Parenthood (2010–2015): Season 2, Episode 7 - Seven Names - full transcript

Hey, Gordon,
nobody's phoning it in.

You are an essential part of this
company, and we're in trouble.

You spend all your time
at this Kelsey's house.

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

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

You were
just great tonight.

The part that Kelsey said, that thing
about me being your boyfriend,

I didn't completely
hate the sound of that.

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."

Jasmine, I've done some
pretty awesome things in my life,

but nothing would be
as awesome as marrying you.

Will you marry me?

We have some
really exciting news.

You might want to
sit down for this.

Should I tell him?
Yeah, tell him.

Mommy and Daddy
are getting married.

Isn't that exciting?
We're getting married!

Do you know what a wedding is?

When you get married?

Right.
Exactly.

And there's a cake.
Oh, and there's a huge cake.

Like a four-tier cake.



I like cake.

Do you have any questions?

Uh, can I go play until we
have to leave for school?

Sure you can.
Go ahead.

Well, that was disappointing.

It was like
a total non-event.

Babe, he's six, and a boy.

Weddings aren't high
on his list of thrills.

Grounded?
Yeah.

You went to a college
party across the bay.

You told me you were going
to be at Kelsey's house,

so you're grounded.
Right, I get it.

We've been through
this before, though.

What does that mean exactly?

Come home and do your homework,

and you have a miserable
time for three days.

Why would I be grounded
when I did the right thing?

I mean, what was I supposed
to do in that situation?

Was I not incredibly
responsible and awesome?

Yeah, you were responsible
when your friend got drunk

and you did the right
thing in calling me,

but you lied to me.

That's why you're grounded.
Mom... But, Mom.

Has she told her mom yet?

I don't know.
It's not my business.

Amber.
It's not your business.

She was fished out of a pool.
She threw up in a car.

Mom.
She was really drunk.

I get it. I'm sure you've made
worse mistakes than that.

And if she doesn't
tell her, I will.

Mom. Mom.

Drew!

Mom, can you just listen?
Come eat in here!

Can you just listen? Okay.

So, today we're going to demo.

That's where we take
these big, huge hammers

and we smash the whole
bathroom to pieces

just...

It's awesome.
That sounds fun.

It is fun. Then we get started on the remodel.
We're gonna add new tile,

put in a bathtub,
maybe a shower.

Check out these fixtures I got.
These are awesome.

Feel how heavy that is.

Ooh.
Oh, yeah.

That's the stuff right there.
Fancy.

It is fancy, yes.

Hey.
Hey!

We are actually running
ahead of schedule today.

Uh-huh. We are only going
to be five minutes late

to school today.
Oh, really?

And you can't...
You can't be late to the job site.

Get out of here. Do you need this?
Yeah, I know. Yep, yep, yep.

Okay.
Okay. Thank you so much. Mmm.

Welcome. I got it covered.
Kick their construction asses!

Yeah!

I love you!
I love you, Dad!

Bye!

That is how marriage works,
give and take.

Hey! Good morning, Mary.

Good morning, Adam.

Hey. I need
to talk to you.

Yeah?

We've got a problem.

Listen, Gordon, if, uh...

If this is about
my sister, Sarah,

I'd really rather stay
out of it, you know?

This has nothing to do
with Sarah, except for

the fact that she works
for this company.

Oh, good. What's up?

I've been looking at the books,

and the numbers
just don't add up.

I can't make it work.

Look, Gordon, I know we're
looking for a turnaround here,

but I really believe
in the spring line.

We're just about to test the shoe clicker thing.
We're about to test that.

Listen to me, Adam.
Adam, Adam.

We're never going
to make it to spring.

What are you
talking about, Gordon?

I need immediate layoffs,
like yesterday.

Six or seven people, at least.

Gordon, just keep it down
for a second, all right?

What do you mean we need
to lay off seven people?

That's a significant
amount of our workforce.

I know that.

What's going on here?

I got a meeting in L.A. Today with a
potential investor who could save our asses.

But if he doesn't come through,

you've got to figure
out where we're cutting.

Listen, Gordon, I don't know
exactly what's going on here,

but I don't want to be alone

in choosing who gets to keep and
who gets to lose their job here.

Adam, you know this
group better than I do.

Better than anyone, in fact.

You're better at this than me.

Yeah, what, firing people?

Just do me a favor.
Yeah.

Come up with a list.

What's wrong?

Hey, uh, nothing.
I just woke up early.

