Parenthood (2010–2015): Season 3, Episode 3 - Step Right Up - full transcript

We should go into business
together, you and me.

I think I might wanna do this
with you.

To the luncheonette.
Partners.

Partners.

I was drinking
at the party.

There was a misunderstanding.

Zach pushed Alex.
Alex punched him.

The family is gonna press
charges of assault and battery.

It's not my first offense.

Oh, my God.
Are you pregnant?

I don't really know
what to say about it,



Because I'm not keeping it.

Would you ever consider
letting me adopt your baby?

No.

A very wise choice.

Four bucks.

You look stunning.

And no stains,
no rips or anything.

Three dollars,
everything on this rack.

Hey, Dad, none of this stuff
has prices on it.

How much is the chicken?

Ooh, oh.
Excuse me!

Excuse me, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.

Did you just get those?

This is a mistake.
These belong to my daughter.



- Hey, Sarah?
- What?

What are you doing?
I just sold those.

Mom, these are Amber's.

- No, she brought over a box.
- No, mom.

Filled with stuff
that she doesn't want anymore.

She doesn't want it.
My daughter's moving out,

and it's just confusing,
like, which stuff is what,

but I'll get your money back.

Hey.

You like, like, old records?

Yeah.
Yeah, I do.

- Nice.
- Yeah.

You guys have a lot of '80s,
which is awesome.

Yeah, there's a bunch.
It's all my dad's.

He's, like, a musician so...

- Really?
- Yeah.

I mean, he's not, like, on
iTunes or anything, you know.

He tours around
and whatnot so...

Cool.

Hi.

Amy?

- Yeah.
- Amy Ellis, right?

- Yeah.
- Hi, Zeek Braverman.

Hi.

You know, I have
the clearest memory of you.

You were a little girl,

you wrecked your bike
out here in front.

The chain came off,
and I helped you put it back on.

Yes.
I do remember that.

And it was raining.

Oh, you bet your ass.
Cats and dogs, yeah.

So how are your folks doing?

They're good.
Yeah, they're good.

Always liked your dad.
He was a 49ers fan, right?

- Yes.
- Yeah.

- Still is.
- Dad!

Dad.
Hi.

- How much is this?
- Hi.

Yeah, well, you tell him hi,
would you?

Yep, I will.

So these are quarter apiece,
right?

- Yep, pretty much.
- Okay.

Oh, no.

Hey, you know what,
take the whole crate.

I mean, it's just
cluttering up my garage.

I mean, unless you find
some Grateful Dead in there.

Just kidding.
No problem.

That's awesome.
Thank you.

You bet.

Okay, well, I guess
I'll see you around.

- Oh, Drew. Drew.
- Bye.

- Bye.
- Bye, Amy.

- Please, don't.
- Amy Ellis.

- I'm aware.
- Mm-hmm.

You look weird.

Tell me something.

Does--does this hurt?

Ow.
Yeah.

Oh, wow.

Well, then I gotta ask you

a very serious
medical question, Jabbar.

Have you been farting
a lot lately?

I try to hold it in.

Yeah, right.
Like a circus elephant.

Well, I am so sorry
for your stinkiness,

but I think I know
what this is.

It's probably a wheat allergy.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- For real?
- Mm-hmm.

Joint tenderness,
excessive gas,

Urticaria, which is--

it's really just a fancy term
for the rash on his shins.

What do we have to do for
that, you know, treatment-wise?

- You avoid wheat.
- Oh.

And you guys
are probably gonna want

to keep a dietary log
of pretty much

everything that he eats
for the next 30 days.

- He'll be all right.
- Okay.

Hey, not to
sound skeptical,

but a wheat allergy,
it seems like, you know,

it's like the snuggies
of diseases.

Everyone has one
this year.

Yeah, I know
it's become really popular,

but it's something
I've been diagnosing

for the past ten years,

so, you know what,
we'll try this.

If it doesn't work,
we'll try something else.

Right.

Sorry, doctor,
he gets like this sometimes.

