1
00:00:01,218 --> 00:00:02,611
Previously On This Is Us...
2
00:00:02,785 --> 00:00:04,134
My mom is sick, and,
3
00:00:04,308 --> 00:00:05,657
uh, I'm still
barely talking to Randall.
4
00:00:05,831 --> 00:00:08,356
But that's okay,
because I am very excited
5
00:00:08,530 --> 00:00:11,489
to spend the next bunch of years
sharing walls with this family.
6
00:00:11,663 --> 00:00:14,753
Uncle Nicky, what are you...
what are you doing here?
7
00:00:14,927 --> 00:00:16,581
There is a job at Jack's school.
8
00:00:16,755 --> 00:00:18,453
I already talked
to Dr. Salzman. She said
9
00:00:18,627 --> 00:00:20,020
that I would be great for it,
and she offered it to me.
10
00:00:20,194 --> 00:00:21,586
Alex is a "they."
11
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:22,935
And they're not just
my best friend.
12
00:00:23,110 --> 00:00:25,503
-We're together.
-You mean like a couple?
13
00:00:25,677 --> 00:00:27,636
Yeah, Mom, like a couple.
14
00:00:27,810 --> 00:00:28,985
There's this girl
that I've been seeing.
15
00:00:29,159 --> 00:00:30,900
I've wanted to propose to her
16
00:00:31,074 --> 00:00:32,423
for a while now.
17
00:00:32,597 --> 00:00:34,121
Go propose to that girl,
18
00:00:34,295 --> 00:00:35,644
Pearson.
19
00:00:40,431 --> 00:00:41,998
-Hey, man.
-Hey.
20
00:00:42,172 --> 00:00:44,044
Hey, so I got the hot chocolate.
21
00:00:44,218 --> 00:00:46,524
-Uh-huh.
-I got the corn syrup
for the candied apples.
22
00:00:46,698 --> 00:00:49,484
And I bought every box
of string lights
23
00:00:49,658 --> 00:00:52,182
-they had at the hardware store.
-That's my guy.
24
00:00:52,356 --> 00:00:54,315
Hey, do me a favor
and look at this.
25
00:00:54,489 --> 00:00:56,056
I mean, did I get
these letters even?
26
00:00:56,230 --> 00:00:59,276
Yeah.
You spelled "carnival" wrong.
27
00:00:59,450 --> 00:01:01,017
I...
28
00:01:01,191 --> 00:01:03,019
I'm kidding. No.
No, it looks great, man.
29
00:01:03,193 --> 00:01:05,195
Great's not good enough, Miguel.
30
00:01:05,369 --> 00:01:06,675
I need this proposal
to be perfect.
31
00:01:06,849 --> 00:01:08,329
Jack, you are recreating
your first date
32
00:01:08,503 --> 00:01:09,895
with Rebecca in her apartment.
33
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:11,158
It's exactly the kind
of romantic gesture
34
00:01:11,332 --> 00:01:13,073
that makes other guys hate you.
35
00:01:13,247 --> 00:01:15,336
-Come on. Other guys
don't hate me.
-Yeah, they do.
36
00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:17,555
Anyways, did,
uh, you ever end up
37
00:01:17,729 --> 00:01:18,948
getting ahold
of Rebecca's dad?
38
00:01:19,122 --> 00:01:21,168
No. Never called me back.
39
00:01:21,342 --> 00:01:24,040
Finally spelled it out
to his secretary this morning.
40
00:01:24,214 --> 00:01:26,521
"Hey, Darcy, it's Jack Pearson
calling again.
41
00:01:26,695 --> 00:01:28,566
"Could please let
Mr. Malone know
42
00:01:28,740 --> 00:01:31,395
"the guy he hates is planning
on asking his daughter
43
00:01:31,569 --> 00:01:34,006
to marry him tonight
and just wants his blessing?"
44
00:01:34,181 --> 00:01:35,878
Never called me back.
45
00:01:36,052 --> 00:01:38,707
Probably thinks
I'm still just a drunken kid
46
00:01:38,881 --> 00:01:40,709
who can't hit a golf ball
to save his life.
47
00:01:40,883 --> 00:01:42,580
Well, you can't hit a golf ball.
48
00:01:42,754 --> 00:01:44,669
Hey, you know what?
49
00:01:44,843 --> 00:01:46,541
-Youcan't hit a golf ball.
50
00:02:03,558 --> 00:02:06,604
"It's official" your engagement
is national news.
51
00:02:06,778 --> 00:02:08,171
-Mm.
-And your wedding is going
to make headlines, too,
52
00:02:08,345 --> 00:02:09,738
because I pulled some strings
53
00:02:09,912 --> 00:02:11,740
and locked in
the Villas at Solstice Cove.
54
00:02:11,914 --> 00:02:13,916
Manny say what?
55
00:02:14,090 --> 00:02:16,266
That just came out.
I can't control it sometimes.
56
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,963
There's nothing
I can do about it.
57
00:02:18,138 --> 00:02:19,965
This is what we wanted.
This is our first choice.
58
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:23,230
-Yeah. Yeah.
-It's great, yeah?
59
00:02:23,404 --> 00:02:24,709
What? What's wrong?
60
00:02:24,883 --> 00:02:26,494
No. No, no, nothing.
61
00:02:26,668 --> 00:02:29,758
It's just, um, I-I didn't think
we'd be able to book it.
62
00:02:29,932 --> 00:02:31,412
-Oh.
-You know, it's-it's perfect.
63
00:02:31,586 --> 00:02:33,370
It's big and beautiful and airy.
64
00:02:33,544 --> 00:02:35,416
-Yeah.
-A dream pandemic venue.
65
00:02:35,590 --> 00:02:37,374
Mm.
-Mrs. Manny say what?
66
00:02:37,548 --> 00:02:38,767
-There she is.
67
00:02:38,941 --> 00:02:40,943
All right.
68
00:02:41,117 --> 00:02:42,901
You know, I've never been
invited to a wedding.
69
00:02:43,075 --> 00:02:44,338
Crashed one once.
70
00:02:44,512 --> 00:02:47,297
Came across
this outdoor barbecue.
71
00:02:47,471 --> 00:02:50,648
Biggest heap of mac and cheese
you ever saw.
72
00:02:50,822 --> 00:02:52,128
That bride was pissed.
73
00:02:52,302 --> 00:02:54,478
-Speaking of invites,
74
00:02:54,652 --> 00:02:56,437
I need guest lists and wedding
party names, like, yesterday.
75
00:02:56,611 --> 00:02:59,527
Yeah, no. It's-it's not gonna be
a big list. It'll be small.
76
00:02:59,701 --> 00:03:02,007
We're keeping it intimate.
You know, just the closest
77
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:03,792
-family and friends is all.
Yeah, the only person
78
00:03:03,966 --> 00:03:05,794
in my wedding party
will be Kevin's sister Kate.
79
00:03:05,968 --> 00:03:09,145
I asked her yesterday.
We screamed, we cried,
80
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:11,103
we sang "We Are Family"
by Sister Sledge.
81
00:03:11,278 --> 00:03:12,670
It was... it was beautiful.
82
00:03:12,844 --> 00:03:14,498
And you, Kevin?
83
00:03:14,672 --> 00:03:16,370
Oh, right. Uh, well,
84
00:03:16,544 --> 00:03:18,372
my best man will obviously be
my brother.
85
00:03:18,546 --> 00:03:22,114
And when I ask him, I'm sure
it will be equally beautiful.
86
00:03:22,289 --> 00:03:23,725
You haven't talked to him yet?
87
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:27,511
I mean, I, you know,
I-I want to...
88
00:03:27,685 --> 00:03:30,862
No. I just... I want to make
sure I say it the right way.
89
00:03:31,036 --> 00:03:32,386
-You should just ask him.
-Yeah, I will.
90
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,300
'Cause you guys are
in a good place now.
91
00:03:33,474 --> 00:03:34,344
Yeah, yeah. No, I will.
92
00:03:34,518 --> 00:03:36,346
I just, you know, I will.
93
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,870
Okay, let's talk
rehearsal dinner.
94
00:03:39,044 --> 00:03:41,221
-Who's hosting?
-That would be my mom
and her husband Miguel.
95
00:03:41,395 --> 00:03:43,005
-Mm.
-They just got back
to L.A. yesterday,
96
00:03:43,179 --> 00:03:46,051
-both fully vaccinated.
-Miguel, huh?
97
00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:47,531
You know,
he's the guy who's, uh,
98
00:03:47,705 --> 00:03:49,403
banging my brother's wife,
right?
99
00:03:50,839 --> 00:03:54,190
Well, I call her "Mom,"
but-but yeah.
100
00:03:54,364 --> 00:03:56,366
Um, I think he prefers
101
00:03:56,540 --> 00:03:58,150
"Rebecca's husband
for over a decade,"
102
00:03:58,325 --> 00:03:59,674
but-but yeah, that Miguel.
