Parenthood (2010–2015): Season 4, Episode 15 - Because You're My Sister - full transcript

You know, we have
all this time together

and he just doesn't like me.

That little guy needs you.
You are such a good parent.

Your dad and I are going
to finalize your adoption.

There have been times
where we felt criticized.

Kids need discipline.

Discipline will be administered

the way we see fit,

not the way you see fit.

I'm Gwen Chambers.

You're gonna get really confused
really fast.



Call me.

I want to fix it.

I think we just need
time apart.

I am still in love with Sarah,

and I'm planning
on taking her back.

I know what I want.
He knows what he wants.

You gotta figure out
what you want.

- Honey...
- Yep.

What's the name
of that restaurant

you're always talking about
that you want to eat at

in the city, the French joint?

Oh, uh, Cafe des nuits.

- Cafe des nuits.
- It's so good.

I want to go there.
Jabbar.



You know what would be great,
is to go there

and eat at the chef's table.

I hear that's the thing to do.

Ooh, yeah.

Yeah, I heard
that's super cool.

Yeah, I heard it's super cool,

super expensive,

and really hard
to get a reservation.

Yeah.

Not to mention you go there

and eat all this
amazing food...

- Mm-hmm.
- Drink amazing wine,

then you gotta sit on the bridge
in traffic

on the way home.

- Yeah.
- It's, like, not even worth it.

Yeah.

Unless, of course--

now, this is crazy talk,

but, like, maybe if you had
a suite at the W hotel,

overlooking the bay.

Then maybe it would almost be
worth it to go.

Yeah, maybe.

Well, we would need something
really important

to celebrate, though, in order
to justify that expense.

You know, I can't even think
of what it could be.

Like, maybe like
an anniversary or something.

- Our anniversary.
- Like a one-year anniversary.

- That's what I got us!
- No, you didn't.

Yes, I did.
We're gonna eat there,

and we're gonna stay
at the W in our fat suite,

- and it's gonna...
- Baby!

be amazing and romantic.

You're so good.

Oh. Well, what about Jabbar?

We need a babysitter.

I mean,
she's living here for free.

She can at least baby-sit.

- It's like the one silver lining.
- Yeah, but you messed that up

when you didn't apologize
to her like I asked you to.

- I'm not getting into all that.
- Well, yeah--

- She's gonna be ecstatic.
- No, she's not.

I'm gonna be out of the house
for 24 hours.

- She's gonna be dancing around--
- Excuse me.

She may actually like that.
Yes, mom?

Jas, um, where is my suitcase?

Why do you need your suitcase?

I've decided that I'm going
to move in

with your brother.

Mom, come on.
You don't have to do this.

- I know.
- His place is too small.

- It'll be fine.
- You don't have to leave.

It'll be fine.

I would prefer to be someplace
where I'm wanted.

- You are wanted.
- Okay.

You're wanted, right?

I just would like you
to get me my suitcase, please.

Thank you.
Good morning, Crosby.

Good morning.

Are you still gonna ask her,

though, about babysitting?

- You know what? Pfft.
- What?

I'm just teasing. Hey.

Come on.

Hey, there's a taxi outside.

Yeah, that printer's
busted again.

It took me like two hours.

Gotta get this boarding pass.

Boarding pass?

Where are you going?

I gotta go to Minnesota...

- Now?
- by the way. Yeah.

Can you--
you can just watch--

By the way? Yeah.

I gotta go for Ruby
and the school thing.

She's having trouble
getting enrolled.

I gotta go--
I don't know.

I gotta yell at some people
or something, so, um--

Okay.

The guy for the, uh,
the tub's coming.

- The tub guy?
- Yeah, I got the leak.

- Uh-huh?
- The guy with the accent.

- Anything else?
- All right. No.

That's it.
I'll be back in like two days.

- Okay, bye.
- And then, um...

