Parenthood (2010–2015): Season 3, Episode 15 - Politics - full transcript

They gave me a budget for an assistant
and I immediately thought of you.

- Bob Little, I'm Amber.
- Hi.

I'm not gonna let you down.

The greatest joy you'll
ever feel in your life

is the first time you'll
feel your baby in your arms.

It's all getting so real huh?

Yeah.

- It's not a hook-up.

I actually, you know,
I like this girl.

I could totally see
having a baby with you.

You said you
wanted to have a baby



and then we never talked
about it again.

You know, I think
you're underestimating

how cool this new
analog equipment is,

we have to get it.

I'm sure it's very cool, but
we can't afford it right now.

You know, we haven't even
paid off that renovation.

Well, then we'll
put it on a credit card.

Putting anything
on a credit card... we can't

go into any more debt until we
start turning a profit.

It's an investment, you got
to spend money to make money.

You're underestimating
how much money we have.

Where you going?
Come on, record store.

We gotta go back...

™ş



dude, you're not
authorized to...

Crosby, what's up man?
How are you?

Good, this is Brent.

He was the second best
sound engineer over at Bayview.

Oh, because you were the best.

But now,
you're probably the best.

Right, it's so cute to say.

How you doing?
Adam, I'm his partner.

Good, Adam.
Nice to meet you.

- Business partner and brother.
- Right.

Oh, uh, luncheonette, right?
Yeah.

- How's it going?
- Good.

Oh, so much better
than Bayview.

- No sid.
- Yeah.

How's sid,
everyone still hate him?

Yeah, absolutely.

The guy is the worst
boss ever, it's horrible.

But, you know, we're busy so...

- that's cool.
- But you know what?

Actually, I got to get going.

The guys from dawes
are coming down

they want to look at
the new set-up and all that.

Oh, cool.

Sid wants me
to seduce them, which...

seduce them?

Yeah, I don't know
what that means.

I didn't know
they were in town.

- Yeah, yeah.
- Say, "hi," to Griffin

and Taylor, those guys are...

- oh, you know those guys?
- Yeah, little bit.

How do you know them?

Then you got to give me some
pointers on how to seduce them.

Oh, they're super laid back.

You just be yourself,
they'll love you.

All right, cool man,
it was really great seeing you.

And if you need a better sound
engineer when things get going,

definitely give me a call,
that jackass has got my number.

I probably will, because
I'm a little dissatisfied

with the guy I have right now.

All right, guys, see you later.

Take care.

So, what's the deal?

You know dawes?

Yeah, I mean,
I don't text with the guys,

but I know them.

You know, we have to
try to seduce them.

Amber, I'm just going to go
ahead and cut to chase here.

Okay.

You can't be
my assistant any longer.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I don't...
I don't understand.

You got a promotion.

You got a big, fat,
juicy promotion.

Bob wants you
to be his assistant.

I am not even joking.

I am so insanely proud of you.

Uh, whoa.

I'm so excited, I'm coming
over to give you a hug.

- Hug? Okay, I'm just...
- I know this is totally

unprofessional, but come here.

I'm so proud of you.
Great.

- I'm so happy.
- Hey.

I'm guessing Kristina
told you the news.

I did.

Yeah, thank you,
I'm surprised, I'm...

don't be surprised,
you've earned it.

Yes, you did.

Wow.

Here you go.

Oh, hello.

I want to name
my baby brother "Andy."

What do you think
his name should be?

I don't know, Syd.

Do you think my baby
brother can sleep in my room

sometimes or will he always
sleep in your room?

- You guys good?
- Yep.

Good, dinner's almost ready.

Here's your tea,

and here's some more
of my special...

well, wait until
you see the backyard.

Whoa! A pool?

You know something else?

It's in this amazing
neighborhood, Jasmine.

I mean, right at the end
of a cul-de-sac just...

I mean, seriously I kept
waiting for some kid to ride by

with E.T. In his bike basket.

And you know something else?

What?

