P.J., I got good news and bad news.
Okay, what's the bad news?
It's time for the annual fishing trip with dad.
What's the good news?
It's your turn to go.
What? Hold on.
I went last year. It's your turn to go.
Yeah, but when you're out of the house, I'll be the one going every year.
Come on, everyone knows I'm never leaving.
Just can't hear that same stupid joke dad tells every year.
You mean the one where he passes gas
and goes, "hey, I didn't know this was a motorboat"?
Hey, boys, who wants to go fishing with dad?
He does. He does.
You know what? You can quit your arguing.
'Cause this year I rented a bigger boat. You both get to go.
Yay. Yay.
I just hope it ain't a motorboat.

"What did you get for number four?"
Why didn't you just look at my paper?
That would be cheating.
If I text, it's just friends hanging out.
You spent the whole weekend with her, Harry.
Should I leave? They have this fight all the time.
You should be home with your wife,
not out there with your hands all over her.
Her name is Gracie.
I'm sorry, I can't just sit here and listen to this,
you two need to work this out.
Now whoever this Gracie is...
She's a car. She's a car.
Of course she's a car.
I'm so glad I could help.
She's an old car
that's taking my spot in the garage.
When are you gonna get rid of that thing?
I am not selling my baby to some stranger.
Actually, I've been thinking about buying a car.
Do you hear that, Harry?
I don't know her that well.
Oh, come on, she's practically family.
Well...
I guess I could consider it.
Teddy, would you like to meet Grace? Sure.
I'll take you right out as soon as you wash your hands.
Tomorrow is gonna be such a tough day.
It sure is.
You have no idea what tomorrow is, do you?
No, ma'am, I do not.
It's Charlie's first day of preschool.
And I'm not looking forward to it because she's gonna be crying and screaming
and grabbing onto my legs like all the kids did.
Honey, if you want, I'll take her.
And miss all that? Are you crazy?
Hey, Mom, Dad, can I talk to you guys for a sec?
Sure, honey, what's up?
Okay, so Ivy's dad has offered to sell me his car.
And I'd like to ask for you guys to loan me the money.
Sure. Now before you say no,
I made this presentation and... wait. What?
We said okay.
'Cause the thing is, I kinda spent a lot of time putting this presentation together,
so I'd really like to present it.
Goodness gracious,
there's lots of graphs and charts. Yes.
I'll give you an extra 50 bucks if we can leave now.
That concludes our presentation. Okay.
Okay, here we go.
It's the first day.
It's not gonna be pretty.
Okay, now...
Mommy needs you to be brave, okay?
And I promise I'm gonna come back real soon to pick you up,
okay? Okay.
Big hugs.
That was easy.
I'm so happy that was so easy.
What happened to you? Sprained my arm so I can't go fishing.
What happened to you?
Sprained my eye.
Aw, forget it. This isn't gonna work.
Why do we always have to go fishing?
Why can't dad go with one of his friends?
Wait a minute.
You just said something really interesting.
I did? Oh shoot. Now I wish I had been listening.
If we can get dad to take some of his friends fishing,
then we don't have to go.
You're right. Okay, who are dad's friends?
Um...
He doesn't have any.
Are you sure? Think about it.
Have you ever answered the door and said, "Dad, your friends are here?"
So all we gotta do is find dad a friend.
You mean like fix him up?
That's right. We gotta get dad a dude.
Well...
I guess this is goodbye.
Mr. Wentz,
would you like a moment alone?
He slept in the back seat last night.
I just wanna make sure that you really wanna do this.
So you really wanna sell your car?
Well... He's selling the car!
Teddy, before you go,
would you take a picture of me and my special girl?
Sure.
I meant Gracie.
Of course you did.
Hey, honey, how'd Charlie's first day of school go?
Awful.
Oh no, what happened? She make a scene?
No, she didn't. She just walked through the door
without a care in the world.
What was the awful part?
I just told you.
But I know what the problem is.
Mm-hmm. Charlie is the fourth child.
So I didn't get to spend enough time with her.
We did not get enough bonding.
Okay, so with more bonding,
then she'll cry when you drop her off at school,
and that's a good thing?
Yes.
Okay, try and stay with me, Bob.
You seem a little slow today.
Hey guys, I think Teddy just pulled up in her new car.
Let's go check it out. Yeah.
Is it noticeable?
Oh, honey. Are you okay?
Yeah, no, I'm fine. Well, what happened?
I was driving home and in the middle of the road there was this squirrel.
So you swerved to avoid it and you hit something?
No, I stopped and I honked. So then someone hit you?
This is my accident. Let me tell it.
Anyway, I got out of my car and I tried to Chase it off,
but it was stuck to this huge wad of gum.
What flavor?
Who cares?
By the way, to get back to the earlier conversation,
P.J. had the most bonding time.
Anyway, while I was staring at the squirrel,
a garbage truck was backing out of an alley
and it smashed right into the car.
Do you think it can be fixed?
Honey, I'm afraid it's gonna cost more
to fix than the car is worth.
This is awful.
What's Mr. Wentz gonna say when he finds out?
Baby!
I bet he says baby.
Hey!
It's my friend Jimmy's dad here to pick up my friend Jimmy.
Come in, say hi to my dad.
Hi, I'm Mark. Bob.
I knew you guys would hit it off.
So you're Jimmy's dad?
Yeah.
And your Gabe's.
What don't you guys have in common?
So where is Jimmy?
Dad, please, we're focusing on Jimmy's dad.
Who is also wondering where Jimmy is.
Guys, enough with the Jimmy.
There are other things to talk about besides Jimmy,
like fishing, which I know you both love.
Not me. I can't do anything outdoorsy.
Allergies. Oh.
Hmm.
Sure wish Jimmy would have mentioned that in the pre-interview.
Hey... oh, sorry. Dad, I didn't realize you had company.
Bring your guy in. My guy's not working out.
I just remembered Jimmy left about an hour ago.
Bye-bye.
Dad, there's somebody I am dying for you to meet.
This is... what's your name again?
Roger. Right.
Roger, this is my dad, Bob.
How you doing? Hey.
Tell my dad what you just ordered. Dad, wait'll you hear this.
This is going to blow your mind.
The Kwikki fishy combo.
The guy comes into a chicken place and orders fish.
He loves fish. You love to fish.
Roger, Bob, perfect together.
Actually, I ordered the fish for my wife.
I hate fish.
Tease.
All right, come on, let's go.
Gabe, what is going on?
What's going on is you better stop being so fussy, mister,
or you're gonna end up alone.
Okay, Charlie, are you ready to have some fun?
Because today is mommy and Charlie day.
Yay!
Okay, let's try that again.
Today is mommy and Charlie day.
Yay!
Boy, we got some work to do.
All right, here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna play hide and seek, okay?
Cover your eyes and count to 10.
One, two... here we come.
Ahh, you found me.

