Mm-hmm. Okay, I'll check.

Remember how I said I needed a job?

87
00:03:52,140 --> 00:03:53,730
Can I take the next one instead?

88
00:03:53,810 --> 00:03:57,610
Yeah, I'm broke,
but not "sit for the Barretts" broke.

89
00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,990
What's wrong with the Barretts?

90
00:04:00,070 --> 00:04:02,530
The three kids are out of control,

91
00:04:02,610 --> 00:04:06,490
and the mom is in a recently divorced
wrecking ball phase.

92
00:04:06,870 --> 00:04:08,790
That's kind of reductive.

93

Excuse me.

94
00:04:10,450 --> 00:04:13,750
I mean, newly divorced?
A mom of three kids?

95
00:04:15,290 --> 00:04:17,130
Of course she's feeling overwhelmed.

96
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:19,670
Then why don't you take the job?

97
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:23,510
Does that mean I'm in the Club?

98
00:04:23,590 --> 00:04:26,760
Possibly, on a probationary basis.

99
00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:28,350
We'll see how she does...

100
00:04:29,390 --> 00:04:31,180
and then we'll make a final decision.

101
00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:34,850
So if she's great, which she will be,
she's in?

102
00:04:34,940 --> 00:04:36,730
And if she tanks,

103
00:04:37,190 --> 00:04:38,980
Natalie loses our number forever.

104
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,360

with a disorganized mom,

with the body of a risotto.

Mood boards. For your room.

You said I could change some things,
remember?

It's such a fun project for the girls,

159

and I'd be happy to help.

160

I have an attic full of stuff
I would love to find a new home for.

00:07:47,630 --> 00:07:48,590
I don't know.

178
00:07:48,670 --> 00:07:49,630
[woman] Does this look read,

179
00:07:49,710 --> 00:07:53,470
"Executive using a travel website
to book a last-minute getaway"?

180
00:07:53,550 --> 00:07:55,510
Um, sure, I think?

181
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,390
Oh, great. 'Cause I have an audition
and I was worried

182
00:07:57,470 --> 00:07:59,680
it was a little bit too "My ex has a jet."

183
00:07:59,770 --> 00:08:03,190
Ugh! I wish.
Anyway, thank you so much, Dana.

184
00:08:03,270 --> 00:08:06,230
-Oh, my baby's crying.
-Oh, it's Dawn, actually.

185
00:08:08,020 --> 00:08:09,860
Oh, I know why. Uh-oh.

186
00:08:09,940 --> 00:08:13,700
Someone needs a diaper change.
Here you go.

187
00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:16,830
Um, is there anything I should know?

188
00:08:17,660 --> 00:08:20,580
-Any house rules?
-Oh, I'm already late.

189
00:08:20,660 --> 00:08:24,540
You're gonna do amazing.
I can already tell. [laughs]

190
00:08:24,620 --> 00:08:25,630
[blows kisses]

191
00:08:26,460 --> 00:08:29,630
Dawn, you're in lava!

192
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:33,050
Oh, right. Um... uh...

193
00:08:34,130 --> 00:08:35,550
Maybe Kristy had a point.

194
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,640
Natalie was a little all over the place.

195
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,270
But my membership in the BSC was at stake.

196
00:08:40,350 --> 00:08:43,350
If I could help this family,
I'd almost be getting one of my own.

197
00:08:44,020 --> 00:08:46,650
-"He was missing his baseball hat,
-[gasps]

198
00:08:46,730 --> 00:08:48,860
but he kept walking along."

199
00:08:50,570 --> 00:08:52,360
-Dawn, how?
-I don't know that one.

200
00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:54,280
I mean, how?

201
00:08:54,950 --> 00:08:56,240
A little elbow grease.

202
00:08:56,490 --> 00:08:57,620
The kids helped.

203
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,450
Wow. I'm very impressed.

204
00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:03,870
[Dawn] She was so impressed,
she asked me back the next day.

205
00:09:04,330 --> 00:09:06,620
-[shouts, grunting]
-And the next.

206
00:09:06,750 --> 00:09:07,880
And the next.

207
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,380
-Put the scissors down!
-[laughing]

208
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,840
Dawn, can you find Buddy's sword?

209
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,590
Do you think I should grow out my bangs?

