MYOB
Hey.
God.
Sorry.
I gotta-- Oh, sure.
Right.
Um Good night.
[SIGHS.]
Hi.
[THE BODEANS' "CLOSER TO FIVE" PLAYING.]
* Everybody wants to live * * Like they wanna live * * And everybody wants to love * * Like they wanna love * * Everybody wants to be * * Closer to free-ee-ee-ee * * Closer to free * Hey, don't forget change of address cards.
You gotta do those or your mail's gonna get all screwed up.
Come on, work.
I haven't had time to get to the post office yet.
Maybe I did something.
No, no.
It's just old.
Either one of you guys gonna pass by a post office today? Nope.
Uh-uh.
Hey, leave that.
You're gonna be late.
Somebody will do them.
[QUIETLY.]
Yeah.
I wonder who that somebody is.
I'll see you tonight.
See ya.
Bye, guys.
Have a good day.
Bye.
Bye.
Okay, listen.
I gotta go.
Me too.
Just wait a second.
Oh, I see.
She can't be late.
Us, what's the difference? Look, I don't know what you think you're gonna accomplish with this whole hostility routine every time Grace is in the room.
"Yes," "No," "Bye.
" Talk to the woman for God's sake.
It makes her uncomfortable? My boyfriend isn't even allowed in the house.
So that's what this is about.
Sam.
Okay.
Okay.
You know what? Fine.
Whatever.
Bring him here if you want.
I don't want.
Claud, we can't-- We can't live like this.
It's dumb, everybody being all pissed off at each other all the time.
I mean, you don't have anything against Grace, right? I think you two could be-- Could be friends.
I mean, things could be-- Things could be pretty good around here if you just-- Thanks for doing those.
Okay.
It's officially too late for me to get to Psych.
Oh, well.
What are you skipping this time? [CHUCKLES.]
A lab on stimulus and response.
Hey, you want to be my study partner? Mm, sorry.
I gotta go.
Where? Uh, errands, life, responsibilities.
Remember those? I gotta go to the Xerox place.
I gotta go to the bank-- Oh, speaking of which.
What? Oh, rent.
Yes.
Hello.
Rent.
Could you--? Could you spot me a couple of days? [GROANS.]
You know, you did this last month.
I know.
I know.
I'm a horrible person, I just had to get the battery replaced on my jeep and-- Well, maybe if you stopped buying rounds for everybody in every stupid bar you go to Give me a break.
I'll-- I'll pay you back, soon.
Okay? As soon as soon as I can.
Will you? Do I have a choice? Is that a "yes"? Until the end of week.
That's it.
You rule, Cal, you out and out rule.
Has anybody ever told you--? No.
You know what? Just don't get used to this, okay? Just 'cause you sleep in my room now doesn't mean you're being kept.
[CHATTER.]
Sarah, hey.
Hey.
Good.
You made it.
You know, I thought I was gonna be so early, but I guess everyone else thought that too, huh? Yeah.
So you know what, I-I didn't want you to worry or think that I was-- I was blowing you off, or anything, but I-- I think I'm gonna, um, skip tonight.
Take Sam.
What? Why? You're not still mad at me about the Stanford stuff, are you? 'Cause I thought we were-- No, I'm not.
No.
It's just, God, you know, one love song too many, and you're gonna need, like, a giant spatula to scrape me off the floor.
Come on, you can't stay home all the time.
Why not? You miss him, huh? No.
No.
It's just-- I just wish I didn't.
Well, maybe you should call him? Right.
So she can answer the phone? No, I am not gonna call him.
I broke up with him, and the person that breaks up doesn't call.
Besides, you know, if he were thinking about me, or he missed me, which obviously he doesn't, you know, he-- He could find me.
So you're saying you'd want to hear from him? Wow, the line's moving.
How's it going? How are things with-- I don't know.
--school and wrestling and Callie? Not now about Callie.
Okay? What are you looking for? Those old stereo speakers I had.
Are you okay, Bay? You look a little puffy and kind of tired.
Wow.
I should stop by more often.
Well, I'm sorry, but you do.
Well, I haven't been sleeping great.
Yeah, well, between studying and practice and-- I don't know, maybe it's because you miss Sarah.
You know what, Julia? You didn't butt into our relationship before, now's not a good time to start.
Aha.
There you are.
The other ones finally keel over? Too muchPearl Jam? No.
I'm selling these.
Hey, you wouldn't happen to have any spare cash lying around, would you? Well, I've got like, uh, Is that enough? No, but I'll take it.
Why are you so broke? Because-- Because that class I dropped, they didn't buy the books back, and the alternator went on my jeep last week, and I don't know, basically this past month just kind of sucked.
Well, here.
Take this too.
"Burn and Groove.
" They're playing tonight.
You got an extra? Yeah.
Yeah.
Meet me there.
It'll be fun.
Claudia.
Hi.
Wow.
This-- This is a nice office.
I didn't think it had this many windows.
You want one? The guy was selling these right where I got off the bus.
What are you doing here? You know, visiting.
And I was, um, thinking, you know, maybe I could volunteer to work for you.
Hold it.
Hold it.
[PHONE RINGING.]
Your brother told you to do this, right? No.
Call him.
Check.
Harvest Program.
This is Grace.
Oh.
Oh, good, I was waiting for-- Let me write this-- Hang on.
Okay.
The fax number is-- Okay.
Great.
We'll have that proposal to you by the end of week.
Thanks.
Thanks.
No problem.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING.]
Sarah.
Hi.
Hey.
I was, um, I was-- I was meeting Julia.
Me too.
Did she give you her ticket? She said it was an extra.
It was hers.
God, like it was up to her-- No kidding.
I'll go.
No.
You know what? You know what? You stay.
I'll go.
No, I mean, it wasn't your fault.
Maybe we-- You know what-- [BOTH CHUCKLE NERVOUSLY.]
Go ahead.
Uh, I was just gonna say, we're already here, so maybe we so could just-- Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah? Yeah.
I'm still gonna kill her.
Me too.
She's got a lot of nerve doing this.
So Claudia says you got her doing computer inputting.
Two months from now she'll probably be running the place.
Heh.
Could be.
So that's good.
That's a good sign, her wanting to work with you.
I knew it would just take some time to-- I'm sorry.
Are you doing a taste test or something? No.
We're just a-- A family with very specific pretzel preferences: Claudia, salted, Julia, unsalted, and me, honey mustard.
[GROANS.]
No offense.
None taken.
So you know I'm only chipping in for the healthy stuff, right? Forget it.
You're not paying for any of it.
Oh, shoot.
