ADULT ADAM: Back in the '80s,
2
00:00:02,872 --> 00:00:04,134
high school was
a tricky place for me.
3
00:00:04,308 --> 00:00:06,354
I didn't always enjoy the
acceptance of my classmates,
4
00:00:06,528 --> 00:00:08,660
or the teachers,
or the principal,
5
00:00:09,661 --> 00:00:11,750
or the building.
6
00:00:11,924 --> 00:00:13,839
But I had applied
to my dream school
with my dream girl,
7
00:00:14,014 --> 00:00:15,711
and our envelopes from NYU
had arrived.

I'm your
special pickle, baby.

instead of my own.

are pretty thick.

00:05:37,598 --> 00:05:40,165
Adam was wait listed at NYU.
177
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:42,080
And here's another headline,
she got in.
178
00:05:42,254 --> 00:05:43,212
But you're his mother.
179
00:05:43,386 --> 00:05:45,519
She got the big envelope
and everything.
180
00:05:45,693 --> 00:05:47,782
All my ears and whiskers!
The big envelope?
181
00:05:47,956 --> 00:05:49,044
That's the real deal.
182
00:05:49,218 --> 00:05:50,437
Well, it's nice to be wanted,
183
00:05:50,611 --> 00:05:52,613
but we're hoping,
as his guidance counselor,
184
00:05:52,787 --> 00:05:54,310
you can arrange for him
to take my spot.
185
00:05:54,484 --> 00:05:56,356
What a fun
and outlandish solution.
186
00:05:56,530 --> 00:05:58,227
[LAUGHS]
187
00:05:58,401 --> 00:06:00,708
Unfortunately, the world
doesn't work that way at all.
188
00:06:00,882 --> 00:06:02,710
Brea's gonna have to
give you her spot.
189
00:06:02,884 --> 00:06:03,972
Now, do you want to
talk to her,
190
00:06:04,146 --> 00:06:05,756
- or is that a Mama-do?
- Not that, either.
191
00:06:05,930 --> 00:06:08,803
Mr. G, NYU is my dream school.
I'll do anything.
192
00:06:08,977 --> 00:06:11,893
I get it, but the admissions
people need to get it, too.
193
00:06:12,067 --> 00:06:13,677
Fine. Adam, we're gonna
get you into college,
194
00:06:13,851 --> 00:06:14,896
but first, go make a pishy.
195
00:06:15,070 --> 00:06:15,679
It's gonna be a long drive.
196
00:06:15,853 --> 00:06:16,854
You both can't go.
197
00:06:17,028 --> 00:06:17,986
You're right.
198
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,335
Schmoo,
wait for me at home.
199
00:06:19,509 --> 00:06:21,206
No stove or scissors
till I get back.
200
00:06:21,381 --> 00:06:22,382
Please listen.
201
00:06:22,556 --> 00:06:25,254
It has to be Adam
and Adam alone.
202
00:06:25,428 --> 00:06:26,211
The admissions people
need to see that
203
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:28,475
he can advocate for himself.
204
00:06:28,649 --> 00:06:31,652
Or I call them and tell them
how good he is
205
00:06:31,826 --> 00:06:33,393
at advocating for himself.
206
00:06:33,567 --> 00:06:35,699
There you go, Mama.
No wonder you got in.
207
00:06:35,873 --> 00:06:37,048
Adam needs to do this
on his own.
208
00:06:37,222 --> 00:06:39,311
- But with his mama.
- No.
209
00:06:39,486 --> 00:06:41,705
Looks like it's time
for this guy to step up.
210
00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:44,055
But first, she was right
about that pishy.
211
00:06:44,229 --> 00:06:45,709
ADULT ADAM: I had gotten some
much-needed clarity,
212
00:06:45,883 --> 00:06:47,537
but Erica was still confused.
213
00:06:47,711 --> 00:06:49,496
Not only am I wrongly blamed
214
00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:51,106
for putting your father's
porcelain horses
215
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:52,890
in unspeakable positions,
216
00:06:53,064 --> 00:06:54,501
but worse,
you thought I did it.
217
00:06:54,675 --> 00:06:55,980
Well, in my defense,
218
00:06:56,154 --> 00:06:57,721
I actually kind of liked
that you did it.
219
00:06:57,895 --> 00:06:58,635
What are you saying
right now?
220
00:06:58,809 --> 00:07:00,202
I'm saying I like bad girls.
221
00:07:00,376 --> 00:07:01,682
Like Olivia Newton-John
in Grease,
222
00:07:01,856 --> 00:07:02,944
when she was pretending
to be someone she wasn't.
223
00:07:03,118 --> 00:07:04,424
Ooh-la-la.
224
00:07:04,598 --> 00:07:06,077
Oh, my God.
You don't even know
what a bad girl is.
225
00:07:06,251 --> 00:07:09,211
Hey! Ooh, that horse shindig
was fun, wasn't it?
226
00:07:09,385 --> 00:07:11,343
