Also, Kristina offers Amber a new opportunity, and Crosby and Jasmine struggle to deal with their complicated relationship. Meanwhile, Julia tries to keep her distance from Zoe; Sarah and Mark think deeper into their future.
Ifyou still
want to have my baby,
you can have it.
TROY: People pay a lot of
money for a baby these days.
I can`t give you money
for the baby, Zoe.
I need help.
I know that you`re working
very hard,
but you`re gonna have to
figure something else out.
ADAM: 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.
Hey, can we talk?
I`ve decided to go
back to work.
I understand where
you`re coming from,
but l`m not going anywhere.
I really like Jasmine,
and Jabbar.
This is for real.
I think you should go.
Oh.
Crosby. Crosby. Crosby!
Get up! Get up! Come on!
You gotta go!
What is it?
You gotta go now. Get up now!
What`s happening?
You gotta go.
Oh, boy, this happened.
My mother is dropping
Jabbar off at 7::30.
Okay, can you...
That means you`ve got seven
minutes to get up
and get out of bed.
Come on, she hasn`t been late
for anything in her life.
Do you wanna talk about...
Obviously we`ll talk about it.
We can`t talk about it right
now, we got no time. Get up!
Okay, okay. I`m going.
I`m going.
Oh, man.
Are you...
Is everything okay?
No, everything`s not okay.
Okay, l`m coming.
Hold on. Oh, boy.
Come on!
I`m coming. I`m coming,
l`m coming, coming. Fine.
All right.
Go. Go. Go.
Okay. Jasmine...
Yeah, I know. I know. We`ll
talk. We`ll talk later, okay.
All right, all right.
(MOUTHlNG)
(SlGHS)
Hey. I was just coming
over to see if
you needed anything...
But you`re all set.
Peet`s.
Yup.
They`re good.
I thought it might be easier
if we gave each other some
space for a little while.
Yeah. I get that.
Great.
And I totally understand if,
ifyou and Joel need time
to think about it.
And I get it.
So I understand.
No problem.
Zoe.
There`s nothing
for us to think about.
What you`re asking
is not gonna happen.
We don`t need time to
think about it. We need
time to get over it.
Would you just shut
the door behind you?
Oh.
Okay.
Okay.
So, what`s going on
with Jasmine and
Dr. Prestige?
We`ll get to that.
But what`s with
the frostiness going on
between you
and the old lady?
Uh-oh.
Hey!
Oh, yeah. Twenty below.
Hey, ladies.
Hey. Let`s be subtle.
Hi, gals.
What`s more appealing
than this?
No one!
Nobody.
That`s driving
the wrong message.
What?
It`s not a big deal at all.
I`m just...
Come on.
Uh...
Amber needs a job.
She needs some work.
I`m sorry.
Do you guys have anything at
the studio that she could do?
She`s needing some money.
Boy, would that`ve been nice.
I love music.
She`s so very musical...
Can you blame me?
...your assistant...
We already have a...
We already have an assistant.
...someone working already.
SARAH: You guys
have an assistant?
I mean, we would love
to have you, but it`s
kind of a money...
Your dad wants to give
a speech here.
Oh, okay.
KRlSTlNA: He`s very excited.
JOEL: So, it`s gonna be...
Be right there, Pop.
What are you talking about?
Amber`s looking...
Amber`s looking for work
but we, you know...
Oh, okay.
If you had an assistant...
Well, we already
have an assistant.
Yeah, you guys have
a great assistant.
Actually, l`m working
on a campaign and maybe
I can get you on board.
I don`t know if there`s
any openings...
Bobby Little, he`s
running for city council.
Oh, that`d be amazing.
This guy used to be
her intern.
We called him
Little Bobby Little.
You called him
Little Bobby Little.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
SARAH: I think you would
be great at that.
KRlSTlNA: So, it could
be great. I mean...
Come! Come on!
We`re ready.
Yeah.
I just wanna say
a few words. No big deal.
I think that would be great.
What are you doing?
`Cause I can`t hire her,
now you`re gonna hire her?
No, you have an assistant.
...not the kind
of job she`s...
If you would`ve fired Rachel,
you`d have a spot up there.
But you didn`t,
so l`m gonna try.
Adam?
Yeah, sorry, sorry, Pop.
Hey, where`s Mom?
Yeah, where`s Grandma?
You know, at my age,
you start thinking,
well, there just
couldn`t be any more
surprises but, uh...
SARAH: Dad...
Well, no.
The break is on. This is it.
Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!
WOMAN ON TV: Are you worried
about a storm?
ZEEK: Nope. Looks like
clear skies ahead.
CROSBY: Oh, my God!
AMBER: Kristina!
Yeah, it`s me...
I`ve got a lot of life
to live and...
CROSBY: Look at where
her hand is!
...with Virilia`s help,
by golly, I`m living it.
(ALL CLAMORlNG)
CROSBY: Holy!
ADAM: Dad`s not
afraid of no storm!
I need you to take Max
to school in the morning.
I have to stop by the office.
Okay.
I thought you didn`t
start work until Monday.
I don`t. But Bob wants me
to meet the team. So...
Right.
How long are you
gonna be mad at me?
I don`t know.
(SlGHS)
Hey, you know we would
totally hire Amber if
we had the money.
I would love to
have her working here.
Oh, yeah.
I think it`d be really fun,
but it`s...
Don`t you think it`d be
so great with her music
and everything?
No, it would. It`d be great.
But she needs money
and we are not in a position
to really pay her.
I don`t know how much
money she`s gonna make
on a campaign, but...
Well, maybe it`ll lead
to something.
Yeah. That`s...
I think it was cool, though,
of Kristina to offer. Right?
I thought it was cool, too.
Yeah. So, speaking of Amber...
Trying to get a job...
I slept with Jasmine
the other day.
(CHOKES)
Oops. And I was hoping
that maybe you`ve done
the same thing with Seth
and could advise me
on said situation.
Has that ever happened?
That`s a yes? Good.
So this is something
that happens.
That people do this.
It`s the mother ofyour child,
you know? It`s a pretty
special connection.
Yeah. Yeah, it`s complicated,
you know?
We were telling Jabbar
that we weren`t getting
married and it was kinda sad.
We were... We were both
sad and then we started
drinking wine, and...
And then, uh, you know...
Yeah, I know.
I haven`t talked to her.
I don`t know really what
l`m supposed to say to her.
You think this is gonna
make everything different?
It depends on whether
or not you want
everything to be different.
Mmm-hmm.
What if I don`t know?
BOB: So, you did the
Embarcadero yesterday?
You`re on the Esplanade today.
You called the representative
and the reporter
to make sure
that he`s on board?
Terrific, all right, great.
Kristina!
Hi! Hey!
Thank God you`re here.
How are you?
You ready to hit
the ground running?
So good to see you!
Yeah, good to see you.
Wow, you look great.
Thank you, thank you,
thank you.
All grown up and...
Donna, can you send Kristina
my calendar?
Get her set up with everything
that she needs.
And get her directions to
the SElU meeting tomorrow.
Yes. Anything you need.
I`m Kristina.
Hi, Donna.
The meeting`s here.
And the notes for the
meeting are on your desk.
What meeting?
There`s a meeting here
tomorrow?
Yes. Oh, crap.
Okay.
Did you not get a call?
I didn`t get a call.
I`m sorry. Is this a problem?
I`m actually taking my son
to the dinosaur exhibit.
Tomorrow`s Saturday,
so I thought I would be off.
I am so sorry.
That`s okay.
Donna, will you please
go yell at someone?
I`m probably gonna
take him in the morning.
Don`t worry.
I`m so sorry. We`re still
trying to work out the kinks.
Listen. Heads are gonna
roll for this.
Don`t make any heads roll.
I promise you.
It`s fine.
But please tell me you can
make this meeting tomorrow.
I don`t have to tell you
what an endorsement
from the SElU
would mean to us.
I know.
I will be here.
I need you on this.
I`m here for you, okay?
I need you.
Okay, good. Good,
come on, let`s do this!
We`re gonna win this!
Come on, Donna!
Yeah.
Donna, get her the info.
Kristina, let`s go!
Come on, let`s go. Up here.
There`s... Okay. Winner.
Yes, ma`am.
