Parenthood (2010–2015): Season 3, Episode 1 - I Don't Want to Do This Without You - full transcript

I gonna start making
my own decisions.

Whether you
like them or not.

I'm sorry I had an affair.
I screwed up.

I want you to feel free
to move on with your life.

- I'm an alcoholic.
- She's 16 years old.

She's having sex and there's
nothing I can do about it.

I forgot what
this was like.

I want another baby.
I wanna adopt.

- Are you firing me?
- I'm letting you go.

Adam, I'm pregnant.

Kristina,
I just lost my job.



Hey, I don't know.
You're not mad?

No, I'm not
mad at all.

Okay, we're
having a baby.

♪ ♪

Oh, damn.

Come on, baby.

Let's go potty.

You all right, honey?

Yup.

Oh, gosh.

This baby's
pushing on my bladder

like you wouldn't believe.

I need an adult diaper.

Hmm.



All right,
Max, here you go.

We got huevos braveros
here for you.

Wasn't necessarily
where you died.

Max, eat your eggs.

Uh, no,
these eggs aren't good.

Mom has the good eggs.

Max, my eggs are
the same eggs as mom's eggs.

- No, they're not.
- Yes, they are.

'Cause mom is mom
and you are you

and so you can't
make them the exact same way.

Just try them and find out.

- I'll get it.
- Oh, it's Alex!

Yeah, I know.
That's my boyfriend, not yours.

Great work,
I appreciate it.

Yeah, okay, so
you're having them collated--

the proposal, the spreadsheet,
everything, right?

This guy's awesome.

Okay, bye Glenn.
Everything good?

Everything is great.

He said that
your eggs are better.

- I'm starving.
- He wouldn't eat them.

They're good, right?

Maybe, just cook them
a little bit longer.

- It'll be all dry.
- All right.

He likes them dry.

How are you doing,
Mr. Braverman.

Very well,
Alex, how are you?

- I'm doing great.
- Good.

Have you heard anything back
from those job interviews yet?

- Not yet.
- Man, just keep looking.

- Oh, I will.
- There's jobs out there.

- He knows, he's good.
- Did you check on the Internet?

- Craigslist?
- I will.

- He's got it, yes, let's go.
- Keep the fight up.

- I will, I will, every day.
- I know.

- How do I look?
- You look beautiful.

- Really?
- Yes.

Okay, I'm kinda nervous
because I have a big meeting

with the city council today
and this developer

is trying to
squash my esplanade.

It's not gonna happen.

No. He doesn't know
who he's dealing with.

No, I just feel like I haven't
talked to you in two days.

- Honey, it's all right.
- There's so much going on.

You're working,
you're pregnant.

- Today, don't forget.
- Yeah.

- Max's social skills meeting.
- At 2:00.

- Exactly.
- I'm on it.

- No ice cream.
- It was one time.

It won't happen again.
- Okay--also, the dry cleaning.

Dry cleaning.
I got it.

- I love you.
- All right, have a good day.

All right?
Ooh.

Oh, uh, sorry.
I'm gonna shave.

That's--that's okay.

It's just a little
scritchidy-scratchidy.

Bye honey.
Bye.

- All right, bye-bye.
- Oh, dad.

I left my clothes
in the dryer.

- Keep strong.
- Thank you.

I'll bring home
the ground chuck.

Will do.

We're really solid,
but we can also be kinda funky.

We love the classics
but you'll

also hear
Lady Gaga in this house.

The Beatles and--

Oh, love the Gaga.

- Lady Gaga.
- Born This Way.

I'm trying to interject
some personality into this.

- This is personality?
- Let me start over.

Honey, we already have
a great adoption video.

All right?

We're going to
get a baby on our own.

We don't need Lady Gaga.

We haven't had a single
interview in six months.

We need Gaga.

Sarah, lookie here.

I got you
an early birthday present.

Look at that.

Oh, my God.

What is this?

