I'm waiting for this wave of love to wash over me,

and it's just not happening.

This is the start of our Act Three.

So you're saying you wanna sell our house?

| think we should talk about it.

I'm gonna run for mayor of Berkeley.

ADAM: Nobody's ever even heard of Kristina. She's never run for office.

It's not like she's running for the presidency.

| don't know how realistic it is.

You've got my back, right?

Yeah.

(PUMPING)

Wow.

That's awesome. (AIDA COOING)

Stop staring at me like that.

| literally cannot look away.

Try.

This is the most fascinating contraption | have ever seen.

It's pneumatic and it's hydraulic.

There's fluid and air. It's... (AIDA CRYING)

It's really not that fascinating, okay? (AIDA CRYING)

| feel like a big, old cow.

A big, lactating, unsexy, sleep-deprived cow.

You know what, | haven't slept

more than 20 minutes ina row

since that thing came out of me. (AIDA CRYING LOUDLY)

(SIGHS) She's gotta take this bottle.

| mean, seriously, I... | really need a break or else I'm gonna die.

And, then, at that point, my breasts will no longer be an option...

Okay. ... because | will be dead.

Okay, so you want me to hook... | hook her to this?

No, just... Does it have, like, a reverse?

It's got a reverse button?

No, just give her to me. Oh... Here, okay.

Just give her to me. Okay. You got more in there?

A lot. Yeah. Okay.

Okay. (AIDA CRYING)

Oh, | know. | know. All right.

Come on.

You look so beautiful right now.

You look... You look really beautiful.

(CRYING CONTINUES)

(SHUSHING)

Thanks for doing this so last minute.

Oh, my pleasure.

Yeah, you were literally, like, the only photographer available.

| mean, seriously. |! must have called, like, 100 people

before | found your website. (GIGGLES)

That many, huh? Mmm. Which | loved, the website. Beautiful.

There's no people, though. That's...

No, I'm trying to specialize in... Oh.

...Pho-dog-raphy," so.

You're really good. Dogs. Thank you.

Here. How about this? Okay, cute.

She has a great stomach. (CLICKS)

Um... Huh? Ready? One, two, three. (HISSING)

Yeah, you like that? Yes.

Oh, that is, like... Oh.

KRISTINA: So, what's first?

Yeah, make sure, though, to triple check that list. Okay.

Okay, at 3:00 you have a phoner with Kaitlin Lonner.

Take a look at these. Kaitlin Lonner is...

Yeah. She's a local blogger,

site gets plenty of traffic, so it's good.

Put pens on the list, too. We need pens.

Pens? | have pens. No, no, no, no, no.

Like, campaign pens, you know, people love free pens.

People... Such a good idea. People love free pens.

When | go to the doctor's office, I'm like, "Oh, there's the pen."

It's easy to remember, right? You want a free pen.

Good morning, honey. Good morning, honey. How are you?

I'm good. Coffee's over there. Okay.

Yeah, it's just easier over here. (DOORBELL RINGS)

ADAM: Great, okay. Is that the door?

Yeah. Sounds like it. That's probably the shirt guy.

I'm gonna grab it. KRISTINA: Okay.

You guys do the hubby-wife thing. Thank you so much.

Your ass is mine for the rest of the day, though.

Okay. Wow. | just... She's so amazing.

I'm telling you what, if Bob knew that she existed

he never would've hired me.

Ever. Honey, you are an amazing Campaign manager.

Oh, | was fine. But she's on fire, like... All right, so...

She's actually making me think... A little spunky.

...that | can do this. (DOOR CLOSING)

Like, | feel like a million bucks with her.

Seriously, there's no coffee?

All right, so, it wasn't the shirt guy,

but our juice is here. Oh. Good.

We've got Extrakt Juice, but no coffee.

Is this where I'm supposed to... I'll put it on the list.

The intern guy's gonna run out later and get it.

Um, we have a meeting with the Renewable Energy people. Okay.

And they like their kale liquefied.

Can | get your credit card, Kristina? Um... Oh.

(MUMBLES) Can | borrow your... Mine's maxed out. | got it.

Just for now, | just... That's not the delivery charge.

No problem. | had to get office supplies and everything.

You know how it is. Here you go, Heather.

Thank you. All right.

KRISTINA: Amazing how fast you run out of things. I...

All right, there's your copy. Do you need me to...

There's your credit card and your receipt. Okay.

Here you go. The tip is included.

| might need 20 bucks later, too, for gas, but...

Really? $250 for juice?

HEATHER: Yeah. Seriously?

(DOOR OPENING)

Amber, are you...

(GASPS) Hi! Hey. Hi.

I'm very sorry. Uh... No, don't. It's fine. Hang on.

Hi. Come in. Do. Uh...

