00:00:10,497 --> 00:00:11,730
He's back.

♫ and you may find yourself
living in a shotgun shack ♫

3
00:00:20,373 --> 00:00:24,410

10

11
00:00:46,199 --> 00:00:47,900

♫ once in a lifetime ♫

15
00:00:56,543 --> 00:00:59,211
So your mom said you wanted
to know about your old man.

16
00:01:02,015 --> 00:01:03,582
You know what,
let's start with you.

17
00:01:03,617 --> 00:01:05,684
- Are you married?
- No.

18
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:08,153
Hmm. Okay.
You seeing anyone?

19
00:01:08,188 --> 00:01:11,490
- Mm. Mm-mmm.
- Hmm. Keeping it loose.

20
00:01:11,524 --> 00:01:12,491
I got you.

21
00:01:12,525 --> 00:01:13,826
You know, if you're having trouble

22
00:01:13,860 --> 00:01:15,861
meeting ladies, it could be your car.

23
00:01:15,895 --> 00:01:19,331
- What kind of car do you drive?
- I don't have a car.

24
00:01:19,366 --> 00:01:21,967
You don't--hmm.
You have your license, right?

25
00:01:22,002 --> 00:01:27,239
- License?
- Um...

26
00:01:27,274 --> 00:01:30,643
Those were my three kid jokes.
I'm all out of material.

27
00:01:30,677 --> 00:01:35,281
Well, um... oh, there's Mom.

28
00:01:35,315 --> 00:01:39,118
Hi, Mom. It's going great.

29
00:01:39,152 --> 00:01:43,322
This is fun though.
You like pancakes?

30
00:01:43,356 --> 00:01:46,692
No. I like waffles better.

31
00:01:46,726 --> 00:01:48,694
Okay, let's move it, people.
Come on.

32
00:01:48,728 --> 00:01:50,296
I have a meeting. Please.

33
00:01:50,330 --> 00:01:51,730
Dad said he could've tooken me.

34
00:01:51,765 --> 00:01:55,801
Oh, sweetie, I want
to drive you, all right?

35
00:01:55,835 --> 00:01:59,004
We're bonding. What the fudge!

36
00:01:59,039 --> 00:02:02,074
- Mom!
- Fudge! Fudge, sweetie.

37
00:02:02,108 --> 00:02:04,543
- Oh, my gosh.
- Come on, sweetheart.

38
00:02:04,577 --> 00:02:08,113
Oh, yeah. Please, by all
means take your time.

39
00:02:08,148 --> 00:02:11,016
Go for it. I only have a meeting
with a Supreme Court Judge so...

40
00:02:11,051 --> 00:02:13,452
Oh, yeah, sure.

41
00:02:13,486 --> 00:02:16,088
Yeah, make sure she has her lunchbox.
Great.

42
00:02:16,122 --> 00:02:18,657
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Are you kidding me?

43
00:02:18,692 --> 00:02:19,825
- No.
- Mommy.

44
00:02:19,859 --> 00:02:21,894
- No.
- Who are you talking to?

45
00:02:21,928 --> 00:02:23,662
Sweetie, you can learn from this.

46
00:02:23,697 --> 00:02:26,332
This is a <i>bad</i> person.

47
00:02:26,366 --> 00:02:27,599
We live in a nation of laws,

48
00:02:27,634 --> 00:02:29,468
and when someone doesn't
follow those laws,

49
00:02:29,502 --> 00:02:32,738
society breaks down.

50
00:02:47,020 --> 00:02:50,589
This is so great. So special.

51
00:02:50,623 --> 00:02:54,259
It's your first day...
in the new place.

52
00:02:54,294 --> 00:02:58,263
And it's just... gonna be...

53
00:02:58,298 --> 00:03:01,600
all brand-new
and different than the...

54
00:03:01,634 --> 00:03:02,968
- Mom...
- What are you doing?

55
00:03:03,002 --> 00:03:04,470
I don't know.
It was something I was trying.

56
00:03:04,504 --> 00:03:05,637
- No?
- Mm-mmm.

57
00:03:05,672 --> 00:03:09,375
All right. Good-bye.
I love you. Okay.

58
00:03:09,409 --> 00:03:13,112
You can be the best!
I believe in you.

59
00:03:13,146 --> 00:03:14,947
Just be you!

78
00:04:04,047 --> 00:04:05,147
Let's go. Let's hit it.

79
00:04:05,181 --> 00:04:07,315
- Hey, did you brush your teeth?
- Hey, Max.

80
00:04:07,549 --> 00:04:09,284
- Think he did.
- Max.

81
00:04:09,318 --> 00:04:11,252
- Max, we had a deal, remember?
- Okay. Okay.

82
00:04:11,287 --> 00:04:14,122
Regular clothes to school,
but the pirate costume at home.

83
00:04:14,156 --> 00:04:16,090
- I changed my mind.
- Well, I didn't, okay?

84
00:04:16,125 --> 00:04:18,126
- Mom said.
- Honey, I'm sorry.

85
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,994
- "Mom said."
- We don't have time to change. Okay?

86
00:04:20,028 --> 00:04:21,162
I'm--he was sad.

87
00:04:21,196 --> 00:04:22,964
Well, he can't keep going
to school like that, okay?

88
00:04:22,998 --> 00:04:24,132
Kids are going to think he's a freak.

89
00:04:24,166 --> 00:04:25,400
How's he gonna make any friends?

90
00:04:25,434 --> 00:04:27,001
Now, I knew kids like that
when I was at school.

91
00:04:27,036 --> 00:04:28,436
Once you're a freak,
you're always a freak.

92
00:04:28,470 --> 00:04:29,637
I get it.
Believe me. I know.

93
00:04:29,672 --> 00:04:31,239
I deal with this
every single day, okay?

94
00:04:31,273 --> 00:04:33,007
I've tried bribing him,
pleading with him,

95
00:04:33,042 --> 00:04:34,709
The bugs, buying him bugs,
and cookies and food.

96
00:04:34,743 --> 00:04:36,077
- I'm sorry.
- Okay.

97
00:04:36,111 --> 00:04:37,679
Okay? I just want
to get him out of that thing.

98
00:04:37,713 --> 00:04:39,247
- That's all.
- I do too.

99
00:04:39,281 --> 00:04:41,082
- All right. I love you.
- I love you too.

100
00:04:41,116 --> 00:04:43,451
Oh, wait, honey, you know,
maybe the Lessings...

101
00:04:43,485 --> 00:04:44,452
they'll have some ideas.

102
00:04:44,486 --> 00:04:45,753
Oh, God. The Lessings?
Is that tonight?

103
00:04:45,788 --> 00:04:47,388
Yeah, it's tonight.
I told you yesterday.

104
00:04:47,423 --> 00:04:49,490
They're really good people.
They have a son with Asperger's.

105
00:04:49,525 --> 00:04:51,259
- Well, it's not dinner, is it?
- No.

106
00:04:51,293 --> 00:04:52,627
Remember that time we went over there

107
00:04:52,661 --> 00:04:54,095
- and they made dinner?
- Yeah.

108
00:04:54,129 --> 00:04:55,897
They didn't preheat the
oven until we'd been there

109
00:04:55,931 --> 00:04:57,632
for three and a half hours.
It was unconscionable.

110
00:04:57,666 --> 00:04:59,133
I felt like I was being held captive.

111
00:04:59,168 --> 00:05:00,935
- I can't go through that again.
- Honey, say good-bye.

112
00:05:00,969 --> 00:05:02,070
- Good-bye.
- To your son.

113
00:05:02,104 --> 00:05:04,806
I know. Good-bye, buddy.
I love you.

114
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:06,774
I love you so much, babe. See you.

115
00:05:06,809 --> 00:05:07,975
I love you too.

116
00:05:08,010 --> 00:05:09,911
Hey, you know, we don't
even know for sure

117
00:05:09,945 --> 00:05:11,145
that he has Asperger's.

118
00:05:11,180 --> 00:05:13,548
- I know.
- He's not the Lessing kid.

119
00:05:13,582 --> 00:05:15,216
I know.

120
00:05:21,123 --> 00:05:23,424
That was terrific.

121
00:05:23,459 --> 00:05:27,695
So...

122
00:05:27,730 --> 00:05:28,896
It's been a while, Crosby.

123
00:05:28,931 --> 00:05:32,533
Yeah. Like, uh, five years
and nine months a while.

124
00:05:32,568 --> 00:05:34,736
I guess.

125
00:05:34,770 --> 00:05:38,740
Hey, I-I hate to ask you this,
but, um, you're sure

126
00:05:38,774 --> 00:05:41,376
that he's mine, yeah?

127
00:05:41,410 --> 00:05:44,612
Yeah. I'm--I'm pretty sure.

128
00:05:44,646 --> 00:05:47,048
You didn't have, like,
relations with anyone else

129
00:05:47,082 --> 00:05:48,116
during that same period?

130
00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:50,251
- He's yours.
- Okay.

131
00:05:50,285 --> 00:05:51,953
Well, hey, if you guys
are in town again,

132
00:05:51,987 --> 00:05:53,721
you know, we should do this again.

133
00:05:53,756 --> 00:05:55,089
Well, um...

134
00:05:55,124 --> 00:05:58,526
actually, we moved back.

135
00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,994
- You--really?
- Yeah.

136
00:06:00,028 --> 00:06:01,496
- Really?
- Yeah.

137
00:06:01,530 --> 00:06:02,764
'cause in your e-mail,

138
00:06:02,798 --> 00:06:05,333
you said that you were
just coming to town,

139
00:06:05,367 --> 00:06:08,069
not that you had moved back...

140
00:06:08,103 --> 00:06:11,305
with my kid.

141
00:06:11,340 --> 00:06:14,208
Maybe you don't remember
that I called you...

142
00:06:14,243 --> 00:06:18,746
many times.

143
00:06:18,781 --> 00:06:21,716
Crosby, Jabbar is starting
to get to that age

144
00:06:21,750 --> 00:06:23,785
where he's asking about his dad.

145
00:06:23,819 --> 00:06:25,219
I would love it

146
00:06:25,254 --> 00:06:30,892
if the two of you
developed a relationship.

147
00:06:30,926 --> 00:06:33,227
- Okay. Yeah.
- Yeah?

148
00:06:33,262 --> 00:06:34,562
Yeah. Absolutely.

149
00:06:34,596 --> 00:06:36,197
Maybe you guys can get together

150
00:06:36,231 --> 00:06:37,565
an afternoon this weekend.

151
00:06:37,599 --> 00:06:38,533
- This weekend.
- Yeah.

