Hey, how'd that, uh,
job interview go?
Great, fantastic.

Really?
No.

You know what,
you should invent
like a shoe LoJack,

like a beeper thing,
you know?

I was thinking about
a kid shoe with a clicker.
It beeps, you find it.

That's great. I love it.
It's brill.

It was my idea
and I feel like you
just kind of took it.

Hey, Gordon,
nobody's phoning it in.

You are an essential part
of this company, okay?
And we're in trouble.

Gordon's the boss and
you're just a serf, Son.

You know what
happens to serfs.
They get beheaded.

And I'd like to
offer you a job.

Come on!
I'm in!
I'm in Alvin Ailey!

Oh, yeah, yeah,
yeah. Oh!

New York.
Yes.

I miss you guys.
I miss you.

Yeah, you sure?
I do.

This is going to
be fine, right?

Yep.

What? You don't think?
You don't think
it's going to be fine?

Honey, I just said
everything's gonna
be fine.

Well, you didn't sound
very convincing.

Oh, my God. Giving Sarah
a job is a great idea.
It's gonna work...

Yeah, right? I mean,
she's smart, she's talented.
Yeah.

She knows
it's my territory.
Absolutely.

She's gonna respect that,
right?
One hundred percent.

You're all fidgety.

I'm not fidgety.
You are fidgety.
You're like, fidgety.

I'm not fidgety.

Go get in your car,
grab a latte,

get your muffin,
have your morning routine.
You'll be fine.

Honey, why is Suze Lessing
walking up to our front door
at 7:30 in the morning?

What? Oh.
Suze Lessing.

She has that look.

What look?
That look like she wants
something from us.

Listen, you're going to
have to deal with this.
I got to get to work.

Hello. Good morning.
I can't walk in my shoes.

Will you hold that for one
second? What do you think?
Oh, wow.

I feel like I just need
something to cover up
Mmm.

You know?
Like a blazer or sweater.

A blazer,
but it's good on its own.

You look great.
Fabulous.

Wait. So, what,
you're working
at Uncle Adam's,

but you're still
working at the bar?

Yeah, but it's just temporary.
And Grandma and Grandpa will
look after you.

Yeah, we got it covered.
Not that you need
babysitting, but you know.

It's cool.
Make sure they do
some kind of school...

Take it easy.
Hey, if you need help
with your math,

call Aunt Julia, 'cause
disturbingly she remembers
everything from high school.

I remember math.
I can help her
with the math.

It's changed, Mom.
It's different now.
It's not the same math.

You know what?
I can't even drink this...

We got your back, sweetheart.
Yeah, really.
Take it easy.

...'cause I'm
too nervous. Okay.
Okay?

I'm gonna do it.
Here I go.
Okay.

Make it happen. Bye!

- Bye. Good luck.
- Good luck!

Bye-bye.
Good luck!

Okay, yeah, thank you.
I just need the keys
and the wallet.

That's all. Okay,
love you. Bye.

Alright, bug,
you have a good day,
all right?

I'll see you tonight.
Mmm.

Love you. Mmm.
Oh, love you!
Mmm.

Excuse me.

Well, hello.

You're Sydney's mom.

Yes, I am.
And who are you?

I'm Amy and I want to have
a playdate with Sydney.

You do? Well, great.

How's tomorrow
after school?

Um, tomorrow?

I don't see why not.

So, we're on?

We're on.
Great.

I'm gonna beat you.
Hold on.
There you go.

There he is.
There he is.

Buddy, come here.

Oh, I'm so happy to see you.
Mmm. I missed you.

Mmm. Mmm.

Nice outfit.
Thank you. '80s, isn't it?

Mmm.
Mmm.

I missed you.
I missed you, too.

I can't wait to talk to you
in private.

I need to talk
to you, too, in private.

Okay.
Okay.

Buddy, how come
you smell so good?

I took a bath.

You took a bath?

You must've woke up
so early to take a bath.

All right,
just remember,
this is an internship,

so, expectations low.

What do you mean?
Whose expectations?
My expectations

or their expectations of me?
Yours and everybody's
expectations, okay?

This is a terrible
pep talk.
You're going to do great.

I am not going to do great.
It's a bad mistake,
dumb idea.

Sarah, listen to me.
You're going to
do great, okay?

I don't even know
what I'm supposed
to be doing great at.

Look, all you gotta do
is go with the flow.

Just listen and learn.
That's it.
Listen and learn.

Yeah.
Okay. I can
do that.

Okay, after you.

Oh, thanks.
Yup.

Hey, everybody,
good morning.

I'd like to introduce you
to Sarah Braverman.

It's my sister,
obviously.

She's the intern that
I told you about.

This is Eddie.
He's the head of
our design team.

He's going to
introduce you to everybody
and get you started.

Okay.
All right? Have a good day.

Thanks.

Hi.

- Anyone ever heard of nepotism?
- 'Cause I sure have.

