- Took some photos?
- Mm-hmm.

These are pretty good, Max.
You ought to do people.

I say I want to talk about
possibly selling the house

and you pull a year-long project
into the driveway?

Peet might not be
exactly who you're picturing.

- Hi. You must be Julia.
- Hey.

Open your eyes. I don't want
you to make the mistakes I made.

Your mom called, like,
two or three times.

She's annoying.

- You don't know rock and roll!
- Whoa, whoa, hey.

I gotta tell the band
I'm dropping 'em.

Gonna get those songs back.

You want ashes of Rome
to come back here.

Thank you.

Okay, do you want heavy
or light peanut butter?

You already made my sandwich.

- I didn't make--
- Yeah, you did.

- I didn't make your sandwich.
- Right there.

Oh, my God,
I did make your sandwich.

What an idiot. Okay. Um...

Yesterday you gave me
two thermoses. I only need one.

Well, that was intentional,
though,

because I'm really concerned
about your hydration.

It's my top priority.

Hey, I can't find
his backpack anywhere.

Are you sure you brought it
home from school yesterday?

Honey, I didn't pick him up
yesterday, you picked him up.

[Knock on door] No, I didn't.

Yes, you picked him up
from school.

- Hey, everybody.
- Hey, Uncle Adam.

- Sorry for the intrusion.
- No problem, no problem.

Just have some more
hand-me-downs from Nora there.

- Oh, thank you.
- Hi, Uncle Adam.

Jabbar, what's going on, buddy?

- Nothing.
- Coming in hot.

- What a beautiful day.
- Come on, let's get your shoes.

Yeah, that's a number two,
I think.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah, we got a--

- got a little fresh load there?
- We sure do.

Listen to me.
I have got some great news.

We got the rights.

- Congratulations.
- To the songs.

What songs?

To the Ashes of Rome songs.

The three songs
we already recorded.

The label said
we could have 'em.

You got them
to give you those songs.

Yes, I did.

What deal did you make?
They don't just give song--whoo!

I made a sweetheart deal.
That's all you need to know.

- You made a sweetheart deal.
- Yes, I did.

What is the sweetheart deal?

I simply traded the studio
time for the songs.

- That was 72 billable hours!
- All right, I know, I know.

But these are the first...
They were my hours.

Three songs on the first
album--we talked about this.

Yeah.

I said, "I'm gonna go get
the songs," you said, "okay."

But I didn't really
think you would

possibly be able
to pull it off.

Well, that was your mistake.

You didn't believe in me.
But look at me. I got the songs.

- Kind of.
- Listen, you said--

- by giving away my labor...
- Listen to me.

- You pulled it off.
- You said they're good.

You said that they're good songs
and he can sing.

He's a great singer.
You're right.

But he is insufferable,
and I'm not gonna work with him.

This is a good thing,
all right?

So you gotta man up.
I want you to be excited.

The Luncheonette label is alive
and well. We're making an album.

I'll tell you what,
I will man up if you man up.

All right, deal maker?
Deal with that for me.

Make a deal. Make a deal
with the hamper on that, okay?

I'll see you at work.
All right?

[Bell rings]

Max Braverman,
cedar knoll yearbook.

Wait, Max, I don't
have my lip gloss on.

- We weren't smiling.
- It doesn't matter.

Photography's
about real moments.

Fake smiles
are not real moments.

Max Braverman,
cedar knoll yearbook.

[Shutter clicks]

- Is he taking our picture?
- What are you doing?

- What's your problem?
- Max Braverman,

cedar knoll yearbook.

- Stop it, get away from me!
- She's crying.

- So?
- Don't be a jerk.

I'm capturing moments
for the yearbook--real moments.

- Go away!
- What's wrong with you?

Get away from me!
Stop it!

Just leave us alone, freak.

Just go away.

[shutter clicking]

Hey.

Hey, hey, hey, M-Millie, look.

There she is again.
She's taking pictures.

- Hey! Hey!
- Zeek. Zeek.

- Hey. [Whistles] Hello!
- She's not bothering anyone.

- What are you doing?
- Hi. Hi. I am so sorry.

- She's not bothering anyone.
- Well, she's bothering me.

I should've introduced myself.
I'm Karen Fillman.

Corning realty.
Camille Braverman.

My husband zeek.
Nice to meet you, zeek.

You guys, this place
is so gorgeous.

I was just in the neighborhood

dropping off papers
at the Taylors' place.

- Oh, I heard they sold.
- They did. 30% over asking.

Five solid offers. I've never
seen anything like it.

This place is a goldmine.

Did the Taylors have to do
a lot of work to their house

before they put it up
on the market?

Because we haven't
done anything in so long,

and tell you the truth,
we need a new roof.

Sure, the Taylors' house
was modernized,

but it doesn't have the charm
that this place has.

This one would sell
at top of the market.

A handyman special like this
would go in a second.

If you want
I could take a look,

I could maybe give you
a price range,

get you a better idea
of what it's worth.

