[The Donnas' Dirty Denim playing]

-
One more time

- Whoo!
- Whoo!

What are you doing?

Uh, well, certain financial realities

are starting to settle in,

so I am making some serious
lifestyle changes here.

Usually I spend about 300 bucks a pop

on pre-distressed denim,

but I can easily just do
it myself, as you can see.

Wait, you spend $300 on destroyed jeans?

Not destroyed. You know what?

I'm not gonna even explain to you

the subtleties of urban fashion.

And oh, my God.

Are you going to pick up
your son from school,

or are you performing
in a slutty nutcracker?

I don't know what you're...
what does that mean?

If I were trying to look a bit alluring,

would this be a good look, would it?

I know what's going on.

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

I bet it's that frilly teacher of Marcus'

who was all up in your pantaloons

at Marcus' play.

Am I right? Am I right?

- Am I right?
- Oh, God, yes, you're right.

Good for you.

Put it out there, you little strumpet.

I have been putting it out
there ever since we kissed.

You guys have kissed? Eww!

God, you're so annoying.

Why don't you just ask him out?

I can't do that.

I can't ask him out. I'm a girl.

I think it's sexy when a girl asks me out.

It means she's confident.

Well, okay. I can be confident.

- Yeah, you can.
- Yeah, I can...

- I can go for what I want.
- You can go for what you want.

I can exude a luscious, sexual energy

no man can resist.

That is so gross. We are done here.

Here we go.

[Brett Dennen's Comeback
Kid (That's my dog)]

[Cheers and applause]

I'd say if you want to focus
on the other two paragraphs,

probably be a good bet, okay?

- Good job.
- Chris.

- Fiona, hi.
- Hi.

I was wondering if you'd like
to go out with me sometime.

Oh, I...

Oh, no, of course you don't. No, it's fine.

It's fine, it's fine.
Of course, I understand.

Obviously a man, if he
wants to ask a woman out,

he asks her out,

so I'm terribly sorry for putting you

in this awkward position,

and thanks for letting me down gently.

- Good day.
- Fiona.

I have wanted to ask you
out ever since we kissed.

I've been reticent to do
so because I don't want

to overstep my bounds, being
Marcus' teacher and all.

- You did want to ask me out?
- Yes, very, very much.

- Okay.
- Okay.

But since you asked me
out, I'm stepping up.

I'm planning everything.
Are you free tomorrow night?

Tomorrow? Um...

[Cries] Yes, tomorrow.

Are you okay?

No, I just have to go
and see someone about...

this thing keeps happening with my eyes.

It's wet eye syndrome.

I'm sorry.

[Cries]

[Car lock beeps]

[The Cars' Moving in Stereo playing]

Dakota. Hey.

Just giving the old
bimmer a little bath there.

- Yeah.
- Oh, shirt got a little wet.

- Whoopsie.
- I see that.

Fiona's just waiting for me to do yoga,

so, namaste.

Hey, a little bit piece
of trivia crossed my mind.

Your year of abstinence,
that's coming to end

right about now, isn't it?

Not that I had a Google
calendar alert set or anything.

- Yeah, thank you.
- Yeah.

My nomadic year just ended,

and I feel really good about it,

like I finally understand
my true worth as a woman.

That's awesome.

I'd really love to hear more about that.

Do you want to come over tomorrow night?

I want to be wooed, Will.

Well, I'm the master of woo.

You've never even asked
me out on a real date.

- That can't be right.
- That is exactly right.

Okay, well, then fair enough.

Listen, I'm gonna upgrade our booty call

to a woo-Ty call.

What?

I was combining the
booty with... never mind.

Tomorrow night, you are coming over,

and I am going to woo

the crap out of you.

Fine, you get one night.

Stop looking at my butt.

Okay.

- You cried?
- Yeah.

See, I don't understand.

If he said yes, why were you crying?

I don't know.

It's been a long time
since a man looked at me

the way he looks at me
or planned a date for me.

He makes me so nervous,

I'm gonna do something mortifying

and tank this date.

No.

Unless you come with me.

Yeah, that way, you know,

if I'm gonna do something mortifying,

like blubbering, you could stop me.

Of course, of course. When's your date?

