Parenthood (2010–2015): Season 3, Episode 5 - Nora - full transcript

Do you want to know
why I said no?

ZOE: I want a closed
adoption.

CROSBY: I think that you have
a crush on Dr. Joe

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

ZEEK: This guy is a son
of a bitch.

SARAH: He was the love
of my life, but he is
sick now, and I know that now!

I have
relationships with bands.

If I started my own studio,
they would all follow me
over in a second.

Do you have
that in writing?

I have it in fist bumps.
I think I might want to
do this with you.

To the Luncheonette!



I`m worried.
All l`m asking you
is to not screw up.

How did this
whole thing start?

Max told Jabbar that
they had to eat lunch
together every day.

I thought that they wanted to
eat together.

Not all the time.

MAX: So I don`t get lunch?

No, honey, you get lunch.
You just... You have to eat
in a classroom, that`s all.

I`ll be alone.

Yeah, but it`s just one week,
during lunch.

One week lunch detention,
then it`s over.

Yeah, and they also want
you to write a letter
of apology to Jabbar.

Just a quick letter.

What`s Jabbar`s punishment?

I think he might have a
different punishment than you.



So he doesn`t get detention.

No.
No.

Does he have to write
me a letter?

No, honey, he doesn`t have
to write you a letter.

He hit me first.
I know.

Max, I know it doesn`t make
sense, but the reason that
they`re doing this is because

you`re in the fifth grade,
he`s in the second grade.
Yeah.

And they want you, as the
older kid, to set a good
example.

You`re older and that`s the
reason.

It`s not fair!
This isn`t fair!

He hit me first and then
I get lunch detention.
What genius thought that up?

You`re right to be angry,
okay?

Sometimes in life things
happen and you just...

This is one of those things
where you`ve just got
to suck it up and do it.

Suck what up?

Uh, that`s just an expression.
Don`t use expressions.

You know I hate expressions.
Okay.

It just... It means it`s
something you have to do,
whether you like it or not.

You just have to do it.

It`s just a week. Honey, we`re
sorry. We`re so sorry.

(MAX CRYlNG)

Max, buddy? Hey.

KRlSTlNA: lt`s okay.

Now, look, I know a lot of
guys would have
valeted on a first date,

but I am not going
to pass up a spot like that.
And I just saved six bucks.

Pretty good, huh? And while
all the other idiots are
waiting for their car

we`re just going to
zip out, fast getaway.

TUF: You are so
financially responsible.

Thank you.
And smart.

Thank you, l, well, I try.
And I think that`s a good
quality of mine, actually.

TUF: I think it`s
a great quality.

Hey.
Hey.

PRESTlDGE: Hey.
What are you, uh...
Oh, wow! Okay.

You remember Dr....
Yeah, Dr. Prestidge.

Yeah.
What a coincidence, huh?

Hi, l`m Tuf.
Tough?

Yeah. Hi.
Tuf. Hi. Jasmine.

Tuf.
Hey. Nice to meet you.

PRESTlDGE:
You guys going to eat?

That`s the plan, yeah.
This you?

Yeah.
Oh, man, that`s, uh,
that`s nice.

Thank you.

See you later.
Yeah.

Voila.
Thank you.

He doesn`t say
``l knew it was you.``

He says, ``l know it was
you, Fredo.``

Well, then he should
have said, ``And you are
breaking my heart, currently.``

Oh, God! I can`t believe
you`re getting it wrong!

He didn`t have to.
He says, ``l know it was
you, Fredo.``

I said Al Pacino.
``And you broke my heart.``

Listen to me.
``And you broke my heart.``

He held...
He goes like this.

SETH: Get a room, you two.

Hey.
Hi.

Who is that?
It`s... Give me a second.

Hi. What`s going on?
Hi.

Ah, just nothing,
l`m hanging out in town.

Back in town, huh?
Just want to hang, you know?

The old days, and with the
music out, and just play
guitars, and just, you know,

hang out and sing. You got a
guitar in there?

You`re drunk.
No l`m not.

Hey, Captain Morgan,
why don`t you just give
us a little minute here, huh?

Come here. Come over here
and talk to me.

I had a drink.
I had one drink.
I can`t believe you`re drunk.

Oh, my God. What happened,
Seth? What happened?

I quit the band.
Why?

Well, they fired me,
but then I quit.

Seth, you gotta go.
You gotta get out of here.
Oh, man, why,

because l`m interrupting
your time with your boy toy?
Hey, Captain!

Sir...
I told you to give
us some privacy.

Don`t talk to him.
Listen to me.

Listen, why don`t I call
you a cab, okay, and you can
just go.

I got nowhere to go. I`m
staying at this hotel.

I got... I couldn`t get
my credit card
into the thing, so...

Do you need money?
I got money in the bank.

Okay, well, what was
your plan?

What are you going to do?
I just need a place to crash.

