Kyra, you made straight A's
on your report card.

Honey, that's great!

Why didn't you tell me?

I guess 'cause nothing I do
seems like big news

with Cheyenne and Van around.

I'm lucky if I can
get a sentence out before--

[Cheyenne] Oh, my God!

Huge news! Huge news!

Exhibit "A."

Guess who got named
All-City Football Player of the Year!

Kyra Hart, for her
straight "A" report card?

- No.
- No, I did! Me! Van!

- Congratulations!
- Oh, thanks, Mrs. H.

Hey, there's gonna be a big awards banquet
Saturday night. Can you come?

Boy, I don't know. Hmm.

Well, lookee there.

I'm free every Saturday night
till the end of time.

That's great!

You know, this award just confirms
what I've always known.

- You are so on your way to the NFL.
- Yeah.

You've got muscles and talent--

And a beautiful trophy wife.

[Cheyenne] Aww.

That is what I was gonna say.

You know, I always dreamed
about winning Player of the Year

and standing there
and thanking my parents.

Now they're gonna miss it.

Serves them right
after the way they've treated you.

Yeah. Let them read about it in the paper.

Paper? We're gonna be in the paper?

I'd better go pick out an outfit.

Hey, guys, there's more good news!

Let it go, Mom.

I am not gonna let it go.
Kyra, you made straight A's.

Hey, how about we have
a big family dinner to celebrate?

I'd rather have cash.

[Cheyenne] Hey, Van.

We need to choose
between Bradley or Lamaze.

Well, Bradley if it's a boy,
but I don't know about Lamaze.

No. No, no, I'm talking about
childbirth classes.

Look at this one.

You can actually have a baby underwater.

You know, whales do that.

Is that a slam?

- Hey, Reba.
- Hmm.

Hey, Player of the Year, huh?

I wrote down a few things you could say
about your favorite coach.

Great. Now, who's my favorite coach?

Send Jake and Kyra down, will ya?

Oh, Kyra's goin' to a slumber party.

- It's just you and Jake tonight.
- No Kyra?

Well, hey, maybe
I'll finally win at poker.

You know, it's a shame
the Montgomerys won't be there

for Van's banquet.

Such a big day.

His parents should be there.
I know he misses 'em.

Yeah, I guess sometimes

it's hard to stop lovin' people,
even when they treat you like crap.

It gets easier with practice.

- Hey, Dad.
- Hey, cowboy!

Listen. B.J.'s visitin' her mom,
so it's just us men tonight.

Cool!

Maybe you men can eat somethin'

that doesn't come
with fries and a toy this time.

Hey, that's not all I feed him.

On Mondays, I have buffalo wings
and a Shirley Temple.

That's only durin' football season.

Excuse me.

Is Sue Montgomery in your class?

Are you kidding? She's in every class.

Okay. I'll just warm up then.

Well, hello to you too.

Sue.

- Sue Montgomery. What a surprise.
- [chuckles]

Reba Hart. [chuckles]

I didn't know you worked out.

Me?

Oh, I've been workin' out here for years.

Really? Six months ago,
this was a Mexican restaurant.

Ever try liftin' those burritos?

So, did you hear that Van was named
Player of the Year?

- My Vanny's Player of the Year?
- Yes, he is.

[gasps] And the awards banquet
is Saturday night.

I know it'd make him really happy
if his parents were there.

Oh, I... I wish I could go,

but I'm afraid I can't.

Well, sure you can.
You just get in the car and go.

People in worse shape than you
do it every day.

Reba, we are trying to send Van a message

that we do not approve of his marriage.

Oh, he got the message
when you threw him out.

But he's still your son.

Though I don't totally understand it,
he misses you.

I miss him too.

But I'm afraid his father
has made up his mind.

So, what's the deal,
you two sharin' one brain?

Your son is Player of the Year.

You should be there.

One, two, three, four.

If I could be any animal,

I believe I'd be an octopus.

Yuck! Why?

Well, because then I'd have
eight arms to tickle you with.

[chuckles] That's funny.

Eh, I'm glad you think so.

Your mom never seemed
to care for that one.

What's the matter? Aren't you hungry?

You made it wrong.

[chuckles]

I believe I know how to make
a grilled cheese sandwich.

No, you don't.

Call Mom.

Come on, Jake. Just try it.

Open the hangar, here comes the plane.

[imitates plane sound]

Dad, I'm seven.

Okay. Well, if you won't eat it, I will.

I'm serious. Here I go.

