"Hey, how'd that, uh, job interview go?" "Great, fantastic." "Really?" "No." "You know what, you should invent like a shoe LoJack, like a beeper thing, you know?" "I was thinking about a kid shoe with a clicker." "It beeps, you find it." "That's great." "I love it." "It's brill." "It was my idea and I feel like you just kind of took it." "Hey, Gordon, nobody's phoning it in." "You are an essential part of this company, okay?" "And we're in trouble." "Gordon's the boss and you're just a serf, Son." "You know what happens to serfs." "They get beheaded." "And I'd like to offer you a job." "Come on!" "I'm in!" "I'm in Alvin Ailey!" "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah." "Oh!" "New York." "Yes." "I miss you guys." "I miss you." "Yeah, you sure?" "I do." "This is going to be fine, right?" "Yep." "What?" "You don't think?" "You don't think it's going to be fine?" "Honey, I just said everything's gonna be fine." "Well, you didn't sound very convincing." "Oh, my God." "Giving Sarah a job is a great idea." "It's gonna work..." "Yeah, right?" "I mean, she's smart, she's talented." "Yeah." "She knows it's my territory." "Absolutely." "She's gonna respect that, right?" "One hundred percent." "You're all fidgety." "I'm not fidgety." "You are fidgety." "You're like, fidgety." "I'm not fidgety." "Go get in your car, grab a latte, get your muffin, have your morning routine." "You'll be fine." "Honey, why is Suze Lessing walking up to our front door at 7:30 in the morning?" "What?" "Oh." "Suze Lessing." "She has that look." "What look?" "That look like she wants something from us." "Listen, you're going to have to deal with this." "I got to get to work." "Hello." "Good morning." "I can't walk in my shoes." "Will you hold that for one second?" "What do you think?" "Oh, wow." "I feel like I just need something to cover up Mmm." "You know?" "Like a blazer or sweater." "A blazer, but it's good on its own." "You look great." "Fabulous." "Wait." "So, what, you're working at Uncle Adam's, but you're still working at the bar?" "Yeah, but it's just temporary." "And Grandma and Grandpa will look after you." "Yeah, we got it covered." "Not that you need babysitting, but you know." "It's cool." "Make sure they do some kind of school..." "Take it easy." "Hey, if you need help with your math, call Aunt Julia, 'cause disturbingly she remembers everything from high school." "I remember math." "I can help her with the math." "It's changed, Mom." "It's different now." "It's not the same math." "You know what?" "I can't even drink this..." "We got your back, sweetheart." "Yeah, really." "Take it easy." "...'cause I'm too nervous." "Okay." "Okay?" "I'm gonna do it." "Here I go." "Okay." "Make it happen." "Bye!" " Bye." "Good luck." " Good luck!" "Bye-bye." "Good luck!" "Okay, yeah, thank you." "I just need the keys and the wallet." "That's all." "Okay, love you." "Bye." "Alright, bug, you have a good day, all right?" "I'll see you tonight." "Mmm." "Love you." "Mmm." "Oh, love you!" "Mmm." "Excuse me." "Well, hello." "You're Sydney's mom." "Yes, I am." "And who are you?" "I'm Amy and I want to have a playdate with Sydney." "You do?" "Well, great." "How's tomorrow after school?" "Um, tomorrow?" "I don't see why not." "So, we're on?" "We're on." "Great." "I'm gonna beat you." "Hold on." "There you go." "There he is." "There he is." "Buddy, come here." "Oh, I'm so happy to see you." "Mmm." "I missed you." "Mmm." "Mmm." "Nice outfit." "Thank you. '80s, isn't it?" "Mmm." "Mmm." "I missed you." "I missed you, too." "I can't wait to talk to you in private." "I need to talk to you, too, in private." "Okay." "Okay." "Buddy, how come you smell so good?" "I took a bath." "You took a bath?" "You must've woke up so early to take a bath." "All right, just remember, this is an internship, so, expectations low." "What do you mean?" "Whose expectations?" "My expectations or their expectations of me?" "Yours and everybody's expectations, okay?" "This is a terrible pep talk." "You're going to do great." "I am not going to do great." "It's a bad mistake, dumb idea." "Sarah, listen to me." "You're going to do great, okay?" "I don't even know what I'm supposed to be doing great at." "Look, all you gotta do is go with the flow." "Just listen and learn." "That's it." "Listen and learn." "Yeah." "Okay." "I can do that." "Okay, after you." "Oh, thanks." "Yup." "Hey, everybody, good morning." "I'd like to introduce you to Sarah Braverman." "It's my sister, obviously." "She's the intern that I told you about." "This is Eddie." "He's the head of our design team." "He's going to introduce you to everybody and get you started." "Okay." "All right?" "Have a good day." "Thanks." "Hi." " Anyone ever heard of nepotism?" " 'Cause I sure have." "I'm just kidding, that's..." "Well, I'm not kidding, but anyway." " Thank you." " It's