Parenthood (2010–2015): Season 1, Episode 13 - Lost and Found - full transcript

Your auditioned
for Alvin Ailey,

you didn't tell me
they were in New York.

Everybody knows
they're in New York.

I didn't.

My dad is so far underwater
on this thing.

The plan is to bundle
your dad's holdings

with a bunch of higher-end
properties.

Your mother's slipping away
from me.

I don't know what
I'm gonna do.

You know the truth?

All I know is that



she apparently she slept with
the guy once.

Ugh!
But it's over.

Ugh!

Amber told me
to break up with Steve,

and then she had sex
with him.

Is that true?

Dad, that's not--
that's not how you do it.

That's not--

oh, excuse me,
I think I know my way around

a cream cheese
and jelly sandwich.

You should watch mom
do it.

I'll do it.

You have to--
you could learn from her.

I will watch and learn.



Learn from her.

Wait. This way.

Watch mommy make it.
You can learn from her.

See, watch this.

Honey.
Watch this.

Hey, hey.

That's how I just
stretch it all around.

Oh, my God.

Did something happen?

What did you do
to your hair?

Nothing.
Honey, is that permanent?

It looks like a panther
or, like--

I'm going to school.

Um, and I'm taking the bus
to school today

and I'm late,
so I have to go.

Uh, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, hold on a second.

Honey, your hair is black.

It kind of also
looks like a--

she looks like a vampire
from Twilight.

Did you know about this?
I didn't--no.

I didn't tell her
it was okay to do that.

I like it.

Mom, I'm dead without this
biology homework, seriously.

I know, we'll find it.
Hey, that was the school.

Uh, have you been
cutting class?

What? That's crazy.

Yeah, so where
are you going now?

Uh, just going to school,
of course.

Every day,
like a good child.

Really?
Yeah.

Are you sure?
Yeah.

Amber, have you seen
my homework?

Nope. Sorry.

Are you cutting--
okay, bye.

It's definitely not
in the kitchen.

Okay. Yeah.
You know what?

I saw a bunch of papers
on the sideboard.

Seriously.
Uh-huh, I looked there, mom.

Oh, I got it, I got it.
Are you serious?

I looked here
a thousand times.

Where did you find it?

It was just under
that notebook.

I looked there a million times.
What's that?

Baseball?
Yeah.

You trying out
for baseball?

I don't know.
I mean, yeah, prob--

I don't know.
I was thinking about it.

You were?
I think that's a great idea.

Yeah?
Yeah.

Well, I mean,
maybe I'll ask Uncle Adam

to help me, like,
train for it.

Uh--

what? Bad idea?

No. I'll call him.

Okay. All right.
We need to go.

Come on.

Look at that. Mm.

Yes. Yes.

Yes. Mm-hmm.

Look at this,
it's raining.

Oh, yeah.
I'll be there.

Is that enough?
Nope.

No.
Nope. Okay.

Don't--don't worry about it
at all.

Yes, I'll--I'll be there.

Mm-hmm.
No, don't worry about it.

Okay? Bye.

I'm in.

Come on!

I'm in Alvin Ailey!

I knew you'd do it.

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah,
oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Look at this.
Now, give me a hug. Yay.

Mwah.

Oh, I'm so proud of you.

♪ Chicka bow bow ♪

mm.
I can't believe it!

Ah!
Wow. So...New York.

Yes. It means New York.

And, um,
when do you have to go?

Uh, they want me there,
uh, right away.

Uh, right away
when right away?

Like Friday.

[Bell rings]
Friday?

Hey.
I'm moving in.

Bad time?

Grandpa!
Hey, Jabbar.

Oh, man.
Oh, jeez, you're heavy.

[Doorbell rings]

Coming.

This door...

Hey.

I was just looking for Adam
just real quick.

Sure.

Hey, Adam, honey?

Yeah?
Sure, I'd love to come in.

What?
Come on in.

