Parenthood s03e04 Episode Script

So, um, this girl Amy, you kinda like her? Yeah, I guess so.
We should go into business together, you and me.
And I don't want to do it without you.
Haddie, you live in a completely different world than I do.
- You get that? - Yeah.
- It's my dad.
Hide, hide, hide! - What do I do, what do I do? Oh, there's something you don't see every day.
Max's dad and I took a huge, huge leap of faith by sending him to this school and mainstreaming him.
Right.
I'm worried about him socially, and I--and I-- You're just gonna have to get a little more comfortable with having less control.
I packed you a lunch.
Now, I don't want you trading it for a hot lunch, okay? There's poison in there.
You'll wind up with type 7 diabetes.
Okay.
Hey, look.
It's Max.
Max.
- Hey, Max.
- Let's go, Jabbar.
- Yeah, let's go.
Come on.
- Have a good day, guys.
- Bye, Max.
- Bye, Max.
- See you later.
- Look at that.
This is good.
Things are working out just fine.
Oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh You're worried about a storm? Nope.
Looks like clear skies from here on out.
- Morning.
- Good.
You know, it's a good day to be on the water.
What? You know, I've got a lot of life left in me.
And with Virilia's help, by golly, I'm gonna live it.
- What is going on? - I got an audition.
- Really? - Yeah.
For wha--how? Well, it turns out that, you know, the gal that cast your play at the Berkeley Theatre Company-- Yeah.
Well, she also casts local commercials.
She called me and I got an audition.
- Dad, you have a real audition? - Yes, I do.
- Wow! - Uh-huh.
Very nice.
What's it for? It's a commercial.
No, I know, but what's it for? Um, it's, um, erectile dysfunction medicine.
Okay.
Hey, you know what? I'm in the middle of rehearsing now.
Wow.
Yeah, um, you guys keep working.
I think you're really on to something here.
Well, you kind of interrupted.
- Sorry.
- Okay.
- Good luck, Dad.
- Thanks.
Can we just run it again? So I had all four wisdom teeth pulled in the same day.
Now I'm scared.
Do I look okay? Honey, you look cute.
Why? Are you seeing Amy? It's-- Is that why you're worried about your face? You look really good.
I'm not talking about this right here.
What? You don't want to chat with me right now? I love you.
Have a good day.
Hey, you, uh, you can't make a u-turn here.
- Hi.
- How are you? Good.
I was in the neighborhood and I just thought I'd drop by.
Well, I'm glad you did.
How'd your writing go last night? Did you get through the third act? I didn't, but I did fix the one problem-- You look really pretty.
I was listening, but I also wanted to tell you that, and you smell really good.
I don't believe you can smell me from there.
I'm pretty sure it's you.
There are a lot of smells going around, but I'm pretty sure it's you.
What, um, what are you doing tomorrow? - Yes.
- Yes? Oh, good.
- Should I pick you up around 7--? - Sure.
Okay.
Okay.
What--what-- what's the big deal? It's one dinner, all right? It's not even a special occasion.
Okay, not saying it's a big deal.
You're talking like this, making it into one.
I just feel like you're avoiding my family.
I'm not avoiding your family.
I just--I sometimes feel isolated at those dinners, okay? Everybody's looking at me different now.
- It's just--it's--it's weird.
- No way.
Alex, no one is looking at you differently.
Nobody cares.
Nobody's thinking about your record.
I'm thinking about my record.
That's the thing.
It's in my head.
It bothers me.
I'm uncomfortable.
Don't you get that? - It's just awful for me.
- Okay? Can you just tell your grandparents I said thank you for the invitation and I'll see 'em around? - Okay.
- All right.
I'll call you later.
- Hey.
- Oh, hey, Mrs.
Braverman.
Where are you going? You're not coming to dinner? I can't.
I got some things I need to do.
Oh.
Okay.
- All right.
- See ya.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Hey, Haddie.