Sarah, what the
hell is going on?

Oh, God.
Oh, no. Papa Bear.

Dad, I got it.

The hell you do.
Dad, it`s okay. Uh...

No, it`s not okay.

Papa Bear.
No, it`s, uh...

Hey, why don`t you mind your
own business, old man?

SARAH: Hey! Hey! Hey! No! Hey!

Get the hell out of here! You
want Drew to see you now, you
drunken piece of...

Dad, please! Please! I`ve got
it under control, Dad!
Get your ass out of here!

Go on!
Drew`s going to hear.

I`m talking to you.

You guys, no, no! Stop.

You get off my property, Seth.

Come on!

Okay. I`m leaving!
Yeah? Let me see!

SARAH: Dad, he`s drunk.
He needs a cab.

I like to walk.

Son of a bitch.

I`m sorry.
It`s okay.

That`s Seth.
That`s your ex-husband,
l`m assuming?

I`m really sorry.
No, no, no. It`s fine.

You don`t think I look like
Captain Morgan, do you?
The rum pirate guy?

I don`t.
Because he has curly things,
and a longer... Come on.

(SlGHS)

Hey.

Hi.

Okay, what`s going on?
Uh, nothing. I`m fine.

When did this start?
What?

How long has it
been happening?

Um, I just had a cramp
for the last couple of hours.

Couple hours straight?
Like,

every 10 minutes.

How long does it last?
For like, two minutes.

Think it`s just gas. T.M.I.
Okay, that`s okay.

I`ll get out of your hair.
Don`t worry about it.

Okay.

(SlGHS)

Okay, we`re going
to the hospital.

I can`t. I can`t go
to the hospital.
I`m not going to the hospital.

I`ll get fired.
You can`t get fired for this.

And you are definitely
going to the hospital.
Okay.

Hello?

AMBER: Yeah?

Hey, Amber.
It`s Aunt Kristina. Hi, honey.

Hi. (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

Um, I just wanted to see if
I could talk to you...
Hang, hang on!

Oh, hey.
Hey.

I woke you up, didn`t l?

No, no. I just...
I just got up.

Can I come in for a second?
Yes, of course.

I was going to call you
and then I thought, well, l`ll
just come over and say hello.

I haven`t seen this place yet.
It`s beautiful. Very cool.
Very cool first apartment.

Thanks.
I just wanted to
ask you a little...

It`s sort of a weird favor,
or whatever.

Are you okay?
Do you want to sit down?
You should sit.

Yeah, just for a second.
And then...
Here.

Please.

(SlGHS)

Let me see if I can
find a clean glass.

Amber, you know the thing that
happened with Max and Jabbar
at school?

Yes, I heard.
They got into a big fight,
and now his detention

is that he has to
spend an hour alone this week,
at lunchtime, by himself.

That`s extreme.

I was wondering maybe if you
could just go and just sit
with him for an hour.

Sit in... Sit with him?

In his classroom.
In his classroom.

I already cleared it with
school and they said
it would be fine,

just to make
him feel comfortable, because
I can`t be there.

I`m just, l`m... I`m nervous
because I haven`t spent as
much time with him.

I don`t know him as well.
I`m mean, l`m not even sure
Right.

he`d be comfortable with me
being there. Am I really
equipped to...

You are. You`re family,
and basically, I don`t have
any other options right now,

so if you can help
me with this...
Fair enough.

Amber, I swear I would ask
you anyway, but l...
Please, l`m not offended.

So, um, he has to write a
letter of apology to Jabbar.
Right.

And he doesn`t want to do it.

He`s going to be really
defiant about it and kind of,
Okay.

I don`t know, stand-off-ish,
but I really need you to
Stand-off-ish.

persist and get
through to him.

Of course. Of course.
You`ll do it?

It will be fun.
Okay. Today at noon.

Today. At noon. Okay.

I love you.
I love you too.

You have a good day and call
me for anything.

And just be persistent
with him, okay?

Persist.
Persist.

Okay. Bye.

I asked her point blank,
``What if this Dr. Joe

``asked you on a date?``
Yeah?

Wanted to
go out to dinner.

She said no way.
Right?

And where would I run
into her? At a place where
they just had dinner.

Really? Oh.
On a date.

Textbook date.

Well, you know what that
sounds like?

I mean, how unprofessional
is this guy?

You know what
that sounds like?
He`s dating his patients?

That`s where
he`s pulling from?

That sounds like
she changed her mind.

Well, clearly she
changed her mind.

But, I mean, I would
never do that.

Well, I tell you what, why
don`t we do a little work,
get your mind off it, okay?

You said you were going to fix
that board in Studio A?

Yeah, well, are you
going to watch in a recliner
or what are you gonna do?

No, l`m gonna be working
on that contract for
the meeting on Friday.

The contract?
Yeah, for the meeting.

