I'm thinking about
buying a house
in hopes that Jasmine will want
to come live in it with me.
This place isn't a dump.
I think we can fix it.
I spoke to the
Dean of Admissions today.
You didn't get in.
I did the best I could to do what you want
me to do, but it's not working for me.
I'm going to start making my own
decisions, whether you like them or not.
Haddie, I would be honored
to be your prom date.
Are you and Alex
talking about sex?
When the time is right,
we're going to know.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
Oh, yes! Janet, angel.
This thing is exactly...
Amber, darling
it's tee time.
Oh, lovely.
I'll have an Earl Grey.
No, no, not that
tea time, silly.
Like golf tee time.
But look.
Oh, thank God
she found something.
I know.
I'm starving, yeah.
These are delicious.
They're so good.
Mmm. Mmm.
Mmm.
I'll take that too.
Thank you. Mmm.
Oh, they're so good.
Now, come here.
Not quite sure how this is done, but
we're going to take a stab at it anyway.
Come on.
Okay, I'll try but no promises.
Don't be mad at me if I'm not good.
Don't try, do. Come on.
Okay, Yoda.
All right, take it.
You give me that, yeah.
And then just, you
know, get into a nice,
you know, bent over position.
Okay.
And you get your stick,
is that what it is?
I don't... Okay, whatever.
Okay, now
you just want to, you know, just use
your body to just will the ball in.
Will the ball in, okay.
Like a tennis game.
Okay, ready?
Yeah.
Okay, here it goes.
Oh.
Ah! So close!
Ah!
You went over the.
All right, give me another shot.
Retrieve it for me, valet. Okay we're gonna...
Okay I'm going. I'm going.
I got the eggs. I got Max's snacks,
but did you get the waffles?
What?
I thought you were going
to get the waffles.
I told you to get them, little
cinnamon waffles for Haddie.
Honey, how could you forget the waffles?
They're Haddie's favorite.
I know they're her favorite,
you're such a jokester.
I put them in the basket.
Thank you.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Phone.
Yeah. Right there. Answer it.
Answer the phone!
I know how to answer the phone.
Hello? You do?
(LAUGHS)
(MOANING OVER PHONE)
Hello?
What is this?
Hello?
Who's number is that?
I don't know. Hold on.
(MOANING)
That's Haddie.
It's Haddie.
Honey, I think she's
playing a joke on us.
No, no, honey.
Haddie, honey!
Oh, God.
It sounds like she's hurt.
That's not what
that sounds like.
What does it sound like to you?
That sounds like it's...
No, it doesn't. I can't keep
listening to this, honey. I can't!
She's not doing anything. Yes, she is.
She's clearly doing something!
She's not! So, relax.
Yes, she is!
I'm hanging up. I'm hanging up, honey!
Do not hang up.
No, don't hang up...
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(PANTING)
Oh, my God.
Look, honey,
there is a chance that
what we think we heard
wasn't anything.
It was something, though.
I'm not saying it wasn't something.
It was definitely something.
Yes, well, there's a very good
chance it wasn't the thing.
That it wasn't it.
Yeah, I mean, maybe it was
something close to the thing.
It sounded advanced.
Maybe she was exercising.
Honey, I heard...
Stretching. I heard it.
No, that wasn't what it was.
Honey, I have no idea.
Maybe it wasn't even her.
You know there is a chance that she
could have had to loan her phone
to somebody for
some crazy reason.
One of her friends.
Yeah.
Maybe that Kaitlin. I mean have you
seen the way that she dresses?
No.
What?
What, are you looking
at how she's dressed?
No, honey. What?
That's weird.
Why are you looking at...
I'm not.
HADDIE: Hi. Mommy.
Pappy. KRISTINA: Hey.
Hi. I'm just kidding.
No laughs. Not funny. Hi. Hi.
We just came home
from getting groceries.
Where have you
been, book store?
Um, yeah. Wow.
Good detective work.
Yeah? Oh, I got Mom,
um, I got you this.
This mustang book by Sharon
Biederman that you wanted.
Oh, hey, hey, hey, that's great
I didn't read about it but...
What else did you do?
Um, I went and I got coffee.
Uh-huh.
Where'd you go get coffee?
HADDIE: And looked at
the beautiful sun.
At the bookstore.
Oh, right, right, right, right, right.
You know it?