- Mm-hmm.
- We'll, uh--

you know, we gotta--

we gotta do some talking
when I get back.

Okay, when you get back.
Have a good trip.

All right, I-I'll--

- Go, go. It's okay.
- I'll call you. I'll--

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
- I'll call you from the car.

Yeah, call me,
call me, call me.

Very good, Kristina.

So things are looking
very, very good.

- That's great.
- Wonderful.

Your tests have come back.
Your panels are good.

Panels are good.
Well, that's great.

- That's awesome.
- Yeah.

That's awesome.

So does that mean
everything is--

that I'm clear
and I'm good to go and--

I think so, yeah.

We still have, you know,
your final chemo to do.

- Right.
- After that,

I'm gonna schedule you
for a P.E.T. Scan.

A P.E.T. Scan? What?

That's like an M.R.I., right?

It's a scan of the entire body.

But you just said
that everything was clear.

Why would I--

Wait, so is that
just a precautionary thing?

Why would I need
a P.E.T. Scan?

Well, a test showed

some minor liver blood
abnormalities.

We think it's probably
from the drugs.

But just to be safe, it's
something that we need to do.

Okay.

So wait, are you--

Is it possible that the cancer

could've spread somewhere else
in my body?

- I just said--
- He said he doesn't think

- he's gonna find anything.
- Right.

This is minor,
maybe from the drugs.

It's just something that's
important for us to do

once you've finished treatment.

If there's anything else
for us to deal with,

we need to know about it.

Okay.

Okay.

Why do I have to wear a suit?

Because it's exciting.
It's a big occasion.

Yeah, it's fun to dress up.

And, Sydney, you get
to pick out a dress.

I don't need a dress

'cause I'm not going
to the ceremony.

What?

I don't think it's a good idea

for Victor to be adopted.

Syd...

He's not truly a part
of this family,

and some stupid ceremony
isn't going to change that.

Okay, Syd--

If you want to have
a private conversation--

I get that I have no choice

about you going
through with it,

but I'm not going.

I refuse to put on a dress
and make believe I'm happy--

Sydney.

Go to your room.

- I'm already going!
- Yep.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my gosh.

Hey.

- Hi.
- I got you these.

Thank you. Wow.

Sure.

Can I come in for a sec?

Yeah. Sure.

Well, I, uh--

you gave me some good advice,

and I listened to you
this time.

I went back to Joel.

- I heard.
- Oh, okay.

Double shifts all last week.

Wow.

So, I mean,
I've paid off the--the window.

- That's great.
- Yeah.

And now I should be making
some money, good money.

You know, and, uh...

I've, uh, I started doing
therapy again.

And it's good.
I feel great.

And the, uh, pills
are under control.

Everything's under control.

Buddy.

I love you so much.

I think about you every minute,

I feel like, of every day.

I-I know this
was all my fault.

But I'm really working
and changing.

And I feel good now.

And, um,

I just hope
that you can remember

the bond that we have.

You know?

You're my best friend
in the whole world.

I feel like I've known you
my whole life.

I don't even know...

What it was like before you.

I don't even think about.

So...

I don't--I didn't, uh--

I just wanted
to give you the flowers.

I wasn't--

Uh...

Okay, put those in water,
or else they'll...

♪ I want what you want ♪

Okay. You all right?

Good morning.
How are you?

- Hi.
- Hey.

- Hey!
- Hi, Mary. How are you doing?

Ohh, your last treatment.

- My last treatment.
- Yes!

Thank you so much.

My favorite nurse.

- Aw.
- You're such an angel.

You're so sweet.

I just want to say
thank you so much

for everything you've done.

We actually brought you
something.

You've been so comforting
to us, so...

Oh.

- We wanted to comfort you.
- My God.

- Yeah.
- You didn't have to do this.

I mean, really.

- Not just a blanket.
- Ooh.

- You know the way to my heart.
- Something in there.

- I know.
- Yeah, your liver.

