When everyone got home, Erwin realized that his younger son, Hamish Holmes, had been waiting for them for quite some time.

Hamish politely replied, "I've already thanked him on your behalf, Dad. He said to tell you that our families have been friends for so long, so it is only right that we help each other out. Additionally, he claimed that he wanted the families to become even closer."

Erwin nodded approvingly. "You did good, Hamish."

Carrey and Hamish bowed simultaneously. "Good night, Dad."
