Parenthood s05e09 Episode Script
Election Day
I feel great, and the pills are under control.
Everything's under control.
Is it true that you violently assaulted a man in a supermarket? Bob Little has found a way to go negative.
We're down to the wire.
He can turn this two-point lead to a five-point lead.
Dropped four points.
We're recommending that he move back to the fourth grade for the rest of the year.
I'm sorry, Julia.
No one asked you to go quit your job.
Just like you went and talked to Miss McKindall.
This isn't fair.
Then I'll be in the same grade as Sydney? And what about all my friends? You can do this.
You're a brave boy.
All right.
- Hey, Victor.
- What's up? What's up, Victor? Dude, I heard he flunked.
Ah, look there.
You can do this, buddy.
You know what, we're gonna take a second.
Come on.
Let's go to the bathroom.
Hey, Julia, what's up? - Hey.
- What's happening? Oh, you know - You all right? - Yeah.
Um Today's the day that Victor's changing classrooms.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
He's going down to fourth.
- Yeah.
- I didn't mean down to-- - over to-- yeah, whatever, into fourth.
I'm sorry.
Look, I know it's hard, but It's the best thing for him.
You know, he's got to be where he needs to be.
Yeah.
In the long run, you know.
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry.
Oh, hey.
Oh, you remember ed? Ed, yeah, hey.
- Hi, Joel.
- Uh We got to get this guy to class.
Yeah, sorry.
Okay.
You're in my seat.
- No, I'm not.
- Yes, actually, you are.
This is my chair, this is my desk, and, like, all my stuff.
My dad owns this whole place.
Your dad is Hank? Yes, my dad is Hank.
Which means all this stuff is mine.
It doesn't matter.
You're still in my seat, and I'm swamped.
Whatever.
And you moved my chair.
So what are you, slave labor or something? No, slaves are illegal.
What are you then? I don't have time to talk right now.
I still have two rolls of film to develop, and the 57 bus was late, possibly due to traffic on College Avenue.
Sometimes the traffic gets blocked up, and it affects the bus schedule.
Bus schedules are not precise.
Far from it.
So now I'm ten minutes late, and you just wasted another five.
Hey, you guys met, huh? Ruby, that's Max.
Mmhmm.
She rearranged the stuff on my desk.
He's learning photography.
He's pretty good.
Well, I'm going out for a doughnut, okay? What? No, no, hold on.
Hold on.
If you're going to get doughnuts, then you should probably find out if any of us wants some doughnuts, hmm? - You want a doughnut? - Sure.
Great.
Bye.
Bye.
Couple jelly.
Jelly's gross.
So you met Ruby, huh? She takes a little while to warm up, but How old is she? Let's go, all right? We're late.
We got to get this done.
Yeah, I know.
I was ten minutes late because the bus on 57 was delayed due to-- Yeah, I heard, I heard.
Thank you so much.
Election day is tomorrow.
I'm running.
I'm Kristina Braverman for a better, braver Berkeley.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Hi, guys.
How are you? Can I give you a bumper sticker? She's gonna be the next mayor.
Tell your parents-- - cute! Hi! All right, soup's on.
Who got what? All righty.
Enjoy.
You got 100% organic ground chuck.
What are you gonna make with that? Okay, take a picture.
Thank you.
That was fun.
Yay.
Call me anytime to discuss.
Thank you so much.
I'm gonna give you my phone number.
Thank you very much.
Good luck on the campaign.
Yes, and that is why I'm running.
I want to fight for you.
So let's win this election.
Vote Tuesday, okay? Whoo! Whoo! Breakfast is on me.
No.
Waffles? Every parent in there.
- And those kids were so cute.
- Kristina Braverman? But did you see the parents' faces? They were like-- - hi.
- Hi, how are you? I'm voting for you, so good luck.
Oh, thank you so much.
That's really nice of you.
Oh, are you pregnant? Yes, five months.
- What are you having? - A little girl.
Kristina, let me show you something.
I know you're busy.
Good luck.
Okay, thank you.
Take care.
She was so sweet.
Look at this.
The new polls came in.
We're within 2 1/2 points.
We could do this.
I could win.
- We got work to do.
- Okay.
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 - Vote for Kristina Braverman.
- Hi, there.
- No.
- Kristina Braverman pin? I know Kristina, and she is someone who would truly represent you and your family.
She's smart, she's honest, Hey, guys.
Kristina Braverman pin? For mayor? So please get out and vote tomorrow.
- Oh, I will.
- We need it.
And I'll bring my lazy-ass husband with me, too.
Thank you.
We need his vote too.
You're magic at-- look at you.
- What? - I cannot give these away.
I don't think I could give away a $5 bill.
Well, this is great.
I'm loving this.
Yeah, you're killing it.
Here you go, vote for Kristina.
I don't want to instigate, but you're not offended by this, are you? No, why? Well, the fact that Kristina and Heather sent us here, you know.
I mean, you're the only black person they know, and they sent you to the black neighborhood.
I just think-- No, why- - well, I'm kind of offended for you.
Don't be.
I mean, and I'm an honorary black person, so I'm a little offended.
Honey, you are very, very white.
Whoa, on the spectrum, right, of black and white, Adam's here.
Farrakhan's here.
And where are you? I'm right here.
I'm like 3/4 of the way to-- - well, I guess if you put it that way, on that spectrum, as opposed to your brother, you are not as white as him.
As long as you're not offended - But you're still very white.
- Then I'm No, baby, I'm really not.
I'm really into this.
You know, elections and voting, it really means a lot to me.
I mean, casting my ballot for Obama in '08 was one of the most meaningful things I've ever done.
You know, like, thinking about how far we've come, and that I helped to elect the first black president.
I mean, I never thought that would happen in my lifetime.
I mean, I know you can't really relate to that, but.
Yeah, I can.
- Really? - Totally.
I don't think that was a black-white thing.
I mean, it was really a profound moment.
I got-- It was.
Yeah, when I voted, I got emotional.
I cried.
You did? - Yeah, I cried--yeah.
- I didn't know that, aw.
Like a baby.
Remember when you got your Little sticker? Yeah, I still have it someplace.
- You do? - Yeah, I think so.
- So do I.
- Yeah? Aw.
You're the best.
I love you.
Okay, so the area that you want to bring out more, you let the light on through the hole just a little more.
You just go over it.
So we want that fence to come out.
So we just go up.
Here, you try it.
We just want that light on that fence.
All right.
I have intentions of asking Ruby to be my girlfriend.
What? As the father, I thought you should know.
I mean-- ho, ho, no, Max, uh That's not a good idea.
- Why not? - 'Cause she's my daughter.
I know.
That's how we met.
Why do you even want her as a girlfriend anyway? She was wearing a sharks shirt.
- Yeah.
- I'm a sharks fan.
That means we have common interests.
Also, we're both 14, and I'm a boy, and she's a girl, which means she meets all the requirements.
You know, Max, come on.
First of all, she lives in Minnesota.
She's moody.
You saw what she's like, right? I'm asking her tomorrow.
Hey, what are you doing up here? What does it look like? Well, it looks like you're profiling a serial killer or something.
Have you taken a job with the FBI? Maybe, by accident, I don't know.
This is terrible.
What kind of system is this? I'm so confused.
Oh, this is your Uncle Adam.
He loves anything antiquated.
Paper, steam engines.
I would really love to- - if he could ride a horse to work, he would.
It's really bad.
We should try to move past this.
Well, you're busy.
I was gonna ask you to help me downstairs with something creative and artistic and musical, but that wouldn't interest you.
What? - The case seems to be - What are you talking about? Hot right now, so I hope you find your man.
Crosby! Wait! Here's what's happening.
Tomorrow we have back-up vocalists coming in to record.
Okay, so? We need a scratch track, and that's where you come in.
What? You are going to sing said scratch track.
