Original subtitles

You got a text from Ed Brooks.

You guys have been texting each other a lot lately.

What are you doing here? I've called you five times.

And I've texted you... That's my fault, ‘cause...

This is not about you, Peet. Julia.

We will talk about this when | get home.

Are you taking those pills again?

It's an old prescription from before. | don't even need it.

| felt like you were hiding it from me.

No, I'm not hiding anything from you.

Are you okay? She's fine. Take your hands off her, dude.

Hey! Ryan, no! (GRUNTS)

| just got off the phone with Bob Little

and | conceded the election.

MAN ON RADIO. ...tal/king about the win of Bob Little over Kristina Braverman.

It was a very close race.

WOMAN: Yes, it was, Michael.

Mmm. So good.

That's the good thing about losing. More cake for us.

Kristina. What?

What? You don't have to keep it together.

You're not in a room full of campaign workers. It's just me.

Honey, I'm fine.

I'm totally fine.

| didn't know how much this campaign...

Okay, all right. Well, maybe I'm not fine.

| mean, | personally would like to take a sledgehammer to a Bob Little cake,

right about now. Mmm-hmm, | mean...

Look, that campaign took a lot out of me, honey.

I'm excited to have my life back, be with the kids.

Okay. | get to cook again. It's fine.

Dig in!

"Congratulations, Ma Braverman."

Exactly, "Ma Braverman". There you go. She's back.

Bob Little is being interviewed on the news again.

Okay, Max. Why don't we turn the TV off?

He called mom "a worthy opponent" on channels two, four, six and seven.

KRISTINA: Hey, buddy. And she is.

If you turn off the TV, I'll give you a fork.

ADAM: You think this is a good idea? Yeah, it's fine.

It's a lot of sugar. No plate.

It is not unlimited cake. No, nothing.

Just dig right in. Okay, take it easy.

Can you take it easy on your mother's face please?

Wow. Honey, look how crazy this looks.

I'll get you Bob Little. (CACKLING)

(LAUGHING)

You like that? Oh, yeah?

You stop it! You stop.

Stop!

MAN: I'm freezing!

Hil

Oh, there you are. Finally! Hi.

Mrs. Deitchman, | got your messages about the heat.

I'm so sorry. He's going to be here

first thing in the morning to fix it. First thing in the morning?

Oh, no. How are we gonna survive the night?

(STAMMERING) Uh, extra blanket.

It's freezing. We need heat. Yes. | understand. | mean...

It's California, come on, guys.

We can all just huddle up under a blanket.

I'm freezing, honey. This is ridiculous.

She's not taking us seriously. Oh, no...

lam taking you seriously.

Sarah, | need you to look at something in my apartment.

| Know about the heat, Carl. It's not about that.

Now, please.

Oh. I'm sorry, I've got another problem. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Listen, | Know, I'm freezing too.

Hey! Thank you.

What is going wrong in here? Plumbing again?

No problem in here. Yeah, the problem's out there.

Oh! (CHUCKLES)

It's warm in here.

Why is it warm in here?

Well, the thing is, we live two blocks from a drugstore.

And yet it takes a genius to go down there and buy a few space heaters.

Hmm!

Well, | don't know about genius, but...

And | have wine. Which | got at the wine store...

Hmm. ...next to the drug store.

| saved you from an angry mob.

That was genius.

Why don't you have a glass with me?

Oh, that's okay. It's late. But, thank you.

Or you could just talk to Mrs. Deitchman in the hallway.

Maybe just one. (CHUCKLES)

Hey.

What if the kids come downstairs?

| don't want them to Know that we're fighting.

I'll tell them | fell asleep watching TV or something.

Okay.

(SIGHS) Joel...

Babe, this is not what we do.

This is not us.

Not making up.

Sleeping on the couch.

Look, I'm really sorry

that | barged in on you...

(SNIFFS)

And that | spoke to Peet that way.

| should not have done that.

But l...

Joel, | don't wanna spend the night like this.