It's fine. Hang on. I'll leave.

Come in here. Shh!

Uh... What's up? It's late. It's just my roommate.

| have a class at 8:00,

and my roommate locked me out. He put the...

He put the lacrosse stick on the door.

Uh... I'm sorry, what?

| can't go in there. | don't Know what to do. Oh, like...

Like, atie or whatever?

Yeah. It's... It's, like, a known...

You don't have a place to sleep?

Yeah. No, and then l... Drew.

| can leave. That's... No, stay.

Okay. Just put your stuff down. Stay here.

It's great. I'll... Yeah, and | can go.

Drew. Do you guys need something? | could...

Don't go back out there. Yeah, we don't really have anything for breakfast.

Honey. We'll get breakfast tomorrow. You...

It's fine. You can totally stay, man. Of course.

We have our whole lives to hang out. I'm just saying

if you need something for breakfast, there's...

We have stuff. It's fine. Okay? All right.

Do you want something to drink or something? I'm sorry.

Uh, sure.

Okay. This is gonna be fun.

(VEHICLE REVERSING)

ZEEK: That's it, bring it back, my man.

Gently! (VEHICLE APPROACHING)

Bring it on back, come on.

That's it! You got plenty of room.

Come on back.

Gently! That's it.

What is this?

Huh? This.

This? Yeah.

This! Come here a minute.

This is a 1965 Pontiac GTO convertible coupe.

Now, you gotta use your imagination,

but underneath all this dust

is a beautiful metallic teal paint job.

What's it doing in our driveway?

Not "it." Not "it." "She."

"What's she doing here?"

Okay, Billy, | think we're good. Let her down.

Let's unhook her. Come on.

Anyway, | got her from Walter at the Vet Center.

You bought it? We own this?

"She." We own her.

| mean, it was no big deal. Don't think about the money.

Walter practically gave her away.

The only thing she needs is a brand new engine

and that's gonna be the fun part. That's a yearlong project.

No, six to eight months tops, Millie.

This is your answer, right?

| say | wanna talk about possibly selling the house

and you pull a yearlong project into the driveway?

Would you quit saying it? It's six to eight months.

Come on. Give me some credit here, girl.

Hey, don't walk away from me. Okay, Billy!

Let's unhook her! Come on! Zeek!

Isn't she a beauty?

Victor's reading skills aren't anywhere near where they should be.

Right. Yeah.

| Know he's a little bit behind. But he has...

| mean, made leaps and bounds since he's lived with us.

| understand there's special circumstances,

and that's why | wanted to speak with you both first

before | make any sort of a recommendation.

Okay, what's happening here? Recommendation for what?

From what I've seen, Victor might benefit

from repeating the fourth grade.

You wanna... You wanna hold him back?

No, | don't wanna do anything here, now,

except open up a dialog.

Generally speaking, we don't like to move children

into a different classroom unless it's a last resort.

(SIGHS) | mean...

We read with him every night but maybe we could read...

Do a little more reading, | don't know. Um...

Julia's got some time off from work. Maybe you could...

That would be wonderful. | mean, | was gonna suggest a tutor,

but that's even better.

| can give you some extra reading assignments and exercises.

Victor is really a very, very sweet boy.

Mmm-hmm. I'd like to see a little more effort

but | think that'll come as he gains more confidence.

So, what if he doesn't? What if he doesn't improve?

Let's just take a breath,

put a strategy in place. JOEL: Okay.

We'll see if it works and, um,

then we'll worry about making any decisions.

Thank you. Mmm-hmm.

(MUTTERING) All right, keep a good attitude, Adam.

We're gonna cut these costs.

Hey! (KNOCKING)

Yeah? Can | work here?

The Wi-Fi's out in my building.

Wow, you gotta get a new super.

| Knew you were gonna say that.

(SIGHS) Yeah, come on in.

What are you doing?

lam working on Kristina's campaign budget.

Doesn't she have the woman who does that?

Yeah, she's got a campaign manager, Heather,

but if | let her do this, we're gonna wind up in the hole for sure.

$600 for pens. Do we really need pens?

| don't think so. | love free pens.

Is that gonna make you vote for somebody? Sure.

We're gonna wind up bankrupt.

Look at this. $900 for headshots.

Get a photographer to take one picture of Kristina

for the lawn signs and all the other posters.

Um...

I'll do the headshots.

Sarah, | mean... What?

| mean, have you ever worked with a human being?

(SCOFFS)

Not professionally. Well, | need a professional.

This is a campaign. It's... She's running... lam a professional.

| don't feel good about working, you know, with family.

| don't think that's a good idea.

Is that why you went into business with your brother, Crosby?

And hired my daughter to work the front desk?

All right, point taken.

Maybe you just don't feel good about working with this family.

