She was a senior and I was a sophomore.
And she was Just say it got weird.
We got weird.
She was a freak.
- Bad memories - Okay, Okay.
Well, maybe you could hand me a list of names that you haven't slept with, and then - You know, we - Oh, that's funny.
What about the last name? Where you at on that? I thought we already decided on - Trussell-Braverman - No, you said Braverman-Trussell seems to me like-- you know I don't think that's legal.
Braverman's got a ring to it, just straight Braverman no hyphen, just - Real solid.
- Yeah.
How about this one for your car? - This is cute.
- No, honey, that is pink.
I dont want.
There is a red one, a black one.
Yeah, but it's got a five point harness and it's on sale.
Yeah, it's on sale because it's pink.
No man wants to drive around with a pink seat.
What's going on? You okay? I think this might be it.
No, honey, that No, you're three weeks away.
That's not--no.
It's probably a Braxton Hicks.
It's a Braxton Hicks.
No.
We'll just wait.
We'll just time it now.
No, no, it's definitely not a Braxton Hicks.
Honey, it's three weeks away.
There's no way that this is it.
We don't have a name.
We don't have a car seat.
We don't even have diapers or wipes.
I didn't finish "what to expect when you're expecting".
Honey, we need to go to the hospital, okay? Well, then I need to at least grab, um, a monitor so we can hear the baby cry.
- Crosby-- - And then onesie-- What are we gonna dress her in? - Crosby! What? I don't want to have my baby here, okay? Let's go.
Okay.

I don't have my keys.
I'm sorry.
- Again! It's very late.
- I know.
I know it is.
You know what? I took a cab home, and I left my car with the valet, and they have my keys, so I--if that was-- I mean, hey, I did the responsible thing.
You did.
Good job.
Maybe leave one under the mat next time.
Okay.
That's such a good idea.

They're somebody else's dogs.
I take pictures, but don't put your hands on them.
Thank you.
Okay.
- You're a photographer of dogs? - Yeah.
- And a super.
That's awesome.
Thank you.
Okay, night-night.
I think my mom has those pajamas.
Oh, that's nice.
Her mom has them, Carl.
No, she doesn't.
Lincoln, come on.
Okay, good night.
- Come on, let's go.
- Bye-bye.
- Good night.
- Is she mad? Are you mad, super lady? No, no, not mad.
Just tired.
People are staring at us.
Are they? I don't care.
- Whoo! - I don't care.
- Thank you.
- I have an idea.
Yeah.
What would you say if I asked you to go spend the night with me in a cheap motel? What brought this on? I don't know.
It's a gift, you know? It's like-- Oh, it's a gift.
No, I just Like life is a gift.
I mean, last year we went through so much stuff, and I just want, you know, to be spontaneous with you, like we were before and - Okay.
Just live every single moment.
- I agree.
- You know, carpe diem.
- Carpe diem.
- Carpe diem! - All right.
- Yeah.
Carpe diem.
Hey, Adam.
- Hey.
- It's kind of late, you know.
I charge extra past midnight.
- Listen Would it be possible for you to take the kids tonight, have them for a sleepover? We'll pick 'em up first thing in the morning.
Aha! You're heading on down to funkytown.
Dad, could you please not say "funkytown"? The Braverman testosterone is a potent and wonderful thing.
You got to keep that fire in the loins, son Like a rock-and-roll song.
It's like the Stones.
Yes, it is.
- Fire in the loins.
- Okay, dad, I got to go.
Okay, all right, thanks, bye.
All right, we're all good.
Carpe diem.
Carpe diem.
I miss you.
- I miss your smile.
- Um, so How you doing? Are you moving around a lot and stuff? Are you still in Kandahar? - I'm not--I-- - What do you, like, do? I mean, what are you-- what are you up to? Went to work yesterday.
Went to work.
- Yeah.
- I mean, are you Are you safe? We're not--we're not really allowed to Oh, you can't-- you can't talk about it.
Right.
Okay.
Um I miss you so much.
It's hard.
I love you, and I can't wait to see you.
Ryan.
Babe, you're frozen.
Aah! - We're getting close now! - One more big push! I need you to really push for me.
No, I can't.
We're really close! Come on! One, two, three, push! Push! Push, push, push! Go, go, go! Aah! You have a happy baby girl.
Honey, honey.