May God bless and keep you always and may your wishes all come true may you always do for others and let others do for you may you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung and may you stay forever young may you grow up to be righteous may you grow up to be true may you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you may you always be courageous stand upright and be strong and may you stay forever young may you stay forever young Um 11 times 8.
- 9 times 9.
- 81.
You can go all the way up to the 12s.
I'm the best in my class.
- 12 times 11.
- 132.
- Can we take a break now? - Why? It's so much fun.
Hi, Jabbar, you want to eat lunch with me and Nicky? Yeah, sure, totally.
No.
We're already eating lunch.
You guys can move and come over to our table.
Then we could eat lunch together.
- Let's go.
- No.
No.
We're cousins and best friends.
We eat here together every day.
And we're already doing something.
So keep quizzing me.
- Sorry, Jensen.
- Okay, keep going.
Hey, Patrick, you want to eat lunch with me and Nicky? - Jabbar, keep quizzing me.
- Why? No.
So I have a weird, weird question.
- Okay.
- Um Hey, what--what are you-- what are you doing tomorrow night? - Why? - Um 'Cause that was kind of a trick question.
Well, could you give me a ride somewhere? Okay, somewhere.
Hmm.
Where, uh, where do you need a ride? To the movies or something.
- To the movies? - Yeah.
Okay.
Still, I'm feeling suspicious.
- Why can't you just take the bus? - All right.
Um, I may have asked someone to go to the movies with me, and, you know, I can't take a bus.
Ha ha ha, okay.
It's all coming together.
- Mm-hmm.
- How exciting! Yeah, yeah.
Hmm, should I wear a little hat? - A little chauffeur jacket? - No, no.
- Okay.
- No.
Okay.
Well, I must say I'm intrigued.
- So I will accept.
- Yeah? Absolutely.
But I'm gonna have to ask you a few questions first.
For example, who is this mysterious someone? - It was Amy.
- Amy, okay.
Now, where did you meet this, uh, Amy? - At a very charming yard sale.
- Okay.
You know what? Let's just get you groomed up, get rid of these flyaways for you.
It looks good.
You look great.
- She's gonna love you.
- Thanks.
Mom, could I ask you a question? Sure.
What's up? Could I eat lunch with Jensen tomorrow? Of course you could eat lunch with Jensen tomorrow.
Why do you ask? Because--because Max said no.
- Max said no? - Yeah.
Well, why would Max say no? I don't know.
I really want to eat lunch with Jensen.
He's my friend.
Well, you could eat lunch with Jensen.
Just tell Max that you want to have lunch with your other friends, and he'll understand, honey, if that's what you want to do.
I told him that, but he said no.
Baby, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do.
- Okay? - All right.
Now finish up with that game.
Okay.
Yeah.
- Door's open.
- Hello.
- Come on in.
- Hi.
I made your favorite.
Risotto.
- Daddy.
- There he is.
- Don't tell me you can't stay.
- No, I can't.
I'm teaching class tonight.
Oh, I'm disappointed.
Well, I made mac and cheese for Jabbar.
Thank you.
Hey, um, can we talk later on tonight, please? Ooh.
"Can we talk?" That's not good.
No, no, no, it's just-- it's not dire.
I just--I'll call you after I get home.
Okay? Okay.
I'll answer.
- All right, good.
- Bye! Bye, mom.
Excuse me.
Everybody, I have an announcement I'd like to make.
An announcement.
Well, thanks to your sister Sarah's wonderful play and her wisdom in casting me, I have booked a commercial.
Do you have actual speaking lines? Yes, I do.
So what are you, the star of the commercial? As a matter of fact, I am the star of the commercial.
- First audition.
- Okay, I'm very sorry.
Is this a campaign for adult diapers? - No, it's not.
- Metamucil.
- No.
- Prune juice.
It is, uh For an erectile dysfunction medication.
Oh, wow! Congratulations, pop.
Grandpa, what's "ereptile" dysfunction? Uh, I'll explain it later to you.
