Original subtitles

The house is on the market? When were you gonna tell me this?

We don't have to run anything by you or anyone else.

ADAM: Where do you put a kid who doesn't belong anywhere?

KRISTINA: As far as I'm concerned the only way to get a school for him

is if we start one ourselves.

You wanted this free-spirited thing, and | just need rules.

Maybe we should be just friends.

| don't understand why you would leave me.

| wanna go home. It's not fair.

JULIA: /t’s so quiet in here. It just, it feels empty. It sounds empty.

So, it's kinda turning into something?

With Carl? No. Yeah.

| may be falling for you.

(CHUCKLING)

I'm going to Africa.

(LAUGHING)

A simple, "I gotta go," will do.

(LAUGHING) No.

No, I've gotta go, uh, for work to Zimbabwe for a week.

Oh, my God.

| don't really wanna go without you.

That'd be sad.

Come with me?

What?

Come with me, come with me to Africa.

Really? Really.

Really, really. Yeah.

| can't go. | have work. | have a deadline. You can.

| have a Surfsport important deadline.

Oh, stop it with the Surfsport deadline.

Get an... People get extensions for those things, right?

| mean, does anybody really make deadlines anymore?

It's so 70s.

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

Come with me. You will feel so inspired there.

You'll photograph things you've never dreamed of.

Okay.

Okay? Yeah.

Okay. (CHUCKLING)

Okay.

Yeah, you're gonna wanna tear down the shed, of course.

It's not a shed, it's a barn.

Oh, it makes the house look old.

Look, little changes like these,

the house is gonna fly off the market.

| think she knows what she's talking about.

(MUTTERING) | need you... What are you doing?

| hate this Karen lady.

CROSBY: Her Bluetooth, and that clipboard.

Her felt boots.

| mean, she's the worst. Oh, God. Come on. Stay out of it.

Look at her. (IMITATING KAREN) You gotta do this, and this, and this...

KAREN: Okay, you are definitely gonna wanna refinish these floors.

If itis the one thing that you do,

the list price will go up by 10 percent.

People love floors.

KAREN: Hey, guys! Hi.

Oh, hey, Kare. Hey. Hi.

And don't mind us, we're just going through our punch list.

Ah. We are gonna get your parents’ house ready to sell!

| could redo the floors, you know? CROSBY: Great.

CAMILLE: No, you couldn't. | think they need to be done professionally.

You definitely have to do them professionally, guys. Right.

Come on, let's go upstairs.

We're gonna de-clutter these bedrooms.

Did you just hear that?

"We're gonna de-clutter these bedrooms?"

Oh, I'm sure that the crib is cluttering up the bedroom.

Maybe we should get rid of that.

Maybe even the kids, those are a real clutter.

You really need to drop this. You sound really crazy right now.

Did you see my father? Mmm-hmm.

Did you see the look on his face? They're running over him.

We're guests in their house, just... He's like a bobblehead.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say."

That's not even my dad that was walking...

Look. ...behind those two crazy women.

If you butt in, you're gonna make things more awkward than it already is.

All right? I'm sleep-deprived, I'm breast-feeding,

and I'm living with my in-laws.

So, please, just...

Stay out of it, okay?

Fine. Thank you.

(MUTTERING) Punch list.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(SCOFFING)

Hey.

Hey.

Happy Green Week. Happy Green Week.

Our garden sucks. Yup.

So...

I, uh... Hey.

Listen. |, uh...

| heard that Joel moved out.

Oh, no, no. | just wanted you to know...

I'm not talking about that with you.

Okay, | just wanted you to know that I've been there and...

Listen, Ed? It's Green Week.

We're gonna be together.

We're gonna talk about vegetables and recycling and our crappy garden

and I'm not gonna talk about my personal stuff with you.

| can't be actual friends with you.

Got it.

All right.

| just dropped 200 bucks on vegetable plants at the garden center.

So. Are you seriously gonna try to fake...

They just magically grew overnight?

Yeah.

Got a better idea?

Let's make it happen.

All right, let's just get this done.

