Six days to Disney World!
We are going to Disney
world in six days, people!
It is six days away! Can you believe it?!
Sue, really, you have to pace yourself.
I know it sounds like I'm
raining on Sue's parade,
but you got to understand
this started the day she won the trip.
Ooh, sorry, sorry.
Hey, she didn't say anything today.
You get the idea.
I'm gonna go work on my Disney binder.
Right now, it's 800 pages,
but I think I should pare it down.
Oh, by the way, we need more
computer paper and glitter.
Well, that's a heavy sigh of excitement.
Can you get the blue bag down for me?
Why don't I just save you some time?
I'll fill it with food,
and we'll throw it on the side of the road.
I know, right?
I mean, it's a free vacation.
It's good.
Yeah.
It's great.
And I know it'll be fun once we get there.
It's just that the getting
there is such a thing.
Yeah, I feel like we're already here.
We've got to get there.
I can see the whole trip.
I know what's coming.
Okay, somewhere along the way,
the blue bag will disappear,
then you'll throw your back out,
Sue will cry, Axl will snark,
Brick will lose something,
we'll lose Brick,
and then we'll all start fighting.
- But it's good.
- Yeah.
Hey, since we're traveling
to Florida anyway,
can we stop in North Carolina
and see my girlfriend.
Wait, is this the girl you've
been playing computer games with?
'Cause she's not your girlfriend.
She's not even a friend.
In fact, she may not even be a girl.
Oh, she is very much my girlfriend.
We're on level 7 of
"The Mists of Khartoum.
"
Last week, I gave her a conjuring wand,
and she gave me two cloaking potions, so
Yeah, it's pretty serious.
Okay, so, you want us to drive
hundreds of miles out of our way
so you can visit a girl you've never seen
- or actually spoken to.
- Right.
So, what day should I
tell her we'll be there?
What are you doing?
Why are you sitting here?
Relax.
I just want to talk.
I'm, uh, kind of wondering what it's like
to try something and fail,
which is why I'm coming to you,
the biggest failure I know.
Aww.
Wait.
Did you try at something?
What? No.
Shut up.
You did!
You tried at something.
Is it ventriloquism? Is it yoga?
Is it trying to get a butterfly
to land on your finger?!
No!
What are you ev look,
fine.
I tried at school, okay?
Axl, that's amazing!
Isn't it just so fun to try your hardest?
So, what's the problem?
The problem is I'm waiting
for them to post the Grades.
You know, I've always been
maybe a smart guy who didn't apply himself.
But if I apply myself and
fail, I might just be dumb.
So then you'll try again.
You know what, Sue? Your advice sucks.
You failed at this conversation.
Well, I'm gonna keep trying!
Mom is moving out!
I knew it!
I knew she didn't have the
stomach to go the distance.
You're not gonna believe this.
I'm packed.
I'm totally packed.
I even bought one of those
mini travel toothpastes,
which is already in my toiletry bag.
Old people brag about the weirdest things.
No, you know, last night,
your dad and I were talking,
and we realized that
every time we take a trip,
the same thing happens, right, Mike?
Back, cry, forget, snark, fight.
And nobody likes that.
Do you like that?
No.
No.
No.
No.
Nobody does.
And then it hit me.
It doesn't have to be that way.
We won a free trip to Disney World.
We won new luggage.
We're winners, and we have to
start thinking like winners.
I'm all for it, but you're
fighting History here.
Well, if we start to feel crabby Mike
Or start to get negative Axl
We'll have a safe word that
will remind us that we're winners
and bring us back to our winning attitude.
How about "Sue's a freak"?
- That's a phrase, not a word.
- Oh!
How about "Orlando"?
Orlando.
Orlando.
It works.
I'd like to revisit the whole
not-visiting-my-girlfriend decision.
- Uh-huh.
- I don't
think you're quite getting
what this means to me
emotionally, socially,
in my development as a man.
I mean, this is my first real relationship.
Tanya and I have chatted every
night for the last two months.
Plus, I've kind of already
promised her we're coming.
So, what are you thinking?
That I should know
that my son's been online
with a girl every night.
Do they sell alcohol at Disney World?
So many things.
The answer was still no.
Unfortunately, Brick's mind
was less scattered than mine,
and he remained focused on just one thing.
I wouldn't ask if we weren't already
going in that general direction.
It's just that Tanya really understands me.
What if we eventually get
married and have grandkids?
And years later, you'll say,
"thank God we went to North Carolina.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have
these adorable grandkids.
"
I hear they have good
jams in North Carolina.
Plus, they're famous for their pecans,
and they're the third largest
producer of sweet potatoes.
You love sweet potatoes.
