(birds chirping) (upbeat music)
(man snoring) (gentle music)
- James. James, wake up?
- Huh?
- You didn't set your alarm.
(dramatic music)
It's past seven.
- Holy smokes.
(phone dinging)
Oh, oh.
- I really need to stop relying on your alarm
to wake me up.
How late were you out last night?
- I'm not sure. I was with Mike.
(phone dinging)
(James sighing)
- Everything okay?
- Another work emergency.
- The Grim Reaper?
- Kinsella.
And if you keep calling her that,
I might accidentally call her that one of these days.
- Well, it's fitting.
- [James] I know.
- Exactly.
I'll go work on the kids.
- Okay, I'll help out as soon as I can.
- I got it.
(phone dinging)
(slow music)
(upbeat music)
- Lady Sadie, get up.
Good morning.
All right, rise and shine, kiddo.
Up, up, Thomas.
I need you to get dressed.
We're running late today.
- You mean even more than usual?
- Yeah, even more than usual.
- I don't have any clean clothes.
- Okay.
- Mom, you didn't put the wash in the dryer.
- Oh, son of a bun.
(sniffs) Mm, no.
(sniffs) How about this?
Sadie, you can pick out something
from my closet if you like.
- Mom.
- Or don't.
Your two options are wear dirty clothes
or look like your mom today.
- There's no third option?
- Sadie, I need to get started on breakfast
and make everyone's lunches.
Just make a choice.
(Sadie sighing)
Thank you.
Oh, kiddo, your pants,
they're on backwards.
- I like having these pockets in the front.
- Okay, well that's not how they go
so let's just flip them around, all right?
Thank you.
Did you pack your assignment I helped you with last night?
- I can't find it.
- Do you remember the last place you saw it?
- Um, I think here or the kitchen table.
- All right, after breakfast
I want you to go and look for it.
(gasps) Oh hey, twin.
Love that outfit on you.
So cute.
- Why don't you have any normal-looking clothes?
- That top is vintage.
Isn't that cool with the kids these days?
- Stop.
- Need some help, buddy?
- Do we have any of the Crunch?
- I'm sorry, bud, I think we're out.
Do you want to try some of this kind?
There you go.
- Oh, who put my mug on the top shelf?
Hon, you know I'm a shorty pants.
Oh!
Oh. - Holy smokes.
- Son of a bun. (sighs)
Can I get a little help here?
- Yeah.
(phone ringing)
Sorry.
Hello.
- I gotta brush my teeth.
- You should get those paperclippy things
for your planner, Mom.
- That's a good idea, Thomas.
I got this.
Why don't you go look for that assignment?
- Okay.
(gentle music)
(Michelle sighing)
(car sputtering)
- Oh no, no, no, no, no.
Not today.
Yes, please, please, please. (car sputtering)
Sheesh.
(upbeat music)
(James groaning)
(James groaning)
Car won't start.
I'm sorry, I'm gonna need a ride.
- Really?
Okay, let me just finish this thing.
- I am really going to hear it from Kinsella
about being late.
- I'm just gonna chop it all off.
Let's get going.
All right, time to load up.
Lunches are on the counter.
- I think you look really good.
- Oh really?
You think this looks really good?
- Yeah.
(slow music)
- (gasps) Landry. Dryer.
I will be so quick.
I'll meet you in the van.
Can you round up the kids?
- Yeah.
(upbeat music)
Hello.
Yes, I'd like to order a bouquet of flowers for delivery.
(upbeat music)
- [Sadie] Scoot.
- On the card I'd like it to read,
"I love you. Happy Anniversary, Michelle."
- [Thomas] I'm so hungry.
- No, Michelle.
- Why didn't you eat more breakfast?
- As in Michelle.
- Because we ran out of my favorite cereal.
- Hey, can you guys keep it down while I'm on this call?
Yes, deliver tomorrow please.
- I think I'm starving.
- Here you go, buddy.
- Thank you so much.
(phone ringing)
Hello.
- I look terrible.
- Join the club.
Right, so we'll drop Sadie off first-
- No, no, we aren't able to do that.
- Then Dad, then you, Thomas. - And even if we could
we'd have to follow-
- And I'm coming- - The standard build up
before trying to escalate that issue.
- To your class this afternoon, remember?
- I can't hear you, Mom.
- Look, I'm on my way.
I'll be there in-
- Do you really need to be on the phone right now?
- Yeah, sorry.
I'll be there in about 10 minutes.
Please just stall if you can.
Started already.
- Let's see, I drop everyone off,
and then I have Zumba, therapy,
oh, Thomas' class, then my online class.
I have so much going on today.
- Isn't that like every...
Maybe just cut back.
- Well, maybe it wouldn't be so bad
if I could just get some help.
- I don't mind helping out, Michelle.
- It's fine.
- What would you like me to do?
- It's fine.
I just wish you didn't work so much.
- Me too.
(phone ringing)
(students laughing)
- All right, first stop, Lady Sadie.
I need to finish my makeup.
You're driving.
- Okay.
- Go around. Go outside.
- It's too late.
There could be multiple issues to that problem.
Could you elaborate?
- Deer, rabbit, chicken, and a fox.
(gentle music)
- I actually feel sick.
I think I need to go home.
- Is this because you're embarrassed
to be wearing my outfit?
- No, I, I actually just don't feel well.
- Okay.
- She's not sick.
Sadie, it's time to go to school.
- She doesn't like her outfit.
- Oh, hold on a sec.
(horn honking)
Sadie, you look really great today, sweetheart.
(students laughing)
All righty, so.
(upbeat music)
- I don't think she liked that.
- Huh?
- Just go. - Okay.
Oh.
- I need mascara.
Where is my mascara?
Is it the starter or the battery?
I hope it's not the alternator.
- [James] I'm so tired of things not working.
- We'll just have to figure out the car situation later.
- Yeah.
- Hey, I won't be able to pick you up this afternoon
because of my online class.
- Okay, I'll ask Mike for a ride.
Thanks for dropping me off.
And sorry about this morning.
I gotta go, I'm really-
- Late. - Yeah.
(slow music)
(Michelle sighing)
- Yeah, I can help you install the software.
Would you like me to help you do that?
- Hey. You know what the emergency was?
- Hey, man, Kinsella just fired Tony, Casey,
and Jonathan in front of everyone.
- What? - Yeah.
Crankenstein's gone full savage mode today.
- Sheesh. Thanks for the heads up.
- Mm-hm.
Yeah, so if you scroll down to the bottom of the website
you'll see a button that reads "Download Software."
(upbeat music)
- All right, kiddo.
Oh, Thomas.
You were eating in the van.
Who gave you food?
- Dad did.
I was hungry.
- Oh. Stick out your tongue.
On there.
All right. Hands up.
I know it's cold. I'll make this quick.
Did you find your assignment?
- No.
- That's okay. I'll talk to your teacher.
Don't worry about it.
- Okay.
- Have a good day.
- Bye, Mom. - Bye.
(James exhaling)
(door knocking)
- Come in.
- Do you want me to sit? I'll stand.
I'm so sorry I missed the meeting this morning.
I was late getting out the door
and my car actually wouldn't start.
- 20 years ago when I was working
for my first startup company I made it a point
to always arrive 10 minutes early to work.
You see, it was vital to my character
to be on time and to be punctual.
But on one particular morning
I was also having trouble getting out the door.
Without me realizing it, my sweet cat, Mittens
followed me outside.
I was in such a rush that I backed right over him,
he died instantly, and I was heartbroken.
But do you know what I did?
- Um, no.
- I choked down my tears and I went straight to work.
I arrived precisely on time.
I don't care that your car wasn't working.
(dramatic music)
You were a half hour late today,
which is basically stealing.
If you plan on doing that again,
don't bother showing up at all.
- Understood.
I'm sorry.
- Did you know your ratings are down?
- I didn't know that.
- Yes, they are, by 5%.
Which means you'll be getting a pay cut of 5%.
And to make up for being late this morning,
you'll be taking Jonathan's place at the conference
because he's no longer with us.
You'll be flying out this evening.
- Oh, it's actually my anniversary tomorrow, so I-
- Celebrate another day.
(slow music)
You can go now.
- I'm here, I'm here.
Don't leave, Kayla.
- (sighs) You know, not everyone's schedule
revolves around you, Michelle.
- I'm sorry. (exhales)
I am so sorry for being late.
Everyone gets a free session today.
(class cheering) (class clapping)
Let's get started.
(upbeat music)
All right, let's start with two deep breaths.
Ready and. (breathes deeply)
Let it go.
Again, and. (inhales)
Get ready to step it out.
And step, step,
step, step.
Nice job, ladies.
Don't forget to check yourself out.
(upbeat music)
(phone ringing)
(Michelle groaning)
Hi, Kathy.
- I was just calling to make sure
you're coming in this morning.
- Yeah, 11, right?
- 10:30.
- Oh, I thought it was 11.
- If you're late, the appointment will need to be canceled
and you'll be charged a fee again.
- No, I'm on my way.
(upbeat music)
(Michelle sniffing)
Mm. Mm-mm.
(Michelle clears throat)
(upbeat music)
- Two people from two different backgrounds,
lifestyles, and perspectives
come into one home to become one.
Understanding each other becomes a lifelong task,
and over time you learn humility and wisdom
are the greatest tools that you can possess as a spouse.
- Oh, that all sounds lovely,
but he just doesn't have time for us anymore.
For example, last night he calls and says
that he's going to be out late with a friend.
There was no, "Is it all right?"
