04x17 - Quinceañera

[bunniefuu]

Hey.

For Emma's quinceañera, am I supposed to just get her money, or if I wanted to add something extra, would she like a NutriBullet, makeup, rosary beads, a T-shirt that says "Slay all day"?

She's gonna like whatever you get her.

I just want it to be good, you know?

I always feel like Emma doesn't like me.

What? Why?

She always goes to her room whenever I come over.

And there was the time she saw in the towel and it was never addressed.

Jonah, she's 15 years old.

If you're not Ariana Grande or Gritty, she's not into it.

Yeah, but I'm, like, the guy who stole her mom away from her dad.

Yeah, no, you're right. It's true.

I was in a happy, fulfilling, blissful marriage that would have just gone on forever and ever if you hadn't swooped in and started whispering "This American Life" stories into my ear until my panties dropped.

I'm just saying.

I don't need to go if it's gonna make things weird.

I mean, between Emma and Adam...

It's not going to be weird.

Calm down. I want you to be there.

It would be weird if you weren't there.

( sighs ) You sure?

Yes.

Okay. Okay.

Has she ever brought up the towel thing?

Because it was tied pretty low.

It's been discussed.

Emma, hey! Happy quinceañera.

Thanks.

That dress is great.

Somebody is ready for the red carpet.

Okay.

Hey, you two, could I get a photo?

Ah, oh, yeah. Sure.

All right.

Go ahead and smile.

Ah, go ahead and actually get close together.

Oh, hey, Adam, how's it going, buddy?

Hi. Hey.

All right.

Emma, what don't you take a little step forward?

And, Dad, go ahead and throw your arms around her.

Ew, he's not my Dad.

Yeah, I'm not...

"Ew" seems strong.

I'm the father.

Yeah, I'm just the boyfriend.

Oh, no, the mother's boyfriend.

I'm not... I'm not her boy...

You know what? You should probably do this instead of me.

The father-daughter photo?

Yeah, maybe.

Probably should.

Oh, wow, I'm gonna have to zoom out on that one.

You're so much taller, right?

Thank you.

There he is. Yeah, I like it. That's good.

Yeah, you guys, you're both so... so beautiful.

Thank you.

Oh, you guys, went all out.

Yeah, it was gonna be a little smaller, but then I... I got my promotion, and I was like, "o it up."

Bo really wanted to come, but one of his suits is at the dry cleaner's and the other one's haunted.

Okay. Yeah, those things happen.

Oh, and, Amy, Jerusha had to watch Rose, but there was no way that I was gonna miss this celebration of Emma's transition from girlhood to womanhood with cultural roots in Mesoamerica.

Thank you, Glenn. Did you spend some time on Wikipedia?

Yeah, I did. How?

Where's Emma?

She's over there.

Oh.

Aw.

Look at her, in her dress.

I wore that dress to my quinceañera.

I can't believe it.

Just yesterday, she was this little baby, and now she's this grown woman.

I'm so sorry. I have a lot of feelings today.

Excuse me.

I don't think I've ever seen Amy show emotion before.

I know, it's so weird.

It's like, I once saw my dentist yell at a stripper, and it was like, "Oh, you do have feelings."

Amy doesn't cry often, but when she does, oh, boy.

What do you mean?

Oh, it's awful.

It's like... ( wails )

No, it's, um... ( whines )

No, I can't do it.

I would really like to see that.

Me too.

Mm.

♪ I've never been afraid ♪
♪ I've loved the life we've made ♪

Why are you lurking in the corner?

I'm not lurking.

I'm standing silently in the shadows.

Lurking works, yeah.

I'm just trying to stay out of everyone's way, you know?

Jonah, relax. It's a party.

You should be mingling. Go talk to someone about how second season of "Patriot" gets better.

It doesn't.

See? This is a great conversation.

Get out there.

Oh, Mom, Dad! Come! Come here!

Just talk to them.

I... I'm fine...

You remember Jonah.

Hey, guys! Hey!

Nice to see you.

Hi, Jonah.

It's been a while. Hi.

Er, yeah, yeah. It's good to see you.

Connie, I love that dress.

Somebody is ready for the red carpet.

Thank you.

( clears throat ) You know, I think you're running low on ice.

I don't think we are.