210
00:09:17,340 --> 00:09:18,340
Sure, yeah.

211
00:09:18,430 --> 00:09:19,890
Maybe I should get a perm.

212
00:09:21,010 --> 00:09:23,020
[Dawn]
So, yeah, Natalie was a little forgetful.

213
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:26,230
So forgetful, she apparently forgot 
to come home that night.

214
00:09:26,310 --> 00:09:29,610
Oh, no, you can't just take the kids
'cause your mother's in town.

215
00:09:29,690 --> 00:09:33,190
Well, where was your mother last weekend
when I needed you to take the kids, huh?

216
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,740
Where was she then? Oh, no--

217
00:09:34,820 --> 00:09:36,400
-Natalie, I have to go.
-Hi.

218
00:09:36,490 --> 00:09:37,950
[girl] Mommy, can I have some water?

219
00:09:38,660 --> 00:09:40,830
Oh, no, you're pathetic.

220
00:09:40,910 --> 00:09:42,910
-Your check came one week late this month.
-[Dawn sighs]

221
00:09:42,990 --> 00:09:46,210
And what does that really say
about you as a dad, hmm?

222
00:09:46,290 --> 00:09:47,500
[snores lightly]

223
00:09:48,540 --> 00:09:51,800
[Claudia] So, acid yellow or dove gray?

224
00:09:52,210 --> 00:09:54,170
Dawn. Dawn!

225
00:09:54,670 --> 00:09:57,590
[grunts] Huh? I'm fine, I just dozed off.

226
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:02,060
You fell asleep in biology class today.
Mrs. Fairmont definitely noticed.

227
00:10:02,140 --> 00:10:03,260
It's just...

228
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:04,930
[sighs] The Barretts.

229
00:10:05,020 --> 00:10:06,020
Knew it.

230
00:10:07,060 --> 00:10:08,230
It's not your fault.

231
00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:09,810
They're impossible.

232
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:12,440
Natalie leaves the house
looking like an earthquake hit it.

233
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,940
I mean, 
I started straightening up to help,

234
00:10:15,030 --> 00:10:16,610
but now she expects it,

235
00:10:16,690 --> 00:10:18,700
and she's bad about coming back on time,

236
00:10:18,780 --> 00:10:21,570
and the kids have no discipline.

237
00:10:21,660 --> 00:10:23,160
Sounds horrible.

238
00:10:23,830 --> 00:10:25,830
It'll be okay, you know? I'll just...

239
00:10:26,540 --> 00:10:28,290
have some sleep, and...

240
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,000
I'll be fine.

241
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,170
[Claudia] Cancel. Now.

242
00:10:33,250 --> 00:10:35,510
Seriously, Dawn.
You can't keep living like this,

243
00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:38,340
falling asleep in corners
and during frog dissections.

244
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:39,590
[Dawn] But the kids need me.

245
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:42,010
Bailing on them with everything going on

246
00:10:42,850 --> 00:10:44,560
would just make everything worse.

247
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,430
And I'm still on probation, right?

248
00:10:49,310 --> 00:10:51,900
Maybe you can talk to Natalie.

249
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,480
Discuss what's okay and what's not
to ask of a babysitter.

250
00:10:55,570 --> 00:11:00,240
Or maybe the family just needs
someone a little more experienced,

251
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,570
someone who can set boundaries.

252
00:11:05,740 --> 00:11:07,910
[Dawn] Of course! That was the answer.

253
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,330
Allow the divine spark in myself

254
00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:13,250
to recognize the divine spark
within Kristy Thomas.

255
00:11:13,630 --> 00:11:15,750
Namaste her into submission.

256
00:11:18,630 --> 00:11:22,180
Kristy, you know how much I want
to join the club.

257
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,050
I don't want to fail these kids.

258
00:11:24,140 --> 00:11:27,270
You are the most experienced sitter
I know.

259
00:11:28,140 --> 00:11:29,930
What if you came over to my house tomorrow

260
00:11:30,020 --> 00:11:31,390
and gave me some tips?

261
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,860
[doorbell rings]

262
00:11:36,570 --> 00:11:40,610
-Hi!
-Hi! Kristy! Oh, come here. [grunts]

263
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:41,610
So nice to meet you.