Yeah. Sure.
Of course you know. Yeah.
Mmm-hmm.
Okay.
Okay.
You guys were obviously in
the middle of something,
so I'm going to go do homework.
No, we're good.
HADDIE: I love you.
KRISTINA:
We're just chatting.
Love you too.
Hey Joel, can we tackle this
terrible light fixture next
because it looks like a crack house
and she's going to hate this.
Can we just look at the door
and marvel at it for a second?
And just admire the thing we
spent four hours putting.
It's... It's gorgeous.
It is, isn't it?
I appreciate it.
Thank you. But I'm feeling
like we should hit this
and then I would love to get
rid of this crappy, fake wood.
Uh, the wainscoting?
Wainscoting?
Yep.
Yeah, well, can we rip it out
because she's not going to like it.
Uh, we can.
It's physically possible, yes.
But, I mean, you sure you want to?
It's got a lot of other.
Hey! Other than it's a dump.
Morning troops.
Hey Jules.
I brought reinforcements.
Oh, hell yes!
Have you eaten anything? No.
This is important.
Yes, we can do it.
It's just... What's our timeframe here?
What are we looking at?
Before what?
Before you show it to her.
I mean, that is the
ultimate goal here, right?
Yeah, I'm going to show
it to her but, you know,
I can't bring her
in here and say,
"Welcome to your new dump.
"Sorry it looks like a Howard
Johnsons from the 70's." Okay?
I want her to be excited
and moved, you know,
so I think that involves
ripping out the wainscoting?
It's just, um, we've run into
a bit of a money problem.
Okay. Um,
I'll sell my motorcycle.
And we won't have
a money problem.
Thank you for bringing that by.
CROSBY: I'm going to
unload the sod, okay?
ADAM: You got it.
Are you preparing the Titanic
for its maiden voyage?
Yeah. I'm in the crew.
You know how that story ends.
I'm going to go pick up sod
and do something with it.
Doesn't the door
look good, though?
The door looks fantastic.
You didn't have to say that.
I mean...
Right.
Did you do that?
Thank you.
CROSBY: Come on, Joel.
Yeah, I'm coming.
Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait.
No, no, no.
That's not what I'm saying.
You're going too fast. You're going too fast.
So what you're saying is
that everyone you meet
from the time you get up to the time
you get there are your old boyfriends?
And they're all saying
the same thing?
You think that it's the boyfriends
of the past, but in fact,
it's the same guy
who just keeps echoing...
Great. Great. Great.
We're in this. We're in this.
Great. All right.
I'll take that.
And this is where your ***
can be of some use to us.
What did you? What?
Tomorrow night, we're going
to that fundraising party.
We are? Yes, we are.
And Jack Kraft,
the Artistic Director of the Berkeley
Theater is going to be there.
Heard of him. He's read your play.
He likes it.
Wait a minute, you didn't tell me that.
He read it?
He trained under me,
I gave him his first job,
he owes his whole career to me.
Good. That's amazing.
And there is only one
slot left Oh God!
In the New Voices series
and we want that slot.
Yes, we want that slot.
Yes, we do. Now theater is half
art and half relationships.
Oh, God, that's where the...
So tomorrow night is when you
start using your relationships.
Okay, yeah,
I'll put them to work.
That's exactly right.
ADAM: All right, I think
we're almost there.
I like the changes
you guys have made.
I like them a lot. I like those background
images and I think it really pops.
KAREN: Thank you.
You bet.
Yeah, I think it looks great,
really simplified. Yeah.
I think the only thing I'd
say is maybe the lettering.
Copy, make a little bolder somehow.
KAREN: Yeah, yeah.
ADAM: So it kind of
leaps off the page.
Okay.
Uh. Hey.
Hey.
Did you want to take it. Nope.
You sure?
Yep.
It'll be ready to see in 24 hours.
It's okay.
We're just going to make a couple
more tweaks, basically with the copy.
Uh, you know maybe if
we did some sort of 3D.
Absolutely, yeah.
Just to make it a little more hip.
Boom.
Yeah.
It just...
It looks like a picture.
Well, it's a photograph.
Yes. Yes.
But it looks like an ad.
Well it is, Cory.
It's an ad.
Yes. Hold that thought.
Wait, wait, wait.
Oh.
(EXHALES)
Okay, it's an ad.