God, this is a disaster.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Hey, boys.

Hi.

Amber. AMBER: How's it going?

What are you doing here? BERTO: What's up, Little Drew?

"Little Drew?"

He doesn't know... What's going on?

Nothing, I... You haven't been texting me back.

| brought your favorite chocolate. Ah. God.

Thank you. How you doing?

| Know, I'm sorry, I've been busy. Busy eating in bed?

This spicy treat? (DREW MUTTERING)

Or is it busy listening to Neo Wave emotional rap?

Is that what we're... Please. Amber.

| thought so. Not today.

Look, | Know it's upsetting. | mean, we got dumped.

It's bad. |... | didn't get dumped.

Fair enough. But listen, we have to move on.

We gotta mix it up! lam.

AMBER: You! You're vibrant. You're, you know, excitable. What's happening?

Is there an event? He's the wrong person to ask.

Like a dance coming up, or something that we could...

There's a party at Psi Alpha Zeta.

Thursday night. Uh-oh.

Exactly, these are the options.

...watermelon ice luge. Some bikini mud wrestling. Excellent.

Should we go to dinner at like, 5:30, and then walk over together, or something?

5:30?

The, uh... The party starts at 10:30.

DREW: Yes. Exactly. It starts at 10:30.

That's, it's very late. All right, so we take a nap.

And then we do this thing right.

Thursday, 10:30.

See you there. Put on real pants. (CHUCKLING)

See you guys later.

Dude, your sister's kind of hot.

No, she's not, Berto.

(PHONE RINGING) (CLEARING THROAT)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

ADAM: Doing all right?

Hmm? You okay?

You feel nervous?

No.

You're gonna be fine. | Know I'm gonna be fine.

| just feel like we've been waiting for a while.

Yeah.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

ADAM: It's the school calling.

Want me to take that?

No.

| will. Okay.

Thank you.

Hello? Hey. Hey, Deb. Yeah.

Thank you so much for calling me back.

Um, | was just... | was hoping to talk to Principal Radford.

Yeah, this is...

Well, itis an urgent matter.

It's concerning my son, Max.

And Mr. Knight took away his chair in class and...

This whole thing is just, it's so ridiculous to me,

because this just happened in History,

like, he's being sent to the library for the duration of History class,

and I'm just not understanding it.

NURSE: Kristina Braverman? KRISTINA: It's frustrating.

Well, | know that you're a parent, what if... Kristina.

| feel like you're giving up on my kid.

Kristina. It's...

Um, I'm gonna call you back.

KRISTINA: Hey. We're ready for you.

Thank you.

How are you?

NURSE: Okey-dokey. Good to see you. KRISTINA: Good to see you.

All right, uh, we're... We're through here, Kristina.

Great. Thank you so much.

Everything looks good?

Everything looks great so far.

Great. We'll call you with the results in a couple of days.

Hopefully, you'll be able to say that you are one year cancer-free.

Uh, you can get dressed now, Kristina.

(DOOR CLOSING)

Just a couple days.

Yeah.

A couple days.

Welcome to Green Week!

ED: Yeah! Whoo! And to your garden!

Look at this! All those teeny, tiny little seeds that you planted

are big, beautiful, tasty vegetables now! Look!

GIRL: Where did these come from?

These weren't here yesterday.

Well, the... Oh, they've been here for...

They've been growing over the last month.

This is all... JULIA: Yeah.

ED: This is all your stuff! All right, let's pluck some vegetables!

JULIA: Let's do it! Where did the corn come from, daddy?

Uh, we plucked it yesterday.

| didn't see it here yesterday. Well, it was...

It was, it was just in the ground. You didn't see it.

Go help... Go over to Mrs. Graham.

So what we're doing is we're getting the green leaves

off the outside, and then all the silky little gold bits,

get those off so you don't have hairy corn!

ALL: Eww! Yeah!

Mommy? We need to talk. Okay. What's up?

Tomorrow's funky pajama day at school,

and | wanna wear my jammies with the green and pink polka dots.

