[BANGING AND CLATTERING]
[TOILET FLUSHING]
Oh, my God!
- You're Jann! - [ROCK THEME MUSIC]
It was like that when I got there!
[QUIETLY] I am so frickin' hungry.
- Ooh, I love those, love those! - [ROCK GUITAR MUSIC]
Love those! Road flares?
Small, small, extra-large. Fashion! Mm-hmm!
The, uh... loo is out of toilet paper.
Is there anything else?
It was like that when I got there!
I got pop, I got water, I got popcorn twists
I got nacho chips, I got some chocolate.
All set!
Well, we're definitely not going to starve
on this three hour road trip.
Oh, did you want snacks?
- Did you pay for the gas? - It's your car.
[PHONE RINGING AND VIBRATING]
Oh, not now, Satan.
[MAJESTIC MUSIC PLAYING]
What are you doin' in the back seat?
Watching Frozen, I actually never saw the end to this thing.
Does everybody freeze to death, or what?
Get in the front.
I hate these doors
so... goddamn... much!
[FUNKY ROCK MUSIC]
Do these make my face look wide?
- Very. - I don't think they do.
Ahem. Look, here's the deal.
We should arrive at the motel around 6 PM.
All I am up for tonight is a quick dinner and then early bed.
OK? Because I just... I need to be
in a clear state of mind for tomorrow.
Sounds good to me. I'll be friggin' hungry by then!
OK. This guy, my biological dad,
he's doing some...
Jazz brunch at the motel bar.
OK? His set starts at 9 AM
so I need you up and ready
by 8:45.
- Can you do that? - Yes!
Tomorrow's just gonna be really stressful, OK?
We're kind of ambushing this guy.
What if it backfires?
Max, you are an amazing person
and if you're half of him,
he's an amazing person too,
- right? - Yeah.
Or...
He could be a serial killer...
...which is fine,
because he would never kill his own child.
[ROCK GUITAR MUSIC]
I miss Mommy so much.
Yeah. Me too.
[RAPID KNOCKING]
- Hi, Dave! - Oh, hi, Liz.
Listen, um... I noticed that Max...
Left in the van 47 minutes ago and she hasn't come back.
Oh, you noticed that? Huh...
Well, and also she had a suitcase,
so made me think maybe she's never coming back.
Oh, yeah? No, no. She's coming back.
- Oh. - Yeah. Soon.
Oh, well I was home alone...
Thinking of you.
And I thought, you know, that precious family
could use some of my famous sweet buns,
- Oh! - Especially that delicious...
Daddy, Dave.
OK, thank you!
Oh. Uh-oh.
Um...
I'll let Max know you stopped by.
OK. that's great.
- And... thank you! - Uh-huh.
Oh, and you're trying to come in, huh?
I overheard Max saying, you know,
that you guys repainted your master bedroom, so
thought maybe I could, uh...
- See it. - No.
- Oh. - It's just white.
- It's wh...? Ah, you're hilarious! - I know!
- OK, I'll see you later! - OK!
This place 100% has bedbugs.
When did you get so precious?
It doesn't have bedbugs.
[GASP]
Why is there carpeting in the bathroom?
You know what we should do tonight?
Chill out, watch a movie, order pizza.
[GASP] Max?
Frozen is on.
You know what? I can't seem to relax.
I think I just maybe need a drink.
I don't even miss alcohol.
Oh, well, that is super, super great for you.
Could we talk about...
Maybe, your anxiety surrounding tomorrow?
Because this is a safe place.
Except for the remote, the drapes,
the bedspread, the electrical outlets, the microwave,
and whatever that stain is over there.
I don't really want to talk about it.
You should what I want to do?
I want to prepare for tomorrow by staking out the bar.

Anyway, I have challenged
my know-it-all sister, Jann...
To a karaoke battle
and she's refusing to do it.
Instead, she's just sitting there,
contemplating becoming a vegan
and psychoanalyzing everything that I do.
I'm not doing it!
- I'll do it. - Sit down, Brandine!
Well, I guess that means that I'm the winner.
Instead of a duet, I'll just put on
a dazzling solo performance
and show all of these fine people
who the true talent in the family is!
Oh, look. Here she is.

You win the meat basket!
- Not you, the hot one. - Hmm.
[CHEERING]
Whatever. Meat is murder, Max. Murder!
I cannot believe we're back here.
So embarrassing.
Well, maybe they won't recognize us.
You go.
- [CLAPPING] - [INDISTINCT LEWD COMMENTS]
Look who it is, yeah!
Hey. You left your bra here last night.
- Ah, jeez. - Yeah, yeah. Not you.
The hot one.
Oh my God.
Build your own Caesar bar, I love these!
I couldn't just wear one of my cute bras,
it had to be this piece of garbage?
Well, in your defence,
it's not like you woke up yesterday and thought,
oh gosh, maybe I'll wear one of my cute bras, in case I end up
flinging it into the face of somebody named Rawdog Robbie!
Well, it worked, so.
Those glasses make your face look wide.
[GROAN]
This is a virgin Caesar.
I get it!
Oh my God, Max!
