Original subtitles

Is this a trial separation with the hopes of reconciliation?

| don't know, uh, right now.

DR. HARRISON: Okay.

NATALIE: | don't get you, Drew.

Your ex-girlfriend comes and basically... Oh.

Lives with you. Because | said | wanted a relationship.

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

| gotta go. | have, uh, class.

If we could, you know, do the job together. Just like we used to.

Except that I'm the boss. (SCOFFS)

This is between me and your father.

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

It's very selfish!

(STUTTERING) We have an, an attachment to this place.

RENEE: I'm not gonna let you procrastinate any longer.

Procrastinate? RENEE: It's happening Sunday.

Mom, | Know you wanna get this done, but it's very bad timing for us.

It's very, very bad timing. Just across the board. Yeah.

It's not like I'm asking to get the baby a haircut,

this is Aida's soul that we're talking about.

Renee, we know how important it is to you

and we're gonna do it.

We will do it. Just... JASMINE: Yeah.

Important to me? Yeah!

Jasmine? You're doing this for me? No. No!

Because | recall your saying that

Jabbar's baptism was one of the most beautiful moments of your life.

And it was, Mom.

But this is different, Mom. I'm in a marriage now,

and living with my in-laws.

We're not in our own space.

We can't host a brunch or do anything. It's not the right time.

Camille is a wonderful host, she would love

to put out some muffins for her grandbaby's salvation.

No, Mom. They're selling the house. The house is for sale.

Oh. Your parents are selling their house? Yeah.

Yeah. See? So, I'll throw the brunch.

Problem solved. You're gonna throw the brunch. Okay.

Mom! You live in a box.

There's no room for anyone.

A box full of love,

and joy is a beautiful box. JASMINE: No.

There's another problem. There's a bigger problem.

Oh, come on, guys. No, this...

The godparents are currently separated.

Joel and Julia? Yeah.

| mean, we hope that they'll get back together but...

Oh, that's shocking. I'm so sorry to hear that.

They were so perfect.

| Know. Well, now they're in a state of limbo. So...

Which is exactly where Aida will be if you don't get her baptized.

So, you two need to choose a new godfather.

Okay, | am not going to un-ask Joel to be the godfather.

Yeah, that's... We can't do that. Crosby,

you do not want a godfather who has one foot out the door.

So, you let me know.

Sounds very settled. We'll see you Sunday.

Mmm.

Hug? See you Sunday. Mmm-hmm.

(SARAH GASPS) MAX: That's so cool!

HANK: It's the nuance, right? That looks so good, doesn't it?

(LAUGHS) It's pretty good, the nuance. This is, uh...

Oh, except the greens. They're too dark. Beautiful.

No, | like the greens. Oh, but the yellow helps it.

Remember what | told you. No. Right, no.

You said they're like kissing Cousins.

| don't know what that means though.

Well, they help each other out. Guys...

The gradation on the yellow is perfect. The green is fine.

It's a little oversaturated. Can we do the same thing

with the green that we did with the yellow? Why is it oversaturated?

MAX: No? HANK: No, let's Photoshop it.

What are you doing? Where are you going?

HANK: You know what you gotta do with the colors. | like it.

HANK: Remember the time we did it? MAX: Right, exactly.

Guys, I'm gonna keep this one.

(BEEPING)

How does this cut?

Hey, this is only three. Don't touch it, get away from there.

We have, like, 10 more pages to go.

We got time, we got time. Just... We don't have any time.

Don't touch the machine, though.

All right. Hello, okay.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Oh, hey, Drew, what's up dude?

You looking for Natalie?

She's in here.

Don't crop it too tight, ‘cause you don't wanna lose this

muscle, muscly back. Well, it's not a steroid ad.

It's a surf ad, that's all. No, it's a surf board ad,

so yOu wanna see a nice-looking muscly surfer.

And that's a nice muscle? | think it's nice.

Yeah, see that flex right there, that's all natural.

What? Your forearm? (DOOR CHIMES)

MAX: Hey. SARAH: That's scary.

| want to use the tile thing you were talking about the other day

to print these yearbook photos that | took.

Max, | didn't think, you don't come on Wednesdays.

| don't come on Wednesdays but... Yeah. We're working today.

My parents said if it's okay with Hank, it's okay with them.

Oh, Max. Don't put that in there. Ah, God, okay.

There, it's working. You can't mess with...

Those are my photos. No, not a good day, Mad Max.

We're working on a really important job. Yeah, it's okay.

It doesn't matter. | really need to print these things.

No. Max, you can't print right now.

Max, listen to me. Don't, don't...

| have a fair solution. Okay. What is it?

| will use the printer for one hour,

and you get it for one hour.

Max, we only have the printer for this week.

Which is why | need to develop it right now.

