Original subtitles

Do you want to know why I said no?

ZOE: I want a closed adoption.

CROSBY: I think that you have a crush on Dr. Joe

and I think Dr. Joe has a crush on you. What?

ZEEK: This guy is a son of a bitch.

SARAH: He was the love of my life, but he is sick now, and I know that now!

I have relationships with bands.

If I started my own studio, they would all follow me over in a second.

Do you have that in writing?

I have it in fist bumps. I think I might want to do this with you.

To the Luncheonette!

I`m worried. All l`m asking you is to not screw up.

How did this whole thing start?

Max told Jabbar that they had to eat lunch together every day.

I thought that they wanted to eat together.

Not all the time.

MAX: So I don`t get lunch?

No, honey, you get lunch. You just... You have to eat in a classroom, that`s all.

I`ll be alone.

Yeah, but it`s just one week, during lunch.

One week lunch detention, then it`s over.

Yeah, and they also want you to write a letter of apology to Jabbar.

Just a quick letter.

What`s Jabbar`s punishment?

I think he might have a different punishment than you.

So he doesn`t get detention.

No. No.

Does he have to write me a letter?

No, honey, he doesn`t have to write you a letter.

He hit me first. I know.

Max, I know it doesn`t make sense, but the reason that they`re doing this is because

you`re in the fifth grade, he`s in the second grade. Yeah.

And they want you, as the older kid, to set a good example.

You`re older and that`s the reason.

It`s not fair! This isn`t fair!

He hit me first and then I get lunch detention. What genius thought that up?

You`re right to be angry, okay?

Sometimes in life things happen and you just...

This is one of those things where you`ve just got to suck it up and do it.

Suck what up?

Uh, that`s just an expression. Don`t use expressions.

You know I hate expressions. Okay.

It just... It means it`s something you have to do, whether you like it or not.

You just have to do it.

It`s just a week. Honey, we`re sorry. We`re so sorry.

(MAX CRYlNG)

Max, buddy? Hey.

KRlSTlNA: lt`s okay.

Now, look, I know a lot of guys would have valeted on a first date,

but I am not going to pass up a spot like that. And I just saved six bucks.

Pretty good, huh? And while all the other idiots are waiting for their car

we`re just going to zip out, fast getaway.

TUF: You are so financially responsible.

Thank you. And smart.

Thank you, l, well, I try. And I think that`s a good quality of mine, actually.

TUF: I think it`s a great quality.

Hey. Hey.

PRESTlDGE: Hey. What are you, uh... Oh, wow! Okay.

You remember Dr.... Yeah, Dr. Prestidge.

Yeah. What a coincidence, huh?

Hi, l`m Tuf. Tough?

Yeah. Hi. Tuf. Hi. Jasmine.

Tuf. Hey. Nice to meet you.

PRESTlDGE: You guys going to eat?

That`s the plan, yeah. This you?

Yeah. Oh, man, that`s, uh, that`s nice.

Thank you.

See you later. Yeah.

Voila. Thank you.

He doesn`t say ``l knew it was you.``

He says, ``l know it was you, Fredo.``

Well, then he should have said, ``And you are breaking my heart, currently.``

Oh, God! I can`t believe you`re getting it wrong!

He didn`t have to. He says, ``l know it was you, Fredo.``

I said Al Pacino. ``And you broke my heart.``

Listen to me. ``And you broke my heart.``

He held... He goes like this.

SETH: Get a room, you two.

Hey. Hi.

Who is that? It`s... Give me a second.

Hi. What`s going on? Hi.

Ah, just nothing, l`m hanging out in town.

Back in town, huh? Just want to hang, you know?

The old days, and with the music out, and just play guitars, and just, you know,

hang out and sing. You got a guitar in there?

You`re drunk. No l`m not.

Hey, Captain Morgan, why don`t you just give us a little minute here, huh?

Come here. Come over here and talk to me.

I had a drink. I had one drink. I can`t believe you`re drunk.

Oh, my God. What happened, Seth? What happened?

I quit the band. Why?

Well, they fired me, but then I quit.

Seth, you gotta go. You gotta get out of here. Oh, man, why,

because l`m interrupting your time with your boy toy? Hey, Captain!

Sir... I told you to give us some privacy.

Don`t talk to him. Listen to me.

Listen, why don`t I call you a cab, okay, and you can just go.

I got nowhere to go. I`m staying at this hotel.

I got... I couldn`t get my credit card into the thing, so...

Do you need money? I got money in the bank.

Okay, well, what was your plan?