Hi!

Hey!

You looking for me?

Did you get my text?

If I had, I wouldn't
be wearing this.

You look pretty cute.

Oh, no, I don't.
Thanks.

It's good to see you.

Good to see you.

I had a fun time
the other night.

Did you?

Any time you need help
rescuing some drunk teenagers,

who want to barf in the back of
my car, I am at your service.

That was amazing how
you saved that girl.

So, about the text, I've got to go to L.
A. On some business.

I've got some stuff
to do there and...

I know it's a little
bit short notice,

but I was wondering
if you'd, you know,

want to come along?

You're kidding?
Yeah.

I'd love to!

A couple of days in L.A.

When?
Now.

Now?
Yes, right now.

Now? Uh...
Yeah.

It's this incredible suite at
The Montage in Beverly Hills.

They've got this
amazing spa there.

I really just think
it's important for us to,

you know, spend some
time with each other.

God! That's like the
best offer I've had ever!

I... Oh. Uh, hi. Yeah.

Listen, I... I can't.
I can't do it.

I understand. If you change your
mind, you know, call me any time.

Thanks for the offer.

Okay.

I'll give you a call.
Okay.

Whoa, whoa, wait.
Wait a second.

I forgot!
These are for you.

Oh, my gosh! Thank you.
Wow. Thank you.

Okay. Bye.

So, here we are.

- This is it?
- This is the volunteering place?

- This is it.
- Hey, Terry, welcome back!

This is great! This is like perfect
for my college application.

Hi. And, like, hang out with
you, and helping people.

Is that girl homeless?

Uh, hi, Sayid.
How are you doing?

Don't get too excited.
We're making sandwiches today.

Hey, well, you know, make a
sandwich, that's something.

Do something.

That's my girl.

Some peas?

Enjoy.

Hey, Camille.

Oh, Alex! Good.
Uh, I was looking for you.

I want you to meet my
granddaughter, Haddie.

She's going to be
working with us

for a few months
doing community service.

Alex is the volunteer
coordinator here.

Oh, hi. Nice to meet you.
Uh, sorry.

Thank you. Thanks for letting
me be a part of this.

It's... You know,
it's important work

that I think you
guys are doing.

I feel good being part of it.
So, thanks.

Sure. You could drop off those
community service papers next time.

I'll sign for your hours.

Okay.

Okay. Well, here you go.
There you go.

Adam, we didn't get your picks
for the football pool yet, man.

Yeah, just, you know, count me
in, and I'll get you later.

Gotcha.
All right.

Hi, Adam.
Hey, Mary.

Hey, Jenny's costume worked
out great for Halloween.

Oh, yeah?
Yeah.

I'm glad to hear it.
Oh, hey, after you. Thank you.

All that worry for nothing,
you know?

Yeah.

I'll show you
the pictures later.

Okay. Well,
I look forward to it.

Good.
All right.

We need to get the deposition
from the Manfreid Corporation

in order to determine your
liability or lack thereof. Um...

I'm... I'm so sorry. Um...

This is... This is an emergency call.
I need to take this.

Excuse me one moment.

Hi. Is she okay?
What's happening?

Oh, God! Sorry. No.
I meant we had an emergency at work.

Well, what is it?

We found a burst pipe.

So, we've got wood rot. We've got mold.
It's like a FEMA situation.

Over there in the corner, if you
could take a look at the mold.

Yeah, so anyway, we got
to bring in some fans,

we've got to replace some beams.
Julia, we've got these guys...

It's just not pretty.
...for 10 more minutes.

You need to finish today.

That is the emergency?

Yeah.

It sounds awful.
What can I do?

Is there any way you could
pick up Syd today?

If I duck out here, we're
gonna fall way behind.

We've only got two of us today.

Joel...
I know.

I know.
Believe me, hon, I know.

It's just, I'm...
I'm really jammed up here.

I have the partners in my
office right now for a meeting.

I cannot...

Please. Please, Jules, you'd be
saving my ass here. Come on.

Okay. All right.

You're an amazing woman.

Thank you.
I love you.

Just in
your own time.

She has to get to
know you as a person.

She's not...
You have to tell her, but.

Hi.
Amber. Hi, Kelsey.

You're grounded.
You can't have friends over.

Mom, can you just give us one minute.
It's very important.

My feet are killing me.

It's okay. No offense.

Just, no... No.

Okay. It's okay.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yes.