And we need it, every single minute.

HANK: How about a half an hour, maybe? Move, move, move, move.

Don't push me out of my chair! Max! Max! Tomorrow. Max, tomorrow!

Listen. Hey, Max... Yeah. We'll do it tomorrow.

No, we're not gonna do it tomorrow.

We'll tell him tomorrow and then tomorrow we'll tell him tomorrow.

No, don't tell him tomorrow because he really counts on things.

Hey, Max. You have to listen to me. Look in my eyes.

No, you're being completely selfish.

Today is not a good day.

You're being really selfish. We need you to come back next week.

Oh, that's a good idea. Wait, don't print it.

| think you should go home. He printed it.

| can't go home right now.

The next bus doesn't leave for another forty-five minutes.

So, I'm at least gonna use it until then. This is not working.

I'm gonna take you home then. No, you can't do that. It's Hank's studio.

Really? Yeah? It's faster for me to run him home...

You can't take me home. This is Hank's studio.

It's Hank's studio. You can't tell me to leave. Hey, Max. Come back tomorrow.

Listen, we're going home right now. Stop that. No.

Hey, buddy. Come on. Let's go. Let go.

We're going home. Well, | just... Sorry, it's just not a good day today.

Don't let him run. He's fast.

| Know. Max, slow down. Hey.

Ah, he's running.

SARAH: You don't understand. Aunt Sarah is a fascist.

What? | don't know why. I'm a fascist! What? Wait.

Max. What happened? Hi!

I'm so sorry. We had a run-in...

Max! Max?

MAX: She wouldn't let me use the printer!

| can't, | couldn't let him use the printer today...

Okay, I'm... Sorry. Because we're under a very stressful deadline.

MAX: | proposed a fair solution. KRISTINA: Honey?

No one is listening to me. Okay. Bye! KRISTINA: Buddy!

See ya, Max! KRISTINA: What happened?

Oh, Camille. I'll do that.

Let me help you with that. No, I'm just about done.

Please, it's the least | can do.

You do so much for us. (LAUGHS)

| can do this.

And you know, we do appreciate it.

| Know it's...

It isn't easy for you. Oh, what?

Having you here? Mmm-hmm.

Of course it's easy.

We love having you here.

| just wish Crosby had a little more empathy.

He does, Camille. He does.

You know, he's having a hard time letting go.

You know? He grew up here.

Right.

Um, my mother has decided

that Aida's soul is in grave danger

of being stranded with the sinners if she is not baptized

this Sunday. Whoo-hoo.

(CHUCKLING) That's kinda harsh. Yeah, itis. So...

We just want you to know that we won't inconvenience you

at all with anything.

You know, she is beyond thrilled to host the brunch

after the ceremony. So, you don't have to do anything!

That wouldn't have been an inconvenience.

| would've loved to host a brunch.

| would love to host the brunch.

| know, | know, but there's so much going on.

Just, you know, we took care of it.

Really, I... All you need to do is be our guest.

That's all you need to do. That's it. Easy!

Hey. (KNOCKING ON DOOR)

So, there is a party

over at Sigma Epsilon Pi later.

You wanna go? No.

Dude, are you mad?

‘Cause I'm kinda getting a vibe. Yeah, I'm mad, Berto.

Oh, my God, dude!

lam so sorry | drank your Gatorade yesterday.

Practice was so intense. What? No. No, it's not about that.

Which, it was rude,

now that you just said that.

And my cashew butter you've been eating.

| don't even care though. No, you're, you're right, man.

| should get my own cashew butter.

Berto, | don't even know how to explain this.

It's... It's Natalie.

| was really shocked to see you guys hooking up.

Oh.

Oh. Oh, man, I'm so sorry!

| totally thought you were done with her.

And | mean, you had that other chick here for like three weeks.

| don't even... Forget it.

| don't even care. No, no, no, no. Hey.

Look, man, (SIGHS)

If it upsets you that much,

| totally don't have to hit that.

| mean, she's nice and all, but...

You're my bro.

Yeah, it is.

So, this is the new digs, huh? Uh-huh.

Yeah. Yeah.

Nice and clean. It's you know, temporary. Until | figure out...

Yeah.

Yeah, it's great. Thank you.

The kids are... They like it?

Yeah, they do, they... Well, it's got a pool.

SO... Can't go wrong with a pool.

Yeah, and there's a gym that, uh,

a couple of the machines work on. So, that's good.

That's great. Yeah.

| was coming over to talk to you... It's...

Aida's, uh, baptism thing.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Is that coming up?

Yeah, Sunday. Wow.

| mean, | could... Personally, | don't really care too much. | would just...

Sprinkle water at her... Sure.

Head it home and call it a day,

but it's, you know, really important to Renee.

It's just, it's a big deal.

