When it comes to matters of bullying...

So Sydney's picking on Melody?

Joel, um, I'm seeing someone.

Oliver Rome freaked out and left the sound check.

Get in the car and get to the show... Oliver!

When Ruby is with you, she's with you.

I don't even want Sarah around.

Do we understand each other?

Surgery went well.

There were no complications.

We'll just have to see how he responds.

[Text alert]

What?

Ahem!

[Clears throat loudly]

[Coughs loudly]

Did I wake you? What time is it?

Oh, it's beautiful out.

We overslept, and you gotta get to the breakfast,

right... for Amber.

- Brunch. - Okay.

- It's 11:30. - Is it brunch? Yeah?

Ah, you're up now. I've got a cleaning lady coming too.

Can you believe this? I forgot.

- At 7:00? - Yeah. That's probably her now.

She's a little early. I'll let her do the front room.

Go to sleep. I don't know... I'm sorry to wake you.

Why did I do that?

Hey!

- Hey. Good morning. - Hey.

- Thank you for taking her. - Yeah, no problem.

All right. Ruby...

- I have an early thing, so... - Well, and you're in a rush.

I got it. It's all good. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah.

- Hi. - Yeah.

I'm sorry... I don't... he said it was the cleaning lady.

I... hello.

Good morning, Sarah. Sorry.

No, she knows who you are. You're Sarah.

Her daughter's pregnant so she's gonna have breakfast with us.

I'll just put some clothes on.

"Rome alone.

Rome courted by sub modo records?"

Are you kidding me... Body slam!

Aah! Jabbar! Come on!

Hey, what's going on?

You can't just jump on my ribs.

What happened? Are you hurt?

I mean, my ribs are just bruised.

It's not... it's already healed.

Why are they just... wait, why are they just bruised?

I got in a little...

what... little what?

I got in a little motorcycle spill.

- Whoa. - What happened?

What do you mean, a little motorcycle spill?

That doesn't look like a little motorcycle spill.

- It was a little... - Have you seen a doctor yet?

What am I gonna see a doctor about?

They're just bruised. How do you know?

'Cause you're not a doctor. Well, if they were broken,

there would be, like, shards and stuff stabbed in my lungs.

You don't even know... why didn't you tell me this earlier?

You need to see a doctor for that.

I'm sorry I yelled. It's fine.

I'm tough. It'll be okay.

- No, it's more like, "we don't ride motorcycles.:

- Sorry I yelled. - That's the lesson here.

Don't ride motorcycles.

Right. But you're still tough.

Okay, I bet you he wasn't tough when he hit the ground.

You didn't sound tough a few minutes ago.

- I didn't cry, so... - Yeah, right.

You would've cried.

She wouldn't cry. You want to see a traitor?

Right there. Oliver Rome.

So here we have our common room

where most of our group activities take place.

This is where you guys all hang out and sort of converse

and talk with each other, and...

down here we have your core classrooms... classrooms a and b.

- Cool. - And lunch is here at 12:00.

Hey, buddy. Max, this iis Dylan Jones.

She's our newest student.

This is Max.

ADHD and general behavioral issues.

What are you in for?

All right.

I got kicked out of my old school.

This makes number four.

Is it as miserable here as everybody says?

Nonverbal, huh? Cool.

Actually, he's...

he's a good kid. You know what?

I don't know what you've heard about chambers,

but I know that this is an awesome school,

and I'm really proud of it.

I think this is gonna be a really good fit for you.

That's what they all say.

- Okay now, you wait. - I know.

- I'm gonna help you. - Okay.

Oh, God.

Hey, I think said I was gonna help you.

- Yeah. - Hey, pop.

How are you?

Looking good.

Gosh, Millie. You know... no fuss here.

- There's no fuss. - Hey.

You just need a little help, you know?

Yeah, we got you all set up.

Mom and I have discussed it.

We put you bed there in the living room.

You got your own suite. Yeah, so you won't have to...

- I've got a suite? - Yeah.

- Walk up the stairs. - Now, how about that?

Figured it'd be best if you had your kitchen,

and bedroom, and bathroom all on one level.

