I'm Mark Cyr,
eleventh grade English.

I just gave nicotine gum
to my daughter's teacher.

Will you go out
with me?

Hi. I'm Gaby.
Max's behavioral aide.

KRISTINA: It's just so nice to
see Max play with other kids.

You make it
seem so easy.

I got the results of the
paternity test. I have a son.

I'm a father.

YOGA INSTRUCTOR:
Hips up, heels down.

Very good.

Back down
to your knees.

Breathing in, now inhale, arching
your back up like a kitty cat.

And exhale.

(EXHALING FORCEFULLY)
Extending out like a cow.

Moo...

Boy, you weren't kidding.
This yoga's great.

(WHISPERING) Shh. You're
not supposed to talk.

(WHISPERING) Okay,
I'll stop talking.

YOGA INSTRUCTOR: And hips
up into downward facing dog.

Oh.

(GRUNTING)

JABBAR: Crosby, you're
doing it wrong again.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah,
I'm aware of that.

How old is your son?

Oh, this is Jabbar.
He's five.

I'm five, too.

I'm five-and-a-half.

I'm five-
and-three-quarters.

Well, Jabbar, I think this is what
the yogis would call fate. Hmm?

Would you boys like to
come over for a play date?

If that's okay
with your dad?

Oh, yeah,
we love play dates.

Okay.
Great.

Can't wait.
Yeah, me neither.

(ALL EXHALING)

Okay.

YOGA INSTRUCTOR:
One more, inhale...

And exhale.

KRISTINA: You have to
breathe, Adam. Almost there.

Breathe.
(GRUNTING) Almost there.

Haddie!
What?

Come here.

Honey, what about
these for tomorrow?

Look, these were in
the Goodwill. No, Mom.

They're perfect.
No, Mom, Mom.

They're perfect.
You're not serious.

Aunt Julia works
in a real office.

I wore these
real places.

What are you talking
about? These are cute.

(SIGHS) It's career week.
And I get to take Monday off

to shadow somebody in
the career of my choosing.

What's wrong
with my career?

I can really answer
that if you want?

Ah! (LAUGHS)

KRISTINA: Okay.
Got it!

Good job, honey.
Got it! High five!

Whoo! Okay, all right, let's do it.

So cute.
No.

Here we go.

No, this is one of those Braverman
family fun things, and I'm not doing it.

Yes, it is.

Well, I'm going to a
movie at 5:00 with Steve.

And Mom already
gave me permission.

Sorry. All right, you
know what? It's fine.

We still have an hour for Braverman
family bonding. You guys mount up.

I'm going to go
get the boy.

Well, the boy still has
40 minutes left with Gaby.

No, he doesn't.

Uh, yeah, he does. It's on the
gigantic schedule in the kitchen,

and it's hard to miss.

I'm sorry, honey. I did...
We can do this another time.

This is gonna be great!
We've got 20 minutes.

We're going to go
around the block.

Honey, we can do this another
time. It's not a big deal.

Mom. He has to stick to that schedule.

I don't think we should stop right now.

(EXHALES) You're going to get
paid for the entire session.

Come on, it's... It's an
entire Sunday afternoon off.

I'm sure there are plenty of
other things you'd rather be doing.

We're really making strides
with his sticker system right now

and I'd hate to derail
that hard work. Gaby...

Gaby, I finished math. Uh, can I
have my Spider-Man stickers now?

How are you doing, pal?

Actually, Max, the deal was you finish
math and reading and you get your stickers.

Okay. Can we start
reading then?

Get to it.

Yeah, it's nice.
It's nice to live here.

And, of course,
what 38-year-old woman

does not enjoy living
at home with her parents?

It's a real... (LAUGHING) Sounds fun.

I just told you
how old I am.

(LAUGHS) That's okay.
I... I... You're...

You have a daughter
who's a junior.

I kind of assumed you didn't
have her when you were 10.

Really?
Yeah.

(SIGHING)

You wanna know actually what
I was thinking just there?

Yes.

Uh, you've had your arms crossed
for almost this entire walk,

and I really want
to hold your hand.

But, I don't know how to do
that when they're like that.

Do I try to go for that
one or that? I mean, it's...

So, I don't know if...
Well, there you go.

See, that's what
I'm talking about.

You're...
You're so good.

I've got 12 years on you.

That's true.

(LAUGHS)

I'm sorry.
Oh, sorry.

No, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I misread
the hand holding thing.

No, you didn't.
Come here.

(CLEARING THROAT)

It's just, uh...

