Okay, here's your food.

Why is Becky bringing you food?

Darlene's ex-boyfriend's
new-agey vegan place

is on my way home.

Yeah, I love the food,

but it would be way too awkward
to run into Nick.

Well, I'm not doing it anymore.

It's full of people who think
natural deodorant works,

but it doesn't.

Their patchouli disorients you

so the B.O. can attach itself
to your clothes

and follow you home.

Oh, yeah. It's on there.

Why would it be awkward
for you to run into Nick?

I'm gonna tell you

so that you don't make
the same dating mistakes

that I did.

Ben was a schmuck.

And he baited me into a fight
that drove Nick away.

Dad said Nick broke up with you

because you're a black widow spider

who sucks the souls out of men

and leaves their dreams
tangled in your web.

Prove me wrong.

You know what?

I've had enough of you people
making a bad situation worse.

Yes, I've had terrible relationships.

Thanks for reminding me
every minute of my waking life.

I'm gonna go eat in the living room.

Wow. She's really upset.

She just needs to be alone
with her thoughts.

I think we know what we have to do.

Oh, Darlene!

Come here, big baby!

04x11 - Patriarchs and Goddesses

Thank you so much for making
sandwiches for Aldo's boys.

They're odd, but they're
actually pretty sweet.

- They like me now.
- Be careful.

They liked the hamster
before they decided to play

"Hey, let's see how far
we can throw the hamster!"

Sorry for barging in, guys.

Um, Harris,

my dad just showed up out of nowhere

and wants to see the kids.

Could you help me get them packed up?

Okay, well, I'll come with you.

I'd love to meet your dad.

Not a good idea.

See, the thing is,
he just wants to see the boys.

He doesn't want to see you.

I've been with those kids.
That's not the pick I'd make.

Wait, what's his problem with me?

Have you told him anything about me?

Yeah, totally.

I told him you're a hot 19-year-old

who I met at a tattoo parlor,

and somehow, he spun that
into a bad thing.

You gotta get this sorted out
before I move in,

or it's gonna be weird when he visits.

Yeah, um, more bad news on that front.

Um...

he's totally against you moving in.

What?

That's insane.

You're 38 years old.

Why are you even listening to him?

He's my dad.

I can't just shut him down
without hearing him out, babe.

Look, let's see if we can
handle things differently

with your dad this time.

Ask him to come over and talk to me,

geezer to geezer.

Really? You would do that?

- Yeah.
- Thank you, Grandpa.

Aww, that's super cool.

I would have never asked you to do that.

I'd do anything to make
my granddaughter happy.

And you remind me of my younger self...

an irresponsible dumbass.

I was, uh... I was talking to my friends

down at the arcade, and they said at 38,

guys' brains aren't even
fully developed.

Don't strain yourself, man.
Just take the compliment.

I really needed a chill movie night.

Why do we have to sit so close?

Oh, Ben likes being near the screen,

and I guess I got used to it.

Well, that explains why
he's sitting with a date

in the row right in front of us.

Oh, crap.

- Let's go.
- No, no.

I can handle this.

Even though he busted up
my relationship with Nick,

I'm gonna show him
that I am way healthier

and I am fine with him dating.

Then how about this?

We sit in the back
and lob Milk Duds at him.

He'll never know
where they're coming from.

No. But I-I-I have to tell him I'm here.

Otherwise, if he sees me,

he's gonna think I'm stalking him.

Wait, is that why we're here?

Are you stalking him?

No. If I were stalking him,
I wouldn't have brought you.

You're super loud.

Hey, there!

Hey. Okay, well...

I guess living in a small town

means this is gonna happen
once in a while.

Especially at the... Lanford Monoplex.

Darlene, this is Laura.

Hi, I'm Darlene... the ex.

Oh, hello.

- Uh, sorry to bother you.
- Yep.

I just wanted Ben to know
this was a total accident...

- Oh.
- ...and I have no problem

- with him dating.
- Oh.

So, if you guys wanna
hold hands, go for it.

I'm just gonna be back here with Becky.

Hey, Becky.

Hi, Ben.

So...

enjoy the movie!

What do you think?
Handled that well, right?

Yeah.

It was just the right amount
of excruciatingly awkward.

Oh, man.

What, you think I made
his date uncomfortable?

- Let me go fix that.
- Darlene...

Hi, Laura.

My sister feels like
I made you uncomfortable.

But don't be... I am not stalking him.

The only reason we're at the same movie

is because I love "Ghost World,"
so I turned him onto it.

But you know what...
it's not like it's our movie.

You know what?

You can make it your movie.

I gift you the movie.

I mean, I'm still gonna be back here,

- but you know what I mean.
- Okay, thanks.

- Enjoy the movie.
- You too.

Okay.

Done and done.

You sure?

You done?

Good!

I kinda like his date's hair.

I do, too.

I should tell her.

- Hey, by the way...
- Oh, my God.

