Parenthood (2010–2015): Season 3, Episode 14 - It Is What It Is - full transcript

Amber, what you said
about my ad earlier...

I want to say
I think you were right on.

And I really appreciate
you having the guts
to speak up, so thank you.

Wow. Okay, great.

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

JULlA: What's this?

JOEL: What is it?

He signed
the adoption papers.

He treats Jabbar
really well

and I'm guessing
that he treats you
the same.

He does.
You deserve that.



Hey, Lily, we have
an extra studio upstairs
that we don't use.

If you ever want to
practice there,

it's open
and available to you.

(PLAYlNG RUNNlNG BASS LlNE)

(LAUGHS)

(PLAYlNG PlANO)

Whoo!
Yes.

Wow.
Thank you.

That was some
hot blues.

Yeah, you can play
the hell out of that thing.

Yeah, well. Thank you.
That was cool.

You just made that
thing kind of cool.

I thought those things
only played nerd music.

Yeah?
I'm so wrong.



I want to see you
play this live,

Iike, you don't call it
shows, do you?

A performance.
I want to see a performance.

I do. Actually this, uh...
This Sunday night.

Really?
In Golden Gate Park,
l'm part of quartet.

I would... I would love
to come but I have
my son that day, on Sunday.

Okay, well, you, I mean
you can bring him because
I can get more tickets.

Oh! Yeah.

Okay.
Yeah. He will like it.
Mmm. Maybe not.

I know.
Classical music, l...

I want to play this thing.

I think
I can play this.

Maybe even better
than you is my guess.

Oh, really?
Yeah.

I mean it's just
a big guitar, right?

Oh, nice.

That's all
it is, right?

Wait, where are the frets?
What happened to the...

Uh-huh.
Where did those go?

Okay, so don't...
(STRUMS CELLO)

Pretty good, right?

You could...

I could call in sick
and you could take my place.

Really?
On Sunday, yeah.

You're that...

That talented.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Can I get some soda?

Yeah, one of
the small ones.

Okay.

Hi. Thank God.

What's up?
What are you doing?

I'm writing.
I need an interruption.

Badly.

How was school?

School was good.

I got an A
on that test so.

Oh, good.

An A in chemistry.
Very well done.

Want me to
make you something?

Um, well, l'm about to
leave and go to Amy's.

Again?

I'll eat there.
Yes, again.

I'm sorry.
All right.

Also, Amy's parents
are taking her to UC Davis...

Oh.

To look at the school
and she asked me
to go, so, okay.

Is that a school
you're interested in?

Um, I mean...

Because if you are,
we can make
a whole thing out of it

and do a tour and you know...
Make an appointment.

Well, yeah, I mean,
but I don't really know yet,

I'm just looking around.
Oh.

It's not like anything serious
or that big of a deal.

It's okay if I go?

Sure. Yeah, you can go.

All right, great.

All right,
I guess l'm out of here.

Really enjoyed
our time together.

It was really nice.

You will come home
at some point though, right?

I... Maybe.

Because l'd like
to see you again.

Hey.
Hey. How are you?

Breakfast for dinner.
I know. I know.

I just wanted
to do something
a little different.

It's all I had
in the house.
(NORA BREAKS WlND)

(LAUGHS)
Oh, hello.

HADDlE: My God, you guys.

What's going on, Nora?
She's a little gassy.

What's up?

Hi. I have to talk to you.

I have news.
What?

What's wrong?
What happened?
Okay.

I just have to tell you
that I got into Cornell,
early admission.

You did?
Yeah.

Haddie, congratulations!
That's fantastic.

You stinker, I was worried.
Thank you.

Why is there yelling?

Your sister
got into Cornell.

Okay, well, college
or university because
there's a difference.

University.
She got into Cornell.

Oh, okay, well, it's not,
you know, Harvard
or Yale or Princeton.

Ah!

(CLAMORlNG)

Give me a hug.
Give me a hug.

I'm so proud.
I really am.
Thank you. Thanks.

I really am.
I knew you could do it.

Nora!

That's fantastic, Haddie.
Did you hear?

Thank you.
Fantastic.

Yay. Your sister
got into Cornell.

(BEEPlNG)

(ACOUSTlC SONG PLAYlNG)

And blood pressure
looks good,

so lot of
positives here.

Yeah, all right.

But, there is something
we need to talk about, Zeek.

What?

Well, your tests show
that you have a condition
known as atrial fibrillation.

It's a sort of abnormal
heart rhythm.

In fact, it's the most
common one
amongst men your age.

