Original subtitles

They gave me a budget for an assistant,

and I immediately thought ofyou.

Bob Little (LAUGHS) Hi.

I`m Amber.

KRlSTlNA: You`re not going to let me down.

BlRTHlNG COACH: The greatest joy you`ll ever feel in your life

is the first time you hold your baby in your arms.

It`s all getting so real, huh?

Yeah.

CROSBY: It`s not a hookup.

Actually, you know, I like this girl.

I could totally see having a baby with you.

SARAH: You said you wanted to have a baby,

and then, we never talked about it again.

CROSBY: You know, I think you`re underestimating

how cool this new analog equipment is.

We have to get it. ADAM: l`m sure it`s really cool,

but we can`t afford it right now.

We haven`t even paid off that renovation.

Well, then we`ll put it on a credit card.

Putting that on a credit card? We can`t go into any more debt

until we start churning a profit. It`s an investment.

You got to spend money to make money.

You`re underestimating how much money we have. Where are you going?

Come on, record store. We got to go back...

You`re not authorized. What`s up?

Crosby, what`s up, man? How are you?

Good. This is Brent.

He`s the... Was the second best

sound engineer over at Bay View.

But now, you`re probably the best.

Because you were the best.

He`s so cute to say that. How you doing? Adam.

I`m his partner.

Business partner.

Right. And brother.

Luncheonette, right? Yeah.

Yeah. How`s it going? Good.

Oh, so much better than Bay View.

No Sid. Yeah.

How`s Sid? Everyone still hate him? Yeah. Absolutely.

The guy`s the worst boss ever. It`s horrible.

But you know, we`re busy, so...

That`s cool. But you know what?

Actually, I got to get going.

The guys from Dawes are coming down.

They want to look at the new setup, and all that.

Oh, cool. Sid wants me to seduce them, which...

Seduce them? Yeah, I don`t know what that means.

I didn`t know they were in town. Yeah.

Say hi to Griffin and Taylor. Those guys are... Oh, you know those guys?

Yeah, little bit. Right, so,

then you got to give me some pointers on how to seduce them.

They`re super laid-back. You just be yourself. They`ll love you.

All right. Cool, man. Really great seeing you. Yeah.

All right, and if you need a better sound engineer when things get busy...

Uh-huh. Give me a call. That jackass has got my number.

I probably will. All right.

I`m a little dissatisfied with the guy right now. (CHUCKLES)

All right, guys, see you later. Take care.

You know Dawes?

Yeah, I mean, I don`t text with the guys, but I know them.

You know, we have to try to seduce them.

Amber, l`m just going to go ahead and cut to the chase here.

Okay.

You can`t be my assistant any longer.

I`m sorry. I`m sorry.

I... I don`t understand.

You got a promotion.

You got a big, fat juicy promotion.

Bob wants you to be his assistant. I am not even joking.

I am so insanely proud of you!

I`m so excited. I`m coming over to give you a hug. Oh, wow...

I know this is totally unprofessional. Hug? Okay.

No, l`m just... Come here. Come here. Wow! I`m so proud of you.

BOB: Hey. That`s great. (CHUCKLES)

I`m so proud. I`m guessing Kristina told you the news.

I did. Yeah. Thank you. I`m surprised.

Don`t be surprised? You`ve earned it. KRlSTlNA: Yes, you did.

Wow.

SYDNEY: Here we go.

Oh, hello.

I want to name my baby brother Andy.

What do you think his name should be?

I don`t know, Syd.

Do you think my baby brother can sleep in my room sometimes?

Or will he always sleep in your room?

You guys good?

Yup.

Good. Dinner`s almost ready. (SYDNEY CHUCKLES)

SYDNEY: Here`s your tea, and here.

Here`s some more of my special.

JASMlNE: Wow... DR. JOE: But wait until you see the backyard.

Oh, a pool?

You know something else? It`s in this amazing neighborhood, Jasmine.

I mean, right at the end of a cul de sac. Just... Mmm.

I mean, seriously, I kept waiting for some kid to ride by

with E.T. in his bike basket. (BOTH LAUGH)

And you know something else? What?

It would be a great place for a kid to grow up.

Move in with me, Jasmine.

I shocked you. You`re shocked.

