Life Unexpected (2010) s02e02 Episode Script
Parents Unemployed
Previously on life unexpected: I'm looking for nathaniel bazile.
That's me.
I'm your daughter.
You and someone had a kid.
You gave up that kid.
I am that kid.
And now I'm applying for emancipation.
Cate Cassidy that's your mom.
I am Cate Cassidy.
Ryan and I have been up since 5:00.
And as usual, arguing since 6:00.
What are you doing here? Uh, they're, um, my birth parents.
I am not granting you emancipation.
I'm releasing you back into their temporary joint custody.
We're letting you go.
Go where? We're firing you.
Ryan and Kelly debut tomorrow.
Will you marry me? So before you end up in something that's hard to get out of, make sure you want to be there.
I needed this.
I can't promise you forever.
Paige, Baze.
Hey, do you smell that? Is is that smoke? Ýs it the bar? Paige.
Hey, Cate! Is Ryan here? No.
Your brother's still at the station.
You've met Mr.
Daniels.
You're a Teacher.
starts your day with something new- it's the morning minus the madness with Ryan Thomas, and introducing his new cohost, Kelly Campbell! Hey! Look at you being all domestic! Wow! And what are you doing up so early? Isn't one of the upsides of getting canned that you can sleep till noon? Yeah.
I have a meeting with my agent.
And we've got Bruce on the line.
What do you got, Bruce? Ryan, got to say, you traded up.
Kelly's a hoot.
You know what? Maybe I should just pretend to be a virgin.
I mean, that seems to be all the rage.
Well, every time I pretend, guys think it's hot.
Ah, would you look at you in a dress! Everything was dirty.
Nice boots.
Hey, Aunt Paige.
What? She asked me to call her that.
Hm.
That's my ride; got to go.
No, no, but I'm making breakfast.
Hey, if you're leaving, I'm crashing in your room.
That couch is giving me spina bifida.
At least she likes your cooking.
Yeah.
You okay? Why, with Aunt Paige? Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, you know, if I ever need to borrow a Balinese tunic I can just pluck one off the couch.
No, I mean, about Ryan being at work and you kind of not.
Yeah, totally.
It's fine.
And how about you, how are you doing about Bug leaving? Totally fine.
You know, it's about time that I see what else is out there, right? I bet you that there is something better right around the corner for both of us.
Hey, I honked.
You ready? Oh.
Yeah, sorry.
And what are you doing up so early? I thought you got Fired.
Yes, yes, I did, thank you so much for the reminder.
So you got drunk and trashed your place, huh? Been there.
No, Ryan's sister is staying with us.
I'm picturing Ryan in a dress.
Doesn't do it for me.
That's good.
Okay, so go.
Hi! Hi.
Good morning.
How are you? Ý'm good.
How are you? Good.
Did you sleep well? Yes.
Good.
So, what's with the tie? I haven't seen you this dressed up since my adoption.
What, are we getting another kid? More like another job.
Until the insurance comes through, the bar is closed.
Which means no income.
So, my dad, uh, got me an interview at his wealth management firm today.
I'm trying to picture you behind a desk and not a bar.
It's kind of weird.
I know.
But it could be good, yeah? All right, so what's your excuse? Who'd you dress up for? Is it Jones? Ý like Jones.
No.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm not exactly the quarterback type.
Well, I was a quarterback, and trust me, we didn't have a type.
"Girl" pretty much covered it.
Jones dates head cheerleaders, not girls who've only been to the dentist twice.
Well, after today, you're gonna have a daddy who works 9:00 to 5:00 in an office and a mom who stays home sniffing cleaning products.
You can't get more normal.
And we are going to work on that dentist situation.
All right, kiddo, whoever you're all pretty for, he's one lucky kid.
Did you know that you have a beer stain on your tie? Uh, sorry.
I was I was just It's okay.
I thought that I locked it.
I'm just crashing at a buddy's place until I find an apartment.
His couch is a little short on closet space, so What's up? Uh, nothing.
I- Ý mean, nothing, I just thought maybe we should talk about what happened the other night.
English One.
Sample syllabus.
Thank you.
Lux, hey.
Hey.
You know you're in the wrong classroom, right? I'm next-door.
Yes.
I-I was just asking Mr.
Daniels if he has an extra copy of Great Expectations laying around? Lux I know.
You got to be more careful next time.
Second time that's happened.
Read it, learn it, love it.
Got it.
It's the entire midterm.
You coming to class? Yeah.
You know, I'm-I'm actually really excited about this.
I mean, I would have never left the show on my own, but I don't know, this is good, you know? I'm just really I'm ready to get people excited about being in the Cate Cassidy business.
Public Radio Seattle is interested.
Okay, so why don't we just start with the, uh, best option first? Public Radio Seattle is very, very interested.
I don't live in Seattle.
I know.
What about Y109? I heard that they have an opening.
I have feelers out.
Everyone I talk to loves you.
They think you're great.
The problem is, you've always been Cate of Cate and Ryan.
Alone, you're a little tougher sell- not impossible.
In fact, I do have something.
Oh.
How would you like to produce the Ryan and Kelly show? What? I know what you're thinking.
"No way! Cate Cassidy is on-air talent!" But hear me out.
It's local.
Okay? It's a small step towards getting you on the radio.
I was on the radio.
Not with your own show.
And I played hardball.
There is a deal on the table to start immediately at almost your full salary.
No.
No? No.
Alan Hm? You're my agent.
I don't know what other jobs are out there, but you need to find me one that's not producing a show that I was fired from for less money.
Okay, that's a huge step back.
Honey, think about it.
You started in producing- you're going back to your roots! Is it ideal? No.
But when Ryan suggested it Wait, what? Ryan suggested it? He didn't tell you? Hello? Is everything okay? Right.
Because that's why parents get called to the principal's office, because everything is okay.
Oh, geez.
Is this about the number of times she's been tardy? Because that is his fault.
Or is it about Lux being genetically moody? Because that is all Cate.
I'm afraid it's a bit more serious than that.
Your daughter is failing out of Westmonte.
You know, I-I don't understand.
I mean, if she is failing, Why didn't we hear about this before today? Someone from the school should have called Or sent home a note.
The school policy clearly states That any student who is potentially failing Must have all exams signed By a parent, and lux's were.
What? Yeah.
Well, there was just a lot going on, And I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Lux, failing is a huge deal.
It's not Simply an issue of grades.
It's that lux's work has not shown improvement Since she arrived here.