I'm saying if I'm gonna be spending

close to $1,000 on a photograph... (SIGHS)

You don't have to. ...for a campaign...

You know what? I'll do it for free. For free?

Yes. Yes! As in no money?

Satisfaction guaranteed? |! want the shot.

Of course! We don't like it, we go somewhere else?

Deal.

$100. $50.

Fine. Okay, it's a deal.

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

(SIGHS)

(AIDA CRYING)

(INAUDIBLE) CROSBY: I'm on it! I'm totally on it!

Just... You keep relaxing.

Thank you! (SIGHS)

(CRYING CONTINUES)

CROSBY: Sweetie, sweetie. It's breast milk. You like breast milk.

I've seen you enjoying breasts. It's just breast milk.

You don't... You don't want it?

Come on, just...

...1 do to you...

(SIGHS)

Hey, honey.

Hi.

You look very beautiful.

| look like | should be offering you peanuts and an in-flight magazine.

Don't you think? That is one sexy flight attendant right there.

Honey, a mayor's not supposed to look sexy. What?

They're supposed to look mayoral, with maybe a hint of...

Well? ... Sexiness.

| feel like | need a whole new wardrobe. You know, like...

Hey, uh, how would you feel about having Sarah do your campaign photo?

Your sister? Yeah, she said she'd do it for free.

Fifty bucks, so, practically free.

But this photo has to be awesome.

We need a good professional image.

Sarah will do a good job. Honey.

Check it out. Yep.

Hot off the presses.

Okay? We need a professional. We can do that.

We don't need a professional photographer...

He looks like a million... ...that's gonna cost $1,000.

We've already spent $5,000 on this campaign, and it's stressing me out.

Technically, this isn't really our money.

Oh, it is our money. We're gonna get reimbursed.

We're gonna... Oh, it's our money. I'm not suggesting

that we stop spending money on your campaign.

I'm just saying slow down until we know

that there are some donations coming in, okay?

There are donations coming in, okay?

All right, I'll tell you what. What? (SIGHS)

Can | just sit down with you, just for a second?

Look. | just wanna show you a couple different ways

we can trim the budget.

You went through my budget?

Why did you... | did.

For what?

We're spending our money on the campaign right now.

Adam, | know that we're spending our money right now,

but we're gonna pay ourselves back.

| just wanna pull back a little bit

until we know that we have the donations coming in

to cover these expenses, Okay?

The donations are coming in. Okay.

And we're gonna raise enough money to cover all of our expenses!

Okay, just stop for one second, all right?

No, you're pissing me off! Just for a...

I'm sorry I'm making you mad. This is a reality check, okay?

| guess so, it's a reality check. You're a first-time candidate.

Am | really? | didn't Know that. You're late to the race.

Oh, my God. And | wanna make sure

that we're gonna be able to come up with enough donations...

God! ...to cover these expenses.

You don't think that | Know that Bob Little wants to see me,

like, crash and burn,

and that I'm a first-time political candidate

and this is gonna be a tough run for me?

You don't think | know that, Adam? Okay.

No, hold on a second.

When you wanted to open up the Luncheonette, | supported you 100%.

It was 10 times crazier and 10 times more expensive than this.

It's worked out, okay? And by the way, at the time...

It's worked out well. ... you called me nuts.

| did call you nuts. But | supported you.

And I'm supporting you.

I'm just trying to help out here. | have always supported you.

No. | just don't wanna see us get into

financial trouble here, Kristina.

That's all I'm doing. You're not trusting me is what you're doing.

Thank you, budget boy.

(CHUCKLES)

Budget boy. Great.

(SIGHS)

| haven't slept. Oh.

I've just been thinking about this Victor situation.

(GROANS)

And, you know, Miss McKindall is right.

His reading level is not up to fifth grade reading level.

| mean, it's not even fourth grade reading level,

if we're being honest with ourselves.

Which is why she wanted to have us in to talk about

reading with him more.

Oh, but I've been reading with him constantly.

Okay, well, maybe | can come home from work a couple nights a week.

And if | can't do that then we'll find a tutor for him.

| don't Know how much more we can do. (SIGHS)

Really, that we haven't already done.

We've done it and it hasn't worked.

And it's not gonna work in the time frame that we have.

(SIGHS) | mean, I...

God, he's gonna be in the same grade as Sydney.

| don't even know how to begin to tackle that.

Jules, we're not even there yet. We...

How close to there do we have to be?

She said she wants to hold him back.

Basically, that she was waiting because of, you know,

his "special circumstances," which is...

Ugh! | hate that. Okay.

Just... Let's... Deep breaths, here.

Were we even in the same conversation?

You know what | heard? | heard a teacher telling us

that we got a good kid.

Can we take our finger off the nuclear launch button now?