I`m coming.
(KNOCKlNG AT DOOR)
Hi.
Hey.
I think I need to quit.
Why is that?
Have you broken something?
No. I really hoped that
everything would blow over.
But it`s not at all.
I feel like I just
ruined everything over
one drunk mistake.
So, you wanna throw
it all away over
one drunk mistake?
Yeah.
I mean...
I don`t know what other
choice I have.
I think life might go on.
You`re not quitting.
Really?
Yes, really.
It`s gonna blow over.
You just have to give
it a little time.
And between you and me,
it`s not even about Adam.
It`s stuff he`s dealing with
at home with his wife.
His wife knows?
Yes, his wife knows.
Oh, my God.
Despite my advice
not to tell her.
She must hate me.
Yeah.
She probably does. But hey,
she hated me two months ago.
I mean, she really
wanted to kill me.
And now she seems to like me.
Really?
Yeah.
How`d you get her
to forgive you?
I delivered her baby.
Oh.
That might not be
an option for you.
So, you might have to think
of something different.
I feel so stupid.
Hey, it`s okay.
You don`t need to feel stupid.
You`re a good person.
You screwed up. You made
a mistake. You`re human.
That`s what we do.
Okay, thank you.
You`re welcome.
Now, go work, yeah?
Yeah. Okay.
Chop, chop.
Okay.
Hey.
Hi, kiddo.
How`s it going?
Good. Working hard?
Oh, yeah.
It`s freezing out there.
Yeah, it`s crazy, I know.
What`s for special today?
Oh, we have, uh...
Fighting a little
bit of a cold.
Some lovely coffee
or lovely tea.
Tea? Okay.
Yeah. Those are sort of
our specialties here.
All right.
How`s it going?
Very good, very great.
Everything`s awesome.
Did you come here
to break the news
gently to me?
No job, stuck here forever?
Actually, it`s the
complete opposite.
Um, l`m coming to tell
you that there is one
job available.
I`ll take it!
Really?
You don`t know what it is.
I don`t care.
Right.
I just gotta get out of here.
How would you like
to be my assistant?
They gave me a budget
for an assistant and
I immediately thought of you.
I want you to work with me.
Oh, my gosh. Wow.
It`s a lot of work, Amber.
I`m not gonna lie.
I mean, you have to be up
with me in the mornings
very early, sometimes.
You`re not gonna sleep a lot.
You`re gonna be
running errands non-stop,
you`re gonna be sitting
in on meetings,
writing copy for the press.
I know, it sounds intense,
because it is.
But I just think that this
could be so great for you.
I know you can do this.
Wow. It sounds great. I`m...
Yeah? But...
I`m... I`m scared,
I mean...
Let`s be honest,
I don`t have the best
track record
when it comes to family
business and I don`t
wanna let you down.
Amber, stop. Stop.
You`re not gonna
let me down, okay?
I think that you`re smart.
I think that you`re
resourceful...
I think that you have
this amazing ability
to talk to anybody.
You`re like a diamond in the
rough. I think you need
to give yourself more credit.
Honey, the way that
you were with Max,
l`ll never forget that.
So, what do you say?
Yes.
Yes? So, 9:00 a.m.
Monday morning.
I`ll be there.
Okay.
Gotcha.
Hey, um... Thank you.
You`re welcome.
Bye!
Work hard!
Max, honey, l`m so bummed
that I won`t be able to see
the dinosaurs tomorrow
with you, and l`m so sorry.
Well, there`re no
actual dinosaurs.
They`re extinct.
Right, I know. I know.
They just have the bones.
That`s very true, very true.
Are you upset
that l`m not going?
Well, no, `cause
Dad can take me.
I`m super excited...
You guys are gonna
have so much fun.
Yes, we are.
I`m so excited for you.
I heard it`s amazing.
Yes, it`s gonna be cool.
Dad!
Yeah, hey!
Okay, so the museum says
to expect crowds.
And you know, delays in line.
So what we should do is
we should get there early.
Probably before it opens...
I got Chinese food because
I was at the office late.
Just give me one second, Max.
That`s okay, I love Chinese.
Thank you.
I know. You`re welcome.
Let me take all that out.
I got it. I got some Mu Shu
chicken and some...
Max, just let me talk to your
mom for one second.
Honey, I have to go
into work tomorrow.
There`s some people who want
to check out the studio.
They can only
come in tomorrow.
So, I can`t take you
to the museum.
No, you can`t work tomorrow.
`Cause tomorrow is Saturday.
And I know that I said I was
gonna go, but I can`t make it.
No, Dad. We`re going
to the museum tomorrow.
Okay, Max. Listen to Mom.
I need you to calm down and
take a deep breath, okay?
I... No, we`re...
Max...
Sometimes...
We can`t... We`re gonna
go tomorrow!
Plans change and this
is one of those times and
we`ll work through it, and...
Max, l`m sorry you`re upset.
I wanted to go too.
Why is he so upset?
He never cares
whether I go or not.
It`s not about you, Adam.
Okay? I have to work tomorrow.
Therefore no one can take
him to the museum.
Since when?
That`s what this is about.
This is news to me.
I have a meeting tomorrow.
It was just called.
I can`t control it.
Well, a heads-up
would have been nice.
What, should I have called
your secretary?
Very funny.
Should`ve given her a ring.
I would`ve just appreciated
a heads-up, that`s all.
Oh, okay, next time
I will call her.
Um, don`t worry, I got this.
I`ll figure it out.
Okay.
Yep. Got it.
All right.
Mmm-mmm.
Haddie, come on.
I`m sorry.
Haddie, we wouldn`t be asking
if we weren`t desperate.
I understand, and
l`ve done it so many times,
but I can`t!
All right. I`ve gone through
all the Bravermans.
We need your help.
Your grandmother
and everybody.
And you`re the best
at babysitting Max.
Yeah, I just have
a giant heart.
Why don`t you just think
real hard about something
you`ve always wanted from us
and just shoot for the moon.
What?
Go for it.
Okay, give me a car.
A car? Tell you what,
l`ll meet you half-way.
Ten dollars an hour?
That`s not half-way...
Just stop! Stop, stop, stop!
No money is exchanging
hands right now, okay?
Tomorrow, you`re gonna
watch your brother.
Only your brother.
I`ll make sure
that Nora`s covered.
I`ll also make sure
that he leaves you alone
while you`re studying.
This is not a negotiation,
you got it?
Okay.
Done?
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay! God!
Thank you so much
for doing this.
I really appreciate it.
You`re a lifesaver.
This is so last-minute,
I know.
Are you kidding?
It`s my pleasure.
Everything is in here,
her bottles, her NUK and all
of her play toys are in there.
I can`t nurse her,
technically. She`s still on...
Her diapers and everything...
Breast milk. Yes,
and you don`t have
to worry about that.
I don`t. I can`t provide
that, just so...
I didn`t think so.
Here you go.
Say, ``Hi, Aunt Sarah.``
She`s sleepy, sleepy.
She fell asleep in the car.
She`s so tired.
Look at her.
I know. That`s the
outfit you got her.
Yeah, I like a jean
jacket on a baby.
What can I say?
You have style.
Thank you for taking
care of Amber, she`s so
excited to start Monday.
Oh, my God. Did she tell
you? I`m so excited that
she`s gonna do it.
At first she was like,
``l`m not sure,`` and
she was hesitant, but...
She`s just nervous.
But she`ll be fine.
Yeah.
I believe in her, so...
Well, I don`t want you
to worry.
Mark`s coming over later.
He`ll help out and...
Oh, l`m not worried at all.
...call you if anything...
I`m not, I promise you...
I`m not worried.
I remember the first
day I left Amber.
It`s tough, you know.
So, I don`t want
you to feel...
It`s a little tough.
I mean, I feel
a little guilty, but...
I`m lying, actually.
I am so excited to go to work.
Get out of here.
And be around other
people, other adults, and...
I dressed up. I mean...
You look great!
Thank you.
Live it up! Go!
Thank you, thank you.
Don`t worry.
Thank you for taking
care of my baby.
Thank you for taking
care of my baby.
You`re welcome.
Call me for anything, okay?
I will. Have fun.
Thank you. Thank you.
Say ``Bye`` to Mommy.
