"Is this a trial separation with the hopes of reconciliation?" "I-I don't-- no, not right now." "Okay." "I don't get you, drew." "Your ex-girlfriend comes and basically lives with you" "I said I wanted a relationship." "You said you wanted to be friends, which is what I'm trying to do." "I got to go." "I have class." "We could, uh, you know, do the job together." " Just like we used to." " Except that I'm the boss." "[Chuckles] Yeah." "This is between me and your father." "You're the one that's trying to sell this house out from under the e." "Very selfish!" "We have an attachment to this place." "I'm not going to let you procrastinate any longer." "It's happening Sunday." "Mom, I know you want to get this done, but it's very bad timing for us." "It's very, very bad timing just across the board." " Yeah." " It's not like I'm asking to get the baby a haircut." "This is aida's soul that we're talking about." "Renee, we know how important it is to you, and we're gonna do it." "We will do it." "Yeah." " Important to me?" " Yeah!" "Jasmine, you're doing this for me?" " No." "No!" " Because I recall your saying that Jabbar's baptism was one of the most beautiful moments of your life." "And it was, mom, but this is different, mom." "I'm in a marriage now and living with my in-laws." "We're not in our own space." "We can't host a brunch or do anything." "It's just not the right time." "Camille is a wonderful host." "She would love to put out some muffins for her grandbaby's salvation." "No, mom, they're selling the house." " The house is for sale." " Oh." "Your parents are selling their house?" " Yeah." " Yeah." "See?" "So I'll throw the brunch." "Problem solved." "You're gonna throw the brunch." "Okay." "Mom, you live in a box." "There's no room for anyone." "A box full of love and joy is a beautiful box." "No." "There's another PR-- there's a bigger problem." " Oh, come on, guys." " No, this-  the godparents are currently separated." " Yeah." " Joel and Julia?" "Yeah." "I mean, we hope that they'll get back together, but..." "Oh, that's shocking." "I'm--I'm so sorry to hear that." "They were so perfect." "Well, now they're in a state of limbo, so..." "Which is exactly where aida will be if you don't get her baptized, so you two need to choose a new godfather." "Okay." "I am not going to un-ask Joel to be the godfather." "Yeah, that's crazy." "You can't do that." "Crosby, you do not want a godfather who has one foot out the door." "So you let me know." "Sounds very settled." " We'll see you Sunday." " Yep." " Hug." " Mm." "Okay." " See you Sunday." " Mm-hmm." " [Gasps] Oh!" " That's so cool." "It looks so good, doesn't it?" "Huh?" "Pretty good." "The nuance, this is a-- Oh, except the green." "They're too dark." "Well, I like the Greens." "But the yellow helps it." "Remember what I told you-- yellow and green, right?" " Right, no, you said they're like kissing cousins." "I don't know what that means, though." " But they help each other out." " Look at the gradation..." " Guys, the green is fine." " On the yellow--it's perfect." "Wait, wait." "It's a little oversaturated." "Can we do the same thing with the green that we did with the yellow?" "Why is it oversaturated?" " Let's Photoshop it." " What are you doing?" "Where are you going?" "You know what you got to do with the projects-- I like it." "Remember the last time we did that on the-  right, exactly." " Guys, I'm gonna keep this one." " And lower the saturation." " How does this cut?" "Hey, this is only three." "We have, like, ten more pages to go." "We got time." "We got time." "You know what?" "Don't touch the machine." "Make them even." "Make them even." "Make the contours and the vibrancy even." "All right." "Hello." "[Rock music playing]" "♪ ♪" "Oh, hey, drew." "What's up, dude?" "You looking for Natalie?" "She's in here."

"I will use the printer for one hour, and you get it for one hour." "Max, we only have the printer for this week, and we need it every single minute." "Yeah, I know, which is why I need to develop it right now." " How about a half an hour?" " Move, move." "Don't push me out of my chair, Max." "Max!" " Tomorrow, Max." "Tomorrow." " Listen..."

"You're being really, really selfish." "We need you to come back next week." "Oh, that's a good idea." "Don't print it." "Oh, he printed it." "Hon, I think you should go home."

