All right, the car's just about packed up. Tomorrow we just need to wake up. We

head to Lake Tahoe. The earlier the better. It's really important to get a

spot where ice fishing.

What's a good spot, Dad? It's all the same lake.

No, it's all about port -a -potties, Christine.

Within walking distance and beyond smelling distance.

Jimmy, I got a cold wind portable.

We never have to leave the hut.

Leave me down. You use that. I'm leaving the hut.

Hey, did you guys see a set of keys?

No, I don't think so.

Shoot, I could have sworn I left them right here.

Then my friend Susan's. I told her I'd watch her house while her family was out

of town.

Hey, wait a second. This must be her, right?

Look at that.

She's got an attack whistle and a little can of mate.

Actually, Dad, those are Greg's.

Bud, when I work late, it's a long, dark walk to the car.

I think it's crazy for you to carry all this stuff on a chain.

I mean, a pretty thing like you can just throw her nails along and just scratch

their eyes.

Found him. Never mind.

Couldn't have found those five seconds ago, could you?

Girls, I cannot tell you how much I thank you for signing us up for that

tournament. I mean, Jimmy and I, we've been ice fishing before, but this is the

first time in my whole life that I've ever gone to a tournament father and

Well, we thought it would be nice for you to finally participate in a real

father -son event.

You know how much I love you, but there are some things that dad with daughters

just can't do.

Oh, like what? Drink beer and go to the track?

Nah.

Christina and I have gotten drunk plenty of times.

A couple times at the track.

Well, I think it's good that you can share this fishing trip with Jimmy.

Yeah, that's right.

Jimmy, with you, I could do all these things. You are the son that I never

And you have Greg.

Come on, Don. If you have something to say to me, you don't have to snort and

grunt. Now that you're walking upright, I think you're ready for words.

At least a cave painting.

Normally I would attack you for saying something like that, but you have your

whistle.

Okay, I just have to water the plants, and then we can head to the mall.

Gosh, look at this place.

Man, I got a massage chair, plasma TV, one of those cool CD players.

These people are living in the Sharper Image catalog.

Oh, shut up.

They have a jacuzzi in their living room?

Hey, did you see this talking picture frame?

I was thinking about getting Mom one of these for Christmas.

I love you, Mommy.

Aw, that's so cute.

Mom would love that. Let me see it.

That's weird.

The battery must have died. Nothing's happening.

Let me try.

That's weird.

The battery must have died. Nothing's happening.

Great. I'm sure Susan won't notice her child is saying something different and

now has a voice that's been ravaged by years and years of alcohol and tobacco

abuse.

It was an accident.

Christine, this woman is the president of the PTA. I don't need her telling

everybody I screwed up her house. Sorry.

I have an idea. Just be quiet for a second.

I love you, Mommy.

Oh, that's good.

I love you, Mommy.

Oh, that's good.

I'm just going to go stand outside, yeah?

Thanks for agreeing to let my dad use our bed tonight.

Oh, hey. At least I can do as well and sleep on my bed since he does let me

sleep on you.

What are you watching?

Discovery Channel.

Check out these praying mantises. They do it hanging upside down.

And then when they're done, a female bites the guy's head off.

Fascinating.

You want to try it? Absolutely.

Is your back feeling any better? No, it's worse.

I think we've discovered why you never heard this phrase in the English

language. And they were going at it like praying mantises.

What's wrong with you? I did something to my back. It's totally messed up.

Oh, God. What happened?

Oh, well, Jimmy and I were fooling around last night when he tried to flip

No, no, no, no. We can get him.

So much for ice fishing. I feel like I broke my back.

I'm going to have to spend the whole weekend lying on this couch.

Well, you may have broken your back, but at least you haven't broken your

routine.

Dad is going to be crushed.

He can't go to a father and son fishing tournament by himself.

Don't even think about it.

No. Please, Greg.

Kim, have you noticed how well we get along? The man hates me. Oh, he doesn't

hate you.

Remember that family photo we sent him for Father's Day? He cut me out of it.

Well, it's just because he wanted to fit it in that antique frame. I was in the

middle. He had to cut it twice and tape it together. The floor lamp beside you

made it in the picture, but I didn't.

This trip means so much to him.

And the man had two daughters.

He was always stuck doing girly things with us, like playing dolls.

