Mywater just broke.

DOCTOR: Here she comes.
(WAlLlNG)

Look at your
beautiful baby girl.

This is Nora!

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

Okay, what`s going on?
We`re going to the hospital.

ZOE: You`re really nice.

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

SARAH: Back in town, huh?

You`re drunk.
What happened?

I quit the band.



Get the hell out of here!
Dad! No!

Seth. Oh, no.

You came.

SARAH: What happened?

Just a dumb bar fight.

Who... Who gets in
a dumb bar fight anymore?

You`re not 18.
I... I know.

Oh, thank you
for taking care of me.

You`re always looking
out for me, huh?

I appreciate it.

When is this
gonna stop?

Just a stupid bar fight.

No, no, no.

Just this...
This whole thing
has gotta stop.



(SlGHS)

No, don`t smoke.
Don`t smoke in the house.

Hey, are the kids here?
I`d like to take them
to breakfast or something.

Are you crazy?

I mean, are they here
or did they eat already?

Do you know
what you look like?

Seth, you need help.

Yeah, you`re right.
I gotta go.

Wait, do you know that?

Do you know how many years
l`ve been cleaning you up?

If you don`t get help,

you can`t see
these children anymore.

If I have to get
a restraining order,

then that`s what
I will do...
Hey, will you just calm down?

No, I will not calm down!
Your life is a mess!
Please?

Look at yourself.
Your life is a mess,

and l`m done
picking up after you!

Why don`t you see
what I see?

You`re bleeding,
and you wanna take
your children to breakfast?

You have to go to rehab
or you`re not
seeing them again.

That`s it. I`m done.

(SOFT MUSlC PLAYlNG)

AMY: I love this band.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Yeah, they`re sort of
like, um, like
The Decemberists

meets Wild Horses.

I can see that.
I mean, uh...

(LAUGHS)

Hey, l, um... I sort of
reamed my shoulder
the other day.

It`s sort of killing me.

Would you mind
sort of...rubbing it?

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.
Um, yeah.

Yeah, it`s just like,
right here. Yeah.

Like what, like there?

Um...

Yeah, I should...

I should get you
aspirin or something.

I wouldn`t want you...
Oh...

(SlGHS lN FRUSTRATlON)

Uh...

ZEEK: All right,
here they are!
CAMlLLE: All right!

HADDlE: Hi, you two!

ADAM: Oh, hey!

ZEEK: Welcome home,
Nora Braverman!

CAMlLLE: Welcome!

Hey, sweetheart.

Hey.
Oh, and there`s Mom!

Hey, Mom.
How you doing?
Say hi.

Oh, no. No, Zeek.

Come on, come on.
I gotta take a shower...

Give us a big smile.
...and l`m smelly. It`s okay.

Look. There`s Dad.
There`s Dad!
Hey!

When I hear
the new favorite thing,
I know it`s not my tape.

Let Mama get her in...
Hey, hey, come on!

No, Max, Max? Max, ready?
Wanna help me, honey?

ADAM: Kristina`s just
not feeling it.

Wait, good job.
Oh, I wanna hold her.

Hi, sweetheart.
Just give her one
second, sweets.

MAX: I wanna hold her.
Does this go down
a little bit, or just...

I wanna hold her now.
You can hold her
in a moment.

Oh, Max. Come on.
Hold on for one
second.

You guys said
I could hold her.

Yeah. Honey, you`re gonna
hold her in a second.

Let`s go get something
out of the car.
Oh, l`ll get the...

Can you grab the balloons
and my purse?
Okay.

And there`s a couple
more plants or something.
HADDlE: Plants, got it.

Wow, you know? Adam?

Oh...
KRlSTlNA:
That`s okay!

She looks just like you.
Yeah. You think?

Gosh, what a shame.

She doesn`t look
anything like you,
that`s for sure.

Honey.
ZEEK: That`s a joke.

(DOOR OPENlNG)
CROSBY: Where is she?

KRlSTlNA:
Not very attractive.

Oh, there she is!

Here`s the little girl!

CROSBY: l`ve known you
longer than your dad has.

Yeah! All right, all right,
knock it off.

Hey, Crosby.
Give it a rest.
Oh, thank you.

You`re never
gonna let that go.

Hey, Adam. Can I talk to you
about something real quick?

What?

ZEEK:
Here, get in there.

Hi, little sweet.

ZEEK: Hey,
Camille, get in closer.
She`s smiling at me.

What, is something wrong?