I forgot his juice boxes.
I'm sorry, buddy.
I'll be right back.
WOMAN [ON PA.]
: Produce manager, pick up line 1.
No, sweetie.
No gum today.
Of course they put the candy and gum and toys right up front where you're practically held hostage.
I never thought about that.
Well.
Oh, he's cute.
Is he three? Almost.
He looks very well taken care of.
I guess so.
Can I ask you, my girl left a few days ago.
Family emergency in Haiti, Jamaica, I don't-- I need somebody.
Do you know of anyone who's looking? I'm not trying to steal you.
I meant any of your friends or-- I'm not his nanny.
Oh.
Oh, I'm-- That's okay.
I'm sorry.
I didn't-- It's okay.
[BAND PLAYING ROCK SONG.]
SINGER: Thanks a lot.
We're gonna take a short intermission.
Back in 15.
Well, they suck.
What? I'm just expressing an opinion.
I guess if you got 10 fingers and some attitude, you can call yourself a guitar player.
What a rip-off.
Am I right? [SCOFFS.]
Great.
Bunch of pods.
You know, I thought they were great, and I don't know what you're complaining about, you didn't even pay for the ticket.
Whoa.
What are you getting so defensive for, Sarah? I'm not.
I was just saying-- What--? What, are you sleeping with one of the guys in the band? Is that it? What? God, what is with you? Nothing.
Nothing.
I'm just-- I'm just making conversation.
I'm just catching up.
That one guy, the-- The bald guy, he'd be a good boyfriend for you.
Cut it out.
I can go talk to him.
I could go backstage and give him your phone number.
Stop it.
Hey, I just want you to be happy, Sarah.
You want that? You want me to be happy? Yeah.
Okay.
Hey, hey, where are you--? * Mock * * Yeah * * --ing * * Yeah * * --bird * SINGER [ON RADIO.]
: * Yeah * [LAUGHING.]
* Yeah * * Yeah * What are you laughing at? You.
Don't take this the wrong way, but you should not quit your day job.
Oh, gee, don't start.
I wish I could.
Why? What's the matter? Oh, I just got three jobs, supposed to be finished yesterday.
Two guys out with the flu.
Really? Mm.
Well, maybe you could use some help.
I might know someone.
Sweetheart, sexy as I think you'd look in coveralls-- No, no, no.
Not me.
I was thinking Bailey could do work for you.
Bailey? Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, he could really use the money and, you know, he could meet you in between classes or after, and he's completely reliable and responsible.
It would be like hiring a boy scout.
Plus he has excellent references.
You mean, besides you? That's a joke.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Yeah, yeah.
Go ahead and ask him.
Okay.
* Bird won't sing You're gonna buy yourself * * Buy yourself a diamond ring * JULIA: Stop.
[***.]
Ow.
Charlie.
Hm? What? Mm, what time is it? Early.
Mm.
Yeah.
Charlie, wait.
I don't think this is the best idea.
Him, here.
What's the big deal? Didn't you ever climb into bed with your parents? I'm not his parent.
I'm not his step-parent, not even close.
But I think he kind of needs this, to cuddle with me every once in a while.
Not every night, but sometimes.
What am I supposed to do? Kick him out? Not sleep with you? I'm sorry.
I know, you think I'm-- I just-- I feel really uncomfortable.
Okay, okay.
I'll take him back to his room.
He has more of a right to be here than I do.
What? Nothing.
Look, I'm gonna take him, put him back in his room, and I'm gonna go and make you a cup of coffee.
I didn't realize you get so snarky in the morning.
[DISTANT CAR STARTS.]
[SIGHS.]
[BELL RINGING.]
Okay, you know what? First of all, don't ever set me up like that again ever.
Sarah-- I didn't ask you to, and I didn't want you to.
All right.
I was just trying to be nice.
I know.
But it wasn't.
Well, I'm sorry.
That doesn't help.
You-- You have no idea how bad it was.
Maybe you haven't spent that much time with him lately, but he's-- God, he's really a mess.
What does that mean, "a mess"? I mean, I know he's been unhappy since you guys broke up.
Maybe he's just taking it really hard? Julia, this isn't that.
Okay? He was drunk and loud-- Whoa, whoa, wait.
It was a concert.
Everybody drinks and everybody's loud.
Not the way he was.
Well, maybe he was just nervous seeing you.
I'd understand that.
This isn't the first time he's acted this way, Julia.
Okay? Even Will noticed it when he was here.
Noticed what? What I'm telling you.
Okay? He drinks all the time now.
How do you know what he does all the time? You're never around him.
Okay.
Look, you know, I-- I know that he's your big brother and everything, and maybe you need to keep him on some kind of pedestal, but there's something-- Hey, I know Bailey better than you do.
And you're wrong.
Fine.
Great.
Great.
You know what? You're right.
He doesn't have a problem.
I have a problem.
And-- And you know what? I'm done.
This time I mean it.
I am done.
Problem solved.
Sam, sorry, man.
I thought you said a left on Pine.
And then there's this detour, you know, go three miles in some huge circle out of your way instead of 10 feet straight ahead.
Anyway-- Anyway, it's not your concern.
So, what have we got going here? What's the deal? They're having a wedding reception this weekend, and the daughter's first fiancé, who she didn't marry, they-- They bought the wallpaper from his parents.
Anyway, she decides yesterday that it would be unlucky or something.
I don't know.
Man, you gotta love people.
You gotta love them.
Anyway, I need you to, uh, prime the walls, and then we'll put a coat of paint on.
I'm prime to prime.
Whoa.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Accident.
I gotta check on a job in the Haight.
Then I'll be back.
Pete's working in the yard if you need anything.
No sweat.
I'm here, I'm yours, and I aim to please.
And-- And-- Listen, Sam, I really appreciate this.
The-- What do you call it? The fan belt snapped in my jeep last week.
It cost me a fortune.
Bailey, that's not-- That's paint.
I knew that.
Oh.
That should be a D.
Oh.
Okay.
[BEEPS.]
You don't think they'd deliver it to "Oaklanp," California? Just be careful.
You know, my-- My fingers are getting kind of crampy.
I'm usually not a keyboard person.
Maybe we could, you know, go get a soda or something? Why don't you work on these for now? Fold them in thirds and put them in the envelopes.
Okay.
Charlie's totally crazy about you.
Did you know right away that you liked him? Well, 'cause I've always thought he has that kind of personality that really needs to grow on you.
Claudia, I'm working.
So are you.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
I think we're getting Chinese tonight.
What do you like? MAN: Hey, you.
Eddie, oh.