Bye. Okay, call me.
Say ``Bye.``
MAX: Haddie!
No.
I figured it out.
No!
Okay. Come on.
No, look. Okay.
Max. What did I tell
you five minutes ago?
So, we take the number 18
bus to Allston.
I`m still studying.
And then walk one half-block
up Shattuck.
Then we take the Downtown
Berkeley BART to the
Embarcadero Station and then,
we transfer to
the municipal thing.
Max, get out of my room.
Yeah, and from there we
just... We just...
I`m sorry.
I need to have
just an hour more.
No, Haddie!
Remember?
What did I tell you?
We`re not going to the museum.
No, no, it`s only 20 minutes.
We`re just hanging out
at home tonight.
No, Haddie. This isn`t fair!
Mom and Dad are the ones
that broke their promise.
So, l`m being...
Why am I being punished?
I`m sorry.
I don`t know.
Why am I being punished?
You`re not being punished.
I am. I`m not getting
to go to the museum.
Max, l`m sorry...
You could easily take me
to the museum.
Mom and Dad are both working.
I have to study!
No, but we can`t.
I`m sorry. I`m in
the middle of something.
This isn`t fair.
Max, you need to get out. You
need to get out of my room.
This isn`t fair.
I`m sorry. It`s not fair
to me either.
Haddie, this isn`t fair.
Bye, bye.
Crazy, crazy. Crazy.
You know, we`ve got most
of them working
on Telegraph Hill
with some of the
student body there.
I can go over that
with you later...
(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG)
Oh. Hold on
one second, Bob.
Um, this is my husband.
I`m gonna take it real quick.
Okay?
Do it.
Thanks. I`ll be right there.
Hey. What`s up?
Kristina? Hi, it`s Rachel.
Am I catching you
at a bad time?
It`s not a great time,
Rachel. What?
I`m sorry to call you on the
weekend. I`m sure you`re
really busy with the kids.
Actually, l`m working.
Is Adam okay?
Does he need something?
What? What`s going on?
No.
I just, l...
I can call you back
when it`s a better time.
Rachel. What is it?
I just wanted to say that l`m
really, really sorry.
And I know that
you`re upset with Adam,
and you really shouldn`t be.
He absolutely
did nothing wrong.
It`s completely my fault.
And I have no excuses
for my bad behavior.
And I am so, so, so sorry.
Okay, I have to go.
Okay.
Good?
Yeah.
Alrighty. Yes...
Remember Sally and Marty?
I do.
Here, baby. Here.
That pacifier is not working.
No, that`s okay.
Hi, baby. What?
There you go...
This doesn`t make it
look good.
Am I terrifying her?
Do that with me.
(NORA CRYlNG)
Oh, sweet honey.
Hi, baby.
Do... Don`t hurt the baby!
Oh! She knows that
I can`t hold a baby.
I got this... See?
What?
(SPEAKlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY)
See? We`re doing all right.
Max. I`m taking a break...
What`s going on?
Max!
Oh, little Maxie!
Max! Max, do you hear me?
I`m calling your name!
Max, what the heck?
Max!
Max! Where are you?
I`d have to ask my brother,
but I think if you guys
are willing to pay the rate,
he could be agreeable to be
available for 2$ hours a day.
Come on in.
I`m sorry to interrupt.
Yeah.
Your daughter`s on the phone.
She says it`s urgent.
Uh, okay. One second, guys.
Haddie? You okay?
I cannot believe this, Haddie.
How could you let this happen?
I said l`m sorry.
How hard is that?
Can you please not yell?
I`m scared. I`m sorry.
I`m not yelling.
Okay, listen. You just gotta
stay at the house
and make sure that
you`re there in case
Max comes home
or calls or anybody
calls, okay?
Okay.
I`m gonna go to the museum.
Okay. The police are here.
Haddie! Wait. Wait, wait!
What?
You gotta let `em know
he`s autistic.
And that he`s gonna behave
erratically.
And that he`s not used to
being alone. You got that?
I know.
Do you hear me?
I know. Okay, I will.
I`ll tell them.
Okay.
Okay. Bye.
Hi.
Call Kristina!
COMPUTER VOlCE:
Calling Crosby.
Call Kristina.
Calling dry cleaner.
Oh, my God! Call Kristina!
You and Mom
have fun last night?
Uh-huh. We watched Nemo.
Ooh, Nemo. That`s a good one.
But Mom didn`t see the end.
She had to go to her room
`cause she got too sad.
Well, it`s kind of
a sad movie.
I guess. I wasn`t supposed to
tell you that she was crying.
Can we get ice cream?
Yeah. Only if you
beat me there first!
Oh, yes. Oh! Ow!
Oh, buddy! Are you okay?
What happened? Your wrist?
Yeah...
Hold on, hold on, hold on a
minute. Just hold it still.
It hurts!
Hey. You hear anything?
No, nothing.
So, you didn`t find him.
No, I went through the entire
museum like, five times.
I talked to every
security guard. Nothing.
Listen, can you think
of anything else that he said?
Is there any other place
that he might be?
Can you think of anything?
Um, no. I don`t...
I mean, I don`t know.
I`m sorry, Dad.
It`s okay. All right?
We`re gonna find him.
I didn`t think that he was
just gonna leave.
Just stay put, all right?
I`ll be home in a little bit.
I love you.
This is officially
the littlest baby
that I have ever held.
This is?
Mmm-hmm.
This one right here.
Wow.
I mean, l`m not that... I`ve
held too many babies. None
of my friends have them yet.
I had two by your age.
That`s true.
Hey, I am falling behind.
Slacking. I`m a late bloomer.
(NORA CRlES)
Oh! I know! I know! Don`t...
That`s my nose.
So, here`s what l`m thinking.
The park, the one with the big
honking slide?
Yeah.
Then, library for story hour.
Park and story hour?
Yeah... It`s on.
Yes! Coming! Who is it?
Hey.
Hi, Zoe.
What`s up, pretty girl?
Give me just a minute, okay?
Okay.
All right.
Hi.
I don`t want her to see you.
It`s, you know,
a little hard to explain.
Well, I just came to tell you
that Troy is not a bad guy.
Zoe...
I haven`t had what you would
call a cushy life, okay?
And Troy just thinks that
this could finally make things
easier for me.
I know it looks like
he`s being a huge jerk,
but it`s just
`cause he really loves me.
You know?
All right.
You... You`ve been
so nice to me.
And you`re this amazing woman
that`s done
all these amazing things.
And l`m just some
pathetic girl that listens to
whatever her boyfriend
tells her to do, right?
No, Zoe. You`re not pathetic.
You`re strong. You`re probably
stronger than you know.
But right now, I have to take
my daughter to the park.
I`m so sorry.
Me too. I would`ve been
a great mother to your baby.
No. We don`t have any idea
where he might be right now.
But if you hear anything, just
please give me a call back.
All right, thank you.
I found, uh,
this picture of Max
in the sweatshirt he was
wearing. Who
are you talking to?
Great. Uh...
The police asked me to call
all of Max`s friends,
and since he doesn`t have any
friends l`m just going down
the list of his class
and calling all those
households. And now l`m
gonna try your mother. Again.
KRlSTlNA: lt`s easy,
if they do this...
BOB: Listen, I say
we`re sending Kristina
to go do all the drinking
with the college students.
I knew you were gonna
say that.
I was gonna say that too.
(BOB AND KRlSTlNA LAUGH)
And it goes straight to
voicemail.
I can`t believe this.
One half-block up Shattuck
to Downtown Berkeley BART.
Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me, sir.
My name is Max Braverman
and l`m looking for the
Downtown Berkeley
BART station.
You got any money?
Hey, hey, hey. Watch it.
Hey, little man.
How you doing?
Hey.
Hey.
It hurts.
I know, but we`re
gonna get you fixed up.
Ah... Sorry about
the wait, man.
I got here as fast as I could.
I was coming down
from the Cal game
and traffic on Embarcadero
was a nightmare.
Did we win?
Uh... We were up 1$-9
when I left.
You left in the middle of a
Cal game to come down here?
That`s, uh,
that`s really nice.
Thank you.
This sure is a beauty.
Dad, it hurts.
I know, but he`s gonna fix it.
Oh, hey, man, take my hand.
