Parenthood s02e21 Episode Script

I'm thinking about buying a house in hopes that Jasmine will want to come live in it with me.
This place isn't a dump.
I think we can fix it.
I spoke to the Dean of Admissions today.
You didn't get in.
I did the best I could to do what you want me to do, but it's not working for me.
I'm going to start making my own decisions, whether you like them or not.
Haddie, I would be honored to be your prom date.
Are you and Alex talking about sex? When the time is right, we're going to know.
Oh, yes! Janet, angel.
This thing is exactly Amber, darling it's tee time.
Oh, lovely.
I'll have an Earl Grey.
No, no, not that tea time, silly.
Like golf tee time.
But look.
Oh, thank God she found something.
I know.
I'm starving, yeah.
These are delicious.
They're so good.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm.
I'll take that too.
Thank you.
Mmm.
Oh, they're so good.
Now, come here.
Not quite sure how this is done, but we're going to take a stab at it anyway.
Come on.
Okay, I'll try but no promises.
Don't be mad at me if I'm not good.
Don't try, do.
Come on.
Okay, Yoda.
All right, take it.
You give me that, yeah.
And then just, you know, get into a nice, you know, bent over position.
Okay.
And you get your stick, is that what it is? I don't Okay, whatever.
Okay, now you just want to, you know, just use your body to just will the ball in.
Will the ball in, okay.
Like a tennis game.
Okay, ready? Yeah.
Okay, here it goes.
Oh.
Ah! So close! Ah! You went over the.
All right, give me another shot.
Retrieve it for me, valet.
Okay we're gonna Okay I'm going.
I'm going.
I got the eggs.
I got Max's snacks, but did you get the waffles? What? I thought you were going to get the waffles.
I told you to get them, little cinnamon waffles for Haddie.
Honey, how could you forget the waffles? They're Haddie's favorite.
I know they're her favorite, you're such a jokester.
I put them in the basket.
Thank you.
Phone.
Yeah.
Right there.
Answer it.
Answer the phone! I know how to answer the phone.
Hello? You do? Hello? What is this? Hello? Who's number is that? I don't know.
Hold on.
That's Haddie.
It's Haddie.
Honey, I think she's playing a joke on us.
No, no, honey.
Haddie, honey! Oh, God.
It sounds like she's hurt.
That's not what that sounds like.
What does it sound like to you? That sounds like it's No, it doesn't.
I can't keep listening to this, honey.
I can't! She's not doing anything.
Yes, she is.
She's clearly doing something! She's not! So, relax.
Yes, she is! I'm hanging up.
I'm hanging up, honey! Do not hang up.
No, don't hang up Oh, my God.
Look, honey, there is a chance that what we think we heard wasn't anything.
It was something, though.
I'm not saying it wasn't something.
It was definitely something.
Yes, well, there's a very good chance it wasn't the thing.
That it wasn't it.
Yeah, I mean, maybe it was something close to the thing.
It sounded advanced.
Maybe she was exercising.
Honey, I heard Stretching.
I heard it.
No, that wasn't what it was.
Honey, I have no idea.
Maybe it wasn't even her.
You know there is a chance that she could have had to loan her phone to somebody for some crazy reason.
One of her friends.
Yeah.
Maybe that Kaitlin.
I mean have you seen the way that she dresses? No.
What? What, are you looking at how she's dressed? No, honey.
What? That's weird.
Why are you looking at I'm not.
- Hi.
Mommy.
- Pappy.
KRISTINA: Hey.
Hi.
I'm just kidding.
No laughs.
Not funny.
Hi.
Hi.
We just came home from getting groceries.
Where have you been, book store? Um, yeah.
Wow.
Good detective work.
Yeah? Oh, I got Mom, um, I got you this.
This mustang book by Sharon Biederman that you wanted.
Oh, hey, hey, hey, that's great I didn't read about it but What else did you do? Um, I went and I got coffee.
