- I still can't believe
this is happening.

- Oh, it's happening.

- I used to love the
Sacramento Children's Theater

when I was a kid.

If only little
theater dork Sarah

knew that one day they
would be putting on her play,

"Unsung Sheroes."

What?

- Usually you say
the full title.

- "A Musical Celebration

of Groundbreaking Women
from Sacagawea to Sotomayor"?

We don't have time for that.

Oh, did I pack Greta Thunberg's
raincoat?

- Yes. It's with
Joan Jett's leather pants

and Jane Fonda's leotard.
- Okay.

Ready?

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
go, go, go, go, go, go.

[laughing]
Okay.

- I'm gonna miss you.
- I'm gonna miss you.

But I'll be back
for Christmas.

Maybe sooner if staying
with my parents

drives me absolutely insane.

- Well, you're welcome
to be here instead

when my parents come visit.

- I'm actually bummed
I'm gonna miss them.

- That's because
they're on their best behaviour

when you're around.

Otherwise,
they never stop arguing.

They are the only people

to get kicked out of
a Jimmy Buffett concert

for literally fighting over
a cheeseburger in paradise.

- Okay.

Do you want me to cancel?

Because if you do,
just say the word and I will.

- No, I'll be fine.

- Okay, great.

Because you know,
I got time off from work

and packing all this stuff
was just a lot.

Aw!

- Oh, we didn't pack
Dolly Parton's wig.

- Oh, that's okay.
I'll just wear it in the car.

Pulling it off?

- Yeah.

[laughter]

[glass clinking]

- Hear me, hear me.

- Actually, it's "ye."

- Who the hell is ye?

- You know, yeah,
just keep going.

- A toast to Tom Hayworth

on making "The New York Times"
Best Seller list.

- Ah, it's not that big a deal.
It's only number nine.

- It is a big deal.

- I know.
It's a huge deal!

Number nine, baby!
Whoo!

I did it!
[all cheer]

It is so strange knowing

how we're gonna
pay the mortgage this month.

What is this odd sensation
that I'm having?

- Could it be
that you're happy?

- Is this what that feels like?

- Hey,
are you around this week?

I could use some backup
with my parents.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
I know they're a handful.

I'm just really busy at work.

- Oh, did you get a design job?

- I wish.
Dumb law stuff at the firm.

I turned down a chance
to design a billiard room.

- Like in "Clue"?

- Yes.
Imagine all the murders.

- Well, you could always
swing by my slice of paradise.

I think your parents are cool.

And Jimmy
is my second-favourite Buffett.

Behind Warren, of course.
- Thanks.

But are you sure?

Now that they're retired,
they have more energy to argue.

- Denise, come on.
We're practically family.

I dated your sister.

I could have been
your brother-in-law.

- You are my brother-in-law.

- Thanks. That's really sweet
of you to say.

I guess there's

bought myself something.

Sorry. Come on.

- I did.
I bought a hot tub.

Always wanted one,
now I got one.

- I'm surprised.

Hot tub doesn't exactly
scream, "Tom."

- Yeah, I know.

But growing up, our next-door
neighbours had a hot tub,

and I was always so jealous
listening to them

soaking in the tub
and popping Frescas.

Always sounded like

they were having such a blast,
you know?

So I think they did a lot
of hardcore drugs.

All right, you want to take
this bad boy out for a spin?

- Hells yeah.

I choose to jacuzz.
- Yeah.

- I'm gonna put on
my bathing suit!

- I'm gonna pop a Fresca!

[Fresca pops]

Oh, boy.

[chuckling]
That's a little spicy.

- Ultimately, it's about
taking responsibility,

about accepting the blame
for your actions.

Until you do that,
you'll always be adrift.

Anyways, that's what I think
"Margaritaville" is about.

both: Mm.

- That's a great
interpretation, Connor.

- It is so nice
to see people your age

getting into real music.

- Yeah.

- Look, look--what are your
thoughts on "Jamaica Mistaica"?

- I think we've covered enough
of Jimmy Buffett's catalogue.

- Can I tell you
the chicken is just amazing?

I have eaten every bite.

- Oh, here, baby.
You can have a piece of mine.

The dating apps.

Kinda like going to a bar,

It's a little chlorine-y,

- Okay, cool.

Water's a little hard, though.
- What? Hard?

- No, I'm just saying we should
probably use a softener.

It's like a pH thing.

Maybe you should just,
you know, enjoy it.

- Totally.

Nothing, nothing.

Didn't really think about what
this'll do to our power bill.
