Parenthood (2010–2015): Season 4, Episode 5 - There's Something I Need to Tell You... - full transcript

Kristina shares heavy, emotional news with the family; Julia makes a life changing decision while Joel supports Victor in a new activity; Sarah experiences an awkward moment at work.

Sports. They're an incredible way to make
friends.

Why did you and Julia
make me do that?

- Zeek Braverman.
- Ryan York.

For us, I just feel like
sometimes we're invisible.

You're not invisible to me.

- Who's that guy?
- Aunt Sarah's fiance.

You're not as awful
as I originally thought.

Kristina's sick, and you're
the first person I'm telling.

Sorry some of this stuff
is gonna fall on you.

I'm gonna need your help.

I didn't go to work today.



I know it sounds ridiculous,
but I couldn't leave him.

♪ I don't know
what I can do for you ♪

♪ You make my heart beat,
beat, beat ♪

Hi.

You were supposed to be here
a half hour ago.

- Uh, uh, I can't...
- Mommy... not like that, daddy.

Daddy can't do my hair right.
What do you mean, "like that"?

That's... that's supposed
to be like, right?

- It's not messy.
- Honey, I can't make it.

Victor, I've asked you
three times to get dressed.

You gotta get back upstairs
and put something on right now.



Why can't I wear this?
This is fine.

Because I said so.
Hey, what was that?

I said, I'm stuck at work.
I'm so sorry.

Okay, meaning
you'll meet us there.

She can't meet us there.

How am I supposed
to get my hair done?

I've got this. I'm talking
on the phone right now.

Meaning I am not coming.

I can't come
to Sydney's recital.

- Hey, hold on, hold on, honey.
- I couldn't find a shirt.

- It's been two...
- All of them are dirty.

She's been doing this
for two months.

You gotta be there.
What's she saying?

Your mom can't make it tonight.

She's not gonna make it to...
Wait, what?

I'm the lead.
This is my show.

She promised she would be there.
Yes, I know.

But it's not going to happen...
I hate her!

She's ruining everything!

Joel, I-I-I'm just...
I'm... I'm really...

uh, yeah, I gotta scramble.
I love you.

I'll see you tonight.

Crosby, $400 at diesel?

I thought I was
the clotheshorse in the house.

Yeah, look, I...

you think this happens
all on its own?

I gotta spend a little cheddar
to look like this.

$400 of it, though?

How bad is it?
Let me see this.

It's bad.

Okay, well, look at this.

Biscayne grill,
Rigliano's restaurant, right?

I'll get reimbursed
for all those from Adam,

so there's at least 200 bucks
here that he'll pay me back for.

It's not that bad.
Why is he paying you back?

Is he... Did he lose a bet
or something?

No, no, he always buys lunch.

Always?
That doesn't seem fair to him.

Well, he makes more money,

so he usually, you know,
pays for the incidentals.

- He makes more?
- Yeah.

Why?

Because he took
a big pay cut to come work

at the luncheonette.
Plus he put in more seed money.

And you came up with the idea,
and you brought in clients.

And he had a family
when we started

that, you know, I didn't, uh...

And now you do.

- It's a little weird, isn't it?
- Yeah, it is.

- You want me to talk to him?
- Why wouldn't you?

Uh, I don't know,
uh, family members, money.

If it'll help you out,
I would be happy to talk to him.

- You'll talk to him.
- Definitely.

- About my paycheck.
- I will.

- With the company, okay.
- I will.

- I'll... I'll handle it.
- Gotcha.

Coming.

Hey, kiddo.
Hey.

- How are you?
- Good. How are you?

I'm well. Good.
What's up?

Oh, well, I came
because, uh, I heard that

Max was... was gonna be running
for the president.

Both: School president.
- Yeah.

He's running
for student council president.

You know,
I-I brought these, so...

That is so sweet of you.
You came over to help?

- Yeah.
- Come in, come on in.

Come in.
He's actually, uh...

Hanging out upstairs
with guacamole, so...

Cool.

- Yeah.
- Awesome. I'll, um...

I'll go... I'll just
go up there, I guess.

Amber...

Did Uncle Adam
tell you something?

Uh... He... he didn't say much.

It... you know,
just that and that...

