Parenthood s02e07 Episode Script

Hey, Gordon, nobody's phoning it in.
You are an essential part of this company, and we're in trouble.
You spend all your time at this Kelsey's house.
I mean, I wanted you to make a friend, but come on.
We're all just crazy about Amber, by the way.
You were just great tonight.
The part that Kelsey said, that thing about me being your boyfriend, I didn't completely hate the sound of that.
If we're going to have another baby, Julia There has to be room for me.
You can't be the one making all the plans.
And I just I can't be the "yes man.
" Jasmine, I've done some pretty awesome things in my life, but nothing would be as awesome as marrying you.
Will you marry me? We have some really exciting news.
You might want to sit down for this.
Should I tell him? Yeah, tell him.
Mommy and Daddy are getting married.
Isn't that exciting? We're getting married! Do you know what a wedding is? When you get married? Right.
Exactly.
And there's a cake.
Oh, and there's a huge cake.
Like a four-tier cake.
I like cake.
Do you have any questions? Uh, can I go play until we have to leave for school? Sure you can.
Go ahead.
Well, that was disappointing.
It was like a total non-event.
Babe, he's six, and a boy.
Weddings aren't high on his list of thrills.
Grounded? Yeah.
You went to a college party across the bay.
You told me you were going to be at Kelsey's house, so you're grounded.
Right, I get it.
We've been through this before, though.
What does that mean exactly? Come home and do your homework, and you have a miserable time for three days.
Why would I be grounded when I did the right thing? I mean, what was I supposed to do in that situation? Was I not incredibly responsible and awesome? Yeah, you were responsible when your friend got drunk and you did the right thing in calling me, but you lied to me.
That's why you're grounded.
Mom But, Mom.
Has she told her mom yet? I don't know.
It's not my business.
Amber.
It's not your business.
She was fished out of a pool.
She threw up in a car.
Mom.
She was really drunk.
I get it.
I'm sure you've made worse mistakes than that.
And if she doesn't tell her, I will.
Mom.
Mom.
Drew! Mom, can you just listen? Come eat in here! Can you just listen? Okay.
So, today we're going to demo.
That's where we take these big, huge hammers and we smash the whole bathroom to pieces just It's awesome.
That sounds fun.
It is fun.
Then we get started on the remodel.
We're gonna add new tile, put in a bathtub, maybe a shower.
Check out these fixtures I got.
These are awesome.
Feel how heavy that is.
Ooh.
Oh, yeah.
That's the stuff right there.
Fancy.
It is fancy, yes.
Hey.
Hey! We are actually running ahead of schedule today.
Uh-huh.
We are only going to be five minutes late to school today.
Oh, really? And you can't You can't be late to the job site.
Get out of here.
Do you need this? Yeah, I know.
Yep, yep, yep.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you so much.
Mmm.
Welcome.
I got it covered.
Kick their construction asses! Yeah! I love you! I love you, Dad! Bye! That is how marriage works, give and take.
Hey! Good morning, Mary.
Good morning, Adam.
Hey.
I need to talk to you.
Yeah? We've got a problem.
Listen, Gordon, if, uh If this is about my sister, Sarah, I'd really rather stay out of it, you know? This has nothing to do with Sarah, except for the fact that she works for this company.
Oh, good.
What's up? I've been looking at the books, and the numbers just don't add up.
I can't make it work.
Look, Gordon, I know we're looking for a turnaround here, but I really believe in the spring line.
We're just about to test the shoe clicker thing.
We're about to test that.
Listen to me, Adam.
Adam, Adam.
We're never going to make it to spring.
What are you talking about, Gordon? I need immediate layoffs, like yesterday.
Six or seven people, at least.
Gordon, just keep it down for a second, all right? What do you mean we need to lay off seven people? That's a significant amount of our workforce.
I know that.
What's going on here? I got a meeting in L.
A.
Today with a potential investor who could save our asses.
But if he doesn't come through, you've got to figure out where we're cutting.
Listen, Gordon, I don't know exactly what's going on here, but I don't want to be alone in choosing who gets to keep and who gets to lose their job here.