I just can't stop thinking
about Amber. (EXHALES)

I lied to her today.

I was gonna tell her.

And then she called me
pulchritudinous and I got distracted.

Oh, you think
that's funny.

No, no, that means
beautiful, pulchritudinous.

It's one of
her SAT words.

It is? She used it
appropriately. I'm proud of her.

Thanks.

Dumb.

No. Here's a thought
about Amber.

I think that we should
take like, uh, a test run.

Where we make out and we
just see how that goes.

Because it would be a total
waste if we told Amber and then,

it turns out that we
actually repulse each other.

Okay.

Okay.

(INHALES DEEPLY)

Nothing.
No chemistry.

Mmm-mmm.
No spark. Nothing.

Not a thing. Just let
me try one more time.

(HONKING)

Okay, I'm coming.
I'm ready.

Oh, look at you.

I know! Do you like my
hair, like, done like yours?

Haddie! Haddie!
You forgot your lunch.

Um, it's okay. Aunt Julia
said she's taking me out.

It's egg salad.

Okay, morning, Kristina. We're burning
billable hours here, so we got to go.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Julia,
thank you so much for doing this.

Of course. It's so sweet
of you. She's so excited.

Oh, good.
Can I give you some money?

No, no.
Can I go get some money for...

No, I'm taking her out
on the firm's dime.

Oh, if you're sure, that's
great. Thank you. Yeah.

Thank her.
HADDIE: Uh-huh. I did.

Okay.
Okay.

Be nice. Be cordial.
Okay, I got it.

Say "please" and "thank you."
Thanks, Jules. I got it, Mom, bye.

We got to go.
I know.

Bye.

AMBER: This one...

Oh, come on.
I know this one.

Cogitate.
Cogitating.

It means to...
Not know the answer.

No, come on, Amber.

I know.

SATs are in five days. You've
got to know all these cold.

Ugh, noisy and difficult
to control.

Oh! That's weird
you forgot that one.

(SARCASTICALLY) Oh,
that's so funny. (LAUGHING)

I really am studying
really hard.

I'm even using my words
in everyday speech.

You can call my mom and ask for
corroboration, if you please.

Well, I'm not
going to do that.

But, I will ask you if you
have your iPod with you.

No. They're not allowed on
school grounds, so why would I?

I... I know you're
packing. I saw you.

Unbelievable.

Just because
I miss one word,

I'm robbed of the only thing that
provides distraction from this ordeal.

No, I'm not
punishing you.

In fact, I've been really impressed
by how hard you've been working.

So, I got you
a little present.

What is it?

(CLEARING THROAT)

You made me
a playlist?

CYR: Uh-huh.

So, for the next five days you are going
to eat, sleep, and breathe the SATs.

Wow.
And this should help.

Thanks.
Okay.

And, uh, also take these.
It's very important.

Cool. Thank you. Great.
All right.

Work on them.
I will.

Don't just let them collect dust. Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay, bye.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

CROSBY: Hey. (CHUCKLES)
VALERIE: Hi. Welcome.

Oh, wow, what a dump. So
sorry about this. (CHUCKLES)

Yes, well, the one perk of catching
your husband with an H-O-O-K-E-R.

Uh-huh.

MILO: We have a pool.
Yeah, Crosby has a ocean.

Oh, Jabbar, it's not
polite to brag.

It's more of a marina
than it is an ocean.

Oh, okay.

Ooh.
JABBAR: Whoa.

Milo, why don't you go show
Jabbar the tennis court?

Oh, the tennis courts.
That's...

You know, I don't know how
competitive he's gonna be.

We don't really have him on
the country club circuit yet.

Oh, please, (LAUGHS) Milo
can barely hold a racket.

My ex has this idea that he's going
to grow up to be a tennis star.

So, what about you and, uh,
Jabbar's mom? Are you guys cool?

Yeah, the... Um, we are. It's
a funny story, actually. Oh?

JABBAR: Crosby!
Yeah?

We're playing tag.
And you're it!

Oh, I'm it? Well, you'd
better keep moving then!

(JABBAR GRUNTING)
Tag in the pool.

(CROSBY ROARING)

JABBAR: (PANTING)
No. No. No. No. No.

Ah! Jump in the pool!
Whoo-hoo!

HADDIE: Wow,
this looks good.

JULIA: (LAUGHING)
Thank you very much.

So, when did you first realize
that you wanted to be a lawyer?

All right, I was
in a civil rights class

when I was at Stanford.
"Go Cardinal," by the way.

Put that in your report. It'll
drive your "Cal" dad nuts.

