[gas hissing]

-Careful.
-[shrieks] Oh, my...

[laughs]

You guys ready?

-FRANK: Where do
you want me to sit?
-SOPHIA: Want to sit there?

FRANK:
Hey, looks good.

What are you, like X-ray man?

Now you're... [laughs]

-Why are these glasses so bad?
-Oh, God.

I think everyone

digs these glasses, baby.

Here, you're, like,
breaking my balls.

Hi, my name is Frank Stallone.
I'm a musician,

and my older brother

is Sylvester Stallone.

JENNIFER:
Frank is super talented.

He writes great music,

and he's
a phenomenal entertainer.

[laughs] You're k*lling me, man.

SYLVESTER:
My brother is highly unique.

He's very, very talented.
He's very eccentric.

Kind of runs in the family.

FRANK: Growing up,
we had kind of a goofy, uh...

[laughs] ...relationship.

He would experiment on me.

[imitating Sylvester]:
Here, let me try this.

[makes crashing noise]

Rolled me down the hill
in a barrel

and bombarded me
with clay balls.

But the-the relationship
is very deep.

SOPHIA:
My Uncle Frank was more

an annoying younger brother...

-What's up!
-...than my mentor.

FRANK:
Hey, you know what's
the most important thing, girls?

You're gonna have to give three-
quarters of them to charity.

I don't honestly think

we've had a great relationship,

or a close one.

As I'm getting older,

I think he's starting
to understand

we're adults. I'm an adult.

You can kind of relate to me
a little bit more.

Dad, do you want
some of the salad, too?

SYLVESTER:
No, thanks.

-Ow, ow, ow.
-Move it on the plate.

-You boys are so useless.
-FRANK: On top of my salad?

-You guys act like
you're eight years old.
-This is getting chaotic.

-SCARLET:
I barely said anything.
-Shh.

You see how we're
all talking, like, noise?

Like, "Dah-dah-dah-dah"?
I call that roof brain chatter.

And one of the biggest
complaints people have

is like,
"You're not listening to me.

You're not listening to me."

What I've learned,

when you listen to somebody

and that person says,
"What did I say?"

And you repeat it back,
that's not listening.

So he's parroting, like,

"Polly want a cr*cker."

[laughs]:
"Polly want a cr*cker."

SISTINE:
Sly, you are the ultimate
dinner grump right now.

Let's lighten it up.
Drink some wine.

No, I'm drinking Scarlet's wine.

FRANK:
I thought he was
being very articulate.

I was being articulate.

You're not 21.

That's water. That is water.

-That's water.
-SISTINE: That is water.

Can I finish this thought?

SISTINE:
No, you've said enough thoughts.

SOPHIA:
It's wine, Scarlet.

SYLVESTER:
Hey, can we have

a sentimental moment here?

No, how about the fact
that we never

actually get this
moment, you guys.

And I'm being serious because

you're in Oklahoma,

we're in L.A....

And I'm down the street.

You're down the street,
but we never hang out.

SOPHIA:
Yeah, but we never see you.

The last time Sistine and I

were probably
at Frank's place was,

I want to say,
like 12 years ago.

It's weird. I have to go see

where this man lives.
I need to see who he is

and what he has, and I really

just want to get
to know him more.

It's nice that we all get to

have this time together

because when we were growing up,

this was every single day.

And now we never get
this moment, and it's sad.

I want to cheer to family.

This is like
the 30th f*cking cheer.

Jesus Christ.

I came up with
the most profound thought...

[overlapping chatter, groans]

Who cares what he said, anyway?

-What?!
-[overlapping chatter]

g*dd*mn it, I'm done.

SISTINE:
Cheers to mi familia.

Cheers to mi...

Cheers to family.
I love you all.

JENNIFER:
I love you guys.

FRANK:
I drank all my wine.

SCARLET: There's
a website somewhere

you can sell your feet photos.

SISTINE:
Obviously.

You could sell
anything on the Internet.

