"I want you to meet Gordon Flint." "This is my sister, Sarah." "Nice meeting you." "Nice to meet you, too." "GORDON:" "Your sister is awesome." "I don't think you should be spending quite so much time with Gordon." "I love being a wife, but I feel like I got swallowed up somewhere." "I hear you and I see you." "Wow, is that the marriage counseling?" "I miss you." "Is everything okay?" "CROSBY:" "Yeah." "You all right?" "No, it's great." "Really?" "Everything's hunky-dory." "Hello." "Oh, my God!" "What..." "Mommy's home." "Hey!" "Hey!" "What are you doing here?" "(SYDNEY SCREAMING)" "SYDNEY:" "Mommy!" "Daddy!" "Syd!" "Sydney!" "(SCREAMING CONTINUES)" "Syd!" "Sydney!" "Syd, what is it?" "What is it?" "I had a bad dream." "Oh." "Baby, what happened?" "Bad dream." "Yeah?" "Well, tell me what happened in the dream." "(PANTING) I was on this deck and the water was all green." "Yeah?" "And I fell in." "And I tried to swim to get up but something kept pulling me down." "Oh, my gosh." "That sounds awful." "That sounds terrible." "(WHIMPERING) Can I sleep in your bed?" "Uh..." "Uh..." "You know what, maybe we should just get some water and come back here and calm down and tuck you in." "Please?" "No, I'm too scared." "It's really safe here." "Um..." "Please, Mommy?" "Okay, just for tonight." "Okay?" "I'm so scared." "Just one night." "Just one night." "Just one night." "Okay." "All right." "Okay, let's go." "Okay." "Okay." "Here we go." "Why don't you and Daddy have any clothes on?" "Uh..." "That was a high quality sleepover." "(BOTH LAUGHING)" "Yeah, it was." "It was." "It was." "Really top notch." "We should do that more often." "We should." "But now, I've got to go get Jabbar from my mom's." "I got a million things to do, like get him in school." "Uh-huh." "It's kindergarten, though." "They're going to play with blocks, right?" "(SCOFFS) Yeah, it's not your mom's kindergarten." "Those kids are reading already." "And the longer we wait, the more the other kids will form bonds without..." "Well, what about your mom's district?" "Didn't you say that was decent?" "Yeah, decent is not the word you use to describe your kid's school." "Okay." "I'm just saying we got a backup plan." "It's a possibility." "What is all this?" "What?" "I..." "Come back here." "What are you..." "I just..." "It's so warm in here, and then you're out there, it doesn't make any sense." "I got so much to do." "I mean, I have to find a place to live." "I still need to get back to New York and pack up the apartment at some point." "And I need to figure out what I'm doing for a living, now that I'm not touring." "All right." "Well, one panic attack at a time." "Hey, what..." "What about Sydney's school?" "Sycamore Charter?" "Yeah, they love it." "Yeah, they love it." "It's an amazing school." "But they never have openings and there's always a waiting list." "Well, I'll talk to my sister." "Okay." "Hey, hey, listen, listen." "Come here." "Sit down." "Jabbar is going to get into a great school." "I promise." "I mean, come on, this is the biggest retail sports convention ever." "It's going to be huge." "Yeah, and we need to sell some shoes there this year." "Oh, come on, the new line is too hot." "And the work you did, the work you did on the display, it's unbelievable, plain and simple." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Listen, I think it's a good idea for me to go to the convention this year, given what's been going on." "I feel very strongly." "That's what I love about you, Adam." "You always offer, every year." "But you know I need you back here running the shop." "Yeah." "How do I look?" "You look great." "Okay, let's go, people!" "Let's go!" "Here we go with the 2011 spring shoe show!" "(ALL CHEERING)" "All right!" "All right!" "Thank you." "Thank you, thank you." "First of all, I'd like to announce who will be joining me this year, at the convention to run the booth." "Adam and I have spoken and we both think, we both agree, actually that this person best exemplifies everything that T and S Footwear stands for." "So, the moment you've all been waiting for." "Let's give it up for" "Sarah Braverman." "What?" "Oh, my God." