"[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]" "STUDENT:" "Wait up." "Julia, hi." "Thanks for coming down." "Mrs. Huffman, hi." "Look, can we not do this?" "I mean, I've made up my mind about Stanford." "We just wanna talk to you about your options, that's all." "Come on in." "We?" "Who's--?" "Charlie, man." "Look, before you get mad at me," "I just thought we should talk this out, okay?" "Julia, obviously things are a little overwhelming for you right now." "And that means it's probably not the best time to make a huge decision like this." "So the best solution, I think, is just defer for a year" "I told you, I" " I don't wanna defer." "Why not?" "Miss Huffman says all you have to do is write them a letter and tell them how you plan to spend the year." "Well, t-that's kind of the point." "I don't know how I'm gonna spend the year." "So make something up." "You're a writer." "Then you can" " You can take the year off, you know?" "And then if you still don't want to go, fine." "Okay." "It'll-- It'll be your decision." "It's my decision now." "Julia, look, I know it hasn't been easy for everyone after what happened with Libby." "I know it's very confusing." "But your brother says you've been spending time with an older man who may have influenced your" "What?" "God, Charlie," "I can't believe you." "This" " This is not about Sam." "Come on, ever since you've been hanging out with this guy" "God, you have got it out for him, don't you?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I do." "Because he's a 24-year-old roofer and you're 17." "And he's obviously not the most together person on the planet." "Let's try to discuss" "He doesn't know best." "Oh, you do?" "Yeah, I do." "I'm not gonna let you throw away your future on some guy." "So you're going to Stanford or-- Or deferring or whatever" "Who do you think you are?" "Maybe you should just" "I am the guardian." "I'm in charge, and you live in my house" "Your house?"

"We've got a refrigerator and a bottle opener." "You are terminally unhip, you know that?" "It's part of the whole, like, cocktail-nation scene." "Martinis, Dean Martin." "Just trust me, okay?" "It's hip." "Yeah, well, I don't need to be hip." "I need a bedroom." "And this thing's taking up a ton of space, so" "[KNOCK AT DOOR]" "Wow!" "You weren't kidding." "You live in a slum." "Will?"

"And then" " And then to find out that way." "Man, did I tell you how I found out?" "Yeah, you did you said" "I followed her." "Right to his frat house." "And the next morning there's Patsy's Geo in the same spot." "With the rock right on the tire where you left it." "I know." "Ugh!" "I'm starting to understand country and western music." "But you" " You gotta know what I'm going through, right?" "I mean, you and Sarah." "I guess so." "Hey, you know what, man" "What happened with you guys anyway?" "Why'd she dump you?"

"But Mom, she would have had some really great way of making Julia see what a boneheaded thing she's doing." "It's the "really great" part that I get stuck on." "[LAUGHS]" "So you in a hurry to get home?" "Why?" "No reason." "I was just" "What's the rule on you staying over?" "Hey, I'm an adult." "I can do whatever I want." "As long as I call home first." "[LAUGHS]" "Well, good." "Because I think it might be nice to wake up with you in the morning." "We've never done that, you know, wake up, have coffee together in bed." "That sounds" "I'd like that."

"Anyway, Charlie, um," "I'm just glad to be here." "[GRUNTS]" "[SIGHS]" "[***]" "You know what?" "I should, um" " I think I better go sleep on the sofa." "The sofa?" "What--?" "Yeah, yeah, I'm a really restless sleeper, and I'd probably just keep you awake all night anyway." "So" "Charlie, that's" "No, really." "It's okay." "I just think we'd both be better off." "Oh, it's Kirsten, huh?" "Yeah." "It's kind of weird." "I'm sorry." "Then I'm the one who should sleep on the sofa." "No." "Hey, it's fine, really." "Just try to get some sleep, okay?" "[JAZZY MUSIC PLAYING]" "So according to this, you are" "What?" "There's no way you can pass for 27." "Shh!" "Shh!" "You're gonna give me away."