No, it's okay. I've seen
couples do a lot worse.

Oh, no.
We're not together.

I'll try not to throw up.

Make that known.

Anyway, I really appreciate
you seeing us very much.

Oh, it's no problem
at all.

Hey, listen,
let me give you my card.

Oh, great.

Well, if you need to ask
any questions,

just feel free to call me
any time really.

My service will page me.

Great.
Thanks.

You're welcome.

You got a second card
for dad or...

Yeah.

Just give me a second.

♪ ♪

Knock, knock.

- Hi.
- Your door is open.

Yeah, I know.

To all the murderers
and felons in the--

in the building, probably.

Well, I leave it open, Mom.

Oh, I know, I know.
It's okay.

What you doin'?

Just hanging out.

You know, living.
Living life.

Well, it's looking, uh...

Very, um...Homey.

Great.
Okay, that's a step up

from disgusting
and depressing.

Do you wanna go get
a coffee or something?

I work at a coffee shop.

Kinda takes the magic out of
having a fun cup of coffee.

Yeah, okay.

Oh, um, so mom and dad
had this garage sale,

which is a whole other story,

and I look over,

look what mom
was trying to sell.

- I gave those to her.
- You didn't.

- I did.
- Amber, you just wore--

I have, you know, not that
much space so I just...

Oh, that's okay.
I just thought I was...

Thanks though.
That's a nice thought.

Yeah, it's okay.

All right, honey, well,

things are looking good.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

- I'll see you later.
- Okay.

Do your dishes
so you don't get roaches.

I was--that's what
I came over to mainly say.

That's very kind.
I appreciate it.

Have a good day.
Okay, you too.

Oh, you don't--
you want this like this?

- Mom!
- I know, okay.

I'll see you later.

Honey, I'm just trying
to process this.

Where are you gonna get
the money from?

I told you, we have
a solid business plan--

Kristina, this is gonna be
a little cold at first, okay?

Okay, I got a solid
relationship with Liberty.

It's all gonna happen.
I understand that.

Let's just try not
to worry about it, okay?

What if you guys
got the loan

then you sign the lease,
you know?

Honey, we haven't
signed anything yet.

I understand that,

but you have
a great business sense.

Your brother Crosby,
not really.

He's a good engineer.
People like him.

You gotta trust me on this one.
It's a good idea.

And we need
a good idea right now.

Yeah, we do because
we're about to have a baby.

Speaking of which.

We gotta think
about all this stuff.

- Your baby's looking great.
- Really?

Right where we want it be
at eight months, uh-huh.

Good.
Man, did that go by fast.

- For who?
- We just got pregnant so--

Honey.

And we're on target
for your due date as well.

- Good.
- Yep, a month away.

- Yep.
- That's wonderful.

Do you guys still not wanna
know the sex of the baby?

I don't know.
We sort of--

No, I do.
It's just a--it's a--

There's--we have a--

Complicated issue for us.

Yeah, I mean,
we have a son

that has Asperger's.

And so if it's a girl
the chances are lower, right?

But it's your call.

All right.

- Yeah, you sure?
- Yep.

Okay, let me get an image,
and I'm gonna freeze it.

And there we go.

There you go.

Take a look at your
beautiful baby girl.

- Oh, thank you.
- It's a girl.

Thank you.
It's a girl, good.

- Yeah.
- Good.

Are you sure it's a girl?

It's a girl.

Do you wanna hear
her heartbeat?

- I do.
- Yeah?

- It's a girl.
- It's a girl.

Morning, honey.

Mmm.

Hi.

What's the matter?

Mmm.

I just don't wanna
go into work today

because I don't know
what to say to Zoe.

Huh?
Can't be that bad.

Well, I hardly know her,
and I asked her for her baby.

So it might be pretty bad.

Oh, I'm a crazy person.

- Hmm.
- I mean, it's official.

I've lost my mind.

Now would be the time to say,
"No, you haven't."

No, you haven't.
Sorry, I was supposed to--

would you believe it though?

