EMILY. AH--OH.

[gasps] OH.

OH, NO.

[laughs]

YOU...

[giggles]

HERE YOU GO.

[sighs]

AAH!
AAH!

[woman screams]

[coughs violently]

[laughter]

AH!

LET ME IN!

[squeaks]
AH!

[grunts]
AGH!

I'M SORRY.

THANKS.

[silently]
BYE-BYE.

HMM!

[classical music ends]

HEY, GUYS.

MISS HEWITT.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I'VE GOT A HUGE ALGEBRA TEST
COMING UP.

OKAY, WELL,
LET'S GET TO IT.

OH, HI.

YOU KNOW,
YOU ARE TRULY A WONDER.

I DON'T KNOW
HOW YOU DO IT.

SCHOOL, WORK,
HERE AT NIGHT.

YEAH, I--I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH
OF A WONDER I AM.

I GOT LAID OFF.

SO I JUST HAVE
TO FIND A NEW JOB.

OH, WELL, I'M SORRY
TO HEAR THAT.
YEAH.

WELL, SOMETHING'LL COME UP.
IT ALWAYS DOES.

YEAH.
WE'LL KEEP THE FAITH.

HOW'S JERRY?

UH, DAD IS, UM...

HE'S OKAY.

AH.

WELL, I'LL SAY
A PRAYER FOR HIM.
OKAY.

OKAY, GUYS.

LORRAINE, YOU WANT
TO BRING THAT UP?

IT'S ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

(Jerry)
KATIE, HANG ON A MINUTE.

[breathless]
WELL, I MEAN, YOU'VE BEEN
WORKING SO MUCH LATELY,

WE NEVER GET A CHANCE
TO TALK.

OH, DADDY, I PROMISE
WE'LL TALK LATER, OKAY,

BECAUSE I JUST HAVE TO FINISH
UNLOADING THESE GROCERIES,

AND THEN I HAVE TO GET
YOUR DINNER READY.

OH, MY GOD,
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

I FORGOT TO PICK UP
YOUR MEDICINE.

BUT THAT CAN WAIT
UNTIL I'M DONE SAYING

WHAT I HAVE TO SAY,
OKAY?

I THINK YOU'RE SPENDING

WAY TOO MUCH TIME
WORRYING ABOUT ME,

INSTEAD OF CONCENTRATING
ON YOURSELF.

DADDY, I LIKE WORRYING
ABOUT YOU.

OKAY?

WELL, I--

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT,
WELL, MAYBE,

THE NEXT JOB YOU GET,
YOU'LL HAVE A LITTLE MORE...

FREEDOM.

SO THAT YOU COULD GO OUT
ON A DATE SOME TIME.

OOH, I'M NOT GONNA DISCUSS
DATING WITH MY DAD.

WELL, JUST REMEMBER
WHAT I SAID.

FOR ME, OKAY?

BECAUSE LIFE CAN JUST SPEED
YOU BY, KATIE.

ALL WITHOUT YOU
EVEN REALIZING IT.

OKAY, DADDY.

I KNOW YOU ALWAYS WANTED
TO TEACH...

AND HAVE A FAMILY.

I JUST WANT
TO MAKE SURE

THAT YOU REMEMBER YOUR DREAMS
AS WELL AS I REMEMBER THEM.

OKAY?
OKAY.

OKAY.

THAT'S IT.
THAT'S ALL I WANT TO SAY.

OKAY. GOOD.

FOR NOW.

[coughs]

GOOD TALK.
THAT WAS A GOOD TALK.

DADDY?

YOU KNOW
I'M GONNA COME TACKLE YOU

AND TAKE THAT CANDY BACK,
RIGHT?

I LOVE YOU
BIG AS THE SKY, KATIE.

BUT I THINK
I'M GONNA KEEP THESE.

[Jerry laughs]

[sings]

MM. MM-MM.

WELL, WE'VE USED EVERY NANNY
AVAILABLE AT THE AGENCY,

THOUGH IT'S HARD
TO BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE.

SO IT'S GONNA TAKE ME

A FEW DAYS
TO FIND SOMEBODY NEW.

BUT WHEN I DO, I'M GOING
TO ENTRUST IN BOTH OF YOU

THAT YOU'RE NOT GONNA PLOT,
PLAN, OR STRATEGIZE

THE DEMISE OF ANOTHER NANNY,
IS THAT CLEAR?

IS THAT A DEAL, BEN?

DEAL.

DEAL.

[sighs]
GOOD.

THANK YOU.

BEN, PLEASE GO TO YOUR ROOM,
I NEED TO SPEAK TO YOUR SISTER

FOR A SECOND.
OKAY.

(David)
SWEETHEART, COME ON.

I'M BY MYSELF HERE.
I NEED YOUR HELP.

IT'S BEEN HARD
ON ALL OF US,

AND I KNOW THAT.

AND I KNOW
IT'S ESPECIALLY HARD ON YOU

BECAUSE YOUR BIRTHDAY'S
COMING UP.

AND OF COURSE,
WITH MOM'S--

I'M FINE.

BUT I HAVE
A LOT OF HOMEWORK TO DO.

SO CAN I GO NOW?

YEAH, YOU CAN GO.

LOOK, I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW

THAT IF YOU HAD ANYTHING,
YOU COULD--

YUP.
THANKS, DAD.

YOU COULD TALK TO ME!
I'M HERE FOR YOU.

HELP ME.

[sniffles]

I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE
THE NEXT EPISODE

OF MY FAVORITE
DAYTIME DRAMA.

RAY LOVES LISA.

OH, SHUT UP.
[laughter]

SHUT UP.

I'M SERIOUSLY
NOT YOUR BEST FRIEND ANYMORE.

I'M NOT KIDDING.
IT'S OVER.

MORNING, LADIES.

HI, RAY.
LISA.

HEY, RAY.

HEY, LISA,

JUST WANT TO SAY THAT YOU, UH,
LOOK GORGEOUS THIS MORNING.

THANK YOU, RAY.

HEY, RAY, THAT IS
SO COINCIDENTAL

BECAUSE WE WERE
JUST TALKING ABOUT YOU.

NO KIDDING.

NOT REALLY. NO.
YEAH, WE WERE.

REMEMBER?
NO.

YOU HAD TO SIT HERE.

MM-HMM, OF COURSE I DID.

SO I-I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

SO WHY AREN'T YOU GIVING
THIS GUY A CHANCE?

HE'S, BY THE WAY, CUTER

THAN ANY GUY YOU'VE
EVER GONE OUT WITH BEFORE.

AND HE'S SO SWEET.
AND HE LIKES YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING,
TALKING TO ME ABOUT DATING?

WHEN'S THE LAST TIME

YOU WENT ON A DATE?

YEAH, I'LL GET RIGHT
ON TOP OF THAT,

AS SOON AS I FIND A NEW JOB
AND FINISH SCHOOL.

HEY, UH, KATE,

I HAVE A SISTER
THAT RUNS AN AGENCY

FOR HOUSEKEEPERS AND NANNIES
AND THAT SORT OF THING.

OH, REALLY?

I'LL CALL MY SISTER ON MY BREAK.
HOW DOES THAT SOUND?

THANKS, RAY.
THAT'S SO NICE.

I KNOW.
HE'S SWEET.

(David)
I KNOW, I'LL BE HOME
IN TWO HOURS.

I'M GONNA PICK SOMETHING UP
ON THE WAY.

CAN YOU WAIT THAT LONG?

GREAT. THANK YOU.

I LOVE YOU TOO. BYE.

UNBELIEVABLE.

YOU'LL BE HOME
IN TWO HOURS,

SO YOU CAN STILL GO OUT
WITH ME IN FOUR, RIGHT?

I'M GONNA BE SPENDING
MY EVENING

INTERVIEWING ANOTHER NANNY,

WHILE YOU'RE OUT HAVING
A GOOD TIME.

GREAT.

[door opens]

KNOCK-KNOCK.

HI, REVEREND.

HI.

[cell phone rings]
FINISH THIS.

OH, THAT'S PERFECT.

HELLO.

OH, HEY, RAY,
I'M RIGHT IN THE--

OH, YEAH.

UH, YES.

YES.
NO, I CAN.

TELL HIM YES.

OKAY, THANKS, RAY.

BYE.

UM, THE REVEREND'S GONNA FINISH
THIS WITH YOU, OKAY?

UM, I'M SO SORRY,
I HAVE TO RUN OUT

FOR A JOB INTERVIEW.

THAT'S GREAT NEWS.

YEAH, DO YOU MIND
FINISHING WITH HER?

BUT DOES THAT MEAN
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE COMING

AND HELPING US ANYMORE?

NO, NO, I'LL BE BACK.

YEAH.
GOOD LUCK. GOOD LUCK.

[buzzer buzzes]

HELLO.
HELLO.

YOU DON'T LOOK ANYTHING
LIKE THE OTHER NANNIES.

OH.

IS THAT A GOOD THING
OR A BAD THING?

CAN I LET YOU KNOW?
YES.

(David)
BEN?

I'M IN HERE
WITH THE NEW NANNY.

HI.

HI.

YOU, UH, YOU MUST BE KATE.

HI.
DAVID CHANDLER.

HI, DAVID.
IT'S A PLEASURE.

NICE TO MEET YOU.
BEN.

CAN YOU GO FIND
YOUR SISTER, PLEASE?

OKAY.

EMILY!

IF YOU CAN STILL HEAR,
PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES.

PLEASE, COME IN.

COULD I GET YOU ANYTHING?

UH, NO.
NO? OKAY.

I'M GOOD.

LET ME--
LET ME GIVE YOU A TOUR.

OKAY.

YOUR HOUSE IS BEAUTIFUL.

OH, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.

(Ben)
DAD!

I FOUND HER!
OKAY.

HEY, DAD,
CAN I WATCH TV?

BEN,
DID YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK?

APPARENTLY,
I CAN'T EVEN HAVE

A PRIVATE CONVERSATION
IN MY OWN HOME ANYMORE.

I'M GOING UPSTAIRS.

EM.
I DON'T KNOW.

SOME NEW MAID
MY DAD'S INTERVIEWING.

[laughs]

IS SHE 15?

YEAH, OH, SHE'S 15,
BUT SHE'S GOING ON 25.

RIGHT.

ANYWAY, UM...

I CAN HANDLE THE KIDS
IN THE MORNING,

UM, BUT I'LL NEED YOU HERE
AT 3:00

FOR WHEN THEY GET BACK
FROM SCHOOL,

AND YOU'LL HAVE TO STAY
TILL I GET HOME FROM WORK,

WHICH IS USUALLY 7:00
OR 8:00 AT MOST.

