A Teacher

Hey.

‐ Hey.

‐ Hey, Claire.

‐ Dad.

Nate let me come along. I hope you don't mind.

‐ Let's just go. Okay?

Well, I suppose I better get on back to the store.

All right. ‐ Tell the kids I said hi.

‐ Will do. They've been asking about you.

I know you're in a tough spot,

but you're gonna make it through it.

Trust me. I've been there.

Um, I know we ain't been close,

but I'd like to be there for you now.

If you'll let me.

‐ Thanks.

‐ Later, Pop.

‐ You should have told me you were bringing Dad.

It was a complete ambush.

He just wanted to help out his daughter.

I didn't see it as a big deal.

‐ How long have you guys been talking?

‐ Well, ever since Lisa went back full time,

he's been helping out with the kids.

It's been nice.

‐ Yeah, until it's not.

Well, he's been sober almost seven years.

So...

So, uh, you can stay here as long as you want.

Uh...there are some ground rules, though.

I told Lisa you'd get a job soon,

so get a job soon.

Make the probation officer happy too.

‐ Going job hunting tomorrow.

Good.

If you're hungry, there's stuff up in the fridge.

Have at it.

Um...

Matt brought by most of your things.

So you should be good there too.

‐ Oh.

How's he doing?

‐ You know...

‐ I'm sure he's happy that the divorce

is almost finalized.

I wouldn't say he's happy

about pretty much anything right now.

All right.

I'm gonna head back to work. I'll be back later.

‐ Hey, Nate, thank you for letting me stay here.

I‐‐I really appreciate it, and I know that Lisa is‐‐

‐ Oh, it's‐‐it's fine.

I'll see you tonight.

‐ Hey. Lisa.

‐ Hi.

Starting early, huh?

‐ Yeah, sorry. I should have asked you first.

Just been such a while since I've had any wine.

Um, can I pour you a glass?

‐ No. Maybe later.

You look surprisingly good, considering.

‐ Thanks.

Just wanted to feel like myself again.

‐ Aunt Claire! Hi, sweetie.

‐ Hey. Aww, I missed you guys.

Hi. ‐ Hey, guys.

Auntie Claire must be really tired

from her big day, so why don't we just

leave her alone for a little bit, okay?

‐ I'm‐‐I'm fine.

Let's go get some snacks.

Let's go.

‐

Hi. Hey.

What can I get you?

‐ Um...could I get a small latte

and...maybe one of your scones, please?

‐ It'll be $7.50.

‐

Crap. Uh...

I'll just get the latte, please.

‐ Well, it's on the house.

Really? ‐ Yeah.

‐ Thank you. ‐ You're welcome.

Your latte will be right up. ‐ Okay.

These totally changed my life.

Got, like, five pairs at home.

It's dumb that something as trivial

as a pair of leggings can make you feel so different.

Plus, they make your butt look so good.

‐ I mean, they are really cute.

They're so cute.

‐ All right. I'm sold.

‐ Looking for a job?

‐ I was thinking about applying.

‐ I feel like you'd be such a good fit.

Let's get you an application.

Great.

‐ Okay, so you just fill out one of these,

do an interview‐‐our target customer's everyone,

blah, blah, blah‐‐and after a quick background check,

we'll be good.

‐ Okay.

So about the background check‐‐

um, there may be this small misdemeanor

that comes up, but I think‐‐

‐ Claire Wilson?

It really is you.

‐ Excuse me for just one minute.

You're out already?

‐ I served my time, Victoria.

Oh, come on, you gotta be kidding me.

Okay. No, no, no.

This woman cannot work here.

Google her. You'll see.

Claire Wilson‐‐she's a sexual predator.

Excuse me.

Uh, do you know how much longer?

I've been waiting for over an hour.

‐ They'll call you when they're ready.

‐ Okay.

‐ We'll do your sample and then go over