You want to cut the umbilical cord, dad? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Look who's here.
What's going on? The camera that you gave me broke.
Is there a warranty? Uh, it's 45 years old, so Probably not.
What, uh How'd you get here? I walked.
You're in my radius.
What? My radius.
My parents gave me a radius around the house where I can walk to on my own.
The idea is that I build autonomy so that eventually I'll be able to move out and support myself.
Also, eventually they're gonna die, so I'm gonna need to learn how to live on my own anyway.
Hmm.
That's touching.
All right, I'll look at this.
I'll see what you did here.
Why are you taking a photograph of something that's already a picture? - That's for a brochure.
- This painting sucks.
Why would anyone want it in a brochure? Yeah.
Some people think it's art.
I don't know.
I see what you're doing here with the lights.
- What are you talking about? - Well, when you light it from the side like this, it's still bright without being shiny and having glare.
But you also get to see the bumps in the paint.
Yeah, that's right.
You're right.
That's--that's texture.
How do you know about that? I'm really sensitive to light, which sucks, because I get headaches in the sun a lot.
I should wear a hat, apparently, but I don't like hats.
Hats suck--they make me feel really uncomfortable.
- Yeah, I hear you.
- The photos that I took with that are a lot better than that painting.
- Took some photos? - Mm-hmm.
- They're all bugs? - Yeah, but keep going.
There's some of my lizards too.
These are pretty good, Max.
You actually got a little bit of an eye there.
You ought to do people.
People bore me.
Yeah, I get that.
Well, if my aunt Sarah takes pictures of dogs and cats, why can't I do it of bugs? How is aunt Sarah? She says she's a lot better now that she broke up with you.
Okay.
She didn't say that, and it wasn't-- - Yeah, she did.
- No.
It was mutual, so That's not the way she told it.
She said it exactly like that-- she's a lot happier now that she broke up with you.
- Yeah, she may have - Verbatim.
Said it that way, but that's what she probably says to kids.
But, uh Everyone was in the room- my mom and dad too.
- All right.
Here, the shutter was jammed on that.
Okay.
You got to be careful with this.
- Thanks.
- That used to be my camera, you know, when I was a kid.
And not a bad job either.
Bye.
Oh, Max.
You want to stick around and look around, it's fine with me.
I'm about to shoot some three-dimensional crap if you want to see that.
- Do you got any snacks? - Snacks.
Yeah.
I got cream soda.
Might be flat, though.
That's fine.
I like soda when it's flat.
- All right.
- I'm just in it for the sugar.
That's my motto for life-- "I'm just in it for the sugar.
" - And right about here - Yeah.
Is where the kitchen's gonna be, okay? A nice little corner cupboard.
Right about here is the sliding door, out to the back porch, the backyard-- Boom! Look at that view! - Awesome.
- It's really nice! - Pretty awesome.
- It's really nice.
Yeah, it goes all the way around.
- Wow.
- There's gonna be 26 houses? - Yeah, something like that.
- That's like a whole neighborhood.
Practically.
Can I come to your first day of building? - If he gets the job.
- Oh.
- Cross your fingers.
- Yeah.
I'm still bidding on it, buddy.
- What does bidding mean? - Well, that's when I put in an estimate on how much it's gonna cost, then they talk to other builders about how much they think it's gonna cost.
And it usually comes down to lowest price wins.
Why don't you just bid really low? - There you go.
- Well, he can't bid too low.
He has to protect his profit margin.
There you go.
That's exactly right.
Who.
.
who taught you that? I know business.
Are you kidding? You got to protect your profit margin, babe.
That's right.
- Babe, you're gonna get it.
- It's two years' work.
- Wow.
- You're gonna get your job.
We'll be like the Rockefellers.
We'll be like the Rockefellers! Yeah, if I get it.
I haven't gotten it yet.
Company's been trying to poach you for years.
They'd be lucky to have you.
Yeah, they would.
- Yeah--listen to you! - No, they w-- Well, they would! They'd be lucky to have me and my humility over there.
- It's gonna be a good year.
- It's gonna be a great year.
They're dancing.
Say, "dancing, dancing.
" La la la.
La la la.
La la la.

She's pretty amazing.
- Um - She keeps me grounded.
That's for sure.
How are you feeling? I feel good, you know, although I'm not cured.
