Don't worry, babe.

There'll be other
decorating jobs.

Oh, it's just that
the guy loved my ideas,

but then he started
using words like

"amortization"
and "depreciation."

I mean, up until today,

I thought that
a "budget spreadsheet"

was a marked down
futon cover.

It's just a budget,
Fran. You've worked
with budgets before.

Not really.

All the girlfriends
whose houses I decorated,
they said,

"It's my ex‐husband's
money. Bleed him dry."

That I know how to do.

It's one
of my superpowers.

But I really know nothing
about running a business.

Well, maybe
you should take

a business class
or something.

I don't know.
I never went to college.

I mean, my first
semester conflicted
with my third trimester.

And that was that.

Well, you're
not pregnant now.

Right?

No.

Well, then
there's nothing
stopping you.

Look at Josh.
He signed up for
a business class

at the
community college.

He might even
go for his M. B. A.

So you're saying
I should take
the same class as Josh?

Is that what
I'm saying?

Oh, you're so sexy
when you're smart.

Morning.

You know,
I'm a little nervous

about our first
day of school.

I've never been
to college,

but I bet it's a lot
like high school.

Really? In high school,
you gave birth to the kid
in the seat next to you?

That's so sweet.

You want me
to sit next to you?

Here you go, pal.

Your favorite breakfast.
Chocolate chip pancakes.

I swear, I told her
to take a class,
not your class.

Josh, I don't know
what you're
worried about.

I'm not gonna
do anything
to embarrass you.

How could I when
you're so adorable?

How many of these
would I have to eat
to stop my heart?

I'm kidding.

Nobody is going
to make fun of you

because
you're in a class
with your mother.

Smile for your
first day of
"Mommy and Me."

Leave your
brother alone

or I'm going
to chaperon your prom.

I gotta run.

I have a yearbook
committee meeting.

Oh.

She doesn't have
time for us

now that
she's a big shot.

I'm just the first
sophomore ever

to be named photo editor
of the yearbook.

No biggie,

but in your face,
Tiffany Finkleman.

(laughs)

Hey, did anyone
notice that second label

coming out from
under her sweatshirt?

Oh, yeah,
there it goes.

Off comes
the sweatshirt.
(gasps)

Would you look
at that slutty top?

Hey, who said
she could borrow that?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

She's getting
in that car with a boy.

Well, it's a big day
for the Reeves family.

Allison has
a new boyfriend,

and I'm going
to college.

With me. If I show up
to class without pants,

it'll be my recurring
nightmare come true.

♪ And I ♪

♪ Feel beautiful
right now ♪

♪ For the first time
in a long time ♪

♪ I'm letting my hair down ♪

♪ And life ♪

♪ Gets better every day ♪

♪ Though it seems
so complicaTed ♪

♪ We're gonna work it out ♪

♪ Whatever comes our way ♪

And, after my divorce,

I started dating
my current boyfriend

who is much
more supportive,

not to mention younger
and better looking.

That's not the reason
why I love him,

though I'd be lying

if I said the sex
wasn't fantastic.

Thank you for sharing,
Ms. Reeves.

Next time, a simple "here"
or "present" will suffice.

Oh. Here.

Ha ha ha.
Josh Reeves.

It's pronounced
Ree‐ev‐vez.

There's
no relation.

Okay, today let's start

with some terms that
you'll need to know.

Psychographic analysis,

A.K.A. lifestyle analysis,

relies on a number
of statements

about a person's activities,
interests, or opinions

to determine their...

Can determine essential
motivators for individual
purchasing behavior.

Laddering is a technique
in which representatives

of the population of interest

are asked to identify
the attributes which best...

Oh, Joshie,
I know you're busy,

and I don't want
to disturb you,

but can I ask you
one question?

Okay.

What does everything
in this book mean?

Okay, Mom, I don't
have time for
this right now.

Oh, you're right,
what was I thinking

going back to college
after spending my youth

trying to make sure
that my kids have
a good education?

Eh, I don't
need a career.

When I'm old
and destitute,

I'll live with you.

Okay, have a seat.

Okay, listen to this.

"The Law
of Diminishing Returns."

The tendency
for an application

to decline
in effectiveness

after a certain level
of result has been achieved.

And?

And I don't know
what the hell I just said.

Okay, let's just say
you invenTed a new
designer purse,

and it retails for
a hundred dollars.

Well, that's gotta be
a knock‐off, right?

Okay, a thousand
dollars.

Well, who's gonna buy it
for a thousand dollars

when you could get
the knock‐off for a hunny?

Mom.
What?

Focus.

Okay, look, um,
let's say you

created 10 of these
designer purses,

and, uh, then you
could charge a lot
for them, right?

Right.

But if you created
a million of them,

you'd have to price
it much lower.

Of course, because
the more there are,

the less they're worth.

Like the Baldwin brothers.

Exactly. Just think
of it as "The Law of
Diminishing Baldwins."