He just goes and does it.
And I'm left to take care of the kids
and everything else around the house.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure
he's forgotten about our anniversary.
- And that does upset you?
- Well, yeah.
I mean, I don't know how we went
from being this adventurous, happy couple
that wanted to travel the world with our kids
to barely speaking to one another.
- Do you think that maybe you've created
a busy schedule for yourself in order to cope with the fact
that you feel James isn't around
to support you physically and emotionally?
- Maybe.
- Aside from wanting James around more,
what else do you want to change about the relationship?
(gentle music)
- I want that spark back.
I can't remember the last time he just held me
or gave me really good eye contact.
You know, the kind where he's staring into your eyes
but it doesn't feel like it's too much.
And then he says, "I love you," and he means it.
I don't know.
I, I just feel like he's checked out.
And even though I'm really busy, I also feel really alone.
- Oh, and last night Aubrey acted like nothing had happened.
I just don't understand how someone
could be so cold about it.
Are you okay?
- Ah, yeah, sorry, I was just lost in thought.
- What's going on?
- I don't know how I'm going to tell Michelle
I won't be around for our anniversary.
- Oh, that's tomorrow?
Good luck with that.
How long you two been together for again?
- 13 years.
- (laughs) Hey, congrats. Yeah.
- Thanks.
Oh, sorry.
- Oh, no, no, you know,
I'm happy it's going well for you two.
- Yeah.
You know, things aren't perfect with me and Michelle.
This job has been really hard on my family.
I just keep thinking if I stick around long enough
things will get better, I'll get paid more
or get to work less hours down the road.
- Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
Not with Kinsella running the show.
This job doesn't care about you.
They only pay you enough to kill your dreams.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, Thomas.
I am so sorry for being late.
- It's all right.
I'm just happy you're here.
Hey, are you computer savvy?
I can't seem to get this software
to work the way it's supposed to,
and everyone here seems to have the same problem.
- Oh.
My husband would know how to fix this.
Unfortunately I struggle with computers.
- You and me both.
Ah, hey, could you pass those papers out to the kids?
- You got it.
Oh, and Thomas lost his assignment from yesterday.
I'm so sorry.
I will be sure to help him
to keep better track of that kind of stuff.
And if there's anything he can do to make it up,
just let me know.
- Okay, I will.
Okay, pop quiz, hotshots.
(children groaning)
(upbeat music)
- [Instructor] I'd like to open up the discussion
on risk management and investments.
(phone dinging)
Rick management involves identifying, analyzing-
- [Michelle] "Hey.
"Just got off the phone with Jenny.
"She's really struggling with her newborn.
"Is it too much to ask if you could cook her dinner tonight?
"I am planning on bringing her a meal tomorrow."
Mm-hm.
(upbeat music) (instructor talking)
- [Instructor] Risk is inseparable from return.
Every investment involves some degree of risk.
(upbeat music) (instructor talking)
- Mm, that's good cheese.
(upbeat music) (instructor talking)
- [Instructor] Just a reminder
that there will be a test tomorrow.
- Got it.
Whoo.
Oh.
- [James] Thanks for the ride.
- Don't worry about it.
I wish we would have been on the same flight.
Could have rode together to the airport.
- It's okay.
Michelle will take me.
- See you there, man. (laughs)
(James sighing)
- Holy smokes.
(slow dramatic music)
Michelle. Hon, you home?
Got some time.
(upbeat music)
- I am so sorry about the mess.
The Cowleys down the street, they needed a meal.
I will finish that. (door thudding)
- [James] It's no big deal.
- [Michelle] Hi, Sadie.
How was your day?
- I don't want to talk about it.
- (sighs) She never wants to talk about it.
- Don't slam the door. (door slamming)
What's for dinner?
- Well, the meal that I had planned is-
- Hey, buddy.
How was your day?
- Fine.
- The meal I had planned is getting eaten by the Cowleys.
So I was thinking that we could do pizza tonight.
The kids would love it.
- Sure. Pizza sounds great.
- Great.
(phone buzzing)
Hello.
Yes, this is she.
Sadie did what?
(door knocking)
Sadie.
Sadie, I just got off the phone with your school
and they said that you skipped a class today.
I'd like to talk about it with you.
(slow music)
Hey, hey, can you help me with this?
- Sadie.
Sadie, open this door or we will take it off by the hinges.
I'm just kidding.
I respect your privacy.
(phone ringing)
I'm sorry.
Hello.
- Sadie, I want to help, but I can't
if you don't tell me what's going on.
- Mom, I really don't want to talk about it right now.
- Okay.
(doorbell ringing)
Food's here if you want any.
- What's up, little man?
- Mom, Dad, pizza.
- Oh, one second.
All right, what do I owe ya?
- 50 bucks.
- Holy smokes.
What does it come with, caviar?
- No, but it's a good thing you got the anniversary special
or else it would have been 65 bucks.
- Thanks.
- Appreciate it, my dude, and happy anniversary.
- Bye.
What's an anniversary?
- Well, it means the date
of when something important took place.
For your mom and I, it's the date of our wedding,
which is tomorrow.
We're celebrating 13 years of being married.
- 13th wedding anniversary on the 13th.
- Hey, you're right, 13th on the 13th.
Huh, how about that?
- Thanks for the anniversary pizza.
- You're welcome, kiddo.
- It's your guys' anniversary?
- Tomorrow it is.
- Are you doing anything?
- I don't know.
Are we?
- Because I was late today,
I now have to go to the work conference in Denver,
and the flight leaves tonight.
So I'll be out of town for our anniversary.
(slow music) - Okay.
- And I actually need a ride to the airport.
I wasn't supposed to go but Kinsella was on one today-
- [Michelle] And you're just now telling me?
- Well I just found out.
- You mean you found out this morning?
- Yes, but things were so busy at work
I didn't have time to call.
- [Michelle] (sighs) You never have time.
- I'm gonna do some homework.
Thanks for dinner.
- Yeah, thanks for dinner.
Can I watch a show?
- Did you do your make-up assignment from yesterday
and the one from today?
Okay, bring it here. I'll help you with it.
And if you finish it in time, you can watch one episode.
- Okay.
(slow music)
- I'm gonna go pack.
(leaves rustling)
(door knocking)
- Good news.
You won't have to wear my clothes tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, I just looked at my planner
and it says that I'm coming to your home economics class.
Gonna drop some mom knowledge. (laughs)
You excited?
- Sure.
- (sighs) So what happened at school today?
It's not like you to skip a class.
Did something happen with a friend?
Or that cute boy you like?
- Stop. - What?
I'm just trying to be a good mom.
- Then just, not right now.
(slow music)
- Okay.
(Sadie sighing)
Can't you just Uber to the airport?
- Can't afford it.
- It's only like 30 bucks.
- Dinner was 50.
We didn't have that to spare.
- Where is all our money going?
Also, why can't the Grim, Kinsella
cover the cost of an Uber?
It's a business trip.
Let the company pay for it.
- She doesn't see it that way.
- Why do you let her walk all over you?
- I, she's my boss, Michelle.
You don't understand.
- I understand that you're never around,
including on our anniversary,
which I'm pretty sure you forgot about
until I ordered the anniversary pizza to remind you.
- I did remember and I got you something
that'll be arriving tomorrow.
Besides, I'm not the only one who's not around.
You are constantly running from one thing to another.
I mean, look at your planner.
- Okay, I think it's you who doesn't understand me.
- Then help me understand you.
(door creaking)
- Mom, can you tuck me in?
- Sure, kiddo.
Gonna put this one to bed.
Let me know when you're ready to leave.
(James sighing)
And so the little dragon was grateful
to all the orphans for saving Christmas.
The end.
(gentle music)
You sure you're going to be all right
while I take your dad to the airport?
- Mm-hm.
Mom. - Hm?
- Are you and Dad okay?
- We're gonna be.
(slow music)
I hate that the kids heard us arguing.
- I don't like it either.
- I miss us.
- Me too.
- Money just always seems to be tight
and you're always on calls, and-
- Michelle, you have your own version of that.
The amount of things
that you cram into one day is way too much.
- Well, someone has to run the house
and take care of the kids since you're never around.
- I would love to stay home and take care of the kids.
And it's not just that.
It's the Zumba, the volunteering at the kids' schools,
the online classes, the cooking meals for all the neighbors.
You're overdoing it.
You need to learn when to say no.
- Well maybe I could say no if you were around.
Besides that, helping people in need feels good to me,
and I enjoy teaching Zumba,
and I'm trying to earn my degree
so we can have a proper double income
since your boss refuses to give you a raise.
- Kinsella actually decreased my salary by 5% today.
- Wow, James, you have got to stand up for yourself.
You are worth more than-
- Okay, Michelle, you wouldn't last one day at the office.
Trust me.
- Well you wouldn't last a day in my shoes either.
- I guess we'll never truly understand each other, will we?
- I guess not.
Let me know when you land safely.
- I will. It'll be around nine.
I'll text you.
- Love you.
- [James] Love you, too.
Can you open the trunk please?
- Yes.
(door thudding)
(slow music) (horns honking)
- [Both] If you only knew.
(thunder rumbling) (wind howling)
(dramatic music)
(wind whistling)
(thunder rumbling) (rain pattering)
(James snoring)
(thunder rumbling) (rain pattering)
(lightning crackling)
(birds chirping)
(Michelle groaning)
- Mom, we're late.
- Go tell your mother.
- What?
(gentle music)
- What is on me?
- Um, your hair.