Uh-huh. But they're at our house,

and I'm supposed to sleep at Daddy's tonight.

Okay, well, | will go home and grab your funky pajamas

and bring them over to Dad's.

| don't want you to drop them off.

| want to stay at our house.

Okay. Well, sweetie, | get that, but...

It's Dad's night, so you gotta stay over there.

| don't wanna stay at Daddy's stupid apartment!

The bedroom's too small, and it smells like paint! Okay.

Is everything okay?

My pajamas are at our house and | wanna sleep with you tonight!

Sweetie, no.

We have a schedule, and tonight is Dad's night.

So, that's the way it has to be.

No, | wanna stay with you.

Please. Please just shuck some corn, please?

No, | don't want to. | wanna sleep with you tonight.

Okay, you can sleep with me tonight.

Okay. Okay?

Thank you. SYDNEY: Okay.

GIRL: There's a worm in the corn!

Oh, no! ALL: Eew!

There's worms in the ground and that's where this stuff comes from.

It's all natural and it's good for you.

You're growing your own vegetables,

you get some worms! Yep.

| did a very good job on that.

| took the photo on that one. You didn't take the photo on that one.

| took the photo on that one, | did.

| set it up. All you did was "click." You set it up.

You did set it up... "Oh, my finger. Ow, it hurts. Click."

But it's the ex... It's mostly the execution.

| see. | understand. That's how it is.

Okay. Well, anyway, | like it.

All right. | think that's the cover.

| do too.

| think they're gonna be happy.

Hey, so I'm gonna be gone for, uh...

Just a week, next week.

And then I'll be on email...

(CLEARING THROAT) Stuff.

But I'll finish up when | get back. What are you...

What do you mean?

| got a personal thing.

Well, this...

A week from Monday is...

The deadline on this.

| know. Well, we might have to move the deadline just a few days.

I'm sure you'll be fine. You know what? | don't move deadlines.

| don't get it, what's going on?

What are you doing? Are you going to the Caribbean?

| have a personal matter. Where you going?

| heard that. Personal matter.

But what does that mean?

It means, Hank, that | don't have to tell you what I'm doing, because it's personal.

And our relationship is professional.

HANK: That's what I'm talking about.

(SCOFFING)

I'm gonna check something in the dark room.

Mom, where's the lasagna leftovers?

What, you mean that little bit?

It's in the freezer. Oh, hello!

What are you doing home?

Uh, Adam had a work meeting so | decided to come home.

What are you painting? Um, that little bedroom. Upstairs. Lilac.

By "that little bedroom," you mean my little bedroom? You're painting it lilac?

Yeah. Why would you paint my bedroom lilac?

Because It's a soft, beautiful color.

It's warm and inviting.

This has nothing to do with Karen telling you,

“Maybe you should paint my bedroom without asking me?"

No.

No? It has nothing to do with that? No!

No, I'm a painter, remember?

| know a little something about color.

And, uh, it hasn't been your bedroom in about 15 years.

(MICROWAVE BEEPING) Okay.

Well, be that as it may, | get a distinct impression that this is somehow being

orchestrated by that Karen lady, like, you know....

"We gotta get this thing in tip-top shape so we can move this unit," and,

you know, "whatever the cost may be."

I'm sure my family's an inconvenience to that plan,

maybe | can get them out of here.

Okay, now you're being ridiculous. If she thinks that's...

I'm not being ridiculous.

| don't want you and your buddy Karen to steamroll Dad.

What? It's a mutual decision.

It is not mutual, | talked to him!

He doesn't wanna sell this place.

You positioned this so it's a choice between you and the house.

Of course he's gonna pick you! You know what, Crosby?

This is between me and your father,

and | just really don't wanna get into it with you.

Okay, well if he's not gonna stick up for himself, then someone has to!

Yeah, and who's gonna stand up for me? Nobody's standing up for me.

You don't need anyone to stand up for you.

You're the one that's trying to sell this house out from under the entire family.

We have an attachment to this place.

It's very selfish!

Selfish?

Yes, | think this action is selfish.

