Parenthood s05e10 Episode Script

You got a text from Ed Brooks.
You guys have been texting each other a lot lately.
What are you doin' here? I called you five times.
And I've texted you.
That's my fault.
This is not about you, Peet! Julia, we will talk about this when I get home.
Are you taking those-- those pills again? It's an old prescription from before.
I don't even need it.
It felt like you were hiding it from me.
I'm not hiding anything from you.
- Are you okay? - She's fine.
Take your hands off her, dude.
Ryan, stop! I just got off the phone with Bob Little, and I conceded the election.
Talking about the win of Bob Little over Kristina Braverman.
It was a very close race.
Yes, it was, Mike.
Mmm.
So good.
That's the good thing about losing.
More cake for us.
- Kristina.
- What? What? You don't have to keep it together.
You're not in a room full of campaign workers.
It's just me.
Honey, I'm fine.
I'm totally fine.
I didn't know how much this campaign was-- - okay, all right, well, maybe I'm not fine.
I mean, I personally would like to take a sledgehammer to a Bob Little cake right about now.
I mean, look.
That campaign took a lot out of me, honey.
I'm excited to have my life back, be with the kids.
I get to cook again.
It's fine.
Dig in.
Congratulations, ma Braverman.
- Exactly, ma Braverman.
- Bob Little's being interviewed on the news again.
Okay, Max.
Why don't we turn the TV off? He called mom "a worthy opponent" on channels 2, 4, 6 and 7.
- Hey, buddy - And she is.
If you turn off the TV, I'll give you a fork.
- You think this is a good idea? - Yeah, it's fine.
- It's a lot of sugar.
- No plate.
- It is not unlimited cake.
- No nothing.
Just dig right in.
Okay, take it easy.
Can you take it easy on your mother's face, please? - Dig right in.
- Wow.
Honey, look how crazy this looks.
I'll get you, Bob Little! Oh, yeah.
You like that? Oh, yeah? Stop it! You stop! Stop! - Freezing in here.
- Hi.
Oh, there you are.
Finally! Hi.
Mrs.
Deitchman, I got your messages about the heat.
I'm so sorry.
He's gonna be here first thing in the morning to fix it.
- First thing in the morning? - Oh, no, no, no.
How are we gonna survive the night? Uh, uh, extra blanket? - It's freezing.
We need heat.
- I understand.
I mean, it's California.
Come on, guys.
We can all just huddle up under a blanket.
- I'm freezing.
- This is ridiculous.
- I'm not a young woman anymore.
- She's not taking us seriously.
I am taking you seriously.
I need you to look at something in my apartment.
- I know about the heat, Carl.
- Excuse me.
It's not about that.
Now, please.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I've got another problem.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Please tell me that pipe has not burst.
Please.
What is going wrong in here? Plumbing again? No problem in here.
Yeah, the problem's out there.
Oh.
It's warm in here.
Why is it warm in here? Well, the thing is we live two blocks from a drugstore, and yet it takes a genius to go down there and buy a few space heaters.
Hmm.
Well, I don't know about genius, but-- - and I have wine which I got at the wine store next to the drugstore.
Saved you from an angry mob, and That was genius.
Why don't you have a glass with me? Oh, that's okay.
It's late, but thank you.
Or you can just talk to Mrs.
Deitchman in the hallway.
Maybe just one.
Hey.
What if the kids come downstairs? I don't want them to know that we're fighting.
I'll tell them I fell asleep watching TV or something.
Okay.
Joel.
Babe, this is not what we do.
This is not us-- not making up, sleeping on the couch.
Look, I'm really sorry That I barged in on you And that I spoke to Peet that way.
I should not have done that.
But I Joel, I don't want to spend the night like this.
It scares me.
Babe.
We have to try to fix this.
For the kids.
For us.
Okay.
We'll try.
Okay.
I bet Mrs.
Deitchman is still waiting out there in the hallway.