No, Crosby, no, no, no, no, no.
- Yes, you are.
- No, 'cause I'm not ready.
Opportunities do not come every day, so please.
For what, for taking you home? I don't have--I'm not-- no, no, no, no, no.
Hey, you know the song or not? Yes, you do.
I know it, but I'm not ready.
I have to get my voice warmed up and stuff.
You're gonna be in here for this? Really? Okay, here we go.
Wouldn't I love to hold you again we were so messed up and busy with keeping it in your eyes we're standing for something that I couldn't see but I knew it was coming we're just one crush away I still want you more we could lay here all day I'd still want you more more, more I should have taken you home I should have taken you home I should have taken you home taken you home taken you home taken you home hi.
Hey.
Sorry it's kind of late.
- Yep.
- Hey, bud.
Oh, my gosh, it's such a good day.
How's it going? - Good.
- Good.
Great.
I got dinner for us but I - Oh, that's okay.
- I already ate it.
You can heat it up.
That's okay.
I'm actually not that hungry anyway.
God, I had such a good day.
I recorded a guide vocal track today with the band.
- Cool.
- Yeah, can you believe it? That sounds cool.
And I was really nervous, because, I was, like, having to sing in front of those boys, but it actually went really, really well.
Of course.
So, I don't know, it was good.
I mean, I don't know.
So how about you? How was your day? It was good, I got home early so I ordered your favorite, you know, and I just, I thought we'd have a romantic dinner, but I didn't know you were going to be getting home so late.
Are you mad at me? No, I'm just bummed.
You know, I got all that food and everything.
No, not about that.
I feel like ever since we dealt with the ring - No! - I don't know, like a little distant or-- No, there's nothing about the ring.
We've already dealt with that.
It's fine now, it's-- I know, but I just- it feels like you took it really personally, like I didn't like it.
No, it's not even worth talking about.
I'm happy.
It's great.
I just missed you, that's all.
I just miss you.
Okay.
- I'm not mad.
- Okay, okay.
- I promise.
- Okay.
I promise.
Okay.
I just really missed you, you know.
- I missed you too.
- Mm-hmm.
- Hey.
- What? There was one other thing I wanted to talk to you about real fast.
- What? - Wait, wait.
What? Are you taking those pills again? What? I was doing laundry, and I was putting some of your stuff away, babe, and I saw that they were in there, and I just-- - no.
That's a--I mean, that's an old prescription.
Well, it's from two weeks ago.
Yeah, I know.
I-I-I haven't-- they haven't stopped it, but I-- it's an old prescription from before.
I don't even need it.
Those are anxiety pills that are-- - babe, I--it doesn't bother me if you take them, I just-- I'm not taking them.
- Okay, okay.
- I don't even need them.
I just wanted--it felt like you were hiding it from me, and I want you to know you don't have to.
No, no, I'm not hiding anything from you.
I just didn't want you to be nervous or freak out about it.
Okay.
I love you.
One last try I hope he can sleep.
Yeah, how was he? Stoic.
You got a text from Ed Brooks.
Oh.
You guys have been texting each other a lot lately.
Yeah, sustainability committee is taking over my life.
Do you want some tea? Nope.
I'm good.
Do you have to vote? You don't have to, but you should.
You know, it's your civic responsibility, living in a democracy, which we live in, which is the greatest form of government, 'cause you can tell them what your opinion is.
Let's go ahead, and make your aunt the mayor of this fine city.
- Yeah.
- Hello there, Edie.
Good morning.
How's voter turnout? Looks pretty strong to me.
Pretty strong.
Pretty strong favors our candidate.
- Well, good for you.
- Yeah.
Our candidate is Kristina Braverman.
She's a heck of a candidate.
Are you a Braverman supporter? We're really not supposed to talk about this.
Name, please.
- Crosby Braverman.
- Braverman.
Just like the candidate, Kristina Braverman.
I don't see your name on our list.
Are you sure this is your polling place? Well, I live right up the street, so I-- - well, you should have gotten a postcard with your polling place on it.
Right, this would have to be the place.
It's so close to my house.
How long has it been since you voted? That's not entirely relevant.
If there's a form or something I've got to fill out-- - the voter registration form.
You can't register to vote the day of the election.
Why not? Because it doesn't work that way.
Okay, listen to me.
I am an American citizen who pay my taxes.
My father is a Vietnam vet, and the Bravermans-- - sir, now you are holding up the line.
I'm just-- Kristina Braverman.
If there's another way for me to sort this out, I need to vote.
And I need you to leave.
You are not registered here.
But don't we get to go inside and push all the buttons? Listen, okay, you know what, I wanted to vote privately, but now she has forced us to vote publicly, which is fine.
We'll vote publicly.
So I, Crosby Braverman, vote for Kristina Braverman for mayor.
Me too.
We voted publicly.
You guys witnessed it.
Mark it down, and we'll see you when she wins.
So do you want to be my girlfriend? What? Do you want to be my girlfriend? Um Not gonna happen.
- Why? - Excuse me.
I'm doing something.
Hey, Ruby, come here for a second please.
What? Just be, like, nicer to him.
All right? What? Just Max.
Just cut him a break.
What are you talking about? He's the one-- - I'm just saying be a little bit nicer, that's all.
So be his girlfriend? No, I'm not saying that.
Look, he's not gonna do anything.
He just wants to say he has a girlfriend, that's all.
It's a guy thing.
I mean, you're gonna be in Minnesota, right? So what's the harm really? Oh, don't-- come on.
I can't believe you.
All right, Ruby.
I'm calling mom.
Do not call mom.
Don't call mom.
Bye.
- Victor slammed the door.
- I know.
And he said the "s" word in the car.
I know.
- So no dessert, right? - I don't know.
- Well, that's the rules.
- Sydney.
Hey, buddy, listen-- Victor, what are you doing? - Shut the hell up, Sydney.
- Victor.
Mom, did you just hear what he just said? Victor, stop right now.
Sydney, go to your room right now.
- That's so unfair.
- Sydney, go to your room so I can talk to your brother.
Victor, come here please.
- This is so unfair! - Can you come back here? - You don't even-- - Okay.
Hey.
I know this is hard for you, but it's the best thing for you.
Why, because I'm a 'tard? No.
Don't use that word about yourself, okay, or about anybody.
Why not? It's true.
It's not true, Victor.
Well, Ethan and his asshat friends said it, so it must be true.
Ethan said that? I will talk to the school.
I'll talk to his mother-- That will just make it worse.
Listen, I know this is rough, buddy, but this is-- - it's for the best.
I know, Julia.
You said it a million times.
Can we talk about this, buddy? Why did you say I was smart, when I'm dumb? Sweetheart You're a liar.
Hey, can you stop? Yeah.
'Cause I want to confess to you that I didn't want you to do this.
I didn't think you were ready to handle the stress after cancer, but you You were ready, and I am so proud of you, win or lose.
Kristina, I'm so proud of you.
- Thanks.
- It's crazy.
I know.
I really want this.
I know.
Who is it? Hey.
Hello.
Aah! Oh, my God! You said come in.
How did you get in here? Didn't you say come in? No, I said, "who is it?" Oh, the door was open.
Listen, I need a woman, now.
Uh my daughter's here for a couple of days, so relax.
Oh.
And it's a disaster.
Tears have been shed.
Stuff has been thrown.
Why, what happened? Max asked her to be his girlfriend.
Well, they'll be very happy together.
She's a hottie.
Trying to be funny? Really? Just-- - listen, I know.
I'm sure it's very stressful.
Just tell them they have to use protection.
You know, I come here for advice-- - well, what happened? I don't get what's wrong.
What's wrong? She's not ready for this.
And Max doesn't, you know, he doesn't even know why he wants a girlfriend.
He's just checking stuff off a list.
You're not ready for this.
She's 14 and, you know, it's right around the corner.
She's not ready.
