Looks like we`re going to have to get another pediatrician, huh?

Didn`t we agree that we were seeing people?

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

Hi, Son. Dad.

I`m going to go to rehab, and we can get through this, as a family.

Hi. I just want you to know

I`m going to send in my college essay.

Just don`t want you to freak out. No, no.

Thank you so much for doing everything you do here.

HADDlE: Okay, l`m leaving. Good luck.

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

Okay, who wants chocolate chip pancakes?

Yummy-yum hot and chocolate-y.

I want some. You want some?

Can I eat them in front of the TV?

No, you may not eat them in front of the TV.

We`re having a very special breakfast for a very special day.

Eating in front of the TV would make it even more special.

We`re eating together as a family, all right?

Whoa! Are you having people over after we leave?

No. This is for us, just the family. Have a seat.

Here you go. For us?

ADAM: This is exactly the kind of crap that I knew I would have to deal with.

What`s happened, honey? What`s wrong?

Oh, this very large, very expensive piece of equipment

was supposed to be at the studio today between 11:00 and 2:00,

and these jackass moving guys say it was supposed to be there

between 8:00 and 11:00 and they`re there now. Okay, Adam,

she can understand the word jackass. Oh, oh, honey,

I`m so sorry. HADDlE: No, she can`t.

Those moving guys are aggravating your daddy.

It`s just a habit. I`m very sorry. It`s okay.

Wait a minute, you`re not supposed to talk to babies like that.

It can lead to speech delay.

HADDlE: That`s what he did with you.

Haddie, that`s not funny.

Honey, why is the table all set?

Because we`re having a very special breakfast for a very special day.

I... Does anyone know why it`s a very special day?

Haddie, help me out. I wouldn`t know. It`s your question.

I don`t know what it is. What is it?

Nora is turning five-and-a-half weeks old today.

Right! That`s not a significant passage of time.

It is because Dr. Prestidge said that at five-and-a-half weeks

Nora can mix with the unwashed public,

so we`re having pancake breakfast.

But, honey, l`ve got to get to work. I`m sorry.

Really? You`re not going to eat?

I`ve got to go meet these moving guys. I love you guys.

Later, I got to go deal with this. I love you, honey!

I love you, too.

Okay, special day, guess what?

We`re all going to eat together. Me, you, Haddie and Nora.

(HORN HONKlNG)

My three special kids on this special, special day, okay?

I`m sorry, that`s Jen.

I have to go to a student council meeting.

Okay. Don`t worry. Ooh, don`t cry.

Please don`t cry. Good-bye, honey.

You know? Dad`s gone. Can I just go eat in front of the TV?

Sure. Go ahead. I`m just going to go eat in front of the TV.

Okay. We`re going to have some pancakes.

We`ll just get fatter and fatter.

Oh, my God.

(BOTH LAUGHlNG)

Okay, it`s not what it looks like.

Mmm-hmm.

I know l`m slacking, but this power is greater than me,

I`ve got to eat. I do understand.

Your secret`s safe with me.

Oh, good.

I had such crazy cravings.

I know, right?

Oh, my God, you`re eating sushi.

I know. 8:00 a.m. sushi.

So gross, right?

(LAUGHS) And yet, it`s so good.

Mmm!

SARAH: How`s it been?

Oh, it`s harder than I thought it was going to be.

I almost bailed the first week.

Really? Yeah.

Dr. Patrick did not tell me that.

You`ve been talking to Dr. Patrick?

Yeah. I call him.

Every day.

(CHUCKLES)

Well, he wouldn`t know,

`cause bailing on the program is not something you share with your counselor.

I guess not.

So what made you stay?

You.

I mean, if l`m going to be honest,

which they tell me is part of the recovery program,

it was you.

And I hated you for it.

Well, go ahead and hate me,

just stay sober.

I know it`s going to take a long time to earn your forgiveness,

but l`m going to try,

because I want this.

I mean, for the first time in my life I want it.

Hey, Jasmine. We`re a little early. I`ve gotta get to the studio.

JABBAR: Yeah.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Good morning.

Uh, you remember Dr. Prestidge?

Joe. I mean, you can... You can just call me Joe.

Good morning, Jabbar.

Hi, Dr. Joe.

Twenty minutes early.

Oh, what a fun surprise. You`re early for the first time in your life.

