Damn, you are lookin' good.

I've loved all this time
we've been spending together.

Ready to take this
to the next level.

Man, are you talkin'
to this car again?

She's got a name. Victoria.

Dude, you crazy.

With a trunk like
that, she's a Felicia,

and you know it.

Okay, let's get back to work.

I don't wanna mess
up Matt's good mood.

Yeah, he hasn't gone
off on his usual rant.

You realize I can hear
everything from in here?

Let me guess, the world's
goin' to hell in a handbasket?

We don't even make handbaskets
in the U.S. anymore.

You know what we do make?
Excuses, quitters, and diabetes.

And celebrities that use

diabetes medicine
to lose weight.

You wanna lose
weight? It's simple.

This hole here, bigger
than this one back here.

My rule for you? When you
get on a roll, so do I.

Well, I got something
you're gonna like.

I, uh, hooked up the
high-voltage line to the motor

and I'm getting ready
to test the inverter.

I got a question for you.
Have you ever washed that hat?

Looks like a normal hat that
was left in Portland too long.

I can't wash it.
It's my lucky hat.

Well, tell me when
that starts working.

Hey, Matt, you're
gonna wanna see this.

Is that my GTO? I built
that 15 years ago.

Then somebody stole it.

Hi, Dad.

There's the thief.

Wow, Riley. That was,
like, a 15-year joyride.

Well, the joy ends here.

I decided it's time
for me to return it.

What are you doing here?
You got a lot of nerve

- coming back driving this time...
- Hey, kids, say hi to Grandpa.

- Hey, Pops.
- Papa!

Hey, hey, hey.

Well, this is, uh,
one tense garage.

Technically, it's
a restomod shop.

A very tense restomod shop.

I see you still
keep your house key

under the Reagan gnome.

You still speed
through school zones.

House is still the same.

It's like she's still here.

Well, she's not.

Why are my grandkids
out in the car?

I told them to wait there
so we can catch up loudly.

And also to call the
cops, if necessary.

What are you doing
here like this?

Is there something
wrong with the car?

The car is the one thing
that's doing great.

That's 'cause when I build
stuff, it's built to last.

Except our relationship.

Well, that's pretty
much on you, Riley.

Mm, that's on us.

It's like the only
thing we did together.

Can we try to talk to each
other like rational adults?

Have you watched
the news lately?

That's not a thing anymore.

I just mean catch up.

Aside from a few very
awkward Christmases,

I've barely seen you.
How the heck are ya?

You barely spoke to me
at your mom's funeral.

- Not true.
- Yes, it was.

You just nodded a couple times,

like I'm the front
desk guy at a gym.

I haven't seen you since then.

- I get why you're mad.
- Let's go way back.

How 'bout the last time
you walked out that door,

you looked back at me and
said, you remember that,

"I hate you, Dad." And
gave me a double bird.

I was 18.

The double bird was how I
ended all our conversations.

You walked out of here pregnant,
you bailed out of college,

and you went off
with some "musician."

- Yeah, James is a musician.
- No, he's not.

He's a bass player.

Plunk-plunk-plunk.
Sit down, you're done.

He didn't even have the courtesy
to ask for your hand in marriage.

Oh, 'cause you
would've said yes?

Hell no!

Can we take it down a notch?

I just drove from
Vegas with two kids

who were six inches too far back

for me to hit from
the front seat.

What are you doing here?
And where is Jimmy?

We're getting a divorce.

I'm broke, and I have
nowhere else to go.

I need a place to stay
until I find a job,

save some money, and figure out

what the rest of
my life looks like.

So, a couple of days.

Hey, you weren't my
first choice either.

There was a doomsday cult
I had my eye on, but...

it wasn't kid-friendly.

Oh, God, this was all so much
easier when Mom was here.

A lot easier when
your mom was here.

The only reason I
have a relationship

with my grandkids
is 'cause of Mom.

- You kept me at arm's length.
- 'Cause you're a lot.

You're a lot!

Well, demon meet seed.

What happened between
you and Plunk-Plunk?

He was on the road
all the time, and...

everything that comes with that.

