Oh, really? Is there anything else you want to do? Not really.
No.
Well, okay, we've got a solid six or seven hours before Mom's back.
Ooh! ESPN, anyone? I don't really watch sports.
We can watch more SpongeBob! Ooh, well, let's not be hasty.
I would hate to see you OD on Bob.
Maybe we could, uh Let's go for a car ride.

You like car rides? Can I take the board? Oh, could you? Okay, well, what if I told you to do that for me, huh? So, was this a fish bowl or an actual It was a tank.
Yeah.
Tank.
Pretty sizeable tank.
Were there any Survivors? No.
Well, Sullivan's recommending you change Max's placement.
If that means that they kicked him out of the school, then, yes.
We've looked into a few schools.
The one that everybody keeps telling us about is Footpath Elementary.
Footpath, yeah.
Yeah, that would be best, and it would be a good fit for Max.
However, it is very hard to get into.
It is quite expensive.
How expensive? You know how much private school costs? Double that.
It doesn't matter.
Okay? Okay.
Well, you would need to contact Dr.
Robertson in admissions.
We have called her.
KRISTINA: Several times.
Radio silence.
Over and I'm sure that she'll get back to you within the week.
Look, Dr.
Pelikan, my son, Max, doesn't have a school to go to.
What am I supposed to tell him? You know, what if you called her on our behalf? Please.
Look, don't make us come and sit in your waiting room on a daily basis.
'Cause we'll do it.
We will.
Can you take me home now? Huh? Can you take me home now? Are you kidding, buddy? We've got two and a half hours of bonding time left.
What do you think of these streets? They're like roller coasters, right? Are you all right, buddy? Now I remember why my mom says that I can't eat chocolate.
I'm intolerant You're what? of lactose.
Yeah.
Yep.
I see that.
Oh, come on.
Question.
- Yes, counselor.
Are we at all concerned that Sydney has had five swim lessons now, and all she can do is, Uh, we are not concerned.
I know you were on the swim team and you were really, really good.
I was not just really, really good.
I was all CIF.
Oh.
Okay.
Well? Mommy, come see! God! Bravermans are so cocky.
Hey.
Mommy, look.
I'm swimming.
That's not swimming, baby.
Don't let anybody tell you that that's swimming.
Hey, what is this? What is It's just like Racquel's.
It means abundance.
I know what it means.
Okay.
Swim time's over.
You've dealt with kid puke before, right? Uh-huh.
Whoo.
I don't know how you do it, man.
Do what? This kid thing.
It's stressing me out.
Come on, man.
You had Jabbar for, what, half a day? You know, whatever.
You had a little warm-up.
You know, you got to see your bun bake in the oven.
My kid came out talking and walking.
A three-foot-tall little Candyland master.
Well, give it time.
Well, that's easy for you to say.
You know what, Crosby? However hard you think it is having a kid Just double it.
Yeah, well, he's coming over again.
And I have to work.
What, am I supposed to bring him to the studio? I I can't handle this.
You want us to watch him? Seriously? No, jackass.
He's your son.
Grow a pair.
Deal with it.
Uh, I wasn't going to take you up on it, anyways.
Oh, okay.
What makes all this worth it? What makes it worth it is the connection.
It's the bond you feel.
They're yours, you know? And You're part of them.
Well, what if I don't feel a connection? You know, any Any more than you'd feel to any kid? You will.
I think it's better.
Oh, man.
Ugh! Not even close, my friend.
I'll see you inside.
What, are you just leaving me here? Yep.
Good night.
Hey! We're not done here.
Ow.
Honey.
Honey! Honey! Watch it! I have to sleep.
I'm trying to sleep here.
What's wrong with you? I'm so tired.
Come on.
Give me a break.
I've never been so tired.
Give me a break.
Give me one little break so that I can get some sleep.
Can you just move over a little bit.
Look.
I can't do this with you.
I need more space! You're hogging all I can't do it anymore, either.
Can you please remind me why little, tiny Drew gets his own room? Drew's a boy.
Do you want to share a room with Drew? Not really.
But, you know, I'm not really loving this, either.
No offense.
I'm not loving it, either.
Whatever.
Tomorrow, I'm asking Grandpa if I can move out You're not asking Grandpa.
Why? You're not asking Grandpa.
Why not? He doesn't need it back there.
He's retired.
Because My God.
I am so tired.
What is wrong with you? Nothing is wrong with me.
Why are you being such a weenie about this? That's his private space.
I'm not being a weenie.
Every time I bring up Grandpa, you get all, like, weenie, and you're usually so ballsy.
What's going on? That's mean.
That's not true.
Got a minute? For my little sister, I do, yeah.
Great.
You want to go to Berkeley Coffee? They love me over there, ever since I hooked Jim up with Sarah.
It's like, free biscotti, an Immensimo when I only order a Minimo Uh-huh.
Looks like maybe you've had a few too many.
Well I would love to go.
But I have to get out of here early today.
So, is it okay if we just talk while I answer some e-mails and I kind of half-listen to you? Yeah.
That will work.
Okay.
Okay.
So What's up? Joel has Sydney in this Zen swimming class, which is basically a joke.
Right.
And then, there's Racquel, which is just Wait.
Racquel, the hot one? Is she hot? I hadn't noticed.
Do you remember what a great swimmer I was? Yeah.
You were all CIF.
I was.