One of us has the highest
rating of feet on wikiFeet.

Certainly can't be my feet.

I have Dad's feet.

SOPHIA:
I have very spread-out toes.

SISTINE:
Yeah, you got funky toes.
They said, "Lean left."

[laughs]

SOPHIA:
You're an ass.

I can pick up
anything with my feet.

You know, one time we
were at a restaurant...

I know which story
you're gonna tell.

...and you picked up
your napkin that fell...

With your foot.

It wasn't a classy place,

and I was wearing flip-flops.

[laughter]

Mistake number one:
She wears flip-flops.

[fly buzzing]

-So...
-Yeah, what's up?

...how's your boyfriend?

At the moment,
I'm actually really happy.

It feels good.

Like, I'm not even
just saying that.

I feel really good with him,

but it's hard 'cause
he's across the country.

I am currently
dating a guy named Grant.

He's my boyfriend,
and he works in finance.

Very normal and very awesome.

I knew the moment I saw him
that he would be my boyfriend.

He is so caring about
everybody else's feelings,

and he's just
the best person ever.

I feel so mushy,
saying all this stuff.

Oh, gosh.

And it's not like
I'm, like, Scarlet's age,

or even your age.

I-I definitely am
in a different mindset

where I'm a bit more...

You're not really wanting
to date... to date anyone.

No, I've kind of done that.
I went to college.

I did the hot girl summer
for three years.

I'm good, I'm over it.
Not worth it.

Dating with
the last name that I have

is incredibly hard.

You never really know
someone's intention

when you first start dating.

They just think it's
cool to date a Stallone.

One time I dated a guy.

He was wondering how
long it would take

to date me until
he got courtside seats.

And that's when I knew
that I was going to

be in for a really tough ride
in the dating scene.

One guy brought
his résumé on the date.

One guy brought a script.

One guy said he was
an aspiring actor,

and I said,
"Do you want to date me or Sly?"

SOPHIA:
When I met Grant,

I knew that he loved me for me,

and that was the first
time I really felt

safe.

I've been dating Grant
for four months,

just doing long distance.

If you're going to
do long distance,

and you're going to
start out like that,

you want to make sure
that you guys are

both aligned, like,
there is a time

you're coming back,
you know? Like, that's...

-That's only fair.
-And it's hard too,
because you guys also...

You guys also see each other
four times a month, and...

Yeah, and how do you
develop a relationship?

-You don't. You got to see him.
-SOPHIA: And I get people...

SCARLET: It's like
the honeymoon phase every time.

Doing long distance
is so tough because

you're in New York, I'm in L.A.,

and the time difference,

and then missing each other's
phone calls,

and then someone's going to bed
when someone's waking up,

someone's going to work
when someone's coming home.

Thankfully, watching
my parents do long distance

for basically their
whole relationship,

I thought, "You know what?

"Because I've lived with it

and I've seen it, it will work."

Mom and Dad have been
married for, what?

-SISTINE: 25 years?
-SOPHIA: 25...
That's just marriage.

And think about it, she met him

ten years prior,
so that's 35 years

of knowing each other.

SISTINE:
How do they not get bored?

SOPHIA:
I don't know.

Dad always said you shouldn't

chase a clock and force

something to happen, like,

because someone seems like
they're good right now,

that you have to stick with it.
That, be patient,

because the person will
come at the right time.

[knocking on door]

-FRANK: Welcome, my cuties.
-Hello!

-How are you?
-Hi, sweetheart.

-SOPHIA: Oh, my gosh.
Nice to see you.
-Hey, babe.

-I like this shirt.
-Thank you.

-SISTINE: Wow.
-SOPHIA: Oh, my God.

Do you realize
I've lived here 36 years,

this is the second time
you've been here?

SISTINE:
Frank invited us

to his apartment, which is huge.

We've never been invited over.

The last time
I was at Frank's house,

maybe I was...

eight years old?

-Wait...
-How old are you?

Wait, wait, I remember
what I did here.

I only have
one memory from his house.