Guys, guys,

Allison's out front
in that car with that boy.

I'm gonna take
the trash out,
get a look‐see.

Oh, don't bother.

Let's just
invite them in.

Yeah, like she's
gonna bring him
in here to meet us.

It's all in how you
do the inviting.

Hi, Allison.

Listen, I just
wanTed to let you know

we are all at the mall,
so if you're hungry,

I've got some leftover
egg rolls in the refrigerator.

Bye, babe. Love you.

5, 4, 3, 2‐‐

Hi, Allison.

God, I should've known.

When was the last time
you ever left anyone
an egg roll?

Well, who do
we have here?

Mom, this is Todd.

Todd, my mother.

It's a pleasure.

Oh, the pleasure's mine.

Allison's told me
a lot about you.

Oh, you know
she lies.

Well, it's clear
where she gets
her good looks.

But your honesty
is very refreshing.

And you must be Josh.

Ah, you know
she lies.

Ha ha ha.

I hope so.

You know,
I'm just kidding, man.

I really think
it was courageous of you

to drop out of med school
and turn your life around.

Well,
thank you, Todd.

I think it's very
courageous of you
to date my sister.

And you must be
the guy I gotta
watch out for

if I get Allison home
late for her curfew, huh?

Yeah.

Allison, you told me
there was an age
difference here.

Which one of you's
older again?

Oh. (laughing)

So, how did
you two meet?

I took Todd's picture
for the yearbook.

He's the star
of the school play.

Oh, Allison,
I'm not the star.

I mean, Juliet's almost
as important as I am,

even if her name
doesn't come first.

So, Todd,
a hypothetical question.

You're in the backseat
of a car with a young
virgin named Allison‐‐

Okay, we are...So done.

I'm walking Todd out,

blindfolding him,
spinning him around,

so he can never
find his way back here. Bye.

It's really nice
to meet you all.

Nice meeting you, Todd.

Well, I like him.

I should find
somebody nice
to fix him up with.

(sighs)
Nice boy.

Yeah.

Good looking.
Polite.

Seems smart.

I hate him.
Me, too.

But keep it
to yourself.

If she finds out
that we disapprove,

it'll just
drive them
closer together.

But he's just so slick.

I mean, did you
hear what he said
about you and me

looking like
we were the same‐‐

he's just so slick.

Mom.

Huh?

Are you okay?

Oh, yeah, I'm fine.

Why do you ask?

You're not blinking.

I'm on the Red Bull.

Some of the kids
in the student union

told me that that's
what they drink

when they want to stay awake
when they're studying.

How many
did you have?

I don't know.
They're very small.

Ooh, look at that.

That's not normal, is it?

Oh, god.

Oh, no. It's all good.
It's all good.

I'm not falling
asleep today.

(snapping)
I'm awake. I'm aware.
I am ready for anything.

Okay...

Today we're
having a pop quiz.

Huh?

You will define
25 marketing terms.

(class groans)

(whispering) Josh, Josh,
I can't do this.

I'm not good
at pop quizzes.

Just relax.

TEACHER: Okay,
you may begin.

Ooh.

Psst.

Psssssst.

Josh,
I'm going, "Psst."

Leave me alone.

Just tell me what's
"market segmentation."

Is it the cheap purses
or the diminishing Baldwins?

I can't think
which is which.

Shh.

Look, I gave you life.

Now give me those
freakin' answers.

Mom.

Excuse me.
Aah!

That kind of behavior
will not be tolerated.

Leave the classroom.

I tried to warn you.

Both of you.

Huh?

Oh, but he
wasn't cheating.

You were talking
during a test.

That's considered cheating.

Now get your things
together and go.

Well...

I'm wearing
my pants,

so I guess
this is real.

Thank you, mom.

Oh, oh...

(whimpering)

Is this gonna
affect our grades?

Out!
Oh...

Hi. Oh, riley,

you are not
gonna believe

what happened
in class today.

They threw me out
for cheating.

What happened?

I was cheating.

And the worst
part of it is

they threw
Josh out, too.

Josh was helping
you cheat?

No.

If he would've
helped me,

I wouldn't have
gotten caught.

Ah, I'm so
worried about him.

I called him 18 times,
and he hasn't
picked up once.

Well, maybe he's just
out of calling range.

No, he's not
out of range.

He text messaged me.

What'd it say?

"Stop calling me."

Oh, Allison, have
you seen your brother?

TODD:
No, he's not home.

Thank you, Allison

Hey, Ri. What
you workin' on?

Just putting
some new hardware
in the cabinets.

Oh, my dad always
says there just
aren't enough people

who work with their
hands these days.

I mean, it only
takes one guy to
design the pyramids,

but thousands
of guys like you

to drag the stones
to the top.

(drill buzzes)

Oh, Joshie,
you're home.
I have to talk to you.

If I have anything
to say to you,
I'll write it down,

and you can read it
off my paper.

Oh, Joshie,
I'm so sorry.

