Original subtitles

| hated Afghanistan.

But at least there, everything makes sense.

| just feel out of sync here, still.

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

Yeah, | went back and | reenlisted.

| have a buddy in advertising who hires photographers.

You would enjoy meeting him.

Hi. CARL: This is my friend, Sarah.

Sarah. Yeah,

Carl told me that your work is amazing.

| thought that | felt something from you. That's what | thought.

I'm married.

Are you having an affair with Ed?

No.

| heard they've been having an affair for months.

WOMAN 1: Really? Yeah. | mean, it makes sense.

They're on the sustainability committee together.

JILL: Do you think that was an accident?

No one picks that committee.

JILL: | mean, | just don't get it,

Joel is the greatest husband ever.

WOMAN 1: And he's so cute. WOMAN 2: | Know.

He's so sweet. Shh, shh, shh!

JILL: Hey, Julia. Hey.

(INDISTINCT WHISPERING)

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

Bye!

Bye, Victor.

(CHUCKLES)

Like, maybe she's just... Pardon me.

(GASPS)

That was awkward.

Okay. What do you wanna know?

About...

| Know you've been talking about me.

Heard all about it. So, what do you wanna know?

(NERVOUSLY) Julia, no! We're just really uh...

Sorry for everything that's been going on with you.

WOMAN: We're really sorry. Nothing's been going on with me.

I'm not having an affair. I'm not getting a divorce.

So you can get a life, if you wanna talk about maybe something else.

(SCOFFS) And don't tell me that you're sorry,

‘cause you're not.

Okay.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Hi. Can | come in?

Can | pretend I'm not wearing pajamas?

Can we pretend you're wearing nothing at all?

Come in, Carl. (CHUCKLES)

Uh, so you remember, Alec from that party.

Yeah. He was asking about you for a job.

He wants to interview you.

For what? Surfsport? You ever heard of them?

(GASPS) Yes, I've heard of Surfsport.

| don't live underground.

Well, you sort of do.

Anyway, Alec said it's some huge campaign.

| told him | thought your work was fantastic

and he wants to sit down with you.

(STAMMERING) | don't know if | can

handle an account like Surfsport.

Why not?

Because they're huge.

| don't have the experience. | don't have the equipment. Yeah.

| think you'll figure it out.

| mean, the only reason you haven't done a job this big before

is because you haven't done a job this big before.

Right? Can | give him your phone number?

Just have him call you?

Sure. Good.

Good. (CHUCKLES) See ya.

Blue! Forty-one! Red coat! JASMINE: Hey, hey, hey!

Hut! Hut! Hike! What are you doing in the house?

Nice! Ends on hands! Hey, hey, hey!

Whoo! What? Why is there a motorcycle in our driveway?

(AIDA COOS)

CROSBY: Oh, that's Oliver.

Oh, man. | bet he's here to complain about the band.

They're bickering. JASMINE: Why is he coming here?

He looks cool.

Hey. What's up, Crosby.

We gota bit of a problem, bro.

Mrs. Crosby. Hello.

What... Spawn of Crosby.

What's the problem?

The band and | are in a huge fight.

About what?

About them being jackasses. And I'm not gonna play another song until...

(CLEARS THROAT)

Butt faces. | will not finish recording

this record until they apologize to me.

| mean, they're trying to get in my head

and there's only one person in this head,

most of the time and so,

they kicked me out of the house

and | don't know anybody else in town

‘cause I've just been focusing on my art, this whole time.

So who am | gonna meet? (MOUTHING)

| Know you, and you can

maybe let me crash for a couple days.

and that would be awesome.

That would be so sweet. (MOUTHING)

Yeah. A few days is great. Please.

(SIGHS) That's just a couple days isn't? That'll work?

Few. Awesome! That's it. Yeah.

And | gotta get the rest of my stuff.

| couldn't fit it on my bike,

so if you could take the minivan machine,

then we could just do a quick...

You also need me to move. Uh-huh. Oh!

All right. All right.

You're all | got. Dude!

You and me! Bunk mates!

Uh, probably not bunk mates but...

Flashlights under the blanket and stuff like that?

Yeah, that sounds weird. JABBAR: Yeah!

No!

Hey.

Max?

Max?

What's going on? You were supposed to meet me

20 minutes ago in the parking lot.

You all right? Yeah.

(LOCKER SLAMS)

ADAM: Where's the rest of the Yearbook Club?

| don't know. Don't know?