Your eyes are big,

and you`re shocked.

Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

Listen, I know it`s fast, okay? I do. But...

I don`t care.

This is something that l`ve been thinking about a lot.

Every time I go look at a house, okay, I imagine you in it.

You, me, Jabbar,

and I want you to know that l`m ready for this. I mean, so ready.

In fact, l`ve never been more sure

about being ready for something in my life, babe.

I just need you to say yes.

(CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHlNG) I get it. That`s...

Show me more. That`s Don.

He`s the one who`s getting married.

Great. So you`ll meet Don.

Don. Got it. Where are you?

All right, we`ll get to me,

but the purpose of this whole thing is to...

To show you who you`ll be meeting this weekend...

(GASPS)

Oh! Oh!

(CHUCKLlNG)

Oh, God. I knew this was going to happen. Let me see!

Look at your little outfit. Don`t call it a little outfit.

Aw! You look so cute. Look at that...

Man costume. No, I mean, you look very strong.

Very tough. Yeah. It`s manly. It`s intimidating.

A little pale, but... (CHUCKLES) Thanks.

I believed you that time.

I love you.

I love you.

Okay, okay, you can see my picture.

Oh, gosh, it`s one of the worst ever.

It`s on this page. There it is. (GASPS)

Aw...

I picked out that jacket.

The thing is, you look exactly the same.

No, I don`t! Yes, you do.

No, I don`t. And I can see it`s taken you 10 years

just to grow this in that much. (CHUCKLES)

But besides that, you look exactly the same. Wow.

I look like a completely different person.

I don`t know what you`re talking about.

Let me see your superlatives. Best eyes...

I don`t know. (CHUCKLES)

Obviously. Oh, here`s your quote.

``And now before us lie Deserts of vast eternity.``

That is, uh... Sweaty.

That`s, uh, from a... Andrew Marvell poem. I ripped it off.

I like it. (CHUCKLES) Thanks.

Cutest couple... Yeah.

With Kirsten Matai. (PRONOUNClNG DlFFERENTLY) Kirsten. Yeah.

Oh, sorry. Kirsten. No, no. That`s fine.

No, no. (CHUCKLES) No, no, that`s fine.

Let`s see her. Uh...

Okay. Let`s see.

There she is.

Hmm. Yeah.

So, anyway, that`s Kirsten.

It`s a shame about her face. It`s quite... Yeah.

It`s not pretty, and it`s not gorgeous. (CHUCKLES)

Well, you`re right. Not as pretty as you. Definitely.

How long were you guys... It was a long one, right?

Uh, it was six years. Yeah.

Six years? Yeah.

I thought it was just high school. No, no.

Oh. Junior senior, and then, all through college,

and then... That was enough.

No. (CHUCKLES)

Um, yeah, no she was like my only serious girlfriend, um, until you.

And then, you guys will get a chance to meet this weekend.

Won`t that be so much fun? And not awkward at all?

No, it will be. I`m excited to meet her.

It`s not one of those things that you...

You utilizing sarcasm again?

No. I`m excited to meet her. You are?

Yeah. Oh, okay.

Why don`t you show me some wrestling moves so I can pin her

when I see her? (LAUGHS)

Want some? All right. Let`s see.

Oh, pin me! (LAUGHlNG)

(BOTH LAUGHlNG)

(PLAYlNG CLASSlCAL MUSlC)

Okay, I`m going to spice this up.

Make a little psychedelic version. Should I be frightened?

You`re going to like it. Okay.

Hey, I want to talk to you about this Dawes thing.

What Dawes thing?

Well, I was online, and I read a bunch of interviews.

These guys were inspired by a lot of the folk...

Apparently my brother wants to have a conversation.

Hey Lily! Just bear with us.

Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young,

and I think they would love the vibe here at the Luncheonette.

Uh, of course they would. Let`s invite them here.

Everyone would love the vibe. We have a great studio.

Well, let`s get them in here. Let`s make it happen.

I don`t know them, know them.

I`ve only met them a couple of times.

Well, that`s enough of a relationship to reach out.

Okay. Crosby, the initial buzz in this place

is going to wear off, and then where are we going to be?

We got to be proactive. We got to get new clients in here.

Well, l`m with a client right now.

I can see that. Yeah.