This scares me.

Babe...

We have to try to fix this.

For the kids.

For us.

Okay.

We'll try.

Okay.

| bet Mrs. Deitchman is still waiting out there in the hallway.

Poor Gladys. You know what,

she's kind of mistaking Berkeley for Nagqu.

Where?

Nagqu, uh, it's in Tibet.

Uh, | did some work there and it gets freezing.

But you adjust... And you adjust,

and Gladys... Do you? You adjust?

Says the man with the 10 space heaters.

Adjusting to the nice cozy, cozy warmth.

It's nice the way they swivel, though.

(LAUGHS)

You know, you're not, um...

You're no longer my most annoying tenant.

Not possible.

No, no, no. You've been dethroned

by Mrs. Deitchman. That's not fair.

Mrs. Deitchman has multiple pets in a cat-free building.

Oh, la, la, la! Yeah, | told you.

| do not Know about the cats. ! outed Mrs. Deitchman.

(POWER SHUTS DOWN)

Uh-oh. Oh, you're kidding me!

Yeah, it's official.

What? You're a slumlord now.

No! Yes.

| had nothing to do with this.

This has to be because of the heaters.

This has gotta be specific to your apartment.

Well, | don't know how that could be possible.

The whole building is not out.

Listen, just knock off 10 bucks from my rent.

I'll go flip the breaker.

Excuse me, I'll flip the breaker.

Okay, Super.

Yeah. Go ahead, flip the breaker.

Okay. | mean, you know where it is, right?

| Know where the breaker is in this apartment.

It's... It's, uh...

(SIGHS)

Hey. Hey.

Oh, my God, Zack.

That's okay. You should see the other guy.

Yeah, I'm fine, by the way.

And make sure you tell G.I. What's-his-ass.

Tell him he cost us a week in the studio.

Hold on. I'm sorry. A week in the studio.

And that's just my money going to waste. I'm sorry, Oliver.

Yeah, apparently you can't drum without, you know, two hands.

| don't even know what to say. I'm so sorry.

ADAM: Amber. It's okay.

Crosby and | want to see you up in the office.

It's all right.

I'm sorry.

Hey, Drew. Can! ask you a loaded question?

Yeah, what's up?

What's your deal with Natalie?

What do you mean?

Well, | have some information.

But first I've got to know what your deal is,

so | know how to deliver it.

Um, | mean...

She's my friend. We're friends.

What do you mean? What's the information?

Dude. If she's your girlfriend,

it's not good.

Oh, well, uh...

She's not. So, what's up?

Look, it's just that

last night | saw her macking on some other dude at Zeta Gamma Pi.

Oh.

Oh, dude. You're not bumming, are you?

No.

| hope you're not pissed | told you. | just...

Felt like | needed to be a bro here.

Yeah. Thanks, um...

Thanks for being a bro and all that.

Anytime, hombre. Anytime.

We're not really dating.

We're kinda like friends with benefits, you know?

Huh. No harm in that, man.

Just make sure that next time you hit that, you wear a condom.

Because she is giving benefits to all of her friends.

Um, well, thank you, Berto,

for telling me that.

| just... | really want to say one thing.

Okay. | totally understand

how serious this is, and the consequences,

and | will clear out my desk if I'm fired.

| won't make a problem... No, we're not firing you.

But you're right, this is serious.

And we're lucky that the band didn't press charges.

(SIGHS) Thank God.

Thank you, guys. I'm sorry.

Amber, are you Okay?

| mean, yeah, I'm fine.

Because, you know, has he ever gotten violent with you?

Oh, my God. No. Because that...

No, you guys.

He's not like that at all.

He would never, ever do that.

We didn't think so. Never.

All right, but just, we're saying that...

He's not that guy. ..If that ever does happen,

you have to tell us. You gotta promise us.

Of course! Guys... Tell us or you tell your mom.

Okay? Of course. But l...

But he would never do that.

He's a really good guy. He...

All right, Amber, listen, we like the guy. But...