How have you been? Everything, huh? Yep, gone.
Whole apartment just ashes.
Did you find a place yet? I'm staying with a friend.
In the neighborhood? 'Cause I haven't seen you-- Not too far.
Just for now, you know, until everything settles.
Hey, you got time for a cup of coffee or something? Sure, that'd be great.
[***.]
And I figured you were too tired to stop and get us dinner, so I got us some really gross tacos and stuff, which will be an interesting test of our relationship, come to think of it.
You okay? Yeah, something kind of weird happened at one of my job sites today.
Some stuff was ripped-off.
A couple bottles of pretty expensive liquor.
Man, the people are pissed.
Oh, no.
Wow.
Which--? Which job? Look, I-- I'm not saying Bailey did it Well, of course he didn't.
Why would you even--? I know.
I know.
Except Pete, the other guy who was there, I called him and asked him point-blank.
Yeah.
And? And he was outside the whole time.
He said his boots were so muddy he never went in.
So I-I-I don't-- I don't know what to think.
So you tell me.
Is it possible? [***.]
[BEEPS.]
Hi.
No one's here right now, but you can leave a message for Charlie, Julia, Claudia, Owen, and Grace at-- [DOG BARKS.]
Shoot.
Claudia.
He barked, not me.
What are you doing? Putting Grace's name on this thing.
Really? Does she want her name on that thing? I mean, did she ask you to do this? What is your problem? Are you trying to make trouble? No.
It's nothing.
Hi.
No one's here right now, but you can leave a message for Charlie, Julia, Claudia, Owen, and Grace at the tone.
[***.]
[BELL RINGING.]
So? What are we gonna do about him? [PHONE RINGING.]
No, no.
Wait.
I have the report right, uh-- Give me two seconds here.
What? I-- I'm sorry, Sandy.
I'm gonna have to call you back in a bit.
What are these doing here? I don't know.
What are they doing? This is page two of the mailer we're sending.
All those envelopes you did yesterday? You didn't tell me there was more than one page.
What did these look like to you? What does it say right here? Page two.
You didn't mail them yet? No.
Then I'll just unstuff them and-- We're gonna have to get new envelopes printed up.
We can't reuse these.
They'll look like garbage.
Oh, God, you already stamped them, didn't you? You said to.
You know what? You shouldn't just jump into something if you're not sure if you can handle it.
Wait w--? What are you trying--? You-- You can't do sloppy work here.
Hey, I'm a volunteer.
I mean, I'm doing you a favor here.
You don't have to-- Are you serious? That's no excuse.
You know what, Claudia? This is not the appropriate place for you.
What? You should go.
Whoa.
I mean, I came all the way down here, two buses, I live with you, and you're firing me? Yes, I am.
What are you doing home so early? And why didn't you come home with Grace? Ask her.
She fired me.
What'd you do? Oh, good.
Great.
Take her side.
No, who's taking sides? Excuse me? I'm just getting a little tired of every time her name is mentioned there's a thing.
I'll never mention her name again.
Does that work for you? No, Claudia, it doesn't.
Look, this is the way it is.
So-- So get used to it.
Grace lives here now.
She lives here.
Not according to her.
What? What are you talking about? She was very busy telling some guy who came into the place that she was staying with friends temporarily.
Temporarily? That-- Why would she--? That doesn't make sense.
Fine.
I made it up.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Are you accusing me here? I'm asking you.
Do you know anything about what happened? I painted that wall, and then I split.
You didn't notice the bottles? You didn't see anything? Oh.
Oh, yeah.
I-I forgot to mention this.
There was this gang of looters who broke in after you left.
I tried to fight 'em off, but-- A simple yes or no.
Who the hell do you think you are, huh? Going around blaming people like this? Say no, and the conversation's over.
You know what, Sam? I'll tell you what.
It's over anyway.
You gonna eat? Hey, finish that or no Bananas in Pyjamas.
Hi, how was your day? About eight hours too long.
Did you get those, uh, change of address cards yet? Not yet.
Did you remember to call the phone company about forwarding your number here? What is this? A welcome-home quiz? Yes.
Um, [SIGHS.]
are you not planning on staying here? 'Cause Claud said she-- She heard you tell somebody that it was temporary.
OWEN: All done.
Good.
Go, uh-- Go watch your tape.
Are you staying? We rushed this.
We didn't think.
Um, if the fire hadn't happen-- Yeah, well, something horrible happened, we made something good from it.
What's the matter with that? No.
Look, I don't belong here, in this neighborhood, in this house.
Yes, you do.
Sure, you do.
Right.
I get up in the morning, your brother's trying to kick me out of bed.
And your sisters are giving me the evil eye.
People are thinking I'm the help.
What? And then I go into the office, and all day long I'm dealing with all these poor people.
Except I feel like I've crawled under barbed wire, and I'm just waving at them from the other side.
La-di-da! Look at me.
With all these white people and their big expensive houses.
And guess what, kids? It's free.
That is so-- What did you do that's so wrong? You moved in with your boyfriend who happens to be white and who happens to live in a pretty decent house.
So what? I sold out.
Why? Because you're not ducking drive-bys every minute? OWEN: It broke.
Owen, not now.
Go watch something else.
Go! That's good, Charlie, yell at him.
That'll definitely make him like me more.
Man, Grace, what--? What is this about? Is this about the--? The kids? Is it about the house? Is it about me? It's everything.
I-- I don't know how to solve everything.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Whatever you're selling, I don't want any.
JULIA: I wanna talk to you.
Open the door.
What? Let us in.
Us? Now.
What? Did your boyfriend send you to search the place? No.
No one sent us.
Bay, what is up? What is going on with you? Nothing.
Nothing.
Just leave me alone.
We're worried about you.
Oh, you two are like a team on this? Nothing else to do, kind of bored? "Hey, I know, let's go gang up on Bailey.
" She told me how you were at the concert.
You ambushed me, okay? I wasn't expecting her, and I didn't have dinner.
And, yeah, I had a couple of drinks.
So I was little, whatever.
I am sorry if I bugged you or something.
Are we done? What about Sam? What about the bottles that were missing? Oh.
Oh, here we are.
Well, screw that.
I didn't have-- He says you got all weird when he asked you about it.
Wow.
Jule, you would actually believe him over me? That-- Wow.
That says a whole hell of a lot about our relationship.
Look, all I know is that liquor was missing.
And-- And you have been drinking an awful lot these days.
So one plus one equals three.
And now all of a sudden I'm this thief.
Well, you know what? I don't need this.
Okay? The two of you can take your stupid ideas about me and get lost.