What do we need to do? She needs to pass If she's gonna stay at westmonte.
Otherwise, there are other schools In the neighborhood that, uh Perhaps operate at a slower pace.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop, hold on a second.
We're not gonna ship lux off To some, you know, short-bus remedial school.
Exactly, right?'cause if baze Can pass westmonte, So can she.
Her lowest grade is in english.
If lux has a prayer of scraping by With a c for the semester, she needs to get an a On this Thursday's midterm.
Consider it done! Cate! Principal: Lux, maybe I could speak with your parents for a moment.
Okay.
These problems often boil down to motivation.
When parents get involved at school, kids get motivated.
Aside from you visiting here after the bong lamp incident Oh, that was my bad.
It was his fault.
And, of course, the chaperoning Of the winter formal You haven't done much.
Well, you know what, if you ever need me to throw together, Like, a quick, you know, like a donkey basketball tournament, I'm your guy.
He really is.
And cate, she can make cookies for the bake sale.
Or buy them.
I could buy them.
Actually, there is something we could really use.
We need another speaker at career day tomorrow.
You could talk about your successes.
You're a radio deejay, you started your own business.
It could also show lux That you have high expectations for her, as well.
There's a bit Of a problem there,'cause, see, I'm a little bit Between careers right now, And this one she's the She's the public speaker of the family.
She just got can Cer.
Cancer.
I thought it was cancer.
But it was more like this So, um Career day it is, huh? Career day? You couldn't have jumped on bake sale? Yeah.
Well, you want to go back in there And tell principal dugan that neither one of us can speak Because we're both unemployed losers? Hey, hey.
I'm not the one who got fired.
No, you just burned down your own bar! Hey, guys? Yeah.
This is no reason to start fighting.
We're not fighting.
We're discussing.
It's just grades.
Yeah, which could affect your admission to college.
Who said I wanted to go to college? How else do you expect to have a career? Well, you and baze went to college, And you don't even have jobs.
Yes, at the moment.
I already have an entire career Under my belt, and baze Not a good example.
Hey, I happen to have an interview In, um Ooh, 20 minutes.
I got to go.
Guys, this whole career day thing really isn't necessary.
Um, yes, it is.
We need to be involved, okay? You let us handle that.
You You just get ready to study for your exam.
Okay, when we get home, We're going to come up with a study plan That's going to make learning fun.
Anyone can get a's in high school if they try.
Did you get a's in high school? Sometimes, you know, with the answers on my shoe.
Hmm.
Got to go.
Hey, wish me luck.
Luck! Okay, don't worry about it.
You're my kid.
You have got academic success in your blood, Which hopefully, Is gonna counteract the dumb-ass you got from baze.
Well, when am I going To get a check? I filled out that insurance claim with everything I remember.
who? Yeah.
Fire girl.
I don't know.
Paige something.
I didn't get her last name.
How many paiges are there in this city? Oh.
Well, um After six boilermakers, it's all a little blurry.
So, as far as a description goes, Um, crazy in bed and burned down my bar Is all that I've got.
Look, I pay my premiums, all right, Or at least my dad does, so, really, all I need is a check.
Hi.
I'm, uh, nate bazile.
Here to see emma bradshaw.
I'm emma.
You're late.
So I see you're making a rather significant career change.
Why now? Well, you know, I've been doing my own thing for a while, And I feel like it's time to branch out, grow up, Move away from an industry that involves beer nuts.
And what makes you think You'd be a good fit at fenmore financial? Same last name as the guy who runs the place you know what, though? I don't want you to take that into consideration.
Because, yes, my father got me in the door, but I want you To judge me based on, you know, my own merits.
So, you ran a bar? Yes, I did, until it, Um Was disposed of Right.
Paige something.
Yeah, it's the This? Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you, um Do you habitually sleep with girls Without asking their last name? Uh, she was a new bartender.
I was in a little bit of a head space, so Ah.
So, you slept with an employee? Could we just start this over? Oh, I think we should.
Yeah.
Um, would I be correct in that you're 32, And this would be your first real job? You-you know my dad owns this company, right? Okay, so I've made us some flash cards For your midterms.
They are broken down by plot, character, Theme and subtext.
Hmm.
It's, like, 100 cards.
No, don't think of it as 100 cards.
Think of it as tiny, memorizable pieces.
Okay, okay.
I get that this is important, and I'll try, but Cate, I'm not like you.
I'm not I'm not smart.
No.
That's the thing.
You are smart.
Hidden underneath all of those hats And those scarves and those layers, There is a ton of smartness.
I'm gonna find it.
Hey, I'm home.
Oh, hey.
Sorry I'm late.
Kelly and I had to suffer through dinner with corporate.
But I did pick up some dessert.
Hmm.
Hey, ryan, we're in the middle of studying, so Okay, well, how about this? You two haven't seen each other all day, so I will go To baze's and study, huh? Hmm.
Okay, well, then, um, Why don't you just take the practice test Uh-huhThat I made you? And listen to the study guide Got it.
You know, I used to Study listening to music.
'cause mozart Mozart makes you smarter.
Rage against the machine- now that keeps you awake.
Okay, ryan, I have been doing this with her all day.
I've got it.
Thank you.
Yeah.
See you.
Well, what? I was just trying to help.
Okay, well, if scoring me a demotion At the place that fired me is your idea of helping, don't.
This place is awesome.
This is definitely a step up from living out of my classroom.
Why would someone leave this place? Jamie worked at the bar.
After the fire, he was broke, So he moved back home with his mom.
But she's cool.
If you want it, you'd just need To meet with baze, too.
It's his place.
Hell, yeah, I want it.
This is perfect.
Hey, lux? You know when baze is getting back? Um You live here? Not really.
No.
Sometimes, but But barely.
Barely.
Barely at all.
You know what? I should probably think about this.
I'll give you a call.
What just happened? Wait up! Well, eric! Lux, you can't call me that.
Okay, dude, you can take the room if you want it.
Why Why are you acting like you did something wrong? Okay, because I did.
Do you have any idea how much trouble I'd get in if anyone found out? anything.
I'd lose my job All right, like I'm gonna say anything.
Okay, and you're, like, two seconds older than me, So stop freaking out.
Try six years, lux.
I'm 23.
You're what, 17? Sixteen.
Even better.
Look, I get it.
Nothing can happen between us, But we still felt what we felt, right? I I mean, didn't you? Feel something? That's why you don't want to move in.