I just wanted to help out
and I didn't know how,

so I thought maybe...
Great.

- Didn't know.
- It's fine, okay? Just...

I'm just looking at some photos
of Haddie from school right now.

Pretty cute stuff.

She emailed me a couple
of her and her buddies.

Amber, come on.

I'm gonna be okay.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay, yeah, once it's exposed,
you put it right in there.

That's the, uh, developer.
Put it all the way?

Yeah, just lay it right down.
There you go. Yeah.

- Just leave it or move it?
- No, no, you just leave it.

So Ruby texted me again today.
Again?

- Yeah.
- Aw, that's so nice.

Yeah, her mom, uh,
she's going away

in, like, two weeks
for a weekend,

and she asked to come see me.

She's actually
volunteering to see me.

That's really nice.

Yeah, so anyway, uh...
Thanks.

Me? I didn't...
I didn't do anything.

Yeah, you did.

Thank you.

Hi

how was the recital?

- Uh, it was good.
- Yeah.

What, uh, what are you doing
at work all night?

Oh, God, I had
to catch up on some stuff.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Honey, what's going on?

Did you sleep at all?

You come home,
and you start making pancakes.

What's going on?

- I screwed up.
- What are you talking about?

I'm l'm...

I missed the deadline
on turning in answers

to a request for admissions.

Okay.

I basically forfeit this case.

It's a big deal.
Okay, well...

I know they love you there,
so I'm sure that it's...

That doesn't...

Babe, we could lose
this client.

There's so much money
on the line.

We could get sued
for malpractice,

and I could lose my job.

Hey, sweetie.

How was the recital?
Fine.

Yeah?

Dad said that you were great.
Uhhuh.

Hey, uh, will you
be working late all week?

'Cause I, uh, have my first
baseball game on Friday,

so will you be there?

- I will definitely be there.
- Okay, great.

That's not fair.

- Syd, come on.
- Well, Sydney...

well, why didn't you work late

on the night
of the stupid baseball game

instead of on my recital?

Bud, that's not
the way it works.

You never missed
my recital before.

Hey, I forgot to tell you,
I have a breakfast meeting.

Is there any chance
that you could drop off Max?

You told Amber?

Yeah, I did.

I needed to let her know
there was something going on

'cause I was asking her to...
It's fine.

I'm glad that you did.

You know, I think
we need to tell people.

It's probably time.

All right.

We have to tell Haddie.

Yep.

She's just so happy there,
you know?

Yeah.

Mm? Hmm?

Are you awake?

- Hmm?
- What time is it?

- Are you up?
- Yeah.

You're up.
We're both up.

You were poking me.

I think we should go jogging,
don't you think?

- Jogging? Why?
- I don't know.

I just feel like, you know,

we're the people who should be
the athletic... People, you know?

Let's go jogging.
Oops.

You wanna go right now?

Yeah, let's go.

Isn't this great?
Still kind of waking up.

Come on.
We never jogged before,

and then suddenly, we jog.

We're, like, a jogging couple.
It's the best.

Yeah.

I love us.
We have the best relationship.

Uhhuh.

What?

- What?
- What... what do you want?

You're pacing and staring.

No, I'm n... I wa...
I wasn't staring.

I'm not pacing.

Dude, you were staring
right at me...

I just entered a room.

Well, if you want something,
spit it out,

'cause I've got to finish this,
'cause I've got

to get out of here early today.

Okay.

What? What do you want?

Okay, uh, well, I was,

you know, I was just
walking down the hallway,

and I was thinking, you know,
we're doing pretty good.

Yeah, we're doing all right.

I mean, we've only been
at it for a year,

and we already have
a few employees.

We got a little extra cheddar
in the bank account.

That's nice.
Yeah, a little.

- Nice little nest egg.
- I wouldn't call it a nest egg.

Mm, it's pretty robust
by my, uh...

Cros, what do you want?
Get to the point.

What do you want?

I thought maybe we
could chat about my salary.

Crosby, I-I can't
right now, okay?

What do you mean you can't?
I want to talk about my salary.

- I know that. I can't...
- When we started this,

I took a pretty big cut and...
So did I

- it wasn't as brutal as mine.
- No, it was the same.

The same amount of brutalness.

