00:04Cars are washed, gutters are clean.
00:06Great.
00:07Hey, I noticed a couple loose shingles when I was up there.
00:10When's the last time you had your roof done?
00:12Oh, seven, eight years ago.
00:15No, I was still nursing Connor.
00:17God, please tell me that was not seven, eight years ago.
00:21I guess it's been longer than I thought.
00:23I can fix those shingles, get you a couple more years out of them.
00:26I'll give you a hand.
00:27I don't want you up on a ladder.
00:28I ain't gonna fall.
00:30What happened when you were hanging the Christmas lights?
00:32That squirrel startled me.
00:35I'll be ready for him now.
00:38Look what came, my paycheck from the news station.
00:40Wait, how much we talking?
00:42A lot about the money.
00:43It's about people seeing me on TV and being jealous.
00:47It is what I sent you to college for.
00:49I'm proud of you.
00:51I think I'll book myself a spa day to celebrate.
00:54Ain't that expensive?
00:56Yeah, but TV money.
01:00I guess I'll spend my entire money on a new roof.
01:03Or hospital bills when you fall.
01:05I won't let him fall.
01:06I ain't gonna fall.
01:12Nice that Mandy's making a little extra money.
01:14Yeah, I'm blowing through it just as fast.
01:17Are you upset she's treating herself?
01:19We pay the mortgage, buy all the food, and what do we get in return?
01:22She don't even offer to chip in.
01:24You would take her money?
01:26It's the thought that counts, Audrey.
01:29And she never thinks the thought.
01:31You don't know what she thinks.
01:33Well, if you think she thought the thought, keep thinking.
01:36It's their money.
01:37If it doesn't bother Georgie, it shouldn't bother you.
01:41Yeah, I guess you're right.
01:44Did you put in an order for those new ramps?
01:46I did.
01:47Great, you restock the struts?
01:48Yes, sir.
01:49Good, good.
01:50Does it bother you, Mandy, spending all that money on a spa day?
01:52Good, good, good, good.
02:23Why would it bother me?
02:24What bother you?
02:25This here's private family business.
02:28Mandy stepping out on him?
02:30You all saw that coming.
02:33No, she's going to get a massage.
02:35Oh, so she's taking her clothes off and getting rubbed by a total stranger.
02:41I was way off.
02:44It ain't about the massage, it's about her wasting their money.
02:48She comes home relaxed from the spa.
02:50That's a treat for me, too.
02:52He's talking about doing it.
02:57With your little girl.
03:00Are you upset the man is going to the spa?
03:02No, what do I care what my daughter does with her money while she's living under my roof
03:05and eating my food?
03:08So it does bother you?
03:09Yes.
03:10And it bothers you that it doesn't bother me?
03:13Also, yes.
03:16Well, I will try harder to be bothered by it.
03:20Get there by lunch.
03:20I really want to complain about this more.
03:34What's all this?
03:36Breakfast in bed.
03:37A Pop-Tart buffet.
03:39We have brown sugar cinnamon, chocolate, and for the health conscious, strawberry frosted.
03:46That one.
03:47And how would you like that toasted?
03:49Medium?
03:50Excellent choice.
03:53So, when can we hang out again?
03:56Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that.
03:59My building's being fumigated and I was hoping I could stay here for a few days.
04:04Um.
04:05Is that a problem?
04:07It's just, you haven't even met my mom yet.
04:11Then let me meet her.
04:12Um.
04:15Is that a problem?
04:16We haven't been dating that long.
04:19Isn't this all a little quick?
04:20It's fine.
04:21I can crash in the stockroom at work.
04:23I just thought this would be more fun.
04:27I'm more fun than the stockroom at a music store?
04:31It's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.
04:34Well, that's sad.
04:37Just a few days?
04:39That's okay.
04:40Sure.
04:43Just park down the street, coming through the garage, and if you see a blonde woman, pretend you don't speak
04:48English.
