[Upbeat music]

Chapter one.

This is the story of
the Hayworth family.

Oh, no.
Oh!

Three siblings who
loved each other.

What do I owe you?
$1,150, brother.

Oh, dang.
Okay.

But money sometimes
got in the way.

Sarah was the middle child

and the one with
the least money.

She lived in a tiny apartment
with her wife, Denise,

and their two kids.

They were always on
top of each other.

Literally.

Hi, I was just calling about
the counselor position.

Oh, you got the job.

So you were supposed
to fill the position,

but you gave it to yourself.

That's fun. Quick question.

Why did you even
have me come in?

I mean, you didn't even
validate my parking, so...

And we are so happy for you.

It's a tough job market
out there right now.

Good luck, and let us know
if anything else opens up.

Can I just say one more thing?

There is a better job
out there for you.

In the meantime, do you
want to bake some cookies

and look at pictures of
Cate Blanchett in suits?

[laughs] Yes, I would.

I thought we were going
to Uncle Connor's place.

Yeah, his house
has a second floor.

- We have a second floor.
- You're sitting on it!

A few minutes away,

Sarah's younger brother Connor
had moved to the Bay Area

with his wife and daughter.

He'd made a fortune in finance,

so much that he bought
his house from Matt Damon.

Yes, that Matt Damon.

They even had a live-in nanny.

Lupe, can you do the thing?

A nanny who took
care of all of them.

[laughs]

Daddy, when do the
cousins get here?

Soon, baby.
Today's gonna be epic.

Whole family together...
Yeah, it's gonna be lit.

That's my girl.

Lupe.

Come on.

You're the best, Lupe!

In between Connor
and Sarah financially

was the oldest sibling,

Tom.

He was middle-class, but
definitely not middlebrow.

[toddler babbling]

What?

Yeah, you know what?
You're right.

It's the wrong kind of funny.

[babbles]
Good point.

Tom grew up the golden
child of the family,

and actually became a
bestselling novelist.

But his latest novel had
sold about five copies,

as the public had failed
to appreciate its subtlety,

and the author photo was not
the one the author chose.

With the expenses piling up,
he now faced the humiliation

of having to ask his
little brother for a loan.

[laughs]

What, you're a critic, too?

Mom!

Also...
I'm bored!

He had too many kids.

Investigators said
they'd never seen

a murder so gruesome,

but what they found
under the floorboards

was even more disturbing.

Well, got in almost half a page

before they started crying.

Your secret book about
Uncle Connor and Aunt Sarah?

- Oh, no, no, no, sweetie.
- It's not a secret.

I'm just... I'm

hiding it from them.

Que gallina es tu papá?

- Mom said you're a chicken.
- [gasps]

Well, that's just
nasty in two languages.

Don't forget, we're going
to Connor's at 3:00.

Great, that'll
give me enough time

to keep doing laundry
for the rest of my life.

Love you, honey!

Yo, bro, comma, psyched
to see your new dump,

exclamation point.

Smiley face.

Yeah, did you buy it
from someone famous?

I can't remember.

Ha ha, very funny.

You do know it was Matt
Damon though, right?

[chuckles]

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music]

I wouldn't want some place
this big... it's too big!

I mean, who would
want all this space?

So many rooms, no one
would ever find you.

I'm going for it.

I'm just gonna look
him right in the eye.

I'm gonna say "Connor,

I know everyone thinks my
career is thriving... ".

Honey, I support you whether
you decide to ask for the loan

or you don't, but I just
can't keep hearing about it.

It's hard to ask your
baby brother for money.

Well, don't think of him
as your baby brother.

Think of him as a cartoon duck

swimming in a pool
of gold coins.

He has a pool of gold coins?

No.

I don't think so.

- Hey!
- Hi.

Hey.

So are we still not
telling your brothers

that you lost your job?

- Not today, no.
- Okay.

Oh, your cheese cave
has a wine cellar?

- Cool, I'm unemployed.
- Okay.

I just... I don't
need Tom's advice

or Connor's sympathy fist bump.

Okay, Lulu, we haven't
seen Connor in over a year,

so maybe let's
not get in a fight

and storm out this time.

Okay, I know your
brothers are Scorpios,

but they're still good people.

You know I don't
believe in that stuff.

That's a very
Capricorn thing to say.

Okay.

Oh, wow, look!

Dibs on tiny Porsche!

- Ready for this?
- Do I have a choice?

No.

[screaming]

Oh, my God!

Hey.

Oh, my gosh, come on,
you have to see my dolls.

Cool, what are their pronouns?

- Come on!
- Whoa!

- So cool!
- Oh, thank you.

- You got it, right?
- Yeah.

[light percussive music]

De dónde eres?

Colombiana, y tú?

Quería, Mexicana.