Well, nobody ever thinks they're running low on ice until they're actually low on ice, and then it's too late, so I'm gonna go get some ice from outside.

Uh, excuse me.

It's his first quinceañera.

If everybody could take their seats, we're gonna begin the presentation of Emma and her court ofdamas y chambelanes in just a few minutes.

They're breasts!

I wasn't... I was just...

Uh-huh.

It was a bold choice to wear a dress like that at a party full of a bunch of horny teens.

You're really putting the ladies out there.

Why should I have to police my body because the men of this world can't keep it in their pants?

I agree.

I mean, if Emma was Wiccan, we would be all naked right now, dancing around a fire pentacle and grabbing each other's crotches.

It really sounds like you've done that before.

A couple of times.

All right, and now, everybody, on your feet.

It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you thequinceañera herself, Emma Dubanowski!

♪ I wanna see you when I turn around... ♪

Oh, uh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you guys were...

I'm so sorry.

Oh, watch out.

Oh, so sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm sorry, I was getting ice.

We can see that, big guy. Just get out of the way.

Okay, I'm sorry. I'm...

( all gasp )

Okay, sorry. I'm sorry.

If you guys... just... just back up.

I don't want anybody to slip. It's... it's slippery.

It's good to see Jonah again.

I'm glad that's happening for you.

Thank you.

You know what?

We're gonna take a break and clear the floor, so everyone just chill and we'll take it again from the top.

Okay, again, very sorry.

If you need anything, I'm just gonna... you don't need anything. You guys are good.

I'm... okay. I'm gonna stop talking right now.

So, uh, I'm gonna write down my email.

If you could send me a copy of this video, that would be great.

It could be any file, any size. I don't care.

Come on, it wasn't that bad.

If anything, you did her a favor.

How many girls get to do their entrance twice?

One of the kids said, "Smooth move, d*ck."

Like, just so uncalled for.

I'm sure most of them didn't even notice.

Look at them. Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hello?

Oh, my God.

Look, I just want you to know that nothing happened between Jonah and Amy while you guys were together.

I mean, sure they kissed during the tornado, but I'm pretty sure that was it.

Well, thanks for letting me know that.

Yeah. But then, of course, there was the s*x tape that happened at work.

If it helps, we found out later, Amy didn't finish.

Jonah did, though, so...

Sorry about that.

Buddy, cut it out.

Cut what out?

Dude, look, I was your age once. I was obsessed with breasts.

I'm still a fan, but she's my friend, so stop staring at her.

I wasn't. I don't care about some lady's fake boobs.

( chuckles ) Okay, all right.

Well, they're real, but whatever.

They're totally fake.

You can tell when they're too round like that.

Dude, don't act like you know about breasts.

I dated her. They're real.

You dated her?

So you've, like, seen them?

Yeah. When adults date each other, they show each other their boobs.

What are they like? Are they awesome?

Buddy, I'm not telling you about that.

But the right one's a little perkier than the left one, but not in like a weird Picasso kind of way, and they're sort of spread out, but not like Admiral Ackbar.

It's like they're...

( sighs ) You know what?

I'll just draw 'em for ya. Come on.

And on this day of your quinceañera, I wanted to get you something muy especial, so...

both: Holy ( bleep ).

It's the traditional last doll, última muñeca.

Jerusha and I worked really hard on this.

Do you like it?

Yes, mm-hmm. Just say thank you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, if you're wondering why the hair looks so real?

Because it is.

Yeah, Jerusha got her hair caught in the garbage disposal, so, you know, we saved it for you.

Thank you.

Put her away.

Keep her safe.

Yeah.

Emma, if I could give you any advice, it would be, never give your virtue away.

Hold it, protect it until you meet that special man that you will call husband.

This is, like, the fifth speech in a row about Emma's virginity.

It's weird.

I know.

It's like, who hasn't lost their virginity by 15?

Studies show that pushing abstinence on kids actually makes them want to have s*x more.

Or it encourages them to try butt stuff, which, hey, God bless.

So it kind of curves up here to décolletage.

That's a crumb.

That's not, like, a third nipple.

Then over here, there's sort of a quick little dip, like that first drop in Batman: The Ride.

And I know it seems like I'm spending a lot of time on the sternum, but it's really all about that negative space.