Yeah.
What if it was an ad
that looked like art?
Hmm.
Hmm.
Okay, I've got...
I've got this friend.
He does these drawings.
You remember Spyder, right?
I do remember Spyder.
Spyder. We get Spyder in here
to do these amazing drawings
of the shoe, just the shoe.
But nothing else?
Nothing else.
No copy?
No copy.
You know.
All copy.
Just words.
So no shoe?
No. Shoe with words.
The shoe is words.
Oh, I see, so the image of the shoe
is made of the copy, the words?
Yes. Yes.
Okay. I think that's
an interesting idea.
I'm texting Spyder right now.
You don't have to do that.
These guys are totally capable of
running with that idea.
Oh, absolutely.
What do you think?
I think it could be amazing.
Right?
I mean that streak.
What's your name?
I'm Karen.
Karen.
This is Kim.
Kim. Karen. Cory.
Cool.
Braverman.
That's my name.
Yeah.
Okay, well, uh.
We have the statement from
the Munson Corporation,
but we're still waiting on the
discovery from Erik Gainer,
so I expect that
by this afternoon.
Do you mind if
I catch up with you?
Hey.
Oh, my God, you wreak.
So cute. Ooh!
Amber. Cool.
Where did you get these?
I know you're very upset about
not getting into college,
but this is not how
you deal with things.
Mmm. Aromatherapy.
You are humiliating.
I can explain and I
understand what you're saying
and you're so nice and I
appreciate everything, but like,
I'm not going to be a lawyer.
Clearly.
And now, I don't need money
because I'm not going to go
college, do you know what I mean?
I don't want to be in
here if I don't have to
and I don't have to,
so I quit.
Sorry, but I quit.
Amber. Amber. I just can't take
myself so seriously, you know?
Amber. This is ridiculous.
Look at this.
What? I want this.
I don't want this.
Look, there's not
even sunlight in here.
I mean this is like
a nightmare, right guys?
I don't want this. Do you guys want this?
This isn't even real.
This is terrible. I'm sorry.
Please don't be mad.
Amber.
I'll see you soon. Okay?
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
(DOOR OPENS)
Hey, honey.
Hey.
Doing homework? Kind of.
Listening to music.
That's cool.
Yeah.
I just... I wanted to talk
to you about something.
Okay.
Okay.
Um, it's actually,
(SIGHS) this might make you
a little bit uncomfortable,
but I just need to
ask you a question.
Okay.
Are you and Alex having sex?
No.
Haddie.
No. No.
Okay.
Okay. There's no sort of
intercourse or sex...
I said no three times.
Okay, because if you were, I'd want you to
know that you could talk to me about it.
Okay. I hear you.
Because I'm here for you.
So the answer's no, you're not.
Right.
I mean, what, you were
my age or something
when you first had sex?
Is that what's going on?
I was not.
I was 22.
I was 22 at college.
Wow.
It's a big step.
I just decided that I wanted to wait.
So... Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Continue, I'll just, um...
However, Haddie, if you are
wanting to talk about it,
I want to talk to you, okay?
Okay.
Okay.
I just can't do this right now.
No, you haven't heard it all
before, apparently.
Or none of it sunk in.
Are you gonna go up and just hide
in your room I don't think so.
And not talk?
I'm just exhausted.
Please, please, I can't do
this with you right now.
Just don't hide
yourself in your room.
I just need a little bit
of alone time.
Then we don't have to
have this conversation.
You're not going to follow me in here?
You're not going to get it.
It's kind of a private matter.
But I guess I'll wait.
Yeah, I'm going to follow you.
That's the kind of super mom I am.
I'm just wondering who
you want to be. God.
Do you want to be the person who
gets high and yells at your aunt?
I don't know who I want to be yet.
I need to figure it out, okay?
I'm just trying
to figure it out.
I feel really bad about what
happened at the office, okay?
Good.
And I was not trying
to be mean to her.
I just was trying to, say what
I felt in the moment and it...
You can't say what you feel in the moment.
That's what a child does
and you've been telling me you
want to be treated like an adult
so you have to act like one.
I get it.
You have to figure out
what you're going to do.
I know it was a setback
not to get into school,
but we just have to think about
what's the next year going to be.
(SIGHS)
I think we should...
And don't say no to me.
We need to have pasta.
Pasta?