I'm not going nuclear. I'm... (SIGHS)

Going a little...

Going a little nuclear. ... nuclear.

That's okay. But...

It's a tough conversation to have. But that's all it was.

A conversation. It was a conversation

about holding our kid back a year. (SIGHS)

Can | just get coffee? Yeah.

Hey, Berto. Nice robe, roommate.

Hey, so, | might need some private time again tonight.

It's not 100% yet, but | got a strong feeling.

Um, actually, |have aclass...

Hey, Natalie.

Oh. Uh... Hi.

Guy from across the... Yeah, Drew.

Drew, right. Yeah.

Hey. soy

We have the same shower caddy.

Look at that. Yeah. Crazy small world. Yeah.

The line, it's...

It's... There's a... Just wait,

‘cause the line's kind of long. Okay.

Nice work, dude. See ya.

SARAH: Hey, can | borrow the flag stand?

You're not really asking, ‘cause it's already in the cart, right? So...

Hey, can | borrow the flag stand

that | already have in the cart?

Yes. But if one of your dog clients does something on it,

I'm gonna want a new one.

Thank you for asking. Uh, my client tomorrow's not a dog.

It is a real live human being.

Really? Mmm-hmm.

Is it against their will or...

Uh, that's very funny. In fact, my client is very prestigious.

It's a mayoral candidate.

Oh, yeah. | got it. Yeah.

Your sister-in-law, right? Yeah. Running for mayor.

So? Don't say it like that.

Like that's not a real job. It's a real job.

No... She's still running for mayor.

Um... I'm excited. You could be excited for me.

lam, it's exciting.

Thanks. You know what'd be exciting?

(CELLPHONE RINGS) You'd make some money

and maybe you'd buy some equipment.

(CHUCKLES) Oh, look at this! (CELL PHONE RINGING)

The representative of my famous client. Hi, Adam.

Your sister in law, you mean.

Yeah.

Oh.

Really?

No, | do get it. Thank you.

I'll talk to you about it later. No, just...

Thanks for calling. Okay. Bye.

Um, Kristina decided she wants somebody with more experience.

Get the next one, then, right? (SCOFFS) Yeah.

You know, I've been passed over so many times on jobs.

It's really no big deal.

Yeah, but...

... you get passed over ‘cause you have a weird personality, but...

That's totally not true. Anyway, this is my family

and they're just not even taking me seriously.

(SIGHS) Why would they, really?

No, | mean... | mean... No. no. Just...

No, no, no. Don't sugarcoat it.

Look. When | met you,

you were a playwright or something.

And then, uh... A graphic... You did stuff with...

Graphic designer. | did it a long time ago. Yeah, you were that too.

A long time ago. But you are flighty.

They don't take you seriously because they know you.

(LAUGHS) So... That's not an insult.

I'm just saying strangers don't know you.

No, I'm serious. | know.

Working with family is hell.

Strangers don't know who you are, you got a clean slate.

Well, you Know me. Do you take me seriously?

Oh...

No, okay. Okay, what? Let me answer.

No. You paused. The pause says it all!

| pause on everything. No, no. That... Not that kind.

| gotta... | gotta form the words. Don't try to fix it.

| gotta go. This is exactly what I'm talking about.

What? You get all flighty with, uh...

I'm not getting flighty. I'm exiting, I'm leaving.

You know, sometimes you pause for effect.

I'll just talk to you later.

This is flighty, what you're doing right now.

(DOOR OPENING)

(DOOR CLOSES)

If | choose my, uh, state project on Hawaii,

does that mean we could take a trip there?

Victor, you know what? States are not assigned for another month or so.

So let's just focus on the work that you have now.

Right? Like the reading we were doing.

We got through two chapters of

Island of the Blue Dolphins last night.

That's great! Yeah.

Were you guys trading off reading or just Dad?

Dad read. Okay.

Victor followed along, though.

Okay, how do you like the book?

Well, what was it about?

It...

Victor, you read two chapters.

You ought to be able to tell me what it's about.

It was about, like, otters and dumb stuff like that.

Okay, what about main characters? All right.

And it's time to brush teeth. You guys, I'm driving you today. So get going.

Go on.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

SARAH: Hello?

Oh. Hey! Hey!

How are you? How you doing, stranger?

Do you have a minute? Of course | do.

I'm Sure you're really busy. lam a little bit.

Wow! But I'm just getting things under way.

| know, it's crazy, right? It's amazing.

It looks incredible. (SIGHS) It's so fun.

Yeah. It's just... | just got the balloons done and...

Great. ...the campaign Signs, SO...

Everything's coming together.

Kristina, | believe in you.

