| don't wanna go back.

Do you want me to stay?

Yeah.

If my wife was still alive

and she asked me to take a trip to Italy,

I'd buy two first-class tickets and beat her ass to the airport.

HANK: / was reading this book for Max. And then all of a sudden,

I'm not reading about the kid anymore. I'm reading about me!

| was thinking that we should try and see a marriage counselor.

| don't want to see a marriage counselor.

Because the marriage is not the problem.

The problem is you.

| 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.

But if you could just see the beauty

These things | could never describe

These pleasures a wayward distraction

This is my one lucky prize

You want bacon?

Where's Dad?

Dad, uh, had to go to work very early this morning. So...

But it's sign up for the Jog-A-Thon at drop-off.

| can sign you up. SYDNEY: No, you can't.

Dad and Victor are running with Team Coyote.

You have to sign up in person

to get your official apron number.

Okay, well... He probably forgot.

He didn't forget!

And | will sign you up

and | will make sure that | get Dad's official number.

SYDNEY: No, you can't. | can...

Hey! Dad?

Mom said you had to go into work early. JOEL: Hey.

VICTOR: We thought you forgot about the Jog-A-Thon.

VICTOR: No. Why don't you go get your plate?

Come on!

SYDNEY: It's mine! VICTOR: Go get your plate!

Hello? Hey.

Nice to see you. What brings you up here today?

Yeah, | was just, uh...

Just looking around my store. | found that... That...

A shot | took a while back of Bob Dylan. Yeah?

Oh, wow!

You took this?

Yeah.

Yeah, it was a while back.

Wow, that's a great shot.

| thought, you know, you could use it here

at the recording studio. It's where it should be.

We can for sure. Thank you very much. Uh...

That's very generous of you.

Ah, it's nothing, it's okay.

You know, while I'm here, uh,

Sarah told me that Max was...

Uh, going to this famous Asperger's doctor.

Yeah, Dr. Pelikan.

Yeah. You got his number handy?

Why, is something going on with Max?

No, no! No, no, no, no.

He's... Max is great. He's doing great.

Good. Yeah.

No, no. It's, uh, it's another matter.

Oh, yeah. Uh, yeah.

You want me to just forward his contact info to you?

You can just write it down.

Oh, okay. All right, sure.

Just write it down for you.

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

(LAUGHS) Oh, my God.

| cannot believe you still have your model congress T-shirt.

That's... I'm very proud of my fake senate run.

(LAUGHS) What?

Thank you. I'll fold this.

Dude, | think... Make sure we don't...

...It's time to trash the evidence

of your ninth grade accomplishments.

| have to agree with Berto, hon.

Well, I'm feeling harassed,

but still proud. (CELL PHONE RINGING)

It's my mom.

Hey, Mom!

Yeah.

Yeah, it is. It's snowing.

It's freezing here.

(DOOR OPENS)

Your girlfriend hasn't told her parents

that she didn't go back to Tufts?

Ah, yeah, no. Not yet.

Dude, this is getting weird.

It's been two weeks.

How long is she gonna stay?

Yeah, | don't... | don't know. We're...

We're figuring that out.

CAMILLE: Oh! ZEEK: Yeah!

Home, sweet home.

How's it feel? (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

No, no, no! Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hold it.

Allow me. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Hey.

You really missed me, hmm?

You're telling me?

| missed you, too.

Welcome home, sweetheart.

(SIGHS) Looks just the same.

Well, uh...

A little different inside.

ALL: Surprise!

(ALL CHEERING)

ADAM: Welcome home!

You look beautiful, Mom!

Aw! Love you.

Aw. Welcome back. We missed you.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN) (LAUGHS)

Hey, there!

(BOTH KISSING LOUDLY)

(LAUGHS) (CROSBY SPEAKING ITALIAN)

Yeah. Wow!

Hey.

Hey, Amber, sweetheart. How are you? (LAUGHS)

Grandpa told me. SARAH: Mom, she's fine.

Yeah. It's okay. What?