The hell it was.
227
00:07:11,518 --> 00:07:13,737
Oh, are you still upset
I haven't told my dad
I made his ponies dirty?
228
00:07:13,911 --> 00:07:15,696
That was like
30 minutes ago.
Get over it.
229
00:07:15,870 --> 00:07:17,480
It's been years,
230
00:07:17,654 --> 00:07:19,656
years of your
father's passive
aggressive resentment.
231
00:07:19,830 --> 00:07:21,310
You have to tell him.
232
00:07:21,484 --> 00:07:24,269
I hear you,
but here's the thing,
I don't want to.
233
00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:25,880
See, things used to be
pretty tense
234
00:07:26,054 --> 00:07:27,534
between me and old Lou.
235
00:07:27,708 --> 00:07:29,187
You know how
he calls me Jojo now?
236
00:07:29,361 --> 00:07:31,581
Well, he used to call me
a bad girl.
237
00:07:31,755 --> 00:07:33,409
Like Olivia Newton-John
in Grease.
238
00:07:33,583 --> 00:07:35,846
Have either of you
actually seen that movie?
239
00:07:36,020 --> 00:07:38,022
Like when she comes back
with those black pants,
240
00:07:38,196 --> 00:07:39,023
and her hair's all piled up?
241
00:07:39,197 --> 00:07:40,503
Ooh-la-la, right?
242
00:07:40,677 --> 00:07:42,810
Erica, you wouldn't want
a silly thing
243
00:07:42,984 --> 00:07:44,681
like the truth getting between
a father and a daughter.
244
00:07:44,855 --> 00:07:46,161
Especially now.
245
00:07:46,335 --> 00:07:48,511
I mean, things between us
have never been better.
246
00:07:48,685 --> 00:07:50,774
Still, all the
negative feelings that
he would have had for you,
247
00:07:50,948 --> 00:07:52,428
he's had for me.
248
00:07:52,602 --> 00:07:54,038
In my defense,
I never thought
you'd figure it out.
249
00:07:54,212 --> 00:07:57,346
Well, I have, and now
my relationship with your dad
250
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,435
is just supposed to suffer
for the rest of my life?
251
00:07:59,609 --> 00:08:02,046
No. Just until he dies.
Or you die.
252
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:03,961
Or I die.
253
00:08:04,135 --> 00:08:05,397
God, it's funny how
death is the answer
to so many problems.
254
00:08:05,572 --> 00:08:07,704
I have the perfect solution.
255
00:08:07,878 --> 00:08:09,227
We can't let Erica
take the blame,
256
00:08:09,401 --> 00:08:10,881
- because she didn't do it.
- Thank you.
257
00:08:11,055 --> 00:08:12,013
And we can't let Joanne
take the blame,
258
00:08:12,187 --> 00:08:13,493
because she's adorably
difficult.
259
00:08:13,667 --> 00:08:14,711
I got the right fella.
260
00:08:14,885 --> 00:08:16,408
- Then who, Barry?
- Someone else.
261
00:08:16,583 --> 00:08:17,801
Well, that narrows it down.
262
00:08:17,975 --> 00:08:19,368
You need specifics?
263
00:08:19,542 --> 00:08:20,717
- Buddy Kaplan.
- Who?
264
00:08:20,891 --> 00:08:23,503
He was this huge math geek
in our class.
265
00:08:23,677 --> 00:08:25,113
God only knows
what happened to him.
266
00:08:25,287 --> 00:08:26,375
We throw the blame
on Buddy,
267
00:08:26,549 --> 00:08:27,594
and all of Erica's
problems are solved.
268
00:08:27,768 --> 00:08:29,030
This can't be
our best option.
269
00:08:29,204 --> 00:08:30,205
I like it.
270
00:08:30,379 --> 00:08:31,467
Yeah, because
it's not you.
271
00:08:31,641 --> 00:08:33,600
God, I just love
how close we're getting.
272
00:08:33,774 --> 00:08:35,645
ADULT ADAM:
Yep, Joanne refused
to plead guilty.
273
00:08:35,819 --> 00:08:38,474
Meanwhile,
I was making my case to NYU.
274
00:08:38,648 --> 00:08:40,563
Excuse me, Dean Martin?
275
00:08:40,737 --> 00:08:42,478
I'm wait listed applicant
Adam F. Goldberg.
276
00:08:42,652 --> 00:08:43,827
I have an appointment.
277
00:08:44,001 --> 00:08:45,960
Ah, yes. Mr. Goldberg.
278
00:08:46,134 --> 00:08:47,091
Here we are.
279
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:49,485
We'll let you know.
280
00:08:49,659 --> 00:08:51,008
That's quicker
than I expected.
281
00:08:51,182 --> 00:08:52,662
Well, there's not
really a lot to say.
282
00:08:52,836 --> 00:08:54,577
It's just a process
that needs to play itself out.
283
00:08:54,751 --> 00:08:56,187
But you got to
let me in.
284
00:08:56,361 --> 00:08:58,799
I'm totally
NYU Film School material.
285