Honey, your sister's here.

Which one?
The old one.

Hey, are you--
hey.

Oh, hi.
Just headed out the door.

Oh, sorry.
I just wanted to show you this.

It was in Drew's, um,
homework--

hey, that was my league.
I know.

And he asked about you
helping him for tryouts.

And I think
he's kind of nervous about it.

But, um, I just was excited
for him, you know,

to see him get interested
in something,

so I didn't know if--

Adam, can you open that?
I can't open that.

I know you guys are busy.

Oh, what do you got,
that easy clean?

I love that stuff.

It really gets out all the,
uh--okay. So--

it's not a problem, okay?
Thank you.

Thanks, Kristina.
Mm-hmm.

Great seeing you guys.

All right, tell Drew
I'm looking forward to it, okay?

Just tell Drew.

I will.

Original Air Date on May 25, 2010

Hi.

How are you?

I'm okay.

I just wanted to talk to you
about Amber.

Um, yes. I...

I know she missed
the last couple of days.

I was gonna call you.

I just feel worried about her
and wanted to ask you,

'cause she does so well
with you.

You know,
I don't want her to,

um...unravel.

How are--how are you doing
with all this?

I mean, it can't be easy.

No, it's, um...

You know, it's just
all made me think that--

I think coming here
might have been a mistake.

Um, it was a mess
where we were,

but it didn't affect
so many people

and it didn't disrupt
the family.

I think we're better
on our own,

and so...

We should move on and...

make a mess someplace new.

Okay.

Think that's actually
what I came to tell you today.

'Cause...

'cause I missed your face.

So...

Uh, Sarah, um...

Sarah, look.

For what it's worth,
I--I...

I don't think that
running away from your problems

is--is the answer.

I think that you're doing
a great job with Amber.

I think you're
an incredible mother,

and I think she's gonna do
just fine here,

and, um, I don't think
that you should leave.

Please don't leave.

Oh, wow.

This coat's screaming
chick magnet to me.

Isn't that cool
Max gave you all this stuff?

Yep. Does it always rain
in New York?

Well, not always.

I don't think
I'm gonna like it.

Oh, you're gonna love it.

It's the greatest city
in the world.

Do they have bagels
like at bagel city?

Do they have bagels?

Dude, New York has
the best bagels anywhere.

They're hot and fresh

and you can smell them
everywhere on the streets.

You're gonna be smiling
all day long.

So how come
I call you Crosby?

What do you mean?

I could call you daddy.
Right?

Yeah, of course.

I mean, it's up to you,
but I would like that.

Okay.

Oh, okay.

How about we go tackle
this city,

just a couple of dudes

in search of a science center
and some pizza.

What do you say?

Oh, yeah.
Yeah.

I just don't understand it.

We--we want to understand
why you did it.

That's all.
I'm just asking that.

And I keep telling you,
there's nothing to understand.

Something
I've never seen before.

I think your mother's
just concerned

that you're trying to be
somebody you're not.

Exactly.
Well, don't worry.

We got a call
from school today.

You ditched chemistry.
[sighs]

You've never ditched
a class before, Haddie. Ever.

Why did you ditch chem?
We weren't doing anything.

Are Amber and Steve
in your class?

Is everything
that I do now

gonna be defined by
Amber and Steve?

Is that why you did it?

This has nothing to do
with Amber and Steve, then.

Nothing at all?
You know what?

No, it doesn't.
And even if it did,

you don't get to act like
you know everything about me.

I was your age once,

and I've been through
this stuff before.

I just wanted to dye my hair

because I don't like
my hair color, okay?

Okay.
Okay, that's fine.

Thank you. Can I go?
That's fair.

Okay.

Honey, I--

I can't believe that
this is happening.

Like, what is going on here?

What--what do you think
is going on here?

She's just completely
shut down.

I mean,
she's dying her hair black.

I don't recognize her
literally.

She's very bright.

