"If you are ever in Denver..." " Oh." " Look me up." "Put my home phone number on the back of the card there." "Carpet King." "I met someone, he gave me his card." "I haven't used it." "I, uh, brought Mom a toilet 'cause I broke hers." " Is she here?" " She ain't here, honey." "Where is she?" "Ladies and gentlemen, flight 543 to Denver will be boarding shortly." "Welcome to the Denver International Airport." "For up to date flight information, please check our overhead monitors," "Thank you and enjoy your stay." "Taxi!" "Taxi person!" "Oh, these mountains." "Oh, it's my first time here." " Well, welcome." " Thank you." "And the air, it's refreshing." "Don't you find it refreshing?" "Oh, yeah." "Yeah." "Oh, and you have that omelet everyone loves." " Sure." " They talk about it everywhere." "It's on every menu." "Oh, I love Denver." "Oh." " I'm here." " Excuse me?" "Christine Baskets." " Oh." " Guest of the day." "Yeah, the computer just does that at random." "Oh." "Well, you thank that computer for me." "Okay." "Um, it just means you get 10 percent off a pay-per-view movie." "Oh." "Could I trade that in for a free breakfast?" "I can look into that for you." "Thank you." "So, what brings you to Denver?" "Oh, I'm just, uh, passing through." "Hi, this is Ken." "I'm out right now, but if you leave a message," "I'll get right back to you." "Hi, Ken." "Christine Baskets from Bakersfield." "I hope you're well." "I'm sure you're very busy, uh, as a carpet king, and, uh, hey, I'm in Denver, so, uh, I thought I would give you a call." "I'm at the Extended Rest Hotel downtown." "So, this is my number." "Uh, call me or don't call me or call..." "Okay." "Bye, Ken." "Thank you." "Hi." "Um, yeah, I had a question." "How's your water quality here in Denver?" " I wouldn't drink it." " Oh." " Yeah." " Well, uh, could I get, uh, a bottle of tonic water then?" " Sure." " With a glass of ice and a twist of lemon?" " Sure, I'll send that right up." " What was your name?" " Catherine." "Catherine, oh, I've always loved that name." " Beautiful day, huh?" " Sure is." " Thank you, Catherine." " Thank you." "Have a nice day." "Finding the right chair is hard." "Incredible inven..." "You can get your dream kitchen for..." "To the DCPA's credit, this thing hasn't happened at all before." "In fact, this is a rarity, and so they apologize to all those folks." " Those folks..." " 44 will be the coolest that we've had." "You have to go back to August..." "To the north and west..." "Back out toward the northwest plateau," "Craig Beeker, that is a freeze warning." " Basically, if you had..." " Oh, shit." "I'm sure the check is in the mail." "Hello." "Can you hold on a second, please." "Hey, Ellen." "It's the joy of teaching which is the reward." "Okay?" "Go for Dr. Baskets." "Dale, I need you to run an errand for me tomorrow." "That is a giant no, Mother." "I am knee deep in lazy teachers." "Knee deep!" " Excuse me?" " I said I am knee deep in lazy teachers, you witch!" "Dale, I think you owe me." "You and your brother ruined my house." "You wrecked the whole place." "Mother, I texted you an apology already." "What else do you want me to do?" "I gotta go." "Bye." "Dale..." "Oh, you brat." "♪ And the squawk box goes to sleep ♪" "Yes." "Oh, hold on one second." "Can you hold this for a second?" "Hi, Mom." "Chip, I'm out of town, and I need you to do something for me tomorrow." "Yeah, yeah, okay, for sure." "Meemaw has a doctor's appointment tomorrow, there's a reminder on the fridge." "Can you do that for me?" "So, does that mean that you're not mad at me anymore?" " Don't push it." " Okay, that's good enough, 'cause it's anchored to my skivvies." "You can have a seat." "What is that?" "I hear balloons." "I'm actually, uh..." "I'm doing birthday parties