So, um, this girl Amy,

you kinda like her?

Yeah, I guess so.

Gonna ask her out?

I don't know.
What am I supposed to say?

Well, I had an idea.

I borrowed her dad's
hedge clippers last summer,

and all you gotta do
is you take them back

and while you're there,
ask her out.

How am I supposed
to do that?

You just find something
that you both have in common.

Like, you like music,
don't you?

You ask her about the old
records that she took.

Did she like them?
Did she play any of them?

What song did she
like the best?

Or, you know,
that kind of thing.

I guess.

And maybe say
something nice to her.

You know, like,
compliment her

about her hair, clothes,
anything.

She's gonna think
I'm a kiss-ass.

No, not if
you do it right.

Not if you do it
in a casual manner

and if you mean it.

All right,
I got an idea.

You know, like,
"I was surfing the web, Amy,

"and guess what.

"Simon and Garfunkel
are coming to town.

I thought maybe
we'd get some tickets."

They're practically dead.
They're not on tour.

Simon and Garfunkel
aren't dead.

They'll live forever.
It's not the point.

- Whoever's coming to town.
- Yeah, I get the point but--

So it's connect,
compliment,

and close.

It's a very beautiful dance.

Very cosmic, spiritual.

Give you an example.

Uh, miss.

Excuse me.
No.

Just could I have
your help here?

Grandpa, please don't.
She's gonna think you're a perv.

- No, she's won't.
- Is everything okay?

Yeah, hi.
How you doing, Sandy?

Yeah.

Those are beautiful earrings.

Oh, thank you.
Yeah, I made these.

- Oh, you did?
- Yeah.

Oh, wow.

Well, anyway, we were having
a slight disagreement.

He says that
the San Francisco earthquake

occurred in 1916,
and I said 1906.

Oh, it was 1906.

1906.

Whoops.
Don't feel bad.

There's this picture over there
by the cash register,

and I have to look at it
every single day, so...

- I see.
- Really? Where's that?

It's right over there.
Right when you walk in.

Yeah, check it out.

Yeah, it's actually
a cool picture.

Yeah, I'll have
to take a look at that.

- Yeah, mm-hmm.
- Thanks, Sandy.

You're welcome.

Can I get you
some more coffee?

Yes, as long
as it's hazelnut.

I'm really enjoying it.

It goes great
with everything I'm having.

I know, right?
It's so good.

Thank you.

Okay, there you go.

You didn't ask her out.

Didn't have to.
It's in the bag, man.

That's some
low-hanging fruit, son.

That's too easy,
so to speak.

Patrick?

I have your coffee.

Thanks, man.

- Hey.
- Hi.

- How's it going?
What--what are you doing here?

I just came to see you.
You look so cute.

Oh, thanks.

I love this uniform,
and I came for some coffee.

- Cool, okay.
- It's busy.

Yeah, really busy.

Really stressed out right now.
What should I get?

Uh, how 'bout
an iced coffee?

- Okay, iced coffee.
- Great, thank you.

That sounds very refreshing.

Oh, I brought your mail.

- It's exciting.
- Oh, Lands' End.

That's really exciting.
Thanks.

For your home,
for your new home.

Mom was trying to get
everybody together on Sunday

for, like, a big dinner.

Do you think
you could do that?

- I don't know right now.
- Okay.

But I'll think about it,
okay?

- Yeah.
- Here you go.

Okay.

So, okay,
that's $2.50, please.

Two.

Right.
Oh, boy.

- There you go.
- Great. Thanks.

Oh, wait,
can I get a banana?

Banana's on me,
how 'bout that?

- Sure you don't want this?
- Mom, can you just

bring it tomorrow
when you probably stop by?

Or the next day
when I'm sure you'll come by?

Okay, I'm sorry, I just
can't hang out right now.

I love you.
I'll see you later.

Hey, how can I help you?

- Hi.
- Hey.

How's it going?

It's going.

Come in.

I've been calling you.

I know.

And I'm sorry,
I should've called you back.