We each agreed
to take a 25% cut

in the salaries
that we had at the time.

Okay, we're not doing that well.
Yeah, but that ended up

putting you at almost twice
as much as me.

No, not at twice as much.

That's why I said "almost."
Did you hear that part?

Crosby, we agreed
each to take 25% less

than we'd been making
to make this business work.

- Yeah, I remember.
- Okay?

That's what we agreed was fair.
And at that time...

at that time, it was fair.
But now I don't think it's fair.

Crosby, I just told you,

I have to get
out of here early, okay?

I got a lot on my plate,

so just ask me later.
Let me finish this.

I'm not gonna ask you later.

I didn't want to ask you now.
That was not fun.

I don't want to have
to do this all over again.

All right, I'll tell you what.

Let's just wait
until the end of the year

when we have
a more comprehensive view...

- the end of the year?
- Yeah.

- That's when you w... okay.
- The end of the year.

That's when I want
to talk about that, okay?

Great, great.
Maybe at my retirement party,

we can discuss
increasing my s...

hey, guys.

Hey, Dwayne.
Hey, what's up?

Aw, jeez, I'm sorry
about your giants last night.

It's all good, Zeek.
Too bad about your a's.

Oh, really?
Touche, man. God.

Simon.
Hey, morning, Zeek.

Morning.
Hey, I wanted to follow up

with you about a job placement
for Ryan York.

I... kid did a bang-up job
on my sprinklers,

you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.

I mean, there's got to be
something for him.

York, yeah, I got him
a job interview.

Yeah, but... but
he was a no-show.

- What?
- He blew it off.

Well, maybe he got the wrong
information or something.

Maybe, but he didn't show up.
Hasn't shown up here for days.

Doesn't even
answer his phone, man.

Kid's awol.

How's that history class
that you were telling me about?

Oh, yeah, he's actually funny.

He's actually,
like, really funny.

I just didn't get
that he was joking.

He's like, makes mean jokes,
and it's not, uh...

Not clear at first.
Okay.

- But once you get him...
- A lot of people don't get him.

- Good, I loved history.
- Yeah, but now, I'm in.

Now you get him.

Mmhmm.

What's up?
Nothing.

We're just glad
that you're happy.

- Yeah...
- Haddie, um...

So it turns out, um,
I-I had to go...

I went to the doctor for my...
for my mammogram,

my yearly mammogram, and um...

They found something there.
They found a small tumor.

Just small.
It's so tiny.

It's just miniscule.
They're gonna, you know,

take good care of it.
I'm fine.

They... you...
they found cancer.

- It is... it is cancer.
- Yes.

- But we have...
- Your mom's got great doctors,

and her prognosis
looks really good.

Yeah, we found
the best doctors.

We don't want you to worry.
We just wanted you to know.

You don't want me to worry,
but you have breast cancer?

Like, it's early.
This happens all the time.

Very early.
Like, they caught it early?

Yes.

Happens all the time
to so many women, okay?

You know, they're gonna go in
and take it out,

and so many women
survive from this,

and I'm gonna be
one of those women.

- Yep.
- So...

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay?

Yeah.

Please don't...
it's gonna be fine, honey.

I just... I don't
want you to worry.

We just wanted to tell you
because...

yeah, I just feel
like I'm really far away.

I don't know...

I don't know why
I'm really far away from home.

- All right.
- We want... we want you to focus

on school, okay?
Don't worry about your mom.

Everything's gonna be okay.
And we want you to have fun

and just...
Okay.

Will you ca... like,
when are you going in?

Will you call me?
Will you, like,

tell me what's going on?

- We'll let you know...
- We'll keep you up-to-date.

Everything, okay?

Don't worry.
You focus on yourself, okay?

- Yeah, all right.
- We love you very much.

- Love you. Bye-bye.
- Bye, honey.

Uh... Laura?

Julia Braverman is here.

No way.
Julia Braverman!

Hi, Laura.
Wow, this is a beautiful office.

Congratulations
on all your success.

Well, rumor has it
you're next in line

for partner over at Dengraf.

- Well...
- That's the word on the street.

- Yeah. Thank you.
- So...

So I don't know
if you've had a chance

to go through
all the paperwork yet.

