Kevin.

Come here, son.

That's a battleship.

You always wanted a battleship, didn't you?

Kev, you know where I keep my gun?

Yes, you do.

I want you

go get my gun and bring it to me.

I can't.

No, I can't.

Mom's up there.

You can, Kev.

Be brave, listen to your father.

Don't point that at me.

Safety first.

Good boy.

Trading Places, Dan Aykroyd.

Coming to America, Eddie Murphy.

Ooh, uh, 48 Hrs.

Ah, what's the other guy?

Nick Nolte.

Farewell to the King.

What? No, what's that?

That's a Nick Nolte movie.

No, it is not!

That's not a movie at all!

That is too obscure!

Farewell to the King?

Babe, you're killing me.

I might not even survive this road trip.

Just wait till you meet my mom.

Oh, that's a 1977 Gremlin.

Man, that's a rare car.

Nice ride?

No, piece of shit, but, you know,

it's beautiful.

Like my baby.

Oh! What, I'm a piece of shit, but beautiful?

Okay, start again.

Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Oh, shit.

This chocolate one's incredible.

Thanks.

So, when's the big date?

- October... - July.

27th.

July.

Mm-hmm.

She caught us red-handed.

We better decide on an actual date before we get to Oregon.

What for? Let's just spring it on people.

Oh, man.

I'm really just not good at this.

What are you playing?

I was trying to play Neil Young.

- You were? - And apparently, I'm not Neil Young.

I love you so much.

I love you.

Who keeps calling?

The shop.

Doesn't Eddie know you're on vacation?

He does, yeah, but there's a... new caddy came in,

and he doesn't know shit about caddies, so, I'll call him back.

Okay, in here.

And that.

Okay, and then your pinky in here.

Mm-hmm.

Good job, and now your middle finger, the one I see most...

- Oh, yeah. - Oh, okay.

I was close that time.

You were, yeah, but that's it, peanut. That's, uh, that's the last time.

I can't do it.

Well, people with hooks for hands are better at that than you.

It's a useless skill and you know it.

You're just jealous.

Okay, I'm gonna go for a run.

Ah!

- You good? - Yeah.

Yeah, we're just gonna eat and go to weird places and take our time, and.

I don't know, have an adventure.

So, flying in an airplane isn't enough of an adventure anymore?

Alex has this distant cousin who lives along the way. We're gonna visit him.

I thought he didn't have any living relatives.

Yeah, it was hard, but I managed to track one down.

I just really want Alex to have at least one blood relative at the wedding.

He's always been on his own.

Well, he's not anymore.

- He has you, and that's plenty. - Thanks, Mom.

Okay, so, biggest lake in the country is...

Michigan.

No, wait, wait, Superior.

Yes.

Greek goddess who married the god of love.

Psyche.

Come on, give me a hard one.

Show me your smile.

You'll have to do better.

Good.

Now go get dressed.

This chicken is amazing, Annie.

This is a real treat.

- Thanks. Annie never disappoints.

So, Alex, Lisa mentioned you're still renting.

We are looking for a house, and, uh, I know you work in that field, so...

- Oh, mostly I do commercial real estate. Right.

Industrial parks, stuff like that.

What about you, Alex, what do you do?

I got a little shop, and we restore old cars.

Classic stuff.

Cool.

What about you, Lisa? What do you do?

I teach middle school English.

So does Annie, she teaches too.

No way.

Yeah, American history.

Don't all those kids make you want to have your own?

One day, maybe.

Sooner than that by the look in your eye.

You think about it, don't you?

I do.

What's holding you up?

I want to be good at it.

Aw, no waiting for that.

You just gotta wade in.

What's wrong, Alex?

You afraid?

I'm... I'm not ready. Neither of us are ready.

Oh, you're wrong, Alex.

She's ready.

She is ready.

Hey, here's to Alex and Lisa, and to the family chin and the dimple,

I see you have that, too, you lucky so-and-so.

Cheers.

Thank you for coming.

These people are so weird.

I promised I'd have a drink with Glen.

- Okay. - I'm sorry.

It's fine.

You guys gonna do some man stuff?

Smoke some cigars?

Smoke cigars, be manly.

That's what you want for me though, right?

- Of course. - Okay.

Just don't come back with a mustache.

I won't.

You have no idea what it means to me, you two coming out and making the connection.

Yeah.

I love your home, Glen.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Wish I had something like this.

Your beautiful wife and daughter?

Molly's not my daughter.

Weird.

I thought I saw a resemblance.

No, she's not mine.

Right.

But we're trying.

Do you remember when your parents passed?

Uh, yeah, I was five.

I have one memory, I guess.

We were at the beach, building sand castles, and... and the tide came in,

filled up the castle with all these tiny little crabs.

Yeah.

In case you get thirsty.

Thank you.

You're the one who looked up Glen, right?

Yeah.

Who's Kevin...?

Find him.

Is he a relative?

Annie!

Lisa's quite the beauty.

Yeah.

How long you two been together?

Three years.

And you only just got engaged?

What were you waiting for?

I wasn't ready, you know, but now I am.

The wandering eye kept you from seeing what was right in front of you, huh? (CHUCKLES)

Alex.

I didn't mean to scare you.

He really snores like a freight train, doesn't he?

I'm... I'm used to it.

He'll be fine down there. I'll throw a blanket on him.

My gosh.

You really are a heartbreaker, aren't you?

You have to leave now.

Alex, Alex, Alex! Alex, Alex! Alex, baby, wake up.

Baby, wake up.

What's going on?

We're going.

Why?

Just come with me.

That guy was such a creep.

What were you guys even talking about all night?
