Parenthood s05e18 Episode Script

Oh, hey, Drew.
You looking for Natalie? - She's in here.
- I can stay here.
And you're still gonna go to school and stuff? Yeah, yeah.
The kids at school are starting to notice that Max has his differences, and he's all alone and helpless.
I'm their real-estate agent, Karen.
We are gonna get your parents' house ready to sell.
We're shuttling our kids back and forth with these little roller suitcases.
The therapist told us we have to set up a routine and be consistent with the schedule.
I have this job for surfsport, and so I wondered if we could do the job together.
- Just like we used to? - Except that I'm the boss.
Yeah.
Are you able to tell Sarah how you feel about her? I think it's good.
It is.
It's good.
Send it.
But I don't know.
I feel like we should open it up one more time.
No, no, no, no, no.
Just look at it one more time.
Just stop second-guessing yourself.
It's good.
Send it.
Yeah, but I want it to be perfect.
Hit "send.
" It's perfect.
No, you said that nothing's ever perfect.
You said that, and now, oh-- - nothing until now.
- Now you're saying-- - come on, we've been over this.
We've seen everything.
It's--it's over, all right? The fat lady is taking a bath right now.
How about this letter? Maybe it should be a little-- oh, oh.
Congratulations.
You just sent your first major project.
All righty.
I got the rest of your toiletries, buddy.
Don't forget to brush.
Okay.
Honey, why are you bringing your boots? It's gonna be, like, Yeah, well, I'm still gonna need them because after visiting sutter's mill, my class is going to be panning for gold on the Southern fork of the American river.
Oh.
The river's been mostly stripped clean since the gold rush era, so I don't expect to find anything, but many tourists still enjoy trying.
All righty.
I'm not gonna enjoy trying if my feet are wet and cold, so I'm taking my boots.
I got you 100%.
Well, you can put them in my bag.
No, I can't put them in your bag.
Yeah, you can.
I have tons of room.
No, I can't because your bag isn't going.
Honey, of course my bag is going.
I'm not gonna walk around with no clothes.
No, I don't want you to chaperone.
And so it doesn't make sense for your bag to go if you're not going.
Wait.
What--honey, I'm-- - I wish I was still friends with Micah.
He gets to take an extra bag because of his wheelchair.
Okay, can you stop for a second? Why don't you want me to chaperone? I don't know.
I just don't.
Okay.
I'm gonna have to wear these on the bus.
- Thank you, Berkeley.
- So sweet.
Oh, man, that was What is that? I don't know.
- Drew, it's beautiful.
- Thank you.
I'll be sure to tell the neighbor who was singing that that you said that.
- How you doing? - Fine.
Good.
- No, I'm-- - Are you stoned? - No, I'm not.
- You're not? You're not stoned? This was just hanging out here? Hey, you said that it was in the freezer.
Unbelievable.
Yes, I know where it is.
Drew, I don't care, but I mean, it's-- it's, like, 11:30 in the morning.
Yeah, it's-- I'm definitely feeling tired.
It's, like, really that bad? We're at, like, defcon wake-and-bake? - What? - This dramatic situation? - Oh, my God.
- What? I'm fine.
I'm fi--I'm doing good.
Why are you here, by the way? Why am I here? I live here.
You used to work right now.
You used to go to school right now.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- Ha ha.
- Got you.
I've been not going to some of the classes that I have with Natalie.
Yeah, I am aware, which is-- must be, like, every class 'cause I haven't seen you leave the apartment.
There is a class that I take that she's not in.
- One class? - Yes, one class.
Aren't you worried they're gonna kick you out? No, they'll--it's fine.
I'm gonna go to the class.
I just don't want to see you, like, throw away your entire-- - actually, you're right.
I'll go to the class right now.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
No, talk to me about it, though.
You're bummed about this girl? Yes.
I'm ups-yeah, but-- - let's talk about it.
- It's fine.
No, you're right.
I'm acting dumb.
- You're not.
- I got to go to class.
- Drew.
- I need to be at class.
I'm gonna be late.
You're not going to class.
You're just trying to avoid me.
I'm gonna eat.
I mean, I'm gonna go to class after I eat, though.
Yeah, okay.
See you later.
Useless.
Blue 68! Tickle party! Hut, hut, hike! Hoo.
Ooh! Diving catch! T.
D.
! Touchdown.
- Hello.
