Eddie!

It's noon and you're still

I was up all night makingcomputer versions of our family.

It took me four hours
to get Dad's hair right.

Did you do the laundrylike I asked you?

I said I'd get to it.

Off the computer nowand go do the laundry.

Thanks for letting me borrow
your hammer, Louis.

The hardware store near my
apartment stopped selling them

after all the murders.Mm, no problem, Horace.

Moving into your first apartment
is hard work.

Oh, and I, uh, marked itwith an "H" for "Huang"

so we don't get mixed up.

But "H" is also for "Horace."
And hammer.

But that "H"
is for "Huang."

I'll bring it back
as soon as I'm done decorating my place

the way Iwant to.[ Laughs ]

"Oh, oh, you think the
Elvira poster is too sexy for my room, Mom?

Well, that's too bad,
because it's my place!"

[ Laughs ]

Uh, Elvira?

She's...kind of...hot.Oh. Okay.

You know, my first apartmentwas above a saxophone store.

I used to tell peopleI live on the corner

of Rhythm and Blues.[ Chuckles ]

Until the mailman
told me to stop.

Hey, I should find my old leaseand frame it!

Man, living alone
must be awesome. I can't wait.

When I have my own place,I'm gonna have

a beat-box
answering machine.

"Leave a message
after the..."

[ Beat-boxing ]

"...beat."
Yes!

Living alone is great, man.

I can do whatever I want,
whenever I want.

I haven't felt this free since
I went on Cultural Exchange

to Taiwan when I was 16.

Say what now?

You know, when you go
all over Taiwan

with a bunch of other teenagers
on a bus?

Theysay it's educational,

but the only thing I learned

is how to smooch girls
with a mouth full of tapioca.

But what about
your parents?

The best part about
Cultural Exchange --

no parents.

Hey, is it cool
if I take this?

Thanks, man.
Housewarming gift.

Jessica: Eddie? I said
no more video games.

I need the computer
to instant-message with Honey

while she's on bed rest.

I already have my topics
all picked out.

But Computer Eddie just
ordered bottle service.

Who cares?
He's a pixel blob!

Now, off the computer or no
seeing your friends for a week.

Fine. I'll just play with my"digital friends" instead.

Fine. I'll just pack you
a digital lunch

for school tomorrow
instead.

"Microsoft Sandwich".

Fine. I'll just raidthe freshmen learning garden.

They don't need
that much rosemary.

Okay, you want to use
the computer?

Then you can teach Grandma.
-Whoo!

What?! You know that's way worsethan no computer.

Why can't you just give mea little space?

I would love to give you
a little space,

but parenting you
is a full-time job.

[ Grunts ]

Who designed this house?
The Harlem Globetrotters?

[ Grunts ]Allow me.

There's that famous volleyball
reach I've heard so much about.

Cowboy boots?
When did that start?

A few weeks ago.
You didn't notice?

Oh, of course I did.
[ Chuckles ]

Started a few weeks ago.

Well, I'm worried about him,and it's not just the boots.

He's seemed different lately.

Emery? [ Scoffs ]

No. You could set your watch
by that kid.

I'm sure it's nothing.

He's probably just parting
his hair the opposite way.

He isn't, and I would know.

I'm the one
that does his hair.

You do
your brother's hair?

So? I have the time.

I think he might be goingthrough something

and he doesn't know
how to tell us.

Well, I'm sure, if it's anythingimportant, he would tell me.

We've been
really connecting lately,

ever since our
Chinese New Year tussle.

We even discovered
a mutual love of volleyball.

Since when do you
like volleyball?Since always.

Spatch!
That's a volleyball term.

Okay,if nothing's going on,

explain why I found this
on his desk.

The Cowboy Palace Saloon?

He could've gotten this
anywhere.

Besides, the boy has
a lot of candles.

Louis!

Printer's ink run out.

Tom's chest soaked it up.

I need a new name
for Instant Messenger.

Jessica Huang was taken,

so I have
Jessica-Computer-Name,

Chinese-Barbara-Bush,

or Deidres-A-Poop-6.

Ooh, tough call.
They're all great.

Anyway, Mother,

I was thinking,
and you're right --

how we both need
a little space.

In the words
of Louis Armstrong,

"And I think to myself...

w-what a dope-ass world."

I owe it to myself
to get out there.

Uh-huh.
Which is why

I would likeyour permission to go

on the Cultural Exchange
trip to Taiwan.

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughing continues ]

What are we
laughing about?

You! Going on
a Cultural Exchange!