Otherwise Jabbar wouldn`t have a chance to say hi to Dr. Joe.

Why is the doctor here? Do I have to get a shot?

No, no... Yeah, does he have to get a shot?

No, no. I was actually out of coffee, you know, at my house,

and I hear your mom makes a really excellent cup.

JABBAR: Oh, okay. Mmm.

I`m gonna go play with my Lego bricks.

Okay.

Hmm.

I should go. Uh...

And, uh, you know, my stuff`s in the...

Yes, it`s... Yeah, that`s good, yeah.

Through the...

Yeah, l`m going to take off, too.

Crosby...

Yeah, I already got coffee, so...

(SlGHS)

(lMlTATES AlRPLANE)

Hey, what`s in the bag?

Uh, doctor stuff.

Gauze, Band-Aids, stuff like that.

Can I see?

Um, he`s... Dr. Joe is in a hurry.

Hey, is that a Tonka truck?

I got it for my birthday.

You know what? We have something similar down at the hospital,

but nowhere nearly as cool.

Does the truck bed raise and lower?

Yeah! You wanna see?

Yeah. Let`s see what this baby can do.

Ready? Yeah.

Okay, ready? JOE: Ready.

Just dump it on the floor.

JOE: On the floor? Okay, that`s... That`s good...

Spicy tuna or California?

Tuna, or was it California? I don`t even know. It doesn`t matter.

Yeah, it does, California is cooked.

No, but it`s crab. She shouldn`t be eating crab in any form.

Are you sure? Cooked, raw...

Really? Yeah.

I think so.

I don`t know. I never ate it because of Little Mermaid.

That dancing crab killed it for me.

Sebastian? I thought that was a lobster.

No, he was a crab.

What about lobster?

He was a crab. No, l`m sorry. I`m on Zoe.

Can she eat lobster?

Googling it. Yeah, get on that.

Yep. Parasites.

High mercury levels, yeah, you`ve got to talk to her.

Is that weird?

No, it`s not going to be weird unless you make it weird.

You just be casual.

Okay, I can be casual.

KRlSTlNA: (WHlSPERlNG) Let`s go see what big brother`s doing.

Let`s go see.

(GASPS) There he is.

Hi, Max.

Hey, Max? Honey, Nora and I are going to watch a movie.

Do you want to watch with us?

No. Rodney`s shedding his skin.

Oh, very cool. Maybe we could watch with you.

No, Rodney doesn`t like crowds.

Okay.

Excuse me. Hey! There`s Haddie!

Hi. Hi. Whoa!

Hello. Hi! Hey, big sister.

We`re going to watch Mousehunt. You want to watch?

Uh, I have to go study.

Okay, well, it`s a school night.

Did you ask Dad? Yeah. Dad said it`s fine.

I just can`t really study when you`re making so much noise.

Really? I didn`t think that was a problem.

She`s just, you know, a baby.

No, I just don`t want to have to stress out about studying Spanish.

Adios! Adios.

Hey, Adam?

Hi.

(MUSlC BLARlNG ON EARPHONES)

Honey?

Yeah. Are you all right?

Yeah. What are you doing?

Yeah, it`s just this band that Crosby`s trying to get.

It feels like nails being driven directly into my head.

Oh, okay. Did you know that Haddie`s having trouble

studying because of the baby?

Yeah, yeah, she`s 17. She has her own life.

I think she`s just looking... Things have been a little chaotic around here.

We need a family night. This family is completely disconnected.

We`re never home at the same time,

and when we are, we`re in different rooms and it`s crazy.

We need a family fun night. Family fun night?

Fun night, damn it!

Okay. Okay! All right, yeah.

Okay? Family fun night. I`m in.

Fun! I`m looking forward to it.

(LAUGHS) We`re going to have fun.

Hey.

Hi.

Your mother set a plate for you.

Did you... Found it, huh?

Yeah.

Hey, uh...

She said that you went and saw Seth, right?

Yeah.

She said you`re going to go see him tomorrow. Is that right?

You`re going to keep seeing this guy?

How many times are you going to go see him?

I don`t know.

Oh, yeah.

Well, don`t you think it`s time to set some boundaries, Sarah?

I mean, this is how it always starts.

I am setting boundaries.

(DOOR SLAMMlNG)

Okay, Roy Orbison, let me check your mic level.

Say something.

What should I say?

