Original subtitles

(Baby crying)

shh, shh, shh...

ok...ok, Diana.

all right.

let's try...

? hush, little baby,

don't you cry ?

? daddy's gonna buy you

a mockingbird ?

wait a minute.

that doesn't-

bird...curd...

dird...turd...

heard.

? hush, little baby,

haven't you heard? ?

? daddy's gonna buy you

a mockingbird ?

(crying stops)

(Crying)

? and if that mockingbird

don't...mock ?

? daddy's gonna buy you... ?

? an athletic sock ?

(giggles)

(crying stops)

ha ha ha.

that's right.

laugh it up.

it's gonna be your shift

in no time.

the trick...

is to not take your hand away

until she's breathing deep.

(Exhales)

Hope you're

taking notes.

(Sighs)

will you rub my belly

like that?

shh...

I'm sleeping.

come on.

Owen:

morning, Charlie!

time to fish!

(crying)

? Everybody wants to live ?

? like they want to live ?

? and everybody wants to love ?

? like they want to love ?

? and everybody wants to be ?

? closer to free ?

? closer to free ?

Charlie: Joe's flight

doesn't get in until 6:00,

so we should plan

to eat around 7:30.

ok, well, I'll be

sleeping by then,

so I better tell Bailey

to bring dinner...

from the restaurant.

(phone ringing)

guys?

just let us fishermen

take care of the feast

for tonight, all right?

yeah!

fillet o'fish! Yes!

Griffin, could you-

yeah.

hello.

Griffin, it's me.

oh, hey, claud.

how's it going?

uh, is Charlie there?

'cause I really, really

need to talk to Charlie.

yeah, yeah. Sure, sure.

hey, Charlie.

it's Claudia. She seems

like she needs to talk.

ask her

if it's an emergency.

is this an

emergency, claud?

no...it's not

an emergency, exactly.

it's just...

if it's not an emergency,

tell her I'll

get back to her, ok.

'cause we got to go.

let's go, owe.

finally!

you know, he's going

to have to get back

with you, claud.

he's in a big hurry.

so what's going on there,

anything? How's Owen?

and Diana, is she-

is she sleeping at all?

everybody's fine here,

I guess.

are they treating you

ok? How's school?

it's just like, here I am

thousands of miles away from

Diana and Owen

and-Griffin, how am I supposed

to care about chemistry

or some idiotic panty raid

when all I want to do

is call home and...

Charlie doesn't even

have time to talk

when I do call.

well, there's always me,

you know?

you can always call me.

thanks.

Owen:

Charlie.

(Charlie snoring)

Charlie!

Charlie!

huh? What?

you're scaring

the fish!

what?

no, no.

you see, that's

the whole trick of it.

you got to fake 'em out,

give 'em a false sense

of security.

but what if we don't

catch anything?

hey, what kind

of attitude is that?

didn't you hear me

tell Daphne not to cook

dinner for Joe tonight?

we can always go home

if you're bored.

hey, Owen,

I am so not bored.

do you have any idea

how long I've been

looking forward to this?

just me

and my bro? Huh?

afterwards, what

do you say we go, uh...

pick up a few chicks,

get matching tattoos?

yeah, ha ha.

ha ha.

hey! Whoa...

I think you got-

got something there.

no way!

ok, just reel 'er in,

nice and easy.

I got one!

yes, you did.

Charlie, I got one!

all right.

reel 'er in.

yes!

here we go...

whoa!

ha ha ha!

nice!

look at that.

good one!

Julia:

ok, don't kill me.

I'm sorry,

"don't kill you"?

I have to drive

into the city to have

dinner with my family.

my dad's

oldest friend, Joe-

remember me telling you

about him?

ran the restaurant

for a while, right?

thank you

for remembering.

he is flying up from L.A.

to see the baby.

and that's grounds

for homicide because...

hello? Parent weekend.

I'm not going to get

to meet your folks.

oh...right.

well, actually-

unless, you know what?

I can just go up for dessert

and stick around here

long enough-

they're not coming.

I mean, they were gonna

come, but my dad, like,

forgot he was on call

or something.

huh. Ok, well, um...

in that case, have dinner

with me, then.

that kind of blows

my whole reward system.

see, the plan was,

if I nailed down a topic

for this poli-sci paper,

I could veg out

at the movies tonight,

so i-

I bought the ticket.

so what are you saying?

dinner with my family

isn't much of a reward?

