Parenthood (2010–2015): Season 3, Episode 10 - Mr. Honesty - full transcript

Amber's moving out.
That's so sudden.

What people do.
They move out.

Not all people.

Mommy and Daddy
are getting married.

Isn't that exciting?
I slept with someone.

I'll never forgive
you for this.

How'd you get hooked
up with the baby?

There is a
young woman.

She works at
the coffee cart.

What, do you have
a contract with
her or something?

No. Um...
CAMlLLE: But you have
an agreement?



You're a really good boss.
I don't mean to be such a...

You gonna be okay?

Whoa.

I can't...

You know, maybe
we should just dig in.

Why don't we wait
five more minutes?

I can try him again.

I'll just try him again.

(CELL PHONE BEEPS)

Hey. How close are you?

I know, but they made
breakfast for us.

No, I know, but that...

That's not really
an excuse, Troy.

Look, but what l'm...



Okay, love you too.

Okay, bye.

(ENDS CALL)

He got called into work, so...

But he said he's really sorry.

We can reschedule.

It's more for us.
That's fine, let's, um...

Let's get this
party started.

We both want you
to have the baby.

Okay? He's gonna
sign the papers.

We really don't want
you to worry about that.

Okay?

Good.
If you can just
pass that...

JULlA: French toast.
That's the one.

She kissed you?

You?
Yeah.

She kissed you?

Yes. Why is this so
shocking to you?

(CHUCKLES)

Well, one,
because it's you.

And, I mean,
I kind ofthought
she had a crush on me.

Oh, I see. I see.
It's about you.

Holy catfish.
You're jealous. That's
what this is about now.

No, no, l'm not.
It's gonna
become about you.

Believe me, l'm not jealous.
I'm elated right now.
This is fantastic.

'Cause you had lectured me
about flirting with her,

and then you kissed her.
She kissed me, Crosby.

Listen to me.
I didn't kiss her, okay?

She kissed me.
She kissed your
neck or your lips?

Crosby, can you just...
I'm sorry,
this is very exciting.

Listen to me.
It's like Christmas
came early. Yes?

Should I or should I not
tell Kristina?

Well, yeah,
of course tell Kristina.
She's gonna love this story.

You can walk her through
why you were at her place,

and how soft her lips were,

and whether or not
you got aroused downstairs.

And she's probably feeling
great about herself
right now post-baby, so,

I think this will
go over great.
(SlGHS)

But you'll be guilt-free
and then she'll spiral into
a dark, deep depression.

So you're telling me
I shouldn't tell her?

Of course that's
what l'm telling you.

Look, I tell
Kristina everything.

You should not tell her this.

I don't know if I can
not tell her, though.

Was it awesome?

God, this is
not the point, okay?
What?

I am trying to
figure this out.

I can't... Hey, Rachel.

Hi, guys.
Oh, wow, look who it is.

(DOOR CLOSlNG)
All right.

This looks delicious.
Thanks, Rachel.

Here, let me make some
space here for you.

You can set that by him.

ADAM: Okay, we got it.
That's his.

We got it.

Why don't you just
pop the lid off for him?

Not necessary. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. I'm good.

Great.
Oh, sorry.

That's okay.
All right.

You want any...
You want any of this?

Oh, no, no, no. I'm good.

Thank you, Rachel.
You're welcome.

Okay, and you're welcome.

(CHUCKLlNG) This is fantastic.

Ow! (GASPS)

JASMlNE: Hello.

Ooh.

Does he have homework?

CROSBY: Uh, yeah,
math and science.

Hey, Jabbar, how was school?

Miss Lee told us
she's getting married.

JASMlNE: Oh, good for her.

Oh, hey, he loved the
peanut butter and jelly on
the wheatless bread.

Ooh.
Mmm-hmm.

It's a real bingo.

Yeah, that'll make
lunches easier now.

When she gets married,
she's changing her
name to Mrs. Bishop.

JASMlNE: Okay.
CROSBY: Hmm.

When are you guys
getting married?

Sweetie, your dad and l
don't live together anymore.

I know. But when are
you getting married?

Hi.
Hey.

Um, I have this week's
bills for you to sign.

Great. Thank you, Rachel.
And the good news is

the check from the
Cee Lo session finally
got here, so...

Oh.

Our first paycheck.
Congratulations.

Thank you. That
is good news.

