Parenthood s02e13 Episode Script

We need to be on the same page.
We have to discipline him.
I need you to back me up on that.
We're a team.
Thanks for spending time with him.
I love him.
He's my grandson.
You don't like how I'm directing the play, you spice it up however you like.
Joel, I'm begging you, man.
You got to come back.
If you don't, this play is going to be the biggest disaster in California since the earthquake of 1905.
Our most talented director is back from vacation.
Joel! Alex.
Adam Braverman.
Nice to meet you, Mr.
Braverman.
What'd they think about me? Did I pass? They loved you.
It's best if you don't see Alex anymore.
Hey, Alex.
I'm just picking up the last donation for the day, and the truck doesn't have to be back for a couple of hours.
Do you want to get some food? You mean like now? Yeah, now.
I'm like five minutes from your house.
I'm starving.
I haven't eaten anything all day.
Hello? Haddie, are you there? Could you just give me ten minutes? I'm not really dressed.
You don't have to get dressed.
Just throw some sweats on.
I really want to see you.
I miss you.
You know, I bet this is a really good movie.
ADAM: Yeah, yeah.
All right, Haddie! We're out of here.
Okay, bye, have fun! Call us if you need us.
Okay, yeah, I'll see you in a few minutes.
# Now that we have struck it rich # We should keep in mind # That's you, buddy.
I can't see.
That's okay.
You just say the line.
I can't.
I forgot it.
Okay, Charles, can we cut that? What do you think? All right, I'll talk to him.
All right.
Hey, buddy, come here.
Hey, what's going on? We've done this like a hundred times.
But we never had a light before.
Well, that's part of the dress rehearsal, buddy.
We can see how it's actually going to be on the night of the show.
It hurts my eyes.
Listen, the spotlight's really cool 'cause it lets us see your big moment.
Yeah, super cool.
You look awesome.
I don't want to do this anymore.
Buddy, you don't have to be scared of anything.
You're doing great.
You just Yeah, you keep on trucking.
Could somebody else do it? I will! Buddy, you can't quit right now.
The play is in two days.
I want to be with those guys.
You want to be with those guys? Listen, we got to keep going here.
Would it be all right if we make this switch? Yeah.
Yeah? Okay, Syd, get behind the curtain.
Jabbar, you're down there in that empty space.
All right, guys, picking up where we left off.
Mom, remember the fundraiser I had to do for baseball? Yes.
Okay, well I kind of slacked off on it, now I have to sell all this by Friday, and if I don't sell it, I can't go to the tournament.
What is it? It's, like, wrapping paper.
Christmas stuff? Yeah, Christmas stuff.
Drew, that's insane.
It's January.
I know.
Mom, please.
Why didn't you sell it during the holidays? Please, Mom, look, you're kick-ass at sales.
You're the only chance I have at selling this.
Honey, are you kidding me? Yeah, really, you can't do this to your mother.
You can't do this to your son.
I can't go to the tournament if I don't sell this.
Okay, we'll figure something out.
I'll help you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'll go get the other box.
The other box? - Where is it? - All right.
Where is it? What are you guys doing? Didn't you just leave? Max forgot his gift card.
Well, why does that matter? Why does it matter that he forgot that? All right, are you going somewhere? No, I left my bag downstairs and I needed to come get it.
I thought you had to study.
I do.
I'm studying.
I'm taking a break.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't look like you're taking a break.
I'm Okay.
Yes! Go, Mom! Thank God.
Yes! - You've got the gift card.
- Excellent.
Who the hell is that? I don't know.
I'll get it.
Hey.
You just go to the movies.
Hey, what's up? Hey, tag, you're it.
Let's go.
You're it.
Come on! Hey, why are you full of energy? Haddie! Mr.
Braverman.
Alex, what are you doing here? Is there something wrong? I think you should leave.
Am I missing something right now? Dad, Alex was just, like, driving in the neighborhood.
Uh-huh.
Just in the neighborhood.
Yeah.
He was just in the Okay, you two aren't going anywhere together today.
You should leave.
Am I missing something? I'm sorry.
I think you should go and I'll call you.
Alex! Do you want to come to the movie? - Max, please.
- I'm just going to call you.
I don't think that's going to happen.
You're not calling anybody! Stop.
MAX: He can come.
We have the money.
- You're something else.
- Max, get in the car.
What? I did not raise you to be a liar and a sneak.