(Michelle groaning)
(dramatic music)
Holy smokes.
(slow music)
- Um, Mom, are you okay?
- I'll be out in a second.
Can you get breakfast going?
- Um, I guess.
I don't know how to make anything.
Are you sure you're okay?
You're acting so weird.
- I'm fine.
It's just that time of the month again.
Let's do cereal. (groans)
I should call Michelle.
I'm Michelle.
(phone ringing)
- Hello.
- Ah, Michelle. - Yeah.
(slow music)
Wait? Who is this?
- Your husband. (groans)
Hello? Hello?
Michelle, can you hear me?
(dramatic music)
Hello?
- What is happening?
(James groaning)
Ah, son of a bun, that really does hurt.
- Are you okay?
- I'm gonna puke.
I'm gonna puke.
- I'm you.
Are you me?
- Yeah.
I don't understand.
How?
(Michelle groaning)
(James sniffing)
Oh, hon, you smell really bad.
- I didn't have time to shower last night.
It was a long day.
- What do we do?
- I don't know.
But (groans) why?
Why are periods so painful?
- It's not that big of a deal.
Just take a couple of painkillers and you'll be fine.
Just get the kids to school and then we'll figure this out.
(Michelle groaning)
Oh wow, facial hair feels so weird.
- Okay, okay, we don't tell the kids, right?
- Oh absolutely not.
We're not going to tell anyone.
- Maybe, maybe I'm going crazy.
Maybe this is all in my head.
- I know I'm not crazy.
I'm just trapped in my husband's body,
which I know sounds crazy, but here I am,
six foot something with stubble, triceps, and a...
(doorbell ringing)
Someone's at the door.
- It's probably Mike.
Just be cool.
- Okay.
Who is it?
- Ah, sheesh.
- It's Mike.
We've got 10 minutes.
- Thank you so much.
I'll be ready soon.
- [Mike] Cool.
- Okay, we can do this.
Do you have eyes on my planner?
- Yeah.
- Great, it has everything you need to know for the day.
Just get ready and take the kids to school.
- Okay.
- And keep your, I mean, keep my phone on you please.
- Same.
- Okay, all right.
Oh, I'm a Sasquatch.
(Michelle groaning)
(quirky music)
- Mom, we're like really late.
- Even more late than yesterday.
- Let's get going then.
- I'm still in my PJs.
- We don't have our lunches.
- What does Mom...
I mean, could you remind me
what I usually make you for lunch?
- PB and J, fruit snacks, juice box.
- Ham sandwich, chips, apples.
Oh, you know what, I'll just make it myself.
- No, no, I got it.
Thomas, why don't you pick out your own outfit today?
- You don't usually like what I pick out.
- I trust you, buddy.
(quirky music)
- Mom's lost it.
- [Thomas] Yep.
(upbeat music)
- How's it going?
- Good, really good.
I don't think the kids suspect a thing.
I'm just working on their lunches.
- Go you. I'm so proud.
I'm just showering off real quick
and then I'm gonna book the soonest flight home.
- What? No.
No, don't do that.
- James, we are in a serious crisis right now.
I can't be here.
We have to get back to the same place
so we can figure out how to switch back into our own bodies.
- No, no, please do not book that flight.
I need to be, you as me needs to be at that conference.
If you come home now, I will lose my job.
We just need to make it through the next 48 hours
and then I promise we will figure this out together.
- [James] Okay, fine, but what do I do in the meantime?
- Stay close to Mike.
Follow his lead.
Think what I would do in that situation and then do that.
- Great.
- Kids are coming back, I gotta go.
- Did you understand everything written in the planner?
Hello? James?
- Mom.
- Let's get going.
- Aren't you going to do Thomas' hair?
- Your hair looks good, buddy.
(upbeat music)
Ah, sheesh, where's the phone?
Where'd it go?
I'm coming. I'm coming
And I think I might be losing my mind
Going crazy, yeah
With my big old muscles I keep running into things
(slow music) (horns honking)
(door knocking)
- We gotta go, man.
- Ah! What are you doing?
Get out.
- What?
You gave me a spare key last night
just in case you're running late, and which you are.
- I just don't want you to see me right now.
I'm not modest.
- (laughs) Okay, you got me.
What movie are you quoting right now?
Is it a Western?
It's gotta be a Western.
- I just need to get my clothes on real quick, bro.
- What is it from?
- It's not from a movie. - No, no, no, don't tell me.
I know I can get it.
I can get it.
- Please just leave.
- (laughs) All right, but look,
seriously, we gotta go, okay?
- Okay.
Give me a hint. - Son of a bun!
- (laughs) You're a funny guy, James.
- Holy smokes, she's tiny.
(upbeat music)
- [Sadie] Mom, you're going the wrong way.
- Sheesh, get up here.
Tell me where to go.
(bell ringing)
I'm sorry I got all turned around.
- Only missed my first class.
Are you still coming to Home Ec today?
- Huh?
Oh, oh.
Yes, I will be there doing what I said I would.
Looks like 2:00 p.m. today.
Have a great day.
(sighs) Have a great day.
- Mom, I forgot my assignment.
- Buddy, we can't go back for it.
Homework doesn't really matter in elementary school anyway.
- Really?
- How do I get to your school from here?
Navigate to nearest elementary school.
(phone ringing)
- Hi.
- [Michelle] Just checking in.
How's it going?
- Good.
Mike and I are just heading into this thing right now.
Kids at school?
- [Michelle] Almost.
Just dropping off Thomas.
Remember, follow Mike's lead.
- Easy peasy.
Oh.
- Is this the right school?
- I think so.
- Like your outfit, buddy.
Bye. - Bye.
- Software implementation refers to integrating
and adopting software into business workflows.
It allows companies to access the latest technologies
and help the employees to increase their productivity levels
and produce good quality work.
Speaking of productivity, how many programmers
does it take to change a lightbulb?
None, it's a hardware program.
(group chuckling)
- You're doing great.
- Thank you.
Anyone, our insightfully designed-
(phone buzzing)
software implementation project plan
helps provide the implementation of new applications
and user-friendly experience to your customers-
- I can't believe she's doing this.
- Oh, I know.
- [Presenter] Due to the lack
of effective software solutions,
gap analysis, key attributes-
- Hi. I'm obsessed with your outfit.
- [Presenter] It represents-
(quirky music)
how an effective software solution helps organizations
reduce administrational and operational expenses,
decrease project risks.
(upbeat music)
- No, no, no.
(tires squealing)
Zumba at nine.
Grocery shopping.
Clean the house.
Online class at one.
Sadie's school at two.
Hm, not one mention of our anniversary.
And she was giving me a hard time. Sheesh.
(class chattering)
- Oh, look who's on time for once.
What's the special occasion?
- I'm just going to get the music started.
(upbeat music)
All right, time to work out now.
- What is happening?
(upbeat music)
- Cramps! (groans)
I don't think I can do the class today.
I started my period.
(class chattering)
- Guys, it's not that big of a deal.
- Kayla, not all cramps are equal.
- Yeah, my sister's endo and she can't get off
the bathroom floor for the first three days.
- Okay, fine.
Well, I do the moves better anyway, so let's do this.
- Oh, oh, oh. (groans)
(Michelle breathing heavily)
(phone ringing)
Hello.
- [Thomas] Hi, Mommy.
- Hey, buddy, why are you calling?
- [Thomas] You dropped me off at the wrong school.
(slow dramatic music) (Michelle sighing)
- I'm sorry, bud.
I don't know what's wrong with Mommy today.
- It's okay.
They had a cool playground.
(tires squealing)
(gentle music)
- I spoke to the office.
They know you're coming.
- Here I go.
- Have a great day, buddy.
- Why do you keep calling me buddy?
You never call me that.
- I don't?
What do I usually say?
- Um, my name mostly.
Sometimes kiddo.
I don't mind.
It just reminds me of Dad, that's all.
(gentle music)
(upbeat music)
- Okay, test time.
You've got this.
I don't got this.
- We'll have different phases of implementation
and we've taken into account any problems that may arise.
(phone buzzing)
You'll have until the end of the year
until you are meant to implement the new updates
and the old system will no longer be in use.
(phone beeping)
- Oh.
How about this one?
(phone buzzing)
(phone beeping)
Ha! This is working out nicely.
- Hey, what are you doing?
Kinsella's watching.
- Is there something more important than this meeting?
- I'm so sorry.
It's just my hus, my wife had some questions for me.
- Are they life or death questions?
- No, but they have to do with some work
that I only know the answers to.
- You work for me, not her.
Moving on.
(quirky music)
- Okay, time to start guessing.
I'm so, so sorry.
Mm, A, B, C.
Okay, on to the next thing.
(Michelle groaning)
Clean house.
I got this.
(vacuum humming)
(Michelle snoring)
(phone chiming)
Sadie.
- All right, so once everyone has tried
one of Jeffrey's burned cookies,
then we can move on to the next part of class today.
Oh, Mrs. Edwards.
Thank you so much for coming.
I could really use a break.
Class, this is Sadie's mom, Mrs Edwards.
She's a full-time stay-at-home mother.
I know, rare these days.
She's gonna answer any questions you guys might have
about being a mother, and anything else that you have, so.
(quirky music)
- Hi, I'm Michelle.
I'm a mom.
Any questions?
(student coughing)
- Um, I have a question.
What, what's a typical day for you?
- (laughs) Oh man.
Check this out.
This is my planner.
And here is what today looks like.
And it's like this every single day
with slight variations of the same chaotic thing.
