I really like your place. Thank you. We just moved in. We, uh, you have a roommate? No, I have a daughter, remember? Oh yes, right, you did mention that. And she's here with you now? Yeah, she just moved back in. She was living with her boyfriend, and then they broke up, and I don't know, it's all complicated. And how did your husband feel about that? Ex-ex-husband? Oh, that's right, ex-husband. Yeah, it's a bit of a tragic story. He and I adopted her when she was a little girl, and she came from an abusive home, and she had lots of issues. And honestly, when he abandoned me, he abandoned her as well. Well, that's unfortunate. And uh, how old is she now? 18. Going on 30. Oh, one of those. It must be hard on you. Yeah, she's in a really big hurry to grow up. We had a bit of a pregnancy scare when she was in high school, and things have been a little rough between us, but I think she needs a

strong male role model in her life. Wait, me? Yeah, let me introduce you. Chloe, can you come here for a sec? Yeah, Mom. Honey, this is Mark. Oh, so you're the one Mom won't stop talking about. So she won't stop talking about me, huh? Non-stop. All good things, though. I can see where the excitement is coming from. Oh, well, I'm going to go do the laundry, but you two can talk. So you're my new dad, Daddy now? Excuse me? Well, if you're dating Mom, then I just assumed I could call you Daddy. Yeah, well, you can just call me Mark. Whatever you say, Mark. So, uh, you're going to be spending a lot of time around here, huh? Yep. You're going to have to get used to me being around a lot more. I hope you don't mind. How old are you, Mark? I'm 48. Oh, you look good for your age. Can you guess how old I am? Yeah, your mom already told me you're 18. Guilty as charged. 18 years and 9 months to be

exact. You got kids? I do not. Well then, I guess I'll be your little girl now. Did you all have a good talk? Yeah, uh, she was just explaining how good it is to be back at home. That's good. She really needs a father figure in her life. Well, I'm tired. Are you? You ready for bed? I had so much to drink, I can't even stand straight. Well, allow me to assist you. [Applause] Jesus, you scared me. I'm sorry. I couldn't sleep. I kept having nightmares. You ever get nightmares, Mark? That kind of keeps you up at night, makes it hard to sleep. I used to. How'd you get rid of them? I don't know. They just went away on their own. You probably think I'm a lost cause, huh? I don't think that. Damaged goods? I don't think that either. What do you think of me then, Mike? I think it's time for you to go to bed. That's so boring. What a dad response. Look, I don't know what's going on in

that head of yours, but you do realize that me and your mom are dating, right? My mom? I can barely call her that. I met her when I was 11. Mike, my so-called dad, he left when I was 15. I had to raise myself. Besides, I'm not trying to steal you from Mom. I'm just asking if you could tuck me into bed. I promise I'll behave. You coming? I just can't get over how big this ring is. Look what I just found in Chloe's jeans. What is that? Is that what I think it is? Mom, where's the tonight's dinner? Can you explain this? Where'd you find that? Just answer the question first. Is this real? Oh my god. Did you look through my things? Chloe, just answer the question first. Are you pregnant? Hey, your mother's asking you a question. Answer her. Well, why don't you tell her, Mark? Tell her what? I don't know what she's talking about. What is she talking about? What is this about, Mark? I don't know anything. I don't know what

she's talking about so you're going to pretend like you don't know know what that you're pregnant no babe this is the first time I'm hearing about this don't drag Mark into this wow she has no clue does she no clue about what what do you know Mark I swear to God this is the first time I'm hearing about this m and I are sleeping together we've been doing it for several months babe she's lying I don't know what's gotten into her well you many times I might add let me think oh last Friday remember you said you'd give me a ride to work well he gave me a ride but not the one you thought Mom what what is she talking about look babe I'm sorry I wanted to tell you but I just didn't know how but I swear I didn't know she was pregnant yeah that's true he didn't know about that but I don't think he's surprised considering he never wanted to use protection mark this is disgusting how could you do this