I'm just kidding, that's...
Well, I'm not kidding,
but anyway.

- Thank you.
- It's okay. Here.

It's really hot, okay.

Okay, thanks.

Oh.

I don't know
how it happened.

It was just a day
like any other day

and then the next thing I know
we're getting divorced.

I'm sorry.
He says I'm obsessed
with Noel.

I mean,
of course I'm obsessed.
Who isn't obsessed?

I mean, does he think
that I want to spend
every waking hour

focusing on getting Noel
through the day?

Oh. Anything Adam
and I can do.
Oh, God.

I'm sorry.
And Noel doesn't
know yet.

I can't figure out
how to tell him,
and neither can Phil.

And he's such a good dad.
I mean, he loves Noel so much.

And I'm so mad at him!
Yeah.

What can I do
to help you?
Oh, God.

I want to help you.
I want to.
I don't know.

I have a meeting
with Noel's teacher
after school.

And then I have
a board meeting
after that.

Okay, why don't
I pick him up?

No. No, it's...
I'll pick Noel up,
of course.

No.
Suze.

Let me.

I could drop him off,
maybe.

Is that okay?
Absolutely.

Oh, thank you so much.
One hundred percent.

It's okay.
I'm so sorry.

You want your tea?
It's hot.
Yes.

- It's too hot.
- Nothing works.

Oh, God, I'm sorry.
I can cool it down.

Adam. I haven't even
been here that long
and I'm doing so well.

It's like those lame brains
didn't even know
anything about shoes.

Hey, hey, hey,
Sarah, Sarah.

'Cause I'm telling them
a thing or two. What?
Hey.

I want you to meet
Gordon Flint.

He's the founder
and President
of T and S Footwear.

This is my sister,
Sarah.
Oh, my God.

You, uh, were saying?

I'm... I have a terrible
self-esteem and it causes me
to overcompensate.

The design team
is awesome, truly.

I know.
I hired them.

Yes,
I'm sure you did.

They're so... Good.
Well done. Okay.

I don't know why
I came in here.

But, um, I am gonna...

Oh, I wanted to say
thank you so much

for this opportunity
to work here.
Yeah.

And thank you so much
for signing off on me.

I didn't sign off
on you yet.

Listen,
I'm just kidding.

It's like
a mini heart attack.

Okay.

Oh, um, well, I'm gonna...
I'd better get back
to work. So...

Bye.
Okay. All right.

Hey. It's nice
meeting you.
Hey.

Oh, nice to meet you, too.

Hey.

Hey, you.

Hey, you. Huh?
Come here.

Look at that.

Hey.
It's coming
right along.

Thank you.

Yes, indeed.
Hey.

Hi. Ooh.
Getting a little
warm there.

Hey, now,
there are kids present.
Yes, indeed.

Hey, did you make
a playdate for Sydney
with Amy Gardener?

No. Amy G. Scheduled
a playdate with me.

Yeah, okay.
We're going to have
to cancel that.

Really? Why?
Yeah.

Well, Amy G. Was mean
to Isabel, who is
Ashley's sister,

and, uh, if Amy G. Has
a playdate with Sydney,

then it's just gonna be
a whole thing where
they actually fight

and Ashley and Sydney, whoo,
they are best friends.

Uh, I thought Harmony
and Sydney were
best friends.

Uh, a lot has changed
over the summer.

And I can't believe
that girl Amy would be
mean to anyone.

Believe it.

Well Syd, you know what,
she seemed like
a really nice girl.

Maybe she messed up.

You want to give her
a second shot and
see how it goes?

You might end up
being friends.

Listen, Mom, Ashley is going
to hate me. And then I won't
have any friends.

Please, Mommy,
don't make me.

- Please.
- I told you.

Hi.

Make yourself at home.

You're out of mustard.
You need more.

Thanks for
letting me know.

Hey, buddy.
Did you get enough to eat?
You're out of mustard.

Do you want a bag?
No.

Hi.
Honey, why is Noel Lessing
in our house?

Suze and Phil are
getting separated.

What? Really?
Yeah.

He doesn't know yet,
so I offered to help.
Wow.

What are they planning
on doing with him?

I don't know, honey.
I have no idea. She's a mess,
a complete mess.

It's really sad.

Oh, how was your day
with your new employee?

Uh, it was actually good.

Uh, she met Gordon.
Gordon seemed to like her,

so that's a relief.
Oh, wow, she already
met Gordon.

Oh, she just walked
into my office, but...

She just walked in?
That's kind of weird.

Well, I don't think
she meant to.

No, she should
knock, though.

What time is Suze
coming to get Noel?

I don't know.
I left a message
on her cell phone.

I have no idea.
I'm not going to
hound the woman.

She just dropped him off
and didn't say what time

she was gonna come
back to get him?

She just got separated.
I'm not gonna hound her.

Okay, well, where
are the kids, because
we have to get over

to my mom and dad's
for the Jasmine,
Jabbar thing.

