I'm so proud. | really am. Thank you.

LORETTA: His mother's been incarcerated.

She's released the rights of her child to keep him out of the foster system.

LORETTA: This is Victor.

Hi.

Sarah Braverman,

will you marry me?

Lyla Hershfeld.

(SIGHS)

Mom, you are not seriously comparing my relationship with Mark to Lyla Hershfeld.

Crosby swore she was the one.

And they broke up two weeks later.

Yet there she is for all eternity in our family picture.

Mom... (SIGHS)

They were 24. She wore a crop top.

Anyone could have seen that coming.

Mark and | are engaged.

ZEEK: Uh-huh, yeah. Where's the ring?

We're working on it. Yeah.

You guys, be careful.

Drew... Amy likes you just the way you are.

DREW: Mom, please.

Sarah, would you not distract him?

He's starting to bulk up for Amy's homecoming, all right?

So how's the job hunt coming?

Great, Dad, great.

Really? No, Dad.

I'm trying to transition out of bartending.

It's rough out there. Five more.

Mom, please.

Family only, that's the policy.

You can thank your brother Crosby for that.

Brought a creamer, sweetie.

Hey.

(MAN TALKING INDISTINCTLY ON TV)

Hey, honey, | made brunch.

| made French toast and bacon.

It's well-done, the way you like it.

You remember that | said |! was gonna make brunch?

Yeah, I'm good with this, Julia.

Hey, your mom has spent a lot of time putting this stuff together.

(WHISPERING) It's fine.

Um, sweetie.

(SCREAMING ON TV)

Victor, | would really appreciate it if you didn't...

When you're done watching the show,

if you didn't watch it when Sydney's around, okay?

Yeah, cool.

How come he gets to watch TV?

Syd!

Well, it's not fair. Come here.

And how come he gets to eat in front of the TV, too?

JULIA: Sydney, it's brunch. Come here.

Syd, Syd.

Come on.

| don't wanna go all the way to Burger and Pie.

ADAM: What are you talking about?

Burger and Pie is our place. We love Burger and Pie.

When | was eight years old. ADAM: Yeah, honey.

Do you remember that time she leaned over the backseat

and was, like, "Il Know! Let's go to Burger and Pie."

| was eight and | don't care.

| have to spend time with my friends. This is the last week.

BOTH: Let's all go Stop!

BOTH: ...fo Burger and Pie Stop!

It's the last week before | leave.

Exactly, it's time to spend with family.

Honey, look, | know that there's a lot to do,

which, | was thinking, we should meet before Burger and Pie,

get your winter coat... Just listen.

No. That's a great idea, honey.

Get it out of the way. | can't. | don't need a coat.

Do you know how cold itis there?

Every other day, I'm with the grandparents or with the aunts or some...

Or it's a dumb photo shoot. | need time on my own.

It's not a dumb photo shoot.

With my friends. Okay? It's really not.

All of your grandparents, everybody wants to see you.

Your aunts and uncles, okay? It's fine.

Everyone's getting together for you.

And | also think that you should schedule some time for Max.

| thought that's what Burger and Pie was.

No, Burger and Pie is family time.

| want you and Max to have a little time together.

Okay, I'll do it.

You have no idea, those East Coast winters are brutal.

Ugh.

Maybe that's the reason that everyone at Cornell kills themselves.

Wind whips in your face. Oh, my God.

That's not true, Max. Yeah, it is, Dad.

No, it's not. Yes, itis.

| saw it online. It's a rumor.

People there jump off bridges every winter.

Hey, can we stop?

Your sister's not gonna jump off a bridge.

HADDIE: I'll jump off a bridge if | stay here.

You need a coat. That doesn't make any sense.

Exactly. Exactly.

All | want is someone

Someone ! can hold on

Someone ! can count on

Someone to dance with me

All | want is someone

Someone ! can hold on

Someone ! can count on

Someone to dance with me

Sorry to interrupt the jam. (LAUGHS)

But | have lunch options.

Oh, look who it is, my favorite item on the Luncheonette menu.

Yes? Is me? |am? You.

NICK: Yes. AMBER: Gosh!

It's not Crosby? | mean, he's pretty tasty.

