- MORNING, VAN. - MORNING.

HELLO, VAN. BARBRA JEAN.

GOOD MORNING, KYRA. SO.

NOW YOU'RE MY BROTHER-IN-LAW AND MY NEW DADDY?

MRS. H, I CAN EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED.

I... SEE, I HAD A FEW BEERS AND...

I MADE A MISTAKE. I AM REALLY, REALLY SORRY.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT THEY USUALLY SAY TO ME IN THE MORNING.

IT'S OKAY, VAN.

YOU WENT A LITTLE WILD WITH YOUR TEAMMATES.

BUT YOU DID THE RESPONSIBLE THING... YOU DIDN'T DRIVE DRUNK.

- THAT SHOWS GOOD JUDGMENT. - INTERESTING.

THE FIRST TIME HE SHOWS GOOD JUDGMENT, HE'S DRUNK.

IT'S OKAY, VAN. IT'S MY FAULT.

I HAVE THE BODY OF A 20-YEAR-OLD.

GOOD ONE.

COULD WE NOT TALK ABOUT YOUR BODY?

AND COULD WE NOT TELL ANYONE ELSE ABOUT THIS, PLEASE?

OOPS.

- DID YOU TELL CHEYENNE? - I'M SORRY, VAN.

BUT A STORY LIKE THIS ONE HAS A TENDENCY TO BE TOLD. OH, YEAH.

HELLO, LOVE OF MY LIFE. HELLO, TRAMP.

WATCH OUT. THAT'S MY MAN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

CHEYENNE, I CAN EXPLAIN.

MY BUDDIES TOOK ME OUT. WE KINDA GOT CRAZY.

BUT I DIDN'T DRIVE, RIGHT? DOESN'T THAT SHOW GOOD JUDGMENT?

WHERE WAS YOUR GOOD JUDGMENT WHEN YOU TRIED TO SLEEP WITH MY MOM?

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? I'M UGLY?

I MADE A LITTLE MISTAKE. I WENT INTO THE WRONG ROOM.

IT'S NOT LIKE I WENT INTO THE WRONG HOUSE.

OH, LORD.

IT COULD'VE BEEN ME.

- THERE'S A REASON NOT TO DRINK. - OOH.

I DON'T SEE WHY YOU HAVE TO GO OUT WITH YOUR STUPID BUDDIES ANYWAY.

THAT'S SCULLY.

HE'S TAKING ME TO THE STADIUM FOR SOME MEDIA STUFF I HAVE TO DO.

AH-AH-AH! THE PEAS STAY HERE.

OH, AND MY "STUPID BUDDIES"...

ARE PROUD OF ME.

THEY THINK WHAT I'VE ACCOMPLISHED IS A BIG DEAL. THAT'S WHY I WENT.

OH, MY GOSH. VAN'S RIGHT.

THAT'S EXACTLY IT. I ALWAYS TELL HIM HOW... HOW GREAT THE MONEY IS,

BUT I DON'T THINK I EVER TELL HIM HOW PROUD I AM OF HIM.

I DON'T KNOW THAT ANY OF US DO.

SOMETIMES IT'S LIKE HE'S SEEN AS THE FAMILY GOOFBALL.

I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE.

AH! AH.

OW.

WHY DON'T WE THROW VAN A SURPRISE PARTY OF OUR OWN THIS AFTERNOON?

I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. YOU KNOW WHAT? WE SHOULD GET HIM SOMETHING.

WHATEVER WE GET HIM, LET'S HIDE IT IN MOM'S ROOM.

WE SHOULD GET HIM SATELLITE FOR THE TV.

HE'S ALWAYS WANTED THAT. I'LL CALL THE SATELLITE COMPANY.

I'LL BAKE A CAKE. I'LL WRITE A SPEECH.

I'LL STAND AROUND AND MAKE SARCASTIC COMMENTS.

KYRA, IT'S A SURPRISE PARTY. SURPRISE ALL OF US BY BEING PLEASANT.

PASS. OH, BUT I'LL CALL DAD.