Adam, you know this group better than I do.
Better than anyone, in fact.
You're better at this than me.
Yeah, what, firing people? Just do me a favor.
Yeah.
Come up with a list.
What's wrong? Hey, uh, nothing.
I just woke up early.
Hi! Hey! You looking for me? Did you get my text? If I had, I wouldn't be wearing this.
You look pretty cute.
Oh, no, I don't.
Thanks.
It's good to see you.
Good to see you.
I had a fun time the other night.
Did you? Any time you need help rescuing some drunk teenagers, who want to barf in the back of my car, I am at your service.
That was amazing how you saved that girl.
So, about the text, I've got to go to L.
A.
On some business.
I've got some stuff to do there and I know it's a little bit short notice, but I was wondering if you'd, you know, want to come along? You're kidding? Yeah.
I'd love to! A couple of days in L.
A.
When? Now.
Now? Yes, right now.
Now? Uh Yeah.
It's this incredible suite at The Montage in Beverly Hills.
They've got this amazing spa there.
I really just think it's important for us to, you know, spend some time with each other.
God! That's like the best offer I've had ever! I Oh.
Uh, hi.
Yeah.
Listen, I I can't.
I can't do it.
I understand.
If you change your mind, you know, call me any time.
Thanks for the offer.

No.
I meant we had an emergency at work.
Well, what is it? We found a burst pipe.
So, we've got wood rot.
We've got mold.
It's like a FEMA situation.
Over there in the corner, if you could take a look at the mold.
Yeah, so anyway, we got to bring in some fans, we've got to replace some beams.
Julia, we've got these guys It's just not pretty.
for 10 more minutes.
You need to finish today.
That is the emergency? Yeah.
It sounds awful.
What can I do? Is there any way you could pick up Syd today? If I duck out here, we're gonna fall way behind.
We've only got two of us today.
Joel I know.
I know.
Believe me, hon, I know.
It's just, I'm I'm really jammed up here.
I have the partners in my office right now for a meeting.
I cannot Please.

Okay.
All right.
You're an amazing woman.
Thank you.
I love you.
Just in your own time.

She's not You have to tell her, but.
Hi.
Amber.
Hi, Kelsey.
You're grounded.
You can't have friends over.
Mom, can you just give us one minute.
It's very important.
My feet are killing me.
It's okay.
No offense.
Just, no No.
Okay.
It's okay.
Can I talk to you for a second? Yes.
Look, I'm sorry.
I just got home.
My feet are killing me.

I understand.
What's going on? Listen, she cannot tell her mom yet.
Oh, no.
She's really Listen.
Her mom will kill her if she tells her in the wrong way or if she tells her right away.
It's a big problem.
They don't have the kind of relationship that we have.
Like, we can talk to each other about stuff.
Like, even though we fight, you know, you know me as a person.
And we, like, respect each other and stuff.
And they don't have that.
And she's, like, gonna get in a lot of trouble.
Okay.
It's gonna be a big deal.
I'm just Okay.
I trust you.
Okay? Yeah.
You're a good friend.
Thank you.
Hey! Max, Haddie, dinner! How're you doing? Good.
Guess what I made? Looks like pork chops.
You're right.
And salad.
Mmm-hmm.
What's wrong? I have to fire seven people.
What? I have to fire seven people.
The company is not doing well at all, and Gordon wants me to fire seven people so we don't go under.
Oh, my God, honey.
I mean Look, don't Don't worry.
It's nothing to be afraid of.
I mean, we'll be okay.
Yeah, we'll be okay.
We'll be okay.
What about everybody else? I mean, who are you going to let go? I don't know.
I'm making a list in my head.
Who? Honey, can we please not do this? Tell me.
Please just tell me.
I know all these people.
Bill.
From accounting.
Bill? Honey, you can't fire Bill.
He has a girl that just went off to college.
I know he does, but everybody's got something.
Jack Gillman just bought a house.
Ari's going through a divorce.
And, you know, Manny's kid is blind.
I mean, everybody's got something.
Manny's kid isn't That makes me feel guilty about it.