So, you know, they... Oh.

They wanted a... Yeah, | get it.

(JOEL SCOFFS)

You do? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it would be...

It'd be awkward for me to be the godfather with

everything that's going on so...

| would love for you to be... It's just... No.

It could be, it could be weird | guess.

Yeah, yeah. With both.

Sure. Sure. You know, I'm...

I'm, uh, you know, I'm honored you asked me in the first place.

| really hope you guys,

you know, can find your way back.

| Know it's none of my business, but | just, you know,

we love having you in our family.

Thanks, buddy. I'm sorry, you know.

Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, | completely get it.

| don't, you know, | don't need to be the godfather.

Oh, oh, oh. Sydney, lam very proud of you.

Look how dirty those hands are getting!

What happens when we're done?

When we're done, we're gonna drive it.

This is actually really cool!

VICTOR: It's almost done, isn't it, Grandpa?

Yes itis. Huh?

CROSBY: It's so fun watching them work on this car, isn't it?

It reminds me of my favorite times with him.

JULIA: Oh, my God.

Well, he's saving my life right now.

(JULIA SIGHS)

|, um, | had to go over to Joel's this afternoon.

For what? To talk to him about Aida's baptism, which is this Sunday.

Yeah. ‘Cause you guys...

You know, were supposed to be the godparents and...

We're not gonna be the godparents anymore?

Well no, you're gonna be the...

If you hopefully still wanna be the godparent,

but | think I'll ask Adam to fill in for Joel.

So, wait. Joel's already not the godfather anymore?

Well, | didn't want you to have an awkward...

Oh. Sunday at this baptism. | thought maybe | should've

asked you before.

| just would've thought that he would wanna be a part of the family.

You know? Like, or he would not wanna not be part of the family.

Yeah, I...

No. What did he say though?

What did Joel say about it?

That he understood and you know,

that he doesn't have to be Aida's godfather.

Sounds like he does not even care.

No, that's not how, that's not how it was at all. Okay.

Well, what did you...

Did you talk about anything else? Did he ask about...

Us, did he?

Well, wasn't there that long.

He didn't ask about me at all?

(SIGHS) Maybe, he, um.

| was, | was really there just for like, a second.

All right.

| think he's just trying to help.

I'm sorry.

| get it, | guess.

It's okay.

Nora, do you wanna have some chicken?

(DOOR OPENING)

Hey there. Daddy's home. KRISTINA: | hope | did this right. Hey.

Hi, how are you?

Mmm!

That smells delicious. What is it? Thank you.

Gwyneth Paltrow's roasted chicken.

What is she supposed to eat for dinner?

No? No. Uh.

No. How was work?

It was great. Where is Nora?

Nora's on the floor playing. Where is Nora?

(STRAINS)

Max is upstairs.

He is sulking.

Max is upstairs, why?

He's upset with your sister. Why's he upset?

Because of my sister? What are you talking about? Your sister.

He went to Hank's after school to work on the printer.

Right. And she brought him home and just abruptly dropped him off.

Apparently, he was getting in the way or something and she's got this...

She's got this huge project that's due soon.

Yeah, | get that. She has a deadline. | understand. Right.

But she just kicked Max off that printer? Yeah, she kicked him off.

And he's kinda obsessed with that thing... And it was just the way

that she brought him in, like, she was expecting me to apologize.

You know? | just got that feeling. Right, no | get that.

Mmm-hmm. | just felt like, you know what?

She doesn't get it. She doesn't get it. Mmm-hmm.

So, I'm gonna let him eat in his room tonight,

‘cause he's really pissed. And | am, too. Okay.

All right, | get it.

So, | think that maybe

we should have a talk with her after we calm him down.

| don't know. All right, well, why don't we

just let her turn the project in

and she'll probably feel embarrassed

about how she treated Max once it's all over.

She should. It was wrong. I'm sure she'll call and apologize.

Very sensitive kid. Let's just let it lie fora couple of days. Okay?

Yeah. Mmm-hmm. Okay?

Rough day, huh? Yeah.

Not one of my best.

| thought it'd be classier if | got boozy out on the porch.

Instead of inside.

Listen, Goose, | want,

| want to talk to you about our selling the house.

| just want you to understand

my point of view, my feelings about it.

Mom, | get it. | totally do.

You do? Yeah.

Because | was not railroading your dad,

you know, he's a very stubborn man.

The most stubborn.

And of course | understand that it's hard for you, too.

Because you grew up here. It's your home and, um,

| was maybe a little selfish not to think about that. No, l...

First of all, I'm sorry.

| should never have used that word selfish.

You're not selfish. You've always put us first and

this is your home, you know? I...

| totally get it. | have my own home, now.

| mean, it's currently infested with mold, but | do have it.