Yeah, uh,
Jerry Ragovoy is dead.

ZEEK: Can`t get the
doggone flash to work.

Oh, my God,
l`m sorry.

Well, you don`t
need to be sorry.
I don`t know him.

Well, who is he?

You don`t know who Jerry...
He`s a huge songwriter.

Really, really epic.
Okay.

You know,
you`re in the music
industry now,

you might wanna learn
this stuff eventually.
All right.

So, a bunch of artists are
gonna do a tribute album.
CAMlLLE: See your new home?

One of them wants
to record at our studio.

Really? That`s great.
Well, who?

God, I hope you
know this name.
Cee Lo Green.

Cee Lo Green?
Yeah, Cee Lo Green.
Come on!

Oh, good!
Good, good.

Forget You,
right? Dude.

Forget You,
you got it. Yeah.

Dude!

This is awesome.
I know. But...

We`re not ready.

No, nowhere close to ready.
That`s what I told the guy.

But I wanted to come here
and clear it with you
before I told the guy no.

No, no, no, no, no.
You can`t say no.

We`re not ready.
You just said it.

No, no. We`re not ready,
but we`re gonna be ready.

We have to seize the day.
This is something that
could put us on the map.

Okay, Crosby?
We can do this!

Okay, do you remember
the lemonade stand?

Remember that?
We kicked butt.
It was winter.

We have to get him
in the recording studio
and have him record there.

Listen. I love
your enthusiasm.

We haven`t done
one thing that
will stick in there...

We will devote
ourselves 2$/7.
I can do this.

You just tell me
what needs to be done.
I will get it done.

If there`s one thing
I know how to do,
it`s work.

You just brought
a baby home.
I know, okay?

But this is an opportunity
from the gods.

We do this for the baby.

We`re doing it
for the whole
Braverman family.

(SlGHS)

Come on, man.
This is amazing.

Okay.
Okay?

Okay.
It`s a big deal.

I will try.
I will try.

This is amazing.

Hey, everybody...
Whoa! No, no,
no, no, no, no.

You don`t need
to tell everybody.
Hey, just relax. Relax.

Everybody,
this is amazing.
Okay?

Crosby here has arranged
for Cee Lo Green...

CAMlLLE: Oh, wow.

...to record at our studio.

Whoa! Cee Lo Green!
No, no, l... Maybe.

MAX: Who`s Cee Lo Green?

That`s wonderful
Braverman news.
HADDlE: That`s really cool.

Come on.
Let`s get a shot,
get over here.

Okay? All right?
I`m so tired, honey.

I know.
ZEEK: Come on. I mean,
they got their first client.

Nora Braverman`s home.

Okay. Everybody`s gotta
squeeze in a little bit.

One, two, three...

KRlSTlNA: I love it.
Cee Lo!

ALL: Cee Lo Green!

Kenny? Kenny, listen,
I appreciate that.

But tomorrow`s still
not soon enough. Okay?

We really need to get
that piano in there by
the end of today, all right?

Yeah. No, I can hold.
Happy to hold.

Okay. Hey.
Hey, babe.

Honey, I thought
you guys had a piano.

We do. We have an upright,
but we need a baby grand.

It`s a totally
different sound.
Yeah.

Hey, where`s that
box ofWelsh spring
water that I got?

You know where that is?
Oh, it`s by the back door.

Ah!
That stuff
is really expensive.

Yeah. Well, you know.
I was looking at the price
written on it.

Here`s the deal, honey.
I never knew
that there was Welsh...

You know, it`s just...
I`m just trying to be
hip, cutting edge,

we`re gonna make all
the money back.
It`s an investment.

Yep, I would drink it.

Okay. Hello, good morning.
I`m going to school.

Hi!
I just want you to know

I`m gonna send in
my college essay. Just don`t
want you to freak out later.

No, no. You can`t do that.

I have to
look at it first,
before you send it off.

Do you have time to do that?
Of course I have time.

ADAM: I gotta get
those speakers!
For you, I have time, okay?

I just didn`t think
you`d have time.
That`s great, honey.

Thank you for
doing that for her.
I can do it.

Thanks, then l`ll
print it out for you when
I get home or something.

Just print it out
and leave it either
on my bed or down here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. Do you wanna
take this for school?
All right, we got the piano.

Yay.
I am off
to conquer worlds.

Okay?
All right. Very exciting.

I don`t know when
l`m going to be back.
Might be days.