I'm almost eating.
Chewing's about to begin.

Mmm!

I believe I'm gonna eat the whole thing.

Want milk?

Hey, which makes me sound more honored,

"I'm honored today,"
or "Today, I'm honored"?

Is that the photographer
from The Chronicle?

Van, how do I look?

Oh, I'm not gettin'
into that rat's nest again.

So, how'd everything go
with you and Jake last night?

Great.

We really connect.

It's not all about
grilled cheese sandwiches, you know.

Although, I must say,
I... I do make a pretty good one.

Say, listen.

What do you think his favorite
grilled cheese ingredient is?

Well, I don't know, Brock.

There's the bread and there's the cheese.

Pretty much a dead heat.

Long as you cut the crust off, he's happy.

Of course.

You gotta cut the crust off!

The coach from SMU
is glomming all over Van!

I think they're gonna
offer him a scholarship.

Oh, I am so proud of you! [chuckles]

I'm proud of you too, Vanny.

Mom?

You're here! I can't believe it.

Well, I wouldn't miss this for anything.

- I'm so glad you came.
- Oh, honey.

What is she doing here?

Oh, I might have mentioned it
the other day when I ran into her.

Where would you've run into Van's mom?

[chuckles] At my Pilates class.

Mom, she is not a nice person.

Oh, honey, I know. But she's his mother.

There's a strong maternal bond
that even years

of selfishness and exercise can't undo.

Does Dad know you're here?

He got pretty upset
when I told him I was coming,

but I laid down the law.

I said, "Dan, I'm going to the gym."

You go, girl.

I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you.

Yeah, thanks, Mrs. H.

[mockingly] Yeah, thanks, Mrs. H.

I can't say enough how honored I am...

by this honor.

When I think of all the other players
you could have honored,

I am truly, deeply...

honored.

I also want to say thanks
to Coach and Mrs. Hart.

But most of all,

I want to thank a very
special woman in my life.

Someone who has always been there for me.

My mom.

That's not what I wrote.

[mouthing]

Can you believe this?
Look who's on Van's arm.

Is it his trophy wife?

No, it's his mother.

So, you're not in one picture.

Honey, you're about to have a baby,

and there's gonna be
a lot of other pictures...

that you're not in.

No, it's not just about the picture.

Last night was supposed to be
my big night.

I thought it was supposed
to be Van's big night.

The point is she ruined it.

I still can't believe
that you invited her.

Cheyenne, at least
she's making an effort now.

I think it's good for Van.

I wish they'd spend more time together.

[knock at door]

Hello.

Mom, next time wish for a pony.

What are you doing here?

Well, it was so nice
seeing Vanny last night

that I thought I'd like
to see him off to school.

Well, you're just in time.
Have you had breakfast?

Not in five years. [chuckles]

But look at you, Reba.
What a marvel you are.

Busily cooking for your children.

Well, I tried skipping it,
but they chew on the furniture.

Oh, that delightful small-town humor.

It's charming. I'm serious, though.

You put your children's lives
ahead of your own,

and that is impressive.

Thank you.

There's no man in your life.

You don't try to look good.
It is all about the kids.

Here, Sue. Why don't you
put something in your mouth?

Did you see the picture in the paper?

Oh, yeah.

You know, it's true what they say
about the camera adding ten pounds.

- Mommy!
- Vanny!

Shoot me!

Honey, are you wearing plaid to school?

Because, you know,
you look so much cuter in solids.

I'll go change.

Van, that's your favorite shirt.

Mom says I look cuter in solids.

My sweet, little Kyra.

Hair so long.

So very, very long.

Mom, make it stop.

All righty, then. It's getting late.

Time to go to school.
Don't want you to miss the bus.

- Bye-bye, honey.
- Bye, Mom.

- Have a good day at school. Bye.
- Bye, Mom.

Mmm. Oh, yes. This is so quaint.

- Bye, Mrs. H.
- Bye, darlin'.

- Bye, Mom.
- Bye, son.

Oh! Here we go. Zip!

- [chuckles]
- I could've done that.

Okay. What's next?

Well, the door's still open.

Oh! [chuckles]

Well, you know, I thought
I'd just hang out here with you

until Van gets home.

In eight hours.

Sure. What do we do while
our children are at school?

Well, today I have to pay bills,
vacuum the stairs,

and make 18 name tags
for Jake's Cub Scout den.

Oh, that sounds great.

I would love to watch you do all that.

Just let me know if you get tired.

I hope you're hungry.

- Nope.
- What? No, Jake. Look!