Uh-huh.
Where'd you go get coffee? And looked at the beautiful sun.
At the bookstore.
Oh, right, right, right, right, right.
You know it? Yeah.
Sure.
Of course you know.
Yeah.
Mmm-hmm.
Okay.
Okay.
You guys were obviously in the middle of something, so I'm going to go do homework.
- No, we're good.
- I love you.
We're just chatting.
Love you too.
Hey Joel, can we tackle this terrible light fixture next because it looks like a crack house and she's going to hate this.
Can we just look at the door and marvel at it for a second? And just admire the thing we spent four hours putting.
It's It's gorgeous.
It is, isn't it? I appreciate it.
Thank you.
But I'm feeling like we should hit this and then I would love to get rid of this crappy, fake wood.
Uh, the wainscoting? Wainscoting? Yep.
Yeah, well, can we rip it out because she's not going to like it.
Uh, we can.
It's physically possible, yes.
But, I mean, you sure you want to? It's got a lot of other.
Hey! Other than it's a dump.
Morning troops.
Hey Jules.
I brought reinforcements.
Oh, hell yes! Have you eaten anything? No.
This is important.
Yes, we can do it.
It's just What's our timeframe here? What are we looking at? Before what? Before you show it to her.
I mean, that is the ultimate goal here, right? Yeah, I'm going to show it to her but, you know, I can't bring her in here and say, "Welcome to your new dump.
"Sorry it looks like a Howard Johnsons from the 70's.
" Okay? I want her to be excited and moved, you know, so I think that involves ripping out the wainscoting? It's just, um, we've run into a bit of a money problem.
Okay.
Um, I'll sell my motorcycle.
And we won't have a money problem.
Thank you for bringing that by.
I'm going to unload the sod, okay? You got it.
Are you preparing the Titanic for its maiden voyage? Yeah.
I'm in the crew.
You know how that story ends.
I'm going to go pick up sod and do something with it.
Doesn't the door look good, though? The door looks fantastic.
You didn't have to say that.
I mean Right.
Did you do that? Thank you.
- Come on, Joel.
- Yeah, I'm coming.
Wait a minute.
Wait, wait, wait.
No, no, no.
That's not what I'm saying.
You're going too fast.
You're going too fast.
So what you're saying is that everyone you meet from the time you get up to the time you get there are your old boyfriends? And they're all saying the same thing? You think that it's the boyfriends of the past, but in fact, it's the same guy who just keeps echoing Great.
Great.
Great.
We're in this.
We're in this.
Great.
All right.
I'll take that.
And this is where your breasts can be of some use to us.
What did you? What? Tomorrow night, we're going to that fundraising party.
We are? Yes, we are.
And Jack Kraft, the Artistic Director of the Berkeley Theater is going to be there.
Heard of him.
He's read your play.
He likes it.
Wait a minute, you didn't tell me that.
He read it? He trained under me, I gave him his first job, he owes his whole career to me.
Good.
That's amazing.
And there is only one slot left Oh God! In the New Voices series and we want that slot.
Yes, we want that slot.
Yes, we do.
Now theater is half art and half relationships.
Oh, God, that's where the So tomorrow night is when you start using your relationships.
Okay, yeah, I'll put them to work.
That's exactly right.
All right, I think we're almost there.
I like the changes you guys have made.
I like them a lot.
I like those background images and I think it really pops.
- Thank you.
- You bet.
Yeah, I think it looks great, really simplified.
Yeah.
I think the only thing I'd say is maybe the lettering.
- Copy, make a little bolder somehow.
- Yeah, yeah.
So it kind of leaps off the page.
Okay.
Uh.
Hey.
Hey.
Did you want to take it.
Nope.
You sure? Yep.
It'll be ready to see in 24 hours.
It's okay.
We're just going to make a couple more tweaks, basically with the copy.
Uh, you know maybe if we did some sort of 3D.