103
00:03:59,848 --> 00:04:03,199
You know, um,
I'd like to help out
104
00:04:03,373 --> 00:04:05,854
with the rehearsal dinner,
whatever the hell that is.
105
00:04:06,028 --> 00:04:07,551
-Oh.
-Are you... are you serious?
106
00:04:07,725 --> 00:04:09,684
Yeah. Why not?
Any schmuck who's read a menu
107
00:04:09,858 --> 00:04:11,686
can pick out food
for dinner, right?
108
00:04:11,860 --> 00:04:14,689
Yeah. I guess so. Okay, I'll
tell Miguel. He'll be thrilled.
109
00:04:14,863 --> 00:04:17,169
-Thank you.
-Good.
110
00:04:17,344 --> 00:04:19,737
Fabulous. And I need
the guest list ASAP.
111
00:04:19,911 --> 00:04:21,870
-And you'll please call your brother?
Mm.
112
00:04:22,044 --> 00:04:23,480
I need his suit size.
What's his name?
113
00:04:23,654 --> 00:04:25,352
Uh, Randall Pearson.
114
00:04:25,526 --> 00:04:28,572
I can't believe they went
with "Mevin" over "Kadison."
115
00:04:28,746 --> 00:04:31,096
Let me see.
116
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:34,012
I can't believe Bruno Mars
still picks up his dry cleaning
117
00:04:34,186 --> 00:04:36,188
-like the rest of us. Holy cow.
118
00:04:36,363 --> 00:04:37,712
-Hey.
-Mm.
119
00:04:37,886 --> 00:04:39,017
It's a big day today, baby.
120
00:04:39,191 --> 00:04:40,889
Group therapy.
121
00:04:41,063 --> 00:04:43,065
All right, remember,
it's your first day.
122
00:04:43,239 --> 00:04:45,110
-You know, just ease into it.
-Mm-hmm.
123
00:04:45,285 --> 00:04:46,895
You know, let other people talk.
124
00:04:47,069 --> 00:04:48,897
I will try, Beth. I will.
125
00:04:49,071 --> 00:04:50,072
But I am an orator.
126
00:04:50,246 --> 00:04:52,074
-I orate.
127
00:04:52,248 --> 00:04:53,858
How you doing?
128
00:04:54,032 --> 00:04:55,599
-Mm.
-You feeling okay
129
00:04:55,773 --> 00:04:56,948
about Tess having Alex over
for the first time?
130
00:04:57,122 --> 00:04:58,602
Oh, hell yeah, I feel okay!
131
00:04:58,776 --> 00:05:01,431
Look, I got sodas chilling
in the fridge,
132
00:05:01,605 --> 00:05:05,261
two dozen homemade jalapeño
poppers locked and loaded.
133
00:05:05,435 --> 00:05:07,785
I mean, I just want them
to feel like
134
00:05:07,959 --> 00:05:10,266
theyare totally
welcome here.
135
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,921
You're practicing Alex's gender
pronouns right now, aren't you?
136
00:05:13,095 --> 00:05:14,836
Hell yeah. You know Tess is
mean when you get those wrong.
137
00:05:15,010 --> 00:05:17,447
-I do.
-Ooh, you could always
call on me for backup.
138
00:05:17,621 --> 00:05:19,580
My non-binary pronoun use
is impeccable.
139
00:05:19,754 --> 00:05:21,059
Ooh.
140
00:05:21,233 --> 00:05:23,148
Mm.
-Huh.
141
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:26,108
Looks like J.Lo drinks
Frappuccino, just like me.
142
00:05:27,109 --> 00:05:29,633
Yeah. Just like J.Lo.
143
00:05:30,721 --> 00:05:33,115
Look at this.
Your Uncle Kevin
144
00:05:33,289 --> 00:05:35,900
and future Aunt Madison
on the cover of a magazine.
145
00:05:36,074 --> 00:05:37,902
And, wow. Look at that rock.
146
00:05:38,076 --> 00:05:40,818
Can you say "herniated disc"?
147
00:05:40,992 --> 00:05:44,126
-Okay.
-Oh. Wow.
148
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:46,563
-Turns out, I'm hot for teacher.
149
00:05:46,737 --> 00:05:48,304
-Yeah.
-I'm nervous.
150
00:05:48,478 --> 00:05:52,134
Kate, a job
where you help blind youth
151
00:05:52,308 --> 00:05:55,137
discover their inner musician
is tailor-made for you.
152
00:05:55,311 --> 00:05:57,661
Thank you
for being such a trooper
153
00:05:57,835 --> 00:05:59,184
on this whole transition.
154
00:05:59,359 --> 00:06:01,186
Oh, I-I appreciate
the euphemism,
155
00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:04,581
but I prefer, uh, "forced early
retirement without benefits."
156
00:06:04,755 --> 00:06:06,322
Not funny.
157
00:06:06,496 --> 00:06:08,019
I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
158
00:06:08,193 --> 00:06:09,978
I actually really enjoy
all of this extra time
159
00:06:10,152 --> 00:06:12,459
with our insanely cute children
160
00:06:12,633 --> 00:06:14,199
before I move on
to the next thing.
161
00:06:14,374 --> 00:06:17,289
Which I think is gonna be soon,
because, not to brag,
162
00:06:17,464 --> 00:06:20,771
but in the tech world,
I'm kind of a catch.
163
00:06:20,945 --> 00:06:23,078
You're a catch in any world.
164
00:06:23,252 --> 00:06:24,949
Mm.
165
00:06:25,123 --> 00:06:26,342
All right.
166
00:06:26,516 --> 00:06:29,780
I love you. I love you.
167
00:06:29,954 --> 00:06:31,956
I miss you already.
168
00:06:32,130 --> 00:06:34,655
Text me updates
about the kids, please.
169
00:06:37,701 --> 00:06:39,921
-No.
-No. Yeah.
170
00:06:46,667 --> 00:06:48,190
-Wow.
171
00:06:48,364 --> 00:06:50,192
-Yeah.
-This place is really
coming together.
172
00:06:50,366 --> 00:06:53,369
-Oh, hey.
-Yeah? Hey, you know what?
173
00:06:53,543 --> 00:06:56,024
We should start a side hustle
throwing indoor carnivals.
174
00:06:56,198 --> 00:06:58,330
- Maybe.
-Hey, so, okay,
175
00:06:58,505 --> 00:07:00,898
when are we gonna start, uh,
practicing the proposal?
176
00:07:01,072 --> 00:07:03,205
Oh, I don't need to practice.
I... I got it all right here.
177
00:07:03,379 --> 00:07:04,859
-What? Jack.
-Yeah.
178
00:07:05,033 --> 00:07:08,340
You can't just propose
to someone like Rebecca
179
00:07:08,515 --> 00:07:09,603
without practicing first.
180
00:07:09,777 --> 00:07:10,647
-You want to practice?
-Yeah.
181
00:07:10,821 --> 00:07:12,736
All right, we'll practice.
182
00:07:12,910 --> 00:07:14,825
This is gonna be like an episode
of I Love Lucy.
183
00:07:14,999 --> 00:07:17,001
-Okay. Come on, let's go.
-Um...
184
00:07:18,742 --> 00:07:21,702
-Rebecca...
-Wait. Do you have the ring?
185
00:07:21,876 --> 00:07:23,573
You want to prac... you want me
to practice with the ring?
186
00:07:23,747 --> 00:07:25,183
Yeah, Jack. It's your main prop.
187
00:07:27,055 --> 00:07:29,361
-Okay.
-Okay. Um...
188
00:07:30,711 --> 00:07:31,929
Rebecca...
189
00:07:32,103 --> 00:07:33,409
-Wait.
-What?
190
00:07:33,583 --> 00:07:34,845
Aren't you gonna get down
on one knee?
191
00:07:36,543 --> 00:07:38,066
You want the whole thing.
192
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,242
This is serious, Jack.
193
00:07:41,722 --> 00:07:43,027
Okay.
194
00:07:45,421 --> 00:07:49,033
Uh, um, Rebecca?
195
00:07:49,207 --> 00:07:50,382
Yes, Jack.
196
00:07:54,909 --> 00:07:58,652
Our first date was a disaster.
197
00:07:58,826 --> 00:08:01,785
I could barely afford
the tickets for the carnival.
198
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:03,787
And when it started to rain,
I was afraid
199
00:08:03,961 --> 00:08:05,746
to spend my last two bucks
on an umbrella.
200
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,661
Jack, she was there. Come on.
Let's just get to the meat
201
00:08:07,835 --> 00:08:09,097
-and potatoes of this.
-Okay, yeah, yeah, got it. I...
202
00:08:09,271 --> 00:08:10,446
-Yeah, the meat...
-Okay, okay, no, no, no.
203
00:08:10,620 --> 00:08:11,708
I got it. I got it.
I got it. Okay.