I cut the crust off and everything.

I'll just have milk.

Okay, look, son.

I think I know what this is all about.

We haven't talked about the divorce and--

Look, I... I just want you to know that...

even though your mother
and I aren't together anymore,

I will always be your father.

And I will always love you.

So, please, don't be mad at me.

I'm not.

Your bread has stuff in it.

That's what's wrong?
The seven-grain bread?

It's like eating sand.

Oh, I'm so happy to hear that.

Oh!

I'm hungry.

I tell you what.
Let's forget about grilled cheese.

Hey, you like peanut butter
and banana, right?

Yeah.

Well, son, this is your lucky day,

'cause I just happen to make
an incredible snack

involving peanut butter,
banana and crackers.

We'll call it...

the "Dad and Jake Special."

Is that peanut butter chunky?

Yeah.

That's my favorite!

I knew that.

Reba, that dinner looked delicious.

You should've eaten some. It was great.

Thanks, Mrs. H.

Oh, thank Kyra.
She's the one that got the straight A's.

I'll never make that mistake again.

Reba, can I do anything?

I don't know. Can ya?

Oh! I'll take these over.

Look.

Reba and I made pie.

Uh, Van, have you read the brochures
on the birthing classes?

Oh, no. I forgot. I'm sorry.

Van, we need to choose a birthing class
before I give birth.

I'll make a decision. Mom, what kind of
birthing class should we take?

I didn't ask your mother, I asked you.

And I'll answer you
as soon as my mom tells me.

You know what?

Maybe you and your mom
should have this baby.

- Mom, you better choose a class quick.
- Oh.

No, no, no. You stay here.

Well, I'm glad this dinner's all about me.

Cheyenne?

Okay, Lamaze. Or that underwater thing.

Man, what is her problem?

I'll give you a little hint.

It's your mom.

- Van, I like your mom, but--
- You like my mom?

Well, I'm glad she's back in your life,

but maybe she's a little
too much back in your life.

Is this about her tucking me in?

When your mom's around,

you're not making any
of your own decisions anymore.

Yeah, but that's what's great about it.

I don't have to. It's like living at home.

But you're married.
You're gonna be a father soon.

All your responsibilities have changed.
They're different now.

You can't be your mama's
little boy anymore.

It's time to cut the apron strings.

She's kind of bugging you, isn't she?

This isn't about me.

Mom, she's measuring Jake
for a sailor suit.

Okay, now she's bugging me.

Sue?

She's gone.

[sighs] Coast is clear.

Is she really gone?

Yeah.

What'd you do,
drive a stake through her heart?

Kyra!

I did what you told me, Mrs. H.

I told her it was time to leave,
and she left.

Good job, honey.

She said, "Good-bye forever."

Wait a minute.

What do you mean "forever"?

Well, she said, "Good-bye forever,"
but she'll fold...

after five or six years.

Why is everything so extreme
with your family?

Where are you going?

Back to my Pilates class.

No street shoes on the mats.

Sue, we have to talk.

I'm not sure what there is to talk about.

Van said he wanted me out of the house.

Out of the house doesn't mean
out of his life.

Oh, yes, it does.

I should have realized
he never wanted me there.

He wasn't the one who asked me back.

Van wanted you back.

Maybe not as a roommate.

Look. It wasn't Van who wanted you out.

It was me.

- What?
- You bug me.

You're like a really skinny shadow.

How skinny?

Sue, focus.

All right.

Okay.

Maybe I did overdo it

with the "happy homemaker" thing,

but I only did it because
I wanted to be a better mom.

Like you. You know, I see how
you connect with your kids.

You know, with the hugs
and the muffins and... that.

I... I just wanted a little of that
for Vanny and me.

Sue, I think it's great that
you want to be a good mom.

But can't you do it at your house?

Oh, I can't cook and clean at my house.

I have people for that.

Sue, I'm not a good mom
because I'm my kids' maid.

Although I can see where
you might get that impression.

But if you want to connect with Van,
just talk to him.

Have coffee, or bring him down here
and bounce on that big ball or something.

But be a part of the important
moments in his life.

I want to be there.

But I just don't know
how to be there for him

without being there all the time.

Well, that's something
all mamas have to learn

when their kids grow up
and leave the house.

I only hope that one day I get
the opportunity to learn how myself.

I do want to be a part of my son's life.

After all, my baby's
having a baby. [chuckles]

Mine too.

Oh, dear God!
We're both going to be grannies.

You were doing so well.
