Parenthood

Haddie, can I talk to you for one second

about Steve?

What?

I slept with him.

An accident.

He was having some financial trouble.

He went completely upside down on this estate investment.

- Why didn't he at least tell mom? - What?

This is...

what family is all about.

More lies?

I know that you cheated on mom.

There's a lot of lying been going on for a lot of years.

That's Matthew. He's amazing.

You look absolutely stunning.

Bye.

Be careful. Steers from behind, see?

- These are sorted by style and by size? - That is correct.

Why is that size 8 with those 9s and 9 1/2s?

13s and 12s and 8s, they were all mixed up.

That'd fall into the category of human error.

Why do people go to stores to buy sneakers?

- Why don't they come here? - People like to have a choice

- between different brands. - Why?

Good questions, Max, but I want to show you something cool.

Now check this out, okay? What does that look like to you?

- It's a sneaker. - This is not just any sneaker.

Do you see this? See that light lighting up?

This shoe counts your steps.

This little doohickey back here, pull that out.

That is an SD card. Plug that into a computer,

it tells you how many steps you've taken whether you're running...

- Jogging? - Jogging too.

- We call it the accelerometer. - Cool.

Maybe we could use this for the autism walk on Sunday.

We could walk all week with these.

Get a lot more miles that way, come in first, and win.

Max, that is truly an inspired idea. That's using the old noodle.

- What noodle? - Noodle in your head.

There's not a noodle in my head. It's just my brain.

You're correct.

Check it out, everyone.

- Check it out. - What's the family emergency here?

- Could you just give me a second? - Don't throw mine. Seriously.

... a new line of running shoes.

- Are these retro to the '90s? - Are they all so pink?

I picked the pink.

The great thing about these shoes

is that they actually count your mileage

as you walk.

So they have the same technology as the Nike did five years ago.

That's amazing.

Why do you have to do that? I'm making a presentation. Can I just present?

- Sorry, sorry. - Hold force, son. I am listening.

- I'm listening, dad. - All right, the Autism Speaks walk

is this sunday, and our very own Max

had the brilliant idea of using these shoes to count our mileage.

So we are giving our shoes away to all the teams,

so they can rack up their mileage as they walk.

And the winner gets a trophy!

A trophy!

- We're all gonna walk... - I thought this would be a really nice,

positive thing for the family to do

together, you know? Team Braverman.

Okay, everybody,

grab your sneakers, put 'em on.

Let's walk for those kids with autism.

- He doesn't know? - I guess not.

God. There she is.

- Let's walk past her. - Bitch.

- Excuse me? - You heard me.

- Tough guys. - I like your gym shorts.

Really athletic.

So close, though. Shorts are usually shorter.

How can you sleep with your cousin's boyfriend?

That's any of your business.

It's my business.

I know it's your business, I would talk to you privately,

I'm not gonna do it in front of them. I don't even know who these people are.

These are my friends.

- Your friends... - Yeah, these are my friends.

They didn't sleep with my boyfriend!

You want to just talk about this here in front of everything?

Here's why. Because I had a connection with him that you didn't have.

And I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

I'm sorry, but that's the way that it is!

It sucks, and I'm sorry.

A connection? You slut.

- Don't throw things at me. - You guys, stop.

Do not push me!

Girls!

With me now. Come here.

Leave me alone!

- Amber's doing really great. - Thanks.

Normally, we would suspend both students for fighting,

so we just need to make sure that this never happens again.

- Never. - Definitely not.

- Promise. - All right, thank you.

- Thank you. Very sorry about that. - Terribly sorry.

- Let's go. Come on. - Haddie.

- Another great day... - Please don't start.

- What is going on? - Let's go.

- I don't want to talk about it. - I would actually like...

I want to know the story while we're all standing here.

- Tell me what happened. - Just ask Amber.

Why don't you take responsibility for your actions?

Haddie, I want you to tell me what happened right now.

Don't. Please.

Amber told me to break up with Steve.

And then...

She had sex with him.

What?

Is that true?

Don't. It's more complicated.

- True? - Not that way!

- Yeah, it did. - Oh, my God.

- Let's go. - This is gross.

- I'm gonna talk to Amber. - That'd be super.

Thanks.

I'm really sorry.

Listen... we're the adults, so let's... set a good example

and not make this any worse, all right?

How could it get any worse?

I'm coming!

I'm coming! I don't like that tone.

Really?

He's out.

Good.

- Finally. - It's my turn.

I was dying from loneliness.

Get in here.

Hurry.

What?

- I saw something today. - What?

- On the learning channel. - Really?

Very extreme.

- Really? - I would like to try it.

- Since you're a professional dancer... - And what are you?

A professional choreographer.

Really?

I didn't know you were a choreographer.

What? What is it?

- What'd I hurt? - My back.

What happened?

Did you knock?

Are you all right?

I have an audition on friday.

I'm gonna get ice.

And heat. Everything. Okay?

I'll be your servant.

Let's go get mommy some ice.

- Is she gonna be all right? - I'm okay, honey.

- How'd she hurt her back? - She was jumping on the bed...

But...

It's not that hard.

Mom.

Come on, now. Your soup is incredible. I need all the secrets.

Secrets. Why this sudden interest in my chicken soup?

I'm on the angel committee at school.

- What's the angel committee? - It's...

If a parent at the school has an injury

or an illness or an operation, some kind of hardship,

then the angel committee is called upon to help,

you know, bring meals or whatever.

- That's a lovely thing. - Isn't it?

What made you sign up for that?

What, it's a... It's a surprise?

It's really so hard to believe? It's a surprise that I'm an angel?

Fine.

Joel signed me up.

- I thought so. - You...

You'll be great.

So I...

Dad. Have you spoken to him?

Well, if there's anything else that I can do,

- or any of the other kids... - Sweetie, this is not up to you to fix,

or your brothers and sisters. This's up to your father and I to fix...

if it can be fixed.

I'm just asking.

I know, but it puts pressure on me.

To make it work.

And that doesn't help. Pressure's never helpful.

We don't have to talk about it. Sorry.

Thank you.

So you think dad'll move back in soon?

No, sweetie, I don't.

So some schmuck with half a car

delivered an easel to your mother last night.

- Do you know anything about that? - What do you think about these shoes?

- You didn't answer my question. - What?

- His name is Matthew. - It's mom's art teacher.