Well, is she even paying for the time?

Yes. In a sense, she is paying for the time.

Yeah, ``ln a sense`` doesn`t pay the bills, all right? I want you to reach out.

Okay? Mmm-hmm.

Great. Thanks, Coach.

Are you ready?

I don`t know if l`ll ever be ready.

Let`s do it.

(PLAYlNG DlSTORTED CELLO MUSlC)

(CHUCKLES)

Stop. Shut it down.

It`s music from the future.

You did such a great job at the fundraiser,

I, uh...

I figured you would be the perfect person for this...

Uh, kind of insane project.

Okay.

Yeah, basically, I take notes

on conversations l`ve had with people.

Oh. Yeah.

What we`ve talked about, what`s important to them...

You know, anything that`s kind of relevant.

This is kind of creepy to you, but I meet so many people...

(CHUCKLES) ...that it`s kind of become a necessity.

Now, l`m like, completely overwhelmed. Yeah.

I could use some focus or somebody to transcribe it, or something like that.

Yeah, sure. Um, I can do that.

I could also, like, load them onto your phone or something.

That would be great. Yeah?

If you could read my chicken scratch handwriting.

Let`s see. Go to the races.

Um, James Stodder, head of the Zone Five Neighborhood Council,

thinks the Giants are underrated this season...

Right. ...especially Pablo Sandoval.

Now, while you might think this is irrelevant,

you know, people, they like to be remembered.

Next time I see...

James Stodder, I will let him know that he was right about Sandoval.

AKA Panda. Panda.

I`ll put that in. You got it. Yes, thank you.

Is this like politician skeevy or...

No, I mean it is, but just enough. (CHUCKLES)

Actually I was just worrying about

what stupid thing I said that`s going to make it on my Post-it.

No, no, Amber, you`re not in here because

these are people that l`d otherwise forget.

You`re not in that category.

(PHONE RlNGlNG)

Oh, that`s me. First one.

Right. Here we go. Good luck.

(EXHALES)

Bob Little`s office. This is Amber speaking.

(WHlSPERlNG) Nice.

Uh, let me check if he`s available. Please hold.

I don`t know how to tell you this, but it`s your mom.

Well, this is totally embarrassing.

I`m going to give you some privacy. No. Please do not.

She`s just calling, l`m sure, to nag me for something.

If I make a... (CHOKlNG)

It will be a very important meeting. Yes.

You got it.

Mom, how you doing?

You know, I have not called Grandma,

but I can assure you that I will be doing it before the end of the day.

Okay, here you are. Thank you.

Okay.

What did you want to talk to me about?

Uh, Joe asked me to move in with him.

That`s, uh, that`s pretty big.

Yeah.

Uh, what about Jabbar?

Obviously, that`s something you and I need to discuss.

Are you asking my permission, or...

No. No, just...

Opening it up for discussion.

Well, that`s a...

That`s a lot of change, and you know we have

moved him around a whole lot the last year.

In my opinion, l...

You know, I don`t know.

Yeah, l...

I hear you.

But the house is in the Berkeley Hills,

so he`d still be close to his friends, and to school,

and the house is actually right up the street from that great park, you know...

So, you already found a house.

Why are we even having this conversation?

Well, I didn`t find the house, Joe found the house.

And I haven`t said yes, yet.

He`s been looking to buy for a while.

And whether or not l`m included in this house

is still up for discussion, that`s why l`m here

because I didn`t want to make a decision without talking to you first.

Well, you know, you could have started by saying, ``We found a house.``

Because you did find a house, right? You guys...

Crosby, l`m just trying to have an adult conversation here about this.

Okay. Okay. That`s all.

Look. It`s fine.

I know this is a lot to process, so, take some time,

think about it, l`ll do the same.

And we`ll come back together in a couple of days, and talk about it.

Okay? Okay.

(SlGHS)

So is it, uh...

Is it nice? The house?

It`s, um...

It`s nice.

You`re not Zoe.

Gus. What can I get you?

Where`s Zoe?

You mean the girl that had the job before me?

No idea.

All I know is l`m your regular coffee guy now,

so, do you want anything?

No. No. Thank you.

(ROCK MUSlC PLAYlNG ON HEADPHONES) (CHUCKLES)

(GASPS) Hey!

