Unbelievable.
What's wrong? Greg Davis quit.
Sydney's coach.
He's got some new project at work or some crap.
That happens.
Not three days before the season starts, leaving all the kids in the lurch.
That's ridiculous.
The work thing, by the way, utterly bogus.
Totally Why? Greg Davis is hyper-competitive.
He just wants to coach the stars.
He doesn't want to coach the loser team.
Syd's on the loser team? Yeah.
Athletically challenged.
Well, she doesn't need that kind of energy around her anyway.
Well She's better off without it.
This is a good thing.
I agree.
She needs some kind of energy, Julia.
They have to have a coach.
Well How about if I do it? Yeah.
What? Oh, you're serious.
Okay.
Yeah, well, why not? Yeah, yeah.
And you don't think it's gonna be an issue with the What? You know, with the team, if they may not Win? That's it, yeah.
We both know you hate to lose, so No.
I would love to coach a team of rejects Sure, you would.
Of losers.
Yeah.
You know why? Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Because it pisses me off that the world is divided up that way.
At 5-years-old? Yeah.
Yeah.
No! I'm not just saying, "Okay, I'll do it.
" No.
You're getting right in there.
I am gonna give these kids a great coaching experience that isn't about winning.
Right.
No, no.
Yes.
It wouldn't be with you.
God, no.
It's gonna be about having a good time.
Yep.
Hey, Syd, guess who's gonna be your new soccer coach this season? Who? Hi there, I am looking for the practically new laptop at the low, low price.
Oh, look.
That would be this one.
Okay.
That's, like, Ten years? How can you tell? What do you It's huge.
Newer computers are slimmer.
It's just It's like a bait and switch.
Well, that one's a year old, but if your son wants you to see something slimmer, fine.
Why don't you just look on Craigslist? It'll work better.
How's your mother gonna look on Craigslist if she doesn't have a computer? Excuse me, can I see these? The cuff links with the z on them? That's incredible.
Do you know where these came from? I don't remember, honestly, but they're very nice.
Very elegant.
You like them? Hey, Mom, I think that one up there has maybe a possibility for running Photoshop.
Would you mind if I took a picture of these? Sure.
Thank you.
Isn't the computer more important than these cuff links? Why Yeah, it's just weird, you know.
Your grandfather has a pair just like these.
I mean, exactly.
You saw? Yeah, who we just saw, because his thumbs were like this.
That's hot.
No, they were.
It was like on one hand.
Really miniature like? Yeah, but I think that's what used to happen to families.
Oh, boy.
Hey.
Hi.
Amber.
What, do you work here or something? Yeah, you know, serving the ruling class.
As usual.
So, can I get you guys something? Um Uh, how about two beers? Is that cool? Steve, don't, like, put her on the spot.
Unbelievable, Steve.
You know, you got a lot of nerve, you kids coming in here.
Just this once, okay, guys? You're amazing.
Thank you.
I know.
I'll see you in a sec.
Be careful.
Do you want me to pay for that? No, it's fine, dude.
I got it.
Cool.
What are you guys doing here? Yeah, I don't know.
He said we should have a picnic on the golf course, which is kind of cute.
Why would you have a picnic on the golf course? That's kind of weird, isn't it? It's probably code for, like What? Doing it.
I'm serious.
I think it's, like, a thing.
'Cause I saw couples going out there with, like, blankets and bottles and stuff.
You know what? He probably doesn't even know about it.
It's probably, like, an urban legend or something like that.
Yeah.
You know? Yeah, that's a blanket.
That's a blanket in that bag.
Good luck.
Hey, Dad.
I'm on my way to recharge my batteries.
Dad, Dad, Dad, wait.
Do you still have your cuff links that you had? Those black ones with the gold z on them? Why? I was at a pawn shop the other day, and I swear I saw ones that looked exactly like yours.
Well, what were you doing in a pawn shop? I'm looking for a laptop for my Photoshop class.
But do you still have them? Look, I took a picture.
They look exactly the same, I swear.
Oh, there could be, like, a thousand of those.
I don't know.
I I don't know, Dad.
Do you still have yours? I mean Ah, a pawn shop, yeah.
That figures.
Don't tell your mom, but I, uh, I did I lost them at the gym about six months ago.
Promise me you're not going to tell her.