Okay, l`m leaving.
Good luck.
Tell Cee Lo what`s up.

I love you.
Okay. Thank you so much for
doing everything you do here.

I`m happy to
see you like this.

You`re a saint.
I`m so happy to do it!

Okay, honey.
I love ya.

I`m proud of you!
(LAUGHS)

(NORA CRYlNG)
(DOOR SLAMS)

Joel and I are
adopting a baby.

Yeah!
Yes!

Told you.

You were right on!
You bet!

I owe her
50 bucks!

That`s the reaction we want!
And now l`m going
to collect, too.

That is so cool.

That`s better
than a promotion!
Thank you!

So great.
Is it born yet?

No, he`s, um...
It`s a boy.

BOTH: He?
It`s a boy.

Yeah. Due in
a few months.

So the agency finally
came through.

Um, no.
Finally.

Uh, the agency was not
quite able to pull it off.
I`ll let you...

I`ll let you take it,
honey.

You switched agencies?

No.

How`d you get hooked up
with the baby then?
Yeah?

Um, there is a young woman
who works at my office,
who is pregnant.

She actually, she works
at the coffee cart

and she is not
keeping the baby,
and we are adopting it.

Wow.
So, it`s pretty amazing.

The coffee cart?

You`re getting a baby
from a coffee cart.

Yeah.
Do you know her?

You know what,
we don`t...

Well... Yes...

Typically in situations
like this, you don`t
really know anything

about the
parents involved.
Right.

Yeah, but the agency
knows usually.

I mean,
they know something.

They have a background.
JULlA: Mmm-hmm.

Right.
Mmm-hmm.

Seems a little weird,
doesn`t it?

Yeah. Well...
It`s different.

It`s not weird.

What, do you have
a contract with
her or something?

No. Um...

CAMlLLE: But you have
an agreement?

Yeah.
Well, yeah. Yeah.

She`s agreed
to let us adopt
her child.

JOEL: She`s a lovely girl.
We`ve had her over here and...

Did she ask you for money?

JULlA: No.
We, um, we`re covering
her medical expenses

which is obviously
in our best interest.

And you`re sure that
she`s pregnant?

Yeah.
What`s that
supposed to mean?

That`s... It`s a...
That`s a valid question.
CAMlLLE: Yeah.

She`s definitely
pregnant.

ZEEK: Okay.
They`re tough questions
but it`s stuffyou gotta ask.

I`ve been to the hospital
with her and...

You know? I mean...
Mmm-hmm.

No, we have asked.
We`re taking care of it.

So...

What? What?
What is that?

Feels like paper.

(GASPS) Busted!
You`ve been smoking?

Is this a new
playwright thing?

Uh... I can quit
any time I want.

Smoking in bed,
that`s pretty serious.

They`re not mine, so...

What do you mean?

It`s...

Whose are they?
Uh, they`re Seth`s.

Let me explain.

Yeah, what do you mean?

I was gonna tell you this,
and we just got distracted.

Um... He got...
He was very drunk.
He got in a fight.

He called me.
I went to get him.
Right.

And he just... I just
brought him back here for
a couple hours, just to...

And he slept here
and where did you sleep?

It was just to sober up,
and I slept here
in my clothes,

only for a couple hours.
Yeah.
Next to him? Okay.

(EXHALES) Is there something
going on with you guys...

Oh, my God, no.

...that you need to tell me?
You can just
tell me anything.

No.

I`m done...helping him.

The fact that
your ex-husband slept here
and you slept there...

Yeah.

...and there
are cigarettes.

Even as a trusting person,
it`s just a little hard for me
not to get bumped by that.

I adore you.

I wouldn`t...

Show me the place, man.

Yeah. This is
the main studio.

Yep. A lot of
history here.

CROSBY: Smell that?
Yes.

It smells like
Jerry Garcia`s socks,

they were kinda in
the air here. You know?

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

Yo, that`s awesome.
And l... I really, really
love this place, man.

ADAM: You know, l`m gonna
tell you something cool?

Janis Joplin herself,
recorded in this very room.

Really?
Yep.

Yeah. I mean, we`re gonna
record upstairs, uh,
which is also a great space.

This room isn`t set yet.
But, uh... Yeah.

I have an idea.

I wanna record in here.

It`s...it`s Janis.
Don`t you feel it?
It`s perfect.

Mmm.

Well, you wanna check
upstairs out and see if...

Nah, it won`t be necessary.

`Cause that one`s really...
Oh, my God...