What happened with us was a mistake.
I didn't feel anything.
Well, then I guess nothing's stopping you.
Hey, save your cereal milk.
We're gonna have to start Cutting some corners around here.
Why? The insurance company just called.
They're not gonna cover the fire? Nope.
No.
Only for structural damage.
But everything else Should have been covered under renters insurance, Which I, the renter, Apparently missed some payments on.
Don't you scowl at me.
You got a milk mustache.
The effect is creepy.
How can I not scowl? The bar, the insurance, The not getting a job at your dad's company.
Oh, that was not my fault.
That emma chick- she totally judged me Based on a private telephone conversation.
Which you were having in a public elevator.
You know what? I didn't want that job.
I'm not a desk guy.
I mean, even the parking structure made me nervous.
Who-who wants to stand around with a bunch of stuffy suits Talking about money all day? This is just like in high school when we played carter.
We're gonna do the carter story again, really? You psyched yourself out, and you didn't even try.
Well, I tried to get this job, all right? She didn't even give me a chance.
Then make her give you a chance.
You built your bar from the wall studs up.
You-you ran a small business for years.
Baze, you majored in economics in college.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You need this job, and you need to stop telling yourself The game is lost before you even start.
And, of course, I've had to consider a number of offers already.
Seattle wants me.
Uh, san diego They want me, too.
And everybody at y109 loves you.
Loves you! That is just so good to hear.
You have no idea.
I mean, really, I think that leaving K100 might be the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Their loss is our gain.
Cate cassidy as a solo act Has a whole rogue woman thing going on.
Which is so timely.
Yes.
We think it would be a big hit in the Oh, I'm sorry.
Um I thought That the open slot was morning drive time.
Well, drive time is more of a two-hander.
Mm.
Listeners love the banter, the chemistry.
Like you had with ryan, or ryan has with kelly.
Oh, love ryan and kelly.
Yeah, they're great.
Um, look, I have been hosting morning drive time For the past three years.
It is true that I don't have a lot of tape on my own, But I do I do have fans.
You know, lots of'em.
You You love me.
Love you.
Thing is, without ryan, you're an unknown commodity.
We had to go to bat for you for the 2:00 to 6:00 a.
M.
Slot.
Okay.
Well, then, I will just think about it, And I will get back to you.
We'd love that.
Love that.
Really.
What the heck? Emma.
Nate bazile.
We met the other day.
Who knew we were members of the same gym? That's crazy, huh? It's like we could have run into each other over 100 times And never even noticed.
It's a small world.
It's an all-women's gym.
Hey.
All right, you know what? I think you've got the wrong impression of me.
You're a woman? No.
I mean, I never got the chance to tell you How I built my bar from the ground up, That I am great with the public, Drumming up business, working with clientele Really? But which of our clients do you see yourself working with? Many.
Aaron peters, thornton howard? Yeah.
Really great guys.
Solid.
Love those guys.
They're companies.
Well, the first thing they should do is change their names To something a little more professional-sounding.
You know, I don't think I got the wrong impression of you at all.
I think you showed up to a job intererview Underdressed and unprepared.
Your rÃA©sumÃA© is a joke.
Do you even want the job? Oh, I think that showing up At an all-women's gym pretty much speaks for itself.
I don't mean, do you want to pay your bills Or get your bar back? I mean, do you want to put on a suit and tie, Analyze financial reports, And sit in an office all day? Because that's what the job is.
And as far as I can tell, You're just a guy who doesn't know what he wants To do with his life, so he drinks and parties And is dumb enough to burn down his own bar.
Look I don't know what you want, but I know what I want.
It's not you.
Was there, like, a murder in this room, And you need to destroy all evidence? Is it safe to say you didn't get the job? No, I got the job.
That's awesome.
Do we really have to go to this dumb career day thing? Yes! Ý got the 2:00 a.
M.
To 6:00 a.
M.
Time slot, So I can be a miserably tired person that never has sex With her husband again, or I can just stay unemployed.
Okay? Don't walk where I mopped.
All right.
I- Ý vote for the one That has nothing to do with not having sex.
Or are we never having sex again, anyway? Got it! All right.
Cate, look.
Cate, I know it's hard out there, But you're going to find something great.
And until then, you have a job if you want it.
Yeah, the producer job you asked them to get me? Yes.
Yeah, it's like pity sex.
Oh, come on.
You know, just admit it.
You think that working For a show that fired me is the best I can do.
No, of course not.
It's what you were doing before we started working together.
But it's the only idea that I have That will keep us working together.
Oh, really? Then why didn't you quit? Huh? Because that would have kept us together! You know, we-we could have gone to y109, Or krkj or any of those other places.
But instead, you just sat back, And you let them replace me With-with some annoying fake virgin.
No.
That is not what happened, all right? I fought for you.
Obviously not hard enough! Because while your career is skyrocketing, Mine is in a freefall! Um That-that was baze.
He didn't get his job, either, so Looks like you're back To giving that career day speech.
That's awesome.
My work truly helps humanity in a time of need.
I cannot believe that you are making me do this.
Well, it has to be you.
I'm not an inspirational speaker, cate.
Great.
You made it.
Which one of you is going on? I hate you.
Hey, math.
That's the guy I was telling you about, Who was looking at jamie's room.
Nice guy.
Lux met him.
Cool.
Are you going to introduce us or just wait Until we're fishing socks out of each other's laundry pile? No.
That's what sucks.
He's not taking it.
Wait.
What? He's not? He called back last night.
Too bad, since we could really use Another roommate who has a job.
Pressure.
Very helpful.
Um, um, you know what? I left something in my locker.
I'll be right back.
And that's why, to me, The porta-potty service is the number one business to be in.
It's also the number two business.
What's the deal, Mr.
Daniels? You're not talking to me now? Yeah,'cause that's not childish.
There's no point in talking, 'cause you don't get it.
I do get that you're not taking the room In the loft because of me.
Actually, I want to be closer to school.
Right.
So now you're a child and a liar.
Got it.
I'm a liar? That's ironic.
You were working in a bar.
You were wearing an engagement ring, Talking about some guy you'd been dating for years? You were wearing a u of o t-shirt.
We spent the whole night together, and you said nothing.
If I'd known that you were 16 Then nothing would have happened.
Eric, I am sorry.
Maybe I lied because I liked you, And I didn't want you to think that I was I was engaged and 16, like I was some screwed-up kid.
Lux, look, I'm sorry.