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Wow." "Hey, you know what, honey?" "KRISTINA:" "Hmm?" "I'm not going to let it bother me." "Okay." "I'm going to be happy for Sarah." "She's going to do great at the retail show." "Mmm-hmm." "I'm going to let it go." "That's great." "I'm letting it go." "Let it go." "I'm letting it go..." "Can you move over, a little bit?" "Watch out." "Watch out." "Can I finish brushing my teeth, please?" "You go." "You go." "She gets to go to the trade show?" "She's only an intern, right?" "That's great." "Yeah, but you know what, like I said, letting it go." "That's awesome if it doesn't bother you." "You're so secure with yourself." "Yeah." "Have you thought about what I talked to you about the other night?" "Yeah." "And?" "I'm not going." "Come on." "No." "It's not going to kill you to go." "Well, there I have to disagree with you, because going to an Asperger's support group with the Lessings might actually kill me." "Okay, that's really mean." "I'm just being honest, okay?" "Okay." "I'll go by myself." "I'll just go and maybe make some friends, hold their hand, because my husband won't be there, sit with Suze and Phil." "Honey, thank you." "Maybe grab a snack..." "I'm not going by myself!" "Well, you know what, honey?" "I'm going to use the other bathroom." "I'm not going." "(SCOFFS) Adam!" "You're just kidding, right?" "(SHAVER WHIRRING)" "I'll tell Phil that you said hello." "Never in my whole life would I choose just one" "You got it." "I've always loved the moonlight" "And I've always loved the sun" "And then it goes." "The last part, and then it goes." "(HUMMING)" "(BOTH HUMMING)" "(BOTH WHOOPING)" "Yes, a video!" "Dude, you have an amazing voice." "Thanks." "No, seriously." "I'm not going to lie." "I think we should maybe start a band." "Why don't you come over tonight and bring your bass and we'II, like, try to..." "Okay, yeah." "Oh, wait, we have Howard today." "Oh, yes." "Howard." "We can hang out with Howard, like do a little studying, maybe smoke a little weed and then play some music." "Dude, we're not going to smoke weed during our tutoring session." "It's organic." "Oh, it's organic." "Sycamore's a very good school." "Uh-huh." "And it was not easy for me to get Sydney into this school." "Uh-huh." "Don't bring any unnecessary drama." "They don't need to know, the whole, "I didn't know I had a son..."" "Okay." ""And then I decided to start dating his mother after I found out"" "and whatever." "You and Jasmine aren't married." "You don't even live together." "It's kind of..." "It just..." "It just comes off a little flaky." "Okay." "You need to come off as stable." "Okay, I will be stable." "Great." "Thank you." "I'll be stable." "Okay." "You got it." "Okay." "Okay, good." "Okay." "Cool." "Now?" "Yeah." "Class already started." "I got to get him in kindergarten." "Don't say I didn't warn you." "Would you connect me to Sycamore Charter?" "Thank you." "If I can come in after 5:00 there's a great happy hour with free nachos." "I could have a couple cocktails before." "I would say change your hat." "Just saying." "Oh, my goodness." "You don't like my duck-hunting look?" "Do you guys know how to play this?" "Yes." "I win every single time." "That's because you cheat." "There's nothing greater than seeing her little face sleeping and breathing." "Really?" "She's just sleeping in right with you?" "Every night?" "Not every night." "And it's unbelievable..." "It's every night." "It's luscious." "I want to inhale her." "I'm just worried about rolling over and crushing andlor killing our daughter." "Exactly." "The whole concept, it's very weird." "Crosby slept with us until he was 13 and he