Parenthood (2010–2015): Season 2, Episode 17 - Do Not Sleep with Your Autistic Nephew's Therapist - full transcript

- Hi, dad.
- He's changed now.

I remember how things were at home.

It's really good for him, you know,
to see his dad.

- It really is.
- Is it? I don't know.

I wrote this one
with my ex-wife.

That's all I'm gonna say
about that.

I can't marry someone

who will not let me make
any decisions.

I'm starting to realize
that you are very controlling.

- Want this back?
- Why are you in the doghouse?

Apparently, I'm... I shouldn't
be making any decisions.



She's your fianc?e, by the way.

Also, I work here, and I don't
want to mess that up.

d I left while you
were sleeping d

d while Abraham
shaped your sigh d

d never loved you less d

d never loved you more d

d as when Sirius
hung in the sky d

d a memory is a liar d

d was I d

d A woman
to never see you again d

d or am I dreaming asleep
by your side? d

Hey, everybody!

- He's so confident...
- Good job.

Who is ready
for my famous pancakes?



- Hey, honey.
- Hey.

- Hey, Mr. Braverman.
- Alex, how are you?

How you doing? Max, I got
one more trick to show you,

but you got to say hi
to your dad first.

- Hey, dad!
- Hi, honey.

- Hi.
- The trick is...

You got to lightly toss it and
then pop it off your forearm.

It's a fake pass.
It's a trick.

It's like that.
That's it.

Thanks for going to the market.

He's here again.

Okay.

Honey, I mean, you know...

He's been here
every day this week,

and it's Sunday, you know?

It's my pancake-making day.
It's family time.

You need to relax.
I'm sorry, okay?

- I'm relaxed.
- It's my fault.

- I said it was okay.
- Oh, okay.

So he's just gonna be here now
all the time.

I mean, look at him.

Isn't he doing so great with Max?

He's teaching him
basketball tricks.

I don't know how to do that.
They're enjoying each other.

- Haddie's really happy...
- He's in my chair.

That's not your chair,
and you know that.

He's been playing
with him all morning.

I mean, this is amazing.

What if he joins
a basketball team?

He hasn't said one word
about bugs all morning.

I feel like I've been let
out of a really bad prison.

Um, hey, it's okay
that Alex is here, right?

Yeah.
It's fine.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

Uh, do you have
that basketball game today?

Yeah, I do.
Why?

You could invite Alex.

To my basketball game?

- I mean...
- Honey.

What?
Anybody can play, right?

He's really good.
It'll be fun.

And you guys can, like, get
to know each other.

- Adam, you want to try it?
- Uh, no, I'm good.

Okay, I'm gonna just say it,
'cause nobody else is.

You know, where's drew?

Why did we let drew go out
to breakfast with that guy?

- That guy is your father.
- Well...

They went to breakfast.
You weren't invited.

I don't want to go.

We're here bonding
as a family, you know,

- and he's not here.
- I'm sorry.

It's the first time
I've ever heard you

talk about
family-bonding time.

Are you gonna make fun
of me now for it?

No, honey, I'm just saying...

- Hey, everybody.
- Hey.

Camille, I haven't seen you yet.

You look beautiful.

Hi, Seth.

Hey, Seth.
Thanks for bringing him back.

No problem.

Hi, sweetheart.

Drew told me how you
kicked ass the other night

at that songwriting thing
at the open mic.

- Amazing.
- Please, I wouldn't say

- that I, you know, "kicked ass."
- It was very good.

Everybody in the audience
was a Braverman.

Those are the worst people
to have in the audience.

- That's not even true.
- It was pretty true.

Hey, Bravermans
are tough critics, trust me.

Anyway, I got this for you.

What?

It's just
an old beat-around guitar,

but it's got a great sound.

I put these really
light strings on it,

so you can play all day,
doesn't hurt your fingers.

Writes... writes great songs,
this one.

Um...

Okay. Cool.

Thanks. Uh...

Well, I'm gonna...
Do stuff upstairs.

So just call me
when they're ready, okay?

See you.

Right.

She'll look at it later.
I'm sure she'll love it.