Gesture of love, sweetheart.
That is a genuine

- it's good, yeah.
- Good one, daddy.

Very, very funny.

You know, everybody...

I just wanna tell you that
I am not afraid of turning 40.

In fact, I'm really
excited about it.

I'm gonna look 40 in the face
and say, you know,

"Hi 40, this is gonna be
the best decade ever."

It's gonna be
the decade of Sarah.

It's gonna be the--you know.

You're struggling
with turning 40?

- Yeah, you think? Yes.
- No, I'm not struggling.

- Yeah.
- I understand.

It's a brutal transition.
It's not brutal.

It's my birthday.

Anyway, I have some
goodish news though.

I think I might have
found a place.

- For what?
- For me to live in.

An apartment.
Whoa.

Amber's moving out.

What are you talking about?

That's so sudden.

It had to happen sometime.

This is kinda what people do.

They move out, I mean...

- Not all people.
- I moved out, Dad.

I just came back.
Where is it?

It's on Franklin,

like, a couple
blocks from, like, Evans.

Oh, yeah.

That's not far
from the homeless shelter.

Amber, that's kinda, like,
the crack district, isn't it?

- No.
- Um, it's not that bad.

Well, it'll go
with the haircut anyway.

It's actually an up and coming
neighborhood now, you know?

Artists have moved in.

There's an art gallery
there now, I think.

Yeah.

I think, in a couple of years
that's going to be

a very cool neighborhood.

- I'm ahead of the curve.
- Well, what's the place like?

I'm gonna see it today,
so I'll let you know.

- Well, let me go with you.
- Do I have a choice?

- No.
- Great.

Morning, Gail.
That's a good-looking cardigan.

I think I have
the same one.

Look who it is.

Hey.

- Hey, right on time.
- Yeah.

Jabbar,
your mom's here, buddy.

How'd it go?

Um, it was good.

- Yeah?
- He fell asleep by 8:30.

But I took him to Dr. Weiss
and he said he might have to

take out his molar
to make room

for the new tooth
that's poking through.

Yeesh,
thanks for taking him.

- Hi mommy.
- Hey, sweetie.

All right, buddy.
I'll see you Tuesday.

- Okay.
- Unh!

- All aboard.
- Where's my kiss?

Where's my kiss?
Mwah!

Okay, um,
I will see you guys on Tuesday.

- Tuesday, yeah.
- Okay.

Bye, daddy.
I love you.

I'm gonna miss you.
Love you too, buddy.

I already miss you.
Okay.

Bye, daddy.

It's my baby mama.

Oh, wow.

Wow.

Oh, honey, don't worry.

We'll find something--
- I love it!

- What?
- It's perfect.

I mean,
look at how cool this is.

No, Amber--

I mean,
I know it's not perfect now.

You're teasing me.

But seriously,
just think about the potential.

- I mean--
- There's no potential.

It would be amazing,
with some paint and stuff.

Honey, paint couldn't
get the four inches of filth.

Look! A sky light!

Honey, this is like
a scene from Shutter Island.

This is not a place to live.
Come on, that's very funny.

Don't sit on that,
don't sit on that!

Ew!
What?

There's like
a cloud that came up.

Oh, God!
Excuse me, calm down.

Let's not
cry about it, it's--

- I love it so much.
- Oh, Amber, you know what?

Honey...

It's a young artist's loft,
you know?

Just one point.
There's--there's no kitchen.

This--this is a kitchen.
What--what do I need?

Wait a minute,
I'm sorry.

This is a kitchen
or that's a kitchen?

That's cold and that's hot.
Well, you know,

- there's no sink.
- So it's got everything I need.

Somebody's stuff
is still here.

I mean look just--
just try to imagine it.

It's amazing and it's
everything that I want.

Really?

I really, really,
really love it, yes.

Can you just try
not to be negative about it

for one second because
I really, really love it.

- Okay.
- I wanna live here.

I'm gonna try.

I love it.