Okay. Thank you, Rachel.

Um...

Adam, about the
other night...

Rachel, l'm sorry,
I don't want to
talk about it.

(SlGHS)

Okay, isn't this
a bit stalkerish?

JOEL: No, this is research.

Stalkery?
I've got him.

Troy Quinn. The Mission,
San Francisco.

Boyfriend to Zoe DeHaven.
There we go.

JULlA: Oh, look, he's cute.
JOEL: Yeah.

Oh, good. Oh, my God,
he's really cute.

What is he doing working
at a convenience store?
Right.

Yeah.
He could model. Or strip.

JULlA: Whoo! I'm sorry.
JOEL: What?

Wow. My wife picturing
our birth father stripping.
I just...

That's a little weird
for me, honey.

I just... I see what
she sees in him.

Okay, focus here.
On the surface.

Focus.
Right, let's find out
about the rest of him.

We've got a task at hand.
Jury's still out.

Yeah.
Fan ofWorld Cup soccer.

That's good. Okay.
Yeah?

Beach, movies. Death metal.

JULlA: Yikes.
JOEL: Boy.

JULlA: No favorite books.

Oh, well, we'll have an
illiterate headbanger.

That's okay.
But a pretty one.

Yeah. Okay. Hello.
Right. I mean...

You know what?
We got to meet this kid.

Yeah.
JOEL: lt's one thing to
have Zoe on board,

but until Troy Quinn
is ready to sign the papers,

we're just wasting our time.
Okay.

It's true.
JOEL: Yeah, so...

What are you gonna do?
Well, I want to go,

I want to go meet this kid,
you know, talk to him.

What, are you gonna take
the papers over there?

No, l'm not gonna take the...
I'm just gonna meet him
at his work.

That is stalking.

I mean...
It's a little awkward,

but aren't you gonna
feel better once we have
the green light?

(SlGHlNG) Yes, in light of
the fact that I asked someone
I work with for her baby.

This is half that
crazy, what you did.

So give me this.
Bye.

Wait, one more.

Yeah.
Yeah, all right.

I gotta go. Come on.

Oh, get out of here.

I've got things to do.
Oh, yeah.

I can't be in here making
out with you all day.

I got work to do.
Get outta here.

(DOOR SHUTTlNG)

Okay.

(KNOCKlNG)

Come in.
Hello.

Hey.
Hey.

Got a minute?

Or two or three?

Yeah.
This place is looking
groovier every week.

I like it.
Why, thank you.

What's happening with
the young man? Did he bring
up the marriage thing again?

JASMlNE: No,
he didn't, thank God.

When he said that,
it just killed me.

Yeah, that was rough.
I thought, when we told him

you were gonna move out,
that he would just...

Connect the dots?

Yeah.
I don't know if
he's as bright

as we originally thought.

(LAUGHlNG)
No, he's not.
I'm worried.

I thought he'd just figure
it out, like Santa Claus.

Wait a minute, he doesn't
believe in Santa Claus?

CROSBY: Christmas is ruined?

No, no, no. No, I mean,
you know how kids
just one day

figure it out on their own?
Oh, yeah, yeah.

You know, and I figured
he'd eventually get
that, you know,

we weren't getting married.

(JASMlNE CLEARS THROAT)

So do you think he's
going to figure that
out on his own, or...

Nope.

He is really confused.

And I don't think
it's good for him

to keep hoping for something
that's not gonna happen.

So I think that
you and I should sit him
down and tell him the truth.

Mmm-hmm.

Well, um, I think
you're right,

and I think it's
going to suck.

Yeah.
Yeah.

So, maybe we have
your mom do it.

(LAUGHlNG)
She loves giving bad news.

It's her specialty.

(PLAYlNG FOLK MUSlC)

(KNOCKlNG)

Uh, yeah?
It's the landlord.
Open up.

(STAMMERlNG)
Can you come back later?

I'm kind of busy.
Come on.

Coming.

Today.
I'm coming. I'm coming.

Hi. How are you?
Hi.

I'm fine. How are you?

I'm really good.
Good.

How's the kids?
You're $1$0 short.

Oh, no, no, no.
Last month,

you were two weeks late.
That was the exception.

Get the $1$0 to me
tomorrow, or you are out.

(STUTTERlNG) Whoa!

I can't get it to you,
you know, tomorrow.