Promise? Yeah, I promise.
Okay.
Okay.
- Promise what? I won't tell you Dad's been drinking out of the carton again.
Huh.
He's a barbarian.
You rat.
A host is someone who has a friend over.
That is exactly right.
And do you know what the first rule of being a good host is? Sharing.
That's right, sharing.
And also letting your guest choose what they want to do.
Okay.
So, these people, the Genatasios, are coming over, and they have a son, David, right around your age.
Uh-huh.
And I work with David's dad.
So, I mean, it would be nice if we all did our best to get along.
Okay.
So, let's say you and David are playing with your bugs, and David decides that he doesn't want to play with your bugs anymore.
He wants to play basketball.
What are you gonna do? Play basketball.
Right, right.
Even if you want to Still play with bugs.
Exactly.
Okay? Can we stop talking about this now? Sure.
You owe me a sticker for this.
You got it.
Cool.
This is awesome, Brian.
Hey, team, this season a miracle is going to happen.
We are going to win every single game.
No, we're not.
- We are, because we will define winning not by what's on the scoreboard, but by each of us getting better at our special skills, by putting them together into a team, and by having fun while we're doing it.
Okay, let's give Brian a hand.
Good work.
Is there anyone else that has a special skill they want to share? I do.
Okay.
Okay, Marcus.
That looked difficult.
Look, Haddie, I I don't want to force you into anything that you don't want to do.
I love you.
I'm sorry for being weird tonight.
No, it's It's cool.
We can, uh We can try for next week.
What? Well, that's what we talked about.
You said, what you indicated Are you telling me that I led you on? No.
No, I'm saying I'm saying I care about you.
So whenever you're ready, I'll wait.
Steve.
What? I I'm not going to just, like, ripen like a piece of fruit.
That's not what I'm saying.
I don't I don't think that this whole thing is working.
What whole thing? What are you talking about? Like, us.
Why would you even say that? I mean, you're just upset, obviously, right now, and I'm upset.
I'm not just upset.
So one minute we're going from almost having sex to, what, a breakup? Steve.
What is your deal? Steve.
Okay, listen.
I care about you.
I really do, a lot.
I just I I feel like this is what I have to do right now.
I have to go.
Hey.
Hey.
You okay? Yeah, perfect.
Haddie.
KRISTINA: Honey, that outlet upstairs is Are you okay, babe? She's not okay.
Hey, did you talk to her? Did you find out why they broke up? I don't know, honey.
They just did.
That's all I could get out of her.
Well, was it him? Was it her? I mean, who broke up with who here? She broke up with him.
Good.
What? That's good, isn't it? How is that good? I don't know.
I feel really bad for both of them.
They were really cute together, you know? Hey, don't forget, the Genatasios are coming over tonight.
Yeah, I know, you've reminded me, like, 16 times.
Why is that? Let's see.
Do I embarrass you socially? Hey, hey, I just think that we're really gonna get along with these people, okay? Max could have a new friend in David.
You know, these people are cool.
You know, they have potential to become top five friends here.
Top five.
Yeah.
Mmm-hmm.
Top five friends.
That's pretty cool, honey.
Yes, it is.
I'm going to the market.
You need anything? Mmm-hmm, could you get me a six-pack of a different kind of intelligence? Okay.
What kind would you like? I don't know.
Just some kind that I don't have.
Whatever kind it takes to do this.
I can't do it.
The professor already gave me an incomplete, and that was just out of the kindness of his heart.
Is this the manual? Mmm-hmm.
Have you started reading it? I mean, look at it.
It's so big.
It's, like, in a foreign language.
Well, if you don't start, you're never gonna succeed.
I think you're afraid of trying.
Now I'm afraid of trying? You always said in high school I was afraid of failing.
I mean, which is it? It's your life.
Well, I'm just saying, Mom.
You know, what do you know about failure? I'm acquainted with failure.
No, Mom, real failure.
Not like, "Oh, my organic pastry dough didn't rise.
" I mean, real failure.
Sure you don't need anything? Hey, Mom, I was just kidding.
I know.
Mom! Okay.
I mean, we're outside, and it sounds really nice and sexy, but it was cold, and there was, like, a rock digging into my back.
Oh, dude, yeah.
There you go, man.
You don't want that.
It's a bad vibe.
Amber, that's not what it was.
