Previously on "Life Sentence"...

You know I'm not here
'cause I wanna be, right?

I didn't come here because
I wanted to be, either,

but then helping people,
it was helping me, too.

Gina, Diego's new boss.

- You're a history buff, Gina?
- I am.

I'm a history professor.

Why don't you put your number in
here, and I'll give you a call.

I don't date guys who try to game me.

I'm not gaming you.

- You're not?
- No.

Can we be friends?

I really like hanging out with you.

What was that for?

Don't ask questions.
Women are confusing.

You told me that you and Wes
were having problems.

No, I-I said that things
were complicated

because of Dr. Grant and Pippa.

When other people come into the mix,

it is a symptom of a bigger issue.

Every conversation that we have
is about your wants

and your needs and your feelings.

So when are we gonna talk
about what I want?

I'm gonna stay at Diego's tonight.

I'm just not sure if
we're gonna last forever.

- You still love him?
- So much.

Then you don't give up.

You work on it.

Every marriage goes
through tough times...

but no matter how tough things get,

you have to come to the table.

Hi.

Hi.

So, did you call to see
if you could still

take that job in San Francisco?

- I did.
- Great!

And I hope the guy
that they already hired

will be very happy in it.

Oh, Wes...

I...

really messed up your future, haven't I?

That's just it. It isn't my future.

It's our future.

You're right.

It is.

And we are going to start
making decisions

about it together.

So will you just come home,
and we'll talk about it?

Of course.

I'll see you tonight.

Yeah.

I knew I had my work
cut out for me with Wes...

which made me miss the early days

when things were easy and playful...

when we were super hot
for each other...

Oh! I'll come back later.

And we couldn't bear to be apart.

Oh, my God! Diego, stop!

You can't say stuff like that to me

when I'm not gonna see you for two days.

The worst was that
everyone else was so happy.

Oh, hey, honey. Are you here to see me?

'Cause I got nothing going on
and I am miserable.

Why are you smiling?

Sorry, it's just so nice
to not be the only miserable

Abbott in town today.

Does this have anything to do
with the 6-foot British guy

I saw sleeping on the couch last night?

Yeah.

But he's home now,
and we're gonna work on us.

Which is why I'm gonna read

all of Lizzie's marriage books

and figure out exactly how to do that.

Oh, can I make a suggestion?

Please.

While you guys are working on stuff,

don't ignore what's good
between you two.

You've got great chemistry,

and sex can get you
through the tough times.

I'm telling you, your father and I...

And I'm out!

Okay, honey. Well, I love you!

- Have good sex!
- I'm not listening!

This place is closed for good,

so it does not look like
they are hiring waiters.

You're gonna find a job soon.

It looks like they were
in the middle of a remodel

and just walked out.

Someone should convert this into a bar.

That's what Main Street really needs.

It does have great bones.

Hey, why don't I do that?

- What?
- Convert this place?

I would be a great bar owner.

It's like throwing a party every night.

Plus, you've seen my carpentry skills.

I'm pretty great with
a pneumatic nail gun.

No, you are not.

Still...

I've always wanted to own my own bar.

When I was 9, I ran a side hustle

out of Lizzie's Lemonade Stand.

Spiked all the moms' drinks with vodka.

How did you get vodka when you were 9?

Found it in the bushes.

You haven't met my mom. She's fun.

Well...

I think it's a great idea.

Me too.

Hey, look at me.

I'm a man with a plan.

Yeah, you are!

Nope. Mnh-mnh.

I thought we had a moment.

I thought we were friends.

But you kissed me the other day, and...

we are not talking about that.

Good to know.

- Hi.
- Hey. What's going on?

Step one... research.

So, it turns out we are not
the first people in the world

to have marital problems.

So, high five.

"The We Factor", "Crisis Immersion",

"Emotional Stress Fracture Theory"

Kinda sounds like
the line-up of Coachella.

By the way, I also invited
Lizzie over tomorrow

to talk about couples counseling.

It really helped her and Diego.

Counseling. Okay.

I just thought we might
need someone to help us

sort through our specific problems,

like you hating your job
and my super-invasive family

and Dr. Grant and Pippa and...

We do have a lot to sort through.

Hey, but in the meantime...

why don't we focus on
what's good between us?

I could get into this...

My mom was right.

No matter what, Wes and I

always had one thing to fall back on.

We had great chemistry,
but that night we did not.

