Parenthood (2010–2015): Season 2, Episode 3 - I'm Cooler Than You Think - full transcript

I've been, uh, chosen
to join the tour company.

The European tour?
Yeah.

Well, what about Jabbar?

He can live with my mom.

I'm his dad.
He should stay with me.

Where's Jabbar's room?

I think that he'd be
better off with her.

Well, I'm his dad.

And you'll see him
every day, Crosby.

Hey, everybody.
I'd like to introduce you to Sarah.

She's the intern
that I told you about.



Anyone ever heard of nepotism?

I want her to have
a brother or sister.

Okay.

We can't wait forever
on this, you know.

Oh.

I can't believe we're
having this conversation.

Neither can I.

Sydney! Finish brushing your teeth!
We got to go!

I'm trying to
find my Baby Boo-boo!

It's under the purse box!

Why do I know that?

Because you are the greatest.

Yeah? Mmm.
Mmm-hmm.

Oh.



Okay. Wanna know what else I know?
What?

Patsy the Bunny is wearing
Bitty Baby's pants.

Oh.
What do you think about that?

I think that we should do
this whole thing again.

Yeah? Sydney!

I'm coming!

What whole thing again?

We should
have another baby.

Yeah. Yeah.
I'm ready.

Let's talk about it.
Okay. We'll talk about it.

Yes.
Okay.

Why were you kissing Daddy?

Because we're talking
about something exciting.

What stuff that's exciting?

Um, I will tell you
in the car, Bug.

Okay. Right, we'll talk
about it later tonight?

Yes. Yeah, yeah, we'll
talk about it later.

Let's just keep it between us.
Okay.

Keep what
between us?

The exciting stuff that
we're talking about.

Yes. Okay.

And I will tell you.
I'll explain.

Okay, we'll explain later.
Yes.

I love you. All right.

I love you. Oh, Daddy, don't
forget the field trip today!

Yes, okay.
Yeah, all right.

Come on. Let's go, baby. Bye.

Max! What you got going on, my man?
He's coloring.

Hey, you want to know what
I'm doing at work today?

No.

Um, Mom?
Yeah?

Can you take me to
Target after school?

Target? I just went to Target.
What do you need?

Um, I don't know.
I just need some stuff

'cause I'm going to be running
for Student Council President.

What'd you say?
Oh!

And I'm going to be
running and it's whatever.

You are? This is a Braverman
family tradition.

I was Treasurer.
No, I know. Yeah.

No kidding?
What about...

Uh, obviously, I don't have the
experience your mother does

in campaigning, but...
Right.

This is a true campaign.
When is the election?

It's next week.
Okay.

I don't have much time today.

We have to get poster board, markers...
Mmm, I know.

Crayons, stickers.
I was gonna get it.

No, I was gonna get this stuff.

I will run
your campaign for you.

Hey, sweetie,
congratulations, okay.

Way to put yourself out there.

I didn't win yet or anything.

You're gonna win, because
I'm going to help you.

Hey, hey, hey!
Could you please tell them not to honk?

The neighbors don't like that.

- Oh, my God!
- I'm so excited for her!

Hey, you know what, Max?

If we leave right now, I can
take you to school today.

Nope. Mom takes me.
Yeah.

Well. All right, got it.

He has to work. It's part of our pattern.
Okay, I got to go.

Honey, I love you.
I love you.

Max.

Dad, you just messed up my drawing.
I'm sorry. Have a good day.

You have
a good day, too.

I'll save your supper.

Okay.
Ooh.

This guy who's up to bat here.

He's a great hitter...
Jabbar!

For the third time,
go brush your teeth.

I have to see who's gonna win!
It's extra innings!

No, listen to your grandma.

Just go grab your toothbrush.

You can finish brushing
while we watch the...

Uh-uh. Uh-uh. It's late.
No?

Give your father
a kiss goodnight.

Okay.
Goodnight, Daddy.

I'll tell you who won
in the morning.

I'll be back there in a minute.

I'm just gonna... Oh!
It's late, Crosby.

Well, someone's gonna score and
then the game will be over.

Goodnight.

Okay, I'm probably gonna miss this if
I get in the car right now and drive.

Goodnight.

Okay.

Crabcake?

Hi!
Hi, sweetie.

- Hey. No?
- Okay.

It couldn't be. Yes, it's you.
Oh, I remember you.

Yeah, a bit
overplayed, sweetie.

I don't think you're any taller, but...
Very dramatic.

Where have you been? You spend all
of your time at this Kelsey's house.

