(whispering) Do you think it's our fault?
(whispering) Of course it's our fault.
We made them our friends. We coddled them.
I don't think we coddle them.
Look at us right now. We're whispering so as not to wake up our daughter,
who's passed out on a counter
reeking of gin.
I think it might be rum.
Yeah, let's argue about that.

Can you believe I once told her she could be president?
All the crap we told them to give them self-esteem.
My father never gave me self-esteem.
He never even said that he loved me.
And look at me; I hate myself, and I'm doing great.
Least he stuck around. I mean,
my hippie mom left when I was seven to go live on an ashram.
I still don't know what that is.

No, I'm not.
See, I don't want him to come in here.
That's how our kids should feel about us.
Oh, jeez, look at this. Passed out drunk.
It's all because of your permissive...
Wait, stop me if she's actually dead.
She's fine, and you don't have to yell at us.
We were just yelling at ourselves.
We're just here to say good-bye.
Bob and I are heading out for a weekend at the cabin.

Shoot, my sister Rhonda.
Shoot your sister Rhonda? I'll do it.
Stop that. I've got to take this.
You know, I've been thinking about doing some hunting up there.
How are you fixed for venison jerky?
Picture all the venison jerky that you've ever given me.
I still have it.
Oh, Bob, I can't go.
Rhonda's boyfriend cheated on her,
and now I've got to drive to Tacoma to keep her
from burning his house down again.
I guess you'll just have to go to the cabin without me.
But it won't be as romantic without you.
So it'll still be a little romantic?
I mean, I'll still build a fire
and pour myself a glass of wine, and nuke a Hot Pocket.
I know how to show myself a good time.
You know, Dad, you shouldn't go to the cabin by yourself.
Um... I'm just remembering the caretaker called,
said the place was crawling with spiders.
Oh, don't tell me that.
I hate those creepy-crawly little bastards.
Ooh, four legs I'll give you, six, all right, you're a bug.
Eight legs, ooh, that's a devil creature.
Fine, no cabin.
The caretaker didn't call. Why did you talk your dad out of going?
Because we're going to the cabin. Just the two of us, you and me, right now.
Oh, that sounds great. Let me just

You and I have to get away, and they need to learn to fend for themselves.
Ah, absolutely. I agree.
No more coddling, old-school parenting.
Today is the first day of the rest of our lives.

Nothing strange about that.