She's not ready, okay? - Okay.
- And by the way, she thinks he's weird, you know.
Of course she does, but what did you say to her? She just, you know, she thinks I'm trying to sell her into prostitution or something.
Oh, my God.
What did you say to her? I told her, why doesn't she just pretend to be his girlfriend, because she's going to Minnesota.
- Oh, my God.
- She's going away.
There's no harm.
There's no foul.
He doesn't know.
That's the worst advice- of course she's upset.
You told her to lie to Max.
To be nice, not lie.
Just be nice.
That's not being nice though.
It teaches her that you lie to get out of a tricky situation, and anyway, for him, you know, he's gonna have to figure out, you don't have a girlfriend just because you say you like her.
She has to like you back.
It's a two-way street.
Oh, you're right.
Oh, girls are the worst.
Huh? I said thanks, yeah.
- Okay.
- Yeah, you're right.
All right.
You should really lock this, okay? There's a weird guy.
I saw a coyote.
Thanks.
Hey, it's me, again.
I know I've called you like five times, but Victor's having a really rough day, and I know you're busy, but I'm having a really rough day, and I just wanted to talk to you, so, you know, if you get a chance, if you get this message, please call me.
Okay, thanks.
Ooh.
- Ah-ha-ha.
- Yeah.
Well, two can play at this game.
Hey.
And you got to king me too, so - Hey.
- Hey.
- Look what I got for you.
- Whoa! Cool, thanks.
Now when you're 18, you'll get to vote too.
It's one of our greatest honors as citizens.
Yeah, I know.
Dad told me.
Oh, really? Good.
You bet.
God bless America.
- That's right.
- Okay, that's a good move.
Wait, mommy, did you vote public or private? - What? - Uh-oh, here we go.
Did you vote public or private? I'm taking this guy.
- What's public or private? - Well, daddy voted public.
He just told the lady at the table who he was voting for.
Oh.
- That's voting public.
- Oh.
The people that go into the booth are voting private.
Isn't that what you said, daddy? I think you're gonna get swamped here if you don't--I may have said something like that.
Something that sounds like-- something like-- - where's your sticker? Yeah, where's your sticker? I should have taken you home yeah, I should have taken you home I should have taken you home taken you home taken you home taken I should have taken-- - you're right.
- Yes.
- We're good.
- Yeah.
- Like - Are you sure? Let's not spend money on a back-up singer.
Absolutely.
'Cause that sounds great, right? - Yeah, she sounds great.
- I'm sorry, what? You sound good.
Wait, you're not saying you're gonna keep that for your album? - Yes.
- Are you serious? Whoa-- are you serious? What the-- you guys are crazy.
Thank you so much.
Oliver, oh, my God.
Don't thank me.
Thank he-man over here.
He just got you in there.
Hey, look.
When it's good it's good, right? Two more songs, we got a record.
Okay, so can we go drink now? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Let's go to the bar.
- To the bar-mobile.
- Yeah, man.
You coming? - To the bar? - Yes.
- Really? - Come on, you're coming.
Yeah, let's go.
Okay.
- Come on, kirk.
- It's Kevin.
- I'm good.
Sorry.
- Have a doughnut.
Eat one.
We've got a lot.
I'm a Boston cream guy.
You never know, he might punch you.
- I'm gonna take one.
- You've seen how violent he is.
I'm gonna pass these out for you.
Kristina, look who showed up.
Hey.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Thank you.
Hi, honey, how are you? Look at you.
- You look good.
- Thank you.
You know you could have voted absentee, you ding-dong.
You didn't have to come all the way out here.
And miss all this? No way, no way.
You know, there's a good chance that I might lose this election, so Honey, you've already won.
I'm so proud of you.
So proud of you.
Thank you for coming.
Let's go vote.
Oh, is it a problem that I'm gonna vote for Bob Little? - That's a great fix.
- Great.
And then, so all we need to do then, is we take the plumbing up through the kitchen to the second floor.
And we can just add the toilets and all that stuff Yeah, we did it! Right over there.
Done.
Have you tried the eel, cause it's insane, isn't it? I'm telling you, it comes from this little hole in the wall.
It's the best Sushi in the bay area.
So, if we have this-- hey.
- Hi.
What are you doing here? Can I talk to you? Where are the kids? Are they-- - they're at my parents'.
Can I talk to you, please? - Nothing's an emergency.
- Nobody's bleeding, but I would like to talk to you, and I've called you five times-- - that's my fault, 'cause I've been turning-- - you know, this is not about you, Peet.
- Julia.
- Okay, I-- - Julia.
- May I talk to you, please? No, no, you're fine.
You're fine, please, stay.
Julia, I'm working right now, and we will talk about this when I get home.
I'll see you whenever that is.
So you're saying you never voted, like, ever.
When you say it like that, it sounds very judgmental.
Do you think you could rephrase it in a less judgmental way? I don't think I can.
What more important thing were you doing other than voting for Barack Obama in 2008, huh? I was incapacitated in Napa during that election.
Oh, Napa? Napa.
What happened to crying? You know, you said you cried like a baby.
You were getting very emotional, and you were talking about your ancestors and stuff No, I wasn't.
And I got sucked up into it a little bit.
You were talking about the 15th Amendment - No, I wasn't.
- And civil rights stuff.
Cut the crap.
Cut the crap.
You wouldn't even vote for your own sister-in-law? What's wrong with you? I tried to.
How? I went down there, and they would not let me.
Now, I was assuming, because we live in a democracy, that I could register day of, and guess what? I can't.
It's not my fault.
I am an upstanding citizen, and I tried.
If she loses by one vote, which happens, it's your fault.
Hey, Max.
Let me talk to you for a minute.
About what? I'm busy working.
You don't got to work right now.
Just stop for a second.
It's okay.
It's my place, right, so I'm the boss.
So I just want to talk to you about Ruby for a second.
She already said she doesn't want to be my girlfriend, so it's done.
Yeah, no.
I know that.
What I wanted to say was having a girlfriend It's more than just being the same age and liking the same hockey team.
It's more than that.
Then what is it about? Yeah, what is it about? It's, um, it's about feeling stuff, you know, like, on the inside.
Making a connection, I guess.
Making each other laugh.
Having conversations.
What if it's hard? Conversations.
Oh, believe me, it's hard for everybody.
Not just you, it's You know, and screw the people that it comes easy to, 'cause that's not real.
Look, me, I didn't have a girlfriend until college, late college.
The point is, it's gonna happen for you, Max.
Trust me.
Guys like us, just got to take time, you know.
Don't need to rush it.
Okay? Okay.
Can I go back to work now? Yeah.
Thanks.
Yeah, sure thing, Max.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Here, here, here.
I also want to say, here's to the best band ever, and let's make some rock 'n roll history.
Oh, hey, we got a new honorary band mate too.
To her.
There you go! Oh, yeah, yeah, no, you're so good, no.
Okay, all right.
- Whoa.
- No, but seriously, you have the voice of an angel, and it's like Come on, hit me, hit me.
Thank you, thank you.
Sing it with me.
I should have taken you home Why are you on the bottom and I'm on the top? Oh, that's a nice way to slip something pervy in there.
- That was good.
- Did you hear that? That was a good combo right there.
I liked it.
What are you talking about? Don't give him any more.
I'm serious.
He's in trouble.
Hang on.
Hello? Oh, my God.
Where have you been? I've been calling and calling.
Hi.
I'm sorry, babe, I totally spaced out, I'm Hey, hey, Amber, Amber.
We finished the album today, and I came around the corner, just to celebrate with the band, and stuff so, just for a second, but we're done now Well- - and I'm gonna come right home.
We didn't set a time or anything, so I didn't know-- - you were getting off early, so I've been waiting.
I got off early too.
I've just been waiting.
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- Shh, stop.
- I got you a little one.
I'm sorry, babe.