Absolutely, yeah.
Just to make it a little more hip.
Boom.
Yeah.
It just It looks like a picture.
Well, it's a photograph.
Yes.
Yes.
But it looks like an ad.
Well it is, Cory.
It's an ad.
Yes.
Hold that thought.
Wait, wait, wait.
Oh.
Okay, it's an ad.
Yeah.
What if it was an ad that looked like art? Hmm.
Hmm.
Okay, I've got I've got this friend.
He does these drawings.
You remember Spyder, right? I do remember Spyder.
Spyder.
We get Spyder in here to do these amazing drawings of the shoe, just the shoe.
But nothing else? Nothing else.
No copy? No copy.
You know.
All copy.
Just words.
So no shoe? No.
Shoe with words.
The shoe is words.
Oh, I see, so the image of the shoe is made of the copy, the words? Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
I think that's an interesting idea.
I'm texting Spyder right now.
You don't have to do that.
These guys are totally capable of running with that idea.
Oh, absolutely.
What do you think? I think it could be amazing.
Right? I mean that streak.
What's your name? I'm Karen.
Karen.
This is Kim.
Kim.
Karen.
Cory.
Cool.
Braverman.
That's my name.
Yeah.
Okay, well, uh.
We have the statement from the Munson Corporation, but we're still waiting on the discovery from Erik Gainer, so I expect that by this afternoon.
Do you mind if I catch up with you? Hey.
Oh, my God, you wreak.
So cute.
Ooh! Amber.
Cool.
Where did you get these? I know you're very upset about not getting into college, but this is not how you deal with things.
Mmm.
Aromatherapy.
You are humiliating.
I can explain and I understand what you're saying and you're so nice and I appreciate everything, but like, I'm not going to be a lawyer.
Clearly.
And now, I don't need money because I'm not going to go college, do you know what I mean? I don't want to be in here if I don't have to and I don't have to, so I quit.
Sorry, but I quit.
Amber.
Amber.
I just can't take myself so seriously, you know? Amber.
This is ridiculous.
Look at this.
What? I want this.
I don't want this.
Look, there's not even sunlight in here.
I mean this is like a nightmare, right guys? I don't want this.
Do you guys want this? This isn't even real.
This is terrible.
I'm sorry.
Please don't be mad.
Amber.
I'll see you soon.
Okay? Hey, honey.
Hey.
Doing homework? Kind of.
Listening to music.
That's cool.
Yeah.
I just I wanted to talk to you about something.
Okay.
Okay.
Um, it's actually, this might make you a little bit uncomfortable, but I just need to ask you a question.
Okay.
Are you and Alex having sex? No.
Haddie.
No.
No.
Okay.
Okay.
There's no sort of intercourse or sex I said no three times.
Okay, because if you were, I'd want you to know that you could talk to me about it.
Okay.
I hear you.
Because I'm here for you.
So the answer's no, you're not.
Right.
I mean, what, you were my age or something when you first had sex? Is that what's going on? I was not.
I was 22.
I was 22 at college.
Wow.
It's a big step.
I just decided that I wanted to wait.
So Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Continue, I'll just, um However, Haddie, if you are wanting to talk about it, I want to talk to you, okay? Okay.
Okay.
I just can't do this right now.
No, you haven't heard it all before, apparently.
Or none of it sunk in.
Are you gonna go up and just hide in your room I don't think so.
And not talk? I'm just exhausted.
Please, please, I can't do this with you right now.
Just don't hide yourself in your room.
I just need a little bit of alone time.
Then we don't have to have this conversation.
You're not going to follow me in here? You're not going to get it.
It's kind of a private matter.
But I guess I'll wait.
Yeah, I'm going to follow you.
That's the kind of super mom I am.
I'm just wondering who you want to be.
God.
Do you want to be the person who gets high and yells at your aunt? I don't know who I want to be yet.
I need to figure it out, okay? I'm just trying to figure it out.