- That would be great.
- No, I don't think so.

What'd you call this,
a handyman special?

II didn't mean anything
by it, Mr. Braverman.

Yeah, well, it's gonna stay
a handyman special

if I have anything
to say about it.

Nice meeting you.
See you later.

- So you plunged it, eh?
- I plunged it like crazy.

- Okay.
- I'm not a plunger.

[Chuckles]
Is the clog very visible?

No, nothing, totally--
watch your step. Totally clean.

- Oh. Oh. Oh, okay.
- Yeah. You know?

We had this problem in 4e
last week, and this--

oopsie.
- Wow.

This baby fixed it right up.
So I think--

- do you need help?

You've come to the right place.

What is that baby?

This is a plumbing snake.

- Is that for toilets?
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- And what we're gonna do...

Look at you.

Is really, like,
work that clog.

I'd like to offer help,
but I'm useless.

No, it's okay.
[Grunts]

Give it a real good--
[Growls]

- Is that too hard?
- Really get in there.

Think I felt something
move, so...

- Need help?
- No.

- 'Cause I can't offer it.
- You should be all set.

[Toilet flushes] Ha!

- Really?
- Yeah.

Job well done.

I ordered the sausalitos,
but I can cancel them.

So let me just make sure
I have this.

You want me to move the windows

so they're facing
South and west.

Okay. Yup.

I'll see you then.

[Sighs]
Peet wants more changes?

Yeah, it's part
of her creative process.

[Chuckles] That's very nice
of you to call it that.

I mean, I can do the work,

it's just how many times
is she gonna change her mind?

Well, until you put
your foot down, babe.

Okay, honey,
she's an architect.

It's not like I can tell her
to stop having ideas.

Okay, but you can
bill for the extra hours.

The bid is the bid.

Am I not allowed
to talk to you about this?

No, sorry, I'm just--
I'm pissed.

Okay, well, I'm not gonna
get in the middle of it,

but you agreed to a job
and that job is changing, so...

People like her
will take advantage of you.

I know, I've been there.

Okay, well,
the second I realize

she's taking advantage of me,
I will tell her.

- Good.
- Good.

It's really good
to have boundaries, you know?

From the outset.
Mmhmm.

I mean, we didn't send a fax
at the firm without charging.

Yeah, this is not the firm.

This is a totally
different thing.

All I'm saying is you don't
want to end up in a situation

where you're completely behind

or you've completely
eaten into your profits

and you have a family
to think of.

You're right.
I'll talk to her.

Okay.

You can frame it
as a conversation

about your creative
process together,

and she'll never even know
you're talking about boundaries.

[Cell phone rings]
Are you kidding me?

- Peet again?
- Your sister.

Hey, Sarah.

Yeah, okay.

Um, no, you can't snake it
through the toilet bowl.

You have to use
the outside line.

Oh, you did.

Okay.
Uh, I'll take care of it.

You got it.
[Clears throat]

How do I set boundaries
with your sister?

Her you just help.

We know that this has been
a rough week for you guys.

Yeah. I quit my cush graphics
job to record this album.

Look, screw the label, man.

They talk a sweet game

strutting out
their pimp a&r guy

with some rock credential credit
from 1940, all like,

"I discovered the bass player
for minor threat,

so I know what
rock and roll is."

I think minor threat's 1980,
but yeah, that's a valid point.

All right,
let's not quibble over details.

Whatever, man,

it's all part of the same
Katy Perry sausage factory.

I just don't want to be a
creative hostage anymore, okay?

I get that,
and we don't want you

to be a creative
hostage either,

and that's why we want
to produce your record.

Okay, and we want your
creativity to just flow freely.

Just free flow. Right?

Gates wide open.
Full deluge of creativity.

Would you please?

Viva creativity.

That's awesome
you flipped a bunch of switches

back in the day.

Mm.

But this is a record,
and you gotta produce it.

You're producing my record.
Right.

What about the songs
we already recorded?

Oh, you're gonna like this.

Tell 'em about the sweetheart
deal you brokered.

I made a deal
with your former label.

In exchange for the amount

that they owed
for the recording time...

I.E. My labor.

We have the songs.
We own the songs.

And that was
a big payday for us,

and I think that speaks to
how much we believe in you guys.

I don't know.
Sounds good to me, man.

- Does it?
- Yeah.

Why should we
take a chance on you guys?

We're taking a chance on you.

All right, whatever.
I just wanna make music.

Great. Let's make
a great album. We have a deal?

- Yup. Whatever.
- Let's do it.

- Let's go.
- All right.

You got a nice,
firm "whatever."

- Crosby, would you please?
- No, this is gonna be great.

Let's get crackin'.
Come on, let's make this album.

Yeah. This feels momentous.

Oh, God, I am so,
so sorry, Mr. Carlson.

Look, sometimes emotions
are so hard for Max to read.

You have to understand that,
you know,

he's come such a long way.