We talked about this, honey.
What is he doing here? Why couldn't you come and talk to us about this? Why did you have to sneak around behind our back? And lie to us? You didn't You weren't listening to me.
Well, now is not the time to talk about it.
Get in the house.
Just go.
You're grounded! Go.
Excuse me, sir, how would you like to buy some paper? No thanks.
Hey, excuse me, would you like to buy some paper? Excuse me, miss, do Hey, sir, how do you feel about paper? Sorry, I'm late for work.
Maybe say what kind of paper, you know, that it's wrapping paper.
I'm really bad at this.
You're not really bad at this.
Yeah, I am.
You just You know, maybe try a little Excuse me, miss? A little comedy.
Have wrapped your presents for Martin Luther King Day yet? No? Okay.
Well, I have a dream that this would make them look super special.
Okay, what do you got? Well, we have reindeer Yes.
Snowflakes So, it's Christmas paper.
Yeah.
It seems weird, 'cause you say to yourself, "The holidays are over.
" It's not that.
I'm Buddhist.
Oh.
We don't celebrate Christmas.
If you had any Visakha Puja, I could help you out.
All right.
Sorry.
Good luck.
Thanks.
They don't make Visakha Puja paper.
I wish we could just do what everyone else does.
Why? What'd everyone else do? No one else sells any of this.
They just have their parents buy it all.
I don't believe that.
They do.
I promise.
Well, that's terrible.
Even if I had $500, I wouldn't do that.
That's cheating.
Yeah, I guess.
Hey.
Excuse me, sir.
Do you want to Would you like to buy some No, thanks.
Well, he just didn't look friendly.
The kids, they love the garlic mashed potatoes.
All right.
Thanks, Torrey.
I'm so sorry.
They told you not to see me, didn't they? They're crazy, Alex.
They like you as a person.
They freaked out because, you know, you're not in school and you live on your own and Black, right? No, no, they're not racist.
I didn't come here to defend them or anything, but they're not racist.
They freaked out because you're in AA.
They barely even know me, Haddie.
I know.
That's exactly what I've been telling them.
I've told them that a hundred times.
You lied to me.
And you lied to them.
And when you did that, you made me part of your lie.
You've been lying so much, I don't even know which lie we're talking about right now.
I was going to tell you.
When were you going to tell me? I don't know Please, don't be mad at me.
Why wouldn't I be mad, Haddie? You know about the program.
You know how hard I've worked to be an honest person, and you just took that away from me without even thinking.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Look.
Look at me.
We can fix this.
I know we can get past this but I need you to help me.
All right, you need to go to school.
I got to take this.
Oakland Food Bank.
Hey, Haddie.
Aren't you supposed to be in school? Are you okay? Come with me.
He just doesn't like me anymore.
Oh, of course he does.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know how to fix it.
I don't know how it happened.
I wasn't trying to make it happen.
It's just like I don't know.
I hate my parents! Your parents don't know anything about Alex.
You know? All they know about him is that he's a recovering alcoholic and he's older.
So, you know.
You know.
Well.
Well, of course I do, but, sweetie, I can't get between you and your parents.
You know? They're doing only what they think is best for you, you know.
What am I supposed to do then? I think you should just let everything simmer down.
Just, you know, just let everything quiet down.
They'll come around.
Are you kidding me? I have to go to school? Of course you do.
Grandma.
Do you ever feel the butterflies? Yeah, everyone does.
I get them when I meet a new band I really want to work with, whenever I see your mom, because she's so pretty and cool, she makes me nervous.
And Speak of the devil.
Hey.
Mommy! Hi, cutie pie.
How was class? Good.
Yeah? Yeah.
What are you boys doing? Daddy's telling me about the butterflies.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I heard about that.
Just butterflies.
Do you ever get them? Yeah.
Remember when I had that big audition for Alvin Ailey? I had lots of butterflies then.
Remember she took all those deep breaths and was like shaking her muscles out, like That's not even how I do it.
Yeah, you look just like this.
You go Don't you remember? You look just like this.
That's what you look like.
So what's going on, Jabbar? You don't want to do your part anymore? No.
But Daddy wants me to.
I said that I would like him to try it again, you know.
Look, you don't have to do it if you don't want to.
It's okay.
Really? Good! Yeah.
Are you kidding me? Just like that? What? It's a kindergarten play.
It's not a big deal.
Yeah, it's a big deal if our kid becomes a quitter.