See you got your bag thing
going there.

Yes, I do.

Magazines, snacks.
Everything ready to go.

- It's all in there. Yep.
- Yep.

He's a good one.

- Yes, he is.
- Yeah.

Thank you again.

Hey, Adele.
How you doing?

Joe, hi.

Hi. Last one, huh?

- Last one.
- Yeah.

- You're looking great.
- Thanks.

Hey.

Hi.

Hi, Kristina.

What's, uh, what's going on?

I relapsed.

I'm sorry.

It's not good,

but I'm gonna fight it.

I don't give up.

I never give up.

Hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Uh, sorry, I--

do you have a
couple minutes to talk?

Do you want to come in?

No, um, I just gotta
get this all out

as quickly as possible
and then leave.

I just, um--

I've been thinking a lot
about you and I

and everything, and, um,

and I just needed
to tell you...

To be honest,
tell you that, um,

I still love you, and--

and I know that I'm
always gonna love you

because you're the one for me.

And we've come through so many
different things,

and--and we've fought
for who we are.

Because when it's just us
in a room together,

it's amazing.

And I think you know that too.

I should've fought for you,
and I didn't,

and now I am.

I want to be with you,

and I know that you have
your thing going on,

and my ultimate goal
is your happiness,

but I think that

I'm the guy
that can make you happy.

And I think when you look
inside yourself,

you'll realize
that I'm the one for you.

Mark.

And that's what I have to say.

And just think about it.

And then come find me.

Sarah, I need you to bless this
as a dress shoe.

So your sister Julia will think
of it as a dress shoe.

- Dad, I--
- She's never gonna buy that...

- And you're the older sister.
- as a dress shoe.

She'll listen to you, Sarah.

She doesn't listen to me.

- Yes, she will.
- In matters of fashion, dad?

No. I can't help you.
Not a chance.

- You're gonna need to wear...
- Hi.

- A buck or an Oxford or--
- A buck?

- Um--
- No, but, you know--

Hey, I got--
I heard from Berkeley.

And?

Yeah, I--

I got in.

- Really?
- What?

Yeah. I got in.

- Oh, come here.
- Way to do the fake-out.

- Oh, Drew!
- Congratulations, grandson.

I can't believe it.

- Sweetheart, that's great.
- Oh, my gosh.

- I can't believe it.
- Sarah.

- I just can't believe it.
- Oh.

Me neither.

Oh, you deserve it, honey.

There's financial aid
and all that.

We'll make it work.
So don't worry.

- That's a good school for you.
- Don't worry about it.

- I'm very happy for you.
- Don't you think?

- I can't believe it.
- Berkeley's a perfect school.

- Yeah.
- You're the first one

in our family
to get into college.

- This is great!
- It's your first choice.

- I know.
- Your first choice school.

- I know.
- Oh, my God.

Hey, um,
you know, what Syd said,

you know she didn't mean
that, right?

She sounded like she did.

Yeah, well,
I wouldn't worry about it.

She's gonna be
at the ceremony tomorrow.

- I don't care.
- Yes.

Eh?

Eh.

- Right?
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Victor.

So she's gonna pick out
the suit.

That's how this goes.

But why don't you go
pick out the tie?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Okay.

Options? Think.

I like this one.

Oh, no.
Oh, this is not the tie.

It's cool.
I like it.

- This is the tie.
- This is--

Hey, do you have
another one of these?

- No. Honey, no.
- One for a little guy,

and one for--

- This is awesome.
- Oh, my God.

How's mom?
Is she mad at me?

You're good.

You? S.M.D.H.

S.M.D.--

Shaking my damn head.

- Hmm.
- What?

He only speaks in text codes.

I don't know.

Hey, do you think that smell
is permanent,

or it's just temporary?

What smell?

That kind of musty,
mother-in-law,

guilt-trippy-type smell

that seems to be stuck
in the sheets.

Don't be an idiot.