Original Air Date on September 13, 2011

== sync, corrected by elderman ==

I don't remember the lines
being this long.

What? Stop complaining,
old man.

Did you just
call me old?

I'm just feeling nervous

because I feel like
I'm torturing you.

- Is this bad?
- No, it's not torture.

I'm feeling tortured because
this line is taking forever.

Speed it up.
Stop.

- Yeah, speed it up.
- Alex, what is wrong with you?

Haddie?

I thought we
were making jokes.

- Oh my God!
- Hi.

- How are you?
- Great, we'll never leave now.

I mean, good.
How are you.

I can't believe
we're seniors.

From seventh grade to this?
No, there's no way.

Hey, Max. Hey, Alex.
Hey. How are you doing?

Doing good.

Um, so, did you get
the emails about the party

at Zach's this Saturday?

Yes.

The first party of
senior year is gonna be amazing.

Amazing,
it's gonna be good, right?

What do you think?
You got the email?

Yeah. Yeah.
It's going to be great.

He doesn't
really like parties.

I liked them when
I was in high school.

Right, okay.

Is there gonna
be alcohol at the party?

Uh...

- Max!
- Most definitely not, no.

It's a great question.

Because if there is,
then Alex shouldn't go

'cause he's an alcoholic.

Great.

Wait, just--Max is just
looking out for me, okay?

Okay.

Look, I'll go to the party.
I'll be there.

All right, cool, yeah.

Yeah, well, it was
great seeing you and, I'll--

- Yeah, you too.
- I'll see you Saturday.

- Okay.
- See ya.

Yeah.

Hello?
Yes, this is Adam Braverman.

Oh! Hi Paul! Yeah.

No, of course I remember
sending you my resume.

Yes, I am still available.

Tomorrow at 4:00,
what--you know what?

Just let me check my schedule,
hold on one second.

Paul, you know what,
I got to juggle

a few things around
but I can be there.

I'll see you
tomorrow at 4:00.

I'm looking forward
to meeting you too.

I love beverages, and you know,
they need to be distributed.

I'm--I'm--
no, I'm just joking around.

Okay, thank you.

All right.

- Hi Zoe! How are you?
- Amazing, wonderful.

Um, gosh, I should go decaf.
Oh, I need some caffeine though.

I'm feeling so laggy,
that afternoon thing, you know.

I'm exhausted.

Um, let's do caf double--
no, no, you know,

okay half caf, sold.

Okay! Good, great, thanks
for bringing me into that.

Oh my God,
are you pregnant?

No, I just had
a really big burrito for lunch,

so I'm pregnant, yeah.

Well, congratulations.
That's amazing.

Yup.

I just have babies
on the brain

because my husband and I have
been trying for a second,

you know, so, I probably
wouldn't even notice--

$1.50.

Yeah, great, thanks.
Um, keep the change.

Oh! I can
go to college, thanks.

Do you know
what you're having?

Oh, it's, um, a human baby,
so, I'm pretty excited.

Mm-hmm.

Amber, are you
in here? Hey!

Um, you left this
out on the table.

They're holding your diploma

because of
overdue library books?

What is that?

Yes, I know.

Amber, you should
get your diploma.

We should
take care of this.

I mean, it's
not really that important.

I mean, it's just
a piece of paper, right?

It doesn't even matter.
It's not important?

It's your diploma
from high school.

- At least I graduated.
- Oh, God.

What are you doing?

This will
fit that apartment perfectly.

- What apartment?
- The apartment that we saw.

The sinkless apartment?

- That's the one!
- You're not living there.

- Well--
- Let's keep looking.

I beg to differ.
I took it.

- No, you didn't.
- I took it--yes, I did.

Why?

Because three other people
wanted it,

and I didn't
want to lose it.

So, I drove back
and put down a deposit.

Okay, when is
this move happening?

I move in
at the end of the week.

Amber, I don't understand
what you're doing.

If you like
the apartment, fine,

but you know,
it wasn't that long ago

that you were not
in a very good place

and it just feels like things
are moving very quickly

and haphazard and--and scary.