turned out all right." "Is that true?" "So, if you want one of these, you know how to get one." "Is Kristina coming late or what?" "Uh, no, she's at a support group for parents with kids who have Asperger's." "In a support group?" "Really?" "Good for her." "(ALL CHATTERING)" "Which reminds me, actually before I forget, guys, I need your help for something." "SARAH:" "Yeah?" "Well, we need suggestions." "Your father and I are supposed to find an activity to do together." "You know, something fun." "A fun activity?" "Yes." "Our therapist suggested that we do something intimate." "Okay, we don't want to help you with that." "No, no, no, no." "Not intimate." "No, interactive." "Oh!" "Interactive?" "That's different." "Oh, my God, you know what?" "The Monster Truck Rally's at the fair this weekend." "HADDIE:" "Cool." "That's real interactive." "A guy's going to wrestle a Jaguar after the main event." "Wow!" "(ALL LAUGHING)" "That sounds like that's right up Mom's alley." "Well, they've got those sausages and the onions that I love." "JULIA:" "Yeah, I'll go to that with you." "JOEL:" "I'm in." "What if you guys go over the bridge to San Francisco and like walk around" "Fort Point, and walk by the ocean and just talk." "HADDIE:" "That's nice." "JULIA:" "That does sound nice." "Or just go to the movies." "And you know," "Kristina was just saying she wanted to see a movie." "What was that?" "I don't know." "We haven't seen a movie in, like, 10 years." "What about, like, ballroom dancing?" "JOEL:" "Ooh." "Yeah, that could be nice." "Ballroom dancing!" "That'd be fun." "You could dress up all special and kind of fancy." "I think it's, you know, it's an idea." "Yeah, I could see you guys doing it." "You know, we could try it." "You know, if we don't like it, then we can always stop." "I mean, you know, we don't have to keep doing it." "You know it's funny, I always wanted to do that." "HADDIE:" "Really?" "Yeah, well, in the back of my mind, it was always something I thought I'd do someday." "Hey, Millie?" "(CHATTERING STOPS)" "I would love to dance with you." "Is this guy charming or what?" "(ALL CHATTERING)" "If you don't dance with him, I'm going to." "(ALL LAUGHING)" "(ALL EXCLAIMING)" "(ALL CHATTERING)" "CROSBY:" "The fox is in the hen house." "I..." "I'm a mom, obviously." "I have a child with Asperger's, like you all." "And just doing the best that I can, getting through things, life." "Doing what we do, all of us." "That's what I have to say." "That's it." "What's your child's name, Kristina?" "Max." "Max." "How old is Max?" "Max is nine." "And how long have you known that Max has Asperger's?" "(SIGHING) About a year, officially." "Probably about a year." "There were signs before, you know, he..." "He was having trouble in school like a lot of kids do." "Tantrums." "You know, just behavioral things." "But he was fine." "He's fine." "And just trying to figure it out." "So, I'm just going to..." "Can I listen for a little bit?" "Sure." "Thank you for sharing." "I'm okay." "I'm okay." "Thank you." "I..." "I cried in McDonald's today." "Melanie, tell us about it." "Uh..." "I've been so stressed out being at home with Anthony, my six-year-old with Asperger's, all the time." "I mean, my husband leaves for work at 7:00 in the morning and sometimes, I don't see him again until 9:00." "So, it's just me and Anthony, all day." "And don't get me wrong, I love my son to pieces." "But it's a little like living on an island all day, with these weird rules that don't apply to other people." "You know, thinking..." "Thinking all the time," ""Is this going to set him off?" "" "What's that noise?"" ""Should I drive home a different way to avoid the barking dog?"" "Always living with that, that pressure, always." "So much that it feels like you can't breathe sometimes." "You know what I mean?" "Okay, here we go, last one, who is this lovely man?" "Uh..." "Aust..." "Austin Winburn." "Winberburn." "Austin