So, sorry about that. She's gonna have 20 minutes in there.

I'll see you inside. Oh. (CHUCKLES)

I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding! (LAUGHS)

Is it really necessary for you to sign every letter?

I'm sure Bob Little doesn't sign every campaign letter himself.

No, he sure doesn't. | remember 'cause | used to sign them for him.

Thank you for doing this. | Know it's kind of a pain in the butt.

Got paper cuts, too.

How many more of these do | have to stuff

That's good. Yeah.

16% of the votes?

That's all right. That's all right. 16% know you're running.

7% of the votes.

7% of the votes?

Hey, don't get discouraged. You know...

ADAM: You know what? Let's run the numbers like this.

Look at it. Honey. That's half of the people

who know you're running are voting for you.

Look at that. Guys, this is not good. We worked so hard.

We put ourselves out there. That's awful.

Oh, no, no, no. We're not done though.

Come on, Kristina.

We're just getting started.

People don't even know | exist. Look, | mean...

Look at some of these numbers. 12% of the voters don't like Bob Little.

1% don't like you. They hate him.

‘Cause they don't know | exist.

No, no, no, no, no. Look here. Look here.

Small voter turnout. Okay.

And that's good for you, because you could turn this around.

That is good. | can.

And we still have the debates coming up. You're right. Debates.

That's gonna be our opportunity for Berkeley to see who you are,

get to know your name. Right.

Fall in love with your personality.

Come on! Right? Exactly. That's right.

Absolutely, of course. She's got a great personality.

Of course, | married her.

She's got an awesome personality. | like myself.

That's why you love this woman. Yeah.

What if they don't fall in love with me?

Honestly? Yeah.

Then we call it.

(DOORBELL RINGING) SARAH: Coming.

Good morning. Look! Hi! Whoa.

Mmm! Runny egg soup. No, it's... Pfft.

| got to put it back in. It didn't set for some reason.

But it's gonna be a frittata. The Barefoot Contessa says SO.

Is that bread in there? No.

Here's mimosas. Oh.

Start the day off right.

This is unlike you. What do you mean?

What do | mean? I'm not sure if...

Have you ever seen an oven before? As of today.

Well, | hadn't turned that particular one on.

Okay. But it works just like a charm.

Uh-huh.

And, uh, you know, | thought I'd try something...

Try something new.

Cheers. Oh, good.

What's up?

| mean, really? We...

We never really talked about the discussion that we had the other day.

It was kind of an intense one.

You sort of said some insulting things about my fiancé,

comparing him to my father, who's a deadbeat and...

| wasn't insulting him. And your father is not a deadbeat.

He has some similar issues, and | think...

Oh, my gosh. | was pretty clear.

You're still on it. Okay.

No, you're still on it. I'm making it...

Yeah, of course I'm still on it,

because it's the biggest decision of my life and you...

You don't trust me to make the right choice. | do trust you.

Obviously you don't, because you don't support me.

lam not you, okay? You can make any choice you want and | support you.

| absolutely support you. But you don't agree.

| don't have to agree with you.

Oh, my God. Yes, you do.

lam there for you. And I'm gonna be there for you every step of the way.

| don't want you there for me if you don't agree

with my biggest life choice that I'm ever gonna make.

It doesn't matter. | don't have to agree!

It does matter!

| have to be there for you, which is what I'm trying to do.

It does matter! You don't think that | should get married.

Well, | don't think you should get married,

but it doesn't mean that I'm not going to support...

You're really hurting my feelings. Why are you doing this?

| have to, Mom. Why?

Because | don't want to hang out with you like this.

Honey, you don't want to overwater those things, do you?

(LAUGHS)

Hey, I'm doing pretty good.

Hey, uh, you know I've been thinking, this condo thing you've been talking about.

| mean, what do you do? You want to take the tour of them?

What? The condos.

You said you wanted to be,

you know, closer into the city and everything.

What do you do? | mean...

What does that mean? You get a real estate person, they show you around?

Is that it?

Yeah, that's how it works.

(SIGHS) Well, I'm free tomorrow.

Seriously? Yeah, checked my schedule.

| mean, you've been going on about the condos for...

Oh, no. Yeah. Oh. Yeah, you've been talking to me about it.

