235. I kind of bottomed out, so
I decided to get some help, and,
236. I've been sober
for six months now.
237. And you didn't tell me about this?
238. Well, I'm telling you now.
239. What good is it to tell me now? I'm your father.
You could have come to me about this.
240. Instead you go to a bunch of
strangers with drinking problems?
241. Well, I'm sorry... I guess.
242. Which one of the 12 steps is the one where
you act like your father doesn't exist?
243. Dad, what's the big deal?
It was my problem.
244. - I went, and I did what I needed to do to get help.
- I'm supposed to help you.
245. I deserved to know.
246. And meanwhile, I plan this whole trip, and now I find out you're sober,
and I'm standing here with a bottle of booze like some kind of jackass.
247. You know, it's just a little tough... Wow.
248. It's just little tough to find out.
249. Do you have any other surprises for me?
Do I have any grandchildren I never met?
250. - Do you have a boyfriend?
- Dad, come on. This is a nice trip.
251. I want to just enjoy this.
252. I'm going to bed.
253. I liked the thing you said about picking battles.
254. I got it off a billboard.
255. Oh, look at this. You got Francis a watch.
256. That was so nice of you.
257. This is a rare promotional Doobie Brothers EP.
258. Oh. Hal almost cried when he found this at a yard sale.
259. - It still doesn't seem like enough.
- Oh, honey, this is just how we get the creative juices flowing.
260. It's tough. You have to make your husband miserable, but I have to make
mine miserable and make it a warning to the other three boys in the house.
261. - Do men ever think about what's gonna happen
when they do these stupid things?
- No, that's what's weird about men, they never do.
262. I guarantee you those two won't even think
about the consequences of their actions
263. until five minutes before they come home.
264. So no matter how low I set the bar,
he'll still find a way to crawl under it?
265. You still think there's a bar.
266. That's so cute.
267. Look at him, sleeping peacefully while
I'm sitting here going through hell.
268. It's not fair.
269. God, when did this room get so small? I hate this.
270. - Reese, come on, go to sleep.
- I can't. I just keep thinking about the beating.
271. How long it'll hurt, how bad
it'll be, when it's gonna happen.
272. What if it's on the Fourth of July? That'll ruin it.
273. - I was gonna have pie.
- Dude, you have to calm down.
274. - We can wait it out. We can beat this.
- I can't take this anymore.
275. I'm going out there. It's probably me he wants, anyway.
276. - Reese, that's stupid. There is no logic in that.
- Yes, there is.
277. He is just getting madder and madder. And the longer
he has to wait, the worse the beating is going to be.
278. Reese, think about it. Dewey got beat up
even though Randy wasn't after him.
279. If you go out there now, he'll beat you up even if you're not
the one he wants, just to send a message to me.
280. I don't care anymore.
281. But if you just wait, I'll figure out a way to get out of this.
282. I am not gonna wait while you keep trying to come up
with some plan that you'll never come up with.
283. I have to live in the real world.
284. This mud feels fantastic, doesn't it?
285. It's so soothing, I don't even care about all
the hundreds of people who left their pubes in here.
286. Come on, Dad. We should be making the most of this.
287. You sulked all the way here, you sulked all the way through the
cold plunge, you even sulked when they beat us with juniper branches.
288. Stop being such a baby.
289. I'm sorry I had such high expectations for this trip.
290. For all the trouble I went to, I thought maybe
I could maybe be an important part of your life.
291. This has been a nice trip, Dad.
This is exactly how I was hoping it would be.
292. It just gets to me, Francis. I mean, how did we get to
this point where you're doing all this stuff without me?
293. I mean, you're-you're traveling everywhere, you're getting
married, you're doing all these things without even telling me.
294. - And now I find out you even went to AA without telling me?
- I can't help it, Dad. I'm a grown-up now. It happens.
295. And I missed it.
296. I mean, here you've grown into this nice, responsible,
decent man, and I didn't get to be there for it.
297. I missed you being there, too, Dad.
298. It kind of makes me happy you feel sad about it.
299. - Well, that's something anyway.
- Yeah.
300. Five minutes.
301. Holy crap, we've got to get back home!
Do you realize how much trouble we're in?
302. Oh, God, you're right. We're dead. We can't go back.
303. No, no, no, no, wait. I'll think of something. I've been
married for 20 years, and I've gotten out of a lot of trouble.
304. - Wait, how is it 20 years if I'm 21?
- Just shut up and let me think.
305. - Okay. I have something.
- What?
306. Ow! God. What the hell was that for?
307. You were in a terrible motorcycle
accident that taught you a lesson.
308. Now it's not gonna solve everything, but it's gonna make
your apology go down a lot easier because it makes them right,
309. which is what they really want.
310. - Dad, you're brilliant.
- There's no time for that. Just do me now.
311. You're gonna want to grab between the second and
third knuckle, and go up and back in one smooth motion.
312. But just these two so I can still work the throttle.
313. - I love you, Dad.
- I love you, too, son.
314. - You were right, Dewey. I can't tell you how much better I feel.
- Told ya.
315. It's really freeing. Especially knowing
he still wants the other brother.
316. Malcolm, you got to go out there. It's time. He wants you.
317. No. By October, I'll be strong enough to beat him.
318. Come on, Malcolm. You have school tomorrow. You can pretend to
be sick for a few days, but sooner or later, Mom gets involved.
319. - Then what?
- I'll think of something.
320. Thinking won't do it, Malcolm. This is
not a smart thing. It's a life thing.
321. Randy is like an earthquake.
It's just something that's gonna happen.
322. Seriously, Malcolm, the longer you try to put this off,
the worse it's gonna to be.
323. I could tell he was holding back.
He's got a lot farther he could go.
324. - This is nothing.
- No, I'm not giving up. I don't give up.
325. I'm not a quitter. If I have a problem, I think
and work and keep working on it until I solve it.
326. Okay, name one time that's ever worked out for you.
327. Well...
328. Did it work five years ago when your hamster died, and
you spent so many hours giving it CPR that the doctors
had to put a shunt in your mouth to help the sores drain?
329. Did it work with that girl you kept hounding because you thought
she was so close to liking you until she finally maced you?
330. No, but I could... I could...
331. Malcolm, think about it.
332. You're right.
333. I really have to go out there.
334. I appreciate you guys looking out for me.
335. We didn't think you'd be so easy to convince.
336. No, not him. Where's the red-haired brother?
337. - There is no red-haired brother. This is it.
- Shoot. I have the wrong house.
338. Where's that house with the assbag
who works with handicapped kids?
339. Oh, that's Eddie Jeffers. He lives on Comstock.
340. You guys got pounded, and I got off scot-free.
Hah! Now whose philosophy looks stupid?
341. You thought I couldn't come up with...
342. Guys, wait. What if we do this tomorrow?
You'll be rested. Take some time first.
343. We worked so hard and spent so much on Francis'
dinner, it's nice that we can all finally enjoy it.