now." " Oh." " Yeah." " Well, that's good." " Yeah, yeah, it is good." "So, okay, uh, take Meemaw to the doctor, got it, and I'll do a good job of that." "I won't let you down, okay?" "I promise." " Thank you, Chip." " Thank you, Mom." "Where are you, by the way?" " I gotta go." " You outta town?" "Mom?" " You doin' okay?" " Hi." " Hey, Mom, what's goin 'on?" "How are you, Cody?" "All is well." "How are you, Mom?" " Where's Logan?" " Uh, he's sleeping." "Oh, God, he always was a sleeper." " Man, you know that." " You have a lot of energy, more than him." "Um, I have a little surprise." "Please share." "What is it, what is it?" "Guess where I am?" " Um..." " Denver." "Really?" "What's goin' on over there?" "I'm in Colorado." "Wow." "Hey, so I'm here for a few days." "Any tips or things or ideas, uh, stuff I might do for fun?" "Uh... yeah." "Actually, you can do some cool mountain biking while you out there." "But Mom, while you're there, do not do any MDMA." "Okay?" " MDMA?" " Yeah." "That sounds terrible." " Yeah, it was." " Yeah." "Must be very sunny to have to wear those sunglasses where you are." "Oh, these?" "Nah, it's just that, you know, a long night last night." " Eyes a little baggy." " Yeah." " So, anyway..." " Well, you look terrific." "Thank you." "All right, Mom, well, I gotta go." "Ohh." "Okay." " Okay, well, love you." " Love you." " We love you." " Be good." " Enjoy Colorado." " I will." "All right, peace out, Mom." " Bye." " Bye." "Here you go, ma'am." " My first Denver omelet." " Yeah." "Well, when in Rome." "You know, I think it was actually invented in New York City." "Oh." "Okay." " Enjoy." " Thank you." "Hi, this is Ken." "I'm out right now, but if you leave a message, I'll get..." "Could I get the check?" "Say, I was wondering, if I checked out a day early, would I still get all my Extended Rest rewards points for the entire stay?" "I can look into that for you." "Thank you." "Have a good night." " Watch your step here." " I will." "Those plants, they don't look nice anymore." " They're okay." " Hey, where are we going, anyway?" " Uh, I'm gonna take you to the doctor." " No!" " I don't need to go to a doctor, no." " Meemaw, Meemaw..." " No, no, no." " Meemaw, I promised..." "I promised my mom that I would take you to the doctor, okay?" "Okay." "Then I'm gonna drive." "You're not gonna drive, Meemaw." " I'm gonna drive." " No." "Too many DUls." "Hey, scoot over, four eyes." " Oh..." " Come on, come on." " Martha, just..." " But you're not..." "You're not on my insurance policy." "Oh, we won't tell anybody." "Well, legally, I have to call the police if you drive." "Legal, schmegal." "Move over, honey." "Wow." "Ten years I haven't driven." "Chip, what's new?" "What's happening at the Arby's?" "Uh, I don't work there anymore." "I'm a professional clown." "Oh." "So, that means you're the breadwinner, Martha, darling?" "What do you mean?" "A man shouldn't rely on his wife for money, Chip." " That's what I mean." " We're not a thing." " We're not married." " Oh, no." "You're not married?" " No." " No, we're just friends." " Aren't you pregnant?" " No, I'm not..." "I'm not pregnant." "What happens, Martha, if you have a child out of wedlock?" "You'd better do something." "You'd better pop a question today." "Would you just pull over, Meemaw, and let Martha..." " Martha, would you drive?" " No, no, no." "We're on vacation." "Your mom's out of town." "She left me in charge for once." "No, she left me in charge, by the way, Meemaw." "Wait, where are you going?" "Um, just making a stop." "Well, you have an appointment." "I do, but you know what?" "Meemaw." "Hello." " Hello." " Hi, Christine?" " Hi." " Hi, it's Ken." "How are you?" "I'm good." "Sorry it took me so long to call you back." "Hey, but you're here." "That's