Mom?

Mom?

Present.

What?

Like when the teacher calls roll call,

you say "present."
Mom is ready, so reportin' to duty.

How come you only have one sock on?

I couldn't find the other one.

You can't go to school like that.

Mom, can Alisa come over Friday
for a sleepover again?

Yeah, if it's okay with her mom, sure.

Sweetie, are we not combing our hair now,

or is this just a new fashion thing
that they got by me?

- I combed it.
- Well,

maybe we have ourselves
a wind tunnel in the house.

Why don't you go back
and comb it again, please?

What kind of mother
will people think I am

if you are a mop-head
and your brother's half sockless?

Alisa said you worry too much
about what other people think.

Excuse me?

Alisa said that?
Now why would she say that?

She's never said that to me.

Well, she must have got it from somebody,
so that leaves Betty.

I've never heard Betty say that.

I know she doesn't like me.

- What are you talking about?
- I get a feelin'.

Betty adores you, Candy.

You think she'd be trusting you
to look after our kids if she--

The feeling you're getting
is just her usual

depression stuff.

Yeah, how is that goin'?

Well, much better, actually.

This Marriage Encounter
was really a miracle.

What exactly do they do there?

Well, mostly get us to talk about
our feelings and--

Well, they're big into
writing everything down in a notebook.

Sounds a little silly.

I know. That's what we thought at first,
too, but it--

it really works.

For the first time
in I don't know how long

we were

unflinchingly honest with each other.

Exactly how unflinchingly honest
could you be, Allan?

Well, except for that.

And it was an issue for me.

Betty would bring up sex
and my lack of interest.

And I'd go quiet.

I couldn't exactly say
I was less interested in sex

because I was having it
with Candy Montgomery.

We finally opened up to each other.

Well, that's good.

I'm glad. So...

where does that leave us?

Well, it doesn't necessarily
change the way I feel about you.

But I do feel strongly

that I should be
giving my full resources to my family.

And my relationship with you
is taking away

some of my emotional availability and

energy and attention
that I could be directing towards

Betty and the kids.

So you don't wanna see me anymore?

I don't know. Yeah.

They said an awful lot of things
at the Encounter but

they never said you couldn't

see someone else.

Allan, you seem to be leaving it up to me,
so I'm just deciding.

I'm not gonna call.
I'm not gonna try to see you.

I won't bother you anymore.

Okay.

Ok-- Wow.

Well, you certainly unleashed
your feelings there.

Well, I'm not sure
how you want me to respond.

Do you remember what you told me?

That the days you spent with me
at the Como,

that they were the only hours
of your week where

you didn't feel responsible
for other people's emotions.

Meaning Betty.
The burden of making her happy.

The burden of keeping her
from being miserable.

Now,

have you ever

felt any responsibility for my emotions?

Do you now?

Candy...

Yeah.

Okay.

You realize that every time
you feel a hole,

you paint the kitchen?

That's not true.

Okay, fine.
Maybe it's a little true,

but also, you know, it is good therapy.

- Well, it looks really good.
- Thank you.

I keep saying
that we should start our own business.

There's a lot of people in Wylie
that are looking to remake their lives,

and some of which would settle
for a spiffier breakfast nook.

You know, it's not even like
I'm gonna miss the sex.

It's the friendship.

Allan's been like my best friend.

Hello?
What about me?

I just wish I could talk like that
with Pat.

Okay, I'm serious.

Why don't we start our own business?

At a minimum, it'll get us out
into other people's kitchens.

That's where the real life
happens anyway, right? Kitchens?

God, I'm feelin' angry.

I don't necessarily want him but

I don't like feeling rejected.

You're gonna have to put that
in the fridge, honey, for it to keep.

Or the garage.

- The garage is nice and cool.
- Why does it have to stay cool?

The weather this warm,
I'm afraid it'll rot,

and we still have two whole weeks
before Halloween.

I think it's just a benign fibrous mass.