Look, Brick, I do love sweet potatoes,
but I'm not the one you got to convince.
So, Mike
I wanted to talk to you about something.
I know this is gonna
sound a little crazy
Well, a lot crazy, super-duper crazy
But maybe we should think
about going to North Carolina.
You're kidding.
Frankie
You were the one who's been talking about
how this is gonna be a winning trip.
And now you're throwing that into the mix?
That's not Orlando thinking.
Okay, look, Brick and this
girl have a connection.
Brick has a connection
with another human being.
I mean, I saw a picture.
She looks cute.
Seriously? North Carolina?
W-why can't he find someone here in Orson?
He's known here, Mike.
You're lucky we're not
having to go off to Europe.
I mean, look, they have
been talking for two months.
You know he said something weird.
And they're still together.
That has to mean something.
Yeah, that she's even weirder than he is.
Yeah, well, so what if she is?
This is someone Brick likes
and has liked for a
significant amount of time.
That's huge for Brick.
I mean, it all sounds very Orlando to me.
So, we're just gonna show up
at some girl's house in North Carolina.
That is the craziest
thing you've ever said.
Okay look at it this way.
What if, by some miracle,
she turns out to be the
right person for him,
the love of his life, and
they end up getting married
and giving us adorable grandkids.
Yeah, he tried that on
me, too.
What else you got?
Hey.
What's wrong?
Grades are up.
Ohh, no, I can't look.
You look for me.
Uh you got a "B".
I got to be what, Sue?
- No, in English, you got a "B".
- What?
- I got a
"B"? - Mm-hmm.
You're kidding.
Uh, what about psychology?
Oh, a "B"!
And History?
- Another "B".
- World religions?!
A B-minus.
- Which still counts as a "B".
- Mm.
I got all B's.
You can't get any better than that! Whoo!
I got all B's!
- What?
- Yeah!
I got all B's in college.
I got all B's.
I'm a straight-up "B" student!
- Oh, my God! Axl, we're so proud of you!
- Way to go, Axl! Wow.
Yeah.
You know what this means?
In your face!
What? What are you talking about?
The deal.
Don't you have a test tomorrow?
I got it under control.
Relax.
Okay, fine, we'll leave you alone.
But if you don't get at
least B's this semester,
you're moving home.
Fine, but if I do get all B's,
you can't talk to me all summer.
- Fine.
- Yeah, you got it.
Bam! Have a great summer.
I'll hear you in September.
Come on, Axl.
The point
is you did a great job,
- and we're proud of
- I'm sorry.
Why are you talking to me?
You're not allowed to talk to me.
We're not going the whole summer without
Ba-ba-ba-buh-buh.
Save
it for September 1st.
I'll "B" in my room B'ing awesome.
"B" -bye.
Ooh, Brick, come here.
I have a really big surprise for you.
What is it?
Well, your dad and I talked it over
Not because you were bugging me
And we have decided that we are gonna stop
and visit your girlfriend
in North Carolina.
Wow, that's great! Thanks! Whoop!
Whoop.
Whoop!
Whoop.
Whoop!
Whoop.
Whoop!
Yeah, we're never having grandkids.
So, finally, we were on
our way to Disney World.
And no one was more excited than Sue.
To be fair, no one was
ever more excited than Sue
about anything ever.
I made 14 different
playlists for the drive.
This one is the Disney
main street electrical parade soundtrack.
Isn't it amazing?
Let's play the license-plate game!
Oh, Indiana! One point for me.
Coming up on 1,113 miles to Disney World!
Okay, Sue, why don't we
try that every 50 miles?
And, Axl, make sure you get some rest
'cause you're coming up
in the driving rotation.
Axl? Axl?
I feel like someone's talking
to me, but that's not possible
'Cause you're not allowed to talk to me.
We're allowed to talk to you, right, Axl?
I'm not encouraging it, but, yes.
Axl, there's some basic things
we have to talk to you about.
Sue, tell Axl
there's some basic things
we have to talk to him about.
Look, I-it's just the
beginning of the summer,
and you're already failing.
We're gonna have to institute
some kind of Penalty System
so you'll learn.
I got it.
You owe me $50 every time you talk to me.
- We're not doing that.
- That's $50 right there.
- Axl, we're not paying you $50
- That's $100.
- Oh, you heard that.
- That's $150.
- You want to go for $200?
- How dumb do you think
Mike, stop talking!
So, where am I on the driving rotation?
Um y-you're like the alternate
in case we need you to drive.
- But we won't.
- But why?
You're still kind of young.
Axl drove us to Hershey
Park when he was my age.
Besides, I'm the one who won us the trip.