What about Mr. Carlson, where was he?

| don't know. Okay.

Hey, look who's here. What's up, Micah!

What's going on, bud?

Max, what was that all about?

| don't know.

That was Micah, your best friend.

You guys just went by each other

and didn't say anything.

No. We're not friends anymore.

Since when?

Well, Max, what happened?

| don't know.

We have to get to Hank's.

(SIGHS)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

RYAN: Hey.

What are you doing here? You're a half hour early.

Oh, sorry.

(SIGHS) It's fine.

Most of your stuff is in those boxes.

Umm... Okay, thanks.

You might wanna do a double-check,

like, round the bathroom or something

because you know, there might be some stuff that | missed, so...

And if you could just leave the keys

on the table, that'd be great.

Yeah. Are you leaving? All right.

Yeah, lam.

I'm leaving. Do you want...

| wasn't even gonna be here but you came half an hour early so...

Do you wanna talk or anything?

It's a little late to talk, isn't it?

Go ahead, though, if you have something to say.

(STAMMERS) It's just, I'm not... | may not see you before I...

What? What's left?

(SIGHS)

Maybe he didn't see you guys.

No, he saw us. | said "Hey, Micah!"

| could see him seeing us out of the corner of his eye.

He just kept on rolling. It doesn't make any sense.

It just doesn't. |! asked Max about it.

All Max said was, “We're not friends anymore."

| mean, he hasn't been over here in a long time. No further explanation.

You know, but | figured they're still friends.

| just feel like this is my fault,

because | used to help facilitate the play-dates and stuff

and he was coming over.

Since this election's been taking over our lives, it's like...

It might be your fault.

Adam.

Hopefully it's something small and fixable.

What if | called his parents?

What if | called them and just explained the situation?

Maybe they know something we don't.

They're nice people. | think Max is a little old

for us to be calling his friends’ parents?

Well, he's not gonna tell us what's going on.

He might. Gimme a shot. It's his only friend, Adam.

ADAM: Let me think about it for a little while

and I'll see if | can get to the bottom of it with Max.

Okay?

All right.

OLIVER: Delicious! Amazing. CROSBY: Mmm!

It really was, honey. So good.

Jabbar, can you clear the table, please? Yeah.

God! Family dinner.

This is what it's like. It's nice, right?

| longed for this my entire childhood. (GIGGLES)

This is like a mélange of people

just from all over the world, different races,

coming together, eating chow.

CROSBY: Norman Rockwell, right? Breaking bread.

We're breaking bread with each other.

This is actually happening. Yeah. It's gluten-free.

That's even better, man. This is inspiring.

This is like light bulb inspiration.

| need a piece of paper. | need some paper.

You want paper? Paper, pen, paper, pen, please.

CROSBY: Yeah, honey, | think there's...

Hey, Oliver, not to interrupt your thought process here,

but have you spoken to the rest of the band?

What's going on with...

You know, when somebody just doesn't get it?

That's my band.

None of them get it. | just look at them and I'm like,

"You're so immature, you're so Childish."

They just think we're making a record.

We're just making a record. It's not destiny.

It's not my life.

Well, | ascertained that... Now, I'm depressed.

...but sometimes when I'm sad,

| like to go down to the studio and,

let it out, you know, kinda like a release.

JASMINE: Mmm-hmm. You know. It's kinda like, cathartic.

| Know what you mean. Yeah, | see what you're doing there.

CROSBY: Yeah. What's that?

| Know you're not trying to smoke that in this house.

Oh, no, no. It's just, it's not pot.

It's just a little cigarette. Got ya.

Now, this, my friend, is fine quality Bali shag.

Now, if you're gonna smoke, don't buy cigarettes.

You gotta roll 'em just like our forefathers did.

Okay. JASMINE: No.

Okay. Don't tell him that.

First of all, you're never gonna smoke.

Second of all, you're not smoking in this house.

So, take it outside.

But Crosby and | we, like... Crosby what?

What are you talking about? We've... OLIVER: Nothing.

Are you smoking? No! What?

No, no, no! | gotta go anyways.

What are you talking about? | don't know.

| gotta visit a young lady. Tuck her into bed.

Mmm. Maybe you should stay there tonight?

I'm not giving that lady the wrong idea.

Come on. (LAUGHS) Of course not.

Anyway, I'm gonna be late, so...