Yeah.

d May God bless
and keep you always d

d and may your wishes
all come true d

d may you always do for others d

d and let others do for you d

d may you build a ladder
to the stars d

d and climb on every rung d

d and may you stay d

d forever young d

d may you grow up
to be righteous d

d may you grow up to be true d

d may you always know the truth d

d and see the lights
surrounding you d

d may you always be courageous d

d stand upright and be strong d

d and may you stay d

d forever young d

d may you stay d

d forever young d

What's the matter, bug?

Yeah.
Why aren't you eating?

Is this chicken?

- Mm-hmm.
- Is chicken meat?

Mm, yes, chicken is meat.

Mm-hmm.

Well, then I can't eat it.

Why?

I'm a vegetarian.

- Um...
- Um...

But you're not a vegetarian,

because you love chicken.

- Love it.
- I don't love it anymore.

- Huh.
- Honey, um...

Meat is... uh, it has a lot
of protein in it,

and humans need protein,
and you're human.

Sweetie, where'd you get
the idea to be a vegetarian?

Ella.
She's a vegetarian.

Her whole family is vegetarians.

I'm not gonna eat chicken.
It's unhealthy and mean.

Okay.

Well, bug,

I would like you to eat
your chicken, please.

- Thank you.
- Uh-uh.

No way.

- This is a bad system.
- It's not bad, Max.

- It's just different.
- But with this,

I have to do more chores,

and even if I do
absolutely perfect,

I still earn the same amount
of TV time.

Max, you're gonna make
a great lawyer.

I think we should still have

The same amount
of opportunities...

- Okay. I'll think about it.
- But have it five points,

- like Gaby said.
- Okay, Max...

- Max, how about this?
- Coming.

If you earn eight out
of ten stickers over the week,

- you will get a bonus...
- Hi.

Hey! Come in.

- Thanks.
- How are you?

- I'm good.
- Good. Good to see you.

Come on, we're just working
on Max's sticker system.

You have to go over that
with your mom.

Kristina,
I just want to apologize.

I feel so terrible for missing
Max's birthday party.

What do you mean?
Jabbar was sick.

It's okay.
It's so not a big deal.

- No, he wasn't sick.
- Oh.

It was because of what's going
on between me and Crosby.

- Is everything okay?
- Well, we had an argument,

and he's been staying
on the boat.

I'm sorry.
What happened?

I don't even know what happened,

and I don't know
if it's, like, these huge issues

or if we're just having
cold feet.

- I don't know what's going on.
- Gaby!

Why can't
I discuss this with you?

Because, Max, I'm not your mom.

It doesn't matter.
Well... okay, first of all...

Okay.

We love you so much.
We love Jabbar.

- Oh, thank you.
- You're family.

- Thank you.
- Instead of sunny-side up...

Just a little hiccup.
You know?

You guys are having a hiccup.
It's no big deal.

I mean, it's...
it sucks right now...

Gaby!

I'm sorry.

- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

- You sure?
- I'm good.

Is this the menstrual cramps?

You want your walker?

Way to run the floor, man.

- Whoo!
- Good defense, y'all.

I'll take it.

Think you can try and focus
a little bit more out there?

Yeah...

If I was the one that got taken
to school by Alex.

So you moved out, huh?

Back on the houseboat?

Where'd you hear that?

Jasmine talked to Kristina.

- What's going on?
- Jasmine told Kristina?

Yeah. I thought we talked
about all this the other day.

- Yeah.
- I just hate to see you

throw away the very best thing

that's ever happened to you
in your life

because you feel like
she's a little bit

- controlling right now.
- Maybe you can take

a little time-out
from your judgment.

- I am not judging you, Crosby.
- Yes, you are.

- I am looking out for you...
- Yes, you are judging me!

- No, I am not judging you!
- You always judge me, man!

You're always looking at me
like I'm the idiot

that's always screwing up!

I'm sorry I'm not perfect
like you, okay?

It must be so frustrating!

Would you keep your voice
down for a second?

Oh, yeah, heaven forbid

I scream on the basketball court!

- Is that a mistake too?
- It's a part of growing up.

- Seriously, you're gonna leave?
- No, I'm fake leaving.

