Okay, only six more days
till you, me, Andi and Marcy are on a plane to Vegas.
Oh,
we have been planning this trip for three years
and something always, always screws it up.
Well, it was your fault we canceled last year.
You had to go out and get food poisoning.
Yeah, because you cooked me fish you bought from a guy in a van.
He was wearing a captain's hat. He seemed legit.
And the year before that, you had to pet that coyote.
He came right up to me.
Okay, for the next six days, we play it safe.
No dares, no bets,
no making the crew laugh with your nail gun tricks.
Nothing is gonna get in the way of our trip.
All right?
Did you confirm the hotel reservation?
Yeah, I even talked them into
giving us the convention discount.
Uh-huh.
Okay, what's the catch?
No catch. Just, someone's gonna have to
pretend to be a podiatrist.
And, um, possibly give a quick 90-minute speech.
Hey, Emme, how was ballet?
Great, I was the cutest one.
She's gonna be trouble, isn't she?
Yeah, a little bit.
Six days to Vegas.
I know, I'm excited.
Oh, but,
- uh, guess what I heard at ballet? - Hmm?
Chad Thompson had a birthday party last week
and Teddy wasn't invited.
What? Wait, which one's Chad Thompson?
The one that calls you "toots"?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
He's the one who's got the head that's too big for his body.
Oh, yeah, yeah, Bubblehead Thompson, yeah.
Yeah. I just... I hope Teddy's not upset.
Oh, well, let's find out.
I don't suggest this often,
but let's go talk to our children.
Okay, you go.
Why don't you go? You're closer.
Teddy?
Listen, uh, Mom wants to talk to you.
So, Teddy...
Hey, what's going on with Chad Thompson these days?
I-I heard he had a birthday party last week?
I didn't want to go to that.
We don't really hang out anymore.
Oh, oh.
Well, so, who do you hang out with?
The guys who play Astroline Rebellion,
the greatest computer game of all time.
Oh. Huh.
So, kids at your school play that?
No. I've never met them in person.
They're online friends.
Oh. Wow.
That is, um... troubling?
They're great guys...
SpaceBoss, LonerZero, TheGoobs43.
The-the goobs? What-what's a goobs?
Wh-What kind of kids are these?
They're called dorks.
All right, but, um, sweetie,
you-you hang out with actual kids at your school, too, right?
Yeah, yeah, kids you definitely know aren't, like,
grown men in some Internet cafe in Bangkok.
Not really. I'm more of an online presence these days.
- Oh. - Hmm.
Oh, I should have taken him fishing more.
Okay, I didn't do it sooner
because I didn't want to jinx it.
But I booked our flights to Vegas.
Great news: all middle seats.
Okay, how come we let Don plan these trips?
Next year, we got to make sure
someone's in charge of making sure he's not in charge.
I don't if now is the right time to go, you know?
I mean, what, with Teddy and the space goobers.
What? So he's a nerd. He's happy.
You're just saying that 'cause you want to go to Vegas.
Yes. Yes, but also, he seems fine.
Yeah, the world needs nerds.
What do you think would have happened if Bill Gates' parents
had freaked out about him being a nerd, huh?
There'd be no Angry Birds, I'll tell you that.
I just don't want the other kids to think
he's weird and then give him a hard time.
Growing up is tough.
You know, I don't have any personal experience
being an outsider, 'cause I've always been hot and athletic.
- Mm-hmm. - But, um,
- I think Don can relate. - Mm.
Yeah. In high school,
Jimmy Dugan used to follow me around
and call me a shaved gorilla.
Oh...
Oh, a shaved gorilla. That's a...
Yeah, well, I was a nerd growing up and it wasn't easy.
You know, you're always saying that,
but I am not buying it.
If anything, you were a hot nerd.
Like, uh, like Velma on Scooby-Doo.
Ah, you think so, huh?
Oh, yeah.
When you wear your reading glasses...
