- Did you fold all of this? - Yep.
[Chuckles] It's dirty, but thank you.
Ugh. There were so many undies in it.
Ugh.
You seem relaxed.
Must be feeling good about your presentation
- for the Spring Gala. - It's no biggie.
I just have to pitch them the theme.
- Which is? - Um...
The presentation is today and you don't have a theme?
Of course I do.
[Scoffs]
Water...
blankets...
Are you just looking around the kitchen,
- calling out objects? - No.
Dirt.
Sand.
Beach blanket bingo!
In your face!
- Why is it in my face? - Okay, picture this.
Everyone on giant beach towels,
we have a picnic, and we drink that stupid pink wine.
Maybe steel drums...
Rinka-tink-tink-tink.
Tink.
Huh. That's actually a good idea, honey.
That's actually a terrible idea, honey.
The Spring Gala is a fundraiser, not a hoedown.
The whole thing is about raising money.
You want people to open their pockets.
You can take the girl out of Florida...
Oh, great. I was hoping
for a smart-ass 13 year old's opinion.
At your service.
You need a theme to get people spending.
Something that says "class," "decadence," "money."
Mine will have class.
I'm gonna rename the bathrooms "cabanas."
Stop.
It needs to be opulent.
Like a "Great Gatsby" party. Or, uh, Bollywood.
Nothing says "Write a big check"
like an elephant cloaked in velvet,
or a one-twelfth scale Taj Mahal made out of white chocolate.
You know what's easier?
Buying a bunch of blankets.
I'm doing this my way.
- But... - [Cellphone rings]
Oh, my God.
Yeah, blankets. Can't miss.
I have the perfect theme for your Gala, Mama.
"Let's get a dog!"
In case I haven't been clear,
we are never, ever getting a dog, ever.
It's like having another kid, except it sheds
and digs tampons out of the trash.
Fine.
Thanks for the backup, Franklin.
Where was that "Great thinking, Anna-Kat"
that we talked about?
What's a tampon?
I'm not Google, Franklin.
Hey, guys. My boyfriend's here.

Quite a set of pipes, Mr. Otto!

Taylor and I are gonna do some English homework.
Great. And, Taylor, remember,

Mix it up a little bit.
[Scoffs] I almost killed myself

[Gasps] It's here!
Eyo, give me a hand.
Dad, get friends.
She's joking. I've got, like, so many friends.
I thought I smelled kale.
What do you want, Tara?
Just making sure everything's safe
in this lawless house.
I trust you have a vegan lunch option for Eyo.
- We're vegan now. - Tara, you're already the worst.
Stop trying so hard.
Okay, coming through.
Oh.
Here we go.
- [Stool clatters] - Oh!
Okay, good. That needed to be broken.
So did the piano.
And your shoe. Your shoe just fell off.
And if you could dent the door on your way out,

Yeah, one second.
Who are you talking to?
- It's Nunya. - Who's that?
Nunya business. [none of your]
One of these days, I'm gonna realize
that "nunya" isn't a person.
So, have you picked out your theme yet for the Spring Gala?
Because I have a suggestion.
Call it, "Katie" colon "The Great Failure" comma
"Everyone Saw it Coming" dash dash "She Sucks."
I got it covered, Tara.
I'm thinking "Beef Jerky,"
"The Final Frontier" or "Mmm, Meat."
I'm leaving.
Call or text or e-mail

Here's his EpiPen and some toilet seat covers.
You send toilet seat covers with him everywhere he goes?
No.

While I've got you here, I wonder if you might
put in a good word with Taylor about college.
Sure. Probably would have come up anyway.
School's the best!
Thanks. Great talk.
Sorry we're standing closer than I expected.
Hi, Mrs. Otto. How are you?
Saw you three minutes ago.
Hey, you with the box, is this our next fight?
You're gonna love it. It's a roasting box.
You can cook a whole pig in here.
I saw one on Anthony Bourdain's show.
He was in Guatemala cooking with the locals.
He was wearing a tank top.
Oh, Greg, would you please,
for me, watch something with dragons?
Once I fire this up, you're gonna realize
we need a Caja China roasting box.
No.
- I need to change our Amazon password. - Think about it.
We could finally have a barbecue for all our friends.
So...
Angela and Doris?
- How long does it take to cook a pig? - Just half a day.
As long as I constantly monitor it, stoke the coals,
and make sure the temperature remains exactly correct.
We both know that this is going to end
with Anna-Kat forcing us to have a funeral
for a partially-cooked pig carcass,
and I can't fit into my funeral dress right now.
- I don't need this, Greg. - Yeah, but...
I'm afraid I have to shut this down.
- But... - I'm shutting it down.
You're probably right.
I don't really have the arms for a tank top anyway.
"No, honey, you definitely have the arms for a tank top."
Well, I think it could be fun.
It's a bad idea, Franklin.
It's a hard "no." Discussion's over.
[Sighs] But...
I said over.
I guess you're right.
Anna-Kat, can we talk to you in my office?
Uh-oh.
Franklin, this might be a while.
If you still need to go number two,
here's your window.
Your parents like me?
- Let's see who you've been talking to. - Hey!
[Gasps] Alice McCarthy?!
I thought she dumped you!
Are you crazy?
Alice McCarthy?
Yeah, I thought he stopped picking up
what she was putting down.
Did I say that right?
Yeah.
- Do I have to be here for this? - Sit.
You were very rude to Franklin.
But I didn't like his idea.
You can't shut people down like that.
Where did you get that from?
Why are you looking at me?
If you keep rejecting people's ideas,
they won't be your friend.
That's true, honey. It's important that we support
the people we care about. Okay?
- Okay. - So, for instance,
if Franklin loved Anthony Bourdain
and wanted to throw a pig roast...
Oh, that's why you were looking at me.
...what would you say to him?
I'd say, "Weird, Franklin,
but it sounds like a great idea"?
Right. And what would you say, Katie?
I would be forced to say,
"That sounds like a great idea," too.
So, it's settled. We're gonna have a barbecue
for all our friends!
So... Angela and Doris?
You know, you can roast 18 whole chickens in here?
18? Oh, thank God.
I was worried what would happen if we had to cook
17 more than usual.
You know, Katie,
this is where Anna-Kat gets it from.
She sees you shutting down my ideas
and does the same thing to poor, defenseless Franklin.
Yeah, but she also has my winning smile.
- Ding. - I'm serious.
You need to just say "okay" to me sometimes, like I do for you.
I say "okay" to you all the time.
Yeah, but that's because my ideas are always good.
Really?
Pull that thing off the steering wheel.
It's driving me crazy.
Okay.
[Laughs]
It wasn't funny.
I know. I know.
It was just the look on your face when it hit you.
[Snickers] I'm sorry.
I'm just saying it wouldn't hurt if, once in a while,
you supported me the way that I support you.
- Fine, I'll okay this, but... - No. No.
No "Okay, buts." Just, "Okay."
- Ohh-kaaay. - You know what?
You can't say it like that. Not sing-songy.
Sorry. This is new to me.
It's very hard to suppress my natural critical instincts.
But fine.
I'm saying...
okay.
Thank you.
Now, do you want to practice your presentation
- for the Spring Gala? - Eh. I'll just wing it.
The school takes these events very seriously.
Maybe winging it isn't the best idea.
Hey, if I can't second-guess your pig coffin,
there's no way you're allowed to second-guess me on this.
Ohh-kaaay.
Yeah, I can see how that's annoying.
Mm.

