Parenthood (2010–2015): Season 5, Episode 10 - All That's Left Is the Hugging - full transcript

You got a text
from Ed Brooks.

You guys have been texting
each other a lot lately.

What are you doin' here?
I called you five times.

And I've texted you.
That's my fault.

This is not about you, Peet!

Julia, we will talk about this
when I get home.

Are you taking those--
those pills again?

It's an old prescription
from before.

I don't even need it.

It felt like you were
hiding it from me.

I'm not hiding anything
from you.



- Are you okay?
- She's fine.

Take your hands off her, dude.

[Screaming] Ryan, stop!

I just got off the phone
with Bob little,

and I conceded the election.

[On tv] Talking about the win

of Bob little
over Kristina Braverman.

It was a very close race.

Yes, it was, Mike.

[Continues indistinctly]

Mmm.

So good.

That's the good thing
about losing.

More cake for us.



- Kristina.
- What?

What?
You don't have to

keep it together.
You're not in a room

full of campaign workers.
It's just me.

Honey, I'm fine.
I'm totally fine.

I didn't know how much
this campaign was--

- okay, all right,
well, maybe I'm not fine.

I mean, I personally would like
to take a sledgehammer

to a Bob little cake
right about now.

I mean, look.

That campaign took
a lot out of me, honey.

I'm excited to have my
life back, be with the kids.

I get to cook again.

It's fine. Dig in.

Congratulations, ma Braverman.

- Exactly, ma Braverman.
- Bob little's being interviewed

on the news again.
Okay, Max.

Why don't we turn the TV off?

He called mom
"a worthy opponent"

on channels 2, 4, 6 and 7.
5 doesn't get local news.

- Hey, buddy...
- And she is.

If you turn off the TV,
I'll give you a fork.

- You think this is a good idea?
- Yeah, it's fine.

- It's a lot of sugar.
- No plate.

- It is not unlimited cake.
- No nothing.

Just dig right in.
Okay, take it easy.

Can you take it easy
on your mother's face, please?

- Dig right in.
- Wow.

Honey, look how crazy
this looks.

[Growling]
I'll get you, Bob little!

[Cackles]

[Laughs]

Oh, yeah.

You like that?
Oh, yeah?

Stop it!

You stop!
Stop!

- Freezing in here.
- Hi.

Oh, there you are.
Finally!

Hi. Mrs. Deitchman, I got
your messages about the heat.

I'm so sorry.

He's gonna be here first thing
in the morning to fix it.

- First thing in the morning?
- Oh, no, no, no.

How are we gonna survive
the night?

Uh, uh, extra blanket?
[Chuckles]

- It's freezing. We need heat.
- I understand.

I mean, it's California.
Come on, guys.

We can all just huddle up
under a blanket.

- I'm freezing.
- This is ridiculous.

- I'm not a young woman anymore.
- She's not taking us seriously.

I am taking you seriously.

I need you to look
at something in my apartment.

- I know about the heat, Carl.
- Excuse me.

It's not about that.
Now, please.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I've got another problem.

I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Please tell me
that pipe has not burst.

Please.
What is going wrong in here?

Plumbing again?
No problem in here.

Yeah, the problem's out there.
Oh.

[Laughs]

It's warm in here.

Why is it warm in here?

Well, the thing is we live
two blocks from a drugstore,

and yet it takes a genius
to go down there

and buy a few space heaters.

Hmm.

Well, I don't know
about genius, but--

- and I have wine

which I got at the wine store
next to the drugstore.

Saved you
from an angry mob, and...

That was genius.

Why don't you have
a glass with me?

Oh, that's okay.

It's late, but thank you.

Or you can just talk to
Mrs. Deitchman in the hallway.

Maybe just one.

Hey.

What if the kids
come downstairs?

I don't want them to know
that we're fighting.

I'll tell them I fell asleep
watching TV or something.

Okay.

Joel.

Babe, this is not what we do.

This is not us--

not making up,
sleeping on the couch.

Look, I'm really sorry...

That I barged in on you...

And that I spoke
to Peet that way.

I should not have done that.