It means the upper chambers
of the heart
aren't working correctly

so the blood isn't
moving through properly.

It's serious.

Not immediately
life-threatening,

but it can cause
blood clots,

greatly increases
your chances
of having a stroke.

It can also lead
to heart failure.

Well, now wait a second.
See, I mean I feel great.

I run, you know,
I take care of myself.

You can have AF
and show no symptoms.

It's not uncommon.

So it's...
It's treatable.

Yes.

For now l'm going to
put you on a blood thinner,

a beta-blocker
and recommend a program
of diet and exercise.

We'll follow up
in a little while
and see how you respond.

If the condition
gets more serious,

then we can discuss
surgical options then.

Surgery?

For now, we really
just need to monitor
and see how it goes.

That's a little ways
down the road.

Oh, okay.

Hey.

(WHlSPERS) Hey.

You okay?

Just can't stop thinking
about the cost
of tuition at Cornell.

It's like 50...

Closer to 60.

Sixty thousand.

That's just one year.

College is four years.

I've done the multiplying
over and over in my head.

I just...

You know, Cornell has
great financial aid.

Honey, they're going to
calculate based on what
I was earning at T and S

and that's only going to
get us to about $7,000 a year.

What about loans?

I just... I don't want
Haddie to be saddled
with all this debt

when she
gets out of school.

I could get another...
It's not just tuition.

You know, there's going
to be airfare to and from.

I know.

Pocket money.

She's going to need an entire
winter wardrobe, too.

She doesn't even
own mittens. Just...

(CLlCKS TONGUE)

Careful. Don't strip it.

Hey, my husband's
a contractor.

I know how to do
my thing here, all right.

Those are
awesome glasses.

Yes. Safety first.

Yeah, you know,
you really don't need
to worry about that with...

No, keep on doing
what you're doing. It's...

ZOE: Hey, guys.
Pretty sweet.

Okay, hey, take this.
Shut the door, all right?

Why?

Because this is for the baby
she's giving up.

It might be
awkward. Just...

Oh.

(SlGHS)

Hey.
(PANTlNG) Hey.

Whoo.
How's it going?

Good.
Yeah?

What's up?

How are you?
What are you doing?

Oh, you know,
just gonna go lay down,

and then pee
and then lay down

and then pee again
in 10 seconds so...

Great.

Oh, um, gosh,
I almost forgot,

I actually did sign us up
for that birthing class...

What?
That is this week.

Yeah.

You remember?
Yeah?

But I told you
l'm just going to go

and immediately
get my epidural on

and then that's it,
you know what I mean?

So, do we really
need to do that?

Yeah. That is completely
understandable,

but in order to
birth at this hospital,
we do have to.

Okay, whatever,
let's do it.

Awesome. Cool.

Let's do it.

(DOOR CLOSES)

JeffWormely,
he's hosting the fundraiser.

He's got tons of friends
with tons of money.
Wormely?

Why are you looking
at me like that?

Does that
not concern you?
What?

Wormley?
Or is it Wormely?
He's loaded.

I promise you,
so you need
to bring the charm.

It's been brung, okay?

It's been brung...

Hey. Sorry to interrupt.

Hey. No please come in.
Come on in.

It's fine.
I can come back.

I just wanted to give you
the proofed copy.
Thank you.

No, we're just talking about
the fundraiser on Sunday.
Can I take a look?

No, no, no,
please don't read it.
It's not ready.

It's fine. She's really,
really good. I promise.

(WHlSPERS) lt's good.
(SlGHS)

This is great.
Okay.

This is terrific.
Right.

She's good, right?
This is great.

She's going to
be there on Sunday, yes?

At the Wormely affair?

Yes.
Are you sure?

I don't know what
I will do there.
I know.

You see, it's like nearly
impossible to not make
fun of that name.

It's funny.

You're going to go.
It'll be fun.

Great.
Thanks for your work.
Sure.

See you soon.
I'll see you in a sec.

Okay.
Why am I going?

Hey.
Perfect timing.

I just got back
from the drug store.

I picked up
your prescriptions.

And I got you
a little pill box here

that has all the days
of the week on it

so you won't even
have to think about it.

I also found these, uh,

good heart
healthy recipes in a magazine,
l'm going to make.

And you have
to read these

instructions here
on the medications.

Yeah. I don't want to.

Because there may be
possible side effects.

Oh, l've been thinking,
I don't think we should
tell the kids right now.

Just hold off on that.

I got to get
my head around it.

Is that all right?