- Oh, yeah, just let yourself in.
I did knock.
- Oh, I-- - Hi, how are you doing? - Mom, dad! - Who are you? I'm the woman who's gonna make your grandparents' day.
Jeez, what's all the yelling about down there? Ay, yi, yi, dad, you got to put something else on.
You're gonna scare the baby.
Well, what the hell do you want from me? I couldn't find my pants.
They weren't in the drawer.
Hey, Camille.
Where the hell are my pants? They're in the dryer.
I told you.
- They're in the dryer.
- Oh, hello.
Hello, hi.
Hopefully this isn't a bad time? No.
No, not at all.
We weren't doing anything.
Zeek, put on some pants.
She doesn't care if I'm not in pants.
Do you? I don't care.
If grandpa doesn't have to wear pants, I don't want to wear pants either.
- Oh, boy.
- You know what? No one needs pants-- it's fine-- not for this amazing news.
I found the perfect buyer for this place.
Oh.
- We're not even on the market.
- I know.
But another real-estate agent called with a highly motivated buyer, and apparently this place is exactly what they're looking for.
But we haven't done anything yet, obviously.
Don't you want more than one buyer to look at it so you can get in a bidding war? Sometimes, but in this case, this guy is serious, and I think we need to hear what he has to say.
This could be huge.
Well, we haven't painted.
We didn't fix the windows.
We didn't do anything.
It doesn't matter.
You know what? Why don't I bring him over here? If he likes it, great.
If not, no harm, no foul.
You guys are really gonna sell the house? 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 Maybe I should give them a call? - Well, what if they don't? - Who's picking you up today, your mom or your dad? I don't know.
I think my dad.
I'm sure he's just running late.
I don't think he's coming.
Don't worry.
He'll be here.
Want to throw some balls while we wait? No.
I don't know.
W-what if he doesn't come? Hey.
Buddy, it's okay.
Someone is coming.
But what if they don't? Then what do I do? This is Joel.
Yeah, hey, coach.
Yeah, it's-- it's my day to pick him up.
I'm--I'm actually right here.
You see me? What? Oh, crap.
Yeah, I'll be right there.
Yep.
Hey.
- Oh.
- Hey.
- See? There he is.
- Hey, sorry.
Sorry, I went to the wrong field.
I just misread the schedule.
You ready, buddy? Let's go.
- Okay.
- I want to go home.
- Yep.
- Come on.
Thanks for staying late, coach.
You're not the first.
All he said was, "I don't know.
" That's all I could get out of him, was, "I don't know.
" Well, it sounds like he just doesn't want his mom to go with him on the field trip.
- Well, honey, I don't care.
- It's not a big deal.
It is a big deal, okay? It's a long bus ride.
He's gonna spend the night at a hotel.
He's gonna be around kids he's not normally around, you know? I just want to be there to help.
You know, it's just-- it's--it's--it's a big deal.
There's gonna be so many things on this trip that are gonna be hard for him.
He just doesn't know it yet.
I think that those things are gonna be hard for him whether or not you go.
But if I go-- if I go, I can, you know-- What, fix things? I can help.
No, I didn't say that.
I said just maybe navigate things-- - maybe this'll be good for him to try and fix some things so he feels like he can do it.
Screw it.
I'm going.
You know what? He's a kid.
He doesn't know what he wants.
He doesn't get it.
He's not a kid anymore, Kristina.
He's a teenager.
He is a kid.
I think he just wants some more independence.
We gave him that radius at the beginning of the year, which, for the most part, worked out really well.
I think he just wants a little more.
I say we give it to him.
I just--I don't know.
He's still a baby to me, you know? Look, he wants to go on his own Right? That is a big deal.
He's growing up.
I say we support him, don't stand in his way.
We'll see what happens.
Oh, my God, they've been up there a long time.
Let's just hope they don't open the hall closet.
It's where I shoved all the baby stuff.
Well, she said we didn't have to clean it up.
Yeah, but a house looks bigger when it's not cluttered.
Oh, jeez.
The house is the size it is.
We're not gonna change that.
He seemed really negative about the front yard, didn't he? Well, he called my barn a "shed," said he didn't like the way it looked.
I don't like the way he looks.
Why don't I make us some tea? Oh, in our massively outdated kitchen? Well, it's not very modern.
Honey, it's perfect the way it is.
I mean, he told his real-estate agent he wants to gut it.