- Nobody's perfect.
- Oh.

Okay.

- This is obscene.
- I feel dirty.

So what do you guys think?

- So nice.
- It's really tasteful.

Mm-hmm.

I can't believe I'm finally
so close to you guys.

We went stir-crazy in
Seattle this past year.

Ugh, I'm sure it was so
hard for you and Emily

to be quarantined
with an infinity pool.

No, my pool guy
blew up on TikTok.

So he's like a full-time
pool boy influencer now,

just doing all like,
you know, this kinda...

I don't know, but we had
to throw the tarp on.

The pH balance got
all out of whack.

- It's...
- Ugh, I'd move, too.

- Hey, where is Emily?
- She traveling for work again?

Yeah, her firm owns a pipeline

in one of the Dakotas.

I don't know. Someone's
got to pay the bills.

Didn't you make, like,
$5 million last year?

Yeah, but Em makes,
like, real money.

I don't even want to know
what you think real money is.

Oh, Tom, by the way,
finally read your book.

You did?

Yeah... well, first
chapter, but, man.

So far I got to say it is

a much anticipated follow-up.

We talk about how
problematic it is?

Oh, should I not read it?

Well, there's
exactly zero women.

It's about a prison
baseball team in 1906.

That sounds dope.

I thought you read
the first chapter.

It's a long chapter, Tom.

Look, Sarah,
obviously I'm an ally.

Yeah, Sarah, he
married a Latina.

Doesn't he get points for that?

I didn't actually
do it for points.

Just the idea of
points is so toxic.

Okay, well definitely
not less points.

- Fewer points.
- You have a problem.

- Oh, my God, we get it.
- You're a bestselling writer.

And this is the playroom.

Huh, okay, whoo.

Wow.

Shamiah, you got all the
orange and all the railroads.

Guys, let me save you six hours.

Shamiah's already won the game.

- All right!
- But I've got both utilities.

[sighs] Oh, Camila.

All that means is that
you just spent $300

on investments with
zero upgrade potential.

Let me guess, you
got Baltic, too?

Yeah, you got Baltic.

It's like a Willy
Wonka fever dream.

It's like an American Girl
store knocked up a Sephora.

It's like we're inside
Barbie's uterus.

It's like a rave meets
an ice cream shop,

and they...

- I lost it.
- You tried.

- Yeah, I lost it.
- You tried.

- You got a lot of cash.
- That's good.

But it's not like the bank
is gonna pay you interest.

Go off, king.

Thank you, Kelvin.

But let's talk about your
situation over here, bud.

I mean, what's your strategy?
You're all over the place.

The name of the
game is Monopoly.

I'm seeing one of each color.

In chapter three,
add a flashback

where Connor's greed
is stoked by Monopoly,

a game which is ironically
designed to teach

about income inequality.

I'm writing a book.

Hm, I'm making chicken fingers.

Yo, Tom, we're gonna
call Mom and Dad.

And this is the kitchen.

- Oh, wow.
- Wow.

- We love it.
- Yes.

Is that Matt Damon's juicer?

Hey, what's he like?

Who, MD? Oh, he was great.

Yeah, I mean, when my
realtor emailed his realtor

about the inspection, he
responded like, so fast.

- Wow.
- That is so Matt Damon.

And to think you and Tom
shared that tiny little room

growing up together.

My millionaire and
my big shot writer.

Hi, I'm here, too.

- Of course, you are.
- How's work, sweetie?

Oh, so great.

Oh, I love seeing
all of you together.

My kids, my grandkids,

my wonderful ethnic
daughter-in-laws.

- Mom, why would you say that?
- Mom, come on.

What? They know I love them.

Hola, Marina. Café con leche.

- That's right, Grandma.
- Those are Spanish words.

Hey, mom.

I know that Thanksgiving
is a couple months off,

but I would like to try
again with the vegan turkey.

I think the problem last
time was mostly in the taste

and the texture area.

Oh, Sarah...

Okay, fine, there
was a slight odor.

I thought you told them.

No, Connor, you were
supposed to tell them.

Told us what?

Connor's taking us to
the Turks and the Caicos!

What?

I don't understand.

- She said it wrong.
- There's no "the."

Dad.

He's taking us to
Turks and Caicos?

No, the one "the" is fine.

But we always have Thanksgiving

at Mom and Dad's place.

- Yeah, it's a tradition.
- It's like our only tradition.

So you're saying it's
Turks and the Caicos.

That sounds crazy.

Guys, we'll call you back.

Now you got me confused.

What, I can't take Mom
and Dad on a vacation?

Connor, there's 51
other weeks of the year.

Okay, but on Thanksgiving,
all we do is fight.

Why do you guys even care?

Because it's our
special day of fighting.

And it's our special
day of drinking.

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, I'll fix this.