Yeah, Crosby's pretty tasty, but yeah.

| think you got him beat. Thank you.

All right. Let's see.

Just make sure you write your name next to it

because otherwise | won't know whose is which.

All right.

Yeah, all right. That looks like a pretty good order.

Yeah? Yeah, see if you approve.

Very good choice. (LAUGHS)

Thank you.

For you?

Hello.

I'm here to leave a deposit for the Braverman family portrait.

You can put it on the table. Thank you.

Over here, on this? Yeah.

You won't forget, though, right?

My mother doesn't trust me with this. Yeah.

It's such a big group to get together.

It's, like, 17 or 18 of us.

In fact, can | ask your opinion actually, as the family portrait guy?

Do fiancés normally get included in the family portrait?

| don't really care.

17 or 18... | don't charge by the head, so it's totally up to you.

Okay. Okay.

All right. Thanks.

Help wanted, huh?

Yeah. Is that for real?

| mean, it's just so retro, you know,

now with the Internet. Yeah. Yeah.

| mean, did you put it up and forget it was there?

It's real. | have it on the Internet also.

You never know when a genius is gonna walk by.

Uh, speaking of which, 1, um...

I'm actually looking for a job.

What's the job? Do you have experience?

| do. ‘Cause | need someone

with photography experience only, So...

Yeah, of course. My experience is from a while ago.

| worked in graphics and, uh, you know, mostly on actual film photography.

The whole digital thing, not so much.

Well, can you set up a shoot?

Change a lens, load a memory card, adjust the lights?

Yeah, | can.

You worked in film?

Yeah, uh, film mainly. That's a plus.

That's, uh... | like film.

Hmm.

Mmm...

All right.

All right? | can interview for the job?

I'll see you tomorrow at 2:30.

You have a job tomorrow?

Mmm-hmm. That's amazing.

Oh, my God. What's the pay?

|! mean, should we discuss the...

Let's see how you do tomorrow.

Oh, okay. It's a trial period. | respect that.

| understand that. Thank you so much.

I'm Sarah, by the way. Hank.

Hank, this is amazing!

This is, like, meant to be.

Don't you think? Oh, we shall see.

Should | take the sign down? No, leave it.

All right. | have a good feeling about this.

Thanks, Hank. See you tomorrow.

2:30, yeah.

All right, now this is Guacamole. He was my first lizard.

And as you can see, he's still alive.

Can | hold him? No, it's too risky.

You don't know anything about him.

And | really don't know much about you.

Sydney and Jabbar are different.

| let them hold him sometimes. Like, | can trust them.

They've been around longer.

| mean, technically you're my cousin,

but you're adopted, so it's different.

| mean, you're not really even part of the family yet.

Let's put him back.

Now let us see my guinea pig Rupert.

Okay, Max.

| just can't believe that he hired you

and expects you to go on a photo shoot tomorrow with no experience.

Well... That's crazy.

He doesn't exactly know | have no experience.

You lied?

You've never lied in a job interview?

Of course you haven't. God, | don't know.

Anyway, he's a very weird, grumpy guy.

Who knows if it'll even work out?

Well, |, um... | look forward to meeting him at the big family portrait.

(CHOKING)

(COUGHING) (LAUGHS)

What, are you choking on that awkward segue?

Yeah. (LAUGHS)

| pride myself on my awkward segues.

Um, did you, um... Did you talk to your mom about it?

Of course. Okay.

Look, it was an old girlfriend of Crosby's who wrecked it for all of us.

My mother will not change her mind. | tried.

Okay. It's just a weird policy.

| mean...just makes me feel like I'm not a part of your guys’ family...

Oh, my God. ...even though we're engaged

and... You're part of the family.

It's a dumb rule.

You'll be in the picture next year.

Okay.

Did you fight for me?

Oh, honey, | didn't realize it was So important.

I... | mean, | kind of didn't want to get into a whole thing with her, so...

Oh, okay. I'm sorry.

So Kristina wasn't even in the picture until they were...

No. Okay, okay, okay.

Goodnight, Grandma. Oh, | love you, sweetie.

| love you, too. Give me a kiss.

Brush your teeth.

Okay.

