Party of Five (1994–2000): Season 4, Episode 1 - What a Drag - full transcript

THERE IS NO WAY

THAT YOU DIDN'T HEAR THAT GUY SNORING.

YOUR TENT WAS ONLY, LIKE, WHAT?

10 FEET AWAY?

NO, NOT A SOUND.

I SWEAR, DANA AND I SLEPT LIKE BABIES.

YEAH? WELL, MY BRAIN WAS RATTLING.

BETWEEN THAT AND THE ANT FARM

IN MY SLEEPING BAG,

I NEED A WEEKEND

TO RECOVER FROM MY WEEKEND.



OK. THAT'S EVERYTHING.

LITERALLY. HERE.

HA HA! OH, NO, THAT'S OK. I GOT IT.

SARAH, LET ME HELP YOU CARRY

THIS STUFF IN.

UH, NO! NO, NO, REALLY, I CAN MANAGE.

UM, YOU--YOU PROBABLY WANT TO GET HOME, SO...

SARAH, YOU'RE GOING TO TEAR SOME

LIGAMENTS. COME ON.

NO, REALLY,

IT'S OK. IT'S OK.

BUT I'LL--I'LL SEE YOU AT REGISTRATION?

WE SHOULD GET THERE EARLY SO YOU CAN GET THAT CLASS

THAT YOU WANT.



THEN WE CAN, YOU KNOW, HEAD OVER TO BERKELEY.

OK. I'LL PICK YOU UP?

OH. UM...

NO. YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT'S OK. I'VE

GOT SOME ERRANDS,

SO I'LL MEET YOU AT THAT--AT THAT PLACE,

YOU KNOW, WHERE WE GOT THOSE THINGS.

OK, WHATEVER YOU...

OH. MR. AND MRS. REEVES.

LONG TIME NO SEE.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, SARAH?

WOW. UH...

I WANT AN EXPLANATION.

OH. UM...SORRY WE'RE BACK SO LATE.

TRAFFIC ON THE BRIDGE WAS BACKED UP

TO LIKE THE 5--

BAILEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? LET ME. UH...

HOW COULD YOU LIE TO US?

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'D LIE TO US.

NO, WAIT, MRS. REEVES. HONEST, IT WAS MY FAULT.

I DIDN'T WANT TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY BECAUSE--

BAILEY, PLEASE.

YOU KNOW WHAT? I DIDN'T LIE,

EXACTLY.

WHAT, YOU JUST FORGOT TO MENTION THAT BAILEY

WAS COMING WITH YOU?

HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON ALL SUMMER?

WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT'S--

AND HE DROVE?

YOU GOT IN THE CAR WITH-- YOU LET HIM DRIVE?

DAD, PLEASE.

MR. AND MRS. REEVES, WAIT A SECOND--

STAY OUT OF THIS, BAILEY!

SARAH, INSIDE, RIGHT NOW.

MR. REEVES, PLEASE.

I SAID STAY OUT OF IT!

BAILEY, YOU SHOULD JUST GO,

OK?

NOW. JUST GO.

OH, YEAH.

WHAT'S WITH THE FACE?

YOU DON'T LIKE IT.

NO, IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T LIKE IT.

I'M JUST NOT SURE IT'S...

YOU.

2 WORDS, CHARLIE. "FORGET YOU."

NO, IT'S NOT--OWEN,

DON'T DO THAT.

IT JUST DOESN'T REALLY SEEM

LIKE YOUR STYLE,

THAT'S ALL.

HEY, A LITTLE BREAKAGE

HERE, OK?

I'M IN...HIGH SCHOOL.

HIGH SCHOOL.

IT'S GONNA BE... DIFFERENT.

I'M GONNA SHAKE THINGS UP. MAYBE...

MAYBE EVEN TRY OUT FOR CHEERLEADING.

CHEERLEADING. YOU.

OWEN, CUT IT OUT.

SINCE WHEN DID YOU GET INTERESTED

IN CHEERLEADING?

SINCE I GOT INTERESTED IN BEING POPULAR,

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YEAH, BUT...YOU?

CHEERLEADING?

OH...

OH, YEAH.

THIS IS DEFINITELY...

THE NEW ME.

YEAH, WELL, WHATEVER.

CAN WE PLEASE JUST GET OUT OF HERE, BECAUSE

OWEN IS GOING NUTS.

RIGHT AFTER I STOP BY HOUSEWARES.

WHAT, THE NEW YOU NEEDS A BLENDER?

NO. I WANT TO GET JULIA AND GRIFFIN A LITTLE

SOMETHING FOR THEIR PLACE.

I WANT TO SURPRISE JULIA WITH A...

A LITTLE HOUSEWARMING GIFT WHEN SHE GETS HOME

THIS AFTERNOON.

YOU GUYS ARE COMING OVER, RIGHT? I MEAN, WE SHOULD...

WE SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF...CELEBRATION

OR SOMETHING.

I DON'T KNOW, CLAUD. I MEAN, MAYBE WE

SHOULD JUST GIVE HER

A LITTLE SPACE AT FIRST, YOU KNOW?

SHE'S BEEN AWAY FOR 2 MONTHS,

AND SHE PROBABLY JUST WANTS TO BE

WITH GRIFFIN,

SO HURRY UP AND GET CHANGED,

ALL RIGHT?

WHEN DID YOU GET SO OLD?

OWEN...

THAT'S...

TAKE THAT OFF.

NO, I JUST... HOW COULD YOU DO

THAT, SARAH?

HOW COULD YOU LIE TO ME LIKE THAT

ALL SUMMER?

WELL, LET'S SEE: MY PARENTS SAID

THEY DIDN'T WANT ME SEEING YOU ANYMORE

BECAUSE YOU'RE IRRESPONSIBLE

AND DANGEROUS.

I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT A NICE WAY TO PUT THAT.

"DANGEROUS"?

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT, "DANGEROUS"?

SO YOU JUST LIE TO THEM, AND YOU LIE TO ME.

WAIT A MINUTE.

