Hurry up!
Everyone's on!

Why can't I hear them?

You have it on mute.

Oh, yeah! Oops.

- Hey, guys!
- Hi!

- Hi!
- Hey, guys!

Hi!

Hi! Sorry,
technical difficulties.

- Yes, I have a question.
- How much does it cost?

One at a time.
We can't hear you.

I've got some college money
saved up.

- It's not that simple.
- Excuse me.

Where do we even start?

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

Yes. You, sir.

I don't have any money,

but if you make my mom
and daddy love each other,

I'll give you this.

Aw!

That's very sweet of you,

but we're not here to take
your money or your teddy bear.

We're here to create a
safe place to share stories

and support one another.

Oh, okay, I get it now.

Will you tell us
your story?

Oh, yeah,
that's a great idea.

Okay, but it's a really,
really long story.

Looks like
we have some time.

Uncle Paul's
still sleeping.

So, where should we start?

Ooh, ooh! Remember Dad
in that funny robe?

No.

We should start when
we were behind the bushes.

Guys, the story's not about
all the crazy things we did.

But it was really fun stuff.

Yeah.

Our story's about
faith, hope and love

and how adults need to
be reminded what they had

and what's still there.

Let's go back, way back.

It was 1998.

Wait, wait. Didn't
they have color TVs back then?

Oh, yeah. You're right.

Not that far back.

Let me know
if you need anything, okay?

Dad was working
his usual shift

at the local Italian restaurant.

He was the best waiter.

He knew everybody's name.

It was just another
Friday night until he met her.

Oh!

Hey.

For the first time in his
life, he was speechless.

- Sorry.
- Yeah.

My bad.

And that's
unusual for Dad.

Can I talk to you for a second?
Yeah. Sorry.

Can I take this table?

- Yeah.
- Okay, thank you.

Hey, ladies. Welcome
to Tony's Bella Vista.

My name is Brent, and I
will be taking care of you.

Mom said she had a
little crush on Dad right away.

I mean I'll be serving you.

He was pretty funny too.

Here, do you know
what you'd like to order?

They both knew something
special was happening that night.

Bye.

Mom could feel it.

I'm pretty sure that's
why she stuck around

for a little while.

Uh, save me a bite?

Yeah? Okay, cool.

They talked
and laughed all night.

Mom had a smile
that could light up a room.

Dad even got a little
mushy and drew a picture for her.

It truly was
love at first sight.

They got married
right away.

Bought a new house.

And we started
showing up one by one.

Yeah, that's me in the belly.

That's me as a baby.

Aren't I so cute?

They were so happy.

We were so happy.

But time changes everything.

Izzy!
Go get the bread.

Oh, my gosh!

Are you guys done yet?

Do you have the drinks?
Or the napkins?

We got this, sis.

What am I forgetting?
Oh, yeah! Sauce.

So pretty!

It's all
in the details.

Wait, you gotta
get the waters.

We have to hurry.
Mom's gonna be here any minute.

Is Dad gonna show
this time?

Yes.

- I hope this works out.
- Stop worrying.

It will.

Izzy! You got sauce
all over the plates!

Oh, brother!
It doesn't have to be perfect.

Said it once,
I've said it a million times.

- It's all in the...
- Details.

Aw.
It's perfect, Ruby.

They'll love it.

Mom's here.
Andrew, did you set up the monitor?

I forgot.

Daddy!

Ruby, go stand
by the door,

but don't let Dad in
until I tell you to.

Andrew, move it!
We need some serious intel tonight.

Right on it.

Wow.
What smells so good?

- Hi, Mom.
- Hey!

- You're here early.
- You cooked dinner?

Yes. I threw together
my famous lasagna.

You are so amazing,
sweetheart.

Oh, you take
such good care of us.

It's the least
I could do.

I know that you have
a lot on your mind.

I wonder
who that can be.

I'll go get it.

Okay.

Okay! Open the door.

- Hi, Daddy!
- Hey.

Surprise!

What?

What?

Yeah, what? Uh, what
are you guys up to?

We thought it'd be nice for all
of us to have dinner together.

Like a family.

Well,
that would be up to your mom.

Yes, of course.
I mean, we're still a family.

Great! Let's eat.

Izzy, great job
with dinner.

Thanks, Dad.
You want more?

No. No, I'm full.
Thank you, sweetheart.

When's your first
baseball game?

Don't know.
Thinking about quitting the team.

That's a pretty rose.

Ruby did that.

Details, Mom.

I remember when your father
remembered those details.

Who wants dessert?

- I do!
- I do!

Who has dessert
on the porch?

It was an awkward moment.
I just panicked.

Come on, guys.
Listen to the monitor.

Shh, listen.

The kids seem all right.

Seriously?

Can't you see how hard
this has been on them?

Look at all this trouble
that they went to

just for us to have
a family dinner together.

Yeah, and we just had a very
nice family dinner together.

What did he say?

Shh, shh, shh.
I can't hear.

Nothing seemed odd.

It didn't seem odd?

Are you kidding?

They've just been acting
so strange lately.

I just think that they know.

Yeah, of course
they know.

What?
Did you say something?

What do we know?

This isn't going well.

Brent?

No. What?

Did you say something
to the kids about us?

No! Of course not.

I don't know where your head is right
now, but you're definitely not present.

I'm sorry.

It's... It's the office.
I gotta get back to my place.

You know what? We agreed that no
matter what happens with our marriage,

we would keep
this family together.

Sarah, I know that,
and I'm sorry. Okay?

Chelsea called an emergency
meeting for tomorrow,

and there's a lot riding
on this Allied deal.

You promised the kids that you would
take them to the movie tomorrow.

I know that.

And I'll do my best
to get here by noon.

Do you even know
what your best is?

Nice.

What do we know?
What don't we know?

We know in one week, Mom and Dad
will have been separated for a year.

Maybe they are
getting a divorce.

Andrew, stop!

We don't know that for sure.

Let's just have faith,
and everything will work out.

Mommies and daddies
should stay together.

Yeah.

We've got
nothing to worry about.

Come on, guys. How many times
do we have to go over this?

It's obvious.

We've had radio silence from
Allied for the past two weeks,

which can only mean one thing.

Calloway?

Um, it's not good?

Wrong answer!

It means someone else
is courting Harlan.

I need you to find out who is
trying to steal this deal from us!

Right.
Right, right, right.

Find out who's
the other company. Okay.

All right, let's go.
I'm going to take you to the movies.

But I thought Dad
was taking us.

Come on! Let's go.
You're gonna miss the previews.

Right, right.

Find out who's
the other company.

I'm on it.
We're on it.

Brent's on it.
Right, Brent?

On it. Yes.

Would you like a more
quiet place to text, Lambert?

Oh. Yeah, sorry
about that, Chelsea.

We're about to lose
$13 million in commission.

Sorry just
isn't good enough.