We need to go to the Farfallala
or whatever it's called.
At this point it's worth a try.
I mean, what options
do we have really?
Not many.
We'll eat the pasta.
We'll figure it out.
(GROANS)
ADAM: Look what the home
improvement stork delivered us.
Uh-oh.
What you got?
How about some kitchen tiles?
Look at these bad Larrys.
Oh, wow.
Ta-da.
Um, they're the wrong color.
Light blue.
These are aqua blue.
They're light blue, man.
There wasn't an aqua blue option.
Well they're aqua blue.
Well, this is what you would see
in the Little Mermaid's kitchen.
Okay, well...
We gotta order new ones.
We're not ordering new ones.
That's going to take one week, maybe two weeks.
All right, so it takes a week.
We're using these tiles.
Listen, Joel, it's got to be perfect, man.
You can't put those in there.
It's a house, Crosby.
It's going to do whatever it's going to do
and kitchen tiles aren't going to
be the deal breaker here. You...
You have got to show her this place.
Do you understand?
I know it's going to be
hard, but you just...
You got to find out.
Hey.
Hey, how are you?
Um, I am.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm just
going to say it, uh.
Say what?
Alex and I have had sex.
Uh...
Okay.
I just don't, uh, have any
idea what to say right now.
I guess I shouldn't
have told you.
No, no, no, you should have.
I mean, actually, we had a feeling
that, you know, maybe you would've...
Who's we?
Dad and I.
We had a feeling that, you
know, honey, he's your dad.
It is what it is, you know.
It is what it is.
So, it's okay.
(SIGHS)
Is, um... Is he pressuring
you to do this, honey?
No. No.
Because if he is, I swear...
Are you being careful?
Are you using a ***?
Yup.
Or some sort of protection?
Yes. Yes.
Okay.
How did you guys know?
Um, we just had a feeling.
Parents' intuition.
Okay, well, that's it.
(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)
Do you see him?
Okay, that's Jack Kraft.
That is? He's cute.
GILLIAM: Yeah.
That's what he thinks.
ZEEK: Well, he waved.
I don't think he saw you.
Yes, he did.
I'll be right back.
Dad. Dad.
Just...
SARAH: Come on, Dad.
ZEEK: Hey, hang out there.
Do you have kids? Excuse me. Hi.
How do you do?
Just wanted... Mr. Kraft? Yeah?
Zeek Braverman.
Hi.
Really an honor to meet you.
Thank you very much.
I think you recognize that gentleman
over there, Gilliam T. Blount.
Could you come over and say hi?
Well, you know what?
I'm actually, kind of, I'm working.
You know what, that
wasn't really a request.
I mean, didn't he give you your
first break in show business?
All right, come on.
What the heck, huh?
Sure.
Got you your first gig, get you
started and all that. Yeah.
He's going to need
a little softening up
because our last exchange
was not so great.
Oh!
Sure. Hey.
ZEEK: Thank you.
Gilliam, how you doing? Good.
You've been doing good.
Thanks. Thanks a lot.
Hi.
Hi.
Listen, I have a new
project and it's great.
This is the author,
Sarah Braverman.
Hi. Very nice
to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
GILLIAM: She's written
quite a unique play.
A combination of
Miller and Wasserstein.
Wow.
It's funny and...
I can never live up to that.
That's a ringing endorsement from
Gilliam Blount who is a legend.
If we all had one tenth of
the career you had, Gilliam,
then I think we'd
all be very lucky.
So good luck. Thanks for coming tonight.
Have a good time.
Why don't you read it?
You know what?
It's all about
glad-handing tonight.
I really can't make
those promises here.
Very nice to meet you.
Great to meet you. Good luck, guys.
Jack. Jack, don't.
Don't blow her off because of me.
Gilliam,
you're forgetting that
you told Sam Shepard
that I was incompetent.
You did?
I told him that you weren't
right for that particular play.
You said incompetent.
That's what you did.
Yes. Yes, I did.
And that's what you were
and now you're not.
There's hope for us all then I guess.
SARAH: Wow. I mean.
Really good meeting you. Good luck.
Have some drinks. It's very nice to...
See you all later.
Jack!
Oh, there he is.
Thank you very, very much.
Bye, bye.
Um, Mr. Kraft.
Mr. Kraft. Hi. Hi.
Hey, wow.