NO. WAIT A MINUTE, BAILEY,

WHO ARE YOU MAD AT HERE?

I ONLY DID IT SO I COULD SPEND

TIME WITH YOU.

I KNOW, I KNOW. I JUST--

WHAT THE HELL DO THEY WANT FROM ME?

LOOK, THEY'RE ON A TEAR ABOUT THE ACCIDENT,

AND THEY THINK YOU'RE THE REASON

I'M NOT GOING TO BROWN--

AND--AND WHAT ELSE ARE THEY GONNA BLAME

ON ME?

I MEAN, I'M IN AA. I'VE BEEN SOBER

FOR 5 MONTHS.

YEAH, I KNOW, I TRIED TO TELL THEM

THAT, BAILEY,

BUT MY DAD, YOU KNOW, HE'S A TYPICAL LAWYER.

YOU CAN'T TELL HIM HE'S WRONG ABOUT ANYTHING,

AND MOM...OY.

SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

HOW LONG AM I GONNA BE THIS PERSONA AU GRATIN?

NON GRATA.

WHATEVER.

DOES THIS MEAN THAT WE CAN'T HANG OUT?

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

NO. GOD, NO. OF COURSE NOT.

WHAT IS THEIR PROBLEM

ANYWAY?

YOU FORGAVE ME,

AND OF ALL PEOPLE, IF YOU CAN FORGIVE

ME, WHY CAN'T THEY?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IS THIS TOO STUPID?

IT'LL DO UNTIL THEY DELIVER THE TABLE.

NOW RELAX AND HELP ME.

YOU'RE MAKING ME NERVOUS.

WHAT IF SHE HATES

THIS PLACE?

IT'S RENTED.

WHAT IF SHE HATES ALL THIS STUFF?

IT'S RENTED.

THESE PICTURES. WHAT IF SHE HATES

THESE PICTURES?

THEY'RE RENTED! NOW, WHAT ARE YOU

SO WORRIED ABOUT?

2 MONTHS IS A LONG TIME, YOU KNOW.

WELL, WHAT IF SHE WANTS TO START SPEAKING FRENCH

TO ME OR SOMETHING?

YOU KNOW WHAT? SHE KEPT TALKING

ABOUT SEEING

SOME MAYONNAISE EXHIBIT.

WHAT IF SHE WANTS MY OPINION ON THAT?

MAYONNAISE?

YEAH. SOME FRENCH ARTIST GUY.

I THINK YOU MEAN MANET.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? I MEAN...

SHE LOVES YOU FOR YOU.

YEAH, BUT SHE'S BEEN AWAY

SEEING ALL THESE REALLY COOL PLACES

I CAN'T EVEN PRONOUNCE,

AND I'VE BEEN CHANGING LEAKY FUEL PUMPS

ALL SUMMER.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I LIKED THE WAY THINGS WERE BEFORE SHE LEFT,

YOU KNOW,

AND YOU KNOW THAT WITH US,

ABSENCE DEFINITELY MAKES THE HEART GROW WEIRDER.

DID YOU CALL THE AIRLINE?

YEAH, YEAH. HER FLIGHT'S ON TIME.

THEN STOP OBSESSING AND GET YOUR BUTT

IN GEAR.

RIGHT. YOU'RE RIGHT.

JULIA!

GRIFFIN!

HEY...

EXCUSE ME.

HEY! JULIA!

EXCUSE ME.

I'M--OH! SORRY.

THAT'S MY WIFE.

MY, UH...HUSBAND.

WOW. IT'S MY WIFE.

HEY! HEY!

OH, GOD, LOOK AT YOU. OH, YOUR HAIR...

YOU CUT YOUR HAIR.

YEAH. IN--IN PARIS. YOU HATE IT?

NO, NO, NO. IT'S--IT'S VERY...

PARIS-LIKE.

YEAH.

YOU'RE BY YOURSELF?

YEAH, IT'S JUST ME.

IT'S PART OF MY...

HUSBANDLY DUTIES, I GUESS.

AH, IT'S REALLY YOU.

IT'S REALLY ME.

YEAH...

HEY, OWE.

TURN OFF RUGRATS AND COME EAT.

Owen: IN A MINUTE.

NO. NOT IN A MINUTE.

NOW.

I PUT MR. HONEY BEAR ON YOUR SANDWICH.

YOU LOVE MR. HONEY BEAR.

I'M GOING TO COUNT TO 3.

1...

2...

2 AND 1/2...

Owen: OK, OK.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA...

OWEN...

WHY ARE YOU WEARING THAT?

BECAUSE I'M PLAYING DRESS-UP.

OK...

BUT...

WOULDN'T YOU RATHER BE...

A COWBOY

OR A FOOTBALL PLAYER

OR...YOU KNOW,

A MARINE?

WHY?

WELL...

BECAUSE YOU'RE A BOY,

AND THOSE ARE GIRL CLOTHES.

HA HA.

COME ON, LET'S GO GET YOU CHANGED.

WHY?

WELL, BECAUSE YOU JUST DON'T DO THAT.

OK?

NOW, COME ON. I GOT AN IDEA.

LET'S GO GET YOUR SUPERMAN CAPE,

AND WE'LL GET YOU CHANGED.

NO, NO, NO!

I LIKE IT!

OH, MAN.

(GIGGLES)

OK. NOW.

WOW.

YOU--YOU LIVE HERE?

NO.

WE LIVE HERE.

HUH?

WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE BEDROOM.

SO WAIT A SECOND, YOU--YOU BOUGHT

ALL THIS STUFF?

UH, IT'S RENTED, ACTUALLY.

OH.

IT'S THE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE COLLECTION.

I GOT IT 'CAUSE OF ALL THAT ART STUFF

YOU WROTE ABOUT IN YOUR POSTCARDS.

IF YOU HATE IT, WE CAN--

NO! NO. IT'S JUST, UM...

OH, YOU ARE SO ADORABLE, YOU KNOW THAT?

(WHISPERING) I feel like I've been gone forever.

YEAH.

WELCOME HOME.

SURPRISE!