And you're saying you don't
trust me enough to drive?
You trusted me enough to
leave my hand on that car
for 24 hours.
I peed a little bit in my pants.
I deserve to drive.
All right, fine, you can take my shift.
Oh, no, no, no, no!
Before I'm riding in any
car that Sue's driving,
we need to be very clear on
the status of the death napkin.
Whoa! Why is it every
time we get in the car
we end up talking about mom and dad's will?
It's written on a napkin, Axl.
It'll never hold up in court.
W so how does that work?
Uh, say Sue's driving,
and mom and dad are the
only ones that get wiped out?
Okay, shh!
Look, really, the death
napkin doesn't matter anymore.
Axl's 19.
If anything happens to us,
he'll take care of all of you.
I'm gonna be doing things very differently.
First thing you're both
getting jobs right away.
Sue's gonna have to learn
how to cook, and you guys
are gonna have to start
picking up around the house.
Brick, tell your brother he's an idiot.
I don't want to say that to him.
If he's gonna be in charge of me,
I got to stay on his good side.
You're my favorite, Brick.
I
might even let you sleep inside.
- Ah.
- Why is he your favorite?
So I'm neither of my dads' favorites? Fine.
I am gonna go live with Aunt Janet.
But, wait, I am not talking about this
because no one is going to
crash and nobody is going to die.
You're right, Sue.
We're not all gonna die.
Some of us might just be
burnt beyond recognition.
If some of us are burned
beyond recognition,
can we still go to Disney World?
I mean, after we pay our
respects to the less fortunate.
Why did you look at me, Brick?
You're the one who drove
us into oncoming traffic.
You killed us all, Sue.
Good job.
- Axl.
- Hey! Stop talking to me!
- Yeah, we're not doing that anymore.
- Fine.
If you're not willing to give me
the reward that's rightfully mine,
I will just have to come up with something
of equal or greater value.
Okay, from now on, I will listen to you
provided you address me as
"Sir Axl, Duke of awesomeness.
"
Seriously? That's what you want?
I can't hear you.
That's what you want, Sir
Axl, Duke of awesomeness?
- It is-ith.
- You're
really gonna call him that?
Why does he always get what he wants?
I can't drive, but we all have to call him
Sir Axl, Duke of awesomeness?
Well, I am not gonna do that.
Well, fine, then I'm not talking
to you for the rest of the trip.
Sir Axl, Duke of awesomeness,
stop being mean to your sister!
I don't want Axl to be my dad.
Well, if Sue gets behind
the wheel, I will be!
- Stop it.
Stop it!
- Okay, let's
- She'll kill us all!
- Stop it, Axl! That is so mean!
Let's cut the talk about
the fiery crash, okay?
- We're going to Disney World!
- Orlando!
Come on, now!
We're all falling back
into our old bad habits.
That's not gonna happen on this trip.
That's negative thinking.
We got to be positive, like winners.
Sue is gonna drive,
and everything is gonna be just fine.
You can give it a little more gas, Sue.
Maybe we can have Sue pull over,
and we can get something to eat.
Yeah! So hungry! Let's
stop immediately.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, okay, I'd like, uh, two number 2s
and two number 3s, uh,
one with cheese and
Uh, I want the cheese fries.
- No cheese for me.
- Just remember that.
Three number 3s.
- I'll order I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- Tell her I want the cheese fries!
- Jumbo size it!
- Let her order.
One number 2
- and three number 3s
- Well, don't change it now.
- And one number 4.
- I want the cheeseburger.
- One oh, no, no, no, no.
- Maybe do a price check.
- It was supposed to be 3
and 2.
- 3 I-I can't
I can't have all of you
yelling at me all at once!
- Okay, mom.
I see how that's annoying.
- Here.
Just give us five number 3s with cheese.
Or, if it's easier for
you, five unhappy meals.
Go.
I'm not so good at tight spaces.
A-Axl, look out your window.
Tell her how much space she has.
- Aah!
- Not much.
- Damn it, Sue!
- I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I have spudsy money! I
will I will pay you back.
Just back up and go around the post.
Around the post, Sue!
- Well, I am.
- No, don't just drag it!
Go around the post!
Aah!
Oh, no, no! Stop the thing!
Back up!
Aah!
Damn it, Sue! Stop!
Get out of the car.
It's stuck.
Is it bad?
Only if you want to get
in and out of the car.
All right, that's it.
You're out of the rotation.
You're never driving again.
Hey.
Look.
They gave us extra fries.
Orlando.
So, four hours and two
states out of our way,
we made the quick stop
somewhere outside of
Greenville, North Carolina,
to have Brick meet his girlfriend.
People do things for their kids, okay?
