Oh, no! Oh, shoot! - You did it on purpose! - What? You hit me 'cause I like the Clippers. - The Clippers are awesome. - We love the Clippers. Are you kidding me? It was so smart to get rid of Blake Griffin. That was a great trade for them. We're obsessed with the Clippers. I can't get enough of them. - They're amazing. - Okay. - Can we play hide and seek? - You sure? You lost a lot of blood. - I love hide and seek. - Okay, but just us. No girls. Oh. Sure. It's not that progressive, but no problem. - Lita, should we go play restaurants? - Yeah. You're it. I'll hide and you count. Okay? - You sure you're okay? - Yeah. - Go on, count. Count to 20. - All right, buddy. Oh, my God. You better not embarrass me at the restaurant. Potato Chips has been bad today. Bad girl!

I'm gonna be honest with you, all right? I don't know, I just thought when we met our kids that it would be like this cosmic connection, you know? Like just take one look at them and just know, like when you and me met. Yeah. Totally. Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What, you didn't just know? - Hmm? - Oh, my gosh. - What? - You heard what I said. You didn't just know? No, I was interested, but, you know, I'm more cautious than you are. Really? Wow. How long before you just knew? A couple of months. A couple of months? How many months?

Like, four... - Four? - ...teen. Fourteen? Oh, my God! - I knew before we got married, okay? - That's the point. We don't have a year-long engagement on this thing. If we say "yes," they're in our house next week. Did you feel a cosmic connection? No, I didn't feel a cosmic connection. I felt like I was... I felt like I was babysitting other people's kids. I agree. - With what? - With you. With me wanting the kids or not wanting the kids? - Whatever you want. - That's not an answer. Then just give me 14 months to think about it. How 'bout that? Come on.

I'm thankful for my beautiful grandchildren, including the... the very lucky kids that are soon to be adopted by two wonderful parents. I'm really thankful for that too. That is really inspiring stuff, you guys. Well done. Yeah, about that. Actually, we... Yeah, we've decided together not to move forward with the foster thing. Yeah, we just realized we hadn't thought it through properly, so... Yeah! Jesus Christ. This is great news. I mean, we were all being supportive to your faces, but... Yeah. We all thought you were out of your minds. I never said anything, but I'm thankful to hear this. What? Why? - Ellie, let's not. We're holding hands. - No, no, no, no. I would be thankful to know why you all have a problem with this. - Hey, I never had a problem with it. - I think it's smart. Have a couple kids without the pregnancy and the hormones and the... the rage. - Stop talking. - Ellie. All I'm saying is that we're thankful that you and Peter are gonna experience having the love of your own beautiful children rather than... - Rather than what, Jan? Just spit it out. - Hell, I'll say it. Rather than just rolling the dice with the offspring of some criminal or drug addict. To be honest, we were worried about our real kids' safety... - What? - ...were they to hang out with your kids, if they're... Damaged goods? When I was growing up, a lot of people thought I was damaged goods too. Pete, we're not talking about you, man. We're talking about crack babies and kids who have been sexually harassed. "Sexually harassed"? What do you mean? Their parents made lewd comments? - You know what I mean, wiseass. - Open your stupid eyes.

- How long have everyone's eyes been open? - Kimmy, you of all people. - What if you can't have a baby? - Do not put that out into the universe, please. What if you can't? What are you gonna do? If you don't quit being so nuts about this baby thing, I swear to God, I'm gonna get pregnant again this afternoon just to spite you. - And you know I can do it. - Really? - No. - Oh. I'm sorry if we're not as politically correct as you guys, but our baby has to be our blood. - Yes! Absolutely! - Oh, my God. "Our blood." - This blood? This blood right here? - What's that supposed to mean? - Jerry, what do you think? - I'd be thankful if we could eat, Russ. You just spent 30 minutes talking about the deep state. You don't have an opinion on your own family? - None of my business. - Thank you, Daddy. I would like you all to know that thousands of children are spending Thanksgiving without any family at all. And right now I kind of envy them. But I know you guys love me. I know that I have a place to go to eat turkey and be thankful. But a lot of kids don't have that. And it's not their fault! And they're not damaged goods! So forget what I said before. It is back on! - If that's okay with you, honey. - Yee-haw, baby. Yee-haw. We're gonna adopt a whole shitwhack of kids. And I am thankful that whoever has a problem with it can fuck right off!

Hi, honey. Here we are. Come in, look around. This is Meatball. A Christmas tree? Does that mean Santa comes here? - Yeah, every year. - Yay! - So, you guys are rich. - What? Ri... No. We're not rich. I mean, we're doing okay. Well... When we got this house, it was a dump. That's what we do. We renovate houses. Ellie did all the design work. Actually, everything is from swap meets and flea markets, and it's not that expensive at all. - That's crystal! Sorry. Oh, my God. - I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Uh, I shouldn't have left this out. You guys want to see your rooms? Come on. Let's go check out your room.

Lizzy, want me to show you your room? - Okay. Yeah. - It's just here. I'm so sorry you have to carry all your stuff in these awful bags. - If we knew... - No, no, it's cool. Fun fact: that's actually how you can spot a foster kid. The kid carrying her whole life in a Hefty bag.