I think she's gonna be
just fine.

She's just a teenager.

She's going through
some growing pains.

How do you know that?
She's a teenage girl.

You don't know what
teenage girls go though, okay?

I was one.
No, I don't, okay?

I admit that I don't, but I
think that she's gonna be fine.

Now listen.
I'm gonna be late for Drew.

Okay?
I have to go meet him.

What?
Late for Drew? Why?

Yeah, I promised him
I'd help him with

his baseball tryouts.

Oh. That's so awesome,
honey.

Really?

Why don't you focus on
our family right now?

I'm just saying.

Hey.
Hi.

Uh, nice sky.

Mom, I don't know
what's exactly, uh,

what's going on, you know,
right now with you and dad

or that guy Matthew, not that
it's any of my business.

Well, um, it kind of
isn't your business,

but, um, nothing's going on
and I told him, uh,

that's not happening anymore.

Okay. I don't know.

Dad just said he was
at the house, so--

that's the thing
about your father.

He talks to everybody
but me.

Look, uh, Julia's having
that guy Timm

over to her house for dinner
to talk to dad

about the property.

I think you should
be there too.

Well, I should be there.
But why didn't he invite me?

You see?
That's what I'm talking about.

I don't know, mom.

If you sit around
waiting for him to invite you

or call you
or tell you what to do,

you could be waiting
forever.

I mean, don't be a victim,
you know?

Just...do something.

You don't need an invitation
to your own life.

[Sighs]

You are absolutely right.

Thank you.

And I'm really glad
I taught you that.

oh! Oh, my God,

You got your sea legs now,
right?

Your skin looks great out here.
Thank you.

And your hair's got
kind of some body now--

that salt air.

♪ Come on now, hah! ♪
hi there!

Thank you very much.
Ah!

I could not get Adam
to drink one beer with me--

no way.
If he drinks too much,

the stick might
fall out of his ass.

[Laughs]
That's the good stuff.

Wait a minute.

Ah!
This is what it's all about.

It was nice like this
I-in Saigon.

There was
this cute little thing,

and she had
the tightest little--

mm!

Dad, I don't need to know
all the details.

Oh, my God,
I'm feeling so sick!

♪ With a truck drivin'
man ♪

ah!
Yeah!

Oh, that's it.
Whoo!

You want another beer,
or are you gonna--

[coughing] You liquor
or for a beer?

I don't even know
what I'm saying

half the time these days.

Huh?

Nothing.

Your mother's gonna forgive me,
you know.

She's got to.

Yeah, this thing's gonna
blow over, right? I mean--

hell, yeah.

Julia'll fix
all the real estate stuff,

and then you'll be right back.

You know...

Crosby, this whole thing here
with Jasmine

going to New York
and taking Jabbar,

you can't let that--
you gotta put your foot down.

She can't be taking your son--

Dad, I don't think
you understand the whole story--

they've got dance troupes
here--

what do you know about
dancing?

You don't know anything
about dancing.

I'll tell you one thing
I do know, Crosby.

You gotta be there
for your kid.

He's your son.

And you can't let him
slip away from you.

You have to man up here,
Crosby.

You remember Andrea Sokolov?
You remember her?

She dyed her hair black
my junior year.

Oh, right.

And then she turned into
a tigress, like, overnight.

Overnight.
Well, thanks for that.

What does that mean?
She's was open for business.

That was what that signified.
Oh, God.

It's a teenage thing.

There's a lot worse things
she could be doing.

No, it's entirely innocuous.
It's--it's a phase, right?

She's gonna grow out of it.

Well, tell that
to Andrea's parents.

She's riding a pole
at the strip club

by the bowling alley.
That's true.

You need to get her hair back
to its natural color.

Or she's gonna become
a stripper.

Seriously?

Hey, what happened to
your taillight?

I don't know, some guy must
have just smacked into it.

Just drove off,
didn't leave a note, nothing.