- Tomorrow night.
- Pardon the intrusion.

But I just wanted to
give you a little pre-woo

of the woo-nami coming
your way tomor-woo night.

Did you say tomorrow night?

No, I said tomor-woo night.

I'm adding "woo" to stuff.

It's really not that charming at all.

We're all going on a
double date tomorrow night.

Isn't that gonna be so fun?

[Whispering] So fun.

We are not going on a double date.

That beautiful woman
has spent an entire year

coiling herself into a tight spring

of sexual frustration,

and I will be damned
if I let some other dude

bounce her first.

- Reschedule right now.
- No!

Chris has already planned
a beautiful evening.

It's a hike to a picnic.

Oh, a hike a picnic!

All right, look, we're both adults here.

This is ridiculous. We
can coexist on a date.

- We just need ground rules.
- Okay, fine.

If I'm making a move on
Dakota, you stay out of my way.

Got it.

Rule, Don't make fun of my clothes.

Don't comment on my game with Dakota.

Don't make fun of my hair.

Once you're all comfortable with Chris,

you cut Dakota and I loose.

Don't make fun of my jewelry.

Blanket rule, I won't make fun of you.

Okay, good.

Okay, those earrings look
like creepy, tiny, weird hands.

You're basically a vapid walking haircut.

I just had to get that out of my system.

Yeah, me too.

Hey.

Look at this. Better call the booty police.

- Don't.
- Got to say,

this pregnancy, it's really filling you out

in all the right places.

- Hello, Andy.
- Marcus.

Kind of let me get a
little more of that out

than you probably should have.

Yeah, it was uncomfortable for me too.

- What's he doing here?
- Fiona's busy.

So I said Marcus could spend
the evening here with us.

Well, a heads up would be nice.

Ha, it's gonna be great.

- It's been too long, buddy.
- What do you mean?

- I saw you yesterday.
- You did?

When you says "see," he means "see"

in, like, a broader sense,

so like, "I see a vision of world peace."

That's what he means.

No, I mean I saw you yesterday,

'cause you were playing
video games with Will.

Remember?

You kept screaming, "I am
the lord of hand grenades!"

You were supposed to be
minivan shopping yesterday.

I was minivan shopping yesterday.

I was doing research.

Ooh, that was a major DTL, wasn't it?

- Marcus.
- What's a DTL?

Well, DTL is "don't tell Laurie."

Now that I hear it out loud,

DTL itself may be a DTL.

[Sighs]

Was that only five miles?

It seemed a lot shorter.

I saw a couple nice coyotes there.

They looked friendly.

All right, who is ready for some bubbly?

Ooh, me.

Let's see if I remember
how to do this correctly.

One, two...

- There we go.
- Ooh!

Okay.

Do you always drink before you hike?

Only on the special hikes.

- Thank you.
- There we are.

Here's to a perfect date.

- Cheers!
- All: Cheers.

- That is delicious prosecco.
- Care for pro-seconds?

[Both laugh]

Look at that, they're
getting along great, right?

They both have the same
terrible sense of humor.

What do you say we bag the hike

and go do our own romantic thing, right?

You know, leave the two nerds
with their prosecco puns.

Come on, it'll be fun. We
got me, you, the sunset.

I have to check with Fiona, okay?

Will, help me gather some firewood?

So it looks like things are going great.

Yeah, no, I-I think they are.

How about Will and I skip the hike

and give you two some alone time?

Yeah, I think... I
think that would be okay.

And the prosecco is really
taking the edge off my anxiety.

Oh, masking your feelings with alcohol.

- I'm so proud of you. Cheers.
- Great.

Okay. Have a blast!

Okay. Oh, wait.

Just one big thing.

If there's a lull in the conversation,

I'm good to get out the trusty uke, right?

No, you can't uke on a first date.

You can't uke on any date. Promise me.

- I can't promise that.
- Please.

All right, firewood.

Promise me.

Who is ready to get their hike on?

- Actually...
- um, we're gonna...

I'm ready for us... all
four of us to go hiking,

all four of us together.

- Great.
- Okay, okay.

She's got a ukulele in her bag.

- A ukulele, Will!
- So?

She always has a uke.

You just broke the rule.
I was making a move.

