Original subtitles

JULlA: But I think he likes you,

so maybe it`s not a bad thing at all.

The latte girl at work is pregnant,

and I really want to ask her if I can buy her baby.

AMBER: I think I might have found a place.

Amber`s moving out.

We should look into mainstreaming Max next year.

All right.

We should go into business together, you and me.

Believe me, when you see this place

you`re gonna know what I`m talking about.

I want to do this.

And I don`t want to do it without you.

JULlA: The parents of the kid that you hit

intend to press charges.

It`s not my first offense.

(SLOW SONG PLAYlNG)

KRlSTlNA: lt`s going to be so great.

Now, Max, if you feel like you want to make a comment in class

you`ve got to remember to raise your hand

and wait for the teacher to call on you. And she will.

Yeah, absolutely. And if you want to introduce yourself

and say, ``Hi. I`m Max Braverman.`` You know, to meet the kids.

I`m sure there are so many nice kids here.

Yeah, and if you smile a little bit

that will help them know that you want to be their friend.

Yeah, look them in the eye. Look them right in the eye.

Okay, got it. Look them in the eye.

Smile will help. I`m Max Braverman.

Don`t correct people. Yep.

Yeah, and try not to correct the teacher.

This is going to be so much better than Footpath.

Why is that? Yeah.

Oh, because at Footpath we could only have ice cream once a week.

Here we have it every day.

A-ha! That`s right.

Well, hey! Look who it is! The Bravermans!

KlDS: Hi! ADAM: Hi, Bravermans!

KRlSTlNA: lt`s the first day of school! Are you so excited?

Has the baby been kicking? A little bit.

Have fun, Syd. Bye.

Have a great morning. Hi, Jabbar. Bye.

Bye. Bye, guys!

Bye, Max!

Bye, Dad! Bye, Dad!

Wow.

Pretty cool, huh?

Okay. Let`s see.

Um... The French Roast.

Again? Yes.

What, do you have a night job or something?

No, I just like coffee.

Lots of coffee, all kinds of coffee.

Hey, can I ask you a legal question?

Sure.

Um, it`s just that...

You know what? Forget about it.

I know that you`re busy. No, no.

And l`m just, like... It`s fine.

I can`t, l`m sorry... Zoe. I said yes.

What`s up?

All right, so...

My landlord told me that I have to move out of my apartment.

But the thing is I think he wants to just move

his girlfriend`s buddy into the building.

Not cool.

Right? Yeah.

I knew that wasn`t cool. It`s not cool.

Cool. Super uncool.

Cool.

Cool. Well, um, yeah, I can just draft

a cease-and-desist letter for you.

I can definitely help you with that.

For real?

Yeah.

No, it`s... You know what? I don`t have the...

I don`t have the money to pay for that, so don`t worry about it.

Don`t worry about it.

I don`t have the money for that. Not a problem.

I can make payments. It`s totally fine.

I`ll pay you. Zoe. Don`t worry about it.

I`ll pay you.

Truly, don`t worry about it.

It`s my pleasure.

All right. Cool.

If you stick to your initial investment

and if the first three months are secured by the artists

you say are going to follow you to this space,

you, my friend, could be turning a profit by month four.

But you`ve got to stick to that.

This place has to live up to what you`re promising it to be.

And honestly, you know, looking around, it`s pretty unique.

I mean, I think the idea of a boutique, upscale recording studio

is not the worst idea you`ve ever had.

That`s awesome. Thank you.

I mean, I don`t even understand all this, but, this is amazing.

So, are we going to do this?

You are. I can`t do this with you.

Well... Wait, I don`t understand.

You`re saying it`s viable?

I have a real offer on the table, right now, okay?

Selling root beer? Yeah.

And other soda and beer.

Come on, Adam.

Look, it`s a real offer, Crosby. I can`t pass it up.

I`ve got a house, l`ve got kids.

I can`t risk this. Yeah. I have all that too.

Listen, I think this is a really interesting idea.

I hope you do it and I hope it works out for you.

But I can`t do it with you.

I can`t.

I won`t ask anyone to stand on their desk.

(ALL LAUGHlNG)

And then we`re going into the Romantics.

