brian brian come on we have to talk

what's hard to talk about mandy you want

to go home

i don't want to go i have to go no

you don't you might not care about our

kids

our kids are fine it's us you should be

worried about

what's wrong with us well i don't know i

mean

you tell me here we are on our honeymoon

well we're not on a honeymoon

and all you can pretty much think about

is the kids i am not some blushing bride

you are to me

look i know that you and well my sister

for crying out loud think this is

supposed to be some great romantic

getaway but it

what

i don't know how to be romantic

sweetheart we're we're in paris the

epicenter of romance

well i just i don't not anymore

well then we're in big trouble aren't we

you know for 15 years it's been all

about the kids

which is great because i'm crazy about

them but mandy i'm crazy about you too

and we have to remember how to be

together just the two of us

because if you're worried about the kids

now when they're safe at home with their

aunts

who is not capable of taking care of

them she is

taking care of that ah

that's what this is about you hate the

fact that your kid's sister can do it

that's ridiculous look look mandy i

i know the kids are what you do and i

honor you for that because it's the most

it's the most beautiful thing to me but

the kids are gonna grow

up faster than we can possibly imagine

and they're gonna need you less and less

and if we've done our job right they're

gonna leave

but i'm not going anywhere

i don't know are you you've changed this

whole temporary mom

thing you changed

it's just been for two weeks quinn the

person doesn't change in two weeks

you have and i don't like it

i'm sorry

i sound like my sister you hate your

sister

which is why this is not interesting

you're right it's not

throw a hissy fit

how about that is that interesting

hey how was your night

illuminating

how are the kids uh miles and flo are

out for the count

and alice rode into the sunset with

james dean

by the way that guy is crazy hot

i know

this is your fiance even when he's

snoring

yeah he'll be the father of my children

with benefits

so you guys plan on having kids

absolutely

it's such a huge responsibility

yeah one a billion people can't wait to

take on

when they want to stop having fun taking

on responsibility

doesn't mean giving up joy jen

sometimes it's a great way to find it

[Music]

uh

[ __ ]

[Music]

[Music]

don't leave me

[Music]

we had a deal alice

i know i'm so sorry

one thing's for sure no more sean

it wasn't his fault

did the cops grab him too

i don't think so i think he got away

he abandoned you he wasn't like that

stand up guys we sure know how to pick

are you gonna tell mom and dad you

really disappointed me

atlas big

you time like mom obviously i'm not

mandy because you never would have put a

stunt like this with her

hey it's prodigal niece home safe

and sound yeah

i can't thank you enough for staying

with flo and miles i didn't know who

else to call

oh it's fine they slept right through

good it's

excuse me

uh

you made a mess of everything

miles isn't speaking to me flow's an

emotional free fall

and it always ends up in the police

station

you know growing up that was a typical

day at my house

an older boy a motorcycle of course she

was gonna get herself in trouble

i was acting like her bff and i should

have been her aunt

you can't do this anymore

i'm gonna call mandy she needs to come

home

so what you're just you're just gonna

quit

i'm not quitting i'm being realistic

i've been way over my head

yes you are on the upward arc of your

learning curve

and i wouldn't get my hopes up for

winning any temporary mother of the year

awards

i wasn't kidding me

and my brother and my sister when we

were kids we were always

melting down and messing up is what kids

do

i bet you had a mom who knew how to deal

yeah but i think that's the operative

word deal

i really think that she just made it up

as she went along

you know relying on common sense and a

good heart

that's what parents do

and maybe i am wrong but i think you can

do it too

come on you got chops girl oh

you're all city

i'm gonna give you a minute okay

smells good oh i figured you'd be too

tired to make breakfast for the kids so

quiche kids i don't know about that

i just tell them it's a ham and cheese

pie they'll love it

i should go probably shouldn't be here

when they wake up

too much to explain you should get some

sleep

i'm not a quitter will i hope not

a real bummer to interrupt brian and

manny's trip

i tell you what though if you do stick

around i can make dinner for you guys on

thursday

okay

trying to figure out who she was and how

she fit in

eventually she found out is she a friend

of yours

that's me

you're like the coolest person i know i

thought erica was the coolest

old person wow

i don't know about that but i'm me

and once i figured out who me was

then i figured out how i wanted to dress

and talk and act

we're always growing into who we really

are

so and i'm telling you

he's a very objective ant

you are amazing

if we're always growing then how come

you'll never grow up

deal with toby

hi honey hello

[Music]