Uh, maybe count to three.

Or, no, no, you know what? Tell me a joke.

Knock, knock. Who`s there?

Says.

Says who?

Says me. That`s who.

That`s a pretty good joke.

Dr. Joe taught it to me.

When did he teach you that?

This morning.

I used to think he was scary, but he`s not.

We filled up my truck with Lego bricks

and made it dump all over my Ewok Village.

It was so funny.

You want to sing? Okay.

(SlNGlNG) My name`s Jabbar and I got curly hair...

MAN: Thank you.

Good morning, Zoe.

What`s up? The usual?

Yes, that would be awesome. Here.

Okay, l`m ready.

How are you?

Uh, l`m fat, thanks for asking.

You don`t look it at all.

And yourself?

I am well. Thank you.

Mmm, that wasn`t believable.

Well, I do have to talk to you about something, though,

and it`s kind of awkward because it`s about the baby.

So you were eating sushi.

I know, spicy tuna roll is so good.

Yeah. But you can`t do that when you`re pregnant.

What? Eat lunch for breakfast? Illegal!

Eat sushi.

(LAUGHS)

Cooked crab and lobster are okay in moderation,

but like super, super moderation.

This is just according to what I googled.

And raw fish, you know, it should be probably avoided entirely.

And lobster, too, and the crab, just to be safe.

You googled my eating habits?

Well, I wanted to make sure I was right before I brought it up, you know?

And Joel didn`t remember, so, yeah, I googled it.

And you talked to your husband about what l`m eating.

Joel. Okay.

Who`s Joel, a fish expert?

This is coming out wrong.

Okay, we couldn`t even remember, you know,

all the things that you are or aren`t supposed to eat,

so we don`t blame you at all for not knowing.

(SCOFFS)

Okay. And ``blame`` is the wrong word there.

Thanks. Next?

Hi, what can l get for you?

Decaf, please.

ADAM: After you.

Thanks for coming in. We`ll give you a call.

Hey. Hey!

Pop, what are you doing here? Is everything okay?

Look, can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah, just, uh, just give me one minute, okay?

Bianca? Bianca, just head right in there

and we`ll be right with you.

Great. What`s going on?

Well, can we go...

You okay?

Yeah, kind of.

You know, Sarah has been calling the rehab every day to check up on Seth.

Mmm-hmm. And, uh,

yesterday she went to see him.

Mmm-hmm. And it`s just

scaring the hell out of me, Son.

Yeah. I hear you, Dad. And that`s...

But, you know, that`s her business.

We`ve got to let her do her thing here.

No, it`s not, it`s really my business.

It`s family business. You know, she`s my daughter.

You think about it. If something like this were to happen to Haddie, you know?

How would you feel? What would you do?

Son, it just tears your heart out, l`m telling you.

(SlGHS) This guy`s responsible for what happened to her.

I mean, that`s why she`s back here

and she starts to get her life back together again.

And, you know, everything starts to seem to be copacetic

and then this guy shows back up again, and...

And I don`t know what to say.

I`m doing all the wrong things.

So you talked to her? I talked...

Yeah, I talked to her and she just kind of shut me out, you know.

What can I do for you?

Would you talk to her?

I don`t know if it`ll do any good, but l`ll talk to her.

Thanks, Adam. Thank you.

All right, Pop.

Boy, some of these applications are looking pretty grim, you know?

We might want to start having a serious conversation

about upping the receptionist salary.

Yeah. Whatever.

This isn`t a ``yeah, whatever.``

This is a serious business decision...

I`m going to have to say something to Jasmine...

And we have to pull money...

Because what she did this morning is, you know...

We`re going to have to pull money from someplace else.

...is in total violation of the agreement we have...

You`re not even listening to me.

Well, maybe you`re not listening to me. This is serious.

This is a big deal. All right.

We had an agreement no significant others around Jabbar.

So why is there a pediatrician playing Tonka trucks with my son?

It`s not cool.

Crosby, you were 20 minutes early.

Okay, you know what?

Is it impossible for you to ever look at it from my point of view?

You always got to go straight to Jasmine.

I`m trying to look at the whole picture, okay?

I get it. Okay. You guys are sharing custody and that`s tough.

And l`m just saying

that she was just probably doing the best that she could in an awkward situation.

(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG) Hold on a second.

You know if I were late, that`s what you`d be yelling at me about.