Winberburn." "Yes, Winberburn." "Okay, and he's a big supplier to the Shoe Shack." "No." "No, not right." "What're they called?" "Step..." "Sharp, Step Sharp!" "Yes." "Correct." "And they are interested in athletic shoes for women, so we're going to really push running shoes." "Okay, that's good, but what are his hobbies?" "His hobbies are..." "Windsurfing, windsailing?" "No." "Come on." "You're on the parasail, you're..." "Waterskiing." "Waterskiing and (SIGHS) oh, the craps table at Caesar's." "Okay, that's about it." "That's the last one." "Is it?" "I think that's probably as good as it's going to get." "Okay." "That's not bad." "Great." "How do you know all this?" "Huh?" "This is what you learn from Facebook." "It's very creepy that you're knowing about his waterskiing." "Well, that's the job, you know, I'm just trying to do a good job." "Oh, yeah." "I need $40." "What did..." "Why?" "For tutoring." "Again?" "Yeah, it's time." "That's the second time this week, that you needed $40 for tutoring with Howard." "Well, I'm sorry, but what do you want me to say?" "I need it." "That's what you're, you know, using it for?" "Is that a joke?" "You and Kelsey, no, I'm just..." "Tell me that's a big joke." "I just am wondering, Amber." "Really, you're suspicious." "It's sort of too good to be true." "Of course, yeah." "Okay, you caught me, Mom." "I'm gonna go buy some drugs and, you know, whatever else you don't want me to do." "Just God forbid I do something right ever in my whole life." "Hey, that's not what I meant, I'm sorry." "Can we not afford this?" "I'm serious." "I don't want to stress you out." "Because if we can't afford it, it's, like, fine." "I can study it on my own." "It's your education." "It's important, take it." "Thanks." "You're the best." "I know." "Okay." "See you soon." "Thanks." "Thanks." "Winberburn, Winberburn." "Winberburn." "(SLOW SONG PLAYING)" "All right, ladies and gentlemen." "Here we go." "Five, six, seven, eight, slow." "Quick, quick, slow." "Keep your chins up." "Keep your shoulders back." "Tuck your rump in." "You're not a butcher." "Good, good." "See, what'd I tell you, Millie." "Come on." "Well, excuse me." "I didn't think we were auditioning for So You Think You Can Dance, our first lesson." "Okay, just relax." "(GRUNTING)" "Oh, your foot isn't supposed to be there." "Honey, it's connected to my ankle." "That's where it goes." "Come on." "You're supposed to step back." "Sweetheart, just..." "Millie, just take it easy." "Go with the flow." "Deep breath, here we go." "Come on." "Ready?" "That a girl." "All right, rotate partners." "Here we go." "Ladies, rotate to the right." "Pick up your frame." "Here we go." "And five, six, seven, eight, slow." "Well, I guess it's you and me, right?" "Mmm-hmm." "Okay, I want you to know that I'm okay with the gays." "All right?" "Good to know..." "Zeek." "And, Tony." "Mmm-hmm." "Let's get something straight between us, um, so to speak." "I'll be leading." "You're the boss, Zeek." "Okay." "Hmm." "Well, this isn't your first class, is it?" "Nope." "Oh." "Very nice." "Hey, Millie, look at Tony." "I mean, gosh, he's so responsive, huh?" "Moves like a dream, doesn't he?" "Very nice, yeah." "Very coordinated." "Do you dip?" "Oh, yeah." "JAKE:" "Nicely done." "(ALL APPLAUDING)" "(DOOR OPENING)" "SYDNEY:" "Mommy, I had another nightmare." "(SIGHING)" "Hey." "Hey." "Come back to bed." "She has to get out of that bed." "That's a little intense." "I feel intense." "Okay, she can sleep on my side of the bed." "No, sweetheart, it's not about which side she sleeps on." "It's about..." "It's about me being a parent." "You go to work, and I'm a parent all day, you know?" "Yeah." "And then you get home and it's all about our girl, which it should be." "And I love it." "But at night..." "It's the only time that I don't have to be a parent." "I can just be Joel with my wife." "And I need that." "I'm sorry." "I