I mean, I wanted you to
make a friend, but come on.

Okay,
are you jealous?

You should bring her
over here, you know.

Well, you know, not if you're
going to act like this.

- I'll be different.
- I'll be more normal.

Okay, great. I can't wait to see that.
Where are you going?

I'm going to go upstairs, because
you're stressing me out.

I just got home.
You're stressing me out.

I need to mellow.
It's too tense down here.

You're not drinking
coffee, right?

Please tell me that's not coffee.
Of course, I am.

It's decaf. It's not decaf.
Thank you, ladies.

I appreciate it.
I'll see you later.

I just think
it's weird, you know.

I mean, she's...
Lives at this girl's house.

It's... I don't...
You know, sweetie.

I kind of remember you spending the
better part of your sophomore year

at Polly
what's-her-name's house.

Polly Morgenthal, yeah.
Morgenthal, that's right.

Yeah, it's normal.
It's fine. Yeah.

Yeah, well, I'm just saying,
you know, it's not...

It's not without precedence.

She should, you know, they should
spend time over here. It's...

They will. It'll happen.
Yeah.

That'll happen.
Yeah.

And we're going to a
baseball game this weekend

and Dad said I could have as
many hot dogs as I wanted.

No, no, no, no, no.
I said we could eat quinoa and spinach salad.

You said I could have
as many hot dogs.

Says who?
Where's your recording?

I don't see any proof.

So, how's Grandma Renee,
are you being a good boy?

Grandma made Daddy
go home last night.

Well, she...
She did?

No, no...
Yeah.

She didn't make me.

It got late and then
I just bid her adieu.

Is everything okay?
Yeah.

You all right? No, it's great.
She's terrific.

Really?
Everything's hunky dory.

Speaking of awesome people...

Jabbar and I have worked out
an interpretive dance routine

we want to show you.
Ooh!

Knowing that you're a lover
of fine dance routines.

Are you ready?
I'm ready.

Double time!

Any move you want!

Look, I... I don't want
to have an argument.

I want to receive the
shipment that we ordered,

half of which we paid for.

Jay... Jay, I want to
remind you that you,

that's the same thing that
you said to me last month.

You know what,
I'm gonna bounce back

the email that you sent to me.
I got to... I got to go.

I'll talk to you later

Sorry.

Hey, what are you doing?

Well, I'm looking for shoes.

What does it look like I'm doing?
Let me see.

I'm looking for stuff
from the 2000...

C-H 330-179.
- This is 2006.

You're in the wrong place.

Nice work, Adam.

Well, I didn't do it, okay?
You got that? Yeah. Yeah.

Can I help you guys with something?
Yeah, actually you can.

Mike, this is Sarah.
She's our new intern. Hi.

Sarah, this is Mike.

She's looking for some old
models for the design team.

Can you help her out?
No problem.

Please? All right, see you later.
Bye.

That guy just
radiates tension, doesn't he?

His walk kills me.

It's like he's got a stick
up his butt or something.

Uh, yeah. Well, can't...
Can't argue with you.

I mean, don't get me wrong.

He's a really nice guy...
He is a nice guy.

But he's a little
tightly wound.

Do you know his wave, though?
This one.

Oh, God, the wave.

It's like, really not
even a double?

No, just a single.

That's pretty spot on.
That's good. I like that.

Hey. What'd you say
your name was, again?

Sarah. Yeah.
Sarah?

Mike.
Oh, hey, Mike.

Yeah, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. What's your, uh...

Forklift Mike. That's me.
Oh.

So, okay.
I'll clean this up.

Uh, you know what...
You go forklift something.

I'll do this.
No, really?

Okay, and I'II... Okay, fine.
And, you go forklift.

Okay, how about,
"Vote for Haddie Braverman,

"the one who doesn't
waver, man."

Or...
Oh, clever.

"Don't be catty,
vote for Haddie."

Haddie, "Hats off to Haddie"?

None of them.
I don't know.

I don't...
Who else is running?

Uh, there's George Emerson, and
Toby Beers, and Michaela Padrick.

Oh, Michaela's running?

That's, uh...
She's fine. She's...

I know.
It doesn't matter.

You're going to win anyway.
It doesn't matter.

What's your platform?
What's your platform like?

Like, what are you going to stand for?
What are you going to say?

Um...
I, Haddie Braverman.

Mom, I don't have a platform.

You don't have a platform?

You know what, that green...
Try the red.

It's a little bit
bolder, stronger.

It means that you're direct.
You're focused.

Okay.
It's good.

What about
your mission statement?