Tomorrow. No ifs,
buts, or ands.
No, no, no.

No? None? None of them?

Hasta la vista.
Ha ha! Baby.

KRlSTlNA: Hey, hon,
thinking about
doing a cleanse.

I got this book today,
and l'm really thinking

about just getting all
the toxins out of my system

and, like, trying to lose
the rest of the baby weight.

I think I can do it while
l'm breastfeeding, but
I have to check with my doc.

Rachel kissed me.

After I went into
the Luncheonette
the other night

when Crosby said it
was urgent, and it was after
the Math Warriors tournament.

It was just out of the blue.
She just kissed me.

It was weird.

It was that night that
I went into the Luncheonette.

I debated whether
to tell you because
it didn't mean anything,

so I didn't want to
upset you, but ultimately
I want to be honest.

So...

Rachel, the girl that you
work with, kissed you?

On the lips?
Yes. Yes.

Did you kiss her back?
No, no, of course not.

No, I pushed her off.
You know, she kissed me,
and I pushed her off

and I let her know that
that is inappropriate.

(SlGHS)
You okay?

I assume she's
leaving, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

(SlNGlNG LOVE SONG)

So?
I like that, but I think l
like the ukulele more.

I think we should record
one with the ukulele

and then you can listen
and see what you think.

Sound good? Let's do it.
Mmm-hmm.

(UKULELE STRUMMlNG)

Hey.
Hey.

Hey, Landon, you're good
anytime you want.

(REGGAE DRUMBEAT PLAYlNG)

(UKULELE PLAYlNG)

What's up?

What is it?

We have to fire Rachel.

Why?

(LANDON SlNGlNG)

I told Kristina.

Uh-huh.

And she...

I told you not
to tell her.

I know you told me
not to tell her,
but I told her.

What did I say? I knew
this would be the outcome.

Kristina overreacted,
and now I gotta deal with it.

By firing Rachel?
I don't have a choice.

Someone who's competent and
hardworking and affordable?

I know all this.
I know this.

So she gets hurt.
I mean, you had to have
played some role in this.

What the hell is that
supposed to mean?

I'm saying you must have
flirted with her a little bit.
I didn't do anything.

I was not flirting with her.
Don't say that I was, okay,

'cause Kristina will
go off the deep end.

Well, I find it very hard to
believe that a hot young girl
just attacked an old dude.

I'm sorry,
Old dude?

I find that very difficult...
You know what,

Yes, you're an old dude
compared to her.
here's what happened.

We had a heart-to-heart,
I expressed to her that I felt

she didn't need to trade
on her looks so much,

that she's a smart girl,
she doesn't need to dress
like that all the time.

Well, Adam.
That's all I said.

You told her she was
beautiful on the inside.

Are you kidding me?
What young girl's not
gonna respond to that?

Oh, so it's my fault?

I'm just saying you
started it, so you can't
now fire her for something...

I don't want to fire her.
I have to fire her.

I'm just trying to keep
the peace at home.

(SlNGlNG CONTlNUES)

Well, it doesn't seem
right that to clean up

your side of the street
you've got to dump
all over hers.

I just don't feel
like that's right.

Can you just help me out?
Can you get behind this?

Can you support me in this?

Yes, as long as you admit
that you were wrong.

Why is this so important...

(CONTlNUES SlNGlNG)

Because I want you to
acknowledge that you did
something wrong for once.

And now this girl has
to be fired about it.

Maybe my wife overreacted,
but I didn't do
anything wrong.

Okay.

That was really good,
Landon.

That was really cool.
Thank you.

(UKULELE STRUMMlNG)

(DOOR CHlME RlNGlNG)

Hey, uh, are you Troy?

I'm Troy. Can I help you?

Uh, yeah, l'm Joel Graham.

I'm Julia's husband.

Uh, Julia Graham.
I'm sorry.

My wife works at
the law firm with Zoe.

We're adopting your...

I know exactly who you are.

Oh, good.
I wanted to apologize

for standing you up
the other day as well.

I'm sorry. Troy.
(CHUCKLES)

Nice to meet you.
Yeah.

No, she talks about
you all the time.

Yeah, we think
the world of her.

So anyway, I know it's kind
of an awkward thing,

but I just wanted to kind
of get things out in the open

ifyou have any
questions or whatnot.

You know, we just
wanted to make sure that

you guys are as comfortable
as possible with us.

