"Yeah, I know it's become really popular, but it's something I've been diagnosing for the past ten years, so, you know what, we'll try this." "If it doesn't work, we'll try something else." "Right." "Sorry, doctor, he gets like this sometimes." "No, it's okay." "I've seen couples do a lot worse." "Oh, no." "We're not together." "I'll try not to throw up." "Make that known." "Anyway, I really appreciate you seeing us very much." "Oh, it's no problem at all." "Hey, listen, let me give you my card." "Oh, great."

"I don't really know that much about recording studios, and frankly I'm not even sure what it is that you do every single day, but somehow you've managed to convince my husband, who's pretty conservative," "that this is actually a really good idea." "And I'm a little bit concerned." "You know, there's a lot riding on this." "I feel like this is a big gamble with my family." "I have a daughter that's about to go to college next year." "I have a son with special needs." "And I'm about to have a baby, so I'm worried." "I've been doing this for ten years." "I've worked with hundreds of artists that wanna work with me again." "We're not having a conversation right now." "This is the end of it." "All I'm asking you is to not screw up." " Okay." " That's it." "Now, I'm gonna go ahead and go pee." " Okay." "Do you need" " I got it, I got it." "I'm good." " It was a good little chat." " Good talk." " Yeah, that's" " You're not mad though, right?" " Nope, not at all." " Okay, just concerned." "Hi." "Zach?" "Can I help you?" "Yeah, I'm Adam Braverman." "Haddie's dad." "Oh." "Your parents at home?" "Thank you." " Welcome." " Thank you." "I don't wanna defend what Alex did or make excuses for him." "He made a mistake, and he knows he did." "And he feels sorry for it, and both my wife and I are sorry that he hit your son." "And she wishes she coulda been here, by the way, but she's, uh, gonna have a baby soon." "Wasn't feeling well, so..." "Anyway, regarding Alex, I don't know what you've heard about him through the rumor mill or whatever but" "Well, we know what the D.A. has told us." "Oh, that makes sense." "I mean, he doesn't go to the kids' high school, so..." "He never even went to high school." "No, that's not true actually." "He did go to high school." "He just didn't graduate with his class." "He got his G.E.D." "Got it about a year ago, I think." "G.E.D. or not, this kid assaulted my son, and he is going to be held responsible for his actions." "Okay." "My daughter Haddie met Alex last summer while she was working at a soup kitchen where my mom volunteers time." "And Alex works there too." "And when my wife and I found out that Haddie was dating Alex, we were both very against it." "And I am embarrassed to say that..." "The initial information about him, it just-- it just--it scared us." "Did you know he had a record?" "No, we didn't." "We found that out recently, and it shocked us because of the Alex that we've come to know." "This is a good kid." "This is a guy who is trying very hard to change his life." "In fact, the first time he went to that soup kitchen, it was to get a hot meal." "He was homeless, and now, you know what, he runs the place." "He's 20 years old, and he's the boss." "And he runs that soup kitchen really well." "He's a responsible guy, and I can't tell you how hard he tries to do the right thing." "Look, I'm sorry that he hit your son." "I really am." "But he showed up at that party completely sober, and quite frankly there was a lot of underage drinking going on, and all he as doing was trying to bring my daughter Haddie home safely." "But Alex has a previous record, and he could go to jail if you press charges, so..." "He doesn't deserve that." "He doesn't deserve to go to jail." "He's just too good and decent a person." "And I don't wanna see his life destroyed." "Yep." "This is getting ridiculous." "I know how much you love your latte, so here, okay?" "On the house, no more running around." "Stop being crazy, all right?" "Zoe, Zoe." "Come here, please." "Um..." "I've been feeling like an idiot for what I did, so, um" "You're just avoiding me?" "Yeah, I guess so." "Hey, have a seat." "Let me..." "Listen, I just" "I wanted you to know that I wasn't just helping you because of some ulterior motive." "Although, okay, there was an ulterior motive there." "But I also wanted to help you." "And I do still wanna help you." "Do you wanna why I said no?" "Whatever." "Don't