- Hello?

NAOMI :
Andy.

Yeah. Naomi?

W-Wait, where are you?
How come you're not home?

NAOMI:
I'm-I'm sorry to wake you

in the middle of the night.

ANDY: Hey, what's going on?
Where are you?

NAOMI:
Listen, I'm gonna tell you,

but I don't want you
to freak out, okay?

ANDY:
Wait a minute, freak out?

What's going on?
You're scaring me.

NAOMI:
Yeah. No, I'm okay. Um...

I'm gonna be fine.

But, Andy...

I'm in rehab.

ANDY: No, hon, seriously,
where are you?

- NAOMI: I'm in rehab.
- You're what?!

NAOMI: No... That's
why I said don't freak out!

Okay? I checked myself in,
like, an hour ago.

Didn't you notice
I didn't come home?

ANDY: Wait a minute. Hold on.
Wait.

Wait a minute.

What are you talking about?

Why would you...

Why would you be in rehab?
For what?

NAOMI: Because I need help,
Andy. Why else?

ANDY: Wait a minute. What...

Wait a minute.

- What are you talking-- I don't
understand. -Okay, hold on.

- Are you telling me--
- Help with what?

- Unbelievable.
- I-I-I don't--

- Of course. -Thought you were
lying there in bed with me.

No, I don't know...

- Honey. Honey, look.
-

Naomi, look,

sometimes you probably drink
a little too much.

- Oh, Andy, come on.
- It's not good, I know.

But, you know,
everybody does that.

- But rehab? You're crazy.
- No, it's not--

It-- Listen,
it is not the drinking.

- I have to take something
to wake up. -What?

And I take something
to go to sleep.

And I... I've seen
every doctor in L.A.

I even had to drive
to Orange County.

- Orange County? What the--
You... -Yeah.

Wait a minute. This is, like...

Honestly, honestly, I'm
telling you, this is so insane.

I feel like I'm hallucinating
or something.

Of course you didn't know.
Of course you didn't know.

Why would you know?

You're out the door
every morning

before I can get a word in,

and you're out every night
for work.

We lead totally separate lives,
and I'm just...

- I'm invisible.
- So this is my fault?

How can you know nothing
about my life?

I have this enormous weight,

and I've been carrying it
around for so long.

And I cannot do it anymore.

Wai-Wait a minute,
wait a minute.

Wait. Okay.
This is just not true.

- How can you say that?
- This is just not true.

Then enlighten me.

ANDY:
Okay. You're upset.

I get that.
But, h-honey, I know you.

You're a wonderful mother.

- The woman I live with...
- Andy.

a drug addiction. -Andy.

You're not hearing me.

You're not listening to me.

I've checked into
a rehabilitation center

It's on Malibu Canyon Road.

It has yellow walls and a woman
at the front desk named Cecile,

- and I am staying here
for 90 days. -

Wait a minute. What?

- I got to go.
- 90 days?

- Take care of the kids, Andy.
- 90 days?

You'll do great.

Wait, no. No, no, no.

I'm coming up right now.

Just stay put, and we'll talk.

NAOMI :
No, don't come...

- Can't-- I can't hear you.

Wait, you're cutting out.

No, I said don't come, Andy.

up there in an hour. -No.

I'll be up there in an hour.
We'll drive back down here

to say? -

I didn't realize

Where's Mom?

She would never forget.

Yeah, and Mom always leaves
a glass of water

by my bed at night,
and she didn't last night.

Yeah.

I-I wanted to tell you guys
something about Mom, okay?

What gives?

Mom had to go back home
for a little while

to see Grandma.

Mom's in St. Louis?

I thought you said she had

a doctor's appointment
this morning.

Yeah. No.

I'm sorry. I said that
because I didn't...

want you guys to worry.

But Mom had to go back and see
Grandma because, you know,

she's not feeling very well.

It's nothing serious,
but, you know, sh...

And, you know,
she's getting older,

so Mom wanted to go back and be
with her for a little bit.

Grandma's the same age as you.

No, she's not.

No, she's not. She... Sh...