204
00:08:11,882 --> 00:08:16,496
Bec, for reasons
I will never know,
205
00:08:16,670 --> 00:08:19,716
at the end of the night,
you kissed me.
206
00:08:19,890 --> 00:08:22,066
And I decided
right in that moment
207
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,939
that I would spend the rest
of my life making sure
208
00:08:25,113 --> 00:08:27,376
you never had to stand
in the rain again.
209
00:08:27,550 --> 00:08:30,684
So what do you say?
210
00:08:31,728 --> 00:08:34,252
Rebecca, will...? Wait.
211
00:08:34,426 --> 00:08:36,124
-Hold-hold on a second.
-What's happening now?
212
00:08:36,298 --> 00:08:38,822
Uh... it's a key thing.
213
00:08:38,996 --> 00:08:41,042
Key to it.
214
00:08:45,394 --> 00:08:47,962
Rebecca Malone,
215
00:08:48,136 --> 00:08:52,096
will you stand
under this umbrella with me?
216
00:08:52,270 --> 00:08:54,882
-Yes.
217
00:08:57,145 --> 00:08:59,669
Mm.
218
00:08:59,843 --> 00:09:01,410
Okay.
219
00:09:01,584 --> 00:09:03,194
So, what do you think?
220
00:09:03,368 --> 00:09:06,502
-Hmm.
-"Hmm" what?
221
00:09:06,676 --> 00:09:09,026
The ring feels kind of stuck.
222
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,594
What? What do you mean,
the ring is stuck?
223
00:09:11,768 --> 00:09:13,161
It's-it's stuck.
224
00:09:13,335 --> 00:09:15,380
The ring is... What do you mean,
the ring is...?
225
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:16,817
-Ow! Oh, it's pinching.
-Okay...
226
00:09:16,991 --> 00:09:18,383
Just stop moving!
227
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:20,124
Why did you make me
use the real thing, huh?
228
00:09:20,298 --> 00:09:21,822
Why did you put it
all the way on there?
229
00:09:21,996 --> 00:09:23,214
I didn't know
you had a huge knuckle.
230
00:09:23,388 --> 00:09:25,042
S... You can stop right there.
Ow!
231
00:09:25,216 --> 00:09:26,435
-Okay.
-You know what?
This actually happened
232
00:09:26,609 --> 00:09:28,132
-on I Love Lucy.
-Did it?
233
00:09:28,306 --> 00:09:29,656
-Yeah.
-Here. Just keep...
keep it elevated.
234
00:09:29,830 --> 00:09:31,005
-Keep it elevated.
-What's that gonna do?
235
00:09:31,179 --> 00:09:32,484
Blood drains!
236
00:09:32,659 --> 00:09:35,226
It was a very good proposal,
Jack.
237
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,360
I would have said yes.
238
00:09:38,534 --> 00:09:40,841
All right. So, Madison
and the babies are
239
00:09:41,015 --> 00:09:42,669
at the park with Toby,
which is great,
240
00:09:42,843 --> 00:09:44,061
'cause it gives us
a couple hours to wedding-plan
241
00:09:44,235 --> 00:09:46,498
without being crapped on
or spit up on.
242
00:09:46,673 --> 00:09:47,978
Well, I hope
your fiancée works that out
243
00:09:48,152 --> 00:09:49,545
-before you marry her.
244
00:09:49,719 --> 00:09:51,939
All right, first order
of business is, uh,
245
00:09:52,113 --> 00:09:54,898
I got to email Randall
and ask him to be my best man.
246
00:09:55,072 --> 00:09:57,422
Email him? Really?
247
00:09:57,597 --> 00:09:59,511
Doesn't that seem
a little impersonal?
248
00:09:59,686 --> 00:10:01,078
Just-just call him.
249
00:10:01,252 --> 00:10:03,080
Yeah. You know,
I-I thought... I...
250
00:10:03,254 --> 00:10:04,908
-I want to get the words right,
you know? Mm...
251
00:10:05,082 --> 00:10:06,780
Hey, guys.
252
00:10:06,954 --> 00:10:09,739
-Have no fear.
M.C. Rivas is here.
Nice.
253
00:10:09,913 --> 00:10:12,089
Hey, Miguel,
Uncle Nicky's excited
254
00:10:12,263 --> 00:10:14,048
to dive into rehearsal dinner
planning with you,
255
00:10:14,222 --> 00:10:16,093
so just ignore me.
256
00:10:16,267 --> 00:10:19,880
Nicky, I am thrilled to have you
aboard the planning committee.
257
00:10:20,054 --> 00:10:21,403
Dinner.
258
00:10:21,577 --> 00:10:23,013
I'm thinking small plates.
259
00:10:23,187 --> 00:10:25,233
Really?
260
00:10:25,407 --> 00:10:27,235
Won't that be hard
to fit the food on?
261
00:10:27,409 --> 00:10:29,237
Oh, uh, no. The...
262
00:10:29,411 --> 00:10:32,414
So, the plates--
they're not really small.
263
00:10:32,588 --> 00:10:34,764
Uh, it's basically a bunch
of appetizers
264
00:10:34,938 --> 00:10:36,766
that add up to a full meal.
265
00:10:36,940 --> 00:10:38,507
And that way,
people can help themselves
266
00:10:38,681 --> 00:10:40,248
-to as much as they want.
-Well, you're no stranger
267
00:10:40,422 --> 00:10:41,423
to helping yourself
to whatever you want.
268
00:10:41,597 --> 00:10:43,425
What was that?
269
00:10:43,599 --> 00:10:46,210
Hmm?
What about pigs in a blanket?
270
00:10:46,384 --> 00:10:48,082
I do love pigs in a blanket,
271
00:10:48,256 --> 00:10:49,779
but I was thinking
salmon crostini,
272
00:10:49,953 --> 00:10:51,781
bacon-wrapped dates and...
273
00:10:51,955 --> 00:10:53,174
:
bruschetta.
274
00:10:54,218 --> 00:10:55,524
Hey, kid.
275
00:10:55,698 --> 00:10:57,439
Hey! Kid!
276
00:10:57,613 --> 00:10:58,788
Huh?
277
00:10:58,962 --> 00:11:00,616
Do you want small, fancy food
278
00:11:00,790 --> 00:11:02,357
or regular-sized, good food?
279
00:11:05,490 --> 00:11:07,928
Hey, I... You know,
it's up to you guys.
280
00:11:08,102 --> 00:11:10,278
So, I don't think
we need anything crusty.
281
00:11:10,452 --> 00:11:12,976
-Cr... Uh, crus...
It's not crusty.
No.
282
00:11:13,150 --> 00:11:14,325
It's crostini. It's...
You know,
283
00:11:14,499 --> 00:11:16,327
it doesn't sound good at all.
284
00:11:16,501 --> 00:11:18,112
It's got salm... Look,
let me show you a picture of it.
285
00:11:18,286 --> 00:11:20,680
Maybe you'll-you'll get it
a little. S-See how...
286
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:25,946
Oh. Hi!
287
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,425
Hey, uh,
can I help you with that?
288
00:11:27,599 --> 00:11:30,298
No. It's fine.
I'm, uh, already done.
289
00:11:30,472 --> 00:11:32,430
You know, I like to get here
an hour early,
290
00:11:32,604 --> 00:11:34,650
settle in.
291
00:11:34,824 --> 00:11:36,652
I see you're more of a...
292
00:11:36,826 --> 00:11:39,046
-"minute to spare"
type of person.
-Sorry.
293
00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:41,004
I just... It was hard
for me to tear myself away
294
00:11:41,178 --> 00:11:44,051
from my kids this morning,
but I'm sure it'll get easier.
295
00:11:44,225 --> 00:11:47,010
Right? And I'm really excited
to be working with you.
296
00:11:47,184 --> 00:11:49,317
This job is a dream,
and I still cannot believe
297
00:11:49,491 --> 00:11:52,494
-I got it.
-Yeah.
298
00:11:56,890 --> 00:11:58,021
All right!
Good morning, drummers.
299
00:11:58,195 --> 00:11:59,196
Good morning, good morning.
300
00:12:01,721 --> 00:12:03,113
Mom, do you know the difference
301
00:12:03,287 --> 00:12:06,160
between agender and bi-gender?
302
00:12:06,334 --> 00:12:08,684
Bethany, Alex is a teenager,
303
00:12:08,858 --> 00:12:10,991
not the gender police. Relax.
304
00:12:11,165 --> 00:12:14,168
And yes, I do.
305
00:12:14,342 --> 00:12:17,345
-I'm a woman of the times.
306
00:12:25,353 --> 00:12:27,834
Hey.
Hi.
307
00:12:30,358 --> 00:12:33,056
Mom, Mama C,
308
00:12:33,230 --> 00:12:34,710
-this is Alex.
-Hi.
309
00:12:34,884 --> 00:12:36,364
Uh, it's so nice
to meet you guys.
310
00:12:36,538 --> 00:12:38,409
Great to meet you, Alex. Popper?
