Hey, Mom, what's for breakfast?

Eggs, and I suppose I could make you pancakes if you want.

Eggs are good enough.

Eggs are good?

Yeah, not too bad.

How many do you want?

I'll take two.

Two, that's good.

Yeah, it's kind of a lot for eight.

You used to eat four.

Just two.

Things change, you know.

Well, did you sleep good?

Yeah.

Good.

What are you all dressed up for?

What are you talking about?

I mean, you're wearing high heels and... Well, Kenny, you know that your father's coming home after being gone for quite some time.

What's he gonna do?

He's been away from us for a long time and...

It's, um, how do I explain this?

It's a special time between us that we're going to have this afternoon while you're at school.

Adult time.

And so I thought I would just, you know, surprise him with a little something.

I don't know.

It's kind of inappropriate for me to explain it to you.

Yeah.

But, you know, I'm sure you can imagine.

I'm sure you don't want to imagine your parents, but that's basically what we're going to be doing anyway, so...

Speaking of surprises, you ever check dad's text messages?

I mean, him and his secretary?

What are you talking about?

I mean, they're always together.

Whenever he's in town, he's always on the phone with her.

You don't notice that?

She's an executive secretary.

He's a very busy man.

So he has lots of... She takes care of a lot of stuff for him.

Say that again.

Oh, gosh.

Look, I... He hasn't been home in months.

Can you just please try to get along with him, please?

I mean...

He's your father.

He loves you.

I know you feel abandoned because he's gone a lot, but that's his job.

We have to accept it.

It's just the way it is.

Easy for you to say.

Oh, God.

Kenny, really.

I mean, you have a good life.

You have it really good.

You've got a nice home.

You've got lots of friends.

You've got a very loving, supportive mother.

I'm here for you all the time.

I know, you know, you wish your dad was there more, and you'd probably resent him, but...

Well, you know, I don't know what to tell you.

He's working as hard as he can to provide for us.

That's the way it is.

It doesn't always seem that way, though.

I don't know.

I don't know.

But he does mean the best, and that's all there is to it.

So... Oh, these eggs are looking good.

I think you should have had more than two, though.

I don't think this is going to be enough.

Are you making them stiff for me?

I'm making them nice and stiff for you, just the way you like them, yep.

Oh my goodness, this robe.

Last time they were a little runny.

Sorry, this robe keeps sliding open.

It's silky, satiny, whatever.

I don't know.

It's just... Where is... Where's that other spatula that we had, that nice one that I bought?

I think it might be down there by the coffee maker.

Great, you might want to put those away.

Oh my gosh, I'm sorry.

Sorry, honey.

All right.

Like I said, this robe is slippery.

Oh, yeah.

Just pretend you didn't see that, okay?

Sure.

Do you resent the fact that I dressed up like this for your dad?

It seems like you do.

Oh, I don't know.

All I know is I don't need this kind of pressure.

Because I'm very nervous about seeing your dad.

I haven't seen him in two months.

And I just... I just want you two to get along, okay?