Okay, okay--I get it.
Okay?

But I just
gotta get out of here.

- Why?
- Okay?

What's so bad
about living here?

Because I feel like
I disappointed everybody,

and I feel suffocated,
and I want my own space.

- Okay.
- I need space now, okay?

That's the way
that it is, okay?

- Okay.
- Great.

So there's about
five to ten days of travel

to deal with the
regional distributors,

Spokane, Tacoma, Idaho Falls,
is that an issue?

Nope, nope,
I can travel.

Uh-huh.
You saw the salary?

I did.

And it's certainly less
than what I'm accustomed to,

but I can make that work.

I see you were
a senior executive at TNS.

Yeah, C.O.O.

C.O.O.

But you realize the position
here at R & B is much different.

I do, I do, I understand.

And I'm ready
to start out there, and...

You know,
we'll see what happens.

I'm a very creative guy,

I had a lot of--

- Yeah, um, look, Adam.
- Yeah.

This is not
a creative position.

It's getting the beverages
into the stores

and getting
paid for them.

That's the job.

Right, yeah.

No, I get it.

I do.

And I'm ready
to make this transition.

This is where I'm at
in my life,

and I'm ready for it.

So you just have to tell me
what I have to do

to get the job,
and I'm ready to go.

- I have checked the library.
- Yeah?

I'm just getting very
frustrated because all I want

is my daughter's diploma,
her high school diploma.

I know.

That she
worked so hard for.

I'm sure she did.

And completed
all of her classes.

It was just
these pesky library books

that were
standing in the way now.

Yeah, but I can't
release the diploma

until the books
are returned.

Which I understand,
which I think--

- They belong to the school.
- Which I think we talked about.

No, I know, and she has
returned the books now

which I--Mrs. Pollino.

That's what they all say.

What? No, no, no,
it wasn't like a lie.

It was actual books that--

There's a lock
on the account.

She didn't even
care about the diploma.

I understand that there's
a lock on the account.

But Mrs. Pollino said if you
just picked up the phone

and called her that then
she can check, make sure--

Oh, you know,
it doesn't matter who I talk to.

If it doesn't show up
in the computer--

That is so insane,
because the person--

I can't give out
the diploma.

Put that information
in the computer

so change the information
in the computer.

I know.

So I'm just asking you if you
could pick up the phone

and call Mrs. Pollino
and then it

will be in the computer and
then you can release it!

What is happening?
What's--what's happening?

- Oh, I'm taking my lunch.
- Right now?

Right now.

No one seems to care
about my daughter's diploma!

- Sarah.
- Hi.

Hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Hi, Sharon.
- Hey, Mark.

We take our lunch breaks
very seriously over here,

but I'm on mine.

Would you like
to have a coffee with me?

- Are you free?
- Coffee? Um, yes.

- Yeah?
- Sure.

All right, or actually
maybe for you chamomile,

something like that.

- For me?
- Yeah.

- Do I seem tense?
- No, you just don't seem tired.

Well anyway, it's a huge
pay-cut, it's a huge step-down,

but, you know,
it's something.

A couple of months ago
I wouldn't even considered it.

Shows you how fast
things can change.

You sound really excited
about the opportunity.

- You guys good?
- Yeah.

So that was pretty awesome
the other night.

Yeah, I was, uh--
it was very awesome.

So when do I
get to see you again?

- Soon.
- Really?

Because you said
you were gonna call

the other night, remember?

Yes, and then
I was working

but I'm gonna
call you tonight

and we're
gonna make a plan.

Okay, great,
I like that.

Okay, cool.
Okay.

- Really?
- She asked a lot of questions.

I'm running out of things
to say so I'm sorry

I brought you into it.

You know, I see
what's gonna happen to you.

You're not gonna call her,
and now you're gonna

ruin the pancake house
for me.

I got this under control.

Like I don't
have enough problems.