(uncomfortable laughter)

uh, not compared to

a John woo retrospective

at the Castro.

(sighs)

oh, ok.

well, we'll hook up

tomorrow, then.

ok. Oh!

actually, I was going

to take advantage

of how empty the library

was gonna be,

and just blast through

this damn paper, so...

can we keep it

kind of loose?

I guess. Sure.

cool.

it's too bad

about your parents.

I was really looking

forward to meeting them.

yeah.

sure, Sarah and I

are coming tonight, daph.

we can't wait to see Joe.

I'll just bring a little

of everything. How's that?

ok, great...Ok.

I'll see you tonight.

bye.

(sighs)

hey! Uh...

tuan.

vinh's cousin, right?

welcome aboard.

that's-that's if you've

got your work visa.

uh, not yet. But you know,

we're hoping that while-

I told you already, vinh.

no way. Not till he's legal.

I.n.s. Will be

all over me. Ok?

bring him back

when he's got his card.

right?

ok, I'm impressed.

Sean Sullivan

just walked in.

the-the restaurant guy?

mm-hmm.

come on.

he's just a guy.

a guy who owns, like,

every hot restaurant

in town...

and he's eating

at salinger's.

Hi.

I'm Bailey salinger.

oh, I was hoping

we'd meet.

Sean Sullivan.

I'm a big fan of your place.

well, thanks.

well, thank you.

the whole San Francisco

restaurant community's

in your debt.

you've opened up this street

for the rest of us.

really?

opened it up how?

well, as a matter of fact,

you got two seconds?

yeah.

see, it's good

you hear this from me.

I'm looking at the old

post office across the street

to open up a new place.

across the street...

from me?

it's under discussion.

oh, I'm sorry.

uh, Bailey salinger,

alix korie.

how do you do,

Mr. salinger.

Ms. korie.

I know your cooking.

but I didn't know you two

were working together.

well, like Sean said,

it's under discussion.

so!

what's for lunch?

Daphne: Wait a sec.

all of these?

you caught

all of these?

Owen: Yep. I caught

Sylvester first,

and then Charlie

caught...

Adolf.

see, he's got

this little mustache

thing working there.

ha ha ha!

you up for

cleaning these, buddy?

aw, can't we just

play with them for

a little while first?

they're already

starting to stink.

actually, I think

that that might be

your daughter.

(sniffs)

oh, yeah,

in a big way.

you want me to-

I thought we were

gonna clean 'em.

it's ok.

I got it.

maybe next time

we could go on one

of those fishing boats,

like on jaws.

we'd go way out,

and there's sharks

and whales and-

Daphne: Charlie,

could you bring me

the wipes?

I think I left them

on the kitchen counter.

got 'em!

one second, Owen.

Ok. Now, this is not

going to be a pretty sight,

but it's got

to be done, so-

Owen, no.

what?

what'd I do?

you said to clean 'em,

so I just-

not like that.

we can't eat 'em now.

that's not how you-

well...how am I

supposed to know that?

And smug! You've never seen

smug like this...

is this ok?

yeah, that's fine.

how many are we?

like I'm supposed to be

happy about it.

like I should be

thanking him

for opening up a place

across the street.

hey, what happened to

all of our serving dishes?

fish?

you brought fish?

can we just eat out

of the containers?

yeah.

Joe's family.

hey!

you better use this.

thank you.

oh, yeah.

I'm telling you,

this kid

is gonna gold medal

in projectile puke.

Charlie, this child

is your mother,

from head to toe.

hey-have you guys

been listening

to a word I was saying?

this is Sean Sullivan

we're talking about.

this guy's got

a track record.

he's gonna have 6 months

of reservations booked

before he even

hangs up a sign.

ok, everybody!

dinner!

I'm not hungry.

up, here we go.

everything's good.

it's uncle Joe.

this way.

Joe:

hey, Griffin!

you're just in time.

good to see you, man.

hey.

all right.

here we go.

I didn't know

you were coming down.

oh, well, uh,

Joe's here and-

yeah. Come on.

have a seat. Let's go.

uh, no-thanks, Joe,

but I probably shouldn't.

what do you mean,

"shouldn't"? Let's eat.

let's go.

oh, uh-oh.

did I say something?

no, that's ok.

look, um, there's plenty.