Mister Ray.
Mistah Ray.

Mister Ray.
Mistah.

Mistah. Mistah.
You`re saying Mister. Mistah.

Mistah Ray.
Uh-huh.

Mistah R.A.Y. Ray.

You don`t have to use a
different voice when you say
Mistah Ray.

Mistah Ray, are you ready
to lay down some sweet
tracks with Dr. Croz?

That`s great. He`s going to
love that.

Uh, on the topic
of your hipness.
Yeah.

Uh, do you think maybe Friday
you could go untucked,

maybe drop a button or so?
Just hip it up a little?

Hip it up?

You know, you don`t
want to go in there looking
like a tax auditor.

Follow me?
All right. All right. Okay.

Okay, great.
Hip it up.

Well, why don`t you
go work on that sound board?

I`m going to review
this contract and get
some work done.

Adam, you cannot bring
a contract there
on Friday, okay?

Why not?
We gotta go there.

The meeting`s about us
convincing him to record here,
not about contracts.

What are you talking about?

Crosby, you told me that
Mister Ray was going to record

his next album here
at the Luncheonette.

You told me this.

It`s a part of our
business plan.
And he is going to.

This is the money we`re
counting on to find other
people to record here.

Adam, you`re getting
all revved up

and you don`t really know
what you`re talking about.

Oh, I don`t? I don`t know
when you lie to me?
Okay, no.

No, what l`m telling you is
if you walk in there...

You can`t do this
if we`re going into
business together!

You can`t lie to me.
Okay, you`re going to
have to trust me.

Friday is going to be fine.

He loves me.
I`m going to lock
the whole thing down.

You just need to relax
and chill out on
the contracts a little. Okay?

Well, I thought that
we had this locked in.
That`s what you told me.

We have it locked in, okay?
Okay.

I`m going to go work
on Studio A.

Okay, good.
I`m bringing the contract.

Oh, great, because he`s not
going to want to see a...

I`m going to hip it up. I`m
going to call him Mistah Ray

so that I don`t embarrass
my little brother because
l`m not cool.

I`m not hip enough.
Hip it up.

Mmm, how`s that
squishy cold sandwich?
Good.

Okay.

Oh, cool, is this,
is this about beetles?

Oh, look at that
one`s nose...
I don`t want to talk.

Hey, you know what? We should
probably start working on that
apology to Jabbar, maybe?

No.

Okay. But, you know,
you have to, so maybe...

He hit me first.
I have nothing to
apologize for.

Okay. I actually understand
that, but, you know,

the principal says you`ve
got to do it, so...
I`m not doing it.

You know, your mom
actually asked me...
I`m not apologizing.

Great.

No cell phones.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hey.
I found the doctor.

You are perfectly healthy
and so is the baby.

And the contractions?
Braxton Hicks.

Who?
It`s very common
early false contractions.

You`re fine.
Okay.

They do want to keep
you overnight, though.

Got you a little present.
Toothbrush, toothpaste.

I`ll put these here
next to the sink.

And, um, you have my cell
if you need anything.

That`s okay. It`s really,
really late, so you can go.
I mean, l`m totally fine.

Yes. Okay, you get
some rest, okay? All right.
Okay. Thanks.

Um, are you expecting anyone?

Um, Troy is working the late
shift tonight, so...

Troy?

That`s my boyfriend.
Right.

And your folks?

They work... They live
really far.

Okay.

Is this Cupcake Wars?

I don`t know. Do I look like
I watch Cupcake Wars?

Well, l`ve got to tell you
something. I do.

It`s one of my favorite shows.

Turn it up.

Are you serious?
I`m serious.

JULlA: Yeah.

LADY ON TV:
...guava cheesecake cupcake.

It`s a guava cake with
cheesecake filling.

You hide the
cheesecake filling inside
the cupcake hole we made.

Top with cream
cheese icing and roll in
graham cracker crumbs.

Decorate it with two
white chocolate feet.
The third cupcake is a...

(RAP MUSlC PLAYlNG)

Hey.

(LAUGHS) Hold on.

Sorry. I didn`t mean
to interrupt, honey.

No, no.

What are you wearing?
What do you think?

I don`t know.
I`m just, uh,
l`m putting together

some different looks,
because Crosby asked me
to hip it up for this meeting.

Stop a moment. Hip it up?

Kind of fit in.
You can`t wear that.

Why?
It`s awful.

I know, it`s a little dim
sum, but it`s clean.
(LAUGHlNG)

Honey, why don`t
you just wear a suit?

I can`t wear a suit, l`ve got
to try and fit in with these
guys.

You know, we`ve got to
try and land this account.

You know? This is important.
Okay.

We want to get these guys in
the recording studio.

Wait a second, wait a second.

What?
You landed the account.

Uh, well, not exactly.

What do you mean?

Uh... I thought we did.
You said that you
had the account.