Wh-What's so funny
about that?

You can't survive
on your own.

I do everythingfor you.

I wake you up for school,

I cook for you,
I do your laundry --

Hey, I did the laundrythis time.

Only because I hounded you
until you did it.

You're like
a little baby bird

who sits in front of
the computer all day

and would die
if his beautiful mother bird

stopped regurgitating worms
into his mouth.

So I'm sorry,
but the answer is no.

Every time I think we've goneand turned a corner,

you go right back to treating melike I'm a baby!

I'm 16 years old.I can look after myself!

I'm
goingon that trip.

Well, I'll call the programand tell them not to accept you.

As long as you live under my
roof, you go by myrules.

Fine. Then maybe it's time Ididn't live under your roof.

Fine!
You know where the door is.

Ooh, Orlando State is selling
a DNA gene sequencer.

That lab fire is the gift
that keeps on giving.

Mm-hmm.
So, uh, Emery,

excited about
volleyball practice?

You know, I was reading
that volleyball

is the number-one sport
amongst nudists.

What's a nudist?Uh, doesn't matter.

Everything good with you,
though?

No, uh, troubles at school
or anywhere else,

like a roadhouse
or a Western-themed speakeasy?

Nope! All good.
You know me, Dad.

[ Chuckles ]

I do, don't I?
[ Chuckles ]

Mr. Volleyball.

Have a good practice, son.

Bye.
[ Chuckles ]

See? I was right.
Emery is fine.

He's just a good,
old-fashioned,

cowboy-boot-wearing,
volleyball-playing,

nudist-ignorant kid.

Uh-huh.

So, have you ever actually
seenhim play or...?

[ Grunts ]

Uh, hi. I'm Louis Huang,Emery's dad.

Who?

Uh, Louis Huang. I runthe steakhouse off I-4.

The one next tothe haunted supermarket.

No, who are you
looking for?

Uh, Emery Huang.

Oh, the Chinese kid.

Yeah, he quit the team
weeks ago.

Sebastian!

Get your hair out of your mouth
and play volleyball!

You need to stop hanging yourbras on the clothesline outside.

A bird made a nest
in one of the cups.

Well, this is it.

I'm really doing it.
I'm really running away.

Okay.

You're letting him leave?

[ Door closes ][ Scoffs ]

Please.
He's gonna get hungry

and be back in here
in 10 minutes.

Then who is that
picking him up?

Worried? I'm thrilled.

A break from being Eddie'sfull-time mom?

I feel like I'm on one of thosefancy white-people cruises

where everybody
gets diarrhea.

[ Scoffs ]

Connie used to do thisall the time.

If she didn't get her way,

she'd run off and spendthe night in a grain silo.

But she always came home.

Trust me.

Eddie is not mature enough tosurvive in the world without me.

He's probably in a grain siloright now,

ruing the day he ever lefthis comfortable bed.

Welcome to Chez Horace.

This is it?
How long have you been here?

Ah, just a few weeks.

It's really startingto come together.

[ Inhales deeply ] Hoo.

Where do you even sleep?

My waterbed.

I made it myself.

Go ahead. Take it for a spin.Eh, no.

Cool.

I'm gonna use you
to solve the puzzle

that has plagued scientists
for centuries --

Was Eddie adopted?

Stop talking
to the gene sequencer

and keep an eye out
for Emery.

Are you gonna confront him?

Just be aware,
he spooks easily.

He almost killed Grandma lasttime she wore a mud mask.

No, I'm not gonna call him out
and risk how far we've come

since Chinese New Year.

Besides, I'm sure he has
a reasonable explanation

for why he quit
the volleyball team.There he is!

And he's...sweaty?[ Car door opens ]

Hey. [ Chuckles ]
Hey.

So, how was practice?

Great. Coach says my spatch gameis really coming together.

Horace, don't take this
the wrong way,

but your apartment blows.
Like, reallyblows.

Like, I can't believe
you left home for this.

What were you thinking?

The truth is,

I didn't move out.

My parents kicked me out.What?

Why didn't you
tell me that before?

I was embarrassed!

And plus I was hopingyou would bring

some luxury items
from your house,

like pillows or lampsor toilet paper.

I've been using a sack of riceas a pillow,

and now my neck
is so jacked up,

I think one of my armsis permanently asleep.

Yeah, that's not good.

I can't go back now,
let my mom win.

Hey, do you want somethingto drink?

I don't have any glasses yet,but I can rinse out

an old bottleof contact lens solution.

gonna turn in.