So I'm saying let's go... Sure.

...l00k at an old condo, see what's up.

Great.

I'm not saying I'm gonna like it, but we'll look at it.

Yep. We'll look at the condo.

Great!

(DOORBELL CHIMES)

There's two cars in the driveway. They're clearly home.

Right, yeah. They just don't wanna answer the door.

You can't force them to answer the door if they don't want to.

Let's go. It's rude, though.

Someone is ringing your doorbell, you answer the door.

You never answer the door.

|...do. (CELL PHONE RINGING)

Except maybe when it's dinnertime, because it's family, and on principle...

Uh-huh. ...you don't interrupt family time.

It's Peet. Can |? Okay.

Hey, uh...

Yeah. No, no, no. Uh, we're just out canvassing for my sister-in-law.

All right. Okay.

Uh, you want me to call Bill?

Yeah, no problem.

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, you too. Bye.

Uh, sorry. Um, shall we?

Yes. We have 30 more houses. Let's do it.

We have 30 more houses?

We said we would do 100.

Did we? You... Yeah.

Maybe we can count that one. It's 29. (CELL PHONE CHIMES)

Okay, it's just | got to...

| got to call Bill back before the end of the day.

Okay, uh...

Well, go do what you have to do, and I'll finish.

No, it's just I... (CELL PHONE CHIMES)

| can... |can meet you at home.

| didn't realize work was gonna be this crazy. Um...

But, no. Let's... Let's just finish up this street and...

(CELL PHONE RINGING) Great.

So, um... Yeah, that's... That's Bill.

Um...

I'll see you at home. Okay.

Do you want these? Yeah.

Yeah. All right, thank you. Yeah. Okay.

Hey! Um... So, | just got off the phone with Peet...

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

Ooh, hybrids! Maybe we should get a hybrid.

Oh, a hybrid. (GASPS)

Oh, | want this one, Mommy! This one! This one.

You like this one? You're supposed to be my partner on this.

This is cool!

What are you talking about? Can | go inside and check it out?

Yeah, sure. Go check it out. | can't, um...

This is great.

You're not seriously considering this, are you?

Yeah, lam. This is awesome.

You like it? It's pretty cool, huh? Yeah!

You can watch movies.

See? You can watch movies in this.

That's about all you can do.

We're gonna... We're gonna take it for a test drive

and | think maybe then you'll like it.

I'm not gonna go drive this thing! What if someone sees me?

But you're gonna be the one driving it.

So, | mean, | thought you would like to try it out.

Why would | be the one driving it? This is for you.

We're not getting rid of my car!

Yeah, we are.

| already got rid of my Ducati for the house! You want me to...

But your car's way older than mine, okay?

It just doesn't make sense to keep... What?

You think that the two cars we're gonna own are a VW Bug and a minivan?

And what will | drive to work?

You know, | work with musicians at a recording studio.

And I'm gonna show up in either a little tiny vagina, or a humongous vagina?

Yeah. What are you talking about, Dad?

Champagne-colored. Nothing. Nothing.

You are a traitor. I'll take the minivan.

Let's go find somebody to give us a test drive. Yeah.

You need to watch The Dukes Of Hazzard. Minivan! Yeah!

BOTH: Yeah! Minivan! And Smokey and the Bandit.

You shouldn't be this excited.

Honey, I'm not... I'm not doing this, okay?

| love you, honey!

You can't even slam the door!

She like, opens the door and is like, “Hey, how you doing?

"Come on in." And I'm like,

"Hey, let's talk about all that incredibly offensive stuff

“that you said to me about my biggest life choice." Mmm.

And she's like, "No, that's all right.

"Let's just eat this egg dish and pretend like it didn't happen."

And I'm like, "I'm not gonna sit here and eat an egg dish with you

“after you insulted my fiance,

“who | love more than anything in the world."

Like, it's just crazy. Like, what is she thinking?

Mmm. I'm really sorry.

Baby, I'm sorry.

Oh, don't apologize to me. | mean, it's...

No, I'm sorry you have to deal with, like...

I'm sorry it's stressing you and your mom out.

It has nothing to do with her. This is our thing.

Right. And | feel like she's making it all about her.