CROSBY: I'll take this one.

| could eat him with a spoon.

Mmm-hmm, he's yummy.

Yeah, and spiritual.

He is.

And... And... And prayerful.

Mom, we noticed that Jabbar has been praying.

Oh, that's wonderful.

It is. It is.

Yeah. We were just a little bit curious.

He told us that you explained

God and heaven and praying to him.

Yes, and?

And we want him to know about religion.

Absolutely, he must.

Hmm. Well, must he?

| mean, other than its historical context.

Crosby.

Well, | guess what I'm getting at is,

you know, when you had your children,

| can't imagine you would have been thrilled

with your mother just bestowing all of her religious ideals

onto your children.

And we feel like maybe that's more our job as the parents.

JASMINE: Mom, we know it came from a good place.

It's just that, you know, | don't even go to church anymore really, so...

Oh, | definitely know that.

And we may not feel exactly the same as you.

We think that maybe it's better for you to just let us handle

talking to Jabbar about the big questions.

| see.

Great.

Um, just out of curiosity,

what are you planning to say to him?

And what is your belief system?

What's your doctrine?

(WHISPERS) My doctrine.

Don't you think the boy deserves just a little bit of clarity on the subject?

(TAP OPENING) (WATER RUNNING)

(CUTLERY CLATTERING)

NICK: You're awesome.

Shut up.

I'm serious. Shut up.

Here, you said you could play guitar.

Play me something. No, no, no.

No, come on, come on. No, don't.

This is so embarrassing.

No, it's not.

You're a professional musician.

It's gonna sound very bad.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Please, | wanna hear you.

(SIGHS)

Okay, here, you know what?

Actually, | do have a little something...

All right, let's hear this ditty.

So, the... 24-70.

First is... Okay.

Mr. Rizzoli, hi. We spoke on the phone.

I'm Trish. Nice to meet you. Oh, hey.

Thank you so much for doing this on such short notice.

I've heard such amazing things about your work.

Well, let's just hope | don't screw it up too much.

Oh, no, it will be perfect.

But it's just a hard time for my family,

so, thank you. Okay.

(CHUCKLES)

It's not a good time for the family?

Oh, we just lost my father.

Oh, my gosh, you're kidding me.

That's... I'm so sorry. Thank you.

The family's just spread out and we're finally all together,

so we just wanted a picture, you know.

It's a beautiful way to honor him.

TRISH: Thanks.

And if there's anything we can do, if you want us...

Thank you. To stop and take a break or...

Oh, no, no, no more crying.

Of course. Okay.

But thank you for understanding.

KRISTINA: | think it's actually a nice jacket.

HADDIE: And it fits me. It is the right...

It looks good. MAX: Let's just order.

Haddie, you know, if you don't like it, we can exchange it.

Thank you. Thanks for going...

I'm just telling you. It's fine. You did a good job.

You know, | just wanna go back to look for Guacamole.

Why, what happened to Guacamole?

He was stolen. KRISTINA: Nothing happened to Guacamole.

He was not stolen. We don't know that.

ADAM: Well, who would steal Guacamole? MAX: Victor.

ADAM: Why do think that Victor stole Guacamole?

Oh, my goodness. Victor did not steal Guacamole, sweetheart, okay?

Okay, it's because... This is why you need to go shopping.

Mom called us out for a snack.

| said that | liked it, like, five times, Mom.

And he was up there alone with Guacamole.

When | got back up, my lizard was gone.

HADDIE: Mom. Max!

Whoa, hey! Where is that waitress?

I'm starving.

Keep your voice down, okay?

WAITRESS: Hi. ADAM: Hey.

Can | get you guys started with a drink?

MAX: Uh, no, we're ready to order.

And we're starving because you're very slow and your service is terrible.

ADAM: Max, that's not polite.

|! want a Torpedo Burger with no onions and extra, extra, extra bacon.

Just tons of bacon.

I'm so sorry, we don't have the Torpedo Burger anymore.

(BABY CONTINUES CRYING)

No, that's ridiculous. Um...

MAX: What?

Well, a lot of people who liked the Torpedo Burger like the Slim Mickey.

| don't want a Slim Mickey!