04:54There's my girls.
04:56How's it going?
04:57She's asleep, which is good, because she kept knocking down our tower.
05:01How was work?
05:03It was good.
05:04Hey, you want to do something tonight?
05:06What'd you have in mind?
05:07I don't know.
05:09Maybe dinner that we cook for your folks.
05:16Why?
05:18They'd do a lot for us.
05:20It'd be nice to let them know we appreciate it.
05:22What dumb thing did my mom say?
05:24Nothing.
05:25Good.
05:25Your dad said it.
05:28What?
05:29He just feels like we might be taking them for granted.
05:32That's crazy.
05:33You spent all day working on the house.
05:35It was more your half of we.
05:37Well, I didn't do anything.
05:40There you go.
05:49You think I don't do anything around here?
05:52What?
05:55Well, apparently I'm unappreciative.
05:58What did you say to her?
05:59Nothing.
06:01Georgie told me.
06:02Wait, what did you say to her?
06:06Uh...
06:07So you're just complaining about me to everybody?
06:09If you've got something to say, say it.
06:13Fine.
06:14I pay for everything.
06:16I?
06:16If I say we, you're going to be a part of this.
06:19I works.
06:21You know who works?
06:23Me.
06:23Two jobs.
06:24And I'm a mother.
06:25Yeah, and as soon as you get a little money, spa day.
06:28You have a problem with me going to the spa?
06:30I do when everyone is paying for your life.
06:32Okay, Jim, that's enough.
06:34Oh, you don't think she's irresponsible with money?
06:36Of course she is.
06:37You spoiled her rotten.
06:40This is on me now.
06:41All she had to do was bat her eyes and she'd get anything she wanted.
06:45That is not true.
06:49Oh, please, Daddy.
06:51I need ice skates.
06:53All my friends have ice skates.
06:57All my friends did have them.
06:59You used them once.
07:00Well, they stopped being friends with me.
07:03Hey, Cece's trying to nap, so maybe we use our inside voices.
07:07I can't believe you told on me.
07:09Don't get mad at him.
07:10Yeah, you're the one talking crap about your daughter behind her back.
07:13You watch it.
07:14You're on thin ice.
07:15Well, maybe you should buy them ice skates.
07:35That's a lot of food.
07:37I'm a growing boy.
07:39I'm going to die broke.
07:43Here you go.
07:45What's this?
07:46Rent check.
07:49I know what you're doing.
07:51You're making a big show because you think I won't take it.
07:53That's not what I'm doing.
07:54I want you to take it.
07:55No, you don't.
07:56Do I have to bat my eyes at you?
07:58Oh, please, Daddy.
08:00Please take my money.
08:03Watch it or I will.
08:04Go ahead.
08:06I'm going to.
08:07Good?
08:07Good.
08:08Happy?
08:09So happy.
08:10Me too.
08:14Well, I'm happier than you.
08:18I can't believe he took it.
08:19Why?
08:20Well, because he was supposed to say,
08:22Oh, I appreciate it, but I can't take money from my baby girl.
08:27So now you're all,
08:29Why'd he take my money?
08:32What?
08:33I thought we were imitating each other.
08:35Do you want to hear my imitation of you?
08:36No, ma'am.
08:38I didn't ding-dang think so.
08:43I can't believe you took it.
08:44Yeah, I'm as surprised as you are.
08:46I'd have figured you'd cave immediately.
08:49Well, I wanted to, but then I realized maybe some tough love is what she needs right now.
08:53Good for you.
08:54Thanks.
08:55Thanks.
08:55But you can't keep her money.
08:57What?
08:58Why?
08:59If you start taking it, they'll never move out.
09:01Just give it back.
09:02Well, if I do, I won't have made my point.
09:05Do you even know what your point is?
09:08You know, responsibility, work ethic, her generation sucks, that sort of thing.
09:14I'm glad he took it.
