I want you to meet Gordon Flint.

This is my sister Sarah.

Nice meeting you. Nice to meet you too.

Your sister is awesome. I don't think

you should be spending quite so much time with Gordon.

I love being a wife, but I just feel like

I got swallowed up somewhere.

I hear you... And I see you.

Wow! Is that marriage counseling?

I miss you. Is everything okay?

Yeah. You all right?

No, it's great. Really?

Everything's hunky-dory.

Hello!

Oh, my God! Mommy's home!

What are you doing here? Hey!

awoo

I'm mixin' business with leather

Christmas with Heather

freaks flock together

makin' all the people scream

aah! Mommy! Daddy!

Syd? Sydney?

Aah! Syd?

Sydney?

Syd, what is it? What is it?

I had a bad dream.

Baby, what happened? Oh, just a bad dream.

Yeah? Well, tell me what happened in the dream.

I was on this deck...

And the water was all green... Yeah?

And I fell in.

And I tried to swim to get up,

but something kept pulling me down.

Oh, my gosh. That sounds awful, babe.

That sounds terrible.

Can I sleep in your bed?

Uh... Um...

You know what?

Maybe we should just get some water

and come back here and calm down--I'll tuck you in?

No. I'm too scared.

It's really safe here.

Please, mommy?

Okay, just for tonight, okay? I'm so scared.

Just one night. Just one night.

Okay. Okay, let's go. All right.

Okay. Okay.

Here we go.

Why don't you and daddy have any clothes on?

Um...

That was a high-quality sleepover.

Yeah, it was. Really top-notch.

It was, it was, it was.

We should do that more often. We should.

But now I got to go get Jabbar

from my mom's.

I got a million things to do, like...

Get him in school. Uh-huh.

It's kindergarten, though.

They're gonna play with blocks, right?

Yeah. It's not your mom's kindergarten.

Those kids are reading already.

And the longer we wait,

the re the other kids will form bonds without him.

Well, what about your mom's district?

Didn't you say that was decent?

Yeah. Decent is not the word you use

to describe your kid's school.

Okay Ii'm just saying we got a backup plan.

It's a possibility. What is all this?

What? Come back here.

It's so warm in here, and then you're out there.

It doesn make any sense. I got so much to do.

I mean, I have to find a place to live.

I still need to get back to New York

and pack up the apartment at some point,

and I need to figure out what I'm doing for a living

now that I'm not touring.

All right, well, one panic attack at a time.

Hey...

What about, uh, Sydney's school?

Sycamore Charter? Yeah. They love it.

Yeah, they love it. It's an amazing school.

But they never have openings,

and there's always a waiting list.

I'll talk to my sister. Okay.

Hey, hey, listen, listen, come here.

Sit down.

Jabbar is gonna get into a great school.

I promise.

I mean, come on,

this is the biggest retail sports convention ever.

It'sonna be huge! Yeah, and we need to

sell somshoes there this year. Oh, come on.

The new line is too hot, and the work you did--

the work you did on the display?

It's unbelievable--please. Thank you, thank you.

Listen, I think it's a good idea for me to go

to the convention this year, given what's been going on.

That's what I love about you, Adam.

You always offer, every year.

But you know I need you back here running the shop.

Yeah. How do I look?

You look great.

Okay, let's go, people! Let's go!

Here we go with the 2011 Spring Shoe Show!

All right, all right, all right, all right!

All right, all right, thank you.

First of all, I'd like to announce

who will be joining me this year at the convention

to run the booth.

Adam and I have spoken, and we both think--

we both agree, actually--

that this person best exemplifies everything

that T&S Footwear stands for.

So...

The moment you've all been waiting for--

let's give it up for...

Sarah Braverman.

What?

Oh, my God. Thank--thank you!

Wow.

May God bless and keep you always

and may your wishes all come true

may you always do for others

and let others do for you

ay you build a ladde to the stars

and climb on every rung

and may you stay

forever young

may you grow up to be righteous

may you grow up to be true

may you always know the truth

and see the lights surrounding you

may you always be courageous

stand upright and be strong

and may you stay

forever young

may you stay

forever young

-- Sync, corrected by elderman -- -- for www.addic7ed.com --

Hey, you know what, honey? Hmm?