Do you wanna lock the door? Or keep it unlocked, or else I'm gonna break in.

You definitely won't do that.

We'll choose the unlocked option. See ya, fam! Love ya! Mmm!

Oliver Rome is so cool.

You know what I'm thinking for the holidays?

JASMINE: What? He and your mother. staying here all at once.

(JASMINE LAUGHS) Bunk beds.

JABBAR: (GASPS) Yeah!

Hey. Hey.

How's it going? Yeah. Good, can | come in?

Thank you. When are you headed out?

Wednesday.

Fort Lewis. Yeah. Oh.

You're flying? Driving.

Driving.

Well, it's crappy weather up there all right.

Yeah.

Just, uh...

Rains all the time. Just pisses all over you.

Yeah.

The reason | came by was to...

(INHALES)

To tell you that | hope what | said the other night

isn't the reason why you reenlisted.

No. No, it's not.

Because | don't want Amber to think that,

you know, it was me that...

No, Zeek. It wasn't.

And I'll find some way of making sure that she knows that.

Yeah.

The military's my life now.

You know, | wanted Amber to be my life, and Berkeley and...

Your whole family and...

You know, | love her so much.

But,

| don't, uh, Know that I'm good for her.

How is she?

You haven't talked to her?

No.

No. She, uh, she's pretty mad.

Well, you're leaving.

Yeah, | know. She doesn't want to talk to me.

(SIGHS)

Sad.

| Know. Okay.

Hey, Zeek.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

You've done so much for me.

Godspeed, Ryan.

Hey. Can you take a minute?

Yeah.

(SIGHS)

You know, um...

I've been...

(VOICE BREAKING) Pretty unhappy

since | left work.

And, uh...

Ed was going through the same thing, so...

That's basically how we became friends.

You were so mad at me

when Victor got held back,

which | understand, that didn't go down right.

But,

you know, Ed and | talked about that too, and that's...

You saw all those texts.

That's what that was about.

We were just... It was SO...

Rough on us.

(TEARFULLY) Joel, um...

(SNIFFLES)

Ed got confused about the nature of our friendship,

clearly, because...

(SIGHS) He kissed me.

You know, and | stopped it and he hasn't tried to do it again.

| thought you...

You said nothing happened.

Well, from my side of it, nothing happened, you know?

From my...

So... For me.

Where? Where was it? Where was this?

JULIA: This was at his house.

| had gone... You went to his house?

JOEL: When? | did. This is a couple weeks ago.

| went over there because l...

Started to get the sense that he was misunderstanding.

So let me, let me just...

Let me get this straight. You...

You've been having, um, a...

An emotional relationship with,

with Ed, some sort of emotional affair with Ed.

A friendship. And then you go over to his house...

Clearly, he's separated from his wife

and you go over and he kisses you.

Yes. And when | ask you

about anything happening...

(SIGHS) | begged you.

| begged you to tell me

if anything happened and you said nothing.

| said nothing because...

Why? ...from my point of view it was nothing,

and because | didn't want to unnecessarily upset you.

Why would you think that that is nothing?

(STAMMERING) For me... From me to him, it was nothing.

(CRYING)

(PHONE RINGING)

Um... | love the bird.

Oh, yeah. That was a great shot.

So, uh... Yeah?

Tell me, Hank, any chance you surf?

No. | don't.

And | tried it once and, uh, hated it.

Yeah.

Well, don't need to go to beach for this, you know that, right?

‘Cause the beach wind, you're gonna run into a lot of trouble

with lens and sand and...

Wind.

Sun's gonna go down. That's gonna be a big...

Right. Right, right. ...pain in the ass. when the sun goes down.

So, you wouldn't do surfing shots for Surfsport?

You don't. You don't do that for this kind of shoot.

| mean, you know, | mean between me and you it's...

You're not doing art here.

You're doing a brochure.

And you've got a budget and you're gonna wanna be in the studio for this one.

Yeah, this is really good stuff. Thank you.

And we'll get back to you as soon as we know something.

Thank you.

Okay.

Hey.

Hi. (LAUGHS) Hey.

Hi. What are you doing here?

(LAUGHS) Nice to see you too.

Yeah, no... It's... But, what's up?

| have an interview.

What? Where?

Uh, Surfsport.

Surfsport?

(LAUGHS) That's just where | was.

Oh, my God. (LAUGHS) You're interviewing there?