[UNCOMFORTABLE LAUGHING]
Is this your dad?
Jazz brunch!
I knew it! You got the skinny genes.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
[SING-SONG VOICE]: Knock, knock.
Oh! That was... out of sequence.
- You just come in the back door. - Front door was locked.
For a reason. Wh... wh... what are you doin' here?
Brought you some ripe melons.
[AWKWARD LAUGH]
You did, thank you.
Girls, Liz is here, from next door.
You remember Liz, right?
Girls! [SNAPPING FINGERS]
- Liz is here. - [GIRLS]: Hi!
We're watching squishy editorials!
- Check this one out. - Oh, yeah!
- It's fascinating. - It's a heart one.
Any pictures of daddy there?
- [GIRLS]: Yeah! - Let me see.
What this brunch needs is some jazz.
Where is your dad?
Guess I get my punctuality from Mom.
And your weird earlobes.
[CELLPHONE RINGING]
Hey, this is gonna sound insane,
but Bitchy Liz just showed up here
for the second time in 2 days.
She's wearing what looks like
a dryland bathing suit
and she keeps bringing me provocative foods.
That sneaky little witch.
Who? Mom?
What do I do? She's incredibly handsy.
Um, just be nice to her.
That's it? That's not the advice I was hoping for.
I know, but we can't piss her off until
after she votes me back on the PTA.
They're passing the new sex education curriculum next week
and we need one that includes the discussion of consent.
- Oh, I got you! - Ha! Ha! Ha! OK!
Yeah, well, that is incredibly important, so...
I got to go. I love you,
- I'll talk to you later. - Bye, bye, bye.
Don't go to a second location with her.
- You'll be fine. - Right.
- [SOFT JAZZ MUSIC] - Is everything OK?
Liz is hitting on Dave and it's freaking him out.
[LAUGHING]
Somebody is hitting on Dave, yeah, sure!
Oh. Speaking of hitting on...
Hello, daddy.
That is indeed my daddy.
Oh! I'm so sorry.
That's my bad.
Listen, go up there, introduce yourself.
That's why we came all this way.
I don't know what to say to him!
You can do it. You're ready!
That's just it. Sitting here, now,
I don't think I'm ready.
Fine. I will do it.
Dan, another glass of ice, please.
You having a hot flash?
[LAUGHING]
I chew ice when I get nervous.
Uh!
Got any nervous kids you don't know about?
Hey, wait a minute. I know you.
I've got your album, Living under June.
- You're a very talented artist. - Thank you.
- Marty. Pleasure. - Pleasure to meet you, Marty.
- I'm Max! - Holy hell!
Hey, this is my...
Half-sister, Max.
If you get my drift.
Hello, Max.
I'm meeting you.
And I'm meeting you.
So, um... How long have you been doing
the jazz brunches, Marty?
Well, I've been doing it every year during the off season
and the rest of the year, I'm performing around the world
and making new friends.
A true rolling stone.
Been that way all my life, wouldn't have it any other way.
Can I have a glass of ice, please?
So, you never settled down?
No kids, no regrets?
Not one.
You're Marty.
Is your sister OK?
She has this condition where she just says the obvious.
You really get used to it.
- After a while. - Ah!
Uh, well, my set is about to start, so...
I'll have to get on up there.
So you're leaving now. So bye.
Bye.
I just had a change of heart
and then before I knew it, I was out of my seat
and talking to him.
You were kind of talking at him!
Do you think it went OK?
- Compared to what? - I mean.. Was I shouting?
'Cause I couldn't hear myself.
Max...
He is a really decent guy.
He's had a good life. He's happy, he's grateful.
He never, ever wanted kids.
Oh, my God.
- What just happened? - [DRUM ROLLS]
[MARTY]: Hello, everyone and uh...
Welcome to Jazz Brunch.
Just a reminder from the house
that the build-your-own- ceasar-bar is not a buffet.
The food is meant to punctuate your beverages as a garnish,
not to feed a family of four,
by stacking your items on the glass like an edible Jenga.
- We're talking to you. - Me?
Food's not even that good here!
We are so very lucky here today, because...
We have a special guest in the audience.
This woman is, uh...
a really wonderful singer-songwriter,
so would you please put your hands together
for the one and only Jann Arden!
[APPLAUSE]
- Ready, boys? - [JAZZ MUSIC]
Do you want to go home?
Let's go home. Come on.
So where are your kids and your husband, Liz?
You're looking really good, Dave. Good for you.
I don't like this.
Oh, you should learn how to take a compliment.
You DILF!
Sturdy. That's good.
Much like my marriage.
- [DOORBELL CHIMES] - Door!
[DOOR OPENS]
I'm looking for Jann.
Is she hiding in the suburbs
'cause she thinks I would never come here?
No, but come on right in.
We'll look for her together even if it takes all day.
Cale, this is our neighbor Liz.
I brought fresh melons.
I'm sure you did.
You need to stay in your lane.
Oh... This day just keeps getting worse.
- We're back! - Oh, thank God!
- How was your hair appointment? - Great!
Blow-outs were half off,
so Nora treated me as a thank you
for taking her to her appointment.