It would be a great place
for a kid to grow up.

Move in with me, Jasmine.

I shocked you.

You're shocked,
your eyes are big

and you're shocked.

Yeah.

Listen, I know it's fast,
okay, I do.

But, I don't care.

This is something that
I've been thinking about a lot.

Every time I go look
at a house, okay,

I imagine you in it.

You, me, Jabbar.

And I want you to know
that I'm ready for this.

I mean, so ready, in fact,
I've never been more sure

about being ready for something
in my life, baby.

I just need you to say yes.

show me more.

That's don.

He's the one
who's getting married.

- Great, don, got it.
- So you'll meet him.

Where are you?

All right, we'll get to me.

But the purpose of this
whole thing is to show you

who you'll be meeting
this weekend at the engagement...

oh!

Oh, God, I knew this
was going to happen.

Let me see.

Look at your little outfit.

Don't call it a little outfit.

- Aw, you look so cute.
- Look at that man costume.

No, I mean, you look very
strong and very tough.

Yeah, it's manly,
it's intimidating.

- A little pale.
- Thanks.

I believed you that time.

I love you.

I love you.

Okay, okay,
you can see my picture.

Oh, gosh, it's one
of the worst ever.

It's on this page, there it is.

- Aww.
- I picked out that jacket.

The thing is, you look
exactly the same.

- No, I don't.
- Yes you do.

- No, I don't.
- And then I can see

it's taken you ten years
just to grow this in that much.

But besides that, you look
exactly the same, wow.

I look like
a completely different person.

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

Let me see your superlatives.

"Best eyes."
I don't know who...

obviously.
Oh, here's your quote,

"and now before us,
lie deserts of vast eternity."

That's pretty.

That's from an Andrew marvel
poem, I ripped it off.

- I like it.
- I... thanks.

- Cutest couple.
- Yeah.

- With Kirsten Mattai.
- Kirsten, yeah.

Oh, sorry, Kirsten.

No, no, that's all right,
no, no, that's fine.

Dude, let's see her.

Uh, okay, let's see.

- Where?
- There she is.

Oh, hmm.

Yeah, so, anyway,
that's Kirsten.

It's a shame about her face,
because it's not pretty.

And it's not gorgeous.

Well, you're right, not
as pretty as you, definitely.

How long were you guys...
it was a long one, right?

Uh, it was six years, yup.

- Six years?
- Yeah.

I thought
it was just high school.

No, junior, senior year,
then all through college.

And then that was enough.

Yeah, no, she was, like,
my only serious girlfriend,

um, until you.

And then you guys will get
a chance to meet this weekend.

Won't that be so much fun
and not awkward at all.

No, it will be,
I'm excited to meet her.

Is that one of those
things that you're...

utilizing sarcasm again?

No, I'm excited to meet her.

- You are?
- Yeah.

Oh, okay.

Why don't you show me
some wrestling moves

so I can pin her
when I see her!

- Let's see.
- Wrestle a bit? All right.

Oh, pin me, oh, I can't move.

Okay, I'm going
to spice this up,

make a little
psychedelic version.

Should I be frightened?

- You're going to like it.
- Okay.

Hey, I want to talk
to you about this dawes thing.

What dawes thing?

Well, I was online and
I read a bunch of interviews,

and these guys were inspired
by a lot of the folk...

apparently my brother
wants to have a conversation.

- Hey, lily, sorry.
- Just bear with us.

Bob Dylan, Crosby, stills,
Nash and young, and I think

they would love vibe
here at the luncheonette.

- Uh, of course they would.
- Well let's get them in here.

Everyone would love the vibe
here, we have a great studio.

Well, let's get them in here,
let's make it happen.

I don't know them, know them.

I've only met them
a couple times.

Well, that's enough
of a relationship to reach out.

- Okay.
- Crosby, the initial buzz

in this place is going
to wear off

and then where
are we going to be?

We got to be proactive, we got
to get new clients in here.

Well, I'm with
a client, right now.

I can see that.

