Night came and Sam ran back to his apartment looking for Carly.

Sam: Carly!

Outside, Ron and Judy are on the bus they brought.

Ron: Hot from our little campfire.

Judy: Aww.

Ron: S'mores. Isn't that great? We were really living off the land.

Sam gets on the bus.

Sam: Mom, Dad, have you guys seen Carly come home yet?

Judy: Excuse me. Can you knock, please? This is our bedroom.

Ron: Why wouldn't she be at home?

Sam: We had a fight, and we might have broken up or be on a break. I don't really know.

Judy: What? No.

Sam: Look, I can't- I just can't- talk about it right now.

Judy: You've got to be kidding me.

Sam: I can't go into details, Mom. I have to find her.

Judy: Sit down! We're having a family meeting.

Judy pushes Sam to sit down.

Judy: Family meeting! You may not know this, but your father and I were not always this perfectly happy. You know, there was a time in our marriage when I thought this was not gonna work out. I just can't understand-

Sam: Can we please not?

Ron: She's damaging him.

Judy: You break up with one world-class hottie-

Sam: No. Stop. Stop, okay?

Judy: Yeah.

Sam: She dumped me, I moved on to something better. That's it. I'm a happier person.

Judy: The second beautiful girl, and you lose her-

Sam: Why don't you help me?

Ron: They had an argument.

Judy: You're a good-looking kid, and-

Sam: One fight.

Judy: You're not gonna get a third one, I mean, unless you have like a big-

Sam: What the f- Mom, mom, mom!

Judy: Maybe it's something else. Maybe you just don't know what you're doing.

Sam: I don't want to talk about this anymore.

Judy: You need the book.

Ron: You're always wrong. Get used to it.

Judy comes over with a book.

Judy: Tell him about the book. Okay. This. You've gotta read this. 'She Comes First.' There's some killer shit in here.

Sam: No. No. No.

Ron: Oh. That's it, I'm going.

Sam: No. No! No!

Judy: Sit down! Sit down! Back me up!

Ron: Happy wife, happy life.

Judy: Heck yeah.

Ron: Unhappy wife, stone-cold misery for the rest of your-

Judy: Stop.

Ron: It's true.

Judy: All I'm saying is, do you love this girl?

Sam: She's the one.

Judy: Then you gotta go get her. I mean, your dad and I, when we had troubles, he moved heaven and earth to find me. Look at- Say what you said. Say it.