You can't possibly know that.
Not for sure.

Betty, this is likely harmless.

How dare you be impatient with me.

It could be cancer.

I don't think it is.

But you can't know that!

I actually can know it.

It's my business to know it.

And the mammogram confirms it.

So it's nothing?

It's a mass, yes.
But it's benign.

You should stop taking birth control

and also control your caffeine intake.

It could be from drinking too much coffee?

Betty, you're fine.

Honey, I'm just saying

that you were Luke Skywalker last year,

and there are other characters
in "Star Wars."

No, he wears a mask
for the other characters.

He gets claustrophobia.

- You puked in your Batman mask!
- Hey.

- No, I didn't!
- Alright! Okay!

Jenny! Wait your turn!

Okay!

Thank you.
Thank you.

- Wait up!
- Ian, stop following me!

- Hello?
-Hey!

Candy?

Sorry. I know I promised that,
that I wouldn't call,

but this is just for some advice.

I'm sorry. Bad manners.

How are you?

I'm good.
Good. How are you?

You don't sound great.

Well, I said good, not great.

What's the matter?

Betty found a lump in her right breast.

She's fine. At least that's what
the doctors are telling her.

She's already been to two.

I'm sure she's looking for a third.

They think it's benign,
but she's a wreck.

Well, I should go over there.
Is she home now?

She is, but you don't have to.

No, I should go check on her.
If it were me--

You're a good friend, Candy.

- Betty.
- Hi!

Hi. I just heard

and I know in my heart

that you're fine.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You have nothin' to worry about.

- I hope you're right.
- Hey, now, you listen to me.

Doctors are so scared today
about bein' sued

that if you go to them
with a growth of any kind,

the last thing they're gonna do is say,
"Go home, it's nothin',"

unless they are
pretty damn sure it's nothin'.

I am sure that you're right.

How did you find out?

Allan told me.

- Allan did?
- Yeah, he was concerned.

You know how worried husbands can get.

Oh, wait.
No, I got that wrong.

Husbands never worry enough.

That's it.

Well, you didn't have to drive
all the way down here.

But I cannot tell you how much
it means to me that you did.

These doctors, they think
I am the biggest hypochondriac!

They tell me it's nothing,
convince me it's all in my head,

then write me prescriptions
for anxiety and depression,

of which I'm on a gazillion.

- Hi, honey!
- Hi.

Can you believe
Candy drove all the way down here?

She is just the sweetest.

- You feeling better?
- Yes.

Yes. She helped lasso my runaway brain.

Look at us making you stand out here.

- Come in, come in.
- Oh, no! No, no, no.

I gotta get back and make dinner.
It's Meatball Tuesday.

This is just one of those hug-and-runs,
now that I see that you're fine.

- And you are.
- Yes.

Walk Candy to her car.

- Sure.
- Would you, sweetheart?

Thank you again.

So much.

And let's get the kids together

for some trick-or-treating.

Sure, yeah. Perfect. I'll call you!

Okay.

That is not the same person.

You're saying Marriage Encounter did that?

I'm telling you,
she's like a flower blossoming.

Yeah, and she was actually warm.

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to--

Yes, you did.

But it's alright.
You're not wrong.

- But now, she's--
- Just like a normal person.

Hey, do you think that Pat and I
should get into Marriage Encounter?

'Cause that's actually why
I called earlier.

- Well, I'm not sure.
- Well, I gotta try somethin'.

He doesn't know how to communicate.

The thing is Marriage Encounter
is definitely not for couples

who are having serious problems.

From what you told me
about your feelings for Pat--

I do love him.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

But it really--
It worked for you.

So far.

So far, it's really worked.

She insists on doing
the homework every night.

The dialog sessions, the love letters.

She wants to become
a group leader in the area.

Very committed.

- Well, that's good.
- But thank you for checking on her.

Yeah. It was good to see you.

Good to see you, too. Alright.

My pleasure.

You're all very special people.

