He asked me for the one thing

I wanted to do even less
than those things.

He asked if he could
be a part of my life

and Peter's life again.

Well, he's sober.

He, he went through rehab,

hasn't had a drink
in three years.

He's an artist.

He just got this job teaching
at a small college.

It doesn't pay much, but he's
managed to save enough money

to give me the child support due
to Peter since the time he left.

He wants a second chance.

What do you want?

I want to go back in time and
never return his phone call.

I wanna, I wanna take back
that cup of coffee

and the conversation.

Given that that's not gonna
happen, what do you really want?

I want Vic... (sighs)

to be somebody other than Vic.

He's still the same
irresponsible,

annoying, angry guy
he always was.

I thought it was the alcohol,
turns out it's him.

I don't like him.

But maybe I'm judging him
too harshly.

And it even doesn't matter
what I think,

because we have a child
together,

and I stupidly gave him
visitation rights

when I divorced him, which up
until now, he's never requested.

Please, you've got to help me.

Do something, anything
that doesn't let

his reappearance ruin our lives.

I'm going
to talk to Peter,

then I've got to go find
Chandler and talk to him.

Chandler seems to be getting
very close to Peter.

Are you and Chandler
considering... marriage?

No, no.

And even if we were,
this, this turn of events

would mean reconsidering.

Not that Chandler's
not a great guy, he is.

He's the best thing

that's happened to me
and Peter in years...

Did I just hear my name
mentioned?

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

I better get going.

I was assuming
when I heard you talking

that you were waiting
for me,

but... you weren't waiting
for me, were you?

No.

But I-I would like
to talk to you.

Hi.

Hi. I just wanted to say
good night.

Oh, that's very nice of you.

Good night.
I love you.

I love you, too.

That's why I'm hoping
you can find out

what's going on with Peter.

He sounded really angry
on the phone tonight.

And he practically hung up on me
after making me promise

to call him after I was finished
my homework.

I know you met with his mother
this afternoon.

And you know my counseling
sessions are private matters

that I don't share.

Oh. So it was
a counseling session,

not just, say,
a friendly meeting.

Good night.

Fine. Good night.

I just hope that Paris
didn't say no to Chandler.

I hope that's not what's
making Peter angry.

No to Chandler?

Good night.

What's up?

I hate my mother.

Eh, we all probably hate our
mothers at one time or another.

Restrict you?

No.

Took away something?
No.

Won't let you buy something?

No.

Doesn't want you to play
some sport

because it's too dangerous?

Uh-uh.

Made you eat something
that's good for you

that you don't like?

Made you wear bad pants?

Enrolled you for dance classes?

That's just stuff
that all mothers do.

That's not stuff that would make
me crazy enough to hate her.

You don't really hate
your mother.

I might.
Because?

She talked to my dad.

When she was
on her business trip,

they met and had coffee,
and talked about me

and how we could all be
one big, happy family again,

because now he's sober
and responsible.

How do you feel about that?

How do I feel?

If I had wanted to talk
to a shrink,

I would have gone to one.

I wanted to talk to a man.

How would you feel if you were
put in my position?

I don't want to see my dad.

I don't want to talk to him...

I wish he were dead.

You know, my father is dead,

and I can't tell you
how much I miss him.

Maybe I'm not the right person
to talk to after all.

I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to offend you,

but my father was a drunk,
a mean drunk,

and he left us,

and my mom's worked really hard
to get us what we have now.

And we're happy, and we were
going to marry Chandler,

but once again, my dad's shown
up and ruined everything.

Marry Chandler?

Well, he hasn't asked her yet,
but he asked me, and I said yes.

But now that isn't
going to happen.

Now everything is ruined.

Now everything is
more complicated,

but maybe it's not ruined.

What is your mom asking you
to do?

Just see your dad?
Just talk to him?

One or the other.

It sounds like you're
really angry with him.

Maybe this is an opportunity
to tell him how angry you are.

I'm not going to forgive him,

and I'm not going to forget
what he did.

Aren't you the guy who recently
helped facilitate a meeting

between an alcoholic father
and his son?

What's the difference between
what your mom is asking

you to do and what you asked
that father and son to do?

I'll tell you.
That was them and this is me.