I'm not gonna let it bother me.

Okay. I'm gonna be happy for Sarah.

She's gonna be great at the retail show.

Mm-hmm. I'm gonna let ito.

Great. I'm lettin' it go.

Let it go. I'm lettin' it go.

Move over a little bit?

Can I finish brushing my teeth, please?

You go. Y--

she gets to go to the trade show?

She's only an intern, right? That's great.

Yeah, but you know what?

Like I said, lettin' it go.

It's awesome if it doesn't bother you.

You're so secure with yourself. Have you thought

about what I talked to you about the other night?

Yeah. And?

I'm not going. Come on!

It's not gonna kill you to go.

Well, there I have to disagree with you,

because going to an Asperger's support group with the Lessings

might actually kill me. Okay, that's really mean.

I'm just being honest, okay? Okay, I'll go by myself.

I'll just go and maybe make some friends.

Hold their hand because my husband won't be there.

Sit with Suze and Phil. Honey, thank you.

Maybe grab a sn--

I'm not going by myself!

Well, you know what honey?

I'm gonna use the other bathroom.

I'm not goin'.

Adam!

You're just kidding, right?

I'll tell Phil that you said hello.

Never in my whole life

would I choose just one

I have always loved the moonlight

and I've always loved the sun

Then it goes-- last part, and then it goes.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo

doo doo doo doo doo doo

oops.

doo-

doo doo doo doo doo doo

doo doo doo doo doo

Oh! Whoo!

Music video!

Dude, you have, like, an amazing voice.

Thanks. No, seriously!

I'm not gonna lie--think we should maybe start a band.

Why don't you come over tonight and bring your bass,

and we'll, like, try to--

oh, wait. We have Howard today.

Ah, yes. Howard.

We can hang out with Howard, like, do a little studying,

maybe smoke a little weed and--

dude, we're not gonna smoke weed...

It's-- during our tutoring session.

It's organic.

Oh, it's organic.

Sycamore is a very good school.

Uh-huh. And it was not easy

for me to get Sydney into this school.

Uh-huh.

Don't bring any unnecessary drama.

They don't need to know the whole,

"I didn't know I had a son"... Okay.

"And then I decided to start dating his mother

after I found out," and whatever.

You and Jasmine aren't married. You don't even live together.

It's kind of... It just--it just comes off

a little flaky. Okay.

You need to come off as stable.

Okay. I will be stable.

Great. Thank you.

I'll be stable. Okay.

You got it. Okay. Okay.

Good. Cool.

Now?

Yeah. Class already started.

I got to get him in kindergarten.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Would you connect me to Sycamore Charter?

If I can come in after 5:00, there's a great happy hour

with free nachos and have a couple cocktails before.

I would say change your hat. Just saying.

Oh, my goodness. You don't like my duck hunting look?

Do you guys know how to play this?

Yes.

I win every single time.

That's because you cheat.

There's nothing greater than seeing her little face

sleeping and breathing. It's just--

really? She's sleeping in the--right with you?

Every night? Not every night!

And it's unbelievable. It's every night.

It's luscious. I want to inhale her.

I'm just worried about rolling over and crushing

and/or killing our daughter, so...

Exactly!

Crosby slept with us until he was 13,

and he turned out all right.

Is that true?

So if you want one of these, you know how to get one.

Is Kristina coming late or what?

Uh, no, she's at a support group

for parents with kids who have Asperger's.

In a support group? Really?

Good for her.

Which reminds me, actually, before I forget,

guys, I need your help

for something. Um...

Well, we need suggestions.

Your father and I are supposed to find an activity

to do together,

you know, something fun.

A fun activity. Yes.

Yeah, well, our therapist suggested

that we do something intimate.

Okay. We don't help you with that.

No, no, no. Not intimate.

No. Interactive.

Oh. Interactive?

Yeah, it's different. Oh, my God, you know what?

The MonsterTtruck Rally's at the fair this weekend.

Oh, cool.

Oh, that's real interactive.