NO!

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I WILL. OKAY?

I THOUGHT YOU TWO WEREN'T TALKING.

JUST BECAUSE WE'RE NOT TALKING DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T TALK TO HIM.

- SO IT HADN'T GOTTEN ANY BETTER, HUH? - NOPE. THEY'RE WORSE.

SOMETHING'S GOTTA CHANGE.

SO, YOU AND VAN, HUH?

OKAY, OKAY. MY SPEECH IS ALMOST FINISHED.

BUT I'M NOT SURE IF I SHOULD BEGIN WITH A JOKE.

NOT NECESSARY. I'M SURE THE GRAMMAR WILL PROVIDE PLENTY OF LAUGHS.

IT'S A SPEECH, KYRA. IT DOESN'T HAVE GRAMMAR.

IS THE GUY FROM THE SATELLITE COMPANY HERE YET?

NO. THE GIRL CALLED AND SAID HE'D BE HERE BETWEEN 9:00 AND 2:00.

AND SINCE IT'S ALMOST 4:00, I'M STARTING TO UNDERSTAND WHY SHE GIGGLED.

I FINISHED THE CAKE. OH.

"CONGRATULATIONS, VAN, ON YOUR NEW FOOTBALL CONTRACT.

WE ARE ALL VERY PROUD OF"...

YEAH. "YOU."

SATELLITE.

OH.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE BY 2:00.

I'M SORRY, I STARTED A FIRE AT THE LAST HOUSE.

WELL, IT'S TOO LATE NOW.

THE PERSON WE'RE THROWING THE PARTY FOR SHOULD BE HERE ANY MINUTE.

MA'AM, IF I DON'T DO THIS TODAY, YOU'RE GONNA GO TO THE END OF MY LIST.

- WELL, HOW LONG'S YOUR LIST? - I DON'T HAVE A LIST.

OKAY, FINE. BUT HURRY UP.

BOY, YOUR MOM SURE IS A GROUCH.

I KNOW.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, IS EVERYTHING READY?

NOW, REMEMBER, WHEN VAN GETS HERE,

EVERYONE'S GONNA YELL "SURPRISE!" AND THEN I'M GONNA MAKE MY SPEECH.

SURPRISE!

REBA.

- WHAT IS BROCK DOING HERE? - WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?

- YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO INVITE HIM. - I DID.

I DROPPED HIS INVITATION IN THE MAIL ON THE WAY OVER HERE.

I INVITED HIM. UH, IS THIS A PROBLEM?

NO, NO. COME ON IN. VAN'LL BE HERE ANY MINUTE.

BARBRA JEAN. BROCK.

HOW'S THE HOUSE? JUST FINE.

HOW'S THE CONDO? FINE.

HENRY HERE? YES. HE'S WATCHING A VIDEO WITH ELIZABETH UPSTAIRS.

OH. YES.

OKAY. OKAY.

SURPRISE!

AM I THE ONLY ONE EXCITED ABOUT THIS PARTY?

VAN'S GETTING OUT OF HIS CAR.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, COME ON. HERE WE GO.

NICE AND LOUD. THIS IS THE ONE.

- SURPRISE! - CONGRATULATIONS.

GOOD JOB! WHAT'S GOING ON?

OH, A LITTLE CELEBRATION.

NOT THE ONE YOU ASKED FOR LAST NIGHT, BUT A GOOD ONE.

VAN, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.

AND WITH ALL THE WEIRD STUFF THAT'S HAPPENED TO US IN OUR LIFE,

SOMETIMES IT'S HARD FOR ME TO JUST RELAX AND REALIZE THAT LIFE IS GOOD.

BUT IT IS GOOD. AND A BIG PART OF THE REASON THAT IT'S GOOD...

IS BECAUSE OF YOU AND ALL THAT YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED.

YOU ARE MY HERO.

AW.

THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SPEECH, HONEY. NOW YOU SAY SOMETHING, VAN.

COME ON, SAY SOMETHING. I'VE BEEN TRADED TO DENVER!

SURPRISE!