Thank you. We're coming back.

Oh, well, in that case,
I'll double our insurance.

-Thanks for everything.
- Yes. Wonderful.

So long.

Well, what's your prediction?

Oh, definite marriage.

Think they'll have children?

Whether they want to or not.

Hey.

I was watching that.

Yes, I can see
that you were watching that.

I bet you'd love to be a passenger on
The Love Boat,

wouldn't you, Pat?

Well, guess what?
So would I.

I feel like I'm in trouble.

I don't know why.

I wanna go to Marriage Encounter.

What?

It's not just the Garlingtons.
Allan and Betty.

Betty, I mean,
she's just like a whole new person.

It's a cult though, Candy.

It's not a cult!

And even if it is--

Why are we here, Pat?

And I don't mean on the sofa.
I mean

on Earth.

- Yeah.
- Why are we here?

That's a huge question, Candy.

And I'd like an answer.
Your answer.

Well, I mean

why is a tree here?

What?

You know how I hate you answering
my questions with questions.

- Yeah, I have--
- Why is a tree here?

- Seriously?
- Look, Candy.

I'm not going to have this

cosmic grasp

that you're looking for, I think, but

a tree, it grows its roots.

It sprouts fruit.

The fruit spreads its seeds,
and then more trees grow,

and it goes on and on like that.

And I don't think we're much different,
you know?

We grow our roots.
We raise our kids.

I think that's a good reason to be here.

Or anywhere.

Well, what's your answer?

Why are you here?

I don't know.

You know

you always want more.

You do, Candy.
Whatever you have,

- you always want more.
- Yes, I do.

I do want more.

And I'm not gonna apologize for it.

I want more from me.
From you. From us.

You want to go to Marriage Encounter?

Okay. Let's go.

So he has agreed,
and we're gonna just give it a try.

- This is great.
- Well, you know, it's hopeful,

and every day should have a sprinkle
of hope in it, so.

You should put that
in one of your Sunday parables.

"Every day should have
a sprinkle of hope."

That is lovely.

And you know what else?

And this could be the best part of all.

Just that Pat is willing to try,

I don't find myself
thinking of Allan as much.

And when I do,
the first thing that comes to my mind

is that his eyes are too close together.

That's what I've been sayin'.

Here's my new mantra.

It's called, "rediscover me."

With my marriage, with our new business.

And I thought of the perfect name already.

The Covergirls.

- The Covergirls.
- It's what we do, right?

I paint, you wallpaper.
The Covergirls.

I love it.
"We got you covered."

Yes.

And thank you,
Sherry girl, for covering me.

So that's 10 windows, and price per.

Plus saving time on construction, right?

Don Crowder!
Church grounds on a weekday?

My, my, whose wrath
have you doth incurred?

Just my normal pillar
and beacon of the community stuff.

Trying to figure out
some budget challenges.

Yeah, buildings and maintenance.
That's why I'm here.

Let's see.

What's this?

Now, if you're serious about
sprucing up the parsonage,

Sherry Cleckler
and I have started

a new little boutique
home improvement business.

It's mostly paint and polish,

but it's good work at
a price you won't beat.

Thank you.

I'll certainly consider it.

And references upon request.

Well, how would you have references
if you just started?

Why, Ron, I make 'em up.

I'll leave you to your pillaring
and beaconing.

You wanna get in tighter
with the congregation,

straightest line might be
Candy Montgomery.

Folks love her.

Yeah. Meaning they don't love me.

Ron, a little friendly advice.

Here at Lucas,

people just wanna raise their kids,

love their family, love God.

Doesn't call for heavy lifting
on your part.

Just don't be a dick.

Okay.

Is that a moose?

Yep.

- Should we go check in?
- Okay.

When you give yourself,
and I mean give all of yourselves,

I'm gonna make it real simple.

When you give,

you beget.

Let's say it all together, shall we?

When you give, you beget.

Well done.

And look inside.
How does that make you feel?

