Hey, how'd that job interview go?

Great. Fantastic.

Really? No.

You know what you should invent?

Like a shoe lojack. Like a beeper thing, you know.

I was thinking about a kid's shoe with a clicker.

Beeps, you find it.

That's great, I love I it's brill!

It was my idea,

and I feel like you just kind of took it.

Hey, Gord, nobody's phoning it in.

You are an essential part of this company, okay?

And we're in trouble.

Gordon is the boss, and you're just a serf, son.

You know what happens to serfs. They get beheaded.

I'd like to offer you a job.

Come on!

I'm in, I'm in, I'm in!

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah.

New York. Yes.

I miss you guys. Miss you.

Yeah? You sure? Yeah, I do.

This is gonna be fine, right?

Yep.

What, you don't think?

You don't think it's gonna be fine?

Honey, I just said everything's gonna be fine.

Well, you didn't sound very convincing.

Oh, my God, giving Sarah a job is a great idea.

It's gonna work out. Yeah, I mean, she's smart.

She's talented, she knows it's my territory.

She's gonna respect that, right?

100%.

You're all fidgety.

I'm not fidgety. You are fidgety.

You're, like, fidgety. I'm not fidgety.

Go get in your car, grab a latte.

Get your muffin. Have your morning routine.

You'll be fine.

Honey, why is Suze Lessing walking up to our front door

at 7:30 in the morning?

What? Suze Lessing.

Uh-oh. She has that look.

What look?

That look like she wants something from us.

Listen, you're gonna have to deal with this.

I gotta get to work.

Hello. Good morning. I can't walk in my shoes.

Will you hold that for one second?

What do you think?

I feel like I just need something to cover up, you know.

The blazer, but it's good on its own.

You look great. Fabulous.

So, what, you're working at Uncle Adam's,

but you're still working at the bar?

Yeah, but it's just temporary.

And grandma and grandpa will look after you.

Not that you need babysitting, but, you know,

just make sure they do something.

It's cool. Take it easy.

Hey, if you need help with your math,

just call Aunt Julia, 'cause, disturbingly,

she remembers everything from High School.

I remember math. I can help her with--

it's changed, mom. It's different now.

It's not the same math. You know what?

We got your back, sweetheart.

Can't even drink this 'cause I'm just too...

Take it easy. Nervous.

Okay! I'm gonna do it.

Here I go. Okay.

Make it happen. Bye!

Bye. Good luck. Good luck!

Yeah, thank you.

Just need the keys and my wallet, that's all.

Okay, love you! Bye!

All right, bug, you have a good day, all right?

See you tonight.

Love you. Love you!

Mmm!

Excuse me.

Well, hello.

You're Sydney's mom.

Yes, I am. And who are you?

I'm Amy, and I want to have a play date with Sydney.

You do? Well, great.

How's tomorrow, after school?

Um, tomorrow...

I don't see why not.

So we're on?

We're on.

Great.

There he is, there he is, there he is!

Buddy, come here!

Oh, I'm so happy to see you!

Mmm! I missed you.

Mmm.

Nice outfit. Thank you.

'80s, isn't it?

Mmm.

Mmm.

I missed you. I missed you too.

I can't wait to talk to you In private.

I need to talk to you too.

In private.

Okay. Okay.

Buddy, how come you smell so good?

I took a bath.

You took a bath?

You must have woke up so early to take a bath.

All right, just remember, this is an internship.

So expectations low.

What do you mean? Whose expectations?

My expectations? Your expectations.

Everybody's expectations.

It's a terrible pep talk. You're gonna do great.

I'm not gonna do great. It's a bad mistake.

It's a dumb idea.

Listen to me. You're gonna do great.

I don't even know what I'm supposed to be doing great at.

Look, all you gotta do is go with the flow.

Just listen and learn.

That's it. Listen and learn.

Yeah. Okay, I can do that.

Okay. After you. Okay. Oh, hey.

Yep.

Hey, everybody. Good morning.

I'd like to introduce you to Sarah Braverman.

This is my sister, obviously.

She's the intern that I told you about.

This is Eddie, he's the head of our design team.

He's gonna introduce everybody and get you started.

Okay. All right?

Have a good day. Thanks.

Ahem.

Hi. Heh.

Anyone ever heard of nepotism?

'Cause I sure have.

I'm just kidding, that's-- well, I'm not kidding.

But anyway...

It's okay. Here.

It's really hot, okay?

Okay. Thanks.

Ohh.

I don't--I don't know how it happened.

I was just a day like any other day,

and then, the next thing I know,

we're getting divorced.

I'm sorry. He says I'm obsessed...

With Noel.

I mean, of course I'm obsessed.

Who isn't obsessed?

I mean, does he think that I want to spend

every waking hour focusing on getting Noel through the day?

Anything Adam and I can do? Oh, God!

I'm sorry.

And Noel doesn't know yet!

I can't figure out how to tell him

and neither can Phil and...

He's such a good dad.

I mean, he's-- he loves Noel so much.

And I'm so mad at him! Yeah.

What can I do to help you? Oh, God.

I want to help you. I want to.

I have a meeting with Noel's teacher after school,

and then I have a board meeting after that.

Why don't I pick him up?

No. No. I'll pick Noel up, of course.

No. Suze...

Let me.

I could drop him off, maybe?

Is that okay? Absolutely.

Oh, thank you so much.

It's okay. I'm so sorry.

Want your tea?

Yes. It's hot.

It's too hot. Nothing works.

Oh, God, I'm sorry. I can cool it down.

I haven't even been here that long.

I'm doing so well.

It's like those lame brains

didn't even know anything about shoes.

Hey, Sarah. Sarah. 'Cause I'm telling them--what?

I want you to meet Gordon Flint.

He's the founder and president of T&S.

This is my sister Sarah. Oh, my God.

You, uh, were saying?

I--I have a terrible self-esteem,

and it causes me to overcompensate.

The design team is awesome, truly.

I--I know. I...Hired them.

Yes, I'm sure you did.

There's so--good-- well done.

Okay, I don't know why I came in here,

but, um, I am gonna--oh!