264
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:43,410
-Welcome to the neighborhood.
-[gasps, laughs]

265
00:11:43,490 --> 00:11:45,280
-Here you go. I'm Liz Thomas.
-Thank you.

266
00:11:45,370 --> 00:11:46,780
Nice to meet you. Sharon Porter.

267
00:11:46,870 --> 00:11:48,950
I've been meaning to stop by
and say hello.

268
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,120
I actually tried to get this listing
for months.

269
00:11:51,210 --> 00:11:52,670
Oh, well, come in.

270
00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:55,080
The house was empty for quite a while.

271
00:11:55,170 --> 00:11:58,210
My parents have a lot of property
that we don't know what to do with.

272
00:11:58,300 --> 00:11:59,130
I had no idea.

273
00:11:59,210 --> 00:12:01,970
Sorry, my mom networks
like most people breathe.

274
00:12:02,050 --> 00:12:03,050
How about you give me a tour?

275
00:12:03,130 --> 00:12:05,010
Oh, I would love to. Come down, come down.

276
00:12:05,090 --> 00:12:08,010
Oh, Kristy, Dawn's upstairs.
Shut the door, will you?

277
00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:11,350
So down here, I'm going to brew
my own kombucha.

278
00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:12,440
[Liz] Kombucha!

279
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,690
[Sharon] For adults only.

280
00:12:13,770 --> 00:12:15,690
What temperature is officially a fever?

281
00:12:15,770 --> 00:12:18,150
99.8 Fahrenheit under the tongue,

282
00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:20,240
and 100.4 Fahrenheit in the behind.

283
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,160
Right, and what makes the perfect crust
on a grilled cheese?

284
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,570
A hot pan?

285
00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:29,200
Mayonnaise or Nayonaise if you must,

286
00:12:29,290 --> 00:12:31,620
but always ask the client if they're okay
with you using the stove.

287
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:33,460
And about any food allergies.

288
00:12:33,540 --> 00:12:35,790
You never know,
and a parent may forget to tell you.

289
00:12:37,790 --> 00:12:40,260
I mean, it's a small town,
so there's not a ton of options,

290
00:12:40,340 --> 00:12:43,680
but Watson, my fiancé,
does have a few decent friends,

291
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:44,680
and they're not all bald.

292
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,050
-[both laugh]
-Well, actually, I'm seeing someone.

293
00:12:47,510 --> 00:12:49,560
-Oh!
-Or seeing again, that is.

294
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,640
We knew each other in high school.

295
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,430
We're taking it slow, but...

296
00:12:54,190 --> 00:12:55,350
Sounds romantic.

297
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,190
Would I know who this person is?

298
00:12:57,310 --> 00:12:58,310
-Richard Spier.
-[exclaims]

299
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,860
[whistling]

300
00:12:59,980 --> 00:13:01,070
What is that?

301
00:13:01,530 --> 00:13:03,570
That's just Kristy, I'm sure.

302
00:13:03,650 --> 00:13:05,570
Richard, huh?

303
00:13:05,660 --> 00:13:07,120
-Yeah, you know him?
-I do.

304
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,370
-[laughing]
-I do.

305
00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:13,750
I'm sorry. He's not quite...

306
00:13:14,410 --> 00:13:17,420
the person that I would picture you with.
Do you know what I mean?

307
00:13:18,250 --> 00:13:19,460
Oh, what makes you say that?

308
00:13:19,540 --> 00:13:22,710
Uh, he means well.

309
00:13:23,630 --> 00:13:26,880
You just seem so lovely and free,

310
00:13:26,970 --> 00:13:29,550
and he just tucks that shirt in so tight.

311
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,390
-You know what I'm saying?
-He does.

312
00:13:31,970 --> 00:13:33,930
But, you know, he's been through a lot,

313
00:13:34,350 --> 00:13:37,690
and actually,
he's really easygoing and sweet.

314
00:13:37,770 --> 00:13:40,320
-Aww.
-Just like when we were kids, so...

315
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,730
Well, I'm glad to hear he's coming out
of his shell.

316
00:13:42,820 --> 00:13:44,990
-[whistling]
-All right!

317
00:13:45,450 --> 00:13:46,860
-God!
-[yawns]

318
00:13:46,950 --> 00:13:47,780
[continues whistling]

319
00:13:48,610 --> 00:13:50,910
The whistle shocked him enough
to drop the baguette.