I mean, I can't take any more of this.
When it's not ours anymore.
Do you know what type of wood this is? Yeah, I can tell you.
That's oak.
I put that in myself after one of my sons broke it when he slid down the bannister.
That baby survived That's not going anywhere.
You got kids, mister Spencer.
Two.
Well, I think we've seen everything.
Thank you so much for your time.
Okay, if you'd like to do another walk-through, maybe check the place out a little bit, happy to let you go through it by yourselves.
No, thank you.
We're good.
Okay, well, I'll just-- I'll walk you out.
Any thoughts there, Spence? Thank you, sir.
Whew.
Man.
"What kind of wood is this? What kind of wood is this?" Okay, we got two lunches.
We got two backpacks and one classroom salamander.
That should do it.
Who's picking me up from school today? It's Wednesday, so your mom's gonna be picking you up.
What time is she picking me up? When school's over.
Duh.
Syd.
You and your sister can wait by the wall.
Not me, I'm going over to Carly and Cassie's after school.
- Does your mom know? - Uh-huh.
I told her not to pick me up.
Okay.
Yeah, but then she'll think that I don't need a ride home.
Buddy, she--she knows.
She knows.
How do you know? You don't talk to her.
We talk.
Come on.
Okay, how about this? I'll--I'll call her right now.
Hold on.
I'll call her right now, and you can hear it from her.
We're gonna be late.
Hey, Julia.
I'm just outside the school with the--the kids, and we just want to confirm that you'll be here afterwards, okay? Call me back.
- Let's go.
- Okay, we good? - I don't know.
- God, Victor.
Why are you being such a baby? Syd, none of that.
Get out of here.
Love you.
Mwah.
Bye.
Bye.
Buddy She'll be here, okay? Can you just call her again? Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
Used the bathroom? Yeah.
I think there's a bathroom on the bus if you need to go.
You've asked me all of this five times already.
I know.
We just want to make sure.
So who you sitting with on the bus? - I don't know.
- Don't know.
I don't want you two to walk me on there.
- Well, Max, hey, uh - Can I have a hug? We love you.
All right.
Hi, bud.
High fives all around everything's going down everything's going but you just can't stop it Julia.
Hi.
- Lizzie.
- Do you have a sec? - I'm not sure that I do.
- I'm sorry? My marriage is my business, okay? I'm sorry if that's rude or blunt or something, but the gossip has got to stop.
I'm sick and I'm tired of it.
I'm serious.
Of course.
No, I respect your, uh Actually, it's about the cell phone.
- What? - It's just I know that we don't have an official rule or anything, but unofficially, I thought we'd all agreed to wait until the sixth grade to get them for our kids.
Okay.
It's not my business, of course, but now that Victor has one-- - Victor doesn't have one.
Basically every kid in the class wants one.
Okay, there's got to be some kind of misunderstanding.
Mom! Look at the new phone dad got me! Look, it's blue! Look! - Hey.
- Hey? What, that's all I get? No love for a successful stalking mission? Yeah, you found the one class we don't have together.
Very impressive.
Drew, come on.
I'm here at 8:00 A.
M.
for peace talks.
who takes an 8:00 A.
M.
class? It's absurd.
But I'm here at oh-dark-thirty 'cause I miss you.
What, seriously? A shrug? That's all I'm gonna get from you? Yes, I'm pissed at you.
You're pissed at me.
Okay, hey.
Hurt, I get.
Hurt, I can-- I can live with, but you don't get to be pissed at me for this.
That you slept with my friend? - Your friend? - Yeah.
Seriously, you barely tolerate Berto.
He is not your friend.
You slept with Berto.
That's worse.
Okay, wait.
Let me just get this straight.
My big crime is that while we were very clearly not together, I slept with somebody that you just accidentally happened to live with? It's so different.
You slept with Berto.
Really mature, Drew.
Come on, at least own up to it.
Amy came to town, and you dropped everything.
You dropped school.
You dropped your friends.
You sure as hell dropped me.
Okay, good talk.
I'm glad we sorted all that out.
And again, so sorry I slept with somebody that you kind of, sort of knew! My bad! - Anything? - No, nothing.
Nothing since the last three times you called.
You got to-- stop calling, all right? I'm hanging up.
All right.
Just tell me one thing.
H-h-how do I deal with the waiting and the not knowing? I don't know.
I got to go.