Look, I'm sorry. I just got home.
My feet are killing me.

I know, I know. I understand.
What's going on?

Listen, she cannot
tell her mom yet.

Oh, no.
She's really... Listen.

Her mom will kill her if she
tells her in the wrong way

or if she tells her right away.
It's a big problem.

They don't have the kind of
relationship that we have.

Like, we can talk to
each other about stuff.

Like, even though
we fight, you know,

you know me as a person.
And we, like,

respect each other and stuff.
And they don't have that. And she's, like,

gonna get in a lot of trouble.
Okay.

It's gonna be a big deal.
I'm just... Okay. I trust you.

Okay?
Yeah.

You're a good friend.
Thank you.

Hey! Max, Haddie, dinner!

How're you doing?
Good.

Guess what I made?

Looks like pork chops.

You're right. And salad.

Mmm-hmm.

What's wrong?

I have to fire seven people.

What?

I have to fire seven people.

The company is not
doing well at all,

and Gordon wants me to fire seven
people so we don't go under.

Oh, my God, honey.
I mean...

Look, don't...
Don't worry.

It's nothing to be afraid of.
I mean, we'll be okay.

Yeah, we'll be okay.
We'll be okay.

What about everybody else?

I mean, who are
you going to let go?

I don't know.
I'm making a list in my head.

Who? Honey, can we
please not do this?

Tell me.
Please just tell me.

I know all these people.
Bill.

From accounting.
Bill?

Honey, you can't fire Bill.

He has a girl that just
went off to college.

I know he does, but
everybody's got something.

Jack Gillman
just bought a house.

Ari's going through a divorce.

And, you know,
Manny's kid is blind.

I mean, everybody's got something.
Manny's kid isn't...

That makes me feel guilty about it.
Did you just make that up?

Manny's kid is blind?

Why would I make up
that Manny's kid is blind?

I know he wore glasses,
but I don't think he's blind.

He's legally blind.
I need a beer.

Forget the beer.
We need to get wrecked.

What does
"getting wrecked" mean?

It's just an expression, Max.

Are we going to go to a wrecking yard?
No, Max.

Nobody's going to get wrecked.

Let's just sit down
and have dinner, okay?

No, no, no, no, no.

Is a wrecking ball going
to come in and go...

I'm not everyone's mother.

I'm... You know,
I did the best I could.

And if she wants to
tell her own mother,

and that helps Amber
keep her friendship,

then, you know, that's okay.

Right?

Absolutely!

Right, Mom?

Yeah, these are
the tough decisions.

Mom, what does that mean?

Oh.

Dad, what does she mean?

I agree with you 100%, honey.

She's not my daughter,
you know?

Hello?

It sounds to me like Amber's
the one making this decision.

Mother, she definitely is not.

But you know what a tough
time we have and I...

I'm just trying to let
her grow up a little bit.

And, you know, she had a good...
Some good points.

You know what?
Teenage girls can be very convincing.

You don't have to tell me.

But this is really serious.
And I don't even want to think about

what could happen if she tried
driving in that condition.

And you have to think
about what you would want

if the situation was reversed,
you know, if it was Amber.

Okay, my lady, here they come.

Joel's world-famous pegs and
eggs delivered straight to you.

Oh!
Mmm-hmm.

Yum! Thank you.

What's this?

This is a school project.
She has to build

the Eiffel Tower out
of Popsicle sticks.

You mean I have to.
Mmm-hmm.

This is how teachers
get back at parents.

You know, homework like this.

Babe, thank you
again for yesterday.

You're welcome.
We did it!

Yes, we did! Whoo!
Go team!

Although I was up until 1:00 a.
M. Playing catch-up.

I mean,
what are you going to do?

No. You are awesome.
Uh, so today,

you think, um, I could drop Syd
off with you after school?

Um, I don't think
that's going to work.

I can't take her to the work
site with me, you know,

kids and power tools
probably not the best combo.

Yeah.

So, I'm going to pack
her bag full of, uh,

games and some books
and her Leapster.

And with any luck you won't
even notice that she's there.

She'll be so content.

Honey, I can't have her
in my office at the firm.

That's a disaster.

Uh, well...

Okay, all right.
Yes.

I have a conference call with
New York, I will move it.

I have client meetings,
I will move them.

Great!

And I will just stay in my office
all day red-lining contracts.

Right. And they'll have
to understand that

because I'm
a mother with a child

and these things happen.
These things happen.

Sometimes, right?
You sure?