Find out who is playing in
our sandbox and squash them.

Absolutely.
We will get it done.

I mean, what's up with all the texts, man?
You was leaving me hanging here.

- Come on, guy.
- I'm sorry about that, Cal. It's Sarah.

I think we're done.

I'm sorry, man.

You guys been separated
for, what, like a year?

Yep.

It's kind of
a long time, man.

Can't say you didn't try.
You tried, right?

I think so.

My turn!

Ooh!

- Ooh!
- Nice!

Sorry about today.

Yeah, I know.

It's always something.

So, we go to court
in a couple of days?

Yeah.

I guess this is it,
then.

I guess.

I didn't want this.

I don't think you know
what you want, Brent.

Oh, okay, all right.
I get it.

It's all my fault.
I own it.

That's not what I said. It's just your
priorities aren't in order, that's for sure.

Maybe we should just do
what I came here to do.

Okay, you go.

- Oh!
- Oh!

Oh, my God!

Can you stop playing
for a second?

Your mom and I have something that we...
we need to tell you.

Sometimes,
for parents to...

Be better parents...

- they need to...
- Get a divorce.

Andrew.

Isn't that what
you're about to say?

Yes.

But we want you to know

that we are still gonna
be a family, okay?

Yeah, and that we
love you very much.

And we love you too.

But your divorce
has a direct impact

on our personal
and emotional well-being,

so we can't allow this
to happen.

We'll discuss our next course
of action and get back to you.

Thank you.

What she said.

Ditto.

What do you mean,
"We'll discuss our next course of action"?

I mean, we're not gonna
let this happen.

Oh, boy. You got that
crazy look in your eye.

What are we gonna do?

Look, I still believe Mom
and Dad love each other.

So, we need to take matters
into our own hands.

And I know the perfect
person who can help.

Come on, let's go!

- I think it's this way.
- Yeah.

- Remember to look for cars!
- Yeah.

Guys, wait up!

Come on, Ruby.

It's so far up the hill.

Come on, guys!

Cross your fingers.

Hi, Uncle Paul!

Oh. Hey, guys!

Whoa.
What happened to you?

Oh, it was nothing.

I was just cutting a tree down
the other day, and I fell.

Down that hill?

Yeah. Yeah,
down that hill.

But it's okay.
I landed on my feet.

Ow!

Looks like he landed
on his face.

Oh!

You know, Uncle Paul,
maybe you need help around here.

No.

It's nothing a little ice
won't take care of.

- Maybe you should sit down for a minute.
- Oh!

Ruby, go get an ice pack
for Uncle Paul.

- Good idea.
- Come on.

Okay. Let's go.
All right.

Ooh. Ah.

Ow.

Okay, whew.

Look, I know you guys didn't
come all the way over here

to take care
of this old fella,

so I can tell something's
bothering you.

Well, it's kind
of a long story.

Our parents are getting a
divorce, and we need your help.

Well, that pretty much
sums it up.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that, guys.
Really, I am.

Look, I know you're a little
young to understand this,

but relationships
are complicated.

Your parents have been
dealing with this for a while,

and there's only
so much I can do.

They need to be willing
to do the work.

Clearly they're not
working hard enough.

Well.

Here you go!

Oh.

Goodness.

Let's move this down to my feet,
and I got something for you.

Uncle Paul, focus.
We need serious help.

Well, patience, child.
Okay.

Can we pray or something?
Isn't that what pastors do?

I can pray, you can pray,
and your parents can pray.

Okay, which one?
That one for you, and that for you.

And so what we're gonna do,

take this string,
and you're gonna hold it really tight.

Hold it tight,
hold it tight.

And you're going to pull
and just like that.

Not very strong.
Right?

And then we go to
the purple one.

Watch the purple one.
Watch.

There's a little string
right here,

and you're gonna hold this
really tight.

Yep, yep. Really tight.
So beautiful.

Oh, my goodness.
Look.

And then we're gonna twist it
together with this green one,

and you're gonna
hold it tight,

and look, it's a little stronger.
Pull, pull, pull.

You can't get it.

Oh, my goodness, that was strong.
Wasn't it?

But it still
comes undone.

And now, let's go
to the gold one.

And when we take
three strings,

we're gonna twist
that together,

and it all of a sudden
becomes a lot stronger.

And so that's what happens
when you put God

in the center
of a marriage.

It becomes
that much stronger.

That's what'll happen
if our parents pray?

It's a start.

But they're going to court
in two days.

Listen, I think what your
parents need is time.

And I've got a buddy
that owes me a favor,

and I think that he can
help give your parents

the time
that they need.

Is this person
a pastor like you?

Well, not exactly.

Hi!

I'm Donovan Marshall.

Call me now!

There's a new marshal in town,
and he's collecting.

Don't be shortchanged!

Pew!

You have outdone yourself.

Seriously,
this is a game changer!

I love the line,
"There's a new marshal in town!"

Pew, pew, pew!

Yeah. Yeah!

Yeah, put it all over
social media.

We can't afford that!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Uh, you know, Facebook,
Tweeter, Instacart.

Instagram!

He knows what
I'm talking about!

You know what I'm
talking about, right?

Okay, great!

This is awesome.
Seriously.

Move over, Spielberg.

All right.
Talk to you later.

Come on!
This is the place.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

I'm so excited,
but I hope everything goes well.

Come on.

Come on, Ruby.

We can't afford
those commercials.

We can't even afford
this office.

We were perfectly fine
in my father's garage.

You're not thinking
big enough.

This is gonna get
my name out there.

They're gonna come knocking at my door!

Wow. That was fast.

♪ There's a new marshal
In town ♪

♪ Collecting for you ♪

Mark my word!

You're gonna
be broke so soon,

and we will be back
in my padre's casa!

Shh!

Hi!

Are you
Donovan Marshall?

- Yes!
- Great!

A good friend
sent us.

Wait. Oh, boy.

Aw!

You guys are so cute!
Aw!

Can I get you
anything to drink?

- Yes, please!
- Oh, well, that's not necessary.

They're not staying
very much longer.

Professional.
What are you doing?

Okay, kids.

I'm afraid I don't have
any lollipops.

We're not here
for candy.

We need a lawyer.

Look, I'm a personal
injury attorney.

I work with people who've actually
been injured somehow, so...

But we have been injured!
And hurt!

Yes! Now we're talking.

I mean,
how unfortunate.

Our parents
are getting a divorce.

It's gonna mess
everything up.

It hurts our feelings.

I'm not following here.
Sorry.

- You're a lawyer, right?
- Yes.

We want you to sue them
or something.

Make it so they
can't get a divorce,

or at least
not right away.

They need time.

Time for what?

For our parents
to figure it out.

So they can start praying
for each other.

Oh! You want me to intervene
in an ongoing court proceedings

and file an injunction, thus
delaying your parents' divorce.

Yes! Can you do it?

Not a chance.

But why?