We're not gonna leave you.
It's a little late for that, Sarah.
Bay, we're supposed to not let each other do stupid things.
Or-- Or self-destructive things.
I mean, that is the deal with us, right? That-- That is the job.
Yeah? Well, then you're fired.
Okay, Julia.
You're off the hook.
And you too.
No, Bailey.
If you're in some kind of trouble-- I'm not.
And I want you out of here now.
Now! I am not just dropping this, Bay.
I am not just forgetting about this.
[***.]
So, what is with her? Is it this-- This Sam guy she's dating? Is it this college thing? I don't know.
'Cause something bit her in the butt, man.
No kidding.
This is really good food by the way.
Whoever said there's no such thing as a free meal? Any customers come, you're ditching that.
Got it? Mm.
She's probably driving you nuts at home, huh? She can take a number.
The truth is Julia and I are pretty much ignoring each other these days.
Good.
Good.
I mean that-- That she's not making you too No.
She's on my case all of a sudden now too.
She might say something to you.
About what? It's so dumb.
She thinks-- She thinks that I'm partying too much.
Which is so completely not true.
I mean, what is freshman year supposed to be about, right? Did I ever tell about that--? That ski trip that Dudley and I took Christmas break, freshman year? Mm-hm.
Let's just say that it takes a certain amount of skill to pee Charlie Salinger in the snow when you've got five tequila sunrises in you.
[BOTH LAUGHING.]
You see? That's-- That's exactly what I mean.
Not everybody's a straight arrow like her.
Anyway, whatever, just-- Hey, don't worry about it.
If she said anything positive for a change, that would get my attention.
Okay.
Cool.
Could you top that off for me? That's not the right place for those.
They don't go there.
Oh.
One mistake.
I guess you're fired.
Claudia.
I was I might have been a little rough on you this afternoon.
No harder than I am on myself most of the time.
But that's-- Anyway, I shouldn't have gotten so-- It's just if you're gonna do a job for somebody, you should-- You know, I would say apology accepted, except I didn't actually hear one.
You messed up a huge mailer for the program.
You cost us time.
You cost us money.
Never mind.
I came there 'cause I wanted us to be friends.
That's what I was trying to do.
Stupid me.
[CAR BEEPS.]
[SCOFFS.]
What are you doing? Stalking him now? I was waiting for you.
I know you have that dance class.
What? Bailey's in trouble, Callie.
He's-- What? Did something happen? No.
No, nothing happened.
It's just-- God, I mean, you've seen him.
You see him every day.
You have to know.
Know what? Come on, give me a break.
Callie, you're not blind.
All he does anymore is-- Is get drunk and be really nasty and push people away.
It isn't him.
I mean, you saw him.
You know how he was when you met him.
So what? This is my influence on him? You know, I don't need you insulting me, Sarah.
Okay? So-- No.
Wait.
Oh, God, d--? Do you really think I wanna be here with you? I mean, do you have any idea how--? I'm in love with him.
You know, I can't help it.
And maybe you are too.
I-I don't-- I don't know.
I don't wanna know.
But I think maybe I want you to.
What? Maybe I want you to love him.
You know, 'cause-- 'Cause maybe you'll get him to stop what he's doing.
The drinking and the-- The-- God, I don't even know what.
He won't listen to anybody.
Not Will or Julia or me.
I gotta go.
Try.
Please.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
I'm up.
It's kind of, uh-- Kind of too quiet to sleep.
If you want, I can go outside, set off a couple car alarms for you.
Oh, that's hysterical.
Obviously, we have a problem.
Only one? One at a time.
Okay.
Maybe it did happen too fast.
Us.
This.
I-- I don't think so.
But if you do But even if we weren't living together now, if, like, six months from now or a year from now things-- I'm-- I'm stuck here, Grace.
It's not horrible, you know.
It's an okay place to be stuck.
But I am.
It's not like I can just pack up Claudia and Owen and drag them downtown to live with you.
That's not-- That's not gonna happen.
See, I-I understand that.
But do you get why I need to be there? Uh-uh.
Actually, I don't.
I mean, those people that you help, they're not gonna be any more or less homeless because of where you live.
I'm gonna be different.
Every morning I would leave my house, and I would see them right there in front of me, how hard it is for them.
I'd know.
And they'd see me and they'd trust me.
It's-- You have to be there to really-- [DOOR OPENS.]
Owen, Owen-- No.
Wait.
Let him.
Let him stay.
He wants to be with you.
I'm gonna sleep on the couch tonight.
God, we're back to that again.
No.
I just-- I need-- I need to-- I don't know what I need.
Why is Grace sleeping downstairs? I don't think that's any of your business.
Okay.
Something else I can help you with? Yeah.
Look, we gotta, uh-- Something bad's going on with Bay.
[SCOFFS.]
Oh, yeah? What would that be? What's the attitude? No.
Go ahead.
Tell me all about it.
Wow.
Charlie, we can't even have a conversation anymore? Oh, sure.
Now.
What about when I've been trying to talk to you for-- For, like, weeks.
And all you would do is-- Is blow me off or run off to Sam's.
And the way you've been treating Grace, I don't know why I should talk to you at all.
Look, that's all-- You know what, this isn't about me.
This is about Bailey.
And how he's partying too much.
You know about it? Why don't you just admit that you can't stand seeing somebody else enjoying themselves.
What? That is so not-- Let me give you a news flash, Julia, you're not the smartest person in the world.
You don't know everything.
Neither do you.
[DOOR SLAMS.]
[SLOW ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO.]
What you reading? I have no idea.
* I believe In right and wrong * So.
Dare I ask? Rent money? Not yet.
You kicking me out? Joining the growing numbers of the "I Hate Bailey Club"? Yeah, well, you are kind of a pain in the ass sometimes.
Not all the time, though.
Huh? Hm? Come on, say it.
Not all the time.
Okay.
Good.
I have one friend.
I'm gonna grab a beer.
You want? No, thanks.
I'll pass.
You know, maybe you ought to pass too.
That's all you need, you know.
What? Beer? No.
One good friend.
[CHUCKLES.]
That's you, Cal.
My one good friend.
Yeah? Yeah.
Come on.
Leave that.
Let's go to bed.
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
[***.]
Hey.
Looks like I wasn't the big draw after all.
Look at that.
See.
He wanted you.
I, um-- I know you're kind of big on being needed, Grace.
And I know you get that in your work a lot.
But that's not the only place where-- Us too, you know? We need you here.
Please.
Stay.
Okay.
Good.
Good.
Watch.
Don't wake him.
Be careful.
