01x07 - Everybody's Talking About a Web of Lies

[bunniefuu]

Okay!



Everyone in the car!

Asher, put down the wand!

Hazel, stop making faces in the mirror!

Dave, pick a hoodie!

They all look the same!

All right.

I got the cleats the
kids refuse to wear,

and I got the folding chairs
my parents refuse to sit in.

We don't have room for them.

We'll just throw them in the trunk.

No, not the chairs... your parents.

Yay!

I want to ride in the trunk again!

Again?!

How many times have you
ridden in the trunk, baby?

Oh, take a chill pill.

We never left the driveway.

Yeah, we have a game where
we pretend they're luggage.

Hazel is a Samsonite,

- and Asher makes a great Tumi!
- [LAUGHS]

Okay, ignoring that.

Now, everybody, let's get in the car.

After I switch my hoodie.
I picked the wrong one.

Dave, focus!

Everyone can't get in the car.

There's not enough room.

Oh, well, if it's any trouble,
I can always hoof it.

No. No. Mom, absolutely not.

Uh, we'll do this.

Boys, you come with me.

Mom, you go with Rebecca.

And Rebecca, this hoodie... yes or no?

I never care.

Which car am I going in?

You're coming to soccer?

No. I'm going to brunch.
You guys can drop me on the way.

I haven't had brunch in eight years.

Shotgun!

Well, I'm gonna change my dress.

I want to put something on
with a little more zhuzh.

Ugh! This musical chairs of
cars is driving me insane.

Yeah, but, babe, this is the last time

we're gonna have to do math
to get out of the house.

We're getting a minivan

at the Groundhog Day Pop-Up Sales event,

where the sales come out
to see their shadow

and if they do, we get
six more weeks of sales.

Oh, my God, yes! That's right!

I didn't realize that was this weekend!

That deal is so good, it makes me hot.

I'm, like, physically excited.

Well, you know, that third
row folds into a bed, so...

Yeah, it does.

I'm ready!

And I look amazing!

Great.

Your mom is dressed for the Oscars

to sit in wet grass for three hours.

What? They play on wet grass?

Mom, it's soccer.

Then I'm gonna have to change.

Me too.

Wha... ?! [SCOFFS]

I should change, too.

Hey, Davey, you okay?

Haven't seen you this upset

since your mother washed your jeans

instead of putting them in the freezer.

It's 22-ounce Japanese denim.

It's not rocket science.

But, no, you know that
big job I had lined up?

It fell through, and now
I got to tell Rebecca

that we can't afford the minivan.

Ugh! Oh, boy. I'm sorry.

I'd help you out, but, you know...

I'm broke.

[CHUCKLES] I'm aware.

Rebecca is so sensitive about
financial stuff with us.

Why is that? [CHUCKLES]

Well, I mean, if you get
so stressed out about it,

then, you know, just don't tell her.

[SCOFFS] Yeah, then what
am I gonna tell Rebecca

about why we can't get a minivan?

Make up some excuse, you know?

Tell her that you're not a minivan man.

Just drag your feet for a little while.

Come on. You'll get another job soon.

Yeah, it's a way of protecting her,

like [CHUCKLES] I always
did with your mom.

You always did this?

Well, yeah. What do you think,
I told her when I lost

the Kevin Bacon Bacon Maker account?

Turns out, six degrees is
not enough to cook bacon.

I just didn't want her
worrying that we'd go broke.

- But you did go broke.
- Yes, I know.

I know we did, but at least
she wasn't worried about it.

I mean, I spend my whole
life protecting your mother.

Yeah. Oh, you know my assistant, George?

Yeah. Mom said she spoke
to him like a week ago.

No, she didn't. That was me.

I had to let George go three years ago.

I pretend to be George

on my secret second phone.

Let me get this straight.

You have a second secret phone

that you keep from Mom

to contact your assistant,

who you have since taken over for,

and Mom does not know about this,

because she still keeps
in contact with him,

and you can't tell her,
because that him,

be those kind of people?

I mean, we're kind of super

We listen to Billie Eilish sometimes.

Thank you, Deb!

A minivan will change my life.

It has a vacuum,