I liked that father,
he was nice.

And I liked that son,
he was nice.

But I don't like my father, and
he really isn't nice at all.

Trust me.

It's going to be okay, Peter.

Everything is going to be okay.

You can do this.

And if you can't do it alone,

Reverend Camden will go
with you,

or your mom will go with you.

Or even both of them.

Would you?

Sure.
But why me?

Because if Reverend Camden
or my mom go with me,

I'll have to be
a good little boy;

but if you go with me, I can say
what I really want to say.

You're a cop, you know
the dark side of life.

Does Chandler know about this?

Oh, yeah, he and my mom are
fighting about it right now.

You did what?

I wouldn't have asked him that
if I had known

that you were having coffee
with your ex

with the dream of getting
back together with him.

Getting back together with my
ex-husband would be a nightmare,

not a dream.

Then why did you meet with him?

Because he's Peter's father and
he asked me to meet with him.

Would you get back
together with him

simply because he's
Peter's father?

There's nothing simple about it.

And if you were serious
about me,

about Peter and me,
about us,

then why wouldn't you tell me
before you told Peter?

Would it have made
any difference?

Please, please, please.

I can't say anything.

Did Peter tell you
not to say anything?

No, but he obviously doesn't
want you to know

or he would have talked to you.

Okay, you're right.

And I'm sorry,
I shouldn't have even asked.

Thanks.

You want a cookie?
I feel like a cookie.

I do feel like a cookie
and a big glass of milk.

We have cookies.

We don't have milk.

I'll walk over and get some.

It's cold out.
I'll go.

No, I'll go.

I owe you.

I just got home.

Where were you?

At your house.

Why didn't you come up
to see me?

I went to see Kevin.

I just called to apologize
about before.

I got some stuff going on.

It's about that business trip
your mom went on, isn't it?

I might as well tell you.

She saw my dad.

What's the big emergency?

It's not an emergency.

I told Smitty just to tell you
to call me when you called in.

They told me
it was an emergency.

Do you have any cookies?

I need you to run a check
on Peter's dad,

find out if he has a record
or anything.

Why can't you?

I kind of ran out of favors.

Is it to my advantage
for the guy to have a record?

Either way, Paris is taking
some time away from Chandler.

What's his name?

I'll have to find out.

So here we go again.

Just when I thought

we were going to settle down
with Chandler.

Chandler's got the potential
to be a great dad,

a dad I can be proud of.

And I care about him,
and he cares about me.

But your dad still cares
about you, too.

And you can still care about him
and care about Chandler.

Look, I don't need
any of your sage advice.

This is why I didn't tell you
about it in the first place.

And what do you know about it?
You're a Camden.

I can't believe you.

I was listening.

I admit it.

I can't believe
I sunk so low, but I did.

I apologize.
I'll never do it again.

It's just you left me
downstairs, wondering...

No excuses, I was wrong.

Okay, I guess you owe me.

So I'm assuming you know
that Mrs. Petrowski

went out for coffee
with the ex- Mr. Petrowski.

Paris and Chandler are having
a big fight about it,

so are Peter and I.

Peter thought that Chandler was
going to be his new dad,

and I don't think he wants
his old dad back.

Chandler?

Did Kevin tell you?

No, I didn't.

We have milk.

I thought I heard somebody.

What is going on?

(sighs)

Paris is seeing her ex.

She wants to give him
a second chance.

She wants Peter
to give him a second chance.

And you were hoping to make
Paris your wife

and be a dad to Peter, I know.

Who told you?

Nobody had to tell me.

You're going
to have to let them go.

Let them all have
their second chance,

because that's really
all you can do.

All you can do that you would
feel good about, anyway.

I'm, I mean, I'm assuming that
they both know how you feel.

Yeah.

Good.

I have a feeling
that everything's

gonna work out in the end.

So go home and get some sleep.

And then, here's an idea.

Maybe you should consider that
when you first came here,

you jumped in and did
practically everything

at the church for Eric.

And you did a great job.

But then, you know,
Eric came back,

you stepped aside
and kind of lost your footing.

Not that you didn't
do everything

that anyone ever
asked you to do,

but you've been
waiting to be asked.

And you don't have to do that.

The church needs you.

