Park. Who lets Nate be alone with this child, anyway? Nate plays on the slide with Maya, but his attention is quickly captivated by the appearance of Late Nate Fisher Sr., sitting on a nearby bench. He indicates a blond woman with a baby carriage, and Nate laughs for the first time ever.
A hot, porn-star plumber explains to David what went wrong and why the work they spent $38,000 for was so shoddy.
And then Brenda and Joe have some afternoon delight in the daytime.
And then David is getting a big BJ from Andy the plumber, because it is very, very romantic down there.
Ruth trims Arthur's ear hair, which is what old people do, and he complains to Ruth that he's having some trouble "connecting" with her family. ["I just need to back up a second: first of all, trim your own ear hair, and second, trim it in THE BATHROOM with THE DOOR CLOSED like a decent person." -- Wing Chun] Ruth warns that maybe he's trying too hard, explaining, "I love you just the way you are. And sooner or later, everyone else in this family will love you, too." Enough, perhaps, to send him a Father's Day present filled with the one thing that comes out of a human body that hasn't been showered all over us in this completely disgusting episode.
Nate carries Maya and chats with his father as they walk down the street on the way back to the house. Nate Sr., also decked out in his casual finery, listens as Nate tells him, "I quit my job," responding, "I quit my whole fucking life." Nate corrects him that he "got fired," and Nate Sr. wants him to know, "It may not have been the best thing that ever happened, but it was right up there. Getting married, becoming a father, getting creamed by a bus. Those are some of life's big moments." They arrive at the front of the house, Nate telling his father that he'd give anything for Lisa to be back, but that when he was with her, he just wanted to be free. Nate Sr. regards Maya, telling Nate, "This one. She's a keeper. Whatever you do, don't fuck that up." On his way into the house, Nate finds a box and carries into the house. I hope it's not filled with poo.
David and Keith eat Chinese food and banter about Keith's job, until David decides he's tired of Cameron Diaz (and a hearty welcome to you, new member!) and wants to talk about something slightly more captivating: "I got a blowjob today." He goes on to explain that it was compliments of the plumber. "His name was Andy...He was good with a wrench." Keith considers it for a minute and registers his response: "You'd better not think you're getting out of having sex with me tonight." Oh, the gays. Is there anything they can't do?