WHEN WOULD YOU LIKE ME
TO START?

IS TOMORROW TOO SOON?

THAT'S PERFECT.

REALLY?
YEAH.

[sighs]
THANK YOU.

[laughs]

(David)
OH, YEAH.

IT'S JUST THE THREE OF US.

SO...

SEE YOU TOMORROW.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.

(Jerry)
DID YOU GET THE JOB?

I DID GET THE JOB.

[laughs]

I THINK IT'S GONNA BE
A GOOD ONE TOO.

OH, THAT'S TERRIFIC.

DADDY, YOU SHOULD SEE
THIS HOUSE.

HUH?

IT'S BIGGER
THAN THIS WHOLE COMPLEX.

IT IS, IS IT?
YEAH.

OH, WOW.

NOW I'M GONNA LET YOU SLEEP,
OKAY?

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU,
KATIE.

I LOVE YOU
BIG AS THE SKY.

I LOVE YOU TOO, DADDY.

GOOD NIGHT.

WHAT IS THAT SMELL?

UH, IT'S YOUR DINNER.

(Emily)
I HAVE PLANS

TO GO STUDY
AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE TONIGHT,

SO I'LL JUST GRAB SOMETHING
OVER THERE.

OH, YOUR DAD SAID
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED

TO GO OUT ON SCHOOL NIGHTS.

YOU GUYS WANNA DO
YOUR HOMEWORK AT THE TABLE?

DINNER'S ALMOST READY.

I'LL DO MINE UPSTAIRS.

I CANNOT CONCENTRATE
WITH THAT REEK.

HOW'S IT GOING?

I'VE NEVER DONE MY HOMEWORK
IN THE KITCHEN BEFORE.

YOU'RE KIDDING.

I ALWAYS DID MY HOMEWORK

IN THE KITCHEN
WHEN I WAS A KID.

MY MOM ALWAYS SAID
IT WAS THE BEST PLACE TO DO IT.

YOU KNOW WHY?

BECAUSE YOU CAN'T STARE
AT THE TV,

YOU'RE NEAR THE SNACKS,
WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

BEST PART IS, IF YOU NEED
MY HELP, I'M RIGHT HERE.

I BET YOUR MOM WOULD THINK
IT'S A GOOD IDEA TOO.

WELL, SINCE WE DON'T HAVE
A MOM,

I'D SAY
THAT'S A PRETTY STUPID IDEA.

COME ON, BEN, I'LL HELP YOU
WITH YOUR HOMEWORK UPSTAIRS.

OH, LOOK,
IT WAS YOUR FIRST DAY.

OF COURSE YOU SAID THINGS
THAT YOU WISH YOU HADN'T.

YEAH.

IT'LL GO SO MUCH BETTER
TOMORROW.

RIGHT.
IT'LL BE FINE.

HEY, KATIE,
THAT'S THE SPIRIT, TIGER.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I ALWAYS TRY
TO KEEP IT POSITIVE,

NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION
MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

YEAH.

YOU NEVER KNOW
WHEN SOMEONE'S GONNA CHANGE

THEIR MIND
ABOUT YOU.

WELL, OH, UH,
THANKS FOR THAT, RAY.

THAT'S REALLY GOOD ADVICE.

GO OUT WITH HIM.

I WILL THINK
ABOUT IT.

HEY, RAY,

YOU KNOW WHAT,
I THINK YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE,
EMILY AND BEN,

THEY PROBABLY JUST NEED A LITTLE
BIT OF TIME TO GET USED TO ME.

IT'S GONNA BE FINE.

IT CAN'T GET
ANY WORSE, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

RIGHT.

EMILY.
WHAT?

YOU HAVE LAUNDRY?
NO.

NOTHING.
JUST THE MAID.

[laughs]

HEY, THERE YOU ARE.

HEY, WHAT'S HAPPENING?

NOTHING MUCH.

HOW'S YOUR HOMEWORK GOING?

I'M ALMOST FINISHED.

OH, GOOD.

HEY, CAN I HELP YOU
WITH THE LAUNDRY?

SURE. YEAH.
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO?

OH, YEAH.

I'VE DONE IT
MORE THAN A COUPLE TIMES.

[phone ringing]

I'LL GET THAT.

[phone ringing]

HELLO.

HELLO?

OH, SORRY.
WRONG NUMBER.

I'M--I'M GONNA GO FINISH UP
MY HOMEWORK.

OKAY.

[water running]

[laughter]

I'M HOME.

UH...

UH...

HELLO.

(Ben)
DAD.

HEY, GUYS.

HI, DADDY.
HI.

HOW ARE YOU?
OH, WOW.

WHAT'D I DO TO DESERVE THIS,
HUH?

WE JUST LOVE YOU.
THAT'S ALL.

MWAH.

WHERE'S KATE, HUH?
HUH?

HEY, GUYS.

HI, KATE.
HI, KATE.

HI.

HELLO.

UH, ARE YOU HUNGRY?

YEAH, ACTUALLY, I'M STARVING.
ARE YOU OKAY?

I'M GREAT.
EVERYTHING'S OKAY?

I'M GREAT. YES.
EVERYONE'S GREAT, RIGHT?

REALLY?

YEAH, WE JUST--
WE HAD A MINOR MISHAP

IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM.

HEY, KATE,
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE OFF?

GREAT.
I CAN PUT THE DISHES AWAY.

I SHOULD FINISH THE--
I GOT EVERYTHING.

OH, GREAT, I FORG--

UM...SORRY,
I, UH...

LOOK, I'M NOT...

KICKING YOU OUT
OR ANYTHING.

I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT YOU
TO LEAVE,

BUT, YOU KNOW,
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,

YOU MIGHT WANT TO GO HOME

AND DRY OFF.

OKAY, GREAT. BYE.
COME BACK TOMORROW.

(David)
WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW,
RIGHT, KATE?

KATE?

(Jerry)
DID THOSE KIDS MAKE AN EFFORT

TO GET TO KNOW YOU
TODAY?

OH, YEAH.

THEY MADE A HUGE EFFORT
TO GET TO KNOW ME.

IN FACT, BEN OFFERED
TO HELP ME WITH THE LAUNDRY.

WHY DON'T I FEEL
THAT WAS A GOOD THING?

WELL, BECAUSE IF YOU CONSIDER ME
HAVING TO CLEAN UP

FOUR INCHES OF SOAP SUDS
OFF THE FLOOR

BEFORE DAVID GOT HOME
A GOOD THING,

THEN THAT COULD BE WHY.

[chuckles]

THAT'S NOT FUNNY,
DADDY.

YEAH, IT IS A LITTLE BIT.

IT IS A LITTLE FUNNY.

THESE KIDS ARE TESTING
THE WATERS.

THE SOAPY WATERS.

YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN ME
WHEN DAVID GOT HOME.

SOAP IN MY HAIR.

SO MUCH FOR MAKING

A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION,
RIGHT?

EAT.

EAT.

[screams]

[laughs]

YES!

NICE JOB, LOUIE.

WE GOT HER.
YES, WE DID.

[screams]

[laughter]

[screams]

[screams]

[coughs]

OH. TSS.

(man)
OH, DEFINITELY NOT.

MAYBE.
MAYBE.

PUT IT IN THE "MAYBE NOW,
IN A PINCH POSSIBLY" FILE.

HI, DAVID.
HEY.

OH, CERTAINLY NOT.

UGH.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

CAPITAL N PERIOD O PERIOD.

A BURGER?

HEY.

I HOPE THAT'S
FOR THE FRANKLIN MEETING.

CAN I ASK YOU, WOULD YOU, UH,
POSSIBLY ENTERTAIN THE IDEA

OF GOING ON A BLIND DATE
WITH ME?

AND NOT JUST ME, I MEAN,
BUT THE LOVELYLADIES.COM.

NO, I'M NOT GOING
ON A BLIND DATE WITH YOU.

FOCUS, IN 20 MINUTES,
WE'VE GOT A CONFERENCE CALL

WITH THOSE
YAHOOS FROM THE RESTAURANT.

YOU GOING TO A BALL GAME?
WHAT IS THIS?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
IT'S LUNCH.

LUNCH?
YEAH.

LIKE--OH, THIS IS
THE NEW NANNY LUNCH, HUH?

IT'S THE NEW NANNY LUNCH,
OKAY?

IT'S A FEW LEFTOVERS
FROM DINNER LAST NIGHT.

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

IT'S JUST LUNCH?

THERE'S LIKE FIVE COURSES
IN HERE AND HOMEMADE COOKIES.

YEAH,
AND YOU CAN'T HAVE 'EM.

I WANT A NANNY.

[laughs]
YOU NEED MORE
THAN A NANNY.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

HMM.
[rodent squeaks]

HEY, LOUIE.

(Reverend)
NO, IT'S REALLY VERY SIMPLE.

A WINNER NEVER QUITS,
AND A QUITTER NEVER WINS.

AH, THERE SHE IS.

HI, I'M SORRY
I'M LATE.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT,
THAT'S IT.

I NOW LEAVE YOU
IN THE VERY CAPABLE HANDS

OF MISS HEWITT.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

HEY, MISS HEWITT.
HEY, GUYS.

HI, MISS HEWITT.

[screams]

[screams]

COME ON!
WHOO!

[laughs]

(Kate)
I THINK

THAT WE NEED

TO CALL A TRUCE.

I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS HAVE HAD
A LOT OF NANNIES IN HERE.

AND THEY HAVEN'T STAYED,

AND IT'S NOT TOO HARD
FOR ME

TO UNDERSTAND WHY.

HERE'S THE THING.

I'M NOT LEAVING.
IS THAT IT?

YEAH.
OKAY, WELL, THANKS FOR SHARING.

HEY, KATE?
MM-HMM.

CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING
REALLY IMPORTANT?

SURE, YOU CAN TALK TO ME
ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT.

DO I STILL HAVE TO DO
MY HOMEWORK,

EVEN THOUGH IT'S KIND OF WET?

YES.

OH, MAN.

I KNOW.
IT'S A BUMMER.

WANT TO KNOW A SECRET?

OKAY.

YOU KNOW HOW THERE'S ALWAYS

A FEW KIDS IN SCHOOL
THAT KNOW EVERYTHING?

THEY KNOW ALL THE ANSWERS
TO THE TEACHERS' QUESTIONS,

THEY ALWAYS GET "A"s
ON THEIR TESTS.

RIGHT.

WELL, SOMETIMES,
WHEN I WOULD STUDY REALLY HARD

AND DO ALL OF MY HOMEWORK,

THAT KID WAS ME.