Good deal older than I am.
But, anyway...

Yeah, yeah.

GREG:
Andy, you asked for it

in black and white, so...

Look, I can't control
the market, right?

I mean, you know,

nobody needs a painting.

Let's rewind for a sec. So you
took a loan out from the bank

to meet your obligations,

but there are salaries
to pay here, Andy.

Too many
for what you're bringing in.

I've been telling you this
for months.

Yeah,
we've been discussing that.

we're not sure
it's the best time

- to let people go.
- Right.

GREG:
Guys, come on.

You're just covering costs.

And then each month, the tidal
wave rolls through again.

You have to borrow
from Peter to pay Paul.

At some point, Peter goes broke.

May I?

- Please.
- Andy.

I think, in fact, it may be
time to consider relocating.

I know we've been here 26 years,
but the rent is killing us.

Cy.

:
Come on.

There's history here, you know?

28 years, by the way.

GREG:
Andy, look at it this way.

Your artists just aren't
commanding the prices

that the real estate demands.
Right?

Last month, I suggested selling
inventory at a reduced rate.

And we tried that, but...

ANDY:
He's right. We tried it.

I can't reduce any more.
I'll lose all my artists.

I-Is that whose work
is out there now?

Yeah.

Oh. Yeah.

you guys...
you guys are in debt.

And at some point,
the faucet gets turned off.

Look, we've been having
these meetings once a month

for, what, seven months,
and there's been no improvement.

In fact,
things have gotten worse.

I'd say, without a new show--
and a fruitful one--

you are looking at, I don't--
like, a few more months.

Hi.

- Hey.
- Hey. Uh... First of all,

that was
a really interesting show.

I wasn't, you know,

- But it was great.
- Thank you.

- Andy Goodrich.
- Thank you.

- Nice to meet you, Andy.
- Yeah.

I was hoping we could...

chat for a little bit.

Well, I was on my way out, so...

I own the Goodrich Gallery,
here in L.A.

Oh. Okay. Yeah.

I was wondering if we could
talk about your mother Theresa.

Your-- your mother,
comma, Theresa,

- not Mother Teresa.
- I got you. Um...

I'm so sorry,

but I'm not really talking
to people just yet.

- Yeah.
- You know? I need...

just a little while
to think things through.

She just passed.

Yeah, no, I get it.
Totally understand, really.

I just want to tell you

I am such a fan
of your mom's work,

like, for decades,

and she wasn't discovered till,

you know,
really late in her career.

Yeah, well, she was lucky.

She always said,
"If you're a female artist,

- you're bound..."
- "Bound to be dead

before you make any money."

Yeah, I know.

She said that to me, too.

Hmm.

You know,
I remember the first time

I came across
your mother's work.

I immediately bought
this really nice little piece,

and I really wanted
to represent her,

but, you know,
she had already gone elsewhere.

I'm telling you,
here's what I think we do:

we-we raise her visibility,
you know,

which in turn's gonna
raise her price,

but she deserves it,
I'm telling you--

Sorry.

My mind is going
a million miles an hour.

- I'm so excited
talking about this. -Okay.

How do I know you're not gonna
just tag her into a show

with other Black female artists?

ANDY:
Solo presentation only. Look.

I know we're only
a little boutique gallery,

but that's to your advantage.

You're gonna get approached
by everyone,

if you haven't already.

Have you already?

Uh... no one else was
the only man at my show tonight.

I go to every feminist works
night I can get to.

-
- Okay.

Last thing
before I cut you loose.

Everywhere else,

you're just gonna be one of,
you know,

ten or 20 different estates.

You're just gonna be
on the director's to-do list.

If you come with me, you get me.

Okay, this has been
the longest day,

and right now my mind is just
on a hot shower, so...

- I will come to your gallery.
- Cool.

And we will meet more formally.

That is more than
I've offered anyone.

Cool.

And yes, there are others.

- How many others? I'm joking.

- You're a loser.
- Yes.

- Eh... not my words, yours.

- And you're not.

time heals all wounds, but...