Our kid is not a quitter, okay.
I don't want to traumatize him.
Just let him have fun.
Okay, he was having fun.
And then he had one little hiccup during a dress rehearsal and now we're saying, "Throw in the towel.
" You know how important performing is to me.
Okay? But if he chokes out there, it'll kill me.
He doesn't need the pressure.
He's only six years old.
Look, just relax, baby.
Relax.
Okay? Sydney's going to be great, Jabbar's going to have fun, and you are going to be a very, very big hit.
It's all going to be fine.
It's all going to be fine.
Haddie, your mother and I would like to talk to you.
Okay.
Yeah? Why did you miss your first four classes today? We got an e-mail from school.
Yeah, you can read it if you want.
No, I'm fine, thanks.
Where were you? Answer your mother.
I'm about to.
Just tell us the truth.
Okay, I want to tell you the truth.
We're listening.
I was at the food bank, seeing Alex.
Unbelievable.
What are you doing? He hates me, because you told me I couldn't see him, so I had to lie.
What part of being grounded didn't you understand? Stop treating me like a baby! Then don't behave like one.
This is exactly why you're not supposed to be hanging out You know what? Fine.
I'm not going to, and I'm going to do whatever I want! I get to make decisions! And I'm going to see Alex! And you don't get to say anything about it! Oh, really? Yeah, really! That's right! Go to your room! And I want that cell phone.
Well, do you want my soul, too? You're being real smart right now.
Haddie, I want that I hate you! Kristina, come on, hold the door.
Honey, I'm holding it, okay? I'm not Handy Bob here.
Kristina, just take this.
Just take that, okay? Watch the point, honey.
I got it.
I got it.
Where are we putting this? Over there.
What are you doing? What does it look like we're doing? Are you serious? Yeah, when you regain our trust, you can have your door back.
Absolutely.
I don't Where am I supposed to change? The bathroom down the hall.
Why not? Right over there.
You guys have gone crazy.
This is absurd behavior.
No, we haven't.
No, no, no, we're not crazy.
What's crazy is you lying to your parents and sneaking around behind our backs.
Absolutely.
So, no longer are you just grounded.
You're so grounded.
No screens, nothing.
What? What? No cell phone, no TV.
No laptop.
You've given up your right to privacy.
Nope.
Absolutely.
Okay, how am I supposed to do my homework? There is a desktop downstairs you can do it on.
You'll figure it out.
Absolutely.
Listen to yourselves.
I met a person who I like, so I'm super grounded and I don't get to have a door? I don't get it.
This does not have to do with that.
This has to do with trust.
What? Exactly.
You have no legitimate reasons for anything.
Oh, honey, don't drag it.
Why? It just doesn't look nice.
Oh, my gosh.
Hi, everybody! Oops! Ow.
This is my son, Drew, and He's selling some wrapping paper, holiday-themed, at a wonderful discount.
It's for his baseball team.
Eddie, remember when I bought all those Thin Mints from your daughter? Payback.
You did.
But, you know, you didn't buy them.
No, I had them with my coffee.
You did.
But you promised to buy them.
Oh, right.
Oh.
Okay.
I'm gonna Well, anyway This is my son.
Oh, Cory.
Hi.
Hey.
This is my son, Drew.
Drew, this is my new boss, Cory.
Hi.
This is my son, Drew, and he's selling stuff for his baseball team.
You like to wrap? Like freestyling? Hey, how are you doing? What's up, Cory? Haven't seen you today.
What up, dude? What's up, my man.
It's getting better.
We got it.
We got it.
Yeah.
Hey, can I see you up in my office real quick? Why are you going so fast? Seriously? What? Look, can we not have the giftwrap fundraising parade coming through the lunch area, please? You've got to be kidding me.
Ben's son sold magazines a week ago.
But that was when Gordon was here.
And Gordon was never here.
Don't talk about him.
This guy's unpredictable, and I don't know where I stand with him, okay? I don't need anybody rocking the boat, okay? Okay.
I'm not rocking the boat.
I'm just trying to help my son.
All right, all right, I'm sorry, okay? I'm under a lot of pressure lately and Why? There's this work situation.
Haddie's got stuff going on.
What? She's got this boyfriend.
It's not her boyfriend but it's complicated.
Kristina and I don't approve.
Why, the kid from the soup kitchen? Yeah, well, he's not a kid, okay? He's 19.