Hey, Amber.

Can you please stop being
so rude to dad?

Whoa.

Don't just come in here

and say something
like that to me.

Well, it's true. Every time
he tries to talk to you,

you're so rude to him,

you don't even give him
a chance whatsoever...

Do you know what I think is rude?

I think it's rude
to leave your family.

I think it's rude to ditch them

because you don't want
to deal with it

and then rude to come back here

and just act like
everything's fine.

You're entitled
to your opinion, okay?

It's not an opinion.
It's what actually happened.

And that's what
I'm trying to tell you.

- He left us!
- I understand that!

I get it!
But he's here right now.

This is what I've been trying
to tell you

- over and over again...
- He's trying to be with us...

Oh, he's really trying, isn't he?

He's trying
to make things better.

He brought me
this beautiful guitar.

Do you want to know how much
this guitar is worth?

It doesn't matter
how much it's worth!

42 big ones!
That's how much it's worth!

It doesn't matter
how much it's worth whatsoever!

Yeah, it does,
because I'm gonna sell it

- because I don't want it!
- He's had that for 20 years!

I don't care!
I don't want it in my house!

- I don't want to look at it!
- Please, please.

Just don't push him away.

I'm not trying
to push him away, but...

He's gonna leave.

He's gonna leave again,
and you're gonna get hurt.

I can handle myself.

Hey!

- Hi.
- Gaby.

Hi.

- Um...
- Are you okay?

Yeah.
I'm sorry.

- That's okay.
- You all right?

You need to come in and sit down?

Um, I-I can't really
stay long.

I just...
God, this is really hard.

But I wanted to tell you guys
in person.

Something has come up,
something personal,

and, um...

I'm not gonna be able to work
with Max anymore.

I'm really sorry.
I know it's really sudden.

And I made you guys
a list of other aides and...

Wait, no, I'm sorry, Gaby.
What happened?

Something happened.

I just...
I really can't...

- Uh...
- I'm...

Is this immediate?

Unfortunately, yes, it is.

And I'm really sorry.
Please forgive me.

I'm sorry.

- Daddy's here!
- Hey.

How are you?
You ready to go to the movies?

Yeah. Grandma just got me
a new baseball mitt.

Oh, cool.
I want to see.

- Come here!
- Okay.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Hey, um, Crosby, do you want
to stay for a minute?

I can make some coffee.

Uh, we're kind of late
to the movie, so...

I think we should get going.

Look-it.
Isn't it awesome?

It's cool.
Yeah.

And I got a binoculars too.

You got binoculars?
What are you gonna look at?

Hey, Crosby,
I think that we should talk

about what's going on.

The silence thing
isn't doing anyone any good.

Uh, yeah.
Okay.

- Good.
- Uh, now?

Yeah.

Um...

I'm just kind of in Jabbar mode,

and we've got, like, 20 minutes
to get to the movies, so...

Maybe we'll do it...
You ready, buddy?

Yeah. I'm ready.

I'm ready.

Give me a hug.
Give me a hug.

- All right, have fun.
- Okay.

So I'll call you, and then...

Uh, we'll set up a time to talk.

- Come on, dad.
- All right, good-bye.

- We have more questions like...
- No! No, no, no, no!

- You have to drink it.
- ...Start watching television.

- Smoothies?
- Uh, no, thank you.

- You're not listening to me.
- I want to watch my shows.

- I'm missing cash cab.
- Honey, it doesn't matter.

You can't cash in your stickers

until your homework is finished.

You didn't start
the homework on time.

- Gaby always did.
- Okay, Gaby's not here, Max.

- We're doing my rules right now.
- Well, your rules suck!

Hey. Do not speak

- to your mother that way.
- Thank you very much.

Your mother... And do not
turn on the television!

- I'm not missing cash cab!
- This has been going on

- for 20 minutes, by the way.
- I want you to think about

- whether or not this is worth it.
- It is worth it!

I think you're gonna find out
that it's not.

How can I find out
something that's not true?

- Can I talk to you for one...
- Crosby, it's not a good time.

I just want to say sorry about...

- Listen...
- Blowing up.