I'm just sitting here, waiting,

Get out in the world more.

your healing process going?

ANDY:
Not good.

Still haven't heard from Naomi.

I don't know. Hate it.

I was over at my daughter
and her husband's house

the other day.

You know, it was--
I don't know, it was odd.

It made me feel like, uh...

...lonely, actually.

Yeah.

- Yeah, lonely.
- ALEXANDER: Dad! Dad, Dad!

Look at this Boba Fett costume!

TERRY:
Cool!

There's a jet pack
and arm guards

and an ammunition belt!

Aw. Man, this is
really, really great.

You know what, bud?
It's a little pricy.

I bet we could find something
even cooler than this.

Oh. Okay.

Ooh, I don't think so.

Love it. I love it.
Good find, dude.

Excellent find.
Stick it in the bag.

- ALEXANDER: Yes.
- That's going with us. -Ah. No.

- Andy, you don't have to
do that. -No, it's on me.

- No...
- Forget about it, man.

- Don't worry about it.
- We'll get something else.

- He'll wear it one time.
- It's so not a big deal.

Don't...

Thank you. That's so nice.

Have you thought about

telling the kids
the truth about Naomi?

I mean, I'm sure
they already have a hunch.

They're so intuitive, you know?

They-they know so little,
but they pick up on so much.

- They're funny like that.
- I-I have.

It just... seems like the end
of something for them, I think.

You know? I mean, they still
believe in the Tooth Fairy.

They don't even like it
when their meat touches

their vegetables on their plate.

- Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad!
- ANDY: Hey, hey, hey, hey!

- What do we got? What do we got?
- Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

'Cause I got about five minutes
of this place left in me.

Okay. I'm going to be
a demented zombie,

and Mose is gonna be
a dead alien ghost.

It's gonna be so awesome.

Okay. Okay.

I think I have a better idea.

-
- Trick or treat!

WOMAN :
Wow, what do we have here?

A hip old man
and a beautiful young señorita.

Oh, look! Boba Fett!

Okay. Give it back.

Okay, wait. Okay,
I'll trade you for this candy.

Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa. Let me look here.

Dad, I already checked.
No nuts.

- Thank you.
- Let me double-check.

I'll give you this one.

- Boo!
- : Oh, my God.

Andy, you scared me.

This house is incredible.

Yeah. Thanks.

- It's a nice house.
- It's so nice

and cozy and chic and...

- Yeah.
- ...like, perfect.

How long have you lived here?

Since, uh, 17? No, 18 years.

- Oh, wow.
- Yeah. 18 years.

Hey, you drink whiskey?

Uh, you know, I'm more of
a rosé fella, but yeah, sure.

- Thank you.
- There you go.

Yeah. I bought it right after
my, uh, divorce from Ann.

Oh, Ann.

That's your
older daughter's mom, right?

- Yeah. Right.
- How long were you two married?

Uh, 14 years.

- Hmm.
- She's in the art world, too.

- Hmm. -She's, uh, the director
of the Walton Museum downtown.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

Museum director.
That's a big job.

Yeah, it is.

Actually really knows
the art world.

She's pretty brilliant,
I gotta say.

Which, uh, explains...

...probably why
she left me, but...

You know,
this is actually really good.

Yeah, it should be.

- 31-year-old bottle there, pal.
- What?

Andy, are you nuts?

Don't waste this on me.

I wouldn't even know
the difference.

Sure you would.
You're a man of taste, I think.

And seem to be a guy who enjoys
the finer things in life.

Anyway, just enjoy it.

How often do I get to, you know,

drink with an elf?

- Mm.
-

- Okay, wow.
- Is that a good okay?

Good okay? Bad okay?

- Good, good...?
- Well...

Fuck!

Oh, fuck!

Oh... Oh...

Let me start by saying sorry.

- : Oh, my God.
- Dude. So not a big deal.

You know, I just-- I've been
out of the game so long.

- Sure! -And I-I thought
the roaring fire

and the sexy music

and the 30-year-old whiskey...
I just, I don't--

- I-I thought things were
getting romantic? -Right.

