Well, um, I need you I need you to drive me to Dublin.

Let me tell you something about Dublin, Nana from Boston.
Dublin is a city of chances and cheats and backstabbing snakes. It's where the worst of humanity collects to poison this fair country.
I wouldn't drive you to Dublin if you were the offer me.
500 euro. Jesus.
You tell me why for 500 euro. Trust me, you'd have few takers.

Edward Scissorhands over there told me that you two were [ __ ] each other for a whole goddamn year while we were together.
How about that, Sarah?
I'm sorry, Peter.
Pete, you shouldn't be up and walking around. Can you please just >> Please don't touch me, okay? Just don't touch me, okay? I'm not touching you.
Will you just please sit?
Please?
All right, I'll sit down, but I'm sitting down cuz I want to, not because you've asked me to. Sit.
Okay?
Great.
I'm here.
Listen, I get it, okay? I just I need to understand what I did to make you cheat.
I just >> Cheat?
It's not anything you did. You didn't do anything. I mean, you were great.
>> Will you please cut the [ __ ] and have a talk with me?
>> Fine.
Cutting the [ __ ] It got really hard to keep taking care of you when you stopped taking care of yourself. I tried to get you out of the house. I tried to get you off your little island you love so much, the couch.
You didn't want to see the light of day.
God, there was one week when you you wore sweatpants every day.
YOU SHALL [screaming] NOT PASS!
OH, you know what? If they were Sean John sweatpants, it would have been fine, but because they're Costco brand, it's like the worst thing I could do. It has nothing to do with it. That's what you don't get.
I'm sorry that I didn't end up being who we thought I was going to be, you know?
I tried really hard. I promise you that.
I just didn't have it in me.
I think if you just maybe tried harder >> Oh, I tried.
You have no idea how hard I tried, Peter. I talked to a therapist. I talked to my mother. I read every book possible. I took love seminars. I took sex seminars. None of it worked. None of it made a difference to you, and I couldn't drown with you anymore.
Don't you dare sit there and tell me that I didn't try.
I did.
You were just too stupid to notice.
>> Hi sweetheart, will you please take a bite of lasagna, honey? Do you not like it?
Hey, what's the good word Grandpa Jack?
Greg.
This is Jack Byrnes.
Yeah, I know. I just I I could tell from the caller ID. How you doing? Greg, excuse yourself from the table by saying these exact words. I don't know if I still have it, but let me check my files.
What? Pam asks you what I want, tell her that I asked you to locate your birth certificate for my genealogical work.
Just do it.
Um Uh I don't know if I have that, Jack, but let me check my files.
Files? You have files?
Yes. Yeah, I do. I keep files.
Um he wants me to get my birth certificate for that family tree thing he's doing.
Jack?
Everything okay? Everything is fine, Greg. I suffered a minor heart attack, but I was able to defibrillate myself before going into fatal cardiac arrest.
Jesus. You defibrillated yourself? The doctor said I was a lucky man. I just got to watch my diet and keep my stress level down. Wow, okay. So So I guess you guys aren't going to be able to come to the twins birthday party.
>> No, no. Dina and I will be there as planned, Greg. And uh I was able to keep this on a need-to-know basis. And right now, you are the only person who needs to know. Well, come on, Jack. I mean, I think Dina needs to know. Greg, just stop talking and listen. Okay.
Now, my geological research has allowed me to track the Byrnes family as far back as 1643. 1643?
Now, I wouldn't be able to do that same your family, but with all wandering peddlers and nameless peasants. Mhm. But as long as there've been Byrneses, there's always been a patriarch to lead our family through good times and bad.
And I've finally come to the realization that the next in line to the throne, Greg, is you.
Me?
Yes, you, Greg.
Well, So, my question is this. In the event of my demise, are you prepared to lead this [music] family?
You know, Jack, we're we're right in the middle of dinner. Maybe we could talk about this, you know, when you come into town. If I go down, Greg, I need to know someone will be responsible for the whole Byrnes clan. So, I ask you, Greg, are you prepared to be the Godfocker?
The Godfocker?
The Godfocker.
Well, that is a very powerful [music] turn of phrase, Jack. And uh when you say Godfocker, I mean, uh I mean, it's I I think I know what you mean, but I'm I just What What I mean, what what exactly does that does that mean? It's an attitude, Greg. It's a confidence.
It's the way you carry yourself that lets the world know that the buck stops with you.
Yeah, I hear you. Mhm. None of this can be achieved without the basics.
A secure home [music] for your family, Mhm. a top-notch education for your children, Okay. and last but not least, having your financial house in order, Greg. Is that it?
Are you laughing?
Yeah, I know. I'm just I was making No.
>> Because this is no laughing matter, Greg. Good, cuz I'm not laughing, okay?
Are you saying you have what it takes to be the Godfocker?
Greg.
Yes.
Jack, I have [music] what it takes to be the Godfocker.
I feel like a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
And an equally great weight put onto yours.
I like it.
>> [music] >> I like the weight.
I want it.
All right.
Need to know. Need to know.
>> [music] >> Just you and me. See you in 2 weeks.
Okay.
Bye.
How did you find it?
Find what?
Your birth certificate?
Yes, it was in my files.
You know, I was thinking maybe we should take a look at that early human school.
Great. I'll make some phone calls, set up a tour.
Good.
Good.
Just married.
>> Yeah.
How'd you guess?
>> Oh, you've got that magic newlywed dust all over you.
Oh, my wife. Oh, my husband.
>> Oh, my wife.