152
00:06:38,567 --> 00:06:40,001
The one coming up this weekend?

153
00:06:40,035 --> 00:06:43,237
- Yeah, that one.
- Yeah. Um...

154
00:06:43,272 --> 00:06:44,705
man, that sounds really good.

155
00:06:44,740 --> 00:06:48,009
But, um, I'm actually
going out of town this weekend.

156
00:06:48,043 --> 00:06:49,944
Oh.

157
00:07:02,925 --> 00:07:05,760
- What?
- Nothing.

158
00:07:10,098 --> 00:07:11,766
- Hmm.
- Dad!

159
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:12,900
Well, honey, I mean,

160
00:07:12,935 --> 00:07:14,502
you didn't move all the
way back to Berkeley

161
00:07:14,536 --> 00:07:17,238
to serve up a bunch of
whiskey sours to alcoholics.

162
00:07:17,272 --> 00:07:19,373
You should be on the other
side of that equation.

163
00:07:19,408 --> 00:07:21,642
Okay. I should...
I should be an alcoholic?

164
00:07:21,677 --> 00:07:22,810
- No.
- No.

165
00:07:22,845 --> 00:07:25,880
- You should be an executive.
- Come on, Zeek.

166
00:07:25,914 --> 00:07:29,450
Leave her alone.
She loves bartending.

167
00:07:29,485 --> 00:07:31,986
- Right, sweetie?
- Yes, mother, it completes me.

168
00:07:32,020 --> 00:07:34,155
Well, never mind.
You raised two kids on it.

169
00:07:34,189 --> 00:07:35,756
It's a good living.

170
00:07:35,791 --> 00:07:38,059
You should be in advertising and PR.

171
00:07:38,093 --> 00:07:39,093
I mean, come on.

172
00:07:39,127 --> 00:07:40,595
You did all of the marketing and design

173
00:07:40,629 --> 00:07:42,830
for your ex-husband's band.

174
00:07:42,865 --> 00:07:44,432
If he hadn't thrown his
career in the toilet--

175
00:07:44,466 --> 00:07:46,601
Zeek, come on. Leave her alone.

176
00:07:46,635 --> 00:07:48,703
Sarah knows what she's capable of.

177
00:07:48,737 --> 00:07:52,607
- What's that supposed to mean?
- Um, that you know yourself.

178
00:07:52,641 --> 00:07:54,976
- And my limits?
- I meant it in a good way.

179
00:07:55,010 --> 00:07:56,444
Let me tell the two of you something.

180
00:07:56,478 --> 00:07:58,713
It's not too late to learn
some parenting skills, okay?

181
00:07:58,747 --> 00:08:00,047
Both of you.

182
00:08:00,082 --> 00:08:01,349
You can take a class or read a book.

183
00:08:01,383 --> 00:08:03,150
Well, here's some...no, this is a good one.

184
00:08:03,185 --> 00:08:06,354
"Assistant To Creative
Executive At Pantheon Design."

185
00:08:06,388 --> 00:08:09,290
"Someone understands the ad industry.
Self-starter."

186
00:08:09,324 --> 00:08:12,493
I mean, that has got Sarah
Braverman written all over it.

187
00:08:12,528 --> 00:08:13,794
Get on that.

188
00:08:13,829 --> 00:08:15,296
Dad, I'm pretty sure
they're not looking

189
00:08:15,330 --> 00:08:17,064
for a 38-year-old single mom
who's been a bartender

190
00:08:17,099 --> 00:08:18,366
for 10 years.

191
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,268
They're looking for a
brilliant designer cheap.

192
00:08:20,302 --> 00:08:21,469
That's you.

193
00:08:21,503 --> 00:08:23,504
I can't do anything with
you standing there.

194
00:08:23,539 --> 00:08:24,906
- Why not?
- Because you're hovering.

195
00:08:24,940 --> 00:08:27,308
- I'm not hovering.
- Yeah. You--you hover.

196
00:08:27,342 --> 00:08:29,176
I don't hover. This is not hovering.

197
00:08:29,211 --> 00:08:31,345
I'm way over...this is hovering, like this.

198
00:08:31,380 --> 00:08:33,047
Get going now.

199
00:08:48,030 --> 00:08:50,131
- I didn't even see this.
- 'scuse me.

200
00:08:57,105 --> 00:09:01,742
- Hey. Are you new?
- Um, yeah.

201
00:09:01,777 --> 00:09:05,980
- I just moved to town.
- Amber Holt?

202
00:09:06,014 --> 00:09:08,983
- Yeah.
- I'm Principal Gomez.

203
00:09:09,017 --> 00:09:10,751
Um...

204
00:09:10,786 --> 00:09:12,788
Can we step outside for a second?

205
00:09:21,496 --> 00:09:22,763
We've reviewed your transfer files

206
00:09:22,798 --> 00:09:24,365
from your previous school in Fresno,

207
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:26,067
which indicate you don't
have enough credits

208
00:09:26,101 --> 00:09:27,735
to qualify as a junior.

209
00:09:27,769 --> 00:09:28,769
What?

210
00:09:28,804 --> 00:09:30,237
We think you'll be more successful

211
00:09:30,272 --> 00:09:32,006
starting here at Roosevelt
as a sophomore.

212
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,909
You're...you're holding me back?

213
00:09:34,943 --> 00:09:36,510
Well, I wouldn't look at it like that.

214
00:09:36,545 --> 00:09:39,780
No. No. I'm sorry.
There's...there's no way.

215
00:09:39,815 --> 00:09:40,915
Absolutely not.

216
00:09:40,949 --> 00:09:43,951
I'm not gonna spend another
year of my life here.

217
00:09:43,986 --> 00:09:46,654
I can't be older than everybody else.

218
00:09:46,688 --> 00:09:49,390
Look, please. Please just...
just give me a chance.

219
00:09:49,424 --> 00:09:50,591
I'm really sorry, Amber.

220
00:09:50,626 --> 00:09:52,562
There's really no other choice here.

221
00:10:27,763 --> 00:10:29,797
- Hey, son.
- Dad.

222
00:10:29,831 --> 00:10:32,466
- Bad time?
- Never.

223
00:10:32,501 --> 00:10:37,138
Great. So how's the
big "re-org" coming?

224
00:10:37,172 --> 00:10:39,173
Well, Dad, they don't
call it a re-org.

225
00:10:39,207 --> 00:10:40,474
The company's expanding.

226
00:10:40,509 --> 00:10:42,276
What do you need?
Do you need some new sneakers?

227
00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:43,811
No. I just came here
to visit my son

228
00:10:43,845 --> 00:10:46,247
for no other reason
than to visit my son.

229
00:10:46,281 --> 00:10:47,448
You got these in a 12?

230
00:10:47,482 --> 00:10:48,816
I will call the warehouse.

231
00:10:48,850 --> 00:10:51,786
You remember, uh, the work that,
uh, your sister Sarah did

232
00:10:51,820 --> 00:10:53,354
for her ex-husband Seth's rock band?

233
00:10:53,388 --> 00:10:55,423
Man, I hated that guy. Did you like him?

234
00:10:55,457 --> 00:10:56,857
Well, that...that was a while ago.

235
00:10:56,892 --> 00:10:58,359
Well, she did all the CD covers, Adam.

236
00:10:58,393 --> 00:11:00,127
All the posters for the concerts.

237
00:11:00,162 --> 00:11:02,730
Remember the one she did
with the doves and the stars?

238
00:11:02,764 --> 00:11:04,198
- That was dynamite.
- Yeah. Yeah.

239
00:11:04,232 --> 00:11:06,133
- Better than good.
- Uh-huh.

240
00:11:06,168 --> 00:11:09,537
Anyway, she and I were on this, uh,

241
00:11:09,571 --> 00:11:10,638
Chuck's list the other day.

242
00:11:10,672 --> 00:11:11,839
- Craigslist.
- Yeah.

243
00:11:11,873 --> 00:11:13,107
So we saw this thing

244
00:11:13,141 --> 00:11:15,643
on a Pantheon Design website thingy.

245
00:11:15,677 --> 00:11:19,280
And I remembered that they did
some work for you once, right?

246
00:11:19,314 --> 00:11:20,298
Uh-huh.

247
00:11:20,416 --> 00:11:21,849
Yeah, the fella's name is Edwin Chung.

248
00:11:21,883 --> 00:11:23,284
- You know him?
- No.

249
00:11:23,318 --> 00:11:25,252
- I reckon he's a Chinese fella.
- I don't know him.

250
00:11:25,287 --> 00:11:27,888
What would be great
is if you'd call him

251
00:11:27,923 --> 00:11:29,790
on your sister's behalf,
your new friend Edwin,

252
00:11:29,825 --> 00:11:30,791
and, you know...

253
00:11:30,826 --> 00:11:31,892
Dad, Pantheon is a huge house.

254
00:11:31,927 --> 00:11:33,360
People are dying to work there.

255
00:11:33,395 --> 00:11:35,429
Look, Sarah's been working
in a bar the last 15 years.

256
00:11:35,464 --> 00:11:37,598
Come on, Adam. She's your sister.

257
00:11:37,632 --> 00:11:39,533
I mean, call, huh? What's the problem?

258
00:11:39,568 --> 00:11:42,837
Okay. All right. I'll call him.

259
00:11:42,871 --> 00:11:45,940
- Good.
- Anything else?

260
00:11:45,974 --> 00:11:47,742
How's my grandson doing?
What's the plan?

261
00:11:47,776 --> 00:11:49,877
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know.

262
00:11:49,911 --> 00:11:54,448
But, Sonny, you got to have a plan, kid.

263
00:11:54,483 --> 00:11:55,883
- You can do it.
- Yeah.

264
00:11:55,917 --> 00:11:58,085
It's just a plan.
Hey, let's get some shoes.

265
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,286
Let's get some shoes.

266
00:12:02,958 --> 00:12:05,593
Hey, Joel, did you,
um, preheat the oven?

267
00:12:05,627 --> 00:12:08,295
'cause we have to make
cookies for the fundraiser.

268
00:12:08,330 --> 00:12:12,299
Sydney?

269
00:12:12,334 --> 00:12:15,302
- Hello.
- Hi, you must be Julia.

270
00:12:15,337 --> 00:12:17,538
- You're here!
- I live here.

271
00:12:17,572 --> 00:12:18,739
- This is Racquel.
- Hi.

272
00:12:18,774 --> 00:12:19,874
Hi.

273
00:12:19,908 --> 00:12:21,475
Racquel is co-chairing the fundraiser with me.