Oh, my God, I will. I'm
secretly a Stanford girl.

So, civil rights class was all
about the fundamental rights

that we have as citizens
and the way that we're all

protected equally
under the law.

And, maybe it sounds corny,
but it meant a lot to me.

Aunt Julia, I had no idea
that you did that kind of law.

Well, uh...

(CLEARING THROAT) No, I... I
don't actually. Right now anyway.

Oh, um, what kind
of law do you do?

How do I explain it?

You've heard the term mergers
and acquisitions? Mmm-hmm.

My job deals with
the legal implications,

corporate strategy,
corporate finance,

it's the buying, selling,
and combining of companies.

At the end of the day we can
provide the acquired company

with a buyout package.

Is it a...
Is it a lot of money?

Not if I do
my job right.

Oh.

Wait. Maybe just don't,
don't include that part.

That's... It's more complicated
than I just explained.

Than screwing some poor
slob out of his retirement?

What?

Pretty Woman.
Oh.

I was quoting Julia Roberts. Don't worry,
I know that's not what it's really like.

(JABBAR BLOWING RASPBERRY)
MILO: I want chocolate.

CROSBY: Do you want chocolate
or vanilla? JABBAR: Vanilla.

Vanilla. Okay.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Oh, it's my brother.
Hey, what's up?

Well, uh,
a couple of things.

Number one, I have to cancel our
weekly basketball game tonight.

I am sorry about that.

And number two, I need a
recommendation for a hip restaurant.

One...
Thank you.

That's like the eighth time in a row
you've canceled the game. So technically,

I don't think we can refer
to it as weekly anymore.

Yeah, all right, jackass.
Thank you.

Listen, what kind of hip are we
talking about? Anniversary hip?

Or guys out
on the town hip?

Nah, it's just these two retail
clients are in from out-of-town

and somebody has to
show them a good time.

I drew the short straw.

Are you sure you're the
right guy for the job?

Yeah, very funny.
Write this down.

Take them to Casa Villa
on San Pablo.

You're gonna love it.

Well...
All right.

They'll love it.
You'll tolerate it. Okay?

Thanks.

ADAM: Yeah. No, no.
MAN: Make it two.

No, no, we'll get a table.
We're good. We're good.

Hi. Hi, I'm
Adam Braverman.

You must be Crosby's brother. Yes.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)
I have a table for you guys.

Okay.
Right this way, gentlemen.

Uh, guys, it's my wife.

I'II... I'll be
right with you.

We'll be all right.
All right.

Hey, honey,
what's up?

Hey, honey, can you
get out of your dinner?

Uh, why, why... What?
Did something happen?

No, no, no.

There's a three hour bug
movie playing at the IMAX.

And Haddie took Max. So,
you know what that means.

Look, you just cue up
the Van Morrison.

I'll be home
as soon as I can.

Oh, hey, Adam.

Kitten's on the grill.

Soon as I can.
All right, bye.

(CLUB MUSIC PLAYING)

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Hi, hi, check? Check. You
guys... You guys are good, right?

You all set? No, no, actually,
can we get one more round?

One more round?
Okay, one more round.

WOMAN: Whoo! Yeah. All right.
Better make mine a virgin.

You got it.
Here you go. Thank you.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Sorry, guys, just,
uh, my wife.

Hey.
KRISTINA: Ugh.

The, uh, Margarita twins
are holding me hostage here.

But, uh, I'm doing the best
I can. What are you wearing?

Um, actually, I'm sorry, but
it was a false alarm, okay.

Max had a meltdown during one of
the trailers so they came home early.

I was calling to see if you could pick
up some cornflakes on the way home.

Honey, we already
have cornflakes.

I got cornflakes.
You got cornflakes.

Honey, I know that,

but I accidentally bought the
ones with strawberries, okay.

Max said that
they look like toes.

Okay, uh, I'll pick up some cornflakes
without toes in it. Bye, honey.

(ALL CHATTERING)

And a virgin strawberry
daiquiri for you, sir.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

Thank you.

GABY: Another round.
Whoo! Another round.

(WHOOPING)

(ADAM GRUNTING)

Oh! Honey, how many
margaritas did you have?

Just two.
Just two?

Aspirin's in the cabinet. And you
might want to put some pants on...

MAX: I'm done. 'Cause Gaby's
going to be here any minute.

Wait. Clean up
your stuff.

Nope.
Max.

I think Gaby might be
calling in sick today.

Really? Why is that?

Well, I saw her at
the bar last night.

You saw Gaby at the
bar last night? Mmm-hmm.

