I love pinball.

Ah. You never played?

Oh, no, sir. Our pastor always said,

"Only churches should
have that many bells."

- [LAUGHS]
- What the hell?

Hey, hey, Mikey, look at,
look at this. Come here.

I bought this for the
game room at my house,

and they delivered it here by mistake.

- Great story. Get rid of it.
- No, no, no.

I'll get rid of it in a few days,
but, but try it, it's fun.

Yeah, so much fun. I
only want to be paid

- in quarters from now on.
- [CHUCKLES]

Not interested.

Okay, so you weren't into pinball.

It's not for everybody. Only for those

who aren't afraid to
live a little, yeah?

All right. Move aside, I'm just
gonna show you this one time.

All right. Go ahead.

[MIKE SIGHS]

Oh, he knows where the money goes.

I think we got a ringer.

[MACHINE BEEPS AND JANGLES]

[GAME BUZZES]

Oh, you have to use the flippers, Mr. B.

- [GAME BUZZES]
- Let me have your tie.

Okay.

What's that about... tie?

[GAME WHIRRING]

Uh, this isn't golf.

Low score does not win.

All right? [CLEARS THROAT] So...

[INHALES DEEPLY]

[EXHALES]

No cussword way.

I believe...

that would be a free game.

Now get the cussword back to work.

[LAUGHS]

Thanks for coming grocery
shopping with me, Jen.

I know it's a chore.

Not at all. At first,

I was put off by all the ridiculously

oversized product at the store,

but then I found this.

God bless America.

Ooh, good, you guys went shopping.

Kyle and I are gonna need
this at the new apartment.

No. You can't take all of them.

I'll leave you one. [CHUCKLES]

Hey. Uh, if you're here
to steal toilet paper,

I already got it.

Uh... no. Kris is
stealing ink cartridges,

and I'm just the sexy getaway driver.

Uh, hey, guys. Look at this.

Looks like someone wrote a poem
and left it in the printer.

"To my little bird,

"About to fly the nest into the night,

Our time is precious, like
a piece of tanzanite."

Interesting.

Hmm. It's certainly lyrical.

The rhyme scheme's a little forced,

but I guess I'm just a
free verse kind of guy.

Wha... What's tanzanite?

Uh, a gemstone.

It was in the earrings Mom
gave me for Christmas.

Oh, my gosh.

Mom wrote me a poem

because I'm moving out next week.

Hmm. When you moved out, all you got

was a box of pancake mix

- and a can of bug spray.
- Shh.

Hey, hey. Uh, parents care for
their kids in different ways.

Some get meaningful words,

others get flapjacks
and a can of poison.

Big deal. Okay? I don't care. [CHUCKLES]

I mean, I only gave Mom
her first grandchild.

That should merit a poem, right?

"My darling Kristin, how the light... "

No. Not from you. N...

You-you know what? I'm just
gonna up my daughter game

and earn myself a poem.

Okay. Good luck.

It'll be hard to compete
with this little bird.

- Tweet, tweet.
- Hmm.

"My darling Kristin,

"One-upped by her sister,

Abandoned in the foyer of life."

We've been trying for an hour to
duplicate that pinball trick,

and I'm starting to
think it's not a trick.

It's not.

Listen.

There was a time that pinball,
literally, was my life.

- You were that good, huh?
- I wasn't good.

I was... I was the best.

Huh. Well...

Kids from other schools
would drive to Ann Arbor

just to take me down.

Takes a lot to make a
man drive to Ann Arbor.

I didn't go to class, I didn't go out.

It was an obsession, man,

you know, and every time I turned,

there was some twitchy-fingered kid

just looking to find me and go,

"Hey, I hear you're the one to beat."

Wow.

You were like Clint Eastwood, right?

In every Clint Eastwood movie.

There got to be a point
where I was hoping

- that I'd get beat, you know?
- Yeah.

Somebody to take the target off my back.

But God was right there saying to me,

"I only made one of you, Baxter."

That's a hell of a story, Mike.

Yes. Don't worry, I'll get
rid of the machine tomorrow.

- Don't worry.
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]

- Yeah.
- Oh, hey.

Uh, Kyle was looking for you.

Oh. Thanks, Chuck. Don't
worry about that.

- Thanks, man.
- Yep.

I hear you're the guy to beat.

[VOCALIZING]

- What are you doing here? You're cooking?
- Oh.

Oh, yeah. Just throwing

a little somethin' somethin'
together for Mom.

