"We're shuttling our kids back and forth with these little roller suitcases." "The therapist told us we have to set up a routine and be consistent with the schedule." "I have this job for surfsport, and so I wondered if we could do the job together." " Just like we used to?" " Except that I'm the boss." "Yeah." "Are you able to tell Sarah how you feel about her?" "I think it's good." "It is." "It's good." "Send it." "But I don't know." "I feel like we should open it up one more time." "No, no, no, no, no." "Just look at it one more time." "Just stop second-guessing yourself." "It's good." "Send it." "Yeah, but I want it to be perfect." "Hit "send." It's perfect." "No, you said that nothing's ever perfect." "You said that, and now, oh-  nothing until now." " Now you're saying-  come on, we've been over this." "We've seen everything." "It's--it's over, all right?" "The fat lady is taking a bath right now." "How about this letter?" "Maybe it should be a little-- oh, oh." "Congratulations." "You just sent your first major project." "All righty." "I got the rest of your toiletries, buddy." "Don't forget to brush." "Okay." "Honey, why are you bringing your boots?" "It's gonna be, like, 80 in Sacramento, right?" "Yeah, well, I'm still gonna need them because after visiting sutter's mill, my class is going to be panning for gold on the Southern fork of the American river." "Oh." "The river's been mostly stripped clean since the gold rush era, so I don't expect to find anything, but many tourists still enjoy trying." " All righty." " [Groans]" "I'm not gonna enjoy trying if my feet are wet and cold, so I'm taking my boots." "I got you 100%." "Well, you can put them in my bag." "No, I can't put them in your bag." "Yeah, you can." "I have tons of room." "No, I can't because your bag isn't going." "Honey, of course my bag is going." "I'm not gonna walk around with no clothes." "No, I don't want you to chaperone." "And so it doesn't make sense for your bag to go if you're not going." "Wait." "What--honey, I'm" " I wish I was still friends with Micah." "He gets to take an extra bag because of his wheelchair." "Okay, can you stop for a second?" "Why don't you want me to chaperone?" "I don't know." "I just don't." "Okay."

"He is not your friend." "You slept with Berto." "That's worse." "Okay, wait." "Let me just get this straight." "My big crime is that while we were very clearly not together," "I slept with somebody that you just accidentally happened to live with?" "It's so different." "You slept with Berto."

" No." "I think you're gonna keep calling me until you hear from them, which could be days." "Days?" "I certainly hope not." "You're ridiculous." "Really, you're ridiculous now." "I'm not ridiculous." "I was sitting in my apartment." "I was driving myself crazy, so I thought I'd come here." "Yay." "Here I am." "Well, I can't-- you know, I'm doing stuff."

"I'm gonna help you with these flowers." "Torture me is what you're here to do." "I don't want you to touch the flowers, though." " Just give me something to do." " You know what?" "I got gels." "I can't find the gels." "Remember when you worked here, when I paid you to--to--to do all this?" "Yeah, find those gels." "I can't find 'em since you stopped working." "Fine." "What do you think their response is gonna be, though?" "Just don't ramble, 'cause if you ramble, I'm gonna punch a bird." "I'm not gonna ramble, okay?" "I'm just here to help you and..."

"Or, you know, "oh, we need a little more time to think about it,"" "or, like, "hey, we're having a meeting on Tuesday, and that's why we haven't gotten back to you.""

" You can't do that." " I know." " Joel." "He was freaking out yesterday, and it's all my fault." " What happened?" " I went to go pick him up, and I got the baseball schedule mixed up, so I went to the wrong field." "So you show up at the cafeteria with a shiny, new phone at lunchtime just to make up for that mistake?" "[Sighs] It wasn't like that." "It's not a bribe." "Listen to me." "He was worried that you weren't gonna pick him up that afternoon, and so I tried to reassure him." "So I called you..." "Right." " And you didn't" " I called you back." "Texted me back an hour later, and by then, he was a total mess." "You couldn't wait an hour to make this decision?" "I know." "Yes, I'm sorry." " Joel, that's ridiculous." " [Sighs]" " Joel..." " He feels like we're gonna let him slip through the cracks, you know?" "And I-I can't blame him, with the way we've been communicating." "Like you buying a phone without talking to me about it first?" "Yeah, right." "Okay, good." "We're on the same page with that part." "You should have just seen him, Julia." "He's melting down in front of me, and I feel like all these abandonment issues-- they're coming back up." " Because you moved out." "He's got-  let's talk about the real reason." "He's got your number, my number, and your parents' number in the phone." "That's all he's allowed to communicate with." "Okay, he was texting with the baseball team on the way home." "Okay, well, he's not allowed to do that." "I'll talk to him about that." "You talk to him about that." "You're doing the parenting right now." "[Sighs] I'm so tired of fighting." " I don't" " Can we just stop?" "You're not willing to fight for anything." " I think he can hear us." " Okay, fine." "That's real convenient." "I'll see you later, sweetie." "You just give me a call if you need anything." "Julia..." "[Clears throat]" "[Feigning coughing]" "Amber." "It's time to get up, man." " Why do I need to get up?"