I'm... I'm sure. I'm sure.

I love you.
I love you.

All right. Will do.
Kick butt!

Sydney!

Look it, Jensen.

Dun-dun-dun...

Aw, too cool.

Oh, wow, I want to drive that!

It's a command station in space.
You can't drive it.

You can't drive a command station?
All right.

We need more blue pieces.

Yeah, get 'em for
the command center.

You got to have blue pieces.

Jensen,
can I ask you a question?

Jensen, if your parents were getting
married, wouldn't you be excited?

My mom and dad
are married.

Right, right.
Yeah, I know.

But, let's say
they weren't married.

Wouldn't you think that would
be like the coolest thing

in the world
if they got married?

You're nuts!

You think I'm...

I got my blue pieces.

Normal question.

Okay. All right,
I'm gonna...

Okay, bye.

All right, bye.

Hi, Sarah! Hi!

I'm so glad to see you.
It's Jennifer.

I know. I know. It's...
I guess Kelsey talked to you.

Amber left it
at our place. So...

Oh.

I just thought I'd swing by.
You're right on the way to Pilates.

Oh, her iPod.

Thank you for Halloween,
by the way.

I know.

I'm glad she told you.

She had such a good time.

All those costumes,
it sounds like so much fun.

Your dad as Lady Gaga!
I mean, I got to see the pictures.

So do I.

Oh, that's so great.
We don't do Halloween.

Oh.
I don't eat sugar. So...

Right.
What's the point?

You know, uh...

Are you okay?

I thought she would
have told you by now.

The girls were not
here for Halloween.

I'm sorry?

They went to a fraternity
party across the bay.

What?

And Kelsey actually
got really drunk.

Amber called from the party
and I went and picked them up.

Kelsey really wanted
to tell you herself.

Well, she didn't.

Right.

That does not
sound like Kelsey.

I don't know.

It didn't seem
like her first beer,

but, you know,
they're teenagers.

Oh, she's never done
anything like that before.

Okay, well, I don't know.
I mean...

I'm really sorry.

Oh, my God!

Don't worry.
Poverty's not contagious.

Um...

I know. I know.

Uh, I spilled...

A trash bag broke
on me outside actually

and it's not
a big deal, you know?

I don't care if
trash breaks on me.

I cleaned it all up.

Like, I cleaned it up.
It's not a big deal.

Oh, you heard of
double-bagging, right?

Yeah.

Try it.

Great.

What's wrong?

What happened?
Why? Why?

Why what?

Why would you tell
after you promised? Why?

Honey, she told me
what Kelsey had said.

It was an enormous lie.

I couldn't play along.

Of course
she's gonna lie about it.

She can't tell her
the truth yet.

I would have had to lie, too.
Well, I'm sorry.

I really needed you to
not say anything, Mom,

because now she won't let me
hang out with Kelsey anymore.

What do you mean?

She said that
everything is my fault.

She said that I am the problem.

What?

And that I'm a bad influence

and that Kelsey's not allowed
to hang out with me anymore.

Honey, no.
Yes, Mom.

Please, listen.
I'll call her. I'll fix it.

You can't, Mom.
It doesn't matter.

She won't listen
and so now I don't get

to hang out with
my one friend here.

My one friend,
and I'm all alone,

and it just sucks, Mom.

I thought I could trust you.

And I'm very, very
disappointed with you.

God.

It's not gonna happen, Adam.

Did you figure out
who we're gonna cut?

Uh, yeah, listen.

Gordon, I've been thinking.
We can be more creative about these layoffs.

Braverman, listen.

No, just listen to me
for a second, Gordon.

Instead of layoffs,
we can furlough.

We can have
four-day work weeks,

three-day work weeks for
some people, if necessary.

The big companies do this.

State governments do this.
It's been proven to work.

Listen, Adam, how can
I be more clear, okay?

This isn't some
creative assignment, okay?

I need to fire seven people.

Look, these are people, okay,

that we have worked
with for 15 years.

You think I don't know that?

Stop thinking.
Just do it, okay?

You need me to come up
there and hold your hand?

No, Gordon. Thank you.
I'll handle it.

All right. Good-bye.

Hey, I'm going on a...

Can't you knock?

Come in.

Coffee run.
Do you want anything?

'Cause it sure
seems like you do.

Yes, I would love a coffee.
Thank you.

Hey, um, Gordon asked me out.

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

but, you know,
just checking it with you.