YOU'VE BEEN TRADED TO DENVER? YEAH. I JUST FOUND OUT.

WAIT. SOME GUY FROM DENVER'S GONNA COME LIVE WITH US?

IS THAT THE GUY FROM DENVER?

NO, JAKE. VAN, WHY DID THEY TRADE YOU?

- BECAUSE I'M GOOD. - YOU'RE GOOD, SO THEY GOT RID OF YOU?

NO. I'M GOOD, SO DENVER REALLY WANTED ME.

THEY'RE GIVING UP TWO PLAYERS TO GET ME.

TWO GUYS ARE COMING HERE? EASY. BUDDY, STOP. NOBODY'S COMING HERE.

I COULD MOVE IN IF IT'D MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR YOU.

YOU'D MAKE IT EASIER ON ME IF YOU'D JUST PIPE DOWN AND HOOK UP THAT SATELLITE.

WE'RE GETTING A DISH? AH, SWEET.

I GET TO WATCH TELEMUNDO.

AND WHEN I WANTED TO TRADE KYRA,

EVERYBODY SAID NO.

VAN, WE CAN'T MOVE TO DENVER.

I'VE GOT SCHOOL AND MOM, AND ELIZABETH'S GOT ALL HER FRIENDS.

WE... WE CAN'T MOVE TO DENVER!

NO, IT'S OKAY. I FIGURED IT OUT.

I MOVE TO COLORADO AND FINISH THE SEASON.

- I FLY BACK ON THE OFF DAYS. - YOU FIGURED IT OUT?

HOW COULD YOU HAVE FIGURED IT OUT IF YOU HADN'T EVEN TALKED TO ME FIRST?

- THIS AFFECTS ME TOO! - EASY THERE, BUDDY.

I DON'T THINK HE MEANT HE FIGURED IT OUT.

I THINK HE MEANT HE STARTED TO THINK...

ABOUT HOW YOU AND HE COULD FIGURE IT OUT TOGETHER.

NO. I FIGURED IT OUT.

AND I DID IT BEFORE I TALKED TO YOU BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,

SOMETIMES YOU REACT LIKE THIS.

- REACT LIKE WHAT? - EASY THERE, BUDDY.

- GETTING ALL MAD AND NEGATIVE. - AND THEY'RE OFF!

- OKAY, WHY DON'T WE JUST TAKE A LITTLE BREATHER HERE? - ALL RIGHT.

- NOT YOU. - OKAY.

I'M ALL MAD AND NEGATIVE?

I THINK...

- NO, I DON'T. - IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK, VAN?

THAT I'M ALL MAD AND NEGATIVE...

BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD TEAR OUR FAMILY APART FOR SOME STUPID GAME?

OH, AND THERE IT IS! YOU JUST SAID IT! YOU'RE NOT PROUD OF ME.

YOU ONLY WANTED TO HAVE THIS PARTY BECAUSE YOU LIKE CAKE.

DON'T BE MAD AT HER. EVERYBODY LIKES CAKE.

SORRY, CHEYENNE, FOR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A PLAN TO MAKE THIS ALL WORK.

OH. OH, WELL, NOT TO BE ALL MAD AND NEGATIVE, VAN, BUT YOUR PLAN DOESN'T WORK.

- TELL THEM YOU CAN'T GO. - I'M UNDER CONTRACT. I HAVE TO GO.

- I FORBID IT. - WELL, I UN-FORBID IT.

EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY STOP BEFORE THIS GETS OUT OF HAND! I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.

COME ON. YEAH, THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

OKAY. WHICH ONE YOU WANT?

- I'LL TAKE VAN. - I'LL TAKE CHEYENNE.

OOH, REBA, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE VAN.

AFTER ALL, YOU SLEPT WITH HIM.

AND IT'S A GOOD STORY TOO.

WOW. WHY WOULD YOU GUYS EVEN WANNA WATCH TV?

SHE WON'T TALK. SHE'S STILL MAD.

YEAH, VAN'S SPRINTING DOWN THE STREET.