What does-what does-- what does that mean? You think-- you think they hate it? - No.
I think you're gonna keep calling me until you hear from them, which could be days.
Days? I certainly hope not.
You're ridiculous.
Really, you're ridiculous now.
I'm not ridiculous.
I was sitting in my apartment.
I was driving myself crazy, so I thought I'd come here.
Yay.
Here I am.
Well, I can't-- you know, I'm doing stuff.
I can't entertain you or anything.
Who's asking to be entertained? I'm not asking to be entertained.
I'm here to entertain you.
I'm gonna sing.
I'm gonna dance.
I'm gonna help you with these flowers.
Torture me is what you're here to do.
I don't want you to touch the flowers, though.
- Just give me something to do.
- You know what? I got gels.
I can't find the gels.
Remember when you worked here, when I paid you to--to--to do all this? Yeah, find those gels.
I can't find 'em since you stopped working.
Fine.
What do you think their response is gonna be, though? Just don't ramble, 'cause if you ramble, I'm gonna punch a bird.
I'm not gonna ramble, okay? I'm just here to help you and You know, I do wonder why they haven't called.
Wouldn't you just call to say, "oh, we got the-- you know, we got the email, and it's looking good"? Or, you know, "oh, we need a little more time to think about it," or, like, "hey, we're having a meeting on Tuesday, and that's why we haven't gotten back to you.
" I just don't understand the--the silence.
[Chuckle yeah.
Okay, I'll text you "good night" later or something.
Okay, sweetie.
Would you--would you--hey.
Tell your dad to come out here, okay? Okay, sure.
Dad, mom's at the door.
Hey, buddy.
Oh.
Cool.
- Hi.
- Hey.
The phone.
The phone.
- Yes.
- So - I'm sorry.
- You can't do that.
- I know.
- Joel.
He was freaking out yesterday, and it's all my fault.
- What happened? - I went to go pick him up, and I got the baseball schedule mixed up, so I went to the wrong field.
So you show up at the cafeteria with a shiny, new phone at lunchtime just to make up for that mistake? It wasn't like that.
It's not a bribe.
Listen to me.
He was worried that you weren't gonna pick him up that afternoon, and so I tried to reassure him.
So I called you Right.
- And you didn't-- - I called you back.
Texted me back an hour later, and by then, he was a total mess.
You couldn't wait an hour to make this decision? I know.
Yes, I'm sorry.
Joel, that's ridiculous.
- Joel - He feels like we're gonna let him slip through the cracks, you know? And I-I can't blame him, with the way we've been communicating.
Like you buying a phone without talking to me about it first? Yeah, right.
Okay, good.
We're on the same page with that part.
You should have just seen him, Julia.
He's melting down in front of me, and I feel like all these abandonment issues-- they're coming back up.
- Because you moved out.
He's got-- - let's talk about the real reason.
He's got your number, my number, and your parents' number in the phone.
That's all he's allowed to communicate with.
Okay, he was texting with the baseball team on the way home.
Okay, well, he's not allowed to do that.
I'll talk to him about that.
You talk to him about that.
You're doing the parenting right now.
I'm so tired of fighting.
- I don't-- - Can we just stop? You're not willing to fight for anything.
- I think he can hear us.
- Okay, fine.
That's real convenient.
I'll see you later, sweetie.
You just give me a call if you need anything.
Julia Amber.
It's time to get up, man.
- Why do I need to get up? - Because this class-- it's your one Natalie-free class today.
- Oh, my gosh.
- Get up.
I'm not going to my class.
You have to go to your class, Drew.
It's already too late.
I already missed it.
Drew, it's not too late.
You have to go.
Look, I haven't been making you do anything, okay? So the one thing you have to do is go to your one class.
I'm gonna make you go to your one class-- - you can't make me go to my class.
I can make you.
It's my apartment, and you have to go, okay? Thank you.
It's very bright.
Jeez.
Drew Stop being such a baby and go to your class.
Oh, my God.
I don't want to go to class, okay? I don't want to see Berto and Natalie.
I don't want to think about that.
Please.
She's always asking me if I'm okay.
It's incredibly annoying.
All right, I'm sad.
I'm sad about Amy, and I want to smoke weed and write bad songs.
Drew, of course.
I'm sorry.
I-I understand.
Here I'm sorry that I yelled at you.
No, it's okay.