But I...

Joel, I don't want to spend
the night like this.

It scares me.

Babe.

We have to try to fix this.

For the kids.

For us.

Okay. We'll try.

Okay.

I bet Mrs. Deitchman

is still waiting out there
in the hallway.

Poor Gladys.
You know what?

She's kind of mistaking Berkeley
for Nagqu.

[Laughs] Where?

Nagqu. Uh, it's in Tibet.

Did some work there,
and it gets freezing,

but you adjust,
and... You adjust.

Do you?
"You adjust,"

says the man
with the ten space heaters.

Adjusting to the nice,
cozy, cozy warmth.

It's nice the way
they swivel, though.

[Jazz playing]

You know, you're not...

You're no longer
my most annoying tenant.

- Not possible.
- No, no.

You've been dethroned
by Mrs. Deitchman.

That's not fair.

Mrs. Deitchman has multiple
pets in a cat-free building.

- Ah, LA, LA, LA...
- Yeah, I told you...

I do not know about the cats.
LA, LA, LA--

- uh-oh.

Oh, you're kidding me!

Yeah, it's official.

- What?
- You're a slumlord now.

No, I had nothing to do
with this.

This has to be
because of the heaters.

- No.
- This has got to be specific

to your apartment.
I don't know

how that can be possible.
The whole building is not out.

Listen, just knock off
10 bucks from my rent,

I'll go flip the breaker.

Excuse me,
I'll flip the breaker.

- Okay, super.
- Yeah.

- Go ahead, flip the breaker.
- Okay.

I mean, you know
where it is, right?

I know where the breaker is
in this apartment.

It's, uh...

[sighs]

Hey.
Hey.

Oh, my God, Zack.

It's okay.
You should see the other guy.

I'm fine, by the way.

And make sure you tell
G.I. What's-his-ass--

tell him he cost us a week
in the studio.

- Oh, God, I'm sorry.
- A week in the studio.

And that's just my money
going to waste.

I'm sorry, Oliver.

Yeah, apparently,
you can't drum

without, you know, two hands.

I don't even know what to say.
I'm so sorry.

- Amber.
- It's okay.

Crosby and I want to see you
up in the office.

It's all right.

I'm sorry.

Hey, drew.
Can I ask you a loaded question?

Yeah, what's up?

What's your deal with Natalie?

- What do you mean?
- Well, I have some information.

But first, I've got to know
what your deal is

so I know how to deliver it.

Um, I mean, she's my--
my friend.

We're friends.
What do you mean?

What's the information?

Well, dude, if she's your
girlfriend, it's not good.

Oh, well, she's not.

So what's up?

Look, it's just that
last night,

I saw her mackin' on some
other dude at zeta gamma pi.

Oh, dude.
You're not bumming, are you?

No.

I hope you're not pissed
I told you.

I just felt like
I needed to be a bro here.

Yeah.
Thanks, um...

Thanks for bein' a bro
and all that.

Anytime, hombre.

Anytime.
We're not really dating.

We're kind of like friends
with benefits, you know?

Hmm. No harm in that, man.

Just make sure that next time
you hit that, you wear a condom.

'Cause she is givin' benefits
to all her friends.

Um, well, thank you, Berto,
for tellin' me that.

I just--I really want to say
one thing.

Okay.

I totally understand
how serious this is

and the consequences,

and I will clear out my desk
if I'm fired.

I won't make a problem
out of it or anything--

- we're not--
we're not firing you.

But you're right,
this is serious.

And we're lucky that the band
didn't press charges.

[Sighs] Thank God.

Thank you, guys.
I'm sorry.

Amber, are--are you okay?

I mean, yeah, I'm fine.

Because, you know, has he
ever gotten violent with you?

Oh, my God, no.

- Because that--
- No, you guys.

He's not like that at all.

He would never, ever do that.

- We didn't think so, all right?
- Never.

But just we're saying
that if that ever does happen,

you have to tell us.
Of course.

You've got to promise us.
Tell us, or you tell your mom.

Of course, but I--
but he would never do that.

He's--he's a really good guy.