Well, no, it's our home.

And while it still is | think it's the place

where Aida's brunch should happen.

And | wanna throw the brunch.

That is very sweet of you and | appreciate it but,

Renee has to throw this brunch. It is a very big deal

that she celebrate the ticket to heaven with some eggs and muffin at her house.

For her, it's everything. Okay, but | wanna do something.

So, how about | throw a dinner

the night before the baptism, for Aida? Mom, it's a...

It's a really sweet idea,

but the baby's six and a half months old. She's not even gonna know.

No, | Know. It's really not for Aida. It's for the family.

These events are always for the family

and this family could really use a celebration right now.

You know? And | would really like to do it.

It would mean a lot.

Okay.

Well, when you put it that way. Add a dinner.

Add a dinner to the Aida weekend

and let the festivities begin.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR) NATALIE: Hey.

Can! come in? Yeah, come in.

If you want me to leave, | can leave,

sO you guys can have a little more... Oh, come on, that's clever.

Drew, you don't have to be a jerk about the entire thing.

Yeah, I'm the jerk now, Natalie.

Oh. Hey, Natalie. Look, um,

what we had was fun and all,

but it's kinda bumming out Drew and he's my roommate so,

| gotta pass.

Can | talk to you fora moment? Yes, Berto.

Okay, um.

Okay. Um, look, you're pissed. Yeah.

Fine, | get that. It's really clear. Message received.

But frankly, do you think that that's really fair?

Like, you did disappear into a cave with your ex-girlfriend

for an entire month. So you go and sleep with him?

BERTO: Hey, man. With Berto, Natalie?

Come on. | said | was sorry.

And | got my own cashew butter too, man.

| Know. Drew, | feel like we're forgetting how this went down.

You fell off the face of the earth for an entire month.

No! It's not about that. Was | supposed to just sit in my dorm

for a month and be celibate? You know it's not about that. It's him.

| will leave my own dorm. Drew!

Well, | feel like this is a really big decision

and we're not even communicating about it.

This is our niece.

How can you just bail out on this?

I'm not bailing, Julia,

Crosby asked me to step down here.

How are you not fighting for it?

Joel, how are you not fighting for me?

For all of this? | mean, you're just...

Julia.

When Crosby and Jasmine came over here and they asked us to be her godparents,

that meant so much to me.

| was so proud of that.

You know, it's a really big deal. It's a huge honor.

And it's a huge responsibility.

And | don't know, maybe you think

that it's just some symbolic thing or something

and | know we're not even religious but,

this is a loss for me.

Julia, you are still going to be her godparent.

| wanted to do it with you,

my husband.

| just, | don't understand

why you're not willing to fight for this.

For us.

The Joel | Know would've said to Crosby,

"This is my goddaughter and I'm not bailing out."

Are you there?

Joel. Yeah, I'm here.

And no, I'm not willing to stop fighting

for our children and for our marriage,

but this, this wasn't my call.

This wasn't my fight.

So, please don't dig in on this, please.

It's over now.

Well,

whenever you're...

You're ready to fight for us, I'm here.

Yeah. No, um, uh. It didn't bother me.

It was Okay.

Yeah, she is. She's here.

Uh-huh. Okay. All right.

Huh. Who was that?

That was Kristina. Kristina! You're kidding.

What did she want?

Just, you know, seeing if you were here.

Seeing if I'm here?

Why? Because if I'm here, then Max is not coming by?

Pretty much. You're kidding me.

That's unbelievable.

| mean...

You were a little harsh with the kid, right? So...

How was | harsh? | was not harsh.

He was Off the rails.

This is our place of, you know, work.

Yeah, but you know, Max,

he's a kid still, right? He's not a kid.

This is... He's 14 years old. No one's doing him any favors

to keep treating him like a baby.

Yeah. This is my place of work.

| finally have one. And I'm doing well here and...

I've waited a long time to have a place of business

and | think my family should respect that. Don't you?

Yeah. | can't believe | have to explain this to you!

| see your point. You don't gotta explain anything. Thank you.

And don't look at me like that.

I'm not looking at you. See? You gotta relax. (CELL PHONE CHIMING)

No, you're looking at me all Suspicious.

Take it easy.

Ugh, unbelievable. This family. Ugh.

What? Checking that you're still here.

(CHUCKLES) No. Aida's baptism now has a dinner added.

So now there's a dinner. And then the baptism and a brunch.

Oh, God.

ADAM: You know what you need? You need a beer.

| do. I'm so sorry this whole thing has snowballed into all these events.

That's all right. All of a sudden.

It's a real pain in the... You're the servant of two mothers.

Right. That's what these rites of passage are about anyway,

making the moms happy.

And look, | hate to ask so last minute, but...

Anything you need. What is it?

| need a godfather.