I'm driving now, though.
I'm fine to drive.
No, no, no, no, no.
- No, no, no, no.
- Amber.
Amber-- - I'm coming home.
Shh, stop, stop, stop! Amber, you are not driving, okay? I'm coming to get you, all right? I'm coming to you.
Don't leave.
Babe, I'm sorry, I-- - oh, hey, excuse me, sir.
Mike, right? No, Doug.
No, no, hey, I'm cr-- oh, sorry.
Crosby.
You own pizza time, right? - No.
- Oh, you don't? Are you going to vote? Yeah, I was trying.
Can I just ask you a quick question? I just need your guidance for one second.
Could you do me a favor? - Yeah.
- Okay, thank you.
Who are you voting for? Bob Little.
Oh, come on, Bob Little? - Yeah.
- Guy's a pervert.
Have you thought about Kristina Braverman? - Oh, come on.
- What don't you like about her? What? She hugs everybody she meets.
She gets phone numbers from half the people she meets.
If she's lonely, she should go on a date.
No, she can't.
She got the violent husband.
Yeah, he's a liability.
Listen, Doug.
Is there any way that I could sway your vote? Shh, come on.
What are you doing? You trying to buy my vote? $20, hard cash, for a Kristina Braverman vote.
What do you say? All right, look.
You really want to do this? - Yeah.
- You're not getting one vote.
You're getting two votes.
Plus one for Braverman.
Minus one for Bob Little.
Your one, plus my one is two.
Two votes is 40 bucks.
Okay, I'll go 40 bucks.
That's logical.
I'm gonna give you the 40 bucks, but you got to get me a sticker.
- Done.
- All right.
Don't forget the sticker.
Braverman.
They'll give you a sticker if you just ask them.
Shh, jeez.
The prettiest girl in this bathroom Oh, you got it! You got the-- hey.
You want to come make the dance happen? Bring it.
Bring it.
I'm not scared.
I'm not scared-- wait, what, what, what, what? I know what's happening.
Okay, so what do you think the over-under is on Rome taking cougar home? That's disgusting.
You all right? I just got into a thing with Ryan, and-- it's my fault.
I was supposed to hang out with him, and I-- I don't know, I feel really bad, 'cause I messed up.
Look, I think that it's probably not your fault.
You're recording on an album with a band.
You're gonna have a good time and hang out.
I thought it was gonna be, like, one drink, and then it turned into-- - when you guys are done cuddling, we can go.
Hey, hey, it's not that.
Let's go.
- You ready? - Are you okay? She's fine.
Take your hands off her, dude.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Hey, hey, chill, chill.
Is this guy giving you trouble? Oliver, stop, stop, stop.
It's fine.
Hey, hey-- - hey, hey, hey! Let go of him! Ryan, let go of him.
Whoa, whoa, chill out, hey.
Hey! Ryan, no.
Stop! Ryan.
Ryan! Ryan, stop it right now! Get off of him, Ryan, please.
Ryan York, get off of him now! Hi, sweetheart.
Oh, Amber.
Oh, honey.
Sorry.
Oh, sweetheart.
No, it's okay, come on.
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
- Come on, sweetheart.
It's all right.
I'm here.
Plotting and planning left and right.
I guess.
I knew Drew was gonna have this, like, cool, hip, young, pretty mom.
- Wow.
Okay - Does Drew know? - I'll give you the money later.
- Oh, please do.
Yeah, you owe me for that.
How long have you guys-- you know? Oh, no, we're just friends.
Yeah.
Oh.
- It's casual.
- Oh.
- Very casual.
- Yeah.
Casual, yeah, sure.
Keeping it casual.
and we're 7,000 votes ahead.
- Good.
- Great.
But Bob Little's districts haven't come in yet.
- Oh.
- Who are you? This is Natalie.
She's my-- - are you boyfriend and girlfriend? - No, we're just friends.
- Um, no.
I just asked my first girl out.
Nice! Good work.
- But then she said no.
- Well, her loss.
- She lives in Minnesota anyway.
- Yeah.
And apparently long-distance relationships are hell.
That's true.
All right.
Talk to you later.
I don't see what the problem is.
You bought a vote? You're damn right I bought a vote.
If she wins by one vote, that's gonna be the best $40 dollars I ever spent.
You can't do that.
How are you so sure he even voted for Kristina? When did you become such a cynic? I saw in this man's eyes he was a trustworthy man.
- Oh, really? - Oh, my goodness.
I mean, he sold his vote, but he was very trustworthy, other than that.
We need to talk.
I would have trusted him with Aida-- hey, Joel.
- Hey, guys.
- How's it going? - We'll be right back.
What number sandwich is that? Three means five, doesn't it? I was trying to deal with Victor, and he's so upset.
- Yes.
- He is so upset and-- - that's the position you wanted to be in.
I feel like you're not there.
I'm not there for Victor? I feel like you're not even there.
I am there for him.
I am there for Sydney.
What more do you want? What about me? I needed you in that moment.
- What about you? - I felt like I was drowning, and I could not get a hold of you, and you're just having casual sushi dinner.
How could you do that to me? How could you do that to me? I could not get a hold of you.
I never would have walked into your office with Leon Dengraff and talked to him that way.
I never would have done that to him.
I never would have done that to you.
Joel, this is not about the work.
I never would have treated him that way.
I never would have treated you that way.
That could have cost me my job, Julia.
- Joel, this is about - Nine years.
I give you nine years.
Victor.
I championed you for nine years, and you can't give me-- you can't give me three months.
This is not about the work.
It's not? This is about a family crisis that is happening right now.
It was about the work when you were working.
It was about the work when you were working, and I was there for you.
I supported you.
We never went through anything like this.
I looked over every deposition you had.
I was there to champion every trial, every trial, Julia.
I'm sharing in your joy on this project, Joel.
Great, it really shows.
But we're going through a family crisis right now.
Okay, okay, well-- - and I feel like you're not there.
Well, I'll be there.
I'll go solve it right now.
Tell Kristina I'm sorry I couldn't be here for you and there for our children.
God.
Okay, so what is the latest? You know, we're hanging in there.
You know, we're down a bit, but it's close, so Okay.
Just waiting for district four to come in.
District four, that's Bob Little country.
Yeah, but your numbers have been getting better there.
When do we expect the district four numbers to come in? You know, any minute.
You got your speeches? Yes, I do.
I've got the winning and I've got the losing.
Heather, what does your gut tell you? You know, my gut tells me that it's close.
Well, that is not helping me right now.
All right, look, Kristina, get some booze.
You know, it'll calm your nerves.
You're gonna need it either way.
And, look, hey, either way, you did great.
Really.
- We're gonna lose.
- Hey.
Did you see that look on her face? Honey, we're going down.
I just think--I think she has a little indigestion.
All right? Don't read too much into this stuff, okay? - I'm just nervous.
- I know.
Let me get you that drink, all right? Okay, honey? Mm.
Okay? Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you all so very much.
I just got off the phone with Bob Little, and I conceded the election to him.
It's a bummer.
It was very close, but he ran a great race, and I think that Bob is going to make an incredible mayor.
I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you so much all of you that have supported me throughout this campaign, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
You know, some of you might not know this, but a year ago, I thought I might not even be here today, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that.
I really didn't know which way things were going to turn out.
And I just want to say how grateful I am that I actually am here, and with your help I'm able to fulfill a dream of mine that I never thought possible.
All of you, I just thank you, and I really want to stay in touch with you.
Most of you have my cell phone number Which is good.
Have a wonderful night, and I love you all.
Thank you.
Good job.
Hi.
I'm proud of you.
You kicked butt.
Hi, it's Caroline Lee from the debate.
- How are you? - Good.
So nice to see you.
Nice to see you, and this is my daughter, Emma, and she wants to tell you something.
Yeah.
She says, "because of you I've moved to a better school "and a better classroom with people who are helping me to learn.