Oh, my God!

You scared the pants off of me. I am sorry.

I didn`t even know you were still here.

Well, you know, when it`s quiet and late at night,

it seems like it`s the only time I can ever get any work done.

My heart... (CHUCKLES) I didn`t mean to scare you.

What was so funny?

Just all of these notes. Yeah?

I mean, they`re really funny. (CHUCKLES)

It`s amazing. I feel like I can see the world

through your eyes. Mmm.

Like this...

But this guy, look afraid of Jacuzzis.

I mean what... What is there to be afraid of?

Getting overly relaxed, I mean?

There`s a lot of chlorine in those sorts of things.

Oh, yes, germs. I don`t even remember meeting that guy.

What? How could you forget about Jacuzzi guy?

Yeah. Well, you know, they all kind of

blend together. Like in a Jacuzzi. (LAUGHS)

Well, ifyou don`t remember Jacuzzi guy

there is absolutely no way you remember meeting me.

(CHUCKLES) Oh...

I remember meeting you.

It was right over there by the copy machine.

It was a Thursday morning. It was your first day.

I think you were wearing something

a bit more professional than you are now. (CHUCKLES)

You were giving me a pretty hard time

about trying to get in a few quick copies

in between your major copying session.

Mmm-hmm.

See?

(CLlCKS TONGUE) No notes. Mmm-hmm.

For you. Oh.

I think I also remember talking a lot

because I get a little chatty when I get nervous.

Why were you nervous?

(SlGHS) Because...

I get nervous around you.

And I just feel the need to keep talking and talking, and...

Well, mystery solved.

Yeah, I mean, at least, she left a note.

(SlGHS) Yeah, such economy with words.

You want to talk about this? No. There`s nothing to talk about.

She moved out.

We have our room back.

Nice to have the space.

Hon.

Yeah.

It`s going to be okay. No, it`s not going to be okay.

(SHUDDERlNG)

Joel, she moved out, she quit her job.

Why would she do that?

I don`t know. Maybe she just needed

some separation, you know? No.

Maybe she needed to make peace with this decision.

She wants to keep the baby. She`s freaking out.

(BREATHlNG HEAVlLY)

It`s okay. (SOBBlNG)

It turns out that Dawes is checking into the Chamberlain Hotel.

Dawes is checking... How do you know

that Dawes is checking into the Chamberlain Hotel?

A fan tweeted about it.

Listen, that`s pretty creepy.

Yeah, well, it`s good intel for us. Just listen to me, okay?

Okay. You told me that you`re not comfortable calling them,

but I figure you`re probably comfortable enough for us to stage a random bump-in

at the hip bar there at the Chamberlain. What do you say?

And the... And you`re joking. This is a joke?

Why, do you have a better idea?

We got to keep business moving here. Yeah.

Respect their privacy.

That`s a good start for a working relationship.

This is just about doing business. That`s all this is.

This isn`t... I don`t want to do business like this.

You know what the problem is? You don`t have any business experience.

Yeah, I did not go to Wharton, okay?

But l`ve played Monopoly,

and I don`t remember a square on the board that says,

``Stalk future clients,`` or ``Screw over ex-bosses.``

Monopoly is a game. This is real business.

We are going after a client, okay?

It is sink or swim time for us,

and I am tossing and turning over this stuff every night.

I`ve got a daughter who`s going away to college,

I`ve got a son with special needs, l`ve got a baby.

I got to keep this business going and make money.

This place isn`t going to succeed on its own, Crosby, okay?

We have to make it succeed.

You get that?

You got to man up. Yeah.

You`re a co-owner of this business. Start acting like it.

Hey, hi. Good morning. How are you? Hey, sunshine.

I`m just going to jump right into work here. How you doing?

Good? Fine.

Yeah, just fine, you know?

Yeah? I heard your first day went wonderfully well.

Bob said that you did some amazing things for him,

so l`m really happy to hear that.

I was a little bit uneasy at first, but I think it`s going to work out great.

Great. Yeah.

BOB: Morning Kristina. Good morning, how are you?

Amber. Hi.

Doing okay?

AMBER: Great.

Smells good. So, you need anything? Are you good?

I should be just fine. Okay.

Keep up the good work.