All right...
Well, that's because I didn't go to the same high school
as the three of you.
Okay, I am gonna tell you guys something
I have never told anyone before.
My freshman year...
You slept with a teacher? You got a boob job?
Why is no one else guessing?
Okay, I had just moved here
from Virginia and I hadn't made many friends.
I thought, "I'm gonna make a big splash at the homecoming game."
So, I go to the mall.
And there, in the window, is a leather suit. Okay?
Just like the one Eddie Murphy wore in his stand-up special.
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
It was shiny, skintight
and bright red.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
And I spent all my babysitting money on it
'cause I thought...
"With this suit, I can't lose."
I hope this works out for her.
You're not good with tone, are you?
Yeah,
I realized my mistake
as soon as I hit the bleachers.
You see...
leather makes a sound.
It's a sound that-that makes people stop
and stare.
Why do I know this story?
And that's when I started to sweat. A lot.
And then,
a cheerleader from the other school
saw me in my Eddie Murphy suit
and she flipped her little ponytail at me and she said,
"Oh, hey, look, it's... "
- Sweaty Murphy. - Sweaty Murphy.
What?
But how did you know that?
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
You're Sweaty Murphy?
I played in that game.
We talked about you in the huddle.
We laughed so hard, they threw a flag.
No, no, no, no,
the only way you would know that is if...
Oh, my God.
You're the girl with the ponytail.
Oh!
And you're the girl in the suit,
this is so funny!
You don't think it's funny.
Well, I'm just glad
you're okay, because word on the street was
that Sweaty Murphy went crazy
and ended up in a home somewhere.
Yeah, my home.
I can't believe I married Sweaty Murphy!
It's not funny.
It's a little funny.
Funny.
I can't believe we have been friends
all these years and that was you.
You are not really mad about this, are you?
It was years ago.
No, no, I'm not mad.
I mean, I guess I would have recognized you sooner,
but your hair's too thin for a ponytail now.
Oh, yeah, I said it.
Don, car.
No, no, no, don't bother leaving,
I'm going upstairs.
Wow.
Yeah. Well, I'm glad
none of that was Marcy's fault.
What are you talking about?
Well, I'm just practicing for the car ride home.
Ah...
Oh, boy. How was your night?
Bad.
Marcy wanted to talk.
I spent years training her not to depend on me
for emotional support. That's all out the window!
After you guys left,
Andi went off about Marcy.
She went through all the English curse words,
then started swearing in Portuguese like her grandmother.
This Vegas trip is starting to feel very shaky.
Oh, don't even say that. I need this trip.
All year, I've been working in this dump...
Hey, hey, hey, hey. This is our business.
I'm sorry, you know I love this place,
but the thought of Vegas is the only thing
that gets me through the day in this hellhole.
Look, I want to go, too.
But I don't think it's gonna happen,
unless Marcy apologizes.
Well, there's two things Marcy never does:
one of them, she did before we got married
and then she stopped.
The one you're talking about, she's never done.
Well, we got to figure out a way to talk her into it.
Yeah, I'll be fine.
You know, it's been so long, I don't even miss it anymore.
Oh, you mean the other thing.
You want me to apologize?
That's a great idea.
Adam, you know I love Andi.
She's one of my best friends, but she totally overreacted.
All right, between you and me,
I totally agree.
Also between you and me, I never said that.
She also said a very hurtful thing to me.
My hair is thick and luxurious, right, Don?
Like a yak's chest, baby.
Thank you.
Well, look, Marcy,
you are a very powerful woman.
Like a yak!
Okay, uh, Don here is a shell of a man,
so job well done.
But with that power comes responsibility.
You have the opportunity now to be the bigger person.
Hmm. Appealing to my vanity, I like it.
Okay, I'll do it.
Yes! Great. This'll mean a lot to Andi.
Oh, and when you do it,
if she starts talking in Portuguese,
just power through, that's all compliments.
