Parenthood

I want you to meet my granddaughter Haddie.

Alex is the volunteer coordinator here.

I'm an alcoholic.

Romantic relationships just aren't good for me right now.

It was a woman... Up north.

Mom.

I know that you cheated on mom.

How could you do that to her?

We did it to each other, Adam.

That's Matthew. He's amazing.

I went back to Matthew's place.

And?

How come you don't know her password?

How would I know her password?

Didn't you overhear it once?

I don't understand how everything we do is wrong.

What are you guys doing?

I'm officially not a part of this.

They were trying to get me

to look up your S.A.T. score.

- What? - What are you, a narc?

No, I'm not a narc.

This is really a new low for you guys.

You got to tear off the band-aid,

you know, see what's underneath.

- What is this? - You studied hard,

and we just want to be here for you.

You got anything?

- Yeah. - Yeah, here it is.

All right, but we have to add these, though.

They don't add it for you?

Okay, somebody add, somebody add.

Do we have a calculator or...?

770, 775, 705.

Okay, so you got to carry the three.

2250.

70--

- huh? - 2250?

- I said it once. - Really?

Wait. What?

2400 is a perfect score, so...

- Hang on. Wait. - Unbelievable.

It might be a mistake.

She apparently is a genius.

Oh, my God! No!

All right! Yeah! Come here.

Literally brilliant.

Everyone, get off me!

Aah!

Yeah, Janet, a car pool sounds like a really good idea.

I just--be careful, okay, buddy?

I don't know anything about an invitation.

Which Emily-- Berger, Martin?

Yeah, Max likes her.

Hey, bud, be careful.

Get a bowl. I told you I need egg cartons.

Yes, I'm gonna check his backpack,

and I'll call you back.

What you got going on there, buddy?

Be careful with it. Hey, Max!

Hey, yah!

Oh, come on.

I need, uh, four egg cartons for green week.

- I got it. - Thank you, honey.

Max, can you give me that bowl?

- Hey, Max? - Max?

Hey, babe, did you, by chance--

did you happen to get an invitation?

Emily Berger's birthday party is this Saturday.

She didn't invite me.

You're not invited?

You guys are buddies, though.

You play in the yard all the time.

She doesn't really seem to like me anymore.

Look out, Max. Ahh.

- Can we go to school now? - Yeah, yeah.

I need to get these egg cartons there.

Here, go around it. Max...

Let's go to school.

I think maybe that the lesson here is

that if you're playing tennis with Steve jobs,

you let him win.

I couldn't. And lose the bragging rights? No.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry to interrupt.

Um, Amber got 2250 on her S.A.T.s

2250!

- That is awesome. - It's amazing.

I'm so excited, I didn't know what to do,

so I just went and bought a bunch of doughnuts.

Hi, I'm Sarah. This is my sister Sarah.

Nice to meet you. Would you like a doughnut?

She's working with the design team--Carly Barow.

My daughter's just--you know, her grades aren't great, so...

You must be talking about how I kicked your butt

all over the squash court a month ago?

Not at all. I would never say that.

You didn't beat me. I beat you.

I don't think so. Mmm!

Look at you. No, look at you.

We should go talk in my office, yeah.

Okay, please, yes.

It was nice to meet you. Congratulations.

I'll talk to you in a bit.

- Great to see you, Carly. - You too.

That is awesome--

scorching score. God, I know.

Have a doughnut. Don't say no.

To celebrate Amber's S.A.T. score, of course.

Who is that?

That's just a friend of Gordon's from college.

Hmm, she's tall.

Hey, babe.

Hi.

How was art class?

It was good.

It was, um...

Really good, actually.

But, um, there's something I have to tell you.

The teacher who was scheduled to teach this course

had a conflict and is not gonna be able

to be there for the first few sessions,

and the substitute teacher is Matthew--

Matthew Boscalli.

Uh-huh.

So I just wanted to be open about it.

Of course, there's nothing going on.

It's all very professional. Okay.

Professional, huh?

Look, Zeek, I need to take this course.

It's the only time all year they're offering figure studies.

This is life drawing, you know, with live models.

It's what I've been struggling with.

So I just didn't want to hide anything,

but at the same time,

I didn't want to make a big deal out of it either.

So, um, I want to take the class, and, um...

And I'm gonna take the class, okay?

Yeah.

Great. Thanks.

Eureka!

There's gold in these hills.

Whoa! Did you guys see that?

That was intense.

All right, guys, just a couple of technical things.

We only have a few weeks...

- Hey, Principal Taylor. - Thoughts?

Oh, I'm just watching.

Talk to your parents.

Have them pretend to be the other characters, okay?

I think this one's shaping up to be a real stinker.

- Right, you do? - Yeah!

I have nothing against Joel,

but he directed the play last year--

the longest 47 minutes of my life.

Here's a thought.

You're a creative guy. You're funny.

Want to help out?

Uh, with the play?

Yeah, I...

Hey, what do you guys think?

Yeah? Yeah, it's a little rough. Right.

Joel, I've just been talking to Crosby,

and he is eager to get involved

with our parent community here at Sycamore...

Is he?

And, um, pitch in.

That sounds great. I believe in him.

What if Crosby became your assistant director?

That would be awesome.

You know, I have been dying

to be your assistant since we met, so...

Perfect. Okay, cool.

So, uh, we'll talk about scheduling

and all that junk-- awesome.

I'm gonna get back to it.

All right. Okay.

Okay.

How about...?

I'm counting on you, kid. Spice it up.

Eureka!

There's golden in these hills.

Close enough, all right?

You have way too much time on your hands.

Excuse me. What do you mean?

This is important.

I'm just saying, all the labels

don't have to be facing the exact same way.

Yeah, but it's convenient if they are.

You can tell that it's Mexican stewed tomatoes.

Whenever you want to talk about O.C.D.,

let me know-- I'm here for you, okay?

Okay. Thanks.

Um...

What are you doing this week?

This week, actually, I'm going to the library.