That's unconscionable.

Yeah, society's coming apart
at the seams.

Hey--
hey, you know what?

It is unconscionable,
because how difficult is it

to take responsibility
for your actions, you know?

You bust somebody's taillight,
step up to the plate.

Anybody could do that.

You okay?
No.

What's wrong with you?
Mm.

I was drinking last night
with Zeek.

Zeek?
They've both gone insane.

Just you and dad?
Bottomless pit.

Wait, okay, what's happening
with mom and dad?

'Cause I was at the house
yesterday.

She was very weird.

She was very negative about them
getting back together.

I don't understand
what she's so upset about.

Yeah, it feels like
there's something else.

Are you catching this?

Hey, guys.
What was that look?

With the secret--

do you guys have a secret
or something?

Go ahead.
Huh?

Dad had an affair.

What?
Come on.

I wouldn't joke about that.
Shh, Crosby.

Dad had an affair?

We're not screwing
with you.

I wouldn't lie about this, okay?
It happened many years ago.

I cannot believe
he did that to her.

I know.

By the way, I'm sorry,

but I can't practice
with Drew tonight.

Why not?

Kristina--I've got stuff to do
at the house.

Just try and keep the peace,
all right?

Don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it.

Sorry.
No. I'm sorry.

[Makes airplane sounds]
Mom, I can barely look at you.

Oh, my God. Mom.

What are you doing?
Don't hit me.

We're playing baseball.

Yeah, but, I mean,
you don't know anything about--

are you ready?
Does it matter?

What's to know?
You throw it, you catch it.

Adam couldn't make it.
Why couldn't he make it?

I don't know.
He just couldn't.

[Hollers]
I know.

Sorry.
It's because of me.

Did that get you on the leg?
It was because of me.

I don't know why it was.

I'm sure they think that,
you know,

Haddie dyed her hair black
because of me too.

Haddie dyed her hair black.

I mean,
what isn't your fault?

Yeah, I know.
Everything is--

can we please
not do this right now?

Please.

She dyed her hair black
because she's mad at me--

well, I mean,
then maybe you should have

thought about what you did
before, you know? I mean--

really?
You're saying this now?

No, I'm not--
I've talked to you about this.

I know, I feel bad.
I know, I know.

I feel bad.

I'm just tired of you
whining about it.

It's like, you know,
do something about it.

We're just trying to play
a nice game for a second.

I'm just trying
to live my life--

all right, seriously, guys.

I've done everything I can
for you guys.

I've moved you back here,
and I didn't want to come here.

Is that what this is about?
No.

It's one thing
if you're miserable.

It's another thing if you
bring us all down with you.

So I'm just asking,
just think one step beyond,

"oh, this feels good."

That's what
I'm asking you to do!

Okay.

Amber.

Thank you. Bye.

Is that the school again?

Yeah. A lot of red tape
in New York.

Well, how long is it
gonna take to enroll him?

Um, I don't know.

It'll...work out.

We need to talk about
the plan.

The plan?

Me and Jabbar.

Absolutely. Yeah.

Like I don't want him
to think

that he's gonna lose me.

Well, you'll come visit.
A lot of visits.

Yeah, I'll visit.

And, um, you can have
phone dates,

like, every Sunday.

Or every day.

Yeah. If it's possible.

Jasmine,
it's really important to me

that you're being clear
with him

about why you guys
are going to New York

and why I can't
just move there with you.

I don't want him to think
that I abandoned you guys.

I want him to know
that you guys...

[Indistinct dialogue
over radio]

[Approaching footsteps]

Hey, Crosby.

Pull up a chair.
The game's getting good here.

You talk to Jasmine?

Yeah, we talked.

We got a plan.

What is the plan?

The plan is they're moving
to New York,

and I'm gonna visit
and talk to Jabbar on the phone.

Well, that sounds like
it's good for her.

[Scoffs]
Yeah.