Just a second. Hey, honey.

Is that Kristina? Yes.

Run the situation by her. I`m not going to ask...

I guarantee she`ll say it`s bogus. Hi! Hold on, honey.

I was told you were ready for me. Dottie?

Yeah. Hi. Hi! Just please, take a seat.

I`m going to be back here in a minute. Okay.

My brother`s going to start the interview. Okay?

Hi, hi. I`m Dottie.

Here`s my resume.

Oh. I`m going to be completely honest with you.

My brother usually handles the interview stuff

so l`m not entirely sure what l`m supposed to do.

Well, you could ask... Just ask me some questions.

Okay. Yeah, all right. Here`s a question.

Let`s say, hypothetically

you share custody of a six-year-old with your ex-fiancee.

How do you handle that?

Listen, I thought of an activity that we can all do as a family.

ADAM: Family fun night, right.

You know, it has to be really fun or else no one`s going to want to go.

So what do you say to bowling?

I say Max hates bowling.

Since when?

Well, since Chris Barnes won the PBA tour.

Who`s Chris? That doesn`t even make any sense. I don`t...

You`re right about that. Maybe we should try to reason with him.

Okay, okay. What about the arcade? He loves the arcade.

Yeah, he loves it, but Haddie would kill us.

(SlGHS) Okay.

How about... How about ice skating? Come on.

Ice skating is so fun. Kristina, a newborn on ice?

You can`t do that. Yeah, you know what, honey?

You`re not coming up with any brilliant ideas yourself.

Honey, listen. I`m going to do the best that I can

to come up with something, but I just...

I feel like maybe you`re right, you know?

Maybe it`s just too soon for us to find an activity

that all of us can enjoy together, we should just wait.

No. Honey, Haddie`s going to go off to college

and we have a tiny little window right now, okay?

I want to do something as a family,

so think of something because this is happening.

Okay?

(KNOCKlNG ON DOOR)

Hi. Sarah.

Hi. Hi. You`re...early.

Yeah.

For our date, you`re like... I`m not quite ready.

I can`t go out with you tonight.

I have to cancel. I`m so sorry.

It`s because of Seth. He`s got some counseling session tonight

he`s asked me to come to.

And I just think I should go.

Okay.

He`s in such a fragile place. I... I couldn`t say no.

Okay.

I feel so bad, I almost thought of making up a story, you know?

My cat got sick or something.

And then I thought what am I doing? This is ridiculous.

That would have been a bad lie anyway

because I know you don`t have a cat.

So I would have figured that out real quick.

No, I would have had to get a cat and then poison it for it to be sick.

(CHUCKLES)

Well, all right, how are you feeling about that?

I mean, counseling session with...

I don`t know. I feel... Crazy.

I`m worried about him and l`m, you know, and l`m worried about you.

And so, I just feel overwhelmed, I guess. I feel bad.

Oh, all right. No, I feel bad.

No, you don`t have to worry about me.

I understand that this is your life right now.

And you never have to make up a story for me.

It was better to tell me.

It would have been a great dinner and I had a surprise, but...

No.

But, I hope tonight goes, um...

I don`t even know what adjective l`m looking for.

I hope tonight goes... Too.

(STUTTERS)

And I want you to know that...

That you can`t keep canceling on me last minute.

That`s... That`s just not going to be okay with me.

(CHUCKLES)

Well, did you say it conversationally or lecture-y?

JULlA: I tried to keep it conversational

but words just kept pouring out of my mouth.

Jules, I know I wasn`t there,

but I have a strong feeling you`re overreacting.

You know, Zoe just probably needed time to process.

Have you seen her since?

No. I`ve been hiding in my office.

I haven`t peed in like seven hours.

Ah, as long as you`re not overreacting.

Joel, she had no idea that there are things that you can`t eat.

I don`t think she has anyone in her life to tell her these things

or have these conversations.

Well, that`s why you had to say something.

She was so hurt. She was so embarrassed.

I know you feel bad.

Oh! Joel, what if she changes her mind?

Julia... It`s just... Deep breaths, honey.

Okay.

(EXHALES)

All right. I`m acting crazy.

I just don`t want to screw it up.

And I really, really have to pee.

Julia? Yeah?

She needed to hear what you said.

Yeah.

You know, I still got some pretty big issues with some of the things

that you guys are teaching us around here, you know?