HEY! CLAUD!

HOW'RE YOU DOING?

LOOK AT YOU! LOOKS FAMILIAR!

YOUR HAIR LOOKS GREAT! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT.

YOU'RE STILL HERE?

I TOLD YOU-- OH, I LET GRIFFIN

PICK YOU UP ALONE

SO YOU GUYS COULD, UH, GET SOME TIME

TOGETHER,

BUT NOW I'M DYING TO HEAR

ALL ABOUT YOUR TRIP!

OH, WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE.

I ALMOST FORGOT.

TA-DA!

HUH...

IT'S A HOUSEWARMING GIFT

FOR THE WORLD TRAVELER:

YOUR VERY OWN GELATO MAKER.

AND YOU KNOW, I FIGURED I COULD

WHIP SOME UP

WHILE YOU TELL ME ALL ABOUT YOUR TRIP.

DO YOU HAVE PICTURES?

YEAH, CLAUD, BUT, UH...

WHERE DID I PUT THOSE STRAWBERRIES?

YOU KNOW WHAT, CLAUD?

I'M KIND OF...JET LAGGED,

AND I--I HAVE A... HEADACHE.

OH, I CAN GET SOME ASPIRIN

TO...

OH. OH, YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT?

ME, TOO. UM, HEADACHE,

I MEAN.

YEAH?

MAJOR, MAJOR HEADACHE.

YEAH. IT'S PRACTICALLY

A MIGRAINE.

OK, I'LL JUST, UH...

RAIN CHECK.

OK.

MR. THORSEN, I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU FOR COMING BY.

THANKS. BYE-BYE.

OK. BYE-BYE.

UM, EXCUSE ME, MR. REEVES.

HI. UM, I'M SORRY FOR JUST SHOWING UP

LIKE THIS,

BUT...WE REALLY HAVE TO TALK.

THERE IS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT, BAILEY.

NOW, PLEASE, WILL YOU--

YES, THERE IS! GOD, WILL YOU PLEASE--

MAYBE IF YOU WOULD JUST LISTEN TO ME

INSTEAD OF...

WILL YOU PLEASE JUST HEAR ME OUT?

I'M SORRY. GIVE ME A COUPLE OF MINUTES,

WILL YOU? THANKS.

COME ON.

I'M LISTENING.

GOOD, BECAUSE...

I KNOW WHAT YOU AND MRS. REEVES

THINK ABOUT ME,

BUT THE TRUTH IS...

THE TRUTH IS, THAT'S NOT REALLY FAIR,

BECAUSE I'VE CHANGED,

SIR.

I'M A DIFFERENT PERSON NOW THAN...

THAN WHEN I WAS DRINKING.

AND MAYBE I NEVER APOLOGIZED TO YOU

FOR WHAT HAPPENED,

SO I WANT TO DO THAT NOW.

I WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL,

AND THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR THAT,

BUT I'M TRYING TO PUT THAT

BEHIND ME NOW,

AND I'M SORRY.

I AM SORRY.

I DID...

I DID SOME STUPID THINGS,

SOME REALLY STUPID THINGS--

CRIMINAL THINGS, BAILEY. YOU KNOW THAT?

AND DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT JUST BY

SAYING YOU'RE SORRY,

IT MAKES IT OK THAT YOU NEARLY

KILLED MY DAUGHTER?

LOOK, I DON'T THINK YOU KNOW HOW MUCH...

I LIVE WITH THAT EVERY SINGLE DAY,

SIR.

EVERY TIME I SEE HER, I REMEMBER.

BUT IN SOME WEIRD WAY,

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT GIVES ME

THE STRENGTH.

I HAVEN'T HAD A DRINK IN 5 MONTHS.

I AM IN AA,

AND THAT'S WORKING,

BUT SARAH IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME.

SHE IS...

SHE HAS HELPED ME TO STAY SOBER

BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO HELP ME. ONLY

NOW, SHE TELLS ME

THAT YOU'VE FORBIDDEN HER

TO SEE ME,

AND THAT'S...

MR. REEVES, I JUST...

I REALLY NEED FOR YOU TO GIVE ME

ANOTHER CHANCE HERE.

LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING, BAILEY.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU GO TO MEETINGS?

I GO TO MEETINGS 3 TIMES A WEEK.

SOMETIMES 4.

AND THE WEEKS WHEN YOU GO 4 TIMES...

THOSE ARE HARD WEEKS, RIGHT?

YEAH. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THAT.

WEEKS WHEN YOU REALLY WANT TO DRINK.

YEAH. YEAH. THAT'S WHY I GO TO AA.

SO IN OTHER WORDS, YOU GO TO THESE MEETINGS

3, 4 TIMES A WEEK

BECAUSE YOU REALLY WANT TO DRINK,

AND THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN CONTROL THE URGE,

IS THAT RIGHT?

YEAH...YEAH, I SUPPOSE SO.

ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU BREAK?

YOU WANT TO TELL ME THAT?

WHAT IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT?

YOUR LIFE!

CAN YOU SWEAR TO ME YOU WILL NEVER, EVER

HAVE ANOTHER DRINK?

IT'S SCARY, ISN'T IT,

THE THOUGHT OF A LIFE WITHOUT ALCOHOL?

NO. NO, THAT'S-- THAT'S--NO!

WHY ARE YOU CROSS-EXAMINING ME

LIKE THIS?

WHY CAN'T YOU JUST--

OH, BAILEY, COME ON!

HOW THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT ME

TO TRUST YOU

WHEN YOU CLEARLY DON'T EVEN TRUST YOURSELF?

AND I AM NOT GOING TO RISK SARAH BEING THERE

WHEN YOU MAKE ANOTHER MISTAKE.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW

TO GET PAST THIS.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!

THAT'S...

THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT I WON'T DO, SIR.

I'M SORRY, BUT I WON'T.

GRIFFIN.

HMM?

GRIFFIN, YOU AWAKE?

NO.

THE BED KEEPS MAKING THESE WEIRD NOISES.

IT'S PLASTIC. IT'S RENTED.