What? She's not even old enough to
drink. How could you see her at the bar?

Oh, yeah, she is.

And if two margaritas
can do this to me,

I can only imagine what 10 tequila
shots did to her last night.

What? Sticker-System-Gaby was
shooting tequila last night?

Oh, yeah. It was like
a Girls Gone Wild video.

You know, I don't understand... Wow.

...how she can spend all day
dealing with kids like Max,

and then just
leave it all behind.

Well, what do you think, that
she leaves here and goes home

and thinks about Max all night?
I mean, she has a life, you know.

Hmm. That's what I do.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

Hmm. Oh, that's her. Put your pants on.

Yep. Come on,
let's check it out.

KRISTINA: Honey! No. I
want to see how she looks.

You're in your underwear. I don't want her
around Max in case she's looking like...

Like you?

I did reading, math, and writing.
Can I have my stickers now?

Do I get a
"good morning" first?

Good morning. Do I get
an extra sticker for that?

Hi, guys.
Hi.

MAX: I get
an extra sticker.

Have you been outside
yet? It's gorgeous.

Yeah, sure is.

See you later.
Bye.

What the hell?
She looks like a mess.

She looks wrecked, honey.
Very funny.

You're not
wearing pants.

ADAM: That's correct.
KRISTINA: Hey, Had.

Hey, how was your
career day with Julia?

Oh, my God.
It was really amazing.

Oh. Whoo.

It's so nice to
have this, like,

female professional that
I can look up to, you know?

Mmm-hmm.
That's great, honey.

Oh, my God, there's this guy. His name's
like Ross or something. I don't know.

As far as I can tell,

his entire job is just to get Aunt
Julia a latte whenever she wants.

Wow, a latte guy. (GASPS)
That would be so cool.

Yeah, you should have seen the
way everybody just respected her.

It's like her secretary
is a dude, first of all.

Wow. And everybody
calls her Ms. Braverman.

It's like she's her own
powerful woman, you know.

Oh, my God, she took me out to lunch
at this, like, really expensive place.

(SIGHING) It was the
best meal I have ever had.

JOEL: This is the world's
largest knot.

JULIA: Here, sweetie,
give me your arm.

You know, Haddie really got me
thinking about why I got into law.

Yeah?

Do you remember what I used
to say in school all the time?

Yeah, that you want
to make partner by 30.

No, I said that once.

No, I said that once I
paid off my student loans,

I would go to work
for Legal Aid.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah,
you said that once.

And if I recall, it was
after a, uh, Al Gore rally.

Alright, sweet pea, you are officially
dressed. Go get your backpack.

Um, what is
this about?

Well, I got into law
to use it to help people.

And all I'm doing is helping big
companies crush little companies.

You love crushing
little companies.

I know... I know. But what
kind of person loves that?

(LAUGHS)

(JULIA SIGHS)

Frank, I'm sorry. I'm
here. Traffic was terrible.

FRANK: Hey, um... (CLEARING THROAT) Hey.

This, uh, came for you.

Mmm-hmm.

Aw!
(CHUCKLES)

No one's ever sent me
flowers at work before.

Probably comes with
not having an office.

(SIGHING)

Pulchritudinous?

It means beautiful.

So, wait a minute,
how young is young?

Like, you were saying he was
young, but how young is he?

Yeah. You know,
like 29.

Oh, well,
that's not too bad.

No, he's 26. I don't know why I'm lying.

JULIA: Twenty-six?
KRISTINA: That's not bad.

That's 12 years.

It's 11 years. It's 11
years and eight months.

No, this is a good thing.
Nothing. It's a great thing.

And he's Amber's... He's
Amber's English teacher?

Yeah, I know.

So what? You should
just go for it.

I'd go for it.
Yeah.

Yeah? But I think it's great, you know.

I love it.
You're both adults.

And he's sort of...
Well, an adult.

(LAUGHING)
He's an adult.

Sorry, hold on.
Wait, is he hot?

Yes.
Okay.

I mean, that's not the point.
But, yes. I'm just checking.

He's scruffy like... He looks
like Mark Ruffalo, kind of.

Mmm.
I love Mark Ruffalo.

Yeah.

He is so cute. I say
you hit that. I love him.

JULIA: Uh, did you?

I did.

Okay, now that we've established
that you're gonna "hit that."

I am. Oh, wow.
JULIA: Uh-huh. You are.

And I have
a pertinent question.

You're making
a first impression.

You don't want to scare him
away with, like, a Chia Pet.

Okay, Mark...
ADAM: Kristina!