And we've never had that problem before.

- We just were not connecting.
- Okay.

I know how sisters talk,
but I'm a modest Brit,

and if you could pretend
to talk about anything

other than our disaster sex,

I would appreciate it.

- It was that bad, huh?
- So bad.

Hey, it's totally normal.

Bad sex happens when
you're in crisis mode.

Don't freak out.

You guys will discuss it in therapy.

Ooh-hoo, cannot wait.

We're ready to set up a session
like yesterday, so...

- number, please?
- Yeah, about that...

My therapist's rates have...

gone up since Diego and I saw her last.

She's $300 an hour now.

Good God. Is she a wizard?

There are a million other therapists.

Okay, so we just need to find
one that works with our budget.

Which is?

Somewhere in the neighborhood of free?

You know what?

I can check at the hospital later.

Maybe I can get a volunteer discount.

- Is that a thing?
- It is not.

I needed to talk to the one person

who always made me feel better...

Hey, there's my girl! How you doing?

But he seemed so happy

that I didn't want to make him
feel worse, so...

I'm great! You ready to do this?

I cannot believe that you
signed up for a 5K.

Gina signed us up, and she
wants to train together,

but I don't want to look
stupid and out of breath,

so I'm going to pre-train with you,

and then when I'm less embarrassing,

I will train with her.

You really like her, don't you?

I really do.

I could see us having
something really special...

like what you and Wes have.

Yeah, I want that for you, too, Dad.
Come on.

But I think our family

may be a little complicated for her.

It is...

but you can keep her away from all that.

Just try and focus on her.

Will do.

Hey, let's go left up here
so we can get a milkshake.

- Dad, we're in training.
- Oh, come on!

Father-daughter dates
always include milkshakes.

Nope, not today.

You have got a girlfriend to impress.

I do, don't I?

I may have screwed up my relationship,

but I was gonna be nothing
but helpful to Dad's.

I took you out of the fund
because you were a class B.

It wasn't really enough
of a return. So...

I like the core strategy for you,

so I say we keep moving the
portfolio in that direction.

Great, thanks.

Now that Stella's not sick,

- mind if I have my key back?
- Sure.

Full disclosure... I have copies.

Alright, well, one key at a time.

So you're just here
to mainline jam, or...

Oh, no, I'm here to talk
to you about the bar.

You're going to law school?

No, I'm talking about a real bar.

The important kind where
people get drunk.

Oh, of course. How silly of me.

See, I wanna buy one.

That way, I can hire myself,
which means I can come

and go to the bar after my curfew

because it's also my workplace.

Boom! Bonus.

You want to buy a bar?

- It's brilliant, right?
- Uh...

Where's the money coming from?

I'm gonna get a small business loan.

- How's your credit score?
- I don't have one of those.

- Collateral?
- Got nothing.

And you're a convicted felon, right?

No offense, but why do you think a bank

is gonna hand you money to open a bar?

Because I have a friend
who knows all the ins and outs

on the financial stuff,
and he's gonna coach me.

I mean, your friend's only gonna
be able to get you far...

Oh, this is gonna turn out
to be me, isn't it?

Hi.

- So glad I caught you.
- Just running to class.

Uh, I don't know
if I'd call it "running".

I'm a little sore from training.

Gina has me doing a 5K.

Ow! I like this Gina.

Me, too.

So, what's going on?

Well, I've been writing
a children's book,

and I sent it to
a small publisher, and...

- they don't hate it!
- That's great news!

I know.

And now they want to see
some mockups of the art,

so I was thinking you might
know an art student

who might be interested in helping.

I think I do know one person.

I'm gonna kill you.

Really? That is amazing! Thank you!

Guess who just got
free marriage therapy.

Oh, that's great. How did you do it?

You know that social-worker guy

Miles-something who comes
around here to do counseling?

Well, he needed a bunch more hours

to complete his Master's,

and I convinced him to take us on.

And the sooner the better,

because lately it feels like Wes

and I have the only
wonky relationship in town.

I swear, if I see another happy couple,

I'm literally gonna vomit.

Uh... then don't look.

The weird thing about
watching Dr. Grant and Dr. Russo

micro-grope each other

was that seeing this happy
couple actually made me happy.

One of the problems
in my marriage had been solved

without any work at all.

Hi.

I'm sorry. I was just...

Trying to swallow Dr. Russo's face?

So, you and Dr. Russo.