Okay.
Yeah.

So he has some
addition, math

and some solar system
crossword puzzle.

I guess that has
to be done for tomorrow.

Okay.

Hey, um...

Do you remember the girl
you met at the studio
the other night? Lily?

Lily? Yeah.
The cellist?

Yeah, the cellist.

Yeah. Mmm-hmm,
I remember her.

What's that?
What's that smirk about?

Nothing. I just...

I saw you guys kiss.

What do you mean
you saw us kiss?

You were creeping
around the hallway?
No. I just...

I mean,
it's not a big deal.

It's just that
Jabbar was there.

Jabbar saw it, too?
No.

That's because
I got to the door first

and when I saw
you were busy,
I ran interference.

Hmm.

Aw, thank you.

I didn't realize
we were being watched.
That's embarrassing.

Look, I know you're
going to have hookups
and l'm not saying don't.

Just, when you know
your son's on his way...

And for the record
it's not a hookup.

I actually, you know,
I like this girl.

Oh. Okay.

She's really cool
and she's a really
great musician.

And that's why
I brought her up

because I was going
to ask you if I could

take Jabbar to see her
perform this weekend
in this concert.

What concert?

It's this outdoor thing
at Golden Gate Park.

It's supposed
to be really cool.

Oh, the W.C. series.

Yeah.

Oh, wow. I can't believe
Lily's performing in that.
It's supposed to be amazing.

Yeah.

I was actually thinking
about getting tickets
for me and Joe.

Really? You were
planning on going with...

Yeah, I mean...

Can you help
hook that up?

Getting some tickets
for you and...

Yeah, I mean,
unless that's weird for you.
I mean, is that weird?

No. Yeah, l'll ask her.

Good.
I'll get you tickets.

Just making sure.
You know, I want you
to be comfortable.

Right. This'll be...

Fun.
Mmm-hmm.

Thanks.
Yeah.

(SlGHS)

This is really,
really hard.

It's a good way
to get out anger.

Just makes me
more angry though,
that l'm not strong.

(LAUGHS)

Well, you know
ice cream therapy
is very trendy.

It hasn't worked at all.
(DOORBELL RlNGlNG)

Oh, hang on.

Just a little bit more.
You know, I should
probably try it.

Do you want to try?
TERRl: Hey, hey, hey.

SARAH: l'm just
stopping by quickly.

Drew forgot something.
Oh, well,
we're in the kitchen.

You remember
my husband Paul?
Hi, Paul.

Hey.
Hi, Amy.

Hi.
You forgot this.

You said
you would text me.

How can you text me
without your device?

Yes. Exactly.

You brought this to me?

Yeah.

Well, I thought
l'd walk it down

because I know
how you get
without your phone,

so I was just
in the neighborhood...

Oh, wait, stop.
Stop. Stop.

Here, l'll pour you
a glass.
No, that's okay.

Please, l'm going to
pour you a glass.
Well, okay.

(LAUGHS) We're just
finishing up.

SARAH: Thank you so much.
TERRl:
Yeah, you're welcome.

Thank you again
for making dinner.
I can't believe it.

We love having Drew here.
TERRl: Yeah.

And you guys are going
to Davis on Saturday?

Yes. We both went
to school there.
That's where we met.

Oh, you went there?
TERRl: Yeah.

I've been there,
Drew's Dad played some gigs

and all I ever think about
when I think of Davis
is this Mexican restaurant

where we would
eat every day.

BOTH: El Coyote.

Yes! Is it still there?
(TERRl LAUGHS)

PAUL: lt's incredible!
The best margaritas.
It's amazing.

TERRl: Oh, the little bit
of salt on top. It's so good.

You should come with us.

To the...
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Yes.

PAUL:
We'll have lunch there.

TERRl: We were going to
take the kids.

So just come.
It'll be great.

There's no excuse.

Oh, God, I mean,
it's worth the trip,
really, you know?

PAUL: lt's a short trip.

And l'd love to
see the school.

That would be great.
I'm excited.

Beginning of our
college tour, you know?

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Come in.

Hey.
Hi.

What you doing?

I'm looking at the campus.

It's really pretty
and there's a museum
and stuff.

And I think it's
going to be cool.

Wow! It's beautiful.

It's just like exciting
and it's fun to look at.

I've never been there.
It's so pretty.
It's great.

That's amazing.
So, yeah.

That's very cool.
Yeah. (GlGGLES)

Listen, Haddie,
your mother and l,
we couldn't be prouder.

Getting into
an lvy League school
is a great achievement.