OH.

I'M SORRY. I GUESS I'M JUST A LITTLE WIRED.

IT'S LIKE BREAKFAST TIME IN PARIS.

MMM. FRENCH TOAST.

SO WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO TOMORROW?

I MEAN, IT'S KIND OF OUR FIRST DAY TOGETHER

AGAIN, YOU KNOW?

I SORT OF GOTTA WORK.

OF COURSE.

WELL, I GUESS MAYBE I'LL JUST GET SETTLED IN...

OR...SOMETHING.

HEY, DID YOU UNPACK ANY OF MY BOXES?

NO, NO. I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU'D WANT TO.

IT'S KIND OF WEIRD MY FAMILY DIDN'T CALL OR COME BY,

EXCEPT CLAUD, OF COURSE.

WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST GO OVER THERE

IN THE MORNING.

YEAH, MAYBE.

GET SOME SLEEP, OK?

THAT IS NOT TRUE.

SARAH, I WAS TRYING TO REASON WITH HIM.

WELL, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT, BAILEY,

'CAUSE WHATEVER YOU SAID,

I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM LIKE THIS.

I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM THIS ANGRY.

YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M ANGRY, TOO.

I WENT TO SEE HIM TO-- TO--I DON'T KNOW--

TO EXPLAIN TO THE GUY WHY HE'S BEING

SO UNFAIR TO ME

AND TO US,

AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW,

HE'S TREATING ME LIKE I'M SOME SORT

OF CRIMINAL,

SO WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, BAILEY,

'CAUSE NOW HE'S SAYING HE'S NOT GONNA PAY

FOR MY HOUSING AT BERKELEY,

AND I'M GONNA LIVE AT HOME WHERE HE CAN KEEP

AN EYE ON ME.

GOD, HE DID THAT? HE ACTUALLY...

(SIGHS)

LOOK, I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY.

I WAS ONLY TRYING TO HELP.

YEAH, WELL, NICE TRY.

OH, SORRY.

HEY, I'M-- I'M CLAUDIA.

THIS IS FOR CHEERLEADING

TRYOUTS.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

DUH.

OH.

BUT AREN'T YOU, LIKE, KIND OF,

YOU KNOW, TOO SHORT?

IT'S CHEERLEADING, NOT A ROLLER COASTER.

I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN...

HOW TALL ARE YOU?

5'1".

AND AN 1/8.

WHICH IF YOU HAPPEN TO THINK ABOUT IT,

IT'S GOOD FOR THE TOP OF THOSE PYRAMID THINGS

OR ONE OF THOSE CHEERS WHERE THEY PICK

SOMEBODY UP

AND JUST THROW THEM. I MEAN...I COULD DO THAT.

LIKE, WHATEVER.

JENNY!

HEY, OWEN! OH, MY-- OH, MY GOODNESS!

YOU'RE GETTING STRONGER EVERY DAY,

AREN'T YOU?

HEY, CHARLIE. HOW ARE YOU?

I'M GOOD. I'M GOOD.

OWEN, GO ON AND PLAY, OK?

I WANT TO TALK TO JENNY FOR A MINUTE.

THAT'S OK, HONEY. I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

AND GUESS WHAT. WE'RE GONNA DO

STORY CIRCLE TODAY, OK?

BYE. WHAT'S UP?

I WANTED TO ASK YOU SOMETHING, UH...

ABOUT OWEN.

UH-HUH.

HE'S, UH...

HE STARTED DOING SOMETHING THAT'S,

WELL...

IT'S KIND OF FREAKY, AND...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS OR WHAT I SHOULD DO,

SO I THOUGHT I'D ASK YOU.

WHAT'S HE DOING?

HE'S KIND OF INTO PLAYING DRESS-UP.

DRESS-UP IN, YOU KNOW, LIKE, ACTUAL DRESSES.

HA HA HA.

I'M SORRY, CHARLIE.

I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE ANYTHING

TO WORRY ABOUT.

LOTS OF LITTLE BOYS GO THROUGH THESE PHASES

WHERE THEY LIKE TO EXPERIMENT

WITH, IT'S CALLED TRANSGENDER BEHAVIOR,

AND IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL.

HUH. REALLY? SO YOU THINK IT'S JUST

SOME KIND OF PHASE?

YEAH, YEAH, MOST LIKELY.

HOW LIKELY?

VERY LIKELY. JUST DON'T FORCE

THE ISSUE, YOU KNOW?

LEAVE IT ALONE. IT'LL PASS.

GOOD. THAT'S GOOD.

BUT WHAT IF IT DOESN'T... I MEAN...PASS.

HE'S GONNA BE FINE. JUST RELAX.

RELAX. RIGHT.

YEAH.

THANKS. UH, I'M JUST GONNA SAY GOOD-BYE TO HIM.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME TEA?

YES, PLEASE.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

UH...HANG ON.

HEY. HA HA.

MRS. HOLBROOK?

OH. NO. SHE DOESN'T LIVE HERE.

HER SON DOES.

235 POTRERO? MR. AND MRS.

GRIFFIN HOLBROOK?

OH. I WASN'T...UH...

THAT'S ME.

WOW. I DIDN'T, UM...

MY HUSBAND MUST'VE...

LADY, PLEASE. THIS THING WEIGHS A TON.

RIGHT. SORRY. THROUGH THERE. HA.

YOU JUST KIND OF CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN MARRIED THAT LONG.

WELL, ACTUALLY, WE HAVE,

BUT THE WAY YOU SAID THAT MRS. HOLBROOK THING,

IT JUST SOUNDED SO WEIRD.

WELL, I'M SURE YOU'LL GET USED

TO IT.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. SIGN, PLEASE.

DO I HAVE TO SIGN MRS. HOLBROOK?

LADY, YOU CAN SIGN HILLARY CLINTON

FOR ALL I CARE.

I JUST NEED A RECORD THAT YOU

RECEIVED IT.

HAVE A NICE DAY.

YOU, TOO.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

OK, HERE WE GO.