But I will sit down
with him tonight

and I will explain to him

why it was so inappropriate
to take that photo.

I promise you this will
never happen again.

It won't. It just won't.

The girl was crying,
Mrs. Braverman,

and she asked Max
to stop taking pictures,

and he wouldn't.

So now the girl's parents
are freaking out at me,

'cause apparently the family dog
died that morning.

They have a do--
oh, we have a dog. Otis.

We rescued it.
If it died it would be...

You know what, maybe what
I can do is call the parents

and sometimes all you need
is a little communication

and just it'll smooth
everything over,

and it'll be fine. You'll see.
Not necessary.

It's all cleared up.
It'll be fine. Good.

But I want
to move Max to layout.

Well, layout's where
you move pictures around.

Isn't it? Where you just
sort of put 'em on paper.

Design is a huge
part of the yearbook.

Right.

I get it, but see,
Max is a photographer.

Like, he's--
he's loving this so much.

And it's so good for him.
Mmhmm.

And I get that you want to
do what's best for your kid.

But there's 27 of them in here

who want to make this the
best yearbook ever

and yearbook is about best hair
and cutest couple.

Mmhmm. I remember.
I was--I get--

- yeah. Great.
Max doesn't really get that.

Okay, we sent him
last week to get photos

for the girl's varsity game.
Mmhmm.

And he stepped onto the court
with the clock still running.

[Sighs] I didn't know this.

I wish somebody would have--
No big deal.

He can always take pictures.

Just not for the yearbook.

[Sighs]

Mrs. Braverman. Hey.

It's Sarah. Hey.

Come in.

[Clears throat]

Can I get you
anything to drink?

No. Let's just
jump right in.

Okay.

Um, when Amber and I
had our thing,

I'm concerned about
it just being a rush.

And, you know, she hasn't spoken
to me in a couple of days.

Whoa, whoa, I'm sorry, stop.
Stop. Stop.

- It's not personal to you.
- No, I think that we're--

we're talking, maybe,
about different things.

I was talking about the toilet.
Like, isn't there a...

There's a busted...

Toilet here, right?

Oh.
[Laughs] Right.

Forget everything I just said.

Yeah, no, I guess
I need to talk to...

No, you don't need to anything.

- Talk to Amber when I--
- No, no, no, no, please, I--

- where's the toilet?
- Would be better if you did--

upstairs.
- Yeah, yeah.

Stop it, stop it, stop it.

- let's do, um...
It just--it needs more lute.

I'm really missing it.
More lute.

I just want it to almost drown
out the Marvin Gaye sample.

Just almost.

You want to also
put in a Marvin Gaye sample.

Yeah, we're just gonna
keep on layering and layering.

I want it to be, like,
a splish of Kanye West,

a splash of Daft Punk,

with a little sprinkle
of T. Rex on that, but still us.

Well, those are a little bit
conflicting ingredients,

but yeah, I mean, I--
maybe it'll--

- I just want this
to sound like

nothing anyone's
ever heard before.

We are accomplishing that,
I can promise you that.

- How's it going?
- Thanks, man.

Pssh.
[Falsetto] Magic time.

Yeah? Making the magic?
All right.

Yes, sir.

Going all right?

We are gonna take
another stab athear me now.

Hear me now?

Yeah, that's what
we're fixing to do now.

We already recorded that.

That's one of the three songs
we already have recorded.

That's right, but apparently,
according to the artist,

it had a startling lack
of lute and Marvin gaye.

That's what was broke about it.
Just tell him no.

- I can't tell him no...
- We gotta hustle here.

Because the new
marching orders here

are their vision is our vision.
I see. So this is my fault.

So if they want a bunch
of lute and Marvin gaye,

then by God, their label's
gonna give it to them.

It's their vision--their
vision within reason, okay?

Time is money.
Be a producer.

Hey, I am aware of the new
paradigm, which you created...

Oh, you are.

And its financial consequences.

So I'm doing what I can.
Let's just keep it moving.

- I'm gonna keep it moving.
- All right.

[Tuning lute]

The lute is ready.

Nice.

Yeah, I used the 2.8 lens,
which seems to have really

enhanced the natural light
coming in from the window.

Yeah, it really kind of

captures the agony
of High School.

I remember there was always

somebody crying
about some stuff.

Hey.

Hi, guys.
Oh, hey, look who's here.

I still have 17 minutes left.

Yeah, well, take it up
with the boss, all right?

- Hey, bud.
- Look at this one.

This is my best one yet.

This is beautiful, honey.

Hank says it really captures
the agony of High School.

I think it's gonna be
the cover of the yearbook.

You know, buddy, that's why
I'm here a little bit early.

I, um,
I just spoke with Mr. Carlson.

And this girl and her parents
are really, really upset

that you took this photo.
Why? It's a great picture.

I know,
it's a beautiful picture,

but I mean, look at how
she's feeling in this photo.

How do you think
she feels right now here?