okay." "Here." "It's really hot, okay." "Okay, thanks." "Oh." "I don't know how it happened." "It was just a day like any other day and then the next thing I know we're getting divorced." "I'm sorry." "He says I'm obsessed with Noel." "I mean, of course I'm obsessed." "Who isn't obsessed?" "I mean, does he think that I want to spend every waking hour focusing on getting Noel through the day?" "Oh." "Anything Adam and I can do." "Oh, God." "I'm sorry." "And Noel doesn't know yet." "I can't figure out how to tell him, and neither can Phil." "And he's such a good dad." "I mean, he loves Noel so much." "And I'm so mad at him!" "Yeah." "What can I do to help you?" "Oh, God." "I want to help you." "I want to." "I don't know." "I have a meeting with Noel's teacher after school." "And then I have a board meeting after that." "Okay, why don't I pick him up?" "No." "No, it's..." "I'll pick Noel up, of course." "No." "Suze." "Let me." "I could drop him off, maybe." "Is that okay?" "Absolutely." "Oh, thank you so much." "One hundred percent." "It's okay." "I'm so sorry." "You want your tea?" "It's hot." "Yes." " It's too hot." " Nothing works." "Oh, God, I'm sorry." "I can cool it down." "Adam." "I haven't even been here that long and I'm doing so well." "It's like those lame brains didn't even know anything about shoes." "Hey, hey, hey, Sarah, Sarah." "'Cause I'm telling them a thing or two." "What?" "Hey." "I want you to meet Gordon Flint." "He's the founder and President of T and S Footwear." "This is my sister, Sarah." "Oh, my God." "You, uh, were saying?" "I'm..." "I have a terrible self-esteem and it causes me to overcompensate." "The design team is awesome, truly." "I know." "I hired them." "Yes, I'm sure you did." "They're so..." "Good." "Well done." "Okay." "I don't know why I came in here." "But, um, I am gonna..." "Oh, I wanted to say thank you so much for this opportunity to work here." "Yeah." "And thank you so much for signing off on me." "I didn't sign off on you yet." "Listen, I'm just kidding." "It's like a mini heart attack." "Okay." "Oh, um, well, I'm gonna..." "I'd better get back to work." "So..." "Bye." "Okay." "All right." "Hey." "It's nice meeting you." "Hey." "Oh, nice to meet you, too." "Hey." "Hey, you." "Hey, you." "Huh?" "Come here." "Look at that." "Hey." "It's coming right along." "Thank you." "Yes, indeed." "Hey." "Hi." "Ooh." "Getting a little warm there." "Hey, now, there are kids present." "Yes, indeed." "Hey, did you make a playdate for Sydney with Amy Gardener?" "No." "Amy G. Scheduled a playdate with me." "Yeah, okay." "We're going to have to cancel that." "Really?" "Why?" "Yeah." "Well, Amy G. Was mean to Isabel, who is Ashley's sister, and, uh, if Amy G. Has a playdate with Sydney, then it's just gonna be a whole thing where they actually fight" "and Ashley and Sydney, whoo, they are best friends." "Uh, I thought Harmony and Sydney were best friends." "Uh, a lot has changed over the summer." "And I can't believe that girl Amy would be mean to anyone." "Believe it." "Well Syd, you know what, she seemed like a really nice girl." "Maybe she messed up." "You want to give her a second shot and see how it goes?" "You might end up being friends." "Listen, Mom, Ashley is going to hate me." "And then I won't have any friends." "Please, Mommy, don't make me." " Please." " I told you." "Hi." "Make yourself at home." "You're out of mustard." "You need more." "Thanks for letting me know." "Hey, buddy." "Did you get enough to eat?" "You're out of mustard." "Do you want a bag?" "No." "Hi." "Honey, why is Noel Lessing in our house?" "Suze and Phil are getting separated." "What?" "Really?" "Yeah." "He doesn't know yet, so I offered to help." "Wow." "What are they planning on doing with him?" "I don't know, honey." "I have no idea." "She's a mess, a complete mess." "It's really sad." "Oh, how was your day with your new employee?" "Uh, it was actually good." "Uh, she met Gordon." "Gordon seemed to like her, so that's a relief." "Oh, wow, she already met Gordon." "Oh, she just walked into my office, but..." "She just walked in?" "That's kind of weird." "Well, I don't think she meant to." "No, she should knock, though." "What time is Suze coming to get Noel?" "I don't know." "I left a message on her cell phone." "I have no idea." "I'm not going to hound the woman." "She just dropped him off and didn't say what time she was gonna come back to get him?" "She just got separated." "I'm not gonna hound her." "Okay, well, where are the kids, because we have to get over to my mom and dad's for the Jasmine, Jabbar thing." "They're upstairs." "Hiding." "No, you don't get to eat potato chips in the car." "Why does he get to eat in the car and I don't?" "Why does he get to eat?" "Because Noel's parents let him eat chips in the car and I want him to feel at home." "No, that's