Let's celebrate early. Quick! Straddle mein bowl.

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

It's this awesome celebration...
02:18
where they burn this huge wooden man.

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.

You forget yourself, Snot. Steve Smith is never afraid.

I'm Steve Smith. Would you like to go out with me?

Jewel, I'd like you to meet my friends.

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!

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.

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!

Game on.
11:07
Need a ride? - Thanks, pops.
11:10
Hey, are you, like, a narc? I feel like I've seen you somewhere before.
11:13
Nope, first time we've met, Francine. - What?
11:15
Nothing. Stick of your favorite gum? - What?
11:17
Nothing. -[ Beep ]
11:18

11:21
Look out! - [ Engine Guns, Tires Screech ]

Oh, sweet masked bandit of nature...
11:26

11:28
Actually, I don't think you hit it. -[ Chittering ]
11:32
No, he's suffering— pure agony.
11:34

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

No, I'm never coming home.
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!
12:50
-[ Chittering ] - [ Explosion ]
12:58
And let the love come flowing back.
13:04

So ugly.
13:49
Too bad. I snuck you out so you could be my wingman.
13:52
Now you can make nice with Jewel...
13:54
or you can go home and rot in the attic. - Uh, Steve...
13:57
"Jamaican" me crazy.
14:00
[ Laughing ] Sorry. I've had that one loaded up all night.
14:04
Ahh. This picture was taken on our honeymoon.

It's the only photo of Francine where you can't see Vaj.
14:10
Ah, Vaj— the little island boy who served as our tour guide.

I had this boyfriend. He was in an avalanche.
14:56
He survived three days on melted snow...
14:58
and his grandfather found him...

because he had a dream about the exact spot where he was trapped.

Wow! You had a boyfriend?

Oh, you have— You have a little thing.

Or we could just go back to your place and make out.

but you're a lot less of a dork than I thought. - Stick around.
16:42
I think you'll find I'm a lot less of everything.

You can do whatever you want to me.

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.
17:36

17:38
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.