- Sad.
- Sad. Right.

And sometimes
when people feel sad,

you know, they want to keep
those emotions private

and to themselves.

Then why is she
doing it in public?

Right. Right. She was doing it
in the middle of the hallway.

Sometimes when people express
their emotions in public

doesn't mean that you're
allowed to take their photos.

I mean, you have to
ask permission, I think.

Why? Hank says
photography is all about

trying to capture real moments.
I stand by that.

Right. And that's
a real moment.

Certain places
and certain times,

there are, for real moments.

But this was not one of them.
That's one of those times.

That right there
in that photo, that's--

that's one of those times.

- That's a good moment.
- Buddy,

can you wait in the car for me?

No, I still have
15 minutes left.

I had 17 minutes,
but then you wasted two of them.

You know what, mad Max,

we gotta finish up
that picture in the darkroom.

You want to get that?

- Okay.
- If that's okay.

Yeah, it's fine.

I'll be there
in a couple minutes.

I call him mad Max.
I think he likes it.

I can't tell.
Listen, Hank, I, um...

I'm so thankful for you,
for what you're doing for Max,

but, you know, I--
that photo, it's not a joke.

Like, it's gotten him--he's
in so much trouble for that.

And he's been demoted,
you know, to layout. Layout.

What do you mean, no, layout?
What's he gonna do in layout?

What are they doing?
I don't know.

I guess Photoshop, right?

That's a good thing for--
That's a joke, Photoshop.

You don't use--

- Photoshop sucks, okay?

Everybody does it,
but it's not photography.

Photography is in the darkroom,
making photos like this one.

Look at this. This is good.

I mean, it's really good.

I mean, subject matter aside,
which is a knockout,

it's got composition,
it's got depth,

great use of light.

That kid is a photographer.

He should be taking pictures.
Shouldn't be on layout.

So can we get that leveled

by next Thursday?
Uh...

All this. Yeah.
Yeah. Great.

I really want to get started
on the foundation.

What are those?

- That's the windows.
- Right.

Hold the beat on them.
The-the--

the windows you called me
about this morning.

Facing west and South.
Mmhmm. No, I know.

It's just there's a better way

to integrate the light
and the privacy here.

So I just want
to take one more look

before we set that in stone.

Okay, um...

You know, I'd love to have
a conversation at some point

about our creative process
together.

Sure. You want to talk
about boundaries?

Uh...
Uh, no.

Yeah.
[Chuckles] Yeah.

Let's have dinner.

Tonight.

No, not tonight.

Um, tomorrow.

Yeah.

Great. We'll get dinner
and a Martini.

I always think
a boundary conversation

goes down much better
with a Martini.

- [Laughs] Right.
- Or two. [Chuckles]

- Hi.
- Hey.

You're home so late.

I had a really uncomfortable

conversation
with your mom today.

Uh, when--
when did you talk to her?

Joel sent me over there
to fix a toilet she--

it doesn't matter.
Wh--what's going on there?

What did she say to you?

She-she said that

I guess she said something
about the wedding or me or...

[Sighs]

And now you guys aren't
talking to each other?

I feel like you should've
mentioned that.

Honestly, it was not
that big of a deal, okay?

Well, it's a big enough deal
that she apologized to me

while I stood there
like an idiot

having no idea what
she's talking about.

Okay, I--

- I just don't get
why you're av--

why don't you want to tell me?

It's like you don't trust me
or something.

What? Ryan, what?

It has nothing to do with trust.
Then just tell me.

Okay, what do you want to know?

- I have no idea.
- You know how she is.

What--she says stuff and makes
a big deal out of things.

Like what?

She was projecting
issues that she has

and her own fears
and insecurities

about her situation.
What situation?

Her marriage,
you know, onto mine.

And it was really unfair
and stupid and--

- like your dad stuff?
Like stuff--

like she's comparing me
to your dad or something?

No, she was making
a big deal about--

about the family thing.

About the fact that your
family's not gonna be there--

- I don't get why
she's so obsessed with that.

I don't either. I don't know
why you're upset with me.

I'm on your side about this.
Okay, okay, I'm sorry.

This is why I didn't
want to bring it up,

because it doesn't matter.
I know, I know.

I'm not mad at you.

I'm just trying to
figure out what's going on.

Sorry, I just feel like--
It's okay, I just-

- if there's a case against me,
I feel like I'm entitled

to know what it is.

No, it's--she just--

this is what she does.
She just--

it's like she, like,
holds on to things

and then spews them back at me
all at once, you know.

- Well, what things?
- I don't--

what do you mean?
I don't know--

- you said "things." You said
things that she's saying.

She keeps bringing stuff up--
what's--

- bringing up things
from our past

that aren't relevant anymore.
Like what?

Our problems last year.
Just like the--

- what problems?
- What problems?

[Scoffs]
Well, what did you tell her?

You know, with the car
and all that stuff.

What?
Ryan, she saw the car.