Mom, Mom. It's fine.

Did you bring us presents?

Did |? Yes!

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

Sweets for the children! JULIA: Uh-oh.

(ALL GROANING) Oh, no. Okay.

Yes! Syd.

Hey, hey. That's for after dinner.

That's for dessert, okay? Okay, | got it.

Ohl!

Ohl!

I'll tell you what, I'll have four now.

Then four pieces after dinner. JULIA: You will? Thank you.

Listen. Listen to me. That's a deal.

No, that's a good deal. Just leave it there.

JULIA: Oh, wow.

SARAH: | want it!

Is it good to be back?

Mmm. Good.

Oh, my gosh.

KRISTINA: Hey, Max. Okay. Hold on.

(FAST MUSIC PLAYING)

Uh, hey, guys. Adam, Crosby, it's Amber. Ugh.

| woke up with this really bad cough, cold thing.

| think | need a couple of days to rest it off.

Um, I'll check in soon and let you know how I'm feeling.

All right, I'll talk to you soon. Bye.

(VOLUME INCREASES)

This life it seems can bring you to your knees

You try, you breathe, then finally you breathe

(WHISPERS) Okay. Hey.

Amber just called in sick.

Oh, no. | hope she's okay.

Yeah, me, too.

What do you think?

Is that where you're gonna hang it?

Yeah. Your mom worked so hard on it.

Oh, hey. | forgot to tell ya. It's so cute.

Hank stopped by the office the other day to drop off

this Bob Dylan photograph that he took.

Oh. That's nice.

Yeah, that. That's not... So nice.

...what I'm gonna tell you, though.

Then he asked me for Dr. Pelikan's phone number.

Okay. Did something happen with Max?

Oh, no. That's what | asked him.

But then, he said "It's for another matter."

Another matter. Yeah.

And you're just telling me. And I'm guessing the other matter

has gotta be him, right?

Hank? Hey, wait a second.

What? You think he has...

What? Well, |... | don't know.

| mean, he's quirky.

He's very quirky.

Right? And socially awkward.

He's very focused. He's...

You know, he'll talk to Max about lenses for hours.

Hours and hours. Exposures for hours.

Cameras for hours. Hours.

Yeah, | know.

But that doesn't mean he has... Just like bugs.

No. But | can't help but think that

if he does, then maybe Max could turn out to be like him.

That's not so bad.

No, it's not.

Hank's got a business.

He's had relationships. Yeah.

Failed relationships. Well, he's had them.

He's had them. With your sister.

Yeah, well, uh... That was okay.

He's got a daughter.

He has a daughter. Right?

Oh, yeah! Yeah?

But they don't get along.

He's a father. Well, she exists.

She does exist. Wow. Look at that.

That's a pretty bright future for Max.

Hmm.

So?

Are we... What?

Hoping that he has Asperger's?

No. (SIGHS)

No, of course not. That'd... | mean, maybe on some level.

That would be unbelievable.

That would be good.

(WHISPERS) Wow.

Yeah.

Hank?

Hey! Hi.

Uh, you couldn't find a place for it?

Oh, no! No, no, no. I... | love it.

I, uh, just, uh, | wanna get it framed.

You want me to frame it?

Uh, yeah. Uh...

| intend to pay for it.

All right. But, uh, | was thinking red

would be real bold, kind of fun.

No, that's horrible.

Horrible choice, red.

You wanna go simple, black.

Keep it simple.

Yeah, uh, you know what?

| think that's probably right. Yeah.

It's a good... Good thing | came to you.

All right. | gotta do a couple things here.

| guess | could get it to you later tonight, if that's all right.

That's fine. That's fast. That's great.

All right, I'll get on it later.

Okay.

Uh, hey, Hank.

Just so long as I'm here,

you don't... You don't happen to play poker, do you?

Yeah, | play poker.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

(CLEARS THROAT)

Hello? SARAH: Hi, how are you?

Uncle Adam said you weren't feeling well.

So, |... | got you some chicken soup.