One, I don't do divorces.

Two, what you're asking
will probably get me disbarred.

And three,
most important,

no one in this scenario
has any money.

- No! No, please.
- Really, no, please.

- No.
- My watch is worth a pretty penny.

No, it's not, really.

- Out. Let's go, let's go.
- Thanks for nothing!

- Come on, Ruby.
- Ooh, okay!

And thank you too!
All right.

Ah, that's a feisty
little one.

- Oh, excuse me.
- Mm-mmm.

- All right. I gotta...
- Mm-mmm. Mm-mmm.

- What are you doing?
- You owe our friend a visit.

Go. Just go.

Go, go, go.

- Do I have to?
- Yes, you do.

Go.

This will be good for you!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That was a neat trick
you pulled today.

Hey, Donovan,
old buddy, old pal.

Long time, no see.

Don't "old buddy, old pal"
me, okay?

You're meddling again,
and I'm not biting.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

You know exactly
what I'm talking about.

You know, you can use zip
ties to hang this, right?

I think duct tape
works just the same.

Clearly.

Look, this is a chance for
you to help the helpless.

I mean, don't you already
say that in your commercials?

Yeah, I already
do that. Okay?

"I've collected millions
on their behalf."

I bet you have.

I know.

This is different.

Well, you met the kids.

You see how the idea
of divorce affects them.

You're still trying
to save the world.

Nah, just my family.

So what do you need me for?

If you want to help them,
why don't you just help them?

It's not that easy.

My sister is not so inclined to
get help from her big brother.

Look, come on.
Help an old buddy, old pal out.

Paul, have you ever
heard of no fault?

I mean, courts can't force
people to stay married.

Yeah, no fault is
unilateral divorce.

It's when one spouse acting alone
forces the other into a divorce.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right. No promises.

I'll look into it.

This'll be good for you.

Why does everyone
keep saying that?

Uh, Paul, do you need
any help here?

No, I got it.
It's not my first rodeo.

Okeydoke.

I'm gonna
remind you again.

You're entitled to considerably
much more than you're asking for.

Well, I just thought it was fair
for the both of us.

Fair?

If fair's all you want,
then why did you hire me?

Who has Mr. Lambert
retained?

Well, I think my husband...

Okay. Right there.

Don't think of him
as your husband ever again.

From this day forward,
he is the defendant.

Okay.

I think Brent,
the defendant,

hired an old college friend,
Hayden Grimes.

He was actually best man
at our wedding.

Grimes?

That guy is...

Evil.

Claire Hudgens.

That woman
is black-hearted.

I don't know what you did to
Sarah, but if she hired Claire,

it must have been
pretty bad.

Grimes.
It's not like that at all.

I mean, I think Sarah knows her
from a book club or something.

Women getting together and talking, it's bad news.

It's bad news for men.

You are funny, man.
It's not like that.

It's Sarah!

We're, we're great.
It's fine.

I'm not overreacting.

Listen, buddy, I've been
doing this a long time,

and I am telling you
as a friend,

you are gonna have
to toughen up,

or she's gonna
eat you alive.

- You know why divorces are so expensive?
- No.

Because they're worth it.

- Huh?
- Okay.

Come on, bring it in!

- All right.
- Don't forget the check.

Okay.
What a friend!

So what's gonna happen?

Two houses,
two bedrooms,

two sets of clothes.

One here,
and one with Dad.

I can't sleep.

It's okay.
None of us can.

It's going to be fine.

Everyone gets divorced
these days.

- Bianca!
- What?

Bianca!

What?

Got the most amazing idea.

- You're getting us a coffeemaker?
- No, I'm good.

How much money do you think I
spend on my television commercials?

- Mmm...
- Exactly! A ton.

- But where's it get me?
- Actually...

Exactly. Nowhere.

I'm sorry, I got lost
in "amazing idea."

Could you imagine the free publicity
I'll get representing these kids?

Call the newspapers.
Call the radio station!

I think you're missing
the bigger picture here.

You're right.

Forget about the newspapers.
Call the television stations!

What about the clients?

- Who?
- The children.

Yeah. Call them too.

If Dale eats one half
of a cookie,

and Billy eats another
half of a cookie,

how many cookies
are left?

Easy! Two cookies.

Uh, it's one cookie.

Two halves
make one whole.

No, but it's not a real cookie,
so it would just fall apart.

You make a good point.

Guys, you're not
gonna believe this.

Mr. Marshall's
taking our case!

- What does that mean?
- We have a lawyer!

Yeah!

What do we do now?

I guess we just leave it
up to Mr. Marshall.

Hey. Find anything yet?

Yeah, I just found an article
on precision agriculture,

and it mentions
Allied has patents

for some of the top AG
automation technologies.

You're brilliant, my friend.

Huh? What is this?

"AG Tech Expo & Conference,
featuring Chelsea Dwyer

on the panel
of Feeding the World...

an event series
focused on technologies

transforming
the global food system."

Tech influencer?

What does that even mean?
I mean, this doesn't make any sense.

She doesn't even know
how to use a printer.

She's a IT Mother Teresa.

- What?
- Yeah.

What are you talking about?

Do you really think that Chelsea's
the head of some charity?

Yeah. Do you know she feeds
the homeless every weekend?

She has a popular blog,
"Vegan Tech Talk."

- What?
- Yeah. Really.

Cal, are you stalking
our boss?

I'm just saying.

Oh, no.

I have to go, Cal.

Listen, I hate
doing this to you,

but there's something
not right here.

You mind digging
a little deeper for me?

- Yeah. No problem, Brent.
- Okay.

- Saving jobs, saving lives.
- All right.

- Hey.
- Go away.

Are you going
somewhere, Lambert?

Um, I am.

It's, um...
It's personal.

But I got some good news.
I think we may have found something.

I believe that the company may be an American tech company.

- $13 million, Brent.
- Yes, I know.

It's... It's my family.

We're your family, Brent.

An extended family
of 200 employees.

Not to mention the shareholders
who are gonna want to blame someone

if this thing goes sour.

Whatever that is, handle it and
get your head back in the game.

Yes, ma'am.
I'm going to be back later.

I'm into it 100%. All right?
Whatever it takes.

We may have a problem.

I know, I know. I'm late.

Sorry, sorry.

Wow. Late for your own divorce hearing.
That is one for the books.

Oh, it's my boss.
She's very demanding.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Your boss is a woman?

- Yeah.
- Ah. Say no more.

Is he always this late? I mean, this could
be an issue with alimony and child support.

Well, he's usually on time,
but lately, I don't know.

You're still
making excuses for him.

Let me tell you
something about men.

Women are process-oriented.

It's not about the destination.
It's about the journey.

Men are goal-oriented.

For them, it's about completing the
task, checking it off

and moving on
to the next thing.

That's why they change
so much during marriage.

You were once a goal, and
now, you've been checked off.