"You were right, Bay, this is perfect." "I feel" "This is, uh..." "I feel..." "Lightweight." "Were the back units damaged?" "Well, when can I get in?" "Mr. Bellows?" "I'm on hold." "Can you--?" "Can you believe it's playing"Disco Inferno"?" "There's two sugars." "Not quite how I envisioned morning coffee with you, but" "Yes, yes, I'm here." "You were saying?" "Charlie, didn't you get my note?" "Y-you were supposed to wake me up last night." "What?" "No." "Um, things got a little crazy." "So it would appear." "Hey, for your information, there was a fire in Grace's apartment last night, and she had to stay here." "And I slept on the couch as if it's any of your" "Okay, what" " Whatever It's just" "It's Julia." "She" " She packed a bag, a-and she went to stay at Sam's." "What?" "No." "I can't wait that long, Mr. Bellows." "You gotta do something, Charlie." "Okay." "I'll, uh-- I'll" " I'll deal with it." "I'll talk to her or kill her or something." "You gotta stop fighting." "I said I'll deal with it, okay?" "Hey, don't snap at me, okay?" "I mean, at least I care what happens with this family." "GRACE:" "I'll give you the number where I'm staying." "You wrote the number down?" "Okay." "[PHONE BEEPS OFF]" "That didn't sound good." "Just more headaches." "What'd your landlord say?" "Part of the roof collapsed." "They have to do some kind of inspection." "So I don't know how long it'll be before" "I'm sorry." "I know this is the last thing you need to be dealing with right now." "It's okay." "Who you calling now?" "My sister." "I should let her know she's gonna have a houseguest." "Now, wait, wait, wait." "Hold on." "You're not seriously gonna drive back and forth from here to San Jose." "That's nuts." "Just stay here." "That's too much to" "You slept on the couch last night because of me." "And I know having me here is weird for you, so" "Maybe." "But who's got the bigger problem here, me or you?" "Cal." "Callie, you're on my arm." "Pats." "Pats." "BOTH:" "Whoa!" "Oh, God, Bay." "Oh, God, my head." "Oh, God, my stomach." "You okay?" "Ow." "No." "Aren't you--?" "Wait, wait." "You matched me beer for beer." "Why aren't you--?" "I am." "Believe me." "Oh, man, I was dreaming again." "Yeah, let me guess." "About Patsy." "About her eyes." "I ever tell you she had the most amazing green eyes?" "Yeah." "With little gold flecks." "You might have mentioned it once or 25 times." "I just can't" "[SIGHS]" "Maybe I should call her." "Think I should call her?" "She's boffing another guy, Will." "Thanks, Bay." "You really know how to put it into perspective." "Oh, next time you want to help me take my mind off things, just shoot me, all right?" "Don't worry." "I've got something that'll fix you right up." "Good." "Because I feel like my stomach is trying to crawl out of my mouth." "Hair of the dog." "Sure-fire cure for a hangover." "Just sip it slow." "You gotta be" " Oh, God." "How can you--?"

"Where is, uh, the salt?" "Oh, you had three boxes open so I put them all in a little red canister." "You know, the one that was full of nails?" "When did you do this?" "Last night." "I couldn't sleep." "All I could do was lie there and think of variations on stubbly-faced loser." "Salt." "Oh, and by the way, thank you for letting me stay here like this." "It's not a problem." "[KNOCK AT DOOR]" "I'll get rid of them." "Okay." "Oh, Claudia." "CLAUDIA:" "Is--?" "Is Julia here?" "Claud?" "What's going on?" "Nothing." "Except it was your day to watch Owen." "Wait a minute." "You came all the way here just to tell me that?" "Uh, you guys, you're-- You're letting out the heat." "You know, this is a" " A really not good time, Claudia." "Well, excuse me for putting you out, sis." "But you can't just walk away from all of your chores at the house." "I mean, like, that's fair." "While you're playing house with Sam," "I get stuck with everything at home." "And Bailey's gone, and" " And Charlie, he's too busy moving Grace into the house." "Grace?" "What?" "So he" " He kicks my boyfriend out and then moves her in?" "God, I can't believe him." "You know, I'm just gonna go somewhere else." "No, no." "Stay." "We're finished here." "No, we're not." "You can't just walk