Yeah, and a guy's gonna wrestle a Jaguar

after the main event. Wow!

Yeah, sounds like that's right up mom's alley.

Well, they've got those sausages

and the onions I love.

I'll go to that with you. I'm in.

Why if you guys go over the bridge

to San Francisco and, like, walk around Fort Point

and walk by the ocean... That's nice.

Have a nice talk?

Or just go to the movies and, you know--

Kristina was just saying she wanted to see a movie.

What was that? I don't know.

We haven't seen a movie in, like, ten years.

What about, uh, like, ballroom dancing?

Ooh. Yeah, that could be nice.

Ballroom dancing! Yeah. You can dress up.

That'd be, like, special and kind of fancy.

I think that's-- you know, it's an idea.

Yeah, I could see you guys doing it.

You know, we--we could try it.

You know, if--if we don't like it,

then we can always stop.

I mean, you know, we don't have to keep doing it.

You know, it's funny. I always wanted to do that.

Really. Yeah, way in the back of my mind,

it was always something I thought I'd do someday.

Hey, Millie...

I would love to dance with you.

Is this guy charming or what?

Actually, if you don't dance with him, I'm gonna.

The fox is in the henhouse.

I, um...

I'm a mom...

Obviously.

I, uh, have a child with Asperger's,

like you all and, um,

just doing the best that I can getting through things,

life, doing what we do--

all of us.

That's what I have to say. That's it.

What's your child's name, Kristina?

Max. Max.

How old is Max? Max is nine.

And how long have you known that Max has Asperger's?

About a year, officially...

Probably about a year.

There were signs before. You know, he...

He was having trouble in school, like a lot of kids do--

tantrums, you know, just behavioral things.

But he was fine. He's fine.

I'm just trying to figure it out.

So...

I'm just gonna-- can I listen for a little bit?

Sure. Thank you for sharing. I'm okay. I'm okay.

Thank you.

I, uh...

I cried in McDonald's today.

Melanie, tell us about it.

Um...

I've been so stressed out

being at home with Anthony,

my six-year-old with Asperger's,

all the time.

I mean, my husband leaves for work at 7:00 in the morning,

and sometimes I don't see him again until 9:00.

So it's just...

Me and Anthony all day.

And don't get me wrong.

I love my son to pieces.

But it's a little like living on an island all day

with these...

Weird rules that don't apply to other people...

You know, thinking-- thinking all the time...

"Is this gonna set him off? What's that noise?

"S-should I drive home a different way

to avoid the barking dog?"

Always living with that-- that pressure, always so much.

And it feels like you can't breathe sometimes.

You know what I mean?

Okay, here we go. The last one.

Who is this lovely man? Uh...

Uh...Aus-- Austin Winburn.

Winburn-burn!

Austin Winberburn! Yes, Winberburn.

Okay. And he's a big supplier to, um--

to the Shoe Shack. No.

No, not right. What are they called?

Step... Step...Sharp.

Step Sharp. Yes, correct.

And they are interested

in athletic shoes for women,

so we're gonna really push running shoes.

Okay, that's good, but what are his hobbies?

His hobbies are, um... Windsurfing, wind-sailing?

No. Come on. Uh, you're on the...

Parasail, you're-- water-skiing.

Water-skiing and, uh, the craps table at Caesars.

Okay, that's about it. That's the last one.

Is it? I think that's probably

as good as it's gonna get. Okay, that's not bad, huh?

How do you know all this? This is what you learn

from Facebook. It's very creepy

that you're knowing about his water-skiing.

Well, that's the job, you know.

I'm just trying to do a good job.

I need $40. What--why?

For tutoring.

Again? Yeah, it's time. I--

that's the second time this week

that you needed $40 for tutoring with Howard.

Well, I'm sorry, but what do you want me to say?

I need it. That's what you're,

you know, doing-- using it for?

Is that a joke? You and Kelsey?

No. I'm just wondering. Tell me that's a big joke.

I just am wondering. Really? You're suspicious?

It's sort of too good to be true.

Of course, yeah. Okay, you caught me, mom.