Crosby, it's all fine.

- I'm really sorry...
- Listen to me.

I cannot deal with this
right now, okay?

Gaby quit.
He's having a meltdown.

- I've got to deal with it.
- Gaby quit?

Yeah. She gave no notice,
just split.

- Why?
- I don't know.

- She said personal reasons.
- Three...

- No!
- That's it.

- You cannot do that!
- I got to deal with this.

- Max...
- That's unacceptable!

- Hey, Max, what about the...
- No! No!

- Stop throwing things.
- No!

Let me go!

- It's not fair!
- Settle down!

- You quit?
- Oh, Crosby.

- How could you quit?
- I was at the house.

And Jasmine came over,
and it's just too much.

Okay. Well, you got
to go back and fix it.

- Fix it?
- Yes! All hell

is breaking loose over there.
You've got to go back.

Listen, if Max suffers
because of something we did,

I'm never gonna be able
to forgive myself for that.

They'll find
someone else, Crosby.

Okay, they're not gonna find
anyone else!

You have to go back
and say it was a mistake.

- I can't!
- Why?

Because I like you!

Well...

We can't.

Bye, Crosby.

Oh, hello.

Hey. Ace babysitting company
at your service.

Wow. Look at you.
You look terrific.

Thanks.
Why the partners

insist on taking
the associates to dinner

on a weeknight is beyond me.

But what is this, mom?
Is this lasagna that you made?

- Yeah.
- Oh, my goodness.

I know how much
Sydney loves it, so...

- We all do.
- Oh, you're amazing.

But she's not gonna eat it.

What?
What do you mean?

Why?

- Okay.
- It's her favorite.

- I know.
- Our daughter is...

A vegetarian.

- She's a what?
- What?

Jeez.

I know.
I should have called you.

I didn't realize
you were gonna cook.

Since when?

Oh, come on.
Hey, now, that's ridiculous.

Dad, you know what?
It is a valid choice.

And we are being
supportive of it.

- Really?
- Yes.

Hi, grandma!

Hey, granddaughter!

- There she is!
- How you doing?

You're gonna have
some lasagna, aren't you?

Um, not if it has meat.

Well, yeah, but see,
your grandmother,

she slaved all day making
your favorite meal for you.

Uh, it's just that...

I don't eat meat anymore.

Uh-huh.

Now, listen here, granddaughter,

your grandmother
worked very hard,

made it specially for you.

Now, you don't want to hurt
my wife's feelings,

- now, do you?
- Dad?

- Huh?
- Just go...

Go easy on my daughter.

Sure.

Right.

Guess what.

Once in Vietnam, I ate dog.

- Zeek!
- A dog?

- Yeah.
- Zeek...

- An actual dog?
- No, not an actual dog.

Don't... There's no dog.

Hey, come on,
I was a guest, you know?

It would have been rude not to.

I'm gonna fix you whatever
your parents want me to fix you.

Hah!
Uh!

Ow!

I mean to go right there
and get it!

- Hi.
- Hey.

Thought I'd bring him back.

Um, come in, if you want.

- Is Zeek here?
- No, he's...

Babysitting for Julia...
You're safe.

What are you doing
to the chicken?

I have to go to work
in a little, and so...

I thought
I'd make you guys dinner.

- Mom and dad aren't here.
- It doesn't look the same.

Well, I mean, whatever.
It's chicken.

I have to chop it
one more time... Watch this.

See? It's almost off.

Yeah.

Your mom is an excellent cook.

You're right.

They call her
Sarah Boyardee, right?

You know what?
I have a very, very big knife.

I'm trying something...
to learn something new.

Do you mind if I...
Give you a hand there?

Oh, speaking
of excellent cooks...

I know my way around a chicken.

- Son, come watch and learn.
- Since when?

I developed an interest
in a few things, like cooking.

Really?
Look at you,

developing interests in things.

Do you guys want to...

- Hi.
- Hey.

I'm making dinner,

which, you know, we could
really use your help.

Dad knows how to cut
the chicken, actually,

- but, um, come help.
- I don't want to see this.

Come join us just for a minute?

Mm, no.
That's cool.