And while | know that you haven't chosen me as your photographer yet,

| also know that you haven't seen some of my most recent work

and | thought, maybe if you saw it, you'd change your mind.

| would love to see your... Um... Yeah, of course.

Now, this is Waffles,

but what | want you to see is just his eyes and the warmth...

Yeah. ...and intelligence...

He seems like a nice dog. ..In his eyes.

This cat was cross-eyed.

That cat... So it's not the best example.

It's cute. Sure. Again, it's just capturing personality.

What | know I can do better than a stranger, is capture you.

Sarah, listen. | love... What's strong and beautiful...

... ow passionate you are. ...and smart about you and | can get that.

Thank you. | love how passionate you are, but I...

| have to have...

| just need a professional... l... | understand.

| need someone that has done it so many times before.

| have to... Or do you need someone

who knows you So well that they can bring out

what's beautiful and strong and smart about you?

| would argue I'm that person.

| Know | don't have a lot of experience, but...

But this has to be my one shot.

This... | get one shot at this photo.

| have to bring it to the printers by the end of the week.

I... This is an important shot for me, too.

(SIGHS)

To tell you the truth, not a lot of people think I'm gonna win.

Well, I'm not one of those people.

Thank you. Um...

Okay.

Okay?

Okay. Why not? Thank you so much.

You're welcome. You won't regret it.

| swear, you won't regret it.

|! wouldn't do this if | didn't think... Okay.

.... could do it 100%, okay? Let's do it.

Let's do it. Thank you so much.

You're welcome. This is gonna be great.

MAN: Julia.

Julia. Hey. Hi.

How you doing?

Took a little trip there, huh? Yeah.

I'm sorry, I'm a little out of it.

Yeah. (SIGHS)

All right, I'm just gonna...

Uh, no, no, no. I'm sorry. I'm fine.

I'm... | mean, I'm not fine, but...

You don't have to go. That's...

I'm assuming you weren't in Bora-Bora just now, huh?

Victor's teacher is talking to us about holding him back.

But you don't know that. | didn't say that.

Please just keep that to yourself.

Yeah, no. I'm... I'm sorry.

| would not say anything at all. (EXHALES)

That's... Mmm.

That's rough. So that's where | was going. | mean...

Playing out the scenarios. Do | keep him in fifth grade?

Do | put him back in fourth grade? Oh...

Do | home school him? |! mean, | don't know.

So it's not, like, definitely happening? No.

She just wanted to open the conversation. Oh.

So we're still waiting to see. | mean... God!

| hate it when schools say crap like that.

Because it's either do it or don't do it. (SIGHS)

But every second that you keep waiting,

the poor kid is getting more settled in the fifth grade. It's stupid.

Wow. That is so not my place to say.

No... No. You're absolutely right.

Huh.

Dick Cheney failed out of Yale. Twice.

(LAUGHS)

Not really sure where you put that on your pro-con list, though.

Exactly. What makes you think | have a pro-con list?

Ah, come on. You're a former lawyer.

Dengraf & Prossler. (CLICKS TONGUE)

Totally got a pro-con list.

| totally got a pro-con list. All right. (LAUGHS) Yes, you do.

Yeah. Pro-con this thing?

Yes, okay.

Let's go. Cons. Cons.

Berto, hey. Um... What's up, dude?

You got a minute? Um... What's up, bro?

| thought maybe we should talk about the, um...

Are those my sheets?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. | was out and yours were there.

Why? Are you not cool with that?

No.

No, I'm not. And also, you know,

putting the stick on the door. l...

| keep getting locked out. | have an 8:00 a.m. class. | can't...

Dude. That's rough. Can | give you some advice?

Next time this happens, go out and knock on a girl's door.

Like, uh... Like that girl from the bathroom that you're so hot for.

What, Natalie?

Go up to her door and be all like,

“Ugh, my jackass roommate just s-exiled me."

And, then, she'll be all like,

"Aw, you poor thing. Come in here..."

Dude, we gotta roll. "...80 | can comfort you."

Yeah. That's not... It's not a bad idea. It's...

Hopefully it won't happen again. Do you know?

Bro. What?

Good talk, dude.

(SIGHS)

| don't Know. To me, it's just really strange. It's...

| don't like it.

Well, it's unconventional.

But the lactation consultant said that babies respond to the natural nipple feel.

(SCOFFS) You know? Maybe not even the more...

Have you tried all this stuff?

Dad, I'm willing to try anything.

We are so desperate at this point.

The baby will not stop crying unless she's breastfeeding.

And | don't know how much more... (SIGHS)

... Jasmine can take.

She needs a break. And the baby will not take a bottle from me.

Well, sometimes, they don't want the dad.

You know, that's... It's that simple.

The whole thing is not what | thought it was gonna be.

| mean, | know Jabbar was five years old when | met him,

and | can't really compare the two situations.