" She says "thank you for changing my life," and mine.
Oh, you've just changed mine.
That means more to me than anything in the whole world.
Thank you, Emma.
Can I give you a hug? Definitely.
Joy to you, baby joy to me too tonight tonight, tonight
Everything's under control.
Is it true that you violently assaulted a man in a supermarket? Bob Little has found a way to go negative.
We're down to the wire.
He can turn this two-point lead to a five-point lead.
Dropped four points.
We're recommending that he move back to the fourth grade for the rest of the year.
I'm sorry, Julia.
No one asked you to go quit your job.
Just like you went and talked to Miss McKindall.
This isn't fair.
Then I'll be in the same grade as Sydney? And what about all my friends? You can do this.
You're a brave boy.
All right.
- Hey, Victor.
- What's up? What's up, Victor? Dude, I heard he flunked.
Ah, look there.
You can do this, buddy.
You know what, we're gonna take a second.
Come on.
Let's go to the bathroom.
Hey, Julia, what's up? - Hey.
- What's happening? Oh, you know - You all right? - Yeah.
Um Today's the day that Victor's changing classrooms.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
He's going down to fourth.
- Yeah.
- I didn't mean down to-- - over to-- yeah, whatever, into fourth.
I'm sorry.
Look, I know it's hard, but It's the best thing for him.
You know, he's got to be where he needs to be.
Yeah.
In the long run, you know.
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry.
Oh, hey.
Oh, you remember ed? Ed, yeah, hey.
- Hi, Joel.
- Uh We got to get this guy to class.
Yeah, sorry.
Okay.
You're in my seat.
- No, I'm not.
- Yes, actually, you are.
This is my chair, this is my desk, and, like, all my stuff.
My dad owns this whole place.
Your dad is Hank? Yes, my dad is Hank.
Which means all this stuff is mine.
It doesn't matter.
You're still in my seat, and I'm swamped.
Whatever.
And you moved my chair.
So what are you, slave labor or something? No, slaves are illegal.
What are you then? I don't have time to talk right now.
I still have two rolls of film to develop, and the 57 bus was late, possibly due to traffic on College Avenue.
Sometimes the traffic gets blocked up, and it affects the bus schedule.
Bus schedules are not precise.
Far from it.
So now I'm ten minutes late, and you just wasted another five.
Hey, you guys met, huh? Ruby, that's Max.
Mmhmm.
She rearranged the stuff on my desk.
He's learning photography.
He's pretty good.
Well, I'm going out for a doughnut, okay? What? No, no, hold on.
Hold on.
If you're going to get doughnuts, then you should probably find out if any of us wants some doughnuts, hmm? - You want a doughnut? - Sure.
Great.
Bye.
Bye.
Couple jelly.
Jelly's gross.
So you met Ruby, huh? She takes a little while to warm up, but How old is she? Let's go, all right? We're late.
We got to get this done.
Yeah, I know.
I was ten minutes late because the bus on 57 was delayed due to-- Yeah, I heard, I heard.
Thank you so much.
Election day is tomorrow.
I'm running.
I'm Kristina Braverman for a better, braver Berkeley.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Hi, guys.
How are you? Can I give you a bumper sticker? She's gonna be the next mayor.
Tell your parents-- - cute! Hi! All right, soup's on.
Who got what? All righty.
Enjoy.
You got 100% organic ground chuck.
What are you gonna make with that? Okay, take a picture.
Thank you.
That was fun.
Yay.
Call me anytime to discuss.
Thank you so much.
I'm gonna give you my phone number.
Thank you very much.
Good luck on the campaign.
Yes, and that is why I'm running.
I want to fight for you.
So let's win this election.
Vote Tuesday, okay? Whoo! Whoo! Breakfast is on me.
No.
Waffles? Every parent in there.
- And those kids were so cute.
- Kristina Braverman? But did you see the parents' faces? They were like-- - hi.
- Hi, how are you? I'm voting for you, so good luck.
Oh, thank you so much.
That's really nice of you.
Oh, are you pregnant? Yes, five months.
- What are you having? - A little girl.
Kristina, let me show you something.
I know you're busy.
Good luck.
Okay, thank you.
Take care.
She was so sweet.
Look at this.
The new polls came in.
We're within 2 1/2 points.
We could do this.
I could win.
- We got work to do.
- Okay.
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 - Vote for Kristina Braverman.
- Hi, there.
- No.
- Kristina Braverman pin? I know Kristina, and she is someone who would truly represent you and your family.
She's smart, she's honest, Hey, guys.
Kristina Braverman pin? For mayor? So please get out and vote tomorrow.
- Oh, I will.
- We need it.
And I'll bring my lazy-ass husband with me, too.
Thank you.
We need his vote too.
You're magic at-- look at you.
- What? - I cannot give these away.
I don't think I could give away a $5 bill.
Well, this is great.
I'm loving this.
Yeah, you're killing it.
Here you go, vote for Kristina.
I don't want to instigate, but you're not offended by this, are you? No, why? Well, the fact that Kristina and Heather sent us here, you know.
I mean, you're the only black person they know, and they sent you to the black neighborhood.
I just think-- No, why- - well, I'm kind of offended for you.
Don't be.
I mean, and I'm an honorary black person, so I'm a little offended.
Honey, you are very, very white.
Whoa, on the spectrum, right, of black and white, Adam's here.
Farrakhan's here.
And where are you? I'm right here.
I'm like 3/4 of the way to-- - well, I guess if you put it that way, on that spectrum, as opposed to your brother, you are not as white as him.
As long as you're not offended - But you're still very white.
- Then I'm No, baby, I'm really not.
I'm really into this.
You know, elections and voting, it really means a lot to me.
I mean, casting my ballot for Obama in '08 was one of the most meaningful things I've ever done.
You know, like, thinking about how far we've come, and that I helped to elect the first black president.
I mean, I never thought that would happen in my lifetime.
I mean, I know you can't really relate to that, but.
Yeah, I can.
- Really? - Totally.
I don't think that was a black-white thing.
I mean, it was really a profound moment.
I got-- It was.
Yeah, when I voted, I got emotional.
I cried.
You did? - Yeah, I cried--yeah.
- I didn't know that, aw.
Like a baby.
Remember when you got your Little sticker? Yeah, I still have it someplace.
- You do? - Yeah, I think so.
- So do I.
- Yeah? Aw.
You're the best.
I love you.
Okay, so the area that you want to bring out more, you let the light on through the hole just a little more.
You just go over it.
So we want that fence to come out.
So we just go up.
Here, you try it.
We just want that light on that fence.
All right.
I have intentions of asking Ruby to be my girlfriend.
What? As the father, I thought you should know.
I mean-- ho, ho, no, Max, uh That's not a good idea.
- Why not? - 'Cause she's my daughter.
I know.
That's how we met.
Why do you even want her as a girlfriend anyway? She was wearing a sharks shirt.
- Yeah.
- I'm a sharks fan.
That means we have common interests.
Also, we're both 14, and I'm a boy, and she's a girl, which means she meets all the requirements.
You know, Max, come on.
First of all, she lives in Minnesota.
She's moody.
You saw what she's like, right? I'm asking her tomorrow.
Hey, what are you doing up here? What does it look like? Well, it looks like you're profiling a serial killer or something.
Have you taken a job with the FBI? Maybe, by accident, I don't know.
This is terrible.
What kind of system is this? I'm so confused.
Oh, this is your Uncle Adam.
He loves anything antiquated.
Paper, steam engines.
I would really love to- - if he could ride a horse to work, he would.
It's really bad.
We should try to move past this.
Well, you're busy.
I was gonna ask you to help me downstairs with something creative and artistic and musical, but that wouldn't interest you.
What? - The case seems to be - What are you talking about? Hot right now, so I hope you find your man.
Crosby! Wait! Here's what's happening.