You just keep...
Poking that chicken,

whatever you're doing.

Hey, um, Amber,

dad's taking me to Alcatraz
on Friday.

I feel like you should come.

- Oh, yeah!
- I can't, 'cause...

Come on, sweetheart.

I know how much
you love Alcatraz.

No. Yeah. No, you know what?
You're right.

Maybe I will come,
'cause I love it.

How's the, uh...

- How's the guitar working out?
- Oh, the guitar.

Yes, I meant to tell you.

The only thing is,
is that it doesn't sound good,

um, and I don't want it.

So if you want it,
you should take it back,

- or I'm gonna sell it, okay?
- Amber...

- You don't have to be rude.
- Oh, and the other thing is...

I actually can't go to Alcatraz,

because I get sick on boats,
which, you know,

is something that everybody
that knows me knows.

Um, but, you know,
I just forget that

it's basically
like we're strangers, so...

Sweetheart, I'm just trying to...

Stop calling me that.
I don't even know you.

You don't know anything about me.

- Amber...
- You can't just waltz in here

after all this time and act like
everything is fine

and just, like, buy us a burger

and, like, give me
a crappy guitar,

and everything's
just gonna be fine again.

You know, and I guess it works.

I guess it works
on everybody but me.

I guess I'm the only person
that, you know,

has a problem with it,
but I'm sorry,

but I can't forget the fact

that you didn't come
to my birthdays

when you promised that you would!

And you didn't take me out
all the times

that you promised that you would!

And you were not there for me
when I really needed you.

And so I have trouble
believing that you've changed,

because I've heard it all before.

And I'm sorry, but I look at you,

and I just see the same loser
who let me down.

Look, I'm sorry, dad.
She just gets that way.

She goes off on us
all the time too, so...

I shouldn't be here right now.

You don't have to go.

Buddy, I'll call you
about Alcatraz.

Okay.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Look, mom, you...

Why do you just sit here
and let her yell at him?

You didn't protect him
whatsoever!

I mean, she won't even
give him a chance.

He's trying!

You don't like it, do you?

Not very much.

I'll just have dessert.

Well, young lady,

your grandmother has now
prepared two dinners for you.

Try a little more of the seitan.

"Satan"?

Seitan.

Oh.

No, thank you.

Granddaughter,

you are gonna have to eat

one or the other...

Or you're not gonna get up
from the table.

Ahem. There you go.
Thank you.

- Hi.
- Hey.

One sec.

- Want a drink?
- Yes. Pitcher of gin, please.

Well...

Amber kicked my ass.

Yeah, well, you deserved it.

She's got your genes.

Listen, I, uh...

I got a change of plans.

This club up in Seattle,

they offered us
a very sweet deal on a gig,

and the band wants to take it.

Yes.

Anyway, I got to back-burner
the whole Alcatraz trip.

Alcatraz.

Mm-hmm. Well...

I'm sure drew
will understand, you know.

Maybe you guys could just hit
the batting cages again,

you know,
and beat some people up,

for old time's sake?

We're gonna leave in the morning,

'cause we want to get
an early start.

Tomorrow morning?

Yeah.

So could you...
Tell the kids for me?

- Sure.
- Thank you.

Excuse me, bartender,
another beer?

Looks like you're
pretty busy, so...

Um, I had a great time.

- It was good to see you.
- Mm-hmm.

You take care.

- And, um...
- I'll see you later.

Hey.

I have spent so much
of my life blaming you, Seth.

I have blamed you
for the fact that...

I'm almost 40 years old,
and I still tend bar.

And I could even tell you
all the reasons

and explain to you
exactly why it's your fault.

When drew sits up in his room,

doesn't say a word to me
for weeks,

just hides away, I blame you.

And I shouldn't.
I really shouldn't.

It does no one any good.

But I can blame you
for going to Seattle

without saying good-bye
to your children yourself.

I can blame you for that,
and I will.

I will blame you for years.

And sadly, part of me
gets off on it.

I love having something
to blame you for,

because then
it lets me off the hook.

And I don't want to be
let off the hook...

Not anymore.

So you will be there
tomorrow morning

before they go to school

to say good-bye
to your children.