320
00:13:51,410 --> 00:13:54,580
You have to get them calm so they can
tell you what's really the matter.

321
00:13:54,660 --> 00:13:58,040
David Michael wasn't really upset
that the cheese was too yellow.

322
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,920
He felt ignored,
so he wielded bread as his weapon.

323
00:14:01,290 --> 00:14:02,210
Totally.

324
00:14:02,670 --> 00:14:03,960
How do you whistle like that?

325
00:14:04,630 --> 00:14:06,010
It's a family secret.

326
00:14:06,590 --> 00:14:08,010
Oh, come on.

327
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,720
Okay, fine,
so you put your hand like this,

328
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,850
and then you... tightly behind your teeth.

329
00:14:12,930 --> 00:14:14,430
[cell phone ringing]

330
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,310
[chuckles] Sorry, my dad always 
Facetimes me around this time.

331
00:14:17,940 --> 00:14:19,980
-Like, every day?
-Almost.

332
00:14:20,060 --> 00:14:22,400
We try and catch up more on the weekends.

333
00:14:23,860 --> 00:14:24,690
Hi, Daddy.

334
00:14:24,780 --> 00:14:26,610
Hey, baby! Say hi to Gus!

335
00:14:26,690 --> 00:14:28,070
She was about to say hi.

336
00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:30,110
Hi, Gus. What are you guys making?

337
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,570
[dad] Frittatas with pea shoots.

338
00:14:31,660 --> 00:14:34,370
Are you being insane
about the size of the chopped vegetables?

339
00:14:34,450 --> 00:14:35,910
Um, I should go.

340
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,750
Oh, wait. Daddy, can I call you back?

341
00:14:37,830 --> 00:14:41,000
No, it's fine. Talk to your dad.

342
00:14:41,710 --> 00:14:44,840
[Dawn] Maybe taking a call
was against babysitting protocol,

343
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,590
but it wasn't the only one
she pulled a disappearing act on.

344
00:14:47,670 --> 00:14:48,630
I don't know.

345
00:14:49,130 --> 00:14:52,180
She booked it out of my house like
I told her I had leprosy or something.

346
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,180
Maybe she didn't feel good.

347
00:14:54,260 --> 00:14:55,180
Yeah.

348
00:14:55,260 --> 00:14:57,810
You know what would really pop?
A statement wall.

349
00:14:58,350 --> 00:15:01,400
But the wallpaper border,
we can't just paint over that.

350
00:15:01,810 --> 00:15:03,980
Well, it's starting to peel
in the corner over here.

351
00:15:04,070 --> 00:15:05,650
Let's see. [grunts]

352
00:15:06,070 --> 00:15:08,950
-Ahh!
-[laughing]

353
00:15:09,030 --> 00:15:09,860
[Sharon] Here.

354
00:15:10,740 --> 00:15:11,570
Get up here.

355
00:15:12,490 --> 00:15:13,530
[Claudia] Oh, my God.

356
00:15:13,620 --> 00:15:16,660
-[Sharon] There we go!
-[laughing]

357
00:15:16,740 --> 00:15:19,210
-What's going on?
-[gasps] Richie! There you are.

358
00:15:19,290 --> 00:15:21,000
We're trying to see
if we can paint over the border.

359
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,210
By ripping paper
off the walls of my house?

360
00:15:23,630 --> 00:15:25,090
Dad, it was already peeling.

361
00:15:25,550 --> 00:15:28,380
I just wanted to make sure
that it wouldn't pull off the plaster.

362
00:15:28,460 --> 00:15:31,930
My daughter and I talked about pillows
and a lamp.

363
00:15:37,890 --> 00:15:39,140
[sighs]

364
00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:43,900
Richard, I just thought it'd be fun
for us all to have a little, you know,

365
00:15:43,980 --> 00:15:45,060
girls' time in here

366
00:15:45,150 --> 00:15:47,940
-and paint it bright colors--
-You should go.

367
00:15:48,610 --> 00:15:49,440
All of you.

368
00:15:49,940 --> 00:15:51,610
Well, maybe if we just talk about this--

369
00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:54,280
I'm sorry, I think it's just too late.

370
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:56,990
Uh, girls.