KRISTINA: Can you... |! want a Torpedo Burger!

ADAM: Listen to me, we're gonna make a Torpedo Burger.

You have a hot dog bun, right?

MAX: It doesn't make... You know, I'm leaving.

I'm making a... We're not leaving.

Uh-uh, uh-uh. Max, sit down.

Your sister leaves in three days...

Get off of me! ADAM: Hey, hey, hey!

Let's just go then.

You sit down. You're not helping matters at all.

Your sister is leaving in three days. Chill out, okay?

We're here to celebrate her before she leaves forever.

MAX: | don't care. You understand me?

Please turn around. This is not your family, okay?

Guacamole is missing. You stop texting.

I'm not. You aren't even paying...

We're here to celebrate you.

Fill the gap between purple and red and white, there's...

Okay. Squish it up. Squeeze it up.

Okay, between Heather and Trish and Jackie, you mean?

Yeah. Crew cut kid, you gotta smile.

Jack, I'm a funny clown. Okay, good.

Okay, good, good, good. Right here.

Right here. Get out of the way.

Beautiful. (CLICKING)

Okay. Right here, guys. Cute.

You know what? Give me the 7200. Okay.

This is good. This is golden hour. Hurry up.

Golden hour. We only have one hour left.

No, we don't. That's an expression.

We got a couple of minutes. Hurry up.

Right. No, duh.

Duh.

The camera, | need the camera, too!

Right. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

All right, hold on. Stay right there, guys. This is good.

All right. We need to bounce now.

We need bounce. Come on. The round thing?

Yeah, the round thing. Okay, it's coming.

Here you go. Give me the camera.

Okay, you want me to take that?

Give me that. Okay.

All right. We need fill. Fill, fill.

We need fill. George, his name is George.

No, we... Fill, put it there.

Okay. Here it comes, you guys.

What are you... | don't know how it...

Ow! Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

The sun's gone. SARAH: Sorry.

I'm so sorry. (SIGHS) HANK: Yeah.

Thank you, everybody.

Good job, everybody.

He prayed a few times is that so terrible?

Hey, you're the one that said they dragged you to church your whole childhood

and now you don't even believe in it.

Yeah, | don't believe in church.

That's different than believing in God.

Oh, so you believe in God?

Yeah.

It was a big comfort to me when | was a kid.

And it wasn't about God or church.

It was about community. Yeah, | mean...

Yeah, it's a community of people with the same belief.

If you don't have that belief, you're not gonna be a part of that community.

And | don't want my son to be a part of some club that I'm not a member of.

| mean, maybe that's selfish, but...

Maybe a little.

Well, maybe a little. Mmm-hmm.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

(BOTH GROANING)

Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

Here's the lord's soldier right now.

JULIA: His lizard is missing?

Yeah, his lizard is missing. It happens all the time.

It probably just got out of its cage and it's hiding in a laundry basket or something.

| hate to be bothering you with this.

You don't think that Victor...

No, no, no.

It's just when they had the play-date together,

Max said that, you know, after he and Victor were playing, it was missing.

| know that he didn't take it.

Well, | Know how much those lizards mean to Max.

Like | said, it happens all the time.

It's just the play-date together, it's missing. It’s silly.

But... Look, I'm embarrassed to even have called you, so...

No, no. Kristina, it's fine.

| will ask Victor if he knows anything

or if he saw it and I'll let you know.

Okay. Thanks, Jules.

Hi. Can | help you?

Hi. Yeah, I'm looking for Nick.

For Nick?

Yeah, I'm surprising him with these muffins.

It's our half-year anniversary.

Wow!

That's great.

I'm gonna take you right to him.

Come with me. Great.

So muffins, huh? Yeah.

Wow, lucky guy.

Hey, Nick, look who | found.

Chelsea, hi! Happy six-month anniversary!

Yay. Oh, that's right.

What a nice surprise.

Mmm. AMBER: Wow.

Hey, Amber.

Enjoy your muffins.

Would you run up to the hardware store and grab a plunger?

Look, I'll go in a minute. Just...

What's the matter?

Uh-oh.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

What do you mean what am | doing here? We said 10:00, right?

You're fired.

What?