- All right? - Okay? You got it?

Yep, I got it.

- Okay. - Oh, God.

Okay, just remember that the doctor

said you have to work up to walking around the block.

You've gotta take it easy, first.

- Yep. - Right.

Doing great.

You okay?

- Yeah. - Wanna head in?

You ready?

All right, let me help you out a little bit.

- Okay. - All right.

Okay.

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

may you build a ladder 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

Hey. Have you seen this Oliver Rome article?

I don't know what to do.

- You read pitchfork. - We're screwed.

I thought you got all your music news from Starbucks.

Crosby, this isn't a joke, okay?

Yeah, obviously it's...

and none of this would be happening, by the way,

if you were able to keep him on tour

like you said you'd be able to.

Well, again... I... okay, I...

that tour's keeping the lights on, here.

Yes, I understand that, okay?

Well, how much can he do? We have a contract.

Yeah, we have a contract with ashes of Rome.

We don't have a contract with Oliver Rome, the solo artist.

Are you kidding me?

No. We have contract with the band.

Oliver Rome is ashes of Rome.

What, you didn't sign anything with him?

It's a band. How was I supposed to know that

he'd try and go sign up as a solo artist with sub modo?

Listen to me, you screwed the pooch on this big time.

I screwed the...

you said you were gonna be able to keep him on tour.

That's like not having Michael Jackson

in the, well, Jackson five. Well, I tried calling him.

I can't reach him, so you tell me what we're gonna do.

This is on you. It's not on me.

I think the contract is the headline of this.

We really appreciate you guys letting us come by.

Well, we really appreciate you guys coming by.

Sydney feels awful about what happened at school,

so she just wanted to apologize.

Go ahead.

Syd.

I'm sorry I told everyone at lunch not to sit with you.

Syd, try it again.

What? I clearly apologized.

Now I just want to go home. Sydney.

Sydney.

Sydney, come back here. Syd.

Well, that was sincere.

Yeah.

We will talk to her.

Great. You'll talk to her,

so that I can get another bogus apology for my daughter?

No. What I want is your assurance

that this is never gonna happen again.

Honey.

Melody, would you go upstairs for a second, please?

I'm so sorry, melody.

Your daughter is out of control.

Okay.

I understand you guys are upset.

She's clearly going through a tough time right now.

I don't need to hear about your daughter's tough time.

I'm sorry. I don't care about that.

- I'm so sorry. - Well, maybe you

need to stop being sorry and, like, do something about it.

I don't know what else to tell you.

- All right. - I am so sorry.

Truly, I'm very sorry.

I'm gonna go talk to her.

Apologies again.

Hey, honey, look what I got.

For when I'm upstairs or around the back or something,

so you won't have to yell, just ring.

[Bell jingles]

Good idea?

Or not. What about this?

Have you done this?

Have you even moved from that spot?

Come on.

I was gonna get some fresh air.

I'm watching the John Wayne marathon.

It just started. Don't make me yell.

Yeah, well, it's a good thing we have TiVo.

Come on. Let's go.

Stretch your legs.

What happened to,

"you go at your own pace, Zeek.

Just take your time?"

What happened to that? Because the doctor

said we have to build up to a walk around the block.

The doctor the says... the "we" has got to stop.

It's not "we".

It's me, all right?

It's my thing, and he said take it at your own pace,

and right now my pace

is I'm gonna watch John Wayne blow something up.

Okay, then why don't we just walk here somewhere?

Let's walk around the couch. What?

We'll take a little walk around the couch.

Why the hell... I mean, why...

walk around the couch?

Well, because you got to...

you got to start moving.

If you want to run around here,

you just knock yourself out.

You go right ahead,

but just duck when you go by the TV.

How hot does it get around here?

Oh, 90.

Kiara, Justin, Edgar, Aaron, you guys rocked it today.

- Is this pork or turkey? - That is pork.

And, Edgar, you chopped those onions so fine,

we are gonna call you the chopper, all right?

- Mr. Braverman... - I want a nickname.

Oh, just a second Kiara. You want a nickname?

- Yeah. - Mr. Braverman...

you're the prince of peas.