But it just felt a lot easier. There was, uh...

You know, an instant connection with him the moment | saw him and...

Girls are complicated. You know, they're different.

| mean, boys, they're a little simpler.

You know, a boy's got a problem, you take him to a ballgame,

you get him a hot dog, they're copacetic. They're...

They're good to go. And | mean...

Girls, uh... You gotta walk around on eggshells with them.

And, | don't know, one day you're the king of the castle,

you know, they're just in love with you. You're their daddy.

And then the next thing you know, they don't know who you are.

It's like they...

They hate you.

| didn't realize it was gonna be this hard.

Yeah, it's difficult. (SIGHS HEAVILY)

But that's what... That's what makes it good at the end, you know?

| mean, it changes.

| don't know.

What's Mom think of this car?

Oh, she loves it.

Does she? Oh! Loves it.

There. And, okay.

Got it? Good. Yeah. Really good.

You need to turn that down. No, no.

Buddy. It's okay.

No, it has to be a more precise shot...

Please let Aunt Sarah do her job. ...with the camera

so far away. Max, enough.

We gotta get this done. You said you wanted to help.

I'm just saying. You're not helping, buddy.

Does she look too white? She does. No.

She's not gonna be too pale when it happens. She looks very pale.

lam a little pale, though.

So, let's just do a couple of... I'm not slouching?

Remember. | have on panty hose.

Let's just do a couple test shots, guys. Okay.

MAX: Line up your nose and your belly button.

Okay. Kristina, your posture.

Warm and happy. HEATHER: Keep her strong.

You know, maternal, still.

(GA SPS) Hey, baby Hi!

Hey. There she is.

Here you go, Mama. HEATHER: We're wasting time, so.

That's too maternal. Come on.

Should | sit or... I'm sweating. Come on, people.

Everyone just pipe down a little bit, okay?

MAX: She looks like she's in pain.

Definitely the last series. Okay.

Yeah. That's awesome. We're not there yet. We're not...

We're gonna get killed. SARAH: You got a good eye.

Hank show you some stuff? SARAH: Okay.

No, you're not doing it... Oh. Oh, okay. Stop.

No, no. I'm good. Thank you. Allow me.

Damn it.

Damn it!

Ugh...

It's lavender mint.

Oh, thank you, Millie.

(SIGHS) | thought it was about time

you'd wanna stop for the night.

No, I... Oh, God.

No, I'm kind of on a roll here, if you Know what | mean.

Yeah, well, it's getting pretty late.

Yeah, | know.

Why don't you go ahead and go up to bed without me.

And I'll be there in a few minutes.

You can't keep doing this.

No, just a few more minutes.

You can't keep avoiding this!

Well, Millie, I'll tell you what. Now, if | stop now,

I'm gonna have parts all over the place.

And it's gonna be one hell of a big mess.

Okay. Fine. We'll... We'll talk while you work.

Okay, clue me in here.

Exactly what are we supposed to be talking about?

You know what we're supposed to be talking about.

| tried to have a discussion with you

about the possibility of selling the house and you walked away from me.

Okay. All right. So, what is there to talk about?

Why don't we start with your feelings?

| mean, what do you feel? How...

You know, what are you thinking?

(SIGHS) I don't wanna sell the house.

End of discussion.

So why bother to have a conversation?

Okay, you may or may not wanna sell the house.

And in the end, maybe | won't wanna sell the house either.

But we're gonna have a discussion about It!

| deserve that much.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Hey, I'm sorry. Can | come in? Hey, we're closed.

| Know. | just thought that... What's going on?

The shoot was terrible.

And, um, | was very nervous, and Kristina was nervous.

And Max was the only one who seemed to know what he was doing,

which made me even more nervous,

and her campaign manager wanted her to be maternal and powerful,

and | don't know what that means.

Well, you shouldn't.

| don't know what that means either. It's stupid.

Can you just tell me if I'm any good?

(CHUCKLES)

Please.

Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm.

Mmm-hmm.

That's your shot right there.

| mean, the other ones are...decent. Some of them are okay.

Some are better than others. But...

That's your shot. Okay.

| mean, you know, | don't Know what | would have done different, but...

Everybody has their own style. (CLEARS THROAT)

It's a really good shot.

Yeah? Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

It's good.

Thanks.

| tried to talk to him again. He told me we had a nice talk. And called me "bro."

And, no. The stick has been on the door for three hours now.

Again? Three hours?

Yes, three hours. That's a long time.

Also, he took my sheets. Your personal sheets?

Which ones? Not the gray ones. The sheets you got me.

Yes. The gray sheets?

| swear, yes. Oh, my God. That's no joke.

| Know. Those were expensive.

That's what I'm trying to say. I'm gonna call him.

| Know you're embarrassed. We're not gonna call him.