All right, Amber.
Listen, we like the guy.

But until this blows over,

Ryan doesn't come
to the luncheonette.

- I understand.
- Okay.

Did you tell your mom about it?

Um... Not yet.

- But you're going to.
- Yeah, I will, I promise.

Good.

Hey.

Hey.

You seriously are
the most efficient person

I've ever met in my entire life.
Now, I just didn't want you

to have to look at
all this junk.

Oh, it's okay.

I'm actually feelin'
pretty good, you know?

- Yeah?
- Considering.

Well, I'm pissed.

I am.

You know, we came close

and our message got out there,
and I feel like...

Yeah, yeah.

You know, we got a lot
of attention for education.

That was good.
But we didn't win.

So--and you know?

I've worked
for several candidates,

and you always
want your person to win.

But this one stung, I swear.

And it's--it's that you would
have made an amazing mayor.

You really would've.
Yeah.

You know what?
I would have.

I would've made
a damn good mayor.

You'd have made the best.

Well, what else can
I help you with?

Anything?
Nothing.

I mean, I pretty much
got everything.

I guess all that's left
is the hugging.

Yeah.

Thank you.

It was a real pleasure.

Stop the hitting.
Can you--I'm--

- you're ridiculous.

- Guys.
- Dad!

- Hey!
- Hi.

- How are you guys?
- It's pizza night?

What are you doing home
so early?

Oh, you know. I--

- did you quit your job
like mom did?

No, bug, I didn't quit my job.

I just decided to come home
a little early so we could, uh,

make pizza together.

Now, who wants to pick out
the first toppings?

Both: I do.
- All right.

Hands need to be washed first.

These savages.
[Kids giggle]

This is really nice.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

All right. So what do we
want on this thing?

- I want cheese...
- Pineapple and tomatoes.

- And some of these peppers.
- And those red things.

Uh, well we'll just have
to split it down the middle.

Hi-yah!
[Both laugh]

And that's gonna be
a delicious pie.

All right, let's do this.

[Sighs]

Hey.

Hi.
Uh...

I thought you were--

I thought you were
gonna be at work.

I didn't go in.
I called in sick.

It's pretty much true.

I'm--I haven't eaten all day.

I'm going crazy here.

[Sighs]

I'm wondering what we're doing.

I don't know.

What do you mean,
you don't know?

I don't know.

I haven't...

[Sighs]

I had a very intense day trying
to pick up the pieces of this.

I'm sorry.

You know,
I've been at work all day

at my dream job that I worked
really hard to get...

Defending you, and...

You know,

we're losing money
because of what you did to Zack.

He's so messed up,
he can't even play.

Tell your uncles
I'll pay them back

every penny.
It doesn't matter.

It's not about that.
I'll go in there and apologize

and take all the blame for it.
No, don't. You can't!

You can't go in there.
They don't--

they don't even want to see you.

They don't even want you
to come there after you...

What about us?

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

Well...

I love you.

I love you, too.

And... This is the problem.

This is the problem.

I can't keep overlooking

the things that are happening
in the real world

just because
I love you so much.

I can't.
It's been perfect.

Things have been perfect.
Things have been perfect?

- They have been.
- Ryan.

- What?
- You know,

you do this thing where you--

you disconnect from me,
and I--and I let it go.

- What are you talking about?
- The thing with the pills.

You know, you--you lied.

You lied to my face
about taking those pills.

No, I didn't.
There was nothing to say...

- Yes, you did! You did lie.
- What do you mean?

What was it, a doctor
gave you the prescription,

but you weren't--
He gave me those pills,

and I don't want to take them.
So you're not taking them.

You can't even tell me.

You don't even trust me enough
to tell me the truth.

The truth--
the truth is they're--

they're pills that are--

were given to me for--
for anxiety.

I didn't even want them.

And I took--
I took two today.

See? This is the thing!

It's not about whether or not
you take the pills!

It's about the fact that you
don't trust me enough

to be honest with me...
I do trust you.

And tell me!
I'm your partner.

I'm not hiding anything.
I'm just having a hard time!

Do you understand?
Well, so am I!