He's got his own apartment.
He's in AA.
It's a complicated situation.
Can I get his number? I'm kidding.
It's awful.
No.
She's He's too old for her.
You're right.
Hey, that Cory guy gave me 40 bucks.
You're kidding.
He did? Great.
How much did you sell him? None.
He just kind of felt bad for me.
Oh, he took pity on you? Well, I guess it's only 460 to go.
All right.
All right.
So kind and generous of him.
Oh, no.
I wasn't even thinking I've got 47 dollars.
Okay, here you go.
Forty-seven, okay, thanks.
That, my friend, will get you the ugly poinsettia.
- Okay.
You guys ready? - Yes.
Taking it from right in the middle.
Here we go.
# Now that we have struck it rich Hey, Julia.
Hi.
Here you go.
Your mom made that for Sydney.
What? # We should keep in mind # Let's spread this gold around! Isn't that Sydney? Yep.
I thought Jabbar was playing the Gold Miner.
Yeah, he was, but he changed his mind, so She's doing a great job, though, isn't she? Yeah.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
Hey, Son.
Son? Hey, how come Jabbar is in the chorus? You know, I'm a little busy right now, Dad.
He's supposed to be the Gold Miner.
What the hell happened? Hey, can we take a break? My bad.
Sorry, Joel.
Only for you, Zeek.
He didn't know his lines? No, he knows his lines, okay? He just doesn't want to do it.
What do you mean, "He doesn't want to do it"? He can't quit.
I mean, he's a Braverman.
Bravermans don't quit.
Yeah, well, maybe you should tell that to Jasmine.
This is Jasmine's idea? It's What the hell does she know? I mean, come on.
Let me talk to him.
You're not going to talk to him, because he doesn't want to do it, and she doesn't want to to push him, so there's nothing for you to say.
Well, how do you feel about it? It doesn't matter how I feel about it.
She's the mom.
What do you mean, "It doesn't matter how you feel about it"? He's your son, Crosby.
You got to have a say in this thing.
You're setting a dangerous precedent here.
Who wears the pants in the family? What year do you think this is? The '50s? There's no one wearing the pants or not wearing the pants, you know.
It's a partnership.
God, that sounds dreadful.
Hey, Kris.
Oh, my gosh, hi.
How are you? Nice surprise.
Yeah, I just I thought I'd pop in.
I want to talk to you about Haddie.
You know this boy Alex, right? He works at the food bank? Yeah, I know him really well.
Okay.
You know, I've been working at the center for a long time.
I've known him since he was about nine.
Yeah.
You know, he's really a good kid.
He's, I'm sure, great.
But he's not really a kid.
He's 19.
Okay.
Anyway, that's the trouble we're having.
She thinks that she's in love with him, and she wants to date him.
And Adam and I told her that it's completely inappropriate.
Well, she told me all about it.
Who? Haddie, yesterday.
You saw her yesterday? When I drove her to school.
She didn't tell you? Wait.
No, she didn't tell me anything.
Aw, gee, I just assumed that she did.
No, she didn't.
It was just She was really upset.
There was a lot of drama.
A lot of tears on the way to school, you know, typical usual stuff for girls this age.
But I tried to work through it with her.
That's great.
That's wonderful.
She feels really comfortable confiding in you more than her own mother.
Well, Kristina I'm sorry, I just I can't Sometimes young girls feel more comfortable talking to someone who's not their mother.
And, of course, when you tell a teenage girl that she can't have something, she's going to want it even more.
I mean, you know that.
Right.
So, what you're saying is, basically, that Adam and I are making a mistake by not letting her date a Oh, nothat lives alone.
No, no, no.
That's not what I'm saying.
That's exactly what you're saying.
I'm so stupid that I even came over here.
That's not what I'm saying.
Kris, come on.
You could have called, Camille.
Kris, come on.
Krissy That's not what happened.
I'm just finishing up here at work, all right? Almost done, okay? I'll tell you what, I'll meet you there.
Okay.
Alex.
Mr.
Braverman.
Everything all right? Yeah, I didn't mean to pop up on you like this.
But, do you have a minute to talk? Sure.
Come on in.
Have a seat.
It's a nice place.
Thank you.
You're like the boss, right? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm like the boss.
I didn't know you and your wife told Haddie she couldn't see me.
If I'd known, I wouldn't have seen her.
I appreciate that.
And my wife will appreciate that.