...might be expecting something
a little more, less. What?

ADAM: Why is it every time
we have one of these...

SARAH: What do you mean?
How much less?

ADAM: Family get-togethers, it
turns into a "to do list" for me?

Is that what you have?

'Cause Crosby thinks
changing the oil is optional.

Square hair?
Do you put gel?

JULIA: A landing strip.
SARAH: A landing strip...

Do you put gel on it?
...for somebody's airplane.

(LAUGHING)

What is going on?
Nothing.

What's going on? What
are you talking about?

Sarah's having sex with
Amber's English teacher.

Not yet. Not yet. Don't tell.
Well, you're going to.

What's up with that?

I just have a date.
I'm... I have a date.

This is strategy session.
ADAM: Uh-huh.

So, we're preparing.

SARAH: Adam, please.
I'm just having a date.

All right. I have a date,
thank God, with a nice guy.

I haven't touched his pickle
yet, which reminds me...

Is it furry? ADAM: I'm
gonna wash my hands.

Listen, I was supposed to pick
up the girls tomorrow night.

But if I see him, I can't.
Can anybody help me?

I can't do it. I have to
be here with Max and Gaby.

I'm sorry. He can. Adam can. What?

I just can't.
Oh, Adam can do it.

KRISTINA: I mean,
I just need a break.

SARAH: Can Adam do it?

Yes. See you later.
Thank you, Adam.

JULIA: Adam can do it.

Seriously, I want to know what
you've got going on down there.

(WHISPERING) Hey.
Hey.

Looks like you guys
had a big day.

Oh, it was colossal.

Good.

Hey, if you're
cool with it,

I would love to have another
colossal day with him tomorrow.

Okay.
Yeah?

Yeah. Cool.
Good.

Thank you. Uh...

Yeah.

(JASMINE CLEARS THROAT)
Okay.

I've got him.

CROSBY: Ow.
(TOY PLANE WHIRRING)

(JASMINE SHUSHING)

(JABBAR GROANING)

(WHIRRING STOPS)

(BOTH LAUGHING SOFTLY)

(WHISPERS) Sorry.

Where's my plane?

Here. Shh, buddy. It's
right here. It's right here.

Okay. Are you good?
Yeah.

Oh, his backpack.
His backpack.

Um, I should
put it on you.

(GROANS SOFTLY)

Okay, sorry.

Yeah, put that. Okay.

Bye. Good night.
Bye. Drive... Drive safe.

(CHUCKLES)

HADDIE: Hey, Mom.
(SIGHING) God.

Hey. (CLEARING THROAT)

(LAUGHS)

That's great. Well.

(CLEARING THROAT)

What?

What? Oh, these are
just old work files.

I saw how excited you got
with Aunt Julia for career day.

So, I got sort of
nostalgic and...

Right, weren't you like
a councilman's assistant?

No, a Legislative Deputy.
I'll show you.

My name, "Kristina Braverman,
Legislative Deputy to Council Member."

So, these are the minutes
that I proposed to council.

I was trying to reduce the number
of roadside billboards at that time.

Oh, okay. So, you, like, you stopped
there from being too many billboards.

Exactly. Because they would
block the views of... Right.

So, I had to stop it.

Cool.

It passed.
This ordinance passed.

Good for you.

Good for us.

(CAR HONKING)

That's me.
That's... That's...

Later.
Okay.

Hey, honey,
what about your lunch?

Hey, hon.
Hi.

How are you?
I'm good.

What are you doing?
I want eggs today.

Okay.

We can do eggs.

(ALL CHATTERING)

(MIMICKING ENGINE WHIRRING)

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

Question.
Yes?

What's with Hasselhoff?

(LAUGHING)
Well, safety first.

Oh.

Besides, he can help watch the
kids while you help me fix a snack.

Uh, you know what? Jabbar's
not a great swimmer.

I think I'm gonna stay
in here with him.

I'll get in the pool with
the boys. Jabbar will be fine.

Okay.

Follow me.

Yeah, they look happy.

They're playing.
Yeah.

That's what kids do.

Everyone's happy.
Right.

Oh, my God. I can't.
(LAUGHING) I can't.

I can't.

Yes, you can.
No, I mean, I... I can.

But, I can't believe
I'm about to say this...

Just hold on, hold on.
I just...

Speaking as a parent,
I don't know if I'm...

I don't know if I'm
comfortable with this scenario.

What scenario?

(CHUCKLES)

The scenario
where our...

Our kids are down at the
pool, and we're up here.

I can't. You know what?
I can't. I can't do this.

You're serious?