Rest assured, I will not make it too romantic.

They don`t need any help in that department.

I expect a lot from your kids,

and I want them to work hard,

but I also want them to have fun.

I get them for nine months

and I want them to look back on it with fondness,

because, as my closest personal friend, Emily Dickinson said,

``That it will never come again

``is what makes life so sweet.``

And...

This is totally embarrassing. No!

But it`s just like, if we don`t do it now, I feel like it could be...

It`s a good idea.

...more awkward later. You`re right.

If you could imagine. I mean, who would know, you know?

Who would have known that it would be Emily Dickinson

who would really make me feel hot?

I`m surprised it did too, `cause she died a virgin.

I don`t know why I said that. Please don`t...

(CHUCKLlNG)

Hi.

Hi.

I don`t think we should do that again.

Didn`t...

It just didn`t feel good.

Yeah. I know. You know?

And I just don`t want to.

You shouldn`t feel bad.

No, l`m not one of those people.

It just doesn`t have that... You know, connection.

I`m the worst, I know.

I know. No, no. No. It`s me.

Yeah, there was a little bit of you, yeah. (CHUCKLlNG)

Ten! Hey!

Oh! (ZEEK WHlSTLlNG)

ZEEK: Come on, Sarah. A-ha!

(WHlSPERS) lt`s my dad! Really?

ZEEK: Dad, coming up! Dad will be knocking. It`s my dad! Hide! Hide!

What do I do? What do I do? Hide, under the table.

I`m coming! Wait!

What`s going on in there? Nothing! Hold on.

ZEEK: Okay, holding.

Oh. There`s something you don`t see every day.

I`m not coming in.

No way am I coming in.

Hi. Hi.

Treats, you know, for your little sleepover.

Celebration. Oh, my God!

Yeah. Get out!

I brought a cup for your little friend there.

I see that. Your bed buddy.

ZEEK: Hey, I didn`t get any cream!

You like cream? Hey!

MARK: No, sir! No, thank you, sir!

You like cream? He`s very white.

What? He doesn`t have a tan.

Dad, get out of here. Kind of skinny.

Oh, my God. This is me leaving.

Are you under there? Are you okay?

Yeah.

You totally didn`t have to hide.

It`s just... It`s an old reflex. You know?

That was a proud moment for me.

I feel like that`s a rite of passage.

You were fast, man. You were like...

I was... I didn`t know. It was scary.

You`ve run before.

(CHUCKLES) I have run before.

KRlSTlNA: Hi, honey. Morning.

You`re up early. Yep.

Mmm-hmm.

What are you doing?

I am thinking about what if I don`t take this job.

I thought you said that you were going to...

I just keep turning it over in my head.

Beverage distribution.

I`d buy a beverage from you.

It`s just not a very inspired career choice.

I know. It`s just until you find something a little more inspiring.

That`s all.

That`s true. That`s a good point.

I have to let them know by Wednesday.

Okay.

Whatever you want to do.

All right.

Then I should do it. I should take it.

So, Alex, this guy`s name is Craig David.

He`s a very competent young attorney

who does pro-bono work for his firm.

So I talked to him about your case and he said to call him.

Wait, so you can`t help?

I thought you would be able to do this.

I don`t... I don`t practice criminal law.

But, um...

You know, he`s great and I will be there.

It`s just that the parents are pressing charges for assault and battery,

and that`s just not my area of expertise.

Yeah, I get it. You know?

Mmm-hmm.

It`s going to be okay.

I`m sure.

Thank you so much for this.

Haddie, I should probably get you to school. It`s getting late.

Yeah.

ALEX: I appreciate it. Of course.

Hey, Haddie?

Have a good first day of senior year.

Yeah, thank you. Yeah.

Thanks.

Um...

Is this really serious?

Yeah, it`s kind of serious.

Okay, could he go to jail?

Possibly.

Okay.

Have you talked to your parents about this?

As soon as you can.

Right. Yeah, I know.

Okay, thank you.

Again, thank you. Of course. Of course.

Bye.

So, the big social studies project we`re going to be doing

is we`re going to be studying the California Missions.

You`ll have a long-term project due in about four weeks.