Okay, let me put this into some perspective for you.

| spent over 30 years of my life

taking care of four kids.

Some of whom are still living in my house and coming home for lunch.

And | spent most of my adult life

compromising myself,

and what | want, for your father.

| have always put myself second,

or third, or fourth, or fifth, or sixth.

| have cooked your dinners, | have packed you school lunches.

| have driven you to play dates, and practice,

and done your laundry well past when | should have.

And now, when | assert

one thing that | want,

one thing,

you, and your dad, and everyone else, can't take it.

So, If that's selfish...

(INHALING)

Excuse me.

KRISTINA: Honey, just so you know, I'm gonna be mean, I'm gonna be really, really mean.

Well, remember, this is our son's teacher.

Max seems to like the guy. He doesn't deserve to be called a teacher.

He's like a troll. He's a waste of space.

He's everything that's wrong with this country.

And he's a waste of taxpayers’ dollars.

I'm just sick and tired of this stuff happening with Max.

Okay, | think this is it. You ready? You good?

Good. Yeah. Are you sure?

Ready to meet the troll?

Open the troll door.

Mr. and Mrs. Braverman? Yep.

All right. I'm Mr. Knight, Max's English teacher.

Come in. Nice to meet you.

Come on.

So, I'm actually getting my PhD right now at Berkeley

and one of the crazy, fascinating things that I've been studying is that

sitting in chairs is a totally antiquated idea.

|! mean, kids like Max, they learn better

and they're far more engaged when they're up, you know?

They're walking around, they're interacting with the class.

| mean, otherwise half their energy is wasted

trying to force themselves to sit still, you Know?

Right. That makes sense.

Yeah, | mean, | Know | do better when I'm up.

| can't sit still for anything, | like to move my body, you know?

Yeah, | like to move my body too. Yes.

Yeah. Yeah.

| mean, you would not believe the progress

that he's made in one week since | took his Chair away.

Wow. ADAM: Hmm.

That's a brilliant kid you got there.

Thank you. That is so nice to hear.

Thanks.

Well, look, | get it.

This school can be a tough place.

Now, honestly, | wish that there were more schools that catered to kids like Max.

| mean, he's such a smart kid, that...

It's So crazy that you're saying that because we were actually thinking about...

Well, we were talking about possibly starting our own school.

A charter school. Yeah.

For the in-between kids, like Max, who, you know, are gifted and do well,

but need a little extra attention, like you said.

Cool, so...

Well, that's, um... That's great. That's great.

Uh, you don't look like you think that's great.

Well, it's just that charter schools are tough.

There's a lot of red tape. We know that.

We're not really afraid of red tape.

| mean, we've dealt with other things before, so...

Well, honestly...

A lot of times they, they just don't last.

The parents will start a charter school for their own kid.

The kid graduates, the parents lose interest, and the school falls apart.

Well, we wouldn't... We wouldn't do that. We wouldn't...

Of course not, I'm not saying that at all.

It's just, I've seen this before.

It's gonna be a lot harder than you think.

Hey. Hi.

Um, it's my day, right? Yeah.

Okay. Just, it's Green Week, so...

Ah, right. | was here.

The Sustainability Committee. Yeah.

So | have to talk to you.

Um, Sydney was really upset about spending the night at your place,

so | was wondering if she could stay at the house tonight,

and maybe you guys could have like a boys night?

No.

No, that's... The therapist said that was like the...

(STAMMERING) Exactly the wrong thing to do right now.

Yeah, but she was throwing a tantrum

in front of the whole class,

and, you know, wanted these specific pajamas for tomorrow,

and she doesn't sleep well at your house.

So, | just... You said "yes?"

(SIGHING) Julia.

It's...

Come on, that's like...

The therapist told us we have to set up a routine and be consistent with the schedule.

That was like the most important thing right now. | Know.

| want to be consistent.

(STAMMERING) | really. | do. But she's just...

| don't know. You try telling her "no" in front of the whole class.

| told her "no" in front of the class for eight years.

It's not fun.