Let's work on that.

I don't... I don't have
a mission statement.

That's what I mean.
I don't have a mission statement

or like a platform, because I'm
just putting up posters only.

That's it.
It's not a big deal. Okay.

It's just, that's it.
I would use the blue.

Eh, glitter!

Oh boy, better
talk this over guys.

Yeah, get this bum
out of there.

Hey, Max, they're gonna
bring in a new pitcher.

You want to come
and sit with the family?

You could sit right by me and Grandpa.
What do you say?

All right.

- Where's Amber?
- Where's Amber?

Yeah.

You know, is The Met having an opening
tonight, is there a helicopter tour?

Oh, no.

She's with the fantastic people.
Why are they so fantastic?

Hey, everybody, I'd like
to make an announcement.

Oh, good.
It's a commercial.

That wasn't nice.
Oh, sorry.

Everybody raise your glass.

Raise your glass.

My daughter, Haddie Braverman,

is running for Junior
Class President.

That's right! Following in her
father's footsteps right here!

Excuse me?
Your footsteps?

Yeah.
I was Class President.

I wrote speeches.

The Student Council nerds
are gonna have a nerd off.

Haddie, you know what,
I have some buttons

that say "Braverman For
President" left over.

Oh, okay.

Boring!

How did you weld all those out?

- Chew them.
- Thanks.

When's your speech, Haddie?

Okay, can we just
watch the game?

You know what, we got to split.

You're leaving?

Yeah, yeah. Come on.
It's time to go back to Grandma's.

It's the sixth inning!

We haven't had the seventh
inning stretch yet!

Go give them a hug.

Yeah. Well, I got to
get him back to Renee's.

Bye, sweetie pie.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Or I'm in trouble.

We're his grandparents, too.

I mean, we have a say in this.

Well, I'm his dad and I
don't have a say in it, so.

I see.
Yeah.

Well, your balls will still
be here when you get back.

What balls?
What's that?

Hey, that's not what he said.

What balls...
What balls are those?

I have a lot of explaining to do.
Thank you, Grandpa.

All right, goodnight,
gentlemen.

Goodbye.
Bye, Max.

See you guys.

Anybody need a beer?
Anybody?

Anything in the kitchen?
Anybody?

Shh!
I just want to watch the game.

I will coordinate
a concerted effort

and organize the student body.

Oh, God, she still
knows the speech.

No.

So we make
it out of wood.

What kind
of wood do you use?

Uh, pine.

Do you cut down a pine tree?

No, no. The tree's
already been cut down.

But I take the lumber,
which is made out of wood

and then I put it together.

I build it. I sand it.
And I stain it.

Well, can I help you build?

Sure.

Can I have my own hammer?

Mmm... Yes.

Yey!

- What was that?
- What happened?

Double play.

Hey! I signed off
on all of these.

Can you get them over to
marketing, please? Thank you.

Okay. Are you ready?
Just give me one second.

Just be one second.
One second.

If you didn't have time for lunch
you could have told me. It's okay.

Hey, can you just wait.

I've always got time
for my baby sister.

Okay.
What's going on?

How do you feel about six
years age difference?

I thought you and Joel
were the same age?

We're not. But I'm talking
about Haddie and Max.

Did you and plan
that with Kristina?

That wasn't planned.
It just, sort of, happened that way.

What are you...
Are you pregnant?

We're trying.

Yeah?
Yeah.

That's great.
Thanks.

Good for you, Julia.

Yeah, and if we succeed very
quickly as we did the first time.

Oh...
Then it'll be six years

between Syd and a little one.

Uh-huh. Yeah.
Never a dull moment with two kids.

I'm sure.

Yeah.
Is it...

All right, I feel
like this is a silly question,

but how much more work is it?

Well, I mean the sleep
deprivation is more challenging.

Yeah.
I can tell you that.

And, uh, yeah, it's hard
when you got a job,

but, you know,
Kristina was great.

You know, I mean, Joel's awesome.
Come on.

He is. He's incredible. Yeah.
Strong recommendation.

Taken.
Let's go have lunch.

Let's celebrate.
I don't have time anymore.

We're going to celebrate
trying to have a baby.

- Come on.
- Okay.

You're very focused there.

Oh...

What are you looking for?

Um, I'm looking for a band...

A cool band to take my
daughter and her friend to.

Hmm, this sounds like
a really stupid question,

but don't most teenagers
pick out their own bands?

Well,
uh, yeah, good point.

But, um, I...
My daughter has this new friend

who is very wealthy
and very, um...