Um... yeah.

Dr. Russo's amazing.

I am really happy for you.

And I meant it...

Cool.

Even though things
were still really awkward.

So, what can we do for you?

The first round of the new
trial went very well,

but I do need someone to take
the file to Hematology.

File Transport just happens
to be my specialty.

Okay.

Seriously? Mom?

Your mom's a great artist, Lizzie.

She stopped pursuing it
to raise you guys.

I always thought she
should get back to it.

And she needs her own thing.

I get that, but I don't get
why it has to be on me.

When your mom and I split up,

Aiden helped me get back on my feet.

It brought us closer.

I just think that your mom

could use your help in that same way.

So...

what is up?

I was hoping you would read my book.

And if you like it,
maybe you would be interested

in doing some mock-ups of the artwork.

- Really?!
- Yeah.

Wow! Of course, Lizzie!

I can't wait to read it.

And thank you for thinking
of me for this.

Oh, honey, I am so touched.

Oh, Mom.

The loan officer that I set you up with

is open to risk,

but she needs to believe
that you're a good bet.

So you need to be prepared
for questions like...

What experience do you
have running a bar?

None, but I do have experience
running out of a bar.

Why?

- Bartender's husband.
- Got it.

Hi. Okay, I have some really good news.

Oh! What... is... all this?

Aiden's future!

He's buying a bar.

Oh. My God, you're serious.

That's so great!

Yeah, I'm helping Aiden
prepare for his bank interview.

By the way, we still got to
go over your five-year plan.

Pretty sure the five-year plan

is to sell as much alcohol as possible.

Nailed it.

I'm so sorry, Stells.
What is your good news?

Well, I managed to get us

free marriage therapy at the hospital...

- Oh, that's great!
- In 20 minutes.

Okay.

Aiden, you think you got this?

I'm gold.

Right, don't show off the bling.

Got it.

So you're our couples counselor?

Yes. I'm... yes.

Right. Are you old enough to...

I'm 24, Master's student,
still training,

but I assure you, I am qualified.

And he's free, so let's
jump in, shall we?

Headline... The two of us
are having trouble

operating as a "we"

because we didn't plan
on having a future.

I thought you said you were married.

We are, but I was planning on dying.

O... kay.

Let's unpack that.

Wes and I filled Miles in
on all the details.

We got married on a whim.

I left my family and my job
in London to move here.

The INS thought that
we were faking our marriage.

I lied about everything.

There's this doctor that I work with.

And my ex-fiancée turned up.

I thought I wanted a baby.

I'm exhausted from this job that I hate.

And then we had trash-fire sex.

I'm sorry, is that good or bad?

Not good, Miles. Not good.

Okay, well, this...

is not something I've seen
in my training...

but it seems to me like
the core issue is that...

From the moment Wes maxed
out his credit card

to buy you an engagement
ring a week after you met,

he's been trying to make you
happy at his own expense.

Right, but, to be fair, I didn't know

that he had maxed out his credit card

to buy this ring
until like 30 seconds ago.

'Cause I would never,
ever ask him to do that.

But I did it anyway.

I mean, I would've been happy
with rubber bands

on our fingers, but...

when we went past that shop in Paris...

I saw your eyes light up, and I...

I just couldn't help myself.

Exactly.

And you still can't.

You're still functioning as
though Stella's time is limited.

Your dynamic is built
around making her life

as happy as possible.

I don't want that.

Good.

Then, Wes, you have to change.

You can't be the only one
making sacrifices.

Well...

Wes isn't the one
making all the sacrifices.

I'm sorry, I...

Okay, what sacrifices
have you made for Wes?

Um...

Oh! I buy 1% milk.

It's basically water.

I think we need a new counselor.

100%.

Clearly Miles is on your side.

Wait, what?

Clearly he said that all of
our problems are my fault

because I'm selfish.

Uh, he said all our problems
are my fault

because I don't stand up for myself.

Well, it is not fair for you
to resent me for things

- I didn't ask you to do.
- I don't resent you!

I just wish that I wasn't the one

making all the sacrifices.

I will make sacrifices.

But Miles is on probation.

So many copies!

Why are you not wearing pants?

Because I'm in my own home.

Well, we got a meeting with
the loan officer in 10 minutes.

No, you don't need me. You got this.

I do need you. You know this banker,

and we practiced with you
on my left side.

I need my left-hand man.

Please?