Listen, actually I have
something serious to talk about.

What, Sandy?

Have you ever heard
of the Luncheonette?

No, is that the place
we're all gonna have to go

because of Sandy?

No, that's not the place
we're gonna go.

It's the most famous recording
studio in Northern California.

- And it came up for lease.
- And?

We should go in to business
together, you and me.

Think about that.

It's in the cosmos, all
of a sudden you have this job.

- Oh no.
- It's so stable and then--

- No, no, no.
- And then this comes up?

I'm being serious.

You would be the perfect
right brain to my left brain.

Crosby, do you even know
what a business plan is?

I haven't figured
all that out yet.

What kind of initial income
do you anticipate?

I don't know exactly,
but a lot.

You gotta have
a business plan.

You gonna be organized.

You can't just
stumble into this.

Listen, I have
relationships with bands.

Mm-hm.

They love me and
they hate my boss.

If I started my own studio,
they would all follow me

over in a second.

And that's built-in clientele.

What do you think
of that business plan?

- Do you have that in writing?
- I have it in fist bumps.

Listen to me Crosby,
take it from me.

Keep your job, okay?

Keep your job.

Hey, talk to you tonight.

- Yup, absolutely.
- Thank you, Sandy.

There you go.

Zoe, hi.
Um, how's your Thursday?

- Phenomenal.
- Great, I will have the usual.

- You want it in that?
- Um...

You know what,
can I just talk to you

for a second?

- All right, yeah.
- Um...

I would like to
apologize for yesterday.

That was presumptuous of me

and, um, I overstepped
my boundaries.

Perhaps I just got excited,
you know, so--but...

You know what?
It's--you're--that's fine.

- It's cool.
- Okay.

Don't worry about it.

You know, I'd--
the truth is

I don't really
know what to say about it

because I'm not keeping it,

so it's just kind of easier
not to think about it.

You know what I mean?
Yeah.

Um...

Anyway, I'm getting
your coffee.

Oh, I don't know.

The diploma just
became important to me

because it didn't
seem important to her.

And I've wanted
something better for her.

Like college.

Well, I don't
wanna pressure her,

I just thought she'd be
in a different place.

Well, I see a lot of kids
come through here

and they graduate
and they go

right to college,

and they're not even
close to being ready for it.

Yeah.

And Amber
will go to college.

- You think?
- Yeah.

And when she goes,
she'll be ready to go

and she's gonna
do great things.

And I know it's hard to
think of it like this now,

but I think that this,
waiting for her

is a blessing in disguise.

- Do you?
- Yes.

Sometimes you just
have to believe....

You know?

Yeah, yeah.

Wow.

- Uh...
- I'm sorry.

No...No, no, no.

I was--
- no.

I just wasn't
expecting it.

That's why I said...
Why would you?

It was so weird.
It wasn't weird.

No, it wasn't
weird at all, I--

You know what,
I'm sorry.

- I don't know why I said--
- It just came out of nowhere.

And it's--
I'm turning 40 this week.

- Oh! Happy--
- No, it's okay.

But I think maybe I'm having
some more issues than I thought.

I'm having some troubles.
- Uh, I--

I didn't think
I had any problem with it

but I think I'm--
I was acting out,

you know,
how people do, but...

No.

Let's pretend
it never happened.

Can we do that?

Can we just like
never speak of this again?

I was--
I shouldn't have said "whoa."

All right, yeah.
All right, but--thanks.

But nice to see you.
Thanks for the coffee.

Over a 1,000 teens
die each year

from car accidents
involving drunk driving.

Okay, Max.

Oh, and almost 90% of
alcoholics will relapse

at least once
before reaching sobriety.

I really don't think you
should go to this party, Alex.

I think you're
being insensitive,

and I don't think you know
what you're talking about.

Stop talking.

Well, I know there's alcohol
at high school parties.

I watch
Friday Night Lights.

Oh, I forgot that
you know everything.

I love you, Max,
I love you.