Pat?

Should I read yours first?

- Okay. Yeah. Yes.
- Okay.

-"When I think of you--"
- Now, I'm a mathematician,

not a writer. So.

Okay.

"When I think of you,
I feel the earth move."

That is so sweet.

"I feel it under my feet."

Pat.

"I feel the sky tumbling down."

Pat, this is a Carole King song.

She's one of your favorites.

Honey, I told you I'm not a writer.

- Oh, my God!
- They're good words.

No, but they're not your words!

Words are not my thing!

I love you more than I could ever express.

More than I could ever write down
in some stupid notebook,

at some stupid cult workshop.

I went with Carole King

because you said
she always wrote close to your heart,

and that's where I wanna be.

Close to your heart.

Why couldn't you have put that down?
That was really beautiful.

It was?

Yes.

I wanna be close to your heart, too.

Why are we here, Candy?

I don't mean on Earth,
I mean at this place,

and

I...

I don't know what you're looking for.

Do you know what you're looking for?

The song "Tapestry" by Carole King.

I've listened to it a zillion times,

and I still have no idea what it's about,
but it speaks to me just the same.

"My life has been a tapestry
of rich and royal hue.

A wondrous woven magic."

Now, I haven't a clue
what she's talkin' about--

but I want it.

Yeah, I want it. I want

my royal hue.

Oh, honey.

Pat.

I'm not saying
that it wasn't a little goofy

but, you know, we did connect.

That's fantastic.

Yeah. And we've fallen off
with the assignments.

There's the daily 10-and-10 and so forth.

What's the daily 10-and-10?

Well, you pick a topic,
and you write about it for 10 minutes,

and then you spend another
10 minutes talking about it.

We did do that for about three days.

But overall, you know,
our sex life has definitely improved.

And I hardly ever think about

you-know-who's perfectly shaped penis.

- Well, this is all very positive.
- Yeah, I think so.

Sorry.

- Hello?
-Candy. Betty Gore.

Betty, hi! How are you?

I'm fine.

And I'm told that you are.
Marriage Encounter went well?

I think it did, yes.

That is so good.

You know I'm the local Flame leader.

I think I heard that.

Yes, that's fantastic.

Yeah. One of my duties

is I host other couples

who have been Encountered and,

well, I would love to have
you and Pat over on Saturday.

She wants me to come to dinner.

No.

And you said yes?

Well, I felt on the spot.

Well, it's this Saturday?

Yep. What are we gonna do?

I guess it'll be fine.

Will it be a problem for you?

I don't know. It might be.

To see you in that context
might be painful and

I don't know.
What if I start wanting you again?

I'm so sorry, Candy. I feel so guilty
for messing up your life like this.

No, no. You didn't. Maybe--

Maybe this is just
the best way for us to move on.

Because Betty and I, we should be friends

and maybe this will be
kinda like a good closure.

Yeah. Good. Okay, good. Good.

It'll be great. I think it'll be fine.

The best part is the capsule
will be reusable.

So, I mean,
you think of all the wasted technology--

- What a waste.
- Such a waste.

- This looks delicious.
- So delicious.

You know, pot roast is my favorite.

Well, I did know.

Allan let the cat out of the bag.

It didn't take you two scientists long

to start talking about
rocket ships and so forth.

No, but actually, we were talking about
something new called the space shuttle.

Which is a capsule
which can be used for repeated travel.

What did you say, Pat?
A couple of years?

1981. Yeah.

Pretty soon,
it'll be easier to go to the moon and Mars

than to get in and out of Dallas.

So, you two enjoyed,
you enjoyed the Encounter.

Yeah.

You been keeping up with your 10-and-10?

Well, we're trying.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah.

Well, that's wonderful.
Isn't that wonderful?

It's wonderful. Yeah.

Yeah.

Candy, I heard about you
and Sherry Cleckler

are talking about a

rediscovering yourself.
A kind of a "rediscover you."