I mean, I was in group last week

and we started out just like always.

Trying to one-up each other with, you know, all the horrible things we`ve done.

And it`s my turn

and I give my laundry list of forgotten birthdays

and, you know, the times I didn`t come home.

And, you know, I even...

I even sold my kid`s baseball cards once for drug money.

I mean, you didn`t even know that.

Sarah, do you want to talk about how that makes you feel?

No. (CLEARS THROAT)

I`ll just listen. Go on.

SETH: Anyway, after group, we do this hand-holding deal

where we recite one of these rehab mantras.

``We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.``

Yeah, that`s the one.

So I go back to my room, and my roommate, Bobby, he`s... He`s not there.

But the mail had come because there was a card propped up on his nightstand.

It`s one of these crayon... Crayon, you know...

Obviously his kid made it.

And, you know, I shouldn`t have, but I opened it,

and it said, ``l miss you, Daddy. Get well soon, Daddy.``

And I looked at my nightstand,

I got a couple guitar picks there and some loose change,

and I know I don`t deserve anything else.

I mean I know you got to earn a card like the one Bobby`s got.

But it made me start thinking about my kids, Amber and Drew, especially Amber.

When she was Bobby`s kid`s age.

Do you remember after her seventh birthday party that night

when you finally got her to go to sleep,

do you remember what happened?

It was the first time I asked you to go to rehab.

That`s right.

And I should have gone.

``We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.``

No way, man.

Uh-uh, Doc. I`m not buying that.

`Cause until the day I die

I`m going to regret not listening to my wife that night.

Because if I did, l`d have a different life.

I`d have a better life.

Maybe we`d still be a family.

JULlA: Did you want more?

Yeah. Is this tacky?

Is this wrong that l`m guzzling wine

as I talk about visiting rehab?

I don`t think it is at all. That`s enough.

Anyway, tell me about the session.

Well, so he says if he`d gotten sober years ago,

maybe we`d still be a family.

You know what? I need, like, whiskey or something harder.

He said that? Yeah.

And I can`t stop thinking about it,

`cause that`s what l`ve always thought, maybe we would.

But he didn`t.

He didn`t get sober.

And he did terrible things.

And for a long time I thought I would never love anybody again.

Does Mark know anything about this?

You know, some.

I just don`t want to talk about it all the time, which is hard,

because it`s all l`m thinking about all the time.

So it makes me a bad girlfriend.

You`re an amazing ex-wife though. Mmm.

No. Mmm.

No. Well... Sorry.

I mean that truly, you`re... You`re being supportive of Seth.

It`s... It`s nice.

But is it crazy to be supportive of Seth?

Why am l supportive of Seth?

Can he really stay sober?

I do have vodka in the freezer.

Awesome. Okay.

(GURGLlNG)

(LAUGHlNG)

(DOOR CLOSlNG)

Honey, I have figured out the family fun night puzzle.

Hi!

Okay. Daddy`s home.

We`ve got a newborn... Yes.

...an 1 1-year-old with Asperger`s and a teenager.

But one thing we can all enjoy...

Is? Two words.

Okay. Maybe one word hyphenated.

Okay, what? What is it? Mini golf.

Mini golf? Mini golf.

I like it. You like that?

Yeah! Come on.

Okay! Boom!

Wow, good idea.

Mini golf. Mini golf.

I mean, is he getting out soon or what?

Well, they keep him for a certain amount of time and then we`ll see, you know?

I mean, he might go through...

Well, I mean, I guess, do you think he`s going to get better or not?

I mean, it`s not a disease. I mean, it`s not like the flu.

He`s not going to get better... I`m sorry.

Maybe he`ll stop making bad choices.

Well, actually, it is a disease.

Well, sure, but it`s also making choices, so...

It is also making choices. He made the choice to go into rehab.

He`s doing well. Great. I`m just saying...

And I just wanted to tell you guys that l`ve been worried about him.

I figured you guys might be worried about him.

And l`m just letting you know that so far, he`s doing okay,

and thought you would like to know,

because l`m going to go see him later.

Great.

Tell him I said hi.

Yeah, me, too. I mean, definitely.

That will make him feel really good, you guys.

I micromanage. That`s what I do.

Oh, my God. Are you serious?

Look, I got the message loud and clear yesterday, okay?

I`m not going to feed your baby raw fish.