away from all of your stuff at the house." "Fine." "Then I won't." "I'll just do them in another house because I'm not going back there." "Whatever." "I'm going home." "How?" "How did you get here?" "How else?" "I took Muni." "At night by yourself?" "Hey, you know what?" "I'll run you home, okay?" "I mean, dinner will keep." "Right?" "No." "Actually, it's risotto." "It" " It won't keep." "I went to an awful lot of trouble for this." "It'll only take 20 minutes." "No." "You know what?" "I'll take you after." "Why don't you just stay." "You don't mind, do you, Sam?" "Why would I mind?" "Come on, Will, this" "What are we doing here?" "This is a coffee house." "They serve coffee." "I know." "You gotta sober up." "You gotta sober up." "I'm not the one that's been drinking since noon." "That dog had a lot of hair." "What drinking since noon?" "I had a couple of beers with lunch." "Let go of me." "Three." "And two while we watched the game." "Yeah?" "Who's counting?" "Stop squeezing my arm, all right?" "Whoa, sorry." "Bailey." "Sarah." "Whoa." "Will, look, it's Sarah." "You remember Sarah." "Sarah." "Wow." "Look at you, you're" " How you doing?" "God." "Will" "Hey, Sarah." "I'm just" "Oh, Will" " Will just broke up with his girlfriend." "But between you and me, it's probably a good thing because she treated him like crap." "Just ask him." "He'll tell you all about it." "Bailey" "But" " But you two could probably compare notes, huh?" "Hey, maybe you guys could even get back together." "You know what?" "I" " I should-- I should probably just go." "Wait, no, no, no." "Don't go." "Hang around, we're gonna stay." "We'll get a table." "Whoa." "Sorry." "[LAUGHS] Sorry." "I'm sorry, I got it." "I got that." "Sorry." "Bailey, come on." "You better get this guy out of here." "WILL:" "Bailey, come on." "Hey, hey, I can walk." "Sarah?"

"Life goes on, huh?" "You know what?" "This is only gonna frustrate both of us, so" "So stay with me." "With you?" "But what--?" "What about--?" "Yeah, I know." "But you're gonna be here for at least a few days, and I feel like I'm holding you hostage with my stupid hangup." "So come on." "No." "You know what?" "You shouldn't be uncomfortable in your own bed." "That's insane." "No." "I'm insane." "And the truth is I'm just avoiding it." "And I gotta get past that because that's stupid." "If I don't, we're both gonna be miserable." "So I just gotta take the plunge." "I gotta get back on that horse" "[LAUGHS] Well, that's a bad analogy." "You sure you're okay with this?" "You said it." "Life goes on." "Oh, hey." "Hey." "So, um, I got up for a snack around 3, and I-- and I couldn't help but noticing that the sofa hadn't been slept on." "Oh, yeah." "Um, about that" "So I'm just, you know, I was guessing that Grace found another place to stay." "Well, you could say that." "It's" "Which is probably a good thing, right?" "Because" "Oh, Claudia, good morning." "Do you mind?" "Be my guest." "Sarah, hey, um, your dad said it was okay if I" "Hey." "Hi." "It's" " It's, uh, nice to see you." "Yeah, you too." "Wow." "You" " You still" "Oh, uh, yeah, you know, I just" "I haven't gotten around to taking them down yet." "I" " I just kept thinking" "Stupid, huh?" "Anyway, no time like the present." "You look great." "How are you?" "Eh, my life sucks right now." "Like, you know, totally." "But I'm okay." "Yeah, me too." "Look, um, I know this is probably none of my business, but what's going on with Bailey?" "I mean" "You'd have to ask him." "How long has he been drinking like this?" "I don't know." "I mean, I" " I know that he drinks sometimes." "But it's like he's this" "This whole different person since he got together with Callie." "Got together?" "What do you mean?" "I thought they were roommates." "Just mates, apparently." "Didn't he tell you?" "You mean, he didn't--?" "Oh, that's why we broke up." "I thought you knew." "No." "Actually, he forgot to mention that." "Wow." "Yeah." "Well, anyway..." "Hey, I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to" "I just thought if he's been doing this for a while, with the drinking, I mean, maybe we should do something." "You know what, Will, I sort of can't go there." "Yeah, I'm