Cultured and, um, I've just sort
of lost her to this cool family.

And the parents have taken
them to places that I...

I can't compete.

But, uh, I just miss her.
And I thought I'd try to do something fun

like take them to some cool
band they've never heard of.

It's so pathetic. Ugh.

How about, um, Ben Harper?

Oh, yeah. I didn't...
I didn't see that in here.

No, you're not gonna.
Yeah, he has this new band.

It's called Fistful of Mercy.

Nothing.
They're awesome.

Okay. Um, they come here right
before they go on tour.

And, uh, they play sort
of this secret little set

of all their new music.
It's really cool. Yeah.

That sounds amazing.
How do I get tickets?

You can't.
You just got to show up at 9:00

at The Echo, Thursday night.

How do you know?
I just know.

You're that guy, aren't you?

I am that guy.

Who knows stuff.

You're welcome.
You're on lists...

You're welcome.
And you get emails...

Read
number one, Max.

Good.

Hey! Hi, Gaby.
Hi.

Max, I brought something
home I want to show you.

I thought might want to see all the
new shoes we're doing this year.

I'm doing this. I'm done.
Look, I got the new catalog.

Look, hey, I got the new
catalog right here.

I left my Math homework upstairs.
Can you go get it for me?

Max, you can go
up and get it yourself.

Can I earn an extra sticker?

Can you look at me
when you ask that?

Can I earn an extra sticker?

Yes, you can.

Gaby?

Yeah?

I need to ask you a question.

Okay.

Max shows absolutely no interest
in anything I have to say... None.

What's the question?

Well, shouldn't we be
trying to work on that?

He's making really good
progress every day.

Yeah.
So...

Well, I'd like to see him
progressing towards talking,

towards having a conversation.

I came home last night
and he was up in bed.

And I sat down with him.

I asked him questions
about his day.

I asked him...

You know,
it's just hard.

And I would like to have
a conversation with my son.

He'll get there.

Listen, Gaby, it just seems
like listening then talking,

is a pretty basic skill
he needs to practice.

And social connection is the main
thing that we're working on.

Mmm-hmm.

And it might take awhile for him to
be able to apply what he's learning

in his everyday life.

I know that.
Okay.

It's just...

Taking a lot longer
than I imagined it would.

He's doing really well.

He is.

Okay.

Thanks.
You're welcome.

I just never figured it would
ever become a big problem.

But, you know, it started to.

So. It just stopped.
No, I see. That blows.

Oh, my God, is
that like a cobbler? Push.

Sure looks like it.
You should definitely eat it.

It's gonna be good.
Yeah, I'm planning on it.

I just, uh...

Hey!
Hey.

- Hi.
- How are you?

Good. Hey.
Hi.

You know... Of course.
Hi, nice to see ya'.

Oh, do you want a plate or...

Oh, no, thanks.
I'm good.

I mean, it's fine to eat it like that.
We're good.

We do, but...

We're totally good.

Thanks for your help.

I like your shirt.
It's really cute.

Kelsey, it's mine.

We're going to go back to
Kelsey's after this, so...

- Amber, really?
- Mother, yes.

But you guys...
But you're here already.

Kelsey, you're welcome
over here any time.

She knows.

All right.
Okay.

Listen, I wanted to invite you
guys to something. Uh, it's...

Nope. No, thank you.
Um, it's this concert. Hold on.

We're good.
It doesn't matter. Hold on.

It's Ben Harper at
an underground club

that people don't even know, uh,
you know, that he's performing.

You can't get tickets.
Sorry.

You just have to
go and show up.

And he's playing with the two
other guys in a new band.

Wait, yeah, Fistful of Mercy.

Fistful of Mercy!
I heard about this!

We don't have to go to this.

She has heard about this.
Oh my God, that sounds amazing.

We have to go!
We totally have to go.

It's okay on a school night,

'cause it's a school night?

Oh, no, that's totally fine.

I mean, of course it is,
'cause it's okay with me.

That's really cool!
How did you hear about this

underground Ben Harper concert?

Yes, please, enlighten us.

You know, I just, um, you
hear things, you know.

You meet people.

So, uh, I guess I'm cooler
than you think, huh?

We will see.

Oh, yeah, we will.
The jury's still out.

Oh, is it?
It is.

Okay, well, I think we're going
to have a pretty good time.

Okay.

So, all right,
I'll see you later.

See ya'.
Bye.

She's wacky.
Let's go.

Daddy!
Come on, let's go!

Wow, a suit!

I love a guy that's got
reverence for the game.