I was going to their house
for Christmas.

Does she know about
the fight at the funeral?

I don't know what
you want me to say.

At the time...

But that doesn't matter.

It matters to me.

hey.
Oh.

[Clattering]

What happened?

I had to pull out
a section of the wall

to be able to
get to the busted pipe.

Oh, no. It looks like
a lot of work.

How long is it gonna
take you, do you think?

Well, I have to put
the drywall back up and...

- Right.
- Toilet back in.

Okay. I brought
you some coffee.

- Oh, no, thank you. Thanks.
- Oh.

So, um...
I'm gonna have to move that.

Oh, I'm--don't--
I'll get it.

Uh... Has a lot
of products, huh?

Um, what caused it?
Could you tell?

- Prophylactics.
- What?

What do you mean?
Like, flushing? Flushing them?

Eww...

- Mrs. Braverman, it's--
- Yeah.

It's pretty tight in here.
Just trying to--

- oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Will you please call me Sarah?

- Right.
- Please?

Sorry to bother you, I was just
trying to figure out...

- No, no, don't be sorry.
- A timeline to tell my tenant.

It's gonna get a lot worse
before it gets better.

Right. Hmm.

- Hello.
- Hey!

Hey, partner!

Come on over!

You didn't start without me,
did you, grandpa?

Heck, no, I'm not gonna
do anything without you.

This is our project.

He's been looking
forward to this all day.

- Well, he's not the only one.
- Good. [Laughs]

- Okay, here you go.
- All right.

- There's the manual.
- Okay...

You start and we'll see
what we can come up with here.

- Okay. "Replace..."
- Good.

"The...

Carbor-a-teer."

Carburetor.

Replace the carburetor.

- That's it.
- Okay.

Oh, God, I love that car.

That car is
the best thing to happen.

Well, I don't.
I hate the damn thing.

What? Mom.

Mom.
Nothing.

Nobody cares what I think.

What's going on?

He's just completely
shut me out.

Dad has?

Yeah, dad.

Well, you can
talk to me about it.

All I asked him to do

was to have a look
at a condo with me.

Just look.

So we could discuss
the possibility

of what our act three
might look like.

And he goes and he buys that
piece of junk to shut me up.

That's not our act three.
It's his act three.

You want to sell the house?

No. Well...

I don't know, maybe.

You know, the Taylors got a lot
of money for their house.

- Yeah.
- They got over asking price.

This is a better house.
Yeah.

It's a bigger house.
It's too big a house.

You know, it's a lot of upkeep.

It's a lot of house
for two people.

You kids are
all grown and gone.

We could do
a lot of things that...

That I haven't done.

There's lots of things
I want to do

and I want to do them
while I'm still

young enough
to enjoy doing them.

Do you know I've never been
out of the country?

Mom, I had no idea you were
thinking about all this stuff.

[Chuckles] Why would it
even occur to you?

Joel. He never shut you out.

Listen, um,

don't mention this
to the others, okay?

Everyone is so emotional
about this house.

No, I won't.

I didn't even mean
to burden you with it.

That's fine. Mom,
I'm really glad that you did.

I am.

It's just a lot
of years, Julia.

It's a whole lot of years
with your dad.

Somewhere along the way,
I--

I lost my voice
in the relationship.

I don't know
how to get it back.

Incorporating the outdoors,
edible gardens

and sliding glass doors...
Yeah.

This natural flow between
the inside and outside.

Right, raw materials,
and that warm color you use.

Yeah. Thank you, yeah.

It's the house that you
wish you grew up in but didn't.

- Yeah. Yeah, it's that house.
- Yeah.

You're gonna make me
raise my game, Joel.

[Chuckles] Well, I haven't
even built anything for you yet.

Not yet.

But you didn't come here
to discuss design.

You wanted to talk
about boundaries.

- Yes.
- Fire away.

Thank you.
I just thought I'd--

it'd be good to get
out of the way

before we get into a situation

where, you know, we're behind

or we're eating into
the profits of my team.

And I've just heard
horror stories from my wife

who watched all these
young companies make--

- so is this your wife talking?

No.

Sorry. No filter.

No, that's okay.
[Chuckles]

No, but we're a team,
my wife and I.

Mmhmm. I get it.

Well, look,
I've never been married.

Not in any traditional sense.

But in this marriage,
the one that you and I are in,

this is about the long haul.

This is about, you know,
putting the sweat equity in now

and never going
back to the client

and asking for more money

and coming in under budget
and making beautiful homes.

The homes that you wished
you grew up in but you didn't.

Right.

And then doing it
again and again and again.

And making frickin'
loads of money.

[Both laugh]

- Well, you sold me.
- I did? That works?

Yeah, that sounds--
that sounds pretty good.

- Good.
- Yeah.

- Well, I'm glad we talked.
- Yeah, me too.

Let's get another
round of Martinis.

Come on, let's do it.
Yeah.

Cheers. Here's to that.