SO HERE'S THE THING.

I THINK
THAT FROM NOW ON,

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS DO
YOUR HOMEWORK NEAR ME.

THAT WAY,
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS,

I'M RIGHT HERE
TO HELP YOU.

LIKE YOUR MOM
USED TO HELP YOU?

YEAH.

LIKE MY MOM USED
TO HELP ME.

OKAY.

WILL YOU GUYS BRING ME
YOUR PLATES?

SINCE ALL OF MY PREVIOUS
FREE TIME WAS WASTED

ON DRYING MY HOMEWORK,
I HAVE TO HURRY

SO I'M NOT LATE
FOR MY DANCE CLASS.

I'M SURE YOU DON'T MIND
PICKING UP MY PLATE,

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.

BESIDES, I THINK IT WOULD FALL
UNDER "HOUSEKEEPING."

EM.
HI, DAD.

YEAH. HEY, HEY, BUDDY,
HOW ARE YOU?

HOW WAS YOUR DAY?
IT WAS REALLY GOOD.

YEAH.
AND FUNNY.

REALLY, FUNNY, HUH?
HOW WAS IT FUNNY?

NO REASON.

I'M GOING UPSTAIRS.

HOLD ON A SECOND.
HOLD ON A SECOND.

DID YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK?

YEAH. ASK KATE.

REALLY?
MM-HMM.

HE DID HIS HOMEWORK?

BEFORE DINNER?
YEAH.

HE DID, ACTUALLY,
AND HE STARTED

ON HIS BOOK REPORT
THAT'S DUE NEXT WEEK.

WOW.

I KNOW.

I DON'T THINK
I HAVE THE WORDS

TO EXPLAIN HOW MUCH

OF A HUGE FEAT THAT IS.

USUALLY, WE GET IN A FIGHT
JUST TO GET HIM TO OPEN A BOOK,

AND USUALLY THAT HAPPENS
BEFORE BEDTIME.

SORRY.
THANKS.

[sighs]

LISTEN, KATE, I WANTED
TO APOLOGIZE

FOR EMILY'S BEHAVIOR EARLIER.

TOTALLY RUDE

AND UNCALLED FOR,
AND I APOLOGIZE.

THANK YOU.

IT'S JUST A VERY DIFFERENT
DYNAMIC FOR HER.

SHE HAS SOMEONE NEW
IN HER HOME.

YEAH.

YOU'RE RIGHT, MAYBE.

SO, UH, GOT ANY BIG PLANS

FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING?

YEAH, I'M GONNA TUTOR KIDS
AT MY CHURCH.

WOW. WHAT?
[laughs]

THAT'S GREAT.
UH-HUH.

IT'S JUST THIS LITTLE CENTER
I PUT TOGETHER

A FEW YEARS AGO.

SO IT'S FOR THE KIDS
IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

THEY ALL COME
FROM LOW-INCOME FAMILIES,

SO THEY CAN'T AFFORD TUTORS.

BUT THEY'RE GREAT,
GREAT KIDS.

THAT'S INCREDIBLE.

I, UH, I HAVE TO GO.
YEAH.

WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
OKAY.

GOOD-BYE.

[sighs]

[raspy breathing]

WHAT IS WITH THIS CRAZY THING?

COME ON HERE.

WHERE'D THAT SONG GO?
HUH?

WHATEVER HAPPENED
TO JUST HITTING PLAY?

I CAN'T FIGURE OUT
THIS STUPID THING.

MM-HMM.

I MEAN,
I JUST BARELY TOUCH IT,

AND IT COMES UP
ASKING ABOUT A MENU.

WHAT'S IT THINK,
I'M HUNGRY?

LET'S SEE.

LISA PUT ALL MY FAVORITE SONGS
ON THERE

SO I'D HAVE SOMETHING
TO LISTEN TO,

AND, OF COURSE,
I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING.

HOW'S IT GOING?

OKAY, I JUST--
I'M A LITTLE TIRED.

I'M GONNA GET
SOME BEAUTY SLEEP.

TELL ME
ABOUT YOUR DAY.

MY DAY.

WELL, I THINK
BEN'S COMING AROUND.

WE HAD
A NICE LITTLE MOMENT TODAY.

IN THE KITCHEN.

BONDING IN THE KITCHEN.

LET ME GUESS.

OVER COOKIES?

MATH.

OH, MATH IN THE KITCHEN.

THAT'S LIKE WHEN YOUR MOM

USED TO HELP YOU OUT, HUH?

YEAH.

OH, WHAT ABOUT THE GIRL?
WHAT'S HER NAME?

EMILY.

NOTHING NEW
TO REPORT THERE.

OH, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT
THAT SHE HATES MY GUTS.

OH, WELL,
YOU'LL BRING HER AROUND.

JUST A MATTER OF TIME.

I MEAN, IT WAS HARD
FOR YOU

WHEN YOU WERE HER AGE,
SO YOU CAN SEE

WHERE IT'S GONNA BE HARD
FOR HER.

OKAY, THOSE ARE
THE UPDATES.

SO YOU SHOULD GET
THAT BEAUTY SLEEP

THAT YOU THINK
YOU NEED.

WHAT ABOUT THE--
THE DAD?

DAVID.
DAVID'S FINE.

HE'S, YOU KNOW,
MY BOSS.

UH-HUH.

GOOD NIGHT, DADDY.

NIGHT.

(Lisa)
I WONDER
WHERE OUR BUS DRIVER IS.

YOUR BOYFRIEND, RAY?
DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

I FEEL LIKE HE'S STARTING
TO GROW ON US.

[sighs]
ISN'T HE?

ADMIT IT.

I'M ADMITTING TO NOTHING.

HE'S SO FUNNY.

BESIDES, WHAT HAVE I ALWAYS SAID
ABOUT MY PERFECT MAN?

HE WILL GREET ME
AT THE DOOR...

I KNOW, IN A SUIT.

IN A NICE SUIT
AND FLOWERS.

IT'S ACTUALLY A GOOD THING
THAT YOU'RE NOT TOO SPECIFIC

ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT KIND
OF DOOR IT HAS TO BE.

HMM?

HAVE A LOVELY DAY.

OKAY, CRAZY.

BYE.

HAVE A GOOD ONE.

(Ray)
HELLO, LISA.

HELLO, RAY.

I HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING
FOR YA.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

OH, THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.

PICKED THOSE
MYSELF.

[laughs]

(David)
WOW.

I GOTTA TELL YA,
I THINK THAT WAS

THE WORLD'S LONGEST
CONFERENCE CALL.

WHAT?

UH, NOTHING,

DO YOU ALWAYS WEAR A BLACK TIE
FOR YOUR CONFERENCE CALLS?

NO, NO, NO,
OF COURSE, NO, I DIDN'T--

NO, I PUT THIS ON

AFTER THE CONFERENCE CALL.

I WAS WEARING
JEANS AND A T-SHIRT.

NO, I WOULD NEVER--
I WAS JUST KIDDING.

RIGHT, YOU WERE KIDDING.

OF COURSE.

AND, OF COURSE,
I ALWAYS, LIKE USUAL,

LOOK OUT OF PRACTICE.

I'M NOT USED TO HAVING SOMEBODY
IN THE HOUSE TO TALK TO.

IT'S--IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

I ONLY USUALLY HAVE
EMILY AND BEN...

OR MY WIFE.

OH.

MY WIFE WAS HIT
BY A DRUNK DRIVER AND KILLED

THREE YEARS AGO.

EMILY WAS HAVING
HER 13TH BIRTHDAY AND, UM...

SINCE THEN, IT'S BEEN
REALLY HARD ON ALL OF US.

SO...

I'M SO SORRY.

YEAH.

UM, WHAT IS THAT?

I MEAN, PLEASE TELL ME

MY KIDS HAVEN'T BRIBED YOU
INTO DOING THEIR HOMEWORK.

OH, I, UH--
I JUST--

I'M GETTING
MY TEACHER'S DEGREE.

FINALLY GETTING
MY TEACHER'S DEGREE.

THAT'S FANTASTIC.

IT'S--AND IT SOUNDS CRAZY,

JUST THAT I'VE, YOU KNOW,
WAITED THIS LONG

TO FINALLY GET IT,
BUT IT'S JUST--

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A DREAM
OF MINE TO BE...

A TEACHER.

THAT DOESN'T SOUND CRAZY
AT ALL.

I MEAN, WHAT WOULD BE CRAZY
IS YOU NOT GOING

AFTER YOUR DREAM,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

I DO HAVE ONE CONCERN.

DOES THAT MEAN I'M GONNA HAVE

TO START INTERVIEWING NANNIES
SOON?

I PROMISE I'LL GIVE YOU
PLENTY OF NOTICE.

BYE. THANKS.

SEE YOU LATER. BYE.
THANKS FOR THE RIDE.

BETTER?
PERFECT.

HOW'S THE TIE?
THE TIE'S GREAT.

(David)
YEAH?
HEY, DAD, I'M HOME.

OH, HEY, SWEETIE.

WHAT DO YA THINK?

YOU LOOK SO NICE.

YEAH?

YEAH.
THANKS, HONEY.

[laughs]

KATE, I HAVE
A DANCE RECITAL COMING UP.

SO I HAVE A LOT
OF REHEARSALS.

DO YOU THINK YOU COULD HAVE
MY DANCE CLOTHES

WASHED AND READY
FOR NEXT WEEK?

YES, YES.

UH, JUST LEAVE IT
IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM.

THANKS.

I'M GONNA CHECK ON BEN.
YEAH.

(Kate)
"NEVEL LOOKED BACK TO THE WAY
THAT THEY HAD COME.

"IT SEEMED TERRIBLY FAR.

"SO FAR HE HAD TROUBLE
REMEMBERING

"WHERE THEY'D STARTED.

"BEHIND HIM, BEN SAID
'IT BECOMES EASIER

"AS TIME GOES ON.'

"NEVEL TURNED TO SEE HIM THROW
THE BAG OVER HIS SHOULDER

"AND WALK
TOWARD THE INN'S DOOR.

"'I'LL SEE TO OUR ROOM
SO GOOD NIGHT YOUNG MASTER.'

NEVEL ANSWERED
'GOOD NIGHT TO YOU, SIR.'"

CAN WE READ
ONE MORE CHAPTER?

MM-MM. IT'S TIME FOR YOU
TO GO TO BED.

PLEASE.
YOUR DAD'S GONNA BE HOME
PRETTY SOON.

MAYBE IF YOU SAY PLEASE
ONE MORE TIME.

REALLY?
NO, NOT REALLY.

[giggling]

GOOD NIGHT.
OH, WAIT.