It`s okay.
Now give me a squeeze
every time it hurts, okay?
Now, if it hurts really bad,
squeeze really hard,
all right?
Psst!
What kind of ice cream
did you get?
A snow cone.
Nice.
My dad didn`t let me eat it.
He made me put it
on my wrist.
That`s `cause your dad`s
a really smart guy,
because he did
the exact right thing.
Now, I want you to keep ice
on your wrist for the next
2$ hours, okay?
Twenty minutes on,
twenty minutes off.
So it`s...
It`s not broken?
Nah, it`s just a minor sprain.
I am gonna send you guys home
with some real ice packs
so you can save the ice cream
for your tummy.
(GlGGLES)
I know where the ice
packs are. Can I get them?
Yeah, go for it.
Jasmine and Jabbar have spent,
uh, you know, a few
afternoons here.
So, he likes to help me out.
Yeah. He`s a good helper.
Yeah.
I really can`t believe you
left in the middle
of a Cal game.
I mean, that`s...
Do you do that for
all your patients?
Well, I wouldn`t ordinarily
leave a seat on the 50-yard
line in the second quarter.
But he`s worth it.
You know this job
would be perfect...
I cannot do that.
I would get in trouble.
Oh, God...
It`s not happening. Forget it.
Kristina, it`s Adam, again.
I am starting to get worried
about you too.
Could you please
give me a call back?
Thank you. Bye.
Okay. Here`s what we have
so far, Mr. Braverman.
(LAUGHS) We`re all set.
I`m way too old for that.
You know... She`s on it, guys.
Bobby, l`m not doing that.
Make sure she
takes care of that.
You`re on it.
No!
Sorry.
We have a squad car
on the way,
and like I said before...
Excuse me. Hey.
Adam?
He`s all right. A metro cop
found him in Oakland
walking around.
And they`re gonna
bring him home.
Found who?
Max. Look, honey, l`ll explain
everything later. Okay?
Just come home.
(APPROACHlNG SlREN BLARlNG)
Yeah, well my phone was off
for one meeting.
That`s it. I mean,
you could`ve texted me
or tried...
Let`s just try and stay calm
and give him
some space, all right?
It`s all right.
Try not to smother him.
I`m not gonna smother him.
I just want him home.
And l`m just
gonna make sure he`s okay.
ADAM: Hey, look who`s home.
I got to ride in a cop car.
It was pretty fun.
Welcome home to the
adventurer.
I`m gonna go to my room now.
Well, how about we all just
hang out here
and you can tell us
about your adventure.
Are you okay?
No, I gotta feed my lizard.
No, stop.
You wanna tell us about the
ride in the police car?
No, `cause I have to
feed my lizard.
Are you hungry, honey?
Are you serious?
We`re not gonna have a
conversation about this?
Let him feed his lizard.
You two are not gonna talk
to him?
Honey, just let him be.
He`s been through a lot today.
No, that`s not fair.
No, Max, stop.
Max!
Max, do you understand
what happened today?
Well, I wanted to go
to the museum.
Yes, we know. And when you
just wanted to leave and
didn`t say anything,
do you understand that we had
to spend our entire day
worrying about you
and wondering where you are,
and worrying...
Well, I didn`t go to the
museum,
I didn`t get to go to the
museum, after all.
Okay, okay.
Well do you get that?
Do you care?
Max, can you look at your
sister?
Do you care?
No. You don`t care, `cause
you never care. Of course.
Like...
KRlSTlNA: Haddie.
Please.
What? This isn`t fair.
Max, you have to think about
other people.
You only think about
yourself. I mean, what
am I supposed to do?
Everything becomes so hard.
Why? Like,
why don`t you think about
anybody but yourself?
KRlSTlNA: Haddie...
It`s so hard.
It`s not fair!
We try so hard
to make things normal,
and it`s just not!
Is she gonna get in trouble
for yelling?
I`m gonna go feed
Guacamole.
Okay.
Haddie?
I know l`m in trouble.
No. No, you`re not in trouble.
I`m really sorry.
Can you scoot over?
Yeah. I`m sorry. I`m sorry.
I didn`t mean to lose Max,
and I can`t yell at him for
something that`s not
in his control.
What happened today wasn`t
your fault, Haddie.
If anything, your mother
and I should have...
Done a better job
rescheduling for Max.
You were upset, and you`ve got
a right to be upset.
You handle a lot, Haddie.
And you handle it really well.
Sometimes your mother and l
forget how hard it is on you.
It`s okay.
It`s fine.
No, it`s not fine.
I guess it`s not fine,
but it is the way
that it is, right? So...
Yeah.
Well, l`m sorry it`s hard.
I mean, I know
it`s not his fault,
but it just sucks a little.
Man, it does.
Come here.
I`m very proud of you,
you know that?
Hmm?
You okay?
Hey.
We`re gonna figure this out,
okay?
If we`re both gonna
be working, we have to...
We gotta communicate
better and...
We`re a team, right?
Yep.
Okay.
Adam, we almost lost
a kid today. I mean,
how is this gonna...
We did lose a kid today.
We did lose a kid today.
And it was my fault.
Yes, it was.
No, Kristina.
It`s not your fault.
Honey. I had my phone on
silent because I was
mad at you.
It`s my fault, okay?
I`m his mother.
I think you had
a right to be mad.
I said l`d fire her,
and I didn`t.
So, l`m sorry.
I`m sorry.
I`m sorry too.
I don`t like
fighting with you.
Hey.
(SNlFFS)
You`re my best friend.
You`re my best friend.
I love you.
I love you more.
(LAUGHS)
You know, when Jabbar hurt
his wrist yesterday, Dr. Joe
was at a football game.
Like, in the middle of the
game, at the 50-yard line.
And he came to help Jabbar,
which was really nice.
It was super nice and
he treats Jabbar really well.
And l`m guessing that
he treats you the same.
He does.
And you deserve that.
No, I don`t.
Yes, you do.
No, I don`t.
Yeah, you do.
No. How? I`m doing the same
thing you did to me.
I can`t believe l`m about to
put him through that.
Well, then don`t.
Not say anything?
I mean, it`s your decision,
but speaking from experience,
I don`t think you should lose
everything you have
for something that
shouldn`t have happened
in the first place.
There`s always gonna be
a part of me that loves you.
That`s just how it is.
But l`m really sorry
that that part
keeps doing
horrible things to you.
You don`t deserve that.
You deserve better.
(TELEPHONE RlNGlNG)
Hi, the Luncheonette.
This is Rachel.
Hi, Rachel.
It`s Kristina Braverman.
Adam`s wife?
Hi, Mrs. Braverman.
Adam isn`t in.
I know. I`m actually calling
to talk to you.
That thing that
you did with my husband?
Not cool.
Don`t ever do it again.
You got it?
I will not, ever. Ever again.
Good. Then I guess we`re good.
Have a great day, Rachel.
(SlGHS)
(SlGHS)
What are we doing today?
Um...
We could do lots of stuff.
We could sit on the couch
all day.
(SNORTS)
Or we could sit over there
all day.
I`m so tired.
Aw...
It was fun, though.
It was really fun.
I don`t know if I ever showed
you this video.
Oh, my God.
Are you kidding me?
Nora, look at how pretty
you are!
Who`s that?
Do you see right here?
I`m serious. I wasn`tjoking.
Do you see right here?
Who`s that?
CYR: Oh!
SARAH: That`s you.
CYR: She`s concerned.
That`s me,
I`ll cut out
the scary...
I could totally see having a
baby with you.
Um...
I`m sorry. Is that a weird...
I didn`t...
I said that out loud.
I`m really tired,
and l`m not thinking
about what l`m saying.
I`m sorry.
My brain usually filters
that stuff out.
Did that...
Are you freaked out?
On a scale of one to 10,
how badly are you freaked out?
You can be honest.
Two.
Two? Where one is low
and 10 is high?
Regular two?
Two.
(lNAUDlBLE)
I told him I didn`t agree
with him and we got into
a huge fight,
and he told me not to
come home. I had nowhere
else to go.
Oh, Zoe.
(SOBBlNG) I don`t wanna...
I can`t promise you
he`s ever gonna come around.
He was really mad at me.
I don`t think he`s ever gonna
sign those papers.