I was totally wrong, but
you have to forgive me.

I mean, even Roy
forgave that tiger.

You know, mom,
this class was
actually important to me.

I actually felt like
I was back on track,

and thanks to you,
I can now look back

at my nervous breakdown
at medical school
as "the good ol' days."

Oh.

Fran, did you know that
Todd was running for
junior class president?

You're gonna
love his slogan.

"In Todd We Trust."

Can I kill him...
Just a little?

Honey, I can't
think about Todd.

I'm worried about Josh.

I have to make
this right with him.

Yeah, he's taking it
pretty hard, huh?

Oh, yeah. I shouldn't
have done what I did,

but listen, I don't
want you to start
blaming yourself.

Me?

Well, yeah. You're
the one that blabbed

all about Josh
taking a class,

and you know
how I am.

But it's not my fault.

Well, that's
the spirit, dear.

Mr. Bryant, I need
to talk to you about
what happened in class.

No, you don't.

Okay, look, I know
I was wrong, and I'm
terribly sorry,

but sometimes when
I'm asked questions
under pressure,

I panic and I give
the wrong answer.

Like the time I said,
"I do."

Ms. Reeves,
I cannot reinstate you.

What about my son?
He deserves
a second chance.

Why?

Well, let's do
a psychographic analysis
of the kid, shall we?

I mean, he's got
an ivy league degree.

He's young, he's bright,
he's got his mother's
good looks.

There aren't a lot
of kids like him around.

And, according to
the law of supply
and demand,

the fewer of them
there are, the more
valuable they become.

And may I say...

That tie is very
slimming on you.

Well, uh, Ms. Reeves,
you obviously
know your terms.

Well, when I'm selling
my son, it's easy.

So can he get back
in the class?

Yeah, sure. Fine.
He's back in.

How 'bout me?
No.

You cheated.

Give me the test again,

then if I pass,
you can let me back in.

I don't know
if I can do that.

If I don't get
100% of the questions
right,

you'll never
see me again.
Have a seat.

Oh, Josh, guess what.

I talked to Mr. Bryant,
and he's gonna let you
back into the class!

Is there a...
Funny twist?

If you mean am I coming
in the class, too, no.

But I did take
a make‐up test,

and I passed,
thanks to the way
you taught me.

Then shouldn't you
be back in the class?

And that was a question,
not a suggestion.

No. That class
really isn't for me.

I only took it because
you were in it.

I really need to have
a class about being
in a small business.

I can't be wasting my time
learning about
the Baldwin brothers.

You know,
it's really ironic, Josh.

I never went to college
because I had you.

And I never really knew
if I could cut it.

And now,
because I have you,

I found out that I could.

Are you...
Trying to make me
happy or guilty?

I'm a mother.
I want both.

I give blood once
a year because I'm
type O‐negative,

the universal
donor.

Yeah. My blood could
save the life of
anyone in this room.

Even yours?

Hey, everybody.

Guess who's back
in school.

Joshie!

And only Joshie.

Hey, Fran,
that is great.

Whoa! ♪ Company ♪

I hate him so much.

Hey, nice pictures,
Allison.

Let me see.
Let me see.

Oh, look at this!

Todd!

Todd.

Todd.

A horse.
Underneath Todd.

Wow! Todd's gonna be
in the yearbook
a lot, huh?

No. Those
are for the program
for the school play.

I'm kinda not doing
yearbook anymore.

What? Why?

Well, if she wants
to take pictures,

she can take 'em whenever.

This way, we can spend
more time together.

But honey, I thought‐‐

We talked about it,
and we decided‐‐

Todd, Allison can speak.

I know because I pay
her cell phone bill.

Mom, it's really
no big deal.

Okay. Sweetie, can we go in
the living room a minute?

I just wanna show you
something.

Hey, Ri, which one
would you hang?

The one in the middle

what do you want
to show me?

The error of your ways!

What the hell
is going on here?

Todd thought you
might go postal‐‐

Listen, I don't care
what Todd thinks.

But I don't like
when he starts
thinking for you.

Your father was
exactly like this
with me,

and I don't want
my little girl‐‐

Mom, I really like
Todd.

He's a junior,
he's popular,

and he is Romeo.

Every girl wants
to be with him,
but he chose me.

He's my boyfriend,
so you're just gonna
have to deal.

Okay, fine. Don't learn
from my mistakes.

But don't you come
cryin' to me

when all of your girlfriends
want to go to the Ramones

and you can't
'cause you gotta
breast feed Josh!

Even for you...

That was weird.

Hey.

Hey.

So how did that
go?

Terrible. I did exactly
what I said I wasn't
gonna do,

and now I've brought them
even closer together.

Oh, don't worry.

I got this Todd
figured out.

He's just like Ted.

I got rid of Ted.
I'll get rid of Todd.

The tricky part'll be
getting his house.

Whoa! ♪ Company! ♪

Maybe even some day
we'll get rid of him.