I mean,

if you want to stay.

yeah.

you can eat mine.

and ned's not here,

if you were wondering.

no, I wasn't.

a lucky boy,

that ned.

do you know how

long it's been

since I've been

to a movie?

yeah. I can't believe

he's a John woo fan.

John woo? You mean

that thing at the Castro?

that's next week.

no, it's not.

it's tonight.

I'm telling you,

it's next week.

some of the guys

at the shop and I,

we got plans.

I got a calendar

out in the shed if you-

that's ok.

wait...did ned

tell you that's where

he was going tonight?

yeah. But he probably

just meant next Friday,

and I misunderstood.

yeah,

that must be it.

um, you guys enjoy dinner.

nice to see you, Joe.

yeah, you, too, Griffin.

take care.

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

I didn't realize-

you know what?

this guy Sullivan's

got me freaking out right now.

he's got me running scared,

and why?

why am I running scared?

so he's got an a-list chef.

so what?

so what? What,

am I going to just roll out

the red carpet for him after

I've been working 16-hour days

and we're booked weekends

through Christmas?

forget it.

forget it.

so what

are you thinking?

new menu? New chef?

probably could stand to

sink a little bit more

into advertising.

man, you guys

think small.

I'm not gonna compete

with this guy.

I'm gonna shut him down.

pass the fish?

thanks.

(knock on door)

hi. Um, you-

no, you know what?

just don't.

'cause that

John woo festival,

that's next Friday.

so either you

don't have a calendar,

or you need to start

telling me the truth,

like now.

woman: Ned?

who is that?

um...

I'd like you to meet

my parents.

oh...is this Julia?

what a treat.

hi.

ned, what's going on?

thought you told us

she was out of town.

he did?

he did. I did.

I, uh...Was.

I'm back now.

oh, it's such

terrible timing.

we're late for

the alumni reception.

as soon as we can

pry Richie out

of the bathroom-

Barbara?

oh.

Richie?

Richie.

ned's brother.

ned's brother Richie.

of course.

Barbara:

Richie...

(sing-song)

we have to go now.

Richie loves

brushing his hair.

unfortunately,

we didn't bring our

attendant with us today.

attendant?

oh, it makes it

easier sometimes,

traveling with

an autistic child.

right.

so, I hope you have

the right directions

this time.

all right, Richie.

let's get your coat on.

uh...i have to go.

Barbara:

oh...

we're so sorry

about this.

but I'm sure

we'll see you again soon.

you kids can talk

and let us know when.

right. Ned and I

should definitely...

talk.

let's go, Richie.

bye.

(Telephone ringing)

hello?

Charlie?

were you sleeping?

I mean, it must be

after 10:00 there.

Diana decided to throw

a party at, like, 2:00 A.M.

she kinda does that.

I'm sorry, Charlie,

but I really-

I need to talk to you.

the thing is, uh...

I don't think it's gonna

work out for me here.

what are you saying, claud,

"not gonna work out"?

we're-we're spending

all this money on the school.

it's like the best school

in the world or something.

I know, Charlie.

I mean, I know that.

it's just, things-

off the phone, salinger.

I have an announcement to make.

(whispering)

oh, one sec.

look, I really-

I really can't talk

about this anymore

right now, but-

but don't even think about

coming home, claud, ok?

just...just give it

a chance, ok?

salinger,

we started.

This is straight

from the headmistress, girls.

due to the irresponsibility

shown in this week's panty raid,

we are clamping down

on after-dinner behavior.

to begin with, the new curfew

is 8 P.M., campus-wide.

but we didn't even

do anything. I mean,

it was the boys.

also, any weekend

off-campus passes are out

till further notice.

and if anyone even thinks

of retaliation,

if the thought even

crosses your mind...

must I go on?

that's all.

those who abuse their freedom

must pay the price of losing it.

but miss shachter,

we didn't do anything.

the boys did!

are we gonna

stand for this?

are we just gonna

take this lying down?

but you heard

what she said

about retaliation.

I mean, sounds like

we'd be thrown out

if we even thought of...

this is so unfair!

don't worry.

salinger has a plan.

don't you, salinger?

Owen:

hey, Charlie.

mighty five's having

a sale on lures.

one day only.

25% off.

can we go?

maybe tomorrow,

buddy.

Charlie!

I just told you.

it's a one-day

sale.

you know, one day?

today?

Owen, the thing is

is that I've got-

Daphne:

time!