Like, she's like at first, “Don't get married."

Then she's, "Get married. But get married the way | want you to get married."

Well, then let's just not do it. Let's not do it, then.

Not get married? No. (LAUGHS)

Yes, get married. Ryan, you scared me!

No, no. No. No. (SIGHS)

Let's not do like, a big wedding. Then what?

Let's just go down to the courthouse or the City Hall

and do it on our own.

Like, elope? Let's... Yes.

Yeah. Hey...

| want to be your husband so badly. Now.

So let's just eliminate all the complications.

You know? Hey...

Your mom is going to eventually be on board and when she is,

then we'll throw a big party and it'll be wonderful.

And she might even have grandkids by then.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Yeah.

But this is what we want.

You know? We know what we want.

Let's just do it.

Yeah. Let's do it.

| love you. | love you, too.

And this is my personal favorite room,

for a living room or a dining space.

Check out the windows. Wow.

And you're a painter, so this could be a beautiful studio space for you.

Oh.

Yeah. When we're done here I'll show you the rest of the grounds.

There's a full-time gardener. There's dry cleaning and laundry services.

24-hour onsite maintenance, of course.

And when we get downstairs, | will show you the outdoor fire pit and lounge.

We have a resident wine cellar

with climate-controlled bottle storage.

And all the equipment in the gym downstairs is state-of-the-art.

Plus daily fitness classes, yoga, spinning, Zumba.

And of course, we're walking distance to SFMOMA, the Yerba Buena Gardens,

and all the shops along Mission Street.

Good heavens. Zumba!

Well, and there's spinning. I've always wanted to do spinning, or try it anyway.

So why don't we, uh, go outside and look at the fire pit.

Okay.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

Mr. Smith, thank you so much for asking that question.

That is such an important question.

Um, as a mother myself, public safety is one of my utmost concerns.

And... With just... And Bob Little just cut you off,

‘cause you gave him a really long pause.

| have stage fright sometimes.

I'm trying to get through that. But we don't wanna

see that you have stage fright. | Know.

If I'm in the audience, I'm checking my cell phone. You're boring me.

Sorry. Um, uh... Where did...

You know what? Make it... Make it very specific.

If you talk about your children being safe

and how public safety affects them or...

I'm trying to do all that, but you keep interrupting me.

That's going to happen tonight.

It's a debate, okay? So just get used to it.

Mommy! Hey, my girl.

Are you kidding me right now? No, no, no, no.

Oh, just a little break.

Just a little hug. | know, | know. | can't. All right, come on.

I'm sorry, yeah. We're sorry about that.

Can you just give her a quick diaper change?

She's gonna handle the diaper change. Thank you.

I'll need a coffee in a second anyway. CHRIS: Okay.

Okay, I'm gonna throw a softball at you.

Sweating. My kids are in aclass with 32 kids this year.

What are you gonna do to improve the school system?

This is your wedge. This is your passion.

Totally. | got this. That's easy, | got it. Let me see it.

Improving our education system is the single biggest reason that

| wanted to become your mayor of Berkeley.

Uh, we've got to empower our students and our parents

with more choices and more access. Think about this.

| want to expand charters and magnets.

You're boring me. You're boring me!

Don't. I'm not done with my thought.

Yeah, | don't care about your thought.

| want you to be personal.

You're so negative right now.

Dig in. Dig in right there.

Ow! God! Right there, okay?

Talk about Max!

How the education system has affected him.

He's a child with special needs. And how it's not fair.

Okay, next.

That some children get discriminated against.

Blah, blah, blah. Next question.

I'm not talking about my son. I'm not talking about his Asperger's. I'm sorry.

I'll stick to the topics. But I'm not doing that.

Are you kidding me? This is the basis of our platform.

You don't want to talk about... No.

Why you're passionate about education... It's not...

Heather. I'm passionate about... How your son's been affected?

Education's my platform. Not my son.

Okay? That's it. He's off-limits. Next question. Go.

All right.

(MUSIC PLAYING) (SINGING)

Hey. These guys are sounding great!

The sound of, uh, five turds in perfect harmony.

What's your problem? | drove a Beetle bug to work.

Yeah? A sea foam green Beetle bug to work.

What, is your car in the shop or something?