Poor Gladys.
You know what? She's kind of mistaking Berkeley for Nagqu.
Where? Nagqu.
Uh, it's in Tibet.
Did some work there, and it gets freezing, but you adjust, and You adjust.
Do you? "You adjust," says the man with the ten space heaters.
Adjusting to the nice, cozy, cozy warmth.
It's nice the way they swivel, though.
You know, you're not You're no longer my most annoying tenant.
- Not possible.
- No, no.
You've been dethroned by Mrs.
Deitchman.
That's not fair.
Mrs.
Deitchman has multiple pets in a cat-free building.
- Ah, LA, LA, LA - Yeah, I told you I do not know about the cats.
LA, LA, LA-- - uh-oh.
Oh, you're kidding me! Yeah, it's official.
- What? - You're a slumlord now.
No, I had nothing to do with this.
This has to be because of the heaters.
- No.
- This has got to be specific to your apartment.
I don't know how that can be possible.
The whole building is not out.
Listen, just knock off I'll go flip the breaker.
Excuse me, I'll flip the breaker.
- Okay, super.
- Yeah.
- Go ahead, flip the breaker.
- Okay.
I mean, you know where it is, right? I know where the breaker is in this apartment.
It's, uh 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 Hey.
Hey.
Oh, my God, Zack.
It's okay.
You should see the other guy.
I'm fine, by the way.
And make sure you tell G.
I.
What's-his-ass-- tell him he cost us a week in the studio.
- Oh, God, I'm sorry.
- A week in the studio.
And that's just my money going to waste.
I'm sorry, Oliver.
Yeah, apparently, you can't drum without, you know, two hands.
I don't even know what to say.
I'm so sorry.
- Amber.
- It's okay.
Crosby and I want to see you up in the office.
It's all right.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Drew.
Can I ask you a loaded question? Yeah, what's up? What's your deal with Natalie? - What do you mean? - Well, I have some information.
But first, I've got to know what your deal is so I know how to deliver it.
Um, I mean, she's my-- my friend.
We're friends.
What do you mean? What's the information? Well, dude, if she's your girlfriend, it's not good.
Oh, well, she's not.
So what's up? Look, it's just that last night, I saw her mackin' on some other dude at Zeta Gamma Pi.
Oh, dude.
You're not bumming, are you? No.
I hope you're not pissed I told you.
I just felt like I needed to be a bro here.
Yeah.
Thanks, um Thanks for bein' a bro and all that.
Anytime, hombre.
Anytime.
We're not really dating.
We're kind of like friends with benefits, you know? Hmm.
No harm in that, man.
Just make sure that next time you hit that, you wear a condom.
'Cause she is givin' benefits to all her friends.
Um, well, thank you, Berto, for tellin' me that.
I just--I really want to say one thing.
Okay.
I totally understand how serious this is and the consequences, and I will clear out my desk if I'm fired.
I won't make a problem out of it or anything-- - we're not-- we're not firing you.
But you're right, this is serious.
And we're lucky that the band didn't press charges.
Thank God.
Thank you, guys.
I'm sorry.
Amber, are--are you okay? I mean, yeah, I'm fine.
Because, you know, has he ever gotten violent with you? Oh, my God, no.
- Because that-- - No, you guys.
He's not like that at all.
He would never, ever do that.
- We didn't think so, all right? - Never.
But just we're saying that if that ever does happen, you have to tell us.
Of course.
You've got to promise us.
Tell us, or you tell your mom.
Of course, but I-- but he would never do that.
He's--he's a really good guy.
All right, Amber.
Listen, we like the guy.
But until this blows over, Ryan doesn't come to the luncheonette.
- I understand.
- Okay.
Did you tell your mom about it? Um Not yet.
- But you're going to.
- Yeah, I will, I promise.
Good.
Hey.
Hey.
You seriously are the most efficient person I've ever met in my entire life.
Now, I just didn't want you to have to look at all this junk.