Did Crosby lie to you?

He exaggerated.
No, no. That`s a lie, Adam.

He lied. Just say it.
He lied.
Okay.

Okay, you know what, Adam? I`m
really trying to have patience
with your brother.

I really am. I mean, he has
you dressing up like...
Yeah, I know. Look, honey.

I`m trying.
He`s having you wear these...

No!

Listen, I know that
my brother does a lot
of stupid things, okay?

But this recording studio
is a good idea, okay?

And l`m not just
his brother right now, l`m his
business partner, okay?

So I really need you
to be on our side.

Can you do that?
Yes.

I`m just trying to figure out
an outfit that`s not going

to be, you know, too much,
but is going to help.

That ain`t it.

Wow, this is just awful.
That`s hideous.

It`s bad.
Did you give me this?
I`m out.

It`s hideous. I
never got that for you.
I think your mom did.

All right.

All right. I`ll sit here
and eat the whole bag.
I don`t care.

Okay, l`ll do it.
All right.

With feeling.

Jabbar, l`m very sorry
for hitting you.

Okay. Now, like you mean it,
for two.

I did.

Really?
Yes.

Okay, how about this? I`m
going to say it two times,

and you can tell me
which one you think
means more, okay?

Okay.

Jabbar, l`m very sorry
for hitting you.

Or, Jabbar, l`m
very sorry for hitting you.
Okay, which one means more?

I`m not sure.

Max.
Which one?

You really can`t tell
which one means more?
No.

Can I have a
Tootsie Roll anyway?

Hi.
JOEL: Hey!

SYDNEY: Hi, Mommy!

You`re just in time.
I got some great asparagus
at the farmer`s market,

and this girl is making...
What`s the soup again?

Pink purple polka dot soup.
Oh, yeah?

Polka dot soup.
That sounds delicious.

It`s the polka dot
that`s delicious.

Hi!
Zoe, this is Joel.

Hey.

And this is Sydney.
And you guys, this is Zoe.

She`s staying with
us for dinner.
Yeah. Great, great!

I`m going to grab some
stuff out of the car.

Oh, okay. Hey,
nice to meet you.
Hey. Sweet house.

Oh, thank you. Uh, l`m just
going to help her with the
groceries. I`ll be right back.

Okay.
Want to play with me?

Yeah, what the hell?

Hey.
I know. I know, I know.

I just... I couldn`t drop her
off alone at her apartment.
She had kind of a bad scare.

Her boyfriend seems
like a jerk.

She couldn`t even
call her mother.
Oh, okay. I get it.

So, she`s going to get back on
her feet and in the morning,
it`ll be fine.

Morning? She`s spending
the night?

Yeah. It`s one night.

Well, l`m glad we
discussed this.

Hey.
Oh, hey.

So it looks like
we`re going to have to get
another pediatrician, huh?

Didn`t we agree that
we were seeing people?

What`s the problem?
Yeah, people,
not our son`s pediatrician.

Oh. Okay, so now
we`re judging each
other`s choices here?

How`s Tuf?
Oh, Tuf.

Yeah, Tuf.

Okay. Well, if Jabbar has a
fever of 102,
do you have to call Tuf?

That`s the difference.
I have to call your
boyfriend if my kid`s sick.

You can keep dating him,
but we have to
get another doctor.

Okay, look. I understand,
okay? I understand that this
is a bum for you.

I get it.
Okay. Thank you.

You can pick whoever you want
to take him to...
Whoa, let me finish.

He`s the most sought
after pediatrician
in the area.

Oh, good for him, rah rah.
No, Kristina said that
his waiting list

is, like, six
months long.

Why were you talking to
Kristina about him?
Because she called me

Uh-huh.
because she needed my help to
get an appointment with him.

What did you say?
What do you think I said?
I said of course l`d help.

I called him. I asked, and now
they`re all set up.
Oh!

So when the baby`s born,
they`re good.
Oh, yeah. Great.

That`s awesome.

You should call Julia
and see if Sydney would like
to go to him.

You know? Get the whole
Braverman clan
Crosby. Crosby!

with Dr. Joe as
their main physician.

Where are you going?
I`m going to try to drum up
more business for Dr. Joe.

Hi.

Hi!
Hi.

Hi. How are you?

How have your last
twenty-four hours been?

They`ve been good.

That was a good date.

That was a good date.

It started off perfect.

Hi.
Hi.

So, l`m sorry that it
was like the Jerry Springer
show at my house.

(LAUGHS)

You don`t have to apologize.

It`s just, uh...

Um...
I`m sorry.

It`s okay.

Just so you know,
he`s been doing great
for a long time.

He slipped.

Okay, so that was... Okay.

That makes sense. `Cause l
wasn`t sure if that was like,
uh, a thing that happens.

But that he, he`s been sober
for a good chunk of time?