amazing." " Yes." " So listen, uh, do you have any plans for lunch?" "Lunch?" "No." "Well, my daughters are fixing me lunch." "Why don't you come over?" "Uh, I don't want to impose." "You're not imposing." "How about I pick you up around noon?" "Noon?" "Okay." "All right, I'll see you at noon." " All right." " Bye." "Noon." "Oh, go ahead." "I've got to go back up to my room." "I'm just saying these new micro fibers are taking" " the carpet industry by storm." " Uh-uh, Dad." "Okay, she doesn't care about this stuff." "Okay?" "Oh, I find it fascinating, especially that you have a family business." "It all looks so fun." "Oh, it can be." "I guess most days we're either having fun, or ready to strangle one another." "Were you interested in carpets as a child?" " Well..." " Oh, I think he came out the womb" " with a book of swatches." " No, stop that." "No, now, when we first got started, it wasn't about carpets," "I just wanted a family business." "I just came to love carpets." " Oh." " So, what are you doing in Denver?" "Uh... um, my flight had a layover, and then it was canceled, and, uh, I was out, um, following my sons who are DJs." " Oh." " Uh-huh." "Uh, they're names are Logan and Cody." "They call themselves the Loco Twins." "Which I guess, in Spanish, means crazy." "Uh, maybe you know them?" "Um, I don't think so." "Oh." "Well, they opened for the Chemical Brothers." "Oh, I think I heard of them." " Yeah, yeah, yeah." " They're very well respected." "Wait, the Chemical Brothers?" "I don't think..." "Oh, you've heard of them." "Wait, wait, wait, look." " Look, look, look." " Oh, yes, yes, yes." "The Chemical Brothers, okay." "Uh-huh." "Oh, they have their own Wikipedia article, and everything." "Wow." "Now, they're real brothers, right?" "Well, I would hope so." "Well, this is nice." "Very impressive, huh?" " Yes, it is." "It's cool." " Very nice." " That's cool." " I am done with my tomato cutting." "Oh, thank you, Christine." "We're just gonna throw those in the salad." " Okay." " And let's eat." " It's time to eat." " 'Cause we're hungry." " Yeah, I'm hungry." " And I'm saying the blessing this time." "Daddy, don't be too long winded this time, please." "Make it two minutes this time, two minutes." "Okay?" "I'm gonna say "Jesus wept." We gonna be right out of here." " He knows how you..." " He gonna talk about Jesus for 20 minutes." "He know he wept, okay?" "He did the weeping." "Let me get this bread." "All right, we gotta get her to the doctor." "What are we still doing here?" "Um, you know what?" "I got my niece and nephew to the dentist last week with some cookies." "I probably still have some." "Yeah?" "What kind are they?" "Mint Milano." "She only likes Chips Ahoy, unfortunately." "Well, how would your mom handle it?" "Well, she would just eat the Milanos." "Or the Chips Ahoy." "No, I mean how would your mom handle your grandmother?" "Oh, she wouldn't put up with this, she'd just put her foot down." " Hit me, hit me." " Well, why don't you try that?" "Oh, she's my grandmother." "I don't want to do that." "Plus, she doesn't respect me because she thinks I'm an idiot clown." "Well, you could... you could make her respect you." "I mean, that's what your mom does." "Maybe be a little forceful with her, and tell her we gotta get out of here." "Yeah, you can do it." " What's that?" " Um, high five." "For what?" "I was trying to help you get pumped up." " Okay, let's do it." " It's too late." "Meemaw, we're leaving right now, okay?" "Okay, mister serious man." "Hit me." "I won!" "Can we get the cookies, please?" " Esther!" " Huh?" "Enid!" "Hey, it's free drinks and dollar steaks in the caf." "Let's go." "Oh!" "I'm coming." " Should I get some more cookies?" " Yeah." "And Werther's Originals." "Do you have those?" "Yes." " I