No. My car is gone forever. It was used as a trade-in against a minivan.

A miniature van that Jasmine made us get. (LAUGHS) Are you serious?

Oh! Welcome to the club. Oh, you enjoy that?

Yeah. You seem very excited about that.

My brother Crosby's a minivan man.

You're in the club, bro. What's wrong, man? They're practical.

You like them? Easy in and out with the kids.

They can haul a lot of stuff.

They got to you. Listen to yourself.

You know you weren't always like this. Always like what?

Well, you Know, wearing corduroys and listening to Norah Jones

and going to bed before 11:00. What's wrong with corduroys?

Well, | don't need to compensate. You know?

I'm not afraid of the minivan.

Well, they're sending a direct, clear message to females.

(LAUGHS) Listen to me. You're a husband, you're a father, too.

You're a businessman. Okay?

A minivan is not age appropriate for...

You just got to be a little more responsible.

Even a 75-year-old man shouldn't drive around in a closet with four wheels.

You can keep swimming against the current, tiring yourself out.

Or you can slip on some corduroys and just relax, man.

Yeah. They're very comfortable, okay?

Or maybe | just get a tattoo across my forehead that says "neutered."

(LAUGHS) What do you think?

No, you're a minivan man now.

(OLIVER SINGING INDISTINCTLY)

Oh, it's one of the rock 'n roll kids.

How about that action, huh?

Sounded great. God, great. You want to go again?

No, that was perfect. That was the take.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Right?

Hey! Come on!

So, we were thinking of maybe doing about some day drinking?

Uh, I'm not a big midday drinker.

Yeah! You love midday drinking.

Come on. | don't want to get bloated.

I'm in. OLIVER: Ah! Somebody's a man.

All right. All right. OLIVER: Let's do this!

You want to join me? No, I'm good.

You afraid to soil your corduroys? You enjoy yourself.

Why did that guy yell at us?

Some people are just rude, sweetie.

That guy was awesome.

Oh, please let this not be a crazy person.

This isn't like trick-or-treating at all.

You said it'd be like trick-or-treating.

You fell for that? Stop!

This sucks. You're just too spoiled.

Okay! Okay!

Put on your good children faces.

Hey! Hey, Julia, hi!

You live here?

Yeah, this is my place.

Wow. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) What are you doing?

Uh. Oh. We were canvassing for my sister-in-law, who's running for mayor.

So I'm supposed to give you this whole spiel. But I'll soare you.

Sydney! Do you want to come in? Yeah!

No, Char, they're busy. Please, Mom?

Unless you want to take a break?

| mean, you can come in if you want. Oh.

A pit-stop. Ten minutes, okay? Perfect.

Okay. They're so well-behaved.

I've bribed them with computer games. (LAUGHS)

(KNOCKING) Hey.

Hi. How's it going?

Good. Yeah. Can | come in?

Am | gonna get in trouble for being here?

You're not gonna get in trouble, no. I'm always confused,

like I'm gonna get in trouble even though I'm a grown-up.

You're not. You're also not a grown-up. But...

That's rude. Um, what are you doing?

Nothing. I'm done. Okay.

What's up? (SIGHS) Not too much. Just, um...

You know, you're my best friend.

Most important person in the world to me. (LAUGHS)

So, um, basically Ryan and | have decided that we want to get married at City Hall.

And so we want you to be our special witness.

Why are you... Why are you doing that? What happened to the wedding?

Um, we just didn't want to do it anymore.

Like, a big to-do and like, all the stuff.

It just started to get, like, really stressful.

And | just don't want to deal with it anymore, you know?

So we're just gonna... Yeah.

We're just gonna do it. Okay? Okay.

Yeah. That's exciting! (LAUGHS)

When is it gonna be?

Um, probably like really soon.

Like, in the next couple of days.

My God. Everyone can make it?

Well, | mean, (SIGHS) it wouldn't be like, everyone.

Just family...

Well, it would probably just be like, us.

Like, you and me and Ryan and... What about Mom?

What about Mom?

|! mean, | understand...

You can't get married without Mom there, Amber.

I'm gonna tell her like, right after.

We'll have like, a thing or something. It's fine.

She'll be devastated.

