Amber Brown (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Episode #1.9 - full transcript
[Mr. Danziger] All right, settle down.
Only a few more minutes.
Be sure to choose your volunteer service
to do for a week
or hopefully a lot longer.
Most important is to discover
the positive impact
that volunteering can have
on your own sense of self.
- [bell rings]
- Now, get out there
and make the most of the rest of your day.
[speaking indistinctly]
Must be 7:30.
[chuckles] Right on the dot.
[speaking indistinctly]
[speaking indistinctly]
[chuckles]
Yeah.
[coughs]
Dear Diary,
if they're a couple,
that elderly couple I see in the mornings,
I'm glad they never got divorced.
They like our house
or our tree.
I'm not sure what they're looking at,
but every weekday morning
for the last month now
at 7:30 they come by.
He talks.
She smiles and laughs.
And he always makes sure she's warm.
That seems like the best love.
["All Good" playing]
[Sarah] Only a week away
from decision day.
[Max] Mm-hmm. Yes, it is.
Did they finally say how they're gonna
let you know? Like, call, email, text?
Uh, well, they emailed to tell me
that they weren't gonna email.
- Ah.
- Uh, but apparently, they're gonna post it
on all their Health Food Network
social media platforms.
- It's very exciting.
- Mm-hmm.
I am so proud of you.
[stammers] Proud of us.
I couldn't have done this without you.
- [clicks tongue] Aw.
- Look.
No matter if we win
this opportunity or not,
I am just glad
that we could experience the--
you know, the--
- the experience!
- Yeah.
But you might just win it.
Not-- Not that that's what matters but--
- I mean, it does, but you're right.
- [chuckles] Well.
Look, if we win, it would mean options.
We could get a bigger house.
Oh, you know I love this house.
I don't want to move.
We're moving?
We can't move.
No, nobody is moving.
Whoa. Sarah?
Wh-- What if I win
and they want me to shoot the show
- in the studio in Los Angeles?
- Don't worry. We'll come visit you.
- [gasps]
- [chuckles]
Amber.
You-- That is actually funny.
- Thanks.
- Well, cheers to that.
But could we just see some houses?
Max, it's just not the time
to have this discussion.
Okay. Sure. I was actually
talking to myself out loud.
No wonder you guys get along so well.
You're, like, on fire today. Good for you.
Whoo-hoo!
Any word?
Nothing yet.
They didn't even say anything about me?
Oh! Uh, yeah, uh--
- No.
- [chuckles]
I guess I'll have to
stick to real estate then.
[gasps] Unless the Health Food Network
wants to make me a regular
on one of their existing shows.
- [Max] Hmm.
- Could that happen?
- Nope.
- Yes.
- Pam.
- Max.
- You know, I got a question for you.
- Yeah?
[clicks tongue] What do you think
if Sarah, Amber and I
looked for a new house?
Would you show us some places in the area?
- Not going.
- Me neither.
Come on. Just to look at a few?
It might be the right time
to make a move, Sarah.
- I agree, for once.
- [Sarah sighs]
- Really? Is this a "really"?
- No, it's not a "really."
It was and is just a "consider it."
Amber,
what if we saw a house
that had a humongous bedroom,
- which you love…
- [Max gasps]
-…with your own bathroom…
- [Max gasps]
-…and a walk-in shower? [gasps]
- [gasps]
I like my tub because it's in this house.
Exactly.
[humming]
Good morning.
[Max] Hi. [clears throat]
[gasps] Eggs?
Oh, you betcha.
Brandi, Max and Mom wanna move.
- What?
- [Sarah] No, we don't.
We're just talking about options.
If you move, you have to find
two houses side-by-side.
I need to live next door.
And I wanna bring our tree
from the backyard.
I may need to live next door. [sighs]
Amber, did you think of
an idea for volunteering?
My mom set it up for me to volunteer
at The Salvation Army store.
Ooh, what's it for? Extra credit?
Yes. And to feel good about ourselves.
Well, you can volunteer for me.
Come to the office.
[gasps] I'll pay you.
We can have lunch and go shopping.
That's not really the point.
I'd feel pretty good
about myself doing that.
Me too.
We could always use volunteers at the gym.
Getting clients their waters,
their PowerBars.
Cleaning. Scrubbing down
the ellipticals and the bicycles
and the StairMasters and the--
and the other things, you know?