You got it. All right, boss? Thanks.

Zoe, I would have had that conversation with you

regardless of our arrangement, okay?

I don`t know if anybody is telling you these things,

and it`s just something that you needed to know.

So, here.

What is that?

It is chicken and roasted potatoes, and a little kale.

What is kale?

It is a green leafy vegetable, and Joel says it`s a superfood.

It`s really trendy right now, and it tastes good.

Is this some kind of bribe or something?

No. You deserve to have someone make you a nice lunch.

Pregnancy is exhausting, and what you`re doing emotionally is...

Anyway.

Okay.

I`m done. So...

You know, you also deserve to have someone make you a nice dinner.

So if you want to come over tomorrow night...

Also, plastic can`t go in the microwave

because it releases the chemicals into the food.

Oh, my God, are you for real?

You knew that one. Good. Okay, going now.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Who is it? (KNOCKlNG CONTlNUES)

Who is it? Crosby.

Door`s open.

(CONTlNUES KNOCKlNG)

Door`s open, didn`t you hear me?

Well, I didn`t want to surprise you.

God knows who`s in here.

Uh! I`m alone. What`s up?

Jabbar told me he spent the whole day playing trucks with Dr. Joe.

All day? It was 15 minutes.

Okay, well, even if it were five minutes,

we had a deal and you broke it.

The deal was that you drop him off at 7::30.

Okay, l`ll just ignore all the times you`ve bitched at me for being late.

Now l`m early and l`m in trouble.

Maybe you should put a clock out in front of the door

and I can just watch it tick and then...

You know what? You`re being irrational right now.

I don`t want that guy around my kid. Period.

Do you understand that?

Okay, now you`re not being irrational, you`re being insane.

It was a short visit. No one got hurt.

I did! I got hurt!

I had to listen to Jabbar talk about how fun it is hanging with Dr. Joe?

How hilarious it was when he dumped his blocks on his Ewoks?

I don`t want to be replaced.

He`s my son.

You`re right. We had a deal.

I shouldn`t let Joe stay.

Okay. Okay.

Thank you.

(DOOR CLOSES) (SlGHS)

Hey. SARAH: Hi.

What`s up?

Uh, nothing.

Sarah? Sorry, just one second.

That`s all right. I was just returning this tool box.

Uh-huh. I just borrowed some tools from Dad.

We had some stuff for the studio that was broken

and I had to fix it, so... You needed tools.

Yup. Yeah.

So how`s it going? Oh, it`s terrible.

I write something and I like it at night,

and then I wake up in the morning and it`s... I think it`s so stupid.

Yeah. I guess that`s normal.

Yeah, writing`s hard, especially when you`re...

You`re probably distracted, with Seth being in rehab and all.

Right? How`s that going?

This is an ambush.

It`s not an ambush.

There aren`t even really tools in that box, are there?

Come on, Sarah. (TOOLS CLATTERlNG)

It`s like... No, I don`t think so.

Dad sent you, right?

Yeah, Dad sent me. Yeah.

Look, he`s a meddler. He`s a pain in the ass, okay?

But his heart`s in the right place. He`s worried about you.

That`s fine. Just tell him to just stay out of it.

I don`t think he can.

He`s worried about you, Sarah, and so am l.

Okay, well, I got it.

What? All right.

(CLEARS THROAT) Oh, boy.

I`m going to say something to you, okay, and this isn`t coming from Dad.

This is coming from me. You need to be careful.

We`ve been down this road with Seth before,

and we`ve seen where it leads, so...

Thank you. But we haven`t been down this road before with Seth,

I have been down this road many, many times,

which is how I know this time he is capable of change.

I believe that you really want that to be true,

but I don`t think Seth is ever going to change

the way that you are hoping that he will or expecting him to.

How do you know what l`m hoping or expecting?

I just want something better to happen.

I... It`s like saying, you know, give up on Sarah.

She hasn`t done anything yet with her life.

Give up on Amber. She had that rough patch last year.

I`m... How can I give up? I can`t give up.

He is capable of change.

I believe that. I do.

Okay.

All right.

I just don`t want to see you get hurt. That`s all.

Didn`t mean to offend you, just trying to look out for you, okay?

I`m going to go visit Seth.

Hey, if we rush we can probably make the previews.

What are you doing?

Yesterday I noticed that one of the tires was loose.

