You had a girlfriend before mom? Try two. Trust me. I had plenty of fun in my time. And then I met your mom. And thank you. So, uh, I guess she travels around selling makeup For a cosmetics company. She's in town for a week. You mean she's like a door-to-door salesman? If you were doing it, They'd call it a dork-to-dork salesman. Ohh! My boy strikes like a rattlesnake! Oh, yeah? Well -- well, you... Wow. All right, well, we can see the movie tomorrow. Come on. It's time for your lesson. You mean her second lesson, because she just got schooled. What's wrong with me today?

They're ducks, mitchell. They don't care. We both believe that animals Should play a big part in lily's life. Having grown up on a farm, I was surrounded by them. They were more like brothers and sisters Than just, you ow, livestock. Delicious brothers and sisters. Life on a farm -- they know what they're getting into. Eesh. Wait. Oh, it's the office. Don't answer it. I have to. It's like this every Saturday. Just ignore it. Well, maybe it's not that this time. Hello? Yeah. That's nice. Holy... Shel? You all right, buddy? Oh, there's four of them, mitchell! They're giving her little duck kisses, And she -- oh, she's laughing! I can't believe you're missing this. Well, why not, cam? I've missed everything else. She rolled over when I was in phoenix. She started scooting en I was in court. Well, just tell them you're not coming in. You do enough for them. Well, you know that, I know that, you know? The only one who doesn't know that is my sucky boss. He's the suckiest suck of all time. He's a miserable son of a *** who... May have heard everything I just said. When are you getting together with your gal pal? Actually, I was just checking on that. She's supposed to send me a message. Ohh. You're facebook friends. Sure am. Oh... She's one of my 447 friends. Everybody wants a slice. How long have you two been in touch with each other? Uh, she tracked me down about a year ago. Mm. Mm, mm. What? What's -- what's that sound? Mm. Nothing. Oh. There she is right now. "how about we meet at le reve at 7:30?" Well, that sounds innocent enough. I mean, drinks with an ex-girlfriend At an intimate french restaurant. Honey, you're doing that thing Where you say what I want you to say But your tone seems mean. Let me guess - denise isn't married. Recently divorced. What's the big deal? Come on, phil. You can't be that naive. Seriously, women in their 30s on the internet are like -- They're like ninjas. They get in their little black outfits And try and sneak their way into your marriage. That's not denise. Mm. Here, read some of her messages. You're gonna feel silly. Go ahead. "hey, phil. How's it goin'?" You can't add the sexy voice. "hi, phil. How's it going?" "so glad to hear your neck is bette" Are you seriously jealous? no! I am not jealous at all. I just happen to know women better than you do, And that woman wants a slice. Okay, just to prove how wrong you are, I'm gonna invite her over here for drinks. Fine with me. Just hope it's fine with denise. "gee, phil. I really had my heart set on le reve." That voice doesn't bother me. Kind of like it! Well, has he been acting weird around you? No, no. I've been avoiding him all morning. So you don't even know if he heard you. Well, that's why we're doing this. Hey, where are you? I only have a half-hour for lunch. Hello, handsome. Okay, so, uh, this is where it happened. Just, um, turn off the phone, roll down the window, And we'll -- we'll see if you can hear me. Okay. Go around! We're re-creating a faux pas! Thank you! Okay. C-can you hear me now? Uh, yeah, but just barely. Is this how loud you were talking? Uh, well, it might have been a little bit louder. There was traffic. I mean, I almost had to shout. You almost had to what? Shout. Little bit louder now. Shout! Little bit louder now. Shout!! * hey, hey, hey, hey * Really, cam? My job is at stake here and -- Oh, w-who are we kidding? You can obviously hear me. I am so screwed. Manny? Manny, come here a second, pal. Huh? I got some bad news, buddy. What iit? Well, there's no easy way to say this. Shel turtlestein is dead. I was down here reading the paper, And I heard this commotion up in your room, so... So naturally I go running up there. And this mangy raccoon had busted through your screen. He must have scampered up to where shel was. By the time I walked in, he had him -- The little *** had him by the neck, shaking him. Gravel's flying everywhere. He didn't even flinch. He just stared at me with that smug look And then bolted. If only I'd have got here earlier. May I see the body? Baby, are you sure that's a good idea? It's something I have to do. That's him. Sorry, pal. It just doesn' make any sense. Yep. Only the good die young. But in school we leaed raccoons are nocturnal. They sleep during the day. They sure do, and this one must've got up For a midnight snack. You know, we've all done that. I guess so. Yeah. It all adds up. I don't think I can be in here right now. Too many memories. He'll be okay. You lie. What? I'm colombian. I know a fake crime scene when I see one! I was hanging up the new poster. And it fell on top of him. It was an accident. You have to tell him. No. I've been through this before. When mitchell was 9, I was suosed to take care of his bird. It got out and flew into a fan. It was like a bloody pillow fight. My god. How many pets have you killed? Just the two. I took the heat on the bird. It was a big mistake. To this day, mitchell looks at me, I see him thinking, "that's the guy who killed fly-za minnelli." And what if he finds out? Then what? You'll be the guy that killed his pet and lied to him. He's not gonna find out, because I covered my tracks. Okay. Fly-za minnelli? How did I not know that kid was gay? Hey, luke! Big day for you, huh? Why? Because you get to meet your real mom. What? We all made a pact we'd deny it until you turned 21, But that's the real reason Dad's old girlfriend is coming over. She's your mom, and if she likes you, You'll go live with her. I'm not adopted. I'm asking mom. You mean mrs. Dunphy? She's not going to tell you the truth. I-I-I'm not... I know. Unh! Just 'cause he called you a dork-to-dork salesman? The empire strikes back. Raccoons have five toes. What's that? I don't mean to bother you. It's just confusing. The footprints in my room only have four toes. You know, I bet I know wt happened. I'll bet he lost those toes in a fight. And that guy looked like he'd been in a brawl or two. One toe from each foot? Maybe. Y-you know, manny, I think the only thing that's gonna get you To stop asking all these questions Is for you to have a little closure. What do you mean? Well, I'd like to throw a little memorial for shel. It'll be good for all of us. That way, we get our grief out, And then we never have to talk about this ever... Ever again. hi! Oh, careful, there's a thing. Ooh. That's a... good to see you. Hi! Hi! Oh, my gosh! Hi, I'm claire. You must be d-- o-kay. Whoa. Okay. Denise.

What? Uh-oh. Oh, no. Yeah. He had a boombox and a piece of cardboard in his locker. And what was your dance name? O-zone. Yeah. I drove him to a "star search" audition.

Ohh. ...A gorgeous house, and those kids. I could take luke home with me. Well, be my guest. Seriously. You go right ahead. No! I like it here! Unh!

Now, I know it's a Sunday, but, uh, You think you can be on time, okay? Actually, um... I-I have plans tomorrow. Uh, so I won't be here. I-I have plans to stay at home with my family And do absolutely nothing, okay. But I will see you on Monday. Mm-hmm. So -- so you're in charge now, is that it?

"I said a lot of things to my friend, "but the one thing I never got to say was... Goodbye." Stop! I know what really happened. You do? I left a bag of chips near my bed.

Waiting. Waiting for what? The truth. It wasn't a raccoon, was it? Oh, all right, you got me. I killed shel. All right? I'm sorry. It was an accident. Why didn't you just tell me?