I'm like a mom. But I'm gonna call him.

Well, you don't have his number. RYAN: Listen,

you can't talk to people like that. So, ha-ha.

Babe. I'm just saying.

You can't talk to people like this.

Yeah, it's not. You have to go and confront them.

Can... (GASPS)

We're definitely not going down there. Oh, my gosh.

Let's go down there. You got this guy on your side.

We're just gonna talk to him. We're just gonna talk to him.

AMBER: Come on. What, like, scare him?

No. No, we're gonna be nice. Yeah, nice. Nice.

We're gonna reason with the guy. Let's go get him.

RYAN: Cool? Come on.

What the hell? Oh, my God. What are you doing?

There's a roommate issue that needs to be resolved

and it doesn't concern you. | think you should leave.

| apologize.

Oh, no, no. Not with this. I'm so sorry.

| can't let you have that. Sorry.

Dude. What the hell do you think you're doing?

"Dude" is not his name. It's Drew.

Not "Dude." Not "Bro." Drew.

Say it. Let's practice. Drew. Drew.

Say it. Yeah. Great. Drew.

That's okay. Dude, | don't know who you think you are...

No, no, no. "Dude" is not my name either.

Sergeant York is fine. He's in the Army.

And if Drew has a problem with you,

you have a problem with me. Got it?

Got it. Great.

Yeah, and you know, quit locking me out.

And we also talked about the line,

you know, keep your stuff on that side.

Oh, | have something. Um, the sheets thing, it just can't happen.

Because it seems like not a big deal. But, actually, even if you...

Okay. Yeah. We've... ...dry-clean them, the smell is...

And the sheets, will... Don't touch his sheets.

Don't touch anything of his without asking from now on, okay?

Okay. Great.

See ya. Nice to meet you.

Good talk, bro.

Okay. The runts are asleep.

Victor's homework is done. So, let's talk.

Okay. | think you nailed it when you said it's not gonna fix itself overnight.

Good. So we agree.

It's not gonna fix itself in the next two or three weeks either.

Yeah... So, the longer he stays there,

the harder it is for him to start over.

And | think we just need to do it.

We need to rip off the Band-Aid.

Rip...

You wanna hold him back? Yeah.

Now? Without even trying?

We've been trying.

| tutored him every day this whole summer while you were at work.

What's that supposed to mean?

It doesn't mean anything. It means that | know where he's at on this.

| Know what I'm seeing. So dol.

Not the way that | do.

Don't pull rank with me.

I'm not pulling rank. | never did that with you when you were working.

It's not fair. (SIGHS) I'm sure you saw plenty

that | didn't see while | was working.

And you made decisions without even consulting me.

Yeah. PB and J, or tuna fish.

Ballet or karate. Nothing like this.

Nothing like this ever came up.

Well, this has come up now. And | think we need to hold him back.

And | disagree.

| see a kid who's trying, who's making huge strides.

If we pull him back now, his...

| mean, it will just absolutely shred his self-confidence.

No... What's gonna shred his self-confidence

is keeping him in a class where he can't keep up.

There are studies on this.

Ed was telling me that he read a study about the...

Ed? Who the hell is Ed?

Ed is a parent from the Sustainability Committee.

Ed Brooks? Yeah.

You talked to Ed Brooks about this?

Fantastic. Well, we might as well go and just talk to Victor now

and tell him because the whole school's gonna know about this

in the morning. He's not gonna tell anyone.

Oh, Ed won't. No. But his wife probably will.

She happens to be the biggest blabbermouth in the PTA.

Listen. Relax. She's not even around the school anymore.

Ed hardly sees her. She's not gonna...

What... What else are you and Ed talking about?

He just caught me ina bad moment.

| was upset and so | kind of... Yeah.

Anyway, let's stay on topic, here.

Yeah, let's stay on topic.

What about what happened at breakfast this morning?

What about this morning at breakfast?

You laying into our son about the stupid book, Julia.

You needle him like that, he's gonna know that something is up.

Something is up.

This is ridiculous.

Are you ending this conversation that we've waited all day to have?

What else is there to say?

There...

(EXHALES)

We need to set up a meeting with his teacher and with the principal

and we need to discuss getting him back into fourth grade as soon as possible.

That's what there is to discuss.

No.

No.

We're not doing that.

We made a plan with his teacher

that we were gonna find him tutoring,

we were gonna take a month and then we would reevaluate.

And that's what we're gonna do.

You don't like it...

...talk to Ed.

I'm going for a walk.

Good morning.

Morning.

Wow, | mean that

is one awesome campaign photo right there. (CHUCKLES) Yes.

Right? Your sister really came through.

| think it's great. | think she did a really good job.

Yeah. It's strong. It's...