FIRST BASEBALL GLOVE. HOW ABOUT THAT?

I WANT TO WATCH THE SOUND OF MUSIC.

CLAUD, WILL YOU GET THAT, PLEASE?

THE MACHINE WILL PICK IT UP.

NOW, OWEN, IT'S TIME FOR YOU

TO GET SOME GRASS STAINS ON THOSE OVERALLS,

ALL RIGHT?

NOW, JUST PUT YOUR HAND IN HERE JUST LIKE THIS.

THERE YOU GO. YOU'LL GROW INTO THAT.

NOW, THIS IS A BASEBALL. WE'RE GONNA PLAY CATCH.

PORK CHOP! PORK CHOP! GREASY, GREASY!

WE CAN BEAT YOUR TEAM EASY, EASY!

GO, POSSUMS!

GO, POSSUMS.

CLAUD, DO YOU MIND?

GOTTA PRACTICE. I TRIED OUT

FOR CHEERLEADING TODAY.

YOU ACTUALLY TRIED OUT?

WHAT'S WITH THE TONE? I TOLD YOU I WAS GOING TO.

YEAH, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ORCHESTRA?

ORCHESTRA DOESN'T MAKE YOU POPULAR.

TRUST ME!

OK, BUT, AREN'T YOU, LIKE,

A LITTLE TOO SMALL TO BE A CHEERLEADER?

FOR YOUR 411, THEY ASKED ME BACK TOMORROW,

SO...BITE ME.

OWEN, OWEN, HE'S OUR MAN!

IF HE CAN'T WHUP 'EM, NO ONE CAN!

GO, OWEN!

GO, OWEN!

CUT IT OUT, CLAUD. WE'RE PLAYING SPORTS HERE,

ALL RIGHT?

HEY, OWEN, OWEN,

COME ON. YOU READY?

PLAY BALL!

RA RA REE!

KICK 'EM IN THE KNEE!

RA RA RASS!

KICK THEM IN THE OTHER KNEE!

CLAUDIA, WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP THAT?

PLEASE.

OWEN, PUT THE GLOVE ON. OWEN, COME HERE.

HEY!

HEY!

YOU GUYS TOTALLY SNAPPED?

OWEN, JUST PUT THE GLOVE--

NO! NO! NO!

NICE PARENTING SKILLS, CHUCK.

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT KID IS WEARING DRESSES.

WE'VE GOT SPIRIT!

Bailey: DRESSES? WHAT KIND OF DRESSES?

HOW ABOUT YOU?!

EXCUSE US, FOLKS.

IS SOMETHING WRONG?

ARE YOU BAILEY SALINGER?

NO, I AM.

WHY? WHAT'S GOING ON?

WE HAVE A WARRANT FOR YOUR ARREST.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. WHAT'S GOING ON?

JUST DO WHAT I SAY. PUT YOUR HANDS

BEHIND YOUR HEAD, SIR.

WELL, WHAT IS THIS ABOUT, OFFICER?

WHAT ARE YOU CHARGING HIM WITH?

STEP AWAY, SIR.

BAILEY SALINGER,

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST FOR A FELONY D.U.I.

WHAT? YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

IF YOU GIVE UP THAT RIGHT,

EVERYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL

BE USED AGAINST YOU IN A COURT OF LAW.

CHARLIE! YOU HAVE THE RIGHT

TO AN ATTORNEY

AND TO HAVE ONE PRESENT

DURING QUESTIONING.

IF YOU SO DESIRE AND CANNOT

AFFORD ONE,

AN ATTORNEY WILL BE APPOINTED FOR YOU

WITHOUT CHARGE BEFORE QUESTIONING

BEGINS.

$10,000 BAIL?

FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED

6 MONTHS AGO.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

I TOLD YOU, BAILEY,

THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

ON FELONY D.U.I. IS A YEAR.

YEAH, BUT THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

I MEAN, WHY NOW JUST OUT OF THE BLUE

LIKE THIS?

I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW.

COULD BE A BACKLOG IN VEHICULAR CRIMES.

PROBABLY TOOK THEM THIS LONG TO GET A MATCH

ON THE LICENSE PLATE.

LICENSE PLATE? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

APPARENTLY, THERE WAS A WITNESS WHO ONLY GOT

PART OF THE NUMBER.

NO. NO, THERE WAS NO WITNESSES.

ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT,

THERE WAS.

WELL, SO THAT'S IT?

SOME GUY SAW THE ACCIDENT,

AND 6 MONTHS LATER, THEY COME AFTER ME.

THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING MORE THAN THAT.

THE D.A.'s OFFICE WOULDN'T ISSUE A WARRANT

UNLESS THEY FELT THEY HAD A GOOD CASE.

YEAH, BUT WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?

IT MEANS I NEED TO MAKE SOME

PHONE CALLS TOMORROW

AND FIND OUT JUST HOW GOOD A CASE.

BUT HOW BAD IS IT, AND WHAT'S GONNA

HAPPEN TO ME?

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

LIKE I LOSE MY LICENSE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS

OR DO COMMUNITY SERVICE? WHAT?

WHAT?

WAIT A MINUTE. YOU'RE NOT--

THERE'S NO WAY THEY CAN SEND HIM TO JAIL.

JUST LET ME MAKE SOME CALLS,

SEE IF I CAN FIND OUT

WHAT'S GOING ON.

HELLO!

ANYBODY HOME?

CHARLIE?

BAILEY?

CLAUDIA?

OWEN?

THURBER?

(SIGHS)

SO MUCH FOR MY SURPRISE PARTY.

Julia: HEY.

JULIA.

HI. GOD, YOU'RE BACK.

YEAH, I'M BACK. WHERE HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN?

DIDN'T YOU GET MY MESSAGE?

I AM SO SORRY. I TOTALLY, TOTALLY FORGOT.

FORGOT?

NO. NO, THAT'S NOT...

THAT DIDN'T COME OUT RIGHT.

THINGS HAVE BEEN CRAZY AROUND HERE.