I'm having a hard time,
and I feel alone,

because I can't find you!

So I need some time to think
about whether or not

this is gonna work
in the real world.

Period! Okay?

So that's it?
I mean...

Sarah.

- Hi.
- Hey.

I was just comin' in
from outside.

Really? 'Cause it looked like
you were goin' out,

and then you saw me,
and you went back in.

No, no, no.
I-I--

well, you're right.

I was--I was coming out,
and then I forgot something,

so I'm just gonna go back inside
and get the thing I forgot.

Back in,
I'm gonna come back out.

You know, in and out.

Okay.
I'm so glad we cleared that up.

- Yeah, so goin' in.
- You're goin' in.

Yeah, dying for coffee.

Bye, Carl!
Do you want to have coffee

and talk--later.

I'm trying to study, Natalie.

I'm bored.

Well, I'm sure that there's
a frat party or something

that you could go to, so...

[Laughs] What?

What was that comment?

Nothing.

Did you have fun the other night
at zeta gamma pi?

Whatever that was.

Oh.

Were you there?

No. No, I was not
at a frat party.

I was watching house hunters
or something with those--

those girls down the hall.

Did you hook up
with any of 'em?

No, we were watching
house hunters.

I mean, you could've
if you wanted to.

Like, really.
Wouldn't bother me.

Okay.
I'm very confused.

I was under the impression
that it was just us hanging out.

Or hanging out, whatever.

Drew, you're so sweet.

Frankly, sweet just starts
to get boring.

- I wasn't bored, but...
- Hey, come on.

I'm offering you
no-strings-attached

noncommittal sex here.

It's like Christmas come early.

So you think about that.

Let me know
if you still want to be sweet.

All right. Where are they?

Right here?
Yeah.

All right.
Snug as a bug in a rug.

- Night.
- Love you.

- Night, sweetie.
- Can we get a pool?

Uh, no.

We can't.
How come?

Well, because
California building code

would make it
a paperwork nightmare.

- Oh.
- Okay?

Well, Charlotte's
getting a pool.

She's going to have
two houses now.

Her mommy's gonna live in one,

and her dad's gonna live
in the other.

Her dad's house
is gonna have a pool.

So can we go swimming there?

Sweetie, let's--let's talk
about this tomorrow, all right?

Love you.

Sweet dreams.

I didn't have any idea
that ed was separating.

Okay.

I gotta get Victor to bed.
Okay.

At least that guy's
not gonna press charges.

Oh, there you go.

That's a good thing.
Yeah, I guess.

I mean, it doesn't
change the fact

that Amber still saw me
lose it on him, you know?

I just couldn't take it, zeek.

It was like every time I came
around, he's taunting me.

They're baiting me, you know?

And then they're standing there

like they've just created
a miracle

because they've recorded
some song,

like it's the most important
thing in the world.

That kid has no idea
what's important.

You know?
What's really important.

Yeah.

Yeah, I remember
when I got back.

It was, uh, always funny to me

how people got all twisted up
about stuff that didn't matter.

Wasn't important.

Well, you know,
what happened, though,

was important to Amber.

Yeah, I mean,
that's the worst part of it, I--

I let her down, and, uh...

I don't know,
maybe Sarah's right.

Maybe I'm not good enough
for her.

Well, Amber's her baby.

There's never gonna be anybody

that's good enough
to marry her baby.

Yeah.

What about you?
What do you think?

I think you guys made
the decision to get married.

I think that's a good thing.

I think you're trying.
That's the most important thing.

God, I'm trying so hard.

And that's the thing, is, like,

as much as I'm trying here...

It makes me just think,
"screw it," you know?

Screw this life.
And then I--then I go back.

I think about Amber.
Wait, hold it, hold it.

What are you talkin' about?

Are you talkin' about--
No, no. No.

No, I'm saying screw
this civilian life,

this--this--trying to do this.

You know, zeek, I hated
Afghanistan, you know?

I hated it.

But at least there, everything
makes sense, you know?

Like everything.

Everything there,
like, mattered, you know?

It's important.