It's a remarkable
achievement.

And l've dreamt that for you
since you were a little kid.

Okay.

But we wanted to
talk to you about

keeping your options open.

KRlSTlNA: Mmm-hmm.
Just to have a backup.

As you know,
it's been a tough year,

with me losing
my job at T and S and...

Financially,
it's been
a rollercoaster.

You know, we hit
our savings pretty hard

and then, going into business
with Uncle Crosby pretty much
wiped out our savings.

And Max has expenses,
you know, for Dr. Pelikan
alone are colossal.

ADAM: Social skills group
and...

KRlSTlNA: Tutoring.

Nora.

Mmm-hmm. Sure.

And even though
both your mother
and I are working,

our combined income
isn't nearly as much money

as when I was working
at T and S, so...

We just want you
to keep your options open.

Maybe think about Berkley.
It's a great school.
You can live at home.

When you got out of school,
you wouldn't have
a huge mountain of debt.

KRlSTlNA: Oh, the student
loans alone would be...

HADDlE:
Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, okay. So, uh...

Yeah, it's nice that I got in,
in the first place,
so I don't have to go.

ADAM: Just keep your options
open until we figure out
what we can do.

Okay?
All right.

All right.

We're sorry
it has to be like this.
It just is...

No. I understand.

Okay.

Yeah.

(HORN HONKlNG)

ZEEK: Get out here!
You got to
look at this baby!

Isn't this a beauty?
Hey, come here!

ZEEK: Hey!

(WHlSTLES)
(GASPS)

SARAH: Dad!
Do we own that?

Whoo-hoo.
Are you ready
for some fun?

Dad, what did you do?

What did I do? I got this.

Isn't it beautiful?
Is this ours?

Is it ours?
No, it's mine.

That's awesome.
Mom, isn't it so awesome?

You know,
thank God for residuals.

I know, Milly,
you're wondering,
I got it at a good price.

It was a steal, really.

SARAH: Wondering?

You didn't know
he was going to buy that?

It's a surprise.
It was kind
of a surprise.

Ah.

Well, l'll let you
guys work that out.

Okay.
All right?

You like it?

I like it. Yeah.
Good luck, Dad.

What?

I didn't say a word.
Yeah.

All right.
Well, hey, Drew!
Is Drew here?

Hey, Drew!

Hey, kid, you got
to see this baby!

(WHlSTLES)

Hi.

Hi.

Um... I was just...

(CHUCKLES)

Working on the
nursery, right?

Yeah.

I know.

I didn't want to be
insensitive to you

so I kind of tried to
keep it away from you.

Yeah.

I totally get it,
you know?

Baby has to sleep
somewhere, right?

(LAUGHS)
Right.

I really don't want you
to worry about it, okay?

Thank you.
Cool?

Yeah.
Cool.

Oh, whoa.

Yeah.
Nice.

Oh, yeah?
Yeah.

I really like this one.

Me, too.

Wow.

It's all getting
so real, huh?

Yeah.

(CELLO PLAYlNG)

(HUMMlNG ALONG)

Hey.
Hey.

I thought you were
finished with that project.

Uh, I am.
Yeah.

I was just listening to it
because I like it.

You like the music
or you like the musician?

Well, I think it's both.
I like the music
and the musician.

Yeah, I can tell.

She's, uh...

She's pretty cool.
She's really unique.

I like her.

That's great, Cros.
I'm happy for you.

Thank you.

Um... There is a little bit
of a wrinkle, though.

Yeah, what's that?

(SlGHS)

Well, I asked Jasmine
if I could take Jabbar
to see her perform...

Right.
...in the Park this weekend.

And then, she invited herself
and Dr. Joe to join us

and she knows
that we've kissed.

Pretty weird, right?

That's not weird.
That's stupid.
(LAUGHS)

It is stupid.
And it's a bad idea.

Have fun with that.
I'll see you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
How do I get out of it?

Uh, you could call
Jasmine and you could
ask her not to come.

What if I acted like
the performance
had been canceled?

(LAUGHlNG) Yeah, do that.
Tell her the concert's
canceled. Good luck!

Thank you.

(lNCREASES VOLUME)

(KNOCK AT DOOR)
(DOORKNOB CLlCKS)

KRlSTlNA: Haddie?

Yeah?

Hi.
Hi.

What you up to?

Just looking at,
um, other campuses.

Other schools
that I applied to.

What's up?

Listen, Haddie,
I know how unfair this is.

I know that
you've worked so hard.