Drew. | don't care. You know she would care.

Well, whatever. | don't care about Mom because I've tried to plan a wedding

with her and she's been really stressful about it and unsupportive

and it feels like she doesn't even want me to get married anyway.

So | don't even really want her to be there.

Yeah.

‘Cause it's not about her, you know? It's about what | want.

| know it's not. It's definitely not.

What? What's your problem?

I'm... I'm here for you. | just... | can't do that.

I'm not... I'm not saying l...

Amber, please, just think about...

The sushi boat at Elephant Sushi.

Oh! Amazing.

No, that's great. Yeah.

That's like the big like, pirate ship filled with sushi?

Yes. Yes!

Oh! Oh. That's good.

It's so good. Oh, my God. | miss expense accounts.

Oh, yeah.

| had the best purses.

So did I. (LAUGHS)

Oh, | miss so much.

Yeah. | pretty much miss everything.

Yeah. | mean, even the stuff | hated, | miss.

You know, | did this thing with my therapist one time.

You're in therapy? Oh, yeah, big time.

Like, a pie chart, and she said, "Give me alist of all the things

“that make you feel good about yourself and

“then you're gonna tell me what percentages they are."

| said, "Okay, um... So work."

And then | said, “Being a father."

Mmm-hmm.

She said, "What about hobbies?"

Hobbies? What are those? Exactly.

So, anyway, it's like, 75% work

and 25% being a father. Mmm-hmm.

| was really lying. It's more like 90%-10%.

You lie to your therapist?

Oh, yeah. All the time.

Come on. | don't want her to think I'm a jerk.

Yep. (LAUGHS)

But really, the point is,

like, | know | was a really good salesman.

Yeah.

I'm just not so sure I'm a good father.

Yeah. (SIGHS)

Well, at least you have a hobby now

with the sustainability committee.

Ah! Well, yeah, of course!

And that makes you feel great about yourself.

Green team! God.

Do you have any food? I'm hungry.

Oh, Victor, that's rude. I'm sorry.

You know, we should probably go. No, it's not...

Anyway, we should get going.

I'm starving.

The troops are hungry.

Uh... Fish sticks, 15 minutes?

Let's do it.

Okay.

You know what? 1am so sick of kid food.

Yes. Yeah. What do you say

we make something, | don't Know, like we used to eat when we were normal people?

Okay. (LAUGHS) All right.

| Knew it. You wait for us all to move out and then you build a pool.

It's not a pool. It's a fire pit for your mother.

What does she want with a fire pit?

Well, | just thought it'd be a nice little addition, that's all.

Weird.

You're getting a fire pit? | didn't even know you wanted a fire pit.

Neither did I.

(SIGHS)

How's Amber? How's the wedding planning going?

(SIGHS)

Uh-oh. What happened?

(SIGHS) | told her | thought she was too young.

Oh. Huh! How'd that go?

Oh, great. Really wonderful. She's not speaking to me. But besides that...

And you're surprised? Well, yes, I'm surprised.

I'm surprised she wouldn't want my opinion.

| mean, she's 21 years old. Why can't she wait?

She doesn't want to wait. She's in love and she wants to get married now.

What is that?

What?

Huh? I'm sorry, what? That's... That's... Oh!

Mother, it's not just like me and Seth.

It's not like me and Seth. It's not. It's exactly the same.

It's exactly the same.

No, it isn't.

How many times did we tell you, "Slow down and wait.

"What's the big rush? Why do you have to do it now?"

Remember? (SIGHS)

What do you think we should've said back then?

(SIGHS)

| Know what | wish we'd said.

What? Nothing.

Because you were gonna be with Seth anyway.

And because we said something, we kind of lost you there for a couple years.

And we missed you.

Those are my choices?

| just stand by and...

And watch her make a huge mistake,

or | lose my relationship with her altogether?

Amber's gonna do what her heart tells her to do.

You know, and maybe it'll be a mistake, and maybe it won't.

But you're gonna have to get out of her way.

It's hard.

Yeah.

It is, isn't it?

Here we go. Here we go. This one's it. This one's for the goal.

| make this one,

you guys have to live with the humiliation of then being beaten

by a guy who drives a minivan.

Drum roll, please!