- It's okay.
- Okay.

- Give me three minutes.
- Two minutes!

We've got a banker to dazzle.

You want to grab lunch?

There's a TexMex place
across the street.

Perfect, 'cause I could use
a stiff margarita.

My girlfriend's insisting that I come

to her engagement party tomorrow night.

- It's fun.
- Nightmare.

I'm the last of my
single friends, so they gather

around me at these things
like I'm a unicorn...

sad, spinster unicorn.

Well... what if I come with you?

I would never ask you to do that.

Why not?

Because the new boyfriend
always gets grilled,

and it's really far.

I'd drive to Nebraska if you ask me to.

I'm serious about the offer
and about you.

You are my priority.

That means a lot.

You have a big family,

and I've been down
that road before, so...

Hey, my kids are grown.

You have my full attention.

And you have mine.

Hmm.

- How was therapy?
- I feel like I got punched

in the face with a stuffed sock.

I remember that feeling. Good times.

How are things going with Mom?

I'm waiting for her
to finish reading my book,

but I don't expect much.

You know how Mom criticizes
everything I do.

That is not true.

- Is that true?
- Seriously?

Hi, Lizzie! Hi.

I finished your book.

- And?
- I loved it!

- Hmm.
- Thanks, Mom.

I'm glad you liked it.

So did you feel inspired to do any

"Kitty Loses Her Meow" sketches?

- Let me show you.
- Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Is this a cat?

It's a pineapple.

A pineapple is not a cat.

No, honey.

It's a fruit.

But I didn't write a book about a fruit.

The way you wrote it was so literal,

but if the cat couldn't meow

because it's a pineapple,
that would be fun!

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

The publisher kinda thinks
it's fun as it is.

Well, if that's what they want,
I will take the note,

and I will show you

some more sketches at home later.

- Excellent! Whoo!
- Okay. Thanks, Mom.

- Got it.
- Yeah.

Okay.

And we have a lease

that over three years
will allow us to amortize...

fixed costs to offset
operating expenses.

Now, I know what you're thinking...

A bar is a risk,
but the numbers are solid.

So what do you say?

I love it.

I like betting on new ideas.

- So we're doing this?
- No.

- Why not?
- He's got no employment history,

he's wearing an ankle monitor...

yes, I saw it...

plus he's got the credit
score of a potted plant.

Please, I'm vouching for Aiden.

He's a smart guy,
he's very hard-working,

or he can be when he wants to be.

Aiden just needs someone
to take a chance on him.

I just can't do it.

Now, if it were someone like you,

Wes, you don't have a ton
of savings or collateral,

but you've got a finance background

and employment history.

Well, I have great news.

We're partners.

Hey, bro, it was not cool of you
to reject me outright

in front of that banker.

I'm sorry.

I do feel like this
is a great idea for you.

It's just...

it's not for me.

So what I'm hearing you say is that

you'd like to see the space,

so I'm gonna grab the keys
from the leasing office.

- Aiden.
- Please, Wes.

I've never asked you
for anything before.

That's literally all you've done.

I'll see you there in 10!

Aiden?

Sorry about the dust.

So, this is the space.

It is rough, but it has
got great bones, right?

Yeah, it does.

So, I'm thinking...

a projector over there
playing old movies,

a couple of game tables here.

Yeah, I can see that.

And the projector works,
but I might put it over here

for a cooler visual backdrop.

I like it.

Hey, Stella!

What's going on? Is this an ambush?

No, I just thought you might
want to talk to your wife

before you make some
kind of big investment.

Alright, check it out.
Huh, what do you think, sis?

I think...

- this layout is amazing.
- Yeah!

And the location's pretty ideal.

What... What's gonna go over here?

Oh.

This area is reserved
for the classy beer pong.

How is beer pong classy?

Custom table, no plastic cups.

No.

Wait.

Maybe.

- Ooh! He's feeling it!
- You are.

You are feeling it.

Alright, quick, just, um...

come up with an idea.

Just... Sky's the limit. Go, go, go.

Uh... okay.

Uh... uh...

this is bonkers, but what if
we got a British phone booth,

we put it over here, and made
a sort of speakeasy entrance.

That is cool.

Come on, bro!

Let's do this!

What do you got to lose?

Literally everything.

But you also have so much to gain.

You hate your job, and this
could make you so happy.

This could be the new adventure
you've been looking for.

And we'll have a blast.