What are you going to do? I just need a place to crash.

Sarah, what the hell is going on?

Oh, God. Oh, no. Papa Bear.

Dad, I got it.

The hell you do. Dad, it`s okay. Uh...

No, it`s not okay.

Papa Bear. No, it`s, uh...

Hey, why don`t you mind your own business, old man?

SARAH: Hey! Hey! Hey! No! Hey!

Get the hell out of here! You want Drew to see you now, you drunken piece of...

Dad, please! Please! I`ve got it under control, Dad! Get your ass out of here!

Go on! Drew`s going to hear.

I`m talking to you.

You guys, no, no! Stop.

You get off my property, Seth.

Come on!

Okay. I`m leaving! Yeah? Let me see!

SARAH: Dad, he`s drunk. He needs a cab.

I like to walk.

Son of a bitch.

I`m sorry. It`s okay.

That`s Seth. That`s your ex-husband, l`m assuming?

I`m really sorry. No, no, no. It`s fine.

You don`t think I look like Captain Morgan, do you? The rum pirate guy?

I don`t. Because he has curly things, and a longer... Come on.

(SlGHS)

Hey.

Hi.

Okay, what`s going on? Uh, nothing. I`m fine.

When did this start? What?

How long has it been happening?

Um, I just had a cramp for the last couple of hours.

Couple hours straight? Like,

every 10 minutes.

How long does it last? For like, two minutes.

Think it`s just gas. T.M.I. Okay, that`s okay.

I`ll get out of your hair. Don`t worry about it.

Okay.

(SlGHS)

Okay, we`re going to the hospital.

I can`t. I can`t go to the hospital. I`m not going to the hospital.

I`ll get fired. You can`t get fired for this.

And you are definitely going to the hospital. Okay.

Hello?

AMBER: Yeah?

Hey, Amber. It`s Aunt Kristina. Hi, honey.

Hi. (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

Um, I just wanted to see if I could talk to you... Hang, hang on!

Oh, hey. Hey.

I woke you up, didn`t l?

No, no. I just... I just got up.

Can I come in for a second? Yes, of course.

I was going to call you and then I thought, well, l`ll just come over and say hello.

I haven`t seen this place yet. It`s beautiful. Very cool. Very cool first apartment.

Thanks. I just wanted to ask you a little...

It`s sort of a weird favor, or whatever.

Are you okay? Do you want to sit down? You should sit.

Yeah, just for a second. And then... Here.

Please.

(SlGHS)

Let me see if I can find a clean glass.

Amber, you know the thing that happened with Max and Jabbar at school?

Yes, I heard. They got into a big fight, and now his detention

is that he has to spend an hour alone this week, at lunchtime, by himself.

That`s extreme.

I was wondering maybe if you could just go and just sit with him for an hour.

Sit in... Sit with him?

In his classroom. In his classroom.

I already cleared it with school and they said it would be fine,

just to make him feel comfortable, because I can`t be there.

I`m just, l`m... I`m nervous because I haven`t spent as much time with him.

I don`t know him as well. I`m mean, l`m not even sure Right.

he`d be comfortable with me being there. Am I really equipped to...

You are. You`re family, and basically, I don`t have any other options right now,

so if you can help me with this... Fair enough.

Amber, I swear I would ask you anyway, but l... Please, l`m not offended.

So, um, he has to write a letter of apology to Jabbar. Right.

And he doesn`t want to do it.

He`s going to be really defiant about it and kind of, Okay.

I don`t know, stand-off-ish, but I really need you to Stand-off-ish.

persist and get through to him.

Of course. Of course. You`ll do it?

It will be fun. Okay. Today at noon.

Today. At noon. Okay.

I love you. I love you too.

You have a good day and call me for anything.

And just be persistent with him, okay?

Persist. Persist.

Okay. Bye.

I asked her point blank, ``What if this Dr. Joe

``asked you on a date?`` Yeah?

Wanted to go out to dinner.

She said no way. Right?

And where would I run into her? At a place where they just had dinner.

Really? Oh. On a date.

Textbook date.

Well, you know what that sounds like?

I mean, how unprofessional is this guy?

You know what that sounds like? He`s dating his patients?

That`s where he`s pulling from?

That sounds like she changed her mind.

Well, clearly she changed her mind.

But, I mean, I would never do that.

Well, I tell you what, why don`t we do a little work, get your mind off it, okay?

You said you were going to fix that board in Studio A?

Yeah, well, are you going to watch in a recliner or what are you gonna do?