Tomorrow we have back-up vocalists coming in to record.
Okay, so? We need a scratch track, and that's where you come in.
What? You are going to sing said scratch track.
No, Crosby, no, no, no, no, no.
- Yes, you are.
- No, 'cause I'm not ready.
Opportunities do not come every day, so please.
For what, for taking you home? I don't have--I'm not-- no, no, no, no, no.
Hey, you know the song or not? Yes, you do.
I know it, but I'm not ready.
I have to get my voice warmed up and stuff.
You're gonna be in here for this? Really? Okay, here we go.
Wouldn't I love to hold you again we were so messed up and busy with keeping it in your eyes we're standing for something that I couldn't see but I knew it was coming we're just one crush away I still want you more we could lay here all day I'd still want you more more, more I should have taken you home I should have taken you home I should have taken you home taken you home taken you home taken you home hi.
Hey.
Sorry it's kind of late.
- Yep.
- Hey, bud.
Oh, my gosh, it's such a good day.
How's it going? - Good.
- Good.
Great.
I got dinner for us but I - Oh, that's okay.
- I already ate it.
You can heat it up.
That's okay.
I'm actually not that hungry anyway.
God, I had such a good day.
I recorded a guide vocal track today with the band.
- Cool.
- Yeah, can you believe it? That sounds cool.
And I was really nervous, because, I was, like, having to sing in front of those boys, but it actually went really, really well.
Of course.
So, I don't know, it was good.
I mean, I don't know.
So how about you? How was your day? It was good, I got home early so I ordered your favorite, you know, and I just, I thought we'd have a romantic dinner, but I didn't know you were going to be getting home so late.
Are you mad at me? No, I'm just bummed.
You know, I got all that food and everything.
No, not about that.
I feel like ever since we dealt with the ring - No! - I don't know, like a little distant or-- No, there's nothing about the ring.
We've already dealt with that.
It's fine now, it's-- I know, but I just- it feels like you took it really personally, like I didn't like it.
No, it's not even worth talking about.
I'm happy.
It's great.
I just missed you, that's all.
I just miss you.
Okay.
- I'm not mad.
- Okay, okay.
- I promise.
- Okay.
I promise.
Okay.
I just really missed you, you know.
- I missed you too.
- Mm-hmm.
- Hey.
- What? There was one other thing I wanted to talk to you about real fast.
- What? - Wait, wait.
What? Are you taking those pills again? What? I was doing laundry, and I was putting some of your stuff away, babe, and I saw that they were in there, and I just-- - no.
That's a--I mean, that's an old prescription.
Well, it's from two weeks ago.
Yeah, I know.
I-I-I haven't-- they haven't stopped it, but I-- it's an old prescription from before.
I don't even need it.
Those are anxiety pills that are-- - babe, I--it doesn't bother me if you take them, I just-- I'm not taking them.
- Okay, okay.
- I don't even need them.
I just wanted--it felt like you were hiding it from me, and I want you to know you don't have to.
No, no, I'm not hiding anything from you.
I just didn't want you to be nervous or freak out about it.
Okay.
I love you.
One last try I hope he can sleep.
Yeah, how was he? Stoic.
You got a text from Ed Brooks.
Oh.
You guys have been texting each other a lot lately.
Yeah, sustainability committee is taking over my life.
Do you want some tea? Nope.
I'm good.
Do you have to vote? You don't have to, but you should.
You know, it's your civic responsibility, living in a democracy, which we live in, which is the greatest form of government, 'cause you can tell them what your opinion is.
Let's go ahead, and make your aunt the mayor of this fine city.
- Yeah.
- Hello there, Edie.
Good morning.
How's voter turnout? Looks pretty strong to me.
Pretty strong.
Pretty strong favors our candidate.
- Well, good for you.
- Yeah.
Our candidate is Kristina Braverman.
She's a heck of a candidate.
Are you a Braverman supporter? We're really not supposed to talk about this.
Name, please.
- Crosby Braverman.
- Braverman.
Just like the candidate, Kristina Braverman.
I don't see your name on our list.
Are you sure this is your polling place? Well, I live right up the street, so I-- - well, you should have gotten a postcard with your polling place on it.
Right, this would have to be the place.
It's so close to my house.
How long has it been since you voted? That's not entirely relevant.
If there's a form or something I've got to fill out-- - the voter registration form.
You can't register to vote the day of the election.
Why not? Because it doesn't work that way.
Okay, listen to me.
I am an American citizen who pay my taxes.
My father is a Vietnam vet, and the Bravermans-- - sir, now you are holding up the line.
I'm just-- Kristina Braverman.
If there's another way for me to sort this out, I need to vote.
And I need you to leave.
You are not registered here.
But don't we get to go inside and push all the buttons? Listen, okay, you know what, I wanted to vote privately, but now she has forced us to vote publicly, which is fine.
We'll vote publicly.
So I, Crosby Braverman, vote for Kristina Braverman for mayor.
Me too.
We voted publicly.
You guys witnessed it.
Mark it down, and we'll see you when she wins.
So do you want to be my girlfriend? What? Do you want to be my girlfriend? Um Not gonna happen.
- Why? - Excuse me.
I'm doing something.
Hey, Ruby, come here for a second please.
What? Just be, like, nicer to him.
All right? What? Just Max.
Just cut him a break.
What are you talking about? He's the one-- - I'm just saying be a little bit nicer, that's all.
So be his girlfriend? No, I'm not saying that.
Look, he's not gonna do anything.
He just wants to say he has a girlfriend, that's all.
It's a guy thing.
I mean, you're gonna be in Minnesota, right? So what's the harm really? Oh, don't-- come on.
I can't believe you.
All right, Ruby.
I'm calling mom.
Do not call mom.
Don't call mom.
Bye.
- Victor slammed the door.
- I know.
And he said the "s" word in the car.
I know.
- So no dessert, right? - I don't know.
- Well, that's the rules.
- Sydney.
Hey, buddy, listen-- Victor, what are you doing? - Shut the hell up, Sydney.
- Victor.
Mom, did you just hear what he just said? Victor, stop right now.
Sydney, go to your room right now.
- That's so unfair.
- Sydney, go to your room so I can talk to your brother.
Victor, come here please.
- This is so unfair! - Can you come back here? - You don't even-- - Okay.
Hey.
I know this is hard for you, but it's the best thing for you.
Why, because I'm a 'tard? No.
Don't use that word about yourself, okay, or about anybody.
Why not? It's true.
It's not true, Victor.
Well, Ethan and his asshat friends said it, so it must be true.
Ethan said that? I will talk to the school.
I'll talk to his mother-- That will just make it worse.
Listen, I know this is rough, buddy, but this is-- - it's for the best.
I know, Julia.
You said it a million times.
Can we talk about this, buddy? Why did you say I was smart, when I'm dumb? Sweetheart You're a liar.
Hey, can you stop? Yeah.
'Cause I want to confess to you that I didn't want you to do this.
I didn't think you were ready to handle the stress after cancer, but you You were ready, and I am so proud of you, win or lose.
Kristina, I'm so proud of you.
- Thanks.
- It's crazy.
I know.
I really want this.
I know.
Who is it? Hey.
Hello.
Aah! Oh, my God! You said come in.
How did you get in here? Didn't you say come in? No, I said, "who is it?" Oh, the door was open.
Listen, I need a woman, now.
Uh my daughter's here for a couple of days, so relax.
Oh.
And it's a disaster.
Tears have been shed.
Stuff has been thrown.
Why, what happened? Max asked her to be his girlfriend.
Well, they'll be very happy together.
She's a hottie.
Trying to be funny? Really? Just-- - listen, I know.
I'm sure it's very stressful.
Just tell them they have to use protection.
You know, I come here for advice-- - well, what happened? I don't get what's wrong.
What's wrong? She's not ready for this.