274
00:12:21,510 --> 00:12:24,111
We're, uh, we're, uh,
wrapping and we're baking.

275
00:12:24,146 --> 00:12:25,679
Yeah, well, the school needs money.

276
00:12:25,714 --> 00:12:27,681
And you know what gets
hit first is the arts.

277
00:12:27,716 --> 00:12:29,984
I mean, you know that the fourth
and fifth grade orchestra

278
00:12:30,018 --> 00:12:31,952
program is just the tip of the iceberg.

279
00:12:31,987 --> 00:12:33,220
Wow.

280
00:12:33,255 --> 00:12:35,389
Oh, the preservatives in
those things are terrible.

281
00:12:35,423 --> 00:12:39,693
Oh. Yeah. No, uh, normally,
I bake them from scratch.

282
00:12:39,728 --> 00:12:41,829
Oh, yeah.
We do a ton of baking around here.

283
00:12:41,863 --> 00:12:44,665
We had a most amazing
time making cookies,

284
00:12:44,699 --> 00:12:45,599
didn't we, girls?

285
00:12:45,634 --> 00:12:47,668
- Oh, yeah!
- Mm-hmm.

286
00:12:47,702 --> 00:12:49,036
- Hi.
- Hi.

287
00:12:49,070 --> 00:12:52,206
Oh, hey, Joelskies tells
me you're a lawyer.

288
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,176
"Joelskies" is correct. Yeah, I am.

289
00:12:55,210 --> 00:12:56,744
- That's great.
- Thanks.

290
00:12:56,778 --> 00:12:58,212
There's a dad in Mrs.
Abramar's class

291
00:12:58,246 --> 00:12:59,446
who's a lawyer.

292
00:12:59,481 --> 00:13:02,016
He sold 20 books of raffle
tickets in one afternoon.

293
00:13:02,050 --> 00:13:04,919
Here. I'm gonna give you ten,
you know, just to start out.

294
00:13:04,953 --> 00:13:06,387
You know, I'm gonna say
hi to my daughter.

295
00:13:06,421 --> 00:13:08,455
Oh, no. You know what, we're going.
No, come on.

296
00:13:08,490 --> 00:13:09,657
Harmony, honey, we're going.

297
00:13:09,691 --> 00:13:11,125
We're gonna let Sydney see her mommy.

298
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:12,593
She hardly ever gets to see her.

299
00:13:12,627 --> 00:13:14,161
Don't forget your worry beads, sweetheart.

300
00:13:14,196 --> 00:13:16,564
We're Buddhists.

301
00:13:16,598 --> 00:13:18,566
Here you go. Okay, we're going.

302
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:19,733
- Joel.
- Hey.

303
00:13:19,768 --> 00:13:23,737
- Oh. You are so amazing.
- Oh. All righty.

304
00:13:23,772 --> 00:13:26,240
And Sydney, sweetheart,
I'll see you tomorrow.

305
00:13:26,274 --> 00:13:28,909
<i>- Wo ai ni.
- Wo ye ai ni.</i>

306
00:13:28,944 --> 00:13:31,946
Oh. I just said "I love you"
to her in Mandarin,

307
00:13:31,980 --> 00:13:34,081
and she said
"I love you too."

308
00:13:34,115 --> 00:13:36,617
Oh. Okay.

309
00:13:36,651 --> 00:13:38,385
- All righty, girls.
- Okay, bye.

310
00:13:38,420 --> 00:13:39,987
- Bye.
- Bye-bye.

311
00:13:40,021 --> 00:13:41,655
- See you, girls.
- Bye.

312
00:13:41,690 --> 00:13:42,923
- Hey.
- Hi.

313
00:13:42,958 --> 00:13:45,059
Your life is about to change forever.

314
00:13:45,093 --> 00:13:46,927
It's all about accepting, not resisting.

315
00:13:46,962 --> 00:13:48,829
If you put in the work,
they'll do great.

316
00:13:48,864 --> 00:13:52,466
- Noel is doing fantastic.
- Well, Max hasn't...

317
00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:55,202
hasn't even been diagnosed yet
so we're...we're not even sure

318
00:13:55,237 --> 00:13:56,470
if he has Asperger's.

319
00:13:56,504 --> 00:13:58,205
- Rah!
- Well, denial's very common.

320
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,673
So what have you guys done so far?

321
00:13:59,708 --> 00:14:01,175
Have you changed Max's diet yet?

322
00:14:01,209 --> 00:14:03,644
- Um...
- We need to change his diet?

323
00:14:03,678 --> 00:14:05,112
Oh, God, yes. Gluten-free.

324
00:14:05,146 --> 00:14:06,747
No wheat. No sugar. No chemicals.

325
00:14:06,781 --> 00:14:08,115
- Casein-free too.
- What's casein?

326
00:14:08,149 --> 00:14:09,183
I don't know.

327
00:14:09,217 --> 00:14:10,918
We have a nutritionist
that you are gonna love.

328
00:14:10,952 --> 00:14:12,253
- Philly, get the cards.
- Okay.

329
00:14:12,287 --> 00:14:14,021
Good. You're also going
to need an OT and a PT.

330
00:14:14,055 --> 00:14:15,856
A PT?
I don't know what a PT is.

331
00:14:15,891 --> 00:14:17,658
A PT's a physical therapist.

332
00:14:17,692 --> 00:14:18,959
- There you go.
- Thank you, lover.

333
00:14:18,994 --> 00:14:21,128
Colored index cards.
They're a lifesaver.

334
00:14:21,162 --> 00:14:22,563
There is so much to keep track of.

335
00:14:22,597 --> 00:14:24,698
Ah! Our entire lives
are on these cards.

336
00:14:24,733 --> 00:14:27,067
Red is diet. Yellow is therapies.

337
00:14:27,102 --> 00:14:29,136
Green is meds. Blue is aides and respite.

338
00:14:29,170 --> 00:14:31,705
- Don't forget about pink.
- Oh, my God. Pink.

339
00:14:31,740 --> 00:14:32,740
Pink is our sex life.

340
00:14:32,774 --> 00:14:33,774
If we didn't have a card for it,

341
00:14:33,808 --> 00:14:35,042
it would go straight into the crapper,

342
00:14:35,076 --> 00:14:36,343
with everything that's going on.

343
00:14:36,378 --> 00:14:37,478
Hey, isn't it Tuesday?

344
00:14:37,512 --> 00:14:38,812
Oh, my God. He's an animal.

345
00:14:38,847 --> 00:14:40,180
Um, eventually-- eventually,

346
00:14:40,215 --> 00:14:41,448
you're going to need an in-house aide.

347
00:14:41,483 --> 00:14:42,549
Oh, and a behaviorist.

348
00:14:42,584 --> 00:14:43,751
I don't...what's a behaviorist?

349
00:14:43,785 --> 00:14:45,519
- I've never...
- A behavioral therapist.

350
00:14:45,553 --> 00:14:48,155
A great behavioral therapist
will change Max's life.

351
00:14:48,189 --> 00:14:50,357
Oh, they say Dr. Pelikan is the best.

352
00:14:50,392 --> 00:14:52,326
- A miracle worker.
- A behaviorist?

353
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,427
Mm-hmm.

354
00:14:53,461 --> 00:14:55,129
So, uh, he works at changing behavior.

355
00:14:55,163 --> 00:14:56,363
That could be good.

356
00:14:56,398 --> 00:14:57,431
That could help Max

357
00:14:57,465 --> 00:14:58,732
maybe get out of his pirate costume.

358
00:14:58,767 --> 00:15:00,134
- Forget about Pelikan.
- Why?

359
00:15:00,168 --> 00:15:01,869
Because no one gets in to see Pelikan.

360
00:15:01,903 --> 00:15:03,237
He's an elusive ass.

361
00:15:03,271 --> 00:15:05,205
He's like the Bob Dylan of autism.

362
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,974
You know what, I want
to give this a shot.

363
00:15:07,008 --> 00:15:09,543
I-I may have some connections.
So how do you spell that?

364
00:15:09,577 --> 00:15:11,412
- P-e-l?
- Pelikan.

365
00:15:11,446 --> 00:15:14,481
Like the bird. But with a "k".

366
00:15:14,516 --> 00:15:15,983
We made dinner. Stay for dinner.

367
00:15:16,017 --> 00:15:17,351
Stay for dinner. We already made...

368
00:15:17,385 --> 00:15:18,385
Well, we didn't make it.

369
00:15:18,420 --> 00:15:19,820
Oh, no, no. Really, we have to...

370
00:15:19,854 --> 00:15:21,555
- I got to preheat the oven.
- But it's gluten-free pasta.

371
00:15:21,589 --> 00:15:23,090
- It's really good.
- It's actually good.

372
00:15:23,124 --> 00:15:24,725
- You should get used to it.
- No, no, no.

373
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:26,293
Nonsense. You're part of the family now.

374
00:15:26,328 --> 00:15:27,561
- We're so...
- Welcome.

375
00:15:27,595 --> 00:15:29,363
- Welcome.
- Welcome to the family.

376
00:15:29,397 --> 00:15:31,932
We're happy to have you.
Sit down.

377
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,115
Okay. I sent it.

378
00:15:42,149 --> 00:15:43,583
Can you believe I got an interview?

379
00:15:43,618 --> 00:15:45,885
That's fantastic. I got your e-mail.

380
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,555
Oh. And?

381
00:15:48,589 --> 00:15:49,856
It's a little...

382
00:15:49,890 --> 00:15:51,925
I thought--I thought I
was being hot corporate.

383
00:15:51,959 --> 00:15:53,460
What...what...what do they want?

384
00:15:53,494 --> 00:15:56,529
You need to go in there
and say "Here I am".

385
00:15:56,564 --> 00:15:58,098
"I'm the only one that
could do this job."

386
00:15:58,132 --> 00:15:59,165
Well, that's a lie.

387
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,533
Everyone else could do this job but me.

388
00:16:00,568 --> 00:16:01,768
I'm not even qualified.

389
00:16:01,802 --> 00:16:03,470
Well, that's probably
not the best attitude.

390
00:16:03,504 --> 00:16:04,871
- You need to spin a little.
- I can't spin.

391
00:16:04,905 --> 00:16:07,273
I lost my spin.
I don't know how to spin.

392
00:16:07,308 --> 00:16:08,508
- Great, thanks.
- May I spin?

393
00:16:08,542 --> 00:16:09,976
- Please.
- You're a great artist.

394
00:16:10,011 --> 00:16:11,878
You've been unavailable for
a while so you're a find.