Because I've worked really hard to be 100% honest with my life, especially with other people, to be honest to myself.
And I understand that you and Mrs.
Braverman think I'm not good enough for your daughter.
That is not the case.
I don't know what Haddie And I'm not trying to change your mind, sir.
But whatever bogeyman you think I am, I'm not that guy, not anymore.
You came here to my office.
You're talking to me like a man.
I appreciate that.
It's not that I don't think you're good enough for my daughter.
It's that Haddie will be an adult, dealing with adult things, for most of her life.
But right now, she's 16.
And her mother and I want her to be 16 without rushing into adulthood, for as long as she can.
You know where I'm coming from? I get it.
I wonder how I would have turned out if I had parents like you.
You're a good dad, Mr.
Braverman.
Thank you.
Thank you for your time.
Alex, I wish you'd had someone who cared for you that way when you were a kid.
You deserved that.
Haddie was the closest thing I've had to family in a really long time, sir.
It felt good.
No, well, Amy's adorable in it.
But listen, I have Lily's dad on the other line.
Can I call you back? Okay, thanks.
Hey, Dan, so, listen, there is room on the side of the stage for a tripod, and we would love to have video.
So, well, actually, Jabbar's not going to be featured in it anymore.
He's just in the choir.
So Yep, okay.
Let's go, buddy.
Time for school.
Okay, Mommy.
All right.
I'll see you down there.
So, big day.
Yeah, big day's here.
Everyone's fired up.
Good.
Everyone but our son, who's brushing his teeth like it's any old day.
Listen, I know you're disappointed, but that doesn't take anything away from what you're accomplishing for the school.
Yeah, the only person it takes away from is our son.
All right, we've been over this already.
You know what, he has two parents, okay.
I'm 50% and you're 50%, but for some reason, you act like the captain all the time and I'm the First Mate.
I want my vote counted.
This has nothing to do with anyone getting their way.
It's about Jabbar.
That is what it's about.
You don't even factor in what my opinion is, okay? He's a natural, all right? He's a ham, just like you.
And if we give him an out right now, we're sending the message that we don't think he can do it.
I just don't want you to push him into doing something that he's uncomfortable with.
Oh, like I'm going to make him uncomfortable? I'm not going to make my son uncomfortable.
Now I want to take another shot at getting him to change his mind.
All right? Fine.
Fine.
But don't come to me for the therapy bills when he's damaged for life.
All right, well, I'm not going to be sending him to therapy, so Hey.
Hi.
Yeah, well, we're all going to go to the play in the car together.
Okay.
Is that what you're wearing? Yes, Dad, this is what I'm wearing.
Okay.
What are you doing? I'm counting my tips.
It's fun.
How come? Because Drew had this assignment for school, where he had to raise $500 so he can play in the baseball tournament.
He had to sell this wrapping paper.
He didn't sell it, and How much is he short? Over $300.
Oh, my gosh.
And you want to bail him out? Oh, I'd love to be able to, but that's just not going to happen.
Not going to happen.
I don't know, Sarah, I think you're doing the right thing.
I mean, you got to teach him how to stand on his own two feet.
And I mean, any moron can bail their kids out, you know.
These kids have been standing on their two feet since the day they were born.
What I'd like to do is be the moron.
Right.
Guess that's not going to happen, huh? I guess not.
Okay, well, thank you.
Hey, listen I wanted to tell you, you're late with your rent.
I don't pay rent.
Really? Huh.
You should pay rent.
I don't know how that happened.
I'll go ahead and shut this.
Curtain is in 30 minutes.
So, the house is open.
That means we have to be very quiet.
So inside voices, okay? Hey.
Hey, Jabbar, you can do this.
But Mommy said I don't have to.
Yeah, you're right, but we talked Mmm-hmm.
And both Daddy and Mommy think that you should give it a try.
You can do it.
Give me your hands.
Feel that? We can't be with you on stage, but we're going to be right there.
All right? And so is everyone who loves you.
So, I want you to picture that all of us are holding your hand through the air.
But I only have two hands, Dad.
We'll be holding your hand in spirit, honey.
When you do this, you're gonna be so proud of yourself, it's gonna feel so good.
I promise.
What do you say? Okay.
Okay.
That's my boy! Okay, do you remember your line? Uh-huh.
Okay, good.
Costume? Um, yes, just over there.
Is Sydney gonna play the part, too? Hey.
Hey.