I don`t know what`s gonna
happen to the baby.
Zoe. Just come in.
(SOBBlNG)
want to have my baby,
you can have it.
TROY: People pay a lot of
money for a baby these days.
I can`t give you money
for the baby, Zoe.
I need help.
I know that you`re working
very hard,
but you`re gonna have to
figure something else out.
ADAM: 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.
Hey, can we talk?
I`ve decided to go
back to work.
I understand where
you`re coming from,
but l`m not going anywhere.
I really like Jasmine,
and Jabbar.
This is for real.
I think you should go.
Oh.
Crosby. Crosby. Crosby!
Get up! Get up! Come on!
You gotta go!
What is it?
You gotta go now. Get up now!
What`s happening?
You gotta go.
Oh, boy, this happened.
My mother is dropping
Jabbar off at 7::30.
Okay, can you...
That means you`ve got seven
minutes to get up
and get out of bed.
Come on, she hasn`t been late
for anything in her life.
Do you wanna talk about...
Obviously we`ll talk about it.
We can`t talk about it right
now, we got no time. Get up!
Okay, okay. I`m going.
I`m going.
Oh, man.
Are you...
Is everything okay?
No, everything`s not okay.
Okay, l`m coming.
Hold on. Oh, boy.
Come on!
I`m coming. I`m coming,
l`m coming, coming. Fine.
All right.
Go. Go. Go.
Okay. Jasmine...
Yeah, I know. I know. We`ll
talk. We`ll talk later, okay.
All right, all right.
(MOUTHlNG)
(SlGHS)
Hey. I was just coming
over to see if
you needed anything...
But you`re all set.
Peet`s.
Yup.
They`re good.
I thought it might be easier
if we gave each other some
space for a little while.
Yeah. I get that.
Great.
And I totally understand if,
ifyou and Joel need time
to think about it.
And I get it.
So I understand.
No problem.
Zoe.
There`s nothing
for us to think about.
What you`re asking
is not gonna happen.
We don`t need time to
think about it. We need
time to get over it.
Would you just shut
the door behind you?
Oh.
Okay.
Okay.
So, what`s going on
with Jasmine and
Dr. Prestige?
We`ll get to that.
But what`s with
the frostiness going on
between you
and the old lady?
Uh-oh.
Hey!
Oh, yeah. Twenty below.
Hey, ladies.
Hey. Let`s be subtle.
Hi, gals.
What`s more appealing
than this?
No one!
Nobody.
That`s driving
the wrong message.
What?
It`s not a big deal at all.
I`m just...
Come on.
Uh...
Amber needs a job.
She needs some work.
I`m sorry.
Do you guys have anything at
the studio that she could do?
She`s needing some money.
Boy, would that`ve been nice.
I love music.
She`s so very musical...
Can you blame me?
...your assistant...
We already have a...
We already have an assistant.
...someone working already.
SARAH: You guys
have an assistant?
I mean, we would love
to have you, but it`s
kind of a money...
Your dad wants to give
a speech here.
Oh, okay.
KRlSTlNA: He`s very excited.
JOEL: So, it`s gonna be...
Be right there, Pop.
What are you talking about?
Amber`s looking...
Amber`s looking for work
but we, you know...
Oh, okay.
If you had an assistant...
Well, we already
have an assistant.
Yeah, you guys have
a great assistant.
Actually, l`m working
on a campaign and maybe
I can get you on board.
I don`t know if there`s
any openings...
Bobby Little, he`s
running for city council.
Oh, that`d be amazing.
This guy used to be
her intern.
We called him
Little Bobby Little.
You called him
Little Bobby Little.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
SARAH: I think you would
be great at that.
KRlSTlNA: So, it could
be great. I mean...
Come! Come on!
We`re ready.
Yeah.
I just wanna say
a few words. No big deal.
I think that would be great.
What are you doing?
`Cause I can`t hire her,
now you`re gonna hire her?
No, you have an assistant.
...not the kind
of job she`s...
If you would`ve fired Rachel,
you`d have a spot up there.
But you didn`t,
so l`m gonna try.
Adam?
Yeah, sorry, sorry, Pop.
Hey, where`s Mom?
Yeah, where`s Grandma?
You know, at my age,
you start thinking,
well, there just
couldn`t be any more
surprises but, uh...
SARAH: Dad...
Well, no.
The break is on. This is it.
Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!
WOMAN ON TV: Are you worried
about a storm?
ZEEK: Nope. Looks like
clear skies ahead.
CROSBY: Oh, my God!
AMBER: Kristina!
Yeah, it`s me...
I`ve got a lot of life
to live and...
CROSBY: Look at where
her hand is!
...with Virilia`s help,
by golly, I`m living it.
(ALL CLAMORlNG)
CROSBY: Holy!
ADAM: Dad`s not
afraid of no storm!
I need you to take Max
to school in the morning.
I have to stop by the office.
Okay.
I thought you didn`t
start work until Monday.
I don`t. But Bob wants me
to meet the team. So...
Right.
How long are you
gonna be mad at me?
I don`t know.
(SlGHS)
Hey, you know we would
totally hire Amber if
we had the money.
I would love to
have her working here.
Oh, yeah.
I think it`d be really fun,
but it`s...
Don`t you think it`d be
so great with her music
and everything?
No, it would. It`d be great.
But she needs money
and we are not in a position
to really pay her.
I don`t know how much
money she`s gonna make
on a campaign, but...
Well, maybe it`ll lead
to something.
Yeah. That`s...
I think it was cool, though,
of Kristina to offer. Right?
I thought it was cool, too.
Yeah. So, speaking of Amber...
Trying to get a job...
I slept with Jasmine
the other day.
(CHOKES)
Oops. And I was hoping
that maybe you`ve done
the same thing with Seth
and could advise me
on said situation.
Has that ever happened?
That`s a yes? Good.
So this is something
that happens.
That people do this.
It`s the mother ofyour child,
you know? It`s a pretty
special connection.
Yeah. Yeah, it`s complicated,
you know?
We were telling Jabbar
that we weren`t getting
married and it was kinda sad.
We were... We were both
sad and then we started
drinking wine, and...
And then, uh, you know...
Yeah, I know.
I haven`t talked to her.
I don`t know really what
l`m supposed to say to her.
You think this is gonna
make everything different?
It depends on whether
or not you want
everything to be different.
Mmm-hmm.
What if I don`t know?
BOB: So, you did the
Embarcadero yesterday?
You`re on the Esplanade today.
You called the representative
and the reporter
to make sure
that he`s on board?
Terrific, all right, great.
Kristina!
Hi! Hey!
Thank God you`re here.
How are you?
You ready to hit
the ground running?
So good to see you!
Yeah, good to see you.
Wow, you look great.
Thank you, thank you,
thank you.
All grown up and...
Donna, can you send Kristina
my calendar?
Get her set up with everything
that she needs.
And get her directions to
the SElU meeting tomorrow.
Yes. Anything you need.
I`m Kristina.
Hi, Donna.
The meeting`s here.
And the notes for the
meeting are on your desk.
What meeting?
There`s a meeting here
tomorrow?
Yes. Oh, crap.
Okay.
Did you not get a call?
I didn`t get a call.
I`m sorry. Is this a problem?
I`m actually taking my son
to the dinosaur exhibit.
Tomorrow`s Saturday,
so I thought I would be off.
I am so sorry.
That`s okay.
Donna, will you please
go yell at someone?
I`m probably gonna
take him in the morning.
Don`t worry.
I`m so sorry. We`re still
trying to work out the kinks.
Listen. Heads are gonna
roll for this.
Don`t make any heads roll.
I promise you.
It`s fine.
But please tell me you can
make this meeting tomorrow.
I don`t have to tell you
what an endorsement
from the SElU
would mean to us.
I know.
I will be here.
I need you on this.
I`m here for you, okay?
I need you.
Okay, good. Good,
come on, let`s do this!
We`re gonna win this!
Come on, Donna!
Yeah.
Donna, get her the info.
Kristina, let`s go!
Come on, let`s go. Up here.
There`s... Okay. Winner.
Yes, ma`am.
I`m coming.
(KNOCKlNG AT DOOR)
Hi.
Hey.
I think I need to quit.
Why is that?
