But make it quick, 'cause I'm on commercial break.

Today is the day.

We got our learner's permits.

You promised you'd teach us to drive.

No, no, no, no. I didn't say that.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, you did.

Raven [over recording]: I'd be happy to show you how to drive

once you get your learner's permits.

-Pfft. -Mmm.

Raven [over recording]: As sure as I am your mother,

Yep, that's me.

Okay, uh, all right. But...

No, see, I, I don't know where my keys are, so--

London's where you met Dad, right?

Yeah. Sure was. And it was an amazing time.

Full of hand-holding,
