Oh, hey, Drew. You looking for Natalie? She's in here.

| can stay here.

And you're still gonna go to school and stuff. Yeah. Yeah.

ADAM: The kids at school are starting to notice that Max has his differences.

And he's all alone.

I'm helpless. I'm their real estate agent, Karen.

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

We're shuttling our kids back and forth with these little roller suitcases.

The therapist told us we have to set up a routine

and be consistent with the schedule.

| have this job for Surfsport. And so | wondered

if we could do the job together. Just like we used to?

Except that I'm the boss. (CHUCKLES)

Are you able to tell Sarah how you feel about her?

| think it's good. It is. It's good. Send it.

But | don't know, | feel like... Nope.

...we should open it up one more time.

No, no, no, no. Just look at it one more time.

Just stop second-guessing yourself. It's good.

Send it. Yeah, but | want it to be perfect.

Hit send. Hit send. It's perfect.

No. You said that nothing's ever perfect. You said that.

And now, oh... Nothing until now.

Now you're saying it's perfect, just...

Come on, we've been over this.

We've seen everything. It's... It's over. All right?

| don't want it to be over.

The fat lady is taking a bath right now. So just...

How about this letter? Maybe it should be a little...

(CLICKS ENTER) Ohl!

Congratulations! You just sent your first major project.

All righty... | got the rest of your toiletries, buddy.

Don't forget to brush.

Okay. Honey, why are you bringing your boots?

It's gonna be like, 80 in Sacramento, right?

Yeah, well, I'm still gonna need them.

Because after visiting Sutter's Mill, my class

is going to be panning for gold on the southern fork of the American River.

Oh. The river's been mostly stripped clean since

the gold rush era, so | don't expect to find anything.

But many tourists still enjoy trying. All righty.

I'm not gonna enjoy trying if my feet are wet and cold,

| got ya 100%. so I'm taking my boots.

Well, you can put them in my bag.

No, | can't put them in your bag.

Yeah, you can. | have tons of room.

No, | can't because you're bag isn't going.

Honey, of course my bag is going.

I'm not gonna walk around with no clothes...

No, | don't want you to chaperone.

And so it doesn't make sense for your bag to go if you're not going.

Wait. What? Honey, I'm...

| wish | was still friends with Micah.

He gets to take an extra bag because of his wheelchair.

Okay. Can you stop for a second?

Why don't you want me to chaperone?

| don't know. | just don't.

Okay. I'm gonna have to wear these on the bus.

Love the way you are

No matter what I'll always want you back

Now they're gone and took away

A part of you But | will always stay

Thank you, Berkeley.

That was so sweet! Oh, man. That was...

What is that? | don't know.

Drew, it's beautiful. Thank you. I'll be sure to tell the neighbor...

Please pass my compliments on.

...who was singing that, that you said that.

How you doing? Fine. Good.

No. I'm...

Are you stoned? (LAUGHING) No, I'm not.

You're not? You're not stoned?

This was just hanging out here, on the bed?

Amber, you said that it was in the freezer. Unbelievable!

And so, | got it from the freezer. Yes, | Know where it is.

That's all I'm saying. Drew, | don't care, but | mean,

it's... It's like, 11:30 in the morning.

Yeah, it's... I'm definitely feeling tired. It's like, really that bad,

we're at, like, defcon wake and bake? What?

This dramatic situation. Oh, my God.

What? It's fine. I'm fine... I'm doing good.

| just don't want you to turn into like a...

Why are you here, by the way? Why am | here? | live here.

You have work right now. You used to work right now.

You used to go to school right now. Okay.

Yeah. Ha ha.

Got ya. I've been not going to some of

the classes that | have with Natalie. Yeah, |am aware.

Which is... Must be like, every class.

‘Cause | haven't seen you leave the apartment.

There is a class that | take that she's not in I've been attending.

One class? Yes, one class.

Aren't you worried they're gonna kick you out?

No, it's fine. I'm gonna go to the class.

| just don't wanna see you throw away your entire educational...

I'll... Actually, you're right.

I'll go to the class right now. Wait, wait, wait. No.