They're upstairs.
Hiding.

No, you don't get to eat
potato chips in the car.

Why does he get to
eat in the car and I don't?
Why does he get to eat?

Because Noel's parents let him
eat chips in the car and
I want him to feel at home.

No, that's not fair. Why?
Honey, it's okay.

Why don't I get to, then?
They're my chips.

Max.
Well, it doesn't matter
if they're your chips.

It's a rule.
Don't eat that. Stop it.
Guys.

Honey.
I...

That guy singing.
He can't.
Yeah?

No! Stop.
It's Ray LaMontagne.
He's great.

He can't sing.
Uh, I'll turn him down.

Off would be
better. Off.
Stop eating.

I'm turning it off.
Stop eating.

I'm turning it off!
I'm turning it off!
Off!

Adam, off.
It's off.

Stop.
No.

Stop eating them.

Stop.
Max.

What?
Please.

It's okay.
Tell him to stop.

You're pretty.

Thank you.
Tell him
to stop, Mom.

Have a chip, Max.

Okay,
you guys ready?

Cover your cards.
The first three are called
the flop, okay?

Now we're going to share
these three cards.

Hey, you guys,
it's the last one
from the basement.

Ooh.
Okay? So slow down.

All right.

Hey, boss.

Please don't
call me that,
seriously.

Okay, chief.

Oh, God.
Can you pick me
up tomorrow?

Because the car
is giving me
trouble again.

Yeah, no.
No problem.
Be glad to.

Yeah?
Yeah, save
a tree, right?

Okay.
Okay. What?

- Mom, Mom, Mom.
- What?

Can you check
this out?
That's pretty.

Where'd we
get those?
Made it.

Ta-da.
No, you didn't.

Yes, she did.
You didn't make that.

Yeah.
No, you didn't.

She's a pretty
good cook.

Please,
don't be surprised.
I have abilities.

I am surprised.
We don't cook.
We're not cooking people.

That's because
you don't know
what you're doing.

Sweetie, sometimes talent
skips a generation.
You have no...

Wow, Nanny
taught you. Wow.

Hey, Mom.
Hi.

Wait. Whoa. Hey.
What is that?

Uh, Grandpa
and I are building
a bird hatchery.

A what now?
Bird hatchery.
Jeez, what...

Hey, did you guys
do your homework
and everything?

Sarah, your mother
and I are all over
the homework thing.

My gosh, we raised four kids,
by golly. Three of them
turned out pretty good.

Mmm.
See ya.

Bird hatchery?

Are you ready?
Who's going to be
the big winner?

Excuse me, fellas.
Can I talk to you
for a second?

Wait, Crosby,
we're not done
with the hand yet.

Um, okay. You can
finish without me,
all right?

Okay.
You be the dealer.

Can I be in charge?
Can I be in charge?

You don't look
at everyone's...
Can I be in charge?

You're in charge.
Yay.

It's a secret spot.

Where are we going?

Come over here.

Mmm.
Mmm.

Mmm. You're really
into it.

Oh, yeah.

I used to bring girls
back here when I was 14.

Mmm.

Listen.
What?

This long-distance
relationship thing
is for the birds.

And I think I'm ready
to move to New York to
be with you guys, you know?

No pressure.
I'll get my own place.

But I'll be close
and I can help with Jabbar,
and I think it'll be...

What's that look?
Well,

I've got something
to tell you.
Okay.

I've been, uh, chosen
to join the tour company.

The touring company for...

The European tour?
Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Um, when?

Now.

You're kidding.
For real? Now?

Yeah, that's why I came back,
because I'm going to have
to leave Jabbar.

Jasmine, you just moved
to New York.
I know. I know.

And now you're going
to Europe? And then
what, China?

Dance along the Great Wall?
The moon? What's the...

Crosby.
What about Jabbar?

I'm thinking that
he should stay out here,
and he can live with my mom.

You think he should
live with your mom?
Yeah.

Why would he stay
with your mom?
He should stay with me.

Really?
Yeah, he... I'm...

I'm his dad.
He should stay with me.

It's a lot to take on, Crosby.
This is not a night or two.
It's four weeks.

Listen, don't do that.
It's already hard enough that
you're going away, okay?

It...

It'll be fine. I...
I can do it, okay?

He'll come stay with me.
We're going to have
an amazing time.

We'll Skype you
every night.

And then you can dance
your way through Europe.

And it'll go quick. Okay?

Are you sure?

Yeah, I promise.

But just, he's...
He'll stay with me,
though. Okay?

Sarah!

Sarah!

I know, I'm coming!
I'm coming. I'm coming.
I'm hurrying up.

Then come on.

Hi. Here you go.
Hey.

Uh, you know, I actually
pick up at Berkeley Coffee,
so I don't need...

Oh, well, today
I saved you, like, $12.

That's my special
blend coffee.
You're gonna love.

These I'm going
to put on later.
Uh-huh.