want to be with you too." "But I do go to work in the morning, and I work all day and I miss her so much while I'm there, and, you know, I love my job, but she's grown up so fast." "I don't want to miss it all." "Sometimes that's the only time I get to be a parent." "SYDNEY:" "Mommy, come back!" "I need you!" "(SIGHING)" "Honey?" "Yeah?" "Can I talk to you about something that's probably gonna annoy you?" "Please, by all means." "That support group isn't as scary as it sounds." "I think it's helpful." "(SIGHING) All right, Kristina." "And it could be helpful to you." "Let me explain something to you." "I don't think that it's scary." "I think it's stupid." "(SIGHING)" "And you know what, I have you." "Mmm-hmm." "We have each other." "I could talk about anything with you." "And that's enough for me." "Okay." "You'll be my group." "(LAUGHS)" "I love you." "I love you." "Goodnight." "Goodnight." "(SIGHS)" "I'm gonna keep going, though." "Fine, I think you should." "Okay." "(PEOPLE CHATTERING)" "Oh, thank you." "That's me." "(SIGHS)" "Ready?" "(GASPS) Oh, God." "Thanks." "I mean, hi." "Yes." "Let's go." "Okay." "I can't believe it." "This thing keeps getting bigger and bigger every year." "Okay, so how long have you guys been doing this?" "Well, we've been dragging our asses there for eight weeks now, at 150 bucks a session." "Yeah." "Yeah, see, Adam, these are..." "These are too tight in here." "I don't think they're made right." "Yeah, they're not made right." "Dad, you have a wide foot." "I've told you that." "Adam." "They pinch." "Here." "All right." "I'll tell you what, let's try another shoe." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "All right, just toss that in there." "So what do you do there?" "You just talk?" "Share?" "Hell if I know." "I know the only thing I'm doing differently is I'm dancing with Gay Tony." "Oh, you ought to see this guy move, Adam." "He's like a finely tuned European sports car." "He's very sensitive and he just responds to the slightest touch." "Honestly, it's amazing." "That's great." "Hey, Son, I..." "You know." "Yeah?" "I don't go to therapy for..." "For me." "What am I gonna get out of it?" "I hate going." "Yeah." "I'm going because it means something to your mom, all right." "That's why I'm going." "Hi, there, I'm Sarah Braverman." "I'm the T and S rep this year." "Nice to see you." "Sarah Braverman, T and S rep this year." "You know Mr. Flint." "That's Bob Ingomar from Cleveland." "He's the buyer for Natural Walk." "Bob Ingomar from Cleveland, wonderful to see you again." "Sally Bergen, from Nordstrom." "She's got three kids and..." "Well, I'll tell you in a second." "Their sales were up 29% this year." "And I think he could do an even bigger order." "He really likes Dr. Pepper." "Here's your Dr. Pepper." "Thank you." "You are a God." "His wife just left him for a racecar driver from Prague, so don't mention your recent trip there." "(POPPING) (LAUGHS)" "We kicked the ass of the entire footwear industry." "Yeah, we did." "Hold on a moment." "I'd like to propose a toast." "To Sarah Braverman." "The best booth job ever." "God!" "(LAUGHING) Thanks a lot." "You give good booth." "MIKE:" "Sarah?" "Look at you." "You look beautiful." "Oh, thanks." "You know Gordon, our boss." "Hey, man, how are you doing?" "This is..." "You know Mike." "He works in the warehouse." "For me?" "Oh, great, man." "What's your name again?" "Mike." "Mike." "MIKE:" "And actually, yeah, I've met you before." "GORDON:" "Oh, okay." "I'm sorry about that." "I'm sorry." "That's cool, man." "Yeah." "Welcome aboard." "Thanks, man." "All right." "All right." "So, we still on for later this week?" "Oh, yeah." "Yeah, yeah." "I'll call you." "We've got a little work..." "But I'll call you." "I'll call you." "Yeah, maybe next week or something." "No, no, I'll call you." "Good to meet you, man." "GORDON:" "See you at the office." "(ALTERNATIVE ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)" "(LAUGHING)" "I don't think that's working too well." "Whatever." "My mom won't be home until 8:00." "It really doesn't matter." "HOWARD:" "Well, there you go." "I'll light some candles or something." "Yeah, that's a good idea." "Maybe if you burn down the house, she won't notice the pot smell." "Yeah." "HOWARD:" "Yeah." "Okay, that's a joke." "Don't..." "Don't burn the house down." "I mean." "I'm just saying." "Okay." "Are we going to finish this math, or..." "HOWARD:" "Uh..." "No." "HOWARD:" "No." "(HOWARD AND KELSEY LAUGH)" "Okay." "Cool." "I'm gonna go then." "Hey, you did a really good job today." "Oh, Howard, thanks." "That really means a lot." "That's very kind." "That was really sweet of you, Howard." "Thank you." "(LAUGHING) It really means a lot to her." "Sweet of you." "Wait, you're, like, actually leaving?" "Yeah, buddy, I'm actually leaving." "All right?" "See ya." "Wait, wait, wait, hold." "Wait, wait, really?" "(HOWARD AND KELSEY LAUGH)" "(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)" "BOY:" "Let's go!" "(CHILDREN EXCLAIMING)" "Listen, we got to get creative here." "Okay, the competition is too stiff." "We need to think about adding another layer to this." "We can't just..." "What kind of..." "What are you talking about?" "We need to do..." "We need to bring our A game, okay?" "Listen." "What are you..." "What is that?" "I borrowed these rings from Julia and Joel, okay?" "Listen, that couple in there, they're completely normal." "All right?" "And they're stable." "And?" "Well, and we're not stable." "We..." "This is "the school." "" Okay, we got to be "the couple," you know." "We can't just go in there all free-spirited, bohemian, and think they're going to let us in." "So, just pop this on." "(LAUGHING)" "I'm not doing it." "I'm not putting." "What do you mean you're not doing it?" "No, this is ridiculous, Crosby." "It's not ridiculous." "It is." "Look, we're awesome." "And we're exactly the kind of couple that they want at this school as parents." "You know why?" "Because we're bright, we're loving, we're ethical, we love each other, and that's all that we need." "Okay?" "Trust me." "We got this." "All right." "(PEOPLE LAUGHING)" "Hey, listen, thanks so much." "A real pleasure." "Any time." "And, Gina, I am gonna get you that coffee cake recipe." "I swear, when you taste it, you are going to love it." "Liam, that would be so great." "And I still can't believe that our grandmothers both came from Northern Iowa." "TAYLOR:" "Yeah." "How..." "And the same town." "MIKE GARRISON:" "Small world." "TAYLOR:" "Unbelievable." "Thank you so much." "Terrific talking to you both." "You'll be hearing from us soon." "Looking forward to it." "All right, bye-bye." "Principal Taylor, hi." "Oh, uh, Mr. Beaverman." "Hey." "Yeah, give me two minutes, will you?" "Two minutes." "Okay." "What are you doing?" "Give me the ring." "Well, now you want it?" "Give me the ring." "All right, here." "Do you want me to put it..." "Just give it." "Sorry." "Okay." "Left hand, right?" "Yeah, left hand." "(SIGHS)" "Yep." "Looks like a wonderful boy." "You know what I really like is that he's interested in music and baseball." "Yeah." "And reading, he likes that." "A well-rounded kid." "Okay, so, why don't you tell me something about you two?" "Well, for starters, we are married." "Mmm-hmm." "Happily married." "Well, that's very nice." "(CLEARS THROAT)" "Anything else?" "Oh, I'm a dancer." "Oh." "Well, that's exciting." "JASMINE:" "Yeah." "Do you move around a lot?" "(LAUGHING)" "That's funny." "Because dancers move around a lot when they're dancing." "But, she's not ever really away from home, if that's what you're..." "I think that might have been what your question..." "Right." "I decided to only take local jobs." "Oh, you're lucky to find them." "Yes." "I mean, you must be very talented." "She's incredibly talented." "In fact, she just