"[Chuckles] Of course it's easy." "We love having you here." "I just wish Crosby had a little more empathy." "He does, Camille." "He does." "You know, he's having a hard time letting go, you know?" "He grew up here." "Right." "Um..." "My mother has decided that aida's soul is in grave danger of being stranded with the sinners if she is not baptized this Sunday." "Ooh." "That's kind of harsh." "Yeah, it is." "So we just want you to know that we won't inconvenience you at all with anything." "You know, she is beyond thrilled to host the brunch after the ceremony, so you don't have to do anything." "That wouldn't have been an inconvenience." "I would have loved to host a brunch."

"And I totally meant to replace it." "Which..." "It was rude, now that you just said that." "And my cashew butter you've been eating." "I don't even care, though." "You're-you're right, man." "I should get my own cashew butter." "Berto, I-I don't even know how to explain this." "It's--it's Natalie." "I was really shocked to see you guys hooking up." "Oh." "Oh, man, I'm so sorry."

"I was coming over to talk to you." "It's aida's, uh, baptism thing." " Oh, yeah." " Yeah." " Is that coming up?" " Yeah, Sunday." " Wow." " I mean, I could-- personally I don't really care too mu" "I would just sprinkle water on her head at home and call it a day, but it's, you know, really important to Renee, and it's a big deal." "So, you know, they--they wanted, uh..." "Yeah, I get it." " You do?" " Yeah." "Yeah, I would be-- it would be awkward for me to be the godfather with everything that's going on, so..." " I would love for you to be" " No." "It's just it could be-- it could be weird, I guess..." " Yeah." "With both." " Well, sure." " You know." "Sure." "I'm, uh..." "You know, I'm honored you asked me in the first place." "I really hope you guys, you know, can find your way back." "I know it's none of my business, but I just, you know-- we love having you in our family, and-  thanks, buddy." " I'm sorry, you know." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Yeah, I'm--I completely get it." "I don't--you know, I don't need to be the godfather." "Ooh, ooh, Sydney, I am very proud of you." "Look how dirty those hands are getting." " What happens when we're done?" " When we're done?" "We're gonna drive it." "This is actually really cool." "It's almost done, isn't it, grandpa?" " Yes, it is." "Huh?" " Mm-hmm." "It's so fun watching them work on this car, isn't it?" "And it reminds me of my favorite times with him." "Oh, my God." "Well, he's saving my life right now." "[Sighs]" "I, um..." "I had to go over to Joel's this afternoon..." " For what?" " To talk to him about aida's baptism, which is this Sunday." " Yeah?" " 'Cause you guys, you know, were supposed to be the godparents, and-  we're not gonna be the godparents anymore?" "Well, no, you're gonna be the-- if you hopefully still want to be the godparent." "But I think I'll ask Adam to fill in for Joel." "So wait." "Joel's already not the godfather anymore?" "Well, I didn't want you to have an awkward Sunday at this baptism." "I thought maybe I should have asked you before" " I-I just would have thought that he would want to be a part of the family, you know, or he would not want to not be part of the family." "Yeah, I-  no--what did he say?" "What did Joel say about it?" "That-that he understood and, you know, that he doesn't have to be aida's godfather." "He was-- Sounds like he does not even care." "No, no, no, no." "That's not how-- that's not how it was at all." " Okay." "Well, what did you--did you talk about anything else?" "Did he ask about us?" "Did he-- Well, I wasn't" "I wasn't there that long." "He didn't ask about me at all?" "He maybe he, um..." "I was really there just for, like, a second, you know." "All right." "I think he's just trying to help." "I'm sorry." "I get it, I guess." "That's okay." "Nora, do you want to have some chicken?" "Hey, there." "Daddy's home." "Hi." "How are you?" "Mmm." "Smells delicious." " Thank you." " What is it?" "Gwyneth Paltrow's roasted chicken." "What is she supposed to eat for dinner?" " [Sighs]" " No?" " No." " All right." " No." "How was work?" " Where--it was great." "Where is Nora?" " Nora's on the floor, playing." " Where is Nora?" "[Grunts]" "Max is upstairs." "He