Until this blows over,

Ryan doesn't come to The Luncheonette.

| understand.

Okay, all right.

Did you tell your mom about it?

Um...

Not yet. But... But you're going to.

Yeah. | will, | promise. Good.

(SIGHS)

Hey. a

KRISTINA: You seriously are the most efficient person

I've ever met in my entire life.

No, | just didn't want you to have to look at all this junk.

Oh, it's okay.

I'm actually feeling pretty good, you know.

Yeah? Well, I'm pissed. Considering...

lam.

You Know, we came close. And our message got out there.

Yeah, yeah. And | feel like.

You know, we got a lot of attention for education. That was good.

But we didn't win, SO...

And you know, I've worked for several candidates,

and you always want your person to win.

But this one stung.

| swear. And it's...

It's that you would have made an amazing mayor.

You really would have. Yeah.

You know what? | would have...

| would have made a damn good mayor.

You would have made the best.

Well, what else can | help you with? Anything?

Uh...nothing. | mean, I've pretty much got everything.

| guess all that's left is the hugging.

Yeah.

Thank you.

It was a real pleasure.

Yeah, come here.

JULIA: Stop with the hitting, can you?

VICTOR: | told her... SYDNEY: You're ridiculous.

Guys! Dad!

Hey! How are you guys? JULIA: Hi!

What are you doing home so early?

Ah, you know. I, uh...

Did you quit your job like mom did?

No, bug. | didn't quit my job.

| just decided to come home alittle early so we could, uh,

make pizza together. Now...

Who wants to pick out the first toppings?

BOTH: | do! All right.

Hands need to be washed first.

You savages. (KIDS LAUGHING)

This is really nice.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

All right, so what do we want on this baby?

SYDNEY: | want cheese and pineapple, and some of these peppers.

VICTOR: Pineapple, and tomatoes and those...

Well, we'll just have to split it down the middle.

(SCREAMING) Yah!

JOEL: And that's gonna be a delicious pie.

All right, let's do this.

(SIGHING)

Hey. Hi.

Uh...

| thought you were... | thought you were going to be at work.

Yeah, | didn't go in.

Ryan... | called in sick.

It's pretty much true. I'm like...

| haven't eaten all day. I'm going crazy here.

(SIGHS)

| want to know what we're doing.

| don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

| don't know! | haven't...

(SIGHING)

| had a very intense day

trying to pick up the pieces of this.

I'm sorry.

You know, I've been at work all day,

at my dream job, that | worked really hard to get,

defending you and...

You know, we're losing money because of what you did to Zack.

He's So messed up, he can't even play.

Tell your uncles I'll pay them back. Every penny.

It doesn't matter. It's not about that.

I'll go in there and apologize...

No, don't. You can't. You can't go in there.

They don't...

They don't even wanna see you.

They don't even want you to come there after you...

(EXASPERATED SIGH)

(SIGHING) Hmm.

What about us?

(SIGHING)

| don't know.

| don't know what to do.

No?

| love you.

| love you too,

and this is the problem. This is the problem.

| can't keep overlooking the things

that are happening in the real world,

just because | love you so much.

| can't. Things have been perfect.

Things have been perfect? They have been.

Ryan. What?

You know, you do this thing where you...

You disconnect from me and | let it go.

What are you talking about?

The thing with the pills. You know you lied...

You lied to my face...

No, | didn't. ...about taking those pills.

There was nothing to say about either of those things.

Yes, you did. You did lie. What do you mean?

What? That a doctor gave you the prescription,

but you weren't... He gave me those pills and | don't wanna take them.

So, you're not taking them? Okay? No, uh...

You can't even tell me.

You don't even trust me enough to tell me the truth.

The truth is they're pills that were given to me for anxiety.

| didn't even want them. And | took one... | took two today.

See? This is the thing. It's not about whether or not you take the pills,

it's about the fact that you don't trust me enough

to be honest with me and tell me! I'm your partner!