Talk to me about it, though. There's nothing to say.

Are you bummed about this girl? Did she, like...

Yes, I'm, like upset. Yeah, but it's fine.

Let's talk about it. It's not fine.

| Know you're right. I'm acting dumb. | gotta go to class.

You're not. Drew. | need to be at class. | don't wanna be late.

You're not going to class. Yes, lam.

Don't. You're just trying to avoid me.

I'm gonna eat. | mean, I'm gonna go to class after | eat. Yeah. Okay. See you later.

Useless. CROSBY: Blue 68.

Take up party! Hut! Hut! Hike! Oh! Ooh!

Yeah, good catch! TD! Yeah! Touchdown!

Hello? Oh, hi! Hi. Oh, yeah, just, uh, let yourself in.

| did knock. Oh, | guess...

Hi, how you doing? Mom! Dad!

VICTOR: Who are you? I'm the woman who's gonna make your grandparents’ day.

CROSBY: Aye, aye, aye! Hey, cheese! Why are you yelling?

What's all the yelling about down here?

Aye, aye, aye! Dad, you gotta put something else on.

You're gonna scare the baby!

Well, what the hell do you want from me? | couldn't find my pants.

They weren't in the drawer. Hey, Camille! Where the hell are my pants?

They're in the dryer. | told you.

ZEEK: They're in the dryer... Oh, hello.

Hello, hi! ZEEK: Hi!

Hopefully this isn't a bad time. No! No, not at all.

We weren't doing anything. Okay.

CAMILLE: Zeek, put on some pants.

She doesn't care if I'm not in pants, do you? | don't care.

ZEEK: Yeah. If Grandpa doesn't have to wear pants,

| don't wanna wear pants either.

ZEEK: Thatta boy! You're... You're wearing pants.

You know, no one needs pants.

It's fine. Not for this amazing news.

| found the perfect buyer for this place.

Oh! We're not even on the market.

| Know. But another real estate agent called with a highly motivated buyer.

And apparently this place is exactly what they're looking for.

CAMILLE: But we haven't done anything yet, obviously.

Don't you want more than one buyer to look at it, so you can get in a bidding war?

Uh, sometimes, but in this case, this guy is serious.

And | think we need to hear what he has to say.

Get in a bidding war.

KAREN: This could be huge. But we haven't painted, um...

We didn't fix the windows. We didn't do anything. It doesn't matter.

You know what? Why don't | bring him over here.

If he likes it, great. If not, no harm no foul.

You guys are really gonna sell the house?

Maybe | should give them a Call?

Well, what if they don't? Who's picking you up today? Your mom or your dad?

| don't know, | think my dad.

I'm sure he's just running late.

(SIGHS) | don't think he's coming.

Don't worry. He'll be here. Wanna throw some balls while we wait?

No. | don't know. What if he doesn't come?

Hey. Buddy, it's okay. Someone is coming.

Well, what if they don't? Then what do | do?

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

This is Joel.

Yeah, hey, Coach. Yeah, it's uh, it's my day to pick him up.

I'm, uh, I'm actually right here. You see me?

What?

Oh, crap! Yeah, I'll be right there.

Yep. (CAR DOOR OPENS)

Hey! Oh, hey!

See. There he is. Hey, sorry. Sorry.

| went to the wrong field. | just misread the schedule.

You ready, buddy? Let's go.

Okay. | wanna go home.

Yep. Come on.

Thanks for staying late, Coach.

You're not the first.

(SIGHS)

KRISTINA: All he said was, "| don't know."

That's all | could get out of him was, "I don't know."

Well, it sounds like he just doesn't want his mom to go

with him on the field trip. Well, honey, | don't care.

It's not a big deal. It is a big deal, okay? It's a long bus ride.

He's gonna spend the night at a hotel.

He's gonna be around kids he's not normally around.

Right. You know? | just wanna be there to help, you know.

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

There's gonna be so many things on this trip that

are gonna be hard for him. He just doesn't know it yet.

And it... | think that those things

are gonna be hard for him whether or not you go.

But, if | go... If | go, | can, you know.

What? Fix things? | can help. No, | didn't say that.

| said just... | know, | said that.