And then it's like--

I feel like I can't get my--
my mind off of that place.

I just can't disconnect
from over there, you know?

It's like I can't--
I can't shake it.

I just feel
out of sync here still.

I feel--I just--

- well, you're
gonna have to decide

which world you belong in, son.

It's, uh--it's hard.

Hmm.

This is so nice, honey.

Mmhmm.

You know, just the three of us
at the park?

We haven't done this in so long.
Yeah, it's been a long time.

What have you got there, Nora?

There she goes.

- What's in there?
- What about work, though?

Are you gonna get in trouble?

I think work can wait
for family time.

- Good.
- Yeah.

Hey, excuse me.

I don't mean to interrupt this.

Just--aren't you that woman
who's running for mayor?

Um, I'm Kristina Braverman.

Yes, I was.
Hi. Well, this is

quite the celebrity sighting
here in our little sandbox.

Well, I don't know
about that, but--

- actually, this is perfect.
The timing.

I don't know if you know this,

but our slide over there
has been,

like, cracked
and messed up forever.

It's got duct tape on it.

It's really a hazard,
and so, I mean,

would it be
totally unethical of me

to promise you my vote

if you could agree
to get it fixed?

My oldest daughter,
she just loves the slide, so...

Oh, well, I--the election
was a couple days ago,

and I lost, so...

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

It's awkward.
[Laughs]

No, it's okay.

It's okay.
It was a close race.

Kind of a low voter turnout,
though.

Not a lot of concerned citizens.

Right.

Uh, so now that you've lost,

what are you gonna--
what are you gonna do?

What's next?

We are gonna build some
sand castles with our daughter.

Sure. Got it.

Well, if you could do something
about the slide,

that would--
that would be really great

because, you know,
your daughter could get hurt

on that thing, so...

- What was that?
- [Laughs] I don't know.

What am I supposed to do,
duct tape it?

You got to fix that slide.

You got to fix--
she has to fix that slide.

Somebody could get hurt, okay?

It could be your daughter.

This is serious.
Stop it.

The thing is that I like her,

but she's completely open
about, like, hooking up

with other guys,
which feels very weird

saying in front of the baby.

It's fine?
Oh, hooking up?

She can't retain anything.
They don't hear?

- I don't think, I hope.
- Well, she still wants

to hook up with me, though,
also.

Ooh, that's--
well, that's good.

And it's--it's--
this is bad timing?

The baby and all?
No, no, no.

I just--I have to bounce.

If don't bounce, she'll wake up,

and then we can't talk
about your girl problem,

which so far doesn't really
sound like a problem.

- Yeah, I know.
- You don't like

hooking up, or...
I know.

I don't know
what the problem is.

I don't know
what's wrong with me.

Well, there's nothing wrong
with you.

- Yeah. For sure.
- No, no, no.

There's nothing wrong with you.
Do you want to have

this conversation over a beer?
I feel like--

first of all, am I allowed
to give you a beer?

- It's, like, 9:00 though.
- It's 9:00?

I've been up since 5:00, so
it kinda felt like it was noon.

It doesn't matter.

Listen, I think what's going on

is that you're
a one-woman guy.

That's just who you are,
you know?

Yeah, I just tell her that?

No, no, don't tell her that.

I'm identifying what type
of person you are currently,

which is not to say
that you can't evolve

into some other type of person.

Like me.
I used to be like Natalie,

you know, playin' it
fast and loose,

spreadin' it real thin.
Liberated, whatever.

Now, I have someone that I love
that I think is perfect,

and I'm happy as a clam.

So I changed. Right?

I mean, she could change,
I guess.

No, no, no, drew.

You're me in this metaphor,
but backwards.

- I don't get it.
- You're upside down.

Inverted.

I don't--I'm confused.

You're not loosey-goosey,

but maybe you'll learn to--
listen.

Okay, I'm gonna lay it
out there,

and if you tell your mother
I told you this,

I'm just gonna deny it.

And then it's gonna be
your word against mine,

and I have a lot more history
with her.

You are young.

This is your one opportunity.

Do you understand
what I'm saying?