They don't really say that for five years, but today, right now, I'm good.
I'm cancer-free.
Hear, hear.
Yeah.
Knock on wood.
That is so great.
I am so happy to hear that.
So something tells me you're not here just to ask about my health.
- Kristina.
- Yes.
- Come on.
- What? My first priority is certainly your health and your well-being.
However, um I'm not here to ask you to work for my campaign.
Okay.
You're not.
That's good, because the last one, we We lost.
I'd like you to run it.
Okay, um That's really nice of you-- Kristina - I am so flattered.
- I know education is your passion.
It is.
I know that there are changes that you want to implement.
- There are, but - There is no better place to affect change on a municipal level than from the mayor's office.
And when we win, you are not just gonna be my advisor, but the education will be your domain.
And I promise you, I will not hit on any of your family members Including your husband.
Please don't.
Kristina You have been through hell and back.
Let's do something great together.
Okay, okay, okay.
- Just an hour, right? - Yeah.
Yeah, I promise.
Okay, let's let the hyenas in.
Hi.
Hi! Oh, my gosh.
Look! - So sweet! - She's even whiter than she was in the hospital.
- Zeek! - A lot of mixed-race babies are light-skinned, so Lightskinned? She's more like an albino.
She's gorgeous! We have a ton of food.
You're saying words out loud.
A lot of it needs to be heated up.
I don't know if there's enough time for that.
Oh, we have all the time in the world.
You got a name for that baby yet, Cros? You know, we're working on it, but thanks for bringing it up.
- Sure.
- What about Ava? We were gonna name Nora Ava - Like Hitler's girlfriend? I love Ava! What about the last name? I'm thinking of maybe monogramming a little something? Well, Braverman will be the-- - Trussell-Braverman, maybe.
Or Trus--Trussell-Braverman.
That's a little long.
You want something that'll fit on the back of a football jersey.
Then I should be a Braverman too.
- Yeah, that's right.
- Okay, you know Maybe everyone could just email all their suggestions to us, and we'll pore through 'em and do a "reply all.
" Just having fun.
Come on, hey.
- Someone's cranky.
- Ton of fun.
Didn't mean to be pushy.
Wow.
Somebody missed his nap time.
I guess so.
How's Drew? How's school? - He's loving it.
- God, that's great.
He's really challenging himself.
He's taking this Karl Marx class that he was excited about.
- What is this? - Oh, boy.
Drew taking the Marx class.
Oh, he's not taking that anymore.
- What do you mean? - He dropped it.
Oh.
Well He dropped it.
So he dropped his Karl Marx class.
I guess so.
This looks really What's going on there, Crosby? You look like crap.
- Oh, well - Mm.
Thank you.
That's such a nice way to put it.
He's not getting his eight hours of sleep that he-- - eight-hour Crosby.
- Well, I don't want to miss any moment with the baby, so I'm trying to be up for the feedings and whatnot.
Well, for the baby's sake, one of you should be well rested.
Yeah.
One of us should.
Does that--that mean that I'm gonna get to be one? Good job, Nora.
Put it right here so we can play basketball, okay? How's Ryan holding up? Uh Hard to say, to be honest.
You don't know where he is Stationed? No idea.
No idea where he is or what his day is like or anything, so Can't believe he got called back.
That just seems But I mean, he's in the reserves, I guess, so That's how it goes.
Yeah.
Well If I get this big, uh, contract, um Let him know he's got a job with me.
For real? - Yeah.
- That's mad cool, Uncle Joel.
Thanks.
Sure.
- I'm gonna pee.
- Okay.
- You sure you can-- - Yeah.
I don't think anything's gonna wake them up at this point.
Yeah, thanks.
Don't let him bite you.
That's what I thought it was, so - Hey.
- Hi.
What's wrong? - I'm just in a weird mood.
- What happened? Nothing.
I just-- I was talking to Uncle Joel about Ryan, and I feel sad, and I miss him, and--I don't know-- I'm stressed 'cause, you know, he was, like, distant the last couple of times-- I know.
You said that.
It's no big deal, but I'm just wondering-- - Well, distant is a big deal.
It hurts, doesn't it? It hits on a level - It seems like it's a - It's like a dog whistle.
- Serious emergency.
- You want me to help? No, no, visit with your family.
She's an angel.
- She's so cute.
- Really, that's-- - Should we go? - Maybe.