All right, we're here.
This is it? Really?
I would have thought Disney
World would be a little fancier.
No.
This is your girlfriend's
house.
We're here.
Oh.
Did I not mention that
we broke up last night?
- You're kidding.
- Brick! What?!
When mom and dad are
dead, you are so grounded.
No.
You did not, Brick.
You did not mention that.
You don't understand she
went through the Jelly Gates
and into the Golden
Castle of Akbar without me.
I mean, how can I have a
relationship with someone
who would do something like that?
Do her parents even know you broke up?
Hmm.
Good question.
Well, we're going in there,
and you are gonna do the right thing.
You're gonna look her in the eye
and apologize to her face to face.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
He met
this girl on the Internet?
This is getting creepy.
- No, I talked to the mom.
- No, Axl's right.
This could be a complete catfish situation.
How do you know the mom
isn't the little girl?
Look, a grandpa could be the little girl.
Well, I'm not going in there.
I don't want to wake up without a kidney.
I can just see the headline.
"'B' student slain in hillbilly massacre.
'He was awesome, ' said friends.
"
You're all being ridiculous.
We're going in there, right, Mike?
Uh
Hello?
You made it.
Whew.
Well, I'm glad you found us.
Yeah, I didn't know if you
were still expecting us.
Of course.
Come on in.
Come in.
So, hi.
Uh, I'm Frankie.
Nice to meet you.
This is Mike and Sue and
Sir Axl, Duke of awesomeness.
How's it going?
- And this, of course, is Brick.
- Hi.
This is my husband, Phil oh.
And our daughter, Tanya.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Well, I'm sure you two
have plenty to talk about.
Tanya, why don't you go
show Brick your dirt pile?
Don't dig too deep, Brick.
God knows what could be under there.
Oh, have a seat.
Come on, get up.
Have a seat.
Uh, dinner won't be ready for another
Ooh, 37 minutes,
but y'all want some
peanut-butter crackers?
Oh, hey, thanks.
Yum.
Mexico, get out of here!
So, we're on our way to Disney World.
I think I mentioned that on the phone.
We won it.
We don't normally take trips like that.
We had a Disney jar,
not that there was ever any money in it.
Our washing machine doesn't work very well.
Anyway so, this is
kind of awkward, right?
I don't know if you know.
Maybe you do.
But the kids broke up last night.
W-what do you mean?
Tanya broke up with your son?
Uh, well, no.
Uh, not exactly.
Brick
broke up with her.
There was a, uh Jelly-Gate situation.
So, your son dumped our daughter?
Why'd y'all come here for then?
We were already here,
and it was the right thing to do.
Oh, so, you drove eight
hours out of your way
just to rub it in our faces.
I'm sorry.
Y'all got to be up to something.
No sane person drives hundreds
of miles out of the way
to meet a
- She's got a point.
- All right, just hold on.
- We were
- I know what this is.
Y'all show up out of nowhere.
He don't even look like his picture.
Y'all are catfishing us.
A-and I only went through the Jelly Gates
'cause you were out of Golden Coins.
But but by the time I
got back, y-you were gone.
- Really? I had no idea.
- Get on out of here!
Get out!
Yeah, that's right! Get off our property!
You think you can come here and catfish us,
you and your your weird kid!
We're not catfishing
anybody.
And we're not weird.
We are decent people just
trying to do the right thing!
If anybody's catfishing, you're catfishing.
We are not catfish people.
We're Orlando people.
Mike, let's go.
I got to get in this side.
What? No, I already slammed it.
But, Frankie, this is
the only way in.
Remember?
Yeah.
I said we weren't weird.
Now it's getting weird.
Just storm off.
I'll
pick you up on the corner.
It's weirder you driving and me walking!
All right, all right!
I'm just letting him in.
We're still storming off.
Brick, let's go.
Brick, wait.
I-I'm glad you came.
Wow.
Brick's first kiss.
That was way easier than I thought.
Well, looks like I'm the only one
who's kissed a girl on this trip.
Who's the Duke of awesomeness now?
Yep, if you change your frame of mind,
everything falls into place.
Axl got all B's,
Brick got his first kiss,
and Sue
Well
Wait.
What are you doing?
- What's going on?
- Why are we stopping?
Get up here, Sue.
Bring it home.
I don't know, dad.
I'll probably just drive
us all into the sign.
Hey, you got this.
Orlando! Orlando! Orlando! Orlando!
Oh, my God.
No days 'till Disney World!
- Welcome to Disney World.
- Thank you.
Wait.
Oh, no.
I'm sorry.
These tickets are for
Disneyland in California.
You do realize you're in Orlando.
Orlando.
