inside man.
Oh.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Hey, come on!
Watch the road! Safety first.
What are you doing here?
- Tell me.
- I, uh-- I--
Nothing. I swear.
I thought all ofthis was cool.
I wanted to take a look at it.
You don't go to other people's homes
uninvited, and you don't touch their things.
Didn't I warn you what would happen
ifl ever caughtyou in here again?
Not specifically.
Trust me.
It won't be pleasant.
What doyou want?
I thought I heard
the boy. Ah!
And indeed I did.
I don't want him bothering you anymore,
so I'll just get him out ofyourway.
Come along, Kevin.
He'll be my responsibility
from now on.
Thankyou for
saving me, Molly.
Prescott is a good person
to stay away from.
You're telling me.
He's one ofthe bad guys--
the bad guys who
broke into the house.
Although technically they didn't break in,
because they had their own remote.
- And who do you think gave them that?
- Prescott?
- Mm-hmm.
- That sounds a bit far-fetched to me.
I know. And you probably think
I have an overactive imagination.
Most people do.
But you have to believe me.
Kevin, Prescott is a lonely man.
The only thing he has is this job.
Between you and me,
he hates working here.
- But to do what you're suggesting--
- Then it all makes perfect sense.
He hates his job, so he tries to pull off
a big heist so he can afford to quit.
- Ah, I don't know.
- Listen.
He told my dad I was lying
when I wasn't.
Andhe shut offthe security cameras.
So it can onlymean one thing.
- And that is?
- Marv and his new friend...
have an inside guy--
- Prescott.
- I thinkyou're right.
- I am?
- Yeah. You do have an overactive imagination.
But that's what I love
about children.
My own son was the same
as you atyour age-- a real handful.
You must have been
a great mom, Molly.
Well, you just try to keep
that imagination under control, okay?
You were veryunderstanding
about what happened today.
Well, Kevin's going through
a difficult time.
It's not easy
when your parents split up.
Believe me, I know.
But we'll get through it.
You're gonna be
a great stepmom.
I thinkwe just need to figure out
a way to make him feel more at home here.
Maybe do some ofthe Christmas things
he's used to doing, like trimming the tree.
- You do thatyourself?
- Yes, I do that myself.
It's fun. That's exactlywhat we're gonna do.
We're gonna trim the tree.
It'll get us in the spirit
ofthings, unite us as a family.
- Okay.
- Okay?
No friends, no fun, no snow.
This is definitely gonna be
the worst Christmas ever.
Hey, Kev.
How you doing?
What do you saywe forget
about today and start over, huh?
- You mean it?
- Yeah.
Natalie's really a great person.
You just gotta get to know her better.
I thinkwe should start having
a little more fun around here.
- I could live with that.
- Yeah?
Why don't we start
by trimming that tree?
- Now?
- Sure. Why not?
Hello.
I can't hearyou.
Can you turn down the music?
Music, off.
What did you say?
Ofcourse we'll be there.
We wouldn't miss it.
Let me call you back.
Evangelista's in town. Margaret's throwing
together a little impromptu supper...
but we shouldn't go,
should we?
Well, why don'tyou go ahead without me,
and Kevin and I will finish up over here?
Really? You wouldn't mind?
No. They'reyour friends anyway.
You're an angel.
I won't be home late.
Okay.
Where were we?
- You don't have to stay because of me.
- No, I want to stay. Really.
So, does Natalie go out
every night?
Pretty much. She leads a very exciting life--
more exciting than we're used to.
So you'd say
you're not in a rut?
No, I'm not in a rut. Why?
I thought maybe
that's whyyou left.
Kevin. Kevin, you know--
I didn't leave your mom
to be with Natalie, okay?
- That just kind ofhappened later.
- You wanna tell me about it?
Adult relationships are just complicated.
Sometimes when two people get married
reallyyoung likeyour mom and I did...
you just end up
feeling