You`re not supposed to write in the books.

Um, Max?

I`m not. Yes, you are.

Can you please raise your hand if you want to say something?

She`s writing in her book and she`s not supposed to do that.

No. I`m not. I`m not writing in my book.

Yes, you are.

And you`re not supposed to, `cause it`s in the rules.

Max, listen, we`ll deal with this later.

It`s also in the rules that you don`t talk out in class.

Right, Max?

Right, Max? Mmm-hmm.

Okay. So, let`s talk about the mission.

Freak.

Does anybody know how many missions there were?

MAX: Twenty one. And there still are 21.

It`s not, uh, past tense.

That`s the correct answer,

but can you raise your hand, please,

before you give the answer?

What is the name of the man who started the missions?

Yes? Father Serra.

Father Juniipero Serra. Very good.

She was wrong. There could be plenty of people

whose last names were Serra and were also priests.

But there probably weren`t too many of those.

It was a very common last name.

Who knows the name of the highway that they were on?

El Camino Real. That`s the correct answer, Max.

But, again, you raised your hand... Yeah.

But I need to call on you before you answer.

So you should have specified that.

You just said that I needed to raise my hand.

I, I did specify.

No, you said just raise your hand.

Max.

I don`t get why we have to raise our hands,

because if you were in a real conversation... Listen, we`re going to...

...then you wouldn`t raise your hand,

every time you wanted to contribute something to the conversation.

Max Braverman. We will talk about this later.

I was drinking at the party,

and Alex came to pick me up.

There was a misunderstanding.

The guy Zach, whose house it is,

thought that Alex was bothering me

and he was being really rude.

He pushed Alex, so...

Um...

It was really messy and Alex punched him.

They got into a fight. It wasn`t huge.

It was over quickly. It was my fault.

No, listen, I take full responsibility, okay?

It was my fault.

I shouldn`t have reacted. I shouldn`t have punched the guy.

Okay, I actually don`t even know what to say to you both right now.

I have to tell you, also,

that the family is going to press charges of assault and battery.

Do you have a lawyer?

Yeah.

But, I don`t want you to worry about that, okay?

I`m handling it.

We thought that you guys needed to know.

Buddy?

Mom, l`m awake. Come on, it`s time to get up for school.

We got to go.

Max?

Are you excited about going back to school today?

How do you feel?

Do you like your teacher? Is she nice?

I thought you already asked me this stuff last night.

You`re right. I know I did.

Just... Just wondering...

Do you like it as much as Footpath?

I don`t know. It`s okay.

How about friends? Have you made any new friends?

I`m sure there are a lot of nice kids that are just like...

(CLEARS THROAT) No.

...wanting to hang out with you.

No.

Can I have my breakfast now?

Sure.

I`ll get your breakfast.

Hey.

This is why I can`t trust you, Crosby.

This is why you scare me.

Because of how l`m dressed?

I just got a call from some guy, at my home,

telling me about a meeting we`re having tomorrow

to discuss the lease for the space and calling me a partner.

Oh, that.

All right, l`m not your partner, okay?

I specifically told you. ``l can`t do this with you.``

You ran a successful business for 15 years.

It looks great on an application.

It`s not a big deal.

I just gave them your work history and your sosh.

Wait, you gave them my social security number?

Where did you get my social security number?

From Dad. Where I always get it.

You`ve done this before?

Of course I have! I can`t believe this!

Look at you!

This is exactly why I did not want to go into business with you.

Oh, why, because l`m committed to making this thing happen?

I don`t want to blow this opportunity, Adam.

I see something in that building, okay?

It`s a place where the past and the present come together

over a lunch counter in Haight-Ashbury

and magic can happen there.

I just need you to come and meet the landlord with me.

There are other companies that want the space,

and I gotta convince him.

And you have that thing. People trust you.

There`s a reason why they trust me, Crosby.

I`m trustworthy! I know that.

You`ve got that, and I need it.

Just come with me and talk about the numbers

the way you did at the Pancake House.

Somehow you made that sound exciting.

And then you don`t have to have anything to do with it ever again.

As soon as I get the lease,

your name will come off of it and that will be that.

Hey, honey? Yeah?