He put my feet in hot wax.

I don't know,
I thought it was normal.

-Is that my dad's abs?
-Yes.

You have my dad's abs
in your living room?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[laughs] My abs. Yeah, yeah.

We did a scene in Rambo III,

where he took
a mold of my stomach

because there's a stunt

where I pushed this
piece of wood through,

and I cauterized myself.

You know, something
that everyone does

on Fourth of July.

-You wanted to see downstairs?
-Yeah.

FRANK:
See, my brother uses me
as a way station.

He'll throw stuff away,
like, in bundles.

Figure, I got to take it.

See, thi... Oh, whoa.

Oh, my God. That just scared me.

That is horrible.

[imitating Sylvester]:
Eh, absolutely.

-SISTINE: No, this is this...
-SOPHIA: "Gangsta."

SISTINE:
Why do you have this doll?

SOPHIA:
This is the scariest
thing I've ever seen.

SISTINE:
That's going to be
possessed one day.

That's going to
k*ll you in your sleep.

[echoing]:
Yo, Adrian.

There's so much stuff of my dad.

It's just a little weird.

Like, I wouldn't have
Sophia's boobies in my closet.

Like, I don't know, just me.

Ew, is that blood?

FRANK:
Those are your father

hitting the meat in Rocky.

And this was the Village Voice,

and this was the cover.

"For Frank, who was

in my corner
since the beginning."

Isn't that amazing?

SYLVESTER:
Either he's a great collector

or clinically nuts.

[laughs] So...

Here's my bedroom.

Wow.

SOPHIA:
Oh, my...

Stop.

-You have a tub in your bedroom?
-FRANK: Yeah.

That is why
you are still single,

is this and this
is in the same room.

Well, I hate to tell you girls,

you were conceived on this bed.

[groaning]

This is the bed
your father gave me.

[girls groaning]

Ew.

You are truly
the Italian Austin Powers.

SISTINE:
It is so cool coming here

because I feel like I didn't
really know you before.

I didn't really get to see a lot

-of your childhood with my dad.
-Yeah.

It's bittersweet
because I feel like

I wish I came here earlier.

We make up for a lot
of lost time, you know,

because at a certain age,
it really starts moving fast.

I mean, eventually,
all you girls probably,

hopefully, will get married to

-a decent guy...
-Yeah.

...and have some kids.

But that's the thing, it's,
like, we want to keep this

relationship strong so that
you could meet our kids.

The fun uncle.

-I will be Uncle Funny.
-You'll be their fun uncle, too.

-Frank?
-What?

Was your fly undone
this whole time?

FRANK:
Oh, Christ almighty.

-SISTINE: Christ.
-FRANK: I didn't know that.

SISTINE:
All right, on that note...

No wonder I wear
long-tail shirts.

-Jesus.
-All right, all right.

SYLVESTER:
Okay.

SOPHIA:
We haven't done this in years.

This is nice up here.

-How are you?
-Good. I'm excited. Hi.

-Sly.
-I brought my daughter by

so she can b*at me again.

SOPHIA:
Going to the g*n range is
something that my dad and I

used to bond over a lot
when I was growing up.

And he really couldn't
have come to me

at a better moment
because of the stresses

I'm going through
in my own relationship

because it's long distance,

and I can really just
pull his two cents.

Here we go. Get your
right foot back, brother.

Both of you up on target.

SYLVESTER:
This is like high noon...

SOPHIA:
Yeah, sh**t?

SYLVESTER:
Annie Oakley.

John Wayne.

SCOTT:
Finger on the trigger, yes?

Gently press.

Gently.

Dead center. Good.

No, no. No.

Get your thumb up here, babe.

He just called him "Babe."

Go ahead.

Okay. [chuckles]
You're adding recoil in.

I didn't do half bad.

My dad thinks, because
he's done all these movies,

he's the best at sh**ting.

Whoo! You have to hit that.

Rest in peace, sucker.

Let's be real.

I just b*at his ass...