And then in between clients you could be
washing and folding the towels.
I'm not qualified for that.
Don't look at me. I wanna walk dogs.
I already called the Doggy Palace Rescue.
They use volunteers.
But I'm afraid I'll wanna bring one--
- Well, all of the dogs home.
- [chuckles] Yeah.
That would be hard.
- [Amber hums] Aw, good doggies.
- [dogs barking]
[Amber] Oh, a squirrel.
[dogs barking louder]
Hey, Amber. Why don't you go over to
St. Thomas Assisted Living Facility?
- You can volunteer there.
- Mmm.
- I don't know, Mom.
- Yeah. And it's close by.
I'm loving this idea.
You'd be a ray of sunshine there.
[sighs] I don't know.
I do. You'd be great at it,
whatever it is.
Thanks, Brandi. And you'll be great
at whatever the "it" is
- at The Salvation Army store. [chuckles]
- Thank you.
- Mr. Dayton?
- Yes, Brandi?
When do we find out about our--
well, your show?
- [Max laughs]
- [hums]
Next week, but we can check.
They're posting it
on all their social media platforms.
That's a picture of a zebra.
- I don't know why I have that.
- No. Yeah. T--
- There.
- [Max] This one? Yep. There it is.
- No, nothing yet.
- [groans]
- [Max] Yeah.
- [cell phone buzzes]
- [Max inhales deeply]
- [Sarah] Hmm.
- What?
- Phil. He, um--
He says he can't take Amber this weekend.
He's not feeling well.
Yeah, I noticed that.
At the taping he wasn't quite himself.
He was kind of, like, tired and crabby.
Kind of reminded me of Max.
- That's hilarious.
- [laughs]
- What is this? "Pick on Max day?"
- I'm into it. I love--
- That's every day.
- That is every day! Thank you.
[laughing]
[Amber] Dear Diary,
I have officially become a volunteer.
To be honest,
I wasn't sure about this job.
Actually, dreaded it a little.
Have to admit when I was younger--
well, younger than being this young,
I was a little scared around old people.
That doesn't sound very nice.
But it was just a true feeling for me.
But so far, it's not so bad.
I make the beds, bring fresh ice water.
I deliver mail, packages
and flowers to rooms,
which is cool because the people
are so happy to get flowers.
- Oh, thank you.
- [chuckles]
Thank you. [gasps]
[Amber] There are some real characters.
Like Mrs. Hammerton.
She got fake flowers
from her sister in Florida
and insists on me keeping them in water.
[chuckles]
I'll put them here by the window
where you can see them all day.
And I'll make sure they have enough water
within the next few days.
Thank you. Yes, make sure they're watered
and in the sun by the window, please.
- Aw.
- [chuckles]
[Amber] And then there are others
who don't get any deliveries.
I'm discovering the flowers,
the books and the candies are nice,
but I guess the thing
that older people want most…
- [no audible dialogue]
- [Amber] …is someone who'll listen.
And once you do listen,
they're very interesting.
Like a living, talking history book.
I'm learning a lot.
He gets the orange juice.
And my friend here,
something soft and easy to chew.
Jell-O. Have you got Jell-O? Fabulous.
Do you know anything about records?
Have you ever got a record player
or anything? Okay, they're big.
About this big around
and just all vinyl, okay?
And, uh, they're great.
[stammers] And there was tapes.
I mean, there was like, uh, 8-track tapes,
mmm, cassettes.
No CDs. No CDs.
What's a CD?
It's the new modern thing.
Well, maybe,
'cause I haven't heard of them.
Well-- [chuckles]
Well, you will. Okay?
I try to stay up to date
on all them there things, all right?
And I'm telling you right now, CD is it.
You're gonna love it.
- [chuckles]
- All right. What have we got?
Cards, anybody?
I can't imagine your mom
wanting to leave that house.
- She loves that house.
- Yeah.
I'm pretty sure
it's just Max who wants to.
- I love that house.
- Me too.

[coughs]
[sighs]
- Dad?
- Yeah, kiddo?
You okay?
Yes. Why?
[grunts] You're sweating.
[sighs]
Yeah, um,
it's not easy driving a car
with precious cargo in it.
You didn't feel good last weekend.
Are you feeling okay now?
Yeah. Yeah. I'm just tired.
Work is stressful.
So, um--
When does Max find out about the show?
Any day now.
