"We're gonna start on this side of the house first." "This is the center's kitchen." "Wow." " Yeah, and not in a good way." " No." "Hey, Ma, you know, these tiles are kind of grotty." " You're just noticing the tiles?" " That's easy to fix." "I've got some great books on restoration and renovation." "You all can help me pick a look." "Come on." "Yay." "This will be the heart and soul of the center." " The great room." " If this is the great room," "I'd hate to see the good room." "You keep calling it "the center. " It sounds like a cult." " You need a proper name for this place." " Yeah, Nora, and make sure" " it's not Cancer House." " How about Roach Motel?" "All right, you guys." "Everyone, stop." "You just need to have a little vision." "Go with me on this." "Okay." "Now, we'll put a TV and some nice chairs over there, and then over there in that corner will be, like, a rec room, with a ping-pong table and video games." "Mom, what's with all the power tools?" "Yes." "I met with a contractor who had the audacity to quote me $60,000" " for interior demolition alone." " Wow." "Yeah, so I thought maybe we could do it ourselves." " Excuse me?" " "We" as in we here in this room?" "Oh, Sarah and Kitty will be joining us later and that'll be great." "Tommy's out of town." "It's really not that big a deal." "Honestly." "I mean, we just need to, you know, knock out these two little wall things and some stuff back there, air it all out." "It's really just some basic demolition." "No, basic demolition is what we do to each other at dinner after we've had copious amounts of wine." " You can't mix that with power tools." " Plus, you know what?" "It's our day off." "And I don't know if you're familiar with the term." "It means no work." "No, work?" "No, no." "Oh, this will be so much fun." "Do you know how many calories you're gonna burn?" "Know what?" "I'd rather take a spin class." "Nora, you said "tour. " You said "architectural tour. "" " Yeah." " I said it would include a tour." "Oh, Saul, you and William built Ojai from nothing." "Why can't we do that here?" "Build another family legacy." "Something that will live on way past us, something that doesn't include Holly." "I've never done anything like this before." "I've never believed in anything so strongly." "This is my Ojai." "Well..." "Ma, you realize that Ojai wasn't built in a day, though?" "Yeah, and you can't just knock down a wall." "You have to consider electrical, plumbing." "Oh, I have cons..." "I have walked through this entire house with the contractor taking copious notes." "Bearing walls, electrical, plumbing." "I've put it all down here on the floor plan." "It's all marked." "It is..." "Guys, this isn't brain surgery." "So we believe this campaign captures the brand." "We'll launch with a mix of spread print, web banners and direct mail." "That's great, Chris." "Thank you." "Hmm." "Go ahead." "Say what you think." "Um..." "Well, I think it's a great campaign." "I just..." "I'm not sure if it speaks to people like me." "It just feels like it's more directed toward people" " who already know a lot about wine." " She means old people." " No, no." "Sophisticated." " Oh, nice save." "The fact that four women can share an awesome bottle of our Petite Sirah for..." "What, $12?" " When you can't even get a Cosmo for that at SkyBar?" "I mean, we should capitalize on that, sell it as, you know, a girls'- night-out wine, a girls'- night-in wine." "Um..." "But, you know, I also know that, you know, Tommy's a little bit more into the higher-end customer." "No, Tommy's not here." " It's not a bad idea, Rebecca." "Not at all." "You know, we always need trend-watchers." " If you're ever looking for a part-time job." " Really?" "Well, yeah." "I mean, if it's all right with my client." " By all means." " Send us a résumé." "I will." " Where are you?" " I'm at home." "Where are you?" "Oh, Sarah." "Hi." "Sorry." "I thought you were my very demanding and very late husband." "Kitty, I need a pep talk." "Tell me I'm a brilliant businesswoman and I know what I'm doing." "I don't even know why I'm talking to you." "You hated the whole Greenatopia proposal." " I was in a very bad place." " It's a good idea, right?" "You'd use Greenatopia." "Mom would use Greenatopia." "Why are you so out of breath?" "Scrubbing my conference room, otherwise known as my kitchen." "We've got a meeting with a potential investor." "Oh, my God." "There are corn flakes ground into my floor." "Honestly, Kitty, who is gonna walk into my living room and take us seriously?" "All right, Sarah, just listen to me." "You are brilliant, you are experienced and