Maybe navigate things. Maybe this would be good for him

to try and fix some things if he feels like he can do it.

Screw it, I'm going. You know what? He's a kid. He doesn't know what he wants.

He doesn't get it. He's not a kid anymore, Kristina.

He is a kid. He's a teenager.

(SIGHS)

| think he just wants some more independence.

We gave him that radius at the beginning of the year,

which for the most part worked out really well.

| think he just wants a little more.

| say we give it to him.

| just... | don't know. He's still a baby to me, you know?

Look, he wants to go on his own. All right? That is a big deal.

He's growing up. | say we support him, don't stand in his way.

We'll see what happens.

My God! They've been up there a long time.

| just hope they don't open the hall closet. It's where | shoved all the baby stuff.

Well, she said we didn't have to clean it up.

Yeah. But a house looks bigger when it's not cluttered.

Ah, jeez. The house is the size it is. They're not gonna change that.

He seemed really negative about the front yard, didn't he?

Well, he called my barn a shed.

Said that he didn't like the way it looked. | don't like the way he looks.

Why don't | make us some tea?

Oh? In our "massively outdated" kitchen?

Well, it's not very modern.

Honey, it's perfect the way it is. | mean, he told his real estate agent

he wants to gut it? | mean, | can't take any more of this.

When it's not ours anymore... (SIGHS)

You know what type of wood this is? I...

Yeah, | can tell you. That's oak. | put that in myself

after one of my sons broke it when he slid down the banister.

That baby survived 30 years of kids and grandkids.

That's not going anywhere! Uh, you got kids?

Uh, Mister... Spencer.

Spencer. Two.

Well, | think we've seen everything. Thank you so much for your time.

KAREN: Okay. If you'd like to do another walk-through, maybe

check the place out a little bit, happy to let you go through it by yourselves.

No. Thank you. We're good. Okay, well, I'll just... I'll walk you out.

Any thoughts there, Spence? SPENCER: Thank you, sir.

(DOOR CLOSING)

Whew. Man! (MOCKINGLY) "What kind of wood is... What kind of wood is it?"

Okay. We've got two lunches, we've got two backpacks, and one classroom salamander.

That should do it. Who's picking me up from school today?

Uh, it's Wednesday, so your mom's gonna be picking you up. Or else she'll be...

What time is she picking me up?

When school's over, duh. Uh, Syd! You and your sister can wait by the wall.

Not me. I'm going over to Carly and Cassie's after school.

Does your mom know? Uh-huh. | told her not to pick me up.

Okay. Yeah. But then she'll think that | don't need a ride home.

Buddy, she... She knows. She knows.

How do you know? You don't talk to her.

We talk. Come on. Okay. How about this?

No. I'll... Pil call her right now.

Hold on. I'll call her right now and you can hear it from her.

SYDNEY: We'll be late.

Hey, Julia. Um, I'm just outside the school with, uh,

the kids and um, we just wanna confirm that you'll be here afterwards.

Okay? Uh, call me back.

SYDNEY: Let's go. Okay. We good?

Uh, | don't know. God, Victor. Why are you being such a baby?

Syd. None of that. Get out of here. Love you.

Mwah. Bye Bye.

Buddy. She'll be here, okay?

Can you just call her again?

Yeah.

(DIALING)

ADAM: All right. Yeah. KRISTINA: Here we go.

Got everything packed? Used the bathroom?

Yeah. | think there's a bathroom on the bus if you need one.

Okay. You've asked me all of this five times in the car.

| Know, we just wanna make sure you're all set.

Who you sitting with on the bus? | don't know.

You don't know? Um, your shoes...

| don't want you two to walk me on there. Well, Max, hey. Uh...

Can | have a hug? Love you.

All right. Max!

All right, bye!

(DEEP BREATH)

Julia. Hi. Lizzie.

Do you have a sec? I'm not sure that | do.

I'm sorry? My marriage is my business. Okay?

I'm sorry if that's rude or blunt or something, but the gossip has gotta stop.

I'm sick and I'm tired of it. I'm serious.

Of course. You know, | respect your, uh... It...