not fair." "Why?" "Honey, it's okay." "Why don't I get to, then?" "They're my chips." "Max." "Well, it doesn't matter if they're your chips." "It's a rule." "Don't eat that." "Stop it." "Guys." "Honey." "I..." "That guy singing." "He can't." "Yeah?" "No!" "Stop." "It's Ray LaMontagne." "He's great." "He can't sing." "Uh, I'll turn him down." "Off would be better." "Off." "Stop eating." "I'm turning it off." "Stop eating." "I'm turning it off!" "I'm turning it off!" "Off!" "Adam, off." "It's off." "Stop." "No." "Stop eating them." "Stop." "Max." "What?" "Please." "It's okay." "Tell him to stop." "You're pretty." "Thank you." "Tell him to stop, Mom." "Have a chip, Max." "Okay, you guys ready?" "Cover your cards." "The first three are called the flop, okay?" "Now we're going to share these three cards." "Hey, you guys, it's the last one from the basement." "Ooh." "Okay?" "So slow down." "All right." "Hey, boss." "Please don't call me that, seriously." "Okay, chief." "Oh, God." "Can you pick me up tomorrow?" "Because the car is giving me trouble again." "Yeah, no." "No problem." "Be glad to." "Yeah?" "Yeah, save a tree, right?" "Okay." "Okay." "What?" " Mom, Mom, Mom." " What?" "Can you check this out?" "That's pretty." "Where'd we get those?" "Made it." "Ta-da." "No, you didn't." "Yes, she did." "You didn't make that." "Yeah." "No, you didn't." "She's a pretty good cook." "Please, don't be surprised." "I have abilities." "I am surprised." "We don't cook." "We're not cooking people." "That's because you don't know what you're doing." "Sweetie, sometimes talent skips a generation." "You have no..." "Wow, Nanny taught you." "Wow." "Hey, Mom." "Hi." "Wait." "Whoa." "Hey." "What is that?" "Uh, Grandpa and I are building a bird hatchery." "A what now?" "Bird hatchery." "Jeez, what..." "Hey, did you guys do your homework and everything?" "Sarah, your mother and I are all over the homework thing." "My gosh, we raised four kids, by golly." "Three of them turned out pretty good." "Mmm." "See ya." "Bird hatchery?" "Are you ready?" "Who's going to be the big winner?" "Excuse me, fellas." "Can I talk to you for a second?" "Wait, Crosby, we're not done with the hand yet." "Um, okay." "You can finish without me, all right?" "Okay." "You be the dealer." "Can I be in charge?" "Can I be in charge?" "You don't look at everyone's..." "Can I be in charge?" "You're in charge." "Yay." "It's a secret spot." "Where are we going?" "Come over here." "Mmm." "Mmm." "Mmm." "You're really into it." "Oh, yeah." "I used to bring girls back here when I was 14." "Mmm." "Listen." "What?" "This long-distance relationship thing is for the birds." "And I think I'm ready to move to New York to be with you guys, you know?" "No pressure." "I'll get my own place." "But I'll be close and I can help with Jabbar, and I think it'll be..." "What's that look?" "Well," "I've got something to tell you." "Okay." "I've been, uh, chosen to join the tour company." "The touring company for..." "The European tour?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Um, when?" "Now." "You're kidding." "For real?" "Now?" "Yeah, that's why I came back, because I'm going to have to leave Jabbar." "Jasmine, you just moved to New York." "I know." "I know." "And now you're going to Europe?" "And then what, China?" "Dance along the Great Wall?" "The moon?" "What's the..." "Crosby." "What about Jabbar?" "I'm thinking that he should stay out here, and he can live with my mom." "You think he should live with your mom?" "Yeah." "Why would he stay with your mom?" "He should stay with me." "Really?" "Yeah, he..." "I'm..." "I'm his dad." "He should stay with me." "It's a lot to take on, Crosby." "This is not a night or two." "It's four weeks." "Listen, don't do that." "It's already hard enough that you're going away, okay?" "It..." "It'll be fine." "I..." "I can do it, okay?" "He'll come stay with me." "We're going to have an amazing time." "We'll Skype you every night." "And then you can dance your way through Europe." "And it'll go quick." "Okay?" "Are you sure?" "Yeah, I promise." "But just, he's..." "He'll stay with me, though." "Okay?" "Sarah!" "Sarah!" "I know, I'm coming!" "I'm coming." "I'm coming." "I'm hurrying up." "Then come on." "Hi." "Here you go." "Hey." "Uh, you know, I actually pick up at Berkeley Coffee, so I don't need..." "Oh, well, today I saved you, like, $12." "That's my special blend coffee." "You're gonna love." "These I'm going to put on later." "Uh-huh." "They're gorgeous to look at, uncomfortable..." "What, are you planning on spending the night at the office?" "What is all this?" "No, look." "The kids made me lunch." "I think they actually miss me from being gone 24 hours a day." "So that's good." "That's really sweet." "Can you hold these so I can back out of here?" "Yeah, okay, one sec." "What is this we're listening