I feel really bad about what happened at the office, okay? Good.
And I was not trying to be mean to her.
I just was trying to, say what I felt in the moment and it You can't say what you feel in the moment.
That's what a child does and you've been telling me you want to be treated like an adult so you have to act like one.
I get it.
You have to figure out what you're going to do.
I know it was a setback not to get into school, but we just have to think about what's the next year going to be.
I think we should And don't say no to me.
We need to have pasta.
Pasta? We need to go to the Farfallala or whatever it's called.
At this point it's worth a try.
I mean, what options do we have really? Not many.
We'll eat the pasta.
We'll figure it out.
Look what the home improvement stork delivered us.
Uh-oh.
What you got? How about some kitchen tiles? Look at these bad Larrys.
Oh, wow.
Ta-da.
Um, they're the wrong color.
Light blue.
These are aqua blue.
They're light blue, man.
There wasn't an aqua blue option.
Well they're aqua blue.
Well, this is what you would see in the Little Mermaid's kitchen.
Okay, well We gotta order new ones.
We're not ordering new ones.
That's going to take one week, maybe two weeks.
All right, so it takes a week.
We're using these tiles.
Listen, Joel, it's got to be perfect, man.
You can't put those in there.
It's a house, Crosby.
It's going to do whatever it's going to do and kitchen tiles aren't going to be the deal breaker here.
You You have got to show her this place.
Do you understand? I know it's going to be hard, but you just You got to find out.
Hey.
Hey, how are you? Um, I am.
You okay? Yeah, I'm just going to say it, uh.
Say what? Alex and I have had sex.
Uh Okay.
I just don't, uh, have any idea what to say right now.
I guess I shouldn't have told you.
No, no, no, you should have.
I mean, actually, we had a feeling that, you know, maybe you would've Who's we? Dad and I.
We had a feeling that, you know, honey, he's your dad.
It is what it is, you know.
It is what it is.
So, it's okay.
Is, um Is he pressuring you to do this, honey? No.
No.
Because if he is, I swear Are you being careful? Are you using a condom? Yup.
Or some sort of protection? Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
How did you guys know? Um, we just had a feeling.
Parents' intuition.
Okay, well, that's it.
Do you see him? Okay, that's Jack Kraft.
- That is? He's cute.
- Yeah.
That's what he thinks.
Well, he waved.
I don't think he saw you.
Yes, he did.
I'll be right back.
Dad.

Blount.
Could you come over and say hi? Well, you know what? I'm actually, kind of, I'm working.
You know what, that wasn't really a request.
I mean, didn't he give you your first break in show business? All right, come on.
What the heck, huh? Sure.

She's written quite a unique play.
A combination of Miller and Wasserstein.
Wow.
It's funny and I can never live up to that.
That's a ringing endorsement from Gilliam Blount who is a legend.
If we all had one tenth of the career you had, Gilliam, then I think we'd all be very lucky.
So good luck.

I really can't make those promises here.
Very nice to meet you.

Good luck, guys.
Jack.
Jack, don't.
Don't blow her off because of me.
Gilliam, you're forgetting that you told Sam Shepard that I was incompetent.
You did? I told him that you weren't right for that particular play.
You said incompetent.
That's what you did.
Yes.
Yes, I did.
And that's what you were and now you're not.
- There's hope for us all then I guess.
- Wow.
I mean.
Really good meeting you.
Good luck.

But I hope that you'll be able to read my play unbiased.
Uh-huh.
You okay? Yeah, I'm okay.
I'm nervous.
Okay.
Well, I've got an army of readers and they look at all the submissions and the best ones end up on my desk and I read those unbiased.

So where might I have seen your work before? It's funny because? Nowhere.
You've never had a play produced? Better.
I've never written a play before.
Uh, you've been on the earth a long time without having ever written a play.
No offense.
Well, listen, uh, yes, no, you're right.
