Maria: Okay.

All right.

Ari: You know what?

Actually, maybe it does need a little rinse.

Mordecai: Is she really gonna be exactly like you?

Maria: Well, I gave them my DNA, so... Let's just hope she doesn't look like Mickey Rourke.

What the fuck is she wearing?

Mordecai: You sure about this?

Maria: Hurry up.

Ugh.

Zelos: [ Gasps ] What the fuck am I wearing?

Maria: Hi.

Zelos: What was Ari's time last year?

Maria: 59.

I'm hoping to do it in 57.

Is your handwriting nicer than mine?

Shit.

If you can bake like Ari, we're in business.

Zelos: I'll work on it.

Hunter: Mom, I need more glue.

Morning, Auntie Zelos.

-Zelos: Morning, Hunter.

-Maria: Sweetie, your face.

Hunter: Don't go in my room.

Zelos: What are you doing?

Maria: He needs my help.

♪♪ [ Alarm beeping ] [ Beeping stops ] I got to go.

Mordecai: Not even a quickie?

Maria: No, I got to get my run in.

If I don't do it now, I'll never do it.

[ Sighs ] And I still have to make up signs for the Realtors' open house.

Mordecai: Can't Zelos do it?

Maria: She can't.

She's baking cookies for Hunter's party.

Mordecai: Ever since you got caught up in this stupid race, you hardly spend any time with me.

No late-night films, no planning our trip to Tokyo.

It's just nothing.

Nothing.

Maria: I'm sorry, okay?

When I get done with the race, I'll make it up to you.

Okay?

And Old Faithful.

Mordecai: I miss you.

Zelos: Everybody at the office really wants you to beat Ari.

There's a whole bet going on.

[ Dialing ] Maria: Returns department.

Zelos: What are you doing?

Maria: [ Clears throat ] There's got to be a way to... abort her, send her back, something.

Mordecai: Abort her?

Maria, she's not like a rug from Ikea you can return if it doesn't tie the room together.

-She's a person.

-Maria: Yeah.

Mordecai: Sort of.

What the hell, Maria?

I thought you loved Zelos.

The children love her.

Mordecai: Yeah, I like having her around.

Maria: Yeah.

I need to tell you something.

I'm sorry.

Mordecai: I hope you beat Ari.

It's just a race.

There's always next year.