Actually it's about the cell phone. What?

It's just... | Know that we don't have an Official rule or anything,

but unofficially | thought we'd all agreed to

wait until sixth grade to get them for our kids.

Okay. It's not my business, of course.

But now that Victor has one, Avery is asking for one.

Victor doesn't have one. Basically every kid in the class wants one. So...

(CELL PHONE RINGING) Okay. There's gotta be some kind of misunder...

Mom! Look at the new phone Dad got me! Look, it's blue!

(LAUGHING AWKWARDLY) You see, look!

Psst.

Hey.

Hey? What, that's all | get? No love for a successful stalking mission?

Yeah. You found the one class we don't have together. I'm very impressed, uh...

Drew. Come on. I'm here at 8:00 a.m. for peace talks.

8:00 a.m. Seriously? Who takes an 8:00 a.m. class? It's absurd.

But I'm here. At oh-dark-thirty... Because | miss you.

What, seriously? A shrug?

That's all I'm gonna get from you?

You're not even gonna talk to me? Yes! I'm pissed at you.

You're not even gonna acknowledge what's happening? You're pissed at me? Okay.

Hey, hurt, | get. Hurt, | can... | can live with.

But you don't get to be pissed at me for this.

That you slept with my friend?

Your friend? Yeah.

Seriously? You barely tolerate Berto. He's not your friend.

Hey, you slept with Berto. That's worse.

Okay, wait. Let me just get this straight. My big crime

is that while we were very clearly not together,

| slept with somebody that you just accidentally

happened to live with. It's so different. You slept with Berto!

Really mature, Drew. Come on, at least own up to it.

Amy came to town and you dropped everything.

You dropped school. You dropped your friends.

You sure as hell dropped me.

Okay. Good talk. Glad we sorted all that out.

And again, so sorry | slept with somebody that you kinda, sorta knew! My bad!

SARAH: Anything? No, nothing. Nothing since

the last three times you called. You gotta stop calling, all right?

I'm hanging up. All right. Just tell me one thing.

(STAMMERING) How do | deal with the waiting and the not knowing?

(SIGHS) All right, | don't know.

| gotta go. What does... What does that mean?

You think... You think they hate it?

No, | think you're gonna keep calling me until you hear from them,

which could be days. Days?

| certainly hope not. You're ridiculous. Really. You're ridiculous now!

I'm not ridiculous. | was sitting in my apartment.

| was driving myself crazy, so | thought I'd come here. Yay! Here | am.

Well, | can't... Uh, you know, I'm doing stuff. | can't entertain you or anything.

Who's asking to be entertained? I'm not asking to be entertained.

I'm here to entertain you. I'm gonna sing,

I'm gonna dance. I'm gonna help you with these flowers.

Torture me is what you're here to do.

| don't want you to touch the flowers though.

Um... Just give me something to do.

You know what? | got gels. | can't find the gels. Remember when you worked here?

Yeah. When | paid you to do all this?

Yeah. Find those gels. All right.

| can't find them since you stopped working.

Fine. What do you think their response is gonna be, though?

I'm just wondering... Just don't ramble.

‘Cause... What are you talking about?

If you ramble, I'm gonna punch a bird. I'm not gonna ramble, okay?

I'm just here to help you and...

You know, | do wonder why they haven't called. Wouldn't you just call to say,

"Oh, we got the, you know, we got the email and it's looking good."

Or, you know, "Oh, we need a little more time to think about it."

Or like, “Hey! We're having a meeting

“on Tuesday and that's why we haven't gotten back to you."

| just don't understand the silence.

Okay. I'll text you goodnight later or something.

Okay, sweetie. Would you... Would you... Hey,

tell your dad to come out here, okay? Okay, sure. Dad!

JOEL: Hey, buddy. VICTOR: Mom's at the door.

JOEL: Oh. Cool.

Hi. Hey. The phone. | know.

The phone. Yes.

SO... I'm sorry.

You can't do that. | Know.

Joel! He was freaking out yesterday

and it's all my fault. What happened?

| went to go pick him up and | got the baseball schedule mixed up

so | went to the wrong field.