You guys wanna come
to Turks and Caicos?

- I'll bring everyone.
- That's not the point.

Yeah, you're not
getting it, man.

So just airfare or
you cover hotel, too?

Everything.

Whew.

- Tom.
- What? No.

No, no, no. Yeah,
no, Sarah's right.

- That's not the point.
- Okay, Connor, you know?

I didn't say anything

about your ridiculous
Matt Damon house

with its screening
room, and a backyard

that's inside the
house, and a closet

just for your kid's pajamas.

- It's a lot of pajama.
- You know what?

Should we check out the
Japanese soaking tub?

- We're leaving.
- Okay.

Okay? Kelvin! Shamiah!

- Sarah!
- Come on.

- Well, she lasted an hour.
- I owe Shamiah ten bucks.

After the year we've all had!

It was so great
seeing all of you,

and she's gonna be
back for one more zing.

And Matt Damon hasn't
made a good movie

since "We Bought a Zoo."

And we're done.

Okay, Marina, I'm gonna
send you that link

to the seven-minute
workout, and Connor,

welcome to the city.

Thank you.

[electronic music]

Wait, did she say
"We Bought a Zoo"?

Why did we have to leave?

I didn't even get to
drive the Bentley.

- So, Lulu, to recap...
- Please, no recap.

You said you weren't
gonna storm out,

and then what happened?

- I stormed out.
- Yeah.

But I can tell
you're reconsidering

because we haven't left yet.

No. I forgot the keys inside,
and I'm too embarrassed

to go back in and get them.

I think they're on
the towel warmer

next to the robot toilet.

Didn't get to use that either.

[knock on the window]

Found these over
by the Sokito 5000.

You know it's got a
built-in Bluetooth?

I've got to poop in that.

Look, I know you
and Tom were upset.

But when we were kids,

did we solve our
problems by running away?

No.

We'd figure it out.

And then we'd make up by
singing our favorite song.

You know? ♪ Mmm bop ♪

♪ Mmm, mmm, mmm bop ♪

♪ Duba du duba du ♪

Okay, stop, you're
butchering it.

Look, I don't want her to go,

but make it a lot easier to
ask Connor for that loan.

Unless this puts
him in a bad mood.

If you don't want to
ask him for the loan,

I could always go back
to work at the firm.

I thought you hated the firm.

I hate a lot of things,
Tom, yet here I am.

Come on, I've got this
whole day planned out.

Let's just go inside.

I mean, he usually doesn't
put this much effort in.

And that toilet
sounds really cool.

Yes, obviously we all want
to poop in that toilet.

Let's go talk.

I've got the perfect room
where we can work this out.

[quirky music]

Okay, so you meant
literally work it out.

This is where I do
my best thinking.

This is great.

I haven't been to a
gym in eight months.

You guys can use it
anytime you want.

Just wipe off the
equipment when you're done.

What's that smell?

Oh, Matt Damon used to
use this room to dry meat.

Yeah, after "Monuments Men,"

he got real into German cuisine.

Okay, next time just say sweat.

Look, Connor. Connor.

The reason why I'm
upset about Thanksgiving

is that you didn't
even consult us.

It just feels like, since
I make less money...

Well, fewer money.

Right, Tom?

It feels like my
opinion matters less.

Look, I'm sorry I have like
a ridiculous amount of money.

You want me to give it all away?

I'll give it all away.

Obviously not all of
it. That'd be crazy.

- Come on, ask him.
- No, now is not the time.

- This is exactly the time.
- Hey, what's up?

- Hi.
- No secrets in the meat room.

Spit it out.

- Well...
- It...

We're actually having
a sexual problem.

- Ew.
- What?

I agree, we probably
shouldn't talk about it

in front of other people.

We need to borrow money,
but Tom's afraid to ask.

- What?
- You do?

No, no, no, no. Look.

I know everyone thinks
that my career is thriving,

but the tru... ahh!

- Oh, my God.
- Oh!

Tom.

I'm good. I'm good.

I'm okay. I just...

I hurt my elbow a little bit.

And my face.

Wait, you need to borrow
money, why didn't you just ask?

I've been trying, but
it's embarrassing.

It makes me feel like a failure.

Nobody bought my last book.

But the first three
pages were so good.

I don't know what
happened to my life.

I mean, I was the
A student, right?

I'm the one who went to
an Ivy League school.

- Well...
- Cornell.

I'm almost 40 and clipping
supermarket coupons

while my younger brother
subscribes to a magazine

about private jets.

I don't subscribe to that, Tom.

They send that for free.

Every month we fall
further behind.

And three kids are not cheap.

Okay, I'm sorry that
you're going through this,

but you are not the only
one who's struggling.

Okay, Lulu, it's
not a competition.

And we could really
use the help.

Well, we could
also use the help.