can't believe you have this." " Yeah, well..." " It's cute, isn't it?" " Oh, it is." " Yeah, Reagan." " I loved your daughters." " Oh, yeah." " And the spaghetti." "Yeah, I'm a very lucky man." "Especially with Darla with all her troubles over the years." "Those two have been my bedrock." "Yeah, I'm sorry about Darla." "How's she doing, uh..." "How's she doing in prison?" "I think she's okay." "You know, I learned something." "Sometimes you just have to let your kids... sit in their own mistakes." "Sometimes you can't fix 'em." "Yeah." "Well, I should get back to the hotel." "You know, I'm guest of the day." "Say, listen, we have a half a pitcher of sangria, it's still early." "Come on, hang around a while." "Okay." "Let me pour you some." " Oh." " Oh!" "Oh, I'm so sorry." "No, no, no, don't worry about it." "Don't worry about it." "It's okay." "No, I'm gonna show you something." "You're gonna love this." " I'm such a klutz." " No, you're not a klutz." "Stop it, you're not a klutz." "That's what I've been sayin', I've been waiting to show this to somebody." "Watch." "This new Stain Master, it is amazing." "It is gonna revolutionize the carpet industry." "Ready?" "Watch." "Voila!" "Oh." "That's amazing." "Isn't that something?" "Feel it." " Oh, I will." " Feels just like wool." "Oh, my God." "Wow." "Mm." "I'm so happy I'm here." "I'm glad you're here, too." "I..." "I didn't have a layover." "I know." "I just thought, well, would he..." "Would I..." "Should I go?" "Should I..." "Would he want to..." "Oh, I don't know." "Oh." " Cheers to us." " Oh, yeah." "To all us." "To us." " Ahh." " There you go." " Good." " Meemaw." " Hm?" " Can..." "Can we think about going to the doctor, please?" "Oh." "Edwin, did you hear my grandson?" "He says I have to go to the doctor." "Is that so?" "I was a doctor for 47 years." "How do I look?" "Oh, okay by me." "Yeah." " Appointment done." " Meemaw, please." "Have something to eat." "The steaks are a buck." "I'm not hungry right now." "Why not?" "Is there something wrong with you?" "No, I just..." "I promised Mom that I would take you to the doctor." "That's all." "I'm trying to be a good person here." "I'm trying to be a good son." "I'll tell your mom how fabulous you are." "I'm trying to show her that I have responsibility as well." "Okay?" "But you're doing something responsible." "You're" " You're elongating my life because you took me to have a good time with my friends." " Yeah." " What could be better?" "You think a doctor's gonna make me healthy?" "I'm healthy when I'm livin' my life." " Yeah." " Right?" "Hey, Esther, do that little dance you do." " Come on." " Hey, you should..." " You should have seen her." " No, no." " Yeah, do it." " She was really something." " Esther." " Get up there, Esther." " Get up there, Esther." " I can't." "Come on, Esther, do it." "I can't walk." "How am I gonna dance?" " Get outta here." " Okay." "Do the dance." "All right?" "Then we gotta do." " Get up there, Esther." " For you, kid, anything." " Get up." " Oh boy." "And a five, six, seven, eight." "Whoa!" "I'm so sorry, Chip." "What you thinkin' about?" "Oh." "I was thinkin' when I was young," "I couldn't wait to move out and start my own life." "I thought I'd be an actress or a successful business woman." "And then I told myself when the boys got out of the house, and started their lives, that I'd do the same thing." "And then I thought Dale had it together." "But he didn't." "He's starting over." "And, well, Chip." "I help them, I wait for them, and for what?" "My life gets lost in the shuffle." "I don't think this time" "I'm gonna be able to forgive them." "You don't have to answer." "You're a good mom, Christine." "You're also a lot more." "Hello." "I'm sorry." "Me too." "Let's go home." "I'm sorry."
