"Dad!" "Do we have any milk in here?" "What?" " It's right in front of you." "Right next to the OJ." " Right." "Hey, babe." " Hi." "How was your run?" " Excellent." "Don't know what you're missing." "Oh, but I do." " I'm gonna get you back out there again with me one of these days." "Uh, uh, uh." "One freshly-ironed shirt." " Thank you, honey." "By the way, most of your shirts are disintegrating, so we should go shopping for more this weekend." "Shopping?" "Can I have a root canal instead?" "Hey!" "Hot pot of coffee, just for you." " That's what I wanna hear." "Coming up." " Have I ever told you that your father makes the best coffee in the world?" " Yes, Mom." "A couple times." " One of my many talents." "Certainly not his house-keeping chops." "Mm." "That's my ride." " Hey, hey, hey!" "Kiss, please." "Have a great day." "You too." "See you, Dad!" " See you tonight." "Yep." " The milk?" "Uh, sorry." "Can't do it." "Gotta go!" "He's going to college?" " We need to help him fill out his college registration forms." "And if he doesn't choose a dorm soon, they'll just assign him one." "He needs to pick a meal plan." " Oh, I'm on that." "Don't think I didn't see those cookies." "Love you." " You too." "Have a great day." "Mm." "Hey, hey!" " Hey!" "Cream, two sugars." " My hero." "Of course." " So?" "Did you watch the Twins game last night?" " Did you have to bring that up?" "That eighth inning?" " Five runs." "They were up five runs." "Against the White Sox, no less." "Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, again." "Right." " They wanna see us suffer." "Well, let's think about good thoughts." "What do you and Maura have planned for tonight?" "Tonight what?" " Your anniversary." "Ohh." "Ben." "Oh, wow." " That's today?" "You know, I was just a guest at your wedding, and even" "I remember the date." " Stay calm, Walker." "You got this." "So there's no reason to be nervous, our stellar work speaks for itself, but a visit from the bank president is a big deal." "So let's all be in our top form tomorrow and show Mr. Hardison why Campbell branch is Continental's best branch." "That's my husband." "Company dismissed." "Hello, sweetheart." "Hey, babe." "So we're all set for tonight, 6:30 reservation at Mario's." " Mario's... tonight?" "Faked you out pretty good this morning, huh?" "You don't think" "I actually forgot about our anniversary, do you?" "Well, I was wondering." "That's fantastic." "I'm gonna have to meet you there, because we've got a late staff meeting." "I'll see you there." "OK, stay calm." "You got this." "Nice save." " Hey!" "Funding came through for your summer camp." " Great." "That's great." "Hey, wha... what's the rush?" " It's my anniversary." "I forgot." "I gotta run out and get something for Maura." " You forgot?" "No, I didn't forget the date, obviously, I just forgot that date was today." "I did not think women were capable of doing that." "Apparently, we are." "Things have been crazy at work, though." "Quarterly reports, prepping for the bank president's visit, getting everyone up to speed with the new mortgage rates..." "I've just, I've been totally distracted." "Alright, well, catch your breath." "We'll have a nice leisurely lunch..." " Oh, no, no." "No lunch for me." "I have to get Ben a gift." "And we're having dinner at Mario's." "Let me guess." "Ben's choice?" "Yeah, but you know what?" "He loves it." "He's been going there since he was a kid." "I like it." "Yes, he has." "OK, creature of habit." "Lunch tomorrow?" " Sure, why not?" "Thanks, Sis." " Nothing better to do." "Happy anniversary!" " You, too." "I mean..." "Hey, you." " Hey." "Um, I brought your AP English notes." "Thanks." "You could have just emailed them." "I actually wanted to come by and, and ask you if you're going to prom." " Yeah." "You wanna go together?" " You mean like hitch a ride?" "Right." "Yes." "Of course." "Um..." "Charlotte Doane, will you be my date to prom?" "Of course I'll be your date to prom." "Why else would I have been flirting with you all semester?" " So you were flirting!" "Totally bringing my A game." " Oh!" "Happy anniversary!" " Thank you." "The memorabilia shop certified it as original." "The whole team signed it." " Kirby Puckett." "My hero." "It's from '91." "The year we were married." "And the Twins won the Series." "One of my favourite years." " I hope so." "Thanks, honey." "It's terrific." "And while we're in gift-giving mode, happy anniversary." " Thank you." "It's... gorgeous." " Goes perfectly with your eyes, too." " I love it." "I love it, and I love you." "Love you, too." "Great." "Have you talked to Lacey?" " Uh, no, but she texted me today." "She's good." "All is well." " A daughter in college and a son on the way." "How did we get so old?" "I don't know." "None of our friends have kids in college." "Doesn't seem fair." "Not fair at all." "♪" "What a view!" "I'm so sorry I fell asleep." "Don't worry about it, sweetie." "You had such a big day." "No, but you took us someplace romantic, our special place, and I ruined it." "No, you didn't." "Sweetie, we'll do it again." "You know, it's been so long since we had a getaway." "We should go away this weekend." " I can't, I have that charity softball game." " Oh, right." "What's going on next week?" " I've got a conference in Grand Rapids." " That's right." "And then we have Lacey coming home, and then and Dad's party..." "We're, like, the busiest family in the world." "Guinness Book busy." " Don't worry." "We'll figure it out." "That's hilarious." "Did I snore?" "Do I snore?" " Little bit." "Oh." " Love you." "Love you." "I am so glad that the funding came through for the community centre program." "Me, too." " We're gonna give teenagers summer jobs, provide daycare for families..." "It was a great idea." "I think the idea was yours, Sienna." "There is no pride of ownership at Parks and Rec, Ben." "We are in it together." "Oh, hey!" "How was your anniversary night?" "It was nice, thanks." " Yeah?" "Did you get any gifts?" "I got a baseball signed by the '91 Twins." "Don't you already have one of those?" "Maura got me one for our 10th anniversary, too." "Oh." "Hey, well, hey, now you have one for home and for the office." "Right?" "That's one way of looking at it." "He really didn't know?" " He couldn't have." "It's the exact same scarf." "I treated myself to it on my birthday last year." "I wear it all the time." "Yeah, I know." "Come on, men are like that." "Do you remember that time that" "I cut my hair from shoulder to ear length and streaked it pink?" "Yes, I do." " Warren never said a word." "One of the reasons I left him." " That, and the affair he had" "That, too." "Yeah." " You know, the other thing is" "Ben and I have to sit down with Adam to help him get his ducks in a