The community needs you.

The world needs you.

So do something.

Make a contribution.

Good night.

Hey, there's some
hidden brownies

in the drawer
under the dish towels.

And, um, there's plenty
of milk in the frig.

Did you have her say that?

Hey, look who's here,

the guy we like.

(stammering):
I'm sorry.

I really have
to get to work.

I won't keep you.
I just, uh,

have something that I want
to say to both of you.

My timing might have been
bad last week

when I talked
to Peter about, uh...

well, my intentions.

But, uh...

I'm glad that both of you know
how much I care about you.

I wouldn't want either of you,

well, especially Peter,
to think that I was

abandoning you.

I still want to see you.

I still want to talk to you.

But only if and when
it's appropriate.

And, Peter, I think that we need
to let your mom decide that.

And I know that you have
a lot to think about.

But if you need
my help with anything,

or get lonely, or, uh,

you just miss me...

Please, uh,
just let me know.

What, are you afraid
of a little competition?

Peter.

It's not a competition.

If it was, I'd jump right in
and fight to the finish.

But it's not.

He's your dad.

This isn't about me.

This is about you

and your mom and your dad.

I am glad you dropped by.

But I've got to get to work

and I better
get Peter to school.

I want to talk to my dad alone,

man to man.

No, I think I should be there.

I think if any adult has to be
there, it should be Kevin.

Kevin?

I'd be safe with Kevin.

And I have some things
to say to my dad

that I don't think I should say
in front of you

or a reverend.

Please don't tell me
that after what he did

I can't say anything.

I mean, I've been waiting
all this time to say plenty.

I-I just think that your dad
would be uncomfortable

talking to you with Kevin there.

He doesn't even know Kevin.

What about what
I'm comfortable with?

(sighs)

Okay, I've got to get to work.

Listen, let me think
about this, okay?

Let me talk to your dad.

Wait. Please.

I don't want to make
you late, but, Mom,

it's been me and you
for the past three years.

You've made all
the big decisions,

and you've let me be a part
of that decision making.

Don't cut me out now.
Please.

You know, you're right.

You are absolutely right.

If your dad wants to talk to you
and you want Kevin there,

then you should have
Kevin there.

I'll let him know.

Come on.

So while you continue
to help individuals

and save the world
one person at a time,

what I thought
I could do is

gather up all the young people
in the congregation

who haven't found who they want
to help or what they want

to do yet, and get them all
together as a team.

And we could make ourselves
available to community groups,

or social services,

uh, veteran's organizations,

local charities,
global charities

or whoever needs us, but only
if it's okay with you.

Oh, it's more than okay.

It's terrific.

And if you want
my help, let me know.

Otherwise, I'll just,
I'll stay out of your way.

Thanks for supporting me.

I'm excited to get started.

I'm here to see Reverend Camden.

Are you?
No, I'm not.

It's the first door
on the right.

Reverend Camden?

Oh, Vic Petrowski?

Vickery.
George Vickery.

People just call me Vic.

Petrowski's her name,
and I allowed

for Peter's name to be changed.

Thought it'd be easier
for them at the time.

'Course at the time,
I was drunk.

Have a seat.

I'm happy you could stop by.

Believe me,
I didn't want to.

I was hoping for just
a simple conversation

between my ex-wife
and my son.

But, if this is what she wants,

then this is
what I'll give her.

What would you like to know?

Let's see, um,
I went through rehab.

I've been sober for three years
and nine days, whoo-hoo.

Um, I have a job.

A crummy job; I teach art
to a bunch of loser

at St. George Community College.

Yeah, I'm a freakin'
art teacher.

So I guess
you're also an artist?

(chuckles):
Not really, whatever.

I'm sorry if you felt this
meeting was forced on you.

Paris thought
I could be of more help

to her and Peter in
discussing this reunion

if I knew you
a little better.

Right. So if you like me,
you'll get Peter to talk to me.

Yeah, great.
Nobody likes me.

But it never stopped me
from living my life.

Look, I didn't get sober
for nothing.

So let's just
get on with this, all right?

All right.

You mind if I ask,
are you in AA?

Isn't that Alcoholics Anonymous?

Yes, it is.
I'm sorry.

I'm not in it.