Jabbar, I don't like
you to open that door.

Crosby!
I wasn't expecting you. Hi!

Oh, um, I got some really great
tickets for the baseball game today.

I thought I would
take Jabbar down

to one of the best
parks in the country.

There's a baseball game today?

Yeah, but I'll have him
back before bedtime.

It'll be fine.
Where are you guys going?

Buckle up.

We're on our way to church services.
It's Sunday.

We go to church.
Can you come?

Um...

Yeah, uh, yeah.
I... I'll come.

You go to church?

Oh, yeah. The Bravermans have a
very rich spiritual lineage.

We're, uh,
four-tenths Jewish,

and, um, vaguely Catholic,

and I'm told one
sixteenth Cherokee,

and, uh, then we had a
Communist-atheist grandpa,

but, uh, you know what?
How about I'll run home,

I'll put on some nicer clothes,

and I'll meet you
guys down there?

Can you save me a seat, buddy?
Yes!

Yes!
Okay.

How does that sound? Okay.
We will see you there.

Didn't see that one
coming, did ya?

We will see you there.

See you there.

Are you buckled up?

Yeah.
Okay.

Church services, Sunday.

See ya!

Hey!
What's up?

Let me guess, you're here for
some vintage campaign materials?

You're correct.

Oh, you like that?

Uh, they're here
in the kitchen.

Hey, Julia told me
the great news.

What great news?

About you guys
trying for a second.

A second what?

A second kid.

Yeah, yeah, that... That second.
Yeah. It's great, right?

Yeah. It's awesome.

Listen, I'm gonna tell
you what I told her,

a six year gap is perfect.

You guys are gonna have a ball.
Good to know.

Plus, come on, you're the coolest
mom in the neighborhood.

You got a tool belt.
You know what, give me these.

- See you later.
- Take care.

Get out of here.
Thanks, Joel.

Yeah.

Boy, oh, boy, this looks
like the original paint job.

Yeah, my husband
had it restored.

Really?
Mmm-hmm.

Well, it's beautiful.
I mean, kudos.

Well, thanks.

Just gorgeous.
Hi.

Hey, sweetheart, come here.
Come here a second.

You got to see this.
Look at this car. It's gorgeous.

Okay. Hi, I'm Sarah.

Hi, I'm Jennifer.
I am so overdue to meet you,

I hope you forgive me.

Oh, I do. And I hope
you forgive me for my dad.

Oh, no.
He's adorable.

So, um, I don't know
if the girls mentioned,

I wanted to take them to this
club to see a singer this week.

It's on a school night.

Oh, fabulous. It sounds fun.
Really?

It does, okay. Great!
Yes, good for you.

Well, I'll be with
them the whole time.

Oh, great, great.
Thank you. Yeah.

We're all just crazy
about Amber, by the way.

Thank you, well, you know, she's
just such a delight all the time.

But, uh... Kelsey, hi.
Mom...

Hi. Hi, how are you?
Good. Great.

Nice to see you. Bye.

Bye-bye.

That's picking
your friends, kiddo.

Nice.

Strong supports...
Hi.

- Hey.
- Honey, look what I found. What?

This is the book that's going
to win Haddie the presidency.

Listen, honey.

It is like The Bible.
I'm just happy that she's running, honey.

Whether or not she wins
doesn't even matter, okay.

One hundred percent.
I'm not pushing it.

God, I want her to win.

I do, too, so badly.
She's gonna win.

Okay, I just want to say this.

What?

I think that Gaby should be focusing
more on Max's social skills.

Okay, honey,
that's all she does.

She's doing his
homework with him.

Right, and while she's doing
his homework with him,

she's helping him maintain
eye contact. Uh-huh.

You know, and using the right language.
Mmm-hmm.

And asking him questions.
Yeah, I know.

Where's this coming from?
But there doesn't seem to be much progress,

and it's been months,
and a lot of money.

There's a ton.
I don't know...

I see it every single day.
I don't see that there is.

You're not here all the time...

Are you upset because he
blew you off the other day?

Is that what this is about?

That's not what this is about.
Okay.

It's not what it's about, Okay.

It's not?
I know your feelings were hurt...

All right, that's
what this is about.

It's exactly what
it's about, okay.

I'm his father.
I would like him to be interested in me.

And if not, I would like
him to be trained to be.

That didn't come out right.

Honey, trained to be?
He's not a monkey or a puppet.

I don't feel like she's doing the work.
Okay, I understand that.

But you're making this about you
when it should be about him.