Um, you know how I was joking about asking the latte girl

if we could have her baby?

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

Um... What if I did? Did what?

What if I asked her ifwe could have her baby?

She told me she doesn`t want it, she`s giving it up.

And we do want it. Wait. Wait.

What are you saying?

I`m saying I want to ask her.

Honey, you can`t walk up to somebody you work with and say,

``Excuse me, if you`re not using that baby, can we have it?``

(LAUGHS) Why not? Why not?

Okay, okay.

We know nothing about this girl.

I do. I know her.

Okay. How?

She`s lovely. She`s lovely. Good.

She`s smart and beautiful.

From?

And so young. And great at making lattes.

You don`t know genetic makeup.

You don`t know what this girl`s been through.

She could be a crack addict.

She`s not a crack addict.

We could be crack addicts. She knows nothing about us.

Well, you can meet her. I can easily arrange that.

This is just not how it`s done.

Well, can you think outside the box here?

This is falling in our laps. I can`t...

This is an amazing opportunity.

I can`t think outside the box on this one. No...

Consider it! You just can`t go rogue on me

and hammer out a deal at the coffee cart.

That`s crazy, Julia.

You know that`s crazy, right?

We`re going to get a baby.

We`re going to get our baby, but we`re going do it through the proper channels.

We`re going to do it the right way,

and you just have to be patient here.

Okay?

Okay.

MARK: Three hours early. I didn`t have anything else to do.

Yeah, actually, I was about $5 minutes early, um, tonight.

I just hid around... What?

...the corner. You did?

And waited in my car until it seemed appropriate.

You waited in the car? Yeah.

Oh, no. Well, I had...

What did you do? I had things to do.

What did you do? I listened to the radio,

and caught up on current events and things like that. But...

I used to always think it runs in the family,

so it`s not my fault, you know? Tardiness?

Me and Crosby, we struggle. Not so much? Yeah.

It`s not our fault. It`s not your fault.

My brother`s always...

Well, my brother gets there exactly on time.

Oh, yeah? Your older brother?

So I pretend like l`m my brother.

Yeah, my older brother. Okay.

Who`s getting married actually, this December.

Oh! His first. Yeah. His first.

What, is he like, 30 something, right?

Yeah, 32. Yeah, his first. That`s good.

Yeah, yeah. I`m glad.

He`s the first one, and he`s uh...

Yeah, they`re doing it in Cabo.

And, they`ve given me a plus one, so if you want to go.

It`s in December.

Yeah. I mean, we`ll...

No, no, no! It`s just a long time from now.

There`s a lot of time to figure it out.

I`m just not sure what l`m doing in December. No, of course.

You know, in the month of December. Absolutely.

That`s really nice. Thank you. That could be fun.

No... Yeah, there, um... It will be there.

Great. Yeah. Yeah?

Good movie, good walk. Thank you.

It was a great night. Mmm-hmm.

Got a chance to think. Uh...

So, tomorrow,

am l... Am I gonna go with you to the lawyer?

No. No, Haddie, you can`t. For what?

If you`re, like, feeling scared or worried or something,

I would want to be there, like, to help however I can.

You`ve been there for me, all right?

And you`ve been helping me so much

just by spending time with me and just hanging out.

And just taking my mind off of it,

and that means the world to me.

Okay. All right?

Let me just do this myself, okay?

It`s just something I just need to get through,

and l`ll tell you about it later.

I`ll tell you about it tomorrow, okay?

Okay. All right?

Okay. Yeah, if you need to, yeah.

Tell me you love me?

Okay, I love you.

You going to give me a kiss?

Okay.

Good night. Good night.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Hey, honey? Yeah?

Max`s teacher hasn`t emailed me back yet.

I mean, this is ridiculous.

Well, how many emails have you sent her?

Like, seven.

I mean, some response would be nice.

I`m just, really... Seven?

And tomorrow is Max`s fourth day of school?

I just want to know what`s going on.

She hasn`t contacted me about anything.

She knows he has Asperger`s. Mmm-hmm.

He`s not like the other kids at school and l`m worried.

I just feel like it`s everything right now.

You know, it`s not just Max and the new school.

I feel like it`s my job and l`m worried about...