But, you know, Margaret Edson wrote Wit when she was 35.
That's true.
And she was a kindergarten teacher and it won the Pulitzer Prize in 1999 so I think you should You're aware of Wit.

Cool.

Yeah? Have you spoken to Crosby at all lately? Um I saw him when he dropped Jabbar off a few days ago.
Okay, I'm sorry to I don't want to overstep my bounds here, but, um It's okay.
He's just really different.
I've never seen him like this.
He's really He's grown up all of a sudden, so I thought that was worth mentioning.
I'm glad for him.
But it's too bad he didn't grow up a few weeks earlier.
Yeah.
Well, he really loves you.
I love him too.
But I'm so angry at him.
I don't think I'll ever not be angry at him.
It's not going to happen, Julia.
I'm sorry.
I'll see you after dinner.
Yeah.
Bye.
Good chicken, huh? Um, I scored three goals at soccer today.
That's great.
Isn't that great? Yeah.
That's cool, but did you win? Yeah, we won.
That's good.
It sounds like soccer's going really well.
Yeah.
Pretty good.
Good.
Hey, did you know that on average 3,400,065 chickens are slaughtered daily just to meet the demands of the world.
Max, don't talk about that when you're eating chicken.
It's not going to bring the chicken back to life.
Where'd you read that? The Annual Farming Report.
Hmm, interesting.
And, also, it says that chickens with red earlobes lay brown eggs and chickens with white earlobes lay white eggs.
A lot of good facts.
So, Haddie scored three times today.
I can't believe, I mean, I've never even scored once and Haddie scored three times in one day.
That's amazing.
It's a little weird we're doing this in here.
My family's watching or something.
That's kind of hot, actually.
Oh, my God, wait.
What time is it? What? I don't know.
What? I have to go.
Oh, my God.
You have to go? Why? I'm late.
I have a stupid dinner thingy that I promised my mom I would go and All right, that's fine.
Okay, sorry, sorry.
No, no, it's cool.
Wait.
I will call you and I'll come over later.
Okay.
But, um, I think that, um You drove me.
I need you to drive.
I should drive.
Yeah, yeah, I drove.
Let's go.
Come on.
Come on.
What? I know.
I'm sorry.
It's a crazy story.
It's kind of a funny story.
You don't write, you don't call, you don't send flowers.
I'm very sorry.
Listen, listen.
My friend, Gary, took me to the wrong place.
Who's Gary? Just my friend.
So we were like Do you have a new special friend? No.
Just a friend.
Listen.
- Okay.
- And he thought he knew where it was and he thought it was this place across the street and we went in there and there was like a Quinceanera or something.
A what? What's that? And it was, like, people with peasant dresses and it's like a birthday party and everyone's singing in Spanish.
Oh, no.
And there's a cake and it had a picture of this girl It was so weird.
But, anyway, I thought you were going to be in there and you weren't in there.
It was so weird.
You would have loved it.
I wish you could have seen it.
Oh, my God.
It was Whoo! What kind of high are you? Here we go.
I don't think it's just pot, is it? It's really not that big of a deal, okay? You're in trouble.
Okay, I'm in big trouble.
We're going to buzzkill town.
We're leaving.
I'm not going.
I'm eating.
Hey, you're coming with me right now.
You've got two minutes to come to the car.
That's not even enough time for oysters.
Come on.
Hey, Dad.
Hey.
The showerhead is leaking again.
Thanks for telling me.
I'll take care of it.
Okay, good morning.
Yep.
Good morning.
- Haddie? - Yeah.
Can I come in, honey? Sure.
Hi.
Hi.
Listen, I'm sorry about everything with dad.
I know things are tense and awkward.
It's fine I just wish that I hadn't told you.
Honey, I'm so glad that you told me.
Are you kidding me? Well, I wish I didn't.
I wish I didn't and I don't understand why, like, every interaction that I have with Dad is like him just judging me.
He's not judging you at all.