All right.

(SlGHS)

What about this?

Let`s see.

Huh? Like the red? Turn around. Turn around. Turn around.

I never wear red. It`s cute.

Yeah? Oh, yeah. What is it, lace?

Yeah. That works for an engagement party.

No, no, this isn`t for the engagement party.

This would be for drinks. Oh.

For drinks tonight. You know what? It`s too much.

It makes me hot. I don`t like it.

(CHUCKLES) For drinks? What`s the big deal?

Because, Mom, l`m meeting his friends for the first time.

So? Well, it`s a big deal.

I just, you know, I want to look nice.

You`re great the way you are. Just be yourself.

(SlGHS) Mom, l`m not great the way I am.

All I do is just wear black, and it`s not, you know...

Be yourself. You`re a beautiful woman. You always look beautiful.

Mark loves you the way you are.

They`re going to love you that way, too.

Such a big deal out of it.

Mom, it is a big deal. This is...

What? Serious relationship.

Are you guys talking about getting married?

We`re talking about lots of things.

What other things?

You know...

No, I don`t know. What?

Are you guys talking about having a baby?

(SlGHS)

Yeah.

Really?

Wow.

(PEOPLE LAUGHlNG)

See? It`s a Hawaiian theme, but disco balls as well.

Uh-huh-huh-huh.

(EXHALES)

Where are they? JUSTlN: Look at this guy!

Mark the Shark from Manwell Park! (LAUGHTER)

WOMAN: Come over. This is Sarah.

Hi. CROWD: Hi, Sarah.

How are you? JUSTlN: Wow.

Sorry. This is Tai,

Nikki... Nice to meet you.

Justin. Hi.

Justin? Wow, what a grip. (ALL LAUGH)

Mitch and Kirsten.

Oh, hi. KlRSTEN: Hey.

Hi. Kirsten.

Oh, l`ve heard so much about you. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too. MARK: Hi, everybody.

All right. (CHUCKLES)

Look at you, bud.

Nice sweater, buddy. Who picked that one out?

Sorry we`re a little late.

Don`t you love this place?

(ALL TALKlNG)

All right, Sarah, get comfortable

because we`re going to tell you some great shark tales.

(ALL LAUGHlNG)

I`m sure. NlKKl: No. Don`t worry. Mark was like the sweetest.

I should have told you, l`m Mark the Shark.

Least rebellious guy ever. Justin`s got nothing.

(ALL TALKlNG)

It`s good to see you.

Thank you so much for the Christmas card, by the way.

Oh, yeah. It looks amazing,

I can`t believe you finally did it.

It was life-changing.

Oakland. I grew up here. I can`t even imagine...

What was life changing?

Kirsten... Sorry. Kirsten spent all year

training to hike Mount Kilimanjaro.

Just the... That`s what you... For a year? That`s amazing.

Yeah. It was incredible, 19,3$1 feet.

Wow. So...

That`s very, very tall. Yeah. You guys should try it some time.

I mean it was just unbelievable.

I`ve been meaning to try it. MARK: We`ll train for a year, and then we`ll...

(LAUGHS) No, but what about you?

Are you still going to do Machu Picchu?

Yes. One day. SARAH: What is it?

Uh, Machu Picchu.

One day, I will do it, but as far as now,

I still have a bunch of student loans, and things like that, so...

Yeah. I hear you. Not yet. But one day.

You know, you`re the only person I know

who`s actually doing what they set out to do.

Yes. Did Mark tell you

he`s wanted to be a teacher ever since kindergarten?

NlKKl: That`s right. No.

I mean, who knows what they want to do in their life in kindergarten?

Mark does. Ah, yeah.

(CHUCKLES) Because l`m a boring guy.

You`re not boring. You`re not boring.

So...

(BOTH LAUGHlNG)

How did you two meet?

I mean, you would have to consider it a little bit of a scandal.

Yeah, it was. NlKKl: No way.

(ALL MURMUR lN DlSBELlEF)

It was at the time, well, Mark was

my daughter`s teacher in her sophomore year.

Oh. And now, she`s graduated high school.

And, um, my son is a junior.

Two kids. I have two kids.

I teach his girlfriend. That`s so great. You have kids.

Yeah. It`s great.