I`m just worried about your job,

and l`m worried about Haddie

and l`m worried about the baby, and l`m just...

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm. Okay.

(VOlCE BREAKlNG) l`m not doing so great mentally right now.

I`m just hormonal and l`m just...

She could just email me back. I would feel a little better.

All right. Okay.

(SlGHS) l`m unraveling a little bit, that`s all.

Hey, l`m making the call. I`m taking the job.

I`ll start next week.

Honey, you don`t have to do that.

I know it`s not your dream job. It`s...

Hey, we`re having a baby, honey.

It`s work. It`s a paycheck. I got to take the job. It`s the right thing to do.

You don`t have to feel bad about it.

You know what?

We`re going to be okay.

(SLOW SONG PLAYlNG)

We`re going to be okay. Okay?

Um, should I park this somewhere down the street?

Um,

I would love to, but I forgot,

and I was just thinking of it that I have a deadline

for my writing class tomorrow... Okay.

...so maybe not tonight.

No problem. Sorry.

No, you don`t have to apologize.

I just wanted to...

I know that the timing wasn`t right two years ago,

but, it seems like the timing is right now, uh, for me at least.

And I just...

I guess I wanted to let you know that this,

this side of the car is ready now.

And I don`t know about that side of the car.

I didn`t think about it or anything.

I just wanted you to know that l`m in.

I don`t know.

I don`t know why, but I don`t.

I`ll talk to you tomorrow. Okay.

Okay. Thank you again.

Yeah. Yeah.

(SCHOOL BELL RlNGlNG)

Zach. Hi.

Hey.

Um...

I`m so sorry.

I`m, l`m so sorry.

I can`t believe that happened.

It was a complete misunderstanding.

Alex is so sorry, okay? He feels terrible.

Okay.

I can understand that you`re mad,

and you can be mad.

I just feel like there`s probably another way

that we can work this out other than pressing charges,

just because, you know, he could go to jail,

and it doesn`t feel like it was that bad of a thing and l`m sorry.

Look, if it was up to me,

I would drop the charges in a second, okay?

But my parents are really pissed.

Did you, uh, explain, like the circumstances, and...

Yeah, yeah. But dude has a record.

He doesn`t have a record.

Uh, yeah, he does actually. Attempted armed robbery.

Sorry, I know Alex and he wouldn`t do that, and he doesn`t have a record.

Well, maybe he wouldn`t, but he did.

(SCHOOL BELL RlNGlNG)

(CHlLDREN TALKlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY)

Hi. I`m Max Braverman.

I looked you in the eye.

What`s his problem?

What, are you reading?

Yeah.

You probably heard.

I had a visitor the other night.

Yep. I heard.

I like him.

That`s nice.

But he`s 28.

Yeah, 28 is kind of young.

He was two years old when The Breakfast Club came out.

Wow. It was that long ago?

Yeah. Yeah.

And, we`re in the car the other night, and I know music.

I`m not, you know...

But he`s playing this stuff called Naked Kids?

I`ve never even heard of them.

You never heard of Naked Kids?

You have? Look,

these are not legitimate concerns, movies and music groups.

What`s the real deal?

I mean, I should be with someone my own age, don`t you think?

Maybe. Not necessarily.

You know, if you were with someone who was $0,

he could be twice divorced and have five kids, you know?

I mean, there could always be an issue

if you wanted to make an issue.

(SlGHS)

Relax, have a good time.

You know? Enjoy yourself, yeah?

Who can do that?

What`s stopping you?

What`s stopping you?

How did Crosby convince you to give him my social security number?

What?

Why did you give Crosby my social security number?

Oh.

Well, he said he needed it.

All right, well, listen. You know what he did with it?

He put my name down on a loan application with that information.

He implicated me as a partner in his new business.

Oh. No. Yeah.

Really? Okay.

So I need your help here. I need you to just remind me of all the ways

that Crosby is a screw up, okay?

He`s impulsive.

I mean, my gosh, he thinks everybody feels the same way

about stuff that he does

and he finds out that you`re on a different page than he is,

and what does he do? Total different page.

He gets upset.

Yeah, like a little baby. That kid has managed to lose every tool l`ve ever owned.