you have a very good idea." "Just stay calm." "Stay calm." "I know that." "Have you seen my notes?" "I had them in my hand a minute ago." "Dining room table, second chair on the left." "Okay, Kitty, I gotta go." "Oh, gee." "Nice talking to you too." " Where'd you get that tie?" " Thrift store." "Looks like it." "Lose it." "We should've rented a conference room." "Maybe we should reschedule." "Danny Brown is gonna be here any minute." "We can't afford a conference room." "We can barely afford lunch." "Besides, venture capital firms love frugality." "It shows that we're only spending on what's critical, maximizing potential profitability." "It's a good story for the business press." " I keep forgetting you're M.B.A." " Don't forget it." "Do you really think he's gonna invest?" "I mean, we sent out 128 proposals" " and only got one hit." " One very big hit." "Phoenix is one of the biggest venture capital firms in California." "Right, but just to clarify, if these guys decide not to invest, we have no backup plan, we're done." "Okay, stop it with the negativity, both of you." "You have to be confident." " Business is like dating." " Oh, no." "Greenatopia has the potential to be incredibly lucrative." " I know that." "You know that." " I do." "Our job is to let him know that, and the key is to be calm." "I'm calm." "Stay calm." " Do you want me to..." "I..." "Okay." "Ready?" "Yep." " Hey, what's up?" "Good." "How you doing?" " Hey." "Hi." "How are you?" "I'm well." "Thank you for coming." " My pleasure." "Sorry we have to meet here instead of a conference room." "It's because we're frugal, and we love frugality." "No, no, no." "This is..." "This is not..." " Graham." "Hi." " Hi." " What are you doing here?" " Well, my colleague Danny Brown, couldn't make it." "So here I am." "You're with Phoenix now?" "Yeah, been with them for the last six months." " Huh." " Yeah." "Oh, great." "That's great." " You look good." " You, too." "Hi, sorry." "So you guys..." " You know each other, then?" " Hmm?" "Yes, yes." "This is Graham Finch." "We worked together briefly." "Ethan Tavis, Kyle Dewitt." " Nice to meet you." " Hi." "Kyle." "Good..." "I shook your hand already." "I don't know why..." "So who'd like a coffee?" " Mm-mwah." "Sorry I'm late." " I've been waiting for you for an hour." "I know." "I got held up." "There's something I wanna" " talk to you about." " Okay." "You remember Mike, in the Washington office?" " Mike." "Oh, yeah." "Mike with the big teeth?" " Well, two months ago, they had these beautiful, amazing twins." "So I brought you the information on the service they used." "Oh." " Surrogacy." " What do you think?" "I guess I've just really fallen in love with the idea of giving a child who's already here a home." "Me, too, but what we've been through?" "Getting our hopes up and having Trish change her mind?" " I don't wanna go through that again." " Neither do I." "With surrogacy, it's not even an issue." "The child is ours, No questions asked." "It is clean, it is easy." "We are completely in control." "Look, it's not like I haven't considered going down this route..." "I just thought, instead of waiting for somebody in the ether to choose us, and then maybe backing out..." " It's something we should think about." " All right." "I'll think about it." "Good." "Yeah." "Oh, hey." "Thanks for getting back to me." "We're talking about an eco-friendly company with an exciting revenue model." "You input your ZIP code, the product you want, and voilà," " we give you your local options." " Customer base is there." " Everybody's dying to buy local." " That's fine, but we're not talking about funding a lemonade stand, okay?" "See, in order for me to recommend that Phoenix invest in your company," "I've got to know that there will be a minimum" " of a million views a month." " Try a million a week." "Uh-huh." "And you know this, how?" "Well, we've crunched some rough numbers." "Right, and now, exactly how did you crunch, and what numbers specifically?" "What was the crunchulation factor in your crunchification?" " All in appendix B." " Let's not get bogged down in the testing methodology, Graham." "The starting demographics of a site like Greenatopia are users with an income average of between 150- and $200,000 a year." "Right." "They're a web advertiser's wet dream." "This is a low-cost company with global growth potential." "Not to mention, we might actually do some good for the planet." "You have not changed at all, have you?" " Hmm." "A little older, a little wiser." "Well, it doesn't show." " I mean, the older part." "Thank you." "You're welcome." " I'm so sorry to interject