YEAH, WELL, I'VE BEEN GONE 2 WHOLE MONTHS,

AND I GET BACK, AND YOU GUYS CAN'T EVEN CALL OR COME BY.

LOOK, I'M SORRY.

THERE'S SOME STUFF GOING ON HERE.

WHAT KIND OF STUFF?

WAIT A SECOND. WHERE ARE OWEN AND CLAUDIA?

ARE THEY OK?

THEY'RE FINE. THEY'RE OVER AT ROSS'.

WELL, THEN WHAT?

GOD, I MEAN, WHAT COULD BE SO AWFUL

THAT YOU GUYS CAN'T EVEN PICK UP THE PHONE

AND SAY, "WELCOME HOME"?

WELL?

(GIRLS YELLING CHEERS)

OK, 4:00 WEDNESDAY, ROOM 203, OK? GREAT.

HEY, YOU'RE CLAUDIA, RIGHT?

THAT'S ME.

I'M JOETTE TINKLEPAUGH, VICE CAPTAIN OF

THE CHEERLEADING SQUAD.

OH, HI.

IT'S REALLY NICE TO MEET YOU,

BUT IS THERE ANY WAY THAT I COULD DO

MY CALLBACK TOMORROW?

I'VE JUST GOT SOME... STUFF GOING ON AT HOME,

AND IT'D REALLY BE HELPFUL--

CALLBACK? YOU DON'T NEED A CALLBACK.

YOU ALREADY, LIKE, TOTALLY MADE THE SQUAD!

I DID?

YOU DID.

BUT, I MEAN, IF YOU NEED TO GO HOME--

NO, NO. HANG ON. YOU MEAN I MADE THE SQUAD,

LIKE, THE CHEERLEADING SQUAD?

I MEAN...REALLY?

REALLY.

THIS COULDN'T HAVE COME AT A BETTER TIME

FOR ME.

I MEAN, YOU HAVE, LIKE, NO IDEA.

WELL, THERE'S MORE,

'CAUSE YOU GOT, LIKE, THE BEST SLOT.

I DID? I DID?

WHAT DID I GET?

YOU'VE GOT...THE MASCOT!

I'M THE POSSUM?

YOU'RE THE PERFECT SIZE TO FIT THE COSTUME, SO...

WELL, AREN'T YOU JUST TOTALLY STOKED?

TOTALLY.

I MIGHT HAVE TO LEAVE HIM A COUPLE OF EXTRA HOURS

IN THE AFTERNOON.

THAT'S FINE, CHARLIE.

THANKS. IT'S JUST...

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS HELPS ME OUT.

I'VE GOT THESE MEETINGS WITH OUR LAWYER,

I'VE GOT THIS HEARING TOMORROW.

WELL, WHATEVER I CAN DO.

OH, AND LISTEN, CHARLIE, BEFORE YOU GO,

COULD WE TALK ABOUT OWEN

FOR A MINUTE?

IS SOMETHING WRONG? OTHER THAN THE OBVIOUS,

I MEAN.

NO, NO. IT'S JUST I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT

HIS LITTLE PROBLEM,

AND I WANTED TO ASK, IS HE CLOSE

WITH JULIA AND CLAUDIA?

WELL, THEY HAVEN'T EXACTLY BEEN AROUND

LATELY,

BUT WHEN THEY SEE EACH OTHER,

YEAH, THEY ARE CLOSE. WHY?

WELL, I OVERHEARD HIM CALLING SOME OF THE OTHER

KIDS BUNNIES TODAY,

AND THAT'S WHAT I CALL THEM SOMETIMES.

I'M NOT FOLLOWING.

HE'S AWFULLY ATTACHED TO ME, CHARLIE,

AND I THINK MAYBE HE'S PUTTING ON WOMEN'S CLOTHES

BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BE LIKE ME.

BUT WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE,

BUT RIGHT NOW, I'M THE ONLY WOMAN

IN OWEN'S LIFE.

AND I THINK MAYBE HE'S TRYING TO MAKE UP FOR

SOMETHING MISSING AT HOME,

SOMETHING HE KIND OF NEEDS.

THE CAB DRIVER.

THE CAB DRIVER, THE ONE THAT I ALMOST HIT?

WELL, HOW COULD HE PROVE THAT I WAS DRUNK?

WELL, HE ISN'T. HE'S JUST GOING TO TESTIFY

TO WHAT HE SAW, THAT'S ALL.

AND WHAT ABOUT THIS NURSE, THE ONE WHO ADMITTED SARAH

TO THE HOSPITAL?

ALL SHE CAN DO IS SAY THAT BAILEY SMELLED OF ALCOHOL

AND WAS SLURRING HIS WORDS.

AND SARAH. WHAT ABOUT SARAH?

WILL THEY MAKE HER TESTIFY?

IF THE D.A. CALLS HER, YES, BUT--

OH, MAN. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. JUST LET ME FINISH

HERE, PLEASE.

JUST CALM DOWN.

I THINK WE CAN PREVENT THIS FROM

EVER GOING TO TRIAL.

YOU DO?

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS ARGUE TO THE D.A.

THAT YOU'RE A FIRST-TIME

OFFENDER

AND YOU'RE IN AA,

AND THEY'LL PROBABLY DROP THE WHOLE THING

OR PLEAD IT DOWN TO A MISDEMEANOR.

BUT I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS GONNA BE

AN AUTOMATIC FELONY

BECAUSE HE WAS ONLY 19 WHEN IT HAPPENED.

WELL, LOOK...

THEY'RE PROCEEDING OUT OF A LEGAL OBLIGATION

AT THIS POINT.

THEY DON'T REALLY WANT TO PURSUE THIS

ANY MORE THAN WE WANT THEM TO.

SO YOU REALLY THINK THAT'LL HAPPEN?

NOW THAT I HAVE ALL THE FACTS,

YES, I DO.

MY FIRSTBORN, MAN, I SWEAR.

WEAR A TIE TOMORROW, ALL RIGHT?

OK.

THANKS, EMMET.

NIGHT, ALL.

THAT'S GOOD NEWS, HUH?