It can be great. My older sister just had a baby.

SARAH: What? My older sister just had a baby.

Oh, really? MARK: Congratulations.

So, what did she have?

She had a girl. JUSTlN: Aw!

I guess you get one or the other.

(ALL LAUGHlNG)

50-50 chance, right? Do you ever see Dave at all, anymore?

(CONVERSlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY)

(CHUCKLlNG)

What do you have going on

on that phone? (LAUGHlNG)

I`m sorry. I`m texting with Justin,

and he`s stupid,

but he says he likes you a lot. Oh.

Mmm-hmm.

Did I get good reviews from last night?

You passed... Well, like there was any doubt.

They were nice.

They are nice.

Very good folks.

It`s so funny all the things that I don`t know.

Like what?

Like you`ve always wanted to climb Machu Picchu.

Oh.

Yeah, that was just something I said once in high school.

We were studying the lncas, and I just thought it would be cool to see those ruins.

It would. What else is on your list?

Mmm...

Lots of things. There`s a lot of things I want to see.

I always wanted to go to Morocco.

I read somewhere that Jack Kerouac

always wrote at the same bar in Morocco.

I thought I want to go there, sit and write,

see what that feels like.

And did you go?

(SlGHS)

No. Besides...

Going to Mexico once on spring break, I haven`t really...

Been anywhere.

Well, then it sounds like we have some traveling to do.

(CELL PHONE BUZZlNG)

(LAUGHlNG) Oh, my...

God, Justin is an idiot.

Oh, also, Bob asked me to give you some notes on your draft of his speech.

Is that weird for you?

No. It`s not weird. You`re working for him now, so...

Don`t be mad. (CHUCKLES)

Wow!

Uh... Hey...

That`s weird. Who knows?

Somebody got some flowers. Yeah. Who cares? Whatever.

Who are they from? I don`t know.

Well, why don`t you open the card? It`s one of those weirdos.

I`ll do it later. I`m going to go through these notes first.

I`m opening it. No, no, no. Kristina, please, no.

I never get flowers. Please. Please, I don`t...

Wow!

They`re from Bob.

I`m just kidding. They`re from your Mom. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

She`s so proud ofyou. That was funny.

I know. I am funny.

Here, let me take your photo

so I can send it to her because sometimes when you hire a florist,

you never know what you`re going to get.

Ready? Come closer.

Say cheese. Cheese.

(BUZZlNG)

Zoe, hi. Hey.

Where are you? Are you all right?

Look, I`m really sorry I fell off the grid.

I`ve just been dealing with some stuff, and, um...

I was having some pain, so I went to the doctor.

Well, what happened? Is everything okay?

I have something called an incompetent cervix. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

Pretty great, right?

Even my cervix is incompetent.

He put me on bed rest, so, uh...

I had to quit myjob, and now I`m just trying to figure everything out, so...

Is there anything I can do to help?

No. No, I can... I got it.

I just have to apply for disability, and do all the paperwork, and...

Yeah, I can help you with that. No, it`s okay.

I can handle it.

Okay. Anyway, I`m going to go.

I should go. Well, Zoe, Zoe. Um, just...

Why did you decide to move out? Um...

I mean, you`re eight months pregnant, and...

You know, it can`t be easy to deal with roommates and rent...

Actually, my roommates are really great, and,

I`m going to pay my rent with my disability, so, you know,

just going to start taking care of myself for a change.

All right. Well... But, I`ll see you around.

Zoe. Zoe, just... I got to go.

How does it feel? Tell me everything.

AMBER: It`s just a promotion, Mom.

No, it`s not. (GRUNTS) Did you get the flowers?

They`re very nice. I`m looking at them right now.

You didn`t have to do that, Mom.

Come on, Kristina said she`d never seen

anybody get promoted that fast.

I`m so... I`m so impressed.

Mom, it`s honestly not a big deal, okay?

It was just lucky.

Honey, you`re special. Take that in.

Okay?

(SlGHS)

Honey?

Amber.

(SlGHS) Yeah, hi. Sorry. I`m just...

I`m just right in the middle of something right now. Can I call you back?

I totally understand. Please memo me later.

I love you.

I love you, too! Yay!

Amber, congrats on the new position.

Thanks. Bob wants to see you in his office.