It's my bad.

Yeah, I don't know.
What's going on?

There's just a lot
going on with me.

I have a lot
on my plate right now.

- I know.
- That's all.

Okay.

I know all that
stuff's going on.

I'm here for you, okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

I was thinking also,

you're gonna go back
to the lawyer.

I could go with you.
It might be helpful.

No, no, you can't.

I just feel like
I was there.

I can give
an accurate account.

You were there,
you saw what happened.

You're a witness
in the case.

You can't meet
with me and my lawyer, okay?

It's confidential.

- Okay.
- It's a conflict of interest.

Yeah, okay, I get it.
I didn't know.

I know you didn't.
You're not supposed--

you shouldn't have to,
all right?

Haddie, you live in
a completely different world

than I do, all right?

I have real problems.

My problems.

And I have to deal with them
on my own without you.

Do you get that?

Yeah.

I'm sorry that it has
to be like that,

but that's just the way--
that's just the way it is.

So please, don't bring
that up again, all right?

Okay.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hey.

What's the matter?

I just left Alex's.

Yeah?
How's he doin'?

I don't know.

Hey.

Hey, come here.

It's gonna be all right.

Mm-hmm.

♪ what'll I say
without you to talk to ♪

♪ no one to serve
or volley the ball to ♪

Hi.
Yes, well, um...

You know,
consent is a fact issue.

So you will not get
summary judgment,

but if you--exactly.

If you talk to your client--

yeah, I'll see what I can do
about a counterclaim.

I look forward
to talking to you too.

I've already made his lunches
for the next two days,

so you don't have
to worry about that.

And this is for the morning

in case he wants cereal.

It's got rice flour in it.

- Rice flour?
- Mm-hmm.

- There's such a thing?
- Yes, there is.

Oh, don't forget
his food journal.

You have to write everything
down in it even if it's a snack.

We are not seriously
gonna write everything down

in a food journal.

Yeah, we are.
Why wouldn't we?

Will you put your shoes on,
buddy?

- Let's go.
- Okay.

Um, I don't know because
Dr. Joe might be a quack.

I mean, you're acting
like everything he said

came straight out
of God's mouth.

He's a doctor,
and he's written three books.

So I think he might know
a thing or two about--

Dr. Joe's
written three books.

And he's in a club with all
the other first name doctors.

Dr. Phil and Dr. Jay.

Do you know how hard it was
to get an appointment with him?

- How hard?
- Like, really hard.

He's got 200 people
on his waiting list.

So if he's
such a hot shot

and there's such
a waiting list,

then how did we
even get in?

My mom.
She made the referral.

She sent a picture of you
over there?

Didn't have to.

All right, hey,
you can't bring that.

Put that on here.

Put your backpack on.

Boom.

You know there's
wheat in beer.

- Really?
- Yeah.

So?

So when he's at
his first keg party,

he's gonna be the weirdo
in the sweater vest

sipping on chardonnay
in the corner.

That's on you,
just so you know.

Bye.

Hey.

Hi.

Hi, sweetie.

Mmm, what's this?

Sugar cookies
for the baby shower.

And they get pink icing.

Mmm.
You've done it again.

So good.
Delish.

I'm gonna go do some laundry.
Is that okay?

- Yeah.
- Help yourself.

Hey, uh,
just so you know,

there's another load
of your stuff.

It's all folded
and everything.

Great. Thanks.

And I was gonna
bring it over,

but then I didn't.

Okay, let's let it go.

See you soon.
Oh, and sorry.

Just one more thing.

In case you didn't get
anything for the baby shower,

there's
a dinosaur-shaped rattle,

and there's
one of those towels

that makes the baby
look like a panda.

I hate those.

But it doesn't really matter
because I can't come.

So you could just put
my name on whatever.

So, wait,
you can't come?

No, I have a shift.

So I already talked
to Aunt Kristina.

It's all good.
See you soon.

Just so you know,
I had a shift

and I shifted it
right around.

That's amazing.
Do you want an award maybe?