Have you broken something?
No. I really hoped that
everything would blow over.
But it`s not at all.
I feel like I just
ruined everything over
one drunk mistake.
So, you wanna throw
it all away over
one drunk mistake?
Yeah.
I mean...
I don`t know what other
choice I have.
I think life might go on.
You`re not quitting.
Really?
Yes, really.
It`s gonna blow over.
You just have to give
it a little time.
And between you and me,
it`s not even about Adam.
It`s stuff he`s dealing with
at home with his wife.
His wife knows?
Yes, his wife knows.
Oh, my God.
Despite my advice
not to tell her.
She must hate me.
Yeah.
She probably does. But hey,
she hated me two months ago.
I mean, she really
wanted to kill me.
And now she seems to like me.
Really?
Yeah.
How`d you get her
to forgive you?
I delivered her baby.
Oh.
That might not be
an option for you.
So, you might have to think
of something different.
I feel so stupid.
Hey, it`s okay.
You don`t need to feel stupid.
You`re a good person.
You screwed up. You made
a mistake. You`re human.
That`s what we do.
Okay, thank you.
You`re welcome.
Now, go work, yeah?
Yeah. Okay.
Chop, chop.
Okay.
Hey.
Hi, kiddo.
How`s it going?
Good. Working hard?
Oh, yeah.
It`s freezing out there.
Yeah, it`s crazy, I know.
What`s for special today?
Oh, we have, uh...
Fighting a little
bit of a cold.
Some lovely coffee
or lovely tea.
Tea? Okay.
Yeah. Those are sort of
our specialties here.
All right.
How`s it going?
Very good, very great.
Everything`s awesome.
Did you come here
to break the news
gently to me?
No job, stuck here forever?
Actually, it`s the
complete opposite.
Um, l`m coming to tell
you that there is one
job available.
I`ll take it!
Really?
You don`t know what it is.
I don`t care.
Right.
I just gotta get out of here.
How would you like
to be my assistant?
They gave me a budget
for an assistant and
I immediately thought of you.
I want you to work with me.
Oh, my gosh. Wow.
It`s a lot of work, Amber.
I`m not gonna lie.
I mean, you have to be up
with me in the mornings
very early, sometimes.
You`re not gonna sleep a lot.
You`re gonna be
running errands non-stop,
you`re gonna be sitting
in on meetings,
writing copy for the press.
I know, it sounds intense,
because it is.
But I just think that this
could be so great for you.
I know you can do this.
Wow. It sounds great. I`m...
Yeah? But...
I`m... I`m scared,
I mean...
Let`s be honest,
I don`t have the best
track record
when it comes to family
business and I don`t
wanna let you down.
Amber, stop. Stop.
You`re not gonna
let me down, okay?
I think that you`re smart.
I think that you`re
resourceful...
I think that you have
this amazing ability
to talk to anybody.
You`re like a diamond in the
rough. I think you need
to give yourself more credit.
Honey, the way that
you were with Max,
l`ll never forget that.
So, what do you say?
Yes.
Yes? So, 9:00 a.m.
Monday morning.
I`ll be there.
Okay.
Gotcha.
Hey, um... Thank you.
You`re welcome.
Bye!
Work hard!
Max, honey, l`m so bummed
that I won`t be able to see
the dinosaurs tomorrow
with you, and l`m so sorry.
Well, there`re no
actual dinosaurs.
They`re extinct.
Right, I know. I know.
They just have the bones.
That`s very true, very true.
Are you upset
that l`m not going?
Well, no, `cause
Dad can take me.
I`m super excited...
You guys are gonna
have so much fun.
Yes, we are.
I`m so excited for you.
I heard it`s amazing.
Yes, it`s gonna be cool.
Dad!
Yeah, hey!
Okay, so the museum says
to expect crowds.
And you know, delays in line.
So what we should do is
we should get there early.
Probably before it opens...
I got Chinese food because
I was at the office late.
Just give me one second, Max.
That`s okay, I love Chinese.
Thank you.
I know. You`re welcome.
Let me take all that out.
I got it. I got some Mu Shu
chicken and some...
Max, just let me talk to your
mom for one second.
Honey, I have to go
into work tomorrow.
There`s some people who want
to check out the studio.
They can only
come in tomorrow.
So, I can`t take you
to the museum.
No, you can`t work tomorrow.
`Cause tomorrow is Saturday.
And I know that I said I was
gonna go, but I can`t make it.
No, Dad. We`re going
to the museum tomorrow.
Okay, Max. Listen to Mom.
I need you to calm down and
take a deep breath, okay?
I... No, we`re...
Max...
Sometimes...
We can`t... We`re gonna
go tomorrow!
Plans change and this
is one of those times and
we`ll work through it, and...
Max, l`m sorry you`re upset.
I wanted to go too.
Why is he so upset?
He never cares
whether I go or not.
It`s not about you, Adam.
Okay? I have to work tomorrow.
Therefore no one can take
him to the museum.
Since when?
That`s what this is about.
This is news to me.
I have a meeting tomorrow.
It was just called.
I can`t control it.
Well, a heads-up
would have been nice.
What, should I have called
your secretary?
Very funny.
Should`ve given her a ring.
I would`ve just appreciated
a heads-up, that`s all.
Oh, okay, next time
I will call her.
Um, don`t worry, I got this.
I`ll figure it out.
Okay.
Yep. Got it.
All right.
Mmm-mmm.
Haddie, come on.
I`m sorry.
Haddie, we wouldn`t be asking
if we weren`t desperate.
I understand, and
l`ve done it so many times,
but I can`t!
All right. I`ve gone through
all the Bravermans.
We need your help.
Your grandmother
and everybody.
And you`re the best
at babysitting Max.
Yeah, I just have
a giant heart.
Why don`t you just think
real hard about something
you`ve always wanted from us
and just shoot for the moon.
What?
Go for it.
Okay, give me a car.
A car? Tell you what,
l`ll meet you half-way.
Ten dollars an hour?
That`s not half-way...
Just stop! Stop, stop, stop!
No money is exchanging
hands right now, okay?
Tomorrow, you`re gonna
watch your brother.
Only your brother.
I`ll make sure
that Nora`s covered.
I`ll also make sure
that he leaves you alone
while you`re studying.
This is not a negotiation,
you got it?
Okay.
Done?
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay! God!
Thank you so much
for doing this.
I really appreciate it.
You`re a lifesaver.
This is so last-minute,
I know.
Are you kidding?
It`s my pleasure.
Everything is in here,
her bottles, her NUK and all
of her play toys are in there.
I can`t nurse her,
technically. She`s still on...
Her diapers and everything...
Breast milk. Yes,
and you don`t have
to worry about that.
I don`t. I can`t provide
that, just so...
I didn`t think so.
Here you go.
Say, ``Hi, Aunt Sarah.``
She`s sleepy, sleepy.
She fell asleep in the car.
She`s so tired.
Look at her.
I know. That`s the
outfit you got her.
Yeah, I like a jean
jacket on a baby.
What can I say?
You have style.
Thank you for taking
care of Amber, she`s so
excited to start Monday.
Oh, my God. Did she tell
you? I`m so excited that
she`s gonna do it.
At first she was like,
``l`m not sure,`` and
she was hesitant, but...
She`s just nervous.
But she`ll be fine.
Yeah.
I believe in her, so...
Well, I don`t want you
to worry.
Mark`s coming over later.
He`ll help out and...
Oh, l`m not worried at all.
...call you if anything...
I`m not, I promise you...
I`m not worried.
I remember the first
day I left Amber.
It`s tough, you know.
So, I don`t want
you to feel...
It`s a little tough.
I mean, I feel
a little guilty, but...
I`m lying, actually.
I am so excited to go to work.
Get out of here.
And be around other
people, other adults, and...
I dressed up. I mean...
You look great!
Thank you.
Live it up! Go!
Thank you, thank you.
Don`t worry.
Thank you for taking
care of my baby.
Thank you for taking
care of my baby.
You`re welcome.
Call me for anything, okay?
I will. Have fun.
Thank you. Thank you.
Say ``Bye`` to Mommy.
Bye. Okay, call me.
Say ``Bye.``
MAX: Haddie!
No.
I figured it out.
No!
Okay. Come on.