Yeah, okay.
I'm turning in.

Suit yourself.

You know,
you got a lot of nerve

giving me advice about Jasmine
after what you did to mom.

What?
What?

You screwed up.

Dad, you screwed up
with mom.

And she did nothing.

Well, Crosby,
it's pretty complicated.

Is it?
Is it super-complicated?

I think I can figure it out.

She stood by you
for 40 years.

You can't just sit here
and drink beer

and listen to the radio
and think

she's gonna come over here
and beg you to come home.

Is that what you think?

You are going to lose her.

Do you get that?

You need to take your own advice
and fight for her.

You be a man, dad.

Hold on a minute.

Hey, I called,
but nobody answered.

Do you mind if I, uh,
come in?

I just was looking for
a number for Steve

if you have it, please?

I think I--Steve who?
Oh, Haddie's boyfriend?

Yeah, Steve. Steve.

Yeah, I think so.
I didn't hear that you called.

Okay, do you have the number,
Kristina?

Did you call my cell phone?
Mm-hmm.

Huh.

And the house phone,
but anyway,

I'm just looking for the number,
if it's not too much trouble.

No, it's not too much trouble
at all.

If it's a giant problem,
maybe--

it's not a problem, Sarah.
I'm trying to help you.

I'm trying to be polite
and kind

and not say something right now
that I'm gonna regret later.

Hey.
Hey.

What's going on?
Hi, honey.

Oh, um, I'm finding
Steve's number.

For Sarah.

What do you need
Steve's number for?

Amber's missing.

[Knocking on door]

Hi.
Oh, hi, Adam.

Honey,
Adam Braverman's here.

Hi, listen,
sorry to bother you,

but we have an urgent situation
on our hands here.

My daughter is missing.
Who is your, uh, daughter?

This is my sister.
My daughter is Amber Holt.

My niece.

We don't know
who Amber Holt is.

Well, that's weird
because, um,

your son certainly knows
who she is. Hi.

Oh, hi, Steve.
Have you heard from Amber?

No. I tried calling her.

Would somebody please tell me
what's going on here?

Sure, I'd love to.

Um, Steve tried to pressure
Haddie, my brother's daughter,

into sleeping with him,

and then when she wouldn't
sleep with him,

he slept with my daughter
instead,

and now she's missing.

Wait,
what are they talking about?

Steve, I want you to
go upstairs.

No, I'm not going upstairs.
What's she talking about?

Have you seen her?
Is she all right?

That's--first off,
that's what we need to know.

She's missing.
Thanks for your concern.

Wait a minute--
could someone please tell me

what's going on here?

Because it sounds like
you're blaming Steve

for your daughter
running away--

oh! That's interesting.

No, no one is blaming Steve.

In fact, the entire school
is calling my daughter a whore,

and Steve just comes up
smelling like a rose.

I'm sorry.
Can I just say something?

I told you to go upstairs.
Dad, listen.

Mrs. Holt, Mr. Braverman,
I--I love your daughter.

Oh, you do, do you?
You love?

I thought you loved Haddie.

You've got a funny way
of showing your affection,

you know that?
Hey, hey, Adam.

You've got both these girls
feeling miserable.

You are lucky you didn't
have sex with my daughter--

Adam, Adam!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I forget that Fresno
is so industrial.

How could you forget?

You used to visit
all the time.

Oh, yeah, I know,
you can't keep me away from

the raisin capital
of the world.

Oh, no, no, no.
Careful.

It's right up here.

Never thought I'd hope to find
the two of them together.

Careful. Watch the hippie.

All right,
where should I park?

Right over there.

[Heavy metal music]

Isn't it beautiful?

This is where my daughter
wanted to live.

This place gives me
the willies.

[Girl laughing]

Well, I think we found them.

Listen, Sarah, I think
I should probably

hang back on this one.

What is wrong with you?
You're the muscle. Man up.

Cover your eyes.
Come on.

Amber!