So, I could see a guy go,
"Yeah, he's..." but...

By the way, let me ask--
Do I seem gay, though?

- Do I? -I am
very uncomfortable right now.

- No, dude. I'm telling you--
- Anyway, um...

Great seeing you, man.

You know what?

For the record,
I'm way too young for you.

Well, that's hardly
the issue here, pal.

You told me to get out there.
Meet new people.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
but I didn't mean me.

I wasn't talking about me.

It was that 30-year-old whiskey.

Shame on you for serving me
that spoiled shit!

Dude, you had a little sip.
It wasn'’'t that big a deal.

No, no.
I said a silent "l'chaim"

and I drank the whole thing.

And I am dressed like an elf!

Alex! We have got to go!

Dude, you have
got to relax, man.

Seriously. Look.

My wife's in rehab,

my business has just
gone to shit...

Some dude kisses me.

At this point, really,
you want to know the truth?

Almost doesn't fucking faze me.

Oh.

Guys.

ANDY:
Can I talk to you guys?

Guys?

Are you dating Alex's dad?

No, I'm not.

It's okay if you are--
we like him and all-- but...

I'd have to tell Mom
you're dating a man.

Sure.

Sure. That's understandable.

But no, we're just friends.

But, you know, thank you
for being so open-minded.

I mean, honestly, I'm not sure
if I believe anything you say.

You lied to us.
You and Mom both lied.

You know what?
You're right. We did.

We shouldn't have.

We didn't want
you guys to worry.

But we should've been honest
with you guys.

I'm sorry.

So what's the truth?
Where is she?

Okay, well...

...your mom wasn't feeling
like herself, you know?

So she started to do some things
to make herself feel better.

Turns out those things
weren't good for her.

So, she decided,
'cause she's smart,

to go away to this place
where there are lots of doctors,

really good doctors,

to help her feel better
for real.

Is that what rehab is?

Yeah. Yeah, kind of.

Yeah, it's kind of like
when you're,

you know, when you get sick,

you guys go to the doctor,
you know?

Basically the same thing,
except...

it's just gonna take
a little longer.

Is she gonna die?

No, absolutely not.

She's gonna be fine.

She's gonna be better
than before, even.

Is that why she took
all those pills all the time?

Because she wasn't
feeling like herself?

Yeah. I didn't know
you knew that.

Well, I live with her.
It wasn't really a secret.

Yeah. I wish I was
as smart as you.

When is she coming home?

Well, it's gonna take
a little while, you know?

She's gonna be there
for a little while,

but then as soon as
she feels better,

she's gonna come
right back here to us,

to you guys.

Promise.

I know it's not the same,
but, you know...

I mean, I'm not going anywhere.

- Okay? I'm right here
for you guys. -Mm.

- Okay?
- 'Kay. -'Kay.

Hey.

Perfect.

You want to see pictures...

...of where Mom is?

I don't think so.

Okay.

I'd like to.

Okay, check it out.
Look. Come here.

Definitely not Swiss Mocha,
I can tell you that.

Okay.

Whites will make you crazy.
Simply White.

- Simply White. Okay.
- That's the color.

- Hey, hi.
- Hey.

You're early.
That's okay, that's okay.

That's a good thing.
That's a good thing.

PR team's not here yet,

and I have got a ton of stuff
to go over with you.

First, come meet my kids.

Yeah, Andy, wait. Wait.

Um, I came early
'cause I need to talk to you.

Okay.

Yeah, there's really
no easy way to say this.

Um, it's not personal, okay?

- : Okay.
- I want you to know that.

Oh, I should just
say it, I guess.

Um, I gave the estate
to another gallery.

One in New York.

They flew out here,
and they, uh,

they-they lined me up
with a huge buyer already,

promised me a-a show
in every city.

New York, London, Paris.

We... we even got accepted
to Basel.

Yeah. Wait a minute.

Is this a done deal?

Yeah, it is.

I just signed
the contracts, and...

you know,
we didn't have any, so...

No, we didn't.