Uh, I'm going to
need a minute.

Hey, where's Haddie?

Um, she's at Steve's.

Can I still get a ride or should I try
to hitch one from a creepy stranger?

How was school?
How was school?

It was fine.
Yeah?

Yeah.

Hey, you know, if you
want to listen to music,

this car has an excellent sound system.

Oh, no, no, no.

No, I insist. It's got an iPod
docking station and everything.

I'm okay, Uncle Adam.
Let's check it.

(EXCLAIMS)

(CYR OVER SPEAKER) Loquacious.
Very talkative. Garrulous.

As in, "Principal Greyson
is extremely loquacious. "

Uh... What are you,
studying?

Yeah, I'm studying. I
know, it's hard to believe.

That's not what I meant.

It's fine. Okay, I have
the SATs on Saturday.

Cool.
Yeah.

And so my English teacher made
me a mix tape to help me study.

Wow. That's pretty
dedicated. Is he a good guy?

Yeah. He's a really
good guy.

He's actually cool.
He really...

He cares if I do
well or not. So.

Uh-huh.

What?
Nothing. Nothing.

That's great. That's great.
I'm really happy about that.

Can we listen
to something else?

Yeah, sure, actually I've got
something right here. Listen to this.

Oh.
You like Van Halen?

(SIGHING)
So.

It's so nice.

Thanks.

(CLEARING THROAT)
Um, okay, so...

Here it is.

"The Sound and the Fury."

One of my favorites.

Yes, I know.

I have seen
this before.

(LAUGHS) Yes,
I know you have.

Do you want
something to drink?

Okay.
Okay.

So, then what is this, like the
English teacher's version of,

"Hey, baby, come up to my apartment.
I'll show you my etchings."

Huh?

No, that's, um,
that's my...

That's my copy
from high school.

Oh.

And, uh, if you
turn to page 47,

you'll see what paragraph I
highlighted, when I was 17 years old.

That's what I wanted
to show you.

Oh. Hmm.

(GASPS)

"Caddy got the box and set
it on the floor and opened it.

"It was full of stars.

"When I was still,
they were still.

"When I moved,
they glinted and sparkled.

"I hushed."

(EXHALES)

That's what I wrote
my paper about.

I know.

That Amber plagiarized.

(LAUGHS) I know.

So, so, tell me that
that isn't weird.

It's weird.
Yeah.

Two people from two
different high schools,

hundreds of miles...
Yes, decades apart.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

That... That we pinpointed the
exact same paragraph in that book,

that's a little weird.

That is weird.

That's so weird.

But, I love that part. It's... I know.

The box of stars, it's such
a good metaphor for Caddy.

Yeah, bright and burning.

But she's closed off in a
dark, claustrophobic place.

But, she's lighting up
everybody around her.

Seduced me with
The Sound and The Fury.

(LAUGHING)
Works every time.

Here you go, sir.
Thank you.

Hey.

Hi. Can I have a chocolate
milkshake, please? Thank you.

Hi.
Hey.

Why so early?

I've been trying to squeeze in
this walk with Kristina all week.

And just that
simple act requires

that I get to work early,
so I can get home early

before Gaby is done
working with Max.

Wow.
I know.

Here's what I want
to talk about.

I've been thinking about this whole
thing with you and Amber's teacher.

His name is Mark.

Well, I don't think
it's a good idea.

Well...
Thank you.

Thank you for
the unwanted advice.

Sarah... Is that why we got up so early?

Sarah... Sarah... For you to
tell me that I shouldn't be happy.

Sarah, listen. When I gave
Amber a ride home last night,

it was pretty clear to me, she
has a major crush on the guy.

No, she doesn't.

Yes, she does.

You remember when you
were in high school,

and you had that crush
on Mr. Levitsky?

How would you have felt if
Mom slept with Mr. Levitsky?

Oh, gross.
Yeah, exactly.

No, Adam, it's different.
Mom was married.

And Mom is Mom.
No, it's not different.

Sarah.

Look, I just don't want to
see you fall into another...

Another failure.

You know what... 'Cause
nothing I do ever works out?

No, no, no. You know what,
never mind. Never mind.

Nothing.
Forget about it.

I just...
I see Amber happier.

I see her engaged. And I don't want
to see her backslide. That's all.

I see those things. You're
not the only good parent.

Okay, wow. Well, all I'm
asking you to do is just...

Just think about it
before you do anything.

Okay. Okay. I got to
go. Enjoy your milkshake.

(SNIFFLES)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Yeah?
SARAH: Hello?