Because I have to work.
Julia, listen to me.
You don't have to choose between being a mom and having to work.

You may not be there all the time.
But the time that you do have, you can make it count.

It's kind of dirty.
Look, it would be tough to afford this place, anyway.
I know.
When we were reading about the kids in your program, they seemed so much like Max, it was incredible.
And then, we just saw this boy down the hall, uh, in the classroom.
He was dressed up like a sailor.
Sailor.
Which is just like Max with his pirate costume.
That's Kellen.

Hey, Crosby.
Oh, look.
It's Happy Hollows.

That's good.
We'll capture it.
Cool.
Who's that? Oh, uh, this is my sound engineer assistant, Jabbar.
Hi, Jabbar.

Hey.
Come here for a second.
I want to explain to you why I don't want to do that.
In this family, we take care of ourselves, and we don't expect other people to help us.

You know? And that is what happened today.
I blew it.
And I'm I'm really, really sorry.
It's okay.
Really.
And I know with everything that has been going on with Max, you've been having a rough couple of weeks, too.
Weeks? Dad.
Try years.
What? It's been years, Dad.
Why is everybody acting like this Max thing is big news? He knocked over the cake at my 10th birthday because he was afraid of the candles.
We had to change rooms because he couldn't be by the air conditioner.
Uh, whenever he wants to watch TV, we all have to give up.
It's like It's never-ending.
And ever since I can remember, it's been all about Max.
You're right.
You're absolutely right.
Do you think he's going to get into this school? I am very Very proud of you.
In so many ways.
Hey.
Hey.
They kept you late.
Yes, they did.
Price you pay for taking a little dip in the middle of the day.
Yeah.
Speaking of that Hey, Sydney? Mom's home.
Hi, sweetie.
Mommy, look.
What is it? Look, it's me.
Ready? Go! You got it! You got it! Keep going! Look at you! I did it! Yeah! You did it! You swam? Yeah.
Away from the side and back.
Oh! Show me again.
Okay.
She never would have been able to do it without you torturing her.
I did it! Yeah! You did it! High five! Show me again.
How much longer? Uh, your mom said she'd be here any minute now.
Hey.
Listen.
You know what I told that lady before, about who you were? I just got really scared.
And it was stupid.
It's okay.
I understand.
You do? Is this why you ran and hid? Because you broke this off the mixing board? I thought you'd be mad.
You know I would have done the exact same thing.
All right, then.
I guess that's it.
You sure? Mmm-hmm.
You're not going to cry over this piece of junk, are you? No.
Okay.
I know it's a bad car.

And don't worry about your mom and I.
We're going to be doing okay.