- One second, Kiara. - This is succotash.

It is succotash. You're succotash Nash.

- I want one. - Mr. Braverman...

what do you want it to be?

- Gingerbread man. - You're the gingerbread man.

- Mr. Braverman... - How about you, Kiara?

- I don't want a nickname. - You don't want a nickname?

How come? They promote favoritism.

Okay, then you don't have to have a nickname.

Guys, grab yourself some lunch.

You guys were just on point today.

Awesome.

Hey.

Hey.

- My kitchen is humming. - I know.

It looks good in there. These guys are locked in.

- Locked in. - You know that?

- Yeah. - What's going on?

Just checking out the new girl.

You know, making sure she's adjusting okay.

- Max is letting her sit by him. - Yeah, I know, it's great.

Man, this is the first time he hasn't eaten alone here.

I know. It's only been...

so you want to give me a high five on this?

It's a great thing.

Just, there's something about her.

She's very abrupt,

she's very blunt... Well, so is Max.

- An attitude... - What do you mean?

I just... maybe I should walk over there.

- I don't want to do that. - Just... what?

- Kristina, you can't do that. - Tell us what they're saying.

- I can't do that. - Why?

Because you're headmaster Braverman right now, okay?

- Yeah. - You've got switch off

mom mode. I...

you've got to treat Max like any other kid here.

Okay? Okay.

- He's fine. - Okay.

- He's okay. - I'm not gonna do it.

All right. Yeah.

Why don't you go back to your kitchen?

Oh, so you can walk over there and check up on them?

- I wasn't gonna do that. - You weren't?

- I wasn't. - You sure?

- You have trust issues. - Do I?

- You do. - Okay, look me in the eye.

Are you gonna walk over there?

Are you?

No.

No?

That doesn't make any sense.

Yes, it does.

- Hi, Sarah. - Hi.

Uh, is Hank here?

Oh, hi Sandy. Um, Hank is not.

He's at a job.

He should be here pretty soon if you want to wait, or...

thanks, that's okay.

Could you please just tell him that I stopped by?

- Of course. - Thank you.

Sure.

Hey, Sandy.

You know, if you guys could use any help, you and Ruby,

I know the area really well

and I moved here myself with two teenagers,

and it's a big transition, and so...

listen, I know that you work for Hank and you...

we work together, but I know what you mean.

Okay, I think you two are apparently dating.

What goes on between you guys...

it's not my business,

and this is nothing personal against you,

but I moved back here

so that Ruby could spend more time with her dad.

And I... I just don't feel that that time

needs to include you.

And I feel like I was

pretty clear about that with Hank.

Oh, you've already had that discussion with him?

- Yeah. - Right. Okay.

Um, okay, well...

um, could you please just be sure

that you tell him that I stopped by?

Mmhmm.

All right. Thank you.

Bye.

Our journey of self-discovery...

namaste. Oh my God.

I cannot begin to tell you what an idiot Oliver Rome is.

He's on tour making a ton of money, having a blast...

that's too much for him, so now, all of a sudden,

he's at a spiritual healing center in big sur?

And he's in negotiations with sub modo?

I mean, if he sighs with them, luncheonette's done.

That's it.

So I have to go to big sur now, 'cause Adam's not going.

He's got a school to run.

Hey, go to daddy.

Baby, I think a spiritual healing center

is a really good idea.

Go up there, get a massage... Mmhmm.

Seaweed wrap or something.

Well, I mean, I guess the ride there will be relaxing,

which is maybe the only upside.

The drive. The drive there.

No, no. I'm gonna ride... I'm gonna ride the motorcycle.

It's pacific coast highway by the woods.

No, no. You're gonna drive the minivan.

You're not riding the motorcycle.

We just had that discussion earlier today.

No, no, no, we discussed that the boy

couldn't ride the motorcycle,

but I, as a grown-ass man,

am gonna ride the motorcycle.

No, you're gonna drive the minivan.

- I am not driving the minivan. - Really?

There's no world in which I am driving that minivan.

Chicken fried chicken for my little nugget.

Crosby's gonna go try and find him and talk to him.