They're gorgeous
to look at,
uncomfortable...

What, are you planning
on spending the night
at the office?

What is all this?
No, look.
The kids made me lunch.

I think they actually
miss me from being
gone 24 hours a day.

So that's good.
That's really
sweet.

Can you hold these
so I can back out of here?
Yeah, okay, one sec.

What is this
we're listening to?

This is Ray LaMontagne.

It's nice, but can
we listen to it later?
It's great, isn't it?

Well, actually...
'Cause I just wanted...

I don't think I...
Because...

Can you just take these?
Just put it there.

See, this is not going
to work. It doesn't...

You know what? Fine.
Let's just go.

So, here's what
I've been thinking.
Yeah.

I feel like
the design team is
not thinking big enough.

What are you talking about?
Just not thinking modern
enough and hip enough and

I just want to
keep brainstorming and...

Sarah.
It's going to be fine.
What?

No, no, no, no. But listen,
so what if it had
a personalized aspect?

Oh, my God! Aw.
It's strong, right?

And, like, on those
greeting cards where you can
make your own recording.

I'm just saying
let's think bigger...

All right, you know what,
Sarah, I have to stop
at Berkeley Coffee. Okay?

Why?

Mom...

Got you.

Hi, Sydney's mom.
Hi, Amy.

I'm looking forward
to this afternoon.

Yes, indeed.

Bye, honey.
See you.

Hi.
Hi.

So, I'm...
Yes, Julia.
Sydney's Mom.

Hi. Cynthia.
So nice to meet you.

Amy's really
looking forward
to this afternoon.

So I'm going to have
to cancel the playdate
for this afternoon.

Oh, why?
Well, the situation
with Isabel, I guess.

What situation?
I don't know about
any situation.

Oh, okay, so
apparently there's some bad
blood between Amy and Isabel.

And Isabel is
Ashley's sister so...

Bad blood?
What are you
talking about?

Everybody loves Amy.

Oh, yeah.
Yeah, of course.
I mean, I know I do.

You know what,
listen, I get it.

I'm so glad
you understand.

I understand exactly.

Great. Well,
I'm glad we got
the chance to...

Hello, Adam's sister.

Hi.

Sarah.

Sarah, right.

Is that, uh,
chocolate pudding?

Yes, it is.

I will give you my entire
personally-prepared
by my nutritionist,

gluten-free, vegan lunch

for just one bite of
that chocolate pudding.

No, thanks.
I'll give you a raise.

Really?

No, but come on, please.
Have a heart.

Mmm. Oh,
it's so delicious.

You're not going
to go there.

You know what I like
about chocolate pudding?

Everything.

You know what I love about
tofu shaped like a burger
and heavier than a brick?

Nothing.

Nothing, precisely.

Oh, no.
Excellent for the colon.

You know what?
You need this
more than I do.

No.
Yeah.

Really?
Take it.

This is not some kind
of trick is it?

Uh, I don't have
another spoon.

That's okay.
I'll just use yours.

Really?
You think that's
going to stop me?

I...

You, my lady, are a kind
and decent woman.

Mmm.

Wow.

You can't tell
my nutritionist.

Here, have a little taste.
Mmm. Seriously,

I don't want it.
I can't double dip.
Seriously, I can't either.

I just did.
No, no, no.

Hey, yo.
Hey.

Adam?
Yeah?

What's doing?

Just grabbing
my lunch.

Cool, come.
Join us.

Yeah, we've
got pudding.

Pudding, really?
Yeah.

You have enough pudding
to go around?

Excuse me, Adam.

Yeah?
Phil Lessing's here
to see you.

Phil is here?
Yeah.

Do you want me
to tell him...
No, I'II...

Who's Phil?
Oh.

Uh, he's a friend.
Phil has an
autistic kid, too.

And so the kids
play together.

Phil's marriage is
kind of falling apart.

So, Adam and Kristina
have been watching
Phil's kid...

But he's a friend.

I'll take a rain check
on that pudding.

More for me.

Um, you might want to
do something about
that lighter fluid there.

That's a great idea.
Stow that somewhere.

So, uh, where's
Jabbar's room?

Oh, it's just the one room.
It's pretty cozy.

Yeah, the tour's only
for four weeks, Mom.

Well, I'm just curious.
Uh, where's the boy
going to sleep?

Well, in the past
he's slept there.

Here? On this
rickety chair?

Well, it's a couch.

Um, it's more comfortable
than it looks.

But I have been thinking about
getting a sleeping bag
maybe for me

and then putting Jabbar
on the full-size bed.

Trust me, Mom.
It's gonna be fine.
It's gonna be just fine.

Whatever you say, honey.

Just know that he's got
a bed at my place if it
doesn't work out.

Well, let's have
some waffles. Huh?
Yeah.

So, how would you go about
telling Max that you and
Kristina were separating?

Well, Phil, I don't
think that Kristina
and I would ever get...

