Parenthood

So, um, this girl Amy,

you kinda like her?

Yeah, I guess so.

We should go into business together, you and me.

And I don't want to do it without you.

Haddie, you live in a completely different world

than I do.

- You get that? - Yeah.

- It's my dad. Hide, hide, hide! - What do I do, what do I do?

Oh, there's something you don't see every day.

Max's dad and I took a huge, huge leap of faith

by sending him to this school and mainstreaming him.

Right.

I'm worried about him socially, and I--and I--

You're just gonna have to get a little more comfortable

with having less control.

I packed you a lunch.

Now, I don't want you trading it for a hot lunch, okay?

There's poison in there.

You'll wind up with type 7 diabetes.

Okay.

Hey, look. It's Max. Max.

- Hey, Max. - Let's go, Jabbar.

- Yeah, let's go. Come on. - Have a good day, guys.

- Bye, Max. - Bye, Max.

- See you later. - Look at that.

This is good.

Things are working out just fine.

You're worried about a storm?

Nope. Looks like clear skies from here on out.

- Morning. - Good.

You know, it's a good day to be on the water.

What?

You know, I've got a lot of life left in me.

And with Virilia's help, by golly, I'm gonna live it.

- What is going on? - I got an audition.

- Really? - Yeah.

For wha--how?

Well, it turns out that, you know,

the gal that cast your play at the Berkeley Theatre Company--

Yeah.

Well, she also casts local commercials.

She called me and I got an audition.

- Dad, you have a real audition? - Yes, I do.

- Wow! - Uh-huh.

Very nice. What's it for?

It's a commercial.

No, I know, but what's it for?

Um, it's, um, erectile dysfunction medicine.

Okay.

Hey, you know what? I'm in the middle of rehearsing now.

Wow. Yeah, um, you guys keep working.

I think you're really on to something here.

Well, you kind of interrupted.

- Sorry. - Okay.

- Good luck, Dad. - Thanks.

Can we just run it again?

So I had all four wisdom teeth pulled in the same day.

Now I'm scared. Do I look okay?

Honey, you look cute. Why? Are you seeing Amy?

It's--

Is that why you're worried about your face?

You look really good.

I'm not talking about this right here.

What? You don't want to chat with me right now?

I love you. Have a good day.

Hey, you, uh, you can't make a u-turn here.

- Hi. - How are you?

Good.

I was in the neighborhood and I just thought I'd drop by.

Well, I'm glad you did.

How'd your writing go last night?

Did you get through the third act?

I didn't, but I did fix the one problem--

You look really pretty.

I was listening, but I also wanted to tell you that,

and you smell really good.

I don't believe you can smell me from there.

I'm pretty sure it's you.

There are a lot of smells going around,

but I'm pretty sure it's you.

What, um, what are you doing tomorrow?

- Yes. - Yes? Oh, good.

- Should I pick you up around 7--? - Sure.

Okay. Okay.

What--what-- what's the big deal?

It's one dinner, all right?

It's not even a special occasion.

Okay, not saying it's a big deal.

You're talking like this, making it into one.

I just feel like you're avoiding my family.

I'm not avoiding your family.

I just--I sometimes feel isolated at those dinners, okay?

Everybody's looking at me different now.

- It's just--it's--it's weird. - No way.

Alex, no one is looking at you differently.

Nobody cares. Nobody's thinking about your record.

I'm thinking about my record. That's the thing.

It's in my head. It bothers me.

I'm uncomfortable. Don't you get that?

- It's just awful for me. - Okay?

Can you just tell your grandparents

I said thank you for the invitation

and I'll see 'em around?

- Okay. - All right.

I'll call you later.

- Hey. - Oh, hey, Mrs. Braverman.

Where are you going? You're not coming to dinner?

I can't. I got some things I need to do.

Oh. Okay.

- All right. - See ya.

- Bye. - Bye.

Hey, Haddie.

== sync, corrected by elderman ==

Um... 11 times 8.

88. Ask me another one.

- 9 times 9. - 81.

You can go all the way up to the 12s.

I'm the best in my class.

- 12 times 11. - 132.

- Can we take a break now? - Why? It's so much fun.

Hi, Jabbar, you want to eat lunch with me and Nicky?

Yeah, sure, totally.

No. We're already eating lunch.

You guys can move and come over to our table.

Then we could eat lunch together.

- Let's go. - No. No.

We're cousins and best friends.

We eat here together every day.

And we're already doing something.

So keep quizzing me.

- Sorry, Jensen. - Okay, keep going.

Hey, Patrick, you want to eat lunch with me and Nicky?

- Jabbar, keep quizzing me. - Why? No.

So I have a weird, weird question.

- Okay. - Um...

Hey, what--what are you--

what are you doing tomorrow night?

- Why? - Um...

'Cause that was kind of a trick question.

Well, could you give me a ride somewhere?

Okay, somewhere. Hmm.

Where, uh, where do you need a ride?

To the movies or something.

- To the movies? - Yeah.

Okay. Still, I'm feeling suspicious.

- Why can't you just take the bus? - All right.

Um, I may have asked someone to go to the movies with me,

and, you know, I can't take a bus.

Ha ha ha, okay. It's all coming together.

- Mm-hmm. - How exciting!

Yeah, yeah.

Hmm, should I wear a little hat?

- A little chauffeur jacket? - No, no.

- Okay. - No.

Okay. Well, I must say I'm intrigued.

- So I will accept. - Yeah?

- Absolutely. -

But I'm gonna have to ask you a few questions first.

For example, who is this mysterious someone?

- It was Amy. - Amy, okay.

Now, where did you meet this, uh, Amy?

- At a very charming yard sale. - Okay. You know what?

Let's just get you groomed up,

get rid of these flyaways for you.

It looks good. You look great.

- She's gonna love you. - Thanks.

Mom, could I ask you a question?

Sure. What's up?

Could I eat lunch with Jensen tomorrow?

Of course you could eat lunch with Jensen tomorrow.

Why do you ask?

Because--because Max said no.

- Max said no? - Yeah.

Well, why would Max say no?

I don't know.

I really want to eat lunch with Jensen.

He's my friend.

Well, you could eat lunch with Jensen.

Just tell Max that you want to have lunch

with your other friends, and he'll understand, honey,

if that's what you want to do.

I told him that, but he said no.

Baby, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do.

- Okay? - All right.

Now finish up with that game.

Okay.