- Hey.
- Gimme the sheet.

Why are you so upset?
She wasn't even that upset.

No, she was hurt.
That's why.

- It didn't read that way to me.
- Really?

Yeah, it seemed like someone
playing the victim.

Plus she would love to be
at Sekou's house,

and he'd love to have her.

Right?

You're excited
to have your mom.

I live in a 700-square-foot
apartment.

Yeah, that's rough.

All right, honey,
check this out.

Ooh, I like this.

Chateau du "whit".

I think you need to brush up
on your French there, Kristina.

Clearly, that is
chateau "do it".

Okay?

- Oh, my God, honey.
- So that's right there, okay?

- You're so corny.
- Here you go.

Thank you for this.
This is really a surprise.

- All right.
- It's so nice. Yeah.

Just wait one second.
Let me...

Have a little toast.

Okay.

It's official?

To my wife.

My husband.

Thanks for hanging in there
with me.

We've had quite a year.

- God, we sure have.
- I love you.

Bottoms up.

- Mm.
- Ahh.

Mm.

That is--

That's good.

- Thank you very much.
- Mm. Mm.

Yummy, yum, yum.

- What is that? Ow.
- What?

- Did you hurt yourself?
- Ooh, ah, just...

- What did you do?
- One second.

Ooh! Oh.

- What?
- What could that be?

- I don't know.
- Well, check it out.

Okay.

I'm a little scared.

- Little surprise.
- Cash and prizes?

Just a little surprise.

- It's Hawaii.
- Yep.

I know what you're thinking.

I checked with Dr. Bedsloe.
He said it's fine.

Got the whole family ready
to take care of Max...

- Adam, um, I--
- And Nora and Otis.

It's all set.
All you have to do--

pack a bathing suit
and a good book, honey.

I really wish that you
would've talked to me

before booking this trip.

Don't worry about the money.
We had a good month

at The Luncheonette, okay?
We're fine.

I'm not worried
about that at all, honey.

We don't know that I'm healthy.

We do, honey.

- We don't, no.
- We do.

- We don't.
- I talked to Dr. Bedsloe.

Honey, you saw Gwen.
You saw what happened to her.

- I mean, she was doing fine.
- I know.

And then, out of nowhere,
it just, like--

it came back,

- and it's in her lungs.
- I know that. I know that.

It's everywhere,
and she's scared.

I feel terrible,
and I'm sorry that she's scared,

but that's not you.

- That's not you.
- How do we know that?

- We don't know that, Adam.
- Yes, we do, honey.

Listen to me.
We don't, okay?

Until I have that test,
we know nothing.

So I'm sorry,
but I can't plan a vacation

or a trip or go celebrate
something...

- Okay, I'm sorry.
- When I don't know that I'm--

- Okay.
- I'm sorry.

Let's take a beat.
Let's just take a beat.

Okay?

All right.

I want you to cancel the trip.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm gonna go check
on our nugget.

I'll check on her.
You don't--

No, it's--babe, it's okay.
Thank you so much.

All right.

Yeah?

Hi.

Wow.

- You look great.
- You like it?

Yeah, I love that.

I just got three new ones
at the wig shop.

Oh, yeah.

Really, uh, sexy.

- Brought you some brownies.
- Oh.

Thank you.

Honey, I'm sorry.

- Oh, no, no, no.
- I'm so sorry.

I--no, I overreacted
to everything, and--

- I'm sorry.
- No, I shouldn't have--

- You didn't do anything wrong.
- Honey, I shouldn't have rushed

into making Hawaii plans
without checking in with you.

Okay, most women
would love that.

It was selfish.
I was missing you.

I'm...

I'm tired of sharing you
with...

Cancer and everybody else.

I just wanted you for myself
for a while.

Pinky Tuscadero?

- Yeah.
- Yeah, and The Fonz?

I love her.
You're The Fonz.

Heyyy.