Because losing the precious gift of chastity would be the biggest mistake of your life, almost as big a mistake as when this guy ruined your big entrance.

( laughter )

( chuckles weakly )

From before, yeah. Zing.

♪ Fire, baby ♪

Because, as we all know, the unopened chips always stays the freshest.

( applause )

Thank you.

Ah, who's next?

Oh, God, no. Pass.

Ouch, so cold.

I don't... I don't mean pass like I-I-I don't care.

I just... uh...

I... sorry, when I... when I said, "Pass,"

I just meant, like, I don't want to say anything.

Not... sorry, not because I don't like Emma.

It's just, it feels silly for me to be giving a speech when I'm not even a part of the family yet.

Oh!

No, no, no, no, no, no.

That doesn't... that's not a... no.

Don't read into the word "yet," no.

Believe me, we're... ( chuckles )

We're not getting married, okay?

I mean, I don't mean that we're never... we're never gonna get married.

( stumbling ) I mean, we haven't even talked about it, right?

You know what? I should probably just stick with the standard script and say, um, congrats, Emma, and I guess stay a virgin or don't... or don't.

You know, that's... your sexuality is your own.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you for those kind words, Jonah.

Here.

Just...

But, uh, we got some more partying to do, folks.

I budgeted six shrimp per person, so go to town.

And if there aren't any more toasts...

Actually, Amy, uh, I just wanted to say a few words on the topic of female pleasure...

( feedback squeals )

Oops, it's... it's broken.

Hi.

How are you doing?

Fantastic. Life of the party.

( yawns )

Man, I am so tired.

I really wish I could go home now.

You can, though, if you wanted to.

You know, if you're... if you're feeling b*at.

I mean, it's only 8:30.

Oh, okay, only 8:30, Mr. Party All Night.

I wish I could be in bed with a good book.

Doesn't that sound great?

You've literally never read in bed.

You play "Candy Crush" until you're snoring.

Ha! Yeah, that's true. I love that game.

Maybe I should take off.

No, no.

That's... that's not what I want.

I-I want you be here, just not so noticeably.

That's what I want.

Fingers crossed.

( upbeat dance music )

Excuse me.

Were you the one who drew these breasts for my child?

What? No. What? Who's your son?

In the future, I'd appreciate if you didn't give p*rn to my child.

Mm-hmm.

He's a child.

Got it, child.

Those are my breasts.

What? No. I drew those from scratch.

I think I'd recognize my own breasts.

I have over 40 mirrors in my house.

Okay, fine, yeah, they're your breasts, but it was just that this nerd kid said that they were fake, and I was like, "No, they're not."

And he's like, "Yes, they are," so I...

This is a really impressive level of detail.

Did you just do this from memory?

Yeah.

Wow. I guess I didn't realize how obsessed you are with me.

What?

Well, it's almost sad.

Poor Garrett, pining after a woman who barely knows he's alive.

No, I think you are reading way too much into a drawing.

I draw Garfield too.

I don't want to have s*x with Garfield. I'm not Jon.

Stop!

( Laughs )

Emma is the spitting image of you by the way.

Oh, I know. I'm trying not to cry.

Yesterday she was this little girl in pigtails running around the house, and now she's this smart, confident, beautiful young woman.

You must be so proud.

I am.

And pretty soon, you're gonna be at her graduation and then her wedding, then her funeral.

What?

I mean, you know, someday. Not now.

She's not gonna live forever.

Hopefully you'll die first.

Okay.

I'm gonna go, um, mingle with some other... over there.

She didn't mean it.

Oh.

Wow, she is a robot.

( speaking Spanish )

Hey, have you tried these?

These are called pastelitos de perro.

It's a traditional Honduran food.

Those are pizza rolls.

Oh.

The Honduran food is here.

Oh, well, that's what I want.

I'm not some boring gringo, you know.

Well, give that spice. Show me the mole.

Oh, that's it. ( Laughs )

Like at night, when you fantasize about me, do you think of a specific incident of us having s*x, or is it more just picturing me there in the moment?

Please stop.

Is it working?

Not really.

You know, this whole tent and the DJ and the centerpieces... you went... I mean, you went for it.

Yeah, yeah, I did, thank you.

It was really nice to be able to this for her.

Yeah.

And when it's time for her wedding, I will... I will handle the lion's share.