worry about it." "No, I would-- I would really like to" "Yes, please, tell me." "Okay." "Well, I want a closed adoption." "I just feel like it's just so hard already, you know." "And the thought of, like, handing my baby over to someone that I know just-- someone that I like, just I can't." "So I just feel like a clean break would be easier." "Mm-hmm." "God, that sounds so terrible." "No." "Hey." "Zoe, that doesn't sound terrible." "I completely understand that actually." "I really do." "Okay." "Okay?" "Could you do something for me?" "Okay." "Could you start buying more coffee?" "Yes." "I will happily buy more coffee." "I will see you in an hour." "Mmm, 20 minutes." "No, I'm not that bad." "45." "You actually are that bad." "My boss is thinking that I'm stealing, my numbers are so low." "20 minutes then." "I'll see you in 20 minutes." "Okay." "Cool." "Okay." "Hello." "Hey, it's Dr. Prestridge." "Just calling to follow up on Jabbar." "How's that rash looking?" "Oh, um, it's all gone actually." "Good, good." "I do think that we should probably try to keep him, you know, wheat-free for, like, another 30 days just to rule everything else out, if you guys are up for that." "Yeah, yeah." "That--that sounds good." "Sounds like a plan." "Great." "Uh, Jasmine, I want to ask you something, and it's a little awkward." "This is, uh, actually the first time that I've ever done something like this, and I'm a little nervous about it." "And if you're-- you know, if you feel like" "I'm overstepping or, uh, if you're just not comfortable with this, please, please just say so." "I won't be offended, I promise." "Do you wanna grab dinner sometime?" "Sure." "Sure." "I'd--I'd love to." "Hey, Mr. Braverman." "Hey, Amy, how you doing?" "I wanted to bring back these clippers." "Oh, no, no, no, that's okay." "My dad said that they're not ours." "Drew brought them over." "Hey, Drew!" "You got company, Drew!" "Drew, get out here!" "Drew!" "What?" "What?" "Hey." "Oh, hey." "Um, sorry." "I didn't know that he was gonna, like, yell at you." "Oh, no, he's just getting old." "They just yell a lot, I guess." "Yeah." "Well, I wanted to bring these back." "My dad said that they're not ours." "Oh." "They're not theirs." " Oh, huh." " Yeah." "Kidding." "Who knew?" "How weird." " Yeah." " Um..." "I like your shirt." "Oh, thank you." "Actually, I stole it from my sister." "Hey, how's your dog?" "Oh, he's fine." "Okay, I was pretty nervous about that actually." "No, seriously, it's okay." "I mean, he always comes back." "Okay, great." "Yeah, you sure disappeared though." "Yeah, I-- I had some homework, and one of my shows was coming on." "So I had to-- I'm sorry about that." "Yeah, it's okay." "Okay." "Well, I guess I better go, so I will see you later." "♪ But I hope I'll know when it's passed ♪" "Actually, Amy, hey." "I know this is-- it's kinda random, but would you wanna, like, see a movie with me?" "What, like, right now?" "No, no, um, like, this weekend?" "Yeah." "Yeah?" " Yeah, sounds good." " Great." "Okay." "All right." " All right, bye." " Bye." "See ya." "♪ ♪" "Hi." "I was gardening." "The chair looks great." "Mom, Dad!" "What happened?" "They're dropping the charges against Alex." " You're kidding." " Uh-uh." "His lawyer just called him." "Well, that's great." "What'd the lawyer say?" "That the Bells don't want to pursue it anymore, that there's no case without them, and something about you two." "I can't believe you guys." "Why would you not tell me?" "Well, we weren't sure that was gonna happen." "Well, Dad, thank you." "You're welcome." " I love you." " I love you, ooh." "And I love you." "Okay, thank you, guys." "I'm gonna go take a shower." "She's so happy." " We did a good thing, huh?" " Mm-hmm." "You did a good thing." " It was your idea." " You made it happen." "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "It seems like there's something on your mind." "If this is about the recording studio," "I'm happy to talk about it." "I'm not worried about that at all." "I'm just thinking about stuff." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "It's the outline of her hand." " Mm-hmm." "Yep." "And her nose." " What is it?" " Nothing, I'm just" "I'm just a little bit worried." "Listen, it's a good thing it's a girl, okay?" "Yeah, I know, but there's still a chance because of Max, you know." "I mean, the statistics are better." "I know." "But no matter what," "I'm gonna love her so much." "I already do."