Hey, what's up?

What? Why are you
being weird?

I'm not being weird.

I just came
into your... To...

Did somebody die?
Nobody died.

Um...

(SIGHS) I

met somebody.

That's great.

But wait, there's more.
Uh, it's somebody you know.

Who is it?

It's, um,

your teacher...
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

Mr. Cyr.

(CHUCKLES)

Mr. Cyr?

Yeah. Well, I guessed
it wasn't Mrs. Hasbrook.

No, not with those
orthopedic shoes.

(LAUGHS)

I mean,
you like him, right?

Yeah.

I know...
I just wasn't sure...

It's great.
I said it was great.

Just a couple times. You
know, I didn't... It wasn't...

I just wanted to make
sure there was something.

Do you want to
talk about it?

No, I just
want to study.

(EXHALES)

(AMBER SOBBING)

Hey, I'm home.

KRISTINA: Hi.
Kristina.

Yes, Adam.

Get your shoes.
Why?

Because we're going to
go for a walk. Come on.

Come on, I'm home early from
work. The trash bins are in.

And Max is with Gaby for another
half hour. Come on, let's go.

Oh, no, honey, he's not. She
leaves early on Thursdays.

What are you talking about?
You forgot. I told you.

What? No, no, no. I planned
this. See you guys later. Bye.

Bye, Gaby.

Hey, Gaby.
Oh, hey, Gaby.

What do you think about, uh,
making a little overtime today?

Oh, God, um... Oh, I can't.
I have another family at 7:00.

Well, look, that's not
for another two hours.

I'm just looking for one.
It's perfect.

Right, it's just that it's really
important that I take a break

and have some time to
myself. I hope you understand.

We understand completely.
Thank you so much for today.

And, we'll see you tomorrow.
Thanks, Gaby. I'll see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow. Oh, I'll
call you later about...

Oh, yes.
Thank you.

Bye.
Bye.

Wow.
She's so great.

That's great. Yeah.
She's amazing.

That's great that she
gets some time to herself.

Maybe she can make another
date with Jose Cuervo.

Oh, God, Adam. Come on.
That's good. That's good...

...that you can be so
supportive of her. That's good.

What are you
talking about?

Nothing. Just forget it.
I'm going to go check on Max.

Okay, he's fine.

And he's not the one that
I'm worried about right now.

What's your problem?
What's that supposed to mean?

Honey, you're all
wound up, okay. Oh, God.

It means that you need to
take some time for yourself.

(ADAM MUTTERING)
Gaby's right.

If you don't take time for
yourself, you're going to snap.

You're already snapping. Don't
do that. We have a system set up.

If Max cleans up his toys,
he gets a sticker.

Okay. I'll just... I'll
just live like this.

And when exactly am I supposed to
schedule this "me time" for myself?

Adam, I don't know.

You know, maybe we can
put it on the dry erase board.

The dry erase board doesn't
accurately reflect the time suck

that is my family
and my job.

Hey, they are adults
and they will manage.

Well, I don't know
how it works,

but it seems like
everybody else has a life.

You know, Crosby's got a life. Sarah
moves back home to have a new life.

Even Gaby's got a life. You have a life.

I don't have a life. What do
you mean, you don't have a life?

I don't have a life,
Kristina. I have a schedule.

You have a life. How do you
think that makes me feel?

You have a schedule?

Kristina, this isn't about
you, okay? Then what is...

I feel like
everybody's treating me

like a damn household
appliance all the time!

Oh, me, too?

Maybe it's about how I'd like
to go for a walk with my wife.

But I can't because Crosby needs to
consult with me about Jabbar or Katie.

Or Sarah, you know, her
kids need a father-figure.

How am I supposed
to say "no" to that?

I don't know.

And then my own kids,

trying to get Haddie involved
with family time. Or Max...

Okay, Adam... God, I wish
I knew what to do for Max...

Stop. Adam. In between the special
schools and the behavioral aides.

Maybe what you need
to do is take a break.

I can't take a break!
Yes, you can take a break.

Take a break.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Hi.
SARAH: Hi.

Please come in.

Hey.
Hey.

You know, in two years, Amber's
going to be, uh, graduated.

And you're going
to be, um, 30.

You know, almost 30.

(BOTH LAUGH)

And, uh...

I think that maybe that's the
time that we should go out next.

Wait. Wait.
What, what...

I'm asking you
to go out with me.

In... In two years?

Are you...

Did you just
break up with me?

This is just
the best I can do.

Well, Sarah, Sarah, I don't
understand. This... This is working.