Coffee? - Definitely.
100% - Want some coffee? We should go.
I will be running his mayor campaign.
- I understand.
- Ok.
I'd be heading up education.
If he wins, he'd put me on staff.
I'd get to rub elbows with people I've always wanted to meet.
And who knows? Maybe someday I could even run for office.
- I get it.
- You never know.
He's making it sound real great.
There's just one problem-- he's a liar.
Okay, I know that you don't like the guy, but this is my dream.
I'm not just gonna be a speech writer.
Let's not forget what he tried to do with Amber.
He basically promoted her, took her to Sacramento, so he could, you know Watch it.
What? He tried to get her to play with his blocks.
He didn't get the blocks in the holes.
Uh, what? I can't make the metaphor work.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
You even said yourself, "seize the day.
" That's what I want to do.
I get it-I know you want to seize the day.
Carpe diem.
I just don't want to see you make a mistake, okay? And I think working for a guy you don't trust and respect could wind up being a huge mistake.
Okay, you're right.
I don't fully trust him always.
- I'm looking out for you.
- I get it.
Please just talk to Bob and tell him no.
Okay, fine.
I'm not telling him no yet, Adam.
- Max, what are you doing? - What are you doing? No, no, no, Max, you can't just-- you can't just pick her up.
- It's okay, honey.
- Come here, honey.
Come here--I got her.
She sucks.
- Honey, honey.
- Nora sucks.
She's a terrible model.
Don't just grab her like that.
She's a baby still, babe.
It's okay.
I got you.
Hank told me I need to take What do you mean Hank told you to take 10,000 pictures? - Hank? Sarah's Hank? - Yeah, Hank.
- When did you see Hank? - I saw him yesterday.
I walked to his shop.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You walked by yourself to his shop? Yeah.
He's in my radius.
Max, the radius wasn't set up for you to go to Hank's photography studio.
Well, it's in my radius, so I'm allowed to walk there on my own.
- How long were you there? - I got there at 12:36 and I left at 2:17.
You were there for two hours? No.
I was there for 1 hour and 41 minutes.
- Okay.
- And anyways, Hank says I have to start taking pictures of people now, 'cause they may be a pain in the ass, but they pay to get their pictures taken.
- Okay.
- If keep taking pictures of bugs and lizards, he says I'll end up poor and homeless.
Mom, turn this way.
I don't really want my picture taken.
Honey, I didn't brush my teeth.
Kristina, you talk to Bob.
I'll talk to Hank, okay? - All right, bye.
- I guess.
- There she is.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Morning.
- I got your bagel.
- Thank God.
They didn't have the cheesy kind with the cheese on top.
What? It's not good for you anyway.
Have you heard from Drew? Uh, like specifically or just in general? - At all.
- Yeah, I mean We talk every once in a while.
He's busy with school.
- How is he? - He's good.
He just doesn't-- you know, I wrote him this big, long email, and then he sent me a text.
By the way, don't send a text in response to an email.
That's just rude.
Is it? He said, "Going to class.
Gtg.
" What does that mean? It means, you know "Got to--got to go.
" What is "brb"? It's "be right back.
" And then, here's the biggest insult-- "love 'u.
'" Just "u," the letter "u.
" Not the whole word.
Just the letter.
I gave birth to "u.
" Don't I deserve the "y" and the "o"? - Sassy.
Love it.
- And thanks? But seriously What's going on? You're very sensitive about this.
Of course.
I want to know what's going on.
He's gone, and I'm just interested, you know? He's not even that far away, and it feels like he might as well have gone to, you know, the east coast or something.
I wouldn't take the abbreviations personally.
I don't think it means-- And then he sent me this little yellow smiley face.
What is that? A little emoji art for ya? I want to send him emoji art back.
Show me how to do it.
Maybe he'll respond to me then.
Oh, boy.
There goes my morning.
Hey, you got free bagel delivery.
- Oh, my God.
- I know how to buy apps.
Listen, if you're feeling sensitive about Drew, I think you should just, you know, call him or tell him or something like that.
Isn't it fun that I live in the neighborhood now? You can show me how to emoji things and stuff.
Good times! It's gonna be a long Long summer.
Good times! And then there was what you did at Gensung Corporation.
Gensung.
My God.
Yeah, that was two years of my life.
We still talk about that case.