I wish I was as honest
with myself as you.

Hey, you're going 20 miles
under the speed limit.

- You need to go faster.
- What does that mean?

It means if I was
being honest with myself,

I wouldn't be
going to this party.

Okay, I knew you
didn't want to go.

I knew it meant a lot to you,
so that's why I'm going.

- It's--what?
It doesn't mean anything to me.

I don't care,
it's just a stupid party.

If you don't think
it's a good idea,

we don't have to go.

It's just--I think it'll be
a dumb move for me

to go to a high school party

where I don't
want to be at anyway.

I don't want to be flakey
and I just told everybody

that I was gonna go.

And the party is tomorrow.

Then go.

No, seriously, go.

So how about
we do this?

How about I'll
pick you up after the party

and we'll
just hang out afterwards.

Yeah, okay.

Toothbrush! Aftershave!

Bar of soap! Hike!

Terrible hike!

- Oh!
- Oh!

Yeah!

- Oh, yeah!
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Let's go!

Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
- Touchdown, touchdown!

All right, QB,
let's see what you got.

- 39, 38, 430, hut-hut!

Go for it, go for it!
Oh!

Unh!

Are you kidding me?
Come on!

Who were you
throwing it to?

- You.
- Go get it.

- You.
- You threw it.

- You.
- I didn't throw it over there.

Aah!

I can't find it.

Well, keep looking,
it's in there.

- I don't see it.
- It didn't vanish.

Um...
Crosby, Crosby, Crosby.

I am so sorry couldn't
call you the other night.

I couldn't--
I was in a session

that went really late
and I--

Crosby, we should talk.

I feel like we have this

incredible connection
between us.

Don't you feel that?

Yeah, it's
a strong connection.

Yeah, but something's
holding you back though,

and I don't want to just
walk away from this

without trying to figure out
what's keeping you

from moving forward,
I--we just--

- I found it.
- Hey.

Hey, who's this little guy?

This is my son, Jabbar.

Oh, my God.
You're a dad?

Yup, I'm a dad.

So, that's why you
didn't call the other night?

Because you're a father?

Yup.

It's--we get really busy
and, you know.

- I gotta focus on--
- Oh, my God.

Hi, Jabbar.
Hi.

Hi, I'm Sandy.
I'm your dad's special friend.

Oh.

You're up.

Yup.

Again, huh?

- Yeah.
- Honey, what you doing?

Crosby had this crazy idea
to take over

this old
recording studio.

So I'm just
running some numbers.

- A recording studio?
- Yup.

Isn't the music industry
kind of imploding?

Yeah, I don't know.
It's interesting.

- Yeah?
- Mm.

Why don't you
go upstairs, okay?

I will in a minute.

Honey, they're gonna
call you about that job.

They'd be so crazy not to.
Well, I hope so.

It's just
I'm getting worried, you know?

I mean, I can't
believe the timing.

It's great.

Well, I have some,
sort of good news.

What's that?

They've asked me to stay on
and they've offered me

a full-time position.

- What did you tell them?
- They took me to lunch.

They said, "Kristina,
you're doing such a great job."

You told them yes.

I felt like I had to
say yes in the moment.

But you didn't need to
say yes in the moment.

You could've said "I need
to discuss this with my family."

I'm telling you right now.
I'm discussing.

Why are you
being so discouraging?

We need the money, Adam.
We don't have--

I know we
need the money, Kristina.

It's a lot less money
than we need.

I'm sure it's like,
I don't know,

25% of what we need.

It's 25% more than what
we're making right now, okay?

Our savings is almost gone.

Our cushion's nil.
I'm not--I'm just saying--

- What? It's my fault?
- It's not.

Kristina, I'm the one

who's supposed to be
taking care of us.

Hey, shh.

I'm the one who's supposed
to be providing for the family.

And you are, you do.
I just want to help.

Do you have
any idea what that

feels like for me not to
be able to do that right now?

Do you have any idea
what that feels like?