Yeah, | don't have the chance now. HANK: | don't get it.

Well, | don't. Seriously?

Yes, seriously.

How did... (CHUCKLES)

| mean... You're so Surprised.

You're bringing your pictures of dogs.

Right, I... | don't, uh...

| have lots of different pictures... Well, | mean...

and | have an interview. | know, | know.

(STAMMERS) | don't get it. | don't get it.

|... Hi! ALEC: Sarah? Sarah?

Hi. Alec, nice to see you again.

Good to see you. Hi! (LAUGHS)

Good to see you.

Uh, my brothers are so excited I'm here.

ALEC: Well, I'm excited that you're here as well, thanks for coming in.

SARAH: Thank you.

PEET: So, | mean, as you will see,

we've made the adjustment for the, um,

step down from the living room into the kitchen.

And, uh, but | think all it's done,

is just made this view even more spectacular.

Love it. Oh, good!

Great!

Well, we've lost a tiny bit of space in the kitchen,

but | think that between the sliding doors and then all this sunlight,

it's just gonna feel even bigger.

How many square feet did we lose exactly?

Uh... Sorry.

Uh, six. We lost six square feet.

Right, but six useless square feet.

| mean, it was between the refrigerator and the breakfast...

Well, I'm actually standing in it, you just won't miss it.

And what's the budget change per unit?

That's... Sorry.

I've got it.

Umm, Joel's numbers are totally off

‘cause | asked him to change all the countertops.

So, um, | tell you what, we'll get you a new breakdown

and anew budget tonight.

Okay?

Sure. Good, okay.

Come. | wanna show you upstairs.

It's So sexy, this house.

PEET: Itis just magnificent.

(DOORBELL RINGS) (KNOCKS ON DOOR)

Who is it?

HANK: It's me. (GROANS)

How'd you get that interview? (LAUGHING)

What is wrong with you?

I'm just asking. What are you doing?

Can | come in? I'm gonna come in... You came over? Yes.

What about the phone? Just call me. ‘Cause this is bothering me.

I'm just wondering how...

You know, | heard you say, "good to see you again."

Well how? When did you see that guy? | could tell.

| could tell that you were upset when we were there.

I'm not upset. I'm a friend.

I'm a friend. I'm a photographer.

Mmm-hmm. Fellow photographer

wondering how you got, uh...

in that loop. (LAUGHS) | was referred by a friend.

Well, what friend knew him? Who? | don't get it.

Why do you care? Why does it matter?

I've been doing this for a long time, I'm just wondering,

how you are in the same circle, that's all.

| mean, I'm happy for you.

| just don't know how you got in there.

Carl, who you met the other night, was my friend who...

Tux guy? Mr. Tux? Mr. Tux.

Mmm-hmm. Really?

Okay. All right, now | get it.

Oh, do you? What?

(CHUCKLES) Come on, all right?

Come on, what? I'm not going out with Carl.

So you're qualified for that job then?

| think | am, yeah.

What kind of lens you use for a sunset?

You don't have to, | don't have to pass your little tests, okay?

What lens you gonna use? What kinda lens are you gonna use?

Hank, why don't you... | think it's...

Time for you to maybe go.

You better be careful, all right?

Careful with your game show host neighbor. Why are you warning me?

All right? He's nota game show host.

Yeah. He's a doctor, if you must know.

Yeah, | know what kind of doctor he is.

Bye.

Hey. What was that? I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. That wasn't even a hard question.

That was a basic one. | Know.

(STAMMERS) I'm doing the report right now.

Joel, I've put a ton of faith in you.

You nearly screwed this up.

That is the prototype. He doesn't like it, we have big problems.

Yes. Yes, | Know. I'm sorry.

| just... | haven't been sleeping well lately

and, uh, my...

My marriage... Right.

| hate to say it, but | don't care.

| don't care about your personal problems, Joel, | don't.

This is your job. And it's a big one.

So get it together. Okay?

(DOOR SLAMS)

(KNOCKING)

Hey, Max.

Hey, that's a good picture.

| like that. No it's not. It's all out of focus.

Otis ruined it. Otis sucks. We need a new dog.

Well, | think we're stuck with Otis, so...

Hey, listen.

| wanted to talk with you

about you and Micah.

Why?

Well, because Micah's your best friend.

No, Hank is.

All right, well, Hank's an adult, so...

So? That's not relevant.