here." "How exactly do you guys know each other again?" "Uh..." "Well, Graham and I actually worked together briefly at Ojai." "And I can attest that you guys are working with the best." "I mean, she's a royal pain in the ass, but she's the best." " Heh." " Coming from another pain in the ass." "But we're talking about Greenatopia, not about me, so..." "It is about you a little bit." "I have to confess when I saw your name on the proposal," "I was more than happy to fill in for my associate." "Sarah, can we have a word in the conference room?" "What's going on?" "You two are in heat." "Okay, full disclosure, Graham and I did date briefly." " What?" " In the past." "Oh, so he's here to get in your pants?" "No." "This is business." "Okay, I'm sorry that we're having a reaction to this." "It's just that we have put the last two years of our life, not to mention every penny we have into this web site, and I am a little..." "No, no, scratch that." "Heh." "I am hugely uncomfortable with the fact that we have one investor," " and it's your ex-sugar daddy." " Graham Finch is good at what he does." "For a second there, I thought you were gonna tell me he was the one who almost flushed your family business down the toilet." " Okay, wow." " He was a small part of it, okay?" "But he has an excellent track record." "More importantly, he has access to private equity funds, funds which we desperately need." "As far as I'm concerned, the fact that Graham and I know each other," " that could work for us." " How?" "Because he knows he can trust me, therefore, he can trust the company." "Now, you just have to trust me." "Sorry to interrupt." "I got another appointment across town." "Listen, I'd love to hear more." "Are you available for dinner?" " Definitely." " Absolutely." "We'll set it up." "No, I pretty much got a handle on the creative side." "I need to go over the financials with the CFO." " You good with that?" " Yeah." " Sure." " No, I think..." "I think It's a good idea." " Good idea." " 8:00?" "Okay." "Sounds like a date." "Mm-hm." " Sounds like a date." " It's an expression." "Oh, thank God you have answered." "What, Kevin, I can barely hear you." "Yeah, That's Saul manning the wet-and-dry vac." "Kitty, I am in the ninth circle of hell, okay?" "Mom has us all down at the center doing demolition." "She has lost her mind." "Believe me, this is a disaster of Herculean proportion." "She thinks we can do this all by ourselves," "So please come down here, talk some sense into her." " You know what, I have to call you back." " No, no, no!" "Don't..." "Hello?" "Well, hi." "Hi, Trish." "Well, sure." "No, sure." "I have a little time this afternoon, yeah." "I really just wanted to say thanks as well, for letting me sit in on that meeting." "Well, I should be thanking you." "Really, I was impressed and proud." " Really?" " Mm." "Just, I really..." "I really think I'm starting to get a sense for the wine business." " Oh, no, more than just a sense." " It's just so exciting, you know?" "From advertising and then meetings with the distributors, then you're on the phone with a farmer about harvest yields." "It's just cool." "Well, if you're interested, I could teach you." "Yeah, of course I am." "Becca, I think that you should work here full time." " Are you serious?" " Absolutely." "I mean, you obviously have a head for advertising." "You could focus on that, and learn the other aspects of the business." "We could create a position for you here." "Well, have you discussed this with Tommy?" "I am the CEO of this company, remember?" "Besides, Tommy will be thrilled." " I don't know what to say." " Say yes." " Yes." " Great." "L..." "This is gonna be great." "Really." "Wow." "Okay, does anyone know how much asbestos is too much?" "Whoa!" "You know, in a few months, when an actual family is living in this big, beautiful, warm, friendly home, you all are gonna feel so proud about all this hard work you're doing here today." " Oh, dear." " Oh, dear what?" "It looks like you have a termite infestation." "Since when do you know anything about infestations?" "I used to work for a carpenter when I was in high school." " I can chisel, drill and plane." " That is hot." "All right, look, Nora, this is it." "I think at this point, we should reevaluate." "Yeah, mom, and maybe eat some lunch." "And get some air, because this dust is really giving me a migraine." "Here." "Take some aspirin." "Eat a protein bar." "Anything else?" " A glass of Pinot Grigio." " Oh." "So you..." "You look bigger." "I mean, well, just your belly." "Not the rest of you." "Kitty, It's fine." "I actually lost sight of my