What is "ereptile" dysfunction, Dad? Wait a minute, Dad.
Are you gonna be the guy walking on the beach while they list all the side effects? "If you experience uncontrollable diarrhea, "memory loss, or sudden dizziness, please call your doctor.
" Side effects include erectile dysfunction.
Max, get up.
Put the video game away.
We've got to go, okay? All right.
Hey, listen, Drew, sorry we gave you a hard time but have a fun time on your date, okay? I love you, Mom.
Wait, Max told him he had to do what? He said that Max said they always had to eat lunch together, and, I mean, Crosby, we can't let this continue.
- It's not fair to Jabbar.
- Yeah, I know.
But, you know, it's a tricky situation.
Yeah, I know.
I know it is.
But Jabbar was upset.
Well, maybe we just wait and see how it all works out.
- Crosby, no.
- Okay, see you, guys.
I think you need to talk to your brother about it as soon as you can.
- Hello? Crosby? - Okay, I-I will.
Hey, listen, 10 a.
m.
luncheonette.
Don't forget.
- Right.
I'll be there.
- Okay.
So I'll be by tomorrow to pick up Jabbar around 5:00.
- Okay? - Okay.
All right, bye.
Hey Max! Breakfast.
Hey, honey, it turns out that the luncheonette is more of a landmark than I thought it was, 'cause The Weekly is probably gonna run a story on Crosby and me fixing up the recording studio.
- Wow, that's great.
- I mean, 'cause we just-- we need some local press, you know? Yep.
I mean, you don't seem that excited about it.
I'm excited.
'Cause I'm--I'm excited about it, you know? - Yeah.
- It's a good thing.
- I'm excited.
- All right, Max.
I got your raisins.
We got your sandwich.
Carrots, that's what you need.
How's school, bud? - Great.
- Great? - Great, excellent, awesome.
- Really? Why is it awesome? Well, I have a corner locker to store all my books.
Uh-huh.
I'm the fastest at times tables in my whole class.
And every day I eat lunch together with Jabbar.
We're best friends.
It's awesome.
Well, that is great.
You know, this problem was supposed to be solved today.
I think I just found a Commander Cody-- - Braverman.
- Master in here.
Okay, all right, ten minutes.
We'll give it a shot.
Thank you.
So, uh, I guess Max and Jabbar have been eating lunch together, like, pretty much every day.
Did you know that? Yeah, I did know about that.
As a matter of fact, I've been meaning to talk to you about this.
Oh, uh, good.
And, you know, just before I get to the point, I want you to know what a nerve-racking decision it was for Kristina and I to mainstream Max again and, you know, Jabbar has been a godsend because the fact that those two kids have bonded, the two cousins have bonded like that, eating lunch together every day, giving Max such a sense of security during this unstructured, precarious time for him, has been, like I said, it's just been a godsend.
And, you know, forget about all that.
Max calls Jabbar his best friend.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Best friend? - Yeah.
How about that? Your boy and my boy.
So, thank you.
And Max is such a good kid, so-- Yeah, yeah, I know.
He's a great kid.
It's nice that Jabbar has him as well.
I'm sorry.
Wait a minute.
Is there something you wanted to talk about? Uh, yes, um, has the bank called about the loan? - No, not yet.
- They didn't? Okay.
Should we check in with them or--? No, no, no.
All we can do is wait.
Okay.
I'm gonna be treasure diving.
- Hey, honey.
- Hi.
- How's it going? - I'm just studying.
I just brought you some clean undies and bras.
These are cute.
They're so tiny.
So, how's everything going? Better now.
How's Alex? Are you guys doing okay? - It's fine.
- Okay.
I just wondered because he just hasn't been here in a while, and normally he comes over for dinner and you guys are always sort of like two peas in a pod and-- Okay.
I just--I heard you guys fighting or started fighting and I wanted to make sure that you were okay.
That's it.
Okay.
- That wasn't a fight.
- Okay, well, you guys were-- We were having a conversation.