Here's to that.

[Band playing] [Laughs]

All right, okay.

I mean, that--this is it, right?
That's good.

It's been the same
for two days.

Pffft.
That was terrible.

Let's do that one more time.

You know what?
We got it.

With all those takes, we got it.
We're done.

Solid gold. I mean, boom.

Excellent.

Boom.
We're doing it again.

How 'bout that?
Let's do it one more time.

It's your vision.
One more time. Just one more.

One more time.
You're so easy to work with.

Okay, just one more.
Just--just try--

- "out of diapers. When are you
coming"--okay, you know what?

No, we're not.
Hey, guys.

I think everyone's
pretty exhausted,

so let's just
go home for the night,

come back rested in the morning,
give it another shot?

Gotta finish
this one song tonight.

I'm not going home on
a piece of crap take like that.

You guys stay. I'm out.

- You can't--you can't leave.
- I'm done. I'm done.

I'm done. I am going to get
diapers for my daughter, okay?

Sit down. You can't leave.

- What are you talking about?
- Crosby.

What?

Look, we need to finish this.

You can't leave
until we finish this song.

His label dropped him
for a reason.

He has some crazy,
pseudo-artistic fantasy

of how this album's
gonna turn out.

It's going to suck.
It's gonna be crap!

Okay, well,
we can't let it suck, okay?

We gotta make it good!
What do you want me to do?

Sprinkle my magic
fairy dust on it.

- Well, I wish you would, okay?
- I'm not a psychologist.

We've got a lot riding on this!

- You wanted this.
- Take the luncheonette

to the next level.
I would have never

tried to take it
to the next level

with a brand-new baby at home!

I've got a lot going on.
I can't be here with this idiot

for the rest of my life, okay?
Hey, take a breath.

There's never
a right time, okay?

Think it was easy for me?
What?

You think it was easy for me
when you came to me with

the idea of the luncheonette
when Christina was pregnant?

Oh, when I came to you

with the great idea
for the luncheonette?

I'm leaving.
Here's the deal.

You can't leave
until we finish this song.

- I can't leave.
- No, you can't.

You can't leave, Crosby.

Well, that opened.
What is this?

Huh. I wonder if...
Crosby...

- Oh, wow, I can leave.
- Crosby.

Oh, that's right,
'cause I'm an adult.

Don't you go down
those stairs. Don't--

don't you leave the studio.
Crosby, I swear to God.

Crosby, I--

- [claps]
I hope that was a beer run,

'cause we're not stopping,
right?

Let's take five.

Just taking five.

Taking five.

Or a purple dragon
with a blue car.

Pretty cool cakes.

What?

[Both laugh]

What are you doing here?
What're you doing?

I'm-what're you doing?
With the--

- diapers, man.
- Right. Good call.

- You buying a cake?
- Look at you, dad.

I am. I'm--

well, I was walking by here,
you know, walk by

all the time, but I never
really looked at the cakes.

- How decorative they are.
- [Scoffs]

Look at this.
That's like a whole volcano.

[Chuckles] Yeah.

You feeling good?

- Yeah.
- Yeah? Nice?

Well, I'm drunk.
[Chuckles]

Oh, you are!
I could never--

- it doesn't--

- it's imperceptible.
- Well, good.

Yeah. Where's Julia?

She's--she's at home.
I was at dinner.

At, um, the place
across the street.

- Hendrick's?
- That's the one.

That way.

- Wherever. That place.
- Yeah, yeah.

- Hendrick's.
- And how you getting home?

I was goa-a--well, the plan
was to stop being inbrini--

'nebriated.
- [Chuckles] Oh. Uh-huh.

Once I was done being tipsy
I was gonna get in the car.

All right.
I'll drive you home.

My name's Joel.
I'm gonna eat you.

Don't--don't mess up
your shirt.

Watch your collar, there.
[Groans]

You're gonna be busted.

Mm.

You know, it's about choices.

Life is a series of choices.

Now, I can choose to do
a little heavy lifting now,

and I can put our business
at the next level.

You know?
And that just seems like...

- Is that good?
- Oh, so good.

- It is. Can I try it?
- Surprisingly excellent.

Yeah, just don't
mess with my road right here.

This is all mine,
these rice kris--see how--

- oh.
- How good is that?

Joel, it's terrible.
That's bad cake.

- Is it?
- You're Dr--hey, listen to me.

You're drunk.
That's not good cake.

- Really?
- Don't eat it.

Starting to make me feel bad.

All right, I gotta go,
I gotta get these diapers

back to Jasmine or she's
gonna kill me, okay?

Yeah, Julia's gonna kill me.

How'd we get here?

[Laughs]

No, I mean, with--
you know.

Yeah, no, with,
you know, having kids

and, you know, businesses
on the precipice of something.

Yeah.

I don't know.
Yeah.

Oh, man, this is
one of my favorites.

- That's a song right there.
- Oh, man.

What a song.
Listen to how simple that is.