still trying to get over this, you know." "And i-if Bailey has some kind of problem, well, it's his problem, not mine." "His." "Ah." "[BANG AT DOOR]" "Hey, you don't have to bang the damn door down." "What the hell are you--?" "Sorry." "I" "What happened to you?" "Are you sick or something?" "Um, yeah, yeah." "I am." "I" " I ate some bad..." "I really need to talk to you." "Oh, this is-- Not right now, Claud." "Yeah, right now." "That's why I came all the way over here." "I don't know who else I can talk to." "You're like..." "you're, like, it." "What's going on?" "You have to talk to Julia." "Or" " Or Charlie." "Or somebody." "Talk about what?" "About this stupid fight they're having." "Now Julia's moved out, and Charlie, he's got Grace staying with us." "And it's like the whole family is just falling apart." "And you were the one that always kept things together." "And nobody's doing that anymore." "So you'll talk to them, right?" "[SIGHS]" "I don't" " I don't know." "What do you mean, you don't know?" "I mean" "I mean, they're gonna have to work this out on their own, Claud, because I can't." "They're not speaking to each other." "You have to do something." "You always know what to do." "They'll listen to you." "No, I don't." "I" " I can't, Claud, okay?" "I can't help you." "[SIGHS]" "I don't live there anymore." "Okay?" "So this really isn't my problem." "Sorry I bothered you." "Hello?" "Julia!" "Hello?" "JULIA:" "Coming." "Hey." "Can you open the door, please?" "Oh, yeah, hang on." "You just, uh, wedged the chain in the little thingie." "Pull the door a little." "I'll get it." "JULIA:" "What's the rush?" "Something wrong?" "I got it." "Yeah." "I've only got, like, 30 seconds." "Thirty seconds for what?" "The Flyers and the Rangers." "Oh, um" "I've planned my whole week so I could get home in time for the face-off..." "Oh, uh, Sam-- ...which happens in exactly 35 seconds." "Yum, yum, yum." "No." "No." "It's okay." "Look, Owen, we gotta turn this off now, okay?" "No!" "No." "I" " I mean it." "It's Sam's turn to watch TV." "Remember Sam?" "No, no, no!" "You promised." "It's..." "Okay." "Look, I'll, uh" " I'll watch it in the bedroom." "What, on" " On that little TV?" "That doesn't seem fair." "Watch your step, all right?" "We've got the floor braced from underneath, but it's still pretty dangerous." "Are you okay?" "Oh, here." "I have my key." "I can't let you stay in there too long." "And you can only take whatever you can carry." "Sorry." "No, no, thank you." "I can't believe it." "Whew." "Man, where should we start?" "I don't" " I don't know." "I thought there would be... pictures." "My, uh, grandmother gave me all the family pictures." "I was gonna have copies made for my parents' anniversary." "Miss Wilcox?" "Your landlord was, um, holding this for you." "Oh, thank you." "What is it?" "I don't know." "It's, um, a bedspread that I ordered two weeks ago after I painted my bedroom." "It cost way more than I could afford, but" "So you haven't lost everything, right?" "[CRIES]" "Come here." "Hey, I thought I was gonna pick you up." "Yeah." "I know." "It's, uh" "It's just I was kind of hoping we could talk." "Will, Will, Will, you gotta let go of her, man." "More talking is not gonna do you any good." "No." "It's not-- It's not about that." "Oh, okay." "Um, well, there's a place right down on the corner." "Let's go grab a beer and talk." "No." "See, that's the thing." "I'm still queasy from the other night." "Well, you just gotta learn how to pace yourself." "No, no." "Wait a minute." "That's what I wanna..." "It's like" "It's just" "It seems like all you want to do anymore is drink." "What?" "Well, welcome to college, Will." "That's kind of part of it." "I know." "I know that." "But my point is, it's just you're drinking a lot." "Like a lot." "Yeah." "Especially since you've been here." "But I thought we were" " What?" "Do--?" "Do you do you have some kind of problem with that?" "More to the point, Bay, do you?" "[LAUGHS]" "Whoa." "Y-you gotta be kidding me here, right?" "No, I'm not." "I" " I mean, I don't even recognize you anymore." "It's like you're out of control or something." "You're drinking all the time." "You