I just don't understand how you guys

don't have a contract with him.

It doesn't make any sense.

My locker sticks on 23, and algebra sucks.

Don't say "sucks". That's a...

that's right. Don't say "sucks".

- It's a bad word. - Why can you say sucks?

Don't say bad words in front of your little sister.

- "Sucks" is a verb. - Honey, "sucks" is a bad word.

- Max, go work on your locker. - Hey...

I saw you sitting with Dylan today,

the new girl, at lunch. What are you doing?

She seems like a very nice girl.

I'm his mom. I want to ask him, okay?

I'm off the clock, right?

She calls me Asperger's, not Max.

- Wait... what? - What?

She says she knows that I have Asperger's

because I don't make eye contact and I say weird things.

She also says my Asperger's is what makes me weird.

She's doesn't call you Max? She says, "hey, Asperger's"?

Yes, that is exactly what she says.

- That's not appropriate. - That's actually unacceptable,

so I'll have a talk with her. It's time to call you Max.

I mentioned it, but she says she like calling me Asperger's.

She also calls me freak. What?

And she says that chambers academy

is a potpourri of freaks. Oh.

She said it was a potpourri of freaks?

- Those were her exact words. - Very inappropriate.

- Okay. - And she also agrees with me

that we should be able to go off campus for lunch,

especially since there's a chipotle two blocks away...

- Not gonna happen. - And that chambers academy

is the equivalent of a minimum security prison

because they don't let us leave.

Sounds like she had quite a conversation

with you, didn't she? Wow. Loudmouth.

Also, since my parents are the administrators,

I should be able to get special treatment, like lunch for life.

- She's... - And if I can't,

I should stick it to the man,

and you're the man, mom... in that situation.

You're the man.

[Door opens]

Hey. Still here?

Yeah, I was waiting for you.

Oh, huh. You never do that.

Well, you had a couple of messages while you were out...

I wanted to deliver personally.

Eye doctor called.

You're due for a checkup. Oh. Yeah.

Ellie patel is changing her shoot day.

Oh, and your ex-wife came by.

Heh.

- Came by here when... you two? - Yeah, she was looking for you.

Yeah, we had a nice little chat.

Huh.

That's not an image I like.

Yeah.

All right, look... listen, listen, listen... she's crazy.

Okay?

So anything that she says, you just got a grain of salt it.

So she didn't mean it at all when she said

that she doesn't want me spending any time with Ruby?

- No, she meant that. - Okay.

But why wouldn't you tell me that you had that conversation?

- And it's... - She said she told you that,

and I guess you were okay with it.

I'm just trying to keep everybody happy and separate.

I don't think you can keep things separate.

We're... you can't keep everyone just, in their own little box.

Well, what do I got to tell her anything for?

It's my relationship. It's our relationship.

Because she seems to think I'm some sort of assistant

with special benefits. Well, she's wrong.

I mean, she's got the wrong idea about me.

Of course she has the wrong idea, 'cause she's crazy.

Okay, well, nobody can read your mind,

so it might be the kind of thing

that is important to talk about.

I can't. She just...

mmhmm?

I go in, and I think I know what I want to say,

and she just keeps talking and talking,

and suddenly I'm agreeing to things

that I don't even understand.

I can't talk to her.

I'll talk to her.

That's what I'll do. How hard can it be?

And when Ron said she was out of control...

I know.

Maybe we should talk to the therapist, or...

no, I don't think so. I think she is out of control, though.

'Cause we're out of control.

I mean, what are we doing?

I don't know. Are we stalling?

The uncertainty of us is too much for her.

I get it. It's been hard on both the kids,

but, you know, we're doing the best we can here.

I don't... I mean, I thought that you moving out

would be the hardest part of this for them,

but this is worse.

They're just in limbo.

We... we have to give them some clarity.

[Dog barking]

Okay?

Heh.

What do you mean?

Okay, we need to tell them

we're not getting back together.

You ready... you ready to say that to them?

Yo, Asperger's, what's up?

Hey, Dylan, can you please come here for a moment?

Is this my first trip to the office?

Can you have a seat?

Oh, I prefer to stand.