I'm not hiding anything from you. I'm just having a hard time.

Do you understand? Well, so am I.

I'm trying to... I'm having a hard time and | feel alone,

because | can't find you.

So | need some time to think about whether or not

this is gonna work in the real world. Period, okay?

So that's it? | mean...

Sarah? Hey! Hi.

| was just coming in from outside.

Really? Cause it looked like you were Yeah.

going out and then you Saw me and you went back in.

(LAUGHING) No! No, no, I... |, um...

Well, you're right, | was, um, l...

| was coming out, but then | forgot something,

so I'm just going to go back inside

and get the thing | forgot.

Back in. | come back out. You know, in and out.

Okay.

I'm so glad we cleared that up.

Yeah.

SO, going in. You're going in.

Uh, yeah, dying for coffee.

Bye, Carl! Maybe we should have coffee and talk later?

I'm trying to study, Natalie.

I'm bored.

All right, well I'm sure that there's a frat party or something

that you could go to, So...

What?

What was that comment? Nothing!

Did you have fun the other night at Zeta Gamma Pi?

Whatever that was.

Were you there? No. No.

| was not at a frat party.

| was watching House Hunters or something

with those girls down the hall.

You hook up with any of them?

No. We were watching House Hunters.

You could've, if you wanted to.

Like, really wouldn't bother me.

Okay, I'm very confused.

| was under the impression that it was just us hanging out.

Or hanging out. Whatever.

Drew, you're so sweet.

Frankly, sweet just starts to get boring.

|! wasn't bored, but...

Hey, come on. I'm offering you no strings attached, noncommittal sex here.

It's like Christmas come early.

So you think about that.

Let me know if you still want to be sweet.

All right. Where are they?

Right here. Yeah.

All right. Snug as a bug in a rug.

Night. Love you.

Night, sweetie. Can we get a pool?

Uh...

No, we can't.

How come?

Well, because, uh, California Building Code

would make ita paperwork nightmare.

Oh... Okay?

Well, Charlotte's getting a pool.

She's gonna have two houses now.

Her mommy is going to live in one and her dad's going to live in the other.

Her dad's house is going to have a pool.

SO can we go swimming there?

Sweetie, let's talk about this tomorrow, all right?

Love you. Sweet dreams.

| didn't have any idea that Ed was separating.

Okay.

We gotta get Victor to bed.

Okay.

So, that guy's not going to press charges.

Oh, there you go. That's a good thing.

Yeah, | guess. | mean...

It doesn't change the fact that Amber still saw me lose it on him, you know?

| just couldn't take it, Zeek.

It was like every time | came around, he's taunting me,

they're baiting me, you know?

And then they're standing there,

like they've just created a miracle because they've recorded some song,

like it's the most important thing in the world.

This kid has no idea what's important.

You know? What's really important.

ZEEK: Yeah.

Yeah. | remember when | got back it was, uh...

Always funny to me how people got all

twisted up about stuff that didn't matter,

that wasn't important. Well...

You know, what happened, though, was important to Amber.

Yeah, | mean, that's the worst part of it.

| let her down and, uh...

| don't know. Maybe Sarah's right.

Maybe I'm not good enough for her.

Well, Amber's her baby.

There's never gonna be anybody

that's good enough to marry her baby. Yeah.

What about you? What do you think?

| think you guys made a decision to get married.

| think that's a good thing.

And | think you're trying,

and that's the most important thing.

lam trying so hard.

And that's the thing, is like, aS much as I'm trying here, I...

It makes me just think, "Screw it." You know?

"Screw this life."

And then | go back, | think... Wait a minute, hold on.

What are you talking about?

Are you talking about... No, no. No.

No, I'm saying screw this civilian life.

This... Trying to do this.

You know, Zeek, | hated Afghanistan. You know?

| hated it.

But at least there, everything makes sense.

You know? Like, everything.

Everything there, mattered, you know?

It's important. And then it's like...

| feel like, | can't get my mind off of that place.

| just can't disconnect from over there. You know?