turned down Alvin Ailey's dance company so she could be closer to our son." "Is that so?" "That's the level of talent she has." "Yeah, and he's really talented, as well." "I mean, he's an amazing music producer." "Well." "This one here." "I don't know about amazing, but..." "Well, you're amazing, honey." "It's nice to see two parents who believe in each other so much." "I have to say it's not always the case." "Now, you said you're a music producer?" "Uh-huh." "Well, we could sure use you around here for the Spring Sing." "See, it's always been a thought of mine that if we could record the kids' concert, and then sell the CDs, that could be a very good fundraiser for us." "That's a great idea." "That's a really good idea." "You know, I could totally do that for you." "What kind of equipment do you have?" "You mean, recording equipment?" "Yeah." "None." "Oh, okay." "Well, we could bring the kids down to my studio, and I could record them there." "Or, you know, even better, if some of the kids are interested in, like, the mixing board," "I could also help them to engineer it, too." "That is..." "I would seriously love to do that." "That would be so much fun for me." "TAYLOR:" "They would love that." "I mean, for them to get into a real studio and see all the real machines and everything, that would make their day." "Yeah." "I think it'd make all of our days." "Mmm-hmm." "Yeah." "ZEEK:" "Oh, yeah." "Come on." "(ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING)" "Millie, Millie, Millie!" "Get down here!" "I'm feeling it!" "I got the fox trot in my shoes, and my..." "Come on, let's practice." "Come on." "You feel it?" "Huh?" "You get that feeling?" "Nice, nice." "And how about... (STOPS MUSIC)" "What are you doing?" "I don't want to do the dance class thing anymore." "Why?" "Why do you think?" "Honey, we're not very good, all right." "So, I thought, you know, if we practice, we're going to get better." "Then we'll have a lot more fun." "It's not about the dancing." "Don't you get it?" "I wanted to spend time together." "You didn't want to do it in the first place." "Now you're off the hook." "Right?" "(SIGHS)" "(MUTTERING)" "What the hell." "(KNOCK AT DOOR)" "Who is it?" "KELSEY:" "It's me." "Oh, come in." "Hey." "Hey." "That's a good poster." "Thanks." "Your grandma let me in." "Cool." "So, why did you leave all pissed off?" "Um..." "I wasn't all pissed off." "I just was, like, a little..." "I mean, you were, like, pretty pissed off." "Frustrated." "Just like the whole Howard thing." "Are you jealous?" "Are you kidding?" "Of course I'm not jealous." "Please." "I'm just trying to figure out." "Look, I don't think you have any idea what a huge deal $40 is to my family." "And, like, I just can't afford sitting around and smoking pot with you and Howard for $40." "I need that tutoring." "I didn't even think about that." "I know, and I should have told you, but it's..." "It's embarrassing." "I'm really sorry." "I'll give you all the money back." "No." "Hey." "Please." "It's like..." "I mean." "It's not about that." "I just..." "I had to tell you, you know." "Yeah." "We will study from now on." "Okay." "Just gonna ace those SATs." "I hope so." "Can I stay for dinner?" "(SIGHS) If you must." "MAX:" "Dad." "Yeah?" "Do you know where Mom is, 'cause I finished my math homework and I want my sticker, see?" "Yeah." "Uh..." "Do you know where she is?" "She's not here, bud." "She's at a..." "A group meeting." "What kind of a group?" "It's a group that has a shared common experience." "Shared common interest." "Well, like, you know, is it like when Haddie goes with all her friends and plays soccer, like that?" "Yeah, it's like that." "Like, do they play soccer?" "No." "Well, then what do they do?" "Cards." "They play cards." "They all like playing cards." "Well, do they play Go Fish?" "'Cause that's really fun." "I want to play Go Fish with them if they play Go Fish." "I don't