WHAT?

OH.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

[coughs violently]

UH.

DADDY.

YOU OKAY?

YEAH, YEAH, I JUST--I GOT
A LITTLE SOMETHING IN MY THROAT.

YEAH, I'M JUST GONNA CALL DAVID,
AND I'M GONNA TELL HIM

I CAN'T WORK TONIGHT.
NO, NO, NO.

JUST FOR TONIGHT.

I'M GONNA TAKE THIS--
I'M ALL RIGHT.

AND LISA'S COMING BY LATER
TO SEE IF I NEED ANYTHING,

SO YOU JUST GO ON.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, THEN I'M GOING
TO CALL THE DOCTOR,

AND I'M GOING TO ASK HIM
TO BE ON CALL FOR YOU.

NO, YOU'RE NOT.
YES, DADDY.

I'M JUST GONNA HAVE HIM BE
ON CALL FOR ONE EVENING.

I GOT A TICKLE
IN MY THROAT.

HOW SILLY ARE YOU GONNA FEEL
BOTHERING THE BUSY DOCTOR

TO TELL HIM
THAT I'VE GOT A TICKLE?

OKAY.

THAT TICKLE DOESN'T GO AWAY
BY TOMORROW,

I'M CALLING HIM.

FINE.

JUST GO ON.
HERE'S YOUR WATER.

AND YOU'RE GONNA CALL ME
IF YOU NEED ME, RIGHT?

SO I GUESS
JERRY WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

OH, HE SAID SOMETHING
ABOUT YOU STOPPING IN HERE

A FEW TIMES
BETWEEN CLASSES

AND YOUR JOB.

SOME THING ABOUT,
I DON'T KNOW,

GETTING ALL SPRUCED UP
FOR WORK.

SPRUCED UP?
WHO SAYS SPRUCED UP?

[chuckling]
YOUR DAD.

THE DRESS IS TOO MUCH?
NO.

YOU LOOK AWESOME.

FOR A DATE.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

I WILL COME IN
AND CHECK IN A FEW HOURS

ON JERRY, OKAY?
THANK YOU.

BYE.

THANK YOU.
WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU
AT THE END OF THE WEEK.

THAT'S GREAT,
GREAT.

DAVID, THANKS AGAIN.

ABSOLUTELY.
YES, SIR.

JIM, TAKE CARE.

THANKS A LOT. SEE YA.
ALL RIGHT.

OKAY.

OKAY.

WHAT IS GOING ON
WITH YOU?

WHY DON'T YOU GET THAT?

YOU KNOW, YOU RARELY LET ME
DO THE TALKING

ON A BID THIS BIG,
AND RIGHT NOW,

MY THROAT IS ACTUALLY SORE
FROM OVERUSE.

I LEFT YOU THREE MESSAGES
TODAY, YOU KNOW.

YOU DIDN'T RETURN
ONE OF THEM.

YOU KNOW, THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR
CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING.

SO, UH...

WHO IS SHE?

WAIT A MINUTE.

IT'S THE NANNY.

KEEP IT DOWN.

AM I RIGHT?
IS THAT IT?

CHRIS, WILL YOU KEEP IT DOWN?

HOW COULD YOU KEEP THIS
FROM ME,

YOUR PARTNER,
YOUR BEST FRIEND?

I KNOW
YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND, BROTHER,

BUT THERE'S NOTHING
TO TELL YOU.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO,
THAT'S--THAT'S NOT IT.

THERE'S ALWAYS A STORY,
AND IF THERE'S NOT A STORY,

AT LEAST BE CONSIDERATE ENOUGH
TO MAKE ONE UP FOR ME.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO TELL YOU.

OH, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT IS, MAN.

IT'S, LIKE,
SHE MAKES ME SMILE

WHEN I'M AROUND HER,
YOU KNOW.

I HAVEN'T SMILED LIKE THAT
IN YEARS.

SHE'S AMAZING.

I ALSO TURN INTO, APPARENTLY,
A COMPLETE KLUTZ

WHEN I'M AROUND HER.

I MEAN, I GO UP TO HER,
AND I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING,

AND I FEEL LIKE I CAN,
AND I'M LIKE--

AH!

LIKE I'M LIKE AN IDIOT.

A BUMBLING FOOL.

SHE'S SMART.

SHE'S KIND.
SHE'S CARING.

I MEAN, SHE'S--
DO YOU KNOW SHE'S GOING

AFTER A TEACHING DEGREE?

SO SHE'S EDUCATED.
SHE LIKES MY KIDS.

[snickers]
WELL.

WELL WHAT?

WELL, I MEAN, YOU DO PAY HER
FOR THAT.

CHRIS.
SORRY.

I'M TRYING TO BE SERIOUS.

NO, PLEASE,
GO ON, GO ON.

WHAT'S YOUR--
WHAT'S YOUR, UH, PLAN OF ACTION?

THERE'S NO PLAN OF ACTION.

CHRIS, WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THE NANNY.

END OF STORY.

WHOA, WHAT DO YOU MEAN
END OF STORY?

THIS IS LIKE CHAPTER ONE
OF THE STORY.

THIS IS THE FIRST NANNY
THAT HASN'T QUIT

IN A MATTER OF HOURS,
CHRIS, LET ALONE A DAY.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME
TO DO HERE?

SHE'S GREAT WITH THE KIDS,
SHE LOVES BEN,

SHE--YOU KNOW THAT BEN
IS ACTUALLY DOING HIS HOMEWORK

BEFORE DINNER?
REALLY.

AND EM,
DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED.

THIS WOMAN HAS
INCREDIBLE PATIENCE WITH EM.

EVEN WHEN SHE PUSHES
THE ENVELOPE,

AND, HEY, AS HER GODFATHER,

YOU COMPLETELY KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

AND WHAT IF IT DOESN'T WORK OUT
WITH HER?

THEN WHAT?
THEN WHERE AM I?

I'M NOT SCREWING UP
A GOOD THING.

I CAN'T AFFORD TO.

(Ben)
THIS MATH IS TOUGH.

YEAH.
YOU CAN DO IT, THOUGH.

YOU'RE THE SMARTEST KID
I KNOW.

JUST TAKE YOUR TIME
WITH IT.

LET'S SEE
WHAT YOU GOT.

UH, OKAY, HOW DO YOU CHANGE
3/4 INTO A DECIMAL?

(Ben)
MM.

MAYBE BY USING
YOUR DIVISION?

RIGHT.

WAIT.

FOUR GOES INTO THREE
HOW MANY TIMES?

DON'T FORGET
YOUR DECIMAL POINT.

(Ben)
OKAY, HOLD ON.

I GOT IT.

IT'S .75.

THAT'S RIGHT.
GENIUS.

GUILTY.

GOOD JOB, BUDDY.

HEY, DAD.
SHOW ME SOME LOVE.

THAT A BOY.

DAD, YOU SHOULD SEE
HOW EASY MATH IS NOW.

'CAUSE OF KATE.

SHE MADE IT
SO SIMPLE.

NO, IT'S NOT
BECAUSE OF ME.

IT'S BECAUSE YOUR SON

IS INCREDIBLY SMART.

INCREDIBLY SMART, HUH?

[Ben laughs]

WHY, THE ULTRA-LAME
HAPPY PARTY?

WELL, THANKS TO KATE HERE,
YOUR BROTHER NOW LOVES MATH.

AND SINCE YOU USED
TO NOT LOVE MATH,

I'D HARDLY CALL THAT
ULTRA-LAME.

OH, THAT'S WHAT
ALL THE EXCITEMENT IS ABOUT?

MATH?

SERIOUSLY?

DAD, HOW ABOUT WE SAY
I KINDA LIKE MATH?

I DON'T KNOW
IF I COULD EVER LOVE IT.

[laughter]

DEAL.

HEY, HOW ABOUT WE
GO OUTSIDE

AND THROW THE BALL AROUND
A LITTLE BIT BEFORE DINNER?

REALLY? CAN WE?
ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY.

(Ben)
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT,
LET'S GO.

YOU KNOW WHAT MY MOTHER USED
TO SAY TO ME?

DO YOU WANT ME
TO, LIKE, GUESS?

OR IS THIS
ONE OF THOSE QUESTIONS

YOU REALLY DON'T WANT PEOPLE
TO ANSWER?

SHE USED TO SAY,
DO YOU THINK IF YOU STAND

IN FRONT OF THAT REFRIGERATOR
WITH THE DOOR OPEN

FOR LONG ENOUGH
THAT NEW MAGICAL FOOD CHOICES

ARE GONNA APPEAR?

SO LET ME GUESS.

THE END OF THE STORY IS
YOU CLOSE THE DOOR.

UH, NO, ACTUALLY,
I USED TO SAY, "YES.

I DO THINK THAT, MOM."

AND I'D LEAVE
THE DOOR OPEN.

HAVE TO TRY THAT
ON MY DAD NEXT TIME.

WANT ME TO MAKE YOU SOMETHING
TO EAT

BEFORE YOU HAVE TO LEAVE
FOR DANCE CLASS?

IT'S OKAY.
I'LL GRAB SOMETHING THERE.

BUT, UH,
THANKS ANYWAY.

OKAY.

HEY, HOW LONG DID YOU USE

THAT LINE ON YOUR MOM?

UNTIL I WAS 16.

WELL, THAT WAS PROBABLY
A GOOD TIME TO STOP.

'CAUSE IF YOU STAND
IN FRONT OF THE FRIDGE

AS MUCH AS I DO,

YOUR MOM WAS PROBABLY GETTING
TIRED OF HEARING YOU SAY THAT,

OVER AND OVER.

ACTUALLY, I, UM, I THINK
SHE WOULD HAVE LIKED

TO HAVE HEARD ME SAY IT
OVER AND OVER.

FOR ANOTHER HUNDRED YEARS.

WELL, THAT MUST BE
REALLY NICE.

FOR YOU TO HAVE
THAT OPTION.

COMING UP WITH STUPID COMEBACKS
TO SAY TO YOUR MOM.

THIS IS GOOD.

THIS IS THE STUFF
THAT YOU REMEMBER REALLY WELL.

MISS HEWITT?
YEAH.

WHEN I FIRST CAME HERE,
YOU KNOW, FOR HELP,

THINGS WEREN'T SO GREAT.

NOT AT HOME, OR AT SCHOOL,
OR ANYWHERE, REALLY.

IT WAS PRETTY BAD
ALL AROUND.

I REMEMBER.

I REALLY DIDN'T EVEN WANT
TO KEEP COMING HERE,

YOU KNOW, BUT I DON'T KNOW,
FOR SOME REASON, I DID.