Sorry, it's...
It's okay.
I wanted to just say that I,
having worked with Gill, know what an
incredible pill he can be and I'm...
Gill the Pill.
And I'm sorry for whatever the
history is with you guys.
That's all right.
But I hope that you'll be able
to read my play unbiased.
Uh-huh. You okay?
Yeah, I'm okay. I'm nervous.
Okay. Well, I've got
an army of readers
and they look at
all the submissions
and the best ones
end up on my desk
and I read those unbiased.
Okay, I don't want to be read by the
army, I want to be read by you.
Hey, okay.
Sarah, what?
Braverman.
Sarah Braverman.
Braverman. Okay,
Sarah Braverman.
So where might I have
seen your work before?
(LAUGHS)
It's funny because?
Nowhere.
You've never had
a play produced?
Better. I've never
written a play before.
Uh, you've been on the earth a long time
without having ever written a play.
No offense.
Well, listen, uh,
yes, no, you're right.
But, you know, Margaret Edson
wrote Wit when she was 35.
That's true.
And she was a kindergarten teacher and
it won the Pulitzer Prize in 1999
so I think you should
You're aware of Wit.
Read my play, please,
because I believe in it
and it is really
important to me.
Well, Sarah Braverman,
I'll tell you what,
I will read your play.
Wow. Really?
Okay? Yes, I promise.
Thank you very much. Yeah.
Get out of my way please.
You sure? Okay.
Yeah, I'm sure.
You're frightening me
only a little bit.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
That's awesome.
Bye. Have a good night.
Thanks for coming.
(EXCLAIMS)
Hey.
Hey.
So, I talked to Haddie.
Yeah.
Mmm-hmm.
And...
What we thought
we heard her doing,
she's doing.
So she's having sex?
Mmm-hmm.
Hmm.
All right, well, did you
tell her to use protection?
I did. I did. And they are.
You told her to do it because
she wants to be doing it and
Apparently she wants to.
Be doing it with somebody she cares about.
She wants to do it and I talked
to her about everything.
All right.
Yeah, I guess that's it then.
I mean I didn't...
(SIGHS)
CORY:
I'm loving this idea.
SPYDER: That was Karen's idea.
Yeah, that was Karen's, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
Karen, you're a genius.
Yo, Braverman.
ADAM: Yeah.
Don't hate, man.
Come on in. Celebrate.
I'm not. I'm not hating.
All right? Okay. All right, man.
Little floor skateboard
you got here?
Okay. Whoa!
Well, that's...
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Okay. All right, man.
You remember Spyder?
I do.
Braverman.
Spyder. Good to see you.
What's up?
Yeah, finish it off. Then go.
Aw, boom. Sorry, yeah.
Yo, check out what Spyder was able to
do in, like, under two hours, man.
Look at this.
ADAM: Wow.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
It's like the ideas
keep coming too.
It's like flowing out from the
mountain top and I can't stop.
All right.
That's excellent.
Karen, my sweet,
show him the mockup.
Uh...
You know what?
That looks really good.
You see how you had to lean in on that?
Round and round...
You good, Karen? Yeah?
Yeah. Yeah.
It's fabulous.
Okay.
Just, I think it's wonderful.
Uh-huh. Excellent.
She's great. Karen is great.
And great news, man.
Uh-huh?
I hired Spyder, man.
You did?
I mean, I didn't hire Spider-Man,
I hired Spyder, man.
Isn't that inspiring, man? You hired Spyder?
It is. I'm very happy. A million ideas.
I got it. Thanks. Thanks.
Listen, did you tell Eddie?
Eddie's the head of
the design department.
Is Eddie blonde?
No. He's got dark hair,
he's got a beard.
No. Um, do you
want to do that?
Yeah. Yeah, I'll take care of that.
Okay. Great.
Thanks, man.
All right, cool. Okay.
It's a happy looking cloud in those shoes.
That's great.
SPYDER: Yeah. Well, people are
going to wear the shoes, though.
All right, Braverman.
Yeah, I'm going to see a lot more of you, man.
CORY: Don't be shy, man.
Come back later.
We'll be partying.
KAREN: Bye, Braverman.
All right, cool.
More clouds, man.
I thought you said
I was the head.
Hey, Sydney.
Hi, Jabbar.
(MIMICS EXPLOSION)
Let's go up and play.