But it's not so easy being supportive of him.
And I don't have a good supportive smile.
It looks like there's a gun to my head

What you need is one of these.
It's a complaint bracelet.
I read about it in Good Housekeeping.
Every time you want to scream at your husband
for some boneheaded idea...

thousands of dollars of movie memorabilia.

I get a new shipment every week.
Mm. Maybe it'll also help you deal with the Spring Gala.
I am not one of those uptight moms.
It is a party, and it's six months away.
I'm not gonna let these people drive me crazy.
That's what last year's Spring Gala chairwoman,
Stacy Clouser, said.
Then she had a nervous breakdown,
had to move in with her parents
and now isn't allowed to have stuffed animals.
Because she eats them.
That's not gonna happen to me.
Okay, and now you're being annoying.
Which reminds me of Greg.
Which reminds me...
You're the guests of honor at Greg's barbecue.
And by "honor"
- I mean you're the only guests. - [Chuckles]
All right, it's all set. Now I just need the pig.
Okay, sounds great.
Why are you allowing this? What does he have on you?
Your dad asked if we could throw a barbecue,
and I said... okay.
See? It's important to be supportive
of your friends' ideas.
Then we should be supportive of my idea to get a dog.
I'm not your friend. I'm your mother.
We'll be friends when you're old enough to drink.
[Cellphone rings]
Ooh, Alice. I got to take this.
Go for Oliver.
Unh-unh!

She broke your heart when she chose that
hunky Kurt Brockwell over you.
Kurt Brockwell's 14.
Might be 15 now.
We all know what she did.
But she's the perfect balance of hot and rich.
If she wants me back, I'm crawling back!
Dad, help me out here.
Sorry, buddy, not this time.
We Otto men have a long, proud history of being wusses
and rolling over for our women, but that ends now.
- It does? - Yes. Today we make a stand.
We roast pigs in boxes, even though it's been questioned
every step of the way.
And we don't take calls from girls
who've broken our hearts...
Can we let the call go to voicemail
and listen to their sweet voices whenever we want?
No. That's creepy.
It's time for the Otto men to break
the wuss chains and man up!
Are you with me?!
I'm with you! Let's go get that pig!
Great. Now grab your sweater!
Yes! It gets breezy in the late afternoon!

High school's great,

You know, you get to be on your own...
Did my dad put you up to this?

College is where you get to focus on
what you're passionate about.
For me, it's about becoming an anesthesiologist.
That's your passion? To be an anesthesiologist?
That and finally trying bologna.
Anesthesiology is what your mom wants you to do.

any one of these little guys for you.
Or you can do it yourself.

into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
I told him it was stupid, but then you said
I should say, "Okay."

Why didn't you just return him?
'Cause he's so sweet, and if I brought him back,
they'd just sell him to someone else who'd eat him.
Yeah. Because he's food.
- What are you doing? - It's a complaint bracelet.
You snap it so you don't tell your husband
what an idiot he is.
If I hadn't brought a pig in this house,
I'd have a real problem with you wearing that.
If the pig is in our bedroom,
then what are you cooking in that box?
Two briskets. I stopped by the deli on the way home.
I don't have time for this right now.
I have to give my presentation to the Gala Board.
Do you want to rehearse with me?
Nah, I got this.
Are you sure? You're not the greatest at winging it.
You tried to wing our wedding vows and wound up just
repeating my vows back to me, only adding a few
"totally totally's."
Like, I said, "You are my sun and moon,"

"You are totally totally my sun and moon."