No, look. Okay.
Max. What did I tell
you five minutes ago?
So, we take the number 18
bus to Allston.
I`m still studying.
And then walk one half-block
up Shattuck.
Then we take the Downtown
Berkeley BART to the
Embarcadero Station and then,
we transfer to
the municipal thing.
Max, get out of my room.
Yeah, and from there we
just... We just...
I`m sorry.
I need to have
just an hour more.
No, Haddie!
Remember?
What did I tell you?
We`re not going to the museum.
No, no, it`s only 20 minutes.
We`re just hanging out
at home tonight.
No, Haddie. This isn`t fair!
Mom and Dad are the ones
that broke their promise.
So, l`m being...
Why am I being punished?
I`m sorry.
I don`t know.
Why am I being punished?
You`re not being punished.
I am. I`m not getting
to go to the museum.
Max, l`m sorry...
You could easily take me
to the museum.
Mom and Dad are both working.
I have to study!
No, but we can`t.
I`m sorry. I`m in
the middle of something.
This isn`t fair.
Max, you need to get out. You
need to get out of my room.
This isn`t fair.
I`m sorry. It`s not fair
to me either.
Haddie, this isn`t fair.
Bye, bye.
Crazy, crazy. Crazy.
You know, we`ve got most
of them working
on Telegraph Hill
with some of the
student body there.
I can go over that
with you later...
(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG)
Oh. Hold on
one second, Bob.
Um, this is my husband.
I`m gonna take it real quick.
Okay?
Do it.
Thanks. I`ll be right there.
Hey. What`s up?
Kristina? Hi, it`s Rachel.
Am I catching you
at a bad time?
It`s not a great time,
Rachel. What?
I`m sorry to call you on the
weekend. I`m sure you`re
really busy with the kids.
Actually, l`m working.
Is Adam okay?
Does he need something?
What? What`s going on?
No.
I just, l...
I can call you back
when it`s a better time.
Rachel. What is it?
I just wanted to say that l`m
really, really sorry.
And I know that
you`re upset with Adam,
and you really shouldn`t be.
He absolutely
did nothing wrong.
It`s completely my fault.
And I have no excuses
for my bad behavior.
And I am so, so, so sorry.
Okay, I have to go.
Okay.
Good?
Yeah.
Alrighty. Yes...
Remember Sally and Marty?
I do.
Here, baby. Here.
That pacifier is not working.
No, that`s okay.
Hi, baby. What?
There you go...
This doesn`t make it
look good.
Am I terrifying her?
Do that with me.
(NORA CRYlNG)
Oh, sweet honey.
Hi, baby.
Do... Don`t hurt the baby!
Oh! She knows that
I can`t hold a baby.
I got this... See?
What?
(SPEAKlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY)
See? We`re doing all right.
Max. I`m taking a break...
What`s going on?
Max!
Oh, little Maxie!
Max! Max, do you hear me?
I`m calling your name!
Max, what the heck?
Max!
Max! Where are you?
I`d have to ask my brother,
but I think if you guys
are willing to pay the rate,
he could be agreeable to be
available for 2$ hours a day.
Come on in.
I`m sorry to interrupt.
Yeah.
Your daughter`s on the phone.
She says it`s urgent.
Uh, okay. One second, guys.
Haddie? You okay?
I cannot believe this, Haddie.
How could you let this happen?
I said l`m sorry.
How hard is that?
Can you please not yell?
I`m scared. I`m sorry.
I`m not yelling.
Okay, listen. You just gotta
stay at the house
and make sure that
you`re there in case
Max comes home
or calls or anybody
calls, okay?
Okay.
I`m gonna go to the museum.
Okay. The police are here.
Haddie! Wait. Wait, wait!
What?
You gotta let `em know
he`s autistic.
And that he`s gonna behave
erratically.
And that he`s not used to
being alone. You got that?
I know.
Do you hear me?
I know. Okay, I will.
I`ll tell them.
Okay.
Okay. Bye.
Hi.
Call Kristina!
COMPUTER VOlCE:
Calling Crosby.
Call Kristina.
Calling dry cleaner.
Oh, my God! Call Kristina!
You and Mom
have fun last night?
Uh-huh. We watched Nemo.
Ooh, Nemo. That`s a good one.
But Mom didn`t see the end.
She had to go to her room
`cause she got too sad.
Well, it`s kind of
a sad movie.
I guess. I wasn`t supposed to
tell you that she was crying.
Can we get ice cream?
Yeah. Only if you
beat me there first!
Oh, yes. Oh! Ow!
Oh, buddy! Are you okay?
What happened? Your wrist?
Yeah...
Hold on, hold on, hold on a
minute. Just hold it still.
It hurts!
Hey. You hear anything?
No, nothing.
So, you didn`t find him.
No, I went through the entire
museum like, five times.
I talked to every
security guard. Nothing.
Listen, can you think
of anything else that he said?
Is there any other place
that he might be?
Can you think of anything?
Um, no. I don`t...
I mean, I don`t know.
I`m sorry, Dad.
It`s okay. All right?
We`re gonna find him.
I didn`t think that he was
just gonna leave.
Just stay put, all right?
I`ll be home in a little bit.
I love you.
This is officially
the littlest baby
that I have ever held.
This is?
Mmm-hmm.
This one right here.
Wow.
I mean, l`m not that... I`ve
held too many babies. None
of my friends have them yet.
I had two by your age.
That`s true.
Hey, I am falling behind.
Slacking. I`m a late bloomer.
(NORA CRlES)
Oh! I know! I know! Don`t...
That`s my nose.
So, here`s what l`m thinking.
The park, the one with the big
honking slide?
Yeah.
Then, library for story hour.
Park and story hour?
Yeah... It`s on.
Yes! Coming! Who is it?
Hey.
Hi, Zoe.
What`s up, pretty girl?
Give me just a minute, okay?
Okay.
All right.
Hi.
I don`t want her to see you.
It`s, you know,
a little hard to explain.
Well, I just came to tell you
that Troy is not a bad guy.
Zoe...
I haven`t had what you would
call a cushy life, okay?
And Troy just thinks that
this could finally make things
easier for me.
I know it looks like
he`s being a huge jerk,
but it`s just
`cause he really loves me.
You know?
All right.
You... You`ve been
so nice to me.
And you`re this amazing woman
that`s done
all these amazing things.
And l`m just some
pathetic girl that listens to
whatever her boyfriend
tells her to do, right?
No, Zoe. You`re not pathetic.
You`re strong. You`re probably
stronger than you know.
But right now, I have to take
my daughter to the park.
I`m so sorry.
Me too. I would`ve been
a great mother to your baby.
No. We don`t have any idea
where he might be right now.
But if you hear anything, just
please give me a call back.
All right, thank you.
I found, uh,
this picture of Max
in the sweatshirt he was
wearing. Who
are you talking to?
Great. Uh...
The police asked me to call
all of Max`s friends,
and since he doesn`t have any
friends l`m just going down
the list of his class
and calling all those
households. And now l`m
gonna try your mother. Again.
KRlSTlNA: lt`s easy,
if they do this...
BOB: Listen, I say
we`re sending Kristina
to go do all the drinking
with the college students.
I knew you were gonna
say that.
I was gonna say that too.
(BOB AND KRlSTlNA LAUGH)
And it goes straight to
voicemail.
I can`t believe this.
One half-block up Shattuck
to Downtown Berkeley BART.
Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me, sir.
My name is Max Braverman
and l`m looking for the
Downtown Berkeley
BART station.
You got any money?
Hey, hey, hey. Watch it.
Hey, little man.
How you doing?
Hey.
Hey.
It hurts.
I know, but we`re
gonna get you fixed up.
Ah... Sorry about
the wait, man.
I got here as fast as I could.
I was coming down
from the Cal game
and traffic on Embarcadero
was a nightmare.
Did we win?
Uh... We were up 1$-9
when I left.
You left in the middle of a
Cal game to come down here?
That`s, uh,
that`s really nice.
Thank you.
This sure is a beauty.
Dad, it hurts.
I know, but he`s gonna fix it.
Oh, hey, man, take my hand.
It`s okay.
Now give me a squeeze
every time it hurts, okay?
Now, if it hurts really bad,
squeeze really hard,
all right?