It is relevant. It's important for you

to have friendships with people who are your Own age,

and | know that you and Micah were really good friends

and something happened.

Did he do something?

Did you maybe say something that upset him?

Can you remember?

Maybe it's because he was suddenly obsessed with basketball

and | told him, basketball was stupid.

Okay, that could be.

He can't even play basketball, he's in a wheelchair.

You didn't say that, did you? Yeah.

And then it was even more stupid

because he said he could play wheelchair basketball,

which | told him was stupid because it's not real basketball.

Okay.

| think that may have hurt Micah's feelings.

So, | think you should apologize to him.

And | got an idea. Why don't | get some tickets

to a Golden State Warriors game and you can invite him to go with us?

What do you say?

| don't want to go to the Golden State Warriors.

Max, this is important. This is so...

They're not even warriors anyway. They're basketball players.

It's just the name of the game. Warriors fight in wars,

these guys just play basketball. Okay.

It doesn't make any sense.

For Micah and for me, | want you to

tell him you're sorry for saying those things

and invite him to come to the basketball game. Can you do that?

Fine.

Great.

| think that Micah's gonna be very excited

about going to this basketball game.

That's good. | like that.

All right, little dude, pay close attention to the music right here.

This part iS pure genius.

Is that the shark?

No, no, no. | mean, she thinks the shark's there,

it's the music, man. It's scaring you.

It's making everything hurt. You're like, “Agh! I'm gonna die!

“I'm gonna die!" Is the shark gonna

kill that guy? OLIVER: What do you think?

Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing out of bed?

And what are you watching? What is this?

Jaws? It's Jaws.

TV off. You in bed.

Get up and let's go. But | couldn't go to sleep!

Well, you better try now. OLIVER: No, come on.

Let's go. You know better. But he said it's a classic!

| don't care what he said. He's not your mother.

What's going on here? And you, he's 10 years old.

You don't show him that.

JABBAR: Not fair! CROSBY: He's watching what?

JASMINE: You, get in bed!

You, you can't show the kid horror movies? What are you doing, man?

Horror movies? Jaws is a horror movie? Yes! It's a scary...

It's a scary movie, dude. Last time | checked

it was brilliant cinema. It's just the score that's freaking you out.

It's a great movie but, uh, oh...

You're in this part.

Oh, hey! | said turn it off!

Turn it off already. Oh, no! Okay!

Because, how many times is she gonna ask?

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

| got the job!

You got the job? Yeah.

Congrats! That's amazing. Thanks.

It's a little too amazing.

How's that possible? I, uh...

Did you have anything to do with this?

Are you the reason | got it?

I'm definitely not the reason you got it, but | don't think it hurt.

| mean, Alecis a friend. This is great.

| was up against some really amazing photographers.

Even better. (SIGHS)

Just feels like | don't deserve it.

Hey, don't, no. Don't talk about deserving it, right?

You went in, you won the job, now you're gonna go kill it.

What if | don't do a good job?

Well, then you'll never work again and it'll look bad for me.

Hey, you know what?

Don't second guess this.

You can do it.

| think go to the right

and take the route that's marked. Jabbar! Hey, come on,

we got to go to school.

Where'd you get chips?

Pantry, dude. Hey, listen to me.

No, no, no, no. Go brush your teeth.

No, no, no, no. Wait, it's breakfast.

CROSBY: You can't eat that for breakfast.

Oh, good. What the hell?

ADAM: Okay. Hey. What's up, Jabbar? Hey, Uncle Adam.

Can you please turn that off?

No, just let me get to the end of this level here. Okay, you know what?

ADAM: No more videogames. OLIVER: No, no, no, no!

The slumber party's over. It's time for you to get back in the studio

and finish the album. CROSBY: That's right.

What is this, like an intervention here?

Yeah. That's exactly right,

‘cause you've got to get in the studio

and finish that song today.

It's not gonna happen, man. ADAM: Yes, it is.

No. Look, It has to.

I'm working with a bunch of douches over there,

I'm not gonna finish this record.

| don't care, man. You think you're the only one...

You're the front man of the band!

Make... Un-douche 'em!

We've put in time. We've put in money. Mmm-hmm.

We've put an incredible amount of faith

into Ashes of Rome. That's right.

And we both need you to be an adult

and get back into the Luncheonette and record that album.

You can't force creativity.

Have you ever tried to make something from nothing? Have you?