feet about a week ago." "Pregnancy milestone, I suppose." "But, this baby..." "Sometimes it feels like it's wearing steel-toed boots." " Is there like, a lot of kicking?" " Oh, yeah." "Kitty, I called because I wanted to say to you, in person," "I'm sorry." " For what?" " Changing my mind." "It was unfair to you and to Robert." "You don't owe us an apology." "You had ever prerogative to reconsider, and Robert and I knew that going in." "You know, the truth of it is, I just asked you too many questions." "Oh, God, you had every right to ask me as many questions as you wanted answers to." "Well, my mother even tells me that I can be overbearing at times." "No, Kitty, you were fine." "You just wanted to know that I had considered everything and truth be told, I hadn't." "I didn't want to think about how I'd feel once the baby was born or if I'd regret it in a few years." "I was perfectly happy not to think about any of that." "But after a lot of soul-searching and some sleepless nights," "I have to say, thanks to you," "I'm actually at peace with my decision." "I don't want to be a mother." "You know, Kitty, the more I thought about it, the more I realized what was right for me and this baby," "And that's you and Robert." "I know you have no reason to trust me but if you still want to adopt this baby," "I'd really love that." "Hey, mom, look at this stain." "It looks like this might be water damage." "Justin, would you concentrate?" " That thing looks rotten." " I am concentrating." "If you know so much about it, why don't you come here and do it?" "I can't because my spirit's broken." "I don't even know why I'm here anymore." "You're here to help families with sick children." "Think about that when you work." "Ugh." "You know what?" "I don't think there's even any pipes near that section, not on the plans." "Look, it must be just some sort of weird discoloration." " Do you even know how to read plans?" " Scotty, watch it." " For God's sake, you almost killed him." " I'm sorry, Kevin." "Are you all right, Scotty?" "Guys, guys, I'm fine." "I'm trying to achieve a state of Zen." " Thank you, Scotty." " I said I'm trying." "Hey, everyone." "I ran into the pizza guy out front." "So we have two veggie and two everything, and it's on me." "No, no, no." "I ordered it." "I'll pay for it." "No, no." "I wanted to, because I just got a promotion." " Wow, honey." "Congratulations." " You did?" "Mm-hm." "Thanks." "I'm gonna be working advertising at Walker Landing." "So basically I coordinate with the ad agency, oversee special projects." " That's huge, you know?" " Yeah." "Temp one day, exec the next?" "Yeah, well, I mean, it's not that sudden." "No, and if Tommy feels you're ready, well, then I guess you are." "Yeah, yeah." "Well, actually, He's out of town but my mom thinks that it should be fine, so..." "Yeah." "What's with all the looks?" " I'm just hungry." " Mm." "Starving." "Becca, you gotta admit, you're not exactly qualified for that." "About as qualified as you four are to do construction." " I didn't..." " It's a great house, Nora." "No, wait." "You're not going, are you?" "Well, seeing as I'm not qualified for my new job," "I should go home and brush up on my new responsibilities." " Rebecca, I didn't mean it like..." " I'm going home." "We'll talk later." "Thank you for the pizza." " Looks like you're staying at mom's." "So how have you been?" " How's the family, You know, the kids?" " They're good." " Yeah?" "You seeing anyone?" " Wow." "You cut right to it." "No." "No, I'm not." "How about you?" "Still got a girl in every city?" "Yeah, I cut back to cities with over two million residents" " because I'm not as young as I was." " That's true." "Are we gonna keep flirting, or talk about Greenatopia?" "I wasn't flirting, you were." "And yes." "Yes, let's talk about Greenatopia." "I read the proposal, I went on the website." " All very promising." " Good." "I have to tell you, that's an awful lot of money at this stage." " So give me a figure." " A million to start plus an additional three in the growth phase." " That's not too shabby." "What's the catch?" " No." "There's no catch at all." "We just ask for 30% ownership, you'd be kicked up to CEO and we'd give Kyle and Ethan a happy exit." "This is their baby." " They're not gonna want to sell out." " All right, you drive a hard bargain." "We'll keep them on as co-founders." "I'm not sure they would accept a token offer." " This is their big idea." " It's a good idea and there's no shortage of good ideas." "What there is a shortage of is people talented enough to execute those good ideas and you're one of those people." "If