I'm not an alcoholic.

I'm sober.

And I don't like people.

What about you?

Do you like you?

Truthfully, not that much, no.

But I'm not changing
for anybody, even me.

Giving up alcohol
is about as far as I want

to go with self-improvement.

I don't have to be
any better than I am

right now for my son to love me.

And that's the way I see it.

You weren't nice drunk,

and the two or three times
I remember you

even being sober,
you weren't nice then, either.

You stink as a father,
and you stink as a husband.

I don't care how much money
you coughed up.

You can't buy us back.

You're a lousy, no good,

rotten piece of...
MARTIN:
Whoa.

You can't talk to your father
like that.

Why not?
That's what I think of him.

Still, if I talked
to my father like that,

I'd be picking myself up
off the ground.

Your father would hit you?

Well, he never has,

but if I talked
to him like that,

I think the chances
would be good that he would.

My father's in the Marines.

You can't talk to a Marine
like that... or a dad like that.

If you ask me,
a father/son relationship

is about honor and respect,

and I'd suggest being honorable
and respectful,

no matter how upset you are.

Sorry, maybe you should ask
someone else.

Are you quoting from a movie?

No, I'm saying
what's in my head.

I've been rehearsing it
for years.

I think you should rehearse
something else.

You can't say any of that.

(sighs)

I don't think I should
even see the guy, but I have to,

and if I have to,
I'm gonna say how I feel.

Okay, fine.

Say what's in your heart,
but use your head.

Know what I mean?

Yeah, I know just what you mean,

but I don't feel
like censoring my feelings.

Maybe you should ask
somebody else about this.

You can ask me.

I promise I won't give you any

of my "sage advice,"
as you call it.

Forget it.

I'm looking for someone
who will agree with me.

You can't talk
to your dad like that.

I understand that you're angry,

but you'd be getting off
to a really bad start.

That's the nice version.

What would you say?

Dad, I'm very happy and proud
that you stopped drinking,

but I'm still angry with you for
the years that you did drink,

for the years that you weren't
so nice to Mom and me,

and I'd like to tell you
how it felt when you left us,

because it was hard for us,

maybe a lot harder
than you realized.

This is why I asked Kevin
to take me.

You Camdens have really lived
a sheltered life.

Just give me a few minutes
to change, and I'll be ready.

Um, well, maybe while
you're getting ready,

Peter can run his speech
to his dad past you,

and maybe you can
help him with it.

I could, but I think
Peter should say

whatever he wants to say.

(sighs)

Well, how'd it go
with Peter's dad?

I was reminded
what a complex

and difficult task
it is for us...

to love one another.

I somewhat
hope that

Peter has the guts to tell Vic
what a mean, rotten guy he is,

'cause I spent a couple of hours
making him try to come

to that conclusion himself
and do something about it,

'cause... he wants to be loved,

and I think he'd respond
to being loved... by anyone.

But unless something shifts,

believe me,
he's gonna remain an island

of self-loathing
and self-hatred, forcing himself

on the only people he can,
Peter and Paris.

I don't think that's
to Vic's benefit,

and it certainly isn't to Peter
or... or Paris's benefit.

Is there anything I can do?

Or anything anyone can do?

My gut feeling is

that we need
to circle the wagons

and just surround this man

with as much love
as we can muster,

and I'd love to lead the way,

but I'm exhausted
from just trying

not to smack him with the
newspaper that was on my desk.

♪ ♪

You had to
bring a cop?

You thought I'd do
something stupid?

Actually, I thought
I'd do something stupid.

I thought I was going
to tell you how much you...

Go ahead.

I wasn't counting
on being happy to see you.

But you are, right?

Sort of. It's just that...

Just that what?

I'm heavier than you remember?

I'm balder, older?

It's still me, kid.

I know, but you weren't
very nice to Mom or to me

when I last saw you.

Yeah, I know.

(clicks tongue)

But... I'm still your father.

And you're supposed to love
your father no matter what.

Yeah, I know, but you left
without even saying good-bye,

and you never even called,

not even on my birthday
or Christmas.

Well, once I was out
of the house,

I didn't want to come back until
I was back on my feet and sober.

I didn't know
it was going to take this long.