No, l`m gonna be working on that contract for the meeting on Friday.

The contract? Yeah, for the meeting.

Mister Ray. Mistah Ray.

Mister Ray. Mistah.

Mistah. Mistah. You`re saying Mister. Mistah.

Mistah Ray. Uh-huh.

Mistah R.A.Y. Ray.

You don`t have to use a different voice when you say Mistah Ray.

Mistah Ray, are you ready to lay down some sweet tracks with Dr. Croz?

That`s great. He`s going to love that.

Uh, on the topic of your hipness. Yeah.

Uh, do you think maybe Friday you could go untucked,

maybe drop a button or so? Just hip it up a little?

Hip it up?

You know, you don`t want to go in there looking like a tax auditor.

Follow me? All right. All right. Okay.

Okay, great. Hip it up.

Well, why don`t you go work on that sound board?

I`m going to review this contract and get some work done.

Adam, you cannot bring a contract there on Friday, okay?

Why not? We gotta go there.

The meeting`s about us convincing him to record here, not about contracts.

What are you talking about?

Crosby, you told me that Mister Ray was going to record

his next album here at the Luncheonette.

You told me this.

It`s a part of our business plan. And he is going to.

This is the money we`re counting on to find other people to record here.

Adam, you`re getting all revved up

and you don`t really know what you`re talking about.

Oh, I don`t? I don`t know when you lie to me? Okay, no.

No, what l`m telling you is if you walk in there...

You can`t do this if we`re going into business together!

You can`t lie to me. Okay, you`re going to have to trust me.

Friday is going to be fine.

He loves me. I`m going to lock the whole thing down.

You just need to relax and chill out on the contracts a little. Okay?

Well, I thought that we had this locked in. That`s what you told me.

We have it locked in, okay? Okay.

I`m going to go work on Studio A.

Okay, good. I`m bringing the contract.

Oh, great, because he`s not going to want to see a...

I`m going to hip it up. I`m going to call him Mistah Ray

so that I don`t embarrass my little brother because l`m not cool.

I`m not hip enough. Hip it up.

Mmm, how`s that squishy cold sandwich? Good.

Okay.

Oh, cool, is this, is this about beetles?

Oh, look at that one`s nose... I don`t want to talk.

Hey, you know what? We should probably start working on that apology to Jabbar, maybe?

No.

Okay. But, you know, you have to, so maybe...

He hit me first. I have nothing to apologize for.

Okay. I actually understand that, but, you know,

the principal says you`ve got to do it, so... I`m not doing it.

You know, your mom actually asked me... I`m not apologizing.

Great.

No cell phones.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hey. I found the doctor.

You are perfectly healthy and so is the baby.

And the contractions? Braxton Hicks.

Who? It`s very common early false contractions.

You`re fine. Okay.

They do want to keep you overnight, though.

Got you a little present. Toothbrush, toothpaste.

I`ll put these here next to the sink.

And, um, you have my cell if you need anything.

That`s okay. It`s really, really late, so you can go. I mean, l`m totally fine.

Yes. Okay, you get some rest, okay? All right. Okay. Thanks.

Um, are you expecting anyone?

Um, Troy is working the late shift tonight, so...

Troy?

That`s my boyfriend. Right.

And your folks?

They work... They live really far.

Okay.

Is this Cupcake Wars?

I don`t know. Do I look like I watch Cupcake Wars?

Well, l`ve got to tell you something. I do.

It`s one of my favorite shows.

Turn it up.

Are you serious? I`m serious.

JULlA: Yeah.

LADY ON TV: ...guava cheesecake cupcake.

It`s a guava cake with cheesecake filling.

You hide the cheesecake filling inside the cupcake hole we made.

Top with cream cheese icing and roll in graham cracker crumbs.

Decorate it with two white chocolate feet. The third cupcake is a...

(RAP MUSlC PLAYlNG)

Hey.

(LAUGHS) Hold on.

Sorry. I didn`t mean to interrupt, honey.

No, no.

What are you wearing? What do you think?

I don`t know. I`m just, uh, l`m putting together

some different looks, because Crosby asked me to hip it up for this meeting.

Stop a moment. Hip it up?

Kind of fit in. You can`t wear that.

Why? It`s awful.

I know, it`s a little dim sum, but it`s clean. (LAUGHlNG)

Honey, why don`t you just wear a suit?

I can`t wear a suit, l`ve got to try and fit in with these guys.

You know, we`ve got to try and land this account.

You know? This is important. Okay.

We want to get these guys in the recording studio.