But his heart was never in it. Yeah, at one of our tea parties, he dozed off

with a cigarette in his hand and melted one of my Barbie's boobs.

Barbie went right on with her life, but...

Ken.

Ken, stop coming around.

Greg, you always said you wanted to have a better relationship with my father. I

do, and I've tried. I've tried everything I know how to do, and nothing

works. Well, try fishing. It's perfect. I mean, he definitely loves fishing more

than he hates you.

I don't even know how to fish. My uncle took me once. I cast my line out, hooked

an owl, and flung him 30 feet into the lake.

Owls don't know how to swim, by the way.

But you can hear their panic hooting two feet underwater.

Craig, the fact that you don't know how to fish makes it even better. He can

teach you, like he would his own son.

I don't know. Look, Greg, Don and I didn't exactly start out as best friends

either. Yeah, well, the first time you guys met, you were naked.

Hiding under his daughter.

Yes, but then that summer, he wanted to build a deck, and I like building

things, so I helped him out, and we did it together, just the two of us, and in

a couple of weeks, we were friends.

I'd like to be the man's friend. Believe me, it would make things easier.

I guess it would just be the two of us up there all weekend.

At some point, we'd have to bond a little.

Give it a try.

Go, Jimmy. We got fish to catch.

Bad news, Don. I hurt my back. I can't go fishing.

What? It's okay, Dad. Greg's going to go with you instead.

What?

Don, I know things haven't always been perfect between us, but I think maybe

Jimmy getting hurt gives us a chance to...

you know, get to know each other a little better. And I know I, for one, am

looking forward to it.

Jimmy, come on. I'll carry you. No, Dad.

Dad, he can't go.

What are you telling me? Either I go with Greg or the trip is off?

Yeah, that's right.

I gotta decide now, huh?

Dad!

Okay, fine, fine.

I'll go with Gregory. Come on, let's go. All right, Don. Let's go throw the gear

in the car and head out for the great American outdoors.

Let's hope the fish are biting and the mosquitoes aren't.

How old is Dominic?

Wow, isn't it beautiful up here in the winter?

I mean, it's spectacular.

Look how the sun glistens off the ice. It's so pristine.

Hey, Emily Dickinson is filling the cooler.

Next to baked beer is the second most important thing on a fishing trip.

Yeah, I like the way you think, buddy. Let's lighten that load a little bit.

What are you doing?

Just throwing you a frosty beer, buddy. It's 1030 in the morning.

You think I'm an alcoholic?

Name? Don Lucky.

And son.

Son -in -law.

In -law.

Whatever. You got your 30 bucks?

I got it, Don. Don't worry about it. I got the entry fee.

The benefit that I get from you paying is offset by my terror that you will

be nude.

Okay, we're in.

Okay, now let's try and stay away from the windows and... Oh, you know what?

Don't touch any picture frames.

Okay, so we got a couple hours before Kim and the kids are back from the park.

Here's the massage chair.

You know, Jimmy, I think, uh...

Sit in this thing for a good hour.

Your back's going to feel so much better.

Jimmy!

Sorry. I look so good, I couldn't resist.

All right.

Damn. Isn't this great?

You know, it's not every day that we get the full run of someone else's house.

Oh, no, wait.

That is every day, isn't it?

Okay, let's get our lines in the water.

If you feel like catching a fish, Greg, I suggest you put on number eight

Aberdeen with a single wax worm.

Don, I don't know what a number eight Aberdeen is.

In the tackle box, top shelf.

Which one's the tackle box?

It's the bait box.

The bait box. The bait box, not quite sure.

Give me the other one.

You know, it's quite a treat to be you taking me fishing and all. My dad never

did that. That's why I don't know any of this stuff.

Yeah, well, maybe better late than never.

Okay.

All right, all you got to do is clamp on one of those sinkers about a foot away

from the hook. You think you can do that? Sure.

That's 50 cents you owe me. Sorry.

That's a dollar.

You know what, Greg?

I don't think the fish are scared enough.

Perhaps you have a cherry bomb you could put down there?

Hermit crabs. You find an empty shell, you crawl right in and make yourselves

home.

Kim, I'm in agony here. Your back hurts that bad, huh? It's excruciating. This

is the only thing that helps.

Sorry. Maybe I overreacted. When I first walked in, I just assumed you were

taking advantage.