All we want is to be done,
to be finished,

to have all the work
behind us.

But you're never done
with a woman.

She resets at midnight.
You begin each day at zero, my friend.

They're
complacent and lazy.

They need us to tell them
what time to come home,

whether their clothes match or
not, or if they like broccoli.

No matter
how great a sacrifice,

or what a wonderful husband you've
been over the last 20 years,

none of that matters now.

You may think you have
points from the past,

but you would be a fool to
think you've accumulated any.

All rise!

The honorable Judge
Heavener presiding.

Sit down.

Both of you,
front and center.

I thought I made it clear when I said I never
wanted to see the both of you together

in my courtroom again.

Yes, Judge.

Imagine my shock
when I discovered

that Ms. Hudgens here had agreed
to represent the plaintiff,

- knowing very well...
- Your Honor.

Mrs. Lambert... Sarah and I
are longtime acquaintances,

and I can assure you that she retained
my services long before Mr. Grimes.

I was Brent's best man.
Give me a break!

Unless the defendant
is capable of precognition.

Enough!

One outburst,
one childish display,

and I will find you both
in contempt.

Now, sit down.

- In the matter of the marriage of Brent A. Lambert...
- What's all that about?

...and Sarah C. Lambert,

we come to the preliminary
hearing before the state court.

Are the parties and their
attorneys prepared to proceed?

- Yes, Judge.
- Yes, Your Honor.

Then by all means,
please do.

Your Honor, this is a case
of a stay-at-home mom

requesting the right
to continue to do so.

- The defendant...
- I object!

You can't object to
an opening statement.

I object to your tone.

My tone is no more on trial

than your mismatched
shirt and tie.

- So arrogant.
- Quiet!

- You so drive me crazy!
- I'm arrogant?

I will have order!

Now, we are going
to proceed

in an orderly
and professional manner

as befits the respectful nature
of what we're doing.

Your honor, my name
is Donovan Marshall,

and I represent the children
of the litigants.

I request permission
to be able to represent

and sit in
on these hearings.

- My kids hired an attorney?
- It's unlikely.

It's clearly a tactic employed
by opposing counsel.

I don't understand.
What do the kids have to do with this?

Nothing. Children have no adversary
interest in a divorce action.

This is an obvious ploy
to derail our proceedings.

Would someone care to tell me
what's going on here?

Your Honor, as unlikely
as it may seem,

I can hardly agree that
the children have no interest.

Why, half this petition
concerns itself

with custody, visitation,
child support and schooling.

And as such, I believe
children are entitled

to representation.

I've seen your commercials.

- I know who you are.
- Yes, Judge.

I don't like you.

It's understandable.

And I won't let you join
Moe and Curly over here

and turn my courtroom
into a three-ring circus.

Noted.

Your Honor, it may
please you to know

that I plan to navigate
the litigants

out of your courtroom
and into family mediation.

- Mediation?
- Yes.

You mean to say,
if I let you sit in today,

that the three of you
will just disappear?

Well, that's the plan.

Okay.

This court will consider you
the guardian ad litem

for the children of
Brent and Sarah Lambert.

And as such,
you will be permitted

to participate
in these proceedings.

But let me remind you,
counsel,

this courtroom is no place
for cheap Hollywood theatrics.

Well,
of course, Your Honor.

I have nothing but respect

for the sanctity
of this courtroom

and the judiciary process.

Is it true you're
championing marriages

by representing children
in divorce cases?

Well,
you see, I collect...

I fight for those who
cannot defend themselves.

Are you embarking on
a crusade to preserve families?

Well, I...

Anything yet?

No, maybe I'll
just text Bianca. Hi!

Your mother and I
would like an explanation.

We're not supposed
to discuss the case.

That's not gonna cut it,
Izzy.

Sit down.

Your dad and I understand that
you are having some difficulties

with what we're
going through.

But what you guys did today,
that's not the way you handle it.

What do you mean?

- What do I mean?
- By hiring a lawyer!

And going to court.

That's not how families
deal with their problems.

Isn't that what
you two are doing?

Look, I didn't
want to get a divorce.

- But your mother says that she's unhappy.
- What?

- No, you're gonna blame me for this?
- No, no.

You're not gonna take any
responsibility for this relationship?

- I'm not blaming you. I'm just stating a fact.
- But you just did.

You can't just say that
in front of our kids

- and say that I'm the one that wanted a divorce.
- I'm not blaming you.

- Yes, you...
- You said to me that you are unhappy.

But we live
like roommates.

- That's why we're getting...
- But did you or did you not tell me...

Excuse me!

We're still in the room!

I'm sorry.

That was wrong of us.

I'm sorry.

Look, you guys are just
gonna have to trust us

to make
the right decisions.

Always remember,
we are on your side.

"Remember we're on your side"?
What does that even mean?

Who put my socks
in the underwear drawer?

Guys!

Mr. Marshall said Mom and Dad
are going to do mediation.

Meditation?

No, mediation.

It just means they can't
get a divorce for now.

Holy macaroni.

- Then we did it!
- We did it!

- Yay!
- Yay!

Well, welcome back to
Good Morning Carla.

We have Mr. Donovan
Marshall with us,

and you've had quite
a busy morning, haven't you?

I certainly have,
Meredith.

- You know what...
- Uh. Carla.

But what would you say
to your detractors

who claim that what you're
doing is nothing more

than a self-serving
publicity stunt?

You know what, Meredith? Petty as it may
be, jealousy is rampant in my profession.

Let me tell ya.

Although it is,
and I understand that.

I mean, what you do
I could never do,

uh, but this is
a no-fault state,

and children can't legally
stop their parents

from divorcing.

What do you have
to say about that?

Well, you know
I cannot discuss the details

of my ongoing case, Savannah,
but what I can say is this,

the children... the children
are my main priority.

Well, thank you, Mr. Marshall.
That's great.

We'll be right back
with Good Morning Carla.

Yes! New marshal in town!

Did I wear
the right tie?

Good morning.
Hold a second, please.

The phone has been
ringing all morning.

- That's awesome!
- No, it's not.

Because half the people calling
still drink out of juice boxes.

- Do you see that?
- Hmm?

Someone left that.

It had a note that said,
"There's more where that came from."

My little buddy!

This is serious.
You're not listening to me, Mr. Marshall.

It's not about kids.
Their parents are calling too.

Hmm.

They're accusing you of giving
their children false hope.

Actually, the bar is considering to review your practice.

- Ooh.
- You don't even have a plan.

Oh, Bianca,
of course I have a plan.

It's already in motion.

This case will go away.

They'll figure it all out
in mediation.

There's a new marshal in town,
and he just saved the day.

Pew, pew, pew,
pew, pew!

Ha! We're gonna be rich.

- That's the saddest thing I've ever heard.
- Sad's good.

There's money in sad too.

We don't want
to be disturbed.

Trust me,
I've got this covered.