I'm sorry?

I prefer to stand.

- Really? - Yeah.

Okay, well, I'm gonna have a seat.

- Okay. - So, here's the thing, honey.

At chambers academy, we don't call each other names, okay?

We treat each other with kindness,

and respect, and dignity. Uhhuh.

Okay, do you think you can do that?

- Sure. - Perfect.

- But I didn't disrespect Max. - Well...

no, your son has Asperger's.

That's just a simple fact. I mean,

I thought we were supposed to celebrate our differences here.

Look, I think the real problem is attaching stigma to the word.

That's what makes it derogatory.

Asperger's by itself...

that's just a DSM-5 diagnosis, Kristina.

Actually, it used to be a DSM-4 diagnosis,

but it's not anymore. And don't call me Kristina.

Call me Mrs. Braverman.

We go by Mr. or Mrs., or Ms. for staff teachers.

Yeah, you might want to rethink that.

The first name thing worked great at my last school.

It's totally progressive. The kids really responded.

That's not what we do here.

That is not what we do here. Okay.

- Okay? - Sorry.

- Okay. - Okay.

You're dismissed.

Oh, so I can go?

- Go to class. - Okay.

Thank you, Mrs. Braverman. Thank you.

Oh. Gosh, she's beautiful.

It's so good she doesn't have her father's nose.

[Laughs] Thank God for that.

Yeah.

How's he doing?

He's okay.

He's out of town putting out a fire for work.

It's so cool that you have your bed

in the middle of the living room, grandpa.

Yeah, it is cool, isn't it?

Hey, jabbar, come here a minute.

Hop down there.

Now, have you heard about the ice tea relay thing?

No.

Oh. Surprised... it's been going around.

'Cause Victor's been playing it with me.

What it is, see... you get your granddad an iced tea,

and you fill it, you know, the glass full of ice

and a little squeeze lemon, just like I like it,

and then you hustle back here as fast as you can,

and the fastest grandkid gets an incredible prize.

- All right. Tell me when to go. - You ready?

- Yeah. - Go!

All righty.

All right, well, the last grandkid gift was a Pontiac,

so I hope you got something good up your sleeve...

- Oh, yeah. - For this one.

Here you go. All right, it's coming, grandpa.

Okay. Atta boy.

Oh, not so fast.

Ooh.

He had a great time going.

What are you doing?

You want iced tea?

Come get it yourself.

So, what'd I win?

Let know your enormity

and my tininess

and help me see your infinity

and my finiteness

his truth is marching on

his truth is marching on

[Horn honks]

Hey, hey, hey.

Is this the healing center? Shh.

Huh? Oh.

Okay, keys out.

I am looking for Oliver Rome.

Is he a patient here? Shhshh-shh...

is he a patient?

You want... I feel like you want to talk.

Did you want to say something to me?

This is an emergency, guys.

I don't know what this is,

but I need to speak to Oliver Rome.

Dude, we're in the middle of a three-day silence here.

We cannot talk to you. You've got to be a guest,

anyway, so you're out. Okay, great.

Great. I'll check in.

Oliver. Hey. Hey.

- How you doing? - Yeah.

- Can I talk to you? - Man, you look good.

- Hey, hey, hey... can we talk? - What? Yeah, sure.

Yeah, let's just step out here for one second.

Not here.

Sorry. Sorry.

Ow, ow, man. Come on, this is so...

- look, I just... - Don't get so hostile, man.

I only need to talk to you for one second.

Okay, I'm so sorry I interrupted your yoga retreat

here at this tented Jonestown, but...

- but, it is... - I just...

I had to express to you that... Sorry, man.

I'm afraid you're gonna make a mistake.

Sincerely. No.

My brother and I helped you find your sound,

and that sound got you money,

and it got you women. And I'm grateful-yeah.

Yeah, but I'm leaving it all behind, man.

You couldn't have come at a more perfect time, man.

Stay the night. Heal with us, man.

II can't stay. I got a lot going on.

Fate brought us together tonight.

Let's just talk right now. We'll talk right now.

We got to go. I can't...

we got to discuss this, and I can't...