I'm not angry at you.
I'm upset at the situation.
This whole thing is my fault and that You're right.
Maybe we should go somewhere and talk.
Thank you, Mr.
Franklin.
Dropped a lot of knowledge on us.
Okay, people.
Put your hands together For my very favorite radio host, Portland's own Cate cassidy! Yeah! Hi! Whoo! Ý'm cate Uh, from, uh, From cate and ryan.
Okay, now I am just cate.
Uh, that's "cat" with an "e.
" Wow.
I know.
And she did this for a living.
Hi, guys.
Hey.
I'm sorry I'm late, everybody.
What are you doing? I mean, it's career day, And you're talking about our careers, so So, uh Anybody used to listen to us on the radio, k100? Right on.
Yeah.
I like it.
So, what you're probably thinking is, "how do you get a start in radio?" Cate, why don't you tell them how this all began, Back in our days at, uh, z-rock? I was a production assistant.
Production assistant? Low man on the totem pole.
I, on the other hand, Was the host of the afternoon show.
You see, cate's main job was To bring the on-air talent coffee and doughnuts.
How many times did you manage To do your job and bring me coffee and a doughnut? Zero.
So, eventually, at some point, We had to ask cate point blank, "do you even want this job?" And the answer was Of course I didn't want the job.
What I wanted, and what I've always wanted Was to be on the air.
So they put me on, Uh One afternoon, From the booth, to banter with ryan.
Yeah, and, oh, by the way, she-she bombed.
big time.
Yes, and I realized I had a lot to learn.
That instead of being so focused on where I wanted to be, I should be ready when I got there.
So the next time that I got the opportunity I would be ready.
So, a couple years later, I'm at k100, and I had The opportunity to pick a new co-host, And I remembered cate.
I remembered how she knew what she wanted, And how she wasn't afraid to fail and try again, And how she'd-she'd taken The time to just step back and learn.
So I chose her.
That is why I wanted to work with her then, And that is why I still do.
Where's lux? I don't know.
I should have told you the truth about Who I was.
But if I had, we would have never gone to the ocean, And I would be engaged right now, Without ever knowing that there was More.
Now, I know that billboard was just a billboard, Not really the ocean.
And you were just a guy Who was being nice, Not a guy that actually liked me.
And maybe I just I don't know the difference anymore Between what's fake and what's real.
And-and that's not your fault.
It's mine.
I'm just I'm trying to be this person everybody expects me to be.
You know, I'm supposed to be listening to career day, And getting my grades up, And-and thinking about my future.
But all I keep thinking about Do you know what I keep thinking about? That night.
And-and you can say what you want, but To me It was real.
Lux It was real.
Lux! Hey.
Been looking for you.
You missed cate's speech.
Yeah, it got good towards the end, But ha-ha You got to see the beginning.
This is going on youtube.
Hey, I'm eric.
Uh, Mr.
Daniels Was just quizzing me for the test tomorrow.
Great expectations.
Oh.
You're the guy that was gonna Rent the room what happened? Oh, sorry, man, I wish I could.
Uh, there's kind of circumstances That are out of my control, So it's just not gonna work out.
Dude, that sucks- you're giving up a good thing.
Yeah, I know.
Hey, thanks for understanding about the place.
It's nice to meet you.
Yeah.
Hey.
Are you all right? You missed a good porta-potty speech.
Oh.
Hey.
Are you that stressed about this test? What if I fail? Well, uh, cate and I are both unemployed, so The one thing you don't have to fear In this family is failure.
I mean, I think we pretty much both have that covered.
You didn't want that job, anyway.
Well, you-you know what's the weird thing? I kind of did.
But I guess I thought that if I never even tried, I couldn't fail.
But I am trying.
And Failing- that's the problem.
I get it.
I do.
And I will stay up late and I'll study with you, too.
You know? Whatever it takes.
It's kind of like what cate said in her speech.
Um I mean, neither one of us can give up on what we want.
You got this, kiddo.
So do I.
All right.
Ah.
Oh.
Thank you for being here today.
You know, for being the one person in lux's life That actually has a career.
well, I wanted you to know that I had your back.
'cause I know it Hasn't felt like it lately.
You know, maybe I should have walked away, too, From the show, but I-I didn't.
I didn't for a lot of reasons.
The biggest one is you and lux.
Quitting Could have meant anything.
It could've meant less money, uh A new city, a gig that just didn't fit with having a kid.
That's why I wanted to help her study.
That's why I wanted to do this This speech today.
I just I guess I just wish that somebody Would have asked me to do career day.
'cause I want to feel like she's my kid, too, you know? Ryan, I'm sorry.
You know, I should have realized that You know, but this whole work thing- it's just a lot.
But You know, you're right.
Having a kid and being married Sometimes it means sacrifices.
Well, who knows better than you that Taking a step back Can help you move forward? And maybe, you know, you'll end up exactly where you want to be.
I know, but you really think it's gonna work, me producing? We'd make it work.
Look, I just know that I am better with you than without you.
Me, too.
I'm only going to take five minutes of your time.
Is this going to be an everyday thing? Aaron peters is a modestly-diversified Manufacturing company which produces, Among other things, sporting equipment.
They tend to be pretty conservative investors, So we should probably be looking For undervalued companies for them To put their money into- value investing.
I wrote a paper about it in college.
The clock is ticking on your five minutes.
Okay, look, My dad he's an impressive guy, And when I was a little kid, I wanted to be just like him.
But somewhere along the way, I stopped trying, Because I knew, on some level, That I could never be just like him.
So I picked something so opposite of what he was.
You know, I never saw myself as a business guy, Because I was afraid that I couldn't cut it, And I don't want my kid to ever not try because of that.
You know, I've had a hard time admitting what I want.
And I've lost things Because of that.
You know, And I'm not about to let another thing I want slip away, And you shouldn't let me slip away.
I may not have the right rÃA©sumÃA© or credentials, But I'm a hard worker, I'm determined, and I'm fearless Because, believe me, I have nothing to lose.
So you can hire me or not.
That's your call.
But you got to know- I want this job.
Oh, my god.
Fire girl.
Baze.
What are you doing here? What are you doing here? I've been looking for you.
Well, I've been waiting for you to call me.
You better not have given my bartending gig to somebody else.
Your bartending gig? Mm-hmm.
There is no bar.
What? Since when? Since you burned it down.
Says who? Ah, baze.
Hey.