to?" "This is Ray LaMontagne." "It's nice, but can we listen to it later?" "It's great, isn't it?" "Well, actually..." "'Cause I just wanted..." "I don't think I..." "Because..." "Can you just take these?" "Just put it there." "See, this is not going to work." "It doesn't..." "You know what?" "Fine." "Let's just go." "So, here's what I've been thinking." "Yeah." "I feel like the design team is not thinking big enough." "What are you talking about?" "Just not thinking modern enough and hip enough and" "I just want to keep brainstorming and..." "Sarah." "It's going to be fine." "What?" "No, no, no, no." "But listen, so what if it had a personalized aspect?" "Oh, my God!" "Aw." "It's strong, right?" "And, like, on those greeting cards where you can make your own recording." "I'm just saying let's think bigger..." "All right, you know what, Sarah, I have to stop at Berkeley Coffee." "Okay?" "Why?" "Mom..." "Got you." "Hi, Sydney's mom." "Hi, Amy." "I'm looking forward to this afternoon." "Yes, indeed." "Bye, honey." "See you." "Hi." "Hi." "So, I'm..." "Yes, Julia." "Sydney's Mom." "Hi." "Cynthia." "So nice to meet you." "Amy's really looking forward to this afternoon." "So I'm going to have to cancel the playdate for this afternoon." "Oh, why?" "Well, the situation with Isabel, I guess." "What situation?" "I don't know about any situation." "Oh, okay, so apparently there's some bad blood between Amy and Isabel." "And Isabel is Ashley's sister so..." "Bad blood?" "What are you talking about?" "Everybody loves Amy." "Oh, yeah." "Yeah, of course." "I mean, I know I do." "You know what, listen, I get it." "I'm so glad you understand." "I understand exactly." "Great." "Well, I'm glad we got the chance to..." "Hello, Adam's sister." "Hi." "Sarah." "Sarah, right." "Is that, uh, chocolate pudding?" "Yes, it is." "I will give you my entire personally-prepared by my nutritionist, gluten-free, vegan lunch for just one bite of that chocolate pudding." "No, thanks." "I'll give you a raise." "Really?" "No, but come on, please." "Have a heart." "Mmm." "Oh, it's so delicious." "You're not going to go there." "You know what I like about chocolate pudding?" "Everything." "You know what I love about tofu shaped like a burger and heavier than a brick?" "Nothing." "Nothing, precisely." "Oh, no." "Excellent for the colon." "You know what?" "You need this more than I do." "No." "Yeah." "Really?" "Take it." "This is not some kind of trick is it?" "Uh, I don't have another spoon." "That's okay." "I'll just use yours." "Really?" "You think that's going to stop me?" "I..." "You, my lady, are a kind and decent woman." "Mmm." "Wow." "You can't tell my nutritionist." "Here, have a little taste." "Mmm." "Seriously," "I don't want it." "I can't double dip." "Seriously, I can't either." "I just did." "No, no, no." "Hey, yo." "Hey." "Adam?" "Yeah?" "What's doing?" "Just grabbing my lunch." "Cool, come." "Join us." "Yeah, we've got pudding." "Pudding, really?" "Yeah." "You have enough pudding to go around?" "Excuse me, Adam." "Yeah?" "Phil Lessing's here to see you." "Phil is here?" "Yeah." "Do you want me to tell him..." "No, I'II..." "Who's Phil?" "Oh." "Uh, he's a friend." "Phil has an autistic kid, too." "And so the kids play together." "Phil's marriage is kind of falling apart." "So, Adam and Kristina have been watching Phil's kid..." "But he's a friend." "I'll take a rain check on that pudding." "More for me." "Um, you might want to do something about that lighter fluid there." "That's a great idea." "Stow that somewhere." "So, uh, where's Jabbar's room?" "Oh, it's just the one room." "It's pretty cozy." "Yeah, the tour's only for four weeks, Mom." "Well, I'm just curious." "Uh, where's the boy going to sleep?" "Well, in the past he's slept there." "Here?" "On this rickety chair?" "Well, it's a couch." "Um, it's more comfortable than it looks." "But I have been thinking about getting a sleeping bag maybe for me and then putting Jabbar on the full-size bed." "Trust me, Mom." "It's gonna be fine." "It's gonna be just fine." "Whatever you say, honey." "Just know that he's got a bed at my place if it doesn't work out." "Well, let's have some waffles." "Huh?" "Yeah." "So, how would you go about telling Max that you and Kristina were separating?" "Well, Phil, I don't think that Kristina and I would ever get..." "Neither did I, my friend." "Neither did I. And then, bam, it just happens." "Suze goes to sleep talking about Noel, and wakes up feeding him, spends all day driving around to the therapies." "And by the time she gets home at night, it's just..." "I love him." "Mmm-hmm." "I love him to death." "It's just that there is no us left." "Can I confide in you, Adam?" "Well, Phil, I think it might be best..." "Do you remember our pink cards from our index card system?" "Vaguely." "Our sex cards." "Mmm-hmm." "We