If it's too big of a pain in the butt, 1, you know... | realize I...

No, Cros. I... (STUTTERING) | just, I'm, uh...

I'm pleasantly surprised.

|, uh, | would love to be Aida's godfather.

Great. | didn't know if it was gonna be weird 'cause

you're not a traditional "believer" or whatever.

| know, | know. But | believe in love and doing the right thing,

| think that's enough to be a godfather. Come here!

Come here, man! I'm moved, man.

Oh. You know? All right. Good.

| really am. That means a lot to me

that you picked me, you know?

Yeah. | mean, you could've picked anyone in the world.

You picked me to be Aida's godfather. That is awesome.

You're... Well, you're welcome.

Who's going to be the godmother?

| will probably ask Julia.

Julia, that's great. Especially with everything that's going on in her life

right now. That's gonna make her feel really great.

Could be helpful. Kristina!

KRISTINA: Yes, honey? Guess who's gonna be Aida's godfather?

What? Hi, Crosby. Hi.

I'm gonna be Aida's godfather. That's who!

Crosby picked me to be Aida's godfather. That's amazing.

How about that? Yeah.

KRISTINA: Wow. That's really cool.

Yeah, so. That's awesome, man.

That's great. Come here. One more. Come on!

Ah! Hey! Yeah, let's do it!

Good for you.

It's disgusting. He wears my socks,

but he flips them inside out

and says that it's clean now or something.

It's like it doesn't make any sense.

Well, it makes you think,

is he going to call me, or write me?

Yeah. Or text me ever again? You know?

The Gatorade thing did bother me now that you say that.

It's like I'm thirsty, | bought it. Mmm-hmm.

You know? | wanna come home and have my drink.

Yeah, you know, what are the rules?

What? Is there a protocol to this whole thing, you know?

| mean, I'm... I'm not the one that should be reaching out, right?

Oh, my God. I'm not reaching out to her. No.

After she sleeps with him?

Like, of all people, Natalie. Really.

| mean, of all things that you could do,

you're gonna just go back to the military? Really?

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's just sad.

I'm sorry | was listening about your conversation, too.

Yeah, | Know you were.

| mean, at least we're sort of going through this together

in a weird parallel universe way.

Yeah, that's true. Oh, God. | don't know.

What's gonna make it better?

Like, nothing but time passing?

We just abide by this concept called time.

Don't. Please. That we all know and love.

(LAUGHING) It makes no sense.

It's just, it's like another realm, uh, of understanding.

Speaking of other realms of understanding,

| think | have a couple things in here

to maybe make the time pass a little quicker. Okay.

Huh? Huh? Right, sure, sure.

And ice cream taste a little better.

Weed in the freezer? Keeps it fresh. Duh!

It keeps it fresh. Yes.

| have never heard that. What?

I've never heard of that.

God, it's classic. How do you even do this?

| don't have any idea. What?

I'm sorry, you don't know anything about this?

What, what are you in college for?

SYDNEY: How do you know? VICTOR: Because she said it wasn't.

SYDNEY: How do you know? VICTOR: | told you, he's not gonna be there.

SYDNEY: Yes, he is. VICTOR: No, he's not.

SYDNEY: Yes, he is. Hey, guys. What's happening?

Okay, so | really wanted to show Daddy the car at the party tonight.

Mm-hmm. But he said Dad's not gonna be there.

Well, he's right, Dad's not gonna be there tonight.

See, | told you.

Uh, but you said it was a dinner for the family.

Yeah, it is, sweetie.

So, Daddy's not a part of your family anymore?

No, no. He is.

Um...

You know when Daddy and | decided to take a break,

we also decided to take a break from each other's families.

But he's still a part of your family and you're still a part of his. So...

That's stupid.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's hard.

So, he's coming to the baptism?

No, not coming to the baptism either.

If you're just taking a break, then when's it gonna be over?

When's he gonna come home?

| don't know.

(GIGGLING) There's pretzel in your hair.

(LAUGHING) Leave it.

No, it's gone. It's my statement.

It's my big statement to the world. You know?

Hell is other people?

What did you just say?

Hell is other people.

What is that?

It's, um, Sartre, or...

Star Trek?

No, it was a concept from Star Trek, but it's, um...

Oh. Sartre.

It's the book I've been reading for school. (CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

Sartre?

What does it mean? It's like, nothing has meaning.

We make the meaning.

Whoa. That's crazy. Wait, we make meaning?

Yeah, we choose what we want anything to mean. You know?

It's like, time. | want that ice cream.

I'm choosing it. It's choosing me. (CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

You make the meaning. Exactly.

Why is Mom calling? Stop.

SO wait. It means that it tastes good if you will it to taste good.

We don't have more. We need to get more.