"I b*at his ass."
No, that's so gross.

Ew. Wait.

Everyone expects me to hit
the bullseye every time.

-Yeah.
-You don't do it for a while...

[mutters]
I just wanted to spend

some time with you, that's all.

Yeah, I'm glad
we got to do this.

So, what's going on with

your relationships and stuff?

I don't... I think it's
more of a personal thing.

Like, I... it's really hard
for me to do long distance.

-It's almost impossible.
-Yeah.

I don't know how you
and Mom did it for so long.

It wasn't easy, because out of

ten years, I was gone four.

-Right.
-If you put it
all together back then.

-Mm-hmm.
-That takes a toll.

-Yeah.
-Then you come back and
you're almost strangers.

SOPHIA:
I know.

You think you're used
to it, but every time

that person goes away,
it just... it gets harder.

-It does.
-It gets worse, actually.

Having done
a lot of things right

and a lot of things wrong,

I've come to one conclusion:

That time...

is your currency.

That's the most
valuable bank account

-you'll ever have.
-Yeah.

And you got to spend it

in the right spot
or you will go bankrupt.

-Right.
-And I'm talking
emotionally bankrupt.

So, if it's love, make sure

you're not wasting your currency

on the wrong person.

I really respect
my dad's advice,

and I take it to heart.

And I... I don't
want to waste my time.

So I really have
a hard decision to make.

I don't know, I feel like
I'm still in my head.

SYLVESTER:
You got to be...

Back and forth.

Believe me, you don't have time

to "F" around with people.

JENNIFER:
Do you want more?

I think that...

I'm going to give you
a smidge more.

If you want to
have a conversation,

-put some ice in there.
-Okay.

-If you don't, I'm passing out.
-Do you want more?

-No, it's good, it's good.
-All right, let's go.

SYLVESTER:
I want to sit in the barn.

You know what I said to Sophia

that, um, the clock is ticking,

that you only have
a finite amount of time.

JENNIFER:
Mm-hmm.

You got to be much
more stingy with it.

You're not going to
hang out with dodo birds.

You're not going to do this.

You're not going
to waste time...

-You're right.
-...on the wrong person.

SYLVESTER:
I think young love

is a temporary form of insanity,

so you do things
that you may regret.

So I'm here to prevent that.

The average life expectancy
is around 72.

Uh-oh.

That comes out
to 3,900 weekends.

-Wow.
-That's it. That's all you got.

'Cause when you really
become aware of it,

then you become precious
with your time.

Anyway... So, I'm glad
if I depress you.

-Oh.
-I depressed myself.

-I know, but...
-But I enjoy being depressed.

That's when I become creative.

That's when you
become creative...

That's when I do my best
writing or painting.

-Mm-hmm.
-When I'm happy,

that's the last
thing I want to do

is lock myself in some room.

But I feel like
you've gotten happier

-as you got older.
-Yeah, I have.

Can I take some credit for that?

-Okay.
-A little bit.

-No, uh, you're right.
-Yeah.

Well, you've always been
really nice and balanced.

Because you can't have

two unbalanced people
in a relationship.

You have to have someone that

kind of keeps everything
calm and balanced

so you can be creative.

SYLVESTER:
Jennifer, she's impossible

not to like.

I mean, she just
does everything right.

She's a wonderful businesswoman,

a fantastic mother, wife.

Even takes care of the dogs.

JENNIFER:
Sorry about that, Buster.

And the fact that she
could take care of me?

She should win
the Nobel Peace Prize.

You know your
biggest flaw, Jennifer?

-What?
-You're too nice.

-[chuckling]: I'm too tall.
-And you're too tall.

JENNIFER:
Hi, honey.

Oh, hi.
You brought the whole crew.

Excuse me.
Excuse me.

[laughs]

SOPHIA [laughing]:
It's a part... Okay...

Listen, I... Listen,

I love... I love you, too.
I love you, too.

SOPHIA:
I actually kind of
need to tell you something.