Well, I'll work on that.

No, no, no,
I don't want an award.

It's just, you know,
you can change your shift.

Pfft.

You know, she's acting
like I've been there so much.

How many times you been over
since she left?

I've been there three times.

Well, three times
is really a lot.

It's half a week, you know.

Three is way less
than half a week.

A week is seven days.

What are you afraid of?

You think if you let her go,
she's not gonna come back?

If I didn't go over there,
I don't think she would.

I let you go.

You came back.

- Hey, um--
- Hey.

Drew from down the street.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

- Okay, sorry.
- What's up?

Um, nothing I was just--

how were the records?

- Oh, well, they're great.
- Nice.

I mean, I tried
the first few,

and they were
kind of scratched but...

- Oh, sorry.
- No, no, no, it's okay.

I mean, I'll try the others.
I'm sure they're fine.

I guess you get
what you pay for, right?

Well, they were free.

Um, hey, I know this
is really, really random,

but Fleet Foxes,
if you even like them,

are playing at the Fox
in Oakland.

Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I know.

Yeah, actually I saw them

last weekend
with my cousin

in Santa Barbara.

Okay.

Cool.
Never mind.

Yeah, they were great.
They were so amazing.

It was such
an incredible show.

I've heard they're
really good live.

Yeah, well, they are,
so...

Um...

So, um...

Are you doing
some gardening or...

Um, no, I'm not.

Um, apparently my grandfather

borrowed these from your dad.

So I was supposed
to return them.

- Oh.
- I'll just put them--

Wait, wait.

- Whoa.

Hey!
Drew.

Hold it.

Wait it a minute.
Hold it.

How'd it go?

What?
How did what go?

The thing with Amy Ellis.

You know,
you old conversation.

I didn't go well.

Hold on.
What happened?

The records that
we gave her were scratched,

and she's already
seen Fleet Foxes somehow,

and I didn't even
compliment her

or say anything really

because I was standing there
with hedge clippers

the whole time,

which I had forgotten about.

And then I finally
tried to give them to her,

and her dog ran away.

- Oh, wow.
- So thanks.

Well, no, hey!

We lost the battle.
We didn't lose the war.

We just reload,
we fire again, son.

That was the scariest
thing I've ever done,

and it went horribly.

I mean, her dog
is probably dead,

and it's my fault.

So there's no way
she's gonna date me

or go out with me.

Oh, please, I don't think
her dog is dead.

Let's go looking
for the dog.

We find the dog,
we bring the dog back,

we're heroes, huh?

Come on!

Alex.

Is everything okay?

You tell me.

Come on in.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Excuse the--the mess.

Can I, uh--

- It's a nice place.
- Can I get--thanks.

Can I get you
something to drink or--

No, I'm good.

So you talked to Haddie?

I did.

She told you
about my past?

She did.

Mr. Braverman,

I will never do
anything like that again.

It was--
I was in a rough spot.

And I'm sorry.

Well, listen, you don't have
to apologize to me.

Yes, I do.

Okay, well, listen,
I didn't come here for that.

You want me
to stop seeing Haddie?

Listen, I don't know

exactly what to do,

but I'm here because
you don't have--

well, you're on your own.

Kristina and I discussed it,

and we would like
to offer our help.

Thank you.

I just don't think there's
anything that you guys can do.

I'm 20 years old, black,

and I hit a white teenager.

I have a record.

Now I have an assault
and battery charge.

Right.

I'm in a lot of trouble,
Mr. Braverman.

Hello?

What is this?

Oh, my God.

Hi.

Mom, can you come over here?

There's something making noise.

Can you just come, please?

Okay, okay.

Oh.

Oh, my God.
What are you doing?

- Did you walk here?
- No.

- What took you so long?
- You don't even have shoes on.

I know, I'm freezing!

Was it that scary?

Yes, there's
something walking.

Well, let's
just go in there

and see, you know,
what's going on.

- Yeah, let's just be cas.
- Here.

Just give it to me.

Okay, okay.