ALL: Ohl!

Whoo-hoo! Yeah, baby!

Bottoms up!

I'll join you as an act of solidarity.

No, rematch! | want a rematch on that.

We're doing a do-over.

CROSBY: There's no rematches. (CELL PHONE RINGS)

OLIVER: Do-overs! | called do-overs.

Okay. Shh! It's my wife.

Hey, hon.

Yeah, looking forward to it.

Uh-huh.

Diaper cream. Got it. (LAUGHING)

Love you, too. Bye.

Okay, crap. | totally forgot that | have dinner at my mother-in-law's.

| got to go get soy ice cream right now for her

and some, uh, baby diaper rash cream.

Ah. I'm so soft. I'm outta here. Okay?

You guys got to come, too. Crosby.

You shouldn't drive.

I'm not gonna drive. I'm gonna take a cab over to the grocery store,

and then I'll take another one over to my mother-in-law's.

Why don't you just have your wife pick you up?

Light bulb! Yes. Yes. And then she could give... That's a good idea.

...US a lift home. She's not going to be up for that.

And then we would be responsible humans.

That could work. All right, I'm going to call her.

Oh, and there's a sweet burger joint that we could hit on the way home.

Yeah, | do want a burger. Honey! Hey, could you...

Don't be mad at me, please.

Could you think you could pick me up at the Luncheonette with my...

A couple of my good buddies?

Okay, so that one's done.

How many single new home building permits were approved in 2012?

| like red. Max. | don't have to know that for sure.

Five. No, you're wrong. The answer's five.

No, it's too gathered in the center.

It's in the packet. You told me to quiz you on what's in the packet.

| don't have to know the exact number. | just have to have a take on it.

You don't know this at all. You're not gonna be ready for the debate.

| couldn't even memorize all of these and | have a really excellent memory.

| know that, babe. HEATHER: Okay, um, this green?

My memory's a lot better than yours. | like this.

But you don't really have to worry about the debate,

because the poll said that it's statistically impossible for you to win.

No, Max. No, it's not. Don't say that.

MAX: Well, it's not absolutely impossible because

Harry Truman won the presidential election in 1948.

See? Look at that. Okay.

With only .17% of the primary popular vote. Do you have nail polish on?

This one. I'll use that one.

But then he dropped an atomic bomb on Japan.

I'm not gonna drop an atomic bomb on anybody.

Oh, my God. It smells stale. (SNEEZES)

Please. I'm... | think the reason you're doing so bad in the polls...

Oh, my God! ...1S because you don't have a vending machine.

| promised everybody a vending machine... All right!

Oh, my gosh! This looks amazing.

Well, you made the sauce. | just plated it.

Well, you have excellent plating skills. (LAUGHS)

It's better than ours.

No, it's not. Trust me.

Oh, God. That's... (SNIFFS) Oh, it's disgusting.

Isn't it, Julia? Uh-huh. | can barely choke this down.

This is... (LAUGHS)

You're lying. Mmm, no. Well, maybe a little bit.

Sydney, don't forget your carrots.

At home we only have to eat four carrots.

Four carrots? What kind of hovel are you running over there?

Listen... Four?

How about more than four tonight? Hello?

Mommy!

Hi! Hi, guys! (CLEARS THROAT)

Oh! Hey!

Colleen, you remember Julia.

Hi! Uh, Victor and Sydney's mom.

Hi! Uh... Yes. Yes! Hi, Julia.

How are you? I'm good, thank you! We're just, um...

Um, we were just leaving. We were canvassing the neighborhood.

My sister-in-law's running for mayor.

And then the kids ran into each other, and they were hungry,

and so here we are. And... But we're just leaving.

So, let's go. | didn't get to finish my dinner.

That's okay. ED: You don't have to leave! They can finish their dinner.

No, no, no, no. That's so kind of you,

but Daddy's waiting for us at home.

| didn't even finish my carrots either. That's okay.

Let's go now.

Come on, Victor, let's go.

And, um... It was so great to see you, Colleen.

It was really nice to see you. Thanks.

Yeah. Have a good night!

You guys, too. Good luck with the campaign.

Yes! Thank you. Bye.

No problem. See you soon!

You hungry?

Yeah.