- Wait, did I hear that correctly?
- Yes, you did.

And what does that entail?

Well, Sherry and I are
starting a business together.

Home improvement.

And then, I'm still taking
my writers' workshop classes.

I'm actually moving on
to an advanced level.

That's wonderful.

Some kind of wonderful.

You know

sometimes,
the best way to rediscover yourself is to

look inside you.

Deep inside.

That makes sense.

We all have stuff

buried deep within.

Things we never knew were there.

Yep.

Wonderful.

My God, you must have been dyin' inside!

- A little, but mostly, I was just bored.
- Bored?

At a couples dinner with your lover,
his wife, and your husband?

He is not my lover anymore.

And you know what?
The best part is I was bored with him.

Allan.

I thought that it would be hard to see him
or that old feelings would bubble up,

but nothin'. It's over.

And Betty, love her to death,
but she's a little weird.

You're just now figurin' that out?

But she's also nice.
You know, she's odd because she's odd,

not because she's mean
or unkind or uncaring.

And I'll tell you somethin' else.

I think she's way more interesting
than Allan.

Why does she have to go to some lake
to study the Bible?

- She could just study it here.
- Yep.

Yeah, we have a lot of Bibles.

Maybe she's really going fishing.

Nope.

No, she's definitely studying.

Your mother is taking some special time

to further her commitment to our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

And I'm very proud of her.

I think you guys
should be proud of her, too.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Okay.

It's time for us to pray, right?

- Can we talk after?
- Yeah. Yeah, you can talk after.

Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

And if I die before I wake,
I pray to God my soul to take.

- Hey, Pat.
- Hey.

Can I talk to you for a sec?

It's important.

Sure.

You can just let that dry.

- Hey. Yeah. Sorry.
- Hi. It's okay.

Alright.

So

I found a love letter
from Allan Gore to Candy.

I was looking for a letter
she'd written me just after we married

and found a different letter.

I need to know something.
I know she would tell you.

Is it over?

- Pat--
- Is it over?

It is.

And it won't happen again.

It was just a brief thing and, honestly,

it was more friendship than anything.

It was just a stage
that Candy went through.

We were just over at their house
not long ago.

- The Gores, all four of us--
- She told me, and you know what she said?

She said the best part about that night
was that she felt nothin' for Allan.

That it's over-over.

Pat.

She really loves you.

Candy is a good mother,
and she's a good wife,

and she is a good friend to you.

She just made a mistake.

And it was just a brief thing
and it didn't mean anything.

And it's totally over?

It's been over for a long time.

I wanna talk to Candy about this
in my own way.

I don't want you to tell her
that I talked to you.

- Promise me I can talk to her first.
- I promise.

I promise.

- Mommy!
- Hey.

- Hey, baby! Hi!
- Hey, Mom!

Hi! Oh, my gosh, you grew!

I thought we had a deal.
No growing when I'm gone.

- Hey! Hi!
- Hey, Mom.

- Good trip?
- Oh, yeah.

Yeah, we learned so much.

I better not be hearing that you grew,
too, young lady.

Hello?

It's me.

- Don't change your expression.
- What?

Pat found Allan's letter.

What?

He found one of Allan's love letters,
and he came by the salon this morning

to make sure
that the affair's really over.

And he made me promise
not to tell you that he knows.

So, this is me
not telling you that he knows.

Well, I'll call you later, okay?

-Okay. I'm so sorry.
- Okay. Bye.

Everything alright?

Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, it's good.

I think I should start fixin' dinner.

And since I have been gone,
it is kids' choice.

- Chef Boyardee!
- Chef Boyardee!

That is my best work.
Straight out of a can.

Raise your hand if you love
Chef Boyardee's.

I do.

Chef Boiardi is the French version
of Chef Boyardee.

Come on! Come on!

Now, Travis, let him tell his story
the way he wants to.

But, Mama, I just seen that old yeller dog
catch this fish!

