- I'm confused. Usually you just grunt in the morning. What's going on?

- Uh, nothing. - Good morning Dad and Derek.

- Ah, morning Ed. How about some eggs?

Sunnyside down.

- Hey, that sounds great. - I know! Get cracking. - Okay.

- Derek. - Oh and some for Dad too.

- Yes, Derek.

- So, listen, ah, since you're feeling, ah, so generous,

maybe I could, ah, jam with D-Rock

the next time you dudes rehearse.

- Dad, I mean maybe you should put away the electric guitar

and pick up a banjo like the rest of the old folks.

- Edwin, Edwin, Edwin!

Rock 'n roll has no age.

It's a state of mind. Look at Neil Young! Look at Mick Jagger! Way older than I am!

- Yeah, but they have that thing you don't have, uh...

Talent. - Yeah.

- I had talent. But I had to put my rock 'n roll dreams aside!

So I could get a job! So I could raise ungrateful kids!

♪♪♪

- What was that about? - I dunno. Something about being ungrateful.

My eggs, Ed?

Atta boy!

people are hard to understand when they don't say what they mean.

Or if they don't know what they mean.

Then they give off mixed signals and you get totally...

Mixed up.

My mom wants you to come over for dinner.

- Oh. That's nice.

- Uh, 'that's nice' as in you'll come?

- Uh no, that's nice as in 'that's nice of her to ask me

but tonight's no good'.

- Max, we've been going out for three months and you've never come over for dinner.

- Call me old-fashioned, but I like to wait till the six-month mark

before I do the family dinner thing.

- Yeah, but if you don't come over for the family dinner thing,

you might not make it to the six-month mark.

- Casey... - So I'll see ya there? Great!

- One hundred! Oh! Sam, I'm on a roll. - How's that?

- I've been holding back from hitting on Sally

while she's going out with Patrick the muscleman,

but now she is free and clear.

- Nice. Is-is she into you?

- Huh! Oh man.

She offered me something off her fork at work last night.

- Does she touch you on the arm?

- Uh, she did kinda poke me to make a point.

- It's very close! I-I mean, cuz you don't want

to hit on a friend if she's not into you, though, right?

- Dude it's a slam dunk.

- Just not like that.

♪♪♪

- What have I done? - What have you done?

- I forced Max to come to my house!

And the people who live at my house? They're not well!

What if after he sees me in my home environment he won't wanna see me anymore?

- Look, Casey, whoa, whoa, whoa! Aren't you just jumping to conclusions here?

- Just because I'm jumping to conclusions doesn't mean

those conclusions aren't right! Think about it!

- I'm thinking about it! - And?

- I think you're jumping to conclusions.

- [Lizzie, Marti, Edwin]: Hey!

- Listen up guys. When Max comes to dinner tonight I need you to be on your best behaviour.

Can you do that for me? - And I need you to turn the TV back on. Can you do that for me?

- Guys, this evening is really important.

- We'll be on our best behaviour. I promise Casey.

- Thanks Liz. - Please, turn the TV back on! I'm gonna miss the ending!

- Okay.

- What did you just promise? - [Others]: CASEY!

[Doorbell]

- Hello, handsome.

- Hey... Cutey?

- Sorry Sally, I thought you were Max.

- That's okay. I just stopped by to give Derek his wallet.

He left it at work last night.

- Oh, that's very nice of you. Come in. - Thanks.

♪♪♪

- Five... Six...

Working out!

- Oh, okay. So is that how you thank me?

- Uh...

Ninety-eight... Ninety-nine...

One hundred.

Oh! Sally, hey.

- You, ah, you left this at the restaurant last night, so...

- Oh! I had no idea.

- Well, I can see why.

- Oh, I wasn't expecting any visitors.

- Ah, come on, Venturi! You should always be ready for the unexpected.

- Oh, you know I am.

- Good.

- Sorry George! My meeting ran late.

I didn't get a chance to go shopping and Max is coming for dinner any minute!

- Okay, Nora... Hi, hi! Don't - don't worry.