Well, is she even
paying for the time?

Yes, in a sense,
she is paying for the time.

Yeah, well, in a sense doesn't
pay the bills, all right?

I want you to reach out, okay?

- Okay, mm-hmm.
- All right, great.

Thanks, coach.

Are you ready?

I don't know
if I'll ever be ready.

Let's do it.

Stop. Shut it down.

It's music from the future.

You did such a great
job at the fundraiser, I, uh...

I figured you would be
the perfect person

for this, uh,
kind of insane project.

Okay.

Yeah, basically I take
notes on conversations

I've had with people.
Oh.

Yeah, what we've talked about,
what's important to them,

you know, anything
that's kind of relevant.

This is kind of creepy to you,
but I meet so many people

that it's kind of become
a necessity.

And now I'm, like,
completely overwhelmed.

- Yeah.
- I could use some focus.

Or somebody to transcribe it
or something like that.

Yeah, sure, um,
I could do that.

I could also, like, load them
onto your phone or something...

that would be great.

If you can read my
chicken scratch handwriting,

go to the races.
Let's see, um, "James Stodder,

"head of the zone five
neighborhood council,

"thinks the giants are
underrated this season,

especially Pablo sandoval."
Ain't it the truth.

Now, while you might
think this is irrelevant,

you know, people, they like
to be remembered.

Next time I see James stoddard,

I will let him know that
he was right about sandoval.

- Aka panda.
- Panda.

- I'll put that in.
- Yes, thank you.

Is this, like,
politician skeevy or...

no, I mean, it is,
but just enough.

Actually I was just worrying
about what stupid thing

I said that's going to make
it on my post-it.

No, no, Amber you're not
in here because these are people

that I'd otherwise forget.

You're not in that category.

- Oh, that's me.
- First one, good luck.

All right, here we go.

Bob little's office,
this is Amber speaking.

That's nice.

Uh, let me check if he's
available, please hold.

I don't know
how to tell you this,

but it's your mom.

Well, this is totally
embarrassing.

I'm going to give
you some privacy.

No, please do not,
she's just calling,

I'm sure, to nag me
for something.

If I make a...

You will have a very
important meeting, yes.

You got it.

Mom, how you doing?

You know, I have not
called grandma, but I can

assure you that I will be doing
it before the end of the day.

Okay, here you are.
Thank you.

Okay, what did you want
to talk to me about?

Uh, Joe asked
me to move in with him.

That's, uh, that's pretty big.

Yeah.

Uh, what about Jabbar?

Obviously that's something
you and I need to discuss.

Are you asking
my permission or...

no, no.

Just opening it up
for discussion.

Well, that's a...
a lot of change, you know.

We have moved him around
a whole lot, the last year.

My opinion, I...
you know, I don't know.

Yeah, I... I hear you.

But the house
is in the Berkeley hills,

so he'd still be close
to his friends and to school

and the house is actually
right up the street

from that great park
with, you know, soccer...

so you already found a house?

Why are we even
having this conversation?

Well, I didn't find
the house, Joe found the house.

And I haven't said yes yet.

He's been looking
to buy for a while.

And whether or not
I'm included in this house

is still up for discussion,
that's why I'm here.

Because I didn't want
to make a decision

without talking to you first.

Well, you know, you could
have started by saying,

"we found a house."

Because you did find
a house, right? You guys...

Crosby, I'm just trying
to have an adult conversation

here about this.

That's all.
Okay, okay.

That's fine.

Look, I know this
is a lot to process.

So, take some time,
think about it,

I'll do the same,

and we'll come back together
in a couple of days.

And talk about it, okay?

Okay.

So is it, uh,
is it nice, the house?

It's, um...
it's nice.

You're not Zoey.

Gus.
What can I get you?

Where's Zoey?

Oh, you mean the girl
that had the job before me.

No idea.

All I know is I'm your
regular coffee guy, now.

So do you want anything?

No, no, thank you.

- Hey.
- Oh, my God!