Come on. Just heal with me, brother.

Spend the night here?

And I'll be damned.

Oh. Oh, God.

Obviously, Jack didn't tell you I was here.

Oh.

[Straining]

Oh.

Oh, God.

Unh! Oh, God.

Zeek, what are you doing?

You're supposed to call me.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

All right.

All right.

What do you need?

I just want to take a piss!

Oh.

God.

Mm.

Ah.

Some guy who had the hots for her

back at law school or something.

- Who is it? - [Mumbles] I don't know.

Are they serious, though? I don't know.

I feel bad for Joel.

I like Joel so much. I really do.

What's up, buddy?

- Gonna cut my hair. - What?

- What are you doing? - Don't cut your hair, Max.

- Yeah. - Dylan says it's getting so

long that it's ridiculous. What are you doing?

No, no, no, you're not gonna cut your hair.

Hey, hey, hey, buddy, that's what we

have professional barbers for.

Max, you're not cutting your hair.

Let mommy have the scissors.

Dylan says it's so long, it looks

like I should start a boy band.

- Let go of the scissors. - Let go. Let them go.

I was going to practice on Otis first

so I didn't mess it up. Stop.

Let you grip go. Just give them to me.

Will you take me to a professional barber?

We will take you. Dad will take you.

Will you take me to a professional barber?

Yes, we will take you to a professional barber.

Max, take a breath and let go of the scissors.

Max, let go. Thank you, I'll take those.

I don't want to start a boy band.

You don't have to start a boy band,

and you don't have to cut your hair.

I don't want to... I don't want to...

- you're not cutting your hair. - Wow.

Oh my God. This kid is doing it.

She's clearly manipulating him, honey, okay?

- She's not manipulating. - No, she is.

Dr. Pelikan said this would happen, okay?

She's treating him like her little mascot...

telling him what to do, what to wear,

how do act, calling him Asperger's...

I think it's a little bit complicated, that they're...

I know you're feeling protective as a mother right now,

but she has her issues, he has his issues.

I am protective. She... his issue right now is her.

- I will talk to him. - Listen to me.

I do not want what happened last year to happen this year.

Look, she didn't pee in his canteen, listen to me.

Bullying... this is why we started chambers.

- Kristina, I will talk to him. - I'm telling you.

I will let him know he's the boss of his own hair.

He's the boss of his own hair.

His hair is gorgeous.

I will talk to him.

I don't know about you,

but I feel fully sound-bathed, you know?

Sonically cleansed to the Max.

Yes.

Hey, thanks for inviting me to spend the night.

I feel really close to you now,

especially after that weird yoga exercise we did.

- Mm-hmm. - It's all the more reason

that I want to make sure that we don't lose you.

So you got to tell me, what did Adam and I...

- shh. - Got you.

I'll be shush in one second.

You got to tell me what do Adam

and I have to do to keep you from signing with sub modo.

Yeah, I hear you. I hear you.

- Shh. - Give us one second, okay?

You can shush all day later.

I already signed with sub modo, man.

You don't sign with...

you're saying you already signed with sub modo?

You told you were in talks with them.

Are you kidding me? Shh.

Have you signed... yeah, yeah, I heard you.

I heard you first 25 times. Shh.

Yeah,

and those talks concluded tight before you came here.

- You already signed? - Before I got...

so I just spent the night with rip van winkle for no reason?

- Shh-shh-shh. - What are you shushing?

Shut up! You're not helping.

You're making it louder. Don't you realize that?

No, this is good, but you got to let it go.

This is good. You know how I know this whole thing's crap?

Because this is one of your members.

This guy's a fraud.

We were the only ones that stood by you when no one else would.

We recorded you.

We gave you your career, and this is how you thank me?

- Let it go, man. - Yeah, hey, he talked.

He talked. Give him a demerit!

You're ruining this for everybody!

All right, he's talking now!

Koresh, when does the kool-aid come out?

Let's do it. Let's light this place on fire, okay?

You guys want to be cleansed?

I feel clean! I feel clean!

Whoo!

This is horse crap and you know it!

Hey.

Okay, so you want to talk? Let's talk.