We didn't have a contract
'cause all we had was,

you know, your word.

Andy.

Let me ask you something.

The whole thing about, you know,

family and everything,
what was that? Was that--

That was true, of course.

This wasn't an easy move for me.

I-I wasn't looking for this.

They pursued me.

The offer was just...

It's a lot of money, Andy.

I'm a 50-year-old single mom.

It's Alex!

Excuse me.

Hi. I'm looking for

He was brought in about
an hour ago. I'm his father.

Hey.

I was shooting
all the way in Burbank.

Here's the deal.

- Yeah, yeah.

Okay, okay, here's the plan.

They're gonna
keep him overnight,

just to make sure he doesn't
have another episode, right?

- Yeah.
- And as soon as he's okay,

they're just gonna send him
home in the morning,

and everything will be okay.

He was so great, man.

He was so brave
getting his stitches.

He must have been so scared.
I can't believe I wasn't there.

Oh, come on,
don't beat yourself up.

He's gonna be fine.
Honestly, don't worry about it.

I'm sorry I took my eye off him.

No. God, come on.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
A guest spot on a soap.

- That's good.

No, you should go.

No, no, no,
I'll stay here with you.

- No, no. Thank you. I'm fine.

Okay, okay.

All right.

Hey, don't worry,

Don't worry.

You look worried. Come here.

All right. Take it easy, buddy.

Oh, yeah, nope.

Love you, too, buddy.

Hey.

I couldn't have done this
without you, you know.

I want you to know that.

Hi. Hey.

First off...

I just want to thank everyone
for even coming tonight.

This is, uh,
this is a special night.

A sad one, but, you know,
monumental for me.

This is big.

You know,
the Buddhists say, in the end,

there are really only
three things that matter:

how much you've loved,

how gently you've lived

and how gracefully

you let go of the things

that really weren't
even meant for you.

I haven't lived that gently.

And, uh, I think you all know

I have a little hard time
letting go of things.

But then there's love.

Yeah. Man.

And the love, I mean,

I feel so much love
here tonight.

And I have to tell you,
I have loved this gallery,

boy, with everything I've got.

You know, when you see
something with your eyes,

like, you know,
schoolchildren, let's say,

crossing the street

in maybe a little bit
of falling rain

or the way that morning sun,

you know, comes
right through your window

and hits a bowl of fruit
on your kitchen counter...

Or, even better...

...that smile
on your daughter's face.

You know, you...

you close your eyes
and you think,

"I have to remember this."

Because, in that moment,

that's a piece of art.

That's just art.

Oh, boy. Okay.

Well, this has been
a long journey, folks.

But it's been
the ride of my life.

Hey, thanks for coming.

♪ ♪

They all come at the end.

Dad.

Eh, it's true.

Hey, it was so nice
to see everybody.

Honestly, it was great, but,

really, did kind of feel like
a guest at my own funeral,

you know?

Well, if you ask me,

I think this is actually
a really good thing.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, like a whole new chapter.

Yeah, maybe.

Hey, I'm gonna get
to see the kids a lot more,

travel a little bit.

Maybe even take
some tango lessons.

And you're gonna be
a grandfather.

Oh, come on, Goodrich,
it's just a word.

Okay, I got to--
I got to sit down.

No, no,
don't worry about it, Dad.

I got it.

- Honey...
- No need to help me.

Honey, you don't have to nail me
at every given opportunity.

Nicely done, thank you.

- Oh.
-

- Grandfather.
- Yeah.

Grandfather's like a guy
with bushy eyebrows

and a walking stick
and a tweed jacket.

I feel like you're describing
the old man from Up.

Look, I know this conversation
is gonna be held against me

at some point,
so can we just kind of,

you know, delete it
from the transcript

and let it be known
that I am really, really

excited about the baby.

In fact, the word "ecstatic"
comes to mind.

Here.

I don't know if you've noticed,
but I am extremely pregnant.

Ah, you're fine.

You're-you're fully baked.

You're good. Trust me,

I've been through
enough pregnancies.

- I know.
-

Drink with me.