harris it's like romance is in its dna

i felt exactly the same way when i was

there oh jennifer your shoes you have to

tell me where you got them

a few days ago dad was bedridden and

in too much pain to travel now he's

playing football

how is that possible

okay mom let's hear it seriously

what did you do okay

there wasn't a fall in the bathroom his

hip is fine

just a little social engineering mom

style

okay sit down sit both of you

jennifer you're my baby

and probably because i've always treated

you as such you've been a little slow in

the growing up department

oh come on well you have and nothing

grows you up quicker than taking care of

kids

and you my dear you grew up too fast

you needed a little time to just to be a

young woman in love again

well you didn't have to socially

engineer that i mean it would have

happened on its own i still have some

hormones left

would it i don't know you see you're

lucky like me you married a terrific guy

someone who'll do almost anything you

ask

but i knew that brian wouldn't get the

kind of honeymoon that he dreamed about

the kind that you both needed unless i

forced the issue what are you talking

about

okay when you thought that jennifer was

going to have to look after the kids for

another two weeks you wanted to hop on a

plane and fly right home didn't you

well yeah yeah and then brian for one of

the few times in his life

put his foot down didn't he what are you

clairvoyant

when it comes to you two yes

oh come on girls it was a once

once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

are you gonna begrudge your gray-haired

mom a little fun your hair is not that

gray

oh if only you knew you know life is not

a practical joke

mom did you have that honeymoon

yes yes and did you like taking care of

those kids

yeah okay i'm sorry

you were gonna jump on a plane oh wait

in just a sec there was a third reason

just like she'll always be my baby

she'll always be your

little sister but

but she's she's all grown up now

and you need to see that

[Music]

oh

you know mom there is such a thing as

being too wise

dinner was unbelievable i think i'm a

kill to get those recipes thanks it's uh

years of practice so now that brian and

mandy are back i

guess you'll be heading home if i want

to sleep in a bed

oh it's been great having you as a

neighbor

too

um take care of yourself

[Music]

tomorrow is a pretty typical friday flo

has the ortho appointment so it's a half

practice

miles is in that concert next weekend so

be sure that he brings the right music

to his lesson

i haven't been gone that long i do know

how to do this

right sorry and obviously so do you

you know mom's right i i do think of you

as a kid

no i did i totally underestimated you

and i apologize you didn't underestimate

me at all

and if i'm even a tenth as good a mom as

you are i got there kicking and

screaming

well whatever the process you really

stepped up to the plate

so

likewise i'll see you tomorrow

mom can i talk to you

yeah what's up baby

so

[Music]

knock-knock hey jennifer

how are you i'm good

actually no i'm not good well sit down

have a seat

you offered me something fantastic and i

was afraid to take it

so i don't blame you for replacing me

with

the temp but i just want you to know

that i am not afraid anymore i'm ready

to take on that responsibility

i took care of three kids for three

weeks and no one thought i could do it

not even i thought i could do it but i

did it

and it taught me that i can do anything

especially when it's important to me and

this job is important to me

it fills me with so much joy

so things don't work out with the other

guy

i.e jennifer really hope that you'll

reconsider it jennifer

i didn't hire the temp you still just

attempt

oh of course i want to have you as my

partner

i couldn't think of anything i'd like

better

wow yeah

that's wow

welcome back

song and

they stop before the last note and it

drives you crazy

business