What do you think about all of this?
It's cool.
Well,
I mean, it's okay.
It's not fancy and really cool
like your business job in Paris.
[clicks tongue] I don't know.
You and Brandi seemed pretty happy
in that makeup trailer.
Well, Brandi was.
Max, well-- Whatever.
He's not as cool as you, Dad.
You know it's okay if you like him, right?
But I don't.
I mean, I guess sometimes I sort of do.
But not really.
It's okay, Amber.
It's really okay.
Like you'd want it to be okay for Mom
if I liked Cynnie?
[chuckles]
Cynnie and I are just friends.
[sighs]
How do you really feel?
[chuckles]
Well, I mean, she's too stuffy.
Not your type.
Really?
What is my type?
Mom.
That's true.
And maybe,
just maybe,
you guys can be old and gray together.
We'll always be together
as far as being your parents.
Even when we're old and gray.
Remember that.
So proud of you, Ber.
Volunteering, taking care of older people.
That is goodness.
Thanks.
Thank you.
[scoffs] 7:29.
I wanna put music to them today.
["Together We Will Run" playing]
[sighs]
Where are they?
[sighs] Come on.
[sighs]
I hope you're both okay.
- [music stops]
- [stranger crying, sniffling]
[crying, sniffling continues]
Um, excuse me?
I think I hear someone crying.
Yeah, she's okay.
Just a lot of changes to accept.
- Keep up with your deliveries.
- Okay.
[crying continues]
[sighs]
[sniffles]
- Hello?
- [sniffles]
Come in.
[sniffs]
Hello.
Are you okay?
[clicks tongue]
Just feeling sorry for myself.
I do that too.
[chuckles] You do?
Oh, yeah.
Probably too much.
[inhales sharply, clicks tongue]
I lost my husband.
He died?
Oh. I mean--
I'm so sorry.
So sorry.
[inhales sharply]
Oh, I was lucky to have him.
He was the most wonderful man.
[chuckles, sniffles]
My name is Amber.
[smacks lips] I'm Cecile. [chuckles]
Nice to meet you.
You and your husband
used to walk down Canterbury Street.
- Yes. That's right.
- [chuckles]
That's my street. I live on Canterbury.
- [chuckles]
- I would see you and…
Richard.
…before school, from my window.
We used to live on that street.
- Me and my Richard.
- [chuckles]
Then my daughter moved us to Wisconsin,
oh, some 20 years ago,
just to be close to her.
- So she could keep an eye on us.
- [both chuckle]
That's nice.
But Richard didn't like it at all.
He wanted to come back home to Park Ridge.
[inhales deeply, sniffles]
So we got a condo on Touhy Avenue,
just wanting to be closer
to 6124 Canterbury Street.
What?
That's my address.
No.
Yes. Yes, it is.
You guys would always
look up at the house.
Because that's where
all our most wonderful memories are.
- Ah.
- [gasps] How's my kitchen?
What?
Oh. Oh, it's great.
It's great.
We love it.
- Do you wanna see it?
- [gasps]
Oh.
How I would love that.
- [chuckles]
- [gasps]
But… [sighs] …I can't leave here
without my daughter's permission.
Well, I can call her.
Excuse me.
Mrs. Williams, today we have
outdoor residents recess.
But best beforehand that you have a nap.
It's time for your nap.
I don't think I'll go outside,
and I'm not interested in a nap.
I'm not tired. But thank you.
I promised your daughter
that you'd take a nap
before going outside for recess.
- How the tables have turned.
- [chuckles]
You left your delivery cart
in the middle of the hall, young lady.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Please move it.
Oh. Yes, of course.
It was so nice meeting you, Mrs. Williams.
You call me Cecile.
I'll be back, Cecile.
I think we can stop now.
- Yeah. I think we have over 12 dozen.
- [chuckles]
If the bake sale sold these cookies
for even 25 cents each,
do you know how much money they'd make?
- How much?
- Uh, well. Let's see.
Twenty-five plus, carry the one--
A lot.
How do you sell houses?
I just round everything off.
[chuckles]
Ugh. I hope the school appreciates this
because I spend more time there
than I do here.
They don't.
But please note, moms like you
make the world go round. So…
- Aw, thanks.
- You're welcome.
You sure you don't wanna
go check out some houses with me?
Yes, I'm positive!
Amber's had enough change.
Well, you might wanna
think about redecorating.