No. (CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

Amber, now she's calling me. We could make delivery service for ice cream.

And make a million dollars. She's calling me.

Mom? Yeah. There it is.

Is that her now? What is she doing?

Why is she calling me again?

| don't understand. Do you think something's wrong?

| don't know. | don't wanna get it. | don't wanna talk.

What if something's wrong? (CONTINUES VIBRATING)

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What if Grandpa died?

Oh, my God! (LAUGHING) Stop! Don't laugh. I'm serious.

He's fine. He's fine. What if he did? | have to know.

Amber. Mom? Hello?

Huh?

No, oh, yeah. No, no, no.

Of course we didn't forget about Aida's baptism dinner.

(LAUGHING)

Drew is late, he just got here.

But we're gonna come right now, okay?

Okay.

Bye.

Kids okay? Yeah, they're just running late.

God, | hope Dad doesn't start some kind of a theological brouhaha.

He just can't resist getting into it with anyone wearing a collar.

This should be good. PASTOR JONES: Nice house.

Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you.

So, uh, you must be the person doing the thingy.

The baptism. Uh, yeah, right.

Yes, lam. How do you do?

Pastor Jones. Pastoress.

May | call you Pastoress?

Sure. (LAUGHING)

All right. Zeek Braverman.

| take it that you're not a man of faith, Mr. Braverman?

A man of faith?

Well, um, to tell you the truth, three years in Vietnam, uh...

| really didn't see God anywhere.

Hmm. Maybe at the time,

the Lord was working out something you didn't understand.

Possibly. Can | get you something?

Well, temporarily.

Hey, you could've lived with me, all you had to do was ask.

Yeah, right. (LAUGHING)

SEKOU: And get some disease or something.

Aunt Sarah's here. Good.

Aunt Sarah's. No, Aunt Sarah's. | can't... Max...

Honey. Okay, | gotta go.

All right. Look, what? I'm not gonna deal with this right now.

All right. Okay? It's not the time or place. Max?

Hey! SARAH: Hey!

How's it going? Good.

Yeah. Yeah.

Uh, happy baptism! Mmm. | hope everything...

Happy baptism!

Hey, uh... | was gonna get a drink. Do you want me to grab a...

| can't. | gotta work later.

Oh, right, right, right. I'm in the middle of this project still.

The project, how's it going? It's like, it's very stressful and, uh...

| don't know, there's still a lot more to do.

Yeah. I'm sorry it's stressful.

I'm sure it's gonna turn out great, though. Yeah.

Yeah. | guess so.

| wanted to talk to you about what happened the other day with Max.

Oh, my God. (LAUGHING) | just wanted everybody

to get each other's side of... It was crazy!

Right. It was crazy.

He, at one point, he like, sat on me,

because | was trying to tell him not to use the computer.

Right. I'm sorry about that, you know how... And | had to say no.

He can react. And he did not like hearing that.

Sometimes, right. It's, like, he doesn't hear the word "no" quite enough.

(LAUGHING NERVOUSLY) Okay.

Sarah, it's not quite... | mean, I'm just saying, he didn't even...

It's not so much about that. He couldn't take it in.

It's just that it's a really important thing for him

to be able to go to Hank's when he wants to go there.

Yeah, but my work is really important. Hey.

I'm getting my job. God. Hi.

How you doing? Great, thank you.

There is a lot of people here. Yeah, you gonna be okay?

So, yes. Thank you for filling in. Yeah? Okay.

Filling in? For Joel.

For Joel? For what? For being Aida's godfather. That was...

That's... (GASPING)

You didn't know you were a fill-in.

| didn't know. (SING-SONG) Fill-in.

You didn't know that? Crosby didn't tell me that.

This is not my fault. This is Crosby's fault. Substitute.

Okay. Joel recused himself. Well...

And by the way... And so...

Thank you. Happy to fill in. Sure.

Am | anybody's godmother? Go team.

If lam, I'm doing a bad job because | can't even remember.

This is unbelievable. All you have to do is remain alive.

| don't understand where you get off telling me

that | don't know how to set limits for Max. What?

Oh.

Man. Mints? Here.

Oh, yeah. Okay, are you straight on the story?

‘Cause she might grill us.

Okay, so you came to apartment...

Tasty. ...and we were gonna go together,

and we were gonna take my car and then my car wouldn't start.

So we took a cab to get here. A cab?

Yeah, okay. We did take a cab.

Okay, okay, okay. Here. Hang on.

You... You look crazy. Here.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Here. Okay.

Just keep your eyes a little wider open than normal.

Here do mine.

Ow! Ow, you're getting it in my nose.

Now it looks like you're crying. Does that look better?

We can... Yeah, it's fine. Okay, listen up. Wait.

Open your eyes a little bit wider than feels natural.