Psst!
What kind of ice cream
did you get?
A snow cone.
Nice.
My dad didn`t let me eat it.
He made me put it
on my wrist.
That`s `cause your dad`s
a really smart guy,
because he did
the exact right thing.
Now, I want you to keep ice
on your wrist for the next
2$ hours, okay?
Twenty minutes on,
twenty minutes off.
So it`s...
It`s not broken?
Nah, it`s just a minor sprain.
I am gonna send you guys home
with some real ice packs
so you can save the ice cream
for your tummy.
(GlGGLES)
I know where the ice
packs are. Can I get them?
Yeah, go for it.
Jasmine and Jabbar have spent,
uh, you know, a few
afternoons here.
So, he likes to help me out.
Yeah. He`s a good helper.
Yeah.
I really can`t believe you
left in the middle
of a Cal game.
I mean, that`s...
Do you do that for
all your patients?
Well, I wouldn`t ordinarily
leave a seat on the 50-yard
line in the second quarter.
But he`s worth it.
You know this job
would be perfect...
I cannot do that.
I would get in trouble.
Oh, God...
It`s not happening. Forget it.
Kristina, it`s Adam, again.
I am starting to get worried
about you too.
Could you please
give me a call back?
Thank you. Bye.
Okay. Here`s what we have
so far, Mr. Braverman.
(LAUGHS) We`re all set.
I`m way too old for that.
You know... She`s on it, guys.
Bobby, l`m not doing that.
Make sure she
takes care of that.
You`re on it.
No!
Sorry.
We have a squad car
on the way,
and like I said before...
Excuse me. Hey.
Adam?
He`s all right. A metro cop
found him in Oakland
walking around.
And they`re gonna
bring him home.
Found who?
Max. Look, honey, l`ll explain
everything later. Okay?
Just come home.
(APPROACHlNG SlREN BLARlNG)
Yeah, well my phone was off
for one meeting.
That`s it. I mean,
you could`ve texted me
or tried...
Let`s just try and stay calm
and give him
some space, all right?
It`s all right.
Try not to smother him.
I`m not gonna smother him.
I just want him home.
And l`m just
gonna make sure he`s okay.
ADAM: Hey, look who`s home.
I got to ride in a cop car.
It was pretty fun.
Welcome home to the
adventurer.
I`m gonna go to my room now.
Well, how about we all just
hang out here
and you can tell us
about your adventure.
Are you okay?
No, I gotta feed my lizard.
No, stop.
You wanna tell us about the
ride in the police car?
No, `cause I have to
feed my lizard.
Are you hungry, honey?
Are you serious?
We`re not gonna have a
conversation about this?
Let him feed his lizard.
You two are not gonna talk
to him?
Honey, just let him be.
He`s been through a lot today.
No, that`s not fair.
No, Max, stop.
Max!
Max, do you understand
what happened today?
Well, I wanted to go
to the museum.
Yes, we know. And when you
just wanted to leave and
didn`t say anything,
do you understand that we had
to spend our entire day
worrying about you
and wondering where you are,
and worrying...
Well, I didn`t go to the
museum,
I didn`t get to go to the
museum, after all.
Okay, okay.
Well do you get that?
Do you care?
Max, can you look at your
sister?
Do you care?
No. You don`t care, `cause
you never care. Of course.
Like...
KRlSTlNA: Haddie.
Please.
What? This isn`t fair.
Max, you have to think about
other people.
You only think about
yourself. I mean, what
am I supposed to do?
Everything becomes so hard.
Why? Like,
why don`t you think about
anybody but yourself?
KRlSTlNA: Haddie...
It`s so hard.
It`s not fair!
We try so hard
to make things normal,
and it`s just not!
Is she gonna get in trouble
for yelling?
I`m gonna go feed
Guacamole.
Okay.
Haddie?
I know l`m in trouble.
No. No, you`re not in trouble.
I`m really sorry.
Can you scoot over?
Yeah. I`m sorry. I`m sorry.
I didn`t mean to lose Max,
and I can`t yell at him for
something that`s not
in his control.
What happened today wasn`t
your fault, Haddie.
If anything, your mother
and I should have...
Done a better job
rescheduling for Max.
You were upset, and you`ve got
a right to be upset.
You handle a lot, Haddie.
And you handle it really well.
Sometimes your mother and l
forget how hard it is on you.
It`s okay.
It`s fine.
No, it`s not fine.
I guess it`s not fine,
but it is the way
that it is, right? So...
Yeah.
Well, l`m sorry it`s hard.
I mean, I know
it`s not his fault,
but it just sucks a little.
Man, it does.
Come here.
I`m very proud of you,
you know that?
Hmm?
You okay?
Hey.
We`re gonna figure this out,
okay?
If we`re both gonna
be working, we have to...
We gotta communicate
better and...
We`re a team, right?
Yep.
Okay.
Adam, we almost lost
a kid today. I mean,
how is this gonna...
We did lose a kid today.
We did lose a kid today.
And it was my fault.
Yes, it was.
No, Kristina.
It`s not your fault.
Honey. I had my phone on
silent because I was
mad at you.
It`s my fault, okay?
I`m his mother.
I think you had
a right to be mad.
I said l`d fire her,
and I didn`t.
So, l`m sorry.
I`m sorry.
I`m sorry too.
I don`t like
fighting with you.
Hey.
(SNlFFS)
You`re my best friend.
You`re my best friend.
I love you.
I love you more.
(LAUGHS)
You know, when Jabbar hurt
his wrist yesterday, Dr. Joe
was at a football game.
Like, in the middle of the
game, at the 50-yard line.
And he came to help Jabbar,
which was really nice.
It was super nice and
he treats Jabbar really well.
And l`m guessing that
he treats you the same.
He does.
And you deserve that.
No, I don`t.
Yes, you do.
No, I don`t.
Yeah, you do.
No. How? I`m doing the same
thing you did to me.
I can`t believe l`m about to
put him through that.
Well, then don`t.
Not say anything?
I mean, it`s your decision,
but speaking from experience,
I don`t think you should lose
everything you have
for something that
shouldn`t have happened
in the first place.
There`s always gonna be
a part of me that loves you.
That`s just how it is.
But l`m really sorry
that that part
keeps doing
horrible things to you.
You don`t deserve that.
You deserve better.
(TELEPHONE RlNGlNG)
Hi, the Luncheonette.
This is Rachel.
Hi, Rachel.
It`s Kristina Braverman.
Adam`s wife?
Hi, Mrs. Braverman.
Adam isn`t in.
I know. I`m actually calling
to talk to you.
That thing that
you did with my husband?
Not cool.
Don`t ever do it again.
You got it?
I will not, ever. Ever again.
Good. Then I guess we`re good.
Have a great day, Rachel.
(SlGHS)
(SlGHS)
What are we doing today?
Um...
We could do lots of stuff.
We could sit on the couch
all day.
(SNORTS)
Or we could sit over there
all day.
I`m so tired.
Aw...
It was fun, though.
It was really fun.
I don`t know if I ever showed
you this video.
Oh, my God.
Are you kidding me?
Nora, look at how pretty
you are!
Who`s that?
Do you see right here?
I`m serious. I wasn`tjoking.
Do you see right here?
Who`s that?
CYR: Oh!
SARAH: That`s you.
CYR: She`s concerned.
That`s me,
I`ll cut out
the scary...
I could totally see having a
baby with you.
Um...
I`m sorry. Is that a weird...
I didn`t...
I said that out loud.
I`m really tired,
and l`m not thinking
about what l`m saying.
I`m sorry.
My brain usually filters
that stuff out.
Did that...
Are you freaked out?
On a scale of one to 10,
how badly are you freaked out?
You can be honest.
Two.
Two? Where one is low
and 10 is high?
Regular two?
Two.
(lNAUDlBLE)
I told him I didn`t agree
with him and we got into
a huge fight,
and he told me not to
come home. I had nowhere
else to go.
Oh, Zoe.
(SOBBlNG) I don`t wanna...
I can`t promise you
he`s ever gonna come around.
He was really mad at me.
I don`t think he`s ever gonna
sign those papers.
I don`t know what`s gonna
happen to the baby.
Zoe. Just come in.
(SOBBlNG)