Sleep around.
Have some experiences, you know?

Get good at your craft

'cause when it ends,
it's gonna end permanently.

You hear me?
The brakes don't just fade in.

They lock up.

You know when the last time
I had sex was?

No.

Do the math backwards
from this one.

- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.

So you feel--you feel better?

- Yeah, I feel--all right.
- Okay.

So enjoy yourself.

Enjoy your freedom.

Enjoy your youth.

- [Clears throat]
- Yeah, comin'.

We can't sleep together again.

- Well, hello to you too.
- Hello.

We can't sleep together again.

- Was I offering?
- No, but you will,

and I just want to clear it up
before it happens.

We can't sleep together again.
Okay?

Thank you.
Okay. Sarah, wait.

Hang on.
I'm not sure

what's goin' on here,
but it was a lovely evening.

I had a lovely time,

and I'm not sure why you're
being so guarded, but--

- I'm--listen.
It--okay, yeah.

It was a lovely evening, okay?

But I'm 42 years old.

I can't just be going around
having lovely evenings, okay?

I need to be focusing
on myself and on my career

and, you know,

yes, someday, maybe I will find
a guy who is age-appropriate,

who isn't crazy, who doesn't
have substance-abuse problems,

and socially not awkward.

And you're some of those things,
but it's not about you.

Well, good,
'cause I'm age appropriate.

So I got that.
Okay, well, I'm trying

to set a boundary,
and so here it is.

Respect it, and--okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Okay.

Come on in!

Hey, Julia.

Hey.

Oh.

Uh, I'm movin' out for a while.

[Chuckles]

- Yeah, I heard.
- Colleen thought it would be

easier to sort things out
this way.

Actually, I think she's more
interested in sorting out

how quickly she can find
a divorce attorney.

You know a good one?

Sorry.
That's a bad joke.

I haven't really been
sleeping this week.

Ed, um,

I need you to stop calling me
and the emails and...

- What?
- It's just--

it's inappropriate.

It's not fair to Joel.

And to me.

Wow.

You came here in person
to tell me that.

Wow, that just is the cherry

on top of an awesome week.

Actually, I wanted to ask you
something else

that I didn't feel
I could really ask you

over the phone.
So I can't call you,

but you can come over here
to ask me something?

No, it's okay.
Go ahead.

I'd love to hear
what you want to ask.

All of this?
This is not...

My fault, is it?

My marriage is falling apart

because I lost who I was
a long time ago.

And I couldn't figure out
how to make myself happy.

But pretending you're happy
is almost worse

than... Being miserable.

- I'm sorry.
- No, it's okay.

I'm actually okay with...
Being miserable for a while.

At least if you're honest
about it,

you can, you know, wallow
in it a little bit.

So that's what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna go back to my tiny
little divorced dad apartment,

and I'm gonna get
this big old man chair

that Colleen
would never let me get.

I'm gonna sit,
and I'm gonna wallow

in the bittersweet melancholy
of waking up one day

and realizing that your life
didn't turn out

the way you planned.

But that's not what you asked.

No, Julia,
you're not the reason

that my marriage
is falling apart.

I'm so sorry you're going
through all of this.

It'll be okay.

You're gonna be okay too.

Julia--

- all right, I gave
the Booty call thing,

whatever we want to call it,
a consideration,

and I think
that we should do it.

Okay, but I want to have rules,
all right?

- Rules?
- Yes.

I'm pretty rules violates
the spirit

of the spontaneous Booty call.

Okay, I need rules.

They're for me.
Okay.

Because I do not want to go
to some frat party

and see you making out
with some guy.

It'd be very awkward.
Okay, true.

I hear that,
but when do you ever go

to any frat party, like, ever?
Okay.

All right, thank you.

That was rude,
but we'll continue.

[Laughing] No, it wasn't rude.

It was true.

Frat parties
are your zone, okay.

That's where you can go do
whatever you want to do.

All right?
All right, my zone.

- Yes.
- So what's your zone?

Mine's...

It's to be determined,
all right?

- It's so weird.
- Yes, this is very weird,

but, you know, you wanted
this free-spirited thing,

and I just need rules.