You know.

You really want
this baby bad, huh?

Uh...

You know, I have six
brothers and sisters.

Six of them. You can
have any one you want.

(CHUCKLES) Okay.

Wow, that is generous.

Uh, hey, would you, um...

Would you have dinner with us?

You and Zoe?

Who's cooking?

I am.
(SCOFFS)

She's got you wanting
a baby and cooking?

Don't give Zoe any ideas.

How's Saturday?

I like steak.

Steak it is.

Okay. Hey, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.

We'll see you Saturday.
See you.

(ENGlNE SPUTTERlNG)

(HORNS HONKlNG)

No, no, no, no.

(ENGlNE SPUTTERlNG)

No. Oh, my God.
(HORNS HONKlNG)

MAN: Come on, move it, lady!

This is great. Yeah, okay.
Maybe you could just go
around me, ass-head!

This is ridiculous.

BlKER: Nice car.
Yes. How are you?

Excuse me. I'm sorry!
I don't know... Ooh!

Oh, God, what is this?

Argh!

I'm sorry. I don't
know what to do.

I'm sorry. Funny.
Very funny. Yeah.

Glad you're having fun.

(COUGHlNG)
(HONKlNG CONTlNUES)

Do I push it?

Go back!
WOMAN: You're blocking
the intersection!

I'm trying to fix it!

Sorry. I don't...

(HORNS BLARlNG)

Listen, you know
families come in all
kinds of combinations.

Jabbar, you know, some kids
have parents who are the same
color like Sydney and Max.

And some parents have
different colors,
like you guys.

Yeah, yeah.
You know, more flavor.

Right. (LAUGHS)

And you know some kids who
have one mommy and one daddy,

and some who have two
mommies or two daddies.

Like Jensen?

Right. Just like Jensen.

Jensen is? Oh.
Yeah. Yeah.

But what we're talking
about now is that
some families

have moms and dads
that are married and live
under the same roof...

CROSBY: And some kids have
parents who aren't married and
live under different roofs.

JASMlNE: Mmm-hmm.

But, you know, that
doesn't mean they can't be as
happy as the other families.

Well, you know Mom and
I have decided to
not live together,

and be friends, right?

So that also means that
there won't be a wedding
like we planned.

But you said you were
gonna get married

and I was gonna wear a suit
and be in the wedding and
I would get to hold the ring.

Yeah, well, you're right.
We did tell you that.

And we're really sorry.

We're really sorry.
We shouldn't have told
you those things

until we were 150%&% sure.

So you're never, ever
gonna get married?

No.
No.

No.

Are you sure?

Yeah.
Yeah.

I wish we were
under-the-same-roof family.

(CLASSlCAL PlANO PLAYlNG)

ADAM: Rachel.
(PLAYlNG STOPS)

Hi. Sorry.
Hi.

Um...

I couldn't resist.
Rachel, what happened
the other night

was totally inappropriate,

and I can't let
that happen again.

I like you, you do
a great job here,

but l'm gonna have to...

Let you know that
I will not hesitate

to let you go
if anything like
that happens again.

Okay.

Thank you.

(SlGHS)

So I think that the
Galapagos giant tortoise
in some ways is like Dad.

That's why.
HADDlE: lnteresting.

Oh! So interesting.
MAX: I am going to
go get dessert.

Hey, don't make
fun of your brother.

Hey, if you're gonna
get a popsicle, please
use a napkin, Max.

I will use a napkin.
Hey, can you look in on
Nora for us, please, Haddie?

HADDlE: You got it, Daddy.

(ADAM SlGHS)

Honey, that was
delicious. Thank you.

I'm gonna clear these plates.

How was work today?

Uh...

It was good, you know.

Crosby found this great
sandwich shop around the
corner, make their own bread.

It's real good.

Anyone kiss anyone?

(ADAM SlGHS)

Yeah. Yeah, we all
kissed each other.

So, how'd she take it?

You know...

Way those things go.
Was she upset?

Yeah. She was upset.

Hey, Grandma.

Hey, you know,
your mom's not here.
She's working tonight.

Yes, I know. Um...

I'm actually here to see you.

Uh-oh.

I'm not sure that
sounds so good.

Hey!
What's up?

What, a girl can't come visit
her grandma for a fun...

What's up?

I need help.

Um, this is terribly
embarrassing.