Arliss is just a little boy
with a big imagination.

Won't hurt him to let him use it.

We keep that old yeller dog much longer,

it's gonna make Arliss
the biggest liar in Texas!

I know I failed you.

I tried to write down
how I feel in a letter.

I'm gonna go downstairs while you read it.

Come down whenever you feel like it.

- Take it, Tom!
- No.

...it just stands right up.
It's American--

I agree, agree! It felt--

You read the book? Right?
Did you read the book?

Yes, I read the book.

Okay, then you read
the Folk Singers' Credo.

I am so ashamed.

I don't ever wanna hurt you or the kids.

I know.

Maybe we could get away together.
South Padre Island for a bit.

Just you and me.
Could make it like a

second honeymoon.

That would be nice.

I trust you'll agree that the added
expenditure is well worth it.

They really are the most beautiful
rose-colored cushions I've ever seen, Ron.

They really do make a wonderful statement.

We'll have the best pews in the county.

Now, if we could just find
some folks to fill 'em.

Maybe we should just invite
Jackie Ponder back

to give a guest sermon.

That would fill the seats, wouldn't it?

I think you're being a little sensitive, Ron.

No! I'm not.

He's feeling sensitive
about the attrition.

Maybe if we can get the Gores back,
and the Garlingtons.

Y'all are friends with the Gores, right?

No, not so much. No.
Just our kids play together.

You and Allan
are in the same line of work.

We don't need the Gores.

Pryor remained in critical
but stable condition today

at the Sherman Oaks Community Hospital
in California.

Pryor continues his steady improvement.

Surgery to remove scorched dead skin
could begin next Tuesday,

with skin grafting
starting three or four days later.

Honestly, Pat, can we not have that on?

- He was doing drugs, they say. Cocaine.
- Well, even so,

this is a day of celebration.

We shouldn't be hearin' talk of comedians
lightin' themselves on fire.

Dad, did you take my elephant puppet?

- Why would I do that?
- He's missing.

And Noah's ark has to have an elephant.

We'll find him, honey.
Now, can you please just eat your cereal?

And a cleaner shirt will be nice.
Could somebody call the girls?

- Why are you using that voice?
- What voice?

Your stressed voice.

This is my zillion-things-to-do voice.

We have Bible camp graduation,

I have to do my parable,
we have the puppet show,

and then I have five different errands
to run in five different towns.

Hey! No, you don't.

- Three Trees?
- What?

Your parable.
Are you going with Three Trees?

Well, yeah.
Do you think I shouldn't?

No, well, it's my favorite.

Kids'll love it.

Mom, can Alisa go to the movies
with us tonight?

I don't know, honey.
Alisa's mom didn't like it

when we took her to see "Grease."

But she loves "Star Wars."
She wouldn't mind.

She would want me to go.

Oh, sweetheart.

Now, that was just
the most adorable little fib,

but if it is okay with your mom,

we would love to have you.

Pat, are you sure you can't make
the puppet show?

'Cause I saw the rehearsal
and it's gonna be great.

- I wish.
- Okay.

Doesn't that serve you perfectly right?

You can't come back here first?

My flight's at 4:00, honey.
So, with Friday traffic,

I think I probably need to leave
for the airport.

Best to just go straight from the office.

- Just two days, honey. Two days.
- Yes.

Two days can go more quickly
for some than for others.

Then, I'm home, and

we're packing for Switzerland
and we're going to have the best time.

I'm almost two weeks late.

I can't take care of another baby.
I'll break.

- I don't wanna be pregnant again.
- Honey, there's no reason to start--

No, please don't--

Do not handle me. I beg you. Just...

be with me.

Honey, I am. I am with you.

If you are,

we'll deal with it.

We can deal with anything.

Right? We can.

We can.

You wanna say bye?

Bye, Dada. Bye, Daddy. Bye.

Bye, Dada.

"Once upon a time,
there were three trees high up on a hill.