Not surprising.

And he goes through women like cotton candy.

Dad, don`t forget he slept with my son`s behavioral aid.

And you know every time we go out for a meal,

guess who has to pick up the check?

You do. I do.

When he was 16 he stole my car,

he backs into a garbage can.

I remember this. Tears the bumper off.

Guess who ends up paying for it?

You. Yeah, me.

Sure. Why?

He`s not going to pay for it. He`s not going to pay for it.

No. You know what? He takes stuff without asking.

He doesn`t bring it back. He borrows money...

Doesn`t pay it back.

And you know what really bothers me?

This is kind of crazy, but sometimes,

you know, he wears the same shirt two days in a row.

Yeah. Well, I do that too.

Yeah. Well... Yeah.

You know, unless you`re camping, it`s kind of gross.

Mmm-hmm. Anyway.

Boy! Son, I gotta tell you,

I understand perfectly, completely,

why you wouldn`t go into business with him.

Yeah, and yet, you give him my social security number.

It just seemed to mean so much to him.

When he told me,

I swear to God he had tears in his eyes.

You suck, Dad.

You suck.

Now you say hello to your mother.

Yep.

I`ll be out here. Oh, yeah!

I got stuck in some traffic

coming from the press conference.

Uh-huh. Yeah. Probably about 20 minutes.

Okay. Thanks.

(KlDS SHOUTlNG)

It very clearly states that you have the apartment through January of 2012.

So this will be no problem.

(SlGHS DEEPLY)

That`s huge.

My life is such a train wreck right now,

I was really hoping sleeping on the streets

wasn`t going to be part of it.

(SlGHS)

I`m sure what you`re doing is not easy.

I`m not the first dumbass to get knocked up

when she wasn`t supposed to,

so I can`t feel too bad for myself.

I was raised Catholic. Mmm-hmm.

I guess l`m not anymore, but...

You know, at the end of the day, you still hear the hymns.

No, I kind of wish that I had a religion.

We weren`t raised with anything specific.

The agency form I filled out asked if I had a preference

for the adoptive parents` religion? Mmm-hmm.

And I just kept thinking ``None.``

You`re working with an agency?

Yeah. I guess there`s already some huge waiting list for babies.

I guess some people have trouble getting pregnant.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.

(EXHALES SLOWLY)

Are you okay?

Do you need some water or something?

No. I don`t know, l`m hungry or something.

I think I skipped lunch.

I can go steal you something off the cart.

No one`s going to notice. No, no, no, no.

It`s okay. Trust me. No one`s going to notice.

Let me just take one more look at your lease

and then l`ll give it back to you. Okay.

And we`ll be good.

Hey, Kristina.

Hi, Miss Mikindoe.

How are you doing? Good.

I wanted to see if I could talk to you for a couple of minutes.

I brought a coffee. Oh, l`ve got to go.

I thought we could speak for a second.

I`ve sent you a couple of emails regarding Max. Oh, nine, I think.

I know that`s a lot for four days.

But I just really wanted to talk to you about Max`s progress.

Right. I brought us a coffee.

No, I know. I thought we could sit and take a moment just to...

Listen. I`m going to get to those.

I`m going to get to all my emails tonight.

I`ll get to it tonight. Is that...

You know, please?

Please, I just...

I really would like to talk to you for just...

It`ll take five minutes. That`s it.

I know. Okay. A couple of seconds. Okay?

All right. Sit down. Let`s, uh... Thank you.

If I weren`t worried I wouldn`t...

I wouldn`t have barged in like this but...

Max`s dad and l took a huge, huge leap of faith

by sending him to this school and mainstreaming him.

Right. Well, why did you mainstream him?

Well, what do you mean? Do you think it was a bad idea?

Because I fought my husband on it for a while.

No, no, no. I`m not saying it was a bad idea.

I`m asking why you did it.

So he could be academically challenged. And he will be.

He`s extremely bright.

I just... I worry because... (EXHALES)

I`m going to sound like a weirdo,

but I actually left work yesterday just to sort of spy on him,

just to see how he was doing and coping,

and l`m worried about him socially.