What a day.
Ooh!
We laughed. We played.
We sang.
You are so gonna cry tomorrow.
Look who got out of bed, everybody.
Hi, Mr. Wentz. Hello, Teddy.
Hello, Ivy. Hello, Mary Lou.
Honey, we said our hellos
at the top of the stairs, remember?
Right, right.
I came by to see how you're doing
and to say again,
I'm so sorry about Gracie.
That's okay, Teddy.
I guess it was just her time.
I just wish I had a chance to say goodbye.
Hello, Mary Lou.
Okay, let's get you a cup of tea, okay?
Come on. Bye.
Wow. Yeah.
This is awful.
I wish there was some way I could help him.
Hey, your dad said that he just wanted to say goodbye, right?
Right. So he just needs closure.
I know how to do that.
Uh-oh. You got that crazy look in your eye.
No, this isn't crazy at all. This is good. This could work.
Did your dad and the car have a special song?
Okay, day number two.
Not gonna be easy.
All right, Charlie, we had a lot of fun yesterday, didn't we?
Yeah, we did.
So today's gonna be really hard for you, okay?
You might wanna cry.
It's okay. It's okay if you wanna cry.
But I was the Jack in the box.
That's my baby.
See that? She can't let go.
Oh hey, Dad.
Um... what's this?
We're just having a little mixer with the guys from Billy's Bait and Tackle shop.
Yeah, here, grab a drink. Mingle. Don't be shy.
Okay, you two in the kitchen now.
We'll be right back.
If you guys get hungry, there are fish crackers and yummy worms.
Water, fresh or salt.
All right, what's going on?
Nothing. Just a couple kids having a bait shop party.
That's all.
You guys don't wanna go fishing with me, do you?
Well, I wanna go fishing with you.
No, you don't. No, I really don't.
Do you think when I ask you to go fishing,
it's 'cause I wanna go fishing?
Careful. This has all the signs of a trick question.
Guys, I just wanna spend time with my sons.
I don't care what we do,
just so long we do it together.
So we can do something else besides fishing?
Guys, there's all sorts of things we can do.
We can go golfing.
We can go bowling. We can go to the movies. I don't care.
I vote for the movies. Yeah.
But we're not sitting with you.
Why not?
Well, you know how popcorn affects your stomach?
And then you make that joke,
"This movie must be rated P.U."
I got one for every venue.
Okay, all right, we're gonna get started, everyone.
I'd like to thank you all for coming and joining us
for a celebration of the life
of Gracie Wentz.
Now there's so many people here
that loved Gracie... her family, her friends,
Roy from Roy's automotive.
I know. I know.
What can I say about Gracie?
She was a giver.
In fact, she gave her life
so that a squirrel could live.
Now unfortunately, that squirrel couldn't be with us today,
but if it could, I know it would say...
"Thank you."
Does anyone else have any memories they would like to share of Gracie?
Ivy.
Come on, sweetie. You got it.
My first memory of Gracie
was when I was five years old.
We were in the garage and dad said,
"don't touch the car."
That's right. He did.
Then when I was seven,
dad was washing her and he said to me,
"don't touch the car."
Then when I was around nine... Oh, oh, oh,
I-I think what Ivy is trying to say
is that even though she never touched the car,
right? The car touched her.
No, I'm saying I wasn't allowed to touch the car.
Okay, Ivy, I think you're done.
Now Mary Lou Wentz would like to dedicate a song
to the memory of the dear departed Gracie.

and that concludes our service. What?
Read this for me. Thank you.
Apparently, CDs of this performance
will be available for purchase in the kitchen.
Well, Charlie, we both hit big milestones this week.
You started preschool and I got my first car.
Unfortunately, my milestone only lasted...
a mile.
Anyway, turns out you're very independent, which is a good thing,
not all Duncan kids let go so easily.
Do it again. Do it again.
Of course I will, honey.
Seen enough? I know I have.
Good luck, Charlie.