Oh! I... I'm not home right now. Um...

| know you're not at home

because I'm standing outside your door

with a big pile of chicken soup. Where are you?

I'm at the drugstore.

I'm just getting some medicine and stuff.

So maybe, you know. | could... Hmm. Mmm-hmm.

Okay. Well, um...

Should | just wait for you then or...

Um...

I... I'm not at the drug store, Mom.

Uh-huh. (SIGHS)

Amber, what's going on?

| don't know. I'm... I'm driving around.

I'm, uh, I'm at the beach right now.

Honey, uh, where?

What do you mean "driving around"?

Uh, | don't know, Mom. Um...

Look. |... (SIGHS) I'm worried about you.

Uh, you shouldn't just be out there driving around.

Let me... Let me meet you somewhere.

We'll have a... A Soup or... Or something.

(SIGHS) /... | don't really know, Mom.

Um, | just need to be alone right now.

Oh, Amber, | just worry about you.

You shouldn't be in the car if you're upset and...

I'll be safe. | promise, okay? (SIGHS)

Well, you sound terrible.

This makes me very worried.

Just come home. | gotta do this, okay?

(SIGHS) But I'll talk to you soon.

(SIGHS) /'m gonna call you in an hour.

(SIGHS)

Those kids are wiped out. (SIGHS)

Well, they were really happy that you were home tonight to put them to bed.

(SIGHS)

Are we just not gonna talk about it?

(SIGHS)

Talk about what?

About where you slept the other night?

Seriously?

| have a right to know where you slept.

You know, | didn't... | didn't make this mess, Julia.

| didn't... | didn't make it.

Okay, I'm... (SIGHS)

Believe me, | wish | could go back

and | could do things differently.

But | never just didn't come home.

|, uh... (SIGHS)

| went to the trailer

and | got drunk and passed out.

(SCOFFS) What are we doing?

What are we doing? (SIGHS) Um, I...

You know, | don't know. | don't know. (SIGHS)

| Know what I'm doing.

Um...

I've got, uh, at 8:00 a.m. I'm meeting with Peet

to go over the grounds.

At 4:00, I've gotta train with Victor for Jog-A-Thon.

And, um... Oh, this is gonna be great.

Poker with your brothers, tomorrow night.

You don't have to go to that. | don't have to go?

That's not gonna be a big issue.

The Braverman hotline

won't be ringing off the hook or anything like that.

We got enough rumors flying around.

| don't know, Julia.

| don't know what we're doing with our lives.

I've just gotta...

(SIGHS) I've just gotta get on with mine.

Gosh! You're up early.

(LAUGHS) It's 10:00.

Right.

Well, okay, so, what are we gonna do today?

Oh! Uh, this gal, uh, | met on the trip, she pinged me.

She's at MoMa for the Lucian Freud exhibit.

| Know it's bad timing, but she's only here for the one night.

And, uh, | wanted to see the show anyway, SO...

Oh. (LAUGHS) You know, I...

If it's okay with you.

Yeah, yeah. Sure. Well, I've got stuff to do around here.

It's okay, yeah.

Well, I'll be home way before dinner.

I'll fix us something lovely.

Okay, well, have fun.

Okay. (LAUGHS) Thanks for understanding.

Yeah, okay. All right.

I'll see you, buongiorno.

Ah, so, you know, I've been that way

just for as long as my earliest memory.

Five, six, whatever it was.

| just kind of decided

vegetables had to be on the left side of the plate.

And things had to be just a certain way,

or | just completely freaked out.

But, uh, | got better, though,

over the years.

| got better.

|! mean, still, I... I...

|... | basically have two gears.

|... | completely shut down,

or I, uh, | go for it.

Hmm. "Tenacious" was the word

that my ex-wife used to describe me when we were married.

Later, it was, uh, "Bulldog,"

or "bully,"

or, uh, something worse than that, you know.

But, hey,

l... I'm sure a lot of people

would describe their exes like that.

Yes, they would. Yeah.