395
00:16:11,912 --> 00:16:13,046
You've been doing other things.

396
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,347
Checking my ex-husband into rehab.

397
00:16:14,382 --> 00:16:15,649
Now you're back in the East Bay

398
00:16:15,683 --> 00:16:17,250
and you're ready to pick
up where you left off.

399
00:16:17,284 --> 00:16:19,052
To move in with my parents
at an inappropriate age.

400
00:16:19,086 --> 00:16:20,253
You're not helping.

401
00:16:20,287 --> 00:16:22,555
I just can't see really
getting this job.

402
00:16:22,590 --> 00:16:24,290
They called you, didn't they?

403
00:16:24,325 --> 00:16:25,692
I know.
That's the amazing thing.

404
00:16:25,726 --> 00:16:27,827
All I did was send my
work, and they called.

405
00:16:27,862 --> 00:16:29,863
Well, that's because
they see your talent.

406
00:16:29,897 --> 00:16:30,964
That's step one.

407
00:16:30,998 --> 00:16:32,966
Step two is you look
this guy in the eye

408
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,702
and you say, "I am going
to blow your freakin' mind."

409
00:16:35,736 --> 00:16:39,439
It sounds good when you say it.

410
00:16:39,473 --> 00:16:41,374
Did you get that one?

411
00:16:41,409 --> 00:16:43,243
I think we're in the wrong store.

412
00:16:43,277 --> 00:16:47,313
Oh. Crap.

413
00:16:47,348 --> 00:16:51,251
What do you think?

414
00:16:51,285 --> 00:16:52,819
Okay, you don't like it.
I have others.

415
00:16:52,853 --> 00:16:54,721
- Let me try them on.
- No, no, no. Katie. Katie.

416
00:16:54,755 --> 00:16:57,257
Listen, um...

417
00:16:57,291 --> 00:16:59,893
I don't know if it's going
to work out this weekend.

418
00:16:59,927 --> 00:17:01,628
- What?
- I know.

419
00:17:01,662 --> 00:17:04,698
No, what? What...what...
what could've come up?

420
00:17:04,732 --> 00:17:07,801
Well, it's kind of a big deal.

421
00:17:07,835 --> 00:17:10,904
I-I don't know if I want
to go into it right now.

422
00:17:10,938 --> 00:17:14,307
Crosby, if you're back with
that bimbo waitress, Brandi,

423
00:17:14,341 --> 00:17:17,143
or that pseudo-activist,
waify actress person...

424
00:17:17,178 --> 00:17:18,878
Okay, honey, honey,
I'm not back with anyone.

425
00:17:18,913 --> 00:17:22,882
Just tell me the truth.

426
00:17:22,917 --> 00:17:25,618
Okay.

427
00:17:25,653 --> 00:17:30,356
Okay.

428
00:17:30,391 --> 00:17:33,359
We think Max has Asperger's.

429
00:17:33,394 --> 00:17:34,461
What?

430
00:17:34,495 --> 00:17:35,628
Adam and Kristina

431
00:17:35,663 --> 00:17:36,930
are just finding out about it,

432
00:17:36,964 --> 00:17:38,765
and I feel like I should
stick around this weekend

433
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:42,435
to be there for Adam and Kristina.

434
00:17:42,470 --> 00:17:45,371
And the little guy.

435
00:17:49,043 --> 00:17:53,513
It's amazing to hear
you talk like that.

436
00:17:53,547 --> 00:17:57,751
You're gonna be an
amazing father one day.

437
00:17:57,785 --> 00:18:00,687
Aw, come here.

438
00:18:00,721 --> 00:18:02,689
I totally understand if you need

439
00:18:02,723 --> 00:18:05,258
to postpone the weekend.

440
00:18:08,496 --> 00:18:10,797
You know, it...
it's not in stone though.

441
00:18:10,831 --> 00:18:13,633
And we should probably
keep that option open.

442
00:18:15,536 --> 00:18:17,537
Did you know a cockroach
can hold its breath

443
00:18:17,571 --> 00:18:19,038
for 40 minutes?

444
00:18:19,073 --> 00:18:20,673
Fascinating.

445
00:18:20,708 --> 00:18:22,909
All right, Max, I want you
to put Charlie away.

446
00:18:22,943 --> 00:18:24,110
It's dinner time.

447
00:18:24,145 --> 00:18:26,913
Cockroach can live a
month without its head.

448
00:18:26,947 --> 00:18:29,983
Okay, seriously, I'm...
I don't have an appetite.

449
00:18:30,017 --> 00:18:31,918
Haddie, it's fine.
It's not that big of a deal.

450
00:18:31,952 --> 00:18:36,489
All right, you know what?
Max, please eat your food.

451
00:18:36,524 --> 00:18:37,957
Leave the cockroach alone.

452
00:18:37,992 --> 00:18:39,159
I don't like it.

453
00:18:39,193 --> 00:18:40,560
Well, how do you know you don't like it

454
00:18:40,594 --> 00:18:41,561
if you've never tried it?

455
00:18:41,595 --> 00:18:42,529
It's not one of his foods.

456
00:18:42,563 --> 00:18:43,663
Hey, Max, sweetheart, you know,

457
00:18:43,697 --> 00:18:45,532
maybe you could earn
some TV time tonight

458
00:18:45,566 --> 00:18:46,699
by trying your food.

459
00:18:46,734 --> 00:18:48,168
I get TV after dinner anyway.

460
00:18:48,202 --> 00:18:49,302
If you don't eat your dinner

461
00:18:49,336 --> 00:18:50,336
then you won't get TV time.

462
00:18:50,371 --> 00:18:51,538
It's not fair.

463
00:18:51,572 --> 00:18:53,339
The rules are I get an hour
of TV time after dinner.

464
00:18:53,374 --> 00:18:55,341
The book says that we should
frame things for a reward,

465
00:18:55,376 --> 00:18:56,576
not punishment.

466
00:18:56,610 --> 00:18:58,244
Well, he's saying he
already gets TV anyway.

467
00:18:58,279 --> 00:18:59,512
That is my time for the TV.

468
00:18:59,547 --> 00:19:01,781
Maybe...maybe you guys could
give him extra TV time.

469
00:19:01,816 --> 00:19:03,650
Yeah, how about that?
How about that, Max?

470
00:19:03,684 --> 00:19:05,919
How about if you try your food,
you'll get extra TV time?

471
00:19:05,953 --> 00:19:07,020
- How much?
- An hour.

472
00:19:07,054 --> 00:19:08,388
- Five minutes.
- What your mother said.

473
00:19:08,422 --> 00:19:09,789
- Five minutes.
- Forget it.

474
00:19:09,824 --> 00:19:14,527
- Per bite.
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

475
00:19:14,562 --> 00:19:18,364
6, 7, 8,

476
00:19:18,399 --> 00:19:22,068
9, 10, 11, 12.

477
00:19:22,102 --> 00:19:24,103
That's an hour, right? You said.

478
00:19:24,138 --> 00:19:27,874
Yep. Wait, Max,
you have to sit down

479
00:19:27,908 --> 00:19:29,542
until we're finished with our meal.

480
00:19:29,577 --> 00:19:32,879
Why? I already earned my TV time.

481
00:19:32,913 --> 00:19:36,249
- That worked out well.
- Shut up, sweetie.

482
00:19:38,953 --> 00:19:40,520
I have e-mailed everyone I know

483
00:19:40,554 --> 00:19:43,857
looking for a connection with Dr. Pelikan.

484
00:19:43,891 --> 00:19:46,559
It's like trying to meet the Pope.

485
00:19:46,594 --> 00:19:48,561
There's got to be somebody else.

486
00:19:48,596 --> 00:19:49,765
I don't know.

487
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,535
That arrogant son of a bitch.

488
00:20:31,939 --> 00:20:33,940
- What?
- I found this in the back.

489
00:20:33,974 --> 00:20:38,444
- And...?
- And is it yours?

490
00:20:38,479 --> 00:20:39,712
- No.
- You sure?

491
00:20:39,747 --> 00:20:41,080
- Haddie?
- No!

492
00:20:41,115 --> 00:20:43,016
I swear to God, if you're
lying to us right now...

493
00:20:43,050 --> 00:20:44,517
- Don't lie.
- Do not lie to me.

494
00:20:44,551 --> 00:20:46,452
You are digging yourself
a very, very, very deep hole.

495
00:20:46,487 --> 00:20:47,954
Be the worst thing you could do.

496
00:20:47,988 --> 00:20:53,293
You guys...this is not mine.

497
00:20:53,327 --> 00:20:55,161
- No?
- No.

498
00:20:55,195 --> 00:20:56,963
No? 100%?
Yeah.

499
00:20:56,997 --> 00:20:58,998
- Positive.
- Yeah.

500
00:20:59,033 --> 00:21:01,100
- All right.
- Okay.

501
00:21:01,135 --> 00:21:03,069
But it feels good that
you trust your daughter.

502
00:21:03,103 --> 00:21:05,405
- Sorry.
- Yeah.

503
00:21:08,108 --> 00:21:12,645
- Wow, you did this in 1990.
- Yeah.

504
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,248
You were probably in grade school.

505
00:21:15,282 --> 00:21:16,683
Preschool, actually.

506
00:21:16,717 --> 00:21:19,552
Oh, wow. That's depressing.

507
00:21:19,586 --> 00:21:20,987
For me. I mean for me. Not for you.

508
00:21:21,021 --> 00:21:23,356
For you, look at you.
That's...you're doing great.

509
00:21:23,390 --> 00:21:26,926
Uh, so what have you
been doing all these years?

510
00:21:26,961 --> 00:21:28,328
Well, I thought you might ask that.

511
00:21:28,362 --> 00:21:31,464
Um, I've just...

512
00:21:31,498 --> 00:21:33,266
been focusing on my family, I guess.

513
00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:35,768
- I have two kids.
- Um, yeah, that's wonderful.

514
00:21:35,803 --> 00:21:38,538
Not if you know them.
I'm kidding. They're great.

515
00:21:38,572 --> 00:21:39,973
I love them.

516
00:21:40,007 --> 00:21:41,908
No, what I meant to say
is that it's an honorable choice

517
00:21:41,942 --> 00:21:43,776
to choose your family over career.

518
00:21:43,811 --> 00:21:46,312
Yeah. I just moved to Berkeley,

519
00:21:46,347 --> 00:21:48,448
and this might sound lame,

520
00:21:48,482 --> 00:21:51,250
but I'm ready to make a fresh start.