You scared the pants off of me.

Listen, I am sorry.

I didn't even know
you were still here.

Well, you know, when it's quiet

and late at night,
it seems like the only

time I can ever
get any work done.

- My heart.
- I didn't mean to scare you.

What was so funny?

Just all of these notes.
I mean, they're really funny.

It's amazing.

I feel like I can see
the world through your eyes.

Like, this...
but this guy look,

afraid of jacuzzis.

I mean, what is there
to be afraid of?

Getting overly relaxed?

A lot of chlorine
in those sorts of things.

- Ah, yes, germs.
- I don't even remember

meeting that guy.

What? How could you
forget about jacuzzi guy?

Yeah, well, you know,
they all kind of...

Blend together.

Like in a jacuzzi.

Well, if you don't remember
jacuzzi guy,

there is absolutely no way
you remember meeting me.

Oh...

I remember meeting you.

It was right over there
by the copy machine.

It was a Thursday morning,
it was your first day.

I think you were
wearing something

a bit more professional
than you are now.

You were giving me
a pretty hard time about

trying to get in a few
quick copies in between

your major copying session.

- Mm-hmm.

- See, no notes for you.
- Mm-hmm.

I think I also remember
talking a lot,

because I get a little chatty
when I get nervous.

Why were you nervous?

Because...

I get nervous...

Around you.

And I just feel the need

to keep talking
and talking and...

well, mystery solved.

Yeah, I mean,
at least she left a note.

Yeah, such economy with words.

Julia, you want
to talk about this?

No, there's nothing
to talk about. She moved out.

And we have our room back.

Nice to have the space.

- Hon.
- Yeah.

It's going to be okay.

No, it's not going to be okay.

Joel, she moved out.
She quit her job.

Why would she do that?

I don't know, maybe she
just needed some separation.

You know, maybe she needed to
make peace with this decision.

She wants to keep the baby.
She's freaking out.

It's okay.

It turns out that
dawes is checking into

the Chamberlain hotel.

Dawes is checking...
how do you know

that dawes is checking into
the Chamberlain hotel?

Fan tweeted about it.

Listen.
That's pretty creepy.

Yeah, well,
it's good intel for us.

Just listen to me,
okay, you told me

that you're not comfortable
calling them.

But I figure, you're probably
comfortable enough

for us to stage
a random bump-in

at the hip bar
there at the Chamberlain.

What do you say?

And then, you're joking,
this is a joke?

What, do you have
a better idea?

We've got to keep
the business moving here.

Yeah, uh,
respect their privacy.

That's a good start
for a working relationship.

Crosby, come on, man, this
is just about doing business.

That's all this is.
This isn't...

I don't want to do business
like this.

You know what the problem is?

You don't have any
business experience.

You have to go after clients.
I did not go to wharton, okay?

But I've played monopoly,
and I don't remember

a square on the board that says

"stalk future clients"

or "screw over ex-bosses."

Monopoly is a game.
This is real business.

We are going
after a client, okay?

It is sink or swim
time for us, and I am tossing

and turning over
this stuff every night.

I've got a daughter
who's going away to college.

I've got a son with special
needs, I got a baby...

I got to keep this business
going and make money.

This place isn't going
to succeed on its own, Crosby.

Okay? We have
to make it succeed.

Do you get that?
Yeah.

You got to man up. You're
a co-owner in this business.

Start acting like it.

Hey, hi, good morning,
how are you?

- Hey, sunshine.
- Just going to jump

right in to work here.
How you doing?

Fine, yeah, just fine,
you know.

Yeah, I heard your first day
went wonderfully well.

Bob said that you did
some amazing things for him,

so I'm really happy
to hear that.

I was a little bit uneasy
at first, but I think

it's going to work out great.

- Great.
- Yeah.

- Good morning, Kristina.
- Good morning, how are you?

- Amber.
- Hi.

Doing okay.

Great.

Sounds good.
So, you need anything?

Are you good?

- I should be just fine.
- Okay.