Neither did I, my friend.
Neither did I. And then,
bam, it just happens.

Suze goes to sleep
talking about Noel,
and wakes up feeding him,

spends all day
driving around
to the therapies.

And by the time
she gets home at night,
it's just...

I love him.
Mmm-hmm.

I love him to death.
It's just that
there is no us left.

Can I confide in you, Adam?

Well, Phil, I think
it might be best...

Do you remember
our pink cards
from our index card system?

Vaguely.

Our sex cards.
Mmm-hmm.

We used to call the pink ones
our fornicards.
Yeah.

That was before
they started piling up,

unused.

Oh, really? Wow.

A lot of money
in the shoe business, baby.

Hey, Phil, I'm gonna
get you some peppermint
tea, okay?

That'll make you
feel better. Okay?

Adam?
Yeah?

You're the best.

Hey.

Hey there.

You're going to
be okay. Okay?

Let me just, uh...
Let me just...
I'm going to get your tea.

Okay, I'll be
right back.
I'd prefer coffee.

Coffee?
With a little cream.

Sugar? Okay.
A little sugar.

Hey?
Yeah?

Do you guys have
an espresso machine?

Yes, we do.

Espresso?
Cappuccino.

Cappuccino.
Soy milk.

Wow, I never knew
about the tantrums.

I know. Well, most of the time
Max is a really sweet kid.
It's just once in a while...

It sounds pretty intense.

Yeah, it gets
a little blown up.

Hey, yo.
Hi.

How's your buddy Phil?

Uh, he's fine.

Divorce is tough.
Yeah.

Yeah.

Just, uh, making him
a little cappuccino.
Nice.

Hey, you missed out,
buddy. Pudding and
potato chips for lunch.

And you'd better
not tell my nutritionist.
You promise.

That lady sounds too scary.
All right, I gotta
get back to work.

My boss is going to
be mad at me.

That's right.
Yeah. Look out.

Both of them.
Look out.

Hey, thanks
for sharing.

Of course.
Yeah, it was fun.

See ya.
Okay, see you, guys.

Your sister is awesome.

Awesome.

- Matt?
- Yeah?

Do you want to try one
where the drums come in
just a hair later?

Yeah, let's do it.
All right, cool.

One, two,
three, four.

I think I'm a genius.

- Oh, my God.
- Oh, hey.

Missed me?
I did.

Couldn't stay away
for a whole day?
I couldn't.

Good band.
Right?
They're really good.

What's going on?

Well, just my mother
bugging me.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.
Imagine that.

She thinks that, uh,
Jabbar would be better off
staying with her.

Oh, I'm so shocked
to hear that.

Well, she's so obsessed
about that boat.

Really? I didn't get that
impression when she was
over for waffles.

She doesn't like
the boat?

No, she does not
like the boat.
Oh, my gosh.

And she's got
this whole thing

that, you know, like,
he's stayed with her
before long-term,

and he's only stayed with you
for like a night or two.

Mmm-hmm.
So, she's just...

Then you reminded her
that I was his father

and that it wasn't really
any of her concern.

Yeah, yeah, I did.

How do you feel?

Me?
Yeah.

I feel like it's
something to discuss.

Meaning?
Meaning I don't think
my mother's completely wrong.

Right. See, I'm asking
you how you feel

and you keep saying
my mother this
and my mother this.

I didn't have a kid
with your mom.
Well, hey, hey, hey. Okay,

I think that he'd be
better off with her.

You know, I mean, he's got
his own room there.
He's comfortable.

He's known his grandmother
his whole life.

Yeah, well, I'm his dad.

And you'll see him
every day, Crosby.

Oh, is that what you guys
decided? That I can
see him every day?

You and your mom
figured this out?

I don't think, legally, you
guys can just make all these
decisions without asking me.

Whoa, no, no, no, no.
We're not going to go there.

No, it's an element in this.
No, it's not an element.

You can't just go decide
what rights I have.
It's not.

This has nothing to do...
No one's talking about
your rights.

It has nothing to do
with that. I just want to do
what's best for Jabbar.

That's all.
You think going to
Europe for six weeks

is what's best
for Jabbar?

What parenting magazine
did that come from?

First of all,
get your facts right.
Okay.

It's four weeks, not six.
Oh, it's four weeks.
That's so much better.

Yeah, and I'm not
going to Europe
on some vacation,

like I'm going
to backpack through Europe
and dump my kid over here.

Is that what I'm doing?
Is that what I'm doing?

Well, you're not going
to cure cancer.

You know what,
I'm not even...

This is crazy.
Yeah.

You know what, actually,
he's staying with my mother,
so deal with it.

Well, we'll see
what Julia thinks
about that.

I don't care about
what your sister has to say!

Are you kidding me?
You unleash your sister?

Really? That's what
you're going to take it to?
No...

See what I come back with.
Go get your sister.
I just meant...

Gotta be kidding me.
I didn't mean...