Did you just make that up? Manny's kid is blind? Why would I make up that Manny's kid is blind? I know he wore glasses, but I don't think he's blind.
He's legally blind.
I need a beer.
Forget the beer.
We need to get wrecked.
What does "getting wrecked" mean? It's just an expression, Max.
Are we going to go to a wrecking yard? No, Max.
Nobody's going to get wrecked.
Let's just sit down and have dinner, okay? No, no, no, no, no.
Is a wrecking ball going to come in and go I'm not everyone's mother.
I'm You know, I did the best I could.
And if she wants to tell her own mother, and that helps Amber keep her friendship, then, you know, that's okay.
Right? Absolutely! Right, Mom? Yeah, these are the tough decisions.
Mom, what does that mean? Oh.
Dad, what does she mean? I agree with you 100%, honey.
She's not my daughter, you know? Hello? It sounds to me like Amber's the one making this decision.
Mother, she definitely is not.
But you know what a tough time we have and I I'm just trying to let her grow up a little bit.
And, you know, she had a good Some good points.
You know what? Teenage girls can be very convincing.
You don't have to tell me.
But this is really serious.
And I don't even want to think about what could happen if she tried driving in that condition.
And you have to think about what you would want if the situation was reversed, you know, if it was Amber.
Okay, my lady, here they come.
Joel's world-famous pegs and eggs delivered straight to you.
Oh! Mmm-hmm.
Yum! Thank you.
What's this? This is a school project.
She has to build the Eiffel Tower out of Popsicle sticks.
You mean I have to.
Mmm-hmm.
This is how teachers get back at parents.
You know, homework like this.
Babe, thank you again for yesterday.
You're welcome.
We did it! Yes, we did! Whoo! Go team! Although I was up until 1:00 a.
M.
Playing catch-up.
I mean, what are you going to do? No.
You are awesome.
Uh, so today, you think, um, I could drop Syd off with you after school? Um, I don't think that's going to work.
I can't take her to the work site with me, you know, kids and power tools probably not the best combo.
Yeah.
So, I'm going to pack her bag full of, uh, games and some books and her Leapster.
And with any luck you won't even notice that she's there.
She'll be so content.
Honey, I can't have her in my office at the firm.
That's a disaster.
Uh, well Okay, all right.
Yes.
I have a conference call with New York, I will move it.
I have client meetings, I will move them.
Great! And I will just stay in my office all day red-lining contracts.
Right.
And they'll have to understand that because I'm a mother with a child and these things happen.
These things happen.
Sometimes, right? You sure? I'm I'm sure.
I'm sure.
I love you.
I love you.
All right.
Will do.
Kick butt! Sydney! Look it, Jensen.
Dun-dun-dun Aw, too cool.
Oh, wow, I want to drive that! It's a command station in space.
You can't drive it.
You can't drive a command station? All right.
We need more blue pieces.
Yeah, get 'em for the command center.
You got to have blue pieces.
Jensen, can I ask you a question? Jensen, if your parents were getting married, wouldn't you be excited? My mom and dad are married.
Right, right.
Yeah, I know.
But, let's say they weren't married.
Wouldn't you think that would be like the coolest thing in the world if they got married? You're nuts! You think I'm I got my blue pieces.
Normal question.
Okay.
All right, I'm gonna Okay, bye.
All right, bye.
Hi, Sarah! Hi! I'm so glad to see you.
It's Jennifer.
I know.
I know.
It's I guess Kelsey talked to you.
Amber left it at our place.
So Oh.
I just thought I'd swing by.
You're right on the way to Pilates.
Oh, her iPod.
Thank you for Halloween, by the way.
I know.
I'm glad she told you.
She had such a good time.
All those costumes, it sounds like so much fun.
Your dad as Lady Gaga! I mean, I got to see the pictures.
So do I.
Oh, that's so great.
We don't do Halloween.
Oh.
I don't eat sugar.
So Right.
What's the point? You know, uh Are you okay? I thought she would have told you by now.
The girls were not here for Halloween.
I'm sorry? They went to a fraternity party across the bay.
What? And Kelsey actually got really drunk.