But anyway, sol... | was...

| was reading a book that Adam gave me on Asperger's

and something clicked.

Hmm.

Yeah. | mean, | don't wanna have Asperger's.

You know? Come on. It's just, uh...

Anyway, So | took that test. | took the test online.

Oh. You didn't say you took the test.

How did... How did you score?

Yeah. | didn't tell you that? Yeah, | did.

| scored, uh...

High.

Forty...

Two.

Forty two-ish, you know. Mmm-hmm.

Something like that. But it's an online test.

How accurate can that be?

It can be pretty accurate.

How do you think that these behaviors

affect other parts of your life

besides the relationship with your ex-wife?

Oh, well, um, uh...

| have a very successful business.

| had to downsize last year,

but that's because | moved to Minnesota to be with my daughter.

Mmm-hmm.

Yeah. | mean, it didn't work out.

Uh, | guess, uh, | guess things could be better, uh,

with Ruby, my daughter, uh...

| guess | wanna know if there's a reason

why I've been blowing it

with the people that | just care about the most in my life.

Uh, you know.

If | know, then maybe, uh...

Maybe | can stop blowing it.

You know? Maybe | can change.

(INHALES)

Well, Asperger's is neurological.

Sometimes knowing that you have it

can not only be a relief

but a path to acquiring tools

for, uh, healthier social relationships...

Right, so then... ...moving forward.

What are you saying then, you're saying that | do have it.

It's impossible to Know in an hour.

I'd need to spend more time with you.

I'd have you take some tests.

Ah, look. | got... | Know. | Know that you got your methods and all,

but I'm not gonna spend thousands of dollars.

I'm just... Can't you just...

Just ballpark it for me?

You know, give me... What's your gut on this?

My gut...

...1S that it's a jump ball.

The spectrum is very wide.

| can't tell you that

you definitely have Asperger's.

| got it. | know. | know.

| Know what jump ball means.

You know, I'm not that Asperger's-y.

Yeah. | get it.

You can't tell me that | do, and...

And you can't tell me that | don't.

(SIGHS) No.

(SIGHS)

Drew!

Drew, hold up! Hey.

You're, like, running...

No, I'm not. No, I'm not. ...away from me.

Yes, you are.

Are you kidding? The professor didn't even finish

giving us details for tonight. | know, I...

And you're, like, halfway out the door.

| left my notes and so...

High school girlfriend

in your dorm room?

Look, | told you | didn't want a relationship.

You don't have to be awkward around me.

(LAUGHS) I'm not awkward around you.

Okay, fine.

‘Cause | miss you.

| miss you, too.

Um, so I'll meet you tonight at 9:00?

For the bus. What...

Grizzly Peak. Are you doing this hike tonight?

Oh, | hadn't decided. Is that mandatory?

No, but, Drew, come on. We're taking Astronomy.

The Earth is, like, intersecting with a comet tonight.

Yeah?

Yeah. | don't really know what that means.

Yeah, me either. (LAUGHS) I'm really bad at science.

But | do know... I'm glad to hear you don't either. (LAUGHS)

Yeah, well. There's gonna be an awesome meteor shower.

I've never seen one. Have you?

No. They happen every year, though.

Okay. No, that's cool.

Just go do laundry with

your high school girlfriend. | get it.

(SIGHS)

Yeah, Berto mentioned the whole laundry thing.

Yeah, it sounds like it. It's precious, though. It's...

He's not very loyal. But... (LAUGHS)

No. He's just in college.

So are you.

Come on, man.

You invited Hank?

Yes. Sarah's ex-boyfriend, Hank?

Hank-Hank? Yeah.

What? We're always looking for guys to invite to the poker game.

Yeah! Normal guys.

What is that supposed to mean? Look, | like Hank.

Don't paint me out to be a bad guy for stating the obvious.

Which is what?

That he is a little weird.

He doesn't make eye contact. He mumbles.

He is not a good conversationalist.