Keep up the good work.
All right.

How about this?

Let's see.

Huh?
A little red?

Turn around, turn around,
turn around.

- I never wear red.
- It's cute.

- Yeah?
- Oh, yeah, is it lace?

Yeah.

That works
for an engagement party

no, no, this isn't
for the engagement party,

this would be for drinks.

- Oh.
- For drinks tonight.

You know what?
It's too much.

It makes me hot.
I don't like it.

Huh, for drinks,
what's the big deal?

Because, mom, I'm meeting
his friends for the first time.

So?

Well, it's a big deal,
I just...

you know, want to look...
I want to look nice.

You're great the way
you are, just be yourself.

Mom, I'm not great
the way I am,

all I do is just
wear black, and it's not...

be yourself.
You're a beautiful woman.

You always look beautiful,
mark loves you the way you are,

they're going to love you
that way too.

Such a big deal out of it.

Mom, it is a big deal,
this is...

what?

A serious relationship.

Are you guys talking
about getting married?

We're talking about
lots of things.

What other things?

You know.

No, I don't know.
What?

Are you guys talking
about having a baby?

Yeah.

Really?

Wow.

™ş

see, it's a Hawaiian theme.

The disco ball is as well.

- Uh-huh, uh-huh,
uh-huh.

- Where are they?
- Mark! Look at this guy.

Mark the shark from menlo park!

This is, uh, this is Sarah.

- Hi.
- Hi, Sarah.

- How are you?
- Wow.

Oh, sorry, this is Tai.

- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.

- Nikki, Nate, Justin.
- Hi, Sarah.

- Hi, Justin?
- Yes.

Wow, what a grip.
Mitch and Kirsten.

- Oh, hi.
- Hey.

Kirsten.

Oh, I've heard
so much about you,

nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.

Hi, everybody, all right.

- You guys look good too.
- Nice sweater, buddy.

Who picked that one out?
Sorry we're a little late.

All right, Sarah,
get comfortable.

Because we're going to tell you
some great shark tales.

- Oh, yeah.
- I'm sure.

Don't worry, mark
was like the sweetest.

I should have told you,
I'm mark the shark.

Least rebellious guy ever.
Justin's got nothing.

Uh, it's good to see you.

Thank you so much
for that Christmas card

by the way, that looks amazing.

I can't believe
you finally did it.

- It was life-changing.
- Yeah, he's from, uh,

Oakland, he grew up there.
Yeah, I can't even imagine.

- What was life-changing?
- Kirsten, sorry...

Kirsten spent all year training
to hike mount Kilimanjaro.

Just the...
that's what you... for a year?

That's amazing.
Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, it was incredible.

19,341 feet.

Wow, that's very, very tall.

Yeah, you guys
should try it sometime.

I mean, it was just
unbelievable.

- I've been meaning to try...
- we'll train for a year then...

no, but what about you?

Are you still going
to do Machu Picchu?

- Yes, one day, so...
- what are you talking about?

Uh, Machu Picchu.
One day I will do it.

But as far as now,
I still have a bunch

of student loans
and things like that, so...

- I hear you.
- Not yet, but one day.

You know, you're
the only person I know

who's actually doing
what they set out to do.

Did mark tell you
he's wanted to be a teacher

ever since kindergarten?
No.

I mean, who knows
what they want to do

in their life in kindergarten?

- Mark does, lucky.
- I'm a boring guy.

- You're not boring.
- Oh.

How did you two meet?

I mean, you would
have to consider it

a little bit of a scandal.
Yeah, it was.

It was at the time
a little bit.

Mark was my daughter's
teacher her sophomore year.

And now she's graduated
high school.

- Whoa.
- Very cool.

- My son is a junior.
- Two kids.

- Two kids.
- I don't teach him though.

I teach his girlfriend.

That's so great, you have kids.

- Yeah.
- It's great.

It can be great.

My older sister
just had a baby.

- That's right.
- What?

My older sister
just had a baby.

- Congratulations.
- Oh, really?