What are you doing here? Oh, have you two met? Paige, this is lux's dad, baze.
Baze, this is ryan's little sister.
You look really familiar.
Have we met before? No.
Never, ever.
Hey.
Oh, hey.
All right, so, Math asked me to bring this over.
It's lux's english Midterm.
Oh, my god! Oh, my god! We actually got a 95! Oh, yeah.
We need champagne.
Ryan? All right, I've got it.
Yeah, we do.
A 95! Oh, yeah.
Well, I don't think we I don't think we We don't have to do all of this.
What? Sure we do.
Come on, you got an a.
Plus, cate's new job at the station.
Uh, and you guys are looking At a new sales associate at fenmore financial.
You got the job? Yeah, I know.
Crazy, right? Yeah.
Um, all right.
Let's have a toast.
Oh, we need one more.
Okay, to all of us doing something We thought we couldn't.
Oh, yes, and to lux for doing what we all knew she could.
That's me.
I'm your daughter.
You and someone had a kid.
You gave up that kid.
I am that kid.
And now I'm applying for emancipation.
Cate Cassidy that's your mom.
I am Cate Cassidy.
Ryan and I have been up since 5:00.
And as usual, arguing since 6:00.
What are you doing here? Uh, they're, um, my birth parents.
I am not granting you emancipation.
I'm releasing you back into their temporary joint custody.
We're letting you go.
Go where? We're firing you.
Ryan and Kelly debut tomorrow.
Will you marry me? So before you end up in something that's hard to get out of, make sure you want to be there.
I needed this.
I can't promise you forever.
Paige, Baze.
Hey, do you smell that? Is is that smoke? Ýs it the bar? Paige.
Hey, Cate! Is Ryan here? No.
Your brother's still at the station.
You've met Mr.
Daniels.
You're a Teacher.
starts your day with something new- it's the morning minus the madness with Ryan Thomas, and introducing his new cohost, Kelly Campbell! Hey! Look at you being all domestic! Wow! And what are you doing up so early? Isn't one of the upsides of getting canned that you can sleep till noon? Yeah.
I have a meeting with my agent.
And we've got Bruce on the line.
What do you got, Bruce? Ryan, got to say, you traded up.
Kelly's a hoot.
You know what? Maybe I should just pretend to be a virgin.
I mean, that seems to be all the rage.
Well, every time I pretend, guys think it's hot.
Ah, would you look at you in a dress! Everything was dirty.
Nice boots.
Hey, Aunt Paige.
What? She asked me to call her that.
Hm.
That's my ride; got to go.
No, no, but I'm making breakfast.
Hey, if you're leaving, I'm crashing in your room.
That couch is giving me spina bifida.
At least she likes your cooking.
Yeah.
You okay? Why, with Aunt Paige? Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, you know, if I ever need to borrow a Balinese tunic I can just pluck one off the couch.
No, I mean, about Ryan being at work and you kind of not.
Yeah, totally.
It's fine.
And how about you, how are you doing about Bug leaving? Totally fine.
You know, it's about time that I see what else is out there, right? I bet you that there is something better right around the corner for both of us.
Hey, I honked.
You ready? Oh.
Yeah, sorry.
And what are you doing up so early? I thought you got Fired.
Yes, yes, I did, thank you so much for the reminder.
So you got drunk and trashed your place, huh? Been there.
No, Ryan's sister is staying with us.
I'm picturing Ryan in a dress.
Doesn't do it for me.
That's good.
Okay, so go.
Hi! Hi.
Good morning.
How are you? Ý'm good.
How are you? Good.
Did you sleep well? Yes.
Good.
So, what's with the tie? I haven't seen you this dressed up since my adoption.
What, are we getting another kid? More like another job.
Until the insurance comes through, the bar is closed.
Which means no income.
So, my dad, uh, got me an interview at his wealth management firm today.
I'm trying to picture you behind a desk and not a bar.
It's kind of weird.
I know.
But it could be good, yeah? All right, so what's your excuse? Who'd you dress up for? Is it Jones? Ý like Jones.
No.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm not exactly the quarterback type.
Well, I was a quarterback, and trust me, we didn't have a type.
"Girl" pretty much covered it.
Jones dates head cheerleaders, not girls who've only been to the dentist twice.
Well, after today, you're gonna have a daddy who works 9:00 to 5:00 in an office and a mom who stays home sniffing cleaning products.
You can't get more normal.
And we are going to work on that dentist situation.
All right, kiddo, whoever you're all pretty for, he's one lucky kid.
Did you know that you have a beer stain on your tie? Uh, sorry.
I was I was just It's okay.
I thought that I locked it.
I'm just crashing at a buddy's place until I find an apartment.
His couch is a little short on closet space, so What's up? Uh, nothing.
I- Ý mean, nothing, I just thought maybe we should talk about what happened the other night.
English One.
Sample syllabus.
Thank you.
Lux, hey.
Hey.
You know you're in the wrong classroom, right? I'm next-door.
Yes.
I-I was just asking Mr.
Daniels if he has an extra copy of Great Expectations laying around? Lux I know.
You got to be more careful next time.
Second time that's happened.
Read it, learn it, love it.
Got it.
It's the entire midterm.
You coming to class? Yeah.
You know, I'm-I'm actually really excited about this.
I mean, I would have never left the show on my own, but I don't know, this is good, you know? I'm just really I'm ready to get people excited about being in the Cate Cassidy business.
Public Radio Seattle is interested.
Okay, so why don't we just start with the, uh, best option first? Public Radio Seattle is very, very interested.
I don't live in Seattle.
I know.
What about Y109? I heard that they have an opening.
I have feelers out.
Everyone I talk to loves you.
They think you're great.
The problem is, you've always been Cate of Cate and Ryan.
Alone, you're a little tougher sell- not impossible.
In fact, I do have something.
Oh.
How would you like to produce the Ryan and Kelly show? What? I know what you're thinking.
"No way! Cate Cassidy is on-air talent!" But hear me out.
It's local.
Okay? It's a small step towards getting you on the radio.
I was on the radio.
Not with your own show.
And I played hardball.
There is a deal on the table to start immediately at almost your full salary.
No.
No? No.
Alan Hm? You're my agent.
I don't know what other jobs are out there, but you need to find me one that's not producing a show that I was fired from for less money.
Okay, that's a huge step back.
Honey, think about it.
You started in producing- you're going back to your roots! Is it ideal? No.