I wake up, get the kids fed,
make their lunches, take them to school,
teach Zumba, grocery shop,
get a call from one of my kids
that I dropped them off at the wrong school.
So I go and I take him to the right school.
Don't forget about your online class
because you want to earn that degree
you never finished when you were in college.
Oh, and clean the house.
And volunteer here and volunteer there.
And I just, I feel like I'm needed
by everyone else around me,
and I wish that I could just get a little help.
(gentle music)
If I'm being honest, it's a really hard and thankless job.
And I'm having an off day.
I could use another nap.
But normally I'm a really great mom,
despite getting little to no help most days.
You know what does help though?
A planner.
- Mom, wait up.
Can I get a ride home with you?
- Sure.
- Later, Sadie.
- See ya.
Aren't you gonna ask me about the boy?
- What boy?
- You're always asking me which boys I like,
and the cutest boy in school talks to me
right in front of you and you don't say a thing?
- I figured if you wanted to tell me about him, you would.
Did you want to tell me-
- Not right now.
(phone ringing)
- Hello.
- [Mrs Oiler] Mrs Edwards.
Hey, this is Mrs Oiler.
Uh, Thomas was missing his assignment again today.
He's falling behind and needs to be turning in his homework
like the rest of the students.
- I'm sorry, I'll be sure that he turns it in tomorrow.
- [Mrs Oiler] Thank you. Take care.
- Homework matters in second grade?
- What an awful day.
- We've had worse.
- We have?
- Oh yeah.
- Oh, I can't believe
I complimented the Grim Reaper's outfit.
- (laughs) Grim Reaper, that was funny.
So yeah, I didn't know you were so into fashion.
You okay?
'Cause, you know, you've been acting different.
- Yeah, I'm good, I'm good.
I'm just worried about things back home.
- Um, I'm sorry.
Hey, thanks for being there for me the other night.
Aubrey asked me for a divorce.
It meant a lot having you around.
- Oh, yeah, of course.
I'm glad I could be there when you needed me.
You're my best buddy.
- Best buddy?
- I mean, you know what I mean.
- What's your secret?
- I don't...
What do you mean?
- I've never heard you complain
about you and Michelle's relationship ever.
- Wait, never?
Like never, never ever, ever, ever?
- Nah, the closest you got was when you told me yesterday
this job's getting hard on your family.
- That's it? - That's it.
- Wow, I'm impressed.
- (laughs) Me too.
- Dig in.
(doorbell ringing)
- [Sadie] Those from Dad?
- Yeah.
- Did you get anything for Dad?
- I don't think so.
This hasn't been our best anniversary.
- Has there ever been a good one?
- Well, there was one year that your, I planned
a really cool rockhounding trip to New Mexico for your dad.
- What's rockhounding?
- It's when you go looking for rocks.
- For fun?
- Yeah.
Have I never told you how much I,
your dad loves rocks and fossils?
I mean, I love them too, but not as much as your dad.
- Really?
What kind of rocks did you find?
- That trip? Moonstone.
(gentle music) You know what?
I think we still have them.
All right, check these out.
Pretty awesome, right?
- These are really cool.
- Wow.
- When we found these,
we felt like we had discovered buried treasure.
I remember saying something cheesy like,
"Being with you is better than finding moonstone."
- So how did you guys fall in love?
- Uh, we met in a geology class in college.
- Geology?
- More rock stuff.
- Your, I, I was taking it for fun.
And well, your dad, he actually used to be a geology major
before he realized he couldn't pay the bills that way.
- Dad wanted to be a geologist?
- Yeah, for a time.
- But how did you fall in love?
- Well, we would go on all these outdoor adventures,
camping, hiking, rockhounding.
And it was somewhere between all that adventuring
that I realized I wanted to keep doing that
with this incredible person for the rest of my life.
- Why don't you take us on adventures?
- Yeah, for real, Mom.
It sounds pretty fun.
- We wanted to.
We used to talk about it all the time.
Then life happened.
(both sighing)
- I don't know how he does it.
- I don't know how she does it.
(gentle music)
(phone ringing)
- Hey, just about to call you.
Happy anniversary.
- Happy anniversary.
Your flowers arrived tonight.
- Oh you got me flowers?
- Yeah, they weren't great.
- Well, you did better than me.
I didn't get you anything,
on purpose because I was hurt.
- I deserved it.
I'm sorry.
I can do better.
I'm going to do better, Michelle.
- Okay.
- Just gotta make it through one more day.
- And then I can come home.
- How'd the conference go?
- Oh, fine.
Your boss is horrible.
- I know.
- [James] How about you?
- Ah, I really botched my way through it, but survived.
Dinner with the kids was nice.
- Really? - Yeah.
I told them about how we met.
- Oh, I wish I could have been there.
- Me too.
It would have been nice to share that story
in our own bodies.
Michelle, I, I can't go back to that Zumba class.
It was really bad.
I ran out.
- You ran out?
Did you blame it on my period?
- Yeah, actually I did.
- Okay, good.
I'm gonna FaceTime you right now.
- What? Why?
- It's time for you to learn some Zumba.
Oh, oh, sweetie, did you wear that all day?
- Yeah, it's comfortable.
- Okay, after Zumba lessons
I'm going to pick out your outfit for tomorrow.
So we're gonna fly. Are you ready?
(upbeat music)
We're going to start on this leg, okay?
Ready, go.
Step, step, step it out.
Step, step, step it out, and switch.
Step, step, step it out.
Yes! So good, sweetie, so good.
Just remember though, the hips, okay?
So this is what we're gonna do.
So sit into this, okay?
Let's just hang out like this for 10 minutes, all right?
Patrick Swayze.
You got it. Oh yeah.
(phone buzzing)
(wall thudding) - Ow.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music)
- Thanks, Mom. - Thanks, Mom.
- This new update will make everything more efficient,
which will inevitably improve the customer's experience.
(James yawning)
James, why don't you explain our new update to our clients?
(slow music)
- Yes, I would be honored.
I'm so sorry.
- Good luck.
- This new update is going to make everything better.
It's really gonna make you ready for more.
And ready for more.
Okay, we don't need to read all that.
Or that.
You know what, let's mix things up.
I personally love getting into different learning styles.
And how boring is it to just listen
to someone explain things to a room?
You guys are probably so bored listening to me, right?
- Kinda.
- See, thank you for your honesty, ma'am.
So which of you has had a chance
to look over the new update?
Oh, perfect, perfect.
Let's role-play.
Come on up.
Yes, let's role-play.
Let's just pretend that I am a, a stay-at-home mom
who has zero interest or experience with IT.
And I mean, I know nothing about technology.
For example, for years I thought the cloud
was an actual cloud kept in a warehouse in San Francisco.
So what I need you to do, come here,
yes, watch your step.
So what I need you to do is explain to me,
the housewife, what the update is
and how it will improve my customer experience.
Go.
- Well, when I first looked at the pilot implementation-
- Oh, I'm sorry, pilot pimple whaty?
- Implementation.
(group chuckling)
- Okay, continue.
- So, do you think she'll be on time today?
(upbeat music) (singer vocalizing)
- Yeah, I took something.
All right, let's do this.
Side step it out.
(singer vocalizing)
I'm going to do something with my arms soon.
Just watch me, gonna start this way.
Makes me feel all right - Nine, eight, 10, 11.
(singer vocalizing)
Good.
Two hands now. Nice.
Gonna grapevine this way.
Clap your hands.
Yeah, other way, good job.
We having fun?
(class cheering)
Me too.
(clock ticking)
- That is a cute outfit.
- Oh, thank you.
My, I picked it out myself.
- I picked mine out myself too.
So, do you have a jumping off point for today?
- I, no.
Everything's good.
- Really? - Yeah.
- So your feelings have changed then?
- No, no, what I said last time is still valid.
- Ah, so you're still thinking about a divorce then?
(melancholy music)
- Divorce?
- That's where we ended our last session
and why you asked to see me again so soon.
I wrote down that you felt disconnected from James
and that ultimately you felt that he no longer loved you.
- But that's not true.
Why would she say?
- [Kathy] Excuse me?
- I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time
wrapping my head around...
Divorce?
- [Kathy] No, I understand.
Take your time.
There are a lot of different emotions
that come up with this topic.
(melancholy music)
(Michelle sighing)
(phone buzzing)
- Hello.
I'm be right there.
(Michelle exhaling)
(Sadie sobbing) (slow music)
- I thought he liked me too.
I feel so lame.
- What? Who?
- Russell. - Oh.
Who's Russell?
- The cute boy you're always asking me about.
- Oh. Did he hurt you?
- No.
I mean, talking about all the romantic things
you and Dad used to do, and I thought
maybe I should put myself out there, you know
and I, I took one of your moonstones,
I'm sorry, but I gave it to him.
And he hated it.
- Did he say that?
- No, he didn't say anything.
He just stared at it.
And then I ran away.
- Sadie, I'm, I'm not mad about the moonstone.
But you can't come home early from school
because you think a boy didn't like the gift you gave him.
(Sadie sobbing)
(Michelle sighing)
Sadie. - What?
- [Michelle] Please don't slam the door.
- [Thomas] Hi, Mom.
- Hey, buddy.
- Teacher told me to give you this.
- The teacher said you turned in a blank assignment today.
Why didn't you do it?
- I didn't know how.
You usually help me.
(slow music)
- Why do second graders even have homework?
(phone dinging)
- I'm so glad that's all over and done with.
- Tell me about it.
- Well I'd say you went above and beyond
to underperform, James.