But I think I fixed it.

Yeah. Yeah, I got it.

KRlSTlNA: All right. Here we go. We`re excited!

ADAM: All right. HADDlE: You`re welcome.

KRlSTlNA: Come on, babe. Let`s go.

Mini golf is back on track.

Load it up, guys. Me.

All right. KRlSTlNA: Here we go!

HADDlE: lt`s not even dark outside yet. ADAM: Not yet.

Max? You excited?

HADDlE: Well, I thought it was family fun night.

KRlSTlNA: Load it up.

All right. Come on, come on, come on.

Your first family outing, you`re going to love this.

Wait, no. Nora`s in my seat.

No, your seat`s in the back now.

Max, this is Nora`s seat now.

Whoever sits in the back has the highest chance of dying in a car crash.

Okay, well, you have to do it.

Stop! HADDlE: Oh, my God!

I`ll sit in the back.

Hi, baby. You get the good seat. Haddie, thank you.

You`re welcome.

Who`s excited? I`m excited.

I`m excited. You know why?

KRlSTlNA: Why? Because I love mini golf.

(ENGlNE STARTlNG)

Okay. So, Haddie, l`m getting a video game for going mini golfing.

What should I get? Oh, wow, I could care less. I don`t care at all...

This is exciting. Max, it`s not about getting a video game,

it`s about getting to spend time with the family. That`s right.

MAX: l`d rather go bowling. Honey, this is way more fun than bowling.

HADDlE: Let him go bowling. Mini golf`s no bowling.

ADAM: You can`t go bowling.

MAX: What? HADDlE: Why?

We made a decision. It`s unfair to your sisters, Max.

And we haven`t done this in so long.

HADDlE: l`m just saying that we don`t care.

It`s not for me, it`s not for Nora.

Haddie, you`re not helping, okay?

We made a decision to go play mini golf.

HADDlE: Why don`t we just go bowling?

MAX: Why are we even going to mini golf?

Oh, man. I knew this was a bad idea.

Haddie, that doesn`t help. It`s not a bad idea.

This is a great idea. I don`t know why everybody`s like...

I`m trying to be positive here!

No, just stop the car! Stop the car!

What`s wrong? What`s wrong? Stop the car!

(TlRES SCREECHlNG)

My God, honey, what`s wrong?

You know, if nobody wants to go, then we`re not going to go.

This is stupid... Hey, hey, hey, hey...

If l`m the only one who wants to do this. All you guys, no...

I`m talking about... Max.

All you`ve been doing is whining and complaining.

``l don`t want to go. I want to do this.``

Let`s just take a breath and regroup... You regroup...

You know what? Screw this.

Hey, honey! MAX: What`s Mom doing?

Don`t worry about me, `cause guess what l`m doing?

I`m going mini golfing.

Get out of the car. Get out! Get out! Get out!

ADAM: Hey, take a deep breath... Get out of the car!

KRlSTlNA: All right. See you later. Bye. I love you, bye!

HADDlE: Crazy...

(TlRES SCREECHlNG)

Do you think she remembers that Nora`s still in the backseat?

No.

There`s an oldie but a goodie.

That`s a goodie.

Isn`t that crazy?

You remember that little cottage on Bay Street.

We weren`t there very long, but it was so cute.

Why did we take a picture that day, though?

That`s right after Amber lost her first tooth.

Was it? Yeah.

Was it Alice`s restaurant on Old La Honda.

Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!

Remember she bit into a French fry?

She had that bizarre fear of the Tooth Fairy.

What`d she say? ``Don`t let the crazy fairy...

BOTH: ``Steal my teeth!``

(BOTH LAUGHlNG)

Wow!

She slept with us for a couple of weeks after that.

A couple of months after that. She was so afraid.

Oh, it`s...

Oh, no, you keep it.

Really?

Put it on your nightstand.

(SlGHS)

I should go.

You probably have to do arts and crafts or something.

You want to stay?

I mean, ifyou don`t have any plans,

they lifted my restriction on visitations.

We only get four channels in there,

but they`re playing Vertigo tonight.

(GASPS) Vertigo.

How many times have we seen Vertigo?

Yeah, I think I have every line memorized.

Mmm-hmm, me, too.

What do you say? Do you want to make a night of it?

I can`t.

We`ll do it some other time.

Yes.

Come here.