Oh, it's okay.
I'm actually feelin' pretty good, you know? - Yeah? - Considering.
Well, I'm pissed.
I am.
You know, we came close and our message got out there, and I feel like Yeah, yeah.
You know, we got a lot of attention for education.
That was good.
But we didn't win.
So--and you know? I've worked for several candidates, and you always want your person to win.
But this one stung, I swear.
And it's--it's that you would have made an amazing mayor.
You really would've.
Yeah.
You know what? I would have.
I would've made a damn good mayor.
You'd have made the best.
Well, what else can I help you with? Anything? Nothing.
I mean, I pretty much got everything.
I guess all that's left is the hugging.
Yeah.
Thank you.
It was a real pleasure.
Stop the hitting.
Can you--I'm-- - you're ridiculous.
- Guys.
- Dad! - Hey! - Hi.
- How are you guys? - It's pizza night? What are you doing home so early? Oh, you know.
I-- - did you quit your job like mom did? No, bug, I didn't quit my job.
I just decided to come home a little early so we could, uh, make pizza together.
Now, who wants to pick out the first toppings? - I do.
- All right.
Hands need to be washed first.
These savages.
This is really nice.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
All right.
So what do we want on this thing? - I want cheese - Pineapple and tomatoes.
- And some of these peppers.
- And those red things.
Uh, well we'll just have to split it down the middle.
Hi-yah! And that's gonna be a delicious pie.
All right, let's do this.
Hey.
Hi.
Uh I thought you were-- I thought you were gonna be at work.
I didn't go in.
I called in sick.
It's pretty much true.
I'm--I haven't eaten all day.
I'm going crazy here.
I'm wondering what we're doing.
I don't know.
What do you mean, you don't know? I don't know.
I haven't I had a very intense day trying to pick up the pieces of this.
I'm sorry.
You know, I've been at work all day at my dream job that I worked really hard to get Defending you, and You know, we're losing money because of what you did to Zack.
He's so messed up, he can't even play.
Tell your uncles I'll pay them back every penny.
It doesn't matter.
It's not about that.
I'll go in there and apologize and take all the blame for it.
No, don't.
You can't! You can't go in there.
They don't-- they don't even want to see you.
They don't even want you to come there after you What about us? I don't know.
I don't know what to do.
Well I love you.
I love you, too.
And This is the problem.
This is the problem.
I can't keep overlooking the things that are happening in the real world just because I love you so much.
I can't.
It's been perfect.
Things have been perfect.
Things have been perfect? - They have been.
- Ryan.
- What? - You know, you do this thing where you-- you disconnect from me, and I--and I let it go.
- What are you talking about? - The thing with the pills.
You know, you--you lied.
You lied to my face about taking those pills.
No, I didn't.
There was nothing to say - Yes, you did! You did lie.
- What do you mean? What was it, a doctor gave you the prescription, but you weren't-- He gave me those pills, and I don't want to take them.
So you're not taking them.
You can't even tell me.
You don't even trust me enough to tell me the truth.
The truth-- the truth is they're-- they're pills that are-- were given to me for-- for anxiety.
I didn't even want them.
And I took-- I took two today.
See? This is the thing! It's not about whether or not you take the pills! It's about the fact that you don't trust me enough to be honest with me I do trust you.
And tell me! I'm your partner.
I'm not hiding anything.
I'm just having a hard time! Do you understand? Well, so am I! I'm having a hard time, and I feel alone, because I can't find you! So I need some time to think about whether or not this is gonna work in the real world.
Period! Okay? So that's it? I mean Sarah.
- Hi.
- Hey.
I was just comin' in from outside.
Really? 'Cause it looked like you were goin' out, and then you saw me, and you went back in.
No, no, no.
I-I-- well, you're right.
I was--I was coming out, and then I forgot something, so I'm just gonna go back inside and get the thing I forgot.
Back in, I'm gonna come back out.