Maybe this isn't a good idea.

Maybe it's not.

Um, but maybe
we should just try it.

Maybe we should be
just friends.

Like just friends.

No benefits.

That's not what I'm saying.
I don't want to do that.

It doesn't seem like
that's what you want either.

No.

I mean, I really like you.

And you like me too.

Yeah, I do like you.

It's just not enough?

I'm really sorry.

I-I thought we were
just, like...

Fooling around and having fun.

I wasn't trying to hurt you
with it.

It wasn't my intention.

Okay, I'm gonna leave.

So you can be furious
with me in private.

But just don't be mad
for too long.

I'd really miss
being your friend.

[Exhales]

Contact high.

Whoo!
So come on.

How much did
that little creep beat you by?

Gwen, I don't' want to talk
about it.

- Come on, just tell me.
- I'm not here to talk about it.

I'm here to visit and see you.

Was it a landslide?

I don't want to talk about it.

- Was it my one vote?
- It was two--two points.

- Two points?
- Yes.

What is that?

That is 947 votes.

- Damn.
- I know.

That's like one building
of people.

That's got to haunt you.

That has got to kill.

- Stop it.
- Sorry.

- It's not nice.
- I'm dying.

It's like a hall pass
to be blunt.

Plus I'm really high.

[Laughs]

Do you want some?

- No, I'm good.
- Come on.

No. I'm good.
I don't want any--

- are you square?
- No.

- You're a little bit square.
- I'm not--

I used to smoke
that all the time.

You smoked
'cause you had cancer.

No, I smoked
because I liked it.

- Oh.
- I liked it.

Well, there's
your two points right there.

You got to go
after the stoners, baby.

It's Berkeley.
947 stoners, not hard to find.

Mmhmm.

What's wrong?

Come on.
Nothing.

- Come on.
- Nothing's wrong.

You know I'm
just rambling, right?

I just--I feel like--
I don't know.

He went negative.

And if I would've gone negative,

I think that would've been
the difference.

You know?
It's like...

It does haunt me.

I didn't do it.

Listen, so what?

Next time.
Next time.

- Next time.
- If you want to do it,

you can do it.

That's the thing
about beating cancer.

You get a next time.

You can do whatever you want.

Do whatever you want.

I'm just sorry
I won't be around to see it.

[Scoffs]
You're such a pushy pusher.

[Laughs] There's my girl.

So no charges were filed
or anything.

And everything's--
everything's fine.

Everybody's okay.

But I had to tell you.

I'm sorry
I didn't tell you before.

I...

Felt scared and I--

- to tell me?

[Laughs]

I didn't know how to--

how to bring it up,

and I knew...

I knew that you're--

you're nervous
about things with Ryan,

and I--
but I need you to know

that, you know,
he loves me so much.

And, that being said,

if it is at all possible,

if we can try to talk about it,

person-to-person with you--

not, you know, as my mom--

I would really like to get
your advice on this

as a person
that I trust and respect

because it's--
Okay.

- I need a little help.
- Okay.

You know?

I'm just a person
who is not your mother.

Okay.
[Both giggle]

Okay.
And...

I used to worry, in fact,

that you would have trouble
falling in love--

like, really falling in love--

because, you know,
we have this kind of toughness.

And I would say

you're just so... Brave

and so strong.

And I know that,

no matter what,
you can handle it.

[Sobs] Thank you so much.

[Sobbing] What about as my mom?

As your mom...

I think...

Just because you're tough
enough to handle it,

doesn't mean
it's what I want for you.

Hey.

Hi.

Can we talk?

Yeah.

I've been thinking a lot.

- I have been too.
- Can I go first?

I've been thinking a lot

about how...

You've been through so much.

Things that I-I can't
ever imagine or understand

no matter how much I want to.

I mean, we're so different,
you know?

[Sobbing] And it's made this
really hard.

- Amber, Amber--
- No, let me finish, please.

It's also...

It's also what makes us
so amazing together.

We have the ability to grow
and change,

to make each other better.

And we respect each other
enough to try,

and that's all that matters.