It's your moth--
oh, it's open.

Okay, we're going in on three.
All right, okay, I'm with you.

Okay?
All right, yeah.

One, two, three.

It's your mother.
I need you to come home.

Mrs. Braverman!
Oh, my God. Oh, shoot.

Who are you? Who are you?
Uh...

We are so sorry.
Where's Amber?

I'm Amber's Uncle. Sorry.
I'm really sorry.

Does that look like Amber?

This is a brand-new girl.
Where's Amber?

I haven't seen Amber
in weeks.

Well, that's what
I wanted to know.

I'm so sorry.
But, you know.

You're very pretty, uh--
yeah.

Okay.
Let's go. All right.

Close the door!

Oh, really?
Close the door?

Oh, my God, you're
the politest person I know.

Hey, Amber,
it's mom again. Again.

And, um, I'm just, uh,
still looking for you

with Uncle Adam.

Um, and I do wish
you would call me, um...

We stopped by Damien's house,

so that made me feel
a whole lot better, but, um,

somewhat holding it together.

Um, we'd love to hear
from you.

And, uh, and I love you.

[Sniffles]

I love that. Julie, did you
make that yourself?

Yeah. Three coffees
and two teas coming in here.

Thanks, Jules.

Thanks, Jules.

Of course, dad.
Yeah.

Hey.

You tried to take her
to Paris one time.

Yes, he did.

Well--yeah, well...

It was, uh,
business-related.

It was a long time ago.

So what is the deal
with the two ms in Timm?

Wow.

You say it twice?
Timm-Timm.

You're just coming at me--

okay, why don't we talk about
the property?

You were saying something
a little earlier about timing?

Right, right, yeah.
All right.

Um, look, Zeek,
I'm a straight shooter

and I sense you are too.

So I'm just gonna,
you know...

This investment
is a textbook example

of timing and market wrong,
okay?

I mean, the property's
a money sucking hole.

And now we have to dig you out
as best we can.

I see.
Yeah.

You know, you're gonna
take a little haircut.

Really...
like a buzz cut,

or I gotta shave it?

I had a Mohawk once.

You have any pictures
of that?

No, that was in Vietnam.
You ever hear of Vietnam?

Dad.

Uh, can you pass that down?

Let's, uh--
here. Take a look at it.

Our investment group
can roll this into

a securitized fund that
an entrepreneur like yourself

has no access to.

And the advantages of that--
just give me a sec.

Oh, yeah, yeah, fine.

If I'm going too quickly
for you,

just, I'll, you know--

young man...

Do not patronize me.

Dad. Let's--

I'm not trying
to patronize you.

Let's just focus.
Timm, Timm, Timm...

Timm, Timm, Timm...
I'm upset, all right?

I mean, hell,
the whole world's in a toilet

and a lot of people
are upset.

No, I know, believe me.
But, um,

and this is just me
being a straight shooter.

Don't insult my intelligence.

Zeek,
that is the last thing--

you're a businessman,
right?

You see an opportunity,
a little weakness,

you're gonna go right in there
and exploit it.

Zeek, I--

and the rest
is window dressing.

I mean, hell, man,
you're going for the jugular.

Zeek. That's not--

I'm not a CEO of
a Hedge Fund, right?

I don't own a bank,
I'm just a regular guy.

But you wanna know something,
Timm, with two ms?

I consider myself
too big to fail!

[Police siren blaring]

Oh, come on.

It's that stupid taillight.
[sighs]

Just have everything ready.
Okay. I'm sorry.

I got it.
Okay, just give it to me.

Hi. Hi, officer.

Listen, um, I'm really sorry
about that taillight,

but some idiot, you know,
broke it

and I haven't had
a chance to fix it.

But my sister's daughter
is missing,

and we're out
looking for her,

so if you could just
give us a break...

Yes. I'm gonna need
your license and registration,

please.

All right, well,
here you go.