- A disagreement? - Sure, okay.
Don't get defensive.
I was just asking.
I'm not getting defensive, but you come into my room and then you start talking to me about things that you don't know what you're talking about.
Haddie, I just wanted to make sure that you were okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm just worried about you.
I'm just--sometimes, you know, in relationships, people need their space and their time away from each other and then they realize that, when they get back together, this happens Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I need to not have this conversation.
I'm in the middle of doing homework.
- Okay, I get it.
- Sorry.
- You're right.
- Great.

Yeah, Tom Verlaine's great.
It's cool you know that.
Yeah.
Most kids your age don't know television.
Have you heard any of his solo stuff? No, I haven't.
I didn't know there was solo stuff.
Did you know David Bowie actually did a cover of Tom Verlaine's song Kingdom Come? - No, I've never heard that.

Dead Kennedys are okay.
Great choice.
Gimme, gimme some she put it right there on my tongue You guys went on a date.
I can't believe what happened.
I can't believe you're actually mad at me about this.
I mean, are you crazy? Well, okay, first you bring up that I like The Millionaire Matchmaker.
That's embarrassing.
That's what this is about? Who cares? It's a good show.
She thought it was funny.
Look, she was sitting back there.
She wasn't saying anything.
You weren't saying anything.
You invited her to the front seat.
I didn't invite her.
She just came up on her own.
Either way, you were insinuating she should come up here.
Oh, my God.
I drove you to your date.
How about a little gratitude? Wait, I'm supposed to-- if I could drive, I would have.
- I'm sorry that-- - You're welcome for the ride.
Hey, you guys, you're very loud.
You're gonna wake up grandma and grandpa.
What's going on? She wouldn't quit talking the entire date.
- It was all about her.
- Excuse me.
I'm sorry, you know, that you were sitting there, being Rain Man.
I'm sorry.
- I wasn't saying anything-- Don't say "Rain Man.
" That's not nice.
- Good night, Patti Stanger.
- Well, have a nice evening.
You're welcome for the ride.
For God's sakes.
- Tell me what happened.
- It was terrible.
- No.
- Terrible, terrible, terrible.
No.
I wanted him to have a good time.
He literally didn't say one word to her.
He's so shy.
He's gotta take a class or get some help or something.
- Is he gonna be okay? - I'm not sure.
- Thanks for driving.
- Yeah.
Thanks for the thank you.
Bye.
Mom, that's hilarious.
It sounds like you're speaking Chinese.
Oh, that's good.
It's Mandarin.
Oh.
Wait, mom, I can't go to the store without finding out why you're speaking Mandarin.
It's just something I've always wanted to do for--for a long, long time.
Decades.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- How does it sound? - Good.
I mean, I was just joking when I said it sounded like Chinese, but, hey, it sounds like Chinese.
Mom, it sounds good.
It sounds like Chinese.
What am I doing? Like I'm ever gonna learn to speak Mandarin.
- Mom.
- What am I doing? I'm never gonna speak Mandarin.
Do you know why? I don't follow anything through.
I've been painting for 30 years, right? Have I ever had a show? Not one show.
I haven't had one show.
Not even a group show.
Now why do you think that is? - You didn't want a show? - Oh, Sarah.
Mom, what is wrong? I'm upset about Dad's commercial.
- Ugh! Mom.
- What? It's okay.
He's acting, right? No one's gonna really think he's got-- Oh, honey, that's not it.
Oh, is it 'cause he has to kiss that lady on the boat? - Oh, please.
- It would bother me.
Yeah, it's annoying, but it's not that.
It's not like I'm jealous or anything.
Your Dad's fearless, you know? It's one of his most wonderful qualities.
He sees something he wants, he sets his sights on it, he goes after it, he achieves it.
It's the first thing I loved about him.
I hoped some of it would rub off on me, but obviously that hasn't happened, so I'm learning Mandarin.
But I've got to go.
I promised my afternoon to the food bank.
