[bunniefuu]

Thanks for coming in, guys.

It's always
a pleasure seeing you.

I mean, she's so pretty.
You're so pretty.

You know anyone
we can set her up with?

I appreciate the thought,
but I am perfectly happy

With my... Cats.

Anyway...

How would you guys feel
about adopting an older child?

Wow. Like, how old
are we talking?

Like, I've been taking care
of this one since he was 43.

(laughs)

He's been a
wonderful provider.

And he only spanks me
when I ask him to.

Wow, that is a lot to take in
before 10:00 a.M. On a Monday.

That's what he said.

Okay, please stop.

That's what he said.

Oh! The reason I bring it up
is because there is

A six-year-old boy
who's been bouncing around

The foster system for a while,

And I think he'd be
a great match for you guys.

Wow, really?

Uh, well, six
is a great age.

Potty-trained
but not ashamed of you yet.

Walden:
Well...

Well, uh, can we adopt him
right away?

Well, we'd start
with a weekend visit.

See if it's a good fit,
then, assuming it is,

You guys would become
his foster parents.

After six months,
if everyone agrees,

You can officially adopt him.

Oh, and-and-and
if we don't agree,

Can we credit those six months
to a kid that we do like?

(all laugh)

Wow, I-I always thought
we were gonna get a baby,

But I kind of like the idea
of giving an older kid a sh*t.

Well, louis certainly
deserves a sh*t.

Louis?

Louie?

Aw, sweet lou.

(bellows):
Lou!

Uh, is he married to that name
or can we change it?

Alan.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I just, you know,
I had my heart set on beckett.

Look, I'm gonna be
honest with you guys.

Louis has had a rough time.

He's been in foster homes,
group homes.

He's moved around a lot.

We thought we had him
placed for adoption

A few months ago,
but it fell through.

So he's gonna be
a little g*n-shy.

Well, don't worry about that.

I mean, I'm sure we'll have
a great time together.

Just don't expect a lot.

Same thing I told this one
on our wedding night.

Wow, I really like this idea.

I mean, I'm gonna...
I'm gonna have a son.

How cool is that gonna be?

I mean, and-and
you get to relive

All those great
father-son moments.

(laughs)

(stammers)
what is going on?

What is all this?

Oh, uh, well,
I went to the toy store

And got a few things for louis.

"a few things"?
Okay, I don't want to be the guy

To point out the 800-pound
gorilla in the room.

But there's an 800-pound gorilla
in the room.

I just want him to like it here.

Well, so do I.

But if you build disneyland
in your house,

You'll never get the thrill
of taking him to disneyland.

Ah. You're right.

Damn it. I got to cancel
mickey and minnie.

What?

Oh, I was gonna have him

Wake him up in the morning.

(imitating mickey mouse):
Hey, louis.

Ready for breakfast?

We've got orange juice

And waffles shaped just like me!

I think it's great that you're
so excited about being a dad.

And the best part is...
No stretch marks for me.

You know, you're my best friend,

But you're an odd little man.

Oh, you... Never mind.

I don't want to know.

That's a good call.

You want to talk about it?

There's a kid
showing up here tomorrow.

And he needs a dad,
and I don't know if I can do it.

What? Why not?

Well, I've never had
a successful relationship

With anyone in my life
except for you.

Four years next Thursday.

Yeah, I got your wish list.

They're just ideas.
Make it your own.

Look, the fact that you've
screwed up with women

Doesn't mean you can't
be a great father.

I don't even know
what a good dad looks like.

I mean, I know
what a bad dad looks like.

It's an empty chair
across the table from my mom.

Which later gets filled
by my "uncle kenneth"

Who sold speedboats.

And "uncle rob"
who sold insurance.

Then "uncle stan" who sold pot.

I liked uncle stan.

I get it. I didn't grow up
with a dad, either.

When jake was born,
I was scared out of my mind.

Why were you scared?
You're a great dad.

Okay, I'm gonna
tell you something

That I've, I've never
told anybody before.

When jake was a baby...

I dropped him.

Right smack on his head.

Oh, my god.

Now I feel awful
about all the times I said,

"were you dropped
on your head as a baby?"

My point is
that jake turned out fine.

I mean, sure, he had to repeat
seventh grade math

A couple of times, but he was
born at the right time.

You know? Computers.

Wait, so what you're saying is

Even if I screw up a little,
it's not the end of the world?

The fact that you're worried
about being a good dad

Is what's gonna
make you a great one.