Yeah. Look, it`s, um,

it`s a choice I made
20 years ago that l`ll live
with the rest of my life

and at times
he`s been really great.
You know?

And even when he`s not
great, he`s still family.

Yeah, I understand that.
I mean, everyone has
members of their family

that are difficult to deal
with for one reason
or another.

Do you?
Yeah!

Like who`s, who in...
Who in your family is the...
Well.

Yeah, I mean...
You don`t really have one,
do you?

Oh, God. I`m sure I do.
I`m sure I do.

But no, I mean, the point is
that l, at least I understand.

I`ve read a lot of books about
people who have...
(LAUGHS)

Um...

Sarah Braverman? (LAUGHS)
l`ve wanted to do that
since I came in.

Mr. Cyr?
Yes?

Did what you see make
you want to run away?

Because I would understand
if it did.

No.

No.
No, I do not want to run away.

Good.
Yeah.

You need some more of that.

Ooh, some more sparkle.
Do you think it`s
the right shade on me, though?

Yes.
I think so too.

I think it`s going to go
with the new sander.

Oh, you`ve got a purple
sander?

You know, I really think
purple is your color.

These are turning out so good.

Should I make more,
do you think?

Oh, yeah.
Yes.

Oh!
Good morning!

Hi, Zoe!
Hey.

JOEL: How are you?
Good morning.

Good.
Hey. Look, we`ve got another
sleepy-head in the house.

Yeah, you beat her. That`s a
pretty big accomplishment.
SYDNEY: lt`s pretty hard.

Are you getting your
nails painted?

No, why? Oh, God!
How`d this happen?

Purple, huh?
Mm-hmm.

Figured you more of like a
red, red kind of guy.

JOEL: Oh, you did, huh?
Mm-hmm.

SYDNEY:
Let that dry for a minute.

Made you decaf. Milk? Sugar?

Uh, yeah, milk and sugar.
Thank you. Could get
used to that.

Can I paint your nails next?

You got black?

I`ve got sparkly black.

Mmm.

(SlGHS) Okay.

Can I touch your baby?

Baby...
JOEL: Sydney, no.

What? Aunt Kristina lets me.

Aunt Kristina`s family.

It`s a little different.

It`s okay.

Come on. Get on it.

Cool. Are you having
a boy or a girl?

Sydney.

Respect her privacy, baby.

I`m having a boy.

It`s a boy.

Cool.

(LOUD RAP MUSlC PLAYlNG)

Hello?
I look like
an idiot.

What?

I made a mistake, okay?
You asked me to hip it up
and I hipped it way up,

so I need to change.
Why?

I look ridiculous, okay? I
went into this store,

and this guy at the store
is a big Mistah Ray fan,

and he said that I needed
to look like ``today.``

Not yesterday, but
today, and he hooked me up
with this stuff,

and I look like a clown.
So where are you right now?

I`m at College and Eighth.

Well, listen, you`re closer
to my house than I am. I don`t
have time to get there.

I`m by Mistah Ray`s.
You`ve got to go to my house,
get me some normal clothes.

Get me some
jeans, a jacket, a tie,

normal Adam Braverman
clothes, okay?

Okay. Now, I just want
to get this straight.

So your plan is to get
naked in front of
Mistah Ray`s house.

Yeah! I`m wearing a bull dog!
Oh, my God!
A bulldog necklace, Crosby!

Just go to the house and get
me some normal clothes!
Okay. All right.

I will.
Thank you.

Zeek, you`re going to have
to apologize to Sarah.

I`m going to have to what?
You`re going to have to
apologize to Sarah.

Come on, it`s been three days.

And you want me to apologize
for kicking that scumbag off
our property, do you?

Come on, you don`t have to
talk about him like that.

I`m not going to edit my
feelings for you, for Sarah,
or for anybody else, Camille.

Come on, Zeek. They were
married for twelve years.
He`s Drew and Amber`s dad.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, I was
there too, you know?

I mean, what did he do?
He spent half
those years drunk, loaded.

What did he do to Drew?
What did he do to Amber?
What did he do to Sarah?

I mean, he`s
the reason for most of her
pain, for her heartache.

He has a disease.

My God, Camille.

I mean, you`ve always
had a soft spot in
your heart for that...

He needs help.

Yeah, well, he needs help.
I tell you what. I`m going to
give him some help.

He shows up here drunk
or loaded again,
l`m going to call the cops.

Oh, you`re not going to
call the cops.

I`m going to call the
cops on Seth.

No, you`re going
to stay out of it.

No, l`m not going to stay out
of it. I`m going to handle it.

I mean, she can`t handle it.
She never could.
My God, a disease?

I want to say
again to the American people

how profoundly sorry I am
for what I said and did
to trigger these events

and the great burden they have
imposed on the Congress
and on the American people.

What did he do?

The details aren`t really
important, but what do you
think he was feeling?