Oh, I thought you said
it's not a competition.

Well, Marina, you're
a corporate lawyer,

and I'm a public school teacher,

and my savings account is a mug.

I'm not working anymore, and
you two have dual income,

and we just have Tom's
$12 royalty checks.

Sorry, honey.

We don't have dual
income anymore

because I lost my job last week.

Ooh.

They fired you from the...

- The school thing.
- The school thing?

Do you even know what I do?

- Yeah.
- Yes.

- You're like a child...
- You do guidance...

- Research.
- Counseling.

I'm a therapist for
low-income, at-risk kids.

- Yes, you are.
- Yeah.

- That's what I just said.
- That is exactly what you do.

I wish I'd known
you were unemployed

before I asked for a loan.

Now I feel like a jerk.

Oh, I'm sorry that the
timing of my getting laid off

was inconvenient for you.

- That's not what I...
- Guys.

We're family, okay.
It's not a big deal.

I can float you both.

Connor, I don't want
your money, okay?

Not from big pharma, fossil
fuels, or blood diamonds...

Okay, okay.

But Tom shouldn't get it either.

Whoa!

Oh, that's a healthy attitude.

How is that not toxic?

Oh, the golden boy hits
his first speed bump

and immediately
asks for a bailout?

I mean, white privilege much?

- Mm-mm.
- I'm sorry, I heard it.

Guys, can we please, for
once, just not fight?

I don't think that's possible.

I've been asking
that for 13 years.

Honestly, it's a good thing

that we're canceling
Thanksgiving.

- Guys.
- Oh, no!

How am I supposed to survive
without your fake turkey?

- You said you liked it!
- I lied!

I can... I can still
feel it in my mouth!

Guys!

Come on!

Today was supposed to be epic.

I don't know why I
thought this would work.

Oh.

Why what would work?

- What is with him?
- He's been acting weird all day.

All like, "Let's
be best friends.

Come check out my toilet."

Wait, he said Emily's on
a business trip, right?

In one of the Dakotas.

There's, like, 500 closets here,

and I haven't seen
any of her stuff.

- Oh, my God.
- Oh.

Connor killed Emily.

Sorry, I've had a lot of wine.

[upbeat percussion music]

Hey, Connor.

Oh! Okay.

Yep, real mature.

Come on, man.

Connor, please,
can we just talk?

- Connor.
- We're losing him.

Circle back.

Even in a mini car, you
drive like an old lady, Tom.

Emily's not just on a
business trip, is she?

We haven't told Gretchen yet.

Oh, my God. What did you do?

Dude, she was cheating on me.

- Oh.
- Wow, sorry.

On top of that, my super
hot Pilates teacher

totally wanted it, and I
didn't even do anything.

Okay.

Why didn't you tell us?

- About the Pilates teacher?
- You guys know Danica?

- No, not the...
- She's great, right?

No, not her.

Why didn't you tell
us about Emily?

I didn't know how.

I know how much you
guys look up to me.

- We don't.
- We do not.

Emily was just so much better
at the whole parenting thing.

One of the reasons I wanted
to move back here, you know?

If I'm gonna be a single dad,

I want Gretchen to be with

Be a normal kid.

This is the story of
the Hayworth family,

three siblings who figured out

that while money can divide us,

it's family that unites us.

Ohh!

It's okay.

There's no damage.

Ooh.

Yeah, there's actually
a little bit of damage.

You sure you guys aren't mad

about not going
to the Caribbean?

No.

Thanksgiving at Jason
Bourne's old house?

Can't beat that.

As long as we're all together.

- Bye, you guys.
- Bye.

- Love you, bye.
- Bye, love you.

Love you, guys.

What the hell?

No Turks or Caicos.

I bought new sandals.

I bragged about
this trip to Brenda.

I can't not go.

We'll pay for it ourselves.

Let me check our
Radisson points.

Every time.

Yeah, honestly sometimes
it kind of feels

like it's on purpose.

Why don't I just send
them to Turks and Caico?

- That's a very good idea.
- Permanently.

All right, where were we?

Oh, Uncle Tommy.

You owe my daddy
a bunch of money.

Aw, it's just like real life.

[laughter]

Hey, until that
bestseller comes out.

What's the book about anyway?

- Yeah, Tom.
- What's the book about anyway?

Uh...

I haven't figured
it out yet, so...

Okay, well, try to put a
woman in it this time, okay?

Add woman to novel. Got it.

[laughter]

All right, my turn.

Mommy needs a new
breast pump. Here we go.

As Tom looked at his family,

he felt closer to
them than ever before.

It was a feeling that
he knew would last.

[yelling]

- $2,000.
- Oh, my God.

- You don't need more money.
- He does this every time!

At least, until they found out

he was writing a
novel about them,

and then they'd never
talk to him again.