So, what did she have?

She had a girl.

Because you get
one or the other.

Do you ever see
Dave around any more?

He totally dropped off.
No.

What do you have
going on on that phone?

I'm sorry.

I'm texting Justin
and he's stupid.

But he says he likes you a lot.

- Oh.
- Mm-hmm.

Did I get
good reviews last night?

You passed the test, well,
like there was any doubt.

They were nice.

They are nice, very good folks.

It's so funny,

all the things
that I don't know.

Like what?
Shark tales?

Like you have always wanted
to climb Machu Picchu.

Oh, yeah that was just this...

something I said once.

In high-school, we were
studying the incas,

and I just thought it would
be cool to see those ruins.

It would.

What else is on your list?

Mmm...Lots of things.

There's a lot of things
I want to see.

I always wanted
to go to Morocco.

I read somewhere that
Jack kerouac always wrote

at the same bar in Morocco.

And I thought,
I want to go there,

sit and write,
see what that feels like.

Did you go?

No.

Besides going to Mexico
once on spring break,

I haven't really...

Been anywhere.

Well, then it sounds like
we have some traveling to do.

Oh, my God.

Justin is an idiot.

Oh, also, Bob asked me
to give you some notes

on your draft of his speech,
is that weird for you?

No, it's not weird.

You're working for him now,
so...

don't be mad.

- Wow, hey.
- Uh, that's weird.

Who knows, weird.
Somebody got some flowers.

- Yeah, who cares, whatever.
- Who are they from?

I don't know,
just one of those weirdoes.

Well, why don't
you open the card?

No, I'll do it later.

I'm going to go through
these notes first, okay?

- I'm opening it.
- No, no, no.

Aunt Kristina, please don't.

- I never get flowers.
- Please, please I don't...

wow. They're from Bob.

I'm just kidding,
they're from your mom.

Aww, she's so proud of you.

- That was funny.
- I know, I am funny.

Here, let me take your photo.

So I can send it to her.

Sometimes when you
hire a florist,

you never know
what you're going to get.

Ready?
Come closer.

Say cheese.

Cheese.

- Zoey, hi.
- Hey.

Where are you?
Are you all right?

Look, I'm really sorry
I fell off the grid.

I've just been dealing
with some stuff and, um,

I was having some pains
so I went to the doctor.

What... what happened?
Is everything okay?

I have something called,
"an incompetent cervix."

Pretty great, right?

Even my cervix is incompetent.

He put me on bed rest,
so I had to quit my job

and now I'm just trying
to figure everything out, so...

is there anything
I can do to help?

No, no, I can...
I got it.

I just had to apply
for disability

and do all the paperwork and...

yeah, I can...
I can help you with that.

No, it's okay.

I can handle it.

- Okay.
- Anyway, I'm going to go.

I should go, okay?

Well, Zoey, Zoey, um, just

why did you decide to move out?

Um, I mean, you're
eight months pregnant,

and, you know, it can't be easy

to deal with roommates
and rent.

Actually, my roommates
are really great

and I'm going to pay
my rent with my disability, so...

you know,
I'm just going to start

taking care of myself
for a change.

- Right, well...
- but I'll see you around.

- I gotta go.
- Zoey, Zoey...

how does it feel?
Tell me everything.

It's just a promotion, mom.

No, it's not, uh...
did you get the flowers?

They're very nice,
I'm looking at them right now.

You didn't
have to do that, mom.

Come on, Kristina
said she'd never seen

anybody get promoted that fast.

I'm so...
am so impressed.

It's honestly
not a big deal, okay?

It's just lucky.

Honey, you're special,
take that in, okay?

Honey?

Amber.

Yeah, uh, hi, sorry.

I'm just right in the middle
of something right now,

can I call you back later?

I totally understand.
Please memo me later.

- Okay, um, love you.
- I love you too, yay!

Amber, congrats
on the new position.

- Thanks.
- Bob wants to see you

in his office.

Oh, um, you know,
I was actually just leaving.