Minimally, we can't have that. Well, not everybody

is a master of social interaction, Crosby.

Okay, well, I'm not asking that he be a master of social interaction.

I'm just saying he could be

not a freak and we could maybe all have some beers...

Look, Crosby, | invited him! ...and some cigars and...

Joke about sex. You invite guys all the time.

Yes. | invite guys who get it.

He gets it! He plays poker!

He's coming! That's it! Deal with it.

Whoa, hey, hey, hey! What? What are you so revved up about?

He has been a godsend for Max!

And | think that you could be a little nicer

about including somebody who might be slightly different.

That's all! That's my problem!

| feel like some old engine

That's lost my driving wheels

| feel like some old engine

That's lost my driving wheels

Some old engine

That's lost my driving wheels

| feel like some old engine

That's lost

My driving wheels

(DOOR SHUTS)

Zeek?

Yeah. Honey, I'm back.

I'm in here. Hey. Oh, |am so sorry...

That I'm so late, the BART was all messed up.

No, that's all right, that's all right.

Did you have fun?

Ohl!

Lucien Freud is just amazing. Hmm.

His paintings are just so rich and layered and...

Visceral, erotic.

You'd really love 'em. Hmm.

Oh, shoot, | didn't realize we don't have any food.

Yeah. Well, that's okay, Millie.

Well, | could throw something together, maybe some tuna fish.

No, honey. Sweetheart... What?

We're going out tonight.

I'm taking you to dinner.

| made a reservation at Tivoli's.

Tivoli's? Mmm-hmm.

It's molto gustoso. It's very expensive.

Yeah. And it's Italian.

Just you and me.

And | insist.

Okay.

Yeah, you can use my |.D. card just to swipe in and out of the dorm.

Okay. And then, if there's any problem, just call Berto...

And he can sign you in as a guest. Oh, wait, also...

You can, um... Yeah. you can get breakfast with this thing.

You can just scan it at the... Okay.

Dining hall. | have some money...

So, | can just get a bagel or whatever. All right.

Um... What time are you getting back?

Well, we're watching the meteor.

So, we're... We're just gonna stay in a hotel. Because it's late.

Oh, you're not coming back until tomorrow?

Yeah, no.

What? What's wrong?

Amy, I'm...

I'm worried about you, you know? You've been missing a lot of class.

| can't go back.

To Tufts? What do you mean?

| hate it there.

| mean, the girls are snobby and cold and...

The weather's depressing. And everyone is so smart.

So are you.

Yeah, well not like them. And my roommate is awful to me.

Yes, the roommate thing is difficult. | understand.

| mean, look at that poster. Well, it's...

At least yours talks to you. Mine doesn't even say hello to me.

She acts like | don't exist.

Switch roommates.

You don't understand.

What?

| started to feel alone. Like...

Like scary alone.

So you're not gonna go back?

| can't. | can't go back.

‘Cause the one thing that got me out of that scary alone place was you.

You're the only thing that makes sense to me right now.

You're kind of all | have.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Hi, what a surprise! Hi!

Hi. What's going on?

Um...

Uh-oh.

| had a friend.

A friend...

But he kissed me.

And... Wait...

He kissed you? He kissed me.

And you didn't kiss him back?

| don't...

Um, | probably should've pulled away a half a second earlier...

Than | did. (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

But | can't... It's not... It's not... We're not even friends anymore, you know?

Right. It was just like a...

Ugh. And then | thought that | should tell Joel.

But then when | told him, he didn't come home.

He slept at work... Is what he said.

For how long? Just for one night.

But...

| don't know, his boss is also... | don't Know if you

met her, or saw her...

You think there's something going on? | don't...

| hope...

Not... But his reaction was SO...

Dramatic to mine. Julia, you Know...

That | don't know if he's trying to justify something on his end.

| think that might've just been a shock that you let a half a second

too long go by.

But | don't think that it's irreparable.

| think he sounds like he got really mad.

Yeah. And that makes sense.

And he needed some time away. And that makes sense.

| hope you're right. That's...