It is huge.
It just-wow.

-
You light my morning sky.
- Yeah, that's rock and roll.

Right there.

- mm.
Both: Mm-hmm.

Is it okay I used your loofah?

No!

- Okay.
- Uh-oh.

I don't need to loofah.
I have very soft skin.

Yeah.

Are you sure this kid
knows what he's doing?

- Who?
- The guy fixing the toilet?

Ryan? He does.
Yes, he does, absolutely.

Very much so.

'Cause, you know,
I have a plumber buddy

who would probably
cut you a deal.

That's okay. Thank you.

Unless--or you just love
having me in your shower.

I can stay.

I can't wait till you get
your water turned back on.

Okay.

Um...

So we could just call him,
I guess.

- Who?
- The guy.

No, no, no, no.
I can't fire Ryan.

Why? Are you--

oh, you and Ryan?
Are you hitting that?

- What?
- No?

He's my daughter's fianc?e.

Oh. Sorry. Okay.

What do you have to say
about that?

Enough said.

- Let's hear it.
- No, no. I get it.

That's totally understandable.

Yeah, right? Family.
Don't mess with family.

'Cause it's family
and family comes first.

And I apologize.
I didn't know.

Enough said. Yeah.

And good news here.

The lesson that we've gotten
is you now know

you can't snake a toilet bowl.

And you know
you can't flush your condoms.

Mr. Radford,
thank you so much

for taking the time
to meet with us.

After I left Mr. Carlson
I spoke with a family friend.

He's a photographer.
Great photographer.

Hank Rizzoli.
You may have heard of him.

Mmmm.

Really, really
well-known in Berkeley.

He's like the Annie Liebowitz
of Berkeley. He's amazing.

Wonderful person, too.

He really believes that Max
has talent as a photographer.

And he should be
taking pictures

of the yearbook--
for the yearbook.

Okay, I thought I made it
clear that this wasn't

about talent, Mrs. Braverman.

You made it clear,
but you know,

I sat down with my husband,
we talked to Max,

so this won't happen again.

The decision's been made.

I know the decision's
been made.

Mr. Radford, could you maybe

talk to Mr. Carlson
about last year

and how great Max was with
president of student council,

how much he thrived,

and how well he did.

And, you know, we had some
speed bumps here and there,

but in the end,
he did phenomenal.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

He did do well. And I'm happy
that Max had that experience.

But I gotta be honest with you.

It was really tough on
the rest of the student council.

Why do you say that?
I don't--

- I mean, I think the reason
that it worked out at all,

the only reason
it worked out at all,

was because Max was in charge.

But I still had to put out
a lot of fires.

Like what?
Nobody told me any of this.

I was glad
to try to make it work.

Because I thought it was
gonna be good for Max.

But this time I've got to
agree with Mr. Carlson.

We can't have him doing
photography for the yearbook.

It's just not fair
to the other kids.

Crosby just happened
to be there?

Yeah,
he was picking up diapers.

How much had you had to drink?

- Not too much.
- Yeah.

I was, you know,
trying to be safe, so...

- That's smart.
- Mm-hmm.

Okay, so if you hadn't
been drinking so much,

then, um, may I ask
the story behind this?

Uh, that is a cake.

It's, uh...

Looked so much better
last night.

- Mm-hmm.
- That cake.

But it was, uh
something I was buying

for the, uh--I was, uh...
Drunk.

- Yeah.
- I was drunk.

Yeah.

And I'm gonna choose
to not be upset

about the fact that you were
out very late,

drunk with Peet
and just lied to me about it

unless you tell me that
I should be upset about it.

You should not be upset.

Good. Then I'm not.

Good.

Okay.

So how'd it go?

Good. Good, actually.
You know, um...

I'm really glad you told me
to talk to her about it.

That's awesome.

Yeah.

So important
to nip these things in the bud.

It is. Yeah.

So you're gonna be billing
for the extra hours?

Uh, we agreed to, you know,

put the time in now
for the long haul.

For the long haul? Is that
what she's saying to you?

- That's what we agreed to.
- That's what she said to you.

That's what we talked about.

She and I, my business partner.
But she said that because

she's not the one
paying your guys.

She's not. She's the one
employing all of us.

She's not the one
taking the hit on this.

She is taking advantage of you.
She's taking advantage of me.

Yes.

Do you realize how big
an opportunity this is for me?

Do you understand?

Yeah, but you're
setting a precedent here.

And I'm saying you lost
perspective on it--

- I'm setting a precedent
so that I can continue

working with this woman
for years to come.

And she's gonna respect you
for standing your ground.

Step off!

I know what I'm doing.

This is my business.

This is not you, this is me.

- Hey.
- Hey, can we talk?

Come with me.
I need your help.

All right.

- Hey.
- Something like that.

Guys, could you come
over here for a second?

- What are we doing?
- Listen to me.

Right here. Meet the Beatles.
You see this?