You know, in and out.
Okay.
I'm so glad we cleared that up.
- Yeah, so goin' in.
- You're goin' in.
Yeah, dying for coffee.
Bye, Carl! Do you want to have coffee and talk--later.
I'm trying to study, Natalie.
I'm bored.
Well, I'm sure that there's a frat party or something that you could go to, so What? What was that comment? Nothing.
Did you have fun the other night at zeta gamma pi? Whatever that was.
Oh.
Were you there? No.
No, I was not at a frat party.
I was watching house hunters or something with those-- those girls down the hall.
Did you hook up with any of 'em? No, we were watching house hunters.
I mean, you could've if you wanted to.
Like, really.
Wouldn't bother me.
Okay.
I'm very confused.
I was under the impression that it was just us hanging out.
Or hanging out, whatever.
Drew, you're so sweet.
Frankly, sweet just starts to get boring.
- I wasn't bored, but - Hey, come on.
I'm offering you no-strings-attached noncommittal sex here.
It's like Christmas come early.
So you think about that.
Let me know if you still want to be sweet.
All right.
Where are they? Right here? Yeah.
All right.
Snug as a bug in a rug.
- Night.
- Love you.
- Night, sweetie.
- Can we get a pool? Uh, no.
We can't.
How come? Well, because California building code would make it a paperwork nightmare.
- Oh.
- Okay? Well, Charlotte's getting a pool.
She's going to have two houses now.
Her mommy's gonna live in one, and her dad's gonna live in the other.
Her dad's house is gonna have a pool.
So can we go swimming there? Sweetie, let's--let's talk about this tomorrow, all right? Love you.
Sweet dreams.
I didn't have any idea that ed was separating.
Okay.
I gotta get Victor to bed.
Okay.
At least that guy's not gonna press charges.
Oh, there you go.
That's a good thing.
Yeah, I guess.
I mean, it doesn't change the fact that Amber still saw me lose it on him, you know? I just couldn't take it, zeek.
It was like every time I came around, he's taunting me.
They're baiting me, you know? And then they're standing there like they've just created a miracle because they've recorded some song, like it's the most important thing in the world.
That kid has no idea what's important.
You know? What's really important.
Yeah.
Yeah, I remember when I got back.
It was, uh, always funny to me how people got all twisted up about stuff that didn't matter.
Wasn't important.
Well, you know, what happened, though, was important to Amber.
Yeah, I mean, that's the worst part of it, I-- I let her down, and, uh I don't know, maybe Sarah's right.
Maybe I'm not good enough for her.
Well, Amber's her baby.
There's never gonna be anybody that's good enough to marry her baby.
Yeah.
What about you? What do you think? I think you guys made the decision to get married.
I think that's a good thing.
I think you're trying.
That's the most important thing.
God, I'm trying so hard.
And that's the thing, is, like, as much as I'm trying here It makes me just think, "screw it," you know? Screw this life.
And then I--then I go back.
I think about Amber.
Wait, hold it, hold it.
What are you talkin' about? Are you talkin' about-- No, no.
No.
No, I'm saying screw this civilian life, this--this--trying to do this.
You know, zeek, I hated Afghanistan, you know? I hated it.
But at least there, everything makes sense, you know? Like everything.
Everything there, like, mattered, you know? It's important.
And then it's like-- I feel like I can't get my-- my mind off of that place.
I just can't disconnect from over there, you know? It's like I can't-- I can't shake it.
I just feel out of sync here still.
I feel--I just-- - well, you're gonna have to decide which world you belong in, son.
It's, uh--it's hard.
Hmm.
This is so nice, honey.
Mmhmm.
You know, just the three of us at the park? We haven't done this in so long.
Yeah, it's been a long time.
What have you got there, Nora? There she goes.
- What's in there? - What about work, though? Are you gonna get in trouble? I think work can wait for family time.
- Good.
- Yeah.