row for college, and he keeps finding an excuse not to do it." " Why?" "I think he's missing Adam already and doesn't want to face the fact that it's just gonna be him and I again soon." "You know how he is." "He hates change." "Yeah." "Mr. Steady-as-a-Rock." " And I love him for it." "We all do." " I do." "It's just... sometimes things do change." "Whether you like it or not." "Are you ready for an empty nest?" "No, of course not." " It can really derail a couple." "You worried?" " No." "No, I'm not." "We both have rich, full lives, independent of the kids." "And each other." " Yeah." "We're a modern family." "Gotta go." " Ooh, Ms. Business." "So it's true Continental's president has never visited your branch before?" "No." "Not on my watch." " I wonder what he wants." "I don't know." "Guess I'll find out." "Think you might wanna pay the bill?" " I'll get it next time." "That's what you said last time." "No, you're right." "This is my first visit to the Campbell branch." "To what do we owe the honour?" "Those aren't homemade cookies, are they?" "Yes, they are." " You actually bake for your customers?" "I do, when I can." "Or someone on my team does." "That's a darn good cookie." "Mm." "You are owed this honour more, because of these cookies." " Excuse me?" "The Campbell branch of Continental has the highest customer retention, the fewest defaults on our equity loans and the lowest turnover of personnel." "Well, we do our best." " Which is why" "I have a proposition for you." "Brutal." "It's the run up to finals; it's panic time." "I remember those days." "Hey, did you hear your brother has" "Can you believe that?" " Whoa, no." "No, no, no, Lauren is out." " No, actually, her name's" "Charlotte." "Um..." "She's a junior, she's really cute and I met her in English AP." "Why's a smart girl dating you?" "My irresistible charm and impossible good looks." "Right." "Continental's president visited the bank today." "The president of the entire bank." "He wanted to know if I'd be interested in filling in for the manager of their main branch while she goes on maternity leave." "What?" "Mom, that's amazing." " Isn't that awesome?" "It's in Minneapolis, but it's only for six weeks and I'll come home on the weekends." "Um, I have to go because I'm meeting some friends for a study session, but, um, congratulations." " Thanks, sweetie." "Counting the minutes until you're home again." " Ugh, me too." "Call if you need anything." " Love you." "Hey!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "When you're done with homework, we gotta get going with those college registration forms, OK?" "I need that wrapped up before your mom leaves for Minneapolis." "Sounds good." "See?" "I can handle things." "I gotta admit, I was getting a little worried." "Mr. Cool-in-the-Clutch." " Don't know what that means." " Baseball thing." "Six weeks in Minneapolis." "Is it gonna be weird?" "Me not being here?" " At first, but we'll be fine." "We'll get through it." "Alright." "I gotta admit, I'm kind of excited." "You should be, babe." "I'm proud of you." "Thanks, honey." "Hey, the ballgame's on." "Wanna watch it with me?" " Mm, that's your other wife who watches baseball." " I always confuse the two." "Maura, right?" "You sure I can't twist your arm?" "No, I think I'm gonna go for a run instead." "Care to join me?" "That's your other husband who goes jogging." "OK." "Woo-hoo!" " Oh, sweetheart, thank you." "Iced tea is served." " Ben tells me you're off bright and early tomorrow morning." " Yes." "We've got a tour of the bank in the afternoon." "And she wasn't about to miss Adam's big prom night." "You'll be back for graduation?" " Yes, of course." "And Gary's big birthday party." "I'm preparing a speech." " Oh, no, Gary." "Spare us." "Not again." " I can hear all that, you know." "Hey, handsome." " Hey, Grandma." "What's happening, Grandpa?" "What is this?" "It's a blindfold." "A cummerbund." "What do I do with it?" " Here, let me." "Alright, thanks." "This thing serve, like, a purpose?" "Yes, but it's been lost in the mists of time." "Oh, don't listen to him." "The cummerbund ties the whole look together." "No tuxedo is complete without it." " Alright." "Thanks, Mom." " Oh, hey!" "Hold on, young man." "I want to get a picture with your mom and dad." "Alright." " Alright!" "Nice big smile, and..." "legacy has been served." "Off with you." "Alright." " See you later." "You look handsome, kid." "Thanks, Pop." " You wore a tuxedo a lot like that to your senior prom." "I remember." " And you wore that beautiful green dress." "Hmm." "I remember that, too." "Gorgeous." "Why, Mr. Walker, I do believe you're flattering me." "I do believe I am." "I'll get that." "Oh!" "It's the bank." "With instructions on how to get into the sublet tomorrow." "Alright, Pops." "Let's finish this up." "It's gonna start to spot." " Oh, good idea." "That was pretty fun tonight, huh?" "Yeah, it was." " Yeah." "You were amazing on that dancefloor." "Hey." "Listen, should we try this date thing again?" "Or just, just call it quits while we're ahead?" "Let's give it another shot." "Oh, yeah?" " Double or nothing." " OK, I like those odds." "You were so on." "I had a really..." "Now, that was a proper date." "Yeah." "So?" "What do you think?" "Eh, not bad." "Only 10 minutes from Target Field." " Shopping." "The baseball stadium." " Oh, right." "This place is spectacular." "I got to admit, I never pictured myself living in a place like this." "And I wouldn't want to." "It's like... living in a glass cage." " Not sure the neighbours are ready to see you running around in your boxers?" "When do you have to be to the bank?" "About an hour." "Hmm..." "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" " ♪ Baby, baby heat me up ♪" "Aw." "Masterpiece." "Thanks, Jeb." "Still the best." "Amen, brother." "I wonder if they'd open up a franchise in Campbell." "Well, they'd have to clone Jeb first." "Good point." "The original Minneapolis Continental Bank opened on this site in 1916, obviously in a different building." "Our corporate offices occupy most of the space, but we like to keep the ground level a working bank, in honour of that history." "This is my office." "You'll notice it's on the ground floor." "Reminds me what our real business here is:" "servicing the customer." "You like ballet." " I do, yes." "Went whenever I could, when I lived in New York." "Hardest-working staff in town." "They're gonna love you." "And this... is your office." "Wow, that's pretty big." "It's a huge job." "Hope that works for you." "Do you know what?" "If it's OK," "I actually think I'd prefer to be out here." "I like to be out in the open, accessible to customers and coworkers." " Oh, OK." "That's actually Kelly's desk, but I don't think it'll take