(bangs can)

is not!

it is, too!

no, no, no.

my watch says

that I got 6 minutes left

until it's my turn.

ok, so you get

a 6-minute credit-

which, actually,

when you figure in

my 15-minute credit from,

you know, handling

the spit-up on your shift,

that works out to be

a 9-minute credit

in my favor.

and you claim you can't

balance a checkbook.

(Diana fusses)

hey.

what do you say

we introduce your niece

to the wonderful world

of sporting goods stores?

yes!

Hey, Bailey.

hey.

so you finally

made it down here

for lunch on the house?

professional courtesy.

come on.

I'd love to,

but I can't.

I know how good

your food is...

so why would you be looking

for a new chef then, right?

I'm not. I'm very happy

with my kitchen.

oh, yeah?

what if I told you

that alix korie

might be available?

she just won

the bistro award.

I know. I was

on the committee.

did you also know that

she's getting an offer

from Sean Sullivan

to come work for him?

of course, that

doesn't mean the fairport

couldn't outbid him.

the fairport?

why not salinger's?

come on, Abby,

you know I can't

afford alix korie.

could this be you worried

about the new place that

Sullivan's opening?

you wouldn't want

the best chef in town

across from you,

now, would you?

I admit it.

it would be great for me

if you snapped her up

instead of Sullivan.

that doesn't mean

it wouldn't be

great for you.

true.

I will

think about it.

ok, then.

ha ha.

hey, Bailey.

looks like we've

got a new player

in town, huh?

Sean Sullivan isn't new.

I meant you.

Idaho?

where's that?

kinda...up and over.

some of the best

fly fishing in the world.

you know what

I don't get?

how come you

throw 'em back

after you catch 'em?

I mean,

why would you?

hey! Hey, look

what's playing!

oh, the first one was

really, really good.

we can't go see a movie

right now, Owen.

why not?

because we got Diana

with us.

so what?

it's a kids' movie.

I'm sorry, Owen,

but we can't. Ok?

I wouldn't want to sit

next to her anyway.

she's stupid!

hey! Now,

that's enough.

it's not fair.

I never get anything!

hey, I just shelled out

20 bucks for you

for those lures.

I wanna see the movie!

I wanna see the movie!

I wanna see the movie!

that's it, all right?

we're going home.

I wanna see the movie!

I wanna see the movie!

I wanna see the movie!

I wanna see the movie!

from now on, I want you

to go to the farmers market

and check out the produce, ok?

I don't want any melons

you haven't squeezed yourself.

excuse me a second, ok?

hi, Sean.

how are you?

how am I?

I'm always the same,

trying to make my way

in a tough,

dog-eat-dog business.

I'm fine.

thank you for asking.

how about you?

I'm-

how the hell old

are you anyway, Bailey?

what, 25, 26?

I'm 20, actually.

aren't you worried

you're going to get in

a little over your head?

what do you mean?

I know two things:

I know I just lost

alix korie

to your friend

at the fairport.

now I hear that

the antique guild is

bidding against me

for the space

across the street.

are those

your friends, too?

um...well...

are you sure you want to

be playing this, Bailey?

like you said, it gets

kind of dog-eat-dog sometimes.

just a question

of who bites who.

come by anytime.

Great, like my day

wasn't going bad enough.

look...

I know you need

an explanation.

an explanation?

an apology.

I'm sorry.

who are you, ned?

because it's pretty

obvious I don't know

you at all.

I mean it turns out

you're a really

good liar,

which I should have

figured out with how

you dealt with Maggie.

and then-

and here's

a big surprise,

you turn out to be

a guy who's ashamed

of his own brother.

I'm not ashamed

of Richie.

I love my brother.

uh huh, which is why

you really wanted

me to meet him.

it wasn't him I didn't

want you to meet,

it was them, my parents.

it's just-

it's all

screwed up, ok?

the truth is,

I've got this miserable

relationship with them,

and I can't-i mean it's

hard enough for me to be

in the same room with them.

I can't explain it, Julia.

it's, like, you kind of

have to be there,

you kind of have to

see it for yourself.

which you obviously

don't want me to do.

ok, fine. You want

to understand what

I'm dealing with?

you want to see

what it's like,

what they're like.

uh-huh.

have dinner with us.

it'll explain a lot.

Flashlight.

flashlight.