But it's better than the opposite, you know?

If we don't stick to what we've set up, what we've laid out...

Okay.

Sorry.

(BELL RINGING) I'll tell her that she's coming home with me, and...

Maybe, uh, you better...

Maybe it's better if you go, so she doesn't see you.

Oh. And you can drop the pajamas Off later.

Okay.

I'll see you later then.

Yeah. Okay. Okay.

I'm coming in tomorrow.

Tomorrow, okay.

It's not my day. That's all right. Well, ask your parents first.

Then you can come.

Since Aunt Sarah's going to Africa next week,

can | help work on the Surfsport project instead?

What are you talking about?

Aunt Sarah's going to Africa next week,

with her boyfriend, so | wanted to work on the Surfsport project.

Max, wait a minute. Are you sure about this?

You've said on several different occasions

that | have a better eye than Aunt Sarah.

You've said it seven times.

You also said that she talks too much when she works,

and | rarely talk when | work.

(SIGHING) Personal business, eh?

(CHUCKLING)

Can | work on the Surfsport project?

Yeah. Uh, you know what? Yes, okay.

Uh, we're gonna talk about this later. Let's pack up...

The stuff. I'm gonna close up the shop early today.

Why?

Uh, personal business.

| got to, uh... What does that mean? What do you have to do?

Don't worry about it. Come on, I'll drive you home.

You wanna drive? You wanna walk?

You wanna get a yogurt? I'll give you a couple of dollars.

You can get a yogurt. I like yellow M&M's as a topping.

Natalie, hey.

Wow. You emerged.

Yeah, you hear about the party tonight?

Yeah, | live on this campus, | heard about the party tonight.

Okay. Well, | was just gonna see if you were going.

Um...

| don't know, maybe you wanna go together?

You wanna go toa frat party with me? Yes.

| know that it's weird. My sister and l, we made this plan to go.

So, | was gonna see...

| don't get you, Drew.

| don't. Like, at first, you're like, "I like you, | want a relationship,"

and then your ex-girlfriend comes and basically lives with you, which is...

| have... That was kind of a... That was really weird, man.

Well, it was a special circumstance. Cause...

And then you disappear.

For, like, three weeks.

Now, you suddenly emerge, you pretend like nothing ever happened,

and you wanna take me to a frat party.

Which I'm pretty sure is the last place you said you ever wanted to be seen with me.

So... | Know.

Yeah.

No.

No, | don't wanna go to a frat party with you.

Well, okay, because | said | wanted a relationship,

you said you wanted to be friends, which is what I'm trying to do.

Right.

| gotta go. | have class. Okay.

Your co-worker is going to Africa.

That's your emergency?

Yeah, she's going with some guy.

Some... Some friend, | guess. | don't know.

| don't know what itis, but she lied, that's the thing.

She told me it was a personal matter.

Well, it sounds like maybe it is.

No, she lied because she knew that it was BS, and that | would call her on it.

So, this woman. Sarah?

She's your co-worker, working on a project together.

Yeah. And that's it?

Yeah, that's it. We dated once.

Hmm. Is that what you're getting at?

Once. Yeah, it was a...

While ago. Year ago, about.

No big deal though. Uh-huh.

So it wasn't serious?

No. No, it wasn't serious.

(STAMMERING) You know, | mean, | loved her, but...

She loved me, | think.

But anyway, So now we're just... It's totally platonic.

She's my coworker.

Maybe a friend, although she's really annoying.

But it's not about that, it's about...

What?

I'm trying to figure everything out.

You know, last time you told me what to say.

And, uh, | didn't do that well.

So, in your own words, are you able to tell Sarah how you feel about her?

| mean, | can tell her how | feel, | just...

| don't think she's gonna like it.

| think it's important that you're honest with her.

Yeah, honesty, that's, uh, hasn't worked for me, historically.

| know,

but you came to me because you wanted a change,

didn't you?

Yeah. Sometimes, even if it's

not comfortable,

you have to take that leap.

Yeah.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Hi. What are you doing here?