So you show up at the cafeteria with a shiny new phone

at lunchtime just to make up for that mistake?

(SCOFFS) It wasn't like that. It's not a bribe. Listen to me.

He was worried that you weren't gonna pick him up that

afternoon, and so | tried to reassure him. So | called you.

Right. | called you back.

Texted me back an hour later and by then he was a total mess.

You couldn't wait an hour to make this decision? | Know, yes. I'm sorry.

Joel, that's ridiculous.

(SIGHS)

Joel. He feels like we're gonna

let him slip through the cracks, you know? And I... | can't blame him

with the way we've been communicating lately,

and | can't... Like you buying a phone

without talking to me about it first.

Yes, yes. Yeah, right. Okay, good.

We're on the same page with that part.

You should have just seen him, Julia,

he's melting down in front of me and | feel like

all these abandonment issues, they're coming back up.

Because you moved out.

He's got, uh... Let's talk about the real reason.

He's got... He's got your number, my number and your parents’ number in the phone.

That's all he's allowed to communicate with.

Okay, he was texting with the baseball team on the way home, just so you know.

Okay, well, he's not allowed to do that.

Okay. And I'll talk to him about it.

You talk to him about that. You're doing the parenting right now.

(GROANS) I'm so tired of fighting.

| don't... Can we just stop.

You're not willing to fight for anything!

| think he can hear us. Can we...

Okay, fine. That's real convenient. I'll see you later, sweetie.

You just give me a call if you need anything.

Julia...

(CLANGING DISHES)

(CLEARS THROAT)

(AMBER FAKES COUGH)

Amber. It's time to get up, man.

Why do | need to get up? Because It's class.

It's your one Natalie-free Class today.

I'm not going to my... Oh, my gosh! Get up!

I'm not going to my class. You have to go to your class, Drew.

It's already too late. | already missed it.

Drew, it's not too late. You have to go. Look, | haven't

been making you do anything, okay? So the one thing you have to do...

Wow! The mom thing with the blanket, really. ...1S go to your one class!

I'm gonna make you go to your one Class.

You can't make me go to my class. That Natalie's not at.

| can make you. It's my apartment. And you have to go, okay?

Okay. Thank you. It's very bright, jeez.

Drew, stop being such a baby and go to your class! Oh, my God!

| don't wanna go to class, okay?

| don't wanna see Berto and Natalie. | don't wanna think about that, please!

She's always asking me if I'm okay. It's incredibly annoying.

All right? I'm sad. I'm sad about Amy.

And | wanna smoke weed and write bad songs.

Drew, of course, I'm sorry. | understand. Here.

I'm sorry that | yelled at you. I...

No, it's okay. I'm sorry | poured water on you. Just go back to sleep, okay?

| just didn't know.

This sand, it's not... HANK: Let it go.

| don't even think | like this font. It's like, too sporty.

Let it go, all right? Just... | can't let it go.

Just let it go. It's been three days, | haven't heard from them.

They haven't said one thing, what, how...

How can you be so calm?

‘Cause it's your ass on the line, not mine. Thanks.

But doesn't matter, you just can't do anything so just let it go.

Oh, my God. | just feel like I'm gonna... I'm so... I'm gonna cry.

(SIGHS)

Not for real, though, right? You're not gonna cry, right?

If | get bad news, I'm gonna absolutely start crying. I'm...

Can't you control that? No, | can't control it.

How can | control my human emotions?

If | get bad news on the phone, I'm going to start crying.

Maybe they won't use the phone. Maybe they'll email you.

(SCOFFS) Great. I'll just cry at my email then.

No, nothing, nothing, nothing. Ugh.

(SIGHS)

It's just the waiting is the worst.

It's good though, it's good. Just relax. Just relax. Why is it good?

| just have a...

(SOFTLY) Just relax.

Hank?

What? | mean, you looked disgruntled. You looked like...

No, yeah. | am. You're stressed out.

| thought you needed to just... lam.

Forget it, forget it. Work yourself up. Work yourself... No, thank you. Thank you.

...into a little tizzy.

| just... | didn't...

| didn't wanna give you the wrong idea, ‘cause...