Hey, excuse me.
I don't mean to interrupt this.
Just--aren't you that woman who's running for mayor? Um, I'm Kristina Braverman.
Yes, I was.
Hi.
Well, this is quite the celebrity sighting here in our little sandbox.
Well, I don't know about that, but-- - actually, this is perfect.
The timing.
I don't know if you know this, but our slide over there has been, like, cracked and messed up forever.
It's got duct tape on it.
It's really a hazard, and so, I mean, would it be totally unethical of me to promise you my vote if you could agree to get it fixed? My oldest daughter, she just loves the slide, so Oh, well, I--the election was a couple days ago, and I lost, so - Oh, I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
It's awkward.
No, it's okay.
It's okay.
It was a close race.
Kind of a low voter turnout, though.
Not a lot of concerned citizens.
Right.
Uh, so now that you've lost, what are you gonna-- what are you gonna do? What's next? We are gonna build some sand castles with our daughter.
Sure.
Got it.
Well, if you could do something about the slide, that would-- that would be really great because, you know, your daughter could get hurt on that thing, so - What was that? - I don't know.
What am I supposed to do, duct tape it? You got to fix that slide.
You got to fix-- she has to fix that slide.
Somebody could get hurt, okay? It could be your daughter.
This is serious.
Stop it.
The thing is that I like her, but she's completely open about, like, hooking up with other guys, which feels very weird saying in front of the baby.
It's fine? Oh, hooking up? She can't retain anything.
They don't hear? - I don't think, I hope.
- Well, she still wants to hook up with me, though, also.
Ooh, that's-- well, that's good.
And it's--it's-- this is bad timing? The baby and all? No, no, no.
I just--I have to bounce.
If don't bounce, she'll wake up, and then we can't talk about your girl problem, which so far doesn't really sound like a problem.
- Yeah, I know.
- You don't like hooking up, or I know.
I don't know what the problem is.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
Well, there's nothing wrong with you.
- Yeah.
For sure.
- No, no, no.
There's nothing wrong with you.
Do you want to have this conversation over a beer? I feel like-- first of all, am I allowed to give you a beer? - It's, like, 9:00 though.
- It's 9:00? I've been up since 5:00, so it kinda felt like it was noon.
It doesn't matter.
Listen, I think what's going on is that you're a one-woman guy.
That's just who you are, you know? Yeah, I just tell her that? No, no, don't tell her that.
I'm identifying what type of person you are currently, which is not to say that you can't evolve into some other type of person.
Like me.
I used to be like Natalie, you know, playin' it fast and loose, spreadin' it real thin.
Liberated, whatever.
Now, I have someone that I love that I think is perfect, and I'm happy as a clam.
So I changed.
Right? I mean, she could change, I guess.
No, no, no, Drew.
You're me in this metaphor, but backwards.
- I don't get it.
- You're upside down.
Inverted.
I don't--I'm confused.
You're not loosey-goosey, but maybe you'll learn to-- listen.
Okay, I'm gonna lay it out there, and if you tell your mother I told you this, I'm just gonna deny it.
And then it's gonna be your word against mine, and I have a lot more history with her.
You are young.
This is your one opportunity.
Do you understand what I'm saying? Sleep around.
Have some experiences, you know? Get good at your craft 'cause when it ends, it's gonna end permanently.
You hear me? The brakes don't just fade in.
They lock up.
You know when the last time I had sex was? No.
Do the math backwards from this one.
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
So you feel--you feel better? - Yeah, I feel--all right.
- Okay.
So enjoy yourself.
Enjoy your freedom.
Enjoy your youth.
Yeah, comin'.
We can't sleep together again.
- Well, hello to you too.
- Hello.
We can't sleep together again.
- Was I offering? - No, but you will, and I just want to clear it up before it happens.
We can't sleep together again.
Okay? Thank you.
Okay.
Sarah, wait.
Hang on.