There she is.
Surprise!
Look who came to see you.
Hello, Marcy.
That was in English, that's a good sign.
So, Andi, I just wanted to say...
Oh, you know what? Nothing you say can change what happened.
All right? I mean,
all these years, I have regretted
not thinking of the perfect comeback
for when you called me "Sweaty Murphy"...
but I see now
that I'm not small and mean like you.
I don't have to blow out other people's candles
to make mine shine brighter.
I saw that on a poster in the dentist's office,
I thought it was quite something.
- Mm-hmm. - You know what?
I cannot believe that you are still upset about something
that happened when we were kids!
It's kind of crazy.
Who are you calling crazy, doll hair?
- Oh! - Okay, okay, okay,
I think we're moving in the wrong direction here.
Honey, Marcy came over to apologize.
No, no, I am not apologizing anymore.
She's completely overreacting again.
Overreact... uh. A-Are you hearing this?
Do you think I'm overreacting?
Me?
Uh... do I think you're overreacting?
She's looking right at you. Everyone in the room
knows she's talking to you.
Adam?
Well, you are reacting.
And it's definitely not too little.
It's... well, there's underreacting.
Right? Then there's regular reacting. You know.
Then there's, uh... you.
That means over!
I never said it!
All right. I gave it a shot, Adam.
I'm out. Don, car.
I never get to stay anywhere.
I can't believe you didn't back me up.
Come on, Andi. I always have your back.
I just don't think that something that happened
in high school should cause all these problems today.
Because you turned out awesome.
Well, yeah. I am pretty great.
You know, but it was a long road to get here.
When she said,
"Don, car," I guess she meant,
"Don, I'm taking the car."
Okay, well, good. I'm glad you're back,
because you can help me.
Okay, don't you think everybody
would be better off if Andi just let this go?
Be the bigger person, and just forgive Marcy.
Yeah, I-I mean, I did that to the guy from high school
who used to call me a shaved gorilla.
- Really? - Yeah.
Wait, you're not just making this up as you go along?
- No. - 'Cause I need something good here.
No. I-It's a nice story, actually.
Couple years ago, he came to me looking for a job,
and I took that opportunity to be the bigger man.
I told him to go to hell.
How does that make you the bigger man?
Well, he's like five-seven. I'm way bigger.
I knew it.
All the parts of a good story, but still useless.
Don, why are you on his side?
You were a nerd in high school, too, and he doesn't get it.
I get it.
Oh, really? Have you ever been so desperate
to get out of a leather suit that you broke the zipper?
And then your dad had to cut you out
with an electric carving knife?
Okay. To be fair, that's a really small club.
You know, now that I think about it,
Adam sailed through high school.
He was always the winner, always popular.
Okay. Look, I can't help it if people are drawn to me.
I'm... magnetic. I don't know.
Life's been easy for you, hasn't it?
It's... it's been a good run, yeah.
Well, you remember at dinner,
when I told you they called me a shaved gorilla?
He laughed.
Oh, no. I do remember that.
It's a funny idea.
I mean, picture a gorilla.
Then, you shave him. You never see that.
You know,
I think I'm on Andi's side now.
And I don't think she overreacted at all.
I think you underreacted.
You're an underreactor.
You are on the right side of history, Don.
What? What is happening here? Now you got him nuts?
Just because of one day, like, a million years ago?
Adam, it wasn't just one day.
I mean, people called me Sweaty Murphy for months.
All right? Even my homeroom teacher.
She'd do roll call in the morning, she'd be, like,
"Murphy," comma, "Sweaty?"
And I'd have to be, like, "Here."
Oh. Okay. I didn't know any of that.
I think it's time you leave, Adam.
It's my house, Don.
Well, it looks like you win again, doesn't it?
Hey, Marcy.
Why are you here?
Apparently, I'm on your team, now.
Oh, ho, ho. We're gonna be unstoppable!