But when Ryan suggested it Wait, what? Ryan suggested it? He didn't tell you? Hello? Is everything okay? Right.
Because that's why parents get called to the principal's office, because everything is okay.
Oh, geez.
Is this about the number of times she's been tardy? Because that is his fault.
Or is it about Lux being genetically moody? Because that is all Cate.
I'm afraid it's a bit more serious than that.
Your daughter is failing out of Westmonte.
You know, I-I don't understand.
I mean, if she is failing, Why didn't we hear about this before today? Someone from the school should have called Or sent home a note.
The school policy clearly states That any student who is potentially failing Must have all exams signed By a parent, and lux's were.
What? Yeah.
Well, there was just a lot going on, And I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Lux, failing is a huge deal.
It's not Simply an issue of grades.
It's that lux's work has not shown improvement Since she arrived here.
What do we need to do? She needs to pass If she's gonna stay at westmonte.
Otherwise, there are other schools In the neighborhood that, uh Perhaps operate at a slower pace.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop, hold on a second.
We're not gonna ship lux off To some, you know, short-bus remedial school.
Exactly, right?'cause if baze Can pass westmonte, So can she.
Her lowest grade is in english.
If lux has a prayer of scraping by With a c for the semester, she needs to get an a On this Thursday's midterm.
Consider it done! Cate! Principal: Lux, maybe I could speak with your parents for a moment.
Okay.
These problems often boil down to motivation.
When parents get involved at school, kids get motivated.
Aside from you visiting here after the bong lamp incident Oh, that was my bad.
It was his fault.
And, of course, the chaperoning Of the winter formal You haven't done much.
Well, you know what, if you ever need me to throw together, Like, a quick, you know, like a donkey basketball tournament, I'm your guy.
He really is.
And cate, she can make cookies for the bake sale.
Or buy them.
I could buy them.
Actually, there is something we could really use.
We need another speaker at career day tomorrow.
You could talk about your successes.
You're a radio deejay, you started your own business.
It could also show lux That you have high expectations for her, as well.
There's a bit Of a problem there,'cause, see, I'm a little bit Between careers right now, And this one she's the She's the public speaker of the family.
She just got can Cer.
Cancer.
I thought it was cancer.
But it was more like this So, um Career day it is, huh? Career day? You couldn't have jumped on bake sale? Yeah.
Well, you want to go back in there And tell principal dugan that neither one of us can speak Because we're both unemployed losers? Hey, hey.
I'm not the one who got fired.
No, you just burned down your own bar! Hey, guys? Yeah.
This is no reason to start fighting.
We're not fighting.
We're discussing.
It's just grades.
Yeah, which could affect your admission to college.
Who said I wanted to go to college? How else do you expect to have a career? Well, you and baze went to college, And you don't even have jobs.
Yes, at the moment.
I already have an entire career Under my belt, and baze Not a good example.
Hey, I happen to have an interview In, um Ooh, 20 minutes.
I got to go.
Guys, this whole career day thing really isn't necessary.
Um, yes, it is.
We need to be involved, okay? You let us handle that.
You You just get ready to study for your exam.
Okay, when we get home, We're going to come up with a study plan That's going to make learning fun.
Anyone can get a's in high school if they try.
Did you get a's in high school? Sometimes, you know, with the answers on my shoe.
Hmm.
Got to go.
Hey, wish me luck.
Luck! Okay, don't worry about it.
You're my kid.
You have got academic success in your blood, Which hopefully, Is gonna counteract the dumb-ass you got from baze.
Well, when am I going To get a check? I filled out that insurance claim with everything I remember.
who? Yeah.
Fire girl.
I don't know.
Paige something.
I didn't get her last name.
How many paiges are there in this city? Oh.
Well, um After six boilermakers, it's all a little blurry.
So, as far as a description goes, Um, crazy in bed and burned down my bar Is all that I've got.
Look, I pay my premiums, all right, Or at least my dad does, so, really, all I need is a check.
Hi.
I'm, uh, nate bazile.
Here to see emma bradshaw.
I'm emma.
You're late.
So I see you're making a rather significant career change.
Why now? Well, you know, I've been doing my own thing for a while, And I feel like it's time to branch out, grow up, Move away from an industry that involves beer nuts.
And what makes you think You'd be a good fit at fenmore financial? Same last name as the guy who runs the place you know what, though? I don't want you to take that into consideration.
Because, yes, my father got me in the door, but I want you To judge me based on, you know, my own merits.
So, you ran a bar? Yes, I did, until it, Um Was disposed of Right.
Paige something.
Yeah, it's the This? Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you, um Do you habitually sleep with girls Without asking their last name? Uh, she was a new bartender.
I was in a little bit of a head space, so Ah.
So, you slept with an employee? Could we just start this over? Oh, I think we should.
Yeah.
Um, would I be correct in that you're 32, And this would be your first real job? You-you know my dad owns this company, right? Okay, so I've made us some flash cards For your midterms.
They are broken down by plot, character, Theme and subtext.
Hmm.
It's, like, 100 cards.
No, don't think of it as 100 cards.
Think of it as tiny, memorizable pieces.
Okay, okay.
I get that this is important, and I'll try, but Cate, I'm not like you.
I'm not I'm not smart.
No.
That's the thing.
You are smart.
Hidden underneath all of those hats And those scarves and those layers, There is a ton of smartness.
I'm gonna find it.
Hey, I'm home.
Oh, hey.
Sorry I'm late.
Kelly and I had to suffer through dinner with corporate.
But I did pick up some dessert.
Hmm.
Hey, ryan, we're in the middle of studying, so Okay, well, how about this? You two haven't seen each other all day, so I will go To baze's and study, huh? Hmm.
Okay, well, then, um, Why don't you just take the practice test Uh-huhThat I made you? And listen to the study guide Got it.
You know, I used to Study listening to music.
'cause mozart Mozart makes you smarter.
Rage against the machine- now that keeps you awake.
Okay, ryan, I have been doing this with her all day.
I've got it.
Thank you.
Yeah.
See you.
Well, what? I was just trying to help.
Okay, well, if scoring me a demotion At the place that fired me is your idea of helping, don't.
This place is awesome.
This is definitely a step up from living out of my classroom.
Why would someone leave this place? Jamie worked at the bar.
After the fire, he was broke, So he moved back home with his mom.
But she's cool.
If you want it, you'd just need To meet with baze, too.
It's his place.
Hell, yeah, I want it.
This is perfect.