AND I GUESS
IT WAS 'CAUSE OF YOU.

OH.

IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, ALL
THE HELP YOU'VE BEEN GIVING ME,

AND TELLING ME HOW SMART
I AM AND STUFF,

AND ALL THE THINGS YOU SAID
I CAN DO WITH MY LIFE?

NOW, I REALLY THINK
I CAN DO ANYTHING.

I JUST WANTED
TO SAY THANKS FOR THAT.

WELL, YOU'RE WELCOME.

ALL RIGHT.

OKAY, SO THIS IS THE PART THAT
YOU'RE REMEMBERING REALLY WELL,

AND THIS IS THE PART
THAT YOU NEED

TO GO OVER AND OVER
A FEW TIMES.

AM I DISTURBING YOU?

WELL, I COULD ASK
THE SAME THING OF YOU.

KATE, YOU'RE NOT DISTURBING ME.

YOU KNOW
YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME HERE.

YOU ALL DONE
FOR THE NIGHT?

OH, YEAH, I'M DONE
WITH WORK AND TUTORING,

AND I JUST HAVE
A FEW HOURS OF STUDYING LEFT.

I JUST THOUGHT I'D COME HERE
AND GET A FEW MOMENTS

OF NOTHINGNESS
BEFORE I GET HOME.

WELL, SOMETIMES,
A BIT OF NOTHINGNESS

CAN CURE A BAD DAY.

YEAH.

I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG
WITH ME.

I'M WATCHING THESE TWO KIDS.

THERE'S THIS LITTLE BOY.
HE'S 9.

HE'S AMAZING.

YEAH.

AND THEN HIS SISTER IS...

UNBELIEVABLE.

SHE'S SO ANGRY

AND HAS SUCH AN ENORMOUS CHIP
ON HER SHOULDER.

AND I DON'T THINK I'M DOING
A VERY GOOD JOB WITH HER.

HER MOM DIED
A FEW YEARS AGO,

AND SHE WAS ONLY 13,
SO.

NOW, IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO,

BUT I-I REMEMBER

A VERY ANGRY,
VERY SAD YOUNG GIRL

WHO, UH, WHOSE FATHER
USED TO DRAG HER TO THIS CHURCH

EVERY SUNDAY.

AND WHEN SHE STARTED OUT,
OH,

SHE WAS
IN A HORRIBLE PLACE.

SOME DAYS, SHE WAS DOWNRIGHT
INCORRIGIBLE.

BUT BIT BY BIT,

SHE--SHE FOUND HER WAY.

SHE STARTED RELATING
TO OTHER PEOPLE,

AND LEARNED
HOW TO RESPECT THEM.

SHE EVEN DID
A LOT BETTER IN SCHOOL.

AND, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES,
I WONDER

WHATEVER HAPPENED
TO THAT YOUNG GIRL.

YEAH, I WONDER
IF SHE TURNED OUT OKAY?

[laughs]

[groans]

NO, YOU--YOU JUST HAVE TO TRUST
IN GOD, KATE.

TRUST THAT YOU'LL BE LED
AND GUIDED

TO FIND THE RIGHT
AND PERFECT WAY

TO REACH
THIS LOVELY YOUNG GIRL.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES,
PEOPLE JUST NEED TO BE SHOWN

HOW TO GET IN TOUCH
WITH THEIR FAITH.

IT WORKED FOR YOU.

ALL THOSE YEARS OF...

AH, YOU'LL DO
JUST FINE.

AND GIVE MY LOVE
TO YOUR DAD.

I WILL.

(David)
ANYBODY HOME?

UH, JUST ME.

JUST YOU, HUH?
YEAH.

SO WHERE ARE THE KIDS?

UH, BEN IS
AT HIS SLEEPOVER,

AND EMILY IS AT DANCE PRACTICE
FOR HER RECITAL.

YEAH. RECITAL.

SO I GUESS, UH,
I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

I'LL SEE YOU
TOMORROW.

UH, KATE,
ACTUALLY, UM...

I JUST WANTED TO ASK YOU
HOW THE EXAM WENT.

OH.

THE EXAM WENT
INCREDIBLE.

YEAH?

AND...
BEN GOT AN A.

THAT'S FANTASTIC.

I KNOW.
HE WAS SO HAPPY.

YEAH, I ACTUALLY MEANT
YOUR EXAM.

OH.

HOW'D YOUR EXAM GO?

UH, IT WENT GREAT.

I GOT AN A AS WELL.

THAT'S GREAT.
THAT'S FANTASTIC.

THAT CALLS
FOR A CELEBRATION.

IT DOES.

WE HAVE TO CELEBRATE.

I MEAN, UNLESS YOU HAVE PLANS.

I DON'T HAVE PLANS.

GREAT.

THEN WE'LL CELEBRATE.

OKAY.

HEY.
HEY.

EVERYTHING OKAY?

OH, THANK YOU.

CHEERS.

I, UH--CHEERS.

[clink]

EVERYTHING'S FINE.

I JUST NEEDED TO CALL HOME

AND MAKE SURE
I WASN'T NEEDED.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

[laughs]
I'M SITTING HERE,

SELFISHLY THINKING THAT
YOU'RE ONLY NEEDED IN MY HOME,

AND FORGOT TO REALIZE
THAT MAYBE SOMEBODY

IN YOUR OWN HOME
NEEDS YOU AS WELL.

I'M SORRY.
I APOLOGIZE.

OH, NO, IT'S--IT'S...

IT'S JUST MY FATHER.

SO.
HE'S NOT FEELING WELL.

BUT HE'S HAD HEART DISEASE
SINCE I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL,

SO I'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF HIM
FOR A LONG TIME.

SINCE HIGH SCHOOL?
YEAH.

THAT'S A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY

FOR SOMEBODY IN HIGH SCHOOL.

WISH EM WAS HERE.

IF SHE HEARD THIS,
MAYBE SHE'D GET

A WELL-NEEDED
BEHAVIORAL ADJUSTMENT.

CAN I GIVE YOU
SOME ADVICE?

I MEAN,
DO YOU WANT MY ADVICE?

ON WHAT? ON EM?
ABSOLUTELY.

PLEASE.
YEAH. OKAY.

UH, I JUST THINK
THAT, UH--

SHE HAS A BIRTHDAY COMING UP.

I THINK SHE'S PROBABLY MISSING
HER MOM A LOT,

EVEN MORE THAN NORMAL.
YEAH.

YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT.

AND EITHER
I'M A HORRIBLE PARENT

OR YOU'RE AN INCREDIBLY
INTELLIGENT WOMAN.

NO.

IT'S NEITHER.
TRUST ME.

I JUST--I LOST MY MOTHER
WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL

TO CANCER.

AND I JUST REMEMBER THINKING,
YOU KNOW,

THAT IT WAS SO TOUGH
RIGHT BEFORE SHE DIED,

AND IT TURNS OUT
THAT, UM, THAT WAS NOTHING

COMPARED TO WHAT IT WAS LIKE

THE NEXT FEW YEARS
WITHOUT HER.

I'M SORRY
YOU WENT THROUGH THAT.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN
INCREDIBLY HARD ON YOU.

UH, EMILY'S GONNA BE FINE.

YOU KNOW, SHE JUST NEEDS
A LITTLE MORE TIME.

[laughter]

WHAT?
NOTHING.

WHAT?

UM, I'M JUST GLAD
YOU STAYED.

OH.

UM, I JUST DON'T KNOW
WHY I WOULDN'T STAY.

UH, YOUR HOUSE IS BEAUTIFUL,
YOUR KIDS ARE GREAT.

I LOVE BEING

SOAKED IN LAUNDRY...

DETERGENT.
[laughs]

AND THE SPRINKLER MISHAPS
ARE MY FAVORITE.

AND I THINK I MAY BE IN LOVE
WITH YOUR KILLER PET RAT, LOUIE.

LOUIE, YEAH.

DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP
TOO BAD.

YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
WHO FELL

FOR THEIR WELL-REHEARSED
SHENANIGANS.

THAT'S FOR SURE.

OH, I'M NOT
THE ONLY ONE.
MM-MM.

THAT ACTUALLY DOES MAKE ME
FEEL REALLY GOOD.

REALLY?

TO KNOW THAT I WASN'T
THE FIRST ONE TO FALL PREY.

WELL, YOU'RE NOT,
BUT YOU ARE

THE ONLY ONE WHO STAYED.

AND...

ARE YOU MAKING
A MOVE ON ME?

HOW AM I DOING?

YOU'RE DOING WELL.

(Emily)
THIS IS AWKWARD.

EMILY, YOU'RE HOME.

OH.
GOODNESS.

EMILY, UM...

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE
TO KNOW THAT I WAS HOME.

EM.
APPARENTLY NOT.

EMILY.
GO.

YEAH.
YEAH.

EM.

CAN I COME IN?

I'M REALLY TIRED,
DAD.

CAN IT WAIT
TILL MORNING?

YEAH, SWEETIE,
IT CAN WAIT.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
YOU'RE OKAY WITH--

I'M FINE.

NO BIG DEAL.
I'M JUST TIRED.

OKAY, HONEY.

I'LL SEE YOU
IN THE MORNING.

[sniffles]

WHAT IS IT?

WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU?

OH, IT'S NOTHING.

EMILY'S DANCE RECITAL'S
THIS WEEKEND,

I JUST FEEL
KIND OF NERVOUS.

I JUST WANT IT
TO GO, OKAY.

YOU KNOW,
GOING.

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU GUYS
HAVE KISSED OR ANYTHING.

OH, KATE, HE IS YOUR BOSS.

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO KISS
YOUR BOSS.

JUST DON'T FORGET
EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE

TO GET HERE AND PUT YOURSELF
THROUGH SCHOOL

AND EVERYTHING.

AND YOU BETTER KEEP TAKING
THE BUS WITH ME.

OH, I'M NOT GONNA RIDE
THE BUS WITH YOU ANYMORE.

I'M SORRY.
MM-HMM.

THANKS.
THANK YOU.

THANKS
FOR BEING MY FRIEND.

I HATE YOU.

UH, PARDON ME,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

I'M VERY SORRY
FOR THE INCONVENIENCE HERE.

THIS SHOULDN'T TAKE
MORE THAN A SECOND.

THERE'S SOMETHING
I REALLY NEED TO DO.

LISA HARRISON,
COME HERE.

I LOVE YOU SO,
SO VERY MUCH.

WHOO!
(man)
YEAH!

[cheers,
laughter and applause]

ALL RIGHT,
LET'S GET THIS BABY ROLLING.