It's like | can't shake it. | just feel out of sync here still.

| feel like | just...

Well, you're gonna have to decide which world you belong in, son.

It's, uh... It's hard.

Hmm.

This is So nice, honey. Mmm-hmm.

You know?

Just the three of us at the park.

We haven't done this in so long.

Yeah, it's been a long time.

What've you got there, Nora?

There she goes.

What's in there?

What about work, though, are you gonna get in trouble?

No. | think work can wait for family time.

Good. Yeah.

Hey. Excuse me.

| don't mean to, interrupt this, uh...

Just, aren't you that woman who's running for mayor?

Um, I'm Kristina Braverman.

Yes, | was.

Hi. Well, this is quite the celebrity sighting here in our little sandbox.

Well, | don't know about that, but...

Actually, this is perfect timing.

| don't know if you know this, but our slide over there

has been like, cracked and messed up forever.

It's got duct tape on it. It's really a hazard, and so,

| mean, would it be totally unethical of me to promise you my vote

if you could agree to get it fixed?

| Know, my oldest daughter, she just loves the slide.

So... Oh, well, I, um...

The election was a couple days ago.

And | lost, so...

Oh, I'm sorry. It's okay.

Awkward.

Sure, it's okay. No, it's okay.

It was a close race.

Kind of a low voter turnout, though.

Not a lot of concerned citizens.

Right.

Uh, so now that you've lost what are you going to do? What's next?

We are gonna build some sandcastles with our daughter.

Sure. Got it.

Well, if you could do something about the slide,

that would be really great.

Because, you know, your daughter could get hurt on that thing, so...

What was that? | don't know.

What am | supposed to do, duct tape it?

You gotta fix that slide.

You gotta fix... She has to fix that slide.

Somebody could get hurt, okay?

It could be your daughter.

This is serious. Stop it!

DREW: Well, the thing is that | like her,

but she's completely open about, like,

hooking up with other guys, which feels very weird

saying in front of the baby. It's fine?

Oh, hooking up? She can't retain anything.

They don't hear? | don't think.

She still wants to hook up with me though, also.

Ooh, that's good. Yeah.

And it's... This is bad timing...

The baby and all? No, no, | just...

| have to bounce, if | don't bounce she'll wake up,

and then we can't talk about your girl problem.

Which so far doesn't really sound like a problem. What's...

Yeah, | know. You don't like hooking up or...

| don't know what the problem is.

| don't know what's wrong with me.

Well, there's nothing wrong with you.

Yeah? For sure. No, there's nothing wrong...

Do you wanna have this conversation over a beer? | feel like...

First of all, am | allowed to give you a beer?

It's like, 9:00, though.

It's 9:00? Yeah.

Okay, I've been up since 5:00, so It kinda felt,

| guess, like It was noon. It doesn't matter. Oh, yeah?

Listen, | think what's going on is that you're a one woman guy.

That's just who you are. You know?

Yeah, | just tell her that?

No, no. Don't tell her that.

I'm identifying what type of person you are currently.

Which is not to say that you can't evolve into some other type of person.

Like me.

| used to be like Natalie, you know?

Playing it fast and loose, spreading it real thin.

Liberated, whatever.

Now, | have someone that | love,

that | think is perfect, and I'm happy as a clam.

So | changed, right?

| mean, she could change, | guess.

No, no, no. Drew, you're me in this metaphor.

But backwards.

| don't get it. You're upside down, inverted.

| don't... I'm confused...

You're not loosey-goosey, but maybe you'll learn to.

Listen, okay. I'm going to lay it out there.

And if you tell your mother | told you this, I'm just going to deny it.

And then it's just going to be your word against mine.

And | have a lot more history with her. All right.

You are young.

This is your one opportunity.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Sleep around, have some experiences.

You know, get good at your craft.

Because when it ends, it's gonna end permanently.

You hear me?

The brakes don't just fade in, they lock up.