- Oh, chicken Bellagio?
- Mm.

You're just, uh, throwing
together Mom's favorite meal?

Oh, yeah, that's right.

Now that you mention it,
I do seem to recall

that she loves it.

Is it love, Kris?

I mean, it's not like
she's written it a poem.

Hey.

- Mom, hi.
- Hi.

Uh, wait, no. You know what?

Let's keep your coat on. I'm
gonna take you to dinner.

No, no, no, no, no, no.
No. I made-I made dinner.

- Yeah, just sit down and...
- You? Oh. Oh, okay.

- and I'll get you a glass of wine.
- Okay.

Sit down!

Wow, wow, look at all this
attention I'm getting.

- I-I feel so special.
- Yeah.

You are so special. Get away from her.

[CHUCKLES] Hey. Hold on.
You guys found my poem.

- Mm-hmm.
- Uh, yes.

And I would love to hear it
performed by the author.

Oh, really? You don't think
that would be kind of weird?

- No.
- Yes.

Yeah. You-you go ahead and read it, Mom.

[CRYING]: I'll try to keep it together.

[SIGHS] Okay. [CLEARS THROAT]

Oh, gosh. I'm actually kind of nervous.

Uh, Jen!

[CHUCKLES]: Um, uh, Jen?

Uh, that's not how the poem starts.

[MOUTH FULL]: Yes, Vanessa?

I'd like to read a poem I wrote for you.

Wait, what?

Yeah. I hope when you're
back in Hong Kong,

you will read this and-and think of me.

Oh, I'm going to cry.

Want some flapjacks now, Mandy?

"So, farewell, little bird.

"I hope you know you will be missed.

"You'll forever shine,

like purple amethyst."

That is the sweetest
poem I've ever heard.

I want to frame it.

Oh. [CHUCKLES]

Well, we can use one of Mike's.

He won't notice one less
picture of him and John Elway.

- [CHUCKLES]
- What are you grinning at?

You. I know that there are
26 letters in the alphabet,

but all I see are "N," "V."

Okay, I fell a lot farther than you.

Um. I had everything,
then I had nothing.

You had nothing,

then a little s-sideways shuffle,

and then still nothing.

Okay, starting to share your resentment.

We need to win Mom back.

[WHINING]: How?

What if we treat her

to a spa weekend at the Abbott-Berry?

Okay. I am all for winning Mom back,

but can't we find some
place a little bit cheaper

than the Abbott-Berry?

I mean, I don't want
to have to tell Boyd

that he's going to community college.

This is no time to pinch
pennies. We are at war.

Our mother's love has been
stolen by a foreign power.

It's collusion.

I... Oh, I, uh, I just need a pen.

Jen wants me to autograph the
poem before we frame it.

- Aw.
- That is so sweet.

- Yeah.
- Um, unrelated,

uh, so Kris and I were just
talking, and we realized

that we haven't been spending
enough time with you lately.

- Oh. Yeah, it bothers me, too.
- KRISTIN: Yeah.

- Yeah. So why don't you pack your bags?
- Yeah.

Because we are stealing you away

for a weekend at the Abbott-Berry.

[GASPS] What? Really? The
Abbott-Berry? [CHUCKLES]

Unless that's too glitzy.

You know, there are a lot
of other great spas.

- Are you kidding? No.
- I mean, you know what I mean?

- I love this. I love this.
- Okay, then. Yeah, sure.

Oh, I have the best
daughters in the world.

[KISSING NOISES] Oh. The Abbott-Berry!

I'm gonna head down and have some lunch.

What are you gonna have... chicken?

Oh, that's right.

You don't eat your own kind.

I'm not playing you in pinball.

Why is this so important to you?

I'll tell you why.

Because I was great, man.

'Cause I was great.

It was 1986, the annual
pinball tournament

at Flippo's Arcade in Minneapolis.

[CHUCKLES]

This was the year I was
gonna take home the crown.

Was there actually a crown?

It was a baseball cap with boobs on it.

It was a different time.

I was in the final

against Petey "Pinball" Johnson.

Wha... Are you familiar with
the Captain and Tennille game?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Uh, electro-mechanical,

- double flippers.
- Yes.

You got a free game if you could, uh,

spell "Muskrat Love."

I was on it.

All rollovers and spinners,

- not a single outlane.
- Yeah.

And then, out of nowhere...

... the fire alarm.

Someone had pulled it.

"Pinball" Johnson.

We had to evacuate.

I had to forfeit.