Um, well, | tried to talk to you at the school, but you didn't really let me.

But it... that's okay. Um, | just wanted to say that...

| Know what you're going through right now.

And I'm sorry.

And it's really hard, especially the first few weeks.

And if you need anything at all... Seriously?

What? You're... You're seriously...

You're coming here, at night, to my house,

to see if | need anything?

To say that you're sorry?

Yeah.

Did it ever occur to you that this is your fault?

Uh, not really.

You're the reason Joel left.

| told him what happened and he left.

And now we're shuttling our kids back and forth

with these little roller suitcases and

I'm here in this big house, alone, by myself half the time

and the man that I've been in love with for 12 years can hardly look me in the face.

So, | don't really wanna have a nice chat about it with you.

Thanks, anyway.

| really... | just wish I'd never met you.

Okay.

Look, I'm sorry for coming by,

and I'm sorry for whatever part | played in this,

but if you honestly think that I'm the sole reason

why you and Joel are having problems,

then you're just kidding yourself.

And if you really want your marriage back,

you're gonna have to dig a little deeper.

All right, good. Feel loose? Feel good? | don't wanna be here.

I'm like, already wasted... It's gonna be good. Me too.

...from us drinking before we got here.

Doesn't matter. We're gonna have a good time, come on!

We're excited! Natalie talked to me earlier and...

No, no, no, no, no. She was mad at me.

Yes, and then... (SHUSHING) No "Natalie."

This is not about Natalie.

This is about you and me and the...

The fun folks that we used to be, okay? All right, you're right.

It's gonna be good for us to let loose.

Yeah. And | have another idea.

We're gonna make a deal. Pinky kiss.

We are going to each make out with somebody tonight.

| can't promise that. We have to. Come on, we have to!

We have to. Pinky kiss. Make out with someone?

Yes.

Yeah, all right, okay. Whoo, we can do this!

It's gonna be good. Let's just stick together for a second.

I'm just saying that a couple,

by definition, is two.

So when they say they're gonna call in a couple of days,

they should call in two days.

Honey, I'm sure we're gonna hear about it tomorrow. It's fine.

Don't worry. You're stressing out over nothing.

I'm sorry, it's... | Know everything's gonna be fine.

You're gonna get a great report. You're so healthy, so...

I'm really healthy. The end, I'm done.

Dr. Bedsloe said he would call if he knew anything ahead of time.

I'm sure they're just... Right.

Checking everything to make sure. Okay.

You know, | just was thinking about Mr. Knight.

Even though he's a little unconventional,

| think his philosophy is just...

| don't know, it's kind of outstanding, and it's different.

Mmm-hmm. And he's very smart.

Yeah, he's really smart. | don't Know, just the way that he is...

Yeah. Yeah. And what he emulates and just puts off...

Puts off, yeah. Puts out there.

Why are you looking at me like that?

You got a little tongue-tied when you were talking to him.

No, | didn't. Kristina, it's okay if you find him attractive.

Stop it, | don't find him attractive. I'm secure.

Listen. This is what I'm saying. All right, I'm listening.

He made some really valid points about the school, you know?

| just feel like | don't wanna start something and get in over our head.

And it's a huge... We're always in over our heads.

You just ran for mayor, remember that?

Yeah, | do remember that.

| don't want this to be unrealistic.

And | wanna make sure that this is something

that we can follow through on.

Doesn't sound like you, Kristina, being afraid of something unrealistic.

I'm not afraid of it, Adam. I'm just saying...

And you know what? It's a great idea. You had a great idea.

And we're starting this school because our son Max deserves a good place to learn.

And so do other kids like Max.

Yeah, | know.

And one handsome teacher who's got an awesome personality,

does not a bad idea make. | didn't say that.

Okay? It's a good idea.

And that's why we need to do this.

| love you.

(KNOCKING ON WINDOW) Ahh! Oh, my God.

It's me. Hank!

Yeah. Ugh.

What's wrong with you?

It's late. You scared me.

| know it's late, that's why | looked in there.

But | can see right in there. That's, uh...