We must have something in the fridge.

See...

There's lots of... stuff. Leftover stroganoff.

Leftover rice.

Bendy vegetables. - Oh, George, we can't serve that to guests!

- We serve it to us.

Hey D. Are you going to introduce us to your new friend?

- Oh, ah... Dad, Nora, this is Sally.

- Hi. - Friend from work.

- Hi, Sally-friend-from-work. You wanna stay for dinner?

- What? - Oh, no, that's okay. I couldn't...

- Yeah, we don't even know what dinner is.

- Uh, is that to cook or to compost?

- Hey, you know what guys? I will stay for dinner if you let me cook.

Do you like stir fry?

- Oh, oh, oh, that's very nice of you, Sally,

but we couldn't possibly let a guest cook.

- Yes we could. Oh, I mean no, no, no.

That - that wouldn't be right. - I love cooking.

All I need is some soy sauce and... a sous-chef.

- Um... how did I get roped into this?

[Doorbell]

- Hello, Max. You're just in time for the quiz.

Please -- sit down.

- Ah... okay.

Is Casey here? - Probably.

What's your favourite animal? - A dog.

- Wrong. Mine's a dinosaur. What's your favourite colour?

- Um... green? - Wrong again.

Cuz spinach and broccoli are green.

- Uh huh. - And so is snot.

- Can I change my answer? - No. How many girlfriends have you had?

- Well, that's a little... personal, don't you think?

- No. Casey asked me to ask you.

- Hey, Max. Marti, I did not.

But what would your answer be?

- Ah, never mind. - Catch ya later, Marti.

- Oh!

Casey's not allowed to be alone with a guy in her room.

House rules. So just pretend I'm not here.

- Edwin, you're so cute!

- Ow! - Lizzie!

Can you get Ed outta my room?

- Come on Edwin, he seems like a solid guy.

Now get out! - Lizzie, you know the rules.

I must defend the honour of my stepsister!

- Not if the other stepsister gets you first.

- Ooh, I'm scared.

- Let's go see what's for dinner, hm?

- Hey! Oh!

- Okay, everyone, I wasn't exactly sure who liked what

so I separated the rice and the vegetables...

and the, uh, mystery meat. - Oh, well, it all looks delicious Sally.

- Stop flirting, Edwin. - I'm not flirting.

- Yeah, ya were. You did that creepy thing with your eyebrows.

- What thing? - So, um, Max has a big football game this weekend.

- Oh, really? I'm more of a hockey man myself.

I mean, football's a game of brute force.

Hockey players actually have to have technique and skill.

You know, I think hockey players are like thoroughbred horses, whereas well, football players,

I dunno... They're just cows.

- Well, Derek, if hockey players are like horses,

then why does your team let a donkey like you play with them?

- Maybe Max would like to defend himself.

- Maybe Max is too polite. [Belching] - Ow!

- Edwin, if you didn't eat so fast you wouldn't swallow so much air!

- You call that a burp? [Belching]

- Der-rek! - Oh, classy!

- Derek, would you please excuse yourself. - Excuse me.

[Laughing] - George!

- It was an accident. - Ah, everyone, we, we have guests!

- Well, I know -- I for one am totally disgusted. Aren't you Max?

- Ah, kinda.

- Teach me, teach me.

- Um, who wants to discuss the ozone layer? Or local elections?

- [All]: No!

- Uh, Max, do you have any other interests besides football?

- Music, I guess. - Music? Hey, now you're talking.

♪♪♪ - Oh!

- It all started for me when Uncle Bob bought me my first ukulele...

- That got us playing the college circuit.

...for a few months... got very close to scoring a record deal--

- Max! Um, do you want to come take a look at our...

salt and pepper collection?

- For a garage band we were pretty tight.

There was Boris, this demented drummer

and our bass player Frank had this great mullet and - and -

and crazy Larry? Well, he was just... crazy.

- Max, do you wanna play charades?

- Actually, I think I'm gonna go.

Thanks for telling me all those stories and sorry about the record deal.

- Wha - wha - what about charades?