Speaking of being
an expert in this field,

um, I have
my last doctor's appointment

before Christmas tomorrow,

and it's getting
a little uncomfortable to drive.

Mom's in New York
and Pete has to work, so...

- Now...
- I was wondering if you...

Your old man is
very, very, very available.

He would take you.

Gladly.

Kidding me? Can't wait.

Thanks for
coming tonight, honey.

I know, but still,

- it was nice.
- Come on.

You know,
this kind of feels like

an end of an era for me, too.

ANDY:
Hmm.

Well, this midlife crisis

is no walk in the park,
I'll tell you that.

I didn't realize you were
planning to live till 120.

- Please don't, okay?

I don't think I can afford
the therapy bills.

Oh.

I can't wait to see them.

Look, I'm so sorry.
I-I should've called.

I just, um...

I didn't...

I didn't really know
if you would want to see me.

No, I mean, I knew
the 90 days were up

'cause I got this
little reminder on my phone...

...that went off, so...

of course I want to see you.

Andy--

Why did you have to do it
like that?

I would've helped you.

I didn't know what else to do.

You know, I was scared.
I was so scared.

And I didn't abandon our family.

I-I really hope
that you know that.

I know. I know.

I just did not want them
to see me like that.

- I know. -It's not how
I want them to think of me.

- I know. I know.
-

- I know that.
- Okay.

I'm sorry, Naomi.

to say, but...

this is the...

first time I've had
a chance to say it

while actually looking at you.

Thank you.

Anyway, um,
I'm on the other side now.

And-and I'm--
And I'm doing good.

You know, recovery,
it's just such a journey,

but I'm-I'm starting to feel
more like myself.

Great. Good, good, good.

Hey, I really want to help you
this time, okay?

'Cause I've been doing a lot
of reading about it and, uh...

I just really want
to help you, okay?

I love you.

I've been--

I've been doing, um,
a lot of thinking.

I've had a lot of time to think,
and we are gonna...

be better as friends.

Oh. Okay.

Deep down, didn't you
kind of always know that...

we weren't gonna make it?

Uh...

Actually, I can't say
that I did, no.

- Didn't see that one.
-

- We've got a lot to be
grateful for. -Yeah.

You know, we got
two beautiful kids and...

you're gonna be a grandfather.

Yep.

Yeah, about...

Oh, shit.

- Come on, come on, come on.

Hi. You've reached Grace--

- Ah, geez.

If you leave a message,
I'll call you back.

Shit.

Gracie, honey, I'm on my way.

Okay? Okay, okay.

Honey, I'm on my way, okay?

Right there is fine. Thank you.

-

- Oh, my God.
- I'm here.

You remembered
you were supposed to pick me up?

No, I know, honey.
I called Pete,

and he said to meet you here.

- I tried to reach you.
-

What happened, huh?
Something come up with the kids?

Did you forget?
What was it, Dad?

Uh, well, uh, Naomi showed up.

Oh. Okay, well, I'm glad
that she's up and running.

Maybe now I can just go back

to being someone
you call from the car.

Or when you need to know what
temperature to bake a potato.

- Oh, Gracie, come on.
- Are we done here?

Because I'm late for a doctor's
appointment because of you.

I'm sorry. Look, the woman
just showed up at my house.

What was I supposed to do?

I haven't talked to her
in 90 days.

- I have to talk to her.
- No, I get it, I get it.

- Priorities. I get it.
- No, honey, come on.

- Look, I'm only
a few minutes late. -

I'm here now.
Let's just go upstairs.

- You don't get it, do you?
- Get what?

I waited for you like an idiot.

I'm so sorry. I feel awful.

I hate letting you down.

:
You hate letting me down?

Yes, I do.

You've let me down
my whole life.

This-- This is nothing.
This is a doctor's appointment.

How have I let you...?

Don't answer that.
Let's go upstairs.

I thought you changed.

I really did.
I thought you'd grown up.

And-and you know what?
Maybe you have.

But it's all for them.
I'm not a part of that.

I'm a part of the original cast.