Come on. Okay. Let's go.
What was that?
I'm so sorry
they don't get along.
Oh, no.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Well, thanks for having him.
Of course.
What time do you think
I should pick him up?
After dinner?
Is that all right?
Yeah. Cool. Okay, cool.
Thank you.
Yes.
Bye.
Hey, um, Jas.
Yeah?
Have you spoken to
Crosby at all lately?
Um...
I saw him when he dropped
Jabbar off a few days ago.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Okay, I'm sorry to...
I don't want to overstep
my bounds here,
but, um...
It's okay.
He's just really different.
I've never seen him like this.
He's really...
He's grown up all of a sudden,
so I thought that
was worth mentioning.
I'm glad for him.
But it's too bad he didn't
grow up a few weeks earlier.
Yeah.
Well, he really loves you.
I love him too.
But I'm so angry at him.
I don't think I'll ever
not be angry at him.
(SIGHS)
It's not going to happen, Julia.
I'm sorry.
I'll see you after dinner. Yeah.
Bye.
Good chicken, huh?
Um, I scored three
goals at soccer today.
That's great.
Isn't that great?
Yeah.
That's cool, but did you win?
HADDIE: Yeah, we won.
That's good. It sounds like
soccer's going really well.
Yeah. Pretty good.
Good.
MAX: Hey, did you know that
on average 3,400,065 chickens
are slaughtered daily just to
meet the demands of the world.
Max, don't talk about that
when you're eating chicken.
It's not going to bring
the chicken back to life.
Where'd you read that?
The Annual Farming Report.
Hmm, interesting.
MAX: And, also, it says that chickens
with red earlobes lay brown eggs
and chickens with white
earlobes lay white eggs.
A lot of good facts.
MAX: So, Haddie scored
three times today.
I can't believe, I mean,
I've never even scored once
and Haddie scored
three times in one day.
That's amazing.
(ROCK SONG PLAYING)
(MOANING)
It's a little weird we're
doing this in here.
My family's watching
or something.
That's kind of hot, actually.
(LAUGHS)
Oh, my God, wait.
What time is it?
What? I don't know.
What? I have to go.
Oh, my God.
You have to go? Why?
I'm late.
I have a stupid dinner thingy
that I promised my mom
I would go and...
All right, that's fine.
Okay, sorry, sorry.
No, no, it's cool.
Wait. I will call you and
I'll come over later. Okay.
But, um, I think that, um...
You drove me.
I need you to drive.
I should drive.
Yeah, yeah, I drove. Let's go.
Come on. Come on.
(SIGHS)
What?
I know. I'm sorry.
It's a crazy story.
It's kind of a funny story.
You don't write, you don't
call, you don't send flowers.
I'm very sorry.
Listen, listen.
My friend, Gary, took
me to the wrong place.
Who's Gary? Just my friend.
So we were like...
Do you have
a new special friend?
No. Just a friend.
Listen.
(LAUGHS) Okay.
And he thought he knew where it was
and he thought it was this place
across the street and we went in there
and there was like a
Quinceanera or something.
A what? What's that?
And it was, like, people with peasant dresses
and it's like a birthday party and
everyone's singing in Spanish.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Oh, no.
And there's a cake and it had
a picture of this girl...
It was so weird.
But, anyway, I thought you
were going to be in there
and you weren't in there.
It was so weird. You would have loved it.
I wish you could have seen it.
Oh, my God.
It was... Whoo!
(CONTINUES LAUGHING)
(LAUGHS)
What kind of high are you?
(CHUCKLES)
Here we go.
I don't think it's
just pot, is it?
It's really not that
big of a deal, okay?
You're in trouble.
Okay, I'm in big trouble.
We're going to buzzkill town.
We're leaving.
I'm not going.
I'm eating.
Hey, you're coming
with me right now.
You've got two minutes
to come to the car.
That's not even enough
time for oysters. Come on.
Hey, Dad.
Hey.
The showerhead
is leaking again.
Thanks for telling me.
I'll take care of it.
Okay, good morning.
Yep. Good morning.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
KRISTINA: Haddie?
Yeah. (SIGHS)
Can I come in, honey?
Sure.
(HADDIE SNIFFLES)
Hi.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Hi. Listen, I'm sorry about
everything with dad.
I know things are
tense and awkward.