Ah. Speak of the devil. Got to go.

Sit down.

I'm sorry
about this morning.

I'm going through
some personal business.

Your personal business
is all over the news.

It's not good for us,
Brent,

especially now that things
are so fragile.

It makes us look unstable.

- Like we might not be up to the task.
- Well, that was...

That was unintentional.
My, my kids have...

Your private life
is incidental.

I need you to concentrate
on what's important.

Have you figured out who
is dabbling in our pot?

Well, I need
a little bit more time,

- but I think that it's...
- It's Dolva Tech.

Dolva Tech. Right.
I... That was my hunch.

- How did you...
- Don't try to take credit for something that I figured out.

But since I have my priorities
straight, I'm about to make your day.

Do you own a tuxedo?

I think I do, somewhere.

You and I will be attending a
black tie charity benefit tonight.

Harlan Hames will be there.
7:00 p.m. sharp.

It is critical
that you are not late.

Well, that...
It's a little short notice for me.

Do you see what this says?

Uh, "Pain is money.

There is no profit
in happiness."

That's deep.

My father taught me that.

And he also taught me that
winners never make excuses.

Sounds like you had
a magical childhood.

Oh, you're very funny, Brent,
but let's get one thing clear.

This is your last opportunity to impress
upon Harlan that we know what we're doing.

It's all on you.

I appreciate
the second chance.

It's your only chance.

Harlan. How are you?

Yes, we are on our way.
6:00 p.m. on the dot.

Looking forward.

Hey, how's
the homework going?

- Good.
- Good.

Uncle Paul says
to tell you hello.

What? When'd you
talk to him, Ruby?

You don't remember, Mom?
We went to see Uncle Paul...

Last week, for that thing.

- Yeah!
- What?

No, remember when
we went to his house?

What?

All right. Nobody move.
I want to know what's going on.

Hey. Paul.

What a coincidence.

We were just
talking about you.

- Why is he calling here?
- I have no clue.

I'll get it.

- Hey, Dad.
- Hey. Where's your mom?

Kitchen.

- Hey, guys.
- Hi, Dad!

Hey, Dad.

Guys!

Quickly.

Uh-huh.

- Hey.
- Yeah.

Where's my tuxedo?

Hey.

- Can it hold for one second?
- Hold on. What are you doing?

- My tuxedo. I need it.
- One second.

Thanks. Okay, bye.

I... Do you know where my tux is?
I need it.

Your what?

My tuxedo. Where is it?

Look, Brent, that was
my brother on the phone.

And he wants to talk to us,
something about the kids.

I think it's in the garage.

- Why isn't this thing working?
- Maybe bad reception?

Maybe. All right,
I got another idea.

Now where are you going?

Did you hear what I said?

You meet with your
brother for the both of us.

He makes me nervous.

I folded all this,
and you're pulling it apart. Please.

Be careful with this.

Wow.

My dress.

I remember this dress.

- It was on our first date.
- Yeah.

Did Dad say he's
going on a date?

What?

We never made time
for us.

What does that even mean?
Of course we made time for us.

It's always about us,
and the house and the kids.

No, that's the problem.
We never make time for us.

You and I.

I'm sorry.
I gotta find this tuxedo.

Of course you do.
Where are you going?

Oh, I'm meeting Chelsea
for this affair at Harlan's.

Who's Chelsea?

What's an affair?

It's the last chance I have
of making this deal.

- Mm.
- Where is it, Sarah?

I might've donated it.

What? Why?

It's not like you've been Prince
Charming lately, and I-I had a moment.

- All right, think.
- Sorry.

Whew, I stink.

Okay.
I know what to do.

I'm gonna call Hayden.

Here, I'm gonna...

Hayden!
Hey, buddy.

Dad's going on a date with
some woman named Chelsea.

You can?
That's perfect!

Okay, I'll see you
there in 30 minutes.

Wait. He still has his tux
from our wedding?

Goes swing dancing
in it every weekend.

- Weird.
- Um...

Can we talk about
this later? Please?

- Sure.
- Yeah. Okay.

Can I use the shower?

You know where it is.

Thanks.

Dad's a huge creep
for doing this to Mom.

Yeah. What are we
gonna do now?

I've got an idea.

- Wait!
- Wait, hold on.

Where are my clothes?

Kids! Bring my clothes
back this instant!

Oh, no. You gotta
be kidding me.

What is wrong
with these kids?

We are gonna talk
about this later!

He'll make
a great impression.

Oh, yeah.

Kids!

Where are you?
Can you come to the kitchen?

Hope we're
not in big trouble.

All right.

We got this. Don't worry.
Just breathe.

Okay.

Uh...

Anything you'd like to tell me
before I go see Uncle Paul?

We respect your bravery,
all things considered.

We want you to know,
we think what Dad is doing is wrong.

We got your back.

Okay.

This is not good.

Paul.

Hey, sis!
So glad you could make it.

Where's Brent?

Oh, it's okay.

Come here, come here.

It's gonna be all right.
I'll make us some tea.

When'd you get all
this chicken wallpaper?

Oh, I just put it up.
Pretty snazzy, huh?

Yeah.

Oh.

Chickens.

- Sir, what are you doing?
- Hi.

Uh...

Is this a party
for Harlan Hames?

It is.

Yes. Great.
Nobody's wearing a tuxedo.

♪ Hey, hey there, baby
Something just ain't right ♪

It's not really a tuxedo
kind of establishment.

Uh, yeah, well, my friend
dropped off a tuxedo

for you to give to me.

A short guy.

But nobody's
wearing a tuxedo.

You know it's not a pajama
party either, right?

In hindsight,
I realize it was wrong to interfere

without talking
to you first.

But... the kids,
they just tugged at my heart.

So I reached out to an
old college buddy of mine

in hopes that he would be able
to connect me with you and Brent.

So this was
all your idea?

Well, I mean,
not entirely.

I didn't know that Donovan
was gonna create

such a media circus.

Look, I know you don't always want
advice from your older brother,

but in my opinion,

divorce isn't always the option
that people think it is.

So I'm just supposed to stay
in a miserable marriage?

Is it really
that miserable?

I mean, I recall
two lovebirds

that couldn't get enough
of each other.

Yeah.

I did fall in love
with him.

But we're just
so different now.

Marriage
is a loyal partnership.

Do you really think God would
leave you with just two options?

Misery or divorce?

That's a myth.

Well...

the children deserve
to live in a home

where their parents aren't
fighting all the time.

The children deserve
to live in a home

where their parents learn to
not fight with each other.

Well, we're meeting with
the mediator tomorrow,

and I don't even know
where to start.

Sarah, you can
get a divorce.

That is an option that is
certainly available to you,

but you owe it to yourself
and to your children

to be honest about
why you're doing it.

♪ Baby, tell me who she is ♪

Great band.

Mm. Little Sue
and the Cow Tippers.