I just want to tell you that I'm not to be able to help you with the wrapping paper thing.
Seriously, it's okay.
No, I know it's okay.
But I just want to tell you, someday I hope to be the kind of mom who can frivolously throw buckets of money at my child's procrastination problems.
But, today is not that day, and I'm sorry.
Well, I sold it all.
No.
Yeah.
What? Who would buy it? I mean, good.
Some guy bought all of it.
Really? They probably just felt bad for me, but Oh, I'm so relieved.
So, we're off the hook.
Well, you can play in your tournament.
Yeah.
Look at you.
It's 'cause of that face.
It's cause of your little nosey, your little mouth.
So cute.
Who could say no to that? I don't know.
Listen, I'm glad.
But next year, you start early, okay? Let's not procrastinate.
Let's like get on it, like in July, 'cause if people will buy it in January, just imagine how, how much we could sell it in the summer.
That's true.
You know what I mean? We could start like a whole craze, like, plan early.
Okay, hon, listen, you really stepped up back there, you know.
Jabbar was scared and you really helped him out.
But he's not scared anymore, and he would like to play the Gold Miner part.
So If I give him the part back, what do I get? Syd, it doesn't work like that.
Just Well, no, no, no, no.
I will play.
I will play hardball.
I tell you what, how about I pick you up on Saturday, and take you to any movie you want to see, P.
G.
Or under.
Oh, Cros, you don't have to do this.
Do I get popcorn? Yeah, all you can eat.
And candy? Oh, wow! She certainly is Julia's daughter.
Isn't she? Yeah.
All-you-can-eat popcorn and candy.
Deal.
Pleasure doing business with you.
The pleasure was all mine.
And I don't get why if Haddie doesn't have to go, I still do.
Max.
It just does not seem like justice.
The play is about the history of California.
You love history.
No, I don't love history.
Yes, you do.
You're good at it.
I'm good at history.
I don't like it at all.
I like math.
Hey, Kris.
Hey, Cammy.
Now cut that out.
Cut what out? The thing with your arms that you do when you get mad, you do that.
I'm not mad.
Why would I be mad? I'm not mad, I was just a little chilly.
I should have called you, I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
I thought it was handled.
It's handled, okay? And we would really appreciate it if you would support us.
Hey, honey.
Hey, Ma.
Listen, honey, I'm sorry I'm late.
Uh, just Where are the kids? Max is over there sitting down and Haddie is in the car.
She doesn't want to come in.
Why? She's pouting.
Honey, that's unacceptable.
I know, but she doesn't want I'm going to go get her.
Don't bother.
The show's about to start.
Forget it.
Oh.
Forget it.
Believe me.
Okay.
All right.
Hey, ladies.
How are you? Very well, thank you, sir.
You can't resist me because I'm so beautiful Well and funny.
Great.
Yeah.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
So, I heard about the whole Alex battle.
I can't say that I'm a million percent onboard because the AA thing makes me really nervous, but I know that I've said that already.
I know you obviously really like him a lot so I'm going to help you.
Hello? Alex, hey, it's, uh, Amber, Haddie's cousin.
Hey.
Um, how's she doing? She's okay.
Listen, um, I just wanted to talk to you because I heard that you aren't speaking to her, which sounds to me like the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
She's obviously doing this thing with her parents because of you.
She's doing it so that your feelings don't get hurt, so it's just a little confusing to me that you're not talking to her when she's just trying to help you.
She needs you, you know what I mean? So, just kind of sucks.
And if you blow this, you're the stupidest person ever, 'cause she's the most incredible person that exists.
Aren't you the thoughtful cousin.
I have my moments.
Yeah, but it's a little more complicated than that.
It's a lot I need to think about.
That's annoying.
She'll be at this phone number for the next 45 minutes, and then you're on your own.
Bye.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Sycamore Charter is proud to present The History California.
# Here we are # You and me # California, heavenly # Young and strong # Fancy free # Man, how lucky can we be # We've got the mountains We've got the sea # Got avocados on a tree # Days and days of sunshine and the ocean breeze # Now we've got some golden opportunities # Viva Mexico!

Hey, man, give peace a chance.
Power to the people.
I'm the Governator of California.
I like you, kid.
You oughta be in pictures.
That's what I was thinking.
What did you say your name is again? My friends call me Norma Jeane.
But my fans know me as Marilyn.
Marilyn Monroe.