too much convincing to have her switch." "Great." " Well, let me show you the break room." "Ah, that was great." " That was a fabulous dinner." "Almost as good as that Jeb dog." "Love those Jeb dogs." "I'm gonna check out the scores." "So what did you think of Thomas?" "Oh, he seemed like a pretty nice guy." "Yeah." "I just still can't quite believe he sought me out for this job." "'Course he did, babe." "You're a star." "You're just saying that so I won't be mad when you eat the leftovers in the middle of the night." "Can't sneak anything by you." "First day on the job!" "You nervous?" "Yeah, a little." "You know, this is the big leagues." "A baseball metaphor." "There's still hope." "Perfect." "When does your sister get to town?" " Thursday evening." "I wonder what business has her coming to Minneapolis." "I have no idea." "I guess I'll find out." "I don't want to hear about you two painting the town red." "Oh, you won't..." "Hear about it, that is." "I knew that was coming." "Let's talk tonight, OK?" "I want to hear all about your big day." " Yeah, OK." "Hey." "You're gonna be great." "You're gonna be great." "See you in a few days." "Benny!" "Thanks for the lift." " I wouldn't miss seeing this for the world." "You sitting there like Forrest Gump?" "Classic!" "Did you save me a chocolate?" " I should have called Adam for a lift." "Adam, unlike us, has a life." " You hungry?" "Always." "Alright." "So how was Minneapolis, anyway?" "Crowded." "And noisy." "Are you kidding me?" "Next you'll be telling me they had traffic, too." "Bike lanes and hot yoga classes..." "What is with these people and their public displays of healthy lifestyles?" "Hey, Ben, you do know that Rec stands for "Recreation", right?" "Not "Recliner"?" "How 'bout this?" "This looks good." "Ah." "Squeeze in." "Thanks, Betsy." " Thanks, that's quick." "So it's perfect." "Maura's all settled in." "I bet, I bet." "Your keen decorating sense..." "What, do you got a Minnesota Twins poster right in the living room?" "Don't laugh." "Three games out." "Actually, you know what?" "Maybe I should sit over there." "You're gonna be spending a lot of time on your own." "Eating by yourself is one of the biggest things you gotta learn how to do." "So I'd be doing you a big favour." "Adam's still home, and with you locked in arrested development, this will be good practice for me." "You just stay right here." "OK." "It's good to be here." "You know, Cindy always loved this place." "Lot of good memories." "She was a good woman." "Yeah, well... like they say, not a day goes by, right?" " ♪ I'm here in the space ♪" "♪ You made ♪" "♪ Lights that ♪" "♪ Begin to fade ♪" "♪ Just fold back the page ♪" "♪ It's a feeling ♪" "♪ I can't explain ♪" "♪ Broken glass lays ♪" "♪ Under my feet ♪" "♪ And I can't ♪" "♪ Come home ♪" "We're doing good." "Well, I am not." "I can't get the coffee machine to work and the instructions are in Italian." "They all work the same, honey." "You put the water where the water goes, the coffee where the coffee goes, and then you hit the "on" button." "Yes, but where do the coffee and the water go?" "You'll figure it out." "Can't you just teleport yourself here every day and do this for me?" "Besides, your sister's gonna be there tomorrow." "She'll help you figure it out." "Hey, how's work going, Mom?" " [Well." "It's taken me a few days, but I've almost" "Nice." "What are you guys up to today?" " We're having the whole gang ballgame." " Go Twins!" " How 'bout you?" "It's a beautiful day, so I'm gonna go for a run after work." "I love you, Mom." "Bye-bye, baby." "No idea." "Big spot here for the cleanup batter, Trevor Plouffe." "Thanks, brother." " Yeah, buddy." "Show me something here." "Here you go." "Show me where you live, kid." " Way out in front of the changeup..." "Do it when it matters." "Come on, kid, show me what you're made of." "Come on." "Ducks on the pond, baby." "Here we go." "That one's going!" "That one's going!" "So good!" "So good!" "♪" "I see you've discovered the park." "Hey, hey, hey!" "Wow, yeah." "What a great place to run." "It is." "Do you want your privacy, or can I tag along?" "Come on, yeah, join me." "Bet you know some great paths around here." " Like the back of my hand." "What a game!" "They are on a roll now, huh?" "You might be right about that." " Like '91, it's like '91." "No, don't start with the '91!" " Hey, hey!" "Not so fast, boys." "They still have 100 games to play." "Yeah, I've seen more than one pennant drive fizzle before the home stretch." "Oh, out!" "Out!" "You're killing the mojo, here." "Alright, alright." " Thank you!" "See you guys soon, alright?" " See you, my man." "Three in a row!" " Mark my words, this is our year!" "Hey!" "We are going to the next game, Dad." "Hey!" "You don't have to do that." "Well, somebody better, or the health inspector's gonna issue you a citation." "Here, you!" "You can dry." "Thanks." "Welcome." " That was great." "Yep." "Good run always smooths out the rough edges for me." "Oh, I know." "It's really nice to run with someone, too." "Doesn't Ben run with you?" " No, he used to, but... he lost interest." " Hmm." "How's he doing with you being gone?" "Everything seems fine." "Our daughter gets back from college this weekend." "That's good." "It's always great when the kids are around." " Yeah." "How many do you have?" " Two." "They live in St. Paul with their mom." "We're divorced." "Oh, I'm sorry." " No, no, it's great." "She remarried." "He's a terrific guy." "He's great with the kids when I'm not around." "Her and I actually get along better now than we ever did, so..." " Hmm." "Um, I got a business dinner, so..." "See you tomorrow." "Have you washed one dish since Maura moved to Minneapolis?" "I tried." "The pile just kept getting bigger." "I saw it." "It looked like a science experiment." "I don't suppose you iron?" "You are a mess." "Where's your iron?" " Follow me." "Yes, well." "I like this shirt on you, by the way." "See, I haven't seen you wear this literally for a month." "It's been sitting in a bowl." "I'm totally lost." " I'm here to save you." "Do you do silver?" " No." "And... take that." "So what time is your meeting tomorrow?" "Oh, we're meeting for lunch." " So why are you here?" "Are you expanding into the Minneapolis real estate market?" "No, not exactly." "But I will be coming here more often." "Especially now that you have a great place to stay." "Mi casa, su casa." "I can't lie to you, Mo." "I met someone." "He lives here, in the city." "What?" "But I thought that you'd sworn off dating." "I did, but then the brother-in-law of a woman at church was visiting Campbell and she set us up on a double date... which was very sneaky, I might add... so I was very relaxed and amazing and he was fabulous." "And