Well, what's wrong with making
it about me a little bit?

I'm his father. I would like
him to take an interest in me.

I get it. I want to connect
with him, too, okay.

But it's not easy.

Don't you think it kills me
when I ask him a question

and he doesn't respond
or he flicks my hand away?

It's hurtful.
I understand that, okay.

You know what, from
now on, once a week,

Max and I are going to have dinner
together, just the two of us.

Okay.

This is a good idea, Kristina.
This is time for us.

Mmm-hmm.

Kristina, what is it?
Why are you...

I just said...
I would like you to support me in this.

I'm supporting you.
I don't feel like you're being supportive.

I just don't want you to expect
too much too soon from him.

Okay?

Okay.

I don't want you to get your
hopes up and be let down.

I get it, okay.

So, I'm gonna start this week.

You can.
Dinners with Max.

Mmm-hmm.

Hi, baby.

That took so much longer
than Bill thought it would.

I'm so sorry.
It's fine.

How was bedtime?

Did she sleep all right?

Oh, you know what?
I'm going into work late tomorrow,

I can actually
take her to school.

Did you tell your brother that
we're trying to have another baby?

Uh, I don't...

You know what, it might
have slipped out.

Yeah? A slip like, "Joel and I
are trying for number two?"

Yeah, he's my older brother
and I was excited,

and he's excited and...

I specifically asked you
not to talk to anybody

about this without
discussing it first.

Do you not want to
have another baby?

That's not
the point, Julia.

Your brother congratulated me

on something that was between us.
Can you understand?

It really put me in a corner.

Wait, it's gonna
put you in a...

This is putting you in a
corner to have a baby with me?

No, that's not.
I knew you...

Don't turn this around.
I'm not turning it around.

This is not about that. That's what you said.
I'm trying to understand.

I specifically told you
to keep this between us!

Yeah, and you also said
that it sounded great,

so I thought that we had it
worked out and I just...

No, you know what, you
worked it out, for you.

If we have another
baby, Julia, it's...

It's my day-to-day life
that's most affected here.

You've got nine months.
You've got maternity leave. And then what?

You go back to work in a job in a
world you love, full of adults.

And I'm the one
locked into diapers,

and daycare,
and all of the laundry,

and freaking
preschool politics.

Okay, you said...
You said "if"?

Yes, "lf."

Lf? So, what does
that mean?

Do you want to postpone.

Are you listening to
anything I'm saying?

I'm listening to what you're
saying and you said "if."

This is not about that, Julia!

So, does that mean that
you want to postpone

or you don't want to have it at all?
I don't know!

I don't know!

Hi!
Hi.

Did you get the book?

Yeah, yeah.

It is the best book I've ever read.
It's fantastic.

All about the speech.

Mmm-hmm.
That's the title.

It's going to
help you out a lot.

Thanks. Thank you.

It's like The Bible.

Clean underwear, top drawer.
Thanks.

Everything's highlighted, so...
Okay.

I'll be out here, babe.

You okay?

What do you think?
Should I tuck it?

Mmm.
Be nice.

Really? It's fine.
It's totally okay.

Oh, good. 'Cause
I wanted to be fine.

I'm sorry. I don't know what to tell you.
No one wants to be fine.

Why is it fine? What is...
What could make it better?

I just think it's...
You look like, um...

Like what? Help me.

I mean, that there's no...
There's nothing to...

Here, go in there. Get off the
door, right there, with the beads.

Ooh! Hey.

Hey, that's what
I'm talking about.

Like that?
Yeah, that's better.

Oh, cool. Will you do my
eyeliner like you... Like you?

No. Uh-uh.
Why?

Because we're not
going to be matching.

Okay, let's have fun tonight.

Excuse me.
Please.

Are there like passes or tickets?
Is there a list?

Are we even...
Nobody knows about this.

You can't get tickets.
You just go and you show up.

It's gonna be fun.
Don't worry about it.

I got it. I got it.

Thanks.

Just doesn't make
me feel any better.

Okay, two strikes, three balls.
Ooh, nice heat!

Bringing the thunder.

Nice. A little high,
a little high.

This is fixing up
to be a no hitter.

- Whoa! Good one.
- Good one!

Okay, time for dinner.

You heard the lady,
wash your hands.

No dinner for boys
with dirty hands.

I know.
Do you know?

Um, Renee, can I say something?

I feel like when I come over
here, I'm auditioning for you.

But the thing is,
I already got the gig.

I'm actually his dad.

And I think you can see
how much I love him

and how much I'm here and
involved, and, you know,

especially with Jasmine gone.