521
00:21:51,285 --> 00:21:55,288
And if you give me this chance,

522
00:21:55,322 --> 00:21:58,658
I know I can blow your freakin' mind.

523
00:21:58,692 --> 00:22:00,493
Ugh. My sister told me to say that.

524
00:22:00,527 --> 00:22:02,462
That sounded so stupid. I'm really sorry.

525
00:22:02,496 --> 00:22:04,564
That's okay. That's okay.
Now, uh, tell me about this.

526
00:22:04,598 --> 00:22:05,732
What am I looking at here?

527
00:22:05,766 --> 00:22:08,901
Okay, so, um, my
ex-husband was in a band,

528
00:22:08,936 --> 00:22:10,269
and, uh, it was pretty successful.

529
00:22:10,304 --> 00:22:12,472
And I started doing all their, um,

530
00:22:12,506 --> 00:22:13,873
their posters and stuff.

531
00:22:13,907 --> 00:22:16,309
And then I worked for another band,

532
00:22:16,343 --> 00:22:19,712
and word got out
to some restaurants so...

533
00:22:19,747 --> 00:22:22,215
Right. Uh, well, I got to be
honest with you, Sarah,

534
00:22:22,249 --> 00:22:25,418
your work is phenomenal.

535
00:22:25,452 --> 00:22:27,420
Wow. Really?

536
00:22:27,454 --> 00:22:28,521
I love these.

537
00:22:28,555 --> 00:22:30,089
It--it--it's hip
without trying to be hip.

538
00:22:30,124 --> 00:22:31,124
It's fresh, fun.

539
00:22:31,158 --> 00:22:32,759
Now, you saw the range

540
00:22:32,793 --> 00:22:34,861
that we're talking for starting salary.

541
00:22:34,895 --> 00:22:37,563
The money? Yeah. That would be fine.

542
00:22:37,598 --> 00:22:41,467
Good. Good. Um, you'll be reporting to me.

543
00:22:41,502 --> 00:22:42,769
Is that gonna be a problem?

544
00:22:42,803 --> 00:22:45,505
Just in terms of the, ...

545
00:22:45,539 --> 00:22:47,707
- 'cause I'm so old?
- That I'm so young.

546
00:22:47,741 --> 00:22:50,009
- No, that I'm so old.
- Oh. No, that's...

547
00:22:50,044 --> 00:22:51,210
No, no, that's fine.

548
00:22:51,245 --> 00:22:54,347
I can take a note from a
whippersnapper like you.

549
00:22:54,381 --> 00:22:57,050
Ugh. I, uh, no, it
wouldn't be any problem.

550
00:22:57,084 --> 00:23:01,988
Okay. Good. All right. That's good.

551
00:23:02,022 --> 00:23:05,825
I really want this job.

552
00:23:21,461 --> 00:23:23,562
- Hi.
- Hey, you're a hot mom.

553
00:23:23,596 --> 00:23:26,164
- Hi.
- Hi.

554
00:23:26,199 --> 00:23:29,201
- Oh. Where's Sydney?
- Uh, she's not here.

555
00:23:29,235 --> 00:23:30,435
- What?
- She's on her way.

556
00:23:30,470 --> 00:23:32,170
She's in a car with Racquel and Harmony.

557
00:23:32,205 --> 00:23:34,072
Racquel? Why?

558
00:23:34,107 --> 00:23:36,475
Mandarin class ran over,
and they needed somebody

559
00:23:36,509 --> 00:23:38,143
to claim a table.

560
00:23:38,177 --> 00:23:40,112
It's gonna be a pretty big group.

561
00:23:40,146 --> 00:23:43,415
- Oh.
- Yes?

562
00:23:43,449 --> 00:23:45,484
I moved three meetings and
jockeyed through traffic

563
00:23:45,518 --> 00:23:48,120
to have 21 minutes with my daughter,

564
00:23:48,154 --> 00:23:51,490
and she's in a car with Racquel.

565
00:23:52,125 --> 00:23:54,560
- I'll text her.
- No. She's an insane driver.

566
00:23:54,594 --> 00:23:56,862
- Don't text her.
- Oh, Julia.

567
00:23:56,896 --> 00:23:59,064
- She is.
- Oh, God, Jules.

568
00:23:59,098 --> 00:24:01,567
I know you think Racquel is intense,

569
00:24:01,601 --> 00:24:04,069
and she is. But she's...
she's a great mom.

570
00:24:04,103 --> 00:24:06,572
Good. That's great to hear.

571
00:24:06,606 --> 00:24:08,340
- Considering.
- Mommy!

572
00:24:08,374 --> 00:24:11,510
Hi, Syd! Okay, I have 18 minutes.

573
00:24:11,544 --> 00:24:13,178
I'm spending them with my daughter.

574
00:24:13,212 --> 00:24:14,613
- Okay.
- Hi, baby. Come here!

575
00:24:14,647 --> 00:24:15,948
- Hi.
- Hey. Hey, guys.

576
00:24:15,982 --> 00:24:17,283
You missed the most amazing class.

577
00:24:17,317 --> 00:24:18,152
Yeah?

578
00:24:19,686 --> 00:24:22,855
So you drove all the way from downtown

579
00:24:22,889 --> 00:24:23,889
to ask me this?

580
00:24:23,924 --> 00:24:26,292
Could you just answer me?

581
00:24:26,326 --> 00:24:28,494
- No, it's not my pot.
- Are you sure?

582
00:24:28,528 --> 00:24:29,828
Yeah, well, hey, you know,

583
00:24:29,863 --> 00:24:31,497
I haven't smoked that stuff in years.

584
00:24:31,531 --> 00:24:32,765
And, uh, what the hell were you doing

585
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:34,400
out in the middle of the
night weed whacking?

586
00:24:34,434 --> 00:24:35,834
I got something in my house.

587
00:24:35,869 --> 00:24:39,038
It's a possum, rat, raccoon.
I don't know. Something.

588
00:24:39,072 --> 00:24:42,374
- Call an exterminator.
- It's personal.

589
00:24:42,409 --> 00:24:43,709
- Personal?
- Yeah.

590
00:24:43,743 --> 00:24:45,044
Every night, he's up on the roof

591
00:24:45,078 --> 00:24:46,312
making noise right above us,

592
00:24:46,346 --> 00:24:47,980
and it just feels like it's deliberate.

593
00:24:48,014 --> 00:24:50,816
Like he's...mocking me.

594
00:24:50,850 --> 00:24:51,917
So anyway, I got to get rid of it.

595
00:24:51,952 --> 00:24:53,152
I got to get it out of the house.

596
00:24:53,186 --> 00:24:54,453
That's all.

597
00:24:54,487 --> 00:24:56,922
Well, sonny, you know, it
could be something else.

598
00:24:56,957 --> 00:24:58,824
- Like what, a weasel?
- Weasel?

599
00:24:58,858 --> 00:25:00,526
No, psychological. Could be...

600
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,795
- It's not psychological.
- something you're manifesting.

601
00:25:02,829 --> 00:25:04,263
I'm not manifesting anything, okay?

602
00:25:04,297 --> 00:25:06,799
Well, you're certainly kind
of resistant to the idea...

603
00:25:06,833 --> 00:25:08,667
Hey. Hey, Adam, perfect.

604
00:25:08,702 --> 00:25:09,935
Mom just made carrot cake.

605
00:25:09,970 --> 00:25:12,938
- Oh, good.
- Psychological.

606
00:25:12,973 --> 00:25:14,306
Pop, carrot cake?

607
00:25:14,341 --> 00:25:16,041
Uh, yeah, maybe in a little bit.

608
00:25:16,076 --> 00:25:17,142
Got a little more work to do.

609
00:25:17,177 --> 00:25:18,577
Wouldn't want to help, would you?

610
00:25:18,612 --> 00:25:20,045
- Okay. Yeah. Earn it.
- Yeah.

611
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,313
- Yeah, make sure you earn it.
- Yeah.

612
00:25:21,348 --> 00:25:23,482
Did you ditch a bag of weed in my yard?

613
00:25:23,516 --> 00:25:26,919
- Are you crazy?
- Just asking a question.

614
00:25:26,953 --> 00:25:29,121
Hmm. By the way,

615
00:25:29,155 --> 00:25:31,323
I need you to cover for me with Katie.

616
00:25:31,358 --> 00:25:32,992
I told her Max has Asperger's

617
00:25:33,026 --> 00:25:35,661
and that's why I can't go
away with her this weekend.

618
00:25:35,695 --> 00:25:37,763
You used Max's Asperger's as an excuse.

619
00:25:37,797 --> 00:25:39,131
Yeah, I'm double-booked.

620
00:25:39,165 --> 00:25:40,933
I'm supposed to go with Katie
to this incredible spa

621
00:25:40,967 --> 00:25:42,468
in Napa and then Jasmine asks me

622
00:25:42,502 --> 00:25:43,902
if I can bond with Jabbar.

623
00:25:43,937 --> 00:25:45,137
So you're deciding whether or not

624
00:25:45,171 --> 00:25:46,739
to go to some spa with Katie

625
00:25:46,773 --> 00:25:48,140
or spend time with your son

626
00:25:48,174 --> 00:25:49,475
that you've met twice in your life.

627
00:25:49,509 --> 00:25:51,410
If you saw the lingerie
she bought for this trip,

628
00:25:51,444 --> 00:25:52,578
you'd understand the dilemma.

629
00:25:52,612 --> 00:25:54,346
Hey, jackass, you have a son, okay?

630
00:25:54,381 --> 00:25:57,149
You need to man up, take care
of your responsibilities.

631
00:25:57,183 --> 00:25:58,917
Mm. You comfortable up
there on your high horse

632
00:25:58,952 --> 00:26:00,219
looking down on me?

633
00:26:00,253 --> 00:26:03,555
My life's complicated, Adam.

634
00:26:03,590 --> 00:26:05,124
Mm. Listen, by the way,

635
00:26:05,158 --> 00:26:06,625
that guy that you e-mailed me about...

636
00:26:06,660 --> 00:26:10,195
Dr. Pelikan...I got an in.

637
00:26:10,230 --> 00:26:11,230
- You?
- Yeah, me.

638
00:26:11,264 --> 00:26:13,232
I have an in. Can you imagine?

639
00:26:13,266 --> 00:26:17,536
Katie's mom did him
at some new age retreat

640
00:26:17,570 --> 00:26:18,671
back in the '70s.

641
00:26:18,705 --> 00:26:20,172
Slow down. What?

642
00:26:20,206 --> 00:26:24,310
Katie's mom did him
at Esalin in 1973, okay?