I'm gonna go buy some drugs and, you know,

whatever else you don't want me to do,

'cause God forbid I do something right

ever in my whole life.

Hey.

That's not what I meant. I'm sorry.

Can we not afford this?

I'm serious. I don't want to stress you out.

Because if we can't afford it, it's like,

fine, I can study it on my own, I don't--

it's your education. It's important.

Take it. Thanks.

You're the best. I know.

See you soon.

Thanks. Thanks.

Winberburn.

Winberburn. Winberburn.

All right, ladies and gentlemen,

here we go! 5, 6, 7, 8...

Slow, quick, quick. Slow.

Keep your chins up.

Keep your shoulders back.

Tuck your rump in. You're not a butcher.

Good, good.

See, what did I tell you, Millie?

Come on. Well, excuse me.

I didn't think we were auditioning

for So You Yhink You Can Dance

on the first lesson.

Okay. Just relax.

Ow! Ow!

Well, your foot isn't supposed to be there.

Honey, it's connected to my ankle--that's where it goes.

Come on. You're supposed to step back.

Sweetheart, just... Millie, just take it easy.

Go with the flow.

Deep breath. Here we go. Come on.

Ready?

That a girl.

Head up. All right, rotate partners.

Here we go.

Ladies rotate to the right.

Pick up your frame.

Here we go and 5, 6, 7, 8...

Slow.

Oh.

Guess it's you and me, right?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, I want you to know

that I'm okay with the gays, all right?

Good to know... Zeek.

And, uh, Tony. Mm-hmm.

Let's get something straight between us,

so to speak.

I'll be leading. You're the boss, Zeek.

Okay.

Hmm.

Well, this isn't your first class, is it?

Nope.

Very nice.

Hey, Millie.

Look at Tony.

I mean, gosh, he's so responsive.

 huh?

Moves like a dream, doesn't he?

Very nice. Yeah.

Very coordinated. You dip?

Oh, yeah.

Nicely done!

Mommy, I had another nightmare.

Hey.

Hey.

Come back to bed.

She has to get out of that bed.

That's a little intense. I feel intense.

Okay, she can sleep on my side of the bed, okay?

No, sweetheart, it's not about which side she sleeps on.

It's about...

It's about me being a parent.

You go to work, and I'm a parent all day.

You know?

And then you get home, and it's all about our girl,

which it should be, and I love it,

but at night...

At night, it's the only time

that I don't have to be a parent.

I can just be Joel with my wife,

and I need that.

I'm sorry.

I want to be with you too.

But I do go to work in the morning,

and I-- and I work all day,

and I miss her so much while I'm there, and...

You know, I love my job, but...

She's growing up so fast.

I don't want to miss it all.

Sometimes that's the only time I get to be a parent.

Mommy, come back. I need you.

Honey? Yeah?

Can I talk to you about something

that's probably gonna annoy you?

Please, by all means.

That support group isn't as scary as it sounds.

I think it's helpful. All right, Kristina--

it could be helpful to you.

Let me explain something to you.

I don't think that it's scary.

I think it's stupid.

You know...I have you.

Mm-hmm.

We have each other.

I can talk about anything with you,

and that's enough for me. Okay.

You'll be my group.

I love you. Mm.

Good night.

Good night.

I'm gonna keep going, though.

Fine. I think you should.

Okay.

Ready? Oh, thanks.

I mean, hi. Yes.

Let's-- let's go.

Okay.

Wow. I-I can't believe it.

This thing keeps getting bigger and bigger every year.

Oh.

So how long have you guys been doing this?

Well, we've been dragging our asses there for eight weeks now,

at 150 bucks a session.

Yeah. Now, see...

Adam, these are-- these are too tight in here.

I don't think they're made right.

Yeah, they're not made right.

Dad, you have a wide foot. I've told you that.

Adam, they pinch. All right.

Tell you what, let's try another shoe.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

All right, just toss that in there.

Yep. So what do you do there?

You just talk? Share? Hell if I know.

I know that the only thing I'm doing differently

is I'm dancing with gay Tony.

Oh, you ought to see this guy move, Adam.

He's like a finely tuned European sports car.