- Oh.
- That's Tony on the drums.

He's my cousin.

- Oh, that's great.
- Yeah.

- Listen, Chelsea... May I call you Chelsea?
- Of course.

I've been kicking this around
for a long time now,

and, you know,
I have to say,

it's not like
I love Dolva Tech.

You know, like a cat
loves a cream jar.

But I have to say,
right now,

Dolva Tech's offer's
better than Peterson's.

And I got 2,000 loyal
employees I look after.

It's 500 individuals,

1,500 families,
3,500 children

and 300 or 400
grandchildren.

You know how many people
that is?

It's...
It's a lot of people,

and they're gonna still need
their jobs after I retire.

Oh, these here,
these are my favorites.

Mm. Can't get
enough of them.

- You want some?
- No, thank you.

- Mr. Hames...
- Oh, hey, Chelsea,

call me Harlan.

Consider allowing
Brent Lambert

to review
Dolva Tech's offer.

Brent is our chief
strategist in acquisitions.

If he fails to convince you that Peterson
is a better home for your company,

then my job is done,

and I wish you and Dolva
Tech great success,

with no hard feelings.

That's mighty big
of you, Chelsea.

You seem to have a lot of
confidence in this Brent fella.

- Mm. He's levelheaded, reliable.
- And late.

♪ Waiting on you to come home ♪

I think I see the people
I'm looking for.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, I'm so sorry.
Sorry, excuse me.

This is
my favorite song.

Sorry. Chelsea,
Mr. Hames.

You gotta be kidding me.

Ms. Dwyer, do you
know this fella?

Brent, what's
come over you?

- I can explain.
- You know what, son?

Pink's your color.

I've been looking
for slippers like that.

Well, I'm...
I'm a little bit confused here.

Nobody's dressed
in a tuxedo.

Who wears a tux
to a barbecue, Brent?

You told me
that this was a...

I told you
to be here on time!

And now you mocked me
in front of our client

by showing up looking
like some insane person.

- What?
- Is this alcohol? Drugs?

We're gonna
get you help.

All right, come on.

Come on.
Come on, buddy.

I am so sorry.

I think the pressure
just got to him.

That's a crying shame when a
grown man buckles like that.

♪ Waitin' on you to come home ♪

Divorce
is such a harsh word.

I prefer the term
matrimonial restructuring.

And as your
court-appointed mediator,

and in the spirit
of harmony,

I would like to
welcome you both.

Oh, would either of you care

for some organic
hibiscus-infused moon tea?

How much?

Oh, a single cup should
interface your chakra

and body mind,
allowing for...

How much is this
going to cost?

Oh, I see.

Well,

I recommend

a minimum of two 90-minute
sessions per week,

spread out over
three to five months.

- And that should be enough...
- All right. You know what?

- I've had enough.
- Brent!

That's a "no" to the tea?

What are we doing, Sarah?

Really?

Our kids are
out of control.

I've lost my job.

And here we are
spending everything

just to see
who gets what's left.

None of this
was my idea.

Actually,
this was all your idea.

Can't we just agree that the
both of us have made mistakes

and move on from there?

You know what?
Forget it.

What, just like that?
You're just gonna walk away?

We didn't have any help
to get married,

and we sure as heck don't need
anybody's help to get divorced.

Mm, I'm so sorry.

Did you want some?

What?

Well, did you
give them the tea?

Yeah.
Okay, thank you.

Well, that's that.

What happened?

Your parents
rejected mediation.

I guess,
from the looks of it,

your dad's having
a nervous breakdown.

Word on the street is he
lost his job last night,

and he showed up
to a charity event

in a nightgown
and fuzzy slippers.

Did you say
a charity event?

Yeah.

Sometimes the pressure can
get to be too much for a man.

What do we do now?

Nothing.

We took a shot.
It didn't pan out.

I don't understand.

Don't start that, okay?

Cut it out.

You're killing me, kid.
Come on.

You said you'd help.

I said I'd try.

Okay?

Look, I said
I'd buy you some time,

and that's what I did.

I said from the start,

there's no way to stop
a couple from divorcing.

They have to decide that
on their own.

It's time you kids
accept that. Okay?

It's okay, Mr. Marshall.
I know you did your best.

Goodbye, Mr. Marshall.

Goodbye. Thank you.
Thanks for coming.

Now don't you start.

We made Dad lose his job.

I thought he was
going on a date.

- It's all our fault.
- It's okay, it's not.

Paul!

Yeah,
I'm around back.

Hey, you...
You got a minute?

Sure!

How come you have a street
sign in your backyard?

Oh, that?

That fell down out front
during the last storm.

It was on my to-do list
to put them back up.

Isn't that a culinary torch
that you use to make desserts?

Oh, yeah, but it's also
a really good welder.

Like, I've been watching
these how-to-do videos,

and it's amazing the uses you
can get out of this little guy.

All righty.

Hey, I'm sorry that

I didn't get over here
the other day with Sarah.

Work has been
a little crazy lately.

Really? I thought
you got canned

for wearing a muumuu
to a charity event.

Hey, it was a pink
polka-dotted robe

and white,
fuzzy slippers, okay?

Even better.

Trying to make
a statement, huh?

Well, that's... I guess
that's one way to look at it.

I'm sorry, it's just
that my kids, um...

My kids have
been acting out,

and I think this divorce
is taking its toll on them.

Yeah, about that.
Look, I...

I apologize for things
getting out of hand.

You have no idea.

And Donovan
has assured me

that he is no longer
involved in your divorce.

Paul...

why is it so hard?

Well, did you think that
turning your world upside down

would be easy?

I mean, tons of people
get divorced every day.

That's the point.
None of this is gonna be easy.

I mean, nobody wins in a
divorce except the attorneys.

This is tearing us apart.

Well, that's exactly what
is supposed to be happening.

Look, God develops this
redemptive plan for the world,

and divorce just tears
at the heart of it.

Yeah, but I don't think
you know our situation.

Maybe I don't,
but your kids came to me

because they saw something
that you don't.

And maybe your marriage
is just so beyond fixable

that there's just no reason
to try any longer.

Uh, look, I'm sorry
that we haven't been close.

I just want to thank you
for looking after us.

We are a family.
It's what we do.

Ow!

You might want to
take a break from all this.

Oh. Yeah, probably
a good idea.

Oh, hey, I'm fixing to
glaze a baked ham for lunch.

You want to join?

With that?

Ah! Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, no, it's...
I'm okay.

- Might do a crème brûlée!
- All right.

- Goodbye, Mr. Marshall.
- Good night, Bianca.

You know what?
I need to get this off my chest.

Those kids came here sincerely
asking you for your help.

But you made this
all about you.

"The new marshal in town."

I believe that you
can help those kids

if you stop
being so selfish.

You are a good lawyer.
Act like it!

Well, thank you
for your honesty.

- I will definitely...
- Think about it.