Hey, Crosby, how was
that take, man?

I gotta be honest,
dude, I didn't hear
that last take.

I'm sorry.

I mean, what would you do
if someone was telling you

they didn't want your son
to live with you?

Well, I don't think that
I would ever find myself
in that position.

Well, that sounds
judgmental.

Where the hell have
you been? I need input.
Hi.

I had a meeting.

What do you mean,
you had a meeting?

I mean, I don't know.
They just brought me along
to the thing about the logo.

The logo meeting?
Who cares about the logo?

They're just updating it.
Listen, Jasmine's taking off
for four weeks

and she wants Jabbar
to stay with her mom.

Can you believe this?

Well...
I mean, that's not
right, is it?

I mean, I should
have a say in this,
don't you think?

Of course you should
have a say.
Don't I have a right?

I don't know
what your rights are.

You should call Julia,
I mean, just to know.

I think that's
an excellent idea.
Let's call her.

By the way, it's
tremendous that you two
work together now.

It really saves me
a lot of time.
That's good.

What was the meeting
about the logo?

Look, you're gonna call.
Pick up the phone.

All right, all right.
Call Julia.

I didn't mean to break up
your relaxation period.

- Oh, God.
- I'm tired.

Put it on
speakerphone.
Hi, Julia Braverman, please.

Put her on the
video-conference.
Video-conference is awesome.

You guys have
video-conference?
'Cause you can see her

come out of the computer
and you can talk to her
in the computer.

Like in Tron.
It's her brother, Adam.

Put her on.
Yeah, Dick Tracy,
I don't know about Tron.

Guys. No, I understand.

Thanks. Okay, bye.

Uh, she's in a very
important conference call
and cannot be disturbed.

Oh, give me a break.

Well, that's pretty offensive.
The three of us?
That's rude.

But listen, here's what
you've got to do.

You've got to talk
to Jasmine and you
have to let her know

that she doesn't have
the right to make
unilateral decisions

about where and with whom
Jabbar is going to live
while she's away.

It's got to be a dialogue.
"Unilateral," I like that.

Mmm-hmm.
Yeah.

And then you've got
to be ready to, you know,

put your money
where your mouth is and...

What does that mean?
What are you saying?

I don't know, maybe get
an apartment instead of
having him on the boat...

I can't do that between
right now and tomorrow.

I didn't mean
right now.

Are you saying
you don't think...
I mean, are you ready?

I think you're capable.
What are you saying?

She's just asking you
if you think that's
best for Jabbar.

I think that's the question
you have to ask yourself.

Wait. So, you don't think
he should be with me either?

That's not what we're saying.
That's not what...

That's what you both...
That's not
what I'm saying.

I'm saying you should
take some time
to think about it.

I should take
some time.

All right.
Somewhere else.

Because, believe it or not,
this is actually a place
of business

and I have work to do.
I'll not get in the way
of your work,

with your leg up on the desk
while I'm thinking.

I'm sure you can manage
both things.

- He's very tense.
- All right, okay.

You sit there and think
and I'll get back to work

and find out just exactly
what the hell is going on
with the logo meeting.

See what I'm dealing with?
He's so tense here, all day.

I've been reviewing a mental
transcript of the conversation
and in retrospect, I believe

that my comments were not only
appropriate, but they were
entirely justified.

Julia, you essentially told
this mom that her daughter
has issues.

No, I did not.
You're twisting
my words, Counselor.

Oh, no, please.
Not with the legal talk.
It freaks me out.

All right, babe,

I was just trying
to help Sydney out of this
whole playdate thing

by being honest with
the woman, and she goes and
writes me this angry e-mail.

Well, what exactly
did you say to her?

I said nothing.
Nothing?

Maybe I said something about
there being bad blood
between Amy G. And Isabel.

Bad... You said "bad blood"?

What is it,
The Godfather?

That's what you told me.
Is that not the truth?

Sweetheart, Amy G. 's mom
is a powerhouse.

She's the President of
the Parents' Association,

so fix this or the whole
mothers mafia will prevent
our daughter

ever having a playdate
ever again.

Okay, how do I fix it?

Uh, tell her
you were wrong.

I'm not wrong.
I don't want to
compromise my integrity.

Okay, well you can keep your
integrity, and our daughter
will end up bitter and Ionely,

if that's what you want.

These are 5-year-olds.
I can't believe their social
politics are this complicated.

Welcome to my hell.

All right,
pick me up tomorrow?
Yeah.

Okay, thanks. Bye.

Oh, hey, Sarah.
Wait. You, uh,

forgot
your coffee mugs.
Thank you.

Okay, see ya.
Hey,

you know, I was thinking,
it actually might be better
for us not to carpool anymore.

You really hate my coffee.
No, no, no.
No, it's just... It's...

It's the only time of the day
that I get to be by myself.

Nothing personal.
I understand. No, that...
I really do understand.