What? I'm not ready to be left alone.

My rule trumps your rule.

What are you... we never
talked about trumps.

They're getting away!

Why are you talking about trumping?

Here, and I don't want
to hear any complaining.

I get noodles and no sauce.

I get plain sauce, no noodles.

I can't keep track of what you guys...

honey, do you see what
they're doing right now?

- [Kids whining]
- You know what?

You'll have this one,
and you'll have this one,

and everybody has what they want, right?

Wow, Laurie, you're good with kids.

A real natural.

Why is Andy the one who stays home?

Well, Marcus, Laurie loves her work.

That's why Andy stays at home.

Okay, actually, it's not that simple.

I don't love working 60 hours a week

and never seeing my kids.

But you do love going to a quiet office

every single day,

where everyone wipes themselves.

- I know I would like that.
- It's true.

I once heard Andy tell Will
that letting you have a career

was the toughest decision he ever made.

- This guy.
- Oh, letting me have a career.

Hey...

Did Andy also tell Will

that leaving my children
every day rips my heart out?

The way I'm gonna rip
his heart out right now.

[Laughs]

All right, guys. Careful.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

- Wow.
- All right.

Hey! Dead end.

Let's head back, get some eats.

You know, it doesn't look so bad.

Let me just check this out. Be careful.

- Here, milady.
- Ooh.

- Grab hold. There you go.
- Ooh, thank you.

- He is so chivalrous.
- He's a pun with a stick.

You can hold onto the stick the whole way.

Okay.

I'm gonna go first.

A gentleman always goes first.

- Here you go, man.
- I'm good.

Are you sure?

Those dress shoes don't really look like

they were made for hiking.

I'll have you know these dress shoes

are Italian designer Chukka Boots,

and they are military-inspired, my friend.

Military-in...

[all shout, scream]

[Groans]

This is a bit excessive, don't you think?

- I can walk.
- No need to be a hero, Will.

You know, after university,

I hiked the Great Lakes of kashmir,

and it was wonderful
up until the hookworms,

and they're sneaky little
buggers... hookworms...

because I didn't notice how distended

and bloated my abdomen had become

until you get the painful,
endless, bloody diarrhea...

I'm gonna go use mother
nature's powder room.

- You care to join me?
- No.

Come on, Fiona. Let's go to the bathroom.

- Okay.
- Okay, come on.

Diarrhea?

[Both groan]

I kept thinking, "don't
talk about hookworms.

Don't talk about hookworms," and somehow,

I'm talking about hookworms.

Okay, first dates are tough.

I've found that it helps
just to be super agreeable.

Whatever he says, just go with it.

If he likes eggnog, you like eggnog.

I don't like eggnog.

But you can say you like
it to make Chris feel good.

Isn't that really dishonest?

Oh, honey, no one's honest on a first date.

That's how you get to a second date.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

- Okay, I can do that.
- No, no, but...

- um, Chris.
- Yeah?

- Do you like eggnog?
- Not so much.

Neither do I.

All right, so I read Alex
if you give a mouse a cookie,

and I read Madison if
you give a moose a muffin,

and I finally got Jonah to stop crying.

Something tells me

this isn't the comfortable silence

of two lovers.

When conversation stalls,
me and mom play a game called

"I always wondered,"

and then we take turns
asking each other questions

we always wondered.

Laurie, I always wondered

how you and Andy met.

He was in a pre-law class.

Wow, see? That's interesting.

Andy wanted to be a lawyer.

I didn't know that.

Well, neither did I, but apparently he did.

I didn't want to be a lawyer.

I only took the class

because I had a crush a cute girl in it.

Alison Alpert?

[Groans]

Everybody loved her and
her stupid shiny hair.

It wasn't Alison Alpert.

There was a really smart, adorable brunette

that always gave me a hard time.

You remember her?

Oh.

- It's me, isn't it?
- Yes.

It's you.

It's always been you.

All right, first course,
grilled artichokes.

Or alcachofas, as they say in espa?a.

I hope you like herb
mayonnaise. I make my own.

- I adore mayonnaise.
- Really?

Yeah, isn't that what you
call heart attack cream?

What's that sticking
out of your pocket, Will?

Oh, it's so many condoms.

Very romantic.