is sulking." " Max is upstairs." "Why?" " He's upset." " Why is he upset?" " 'Cause of your sister." " Because of my sister?" " Your sister." " What are you talking about?" " He went to Hank's after school to work on the printer." "Right." "And she brought him home and just abruptly dropped him off." "Apparently he was getting in the way or something, and she's got-- She's got that huge project that's due soon." "Yeah, I get that." "She has a deadline." "I understand." "But it was just like-  she just kicked Max off the printer?" "Yeah, she did." "She kicked him off the printer..." "I know he's kind of obsessed with that thing." "And it was just the way that she brought him in, like, she was expecting me to apologize, you know?" " Right, yeah, I get that." " I just got that feeling." "Right?" "Mmhmm." "I just felt like, "you know what?" "She doesn't get it."" "She doesn't get it, so I'm gonna let him eat in his room tonight, 'cause he's really pissed, and I am too." "All right." "I get it." "So I think that maybe we should have a talk with her after we calm him down." "I don't know." "Well, why don't we just let her turn the project in, and she'll probably feel embarrassed about how she treated Max once it's all over." "She should." "It was wrong." "I'm sure she'll call and apologize." "She should." "Very sensitive kid." "Let it lie for a couple days, okay?" " Yeah." "Mm-hmm." " Okay?" "[Chuckles] Rough day, huh?" "Yeah." "Not one of my best." "Thought it'd be classier if I got boozy out on the porch instead of inside." "Listen, goose, I want" "I want to talk to you about our selling the house." "I just want you to understand my point of view, my feelings about it." "I'm mom, I-I get it." "I do." " You do?" " Yeah." "'Cause I was not railroading your dad." "No, he's a very stubborn man." "[Chuckling] The most stubborn." "And, of course, I understand that it's hard for you too because you grew up here." "It's your home, and, um," "I was maybe a little selfish not to think about that." "No, I'm--first of all, I'm sorry." "I should never have used that word "selfish."" "You're not selfish." "You always put us first, and this is your home, you know?" "I totally get it." "I-I have my own home now." "I mean, it's currently infested with mold, but I-I do have it." "Well, no, it's our home, and--and while it still is," "I think it's the place where aida's brunch should happen, and I want to throw the brunch." "That is very sweet of you, and I appreciate it, but..." "Renee has to throw this brunch." "It is a very big deal that she celebrate the ticket to heaven with some eggs and muffin at her house." "For her, it's everything." "Well, okay, but I want to do something." "So how about I throw a dinner the night before the baptism for aida?" "Mom, it's a-- that's a really sweet idea, but the baby's 6 1/2 months old." "She's not even gonna know-- No, I know." "It's really not for aida." "It's for the family." "These events are always for the family." "And this family could really use a celebration right now, you know?" "And I would really like to do it." "It would mean a lot." "Okay." "Well, when you put it that way..." "Add a dinner." "Add a dinner to the aida weekend and let the festivities begin." "[Breathing heavily]" "[Knock at door] Hey, can I come in?" "Yeah, come in." "If you want me to leave, I can leave so you guys..." " Oh, come on." " Can have a little moment." "That's--that's clever." "Drew, you don't have to be a jerk about the entire thing, you know?" "Yeah, I'm the jerk now, Natalie." "Oh, hey, Natalie." "Look, um, what we had was fun and all, but it's kind of bumming out drew, and he's my roommate, so I gotta pass." "Can I talk to you for a moment?" "Yes." "Berto." "Okay, um..." "Look, you're pissed." " Yeah." " Fine, I get that." "It's really clear." "Message received." "But, frankly, do you think that that's really fair?" "Like, you did disappear into a cave..." " Oh, my gosh." " With your ex-girlfriend for an entire month." "So you go and sleep with him?" " Hey, man." " With berto, Natalie." "Come on!" "I said I was sorry." "And I got my own cashew butter too, man." " I know." " Drew, I feel like we're forgetting how this went down, that you fell off the face of the earth for an entire month." "Was I supposed to just