Hey, lux? You know when baze is getting back? Um You live here? Not really.
No.
Sometimes, but But barely.
Barely.
Barely at all.
You know what? I should probably think about this.
I'll give you a call.
What just happened? Wait up! Well, eric! Lux, you can't call me that.
Okay, dude, you can take the room if you want it.
Why Why are you acting like you did something wrong? Okay, because I did.
Do you have any idea how much trouble I'd get in if anyone found out? anything.
I'd lose my job All right, like I'm gonna say anything.
Okay, and you're, like, two seconds older than me, So stop freaking out.
Try six years, lux.
I'm 23.
You're what, 17? Sixteen.
Even better.
Look, I get it.
Nothing can happen between us, But we still felt what we felt, right? I I mean, didn't you? Feel something? That's why you don't want to move in.
What happened with us was a mistake.
I didn't feel anything.
Well, then I guess nothing's stopping you.
Hey, save your cereal milk.
We're gonna have to start Cutting some corners around here.
Why? The insurance company just called.
They're not gonna cover the fire? Nope.
No.
Only for structural damage.
But everything else Should have been covered under renters insurance, Which I, the renter, Apparently missed some payments on.
Don't you scowl at me.
You got a milk mustache.
The effect is creepy.
How can I not scowl? The bar, the insurance, The not getting a job at your dad's company.
Oh, that was not my fault.
That emma chick- she totally judged me Based on a private telephone conversation.
Which you were having in a public elevator.
You know what? I didn't want that job.
I'm not a desk guy.
I mean, even the parking structure made me nervous.
Who-who wants to stand around with a bunch of stuffy suits Talking about money all day? This is just like in high school when we played carter.
We're gonna do the carter story again, really? You psyched yourself out, and you didn't even try.
Well, I tried to get this job, all right? She didn't even give me a chance.
Then make her give you a chance.
You built your bar from the wall studs up.
You-you ran a small business for years.
Baze, you majored in economics in college.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You need this job, and you need to stop telling yourself The game is lost before you even start.
And, of course, I've had to consider a number of offers already.
Seattle wants me.
Uh, san diego They want me, too.
And everybody at y109 loves you.
Loves you! That is just so good to hear.
You have no idea.
I mean, really, I think that leaving K100 might be the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Their loss is our gain.
Cate cassidy as a solo act Has a whole rogue woman thing going on.
Which is so timely.
Yes.
We think it would be a big hit in the Oh, I'm sorry.
Um I thought That the open slot was morning drive time.
Well, drive time is more of a two-hander.
Mm.
Listeners love the banter, the chemistry.
Like you had with ryan, or ryan has with kelly.
Oh, love ryan and kelly.
Yeah, they're great.
Um, look, I have been hosting morning drive time For the past three years.
It is true that I don't have a lot of tape on my own, But I do I do have fans.
You know, lots of'em.
You You love me.
Love you.
Thing is, without ryan, you're an unknown commodity.
We had to go to bat for you for the 2:00 to 6:00 a.
M.
Slot.
Okay.
Well, then, I will just think about it, And I will get back to you.
We'd love that.
Love that.
Really.
What the heck? Emma.
Nate bazile.
We met the other day.
Who knew we were members of the same gym? That's crazy, huh? It's like we could have run into each other over 100 times And never even noticed.
It's a small world.
It's an all-women's gym.
Hey.
All right, you know what? I think you've got the wrong impression of me.
You're a woman? No.
I mean, I never got the chance to tell you How I built my bar from the ground up, That I am great with the public, Drumming up business, working with clientele Really? But which of our clients do you see yourself working with? Many.
Aaron peters, thornton howard? Yeah.
Really great guys.
Solid.
Love those guys.
They're companies.
Well, the first thing they should do is change their names To something a little more professional-sounding.
You know, I don't think I got the wrong impression of you at all.
I think you showed up to a job intererview Underdressed and unprepared.
Your rÃA©sumÃA© is a joke.
Do you even want the job? Oh, I think that showing up At an all-women's gym pretty much speaks for itself.
I don't mean, do you want to pay your bills Or get your bar back? I mean, do you want to put on a suit and tie, Analyze financial reports, And sit in an office all day? Because that's what the job is.
And as far as I can tell, You're just a guy who doesn't know what he wants To do with his life, so he drinks and parties And is dumb enough to burn down his own bar.
Look I don't know what you want, but I know what I want.
It's not you.
Was there, like, a murder in this room, And you need to destroy all evidence? Is it safe to say you didn't get the job? No, I got the job.
That's awesome.
Do we really have to go to this dumb career day thing? Yes! Ý got the 2:00 a.
M.
To 6:00 a.
M.
Time slot, So I can be a miserably tired person that never has sex With her husband again, or I can just stay unemployed.
Okay? Don't walk where I mopped.
All right.
I- Ý vote for the one That has nothing to do with not having sex.
Or are we never having sex again, anyway? Got it! All right.
Cate, look.
Cate, I know it's hard out there, But you're going to find something great.
And until then, you have a job if you want it.
Yeah, the producer job you asked them to get me? Yes.
Yeah, it's like pity sex.
Oh, come on.
You know, just admit it.
You think that working For a show that fired me is the best I can do.
No, of course not.
It's what you were doing before we started working together.
But it's the only idea that I have That will keep us working together.
Oh, really? Then why didn't you quit? Huh? Because that would have kept us together! You know, we-we could have gone to y109, Or krkj or any of those other places.
But instead, you just sat back, And you let them replace me With-with some annoying fake virgin.
No.
That is not what happened, all right? I fought for you.
Obviously not hard enough! Because while your career is skyrocketing, Mine is in a freefall! Um That-that was baze.
He didn't get his job, either, so Looks like you're back To giving that career day speech.
That's awesome.
My work truly helps humanity in a time of need.
I cannot believe that you are making me do this.
Well, it has to be you.
I'm not an inspirational speaker, cate.
Great.
You made it.
Which one of you is going on? I hate you.
Hey, math.
That's the guy I was telling you about, Who was looking at jamie's room.
Nice guy.
Lux met him.
Cool.
Are you going to introduce us or just wait Until we're fishing socks out of each other's laundry pile? No.
That's what sucks.
He's not taking it.
Wait.
What? He's not? He called back last night.
Too bad, since we could really use Another roommate who has a job.
Pressure.
Very helpful.
Um, um, you know what? I left something in my locker.
I'll be right back.
And that's why, to me, The porta-potty service is the number one business to be in.