I do, I get it.
I just want to help.

That's all I want to do.

Adam.

- Let me flip those, please.
- No, no, no, no.

And you never
flip another man's burger.

That's for starters.

Excellent,
now we're talking.

Just like Jackson Pollock.

Wow, looks
really good, guys.

These brownies are great.

Yeah. There's a jar
of pickles on the fridge.

Oh, I look up and
she's just standing there.

Wait, this is
at your house?

- She came to your house?
- Yeah.

Yeah, she came by
unannounced.

Just popped in.
Oh, Crosby.

And then she met Jabbar and
used the word "special friend."

- No.
- No, she didn't.

Crosby, that's going to
ruin the Pancake House for us.

Thank you.

Hey, I'm eyeing
the gal from Pizza Hut.

Okay.
We're good, okay?

Hey.

- Hi!
- Hey.

- Look who's here.
- Two hours late.

- Yeah.
- Careful.

- That's a cute car.
- Better late than never.

- Check it out.
- I know, it's cute.

Mom and dad helped.
Hey.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Sorry I'm late,
Happy Birthday.

Thank you so much.

Sorry I had some
errands to run.

- Okay.
- I'm sorry about that.

Well, dad was trying to
hold the grill for you.

But everybody got hungry.
That's cool.

I actually ate already too,
so whatever.

We're going to
eat really soon though

with the rest
of us, so...

Okay, yeah, cool,
this is fine.

Sorry,
everybody just got hungry.

Yeah, we've been
waiting and so this is like--

- Yeah, I got it.
- Yeah, you know ping-pong.

It'll make you hungry.
Believe me, I'm getting that.

Getting the vibe.

I don't mean to be--
but she could've, like,

texted or,
you know, something.

- You all right?
- Yeah.

- Hi!
- Oh!

I'm so happy to see you.
Okay, it's time to do shots.

- What?
- Yup. We gotta loosen you up.

So soon?

You know what?
You're really loose.

Since Alex,
I never seen you.

Okay.

You guys were
in your cocoon all summer.

Time for us to
spend time together.

My angel, my baby.
I'm so happy you're here.

- I'm happy to be here.
- Okay, to all of us.

We've known each other
since seventh grade.

Sixth grade.

- I know!
- Okay, sixth grade.

Hey.
Welcome to mi casa.

You guys taking shots?
Yes.

- Yes.
- Only if you're taking a shot.

- Oh!
- Look at the party!

This is to our senior year.
Senior year.

Best year of our lives ever.

Doing it all together.
Okay.

- Whoo!
- Try to do this.

You gotta slurp it down.

Another one?

Whoo!

Braverman flag.

I can't believe
I'm going to be left here.

I know, but the bus
goes right by my place.

- Is that your third beer?
- Come over all the time.

It'll be like our place.

Oh, my God,
it's like spring break for you.

Hey, let me
ask you something.

If this recording studio
is so great,

then why is it
been sitting for lease

for four months?

How do you
know about that?

I looked it up
on the computer.

You know what that is?
Yeah.

Well, I would think
because the real estate market--

you know,
people are afraid to jump in.

Well, probably
for good reason.

I mean, why spend big money
on a recording studio

when you can do everything
from your living room couch.

- Look--
- why?

There's a lot more
to making music

than pushing buttons
on a computer, all right?

The White Album
wasn't made on a computer.

Sticky Fingers
wasn't made on a computer.

Artists, they need a--
they need an environment

to be inspired by.

Believe me,
when you this place

you're gonna know
what I'm talking about.

Yeah, well,
you know what I think?

Mm?

I think I'm
gonna dance tonight.

- Oh.
- Oh, no.

- It's starting.
- The fever.

- It's starting.
- The fever is in the house.

So, yeah.

So, what--
you attacked him?

I can't even explain it.

I still don't even
know what happened.

I kissed him like a--

like a starving person
who saw a sandwich.

Good.

