I'm going to send Mom to Europe.
She's not that bad, Will.
No, I meant for Mother's Day.
Oh, wow. This tops last year's Hawaii trip, courtesy of you.
I just want her to have the best.
We do, too. It wouldn't have hurt you to collaborate with us on a gift for her.
You guys always wait to the last minute. I don't have that luxury.
We don't always do that. Anyway, wouldn't it be easier to just have one awesome gift for Mom from all of us?
Do you really want me to answer that?
You can be such an ass, sometimes.
Guess who's going to France?
Lance Armstrong?
It's me! Your darling mother!
I know who you are, Mom. But that's fun! So are you and Dad going?
Your dad can't come. You know how he gets about taking long vacations.
But then you'd be on your own. In a foreign country.
I think I'll manage just fine, sweetheart. I've been to plenty of countries abroad without your father.
How long will you be gone?
From the 11th to the 20th. William really went all out.
Yeah. No shit.
Language, Ames.
Sorry. I'll miss you, Mom.
Did you guys hear about Mom?
no. why? is she okay?
I think Ben just meant about Mom's trip to France.
You'll never guess who got it for her.
that asswipe! he always makes us look bad.
I tried to reason with him and he wasn't hearing any of it.
of course not. he's all about showing off how much money he's making over all of us.
In fairness, he is making a shit ton more than all of us combined.
so what? he just got lucky with his startup and now he's a big shot in silicon valley. big fucking woop.
At least we can still celebrate with Mom on the actual day.
Maybe his black heart wasn't so black after all.
that's a very thin silverlining, mr. cardiologist.
I think we should all spend the day with Mom, maybe the whole weekend, to make up for her going for a week and a half.
I'd have to clear my schedule but I think that's doable.
i don't think the band has anything booked for that weekend, so that's a go for me.
Great! We'll make a family weekend of pampering Mom and cooking for her. It'll be just like old times, only better.
You always know how to turn things around, Ames.
you're the best, sunshine.
Are you really not going with Mom?
Hello to you, too, kiddo.
Hi, Dad. You and Mom always went everywhere together.
Except the bathroom.
You guys share one bathroom, so that answer does not hold.
You know what I meant.
Ew, Dad. Gross.
You know what I meant, too, right?
Yes, kiddo. But I think some distance will do us good.
What's that supposed to mean?
I just meant that your mom has been under a lot of stress at work. She could use the time off.
How about you? You said, it would do 'us' good. Is everything okay?
Everything's fine, sweetheart. There's nothing to concern yourself over.
Dad, you just called me sweetheart. You're hiding something.
I have to get back to work. We'll talk later, okay?
Dad, come on!
DAD????
Papa can you hear me?
Ugh. I'm calling Mom.