I can get you a leather jacket.

Hey.

- Will you wear it?
- Come here.

- With no underwear?
- Come here.

Come here, you.

Please?

Mm.

Hi.

- Oh, wow, what's going on in--
- What?

- That's good.
- Oh, my--geez.

What the--
what did you guys--

Didn't mom teach you
how to knock?

God.

You having an afternoon delight

- with strawberry shortcake?
- All right, okay.

You need to warn me about that.

- Come on, hit the road, Cros.
- What do you need?

- Like, 38 seconds?
- Get out.

How does he know?

I'm just kidding.

Oh, my God.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Can I come in?

Yeah. Yeah, please.

I have something to say.

Uhhuh?

I'm going to try
to make it work with Hank.

I have to get my life together.

I could never explain to you...

How much I love you.

[T]

I'm gonna make it work
with Hank.

Um...

I-I don't--
I don't know what to s--

to say.

I'm sorry.

Good-bye, Mark.

Bye.

Takes the snap,
and the blitz is on!

We've never seen
anything like this kid!

Okay, hey, careful.

Oof!

- I'm sorry.
- Are you okay?

Yeah. I'll--
I'll pay for it.

- I told you to be careful.
- How much is it?

It's expensive.

- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.

You don't have to pay for it.

No, no, let's just--

let's just--
how about this?

Let's just go back

to the no football
in the house rule.

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

All right.

So you're not gonna change
your mind

about adopting me?

Like, not have the ceremony?

No.

Okay.

I'm never gonna change my mind.

Okay.

Okay.

I want you to stick around.

Okay.

How've you been feeling?

- I'm okay.
- Yeah?

- Thanks.
- Yeah. That's good.

Yeah.
Thanks for, um...

Everything.

For being there for me.

Yeah, of course.
I mean--

you know, I still think
about you all the time.

Like, constantly.

Yeah.

Me too.

Well, I also wanted to tell you

that I got into Berkeley.

Whoh, my God.

Yeah.

- Drew, that's amazing.
- It's pretty crazy.

I know, I--
it's pretty shocking.

It's incredible.

Yeah, I got the letter,

and the first person
I wanted to tell was you.

I'm really happy for you.

Thank you.

I got into Tufts.

Are you kidding?

Nope.

Oh, my gosh.

That was, like,
in your top three.

I know.

- Yeah.
- That's amazing.

- Yeah.
- That's in Boston, huh?

It is in Boston.

Wow.

That's awesome, though.

Thanks.

All right, well,
I just wanted to--

to say hi and--

so I guess I should--
should go.

All right, well...

I'll never forget you.

Yeah, I'll never forget
you either.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Can I talk to you for a sec?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

I just had to tell you
some things.

Okay, um...

So we haven't talked
about this yet,

but a few years ago,
I was in a car accident.

I was drinking, and, uh,

it was really bad, you know.

And I almost died,
and it--

you know,
it just made me realize that

when you have people
in your life that love you,

at a certain point, you know,

you have to take responsibility
for that.

And it means something,
and it matters.

And, you know, I don't know.

I guess what I'm trying
to say is that

I love you.

I love you more
than I ever thought

that I could love anybody.

I don't want to waste
one more second

doing anything without you.

And I need to know

that you're gonna try
to be strong

and accept the fact
that I love you

and try to be responsible
for that,

because I'm scared,

and I don't think that I
can do it alone,

and I don't know--

You know?

Yeah.

- Okay.
- Listen.

There's so much
in my life that's...

Doesn't make sense
and is not clear.

But you are, okay?

- We are.
- Yeah.

This.

I love you so much.

I love you so much.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Reading a book.

What do you want?

Um, I want you to come
to my adoption ceremony.

Why?

Because you're my sister.

Fine.

- Get out of my room.
- Okay.

Um, looks like
she's gonna need a dress.

Cool.

Mm.

- Wow.
- That is tasty.