No, we're good. We're good. You're not giving me the wrong idea.

Okay. But we're not. We're not... We're not good.

| do. | do have the wrong idea.

What do you mean?

There's a million Bravermans out there, right? Every corner

there's a Braverman, they're like Starbucks, the Bravermans.

But you come here, you come to me, every time. Why? Why? I'm getting the wrong idea.

| got the wrong idea.

Because you come in here and you're vulnerable,

you're needy. And I... (STAMMERS) | wanna be there for you because l...

Because... | wanna be here. And it seems like you want me to be here.

| do! I do...

As my friend, you know?

| mean, that sounds so...

Oh, yeah. All right, okay, okay.

Uh... Friends?

No, but... It's... Hmm...

(PHONE BEEPING) Ah! Ooh, ooh, ooh! Ah! Uh.

What does that mean? "Sarah, can you meet me tomorrow at 4:00? Alec."

Oh, my God. What does that mean? What does that mean?

Do you think it's bad?

| can't be here for you anymore, Sarah.

It's hard, you know? It's... It's, uh...

It's confusing.

| just don't wanna do it anymore.

(SQUEALS) All cash, 30-day escrow, just below asking.

Wow! Mmm!

We thought he hated it. No, he did not hate it.

He loved it! Loved it! Should | get the champagne?

If he loved it so much, why didn't he make the full offer then?

Oh, well, it's, it's not that far off.

And it's all cash. No banks. Quick close. This is an amazing offer.

Well, | mean it... It's easier for you.

Well... Zeek...

There's no open houses, no advertising. | mean, | Know how these things work.

Sure. Look, um...

| say we take the full ask or we don't budge.

| think that we're, uh, both of us in a little shock

right now, um, and we just need some time.

Of course. Of course.

You know what? You guys take all the time that you want.

Actually, take three days. ‘Cause that's the, uh, clock

they put on the offer. Oh. Okay.

Um, but if you have any questions, give me a Call. Anytime.

Okay. okay’

Thank you. Thanks. Thank you.

Wow.

You think that guy kinda looks like Ed? That big one there, with the beard?

(PHONE RINGING) The chef?

It's Mr. Knight.

Hello?

Kristina. Hi. So sorry to bother you, but,

we've got a little situation here.

Um, okay. What's wrong? Uh, I'm not sure. We were on our way to dinner

and all of a sudden, Max started freaking out. He was yelling and swearing...

What's going on?

I've never seen him melt down like that. Oh, my God.

What, uh... (WHISPERS) He freaked out.

What happened? Did he say what happened?

No. He's, he's calm now, but he's sitting in the middle of the lobby

and I... | can't get him to move.

Um, can you put him on the phone for me, please?

Max, dude. It's your mom. She wants to say hi.

Max? Max, my man. Just

talk to your mom, just... Just for a sec.

Buddy?

Uh, I, | think you'd better come down here and get him.

Okay. We're on our way. Thank you.

(TEXTING SOUNDS)

Victor?

Yeah. Put the phone away, please.

No, I'm texting Dad. I'm allowed to text Dad.

Not at the table.

It's an emergency. | left my baseball mitt in his car.

That's not an emergency. | want to text Dad.

Put it away. Stop it. |! wanna text him!

Get away! I'm putting it away! You guys!

It's not fair. Sydney, knock it off!

| don't care! Hey! Knock it off, you guys.

How come Victor gets a phone and | don't?

Oh, stop! | don't care! Stop! It's not your phone!

Knock it off! Enough of that! Stop shouting!

You shout all the time ever since Victor got here! Sydney...

It's all your fault. No.

Everything was good until you got here.

Sydney! Mom and Dad always got along,

and now they hate each other. Sydney, knock it off!

And it's all your fault! | hate you! Sydney!

Go to your room! You know it's true!

Not another word, Sydney! Go to your room!

He ruined everything.

(INAUDIBLE)

Uh, when | finished at Syracuse, that's, that's when | decided

to come out here to go to Berkeley to get my PhD.

And, uh, you know, it's a very sweet school. Very progressive.

| think you'd like it.

You wanna tell me what happened tonight?