sit in my dorm for a month and be celibate and wait for you to come hang out?" "No, it's not about that." "It's him!" "I'll leave my own dorm." "Drew." "Well, I feel like this is a really big decision, and we're not even communicating about it." "This is our niece." "How can you just bail out on this?" "I'm not bailing, Julia." "Crosby asked me to step down here." "How are you not fighting for it?" "Joel, how are you not fighting for me, for all of this?" "I mean, you're just-- Julia." "When Crosby and Jasmine came over here and they asked us to be her godparents, that meant so much to me." "I was so proud of that, you know?" "It's a really big deal." "It's a huge honor, and it's a huge responsibility, and I don't know-- maybe you think that it's just some symbolic thing or something, and I know we're not even religious," "but this is a loss for me." "Julia, you're still going to be her godparent." "I wanted to do it with you, my husband." "I just--I don't understand why you're not willing to fight for this, for us." "The Joel I know would have said to Crosby," ""this is my goddaughter, and I'm not bailing out."" "Are you there?" "Joel?" "Yeah, I'm here." "And, no, I'm not willing to stop fighting for our children and for our marriage, but this..." "This wasn't my call." "This wasn't my fight." "So please don't dig in on this, please." "It's over now." "Well..." "Whenever you're..." "You're ready to fight for us, I'm here." "Yeah, no." "Um, it didn't bother me." "It was okay." "Uh, yeah." "Yeah, she is." "She's here." "Well, okay." "All right." "Huh." "Who was that?" "That was Kristina." "Kristina!" "You're kidding?" "What did she want?" "Just you know, seeing if you're here." "Seeing if I'm here." "Why?" "Because if I'm here, then Max is not coming by?" " Pretty much." " You're kidding me." "That's unbelievable." "I mean..." "You were a little harsh with the kid, right?" "How was I harsh?" "I was not harsh." "He--he was off the rails." "This is our place of, you know, work." "Yeah, but you know, Max..." "He's a kid still, right?" "He's not a kid." "This is--he's 14 years old." "No one's doing him any favors to--to keep treating him like a baby." "Yeah." "This is my place of work." "I finally have one, and I'm doing well here, and I-I've waited a long time to have a place of business, and I think my family should respect that, don't you?" "Yeah." "I can't believe I have to explain this to you." "I see your point-- you don't got to explain anything." "Thank you!" "Don't look at me like that." "Looking at you." "See what I mean?" "You got to relax." "You look at me all suspicious." " Take it easy." " Ugh." "Unbelievable." "This family." "What?" "Checking if you're still here?" "No, aida's baptism now has a dinner added." "So now there's a dinner and then the baptism and a brunch." "Oh, God." "You know what you need?" "You need a beer." "I do." "I'm so sorry that this whole thing has snowballed into all these events..." " It's all right." " All of a sudden." "It's a real pain, I know." "You're the servant of two mothers." " Right." " That's what these rites of passage are about, anyway, making the moms happy." "And look, I hate to ask so last minute, but-  anything you need." "What is it?" "I need a godfather." "If it's too big of a pain in the butt, I--you know, I realize-  no, Cros, I-I just-- I'm, uh..." "I'm pleasantly surprised." "I would love to be aida's godfather." "Great." "I didn't know if it was gonna be weird, 'cause you're not a traditional believer or whatever." "I know, I know, I know." "But I believe in love and doing the right thing." "I think that's enough to be a godfather." "Come here." "Come here, man." "I'm moved, man, you know." " All right." " Good." "I really am." "That means a lot to me that you'd pick me, you know?" "I mean, you could have picked anybody in the world." "You picked me to be aida's godfather." "That is awesome." "You're--well, you're welcome." "Who's going to be the godmother?" " I will probably ask Julia." " Julia, that's great." "Especially with everything that's going on in her life right now, that's gonna make her feel really great." "Kristina." "Yes, honey." "Guess who's gonna be aida's godfather." "What?" "Hi, Crosby." "I'm gonna be aida's godfather, that's who." "Crosby picked me to