Where do you think you went wrong in the last two days?
- Why don't you just tell me so that I can fix it?
- No, that's not how this works.
Why don't you put in some effort and think
why I would be so close to firing you right now?
- Honestly, I had no idea what was going on.
The last two days have felt like a huge waste of my time.
I could have accomplished 100 different things
from yesterday morning up until right now.
Also a 5% decrease in my salary.
Are you kidding me?
What boss thinks that's ever gonna make
any of their employees work harder for them?
So if you're gonna fire me,
just go ahead and do it already, Grim Reaper.
- Don't you say a word.
(door knocking) (slow music)
- [Michelle] Sadie, can we talk?
- Mm. - Is that a yes?
- Mm-hm.
(gentle music)
- I'm sorry about earlier.
I know I didn't handle that like a parent should.
- I really like him.
- Yeah?
- I just feel like I keep messing up around him.
It's why I skipped Home Ec.
It's the only class we have together
and I heard some of the popular girls
saying things about my outfit.
So I didn't go.
I hid in the bathroom.
He probably thinks I'm so lame.
- I doubt that, but I understand the feeling,
the messing up part.
- Really? - Yeah.
I feel like I've let your Dad down the last few days.
And if I'm being honest, longer than that.
- (sighs) What should we do?
- Hm. What do you think I should do?
- I think you should talk to him, tell him how you feel.
Say sorry for the things you did wrong.
- That's good advice.
- What should I do?
- You should talk to him, tell him how you feel.
- (clears throat) Can we watch a show?
- I'm down.
Sadie?
- Sure.
- [Thomas] Yes!
- You know what, thanks for saying
what we all wish we could say.
You're a legend.
- I don't know how I'm gonna tell Michelle.
- Ah, come on, you're not completely fired yet.
Besides, I think you I both know
you've been wanting this for years now.
All right?
Take care, buddy.
- Oh.
- (laughs) I'm sure we'll be seeing
each other around regardless.
Even if you don't have a job.
- Goodnight.
Oh, and if you ever need anything like a home-cooked meal,
or some bro time with me, you got it.
- I appreciate that.
(gentle music)
- Goodnight, Michael.
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
(birds chirping)
Oh nuts.
- You're home.
- I'm so glad to be back.
You're still me though.
- Yeah.
- What if we kiss?
- Ah, that's a little cliche.
- Hey, it might work.
- All right. (clears throat)
Kissing me is weird.
- It wasn't so bad for me.
My face is softer.
- Yeah.
How'd the rest of the conference go?
- Fine.
I really let Kinsella have it.
And I'm so sorry, sweetie,
but I don't think you have a job anymore.
What you deal with is really hard.
And I try to think the best of people,
but I think she's legitimately a demon.
And I could never do that day in and day out.
And I will go in and grovel at her feet if that-
- I don't care.
I mean, I definitely need a job.
But I've never seen you lose it on anyone.
So she must have been extra cruel-ella.
(James laughing)
Besides, I failed your test.
- Me losing your job and failing a test for my online class
are not the same thing.
- Yeah, but Thomas is falling behind in school
because I forgot to help him with a couple of assignments.
- That's okay.
We'll go talk to his teacher.
I'll go with you and we'll see how we can make up for it.
- Michelle, there's one other thing
I want to talk to you about.
(footsteps thudding)
- Mom, can you help me pick out an outfit?
- Of course, kiddo. (upbeat music)
Oh, I missed you.
- Is it all right if your dad helps you out today?
- Yep.
- I'm gonna get started on breakfast.
- Great, let's go, kiddo.
Ooh, good morning, Lady Sadie.
Oh, I missed you.
How was school the last few days?
How's the cute boy?
- Ah, it's been okay.
Mom and I already talked about it.
- Oh, and what did she say?
- She said I can't just run away from my problems
and that I should communicate instead.
- Really?
And that didn't bother you at all?
- Well, it bugged me at first.
But then after talking about it more, it made sense.
- And, and how did she get you to talk about it?
- I don't know.
I think she finally stopped asking me so many questions
and let me decide when I was ready to talk.
- Huh.
- Can I go now? - Yeah.
(Michelle vocalizing)
Sweetie, making waffles?
My favorite.
- Hey, they're Mom's favorite too.
- I know, that's why I'm making them.
These are almost done.
You can take some time to get ready if you like.
I got this.
- Okay.
Hey, love that color.
- Mom, I thought of a really good way
to fix things with Dad.
- Really?
- I want to help too.
- [Michelle] Let's huddle up.
- This is so much easier.
(phone dinging)
(gentle music)
- Then we have flowers everywhere.
- Yes. - That type of thing.
- Yeah.
- What am I not being included in?
- Nothing.
- Okay, but I'll find out.
- Waffles are ready.
- Kids, why don't you dish up?
I need to speak with your mother really quick.
(gentle music)
I got this text from Kinsella this morning.
- Okay.
- Okay? - Yeah, okay.
- Okay, you're fine?
Okay, you're mad at me?
Okay, what?
- I'm fine.
If anything, I'm relieved,
because I still don't know how to fix it.
This way I can think about and I can just spend
the rest of the day with you and the kids.
- Okay.
I'm so sorry, sweetie.
- It's okay.
We can figure it out.
I want us to figure it out.
(students laughing)
- Have a great day, sweetheart.
- Thanks, Dad.
I'm excited for tonight.
- Me too.
- What was that all about?
- Nothing.
- Oh wait, it's cute boy.
- Hey. - Russell.
- Oh hey.
- [Sadie] I like your jacket.
- [Russell] That color looks good on you too.
(upbeat music)
(Sadie laughing)
- Wow, I feel like a lot happened while I was gone.
- Oh yeah, Mom dropped me off at the wrong school.
- What?
- I got him to the right one, eventually.
(students talking)
Bye, buddy.
- Have a great day, kiddo.
We're going to meet with your teacher after school
so you can ride with us
instead of walking home if you like.
- Okay.
- Zumba's next.
- Oh, how about I come with?
- Good, I was hoping you'd say that.
(upbeat music)
- Up, and up, and up.
Yes.
And a shimmy, shimmy.
Shimmy.
Around the world.
Show those hips, ladies.
And a big strong finish.
There we go.
All right, ladies. (claps)
(class applauding)
Great session.
We'll see you next time.
- That's great.
- That was so fun, Michelle. Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Seriously, you can bring your man anytime.
- Hey, I like that you were on time today.
- Turning over a new leaf, Kayla.
- I was thinking we could grab a bit to eat before therapy.
- Oh, is that today?
- Yeah, I scheduled another appointment
after yesterday's session for the both of us.
I hope that's okay.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Are you sure we can't tell anyone about this,
not even your therapist?
- Sweetie, we would be declared insane
and lose custody of the kids,
or be forced into getting a lobotomy or something.
- No, they don't do that anymore, hun.
- This sort of thing, it doesn't happen in real life.
- Okay, I just don't know
that I can pretend to be you in this session.
We won't get anything useful out of it
if we're pretending to be the other person.
- Oh, I know what to do.
So we're trying this new trendy couples exercise
where we pretend to be the other person
to try and gain insight on where they're coming from.
So I'm pretending to be Michelle
and Michelle is pretending to be me.
- Interesting.
So I respond to you as if you are Michelle
and Michelle is you.
- Exactly.
- Okay, I'll play.
James, how about you start?
(slow music)
- I didn't know things had gotten so bad.
Why didn't you tell me?
- I thought you were too busy.
- Michelle, I want you to go a little bit deeper.
Okay, what's behind the statement,
"I thought you were too busy?"
- I was scared. - Of what?
- That you no longer loved me.
- I've always loved you.
I'm sorry if I haven't shown it the way that I should have
the last several years.
- No, I'm sorry that I didn't communicate my needs sooner.
You work so hard for our family.
And to be honest, that wasn't crystal clear to me
until this week.
You're right, I do too much,
and I was doing that to avoid how I was really feeling.
Because I felt like if I wasn't doing everything
around the house and for the kids, you would love me less.
Which I know sounds silly, but I get it now
and I'm sorry that it took me so long.
- Michelle, I am just as responsible
for taking care of things around the house
and with our kids, as much as you are.
We're a partnership.
And I'm sorry if I made you feel
like you had to shoulder it all.
I don't know how you get it all done in a day.
I mean, I know it's partially due to-
- [Both] The planner.
- But you're my superhero.
And I was letting work cut me off
from what really matters to me.
It's you and the kids.
- Wow, you two are really good at that.
What technique is this called?
I might suggest it to some of my other clients.
- What's it called? Um.
It's called body swapping. - Mm-hm.
- [Kathy] Mm.
(bell ringing) (children talking)
- Hey, buddy, you want to wait for us
so we can give you a ride home?
- Nah, Sadie and I need to work on something.
I can walk.
Bye. - Bye.
- Bye.
Work on something with Sadie?
You know what that's about?
- No.
- It's our fault. We're sorry.
Some big changes have taken place.
But we're embracing them and we're gonna be more present.
- What can we do right now to make it up?
- Uh, well, let's see what we can do.
(computer beeping)
(groans) Uh, this program never works.
Oh, I remember you said your husband
was good with that kind of thing.
Would you mind taking a look?
(slow quirky music)
- Yeah, let me take a look.
Sometimes the cookies can get burnt, so-
- Hon, mind if I- - Mm-hm.
- Try? - Yeah.
- He's been teaching me some easy fixes
and I'm really wanting to put my skills to the test.
- Quick learner.