Oh. Um...

You know, I was actually just leaving.

Um, l`m feeling really sick, so could you just

tell him that I had to go home?

Yeah. Okay.

You see them? Mmm-mmm.

Why don`t you take it easy?

Adam, l`m loosening up. Can I get another one of these?

Yeah, sure thing. Thank you so much.

Scotch.

CROSBY: Oh, show time.

All right, listen, I know you don`t want to do this for us, so, thank you.

Okay.

Go get them.

Oh, hey. Hey, man.

Taylor, right? Yeah. Crosby, right? Yeah.

Hey, Griffin. Yeah.

This is Tay and Wylie.

Hey, guys, how`s it going? Nice to meet you.

I`m a huge fan. Thanks.

Your band is great.

Um, what are you guys doing here?

GRlFFlN: Just checking out the scene.

You`re with Bay View Recording Studios, right?

Oh, God, no. I left a few months ago.

Yeah. Not a good place?

Well, uh, you know, it wasn`t for me.

It was not a good fit. It`s pretty corporate over there.

They, you know, they weren`t great with the bands.

All about the bottom line.

I didn`t love it, so I started my own place, actually...

Why? What`s... We`re actually considering recording there.

Oh, okay.

Well, that`s awkward. Dude, I take it back.

Well, what`s the deal over there?

Because we`re, like, minutes away from signing the dotted line.

GRlFFlN: Yeah, we checked it out yesterday.

We met with an engineer named, Brent.

Is he good? Uh, um...

Brent. He`s, uh, you know...

Um...

He`s a really good engineer.

He`s, you know, a good friend of mine.

He`ll do a great job, I think.

Well, good luck with it. I`m going to get back to my brother.

All right. Great seeing you guys.

Yeah, man. What the hell was that all about?

Hey, how`d it go? I can`t do it. I can`t do it.

Hey. They met Brent, and they like him and...

It`s okay. Let`s get the check. Let`s get out of here, all right?

Thank you for doing that. Excuse me.

TAYLOR: Hey, guys.

Hey, I don`t mean to bug you guys, um,

but it seemed like maybe there was something you weren`t saying back there,

which I respect, not talking trash about another studio.

But this album`s really important to us.

We were wondering if we could maybe buy you a drink.

Uh...

Hey. How you doing? I`m Adam. Taylor.

Crosby`s business partner. You know, l`m a big fan, guys.

Thank you. Yeah, we got time for a quick one.

We`re just going to close out this check and... Cool.

Grab a table. All right? All right.

(GULPS)

(KNOCKlNG)

Hey. Hey.

I heard you weren`t feeling well,

so I thought l`d bring some soup.

(SlGHS)

I don`t know if I can...

Do this and work for you.

I don`t know.

You know, my aunt gave me this incredible opportunity,

and I have to be careful. Amber...

Also, I have to ask you,

did you give me this job because you thought I would be good at it?

Or because you want to sleep with me?

You are smart, and you are funny, and you think for yourself.

That`s why I gave you the job, Amber.

And to be honest, that`s...

That`s why I kissed you.

You are tough, but you have this

vulnerability about you that is just incredible.

So I hope you will come back to work

and not walk away from this.

Try the soup. (CHUCKLES)

Hey. Hey.

You did it.

Uh-oh.

(STRAlNlNG) You made it.

Wait, wait, wait. Did you take a cab?

No, don`t get up. Here.

Oh, yes, please.

Much better? Oh, I like this.

Yeah, I take it tonight didn`t go so well.

No, we did a good... We, uh, got Dawes to...

Ah. Victory is ours.

Did you take the BART here?

Hey, l`m sorry you had to do something that made you feel uncomfortable.

Mmm.

It`s okay. It`s just part of being an adult.

You know, you have to do things that you don`t want to do.

Like horrible things.

Like drink Scotch.

You know, when you`re an adult,

you have to drink Scotch, and it sucks.

It sucks. (CHUCKLES)

And so does selling your friends out.

That sucks. Mmm.

Or pretending you don`t care

your ex-fiancee`s moving in with her boyfriend sucks.

It all sucks, Lily.

Jasmine`s moving in with Joe?

Yeah. It`s not going to last, I think.

So, original Joe T bought her a house.