09:15We should be paying our own way.
09:17We're poor.
09:18We'd be less poor if we were more careful with our money.
09:22And when you say we, you mean me.
09:24But I said we.
09:28The same way that we take care of CeCe all day and then we work at the diner all night?
09:33This we gets tow truck calls all night.
09:36So you think that we works harder than we?
09:41Fine.
09:42We both work hard.
09:43But only one of us is buying spa days.
09:49And now we know that was a dumb thing for us to say.
09:57What do you want to do today?
10:00Don't you have work?
10:01It's my day off.
10:02I'm all yours.
10:04Great.
10:06Unless you had plans.
10:09I do not.
10:12Cool.
10:13So we can spend the day together.
10:14Yeah.
10:15The whole day.
10:39I can't believe you haven't seen Reality Bites.
10:42I love this movie.
10:44I mostly watch experimental films, but this has been on my list.
10:53So, what'd you think?
10:56Reality certainly does bite.
10:59I know, right?
11:01Well, I'm going to take a shower.
11:04Is there room for two?
11:07Yeah.
11:14Georgie, can I see you a sec?
11:16Yes, sir.
11:20What's up?
11:21There you go.
11:23What's this?
11:24That's money Mandy gave me for rent.
11:26Don't tell her.
11:28I ain't getting in the middle of this.
11:31Besides, I'm glad we're paying you rent.
11:34I respect that.
11:36Now, quit it and take the money.
11:39No.
11:39I ain't no free lord.
11:41Mandy would take the money.
11:42Well, then give it to Mandy.
11:43No.
11:44I'm teaching her a lesson.
11:46By making her think she's paying rent when she ain't?
11:49Raising children is mostly lying.
11:51You'll see.
11:53Thank you, but I ain't taking it.
11:58Hey, you get back here and take this money.
11:59No.
12:00Fine, then I'm giving you a raise.
12:02You can't do that.
12:03Uh, I can and I will.
12:05I'll take a raise.
12:06You ain't getting a raise.
12:08Why's he getting one?
12:10It ain't a real raise.
12:11It's rent money my wife gave him that he's secretly trying to give back to me.
12:14You don't pay rent?
12:15He won't let me.
12:17I've got to marry into a white family.
12:27Is that Whippet?
12:29You need to go.
12:31What?
12:31Why?
12:32I just need you two.
12:34I thought we were having fun.
12:36We were.
12:36Then what the hell?
12:39I'm not good at being around people all the time.
12:44It's exhausting.
12:45I am exhausting.
12:47No.
12:48I am.
12:50Acting normal for this long is hard.
12:53You don't have to act differently around me.
12:55Yes, I do.
12:56Why?
12:57Because I do weird stuff.
13:00Like what?
13:01Like walking around talking to myself.
13:04That's not that weird.
13:05In a language I invented.
13:08Okay.
13:09There's a lot of tongue clicks.
13:12Well, there are things I'm embarrassed about, too.
13:14Not like mine.
13:15You know when I told you my apartment was being fumigated?
13:18Yes.
13:20I lied.
13:21I don't have an apartment.
13:23I've been sleeping on a friend's couch, and she kicked me out.
13:27Oh.
13:29Don't worry.
13:30I'll find somewhere else to crash.
13:32Hold on.
13:33No, it's fine.
13:36Please stay.
13:38Are you sure?
13:40It'll only be for a few days.
13:42I'm sure.
13:44Doesn't weird you out that I'm kind of homeless?
13:47To be honest, if I wasn't my mom's favorite, I'd be homeless, too.
13:57Maybe this weekend we can hit the hardware store, get them shingles fixed.
14:01Absolutely.
14:03Actually, Georgie will not be doing that.
14:05I will not?
14:06You will not.
14:09Why?
14:11Well, because we pay rent now, and renters don't do repairs.
14:14That's the landlord's job.
14:18It's okay.
14:19I don't mind.
