  • Okay, Claire, that is just about enough.

  • Mitchell suffered a trauma, and I don't

  • appreciate your mocking tone.

  • Excuse us. Okay.

  • Thank you. Sweetie. Okay, look, we.

  • Both know two things for certain.

  • I look fabulous in coral, and you didn't

  • fight off any intruder.

  • There is a back story.

  • In the summer of 1984, inspired by the

  • Karate Kid, I went through a martial arts

  • phase. When cam brought those nunchucks

  • home. It was just too much to resist.

  • Hello old friend.

  • 30 years later, once again, it was time to

  • sweep the leg.

  • Oh oh. Oh, God.

  • Oh, no.

  • Why didn't you just tell me?

  • I don't know, you walked in and you asked if

  • there was a break in and I was embarrassed

  • and possibly concussed, so I just.

  • I went with it.

  • Besides, my dad and Claire cannot know.

  • Okay. That whole Karate Kid summer, they

  • called me Kung Soo.

  • Turkey is going to be ready in ten minutes.

  • Where is Phil?

  • I'll let him know.

  • Okay?

  • Ten minutes.

  • I can't take it.

  • Just breathe. Dad, we are breaking this fear

  • of yours.

  • I'm dying here.

  • Hey, hey, hey, look at me.

  • Do you want to spend the rest of your life

  • as an open space magician?

  • Yeah.

  • Peace was restored, and we bestowed them with

  • our nation's highest honor.

  • Naming football teams for them.

  • Joe, what play is this?

  • I wasn't in a play. I don't go to school

  • anymore.

  • Oh.

  • All right. Fine. We got kicked out.

  • Okay. A little argument with the principal.

  • You've been lying to me while I was

  • celebrating you as an amazing father.

  • Hey, Gloria. This is weird.

  • I downloaded your my step counter data onto

  • my computer, and it's showing your path.

  • This morning was the same route my mom took

  • in her race. Mm.

  • I was never going to get 100,000 steps.

  • But then I learned that Claire was going on

  • a turkey trot.

  • The second time I hugged her, it was a

  • little harder because she was really wet.

  • So I'm basically just your step counter mule.

  • I thought you cared about my race.

  • I love you very much, Claire, but your

  • exercise doesn't really interest me.

  • Hang on. When did Claire run past Pritchett's

  • closets? Because this thing says she never

  • got near it.

  • Well, that's probably the step counter.

  • Made a

  • Mistake.

  • Oh, yeah? Did it or did you take a little

  • shortcut? No.

  • I was probably going so fast, I couldn't even

  • keep up with me. I have a picture of it,

  • Luke. There you go.

  • That is me clearly running in front of

  • Pritchett's closet.

  • Oh, yeah? Yeah, with the Reagan Bush poster

  • in the window. Huh?

  • The photo is a fake.

  • It's not my fault.

  • Manny made

  • It. Manny was photoshopping everything, so

  • Joe was in real danger.

  • I did not realize how easy it would be for

  • you to connect those dots.

  • Pretty disappointed in you, Luke.

  • Well, you know, it's easy to see where he

  • learned it from. His mother is a cheater.

  • What?

  • Oh, don't get so hot and bothered.

  • Your makeup's already running.

  • And what, do you have a Chinese character on

  • your bruise?

  • It's probably an imprint from the Intruder's

  • ring. I'm sure he was in a gang of some

  • sort.

  • Just give it up, Mitchell.

  • He knocked himself out with some nunchucks

  • that I confiscated as acting vice principal.

  • Oh, my God, Kung Su is back!

  • Daddy! Did you hear that?

  • But cam?

  • Cam didn't really win the football game.

  • He stole the last play from the lady coach.

  • Accidentally, I overheard it on a walkie

  • talkie that I require as an acting vice

  • principal, which is a position I'm pretty

  • proud of because I'm basically a sheriff.

  • You're not. Yes.

  • I am basically a sheriff.

  • I wear a hat. I have a badge.

  • Hey, dad is doing

  • His trick, and he's never done it

  • Before. He could die.

  • Come on. What trick?

  • Oh, Phil, honey, wait.

  • You don't have to do this. Yes, I do.

  • I'm the only loser

  • In a remarkable family of winners.

  • No, no, no, we are not all winners.

  • It turned out we all stink.

  • It doesn't matter.

  • I don't want to live a life

  • Ruled by fear.

  • I have to do this trick today.

  • Although it is getting hard to breathe.

  • Don't stop, Dad. You can do this.

  • I believe in you.

  • Not helping, honey. Vvery interesting.

  • Okay, I'm just going to try to barrel through

  • this. It's Normandy.

  • I'm an American gGI named Tony Rosetti.

  • I'm from Brooklyn, and I love my mama's home

  • cooking.

  • But I don't think I'm gonna be able to get

  • out. Please keep talking as Tony Rosetti or

  • as Phil?

  • What is wrong with you Cowards?

  • Phil needs help.

  • Kung Sue's back at it.

  • Oh! Oh, it's too late to get out.

  • No. This was a mistake.

  • Something's wrong. Dad.

  • Oh, God. Phil! Phil!

  • Oh my God, we're.

  • Holy crap. Where'd he go?

  • Private Renzetti reporting Operation Overlord

  • is a success.

  • Oh, cocktails are on me.

  • That was amazing.

  • I gotta hand it to you, Phil.

  • You get the big turkey leg.

  • Let's take this party to the table.

  • Come on, hippies.

Okay, Claire, that is just about enough.