Um excuse me, missus. I've lost a shoe, like this one. It's like this one's fellow. The sort of the exact opposite, in fact, of that.

I got a pool suite.
Have a good trip, Peter. You too. I'll call Lawson's back.
Um thank you. Thank you for bailing me out. I still I can't afford that room.
Nobody can. It's for like Oprah or like something beyond, really. It's not a big deal. So, you can stay in the suite, but since you're not technically a guest, you have to clean up after yourself.
Otherwise, here is your room key.
And enjoy your stay.

Hey, Jack.
You mind explaining this?
What's that? Oh.
What's this? Tingo. Yeah, that's you know, these drug companies, they give me all these free samples.
Is that it?
Or do you need to use this because you're no longer sexually attracted to Pam?

That's ridiculous. Really? You know what? I'm not even going to go there with you. This is I'm good night, all right? I'm going to I'm going to go sleep. Don't walk away from me, Focker.
Jack, is everything okay down there?
Everything is fine. Okay.
All right, cuz you seem to have a little I mean, I know what I have, Greg, and I'm not concerned about that right now.
Right now, what I want from you is the truth.
Jack, did you take one of those pills? Well, I was highly preoccupied and Dina wanted to make love, and the label clearly states that it's safe for heart patients. Yes, but you need a prescription after you've had a thorough examination. How long have you had that situation for?
Stop avoiding the question.
>> avoiding the question. If you've had that for more than 4 hours, you could bust a capillary and have serious permanent damage. How long have you had it? It's been a little longer than 4 hours. How long? Um maybe about 5 and 1/2. Jack, you got to get to an ER right now and get a shot of adrenaline to counteract that drug.
>> Well, you're a nurse, don't you have that kind of stuff in the house? Yeah, I have an EpiPen, but I'm not going to give you a shot there, okay? [ __ ] it.

Relax, okay?
I'll get the needle.
All right, I need you to drop your pants.
What kind of sick drug are you dealing to your patients? Jack, I told you I took home some samples, right? Maybe you read the label before you just pick up a drug and eat it. Let's just do it.
I'm going to administer the shot on the count of three.
Just relax.
Okay, just Your hands are cold. Sorry.
Okay.
One.
Two.
THREE. [ __ ] [screaming] OFF!
OH, [ __ ] HERE WE ARE, THE best little B&B in Temperary.