We can get through anything
like that.

And--and I hate that you hurt,

and I hate
that there are things that...

I can't understand about you,

but I don't care,

because I love you.

I love every part of you.

I love everything about you,

and I want to love you
for the rest of my life.

[Sobbing] I want to marry you

and I want to have kids
with you.

And I want to be your wife.
No, Amber.

I want to be with you forever.
No, no, no, no, no, Amber.

I'm sorry.

I'm-- can't. I can't. I--
You can't what?

Ryan.
I can't do this... Life.

What do you mean?

I went back, and I reenlisted.

It's done.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Since we had date night.

Yeah.

I think you're right.

I think it's exactly
what we need, you know?

No animated movies,
no family bowling night, just--

- damn it.
- Dinner at angelo's.

Need some help?

I'm really glad
we're doing this.

Yeah, me too.

All right, Kristina, come on.

I'm coming, honey.
Where are we?

What are you--
We're here.

- What are we doing?
- We're here.

- We're here where?
- Yeah.

Just trust me.
Dinner?

- Just trust me.
- I trust you.

What is in the brown sack?
Trust me, okay?

You're gonna see
what's in the sack.

Okay?
[Laughs]

Honey, I don't--
All right, Kristina?

Why are we in the middle
of the street?

- Just stand right over here.
- Okay.

Okay?
And look up there.

- Are you surprised--
- Boom.

Tonight, we're gonna let Bob
little know just how we feel.

Adam, what?
Are you kidding me right now?

This is our date night.

I want us to have a special
farewell to Bob little.

I don't want to have
a farewell.

Okay? And I want you to tell
him how you feel, okay?

Adam, I just want
to go to dinner.

I really--I'm fine.

We're gonna go to dinner,
honey.

I know how much it meant
to you to win.

You're so sweet.

And I love that you're putting
on a brave face.

I'm fine.

And that you're making
the best of losing.

- Okay.
- But now is the chance for us

to get back at him for running
a smear campaign,

for disrespecting you,
for disrespecting our family.

Honey, we have a babysitter
for 2 1/2 hours now.

Now guess what?

It's our turn.

- You don't have eggs.
- Okay?

We're gettin' him back.

- I'm not doin' it.
- Take an egg.

Chuck it at him.

This is so juvenile.

- You want me to go first?
- I'm above this, Adam.

- I'm gonna go first, okay?
- Are you okay?

Bob.

You know what, Bob?

From the first time I saw you,

I didn't like the looks of you.

Okay, you little weasely-faced--

- honey, you're so sweet
to do this,

but that is really--

wow, that was a good hit.

- That felt good.
- It was really good.

- Okay?
- That was--wow.

Okay.
Yeah.

Go get him.
Do it, honey.

This is your chance
to go negative.

If I do it,
can we go to dinner?

Yeah. Do it.

- Okay.
- Okay?

- Okay, one time.
- You got it.

Ready?

Get him, hon.

Yeah!
Whoo!

Nice hit, hon.

- That was good.
- That was a good shot.

Oh, my God, that actually felt
kind of good.

- How about another?
- All right.

Yeah.

Go.

- Bam!
- Yeah!

[Laughs]

- Nice.
- That was perfect, honey.

Right on the side of
his weasely little mouth.

That was amazing.

Now tell him what you think
about him.

Okay.
You know what, Bob?

You're a jerk.

You're a jerk, and you're mean,

and you're negative,

and that was an awesome throw.
Go get him.

Yeah!
And you know what?

You're not gonna be
a good mayor.

I would've been a good mayor.
That's right.

- Yeah.
- [Laughs] Whoo!

A little more hair gel
for you there, Bob!

Whoo! Whoo!

I nailed him.

- Let it out.
- You jerk!

- Let it out.
- You little weasel.

Let's get him.
Argh!

Whoa!

Whoo!
Ohh!

[Car alarm wails] Oh, God.

Uh, we should get--uh, you
got--I got it.

I got the eggs.
I got the eggs.

Okay, you take 'em.

Go, honey.
[lndistinct chatter]

Here, take the eggs!