- [sighs]
- You know, letting Max--
Have a say?
[stammers] Put his stamp on this place?
I mean, you're probably right.
It's-- It's not a bad idea.
Oh, no. It is probably a bad idea.
But I think it's the right choice.
- [cell phone buzzes]
- [clicks tongue, groans]
I heard my-- Ah, here it is.
Ah, Max is on his way back. Okay. [sighs]
The Health Food Network
is posting the winner tonight.
[gasps, exclaims]
Yeah. It's just so crazy.
It's so good. He's gonna get it.
I know he's gonna get it.
He was so great, wasn't he?
- He was.
- [inhales deeply, sighs]
A-And?
- [chuckles]
- [gasps] And you were great.
- Really?
- You-- So great.
Oh, you didn't have to say that.
I mean, at-home yoga in heels.
- Who would have thought?
- [chuckles] Right?
- I was really good.
- You were really good.
- I was in my moment.
- [chuckles] So good.
- [gasps] I'm gonna be famous.
- [laughs]
Which sweater would you like to wear?
Green. Richard's favorite.
Brandi should be here any minute.
Thank you. Thank you, kind sir.
I love my grandmother so much.
What's with the accent?
What do you mean, silly goose?
I said to act natural, not "acting."
And what's with the sunglasses?
We're inside.
I didn't wanna look suspicious.
Then you would have them off.
What kind of double agent
doesn't wear sunglasses?
- Oh, my gosh.
- Girls, we're not doing anything wrong.
- We're not?
- We're going outside for recess.
I just don't want you
to get in any trouble, Cecile.
How long is this outside recess thing,
Cecile?
One hour.
Do you think that's enough time?
Yes. Oh, please. We can make it. Come on.
- [Cecile] Come on.
- Right this way.
- [Cecile chuckles]
- Enough with the accent.
[Brandi] Sorry.
Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
Only a few more minutes.
Be sure to choose your volunteer service
to do for a week
or hopefully a lot longer.
Most important is to discover
the positive impact
that volunteering can have
on your own sense of self.

[laughs]
[coughs]
[sighs]
- Dad?
- Yeah, kiddo?
You okay?
Yes. Why?
[grunts] You're sweating.
[sighs]
Yeah, um,
it's not easy driving a car
with precious cargo in it.
You didn't feel good last weekend.
Are you feeling okay now?
Yeah. Yeah. I'm just tired.
Work is stressful.
So, um--
When does Max find out about the show?
Any day now.
What do you think about all of this?
It's cool.
Well,
I mean, it's okay.
It's not fancy and really cool
like your business job in Paris.
[clicks tongue] I don't know.
You and Brandi seemed pretty happy
in that makeup trailer.
Well, Brandi was.
Max, well-- Whatever.
He's not as cool as you, Dad.
You know it's okay if you like him, right?
But I don't.
I mean, I guess sometimes I sort of do.
But not really.
It's okay, Amber.
It's really okay.
Like you'd want it to be okay for Mom
if I liked Cynnie?
[chuckles]
Cynnie and I are just friends.
[sighs]
How do you really feel?
[chuckles]
Well, I mean, she's too stuffy.
Not your type.
Really?
What is my type?
Mom.
That's true.
And maybe,
just maybe,
you guys can be old and gray together.
We'll always be together
as far as being your parents.
Even when we're old and gray.
Remember that.
So proud of you, Ber.
Volunteering, taking care of older people.
That is goodness.
Thanks.
Thank you.
[scoffs] 7:29.
I wanna put music to them today.
["Together We Will Run" playing]
[sighs]
Where are they?
[sighs] Come on.
[sighs]
I hope you're both okay.
- [music stops]
- [stranger crying, sniffling]
[crying, sniffling continues]
Um, excuse me?
I think I hear someone crying.
Yeah, she's okay.
Just a lot of changes to accept.
- Keep up with your deliveries.
- Okay.
[crying continues]
[sighs]
[sniffles]
- Hello?
- [sniffles]
Come in.
[sniffs]
Hello.
Are you okay?
[clicks tongue]
Just feeling sorry for myself.
I do that too.
[chuckles] You do?
Oh, yeah.
Probably too much.
[inhales sharply, clicks tongue]
I lost my husband.
He died?
Oh. I mean--
I'm so sorry.
So sorry.
[inhales sharply]
Oh, I was lucky to have him.