Pudding can.

pudding can.

claud, you're not going

to burn down the dorm

or anything, are you?

no, it's just

a little homemade

smoke bomb.

the alarm will

go off, and the boys

will run outside.

ideally

in their underpants.

that's the spirit.

matches.

oh, duh, I have them.

claud, if you

pull this off,

people are going

to be talking about

you for years.

well, here's

to making history...

or being history.

Let's go.

let's go.

(smoke alarm sounds)

(girls laughing)

shh.

(girls laughing)

(knock on door)

did you brush

your teeth?

yeah...

um, Charlie,

I didn't mean it

about the baby.

you know what, Owen?

it's ok to be mad.

because you're right.

things aren't fair

around here.

I know there's lots

of stuff you need

from me right now.

like for me to

pay attention and for

us to have alone time,

but Diana

needs stuff, too.

and the stuff she needs

is the kind of stuff

you gotta do right away.

like pick her up

and feed her

and change her diaper.

that stuff can't wait.

and the stuff you need,

it kind of can.

that sucks.

that's just the way

it's gotta be for

a little bit.

and you know what else?

I really need your help.

in fact, I need all

the help I can get

because I'm having

a tough time with

all this stuff, too.

I mean, yesterday

I fell asleep at

a stop sign on lake street.

how lame is that?

good thing it wasn't

the Fillmore hill.

good thing.

Hey, you. I didn't

see you come in.

I was using

your printer again...

on account of yours

is still busted?

why don't you get

rid of that thing

and let me buy

you a new one.

sure, sugar-daddy,

you can buy me

anything you want.

hi, how are you?

what can I get you?

Jack. Neat.

we can go by after

lunch if you want.

cool.

all right.

there you are.

so, how was your day?

I'm from the department

of alcohol beverage control.

may I see your I.D.?

uh, yeah. Sure.

may I ask why?

would you come

with me, sir?

I'm sorry-

what is this about?

Mr. salinger,

you're underage,

you're soliciting alcohol,

and if you don't

come with me voluntarily,

I'm going to have to

place you under arrest.

This...sullivan

did this.

the guy was just

asking about my age.

ok, he wants to

play, I'll play.

play?

this isn't a game.

Bailey, you think

it's a game

because you're

acting like a couple

of fifth-graders.

but if you keep this up,

you're going to end up

with a lot

worse than a fine

and liquor violations.

somebody with

your track record-

this could get serious.

you think

I don't know that?

what am I supposed

to do, Sarah?

stop. Now.

go to Sullivan, talk,

and at least pretend

like you're ordinary,

sane human beings

that can discuss this

and compromise

and make peace.

you know? Peace?

Teacher: Enjoy the rest of

your weekend, everybody.

Ms. salinger,

a moment of your time.

I think this

belongs to you.

how did you know

it was me?

oh.

whoops.

indeed.

so, what are you

going to do to me?

do?

yeah, I mean shachter-

I mean miss shachter-

well, she sort of

went nuclear

when she said what

they'd do to someone

if they, like, retaliated,

which I did.

she kind of made

it sound like they

might even kick you out.

expulsion?

for a smoke bomb?

I guess so.

that would be

overdoing it, no?

I mean, smoke bombs,

panty raids,

those are pretty

much what high

school is all about.

I don't think I need

to bring this to

the administration's

attention

provided you

assure me you won't

do it again.

well, I don't know,

Mr. kroop.

I can't exactly-

no, no,

of course I won't.

we were never very

big fans of Maggie.

all that hippie-dippy,

tie-dyed, Berkeley-in-

the-sixties nonsense

drove your father insane.

you know, mom, Maggie

is Julie's roommate.

oh.

well, Julia

didn't choose her.

that's more of

a lottery kind of

thing, right?

well, you sound like

you have your head on

your shoulders, Julia.

I like the way

you're approaching

this 4 years.

college is

about preparation,

not entertainment.

right, well,

that's... one theory.

so, ned tells me

you're a heart surgeon.

father: We come from

a family of doctors.

really?

and I thought that ned

was hoping to continue

that tradition.

dick, please.

well, if what

his academic advisor

told me today is true...

you talked

to Dr. talley?

Dr. talley told me

that ned is doing

very well in his

philosophy class.

which should

really help him in

his career as a...

what? Professional

philosopher?

it's my first semester.

I'm dabbling in philosophy.

dabbling in philosophy,

but failing bio.