My out-of-the-box thinking with your...

everything else.

What do you think?

I'll think about it.

- Yes!
- High five.

Dude, "I'll think about it"

is not really a high-five opportunity.

- Low five?
- Or a low five.

Got it. He'll think about it.

- Oh, hey, sweetie.
- Hey.

Oh.

Are... I hope this isn't for my book.

It definitely is.

See the cat there?

Barely, but I do see a snail.

The cat has a pet snail.

It joins in on the journey,
so it's not so predictable.

Mom, there are no snails in my book.

I just thought I'd add

a little bit of creativity, sweetie.

Okay, so now my book
is neither fun nor creative.

- I didn't say that.
- This is ridiculous.

I never should have agreed to this.

What do you mean by "agree to this"?

- You asked me to help you.
- No, I didn't!

I let you in on it as a favor
because Dad feels bad

that you've got nothing
going on in your life.

M... Mom, I...

Hey, hey, I'm so sorry I'm late.

- Got stuck at the bar.
- Right.

Stella mentioned you're opening
a bar with her brother?

I'm thinking about it.

It would make you happy.

I can tell. He... He's nervous.

Understandably.

My brother has had a colorful history.

Why are you hesitating on this?

It's not Aiden, Stella.

Wes?

Okay, if I'm gonna be honest, it just...

it does feel a little hard to make plans

to start a business
with her brother when we...

When we what?

When we don't know
how it's gonna turn out.

What are you saying?

We don't know how our
marriage will turn out?

Well, isn't that what we're
questioning right now?

Isn't that why we're in therapy?

No, we're in therapy to work on it,

to make it better,

not to decide if we want
to be in it or not.

Unless... Is that why you're here?

When all else fails,
you call the one person

who always makes you feel better,

even when you swore
you wouldn't bother him.

- Hi, Stella.
- Hi, Daddy.

If you're too busy to deal
with Abbott chaos right now,

just say so, okay?

Not busy at all. What's going on?

I think my marriage is imploding.

Can I come over?

Of course. I'll see you in a few.

Facing the problems
in your marriage is hard.

Your mom and I couldn't hack it.

Never even acknowledged we had problems.

So you're way ahead of us.

I've just spent all this time
thinking that I was the one

that had to figure out what I wanted.

And now?

Now I'm worried that all the sacrifices

he's made to move
our relationship forward

have just moved him further away

from everything he wants in life.

And...

I'm so scared he's gonna quit on us.

Is that Gina?

Yeah, but it's okay.

What? No, Dad. You have to answer her.

Nah, it could wait.

- Why? What's going on?
- Nothing.

Dad.

I was...

I was supposed to go

to this thing with her tonight,

but I texted her and let her
know that something came up.

Dad, no.

You're... You're doing
exactly what Wes does.

You're still treating me like I'm sick,

and you're making sacrifices

that I know you're gonna regret.

I will never regret being there for you.

Will you please just answer your phone?

Answer it.

See? No point.

She broke up with you, didn't she?

Yep.

Hi, Lizzie.

I'm so sorry for the things that I said.

I got carried away and...

No, no. I'm sorry.

Your book is great the way it is.

Come here. Look.

Wow.

Mom, this is...

This is exactly it.

You saw what I was imagining
and you made it better.

Really? You like it?

Mom, I love it.

It's fantastic.

Thank you, Lizzie.

I really needed this.

Hey, don't thank me.

You're really talented.

I don't mean about work.

I mean... this.

Hey, do you remember when you were 12

and you were just a little bit too old

to snuggle up with me in bed?

So you started bringing a book,
and you'd climb in

and we called it "Reading Club".

Yeah, of course I remember.

And you'd lie on my shoulder,
reading to yourself.

I had a book, too,

but I didn't read a word.

I just sat there

soaking in the last moments
of your childhood.

Oh, honey.

I miss that connection.

Me, too, Mom. Me, too.

Oh, my baby.

Hey, man.

Sorry to bother you.

No bother. So, make a decision yet?

You know, when Stella and I got married,

I kept my lease in London.

I had every intention
of going back to my old life.

Just didn't think there'd be
anything here for me

after Stella.

It's okay.

None of us thought that she'd make it.

But then she got her cure,

and my whole future was different.

I was here...

with Stella in Asheville,

with all of you insane people.

Right?

So let's do this.

I'm sorry, Aiden.

I really wish I could, but...

