ROAD TRIP | OmeletoAdded:
Oh, mom, that's disgusting.
>> Oh, god. That is better. We're starting to hurt.
>> It's not even funny. Get your window down.
I've dropped a dress size.
>> Yeah, you've dropped something.
>> Oh god. Oh, it's actually meaty. Sorry about that.
>> Oh, but it is better with the window down. You can thank me later.
>> Yeah. Did you say you bought some snacks?
>> Yeah, down there.
>> Oh, you're a gem.
>> Got your favorite drink, >> your favorite cake, and your favorite fruit because it's good for you. And for that reason, you are out.
A lovely chocolate cake. M.
Oh, this great. You, me, the open road.
Well, like Batman and Rudy Robin. Oh, Thelma and Louise. That's so who we are.
>> Didn't they drive off a cliff?
>> Well, let's bloody well drive off a cliff then. Come on. Oh.
Oh, did you just Jackie Chan me?
>> Look, Thelma, you might want to die, but don't be dragging me down with you.
Okay.
>> Curled up your karate suit.
>> Yeah. Oh, there's more where that came from. So, just sh just >> You know what? I've forgotten.
>> What? A bloody toothbrush. I don't believe it. I'm going to have donkey breath.
>> You're not exactly planning on snogging anyone, are you? So, I think you'll be all right.
>> You're meant to say no. No, I'm not planning on kissing anyone.
>> Well, don't know what's going to be there, do we?
>> Might be a topless hunk around every corner waiting to meet me.
I'm just a natural woman with natural needs. What more can I say?
>> Oh, mom, that's disgusting. Please stop talking.
>> Where do you think you came from?
>> You found me in a skip. You've always told me that.
>> Oh, well, it's time for the truth. See, me and your dad, we used to go at it like >> Oh, stop.
>> Stop. Wouldn't stop halfway down a water slide, would you?
>> Oh, mom, it's gross. Just stop talking, please.
>> Oh, come on. Lighten up. You were always such a serious kid.
>> What's that supposed to mean?
>> Oh, don't get me wrong. I mean, you were a good smart kid. But you always kept your funny bits in a box. It's good to laugh. It's food for the soul. That's all I'm trying to say.
>> Well, have you ever stopped to think maybe you're just not as funny as you think you are?
>> Get in the bin, will you? No chance.
>> I can't get in the bin. It's too full of your crap jokes.
>> Well, there you go. That's my girl.
You're out the box.
Oh, I don't know. More people need to learn how to get out of their box.
People take themselves so seriously, don't they? Scared to laugh. Scared to cry.
>> Oh, fit the windows up, Mom.
Anyway, how's our Steven getting on a big school?
The kids still being nasty. It's just so different from the rest of them.
>> Oh, like a breath of fresh air, that lad.
Honestly, who cares whether he plays with Barbies or racing cars? He's a maverick. That's what he is. I couldn't be more proud of the lad.
Has he met anyone he likes?
>> That's a shame.
>> Apparently, he's holding out for Dolly Parton to reply to his letters.
>> Dolly Parton? He's old enough to be my grandma. Oh, that is excellent. He will be fine. He really will.
And you tell him his grandma loves him very much, won't you?
>> Yeah.
>> What's on the radio?
>> How's this work?
>> I think I'm really >> Maybe not.
Definitely not.
Oh, I love this song.
>> Oh, yeah. Like this.
>> Come on. Can you join in with me? Go on.
>> No.
>> Come on.
>> I'm not singing. SHOW ME WHAT YOU'VE GOT. Come on. I won't ask you again.
There ain't no more.
You're taking everything.
My belief in motherhood and you acknowled what it's worth la I'm going to say My life will always smile to come up and see me to make me smile.
I do what you want just la.
I'm sweating now.

>> I suppose you want it, do you?
>> No, I'm all right for my heads. Thanks.

Looks like we're here.
We've made it.
It's five-star luxury ever. I've seen it.
I love you so much, Mom.
I love you, too, sweetheart.
I'm really scared.
>> It's okay to be. We all are.
That doesn't make you weak, though.
You're the bravest person that I know.
No one else could have done what you've just done for me.
You helped me enjoy the last few hours of my life and for that I am so grateful.
>> Promise me one thing though.
Laugh as much as you can.
Hey, cuz otherwise what else is all this for? Eh, we will meet again, sweetheart.

Definitely won't be needing these anymore, but I know someone who might need them. Wrap them up. Give them to our Steven for his birthday, his next girlfriend or boyfriend.
They're going to need all the help they can get if they're competing with Dolly.
Come on, let it out.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my very tired heart.