...I love your hair.

I mean, just 'cause I'm the ex

doesn't mean I can't
enjoy your style, right?

Y-You know what?

We should get coffee sometime.

- Talk about this guy, huh?
- Darlene.

Darlene, just stop talking to us.

Stop talking to her. Stop talking to me.

Just... On behalf of people everywhere,

stop talking.

Sorry.

I am very, very sorry.

Let's just go somewhere else

where they don't let crazy people in.

I can't believe you didn't stop me.

I told you we should leave!

I told you you couldn't handle it!

I told you we should sit in the back

and throw Milk Duds at him!

- Shh!
- I told you you were loud.

Remember, Harris really
wants this to work out.

Aldo's dad is here, so be nice.

When the hell am I not nice?

- Hey.
- Hey! You must be Jesse.

I'm Dan. Come on in.

- Thanks, man.
- Yeah.

And I'm Harris' aunt, Jackie.

Oh, it's so sweet of you to bring beer.

It's really refreshing to see somebody

who doesn't show up
to the door empty-handed.

Oh, I just brought these for me

'cause I didn't know
what kind you guys have.

You get used to something,
you want it all the time.

It's kinda like your favorite pickle.

I get it. I like gherkins.

You can put one
between your cheek and gum

and have your own secret little treat.

Well, I will leave you men
to talk about your pickles.

I'd stay, but, uh, I have an appointment

with my psychic.

Aldo's mom was a psychic!

No wait, psy... psy...

psychotic.

I get those confused.

Why don't we take this in the kitchen?

I'd be a bad host
if I let you drink alone.

Yeah, you would.

Oh, I didn't know you had that kind.

I'll take one.

I'll put these back in my truck.

My gas Gauge doesn't work,

so I like to have
emergency "walking beer"

for when the truck stops coasting.

Good plan.

So...

I hear tell you don't think
it's a good idea

for Harris to move in with your son.

No, I think it's a terrible idea.

She's not the right woman for him.

Hey, you got anything crunchy?

Just our milk. Listen.

You and I have been alive long enough

to be a good judge of people.

Harris isn't just
some irresponsible dropout.

She pays rent.

She's got a steady job.
She's a solid person.

Way I see it,
Aldo is damn lucky to have her.

I didn't say she's bad.

I said she's not right.

I'm a roofer, Dan.

And like a lot of roofers,

a couple bees chased me off a two-story

into a wheelbarrow full of bricks.

Were the bees mad 'cause
your story didn't have a point?

I'm getting there.

I'm a storyteller, Dan.

Anyway, a man needs
a woman he can count on.

And Aldo's mom, Marlene...

she was there for me after the accident.

She taught me how to read and write

and play harmonica again.

You're a lucky man.

That must have been
before she went psychotic.

No, that happened

right after I slept with her sister.

- Oh.
- I told her...

I told her it was dark, and...

and they're pretty much the same height.

She came at me with the rake anyway.

You never know what's gonna
set a woman off.

But bottom line is,

what you and I think...

don't mean squat.

Harris and Aldo are adults.

You can't tell 'em what to do.

Aldo's not an adult, Dan.

It's painful for me to say this,

'cause they never set my jaw right...

...but he...

is a 38-year-old man-baby

who still likes to
jump up and down on the bed

in the morning.

He still watches "Blue's Clues."

He never fell off a...
a roof or nothin'.

That's just the way he is.

Wait, I-I'm confused.

Harris isn't the problem.

You're saying Aldo isn't
mature enough for her.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

You heard about the first wife, right?

Only that she was a drug addict.

Not at the beginning.

The woman had a Master's degree.

When Aldo and those creepy kids
were done with her...

...she was smokin' rock under a bridge

and talking to her foot.

If you give a crap
about your granddaughter...

...you gotta get her out of this.

Wow.

Thanks, Jesse.

I know it must be hard for a parent

to see their kid
the way they really are.

I'll talk to Harris.

Good.

Good.

Um, can I siphon some gas

out of your lawnmower to get home?

I'm sorry, man.
I don't have a lawnmower.

All right, uh, why don't you
just give me ten bucks

and we'll call it even?

How about this... you give me 20

and I'll owe you 10.

Nice.

I'm gonna remember that one.

So, I just spent 45 minutes
on the phone with Laura

trying to convince her

that it is safe
to go on another date with me.

Why did you do that?

I was just trying to show you

that I was cool with you dating.

I'll tell her.

Hey, Siri?

Call Laura.

Calling Laura.

God, no!

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

I didn't expect
to see you with somebody.

And it caught me a little off-guard,

and I went too far
in front of your new girlfriend.

Is she your new girlfriend?

Is that what that insanity
at the theater was all about?

Trying to figure out
how serious I am about Laura?

No, absolutely not.

But obviously, you're dying
to tell me, so go ahead.

We've only been on three dates, okay?

So I don't know where it's going.