CROSBY: Listen to me. Have you once tried...

You are contractually obligated

to finish the album, SO yOu...

“Contractually obligated." Yes.

Unfortunately you are. Pulling out the big kid words.

So, you're gonna have to force it.

You're gonna contractually demand... Bye, guys.

Have a good day at school, Jabbar. CROSBY: I'm driving you.

What are you talking about? Hold on one second.

Later, dude. JASMINE: Bye, sweetie.

| hate to say this, but you can't stay here any longer,

unless you get to the studio.

CROSBY: All right? New rules. Oh! Just on the way out

you're gonna drop that. Mrs. Crosby... That's right.

You're gonna let him? I'm not a part of this.

JABBAR: Bye, Oliver! So, we will see you in the studio.

Today. Okay? Guess what?

You got to, you got to tear the band aid off.

Sure! I'll be right there!

(GRUNTS)

PLAYER: Go!

Micah. Micah. Micah.

(SIGHS) What's up, Max?

| Know you like basketball and I'm sorry | called it stupid.

My dad and | are going to a Golden State Warriors game

this Friday and | was wondering if you wanted to come.

The seats are section 115, row G,

seats four through six.

Also, there will be hot dogs.

| can't. It's on Friday

and they'll be playing the San Antonio Spurs.

And there will be nachos too.

Oh, nachos! (LAUGHING)

(ALL LAUGHING)

| don't wanna go. Sorry.

Is that it? Because we're kind of busy.

BOY: I'll go with you. Your dad and me. Come on, what's up?

Up and down. This is the hat.

Hey, buddy. Max!

What... What happened?

| don't know. He won't talk to me.

| didn't get a word out of him all the way home.

Hey, bud? I'm going to Hank's.

What's going on? I'm going to Hanks.

Hey. No, no, no. You're not going to Hanks, it's not your day.

Is it? Hank doesn't care.

ADAM: All right, look. Did something happen?

| don't wanna talk. | just wanna go to Hank's.

All right, stop, Max. Listen to me, okay?

You can go if you just let us know what's going on.

Talk to your mother. Yeah.

We're not going to the basketball game on Friday

because | asked Micah to go and he said no.

Well, why did he say no?

Did you ask him the way that we talked about? Yes.

You apologized to him? Yes.

Told him about the good seats?

| told him the great seats, | told him the nachos, | told him the hot dogs,

| told him everything!

And he doesn't want to be friends with me anymore.

Because he has new friends that play basketball

and they all think that I'm weird.

Now, | talked. I'm going to Hank's.

(SIGHS)

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Hey! Hi!

Can | come in? Please.

Well! My gosh.

What? Well, I've just never been here before.

This is it, huh?

Yeah, this is it. This is all I've got.

Can | sit down? Please, yeah.

You want some water or anything? No, thank you.

Okay.

Uh, | stopped by and | saw Ryan yesterday.

Okay.

| don't wanna talk about Ryan at all, so please. Yeah.

He's, he's pretty, uh, torn up.

That's terrible. Do you know who else is torn up?

Me. 'Cause | got broken up with.

| Know that if you let this kid go

and you don't say goodbye,

you're gonna regret it for the rest of your life.

(SCOFFS)

You realize that | didn't ask him to leave, right?

You realize he broke off our engagement?

He asked me to marry him. And then he took it back.

He left me.

But he deserves a goodbye.

What about what | deserve? What about what your granddaughter deserves,

after | did exactly what you told me to do!

Which was to be patient and kind and loving

and open and try to stand by him

through everything, and | did that.

And | Know you have a weird military thing with him. Hey, Amber...

But what about me? Amber...

Am, give me your hand. (SIGHS)

Sweetheart, do you love him?

| don't know why you would ask me a question like that.

| don't Know what you're trying to say.

But | don't wanna talk about this with you.

(STAMMERING) It's not your business.

It's just not.

Okay.

And | didn't even want to go to the basketball game anyways.

It's a dumb sport.

Yeah, | agree. It's boring,

and then the last three minutes take like, an hour.

It's a waste of time.

And | also don't see why it was bad to say

he can't play basketball because he's ina wheelchair? It's a fact.

(PHONE RINGING) Yeah, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Hello? Uh-huh.

Uh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. No, it's all right.

All right, thank. Well, uh, hold on.

Do you mind telling me who did get it?

Yeah, yeah. That's what | thought.