It's also the number two business.
What's the deal, Mr.
Daniels? You're not talking to me now? Yeah,'cause that's not childish.
There's no point in talking, 'cause you don't get it.
I do get that you're not taking the room In the loft because of me.
Actually, I want to be closer to school.
Right.
So now you're a child and a liar.
Got it.
I'm a liar? That's ironic.
You were working in a bar.
You were wearing an engagement ring, Talking about some guy you'd been dating for years? You were wearing a u of o t-shirt.
We spent the whole night together, and you said nothing.
If I'd known that you were 16 Then nothing would have happened.
Eric, I am sorry.
Maybe I lied because I liked you, And I didn't want you to think that I was I was engaged and 16, like I was some screwed-up kid.
Lux, look, I'm sorry.
I'm not angry at you.
I'm upset at the situation.
This whole thing is my fault and that You're right.
Maybe we should go somewhere and talk.
Thank you, Mr.
Franklin.
Dropped a lot of knowledge on us.
Okay, people.
Put your hands together For my very favorite radio host, Portland's own Cate cassidy! Yeah! Hi! Whoo! Ý'm cate Uh, from, uh, From cate and ryan.
Okay, now I am just cate.
Uh, that's "cat" with an "e.
" Wow.
I know.
And she did this for a living.
Hi, guys.
Hey.
I'm sorry I'm late, everybody.
What are you doing? I mean, it's career day, And you're talking about our careers, so So, uh Anybody used to listen to us on the radio, k100? Right on.
Yeah.
I like it.
So, what you're probably thinking is, "how do you get a start in radio?" Cate, why don't you tell them how this all began, Back in our days at, uh, z-rock? I was a production assistant.
Production assistant? Low man on the totem pole.
I, on the other hand, Was the host of the afternoon show.
You see, cate's main job was To bring the on-air talent coffee and doughnuts.
How many times did you manage To do your job and bring me coffee and a doughnut? Zero.
So, eventually, at some point, We had to ask cate point blank, "do you even want this job?" And the answer was Of course I didn't want the job.
What I wanted, and what I've always wanted Was to be on the air.
So they put me on, Uh One afternoon, From the booth, to banter with ryan.
Yeah, and, oh, by the way, she-she bombed.
big time.
Yes, and I realized I had a lot to learn.
That instead of being so focused on where I wanted to be, I should be ready when I got there.
So the next time that I got the opportunity I would be ready.
So, a couple years later, I'm at k100, and I had The opportunity to pick a new co-host, And I remembered cate.
I remembered how she knew what she wanted, And how she wasn't afraid to fail and try again, And how she'd-she'd taken The time to just step back and learn.
So I chose her.
That is why I wanted to work with her then, And that is why I still do.
Where's lux? I don't know.
I should have told you the truth about Who I was.
But if I had, we would have never gone to the ocean, And I would be engaged right now, Without ever knowing that there was More.
Now, I know that billboard was just a billboard, Not really the ocean.
And you were just a guy Who was being nice, Not a guy that actually liked me.
And maybe I just I don't know the difference anymore Between what's fake and what's real.
And-and that's not your fault.
It's mine.
I'm just I'm trying to be this person everybody expects me to be.
You know, I'm supposed to be listening to career day, And getting my grades up, And-and thinking about my future.
But all I keep thinking about Do you know what I keep thinking about? That night.
And-and you can say what you want, but To me It was real.
Lux It was real.
Lux! Hey.
Been looking for you.
You missed cate's speech.
Yeah, it got good towards the end, But ha-ha You got to see the beginning.
This is going on youtube.
Hey, I'm eric.
Uh, Mr.
Daniels Was just quizzing me for the test tomorrow.
Great expectations.
Oh.
You're the guy that was gonna Rent the room what happened? Oh, sorry, man, I wish I could.
Uh, there's kind of circumstances That are out of my control, So it's just not gonna work out.
Dude, that sucks- you're giving up a good thing.
Yeah, I know.
Hey, thanks for understanding about the place.
It's nice to meet you.
Yeah.
Hey.
Are you all right? You missed a good porta-potty speech.
Oh.
Hey.
Are you that stressed about this test? What if I fail? Well, uh, cate and I are both unemployed, so The one thing you don't have to fear In this family is failure.
I mean, I think we pretty much both have that covered.
You didn't want that job, anyway.
Well, you-you know what's the weird thing? I kind of did.
But I guess I thought that if I never even tried, I couldn't fail.
But I am trying.
And Failing- that's the problem.
I get it.
I do.
And I will stay up late and I'll study with you, too.
You know? Whatever it takes.
It's kind of like what cate said in her speech.
Um I mean, neither one of us can give up on what we want.
You got this, kiddo.
So do I.
All right.
Ah.
Oh.
Thank you for being here today.
You know, for being the one person in lux's life That actually has a career.
well, I wanted you to know that I had your back.
'cause I know it Hasn't felt like it lately.
You know, maybe I should have walked away, too, From the show, but I-I didn't.
I didn't for a lot of reasons.
The biggest one is you and lux.
Quitting Could have meant anything.
It could've meant less money, uh A new city, a gig that just didn't fit with having a kid.
That's why I wanted to help her study.
That's why I wanted to do this This speech today.
I just I guess I just wish that somebody Would have asked me to do career day.
'cause I want to feel like she's my kid, too, you know? Ryan, I'm sorry.
You know, I should have realized that You know, but this whole work thing- it's just a lot.
But You know, you're right.
Having a kid and being married Sometimes it means sacrifices.
Well, who knows better than you that Taking a step back Can help you move forward? And maybe, you know, you'll end up exactly where you want to be.
I know, but you really think it's gonna work, me producing? We'd make it work.

I wrote a paper about it in college.
The clock is ticking on your five minutes.
Okay, look, My dad he's an impressive guy, And when I was a little kid, I wanted to be just like him.
But somewhere along the way, I stopped trying, Because I knew, on some level, That I could never be just like him.
So I picked something so opposite of what he was.
You know, I never saw myself as a business guy, Because I was afraid that I couldn't cut it, And I don't want my kid to ever not try because of that.
You know, I've had a hard time admitting what I want.
And I've lost things Because of that.
You know, And I'm not about to let another thing I want slip away, And you shouldn't let me slip away.
I may not have the right rÃA©sumÃA© or credentials, But I'm a hard worker, I'm determined, and I'm fearless Because, believe me, I have nothing to lose.