YEAH, IF IT'S TRUE.

JUST WAKE ME WHEN IT'S ALL OVER, ALL RIGHT?

I HOPE EMMET'S RIGHT.

NO KIDDING.

SO YOU PAINTED IN HERE.

OH, YEAH.

IT WAS STARTING TO PEEL.

BAY HELPED ME OUT.

LOOKS GOOD.

YOU KNOW, CHARLIE, I CUT MY HAIR,

AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING.

OH, YEAH.

IT LOOKS NICE.

YOU WANT SOME HELP WITH THE DISHES?

IT'S 4 COFFEE CUPS. I CAN MANAGE.

AND GRIFFIN'S PROBABLY WAITING FOR YOU, SO...

YEAH, I KNOW, I KNOW.

IT'S JUST THAT ALL THIS STUFF

WITH BAILEY,

I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE DOING

SOMETHING, YOU KNOW?

WHAT?

HE'S GONE TO BED, AND THERE'S NOTHING

GOING ON,

SO...IT'S OK.

YOU KNOW, CHARLIE, JUST BECAUSE

I'M MARRIED,

IT DOESN'T MEAN I'M NOT A PART OF

THIS FAMILY ANYMORE.

I'M JUST TRYING TO BE REASONABLE HERE.

YOU'VE BEEN AWAY FOR 2 MONTHS--

YEAH--2 MONTHS,

AND YOU GUYS DIDN'T EVEN COME MEET ME

AT THE AIRPORT.

WHAT?

WE DIDN'T WANT TO HORN IN

ON YOU AND GRIFFIN.

LOOK...

JUL, THERE'S NOTHING TO DO HERE,

ALL RIGHT,

SO YOU SHOULD JUST GO HOME.

HEY...

IT'S LATE.

YEAH, I KNOW. I CAME AS SOON

AS I FOUND OUT.

I WOULD HAVE CALLED YOU,

BUT I NEVER KNOW WHO'S GONNA ANSWER THE PHONE

AT YOUR PLACE, SO...

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT

I'M SORRY.

I MEAN, THIS IS BEYOND CRUEL AND

UNFAIR AND HORRIBLE,

AND I NEVER THOUGHT--

YOU KNOW WHAT? EMMET DOESN'T THINK

IT'S SO BAD.

HE SAYS THAT WE CAN PROBABLY PLEAD IT DOWN

OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,

SO MAYBE IT'S GONNA BE OK.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT, BAILEY.

REALLY. HE--HE THINKS THAT THEY'RE JUST DOING IT

BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I OVERHEARD MY FATHER TALKING

TO A FRIEND OF HIS

AT THE D.A.'s OFFICE.

THAT'S WHY THEY PULLED

THE POLICE REPORT.

THIS DIDN'T JUST HAPPEN, BAILEY.

WHAT?

MY FATHER DID THIS.

HE'S THE ONE PUSHING THIS THING.

IT'S ALL HIS FAULT.

WAIT A MINUTE.

HE--HE DID THIS? HE STARTED THIS

WHOLE THING?

OH, MY GOD. WH-WHY WOULD HE...

DOES HE HATE ME SO MUCH--

BAILEY--

WHAT THE HELL DOES HE WANT FROM ME, SARAH?

DOES HE ACTUALLY WANT ME TO GO TO JAIL?

YOU--YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING.

YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING. YOU GOTTA TALK TO HIM

AND MAKE HIM STOP THIS.

I TRIED. I TRIED, BAILEY,

BUT HE WON'T. IT'S LIKE

HE'S OBSESSED--

NO, ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING

TO ME, SARAH?

I COULD GO TO JAIL!

I KNOW.

WELL, THEN, DO SOMETHING!

TELL HIM-- TELL HIM HE WINS.

YOU TELL THAT CRAZY SON OF A BITCH

THAT I'LL GO AWAY.

YOU TELL HIM WE'LL STOP SEEING EACH OTHER.

I ALREADY DID.

I TOLD HIM I WOULD DO

WHATEVER IT TAKES

AS LONG AS HE LEAVES YOU ALONE,

BUT HE DIDN'T BELIEVE ME.

IT'S TOO LATE, BAILEY.

IT'S TOO LATE.

AND NOW THAT IT'S STARTED,

THERE'S NOTHING ANYBODY CAN DO.

HEY, YOU.

I DIDN'T HEAR YOU COME HOME.

OH.

I DIDN'T WANT TO WAKE YOU.

ALWAYS WAKE ME.

I WANT YOU TO.

OK. THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.

I GUESS WE'RE JUST KIND OF

FIGURING THIS OUT

AS WE GO ALONG, HUH?

FIGURING WHAT OUT?

BEING MARRIED.

DO I WAKE YOU UP? DO YOU WAKE ME UP?

BUT I GUESS THAT'S WHAT MARRIAGE IS...

JUST FIGURING THINGS OUT AS YOU GO ALONG.

WHAT ELSE ARE YOU FIGURING OUT?

EVERYTHING.

I DON'T KNOW, GRIFFIN.

IT'S JUST, WHERE DO I PUT MY STUFF?

AND DO I LIKE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE

FURNITURE?

AND DO I WANT TO BE MRS. GRIFFIN HOLBROOK?

OH...GOD.

NO, NO, NO. I JUST MEANT, UM,

DO I WANT TO CHANGE MY NAME?

BUT IT'S NOT JUST THAT.

IT'S LIKE EVERYTHING IS SO WEIRD.

MY FAMILY DOESN'T NEED ME ANYMORE,

AND I HAVE THIS HUSBAND

AND THIS STRANGE APARTMENT,

AND I FEEL LIKE I'M PLAYING HOUSE.

MAYBE...

MAYBE I NEED TO EASE INTO THIS

A LITTLE MORE...

SO I CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE I BELONG.

AND MAYBE WE CAN DO SOME OF THIS

STUFF TOGETHER.

I MEAN, MAYBE WE CAN...

MAKE A HOME TOGETHER.

HEY, WHY DO YOU THINK I RENTED EVERYTHING?