I mean, I hope he bought insurance because

I bought her a house before,

and she still broke my heart.

So, good luck, Joe.

You`re really nice, Lily.

Since I saw you this morning, l`ve been reading up on Kerouac because l, um...

You told me he spent some time in Morocco,

and embarrassingly enough, as an English teacher, I did not know that.

But then, I found out that William S. Burroughs lived in Morocco, too.

Did you know that?

I did.

We should do that.

Just leave the country for a year, be an ex-pat for a while.

We could go to Morocco and rent a cheap little apartment,

and you can work on your writing,

I could, uh, I don`t know...

Can you pull the car over?

Can you pull over? Yeah. Are you okay?

(GASPS)

Sarah! (EXHALES)

What`s going on?

You... You`re making me nervous.

I`m $0.

(STAMMERlNG) I know.

I`m afraid ifwe wait, it will be too late.

If we want a baby, we have to do it now.

And...

I don`t want to put that pressure on you.

I don`t want to feel like l`m wrecking your dreams.

You`re not... You should go to Morocco

if you want to go. I don`t...

I don`t need to go to Morocco. I just was...

I`m... I`m ready.

I don`t need to do any of that other stuff. I love you.

(SOBS)

And if we have to have a baby now, then...

Let`s do it.

Okay?

I mean, not right now.

Hi. Good morning, Amber.

How are you?

I`m good.

Good enough to dive right back in?

Absolutely.

(SPEAKlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY)

Thought you were supposed to be on bed rest.

(SlGHS)

Yeah, well, my assistant took the day off.

What are you going to do, right? Oh, I got it. That`s fine.

No, no, it`s not right.

(SlGHS)

So I guess Julia told you about the incompetent cervix thing.

But seriously, l`m fine.

You know, so thanks for stopping by and...

Look, l...

Julia doesn`t know l`m here.

But there`s a question I got to ask you,

and my wife`s too scared to. But l`m too scared not to.

Okay.

Are you changing your mind about the baby?

No. No?

No. Are you sure? Just be honest.

It`s going to be hard, but if...

I mean, if we go much further into this, my wife is just going to...

(SlGHS) lt`s going to tear her apart, Zoe.

Okay, well, l`m not changing my mind, so...

Okay, then what is it? What is it?

Why`d you move out?

Because I need my own space.

This is why I wanted a closed adoption in the first place,

and I told her that. I need my own space.

I need to be separate.

The baby`s going to come, and then what?

I understand.

Do you? So, you`re okay?

I`m fine.

Here, just... Here`s some... Here`s 30 bucks.

I don`t need your money, okay?

Just take it, anyway, would you?

(SlGHS)

It`s going to be fine.

I promise.

Daddy!

Hey!

How are you, little man? Good.

Hey, little man`s mom. How are you?

Good. Mind if I come in for a minute?

Yeah. You don`t have to ask. Come on in.

Sweetie, can you go play, so I can talk to your dad?

Okay, Mommy.

The house looks good.

Thank you. I finally got around to decorating it.

Or rather, my mom decorated it. Same difference.

I can`t take credit for the throw pillows.

Those are nice. Mmm.

Pottery Barn?

(CLlCKS TONGUE) You know, l`m not sure.

Hmm.

Is that what you came over to talk about? The Pottery Barn?

No. (CHUCKLES) What`s up?

I want to move in with him.

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah. Okay.

Anything else? (CHUCKLES)

Um...

Congratulations. (SlGHS) That`s not what I mean.

Look, you know how I feel about yanking Jabbar around.

So, if you`re saying it`s serious, I trust you.

Uh, we still have some work left to do.

There`s a 30 day escrow, so I was thinking about holding off on telling him

until we`re closer to the move-in date. Mmm-hmm.

You know how hard it is for him to

process things until they`re happening.

Right. That`s a good idea.

Okay.

All right. Okay.

Well, thanks for, uh...

Being mature about this.

You`re wel... Ooh!

I have something for you. Hold on one second.

It`s a doorknob?

Yeah, but, um,

these are the ends of a ballet bar that I found.

I made it for you when I was re-doing the house,

but I never got around to putting it on the door.

So, if you like it...

I love it.

Well, think of it as a housewarming gift.