Mmhmm.

I wish salad always tasted
like--thank you.

That's a nice dressing
on there.

- Yeah, the balsamic.
- Yeah.

Now...

Our signature dish.

This is a wagyu filet

with a mousseline of
smoked chanterelle mushrooms

and black garlic.

Oh! Mm, mm!

Oh, it is so good.

Mm-mmm!

Oh, that's so good.

Mm. Mm.

Mm!

Nice pairing as well.

Mm.

- Hey.
- Yeah?

What's going on?

Do you want to eat
out there or something?

- No, no, no.
- You don't like it in here?

- I'm just, um--
- You hot?

No, I'm just worried
about my mother.

I'm sorry.

Look, I think her moving
in with Sekou

was kind of a good thing,
you know?

Now that he's helping shoulder
the responsibility,

it's like in my family.

When one of my parents
gets too crazy,

I just send 'em
on to the next sibling,

and I think it's kept all of us
alive, to be honest.

I don't know.

I don't think
it's the same thing.

- You know--
- Why not?

My mom raised us on her own,

and she worked really hard
to do that.

And with Jabbar,
for five years,

she was the other parent,
you know.

She watched him
when I was going to school

and going to work,

and she got up in the middle
of the night to feed him.

I'm sorry. I just--

I hate that she doesn't feel
welcome in our home.

You know, it's--
it's killing me.

And I'm not choosing her
over you.

I just owe her everything.

I get it.

Anyways,
we're gonna need her help

when the baby gets here.

When the who?
When the who gets here?

We're having a baby.

No!
You're pregnant right now?

Happy anniversary.

No! Are you kidding?

- You're pregnant?
- Yes.

- You have a baby in here?
- It's our baby.

Come on!

"Fitna."

"Fitna" is not a word.

Ma, "fitna" is a word.
It's like I'm fitna--

- Use it in a sentence.
- I'm fitna--

- Hello!
- Cold out there.

What's wrong?

Why are you two here
on your anniversary?

We just wanted
to come by and see

how everything was going.

Oh.
Well, everything's okay.

Sekou loves having me.

Yes, I do.

What's that?

- That is not funny.
- That's my next word.

You guys are playing scrabble?

Is that food? Please?

Yes, well, my son likes
making up words.

Mom, that was a real word.

- "Fitna."
- "Fitna" is a word.

- Use it in a sentence.
- I'm fitna eat.

"Fitna," not a word.

- Not a word.
- Not in this country.

Why are you trying
to cheat her, Sekou?

Okay, guys.
I'm fine, really.

You can go back
to your celebration.

Well, look, we were at dinner,

and we were with a new friend.

And, um,
that new friend thought

that I owed you an apology,

and I agree.

I'm sorry that I talked to you
the way I did

when we were talking
about Jabbar,

and I won't let it
happen again.

It's okay.

And, um,
so then this new friend

wanted to meet you.

So now we've--
we've brought him over.

- Mm-hmm.
- I hope that's okay.

Sure.

Okay, um,

they're in here.

And we wanted you
to be the first to know.

- Oh, my God.
- I'm pregnant.

Oh.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh, my baby.

Yeah.

You know, he's banging
with the hammer,

and he just keeps looking
at me.

He's getting agitated.
He's like...

"The leek iz a wassah."

And I was just like,

"okay, here's $300."

So I don't know what was wrong.

- But it's fixed.
- The lick was wassah.

Well, that's how you play
the game with him.

Trust me.

Well, I got something
I want to tell you.

I, uh--

I've got a bonus coming
to me from Christmas.

'Cause you forgot to give me...

- No.
- My Christmas bonus.

No, if you haven't gotten it
by now--

You'd like to promote me

to head technical advisor.

I don't like to act...

Impulsively.

I like to...

You know, think things out
and all that.

But sometimes I just want
to take a leap of faith

and do what I feel is right.

And...