He's very sensitive,

and he just responds to the slightest touch.

Honestly, it's amazing.

That's great. Hey, son,

you know... Yeah.

I don't go to therapy for me, you know?

What am I gonna get out of it?

I hate goin'. Yeah.

I'm going because it means something to your mom, right?

That's why I'm going.

Hi, there. I'm Sarah Braverman.

I'm the T&S rep this year. Nice to see you.

Sarah Braverman, T&S rep this year.

You know Mr. Flint.

That's Bob Ingomar from Cleveland.

He's the buyer for Natural Walk.

Bob Ingomar from Cleveland! Wonderful to see you again.

Sally Bergen from Nordstrom. Um, she's got three kids and...

Their sales were up 29% this year,

and I think you could do an even bigger order.

He really likes Dr. Pepper. Here's your Dr. Pepper.

Thank you. You are a God.

His wife just left him

for a race-car driver from Prague,

so don't mention your recent trip there.

Aah!

We kicked the ass of the entire footwear industry!

Yeah, we did. Hold on a moment.

I'd like to propose a toast.

To Sarah Braverman...

The best booth job ever.

Gah...

Thanks a lot.

You give good booth.

Hey, Sarah.

Mmm! Look at you.

You look beautiful. Oh. Thanks.

Um, you know Gordon, our boss?

Hey, man, how you doing? This is--you know Mike.

He works in the warehouse. For me?

Yeah... Oh, great, man.

What's your name again? Mike.

Mike. Yeah, I met you before.

Oh, okay. I'm sorry about that.

That's cool. Welcome aboard.

Thanks, man. All right, all right.

So, uh, we still on for later this week?

Oh, yeah! Yeah, yeah, uh...

I'll call you.

I got a little... Work thing.

But I'll call you. I'll call you.

Um, yeah, maybe next week or something.

No, no. I'll call you.

Good to meet you, man. See ya at the office.

Oh, I bet I know

what you like

I don't think that's workin' too well.

Whatever. My mom won't be home until 8:00.

It really doesn't matter.

I'll light some candles or something.

Hey, that's a good idea.

Maybe if you burn down the house,

she won't notice the pot smell.

Yeah. Yeah.

Actually...

Okay, that's a joke.

Don't-- don't burn the house down.

I mean... I'm just saying.

Okay.

Uh...

We gonna finish this math or...?

Uh...

No. No.

Yeah. Okay. Cool.

I'm gonna go, then.

Hey. You did a really good job today.

Oh, Howard, thanks. That really means a lot.

That's very kind.

That's really sweet of you, Howard.

It really means a lot to her.

Sweet of you.

Wait, you're-- you're, like, actually leaving?

Yeah, buddy, I'm actually leaving.

All right? See ya.

Wait. Wai--wai--wait. Hold--wait--where--

really?

Listen, we got to get creative here, okay?

The competition is too stiff.

We need to think about adding another layer to this.

We can't just...

What kind of-- what are you talking about?

We need to do-- we need to bring our "A" game.

Okay?

Listen...

What are you-- what is that?

I borrowed these rings from Julie and Joel, okay?

Listen, that couple in there--

they're completely normal, all right, and they're stable.

And?

Well, and we're not stable.

We--

this is the school, okay?

We got to be the couple, you know?

We can't just go in there all free-spirited bohemian

and think they're gonna let us in,

so just pop this on-- I'm not doi--

I'm not putting it on. What do you mean, you're not?

No. This is ridiculous. It's not ridiculous.

It is! Look, we're awesome.

And we're exactly the kind of couple

that they want at this school as parents.

You know why?

Because we're bright. We're loving.

We're ethical. We love each other.

And that's all that we need, okay?

Trust me.

I got this. All right.

Hey, listen, thanks so much.

Real pleasure. Anytime.

And, Gina, I am gonna get you that coffee cake recipe.

I swear, when you taste it, you are going to die.

That would be so great.

And I still can't believe

that our grandmothers both came from Northern Iowa.

Yeah, how about-- and the same town.

It's unbelievable. Terrific talking to you both.

You'll be hearing from us soon.

