"I have to go through the toy-con account, and mark wants me to look over security camera footage of Pepper weighing the beans." "Have you eaten yet?" "Great." "I'll just do it." "Mm." "This is so like Chloe, leaving you here eating chocolate for dinner." "Sorry." "I shouldn't disparage your guardian in front of you." "Relax." "I left my last home when "20/20" broke down the door" "To do an expose." "This is like a slumber party." "I am so sorry." "I think I saw that episode." "(door opens)" "Ah. (sighs) I'm home." "Oh, Molly, did you intend to book me at a hotel with the scratchiest towels in Seattle, or was that a coincidence?" "I-I'm sorry. (chuckles)" "Hey, you're home!"

"I said we were lesbian co-parents." "Come on, June, you moved in the first day we met." "I bagged me quite the trophy." "Oh!" "(door closes)" "Of course I had to say we were lesbian lover co-parents." "They never would have given a kid to a single mom who doesn't have an "official job."" "How did you make me a co-parent with me knowing?" "!" "Don't you remember When that social worker came by the house to see if we were fit parents?" "You mean that woman that came to interview us for that apartment blog?" "And over here is our bookshelf made of reclaimed wood..." "Ah." "And this over here is our reading nook." "(chuckles)" "We're in between cats at the moment." "That's why there's no fur." "Mm." "So that paper that I signed was not a photo release?" "That was you getting a foster kid." "That was the moment you got a kid." " Anyway, it's a moot point." " What do you mean?" "Well, now that my busy season's over," "I don't need the extra help." "Plus, she wasn't a great assistant." "I mean, every day between 9:00 and 3:00," "I could not get ahold of her." "Ohh." "She was at school." "You cannot fire your daughter." "Lord knows this is not the best time for me" "With my job and my internship," "But we have a responsibility to Molly..." "Hi." "We were just talking." "We're not fighting." "Is... is everything okay?" "Do you need anything?" "I-I need someone to make me a costume." "I'm playing the dragon in "Flower drum song.""

(sighs) (chuckles)" "(horns honk in distance)" "(whispers) what time is it?" "Oh." "(lowered voice) uh, joyce. (chuckles)" " What?" " Um... (chuckles)" "I-I was wondering if, uh..." "I can't hear you." "Um, uh, I-I hate to..." "I hate to do this, but I-I actually..." " Can you hear her?" "No, joyce." "You see?" "She can't hear you either." "Neither michelle nor I can hear you." "(normal voice) I hate to do this," "But I have something I need to go do at 4:00." "My daughter's in a play." "Daughter?" "You never mentioned you had a kid." "Okay." "Uh, well, my roommate unwittingly signed me up for a foster child, and she has a play, and I don't want her to look out and see an empty chair." "Your roommate unwittingly signed you up for a foster child," "And she has a play, and you don't want her" "To just look out there and see an empty chair?" "June, June, June, June, June," "June, June, June, June." "June." "(doorbell rings)" "Kiernan, hey." "Come on in." "Thank you so much for coming." "Can I get you something to drink?" "I don't really have any kid drinks," "But, uh, I-I could just give you some coffee." "You could sip it through a straw." "Sure." "Thanks." "I heard, uh, Jon Hamm's really good at basketball." "Is that true?" "Is January Jones a robot?" "Can I have your boots?" "Chloe, Kiernan is here so that we can work." "Fine." "Guess I'll just read a script or something." ""Check, please!"" "That sounds fun." "All right." "Have a seat." "So my agent called and said you wanted to hang out and study me?" "Yeah." "Yeah, since we're, uh, you know," "We're swapping bodies in the movie," "I just figured, uh, I should, you know, kinda get inside your head and, you know," "See where you're coming from, get my tween on." " Don't say that." " No?" "Well, I-I heard it a lot at the Kids' Choice Awards." "I got slimed in '04." "(chuckles) That's so long ago." "Guys, listen to this." "Alex and jane are really nervous because the food critic is coming to their restaurant on opening night." "Then Javier accidentally deep-fries a pair of glasses," "And they say, "Javier, you need to be more responsible."" "That's exactly what June said to me!" "I'm Javier, and Molly is the glasses!" "Don't mind Chloe." "She's totes cray-cray." "Don't say that either." "When June said it, I thought it was the dumbest thing I'd ever heard, but somehow, reading it In this television script by..." "These three jews, It suddenly hit home." "Sometimes, things don't click" "Until Hollywood really spells them out for you." " Ahem." " Ahem." " Stop it." " Stop it." " No, seriously." " No, seriously." "(sighs) (sighs)" "(indistinct conversations, espresso machine gurgles)" "Okay." "Vanilla latte." "That'll be $3.50." "Miss, please don't pour your coffee into the trash hole." "I asked "room for cream?" for this very reason." "Pepper, can I have a little help up here?" "I'm swamped." "No!" "(chuckles)" "Pepper is not handling cash or