I just don't know if my
marriage is gonna last.

Look, whatever happens
between you and Stella,

we're brothers.

I still want to do this bar
with you, man.

- Really?
- Yeah!

But for what it's worth,

I think you guys are gonna make it.

Wish I felt the same way.

I'm sorry, man. I just...

I can't do this.

Hi, Stell-Belle.

I don't think I'm gonna be
running anymore,

unless someone's chasing me, so...

I figured.

Ahh. Thank you.

Dad, I'm so sorry about Gina.

It's not your fault. It's mine.

I still treat you like you're
the most important thing

in the world.

It's not because you're sick.

It's because...

it's true.

How'd things turn out with you and Wes?

Unh-unh. No.

We are not talking about me.

I came here to check on you.

I'm fine.

I promise.

Gina's probably not right for me anyway.

She doesn't have kids,
she'll never understand

that part of me,

and anyone who breaks up over text...

Dad, I know you really liked her.

I know. I did.

I do.

Then you have to let her know
that you're in this with her.

You can't just give up.

Neither can you.

My dad was right.

The problem was...

I wasn't sure what I really wanted...

until I was.

Aiden?

I already told you I can't do...

Hello, Mr. Charles.

Thank you for meeting me.
Please take a seat.

What's going on?

This is a presentation.

So, what this column shows
is how much love I have for you,

which is very high.

Now, compare that with how much
work I am willing to put in,

and I think you can see
how much our relationship

will amortize over five years,

And... I think you agree
that our marriage

is a pretty solid investment.

That's not how amortizing works.

On this chart it is. See, right here.

But let's get down to the specifics.

I see a fantastic business
opportunity for you here.

A place where your creativity,
your happiness,

and your own-boss-ness shows
potential for tremendous growth.

I'm intrigued.

And...

on this chart you can see
just a small portion

of the proposed sacrifices

I'm willing to make
to enhance that growth,

including getting a better-paying job

so that I can support the both of us

in case things go south with this place.

And selling personal possessions
to invest in what you want.

Like...

Stella, you did not!

I did.

I bought you a phone booth.

How did you pay for this?

You sold your ring?! Stella...

That was my old wedding ring.

His and her rubber bands.

Are you sure?

Yes. lt was never about a ring.

Wes, it was about you.

And I want a future with you,

and I want to build it together,

so if you want to do this bar,

I will do whatever it takes
to show you that I am in.

So, in summation, Mr. Charles,

let me reiterate

that I see potential
for life-long happiness

and mutually beneficial... Mm.

Wait, is this how you end
all of your business meetings?

- They were very good charts.
- Yeah?

Yeah, you liked those?

I love you, Stella Abbott.

I love you, Wes Charles.

The next day, Wes and Aiden
officially became partners.

I'm impressed, Aiden.

I've told a lot of guys
to get their act together.

You're the first one who actually did.

So...

you think you might
eventually be into a guy

who's getting his life together?

I already am.

Wait, what?

I like you, Aiden.

As more than friends?

Way more than.

That's... Okay.

So, I've never made
the transition from friend

to more-than, so I'm not sure
what we should do next.

What should we do next?

We say goodbye.

See, we're already having
our first disagreement

because that does not sound like

a way-more-than thing to do.

Wait, you're serious.

Project Build + Better offered me a job

in management in South America.

It's a chance to give back

in a way I thought I never could.

You have to go.

You have to.

Thanks for understanding.

Bye, Aiden.

Bye?

That's it?
I'm just supposed to forget about you?

You're not gonna forget me.

Now you won't forget about me either.

Well? Did they like it?

They're gonna publish my book!

Oh, Lizzie! I'm so proud of you!

Honey!

And they had some ideas
of amazing illustrators

that they want to pair me with.

That's wonderful!

But I told them there's
only one illustrator

who really gets my voice.

Who is it?

You, dummy!

Shut your mouth.

You're officially a
children's book illustrator.

Please don't shut the door.

- I actually want...
- 'Cause I think that...

I'm sorry.

She's your daughter,
and I should've at least...

No, you were right.

I think maybe I was hiding
behind my family because...

this could be something real.

The last real thing I had...

I screwed up.

Well, if you want to screw this up...

you're gonna have to try
a lot harder than that.

So there we were, putting in the work.

It wasn't going to be easy, but
nothing worth doing ever is.

And the best part was

we were all looking
towards our future...

together.