Amber called from the party and I went and picked them up.
Kelsey really wanted to tell you herself.
Well, she didn't.
Right.
That does not sound like Kelsey.
I don't know.
It didn't seem like her first beer, but, you know, they're teenagers.
Oh, she's never done anything like that before.
Okay, well, I don't know.
I mean I'm really sorry.
Oh, my God! Don't worry.
Poverty's not contagious.
Um I know.
I know.
Uh, I spilled A trash bag broke on me outside actually and it's not a big deal, you know? I don't care if trash breaks on me.
I cleaned it all up.
Like, I cleaned it up.
It's not a big deal.
Oh, you heard of double-bagging, right? Yeah.
Try it.
Great.
What's wrong? What happened? Why? Why? Why what? Why would you tell after you promised? Why? Honey, she told me what Kelsey had said.
It was an enormous lie.
I couldn't play along.
Of course she's gonna lie about it.
She can't tell her the truth yet.
I would have had to lie, too.
Well, I'm sorry.
I really needed you to not say anything, Mom, because now she won't let me hang out with Kelsey anymore.
What do you mean? She said that everything is my fault.
She said that I am the problem.
What? And that I'm a bad influence and that Kelsey's not allowed to hang out with me anymore.
Honey, no.
Yes, Mom.
Please, listen.
I'll call her.
I'll fix it.
You can't, Mom.
It doesn't matter.
She won't listen and so now I don't get to hang out with my one friend here.
My one friend, and I'm all alone, and it just sucks, Mom.
I thought I could trust you.
And I'm very, very disappointed with you.
God.
It's not gonna happen, Adam.
Did you figure out who we're gonna cut? Uh, yeah, listen.
Gordon, I've been thinking.
We can be more creative about these layoffs.
Braverman, listen.
No, just listen to me for a second, Gordon.
Instead of layoffs, we can furlough.
We can have four-day work weeks, three-day work weeks for some people, if necessary.
The big companies do this.
State governments do this.
It's been proven to work.
Listen, Adam, how can I be more clear, okay? This isn't some creative assignment, okay? I need to fire seven people.
Look, these are people, okay, that we have worked with for 15 years.
You think I don't know that? Stop thinking.
Just do it, okay? You need me to come up there and hold your hand? No, Gordon.
Thank you.
I'll handle it.
All right.
Good-bye.
Hey, I'm going on a Can't you knock? Come in.
Coffee run.
Do you want anything? 'Cause it sure seems like you do.
Yes, I would love a coffee.
Thank you.
Hey, um, Gordon asked me out.
I don't know what I'm gonna do, but, you know, just checking it with you.
Unbelievable.
I guess it's not.
What's the problem? He's a little prick! That's the problem.
I thought you guys liked each other.
Why so harsh? Listen, Sarah, I've known this guy a lot longer than you have, okay? Okay, well, you know him differently and I'm getting to know him outside work, you know? So maybe we just have had different experiences? Yeah, I mean, I don't know who'd be the better judge of his character.
I mean, the guy who he's used, abused, and lied to for 15 years, or the latest girl he's trying to get in bed.
I don't know.
Thanks.
It's such a compliment.
It's a tough call.
Sarah, I'm sorry, okay? I'm really sorry, but if anybody doesn't know this guy, it's you.
All right, well, I'm gonna make my own decisions.
But for you, I'm gonna decide decaf.
Oh, okay.
Great, thanks.
'Cause I think you're a little worked up.
Yeah, mmm-hmm.
Thank you.
Honey, I'm home.
Hey, Jules! In here.
How you doing, baby? Hi, Dad.
Come on in.
Pop a squat.
You know what I'm saying? Sydney here's just teaching me the fine art of checkers.
Where's Joel? Oh, Joel is still at the job site.
You know he's slammed.
Poor guy.
He called in a panic and because Camille is curing homelessness at the community center, I showed up like a knight in shining armor to be on Sydney duty.
He brought his horse.
I did.
It's right outside.
Wow.
What is this? That's dinner.
And you're welcome.
It is really good, Mommy.
You should try some.
Greasy goodness.