Like, you're right.
I just I want it to be working, but it wasn't and, like, it just wasn't good.
So, you broke Dude, watch it.
I know.
Unbelievable.
But, so, you broke up with him? Basically.
It was like I wasn't even with a person anymore.
I was with a stupid cliché.
Dude, I'm so sorry, but believe me, if there's one thing I know, you don't want to cash in your V chip with a cliché or a jerk or a douche.
So, I guess that rules out Steve.
You did the right thing for sure, man.
Really? Okay.
Thank you.
Shall we? Yeah.
Excuse me.
Hi.
I was in here the other day.
I don't know if you remember.
I was looking at the cuff links.
Couldn't resist them, huh? Well, actually, I, um I would really like to know who brought those in.
I can't tell you that.
No, you said that the other day.
I understand.
Believe me.
But, see, my dad thinks they might have been stolen from his gym.
Lady, it's policy.
Please.
Jewelry.
Cuff links.
That item was pawned by Zeek Braverman.
That's my dad.
Well, look, he had some other items.
I was gonna put them out today.
Um It's probably a cash flow thing.
He'll be back for them.
How much? Kick it! Kick it! That's it.
That's it, guys.
Don't give up.
All right.
Yes! All right.
All right.
Good game, guys.
Huddle up.
Huddle up, huddle up.
That was a good game.
We're gonna have practice again, so I love your kids.
They are so cute.
Hi.
Oh, well, if you came here scouting, forget about it.
No, I I came to see if you wanted to take one of my players.
We have so many good players.
If you take one, it would, you know, make the game more fun for everyone.
Oh, yeah.
If you're not interested in the ghost spider, we could look at weevil snout beetles.
Weevil snout beetles are part of the largest family in the animal kingdom.
There are over 2,500 species in southern Africa alone.
It's a complete competition.
Liar.
It's over.
ADAM: It's a little premature, but I did it, man.
It's all you.
He's David Hasselhoff.
I want you guys to know the things I'm about to do with this blue cheese should probably be illegal.
Fiendish.
- What? - Let it get all Let it caramelize.
Hi, hon.
It gets hot quick.
Hey, Max, what's up? I asked if he wanted to play with other bugs.
Yeah? With what? Bugs? Uh, you guys, I'm I'm sorry, but David says that he's not feeling so well.
Oh, you're Oh, no! Head or tummy? 'Cause we have - Oh, no, no, no, no.
It's okay.
It's just If he's contagious, you know what they say about the first 24 hours, and we should probably Babe, we just We just got here.
The food, I mean, it looks delicious.
Yeah.
Oh, that's okay.
We're gonna make it another day.
Yeah.
No worries.
BEN: Okay.
Adam, I'll see you at work.
Thank you, thank you.
See you at work.
And we'll try to hit Bolinas sometime.
Sounds good, buddy.
I hope it wasn't something that I cooked, because No, no, no, no, no.
It happens, you know kids.
All right, bye.
Bye.
Thanks.
Hey.
See you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
It looks delicious.
Thanks.
Max, you want me to look at some bugs with you? Your shoelace, buddy.
That kid was not sick.
I know.
You know, I can't believe they would just leave like that.
You know, we hadn't even brought out the damn apple crisp yet.
You made apple crisp.
Honey, we did the same thing to the Lessings, remember? Same thing.
Well, look, so what? Now we're relegated to the short bus? We have to hang out with people like the Lessings instead of cool people like the Genatasios? Well, maybe it's not about us right now, okay? Maybe it's about Max.
Well, can't it be about us just a little bit? Hmm? So, what do you think? Round three? I'm gonna need to hydrate or something before.
No.
That's not what you were talking about? No, I was not talking about that.
I meant about your sister asking about Jabbar playing on the soccer team.
What do you think? You know what? What? I have to pee, but when I get back, I would love to talk about this with you.
So Okay.
Crosby.
Hey.
Uh, you tired? Okay, uh, you're You're still sleeping.
This This is a dream.
It is? Yeah.
I'm not really here.
It's just a fun dream.
Okay.
Okay, Crosby.
Right.
Should I go back to bed and make believe I didn't see you? Yes, that's a good plan.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh.
Excuse me.
Don't take all those.
Those are my favorite.
Have you talked to Haddie? It's none of your business.