And Max doesn't, you know, he doesn't even know why he wants a girlfriend.
He's just checking stuff off a list.
You're not ready for this.
She's 14 and, you know, it's right around the corner.
She's not ready.
She's not ready, okay? - Okay.
- And by the way, she thinks he's weird, you know.
Of course she does, but what did you say to her? She just, you know, she thinks I'm trying to sell her into prostitution or something.
Oh, my God.
What did you say to her? I told her, why doesn't she just pretend to be his girlfriend, because she's going to Minnesota.
- Oh, my God.
- She's going away.
There's no harm.
There's no foul.
He doesn't know.
That's the worst advice- of course she's upset.
You told her to lie to Max.
To be nice, not lie.
Just be nice.
That's not being nice though.
It teaches her that you lie to get out of a tricky situation, and anyway, for him, you know, he's gonna have to figure out, you don't have a girlfriend just because you say you like her.
She has to like you back.
It's a two-way street.
Oh, you're right.
Oh, girls are the worst.
Huh? I said thanks, yeah.
- Okay.
- Yeah, you're right.
All right.
You should really lock this, okay? There's a weird guy.
I saw a coyote.
Thanks.
Hey, it's me, again.
I know I've called you like five times, but Victor's having a really rough day, and I know you're busy, but I'm having a really rough day, and I just wanted to talk to you, so, you know, if you get a chance, if you get this message, please call me.
Okay, thanks.
Ooh.
- Ah-ha-ha.
- Yeah.
Well, two can play at this game.
Hey.
And you got to king me too, so - Hey.
- Hey.
- Look what I got for you.
- Whoa! Cool, thanks.
Now when you're 18, you'll get to vote too.
It's one of our greatest honors as citizens.
Yeah, I know.
Dad told me.
Oh, really? Good.
You bet.
God bless America.
- That's right.
- Okay, that's a good move.
Wait, mommy, did you vote public or private? - What? - Uh-oh, here we go.
Did you vote public or private? I'm taking this guy.
- What's public or private? - Well, daddy voted public.
He just told the lady at the table who he was voting for.
Oh.
- That's voting public.
- Oh.
The people that go into the booth are voting private.
Isn't that what you said, daddy? I think you're gonna get swamped here if you don't--I may have said something like that.
Something that sounds like-- something like-- - where's your sticker? Yeah, where's your sticker? I should have taken you home yeah, I should have taken you home I should have taken you home taken you home taken you home taken I should have taken-- - you're right.
- Yes.
- We're good.
- Yeah.
- Like - Are you sure? Let's not spend money on a back-up singer.
Absolutely.
'Cause that sounds great, right? - Yeah, she sounds great.
- I'm sorry, what? You sound good.
Wait, you're not saying you're gonna keep that for your album? - Yes.
- Are you serious? Whoa-- are you serious? What the-- you guys are crazy.
Thank you so much.
Oliver, oh, my God.
Don't thank me.
Thank he-man over here.
He just got you in there.
Hey, look.
When it's good it's good, right? Two more songs, we got a record.
Okay, so can we go drink now? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Let's go to the bar.
- To the bar-mobile.
- Yeah, man.
You coming? - To the bar? - Yes.
- Really? - Come on, you're coming.
Yeah, let's go.
Okay.
- Come on, kirk.
- It's Kevin.
- I'm good.
Sorry.
- Have a doughnut.
Eat one.
We've got a lot.
I'm a Boston cream guy.
You never know, he might punch you.
- I'm gonna take one.
- You've seen how violent he is.
I'm gonna pass these out for you.
Kristina, look who showed up.
Hey.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Thank you.
Hi, honey, how are you? Look at you.
- You look good.
- Thank you.
You know you could have voted absentee, you ding-dong.
You didn't have to come all the way out here.
And miss all this? No way, no way.
You know, there's a good chance that I might lose this election, so Honey, you've already won.
I'm so proud of you.
So proud of you.
Thank you for coming.
Let's go vote.
Oh, is it a problem that I'm gonna vote for Bob Little? - That's a great fix.
- Great.
And then, so all we need to do then, is we take the plumbing up through the kitchen to the second floor.
And we can just add the toilets and all that stuff Yeah, we did it! Right over there.
Done.
Have you tried the eel, cause it's insane, isn't it? I'm telling you, it comes from this little hole in the wall.
It's the best Sushi in the bay area.
So, if we have this-- hey.
- Hi.
What are you doing here? Can I talk to you? Where are the kids? Are they-- - they're at my parents'.
Can I talk to you, please? - Nothing's an emergency.
- Nobody's bleeding, but I would like to talk to you, and I've called you five times-- - that's my fault, 'cause I've been turning-- - you know, this is not about you, Peet.
- Julia.
- Okay, I-- - Julia.
- May I talk to you, please? No, no, you're fine.
You're fine, please, stay.
Julia, I'm working right now, and we will talk about this when I get home.
I'll see you whenever that is.
So you're saying you never voted, like, ever.
When you say it like that, it sounds very judgmental.
Do you think you could rephrase it in a less judgmental way? I don't think I can.
What more important thing were you doing other than voting for Barack Obama in 2008, huh? I was incapacitated in Napa during that election.
Oh, Napa? Napa.
What happened to crying? You know, you said you cried like a baby.
You were getting very emotional, and you were talking about your ancestors and stuff No, I wasn't.
And I got sucked up into it a little bit.
You were talking about the 15th Amendment - No, I wasn't.
- And civil rights stuff.
Cut the crap.
Cut the crap.
You wouldn't even vote for your own sister-in-law? What's wrong with you? I tried to.
How? I went down there, and they would not let me.
Now, I was assuming, because we live in a democracy, that I could register day of, and guess what? I can't.
It's not my fault.
I am an upstanding citizen, and I tried.
If she loses by one vote, which happens, it's your fault.
Hey, Max.
Let me talk to you for a minute.
About what? I'm busy working.
You don't got to work right now.
Just stop for a second.
It's okay.
It's my place, right, so I'm the boss.
So I just want to talk to you about Ruby for a second.
She already said she doesn't want to be my girlfriend, so it's done.
Yeah, no.
I know that.
What I wanted to say was having a girlfriend It's more than just being the same age and liking the same hockey team.
It's more than that.
Then what is it about? Yeah, what is it about? It's, um, it's about feeling stuff, you know, like, on the inside.
Making a connection, I guess.
Making each other laugh.
Having conversations.
What if it's hard? Conversations.
Oh, believe me, it's hard for everybody.
Not just you, it's You know, and screw the people that it comes easy to, 'cause that's not real.
Look, me, I didn't have a girlfriend until college, late college.
The point is, it's gonna happen for you, Max.
Trust me.
Guys like us, just got to take time, you know.
Don't need to rush it.
Okay? Okay.
Can I go back to work now? Yeah.
Thanks.
Yeah, sure thing, Max.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Here, here, here.
I also want to say, here's to the best band ever, and let's make some rock 'n roll history.
Oh, hey, we got a new honorary band mate too.
To her.
There you go! Oh, yeah, yeah, no, you're so good, no.
Okay, all right.
- Whoa.
- No, but seriously, you have the voice of an angel, and it's like Come on, hit me, hit me.
Thank you, thank you.
Sing it with me.
I should have taken you home Why are you on the bottom and I'm on the top? Oh, that's a nice way to slip something pervy in there.
- That was good.
- Did you hear that? That was a good combo right there.
I liked it.
What are you talking about? Don't give him any more.
I'm serious.
He's in trouble.
Hang on.
Hello? Oh, my God.
Where have you been? I've been calling and calling.
Hi.
I'm sorry, babe, I totally spaced out, I'm Hey, hey, Amber, Amber.
We finished the album today, and I came around the corner, just to celebrate with the band, and stuff so, just for a second, but we're done now Well- - and I'm gonna come right home.