Nirvana, bleach.
Nebraska, Springsteen, Elvis.

All these were breakout albums
recorded on a shoestring budget.

The title track on this one.
$4. Recorded for $4.

Bleach--
the whole album, 600 bucks.

Springsteen made Nebraska
on a four-track in his bedroom.

- Is that right?
- Yeah.

These albums
didn't have any money.

They were all
stripped-down and raw.

They weren't hiding behind
any fancy production.

They had something to say,

they said it,
and people listened.

So here's what we're gonna do.

We're getting rid of the lute,

we're getting rid
of the samples,

and all the layers,
and we're gonna record you guys

down and dirty
because you have the goods.

You're actually a great band.
You have great songs.

Oliver, as annoying as you are,

you can sing, man.

So just sing.

And leave the rest to us.

Okay. Cool.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

- Hey.
- Hello.

How'd it go, my man?
Good.

Can we just stay
a little longer?

I'm not finished
cleaning the parts.

Yeah, we're not quite
finished doing...

Right, okay.

Uh, tell you what, Victor, why
don't you go wash your hands,

and we'll tackle this
another time. All right?

- Okay.
- Thanks. Great job.

Thank you.

Man, I am telling you,

this whole car idea--

I mean, I should
have five of these.

- It--[Chuckles] Yeah.
- Yeah.

How does mom like it?

Your mo--
she loves it. Why?

Well...

She told me about the house.

About that condo
she wanted you to see,

wouldn't even talk to her
about it, she said.

Huh. Well, uh...

I gotta tell ya, that's
between your mother and I,

and I appreciate
your asking, sweetheart,

but really,
you're kind of intruding.

She has a right to talk to you

about whatever she wants
to talk to you about.

She has a voice in this,
you know?

Look, I am so grateful
for this car,

this has been
so good for Victor,

but you have to talk to mom.
And you have to listen to her.

Because she's your wife
and because

she has a right
to weigh in on--

on decisions that affect
both of your lives, you know?

Okay. You okay here?

It's--l'm fine.

Sorry.

I just had to say something.
[Chuckles]

Can I talk to you for a sec?

Hmm.

So, um, I talked
to your yearbook advisor

and your principal,

and they have decided to move
you to layout on the yearbook.

I don't know if I can do
both the layout

and take the pictures
at the same time.

I don't know--I don't think
I'll have time to do that

'cause I already have Hank
and I'm doing math warriors

three times a week.
Right.

Well, you won't be
taking pictures anymore.

What do you mean?

They just want you to do layout

and learn Photoshop.

No, no, but I'm
the best photographer.

You are.
You are the best photographer.

But there are other kids
at the school and they have to--

- no, that's totally unjust.

I mean, why wouldn't
the best photographer

be allowed to take pictures?

You'll still be able
to take pictures, okay?

You'll still be able
to work with Hank.

Hank doesn't have a yearbook.

I know he doesn't, but this
is what the school has decided.

They think that's best.

No, but it's stupid
and it's not fair.

Mom, answer me.
Do you think that it's fair?

No, I don't think
that it's fair.

Right, you don't think that--
no you don't think that's fair,

then why should we listen t--
Listen to me,

this is what they've decided.

Sometimes in life...
It's not fair.

Things aren't fair, okay?

And as you get older
you have to deal with that.

Okay, I think that this--
this sucks for you.

I think it's awful,
but we can't change everything.

We have to abide by
what they're saying.

No, it's stupid.
Why should it be like this?

I'm really mad about this.

You know what?
I'm really mad about this too.

I'm so mad about this.

So we're just gonna sit here
and we're gonna be mad together.

We're just gonna sit here
and be mad together.

[Sighs]

Mrs. Braverman.

- Ryan.
- Yeah.

Hi. Come on in.

- Uh, you have just a sec?
- Of course. Come on in.

No, I'm okay.

Um...

My dad died when I was 11

and my mom remarried

half a year later
to a guy from work

who was okay to her,
but thought corporal punishment

was the best way
to handle a wild kid

who was pissed as hell
about losing his dad.

Oh, Ryan, I'm so sorry.

No, no, no.
I don't need pity, I'm just--

I'm just--I'm just
telling you the reason

why I left home
as quick as I did

and never looked back,
never will.

Ryan, you don't have to
give me an explanation.

Well, I want
to give you the answers

to the questions
you keep asking, so...

Not everybody
has a family like yours.

And I know that I messed up.

I know that I did some things
the last time I got back

that scared you
and they should have.

It's your daughter.

But I love her.

I love her so much.

And I'm working so hard
to get better.

And I want to be worthy
of your family.

I want to be worthy of her.

And I know you think
that we're rushing,

we're going into this too fast,

but I can tell you grew up
real fast on your own.

You grew up fast
in the military.

I know what I want.

And I want us to start
our lives together.

Okay.

Thanks.

Oh, and Sarah...

It's fixed.

Thanks.

The toilet.

-
After all is said and done.
- Okay.