dinner was great and now we're dating." "OK." "I am making more popcorn and you're gonna tell me all about it." "And don't you dare play that card." " How does she see me?" "Hey!" "Just heading out to lunch." "You guys wanna pile in?" "No, we're brown-bagging it today." " No, we need to work on this." "What is it, summer camp schedule?" " Fantasy football, baby." "Football's, like, three months away still." "That's exactly the point." "And I have not been included in this planning, why?" "Aw." "I'll share my sandwich with him." "He won't eat it." "You didn't cut the crust off." "Alright, we definitely want Gronk." "And we gotta get this kid on the Giants..." "Beckham Junior, right?" "Thank you so much for dropping me off." "Bye Sarah." " Hey, sis." "Hey." "So what's it been like, not having Mom here?" "It's been... interesting." "Yeah." "Stop it." "Dad hasn't been missing her?" "Well, yeah, for the first few days or so." "He was calling her and texting her a lot." "But lately, not so much." "He's got a lot of people to hang out with, right?" "Grandma, Grandpa, Doug..." "Sienna... a lot." " Really?" "Yeah, she was over watching the game the other day and she helped him do some laundry." "It was kind of weird." "Really?" " Yeah." "OK, Grant." "I'm gonna grab a drink, need one?" "I don't have a lot of free time." "I basically have to go home every night and do homework to keep up with what's happening at the bank, but there's so much to do in Minneapolis." "Last time I was there, I found out that the Bolshoi is coming to the Cowles for a two-week run." "No." "That's amaz..." " Bolshoi." "A ballet company?" "Russian?" "One of the world's best?" " I knew that." "I raised a Neanderthal." "Nice, Mom." "Nice." "I have never been able to interest him in ballet." "If it's a night I'm there, two please." " Uh, make that three." "I'll do my best." "Hey!" "And this one's coming back with me tomorrow night." "We got a whole week together in the big city." "Mm-hmm." "Gotta get some face time with this lady." "Well and, uh, check out the Minneapolis club scene." "What?" " I think I might have heard you say something there, but..." "Hey, Grandpa." "Charlotte." " It's a pleasure to meet you." "Nice to meet you, too." "Happy birthday!" "Thank you very much." " Made you a CD." "Ah, how sweet." " It's the top 20 songs of the year you were born." " Oh, iTunes has an antiquity section?" "Actually, I like the big band era." "I'm kind of partial to hip-hop myself." "Well, next birthday I promise all hip-hop." "I look forward to it." " Alright." "Hey!" " Hey!" "Sienna was just telling me she's gonna do a SoCal baseball tour next month." "Angels, Padres, Dodgers." " I'm so jealous." "I've told you my retirement fantasy, right?" " Um..." "Listen." "I rent out this..." " Super tricked-out RV, and spend the summer visiting every major league stadium." "All 30 of them!" "Could have just said yes." "Hey, what about Maura?" "Is she on board for this dream?" "Now you're rubbing it in." " Well, a little bit." "Protect me!" " Aww." "OK, you know what?" "You can come along for the ride, if you'd like." "Or come and visit." "That'd be awesome, actually." "Sounds like a fun trip." "Sorry." " I think you are rubbing it in." "♪" " ♪ Who knows what ♪" "♪ Tomorrow brings ♪ - This is your father's and my song."

"Thank you very much for helping me clean up." "I really like your Grandpa." "I bet you he really does listen to hip-hop." "Oh, yeah." "I would not be surprised." "Yeah." "It hit me at your graduation today..." "Hmm?" " You're leaving in a few months and we don't really have that much time to hang out with each other." "You know, when you're away at college, we won't really see each other, except on your breaks." "Things are gonna change." "Well, I don't wanna think about any of that right now." "I just want to enjoy my time with you." "OK?" "Yeah?" " Yeah." "Fun party, huh?" "I can't believe that Adam is out of high school and on his way to college." "Life has a funny way of reminding us how fast time is going by, right?" " I mean, I didn't sign up to end up with some creaky old man." "Oh, yes, you did." "For better or worse." "Remember?" " I think I had my fingers crossed when I agreed to that." "I heard that." "But don't you think we should talk about it?" "Talk about what?" " Adam leaving." "I mean, our lives have revolved around the kids for the last 20 years." "Still do." " But are we gonna be OK?" "When it's just the two of us?" " What does that mean?" "Honestly, it kind of worries me." "That the kids aren't gonna live here anymore?" "No, it's more than that." "I..." "Things are different now." "OK, now you've got me worried too." "Are you saying you're not happy?" "No, but I do feel unsettled sometimes." " That makes sense." "The kids are gonna be gone, you have a new job, you're spending" "I know, but that's temporary." "I just think it's a good idea for us to have some strategies in mind, to help keep us connected." "OK." "What kind of strategies?" " Well, I was thinking maybe we should try new things" "Like what?" " Like... cooking classes, or we could try the opera... definitely would love to go to the ballet with you." "Wine tasting?" "That, I can do." "OK, but what about you?" "There's got to be things that you want to do." "You know I've always dreamed about this cross-country" "RV trip." "Camping, national parks, major league baseball..." "I think we should just keep thinking about it." "Maybe these are bad ideas." "But I just think it is good to be thinking about it and talking about it." "You're right." "It's a big deal;" "we should keep talking about it." "Making a model plane from a kit is fun, but not nearly as cool as making one all by yourself." "That's right, and we're gonna show you guys how to make it from scratch." "OK." "Plays tell stories." "Funny, sad, scary stories... and today, we're gonna write our own plays and these puppets are gonna be our characters." "Your character." "You got a shark-odile." "Right?" "Yeah, I know." "Mm-hmm." "That's right." "That's gonna be a scary story." "And I think it's a good moment to have a homemade cookie." "Take one!" "Take it home to your kids." "Julie." "How's it going?" "And then the other thing we can do is actually invite them in..." " Maura?" "Can I see you a sec?" "Yes, of course." "OK." "Here you go." "Have a seat." " OK." "So, how are you liking it here so far?" "I love it." "It's a great team." "Well, from what I hear, they feel the same about you." "Oh, I'm so glad." " So this came in today." "It's from our branch manager, the one you're subbing for." "Oh, how is she?" "Enjoying her new baby?" " A lot." "Yeah." "So much so that she's decided not to return." "Oh." "I'm going to have to replace her." "Well, I'd be happy to