(computer dinging)
- All right, should be good to go.
- Wow, you must be a great teacher.
You fixed that in no time.
- Thank you.
- You should come work for us.
(James laughing)
- That actually sounds great.
Is the school hiring?
- Last I heard, yes,
an IT system administrator, to be exact.
And I think it's only needed during school hours.
- When do they want the position filled?
- As soon as possible.
The principal is still here.
Do you want to go talk to him?
- Oh no, I have to retake that test by six
and it's already 5:30.
The kids must be starving.
- I got it.
- You do? - Yeah.
In fact, I can't let you see what's going on inside.
So gonna have to blindfold you.
(gentle music)
May I? - Okay.
- Can you bend your knees?
Thank you.
- For sure.
- Right.
Here we go.
First step coming up.
I'm going to guide you upstairs
where your online test awaits.
No coming out until we're done.
- What is going on, James?
- Games? There's no games going on.
- Ready? Lift.
- All right, we're almost there.
- Okay.
- Watch my shoulders.
- Oh, James.
- I've written you a note.
You can read it after I leave.
Gonna leave this open.
I trust you.
- "When you're finished, get ready because it's date night.
"Starting with a bubble bath.
"Check the bathroom.
"I'm sorry it's taken me so long to treat you
"like the queen that you are.
"I still feel like being with you
"is better than finding moonstone.
"Good luck on your test, gorgeous."
(upbeat music)
- This looks incredible.
I'm gonna get started on dinner.
Sadie, you still good to help me
with my hair and makeup when I'm done?
- Oh yeah, I got you.
(James inhaling)
- That wasn't so bad.
- Come on, we need to stick to the schedule.
- Okay. Okay.
- Don't ruin my road. - Oh, sorry.
(James sighing)
- Okay, let's see.
Boring, boring, boring.
Hello.
(door knocking)
Wow, I look fantastic.
Did Sadie help you?
- She did.
(gentle music)
(James gasping)
- Oh my goodness.
- We will be your servers tonight.
- You have a full meal.
- Full-course meal.
- Full-course meal with three servings of appetizers.
- Appetizers, main course.
- And dessert.
- Good job.
- This is too perfect.
- You deserve it.
- Oh, this was a nice touch.
- Thank you.
I was thinking that we could plan a trip
to the Pacific Northwest.
I hear they have a lot of amethyst and obsidian.
- My favorites.
- We could bring the kids, camp on the coast.
That is if you want to.
- Well, I'll need to check my planner,
but that all sounds wonderful.
(Michelle clears throat)
Mm, dinner was amazing.
(gentle music)
- May I?
- You may.
- Sweetie.
What if we're stuck like this forever?
- That's not gonna happen.
- How do you know?
- Well, I don't know for sure,
but whatever it is we're experiencing,
I feel that it's temporary.
Maybe it's our final wake-up call.
- Well it's a very intense wake-up call.
- Do you really want a divorce?
- I didn't know where our relationship was headed.
It was only briefly discussed as an option.
I didn't know what else to do.
- Do you still feel that way?
- No, I don't feel that way anymore.
- Good, because I love you, Michelle.
I'm in love with you.
And I don't want to lose you.
(air whooshing) (intense music)
(Michelle gasping)
(upbeat music) (Michelle laughing)
I told you a kiss would work.
- Well I don't know why it worked now.
- I do.
It's because we meant it this time.
(upbeat music)
(birds chirping)
(phone buzzing)
(James groaning)
What is it?
- It's Kinsella.
She wants to see me in an hour.
- It's the weekend.
- I know.
I'm sorry. I think I should go in.
Can I take the van?
- Let me check my planner.
You know what?
Yeah, you can take the van.
- All right.
I'll start on breakfast while you get ready.
- Okay.
(gentle music)
- I appreciate you meeting me on a Saturday.
That shows a lot of character that you put work first.
- I don't.
- I'm not going to fire you, James.
For whatever reason, your little outburst in Denver
reminded me of myself 20 years ago,
clawing and fighting my way to the top,
proving myself time and time again
to higher-ups that didn't deserve my efforts.
In fact, I'm going to give you
a 5% raise in salary and a promotion.
It'll be a harder workload but it'll be worth it
in five to 10 years.
(gentle music)
- I won't be here in five or 10 years.
In fact, starting now I won't be here at all.
(upbeat music)
(birds chirping)
- Where's Mom?
- I don't know.
- She's probably going to be late.
- I'm here.
- You ready to go hiking?
- Yes.
- Are we going rockhounding?
- Absolutely, buddy.
- Yes.
- Mom, I forgot my jacket.
- You can borrow mine then.
- I think it's warming up.
I should be fine.
- Michelle, you ready for a little adventure?
- An adventure sounds great.
- [Sadie] Diarrhea.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music) (singer vocalizing)
(singer vocalizing)
Oh, gotta keep moving on
Oh, gotta keep moving on
Makes me feel all right
(singer vocalizing)
What a feeling
(singer vocalizing)
(singer vocalizing)
What a feeling
(singer vocalizing)
Makes me feel all right
Hey, far away when the day meets the night
Makes me feel all right
Hey, when the day drips away at the night
Makes me feel all right
(birds chirping) (upbeat music)
(man snoring) (gentle music)
- James. James, wake up?
- Huh?
- You didn't set your alarm.
(dramatic music)
It's past seven.
- Holy smokes.
(phone dinging)
Oh, oh.
- I really need to stop relying on your alarm
to wake me up.
How late were you out last night?
- I'm not sure. I was with Mike.
(phone dinging)
(James sighing)
- Everything okay?
- Another work emergency.
- The Grim Reaper?
- Kinsella.
And if you keep calling her that,
I might accidentally call her that one of these days.
- Well, it's fitting.
- [James] I know.
- Exactly.
I'll go work on the kids.
- Okay, I'll help out as soon as I can.
- I got it.
(phone dinging)
(slow music)
(upbeat music)
- Lady Sadie, get up.
Good morning.
All right, rise and shine, kiddo.
Up, up, Thomas.
I need you to get dressed.
We're running late today.
- You mean even more than usual?
- Yeah, even more than usual.
- I don't have any clean clothes.
- Okay.
- Mom, you didn't put the wash in the dryer.
- Oh, son of a bun.
(sniffs) Mm, no.
(sniffs) How about this?
Sadie, you can pick out something
from my closet if you like.
- Mom.
- Or don't.
Your two options are wear dirty clothes
or look like your mom today.
- There's no third option?
- Sadie, I need to get started on breakfast
and make everyone's lunches.
Just make a choice.
(Sadie sighing)
Thank you.
Oh, kiddo, your pants,
they're on backwards.
- I like having these pockets in the front.
- Okay, well that's not how they go
so let's just flip them around, all right?
Thank you.
Did you pack your assignment I helped you with last night?
- I can't find it.
- Do you remember the last place you saw it?
- Um, I think here or the kitchen table.
- All right, after breakfast
I want you to go and look for it.
(gasps) Oh hey, twin.
Love that outfit on you.
So cute.
- Why don't you have any normal-looking clothes?
- That top is vintage.
Isn't that cool with the kids these days?
- Stop.
- Need some help, buddy?
- Do we have any of the Crunch?
- I'm sorry, bud, I think we're out.
Do you want to try some of this kind?
There you go.
- Oh, who put my mug on the top shelf?
Hon, you know I'm a shorty pants.
Oh!
Oh. - Holy smokes.
- Son of a bun. (sighs)
Can I get a little help here?
- Yeah.
(phone ringing)
Sorry.
Hello.
- I gotta brush my teeth.
- You should get those paperclippy things
for your planner, Mom.
- That's a good idea, Thomas.
I got this.
Why don't you go look for that assignment?
- Okay.
(gentle music)
(Michelle sighing)
(car sputtering)
- Oh no, no, no, no, no.
Not today.
Yes, please, please, please. (car sputtering)
Sheesh.
(upbeat music)
(James groaning)
(James groaning)
Car won't start.
I'm sorry, I'm gonna need a ride.
- Really?
Okay, let me just finish this thing.
- I am really going to hear it from Kinsella
about being late.
- I'm just gonna chop it all off.
Let's get going.
All right, time to load up.
Lunches are on the counter.
- I think you look really good.
- Oh really?
You think this looks really good?
- Yeah.
(slow music)
- (gasps) Landry. Dryer.
I will be so quick.
I'll meet you in the van.
Can you round up the kids?
- Yeah.
(upbeat music)
Hello.
Yes, I'd like to order a bouquet of flowers for delivery.
(upbeat music)
- [Sadie] Scoot.
- On the card I'd like it to read,
"I love you. Happy Anniversary, Michelle."
- [Thomas] I'm so hungry.
- No, Michelle.
- Why didn't you eat more breakfast?
- As in Michelle.
- Because we ran out of my favorite cereal.
- Hey, can you guys keep it down while I'm on this call?
Yes, deliver tomorrow please.
- I think I'm starving.
- Here you go, buddy.
- Thank you so much.
(phone ringing)
Hello.
- I look terrible.
- Join the club.
Right, so we'll drop Sadie off first-
- No, no, we aren't able to do that.
- Then Dad, then you, Thomas. - And even if we could
we'd have to follow-
- And I'm coming- - The standard build up
before trying to escalate that issue.
- To your class this afternoon, remember?
- I can't hear you, Mom.
- Look, I'm on my way.
I'll be there in-
- Do you really need to be on the phone right now?
- Yeah, sorry.
I'll be there in about 10 minutes.
Please just stall if you can.