Oh, it's cute, Todd.
You're cute.
Cale! What are you doing in the suburbs?
Looking for Jann, but now that you're here,
we have a huge problem
that still needs to be addressed.
- Now? - Why not now?
If you make me sweat, I'll ruin my blow-out.
That would be a blessing.
You meeting with Jann behind my back
is absolutely not appropriate.
This is a real teaching moment
for you also. Take notes.
Todd is only doing what he thinks is best.
Maybe he's trying to help you. Have you ever thought of that?
Gram, you can't be serious.
You've been here the whole time?
Cale is working hard for Jann.
She deserves to know what's going on.
Thank you, Charley.
I'm Jann's manager.
I have a plan for her career,
and it's derailed every time she meets with you.
The last thing I want is bad blood.
But sometimes, you aren't the easiest person to talk to,
so Jann comes to me.
How much can you deadlift?
Todd is right.
You need to take a cold hard look
at your bedside manner.
Well, maybe they both need to take a cold hard look in the mirror.
Great suggestion.
Have you even seen your hair, Todd?
You look ridiculous.
Bangs are back, Cale.
How are you feeling? Wanna talk about it?
It's just bringing up a lot of stuff for me.
Like what?
Did you know, when we were growing up,
I was super envious of you?
- Really? - Yeah.
You got to follow your dream,
you became a really successful singer.
I fell in love with the wrong guy and...
- Yes, you did. - Had Charley when I was 19...
On my worst days, it was Dad who got me through.
You always had a way of looking on the bright side.
When I was feeling jealous of you, or just...
Inadequate in general,
he would say: "Sure, Jann's got the voice, but...
you've got the whole band."
He was a great dad. I miss him.
I miss him too.
What does that mean exactly, you've got the whole band?
Just... the whole package.
Sometimes you're a drum kit short of being tolerable.
I don't really understand that,
but it hurts me on some level.
- Listen, I'm just giving you the facts. - Yeah.

- Fine. - I'll cut the cheese.
Jann is my client.
You can't even find her now.
I lost the scent in the suburbs!
Cale, how can I make this better? What do you want me to do?
If Jann approaches you about business,
do me the curtesy of letting me know.
What about the fact than Jann and I are real friends,
in real life?
Am I supposed to contact you every time
we want to get our eyebrows threaded?
Like this?
It's just lunch, Liz.
Here. Can you guys unwrap these wieners?
Wish that was my job.
You need a hobby, dear.
- Are you crying? - You're so ridiculous.
Don't even try with me, Todd...
Do you think this is enough?
- All of you! - Are you OK, Cale?
Please! For the love of God, shut it down!
- OK. - Um, hi, guys!
Cale! You found me.
I knew I would eventually.
I like your bangs, Todd.
Thank you, Jann.
- [ALL GASPING AND EXCLAIMING] - Uh-uh.
- Well, there go the burgers. - I got this!
Excuse me.
No!
It's good!
- Well, great news! - I'm fine!
I won a meat basket.
But that's because, I am a better singer...
Than Jann.
The DJ was tone deaf,
but I'm going to give Max the false win.
Well...
I love you so much.
Wow! You've been through a lot.
Glad you're back guys.
Cale, Charley, help me set the table.
Hon, did you notice that Liz is here?
I did. Hi, Liz.
Oh! Look at that.
You tore your top.
No. I bought it like that.
- Oh... - Liz has had a...
- Super active weekend. - Yes, I have!
She made sticky buns,
she dressed up like sporty spice...
She broke in the backdoor.
Yeah, but most importantly,
she came here to see you. Isn't that right, Liz?
That is... That's right.
She wanted to tell you in person,
that you're back on the PTA!
- What? - Isn't that great?
Thanks, Liz.
Of course, of course.
You're so much better than my husband.
- Am I? - Yeah.
Maybe we should invite him over.
No, he's a terrible wingman.
You having a good day?
A barbecue with the whole family?
I couldn't ask for a better day.
Dave! Nice buns.
Oh, for...
I don't want to get sentimental, but...
I just want you to know that
you and Dad were the best parents
I could have ever ask for.
Oh, Maxie!
Thank you, for everything you did for us.
Being a mom to you girls
is my greatest accomplishment.
Now, for my light eaters...
One burger split two ways,
- extra cheese. - Thank you.
So...
You're gonna tell me about this roadtrip?
It was pretty uneventful.
Unless we have bedbugs, then...
- We one 100% have bedbugs. - Yeah.
synced & corrected by PopcornAWH www.addic7ed.com
- You OK? - Yeah.
Max, there is bedbugs! I swear to God.
Oh, God! Oh...
Max! Max!
Max! Max? Max!
- [MUMBLING]: Bedbugs? - What?
Cale...
Jann.
For God's sakes does it have to be a jumpsuit?
What if I have to pee?
Is it too late to cut a little flap into this thing?
Hey Keisza those are my flogga pants!
Who are you wearing tonight?
Ah Nadine Duwal
Oh like Madeline Merlo?
Do I have my jumpsuit on backwards?
I've got a flap in mine, it's for peeing.