Are we gonna fit? We'll make room.
[***.]
God.
Sorry.
I gotta-- Oh, sure.
Right.
Um Good night.
[SIGHS.]
Hi.
[THE BODEANS' "CLOSER TO FIVE" PLAYING.]
* Everybody wants to live * * Like they wanna live * * And everybody wants to love * * Like they wanna love * * Everybody wants to be * * Closer to free-ee-ee-ee * * Closer to free * Hey, don't forget change of address cards.
You gotta do those or your mail's gonna get all screwed up.
Come on, work.
I haven't had time to get to the post office yet.
Maybe I did something.
No, no.
It's just old.
Either one of you guys gonna pass by a post office today? Nope.
Uh-uh.
Hey, leave that.
You're gonna be late.
Somebody will do them.
[QUIETLY.]
Yeah.
I wonder who that somebody is.
I'll see you tonight.
See ya.
Bye, guys.
Have a good day.
Bye.
Bye.
Okay, listen.
I gotta go.
Me too.
Just wait a second.
Oh, I see.
She can't be late.
Us, what's the difference? Look, I don't know what you think you're gonna accomplish with this whole hostility routine every time Grace is in the room.
"Yes," "No," "Bye.
" Talk to the woman for God's sake.
It makes her uncomfortable? My boyfriend isn't even allowed in the house.
So that's what this is about.
Sam.
Okay.
Okay.
You know what? Fine.
Whatever.
Bring him here if you want.
I don't want.
Claud, we can't-- We can't live like this.
It's dumb, everybody being all pissed off at each other all the time.
I mean, you don't have anything against Grace, right? I think you two could be-- Could be friends.
I mean, things could be-- Things could be pretty good around here if you just-- Thanks for doing those.
Okay.
It's officially too late for me to get to Psych.
Oh, well.
What are you skipping this time? [CHUCKLES.]
A lab on stimulus and response.
Hey, you want to be my study partner? Mm, sorry.
I gotta go.
Where? Uh, errands, life, responsibilities.
Remember those? I gotta go to the Xerox place.
I gotta go to the bank-- Oh, speaking of which.
What? Oh, rent.
Yes.
Hello.
Rent.
Could you--? Could you spot me a couple of days? [GROANS.]
You know, you did this last month.
I know.
I know.
I'm a horrible person, I just had to get the battery replaced on my jeep and-- Well, maybe if you stopped buying rounds for everybody in every stupid bar you go to Give me a break.
I'll-- I'll pay you back, soon.
Okay? As soon as soon as I can.
Will you? Do I have a choice? Is that a "yes"? Until the end of week.
That's it.
You rule, Cal, you out and out rule.
Has anybody ever told you--? No.
You know what? Just don't get used to this, okay? Just 'cause you sleep in my room now doesn't mean you're being kept.
[CHATTER.]
Sarah, hey.
Hey.
Good.
You made it.
You know, I thought I was gonna be so early, but I guess everyone else thought that too, huh? Yeah.
So you know what, I-I didn't want you to worry or think that I was-- I was blowing you off, or anything, but I-- I think I'm gonna, um, skip tonight.
Take Sam.
What? Why? You're not still mad at me about the Stanford stuff, are you? 'Cause I thought we were-- No, I'm not.
No.
It's just, God, you know, one love song too many, and you're gonna need, like, a giant spatula to scrape me off the floor.
Come on, you can't stay home all the time.
Why not? You miss him, huh? No.
No.
It's just-- I just wish I didn't.
Well, maybe you should call him? Right.
So she can answer the phone? No, I am not gonna call him.
I broke up with him, and the person that breaks up doesn't call.
Besides, you know, if he were thinking about me, or he missed me, which obviously he doesn't, you know, he-- He could find me.
So you're saying you'd want to hear from him? Wow, the line's moving.
How's it going? How are things with-- I don't know.
--school and wrestling and Callie? Not now about Callie.
Okay? What are you looking for? Those old stereo speakers I had.
Are you okay, Bay? You look a little puffy and kind of tired.
Wow.
I should stop by more often.
Well, I'm sorry, but you do.
Well, I haven't been sleeping great.
Yeah, well, between studying and practice and-- I don't know, maybe it's because you miss Sarah.
You know what, Julia? You didn't butt into our relationship before, now's not a good time to start.
Aha.
There you are.
The other ones finally keel over? Too muchPearl Jam? No.
I'm selling these.
Hey, you wouldn't happen to have any spare cash lying around, would you? Well, I've got like, uh, Is that enough? No, but I'll take it.
Why are you so broke? Because-- Because that class I dropped, they didn't buy the books back, and the alternator went on my jeep last week, and I don't know, basically this past month just kind of sucked.
Well, here.
Take this too.
"Burn and Groove.
" They're playing tonight.
You got an extra? Yeah.
Yeah.
Meet me there.
It'll be fun.
Claudia.
Hi.
Wow.
This-- This is a nice office.
I didn't think it had this many windows.
You want one? The guy was selling these right where I got off the bus.
What are you doing here? You know, visiting.
And I was, um, thinking, you know, maybe I could volunteer to work for you.
Hold it.
Hold it.
[PHONE RINGING.]
Your brother told you to do this, right? No.
Call him.
Check.
Harvest Program.
This is Grace.
Oh.
Oh, good, I was waiting for-- Let me write this-- Hang on.
Okay.
The fax number is-- Okay.
Great.
We'll have that proposal to you by the end of week.
Thanks.
Thanks.
No problem.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING.]
Sarah.
Hi.
Hey.
I was, um, I was-- I was meeting Julia.
Me too.
Did she give you her ticket? She said it was an extra.
It was hers.
God, like it was up to her-- No kidding.
I'll go.
No.
You know what? You know what? You stay.
I'll go.
No, I mean, it wasn't your fault.
Maybe we-- You know what-- [BOTH CHUCKLE NERVOUSLY.]
Go ahead.
Uh, I was just gonna say, we're already here, so maybe we so could just-- Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah? Yeah.
I'm still gonna kill her.
Me too.
She's got a lot of nerve doing this.
So Claudia says you got her doing computer inputting.
Two months from now she'll probably be running the place.
Heh.
Could be.
So that's good.
That's a good sign, her wanting to work with you.
I knew it would just take some time to-- I'm sorry.
Are you doing a taste test or something? No.
We're just a-- A family with very specific pretzel preferences: Claudia, salted, Julia, unsalted, and me, honey mustard.
[GROANS.]
No offense.
None taken.
So you know I'm only chipping in for the healthy stuff, right? Forget it.
You're not paying for any of it.
Oh, shoot.