Mom's death was a wake-up call.

What am I doing with my life?

Why am I still with James?

Sure, it pissed you off, but
is that a solid foundation

for a marriage?

I feel like such a cliché,

and I'm just so tired.

I really need your help, Dad.

You guys can stay here.

We'll see how it works out.

Really?

'Cause I haven't changed a lot.

Neither have I.

Today, America unveiled
steep tariff increases...

This is exactly why
I hate the news.

One person tells you the news,
and three others tell you

what you're supposed to
think about the news.

Like, I'm too stupid to
form my own angry opinions.

Then, why do you watch it?

You have to stay
informed, little one.

Plus, the girl in the
green's kinda pretty, huh?

Huh?

She's, like, 80.

Well, so are you,
so it makes sense.

That was your Uncle Sammy
calling from Fort Dix.

He says, "Hi. Love you guys,"

and, "Run! Get out now!

What are you doing?
Are you insane?"

There's waffles
there, coffee there.

Right now, I'm teaching the kids

how to hate-watch the
news while they eat.

Well, looks like they
forgot to tell you

I have a no-screens
rule during meals.

Well, maybe at your
house that works,

but we're at my house now.

You can watch whatever you want,

as long as it's
something I want.

And we totally appreciate
being in Papa's house.

But meals are the one time
you can tune out the world

and hear what's going on
in each other's lives.

Eh.

Alright, Carter. What's
going on in your life?

Not much. You?

Not much.

But China's still pissed at us.

While increasing
others, including the...

Do you mind, Dad?

Okay, well, now that
you're home, Riley,

what's, uh, what's your plan?

Uh, well, I have to get the
kids enrolled in school,

find a job of some kind.

Hey, not too late to
go back to college.

FYI, I got my bachelor's
degree online.

I graduated top of my kitchen.

You could get into law school.
That's always been your dream.

Uh, actually, that
was your dream for me.

Because you're smart,
talented, you know?

You, you like to argue.

You love to argue. Might
as well get paid for it.

You
do love to argue.

Yeah, Pop's throwing
shade. Give me some, Pops.

There we go, yeah!

Yeah, good shade, Pops.

Anyway, I just have to get
my life up and running again.

Or at least, up and hobbling.

Wise words from my overachiever.

Georgia, last time we talked,
you saw that Barbie movie.

You said you're gonna tear
down the patriarchy, right?

Old news.

My dream now is to
become a billionaire,

like Lori from Shark Tank.

She travels by helicopter.

Well, good luck finding a
man that's okay with his wife

making more money than him.

I don't need a man
to feel complete.

When you want to kill a spider,

a man's gonna look
pretty darn good.

I have a shoe.

A woman that can kill
insects, I like that.

You should put that on
your dating profile.

Mom, can I get a dating profile?

Yeah, the whole
block's gentrified now.

All the bars have mocktails.

They're not so bad with
a little vodka in them.

So, what do you think?

- Pretty impressive, huh?
- This is the Scrub Daddy!

Lori from Shark
Tank blew these up!

It's a sponge.

Hey, Pops, I recognize
all this stuff

- from your Instagram.
- Oh!

What do you think?

Meh.

What do you mean, "Meh"?

You know, it's kinda
lame, to be honest.

Uh, a lot of pics of
you with old cars,

thumbs up, you know...

Why don't you tell us
about this car right here?

- Go ahead.
- Okay.

This '70s muscle car, we
built for the studios.

Every detective in those
movies drove a car like this,

a detective that didn't
play by the rules.

He only trusted his very small,
adorable waitress named Trixie...

who, unfortunately, took
two bullets for him.

It was a quick death, though.

You know, better
than a thumbs-up.

- Can you take us for a ride?
- Uh, sure.

Hey, Riley, we're gonna
take a little ride.

- Do you want to go with us?
- No.

They need quality Papa time.

And I need quality no-Papa time.

Why are we here?
You gotta pee again?

Yes!

Listen, wanna take
the wheel here?

- You took driver's ed, right?
- What?

Oh, no. I don't, I
don't need to drive.