KRISTINA: Max?

My parents are here. Hey, Mr. Knight.

They're going to take me home now. How are you?

| wanna go home. Uh, you know what?

Why don't you go with him and I'll catch up to you guys.

(WHISPERS) I'm so sorry. Thank you.

All right? Yeah, we're very sorry about that.

So, uh, what... What exactly happened here?

Honestly, |, I'm not... I'm not sure.

| think maybe some of the other kids were messing with him.

Usually it doesn't affect him, but, uh... But something just flipped in him,

like, like a switch. He was, uh, he was screaming and, and thrashing around and...

So it was pretty bad.

It was bad.

Oh.

Yeah, you know, he used to have these really bad tantrums.

Yeah? But that was years ago.

Sorry, you know? Oh, no.

You know, | just, | thought that he was past this stage.

But | guess it's never over, SO...

All right, listen. Thanks a lot for staying here with him.

Yeah. | Know it couldn't have been easy after seeing that, but...

Max is, is a cool dude, you know, most of the time.

And honestly, I'm not supposed to say this,

but a lot of these kids, they're jackasses.

Well... You know, I, | try to, | try to step in where | can.

But it's, it's gotten bad. Yeah.

| think that next year is gonna be much better. | really do.

| hope so. It will.

Listen. You're a good man. Thanks for sitting with him.

Yeah. All right. Take care.

Hey, tell El Presidente I'll miss him gold mining tomorrow.

| will. All right.

Chilly! It's so chilly.

Oh, yeah, well... Here, look what | got us.

Oh, there you go. Yeah.

Let's just snuggle in here. Snuggle up.

Yeah. It's really nice by the fire.

Yes, itis. It's a good fire pit.

What the hell was | thinking? | should have built this thing 30 years ago, | mean...

Millie,

can you believe that we've been here 44 years?

What happened to the time?

The house was so different then.

There was an oak tree there where the barn is, remember?

Yeah.

| loved that tree.

Yeah, | know you did.

| was so sad when it got that dreadful, what was... Some kind of oak disease, right?

Oak tree disease?

No.

Yeah.

No, the tree didn't have a disease, Millie.

See, | wanted to build a barn there and | Knew you loved the tree,

so | told you it had a disease and then | cut it down.

You did not! Yeah, | did.

You're... Are you kidding me? Uh-uh.

Ezekiel Braverman.

The truth finally comes out. Yeah, I, I've been holding it in so long, too.

Really? Well, yeah. | mean, God, and you know, this guy

who wants to buy the place? He called my barn a shed, and, you know...

It's gonna get torn down.

He'll probably replant some kind of a scrub oak or something, | don't know.

What are we gonna do?

| don't know, | don't know.

|! mean, | still wanna sell, that hasn't changed. But | mean, it's just so fast.

And now we have Crosby and his family living here.

| don't know.

Victor's counting on finishing that car with you, too.

I'd hate to take that away from him.

Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, | mean, the offer came in pretty quick.

| guess there might be others, but, you Know, there's no guarantee, is there?

So you think we should take it?

Millie, | want what you want.

| wanna wait.

We'll put it on the market in three or four months,

the way we originally planned to do. When we're ready.

It's a nice fire, isn't it?

Yes, it's a good fire pit.

Max, buddy? | said | don't wanna talk.

| Know you don't wanna talk about it. But we've been driving for over two hours.

And | think your dad and | can help if you explain to us what happened.

Can we turn on the radio?

(SIGHS)

Yeah, that's a good idea, we can wait till we get home. We'll talk about it then.

Why do all the other kids hate me?

Honey, nobody hates you. They're just idiots.

Nobody hates you. Is it because I'm weird?

Honey, you're not weird, okay?

| think sometimes, | don't know,

kids don't understand your Asperger's.

And they misinterpret it as being weird, or whatever.

But you're not weird. You're, you're So smart and you're hilarious...

If I'm smart and hilarious, then why do they hate me?

They...

They don't hate you. | promise.

Trevor peed in my canteen. I'm gonna kill him.

He said he did it because I'm a freak.

|am a weirdo freak.