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
The spirit of Janis
in the room while he records?

Come on, man.
That`s the fire right there.

There`s that fire
right there.

There`s that fire.

Mmm-hmm. Fire.
Fire.

Adam knows what
l`m talking about!
Fire!

By Wednesday?

Yeah!
We can get this ready.
Sure. Uh-huh.

I was thinking that
we`d record on tape to
get that classic feel.

Yeah, man,
I love tape.
I love tape.

Sweet. Tape it is.

But, you know, if you
wanna cut and paste...
Just throwing it out there.

Dude, dude, dude, dude!
This is Cee Lo, man.

He gonna hit you
with a couple straight takes
all the way through,

and we good. All right?
Totally!

HERB: You guys can handle
it though, can`t you?

We can handle it, no...

CEE LO: What`s my name?
Cee Lo.

If you wanna tape it,
we`re gonna tape it up.
That`s my man!

You got it.
We`re gonna make it work.

I just want girls,
Southern Comfort,

incense, turkey burgers,
chicken wings, drumlets.
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

Oh, man! (LAUGHS)
You know, I gotta admit
I was a little star struck.

I mean,
Cee Lo Green was here.
Cee Lo Green...

Oh, really?
You were star struck?
I couldn`t tell.

...was standing
right here.

I mean, $8 hours
to get this whole room
wired up?

We gotta get some pictures
of him up in the lobby.

Are you kidding?

This two inch machine
is 60 years old.
(SlGHS)

Well, isn`t that exactly
what they`re looking for?

This one is probably
65 years old.

They`re looking
for this right here.

All right?
This is what`s gonna deliver
that classic sound.

You can`t just
will this to work.
All right?

I`ve done it. I know
what l`m talking about.

All right.
Take a breath, all right?

We have to give
the customer
what he wants.

If Cee Lo wants it,
we give it to him

because he`s gotta
walk out of this place
loving it.

Yeah, I know.

All right, so what do
you need me to do?
Let`s make a list.

Prioritize.
What`s the first thing
that`s gotta happen?

I don`t know.
Start tearing down
studio A.

All right, l`m on it.

Oh, my God.

Let`s go.

You know what?

Actually, don`t tear cables
out of anything. I`ll do it.

You`re right.

I wanna get help.

Go to rehab.

Whatever it takes.

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Hey.

Hi.

Wait, why...
Why are these out?

I thought we were
done with these.

Um, yeah, l`m just...

I`m looking again
at how the agencies
screen the mothers.

Does this have
anything to do
with your dad?

Because you know
how he gets, honey.

He just comes
up with... Okay.

I know how he gets,
but he had
some valid points.

Actually, so...
Well,

you know, all the points
that he brought up

are points that we actually
already covered, so...

I just don`t wanna...
(SlGHS)

I don`t wanna
regret anything.

I don`t wanna do
anything stupid.

Okay, well,
you`re not stupid.
I`m not stupid.

We`re not gonna
do anything stupid.

I`m gonna get dressed.
Okay.

I`m gonna apologize
in advance for
asking this, um...

Oh, God.

I can`t
give you drugs.

Okay. (LAUGHS) Um...

How do you exactly

kiss someone?

(LAUGHS)

I should just leave.
I should just go.
This is so funny.

Wait, wait, wait.
Is it Amy?

Yeah.

You`re gonna kiss Amy
on the mouth!
I am, yes.

I`m so excited!
Okay, l`m sorry.

I mean, is she into it?

Like, have there been
moments that you feel...

I feel...yes.

Wow! That`s great.

But I can`t, I mean,
l`m not positive, like...

Okay. All right, all right.
Calm down, calm down.

How do I gauge
what`s happening?

Okay, I can help
you with this.

All right,
I appreciate it.

So, first, you know,
go kinda like,
sit next to her or something.

Uh-huh.
And put, like,
your leg next to her leg.

You know? Like,
so it`s touching
a little bit.

Man, I can`t.

What? You come to me,
you ask me.
I know, I understand.

I`m telling you, okay.
And thank you.
It`s just weird, okay.

Just listen. So, just like,
if she doesn`t move her leg,
then she`s probably into it.

Okay?
Uh-huh.

So, phase two is,
you know, you`re
sitting next to her,

and you just
kind of wanna
give her a look.

That`s... Yes.

You know,
and you just kinda
keep her eye contact.

And if she doesn`t
look away,
you just kinda...

No. I can`t...
Phase three.

Come on!