"I already missed it." "Drew, it's not too late." "You have to go." "Look, I haven't been making you do anything, okay?" "So the one thing you have to do is go to your one class." "I'm gonna make you go to your one class-  you can't make me go to my class." "I can make you." "It's my apartment, and you have to go, okay?" "Thank you." "It's very bright." "Jeez." "Drew..." "Stop being such a baby and go to your class." "Oh, my God." "I don't want to go to class, okay?" "I don't want to see Berto and Natalie." "I don't want to think about that." "Please."

"You can't do anything, so just let it go." "Oh, my God, I just" "I feel like I'm gonna-- I'm so..." "I'm gonna cry." "[Sighs]" "Not for real, though, right?" "You're not gonna cry, right?" "If I get bad news, I'm gonna absolutely start crying." "I'm-  can't you control that?" " No, I can't control it." "How can I control my human emotions?" "If I get bad news on the phone, I'm going to start crying." "Maybe he won't use the phone." "Maybe he'll email you." "[Chuckles] Great." "I'll just cry at my email, then." "Nope, nothing." "Nothing, nothing." "Ugh." "[Sighs]" "It's just-- the waiting is the worst." "But it's good, though." "It's good, so just relax." " Why is it good?" " Just relax." "[Mumbles dejectedly]" "Just relax." "Hank?" "What?" "I mean, you looked disgruntled." "You looked like you were stressed out." "No, I am." "I am." "I thought you needed to just--forget it."

"Be" "I-I want to be here, and--and it seems like you want me to be here." "I do, I do, as..." "My friend, you know?" " [Scoffs]" " I mean, that sounds so-  oh, yeah, all right, okay, okay."