And I didn't want
to spoil your birthday

or Christmas by calling.

You might not want
to hear from me.

Yeah, I guess I didn't.

But I didn't really want
to hear from you now, either.

Things have been going
really good for Mom and me.

Yeah, well, now things can go
even better for all of us,

especially your old dad.

Why now? Really?

You quit drinking
three years ago,

and you've had your job a while.

'Cause I couldn't go any longer
without seeing you.

I'm... bored,

lonely,

and I missed you.

Is that a crime?

No.

Good.

So, is your mom seeing anybody?

(exhales loudly)

(sighs)

(phone ringing)

Hello?

Ruthie. Uh, just the person
I was hoping to talk to.

How can I help you?

Well, I'm working
on this new project

where I get different teams
of people from the congregation

to help out with all the local
charities and the civic groups

who need support
with their projects,

and the word got out so fast
that I just got a call,

and I now I need some volunteers
for Saturday.

That's tomorrow.

Yes, it is.

How would you like to help

a really nice group of people
move into a new home?

Okay. I'm not much
on heavy lifting,

but I'm pretty good
at bossing people around.

(quiet laugh)

I tried to find something
good about him today--

and-and there's
good in everyone--

but it's more difficult
to see in some than others.

My hunch is that if he
could see his own value,

love himself,
respect himself,

you'd all be coming at
this from a better place.

Dad, tomorrow,
Chandler needs me.

Great.

To help move.

Terrific.
Maybe Martin and Cecilia

would like to get involved.

We're going.
We're involved
already.

And don't forget to ask Peter.

Uh, about spending time
with Chandler?

Is that a good idea?

What makes me think
you're up to something?

I was wondering the same thing.

Hi.
Hey.

Kevin went home.

So, how-how'd it go, you two?

Okay. Good even.

Thanks for making me do this.

Uh, Dad, this is Ruthie

and Cecilia

and Martin.
VIC:
Oh, yeah.

You're the Marine's kid, huh?

When are you signing up,
next month?

I'm only 16, but when
I'm 18, yeah, I might.

Why? Was that a crack
at the Marines?

Calm down. It wasn't a crack.

I'm just being friendly.

Apology accepted.

You don't live here,
either, right?

No.

It's like an orphanage,

only the, uh, kids have parents
waiting for them at home, huh?

Well, if you guys are all done
staring at me,

I think I'll go home.

Peter, I'll call you tomorrow.

Paris...

...good night.

Good night.

We-We better be going, too.

(door closes)

Yeah,
good night.

(sighs)

Everything's
gonna be fine.

(door closes)

LUCY:
Ah.

So Kevin says
everything went pretty well.

I don't know
how that happened.

Does Peter have
to see his father?

Well, it's not a matter
of having to see him.

Most children want
to see their mom and dad,

no matter who they are
or what they've done to them.

And since we all love Peter,

we're going
to find a way to love Vic.

So what's your plan?

All will be revealed
in due time.

In due time.

Hiding?

No, I'm not hiding.

What do you know
about this group of people

that Chandler's going
to help tomorrow?

I know they're nice people,

and I think they have something
to teach us all.

About loving Vic?

Mm-hmm.

Does Chandler know
that he and his project

are being used for your project?

Well, Chandler won't mind

when he understands that
it's-it's also to his benefit.

When are you going to tell him?

Uh...

All right.

(phone beeps on,
touch tones sounding)

(phone ringing)

Eric!

How did you know it would be me?

Because I finally figured out
that you were the only person

that knew about my idea, so
you must have made a phone call.

Well, I-I was inspired.

I-I acted in the moment.

It's okay.
I'm grateful to jump in

and get going, so thank you.

You're welcome.

Okay, what don't I know?

Can I come up?

Sure.

I brought pie.

I didn't want to show up
uninvited and empty-handed.

Did you talk
to Peter?

No, but I met
his dad. Wow.

By the way, we need help
moving some people tomorrow.

What people?

I don't know.

Just some people that
Chandler said he'd help move.

Fine with me.

We're out of milk.

Could you get
it, Kevin?

I need a sister right now.

Ever since Peter's dad
came around,

he's been angry with me.

He doesn't want
to talk to me.