my firm is gonna make this investment, we have to know there'll be somebody who's responsible enough to oversee it." "That's you." "Now, come on, you'd be making a competitive salary, full benefits package." "You'd have a conference room that doesn't have" " a garbage disposal in it, okay?" " Ha-ha-ha." " This is a solid offer." " It's very tempting." "I'm willing to stake a million dollars of my firm's money on this." "On you." "Because I know a good thing when I see it." "Are we still talking about Greenatopia?" "I hope not." " Oh." " That was nice." "That was presumptuous." "It was more than nice." "I'm not sure I can talk business after that." "Me too." "Which is exactly why you should jump on this while I'm vulnerable." "Ah..." "You know, look, the boys are at home, anxiously waiting to hear about the future of their company." "Let me mull it over." "And I'II..." "I'll get back to you." " What, no dinner?" " I'm not hungry for food." "So she just calls you, out of the blue?" "Yeah, I was thrown, too, but I think that maybe it's a sign." "The only thing it's a sign of is how indecisive she is." "She gives us the boot, now she's begging us to be the parents?" "She's not begging." "She's just had some time to think it over" " and she knows now we're the ones." " We were the ones, and she pulled out." "Robert, I understand your reluctance." "I do." "But I'm..." "Chills." "Okay?" "Come on." "You loved her before." "Before." "Look, this is just messy and complicated." "Oh, would you guys stop naysaying?" "The place isn't complicated and messy." "You haven't even walked through the house." "We're not naysaying the house, mother." "Oh, although we're not not nay-saying it either." " Everything all right?" " Everything's fine." "I heard you needed reinforcements, and nothing makes me happier than keeping Democratic bureaucrats waiting while I do a little honest work." " You're staying?" " Yeah, yeah, ten minutes." "It'll be fine." "The boys are upstairs pulling carpet." " But careful, It's dark." " I live for pulling carpet." "Yeah, I won't be pulling any carpets." " Are you sure everything's okay?" " Fine." "Great." "Will you hold this?" "I'm making a stack of all these." "I don't want to miss this one." "You need these, though." "It's just..." "Hold that for one second." "Now, you've gotta collect all this stuff somewhere." " Mom, I'm wearing a very expensive coat." " Just hold it for one second." "I'll get it." " Hey." " Hey." "Where's Ethan?" "Where he always is." " Hi." " Hi." "So, tell me, how was..." "How was dinner?" " Well, we..." "We got an offer." " Oh, my God." "Are you serious?" "How much?" " A million dollars to start." " What?" "Three million when we're up and running." " Dude." " Yeah, not to mention offices." "You know, real offices." "And health insurance, 401-ks." " All that good stuff." " This is so fr..." "Sarah, I don't ev..." " I mean, thank you so much." " Seriously, thank you." "A million dollars?" " So wait, what are the terms?" " Boilerplate stuff." "They want to bring in their company director." " Right." " Standard." "They did offer me CEO." " Nice." "Nice." "Congrats." "And they want to keep you guys on as co-founders." "Co-founders." "I don't..." "I don't even know what is..." "What..." "What does that entail, co-founders?" "You'd be like the figureheads of Greenatopia." " Figureheads?" " Don't get hung up on the title." "The thing is, your ideas would be considered, strongly considered, by management and the board." " We don't get a vote?" " No." "But I do, and I guarantee that your ideas will be heard." "Sarah, no." "This is our company." " You'll still be part of it." " Only it won't be our company anymore." "That's what this is, right?" "You get a great new job, and Kyle and I get what?" "I mean, what are we, like, the Taco Bell Chihuahua or something?" "No, you would still have an enormous stake." " Guys, this is good." " No, yeah, it's good for you." "You knew that wherever we took this, we'd have to compromise." "Of course, we know that, but we also know that... you just essentially sold us out for a million dollars." " And a retirement plan." " And a retirement plan." " This is as good as it gets." "That's right." "Because the economy is in a tailspin and you've got a mortgage" " and an ex-husband..." " And alimony and health insurance." "Yes, I have responsibilities, Kyle, and I'm proud of them." "Okay, so the offer isn't perfect." "But it is the only offer we got, and I guarantee both of you that I negotiated us the best possible deal." "Seriously, Sarah?" "I'm not so sure anymore, you know?" "I'm not so sure I trust that