I'm sorry I poured water on you.
Just go back to sleep, okay? I just didn't know.
- This sand, it's not-- - Let it go.
I don't even think It's, like, too sporty.
Let it go, all right? Just.
I can't let it go.
It's been three days.
I haven't heard from-- they haven't said one thing.
How--how can you be so calm? 'Cause it's your ass on the line and not mine.
- Thanks.
- But it doesn't matter.
You can't do anything, so just let it go.
Oh, my God, I just-- I feel like I'm gonna-- I'm so I'm gonna cry.
Not for real, though, right? You're not gonna cry, right? If I get bad news, I'm gonna absolutely start crying.
I'm-- - can't you control that? - No, I can't control it.
How can I control my human emotions? If I get bad news on the phone, I'm going to start crying.
Maybe he won't use the phone.
Maybe he'll email you.
Great.
I'll just cry at my email, then.
Nope, nothing.
Nothing, nothing.
Ugh.
It's just-- the waiting is the worst.
But it's good, though.
It's good, so just relax.
- Why is it good? - Just relax.
Just relax.
Hank? What? I mean, you looked disgruntled.
You looked like you were stressed out.
No, I am.
I am.
I thought you needed to just--forget it.
Forget it.
Work yourself up.
No, thank you.
Work yourself into a little tizzy.
I just--I don't-- I don't want to give you the wrong idea, 'cause No, we're good.
We're good.
You're not giving me the wrong idea.
- Okay.
- No, we're not.
We're not.
We're not good.
I do.
I do have the wrong idea.
What do you mean? There's a million Bravermans out there, right? Every corner, there's a Braverman.
They're like Starbucks, the Bravermans.
But you come here.
You come to me every time.
Why? Why? I'm getting the wrong idea.
I got the wrong idea because you come in here, and you're vulnerable.
You're--you're needy, and I-I-I want to be there for you because I Be-- I-I want to be here, and--and it seems like you want me to be here.
I do, I do, as My friend, you know? I mean, that sounds so-- - oh, yeah, all right, okay, okay.
Friends.
No, but- - hmm.
Ah! Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ah! Oh.
What does that mean? "Sarah, can you meet me tomorrow at 4:00? Alec.
" Oh, my God.
What does that mean? What does that mean? Do you think it's bad? I can't be here for you anymore, Sarah.
It's hard, you know.
It's, uh It's confusing.
I just don't want to do it anymore.
Mmhmm.
All cash, 30-day escrow, just below asking.
- Wow.
- Mm - We thought he hated it.
- No, he did not hate it.
He loved it, loved it.
Should I get the champagne? If he loved it so much, why didn't he make the full offer, then? Oh, well, it's-- it's not that far off, and it's all cash.
No banks, quick close.
This is an amazing offer.
Well, I mean, it's-- it's easier for you.
Zeek.
There's no open houses, no advertising.
I mean, I know how these things work.
Look, um, I say we take the full ask, or we don't budge.
I think that we're, both of us, in a little shock right now, um, and we just need some time.
Of course, of course.
You know what? You guys take all the time that you want.
Actually, take three days, 'cause that's the clock they put on the offer.
Oh, okay.
But if you have any questions, give me a call, anytime.
- Okay.
- Okay? - Thank you.
- Thanks.
Wow.
I proved to everyone that I'm a force to be reckoned with-- - you think that guy kind of looks like ed? The chef? It's Mr.
Knight.
Hello? Kristina, hi.
Uh, so sorry to bother you, but we've got a little situation here.
Um, okay.
What's wrong? Uh, I'm not sure.
We were on our way to dinner, and all of a sudden, Max started freaking out.
He was yelling and swearing.
What's going on? I've never seen him melt down like that.
Oh, my God.
He freaked out.
What happened? Did he say what happened? No, he's--he's calm now, but he's sitting in the middle of the lobby, and I I can't get him to move.
Um, can you put him on the phone for me, please? Max.
Dude, it's your mom.
She wants to say "hi.
" - Max? - Max, my man.
Just talk to your mom just--just for a sec.
Buddy? Uh, I think you'd better come down here and get him.
Okay, we're on our way.
Thank you.
- Victor? - Yeah.
Put the phone away, please.
No, I'm texting dad.
I'm allowed to text dad.
- Not at the table.
- It's an emergency.
I left my baseball mitt in his car.
That's not an emergency.
- I want to text dad.