You know when the last time | had sex was?

No. Do the math backwards from this one.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

So you feel better?

Yeah, | feel all right. Okay.

So, enjoy yourself.

Enjoy your freedom. Enjoy your youth.

(CLEARING THROAT) CARL: Yeah, coming.

We can't sleep together again.

Well, hello to you too.

Hello. We can't sleep together again.

Was | offering?

No. But you will and | just want to clear it up, before it happens.

We can't sleep together again. Okay? Thank you.

Okay, Sarah, wait. Hang on.

(SIGHS) Uh, I'm not sure what's going on here,

but it was a lovely evening.

| had a lovely time, and I'm not sure

why you're being so guarded.

But I... (CHUCKLING) Listen. Okay, yeah,

it was a lovely evening, okay?

But I'm 42 years old. Okay.

| can't just be going around having lovely evenings, okay?

| need to be focusing on myself and on my career.

And you know, yes, someday,

maybe | will find a guy who is age appropriate,

who isn't crazy, who doesn't have substance abuse problems

and socially not awkward, and you're...

Some of those things, but it's not about you.

Good, because I'm age appropriate. So | got that covered.

Okay, well I'm trying to set a boundary.

And So... Here it is.

Respect it. And... Okay?

Okay. Okay.

J All my life

I I've gone too far (PHONE CHIMES)

J The cause was mine | know

f All my thoughts You saw all my thoughts

J Did you hear my cries (PHONE CHIMES)

f As you watched me fall But you paid no mind to them

I /'m just tired And are you thankful? J

(STOVETOP CLATTERS)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR) ED: Come on in!

Hey, Julia. Hey!

I'm moving out for a while.

Yeah, | heard.

Colleen thought it would be easier to sort things out this way.

Actually, | think she's more interested in sorting out

how quickly she can find a divorce attorney.

You know a good one?

Sorry. That's a bad joke.

| haven't really been sleeping this week.

(SIGHS) Ed, um...

| need you to stop calling me and the emails and...

What? It's just...

It's inappropriate.

It's not fair to Joel.

And to me.

Wow.

You came here in person to tell me that.

Wow, that just is, uh,

the cherry on top of an awesome week.

(SIGHS)

Actually, | wanted to ask you something else

that | didn't feel | could really ask you over the phone.

So | can't call you, but you can come over here to ask me something?

Nah, it's okay. Go ahead. I...

I'd love to hear what you want to ask.

All of this? This is not...

My fault, is it?

My marriage is falling apart

because | lost who | was a long time ago.

And | couldn't figure out how to make myself happy.

But pretending you're happy is almost worse than...

Being miserable.

I'm sorry. No, it's okay.

I'm actually okay with...

Being miserable for a while.

You know, at least if you're honest about it,

you can, you know, wallow in it a little bit.

So that's what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna go back to my tiny little divorced dad apartment,

and I'm gonna get this big old man chair

that Colleen would never let me get,

and I'm gonna sit, and I'm gonna wallow

in the bittersweet melancholy of waking up one day and realizing

that your life didn't turn out the way you planned.

But that's not what you asked.

No, Julia, you're not the reason

that my marriage is falling apart.

I'm so sorry you're going through all of this.

It'll be okay.

You're gonna be okay too.

(SIGHS)

Julia...

(SIGHS)

DREW: All right, | gave the booty call thing... (NATALIE LAUGHING)

... whatever we want to call it, a consideration,

and | think that we should do it. NATALIE: Okay.

Okay, but | want to have rules, all right?

Rules? Yes.

I'm pretty sure rules violates the spirit

of the spontaneous booty call. Okay, | need rules.

They're for me, all right? Okay.

Because | do not want to go to some frat party

and see you making out with some guy.

It'd be very awkward. SO... Okay, true.

| hear that, but when do you ever go to any frat party,

like, ever? Okay. All right, thank you.

That was rude, but we'll continue. No. (LAUGHING)

It wasn't rude.

It was true. Okay. Frat parties are your zone, okay?