Look, she broke up with me.
Were you pressuring her, perhaps? No, I wasn't pressuring her.
I just wanted it to be special.
Well, I don't know what to tell you.
Maybe it wasn't the right time for her or something.
Well, so she did talk to you.
Yes, she talked to me.
I told her she should just do whatever she felt was right in the moment, you know? So, are you feeling more heartbroken or are you feeling rejected? I guess a little bit of both.
They're, uh They're pretty inseparable.
I wouldn't say they're inseparable.
I mean, heartbroken, to me, seems like you're more sad about what happened, you know? Like, that you can't be with a person anymore.
But rejected is more, like, you're taking it personally and you're mad, you know? Wow.
Where did, uh Where did all this wisdom come from? From Fresno, of course.
The wisdom capital of the world? Ah, yes, you've heard of it.
Yeah, I don't know.
Well, my mom's kind of crazy-ish.
Mmm-hmm.
And my dad really wasn't around very much, so I guess you just kind of have to figure stuff out for yourself when you're raised like that, you know? So To survive, yeah.
What about your parents? What are they like? Um, they're pretty normal, and, oh, there's my dad, actually, as we speak.
Really, that's them? Um, actually, yeah.
This last year, my dad got diagnosed with MS.
Really? Yeah.
I'm so sorry.
I haven't told anyone that, but yeah.
Well, I'll keep it a secret.
It's okay.
Do you see him limping? I can't tell.
No? Do you know what I read? Hmm? I read that, um, people with MS sometimes like to go horseback riding, I guess, 'cause it, like, stimulates their muscles or something.
Really? Well, then That's cool.
I don't know.
I don't think he'll be going horseback riding anytime soon.
But that's Well, it was worth a shot.
Yeah.
No, thanks.
So, can you maybe pass a message on to Haddie for me? Ah, dude, no way.
No.
You've got to deal with your own stuff.
Okay.
You're okay.
What do you mean when you say "everything"? Well, I mean, I couldn't see every piece, but I saw his gold watch and his coin collection Uh-huh And that baseball that Reggie Jackson signed.
Wait a minute, the Reggie Jackson home run ball from '77? Yes.
Do you have those in an eight and a half? He pawned that? They're cute.
Yeah.
I don't know what to think.
Well, look, I know he was having some financial trouble.
You do? Yeah.
Do you remember that trip I took with him up north to look at that real estate? No.
Well, I did, and anyway, he apparently went completely upside down on this real estate investment.
What? Why didn't you tell me that? I don't know.
It was private.
It was, you know, he was embarrassed about it, and I, you know Well, why didn't he at least tell Mom? Well, he was supposed to tell Mom.
I made him promise.
I guess that maybe he hasn't.
Oh, Adam, how bad do you think it is? It's bad enough for him to sell the Reggie Jackson ball.
Which I wanted to be mine, eventually.
Oh, my God.
It's not really about your heirlooms.
I have to figure out how to get that back.
That's a valuable baseball.
Okay, but, it's What are we gonna do in the meantime? What about Mom? I think you should tell her.
No.
You should tell her.
Why should I tell her? Because you're the oldest.
Ooh, is that a hiking boot? I mean, I don't hike yet, but I might, now that I have the shoes.
Thank you.
All right, here we go.
Get on in there.
Go get 'em.
Hey, get in there, sweetie.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
So? Yeah.
Eight minutes late to practice.
Your player forgot her lucky barrette and we had to run home to get it, so Oh.
What's, uh, what's Jabbar doing out there? Oh, I didn't tell you? No.
Cros begged me to let him play, so Really? If you'll excuse me, I have some self-esteem to build.
Oh, I'll just hold this for you.
Thank you.
Coach.
Wave to the freak.
Hi.
Who are you calling a freak? You're the freak.
What are you talking about? I've never had a maniacal smile like that.
No, but you only tried to brainwash our son.
Brainwash? Yes, brainwash.
I merely made a suggestion, all right? It wasn't an ideal situation.
Right.
Well, I have a suggestion.
No more fooling around.
Period.
So So that's what you think we've been doing is fooling around? I don't know.
What would you call it? I don't know.
Hi.
What can I get for you? A sad guy sandwich? I mean, really, you look like I'm gonna have to fish you out of the pond later.
No.