Julia, I know that you filed

your answers to the request
for admissions late.

- Exactly.
- Major screw-up.

Did some first-year associate
screw it up?

Nope, it was all me.

Oh.

Yes, and I was wondering
if there was any way

that you could look
the other way on this.

Julia...

Listen, all you'd have
to do is say

that you agreed
to extend the deadline.

We can file a letter
with the court.

You're asking me
to look the other way

and possibly cost my client

hundreds of thousands
of dollars?

Yes, that is...
That is what I'm asking.

Okay.

So I adopted
a nine-year-old boy.

And it has not
been going smoothly,

and I have not been focused
at work.

I'm... Begging you.

One sec.

Hey.
Hey.

May I come in?

What is it, the sprinklers
are down again or what?

No, no, sprinkler system's
working great.

Man, things are going off
right on schedule.

Uh, no, you just haven't been
to the vet center

for a few days, Ryan.
You miss me?

I guess, yeah.

Well, listen,
as much as I would love

to hear more stories
about foxholes and 'nam,

I'm trying to live my life.
Yeah.

Well, you didn't show up
for your job interview, right?

Oh, so that's why you're here.

I just know that it's hard
to get started again.

No, no, I...

okay, you want
to know the reason

why I'm not going back
to the vet center?

Because I'm sick of people

looking at me
like I'm a veteran.

Like there's
something wrong with me,

like it's broken or something.
I know.

I don't want to be a veteran.
I'm just Ryan.

And the reason I didn't go
to the crappy job interview

is because the job sucked.

Well, you've got
to start somewhere, son.

Okay, save it
for someone who cares.

Please,
don't come back here, Zeek.

Hello.

- Hi, dad.
- Hey.

How you doing?
Everything all right?

- Mm-hmm.
- Haddie...

Yeah, I can't really
stop thinking about mom.

Okay, well, that's...
that's normal

under these circumstances.

We just want you to stay
positive and be strong, okay?

Yeah, I-I'm, like, kind of
having a hard time focusing,

like I should
be doing something.

Look, Haddie, we just...
we just don't want you to worry.

You've got to focus
on your schoolwork, okay?

We're... we're taking care
of everything.

You just don't worry.
Yeah.

I don't have any information,
and I'm really far away,

and I don't know
what's going on.

You know what,
everything's gonna be all right.

Don't worry, and just focus
on your books, okay?

Give yourself a little bit of...
Stop, what?

- Huh?
- What did you say?

Focus on school?

Just focus on school.
Don't be...

dad, it's, like, hard.

I'm just really far away
from home.

I don't know
what's going on, like,

you didn't tell me
any information.

Hello?

Can you treat me like an adult?

Okay.

Your mother's tumor
is 1.6 centimeters, okay?

So they're gonna be able
to do a lumpectomy.

They're gonna be able
to get the tumor out

without having to do
a mastectomy, so that's good.

And... and while they're doing
the lumpectomy,

they're gonna do
a biopsy of two lymph nodes

because that's how cancer
usually spreads,

so they're going
to be able to tell

whether your mother needs
any further treatment,

chemotherapy or radiation,
anything like that.

Okay?
So she might need chemo?

I'm not saying that.
She's gonna be all right.

But that's the truth.
That's as much as I know.

That's where we're at.

And I promise you
I will keep you up-to-date.

I don't want you in the dark.
Okay. How are you?

You know, I'm all right.
I'm hanging in there.

Yep.

It's scary, but I'm okay.

Yep.

So... You've got to know
that your mother is...

So strong,
and she's so positive,

and she is doing everything
she can to get healthy.

And the best thing that you
can do for your mom right now,

Haddie, is just...
you just focus on school.

And you do well,
and you make her proud, okay?

Can you do that for me?
Yeah.

Okay, good.

Listen, I've got to get
back to work here,

but I love you, okay?

Mmhmm.
Love you too.

Bye.

And you understand what all
that means?

Yeah, mom's got cancer.

- Okay.
- But I'm gonna be okay.

- She's gonna be fine.
- Okay.

But she's gonna have
to go through some things,

she's not gonna have.
As much time for you,

she's gonna need to rest,

she's going to need to go
to doctor's appointments.

So you're just gonna have
to be a little more grown up.