I'm not sure what's goin' on here, but it was a lovely evening.
I had a lovely time, and I'm not sure why you're being so guarded, but-- - I'm--listen.
It--okay, yeah.
It was a lovely evening, okay? But I'm 42 years old.
I can't just be going around having lovely evenings, okay? I need to be focusing on myself and on my career and, you know, yes, someday, maybe I will find a guy who is age-appropriate, who isn't crazy, who doesn't have substance-abuse problems, and socially not awkward.
And you're some of those things, but it's not about you.
Well, good, 'cause I'm age appropriate.
So I got that.
Okay, well, I'm trying to set a boundary, and so here it is.
Respect it, and--okay? - Okay.
- Okay.
Okay.
Oh, my God I've gone too far The cause was mine I know all my faults you saw all my faults did you hear my cries As you watched me fall but you paid no mind to my I'm just tired and oh are you faithful Come on in! Hey, Julia.
Hey.
Oh.
Uh, I'm movin' out for a while.
- Yeah, I heard.
- Colleen thought it would be easier to sort things out this way.
Actually, I think she's more interested in sorting out how quickly she can find a divorce attorney.
You know a good one? Sorry.
That's a bad joke.
I haven't really been sleeping this week.
Ed, um, I need you to stop calling me and the emails and - What? - It's just-- it's inappropriate.
It's not fair to Joel.
And to me.
Wow.
You came here in person to tell me that.
Wow, that just is the cherry on top of an awesome week.
Actually, I wanted to ask you something else that I didn't feel I could really ask you over the phone.
So I can't call you, but you can come over here to ask me something? No, it's okay.
Go ahead.
I'd love to hear what you want to ask.
All of this? This is not My fault, is it? My marriage is falling apart because I lost who I was a long time ago.
And I couldn't figure out how to make myself happy.
But pretending you're happy is almost worse than Being miserable.
- I'm sorry.
- No, it's okay.
I'm actually okay with Being miserable for a while.
At least if you're honest about it, you can, you know, wallow in it a little bit.
So that's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna go back to my tiny little divorced dad apartment, and I'm gonna get this big old man chair that Colleen would never let me get.
I'm gonna sit, and I'm gonna wallow in the bittersweet melancholy of waking up one day and realizing that your life didn't turn out the way you planned.
But that's not what you asked.
No, Julia, you're not the reason that my marriage is falling apart.
I'm so sorry you're going through all of this.
It'll be okay.
You're gonna be okay too.
Julia-- - all right, I gave the Booty call thing, whatever we want to call it, a consideration, and I think that we should do it.
Okay, but I want to have rules, all right? - Rules? - Yes.
I'm pretty rules violates the spirit of the spontaneous Booty call.
Okay, I need rules.
They're for me.
Okay.
Because I do not want to go to some frat party and see you making out with some guy.
It'd be very awkward.
Okay, true.
I hear that, but when do you ever go to any frat party, like, ever? Okay.
All right, thank you.
That was rude, but we'll continue.
No, it wasn't rude.
It was true.
Frat parties are your zone, okay.
That's where you can go do whatever you want to do.
All right? All right, my zone.
- Yes.
- So what's your zone? Mine's It's to be determined, all right? - It's so weird.
- Yes, this is very weird, but, you know, you wanted this free-spirited thing, and I just need rules.
Maybe this isn't a good idea.
Maybe it's not.
Um, but maybe we should just try it.
Maybe we should be just friends.
Like just friends.
No benefits.
That's not what I'm saying.
I don't want to do that.
It doesn't seem like that's what you want either.
No.
I mean, I really like you.
And you like me too.
Yeah, I do like you.
It's just not enough? I'm really sorry.
I-I thought we were just, like Fooling around and having fun.
I wasn't trying to hurt you with it.
It wasn't my intention.
Okay, I'm gonna leave.
So you can be furious with me in private.
But just don't be mad for too long.
I'd really miss being your friend.
