00:00 Hey, Vance, check him out! I could die!
00:01 Woo!
00:02 Sebastian, your suit!
00:03 Oh.
00:03 [screaming]
00:05 My parents are inviting us to the summer place for the big 4th of July weekend.
00:10 I can't leave my father.
00:12 This is the first summer since we have to say goodbye to your dear mother
00:16 and you're going to leave me to burn the spotless and eat the hot dogs alone?
00:19 Why don't we just bring him?
00:21 Nah, I don't think so.
00:22 You hear this? Ladies.
00:24 He's worried his immigrant father's gonna make her look like some kind of goomba.
00:29 Listen, if we're gonna do this, dad, you gotta dial it down with the-the-the.
00:32 With all the-with this-this. What is this?
00:35 Welcome to White Oak.
00:36 Wow, this is amazing!
00:38 Everybody's a little fancy, huh?
00:40 It's called love and affection, dad.
00:42 Unlike you when you met me at the delivery room and chose to shake my hand.
00:45 What else was I supposed to do? We just met.
00:47 Sebastian, I don't know how you're gonna fit in.
00:51 Where's my cheek tooth? Where's my cheek? Where's my cheek?
00:53 [kissing]
00:54 Don't these people have jobs?
00:55 They got their money in the stock market, not in mayonnaise jars buried in their backyard.
00:59 I just hope nothing gets stolen this weekend, 'cause these people love to blame the immigrants.
01:05 We'll give you the grand tour.
01:08 This is Doug.
01:09 He's learning to be a healer.
01:10 Hello.
01:10 What are you doing?
01:11 Just serenading our pet peacock.
01:13 [peacock call]
01:15 I love you.
01:15 These people are strange.
01:17 They have birds for pets.
01:18 He's like family!
01:20 Peacocks are just a bunch of goddamn show-offs, if you ask me.
01:23 [sigh]
01:24 I was nervous to bring you here, but I didn't know you were gonna spend the whole time embarrassing me.
01:29 How could you say that to your father?
01:31 Here we go again.
01:32 Everything I'm doing for you, that I've ever done for you, is for your own good.
01:35 Hey, Dad! Check it out, I could die!
01:37 I'm trying to make sure that you don't make an ass out of yourself by trying to be somebody you're not.
01:42 [screams]
01:43 Oh, my God.
01:43 Oh, shit.
01:44 Sebastian, your suit!
01:45 It's Versace! Do you like it?
01:47 No, you moron! It's not--
01:49 [grunts]
01:50 [grunts]
01:52 Honey, my mom can't unsee that!
01:54 I would love to make a full Italian dinner for everybody.
02:00 We don't keep a lot of food here.
02:02 A man of Scalco always finds a way to feed his family.
02:05 My father has an old Italian saying, "Family isn't one important thing, it's everything."
02:15 I can't believe you put this all together from what we have in the kitchen.
02:18 It's artichoke and poultry.
02:20 Salute!
02:20 Salute!
02:21 Salute!
02:21 Oh, no.
02:26 [groans]
02:31 You fed them their pet peacock, and you thought I was crazy for worrying that you were gonna make us look like some bad Italian stand-up.
02:39 Are you okay?
02:40 I tried to help me get rid of the evidence.
02:42 Why does it seem like you've done this before?
02:44 for.
02:44 (whooshing)