Chris, the artichoke looks really good.

Yeah, I picked up the recipe in Barcelona.

I was teacher a group of
homeless kids basketball.

- It's my favorite sport.
- Oh, it's mine too.

- Oh.
- What your favorite team?

You know, my love of the sport
actually transcends teams.

I've always been kind
of a Knicks guy myself.

But, you know, if I had to pick,

I would pick the Knicks.

- Oh, nice.
- Nice.

- Who's your favorite player?
- What color are Dakota's eyes?

- What color is a basketball?
- What's Dakota's last name?

Okay.

Time for my piece de resistance.

I have been curing this

in my oak roasting cabinet for two weeks.

This is Mr. Chris' world-famous

two-week peking duck.

Oh! Bravo.

- Bravo.
- She looks beautiful.

You do like duck, don't you?

- It's my favorite.
- What would you like?

You want a wing or a leg?

Ooh, that's Sophie's choice right there.

Take your time with that one.

So hard to choose a body part

when they're both so scrumptious, isn't it?

You know, let me get my carving knife

while you think about it.

Have you guys ever read

that wonderful children's
book make way for ducklings,

where the mama duck, you know,

leads her baby ducks across the street?

You got to wonder where those
baby ducks are right now.

Probably swimming around a pond,

wondering where their
little mommy quacked off to,

screaming for them.

Mama! Mama, mama!

I can't! I can't!

No!

Oh, God.

How far can a dead duck fly?

Fiona, what are you...

what are you doing? Why
were you sabotaging me?

You have officially destroyed
any chance I had with Dakota.

Oh, no, what will you do? Oh, I know.

You'll just go and shag the
next girl you lay eyes on,

because that's what you do,

and I'm not like you.

This never happens to me, Will.

I really like him.

Well, if you like him,

then why don't you just
be yourself around him?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe it's 'cause I
live next door to someone

who's constantly telling
me how weird and annoying

and repulsive I am.

- Fiona...
- just forget it, Will.

You're not annoying or weird or repulsive.

You're smart, and you're kind,

and you're beautiful.

- What?
- Not to me.

No, I want... I want to be
very clear on this thing.

You know, you are not my
thing on so many levels.

Yeah, no, I get it.

But it's like, you know,

when you see a movie and
you're totally not into it,

but you understand that
it's an awesome movie,

like The English Patient.

You know, I think...

I think you're my English patient,

and I think you deserve
to win all the awards.

I love that film.

Just help me find the
bloody duck, will you?

Okay.

I mean, you have to admit that it is

a really boring movie.

It's hard to get through.

I'm gonna find the
duck. Gonna get the duck.

Chris, I found your duck.

It's got a bit of moss on it,

but you could probably eat around that bit.

Look, there's something clearly going on

between you and your neighbor.

I'm guessing not over me.

It's really none of my business.

- I don't have wet eye syndrome.
- Huh?

The other day when I asked you out,

I said I had wet eye syndrome,

but I don't.

It's not even a real syndrome.

I didn't think so.

I cried because I'm weird.

Also, I don't know
anything about basketball,

and I loathe mayonnaise.

And I don't like duck

or any other meat, for that matter.

But I do like you,

so much so that I brought
my friends with me,

you know, to try and stop me being weird.

That ship sailed.

I'd really just prefer to be myself.

- Oh, no.
- Oh, God.

She's gonna uke.

[Playing joni Mitchell's the circle game]

[Whispering] Fiona. Fiona.

Oh, God, is he going for his car keys?

Yeah, I can't look, but I also...

I can't look away.

- That is so romantic.
- Weird.

- What?
- Nothing.

I love this song. It's like...

so beautiful.

So did you have fun at Andy and Laurie's?

Oh, it was fun.

I mean, a little bit exhausting

keeping that sinking ship afloat.

You know how I always
wish for a bigger family?

- Yeah.
- I'm done with that.

I think you and me is perfect,

you know, just the two of us.

[Phone chimes]

Who's that?

Oh, it's nothing.

[Wolf howls]

What was that?

Oh, that was a house cat.

- I can't do this.
- No, no, no, no, Dakota!

Dakota, please! Please!

The house cat went back inside.

[Bear growls]

Whoa!