I was just having lunch with Eric Gainor the other day, and he was talking about how you restructured the debt.
It was genius.
I tell all my guys-- "you want to see how it's done, you look at the opinion in that case.
" Well, it was a team effort.
My ass.
It was all you.
You're like a You're like a legend around here.
I couldn't believe you were coming in for this job.
Well, I took a year off to be with my family, you know, and I'm ready to get back to my life, and I'd like to do it here at your firm.
Look, I'm--I'm so familiar with your work.
I'm a huge fan, honestly.
I'm gonna have to call your references for formal reasons and your former employer.
I'm a little curious why you don't have Leon Dengraff listed, but Oh.
Uh, yes, of course.
Well I decided the criteria for my references would be that they knew all my work on more of a day-to-day basis, and Leon is Leon Dengraff, certainly, but he's also mostly on the golf course these days, so Good.
I mean, so there wasn't-- there was no problem with Leon or No.
Leon was probably not happy that I decided to take that year off.
- Mm-hmm.
- But, you know It was a decision I felt I had to make at the time.
I'm in a completely different place now and fully ready to commit.
- Yeah.
- So Well, I mean, it's just-- like I said, I will need to contact him.
Great.
- Crosby.
- Huh? - Crosby! - Huh? The toast is burning.
There's smoke every-- what are you--what's going on? - Oh, no.
Crap, crap, crap! Go, go, get away, get away, get away.
Uhoh.
Oh, come on! You fell asleep making my sandwich.
I'm starving.
Oh, man, I didn't choose to fall asleep, okay? I was waiting for the toast, and my eyes involuntarily ceased to remain open.
Okay, well, maybe if your family hadn't stayed over for, like, five hours, you'd be more rested.
Oh, yeah.
It's my family's fault that we haven't slept for four days.
All four days their fault? Can you, um - Yeah, I buy that.
- Can you make sure you smooth the peanut butter out? Jasmine, don't micromanage me.
I'm making a peanut butter-- I'm not! - Despite burning the toast - Just make it however you want to make it.
This is crazy.
- What? - This! Where I got to wake up in the middle of the night to watch you breast-feed the baby.
I'm not doing anything other than just not getting sleep.
Some people may only need a couple hours of sleep.
I need eight, okay? Some people might be at peace with not having a name for the baby.
I would like a name for our baby.
Okay.
Well, I mean, if you need eight hours, you need eight hours, right? I mean, clearly, your mommy thinks you do.
She can name the baby.
What does my mom have to do with this? Because you invited your entire family over here for the entire day-- - I told you ten times they were supposed to leave.
I don't-- I don't have control over them! It's like having a team of Billy goats in the room.
I can't just-- what am I gonna do? Here, I have to pee.
Can you please hold your daughter before you go get your beauty sleep? I'm sure you're going to be the best thing that ever happened to me someday, but right now I just really hate you.
- Adam.
- Yeah, I know.
What, am I in your radius too? - Sorry about that.
- No.
He's fine.
- He's all right.
- So, uh Things didn't work out in Minnesota, huh? Yeah, well The weather sucks there, so Yeah.
But you moved there for your daughter, right? Yeah, I did, but, uh All right, here's the thing.
As soon as I got there, my ex-wife and I started to argue, and everybody's upset.
Is that better for my daughter that I'm there? Well, I'm sorry.
That was a Good thing you did, but it had to be a tough decision to come back.
Yeah, it wasn't easy, but it's okay.
Listen, I want to pay you for fixing Max's camera.
So how much do I owe you? You don't owe me anything.
It wasn't even broken.
Well, I'm not comfortable not paying.
So, if you could tell me how much-- - oh, okay.
It's $1,425.
- Come on, it's nothing.
- All right.
- It's nothing.
- Thank you.
Don't worry about it.
The shutter was jammed.
That's all it was.
Well, listen, I know Max was here for over two hours, and I want you to know you don't have to entertain him.
You know, he can be real persistent.
So, if you want him to leave, you just tell him to leave.
I know, I know.
I know all about that.
He was okay, you know? He looked around.
He asked some questions.
I didn't mind it.
Oh.

What's going on with you? The last time we talked, you were thinking of, uh, getting back into politics.

Something weird happened, and I'm sort of thinking about it, but it's Remember Bob Little? Remember the guy I used to work for? - Yeah.