I had two students copy the exact same paper off the lnternet.

No way.

And at least one of them had the sense to switch a couple of the words around.

But the other one didn`t even bother.

Oh, my God.

See, this is why l`m afraid of the lnternet.

I`m a little bit afraid of the lnternet, too.

I want to go back to just, like, the encyclopedia.

Yeah, cheating the old-fashioned way.

Yeah, cheating off of an actual book.

Having to actually write it down.

Steal your mom`s paper or something like that.

Your mom`s paper. (BOTH LAUGHlNG)

(HESlTANTLY) I just have to say something.

It`s not a horrible thing, so don`t get nervous.

I just have to say it or l`m going to go crazy.

(STAMMERS) l`m...

I`m glad that your ex is going to rehab.

I think that`s a huge thing.

It`s a colossal thing. It`s great.

But I just have to ask, is this...

Is it something that I need to worry about?

I mean is Seth something that I need to worry about?

No.

No.

Yes.

Yes?

No. Yes, no.

Yes, to the answer.

Yes, no.

Okay. Cool.

(ROMANTlC SONG PLAYlNG)

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

(DOOR OPENS)

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

MAX: How was mini golf?

(CRlCKETS CHlRPlNG)

Oh, God.

It`s okay. It`s okay. I`ll do it.

All right.

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Start over again.

(COOlNG)

(SOFTLY) My little nugget.

Going night-night, okay?

Go night-night, baby. I know, baby, I know.

Mom?

Do you have a second? I just want to say sorry.

I talked to Dad and Max. Mmm-hmm.

We`re sorry. (SCOFFS)

You`re sorry? Honey, I left you in the middle of the street.

Not my finest moment as a mom.

Mmm-hmm. It felt good at the time, but...

Well, yeah, you know, we were being rude and disrespectful, too, so...

It`s okay.

Well, yeah... Have a seat.

What`s going on?

I was just... I don`t know... I`ve just been so excited about tonight, you know?

I`ve been trying to plan this thing this whole week,

and I just... I guess I forced it, you know?

I just really wanted this to be a special night.

It`s kind of sad to think that, you know,

you`re going to be leaving the house,

and it`s going to be a whole other dynamic.

Okay.

You`re upset because l`m going to college?

No, honey. I`m so excited and happy for you.

And l`m thrilled and l`m so proud.

I`m just... It makes me a little sad

that you won`t be able to see Nora grow up

the same way that you saw Max grow up. I just...

Mom, l`m going to be here for summer...

I know. And for breaks...

Or maybe you`ll go to Paris or you`ll go to ltaly or intern in D.C.

I don`t know.

I`m just... I`m being a little selfish is all.

No, I understand. Because l`m already missing you.

A lot.

Mom.

I know. We still have a year.

I know. We have a year.

I love you.

(CHUCKLES)

(SlGHS)

(COUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Come here.

(LAUGHS)

(MUMBLlNG)

I`m sorry that I didn`t want to go mini golfing.

And l`m also sorry that I didn`t want to sit in the backseat.

And Dad says that he`s sorry that you`re losing it.

(GRUNTS)

I`m sorry l`m psycho, honey.

It`s cool. We`re used to it.

Great.

Why are there four plates at the table?

Your mom invited a friend.

JULlA: Yes. I don`t think she`s coming, actually.

But, let`s eat.

This looks delicious, doesn`t it?

Okay.

(DOORBELL RlNGlNG)

Maybe.

(CLEARlNG THROAT)

Hey, you made it.

Yeah, I did.

Great. Come in.

Oh, thanks. I almost didn`t. Your kale was weird.

Oh, good.

It was kale, right? Yeah, it was kale.

But your chicken was good. So, yeah, whatever. I`ll do dinner.

I`m glad you`re here.

I`m happy to be here.

(KNOCKlNG)

Hey. Hey.

Uh, where`s Jabbar?

Play date with Jensen.

I was hoping that we could talk.

Yeah. Sit... Sit down.

I want you to know that I heard everything you said,

and you`re right.

We do owe it to each other to have a conversation

before we bring Jabbar around anyone we`re dating.

Well, good. I`m... I`m glad we`re on the same page.

Sorry I was so, you know.

It`s okay.

I think l`m ready to have that conversation.

I think it`s getting more real with me and Joe,

and l`d like Jabbar to get to know him.