- What do you think? - Cool.
Want to pretend you have your own morning show? - Yeah.
- Yeah? You want to take a call? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, what are you gonna say? Hello, people, what you doing? Hey, I love your show.
First-time caller, long-time listener.
Uh, hey, last week on your, uh, on your show about presidents, uh, why'd you leave Richard Nixon out? I think he was an underrated president.
Yes, he was.
Oh, I'm glad we agree on that.
Now, I wanted your advice on a certain matter here that's happening at work.
I have a co-worker who always wants to eat lunch with me and, uh, well, to be honest, I don't always want to eat with him.
What do you reckon I should do? You should-- you should eat-- you should talk to your dad.
Okay, well, my dad is out of town on business.
Uh, what should I do now? Talk to your mom.
Okay.
Listen, I found out from your mom that Max wants to eat lunch every day with you and you don't really want to.
Is that the case? Yeah? Sometimes I want to eat lunch with Jensen.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I understand that.
But sometimes you have to do things for family and they're not always fun, but you do it because family's so important.
You know what I mean? Mm-hmm.
Well, okay.
I understand that you don't want to eat with Max every day.
But do you think you could do it for just a little while longer? Why? Well, because, you know, Max needs you.
But why can't he eat with some of his other friends? Well, because Max has some problems.
You know? What kind of problems? Well, it's difficult for him to make friends.
You know how you can just go up and talk to anybody and everyone likes you? Kind of like me, right? Super likeable.
Popular as all get-out.
Well, you know, it's hard for Max.
So.
But doesn't he have friends, though? Doesn't he have friends? Well, I think you might be one of his only friends.
That's why you need to hang in there for a little bit.
- Oh.
- And help him, you know? - Okay.
- Yeah? - You'll do that? - Uh-huh.
- Then we'll reevaluate.
- Okay.
All right.
I'm really proud of you.
- Let's go in the loft.
- All right, let's do it.
- Yeah.
- No more radio show for you.
- No.
- All right.
I could have played that for two hours.
Are we ready to shoot this? Actors to places.
Anybody got a 20 on Z? - Metallic! - He's by crafting.
Mr.
Braverman.
Oh, Mr.
Braverman.
Yeah.
I guess we're ready to shoot now.
- Now? - Yeah.
But you said you were lighting.
Come on, come on, let's do this.
The lighting's perfect.
We have a small window so we've got to get it now.
Uh, would you put that in my trailer? - Sure, absolutely.
- Thank you.
- Feeling virile, Zeek? - Huh? - Are you feeling virile? - Virile, yeah, I'm ready.
All right, here we go.
Yeah, lose the glasses.
Lose the glasses.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Man, everybody's so excited.
Hi.
Hi, how's it going? Hi, Torrey.
Am I okay? All right, we're going.
Let's bring that fan out.
Go, fan.
Good luck, okay? - Yeah, yeah.
- Places.
Roll sound.
Make some magic, Zeek.
Sound speeding.
And action! Are you worried about a storm? Storm? Nope.
Looks like clear skies ahead.
You know, I've got a lot of life to live and with Virilia's help, I'm gonna live it all.
And cut! That was perfect, that was perfect.
- Yeah? - Let's do it again.
- All right, back to one.
- What? We're just gonna do it one more time.
If it was perfect, how come we're doing it again? Look, I know you've got a theater background, but I've only got Not 30 minutes.
This ain't Titanic okay? - Be happy, man.
- Okay.
You've got your girl, you're on a boat.
- Yeah.
- Drugs are working.
- Yeah.
- You're virile.
- Yeah.
- Right now.
Right.
I need you to give my heart an erection, all right? Right.
- You need to sell this to me.
- Okay.
Let's do this.
This is the one.
This is the money one.
Here we go.
Come on, people.
All right, places! And roll camera.
Would you like a latte, Zeek? - A latte? - Yeah? Sure.