I forgot his juice boxes.
I'm sorry, buddy.
I'll be right back.
WOMAN [ON PA.]
: Produce manager, pick up line 1.
No, sweetie.
No gum today.
Of course they put the candy and gum and toys right up front where you're practically held hostage.
I never thought about that.
Well.
Oh, he's cute.
Is he three? Almost.
He looks very well taken care of.
I guess so.
Can I ask you, my girl left a few days ago.
Family emergency in Haiti, Jamaica, I don't-- I need somebody.
Do you know of anyone who's looking? I'm not trying to steal you.
I meant any of your friends or-- I'm not his nanny.
Oh.
Oh, I'm-- That's okay.
I'm sorry.
I didn't-- It's okay.
[BAND PLAYING ROCK SONG.]
SINGER: Thanks a lot.
We're gonna take a short intermission.
Back in 15.
Well, they suck.
What? I'm just expressing an opinion.
I guess if you got 10 fingers and some attitude, you can call yourself a guitar player.
What a rip-off.
Am I right? [SCOFFS.]
Great.
Bunch of pods.
You know, I thought they were great, and I don't know what you're complaining about, you didn't even pay for the ticket.
Whoa.
What are you getting so defensive for, Sarah? I'm not.
I was just saying-- What--? What, are you sleeping with one of the guys in the band? Is that it? What? God, what is with you? Nothing.
Nothing.
I'm just-- I'm just making conversation.
I'm just catching up.
That one guy, the-- The bald guy, he'd be a good boyfriend for you.
Cut it out.
I can go talk to him.
I could go backstage and give him your phone number.
Stop it.
Hey, I just want you to be happy, Sarah.
You want that? You want me to be happy? Yeah.
Okay.
Hey, hey, where are you--? * Mock * * Yeah * * --ing * * Yeah * * --bird * SINGER [ON RADIO.]
: * Yeah * [LAUGHING.]
* Yeah * * Yeah * What are you laughing at? You.
Don't take this the wrong way, but you should not quit your day job.
Oh, gee, don't start.
I wish I could.
Why? What's the matter? Oh, I just got three jobs, supposed to be finished yesterday.
Two guys out with the flu.
Really? Mm.
Well, maybe you could use some help.
I might know someone.
Sweetheart, sexy as I think you'd look in coveralls-- No, no, no.
Not me.
I was thinking Bailey could do work for you.
Bailey? Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, he could really use the money and, you know, he could meet you in between classes or after, and he's completely reliable and responsible.
It would be like hiring a boy scout.
Plus he has excellent references.
You mean, besides you? That's a joke.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Yeah, yeah.
Go ahead and ask him.
Okay.
* Bird won't sing You're gonna buy yourself * * Buy yourself a diamond ring * JULIA: Stop.
[***.]
Ow.
Charlie.
Hm? What? Mm, what time is it? Early.
Mm.
Yeah.
Charlie, wait.
I don't think this is the best idea.
Him, here.
What's the big deal? Didn't you ever climb into bed with your parents? I'm not his parent.
I'm not his step-parent, not even close.
But I think he kind of needs this, to cuddle with me every once in a while.
Not every night, but sometimes.
What am I supposed to do? Kick him out? Not sleep with you? I'm sorry.
I know, you think I'm-- I just-- I feel really uncomfortable.
Okay, okay.
I'll take him back to his room.
He has more of a right to be here than I do.
What? Nothing.
Look, I'm gonna take him, put him back in his room, and I'm gonna go and make you a cup of coffee.
I didn't realize you get so snarky in the morning.
[DISTANT CAR STARTS.]
[SIGHS.]
[BELL RINGING.]
Okay, you know what? First of all, don't ever set me up like that again ever.
Sarah-- I didn't ask you to, and I didn't want you to.
All right.
I was just trying to be nice.
I know.
But it wasn't.
Well, I'm sorry.
That doesn't help.
You-- You have no idea how bad it was.
Maybe you haven't spent that much time with him lately, but he's-- God, he's really a mess.
What does that mean, "a mess"? I mean, I know he's been unhappy since you guys broke up.
Maybe he's just taking it really hard? Julia, this isn't that.
Okay? He was drunk and loud-- Whoa, whoa, wait.
It was a concert.
Everybody drinks and everybody's loud.
Not the way he was.
Well, maybe he was just nervous seeing you.
I'd understand that.
This isn't the first time he's acted this way, Julia.
Okay? Even Will noticed it when he was here.
Noticed what? What I'm telling you.
Okay? He drinks all the time now.
How do you know what he does all the time? You're never around him.
Okay.
Look, you know, I-- I know that he's your big brother and everything, and maybe you need to keep him on some kind of pedestal, but there's something-- Hey, I know Bailey better than you do.
And you're wrong.
Fine.
Great.
Great.
You know what? You're right.
He doesn't have a problem.
I have a problem.
And-- And you know what? I'm done.
This time I mean it.
I am done.
Problem solved.
Sam, sorry, man.
I thought you said a left on Pine.
And then there's this detour, you know, go three miles in some huge circle out of your way instead of 10 feet straight ahead.
Anyway-- Anyway, it's not your concern.
So, what have we got going here? What's the deal? They're having a wedding reception this weekend, and the daughter's first fiancé, who she didn't marry, they-- They bought the wallpaper from his parents.
Anyway, she decides yesterday that it would be unlucky or something.
I don't know.
Man, you gotta love people.
You gotta love them.
Anyway, I need you to, uh, prime the walls, and then we'll put a coat of paint on.
I'm prime to prime.
Whoa.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Accident.
I gotta check on a job in the Haight.
Then I'll be back.
Pete's working in the yard if you need anything.
No sweat.
I'm here, I'm yours, and I aim to please.
And-- And-- Listen, Sam, I really appreciate this.
The-- What do you call it? The fan belt snapped in my jeep last week.
It cost me a fortune.
Bailey, that's not-- That's paint.
I knew that.
Oh.
That should be a D.
Oh.
Okay.
[BEEPS.]
You don't think they'd deliver it to "Oaklanp," California? Just be careful.
You know, my-- My fingers are getting kind of crampy.
I'm usually not a keyboard person.
Maybe we could, you know, go get a soda or something? Why don't you work on these for now? Fold them in thirds and put them in the envelopes.
Okay.
Charlie's totally crazy about you.
Did you know right away that you liked him? Well, 'cause I've always thought he has that kind of personality that really needs to grow on you.
Claudia, I'm working.
So are you.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
I think we're getting Chinese tonight.
What do you like? MAN: Hey, you.
Eddie, oh.