He doesn't think
that I'll be able to understand

what he's going through
because we're Camdens,

and our parents
never divorced.

This was a sudden
change for Peter,

and I think he was a
little scared and angry

before he sat down
and talked to his dad.

You should see his dad.

I mean, I'm surprised
he wasn't more scared and angry

after he sat down
and talked to him.

Yeah. Kevin met him.

He had the same reaction.

I don't know why
Peter's angry with me.

I'm the one who told him

it was okay if he wanted his dad
in his life.

I told him he could love his mom
and Chandler, and his dad, too.

It may have seemed that
you were giving Peter permission

to love his father,

when he hadn't yet
given himself permission.

He has to get to
know him again.

None of us know his dad.

We don't know
if we like him or not.

We don't know if he's capable

of being a positive addition
to Peter's life or not,

and that's none
of our business anyway.

That's Paris's and
Peter's business.

All we know is
that we love Peter,

and he's a positive addition
to our lives.

So what I think
Dad's in the process of doing is

making it easier for all of us
to accept Vic into our circle,

so we don't push Paris
and Peter out.

Especially while
they're vulnerable and scared

and going through
a difficult time.

How's he going to get us
to accept Vic?

Seems to be a big secret,
but we'll find out tomorrow.

Thanks, sis.

I really needed that.

(laughs quietly)

What? We have milk.

I know. Thanks.

(phone ringing)

(phone beeps on)

Yeah?

I finally got the information
you wanted.

Nothing. Squeaky-clean.

Not so much as a parking ticket.

Thanks.

Think Paris will go back
with him?

I kind of doubt it.

But there's nothing wrong
with him.

Oh, there's plenty wrong
with him.

There's just nothing legally
wrong with him, but thanks.

(phone beeps off)

(dial tone, phone beeps off)

Can't you get in trouble
for running checks

on people
all the time for no reason?

Yes. Nevertheless,

that never stops you
or your family from asking.

(phone ringing)

Hello.

Hi.

I just wanted to say good night

and thanks for introducing me
to your dad.

I was gonna call you.
You were?

I'm sorry
if I've been a jerk lately.

No. I've been a jerk.

I don't know
what you're going through,

and I just want to say
that I hope

you still have room for me
in your life

no matter how things go
with your dad.

Always.

But just so you know,
I'm kind of expecting my life

to be a little like a roller
coaster now that he's shown up.

I don't think this is gonna
be an easy ride,

and I don't know if we're gonna
make it back safely,

or if everything's just gonna
break down again.

Is there anything
I can do for you?

I'm bringing my dad over
to the house tomorrow

and we're all gonna help
Chandler move those people in.

So, if he gets mean,
or insulting or anything,

if you could just, well,

not judge him or anything,

or judge me because he's my dad,

that would be great.

I know people don't
always like him,

I don't always like him.

He's embarrassing at times,
but he is my dad.

No problem.

It'll be a problem, but thanks.

Good night.

Good night.

(sighs)

I don't know how I would
have gotten done today

without your help.

Most of the parents are like me,

too old to be much good
for physical labor.

Of course that's why
we have to do this,

because the parents are older.

And when they pass away,

the children have to have
some place to go.

(grunts)

Relatives--

they don't usually
want to take 'em,

and social services
isn't the place.

'Cause they've always
had a home.

You know it's hard to get people
to adopt adults,

but some of them do
take them in.

I've just been
waiting for a...

a house to become available
in my neighborhood

that my wife and I could
afford to help buy.

(sighs)

There's John,

my son.

I'm so proud of him.

Your dad must
be proud of you.

It's an honorable profession
you've chosen.

Yeah, well, my dad passed
away last summer,

and honestly, he never
really liked the idea

of me being a minister.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear
about your dad.

I'm sorry to hear that he never
told you he was proud of you.

But you take my word,

fathers are all proud
when their sons succeed.

And you've obviously done
very well with your life,

Chandler.

You're a good man.

Hi.

So you're the minister
of the church.

Uh, my official title is
Associate Pastor.

That's nice.

Yeah.

Would you marry me?

Uh...

He thinks you want to marry him.

No, I meant,

would you marry me
to my boyfriend.

Oh.

Of course.

Of course, I can do that.

But first you gotta
get a boyfriend.