He won't even look at me.
Yeah, well, it feels like that He's not.
And it just makes me feel sad.
Honey, nobody's judging you.
I mean, you're our baby, you know? We wish that you would have waited.
That's all.
But I promise you he'll come around.
I promise.
Come here.
Give me a hug.
I love you.
I love you too.
I lied.
About what? I wasn't 22.
I was I was 15.
Oh! It was awful.
It was with this boy named Roy.
Anyway, I thought I was in love with him and he went to school the next day and told everybody that we did it.
And it was just awful.
Oh, God.
I know.
I'm just happy that it was different for you.
Well, what did you guys talk about? You didn't tell her about the house, did you? No.
I didn't tell her about the house.
We weren't talking about that at all.
I wouldn't do that to you.
Well, then why are you looking at me like my dog was run over? Well, you know, she's not exactly on the same page as you.
I think you should start to consider what Yeah, well, listen, you know, a relationship's between two people, so I don't know if you should be getting involved.
Crosby, I have a relationship.
I know, I mean, I'm not a complete idiot on this subject.
Yeah, I know you have a relationship, but, you know, it might just be that I know more about Jasmine than you.
Crosby, she doesn't want to be with you.
She said it's not going to happen.
Yeah, no kidding, Julia.
What do you think I'm doing here? I sold my houseboat and my motorcycle and bought this piece of crap house.
There's no options left.
This is the Hail Mary pass.
There's no time left.
But you know what? Sometimes Hail Mary passes work.
And they're amazing when they do.
Everyone cheers and people win.
Look, it's a long shot, I recognize that, but it might just work.
And I have to believe it might work so please just let me believe that.
Hi.
Hey.
What? You need to talk to her.
She thinks that you're completely angry with her.
I did talk to her.
Okay, she's humiliated.
Humiliated? Why? You're not talking to her, Adam.
I am talking to her.
You haven't said two words to the girl the whole week.
It's just like, I'm having to defend you.
I don't know what to say to her, Kristina, okay? You knew that this day would come.
You said it was okay for them to date.
I didn't think it was going to come this fast.
Adam.
What am I supposed to do? Give her a high five and congratulate her for having sex? That's not what I'm saying.
You're shutting her out completely.
I don't know what to say to her, Kristina.
I'm sorry.
Thanks, Adam.
What else has she told you? I don't know.
I Do you really not know? No.
When you say drugs, do you mean just pot? I don't know.
I don't know.
She hasn't talked to me about that.
What has she told you? All I know is it's some guy at Julia's office.
Who is Gary? Who is that? No way.
Oh, my God, that's him.
Is that him? Hello? Yeah.
No, this is her brother.
Um, no, I don't think she needs a ride, actually.
No, she doesn't.
Yeah.
All right, man.
Later.
What the hell are you doing? That's my phone! I'm not going to let you go out with some guy and do drugs! That's my phone! I told you that in privacy! Don't you guys fight! It's your fault! You're the one who's causing all of this! Okay! What is this? This is everything.
We're worried about you.
Are you going through my stuff? - No.
- What's wrong with you? This is my stuff.
It doesn't What's in here? Now I have to question everything.
It's mints, you idiot! Don't call me an idiot! You're not going anywhere! Give me that! Give me my mints! Where do you think you're going! Come back here! Come back here! You're going to school! I'm going out! Great.
So that's your plan? You're not going to finish high school, you're not going to go to college.
That's my big plan, okay? Oh, this must be Gary.
I'm not letting you leave with this loser! Stop! Stop! Don't put your Get back here! Leave me alone! Stop! What the hell's wrong with you? What are you guys doing? Don't attack me, you crazy bitch! Amber, what are you Mom, are you okay? - You just attacked me.
- Go! Go! Are you all right? I just don't know what else to do.
I've called 15 times now.
And I just want to hear that you're okay.
That's all.
I just want to hear that you're okay.