You're fired. You're fired.

It wasn't obvious you were fired yesterday with...

How can | be fired? It was one day.

| mean, look. Okay, it wasn't perfect.

It was my first day. | was nervous. | might have, you know,

exaggerated slightly how much experience | have, but...

No, you have no experience. No, | don't have none.

So, don't even say that.

No, no, no. No, you have nothing.

Don't even... No, no, no. No. Stop it.

Nada, okay? You lied.

| didn't lie completely. Yeah, you blatantly lied.

Uh, no.

And you ruined my best shot.

Oh, no, what, your golden hour?

You got a million shots of that family that were beautiful.

Here's what I'm talking about.

See. What?

You have no respect for light.

| do have respect for light.

It was one shot out of, like, 300 gorgeous shots.

And | mean, what did you expect, you know,

with your elaborate screening process?

Like, you didn't even know my first name.

Why didn't... Why didn't you fire me yesterday?

| needed somebody to help me load the van.

Oh.

Just it's...

This is not the job for you, so you're fired, all right?

Fine.

Can | at least get my...day's pay?

Well, what do you think you earned?

We explored Our Spiritual side back in the ‘60s.

Oh, oh, okay. Yes.

Great. What did you... What did you do?

Um, well, | lived and worked on a commune.

Wow! | did not know that.

And, um, we were Buddhists for a while.

We joined the Buddhist temple.

You were a Buddhist?

What? | can be Zen.

And there was that tantric thing that we did.

Oh, yeah.

Mom, listen. Here's what I'm trying to get at.

You know, what did you...

What did you take away from of all of this experimentation?

Um, well, | think we both realized that we were more invested in this world

and that if God exists at all, he's right here in our family.

You know, in this house.

Okay. But, you know, where do you think we go when we die?

Or, you know, what started life?

How do you answer those questions?

| don't... | don't know.

And even if | did, how would that help you?

Isn't this something that you have to discover for yourself?

Hey, come on. | mean, jeez, we gave you baseball.

Hmm. Thank you for that.

But you know, things happen.

So it's fine if, you know, you happened to take it

and then forget to put it back in the cage.

And it's not a big deal.

JOEL: Yeah, not a problem.

We just need to know. Yeah.

It's fine.

| didn't take his stupid lizard.

Okay, good.

Well, that's all we needed to know.

Great. Okay.

(SIGHS)

Victor, | also just wanted to know

how it's going for you here, overall.

It's fine.

Good. Well, you know, if you need anything,

you know that we're here for you.

Right? Yeah.

All right.

Okay.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Did you know that thousands of family pets are reported missing annually?

And metropolitan zoos have seen arise

in theft attempts of exotic animals.

Max, | don't want to talk about your stolen lizard.

I'm gonna miss you, Max.

A lot, all the time.

I'm gonna miss how you're really honest

and how you always say exactly what you think about things,

and how you always know exactly how you feel about things.

It's a really rare quality.

I'm gonna miss it. Okay.

| got you a present.

Did you?

Ooh, now he's interested.

Yup!

(HADDIE GRUNTS)

It's a weighted blanket. Oh, goodness.

| read about it online.

Um, it's 25 pounds,

and apparently, a lot of people with Asperger's find them comforting.

So... You wanna try it? Sure.

(CHUCKLES)

How's it feel?

Good.

Great.

All right, | will, um, leave you alone.

| love you, Max.

Max, | said | love you.

Yeah. Thanks.

Hey.

Hey.

You waiting up for Haddie again?

No.

No? What are you doing?

I'm reading. Mmm-hmm.

(SIGHS) I'm pathetic.

I'm pathetic.

| don't know why I'm waiting up for her.

She's gonna come home, she's gonna say two words to me,

and she's gonna go upstairs.

Why don't you just come to bed, huh?

| just had the best week planned for us, you know.

We were gonna do so many fun things.

We were gonna go shopping together, and we'd hang out,

and we'd gossip, and...

Just didn't turn out like that at all.

It was like she couldn't fit me into her schedule, So it's, like...

She went to see her friends. You got her a good coat.

| like the coat.

A nice, warm coat. It is a nice warm coat.

It's gonna be cold.