Yeah.

That's first.

Thank you.

Where did John find
his housemates?

Oh, they all work together
at a local TV station.

They help out
with anything

that anyone needs
help with.

You know,

delivering packages,

or pick up lunches,
help out at corporate events,

almost anything.

You know, they've worked
together for so long,

that Mrs. Thomas and I have
become close friends

with the other parents,
also the kids.

'Course they're not kids
anymore.

Looks like a
clown car.

(all laugh)

Is, uh, Peter coming with you,
or is he coming with his dad?

Oh, he's coming with his dad.

Ah. Good.

That's-that's good,
I guess.

After I finish this, I'm gonna
go get the smoke detectors.

You need a new one
in here,

and we should put one
in the hallway.

And what can I do?

I am good
with money,

so if you have any
budget problems.

And I'm a mom,

so I can cook
and clean

and do laundry.

That's nice of you
to offer,

but we like doing
all that ourselves.

How many children
do you have?

Oh, just one, Peter.

What's your husband's name?

Uh, well, I'm divorced,
but his name is Vic.

He, uh,

he hasn't been around
in the past few years.

In fact, this weekend is
the first time

he's seen Peter in...

three years.

They're supposed to come
by later and help out.

I'm sorry.

This must be
a hard time for you.

And it must be scary
for you, too.

(sighs)
Yeah, it is.

I never even thought
to offer Paris any sympathy.

I know.

Me neither.

I didn't even say
anything to her.

I think this is
one of the many lessons

my dad was hoping
we'd learn here today.

Are you excited
about moving

into a house with
your friends?

I have to.

My mom is making me because
if I stay at home with her,

when she dies
I'll be all alone,

and that won't be
any good.

My father's dead.

Do you have
a father?

No, he died when
I was young.

Who are you going to live with
when your mother dies?

I live with
my wife Lucy.

We live in her family's
garage apartment,

so we have lots
of family around.

That's good.

I'm sure your dad is happy
when he looks down and sees you.

We just attempted our first
ceiling fan installation.

How'd you make out?

Uh, we were thinking

maybe we should get Annie
over here a little sooner.

I bet Lucy could help.

I could ask Lucy.

I'm not afraid to ask for help.

Oh, thanks,
but I should ask her...

like he told me to
an hour ago.

I'll go with you.

Martin can help Richard move
this table inside.

I heard
you play baseball.

Yeah, I do.

How did you learn
to play baseball?

My dad.

That's wonderful.

You'll always have that.

Your dad taught you
how to play baseball.

My mom and
little brothers

are bringing lunch
over for everyone.

(laughs)
What?

You're not waiting
for your mother.

No, I'm not.

I'm waiting for my
boyfriend Peter.

He's coming over
with his dad.

Do you like Peter's dad?

I'm trying to,
but... you'll see.

Everything will be fine.

You know how I know?

No.

Because everything is fine.

Peter and Vic are here.

Hey.

They're here.

Wait till you see this.

You're not going to believe it.

Hi, I'm Peter.

This is my dad Vic.

Hi.

(tearing)

Oh, you stupid idiot.

Moron, jackass!

Pinhead!

I think he's talking
about him, not us.

I painted this.

I wanted to give you guys
something for your house.

I can't believe I ripped it.

I'm such a...

Can we see it?

Wow.

(gasping)

It's beautiful.

It's not beautiful,
it's torn.

So it's not perfect.

Nothing's perfect.

Come on, I stink.

So you're not
perfect either.

We all love you.
We love you.

Thank you,
Peter's dad.

You're great.
Good work.

You're wonderful,
Peter's dad.

Thank you very much.

Okay, that's
nice, thank you.

That's a nice
group hug.

I appreciate it.

He might be
all right,

and whether he is or
isn't, we love you.

Thank you,
Cecilia.

When we get
finished here,

you feel like going
to the batting cages?

Just the two of us?

Maybe we'll take
Richard.

I think he'd like it.

What?

I was just thinking
how great it is

to have a wife
and a family.

It's amazing.

You said
to expect a miracle

and there are little miracles
happening all around us.

In matters of the heart,

always best to go to those
with the biggest hearts.

Thanks, both of you.

And thank your boss.