00:08:58,973 --> 00:09:00,888
Perhaps you missed
my killer essay?
286
00:09:01,062 --> 00:09:03,194
Was it about the first time
you held a video camera
287
00:09:03,368 --> 00:09:05,414
and you knew what
you wanted to do
with your life?
288
00:09:05,588 --> 00:09:06,763
Wow. I guess
it really stood out.
289
00:09:06,937 --> 00:09:07,851
It didn't.
290
00:09:08,025 --> 00:09:10,071
But I took the bus here.
291
00:09:10,245 --> 00:09:11,942
The guy next to me
had a snake.
292
00:09:12,116 --> 00:09:14,379
It wasn't a pet.
I think he just found it.
293
00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:16,860
Mr. Goldberg, the students
are admitted for a reason.
294
00:09:17,034 --> 00:09:19,733
I'm talking about
unique life stories,
295
00:09:19,907 --> 00:09:22,431
personal achievements,
overcoming obstacles.
296
00:09:22,605 --> 00:09:25,652
Did you not hear
my harrowing snake bus tale?
297
00:09:25,826 --> 00:09:27,828
I assume you're from
an upper-middle-class,
suburban family?
298
00:09:28,002 --> 00:09:30,047
Well, I wouldn't say upper.
299
00:09:30,221 --> 00:09:33,094
Both our houses,
regular and beach,
are fairly modest.
300
00:09:33,268 --> 00:09:35,096
We are looking for people
who have thrived
301
00:09:35,270 --> 00:09:37,054
despite real obstacles.
302
00:09:37,228 --> 00:09:39,187
I got a crazy amount of those.
303
00:09:39,361 --> 00:09:41,668
I just need a little time
to narrow them down.
But I'll be back.
304
00:09:41,842 --> 00:09:43,670
Or you'll patiently wait
for our response.
305
00:09:43,844 --> 00:09:46,673
Ha! I just got roasted
by Dean Martin.
306
00:09:46,847 --> 00:09:49,197
ADULT ADAM:
So I gathered the people
who knew me best
307
00:09:49,371 --> 00:09:52,461
to remind me of some
of the many difficulties
I'd overcome.
308
00:09:52,635 --> 00:09:54,332
Okay. Obstacles.
What do we got?
309
00:09:54,506 --> 00:09:56,247
Uh, that substitute
PE teacher
310
00:09:56,421 --> 00:09:57,945
did make you
jump rope in gym.
311
00:09:58,119 --> 00:10:00,512
Not really. I just had to
collect all the jump ropes.
312
00:10:00,687 --> 00:10:02,471
But they did get into
a nasty tangle
313
00:10:02,645 --> 00:10:04,952
which took well into
my snack period to undo.
314
00:10:05,126 --> 00:10:07,694
Oh, you were
the most beautiful
little boy in kindergarten.
315
00:10:07,868 --> 00:10:09,260
How is that an obstacle?
316
00:10:09,434 --> 00:10:11,480
Well, a lot of the other
parents got quite miffed
317
00:10:11,654 --> 00:10:12,916
'cause I kept saying it.
318
00:10:13,090 --> 00:10:14,439
You said beating
"The Legend of Zelda"
319
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:16,137
took way longer
than you thought.
320
00:10:16,311 --> 00:10:18,269
You're thinking of "Zelda II:
The Adventure of Link," silly.
321
00:10:18,443 --> 00:10:20,271
Right. I am silly.
322
00:10:20,445 --> 00:10:21,621
What about that time
you were homesick
at space camp?
323
00:10:21,795 --> 00:10:23,100
Really, Dave Kim?
324
00:10:23,274 --> 00:10:25,189
You think my biggest challenge
was high-fiving
325
00:10:25,363 --> 00:10:27,191
American hero John Glenn?
326
00:10:27,365 --> 00:10:29,019
Is anybody seeing
an alarming trend?
327
00:10:29,193 --> 00:10:31,718
Video games, space camp.
Adam's kind of a nerd.
328
00:10:31,892 --> 00:10:33,720
Brea Bee,
I will run over your bike.
329
00:10:33,894 --> 00:10:36,810
Wait, she's right.
I am a nerd!
330
00:10:36,984 --> 00:10:38,986
No offense, man,
but you don't have
the grades to be a nerd.
331
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,901
Better!
I'm an underachieving nerd.
332
00:10:41,075 --> 00:10:42,554
Yes!
333
00:10:42,729 --> 00:10:44,774
My baby will overcome
the sheltered privilege
I provided!
334
00:10:49,170 --> 00:10:50,388
ADULT ADAM:
Joanne didn't want to
take the blame
335
00:10:50,562 --> 00:10:51,651
for disgracing Lou's horses,
336
00:10:51,825 --> 00:10:53,174
so they did
the next best thing
337
00:10:53,348 --> 00:10:53,957
and blamed
a complete stranger.
338
00:10:54,131 --> 00:10:55,959
Buddy Kaplan? Really?
339
00:10:56,133 --> 00:10:57,569
That's what we're all
saying here, I guess.
340
00:10:57,744 --> 00:10:59,093
Mm-hmm.
341
00:10:59,267 --> 00:11:01,269