Yeah. All right. Thank you.

(PHONE BEEPS)

Oh, your aunt Sarah. She's something.

I'm not allowed to talk about Aunt Sarah while I'm here.

What? If you mention Aunt Sarah,

then | have to either change the subject or leave.

All right, well, you know what? We won't call her "Aunt Sarah."

How about that? We'll just call her, um, The Competitor.

(SIGHS) Anyway, the, uh, The Competitor,

she, uh, stole a job from me even though she's far less qualified.

Then how'd she get the job?

She's very, um, charming.

Not really the word | wanna use.

Everybody likes her.

| like you better than Aunt Sarah.

Well, you might be the only one.

Everyone else sucks. Pretty much.

(SINGING) What's it mean Mrs. Starfish

Don't you like me?

Oh, hello. Oh, hey!

I'm out. I'm out by the end of the day.

| know the drill. I'm out, don't worry.

Did you go in today?

Nope, nope. (PHONE VIBRATING)

Oh, there's the man right there.

Seventeen missed Crosby calls.

This man is dedicated.

Did Crosby ever tell you that | was a professional dancer.

Really? Yes.

That's hot. You're talking like,

Jazzercise pants,

or you're talking like, exotic kinda vibe?

None of the above.

You know, | started dancing when | was Six.

And | wanted to be a dancer when | grew up.

But as | got older, | realized that there were...

There were a lot of girls with the same dream,

and | wondered like, why? Why was | gonna make it?

| totally get that. You know?

But | went for it anyway, because | Knew if | didn't,

that for the rest of my life, | would wonder

if | could have made it.

But | just had to know.

You think that might be why you don't want to go back to the studio?

Because once you're done, it's over,

the album is gonna be out there.

People are gonna judge it

and there's nothing you can do about it anymore.

No, | know. It's... I'm not afraid of sucking.

That's not what it's about. I'm not afraid of that. Mmm.

What | am afraid of is just being mediocre.

| just...

| just want it to be great, you know?

Mmm-hmm. That great that you dreamed

when you were a kid, you know? Mmm-hmm.

Like, the real deal.

This is all I've ever known how to do.

This... | literally have no other skills.

(LAUGHING)

It's not funny, I'm serious. No, | agree with you.

Look, Oliver, you got to get it out there.

Otherwise, you'll always wonder.

KRISTINA: Oh, golly. She's finally down.

Good.

She's feisty today. Like her daddy.

(CHUCKLES)

What you doing?

| was thinking about calling Micah's parents

and begging them

to have him go to this Warriors game with Max.

Well, you know me, I'm not above begging,

especially when it comes to Max, but...

| just don't know that it's gonna help what is really going on here.

Well, what do you think is really going on here?

Max has lost his only friend at school.

And the kids at school are starting to notice that Max has his differences.

And he's all alone.

Honey, look. | mean, | wanna fix things for Max all the time,

you know that | do.

But he's getting older,

and we can't just jump in and solve his problems all the time.

He was humiliated, Kristina.

You should've seen him when he was walking back to the car from those kids.

I'm helpless.

And | hate it.

| just hate it.

Hey. Hey.

Is this yours?

Yeah.

(SIGHS)

I'm so mad at you.

| don't understand

why you would do this. | don't...

| don't understand

why you would leave me.

| don't think | ever really will.

| think what makes me the angriest

is that you would go somewhere

that | can't know for sure that you're safe.

So, just please...

Take care of yourself, okay?

Yeah. And promise me

that you'll come home safe, okay? Promise.

I'll be careful.

Okay.

Well, that's...

That's all | came here to say.

SARAH: Hi!

Oh, look at this.

Sarah Leibovitz is in the building.

Nice. Very good. So, you heard.

| did hear. Yeah. Well...

Listen, | have a question related to my new job

but | would like your assurance that, uh,

you're not gonna embarrass me or make me grovel.

| don't, | don't know if | can do that.

Okay. I'll talk to you later. All right, all right. What?

| won't make you. | won't embarrass you,

or the other thing.

Grovel. Do not make me grovel. All right, | won't. Go.

Okay, um, so | have this job for Surfsport and, uh,

| realize that I'm a little short on

certain equipment and | need studio space

that | don't have and so | wondered if | could,

if we could, uh, you know, do it, the job together.

Just like we used to? Except that I'm the boss.

(CHUCKLES)

| don't think so. Okay, | just...

|, | mean, look. Forget who's what.