I don't get to reap the benefits

of the new and improved
Andy Goodrich

who makes you pancakes
and shows you old movies.

No, no, I got
the never available, never home,

never asked you
how your day was Goodrich.

Honey, this is really
not good for you right now.

Oh, really?
'Cause I think it is.

I-I think it's really good
to get things off your chest

that you've held in
for 30 years.

I'm mad at you.

And I have been
for as long as I can remember.

Just a-a steady stream of mad

with spurts of liking you
in between.

Do you know how hard it is
for me to watch you

be father of the year
all of a sudden?

Do you know how painful
it is for me?

They get a version of you
that I never had.

I-I never even got to live
with you past the age of 11.

I don't even remember
what you look like in pajamas.

We're just friends, you and I,

but-but they have you,
all of you.

Th-They get you,
and I never did.

But do you know
who shows up for you?

Do you know who's
always there for you? Me.

- I know.
- For better or for worse, man.

Because I'm the only person
that loves you

as much as you love yourself.

And another thing.

D-Do you know why
I married Pete?

Because he's nothing like you.

And maybe that, maybe that's
why you don't like him.

Okay, honey, please.

Do you know that every time
I-I see you,

I want to run into your arms
and slap you?

I mean, it's the single most
confusing thing in my life.

Because nobody, nobody can
break my heart like--

Oh, my God.

What? What's going on?

Oh, my God, it's happening
and I'm with you!

What? What's happening?

- I'm sorr-- What?
- It, Dad! It!

- Are you sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.

- Okay. This is okay.
- The doctor last week told me

that I was on track
for full term,

but I'm not due
for three and a half more weeks.

- Okay. Okay.
- And-and I'm not dilated.

And this isn't supposed
to happen

- with your first baby.
- Right.

Oh, my God, Mom is
in New York and Pete--

- No, we're good.
- Pete. Okay.

- What do we do?
- Y-You got to call Pete.

You got to call Pete
and you got to tell him

he's got to grab the bag.

Got it, got it.
Should we go upstairs?

No, Dad, we have to go
to the hospital!

Got it. Let's go. Okay.

W-Will you call Pete?
Where's your car?

ANDY:
Come on. Come on. Here. Hey.

Pete. Pete, Grace is in labor.

We're on our way
to the hospital.

Let's go. Come on.
It's go time.

Tell him to grab the bag.

Hey, grab the bag, dude.

And the slippers by my bedside.

Okay, and grab the slippers,
her slippers,

on her side of the bed.

Yeah, and, uh, and my cozy robe,

not the one that I blow-dry
my hair in, the other one.

Grab the cozy robe,
not the other one,

not the hair-drying one.
What else?

- Aromatherapy spray.
- Aromatherapy.

Don't forget
the aromatherapy spray.

Oh, oh, oh, oh!
And the cord blood kit.

- It's over by the front door.
- Do you want to talk to him?

ANDY:
Okay.

Okay, sweetie.

- You're having a contraction.
- Squeeze my hand.

Just, there you go.
Squeeze that.

-
- There you go.

You're doing great.
It's almost over.

- Worst is over.
- Dad?

- Yeah?
- I'm really glad you're here.

Me, too, babe.
Me, too. I'm so glad.

I'm really sorr--

- Squeeze this one for a while.
- I'm okay now, Dad.

I'm okay, I'm okay.
I'm okay right now.

- Okay. Come on.
- Yeah, I'm okay.

Oh, and I'm sorry about
all the horrible things

that I said to you.

Please, don't even
think about that.

Don't worry about that.
You're hormonal.

No, no, I meant them.
I just shouldn't have said them.

It was really mean of me,

and I hate when I get like that,
and I'm really sorry.

Don't worry about it.
It's okay.

- : Okay.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

- Hey.
- Yeah?

You're having a baby tonight.

- Yeah.
- In fact,

this baby might be born
on Christmas.

It's the most
religious thing I've ever done.

Well, Grace,
you're progressing really fast.

So, if you're comfortable
with the epidural,

I think we should
move ahead with it.