I've got to go first.

Let me go... please let me go first, if it's okay.

I've got to go first. I-go.

Okay.

Okay, look, you... you and I...

uh, not you and I.

Not you and I. Ruby, she... that's... Ruby's...

did you need anything to drink?

We're okay. We're okay. Thank you.

Okay.

Ruby... I want her...

I want her...

okay, what's going on, Hank?

Sarah's what's going on.

Sarah? I thought we came to talk about Ruby.

The thing is, that it's... listen.

Sarah and I aren't just dating.

We aren't just having...

we're not just sleeping together.

It's serious, Sandy.

And we're committed to each other,

and that's the way it's gonna stay.

At least, I hope to God that's the way it stays.

Sarah's a big part of my life...

she's gonna be a part of Ruby's.

I want that.

That's... that's what I want.

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah. Okay.

I didn't know that you and Sarah were serious.

Now I know, so... Okay.

Heh.

Okay.

Good talk.

[Chuckles]

[Door opens]

Hey, pop.

- Hey. - Looking good.

Yeah. What's happening?

You want to go for a walk?

- Your mother call you? - No.

See, your sister Sarah was just here,

and she threw your mother under the bus,

and that took about two seconds, so...

- this is my brilliant idea. - Uh-huh.

I think we should get some blood flowing.

Can't do it, honey. I'm very, very busy.

Got a John Wayne marathon going.

It's been on cable all week.

In fact, it's the second time around the horn for me.

- Second time? - Yeah.

That is the perfect reason to get some blood flowing.

Rooster Cogburn's about to team up with eula goodnight.

Which one is Rooster Cogburn?

I don't... Well, yeah.

Well, you should.

So what's going on with you, kid?

Oh, you know,

just doing what I do...

ruining my kids' lives.

Parents screw their kids up.

That's just the way it is, honey.

It's been that way since time immemorial, I think.

Doesn't matter... married, divorced, whatever.

You just screw them up.

That's just the nature of it, you know?

So don't think you're so special.

Honey, the only way not to screw them up

is not to have them.

What a shame that would be. Yeah.

Heh.

I'm gonna tell you something, girl.

You're one of the best moms I know.

I mean, you're loving.

You're compassionate.

You have such a big heart.

And Sydney and Victor, they know that.

They trust you. They love you.

You've been that way since you were a little girl.

It's gonna be okay, kid.

Thanks.

Can you do me a favor?

Yeah.

You put your head on my shoulder?

It's just... he's so stubborn.

Yeah. Well, he was that way before the surgery, mom.

- I just can't get him going. - Uh-huh.

Every little suggestion I make, he snaps at me.

I mean, we should have left the bed upstairs.

Why? That was a good idea.

Because then he'd have to move.

He'd have to move.

Now he goes from the bed to the couch,

back to the bed again.

- Mm-hmm. - We made it too easy on him.

Just give it a little more time.

He'll get there.

Oh, Adam, all our life together,

there was not ever a physical challenge

that he wouldn't tackle.

Right.

Now he just sits there.

I thought the hard part of this was gonna be keeping him down.

Mom, he's gonna get stronger.

It's just taking him longer.

I think he's afraid to try.

I'm afraid he's giving up.

Oh, mom. Come on.

Come here.

Come here, mom.

[Sniffles]

It's gonna be all right. It's gonna be okay.

Yeah, so, it's kind of a first for me, you know?

Nice. Yeah.

I mean, I said more words than her, believe it or not,

and they all kind of made sense.

Hey. Good job.

- Yeah, all right. - Really.

Don't... I'm not gonna make a big deal about it.

- It's a big deal. - Well, I'm glad.

I'm glad you're, you know...

you're out of the box now.

- I'm out of the box. Yeah. - You know?

I mean, between you and Ruby... [Knock on door]

Okay. Hey.

Hey. Hi.

- Hi. - Hey.

- Hey, dad. - Hey, kiddo.

- Nice to see you, Sarah. - Nice to see you, Sandy.

Hello.

- All right, sweetie. Have fun. - All right.

Okay. Good luck.

Hey, did you want to...

yeah, help yourself.