Um, I'm feeling really sick.

So could you just tell him

that I had to go home?

Yeah, okay.

Why don't you take it easy?

I'm loosening up.

Can I get another one of these?

- Yeah.
- Thank you so much.

Scotch.

Oh, showtime.

All right, listen,
I know you don't want

to do this, all right,
so thank you.

Okay.

Go get them.

Oh, hey.

Taylor, right?
Hey, man, yeah.

Crosby, right, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Griffin.

This is Tay and wylie.

Hey, guys.
How's it going?

Nice to meet you,
I'm a huge fan.

- Thank you.
- Your band is so great.

Um, what are you guys
doing here?

Just checking out the scene.

You're with, uh, Bayview
recording studios, right?

Oh, God, no,
uh, I left a few months ago.

Not a good place?

Well, uh, you know,
it wasn't for me.

It was not a good fit.

It's pretty corporate
over there.

They, uh, you know,
weren't great with fans,

all about the bottom-line.

I didn't love it, so I started
my own place, actually.

Why, what's, uh...?

We're actually considering
recording there.

Oh, okay, well, that's awkward.

I take it back then.

Well, what's the deal
over there?

Because we're, like,
minutes away

from signing the dotted line.

Yeah, we checked it
out yesterday.

We met with an engineer
named, uh, Brent, is he good?

Um, Brent.
He's a...

he's a... he's a really
good engineer.

He's, you know,
he's a good friend of mine.

He'll do a great job, I think.

Well, good luck with it.

I'm going to get back
to my brother.

- All right, man.
- Great seeing you guys.

What the hell
was that all about?

How'd it go?
I can't do it.

They met Brent
and they like him and now...

it's okay, let's get the
check, let's get out of here.

All right, thank you
for doing that.

Excuse me.
Hey, guys.

Hey, I don't mean
to bug you guys.

Um, but it seemed like maybe
there was something

you weren't saying back there.

Which I respect, not talking
trash another studio.

But this album's
really important to us.

We were wondering if we could
maybe buy you a drink.

Uh...

Hey, how you doing?
I'm Adam.

- Taylor.
- I'm Crosby's business partner.

How you doing?
I'm a big fan, guys.

Thank you.

Yeah, we got time
for a quick one.

Let's close out this check
and grab a table, all right?

All right.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I, uh, I heard
you weren't feeling well.

So I thought
I'd bring some soup.

I don't know if I can...

Do this...

And work for you.

I don't know.

You know, my aunt gave me
this incredible opportunity,

and I have to be careful.
Amber.

Also, I have to ask you.

Did you give me this job

because you thought
I would be good at it,

or because you want
to sleep with me?

You are smart and you are funny

and you think for yourself.

That's why
I gave you the job, Amber.

And to be honest,
that's why I kissed you.

You are tough,

but you have this
vulnerability about you

that is just incredible.

So I hope you will
come back to work.

And not walk away from this.

Try the soup.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You did it.

- Uh-oh.

You made it.

Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.

Did you take a cab?
What...

oh, you're coming here?
Here, no, don't get up.

Here, how about...
oh, yes, please.

- Much better.
- Oh, I like this.

Yeah, I take it tonight
didn't go so well.

No, we did a good...

we got dawes.
Ah.

Victory is ours.

Did you take Bart here?

Hey, I'm sorry you had
to do something

that made you
feel uncomfortable.

Hmm. It's okay.

It's just part
of being an adult.

You know, you have to do things
that you don't want to do.

Like, horrible things.

Like drink scotch.
You know,

when you're an adult, you have
to drink scotch, and it sucks.

- It sucks.
- And so does...

so does selling
your friends out, that sucks.

Pretending you don't care
your ex-fiancee's moving in

with her boyfriend sucks,
it all sucks, really.

Jasmine's moving in with Joe?

Yeah, it's not going
to last, I know it.

So original, Joe too,
he bought her a house.

I mean, is... is...
I hope he bought insurance,

because I bought her
a house before

and she still broke my heart.