Sad.

Yes! Okay, so why do you think
he was feeling sad?

Because he`s saying
``l`m sorry.``

Yes, that`s true, but what
about his face, or what about
his eyes? What are they doing?

Well, his eyes
are facing down.

Yes. His eyes are facing down.
Very good. Facing down.

Right. Okay, so what else?
Like, is he smiling, or...

No, he`s not smiling.

Not smiling. Okay. Hmm.

And his voice.
It sounded real low,
Mm-hmm.

Iike this, and he wasn`t
very loud.

Yes! Great!
These are good notes.

You ready to try one?
Yes.

Jabbar, l`m very sorry
for hitting you.

Okay, your eyes.

Jabbar, l`m very sorry
for hitting you.

And your voice.
Jabbar, l`m very sorry for
hitting you.

Max, that was so good.
Oh, my gosh.

Okay, now I want another one.

Oh, okay.

Jabbar, l`m very sorry
for hitting you.

Very good. Oh, wait.
What do we say?

Thank you.
Eyes.

Tone.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Ah, beautiful.
My favorite student.

Oh, sorry. I didn`t knock.
I didn`t know you were here.
What...

Um, Adam had a
big shopping disaster
Hey.

and I need to get a
suit for him, so may I go
upstairs?

Yeah. You know what?
I can help you.

I can get it.
I thought you guys
had that meeting.

Yeah, l`m on my way there now.

Crosby, I can help you. Hey!
I can get it.

You okay?

Do you know that Jasmine is
seeing Dr. Joe?

Yeah, she may have
mentioned it to me.

So you know that,
and then you still try to get
an appointment with him.

Well, he`s a pediatrician
and we need a pediatrician.

Crosby, we don`t have
a pediatrician.
Yeah, there`s tons of

pediatricians in the city.
Do you have to have that one?

Well, okay,
what is the problem?

I just feel like you`re...
Okay, what is the problem?

What if you and Adam got
divorced and I started taking
my son

to his new
girlfriend`s practice?

You don`t think that
would bother you?

The whole family
was going to see
Adam`s new girlfriend?

Are you upset
that she`s dating again?
But Crosby, come on.

I mean, this is silly.
No, l`m not upset that she`s
dating again.

I`m upset that she`s dating
my son`s doctor

and that now you`re trying to
make him your kid`s doctor.

You are overreacting.
Yeah, l`m overreacting.

Yeah, I think so.
Okay.

Well, I hope it doesn`t ever
happen to you

so you don`t have to find out
if l`m overreacting. Okay?
Okay.

Fair enough.
You`re being insensitive
is what it is.

Wait, what did you just say?
I`m insensitive?
It`s insensitive, yes.

You know what?
You`re insensitive.

You know what`s insensitive?

Insensitive is you
sleeping with Gaby.
Yeah.

Now we can`t find
a replacement for Gaby, still.

Okay, you know what?
I also think it was
insensitive that you did not

I already said sorry for that.
tell us about
Jabbar and Max getting

into a fist fight
at school, because guess what?

Max has detention
and Jabbar doesn`t,
he`s off scot-free.

Oh! You`re mad,
you`re mad about that?

That`s really good for
Max`s self-esteem, isn`t it?

Listen, because I couldn`t
bear to tell Adam
that Jabbar didn`t

want to eat with your son,
you call that insensitive?
That`s not the point...

I call it the
definition of sensitivity.
That`s not the closet.

You know what?
It doesn`t matter, okay?

Okay, well, I handled it my
way and apparently it didn`t
work, okay?

Okay, guess what?
You`re going to have to
suck it up while my family

sees Dr. Joe,
because he`s the best
damned pediatrician in town.

Oh, yeah, heaven forbid you
should find another
pediatrician!

I`m thinking about
my family right now.

I`m not thinking
about you, Crosby.

Yeah, well, I think about my
family too, okay?
Oh, and while we`re at it,

don`t lie to my husband.
I did not lie to him.

Yes, you have.
How?

Don`t tell him that you have
a client booked and you don`t.

Don`t do that.
Listen, I didn`t tell Adam l
had him booked.

Yes, you did.
I never said I had
a client booked.

You said you had a client
booked and you don`t.
I said that people would

follow me over. That doesn`t
mean we don`t have to meet
with them.

Guess what? You need to act
like an adult

if you`re going to be
in business with my
husband, okay?

Okay, l`m in business with
your husband, not you, okay?
An adult.

I don`t need to take
this from you.
You know, l...

I`m going to go close this
deal.

Close the damn deal because
you don`t even have
a deal to close.

(EXCLAlMS)
You don`t know what
the hell you`re talking about.

Crosby?
What?

Could you come
here for a minute?
I can`t...Iisten,

I don`t have time
to have this argument.

What are you doing?

My water just broke.

Okay, what...