Unbelievable.

I guess it's not.

What's the problem?

He's a little prick!
That's the problem.

I thought you guys liked each other.
Why so harsh?

Listen, Sarah,
I've known this guy

a lot longer
than you have, okay?

Okay, well,
you know him differently

and I'm getting to know him
outside work, you know?

So maybe we just have had
different experiences?

Yeah, I mean, I don't know who'd be
the better judge of his character.

I mean, the guy who he's used,
abused, and lied to for 15 years,

or the latest girl he's trying
to get in bed. I don't know.

Thanks. It's such a compliment.
It's a tough call.

Sarah, I'm sorry, okay?
I'm really sorry,

but if anybody doesn't
know this guy, it's you.

All right, well, I'm gonna
make my own decisions.

But for you,
I'm gonna decide decaf.

Oh, okay. Great, thanks.
'Cause I think you're a little worked up.

Yeah, mmm-hmm.
Thank you.

Honey, I'm home.

Hey, Jules! In here.

How you doing, baby?
Hi, Dad.

Come on in. Pop a squat.
You know what I'm saying?

Sydney here's just teaching me
the fine art of checkers.

Where's Joel?

Oh, Joel is still
at the job site.

You know he's slammed.
Poor guy.

He called in a panic and because
Camille is curing homelessness

at the community center,

I showed up like a knight in shining
armor to be on Sydney duty.

He brought his horse.
I did. It's right outside.

Wow. What is this?

That's dinner.
And you're welcome.

It is really good, Mommy.
You should try some.

Greasy goodness.
Right, Grandpa?

Uh-huh. Very greasy.
Goes down easy.

No, thank you.

All right.
Hey, guess what?

My buddy says that Joel is
doing such a great job,

he may want him to remodel his whole house.
How about that?

How about that?

I am very proud
of my son-in-law.

Sure you don't want a soda?

I want you to know this is not easy for me.
It's not easy at all.

But the truth is
that this company

has not made the profits
we hoped it would.

In fact, we're...
We're way in the red.

And so I'm afraid I'm gonna
have to lay you off.

I'm very sorry.
I feel terrible about this

and I just want you to know how
much I valued you working here.

Okay, honey, that was
really, really good.

Mmm-hmm.

But you can't start crying.

I wasn't crying.

- No, Dad.
- Mom is right.

You can't ask somebody to
take care of you emotionally

when you're firing them.

That's not what I'm doing.

Well, okay.

That is what I'm doing.

You know,
for a teenager, honey,

sometimes you're pretty wise.

Thank you.

There is this guy at the food
bank that I'm working at.

He treats me like I'm an idiot

teeny-bopper with,
like, a bleeding heart.

And, like, even if
I am, it's rude.

- That is rude.
- Well, you're not.

It's, like, subtle though.
He's so good at it.

- That's the worst kind.
- It is.

He's the worst.

And, like, just respect
the people you're around.

Yeah, well, listen, If you
really feel like he's being,

you know, derisive with the laughter,
you should call him on it.

- I'd punch him in the groin.
- Kick him where it counts.

Get him right in the...
I'm fine. I don't care.

God, I don't want to do this.

You built the Eiffel Tower.

Had to get done, didn't it?

Look at you! You rock!

Although you built it a little
too good, if you ask me,

but thank you.

Sure.

She at least
go down easy tonight?

It was six books three songs and an
IOU for 20 minutes of computer time.

Yeah, that's a lot.

Hey, how'd it go with Zeek?

I'd really rather
not talk about it.

Are you pissed because
I called your dad in?

No, I...
No, it's fine.

Yeah?
Yeah, whatever.

'Cause when you say it's fine, you make
it sound like it's actually not fine.

Babe, up until 20 minutes
ago, I was building

a tiny lattice tower out of
Popsicle sticks and a glue gun.

Now, I need to get this brief
written for the head of litigation.

Okay.

I proposed to Jasmine.

Oh, my God!
Open up!

Big news, huh?
Wow!

Worth opening the door for.

Congratulations.
Thank you.

Wait. She said yes, right?
Oh, yeah.

Cheers.
Congratulations!

I am beside myself.

You didn't see
that coming, did you?

I can't believe my little
brother's gonna take the plunge.

Something wrong?
Mmm-mmm.

I'm good.
Uh-huh.

Jabbar doesn't seem to get it
though, which is kind of weird.

What do you mean
he doesn't get it?