dumped a great girlfriend." "Hey, hey, she dumped me." "Okay?" "Yeah, whatever." "What?" "What's with the tone?" "Come on, Bay, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what's going on here." "Going on?" "You're not" " You know what, Will?" "This whole thing with Patsy's making you nuts." "This isn't ab-- Will you listen to me?" "No." "I don't want to because you're way out of line." "You come home, and you're totally bummed out and" "And, hey, I-- I'm bummed out too." "So I try to be a good friend to you and help you try and take your mind off things" "Wait a minute." "No, don't try to make this about me." "Well, it is about you, Will." "I was just trying to show you a good time." "And excuse me, I don't remember even once hearing you say you weren't having fun." "You should have said something and we could've... gone bowling or whatever instead of..." "I don't believe this." "You're accusing me of..." "You know what?" "You know what, Will?" "Go to hell." "Okay?" "Just go to hell." "I" " I'm worried about you." "I'm only trying to help." "You want to help?" "Get lost." "Shoot it." "Shoot." "Shoot." "Shoot it!" "Shoot." "Yes!" "Yes." "Flyers just went up." "Cool." "[KNOCK AT DOOR]" "I'll get it." "Thanks." "Charlie." "Hey, O." "OWEN:" "Charlie, hi." "Were you ever gonna call me back?" "I hadn't planned to, nope." "Hey, you know what, Jule?" "I" " I'm sick of this." "You don't leave me notes saying that Owen is staying over here." "He is not staying over here." "And you don't-- You don't do that." "God, listen to you." "And I don't want any of this attitude." "All right?" "He is coming home." "And you know what?" "You're coming home too." "JULIA:" "What?" "Wait a minute." "You butt out, all right?" "My sister is 17." "I don't know what it says about you, but she's not staying." "You wanna take cheap shots at me, go ahead." "Hey, I am not getting into this with you right now." "Julia, get your crap." "We're going." "OWEN:" "You guys stop yelling." "No." "You're going." "No." "No." "Nice work, guys." "OWEN:" "Guys, stop yelling." "Come here." "It's okay, Owen." "It's okay." "I told you to wait in the truck." "It's scary out there." "Wait outside, Claudia." "Hey, you're tracking stuff" "Julia." "No." "You know what, Charlie, I am not going home until you stop treating me like some stupid kid." "Maybe when you stop acting like one." "I've made many adult decisions and you're happy to let me." "It's just you don't like this one." "Come on, you guys." "Like it or not, I am your guardian, okay?" "And first" " First of all, you are coming home, all right?" "All I'd have to do is make one call to make you." "Oh." "That'd be smart." "Go ahead." "Let Social Services see what a bang-up job" "Julia-- Stop it!" "I am not going home." "I am not." "So just get the hell out of here." "I mean it, Charlie." "Go." "I'm not done with this." "Let's go, Claud." "Hey, look at you." "You know how they say you always have to throw out the first pancake?" "Mm-hm." "Well, I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't stop there." "A little syrup, a little butter, you'll never know the difference." "This is so sweet." "You cooked for me." "Yeah." "I thought I should do something nice." "Should?" "Yeah, to counteract something not so nice." "Why am I nervous all of a sudden?" "Look, Julia," "I really like you." "Sam, that is not a good opener." "Wait." "Hold on." "I like you." "And the thought of having you live here with me is..." "Well, it's very tempting." "But it might be nice to try it when you're actually here because of me and not because you're running away from home." "Look, I know that things are tough for you right now with Charlie." "But you guys have to work that out." "And" " And until you do, it's just" "I got a nice quiet little life going here." "I come home." "I watch a little TV." "Listen to some music." "And I kind of like it that way." "So, what you're trying to say to me in the nicest way possible is that you'd like me to get the hell out?" "Like you wouldn't even believe." "[GRUNTING]" "You want me to, uh, spot you?" "I got it." "Thanks." "I went by your place." "Callie said you were here." "Yep." "I like