- Ah, honestly, I kinda hate that game.

But thanks for dinner.

- Call me tomorrow? - Sure.

- [Sally]: I love hanging with your family.

It kinda reminds me of my family before all my brothers left for university.

- Well, the fam liked you so, ah, you'll have to come back.

- I will! Any time.

- So... - What?

Spit it out.

- Um, I was just thinking.

Uh... you know, since Patrick's out of the picture

and despite the fact my family likes you,

maybe we should, ah,

move beyond this friendship thing?

- Oh, you thought...

Well I... This wasn't why...

That - this...

We're just buddies, you know that, right?

- Ah... Yeah, yeah.

I know that.

Well, see ya tomorrow night at work, buddy.

- Okay.

- Ohhhh!

- Hey, bro!

That Sally is one cool lady. When you gonna ask her out?

So, you're probably wondering

why I have cereal on my head. - Probably deserved it.

- So did Max have a fun time last night?

Was it something I said?

- You think Max is gonna dump you because of us?

Casey that's nuts. We aren't that horrible.

Are we? - Yes. Yes, we are.

- Just explain to Max that you're different than the rest of us.

Like a princess who ended up living in a swamp. We don't mind.

- Lizzie, I threw my dessert at Derek. What kind of princess does that?

- You were provoked. - And Derek's guest was a huge hit.

Everyone loved Sally! - You're overreacting as usual.

You'll feel better as soon as Max calls.

[Electric guitar]

And as soon as that stops!

- See, Edwin?

He doesn't sound so bad!

- Yeah, Nora. The dogs howling in the alley would disagree.

- Ow!

Ow! Ow! - Oh, George, that sounded great. Way to rock on!

- Oh, yeah Dad, you totally... killed!

- Oh, who am I kiddin'?

Some middle-aged lawyer getting down in his living room?

Besides, "George in the Jungle" it just -

it isn't the same without the jungle.

- Well, why don't you give the guys a call? Maybe they miss 'getting down' too?

- Oh, face it Nora.

My - my rock and roll days are long gone.

Besides, our - our bass player is some

big shot investment banker I haven't talked to in years

and I don't know.

I think it's time I - I sold this guitar...

bought some golf clubs.

- I can't believe he's gonna get rid of his guitar!

- I know! It's about time!

[Phone ringing]

- [Derek & Casey]: Hello? - [Hey! It's Sam. Hi Casey.]

- Casey! Get off the phone.

- Well, keep it short. I'm waiting for a call. Bye Sam.

- So I - I got your emergency text. What - what happened?

- I don't know!

She dropped by, made dinner, played charades.

Who knew the whole thing was a charade!

She thinks of me as her...

Buddy.

- Guess you read the signals wrong, huh?

- Yeah! I guess I did.

- So what now? - Movin' on Sam.

- Are you off yet?

- Does it sound like I'm off?

- Get off the phone!

- Casey, a watched phone never rings.

- Why hasn't he called? - Call him.

- I already did call! Twice!

And his mother said he was busy. Ah! You know what that means? - That he's busy?

- It means he's avoiding me.

Well, too bad. It's not like I'm gonna lie around all Saturday waiting for him to call.

- Right! - No! Don't leave me alone with the phone.

♪♪♪ - Oh, for the love of Pete!

- Edwin, he's not going to be in the office on a Saturday.

- He's an investment banker! Those guys work 24-7!

- I've got his machine! - So, leave a message.

- Ah, hi. Frank. You don't know me, uh,

I'm Nora, George Venturi's wife.

Actually I'm - I'm his second wife.

Anyway, I - I was wondering if you'd be interested

in a "George in the Jungle" reunion. Okay. Bye.

Uh! How stupid did that sound?

- Very. But I did a search on George in the Jungle's ex-drummer. Boris has a blog!

- Then email him! - I just did!

[Phone ringing] - Hello? Frank?

- [Casey]: Is that for me? - No!

Uh, sorry Frank! So?

About the message? You would?

That's fantastic.

Why don't you stop by the house around seven o'clock tomorrow? I want to surprise George.