But more importantly,
I didn't do it,
342
00:11:01,443 --> 00:11:03,053
so you can now see me
as the wonderful addition
343
00:11:03,227 --> 00:11:05,186
to your family that I am
and we can all move on.
344
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,231
I wish I could, but
Buddy Kaplan's my accountant.
345
00:11:07,405 --> 00:11:08,798
- You know him?
- Know him?
346
00:11:08,972 --> 00:11:10,539
We trust him with
our life savings.
347
00:11:10,713 --> 00:11:12,672
Not anymore!
I'm firing him immediately!
348
00:11:12,846 --> 00:11:13,760
You can't fire Buddy!
349
00:11:13,934 --> 00:11:14,978
He was a child then,
350
00:11:15,152 --> 00:11:17,067
and now he's an adult
with a child's name.
351
00:11:17,241 --> 00:11:18,199
Don't be stupid, son.
352
00:11:18,373 --> 00:11:20,331
Sure, he's got
four foster kids,
353
00:11:20,505 --> 00:11:22,769
but I'm not employing someone
who'd make my ponies
354
00:11:22,943 --> 00:11:25,293
perform acts against
their gentle nature.
355
00:11:25,467 --> 00:11:27,251
Who knew the fate
of so many lives
356
00:11:27,425 --> 00:11:28,818
could be affected
by those little
porcelain dolls?
357
00:11:28,992 --> 00:11:30,690
I know, right?
358
00:11:30,864 --> 00:11:33,214
A butterfly flaps its wings
in one part of the world,
359
00:11:33,388 --> 00:11:34,694
and now Buddy Kaplan
has to send his foster kids
360
00:11:34,868 --> 00:11:36,173
back into the system.
361
00:11:36,347 --> 00:11:37,697
It wasn't Buddy Kaplan.
362
00:11:37,871 --> 00:11:40,221
The person who did it was...
363
00:11:40,395 --> 00:11:41,962
Randy Sperling.
364
00:11:42,136 --> 00:11:43,050
Our lawyer?
365
00:11:43,224 --> 00:11:45,226
He and Buddy
set up our trust!
366
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,794
Why are you guys insistent on
hiring so many young people?
367
00:11:47,968 --> 00:11:50,710
I am a sucker for a young man
in Haggar slacks.
368
00:11:50,884 --> 00:11:52,276
It is a handsome pant.
369
00:11:52,450 --> 00:11:54,235
But now we have to
let the whole team go.
370
00:11:54,409 --> 00:11:56,411
Fine. I'll tell you
who really did it,
371
00:11:56,585 --> 00:11:58,195
but your heart's
gonna be shattered
into a million pieces.
372
00:11:58,369 --> 00:11:59,283
It was me!
373
00:11:59,457 --> 00:12:00,458
Geoffrey?
374
00:12:00,632 --> 00:12:02,460
The able bearer
of the Schwartz name?
375
00:12:02,634 --> 00:12:04,549
That's right.
I'm a nasty boy,
376
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:06,029
and I like nasty
horse business.
377
00:12:07,465 --> 00:12:08,815
LOU: Then show me, Geoffrey.
378
00:12:08,989 --> 00:12:12,296
Show me exactly
how the horses were posed.
379
00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:14,516
Well, they were...
They were face to face.
380
00:12:14,690 --> 00:12:16,910
And then their
giant horse lips met,
381
00:12:17,084 --> 00:12:18,738
and it was a magical,
consensual evening.
382
00:12:18,912 --> 00:12:20,348
Not even close.
383
00:12:20,522 --> 00:12:22,306
It was a tangle of
equine anatomy
384
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,047
from muzzle
to hindquarters.
385
00:12:24,221 --> 00:12:25,962
Fine. Barry did it.
386
00:12:26,136 --> 00:12:27,659
- Really?
- Why not?
387
00:12:27,834 --> 00:12:30,488
If you ask me, you're both
covering for someone else.
388
00:12:30,662 --> 00:12:32,839
Lou, don't get yourself
worked up again.
389
00:12:33,013 --> 00:12:36,407
This is just about
some silly ceramic horses.
390
00:12:36,581 --> 00:12:39,323
I've seen them at trade shows
for over $75!
391
00:12:39,497 --> 00:12:41,238
- Each?
- For an unsullied pair,
392
00:12:41,412 --> 00:12:43,632
which these are
no longer, Erica.
393
00:12:43,806 --> 00:12:46,069
You know what?
It was me, actually.
394
00:12:46,243 --> 00:12:49,116
I took... I took
Champ and Dottie here
395
00:12:49,290 --> 00:12:51,422
and I mashed them together,
sexy-style.
396
00:12:51,596 --> 00:12:53,033
I just...
397
00:12:53,207 --> 00:12:54,774
- Ohh!
- My loving treasures!
398
00:12:54,948 --> 00:12:57,602
I'm sorry. [SIGHS]
399
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:00,170
At least now you have
a real reason to hate me.

