Okay, Swanlings, these birds

are ready to fly.

[Laughter]

Hands in, everyone.

I move to declare this Swan

family dinner in session.

All: seconded.

[Laughter]

So any new business?

Oh, yes.

Why did you leave vghs?

Did you have a fight with

your friends?

I move we move on from this

line of inquiry.

All in favor, say, "aye."

Both: nay.

Call for a revote?

Both: nay.

[Laughter]

Well, if you must know,

you were right all along.

VGHS is dumb.

I would much rather go to vghs--

Video Game Home School.

[Laughter]

Honey, could we please turn

off your laughing robot?

We’re having a serious

conversation.

[Laughter]

No.

This is why I built Audie in the

first place, to lubricate

awkward social situations.

I could use some more social

lubricant myself.

[Laughter]

See?

Honey, we're really worried

about you.

Clearly you're running away

from something.

There’s nothing to worry

about.

I’ve just dropped out of school

to live with my parents

for the rest of my life.

[Laughter]

[Doorbell rings]

Oh, that must be Jenny with the

rest of my things.

Uh...

[Pounds table]

Meeting adjourned.

[Laughter]

One second.

Hi, Kiwi!

[Studio audience whoops]

Ted, Brian...

Welcome to my home.

[Laughter]

Um, Ki, can you open up?

I brought you flowers.

and I know you're really mad

at me right now.

I’m sorry.

Also, also, it was a

nine-hour cab ride, and I really

have to pee.

[Laughter]

[Sighs]

Wow.

Nice place.

Firstly, thank you

for the flowers.

Secondly...

I am very mad at you.

Oh, crap.

Brian, run!

You lied to me.

You stood me up for prom to go

to an erotic arcade.

and you killed Josh's virtual

pet.

Well, technically,

I let it starve.

[Scoffs loudly]

Good save, man.

and you, Brian...

for shame.

For what?

For--

I don't know.

I’m just really thrown by you

being here with Ted.

I thought you two were fighting.

well, we are.

But I called a truce because we

wanted to make sure that you're

okay.

Aw, thanks.

Yeah, turns out, with the

Whole Jenny thing and the whole

Ted thing, you're kind of the

only friend that I don't have

a thing with right now.

I miss you too.

What?

I miss you way more than he

does.

Oh, grow up, Ted.

grow a bigger butt, Brian.

Wow! God, why don't you two just

go and make out already?

Maybe we will.

Yeah, maybe we will.

Wait. We will?

Oh, no.

I mean, no, I never really--

Yeah, I never--

Me neither.

I just--I mean, you are...

you too.

What is happening?

[Laughter]

Okay, Ki, where do you want

this?

[Studio audience cheers]

Hi, Jenny.

Thanks for bringing my stuff.

You can just put that...

Anywhere.

Hi, Brian.

Jenny.

How’s it going?

Great. How are you?

Also great.

"Also great"?

What a coincidence.

I know--small world.

Yeesh, these two...

Frosty.

[Laughter]

Okay, what's with the

Laughing robot?

[Laughter]

Oh, you guys hear that too?

Of course we hear it.

It’s really distracting.

Her name is Audie, and she's

not distracting.

She’s charming.

[Audience aws]

Okay, that is weird, Ki.

Actually, yeah, are you okay?

Is this, like, a cry for help?

You’re a cry for help!

Oh.

[Chuckles nervously]

Mm.

Yeah, so, uh, I was fine before

you all showed up.

And thank you for coming,

everybody.

And if you could all please

leave, that would be excellent.

Nobody’s going anywhere.

No, if you kids are having

problems, you should face them

head-on.

Ooh, Karen, are you thinking

what I’m thinking?

Both: Couples Council.

No, not Couples Council.

I hate that game.

All in favor, say, "Aye."

Both: aye.

Aye.

ow.

[Laughter]

Couples Council is a little

game Karen and I whipped up

back when we first moved in

together.

Yes, and if it can get us

through the great dishwashing

argument, it can help you

kids too.

Ki, why don't you tell your

Friends the rules?

First, you pick a partner.

I call Ted.

Oh, fine.

I call Ki.

I want to be with Ki.

Well, I don't want to be

with you.

Don’t worry, Ted.

We are gonna crush these chumps.

Yeah, then Ki will have

to forgive me.

Hey, Ki, who's dumber--

Ted or Jenny for picking Ted?

Easy answer--Jenny.

[Gasps]

Yeah.

Better go put some

Ebelskivers on, honey.

It’s gonna be a long game.

[Laughter]

Ted, sit over there.

Jenny, can you recall for the

court the events of April 23rd?

Uh...

The day you broke up with me.

You broke up with me.

Yeah, 'cause you were gonna

break up with me.

Objection!

Your honor, counsel is

testifying.

We’re on the same team.

Yes, and you are blowing

our case.

[Gavel bangs]

Order in the court.

Unless you all want contempt

tokens, I suggest you move on.

We call to the stand

Theodore Wong.

I’m supposed to stand?

Just sit in the chair, Ted.

I’m supposed to sit.

[Sighs]

Ted...

Take responsibility for what

you've done, or we're never

getting back together.

Argumentative.

Sustained.

Come on, Ki, just take me

back already.

Why?

Because...

We are...

You know...

Soul mates!

How can we know that, though?

I mean, really, you're the first

boy I’ve ever dated Ted, and I’m the

first girl you've ever dated.

Ah, that's not true, though.

I went out with