Yeah, you rock on too!

He's in! Ah! Says he can't wait to jam with the Jungle!

- Great! - You've got mail. - Hey!

Boris already emailed me back!

And he is pumped. I'll ask if he knows where the other Jungle guy lives.

- Tomorrow night this house is gonna rock!

♪♪♪ - Nora?

- Sorry.

- So, thanks for dinner last night.

- Thank you.

- Look, um... I didn't mean to rush away after,

I was just... I was surprised.

- It's cool. I, ah,

read the signals wrong.

- Signals? What? What signals?

- Ah, I dunno. I, ah, I thought you were interested in me.

- C'mon Derek, you're - you're a lot younger than me

and I - I just thought we were just hanging out. You know, as friends.

- First of all, you're eight months older than me.

And second of all, you came to my house with my wallet,

you made dinner for my family, oh, and you

played charades with the kids! - Yeah and friends don't do that?

- None of my guy friends ever have!

- Hi.

I wasn't sure you would show.

Guess your Mom gave you the message...sss.

- Yeah. She said it was important. Is something wrong? - Not exactly.

Actually, yeah. Can you come in?

- Uh, do I have to?

- I knew it! I knew you were afraid to come in my house!

You don't like my family but I don't think it's fair of you to judge me because of them!

So I threw dessert at Derek and my step dad wants to be a rock star,

but if you're gonna dump me because of them then that's just... stupid!

- You thought I was gonna... Wait! Why? - Huh! Let's see.

Um, you didn't talk during dinner.

You left as soon as you possibly could and then you didn't return my phone calls.

So if you were trying to send a message

I got It - loud and clear.

- Casey, this is so hard for me to say.

- If you're gonna break up with me, just get it over with. But I can't promise to be brave.

- The reason I didn't call you is cuz I thought you were gonna dump me.

- What? Me? You? Why?

- Cuz I was so dorky in front of your family.

I mean, they're all so outgoing and fun and I just felt like...

Lame.

- Lame? You're not lame!

You're the captain of the football team!

- That's different. I'm good at football.

I'm not good at small talk or chatting with parents.

I don't know how to cook. I don't know how to burp on command or goof on Derek

or charm your parents like Sally. Your family is really FUN.

- My family's not fun. They're-- - They're great.

Dinner with them was like dinner at the circus.

In a good way.

- And... I'm the clown? - No way.

You're the girl on the flying trapeze. - Oh! And who are you?

- I'm the guy in the audience waiting till after the show.

- Hm. Well the show's over and here I am.

- [Edwin]: Hey!

You guys need a chaperone? - [Both]: Get lost, Edwin.

- Hey! Now you're getting the hang of my family.

- [Giggling]: He's cute.

- You had a good night.

- Oh, yeah! Lots of tips.

- Yeah! And a phone number. - Well, what can I say?

Some girls can't resist my charms...

and some girls can.

- You know what, we need to talk.

- We did the talk. Now I gotta go. - Why are you being such a jerk?

- What did I do? - You hit on a girl right in front of me!

- So? - So, that is not fair to the girl. You are on the rebound.

- From what?

Look, I asked you out, you turned me down.

I was bummed and now I'm over it. - Oh, well that was fast.

- Yeah, well, I'm not big on feeling bad.

- No, you know what? Either you are really together

or you're acting this way to pretend you're really together just to bug me!

- I would love to stay and, uh,

'decode' your mixed signals, but I've got plans.

- Fine, go out with the red-headed rebound girl!

I'll clean up for you. - Thanks!

Oh, and, by the way?

I'm going out to chill with Sam.

- You are? - Yeah.

Spit it out.

- Okay, fine. I am giving off mixed signals,

but it's not about you, okay?

I broke up with Patrick.

I got dumped

and I'm still in shock about that and I-I just...

I never really thought of you in the dateable kind of way

and maybe I was flirting with you, a little bit, but...

I didn't mean to because it's probably best if...

if we're just... friends.

[Car horn]

- Totally right.

Just friends. Bye!