00:13:00,344 --> 00:13:02,607
Happy birthday.
401
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:05,654
ADULT ADAM:
Erica's horseplay had put her
deeper in Lou's doghouse.
402
00:13:05,828 --> 00:13:07,656
Meanwhile, I was about to
give the dean
403
00:13:07,830 --> 00:13:09,049
a dog and pony show
of my own.
404
00:13:09,223 --> 00:13:11,007
I figured out what
I've overcome.
405
00:13:11,181 --> 00:13:12,356
The need to knock when
you don't have an appointment?
406
00:13:12,530 --> 00:13:13,793
Zing, Deano.
407
00:13:13,967 --> 00:13:15,838
Actually, I'm here to
prove to you
408
00:13:16,012 --> 00:13:17,318
that I've endured
the greatest adversity
409
00:13:17,492 --> 00:13:18,493
in modern society.
410
00:13:18,667 --> 00:13:19,363
Nerdiness.
411
00:13:20,190 --> 00:13:21,278
I see.
412
00:13:21,452 --> 00:13:22,758
And who is this with you?
413
00:13:22,932 --> 00:13:25,021
This lovely lady is
my girlfriend
414
00:13:25,195 --> 00:13:27,894
and incoming
NYU freshman Brea Bee.
415
00:13:28,068 --> 00:13:29,896
She's here for moral
and easel support.
416
00:13:30,070 --> 00:13:31,941
So you're socially challenged,
417
00:13:32,115 --> 00:13:34,030
but somehow managed to land
this gorgeous woman?
418
00:13:34,204 --> 00:13:35,553
Please, she may be
a New York 10,
419
00:13:35,727 --> 00:13:36,554
but she's a Jenkintown 5.