Okay. That's the good tip, okay?

Okay. Here we go. Take a deep breath.

(BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY)

Now do we act religious? Is this a Somber occasion? (LAUGHING)

(PEOPLE TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

RENEE: So, um, everyone, could we just bow our heads for a moment

and thank the good Lord for this beautiful meal?

KRISTINA: Sure. SARAH: Of course.

Well, do you know something?

The good Lord was not in the kitchen with my wife.

So, I'm gonna thank my wife. SARAH: Dad! Shh.

Keep us strong and the connections tight. And so itis, Amen.

Amen.

(TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

RENEE: And, uh, before you dig in, a toast.

WOMAN: A toast. To Zeek and Camille.

For hosting this lovely evening. Oh! Of course. Thank you.

CROSBY: Thank you. Mom and Dad!

JASMINE: Thank you for housing us!

And | just have to say that | have enjoyed so many

wonderful evenings in your home... Thank you.

...that I'm gonna miss it. Well, you know, I'm gonna miss it too.

| think we all will. JULIA: Yeah.

(STAMMERS) What? You're gonna miss it, why?

You know they're trying to sell the house?

(GASPING) What? No.

JULIA: You didn't know that? SARAH: No.

No... SARAH: No. Is this a joke?

Well, no. We're not selling the house. We're just...

Actually, we're just discussing it. It's a possibility.

SARAH: Since when? Did everybody know about this?

Well, since we've been talking about it a while.

All right, calm down.

Well, | didn't know that they're selling my childhood home.

And nobody told me. Did everybody know about this?

|! had a similar reaction. SARAH: Did you know about this?

Well, we're living here, so yeah.

Did you know about this?

That, | heard about a few months ago from Dad.

But, I'm surprised to know that it's actually happening.

What | did not know was that | was runner-up for godfather.

Oh, wow.

SARAH: Adam. SEKOU: Cold-blooded.

Hey...

SARAH: (LAUGHING) He's so mad.

Adam, | didn't. | meant to tell you, but you got emotional

and then, | felt like we were connecting

and | should have told you.

Cros. I'm just happy that I'm second place.

Because apparently, | have a lot of work to do when it comes to parenting.

SEKOU: Who said that? What?

What's wrong with your parenting? Well, Sarah said

| don't know how to say no to Max.

ADAM: That we don't know how to say no to Max. Oh. Oh, okay.

SARAH: No, it wasn't like that. Kristina. All right.

Don't... No, no, no. It was not like that.

ADAM: So I'm just happy to be a godparent.

Her kids are stoned. You see how stoned they are?

What? No, they're not. KRISTINA: Cheech and Chong. Oh, yeah. They're baked.

ADAM: Maybe that's why you're not a godparent.

‘Cause your kids are stoners.

KRISTINA: Super baked. What? No?

SARAH: | don't know, they look okay to me.

Sarah. For the record, we did consider you,

it's just, you know, we had asked Joel and Julia, ‘cause they were an item.

You know, they were a couple, they were married.

That means | was considered second or third or last.

CROSBY: No, that you don't have a husband so we gotta ask a team.

So, because I'm not married, | can't be...

CROSBY: Yeah, ideally you'd want two parents to raise your kid.

SARAH: A Spiritual guide for the...

CROSBY: You're not electing a spiritual guide. SARAH: Yes, you are.

What happens is they're gonna raise... The custody.

You don't need a man. Right?

Am | right?

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

All right, none of this would've happened...

Good time at the Braverman's.

If this event wasn't forced down everyone's throat.

I've been going from house to house,

disappointing my family members,

all so we could have this thing that doesn't even need to happen right now.

Take it down, Crosby.

RENEE: Well, it's happening, Crosby, because | asked you

to baptize Aida.

And just because there's a lot of drama going on

doesn't mean that baby Aida should suffer.

She's not suffering. She's upstairs sleeping peacefully.

JASMINE: Calm down, Crosby. CROSBY: And she's not even in jeopardy.

| don't believe in a god that would send a little baby to hell.

| can't believe you do.

I'm sorry that | couldn't hold the marriage together long enough

to make this simple for you guys.

(ALL DISAGREEING)

It's fine. It's fine.

(STAMMERING) I'm gonna check up on the kids.

I'm gonna check up on the kids.

ZEEK: Uh, excuse me.

(GROANING)

Hi.

Okay.

Can | get you a beer, or you just wanna...

No. No, thanks. I'm not gonna be that long.

| figured.

So...

This is it, huh?

This is it. Yeah. Yeah?

Well, let me ask you something.

What the hell are you doing?

What the hell am | doing? Well, I'm, uh,

trying to figure things out, you know?

Figuring things out.

Yeah.

Well...

Let me ask you a favor, then. Okay.