Thanks.
Hmm.

You're a good friend.

All right.

I'm gonna go get some sleep.

Good night.
Good night.

Louis, this is walden and alan.

Hi.

You're gonna be staying

With them for the weekend.

Oh, uh, don't worry, buddy,

I was only supposed
to stay here for a weekend, too.

(singsongy):
12 years later.

Walden:
Oh, and, uh,

This is berta.
Uh, she helps

Take care of us around here.

Look at that face.

Walden, you might have
some competition

For the best looking
man in the house.

You mean so-some
more competition?

Nope.

Do you have any cheez-its?

Uh, well, if we don't,
we could get some.

Okay, I'll stay.

All right, well,
I want you guys

To get to know each other,
so I'm gonna go.

But you have my number

Oh, uh, wait.

Uh, does-does he come with an
instruction manual or something?

You'll be fine.
Bye, louis.

Uh, okay, uh...

Should we have tipped her?

You're asking me?

I don't even tip the pizza guy.

I don't like pizza.

I like cheez-its.

Oh, well, you know,
when you think about it,

A pizza is just
a really big cheez-it

With sauce.

We're gonna get
cheez-its, right?

Berta?

I'm on it.

I'll be back as
soon as I can.

And, louis?

That's the first time I ever

Said that and meant it.

Hey, louis?
Welcome to our house.

Do you want to come on in?

Oh, my god. Look at him.

He's adorable.

Alan:
I know, I know.
He's like one of those tv kids.

Maybe we can put him
in commercials.

We know he likes cheez-its.

Alan, do you really want to be

Making less money

Oh, oh, oh. Oh.

Who is that?

This is timothy.

He's a seal.

Oh! Well, hi, timothy.

I'm walden.

And I'm alan.

Timothy doesn't talk.

Oh, right, yeah.

Because he's a seal.

No, because he's a toy.

Wow. Got a lot

So, which one of you
is the mommy?

Um...
Um...

Well, that's-that's
a great question.

And one I was hoping
you wouldn't ask

In the first five minutes.

You know, see, in some families,

There's a mommy and a daddy.

But in other families,
like this one,

There's, there's two daddies.

Why?

Wow, that is
another great question.

Um... Alan?

No, no. You're doing great.

Okay, so, uh, why don't we,

We'll put it in the dresser,
and then we'll go do something.

No, I don't need to unpack.

Oh, okay.

Uh, well, then it's straight
to the good times, huh?

For king louie

I apologize.

Walden:
So, yeah,

What do you want to do?

You know, we could play a game,

We could go to the park,
we could go to the zoo,

We could go to seaworld
or disneyland

Or legoland, or we could
play legos in the house,

Or we could play house,
or we could build a house,

Or we could listen

Or-or we don't have
to do any of that.

We could...

Do something else, like...

Alan?

Uh, uh, we could,
we could go to the beach.

Oh, that's a great idea.

Oh, but where are we
gonna find one of those?

You live on the beach.

Oh! That's right!

It's your backyard.

So, what do you say?
You want to go?

Okay.

We got an okay. Okay.

To the beach we go.

both of those problems.

Berta:

Building a sand castle,

And all he did was dig a hole.

Who digs holes, alan?

Prisoners, they want to escape.

Oh, walden.

Why are the pretty ones
always so crazy?

Crazy? Am I?

Really? What about earlier
when he didn't want to unpack?

What was that all about?

Nobody likes to unpack.

Oh, is that why
you've never moved out?

Wow.

Um, misdirected anger,

You know what,
he doesn't want to be here.

I-I knew I couldn't do this.

Come on, walden,

half a day with us.

He's gonna need more time
to feel safe here.

Yeah, right.

You think he'll love me
by tomorrow?

Trust me, walden,

He'll warm up to you
just like I did.

Remember when you moved here?

I wasn't sure
I wanted you to stay.

I bought the house.

And I made it a home.

Do we have snacks?

Let's see.

Wow.

When a guy named charlie
lived here,

I had to keep this cabinet

Stocked with coke...

...Co powder.

Because he loved hot chocolate.

I like hot chocolate.

Not like he did.

You like your crackers?

Yeah.

You don't talk much, do you?

I get it.

I was a quiet child.

In fact,

You and I have a lot in common.

You like cheez-its, too?

But I was also raised

In a whole bunch
of foster homes.

You were?

Yep, and I hated it.

And no one ever offered me

Would you like to have

And then they roll around,

You know,
I bet the birds are so angry