So, I don't know why you're
giving me the cold shoulder.

Crosby, I can see that
you are a lot of fun.

Fun, charming, happy-go-lucky.
My husband was, too.

He loved a good time.

But he didn't stick around past
Jasmine's fourth birthday.

So, you'll forgive me
if I don't applaud

when you want to take
Jabbar to a baseball game.

Oh, wait, hold on.
You know, you love your church.

And your church rocks.

I'm... I'm glad
I got to go.

But, my family, we went to the
baseball game every Sunday.

And we went as a whole group

and we sat in the bleachers
and we cheered together.

And my dad narrated
the whole thing.

And it was, you know, special.
It was our ritual.

So, baseball is your church.

Is that what you're
trying to tell me?

- Yeah.
- That's ridiculous.

Well, hold on,
hold on, hold on.

That's not ridiculous, okay.
And I want my son, Jabbar,

to have the same experience with all
the other people and the camaraderie.

So, I disagree.

And another thing,
it's not fair of you

to hold some grudge
against me for some crap

your husband did years ago.

I'm here for my son, okay?
And I'm not going anywhere!

You're gonna have
to deal with that!

Wow, this is really
fun, standing in a puddle.

Suede shoes and water puddles,

but, you know, what
are you gonna do?

I mean, I thought this
was a secret show.

Someone told me that
this was a secret show.

Just imagine how many
people would be here

if it was not a secret show.

I really can't imagine that
it could be more than this.

This looks like
everyone in Berkeley.

We'll get in
in like five minutes.

Let's not get all worried.

You know, it's, uh...
They haven't started

letting people in or whatever.

Really?
Just two?

Oh, we're three. But we're, uh...
Is that a...

We're on the... No, no, no, no.
We're on that.

We can be two.
No, we're two.

Really? Is that a joke?
I don't understand.

That's disgusting.

Hi. Have a great
time, ladies.

Oh, it's really... This is unbelievable.
I think we should go.

No, no, no.
It's Ben Harper. Come on.

I know, but we're not going to get in.
This is like a joke.

Let me talk to the guy, okay?

Watch this.

Don't do anything...
You're gonna love it. Not to worry.

Oh, hi! I just wanted to check
our names are on the list,

'cause I'm with some
really important people.

What's your name?
Braverman.

'Cause I'm with some
big music industry.

I don't have a Braverman. What?

Don't have a Braverman.
Are you sure?

Positive.

I don't understand.
We're supposed to be on the...

On the list, and, uh, is
there any way we could...

Ma'am...
Ooh, God.

Ma'am, you need to
get back in line.

Did you not get the handbook,

'cause it cuts like a knife.
I'm just saying...

Miss...
Okay, thank you.

Please get back in line.
I know music, I'm telling you.

I'll see what I can do.
Thank you so much. Okay.

I would do anything.

We're right back
there with the...

Here she comes.
How'd that go?

That went really well.
He said just a few more minutes.

Really?
Yeah.

Awesome.
Yeah. See, told you.

He found our names on the list.

Really? I don't
believe you.

That's weirdness.

- Look at this.
- How about that right there?

- No. No, no, no, that piece has an edge.
- It would never go there.

It would never...
Just give me all the pieces with edges.

All right. KRISTINA: How
about this right there?

All the pieces with edges, okay?
Hey, honey,

did you read the book yet?

No, not yet.

Okay, that's fine.
When you're ready to read it,

let me know, 'cause I have
highlighted some things for you.

Okay.

I know all the book by heart.

Oh, I bet you do.

Hey, let's watch the tone.

I do.
Okay.

Haddie, you know what,

your mother is a great
resource for you, okay?

Yeah.
Yeah, I've heard it.

She's trying to help.

Well, you know, it hasn't
been super helpful.

It's been a little controlling.

Well, let's just try not to be rude, okay?
I can actually hear you.

I'm not trying to be rude.

I just heard what you said
and I didn't like it.

It was hurtful.
Oh, you don't like anything that I say.

This is exactly...
Actually, that's not true.

This is what I mean.

Okay, why don't you listen
to me for a second?

Okay, I'm listening.
This is why I didn't want to tell you

about the campaign, 'cause I
knew you were going to go

overboard and act crazy.

Hey. I'm not crazy!
I'm not acting crazy!

I don't mean that
you're actually crazy!

Adam, I'm just
giving her research.

You're not trying to help me!
You don't listen to anything that I say!

Haddie, cool your jets, okay?
I'm listening to everything.

You're trying to make the
campaign your campaign!