Wait a second, wait a second.

What? You landed the account.

Uh, well, not exactly.

What do you mean?

Uh... I thought we did. You said that you had the account.

Did Crosby lie to you?

He exaggerated. No, no. That`s a lie, Adam.

He lied. Just say it. He lied. Okay.

Okay, you know what, Adam? I`m really trying to have patience with your brother.

I really am. I mean, he has you dressing up like... Yeah, I know. Look, honey.

I`m trying. He`s having you wear these...

No!

Listen, I know that my brother does a lot of stupid things, okay?

But this recording studio is a good idea, okay?

And l`m not just his brother right now, l`m his business partner, okay?

So I really need you to be on our side.

Can you do that? Yes.

I`m just trying to figure out an outfit that`s not going

to be, you know, too much, but is going to help.

That ain`t it.

Wow, this is just awful. That`s hideous.

It`s bad. Did you give me this? I`m out.

It`s hideous. I never got that for you. I think your mom did.

All right.

All right. I`ll sit here and eat the whole bag. I don`t care.

Okay, l`ll do it. All right.

With feeling.

Jabbar, l`m very sorry for hitting you.

Okay. Now, like you mean it, for two.

I did.

Really? Yes.

Okay, how about this? I`m going to say it two times,

and you can tell me which one you think means more, okay?

Okay.

Jabbar, l`m very sorry for hitting you.

Or, Jabbar, l`m very sorry for hitting you. Okay, which one means more?

I`m not sure.

Max. Which one?

You really can`t tell which one means more? No.

Can I have a Tootsie Roll anyway?

Hi. JOEL: Hey!

SYDNEY: Hi, Mommy!

You`re just in time. I got some great asparagus at the farmer`s market,

and this girl is making... What`s the soup again?

Pink purple polka dot soup. Oh, yeah?

Polka dot soup. That sounds delicious.

It`s the polka dot that`s delicious.

Hi! Zoe, this is Joel.

Hey.

And this is Sydney. And you guys, this is Zoe.

She`s staying with us for dinner. Yeah. Great, great!

I`m going to grab some stuff out of the car.

Oh, okay. Hey, nice to meet you. Hey. Sweet house.

Oh, thank you. Uh, l`m just going to help her with the groceries. I`ll be right back.

Okay. Want to play with me?

Yeah, what the hell?

Hey. I know. I know, I know.

I just... I couldn`t drop her off alone at her apartment. She had kind of a bad scare.

Her boyfriend seems like a jerk.

She couldn`t even call her mother. Oh, okay. I get it.

So, she`s going to get back on her feet and in the morning, it`ll be fine.

Morning? She`s spending the night?

Yeah. It`s one night.

Well, l`m glad we discussed this.

Hey. Oh, hey.

So it looks like we`re going to have to get another pediatrician, huh?

Didn`t we agree that we were seeing people?

What`s the problem? Yeah, people, not our son`s pediatrician.

Oh. Okay, so now we`re judging each other`s choices here?

How`s Tuf? Oh, Tuf.

Yeah, Tuf.

Okay. Well, if Jabbar has a fever of 102, do you have to call Tuf?

That`s the difference. I have to call your boyfriend if my kid`s sick.

You can keep dating him, but we have to get another doctor.

Okay, look. I understand, okay? I understand that this is a bum for you.

I get it. Okay. Thank you.

You can pick whoever you want to take him to... Whoa, let me finish.

He`s the most sought after pediatrician in the area.

Oh, good for him, rah rah. No, Kristina said that his waiting list

is, like, six months long.

Why were you talking to Kristina about him? Because she called me

Uh-huh. because she needed my help to get an appointment with him.

What did you say? What do you think I said? I said of course l`d help.

I called him. I asked, and now they`re all set up. Oh!

So when the baby`s born, they`re good. Oh, yeah. Great.

That`s awesome.

You should call Julia and see if Sydney would like to go to him.

You know? Get the whole Braverman clan Crosby. Crosby!

with Dr. Joe as their main physician.

Where are you going? I`m going to try to drum up more business for Dr. Joe.

Hi.

Hi! Hi.

Hi. How are you?

How have your last twenty-four hours been?

They`ve been good.

That was a good date.

That was a good date.

It started off perfect.

Hi. Hi.

So, l`m sorry that it was like the Jerry Springer show at my house.

(LAUGHS)

You don`t have to apologize.

It`s just, uh...

Um... I`m sorry.

It`s okay.

Just so you know, he`s been doing great for a long time.

He slipped.