643
00:26:24,344 --> 00:26:25,844
And this helps me how?

644
00:26:25,879 --> 00:26:27,946
He has a cancellation this afternoon.

645
00:26:27,981 --> 00:26:29,281
He has a cancellation today?

646
00:26:29,316 --> 00:26:31,116
Why did you wait so long
to tell me about this?

647
00:26:31,151 --> 00:26:33,686
Well, sorry that I wanted
to talk to you for five seconds

648
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:34,753
about my life.

649
00:26:34,788 --> 00:26:35,954
I got to go, okay?

650
00:26:35,989 --> 00:26:37,456
This guy's impossible to see. Thank you.

651
00:26:37,490 --> 00:26:39,692
Oh, great. Thanks for your time.

652
00:26:39,726 --> 00:26:40,893
That's really generous of you.

653
00:26:40,977 --> 00:26:42,178
I don't want to go.

654
00:26:42,212 --> 00:26:44,647
Look, Max, we're jumping over
an 18-month waiting list here.

655
00:26:44,681 --> 00:26:45,814
Okay, we have to go.

656
00:26:45,849 --> 00:26:47,316
Honey, he doesn't know
what a waiting list is.

657
00:26:47,351 --> 00:26:48,818
This guy is the Bob Dylan of Asperger's.

658
00:26:48,952 --> 00:26:50,486
Bob Dylan never had
a number one record.

659
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:51,954
He's a genius.

660
00:26:51,988 --> 00:26:54,523
Then how come he never had a number
one hit record on billboard?

661
00:26:54,658 --> 00:26:56,292
The Beatles had 20
number one hit records.

662
00:26:56,526 --> 00:26:58,594
- Uh-huh.
- Michael Jackson had 13.

663
00:26:58,628 --> 00:26:59,729
The Bee Gees had nine.

664
00:26:59,763 --> 00:27:01,931
Well, maybe try not to compare
Bob Dylan to the Bee Gees.

665
00:27:02,265 --> 00:27:04,066
And we have to go.

666
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:05,801
- Hey, turn the TV back on.
- We have to go, Max.

667
00:27:05,835 --> 00:27:07,002
- Come on.
- No way.

668
00:27:07,037 --> 00:27:08,504
Okay, right now, we have to do this.

669
00:27:08,538 --> 00:27:10,172
- No!
- Max, put your shoes on.

670
00:27:10,207 --> 00:27:11,807
Max. Hey. Max!

671
00:27:11,841 --> 00:27:13,008
This guy can't help you unless we go.

672
00:27:13,043 --> 00:27:14,376
Not that you need help.
We need to go.

673
00:27:14,411 --> 00:27:15,511
Yes, he does.

674
00:27:15,545 --> 00:27:17,112
Adam, I don't want him
to think that he needs--

675
00:27:17,147 --> 00:27:18,814
Kristina, we need to make
this appointment, okay?

676
00:27:20,648 --> 00:27:21,450
Hey.

677
00:27:21,084 --> 00:27:24,420
- What? What?
- Um...

678
00:27:24,454 --> 00:27:27,923
It was mine.
The pot. It was mine.

679
00:27:27,958 --> 00:27:30,759
Um... I just couldn't
sleep last night,

680
00:27:30,794 --> 00:27:32,528
and I felt like I had to tell you.

681
00:27:32,562 --> 00:27:35,698
So a couple of friends
and I chipped in.

682
00:27:35,732 --> 00:27:37,833
Do not ask me who 'cause
I'm not gonna tell you.

683
00:27:37,867 --> 00:27:43,772
But I thought it was stupid and
I'm not gonna do it again.

684
00:27:43,807 --> 00:27:45,241
Okay?

685
00:27:50,313 --> 00:27:55,417
Sorry for not being the girl
that you thought I was.

686
00:27:55,452 --> 00:27:57,419
Okay.

687
00:28:05,762 --> 00:28:07,429
- Hello.
- Sarah, hi. It's Edwin Chung.

688
00:28:07,464 --> 00:28:09,365
- How are you?
- Oh, hi. I'm good.

689
00:28:09,399 --> 00:28:11,734
- How are you?
- Good. Do you have a second?

690
00:28:11,768 --> 00:28:14,270
Yeah. Sure. That was really fun today.

691
00:28:14,304 --> 00:28:16,305
Listen, I am so sorry, unfortunately,

692
00:28:16,339 --> 00:28:18,143
it's not gonna work out.

693
00:28:20,677 --> 00:28:22,378
- Oh.
- Yeah. I think you're great.

694
00:28:22,412 --> 00:28:23,879
I do. And I was fighting for you.

695
00:28:23,913 --> 00:28:25,848
But my bosses just won't hire anyone

696
00:28:25,882 --> 00:28:26,982
without a college degree.

697
00:28:27,017 --> 00:28:29,518
In any case, I wanted
to call you personally

698
00:28:29,552 --> 00:28:31,253
to let you know how sorry I am.

699
00:28:31,288 --> 00:28:32,855
Right. Sure.

700
00:28:32,889 --> 00:28:34,356
Oh, and my bosses wanted me

701
00:28:34,391 --> 00:28:35,691
to make sure to thank your brother,

702
00:28:35,725 --> 00:28:37,826
Adam Braverman at T&S Footwear.

703
00:28:37,861 --> 00:28:40,863
Yeah, but--but why do--
do--do you know him?

704
00:28:40,897 --> 00:28:42,264
Yeah. That's why you were brought in.

705
00:28:42,299 --> 00:28:45,000
- I thought you knew.
- Yeah. Yeah.

706
00:28:45,035 --> 00:28:46,435
Oh, yeah. Right. Of course.

707
00:28:46,469 --> 00:28:47,970
No, no. I...that's-- that's right.

708
00:28:48,004 --> 00:28:49,872
I forgot. I will. I'll definitely say hi to him.

709
00:28:49,906 --> 00:28:53,309
Thanks. Okay.
Thanks so much. Bye-bye.

710
00:28:56,179 --> 00:28:58,314
- How was school?
- Can we just go, please?

711
00:28:58,348 --> 00:29:00,082
Oh, God, can you just
not give me this attitude?

712
00:29:00,116 --> 00:29:01,116
Not today.

713
00:29:01,151 --> 00:29:02,318
Can you just drive the car, please?

714
00:29:02,352 --> 00:29:03,319
Yes. I can drive the car.

715
00:29:03,353 --> 00:29:04,620
I just want to tell
you and remind you--

716
00:29:04,654 --> 00:29:05,988
Can we please not do this here?

717
00:29:06,022 --> 00:29:07,823
That this is not a punishment.
All you do is be negative.

718
00:29:07,857 --> 00:29:09,291
- Please respect my opinion.
- And complain.

719
00:29:09,326 --> 00:29:11,060
- I don't want to do this.
- And get your cousin arrested.

720
00:29:11,094 --> 00:29:12,995
Oh, okay. Yeah, and that was my fault.

721
00:29:13,029 --> 00:29:14,229
- Okay.
- It wasn't. I'm serious.

722
00:29:14,264 --> 00:29:16,999
Listen to me, please!
I didn't smoke pot.

723
00:29:17,033 --> 00:29:18,233
And I didn't give any to her.

724
00:29:18,268 --> 00:29:19,802
And I didn't encourage her to smoke it.

725
00:29:19,836 --> 00:29:22,638
But you don't believe me.
Ever. You didn't even listen.

726
00:29:22,672 --> 00:29:23,672
And as for this school,

727
00:29:23,707 --> 00:29:25,007
I'm really glad that you sent me here

728
00:29:25,041 --> 00:29:26,742
because they're holding me back.

729
00:29:26,776 --> 00:29:28,043
- What?
- Yeah, I got held back.

730
00:29:28,078 --> 00:29:29,778
I'm gonna have to do tenth
grade all over again.

731
00:29:29,813 --> 00:29:31,814
So thanks a lot for making me go here.

732
00:29:31,848 --> 00:29:33,182
What? What are you talking about?

733
00:29:33,216 --> 00:29:34,783
They're making me do
tenth grade over again

734
00:29:34,818 --> 00:29:36,785
because they didn't like
my transcripts from Fresno.

735
00:29:36,820 --> 00:29:37,920
- Who is?
- I don't know.

736
00:29:37,954 --> 00:29:39,388
- I don't know, I just--
- Who said that?

737
00:29:39,422 --> 00:29:43,459
- I'm taking the bus.
- Amber, come on.

738
00:29:47,897 --> 00:29:52,067
- We're out of here.
- Whoop.

739
00:29:52,102 --> 00:29:53,535
Well, Max did just great.

740
00:29:53,570 --> 00:29:54,903
Max, how about you hang out here,

741
00:29:54,938 --> 00:29:56,105
play a little with the toys,

742
00:29:56,139 --> 00:29:57,573
and your mom and dad
and I will go talk

743
00:29:57,607 --> 00:29:58,607
for a few minutes.

744
00:29:58,641 --> 00:30:01,277
- Okay.
- Kisses. Okay?

745
00:30:09,352 --> 00:30:12,454
- Well?
- Well, Max...

746
00:30:12,489 --> 00:30:13,856
is a wonderful boy.

747
00:30:13,890 --> 00:30:16,692
He's smart. He's sweet.
He is very intelligent.

748
00:30:16,726 --> 00:30:18,360
Okay Doctor, I'm sorry to interrupt.

749
00:30:18,395 --> 00:30:20,195
I don't want to be rude,
but we just want to know.

750
00:30:20,230 --> 00:30:23,699
I mean, does...
do you think Max has Asperger's?

751
00:30:23,733 --> 00:30:24,833
Max is very high functioning.

752
00:30:24,868 --> 00:30:27,536
But I do find
that Max's behaviors

753
00:30:27,570 --> 00:30:32,074
are consistent
with an Asperger's diagnosis.

754
00:30:37,180 --> 00:30:39,248
- Oh, my God.
- All right.

755
00:30:39,282 --> 00:30:40,949
Uh, this is fine.

756
00:30:40,984 --> 00:30:43,018
We're gonna...look, we can work through this.

757
00:30:43,052 --> 00:30:44,420
It's not an insurmountable problem.

758
00:30:44,454 --> 00:30:45,621
No.

759
00:30:45,655 --> 00:30:47,289
I think we should just
tackle this one-by-one.

760
00:30:47,323 --> 00:30:48,524
So pirate costume.

761
00:30:48,558 --> 00:30:50,292
I think getting him out
of that thing is key.

762
00:30:50,326 --> 00:30:52,261
Well, I'm--I'm happy to
help with strategies

763
00:30:52,295 --> 00:30:53,896
for specific behaviors.