Lookg forward to it.

Bye-bye. Principal Taylor.

Oh. Uh, Mr. Beaverman. Hey.

Yeah, uh... Give me two minutes, will ya?

Two minutes? Okay.

What are you doing?

Give me the ring. Well, now you want--

give me the ring! All right. Here.

Just give it to me! Sorry.

Left hand, right? Yeah, left hand.

Yep.

Looks like a wonderful boy.

You know, what I really like

is that he's interested in music and baseball.

Yeah. And reading-- he likes that.

A well-rounded kid.

Okay.

So why don't you tell me something about you two?

Well, um,

for starters, we are married.

Mm-hmm.

Um, happily married. Well, that's very nice.

Anything else?

Oh, I'm a dancer.

Oh. Mm-hmm.

Well, that's exciting. Do you move around a lot?

That's--

that was funny...

Because dancers move around a lot

when they're dancing.

But she's not, um, ever really away from home,

if that's what you're...

I think that might have been what your question--

right. I decided to only take local jobs.

Oh. You're lucky to find them. Yes.

I mean, you must be very talented.

She's incredibly talented.

In fact, she just turned down Alvin Ailey's Dance Company

so she could be... Is that so?

Closer to our son.

That's the level of talent she has.

Yeah, and he's... Really talented as well.

I mean, he's an amazing music producer.

This one here. Don't know about amazing.

You're amazing, honey.

It's nice to see two parents

who believe in each other so much.

Ha. Have to say, it's not always the case.

Now, you said you're a music producer.

Uh-huh.

Well, we could sure use you around here for the spring sing.

See, I-it's always been a thought of mine

that if we could record the kids' concert

and then sell the CDs,

that could be a very good fundraiser for us.

That's a great idea. That's a really good idea.

You know, I could totally do that for you.

What kind of equipment do you have?

You mean, um, recording equipment?

Yeah.

None. Oh. Okay.

Uh, well, we could bring the kids down to my studio,

and I could record them there.

Or, you know, even better,

if some of the kids are interested in, like,

the mixing board, I could also help them to engineer it too.

That is, I would seriously love to do that.

That would be so much fun for me.

They would love that.

I mean, for them to get into a real studio

and see all the real machines and everything,

that would make their day. Yeah.

I think it'd make all of our days.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Come on.

You cast a spell on me

I was blind, but now I see

Millie, Millie, Millie! Get down here.

Ha ha. I'm feelin' it!

I got the foxtrot in my shoes and my--

come on, let's practice. Come on.

You feel it? Huh?

Got that feeling?

Nice, nice.

I was blind, but now I see

you-

What are you doing?

I don't want to do the dance-class thing anymore.

Why?

What do you think?

Honey, we're not very good, all right?

So I thought, you know, if we practice,

we're gonna get better, then we'll have a lot more fun.

It's not about the dancing. Don't ya get it?

I wanted to spend time together.

You didn't want to do it in the first place.

Now you're off the hook.

Right?

I don't know what... The hell...

Who is it? It's me.

Oh. Come in.

Hey. Hey.

That's a good poster. Thanks.

Your grandma let me in. Cool.

So why'd you leave all pissed off?

Um... I wasn't all pissed off.

I just was, like, a little...

You were, like, pretty pissed off.

Frustrated--

just, like, the whole Howard thing.

Are you jealous?

Are you kidding? Of course I'm not jealous.

Please. I'm just trying...

To figure out...

Look, I don't think you have any idea

what a huge deal $40 is to my family,

and...

Like, I just can't afford sitting around

and smoking pot with you and Howard for $40.

I need that tutoring.

I didn't even think about that.

I know, and I should have told you.

But it's... It's embarrassing.

I'm really sorry.

I'll--I'll give you all the money back.

No, hey-- I mean...

Please. It's not about that.

I just had to tell you, you know?

Yeah. We will... Study from now on.

Okay.

We're just gonna ace those S.A.T.s

Hope so.

Can I stay for dinner?

If you must.

Dad? Yeah?

Do you know where mom is?

'Cause I finished my math homework,

and I want my sticker. See?

Yeah, uh... Do you know where she is?