311
00:12:38,583 --> 00:12:40,368
-Ooh, yes, please.
-Uh, we'll eat them upstairs.
312
00:12:40,542 --> 00:12:42,544
-We need to go study.
-All right.
313
00:12:45,547 --> 00:12:48,550
I hope they leave us
some poppers.
314
00:12:54,077 --> 00:12:56,906
Welcome, everyone.
Welcome, welcome.
315
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,257
So, for those of you
who do not know me, I'm Jase.
316
00:13:00,431 --> 00:13:02,520
And I just want
to say this up front:
317
00:13:02,694 --> 00:13:05,872
this is a transracial adoptee
support group.
318
00:13:06,046 --> 00:13:08,918
This is not
the Harry Potter Alliance.
319
00:13:09,092 --> 00:13:10,702
Last month
there was a little mix-up,
320
00:13:10,877 --> 00:13:13,749
and we had a bunch
of very disappointed dudes
321
00:13:13,923 --> 00:13:16,012
-with wands.
322
00:13:16,186 --> 00:13:17,797
Nothing wrong with that.
323
00:13:17,971 --> 00:13:21,322
So, we've got, uh,
two new additions today, right?
324
00:13:21,496 --> 00:13:23,280
Uh, yeah.
325
00:13:23,454 --> 00:13:25,239
Uh, Randall Pearson.
326
00:13:25,413 --> 00:13:26,936
Thrilled to be here.
327
00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:29,939
Uh, Andrew Levin.
Nice to meet you all.
328
00:13:30,113 --> 00:13:32,899
So, which one of you want
to plunge in into the deep end
329
00:13:33,073 --> 00:13:34,726
and tell us about yourselves?
330
00:13:34,901 --> 00:13:37,120
Uh, okay. Sure.
331
00:13:37,294 --> 00:13:39,209
Um... I mean,
332
00:13:39,383 --> 00:13:40,994
-if you don't mind?
-No, please. Go for it.
333
00:13:42,038 --> 00:13:43,387
Uh...
334
00:13:43,561 --> 00:13:45,041
Where do I start? Um,
335
00:13:45,215 --> 00:13:48,305
I grew up
in Newton, Massachusetts.
336
00:13:48,479 --> 00:13:50,264
Super white,
337
00:13:50,438 --> 00:13:52,788
upper-middle-class,
Jewish parents.
338
00:13:52,962 --> 00:13:55,051
It was actually
shortly after my bar mitzvah
339
00:13:55,225 --> 00:13:57,314
that my depression started.
340
00:13:57,488 --> 00:14:01,536
Something about staring out
at all those faces.
341
00:14:01,710 --> 00:14:04,365
A whole congregation of people
that looked nothing like me.
342
00:14:04,539 --> 00:14:06,671
It shook me.
343
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:10,501
Anyway, I've gotten it
mostly under control, but...
344
00:14:10,675 --> 00:14:13,591
I have this need
to keep proving myself
345
00:14:13,765 --> 00:14:15,898
that never goes away.
346
00:14:18,509 --> 00:14:21,948
So, here I am.
347
00:14:23,514 --> 00:14:25,429
Thank you for sharing, Andrew.
348
00:14:26,561 --> 00:14:28,650
The mailman
was the first Black man
349
00:14:28,824 --> 00:14:29,999
I saw in our neighborhood.
350
00:14:30,173 --> 00:14:32,306
And I used to think,
351
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,004
"Is that him?
352
00:14:35,178 --> 00:14:36,658
Is that my real father?"
353
00:14:36,832 --> 00:14:40,009
At night, I would pray
for my birth mother to find me.
354
00:14:40,183 --> 00:14:43,012
But then my adopted mom
would come tuck me in,
355
00:14:43,186 --> 00:14:44,709
and...
356
00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:46,929
You know,
I would feel so guilty.
357
00:14:49,627 --> 00:14:51,455
Randall.
358
00:14:53,501 --> 00:14:55,895
Anything you want to share, man?
359
00:15:00,508 --> 00:15:02,858
I'm good. I just, uh...
360
00:15:03,032 --> 00:15:05,643
Would it be all right if I
just kept listening for a while?
361
00:15:05,817 --> 00:15:07,297
Absolutely, man.
362
00:15:07,471 --> 00:15:09,647
Absolutely.
363
00:15:15,175 --> 00:15:16,524
Maybe if we grease it, you know,
like when a bolt gets stuck?
364
00:15:16,698 --> 00:15:17,481
Oh, that's a good idea.
365
00:15:17,655 --> 00:15:19,266
-Right?
-Yeah.
366
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,659
You know, this is not how
I imagined my day going.
367
00:15:21,833 --> 00:15:23,531
-Yeah.
368
00:15:24,532 --> 00:15:26,099
Hey, I thought you said
that Rebecca
369
00:15:26,273 --> 00:15:27,709
wasn't gonna be home
for two hours.
370
00:15:27,883 --> 00:15:29,406
It's not Rebecca.
I mean, this is her house.
371
00:15:29,580 --> 00:15:31,452
She'd just walk in.
372
00:15:33,715 --> 00:15:35,369
Mr. Malone.
373
00:15:36,413 --> 00:15:37,937
Good to see you.
374
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:40,026
So, I was thinking
375
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,853
that after the cocktail hour,
376
00:15:42,028 --> 00:15:43,768
I will give my toast.
377
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:46,728
Wait. You're-you're
gonna give a toast?
378
00:15:46,902 --> 00:15:48,904
Of course.
Yeah, I'm-I'm hosting.
379
00:15:49,078 --> 00:15:51,602
No, we're cohosting.
380
00:15:51,776 --> 00:15:54,431
Oh, really? Uh, how much money
are you kicking in
381
00:15:54,605 --> 00:15:57,478
to pay
for cohosting this dinner?
382
00:15:59,741 --> 00:16:02,439
I'm sorry.
383
00:16:02,613 --> 00:16:06,226
It's just that all day,
you have been shooting down
384
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,315
pretty much every idea
that I've had,
385
00:16:08,489 --> 00:16:11,231
and it's just starting
to wear down on me.
386
00:16:11,405 --> 00:16:13,102
No, no, it's kind of like
the way you wore down
387
00:16:13,276 --> 00:16:15,148
my brother's wife
to get her to marry you.
388
00:16:18,542 --> 00:16:19,804
Excuse me?
389
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:21,067
Nicky, what the hell, man?
390
00:16:21,241 --> 00:16:22,546
Oh, forget it.
391
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,418
No. I don't want to forget it.
392
00:16:24,592 --> 00:16:26,202
Go ahead.
393
00:16:26,376 --> 00:16:27,943
We're both grown men.
394
00:16:28,117 --> 00:16:30,163
Say what you're gonna say.
395
00:16:31,251 --> 00:16:33,427
It just doesn't sit with me,
you know?
396
00:16:33,601 --> 00:16:35,472
I mean, my brother
cuts me out of his life
397
00:16:35,646 --> 00:16:37,909
and replaces me with you,
398
00:16:38,084 --> 00:16:39,389
and then you come along,
399
00:16:39,563 --> 00:16:41,174
and you swoop in,
and you marry his wife.
400
00:16:47,484 --> 00:16:49,530
"Swooped in"?
401
00:16:50,922 --> 00:16:54,926
I married Rebecca
13 years after Jack died.
402
00:16:56,319 --> 00:16:57,929
And if you're wondering
whether or not
403
00:16:58,104 --> 00:17:00,410
I spend a few minutes every day
404
00:17:00,584 --> 00:17:03,848
wondering what Jack might think
about that,
405
00:17:04,023 --> 00:17:05,937
well, then, the answer is yes.
406
00:17:06,112 --> 00:17:07,591
I do.
407
00:17:08,636 --> 00:17:11,639
There's only one person
that I owe an explanation to,
408
00:17:11,813 --> 00:17:16,252
and that is the one person
that I can never give one to.
409
00:17:17,427 --> 00:17:20,822
I certainly don't owe one
to you.
410
00:17:29,874 --> 00:17:32,399
So, I have been to every park
411
00:17:32,573 --> 00:17:36,794
in a five-mile radius,
and this one is the best.
412
00:17:38,274 --> 00:17:40,015
Aw, man, Patrick isn't here.
413
00:17:40,189 --> 00:17:42,670
He's my favorite
of the stay-at-home dads.
414
00:17:42,844 --> 00:17:44,324
That's too bad.
415
00:17:44,498 --> 00:17:46,195
How's wedding planning going?
416
00:17:46,369 --> 00:17:49,329
Oh, fine.
417
00:17:49,503 --> 00:17:52,680
She said, staring sadly
off into the distance.
418
00:17:52,854 --> 00:17:55,509
-Just so you know, Madison,
419
00:17:55,683 --> 00:17:57,989
I promise, whatever you say
on the playground
420
00:17:58,164 --> 00:17:59,469
stays on the playground,
421
00:17:59,643 --> 00:18:01,080
as the saying goes.