That's where you can go do whatever you want to do.

All right? All right, my zone.

Yes. So what's your zone?

Mine's...

It's to be determined, all right?

(LAUGHING) It's so weird. Yes, this is very weird.

But, you know, you wanted this free-spirited thing,

and | just need rules.

Maybe this isn't a good idea.

Maybe it's not.

Um, but maybe we should just try it.

(SIGHS) Maybe we should be just friends.

Like just friends.

No benefits. | don't...

That's not what I'm saying. | don't want to do that.

It doesn't seem like that's what you want either.

No. | mean, | really like you.

And you like me too.

Yeah, | do like you.

It's just not enough?

I'm really sorry. | thought we were just, like...

Fooling around and having fun.

| wasn't trying to hurt you with it.

It wasn't my intention.

Okay, I'm gonna leave.

So you can be furious with me in private.

Just don't be mad for too long.

I'd really miss being your friend.

(COUGHS)

(EXHALING) Contact high.

Whoo! So, come on.

How much did that little creep beat you by?

Gwen, | don't want to talk about it. Come on.

Just tell me. I'm not here to talk about it.

I'm here to visit and see you, and...

Was it a landslide? | don't want to talk about it.

Was it my one vote? It was two... Two points.

Two points? Yes.

What is that?

That is 947 votes.

Damn. | Know.

That's like one building of people.

That's got to haunt you.

That has got to kill.

(CHUCKLES) Stop it. Sorry.

It's not nice. I'm dying.

It's like a hall pass to be blunt.

Plus I'm really high.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Do you want some? No, I'm good.

Come on. No. I'm good.

| don't want any... Are you square?

No. You're a little bit square.

I'm not. | used to smoke that all the time.

You smoked 'cause you had cancer.

No, | smoked because | liked it.

Oh? | liked it.

Well, there's your two points right there.

You got to go after the stoners, baby.

It's Berkeley. 947 stoners, not hard to find.

Mmm-hmm.

What's wrong?

Come on. Nothing.

Come on. Nothing's wrong.

You know I'm just rambling, right?

| just, | feel like, | don't know.

He went negative.

And if | would've gone negative,

| think that would've been the difference.

You know? It's like...

It does haunt me.

| didn't do it. Listen, so what?

Next time. Next time.

Next time. If you want to do it, you can do it.

That's the thing about beating cancer.

You get a next time. You can do whatever you want.

Do whatever you want.

I'm just sorry |! won't be around to see it.

(SCOFFS) You're such a pushy pusher.

There's my girl. (LAUGHING)

So no charges were filed or anything, and everything's...

Everything's fine. Everybody's okay.

But | had to tell you.

I'm sorry | didn't tell you before.

Felt scared and l...

To tell me?

(LAUGHING)

| didn't know how to...

How to bring it up, and | knew...

| Knew that you're,

you're nervous about things with Ryan, and l...

But | need you to know that,

you know, he loves me so much.

And, that being said,

if itis at all possible,

if we can try to talk about It,

person to person,

with you, not, you know, as my mom...

| would really like to get your advice on this

as a person that | trust and respect,

because It's... Okay.

| need a little help. Okay.

(TEARFULLY) You know? I'm just a person,

who is not your mother.

Okay. Okay. (LAUGHING)

And...

| used to worry, in fact,

that you would have trouble falling in love...

Like, really falling in love...

Because, you know, we have this kind of toughness.

And | would say

you're just So...

(SIGHS) Brave and so strong.

And | know that,

no matter what, you can handle it.

(SNIFFLING) Thank you so much.

What about as my mom?

As your mom...

| think...

Just because you're tough enough to handle it,

doesn't mean it's what | want for you.

AMBER: Hey.

Hi.

Can we talk?

Yeah.

(SIGHS)

I've been thinking a lot.

Yeah, | have been too. Can | go first?

(SIGHS) I've been thinking a lot about how...

You've been through so much.