14:21I'm on.
14:24Fine, I can do it.
14:25You're gonna hurt yourself.
14:26I ain't gonna hurt myself.
14:27No, he's gonna hurt himself.
14:30Well, I guess he's gonna have to hire someone.
14:34Audrey, how much did this dinner cost?
14:37Because I don't think we should be giving away free food to our tenants.
14:43I am not charging my daughter for food.
14:46How about your son-in-law?
14:48That's a thought.
14:50Hey, I'm trying to help.
14:55You sleep?
14:57No?
14:58Okay, back to the top.
15:01Three little pigs.
15:03There's three of them.
15:03They're little.
15:04Here we go again.
15:05I can read it to her.
15:07No, it's okay.
15:09Okay.
15:12I was just trying to do one nice thing for myself, and it sucks that nobody thinks I deserve it.
15:18You don't have to tell me.
15:19I remember how hard it was raising kids, and I wasn't waiting tables.
15:24Between mealtimes and tantrums and story time and work, I don't get a second alone.
15:31Well, I'm here.
15:33And I'm grateful.
15:35But you're also one of the people I need alone time from.
15:40Is that nice?
15:42Nice?
15:43No.
15:44True?
15:44Yes.
15:45Am I sorry?
15:46Eh.
15:48I know it's thankless and exhausting.
15:52But hopefully someday Cece will appreciate you the way you appreciate me.
15:58Oh, no.
16:08We need to talk.
16:09Oh.
16:12You have to stop giving Mandy a hard time about this spa thing.
16:16It ain't about the spa.
16:17It's about her not appreciating all that we do for her.
16:20The way you didn't appreciate all I did when I was raising our kids?
16:24I raised them, too.
16:26Jim.
16:28Well, I was building a business.
16:30You did?
16:31But you know what I did was harder, right?
16:34Come on.
16:36You got to stay home and play with them all day.
16:38Mm-hmm.
16:39Sure.
16:40Oh, which arm was it you got that flu shot in?
16:42Uh, it was this one.
16:43Why?
16:44Ow!
16:46Stay home and play with them.
16:48What else are you going to do with little kids?
16:50Although you might punch them.
16:53Since it's so easy, why don't you spend the weekend taking care of your granddaughter?
16:58Would love to.
16:59Sounds fun.
16:59Great.
17:00And don't think I'm going to be around to help you.
17:02You are on your own.
17:06Ooh, scary.
17:08Oh, you might want to go to bed soon.
17:10She gets up at five.
17:12Oh, no.
17:21Crack that whip.
17:24Give the past a slip.
17:27Step on a crack.
17:30Break your mama's back.
17:34When a problem comes along, you must whip it.
17:39Oh, come on.
17:40Stop crying, please.
17:42What are you going to do?
17:43These are bananas.
17:44Who cries over bananas?
17:47Uh-oh, good.
17:48Georgie, would you mind taking over?
17:49I can't get her to stop crying.
17:50You try giving her a banana?
17:52Slice.
17:53Must.
17:53I say, come Mr. Tallyman.
17:54Tally me banana.
17:55Nothing.
17:57Sorry.
17:58Got to get up on the roof and fix those shingles.
18:00You'll figure it out.
18:02What do you want?
18:04Ice skates?
18:05Pony?
18:07I'll buy you anything.
18:11Mama Seuss was little, but she was strong.
18:15My guy was pretty big.
18:17You had a guy?
18:20Raul.
18:22No fair.
18:25I want to raul.
18:30It's not too late.
18:32To whip it.
18:33Whip it good.
18:46I want to raul.
18:47I want to raul.
18:47I want to raul.
18:48I want to raul.
18:49I want to raul.
18:52I want to raul.
18:53I want to raul.
18:54I want to raul.
18:54I want to raul.
18:55I want to raul.
18:56I want to raul.
18:57I want to raul.
18:58I want to raul.