That's that's what I'm hoping. | just... Julia...

People have their ups and downs and make mistakes.

And | just can't imagine that Joel won't forgive you and understand.

All you have is not gonna go away because of half a second.

Yeah. | really hope you're right.

|... I'm glad to hear you say that. | just don't want him to leave me, you know?

Who's gonna leave you? Nobody's gonna leave you.

Okay, okay. Okay.

No. Okay. Thank you. Gimme a hug.

I'm feeling... You just made a little mistake, that's all.

Yeah. Thank you.

(BLUES MUSIC PLAYING)

MAN: Now, uh, you been over to Donnie's?

No, | haven't been over to Donnie's.

| haven't been anywhere, as I've told you the last 47 times.

| just got here a couple hours ago, so...

(LAUGHS)

Yeah, well you... You gotta go to Donnie's.

Uh-huh. They get great bands...

And they got a mechanical bull.

My gosh. Yeah.

‘Cause you and me, you know, we could go over there and uh...

Dance and... Ride the bull.

Mmm, you know what, | think a move is a good idea.

In fact, | think I'm gonna move down to this end of the bar.

And you can stay here... Jason.

Jason. (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

It's been so nice.

You just have the best life, okay?

Come on, now. It seems like... | bought you three drinks.

Oh, you bought me three drinks?

So you think I'm gonna have sex with you?

Wow.

Do you think | owe you something?

No. That we're gonna fall in love tonight?

Oh. All I'm saying is | think we're getting along, you know?

You think we're getting along? This is what getting along is?

| thought it was more like I've just been sitting here letting you talk at me.

And say a bunch of stupid crap that | don't care about for like, two hours...

Is sort of what I'm getting from this whole scenario.

You know what? You're a little bitch, aren't you?

I'm a little bitch? I'm a little bitch?

Yeah. I'm a little bitch?

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. JASON: What the hell!

Who's the little bitch now, Jason? Whoa, calm down!

Come on! Looks like you're the bitch now, isn't it?

Jason, calm down. Get her out of here.

Yeah, Jason, calm down. BARTENDER: And you... | think it's time for you to go.

It's not my fault! I'm not the one who's harassing everybody at the bar.

Amber!

BARTENDER: You know this girl?

Yeah, he knows me.

It's all right, guys, I'm gonna go. You guys have a really good night.

| shouldn't be here anyway.

Hey, take her easy, would you, Jason? Good luck, man.

(SOBBING)

Hey, Amber. Just leave me alone!

Wait. What is going on?

(SLURRING) | just get to my car.

| just wanna go home.

You're not driving. You're drunk.

I'm fine. I'm not drunk. Just stop!

I'm trying to just go home. Gimme the keys.

Stop it! You don't know... Give me the keys.

About drinking and driving, you stupid asshole!

Look, no matter what you think about me... No!

As a father, | am not gonna let you drive stoned.

Stop it! It's really ironic that you're trying to talk to me about drinking...

Give me the keys. And driving... Just back off, okay?

Just you and your stupid ass movements about being a father.

All of a sudden, you wanna take care of me.

You don't know anything about me, man. Just...

Just back off.

Screw you!

You don't know anything!

This is your fault anyway, you stupid idiot!

My fault! How's it my fault?

| don't even know what the hell's going on! Yeah, it is! It's your fault!

Okay? Because my fiancé left me.

And | loved him and now he's gone. Okay?

So, you're mad at me because... Yeah.

You think you're gonna marry somebody like me. Right?

No. No, that's not why.

Why? It's because...

Because you're... (WEEPS)

Because I'm afraid I'm... I'm like you.

I'm afraid I'm exactly like you and...

And in the middle of nowhere, in some stupid bar.

CAMILLE: | was standing in the Palazzo Comunale...

In Montepulciano, when it hit me...

The...

Grandiosity of the world.

It... Its sheer beauty.

Magnitude.

And how little | Know of it.

How much | wanna know.