You've taken
all the AP classes,

you've done everything
the right way.

I mean,
this shouldn't be an issue.

Our finances
should not be an issue.

I mean, Dad and l
made sure of it

when you were little.
We started saving and...

Mom, I hope you don't think
that l'm upset about
your finances.

Then why are you upset?

I don't want to
talk about it.

Haddie, tell me.

Honestly, it's just
another situation that,

I feel like, because
Max needs something,

I don't get to do
something that I want.

Well, you know...

(SlGHS)

Honey, l'm sorry.
I mean, we have to spend
a lot of money on Max.

Dr. Pelikan alone,
huge expense.
Yeah, I know.

Like Dad and I told you,
but this is not...
I know.

Don't explain to me that
I need to understand Max's
situation or anything...

I'm not asking you.

I get it, if he has
to see Dr. Pelikan

and fulfill all his needs
and I can't go to school...

I'm not asking you
to understand, okay?
Then that's what it is.

Okay. I just,

we are trying
and, you know...

I'm just asking you
not to be upset because...

Mom, if I can't go
to the school that
I want to go to, that's fine.

People don't get to do
stuff that they want
to do all the time,

but you can't ask me
to not be upset about it.

Okay?

You have to just
let it be what it is.

Okay.

I'm sorry.
It's fine.

SARAH: What do you think?
Do you like that?
DREW: lt's nice, yeah.

Love the pillars,
love the building.

Can you imagine yourself
in a classroom there?

I can imagine
myself, yeah.

Yeah?

This spot right here
is where
I met your mother.

Nah, we met at this
ridiculous sit in.

Do you know
what a sit-in is?

Guys, that's nasty.

You don't know
what a sit-in is?

That's gross, guys.

Oh, wow.
Just like Wall Street.
Well.

Come here. I'm going to
show you where we used
to play Ultimate Frisbee.

Sorry about that.

This is great.

It is nice, huh?

They look so cute
together, don't they?

Yeah. I've never seen him
hold a girl's hand before.

Paul, I think
he's living out
some fantasy

about finally
having a son,
so, thank you.

Oh, thank you.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, there's
the science building.
We should go see that one.

Oh, yeah? Is that
what you studied?

Me? No. No. No.
That's Paul.

All the way.
He was a biology,
science major.

Since he and Drew
were talking...

About science?

Biology, yeah.
Since he wants
to be biology, you know.

Major? Drew?
Oh, right.

It's exciting.
Very exciting.
Yeah.

Hey, guys, wait!
It's right over here,
the science building.

Oh, hey.
Hey.

I have the list
of all the people that are
going to be at the event,

wives and interests,
etcetera.

Brilliant.

Hey, you know
you created

the single most
important document
in the entire campaign.

That's very motivational,
thanks.

I'm not being
motivational.

You know the funny thing
about politics,

in order to do good things
for people with no money,

you got to be really good
at seducing people
with money.

Hmm.

The country clubbers.

Ah, well,

I did work at a country club,
so maybe I have a leg up.

Hey, me, too.
I worked at a country club
as well. What did you do?

I was a waitress.
Uh-huh.

You?
I was a caddy.

Hmm.

Wow.

Your parents were
probably members

so l'm sure
they were nicer to you.

My parents were
never members
of a country club.

My father
is an assistant manager
of a family restaurant.

He didn't even
go to college.

Hmm.

I see.

And yet here you are,
your face on a poster.

How did you do it?

Ah... Truthfully?

Mmm-hmm.

I worked my freaking ass off.
I'm sickly motivated.

It's that or something
that happened around
the time I was two.

Hmm. I see.

Okay, well,
if you need anything else,
let me know.

Amber, l'm really excited
that you're going
to be there on Sunday.

(CHUCKLES)

Thank you. Me, too.

Hey.

So, um, I was going through
some of my old stuff...

Yeah?

And I found something
I really want to show you.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

It's beautiful.

Yeah, that was
my grandfather's watch.

Cool.

Uh, I was wondering, um,

if you might give that
to the baby for me?

I know that the baby's
never going to meet
my grandfather, but,

he was really good to me,

so it would just mean
so much to me
if the baby had it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah?
Yeah, sure, yeah.

Okay.

Thanks so much.

Okay.
All right.

(ZOE CHUCKLES)

So biology, huh?

I mean, yeah.

When did that
come up as a major?

Um...

I mean, I really like
the class at school.
It's like...

I knew that, but you know,
you didn't tell me
you were, like...

It's not that important.

Is it because
Amy's dad is in biology?