Those kids are not the only
ones Uncle Paul is helping here.

Good night, Mr. Marshall.

Good night, Bianca.

Hmm.

Proverbs 31:8.

Proverbs 31:8.

"Speak up for those who
cannot speak for themselves,

for the rights of all
who are vulnerable."

Speak up.

Four.

Come on!

Hello.

There's a new marshal in town.

Pew, pew. Pew, pew, pew.

Mr. Marshall.

Mr. Marshall?

Aw!

Looks like you found you
a new friend.

Huh?

Huh?

Yeah.
That's funny.

Bianca.

I just want to say that,

well, everything you said
to me last night is true.

I have been
a little selfish,

and I haven't given
this thing my best shot.

Pardon?

Excuse me?

Did you just say
that I was right?

We got a lot of work to do.
Okay, Bianca?

Finally!

Does that mean that I can
have a new coffeemaker?

Maybe.

- Hey.
- Hi.

I just wanted to come by.

Sorry.

Sure you don't
want to get that?

Yeah. Sure.

I just wanted
to say I'm sorry

for what I said at the
mediator's office yesterday.

I was out of line.

Well, this is unexpected.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Anyway, I gotta get
back to the office.

Chelsea was kind enough to
allow me to box up my stuff

and take the walk of shame,
so...

Of course. Go.

And, uh,
see you in court.

Yep.

Okay.

Hello?

Isabel.
Donovan Marshall here.

Mr. Marshall?

Listen, tomorrow your parents
are going back to court.

Mr. Marshall, I get you
don't want to help us,

but let's not rub salt
in the wound.

- No, no, no, no. I want to help.
- Really?

Yeah!
I think I found it.

Found what?

Okay, this is
a long shot,

but I got one important
question for you.

Do your parents
still love each other?

I know they do.

Well, then your parents
just need to be reminded.

Reminded?

Isabel, sometimes adults
need a little push

in the right direction
so they can remember

why they chose that path
in the first place.

Okay!
Let me think about it.

- Bye!
- Bye-bye.

Reminded?

I got it.

I knew there was a corazón
over there somewhere.

See? I told you it was
going to be good for you.

I'm a pretty good guy,
aren't I?

I found an extra one.
Thought you might need it.

Ah! This will
fit perfectly.

Don't forget to lock up.

Hey! Have
a wonderful evening.

Don't speak to me.

Ooh. They don't make 'em
like that no more.

Okay, anyway.

You was right about something being
fishy about this whole deal, okay?

I looked into the company

that was sponsoring the expo
that Chelsea was attending,

and it's called A...

AG...

AG... AGZ,

AGZ Tech.

AGZ Tech is the sister company
to Dolva Tech.

And I'm pretty sure
Chelsea's on the board,

but don't quote me on that because
I'm still waiting for intel.

Of course!
Of course, she's...

Mm-hmm.

Chelsea's playing
both sides.

It's a slice and dice.

All they wanted was
Hames's patents.

- Mm-hmm.
- So,

Dolva Tech
liquidates Allied,

their stock goes
through the roof...

and Chelsea makes
a chunk of change.

Boom.

Hey.

I'm sorry I haven't been
more supportive lately.

I really am, and I appreciate
you looking out for me.

Hey, man, look,
you're my boy.

You're my amigo.
Okay?

I didn't want to see you
go out like that, man.

You okay?

I mean, you know,
bittersweet, but...

Oh, it's from Sarah.

She wants to talk.

You miss her, huh?

I do.

- Oh! Dad texted back.
- Hurry up.

"Meet at 6:00."

- Delete! Quickly.
- Okay. Okay, okay.

Send. Delete.

You know what, man?

Get outta here.
Go put on something nice.

And don't wear
that bathrobe, please.

Get out of here,
brother.

Thanks, Cal.

Ah!

- Hey, did you finish that project?
- Yeah.

- And you're ready for your test?
- Yes.

- Okay.
- Almost done.

Hey, would you guys mind
watching Ruby tonight?

Oh, not at all.
I can work on some math facts with her.

And I can whip up a nice
little meal for all of us.

Thank you, honey.

Okay.

Yes!

You look beautiful.

I haven't heard you say that
in a long time.

This place
has not changed a bit.

Yeah. I was surprised
you asked me here.

Me?

You're the one
that suggested we...

Good evening,
and welcome to Tony's.

My name is Thomas.
I'll be serving you this evening.

Could I interest you in
a complimentary appetizer

prepared especially
for you?

- Uh, sure. Thank you.
- What in the world?

You're welcome.

- Enjoy.
- Thank you.

What is this?

Did you do this?

It must've
been the kids.

"Why you luv each other."

That's definitely
Ruby's writing.

Oh, look at Ruby.

- She's a little chunky.
- Little chunky.

Our wedding picture.

Look at... There's
so much stuff in here.

Look at...

Oh, boy.

I did this of you
right here.

"Do you believe
in love at first sight?"

Yeah.

And I said,
"Love at first sight is easy.

It's when two people
who have been staring

at each other
for years,

that's when it
becomes a miracle."

You remember what you
said to me after that?

Come on, Brent,
do you remember?

Look, I'm tired of
kicking this thing back and forth.

Get out there, nail down
this deal with Dolva Tech.

All right?
Well, go on!

Brent?
Do you remember?

- What?
- I'm so sorry.

Will you excuse me
just for a minute?

What... Where
are you going?

Don't move. I'll be right back.
I promise.

Uh, excuse me, Mr. Hames?

Well, do I know you?

May... May I have
a word with you, sir?

- Oh, yeah. Wait a minute, you...
- We met.

Yeah. You're the
fella from the barbecue with...

Yes. That's... That's me.
May I sit?

All right, all right.
Have a seat.

Thank you, sir.

Um, about that, I just...
I'm Brent Lambert,

and I want to apologize
for the other night.

Unbelievable.

Sir, I'm going through some
personal issues right now,

which is not the reason
why I came over here.

It's about your company
and the sale to Dolva Tech.

I'll give you to
the end of my drink.

Okay.

Uh, Dolva Tech plans on
chopping up Allied United Farms

and selling it off
in bits and pieces.

I'm almost certain of it.

Also, I believe,
and I can't prove this,

that Chelsea was
playing both sides.

She sits on the board on one
of Dolva Tech's subsidiaries

and stands to make
a lot of money

from the sale
of their stock,

which is why she sabotaged
the sale for Peterson.

But she needed
to cover her tracks,

which is why
she set me up, sir.

And, honestly, Mr. Hames,

if I wasn't so preoccupied
with my divorce,

I would have seen this
much sooner.

And...

if I wasn't so preoccupied
with my work,

I would have spent
more time with my wife,

and I wouldn't be
in this position.

Sir. So, anyway.

I don't like being
hornswoggled, Brent.

No, you're not, sir.

I'm to blame.
I'm the one accountable.

Hmm. Yeah.