Things that | can't ever imagine,

or understand,

no matter how much | want to.

| mean, we're so different, you know?

And it's made this really hard. Amber, Amber...

No, let me finish, please. Look... Okay.

It's also... (SIGHS)

It's also what makes us SO amazing together.

We have the ability to grow and change,

to make each other better.

And we respect each other enough to try,

and that's all that matters.

We can get through anything like that.

And | hate that you hurt,

and | hate that there are things that...

| can't understand about you, but...

| don't care, because | love you.

| love every part of you.

| love everything about you,

and | want to love you for the rest of my life.

| want to marry you. Amber...

And | want to have kids with you. No, Amber.

And | want to be your wife. No, no, no, no.

| want to be with you forever. No, no, no, no, Amber.

I'm sorry. |, um, | can't. I...

You can't what? Ryan. | can't do this, life.

What do you mean?

| went back, and | reenlisted.

(GASPING)

It's done.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Since we had a date night.

Yeah.

| think you're right. | think it's exactly what we need, you know?

No animated movies, no family bowling night, just...

Damn it. Dinner at Angelo's.

Need some help?

I'm really glad we're doing this.

Yeah, me too.

All right, Kristina, come on.

I'm coming, honey. Where are we?

What are you... What are we doing? We're here. We're here.

We're here where? Yeah.

Just trust me. Dinner?

Just trust me. | trust you.

What is in the brown sack? Trust me, okay?

You're gonna see what's in the sack. Okay?

All right, Kristina? Honey, | don't... Why are we in the middle

of the street? Just stand right over here.

Okay? Okay.

And look up there. Are you surprised...

Boom.

Tonight, we're gonna let Bob Little know just how we feel.

Adam, what? All right?

Are you kidding me right now?

This is our date night.

| want us to have a special farewell to Bob Little.

| don't want to have a farewell. Okay?

And | want you to tell him how you feel, okay?

Adam, | just want to go to dinner.

| really, I'm fine. We're gonna go to dinner, honey.

| Know how much it meant to you to win.

You're so sweet. And | love

that you're putting on a brave face.

I'm fine. And that you're making the best of losing.

Okay. But now is the chance for us

to get back at him for running a smear campaign,

for disrespecting you, for disrespecting our family.

Honey, we have a babysitter for two and a half hours now.

What's that... Now guess what?

It's our turn. Okay? You don't have eggs.

We're gettin’ him back.

I'm not doin’ it. Take an egg. Chuck it at him.

This is so juvenile. You want me to go first?

I'm above this, Adam. Are you okay? I'm gonna go first, okay?

Bob!

You know what, Bob?

From the first time | saw you, | didn't like the looks of you.

Okay, you little weasely-faced piece of...

Honey, you're so sweet to do this, but that is really...

Wow, that was a good hit.

That felt good, okay? That was really good.

That was... Wow, okay. Yeah?

Go get him. Do it, honey.

This is your chance to go negative.

If | do it, can we go to dinner? Yeah. Do it.

okay’ Okay.

Okay, one time. You got it.

Ready?

Get him, hon.

ADAM: Yeah! Whoo!

Nice hit, hon. That was a good shot. That was good.

Oh, my God, that actually felt kind of good.

How about another? All right.

Yeah.

Go.

Bam! (LAUGHING) Yeah!

Nice. That was perfect, honey.

Right on the side of his weasely little mouth. That was amazing.

Now tell him what you think about him.

Okay. You know what, Bob?

You're a jerk. (ADAM GROANING)

You're a jerk, and you're mean, and you're negative,

and that was an awesome throw. Go get him.

Yeah! And you know what?

You're not gonna be a good mayor.

| would've been a good mayor. That's right.

Yeah. Whoo!

Little more hair gel for you there, Bob!

Whoo! Whoo!

| nailed him.

Let it out. Let it out. You jerk! You little weasel.

Let's get him. Argh!

Whoa!

Whoo! Oh!

Uh, we should go. Uh, you got... | got it. Honey.