stay on a little longer while you try to find someone." " Actually, I already have." "I'm looking at her." "Permanently." "Well, how would that work?" " Well, we'd have to move here." "perfect timing, right?" " Perfect timing for what?" "How things are about to change for us." "Sweetie, we talked about going to the ballet." "I know." "We don't have to make a decision right away." "I'm sure Thomas will give us" "OK, yeah." "Let's, um..." "Let's talk about it." "Hey, look, either way, this is really exciting news." "Thanks, sweetheart." "Bye." " What's up, Pops?" "That was your mother and she was offered a big job promotion." "And she wants us to move to Minneapolis." "For real." "Oh!" "That's a big life change, that's for sure." "You can say that again." " It's a state job, though, so your benefits are transferable, you get to keep your seniority..." " Yeah, but what if there is no job up in Minneapolis?" "We can't take a financial hit like that with two kids in college next year." "Besides, this is home, you know?" "I mean, I never thought about living anywhere else." "Alright." "Hey, I don't mean to make this all about me, but it feels like Maura's trying to shoehorn in some imaginary version of me to make it work for her." "Sure, but why are you telling me?" "Why don't you tell her?" "I think she's worried about what life is gonna be like with Adam gone next year and just the two of us in the house." "That's understandable." "I've been alone in a house with you." "It's scary!" "It just feels like there's something else going on, too." "Like what?" "Feels like we're not connecting." "It's different now." "It's like, you know, we're drifting apart or something." "Yeah, well, drifting apart..." "You do remember who you're talking to, right?" "I would give everything for one more minute..." "one more second with Cindy." "You know, if things aren't going well with Maura, then just work it out." "Man, she's a great gal, you know?" "Work it out." "Come on." "Or I will punch you into the middle of next week." "Wouldn't be the first time." "Boom!" "You always had it coming." "So, what are we thinking?" "I think Minneapolis is kinda cool." "Uh..." "I don't know." "I mean, it feels weird to leave Campbell, right?" "This is where we're from." "This is where we grew up, this is where my friends are, this house..." "Dude, you're leaving anyway." " Well, yeah, but that's just for college." "I just hope I can find a job." "I've made some calls and looked in county administration." " Well, that could change." " It could, but" "I'm a supervisor and those jobs aren't easy to come by." "Honey, I'm not going to say this isn't going to be a seismic change for you." "Or for all of us, because it is." "Yeah, but change could be good." "Right, Dad?" "Yeah, but when you think about it, why would we move to Minneapolis?" "We don't know anybody there." " Yeah, exactly." " But I'm getting to know people through the bank." "I mean, there's no guarantee a" "We just have to hope that it will." "Hope is not going to pay their college tuition next year." "Ben, you know how substantial my raise is..." "That's not gonna be enough with the cost of living in Minneapolis." "It's very expensive." "So we'll downsize." " To what?" "An apartment?" "But I don't want to live in some high-rise." "We don't have to live in one." " Well, we certainly won't be" "I'm just looking at the big picture, here." "That's all." " So am I." "I'm not sure you are." "You know, you got this job offer, this promotion, the big bonus..." "I think you're a little dazzled." " Dazzled?" "Little bit." "You know what I mean." "No, I don't know what you mean." "In fact, all I'm hearing from you is "no."" "Could you guys give us a minute?" "Yeah." " Yeah." "Look." "I'm trying to get my head around this whole idea." "You said it yourself:" "seismic." "It's a big deal and" "I'm not completely on board with your plan." "When you and I were first married, it was clear we needed to have two jobs to raise a family." "So I went out and I got the best job I could find, which was a bank teller for minimum wage." "And I hated it." " Yeah, I remember." "And now I run that bank and I love it." "The fact that I've even been offered this job in Minneapolis is unbelievable to me." "I'd be a fool to pass it up." "What are we gonna do?" "Maybe there's some kind of middle ground here." "What do you mean?" " Well, maybe we just keep doing what we're doing." "I can continue to go back and forth to Minneapolis." "What are you talking about?" "Us living apart?" "Well, a lot of couples do it." "It's called "married but living separately."" "I don't like the sound of that." "Neither do I, but I can't pass up this job." "And if you don't want to leave yours, then what choice do we have?" ""Married but living separately"?" "That's a thing?" "Apparently." "I don't think they can handle that." "Yeah, we can't let that happen." "Yeah, we can't let that happen." "So are you keeping the condo?" " Oh, no." "It's way too expensive for us." "I'll find something less high-end." "Is Ben OK with all this?" "No, not really." " Hmm..." "Hmm what?" "Hmm, he spends a lot of time with Sienna Halverstein." "Sienna Halverstein." "She's always had a thing for him." " Oh, come on." "She made the biggest play for him in high school and lost to you." " That was, like, 100 years ago." "Maybe not to her." "If Ben wanted to have a... whatever... with Sienna Halverstein, he doesn't need me to be out of town to do it." " No, but it makes it a heck of a lot easier." "Hey, you know that open invitation for you to come and stay with me in Minneapolis anytime you want?" "It is now closed." " Look." "I had a husband who cheated on me." "I'm a little paranoid about that stuff." " I know." "But Ben is not Warren." "No, he's not." "Alright, I apologize." "You've gotta get a housekeeper." "I know how to clean my house, Mom." "Yes, but will you?" "Good point." "I could always have you come over and help out." "Oh, no you won't." "I was your housekeeper for 20 years." "I've served my time." "Ah." "You're awful quiet over there." "Have, uh... have you and Maura really thought this through?" "More of a work-in-progress." "See, when I was in the service," "I saw what extended periods of separation could do to a couple." "It ruined a lot of marriages." "Maura isn't going off to war, Gary." "I know that." "But you don't see someone every day, you start to lose touch." "You start to forget about them." "This is the twenty-first century." "What with email, Skype and texting," "Ben and Maura will be in constant contact." "I know that, but it's not the same as being together." "Dad, Dad, Dad." "I know there's risks, but it's not like we're doing this on a permanent basis." "The house going to pot on my