So we've got, at the revival house, The Breakfast Club, which we've seen before, or there's like a weird animation festival, so we basically have seen it or it's weird.
- Either one.
- That's not fair.
I just describe them to you.
You have to make the decision.
Neither one of them sounds too interesting, so just pick one.
What is your problem? We could see the Michael Cera movie.
Uh, yeah.
I mean, I guess what I'm saying is, maybe I don't want to see a movie.
Okay.
Uh, we can just hang out.
Something, um Some--something's off.
Uh, sorry, I don't know what that means.
Something's off with, uh, with me.
You have a lot going on.
Do you want to talk about something? Well, it's not just with me.
Just with us.
Okay.
You mean with me.
No, I mean with us.
And it's really hard to talk about, but I haven't felt right in a long time, and I don't want to pretend anymore, and that's why I think that we shouldn't see each other anymore.
Why? Because I think that, um, we're in two different places in our life right now and it's--it's-- it's holding us back.
It's a disconnect somewhere and-- Alex, Alex, I'm sorry about the party.
No, no, no, baby.
It's not about the party.
It's--it's something else.
It's like, a lot of times when we're together, it feels like I'm not even there with you, and, Haddie, you deserve somebody that's gonna be there for you, all the way, all the time, and I don't know if I can be that guy for you right now.
- Yeah.
- And I-- You just want to bail.
No, I just don't think-- I think it's best for us if we're not together.
- Okay, yeah, I got it.
- Wait, where are you going? - Can you--can you just--? - I don't know.
Did you want to go to the movies right now? No, I don't want you to leave.
We're not even done talking.
Can you just wait a second? - I don't-- I don't really have anything to say.
Well, can I at least take you home? Please? I insist.
I don't want you walking around this neighborhood by yourself.
Okay, fine.
Let's do what you want.
Haddie, wait.
Um, can you wait a second, please? Hey, guys.
Hi.
- Um, hi, Mrs.
Braverman.
- Where'd Haddie go? I thought you guys were gonna see a movie.
Where-- I-I just wanted to say, um, I'm sorry for--for bringing you guys into my mess.
Just, um, I really-- I really regret that-- Oh, my gosh, honey.
Don't-- Mrs.
Braverman, I do.
Even worry about it.
I know when me and Haddie first started dating that I wasn't exactly what you guys expected.
I know.
Oh, no.
I mean, we've, uh, gotten past all that stuff.
We're-- You know, you're like our family, so-- I know you probably already know this, but you're a really good mom.
I lost mine a long time ago, and I just--I feel really lucky to have gotten to know you, Mrs.
Braverman.
You know You're a good kid.
You've been through a lot.
And we love you, so it's okay.
Um, I love you guys too.
Listen, um, can you just tell your husband I said thank you for everything? All right, I gotta go.
And, uh, tell Max I said, uh, to keep working on his jump shot, okay? And I look to you to see truth and I look to you and I feel nothing - Hey.
- Yeah? - You okay? - Um, yeah, I'm fine.
Um, we--we're not going to the movies.
I have a lot of work to do.
Okay, um, I made dinner if you're hungry.
I'm okay, I'm okay.
I'm just, like, on a roll, so I'm probably just gonna, um, work on this until it's done.
And I look to you I love you.
To see truth It was the damnest thing you ever saw, Millie.
I mean, they had the tablecloths and silverware.
My God, they had lobster, for Pete's sake.
Jeez.
Did you have a chair with your name on it? No, the chair didn't have a name on it, but I had a trailer, though.
You had your own trailer? Oh, well, it wasn't my own trailer.
That director kid had the big trailer.
Oh, but you got along with him okay? Well, yeah, I mean, you know, we had to-- I tell you, Millie, the kid is like-- he looked like an alien.
I mean, the kid has got, like, a mohawk with different colors on it and earrings, you know.
- Wow.
So he was young, huh? - Yeah, he was real young.
I mean, he was like a teenaged kid, you know? But he was--he was a pro.
He was a class act.
I mean, we got along.