Could you try harder?

Hey, look. | know that you guys are going through some stuff.

Yeah. And | know that you're pissed at Julia.

| mean, | don't know the circumstances.

| don't know if that's really important.

It's pretty important. Okay.

Okay. You guys have had it pretty good,

and now you're going through a rough patch and you're gonna give up?

Come on.

Look. When

| walked Julia down the aisle, | gave her to you.

And | was so proud.

And | was So Sure.

And still am.

Of the man that | gave her to.

| know what kind of a guy he is.

| made a vow to support you and her,

and that marriage. | took you on aS a son.

You know about this celebration. | have...

Mmm-hmm.

I'd appreciate it if you'd be there.

| like that. Mmm-hmm.

Print that one.

Yeah. That's what I'm gonna do. Don't change it.

I'm not gonna change anything. Don't mess with it.

I'm not gonna change anything. I'll be back...

| learned my lesson. .../N an hour or two.

Yeah. What are you gonna say to Max?

Ugh, I'm not gonna say anything to Max.

| don't owe my 14 year-old nephew an apology.

I'm not saying apologize. I'll probably apologize to him anyway.

| didn't tell you that you should apologize, but in their defense,

um... Who?

Well, look I'm not defending them, but...

| was thinking about, uh,

how you were talking about the job the other day.

Mmm-hmm.

How much it means to you

that you've found something that you're good at and you've got a future with.

That's probably how Adam and Kristina feel about Max finding photography.

Yeah. ‘Cause, uh,

when you find your thing,

it's like a life raft, kind of,

in the storm. You know, it's like a stormy sea of life, and...

Anyway, that's... I'm working on trying to see how people feel.

Trying to think more about other people feeling and all that stuff,

so that thought popped in my head about Max.

Oh.

Yeah. Really? Just...

That just popped in your head about

the stormy sea? Yes.

Yeah, it just popped in my head and I'm gonna just say it.

I'm glad you did. Really?

Really. (SCOFFS)

Stormy sea of life, it's very poetic.

Hurry up. Yes, | Know. | know.

We cannot be late after yesterday. Seriously.

That was like the worst thing ever. This smell like beer.

| can't... I'm sure it's fine.

No. It smells like beer.

Ugh! What is this? Yeah, it's bad.

I'm telling you. | don't know. | can't wear this in front of Mom.

Do you have anything else? No.

| can. We can stop, buy something.

You know, I...

DREW: That's fine. Yes. I'll take it.

It's Ryan's.

Oh, no.

It's like the one thing that he left here and l...

| know | should've, like, sent it back or whatever, but | just...

Yeah, that sucks.

But I'm glad it's gonna go to good use.

Yeah. Also, if you're sad,

obviously, you know, | can stay here, if you need me to.

Like a charity thing? Help you get through this time?

(BOTH LAUGHING) No.

As a sibling, you know?

Like the old days. Ah.

| mean, it seems like you're kinda sad.

Maybe you should stay here so that

| can help you. Thank you

for acknowledging I'm sad, too, yeah.

You know, get through the sweatpants phase that you're going through.

It sounds good. Mutual benefit.

Okay. And you're still gonna go to school and stuff, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Go ahead, sounds good. All right.

Hurry up, please. We're gonna be late. | know. Yeah.

Haven't been to church in a while.

Yeah, right. | Know.

Ah, it's probably good for us.

Hi! Hey!

Hey! You look pretty. Hi.

So do you. Hey, so |, uh...

| rented that printer that Max really likes

for another week, ‘cause | thought he could come by next week.

Oh. Really?

Yeah, | figured. Thank you. That's really sweet.

That's great. He'll be stoked. Hey, Max!

Hey, Max! Your Aunt Sarah rented that printer you love so much for an extra week.

Whoo!

| can't use it next week. I'm booked too solid.

(LAUGHING) Oh, my God.

Well... And that's a bag of poop for you.

Sorry about that.

CROSBY: Put in your piggies.

You're so pretty! Look at this pretty girl | see.

There you go.

(SNORTING) (LAUGHING)

Did you mean it, when you said to your mom

that Jabbar's baptism was one of the greatest moments of your life?

| did. You did?

Yeah. Well...

But you don't believe in all this.

It doesn't matter. You don't have to.

You know? Any reason for the family to come together is a good reason,

no matter what it is.

Is that true?

Are you excited to get together with your family?

JASMINE: She is.

You see it's my thing

To be part of someone

As a true friend

ls part of me

You know that there's so much

But, little girl, we gotta tell each other

Mmm-hmm

About the whole world

And most especially one another

Oh, yes, all right

And you know, and you know

And it's hard

Yes, it is

It's hard

Yes, it is

And | wonder

Yes, | wonder

Ooh

Could it be a dream, yes