Oh, man.
I know, l`m sorry.

It`s a lot easier
than it seems.
All right.

Honestly.
Yeah.

I`m sure she wants
to kiss you, and l`m sure
it`s gonna be great.

Thank you.

No problem.

Right. So, how many times
has he tried to get clean?

I don`t know. A lot.

(ZEEK SlGHS)

This is different.
How? Why?

Because every other time
he`s tried to get sober,

he has tried to
do it by himself.

This time he`s saying
he wants help.
He`s going to rehab.

God! Man, why aren`t
we throwing him a party?

Okay.

CAMlLLE:
Oh, well, it is a little...
It is different.

Sarah, he`s playing you.

He`s not...
Well, that`s not fair.

Come on.
Let`s just listen. Just...

You know,
I don`t even owe you
an explanation, okay?

He`s made a decision
for himself,
for his family.

He`s looked into places.
He would be there today.

Mmm-hmm.

But there`s a waiting list
at the state facility,

and the private facilities
are expensive and
he`s figuring that out.

It`s gonna...
Okay, here it comes.
Here it is.

What is... ``Here`` what?
What is coming?

He`s working you
for money, girl.

He`s not working me
for money.

Oh, honey, please.
Sarah, my God!

Your loser
ex-husband shows up
after all this time...

That`s nice.

...and what,
he decides he`s gotta
clean up his act

but, what?
There`s a problem.
``l need some money.``

So, where`s it gonna
come from?

It`s gotta come from you.

He has not asked me
for one penny.

Not yet.
I`m done with this.

So...

And you know what, Dad?

Actually I don`t care
if you believe in him
or not, because I do.

I believe
he can change.
I really do.

Damn it!

(DOOR OPENS)

Don`t give her
any money,
Camille.

I don`t have any money.

Hello?

Hello?

Mom?

Mama?

Mom.

Mom.

(SNORlNG)

ADAM: l`m gonna put all
the drumming equipment
right over here in the corner.

All right,
you got it? Great.

Hey! The load in!
Hey.

We`re getting there,
aren`t we?

Yeah, we`re gonna
be there right as they
walk in to record.

I don`t think
this was such
a good idea, man.

Hey, it was
the only idea.

Well, we could`ve
told him we weren`t ready.

Well, we`re gonna be ready.
We have to be ready.

Look, this isn`t a job that
a monkey can do, you know?
I have to be present.

I have to make decisions
and be mindful.

You know?
I need to be awake.

I know, and we`re gonna
get all this stuff done,

get a sound check in,
so you can get some rest...

(PHONE RlNGlNG)

...before you gotta do
your thing tomorrow.
Okay?

Hey. Honey, how are you?
Is everything okay?

Hey, how are you?
I`m just, l`m...

...just checking in.
Everything`s fine.

I just wanted to say
that we miss you.

Oh, I miss you, too.
How`s our little Nora?

(CHUCKLES) She`s great.
She`s hungry.
She just ate again.

She`s pooping a lot.
(LAUGHS)

So, do you think
you`ll be able to come home
at all tonight or...

Uh... No. Honey,
it`s not gonna happen.

We`re gonna be setting up
until they get here.

You know,
I got a lot to do,

and I gotta be here
for Crosby, so...

Okay. No problem,
I just called to say
that I love you

and that everything`s great.

I love you, too.

Hey, you just tell Nora
that l`m doing this
for her, okay?

She`ll understand.
I will.

Bye.

Good night.

(SlGHS)

(SlGHS)

CROSBY: Okay.
Here we go,
here we go.

All right, let me
mark that. Okay.

You all set?
Yep.

Ragovoy tribute,
take nine.
Cee Lo Green.

ADAM: All right,
this is the one.

One, two, three, ah!

I want you to come on!
Come on!

Come on! Come on!

(CLEARlNG THROAT)

Sorry, man.
Is there a problem?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I wanna switch this
ol` microphone out.

I don`t like
how it sounds.

Um, yeah.
Happy to do that. It sounds
great in here, though.

Yeah, awesome.
You`re shredding it.

It`s on fire.
Burning like a torch.

I mean, that`s cool,
but it`s gotta sound
good to me, guys.

I hear what you`re
saying, Cee Lo.

Thank you.

Okay, you know what?
I`ll switch it right now.

Okay. Okay, okay.

KENNY: Yeah,
it definitely sounds
a little thin, doesn`t it?

ADAM: You said
it sounded kinda thin?
KENNY: Yeah.