371
00:15:58,410 --> 00:15:59,250
Let's go.

372
00:15:59,870 --> 00:16:00,750
Come on, sweetie.

373
00:16:15,850 --> 00:16:17,140
[exhales]

374
00:16:21,140 --> 00:16:24,230
[Dawn] My mom didn't say another word
for the rest of the night.

375
00:16:26,270 --> 00:16:27,570
[Natalie sobbing] I'm so sorry.

376
00:16:29,940 --> 00:16:33,450
I know it hasn't been easy. [sniffles]

377
00:16:33,530 --> 00:16:35,450
But if you could see inside my heart,

378
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,120
you would see...

379
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,370
Oh, shoot. Line!

380
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,000
"You would see how much
I need this kidney, Dr. Blatchton."

381
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,080
Why do I keep tripping on that line?

382
00:16:46,580 --> 00:16:50,000
-Can I go play with David Michael?
-You're grounded for flooding my bathroom.

383
00:16:50,090 --> 00:16:52,010
I was being Aquaman!

384
00:16:53,470 --> 00:16:56,640
Natalie, um... 
I've been meaning to talk to you.

385
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,220
He's just like his father.

386
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,220
He wants what he wants when he wants it.

387
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,140
Yeah, but--

388
00:17:03,230 --> 00:17:06,270
So you give it
and then you give up on yourself.

389
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,940
And then one day you're alone,
starting over,

390
00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:13,610
one yogurt commercial audition at a time.

391
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:18,370
But I have to make it work.

392
00:17:19,330 --> 00:17:22,330
I have to prove to my kids
that I can make something of myself.

393
00:17:27,830 --> 00:17:28,710
Of course you do.

394
00:17:29,670 --> 00:17:32,000
Dawn. [sniffles, sighs]

395
00:17:32,130 --> 00:17:33,170
You're the best.

396
00:17:34,340 --> 00:17:36,930
I'll be back after
my cryogenic freeze facial.

397
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,760
Wait, I thought you had an audition.

398
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,350
Monday. I have to look my best.

399
00:17:43,310 --> 00:17:44,480
Toodle-oo!

400
00:17:47,810 --> 00:17:48,940
[sighs]

401
00:17:50,940 --> 00:17:52,020
Hey, Buddy.

402
00:17:52,650 --> 00:17:54,570
Want to have a "Great British Snack Off"?

403
00:17:55,530 --> 00:17:57,070
Buddy!

404
00:18:01,580 --> 00:18:02,450
Buddy?

405
00:18:03,540 --> 00:18:04,370
Bu--

406
00:18:06,870 --> 00:18:07,870
Buddy!

407
00:18:09,290 --> 00:18:10,130
Buddy!

408
00:18:10,540 --> 00:18:13,670
Okay. Okay.
He wanted to play with David Michael,

409
00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:15,510
[panting] so he must have gone there.

410
00:18:15,590 --> 00:18:18,840
I knew calling Kristy meant
I would never be in The Baby-Sitters Club,

411
00:18:18,930 --> 00:18:21,140
but finding Buddy was more important.

412
00:18:23,470 --> 00:18:24,810
[rings]

413
00:18:26,270 --> 00:18:27,100
Speaking.

414
00:18:27,180 --> 00:18:30,060
-Is Buddy Barrett at your house?
-Aren't you watching him?

415
00:18:30,150 --> 00:18:32,230
He left the back door open,
and he's not here.

416
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,110
And he said he wanted to go to your house.

417
00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:36,900
I'm on my way.

418
00:18:37,610 --> 00:18:39,860
Hi, uh, this is Kristy.

419
00:18:39,950 --> 00:18:42,200
Dawn and I were sitting for Buddy Barrett.

420
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,290
-Buddy, he's gone and...
-[Dawn] Natalie's phone was off,

421
00:18:45,370 --> 00:18:47,540
and naturally, she left no other numbers.

422
00:18:47,620 --> 00:18:49,500
So Kristy found the school directory

423
00:18:49,580 --> 00:18:51,630
and called everywhere
she thought Buddy could be.

424
00:18:51,710 --> 00:18:52,790
Nobody'd seen him.

425
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,420
I was afraid he had run away
or been taken.

426
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:59,050
So Kristy called the cops,
and I called my mom.