Don't knock from the street. It's crazy.

What are you doing? Are you packing up?

For, uh... For the personal matter?

Yeah, lam.

Well, you got a malaria net?

Oh, well, | guess you know I'm going to Africa, and you're mad about it.

I'm not mad. I'm not mad.

No? No, nobody said | was mad.

Well, what? I'm disappointed.

Uh-huh. I'm disappointed, yeah.

We started this project and...

And | saw something new in you.

You really wanted this. You were focused.

And | thought that we were making something that could turn out to be really good.

Yeah, but then... Then you just started doing... We are. We will.

Something that I've seen you do your...

Your whole life. I'm seeing patterns.

You've got a good job here, you've got a great opportunity...

And you're blowing it off for some guy.

What is this? What are you doing? | don't know, listen...

Maybe you're scared, maybe deep down you think, uh...

You can't make it as a photographer.

Whatever it is, and this is regardless of what | think of that guy,

which is that he pretty much sucks,

in case you were wondering, because he gets you the job...

He didn't get me the job. Well, whatever.

He helped you do it and now he's telling you that it doesn't matter.

I'm just... I'm reporting to you that I'm seeing you do what you always do.

Mmm-hmm? You put a man before yourself.

| don't think you should do that. Okay.

Thank you. Thank you for that. Are you done?

Are you pissed at me? Yes, lam.

Because, uh, you're coming over here and reporting... I'm just trying to be honest.

Your honesty... I'm just trying to be honest.

| didn't ask.

How dare you tell me about my problems, and patterns,

when | don't see you any more connected to somebody

than you were when we were together.

| mean, you're Mr. Perfect Relationship, great-career guy? No.

I'm taking a once in a lifetime opportunity... Okay.

To do something very cool, and...

Why do you have to come over and make me feel bad about it?

All right.

It was a bad idea. I'm gonna go.

Enjoy your trip.

You know what, I'll email you, if something comes up with the project.

(DOOR CLOSING) (SIGHING)

CAMILLE: Come on, Zeek. We've been back and forth with this for months now.

And finally we reach a careful,

and, what | thought was, a mutual decision,

and | think that at last it's finally over and you won't drop it.

Instead, you enlist your son... No.

To fight your battles. No, | didn't enlist anybody, Camille.

| do not know what the hell you're talking about.

He called me selfish.

CAMILLE: Crosby. JASMINE: Hey.

What are you doing? It's after midnight. Shh!

What are you doing? Come here, come here.

Listen, to this. ZEEK: Look.

ZEEK: Crosby, Jasmine, the kids, they're here, | mean, so what?

CAMILLE: Yeah... I've been listening to their fights

for 30 years through this vent.

And let me tell you, this is a bad one.

This is not good.

She said that | was the most selfish member of this family.

(SCOFFING) That's clearly Sarah.

Clearly. That's how wound up she is.

No objectivity.

CAMILLE: Hopefully, unlike Sarah, they won't stay here for years and years.

Oof, that's harsh. I'm glad Sarah didn't hear that.

You said something to her, didn't you?

| tried to have an adult conversation with her, but...

| told you not to say anything, you promised.

| said... Listen, it was going fine.

But | mentioned the word "selfish," which | believe she's being,

and she went ballistic. Oh, my God!

| told you this was gonna blow up. | told you.

And you never said anything to Crosby

about wanting to sell the house, right? Oh, for Pete's sake.

ZEEK: | mean, all | did was have an honest face-to-face conversation with my own son.

ZEEK: Look, sweetheart... We cannot stay here.

We gotta go.

We gotta get out of this house.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey. Hey.

Quite a party, huh?

Yeah. Whoo.

I'm sure I'll never have this chance again.

But | was getting ready, and...

And | looked in the bathroom mirror.

And you know that sticker | have? Yeah. Yeah, | do.

The, uh... | saw that. "The Year of Sarah."

"The Year of Sarah," | wrote. | wasn't gonna ask, but I...

When | moved in, | put that up,

as corny as that seems,

to remind myself

what a big year this is,

finally living on my own.