I`m calling him.
Okay, I need you to
call Adam right now.

Get him on the phone for us.

Adam! Adam, man, you got
to forget about the meeting.

Oh, God. Oh, God.
We are Code Blue
right now.

Kristina is in labor.
Oh, God.

Get to the hospital now!
Crosby. Crosby. Crosby. Do
something! Oh, my God.

I`m driving as fast as I can!
(KRlSTlNA SHRlEKlNG)

What? What are you doing?
Oh! Oh!

What! Hold it. You`re holding
it, right? Hold it!
Oh, God!

Hold it!
Oh, I can`t hold it! I`m going
to have this baby in your car.

You cannot have the baby in
the car, Kristina.

Just drive!

Crosby.

(MUSlC PLAYlNG FROM CAR)

MAN 1: You expecting somebody?
MlSTAH RAY: Hell, no.

Hey, I thought...
You lost?

No, no, no. I`m not lost.
I`m here for the meeting.
Mister Ray!

I`m Braverman, Adam Braverman.

You Crosby`s brother?
Yes, I am.

You don`t look
like Crosby`s brother.

I am. I`m, l`m,
Crosby`s brother Adam.
Adam Braverman.

I just... I`m a little late,
and l`m sure he`s just stuck
in traffic.

And you know,
you guys are late too,
so it`s all good.

Come here.
Yeah, what?

Come here.
All right.

Nice duds. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) Thank you.

Should I just pull in?

Come on. Just follow me.

Okay, I just got to grab
some stuff from my car.

Does your husband always let
your daughter do that?

What? Oh, let her
paint his nails?

Yeah.
I know, I told him he doesn`t
have to let her do that,

but he loves her to death,
so...

Yeah. I could see that.

My life is such a mess.

You`re really nice.

Thanks.

KRlSTlNA: Oh, God. Oh!

Listen to me. Adam,
you need to get your ass
down here right now!

(KRlSTlNA PANTlNG
THROUGH DOOR)
Okay?

I, uh...
Did you get a hold of him?

I left him a message and l
know he`s going to check it.

No! No! No!
And I called my sister and my
mom so somebody`s going to be

down here.
Just get him here!

Just hold tight, okay?

Oh, God!
Ain`t nobody holding tight.
We`re at nine centimeters

and dilated. This baby`s
coming right now.

I want him so bad! I don`t...
I want my husband!

So, you staying with us,
or you got something better
to do this afternoon?

God, oh... He`s staying.

I`m staying. Okay.
I need ice chips
and chapstick.

MAN 2: Take it from the top.
MlSTAH RAY:
All right, all right.

Damn I`m in the zone
MAN 2: Zone!

Bad to the bone
Bone!

Like every Jones
pimp prodigy possibly
a freedom

No, thanks. No, I need to...
MlSTAH RAY: Gotta stay fly

MAN 1 :
You okay, dawg?
Yo, drink up, man.

Thank you.

I`m from the Bay. Hey! Hey!

I`m from the Bay
Hey! Hey!
Excuse me?

Excuse me?
(LAUGHS)

(GROWLlNG)
Dude, that`s going for real!

Uh, Mister Ray?
Your, your dog.
MlSTAH RAY: Yo, Cash, sit!

Sorry. He don`t like
white people.

I`m not white on the inside.

Come on, Cash. He all right.
This white man ain`t
going to hurt you.

Come on, let`s go.

MAN 2: Good boy.

Where the hell is Crosby?

(SCREAMS)

DR. KlTE: I need you
to push, Kristina!
KRlSTlNA: l`m trying.

I can`t do it!
I can`t push anymore!

I know, but we`re so close
and l`m going to need
you to push!

Oh, oh, God, I can`t.
I can`t do this.

Kristina, I promise you. I
know you`re tired. I know
you`re tired.

I`m so tired, l...
But we`re so close.
Your baby`s about to come.

Every time you feel a
contraction I need you
to push. Okay?

KRlSTlNA: Okay, I will.
I think I need to step out
into the hallway for a second.

No, you ain`t. You hold your
lady`s hand. You keep your
scrawny ass right where it is.

You know, that`s not my wife.

I don`t care if y`all married
or not.

Actually that wouldn`t
be a bad idea. Will you?

Okay.

Yup. Okay.
Just stay for a minute.

I`m not looking.
Just, uh, don`t look
down there.

Eyes on the road.
Just keep your eyes
up here on the prize.

Ooh.
Okay.

All right, there we go.
Good job. Good job.

I feel another contraction
coming.

There you go, Kristina.
Breathe, breathe.

You`re hurting my hand.
Oh, sorry! Sorry! Sorry!

It`s okay. Okay. Okay.

Ooh!
One more. Just one more.

You`re doing the breathing?
You`re doing great.

You`re doing great.
Yeah, l`m doing the breathing.
I`m doing the breathing.

There you go.
Almost there.
I`m almost there.