Okay, so that was... Okay.

That makes sense. `Cause l wasn`t sure if that was like, uh, a thing that happens.

But that he, he`s been sober for a good chunk of time?

Yeah. Look, it`s, um,

it`s a choice I made 20 years ago that l`ll live with the rest of my life

and at times he`s been really great. You know?

And even when he`s not great, he`s still family.

Yeah, I understand that. I mean, everyone has members of their family

that are difficult to deal with for one reason or another.

Do you? Yeah!

Like who`s, who in... Who in your family is the... Well.

Yeah, I mean... You don`t really have one, do you?

Oh, God. I`m sure I do. I`m sure I do.

But no, I mean, the point is that l, at least I understand.

I`ve read a lot of books about people who have... (LAUGHS)

Um...

Sarah Braverman? (LAUGHS) l`ve wanted to do that since I came in.

Mr. Cyr? Yes?

Did what you see make you want to run away?

Because I would understand if it did.

No.

No. No, I do not want to run away.

Good. Yeah.

You need some more of that.

Ooh, some more sparkle. Do you think it`s the right shade on me, though?

Yes. I think so too.

I think it`s going to go with the new sander.

Oh, you`ve got a purple sander?

You know, I really think purple is your color.

These are turning out so good.

Should I make more, do you think?

Oh, yeah. Yes.

Oh! Good morning!

Hi, Zoe! Hey.

JOEL: How are you? Good morning.

Good. Hey. Look, we`ve got another sleepy-head in the house.

Yeah, you beat her. That`s a pretty big accomplishment. SYDNEY: lt`s pretty hard.

Are you getting your nails painted?

No, why? Oh, God! How`d this happen?

Purple, huh? Mm-hmm.

Figured you more of like a red, red kind of guy.

JOEL: Oh, you did, huh? Mm-hmm.

SYDNEY: Let that dry for a minute.

Made you decaf. Milk? Sugar?

Uh, yeah, milk and sugar. Thank you. Could get used to that.

Can I paint your nails next?

You got black?

I`ve got sparkly black.

Mmm.

(SlGHS) Okay.

Can I touch your baby?

Baby... JOEL: Sydney, no.

What? Aunt Kristina lets me.

Aunt Kristina`s family.

It`s a little different.

It`s okay.

Come on. Get on it.

Cool. Are you having a boy or a girl?

Sydney.

Respect her privacy, baby.

I`m having a boy.

It`s a boy.

Cool.

(LOUD RAP MUSlC PLAYlNG)

Hello? I look like an idiot.

What?

I made a mistake, okay? You asked me to hip it up and I hipped it way up,

so I need to change. Why?

I look ridiculous, okay? I went into this store,

and this guy at the store is a big Mistah Ray fan,

and he said that I needed to look like ``today.``

Not yesterday, but today, and he hooked me up with this stuff,

and I look like a clown. So where are you right now?

I`m at College and Eighth.

Well, listen, you`re closer to my house than I am. I don`t have time to get there.

I`m by Mistah Ray`s. You`ve got to go to my house, get me some normal clothes.

Get me some jeans, a jacket, a tie,

normal Adam Braverman clothes, okay?

Okay. Now, I just want to get this straight.

So your plan is to get naked in front of Mistah Ray`s house.

Yeah! I`m wearing a bull dog! Oh, my God! A bulldog necklace, Crosby!

Just go to the house and get me some normal clothes! Okay. All right.

I will. Thank you.

Zeek, you`re going to have to apologize to Sarah.

I`m going to have to what? You`re going to have to apologize to Sarah.

Come on, it`s been three days.

And you want me to apologize for kicking that scumbag off our property, do you?

Come on, you don`t have to talk about him like that.

I`m not going to edit my feelings for you, for Sarah, or for anybody else, Camille.

Come on, Zeek. They were married for twelve years. He`s Drew and Amber`s dad.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, I was there too, you know?

I mean, what did he do? He spent half those years drunk, loaded.

What did he do to Drew? What did he do to Amber? What did he do to Sarah?

I mean, he`s the reason for most of her pain, for her heartache.

He has a disease.

My God, Camille.

I mean, you`ve always had a soft spot in your heart for that...

He needs help.

Yeah, well, he needs help. I tell you what. I`m going to give him some help.

He shows up here drunk or loaded again, l`m going to call the cops.

Oh, you`re not going to call the cops.

I`m going to call the cops on Seth.

No, you`re going to stay out of it.

No, l`m not going to stay out of it. I`m going to handle it.