you negotiated the best terms possible for us." "We don't have a choice anymore." "We've eaten through our savings." "We don't even have enough money to pay the rent past next month." "He's right." "We got turned down by...?" "There was 127 other possible investors?" "So we're gonna take this, right?" "We don't have a choice." "You know that." "But come on, at least for a second, show us enough respect to not act like you didn't sell us out here." "I don't even know what to say to that." "I think you just say good night." "Good night." "Voilà." " Here's your new office." " Wow." "But this is Saul's old office." "Do you think it's weird for me to be here?" "I don't know." "Would you be more comfortable in Sarah's?" " No, no." "I'm..." "This is..." " Okay." " Thank you." " Feel free to make yourself at home." "Hang up some of your photographs, or get some throw pillows." " What's wrong?" " I don't know." "Did you give me this job just because I'm your daughter?" "Because let's be honest." "I mean, I don't..." "I don't have any experience." "I'm giving you this job because you're smart and talented, and I think that you'll be an asset to this company." "But would I have given you this job if you weren't my daughter?" "Maybe not." "But that's what people do." "That's what William did." "But I wouldn't be giving you this job if I didn't think that you were up for the challenge." "I opened the door." "Now, it's up to you." "Thank you for being honest." "And I promise, I'm gonna..." "I'm gonna do my very best." "I know you will." "This is so great, you and I here together," " getting our hands dirty." " Yeah, this is good." "Pulling out walls is much better than banging my head against the one that is my husband." "Oh, we're here to fix up this house," " not to dismember your significant other." " Yeah, well, I can multitask." " Hey." "Hi, honey." "Hey, Sarah." " Well, this is nice, mom." " Yeah." " Oh, can I borrow this?" " Great." "You know what?" "If you start at the bottom and work your way up," "I think that's actually what works..." "Well, that's good, too." " Why does she get the sledgehammer?" " Greenatopia got offered a million-dollar cash infusion today." "Wow, no, seriously, mom." "That's amazing." " Well, who gave you a million dollars?" " No, no, don't answer that, Sarah, because she'll want to steal your investor for a donation." "Oh, stop." "Honey, who gave you a million dollars?" "Graham Finch." "Uhn!" "Are you and Graham still seeing each other?" "No, mother." "His firm's interested in the company." "So we had a meeting, we discussed the future of the company and we had a drink and we kissed." "Wow, must have been a doozy of a kiss if you got a million dollars out of it." " It wasn't a trade, Kitty." " Well, I don't understand." "If you just made a million-dollar deal," " why are you so upset?" " I'm not upset, mother." "Aah!" "Kyle and Ethan are furious at me." "They think I tried to sell them out." "I try to make them rich, and now they hate me." "Well, did you try to sell them out?" "No, I made a necessary and financially lucrative business compromise." "They'll be thanking me when they're 40." "Uhn!" " Senator, a hand would be nice." " Secretary of state trumps carpets." "Wait, what are you doing here?" "You have to go." " What are you doing?" "We need him." " I'm doing my job." " Look, it's okay." "I can multitask." " Good, Then multitask away." "Guys, here's the deal:" "Why don't we just open this window and throw the carpet out there?" "That's leaded glass, doesn't open." "Only decent thing in this dump." " Do you really wanna break it?" " Yes." "I'll pay for a new one." "I have never been more serious." "I have no intentions of ever touching this carpet again." "Oh." " Oh." "Oh, mom." "Mom!" " Oh, oh, oh." " Everybody okay?" "Oh." " Yeah." "Yeah, yeah, we're okay." " No." "No." "Mom." "Mom, look, I'm sure, you know, someone will be able to fix this." "I mean, you know, obviously not us." "Right." "A contractor." " I'm sure someone can, maybe." "I could've killed myself." "I could've killed one of you." " Oh, come on, mom." "It's..." " No, this house is nothing but rotten wood." "You all tried to tell me." "The moldy walls, the collapsing ceiling." "I was just too stubborn to listen." "I thought we could save it, our special family project," "My Ojai Foods." "God." "How could I make such a colossal mistake?" "Mom." "Mom." "Hey, you know what?" "You're right." "This house is a..." "Well, it's a mess." "It's a complete and utter mess." "I just said that, Kitty." "Yes, you did, but you know what?" "Maybe that's okay." "Maybe that's okay." "I mean, a