watch, now there is some real danger." "I fear the worst." " OK." "Well, joke all you want, guys." "But what you and Maura are trying to do here is very challenging." "Even for a couple as strong as you are." "I hear you, I hear you, Dad." "You know, I'm just trying to get my head around all of these changes." "OK." "We're here for you." "Thank you." "Hey, did you talk to Mom?" " Yeah, I did." "Um, I'm going to spend the summer in the city with her." "OK, well, you keep your eyes on Mom and I'll keep mine on Dad." "Deal." "I left my phone upstairs." "You know, my mom says this place is gonna go to pot without you." " She's probably right." "Sorry about that." "So we're really gonna do this." "Yes, we are." "Big job, big step." "It is." " What we're doing shines a clear light on things." "How do you mean?" "Just that we're different." "We've always been different, but maybe those differences matter more after all these years." "Hey." " Hey." "Alrighty." " You have a great time." "Text me when you get there, OK?" " Yeah, I will." "Love you." "Ben." "Everything's gonna be OK." "I hope so." "Take care of your Mama." " Love you." "Yay!" "Adam!" "Yo!" "Time for work." "Hey, what's up?" "Upstairs." " You got it." "Hey, I have an idea." "Seeing as you two are batching it, why don't I have the Walker men over for dinner tonight?" "Sounds like a nice idea." " I'm actually going to the movies with Charlotte tonight." "OK." "Well, how about you?" " Sure." "Of course." " Cool." "Better yet, why don't we go to the diner?" "I really want a piece of pie." "Yeah, let's do that." " Sounds like a plan." "Adam!" "What's going on?" "I don't know, Jacks." "Wish I knew." "Look, man, my parents are divorced." "It's really not a big deal." "You were totally freaked out when your parents split up." "You remember that?" "And Mom and Dad are not getting a divorce." "They're just living separately at the moment, that's all." " Separately." "Yeah." " That might be what they're calling it." "It's a trial separation any way you cut it." "That's how it started off with my parents." "It's all good, though, man." "You'll get used to it." " No, I won't, 'cause it's not going to happen." "I'm gonna get some more bait, alright?" "Alright." " You mean, like a date" "Yeah, but Mom's only been gone, like, a couple days." "I know." "No." "Hey, you know, what if I hide Dad's keys?" "Dude, that's lame." "Alright, well, fine." "Then you come up with a better idea." "I don't know." "I mean, I guess we gotta tell Mom." "Whoa, you're..." "you're gonna tell her?" "I have to finesse it." "Alright." "I will talk to you later." "Hi." " Hi!" "So, I know you like ballet." " Oh!" "I love the ballet." "I've been trying to get tickets to the Bolshoi but they're all sold out." "Oh." " I know." " Although, as it happens, my friend sits on the board of the Hennepin Theatre Trust." "Wow." " He snagged me a pair of primo tickets for tomorrow's matinee." " Lucky you." "Do you want to be my plus one?" " What?" "I mean, yes, I would love to, but don't we have to work?" "Uh, I talked to the boss." "He said we could have the afternoon off." "Cassis." " What?" "'Cause I've been coming here my whole life." "The food, the menu, nothing ever changes." "Well, why mess with perfection?" "Perfection?" "Really?" "Bit of a stretch." "Thank you." " Thank you." "OK, then what's wrong with the tried and true?" "Because it's nice to mix it up every once in a while." "I mean, please." "Change is good, right?" "Um, it can be, but I don't know, what's wrong with things that are familiar?" "I guess." "I suppose." "There's a reason why I came back to Campbell after college." "It's that I..." "I like it here." "It's home." "And, and, everything" "I need is here." "It's true." "Time for pie?" " Yes." "I forgot to tell you!" "It looks like I get to see the Bolshoi after all." "Oh, really?" " Tomorrow afternoon." "Thomas had an extra ticket." "You're going with Thomas?" " This one looks great." "Check this one out." "It's in my price range, it's in the right neighbourhood, near the office..." "What do you think?" "Looks nice, huh?" "Yeah, that's OK, I guess." " Hmm..." "You OK?" "You seem sort of down since I got home from work." "This isn't home, Mom." "OK, now you really have to tell me what's going on." "No, it's..." "I don't know, nothing really, I just..." "I'm really excited for you, Mom." "About this new job, it's super cool." "I'm excited, Adam is excited, but I just..." "I don't know." "I'm kind of worried." "Worried about what?" " Um, the future of our family?" "Honey, you don't have to worry about that." "We may look a little different now, but we're still the same family." "Yeah, but not if, like, you and Dad keep drifting away from each other." "Then it's gonna be a family where there's, like," "Dad and Sienna and then..." " Dad and Sienna?" "Yeah." "Adam told me not to say anything." "Say anything about what?" " I don't know, you know, that Dad and Sienna really like each other and they have a lot in common, so they hang out a lot when you're not around." "Yeah, well they work together." " Yeah, I just, I talked to Adam earlier and he said that they're going on a date tonight, so..." "A date." "Oh, I doubt that." "OK, fine." "Call him, then." "Hi, Lacey." "Say hi to her for me." " Sienna says hi." "Hi, Ben." "It's me." "I'm just using Lacey's phone." "Hi, honey." "How's Minneapolis?" "Good." "Good!" "Good, we're good." "So... you... you're out to dinner with Sienna?" "Great." "And is Adam there with you?" "Uh... no." "No, I was just calling to say hi." "Good." "Yeah, we're good." "We were just looking at real estate listings." "Hey, I gotta run." "The food's here." "I'll call you later." "Bye." "OK, bye." "Yeah, they're just..." "No, they're just out to dinner." "It's not a date." "'K." "Yeah, well, I don't know." "He's still not home." "Well, at least I've got Mom worried about Dad and Sienna." "But she's going to the ballet with Thomas tomorrow." "Lacey, what are we gonna do?" "You know, this is how it started with Jackson's parents, right?" "Don't say that." " No, it's true..." "Ah, hang on." "Hey, look, I gotta go." "Dad's home." "Hey, son." "You're up late." "How was your date?" "With Sienna?" "That wasn't a date." " Mom's going a date, too." "With some guy named Thomas." "What are you talking about?" " They're going to the ballet." "Tomorrow." "Well, for once in my life, I take no comfort in being right." "Maybe not this time." "They have a lot in common." "Like what?" "Baseball?" " Yeah, like baseball." "Baseball, which is Ben's favourite sport." "A sport which you have never bothered to learn one thing about, by the way." "Because I have no interest in it, by the way." "Look, I, I gotta go." "So what do you know about this guy?" "He's