And I came to school

and I saw him sitting on the table by himself at lunchtime.

And I just get a little concerned.

I know I sound like a total freak, and l`m just...

I`m very emotional because of hormones and...

You`re not a freak.

You`re just going to have to get a little more comfortable

with having less control.

That`s going to be really hard for me. I know.

Could I maybe get your home number?

(CHUCKLES) l`m just kidding. I wouldn`t do that to you.

I mean...

I`ll try to be a little more...

Thanks. Answer emails a little quicker.

Okay.

He`ll be fine.

(CLEARS THROAT) Hey. Hey.

Um...

So, I gave my landlord that letter

and he completely backed off.

Like, l`ve never seen him so terrified.

(LAUGHlNG)

So I got you a free coffee.

Oh!

It`s not quite free legal advice,

but it`s good with a donut.

(LAUGHS)

Well, l`m glad I could help.

And thank you very much for the coffee.

If, um...

If there`s ever anything I can do for you...

I mean,

I know some pretty cool capoeira moves, you know?

That maybe could come in handy.

Tae kwon do.

I guess l`m just... Thank you.

Zoe,

would you ever consider letting me adopt your baby?

Um...

No.

Our plan is to try to hang on

to as much of these furnishings as possible because it`s so authentic.

And then... Oh, we were going to try to make this functional again.

Make grilled cheeses and malts,

that kind of thing, you know,

so the musicians have something to snack on in between.

Uh... Guys, l`ve gotta be honest with you.

I`ve just gotten a great offer

from another developer and he`s pretty solid.

Really?

Well, this is a pretty unique space.

What are they planning on doing with it?

Pretty much rip everything out and put in office space.

Are you kidding... You`re not kidding.

That`s a terrible idea.

You can`t let them do that.

Uh... Excuse me?

He didn`t mean it like that exactly.

No, no. I mean... No, I mean that.

I`m pretty sure you didn`t.

I do have another meeting to get to, gentlemen, so if...

I`ll make this really quick.

You own a historical treasure...

Dude, people in real estate don`t like to hear the word ``historical.``

Okay. Okay.

So, what we would like to do is take this non-historical site,

and reinvent what it was.

You know, update everything, make it digital,

but hold on to that essence that brought

all these amazing, amazing bands here.

I`ve been a sound engineer for 10 years.

I know what l`m doing. I`m good.

And I have commitments from a lot of artists

that want to follow me over here.

It is very romantic and appealing,

but this other developer has a really solid long-term plan,

and I got to be smart here, guys.

Well, I think this is the smart financial thing.

Now, l`ve run T and S Footwear for 15 years at a profit,

and I believe in this.

This is a great idea.

This is the right space, it`s the right time, it`s the right idea.

It`s the right way to use it.

You just have to see it. You`ve got to look around.

You`ve got to see what he`s talking about.

Now, would you rather be part of a bunch of office space

and cubicles and... I don`t know what would go on here,

but l`m sure you`re going to have a lot more turnover

with whatever that situation is

than if this was a recording studio.

We`re not leaving.

We`re here to lease this space and make our business work.

It`s kind of stupid to even have to ask you this,

but, um,

you don`t have a criminal record...

I mean, that`s ridiculous, right?

Alex, I don`t know how you couldn`t have told me that.

Haddie, you have no clue.

You have no idea

what I went through,

those years I was in trouble,

things that l`m ashamed of.

Haddie, I picked up my dad`s gun

and tried to rob a liquor store, okay?

Because I had no money, I had no food,

I had no alcohol.

I need... I needed it.

(STUTTERS) Haddie, I didn`t...

I was so low,

and I was so weak, I didn`t know what to do.

If I would have been honest up front,

would you have still dated me?

Would you have still been here?

Haddie, could you have... Could you have loved me?

No, you wouldn`t have looked twice at me.

Why? Because when people hear that, it defines you.

That`s it, there is no second chances.

I didn`t... I didn`t want to lose you.

And l... I can`t... I can`t lose you.

Haddie, I don`t have anybody else.

Honey, why`s your door open?

I left it open. Oh, hi!

Hi. What`s going on?

I brought you some stuff.

Why?