Started already.
- Let's see, I drop everyone off,
and then I have Zumba, therapy,
oh, Thomas' class, then my online class.
I have so much going on today.
- Isn't that like every...
Maybe just cut back.
- Well, maybe it wouldn't be so bad
if I could just get some help.
- I don't mind helping out, Michelle.
- It's fine.
- What would you like me to do?
- It's fine.
I just wish you didn't work so much.
- Me too.
(phone ringing)
(students laughing)
- All right, first stop, Lady Sadie.
I need to finish my makeup.
You're driving.
- Okay.
- Go around. Go outside.
- It's too late.
There could be multiple issues to that problem.
Could you elaborate?
- Deer, rabbit, chicken, and a fox.
(gentle music)
- I actually feel sick.
I think I need to go home.
- Is this because you're embarrassed
to be wearing my outfit?
- No, I, I actually just don't feel well.
- Okay.
- She's not sick.
Sadie, it's time to go to school.
- She doesn't like her outfit.
- Oh, hold on a sec.
(horn honking)
Sadie, you look really great today, sweetheart.
(students laughing)
All righty, so.
(upbeat music)
- I don't think she liked that.
- Huh?
- Just go. - Okay.
Oh.
- I need mascara.
Where is my mascara?
Is it the starter or the battery?
I hope it's not the alternator.
- [James] I'm so tired of things not working.
- We'll just have to figure out the car situation later.
- Yeah.
- Hey, I won't be able to pick you up this afternoon
because of my online class.
- Okay, I'll ask Mike for a ride.
Thanks for dropping me off.
And sorry about this morning.
I gotta go, I'm really-
- Late. - Yeah.
(slow music)
(Michelle sighing)
- Yeah, I can help you install the software.
Would you like me to help you do that?
- Hey. You know what the emergency was?
- Hey, man, Kinsella just fired Tony, Casey,
and Jonathan in front of everyone.
- What? - Yeah.
Crankenstein's gone full savage mode today.
- Sheesh. Thanks for the heads up.
- Mm-hm.
Yeah, so if you scroll down to the bottom of the website
you'll see a button that reads "Download Software."
(upbeat music)
- All right, kiddo.
Oh, Thomas.
You were eating in the van.
Who gave you food?
- Dad did.
I was hungry.
- Oh. Stick out your tongue.
On there.
All right. Hands up.
I know it's cold. I'll make this quick.
Did you find your assignment?
- No.
- That's okay. I'll talk to your teacher.
Don't worry about it.
- Okay.
- Have a good day.
- Bye, Mom. - Bye.
(James exhaling)
(door knocking)
- Come in.
- Do you want me to sit? I'll stand.
I'm so sorry I missed the meeting this morning.
I was late getting out the door
and my car actually wouldn't start.
- 20 years ago when I was working
for my first startup company I made it a point
to always arrive 10 minutes early to work.
You see, it was vital to my character
to be on time and to be punctual.
But on one particular morning
I was also having trouble getting out the door.
Without me realizing it, my sweet cat, Mittens
followed me outside.
I was in such a rush that I backed right over him,
he died instantly, and I was heartbroken.
But do you know what I did?
- Um, no.
- I choked down my tears and I went straight to work.
I arrived precisely on time.
I don't care that your car wasn't working.
(dramatic music)
You were a half hour late today,
which is basically stealing.
If you plan on doing that again,
don't bother showing up at all.
- Understood.
I'm sorry.
- Did you know your ratings are down?
- I didn't know that.
- Yes, they are, by 5%.
Which means you'll be getting a pay cut of 5%.
And to make up for being late this morning,
you'll be taking Jonathan's place at the conference
because he's no longer with us.
You'll be flying out this evening.
- Oh, it's actually my anniversary tomorrow, so I-
- Celebrate another day.
(slow music)
You can go now.
- I'm here, I'm here.
Don't leave, Kayla.
- (sighs) You know, not everyone's schedule
revolves around you, Michelle.
- I'm sorry. (exhales)
I am so sorry for being late.
Everyone gets a free session today.
(class cheering) (class clapping)
Let's get started.
(upbeat music)
All right, let's start with two deep breaths.
Ready and. (breathes deeply)
Let it go.
Again, and. (inhales)
Get ready to step it out.
And step, step,
step, step.
Nice job, ladies.
Don't forget to check yourself out.
(upbeat music)
(phone ringing)
(Michelle groaning)
Hi, Kathy.
- I was just calling to make sure
you're coming in this morning.
- Yeah, 11, right?
- 10:30.
- Oh, I thought it was 11.
- If you're late, the appointment will need to be canceled
and you'll be charged a fee again.
- No, I'm on my way.
(upbeat music)
(Michelle sniffing)
Mm. Mm-mm.
(Michelle clears throat)
(upbeat music)
- Two people from two different backgrounds,
lifestyles, and perspectives
come into one home to become one.
Understanding each other becomes a lifelong task,
and over time you learn humility and wisdom
are the greatest tools that you can possess as a spouse.
- Oh, that all sounds lovely,
but he just doesn't have time for us anymore.
For example, last night he calls and says
that he's going to be out late with a friend.
There was no, "Is it all right?"
He just goes and does it.
And I'm left to take care of the kids
and everything else around the house.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure
he's forgotten about our anniversary.
- And that does upset you?
- Well, yeah.
I mean, I don't know how we went
from being this adventurous, happy couple
that wanted to travel the world with our kids
to barely speaking to one another.
- Do you think that maybe you've created
a busy schedule for yourself in order to cope with the fact
that you feel James isn't around
to support you physically and emotionally?
- Maybe.
- Aside from wanting James around more,
what else do you want to change about the relationship?
(gentle music)
- I want that spark back.
I can't remember the last time he just held me
or gave me really good eye contact.
You know, the kind where he's staring into your eyes
but it doesn't feel like it's too much.
And then he says, "I love you," and he means it.
I don't know.
I, I just feel like he's checked out.
And even though I'm really busy, I also feel really alone.
- Oh, and last night Aubrey acted like nothing had happened.
I just don't understand how someone
could be so cold about it.
Are you okay?
- Ah, yeah, sorry, I was just lost in thought.
- What's going on?
- I don't know how I'm going to tell Michelle
I won't be around for our anniversary.
- Oh, that's tomorrow?
Good luck with that.
How long you two been together for again?
- 13 years.
- (laughs) Hey, congrats. Yeah.
- Thanks.
Oh, sorry.
- Oh, no, no, you know,
I'm happy it's going well for you two.
- Yeah.
You know, things aren't perfect with me and Michelle.
This job has been really hard on my family.
I just keep thinking if I stick around long enough
things will get better, I'll get paid more
or get to work less hours down the road.
- Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
Not with Kinsella running the show.
This job doesn't care about you.
They only pay you enough to kill your dreams.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, Thomas.
I am so sorry for being late.
- It's all right.
I'm just happy you're here.
Hey, are you computer savvy?
I can't seem to get this software
to work the way it's supposed to,
and everyone here seems to have the same problem.
- Oh.
My husband would know how to fix this.
Unfortunately I struggle with computers.
- You and me both.
Ah, hey, could you pass those papers out to the kids?
- You got it.
Oh, and Thomas lost his assignment from yesterday.
I'm so sorry.
I will be sure to help him
to keep better track of that kind of stuff.
And if there's anything he can do to make it up,
just let me know.
- Okay, I will.
Okay, pop quiz, hotshots.
(children groaning)
(upbeat music)
- [Instructor] I'd like to open up the discussion
on risk management and investments.
(phone dinging)
Rick management involves identifying, analyzing-
- [Michelle] "Hey.
"Just got off the phone with Jenny.
"She's really struggling with her newborn.
"Is it too much to ask if you could cook her dinner tonight?
"I am planning on bringing her a meal tomorrow."
Mm-hm.
(upbeat music) (instructor talking)
- [Instructor] Risk is inseparable from return.
Every investment involves some degree of risk.
(upbeat music) (instructor talking)
- Mm, that's good cheese.
(upbeat music) (instructor talking)
- [Instructor] Just a reminder
that there will be a test tomorrow.
- Got it.
Whoo.
Oh.
- [James] Thanks for the ride.
- Don't worry about it.
I wish we would have been on the same flight.
Could have rode together to the airport.
- It's okay.
Michelle will take me.
- See you there, man. (laughs)
(James sighing)
- Holy smokes.
(slow dramatic music)
Michelle. Hon, you home?
Got some time.
(upbeat music)
- I am so sorry about the mess.
The Cowleys down the street, they needed a meal.
I will finish that. (door thudding)
- [James] It's no big deal.
- [Michelle] Hi, Sadie.
How was your day?
- I don't want to talk about it.
- (sighs) She never wants to talk about it.
- Don't slam the door. (door slamming)
What's for dinner?
- Well, the meal that I had planned is-
- Hey, buddy.
How was your day?
- Fine.
- The meal I had planned is getting eaten by the Cowleys.
So I was thinking that we could do pizza tonight.
The kids would love it.
- Sure. Pizza sounds great.
- Great.
(phone buzzing)
Hello.
Yes, this is she.
Sadie did what?
(door knocking)
Sadie.
Sadie, I just got off the phone with your school
and they said that you skipped a class today.
I'd like to talk about it with you.
(slow music)
Hey, hey, can you help me with this?
- Sadie.
Sadie, open this door or we will take it off by the hinges.
I'm just kidding.
I respect your privacy.
(phone ringing)
I'm sorry.
Hello.