Mom got me an Uber account.

She pays to have someone
drive you around?

Yep. But it's worth it

for her to know her baby's safe.

Her words, not mine.

Besides, all my
friends use Uber.

- It's the way the world works now.
- No, no, no.

Let me tell you how
the world works.

Oh, hang on. My friends are
definitely gonna wanna hear this.

Listen, you screen-addicted
little freaks.

You can't go through
life being a passenger.

You gotta get out there. You're gonna
have to get yourself to school, to work.

Work, something parents don't
even make kids do anymore

because they wanna
be part of the crew.

So, put your phones down

and get your vitamin
D-deprived bodies out

and learn how to
drive a car. Come on.

Jesus didn't Uber.

He takes the wheel. Huh?

Now, get over here and be
master of your own destiny.

Nah.

- I wanna drive!
- You hear that?

Your little sister
wants to drive

and she can't even
reach the pedals.

You probably know
more about driving

than your brother does, right?

- Absolutely.
- Mm.

That's the go-ey, and
that's the stop-ey.

You hear that?

That's the go-ey.
That's the stop-ey.

Maybe she could teach
you how to drive.

You're not gonna let
this go, are you?

I don't think I am.

Alright, fine.

- It started making a noise.
- Like a click or a hum?

Like a...

This...

was a mistake!

Yooouuu're...

never gonna get
along with your dad.

Oh, that's the brake pads.

Come on, Gabriel. You were
my brother's best friend.

You know how
difficult my dad is.

Says the girl who was
voted "Mean for No Reason."

Oh, there's always a reason.

Your dad's not so bad.
He just loves you.

And cars. You and cars.

- The order isn't important.
- Oh.

My God! You still think
he walks on water.

I saw it with my own eyes.

It was a spilled
bottle of antifreeze,

but he was definitely
off the ground.

Gotta admit, though, he
was right about Jimmy.

Oh, please. You
always hated Jimmy

'cause he rode a motorcycle
and got all the girls.

I don't care how
many girls Jimmy got.

He just got the one
he didn't deserve.

Shut up.

You shut up.

You shut up more.

Okay, fine, I'll try to be
nicer to your damn hero.

Hey.

Stitch saw the
antifreeze thing too.

He was like an Olympic skater.

So elegant. So beautiful.

Do not make me be
mean for a reason.

I'm gonna die!

I'm gonna puke!

Don't you dare! Swallow it!

Look at me, I'm driving.

- Can I have this car?
- No.

I'm giving you something
far more valuable.

Self-sufficiency.

Rather have the car.

Listen, stay off the street,

head down this alley,
we'll park behind the shop.

You know, it's fun
seeing you and your dad

come back together again.

It's like watching
those hurricanes

form their own tornadoes.

Since Diane passed, it's
really been tough on him.

Hell, all of us.

Gabriel makes us go to
Happy Hour on Friday.

Happy Hour, Riley.

My dad went to Happy Hour?

What'd he do for the
other 59 minutes?

You know, I know he
can be difficult,

but deep down inside...

No, who are we fooling?
He a pain in the ass.

But you know what?

I can tell he's really
happy you're home.

I am trying
to make this work.

Maybe it's finally time to clip
the wings of my double bird.

What the hell?!

We're okay, Mom!
Carter hit the go-ey

instead of the stop-ey.

I told you I didn't
want to drive.

I could use a mocktail.

You forced him to drive!

You couldn't respect his wishes?

Your kid was having a
great time out there.

You think you know
what's best for them?

I'm their parent, not you.

It's-It's life lessons. You-You
can't coddle these kids.

Coddle?

Carter has got an Uber account?

You're paying for him
not to learn something

that he needs to
know. What's next?

You pay Martha Stewart to
stop over and do his laundry?

- That's your opinion, okay?
- It's not an opinion.

- As always, your opinion is the only one that matters, right?
- It's an observation.

- Observation. Observation.
- Like me being a lawyer.

I said I didn't want to be
one, and you're still pushing,

- even today.
- You push kids in a direction

to encourage what they're doing.