I mean, she can`t handle it. She never could. My God, a disease?

I want to say again to the American people

how profoundly sorry I am for what I said and did to trigger these events

and the great burden they have imposed on the Congress and on the American people.

What did he do?

The details aren`t really important, but what do you think he was feeling?

Sad.

Yes! Okay, so why do you think he was feeling sad?

Because he`s saying ``l`m sorry.``

Yes, that`s true, but what about his face, or what about his eyes? What are they doing?

Well, his eyes are facing down.

Yes. His eyes are facing down. Very good. Facing down.

Right. Okay, so what else? Like, is he smiling, or...

No, he`s not smiling.

Not smiling. Okay. Hmm.

And his voice. It sounded real low, Mm-hmm.

Iike this, and he wasn`t very loud.

Yes! Great! These are good notes.

You ready to try one? Yes.

Jabbar, l`m very sorry for hitting you.

Okay, your eyes.

Jabbar, l`m very sorry for hitting you.

And your voice. Jabbar, l`m very sorry for hitting you.

Max, that was so good. Oh, my gosh.

Okay, now I want another one.

Oh, okay.

Jabbar, l`m very sorry for hitting you.

Very good. Oh, wait. What do we say?

Thank you. Eyes.

Tone. Thank you.

Thank you. Ah, beautiful. My favorite student.

Oh, sorry. I didn`t knock. I didn`t know you were here. What...

Um, Adam had a big shopping disaster Hey.

and I need to get a suit for him, so may I go upstairs?

Yeah. You know what? I can help you.

I can get it. I thought you guys had that meeting.

Yeah, l`m on my way there now.

Crosby, I can help you. Hey! I can get it.

You okay?

Do you know that Jasmine is seeing Dr. Joe?

Yeah, she may have mentioned it to me.

So you know that, and then you still try to get an appointment with him.

Well, he`s a pediatrician and we need a pediatrician.

Crosby, we don`t have a pediatrician. Yeah, there`s tons of

pediatricians in the city. Do you have to have that one?

Well, okay, what is the problem?

I just feel like you`re... Okay, what is the problem?

What if you and Adam got divorced and I started taking my son

to his new girlfriend`s practice?

You don`t think that would bother you?

The whole family was going to see Adam`s new girlfriend?

Are you upset that she`s dating again? But Crosby, come on.

I mean, this is silly. No, l`m not upset that she`s dating again.

I`m upset that she`s dating my son`s doctor

and that now you`re trying to make him your kid`s doctor.

You are overreacting. Yeah, l`m overreacting.

Yeah, I think so. Okay.

Well, I hope it doesn`t ever happen to you

so you don`t have to find out if l`m overreacting. Okay? Okay.

Fair enough. You`re being insensitive is what it is.

Wait, what did you just say? I`m insensitive? It`s insensitive, yes.

You know what? You`re insensitive.

You know what`s insensitive?

Insensitive is you sleeping with Gaby. Yeah.

Now we can`t find a replacement for Gaby, still.

Okay, you know what? I also think it was insensitive that you did not

I already said sorry for that. tell us about Jabbar and Max getting

into a fist fight at school, because guess what?

Max has detention and Jabbar doesn`t, he`s off scot-free.

Oh! You`re mad, you`re mad about that?

That`s really good for Max`s self-esteem, isn`t it?

Listen, because I couldn`t bear to tell Adam that Jabbar didn`t

want to eat with your son, you call that insensitive? That`s not the point...

I call it the definition of sensitivity. That`s not the closet.

You know what? It doesn`t matter, okay?

Okay, well, I handled it my way and apparently it didn`t work, okay?

Okay, guess what? You`re going to have to suck it up while my family

sees Dr. Joe, because he`s the best damned pediatrician in town.

Oh, yeah, heaven forbid you should find another pediatrician!

I`m thinking about my family right now.

I`m not thinking about you, Crosby.

Yeah, well, I think about my family too, okay? Oh, and while we`re at it,

don`t lie to my husband. I did not lie to him.

Yes, you have. How?

Don`t tell him that you have a client booked and you don`t.

Don`t do that. Listen, I didn`t tell Adam l had him booked.

Yes, you did. I never said I had a client booked.

You said you had a client booked and you don`t. I said that people would

follow me over. That doesn`t mean we don`t have to meet with them.

Guess what? You need to act like an adult

if you`re going to be in business with my husband, okay?

Okay, l`m in business with your husband, not you, okay? An adult.

I don`t need to take this from you. You know, l...

I`m going to go close this deal.