LET'S GO.

(Kate)
WHOO!

[laughs]

(David)
HEY, BEN, SWEETHEART,

COME ON, SIT DOWN, CHAMP.

SHE'S COMING.
DON'T YOU WORRY.

GOTTA BE PATIENT.

SHE'S ON HER WAY.

HEY, DAD?

YEAH, WHAT'S UP,
BUDDY?

CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?
YEAH, ALWAYS.

IS IT OKAY THAT I LIKE IT
WHEN KATE'S AROUND?

YEAH, OF COURSE.
[sighs]

WHY WOULDN'T IT BE?

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE BECAUSE IT'D MAKE YOU
THINK THAT I DON'T MISS MOM.

BECAUSE I DO
IN, LIKE, EVERYTHING.

I KNOW YOU DO.

IT'S JUST REALLY NICE
HAVING KATE WITH US NOW.

[laughs]

SO IT'S OKAY?

PAL, IT'S MORE
THAN OKAY.

YOU WANT TO KNOW
SOMETHING ELSE?

WHAT?

I LIKE IT
WHEN KATE'S AROUND TOO.

[chuckles]

HEY, THERE SHE IS.

HI.
DON'T RUN.

WOW, THIS IS THE BEST HUG
I'VE EVER GOTTEN.

REALLY?
YES.

UH, THESE ARE
FOR EMILY.

WOW. THEY'RE GORGEOUS.
COME ON.

DAD SAVED US SEATS.

LET'S GO.
OH, GREAT.

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
THANKS.

EMILY'S GONNA LOVE THE FLOWERS.
PINK'S HER FAVORITE.

(David)
SO WHAT'D YOU THINK?

SHE WAS AMAZING.
REALLY?

MM-HMM.

I THOUGHT SO TOO,
BUT...

THAT'S WHY I KNEW
YOU'D SAY THAT.

[laughs]

IT'S JUST--SHE WANTS TO GO
TO THIS SUMMER DANCE PROGRAM.

YEAH.
AND IT HAPPENS
TO BE ABROAD.

AND IT WOULD BE GOOD
FOR HER.

SHE GETS A CHANCE
TO WORK

WITH ALL THE TOP DANCING
COMPANIES AND EVERYTHING.

I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST GET NERVOUS.

THAT SOUNDS INCREDIBLE
FOR HER.

YEAH, I MEAN,
IT IS.

IT'S JUST I DON'T KNOW
HOW HER DAD'S GONNA HANDLE IT.

HEY, THERE'S EMILY.

YEAH!
OH!

YOU DID SO WELL!

THANK YOU.
YOU DIDN'T FALL.

I TOLD YOU
I WOULDN'T.

PRACTICE PAYS OFF.

SWEETHEART,
THIS IS FOR YOU.

PINK ROSES?

ABSOLUTELY.

[laughs]

YOU REMEMBERED.

ARE YOU KIDDING?

OH, THANK YOU, DADDY.
OH, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

YOU LOOKED BEAUTIFUL
UP THERE.

THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU.

WELL, I DO HAVE
TO CONFESS ONE THING.

KATE WAS THE ONE
WHO ACTUALLY BROUGHT THEM.

NO, ACTUALLY,
YOUR FATHER ASKED ME

TO PICK UP SOME FLOWERS

FOR YOU FROM HIM.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT I DID.

OH, HOW DID YOU KNOW?

I SAW SOME PHOTOS OF YOU
FROM YOUR OTHER RECITALS,

AND YOU ALWAYS HAD
PINK ROSES

IN YOUR HANDS,

SO I JUST FIGURED THEY WERE
YOUR FAVORITE.

UH, ACTUALLY, PINK ROSES
WERE MY MOTHER'S FAVORITE.

YES, BUT FOR A FEW YEARS
THERE, EMILY,

THEY WERE YOUR FAVORITE TOO,
SWEETIE.

YEAH, CAN YOU HOLD THESE
FOR A SECOND?

YEAH.

YOU HAVE TO MEET PAM.

SHE'S SO AWESOME.

GIVE ME ONE MINUTE,
OKAY?

PAM, PAM.

THIS IS MY DAD.

HI, IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.

HOW ARE YOU?
NICE TO MEET YOU.

FINALLY.
FINALLY.

GIVE ME ONE SECOND.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

EM.
AREN'T YOU SO PROUD OF HER?

SHE'S A BALLERINA
AND OUT THE DOOR.

[laughs]

HEY.

THANKS.

SO I JUST WANTED
TO SAY THANK YOU

FOR COMING TONIGHT.

OH.
IT WAS REALLY NICE OF YOU.

AND FOR PICKING UP
THE FLOWERS.

SURE.

MY DAD WANTED ME

TO TELL YOU THAT, UM,
WE'RE GOING OUT

FOR A LITTLE CELEBRATION

TO OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT.

OKAY, THAT SOUNDS GREAT.

YEAH, IT'S KIND
OF A FAMILY TRADITION

AFTER I PERFORM.

AND PAM'S NEVER BEEN THERE,

SO IT SHOULD BE
REALLY, REALLY FUN.

SO HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND,
KATE.

YOU TOO.

HEY.
HI.

HEY.

I TRIED CALLING YOU.

OH, I HAD MY PHONE OFF
DURING THE RECITAL.

IS HE OKAY?

YEAH, HE HAD--
HE HAD A BAD COUGHING FIT,

AND HE WOULDN'T TAKE
HIS MEDICINE,

AND I COULDN'T GET HIM
TO EAT ANYTHING.

NOT EVEN CANDY.
I'M SORRY.

THAT'S OKAY,
THANKS FOR STAYING

DURING YOUR DATE.

OH, YEAH.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS ACTUALLY KIND
OF FUN TO SEE

JERRY BEAT SOMEONE ELSE
AT CARDS FOR A CHANGE.

I'M GONNA GO CHECK
ON HIM.

HEY, DADDY.

LOOK HOW PRETTY
YOU LOOK.

THANKS.

IT'S NOT GONNA GET YOU
OUT OF THE QUESTION.

PRETTY GOOD TIME,
THOUGH, HUH?

YEAH.

I'M JUST TOO TIRED.

I'M JUST TOO TIRED.

THAT'S OKAY, DADDY.

HOW DID EMILY'S
DANCE RECITAL GO?

DID YOU HAVE FUN?

YEAH, I HAD A GREAT TIME.

I LOVE YOU, DADDY.

I'M GONNA BE
RIGHT HERE.

OH, I'M JUST TOO TIRED.

I LOVE YOU.

THANKS, CHAMP.
NO PROBLEM.

NOW I GOTTA TELL YOU,
I REMEMBER IT SO CLEARLY,

IT JUST FEELS
LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.

DAD.

I KNOW, AND IT ALSO FEELS
LIKE IT WAS 16 YEARS AGO.

NO LONG SPEECHES.
OKAY.

LOOK, I KNOW HOW YOU LOVE
TO HAVE

A LOOF PRESENTS
ON YOUR BIRTHDAY.

AND CHRISTMAS
AND EVERY OTHER HOLIDAY,

BUT THIS YEAR, I THOUGHT
IT'D BE OKAY TO GET YOU

ONE PRESENT.

DAD.
ALL RIGHT.

YOU READY?
YES.

OKAY.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEETHEART.

AH!

[screams]

[laughter]

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU, DAD.
YOU'RE WELCOME.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

GO SIT IN IT.

WHOO.
LOOK WHAT I GOT.

LOOK WHAT I GOT.
I GOT KEYS.

[cackles]

NOW HERE'S THE DEAL.

YOU HAVE TO PAY
FOR HALF THE INSURANCE,

YOU UNDERSTAND?

DAD, PLEASE...
COME ON.

YOU KNOW
THAT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.

OH, YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT,
BUT IT WAS WORTH A SHOT.

OH, IT'S SO--
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I LOVE IT.

REALLY?
I LOVE IT.

WELL, GET IN. LET'S SEE WHAT IT
LOOKS LIKE ON YOU.

OKAY.

CHAMP.
UH-HUH?

I THINK THAT'S GOT A SEAT
WITH YOUR NAME ON IT.

ALL RIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

(Ben)
OOH-OOH.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GOING
FOR A SPIN,

BUT I GOTTA GO INSIDE
FOR A SECOND, OKAY?

DON'T LET HER LEAVE.

(Ben)
ALL RIGHT, BUT HURRY.

ALL RIGHT.
I'M COMING.

BETTER HURRY.
GIVE ME TWO SECONDS.

I'M ON MY WAY.
LET'S GO.

YOU WANNA JUST GO?
YEAH, LET'S GO.

[laughs]

I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY
THAT THIS IS THE FIRST PRESENT

I'VE GOTTEN MY DAUGHTER
THAT SHE MIGHT ACTUALLY LIKE.

COME ON, DAD.
LET'S GO FOR A RIDE.
YEAH.

ONE SECOND, SWEETIE,
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

LISTEN, I JUST--
IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

I MEAN,
DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG?

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE

I WASN'T MOVING TOO QUICKLY
THE OTHER NIGHT.

'CAUSE I HAD
A WONDERFUL TIME WITH YOU.

I DID TOO.
YOU DID?

OKAY, GREAT, 'CAUSE I MEAN,
YOU JUST LEFT SO EARLY

AFTER EMILY'S RECITAL
AND EVERYTHING,

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE
YOU'RE OKAY.

LISTEN, UM, ALSO,
I WANTED TO ASK YOU SOMETHING.

YOU KNOW, NOT TO TAKE IT
THE WRONG WAY.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
EMILY AND BEN DON'T KNOW

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN US YET.
OH, OF COURSE.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
YOU AND I ARE ON THE SAME PAGE.

YEAH, I-I THINK.

I THINK I NEED
TO CHECK DINNER.

DAD!

KATE, WHAT I WAS--

DAD, COME ON, LET'S GO!

OKAY, I'M COMING.

(Lisa)
AS YOUR BEST FRIEND,
I FEEL LIKE IT'S MY DUTY

TO TELL YOU THAT I THINK
YOU'RE OVERREACTING...

WHAT?

AND LOOKING TOO MUCH
INTO JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING.

WAIT, SO THEY WENT OUT
AFTER THE RECITAL,

I AM SAYING,
AND DIDN'T INVITE ME.

YOU DON'T THINK THAT'S WEIRD?

NO, IT WAS EMILY
WHO DIDN'T INVITE YOU.

WELL, THAT'S TRUE,

AND DAVID DID SEEM
LIKE HE WAS BUSY

WITH PAM.
AND YOU LEFT.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME.

I JUST, I MEAN,
YOU KNOW ME.