That is professional quality right there. Mmm-hmm.

She's gonna expect to get paid next time.

More than 50 bucks. (LAUGHS)

You made the deal. Pretty slick deal | made right there.

Yeah, that's good.

She deserves every penny.

It's just... It's SO weird, isn't it?

What?

The picture. | mean, just to look at it, it's like I'm...

...not used to seeing myself with hair.

Right? You know?

| catch myself, you know,

walking past a mirror or something, and...

| still half-expect me to be bald, you know? Mmm.

There goes bald Kristina.

Cancer Kristina.

| feel like | kicked cancer in its teeth.

| feel like kind of a bad ass, you know?

You did kick cancer in its teeth. You are a bad ass.

We're lucky.

We are.

We're very lucky. Mmm-hmm.

| don't know. | feel like, lately, I've just had this

"| defeated cancer" attitude. | can do anything

and conquer the world... You can do anything.

...and | feel like...

| feel like | got ahead of myself with this campaign, you know?

Uh-huh. | feel like we need to...

Just to pull back a little. Maybe talk to Heather about, you know,

not spending as much, just until | can make some money fundraising, and...

Mmm-hmm. Just to see where we stand.

Kristina, you know after giving that little speech,

| don't have any choice but to reach in my wallet

and hand over my credit card.

You know that. Okay, well, that was not my intention.

lam not trying to get sympathy.

I... I'm just... | know.

And you know | have mixed feelings about the campaign.

SO... | Know that you do.

So where does that leave us?

Well, it leaves me with no choice.

Take it.

Just take it. | can't.

Take it. Just take it. | can't do it. (LAUGHS)

Take the other one. Take it. Oh, God.

Just... It's better than sex.

Take the whole thing.

Thank you for believing in me.

| love you.

| love you.

No more green juice. | can get red juice.

Hey.

(GROANS)

You remember when Adam and Crosby hung the "Welcome Home" sign

from the tree there?

When we brought Julia home from the hospital...

And Sarah...

... she had her first play in the barn.

(LAUGHS)

You remember Crosby's punk rock band?

(LAUGHS) Were they bad or what?

| mean, practicing all night long. Huh?

Sarah, when she was a little girl and she ran away from home,

she hides in the guesthouse,

tells us she never wants to see us again.

Zeek...

And, Julia, | mean, wasn't it yesterday she stood there

and told us she got into Stanford?

And Crosby got married down there

where | strung up all those Fourth of July lights.

| mean, how many millions of years ago was that?

Everything | want is right here, Millie.

This is it. This is...

This is my third act.

With you.

ls that supposed to be the better way to wander

| want more.

| want us to do wonderful things together.

Like, | can picture us bragging about our grandchildren

as we're boating down the Seine.

| don't know, I... You know, I've... (CHUCKLES)

I've been painting this yard for 20 years now.

I'd kind of like to paint something else.

Think how many things we could do.

How many things we could afford to do if we sold the house.

All the places we could see.

Well, | don't know. I've seen other places.

| didn't really care for 'em.

Well, | haven't.

| was so young when we got married.

God, | was practically a baby myself when Adam was born.

I'm not complaining, you know that.

It's been a good life.

It's been a beautiful life. I've loved every minute of it.

But I'm ready for the next step.

Hey. Hey.

| need the room, bro.

You got it, Drew.

That was my roommate. Yeah.

This is pretty much it.

Scrabble. Oh, yeah.

My mom packed that for me. No, | love Scrabble.

Yeah? Yeah.

Um...

Do you wanna play, or... Yeah? Yeah.

| love Scrabble, too. Who doesn't?

It's like seven, right? Seven. Yeah, seven.

How God heals your heart

Your eyes are quite fine...

“The vill..."

| don't know this one. Sound it out. You're doing good.

(VICTOR SIGHS)

"Village? Vill... Village."

Good job, Victor. That was a hard one. (DOOR OPENING)

"was..." Yeah.

(DOOR CLOSES) "...fog crept..."

Hi. Hey, guys.

Pray like we know

Her own ticking clocks

Hold my hand and grow

Whisper in my ear and people

CROSBY: Aida, listen. Listen, listen. (CRYING)

You're gonna have to take the bottle, sweetie.

‘Cause your mom's asleep and she's exhausted, all right?

You gonna meet me halfway, here?

All right, sweetie. You gotta try to take the bottle, okay?

Hey, can you try?

All right, you gotta... Come on. Please?

No, don't make that face.

Honey, listen to me. | Know your mom's got boobs,

But I'm here for you too, all right?

It's important to me that you know that.

I'm always gonna be here for you, okay?

You understand that? You and me.

You take this bottle.

Please, please, please, please, please.

Yeah! That's a good girl.

Oh, good job, honey.
