"Kids!! Breakfast!!!" Claire yells from the kitchen. Phil enters in workout clothes "Phil, would you get them please,"

"Yeah, just a sec," He walks over to the fridge which is behind Claire, opens it, takes something out, and doesn't close the door.

"Kids!!" Claire yells again. She picks up a bowl of cereal and turns around hitting the open fridge door and dropping the bowl in the process.

"Kids, get down here," Phil calls out.

"Why are you guys yelling at us when we're way upstairs?" Haley walks in busy with her phone and wearing a short skirt. "Just text me,"

"All right, that not gonna happen," She sees what she's wearing, "and, wow, you're not wearing that outfit,"

"What's wrong with it?" Haley asks. Claire hands her some toast.

"Honey, do you have anything to say to our daughter about her skirt?" Claire asks.

Phil looks up from his phone and at Haley, "Sorry. Yeah, that looks cute, sweetheart,"

Haley smiles at the compliment, "Thanks,"

"No, it's way too short," Claire tells her, "people know you're a girl. You don't need to prove it to them,"

"Luke stuck his head in the banister again," Alex says matter of fact as she walks in and heads for the fridge.

"I got it," Phil says as he starts walking away, "where's the baby oil?"

"It's in our bedside..." She stops herself from continuing that sentence, "I don't know find it,"

Alex takes the toast from her hand and walks away. Claire turns around and hits the open fridge door again. "Come on!"

{Interview}

"I was out of control growing up. There, I said it," Claire says sitting on the couch next to Phil. "I just don't want my kids making the same bad mistakes I made. If Haley never wakes up on a beach in Florida half naked, I've done my job,"

"Our job," Phil corrects.

Claire nods, "Right, I've done our job,"

Gloria and Jay watch as Gloria's son Manny plays in a soccer game. Gloria paces around shouting instructions at Manny. Jay, dressed in a tracksuit, sits in a low folding chair, reading the paper.

"Vamos, Manny, kick it! Kick it! Don't let him-- kick it!"

The opposing player trips Manny.

"He tripped him! Where's the penalty?"

"Gloria, they're 0 and 6. Let's take it down a notch," Jay tells her.

{Interview}

"We're very different," Gloria says pointing to herself and Jay, "Jay's from the city, has a big business. I come from a small village, very poor, but very, very beautiful. It is the number one village in all Colombia for all the..." Gloria tries to remember how to say it in English. She turns to Jay, "What's the word?"

"Murders,"

"Jes, the Murders,"

{End}

An opposing player gets the ball. It's only Manny between him and the goal.

"Get the ball! Manny! Stop him! You can do it!" Gloria yells.