I am not failing bio.

you're pulling a "c."

you think any medical

school in this country

is going to look

at that and say,

"oh, well, look at least

he took philosophy seminars

and a photography class."

you have got to think

about this stuff, ned.

you've got to stand

on your record.

dick-

Barbara, it's true.

if he wants something,

he has to make it happen.

unless what I thought

you wanted is just not

what you really want.

I don't know, dad.

maybe I'm just not

as smart as you.

I never said that.

look, I'm just

trying to help.

where is that waiter?

hi, would you

tell Mr. Sullivan

that Bailey salinger

is here to speak

with him, please.

and, miss?

in case he doesn't

want to see me,

would you tell him that

I'm here to

bury the hatchet.

or I guess I can

tell him myself, thanks.

Tuan?

Um, you know what?

forget it,

I'll call him.

(Baby crying)

your turn.

your turn.

your turn!

your turn!

it's your shift.

no, it's not.

we're doing that no man's

shift experiment thing,

and I just burped her.

what are

you talking about-

no man's shift?

I'm on for 4 hours,

then you're on for 4 hours,

and then we sort of overlap

and "go with the flow"

thing for 4 hours.

you don't remember

talking about this

last night?

(baby stops crying)

the baby!

the baby!

Charlie: Owen!

Daphne:

how'd you-?

shh.

I put her

to sleep.

you sure did,

buddy.

Daphne: I'm going to

put her down upstairs,

and then I'm

coming back,

and you're going to

tell me your secret, ok?

ok.

that was helping, huh?

are you kidding?

big time.

so, now can

we play hearts?

what?

oh, Owen, gee i-

sure. Sure we can.

you know, last time

I played with Kirsten,

she taught me how

to shoot the moon,

but I forgot.

Charlie.

ned: That wasn't

even a particularly

good performance.

I give him

a "b-" at best.

I guess...I guess

he had all these

expectations for his kids.

and then Richie came,

and dad will be lucky

if Richie will move

out of the house

or if he can get on

a bus by himself.

so...

world-famous heart

surgeon is kind of

out of the question.

so it all

comes down to me.

I'm his only hope.

ned...

but I figured out

a way to deal with

all the pressure.

now I actually

look for things

to disappoint him.

Maggie-

Maggie used to

drive him crazy.

when she came to

Stanford with me,

I thought he was

going to have a stroke.

I swear to god, I stayed

with her for two years

just hoping that

he would give up

on me altogether.

ned, that's-

I don't get it.

you got into Stanford.

he came to Stanford.

how are you-

that's right.

see, he came to Stanford

and graduated summa.

he's got it all

in his head.

he can see me up there

with my cap and gown

just like him.

I've got him

so close he can

practically taste it.

but the problem

for him is

I'm not going to

graduate summa.

I'm probably not even

going to graduate at all.

wow, that's, um...

that's horrible.

so, you do that,

and then what?

what do you get

out of that?

I get to cheat

my father out of

the thing he wants the most.

wouldn't it be simpler

just to tell him you

need him to love you?

yeah, right.

in my family,

you need to be autistic

to get that.

There you are.

I was looking

for you.

look, um, I'm sorry

I conked out on you

last night.

whenever I get

horizontal these days,

it seems like I...

hey, whatever.

what ya poking

at there?

ant colony.

yeah? Cool.

yeah, if you smash

them really hard,

they go crazy.

then they run around

picking up their dead

for, like, hours.

the exploratorium

has that whole

thing on ants.

and Daphne's got

Diana this afternoon,

so what do you

say you and me

head down there?

it's ok.

come on,

it'll be great.

last time we closed

the place, remember?

don't you have

other stuff to do?

no, I don't.

sure you do.

you always have

other stuff to do.

Barbara: Julia?

it is Julia.

and you said

I need glasses.

that's not

what I said-

I didn't say that.

Julia: Hi.

we're going

home now.

oh, you are?

yeah, hoping to beat

the weekend traffic.

really, well,

it was really nice

to meet you.

you, too, Richie.

we're going home.

Julia, promise

you'll visit

over the holidays.

we always do

a huge tree.

Richie loves

all the rituals.

you hear that,

kiddo.

we're going to

roll out the welcome

mat for this one.

well, you guys

better hit the road.

it was a pleasure

to meet you.

I mean that.

thank you very much.

can I just say...

we're so glad

he met you.

drive safely.