So, good luck, Joe.

You're really nice, lilly.

Since I saw you this morning,
I've been reading up

on kerouac because I, um...

you told me he spent
some time in Morocco and

embarrassingly enough,
as an English teacher,

I did not know that.

But then, I found out
that William S. Burroughs

lived in Morocco too,
did you know that?

I did.

We should do that.

Just leave the country
for a year,

be an expat for awhile,
we could go to Morocco

and rent a cheap,
little apartment.

And you could work
on your writing.

I could, uh, I don't know.

Can you pull the car over?

Can you pull over?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You okay?

Sarah, what's going on?

You're making me nervous.

I'm 40.

- I-I know.

I'm afraid if we wait,

it'll be too late.

If we want a baby,
we have to do it now.

And I don't want
to put that pressure on you.

I don't want to feel
like I'm wrecking your dreams.

You're not.

You should go
to Morocco if you want to go.

I don't need to go
to Morocco, I just was...

I'm... I'm ready.

I don't need to do
any of that other stuff.

I love you.

And if we have to have
a baby now,

then let's do it.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Maybe not right now.

™ş if I stop too long
to think ♺

♺

♺ nothing good
can come from that... ♺

- hi.
- Good morning, Amber.

How are you?

I'm good.

Good enough
to dive right back in?

Absolutely.

™ş nothing is gonna bring
us down ♺

♺

thought you were supposed
to be on bed rest?

Yeah, well,
my assistant took the day off.

What are you
going to do, right?

- Here.
- Oh, I got it, it's fine.

No, no,
that's all right, come on.

So, I guess Julia told you

about the incompetent
cervix thing?

But seriously,
I'm fine, you know.

So, thanks for stopping by.

Hey, look, look.

Julia doesn't know I'm here.

But there's a question
I got to ask you.

And my wife's too scared to,

but I'm too scared not to.

Okay.

Are you changing
your mind about the baby?

- No.
- No?

- No.
- You're sure? Just be honest.

It's going to be hard,
but if, I mean,

if we could go much further
into this, my wife is just

going to... it's going
to tear her apart, Zoey.

Okay, well, I'm not
changing my mind.

Okay, then what is it?
What is it?

Why'd you move out?

Because I need my own space.

This is why I wanted
a closed adoption

in the first place,
and I told her that.

I need my own space.
I need to be separate.

The baby's going to come
and then what?

- I understand.
- Do you?

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine.

Here, just...
here's some...

here's 30 bucks.

I don't need your money, okay?

Just take it anyway, would you?

I'm going to be fine.
I promise.

Daddy!

Hey, how are you, little man?

Good.

How are you, little man's mom?

I'm good, you mind
if I come in for a minute?

Yeah, you don't
have to ask. Come on in.

Sweetie, can you go play
so I can talk to your dad?

Okay, mommy.

House looks good.

Thank you, I, uh, finally
got around to decorating it.

Or rather, my mom decorated it.

Same difference... I can't take
credit for the throw pillows.

Those are nice.
Pottery barn?

You know, I'm not sure.

Is that what you came over
to talk about, pottery barn?

- No.
- What's up?

I want to move in with him.

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah, okay.

Anything else?

Um, congratulations.

That's not what I mean.

Look, you know how I feel
about yanking Jabbar around.

So, if you're saying it's
serious, I trust you.

Uh, we still have
some work left to do.

There's a 30-day escrow,
so I was thinking about

holding off on telling him

until we're closer
to the move-in date.

You know how hard it is
for him to process things

until they're happening.
Right.

That's a good idea.

- Okay.
- All right.

Well, thanks for, uh,
being mature about this.

You're wel...
oh, I have something for you.

Hold on one second.

Is this a door knob?

Yeah, but these are the ends
of a ballet bar that I found.

I made it for you
when I was redoing the house

but, um, I never got around
to putting it on the door.

So, if you like it...
I love it.

Well, think of it
as a housewarming gift.