No. I like biology.
I mean...

Look, I just want you
to know that I understand.

I understand
you wanting advice,

you know, from somebody
who finished college
and has a cool career,

but l'm here
and keep me in the loop.

Right.

Well, yeah, I like biology.
Now you know, so...

Okay.

You're in the loop now.

Thanks.

Honey, we have
to send her.

I don't care if we have
to beg, borrow or steal
to do this, okay?

Kristina.
It's not fair to her.
She deserves this.

She's worked so hard.

In high school,
she maintained a $.1 GPA
the entire time.

I know this.
I know all these things.

And just she's been
so supportive with Max.

There are other
great schools out there.

We got a great school
right here in Berkley.
She's a great kid.

But that's not her
dream school.

Berkley is not
her dream school.

I know it's not
her dream school.

I'm sorry she's
going to be disappointed,

but she could
get out of school
without any debt.

She could have
a part-time job.

This is killing me.

(SlGHS)

It doesn't make
good sense.

Okay.

Then we need
to tell her.

We have to be honest with her
and tell her she can't go.

What'd you learn
on your big trip?

Well,

I learned that

Drew has become
very interested in biology.

Um...

He and Amy hold hands
no matter what.

Doesn't really
want to tell me
about his relationship,

or about his plans,

or really about
much of anything.

He's pulling away from me.
Hmm.

Well, that's what
they do, you know?

I mean,
that's what they do.

(CHUCKLES)

And then, uh...

(CLEARS THROAT)

The time is so fleeting.
I mean, just...

It just goes by
so quickly, Sarah.

(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG)

Hi.

Dinner?

Um...

I'm going to

hang out
with my dad.

Okay. Thanks, though.
I'll call you later.

You, too.

(BEEPS)

Would you like to have
dinner in the Airstream?

Are we allowed
to eat in there?

Most certainly.

Can we order pizza
from Rocco's?

Rocco's.

So much cheese.

Yes.

KRlSTlNA: And I can
promise you both,

not one penny will be cut
from the education budget
at all.

So I want you guys
to relax, have fun,
eat up and drink up

because l'm going
to hit you up
for a lot of money later.

(LAUGHlNG)

Come right over here.

(SOFTLY) Hey.

Can I steal you
for a second?
Yes.

Sorry. This is Celia Gould.

Hello.
Oh, Mrs. Gould.

Bob Little.

Thank you so much
for the incredible work
that you've done

on behalf of
the Clean the Bay.

Oh, my God,
how did you
know about that?

Are you kidding me?

The invitation that you guys
sent out for the event
at the end of the month.

The...

Moonlight
and Merlot Ball.
Yes.

Forgive me, but you guys
are bringing sexy back

to local advocacies,
Mrs. Gould.

(LAUGHlNG)

Well, I don't know about that,
but thank you very much.

We were just talking
about it at the office,
actually, right, Amber?

Yes. Yes, we were.

We're big fans
over there.

We really appreciate
everything you're doing.

Absolutely.
Wonderful. Thank you.

Well, please, I hope we'll be
able to talk more about it
later in the evening.

Me, too.
I can show you
the bar if you'd like.

Okay, sure.
Thank you so much.

(WHlSPERS)
Thank you, Amber.

Mr. Wormely, I just wanted
to say once again,

thank you so much
for hosting tonight.

It was such
a nice gesture.
And I just...

Who are you?

I'm Kristina Braverman.

I'm with
the Bob Little campaign.

We just met before.

Oh!
Your wife.

My wife roped me
into this yesterday.

I would rather
be anywhere.

Anywhere.

You know what,
I was thinking...

Since you're going
to be introducing Bob,

why don't we run
to the kitchen and...

I'm a pro.
I'm going to wing it.

No worries.
I can do that.

Mmm-hmm.

I can't believe
you got that guy
to come to my house.

Well, it's really
nice of you.

Oh, hey guys.

Hello.
Here's my boy.

Hi, Mommy.
Hi, sweetie.

Hi, Joe.
Hey, little man.

Hey Crosby, thanks for
thinking about us, man.

Jasmine told me
that you got us
the tickets.

Well, you gave me those
great football tickets

so I thought it was
the least I could do.

I mean, now we're
definitely even.

(LAUGHlNG)
Oh, no, probably not.

Oh, hey!
Hey!

There she is.
Hi.

How are you?
Good. Good.

You remember Jabbar?
Yes, hello.

And Jasmine.
Hi.

Hi.
Nice to
see you again.