"Oh." "Yeah, you know, he used to have these really bad tantrums..." " Yeah?" " But it was years ago." "I'm sorry, you know?" "I just--I thought that he was past this stage, but I guess it's never over, so..." "Uh, all right, listen, thanks a lot for staying here with him." "I know it couldn't have been easy after seeing that." "Max is--is a cool dude, you know, most of the time." "And honestly, I'm not supposed to say this, but a lot of these kids-- they're jackasses." " Well..." " You know, I-I try to" "I try to step in where I can, but it's--it's gotten bad." "I think that next year is gonna be much better." "I really do." "I hope so." " It will." " Listen, you're a good man." "Thanks for sitting with him." "Yeah." "All right." "Take care." "Hey, tellEl presidenteI'll miss him gold-mining tomorrow." " I will." " All right." "Ooh." "[Shivers]" "Hoo, hoo, hoo." "It's chilly." "It's so chilly." " Oh, yeah, well" " Here, look what I got us." "Oh." "There you go." " Yeah." " Yeah, just snuggle in here." "Snuggle up." "Yeah." "It's really nice by the fire." "Yes, it is." "It's a good fire pit." "Hmm." "Well, what the hell was I thinking?" "I should have built this thing 30 years" "I mean..." "Really?" "Can you believe that we've been here 44 years?" "What happened to the time?" "The house was so different then." "There was an oak tree there where the barn is, remember?" "Yeah." "I loved that tree." "Yeah, I know you did." "I was so sad when it got that..." "Dreadful..." "What was-- some kind of oak disease, right?" "Oak tree disease?" "No." "Yeah." "No, the tree didn't have a disease, Mille." "See, I wanted to build the barn there, and I knew you loved the tree, so I told you it had a disease, and then I cut it down." " You did not." " Yeah, I did." " Are you kidding me?" " Mm-mm." " Ezekiel Braverman." " [Chuckles]" "The truth finally comes out." "Yeah, I-I've been holding it in so long too." "[Chuckles]" " Really?" " Well, yeah." "I mean, God, you know, this guy who wants to buy the place-- he called my barn "a shed."" "You know, it's gonna get torn down." "He'll probably replant some kind of a scrub oak or something." "I don't know." "What are we gonna do?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "I mean, I still want to sell." "That hasn't changed." "But, I mean, it's just so fast." "Hmm." "Now we have Crosby and his family living here." "I don't know." "Victor's counting on finishing that car with you too." "I'd hate to take that away from him." "Mmhmm." "Yeah, I mean, the offer came in pretty quick." "I guess there might be others, but..." "You know, there's no guarantee, is there?" "So you think we should take it?" "[Sighs]" "Mille, I want what you want." "I want to wait." "We'll put it on the market in..." "Three or four months, the way we originally planned to do..." "When we're ready." "It's a nice fire, isn't it?" "Yes." "It's a good fire pit." "[Sighs]" "Max." "Buddy-- I said I don't want to talk." "I know you don't want to talk about it, but we've been driving for over two hours, and I think your dad and I can help if you explain to us what happened." "Can we turn on the radio?" "[Sighs]" "Yeah." "That's a good idea." "We can wait till we get home." "We'll talk about it then." "[Music playing faintly on the radio]" "Why do all the other kids hate me?" " Honey, nobody hates you." " They're just idiots." " Nobody hates you." " Is it because I'm weird?" " [Laughs]" " Honey, you're not weird, okay?" "I think sometimes-- I don't know-- kids don't understand your asperger's, and they misinterpret it as being weird or whatever." "But you're not weird." "You're--you're so smart, and you're hilarious." "If I'm smart and hilarious, then why do they hate me?" "They..." "They don't hate you." "I promise." "Trevor peed in my canteen." "I'm gonna kill him." "He said he did it because I'm a freak." "I am a weirdo freak." "You're not a freak." "I think he's right." "No, he's an asshole, Max." "He's an idiot." "You're not a freak, honey." "I think I am a freak." "I try to understand them, but I can't." "Asperger's is supposed to make me smart." "But if I'm smart, then why..." "Why don't I get why they're laughing at me?" "They all do it, even the nice kids, even Micah." "And I don't understand why." "I don't understand." "It's okay." "Honey, it's okay." "You're not allowed to be without a seat belt in a moving vehicle." "I don't care." " I don't like being hugged." " I don't care right now." " I don't like being hugged." " I know you don't." "I just want you to listen to me." "I don't like being hugged." "Shh." "I love you, buddy, okay?" "[Crying]" "I love you so, so much." "It's okay." "[Trolley bell ringing]" "[Car horns honking]" "Hank?" "Hi." "Hey." "Hi." " What are you..." " Well, I just figured, uh..." "I don't know." "I figured I should be here as a friend in case you cry or something." " Thank you." " Yeah." "You don't want to be alone when you cry, right?" "We'll go get a drink, and we'll cry together." "Yeah, good luck." "Hey, wa-- Sarah, wait." "Don't cry no matter what happens in there." "Just don't--don't cry, 'cause..." "The work that you did..." "Was phenomenal." "You should be proud of it." "I'm proud of you." "So, no matter what happens, just know that."

"Through the wall in the hallway?" " Yes, please." " I'm not playing it." "Drew, I've done everything for you." "I've let you stay here." "I've fed you." "I've given you drugs." "Please, the least you can do is play me a song." "Drew, I feel sad, and it's gonna make me feel better." "I can't sing also." "You know I can't sing." " Please?" " [Sighs]" "Please, for me?" "I'll play it." "You're gonna feel bad for me, but whatever." "I'll help you." "I'll--I'll figure it out and sing with you, okay?" "All right."

"Well, if I take it back, I'm not getting you an upgrade." "No." "You can take it back." "I don't-- I don't want it." "What's going on?"

"No, but is it my fault that you and mom got separated?" "Absolutely not." "Because Sydney said that before I moved in with you guys, everything was better." "Okay, well, first of all..." "You didn't just..." "Move in with us." "You understand me?" "You came to be our son." "That means that..." "No matter what happens..." "No matter what you do..."