a sharp dresser..." "a little slick for me, but I guess that's, you know, par for the course with a job like that." "Oh, and he, uh, he likes the ballet." "So pretty much the opposite of you." "Pretty much." " Which can be real attractive when you've been with the same person for 20 years." "Dad, you could say that about any couple that's been together that long, right?" "I don't know." "I don't know what to do, I guess." "I just didn't see it coming." "Well, don't jump to conclusions." "And what is it with you and the ballet, anyway?" " Please." "Don't tell me you like it." " What?" "Beautiful, supremely fit women practically floating in the air?" "What's not to like?" "You haven't come within 100 miles of the ballet." "You don't know everything about me." "And a guy can evolve, can't he?" "You should take another look at it." "And if it's important to your wife, maybe it should be important to you." "♪" "It's been so long since I've seen dance of that calibre, except on TV." " They were in top form today." "I'm so happy I got a chance to see them." "Thank you so much for thinking of me." " It's my pleasure." "Can I ask you something?" " Of course." "Why me?" "Out of all the senior candidates you have working at Continental." "Why would you pick me?" "Well, your track record speaks for itself." "I've had the opportunity to observe your extraordinary customer service skills, firsthand." "And you and I are kindred spirits." "We are?" " Mm-hmm." "You started from the bottom and worked your way up, just like me." "You probably wouldn't have heard of the college I went to." "I didn't get my MBA and I started as a teller, just like you." "Wow." " Yeah, you're a scrapper," "Maura." "Just like me." "So who knows?" "Maybe someday you'll have my job." "Very much doubt that." "Hey!" "You treated me to something special, let me treat you." " ♪ Baby, baby heat me up ♪" "♪ Because I'm cooking for you ♪" "Jeb Dogs!" "Um..." " Not hungry?" "No, not particularly." " Oh." "You sure?" "You ever tried these things?" "They are the greatest." "To be honest, that's not my cup of tea." "But thank you for the offer." " Oh..." "That's OK." "OK, well, I'm thatta way." "OK, well, see you at work tomorrow." "Thank you, again." " Pleasure." "Arm out." "Perfect." "Chin up." "First position." "Very good." "Second position." "Yes." "Good, good, good." " Very good." "Plié." "Perfect." "This is too weird." " What's weird?" "I was just talking to my Dad about ballet." "That is weird." "Maybe it's just in the air." " Looks hard." "No, it's not." "Hi." " Hi." "Uh, Diana..." "Ben." "Ben's the boss." "Nice to meet you, Boss." " Pleasure." "Hi, girls." "I think maybe we should teach him some of the basics." "Oh, no, no, no..." " Yes, yes, yes, yes." "Come on, come on." "OK, we're gonna teach Ben." "We're gonna show him..." " I remember him." "Yes?" "He's good, so watch." "I know he's good, I can feel it." "We're gonna show him ballet posture." "OK?" "So show him how to keep your chin... keep your chin high... and now, plié." "Plié." "Keep your chin high." "Arm on the bar, shoulders down." "That's hard for me to do." " Chest down." "Back straight." " Chest down, back straight?" "And graceful, like a swan." "Graceful like a swan." "OK." " Graceful, like a swan." "Plié." "Get that..." " No, no, get back in position." "I'm warning you." " This is for the family album." "This is for the family album, Dad!" "Trevor, one hit, two trips to the plate today." "Hit high in the air in left field!" "YES!" "Brought his A game today, right, bud?" "That double play last night was pure choreography, but that walk-off homer was brilliant!" "Yes!" "Twins rule this year." "Hi!" " Hi." "Hi." "If I buy you and your friends a round, will you do me a favour?" "Sure." " Explain that to me?" "You want me to explain TV to you?" " No... baseball." "The whole double-play thing." " Where are you from?" "Minnesota." " You're from Minnesota and you don't know baseball?" "OK, maybe this was a bad idea." " No, no, no, it's... it's cool, it's cool, it's cool." "Um... what would you like to know?" "Well, everything." "Um..." "OK, so, those numbers at the bottom of the screen, underneath that player..." " The batter." " The batter." "What do they mean?" " That's called the batting average." "And what's a batting average?" " What's a batting average...?" "This is gonna be a lot more work than I thought, boys." "Thank you very much, Diana." " Good job, Baryshnikov." "We'll have to work on your form later." " Very funny." "Don't forget your artwork, OK?" "Hey, she was terrific today." "Hey." " Hey." "Do you mind if I offer you a little..." "Well, advice sounds too schoolteacher-y, so how about just..." "something to think about?" "Fire away." " OK." "I don't know exactly what's happening with you and Maura, this whole" ""married but living separately" thing, but just be careful." " Careful about what?" "Great guys are few and far between." "Trust me on that." "I am..." "I am drowning in the dating pool." "Some of my girlfriends have already called to get the 411 on you." " What 411?" "Oh, wow." "You are really clueless when it comes to women." " Oh, thank you very much." "Did you notice at all that Diana was flirting with you?" "That was not flirting." "It was definitely flirting." "And this is my point." "You've been with Maura for so long, and so devoted to her..." "God bless you..." "you are completely unaware of how vulnerable you are." " What do you think, someone's gonna swoop down and try to steal my heart?" " I bet you five bucks Diana's gonna call me later and ask if you're single." "Seriously doubt that." " OK, you know what?" "What you and Maura have?" "A lot of us envy that." "And if you two really are drifting apart, and I, I hope you're not, then so be it." "But if you aren't... just, you know, just watch your back." "OK?" "Gotcha." "Alright, dinner in an hour." "Uh, it takes that long to nuke a pizza?" " No nuke tonight, kiddo." "Dad's gonna roll the dice and actually cook something." "Whoa, I'm pretty sure you need a license for that, though." " Attempt at humour noted." "Set the table." " Nice." "Hi." " Hey." "I've been trying to reach you, a million times..." " Yeah." "Yeah, yeah, no, I know." "Um..." "I've just been... kinda busy." " Busy?" "Adam, come on." "What's going on?" "I don't know." "Maybe..." "I think that we should give each other some space." "OK..." "Why?" "I mean, you said it yourself." "I'll be leaving in a couple of months and everything's gonna change." " But you're here now." " Yeah, but what's the point of being in a relationship when you're just going to eventually break up?" "But we don't have to." "This is about your mom and dad, isn't it?" "No, it's..." "I know that they're going through some stuff