"Mom? Why are you calling me?"

"Your half-brother-"

"Brother."

"-tells me you're going to Chatsworth on the fifth to visit the cast."

"Yes?"

"Are you surprising Cody?"

"Ha, no, but I'm surprising everyone else. Cody and I planned it together."

"Why wouldn't you choose to surprise your best friend over the rest of the cast?"

"Mom, no, we don't work like that. I don't think I could ever lie to him like that."

"You go, girl! Tell the truth."

"Awe, hi, Henry!"

"Hi, darling! Miss you."

"I miss you guys, too! You keeping my mother in check for me?"

"Of course he is."

"Should I tell her about Tuesday or should you?"

"Babe!"

"Well."

"You're such a dick sometimes. Why did I marry you?"

"You love me."

"Well, only kind of."

"Will one of you tell me about Tuesday?"

"Oh yeah."

"Go for it, babe."

"Your mother got drunk, cried over a video of a monkey and a kitten, then tried to take the goldfish for a walk."

"Mom, Jesus Christ. Poor Reese must be scarred for life."

"No, that little twerp videoed the whole thing and posted it on YouTube. I've got like 200 thousand hits already."

"Oh, better get that link and share it with all my followers. You wanna be viral, right?"

"Reyna!"

"I mean, bad Reese. Must punish him."

"You can't even punish him. He's not your kid."

"Well dang. Crushing my hopes and dreams."

"Anyways, we were asking about your visit to the set to see the cast."

"Oh, yeah."

"Tell Cody we love him and miss him. That's all."

"I can manage that."

"Cool."

"We've actually gotta go, we have plans with the Youngs. But we'll talk soon?"

"Sounds good. Tell Ember and Iverly that I say hi! And tell Reese he's a butt munch."

"We can do that. LOVE ya, honey."

"Love you too, Cool Mom."

"She's not like regular moms, she's a cool mom."

"You're both ridiculous."

"Bye, Rey."

"Bye, Henry! Love you guys."