Actually, two, 'cause she's not
letting me count last night

'cause of, you know, the "tiny lunatic."

Sorry.

It's hard.

I know.

So?

Is she a nice person?

Yeah, I like her.

You know, she's easy to be with.

Well, that must be
a nice change of pace, huh?

You know, you go through stuff,

and you figure out what you want.

I think I want easy.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Don't tell the kids we went sledding.

Everything's more fun without them.

Whew!

Dad pulled me behind his truck!

Yeah, the exhaust makes you giddy,

and the intersections are a real rush.

Sounds like fun.

Ah, she's gonna ruin our buzz.

I know it.

Let's get out quick.

It's too late.

She's seen us.

What's wrong?

Ben was just over here.

Ah, he come to read you the riot act?

He said he doesn't want to be

with someone like me anymore.

Well, he... he did
leave you some clues...

the breakup, uh,

his devastating rejection
of your proposal,

his moving on with another woman.

I mean, individually,
it doesn't seem like much,

but when you put it all together...

No, I know that.

I guess when I started
my spiritual journey,

on some level,
I thought when I was, like,

the new, improved Darlene,
I could get him back.

There's no reason that can't happen.

Yeah, there is. He wants easy.

I'm never gonna be that.

I'm always gonna be hard.

I freakin' told you she'd kill our buzz!

Damn it!

So? I'm dying to know.

How'd it go with Aldo's dad?

I'll tell you.

- But watch the game with me.
- Okay, but I'm starving.

I'm gonna grab a yogurt.

Uh, while you're in there,
could you grab some chips...

- Mm-hmm.
- ...and decide not to stay with Aldo

'cause you're too young for him
and he's too immature

and I don't want to see you
throw your life away?

Appreciate it.

What are you talking about?

I thought you were okay
with me and Aldo.

What happened yesterday?

Sorry... I know we spent a lot of time

detailing the Maserati,
but unfortunately,

we're not going to race slot cars today.

'Cause I just found out
my dad convinced your grandpa

we shouldn't be together

when he should've
worked it out with me, Dad.

Hi, I'm Jesse.

And I'm Harris,
and I really don't appreciate

you butting into our lives!

I was attacked by bees.

You don't scare me.

Okay, I-I-I-I think
we all need to sit down

and have a respectful conversation.

So everybody shut
your dumb old pie-holes

and listen to me!

First of all, watch your mouth.

I'm not dumb.

Second of all, my hole
also enjoys cakes and donuts.

I-I'm sorry, sir.

My father should not have come over here

and told you that I'm some kinda loser

who's gonna screw up Harris' life.

I'm looking at this differently, son.

I just don't think Harris is ready

to take on everything
you've got going on.

Can everyone stop talking about me

like I'm not in the room and
making decisions about my life?

I can speak for myself.

Sure, but I just don't think
you ought to be playing mother

to three kids.

I only have two.

Oh.

Yeah.

How hard do you really want to fight

when this is the prize?

I'll show you how hard.

I don't care what any of you say.

I'm moving in with Aldo and the boys,

and it's gonna be great.

That's right.

Harris is moving in with me,

and it starts now.

And I don't need anybody's approval!

- How'd I do, baby?
- You did great.

- Yes!
- Let's get the rest of my stuff.

Well, Dan, it looks like you and me

are probably gonna end up being in-laws.

Yeah.

And now my boy's mad at me,
I don't have any place to stay.

And, uh, since we're
practically in-laws...

I hear you, Jesse.

And if I didn't like you so damn much,

I wouldn't be offering you
this here beer

for your walking journey.

Gee, thanks.

One will get me out to the porch,

two will get me out of the yard.

See ya.

Oh, wow.

I thought it was kids playing a joke,

'cause when I looked
through the peephole,

there was nobody there.

If you could jump up and down next time,

then I'd know the place isn't haunted.

I brought you something.

Oh!

That's nice. Come on in.

Wow!

- Very cute place.
- Eh?

- Uh-huh.
- Thank you.

I mean, it's still
a work in progress, you know?

I'm still trying to figure out

which wall to hang
my Smash Mouth poster on.

Oh, well, uh, your closets have walls.

I'd go with one of those.

So, this whole visit's for the plant?

And to say thank you.

Uh, you were honest with me,

and it helped me be honest with myself.

You've moved on, you got your own place,

and I gotta do the same thing.

Well, good for you.

And thanks for the housewarming gift.

Oh. Yeah.

It's really more of a goodbye gift.

Really?

Y-You know I work with your dad

and spend a lot of time with your kid.

I will be coming over to the house,

so it's not really goodbye.

I mean, unless you're here to kill me.

I don't think it's
the right move at this time.

It's not a physical goodbye.

It's an emotional one.

Right.

Well, I hope everything works out.

And when you find a place,
I'm gonna come over

with a $4 plant I got
from the drugstore, too.

Oh, that's $2 more than I spent.

I'm saving up for a house here, so...