You know that, um,
I've been, like, obviously,

-in this relationship.
-Mm-hmm.

And I had to kind of

have this conversation
with him recently,

and everything that
I've been feeling.

And we broke up.

-Sucks.
-Oh.

I'm so sorry.

-Aw.
-I'm so sorry, my love.

That's hard.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, baby.

I think that, um...

I feel like I've been
crying so much lately.

[laughs] Um...

It's okay, it's okay.

This is a big thing, you know?
It's big.

SOPHIA:
After having time

with my dad at the g*n range

and him giving me that advice,

I kind of promised myself

that I would be with
someone long-term

that was there in
the same place as I was,

and that I actually
could spend time with.

SISTINE: I think sometimes
when you start

dating someone or I start
dating someone,

they don't really know exactly

-what they're signing up for.
-Yeah.

And when you date one of us,

-you're dating all of us.
-You date all of us.

I know that for sure.

But we love hard,
and if you're in

our little tribe here,

we're going to love you so hard,

and you're never
going to want to leave.

JENNIFER:
It is incredibly hard

to be in a long-distance
relationship.

I know because every year,
sometimes twice a year,

Sly will go away to
a different country and film.

You know, we've lost months

away from each other,
and not being able

to connect face-to-face is
very, very difficult,

especially in a new
relationship like Sophia's.

Here's the good thing.

You did value yourself.
You put yourself first.

SISTINE:
Sophia, regardless,
I'm so proud of you.

It's not an easy thing to do.

No, no, no, you've got this.

This is a bad idea.

No, no, no, please don't.
Please don't.

It's fine. Go ahead.

Sophia's breakup.

ERIC:
You want to talk

SISTINE:
Sophia is the worst flirt ever.

She has these eyes.

She goes,
"It's all in the eyes, Sistine.

That's how you bring them in."

I don't have to say anything.
I use my eyes.

Okay?

What, did Sistine say
something about my eyes?

Oh, my God, she did.

And she touches her hair,
like, every five seconds.

Oh, I'm a little hot,
so... Okay.

Does it look better like this,
or like this?

Sophia, it looks the same.

It looks the same.

Did she talk about my hair?
Did she say, like, I flip my...

I'm not saying anything.
-Gosh, she's...

SOPHIA:
Okay, you know what?
I might not be

the smoothest of them all,

but I do end up get...

I have game.

I'm pretty ambitious,

so I have, like,
a hundred ideas,

but I don't know
what to commit to.

-Are you a planner?
-Oh, yeah.

What if I told you

I don't use a calendar?

Would that give you anxiety?

You don't, like...
You don't have...

-Uh-uh.
-...a book that has, like...

You don't write down plans?

-No, it's off for a reason.

Okay. All right, all right.
Good point, all right?

My podcast is kind of
my life right now.

We talk about, like, what we
like and don't like in dating.

Yeah, like guys that don't
wear socks with their shoes

is a red flag.

I... I...

-Are you not?

SOPHIA:
I appreciate

my sister and my friends

trying to get me out of my head.

It was so nice meeting you.

-Okay, can I give you
a hug goodbye?
-Yeah, sure.

Or a... Or a "Hug,
see you later," I guess.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

I'm just not in the right
mindset and headspace

to be flirting whatsoever.

Especially if my sister
thinks I have dead eyes.

Imagine what I have when I
actually am still heartbroken.

I'm proud of you.
You put yourself out there.

It's not easy.

Well, cheers to you.

-Yes!
-Cheers to Sophia.

-To Sophia!
-For trying.

-You're doing amazing,
sweetie. Yeah.
-You are.

-Yay! It opened.

JENNIFER: Scarlet
is going away to college.

I had a 3.5 average.

-That's amazing.
-There you go.

That's because
we stole the exams.

Oh, okay.

Well, I'm so excited
to go to college.

It's hard when your last kid
leaves the nest.

SCARLET:
I think it's really hard on her.

And I can definitely see it.

I don't want you to move,
baby love.