427
00:18:59,130 --> 00:19:00,800
-They're gonna find him, baby.
-[whimpers]

428
00:19:00,890 --> 00:19:02,970
-What if they don't?
-They will.

429
00:19:03,050 --> 00:19:03,930
[kisses]

430
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:05,470
[man] Hello.

431
00:19:09,690 --> 00:19:11,690
What's going on?

432
00:19:11,770 --> 00:19:13,690
Sir, I need you to identify yourself.

433
00:19:13,770 --> 00:19:16,360
-Okay.
-Daddy! I love you!

434
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,070
[dad] I love you, too, munchkin.

435
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:22,700
Dawn, you should have seen me today
at swim class.

436
00:19:22,780 --> 00:19:25,330
-I held my breath for one whole lap.
-[exhales]

437
00:19:25,660 --> 00:19:28,200
Officers, I'm Hamilton Barrett.
I'm Buddy's father.

438
00:19:28,750 --> 00:19:32,040
I picked Buddy up a couple hours ago
for swimming lessons, like I always do.

439
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:33,630
Didn't Natalie tell you about that?

440
00:19:33,710 --> 00:19:34,630
What?

441
00:19:35,210 --> 00:19:37,130
No. She must have--

442
00:19:37,210 --> 00:19:38,630
Forgotten. Yeah.

443
00:19:38,710 --> 00:19:40,300
Of course. It's not surprising.

444
00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:43,590
Buddy was outside.
I thought he was waiting for me.

445
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,810
She does that sometimes,
so we don't have to see each other.

446
00:19:46,890 --> 00:19:50,690
I didn't know she had a sitter today.
I'm so sorry.

447
00:19:50,770 --> 00:19:52,940
-You must have had quite a scare.
-[baby wailing]

448
00:19:53,020 --> 00:19:54,270
That's Marnie, I'll--

449
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:55,310
[Hamilton] No, I'll grab her.

450
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,320
Sir, we just have a few more questions,

451
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,320
and we should probably
talk to your ex-wife.

452
00:19:59,780 --> 00:20:01,360
Of course, whatever you need.

453
00:20:01,780 --> 00:20:03,240
All right, I'll be right back.

454
00:20:03,990 --> 00:20:05,620
All right, let's go check on your sister.

455
00:20:05,700 --> 00:20:08,450
[Suzi and Buddy] Check on my sister.

456
00:20:14,830 --> 00:20:16,460
Can you believe this?

457
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,170
Natalie not telling me about Buddy's dad
taking him swimming?

458
00:20:20,260 --> 00:20:24,090
So I was supposed to hand over a kid
to a strange man,

459
00:20:24,180 --> 00:20:26,970
while she's off having her face frozen off
or something?

460
00:20:30,310 --> 00:20:31,180
[Sharon] Girls!

461
00:20:31,270 --> 00:20:32,690
-Are you okay?
-Yeah.

462
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:36,860
[Dawn] I didn't know what was wrong.

463
00:20:36,940 --> 00:20:37,860
And then,

464
00:20:37,940 --> 00:20:41,780
I remembered something a very wise,
very experienced babysitter told me.

465
00:20:41,860 --> 00:20:43,280
[shouts]

466
00:20:44,530 --> 00:20:45,530
I'm-- I'm sorry.

467
00:20:45,610 --> 00:20:48,330
I wanted you to calm down
and tell me what was wrong.

468
00:20:48,410 --> 00:20:51,450
[stammers]
Like David Michael and the bread.

469
00:20:52,790 --> 00:20:53,710
[Dawn sighs]

470
00:20:55,460 --> 00:20:57,040
[laughs] His dad.

471
00:20:57,130 --> 00:20:59,170
He was with his dad all the time.

472
00:20:59,590 --> 00:21:03,090
Everyone's dad is just so desperate
to hang out with them.

473
00:21:03,550 --> 00:21:05,720
Mr. Barrett takes Buddy to swimming.

474
00:21:06,090 --> 00:21:09,560
Mary Anne's dad wants her home with him
every second of every day,

475
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,430
and your dad Facetimes you constantly,
but my dad...

476
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,810
My dad left me.

477
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:20,780
I don't know where he is.