But I think he likes you,
honestly,

so maybe it's not
a bad thing at all.

- Look at those two.
- Yeah.

He's gonna
be lost without her.

It's really nice
they have each other.

I really want Sydney
to have a little brother.

Or little sister.

She will one day.

The latte girl at work
is pregnant,

and I really want to
ask her if I can buy her baby.

That sounds kind of insane.

No, no, it's not insane.

I mean, she sells coffee,
you know.

So probably
she'd sell her baby.

That's--
that was my reasoning.

That was exactly my line.

Stop looking--
I'm confiding in you.

Be nice.

Oh boy.

Kristina?

Yeah,
I need to pee again.

I think I'm going to
set a record.

I'll tell you,
it's just crazy.

Kristina Anne
Nicholas-Braverman.

I love you and
I'm going to get a job.

- You're plastered.
- And I'm okay if you work.

I'm okay if you don't work.

We will figure it out.

I'm just so happy
we're having a baby.

I thought we were done,
and I am so happy we're not.

And you can
stay mad at me

but I'm not going to
stay mad at you.

You had a third beer,
didn't you?

Maybe.

Mm, beer tastes good.

Uh-huh.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
steady-yee-yee-yee.

- Oh! Hey.
- Hey.

- Did you feel that?
- Oh, hey, yeah.

- Hey! Baby's kicking!
- Just a kick.

Uh, Max, Jabbar, Sydney,
come here.

You wanna feel this?
It was a big one.

- Come on in here Max.
- Here, gently, okay? See?

- That was huge.
- Did you feel that one?

It, like, flipped.
Like a back handspring.

- Is it a boy or a girl?
- He punched my hand.

Why do you have to go?
Are you meeting people?

What are you doing?

Because I have to
go get the key.

You're going to
get the key right now?

Why can't you
just get it tomorrow?

It's my apartment.
Well, it's my birthday.

It's my 40th birthday
and I'm excited.

Why isn't that
a bigger deal?

I didn't know you were going

I'm not freaking out,

It's just really not nice.
- Why are you--

It's not like there's 1,000
people in there

and my daughter's
the first one to leave?

You're riding me

It's just feels terrible.

Sorry.

I'm gonna miss you.

And I feel so dumb

because, you know,
I want you to move on.

That's what you're
supposed to do.

But I'm really
going to miss you a lot.

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

I have to go.

Don't, like,
feel sorry for me, I'm fine.

- Okay.
- I'm just 40, you know.

he met your special friend.

Yeah. Well, listen, um--

I just thought that
we were gonna discuss it

before we introduce him
to her?

Look, it's not--
it wasn't like that.

It didn't--
this is not somebody

I wanna introduce
Jabbar to, okay?

She just stopped by,
it was not planned.

It's just a casual--
- Hmm.

Arrangement or sorts.

All right, well...

I just think in the future
you could be a little more

careful about who you
hook up with for his sake.

That's it.

So, I'm just, uh,
I'm not suppose to date,

I should just sit at home
patiently and--

No, that's not--
no, of course you should date.

I'm dating.

- Well, have fun and I'll--
- Thanks.

Yeah, I'll talk

The parents of the kid
that you hit

intend to press charges.

All right.

it's gonna be okay.

You didn't seriously injure him,
and it's your first offense.

And you're
a sympathetic defendant, so...

Yeah, it's not...

It's not my first offense.

Julia, you can't
tell Haddie, please.

Do you want to
tell me more about that?

remember about it?

Um, it was here, right?

It was right out--
right out in the yard.

Oh, boy,
you lie so bad.

Why?

You don't remember it

- You missed it.
- What do you mean? Where was I?

Was that...

With Charlie Greg?

Was that--?

All I could think about
that whole night

was you on the back

going around those
hairpin turns in Big Sur.

Oh, yeah.

That was really stupid.

That was the worst
birthday party of my life.

Don't worry
too much about her.

You know,

Just like you did.

She may even make
the same mistakes that you did.

But Amber's