You're not a freak.

| think he's right. No, he's an asshole, Max.

He's an idiot. You're not a freak, honey.

| think |am a freak.

| try to understand them, but | can't.

Asperger's is Supposed to make me smart.

But if I'm smart then why...

Why don't | get why they're laughing at me?

They all do it. Even the nice kids. Even Micah.

And | don't understand why.

| don't understand!

It's okay, buddy. It's okay.

You're not allowed to be without a seatbelt in a moving vehicle.

|, | don't care.

| don't like being hugged. | don't care right now.

| don't like being hugged!

| Know you don't. | just want you to listen to me.

| don't like being... Shh! | love you, buddy.

Okay? | love you, so, SO much. It's okay. It's okay.

Hank. Hi.

Hey. Hi. What are you...

Well, | just figured, uh, | don't know. | figured | should be here.

As a friend. In case you cry or something.

Thank you. Yeah.

You don't wanna be alone when you cry, right?

We'll go get a drink and we'll cry together.

Yeah, good luck.

Hey, wait, Sarah! Wait.

Don't cry, no matter what happens in there.

Just don't, don't cry, ‘cause the work that you did,

it's phenomenal. You should be proud of it.

I'm proud of you.

So, no matter what happens, just know that.

(ACOUSTIC GUITAR PLAYING)

| don't know if it's all the same way

| think you love me, too

‘Cause you said that you do

Don't even think about putting that guitar down.

Very embarrassing. Drew?

What? You have to play me that song right now.

I'm not playing you anything.

It's been in my head ever since | heard it the other day. Please.

Through the wall in the hallway? Yes, please!

Amber, I'm not playing it. Drew?

It's very embarrassing. I've done everything for you.

I've let you stay here. | Know.

I've fed you. I've given you drugs! | appreciate it.

Please. The least you can do is play me a song.

It's humiliating.

Drew, | feel sad and it's gonna make me feel better.

You know | can't sing. Please? Please, for me?

It's just me, please?

I'll play. You're gonna feel bad for me, but whatever.

I'll help you. I'll, I'll figure it out and sing with you, okay?

(WHISPERS) All right.

| don't know who to blame

| don't know If it's all the same but |

Think you love me, too

Because you Say that you do

And when | say it right

It's only with you that | meant it

Know that I've got you

So know that you got me, too

‘Cause | love you the way you are

No matter what I'll always want you back

Now they're gone and took away

A part of you But | will always stay

| don't know if I'm in the right

| don't know if I'm on the right side

If you lose your peace of mind

I'll be the one you can find

| love you the way you are

No matter what I'll always want you back

Now they're gone and took away

A part of you But | will always stay

But | will always stay

It's really good.

All right, bud, it's time. We gotta go here.

| don't want this phone anymore, you can take it back to the store.

Uh, okay. Well, if | take it back, I'm not getting you an upgrade.

No, you can take it back. | don't... | don't want it.

What's going on?

Do you think if you take the phone back, Mom will stop being mad at you?

Buddy, I'm...

| messed up. Okay? Not you. I, uh...

| should have communicated more with your mom. And that's my fault.

We're just trying to figure this situation out, you Know? The adults, too.

No, but is it my fault that you and Mom got separated?

Absolutely not.

‘Cause Sydney said that before | moved in with you guys, everything was better.

Okay, well, first of all,

you didn't just

"move in with us." You understand me?

You came to be our son.

That means that, no matter what happens,

no matter what you do,

for the rest of your life, your mom and |

are not gonna stop loving you.

No matter what.

Oh, for crying in the bucket!

What part of "no" does she not understand?

| know, | know. You are not ready to sell the house.

And ordinarily I'd be very respectful of that decision. Ordinarily?

But ordinarily | don't get an offer this good. Jack upped his bid.

We didn't counter.

| Know, which is why, | guess he, um, came back higher than asking.

Right there. My God.

"Oh, my God" is right. That would be a record for the neighborhood.

And it would probably buy me that vacation to Hawaii that I've always wanted.

But don't let me influence you. Oh, my God.

This can't be right. It's totally right.

And you got a lot of thinking to do. You have three days.