Bailey: To Sullivan,

the late and great.

nice how you

don't gloat.

hey, Bailey.

hey, Joe.

I was on my way

to the airport.

I wanted to

say good-bye.

so, what's

the occasion?

the United States

refused to lease Sullivan

the post office

across the street,

on account of

his I.N.S. Problems.

the whole thing's over.

the restaurant's

not happening,

and we own this street.

there you go.

wait, you got to

hear about this.

no, I've heard

enough, thank you.

Charlie filled

me in on how you

phoned immigration,

blew the whistle

on your playmate.

did it work or what?

Sammy salinger steps

up to the plate,

fastball low

and inside...

this traffic's

going to be a bear.

well, is that all

you're going to say?

what do you want,

an "atta boy"?

look...

first off, this I.N.S.

call that you are

so proud of making.

did you ever consider

how many people you

are putting out of work?

you're talking about

illegal workers.

people, Bailey.

Joe, if I hired illegals,

you'd be on me like that.

you're damn straight.

so, I can't do it,

but this guy can?

I don't know him.

you, I know.

or I thought I did.

I mean, the way you're

going to war against

this Sullivan guy...

I was protecting

the restaurant,

the family.

all I know is that

your father and I never

did business this way.

all we wanted was

to run a neighborhood

joint, that's all.

we played it straight.

wait a second,

don't say that what

I did wasn't straight.

it was competitive,

aggressive, yes,

but legal all the way.

ok, I got a plane

to catch.

I'm not my father, Joe.

ok...

I don't run salinger's

the way he did,

but I'm me.

and the way that I do it...

maybe it's better,

and maybe it isn't,

but it's the way

that I do it.

and take a look around.

it feels ok.

It feels good.

(Telephone rings)

hello.

Griffin, it's me.

Claudia?

it's almost 1:00

where you are.

are you ok?

I don't know,

I just couldn't sleep.

what's wrong?

everything.

what happened?

I can't be here,

Griffin.

I look around,

and it's like

I'm not here.

it's like it's

not me that's here.

I tried talking to Charlie,

but he won't even listen.

he just wants you

to do your best

to make it work.

how can I, Griffin?

I can't think.

I can't study.

and all I can

think about...

all I care about...

is home.

my parents had 5 kids.

are you just

realizing that now?

no, I mean...

5.

think about that...

5.

how did they

manage that?

they had sex a lot?

they always had

time for us...

for all of us.

I don't think any of us

ever felt shortchanged.

I mean, look at me,

I was an only child

for 9 years.

and then bam,

I'm sharing a bathroom

with 3 other kids.

(sighs)

did you see him

at dinner tonight?

he wouldn't even

look at me.

afterwards, he went

straight up to bed.

no ice cream,

no TV, nothing.

man, he's so mad at me.

ok, so go in there

and talk to him,

I should.

I know I should.

but that would

require getting up.

and the thing is...

as long as he's not

tugging on my sleeve,

as long as he doesn't

want to do stuff with me,

as long as he's mad at me,

I can sleep, daph.

I can sleep.

you know what

I'm saying?

(laughs)

ok, I'll see you.

I need my blue

sweater and my

multivitamins back.

what? Right

this second?

well, I don't know

how you're going

to do this,

and I just don't

want to get them

lost in the shuffle.

what are you

talking about?

they like me, ned.

your parents, they

like me a lot.

and I know how

awful that must

be for you,

how much it must

hurt to do something

that makes

them and you happy

simultaneously.

I mean, how great

would it be to go back

to them and say,

"hey, you know that

girl you really liked?

well, guess what?

I dumped her."

so, let's just get

this over with now, ok.

let me have it.

what? You want me

to break up with yo?

I'm not going to

do that, Julia.

why not?

it makes about as

much sense as all

the rest of this.

I mean,

come on, ned.

explain to me

the point of throwing

everything away

just to get back at your

parents for having high

expectations of you.

because that's

the plan here, right?

and all because

they haven't figured

out the exact right way

to balance a situation

that is so incredibly

difficult and sad and

unfair for everybody.

not just you.

you know what, ned?

you're an angry guy.

I'm not angry at you.

well, that's not

much of a consolation

if the plan is

to wreck your life

when I happen to be

a part of it.

oh, god.

you're going to

try to save me now,

aren't you?

honestly, I don't know

if you're worth saving.

Don't give up

on me, Julia...

please.