- Ready?
- Ready.

One, two...

Okay, no sudden movements.

Okay, okay, okay, shh.

- I'm not scared.
- Oh, my God.

Eww, eww, eww.

I'm scared.

Look at this place.
It's such a mess.

You know what,
can we save it for later?

You leave all this crap out.

Yeah, okay,
thanks, Mom.

Great teamwork.

It could be in these boxes.

It could be anywhere.

It's, like,
so messy in here.

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

I don't know what to do.
Oh, my God.

It's standing!

It's standing up!

No, no, no, no.

Oh, my God!

That was the hugest rat
I've ever seen.

We just got back from
South Carolina.

I'm a bit of a Civil War buff.
We went together.

- Let's try to put it over here.
- Oh, I know.

It was wonderful
because we were able to have

some time alone.
Oh, that's so cute.

Oh, my God.
Oh, hang on one second.

I have a phone--
I have to take a--

- I'm going.
- Hey, honey.

I know.
I'll be right back.

Okay, say hi
to Glenn and Laura.

Hey, babe.
Huh?

- Hi.
- Hi.

How are you holding up?

I'm good.
How are you?

Are you drunk?

I'm allowed one glass.

To get through this crap, I'm
allowed a glass of champagne.

All right, yeah.

So thank you
for being here.

Of course, I'm here.

What do you think,
I'm not gonna show up?

Maybe.
I don't know.

Of course I'm here.

Cal just scored.

Who cares?

- 17-10.
- Who cares?

Drew, what's going on?

Grandpa tells me
you got your eye

on a girl
here in the neighborhood.

- What's the scoop?
- Yep, I'm sure he did.

It's not one of the Nussbaums,
is it?

- Mmmm!
- Ow!

What was that for?

You guys remember
Suzy Nussbaum?

- No.
- Suzy was way into me.

She was crazy about me.

She's not a Nussbaum.

Her name's Amy,
and she doesn't like me at all.

So...

And the Internet's dead,
so...

All right,
he's sensitive.

I get it.
Sorry.

Sorry.

Did you take
the Internet out too?

Hey.

Hey, buddy.
Hi, daddy.

- How's your rash?
- All gone.

- It's gone?
- I gotta go.

Come on.

All right, I'm calling
coincidence on that.

Oh, really?

Yeah, I doubt
it's the wheat.

Yeah, well, I'm gonna go

with the trained medical
professional on that one.

Oh, yeah?
Dr. Joe?

Dr. Joe, yes.

Anyway, the small one's
for the baby,

and the big one's
for Kristina.

Make sure she reads
the card first.

Hold on.
Aren't you staying?

- No, no.
- Why?

- You know, I--
- You're invited.

It's a family thing.
I don't wanna--

It is anything
but a family thing.

Look at all these
yokels here.

And you're family.

Come on, we have good food,
free booze.

The game's on.
I know you like free booze.

I do, but I have
to be somewhere.

Like a--
like a hair appointment?

Or like meeting somebody?

You are not gonna go there.

What?

All right, look,
I'm just gonna say it.

I think you have a crush
on Dr. Joe,

and I think Dr. Joe
has a crush on you.

I'm going to look
at window treatments

with my mother.

What's your obsession
with Dr. Joe anyway?

I don't know,
he's gorgeous and smart.

I can't imagine
why I'm intimidated.

Well, then you should
date him then.

Maybe I will
if he calls me.

- Well, go ahead.
- All right.

Have fun.

He'll have me on
a no wheat diet though.

Okay, no, no, this one.
This is from Natalie.

Okay, I'd like
to make a toast here.

To Adam and Kristina,

truly remarkable parents.
They're amazing.

Hear, hear.

And to our little
baby Braverman.

All right.

Who I hope is going
to be named Blanche

after her great-grandmother.

- Oh, God.
- Yeah, there's an idea.

No, no, no,
not gonna happen.

More than anything else,
I'd like to say how proud

Camille and I are
to have our family

gathered around us.

It's really
quite extraordinary.