I feel ashamed
to have to ask,

and just know that
I would only ask if l
really, really needed it.

Um, l'm having a bit
of money trouble.

I just can't make
it all add up.

And...
How much?

Well, the sort of
emergency number
is about $1$0.

But I could...
How much do
you really need?

It's a big number.

It's about $$00.

I know. It's a lot.

I don't even know
where it's going.

You know, gas money,
and nobody tips anymore.

And food and rent,
and l'm just trying
to make it.

I'm doing everything that
I can, but it's not quite

balanced yet.

And I promise you
I will pay you back.
I promise.

I'm stuck, though.

Well, you know, l've been
in this situation myself more
than a couple of times, so...

Tell you what l'm gonna do.

I'm gonna lend
you the $$00, okay,

but it's a one-time thing.
Yes.

I know that you're
working very hard,
Of course.

but, it's not cutting it.

So obviously you're
going to have to figure
something else out.

Yeah.

And you're a smart girl.

You will.

Thank you so much.

No. Hey, no, no, no.

What?
What are you doing?

Here. Give me those.
Give me those.
What? What?

What am I doing?
Going in the wrong place.

I invite you here for
screw sorting, and you screw
it all up. I mean, come on.

I'm trying to do it right.

Just leave it alone,
leave it alone.
I didn't know they were...

It's not rocket science
here, Crosby.

What's wrong?
What's going on here?

Where are you at?
I think...
I was just thinking

about something else.
What are you thinking about?

Um...

Something at home.

Like what?

Well, Jabbar asked
Jasmine and I when we
were getting married,

the other day, and he
was really confused.

So we sat him down and
explained to him that
we weren't getting married,

and, um, he was just
really disappointed and...

(SlGHS)

I don't know. I think l...

It was kind of the first time
it hit me that, you know,
when I cheated on Jasmine,

it wasn't that
just I lost her,

you know, I ruined his chance
at having a real family.

And the fact that
he can't have that
because of me, it's...

I just feel like
a crummy dad.

That's what I was
thinking about.
No, you don't say that, son.

Don't say that.

I mean, you're...

You are a great father.

I mean, my gosh,
look what you've...

Look what you've done
with that little guy.

I mean, Jabbar, Crosby,
he looks up to you.

I mean, he worships
the ground you walk on.

I watch him.

Jiminy Christmas,
you're his hero.

You know? He loves you.

You're the man in his life.

That's a gift to Jabbar.

And he loves you.

So don't say
you're a bad father.

You're doing just fine, son.

Giggle, giggle, giggle!
(COOlNG)

(BLOWlNG BUBBLES)

(COOlNG)

Daddy said you were laughing,
but I didn't believe him.

And you giggle, giggle,
giggle, giggle.

You're cracking up.
Let's call Daddy
at work, okay?

You want to? Mmm-hmm?

Let's call Dada.
Let's call Dada.

Dada's so busy,
busy, busy, busy.

(GASPS)

(PHONE RlNGlNG)
You want to giggle for Dada?

You want to giggle for Dada?

Hello, the Luncheonette,
this is Rachel.

Hello?

Hello.

(PHONE DlSCONNECTS)

She read Underpants and...
Captain Underpants.

Captain Underpants
and sang one song.

Oh, really?
She read you
Captain Underpants?

(JASMlNE LAUGHS)
JABBAR: Yep.

Wow, you got a pretty
good mom there.

JABBAR: Thanks.
Well, how about this?

How about we sing a song
together and then
you go to bed?

What are you gonna sing?

CROSBY: Well,
I want you to pick.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat?

CROSBY: Uh, yeah,
that sounds good to me.

I like when we all used
to sing that in the car.

Hold on one second.
Are you guys snuggling?

JASMlNE: Uh, yeah.

I'm pretty jealous.
Of course. (LAUGHS)

Okay, you ready? Okay.
Yeah.

Good, you go first and then
your dad and then me.

Okay.
One, two, three.

Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the stream
Row, row, row your boat

(SlNGlNG OVER EACH OTHER)

(BOTH LAUGHlNG)

JASMlNE: Did you say ''doily''?
Up and down the streams

Merrily, merrily,
merrily, merrily

Iet's eat Krispy Kremes

CROSBY: I love you, nerd.

JABBAR: I love you too.

Okay, good night.
(KlSSlNG SOUND)

JABBAR: Night, Daddy.

