Whoa! Somebody had a big piece of grouchy pie this morning.

I just can't believe Stan forgot our anniversary.
01:36
I would never forget our anniversary. - We have an anniversary?

October 25, the day you forgot to put on underpants.
01:43
Let's celebrate early. Quick! Straddle mein bowl.
01:50
Hayley, do Mommy a favor and put on something less revealing.
01:53
There is nothing inappropriate about this outfit.
01:56
Not if you're gonna spend the weekend tinkling on Bob Guccione.
01:59
Oh, God, Mom. Were you ever cool?
02:02
Oh, yeah, Hayley? Well, I pity the fool who thinks I'm uncool.

Get it? I was making a Dr. "T" reference.

Hey, Hayley, guess where I'm taking you this weekend.

Burning man
02:16
It's this awesome celebration...
02:18
where they burn this huge wooden man.
02:20
It's all about life, love and the power of community.
02:22
No, it's all about a bunch of naked morons...
02:24
drinking and doing lots of drugs.
02:27
What are we, 12? - Wait. Before you decide—
02:29
This is a microcosm of the power that is Burning Man.

Imagine this, but 70 feet tall. [ Screaming ]

03:10
[ Speaking Japanese ]
03:14
Gross! She'd never do that, Toshi.
03:17
Besides, where are we gonna get a dozen Ping-Pong balls?
03:19
Hey, Steve, she's coming this way.
03:21
Ask her out— unless you're afraid.
03:23
You forget yourself, Snot. Steve Smith is never afraid.
03:28
I'm Steve Smith. Would you like to go out with me?
03:30
I'd love to. - Really?

Jewel, I'd like you to meet my friends.
03:51
Godzilla!
03:56
I can't believe that Dummkopf didn't remember your anniversary.
03:59
And after what happened last year—
04:02
Oh, that was classic.
04:07
That jerk forgot our anniversary!
04:10
Keep her away from me! - Aah!

Okay, okay. I'm cool.

Ach, ja! This is my favorite part.

04:24
He could never forget a beating like that.
04:26
I'm sure he's just waiting for the perfect time to surprise me.
04:30
After all, our anniversary isn't over till midnight.
04:33
This midnight fishing is great.
04:35
Sounds to me like someone doesn't want to go home.
04:37
Yeah, I'm, uh, laying low.
04:39
Today is the anniversary of a huge fight...
04:41
me and Francine got into last year.
04:43
Yeah? What about? - Oh, I forgot our anniversary.
04:46
[ Laughs ] I'm never gonna do that again.

I— Uh—

I, uh, have a special anniversary surprise for you.
05:05
Your favorite song...
05:07
sung by America's sweetheart, Whitney Houston.
05:09
Come on, daddy. I-- I need my fix.
05:11
Remember the deal, Whitney. First you sing, then you get your precious cocaine.
05:15
How dare you! Do you think I would—
05:25
Happy anniversary, sweetheart.
05:27
Come on, Whitney. Go get it.
05:30
What a performer. Well, let's turn in.
05:33
You know what? If you don't get why this day...
05:35
is so important to me, I guess you never will.
05:38
Sweetie, I made a mistake.
05:40
Can't you take a page from that bitch Hillary Clinton and just let it go?
05:43
No! This is the most inconsiderate thing you've ever done.
05:47
I am never going to forget this.
05:49
I was afraid you were gonna say that—
05:51
which is why I got you this card.
05:53
Open it. I promise it'll make everything better.
05:55
There's nothing that could— Oh. -[ Hissing ]
06:01
Thank God for top-secret C.i.a. technology.
06:03
Just lose the last 20 hours of her memory.
06:05
That ought to get me out of the doghouse. - Francine?
06:09
Francine, can you hear me? - Don't kick me out.
06:11
The bouncer said I could, like, totally meet def Leppard.
06:15
Def Leppard? - Francine, what year is it?
06:18
Duh. 1985. Hey, anybody got some gum?
06:21
I wanna get the taste of roadie out of my mouth.
06:23
[ Hissing ]
06:25
Why the hell does my wife think it's 1985? - Huh.
06:28
Instead of erasing the last 20 hours...
06:30
I must have erased the last 20 years.
06:33
Oh, I guess this is the dial for hours...
06:36
and this is the dial for years. Yeah. Yeah.
06:44
The last 20 years of your wife's memory have been erased.
06:47
Well, go ahead and undo it.
06:49
Reverse brain erasing? Now that's just science fiction.
06:51
Kind of like the female orgasm.
06:53
[ All Laughing ]
06:59
Oh, that's great. You gotta do stand-up. You gotta. You're great.
07:01
You know, you're not the first person who's told me that.
07:03
I bet I'm not. I bet I'm not.
07:05
Anyway, Stan, the procedure is irreversible.
07:08
You're kidding. - Fraid not.
07:10
But if you do figure something out, let us know...
07:13
and we'll name the discovery after you—
07:15
like they did for Johnny Flyswatter or Doug Reach-Around.
07:21
You permanently erased Mom's memory?
07:23
Well, that's just what the experts at the lab say...
07:25
but there's no way she could ever forget me.
07:27
I mean, who could forget this? Or this?
07:30
Or these? Go on, kids, give 'em a squeeze.
07:33
It's not weird. I'm your dad. - She's coming to.
07:35
One look at me and her memories of our love will come flooding back.
07:41
Narc! Narc! [ Screams ]
07:43
What? What? Oh, God, is there a bee on me?
07:45
Oh! Does it look Africanized?
07:47
Hey, baby. [ Kisses ] -[ Screams ]
07:49
Mom. -[ Screams ]
07:50
You idiot. Why would you do that?
07:52
I thought it was like the hiccups.
07:54
[ Hisses ]
07:57
Okay, this is gonna be harder than I thought.
07:59
Maybe we should watch the video.
08:02
Has your loved one's memory been irretrievably lost?
08:05
Hi. I'm forgettable actor Bill Pullman.
08:07
You might not remember me from such movies...
08:09
as While You Were Sleeping and twister.
08:11
Wait. Was I in twister? No. No, that was Bill Paxton.
08:15
See? Memory can be pretty tricky...
08:17
so that's why if you tell your loved one what's happened to them...
08:19
their brain will implode.
08:21
Good luck. I'm Bill Pullman.
08:23
Oh, oh! I was also in independence D—
08:25
Jeff Daniels is right.
08:27
We have to maintain the illusion that your mother is still 18...
08:30
or it's going to get very messy in there.
08:32
So what do we do? - Well, when she was 18, she lived in West Langley...
08:35
so we need to get her back into her old apartment.
08:38
Hayley, you can keep an eye on her by being her roommate.
08:40
What? I don't want to live with Mom. Besides, I'm sure someone lives there.
08:44
[Knocking ]
08:46
Good day, ma'am. I'm a friend of your child.
08:48
He or she has asked me to take you...
08:50
to a wonderful retirement home. - How lovely.
08:54
Right in here, ma'am. - Oh, you're such a nice young—
08:59
[ Woman] Hello? Am I supposed to vote now?
09:05
Please, Pete? Lindsay won't go out with me...
09:07
unless I find a date for her friend.
09:09
She's not that bad-looking— and besides, you're blind.
09:12
Come on. You went to the Winter Ball with that guy.
09:15
Yes, it was a guy.
09:17
Hello? [ Sighs ]
09:19
It's like there's not a human being alive that would go out with that girl.
09:27
[ Yawns ] Who are you?
09:29
Uh, Hayley, your new roommate.
09:32
Oh, right. I must have blacked out. - Wait a second. You party?
09:37
Totally. [ Sniffs ] I need a shower.
09:41
[Zipper] - Great Grizzly Adams. Who fired the gardener?
09:44
Unbelievable. How did she ever hook up with a stiff like Dad?
09:48
I'll tell you how she hooked up with a stiff like me.
09:50
It was 20 years ago.
09:52
I didn't normally pick up transients, but for her I made an exception.
09:56
Her T-shirt said "Bad Girl"...
09:58
and her eyes said, "Read the T-shirt."
10:01
My God, she was beautiful She was cold to me, but I was hot for her—
10:05
which explained the moderate temperature in the car.
10:08
And then, fate scampered across the road
10:10
[ Brakes Squealing ]
10:13
it was on a slow train to Death City...
10:16
So I asked the conductor if he could skip the next few stops to make up—
10:19
Oh, I shot it in the eye. -[Whimpers ]
10:22
She said it was the most compassionate act she'd ever witnessed—
10:25
and I got to kill something.
10:27
It was a magical moment.
10:29
Well, there you go. If you want Francine back, just recreate that moment.
10:32
Roger, you're a genius! That's how I'll bring back her memory.
10:36
You just gave me my reach-around.
10:41
Hey, old lady, party!