It sounded good,
but, yeah.

I`m gonna... I`m just
gonna see if he needs
a hand there. Well...

Hey, this is all
normal, right?
I mean...

Look, man.
I... I... I don`t know
what to tell you. Okay?

Maybe this is
normal for him,
maybe it`s not.

I... I don`t know. Okay?

So, this is not
normal.

Okay.

Here we go.
Here we go.

KRlSTlNA:
Hey, Haddie?

Hey. Did you
take your college
essay back?

Yeah, I took it back.

Oh. Well, I wanted
to read it.

I took it
`cause you were
sleeping on it.

Oh! (SlGHS) Honey,
l`m just so tired.

That`s all there is.
I`m sleep-deprived.

You cannot take
that personally.
Yeah. No.

I`m not taking it personally.
I know you`re really tired.

That`s why I didn`t
ask you to do it.

I understand,
but Haddie,
I want to read it.

You know that
I want to read it, right?

(NORA WAlLlNG)

Yeah, I don`t know,
I just know...
It`s not a big deal.

...that there`s
a lot of stuff
going on right now.

Um, you don`t
necessarily have time

to do everything
you`d like to do.
I do.

I`m gonna get to it.
You gotta understand that.

I`m gonna go
to the library.

You know you got it
if it makes you feel good

That was great.

Yeah!

Let`s take five.

Man, let`s go
talk to him, man.

(DOOR CLOSlNG)

(MOANlNG)

What`s going on?

I thought
that sounded great.

I mean,
if l`m the audience,
that was stellar.

I don`t think we have
to go again.

I mean, he nailed that
from top to bottom.

But they gotta have
another conference.

Is this normal
for them to...

(AGGRESSlVELY)
Could you stop asking me
if everything is normal?

I need you
to get out of here
so I can work. Okay?

I`m just trying...
Please.

I`m just trying
to help out.

I`m trying to understand
what`s going on...
Yeah, every four...

Hey.
We`re gonna go again.

I just...
I got some stuff to do,
excuse me. Excuse me.

(SlGHS)

We`re going again.
Yeah, we`ll go again.

Ragovoy tribute,
take 29.

Twenty-nine, Cee Lo Green.

I`m so embarrassed.

(SNlFFLES)

But I just don`t know
who else to ask.

And I did look into
the state facilities,
you know, and um...

Yeah.

And there`s this
big, long waiting list.

And I just...
I really do feel like
he`s ready, you know?

He`s... He`s so ready
to change.

He`s... He`s so
full of hope,

and I mean, he wants
to change, you know?

He really wants to
be there for them.

And who else
does he have?
You know?

And, what, and l`m supposed
to watch him go to jail,
or worse?

No, yeah. No.

I mean,
he`s their dad.

We`re gonna...
We`re gonna figure
something out.

Don`t say yes if you
don`t want to, really.

Don`t feel like you have
to do this right now.

No, it`s important.

It`s important. I get it.

Of course l`ll help.

Thank you so much.

Of course.

This is a disaster.

They are conferring
in there,

and want to do that
without me there.

Crosby, we can`t
do that again.

We can`t lose it in front
of the clients, okay?

And you can`t
kick me out
of the control booth.

Okay, you know what?
That`s the least
of our worries right now.

Well, maybe to you,
but to me
it`s a vital concern. Okay?

We are business partners,
we`re not just brothers. Okay?

We can`t bring that
in here in front of
those people, okay?

We are family in there.
You understand that?
Hear me about this.

You need to see
what`s going on in here.

I don`t know, man,
he hasn`t liked
a single take.

I don`t know what`s
wrong. You know?

I`ve done this
100 times.

ADAM: Maybe it`s not you,
maybe it`s something else.

CEE LO:
I just want to go.

You guys taking
a little break?

No, no.
We`re done for the day.

See you tomorrow.

We`ll be in touch.

Well, I think we were
probably just fired.

What?
Mark?

Yeah?

Seth`s gonna
go into rehab.
He told me.

Oh. Okay. Um...

Well, that`s good.
That`s great.

Yeah.

And great
for your kids, too.

Yeah, I think
he`s really trying
to be there for them.

What does that...

What does that mean?
Is... For you?

I mean, just...
Is he trying to be there
for you, too, or...

No, l`ll see him
through it.

Okay.

What do you
think of that?

I don`t know.

I understand why
you need to get
involved and l...

I mean, I would expect
nothing less of you.

But?

I don`t like it.