Close the damn deal because you don`t even have a deal to close.

(EXCLAlMS) You don`t know what the hell you`re talking about.

Crosby? What?

Could you come here for a minute? I can`t...Iisten,

I don`t have time to have this argument.

What are you doing?

My water just broke.

Okay, what...

I`m calling him. Okay, I need you to call Adam right now.

Get him on the phone for us.

Adam! Adam, man, you got to forget about the meeting.

Oh, God. Oh, God. We are Code Blue right now.

Kristina is in labor. Oh, God.

Get to the hospital now! Crosby. Crosby. Crosby. Do something! Oh, my God.

I`m driving as fast as I can! (KRlSTlNA SHRlEKlNG)

What? What are you doing? Oh! Oh!

What! Hold it. You`re holding it, right? Hold it! Oh, God!

Hold it! Oh, I can`t hold it! I`m going to have this baby in your car.

You cannot have the baby in the car, Kristina.

Just drive!

Crosby.

(MUSlC PLAYlNG FROM CAR)

MAN 1: You expecting somebody? MlSTAH RAY: Hell, no.

Hey, I thought... You lost?

No, no, no. I`m not lost. I`m here for the meeting. Mister Ray!

I`m Braverman, Adam Braverman.

You Crosby`s brother? Yes, I am.

You don`t look like Crosby`s brother.

I am. I`m, l`m, Crosby`s brother Adam. Adam Braverman.

I just... I`m a little late, and l`m sure he`s just stuck in traffic.

And you know, you guys are late too, so it`s all good.

Come here. Yeah, what?

Come here. All right.

Nice duds. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) Thank you.

Should I just pull in?

Come on. Just follow me.

Okay, I just got to grab some stuff from my car.

Does your husband always let your daughter do that?

What? Oh, let her paint his nails?

Yeah. I know, I told him he doesn`t have to let her do that,

but he loves her to death, so...

Yeah. I could see that.

My life is such a mess.

You`re really nice.

Thanks.

KRlSTlNA: Oh, God. Oh!

Listen to me. Adam, you need to get your ass down here right now!

(KRlSTlNA PANTlNG THROUGH DOOR) Okay?

I, uh... Did you get a hold of him?

I left him a message and l know he`s going to check it.

No! No! No! And I called my sister and my mom so somebody`s going to be

down here. Just get him here!

Just hold tight, okay?

Oh, God! Ain`t nobody holding tight. We`re at nine centimeters

and dilated. This baby`s coming right now.

I want him so bad! I don`t... I want my husband!

So, you staying with us, or you got something better to do this afternoon?

God, oh... He`s staying.

I`m staying. Okay. I need ice chips and chapstick.

MAN 2: Take it from the top. MlSTAH RAY: All right, all right.

Damn I`m in the zone MAN 2: Zone!

Bad to the bone Bone!

Like every Jones pimp prodigy possibly a freedom

MAN 1 : You okay, dawg? Yo, drink up, man.

(GROWLlNG) Dude, that`s going for real!

Uh, Mister Ray? Your, your dog. MlSTAH RAY: Yo, Cash, sit!

Sorry. He don`t like white people.

I`m not white on the inside.

Come on, Cash. He all right. This white man ain`t going to hurt you.

Come on, let`s go.

MAN 2: Good boy.

Where the hell is Crosby?

(SCREAMS)

DR. KlTE: I need you to push, Kristina! KRlSTlNA: l`m trying.

I can`t do it! I can`t push anymore!

I know, but we`re so close and l`m going to need you to push!

Oh, oh, God, I can`t. I can`t do this.

Kristina, I promise you. I know you`re tired. I know you`re tired.

I`m so tired, l... But we`re so close. Your baby`s about to come.

Every time you feel a contraction I need you to push. Okay?

KRlSTlNA: Okay, I will. I think I need to step out into the hallway for a second.

No, you ain`t. You hold your lady`s hand. You keep your scrawny ass right where it is.

You know, that`s not my wife.

I don`t care if y`all married or not.

Actually that wouldn`t be a bad idea. Will you?

Okay.

Yup. Okay. Just stay for a minute.

I`m not looking. Just, uh, don`t look down there.

Eyes on the road. Just keep your eyes up here on the prize.

Ooh. Okay.

All right, there we go. Good job. Good job.

I feel another contraction coming.

There you go, Kristina. Breathe, breathe.

You`re hurting my hand. Oh, sorry! Sorry! Sorry!

It`s okay. Okay. Okay.

Ooh! One more. Just one more.