422
00:18:01,254 --> 00:18:04,257
Ugh. It's stupid.
It's just, um...
423
00:18:05,301 --> 00:18:06,824
We picked a venue.
424
00:18:06,998 --> 00:18:08,826
It's beautiful.
425
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,916
But, um, between us,
426
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:13,875
it's not where I want
to get married.
427
00:18:14,049 --> 00:18:16,834
Hmm. What did Kevin say?
428
00:18:18,401 --> 00:18:20,229
Ah, you haven't told him. Okay.
429
00:18:20,403 --> 00:18:24,538
Sometimes I have a hard time
saying what I want.
430
00:18:24,712 --> 00:18:27,845
Especially with, um... men.
431
00:18:28,019 --> 00:18:29,412
Mm-hmm.
432
00:18:29,586 --> 00:18:31,197
Also women.
433
00:18:31,371 --> 00:18:34,113
A little bit with children.
434
00:18:36,550 --> 00:18:38,378
I think I'm having a...
435
00:18:38,552 --> 00:18:39,857
I'm having a harder time
436
00:18:40,031 --> 00:18:41,555
with this whole
"stay-at-home dad" thing.
437
00:18:41,729 --> 00:18:44,688
Much harder
than I'm letting on to Kate.
438
00:18:45,733 --> 00:18:48,083
The thing is, I l...
I loved my job.
439
00:18:48,257 --> 00:18:50,868
And I loved
getting dressed up for it.
440
00:18:51,042 --> 00:18:53,610
I loved
making coffee to take to it.
441
00:18:53,784 --> 00:18:55,569
I loved doing it.
You know, and I love my kids,
442
00:18:55,743 --> 00:18:57,875
but if I'm being honest...
443
00:18:58,049 --> 00:18:59,660
-Hey.
444
00:18:59,834 --> 00:19:01,052
What you say at the playground
stays at the playground.
445
00:19:01,227 --> 00:19:02,924
I love my kids,
446
00:19:03,098 --> 00:19:05,100
but I don't love spending
ten hours a day with them.
447
00:19:05,274 --> 00:19:06,841
-Mm.
-I didn't mean that.
448
00:19:07,015 --> 00:19:09,017
I didn't mean that.
449
00:19:09,191 --> 00:19:10,540
I totally meant that.
450
00:19:10,714 --> 00:19:12,238
The couple of days
that I've done it,
451
00:19:12,412 --> 00:19:17,068
time has moved
very, very slowly.
452
00:19:19,419 --> 00:19:21,551
-Do you think I'm terrible?
-No.
453
00:19:21,725 --> 00:19:24,206
-No, I-I think you're honest.
-Yeah.
454
00:19:24,380 --> 00:19:25,773
Honest.
455
00:19:25,947 --> 00:19:29,429
Here at the Las Vegas
of playgrounds.
456
00:19:31,431 --> 00:19:33,607
You should talk to her.
457
00:19:33,781 --> 00:19:36,044
You should talk to Kevin.
458
00:19:36,218 --> 00:19:38,307
-Puff?
-Please.
459
00:19:38,481 --> 00:19:40,179
-Want one of these?
No.
460
00:19:40,353 --> 00:19:41,484
Want a cheese puff?
461
00:19:41,658 --> 00:19:42,833
No. No.
462
00:19:43,007 --> 00:19:44,618
No? Can I eat all of them?
463
00:19:44,792 --> 00:19:47,664
Hey. So, my next class starts
in about two minutes.
464
00:19:47,838 --> 00:19:50,798
Listen,
I'm sure that everything is fine
465
00:19:50,972 --> 00:19:52,800
and I'm just being crazy,
but can you please just...
466
00:19:52,974 --> 00:19:54,976
just text me back, let me know
that you guys are okay?
467
00:19:55,150 --> 00:19:56,499
Okay.
468
00:19:56,673 --> 00:19:58,719
Okay, I love you. Bye.
469
00:20:01,635 --> 00:20:03,898
Nice of you to join us.
Sorry.
470
00:20:04,072 --> 00:20:07,249
-I...
-I don't need an apology.
I need you to be present.
471
00:20:09,164 --> 00:20:10,513
I'm sorry.
472
00:20:10,687 --> 00:20:12,733
This is really important.
Just one sec.
473
00:20:23,831 --> 00:20:25,354
What's wrong?
474
00:20:25,528 --> 00:20:27,226
Nothing. Nothing.
475
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,010
It's just,
I told my husband to text me
476
00:20:29,184 --> 00:20:30,838
to make sure
that the kids were okay,
477
00:20:31,012 --> 00:20:33,014
and he hadn't, and then...
I mean, he did.
478
00:20:33,188 --> 00:20:35,495
Sorry, has s...
has something happened?
479
00:20:35,669 --> 00:20:37,845
No. No, they're fine.
480
00:20:38,019 --> 00:20:39,150
They'refine.
481
00:20:39,325 --> 00:20:40,326
I am a total mess.
482
00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:42,197
Um, it's just I haven't
483
00:20:42,371 --> 00:20:44,460
been away from both of them
for this long.
484
00:20:47,202 --> 00:20:51,511
Kate, there were a lot
of applicants for this job,
485
00:20:51,685 --> 00:20:54,209
and you were not
at the top of my list.
486
00:20:54,383 --> 00:20:56,907
I mean,
you have no teaching experience,
487
00:20:57,081 --> 00:21:00,215
and you don't have a degree in
anything even adjacent to music.
488
00:21:00,389 --> 00:21:03,131
But Dr. Salzman
loves your energy,
489
00:21:03,305 --> 00:21:05,699
so here we are.
490
00:21:06,743 --> 00:21:07,831
I get it.
491
00:21:08,005 --> 00:21:09,703
You love your kids.
492
00:21:09,877 --> 00:21:13,315
But if that means that you can't
be present for my students,
493
00:21:13,489 --> 00:21:15,883
this isn't gonna work.
494
00:21:24,239 --> 00:21:26,285
It's awful quiet up there.
495
00:21:26,459 --> 00:21:30,680
Studying is
an inherently quiet activity.
496
00:21:33,422 --> 00:21:35,424
Where are Tess and Alex?
I wanted to say hi.
497
00:21:35,598 --> 00:21:37,600
-Oh, they're in her room.
-For real?
498
00:21:37,774 --> 00:21:40,081
How come they're allowed to be
in her room
499
00:21:40,255 --> 00:21:42,126
with the door closed,
but Malik and I aren't?
500
00:21:42,301 --> 00:21:44,259
-Wait, hold up,
the door's closed?
-Mm-hmm.
501
00:21:44,433 --> 00:21:46,957
Well, that is
definitely not allowed.
502
00:21:47,131 --> 00:21:48,916
I mean, I think...
503
00:21:49,090 --> 00:21:51,658
-Right?
-You didn't discuss
ground rules with Tess?
504
00:21:51,832 --> 00:21:55,401
I was very focused
on the pronouns and the poppers.
505
00:21:55,575 --> 00:21:57,403
But, um...
506
00:21:57,577 --> 00:21:59,318
No, I think it's only fair
507
00:21:59,492 --> 00:22:02,408
that Tess should have to follow
the same rules as Deja, so...
508
00:22:02,582 --> 00:22:04,105
I'm just...
509
00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:06,194
I'm just gonna go up
and check on 'em.
510
00:22:06,368 --> 00:22:07,674
Bethany?
511
00:22:08,718 --> 00:22:11,025
Do tread lightly.
512
00:22:18,554 --> 00:22:20,730
Mom!
513
00:22:20,904 --> 00:22:22,471
What are you doing?
514
00:22:22,645 --> 00:22:24,255
I can't believe you
just barged in here like that.
515
00:22:24,430 --> 00:22:26,562
I didn't barge in. I knocked.
516
00:22:26,736 --> 00:22:28,303
And I would like
for the two of you
517
00:22:28,477 --> 00:22:30,131
to please relocate
to the couch downstairs, okay?
518
00:22:30,305 --> 00:22:32,742
-What? Why?
Hey, no.
519
00:22:32,916 --> 00:22:34,396
It's fine.
520
00:22:35,615 --> 00:22:37,268
Okay. Fine.
521
00:22:37,443 --> 00:22:39,401
Sorry she's such a psycho.
522
00:22:40,446 --> 00:22:41,925
What did you call me?
523
00:22:42,099 --> 00:22:44,319
I'm sorry.
524
00:22:44,493 --> 00:22:46,321
You know what, Alex?
I think maybe it's time for you
525
00:22:46,495 --> 00:22:48,758
to go home so I can talk to
my daughter about her rudeness.
526
00:22:48,932 --> 00:22:50,456
Mom, please.
527
00:22:50,630 --> 00:22:52,458
Hey, no. It's okay.
528
00:22:52,632 --> 00:22:53,807
I'll see you soon.
529
00:22:57,811 --> 00:23:00,509
Tess, it's cool.