Yeah, | don't know. It's kind of a crapshoot though, isn't it?

| mean, you're standing there in all these beautiful places,

and then at the same time...

Sheesh. You're missing Amber's break-up

and you know, Kristina's election thing.

Well, that's true.

How'd she take it? How'd she take the loss?

Well, she was beautiful. | mean, she just...

She just handled it with grace. Of course.

You know, she's gonna do something.

Yeah, | think you're right.

And that's the other thing about going away.

You realize that life just goes on without you, you're not really needed.

Oh, come on.

Honey, you are so needed.

No, | don't mean it in a bad way. It's...

It's liberating. It means | can go away again.

Again? You're gonna... You're going away again?

Well, the class is taking a trip to France in three months, in April.

Three months?

| Know this is a big change for us.

And | understand why you don't wanna sell the house, | really do.

But I'm not ready to give up my dream.

I'm just not.

Because it's my dream.

And, um, | thought about it a lot when | was away.

And | figured out that if | work at the studio...

Part time...

| could probably make about three hundred dollars a week.

Which means at the end of three months...

| would have enough to cover most of the cost of the trip.

Well, there... That is good.

Okay. Well, you... You've got it all figured out. And that's good.

Yeah.

(PHONE RINGS)

(SIGHS)

Seth?

Hey. I'm just calling because...

| thought you needed to know that Amber's up here with me.

What? What is she doing there?

Oh. Getting out some anger at her old man.

Well, she had a bad break-up.

Yeah, she mentioned that.

Okay. I'll get... I'm on the way.

No, no, no, you don't have to that. She's, uh...

She's sleeping.

She was definitely upset when she got here, but she's okay now.

Oh, Seth... How did she even know where you are?

| don't have your address.

Well, she just showed up at my work.

Listen, | know, um...

My track record isn't exactly stellar...

| don't deserve this opportunity, but I'd like to try.

Try what?

Be her dad.

Yeah. Uh... Definitely.

Just tell her to call me, okay? And...

You call me. Call me tomorrow and tell me what's going on?

Of course | will.

Call me tomorrow, Seth.

Hey, Sarah, thank you.

Bye.

All right, boys. What do you say we change the game? Spice things up a little bit?

Please. It's about time. Maybe the double D's?

The spice is just fine for me. | gotta be honest with you.

Yeah? All right.

Mount Everest over here wants to keep things just as they were.

Deuces and fives are wild.

Ooh, dirty dime. All right, 25. Yes, please.

What? We're gonna play wild cards?

We're not playing wild cards, right? Mmm-hmm.

Dealer's choice, it's house rules.

Yeah, but this is a real game, though. We're playing a real game...

(ALL SPEAKING AT ONCE)

Well, we like to loosen it up towards the end of the night.

With wild cards though? Yeah.

Yeah? Duck, duck, 25.

I... I just...

If he calls deuces and fives wild, deuces and fives are wild.

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm. Double D, 25.

What about you? Seriously. |... |kKnow. Look, | called you a donkey before.

| apologize for that, ‘cause you're obviously a serious player.

Do you wanna play wild cards?

| honestly don't care. Sorry. | don't.

Well, everybody should have a... Should have a vote or something, right?

Hey, why don't you let it go?

Okay, okay, you know what?

Everybody's entitled to their opinion...

But dealer's choice? Would you just let it go?

Will, just deal the cards.

We're good with wilds. Just hit it.

(ALL SPEAKING AT ONCE)

It's a game my daughter could play.

But, uh. How could you not care?

| guess | just don't.

All right, all right, okay, let's play.

Let's play. Let's play. Here we go. Here we go.

I'm gonna sit this one out. ADAM: Let's just play.

I'm gonna sit it out. What do you mean you're gonna sit this out?

I'm gonna sit it out too. No, no, no, no, hey, Joel.

Don't sit out. What, you sit out just ‘cause he's sitting out?

No, it's not because of him.

Just let him sit out. Sometimes a guy needs to take a break.

No, sometimes a guy shouldn't take a break.