used to call the pink ones our fornicards." "Yeah." "That was before they started piling up, unused." "Oh, really?" "Wow." "A lot of money in the shoe business, baby." "Hey, Phil, I'm gonna get you some peppermint tea, okay?" "That'll make you feel better." "Okay?" "Adam?" "Yeah?" "You're the best." "Hey." "Hey there." "You're going to be okay." "Okay?" "Let me just, uh..." "Let me just..." "I'm going to get your tea." "Okay, I'll be right back." "I'd prefer coffee." "Coffee?" "With a little cream." "Sugar?" "Okay." "A little sugar." "Hey?" "Yeah?" "Do you guys have an espresso machine?" "Yes, we do." "Espresso?" "Cappuccino." "Cappuccino." "Soy milk." "Wow, I never knew about the tantrums." "I know." "Well, most of the time Max is a really sweet kid." "It's just once in a while..." "It sounds pretty intense." "Yeah, it gets a little blown up." "Hey, yo." "Hi." "How's your buddy Phil?" "Uh, he's fine." "Divorce is tough." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Just, uh, making him a little cappuccino." "Nice." "Hey, you missed out, buddy." "Pudding and potato chips for lunch." "And you'd better not tell my nutritionist." "You promise." "That lady sounds too scary." "All right, I gotta get back to work." "My boss is going to be mad at me." "That's right." "Yeah." "Look out." "Both of them." "Look out." "Hey, thanks for sharing." "Of course." "Yeah, it was fun." "See ya." "Okay, see you, guys." "Your sister is awesome." "Awesome." " Matt?" " Yeah?" "Do you want to try one where the drums come in just a hair later?" "Yeah, let's do it." "All right, cool." "One, two, three, four." "I think I'm a genius." " Oh, my God." " Oh, hey." "Missed me?" "I did." "Couldn't stay away for a whole day?" "I couldn't." "Good band." "Right?" "They're really good." "What's going on?" "Well, just my mother bugging me." "Uh-huh." "Yeah." "Imagine that." "She thinks that, uh, Jabbar would be better off staying with her." "Oh, I'm so shocked to hear that." "Well, she's so obsessed about that boat." "Really?" "I didn't get that impression when she was over for waffles." "She doesn't like the boat?" "No, she does not like the boat." "Oh, my gosh." "And she's got this whole thing that, you know, like, he's stayed with her before long-term, and he's only stayed with you for like a night or two." "Mmm-hmm." "So, she's just..." "Then you reminded her that I was his father and that it wasn't really any of her concern." "Yeah, yeah, I did." "How do you feel?" "Me?" "Yeah." "I feel like it's something to discuss." "Meaning?" "Meaning I don't think my mother's completely wrong." "Right." "See, I'm asking you how you feel and you keep saying my mother this and my mother this." "I didn't have a kid with your mom." "Well, hey, hey, hey." "Okay," "I think that he'd be better off with her." "You know, I mean, he's got his own room there." "He's comfortable." "He's known his grandmother his whole life." "Yeah, well, I'm his dad." "And you'll see him every day, Crosby." "Oh, is that what you guys decided?" "That I can see him every day?" "You and your mom figured this out?" "I don't think, legally, you guys can just make all these decisions without asking me." "Whoa, no, no, no, no." "We're not going to go there." "No, it's an element in this." "No, it's not an element." "You can't just go decide what rights I have." "It's not." "This has nothing to do..." "No one's talking about your rights." "It has nothing to do with that." "I just want to do what's best for Jabbar." "That's all." "You think going to Europe for six weeks is what's best for Jabbar?" "What parenting magazine did that come from?" "First of all, get your facts right." "Okay." "It's four weeks, not six." "Oh, it's four weeks." "That's so much better." "Yeah, and I'm not going to Europe on some vacation, like I'm going to backpack through Europe and dump my kid over here." "Is that what I'm doing?" "Is that what I'm doing?" "Well, you're not going to cure cancer." "You know what, I'm not even..." "This is crazy." "Yeah." "You know what, actually, he's staying with my mother, so deal with it." "Well, we'll see what Julia thinks about that." "I don't care about what your sister has to say!" "Are you kidding me?" "You unleash your sister?" "Really?" "That's what you're going to take it to?" "No..." "See what I come back with." "Go get your sister." "I just meant..." "Gotta be kidding me." "I didn't mean..." "Hey, Crosby, how was that take, man?" "I gotta be honest, dude, I didn't hear that last take." "I'm sorry." "I mean, what would you do if someone was telling you they didn't want your son to live with you?" "Well, I don't think that I would ever find myself in that position." "Well, that sounds judgmental." "Where the hell have you been?" "I need input." "Hi." "I had a meeting." "What do you mean, you had a meeting?" "I mean, I don't