I MEAN, I COULD'VE CAUGHT HIM, BUT NOT IN THESE SHOES.

ONE HECK OF A SURPRISE PARTY.

WAIT A MINUTE, I SMELL SMOKE.

IT'S OKAY. I'M MAKING TOAST.

MAN, THIS IS A TOUGH ONE FOR THEM TO FIGURE OUT.

ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY RUN AWAY AND WON'T TALK TO EACH OTHER.

YEAH, WELL, THEY'RE KIDS. THEY THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING.

I DON'T KNOW IF HE SHOULD GO OR NOT.

- BUT ALL I'M SAYING IS I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF HE DID. - I DON'T THINK HE SHOULD GO.

- YOU DON'T? WHY? - BECAUSE I THINK IT'D BE STUPID...

IF HE LEFT HIS FAMILY AND MOVED ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

HONEY, DENVER IS NOT ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

I THINK IT'D BE STUPID IF HE LEFT HIS FAMILY AND MOVED ACROSS TOWN.

OH.

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOUR FATHER AND ME IS BETWEEN US.

WHAT ARE YOU, CRAZY? IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT YOU.

IT'S MY CONCERN TOO. AND HENRY'S.

AND I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING ELSE.

MAYBE THE REASON THE KIDS RUN AWAY AND DON'T TALK...

IS THAT'S WHAT WE DO IN THIS FAMILY.

WE RUN AWAY. WE DON'T TALK.

AND NOTHING GETS FIXED.

BUT I HADN'T DONE ANYTHING, RIGHT?

I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF BEING THE ONLY GROWN-UP AROUND THIS PLACE.

♪♪

ICE CREAM!

YEAH, WELL, I THINK I'LL GO GIVE THE ONLY "GROWN-UP" MONEY...

FOR HER RAINBOW POP.

SHE'S QUITE A KID.

YEAH. SHE IS QUITE A KID.

SOUNDS LIKE SHE REALLY WANTS US TO TALK.

YES, IT DOES. DO YOU?

WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT US?

I DON'T KNOW, BARBRA JEAN.

IT'S LIKE THERE IS NO "US" ANYMORE.

I MEAN, ALL THIS SEPARATION HAS DONE IS SEPARATE US.

YOU'RE LIVIN' AT THE HOUSE. I'M OVER AT THE CONDO.

WE DON'T TALK. WE DON'T WORK ON ANYTHING.

- AND NOTHING GETS FIXED. - RIGHT.

MAYBE TALKING IS A FIRST STEP.

MAYBE. I MEAN, THAT'D BE GREAT.

WAS THAT THE ICE-CREAM TRUCK?

I HOPE YOU DIDN'T COME OUT HERE TO TELL ME I WAS WRONG, BECAUSE I WASN'T WRONG.

I CAME OUT HERE TO TELL YOU YOU MISSED THE ICE-CREAM TRUCK.

OH, MAN. THIS IS TURNING INTO A BAD DAY.

ACTUALLY, I CAME OUT HERE TO TELL YOU...

THAT I KNOW THAT THIS IS A REALLY TOUGH THING...

THAT YOU AND CHEYENNE ARE HAVIN' TO DEAL WITH.

- IT'S A REALLY GREAT THING. - THAT YOU AND CHEYENNE HAVE TO DEAL WITH.

SHE JUST... I DON'T KNOW. SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE SHE JUST DOESN'T GET IT.

JUST BECAUSE THEY CALL FOOTBALL A "GAME" DOESN'T MEAN IT'S A GAME.

WELL, IF THEY CALL IT A JOB, NOBODY WOULD WATCH.

I LOVE FOOTBALL. AND I'M REALLY GETTIN' GOOD, MRS. H.

DOESN'T SHE REALIZE THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO ME?

SURE, SHE DOES.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S PROBABLY THE SCARIEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO HER.

HEY, I'M THE ONE WHO HAS TO GO TO A WHOLE NEW TEAM AND PROVE MYSELF.

WHAT'S SCARY ABOUT IT FOR HER?