I'M THE SMART GIRL.

IT'S LIKE I GET
AROUND THIS GUY,

AND SUDDENLY I LOSE ALL SENSE
OF NORMAL BEHAVIOR.

[sighs]
WHAT?

JUST SAY IT.
WHAT?

IT'S SIMPLE.
YOU LIKE HIM.

OH.

BACK WHEN EVERYBODY ELSE
WAS GOING

THROUGH DATING 101
IN THEIR 20s,

YOU WERE TAKING CARE
OF YOUR DAD.

EVYTHING YOU'RE FEELING

IS TOTALLY NORMAL.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

THIS IS NEVER GONNA WORK.

WE'RE FROM TWO COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT WORLDS.

I RIDE THE BUS,

AND HE JUST BOUGHT
HIS TEENAGE DAUGHTER

A LUXURY CAR.

I LIVE WITH MY FATHER.

HE LIVES IN THIS HOUSE

THAT'S THE SIZE
OF THIS APARTMENT BUILDING.

HI, PAM,
IT'S EMILY.

HI.

LISTEN, MY DAD HAS
A LOT OF QUESTIONS

ABOUT THE SUMMER DANCE PROGRAM.

AND HE WAS WONDERING
IF YOU WANTED TO JOIN HIM

FOR DINNER TONIGHT.

YEAH, OKAY, GREAT.

TONIGHT'S OKAY?

I'LL TELL HIM YOU'LL BE THERE.
BYE.

UH, CHRISTINA,
CAN I CALL YOU BACK?

ALL RIGHT, THANKS.

SEE YOU AT YOUR PARTY,
HONEY.

BYE, UNCLE CHRIS.
GOOD LUCK, PARTNER.

GOOD LUCK?
WITH WHAT?

DAD,
I KNOW YOU'RE REALLY BUSY,

BUT WE NEED TO TALK
ABOUT THE SUMMER DANCE PROGRAM.

SWEETHEART, WE'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT THE SUMMER DANCE PROGRAM,

AND WE ALSO DECIDED I NEED
A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION

BEFORE A DECISION IS MADE.

I KNOW,
AND FOR THE RECORD,

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE.

YOU DO?

YES, OF COURSE, I DO.

I KNOW YOU HAVE
A TON OF QUESTIONS.

WHICH IS WHY IT'S SO WONDERFUL
THAT PAM HAS INVITED YOU

TO THE MEETING
WITH ALL THE OTHER PARENTS

TO TALK ABOUT ANY QUESTIONS

THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

GREAT, THEN WE'LL TALK
ABOUT YOU TRAVELING ABROAD

AFTER THAT, OKAY?

GREAT.
SO IT'S 7:00 AT CHAPTER 8.

WELL, W-WAIT A SECOND.

7:00?

I ALREADY CHECKED
WITH YOUR SECRETARY,

AND YOU DON'T HAVE
ANY OTHER PLANS,

SO I CONFIRMED
THAT YOU'D BE THERE.

UM, ALL RIGHT.

OKAY, I'LL BE THERE.

THANK YOU, DAD.

I LOVE YOU.

HOW'S IT GOING
OVER THERE?

I'M ALMOST FINISHED.

OKAY, AND I AM DONE.

CAN I SEE?

OKAY.

LET'S SEE.

OH.

OH.

I DON'T KNOW

WHAT ELSE TO SAY,
EXCEPT THAT YOU'RE A GENIUS.

YES!

[laughter]

WHOO!

SWEET.
OH, MY GOODNESS.

MORE MATH LOVE?
YES.

AND I THINK YOU SHOULD BE
INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE

OF YOUR BROTHER BECAUSE
HE HAS BEEN WORKING SO HARD.

I AM.

GOOD JOB, BEN.

YOU ARE SO SMART.
OH, MY GOODNESS.

HEY, KATE, UM,
IS DINNER ALMOST READY?

BECAUSE, I MEAN, ALL THIS MATH
IS MAKING ME SO HUNGRY.

OH, OH, I ALMOST FORGOT.

IT'S JUST GONNA BE THE TWO OF US
FOR DINNER TONIGHT.

MY DAD WANTED TO MEET YOU
AT THIS RESTAURANT.

CHAPTER 8.
AT 7:30.

AND I PROMISED HIM
I WOULDN'T FORGET,

SO PLEASE DON'T TELL HIM
I ALMOST DID.

OH.

UH, OKAY,
LET ME JUST CALL

AND CHECK WITH HIM
ABOUT BEN.

HE WAS ON HIS PHONE.

THAT'S WHY HE WANTED ME
TO TELL YOU.

OKAY, DID HE SAY ANYTHING
ABOUT BEN?
I'M HERE.

NO DANCE CLASS
TONIGHT.

THAT'S PROBABLY
WHY HE WANTED TO DO IT.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BOOK
WE'RE READING?

I MEAN,
WE WERE SUPPOSED

TO FINISH IT TONIGHT.
YOU ARE CORRECT.

SO HOW ABOUT IF, AS SOON AS I AM
DONE WITH DINNER,

I WILL COME BACK
TO SAY GOOD NIGHT TO YOU.

OKAY, DEAL.

OKAY.

MR. CHANDLER,
HOW ARE YOU?

HI, NATASHA.
GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.
YOU TOO.

I AM FASHIONABLY LATE,
BUT I'M ASSUMING

MY PEOPLE ARE ALREADY HERE.
HI, DAVID.

YES. PAM, HI.

HI.
HOW ARE YOU?

I'M GOOD.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.

WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

UM...

I--I BELIEVE
THAT I'M YOUR GROUP.

YOU'RE MY--
I'M SORRY, I'M NOT FOLLOWING.

EMILY TOLD ME
THAT YOU WERE MEETING

SOME OF THE PARENTS
TO TALK

ABOUT THE SUMMER DANCE PROGRAM,
IS THAT CORRECT?

UM, EMILY CALLED ME EARLIER
TO SAY

THAT YOU WANTED
TO TAKE ME TO DINNER

TO TALK
ABOUT THE DANCE PROGRAM.

OH, PLEASE TELL ME
SHE DIDN'T DO THAT.

UH-HUH.

I-I'M SORRY ABOUT THIS.

NO, NO, HEY, HEY.

COME ON.
YOU SHOULDN'T BE SORRY.

I'LL APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY
ON BEHALF OF MY DAUGHTER.

UH, IT WAS REALLY NICE
TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

AND I AM MORE THAN HAPPY
TO SPEAK TO YOU

ABOUT THE DANCE PROGRAM
SOME OTHER TIME.

YOU KNOW WHAT, PAM--PAM,
HOLD ON A SEC, HOLD ON A SEC.

LET'S--

NATASHA, NATASHA.

YES.

UM, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD

A TABLE FOR TWO
AVAILABLE TONIGHT?

YES.
EXCELLENT.

YOUR DAUGHTER MADE
A RESERVATION.

OH, MY DAUGHTER.
HOW APPROPRIATE.

OF COURSE SHE DID.

WE'LL TAKE IT.

I'M ASSUMING YOU HAVEN'T EATEN
BECAUSE I'M--I'M STARVED.

[laughs]

WELL, I DO MAKE IT A RULE

NOT TO EAT
BEFORE NON-DATE SETUPS.

YEAH, ME TOO.
IT'S A GOOD PLAN.

WE SHOULD TRY THAT
NEXT TIME.

WELCOME TO CHAPTER 8.

HI.
HI, DO YOU HAVE
A RESERVATION?

OH, I'M MEETING
DAVID CHANDLER.

SURE.
RIGHT THIS WAY.

I'M AWAKE.

I'M AWAKE.

MM-HMM.

OH.

CAN WE READ SOME MORE
TONIGHT?

WE'LL READ TOMORROW.

OKAY.
GOOD NIGHT, KATE.

GOOD NIGHT.

[man speaking
on television]

DAD?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

YOUR FATHER'S ON A DATE
WITH PAM.

YOU KNOW THAT ALREADY,
DON'T YOU?

WE NEED TO TALK.

NO OFFENSE,
BUT I'M REALLY NOT

IN THE MOOD
FOR A TALK.

I'M REALLY TIRED.

YEAH, WELL,
THIS WON'T TAKE VERY LONG.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW YOU HAVE HUMILIATED ME?

YOUR FATHER IS ALLOWED
TO DATE PAM.

HE DOESN'T HAVE TO ASK
MY PERMISSION.

I KNOW THAT.

AND OBVIOUSLY,
SO DOES HE.

EMILY, I-I REALLY WANT YOU
TO KNOW

THAT I UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.

I REALLY DO.

AND I'M HERE
IF YOU NEED TO TALK TO ME.

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY TRYING
TO TELL ME

THAT YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL?

BECAUSE IF YOU ARE,

PLEASE STOP RIGHT THERE.

I AM SO SICK AND TIRED
OF PEOPLE TELLING ME

THAT THEY UNDERSTAND,
THAT THEY KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE.

NO ONE KNOWS.

I KNOW.

I CAN TELL YOU THIS
FOR SURE.

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS
IN YOUR LIFE

AND HOW HORRIBLE
IT FEELS,

EVEN IF YOU JUST TRY TO KEEP
THE FAITH, IT DOES START

TO GET BETTER
EVENTUALLY.

I PROMISE.

YOU WANT ME
TO KEEP THE FAITH

WHEN I CAN'T FIND ANY
TO BEGIN WITH?

[phone rings]

PHONE'S RINGING.

I KNOW.

I'M--OH, I HAVE
TO TAKE THIS.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

JERRY HEWITT'S ROOM,
PLEASE.

THERE.

EXCUSE ME.

[breathes]

HI, DADDY.
KATIE GIRL.

DO YOU NEED ANYTHING?

UH, NO.

I HAVE EVERYTHING
I NEED.

DID YOU LEAVE WORK
TO COME HERE?

YEAH.

YEAH, AND IT'S A GOOD THING,
DADDY,

'CAUSE IF I'DA STAYED THERE,
I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE

FOR WHAT I WANTED TO DO
TO THAT CHILD.

EMILY IS HORRID
AND ATROCIOUS.

I SEEM TO REMEMBER
A YOUNG GIRL

THAT ACTED OUT
JUST LIKE THAT.

I WASN'T AS BAD
AS THAT.

I BEG TO DIFFER.

THERE WAS SOME PRETTY
STELLAR MOMENTS.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

I'M GONNA CALL DAVID TOMORROW,

AND I'M GONNA TELL HIM
THAT I NEED SOME TIME OFF.

YOU'LL DO NOTHING
OF THE KIND.