"The biggest tree
used to say to the others,

"'When I grow up,
I want to be made into a big boat.

"The finest ocean liner in the world.'

"But, one day, a group of wood cutters

"came to the hill of the three trees.

"And one of them looked
at the biggest tree and said,

"'This tree looks like it would make
a fine fishing boat.'

"And the big tree cried and cried,

"but the wood cutters cut it down anyway,

"and it became the very boat

that Peter used as his altar
to spread the good news."

Isn't this a wonderful time we're having?

- Yeah!
- Yes?

Hey, Barbara. Let me help you.
I can get the Kool-Aid.

It is gonna be a scorcher today.

Oh, my God,
I just wanna drop and put my feet up.

- Do you ever do that, Candy?
- Well, it won't be today.

The kids all wanna see
the new "Star Wars."

And Jenny wants Alisa
to stay over another night,

which is fine,
but Alisa has her swim lesson today,

so that means I have to drive
all the way to Wylie

to pick up her swimsuit.

I suppose if I do leave soon enough,
then I can swing by the Target

- to get a Father's Day card for Pat.
- Oh my-- Go.

Go. I can do this.

And you better get a move on

if you're gonna make it back
in time for the puppet show.

And I can't miss that.

- Ian made the elephant.
- Bail.

- Hey. Listen to Miss Barbara, okay?
- Okay. Bye, Mom.

Hi!

Hi.

Candy!
I finished with your cassette recorder.

Okay, well, I'll be right back.

I just need to run over to
Betty Gore's and then to Target.

Gotcha. Bye.

Yeah. See you.

Candy.

Sorry. Why call when you can
barge right in, right?

I hope I didn't disturb.

No. No, no, no.
No, I just put the--

put the baby down
and then poured myself a cup of coffee,

getting ready to watch
a little "Phil Donahue."

Sounds like heaven.

- Come in. Join me.
- Okay.

Well, I can't stay long.

Noah's ark is leaving port
within the hour.

But the reason I came is
we're seeing "Star Wars" tonight,

and Alisa wants to come,

and Jenny's just
desperate for her to join.

And I said it was okay with me
if it was okay with you.

Which is to mean
her spending another night.

And I'm happy to take her
to her swim lesson to save you the trip.

No, sure.
That's fine with me.

Well, I thought it would be,

so I just came from Bible school
to pick up her suit.

- You sure you can't stay for coffee?
- No, no. Thank you.

Remember, she doesn't like to
put her face underwater. Alisa.

So, if she does put her face underwater,

be sure to give her
peppermints afterwards.

That's the reward that we have.

- Okay!
- Okay.

I'm just so busy
getting ready for our trip.

- Switzerland! I heard!
- Kansas first.

We're gonna drop the kids and the dogs off
at my parents.

- Dogs?
- Yes.

We got another one.
A puppy, six months old.

He's right out there.

- Oh, my God!
- I know.

What is his name?

- Cheeto.
- Cheeto!

Oh, my gosh.
Your name is Cheeto. Hi.

Alisa can't bear to leave him alone.

Well, I can see why.
You're just the sweetest little boy!

You're a good boy! Yes, you are!

Come, come.
Just sit for a second.

Okay.

- Okay, outside. Outside. Good job.
- Oh, my goodness.

- Nothing?
- No. Thanks.

Well.

Gonna be a scorcher today.

Scorcher.

I almost forgot.
Sherry and I actually incorporated.

We're lining jobs up for the fall,

so if you need any papering
or painting done, here is our card.

The Covergirls.

- It's cute.
- It's so exciting.

Well, I should probably get goin'.

I'm hopin' to swing by Target
and get a Father's Day card for Pat,

so should I just go grab Alisa's suit or--

Candy.

Are you having an affair with Allan?

No.

No, of course not.

But you did.

Didn't you?

Didn't you?

Yes.

But it was a long time ago.

Did Allan tell you?

Can you wait a minute?

Betty?

Betty.