Okay. All right.
Okay. I'll meet you
there tomorrow.

Thanks.
Bye.

Hey, uh, Sarah, if, uh...

Also, I just want to ask you
not to talk about Max
or my personal life at work.

Yeah. I didn't... I mean...
I didn't mean to get into it.

You know,
just Phil Lessing...

I know, you don't
have to explain.
Just don't do it.

I didn't know
it was a secret.

It's not a secret, Sarah.
It's my personal life

and I should be able
to choose how and when
I want to talk about it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
If you have any other things

you'd like to decide
when and how you talk
about them,

just give me a heads up.
Just let me know.
Sarah, come on.

It's not something
I should have
to ask you for.

I didn't know you
didn't want to talk
about your kid. Okay...

You should just
respect my privacy.

Oh, God, Adam.
All right?

I'll see you tomorrow.
And I also don't think

you should be spending
quite so much time
with Gordon.

What does that mean?
Well...

Sarah, I mean you had lunch
with him for 77 minutes today.

Oh, my God.
You timed our lunch?

I think he might be getting
the wrong idea.

Getting the wrong idea?
Adam, what are
you talking about?

You were just really chatty.
You were flirting with
the guy.

I wasn't being
chatty and flirty.
I have a personality.

I had pudding...

Sarah, look, it's a different
kind of workplace.
It's not a bar.

Oh! Don't say that
to me!

I know it's not a bar.
All right.

You don't have
to tell me it's
not a bar!

I know how to conduct
myself outside of a bar!

Sarah, you're
my little sister, okay.
This guy is a dog.

He's not a good guy to get
involved with, okay?

I know how to judge people
by myself, for myself!
I don't need your help!

It's your second
day on the job!
I know what day it is!

You shouldn't be
hanging out for
an hour and a half

with the president
of the company.
Seventy-seven minutes.

It was only 77 minutes.

I don't even
understand this.
Sorry.

It just feels like
you regret doing this
at all.

Well, don't make me
regret it.

Okay, I won't
make you regret it.
I quit.

Okay?
Well, okay.

It's not going
to work, obviously.
That's a big surprise.

Quitting is definitely
the answer.

So, you can send
my $29 check or whatever
you were paying me

for this great internship
in the mail.
Yeah. Okay, quitter.

Okay?
It's nothing new, you know.

I quit!
Yeah. There you go.
Be a quitter.

Great.

Are you ready?

I think "star" is
wrong here. "Star,"
the one across.

You're right, star is
for sure wrong, 'cause...

Hi, I'm home.
Right, look at
three down.

Three down. "Cane."
"He used a..."
"Cane," right.

It's got to be "cane."
I'm gonna go with "cane."

I'm gonna lightly
pencil it in.

Hi! I'm home.

Hey.
Hi.

Just a minute.
I'm serving.

Has anyone told you
you're horrible?

How are you guys doing?
Did you...

I feel like those backpacks
haven't been opened.

Did anyone
do anything? Huh?

Hey, um, do you want me
to help you start something
for dinner, Mom?

Damn it.
Oh, we ate already.

- Oh.
Forty-four down.

Okay. Did you order
contact lenses, you know?

I will, Mom.
I promise, please.
Give me one sec.

Well, "berretta" is right.

Hey, you know, people need
to get things done, okay?

And it can't just
all be crossword puzzles
and Pac-Man.

You have to actually
do things, okay, and do
your homework. Okay?

Pac-Man?
Pac-Man.

Pac-Man.

Where did she...
Where did she come up
with Pac-Man?

She doesn't
get it, guys.

Whose serve
is it?
Yours.

Mine?

I'm sorry. I just had
a really bad day.

Are you ready?
Yeah.

I'm just...
I'm gonna go kill myself.

"Hot tub."

Nothing.
I'm not even here.

God, you know?

You okay?
Yeah.

Yeah, I'm just...
Hiding?

You want to be alone?
No.

Are you sure?
Yeah.

All right,
I'm getting in.

I like this.

Why is there a trampoline
in our living room?

Noel needs the stimulation.

Is there an end to it?

To what?

To Noel Lessing being
in our house when
I come home from work?

Honey, I don't know
what to say. I mean,
Suze's in a lot of pain.

And I've tried
to say no,
but I can't.

It's just not in me
and I'm sorry.

Big heart.
Mmm.

Bigger than mine.
I don't know about that.

You hired your sister.

That's something
I wouldn't do.

She quit.
She quit? Why?

Because I criticized
her for having a two-hour
lunch with Gordon

and then talking
to him about Max.

Maybe that's better, then,
she quit, you know?

Well, I don't know.
I just...

You know. Maybe I shouldn't
have hired Sarah. I did it
'cause I was feeling guilty.

Honey, she is your sister.
It's okay. You know, you were
just being you.

Just kind and compassionate
and generous and...

Stupid.

No. I was going to say

sexy.

We should make out.
Mmm.

Want to?