Right, Grandpa? Uh-huh.
Very greasy.
Goes down easy.
No, thank you.
All right.
Hey, guess what? My buddy says that Joel is doing such a great job, he may want him to remodel his whole house.
How about that? How about that? I am very proud of my son-in-law.
Sure you don't want a soda? I want you to know this is not easy for me.
It's not easy at all.
But the truth is that this company has not made the profits we hoped it would.
In fact, we're We're way in the red.
And so I'm afraid I'm gonna have to lay you off.
I'm very sorry.
I feel terrible about this and I just want you to know how much I valued you working here.
Okay, honey, that was really, really good.
Mmm-hmm.
But you can't start crying.
I wasn't crying.
- No, Dad.
- Mom is right.
You can't ask somebody to take care of you emotionally when you're firing them.
That's not what I'm doing.
Well, okay.
That is what I'm doing.
You know, for a teenager, honey, sometimes you're pretty wise.
Thank you.
There is this guy at the food bank that I'm working at.
He treats me like I'm an idiot teeny-bopper with, like, a bleeding heart.
And, like, even if I am, it's rude.
- That is rude.
- Well, you're not.
It's, like, subtle though.
He's so good at it.
- That's the worst kind.
- It is.
He's the worst.
And, like, just respect the people you're around.
Yeah, well, listen, If you really feel like he's being, you know, derisive with the laughter, you should call him on it.
- I'd punch him in the groin.
- Kick him where it counts.
Get him right in the I'm fine.
I don't care.
God, I don't want to do this.
You built the Eiffel Tower.
Had to get done, didn't it? Look at you! You rock! Although you built it a little too good, if you ask me, but thank you.
Sure.
She at least go down easy tonight? It was six books three songs and an IOU for 20 minutes of computer time.
Yeah, that's a lot.
Hey, how'd it go with Zeek? I'd really rather not talk about it.
Are you pissed because I called your dad in? No, I No, it's fine.
Yeah? Yeah, whatever.
'Cause when you say it's fine, you make it sound like it's actually not fine.
Babe, up until 20 minutes ago, I was building a tiny lattice tower out of Popsicle sticks and a glue gun.
Now, I need to get this brief written for the head of litigation.
Okay.
I proposed to Jasmine.
Oh, my God! Open up! Big news, huh? Wow! Worth opening the door for.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Wait.
She said yes, right? Oh, yeah.
Cheers.
Congratulations! I am beside myself.
You didn't see that coming, did you? I can't believe my little brother's gonna take the plunge.
Something wrong? Mmm-mmm.
I'm good.
Uh-huh.
Jabbar doesn't seem to get it though, which is kind of weird.
What do you mean he doesn't get it? Well, I just expected him to be really excited when I told him like, whoo, fireworks and happily ever after! But he doesn't really care.
He's six.
Yeah, that's That's exactly what Jasmine said.
But, uh, I don't know.
I was real excited to tell him and he just You know, he didn't Crosby, are you okay? Yeah.
I think he was part of why I did it.
Well, how big a part? Pretty big part.
Mmm-hmm.
Dude, I don't know, man.
It happened so fast.
Yep, right.
It was, like, I just felt this immense pressure building and then there was this moment and then I kind of got swept up in it and then all of a sudden I'm asking and she's saying yes and then I just, maybe I don't know if it's that or I'm afraid that maybe my life is gonna change and I'm not ready for that.
It's completely natural to be having some doubts.
So the proposal was unplanned, all right? Everything with you and Jasmine and Jabbar has been unplanned.
I mean, you backed into it, but it's really worked out, right? Jasmine, she's great, right? Yeah, she's, like, perfect.
You got a great family, right? She is good and he is great.
Mmm-hmm.
So you just think it's nerves? Yeah, I think so.
And I think it's natural.
I do.
You think so? I do.
You do? I do.
Stop saying, "I do.
" Congratulations.
Thank you.
This is it.
Love you, honey.
Love you, too.
Good luck.
Have a good day.
Hey.
What's going on? Oh, one of my guys screwed up some wiring and if I don't get in and fix it, the client's new radiant floor will just be a floor.