be aida's godfather." " That's amazing!" " How about that?" " Wow." "That's really cool." " Yeah, so..." "That's awesome." "Come here!" "One more." "Come on." "Hey!" "Let's do it." "It's disgusting." "He wears my socks, but he flips them inside out and says that it's clean now or something." "It's like-- it doesn't make any sense." "Well, it makes you think." "Is he going to call me or write me or text me ever again, you know?" "The gatorade thing did bother me, now that you say that." "It's like I'm thirsty." "I bought it, you know?" "I want to come home and have my drink." "Yeah, you know, what are the rules?" "Is there a protocol to this whole thing, you know?" "I mean, I'm not the one that should be reaching out, right?" "God." "I'm not reaching out to her, no." "After she sleeps with him?" "Like, of all people, Natalie." "I mean, of all the things that you could do, you're gonna just go back to the military, really?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "I'm sorry." "I was listening about your conversation too." "Yeah, I know." "I mean, at least we're sort of going through this together in a weird parallel-universe way." "Yeah, that's true." "Oh, God." "What's gonna make it better, like, nothing but time passing?" "We just abide by this concept called time." " Don't, please." " That we all know and love." " [Laughs]" " It makes no sense." "It's just--it's like another realm of understanding." "Speaking of other realms of understanding..." "I think I have a couple things in here to maybe make the time pass a little more quickly, huh?" " Sure, sure." " And ice cream taste a little better." "Weed in the freezer?" " It keeps it fresh." "Duh!" " It keeps it fresh?" " Yes." " I've never heard of that." "What?" "I've never heard of that." " God." " How do you even do this?" "I don't have any idea." "I'm sorry." "You don't know anything about this?" "What--what are you in college for?" "How do you know?" " Because she said it wasn't!" " How do you know?" "I told you he's not going to be there." " Yes, he is!" " No, he's not." " Yes, he is!" " Hey, guys, what's happening?" "Okay, so I really wanted to show daddy the car at the party tonight..." "Mmhmm." "But he said dad's not going to be there." "Well, he's right--dad's not gonna be there tonight." " See?" "I told you." " [Scoffs]" "But you said it was a dinner for the family." "Yeah, it is, sweetie." "So daddy's not a part of our family anymore?" "No, no." "He is." "Um..." "You know, when daddy and I decided to take a break, we also decided to take a break from each other's families." "But he's still a part of your family," " and you're still a part of his." " That's stupid." "Yeah." "Yeah." "It's hard." "So he's coming to the baptism?" "Nope, not coming to the baptism either." "If you're just taking a break, then when's it gonna be over?" "When's he gonna come home?" "I don't know." "[Giggling]" "There's a pretzel in your hair." "[Giggles]" " Leave it." " No." "It's gone." "It's my statement." "It's my big statement to the world, you know?" "Hell is other people." "What did you just say?" "Hell is other people." "What is that?" "It's, um, sartre, or-  star trek?" "No, it was a concept fromstar trek, but it's, um..." "It's the book I'm reading for school." "Sartre?" "What does it mean?" "[Cell phone vibrating]" "It's like..." "Nothing has meaning." "We make the meaning." "Whoa." "That's crazy." "Wait." "We make meaning?" "Yeah, we choose what we want anything to mean, you know?" "It's like time." "I want that ice cream." "I'm choosing it." "It's choosing me." "You make the meaning." "Exactly." "[Cell phone vibrating] Why is mom calling?" "Stop." "So wait-  it means that it tastes good if you will it to taste good." "We don't have more." "We need to get more." "We could make..." "Now she's calling me." "A delivery service for ice cream and make a million dollars." "She's calling me." " Mom?" " Yeah." "There it is." "[Cell phone vibrating] Is there an app?" "What is she doing?" "Why is she calling me again?" "I don't understand." "Do you think something's wrong?" "I don't want to get it." "I don't want to talk." "What if something's wrong?" "[Cell phone vibrating] Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "What if grandpa died?" " Oh, my God!" " Stop." "Don't laugh!" "I'm serious!" "He's fine." "He's fine." "What if he did?" "We have to know." " Amber" " Mom?" "Hello?" "Huh?" "No." "Oh, yeah." "No, no, no." "Of course we didn't forget about aida's baptism dinner." "Pffftt!" "Drew was late." "He just got here, but we're gonna come right now, okay?" "Okay." " Bye." " Kids okay?" "Yeah." "They're just running late." "God, I hope dad doesn't start some kind of a theological brouhaha." "He just can't resist getting into it with anyone wearing a collar." " This should be good." " Very nice house." "Oh, thank you." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "So you must be the person doing the thingy." " The baptism." " Yeah, right." " Yes, I am." " How do you do?" " Pastor Jones." " "Pastoress."" "May I call you "pastoress"?" "Sure." "[Laughs] Zeek Braverman." "I take it that you're not a man of faith," "Mr. Braverman." "A man of faith." "Well, to tell you the truth, three years in Vietnam, uh..." "Really didn't see God anywhere." "Hmm." "Maybe at the time, the lord was working out something you didn't understand." "I think this whole thing's a scam." " Possibly." " Piece of mold was this big." "And now you're living with your parents." " Well, temporarily." " You could have lived with me." "All you had to do was ask." " [Scoffs] Yeah, right." " [Laughs]" "Aunt Sarah's here." "No, aunt Sarah's--I can't." " Max" " I got to go." "All right, what?" "I'm not going to deal with this right now." " All right." " It's not the time or place." "Max?" "Hey!" " Hey." " How's it going?" " Good." " Yeah?" "Yeah." " Happy baptism." " Happy baptism." "Hey, I was gonna get a drink." "You want to grab a-- I can't." "I got to work later." " Oh, right, right, right." " I'm in the middle of this project still-- The project." "How's that going?" "It's very stressful and, um, I don't know." "There's still a lot more to do." "Yeah." "I'm sorry it's stressful." "I'm sure it's gonna turn out great, though." " Yeah, I guess so." " I wanted to talk to you about what happened the other day with Max." " Oh, my God!" " I just wanted everybody to get to each other's side of it." "[Laughs] It was crazy!" "It was crazy." "At one point, he, like, sat on me because I was trying to tell him not to use the computer." " Right." "I'm sorry about that." " I had to say no." " You know how he can react." " And he did not like hearing that." "Right." "It's like he doesn't hear the word "no" quite enough." "[Both chuckle]" "I'm just saying he didn't even-  it's not so much about that" " He couldn't take it in." "It's a really important thing for him to be able to go to Hank's when he wants to go Hank's." "Yeah, but my work is really important." " Hey." " Hi." " How are you doing?" " Great." " You good?" " Thank you." "There's a lot of people here." " Yeah, you gonna be okay?" " So..." "Yes." "Thank you for filling in for Joel." "Filling in for Joel for what?" "For the--for being aida's godfather." "That was--that's-- [Gasps]" "You didn't know you were a fill-in." "I didn't know." "Crosby didn't tell me that." " You didn't know that?" " Crosby didn't-- this is not my fault." "This is Crosby's fault." "Okay, Joel recused himself..." "Well..." " And so thank you." " Happy to fill in." " Sure." "Happy to fill in." " Am I anybody's godmother?" "If I am, I'm doing a bad job, 'cause I can't even remember." "All you have to do is remain alive for now." "I don't understand where you get off telling me that I don't know how to set limits for Max." " What?" " Oh." "Mints, here." "Okay, are you straight on this story?" "'Cause she might grill us." "Okay, so you came to apartment, and you..." "We were gonna go together, and we were gonna take my car, and then my car wouldn't start, so we took a cab to get here." " A cab." " Yeah." "Okay?" " We did take a cab." " Okay, okay, okay." "Here, you look crazy." "Here." "[Both laughing]" "Okay, here." "Your eyes are a little wider open than normal." "Here, do mine." "Oh." "Ow!" "You're getting it in my nose." "Now it looks like you're crying." " Does that look better?" " Yeah, it's fine." "Listen, w-w-w-wait." "Open your eyes a little bit wider." "Then it feels natural." "Okay." "That's the good tip, okay?" "Okay, here we go." "Take a deep breath." "[Both breathe deeply]" " Do we act religious?" " Is