Kristina! Hey!

Hi.
Hey.

Noel was wondering
if you have any more
of the pasta salad.

Yeah, yeah.
Let me get it.

Oh, no, you know,
I can get it myself.
Um...

No, it's fine.
No, it's fine.

I can get it. Where...
Just tell me where it is.

Um, it's on the second shelf,
next to the mayo,
behind the pickles.

- Hey, Suze.
- What's going on in here?

Hi, guys.
You know what,
get a room.

Oh.
For reals.

Okay. Oh, honey.

God, that kid is
a bottomless pit.

You got to break it up
with a little soil...

The roots, and then
you just want to pack it in.

Daddy!

Hey, buddy.
You gardening?

Yeah.

Hello, Crosby.

Hi, Renee.
How are ya?

Good.
Good.

Jabbar, let's go
get some lemonade.

Yeah.
Lemonade.

So, I've thought about it

and I really want Jabbar
to stay with me,

but I can see how
it's probably better
for him here

till I get an apartment
or something, at least.

Thank you.

But I'm worried you...
You're pulling away.

This feels like something
I've done to people.

Are you pulling away
from me?

No, I'm not pulling
away from you.

You sure?
Yeah.

You're really cute.

It's the motorcycle.
Is it?

Yeah, I'm just a six,
but with the motorcycle,
I'm an eight.

I want that. Mmm. Mmm.

So, you told Amy G.'s
mom that Amy P. Was
actually the problem.

I just talked to Amy P.'s mom
and she was, um, not happy.

Give it time.
It'll blow over.

Yeah? Mmm.
Yeah.

And besides, there are three
Amys, right? So, we can
blame it on the other one.

Mmm. What happens
when we run out of Amys?

You will think
of something.

You said that
so seductively.

Clever girl.

Can I come in?
Of course.

Um,

listen, I'm sorry.
I overreacted.

Okay, so, I apologize.

That's okay.
I overreacted, too.
It's okay.

It's really not okay because
things have not been great
at work, as you know,

and I took it out on you.

It's just, I feel all this
pressure at work because
of Gordon, and I just...

If he knew how much
time I spent thinking
about Max and Asperger's

and Kristina, Haddie,
Mom, Dad, you, Jabbar,
Crosby, all of that,

you know, he would
probably fire me.

He's not going
to fire you.

He likes you.
You're indispensable to him.

Did he say
that to you?

Well, he implied it
in 77 minutes.

Yeah, well,
nobody's indispensable.

Not these days.
Not in this economy. So...

Adam, you're too hard
on yourself. Relax.

Don't worry.
You do such a good job.

All right.

So, come on.
You're not really quitting.

So, let's go.

- Yes, I am quitting.
- I don't want to make things harder for you.

Sarah, listen to me.
Okay? Look at me.

I want you there.

Okay?

What? I do. I really do.
I want you there.

You don't really believe that.
You couldn't even
really say it.

I'm working on it.

So, come on.
Will you get dressed,
and let's go to work.

Really?
Yeah. Come on.

This is such a good idea.

You will not regret it,
because I was just
getting started.

I mean, I was just getting
in a groove, you know.

And, um, listen, I won't do
any of the stuff that was
bugging you, okay.

I won't talk about
your personal life.
Oh, okay.

But you're going to have
to take me to work every day
this week,

because the car is
in the shop.

And can we play
some different music?

Hey, that's
Ray LaMontagne, okay.
The man's a genius.

That's what we
listen to in my car.
Okay, he might...

Like can't we have
a little, like, you know,
something snappier?

You know what, get dressed.
Okay, we're late. Come on.

Okay, I'm hurrying.
I'm hurrying.
God.

You're the best!

I gave you the pediatrician's
number, right, Mom?
Yes, you did.

I did?

Okay, buddy,

we're going to
talk every day,
twice a day, okay?

Why can't I come?

You can't come, honey.

You have to stay here with
your grandma and your dad.

Give me a hug.

I love you.

- Last call.
- Now boarding all sections, all rows...

I gotta go. I gotta go.

It's okay.
We'll be fine.
Go shine.

Have fun.

You want to get some waffles
on the way home, or you want
to wait till we get home?

Both.

Hello! I'm home.

Yes!

Davis one for two on the day.

Career is, of course,
9 for 22.

Number 409, he has
Jackson's number.

And he takes a fastball
up and away outside
for ball number one.

And Max's solo.

Hey, Noel.
And Noel's solo.

Want some pasta salad,
maybe?

Oh, you know what?
Your mom said

you had a great
Russian accent.
And cut it off.

- Yeah, yeah.
- Yes, I can.

How come you don't
have to eat your
string beans?

- These?
- I don't want to.

Why doesn't he have
to eat his string beans?

Well, because Noel
is our guest.

Hey.
Hi.

I thought you said
Dad wasn't coming.

Scooch over, would you?

Yeah.
Hi, Adam.

Hi, Adam.