Oh, please. You
never gave a damn

- about what I wanted, okay?
- Oh, God.

It was always your
way or the highway.

Well, I picked the highway.

Took it right back
here, didn't you?

God, I thought I loved
my kids enough to put up

with whatever you dished out,
but, God, you're selfish.

You're selfish.

Your mom's funeral,
you stayed at a motel.

You didn't even stay here.

How do you think
that made me feel?

James didn't wanna
stay here with you.

Who cares about what
the bass player wanted?

Well, to be honest, I didn't
wanna stay here either.

I was too broken over Mom

to try to keep the
peace between you two.

Mom made a relationship
between you and me possible.

She was our bridge.

It was a mistake coming here.

N-No, it wasn't.
I-I like it here.

- The car thing isn't Pop's fault.
- Don't cover for him.

No, stop, I wanna see
where this is going.

I took your car
one night back home

and accidentally
knocked down our fence.

It freaked me the hell
out, and... that's why

I haven't wanted to
drive ever since.

That was you?

I blamed the punk-ass
kid across the street.

I slashed the tires
on his dirt bike.

I think I'm just a bad driver.

No, no, no, no. You
just need more practice

in wide open spaces in
cars not owned by me.

I need a moment to cool down.

And you're grounded.

So, no hanging out
with your friends.

We just moved here. I
don't have any friends.

Which will make it pretty easy.

Kill the old lady, Papa!

Why do I want to kill that lady?

She's the drug lord you've
been hired to take out.

Alright. Here you go, lady.

There you go.

Oh, God, look!

- Epic.
- Whoa!

You blew her head over
the Golden Gate Bridge.

You guys scare me.

Is it weird to say I
love killing as a family?

I found Mom's flour sifter.

It's still covered in flour.

It's almost like she'll walk
through the door any minute

and start making
apple cider cake.

I... I never use it, and I...
I'm not gonna ever wash it.

Yeah. Well, I'm
glad you didn't.

Well, you, um...

Um, we used that,
uh, that morning.

She made those,
uh, those biscuits.

And then, she's
gonna go for a run.

Ah, boy.

Two hours later, um, her
heart stopped, and then, um...

your beautiful mother
and love of my life...

she's gone. Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm so sorry I haven't
been there for you.

- Yeah.
- I wish I had been here more.

Yeah. Yeah, well...

Yeah. Thanks.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, boy.

It's been really
different here, alone.

Um, I think that's why I
watch the news in the morning,

you know, so I can hear
a, a woman's voice,

even though sometimes
it's Nancy Pelosi.

Yeah, ugh.

It's annoying the way she's
trying to save democracy.

Maybe we could...

build our own bridge.

Ten minutes of news
in the morning,

and then talk like a family?

Okay.

And then, um, if I want to
do something with your kids

that you don't like,
you'll just look

at the roof over your
head and go, "Okay."

I'm not
sure you understand

how bridges work.

You are their grandfather and...

should be given some leeway.

Okay, I'm good with that.

Plus, Carter needs
to learn to drive

and I'm not getting
in a car with him.

He sucks.

He's terrible.

You know, by the way,
uh, my insurance company

is gonna file a lawsuit
against you for the damages.

It's just a formality.

Mm. They'll settle quickly

when I file child endangerment
charges against you.

Told ya you should
have been a lawyer.

Knives on the right,
forks on the left.

Carter, that's not your
right, and that's not a fork.

My kids are setting the table?

I'm teaching 'em manners.
It's like a lost art.

Like so many things.
Tennis, for instance.

- Oh, boy.
- Alright.

It's elegant, strong.

It's a wonderful sport, but
it was too much for people.

So, thank gosh we
invented pickleball...

so old people can feel like
they're athletes, right?

But when you can hold
a tumbler of Chianti

while you're playing a
sport, it's not a sport.

Now that the TED Talk no
one asked for is over...

I made Mom's biscuits.

She'd be very proud of you.

Ooh, hot, hot, hot.

So, what do you think?

It's so dry.

I can't breathe.

They're soaking up
a lot of butter.

I don't think you
should do this again.