Yeah.
God, it was just so much fun.
Millie, it was--it was such a great day, you know? Let me ask you.
Do you think it would be crazy if I tried to pursue something like this at my age? I mean, you know, went after it? Go ahead, just tell me.
Tell me what you think.
You mean, like, just keep doing it? - Yeah.
- Sure, of course, you know? If it's something that you love, don't second-guess yourself.
I'm cold.
You cold? I'm just gonna go throw on a sweater.
So what you do is, you unlock the trap door so that you can go down and get the little circle things, and that's how you get to level 11.
You can come over to my house later and you can watch me play it.
I'm gonna go play with Jensen.
But I'm not done eating yet.
But--but I'm done.
But, no, we eat lunch together every day.
That means we wait until we're both done eating.
Jabbar, go back over there.
No, we said we would eat together every day! - Stop! - No! - Yes! - No, you're breaking the rules! You have to wait until I'm done eating! - No, I don't! - Yes, you do! - No, I don't! - Yes, you do! - No, I don't! - Yes, you do! My dad said I had to sit with you because there's something wrong with you! There's nothing wrong with me! Hey, Amy, check this out.
It's all over Facebook.
Oh, my God.
Is that Mr.
Cyr? Yes.
Dude, come here.
Look at this picture.
Mr.
Cyr making out with some chick.
- Oh, my God.
- I'll see you guys.
Drew, scandalous, right? Yeah, man, it's hilarious.
It's so funny.
- What's your problem? - That's my mom.
In the picture.
That's my mom.
- It is? - Yes.
What is she--? Oh, my God, it's my whole family.
Everyone is so unstable.
I can't believe it.
I mean, she went from my dad who was, like, was a drug addict, and now she's dating some high school English teacher.
And then my aunt, she's trying to buy a baby right now, literally trying to buy people's babies.
Did you know my grandfather is doing erectile dysfunction commercials? I mean, you know what? No wonder our date went so bad.
I mean, let's be honest.
It wasn't good at all.
And my sister, my sister wasn't even supposed to be there.
You know, I'm the one that asked you out.
God, I'm the one that liked you.
Thanks for showing me the photo.
The kids were eating lunch.
I mean, everything was fine, uh, until I heard the shouting.
And as I got closer, Max pushed Jabbar on the ground.
How did this whole thing start? I don't get what happened.
Max told us that Jabbar was supposed to eat with him.
I'm sorry, I'm a little confused, because I thought that we figured out the lunch issue.
The lunch issue? You said that you talked to your brother.
I said I was going to and I didn't end up having time to, so-- What is-- what is this about? I don't know what's going on here.
What the hell's going on, Crosby? Max told Jabbar that they had to eat lunch together every day.
I thought that they wanted to eat together.
Yeah.
What--? - Not--not all the time.
- What? So what do you mean, you didn't have a chance to talk to Adam? That's what we agreed, that that was the best way to handle this.
I spoke to Jabbar, we had a conversation, and I thought the whole lunch thing would blow over, and it didn't.
I'm sorry.
What did you say to Jabbar? It's not relevant.
It doesn't matter, clearly.
Yes, it is relevant.
He said that I had to be nice to Max because there's something wrong with him.
No, no, no, no, that is not what I said.
Max, nothing's wrong with you.
I said that we're family and we need to stick together and I said that Max has some problems.
Who doesn't have problems? You should have listened to her and come and talked to me.
What the hell's the matter with you? Lookit, I went out of my way to ask my son to do something that he didn't want to do for you.
How are you mad at me? This is a new school for him.
He's trying to work it out.
How is that relevant? You're mad at me because I'm trying to help you! You feel okay so he can come to a regular school so he's not stigmatized.
Am I supposed to be the only one who can't talk about it? You guys can talk about it.
You can talk about it with your son, but I never-- You don't get it.
He has Asperger's, and we've worked very hard to make sure that he doesn't view it like a limitation.
Okay, so I won't ever talk about it.