(SlGHS) I just brought you some, you know,

stuff that I thought you could use. That`s fine.

Wow, it`s really... Shaping up, huh?

Yeah.

Here, let me just put this over here, close to you

because I know how you feel about him.

So, um...

(SlGHS)

I have something I wanna tell you.

Okay.

I love you.

That`s the most important thing.

I don`t want your feelings to be hurt no matter what.

Everything`s going to be okay.

What is this? What, are you sick? Are you dying?

No.

That`s your reaction? You wouldn`t be more upset or...

You have to give me time. I mean, I need to process.

No, no, it`s nothing like that. I, um...

What?

(STAMMERS) l`m starting to, uh,

fall in love with somebody.

And, I just feel sensitive about it because it`s Mr. Cyr.

It`s Mark.

I didn`t want you to have hurt feelings about it.

Mom, don`t... God, don`t worry about it.

It`s more than okay. It`s amazing.

Doesn`t seem weird, the... You know, so different?

God, Mom, for God sakes!

You`re amazing and wonderful and beautiful and great

and, like, hotter than, you know, anyone my age

that I know, so...

He`s lucky to be with you, for sure.

Listen to me.

You guys have first dibs though, you know?

I mean, you and your brother, you`re always number one.

Unless I have a date,

because then I got to put you at number two.

Good job. I think that`s fair. (CHUCKLES)

I think l`ve done that to you a time or two,

so, I guess we`re even.

Does this mean I can call him Mark now too?

(SLOW SONG PLAYlNG)

I`m in.

Damn the torpedoes?

Damn `em.

Hey! What`s up?

(EXHALlNG)

You`re pretty happy.

This is my victory dance. Yeah?

You did it! Yeah?

I got the lease! You got the lease?

I got the lease! Excellent! We did it.

I could not have done it without you.

All right. Congratulations.

Thank... (CHUCKLES) Thank you.

Thank you so much. You bet.

I don`t know what to do, other than never bother you again

with any recording studio business ever again.

That`s okay. You can bother me.

Oh. You sure?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Listen, I think I might wanna...

I think I maybe changed my mind.

I might want to do this with you.

I`m saying would you reconsider

being partners? Yes.

Yes! Yeah?

Are you for real, though? Yeah.

What about the root beer company? I can`t, I can`t do it.

So we`re going to do this?

I gotta call them and I got to, I got to, I just...

Wait, wait, wait. What?

You and me, partners. We`re going to do this?

Yeah. Look, l...

Well, get excited! I am, I am excited!

This is so wonderful! I am excited, all right?

I don`t want you to get me wrong. I am excited.

Okay, this is going to be magic.

But I want you to know l`m doing this because I believe in you, okay?

But I also believe in this idea.

So you`ve got to trust me when it comes to the business side of things, all right?

And l`m not doing all the work.

You just made my whole year.

Don`t make me regret this, all right?

And don`t tell Kristina. I haven`t...

No, she doesn`t know anything about this, okay?

And l`ve got to let... I`ve got to break this to her softly.

Softly. Gently. Exactly. Gently. Yes.

To the Luncheonette. To the Luncheonette.

To the Luncheonette! All right?

Partners. Partners, you and me.

Modern day Ringling Bros.

Come on! I`m excited.

Are you ready? Yeah, l`m ready!

Let`s do this! Braverman and Braverman!

On three! (BOTH WHOOPlNG)

(BOTH LAUGHlNG)

(UPBEAT SONG PLAYlNG)

Look, there`s my cousin over there!

He`ll know this. Come on. Okay.

DANNY: Do you know how to get to, um,

the Jade Forest without going through the avalanche?

Oh, and do you know how to flip the bridge

away from the bad guy?

Do you know how to... How do you find the strongest weapon?

How do you climb the tree that`s really tall?

Uh, l`m Max Braverman.

I`m Danny. And l`m Jensen.

Okay, so here`s what you do.

So, you can only go to the mountain path

if you know to drink water from the spring.

And once you do that, when you go around the bend,

there will be eight of the Heartless

that you should probably defeat with the Rayfinder.

See? He knows everything about video games.

He`s like a genius.

And so, the thing with the Jade Forest,

you go around the mountain...