- Well, he's running for Mayor.
And, um, he wants me to run his campaign.
- This just happened? - Yeah, it just happened.
- That's incredible.
- Which is such an honor.
And if he wins, which I think he could win - Okay.
- He'd put me in charge of education and, uh That's what you want.
I Adam's not really on board.
I don't think he likes the guy, so he's kind of Okay, but it's not really Adam's choice.
That's true.
I just don't know if this is the best opportunity right now to do that.
I have a scan coming up.
You know how scary that is.
Kristina, I love you, but that's crap.
- No, it's not crap.
- No, it is.
You don't wait.
You don't wait for a good scan.
Don't wait.
Don't wait for anything.
If this is something you want to do, you need to do it.
If there's anything this taught us, it's no waiting.
This is not the dress rehearsal.
This is it.
You want to do this Do it.
So, tell me more about college.
I need more, because I have to vicariously live through you - because I didn't get to-- - There's nothing.
It's just reading and sleeping and eating.
Have you laid eyes on any cute ladies you want to tell me about? Ryan's coming home, right? - Isn't that soon? - Very smooth transition.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Um, yes, he is.
He's coming home.
I feel scared.
Why? Because I don't know--it's like I have no idea how to relate to what he's going through, and I feel like he's, like, kind of closed off and stuff.
And--I don't know.
It just makes me feel nervous, like Uhhuh.
Like maybe he doesn't like me anymore.
He still likes you.
I hope so.
Amber, it'll be fine.
I mean I don't know.
I mean, you know, what if he What if he starts acting Distant? What if he text me, you know, some sort of vague, blow-off-y text like, "brb," you know, emoticon art.
Oh, okay, yeah.
Maybe he has class, and maybe he thought you were his mom when he would be doing that because - I'm sorry.
- That sounds very familiar.
Listen, I'm sorry if you're annoyed, but I need you to help me out here, because you know how mom is, and when one of us is not paying attention - I know exactly how she is.
- She goes to the other one and sucks all the energy out.
I'll text her.
Just give her a small treat, would you? I'm serious.
I need your help.
It's bad.
You know, I've only ever had the one job since grad school.
I put all my eggs in one basket, and now that Leon is being vindictive, I'm screwed.
I really And he deserves to be, because I messed up.
He has every right, but Honey, you didn't mess up.
You chose your children over your work.

I'm shocked.
That- Oh, you got it.
Got it.
Skills.
We could be friends.
- What? - We could.
It would never get weird.
I don't date women over 30.
Well, that's convenient, because some of my best friends are 40-year-old guys who date 20-year-olds.
Really? No, Carl, not really.
Um, okay.
Do you want help with the ladder or - I'll get it.
- Nice satchel.
Hey, I'm coming up to your house right now.
I'm out front.
Come on, come on, come on! - What is the problem? - Hey, hey, let's go.
Come on, come on, come on, come on! What are you doing? Where are you going? - Come on! - Crosby, what the hell? Stop the car.
What is going on? Shh, get in, get in, get in, get in.
- All right! - Quietly, quietly.
She just went-- She just fell asleep! Okay, okay.
Sorry.
She wakes up, you own her! Okay.
All right.
Why are we driving 2 Miles an hour? Because she likes the hum and the vibration.
She doesn't like sudden, unexpected noises.
Anything sharp or sudden will wake her up, so just kind of - She's beautiful.
- Yeah, well You know, sometimes that's not enough.
What do you mean it's not enough? I just need you to tell me that this is temporary-- the crying and the spitting up and the diarrhea and, you know, the sleep deprivation.
She's ruining me.
You understand that? I am half the person I was three weeks ago.
I cannot live like this.
You think it's funny? My health is going down the toilet right now.
- Crosby, it's temporary.
- Do you know what lack of sleep does? It's tied to diabetes.
People get diabetes.
A ring of fat around your stomach.
You're tired.
It's gonna pass.
- Yes, I am very tired.
- Okay, listen to me.
It is temporary, okay? She's a baby.
She's gonna grow out of it.
It's gonna take some time.
You're gonna fall into a rhythm where you're gonna be less tired, okay? Okay, but you-- it's not just the exhaustion.
It's What is it? I don't even want to admit this, but I don't feel anything.
I don't feel anything.
I'm watching Jasmine hold her, and she clearly has some connection that I don't have.