I just heard you know a lot of steam rooms out of eucalyptus.

Hey, Kim.

Listen, if you're going to get in the hot tub with us, we got one rule.

What happens at the Weinstein's house?

stays at the Weinstein's house.

Hello, Don. I bet you've got a lot of great stories about fishing.

Yep, yep, yep.

Feel like sharing any of them?

You know what a seven -inch auger is, Rick?

No. Then no.

So it's a nice fishing pole.

Oh, yeah.

It's homemade.

You made it?

No. My grandfather.

He made it when he was a kid.

From a tree near the fishing creek.

He carved the whole thing out and then he welded it on the pole.

Beautiful. No kidding. I bet he was quite a fisherman.

He was the greatest.

He had trophies running up and down the wall.

Ever since I was five years old, I couldn't wait until he came and visited

every month. He would take me out to the ice pond. He told me.

Sounds nice.

One day,

I think I, yeah, it was my birthday. I just turned 16.

So he took me out fishing.

And we were packing up.

And suddenly he turns to me.

He says, Donnie, I want you to have this.

And then he gave it to you.

I said, Grant, I can't take this.

He kept insisting, so I took it.

Two weeks later, he died in his sleep.

Wow.

I think he knew.

It was his way of making sure I remembered him.

Hold this a second.

My back is still killing me.

Why don't you try lying on the floor?

Turn your head all the way to the right.

This isn't any better.

Yeah, I know, but can you see if that earring I lost is under the couch?

My back is killing me, Christine.

I need that hot tub.

It's the only thing that works.

And I'm going over there with or without you.

Well,

I guess I did promise in sickness and in health.

Come on, boys. We're breaking into the neighbor's house.

Isn't that wrong?

Was it wrong when you spilt your juice the other day and didn't tell anyone

about it?

Yes. Okay, so stop judging Mommy and Daddy. Grab your sweater.

But believe it or not, this started out as me cleaning this thing.

You still think we should get you to a doctor? Let me see if you're warming up

here. Touch me one more time, and you're going to a doctor.

It was an accident, Don. I didn't mean to knock you in the hole.

You ruined the whole trip.

Because of you, we only caught one stupid fish. And that was only because

was... Trapped underneath a... It swam into my pants.

Well, I don't know what to say. You've got to be the worst fisherman I've ever

met. It's unbelievable.

You don't know how to function in a man's world.

I knew this trip was going to be a disaster.

I only came because I didn't want to disappoint Kim and Christine. Well, you

think I wanted to come on this trip? Kim had to beg me. And I only went along

with it because I was being nice. I thought it might even help our

But no matter how hard I tried, you know what I get in return? Nothing.

I never asked you for any favors. You've always treated me like crap, and that's

never going to change. And you want to know why? Because you're a jerk, Don.

That's right, a jerk. And I'm tired of pretending that you're not. I spend all

this time worrying whether you like me or not, when it doesn't matter whether

you like me or not, because I don't like you.

You don't like me?

How can you say that?

How can I say that? Don, you make it perfectly clear you don't like me.

So?

I don't like dogs. They still like me.

Well, I'm not a dog.

Geez.

I don't know what to say.

I know I got a rough exterior sometimes, and sometimes I'm a little rough on

you, but I still think you respected me and looked up to me.

Now you're saying you don't even like me.

Are you crying?

No.

Yeah, sure.

I'm just reacting to the cold.

I can't believe it. You're crying.

Stop looking at me.

I didn't know that it meant that much to you, that I didn't like you.

You do care about me. Of course I care about you.

You're married to my daughter.

You're family, all right? You're like... You're like my son.

That's nice.

Hey, Greg.

I ain't that easy to get along with. Oh, neither am I.

You know what would feel good right now?

What?

A hug.

Come on.

Don. What?

What's going on down there?

Boy, what are you doing?

Oh, Jimmy showed me where to hide the key.

Thought I'd give him a soak on.

Wait, the Weinsteins are coming back tonight.

I just came by to make sure everything was straight enough. You have to get out

of there.

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Uh -oh.

What?

My toe's stuck in the jet.

Get it out.

Oh, I can't. Oh, I'm cramping. My leg is cramping.

Oh, my God.

Ow! All right, all right, hold on. Let me see if I can get it loose.