Are you okay? Hey, you're not gonna believe this, though.
What? My dad was, uh He was interested in the whole horseback riding thing.
You're kidding.
Uh-huh.
That's so cool and weird.
I've been thinking about this whole thing with, um, with Haddie.
Yeah? I was a real jerk.
Really? How? I, uh I feel like I kept making appointments to With her to lose my virginity.
You're a virgin? Can you drown me now, please? Yeah.
I think I have to.
That'd be awesome.
We have a very strict "no virgins" policy here.
Oh, really? Well, I'll leave soon.
So, what else? You know, the whole thing you said about, you know, feeling in the moment, I wasn't feeling in the moment at all.
Why would she? I thought you were the guy.
Can't you just feel in the moment whenever you want? Well, what I'm feeling now isn't what I was feeling with her.
I got to go.
How long have you known about this? The pawn shop? Just No, the real estate situation.
I've known for a couple of weeks.
He didn't tell me either.
- Wow.
Why does it matter? It matters It's just It's very important information that I'd like to have.
You're making it about you.
And it's not about you.
It doesn't matter now.
All right.
Okay? Don't be all No, I understand.
Come on.
- Julia.
Are they gonna lose the house? We're not gonna let that happen.
They're not.
Is Dad gonna have to get a job? We don't know, we don't know.
How has he not told Mom? Look, I was trying to give him some time to tell Mom and he hasn't done it.
What are we supposed to do? We were thinking that tomorrow we could all have dinner over at Mom and Dad's house, just the six of us.
Okay.
Okay.
Makes me uncomfortable, but I will be there.
Yeah! Come on, Jabbar! You can do it! So, I want them to win, all right? I'm a horrible person.
Losing sucks.
Is that what you want to hear? This is the worst, Adam.
It sounds like Dr.
Phil wrote this.
"We love you, Dad.
"You've always been there for us, "and we want you to know we're here for you unconditionally.
" That sounds good.
I was just brainstorming.
It was a lame brainstorm.
JULIA: You expressed the sentiment correctly.
You're a jackass.
Well, you want to read it? 'Cause you think the sentiment's so great.
JULIA: I like it.
Don't worry about it.
You misspelled "unconditionally.
" I didn't misspell "unconditionally.
" Dad is in trouble.
Yeah, you did.
It says "unconditionally" with one "I.
" Can we take this seriously? You shouldn't be giving Crosby lines.
You're not taking this seriously.
I could do this much better.
Hey, you guys, you guys, listen to me.
Hey! When I bring up the economy, just follow my lead, okay? Okay, good.
Okay.
Economy's the cue, right? The cue has to be the economy.
Okay.
Listen, before we take off, why do you guys get to sit up front? Oh, my God.
Well, let's deal with that.
He is taller than either of you.
He's got two inches on you.
I'm considerably taller than you, Sarah.
You've always been taller than us.
And we've always been older than you.
And the one thing we get is to sit up in the front, but you know what, tonight? Let's switch.
Let's switch.
We're late already, we're late already.
Listen, my back and knees don't know you're older.
We're late already.
Can we get back in the car? Can we just be united on this? Fine, but I'm not saying "unconditionally.
" Look at you.
I can't believe you're here.
Look who it is.
You're wearing sunglasses.
Do you like them? It's night time.
I like them.
You're all dressed up.
Here, I have some extra of these.
Oh, wow.
Look at you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Can you believe this? It's like a horrible nightmare.
Tell me that your parents forced you to come.
Or they paid you or something.
Yeah, they did, a little bit.
But I also heard you were gonna be here, too, so, of course That's not good.
That is not a good reason.
Well, I came for the dancing, of course, too.
You came for the dancing? Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
I almost believe you, except that you're not dancing.
You're just standing out here by yourself.
Well, I don't know why we can't dance out here.
If you'd like.
I guess I hadn't thought about that.
I guess this isn't so bad, right? Um I think it's pretty bad.
Amber, that's what I like about you.
That I do bad things? No, of course not.
You're honest.
I'm honest.
Thanks.
You know what? I like soccer.
I think we're going to give it a shot.
I mean I mean Oh, soccer's so boring.
Hey, I was kind of thinking maybe we could talk about something besides our Our kids.
Okay.
Like what? I was CROSBY: This pasta is dynamite, Mom.