Okay.

Do you have
any questions, buddy?

Do you want to ask me
anything or...?

Can I watch TV now?

I have 30 minutes of screen time
banked from last night.

Sure.

Hmm.

Think he cares?
Think he understands?

Yeah.

Why are all these people
coming to my game?

They're not "these people,"
they're your family.

They're... they're our family.
That's why they're coming.

Only grandma and grandpa
came to my recital. So not fair.

- Quit whining. Such a baby.
- I'm not whining!

They're coming to the game too.

- You're the one that's whining.
- You're just a baby.

Hey, don't call her that, okay?

I might not even
get in the game.

You're gonna get into the game.

I'm the worst player
on the team.

- Oh, my God.
- You gave me two knives.

You need a knife.
There.

Mom, do I even have to go
to this stupid game?

- The fire alarm went off!
- Mom.

Mom, mom,
the fire alarm went off.

Mom!

The eggs are burning.

Mom!

Mom, I am talking to you.
Why are you not answering me?

- Guys, what is going on?
- Mom, the eggs are burning.

Mom, we're not... dad.

Syd, Victor,
go to the other room.

- We didn't even get our...
- Now!

- It's not fair!
- Go, go!

Dad, it's not fair!

Hey, honey.

You okay?

Uh-uh, no,
I'm not all right.

Hey, hey, hey, Julia.

Hey, honey, honey.

It's okay, it's okay.
What's going on?

Just breathe here, okay?
Just breathe.

Okay, all right, all right.

All right, just breathe.

- Just breathe.
- I can't do it.

It's too much, I can't...

- what can't you do? What?
- I can't...

Well, it was good
that you went to see him.

That was a good thing.
Mm.

Yeah, I mean, he only slammed
the door in my face.

Well, at least he knew
that there was someone

who cared enough about him
to check up on him.

You know, poor kid,
he's probably confused.

He's certainly angry

and, uh, you know,
doesn't know where he belongs.

Yeah.

It was a long time
before you came back to me.

Well, thank God
I had someone to come back to.

Why are you staring at me?

- Are you a grown-up?
- Why do you ask?

Well, my parents said I need
to be more grown up.

So are you a grown-up?

Well...

I guess so, yeah.

You don't dress
like a grown-up.

No, I guess you're right,
I don't.

And you're shorter than a lot of grown-ups.

That's so true.

So what makes you
a grown-up?

Well, uh, let's see,
I have, um...

I have a job.

And, um, I have a car.

And I have to pay bills

and just kind of do stuff
on my own, I guess.

You're not married.

No, I'm not.

All of the adults I know
are married.

So when are you
getting married?

Well... I guess I'd have
to meet the right person first.

My mom's got cancer.

- Do you want to talk about it?
- No.

Okay.

How many are there?
Give me two if you can.

Mmhmm.

Pretty good
with the sticks, hmm.

Just gonna start with this...
Okay.

And see what happens.

It's the low sodium, yeah.

Hank, I'm having a tough time
not talking about, you know...

- What?
- Look, it's like,

there's only two people
in this office, you know,

so I can't just...
you can't, like, kiss me...

- Okay...
- And then I go back

to Photoshop and never...
It was nothing, all right?

It was nothing.
No, I do understand...

all right, it was nothing.
You got close to me.

I got close to you?
I got...

oh, I got... I get it.
No, I got too close.

I'm sorry.
That was, you know...

you didn't get too close.
I just...

Oh, close enough
that your reflex is just to...

Kiss me?
That's... I didn't...

I didn't know
there was a boundary there.

- It was nothing, it was...
- Oh, my God.

You can't help yourself?

I mean, I know, I'm delightful.

All right, come on,
just cut it out.

You're not all that,
okay, so...

What?

All right, I didn't mean that.

- I-I...
- Just, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean that.
I'm not all that, yet...

I mean, I understand.
I didn't mean it, all right?

- Okay, no, it's fine.
- I just wanna have lunch.

I'm not all that.
That's good, 'cause now I know

you have no... you don't...
Can't I just eat in peace?

- Can I just eat in peace?
- Come on.

Can I just work
in the darkroom in peace?

It's like, now I don't know
if something's gonna happen,

like if I get
too in your space...

fine, okay, it wasn't nothing.