think they do." "Oh, well, I want to play Go Fish some time." "I'll get this." "(SIGHS)" "Thank you for this amazing day." "I'll never forget it." "Please, I should be thanking you." "No, you have no idea how great that made me feel." "I've..." "Tomorrow I'll return this dress with the tag still on, give my sister back these beautiful shoes, and go back to being an internlbartender." "Today was a real gift." "You have no idea how great you are, do you?" "(SCOFFS) No." "I just don't get to meet a lot of girls like you." "Thanks." "Thanks." "Thanks." "Goodnight." "Goodnight." "I'll see you tomorrow." "Yeah." "I feel like we're this unit." "Like we can hold it together and protect him as long as we're together." "Hi." "RICHARD:" "Hank, thank you." "Hello." "Join us." "That's my husband, Adam." "RICHARD:" "Oh, Adam, welcome." "Thanks for coming." "Have a seat." "Join us." "It's nice to finally meet you." "Thank you." "Nice to be here." "Is there anything you'd like to share with us?" "Um..." "It's okay." "Take your time." "It's okay." "I felt kind of weird leaving the house tonight, because our son asked where his mother was." "And, uh..." "I don't like to lie to my kids." "So I wanted to tell him that his mother was at an Asperger's support group meeting, but..." "I couldn't, because he doesn't know he has Asperger's." "And I dread the day that I have to tell him he does." "He's asleep." "Gin and tonic?" "Classy." "That's how we do it at our private school." "Mmm." "Mmm!" "He is totally getting into that school." "Oh, yeah." "I think they might even name the gymnasium after us." "Well, that's because you killed it." "You really did." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "But I think we killed it." "You know, the whole time you were gone, I never stopped hoping that we'd all be back together, and this is kind of how I hoped it would be." "And..." "And..." "It would..." "You're awesome." "Yeah, you, too." "Um..." "These are good." "I'll give you back this ring before you lose it." "Oh, yeah, thank you." "Julia will kill me if you..." "But you could..." "Do you want to..." "No." "You should." "I could." "You should give it back." "All right." "SYDNEY:" "Now it's time for bed." "Okay." "Time for bed, honey." "Make sure that the alligator doesn't eat you." "(GIGGLES) I know, Mom." "Night." "Night, darling." "Hi, sweetie." "Hi, Mommy." "(WHISPERING) Daddy's sleeping." "I see that." "Can we go in your bed now?" "Well, come here." "You know what's funny?" "What?" "When Mommies and Daddies first meet, and they fall in love," "they get in this kind of a love bubble." "It's their own little world." "And they're just in there with each other." "And then, babies come, and it makes them really happy." "And they want the babies to come in the bubble with them." "But they only made the bubble for two people at first." "So it gets a little squishy." "But does it grow?" "It does grow, but it takes time for it to grow." "So..." "The Daddy's getting pushed out?" "That's exactly right." "And he starts to feel a little left out, you know?" "He misses some of that attention that he used to get." "So, do you think you could help me out with that by sleeping in your own bed for a little bit, so Daddy can come back in the bubble, for a little bit?" "Sure." "Sometimes Daddies are like little babies who need attention, too." "It's beautiful." "Sad." "Kind of lonely." "Is that the way you feel?" "Well, it's the way I felt for a little while." "I guess." "Yeah." "You're kidding." "I love you." "Bottom line." "Okay?" "And I'm not going to lose you." "Got a Jack?" "Go fish, my friend." "Jack!" "How about that?" "This makes all four." "All right, Mom." "Gaby says I have to ask another feeling question today." "So, how was that group meeting of people with shared interests and experience, who like playing cards, that you went to?" "It was good, really good." "You got any threes?" "Go fish."