You will be there.

They leave at 8:00.

Don't be late.

It's really hard
for me to apologize.

- You don't have to apologize.
- Yeah, I do...

For keeping Jabbar
from that party.

Jasmine, you didn't do anything.

I did. I'm sorry...

You don't owe me
an apology, okay?

I was so stupid.

You don't have
to say sorry to me.

Why do you think you were stupid?

What do you mean by...
what do you...

- Why do you...
- You know, I been drinking...

Tonight, so I don't...

This might not be
the best time for us to...

Have this conversation right now.

Hey...

Crosby?

Look at me.

You can't even look at me?

Why do you think you were stupid?

What did you do?

I made a mistake.

What kind of mistake?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Don't lie to me.

I slept with someone.

It was...

Stupid, and, uh, you know,

I don't...

Have an excuse other than

this happened while we were
going through our thing,

and I just kind of collapsed
emotionally,

- and then I did the worst thing...
- Who was it?

It's not important.

It's not important.

So why did you do it?

Sweetie, listen, i... it was...
It was one time,

and it will never,
ever happen again.

I swear, I will never do
anything like that again, okay?

I am so sorry...

Get off of me.

- Get off of me.
- I just... I need to know

that you're not...
hold on. Listen...

Get off of me, you asshole!

That's how you...

- Jasmine...
- You're such an idiot!

Okay, you know what?

Hey, please don't walk
out of here.

No! Don't tell me
what to do!

You know what?

You don't deserve anything
good in your life...

Nothing!

I'll never forgive you for this.

Hello.

- Hey, honey, how you doing?
- I'm well.

- How are you?
- Good.

Good. So thanks again
for watching Syd.

No problem. I tell you,
that little girl is a pip.

Yes, she is.

So did everything go okay?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Why?
She say something?

Yes.

She might have mentioned
something

about you tried to force her
to eat meat?

Oh, please. No.
That's not how it went down.

- Well, how did it go down?
- Well, I told her

she couldn't get up
from the table

unless he had something to eat,

and I didn't care
if it was lasagna

or that "Satan" crapola.

But rules are rules.

Dad, I have to say,

I really wish
you hadn't done that.

Well, honey,
I got to tell you, you know,

she's got to learn
that there's a set of rules

that everybody has to follow.

Well, I don't want
to squelch her spirit.

She wants to attempt
this vegetarianism thing, and...

Come on, sweetheart,
squelch her spirit?

I mean, my God,
she's six years old.

- You can't let her run the show.
- Okay, I just...

I feel that when you do
something like that,

it undermines me as a parent.

Oh, jeez, you know, maybe...

Hold on.
Julia...

You know, your father doesn't
always make the best choices,

but he does what he does
out of love.

No one is trying to squelch
anyone's spirit.

- We love Sydney to pieces.
- I know.

- You know that.
- Yeah.

But your father's right.

You can't let her feel like
she has all the power.

It's backwards.

And it's not doing her any good.

I love you so much.
That's why I'm here.

I know that I can be overbearing,

and I keep going over in my head

how many times
I've second-guessed you

about Max's curriculum.

And I am so sorry, and I'm wrong.

No, no, it's true.
It's only because I...

Because you love Max so much.

Yeah.

And I do too.
I love your son.

I do.

Then I don't understand
why you're leaving.

I mean,
you're not moving away, right?

You're not quitting
this business.

- No.
- I mean,

if there's something going on
in your personal life, I...

I can help you
figure it out, Gaby,

and I'm here for you.

If you need to take a break

or just take
a little leave of absence...

But it's just...
it's so...

You've helped my son so much,

and I'm...

I'm at a loss.

I didn't leave
because of you or Max,

who I do love.

Then why?
Why did you leave? I'm...

It's okay.

Mm.

Um...

I-I left...

The birthday party
the other night with Crosby

and it...

It got complicated.

Cros...

- Complicated, oh.
- I'm so sorry.

- I'm so sorry.
- Hmm.

We got a couple dates
in the Midwest

in Wyoming and Montana.

It's turning into, like,
a little mini tour.

That sounds cool.

Well...

Next time I'm in town?