lot of great things come out of messy, complicated situations because, you know, they're just meant to be, right?" "Yeah, but, you know, there's a lot to be said for clean, orderly, simple..." "No, come on, Kevin." "You love complicated." " You..." "Why did you go to work for Robert?" "Because he didn't make partner." " What?" "No, I wanted to make a difference." "Right." "Right." "Because mom has always taught us, for better or for worse, that complicated things can be good." "Yeah." "I get the argument." "Of course you agree, because you ran for president." "Nothing simple about that." "And then there's Sarah." "Sarah's in business with two teenagers," " for God's sake." " Well, they're 28." "She goes out to dinner with her ex, she kisses him, she gets a million dollars." " I mean, that's complicated." " That's really complicated." "Oh, you know what?" "Then there's Justin." "Justin's an addict and he went to war." "Okay, and then there's Uncle Saul." "I mean, that is incredibly complicated." "Kitty, I so appreciate you trying to cheer me up" " but it isn't..." " No, no." "No buts." "You're not allowed to give up." "You're not allowed to give up because you believe, in your gut that this is right." "And besides, we've all inherited this absurd drive to make things that..." "Yes, they seem complicated and they're messy but we can turn them into something great." " Yeah." " Right?" "Yeah." "Right." "And if you give up, well, then, there's just no hope for the rest of us." "Don't give up..." "Oh." "Oh, man." "It's not..." "Mom." "Thanks anyway, Kitty." "Look, I know you can set this up." "I need a face-to-face as soon as possible." "So could you give me a call?" "I..." "Well, I have something I just wanna bounce off of you." "So call me when you can." " Hey." " Hi." " Thanks." " Everything okay?" "Oh, yeah." "Look, obviously, I work for you but we don't always have to be so professional." "Okay?" "We are related." "I am your brother." "We just have a "in" and a "law" attached." "Kitty tell you that I had brought up surrogacy?" "I mean, with what we've gone through, it seems like the simple, straightforward thing to do." "The baby would be ours legally and biologically." "So let me guess." "You'd rather a surrogate, Kitty wants Trish?" "Yeah, exactly." "And look, I get it, if this goes well, we have a baby in three months." "But now Kitty's got feelings and she's got chills and, I mean, I'm willing to stand down but if she's wrong about this..." "Look, take Kitty off the table for a moment." "What do you want?" "I guess I don't know." "Thanks for stopping by my office." "It's not gonna be your office for long." "Yeah." "Listen, Graham, I just..." "I want to thank you for your faith in me." " Oh, yeah, sure." " And for being prepared to take a risk with Greenatopia." "But you're backing out, right?" " I'm backing out." " Heh-heh." "Oh, boy." "Oh, man." "I haven't even made a pass at you yet today." "Pass or no pass, we can't accept your offer." "I'm sorry." "Look, if this is a negotiating tactic, I actually do have a little wiggle room" " on the initial investment." " I'm not negotiating." "Well, then this better be because you got a better offer." "Doesn't have to do with, you know, Mutt and Jeff." "It's Ethan and Kyle." "And yeah, actually, this is about them." "I don't want them to settle for a token role in a company they began." " You're getting soft, kid." " I'm not soft." " Maybe a little bit." " I'm offering you a bird in the hand here." "I know that." "And it is very tempting." "But I've taken a risk with these guys." "Probably the biggest risk of my professional career because they inspired me to with their enthusiasm and their optimism." "And I want to stay a part of that." "I can't sell them out because Mr. Handsome walks in" " Ha!" " And offers me a salary with benefits." " So this is about the kiss, isn't it?" " You're unbelievable." "You're the one who brought handsomeness in." " As a side note." " Yeah, just so you know," "I was looking for an excuse to look you up." "I know that." " I think about you." " Graham, I'm flattered but there was a reason that we didn't work." "Well, I'm not asking for your hand in marriage." "I know that, too." "But really, you know, what?" "A fling?" "You travel all the time, I'm rooted here." " Well, I'm here now." " Goodbye, Mr. Finch." " It was nice seeing you." " You, too." "Oh, my God." "Just so you know, this is that one last..." "Yeah, yeah." "I got it." "I got it." "Just do me a favor." "Don't turn around yet." "Okay?" " What, did the rest of the ceiling cave in?" " No." "Did you find a family of possums living