Not in my parents’ house.

My kids are doing well.

I'm starting a new career.

| have a tendency to get distracted.

And | put that note up to remind myself

not to get distracted.

| guess distractions can be dangerous.

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

Especially when...

they look so good.

Then I'm guessing, when | get back, that's...

Yeah, um... | don't think...

Yeah.

Well, I've got a plane to catch.

Have a great time.

I'll see you around.

I'll see you around.

JULIA: So tomatoes are just one of the many vegetables we have here today.

Tomatoes are a fruit.

Okay. Really?

Yeah. Tomatoes are a fruit.

Everyone knows that.

Okay, well...

Did you even do your research before you came in to teach us?

Yes, | did.

This carrot tastes like dirt.

It's disgusting. I'm not eating it.

Ah! It's a vegetable!

Uh, there was a Supreme Court case in 1893,

and they decided that tomatoes are indeed a vegetable.

What do you think the, uh, tomato said on the stand?

Huh?

SYDNEY: Nothing? ED: Yeah.

You think that tastes like dirt?

Yeah. Have you had much dirt?

SYDNEY: None at all. ED: Well, I'm kind of a dirt connoisseur.

So, we could do a little taste test.

Have a bowl of dirt and a carrot, and we could try ‘em side by side.

A little comparison. What do you say?

I'm not tasting dirt with you.

That's fair enough. It does taste a little like dirt.

| told you.

(SCOFFING) Okay.

Hey, honey. In there, you cook it up.

Be careful with that, though, ‘cause It's a little bit... Yeah.

lewd... She just wanted to see what you were cooking.

You might turn it down a little bit. Just some spaghetti.

(LAUGHING) (CELL PHONE RINGING)

Okay. Hey, honey, um... Yeah?

Hello.

It's gonna be scan to scan every six months. | Know.

We're gonna have to keep doing this and keep on...

Waiting for something bad to happen.

Okay, we're not those people who are gonna wait for something bad to happen.

Okay? No, we're not.

We're the people who are gonna make things happen, right?

(SNIFFLING) Yeah. Come on.

We're gonna make it happen. (BOTH CHUCKLING)

KRISTINA: Hi.

Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Braverman?

Hey. Yeah. Hi, um...

We just wanted to stop by and talk to you

about what you said about starting the charter school

the other day when we were having the conversation, and...

We realize this is incredibly inappropriate for us to just drop by unannounced.

Right.

And what you were saying about other parents that, you know.

That don't finish things. What they start.

And maybe only doing a charter school for four years.

We want to tell you that we are not those parents.

We don't wanna start something that we can't finish. Okay.

We wanna open a school that's gonna run forever and ever.

ADAM: Yep. And | just got a clean bill of health,

and it sounds crazy for me to be telling you this, but I'm sticking around.

And | wanna stick around long enough, not just to help my kid, but to help all kids.

A lot of kids, a lot of families.

And we want your help. Yes, we do want your help.

We have the passion, and the balls, and the energy, and the drive,

and we need an educator that's gonna come in

and drive that train with us, and help us. We're here...

To ask you... And we think that person's you.

If you would run the school, we hope to open up in the fall.

You know, I've never had parents come to my house before.

I'm so sorry about that. Sorry about that.

It's just, this is important to us... It's really rude...

ADAM: Very sorry. | like it.

Tell me more about the school.

Okay, well we see a small school. Small school.

You know, faculty/student ratio is four-to-one at the very most.

And a scholarship program is really important to us.

ADAM: Yep. So it doesn't just benefit

the wealthy kids. It benefits all kids.

We're looking out for the kids, we've just seen

too many of these kids just fall through the cracks. Yeah.

Mmm-hmm. Social skills.

We wanna talk about that, social skills is... You know...

Why don't we talk about this over coffee?

You guys wanna come in and have a coffee?

| love coffee! Yeah? Okay.

ADAM: (CHUCKLING) All right, thank you.

Hey, don't beat yourself up about it.

Marriage is hard.

That's why it has such an awesome success rate.