Well, I just expected him to be
really excited when I told him like,

whoo, fireworks
and happily ever after!

But he doesn't really care.

He's six.

Yeah, that's...

That's exactly
what Jasmine said.

But, uh, I don't know.
I was real excited to tell him and he just...

You know, he didn't...

Crosby, are you okay?

Yeah. I think he was
part of why I did it.

Well, how big a part?

Pretty big part.

Mmm-hmm.

Dude, I don't know, man.

It happened so fast.
Yep, right.

It was, like,

I just felt this immense
pressure building

and then there was this moment

and then I kind of
got swept up in it

and then all of
a sudden I'm asking

and she's saying
yes and then...

I just, maybe...
I don't know if it's that or I'm afraid

that maybe my life is gonna change
and I'm not ready for that.

It's completely natural
to be having some doubts.

So the proposal was
unplanned, all right?

Everything with you and Jasmine
and Jabbar has been unplanned.

I mean, you backed into it, but
it's really worked out, right?

Jasmine, she's great, right?

Yeah, she's, like, perfect.

You got a great family, right?

She is good and he is great.

Mmm-hmm.

So you just think it's nerves?

Yeah, I think so.
And I think it's natural. I do.

You think so?

I do.

You do?

I do.

Stop saying, "I do."

Congratulations.

Thank you.

This is it.

Love you, honey.

Love you, too.

Good luck.

Have a good day.

Hey.

What's going on?

Oh, one of my guys
screwed up some wiring

and if I don't
get in and fix it,

the client's new radiant floor
will just be a floor. So...

So you're leaving right now?

I wrote you a note.
Yeah, and there's some coffee over there.

Babe, you can't
leave right now.

I have to make that conference
call to New York and I just...

I know. I know.
I know. I'm sorry,

but I just got to get
in early on this, Jules.

Babe, I can't do this.

What can't you do?

I mean, I'm leaving work
early, I'm coming home,

I'm working all hours of the night.
Yes.

You're not even here.
My dad's here, feeding our child crap.

I think your dad did
a fine job. It's not...

It's one night.
It wasn't that bad.

You know what?

It's been a hard week, but
we're gonna get through it.

We're right at
the tail end there.

What about the next one?
My dad told me this guy wants to hire you again.

Are you gonna do it?
You know, I don't...

I'm only focused on this job.

I'm just trying to
get through this job.

Okay, listen, I know we said there
needs to be more room for you,

especially if we're going
to have a second child...

Yes, we did.
...but I need to understand,

you know, is this
what that looks like?

Come on.

Because I don't know
if we can manage it.

I don't know how that works.
How can we manage this?

I don't know.
I don't know,

but we'll figure it out, okay?

We need to discuss...
We need to discuss this.

Can we... Oh, my God.
Yes, yeah, okay.

Let's discuss this.
We just need to discuss.

Yeah, let's talk about this.

You don't want me to work ever.

Oh, give me some credit, Joel.
I moved mountains...

I moved mountains for you
for years, Julia,

and this is one week
I'm asking from you.

I'm not trying
to be ungrateful.

I'm just trying to
face reality here.

Okay, what reality is that?
Just spit it out.

The reality is
that you're working

all hours of the night.
I'm working mad hours. Yes.

There's no one watching our child.
What am I gonna...

Don't get so dramatic.

There's plenty of people
to take care of our kid.

We got a family
to take care of it.

What am I just supposed
to leave a deposition...

What are you getting at?

I'm billing $600 an hour for so
you grout some guy's bathroom?

No, you're right.
I mean, if it's, um...

If it's about whose time
is worth more, you win.

No, that's not...
Come on.

Hi, baby.
Hey, babe.

Are you and daddy fighting?

No, we're not.

Nah, we're just having
a conversation here.

Just talking.

Just a little
louder than normal.

That's not what I meant.
I'm trying to be practical and I mean...

Sweetie. Hey, it's okay.

Have you heard from Kelsey?

Um, yeah, briefly.
She just...

She told her mom,
but, you know.

She confessed everything,
but it just doesn't matter,

'cause her mom is
still blaming me, so...

That's terrible.
That's real...

It's outrageous.

Really not fair.

I'm sure she'll come around.

Maybe.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I know you're feeling lonely.

I understand
what that feels like.

I'm fine.

She was a little weird
anyway. Let's face it.

You're gonna be okay.

I know that.

Oh, no, Mom. Don't touch me.
I'll see you later.

This is enough.