coffee anymore, June." "You know that." "So is your daughter gonna be here all day?" "Because there's kind of a policy... (sighs) against employees bringing kids to work." "(sighs) I'm so sorry." "I just..." "I couldn't find a sitter." "Hey, Robin." "Can you please babysit for me?" "No." "Busy." "Don't worry." "She won't get in the way. (mouths words)" "Can you take off parental controls?" " No." " Can I buy "tiny wings"?" "No." "(bells jingling)" " June." " Oh!" "Look who's here." "(door closes)" "First you flaked on molly's play, and then I ask you to take her to jazz class, and you said you would, and you did not." "Look, I thought about what you said, and I don't just exist in a vacuum," "And I really need to take responsibility for my own actions." "Well, I... th..." "I mean, that... that's great." "I'm..." "I'm really glad that you feel that way." "Okay, so molly needs new kneepads for her floor routine, so I'm gonna need," "Um, I'm gonna need a check for half of that." "No." "I can't do it." "I don't want to." "You!" "You!" "You have not changed at all." "It's one thing to realize that you're a parent philosophically," "But it's another thing to be a parent." "You need to commit to this." "You are either in or you are out, Chloe." "Oh." "Then I am out." "I didn't realize I had a choice." "Thanks." "(cell phone rings) you... (bells jingling, beeps)" "Hello?" "Hi." "Hi, Joyce." "Hi." "I'm so sorry I forgot to e-mail you those toy-con documents." "I'm still at work..." "What?" "No." "No!" "Look, okay, look, I know I have a kid," "But I can do this job just as... just as well" "As any other employee." "No, I-I didn't know that michelle had an inhospitable womb, but you know what?" "I-I don't think it's fair that you reward her for that." "Ma'am!" "Ma'am, please don't pour that coffee down the hole." "Where do you think the liquid goes?" "Joyce?" "J..." "(whispers) crap!" "(beeps)" "Is chloe mad at me?" "Because I asked her if she wanted to roll calls, and she said I'm not her assistant anymore." "Honey, no." "You're not her assistant anymore." "You're our... well..." "(chuckles) you're my child," "And you know what?" "You and I are gonna be just fine." "(sighs) That's too bad," "Because working for chloe was fun, and you're kinda lame." "You have a lot of rules." "Lame?" "You think I'm lame?" "After everything I've done for you?" "(chuckles)" "I mean, I spent 19 hours..." "(chuckles)" "Sewing you a dragon costume, and, you know," "Sewing you a dragon costume, and, you know," "To go to your play." "(raised voice) I work two jobs to give you a life," "And no one cares..." "Not you, not Chloe, not Joyce, not Lucky, Lucky, sterile Michelle!" "Would it kill anyone to say thank you," "To look over at me and say," ""June, hey, we see you, we see you, and thank you"?" "!" "Your breath smells when you yell." "Your breath smells when you yell!" "(screaming) Your breath smells when you yell!" "Your breath smells when you yell!" "Oh, my god." "She's shaking her baby." "You sucked in "Flower drum song"!" "You're killing your mother!" "Why?" "!" "(gasps, panting)" " Oh, what happened?" " Shh." "Shh." "You blacked out." "You're overworked." "You took on too much." "Did I shake our baby?" "Yeah." "Yeah, you did." " Oh, my God." "Is she okay?" " Don't worry." "I took care of it." "I used the it's just beans security footage of you shaking Molly to prove to child services that you're an unfit mother." "You'll never be able to lead a girl scout troop or sponsor a hungry child." "Oh, God." "My baby." "Don't worry." "She's going on to a good, stable home." "I used my connections and hooked her up with the ambassador to Morocco and his wife." "They've been trying to adopt for years." "Everyone who's ever worked on my desk goes on to bigger and better things." "Wow." "For once, you cleaned up your own mess." "Yeah, well, after I saw you freaking out at the coffee shop," "I realized it was because of something I had done, and I do need to take responsibility for my own actions." "I guess you needed more responsibility, and I needed less." "I thought I could handle it, but I guess I can't." "(chuckles)" "Remember when I thought I could take care of a plant?" "Ha!" "(laughing) I couldn't even take care of a kid." "What am I gonna do with a plant?" "(laughs)" "Ah." "Molly." "She really is gone." "It's so quiet." "Hmm." "(sniffs)" "(door closes)" "You embarrassed me in front of Jenkins" "At the business meeting today." "Oh, you're embarrassed?" "You got my period during cheerleader tryouts." "I can never show my face at school again!" "Do you think this is easy for me?" "Do you think I like having to sit while I pee?" "!" "Do you think I like having to make out with mommy?" "!" "(sighs) Oh, my God." "Cut!" "This is a disaster!" "(buzzer)" "(crew speaking indistinctly) what?" "Well, I-I thought that was working pretty well." "How... how'd that feel for you?" "Ohh." "This is a train wreck." "I-I thought that was some of my best work ever." "I mean..." "Hey, whoa, whoa." "I'm still working on that, a-actually."