An amazing family.

It's true.

Camille, thank you
for putting on

this lovely, lovely shower.

- Yay, mom.
- A toast!

- Toast.
- Okay, cheers.

We have a lot of presents
to get through.

Let's get the boys together,
okay?

- Oh, my gosh, yes.
- I would love that.

- Tell Noel hi.
- Okay.

Okay, drive safe.
Bye, bye.

- See you.
- See you.

to start off, you're gonna

Who is it gonna come from?

No, God, no.
We have a loan.

Right, and how much

Do you know?

Excuse me
for one second.

I have a feeling someone
wants to talk to me.

Hi.

Are you mad at me
about something?

I don't really know that much
about recording studios,

and frankly
I'm not even sure

what it is that you do
every single day,

but somehow you've managed
to convince my husband,

who's pretty conservative,

that this is actually
a really good idea.

And I'm
a little bit concerned.

You know, there's a lot
riding on this.

I feel like this is
a big gamble with my family.

I have a daughter that's about
to go to college next year.

I have a son
with special needs.

And I'm about to have a baby,
so I'm worried.

I've been doing this
for ten years.

I've worked with
hundreds of artists

that wanna work
with me again.

We're not having
a conversation right now.

This is the end of it.

All I'm asking you
is to not screw up.

- Okay.
- That's it.

Now, I'm gonna go ahead
and go pee.

- Okay.
Do you need--

- I got it, I got it.
I'm good.

- It was a good little chat.
- Good talk.

- Yeah, that's--
- You're not mad though, right?

- Nope, not at all.
- Okay, just concerned.

Hi.

Zach?

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm Adam Braverman.

Haddie's dad.

Oh.

Your parents at home?

Thank you.

- Welcome.
- Thank you.

I don't wanna defend what Alex
did or make excuses for him.

He made a mistake,
and he knows he did.

And he feels sorry for it,

and both my wife and I
are sorry

that he hit your son.

And she wishes she coulda
been here, by the way,

but she's, uh,
gonna have a baby soon.

Wasn't feeling well, so...

Anyway, regarding Alex,
I don't know what you've heard

about him through the rumor mill
or whatever but--

Well, we know
what the D.A. has told us.

Oh, that makes sense.

I mean, he doesn't go to
the kids' high school, so...

He never even went
to high school.

No, that's
not true actually.

He did go to high school.

He just didn't graduate
with his class.

He got his G.E.D.

Got it about a year ago,
I think.

G.E.D. or not,

this kid assaulted my son,

and he is going to be held
responsible for his actions.

Okay.

My daughter Haddie
met Alex last summer

while she was working
at a soup kitchen

where my mom
volunteers time.

And Alex works there too.

And when my wife
and I found out

that Haddie
was dating Alex,

we were both
very against it.

And I am embarrassed
to say that...

The initial information
about him, it just--

it just--it scared us.

Did you know
he had a record?

No, we didn't.
We found that out recently,

and it shocked us
because of the Alex

that we've come to know.
This is a good kid.

This is a guy who is trying
very hard to change his life.

In fact, the first time
he went to that soup kitchen,

it was to get
a hot meal.

He was homeless,

and now, you know what,
he runs the place.

He's 20 years old,
and he's the boss.

And he runs that soup kitchen
really well.

He's a responsible guy,

and I can't tell you
how hard he tries

to do the right thing.

Look, I'm sorry
that he hit your son.

I really am.

But he showed up at that party
completely sober,

and quite frankly there was

a lot of underage
drinking going on,

and all he as doing
was trying to bring

my daughter Haddie
home safely.

But Alex has
a previous record,

and he could go to jail
if you press charges, so...

He doesn't deserve that.

He doesn't deserve
to go to jail.

He's just too good and
decent a person.

And I don't wanna see
his life destroyed.

Yep.

This is getting ridiculous.

I know how much you love your
latte, so here, okay?

On the house,
no more running around.

Stop being crazy,
all right?

Zoe, Zoe.

Come here, please.