What? No... No! It's not good.
So how do you want to get 'em?
Okay, we're getting them.
Look, Andi is really upset.
And now,
she's got Don all worked up, too.
She even took him to the school-parent mixer tonight,
instead of me, because he's on her team.
I had no idea this would be such a big deal to her.
Okay, look. I don't think either one of us really understood
her point of view before, because she's right.
We haven't gone through it.
And I definitely didn't handle things
the way I should've.
Well, to be honest, I feel terrible.
I mean, I love Andi.
But I think the reason that I got so upset was because I...
I wasn't proud of the way I behaved back then.
I was young and selfish, and I... I didn't care who I hurt,
so, maybe Andi's right about me.
Wow.
Wow. You just said a lot of really great things
at a really unhelpful time.
Okay, look. I think the question is...
How do we get her to forgive us?
How would I know how to do that?
Okay, Marcy. Look, it's... everyone in town knows
you hold a hell of a grudge.
Oh, that's nice that people notice.
Yeah, okay, well. So, if the roles were reversed,
what would it take or you to forgive?
Well, talking's not gonna do it.
We need something to let her know
that we understand how she feels.
Right? A big gesture.
Would that by any chance be... a trip to Vegas?
- No. No. - Oh.
No. What I would need
is something that would make me feel better,
while at the same time, making you feel bad.
You know, preferably, in a public place with a lot of people watching.
Okay? And on top of that,
making a profound statement about the underlying issue
that started the problem.
That's all.
Wow.
My brother Don is a saint.
So I told Adam,
I'm gonna go to the parent mixer
with someone who's on my team:
Don.
And I misplayed my hand terribly, so I'm here.
Well, this may come as a shock to you,
but I was not the most popular person
in high school either.
Oh, I believe it. You seem soft, son.
Oh, my God.
Now we got a party.
Why are you dressed like that?
You... sweet, ridiculous man.
I want to be on Team Sweaty Murphy.
Even though you have really bad uniforms.
Honey, you didn't have to do this.
Yes. I did.
And believe me,
now I understand
how you must've felt.
Sweaty...
in every area.
And humiliated.
Hey, Jim.
Oh...
Oh... you do get me.
This team sucks. Take me home.
- Ugh. - Look what he wore for me.
Is he not the cutest?
Well, we wanted to make a point.
We? W-We who?
We...
Marcy?
I don't want to do this anymore, Adam!
Marcy!
That's the stuff!
Okay, I got my keys,
I got the tickets.
Vegas, here we come!
I got to tell you, I didn't think
this would actually happen.
Hey, are we still getting
the fake doctor discount?
Yeah. I just got to write a 90-minute speech
about feet. I got the title.
"Feet: The Hands of Your Legs."
Okay, guys. Come on. We're gonna drop you at Nana's
on the way to the airport.
All right.
Daddy, my throat hurts.
What? No. No, no, no.
Aw, honey. Come here.
Oh, Adam. She's got a fever.
No! No, no, no.
Yep. Teddy's warm, too.
Every year.
What are we gonna do? Uh...
Don't look at me. I'm a foot doctor.
Goobs, watch your tail.
This guy's level 30 xenomorph.
Nice shot, LonerZero!
High five, guys.
Okay, that's it. We're going fishing next weekend.
And I'm buying you a BB gun.
And this is how you high five.
With another hand.
Good morning, folks.
Von Burns, foot doctor.
Foot specialist.
Footballer, if you will.
Let's break down the word "feet."
From the Latin word "feetatoe."
Ten toes, two feet.
Five toes, one foot.
I'm gonna let that sink in for the next...
88 minutes.
In the meantime,
I'm gonna walk with my feet to the back bar,
get myself a nice little rum and Coke.
These are my feet, right here, ladies and gentlemen.
My feet are walking toward the bar in the back.
Thank you for coming out. Enjoy the next 88 minutes.