How does that work money wise?

Right to the deal making. Yeah.

| mean, how we gonna... I'd pay you, of course.

Pay me what? Your fee.

My hourly fee? Yes.

You, you would go broke. You... No, no. Not that hourly fee.

The hourly fee that you get after, you know, we...

| don't have that. After the...

See what | do? Okay?

You can't afford that. Oh, my God. Okay, fine.

Then we'll split it, 70-30.

50-50. 50-50?

We're using my equipment. We're doing my thing.

Come on. You told me you would not make me grovel.

This is embarrassing. The boss can't get paid. | didn't Know you were

talking about money! (SIGHS)

Okay.

All right, but hold on. But first | just want... Oh, God.

No, | just want one thing. | just want you to say, What else?

it's not really about the equipment or the time or the thing or...

It's about the talent

and the fact that you are in a little bit over your head.

Say it, boss. (SIGHS)

All right, buddy. Are you super-excited about this game?

This is stupid. | don't even wanna go.

It's not stupid and your dad is totally looking forward to it.

ADAM: Okay! You're gonna have so much fun!

Whoa! Yay!

Who is ready to rumble? I'm ready to rumble!

There you go! That's boxing.

You just gave me the finger! For you. | did.

KRISTINA: Thank you. What is this?

It's a foam finger. For cheering.

(BOTH CHEERING)

It looks stupid. Well, that's the point!

BOTH: Whoop, whoop! Whoop, whoop!

All right. | have one question for you, Max, before we go.

Are you ready to rumble?

Yes. Can you please stop asking that question?

No, | can't hear you. Oh, | think | must have a little wax in my year.

I'm ready to rumble. Are you ready to rumble?

(LOUDLY) Yes! lam ready to rumble!

ADAM: All right! Here we go! Whoo!

High one!

Yes! Yes! I'm excited.

Yes, let's go.

I'm ready. All right.

(CHUCKLES)

KRISTINA: Okay, Max, whoo! ADAM: Whoo!

Alrighty, and that is all she wrote.

I'm outta your hair. Well, we made it.

Yay! | just wanna say, like,

living with you guys the last couple days has been life changing.

Like, seriously. | mean, Jasmine,

if | ever get married. And I'm talking

years from now, way down the road.

Mmm-hmm. | want a chick that's just like

a younger version of you,

but that's not what, you know,

a fine wine, like you, age... Ageless beauty. Yeah, | got it.

Thank you, Oliver.

Anyway, | just wanna say thank you

and so l, | wrote you a song.

Oh! Really?

It's called Jasmine All The Time.

I'm seriously not trying to move in on your wife here.

Give it a shot. But | can play it for you, if you want. | mean...

No, no, no. You don't have to do that.

Yeah... | wanna hear it!

JABBAR: Yeah.

All right, all right, all right. It's gonna be good.

He's good! This could end up on the album. (SIGHS)

Jasmine All the Time. It's just like a piece.

All right.

(SINGING) Just throw away the clocks for now

It's Jasmine all the time

It keeps Jasmine on my mind

And I'm picking up the pieces

But every song | write

It's Jasmine

Jasmine all the time

(SIGHS)

I'm really sorry.

Yeah, | know.

But it's gonna be okay.

Is it?

Hey, look...

If | say it's gonna be okay,

it's gonna be okay. Okay?

Okay.

(CHUCKLES)

Okay.

Okay.

Hey, Joel. | wanna talk to you about something.

So, | called around today and a couple of them

can take us this week... No.

No, this week doesn't work for you, Or... No.

| don't want to see a marriage counselor.

Because the marriage is not the problem.

The problem is you.

Joel, | don't... (SIGHS)

| don't know what you're trying...

This is why | didn't wanna tell you about Ed.

You didn't wanna tell me about Ed? Because you're making it

a bigger deal than it is.

It's a pretty big deal.

Okay. It's a pretty big deal.

It's not even just Ed. It's like, ever since you left your job...

(STAMMERING) | don't even know.

| don't even know who you are.

| wanna fix it. And I've been wandering around this house

for the past couple of days, trying to figure out why I'm...

I'm here, why I'm doing this.

And | just think it's ‘cause of those two.

lam so...

Joel, don't you think somebody can help us?

(SIGHS)

You wanna fix it and | don't think...

| don't think it can be fixed.

(CRYING)