530
00:23:00,683 --> 00:23:01,815
Bye.
531
00:23:03,207 --> 00:23:04,948
That was mortifying.
532
00:23:05,122 --> 00:23:06,385
Maybe you should have thought
about that
533
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:07,908
before you called me
out my name.
534
00:23:08,082 --> 00:23:09,431
Yeah, because that's
what you're mad about.
535
00:23:09,605 --> 00:23:11,651
What is that supposed to mean?
536
00:23:12,695 --> 00:23:14,828
Nothing.
537
00:23:15,002 --> 00:23:16,699
Tess?
538
00:23:18,092 --> 00:23:21,051
I saw the look on your face
when you opened the door.
539
00:23:21,225 --> 00:23:22,836
When you saw me with them.
540
00:23:23,010 --> 00:23:25,360
What look? I didn't give a look.
541
00:23:26,317 --> 00:23:28,363
Sure.
542
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:36,502
Oh. Come in.
543
00:23:42,856 --> 00:23:44,553
This is, uh,
544
00:23:44,727 --> 00:23:46,686
this is my friend Miguel.
545
00:23:46,860 --> 00:23:48,296
-He, um...
-Hey.
546
00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:51,168
he was helping me set up
for a proposal tonight.
547
00:23:52,866 --> 00:23:54,694
Yeah, we had a little snafu
with the ring.
548
00:23:54,868 --> 00:23:56,173
-Yeah.
-Butter.
549
00:23:56,347 --> 00:23:58,915
Uh, so it's stuck.
550
00:23:59,089 --> 00:24:01,135
Good luck with that.
551
00:24:02,876 --> 00:24:05,879
Uh, look, Jack,
I'm sorry it took me so long
552
00:24:06,053 --> 00:24:07,837
to get back to you today.
553
00:24:08,011 --> 00:24:09,230
Um...
554
00:24:09,404 --> 00:24:11,406
I was just gathering
my thoughts
555
00:24:11,580 --> 00:24:15,192
or, as my wife would say,
licking my wounds.
556
00:24:15,366 --> 00:24:18,282
Look...
557
00:24:18,457 --> 00:24:21,242
we both know Rebecca's already
made up her mind about you,
558
00:24:21,416 --> 00:24:24,375
with or without my blessing.
559
00:24:24,550 --> 00:24:26,421
So I will...
560
00:24:26,595 --> 00:24:29,946
do the best I can
to be civil to you
561
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:32,906
and to tolerate this marriage.
562
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,431
And I wanted to tell you that
man-to-man.
563
00:24:36,605 --> 00:24:39,042
I promised my wife I would.
564
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,047
:
So...
565
00:24:44,221 --> 00:24:47,529
now I'll let you get back
to whatever this is.
566
00:24:47,703 --> 00:24:48,748
No.
567
00:24:51,098 --> 00:24:52,795
I'm sorry, sir, that's just...
568
00:24:52,969 --> 00:24:55,145
-that's not good enough.
-You know, Miguel, let's just...
569
00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:58,888
Jack is not the kind of man
that you "tolerate"
570
00:24:59,062 --> 00:25:00,237
being married to your daughter.
571
00:25:00,411 --> 00:25:01,891
Jack is the kind of man
that you thank
572
00:25:02,065 --> 00:25:03,589
your lucky stars
that your daughter
573
00:25:03,763 --> 00:25:05,852
was lucky enough to meet,
let alone marry.
574
00:25:08,594 --> 00:25:11,597
Did you know that Jack and I met
when he needed to buy a jacket
575
00:25:11,771 --> 00:25:13,120
just to get
into your country club?
576
00:25:13,294 --> 00:25:15,644
I-I had never seen anybody
577
00:25:15,818 --> 00:25:17,603
look so serious about anything.
578
00:25:17,777 --> 00:25:20,736
I told him, "Just-just relax,
it's, it's just a jacket," but
579
00:25:20,910 --> 00:25:22,999
he said,
"It's not about the jacket, man.
580
00:25:23,173 --> 00:25:25,393
"It's about the girl.
581
00:25:25,567 --> 00:25:27,438
"Everything that I do
582
00:25:27,613 --> 00:25:30,833
from this moment forward
is gonna be about the girl."
583
00:25:31,007 --> 00:25:33,183
And he meant it.
584
00:25:33,357 --> 00:25:34,924
It was about the girl
585
00:25:35,098 --> 00:25:37,144
when he worked his first
construction job for free
586
00:25:37,318 --> 00:25:39,146
because the foreman
couldn't afford to hire him.
587
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,669
It was about the girl
588
00:25:40,843 --> 00:25:42,671
when he moved
into a new apartment,
589
00:25:42,845 --> 00:25:45,500
a place Rebecca
could be comfortable in.
590
00:25:45,674 --> 00:25:47,807
And it was about the girl
591
00:25:47,981 --> 00:25:50,070
every time he ate cup of noodles
592
00:25:50,244 --> 00:25:54,683
because he was scrimping
and saving just to buy the...
593
00:25:54,857 --> 00:25:56,990
ring stuck on my pinky finger
right now.
594
00:25:59,209 --> 00:26:02,386
That is the kind of man
that your daughter is marrying.
595
00:26:02,561 --> 00:26:04,432
And if you can't find it
within yourself
596
00:26:04,606 --> 00:26:05,999
to give him your blessing,
597
00:26:06,173 --> 00:26:07,957
well...
598
00:26:08,131 --> 00:26:09,263
that says a whole lot more
about you
599
00:26:09,437 --> 00:26:11,526
than it does about him.
600
00:26:19,186 --> 00:26:21,188
Do you have any dental floss?
601
00:26:23,538 --> 00:26:25,627
Janet's fingers
turn into sausage
602
00:26:25,801 --> 00:26:27,629
when she has too much salt.
603
00:26:27,803 --> 00:26:29,588
So...
604
00:26:29,762 --> 00:26:32,025
I know a trick
to get that ring off.
605
00:26:34,070 --> 00:26:36,507
Yeah, let me just go check
and see if sh...
606
00:26:36,682 --> 00:26:38,205
Hold that.
607
00:26:42,252 --> 00:26:43,645
Is-is it gonna hurt?
608
00:26:44,690 --> 00:26:45,865
Not much.
609
00:26:46,866 --> 00:26:48,694
Great.
610
00:26:50,739 --> 00:26:53,046
I've been thinking a lot
about my ghost kingdom.
611
00:26:53,220 --> 00:26:56,266
Oh, for the new people,
"ghost kingdom" is
612
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,269
a term that we use
for a hypothetical world
613
00:26:59,443 --> 00:27:03,404
where adoptees imagine who
their birth parents might be.
614
00:27:03,578 --> 00:27:05,624
I used to imagine
Rita Moreno was my mom.
615
00:27:05,798 --> 00:27:07,756
-She's so funny.
616
00:27:07,930 --> 00:27:09,497
I thought we must be related.
617
00:27:09,671 --> 00:27:13,240
Of course, when I actually met
my birth mother, she was
618
00:27:13,414 --> 00:27:14,589
nothing like Rita.
619
00:27:14,763 --> 00:27:16,243
We didn't have anything
in common.
620
00:27:16,417 --> 00:27:17,592
Or maybe we did.
621
00:27:17,766 --> 00:27:19,333
It's hard to tell.
622
00:27:19,507 --> 00:27:22,510
I can't speak Spanish,
and she can't speak English.
623
00:27:23,554 --> 00:27:27,384
Lately, I've been letting myself
feel something
624
00:27:27,558 --> 00:27:31,345
I think I've known deep down
for my entire life.
625
00:27:32,781 --> 00:27:35,262
I wish I'd never been adopted.
626
00:27:35,436 --> 00:27:38,874
I made the mistake of telling
my adopted family
627
00:27:39,048 --> 00:27:40,528
how I've been feeling.
628
00:27:40,702 --> 00:27:42,443
I said, "I love you,
629
00:27:42,617 --> 00:27:45,620
"but I wish I never knew you.
630
00:27:45,794 --> 00:27:48,667
"Because if I could go back
in time and choose,
631
00:27:48,841 --> 00:27:52,932
I'd choose to stay
with my bipolar birth mom."
632
00:27:55,151 --> 00:27:58,111
Now half of them
won't talk to me.
633
00:28:16,085 --> 00:28:18,087
Okay. Amelia,
634
00:28:18,261 --> 00:28:20,437
at the top of the song,
it says "allegro."
635
00:28:20,611 --> 00:28:21,656
What does that mean?
636
00:28:21,830 --> 00:28:23,266
Uh, brisk and lively.
637
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,008
Good. Yeah, well...
638
00:28:26,182 --> 00:28:27,444
let's remember that
639
00:28:27,618 --> 00:28:28,532
and go again.
640
00:28:28,707 --> 00:28:29,533
Can I just say one thing?
641
00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:32,319
-Real quick.
-Sure.