Well, I don't...
I didn't mean...

you know, I'm not...

It wasn't nothing.

You're funny.

You're pretty, you're nice...

I like talking to you.

And I-I know
you got somebody.

So let's just leave it
at that, all right?

Okay? Please?

Yeah.

You wanna know something?

You were rude to me before.

- Look, old man...
- No, no, no, no.

You're doing it again.
You don't do that.

You show a little respect.

Hey, whatever you think
you're doing here,

whatever you think
is going on here,

you've got to stop, all right?
I don't need your help.

Okay, I will tell you
what I think is going on here.

I think you're sitting around
in your crappy little apartment

having your own little pity
party going on in your head,

and you're not spending
enough time

thinking about your future,
Ryan York.

Did you just come here
to analyze me?

Is that why you're here?

No. I came here to invite you
to a baseball game.

You a baseball fan?

Yeah.
Yeah, the giants in town?

Yeah, something like that.

Yeah, come here.

Now there's some people here
I want you to meet, all right?

- This isn't exactly what I...
- Hey, uh, everybody,

I want you to meet
a real hero here.

Hi.
You must be Ryan.

- Hi.
- Hi, I'm Camille.

- Nice to meet you.
- This is Ryan York.

- I'm so glad you could make it.
- This is my son Adam.

- Hi.
- How you doing, Ryan?

Adam.
How are you?

- Crosby.
- That's Max.

And there's
my lovely daughter Sarah

and her friend, mark.
Hi, mark.

And that's drew there.

- Excuse me.
- And that's Camille and Jabbar

and Sydney and Julia and Joel,
and there's Jasmine

and Crosby.
There's a lot of us.

These are my kids.
Did I miss anybody?

Oh, Amber. Amber.

How could I forget Amber?
Hi. Ryan.

I keep the family together.
How's it going?

- Last but not least.
- Nice to meet you.

You have a seat.
And Victor's out there,

so, uh, come on, sit down,
make yourself at home,

and have a good time.
All right.

Yeah.

Hi.
Hi.

See, I don't know

why the hell they're not
putting Victor in the game.

I don't know either.

You know, I'm thinking about
going to talk to the coach.

Zeek, do not
under any circumstances

talk to the coach.
How come?

Hi.

- Did you get my texts?
- No, what?

Dengraf is here.
They're all here.

He said they need
to see you now.

20 minutes.

I have to go to work.
Now?

- Yeah.
- Everything okay?

No, I don't think it is.

- I love you.
- Love you.

- Where the hell is she going?
- Zeek, please.

Jeez.

There we go.
Can I have one?

Oh, I'll take the fish.
I like the fish.

You wanna get one?

Yeah, you get one for yourself.
Hi.

Can we talk
about that conversation

we had the other day?
Listen, Cros...

Yeah, I know
you don't have time for it.

- Hold on.
- But I need to have this, okay?

Listen, it's not
even about the money.

It really isn't.
It's about how you treat me.

- All right, Cros, can I just...
- I'm sick of it, okay?

You have this crazy family
dynamic you're holding onto

where you're
the genius older brother

and I'm
the idiot younger brother,

but you know what,
that may work at mom and dad's

at a holiday or something,
but at work?

When I want to talk,
we're gonna talk, all right?

I'm doing more than half
the work right now.

You've got Amber running around
doing all of this crap

that has nothing to do
with the luncheonette.

You are acting like a jackass.

- Okay.
- Okay?

You're right.
I'm wrong.

Monday morning,
we'll fix your salary.

And I owe you an apology.
I'm sorry.

Sweetie...

What?

- Mama, mama.
- They're really close by.

Do you want
to give me one more?

Are you gonna have
to get chemotherapy?

I don't know, buddy.

I might.
I'm not sure.

You know that it kills
the healthy cells too, right?

I'm gonna be okay, bud.

- I know.
- Okay.

Uh, excuse me, coach,
can you put Victor in the game?

- Yeah, what about Victor?
- Guys...

I mean, every other kid
is playing out there.

No, he's right, he... someone
should go talk to that guy.

- Come on, coach.
- Oh, my God, you fit right in.

- Here we go.
- Oh, this should be good.