And the whole thing at the Burger and Pie incident.

That whole thing was a fiasco.

Yup. Who takes that off the menu?

| don't know. It's a good burger.

It's a great burger.

| Know.

| don't understand it.

She's never gonna live here again.

No.

No, she'll come home for holidays.

You know what | mean.

Yeah.

You wanna get drunk?

Kill it.

Down the hatch. Dump it down.

(JULIE SCREAMS)

Get off... Guacamole!

Hey, hey, hey.

Today is the big day, huh?

Amy comes back from camp.

Yeah, she actually pushed back the return three days, So...

She did? Yeah.

Again? Yeah.

Huh. Did she say why?

No, it's kind of hard to reach her out there.

|! mean, | don't know.

She seems kind of, like, distant or something.

Well, grandson, I'll tell you something. Here's what | think.

I've seen the way that girl looks at you!

She loves to be around you!

You've got no worries there, as far as | can see.

As you soon you start, you know, bulking up,

putting on some weight, you're gonna be... (CHUCKLES)

Zeek's famous protein drink is sure to bulk you up.

Drink up.

| tell you what, | need 30 more reps from you on the old bicep curls, huh?

Atta boy.

I'm tired of waking up and feeling so lonely

| guess | should've listened when you sat down and told me

So give me one more day

Give me one more night

Today's our day

Let's forget about everyone else

And everything else

Can you believe what a prick this guy is?

Yeah, he's the worst.

Comes in here and seduces Amber.

It turns out he's got a serious girlfriend.

Acts like nothing happened. Real Casanova, right?

Right.

| mean, who pulls crap like that?

Musicians. Yeah, musicians.

Even ones you wouldn't think, like Kenny G and stuff.

You know what? | don't want him recording here anymore.

What? | want him out.

You're serious? Yeah, I'm serious.

You want them out?

|! knew | shouldn't have told you about Amber.

She's 20 years old. She's an adult.

You can't get involved like this.

So what? So, what, are we gonna just sit back

and let somebody take advantage of her

without doing anything about it?

| don't think so. Yes.

You know what? That's it. Hey, guys, excuse me.

| want you... He's a paying customer.

...to pack it up and get out.

What? We're done here.

We are done. You're overreacting.

You Know what... We're done.

You're not touching that thing anymore.

Listen, what are you... Hey.

Adam! Guys, I'm serious.

Unplug it and get out. Why, man?

We don't want you here. Oh, my God.

Okay? Everybody, out.

Adam! You know what you did.

CROSBY: You don't have to listen to him.

How is she gonna learn a lesson if you throw him out?

You don't have a daughter, all right?

Hey, Mark.

Hi.

You know, Sarah's not here.

| Know. | actually... | was wondering if | could talk to you.

Oh. What's up?

Well, Camille...

Sarah and | are engaged, as you know,

and I... | think |

should be in the family portrait with you guys.

Oh, Mark, you're So sweet.

And we all think you're wonderful, we really do.

It's just that, you know,

sometimes life doesn't work out the way we expect it to.

‘Cause | know that | don't have a ring yet, or...

It's not about the ring.

Well, and | know that we haven't set a...

Um, hey, Zeek. Hey, Mark.

| Know we haven't set a wedding date yet,

but Drew is graduating this year

and we didn't want to rush into it until before that.

Well, right. But it is going to happen.

Hello. Hi.

You know, I'm not going anywhere.

I'm in love with her.

And | respect family policy,

but lam a part of your family.

And I'm proud to be a part of your family.

| guess | want you to be proud of it, too.

Max, what are you doing? Max, are you serious?

Max! Max!

Do not touch my stuff.

I'm looking for Guacamole. Stop!

| have to pack this up again.

This is my stuff. Hey, hey. What's going on in here?

I'm trying to find all the possible...

Max is looking for his stupid lizard.

Look at my room.

He lost his lizard, okay. This can be repacked. Just... I'll talk to him.

Oh, great. I'm sure that that's really gonna help.

Don't, it's fine. Hey, Haddie, just take a breath.

I'm packing up. No, it's fine.

Lose the attitude, okay?

You're overreacting. Don't... Stop. Stop. Stop!