She's--she's not here, bud. She's at a-a group meeting.

What kind of a group?

It's a group that has a sred...

Common experience--

shared common interest.

What, like, you know...

Is it like when Haddie goes with all her friends

and plays soccer, like that?

Yeah. It's like that. Do they play soccer?

No. Well, then what do they do?

Cards. They--they play cards.

They all like... Playing cards.

Well, do they play "go fish"? 'Cause that's really fun.

I want to play "go fish" with them if they play "go fish."

I don't think they do.

Oh. Well, I want to play "go fish" sometime.

I'll get this.

Ah.

Thank you for this amazing day.

I'll never forget it.

Please. I should be thanking you.

No. You have no idea how great that made me feel.

I...

Tomorrow I'll return this dress with the tag still on,

give my sister back these beautiful shoes,

and go back to being

an intern/bartender.

Today was a real gift.

You have no idea how great you are...

Do you?

I just, uh...

Don't get to meet a lot of girls like you.

Thanks.

Thanks. Thanks.

Good night. Good night.

See you tomorrow. Yeah.

I feel like we're this unit,

like we can hold it together

and protect him as long as we're together.

Hi.

Hank, thank you.

Uh, hello.

Join us.

That's my husband, Adam.

Oh. Adam, welcome.

Thanks for coming.

Have a seat. Join us.

It's nice to finally meet you. Thank you.

Nice to be here.

Is there anything you'd like to share with us?

Um...

It's okay.

Take your time. It's okay.

I-I felt kind of, uh, weird leaving the house tonight,

because our son asked where his mother was.

And, uh...

I don't like to lie to my kids.

So I wanted to tell him that his mother was

at an Asperger's support group meeting, but...

I couldn't, because he doesn't know he has Asperger's.

And I dread...

The day that I have to tell him he does.

He's asleep.

Gin and tonic.

Ooh. Classy!

That's how we do it

at our private school. Mm.

Mmm. He is totally

getting into that school. Yeah.

I think they might even name the gymnasium after us.

It's because you killed it. You really did.

Thank you. You're welcome.

But I think...

We killed it.

You know, the whole time you were gone,

I never stopped hoping that we'd all be back together.

And...

This is kind of how I hoped it would be.

And...

You're awesome.

Yeah. You too.

I should, um... These are good.

Give you back this ring before you lose it.

Oh, yeah, thank you. Julia will kill me if--

do you want to-- no. You should--

you should give it back.

Now it's time for sleep.

Make sure that the alligator doesn't bite you.

I know, mom.

Night. Night, darling.

Hi, sweetie. Hi, mommy. Shh.

Daddy's sleeping.

I see that. Can I go in your bed now?

Well...

Come here.

So you know what's funny? What?

When mommies and daddies first meet

and they fall in love,

they get in this kind of a love bubble.

It's their own little world.

And they're just in there with each other.

And then... Babies come.

And it makes them really happy.

And they want the babies to come in the bubble with them.

But they only made the bubble for two people at first...

So it gets a little squishy. But does it grow?

It does grow, but it takes time for it to grow, so...

So the daddy's getting pushed out?

That's exactly right.

And he starts to feel a little left out, you know?

He misses some of that attention that he used to get.

So...

Do you think you could help me out with that,

basically being in your own bed for a little bit,

so daddy can come back in the bubble...

For a little bit?

Sure.

Sometimes daddies are like little babies

who need attention too.

It's beautiful.

Sad...

Kind of lonely.

Is that the way you feel?

Well, it's...

It's the way I've felt for a little while...

Oh...

I guess.

Yeah?

Hey, kid.

I love you.

Bottom line, okay?

Always liked the drama

I always liked a joke

and I'm not gonna lose you.

I always liked the law and

I always liked a smoke

got a Jack?

Go fish, my friend.

Jack!

How about that? This...Makes...

All...Four.

All right, mom.

Gaby says I have to

to ask another feeling question today.

So how was that group meeting

of people with shared interests

and experience who like playing cards that you went to?

It was good...

Really good.

It's the prettiest gardenia

got any 3s?

Go fish.