If a guy... If the going gets tough, that's the time to double down...

Don't, please.

‘Cause that's when you win.

Otherwise you lose your shirt.

| don't need a speech.

| don't need a speech. Thank you. | just... | don't need that. Um...

| don't know what the hell I'm doing here. Sorry, guys.

Joel!

Nobody likes wilds.

You Know what, I'm outta here too. This is ridiculous.

| don't need this either.

All right, we'll see ya. Well, let's just take a break.

HANK: We can play four... Crosby, you wanna go to Cheetah's?

HANK: Are we done? | would love to go to Cheetah's, but...

| got a baby that's gonna wake up in five hours, so...

All right. Anyone else? They got two-for-one well drinks tonight.

I'm not gonna go. Say hello to Peppermint, though.

Yeah, guys. I'm gonna go too, man. | got kids, you know?

Kids? Might as well call it a night.

Oh, my God. This is pathetic.

| am never ever having kids. Okay?

Guys, we could still play. Just take a break?

Game's over, throw in the towel.

That's where you hung it, huh?

Yeah, it looks good there, right?

It'd be better over there.

People see it aS soon as they come in then.

Oh, right there? Yeah.

Well, that's... We got the Janis there already.

Yeah, but the Janis looks like some kid at a concert took it.

Right. Well, you know what? We can... We can switch them.

Crosby's real fond of that Janis portrait, but...

Yeah. It's all good.

You know what, apologize to him, really, from me. I...

| didn't mean to ruin the game. Oh, you didn't ruin the game.

And your brother-in-law too, apologize about the uh, wilds. | got a...

Little bit tenacious there.

Like, | don't Know, wilds, what...

| mean, it just takes strategy out of the game.

And what are we here for, you know?

And it wasn't about the wilds.

My brother-in-law has some other stuff going on. So...

Don't worry about it. It wasn't you.

You like Cubanos?

What, cigars? Yeah.

Yeah. | didn't mention these before ‘cause | only brought two.

Secret stash, there. Oh, thank you very much.

| got those from a guy who owns an alligator.

Guy. Wait a minute, don't... Let me clip it.

Listen, uh...

Remember the other day, | came by for Dr. Pelikan's number?

Yeah, for the other thing.

Yeah, the other thing.

The other thing is me.

What? You?

Yeah. Yeah, I'd been thinking that, uh...

Maybe | might have some of those Asperger's qualities.

You didn't notice anything?

No. Uh-uh. Uh-uh, not at all.

| mean, maybe a little bit with the wild card thing.

Hmm. I'm kidding.

So, what, uh... What did Dr. Pelikan have to say?

Jump ball.

Could have it. Could not.

Hmm.

Jump ball.

Hey there, new friend across the sea

If you figure things out, would you figure in me?

Wouldn't it be a thing to live somewhere quietly

Where there's a breeze, and there's a reason for us to be

Hey. Did you forget something?

(LAUGHS) Yes.

Hey, there

New friend, hmm

Across the sea. If you figure things out, would you figure in me?

| found

The more | think, the harder it is for me to breathe

When we're way happy

And how long

Has that been?

I'm moving out, Julia.

Joel, please.

I'll start looking for a place tomorrow.

Oh.

Ow.

Thanks for letting me stay here.

Sure.

There's a somebody I'm longing to see

Look...

About last night, | just... | said some stuff.

I'm just sorry.

(SIGHS)

Really...

I've really got to stop being so mad at you.

| gotta let it go.

Well, you got a lot off your chest, and, uh, they say that helps.

You know, for the record, you...

(CLEARS THROAT)

You're not like me.

If you were, you... You wouldn't still be here.

You would have left without saying goodbye.

You could never be me.

Won't you tell him please?

‘Cause you got your mother in you.

Put on some speed

Follow my lead

‘Cause oh

Mmm.

These are really good.

Someone to watch

That's Bisquick. You must still be drunk.

(BOTH LAUGH)

| wouldn't be surprised.

Over me