Why does it always have
to be this way with you?

Hey, what are you doing here?

I came to help.

To do this with you.

Is that Glenfiddich 18 I smell?

Very astute.

24, actually.

Listen, Gordon, you don't
have to do this, all right?

You can go home.
I can handle it.

I don't know how
this happened. I just...

Yeah.

I'm so sorry.
I really am, Adam.

Go home.

I mean, it's just not fair for me
to lay all this on you, right?

You know, it's not gonna be
helpful for you to appear

so emotionally undone when
you're firing people, you know?

I mean, you can't ask them to
take care of you emotionally.

It's okay, Gordon.

You always handle everything.

You're right.

You're right.

Thanks, Adam.

Yeah.

Hey.

Uh, can you help me fix this
whisk on that big mixer guy?

Or you could just read the
directions on the side.

Okay, uh...

Would you please stop talking
to me like I'm an idiot?

I don't think you're an idiot.

Okay. Then what
do you think I am?

Do you think that I am a loser

because I come here and I care and I try.
Or do you...

Do you just think that I'm a privileged little...
Little white girl?

Are you not getting
enough attention?

I have no idea what you're
talking about right now.

Um, well, I come here every day

and I give 100%
and you sit there

and you judge me and you
don't even know me.

Yes, I do.

Kids like you come
through here all the time.

They think it looks good
on a college application.

Yeah, okay. So I want to go to college.
Is that a terrible thing?

Does that make me a bad person?
No, it doesn't,

but you're here for a week,
maybe two and then you're gone.

I guess you all seem kind of
lightweight to me sometimes.

No offense,

but it's hard enough for me running
this place without all that turnover.

So, I'm sorry.

You're just here and
you're completely selfless

and this isn't
a career path for you

and you don't want
this to be your job?

You're absolutely right.
It's my job. I get paid.

It's a career
I'm interested in.

Okay, great. Thank you.
Good to know.

Mostly because my family
used to eat here.

This place probably
saved my life.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Can you just fix the mixer?

Yeah, I know.
That's what I'm gonna do.

Thank you.

Hey, Mary.

Hi.

Um, could you come in
my office for a second?

Sure.
Thanks.

After you.

Go ahead. Take a seat.

Hey.
Hey.

How was L. A?

I've had better days.

Oh, what's wrong?

Well, we have to
fire a few people.

Adam's taking care of it now.

Oh, and do you have to...
I mean, as the boss...

Who would you rather
have fire you, right?

Mmm.

Your brother's a good man, Sarah.
One of the best.

Yeah.

I'll talk to you later.

Come on in.

Hey.
Hey.

Got yourself a few
coffees there, huh?

Listen, I'm sorry for snapping
at you the other day.

It's just...
You caught me at a bad time.

Don't worry about it.
All right.

There probably isn't, but is there
anything I can do for you today?

No, I'm good.

Adam, you should fire me.
I'll make it really easy on you.

You don't really make enough for it
to pay off, so your job is safe.

Really, Adam, if there's anything, you know?
Shoulder to cry on.

Pizza delivery.

Thank you. I'm good.

Just ask, okay?

It's decaf.

Yeah.

Hello? Hi.

Well, oh, hey, guys.
Hi, Daddy.

Wow.
Hey, sweetheart.

Hey.
This looks beautiful.

Check it out.

Um, did you bring
a change of clothes?

Yeah, it's in the car.
Let me grab it for you.

No, I got it.

Babe.

This is incredible.

You did good, Daddy.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Thank you.

Yeah. Um, you know...

I just want us
both to be happy.

Yeah, I know.
I know you do.

Um, okay, I'll be back soon.

Okay.

- All right, sir, I am leaving.
- I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye.

Hey, can you try to
be on time tomorrow?

You were a little late today.

Well, you should dock my pay.

Hi.

Hey, sweetie.

How you doing?
I'm all right.

Yeah?
Yeah.

Missed you.
Missed you, too.

Well, I did it.

Yeah?
Yeah.

Want a drink?

Shall we?

Yes, we shall.

- Hey, Sydney.
- Doesn't it smell delicious?

Uh, parents, siblings, nieces,
nephews, uh, I have...

Or rather, we have
an announcement to make.

We're getting married!

That's wonderful.

All right.

Jasmine, welcome to Crazy Town.

Grandpa said I get
to wear a tuxedo.

What?

Oh, you're excited now?

I just never thought
this day would come.

Cheers.