11:13
Nope, first time we've met, Francine. - What?

Nothing. Stick of your favorite gum? - What?
11:17
Nothing. -[ Beep ]

11:38
Crazy with compassion. Come on. Watch me blow its head off.

12:35
Because you're smothering me, Linda.
12:42
I was wrong. I'll be home by 9:00.
12:45
Because I promised Derek I'd meet him for a drink. That's why 9:00!

12:58
And let the love come flowing back.
13:04

Too bad. I snuck you out so you could be my wingman.

I had this boyfriend. He was in an avalanche.

I think you'll find I'm a lot less of everything.

I'm not just saying this to be clever—
17:16
I really feel like a fish out of water here.
17:21
What's the deal with the flower?
17:23
On our wedding day, I placed this yellow flower in your mom's white bouquet.
17:26
It symbolized her sunshine brightening my otherwise cloudy world.
17:30
Dad, I've never seen this side of you. It's so sweet.
17:33
Well, if you tell anybody I'll kill you.

Ah. I'm serious. I will kill you.

You're lying. I'm a loser.

A suit like me? Well then, I'll get rid of the suit.
19:22
Huh? Huh? Look at me. Nothing stiff here.
19:24
Hey, it's never gonna happen with us. Never!
19:31
Because hang-gliding makes me feel alive, Linda, okay?
19:34
[ Beeps ]
19:37
[ Screams ]
19:41
Francine!
19:52
Don't worry. I'm leaving.
19:54
I just wanted you to be safe. -[ Vomits ]
19:57
You're the best thing that ever happened to me, and I took it for granted.
20:01
-I'm just happy that— -[ Vomits ]
20:03
Uh, that I got the privilege to be with you for the time that I did.
20:07
[ Vomits ]
20:09
Okay, my shoes are full. I better go now.
20:11
I love you, Francine. It's a little late, but happy anniversary.
20:20
Remember.
20:25
Stan? - Francine?
20:28
Stan, it was so weird. And I was alone and confused.
20:33
And there was this raccoon, and I knew who I was again.
20:37
Oh, Francine, thank God.
20:39
I love you. - I love you too, Stan.
20:42
[ Vomits ]
20:45
That was gross. I still love you.
20:49
Thanks for looking after me. I'm so embarrassed.
20:52
Don't be. You were fun. In fact, you were cool.
20:57
[ Muffled Grunts ] - Oh. Hey, funny story.
21:01
A little bit longer...
21:03
and their last 24 hours will be completely forgotten.
21:05
Oh, thank God. - You are not off the hook, mister.
21:07
[ Groaning ] -I am deeply disappointed in you.
21:09
Dad, I was with this one. - Oh. Well, outstanding.
21:46
Bye! Have a beautiful time.