Please don`t go.
Okay, l`m not going.
I`m going to stay.

Stay.
Promise.

(SCREAMS)
Okay? Good, good, good, good!

So what do you use to record?

To record on? I don`t know.

Honestly, I don`t know. Crosby
would really be the person to
talk to about the equipment.

Well, he ain`t here.
I know, and I don`t understand
what happened. I`m very sorry.

He just must be delayed.

So what about you,
you been doing this for long?

No, no, no. I`m just
getting started in
the recording industry,

but l`m really
excited about it.

What you think about my music?

I liked it.

Get the vibe?
I did. I get the vibe.

You get the vibe, homey?
Yeah. I do, I get the vibe.

I really... I loved
what I heard. I did.

I think that sometimes
it can be a little crude.
What?

Yo!

The explicit language. I think
it`s too much.

It`s Bay Area hip-hop.

What do you expect?

I don`t want you to
get me wrong, I like what
you have to say.

You know that song
that you have

about your brother
getting shot?
My Redemption.

Yeah, My Redemption.
That is a great song.

Powerful, you know?
It`s... You`re a poet,
and l`m not just saying that.

Did that really happen?
Hell yeah, that happened.

What, you think
I made that up?
No, no.

God, no. Not at all.
I just, l`m very sorry.

I don`t know what l`d do
if my brother got shot.

That must have been
really hard.

Yeah, it was.
Well, l`m sorry.

Listen, I like your music,
I really do.

I like the stories you put in
your music. I would let my
kids listen to them,

if there wasn`t
all the cursing,
is all l`m saying.

You`re the strangest
white man I ever met.

Okay.
Yo, Adam, you having a baby.

Yeah, my wife and l
are having a...
No, fool.

I just got a text from Crosby.
You`re having a
baby now, cuz.

I`m having a baby now?

Crosby`s at the hospital!
That`s where Crosby is,
Crosby`s in the hospital!

With my wife, who`s having
a baby! I`ve got to go!

Listen, we
want you to record at the,
uh, at the Luncheonette, okay?

Crosby told me you
probably wouldn`t want
to sign a contract,

but I brought one.

Here. I`m just, l`m just
going to set
those right there.

I`m just asking you to
look it over,

because l`ve got
to get to the hospital.

Congratulations, man.
Thank you! Okay!

One more big push, Kristina.
Here she comes!
Here she comes!

(BABY CRYlNG)

Look at your
beautiful baby girl.

Oh my God.
She`s perfect.

Does the ``not father`` want to
cut the cord?

(WHlSPERlNG) Hi, baby.

Oh, hi, baby.

This is Nora.

She`s looking at me.
Yeah. Say ``Hi, Uncle Crosby.``

Hi, baby.

I kind of want to wake her up.
Is that wrong?
Well...

Let me get this straight.
Crosby was there,

but Run-D.M.C. was not.

(LAUGHlNG) Exactly.
Run was not in the house.

Crosby did amazing.
He was pretty awesome.
He did great.

Well, he did need
a shot of adrenaline.

This is Natalie, who is now an
honorary Braverman.

Hi, Natalie.
Hi.

You`re okay?
I`m good.

Good.
I`m good.

She`s a beautiful baby girl.
She sure is.

How about that, huh?

Can I hold her?
Is it too early?

No, of course not. Yeah.
Really?

Oh, my God.

Hi.

All right. Let me see,
let me see.
Shh!

Let me see, what?
She`s sleeping.

Not anymore.

Oh, Millie, look,
she`s got your eyes.

Really?
Well, I think so.

She`s beautiful.

Yeah, way to go, Kristina.

Thank you.

She didn`t do it
all by herself.
Aw, here you go.

Give me a man-hug. Come on.

Yeah.
Congratulations, Grandpa.
Congratulations.

Jabbar`s here.

Everybody, enough about
the baby. I have something
important to say.

I truly apologize for
everything that happened
last week.

I should not have hit you.

I should not have made you
continue to eat lunch with me
when you were ready to leave.

It`s hard for
me to be flexible,
but l`m working on it.

I really like you, and I hope
you will still be my friend.

I still want to
be your friend.
Cool.

Okay, can you help me
on this game?
Oh, yeah. Let`s go.

(MOUTHlNG) Thank you
very much.

Oh, hi!
Hey.

Come in.
No, I can`t stay.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, l`m fine. Yeah. Hi.
Hey.

Are you having
those pains again?
No, l`m, l`m okay.

Okay.
I`m good. I`m sorry to come
here this late.

It`s okay. What`s going on?

If you still, if you still
want to have my baby,
you can have it.

You have a nice family.

(SOBBlNG)

(PHONE VlBRATlNG)

Oh, God. Seth?

(BELL BUZZlNG)

Hello?

(CRASHlNG SOUND)

Seth.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, Seth.

You came.