- Put it away.
Stop it-- get away! I'm putting it away! Knock it off.
Hey, knock it off, you guys.
How come Victor gets a phone and I don't? - Stop! It's not your phone! - I don't get-- - knock it off! - Stop shouting! - Knock it off.
You shout all the time ever since Victor got here! It's all your fault! No- - everything was good until you got here.
- Sydney.
- Mom and dad always got along, and now they hate it each other.
- Sydney, knock it off! - And it's all your fault! I hate you! Sydney! Go to your room! - You know it's true.
- Not another word, Sydney! Go to your room! When I finished at Syracuse, that's-- that's when I decided to come out here to go to Berkeley to get my PhD.
And, you know, it's-- it's a very sweet school, very progressive.
I think you'd like it.
You want to tell me what happened tonight? Max? - My parents are here.
- Hey, Mr.
Knight.
They're gonna take me home now.
- How are you? - I want to go home.
You know what? Why don't you go with him, and I'll catch up to you guys? I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
Yeah, we're very sorry about that.
So, uh, what-- what exactly happened here? Honestly, I'm not-- I'm not sure.
I think maybe some of the other kids were messing with him.
It usually doesn't affect him, but, uh--but something just flipped in him like a-- like a switch, you know? He was--he was screaming and thrashing around and-- So it was pretty bad? It was bad.
Oh.
Yeah, you know, he used to have these really bad tantrums - Yeah? - But it was years ago.
I'm sorry, you know? I just--I thought that he was past this stage, but I guess it's never over, so Uh, all right, listen, thanks a lot for staying here with him.
I know it couldn't have been easy after seeing that.
Max is--is a cool dude, you know, most of the time.
And honestly, I'm not supposed to say this, but a lot of these kids-- they're jackasses.
- Well - You know, I-I try to-- I try to step in where I can, but it's--it's gotten bad.
I think that next year is gonna be much better.
I really do.
I hope so.
- It will.
- Listen, you're a good man.
Thanks for sitting with him.
Yeah.
All right.
Take care.
Hey, tellEl presidenteI'll miss him gold-mining tomorrow.
- I will.
- All right.
Ooh.
Hoo, hoo, hoo.
It's chilly.
It's so chilly.
- Oh, yeah, well-- - Here, look what I got us.
Oh.
There you go.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, just snuggle in here.
Snuggle up.
Yeah.
It's really nice by the fire.
Yes, it is.
It's a good fire pit.
Hmm.
Well, what the hell was I thinking? I should have built this thing 30 years-- I mean Really? Can you believe that we've been here 44 years? What happened to the time? The house was so different then.
There was an oak tree there where the barn is, remember? Yeah.
I loved that tree.
Yeah, I know you did.
I was so sad when it got that Dreadful What was-- some kind of oak disease, right? Oak tree disease? No.
Yeah.
No, the tree didn't have a disease, Mille.
See, I wanted to build the barn there, and I knew you loved the tree, so I told you it had a disease, and then I cut it down.
- You did not.
- Yeah, I did.
- Are you kidding me? - Mm-mm.
Ezekiel Braverman.
The truth finally comes out.
Yeah, I-I've been holding it in so long too.
- Really? - Well, yeah.
I mean, God, you know, this guy who wants to buy the place-- he called my barn "a shed.
" You know, it's gonna get torn down.
He'll probably replant some kind of a scrub oak or something.
I don't know.
What are we gonna do? I don't know.
I don't know.
I mean, I still want to sell.
That hasn't changed.
But, I mean, it's just so fast.
Hmm.
Now we have Crosby and his family living here.
I don't know.
Victor's counting on finishing that car with you too.
I'd hate to take that away from him.
Mmhmm.
Yeah, I mean, the offer came in pretty quick.
I guess there might be others, but You know, there's no guarantee, is there? So you think we should take it? Mille, I want what you want.
I want to wait.
We'll put it on the market in Three or four months, the way we originally planned to do When we're ready.
It's a nice fire, isn't it? Yes.
It's a good fire pit.
Max.
Buddy-- I said I don't want to talk.
I know you don't want to talk about it, but we've been driving for over two hours, and I think your dad and I can help if you explain to us what happened.
Can we turn on the radio? Yeah.
That's a good idea.
We can wait till we get home.
We'll talk about it then.
Why do all the other kids hate me? - Honey, nobody hates you.