764
00:30:53,930 --> 00:30:54,997
I think that we should start

765
00:30:55,031 --> 00:30:56,932
with more of a big
picture conversation.

766
00:30:56,966 --> 00:30:58,834
I'm just...I'm better with practical stuff.

767
00:30:58,868 --> 00:31:00,636
So you know, I just want to--
we got to get moving on this.

768
00:31:00,670 --> 00:31:01,570
- Adam, can you just...
- What?

769
00:31:01,604 --> 00:31:03,405
Can you please just let him talk?

770
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,674
- He's sorry.
- No. Go for it.

771
00:31:05,708 --> 00:31:09,311
- Thanks.
- Okay.

772
00:31:09,345 --> 00:31:11,847
- This isn't a prison sentence.
- I know.

773
00:31:11,881 --> 00:31:13,382
So how long is this
going to take then?

774
00:31:13,416 --> 00:31:15,851
- How long will what take?
- Just to get him through this.

775
00:31:15,885 --> 00:31:17,219
Get him back on track.

776
00:31:17,253 --> 00:31:19,421
Okay, unfortunately, there
is no cure for Asperger's.

777
00:31:19,456 --> 00:31:23,091
It is a syndrome that he
will always have. Okay?

778
00:31:23,126 --> 00:31:25,060
I-I don't--
I don't understand.

779
00:31:25,094 --> 00:31:27,396
Sorry. What--what are we
supposed to do for him?

780
00:31:27,430 --> 00:31:28,464
I mean, I don't know--

781
00:31:28,498 --> 00:31:32,267
You will help to uncover Max's gifts.

782
00:31:32,302 --> 00:31:34,870
You figure out how he learns.

783
00:31:34,904 --> 00:31:37,573
You get as much support for Max as possible.

784
00:31:37,607 --> 00:31:39,374
Quite honestly, the research clearly shows

785
00:31:39,409 --> 00:31:41,210
the greatest barometer of success

786
00:31:41,244 --> 00:31:44,947
for children with Asperger's
is their parents' involvement.

787
00:31:44,981 --> 00:31:46,448
Oh, okay. All right.

788
00:31:46,483 --> 00:31:50,185
So just--just in case we
can never see you again,

789
00:31:50,220 --> 00:31:51,487
how--what do you suggest

790
00:31:51,521 --> 00:31:52,955
we do to get him out
of the pirate costume?

791
00:31:52,989 --> 00:31:55,958
So the first step is not
to--to wrench Max out

792
00:31:55,992 --> 00:31:57,893
of his comfort zone.

793
00:31:57,927 --> 00:32:02,297
Okay, the first step is
to join Max where he is.

794
00:32:02,332 --> 00:32:07,135
And then when he's ready,
you walk him into the world.

795
00:32:18,791 --> 00:32:21,458
And now for the main
event of our evening,

796
00:32:21,493 --> 00:32:23,928
I give you over to my
incredible co-chair.

797
00:32:23,962 --> 00:32:25,396
Does he clean up well or what?

798
00:32:25,430 --> 00:32:27,431
Aw, so handsome.

799
00:32:27,465 --> 00:32:30,401
Not only did Joel organize
most of this event himself,

800
00:32:30,435 --> 00:32:33,003
but he literally built the platform

801
00:32:33,038 --> 00:32:34,638
that we are standing on right now

802
00:32:34,875 --> 00:32:37,277
with his own two, big, man-hands.

803
00:32:39,911 --> 00:32:42,613
- Who is this tramp?
- Racquel.

804
00:32:42,647 --> 00:32:44,214
- Oh.
- Are they, like, screwing?

805
00:32:44,249 --> 00:32:46,884
- No. What?
- I'd like to correct Racquel.

806
00:32:46,918 --> 00:32:48,519
She is actually, uh, responsible

807
00:32:48,553 --> 00:32:50,687
for doing virtually almost everything

808
00:32:50,722 --> 00:32:52,222
in getting tonight's event together.

809
00:32:52,257 --> 00:32:54,091
- So let's hear it for Racquel.
- Aw.

810
00:32:54,125 --> 00:32:55,492
Yeah, yeah, you know,

811
00:32:55,527 --> 00:32:57,528
before the platform collapses,

812
00:32:57,562 --> 00:32:58,829
- Could we get on with the...?
- Shh.

813
00:32:58,863 --> 00:33:00,230
That's, uh, that's my father-in-law,

814
00:33:00,265 --> 00:33:01,999
- Ladies and gentlemen.
- What are you doing?

815
00:33:02,033 --> 00:33:03,333
I'm, uh, I'm actually not kidding.

816
00:33:03,368 --> 00:33:04,968
Okay, um, we are going to start

817
00:33:05,003 --> 00:33:08,038
with the biggest auction item of the night.

818
00:33:08,072 --> 00:33:10,274
The highest bidder will go home

819
00:33:10,308 --> 00:33:14,378
with a premium parking spot at Sycamore

820
00:33:14,412 --> 00:33:15,712
for an entire year.

821
00:33:15,747 --> 00:33:18,348
Ah, sweet. That's mine. Yes, it is.

822
00:33:18,383 --> 00:33:19,783
- You want it?
- I want it.

823
00:33:19,817 --> 00:33:21,251
Every morning starting tomorrow

824
00:33:21,286 --> 00:33:23,620
for an entire school year
at Sycamore Charter.

825
00:33:23,655 --> 00:33:25,556
- Oh, my God.
- Oh. Oh, wow.

826
00:33:25,590 --> 00:33:27,558
- Gorgeous.
- Yeah.

827
00:33:27,592 --> 00:33:30,227
So who here is ready to pay $300

828
00:33:30,261 --> 00:33:32,863
for VIP parking at Sycamore Charter?

829
00:33:32,897 --> 00:33:34,932
$300 from the beautiful
woman in the back

830
00:33:34,966 --> 00:33:37,067
with the boisterous family.

831
00:33:37,101 --> 00:33:39,703
Do I hear, uh, three--

832
00:33:39,737 --> 00:33:41,905
- Do I hear $325?
- $325.

833
00:33:41,940 --> 00:33:44,374
$325? I have $325? Do I hear $350?

834
00:33:44,409 --> 00:33:46,210
- $350.
- $350? I have $350.

835
00:33:46,244 --> 00:33:48,078
Do I hear $400? Do I have $400?

836
00:33:48,112 --> 00:33:50,714
$400 in the back. Do I hear $450?

837
00:33:50,748 --> 00:33:51,715
$450.

838
00:33:51,749 --> 00:33:53,050
$450. Who's gonna give me $500?

839
00:33:53,084 --> 00:33:54,785
- Right here.
- I have $500.

840
00:33:54,819 --> 00:33:56,253
Let's go $600. Who's gonna give me $600?

841
00:33:56,287 --> 00:33:57,354
- $600.
- $600.

842
00:33:57,388 --> 00:34:01,058
$600 over there. $600. Do I have $650?

843
00:34:01,092 --> 00:34:03,927
- I have $600. Going once.
- Ah!

844
00:34:03,962 --> 00:34:05,095
- Going twice.
- $700!

845
00:34:05,129 --> 00:34:07,531
$700! $700.

846
00:34:07,565 --> 00:34:09,299
That's a...wow, that's
a Sycamore Charter record.

847
00:34:09,334 --> 00:34:13,136
Right--right here.
$700. Going once. Going twice.

848
00:34:13,171 --> 00:34:14,905
- 8.
- Here we go.

849
00:34:14,939 --> 00:34:17,774
We got a cat fight. We got a cat fight.

850
00:34:17,809 --> 00:34:21,111
- 800 smackeroos. Wow.
- 9.

851
00:34:21,145 --> 00:34:23,714
- $900.
- Okay. It's on.

852
00:34:23,748 --> 00:34:27,150
- Make it a grand.
- Ah! That a baby!

853
00:34:27,185 --> 00:34:29,886
- $1,000. U.S.
- 11.

854
00:34:29,921 --> 00:34:32,155
- 12.
- 15.

855
00:34:32,190 --> 00:34:34,157
$1,500.

856
00:34:34,192 --> 00:34:35,659
$1,500. Wow.

857
00:34:35,693 --> 00:34:37,661
What the hell is wrong with her?

858
00:34:37,695 --> 00:34:39,363
I know, she doesn't even work.

859
00:34:39,397 --> 00:34:41,067
She doesn't work?

860
00:34:46,204 --> 00:34:49,773
Which is a valid...

861
00:34:49,807 --> 00:34:52,676
such a valid, wonderful choice

862
00:34:52,710 --> 00:34:58,315
That, you know...I did an extra month

863
00:34:58,349 --> 00:34:59,383
of maternity leave.

864
00:34:59,417 --> 00:35:01,118
- I-I took that...
- Excellent.

865
00:35:01,152 --> 00:35:04,354
$1,500. Going once. Going twice.

866
00:35:04,389 --> 00:35:06,623
Let's make it $1,920
in honor of the year

867
00:35:06,658 --> 00:35:07,958
women won the right to vote.

868
00:35:07,992 --> 00:35:09,660
Solidarity.

869
00:35:09,694 --> 00:35:12,829
Sold. Great, ladies. Thank you so much.

870
00:35:12,864 --> 00:35:15,032
That's a great way to start off
the, uh, the evening here.

871
00:35:15,066 --> 00:35:17,801
- I'm sorry. Uh-oh.
- You can see that from space.

872
00:35:17,836 --> 00:35:19,002
I know. I know.

873
00:35:19,037 --> 00:35:21,105
It's gonna take me
months to work overtime

874
00:35:21,139 --> 00:35:22,206
paying that off.

875
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:23,474
Least you have a job.

876
00:35:23,508 --> 00:35:25,242
Well, I heard your interview went well.

877
00:35:25,276 --> 00:35:26,677
I guess. I didn't get it.

878
00:35:26,711 --> 00:35:27,878
- What?
- Really?

879
00:35:27,912 --> 00:35:28,879
Why?

880
00:35:28,913 --> 00:35:30,547
And, Adam, next time you <i>help</i> me,

881
00:35:30,582 --> 00:35:31,782
maybe you could let me know.

882
00:35:31,816 --> 00:35:33,884
I actually thought I got
that interview by myself

883
00:35:33,918 --> 00:35:36,386
and then I found out I didn't.

884
00:35:36,421 --> 00:35:38,255
Listen, Sarah, Dad thought
it would be a good idea.

885
00:35:38,289 --> 00:35:39,623
Really? That's what you're using?