Um...

I've been feeling
like an idiot

for what I did, so, um--

You're just avoiding me?

Yeah, I guess so.

Hey, have a seat.

Let me...

Listen, I just--

I wanted you to know
that I wasn't just helping you

because of some
ulterior motive.

Although, okay, there was
an ulterior motive there.

But I also wanted
to help you.

And I do still
wanna help you.

Do you wanna why I said no?

Whatever.
Don't worry about it.

No, I would--
I would really like to--

Yes, please, tell me.

Okay.

Well, I want
a closed adoption.

I just feel like it's just
so hard already, you know.

And the thought of, like,

handing my baby over
to someone that I know just--

someone that I like,
just I can't.

So I just feel like

a clean break
would be easier.

Mm-hmm.

God, that sounds
so terrible.

No.

Hey.

Zoe, that doesn't sound
terrible.

I completely understand
that actually.

I really do.

Okay.

Okay?

Could you
do something for me?

Okay.

Could you start
buying more coffee?

Yes.

I will happily
buy more coffee.

I will see you in an hour.

Mmm, 20 minutes.

No, I'm not that bad.
45.

You actually are that bad.

My boss is thinking
that I'm stealing,

my numbers are so low.

20 minutes then.

I'll see you in 20 minutes.

Okay.

Cool.

Okay.

Hello.

Hey, it's Dr. Prestridge.

Just calling to follow up
on Jabbar.

How's that rash looking?

Oh, um,

it's all gone actually.

Good, good.

I do think that we should
probably try to keep him,

you know, wheat-free
for, like, another 30 days

just to rule
everything else out,

if you guys
are up for that.

Yeah, yeah.
That--that sounds good.

Sounds like a plan.

Great.

Uh, Jasmine,
I want to ask you something,

and it's
a little awkward.

This is, uh, actually
the first time

that I've ever done
something like this,

and I'm a little nervous
about it.

And if you're--

you know,
if you feel like

I'm overstepping or, uh,

if you're just
not comfortable with this,

please, please
just say so.

I won't be offended,
I promise.

Do you wanna
grab dinner sometime?

Sure.

Sure.

I'd--I'd love to.

Hey, Mr. Braverman.

Hey, Amy,
how you doing?

I wanted to bring back
these clippers.

Oh, no, no, no,
that's okay.

My dad said that
they're not ours.

Drew brought them over.

Hey, Drew!

You got company, Drew!

Drew, get out here!

Drew!

What?
What?

Hey.

Oh, hey.

Um, sorry.

I didn't know that he was gonna,
like, yell at you.

Oh, no,
he's just getting old.

They just yell a lot,
I guess.

Yeah.

Well, I wanted
to bring these back.

My dad said
that they're not ours.

Oh.
They're not theirs.

- Oh, huh.
- Yeah.

Kidding.
Who knew? How weird.

- Yeah.
- Um...

I like your shirt.

Oh, thank you.

Actually, I stole it
from my sister.

Hey, how's your dog?

Oh, he's fine.

Okay, I was pretty nervous
about that actually.

No, seriously,
it's okay.

I mean,
he always comes back.

Okay, great.

Yeah, you sure
disappeared though.

Yeah, I--
I had some homework,

and one of my shows
was coming on.

So I had to--
I'm sorry about that.

Yeah, it's okay.

Okay.

Well, I guess I better go,

so I will see you later.

♪ But I hope I'll know

Actually, Amy, hey.

I know this is--
it's kinda random,

but would you wanna, like,

No, no, um,

Yeah.

Yeah?

Hi.

I was gardening.

The chair looks great.

Mom, Dad!

What happened?

They're dropping
the charges against Alex.

- You're kidding.
- Uh-uh.

His lawyer just called him.

Well, that's great.
What'd the lawyer say?

That the Bells don't want
to pursue it anymore,

that there's no case
without them,

about you two.

I can't believe you guys.

Why would you not tell me?

Well, we weren't sure

Well, Dad, thank you.

You're welcome.