Well, blame and accountability
are two different things.

To be accountable, well,
that's to be responsible for fixing things

when they go haywire.

And blame, that's
the price you pay

from running away
from responsibility.

Yeah.

- I like you, Brent.
- Thank you.

I'll have my boys
check this out,

and if what you say
holds water...

heads are gonna roll.

I appreciate that, sir.

Um, excuse me.

Okay. Goodbye, Mom. Love you.

That was Mom.

- She didn't sound very happy.
- Well, what are we gonna do?

We can't let them go
to court tomorrow.

We could try "Ruby's got a
fever." That always works.

Tricks aren't going to
work this time, guys.

It's up to them.

One can be overpowered.

Two can
defend their selves.

But a cord of three
is not easily broken.

We ask these things
in Jesus' name.

Amen.

Am I to understand
that you both have terminated

your legal relationships
with your counsel?

- Yes, Judge.
- Yes, Judge.

I see.

And what's your dog in the hunt
here, Mr. Marshall?

Well, Your Honor,
it is my clients' wishes

to withdraw their petition
for injunction

and let these proceedings
proceed unencumbered.

A sensible decision.

Well, since there are
no further objections

in the matter of
Lambert vs. Lambert,

I hereby order a decree
for divorce shall be...

Uh, provided, of course,

that the litigants can provide
satisfactory evidence

to that end.

Excuse me?

Well, Your Honor, may I
draw the court's attention

to California Code 598.5
subsection 1, paragraph G,

which states,

"The trial petitioner must
present satisfactory evidence

that there has been a breakdown
of the marriage relationship

and that there remains
no reasonable likelihood

that the marriage
can be preserved."

Now, in light
of the fact that

petitioner Sarah Lambert has
not provided such evidence,

I ask the court that may she
provide this evidence now?

All right.

I'll allow it, but make
it quick, Counselor.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Mrs. Lambert, if you will.

I'm not sure what
I'm supposed to do.

Simply explain to the court
why your marriage is so broke

that you feel it is
not worth your time

or effort to repair it.

Nothing good
is coming out of this.

Well, I wouldn't exactly
put it like that.

Well, how would you put it,
Mrs. Lambert?

Was there adultery?

No, never.

Were either you or
Mr. Lambert sentenced to prison?

Is there allegations
of abuse?

What? No, you
have it all wrong.

Oh. I've got it
all wrong.

Well, then enlighten us,
Mrs. Lambert.

Please explain to us
why we're all here today.

I felt so alone.

Hmm.

And you thought by
divorcing your husband,

that's gonna make you
feel less alone?

No, I just wanted Brent
to prioritize our marriage

and make me feel important as
much as the kids and his job.

And you thought by
nagging him, by blaming him,

by withholding your love
and support for him...

Mr. Marshall,
I find your tone unnecessarily hostile.

- I just wanted him to...
- To what, Mrs. Lambert? To what?

- Just to...
- To stand up.

She just wanted me
to stand up for us.

And don't ever talk to
my wife like that again.

Mr. Lambert.

Your Honor, I...

I thought the value of a man
was measured by

how hard he worked and how quickly
he climbed the ladder of success.

But what's funny is as soon as
I got kicked off that ladder,

the only thing I could think
about was... my wife and kids.

Last night wasn't
a trip down memory lane.

Our kids were trying
to remind me,

reminds us,
of... the love we had.

And... the love that we've
taken for granted.

And the love that's still
there to be rediscovered.

From the moment
I saw you...

it was love
at first sight.

You're my everything.

And I do remember what
I said to you that night.

"Do you believe
in miracles?"

I do.

I do!

Yes!

Order! Order!

- I knew it!
- Order!

- We did it!
- Yay!

- Let's go home.
- Yes.

I knew
we could do it!

Well, it looks
like I saved...

Yeah, whatever.

Case dismissed!

And I don't want to ever
see any of you again!

Bye, guys!

I'll call you later.

If this gets out,
we're ruined.

Finished.

And that's how we
became one happy family!

Hey, hey, Paul.

Mr. Marshall started helping
Uncle Paul at his place.

We thought
that was a really good idea

since Uncle Paul
really needed the help.

And he was
running out of Band-Aids!

Ah!

- It hurts.
- Yeah.

Dad finally
got his promotion.

His boss was not
very happy about that.

Great.

Mr. Marshall
surprised Bianca

and got her a coffeemaker!

Ah!

Business was really
picking up for them.

Thank you, thank you,
thank you!

And here we are,
our first dinner together,

where we all just laughed.

Dad told corny jokes,

and Mom just couldn't
stop smiling.

And that bread was
really, really good bread.

Oh, look,
Uncle Paul's waking up.

Okay, guys,
we have to go.

But we'll have a session next week.
Same time.

Bye!

That was fun.

Yeah.

- Hello.
- Mr. Marshall?

I think I have a few
more clients for you.

Mark.

We should just do
what I came here to do.

Hot buns!

- That was me?
- On the oven.

You can meet with
your brother for the...

That would be the doorknob.

We're still
in the room!

We're never invisible!

Why is he laughing?

"We're never invisible"!
So cute.

- Ryan.
- Hmm?

Sorry. I was concentrating
not to smile,

and then I totally
forgot my line.

Oh. Okay.

- Is this potable water?
- Absolutely.

- Here we go. Ready?
- Are we done with this scene yet?

We should be.

Oh. Yeah,
that was mine.

Oop.

Whoa, whoa.

That's too far.

Provided, of course, that the legiti...
Uh, legiti...

Provided that the litigants

can provide satisfactory
evidence to that end,

of course.

I know. I'm snoopy.

Oh! Uh, where
are we going from?

It didn't seem odd?
Are you kidding?

Better than that
low-flying airplane

that's gonna attack
at any minute.

That's not
important.

Hold on, I forgot my...

What's an affair?

Is that what you say
to a person,

when, like, especially,
"Your hair's looking clunky."

I'm glad you're
not my doctor.

"You know what? You're gonna die here soon, but..."

We need a fart.

Yeah.

Are you
freaking kidding me?

It's okay.
It's the cats.

Am I gonna go in?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

- Yeah, I think...
- No, I'm back. I'm back, guys.

- Sarah.
- Claire?

Claire? Claire!

- Oh, Sarah's my wife.
- Sarah's your wife.

Where's the surprise?

Surprise!

- Oh! I thought...
- That was great.

The phone has been
ringing all morning.

That's awesome.

Yeah! I love it.

Of course I have
a plan, Blanca.

Sorry.

Blanca?

What's going on today?

Your Honor, my...
Sorry.

When are we rolling?

- Just now.
- Oh! And I was on the phone?

- Did I get in trouble?
- That was very unprofessional.

Scene 48, take two.

Marker.

- What do we do? Oh.
- Stop, stop.

Hit the button, hit three,
hit three. Reset.

I love you guys.

I had so much fun!