00:13:36,728 --> 00:13:38,426
- Adam!
- Sorry!
421
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,123
But the stakes are high!

You know you're a fox.
Let me have a little sunshine.
423
00:13:42,256 --> 00:13:45,085
So you think NYU should
let you in because
you like Star Wars?
424
00:13:45,259 --> 00:13:46,434
More like love.

- Brea, you're on.
- Nerd alert! Nerd alert!
428
00:13:54,094 --> 00:13:56,270
You do realize that Star Wars
429
00:13:56,444 --> 00:13:58,272
is the most popular movie
franchise of all time, right?
430
00:13:58,446 --> 00:14:00,317
But I, like, really like it.
431
00:14:00,491 --> 00:14:02,145
You also threw
"video games" up there.
432
00:14:02,319 --> 00:14:04,365
Isn't that something
every teenage boy enjoys?
433
00:14:04,539 --> 00:14:06,976
But I, like, really like them.
434
00:14:07,150 --> 00:14:08,717
You also wrote "glasses,"
something I wear.
435
00:14:08,891 --> 00:14:10,240
Are you saying that
I'm a nerd?
436
00:14:10,414 --> 00:14:11,981
Gah!
437
00:14:12,155 --> 00:14:13,983
Why is this impossible?
I mean, she got in.

00:14:14,157 --> 00:14:15,593
- Adam!
- You know what I mean.

[SCOFFS]
No, I don't, actually.

I have better grades,
test scores,
and extracurriculars.
441
00:14:19,946 --> 00:14:21,382
Not to mention a better essay.
442
00:14:21,556 --> 00:14:22,513
That thing about divorce?
443
00:14:22,687 --> 00:14:24,776
Boo-hoo, you have
two Christmases.
444
00:14:24,951 --> 00:14:26,866
You know what?
Find someone else
to hold your easel.
445
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,650
The easel
stands on its own.
446
00:14:28,824 --> 00:14:30,434
I needed you to
flip the pictures!
447
00:14:32,915 --> 00:14:36,179
So did I do it?
Am I in?

As my dreams of NYU
were crumbling,
449
00:14:38,268 --> 00:14:40,401
Lou was trying to
pick up the pieces
450
00:14:40,575 --> 00:14:42,098
of his little horses.
451
00:14:42,272 --> 00:14:44,448

is completely gone.

Ugh. It's time for me
to do the right thing.
455
00:14:51,151 --> 00:14:52,892
I've glued Champ's tail
to Dottie's snout.

More upsetting than
the Frankenhorse
I just created?

posed your ponies.

So now you know
who to be angry with.

"kids make mistakes"?

For one second,
can you stop thinking about
how this affects you?

It's my dream to go to NYU
with Brea.

terrible idea.