How have you been? Everything, huh? Yep, gone.
Whole apartment just ashes.
Did you find a place yet? I'm staying with a friend.
In the neighborhood? 'Cause I haven't seen you-- Not too far.
Just for now, you know, until everything settles.
Hey, you got time for a cup of coffee or something? Sure, that'd be great.
[***.]
And I figured you were too tired to stop and get us dinner, so I got us some really gross tacos and stuff, which will be an interesting test of our relationship, come to think of it.
You okay? Yeah, something kind of weird happened at one of my job sites today.
Some stuff was ripped-off.
A couple bottles of pretty expensive liquor.
Man, the people are pissed.
Oh, no.
Wow.
Which--? Which job? Look, I-- I'm not saying Bailey did it Well, of course he didn't.
Why would you even--? I know.
I know.
Except Pete, the other guy who was there, I called him and asked him point-blank.
Yeah.
And? And he was outside the whole time.
He said his boots were so muddy he never went in.
So I-I-I don't-- I don't know what to think.
So you tell me.
Is it possible? [***.]
[BEEPS.]
Hi.
No one's here right now, but you can leave a message for Charlie, Julia, Claudia, Owen, and Grace at-- [DOG BARKS.]
Shoot.
Claudia.
He barked, not me.
What are you doing? Putting Grace's name on this thing.
Really? Does she want her name on that thing? I mean, did she ask you to do this? What is your problem? Are you trying to make trouble? No.
It's nothing.
Hi.
No one's here right now, but you can leave a message for Charlie, Julia, Claudia, Owen, and Grace at the tone.
[***.]
[BELL RINGING.]
So? What are we gonna do about him? [PHONE RINGING.]
No, no.
Wait.
I have the report right, uh-- Give me two seconds here.
What? I-- I'm sorry, Sandy.
I'm gonna have to call you back in a bit.
What are these doing here? I don't know.
What are they doing? This is page two of the mailer we're sending.
All those envelopes you did yesterday? You didn't tell me there was more than one page.
What did these look like to you? What does it say right here? Page two.
You didn't mail them yet? No.
Then I'll just unstuff them and-- We're gonna have to get new envelopes printed up.
We can't reuse these.
They'll look like garbage.
Oh, God, you already stamped them, didn't you? You said to.
You know what? You shouldn't just jump into something if you're not sure if you can handle it.
Wait w--? What are you trying--? You-- You can't do sloppy work here.
Hey, I'm a volunteer.
I mean, I'm doing you a favor here.
You don't have to-- Are you serious? That's no excuse.
You know what, Claudia? This is not the appropriate place for you.
What? You should go.
Whoa.
I mean, I came all the way down here, two buses, I live with you, and you're firing me? Yes, I am.
What are you doing home so early? And why didn't you come home with Grace? Ask her.
She fired me.
What'd you do? Oh, good.
Great.
Take her side.
No, who's taking sides? Excuse me? I'm just getting a little tired of every time her name is mentioned there's a thing.
I'll never mention her name again.
Does that work for you? No, Claudia, it doesn't.
Look, this is the way it is.
So-- So get used to it.
Grace lives here now.
She lives here.
Not according to her.
What? What are you talking about? She was very busy telling some guy who came into the place that she was staying with friends temporarily.
Temporarily? That-- Why would she--? That doesn't make sense.
Fine.
I made it up.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Are you accusing me here? I'm asking you.
Do you know anything about what happened? I painted that wall, and then I split.
You didn't notice the bottles? You didn't see anything? Oh.
Oh, yeah.
I-I forgot to mention this.
There was this gang of looters who broke in after you left.
I tried to fight 'em off, but-- A simple yes or no.
Who the hell do you think you are, huh? Going around blaming people like this? Say no, and the conversation's over.
You know what, Sam? I'll tell you what.
It's over anyway.
You gonna eat? Hey, finish that or no Bananas in Pyjamas.
Hi, how was your day? About eight hours too long.
Did you get those, uh, change of address cards yet? Not yet.
Did you remember to call the phone company about forwarding your number here? What is this? A welcome-home quiz? Yes.
Um, [SIGHS.]
are you not planning on staying here? 'Cause Claud said she-- She heard you tell somebody that it was temporary.
OWEN: All done.
Good.
Go, uh-- Go watch your tape.
Are you staying? We rushed this.
We didn't think.
Um, if the fire hadn't happen-- Yeah, well, something horrible happened, we made something good from it.
What's the matter with that? No.
Look, I don't belong here, in this neighborhood, in this house.
Yes, you do.
Sure, you do.
Right.
I get up in the morning, your brother's trying to kick me out of bed.
And your sisters are giving me the evil eye.
People are thinking I'm the help.
What? And then I go into the office, and all day long I'm dealing with all these poor people.
Except I feel like I've crawled under barbed wire, and I'm just waving at them from the other side.
La-di-da! Look at me.
With all these white people and their big expensive houses.
And guess what, kids? It's free.
That is so-- What did you do that's so wrong? You moved in with your boyfriend who happens to be white and who happens to live in a pretty decent house.
So what? I sold out.
Why? Because you're not ducking drive-bys every minute? OWEN: It broke.
Owen, not now.
Go watch something else.
Go! That's good, Charlie, yell at him.
That'll definitely make him like me more.
Man, Grace, what--? What is this about? Is this about the--? The kids? Is it about the house? Is it about me? It's everything.
I-- I don't know how to solve everything.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Whatever you're selling, I don't want any.
JULIA: I wanna talk to you.
Open the door.
What? Let us in.
Us? Now.
What? Did your boyfriend send you to search the place? No.
No one sent us.
Bay, what is up? What is going on with you? Nothing.
Nothing.
Just leave me alone.
We're worried about you.
Oh, you two are like a team on this? Nothing else to do, kind of bored? "Hey, I know, let's go gang up on Bailey.
" She told me how you were at the concert.
You ambushed me, okay? I wasn't expecting her, and I didn't have dinner.
And, yeah, I had a couple of drinks.
So I was little, whatever.
I am sorry if I bugged you or something.
Are we done? What about Sam? What about the bottles that were missing? Oh.
Oh, here we are.
Well, screw that.
I didn't have-- He says you got all weird when he asked you about it.
Wow.
Jule, you would actually believe him over me? That-- Wow.
That says a whole hell of a lot about our relationship.
Look, all I know is that liquor was missing.
And-- And you have been drinking an awful lot these days.
So one plus one equals three.
And now all of a sudden I'm this thief.
Well, you know what? I don't need this.
Okay? The two of you can take your stupid ideas about me and get lost.