Here's my license,
my registration,

and here is my insurance card.

All right.
All right.

Back in a minute.
All right, thank you.

It was me.

What?

It was me. I...

I hit your car.

What?

Why the hell
wouldn't you tell me that?

What the hell
is wrong with you?

I don't know.
I panicked.

I, uh, I couldn't tell you
one more bad thing.

How do you expect your
children to behave honorably...

I didn't want to
disappoint you again!

If you don't behave
honorably?

Well, now we know
where she gets it from.

Can you just keep it down?

[Police radio chatter
in background]

Every day since
this has happened,

all I can think of is
it was a mistake coming here,

and we should move back.

[Cell phone rings]

Oh, my God.
Amber.

Mom. Mom, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.

I don't even know
what to say to you.

Where are you?

I don't know.

I'm at a truck stop
in Gilroy.

How did you get there?

I-I hitchhiked.

Oh, I'm gonna kill you.
I know, I know.

Oh, my God.
Mom, I know.

Please,
just come and get me.

Tell me,
what's the address?

Uh, I don't know.

I don't know what
the address is. Um--

Oh, my God.

She's at a truck stop
in Gilroy.

Mom, please,
just come and get me.

We're not that far
from there.

Thank you.

She's okay, she's okay.
Yeah? All right.

She's okay.
Well, let's go get her.

Okay.

Gilroy?
Honey, is she okay?

Uh, yeah, I think so.

Um, so anyway,
we're on our way,

but I just wanted
to let you know

we're gonna probably be
pretty late.

No, no, no, let me--
let me meet you there.

I'm closer, it's--
it's easy.

Oh, honey,
you don't have to do that--

honey, I do have to do it.
She's my niece.

Haddie can watch Max.
It's not a big deal.

I'll just meet you there.
Okay.

Who's on the phone?

It's dad.
They found Amber.

She's in Gilroy,
or something like that.

I'm gonna go get her, okay?
Can I come with you?

Honey, you have to stay here
with Max.

Mom. Please.

Okay. Fine.

We can drop Max
to grandma's house.

Just grab your jacket.
We gotta go.

We'll take Max to grandma's.
Come on.

I don't believe that.
What?

Your old boyfriend trying
to take me to the cleaners,

that's what.
Dad.

You just blew off someone
that can help you.

Hey, you know,
that wasn't a serious offer.

That was a serious offer.
It was not a serious--

he's trying to help us.

You know what
he was doing here?

I'll tell you what
he was doing here.

He wants to get in
your pants.

That's what it's all about.
I mean, I can tell.

Julie, you're gonna have to
be careful.

Dad!
You and your stupid pride.

Do you not see
what you're doing?

You could lose everything.

You could lose the house,
you could lose mom.

Okay, I'm sorry
that I'm yelling at you,

but I don't wanna see that
happen because I love you!

Oh, no, no.
Sweetheart, look.

Please.

Don't worry about me.

I'm your father.

Now, I've been around
a lot longer than you have.

I'm gonna be okay.
I'm still ticking.

Honey.

I know what I'm doing.

Okay.

[Sighs]

Gah!

♪ ♪

um, I just needed a change.

Okay.

I mean, with my hair.

I understand,
I just don't--

I don't underst--
I mean, it's fine.

Just something
had to change, you know?

Like something had to.

But--but why?

I mean, why do you feel like
it had to change?

Because, uh,

I was really bored
with myself.

Because, like, everything I did
was predictable

and was, like, this person

who everybody thought
they knew.

Haddie.
I don't know.

I mean, when Amber came here,
she was like...

she's really different,
you know?

Mm-hmm.

She's free and...
I don't know.

I hate her for what she did
with Steve,

but I'm--
I wanna be more like her.

You're so perfect
the way that you are.

Why would you wanna become
somebody else?

It kills me to see you...

to hurt like this.

When I was your age,

I was pressured into many things
that I regret.