know." "They just brought me along to the thing about the logo." "The logo meeting?" "Who cares about the logo?" "They're just updating it." "Listen, Jasmine's taking off for four weeks and she wants Jabbar to stay with her mom." "Can you believe this?" "Well..." "I mean, that's not right, is it?" "I mean, I should have a say in this, don't you think?" "Of course you should have a say." "Don't I have a right?" "I don't know what your rights are." "You should call Julia, I mean, just to know." "I think that's an excellent idea." "Let's call her." "By the way, it's tremendous that you two work together now." "It really saves me a lot of time." "That's good." "What was the meeting about the logo?" "Look, you're gonna call." "Pick up the phone." "All right, all right." "Call Julia." "I didn't mean to break up your relaxation period." " Oh, God." " I'm tired." "Put it on speakerphone." "Hi, Julia Braverman, please." "Put her on the video-conference." "Video-conference is awesome." "You guys have video-conference?" "'Cause you can see her come out of the computer and you can talk to her in the computer." "Like in Tron." "It's her brother, Adam." "Put her on." "Yeah, Dick Tracy, I don't know about Tron." "Guys." "No, I understand." "Thanks." "Okay, bye." "Uh, she's in a very important conference call and cannot be disturbed." "Oh, give me a break." "Well, that's pretty offensive." "The three of us?" "That's rude." "But listen, here's what you've got to do." "You've got to talk to Jasmine and you have to let her know that she doesn't have the right to make unilateral decisions about where and with whom Jabbar is going to live while she's away." "It's got to be a dialogue." ""Unilateral," I like that." "Mmm-hmm." "Yeah." "And then you've got to be ready to, you know, put your money where your mouth is and..." "What does that mean?" "What are you saying?" "I don't know, maybe get an apartment instead of having him on the boat..." "I can't do that between right now and tomorrow." "I didn't mean right now." "Are you saying you don't think..." "I mean, are you ready?" "I think you're capable." "What are you saying?" "She's just asking you if you think that's best for Jabbar." "I think that's the question you have to ask yourself." "Wait." "So, you don't think he should be with me either?" "That's not what we're saying." "That's not what..." "That's what you both..." "That's not what I'm saying." "I'm saying you should take some time to think about it." "I should take some time." "All right." "Somewhere else." "Because, believe it or not, this is actually a place of business and I have work to do." "I'll not get in the way of your work, with your leg up on the desk while I'm thinking." "I'm sure you can manage both things." " He's very tense." " All right, okay." "You sit there and think and I'll get back to work and find out just exactly what the hell is going on with the logo meeting." "See what I'm dealing with?" "He's so tense here, all day." "I've been reviewing a mental transcript of the conversation and in retrospect, I believe that my comments were not only appropriate, but they were entirely justified." "Julia, you essentially told this mom that her daughter has issues." "No, I did not." "You're twisting my words, Counselor." "Oh, no, please." "Not with the legal talk." "It freaks me out." "All right, babe," "I was just trying to help Sydney out of this whole playdate thing by being honest with the woman, and she goes and writes me this angry e-mail." "Well, what exactly did you say to her?" "I said nothing." "Nothing?" "Maybe I said something about there being bad blood between Amy G. And Isabel." "Bad..." "You said "bad blood"?" "What is it, The Godfather?" "That's what you told me." "Is that not the truth?" "Sweetheart, Amy G. 's mom is a powerhouse." "She's the President of the Parents' Association, so fix this or the whole mothers mafia will prevent our daughter ever having a playdate ever again." "Okay, how do I fix it?" "Uh, tell her you were wrong." "I'm not wrong." "I don't want to compromise my integrity." "Okay, well you can keep your integrity, and our daughter will end up bitter and lonely, if that's what you want." "These are 5-year-olds." "I can't believe their social politics are this complicated." "Welcome to my hell." "All right, pick me up tomorrow?" "Yeah." "Okay, thanks." "Bye." "Oh, hey, Sarah." "Wait." "You, uh, forgot your coffee mugs." "Thank you." "Okay, see ya." "Hey, you know, I was thinking, it actually might be better for us not to carpool anymore." "You really hate my coffee." "No, no, no." "No, it's just..." "It's..." "It's the only time of the day that I get to be by myself." "Nothing personal." "I understand." "No, that..." "I really do understand." "Okay." "All right." "Okay." "I'll meet you there tomorrow." "Thanks." "Bye." "Hey, uh, Sarah, if, uh..." "Also, I just want to ask you not to talk about Max or my personal life at work." "Yeah." "I didn't..." "I mean..." "I didn't mean to get into it." "You know, just Phil Lessing..." "I know, you don't have to explain." "Just don't do it." "I didn't know it was a secret." "It's not a secret, Sarah." "It's my personal life and I should be able to choose how and when I want to talk about it." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Okay." "If you have any other things you'd like to decide when and how you talk about them, just give me a heads up." "Just let me know." "Sarah, come on." "It's not something I should have to ask you for." "I didn't know you didn't want to talk about your kid." "Okay..." "You should just respect my privacy." "Oh, God, Adam." "All right?" "I'll see you tomorrow." "And I also don't think you should be spending quite so much time with Gordon." "What does that mean?" "Well..." "Sarah, I mean you had lunch with him for 77 minutes today." "Oh, my God." "You timed our lunch?" "I think he might be getting the wrong idea." "Getting the wrong idea?" "Adam, what are you talking about?" "You were just really chatty." "You were flirting with the guy." "I wasn't being chatty and flirty." "I have a personality." "I had pudding..." "Sarah, look, it's a different kind of workplace." "It's not a bar." "Oh!" "Don't say that to me!" "I know it's not a bar." "All right." "You don't have to tell me it's not a bar!" "I know how to conduct myself outside of a bar!" "Sarah, you're my little sister, okay." "This guy is a dog." "He's not a good guy to get involved with, okay?" "I know how to judge people by myself, for myself!" "I don't need your help!" "It's your second day on the job!" "I know what day it is!" "You shouldn't be hanging out for an hour and a half with the president of the company." "Seventy-seven minutes." "It was only 77 minutes." "I don't even understand this." "Sorry." "It just feels like you regret doing this at all." "Well, don't make me regret it." "Okay, I won't make you regret it." "I quit." "Okay?" "Well, okay." "It's not going to work, obviously." "That's a big surprise." "Quitting is definitely the answer." "So, you can send my $29 check or whatever you were paying me for this great internship in the mail." "Yeah." "Okay, quitter." "Okay?" "It's nothing new, you know." "I quit!" "Yeah." "There you go." "Be a quitter." "Great." "Are you ready?" "I think "star" is wrong here. "Star," the one across." "You're right, star is for sure wrong, 'cause..." "Hi, I'm home." "Right, look at three down." "Three down. "Cane." "He used a..." "Cane," right." "It's got to be "cane." I'm gonna go with "cane."" "I'm gonna lightly pencil it in." "Hi!" "I'm home." "Hey." "Hi." "Just a minute." "I'm serving." "Has anyone told you you're horrible?" "How are you guys doing?" "Did you..." "I feel like those backpacks haven't been opened." "Did anyone do anything?" "Huh?" "Hey, um, do you want me to help you start something for dinner, Mom?" "Damn it." "Oh, we ate already." " Oh." "Forty-four down." "Okay." "Did you order contact lenses, you know?" "I will, Mom." "I promise, please." "Give me one sec." "Well, "berretta" is right." "Hey, you know, people need to get things done, okay?" "And it can't just all be crossword puzzles and Pac-Man." "You have to actually do things, okay, and do your homework." "Okay?" "Pac-Man?" "Pac-Man." "Pac-Man." "Where did she..." "Where did she come up with Pac-Man?" "She doesn't get it, guys." "Whose serve is it?" "Yours." "Mine?" "I'm sorry." "I just had a really bad day." "Are you ready?" "Yeah." "I'm just..." "I'm gonna go kill myself." ""Hot tub."" "Nothing." "I'm not even here." "God, you know?" "You okay?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I'm just..." "Hiding?" "You want to be alone?" "No." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "All right, I'm getting in." "I like this." "Why is there a trampoline in our living room?" "Noel needs the stimulation." "Is there an end to it?" "To what?" "To Noel Lessing being in our house when I come home from work?" "Honey, I don't know what to say." "I mean, Suze's in a lot of pain." "And I've tried to say no, but I can't." "It's just not in me and I'm sorry." "Big heart." "Mmm." "Bigger than mine." "I don't know about that." "You hired your sister." "That's something I wouldn't do." "She quit." "She quit?" "Why?" "Because I criticized her for having a two-hour lunch with Gordon and then talking to him about Max." "Maybe that's better, then, she quit, you know?" "Well, I don't know." "I just..." "You know." "Maybe I shouldn't have hired Sarah." "I did it 'cause I was feeling guilty." "Honey, she is your sister." "It's okay." "You know, you were just being you." "Just kind and compassionate and generous and..." "Stupid." "No." "I was going to say sexy." "We