It's fine I just wish that
I hadn't told you.
Honey, I'm so glad
that you told me.
Are you kidding me?
Well, I wish I didn't.
I wish I didn't and
I don't understand why,
like, every interaction that I have
with Dad is like him just judging me.
He's not judging you at all.
He won't even look at me.
Yeah, well, it feels like that...
He's not.
And it just makes me feel sad.
Honey, nobody's judging you.
I mean, you're our
baby, you know?
We wish that you would have waited.
That's all.
But I promise you
he'll come around.
I promise.
Come here.
Give me a hug.
I love you.
I love you too.
I lied.
About what?
I wasn't 22.
I was...
I was 15.
Oh!
It was awful.
It was with this boy named Roy.
Anyway, I thought I
was in love with him
and he went to school
the next day
and told everybody
that we did it.
And it was just awful.
Oh, God.
I know.
I'm just happy that it
was different for you.
Well, what did you
guys talk about?
You didn't tell her about
the house, did you?
No. I didn't tell her
about the house.
We weren't talking about that at all.
I wouldn't do that to you.
Well, then why are you looking
at me like my dog was run over?
(SIGHS)
Well, you know,
she's not exactly on
the same page as you.
I think you should start
to consider what...
Yeah, well, listen, you know, a
relationship's between two people,
so I don't know if you
should be getting involved.
Crosby, I have a relationship.
I know, I mean, I'm not a
complete idiot on this subject.
Yeah, I know you have
a relationship,
but, you know, it might just be that
I know more about Jasmine than you.
Crosby, she doesn't
want to be with you.
She said it's not
going to happen.
Yeah, no kidding, Julia.
What do you think I'm doing here?
I sold my houseboat and my motorcycle
and bought this piece of crap house.
There's no options left.
This is the Hail Mary pass.
There's no time left.
But you know what?
Sometimes Hail Mary passes work.
And they're amazing
when they do.
Everyone cheers and people win.
Look, it's a long shot,
I recognize that,
but it might just work.
And I have to believe
it might work
so please just let me
believe that.
Hi.
Hey.
What?
You need to talk to her.
She thinks that you're completely angry with her.
I did talk to her.
Okay, she's humiliated.
Humiliated? Why?
You're not talking
to her, Adam.
I am talking to her.
You haven't said two words
to the girl the whole week.
It's just like,
I'm having to defend you.
I don't know what to say
to her, Kristina, okay?
You knew that
this day would come.
You said it was okay
for them to date.
I didn't think it was going
to come this fast. Adam.
What am I supposed to do?
Give her a high five and
congratulate her for having sex?
That's not what I'm saying.
You're shutting
her out completely.
I don't know what to say to
her, Kristina. I'm sorry.
Thanks, Adam.
(DOOR CLOSES)
What else has she told you?
I don't know. I...
Do you really not know? No.
When you say drugs,
do you mean just pot?
I don't know. I don't know.
She hasn't talked to me about that.
What has she told you?
All I know is it's some
guy at Julia's office.
Who is Gary?
Who is that? No way.
Oh, my God, that's him.
Is that him?
Hello? Yeah.
No, this is her brother.
Um, no, I don't think she
needs a ride, actually.
No, she doesn't.
Yeah. All right,
man. Later.
What the hell are you doing?
That's my phone!
I'm not going to let you go out
with some guy and do drugs!
That's my phone!
I told you that in privacy!
Don't you guys fight!
It's your fault!
You're the one who's
causing all of this!
Okay! What is this?
This is everything.
We're worried about you.
Are you going through my stuff?
SARAH: No.
What's wrong with you?
This is my stuff.
It doesn't...
What's in here?
Now I have to question everything.
It's mints, you idiot!
Don't call me an idiot!
You're not going anywhere! Give me that!
Give me my mints!
Where do you think you're going!
Come back here!
Come back here!
You're going to school!
I'm going out!
Great.
So that's your plan?
You're not going to finish high school,
you're not going to go to college.
That's my big plan, okay?
Oh, this must be Gary.
I'm not letting you leave
with this loser!
Stop! Stop! Don't put your...
Get back here!
Leave me alone! Stop!
What the hell's wrong with you?
DREW: What are you guys doing?
Don't attack me, you crazy ***!
Amber, what are you...
Mom, are you okay?
AMBER: You just attacked me.