to get my workout in before the bars open." "Gotta keep my elbow in shape for all that drinking." "Look, Bay, can we--?" "Can we just back up a minute here?" "Okay?" "Let's" " Let me just ask you, friend to friend, are you okay?" "You know, with the" "With the drinking?" "Will" "No." "I mean it." "I thought about last night, and I should have" "I should have just come out and asked you point-blank instead of..." "Just tell me." "I'm okay." "I'm fine." "Okay." "Then I'm sorry." "I just" " I haven't seen you in the last four months, and it seemed to me like you were" "Hey, yeah, the truth is sometimes I overdo it with the partying." "But, hell, don't you?" "Yeah." "Sure." "Sometimes." "And you're right." "You haven't been around these past four months because if you had, you wouldn't even ask me that, Will." "You would know that it's not a problem." "I'm doing okay in school, and you know, for me." "And I'm the best wrestler at state." "And drinking doesn't get in the way of any of that stuff." "I'm just trying to have a good time here, Will." "I know." "I know." "I just thought..." "I don't know what I thought." "So we're cool?" "Yeah." "Yeah, we're cool." "Good." "So you still want to do something tonight?" "Movie?" "Whatever?" "Because, you know, I'm flying out first thing tomorrow." "I figure we can, you know, hang out, do whatever." "Wow." "You know what?" "I got this" " This test that I gotta cram for." "I totally blew it off all week." "So I think I gotta bail on you, man." "I'm sorry." "No." "No problem." "Anyway, I'm gonna hit the showers." "You're back?" "Yeah." "I, uh, thought about it, and it just didn't seem right." "You know?" "Great." "And besides that, Sam kicked me out." "Well, anyway, I'm back." "Great." "So, what are you guys doing?" "Owen's asked us to make a family tree using macaroni." "Excuse me?" "Well, you know, he has to draw a picture of each one of us and then glue the macaroni to the page for the branches." "Oh." "You guys, uh-- You want some help?" "We got it covered." "How'd it go?" "Fine." "If I want to live next door to an aspiring heavy-metal drummer." "Did you see anything that you liked?" "Nope." "Good." "Excuse me?" "Well, you know those signs, the ones that say," ""If you lived here, you could be home now"?" "You could be home now." "Check it out." "The" " The colors even match." "Charlie" "No, wait." "I know." "I know what you're gonna say." "It's too soon and we haven't been together long enough." "And there are about a million practical, logical reasons why this is a bad idea." "There's also one reason why it's a good idea." "And what's that?" "Because I really, really want this with you." "I mean," "I still sleep on one side of the bed." "You know that?" "And I still put my toothbrush in the same hole in the little" "The little thingie." "I mean, old habits, right?" "Well, that's just-- That's just dumb, is what it is." "So I" " I want you to come in here and make me change all that." "It's time to shake things up." "Because I'm ready." "Wow, Charlie" "Hey, we're both making a fresh start here, but who says that has to be hard?" "I mean, maybe if we do it together..." "Help me make the bed?" "[LAUGHS]" "Hey, there you are." "Did you and Will have fun?" "Huh?" "Oh, yeah." "Yeah, it was great." "What are you doing?" "I'm making martinis." "Shaken, not stirred." "You can tell me if they're any good." "Actually, I've never had a martini before." "So I don't know that I'd be the best judge." "Well, after a couple of these, it probably won't matter." "So now, the book says that you're supposed to drink it quickly, while it's still laughing at you." "[LAUGHS] Whatever that means." "L'chaim." "See, I told you this would look cool." "[BOTH LAUGH]" "Yeah." "So you gonna come in here and take my bed down for me every night?" "I got a better idea." "What?" "My bed's a queen size, so..." "It's a lot of wasted mattress." "You mean you want me to--?" "Don't you?" "What?" "You think it's a bad idea?" "No." "No." "I think" "I don't think I've ever told you how great you are." "It must be the liquor talking." "Yeah, it must be." "[CLEARS THROAT]" "Uh-huh." "I think it stopped laughing." "[***]" "[***]"