Yeah.

Good morning.

Mornin`.

Well, what`s the word?
Are we fired yet?

Yeah, I don`t think
they`re coming back, Adam.

Is that how they do it?
They just don`t show up?

Is that how
we`re gonna get fired?

No, maybe they`ll call us
or they`ll probably just
send an assistant down

to grab all
their equipment.
I mean...

I mean... Oh.

There`s just...

Who knows?

Oh, man.

All right, well.

So that`s it, then?

I`m so sorry.

I feel like I let you down,
and your whole family,
and the new baby.

Yeah, well.

We`ll get
other musicians
in here to record.

We weren`t ready.

But you know
what we did?

We gave it our all.

That`s all anybody
can do, ever.

(CLlNKlNG)

Learn from
your mistakes.

We hit a little bump.

What`s this?

Well, I got this
so that we could toast
wrapping up this job.

I guess we`re just having it
a little earlier
than I thought we would.

To the lemonade stand.

To the Luncheonette.

(DOOR OPENS)

CEE LO: Yo!

Good morning.
Hi!

Oh, my gosh.

How are you?
All right!

You guys ready
to hear that again?

Any time you want.

We`re ready to go.
Oh, yes.

Yesterday was kinda
like a suck ass day, man.

Yeah.

Suck ass.
Yeah, it was.

Yeah, I was kinda
caught up in trying
to do it like Janis,

and I really wasn`t
feeling that.

All right.
But I found this
other approach to it.

Erma Franklin`s version?

Have you ever heard that?
CROSBY: Yeah, yeah.

That`s a little
more soul, right?
Exactly.

Yeah, yeah.

That`s my thing,
so we`ll try that today.

That`s gonna
be good.

All right, cool.
So, l`ll see y`all in there.
Peace.

All right.
Yeah. Cool.

ADAM: Good to
see you, gentlemen.

Oh, man.
Listen to me.

Yeah?

Don`t worry about
my family here, ever. Okay?

We are business
partners here.

That is not
your responsibility.

You just gotta go in there
and make great music.

Okay.
All right, kick ass.

(SlGHS)

CROSBY: Yeah, hold on.
Hey, Adam?

Yeah?
I need you, man.

(ZEEK MUMBLES)

CAMlLLE: Oh!

No, like, she`s really
out, right?

She is knocked out.

Hi.
Oh, wait a minute.

She`s asleep!

I got to propose a toast here.

SARAH: Oh, my goodness.
If you don`t mind.

Get ready.
Kristina and Nora, okay?

ALL: Nora!

Of course, and to
Adam and Crosby

and their new
business venture.
Of course.

What about Jabbar?
This is really good wine.

Yeah.
There`s other people,
but they`re irrelevant.

Thank you for dinner,
in advance.
You`re welcome.

SARAH: I didn`t know about
the absent people toast.
Oh! Yeah.

SARAH: You know,
if you`re not here.

JOEL: There`s a whole side
of them we didn`t even...

So Sydney was really,
really wiped out.

Gosh,
l`m so hungry.

CAMlLLE: Is this soccer now?
By the way...

JULlA: lt`s softball.
CAMlLLE: Oh, softball.

She told me
about the thing.

And we are happy,
more than happy
to help out.

Seth? No, you know...
Oh.

Yeah?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Anyway, we`re...
Hmm? What?

Huh?

What?

Nothing, Mom.
Nothing.

Just a secret.
Is there a secret?

CAMlLLE: Seems like it.
JOEL: lt`s not...

Come on. Oh, there is
something going on.
JULlA: Oh, my God.

CAMlLLE: Secrets at the table!
What`s happening?

JULlA: This is junior high.

No, I wanna know
what`s going on?
What`s up?

I`m sorry.
SARAH: Mom and Dad,

Joel and Julia
are giving me money
to put Seth in rehab.

Are you kidding?

No.

Why? I mean,
wait a minute. I...

Dad, this is how
l`m handling it.

I told you, l...
Well, what the hell did
he ever do for you?

You`re kidding, right?

I mean,
after we talked, Sarah?
This is what you...

He didn`t ask you for money?

Julia, you can`t give
this guy money!

JOEL: Zeek...

That`s enough.

I respect that you`re trying
to protect your family.
I understand that, I do.

But you have to respect
the decision that
my sister-in-law made here.

You raised two smart,
wonderful girls.

And this one,
I mean, she`s opened
her heart here.

And anytime you do that,
it`s the right choice.
And you know what?