should make out." "Mmm." "Want to?" "Kristina!" "Hey!" "Hi." "Hey." "Noel was wondering if you have any more of the pasta salad." "Yeah, yeah." "Let me get it." "Oh, no, you know, I can get it myself." "Um..." "No, it's fine." "No, it's fine." "I can get it." "Where..." "Just tell me where it is." "Um, it's on the second shelf, next to the mayo, behind the pickles." " Hey, Suze." " What's going on in here?" "Hi, guys." "You know what, get a room." "Oh." "For reals." "Okay." "Oh, honey." "God, that kid is a bottomless pit." "You got to break it up with a little soil..." "The roots, and then you just want to pack it in." "Daddy!" "Hey, buddy." "You gardening?" "Yeah." "Hello, Crosby." "Hi, Renee." "How are ya?" "Good." "Good." "Jabbar, let's go get some lemonade." "Yeah." "Lemonade." "So, I've thought about it and I really want Jabbar to stay with me," "but I can see how it's probably better for him here till I get an apartment or something, at least." "Thank you." "But I'm worried you..." "You're pulling away." "This feels like something I've done to people." "Are you pulling away from me?" "No, I'm not pulling away from you." "You sure?" "Yeah." "You're really cute." "It's the motorcycle." "Is it?" "Yeah, I'm just a six, but with the motorcycle, I'm an eight." "I want that." "Mmm." "Mmm." "So, you told Amy G.'s mom that Amy P. Was actually the problem." "I just talked to Amy P.'s mom and she was, um, not happy." "Give it time." "It'll blow over." "Yeah?" "Mmm." "Yeah." "And besides, there are three Amys, right?" "So, we can blame it on the other one." "Mmm." "What happens when we run out of Amys?" "You will think of something." "You said that so seductively." "Clever girl." "Can I come in?" "Of course." "Um, listen, I'm sorry." "I overreacted." "Okay, so, I apologize." "That's okay." "I overreacted, too." "It's okay." "It's really not okay because things have not been great at work, as you know, and I took it out on you." "It's just, I feel all this pressure at work because of Gordon, and I just..." "If he knew how much time I spent thinking about Max and Asperger's and Kristina, Haddie, Mom, Dad, you, Jabbar, Crosby, all of that, you know, he would probably fire me." "He's not going to fire you." "He likes you." "You're indispensable to him." "Did he say that to you?" "Well, he implied it in 77 minutes." "Yeah, well, nobody's indispensable." "Not these days." "Not in this economy." "So..." "Adam, you're too hard on yourself." "Relax." "Don't worry." "You do such a good job." "All right." "So, come on." "You're not really quitting." "So, let's go." " Yes, I am quitting." " I don't want to make things harder for you." "Sarah, listen to me." "Okay?" "Look at me." "I want you there." "Okay?" "What?" "I do." "I really do." "I want you there." "You don't really believe that." "You couldn't even really say it." "I'm working on it." "So, come on." "Will you get dressed, and let's go to work." "Really?" "Yeah." "Come on." "This is such a good idea." "You will not regret it, because I was just getting started." "I mean, I was just getting in a groove, you know." "And, um, listen, I won't do any of the stuff that was bugging you, okay." "I won't talk about your personal life." "Oh, okay." "But you're going to have to take me to work every day this week, because the car is in the shop." "And can we play some different music?" "Hey, that's Ray LaMontagne, okay." "The man's a genius." "That's what we listen to in my car." "Okay, he might..." "Like can't we have a little, like, you know, something snappier?" "You know what, get dressed." "Okay, we're late." "Come on." "Okay, I'm hurrying." "I'm hurrying." "God." "You're the best!" "I gave you the pediatrician's number, right, Mom?" "Yes, you did." "I did?" "Okay, buddy, we're going to talk every day, twice a day, okay?" "Why can't I come?" "You can't come, honey." "You have to stay here with your grandma and your dad." "Give me a hug." "I love you." " Last call." "  Now boarding all sections, all rows..." "I gotta go." "I gotta go." "It's okay." "We'll be fine." "Go shine." "Have fun." "You want to get some waffles on the way home, or you want to wait till we get home?" "Both." "Hello!" "I'm home." "Yes!" "Davis one for two on the day." "Career is, of course, 9 for 22." "Number 409, he has Jackson's number." "And he takes a fastball up and away outside for ball number one." "And Max's solo." "Hey, Noel." "And Noel's solo." "Want some pasta salad, maybe?" "Oh, you know what?" "Your mom said you had a great Russian accent." "And cut it off." " Yeah, yeah." " Yes, I can." "How come you don't have to eat your string beans?" " These?" " I don't want to." "Why doesn't he have to eat his string beans?" "Well, because Noel is our guest." "Hey." "Hi." "I thought you said Dad wasn't coming." "Scooch over, would you?" "Yeah." "Hi, Adam." "Hi, Adam."