886
00:35:39,657 --> 00:35:41,625
What, are you 40 and Dad
thought it was a good idea?

887
00:35:41,659 --> 00:35:44,461
- Oh, the gloves are off now.
- That's a terrible reason.

888
00:35:44,496 --> 00:35:45,729
Okay. I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

889
00:35:45,763 --> 00:35:46,930
All right? I should've told you.

890
00:35:46,965 --> 00:35:48,098
- I'm sorry.
- Thank you.

891
00:35:48,133 --> 00:35:50,667
Hey, how did your meeting go with Max?

892
00:35:50,702 --> 00:35:53,403
You...it's okay. You can tell them.

893
00:35:53,438 --> 00:35:56,140
It's official. Max has Asperger's.

894
00:35:58,409 --> 00:36:00,711
- Hey.
- Sorry about that.

895
00:36:00,745 --> 00:36:01,745
- Yeah.
- What am I doing?

896
00:36:01,779 --> 00:36:03,080
I'm, like, straightening your tie.

897
00:36:03,114 --> 00:36:04,248
Get off.

898
00:36:04,282 --> 00:36:05,883
You know, to make life even suckier,

899
00:36:05,917 --> 00:36:08,719
our perfect daughter was hiding
a bag of weed in the backyard.

900
00:36:08,753 --> 00:36:09,820
- Oh, wow.
- I am appalled.

901
00:36:09,854 --> 00:36:11,021
As your lawyer,

902
00:36:11,055 --> 00:36:12,356
I would've advised you
not to bring that

903
00:36:12,390 --> 00:36:13,590
to the elementary school where...

904
00:36:13,625 --> 00:36:14,892
It happened to be in my pocket.

905
00:36:14,926 --> 00:36:16,860
He was hunting a possum
while wearing a blazer

906
00:36:16,895 --> 00:36:17,861
in his underwear.

907
00:36:17,896 --> 00:36:19,062
That's quite an image there.

908
00:36:19,097 --> 00:36:21,999
So it was Haddie's?
Amber didn't lie?

909
00:36:22,033 --> 00:36:23,267
Amber told the truth.

910
00:36:23,301 --> 00:36:24,935
Well, I'm glad this is
such good news for you.

911
00:36:24,969 --> 00:36:26,537
- Amber told the truth.
- Haddie's smoking pot.

912
00:36:26,571 --> 00:36:27,771
Well, Amber told me the truth.

913
00:36:27,805 --> 00:36:29,273
That's happened, like, one other time.

914
00:36:29,307 --> 00:36:31,241
- How's it going, Crosby?
- Hey, would you put that away?

915
00:36:31,276 --> 00:36:32,509
What are you doing?

916
00:36:32,544 --> 00:36:34,044
Hey, look, man, I'm just
trying to figure out

917
00:36:34,078 --> 00:36:35,412
what kind of mischief my
niece is up to, okay?

918
00:36:35,446 --> 00:36:36,914
It smells like Mexican mischief.

919
00:36:36,948 --> 00:36:38,282
But it could be Humboldt mischief.

920
00:36:38,316 --> 00:36:40,884
Do not light that. Do not...

921
00:36:40,919 --> 00:36:42,586
Crosby, if you get me
kicked out of this school,

922
00:36:42,620 --> 00:36:44,688
I swear to God I will take
your skinny ass down.

923
00:36:44,722 --> 00:36:46,023
Well, if you get booted,

924
00:36:46,057 --> 00:36:48,158
then maybe that ho won't try
to raw dog your husband.

925
00:36:48,193 --> 00:36:51,295
- I'm so--what?
- "raw dog." is that a...?

926
00:36:51,329 --> 00:36:52,329
- I know.
- What is that?

927
00:36:52,363 --> 00:36:53,664
Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

928
00:36:53,698 --> 00:36:55,265
She was all "Joel built
this whole platform

929
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:56,600
with his bare hands,"
like, you know,

930
00:36:56,634 --> 00:36:58,168
he's from the 1400s or something.

931
00:36:58,203 --> 00:36:59,736
- Okay, Joel would never.
- No, he wouldn't.

932
00:36:59,771 --> 00:37:01,872
- Joel?
- Never ever in a million years.

933
00:37:01,906 --> 00:37:03,407
- And she's--she's...
- She's a tart.

934
00:37:03,441 --> 00:37:05,542
Come on. Put that out.

935
00:37:05,577 --> 00:37:07,544
Now it's in safe hands. Here we go.

936
00:37:07,579 --> 00:37:10,180
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Oh, mama bear's...

937
00:37:10,215 --> 00:37:11,748
- Kristina?
- What...

938
00:37:11,783 --> 00:37:13,350
You got to put her on a
shorter leash, my man.

939
00:37:13,384 --> 00:37:14,351
Look at this.

940
00:37:14,385 --> 00:37:16,320
You guys, this is still illegal.

941
00:37:16,354 --> 00:37:17,654
You know that? Still illegal.

942
00:37:17,689 --> 00:37:19,289
Kristina, would you
put that out, please?

943
00:37:19,324 --> 00:37:21,124
- Come on, this is illegal.
- Didn't do anything.

944
00:37:21,159 --> 00:37:23,293
- Where'd everybody go?
- Oh, my god. Mom. It's Mom.

945
00:37:23,328 --> 00:37:24,861
- Oh, great.
- Here comes Mom.

946
00:37:24,896 --> 00:37:27,831
- Shh. You guys.
- I needed some air.

947
00:37:27,865 --> 00:37:29,466
- Oh, yeah.
- What's so funny?

948
00:37:29,500 --> 00:37:33,303
- Nothing.
- Hi, Mom. Hi.

949
00:37:33,338 --> 00:37:36,006
Mom, you look so soft tonight.

950
00:37:37,642 --> 00:37:38,942
Oh, God, you guys, you're smoking dope

951
00:37:38,977 --> 00:37:40,010
in the school yard.

952
00:37:40,044 --> 00:37:42,145
- I was not smoking dope.
- You idiots.

953
00:37:42,180 --> 00:37:44,081
Mom, Adam's a chimney.

954
00:37:44,115 --> 00:37:46,550
We need to get him into a facility.

955
00:37:48,753 --> 00:37:49,786
- Get him!
- Run!

956
00:37:49,821 --> 00:37:51,588
- Get him!
- Run!

957
00:37:53,536 --> 00:37:55,070
I should've seen it.
I should've caught it.

958
00:37:55,104 --> 00:37:56,004
You were always concerned

959
00:37:56,038 --> 00:37:57,539
when I was always telling
you it was okay.

960
00:37:58,273 --> 00:37:59,940
You know what, I think this is good

961
00:37:59,975 --> 00:38:01,776
because if we can blame everything on you,

962
00:38:01,810 --> 00:38:03,277
it's gonna make everything better.

963
00:38:03,311 --> 00:38:07,414
- You think so?
- Yeah.

964
00:38:07,449 --> 00:38:10,451
Kristina, I just--I don't--

965
00:38:10,485 --> 00:38:11,886
I can deal with anything.

966
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,888
I-I can deal with disease, with illness,

967
00:38:13,922 --> 00:38:15,222
with a broken bone.

968
00:38:15,257 --> 00:38:16,490
Give me something I can fix.

969
00:38:16,525 --> 00:38:18,159
But I just...I don't know
how to deal with this.

970
00:38:18,193 --> 00:38:19,093
This is for life.

971
00:38:19,127 --> 00:38:20,227
No, Adam. Just stop it.

972
00:38:20,262 --> 00:38:23,030
I mean, come on.
You only heard the bad part.

973
00:38:23,064 --> 00:38:24,868
You didn't hear everything else
that the doctor said.

974
00:38:27,202 --> 00:38:31,438
Max is...he's smart,
and he's beautiful,

975
00:38:31,473 --> 00:38:34,475
and there's so much potential.

976
00:38:34,509 --> 00:38:35,980
and hope.

977
00:38:40,015 --> 00:38:41,552
So what now?

978
00:38:44,986 --> 00:38:46,389
We start to work.

979
00:38:59,935 --> 00:39:01,469
Have a nice day.

980
00:39:07,576 --> 00:39:09,778
Unfortunately, there's
not much we can do.

981
00:39:10,612 --> 00:39:12,847
I'm afraid Amber's transcript
just doesn't justify being

982
00:39:12,881 --> 00:39:14,114
in the eleventh grade.

983
00:39:14,149 --> 00:39:17,284
I know. Her grades at
Fresno totally sucked.

984
00:39:17,319 --> 00:39:19,487
Can't argue with that.

985
00:39:20,121 --> 00:39:23,691
The thing about Amber is...

986
00:39:23,725 --> 00:39:28,629
the hidden secret about Amber
is she's really smart.

987
00:39:28,663 --> 00:39:32,066
She just hasn't gotten
a break, you know?

988
00:39:32,100 --> 00:39:34,401
She hasn't gotten the
break that she deserves.

989
00:39:34,436 --> 00:39:36,403
And that's my fault.

990
00:39:36,438 --> 00:39:39,673
And I take responsibility for that.

991
00:39:39,708 --> 00:39:40,708
But the reason I came here...

992
00:39:40,742 --> 00:39:44,511
The reason I moved my family here is...

993
00:39:44,546 --> 00:39:48,217
to give her a chance to become more.

994
00:39:52,454 --> 00:39:54,822
I know the last thing you want
is another parent in here

995
00:39:54,856 --> 00:39:56,824
asking for special treatment for their kid.

996
00:39:56,858 --> 00:39:58,060
But...

997
00:40:00,095 --> 00:40:02,162
I'm just afraid that if the first thing

998
00:40:02,197 --> 00:40:06,567
that happens to her here is
that she gets left back...

999
00:40:06,601 --> 00:40:08,469
that she's just going to shut down.

1000
00:40:08,503 --> 00:40:10,905
And the thing I want more
than anything in the world

1001
00:40:10,939 --> 00:40:13,842
is for her not to shut down.

1002
00:40:14,876 --> 00:40:17,113
'cause I believe in her.

1003
00:40:19,147 --> 00:40:22,117
You don't know me.
You don't know her.

1004
00:40:23,151 --> 00:40:24,519
So...

1005
00:40:25,153 --> 00:40:28,456
But I guess I'm asking for
you to believe in her too.

00:41:46,001 --> 00:41:48,168
♫ and though I know
you're fighting it ♫

1026
00:41:48,203 --> 00:41:50,104
♫ I can tell when you rub your eyes ♫

1027
00:41:50,138 --> 00:41:52,006
♫ that you're fading fast ♫