VAN, HOW MANY DAYS HAVE YOU TWO SPENT APART SINCE YOU STARTED DATING IN HIGH SCHOOL?

I DON'T KNOW. NOT MANY, I GUESS.

SHE DID GO TO THAT CHEERLEADING CAMP ONCE.

BUT THAT DOESN'T COUNT, 'CAUSE I SNUCK OUT AND DROVE UP THERE.

SHE MET ME AT MIDNIGHT DOWN BY THE LAKE. WE...

NOT MANY, I GUESS.

SO YOU BEING GONE A LOT IS PROBABLY VERY SCARY TO HER.

NO, I KNOW THAT. I DO. IT'S JUST... THIS IS MY CAREER.

DO YOU KNOW WHO OWNS THE TEAM IN DENVER?

JOHN ELWAY.

A GUY IN THE HALL OF FAME WANTS ME TO BE ON HIS FOOTBALL TEAM.

- THAT'S FANTASTIC, VAN. - I KNOW. IT SHOULD BE.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE HARDEST PART OF THIS WHOLE "GROWING UP" THING?

NOTHIN', WHEN YOU GOT THE BODY OF A 20-YEAR-OLD.

COULD WE NOT TALK ABOUT YOUR BODY?

NO, THE HARDEST PART IS THAT I'M, LIKE, LIVIN' IN TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS.

I GOT MY FOOTBALL WORLD, WHERE EVERYBODY RESPECTS ME.

AND THEN I GOT MY HOME WORLD, WHERE EVERYBODY DOESN'T.

EVERYBODY RESPECTS YOU AROUND HERE, VAN.

NOT REALLY. BUT SHE SHOULD.

THAT LITTLE SPEECH SHE MADE ABOUT ME BEING HER HERO?

WELL, THAT'S A NICE THING TO SAY IN A SPEECH.

BUT WE DON'T LIVE IN A SPEECH.

WE LIVE IN HOUSTON.

LOOK, YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY COUPLE IN THE WORLD THAT'S GONE THROUGH THIS.

EVERYBODY HAS TO BALANCE THEIR JOB AND THEIR FAMILIES,

BUT YOU HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT TOGETHER.

YEAH, WELL, HOW DO YOU DO THAT?

A VERY SMART LADY ONCE SAID,

"IF YOU RUN AWAY AND YOU DON'T TALK, NOTHIN' GETS FIXED."

YEAH, WELL, I'M GUESSING THAT VERY SMART LADY WAS YOU?

YES.

YES, IT WAS.

WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TELL THAT TO CHEYENNE.

I DID.

I WAITED FOR YOU TO COME UPSTAIRS.

YEAH, WELL, I WAITED FOR YOU TO COME DOWN HERE.

OH. YEAH.

NOW THAT WE KNOW WHERE EACH OTHER WAS.

- LISTEN, CHEYENNE, I KNOW THIS IS A LITTLE SCARY FOR YOU. - YEAH, IT IS, VAN.

- WELL, I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE SCARED. - WELL, FINE.

BUT, VAN, YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT GOING AWAY.

NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT GOING AWAY FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

BECAUSE IN THE LONG RUN, THIS IS THE BEST THING FOR US.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET?

I'M SCARED TOO.

VAN, YOU ARE NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING.

EXCEPT SPIDERS.

THAT WAS A HUGE, MAN-EATING SPIDER.

BUT, YEAH, I'M SCARED ABOUT THIS.

I MEAN, ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS IN FOOTBALL HISTORY...

TRADED TO GET ME ON HIS FOOTBALL TEAM BECAUSE HE THINKS I CAN HELP IT.

WHAT IF I DON'T? WHAT IF HE'S WRONG?

SEE, THIS IS THE PART WHERE YOU TELL ME THAT YOU KNOW I CAN DO IT,

THAT I SHOULDN'T BE SCARED.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO, VAN. I NEED YOU TOO.

OKAY? I NEED YOU HERE WITH ME.

I'M SORRY, CHEYENNE.

ACME!