642
00:28:32,493 --> 00:28:34,364
So, Eliza,
the woman who's singing,
643
00:28:34,538 --> 00:28:36,802
she was basically told
her entire life
644
00:28:36,976 --> 00:28:37,977
that she was worthless.
645
00:28:38,151 --> 00:28:39,718
And now she's finally realizing
646
00:28:39,892 --> 00:28:42,633
that she is smart
and she is a badass.
647
00:28:44,331 --> 00:28:46,637
I don't know
if I'm allowed to say that.
648
00:28:46,812 --> 00:28:48,204
Sorry. But, on top of all that,
649
00:28:48,378 --> 00:28:50,032
she just finished dancing
650
00:28:50,206 --> 00:28:52,818
with her cranky but charming
tutor for the first time,
651
00:28:52,992 --> 00:28:54,994
and-and it's making her
just feel
652
00:28:55,168 --> 00:28:56,647
so excited she could burst.
653
00:28:56,822 --> 00:28:57,953
So it's safe to say
654
00:28:58,127 --> 00:28:59,650
that when you're singing
the song,
655
00:28:59,825 --> 00:29:02,001
that you would feel
all the things.
656
00:29:03,002 --> 00:29:05,004
Okay. Got it.
657
00:29:06,005 --> 00:29:07,746
Okay. W-Well, let's...
658
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,835
-let's go again.
659
00:29:44,695 --> 00:29:47,350
I did not tread lightly.
660
00:29:47,524 --> 00:29:49,657
So I heard.
661
00:29:51,964 --> 00:29:53,748
Tess said
she saw a look on my face
662
00:29:53,922 --> 00:29:55,228
when I walked in
on her and Alex,
663
00:29:55,402 --> 00:29:59,058
saw me reacting to them...
being together.
664
00:29:59,232 --> 00:30:00,755
Mm.
665
00:30:05,368 --> 00:30:07,893
I don't know
what's wrong with me.
666
00:30:08,067 --> 00:30:11,244
When Tess first came out,
I was totally fine.
667
00:30:11,418 --> 00:30:12,898
And now I-I...
668
00:30:17,206 --> 00:30:19,252
I think
I'm having trouble letting go.
669
00:30:20,906 --> 00:30:23,169
What are you letting go of?
670
00:30:24,213 --> 00:30:26,128
She's my firstborn daughter.
671
00:30:27,434 --> 00:30:29,610
I had all these dreams
about what it was gonna be like
672
00:30:29,784 --> 00:30:31,438
when she got older, you know?
Like...
673
00:30:31,612 --> 00:30:32,961
she'd talk to me
about the boys she liked
674
00:30:33,135 --> 00:30:35,616
or I'd help her get ready
for dates.
675
00:30:35,790 --> 00:30:37,792
One day, I would watch her
walk down the aisle
676
00:30:37,966 --> 00:30:40,360
towards a man every bit as good
as her father.
677
00:30:42,797 --> 00:30:46,061
I thought I had let all that go,
but I...
678
00:30:47,106 --> 00:30:50,457
Well, it's-it's more
than letting go.
679
00:30:50,631 --> 00:30:52,938
You have to adjust.
680
00:30:55,462 --> 00:30:57,116
It's part of being a mother.
681
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,468
This is the part where you let
go of what you thought would be
682
00:31:01,642 --> 00:31:04,514
and adjust to what is.
683
00:31:04,688 --> 00:31:06,299
When you left dance,
684
00:31:06,473 --> 00:31:09,650
I thought that you would go
into academics, like me.
685
00:31:09,824 --> 00:31:12,000
I thought you would choose
to stay in D.C.
686
00:31:12,174 --> 00:31:13,697
and be close, always.
687
00:31:13,872 --> 00:31:17,397
See, that was my picture
of your life.
688
00:31:18,398 --> 00:31:20,313
But the real picture--
689
00:31:20,487 --> 00:31:23,316
the woman you actually become,
690
00:31:23,490 --> 00:31:26,928
the things you actually want--
691
00:31:27,102 --> 00:31:28,930
they're just as beautiful.
692
00:31:34,631 --> 00:31:36,938
It took me some time
to see that.
693
00:31:38,984 --> 00:31:41,856
Too much time, if you ask me.
694
00:31:43,205 --> 00:31:46,165
So I hope that you
will adjust quicker, Bethany.
695
00:31:47,818 --> 00:31:50,821
Time is so precious.
696
00:31:50,996 --> 00:31:53,302
You blink
697
00:31:53,476 --> 00:31:56,305
and your daughter's grown
698
00:31:56,479 --> 00:31:58,003
and you're holed up
in her house,
699
00:31:58,177 --> 00:32:01,397
trying to make up for 20 years
700
00:32:01,571 --> 00:32:04,096
of not adjusting.
701
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,654
Okay.
702
00:32:40,828 --> 00:32:43,483
Twins are finally in bed
after a long day at the park.
703
00:32:43,657 --> 00:32:46,703
Had to sing "Rock-a-bye Baby"
to them about ten times.
704
00:32:48,575 --> 00:32:50,925
It's some bleak, bleak lyrics,
but it works.
705
00:32:51,099 --> 00:32:53,493
Least it's not
"Ring Around the Rosie."
706
00:32:53,667 --> 00:32:55,451
-Yeah.
-'Cause that song
is the stuff of nightmares.
707
00:32:55,625 --> 00:32:57,018
-Oh, that song is just brutal,
isn't it?
708
00:32:59,107 --> 00:33:00,891
Kevin...
709
00:33:01,066 --> 00:33:03,590
-Yeah?
-I...
710
00:33:03,764 --> 00:33:06,593
I don't think I want
to get married at the Villas.
711
00:33:10,901 --> 00:33:12,947
You don't?
712
00:33:14,949 --> 00:33:17,473
So, my father was a pretty...
713
00:33:17,647 --> 00:33:20,302
withholding man.
714
00:33:20,476 --> 00:33:22,348
Emotionally, I mean.
715
00:33:22,522 --> 00:33:25,307
And, um, he wasn't around a lot
when I was little.
716
00:33:25,481 --> 00:33:28,049
-Traveled a lot.
-Mm.
717
00:33:28,223 --> 00:33:29,616
So, my mother...
718
00:33:29,790 --> 00:33:31,879
One day,
she finally put her foot down.
719
00:33:32,053 --> 00:33:34,099
You know, told him to...
720
00:33:34,273 --> 00:33:36,840
"Take us with you
on one of your business trips.
721
00:33:37,015 --> 00:33:39,800
Make time for us, or else."
722
00:33:39,974 --> 00:33:43,021
He took us to Japan.
723
00:33:44,152 --> 00:33:45,936
Which explains
the Kabuki mask collection.
724
00:33:46,111 --> 00:33:49,636
-Yeah.
-We spent a perfect day
725
00:33:49,810 --> 00:33:52,639
walking around
the most beautiful garden
726
00:33:52,813 --> 00:33:54,989
I have ever seen.
727
00:33:55,163 --> 00:33:59,037
My mom laughed a lot.
728
00:33:59,211 --> 00:34:03,128
I remember my dad
held both our hands,
729
00:34:03,302 --> 00:34:06,261
actually asked me questions
about school.
730
00:34:06,435 --> 00:34:10,091
We had a picnic
under the cherry trees.
731
00:34:12,311 --> 00:34:15,140
For one day...
732
00:34:15,314 --> 00:34:17,925
we were a family.
733
00:34:19,361 --> 00:34:23,017
A few weeks later, they told me
they were getting divorced.
734
00:34:24,018 --> 00:34:25,672
I guess you would think
735
00:34:25,846 --> 00:34:28,153
that would have soured the trip
in my mind, but...
736
00:34:28,327 --> 00:34:31,373
I have spent a lifetime
737
00:34:31,547 --> 00:34:35,029
chasing the happiness
I felt in that garden.
738
00:34:38,902 --> 00:34:41,514
So, there's this garden
739
00:34:41,688 --> 00:34:43,646
that I really love.
740
00:34:43,820 --> 00:34:46,388
It's not as fancy as the Villas,
741
00:34:46,562 --> 00:34:49,174
but it's outside,
and it's-it's COVID-safe,
742
00:34:49,348 --> 00:34:53,700
and it has
a lot of the same trees
743
00:34:53,874 --> 00:34:55,267
-and flowers.
-Yes.
744
00:34:56,877 --> 00:34:59,053
Yeah, let's get married there.
745
00:34:59,227 --> 00:35:00,533
Just like that?
746
00:35:01,534 --> 00:35:02,883
Just like that.
747
00:35:03,884 --> 00:35:05,886
I mean, it sounds perfect.
748
00:35:09,063 --> 00:35:11,109
Come in.
749
00:35:14,329 --> 00:35:15,722
Hey.
750
00:35:17,158 --> 00:35:18,725
Hey.
751
00:35:22,032 --> 00:35:23,556
Tess.