We're not gonna leave you.
It's a little late for that, Sarah.
Bay, we're supposed to not let each other do stupid things.
Or-- Or self-destructive things.
I mean, that is the deal with us, right? That-- That is the job.
Yeah? Well, then you're fired.
Okay, Julia.
You're off the hook.
And you too.
No, Bailey.
If you're in some kind of trouble-- I'm not.
And I want you out of here now.
Now! I am not just dropping this, Bay.
I am not just forgetting about this.
[***.]
So, what is with her? Is it this-- This Sam guy she's dating? Is it this college thing? I don't know.
'Cause something bit her in the butt, man.
No kidding.
This is really good food by the way.
Whoever said there's no such thing as a free meal? Any customers come, you're ditching that.
Got it? Mm.
She's probably driving you nuts at home, huh? She can take a number.
The truth is Julia and I are pretty much ignoring each other these days.
Good.
Good.
I mean that-- That she's not making you too No.
She's on my case all of a sudden now too.
She might say something to you.
About what? It's so dumb.
She thinks-- She thinks that I'm partying too much.
Which is so completely not true.
I mean, what is freshman year supposed to be about, right? Did I ever tell about that--? That ski trip that Dudley and I took Christmas break, freshman year? Mm-hm.
Let's just say that it takes a certain amount of skill to pee Charlie Salinger in the snow when you've got five tequila sunrises in you.
[BOTH LAUGHING.]
You see? That's-- That's exactly what I mean.
Not everybody's a straight arrow like her.
Anyway, whatever, just-- Hey, don't worry about it.
If she said anything positive for a change, that would get my attention.
Okay.
Cool.
Could you top that off for me? That's not the right place for those.
They don't go there.
Oh.
One mistake.
I guess you're fired.
Claudia.
I was I might have been a little rough on you this afternoon.
No harder than I am on myself most of the time.
But that's-- Anyway, I shouldn't have gotten so-- It's just if you're gonna do a job for somebody, you should-- You know, I would say apology accepted, except I didn't actually hear one.
You messed up a huge mailer for the program.
You cost us time.
You cost us money.
Never mind.
I came there 'cause I wanted us to be friends.
That's what I was trying to do.
Stupid me.
[CAR BEEPS.]
[SCOFFS.]
What are you doing? Stalking him now? I was waiting for you.
I know you have that dance class.
What? Bailey's in trouble, Callie.
He's-- What? Did something happen? No.
No, nothing happened.
It's just-- God, I mean, you've seen him.
You see him every day.
You have to know.
Know what? Come on, give me a break.
Callie, you're not blind.
All he does anymore is-- Is get drunk and be really nasty and push people away.
It isn't him.
I mean, you saw him.
You know how he was when you met him.
So what? This is my influence on him? You know, I don't need you insulting me, Sarah.
Okay? So-- No.
Wait.
Oh, God, d--? Do you really think I wanna be here with you? I mean, do you have any idea how--? I'm in love with him.
You know, I can't help it.
And maybe you are too.
I-I don't-- I don't know.
I don't wanna know.
But I think maybe I want you to.
What? Maybe I want you to love him.
You know, 'cause-- 'Cause maybe you'll get him to stop what he's doing.
The drinking and the-- The-- God, I don't even know what.
He won't listen to anybody.
Not Will or Julia or me.
I gotta go.
Try.
Please.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
I'm up.
It's kind of, uh-- Kind of too quiet to sleep.
If you want, I can go outside, set off a couple car alarms for you.
Oh, that's hysterical.
Obviously, we have a problem.
Only one? One at a time.
Okay.
Maybe it did happen too fast.
Us.
This.
I-- I don't think so.
But if you do But even if we weren't living together now, if, like, six months from now or a year from now things-- I'm-- I'm stuck here, Grace.
It's not horrible, you know.
It's an okay place to be stuck.
But I am.
It's not like I can just pack up Claudia and Owen and drag them downtown to live with you.
That's not-- That's not gonna happen.
See, I-I understand that.
But do you get why I need to be there? Uh-uh.
Actually, I don't.
I mean, those people that you help, they're not gonna be any more or less homeless because of where you live.
I'm gonna be different.
Every morning I would leave my house, and I would see them right there in front of me, how hard it is for them.
I'd know.
And they'd see me and they'd trust me.
It's-- You have to be there to really-- [DOOR OPENS.]
Owen, Owen-- No.
Wait.
Let him.
Let him stay.
He wants to be with you.
I'm gonna sleep on the couch tonight.
God, we're back to that again.
No.
I just-- I need-- I need to-- I don't know what I need.
Why is Grace sleeping downstairs? I don't think that's any of your business.
Okay.
Something else I can help you with? Yeah.
Look, we gotta, uh-- Something bad's going on with Bay.
[SCOFFS.]
Oh, yeah? What would that be? What's the attitude? No.
Go ahead.
Tell me all about it.
Wow.
Charlie, we can't even have a conversation anymore? Oh, sure.
Now.
What about when I've been trying to talk to you for-- For, like, weeks.
And all you would do is-- Is blow me off or run off to Sam's.
And the way you've been treating Grace, I don't know why I should talk to you at all.
Look, that's all-- You know what, this isn't about me.
This is about Bailey.
And how he's partying too much.
You know about it? Why don't you just admit that you can't stand seeing somebody else enjoying themselves.
What? That is so not-- Let me give you a news flash, Julia, you're not the smartest person in the world.
You don't know everything.
Neither do you.

[SLOW ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO.]
What you reading? I have no idea.
* I believe In right and wrong * So.
Dare I ask? Rent money? Not yet.
You kicking me out? Joining the growing numbers of the "I Hate Bailey Club"? Yeah, well, you are kind of a pain in the ass sometimes.
Not all the time, though.
Huh? Hm? Come on, say it.
Not all the time.
Okay.
Good.
I have one friend.
I'm gonna grab a beer.
You want? No, thanks.
I'll pass.
You know, maybe you ought to pass too.
That's all you need, you know.
What? Beer? No.
One good friend.
[CHUCKLES.]
That's you, Cal.
My one good friend.
Yeah? Yeah.
Come on.
Leave that.
Let's go to bed.
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
[***.]
Hey.
Looks like I wasn't the big draw after all.
Look at that.
See.
He wanted you.
I, um-- I know you're kind of big on being needed, Grace.
And I know you get that in your work a lot.
But that's not the only place where-- Us too, you know? We need you here.
Please.
Stay.
Okay.
Good.
Good.
Watch.
Don't wake him.
Be careful.
Are we gonna fit? We'll make room.