By my friends, by boys,
and people that I...

thought I trusted,
and I don't want that for you.

But I want you to talk to me
about these things always.

[Sighs]

I know you know already
about Steve.

I do. I know.

I'm not ready.
Mm-mm.

I know I'm not ready, okay?

You're not ready.

15, you're not ready--

I know you know that,
and I'm so proud of you for--

for standing up for yourself
and not doing that.

Sorry about not telling you
I was gonna dye my hair.

Honey, I--
I kind of like it.

It's really cute.

Thanks.
It's really cute.

Thanks.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You just scared me
so much.

I know.

You know...

When I was your age,

I slept with
my cousin's boyfriend.

Are you kidding?

Yes.

I didn't do that.

I smoked and drank a lot.
That's why you're so short.

[Laughs]

You know,
you try to act so tough,

but I just know who you are,

and I want you to know
I see you.

I see how smart you are

and how funny you are

and how brave you are,

and I'm just so proud
of you.

And I'm just so glad
that you're my kid.

Thanks for coming for me.

I'm really glad
you're my mom.

[Sniffling]

My God, I can't take it.

I know.

We really gotta
get it together.

[Chuckles]

You know what kind of plane
you're flying on today?

A Boeing 767.

There's 3 million parts
on it,

and it takes 800 companies
to make all those parts.

And each one costs
150 million bucks.

How come you know
so much about airplanes?

'Cause I love airplanes.

I have since I was a kid.

You're just like me,
daddy.

Hey, sweetie.

Sweetie. Finish your cereal.

Uh, taxi's gonna be here
any second.

All right, mommy.
Hey, can I talk to you?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

Um, just finishing
packing my suitcase, so...

Okay.

You'll make sure
the movers

don't miss anything?

Uh-huh.

And, uh,
a couple of those boxes up there

are fragile,
so make sure they are--

right, okay.
Hey, can we talk?

Yeah, yeah, I'm listening.

[Taxi horn honks]
Okay.

Oh, the taxi's here.

You know what, he'll wait.

Jasmine. Jasmine.
What?

Well, can you stop packing
for one second?

I hate my dad right now
for what he did to my mom.

But he was a great dad.

You know,
he was always making me laugh

and taking me places,

and he smiled
every time he saw me.

And he thought I was funny,

and he could never
stay mad at me

because he loved me
so much.

[Chuckles]

And...

The point
I'm trying to make is

I can't imagine
who I would be without him.

And I want Jabbar
to have that.

I don't wanna be rational.

I wanna be irrational.

I wanna come with you
to New York right now,

get in the cab,
buy a ticket, and go.

What about your family?

Jasmine,
you are my family.

What are you thinking
right now?

Uh, I'm thinking
that...

you're a constant surprise.

[Both chuckle]

Bring it outside.

Hey. Hey, there.

[Laughs]
Look at this kid.

Like the ghost
of Catfish Hunter, ma.

All right, one more time.
Come on.

Hey, hey.

Pitching
the Fresno fastball.

It's Drew Holt.

[Car door opens]

Camille.

Camille.
What?

It's the boy's tryout.

Well, you go to the tryout,
then.

I'm staying here.

They can come back after,
and I'll make them lunch.

They can tell me about it.

I'd like us
to go together.

Well,
that's not gonna happen.

God damn it.

Now, look, I want you back.

It's not that easy.

And I just have to have
some room...

to find out who I am.

I don't know who I am.

I love being a mother.

And for a good deal
of the time,

I loved being a wife.

But I just feel like
I got swallowed up somewhere.

And that's why you did
what you did.

'Cause...

You looked at me
and you couldn't see me anymore.

I see you now.

Because you're scared.

Camille.

I wanna spend...

the rest of the time
that we have together

making our lives good.

I'm gonna sing now.

Oh, no, you're not.
Yeah.

You are not.
Oh--oh--

yeah.
Oh, for God's sake, Zeek.