I cannot believe I'm letting her play a sex symbol.
This is Oh, come on, it's just a play.
She's cute.
Dude, can't you ever relax? No.
Dude.
You don't say.
I do say.
That's right.
The first studios were built in 1903.
And that settles it, kid.
You got the part.
So, it's true then? Hey, are you ready? I'm scared.
There's lots of people out there.
Don't worry about all those people.
Listen, just go out there and do your thing and say your line.
You're gonna be so good.
I promise.
Crosby! Yeah? Back to the piano! Yeah, okay, I'm going.
Okay, you're going to be great, all right? # Look around and you can see # All the different faces # Some of us are doing great # Others trail behind # Now that we have struck it rich # We should keep in mind Again.
Again.
# Now that we have struck it rich # We should keep in mind Let's spread the gold around! # We're in this together # Yes, we are a team # Mother Nature blessed us # With treasure in the ground # If we see eye to eye # Let's agree to split the pie # And we'll spread that treasure # That golden, golden treasure # We'll spread that treasure around # Together! - Hello? - Haddie? Yeah.
Your cousin is pretty bold.
I mean, yeah, you have no idea.
All right, look, I'm just going to say this.
After everything went down with you I had to call my sponsor.
Are you okay? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
I mean, he told me in the beginning I shouldn't have a relationship for the first year, and now I know why.
I feel terrible.
No, I don't want you to feel bad.
I care about you a whole lot.
But if things are gonna work out between us, you gotta make things right with your folks.
Their minds are made up.
I don't know.
This is really just unfair.
It is unfair.
It is what it is, though.
I'll miss you.
Bye.
# We got the mountains We got the sea We got avocados # Thanks, Crosby.
You're a good director.
Thanks, Jensen.
Great job.
Thanks again.
Well, I am the toast of the town.
Mmm-hmm.
I'm so popular.
Mmm-hmm.
So, he was pretty unbelievable, right? Yeah, he was amazing.
And? And I'm really proud of both of you.
You know, you won't spontaneously combust if you were to say Crosby was right.
It won't kill you.
I don't know what you mean, "right.
" I don't know about that.
Have you looked at him? He's like a whole new guy.
# We got the sea # See how confident he is? Okay, you're right, because our brave and talented son stepped up to the plate.
You got lucky.
I got lucky.
You got lucky.
You know, I'm going to enter you in the "Miss Stubborn American Pageant.
" And I think you're going to win first place.
Hey, Max, will you give this to Amber? Yeah.
I made a phone call.
So, if you want to ground me again or take something away, go for it.
Okay? Yeah.
I'm going to walk home.
Haddie.
You're going to walk home? Yeah.
It's dark.
That's not safe.
It's ridiculous.
I don't want to be in the car with you guys right now.
Okay? Haddie! Honey, it's fine.
She can walk.
Come on, guys, let's go! Do you think we should call a cab to take us to the car? Yeah, right.
Feeling a little fatigued.
I didn't want to park in that parking lot 'cause it takes too long to get the car out.
It's right over here.
I mean, do you think you can make it, for Pete's sake? I don't know.
I'll try.
See, it's right there.
I think I can make it out.
We can get oxygen on the way, if you like.
So, Drew, what'd you think of your cousins? Pretty cute, huh? It was cute.
It wasn't as bad as I had expected.
What an amazing review, Al Roker, through the roof.
What? Why are you calling him Al Roker? Al Roker doesn't review movies.
Thumbs up.
No, Mom, not, "Thumbs up.
" Yes, he does.
He's a weather man.
I know.
Dad, can you open up the back, Dad? I think that show could play on Broadway.
What? Dad, I just want to put these in there.
Very heavy funnel cakes.
Dad? Where is the peanut butter? Stop it.
Stop what? This is over.
Okay? All of it is over.
- What is over? I don't want - The slamming cabinets, the moping, the being rude, all of it's over.
Okay? Just stop.
Okay, so then when can I see Alex? Never.
We talked about this.
As long as you live in our house, you're going to abide by our rules, okay, and stick to our rules.
That's it.
Enough is enough.
Enough is enough.
You're right.
Really? What does that mean? Where are you going? Hey.
Hey.
What's wrong? Are you okay? You look upset.
I was wondering if I could stay here for awhile.
Hi, sweetie.
What's going on? I Can I stay here? For awhile? Well, how long awhile? I mean, I don't know.
College.