JASMINE: Who's got the, uh, double cheeseburger?

ALL: Me! Me, me!

Oh, hey! Hey, hey, hey!

No fighting or no one gets anything.

I'm gonna watch the baby every night this week, | promise.

Good, for two weeks. Here you go. Okay.

How'd you get such a hot wife?

| Knocked her up. Oh, God.

All right, listen up! We have to be home in 20 minutes.

So whoever lives the closest, that's where everyone is getting out. So...

We all live together.

(LAUGHS HUMORLESSLY)

Of course you do. They live together!

Oh, wait, wait. Wait! Oh, you have television in this car!

Yes, we do. What do we watch? What do we get to watch?

Well, you get SpongeBob and Adventure Time, those are your choices.

Oh! Oh, Adventure Time!

Yes, that's the right pick. There you go.

Adventure Time, it is.

OLIVER: Oh! | want to live in this vehicle of the future!

Crosby? Yeah.

You have the best wife ever.

Yeah. She's all right.

(DOOR OPENING)

Hi, Daddy! Ohl! :

Hey! There you are. Wow.

Hey, guys! Look at you. What is this?

Hey, studly. How are ya? Look at you guys! Awesome.

This is something here.

Ah, this is, uh... This would be dinner.

| see that. | thought, uh, you know, back in the day,

we used to eat as a family.

| thought we could maybe do that again.

So, Chicken Parmesan. We already ate.

Well... Fish sticks.

Not your kind. A snack, on a play date.

Listen, if you guys aren't hungry, why don't you go find something to watch on TV.

lam starving. TV?

On a school night? On a school night.

Let's go. lam...

Wow, you must really be hungry.

lam starving. If you're letting them watch TV ona school night.

I'm starving, myself. | didn't have any fish sticks.

Okay, good. Um...

| wanted to say I'm sorry. | felt really bad for bailing on canvassing.

Oh. And, uh, | just... I...

| Know | have been really stressed

and just wanted to say that, uh, you've been doing such a good job with these two.

And, um, and | couldn't be able...

Be able to do what I'm doing without you, SO...

So, thank you.

Ready to eat all of this?

All of it.

I'm So... (MICROPHONE FEEDBACK)

Sorry.

I'm so glad that you asked that question.

As a citizen of Berkeley for the past 25 years,

and a mother of three, public safety is my utmost concern.

Just learning how to navigate. BOB: | can attest to that.

Kristina and | worked together.

| was... And she is a wonderful mother.

Thank you.

But | think it's a little bit more complicated than that.

(MOUTHING)

As the Comptroller of Berkeley, during my tenure...

You cut back on police foot patrols in almost every neighborhood.

Sorry to interrupt, Bob. Couldn't help myself.

I'm so glad that you brought that up, Tony.

You know, when my daughter was little, she used to walk to school by herself.

She's now in college... I'm sorry, Kristina,

I'd just like to finish this one thought, only because it's so important.

And Tony, thank you for the opportunity.

Peace of mind is absolutely worth it.

And that's why as Comptroller... (MOUTHING)

...L laid the groundwork for a new system.

Residents themselves could review crime data within their own neighborhood

and across the city.

Opening the doors of City Hall is just the beginning of a dialogue between

the Mayor's office and the good people of this community.

So that you don't just know what decisions we're making, but why we're making them.

And shouldn't the good people of Berkeley expect that out of their government?

Thank you.

(APPLAUSE)

BOB: Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Little. Anyone else?

Next question comes from Caroline Lee.

Hi. Hi, Caroline.

Hi, Caroline.

Um, my question is about my daughter.

We're new to town and I've just put Emma in the public school system.

Um, Emma is special needs, she's deaf.

And over and over, I've been promised that she would have more help.

And she doesn't. And...

Well, actually, you know, | have some experience in this arena.

I'd love to just jump on this question.

As a product of the Berkeley public school system myself,

| can attest that the school system here is probably the best in the state.

You know what, Bob? With all due respect,

| think Caroline was talking about the school system now,

not when you were there. Sorry.

So, Caroline, how old is your daughter? She's 10.

And | have an 8-year-old son. Oh.

| have a son Max, he's 13.

And, um, he was in the public school system.