- Of course.
- I mean, 'cause we were

gonna do the Alcatraz
thing and...

- I know.
- Okay.

It was fantastic.
I...

- I had the best time.
- Me too.

You're a great young man.

I'm really proud of you, son.

- And, Amber, I...
- Look, I...

Just, like, about
what I said, you know,

- I wasn't trying to...
- No. Everything you said...

Was true.

You got every right to say that.

And I'm sorry.

You're beautiful.

And maybe one day
I'll be lucky enough

to hear your beautiful voice.

Guess we'll see, right?

Don't forget
the light-gauge strings

on the guitar, the tens,
'cause...

You can play all night.

d Hear d

d hear the noise

d and slow d

d that's the sound d

d of freshly fallen snow d

d your love is gold d

d your love is gold d

So how was that?

It was good.
Thank you.

d To bang upon

I was thinking about you
all last night.

All the things that you
haven't gotten to do

or...
That you haven't done yet,

and it doesn't matter,

because you're the talent.

You're like magic.

And I remember all those songs
that we wrote together.

They're my best ones.

Yep, 'cause they're the deepest.

I'm just...
I'm just a guitar player.

You're the artist.

So don't... don't let yourself
get in the way of that, okay?

Okay.

- I'm glad you came.
- Thanks.

Our kids are beautiful.

Mm-hmm.

And that's all you.

You did all that.

I mean, you took on that burden.

It's not always a burden.
Sometimes it's...

More like a privilege.

What?

You know what felt really good?

What?

You...

Having my back before.

Well, you were...

You were sort of right.

Thank you.

I'm gonna kiss you now, Millie.

Okay.

Oh...

Oh...

Hey, honey.

Sorry I'm late.

Cory dragged me into the office
for another creative meeting.

I am starving.

Hey, you okay?

I need to tell you something.

What is it?

Ahem.

Yeah?

Hey.

I'm sorry that I pushed dad away.

I...

Didn't have to yell at him
or say those things,

and I know that it was
important to you

to have a relationship
with him, and...

You tried to talk to me,
and I didn't listen.

And I'm sorry.

Amber...

If he was a real dad,

nothing you did
could have made him leave.

I know it's not your fault.

We'll always have mom.

Yeah.

And we'll always have each other.

Yeah.

Hey, do you want
to know something?

What?

Um, I learned that song
that dad played at the show.

- No way.
- Yeah.

Do you want to hear it?

Listen, honey, I got to do
something about this.

- I'm going over there.
- What is that gonna solve?

It's gonna solve my desire
to punch my brother in the face!

- That's what it's gonna solve.
- I can't believe

- that he would do this.
- He's the most selfish person

- I've ever met in my life.
- I know, but I think we need

to calm down, take a minute.

Um...

- Can I talk to you guys?
- You know what, Crosby?

I don't think it's
a good time right now, okay?

You want to have a talk?
Go ahead, talk.

Go ahead!
What the hell is wrong with you?

- Why would you do this?
- Adam.

- So you... you already know?
- Oh, God.

- I'm so sorry. I did not mean...
- You know what?

- Get out of my house...
- Honey.

Before I do something
I'm gonna regret later.

I'm sorry. I did not mean
for any of this to happen.

- Well, you never do, do you?
- That's not fair.

I have changed
over the last year,

- and I've proved that I'm not...
- How have you changed?

I don't give a damn
what you think you've proven

about yourself
over the last year.

You're selfish, Crosby.

That's what you've proven
time and time again!

I was upset about Jasmine.

I'm sorry I had
a connection with Gaby.

- I did not plan...
- He had a connection with Gaby.

It's the same connection
you have with every woman.

- It's just sex!
- Number one, you're wrong.

Number two, I know
you're worried about losing

your babysitter,
but I lost my fianc?e, okay?

And I may have lost my son,
so I didn't come out unscathed!

- She wasn't our babysitter.
- What don't you understand

about this...
She's not a babysitter!

She's a behavioral aide
for your nephew!

He's got Asperger's!
What don't you get about that?

Get it in your thick skull
your nephew has Asperger's!

I have Asperger's?

What is Asperger's?