this a somber occasion?" "So, um, everyone, could we just bow our heads for a moment and thank the good lord for this beautiful meal?" "Well, you know something-- the good lord was not in the kitchen with my wife, so I'm gonna thank my wife." "Keep us strong and the connections tight, and so it is." "Amen." " Amen." " Amen." "And before you dig in, a toast to zeek and Camille for hosting this lovely evening." "Thank you." "[Overlapping chatter]" "And I just have to say that I have enjoyed so many wonderful evenings in your home." "Thank you." " And I'm gonna miss it." " Well, you know," "I'm gonna miss it too." "I think we all will." " Yeah." " Wh--what?" "You're gonna miss it?" "Why?" "You know they're trying to sell the house." "What?" "No." " You didn't know?" " No." "Is this a joke?" "Mom?" "Well, no, we're not selling the house, we're just--actually, we're just discussing it." "It's a possibility." "Since when?" "Well, since--we've been talking about it for a while." " Calm down." " Well, I didn't-- they're selling my childhood home, and nobody told me?" "Did everybody else-- I had a similar reaction." "Did you know about this?" "Well, we're living here, so, yeah." "Did you know about this?" "That, I heard about a few months ago from dad, but I'm surprised to find out it's actually happening." "What I did not know is that I was runner-up for godfather." "Oh, wow." " Adam." " That's cold-blooded." "[Overlapping chatter] He's so mad!" "I meant to tell you, but you got emotional, and then I was--it felt like we were connecting, and I-I should have told you." "Cros" " I'm just happy that I'm second place, because apparently I have a lot of work to do when it comes to parenting." "Who said that?" " Says who?" " Well, Sarah." "I don't know how to say no to Max." "We don't know how to say no to Max." " Oh." "Oh, okay." " It wasn't like that, Kristina." "No, no, no." "It was not like that." "So I'm just happy to be a godparent." "Her kids are stoned." "You see how stoned they are?" " What?" " They're stoned." "Cheech and Chong-- oh, yeah, they're baked." "Maybe that's why you're not a godparent, 'cause your kids are stoners." " Super baked." " What?" " Yo!" " No?" "They look okay to me." "Sarah, for the record, we did consider you." "It's just, you know, we had asked Joel and Julia 'cause they were, you know, an item." "They were a married couple." "You mean I was considered second, third, or last." "No, you don't have a husband, so we had to ask a team." "So, because I'm not married," "I can't be a spiritual guide for the--for a child?" "You're not electing a spiritual guide." "If something happens, they're gonna raise-- they have the custody." " You don't need a man for it." "Right?" "Am I right?" "It's supposed to be service for-  nothing would have happened..." "Good times at the Bravermans." "If this event wasn't forced down everyone's throat." "I've been going from house to house disappointing my family members all so we can have this thing that doesn't even need to happen right now." "Take it down, Crosby." "Well, it's happening, Crosby, because I asked you to baptize aida, and just because there's a lot of drama going on doesn't mean that baby aida should suffer." "She's not suffering." "She's upstairs sleeping peacefully." "She's not in jeopardy." "Calm down, Crosby." "I don't believe in a God that would send a little baby to hell." "I can't believe you do." "I'm sorry that I couldn't hold the marriage together long enough to make this simple for you guys." "All:" "No!" "It's fine." "It's fine." "I'm gonna--I'm gonna check up on the kids." "Ah, excuse me." " Hi." " Okay." "Can I get you a beer, or you just want to-  no." "No, thanks." "I'm not gonna be that long." "I figured." "So..." "This is it, huh?" "This is it." "Yep." "Yep." "Well, let me ask you something." "What the hell are you doing?" "[Scoffs]" "What the hell am I doing?" "Well..." "I'm, uh, trying to figure things out, you know." "Figuring things out." "Yeah." "Well..." " [Sighs]" " Let me ask you a favor, then." " Okay." " Uh, could you try harder?" "Hey, look, I know that you guys are going through some stuff." "Yeah." "And I know that you're pissed at Julia." "I mean, I don't know the circumstances." "I don't know if that's really important." "It's pretty