HUH?

WE CAN EVEN MOVE IF YOU WANT.

I DON'T CARE.

I DON'T KNOW. VIEW'S KIND OF NICE

FROM UP HERE.

NO. ALL I'M ASKING IS,

WHAT GOOD'S IT GOING TO DO

TO PROSECUTE HIM?

I MEAN, IT'S A WASTE OF EVERYBODY'S TIME,

AND OBVIOUSLY YOU PICK AND CHOOSE

WHAT CASES--

NO. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE

GOES AFTER CASES WHICH HAVE SOLID

EVIDENCE,

WHICH THIS ONE HAS.

NOW, PLEASE, MR. SALINGER,

YOU'RE NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.

I MEAN, I'M, REALLY SURPRISED THAT YOUR

LAWYER ADVISED THIS.

HE DOESN'T KNOW I'M--

LOOK, I WANTED YOU TO HEAR IT FROM ME, OK?

MY BROTHER IS 20 YEARS OLD,

AND, YES, HE MADE A MISTAKE,

BUT HE'S PULLED HIMSELF TOGETHER

SINCE--SINCE THE ACCIDENT.

AND IF SOMEBODY CAN JUST CALL UP HERE

AND PULL SOME STRINGS

BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GET MY BROTHER--

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.

THIS CASE LANDED ON MY DESK.

IT'S A GOOD CASE. THAT'S IT.

YOU'RE GOING TO RUIN HIS WHOLE LIFE...

AND MAYBE YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE

SOME KIND OF EXAMPLE OUT OF HIM,

BUT HE'S-- HE'S SOBER NOW.

HE'S IN AA.

THERE'S NO WAY HE DESERVES THIS.

NO WAY.

I SEE. I SEE. I SEE. SO YOU THINK

THAT WE SHOULD JUST IGNORE THE LAWS OF

THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

BECAUSE BASICALLY YOUR BROTHER'S

JUST A GOOD GUY?

LOOK, ALL I'M SAYING--

THAT'S NOT HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS.

NOW, I PROSECUTE CRIMINALS.

THAT'S MY JOB. THAT'S WHAT I'M

TRYING TO DO.

YOU WANT TO ARGUE CHARACTER,

ARGUE IT WITH THE JUDGE, ALL RIGHT?

NOW, PLEASE, MR. SALINGER,

JUST GO.

SO THAT'S IT?

WHAT YOUR BROTHER DID, MR. SALINGER,

IS A VERY SERIOUS CRIME.

NOW, APPARENTLY YOU DON'T SEEM TO REALIZE

THAT DRUNK DRIVING CAN HAVE VERY REAL

CONSEQUENCES.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

WHAT THE HELL DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

OH, SORRY.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING TO ME.

I WAS.

WHAT IS THAT?

OH, THIS.

YOU KNOW, THE SCHOOL MASCOT.

YOU KNOW, THE MIGHTY,

FIGHTING POSSUM.

YOU'RE THE POSSUM?

OH, YEAH, BUT NOT--

COOL.

EXCUSE ME?

SOMEBODY'S GOT TO DO IT.

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU WANT TO SWITCH

LOCKERS WITH ME?

IT'LL BE EASIER FOR YOU TO REACH,

AND I HATE SQUATTING LIKE THIS ANYWAY.

SO...

THAT'D BE...GREAT. THANKS.

IT KIND OF SMELLS.

TRY STICKING YOUR HEAD UP IN THERE

SOMETIME.

HA HA.

HERE. HERE'S MY COMBINATION.

OH, UH...

WHAT'S YOURS?

UM, LET ME, UH...

PAPER...

RIGHT HERE.

YOU WANT ME TO...

YEAH. THAT WAY I WON'T LOSE IT,

YOU KNOW?

COOL.

SEE YA.

YEAH.

I HOPE SO.

ANYWAY, IT'S PRETTY CRAZY RIGHT NOW.

A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON,

GROWN-UP STUFF THAT WE GOT TO DO FOR BAILEY.

BUT ROSS SAID THAT HE GOT 101 DALMATIANS

FOR YOU AND TESS TO WATCH TONIGHT,

SO...IT'LL BE FUN.

HOW'S THAT SOUND?

OK.

LOOK, OWE...

I KIND OF NEED TO HAVE A TALK

WITH YOU,

YOU KNOW, MAN-TO-MAN.

I'M A LITTLE SLOW ON THE UPTAKE SOMETIMES,

BUT I THINK I FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT IT IS

YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL ME

ABOUT WHAT YOU NEED.

AND THE THING IS, IN A WAY

I KIND OF NEED THE SAME THING

THAT YOU DO.

I MEAN, YOU NEED SOMEBODY,

AND--AND I NEED SOMEBODY.

AND I KNOW MY TRACK RECORD

ISN'T THE GREATEST WHERE THAT'S

CONCERNED,

BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW

THAT I'M GONNA FIND HER...

FOR BOTH OF US.

I PROMISE.

AS FAST AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.

YOU LOOK NICE.

LAST TIME I WORE THIS WAS TO A FUNERAL.

YOU GOT A LETTER.

IT'S FROM STATE.

GREAT.

JUST WHAT I NEED-- MORE GOOD NEWS.

WHAT?

WHAT IS IT?

WOW.

I WON THE LOTTERY.

THE LOTTERY?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

NO. NOT-- NOT THAT LOTTERY.

THIS TV CLASS THAT I REALLY NEEDED...

THIS MEANS I'LL HAVE A SHOT AT GETTING SOME DECENT

GRADES THIS SEMESTER,

SO BY SPRING--

WHO AM I KIDDING?

YOU CAN'T GIVE UP, BAILEY.

WE'RE, UM, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO MEET EMMET

A FEW MINUTES BEFORE, SO...

YOU READY?

CLAUD, COME ON.

I'M SORRY.

NOT YOUR FAULT.

BAILEY?

(GAVEL POUNDS)

Court clerk: CASE NUMBER 48476,

PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA VS.

BAILEY SALINGER.