Those are beautiful
earrings, wow.
Thank you.

This is Dr. Prestidge.
This is Lily.

Hi. Joe.
Please call me Joe.

Hi. Lily,
nice to meet you.

You guys got
the tickets okay?
Yeah.

Thank you very much.

No, no problem.

Oh, that is
an awesome suit, Jabbar.

You look very handsome
this evening.

Are you excited?
Are you ready
for the concert?

Yeah. My dad said
if I pretend
not to be bored,

he'll give me an ice cream
on the way home.

(ALL LAUGHlNG)

Oh. Nice.
Very clever.

Actually,
want to know a secret?

Classical music
can get a little boring,

but tonight there's
actually a piece of music

that has a section
that's my favorite,

ever because it's fun

and it sounds like instruments
are talking to each other
and it's really cool.

So I am going to be
sitting in that chair
right over there,

so ifyou keep
your eye on me,

I can give you
like a secret signal

when the fun part happens
so you don't miss it.

What do you think?
Sound good?

Awesome!
Awesome?

Awesome!
Great.

There you go!

Excellent. Okay.

WORMELY:
That's important stuff.

BOB:
You're absolutely right.

KRlSTlNA:
Stop with the sauce.

(WHlSPERS)
Absolutely hammered.
Out of his mind.

Dan, hey. Don't forget
about me and those
building permits.

Are you kidding me?
Good to see you.

Somebody needs
to run interference

because there's no way
he can get out there in front
of everybody and introduce me.

Okay, okay, no problem.
Hey, Bob.

Hey, Susan.

Thank you so much
for everything.
You are amazing.

Thank you.
It was very generous
of you.

You look beautiful
by the way.
(SlGHS)

Bob, I can do this.
I can introduce you.
It's not a problem, okay?

You're going to have to
watch the drunk guy, though,
because I can't do both.

Sure, yeah, no problem.
You can handle him?

Handling drunk guys?
That's my specialty.

Really?

Okay.

All right.
Good to go.

Shall we?
Yes.

Hi.

Okay. My name
is Kristina Braverman

and I have the privilege
of introducing you tonight

to the man
you are all here to meet.

Harmful.
Mmm-hmm.

They are wreaking havoc
with my Bentley.

Don't worry about it.
You can just relax.

Not worried at all.
Sit here, have fun with me.

Let me talk, okay...
But I want to
talk to you.

Oh, talk to me.
That's what
l'm here for.

And now, I give to you
the next city councilman
of the 10th district,

Mr. Bob Little!

(ALL CHEERlNG)

Thank you!

Thank you.
You're welcome.

That's a very
generous introduction
by Kristina Braverman.

Are you sure l'm not
supposed to do that?

I'm totally positive.

My wife is going to
kill me
if I screw this up.

You know what?
I'll handle your wife,
l'll handle it all.

Don't you worry about it.

Well, good for you then.
All right.
That's right.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Yeah?

Hey, Haddie,
can I come in?

Yeah.

I just wanted to talk
with you about Cornell.

Right.

Your mother and l
have been discussing it
and we want to make

a decision
that's best for you
in the long term.

Mmm-hmm.

So...

We're going to do
whatever it takes
to make it happen.

Okay?

(LAUGHS) Okay, yeah.

I want you to have
your college experience

you've been
dreaming about, okay?

Dad, okay.
All right.

Thank you.

I mean, we're going to what,
take more financial aid?

I don't know
how we're going to do it,
but we'll figure it out, okay?

It's going to be
tough on everybody.
Okay.

You're probably going
to have to get a job.

Yeah.
(LAUGHS) Sometime soon.

(LAUGHS)

Dad, okay.

Thank you.
You bet.

I love you, honey.

Hello, everyone, welcome.

I'm Mrs. Chopra,
l'll be your instructor.

Okay, let's start
with the bad news.

Childbirth is painful.

There's no point
in sugar-coating it,

you've all heard it
and it's true.

It hurts a lot.

But what's also
true is this...

The greatest joy
you'll ever feel in your life

is the first time you hold
your baby in your arms.

I mean it.

It's magic.

Are you exhausted
in a way you never
thought possible?

Yes. But trust me,

when you hold that baby,
it won't matter.

Everything will be perfect
in that moment.

(SOFTLY) Okay, all right,
excuse me.

Excuse me.

(SNlFFlNG)

(BREATHlNG HEAVlLY)

Sorry.
(DOOR OPENlNG)

Um, pardon me.

(SOBBlNG)

Hey.

I'm sorry.