important." " Okay." " Okay." "You guys have had it pretty good, and now you're going through a rough patch, and you're gonna give up, man?" "Come on." "Look, when..." "I walked Julia down the aisle, I gave her to you, and I was so proud, and I was so sure, and still am, of the man that I gave her to." "I know what kind of a guy he is." "I made a vow to support you and her in that marriage." "I took you on as a son." "[Sighs]" "Well, you know about the celebration, right?" "Mm-hmm." "I'd appreciate it if you'd be there." "I like that." "Print that one." " Yeah." " Don't change it." " I'm not gonna change anything." " Don't mess with it." "I'm not gonna change anything." "I'll be back in an hour or two." "Yeah." "What are you gonna say to Max?" "[Groans] I'm not gonna say anything to Max." "I don't owe my 14-year-old nephew an apology." "I don't know if I'm saying apologize." "I'll probably apologize to him anyway." " But in their defense, um..." " Who?" "Well, look, I'm not defending them, but I was thinking about, uh, how you were talking about the job the other day..." " Mm-hmm." " How much it means to you, how you found something you're good at and you got a future with." "That's probably how Adam and Kristina feel about Max finding photography..." " Yeah." " 'Cause, uh..." "When you find, uh, your thing..." "It's like a life raft..." "Kind of..." "In the storm, you know?" "It's like the stormy sea of life, and..." "Anyway, I'm working on trying to see how people feel, trying to think about--more about other people feeling and all that stuff, so that thought popped in my head about Max." "Yeah." " Yeah." " Really?" "That just popped in your head about the stormy sea?" "Yeah." "Yeah, it just popped in my head, and I'm gonna just say it." "I'm glad you did." " Really?" " Really." " [Chuckles]" " It's a stormy sea of life." "It's very poetic." "Hurry up." "We cannot be late after yesterday, seriously." "I don't even know what I'm checking." "This is like the worst thing ever." "This smells like a beer." "I can't--no." " I'm sure it's fine." " No, it smells like beer." " Ugh!" "What is this?" " Yeah, it's bad." "I'm telling you, I don't know." "I can't wear this in front of mom." " Do you have anything else?" " No." "I can--we can stop and by something-  no, I" " That--that's fine." " I have" " Yes, I'll take it." " It's Ryan's." " Oh, no." "It's, like, the one thing that he left here, and I" "I know I should have, like, sent it back or whatever, but I just-- Yeah, that sucks." "And I'm glad it's gonna go to good use." "Yeah." "Also, if you're sad, obviously, you know, I can stay here if you need me to help you get through this time." "Like a charity thing?" "[Both laugh] As a sibling, you know, like the old days." "Ah, I mean, it seems like you're kind of sad." "Maybe you should stay here so that I can help you..." "Thank you for acknowledging the up side too." "Through the sweatpants phase that you're going through." "It sounds good." "Mutual benefit." "Okay, and you're still gonna go to school and stuff, right?" "Yeah." "Yeah." " Okay, it sounds good." " All right." " Hurry up, please." " I know." "Yeah." "We're gonna be late." "I haven't been to church in a while." " Yeah, right?" " I know." " It'll probably be good for us." " Hey, guys." " Hey." " Hi." "Hey." "Hi." "You look pretty." "Hi, so do you." "Hey, so I rented that printer that Max really likes for another week, 'cause I thought he could come by next week." " Oh." " Really?" " Yeah, I figured" " Thank you." "That's great." "He'll be stoked." "Hey, Max!" "Max!" "Your aunt Sarah rented that printer you love so much for an extra week." " Whoo!" " I can't use it next week." "I'm booked too solid." "[Both laughing]" " Well..." " Great." " Ouch." " Bag of poop for you." "Sorry about that." "Put in your piggies." "Put your piggies in." "Look at this pretty girl." "[Crosby snorting]" "[Giggles]" "Did you mean it when you said to your mom that Jabbar's baptism was one of the greatest moments of your life?" "I did." " You did?" " Yeah." "But you don't believe in all this." "It doesn't matter." "You don't have to, you know?" "Any reason for the family to come together is a good reason, no matter what it is." "Is that true?" "Are you excited to get together with your family?" "She is."