He stole my...

He stole my boob hat.

[EXHALES] This is sad on so many levels.

I need this, Baxter.

Yeah... I'll play you one game.

- Yes.
- But it won't matter,

- you're still gonna lose.
- [SCOFFS]

Hey, you've never played against
Chucky "The Greek" Larabee.

Who was in charge of nicknames
up there in Minneapolis?

MANDY: Great.

Thank you. We will see
you in a couple hours.

Ah. We are all set.

- You, me and Mom in the deluxe suite.
- [SIGHS]

We are gonna sea-salt-scrub that Jen

right out of our mother's heart.

Hey, guys.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Oh, are you going somewhere?

Uh, yeah. We are taking our
mom to the Abbott-Berry

for an expensive spa weekend.

It's fine. Boyd can just
go to community college.

Uh, it'll just be us Baxters, though,

but-but you'll have Dad and your poem.

Mm.

Hope you understand.

Of course. There's
nothing more important

than the time a girl gets
to spend with her mom.

Oh, we know. Don't think we don't.

It's important to build memories,

because some day that's all you'll have.

I know, because...

well, you know, my mom is dead.

- No...
- [GROANING]

Enjoy this time, you guys.

Oh, all set. [GIGGLES]

I am so excited. Yeah.

I have the most loving, generous,

best daughters in the world.

[SIGHS]

Just... just get in the car.

Oh.

We should just come clean
to Mom and turn around.

Uh, sure. Yeah. We'll just say
we broke the orphan's heart.

We have to do something.

Okay? The guilt is killing me.

Let's just put it out of our
minds. We can get through

the weekend, and we'll make it
up to Jen when we get back.

Hmm. Don't take this the wrong
way, but it is a lot easier

- for you to put things out of your mind.
- [FAKE LAUGHS]

So, it's okay.

- Ooh.
- I got road trip snacks.

- Ah.
- I am pretty sure

there's not a
naturally-occurring substance

- in any of this.
- Mmm. Mmm.

Just what I need... something
else to eat away at me.

Uh-uh, no, no, no, this
is a guilt-free trip.

You hear that, Kris? Guilt-free.

- Mm.
- Now let's go.

Oh, you know what? Um, before we go,

guys, I-I just want to clear the air.

- Hmm.
- I know why you girls are doing this.

- You do?
- I do, yeah. I do.

It's because lately

I haven't made the effort to
be present in your lives.

- [CHUCKLES] Actually, Mom...
- No.

Don't interrupt her. Maybe
that's why she abandoned us.

[LAUGHS] No, I don't...

I don't think I abandoned you,
but... but I have been busy,

and I haven't been connecting with you

as much as I would like to.

Well, you're forgiven, Mom.

[SIGHS] What a beautiful word.

- "Forgiven."
- Hmm.

Uh, it's not just you, Mom.

I mean... we have lives, too.

I-I'm a newlywed and an
up-and-coming fashion designer.

- Mm-hmm.
- I have a new apartment.

And Kris... has that kid.

Well, you know, that's why
Kristin understands this.

- Mm. Mm-hmm.
- Look, the worst thing

a mother can do is to disappear
from her child's life.

ED: All right,

listen up, everybody. One game.

Three balls each. High score wins.

All betting is forbidden, all right?

But your bets will be
paid after the match.

All right, Mike, you're up.

Ready to do this, Greek?

- Let's dance.
- All right.

Oh, geez.

Are you all right, Kyle?

No, I-I'm a nervous wreck.

I mean, you, the man who's
like a father to me,

playing Chuck, who's
an employee of the man

who's like a father to me.

Just relax. It'll be
over before you know it.

[DINGING, WARBLING]

[DINGING AND CLACKING]

[DINGING AND CLACKING]

[DINGING AND CLACKING]

Hey, uh, hey, Greek,

you notice the score?
You're still behind.

[DINGING AND CLACKING]

Stay out of my kitchen, Baxter.

This is how we do it in the 612.

Nice try.

There's nothing you can say to
make Minneapolis sound badass.

[FIRE ALARM RINGING]

What the hell is that?

It's the fire alarm.

Oh, hell no.

- [DINGING]
- Fiddlesticks, everybody.

What a shame, but-but safety first.

Everybody out, everybody out, come on.

Just finish up, finish up.
Keep going, keep...

But I'm the head of security.

- The store is on fire.
- Unless it's a false alarm.

[DINGING CONTINUES]

I've got a lot of lettuce
riding on you, Mike.