I'll clean it when | get back.

Well, where exactly do you think you're going?

Look, your grandparents are throwing a going-away party for you, okay?

Get back here.

This entire party is for you, okay?

You've known about it all week.

You don't just waltz in whenever you want.

This party is not for me.

None of this week has been for me.

| need to get out and have a second of space.

Take a breath. We'll repack all this together, okay?

Fine, don't come at all. Don't show up at all.

Come on, honey. Honey. Great, | won't!

And by the way, | had my bonding time with Max

and it went really great, and we're closer than ever, and he's totally normal.

(BIG BAND MUSIC PLAYING)

(SIGHS)

Hi. Hi.

I'm saying hi, you know, so it's not too awkward.

Um, might be a little late for that.

Can | just get a little bit more, just right on top here.

My hair is fine.

Well...

(CLEARING THROAT)

Boys. Yeah.

Here, I'll take this out for you.

KRISTINA: She better show up.

She better show after we made all these cupcakes.

This party is for her, and everybody came...

Hey, how did you handle the God topic with Amber and Drew?

Which God topic?

Well, we were raised in a spiritual vacuum,

so what did you pass on to your kids?

Oh, Crosby, come on, let it go. Man!

Hey. CYR: Hey.

How did you get in?

| Knocked and | rang, but | didn't think...

JOEL: What is this?

Are you kidding me? What?

KRISTINA: | had to wait eight years to get in the family picture.

Yeah, | had to marry his ass to get in.

She made us wait until our three-year anniversary.

He found a loophole! This is unacceptable.

JASMINE: You guys exaggerate so bad.

Who's that guy?

Aunt Sarah's fiance.

Huh.

What is he, six?

He is 29.

JASMINE: Yeah, that's a little dark, Mark.

You're a little weird.

Yep. | like you.

| don't Know if | like you yet.

(CHUCKLES)

(ALL TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

Hey, can | talk to you for a sec, outside?

Uh, yeah. Okay.

CAMILLE: | don't mind blue.

A rich, full blue. But his is...

A Navy blue.

Yeah. Sorry. | just...

What's up? Go ahead. Uh...

Um, did you tell the band that they couldn't record at the studio anymore?

Yeah.

Look, | didn't think that Nick behaved in an honorable fashion, okay?

Okay, sergeant. | appreciate it.

But we are at a recording studio.

Yep! It's rock and roll.

| understand it... Listen, Amber, it was my decision,

and I'm not gonna stand by and let somebody take advantage of you.

Okay? Okay.

Uh, that's noble, but | wasn't being taken advantage of.

| was a willing participant, very willing, okay.

And I'm sorry, but you can't jump into something like that.

That guy was a jerk!

Regardless if whether he was a jerk, I'm fine.

And you threw away good business for no reason...

It's not about business. Because I'm totally fine.

Well, it should be.

It's gotta be, because I'm your employee now.

And you have to start treating me as an adult, because | am.

(SIGHS)

I'm sorry.

| really am. | can see how that would...

| just... | feel protective. | don't want to see you get hurt.

You understand that?

Uncle Adam...

| understand.

| really do.

But can you please do your best to treat me like anormal employee?

| will try. | am sorry if | embarrassed you.

It's okay.

Well, I'm glad you called this meeting.

Me too. Thank you, sir.

| will see you at work. | will see you there.

All right, show up on time. (LAUGHS)

(BLUES MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey.

What are you doing?

It's too loud in there.

Yeah, they're crazy.

A little bit.

They're kind of irreplaceable, though.

CAMILLE: Ooh, baby. Hil

(ALL CHEERING)

That's my girl.

Hey, Haddie.

| got her, guys. | got her.

(ALL TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

HADDIE: Get in here. She's really late.

AMBER: That's my girl.

ZEEK: Okay, everybody, let's get together and get this photo now.

Honey. Hmm?

That's our baby.

ZEEK: This guy charges by the hour for Pete's sake. Let's go!

It's a good time right now, guys, okay?

Okay. Perfect.

Pretend you're smiling. Let's go right now.

JOEL: We are ready. KRISTINA: Okay.

ADAM: Maxie is good in here?

ADAM: Scoot in here behind the grandparents.