- Good! - I mean, honestly! If you just did what I told you to do, you wouldn't be in this mess.
Okay, I'm so sorry, sweetie.
I'm sorry I failed you again.
Yeah, well, at least you're consistent.
- Where? - Do you like Italian? I do.
Oh, jeez, hang on.
- Oh, hi! - Hey, Drew.
Sorry.
- You know Mark.
- Sure do.
- Hello.
- How was school? Huh? Drew.
What? - How was school? - School was great, all right? I'm the laughingstock right now, so thanks.
Wait.
Why? Come here.
Talk to me.
What happened? Because there's a picture of you guys making out going around school, so-- - What? What do you mean? Making out in front of the school in a car.
- Of us? - Yeah, of you.
- That's impossible, honey.
- Um, okay, well, there is, so-- Oh, it's from--we're-- well-- - We weren't making out.
- We weren't making out.
- We just were saying good-bye.
- Oh, great, great.
So you weren't making out.
All right, cool.
- I mean, who has the picture? - Everyone, mom.
Including the girl that I like, so thanks.
Oh, honey.
You'll probably see it in the yearbook.
Hey.
Well, I have been pretty full of myself for the past week or so, haven't I? - Really? - Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, you know, I-- it was a good job.
I really liked it, but heck, you know, it's not like I want to do it the rest of my life or anything.
Well, why not, if you love it? Well, Millie, I just don't want it to drive a wedge between you and I.
Yeah, I know.
I know you don't.
I did feel, uh, left out.
I mean, you were just so happy.
You know, you were incredibly happy and, uh, I had nothing to do with it.
See? That's the thing.
None of it had anything to do with me.
But it started me thinking that I have to find something like that for myself, you know? Something that makes me feel that way.
Maybe I have to do something more with my painting.
You know, put my stuff out there.
Um, I started learning to speak Mandarin, something I've always wanted to do.
I don't know.
Something.
I'll figure it out.
The good thing is that it, um, inspired me, you know? You inspired me, so-- Aw, come on.
Well, you did.
Me? Sure.
So what was it like, kissing a much younger woman? What was she, like 35? Oh, Millie So, uh, guess what? I stole something from work, and I was thinking that, you know, if I did another commercial, maybe I should get to know its properties.
You don't need that.
Shake your chain You can say that again.
- You can call me Captain.
- Ooh! Just relax.
Oh, my soul Mmm oh Mmm Each day a living prayer - Hey.
- What are you doing? - Were you sleeping? - No, no, I wasn't.
What are you doing here? I snuck out.
Nice.
Hey, I'm glad you're here.
I-I wanted to say I'm sorry about what I said at school.
I was completely overreacting.
I was acting crazy.
I don't--I don't think you're crazy.
Take back your sigh You want to go for a walk? Yeah.
Um, yeah.
Just one second.
Hey, hey! I like your PJs.
Oh Thank you.
Oh, my soul Hi, mom.
Hey, honey.
We broke up.
I'm sorry.
I just--I don't understand why, if he loves me, he doesn't want to be with me.
I don't know and-- I feel like I did something wrong.
No, you didn't do anything wrong.
It's not your fault, okay? This is about him.
Listen, sometimes people-- it's--it just happens.
It's okay.
It's okay, baby.
It's okay.
What are you doing? What does it look like I'm doing? Ow.
What are you laughing at? You know, you're like the last person in the world I want to see right now.
Yeah? Right back at you.
Why are you running mic cable right now? Uh, I am running mic cable because I want to see if I could get this to work.
Uh-huh.
And you just got a compulsion in the middle of the night to make sure that the mic cable will work? What's the urgency of this mic cable? Because the bank called and the loan came through.
For real? Brother, we are officially in business.
Come on! Say it again.
We are officially in business.
Oh! All right! Come on! You got that board on? Let's see if your, uh, mic cable running works.
This is the craziest thing I've done in my life.
Hey, the luncheonette is back.