AMBER: Oy! I can't believe
we're doing this.

SARAH: What do you mean
you can't believe it?

SARAH: The expense tracker.
It's exactly what you need.

AMBER: I can't believe
Grandma told you about this.

This is, like, exactly
what I was trying to avoid.

I don't want to
do some weird online
schemes that you do.

Schemes? This is Suze Orman.
Like, I don't even know...

I think it's ''Suze'', right?

No, no, it's Suze.
She doesn't need the ''l''.

That's how she saves money.

Okay. That's enough.

Okay, look...
Just get down to business.

Here's a list of expenses...

Lunch fees, school uniforms...

Sport team uniforms...
You don't have that.

All right, here we go.
Take-home pay.

What is it?
I don't know. It's...

Okay. Unemployment,
Social Security,

dividends, pensions,
retirement plan...

Oh, no.
Rental. What is your rent?

Oh, God, I don't know.
I don't know.

I don't know.
Mom, Mom, Mom, stop.
I don't want to do this.

This is not working.
I don't know any of this.

This is for people that,
like, have a plan,

and they know what is going
on with their lives and
they do other things.

I just come here
and work every day

as hard as I can,
and l'm like...

Still don't have enough
money to do anything.

And, you know, I don't have,
like, a goal or a plan

or anything that l'm,
like, working towards.

So, I don't know how
this is gonna get better.

Well, let's find you a goal.

And make a plan.

We'll think of something.
(SlGHS)

Look at you.
You're doing so good.

Look at this. The Piping Cup?

You kidding me?
People would
kill for this job.

Yeah, thank you.
You're like the
Queen of Coffee.

Mmm-hmm. Right. Appreciate it.

We'll figure something out.

ZOE: We have, like,
every Brazilian known
to man in there.

(JULlA LAUGHS)
And they're, like,
running through the hall...

Hey, babe, remember
when Brazil scored that
goal and there were, like,

all the crazy Brazilians
running through the
hallways and they're...

(lMlTATlNG SHOUTS)

Do you remember that?
TROY: How could you forget?

That was a good game.

That was a good game.
That was a good game.

Yeah, we DVR'd it.
We did. We did.

JULlA: We maybe should
have watched it live.

JOEL: Yep. I think it was
on at, like, 3:00 a.m. here.

JULlA: Thank you so much.
Um...

Julia coaches her
daughter's soccer team.

Nice.
I mean, they're seven, so...

It's kind of, um...
It's controlled chaos.

I try to instill in them
the love of the game.

(LAUGHS)

You know, um, Troy's
an Oakland native.

Oh, yeah?

Not this (CLEARS THROAT)
particular neighborhood,
but not far.

JOEL: Yeah, we're kind of
out in the boonies here.

Yeah, I wouldn't
call this the boonies.

It's a little off the
beaten path, I guess.

This steak is
really good. Mmm.
It's really good.

JOEL: Thanks.

Zoe is psyched you
guys want the baby.

TROY: She speaks very
highly of the both ofyou,

and I can see why
she signed those
papers so quickly.

Oh, thank you.
Thanks, man.

I guess we just felt maybe
it was a bit too quick.

Mmm-hmm?

We'd like to change
some of the terms.
(LAUGHS)

No. We don't want to
change any of the terms.

We just... Well,
Troy looked into it,
Mmm-hmm.

and we just have
a few questions.
JOEL: Okay.

You've been covering
her medical expenses.

And that's been amazing,
it's been really helpful.
Right.

Yeah.
But Zoe's gonna
be carrying

around this baby
for nine months.
JULlA: Mmm-hmm.

I mean, that's almost
a year out of her...
Out of our lives.

Okay.
She's gonna go through
the trauma of delivering it.

Right.
I don't know if we've
really fully expressed

how grateful we are for this.

You know, it's the
most incredible gift

that anyone could
ever give us,

and we really consider
that we're so lucky.
JOEL: Mmm-hmm.

And we're so happy.

We're so super
psyched to be...
What l'm getting at is

people pay a lot of money
for a baby these days.

A girl Zoe's age can
get up to 30k
just for an egg.

Um...

Troy, if you're asking
for what I think
you're asking, um...

I have to tell you that,
in the state of California,

it's illegal to pay
a biological parent
for their child.

Aren't you a lawyer?

Yes.
Right, so they pay you
to work around the laws, no?