478
00:21:21,530 --> 00:21:24,490
[sighs]
He hasn't called me in a year and a half.

479
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,320
[exhales]

480
00:21:28,450 --> 00:21:29,740
[sobbing]

481
00:21:30,620 --> 00:21:33,450
[Dawn]
Behind every tantrum is something else.

482
00:21:35,660 --> 00:21:36,830
Kristy, look at me.

483
00:21:39,500 --> 00:21:42,460
You have many, many people
who want to be in your life.

484
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,090
Your mom and your brothers,

485
00:21:45,510 --> 00:21:48,180
the Club, Mary Anne.

486
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:49,850
My mom has Watson.

487
00:21:49,930 --> 00:21:51,560
My brothers have each other.

488
00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:53,930
Mary Anne has you.

489
00:21:54,810 --> 00:21:57,230
That doesn't mean she loves you any less.

490
00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,980
She's still your friend.

491
00:22:01,190 --> 00:22:02,110
So am I.

492
00:22:03,530 --> 00:22:04,360
But...

493
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,450
I've been so mean to you. [sniffles]

494
00:22:08,820 --> 00:22:09,740
It's okay.

495
00:22:11,030 --> 00:22:13,870
We're both strong women
with big personalities.

496
00:22:13,950 --> 00:22:14,870
[laughs]

497
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:18,080
And you can't just let anyone
into the BSC.

498
00:22:18,830 --> 00:22:22,500
I think I should probably let you in.

499
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,420
No more probation?

500
00:22:25,050 --> 00:22:26,340
You'll need a title.

501
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,010
Alternate officer.
It means you'll do it all.

502
00:22:30,850 --> 00:22:31,680
Because you can.

503
00:22:32,810 --> 00:22:34,560
You are kind of alternative,

504
00:22:35,020 --> 00:22:36,640
in a '90s sense.

505
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,770
I should probably clean this up.

506
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:43,480
Oh, Natalie won't even notice.

507
00:22:43,570 --> 00:22:45,570
[laughing]

508
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,110
Thank you.

509
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,410
You're welcome.

510
00:22:52,830 --> 00:22:53,780
[sighs]

511
00:22:54,660 --> 00:22:56,700
[Dawn] We don't have a choice
in who our parents are.

512
00:22:57,540 --> 00:22:59,500
-You get who you get.
-[knock on door]

513
00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:03,170
Hey. It's time for dinner.

514
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:05,380
Go away.

515
00:23:10,340 --> 00:23:12,470
[Dawn] If you're lucky enough
to have them at all.

516
00:23:15,010 --> 00:23:17,390
There are no bylaws of being a mom or dad.

517
00:23:18,020 --> 00:23:18,850
No rules.

518
00:23:19,230 --> 00:23:22,190
No written constitution
you can read over winter break.

519
00:23:29,650 --> 00:23:30,780
[shudders]

520
00:23:34,330 --> 00:23:36,540
-Try the eggplant. It sings.
-Hmm.

521
00:23:37,580 --> 00:23:39,460
-[cell phone ringing]
-[groans]

522
00:23:39,910 --> 00:23:42,170
"Natalie Barrett." Oh, no.

523
00:23:43,420 --> 00:23:45,590
This is Dawn's phone. This is her mother.

524
00:23:45,670 --> 00:23:46,500
Mom.

525
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,130
I'm sorry, Dawn cannot come to the phone
right now.

526
00:23:49,210 --> 00:23:51,090
She's a kid who has her own life to live.

527
00:23:51,180 --> 00:23:54,760
Sort out yours and then
you can apologize to my daughter.

528
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,140
I could have told her that myself.

529
00:23:59,730 --> 00:24:01,770
I know, baby, but I'm your mom,

530
00:24:02,390 --> 00:24:04,650
and once in a while,
I want to take care of you.

531
00:24:05,310 --> 00:24:08,820
[Dawn] Parents are just older weirdos
doing the best they can.

532
00:24:08,900 --> 00:24:09,780
Now try the eggplant.

533
00:24:09,860 --> 00:24:11,200
[Dawn] Just like the rest of us.

534
00:24:12,150 --> 00:24:13,070
Okay.

535
00:24:13,660 --> 00:24:17,330
[both laughing] Three, two, one.

536
00:24:17,450 --> 00:24:18,330