I am trying to give you some
campaign strategies that...

Yeah, and I don't care about
your campaign strategies!

Obviously not!

I want to do it
on my own! Okay?

Fine. Do it on your own.

See how far you get.

Don't... Stop crying.
I'm not crying!

- Kristina...
- I have something in my throat.

You know, is she going
to get a consequence,

because she was...
She was really, really yelling?

And I really think that
deserves a consequence.

Well, does it?

I can't believe
we're not getting in.

Okay, it's officially
been an hour.

I just don't see
this happening.

Yeah, I think you're right.

Okay, let's go.

I'm sorry, girls.
Can I buy you pizza?

Mom, no. Let's go to your house.
Yeah? Yeah.

You want to come to our house?
Okay, I'm really sorry.

I don't know what happened.

Well, we got to wait
for the valet.

Sarah?
Huh, oh!

Wow, you look great.
Hi. This is Mike.

Mike. This is my daughter, Amber
and, uh, her friend Kelsey.

Hey, so we were just gonna go.

No, no, no, why?
What's going on?

Oh, we didn't, uh,
there was like a...

A trouble with, you know, they
had too many people in there.

Too many people,
are you kidding me?

But that's fine. Yeah.
We had a good time hanging out in line.

No, hold on one second.
I'll be right back.

Oh, no, no, no.
I tried. I talked to...

Don't leave.

Hey, William.

Oh, what's up, man?
How are you, man?

Is that your boyfriend?

No. No!

He's just a guy from work.

He's... Knows,
uh, the guy.

Listen, man, I got these three
friends of mine over there.

Would you mind letting them in?

He seems kind of flirty.

Okay, look at this. Huh?

Look at the waving in.
Yeah! I told you.

All right. Okay.

Have a good night.

Amazing.
Thank you.

Not a problem.
Now, let's go have some fun.

Yeah?

You're gonna love
these guys. They rock.

It's beautiful.

Thanks.

Oh, wow,
hand squeezed.

Are you gonna eat something?

No.

Great.
That's good news.

Thank you.
Oh, my God.

You look...
Bite me.

Really great.

What a rude kid.

Good morning.
Hey.

All right?
I'm just tired.

Oh.

It was worth it, though.

Oh, yeah?

That was fun.

Thank you.

Mmm...
Come on.

Oh, boy.
You can do it.

Gross.

Mmm.

Creepy.

I know.

Are you still mad at me?

No.

If we're going to have
another baby, Julia...

There has to be room for me.

You can't be the one
making all the plans.

And I just...

I can't be
the "yes man."

I just...

I know.

I do.

So...

So?

Do you want to
have another baby?

Yes.

Me too.

Oh, God, I love you.

I love you.

Okay, come on,
come on, come on.

Oh, that's deep right field!

Whoo!
Oh, that's a double.

Oh, wait,
he's getting waved in.

He's going all the way home.

Oh, whoa! The ball came out!
That's a run.

That's a run?
Yeah. We're up by two.

We're up by two.
Up by two.

I don't like this song.
Turn it off.

Max, this is a famous piece of classical music.
This is awesome.

No.

Hey, could...
Could you explain to me

what the strategy
is for that game?

I can't tell you and play.

Shh!

Dad! Stop! Stop! Stop it!
Why are you singing?

I am singing, Max, because
we're in the car together

and you won't talk to me.

I would love to talk
to you about anything.

But I ask you questions, and you...
You won't answer me.

And, you know what,
it hurts my feelings.

- So, it's just...
- I would like to know things about you,

and I would like you to know
things about me. Anything.

I'm sorry, Max.

Never mind.

I heard you say to Haddie
that you were Treasurer?

Did you get treasure
for being Treasurer?

Well, there's no treasure,
but there is money involved.

Right something about...

Yeah, well, you see, when you're in
high school, there's a President,

a Vice President, and the
Treasurer is the person

who's in charge of taking
care of the money.

Well, how much money?

How much money
did you take care of?

Well, when our
coffers were full,

it was upwards of a
couple of $1,000.

That's awesome.

Yeah, yeah, I thought so.

Well, did you ever fend off
any bloodthirsty pirates,

looking for treasure
at the Treasurer's house?

No. There were,
no pirates.

Did you and Grandpa ever have to
fend off pirates with a basket...

With only a basketball?
No, that's a good question, though.

What is it about pirates
that you like so much?

I like it when they're
slashing and shooting

and firing cannons,
sinking ships.

Oh, I wonder if there's
like a sunken pirate ship...