Even if you`re not
comfortable with it,

we`re gonna give money
to whoever we want.

And we`re gonna adopt
from whomever we want,

however we want.

And you`re gonna have
to be okay with that.

You`re out on the street

Looking good
Looking real good, baby

And you know deep down
in your heart it ain`t right

Oh, it ain`t right, darling

But you never, never, never
hear me when I cry at night

Whoa!

Yeah, I tell myself
Whoa!

That I can no longer
stand the pain

But when you
hold me in your arms

Oh, I say it
all over again!

Want you to come on
Come on! Come on!

Come on, baby!

Take it!
Take another little piece
of my heart now, baby

And break it,
break another little bit
of my heart now, honey

Hey!
Have a

Have another little piece
of my heart now, baby!

You know you got it,
if it makes you feel good

Take it!

Take another little piece
of my heart now, baby

Have a

Have another little piece
of my heart now, baby

And take it!
Take another little piece
of my heart now, baby

Have a

Have another little piece
of my heart now, baby

Take it!

Take a little piece of me!

Have a

Break my heart again!

You know you got it
if it makes you feel good

Yeah!

Come on!

We have it! Come on!

Yeah, we got that!

KRlSTlNA: Mommy gonna
burp you, honey.
Can you burp?

(NORA GURGLlNG)

Hey!

Hi!
You`re up.

I`m up. Sort of up.

Oh.

I am finally finished.

Honey, it was great. Oh.

Uh, I got her.
She didn`t burp.

So, try to get her
to burp a little bit.
Okay, all right.

Honey, it was fantastic.
Good job.

I think
this recording studio`s
gonna work. You know?

I think so.

All right.

I gotta go lay down.
I just... I gotta lay down.

Okay.

Just for a little bit.

I got her, honey.
Get some rest.

(SlGHS)

ADAM: Come on.

(NORA BURPS)
Ah! There we go.

Mind if I use this? (SlGHS)

See ifwe can get
some sleep, huh?

(DOOR OPENlNG)

Haddie!

(LAUGHS)

Mmm-hmm. I`m awake.
I`m just lying here.

(SlGHS)

I read your essay.

We don`t have to talk
about it. It`s fine.

It`s awesome.
It`s really, really awesome.

I`m glad you like it.

You should be really
proud of yourself.

Thanks. Thank you.
Mmm-hmm.

I feel good
about myself.
(LAUGHS)

Do you have notes?

I don`t really
have any notes.

No?
No, not a note.
Not even one.

It`s that good.

I`m sorry it took me
so long to read it,
you know?

It`s okay.
I`m sorry that
I got upset.

I guess I just miss you
a little bit.

I miss you, too, kiddo.

(SlGHS) Oh, babe.

I love you.

I love you, too.

A lot.

What`s that?

The alarm didn`t
go offyet, right?

Mmm-hmm.

Two or three
more minutes.

Okay.

Yeah, there`s a bunch
of mango here.

Yeah, you really,
really went all out.
Want me to do it?

Looks awful.
All right.

Do you like mango?

Mmm. I hope.
I`ve never actually
eaten it, so.

Wait, my mom`s
allergic to mango.
I mean, l`m not...

Should we...
Do we want these?
I`m gonna...

I don`t know,
do you like blueberries?

I mean,
we may as well, right?
Just for the color.

All right, go for it.

Yes.
All right.

We just did all of them.
That`s gonna be one
big, blue smoothie.

Yeah, okay, great.
All right, so we have,

uh, blueberries, bananas,
mango, yogurt and...

...we`ll go for
strawberries.

This can`t be about me.
She can`t get me in trouble.
I don`t even live here.

I mean, I am nervous though.
Why would she tell us
she needs to talk?

What did you do, perv?
Did you do something wrong?

Nothing. No.

Hey, l, um,
I made eye contact.
I took your advice.

How did it go?

It went well, (LAUGHS)
to say the least!

Did you get a kiss?

My little brother
got a big kiss.
Uh-huh.

Maybe that`s what she
called the meeting for.
Yeah?

Dad.

Hi, Son.

It`s been
a long time coming.

I know that
and l`m sorry.

But your mom`s helped me
come to an important
decision in my life

and I wanna
tell you about it.

I`m gonna go to rehab.

And I know it`s gonna be
a long, hard road.

It`s gonna be difficult.

But l`m gonna do it.

And I need
your support.

And we can
get through this...

as a family.

Yeah.

Yeah.