You`re doing the breathing? You`re doing great.

You`re doing great. Yeah, l`m doing the breathing. I`m doing the breathing.

There you go. Almost there. I`m almost there.

Please don`t go. Okay, l`m not going. I`m going to stay.

Stay. Promise.

(SCREAMS) Okay? Good, good, good, good!

So what do you use to record?

To record on? I don`t know.

Honestly, I don`t know. Crosby would really be the person to talk to about the equipment.

Well, he ain`t here. I know, and I don`t understand what happened. I`m very sorry.

He just must be delayed.

So what about you, you been doing this for long?

No, no, no. I`m just getting started in the recording industry,

but l`m really excited about it.

What you think about my music?

I liked it.

Get the vibe? I did. I get the vibe.

You get the vibe, homey? Yeah. I do, I get the vibe.

I really... I loved what I heard. I did.

I think that sometimes it can be a little crude. What?

Yo!

The explicit language. I think it`s too much.

It`s Bay Area hip-hop.

What do you expect?

I don`t want you to get me wrong, I like what you have to say.

You know that song that you have

about your brother getting shot? My Redemption.

Yeah, My Redemption. That is a great song.

Powerful, you know? It`s... You`re a poet, and l`m not just saying that.

Did that really happen? Hell yeah, that happened.

What, you think I made that up? No, no.

God, no. Not at all. I just, l`m very sorry.

I don`t know what l`d do if my brother got shot.

That must have been really hard.

Yeah, it was. Well, l`m sorry.

Listen, I like your music, I really do.

I like the stories you put in your music. I would let my kids listen to them,

if there wasn`t all the cursing, is all l`m saying.

You`re the strangest white man I ever met.

Okay. Yo, Adam, you having a baby.

Yeah, my wife and l are having a... No, fool.

I just got a text from Crosby. You`re having a baby now, cuz.

I`m having a baby now?

Crosby`s at the hospital! That`s where Crosby is, Crosby`s in the hospital!

With my wife, who`s having a baby! I`ve got to go!

Listen, we want you to record at the, uh, at the Luncheonette, okay?

Crosby told me you probably wouldn`t want to sign a contract,

but I brought one.

Here. I`m just, l`m just going to set those right there.

I`m just asking you to look it over,

because l`ve got to get to the hospital.

Congratulations, man. Thank you! Okay!

One more big push, Kristina. Here she comes! Here she comes!

(BABY CRYlNG)

Look at your beautiful baby girl.

Oh my God. She`s perfect.

Does the ``not father`` want to cut the cord?

(WHlSPERlNG) Hi, baby.

Oh, hi, baby.

This is Nora.

She`s looking at me. Yeah. Say ``Hi, Uncle Crosby.``

Hi, baby.

I kind of want to wake her up. Is that wrong? Well...

Let me get this straight. Crosby was there,

but Run-D.M.C. was not.

(LAUGHlNG) Exactly. Run was not in the house.

Crosby did amazing. He was pretty awesome. He did great.

Well, he did need a shot of adrenaline.

This is Natalie, who is now an honorary Braverman.

Hi, Natalie. Hi.

You`re okay? I`m good.

Good. I`m good.

She`s a beautiful baby girl. She sure is.

How about that, huh?

Can I hold her? Is it too early?

No, of course not. Yeah. Really?

Oh, my God.

Hi.

All right. Let me see, let me see. Shh!

Let me see, what? She`s sleeping.

Not anymore.

Oh, Millie, look, she`s got your eyes.

Really? Well, I think so.

She`s beautiful.

Yeah, way to go, Kristina.

Thank you.

She didn`t do it all by herself. Aw, here you go.

Give me a man-hug. Come on.

Yeah. Congratulations, Grandpa. Congratulations.

Jabbar`s here.

Everybody, enough about the baby. I have something important to say.

I truly apologize for everything that happened last week.

I should not have hit you.

I should not have made you continue to eat lunch with me when you were ready to leave.

It`s hard for me to be flexible, but l`m working on it.

I really like you, and I hope you will still be my friend.

I still want to be your friend. Cool.

Okay, can you help me on this game? Oh, yeah. Let`s go.

(MOUTHlNG) Thank you very much.

Oh, hi! Hey.

Come in. No, I can`t stay.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, l`m fine. Yeah. Hi. Hey.

Are you having those pains again? No, l`m, l`m okay.

Okay. I`m good. I`m sorry to come here this late.

It`s okay. What`s going on?

If you still, if you still want to have my baby, you can have it.

You have a nice family.