Huh? I thought you were a cinch to win.

Thanks, Baxter. I couldn't
have done it without you.

- Done what?
- Win.

[DINGING]

Yes! [CHUCKLES]

- Sorry, Ed.
- That's all right.

I'm out 45 bucks.

- Congratulations.
- Ah.

Don't have a boob hat for you,
but you know what you do get?

What?

A bunch of twitchy-fingered kids

just wondering how good you really are.

- Aw, man.
- There you go, guys.

The guy to beat.

Ah. [CHUCKLES]

Okay.

Yeah. [LAUGHS]

Uh, Baxter? Damn it.

Et tu, sister?

Jen-Jen!

Our little bird!

[MOUTH FULL]: I don't
know what's happening,

but I love it.

Ah. The girls excluded you

from our weekend because
they were jealous

of all the attention I give you.

Isn't that awful?

You don't look like
you think it's awful.

Oh! No, it's terrible.

[GIGGLES]

Oh, they were just being petty.

Okay, look, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. It's just, my
daughters haven't competed

for my affection since 2004. [LAUGHS]

A mother remembers.

Well, I'm-I'm sorry that
we were so selfish, Jen.

We're honored to share
our mother with you.

Thanks, because Vanessa is the
second-best mom in the world.

[SIGHS]: Yeah.

Well, I mean, you've...

you never told us much about your mom.

Well, I lost her when
I was a little girl,

and I don't like to make people

- feel uncomfortable.
- Mm.

Oh. It doesn't make us
feel uncomfortable.

I mean, it totally did at
first, but-but not now.

We would love to hear about her

if you would like to share.

Well, my mom was a very elegant woman.

- Very fashionable.
- Mm.

For her birthday one year, I
bought her this beautiful scarf.

Oh, that's so sweet.

Not really. It turns out
she was allergic to wool.

She broke out in huge hives.

One above her lip,

- [LAUGHING]: another above her eye.
- No.

[LAUGHS]

She looked like that, uh, uh...

Who's that sailor who's angry
who eats all the spinach?

- VANESSA: Oh, um...
- Popeye?

- Mm.
- Yes! [LAUGHS]

[VANESSA LAUGHS]

But she refused to take off the scarf

because it was from her little girl.

[CHUCKLES]

I still remember her
saying, "No, I love it."

[LAUGHTER]

VANESSA: Yeah.

Those were her last words.

[GASPS] Oh, no.

I'm kidding.

Oh! [LAUGHS]

Well, your mom sounds amazing, Jen.

She was. Thank you for asking about her.

We-we would love to hear more about her.

And you can tell us at the Abbott-Berry.

- Go pack, because you're coming with us.
- [KRISTIN LAUGHS]

- VANESSA: Mm.
- Are you sure?

I heard that place is very expensive.

Oh, it's my treat.

- [PHONE RINGING]
- Ooh. Wonder who this is.

- Oh, hey, it's Eve!
- Don't pick up! Do not pick up!

Hey, Mike Baxter here for Outdoor Man.

My good buddy Billy Shakespeare wrote,

"Some are born great,
some achieve greatness,

and some have greatness
thrust upon them."

Yeah, London in the swingin' 1590s.

You could... you could still

thrust your greatness
upon people. [CHUCKLES]

Yeah, it was a different time.

But no matter how an all-time
great reaches the top,

they all face the same question.

When is the right time
to pass on the crown?

John Elway and Peyton Manning
timed it pretty good.

They both won championships
and rode off into the sunset.

- [HOOFBEATS]
- Hyah! Hyah! Come on now!

[CHUCKLES] No pressure, Flacco.

[LAUGHS]

[IMITATES INHALING, EXHALING]

But they were the exceptions.

Usually we get Willie Mays
flopping around in center field

for the Mets like a grouper on a dock.

Or the great Muhammad Ali
losing to Trevor Berbick.

Trevor Berbick?

Sounds like a digestive problem.

Hell, even my buddy Billy
Shakespeare hung on too long.

You ever seen a great production
of Two Noble Kinsmen?

No.

You don't want to limp out like a lamb.

You want to still be
roaring like a lion,

just not a Detroit Lion.

And while it may be hard
to know when to walk away

from the thing that made you great,

it's never the right time
to be finished as a person.

Life is a gift. Every day is a gift.

That's why they call it the "present."

And what you owe in return
for it is to keep growing,

keep learning, and keep getting better.

And call your mom!

Baxter out.