Hey, hey, come on, Zeek.

Yeah, hey, coach,
how you doing?

- Zeek.
- Sir, what...

Zeek Braverman here, hi.

You can't be on the field
during the game.

I know the rules of baseball.
I mean, come on.

I also know that my grandson has
been benched the entire game.

There's only one out left,

so I thought maybe
we could have a chitchat.

It's too close to put him in.
This game's too close.

There'll be other games, Zeek.
It's a long season.

Well, if you don't put him
in the game now,

he may not show up
for the other games, all right?

I mean, I got 15 members

of the Braverman family
sitting right there,

and most of them have played
on this field

at one time or another.
Hey, Adam, raise your hand.

Raise your hand, son.

He was the most valuable player
in 1978.

He was one of the best
shortstops you ever saw.

Had great hands, all right?
And that kid right there,

his name's Ryan York.
He's just back from Afghanistan.

He risked his life to make sure

that we could play baseball
on American soil.

We got a problem here?

No, I'll tell you
what the problem...

the prob... look, is it really
about winning the game,

or is it about
just putting the kids in

and letting them participate

and, you know,
feeling like they belong

and just having
a damn good time!

Would you just put the kid
in the game?

Uh, yeah,
you wanna deal with that?

- Victor, get your helmet on.
- All right!

- All right!
- Victor!

Please,
back in the stands, sir.

- I'm going.
- Victor!

- Go, Victor!
- Hey, Victor!

Relax like we talked about.

You got this, buddy.

Easy, buddy.

Sock it, kiddo!

You got this, man.

Victor!

Oh, man.

That's all right.
That's okay, that's okay.

- Come on, Victor.
- Sock it, kiddo!

Nice, easy swing, Vic.

That's all right.

You don't have to swing
at every one, buddy.

You don't have to kill it,
just meet the ball.

Okay, snap those wrists.
Just make contact.

Leon, I apologize
I missed your phone call...

have a seat, Julia.

Where have you been?

I was
at my son's baseball game.

I'm sorry.
My phone was in my purse...

not this morning.

The last six months, Julia.

Um, if this is
about the request

for admissions, I spoke
to opposing council, and...

it didn't work.

They filed a motion to deem,

and the court's gonna grant it.

It's over.

Julia, what the hell
happened to you?

Where have you been?
Your hours have been dismal,

and now you
miss a discovery deadline?

Leon, I'm sorry.
I-I will make this up.

Do you have any idea
what this is costing this firm?

Client's threatening to walk.

This is a multi-million-dollar
screw-up.

Two years ago,
this wouldn't have happened.

A year ago,
this wouldn't have happened.

This is rookie crap.
You're right.

I-I-I apologize.

What we're trying
to say, Julia,

is you were on a partner track.

I was?

You need to tell us right now

that this
will never happen again,

and you need to tell us
that you want this job,

that your focus is 100%
on your clients.

Julia.

I don't think that it is.

I-I don't think
that I am 100% committed.

Julia.

I thought that I
could do it all, but I can't.

Not now, anyway.

Thank you

for these last nine years,
Leon.

I quit.

So right now,
your batting average is 100%,

but for some reason in baseball,
they call it batting a thousand.

Now,
but your slugging percentage

is only .333,
but it's a lot better

than mine still
'cause my batting average

lifetime was .147,
but now I'm retired.

- Sweet.
- Mm-hmm.

So, uh, maybe we
could have, like, a game

of catch one day.
Yeah, why not?

It'd be pretty cool.

What do you think?

You can feel free
to mix and match, you know.

We like those kind
of wacky potions.

Okay.

I'm goin' straight orange
on this, though.

All right,
so I'm gonna take the fall

for the concoction, okay.
Yes. Exactly.

So what do you do, Amber?

Uh, well, my uncles
own a recording studio

in the Haight, so I work there.

Cool.

So you were
in Afghanistan, right?

Yeah.

I'm back.

- Welcome back.
- Thanks.

- Ready?
- Yeah, yeah.

Let's move in together.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Well, what about, um, the plan,

waiting for drew
to graduate, and...

why... you know,
why wait?

Let's do this thing.
Let's do this thing.

All right, yeah.
You think?

- Yeah?
- I like that idea a lot.

Good.