I'm waiting for this wave of love to wash over me, and it's just not happening.
Did you experience that with your kids at all? No.
I didn't.
So I'm just-- I'm a terrible person.
I'm the worst person in the world.
Crosby, it's just-- it's like Jabbar, okay? You love him, right? Kids don't come into the world walking and talking.
This is a baby, all right? Just give it some time.
All right.
I'll give it some time.
Meanwhile, get some sleep.
You'll feel a lot better.
Well, easier said than done.
I'm gonna have to learn how to sleep while I drive.
Take a nap.
Learn how to take naps.
All right? You'll be fine.
Thank you.
I'm gonna hang a right here on elm.
- Hop out right now.
- All right, all right.
I'm getting out.
I'm getting out.
- Would you relax? - Watch yourself.
- Okay.
- All right, I'll see you later.
Oh, my go-- Sorry! Oh, man! Honey, I don't think it's unrealistic that Max could have think a legitimate future in photography.
You know, Hank said he's got a good eye and seems to genuinely like Max, so - Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
- It would definitely be weird for my sister, so we're gonna have to clear it with Sarah, but I think it's a good thing.
I think that's a good thing too.
But, honey, my hammies have been so tight all week ever since I went on that long run.
You think you could, uh Give me a little help? Stretch out the old hammies? Huh? I'll stretch out your hammies.
- Okay.
- Hmm? Hey, Adam, I, um-- I wanted to ask you.
You know how you were talking to me about Bob Little, and you were like, "oh, don't go to work for him.
" Honey, I thought we talked about this, okay? I thought we shut this down.
And I'm agreeing with you.
I think that--you know what? I don't want to go to work for somebody that I don't respect and I don't admire, so I've decided not to run his campaign.
- Excellent.
- However I have decided to run against him.
What? I'm gonna run for mayor of Berkeley.
Kristina, you can't be serious.
I'm serious.
Think about it.
I mean, I've gone to work for these people before.
Why not do it for myself? Kristina- - you keep saying to me - I know you've worked in politics, but you've never run for an office.
- And this is the perfect time.
- Certainly not a major office like the mayor of Berkeley.
This is the perfect opportunity to do so, Adam.
And talking with Gwen last night-- - all right, Kristina, stop.
I get it, I get it.
You're charged up.
You want to seize the day.
But let's talk about whether this is realistic.
- It's more than that, Adam.
- Is this the best time to do this? Of course not.
It's not the best time to do this.
No.
I want Nora to be a little bit older.
You know, things are crazy, and they're chaotic I would like you to take a little more time since-- - they're scattered.
I want to have, like, a thousand clean scans.
I want to be cured.
I want Max to be thriving.
I want our marriage to be even better.
It's great, but I-- Right.
Me too.
So we should wait.
You should start smaller.
No, I'm not gonna wait.
This is a good time.
I'm not gonna wait.
- Kristina-- - I want to do this.
So Even if you wanted to do this, there's got to be some sort of a deadline for filing.
- There is.
- You can't just-- - it's tomorrow at noon.
This is real.
This is real.
I don't know if she's bi-racial, honey.
I think she's bi-species.
She's half-worm, half-human.
Ooh, she is a difficult baby, though.
- Yeah.
- No, I mean really difficult.
- Like worse than Jabbar was? - Oh, way worse.
That's weirdly comforting.
Mm.
But I'm just so in love with her.
You know? I feel so connected.
Don't you? Yeah.
T-totally.
Oh, I think I have a name.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
What is it? Aida.
- Aida.
- Mm-hmm.
- Aida.
- Yeah.
Aida what? Aida Braverman.
Aida Braverman? Yes.
Thank you.
Aida Braverman.
Mmhmm.
We named our baby, and it only took us a week.
- Yes.
- We are pretty awesome.
Yes.
Hold on.
I'm gonna tell you later.
All right.
- How are you? - Good to see you.
- Good to see you too.
- I'm hoping you're gonna tell me some good news.
I think I am.
I, um--I filed my papers this morning.
For I'm running for Mayor.
Hi! Hey, mom.
Look, I got Gino's.
You do not! - Yes, I do.
- You go all the way to Gino's? I went all the way to Gino's.
- What are you doing? - Amber Will you marry me? Oh, my God! Yes! Of course! Yes!