So, Ruby, I thought we'd do a pizza night.

You can... any toppings you want.

You can do, like, a meat lover, cheese lover...

I don't do dairy.

Oh, damn. Still?

See, I thought... I knew that...

ah, she just has... That's okay.

Well, there's plenty of stuff that isn't dairy.

Cheeseless... you ever had a cheeseless pizza...

which is really bread? Exactly. Yes.

- What are you wearing? - What?

Is that forever 21?

No. It's sometimes 40, I guess.

- Nice try. - Thanks.

It's a Valiant effort.

What is... what's maybe 20? What is it?

It's not a compliment.

I mean, you look... you look fine to me.

[Door closes] You...

don't.

Hey, bud. Can we talk for a second?

No. This is my screen time.

I will credit you one hour, okay?

That's fair.

All right, good. So, what's going on at school?

Why do you and mom keep asking me that?

Well, it's a new situation.

I want you to know you can talk to me about anything

that is of interest to you,

or if something's bothering you at school... or someone.

Like, maybe Dylan?

Or if it's okay, then it's okay.

Are you here as an administrator or as a parent?

I'm here as your dad, Max...

just as your dad.

Then I do have one question.

All right.

Anything. Go ahead, shoot.

What do you do when you like a girl?

Um... Okay.

I only had two pieces.

I think I had seven. How many did you have?

Dad.

Hey.

Hey, you left this in the back of the truck.

- Okay. - Hey, dad.

I know you want it for the big game,

and... oh, by the way, I didn't see your glove in there,

so you may want to check it. Oh, okay.

- I'll see you later sometime. - Cool enough.

Are you staying for dinner, or...

no, buddy. I'm not staying.

Okay.

When are you gonna stay, dad?

Well

Sydney, come here. Come here.

All right, listen to me.

I know it's hard

not knowing what's happening with me and your dad.

We've been talking about that,

and Hey.

And we're sorry.

I wish I could just tell you right now what's happening,

but the truth is that we don't know.

We just really want to make the right decision,

and we don't know what that is, so...

oh, sweetheart, you and me are so alike.

I know I hate uncertainty.

I hate feeling like I'm out of control.

I... sweetie, I'm sorry.

It's just...

it's just the way it is, bug, I'm sorry too.

It's just... I know, but it's something

that grown-ups are trying to figure out.

Hey, Syd, Syd, don't run away from this, please.

I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Okay, we don't have to talk about it anymore.

I just want you to know that if you're mad at me,

it's okay.

And if you're mad at dad,

it's okay.

All right, we're not going anywhere.

[Minivan pulls up]

[Door opens and closes]

[Motorcycle revving]

Hey! Crosby!

[Door opens]

Oh, well, look who's here.

Boy, do you look life crap.

Yeah, well... hey, did you leave the door open?

I did.

Could you just take your ass right back out again?

I can call it like I see it, you know?

Yeah, well, like you see it... yeah.

I had cancer, so I get a free pass.

You're a breath of fresh air.

I can tell you that.

How you doing?

Well, Kristina, I've been better.

- Sucks, doesn't it? - Uh-huh.

I think the crappiest part

about being sick for me was just the people.

I know it sounds so weird,

but the people just really pissed me off.

The sad faces and all the pity,

and the false sense of cheer...

"we can do this." The "we's".

- We... we... - The "we's".

Right? Oh, yeah.

We can walk. We can...

we can do it, right?

And all that.

Yeah.

I think the hardest part

was just knowing how sick that I actually was

and how I felt so awful all the time,

and just how... how scared I was.

You know?

You know, you don't have to pretend

to be stronger than you feel. God.

You don't.

But you have to try to get better.

- Oh, God. - You have to try.

You got it? Yeah.

'Cause a lot of people are counting on you.

Okay.

Oh, God.

Okay.

Get me up.

Okay.

- Okay? Come on. - Yeah.

You're gonna need

all the help you can get

so lift up your arms now

and reach for it

and watch the signs now

you know'll what they mean

you'll be fine now

just stay close to me

I'll make good

I'll walk with you through everything

in a song of good hope

walk with you through everything