He was the most wonderful man.
[chuckles, sniffles]
My name is Amber.
[smacks lips] I'm Cecile. [chuckles]
Nice to meet you.
You and your husband
used to walk down Canterbury Street.
- Yes. That's right.
- [chuckles]
That's my street. I live on Canterbury.
- [chuckles]
- I would see you and…
Richard.
…before school, from my window.
We used to live on that street.
- Me and my Richard.
- [chuckles]
Then my daughter moved us to Wisconsin,
oh, some 20 years ago,
just to be close to her.
- So she could keep an eye on us.
- [both chuckle]
That's nice.
But Richard didn't like it at all.
He wanted to come back home to Park Ridge.
[inhales deeply, sniffles]
So we got a condo on Touhy Avenue,
just wanting to be closer
to 6124 Canterbury Street.
What?
That's my address.
No.
Yes. Yes, it is.
You guys would always
look up at the house.
Because that's where
all our most wonderful memories are.
- Ah.
- [gasps] How's my kitchen?
What?
Oh. Oh, it's great.
It's great.
We love it.
- Do you wanna see it?
- [gasps]
Oh.
How I would love that.
- [chuckles]
- [gasps]
But… [sighs] …I can't leave here
without my daughter's permission.
Well, I can call her.
Excuse me.
Mrs. Williams, today we have
outdoor residents recess.
But best beforehand that you have a nap.
It's time for your nap.
I don't think I'll go outside,
and I'm not interested in a nap.
I'm not tired. But thank you.
I promised your daughter
that you'd take a nap
before going outside for recess.
- How the tables have turned.
- [chuckles]
You left your delivery cart
in the middle of the hall, young lady.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Please move it.
Oh. Yes, of course.
It was so nice meeting you, Mrs. Williams.
You call me Cecile.
I'll be back, Cecile.
I think we can stop now.
- Yeah. I think we have over 12 dozen.
- [chuckles]
If the bake sale sold these cookies
for even 25 cents each,
do you know how much money they'd make?
- How much?
- Uh, well. Let's see.
Twenty-five plus, carry the one--
A lot.
How do you sell houses?
I just round everything off.
[chuckles]
Ugh. I hope the school appreciates this
because I spend more time there
than I do here.
They don't.
But please note, moms like you
make the world go round. So…
- Aw, thanks.
- You're welcome.
You sure you don't wanna
go check out some houses with me?
Yes, I'm positive!
Amber's had enough change.
Well, you might wanna
think about redecorating.
- [sighs]
- You know, letting Max--
Have a say?
[stammers] Put his stamp on this place?
I mean, you're probably right.
It's-- It's not a bad idea.
Oh, no. It is probably a bad idea.
But I think it's the right choice.
- [cell phone buzzes]
- [clicks tongue, groans]
I heard my-- Ah, here it is.
Ah, Max is on his way back. Okay. [sighs]
The Health Food Network
is posting the winner tonight.
[gasps, exclaims]
Yeah. It's just so crazy.
It's so good. He's gonna get it.
I know he's gonna get it.
He was so great, wasn't he?
- He was.
- [inhales deeply, sighs]
A-And?
- [chuckles]
- [gasps] And you were great.
- Really?
- You-- So great.
Oh, you didn't have to say that.
I mean, at-home yoga in heels.
- Who would have thought?
- [chuckles] Right?
- I was really good.
- You were really good.
- I was in my moment.
- [chuckles] So good.
- [gasps] I'm gonna be famous.
- [laughs]
Which sweater would you like to wear?
Green. Richard's favorite.
Brandi should be here any minute.
Thank you. Thank you, kind sir.
I love my grandmother so much.
What's with the accent?
What do you mean, silly goose?
I said to act natural, not "acting."
And what's with the sunglasses?
We're inside.
I didn't wanna look suspicious.
Then you would have them off.
What kind of double agent
doesn't wear sunglasses?
- Oh, my gosh.
- Girls, we're not doing anything wrong.
- We're not?
- We're going outside for recess.
I just don't want you
to get in any trouble, Cecile.
How long is this outside recess thing,
Cecile?
One hour.
Do you think that's enough time?
Yes. Oh, please. We can make it. Come on.
- [Cecile] Come on.
- Right this way.
- [Cecile chuckles]
- Enough with the accent.
[Brandi] Sorry.
Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