Okay. Let's go right here, guys.

Guys, right here. Why don't we do this?

All right, pretend you like each other.

SARAH: That's good. HANK: Hmm.

Oh, that's beautiful.

Yeah, you're quite a crew.

Yeah.

| can't believe you got everybody.

See, that kid will never look at the damn lens.

Yeah. Hm.

You did pretty good. That's Max.

He has Asperger's.

Oh, yeah? Hmm.

| Knew something was up.

Good kid.

Yeah.

Well, thank you.

God, these are great. | could look at them all day,

but | should get these to the family.

If anyone can possibly agree on one, we'll...

Yeah, let me know. We'll let you know.

Yeah. Thank you. They're really, really, great.

And | appreciate it.

All right. So, thank you.

And you can tell your mom,

you know, if it doesn't work out between you and Junior,

| could just Photoshop him out.

Small minimal cost.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

I'm sure she'll be very happy to hear that.

That's all right. Mmm-hmm.

He's a good guy, right? Where did you meet him?

Is he a Make-a-Wish kid? That's good.

That's funny. Was he trick or treating?

Enjoy yourself.

There's a lot of material there.

Good-bye.

Anyway, look, | was gonna call you.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Um...

Turns out the people at the shoot, they liked you.

They, um, made a big stink about it.

So, it turns out you're good at the schmooze.

And | hate talking to clients. Truly, | hate it.

| get a little sick in my stomach sometimes.

Yeah, so that's why | was gonna call you.

You're not as awful as | originally thought.

I'm sorry, is this

some sort of twisted job offer?

You've gotta learn about photography, too.

Yukking it up with clients, you smile... "Hey, give me a hug."

That's not gonna cut it, | can assure you that.

I... | will learn.

Well, I'll call you...then.

See how it goes.

All right, go. Get the hell out of here.

Thank you s... Thank you.

All right.

Hey. (CHUCKLES)

You're back. Yeah.

| can't believe it. I'm back.

Oh, my God. | missed you so much.

| missed you, too.

| can't believe you're back. Do you wanna go inside or something?

Sure.

Mmm!

Shooting star. Did you see it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, man. Did you make a wish?

Yeah.

All right, well, don't tell me what it was.

Hey, when | saw you praying the other day.

What were you praying about?

Different things.

Different things. What kind of things?

Like, I tell him that

to watch over my family,

for us all to be happy and stay together as a family.

Ooh, that's nice. That's nice.

And a motorcycle and an Xbox.

A motor... You can't drive a motorcycle.

When | get older. Oh, when you get older.

All right, those are good things.

Well, | Know grandma told you what she believes in,

about God and religion.

And | thought maybe | should tell you what | believe.

Do you wanna hear it? Okay, Daddy.

Well, | believe in you.

You're my number one guy. Okay?

And | believe in your mom and all of our family.

My mom and dad and my brothers and sisters.

And, um,

sometimes,

like on a night like tonight,

when I'm sitting under the stars with my son,

eating delicious cookies, | think

I'm pretty blessed.

I'm blessed by something, you know.

Me, too, Daddy.

Mmm, what's that thing that's moving?

Is that another shooting star?

That's an airplane.

Oh! Mmm-hmm.

(SIGHS)

| just need him to feel like we believe in him.

(SIGHS)

It's been five months, Julia.

You can't keep walking on eggshells around this boy.

Everything I've read says that, right now,

our job is to make him feel loved,

trusted, and like he's part of this family.

Yeah, and the way you do that is treat him like family.

Not confronting him about this is like...

Is treating him like a guest.

God.

Joel...

What?

| feel like I'm waiting to fall in love with our son.

(WOMAN ANNOUNCING INDISTINCTLY OVER P.A.)

Okay.

Um, you have everything? Your boarding pass, your ID?

Yeah. Yep!

You got enough cash? Yeah.

You know what? Just in case.

Yeah, give her an extra 20. Cab fare or something.

| packed you a snack in your bag for the flight.

Just take all of it. Okay.

All right.

Okay. All right.

| love you. Just call us when you land.

Okay. Bye.

I'm gonna miss you.

Okay. All right.

Okay. See you all.