This feels like it's something
I have to do

and I want to do.

I, uh,

I'm gonna move to Minnesota.

That is not what I thought
you were gonna say.

- I'm gonna go back tomorrow.
- Tomorrow.

I'm gonna find an apartment.

And then I'm gonna come back,
take care of things here,

and I'm gonna close the shop.

I'm gonna move there.
I'm gonna move there.

I, um--

here's the thing.

I never met anybody like you.

- Ugh.
- No, that's the truth.

I never thought I would.

I never was looking
to meet anybody.

You're, uh...

Very special.

But my daughter--

I was watching her,

and I just thought,

she's gonna be in college.

And--you know,
I'm gonna blink...

- I know.
- And she's gonna be in college.

Believe me.

And if I'm not there,

if I'm like
an absentee dad--

No, you could never do that.

Yeah, I don't want to do that.

I know.

Wish there was another way.

It's okay.

This one comes
with hot cocoa today.

Grandma, my hair's great.

It's perfect, mom.

- Wow.
- You did a great job.

- Thank you.
- Hey!

Hi.

- Hi.
- Hey, Zeek.

Yeah, glad you could make it.
Thanks.

- Wouldn't miss it.
- Thanks for doing this.

Oh, sure.

- You look pretty nice.
- It went well.

But we're just waiting
for the results.

- You look great.
- Thank you.

- I look like Gloria Swanson.
- This is for you.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah, he is
a berber/schneider skink lizard.

They're recommended
for beginners,

so you probably won't kill him.

- Okay.
- Probably.

- Hey, brother.
- You need to think of a name.

What are you doing over here?
You brooding?

- No, snap-shotting.
- I see.

- Yeah.
- So how's it going?

I haven't seen you in a while.
What's new?

It's true.

I mean, if only there was
some cool big news

you could reveal to me.

Did somebody tell you?

Come on, man.
Look at these people.

- I know.
- Of course!

But I wanted to tell you alone.

What is wrong with you?

Like, how could you ever think
I would be

anything other
than the proudest person

in the entire universe?

I don't know.
I wanted to tell you personally.

And--

I love you so much.

I'm so proud of you!

I'm excited.

Thank God you're staying
close to home.

Uh, excuse me, Victor Graham?

Oh, yes, that's us.

- Yay.
- The judge will see you now.

Come in.

- Oh, your honor.
- Hi.

- We have, uh--
- We have, uh--

- Yes, yes, come on in.
- Bravermans.

- All right, yes, I--
- There's actually quite a--

This is Salsa.
He's a lizard.

- This'll take a while.
- All right, well--

That's a good idea.
Just, uh--

Okay, all right.
Come on in.

Come in, please.
Come in.

- Huh? What?
- Okay, close the door.

Promise--all right.

Okay, every--
please, hello?

Everyone, please.

All right, welcome.

- Ahem.
- Thank you.

- Hi.
- Hi.

All right,
so Joel and Julia Graham.

- Yes.
- Yeah, hi.

- That's--yes.
- So, now, you understand

that by signing
this adoption agreement form,

you agree
to take care of Victor

as your own legal child.

Right? To provide
for his health, his welfare,

his educational needs.

We do.

Yes, your honor.

Victor, do you understand?

Do you agree to this adoption?

Yeah.

Okay, then.

All right.

Well, unless anyone has
anything to add,

I'm ready to make it official.

Your honor, if I may.

You may.

As grandparents,
my wife, Camille, and myself

will do the best we can

to give Victor what we've given
our own children,

which is our undying love
and support.

And also,
being a baseball aficionado,

uh, I would like
to teach him the art

of fielding the hot grounder.

- Okay.
- But hey,

that can wait till later, and--

Your honor, I'm sorry.
If I may.

I'm Adam Braverman.

I'm Zeek and Camille's
oldest son.

And I promise to be your uncle.

Listen, your--
your aunt Kristina and I

are no substitute
for your stellar parents.