I love you.
Hi.
This is really not a good time.
More important.
You know how people put off what's right in front of them because they're so terrified they think they're going to die? I do.
Yes.
The new title of the play, A Story For Another Day.
I like it.
That's great.
Let me call you later.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Well, one more little thing.
They want us.
We're in.
Who? Mr.
Kraft.
The Artistic Director.
Hello.
He liked it.
We're in the reading series.
He liked it? Yeah.
He liked it.
Okay, okay.
Um At some future date, you're going to want to give me a present.
Don't think about flowers.
Okay.
Think about single malt whiskey.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It was terrible.
It was brutal.
Mmm-hmm.
And she just took off with the guy? Yeah.
I've seen that before.
Have you called her? No.
Adam, this is not the same thing.
This is something else.
I mean, honestly, there's a part of me that wonders if she'll come back.
Look, Sarah, they're teenagers, this is what they do.
They push against us, they rebel, you know? When I think about the crap that Haddie's pulled this year.
No offense, Adam, but that stuff is so much more normal.
I mean, you know she's dating a guy.
Oh, you know, so.
Well, actually, Haddie and Alex are doing a lot more than dating now.
Oh, really? Yeah.
Oh, well.
She's 16 years old, she's having sex and there's nothing I can do about it.
You know I want to be able to say something to her about it and I don't know what to say.
Is she happy? Come on, Sarah, please don't ask me that.
Yeah, she's happy.
She's real satisfied.
That's not what I mean.
I just mean at least they love each other and she's being honest with you.
It's a lot better than the way Amber started.
Nice, thanks for the plate.
You know, it was so nice when she was a little kid and I could just sit with her and have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and make faces at her and make her laugh.
Nice and simple.
I know it doesn't help now, but I realize I had made a mistake.
I don't think so.
I let her tell me when she was ready to grow up and I should have fought her more.
Look, I've been dealing with this stuff with Haddie, every time I get into a conflict with her, engage, leads nowhere.
It seems like the best thing I can do is just to give her space.
No.
You don't give them space.
Just when they tell you they don't need you anymore is exactly when they need you the most.
You have to fight it.
You have to show up.
It's when they're pushing you away, it's when they're telling you they know better, that's when you have to show up.
Now, I'm afraid it's too late.
My Dad's here.
I guess he's here to pick me up.
I'll see you guys.
What are you doing? Hey.
I just took off work early.
I wanted to pick you up.
What happened to your elbow there? Oh, yeah.
You're bleeding, kiddo.
Let me get the first aid kit.
Dad.
Yeah? You don't have to.
It's a tiny thing.
Well, I got it right here! No, no, no.
We'll just clean it up at home.
It's just like dried goopy blood.
Yeah, we don't want that to get infected, all right? It doesn't seem like it would, but, yeah.
Hold that for me.
I'll take care of that.
This is unnecessary.
Honestly, it's like a teeny guy right there.
No, no, you don't want that flesh-eating bacteria to get in there.
Okay.
All right? Just, uh Just don't ever want you to get hurt, Haddie.
That's all.
Okay.
All right? Yeah.
You want to get an ice cream or something? Yeah! Yeah? Let's do it.
Let's go to the movies.
Can we? What? Yeah.
I got time for that.
I would love that.
And she makes me feel like my whole life is over because, you know, I'm not going to college.
There's other options, you know? I don't just have to go to college.
Well, not everyone goes to college.
It's not for everybody.
No, I mean, like, I could play music or traveling.
Yeah, traveling.
I wish I had traveled, I haven't even left the country before.
Me either.
I want to go.
Well, you know what? We should just go.
Go to Europe.
I mean, it's not a bad idea.
Mmm.
Go to Spain, you know? Spain? Yeah.
You could be, like, a, you know, a flamenco dancer with a flower in your hair.
Yes, I could.
I can be a matador, you know what I mean? Why not? That does sound kind of funny.