752
00:35:27,168 --> 00:35:30,389
You will not call me names.
753
00:35:30,563 --> 00:35:32,652
Not in front of anyone.
754
00:35:32,826 --> 00:35:34,306
Not in private.
755
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,874
That is not the way we do things
in this house.
756
00:35:38,875 --> 00:35:40,747
Understood?
757
00:35:42,792 --> 00:35:44,229
Understood.
758
00:35:46,883 --> 00:35:49,103
But...
759
00:35:49,277 --> 00:35:52,498
you should be able to tell me
how I make you feel.
760
00:35:55,979 --> 00:35:57,764
If you saw anything
on my face today
761
00:35:57,938 --> 00:36:00,201
when I saw you and Alex
together on your bed,
762
00:36:00,375 --> 00:36:02,464
you need to know this.
763
00:36:02,638 --> 00:36:06,294
It has nothing to do
with how much I love you.
764
00:36:07,339 --> 00:36:10,168
Actually, it has nothing to do
with you at all.
765
00:36:11,212 --> 00:36:13,780
Because you're perfect.
766
00:36:15,216 --> 00:36:17,175
Just the way you are.
767
00:36:18,785 --> 00:36:20,787
And Alex seems pretty perfect
768
00:36:20,961 --> 00:36:23,181
just the way they are.
769
00:36:31,319 --> 00:36:33,191
Is there anything else
you want to say to me?
770
00:36:39,588 --> 00:36:41,547
I know you're trying.
771
00:36:43,026 --> 00:36:45,899
I also know you don't have
to try with Annie.
772
00:36:46,073 --> 00:36:47,944
Or Deja.
773
00:36:48,989 --> 00:36:51,034
And it makes me sad.
774
00:36:51,209 --> 00:36:53,646
Makes me wonder
if we'll ever be close again.
775
00:36:54,690 --> 00:36:57,127
Oh, Tess, of course we will.
776
00:36:57,302 --> 00:36:59,782
We areclose now.
777
00:36:59,956 --> 00:37:03,612
We are, and we always will be.
778
00:37:05,005 --> 00:37:07,007
Okay, Mom.
779
00:37:18,236 --> 00:37:19,498
And then my speech
helped Amelia soar.
780
00:37:19,672 --> 00:37:20,934
I mean,
Philip wouldn't admit it,
781
00:37:21,108 --> 00:37:22,501
but we both know
that she really soared.
782
00:37:22,675 --> 00:37:24,503
Bam! Hell yeah, she did.
783
00:37:24,677 --> 00:37:27,201
Nobody summarizes My Fair Lady
784
00:37:27,375 --> 00:37:28,942
-like you, babe.
-Thank you.
785
00:37:30,857 --> 00:37:33,686
You okay? I'm sorry,
I know I've been talking
786
00:37:33,860 --> 00:37:36,254
-a mile a minute
since I got home.
-Uh, yeah.
787
00:37:36,428 --> 00:37:39,648
No, I'm fine.
I'm just really, really tired.
788
00:37:41,433 --> 00:37:44,174
I do have some good photos
from today. You want to see?
789
00:37:44,349 --> 00:37:47,177
What? Holding out on me?
790
00:37:47,352 --> 00:37:49,876
Babe.
791
00:37:50,050 --> 00:37:53,140
Look at him on a swing! Aw.
792
00:38:00,974 --> 00:38:02,584
Hello?
793
00:38:02,758 --> 00:38:05,239
Oh, hey.
Uh, hey, Miguel. It's Nicky.
794
00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:09,374
Oh. Uh... hey.
795
00:38:09,548 --> 00:38:11,941
Uh...
796
00:38:12,115 --> 00:38:15,423
I j... I just want to apologize
for the way I acted before.
797
00:38:15,597 --> 00:38:18,774
Th-That was...
That was my own stuff.
798
00:38:18,948 --> 00:38:20,210
Had nothing to do with you.
799
00:38:20,385 --> 00:38:22,735
Okay. Um...
800
00:38:22,909 --> 00:38:24,780
Well, thank you.
801
00:38:24,954 --> 00:38:26,869
Okay. Well, anyway, that's it.
802
00:38:27,043 --> 00:38:28,436
Um...
803
00:38:28,610 --> 00:38:30,090
Sorry to bother you.
804
00:38:30,264 --> 00:38:34,747
-Good night.
-He never replaced you, Nicky.
805
00:38:34,921 --> 00:38:36,444
All right.
806
00:38:36,618 --> 00:38:38,881
Well, my work is done here.
807
00:38:39,055 --> 00:38:41,057
It's all on you now, my friend.
808
00:38:44,060 --> 00:38:47,716
Hey, things go well tonight,
809
00:38:47,890 --> 00:38:49,196
you know, like, she says yes
810
00:38:49,370 --> 00:38:50,980
-and everything...
- She's gonna...
811
00:38:51,154 --> 00:38:54,767
...would you stand
at the altar with me?
812
00:38:54,941 --> 00:38:58,379
You know, maybe say a few words
at the reception?
813
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,948
We both knew what he meant,
814
00:39:02,122 --> 00:39:03,602
but he just, uh...
815
00:39:03,776 --> 00:39:05,125
He couldn't say the words.
816
00:39:05,299 --> 00:39:08,824
He, he couldn't call me
his best man
817
00:39:08,998 --> 00:39:12,567
because I think
that somewhere deep down,
818
00:39:12,741 --> 00:39:15,527
he was saving that place
for you.
819
00:39:19,095 --> 00:39:20,488
You know,
820
00:39:20,662 --> 00:39:22,795
if you wanted to,
821
00:39:22,969 --> 00:39:25,450
we could do the rehearsal dinner
toast together.
822
00:39:25,624 --> 00:39:28,670
Oh, no, I-I don't want
to give a toast. I just...
823
00:39:28,844 --> 00:39:31,630
I just didn't like the idea
that you were gonna do it.
824
00:39:54,348 --> 00:39:56,568
Hey, Kev.
825
00:39:56,742 --> 00:39:58,961
Saw your big news
in the tabloids.
826
00:39:59,135 --> 00:40:00,354
Yeah.
827
00:40:00,528 --> 00:40:01,964
Thank God
the five-o'clock shadow
828
00:40:02,138 --> 00:40:03,618
is quarantine chic, right?
829
00:40:03,792 --> 00:40:05,141
Um...
830
00:40:05,315 --> 00:40:08,318
So, so, Randall,
the reason I'm calling
831
00:40:08,493 --> 00:40:10,669
is, uh...
832
00:40:13,715 --> 00:40:16,849
I'm calling to ask you
to be my best man.
833
00:40:18,851 --> 00:40:20,026
Absolutely.
834
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,071
Uh, I'd be honored.
835
00:40:22,245 --> 00:40:24,422
I've been putting
this call off all day.
836
00:40:24,596 --> 00:40:26,380
All week, if I'm being honest.
837
00:40:26,554 --> 00:40:29,818
And it's not because I thought you'd say no. It's just...
838
00:40:30,906 --> 00:40:32,430
When you stand up there
next to me,
839
00:40:32,604 --> 00:40:34,040
I don't want there
to be anything between us.
840
00:40:34,214 --> 00:40:36,434
And-and I know
when the twins were born,
841
00:40:36,608 --> 00:40:38,566
you said it was a bad time
to talk about our childhoods
842
00:40:38,740 --> 00:40:40,568
and, uh, how you felt
growing up in our family...
843
00:40:40,742 --> 00:40:43,223
Hey, Kev, I don't want you
to take this the wrong way,
844
00:40:43,397 --> 00:40:44,877
but I don't think now
is the right time
845
00:40:45,051 --> 00:40:46,356
to have this conversation,
either.
846
00:40:46,531 --> 00:40:48,402
It's, uh, it's been a day.
847
00:40:48,576 --> 00:40:50,970
I agree. No, I-I don't want
to have that talk right now.
848
00:40:51,144 --> 00:40:52,711
In fact, I don't want to have it
over the phone at all.
849
00:40:52,885 --> 00:40:54,190
I was, um...
850
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,674
What if I come... What if I come
out? What if I come see you?
851
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,112
You... Really?
852
00:41:03,286 --> 00:41:06,289
Yeah, yeah. You know, I talked
it over with Madison, and I got
853
00:41:06,464 --> 00:41:07,900
some free time.
What if I come out?
854
00:41:08,074 --> 00:41:10,380
You know,
after we all get our shots?
855
00:41:10,555 --> 00:41:12,295
Yeah, brother.
856
00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:14,297
That's-that's cool with me.
857
00:41:14,472 --> 00:41:17,170
Well, all right, then.
I'll, you know...
858
00:41:17,344 --> 00:41:18,998
I'll book a flight.
859
00:41:19,172 --> 00:41:20,739
Okay.
860
00:41:20,913 --> 00:41:23,089
Talk to you later.
861
00:41:39,235 --> 00:41:41,368
Manny say what?