No, this is not the part of my
life that is supposed to be working.

I moved here to take care of my family.

And I'm doing
a terrible job.

I'm sorry, but for now, I just...
I can't think of anything else to do.

Wait, wait...

(SNIFFLES)

I don't want to wait two
years for this, do you?

Then don't. Okay?

No, that's not
what I mean.

Sarah, I... I really like
you. I really like you.

No, I really like you.
I really like you.

Okay, so...

Wait, wait, Sarah, Sarah.

Sarah!

(WHIRRING)

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Hi. Good morning.

Do you want some coffee?
I made some coffee.

It's a big day. Come on,
take some coffee for the road.

And, honey, I know you
don't normally eat breakfast,

but just today
you might consider this.

It's got all kinds of magic
energy and stuff in it.

Just put that in
your bag, you know.

I made these, uh... Well, I
didn't make them, but I, um...

You know, you have to
have a number two pencil,

'cause if you use another...
You know that probably.

I'm okay. If you don't...
If you don't, you got a...

Amber. Amber.

Amber!

(SIGHS)

Good luck.

(DOOR OPENING)

(DOOR SLAMS)

Hey, Crosby.
Hey, buddy.

Sweetie, I want you to wait here for
me, okay. I need to talk to Crosby.

But, can I go?

No, just stay here.
He's right there.

Stay here. Stay here.

Everything all right?

When you, uh, ask to
spend time with Jabbar,

I kind of expect you
to spend time with Jabbar.

I did.

You're busted. He told
me about your play date.

Well, I don't know
what he told you...

Our son is not chick-bait,
Crosby. Come on.

Nothing happened.
Really?

No, I mean, it was about
to happen, but I stopped it.

You stopped it. Yeah, I
had a crisis of conscience.

And, I mean, it was kind of
a big life moment actually.

I'm really glad that you had
a valuable learning experience

while leaving our five-year-old
son alone in the pool.

What's wrong with you?

Whoa, whoa, hey, Jasmine, I want
to be the guy you thought I was.

Be it.
Well, I'm... I'm trying.

Mommy, am I going to
stay with Crosby today?

Not today, sweetie. Not today. Why?

Bye, buddy.

I'll see you soon.

HADDIE: If you want something,
ask me. That's what people do.

They use their words.

They don't use telepathy
or something.

It's just this look that
she does all the time.

And I'm sure
you've seen it.

Haddie. I want you
to look around here.

See this play structure and all
this landscaping, these benches here?

Yeah.

Well, this company
that built this building

wanted to use every inch of
this land to put up offices.

Your mother stepped in
and fought them.

She got them to put up $200,000
to build this little park.

Without her,
this wouldn't be here.

Wow. That's so
Erin Brockovich of her.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Well, now you know what
your mother used to do.

(EXHALES)

Hey.

Thank you.

For what?

Coming out here
with your dad today.

I know there are other things you'd
rather be doing with your Saturday.

No, there aren't.

No?
No.

Yeah, that's what I thought.
That's what I thought.

Yep. (CHUCKLES)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Steve?

He was just supposed to call
me if basketball got out early.

We were going to hang
out. But it's fine.

I'm going to tell him that
I can't, that I'm busy.

No. Go.

No, Dad. It's fine.
Have a good time. Be free.

I don't mind. Please, Haddie, go. Be 15.

Just be a good girl.

Are you sure?
I'm sure.

Okay, thanks, Dad.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hello? Hi. Oh, my...
No, no way!

Yeah. No, no, no, no...
I'm... Yeah, I'm free.

I'm coming over
right now. Okay, bye.

I can't believe you drove
all the way from Fresno.

I'm here now, okay?
Okay.

How was your test?

Um, I didn't go.

You didn't take your
test? No. What do you care?

Let's go.
Where are we going?

Anywhere.
Let's just drive, okay?

"Decaf sugar-free
vanilla latte."

Oh, you guys.

Hey, Steve.
Hey.

Haddie, this is really
sweet of you. Thanks, honey.

We stopped by Peet's and I didn't
know if you'd want your regular.

It's not really
a big deal.

It is a big deal.
Thank you.

Did you know the sugar-free syrups are
worse for you than the regular ones?

Well, you know, there's
a bunch of science on it.

I can send you the link
or, you know, whatever.

Wait! Where are you going?

We're just going to
hang out in my room.

No, Haddie. Haddie.
What? Yeah.

Keep the door open, please.
Of course.

Where's your dad?

Um, oh, I don't know. We split
up, like, three hours ago.

What?

(CELL PHONE RINGING)