No, l'm sorry about that.
I didn't really

think about what it was
going to be like

and if I had,
I wouldn't have

made us come.

So, you okay?

Mmm-hmm.

Okay.
It just hurts.

It hurts
more than I thought
it was going to hurt.

But it is
what it is, right?

I don't want you to
worry about this, okay?

(SOBBlNG)

KRlSTlNA: I feel
like l'm drunk,
l'm telling you what.

AMBER: Me, too.

BOTH: l'm so tired.
(LAUGHlNG)

I think we did pretty good.
I think so, too.

Look at all this money.

Is he going to have
to write individual
thank you notes?

Are we going to have
to do that for him?

No. No. I think
he'll probably just
call them or email them.

I don't know. It depends.
Wow. Look at the size
of that donation.

Oh, boy.
He's getting
a home visit.

He really is.
(LAUGHS)

Can you do me
a huge favor?
Yeah.

Can you gather all of this
and like, put it all together.

And then brief Bob
on how tonight went?

I just, I really want
to get home to Nora.
I miss her.

I'm not spending
any time with her at all.

I totally understand.
No problem.

Okay, thank you very much.
Sure.

And I do want to say,
l'm really impressed
with you.

You did awesome tonight.

Thank you.
You saved the day.

Thank you.
You were awesome.
You did great.

My speech wasn't very good.
It was great.

Oh, l'm not good
in front of crowds.

You look great.
You look amazing.
You're sweet, okay?

Good night. Thanks again
for everything. Love you.

Love you too.
Thank you, Mr. Wormely.

Thank you.
Keep on that coffee.

(LAUGHS)

It was lovely to have you.
It was a pleasure
to meet you.

Get home safely.
I'm going to do that.

She was lovely.

ZEEK: Hey.

I want to
show you something.
Come here.

CAMlLLE: Wow.

Look what you did.
Mmm-hmm.

Pretty nice, huh?

Champagne.

Yeah, I thought we'd
christen her, you know?

It's not a ship.
(LAUGHS)

Look it, Milly,

I know you've
been worried,

I got to tell you,

you and me are together,
it's so good.

And then,
I go see this doctor,

and he puts a grenade
in my lap and says,
''Here, there you go.

''Here's the
rest of your life.
How about that?''

And it...

(SlGHS)

Well, it's scary.

Yeah, yeah, it is.

Yeah.

But you're not alone in it.

I'm here with you.

I'm scared, too.

But we have to keep it
in perspective, right?

This isn't a death sentence.

The doctor said
this is quite common
for men your age.

You're otherwise healthy
and it's treatable.

None of us know
what's going to
happen to us or when.

Yeah, right.

So that's why
I got this.

See, l'm thinking,
let's get out.

Let's pack up and go.

We'll go to Yosemite.

We'll go to Yellowstone.

We'll stop along the way

and you can paint
every mission
from here to Canada.

We can do what...

(WHlSPERS)
we've always wanted to do.

We get out there
and just, you know...

I can't believe
that you remember that.

That was so long ago.

Yeah.

I wanted to paint
every mission.

Come on, kid.

Let's do it.

(CHUCKLES)

Let's just go do it.

Time for you to go to sleep.
You stayed up late tonight.

Okay, I love you, Mommy.

I love you, too.

Mommy?

Yeah?

I like Daddy's new friend.
She was really nice.

Yeah, she is.

Daddy seemed
really happy tonight.

Yeah. He did.

Okay, get some rest, okay?

Here you go.

Hey.

Hey.

Thank you so much
for tonight.

Please.
Really.

Thank you.
That was amazing.
You did so well.

Yes, we did.

Shh.

(WHlSPERlNG)
$130,000.

Wow! Congratulations.

It's that smile.
It gets them
every time.

Yeah, right, well.
When I run for President
you can say

that you completely
and utterly saved
my first campaign.

President? My goodness.
Them's lofty goals.

Yes, well, we certainly don't
have any self-confidence
issues, apparently.

Clearly. Well maybe
I can run your
Presidential campaign, too.

Oh, it would be an honor.

Sure. (LAUGHS)

Miss Amber Holt,

thank you very,
very much for tonight.

You're welcome.

This is me.

Are you hungry?
Do you want to
get a bite to eat?

I would like that,
but I have to be
up really early.

Working for you.

Hey, totally get it.

Hey, we'll do it
another time...

Okay.

It's no big deal.
Yeah.

Okay?
Sounds good.

Thank you again.

Good night.
Have a good night.

(SlGHS)