We didn't set a time or anything, so I didn't know-- - you were getting off early, so I've been waiting.
I got off early too.
I've just been waiting.

I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.

No, no, hey, I'm cr-- oh, sorry.
Crosby.
You own pizza time, right? - No.
- Oh, you don't? Are you going to vote? Yeah, I was trying.
Can I just ask you a quick question? I just need your guidance for one second.
Could you do me a favor? - Yeah.
- Okay, thank you.
Who are you voting for? Bob Little.
Oh, come on, Bob Little? - Yeah.
- Guy's a pervert.
Have you thought about Kristina Braverman? - Oh, come on.
- What don't you like about her? What? She hugs everybody she meets.
She gets phone numbers from half the people she meets.
If she's lonely, she should go on a date.
No, she can't.
She got the violent husband.
Yeah, he's a liability.
Listen, Doug.
Is there any way that I could sway your vote? Shh, come on.
What are you doing? You trying to buy my vote? $20, hard cash, for a Kristina Braverman vote.
What do you say? All right, look.
You really want to do this? - Yeah.
- You're not getting one vote.
You're getting two votes.
Plus one for Braverman.
Minus one for Bob Little.
Your one, plus my one is two.
Two votes is 40 bucks.
Okay, I'll go 40 bucks.
That's logical.
I'm gonna give you the 40 bucks, but you got to get me a sticker.
- Done.
- All right.
Don't forget the sticker.
Braverman.
They'll give you a sticker if you just ask them.
Shh, jeez.
The prettiest girl in this bathroom Oh, you got it! You got the-- hey.
You want to come make the dance happen? Bring it.
Bring it.
I'm not scared.
I'm not scared-- wait, what, what, what, what? I know what's happening.
Okay, so what do you think the over-under is on Rome taking cougar home? That's disgusting.
You all right? I just got into a thing with Ryan, and-- it's my fault.
I was supposed to hang out with him, and I-- I don't know, I feel really bad, 'cause I messed up.
Look, I think that it's probably not your fault.
You're recording on an album with a band.
You're gonna have a good time and hang out.
I thought it was gonna be, like, one drink, and then it turned into-- - when you guys are done cuddling, we can go.
Hey, hey, it's not that.
Let's go.
- You ready? - Are you okay? She's fine.
Take your hands off her, dude.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Hey, hey, chill, chill.
Is this guy giving you trouble? Oliver, stop, stop, stop.
It's fine.
Hey, hey-- - hey, hey, hey! Let go of him! Ryan, let go of him.
Whoa, whoa, chill out, hey.
Hey! Ryan, no.
Stop! Ryan.
Ryan! Ryan, stop it right now! Get off of him, Ryan, please.
Ryan York, get off of him now! Hi, sweetheart.
Oh, Amber.
Oh, honey.
Sorry.
Oh, sweetheart.
No, it's okay, come on.
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
- Come on, sweetheart.
It's all right.
I'm here.
Plotting and planning left and right.
I guess.
I knew Drew was gonna have this, like, cool, hip, young, pretty mom.
- Wow.
Okay - Does Drew know? - I'll give you the money later.
- Oh, please do.
Yeah, you owe me for that.
How long have you guys-- you know? Oh, no, we're just friends.
Yeah.
Oh.
- It's casual.
- Oh.
- Very casual.
- Yeah.
Casual, yeah, sure.
Keeping it casual.
and we're 7,000 votes ahead.
- Good.
- Great.
But Bob Little's districts haven't come in yet.
- Oh.
- Who are you? This is Natalie.
She's my-- - are you boyfriend and girlfriend? - No, we're just friends.
- Um, no.
I just asked my first girl out.
Nice! Good work.
- But then she said no.
- Well, her loss.
- She lives in Minnesota anyway.
- Yeah.
And apparently long-distance relationships are hell.
That's true.
All right.
Talk to you later.
I don't see what the problem is.
You bought a vote? You're damn right I bought a vote.
If she wins by one vote, that's gonna be the best $40 dollars I ever spent.
You can't do that.
How are you so sure he even voted for Kristina? When did you become such a cynic? I saw in this man's eyes he was a trustworthy man.
- Oh, really? - Oh, my goodness.
I mean, he sold his vote, but he was very trustworthy, other than that.
We need to talk.
I would have trusted him with Aida-- hey, Joel.
- Hey, guys.
- How's it going? - We'll be right back.
What number sandwich is that? Three means five, doesn't it? I was trying to deal with Victor, and he's so upset.
- Yes.
- He is so upset and-- - that's the position you wanted to be in.
I feel like you're not there.
I'm not there for Victor? I feel like you're not even there.
I am there for him.
I am there for Sydney.
What more do you want? What about me? I needed you in that moment.
- What about you? - I felt like I was drowning, and I could not get a hold of you, and you're just having casual sushi dinner.
How could you do that to me? How could you do that to me? I could not get a hold of you.
I never would have walked into your office with Leon Dengraff and talked to him that way.
I never would have done that to him.
I never would have done that to you.
Joel, this is not about the work.
I never would have treated him that way.
I never would have treated you that way.
That could have cost me my job, Julia.
- Joel, this is about - Nine years.
I give you nine years.
Victor.
I championed you for nine years, and you can't give me-- you can't give me three months.
This is not about the work.
It's not? This is about a family crisis that is happening right now.
It was about the work when you were working.
It was about the work when you were working, and I was there for you.
I supported you.
We never went through anything like this.
I looked over every deposition you had.
I was there to champion every trial, every trial, Julia.
I'm sharing in your joy on this project, Joel.
Great, it really shows.
But we're going through a family crisis right now.
Okay, okay, well-- - and I feel like you're not there.
Well, I'll be there.
I'll go solve it right now.
Tell Kristina I'm sorry I couldn't be here for you and there for our children.
God.
Okay, so what is the latest? You know, we're hanging in there.
You know, we're down a bit, but it's close, so Okay.
Just waiting for district four to come in.
District four, that's Bob Little country.
Yeah, but your numbers have been getting better there.
When do we expect the district four numbers to come in? You know, any minute.
You got your speeches? Yes, I do.
I've got the winning and I've got the losing.
Heather, what does your gut tell you? You know, my gut tells me that it's close.
Well, that is not helping me right now.
All right, look, Kristina, get some booze.
You know, it'll calm your nerves.
You're gonna need it either way.
And, look, hey, either way, you did great.
Really.
- We're gonna lose.
- Hey.
Did you see that look on her face? Honey, we're going down.
I just think--I think she has a little indigestion.
All right? Don't read too much into this stuff, okay? - I'm just nervous.
- I know.
Let me get you that drink, all right? Okay, honey? Mm.
Okay? Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you all so very much.
I just got off the phone with Bob Little, and I conceded the election to him.
It's a bummer.
It was very close, but he ran a great race, and I think that Bob is going to make an incredible mayor.
I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you so much all of you that have supported me throughout this campaign, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
You know, some of you might not know this, but a year ago, I thought I might not even be here today, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that.
I really didn't know which way things were going to turn out.
And I just want to say how grateful I am that I actually am here, and with your help I'm able to fulfill a dream of mine that I never thought possible.
All of you, I just thank you, and I really want to stay in touch with you.
Most of you have my cell phone number Which is good.
Have a wonderful night, and I love you all.
Thank you.
Good job.
Hi.
I'm proud of you.
You kicked butt.
Hi, it's Caroline Lee from the debate.
- How are you? - Good.
So nice to see you.
Nice to see you, and this is my daughter, Emma, and she wants to tell you something.
Yeah.
She says, "because of you I've moved to a better school "and a better classroom with people who are helping me to learn.
" She says "thank you for changing my life," and mine.
Oh, you've just changed mine.
That means more to me than anything in the whole world.
Thank you, Emma.
Can I give you a hug? Definitely.
Joy to you, baby joy to me too tonight tonight, tonight