in the crawl space?" " Why are you dragging me in here?" " Mom, be quiet, all right?" "Just be quiet." "Do I at least get a cigarette and a chance to say my last words?" "Oh, I think you're gonna owe us big time for this one." "Okay, Nora, turn around." "Come on." "Oh, my God." "What..." "What is th...?" "What did you...?" "Did you...?" "Did you...?" "Just a little something we whipped up this morning." "When the ceiling came down, some plaster fell from the adjoining wall" " and there it was." " It's amazing." "See, without you forcing us to demolish this place, we never would've found it." "All right, I'm keeping the house." "Oh, sweetheart, that's great news." "And you're gonna get an architect, and a contractor." " Yes." "Yes." "Hey, what's going on?" "Hey, well, I'm just moving into my new office." "Didn't my mom tell you?" "No, no." "I haven't seen her yet." "Oh, well, she offered me a position managing advertising." "If you want to go talk to her, I can just go back to my desk and wait..." "No, no, no." "She offered, you accepted." "Seriously, congratulations." " We're..." "We're lucky to have you." " Thanks." "Why wasn't I told?" " I made an executive decision." "Aside from the fact that I should've been consulted, how long has she been working here?" "What, two, three months?" "Tommy, you're just gonna have to trust me on this one." "I trusted you when you said we couldn't afford Kevin's law firm." "I fired my brother." "And now you're offering your daughter an executive position?" "It was your decision to fire Kevin, not mine." "Now, I know that she is inexperienced, but she will learn on the job." "Sarah and I started out in the warehouse." "That's how we do it." "Our employees start from the ground up." "Yeah, well, I have a different management philosophy than your father." "My father made this company a success." "This company is not your family business anymore." "Well, you have made that very, very clear." "So take it to the board." "Let them decide." "That won't be necessary." " Hey." " Hey." " Can I come in?" " Yeah, of course." "Nice office." "This used to be Saul's, right?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Well, I got you an" "I- suck-and-I-should've-been-more - supportive/office-warming present." "I don't even know If that exists, but here." "Thank you." "Rebecca, I was wrong." "Maybe It's easier to concentrate on your career than my lack of one." "I..." "But if this is something that you want, I'm really happy for you." "Look, I know my mom gave me a big break here." "I really think that I could be good at this." "I know you'll be good at this." "Well, on that note, I'm gonna let you work because It's your first day and I don't wanna get you fired, so bye." "Thank you." "Good news." "We're still poor." "Can I come in?" "Yeah." "You were right." "Greenatopia is your company, and you deserve to steer its future." "I'm sorry if you felt that I tried to sell you out." "I really want to be part of this." "Sarah, I kind of feel like we're this band, you know." "And you're the lead singer, and you signed with a big record label, and you left the rest of the band high and dry." "You know, you screwed up." "It's gonna be tough for us to trust you again." "Oh, come on." "I brought pizza." "Please." "So you really turned down a million dollars?" "Oh, yeah." "A million dollars, an actual salary, expense account, benefits and an ongoing sex life." " I could help with that part." " I'm good for now." " Okay." " What I do want is a beer." "Done." "We good?" "To poverty." "Hmm." " There's the heart." " I think I see a hand." "There, by the baby's head." " Oh, yeah." "It's running for president." " It's..." "It's waving at us." " Saying hi to mommy and daddy." "Look, the baby's gonna turn now." "No wonder it feels like something's punching my cervix." "Look at its little face." "Would you two like to know the sex of the baby?" "No." "No." "I think We'll keep it a surprise." "Oh, God." "It's..." "It's beautiful, huh?" "Okay, Tommy." "Why am I being summoned here in the wee hours of the night?" " Can you sit down?" " Where's Holly?" "Probably out celebrating Rebecca's new job." "Ah." "Yeah." "Well, I heard." "So what, have you brought me here to commiserate with you?" "You're here to help me fix this." "Holly doesn't respect this company's history," "She doesn't respect my position, my experience, nothing." "Right." "So what's the problem, Tommy?" "You tried to make it work." "Well, obviously I can't." "Look, I'm not gonna stand by and watch her seize control while she shuts us out." "My offer stands." "I will help you get her out." "Good."