So So you're leaving right now? I wrote you a note.
Yeah, and there's some coffee over there.
Babe, you can't leave right now.
I have to make that conference call to New York and I just I know.
I know.
I know.
I'm sorry, but I just got to get in early on this, Jules.
Babe, I can't do this.
What can't you do? I mean, I'm leaving work early, I'm coming home, I'm working all hours of the night.
Yes.
You're not even here.
My dad's here, feeding our child crap.
I think your dad did a fine job.
It's not It's one night.
It wasn't that bad.
You know what? It's been a hard week, but we're gonna get through it.
We're right at the tail end there.
What about the next one? My dad told me this guy wants to hire you again.
Are you gonna do it? You know, I don't I'm only focused on this job.
I'm just trying to get through this job.
Okay, listen, I know we said there needs to be more room for you, especially if we're going to have a second child Yes, we did.
but I need to understand, you know, is this what that looks like? Come on.
Because I don't know if we can manage it.
I don't know how that works.
How can we manage this? I don't know.
I don't know, but we'll figure it out, okay? We need to discuss We need to discuss this.
Can we Oh, my God.
Yes, yeah, okay.
Let's discuss this.
We just need to discuss.
Yeah, let's talk about this.
You don't want me to work ever.
Oh, give me some credit, Joel.
I moved mountains I moved mountains for you for years, Julia, and this is one week I'm asking from you.
I'm not trying to be ungrateful.
I'm just trying to face reality here.
Okay, what reality is that? Just spit it out.
The reality is that you're working all hours of the night.
I'm working mad hours.
Yes.
There's no one watching our child.

That's not what I meant.
I'm trying to be practical and I mean Sweetie.
Hey, it's okay.
Have you heard from Kelsey? Um, yeah, briefly.
She just She told her mom, but, you know.
She confessed everything, but it just doesn't matter, 'cause her mom is still blaming me, so That's terrible.
That's real It's outrageous.
Really not fair.
I'm sure she'll come around.
Maybe.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
I know you're feeling lonely.
I understand what that feels like.
I'm fine.
She was a little weird anyway.
Let's face it.
You're gonna be okay.

Why does it always have to be this way with you? Hey, what are you doing here? I came to help.
To do this with you.
Is that Glenfiddich 18 I smell? Very astute.
Listen, Gordon, you don't have to do this, all right? You can go home.
I can handle it.
I don't know how this happened.
I just Yeah.
I'm so sorry.
I really am, Adam.
Go home.
I mean, it's just not fair for me to lay all this on you, right? You know, it's not gonna be helpful for you to appear so emotionally undone when you're firing people, you know? I mean, you can't ask them to take care of you emotionally.
It's okay, Gordon.
You always handle everything.
You're right.
You're right.
Thanks, Adam.
Yeah.
Hey.
Uh, can you help me fix this whisk on that big mixer guy? Or you could just read the directions on the side.
Okay, uh Would you please stop talking to me like I'm an idiot? I don't think you're an idiot.
Okay.
Then what do you think I am? Do you think that I am a loser because I come here and I care and I try.
Or do you Do you just think that I'm a privileged little Little white girl? Are you not getting enough attention? I have no idea what you're talking about right now.
Um, well, I come here every day and I give 100% and you sit there and you judge me and you don't even know me.
Yes, I do.
Kids like you come through here all the time.
They think it looks good on a college application.
Yeah, okay.
So I want to go to college.
Is that a terrible thing? Does that make me a bad person? No, it doesn't, but you're here for a week, maybe two and then you're gone.
I guess you all seem kind of lightweight to me sometimes.
No offense, but it's hard enough for me running this place without all that turnover.
So, I'm sorry.
You're just here and you're completely selfless and this isn't a career path for you and you don't want this to be your job? You're absolutely right.
It's my job.
I get paid.
It's a career I'm interested in.
Okay, great.
Thank you.
Good to know.
Mostly because my family used to eat here.
This place probably saved my life.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Can you just fix the mixer? Yeah, I know.
That's what I'm gonna do.
Thank you.