- They're just idiots.
- Nobody hates you.
- Is it because I'm weird? Honey, you're not weird, okay? I think sometimes-- I don't know-- kids don't understand your asperger's, and they misinterpret it as being weird or whatever.
But you're not weird.
You're--you're so smart, and you're hilarious.
If I'm smart and hilarious, then why do they hate me? They They don't hate you.
I promise.
Trevor peed in my canteen.
I'm gonna kill him.
He said he did it because I'm a freak.
I am a weirdo freak.
You're not a freak.
I think he's right.
No, he's an asshole, Max.
He's an idiot.
You're not a freak, honey.
I think I am a freak.
I try to understand them, but I can't.
Asperger's is supposed to make me smart.
But if I'm smart, then why Why don't I get why they're laughing at me? They all do it, even the nice kids, even Micah.
And I don't understand why.
I don't understand.
It's okay.
Honey, it's okay.
You're not allowed to be without a seat belt in a moving vehicle.
I don't care.
- I don't like being hugged.
- I don't care right now.
- I don't like being hugged.
- I know you don't.
I just want you to listen to me.
I don't like being hugged.
Shh.
I love you, buddy, okay? I love you so, so much.
It's okay.
Hank? Hi.
Hey.
Hi.
- What are you - Well, I just figured, uh I don't know.
I figured I should be here as a friend in case you cry or something.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
You don't want to be alone when you cry, right? We'll go get a drink, and we'll cry together.
Yeah, good luck.
Hey, wa-- Sarah, wait.
Don't cry no matter what happens in there.
Just don't--don't cry, 'cause The work that you did Was phenomenal.
You should be proud of it.
I'm proud of you.
So, no matter what happens, just know that.
I don't know who to blame I don't know if it's all the same but I think you love me too 'cause you say that you do Don't even think about putting that guitar down.
You're embarrassing.
Drew, you have to play me that song right now.
- I'm not playing you anything.
- It's been in my head ever since I heard it the other day.
Please.
Through the wall in the hallway? - Yes, please.
- I'm not playing it.
Drew, I've done everything for you.
I've let you stay here.
I've fed you.
I've given you drugs.
Please, the least you can do is play me a song.
Drew, I feel sad, and it's gonna make me feel better.
I can't sing also.
You know I can't sing.
Please? Please, for me? I'll play it.
You're gonna feel bad for me, but whatever.
I'll help you.
I'll--I'll figure it out and sing with you, okay? All right.
I don't know who to blame I don't know if it's all the same but I think you love me too because you say that you do and when I say it it's only with you that I meant it know that I've got you so know that you got me too 'cause I love you the way you are no matter what I'll always want you back now they're gone and took away I promise you I will always stay I don't know if I'm in the right I don't know if I'm on the right side if you lose your peace of mind I'll be the one you can find I love you the way you are no matter what, I'll always want you back now they're gone and took away a part of you, but I will always stay but I will always stay It's really good.
All right, bud.
It's time.
We got to go here.
I don't want this phone anymore.
You can take it back to the store.
Uh, okay.
Well, if I take it back, I'm not getting you an upgrade.
No.
You can take it back.
I don't-- I don't want it.
What's going on? Do you think if you take the phone back, mom will stop being mad at you? Buddy, I'm I messed up, okay? Not you.
I, uh-- I should have communicated more with your mom, and that's my fault.
We're just trying to figure this situation out, you know? The adults too.
No, but is it my fault that you and mom got separated? Absolutely not.
Because Sydney said that before I moved in with you guys, everything was better.
Okay, well, first of all You didn't just Move in with us.
You understand me? You came to be our son.
That means that No matter what happens No matter what you do For the rest of your life, your mom and I are not gonna stop loving you No matter what.
Oh, for crying in the bucket.
What part of "no" does she not understand? I know.
I know.
You are not ready to sell the house.
And ordinarily, I'd be very respectful of that decision.
Ordinarily? But ordinarily, I don't get an offer this good.
Jack upped his bid.
We didn't counter.
I know, which is why, I guess, he, um, came back higher than asking.
Right there.
Oh, my God.
"Oh, my God" is right.
That would be a record for the neighborhood, and it would probably buy me that vacation to Hawaii that I've always wanted, but don't let me influence you.
- Oh, my God.
- This can't be right.
It's totally right, and you got a lot of thinking to do.
You got three days.