No.

Troy, my wife's
job is actually to
uphold the law.

Do you understand? It's to
make sure that people
aren't treated unfairly.

So, when you come into our
house and you try to coerce
us into an illegal...

We're not trying to coerce...
Let me just say, this is

such a misunderstanding.
That's not what we're doing.
We would never do that.

I just... It feels to me
like it's a little one-sided.

TROY: You guys have laid
out your terms, you're
getting everything you want.

You're doing pretty
well for yourselves.

I think it's only fair
Zoe and I get to say
what we feel works for us.

Okay, fine.

Oh, Troy, come on.
Sit down.

They made dinner.
Can we sit and
talk about this?

Thank you for the steak.
It was great.

ZOE: Troy, just sit
down. Come on.

JULlA: I think we should
talk about it.
We're going.

Thank you for having us,
and you know
where to find us.

I'm sorry.

(DOOR CLOSlNG)

(DOOR OPENlNG)

ADAM: Hey.

(DOOR CLOSlNG)

All the kids asleep?

Yup.
All right.

How was your day?
It was okay.

How are you doing?
I'm good.

Just a little tired.

You have a good day?
You all right?

Mmm-hmm.

Hey, I want to talk...
I actually called
the studio today.

You weren't there,
so, um, Rachel answered.
Right.

I'm really hoping, Adam,
that you have a
great explanation...

It's a complicated situation.
'Cause l'm trying

so desperately to give you
the benefit of the doubt
on this, I really am.

I've been thinking
about it all day.
Can you just let me explain?

Try to explain. I just, l
would really love to hear what
you have to say right now.

All right, I talked
to Crosby about it.

Uh-huh.
And after thinking about...

Crosby? Why does Crosby
have to know any of this?

Can you just stay here...
Just don't touch me
for a second, please.

Just don't.
All right.

I want to hear what
you have to say.

But l'm so sick to my stomach
right now because you lied.
Kristina...

You lied to me.
I went out of my way to
tell you about this.

Adam, why did you
tell me about it?
Can you just listen to me?

Wait a second, why did
you tell me about it?

Listen to me, I went to
the studio because Crosby said

that something was urgent,
I got there, he just
wanted to celebrate

finishing Arty Party
and booking the
studio for a month.

That's all it was.
Oh, good. You guys
were celebrating.

He broke out some tequila...

You were drinking together?
I had one drink.

Crosby and Rachel
had too much to drink.

I wasn't drunk.
I didn't kiss her.

She kissed me.
Did you stop the kiss?

Yes.

How? How did you do that?
What did you do?

You drove her home...
Go ahead, I want
to hear this.

It was raining.
Okay.

(SlGHS)

You know, Kristina,
this is a difficult thing
for me to explain, okay?

Really?
Yeah, it is. It's very
difficult. It was raining...

It's a really difficult
thing for me...

I had had a conversation with
her about the way she dressed,

that she didn't have
to dress so provocatively.

Do you like the way
that she dresses, Adam?

Is that what this is about?

Please don't put
words in my mouth, Kristina.
No, l'm not.

Why are you keeping her there?
It doesn't make any
sense to me. I'm just...

I don't understand it.

I tried to fire her,
okay? I couldn't...

Just let me finish,
all right?

I'm listening.
They were drinking, okay?

I didn't want another
Gaby situation on my hand.

It was raining outside.
I wanted to take...

I thought the right thing
to do was to take
the young girl home.

She was drunk.
Did you get
out of the car?

Yes, I did. I got
out of the car, I walked
her to her door...

You walked her to her door?

She's 26 years old.
It was raining.

It doesn't matter
if it's raining.

What, is she gonna slip?
She lives in a
dodgy neighborhood.

I was trying to do
the right thing.
This is ridiculous.

Kristina, I didn't
do anything.
You kissed another woman.

We've been married for 17...
I didn't kiss another woman.

She kissed me, Kristina.
Listen to me.

Okay?

She kissed me, okay?

I stopped the kiss.
I came home.

Kristina...
Are you attracted to her?

No, I am not attracted to her.

Adam, tell me the truth.
Are you attracted to her?

What do you want me
to say, Kristina?
She's an attractive girl.

Yes, I find her attractive.
I don't want a
relationship with her.

I didn't pursue her.
I didn't kiss her.
I didn't do anything.