Okay, I-I actually
was kind of hoping

to go without that,
if that's okay.

It could slow things down

but will definitely help
with the pain.

Yeah. Okay. She wants that.

Okay, looks like I'm gonna
be here for a little while,

but I'll call you as soon as
the baby's born, okay?

Yes, I promise.

I promise.

I know.
I'm glad she's home, too.

Okay. Okay, love you.

Okay, love you. Hey, Pete.

Oh, God.

- Come on, Pete.
- Hey.

- Whoa. You all right?
- How is she?

- She's good.
- Oh, good.

- Come on. Come here.
-

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Hey.
- You okay?

- How is she doing?
- Oh, she's doing great.

I think the feeling's starting
to come back in my hand.

- I'm gonna be a dad.
- You're gonna be a dad.

Good luck with that, Pete.

[indistinct chatter,
announcement over P.A.]

Uh-oh.

Hey, Grace?
We are gonna go ahead

and turn you on your side, okay?

- GRACE: Wait, what? Pete!
- Wh-What-What's happening?

- I don't know what's happening.
- DR. VERMA: Hello, everybody.

Okay, let's see what's going on.

Oh, okay, so your contractions

are just one on top of the other

and the baby's having
a hard time

normalizing its heart rate.

So, let's put her on
her other side. Here we go.

- So, Mom and Dad.
- GRACE and PETE: Yeah.

This is the plan.

I'm gonna just wait
for a couple of minutes,

see if the heart rate
normalizes by itself.

We want to see
the heart rate go up.

And if not, I'm gonna go in and
perform an emergency C-section.

Wait, what?

Oh, my God.

Hey, let's just
talk through this, okay?

- Hey.
- Yeah.

- Let's just talk through this.
- Okay.

Okay? The baby's gonna be
just fine, I promise.

Hold my hand. Hey.

We're gonna bring the baby home
to that beautiful

gender-neutral nursery
you set up.

And we're not gonna sleep
for like six months,

but it won't matter.

And then, before you know it,
it's gonna be

the first day of school.
Can you believe that?

But I'm gonna be a basket case.

But you, you're gonna be solid
and put together.

A total ace.

And then you're gonna
break down in the car.

- -And we're gonna
have great family vacations.

Because you make
the best itineraries.

Yeah. And we're gonna
take a picture of us

holding the Leaning Tower
of Pisa like that.

And we're also gonna make
a ton of mistakes.

But then we're gonna
have a second kid...

GRACE:
Oh.

PETE:
And we're gonna make less.

I think our baby's gonna be
really embarrassed by us

for a while in high school.

Especially me. I know it.

But we'll get through it.
And we're gonna have each other.

- Right?
- Yeah.

And then college.

We're buying sheets
for an extra-long twin?

How did that happen?

I think our baby's
really gonna miss us

when they go to college.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.

PETE: And I think
we're gonna get ourselves

a little apartment
on the East Coast.

Have ourselves
a little renaissance.

It's gonna be so great, Grace.

And it's just starting.

Right here, right now.

Yeah.

- I love you so much.
- I love you.

Dad, are you crying?

No.

No, not at all.

Okay, baby's heart rate
is coming back up.

- Good job, Dad.
- Oh, wow.

- DR. VERMA: Take a quick look.
- PETE: You sure?

- : Yeah.
- Okay, great.

DR. VERMA:
Let me take a look.

Okay. I think
we're ready to push.

You ready, Grace?

- I-I--
- PETE: You got this.

- I'm ready.
- Yes, you are.

- Okay.
- You got it.

DR. VERMA: All right,
she's ten centimeters.

- Pushing. I'm gonna--
- Everyone, step out

- who's not essential, please.
- I'm gonna step out of here.

- Okay.
- NURSE: Okay. Just relax.

Hey, sweetie.

Yeah, Dad?

One more thing, you know,
before I go.

You know you're
my soulmate, right?

Just wanted to tell you.

That's it.

Okay, I'll...

- Okay, let's do it.
- DR. VERMA: Okay.

- Let's go.