Go! Go! Are you all right?
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) SARAH: I just
don't know what else to do.
I've called 15 times now.
And I just want to hear
that you're okay.
That's all. I just want to hear
that you're okay. I love you.
Hi. This is really not a good time.
More important.
You know how people put off
what's right in front of them
because they're so terrified
they think they're
going to die?
I do. Yes.
The new title of the play,
A Story For Another Day.
I like it. That's great.
Let me call you later.
Okay. All right.
Okay.
Well, one more little thing.
They want us.
We're in.
Who?
Mr. Kraft.
The Artistic Director.
Hello. He liked it.
We're in the reading series.
He liked it?
Yeah. He liked it.
Okay, okay. Um...
At some future date, you're going
to want to give me a present.
Don't think about flowers. Okay.
Think about single malt whiskey.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It was terrible.
It was brutal. Mmm-hmm.
And she just took off with the guy?
Yeah.
I've seen that before.
Have you called her? No.
Adam, this is not the same thing.
This is something else.
I mean,
honestly, there's a part of me
that wonders if she'll come back.
Look, Sarah, they're teenagers,
this is what they do.
They push against us,
they rebel, you know?
When I think about the crap
that Haddie's pulled this year.
No offense, Adam, but that
stuff is so much more normal.
I mean, you know she's dating a guy.
Oh, you know, so.
Well, actually, Haddie and Alex are
doing a lot more than dating now.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, well.
She's 16 years old, she's having sex
and there's nothing I can do about it.
You know I want to be able to
say something to her about it
and I don't know what to say.
Is she happy?
Come on, Sarah, please
don't ask me that.
Yeah, she's happy.
She's real satisfied.
That's not what I mean.
I just mean at least they love each other
and she's being
honest with you.
It's a lot better than
the way Amber started.
Nice, thanks for the plate.
(SIGHS)
You know, it was so nice when she
was a little kid and I could just
sit with her and have a peanut
butter and jelly sandwich
and make faces at her
and make her laugh.
Nice and simple.
I know it doesn't help now, but
I realize I had made a mistake.
I don't think so.
I let her tell me when she
was ready to grow up and
I should have fought her more.
Look, I've been dealing with
this stuff with Haddie,
every time I get into a
conflict with her, engage,
leads nowhere.
It seems like the best thing I can
do is just to give her space.
No.
You don't give them space.
Just when they tell you
they don't need you anymore
is exactly when they
need you the most.
You have to fight it.
You have to show up.
It's when they're
pushing you away,
it's when they're telling
you they know better,
that's when you
have to show up.
Now, I'm afraid it's too late.
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)
HADDIE: My Dad's here.
I guess he's here to pick me up.
I'll see you guys.
What are you doing?
Hey.
I just took off work early.
I wanted to pick you up.
What happened to your elbow there?
Oh, yeah.
You're bleeding, kiddo.
Let me get the first aid kit.
Dad.
Yeah?
You don't have to. It's a tiny thing.
Well, I got it right here!
No, no, no.
We'll just clean it up at home.
It's just like
dried goopy blood.
Yeah, we don't want that to
get infected, all right?
It doesn't seem like
it would, but, yeah.
Hold that for me.
I'll take care of that.
This is unnecessary.
Honestly, it's like a teeny guy right there.
No, no, you don't want that
flesh-eating bacteria to get in there.
Okay.
All right?
Just, uh...
Just don't ever want you
to get hurt, Haddie.
That's all.
Okay.
All right?
Yeah.
You want to get an ice
cream or something?
Yeah!
Yeah?
Let's do it.
Let's go to the movies. Can we?
What? Yeah. I got time for that.
I would love that.
And she makes me feel like
my whole life is over
because, you know,
I'm not going to college.
There's other
options, you know?
I don't just have to
go to college.
Well, not everyone goes to college.
It's not for everybody.
No, I mean, like, I could
play music or traveling.
Yeah, traveling.
I wish I had traveled,
I haven't even
left the country before.
Me either.
I want to go.
Well, you know what?
We should just go. Go to Europe.
I mean, it's not a bad idea.
Mmm. Go to Spain, you know?
Spain?
Yeah. You could be, like, a,
you know, a flamenco dancer
with a flower in your hair.
Yes, I could.
I can be a matador,
you know what I mean?
Why not?
That does sound kind of funny.