(SOBBlNG)

Are you attracted to me?

Yes, Kristina, of course
l'm attracted to you.
No, just, just...

Don't touch me.
Please don't touch me.

I can't. This is how we
become one of the 80%&%.

No, how we become
one of the 80%&% is by not...

I don't want you to touch
me right now!
Kristina.

Okay?

You're making this
really difficult.
I'm not, Adam.

You're overreacting.
Any other woman would say
the same thing right now.

Kristina, she kissed me.
I told you about it.

You asked me to fire her,
I tried to fire her,

I couldn't go through with it,
I felt like her
feelings were hurt...

Her feelings were hurt?

Oh, God, l'm so happy
that you care so much
about her feelings.

Kristina, can you
stay in the room?
I'm done.

I've done everything
for you every single time
you need support,

emotionally, anything.
Can you stay in the room,
please, so we can talk?

I'm home every single day
making the kids' calendars...

I know.
Doing the cleaning,
the cooking, everything.

I'm Mrs. Braverman.
I have my husband's
back always.

Not anymore.

Kristina.
I'm done.

ZOE: Hey.
Hi.

Um, just saying goodnight.

ZOE: l'm leaving, so...
Oh.

Well, goodnight.

Okay, so you
hate me now, right?

You hate me.
No. I don't hate you.

Do you hate Troy?

No, I just didn't
get the chance to
know him very well.

Yeah.

You know,
he's such a good guy.

ZOE: He's a really good guy.

And he's just
looking out for me.

Look, I don't
know what to do.

Well, I can't give you
money for the baby, Zoe.

Goodnight.

Yeah, goodnight.

He left Cinnamon at my house.

I know sometimes
he has a hard time
sleeping without him, so...

Thank you. You didn't
have to do that.

Can I give it to him?

Oh, he's at my Mom's
house tonight 'cause l
had a late class, so...

Oh.

Well, the truth is,
I think he sleeps fine
without Cinnamon.

I just wanted to see him.

So you can give it to him.
Hmm.

Oh.

Did we mess up?

(CHUCKLES)

I'm worried that we,
like, ruined him.

Yeah, I think we messed up.

But I think we're gonna
mess up, like 1,000 more
times before he's 18.

I don't think you should get
too spun out about this one.

Okay.
And my dad,

happened to tell me
that he thinks we're
incredible parents.

What?
Yeah.

Really?
And you know what
a tough judge he is. Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.
I feel a little better now.

You know, l, um,
opened up that bottle
of Cab that you like.

You want to join
me for a drink?

Yeah, I want to join
you for a drink.

Oh?
It's free, right?

It's actually $5 a glass.

Totally worth it.
I'll pay.
I'll waive it.

I'll pay $10.

(DOOR SHUTTlNG)
KRlSTlNA: You're so,
so excited.

You're so excited.

Hey.
(BABY LAUGHlNG)

Hey, can we talk?
I've decided to
go back to work.

Kristina...
I've been thinking about our
conversation the other day,

and l'm always willing to
do what's best for you,

and what's best
for the family,

and l've decided to
do what's best for me.

And I don't want to have
a conversation about it.

Not right now.

KRlSTlNA: Who's
the biggest girl?

Who's Mommy's big girl?

(ROMANTlC MUSlC PLAYlNG)

Mmm. That's lovely.
What are you doing?

Makes me want to
hear a little Kenneth G.

A little Ken G.
Kenny G?

A little Ken G.

(JASMlNE LAUGHlNG)

I propose a toast to
subpar parenting skills.

Okay. Cheers.
(LAUGHS)

Mmm!

To Dr. Joe.

To Dr. Joe.

(LAUGHlNG)

Why Dr. Joe?

This make me
feel like Dr. Joe.

Like this is something
he would be...

Listen to adult
contemporary music.

He doesn't do that.

Does he listen to
adult contemporary?

Not all the time.

(SNlCKERS) Does he
listen to it...
No, he doesn't do that.

All right, all right. Okay.
He doesn't do that.

Mmm.

To Tuf.

Oh, Tuf. Here we go, Tuf.
Well...

Mmm.

Tuf.

I think the last
time I saw her was
when you saw her.

Oh, that's tough.

Ah, hee hee!
Ha ha!

Oh, that's right.
You're funny.

I forgot.
Yeah, I can be.

I remember now.
Sometimes.

I think you should go.