He was. And then he went to private, now he's back in public.

So when | say that | understand what you're going through,

believe me, my husband and l,

we understand what you're going through completely.

You know, people say that the Berkeley public school system is

one of the best in the state.

And | tend to agree with that.

And while they work for most kids,

what Caroline and | understand is that what works for some kids,

doesn't always work for all kids. Like your Emma and my Max.

And if that isn't the case, then | feel like the system is broken.

My son has Asperger's Syndrome.

And, um, my husband and | have fought

the system time and time again to make sure he gets what he needs.

(VOICE SHAKING) That he's not overlooked.

And | can see that that's how you're feeling right now. (CHUCKLES) Yeah.

To say the least.

You know, my son, Max, is a fighter.

And I'm telling you what, he will not give up until he gets what he wants.

And sometimes, as a parent, that can be a little challenging.

I'm sure you all can...

Can relate to that. (LAUGHTER)

But on behalf of Max, I've become a fighter, too.

And if I'm elected your mayor of Berkeley, | promise to fight for you.

| promise to fight for your specific child.

To make sure that she gets what she needs.

| can promise you that.

You know, I'm just gonna, um...

Okay. So sorry. I...

I'll be right back.

I'd like to give you my number.

| want you to call me. | mean that.

| will fight for you and | will work for you.

| promise. | will do whatever it takes.

Thank you. | just want to give you a hug.

(CROWD CHEERING)

Millie! Millie, Millie!

Check her out, come on! If you will.

What do you think?

Oh, Zeek. Thanks for doing this for me.

Yeah. Guess what?

Contain yourself.

(CHUCKLES)

Huh? Look at this!

Yep. It's beautiful.

| talked to Linda, the real estate agent.

And | told her we weren't interested in the condo. So...

Ah, jeez. Well, | never said that.

Oh, come on, Zeek. | Know you too well. You'd be miserable there.

You'd hate it.

Okay. I'm sorry, Millie. | tried, you know?

| Know you did.

My art class is going to Italy for a month.

I've known about it for a while, but | didn't say anything

because | knew you'd be uncomfortable with my being away for that long.

But they leave on Friday.

And I've decided that | want to go.

So, I'm gonna go.

By myself.

Huh, not bad.

Hey. Oh, hey.

What you doing?

I'm, uh... I'm embracing the minivan.

Really? Yeah, | like it.

I'm starting to...

I've discovered some things.

Really? Like what? Yeah, yeah.

Check this out. Ooh!

The seat reclines in the back. Ooh, wait a minute.

Are you kidding me?

Uh-huh. Yeah. You like that, huh? Yeah, uh...

Uh-huh. Hmm. See?

It's not so bad, huh?

It's good, right? Yeah.

| mean, if I've got to own a minivan with anyone, I'm glad it's you.

Really? Yeah.

Aw! Me, too.

You, too? Yes! (CHUCKLING)

Mom! Mom!

Yes, babe. Look at this.

KRISTINA: Huh.

Mom, you won the debate! You're a Statistical anomaly!

lam. ADAM: How about that?

I'm a statistical anomaly. You always have been.

You still have a lot of work to do because you're really behind in the polls, so...

Why don't we just enjoy this? Let your mom have a day off.

I'm a statistical anomaly.

No, you don't get a day off if you work in politics.

| mean, look! You came from behind and you won the debate.

You could actually win this thing.

It's official, honey, you're a contender.

| could actually win this thing. Yeah, you could.

| could win.

There's an article | like a lot, too, on the back here.

"Cost of energy is acid test for gubernatorial candidates."

(CONTINUES READING INDISTINCTLY)

Hi. Sorry, it's so early. Hey.

It's okay. What's up? (WHISPERS) Are you up? Or is he up?

He's not up yet. He's still sleeping.

But we were up late last night.

But what's... What's going on?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

| trust you and | believe in you.

Can we please do this together?

Of course. (SNIFFLING) Yeah?

(SOBBING) Yeah.

Oh, my girl. Oh, my girl!

| missed you so much.

You're so much smarter than | was. You're nothing like me.

He's nothing like Dad. Okay?

| Know that, really.

Okay? | just don't want to miss out.

| don't want to miss out.

Okay? Thank you.