But we promise
to be there for you

no matter what.

You can always come
to me, Victor,

if you need help,

and I promise
I won't rat you out

to your mom.

I can give you dating advice.

- Yes, yes.
- And I can help repair

the terrible damage that
her dating advice does.

What is this? What--

I'm willing to teach you
how to ride a motorcycle

and play an instrument.

Oh, that's much cooler.

Your girl troubles
will vanish immediately

once you know those two things.

And you can come
to my house anytime.

We can play Xbox,

and you can sleep over
and stuff.

Now that you're adopted,

you can officially hold
my lizards.

- Okay.
- Thank you, Max.

I promise to love you, buddy.

Yeah.
No matter what.

- Me too.
- Okay.

Okay.

Quite a family
you're coming into.

All right, on this date,
January 24, 2013,

Joel and Julia Graham

have officially adopted
Victor Graham.

You're now legally their child.

You have all the rights
of any natural child.

Okay.

I will hereby sign this order

confirming the adoption.

- All right.
- Yes!

Thank you.

- Congratulations.
- Yay, welcome.

Victor!

Whoo!

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

- All right, Victor!
- Whoo!

- Congratulations.
- All right, Victor.

- Welcome to the family.
- Welcome to the family.

Get in here.

Judge, can I use your gavel?

Sure, why not, kid?

- Yay!
- Let's go eat.

Go ahead.

Whoa! Max.
Okay, okay--

Hey, Max!

- Wait, wait.
- Watch out, please--Max.

- Stop. Don't do that.
- No, no, no, no.

- Can I try it once?
- Nope, nope, nope.

- Take it easy.
- All right.

- Max, that was great.
- Come on, Max. Let's go.

Can Max and I go
to the vending machine?

- Yeah, you bet, buddy.
- Okay.

- Of course.
- Thanks, mom.

He called me mom.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

- You're welcome.
- Sorry.

- Good luck.
- Okay.

Hold the doors.
Thank you.

Beautiful family you have.

They're something, aren't they?

Yeah.

Hi.

I'm, uh,

headed to the airport.

Mmhmm.

And I wanted to--

can you give this
to your nephew,

the--the kid who doesn't look
at anybody?

- Max?
- Yeah, yeah, Max.

You look down to look out,

so you don't have to look
at people.

But you still see people.

Somebody gave it to me
when I was his age,

and I started
taking pictures, and--

I don't know.
Give it to him.

If he doesn't like it,
sell it on ebay.

Have a raffle or something.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Okay, so the other thing
I wanted to say was that, um,

I think I might love you.

Yeah.

Think I might love you,

and I know that
might sound crazy,

and maybe you don't share
the feeling,

but that's okay.

I love you too.

Come with me.

Okay, let's go.

No, I mean, why not, right?

I don't, uh--

there's only two people
that I care about.

You know, you're one of them.

All right, look.

Just think about it.

Yeah.

It's gonna be good news.

Hey.

Let me cut to the chase.

You're cancer-free, Kristina.

Oh.

Sorry, but can you say
that again?

The P.E.T. Scan showed
no irregularities.

This confirms my impression

that the blood test abnormality

was a consequence
of one of the meds you got.

You are cancer-free.

Thank you, doctor.

- Oh, my God.
- Thank you.

Now, of course,
you still need to have

- your radiation therapy.
- Yeah.

We can schedule you for that
in four to six weeks.

And this is something
that we need to track closely.

You need to come
to regular exams.

Your next mammogram
will be in three months.

We don't use the word "cure"
for five years.

I understand.
I totally understand.

But for now,
take a deep breath.

Relax.

Enjoy yourself.
Enjoy your family.

You deserve it.

Thank you so much, doctor.

You saved my life.

- Thank you, doctor.
- You really did.

Thank you.

- Gimme a hug.
- Thank you too.

Ah.

Thank you.