YOU'LL CONTINUE WORKING
WITH THIS FAMILY,

AND YOU'LL KEEP GOING
TO SCHOOL,

AND YOU'LL GET
YOUR TEACHER'S DEGREE.

AND YOU'LL LET YOURSELF
FALL IN LOVE

AND HAVE
A MAGNIFICENT LIFE.

I DON'T WANT YOU
TO TALK LIKE THAT.

OKAY, WE DON'T NEED TO TALK
ABOUT ANYTHING.

YES, WE DO.

YOU WERE BROUGHT
INTO THIS FAMILY'S LIFE

FOR A REASON.

YES, THEY NEED YOU.

BUT WHETHER OR NOT
YOU KNOW IT,

YOU NEED THEM TOO,
KATIE GIRL.

DADDY, I DON'T THINK
THIS FAMILY NEEDS ME.

DON'T YOU--

DON'T YOU GIVE UP
ON THIS GIRL.

YOU DON'T REALIZE
THAT SHE NEEDS YOU.

NOW MORE THAN EVER.

SHE DOESN'T KNOW IT YET,

BUT YOU'RE GONNA BRING HER
AROUND.

ONE DAY,
YOU'LL FIND A WAY.

I DON'T KNOW
IF I'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

I HAVE ENOUGH FAITH
FOR BOTH OF US.

HI, DADDY.

HOW WAS YOUR NIGHT?

WE NEED TO HAVE
A LITTLE TALK.

WHAT WAS ALL THAT ABOUT
WITH PAM TONIGHT?

I WAS HOPING
SHE WOULD TELL YOU

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY
THIS IS FOR ME

TO TRAVEL ABROAD AND DANCE.

HONEY, LOOK,
I APPRECIATE

YOUR TRYING TO GET ME
OUT THERE DATING AGAIN,

I REALLY DO,
BUT I'M A GROWN MAN

AND I'LL DEAL WITH IT
FROM HERE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

YEP.

DID YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME
AT LEAST?

YES, YES,
WE HAD A GREAT TIME.

AS FRIENDS.

AND ONLY AS FRIENDS.

DID SHE AT LEAST TELL YOU

ABOUT THE DANCE PROGRAM?

UH, YES, AS A MATTER
OF FACT SHE DID,

AND NO, I HAVEN'T MADE
MY MIND UP YET.

OKAY.
OH, ONE MORE THING.

WHEN DID KATE LEAVE?

EARLIER THAN SHE'S SUPPOSED TO.

SHE GOT A PHONE CALL
AND SAID SHE HAD TO GO.

OKAY, GET TO BED SOON.

GOOD NIGHT, DADDY.
I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU TOO,
SWEETIE.

(male doctor)
WHICH ROOM IS IT?

(female nurse)
IT'S HEWITT, ROOM 342.

DADDY, DADDY?

I'M RIGHT HERE, DADDY.
JUST STAND BACK.

[whispering]
I'M RIGHT HERE.

[exhales]

[flatline tone]

I'M GLAD WE COULD
BE HERE, DEAR.

HI.

[sighing]
I'M SORRY.

THANKS.

A LITTLE TIME OFF.

I UNDERSTAND.

THANKS FOR COMING.

FOR YOU A LOT.

HE IS?

YEAH.

I'M SURE EMILY WOULD LIKE
TO SAY HI.

I'M GLAD YOU CAME.

UM--

OH, GOD, I'M SORRY.

I DON'T THINK I CAN STAY.

UM, I JUST WANNA BRING EMILY
THIS PRESENT, SO.

OKAY.

KATE, WAIT.

I JUST--

I REALLY--
HI, I'M SORRY.

I WAS JUST LOOKING

FOR THE BIRTHDAY GIRL.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT.

IT'S REALLY NICE
TO SEE YOU...AGAIN.

YOU TOO.

I'M GONNA GO SEE EMILY.

OH, YOU TWO FINISH
YOUR CONVERSATION.

I'LL CATCH
UP WITH HER LATER.

NO, ACTUALLY, WE'RE DONE
WITH OUR CONVERSATION, SO.

UM, I'M GONNA GO SEE EMILY.

SO WHERE'S THIS FRIEND
OF YOURS?

FRIEND?

[knocking on door]

EMILY?

UH, NO, I JUST...

WANTED TO SAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

THANKS.

OH, THAT'S SO PERFECT.

ISN'T IT GREAT ABOUT THEM?

IT'S GREAT, YEAH.

UH, I'M JUST GONNA LEAVE
YOUR BIRTHDAY PRESENT

RIGHT HERE FOR YOU.

OKAY, SEE YOU.

OKAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

[sarcastically]
OH, JUST WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED.

A BOOK.

HEY, KATE!

KATE!

HEY, KATE!

KATE!

KATE, WHERE ARE YOU?

KATE, I GOT SOMETHING

REALLY IMPORTANT TO SHOW YOU.

NO YELLING!

UH, WHERE'S KATE?

SHE'S NOT COMING.

I'M LYDIA.

AND I WILL BE TAKING
CARE OF YOU.

DINNER AT 6:00.

DAD'S GONNA BE SO HAPPY.

BUT I WANTED TO SHOW KATE.

FORGET ABOUT KATE.

I THINK IT'S REALLY COOL.

THANKS.

HEY, YOU WANNA GO PLAY
SOME VIDEO GAMES?

YEAH, I GUESS SO.

YEAH, YOU DO.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

(Lisa)
NOW, DID YOU TALK TO DAVID?

UH, I MEAN,
I LEFT HIM A MESSAGE.

I DIDN'T REALLY GET
INTO DETAILS

IN CASE BEN WAS LISTENING.

I DON'T KNOW.

HE'S GONNA BE SO CONFUSED

ABOUT WHY I'M NOT
THERE ANYMORE.

WELL, I'M SURE DAVID WILL
EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO BEN.

DID YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING
TO DAVID?

I WANTED TO,
BUT I DON'T KNOW.

HE WAS WITH PAM.

IT WAS SO SILLY.

IT'S BETTER THAT I JUST
WALK AWAY FROM THIS RIGHT NOW.

THERE'S SO MANY THINGS
I NEED TO GET INTO ORDER

AND I PROMISED MY DAD
I'D FINISH SCHOOL

SO THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

[car alarm honks]

HEY, UNCLE CHRIS.

HEY, EM,
WHAT'S GOING ON?

I'M FINE.

IS DAD OKAY?

YEAH, HE'S GREAT, WHY?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I'M HERE TO SEE PAM.

OH.

EVER SINCE YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY,
KIDDO, IT'S ON.

"IT'S ON"?

OH, IT'S ON.

OH.
I'LL SEE YOU, OKAY?

OKAY.

HOW YOU DOING?

I'M GOOD.

[door closes]

HEY, HONEY.

WITH PAM TONIGHT.

[chuckling]

PRETTY COOL, HUH?

TO CLEAN UP YOUR ROOM

BEFORE YOU GO
TO BED TONIGHT, OKAY?

OKAY.

GOOD NIGHT, DAD.

GOOD NIGHT, SWEETHEART.

"FOR EMILY.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM SOMEONE
WHO UNDERSTANDS."

[sighs]

"IF ONE MORE PERSON TELLS ME
THEY KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE...

"I'M THE ONE WHO KNOWS
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE

NOT TO HAVE A MOTHER AROUND."

YES, CAN I HELP YOU?

I HOPE SO.

I'M LOOKING FOR KATE HEWITT.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE
I CAN FIND HER?

WELL, AS A MATTER OF FACT,

SHE JUST FINISHED HER TUTORING
AND SHE'S INSIDE THE CHURCH.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO GO IN.
THANK YOU.

OH.

HI.

HMM.

WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER TELL ME
ABOUT YOUR MOM?

I TRIED A FEW TIMES, BUT...

JUST DIDN'T EVER SEEM
LIKE THE RIGHT TIME.

I WAS A FEW YEARS OLDER
THAN YOU WHEN MY MOM DIED.

I WROTE IN THAT JOURNAL
EVERY DAY.

SOME DAYS I'M NOT
SO PROUD OF.

I THINK I CAN RELATE
TO A FEW OF THOSE.

[chuckling]

[sighs]

EVERYTHING IN HERE, LIKE,

ON EVERY SINGLE PAGE...

COULDA BEEN ME WRITING THIS.

I'M SO SORRY.

I KNOW THAT EVERY DAY
FEELS LIKE IT'S AWFUL

AND IT'S NEVER
GONNA GET GOOD AGAIN...

BUT ONE DAY
YOU'RE GONNA WAKE UP

AND YOU'RE GONNA NOTICE
THAT YOU HAD A GOOD DAY.

MAYBE YOU AND I COULD TRY

TO KEEP THE FAITH
TOGETHER?

WHAT IF I CAN'T?

YOU CAN CALL ME.

[sighs]

DAD?

HEY, SWEETIE.

HEY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING STILL UP?

I, UM...

I DECIDED I DON'T WANNA DO
THE DANCE PROGRAM THIS SUMMER.

OKAY.

I JUST THINK IT'D BE BETTER
IF I STAYED HERE...

TO HELP YOU WITH BEN.

OKAY.

DO YOU MIND TELLING ME
WHAT BROUGHT THIS ON?

I'VE JUST BEEN THINKING
ABOUT SOME THINGS.

THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN
REALLY BOTHERING ME.

DAD, I KNOW WHAT I'M ABOUT TO
SAY IS GONNA REALLY UPSET YOU,

BUT I HOPE--
I REALLY HOPE--

THAT SOMEDAY YOU'LL
BE ABLE TO FORGIVE ME.

(Kate)
SO YESTERDAY WE TALKED
ABOUT OUR FAVORITE BOOKS.

AND TODAY WE ARE GOING
TO DISCUSS FAIRY TALES.

AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
FAIRY TALES IN BOOKS

AND...LIFE.

OKAY, SO WHEN WE'RE
READING A BOOK--

WE'RE READING
A FAIRY TALE IN A BOOK,

HOW DOES IT USUALLY BEGIN?

(all)
ONCE UPON A TIME.

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND HOW DO FAIRY TALES
USUALLY END IN BOOKS?

(all)
HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

VERY GOOD, CLASS,
THAT'S RIGHT.

NOW IN REAL LIFE SOME--

HI.

HI.

UM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WELL, WE, UM--
WE MISSED YOU.

UH, I MISS YOU.

I, UH, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY.

SAY YES.
SHH.

UH.
UM.

KATE HEWITT...

ON A DATE WITH ME?

[laughing]

YES, I WOULD LOVE TO GO
ON A DATE WITH YOU.

[cheers and applause]