right now and it's maybe confusing for you." "I don't know your parents all that well, but from what I've seen, they're pretty amazing." "They laugh, they're affectionate, they listen to each other." "I wish my parents were like that." "If hanging out with me is too much for you right now, then... then that's cool." "I only want to be with you if you want to be with me." "Hey, son." " I don't want to talk about it right now, Dad." "♪" "Hey, Lace." "I'm back." "You will never guess what I have been doing for the last hour and a half." "I have been learning the basics of baseball." "You know, I never appreciated what a beautiful, elegant..." "What are you doing?" "Going back to Campbell." "There's a bus that leaves at 10 tomorrow morning." "After that, probably" "Seattle for the rest of the summer." "Seattle?" " Yeah, my friend Trish" "McAuliffe said I could stay with her." " Why?" "Mom, I'm not gonna stick around and watch this trainwreck that you and Dad are headed" "Sweetheart." " Mom, don't "sweetheart" me." "Honey..." "We're not heading for a trainwreck." "Yes, you are." "And you know that." "Look, Mom, I'm so proud of you." "You and Dad." "I mean, this new job that you're being offered, which you completely deserve, and Dad's County Employee of the Year Award." "But this family?" "I mean, that's the best thing that you guys have done." "And it's the best thing you guys will ever do." "'K?" "You can't just let that die." "Look, when you guys got married, you guys made a promise to each other." "And when you did that, you made a promise to all of us." "Honey..." "Come here." "Hey." "I heard you and Charlotte yesterday." " Dad, come on." "You shouldn't have been listening to us." " Well, you weren't exactly whispering." "You're a lot like me, Adam." "You don't like change, and instead of confronting it directly, sometimes you run away." "Run from it?" "Is that what you're doing with Mom?" "I guess so." "I don't like my life disrupted, so I go along with this" ""married, living separately" thing, when in reality I think the entire idea stinks." "OK, so then why are you doing it?" "Because it's your mom's time." "She's worked really hard to get here, and when you're married, when you love somebody, you step up to the plate." "You have to make sacrifices." "You have to do things outside your comfort zone." "I like Charlotte." "I think you two make a cute couple." "You kind of remind me of your mother and I." "Yeah?" "I think so." "Hey." " Hey." "Can you hold down the fort for a while?" "I've gotta run out." "Yeah, of course." " Thanks." "Listen, I know this may sound sappy, but I just wanted to say thanks for being such a good friend." "You're welcome." "And it's not sappy, I think it's great." "Cool." "Hey, Jacks." "You mind giving him a ride home tonight?" "Yeah, sure." "He could roll with me." "Thanks." " Thanks." "Hey, what's up?" "I, uh, just... gotta go take care of some business." "Are you stepping up to the plate?" "Going outside my comfort zone." "Aw, man." "Married people are so weird." "Hey, um... listen, can I borrow your car at lunch?" "There's something I really need to do." "Hey." " Hey." "It's for you." "What's this?" " It's my letter of resignation." "Yeah, I'm moving to Minneapolis." "You're what?" " I'm on my way up there to tell" "Maura right now." " Wow." "You sure about this?" " Yeah." "You know, my marriage, my family is more important than any job, right?" "This whole "married, living separately" thing, it's a recipe for disaster, I think." "Yeah, listen." "Look, I know this has been a tough decision and this is probably the last thing you want to hear, but..." "I think you made the right choice." "Thanks, buddy." "Means a lot." " Took you long enough." "Look, I'm gonna need you to clear the area, now, though." "City workers only." "Hey." "Come up for a Twins game." "Yeah." "Yeah, you got it." "Um... hey." "No, look, just... just wait." "Just give me five minutes." "Please." "Can you sit with me?" "Can you sit down please?" "OK." "OK, um..." "OK, OK, look." "You were right." "About everything." "There's, there's some stuff that's happening in my life right now and..." "I don't know, some of it is really confusing." "And it's making me say and do such stupid things that I don't even mean." "But... but Charlotte." "Listen, the truth is..." "I love spending time with you." "And I'm sorry if I hurt you." "Have you had lunch?" "Have you eaten?" "OK, well, I was making myself some food." "Why don't I make some for two?" "I would love that." "May I help you?" "Yes, I'm looking for Maura Walker." "Sorry, she's not here." "Um, do you know where she is?" "I'm Ben, her husband." " Oh..." "Kelly." " Pleasure." "She left this morning with Mr. Hardison." "Thomas." " That's right." "They left a few hours ago." "Do you know when they'll be back?" "I don't." "OK, thank you." "I'll give her a call." "Nice meeting you." " You, too." "Nice meeting you." " You, too." "Ben?" "Hi." " Thomas." "What are you doing here?" "I came to see Maura." "I heard she was out with you." "At breakfast she was, then I had meetings." "You know where she is now?" "She didn't tell you." "Tell me what?" " Maura resigned this morning." "She's gone back to her old job in Campbell." "She's on her way there now." "Why?" " She did it for you." "That's weird." "Alright." "Thanks for the ride, man." "Yeah, man." "No doubt." "Hey, you... you guys are back?" " No, I'm a hologram." "What's going on?" " Family dinner." "Are you serious?" "Honey!" " Mom!" "I'm so happy to see you." " Yeah!" "What are you..." " Where's your dad?" "Did he come home with you, or..." " No, no." "He left this morning." "Left?" "For where?" " Minneapolis." " Minneapolis?" "Yeah." " Why did he go there?" " He went there to see you." "It's Dad." "Ben?" "Where are you?" "But I'm here, at home."

"The man doesn't like Jeb Dogs." "Guy didn't stand a chance, huh?" "Uh, uh." " Ha!" "Hey, I just wanted you to know that I'm starting to take a liking to this whole ballet thing." "You are not." " OK, let's just say I'm not hating it as much as I thought I would." "OK, that I can believe." " No, seriously, baseball is a lot like ballet without all the boring music."

"It's Camden Yards, Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park." " Oh." "Not too bad, though." "You're one for three." "I just can't wait 'til you guys come see me in New York." "We got ballet tickets for all of us when we get to the city." "What?" " Swan lake, at Lincoln Centre." "Dad... ballet!" "You're so evolved." "Eh, he's a work in progress." "I heard that."

"And in Boston, we got tickets to the" "Yankees versus the Red Sox, which apparently is a big deal." " Yes, it is!" " I'll say." "And then, your father's gonna teach me how to keep a box score."