- Sadie, I want to help, but I can't
if you don't tell me what's going on.
- Mom, I really don't want to talk about it right now.
- Okay.
(doorbell ringing)
Food's here if you want any.
- What's up, little man?
- Mom, Dad, pizza.
- Oh, one second.
All right, what do I owe ya?
- 50 bucks.
- Holy smokes.
What does it come with, caviar?
- No, but it's a good thing you got the anniversary special
or else it would have been 65 bucks.
- Thanks.
- Appreciate it, my dude, and happy anniversary.
- Bye.
What's an anniversary?
- Well, it means the date
of when something important took place.
For your mom and I, it's the date of our wedding,
which is tomorrow.
We're celebrating 13 years of being married.
- 13th wedding anniversary on the 13th.
- Hey, you're right, 13th on the 13th.
Huh, how about that?
- Thanks for the anniversary pizza.
- You're welcome, kiddo.
- It's your guys' anniversary?
- Tomorrow it is.
- Are you doing anything?
- I don't know.
Are we?
- Because I was late today,
I now have to go to the work conference in Denver,
and the flight leaves tonight.
So I'll be out of town for our anniversary.
(slow music) - Okay.
- And I actually need a ride to the airport.
I wasn't supposed to go but Kinsella was on one today-
- [Michelle] And you're just now telling me?
- Well I just found out.
- You mean you found out this morning?
- Yes, but things were so busy at work
I didn't have time to call.
- [Michelle] (sighs) You never have time.
- I'm gonna do some homework.
Thanks for dinner.
- Yeah, thanks for dinner.
Can I watch a show?
- Did you do your make-up assignment from yesterday
and the one from today?
Okay, bring it here. I'll help you with it.
And if you finish it in time, you can watch one episode.
- Okay.
(slow music)
- I'm gonna go pack.
(leaves rustling)
(door knocking)
- Good news.
You won't have to wear my clothes tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, I just looked at my planner
and it says that I'm coming to your home economics class.
Gonna drop some mom knowledge. (laughs)
You excited?
- Sure.
- (sighs) So what happened at school today?
It's not like you to skip a class.
Did something happen with a friend?
Or that cute boy you like?
- Stop. - What?
I'm just trying to be a good mom.
- Then just, not right now.
(slow music)
- Okay.
(Sadie sighing)
Can't you just Uber to the airport?
- Can't afford it.
- It's only like 30 bucks.
- Dinner was 50.
We didn't have that to spare.
- Where is all our money going?
Also, why can't the Grim, Kinsella
cover the cost of an Uber?
It's a business trip.
Let the company pay for it.
- She doesn't see it that way.
- Why do you let her walk all over you?
- I, she's my boss, Michelle.
You don't understand.
- I understand that you're never around,
including on our anniversary,
which I'm pretty sure you forgot about
until I ordered the anniversary pizza to remind you.
- I did remember and I got you something
that'll be arriving tomorrow.
Besides, I'm not the only one who's not around.
You are constantly running from one thing to another.
I mean, look at your planner.
- Okay, I think it's you who doesn't understand me.
- Then help me understand you.
(door creaking)
- Mom, can you tuck me in?
- Sure, kiddo.
Gonna put this one to bed.
Let me know when you're ready to leave.
(James sighing)
And so the little dragon was grateful
to all the orphans for saving Christmas.
The end.
(gentle music)
You sure you're going to be all right
while I take your dad to the airport?
- Mm-hm.
Mom. - Hm?
- Are you and Dad okay?
- We're gonna be.
(slow music)
I hate that the kids heard us arguing.
- I don't like it either.
- I miss us.
- Me too.
- Money just always seems to be tight
and you're always on calls, and-
- Michelle, you have your own version of that.
The amount of things
that you cram into one day is way too much.
- Well, someone has to run the house
and take care of the kids since you're never around.
- I would love to stay home and take care of the kids.
And it's not just that.
It's the Zumba, the volunteering at the kids' schools,
the online classes, the cooking meals for all the neighbors.
You're overdoing it.
You need to learn when to say no.
- Well maybe I could say no if you were around.
Besides that, helping people in need feels good to me,
and I enjoy teaching Zumba,
and I'm trying to earn my degree
so we can have a proper double income
since your boss refuses to give you a raise.
- Kinsella actually decreased my salary by 5% today.
- Wow, James, you have got to stand up for yourself.
You are worth more than-
- Okay, Michelle, you wouldn't last one day at the office.
Trust me.
- Well you wouldn't last a day in my shoes either.
- I guess we'll never truly understand each other, will we?
- I guess not.
Let me know when you land safely.
- I will. It'll be around nine.
I'll text you.
- Love you.
- [James] Love you, too.
Can you open the trunk please?
- Yes.
(door thudding)
(slow music) (horns honking)
- [Both] If you only knew.
(thunder rumbling) (wind howling)
(dramatic music)
(wind whistling)
(thunder rumbling) (rain pattering)
(James snoring)
(thunder rumbling) (rain pattering)
(lightning crackling)
(birds chirping)
(Michelle groaning)
- Mom, we're late.
- Go tell your mother.
- What?
(gentle music)
- What is on me?
- Um, your hair.
(Michelle groaning)
(dramatic music)
Holy smokes.
(slow music)
- Um, Mom, are you okay?
- I'll be out in a second.
Can you get breakfast going?
- Um, I guess.
I don't know how to make anything.
Are you sure you're okay?
You're acting so weird.
- I'm fine.
It's just that time of the month again.
Let's do cereal. (groans)
I should call Michelle.
I'm Michelle.
(phone ringing)
- Hello.
- Ah, Michelle. - Yeah.
(slow music)
Wait? Who is this?
- Your husband. (groans)
Hello? Hello?
Michelle, can you hear me?
(dramatic music)
Hello?
- What is happening?
(James groaning)
Ah, son of a bun, that really does hurt.
- Are you okay?
- I'm gonna puke.
I'm gonna puke.
- I'm you.
Are you me?
- Yeah.
I don't understand.
How?
(Michelle groaning)
(James sniffing)
Oh, hon, you smell really bad.
- I didn't have time to shower last night.
It was a long day.
- What do we do?
- I don't know.
But (groans) why?
Why are periods so painful?
- It's not that big of a deal.
Just take a couple of painkillers and you'll be fine.
Just get the kids to school and then we'll figure this out.
(Michelle groaning)
Oh wow, facial hair feels so weird.
- Okay, okay, we don't tell the kids, right?
- Oh absolutely not.
We're not going to tell anyone.
- Maybe, maybe I'm going crazy.
Maybe this is all in my head.
- I know I'm not crazy.
I'm just trapped in my husband's body,
which I know sounds crazy, but here I am,
six foot something with stubble, triceps, and a...
(doorbell ringing)
Someone's at the door.
- It's probably Mike.
Just be cool.
- Okay.
Who is it?
- Ah, sheesh.
- It's Mike.
We've got 10 minutes.
- Thank you so much.
I'll be ready soon.
- [Mike] Cool.
- Okay, we can do this.
Do you have eyes on my planner?
- Yeah.
- Great, it has everything you need to know for the day.
Just get ready and take the kids to school.
- Okay.
- And keep your, I mean, keep my phone on you please.
- Same.
- Okay, all right.
Oh, I'm a Sasquatch.
(Michelle groaning)
(quirky music)
- Mom, we're like really late.
- Even more late than yesterday.
- Let's get going then.
- I'm still in my PJs.
- We don't have our lunches.
- What does Mom...
I mean, could you remind me
what I usually make you for lunch?
- PB and J, fruit snacks, juice box.
- Ham sandwich, chips, apples.
Oh, you know what, I'll just make it myself.
- No, no, I got it.
Thomas, why don't you pick out your own outfit today?
- You don't usually like what I pick out.
- I trust you, buddy.
(quirky music)
- Mom's lost it.
- [Thomas] Yep.
(upbeat music)
- How's it going?
- Good, really good.
I don't think the kids suspect a thing.
I'm just working on their lunches.
- Go you. I'm so proud.
I'm just showering off real quick
and then I'm gonna book the soonest flight home.
- What? No.
No, don't do that.
- James, we are in a serious crisis right now.
I can't be here.
We have to get back to the same place
so we can figure out how to switch back into our own bodies.
- No, no, please do not book that flight.
I need to be, you as me needs to be at that conference.
If you come home now, I will lose my job.
We just need to make it through the next 48 hours
and then I promise we will figure this out together.
- [James] Okay, fine, but what do I do in the meantime?
- Stay close to Mike.
Follow his lead.
Think what I would do in that situation and then do that.
- Great.
- Kids are coming back, I gotta go.
- Did you understand everything written in the planner?
Hello? James?
- Mom.
- Let's get going.
- Aren't you going to do Thomas' hair?
- Your hair looks good, buddy.
(upbeat music)
Ah, sheesh, where's the phone?
Where'd it go?
I'm coming. I'm coming
And I think I might be losing my mind
Going crazy, yeah
With my big old muscles I keep running into things
(slow music) (horns honking)
(door knocking)
- We gotta go, man.
- Ah! What are you doing?
Get out.
- What?
You gave me a spare key last night
just in case you're running late, and which you are.
- I just don't want you to see me right now.
I'm not modest.
- (laughs) Okay, you got me.
What movie are you quoting right now?
Is it a Western?
It's gotta be a Western.
- I just need to get my clothes on real quick, bro.
- What is it from?
- It's not from a movie. - No, no, no, don't tell me.
I know I can get it.
I can get it.
- Please just leave.
- (laughs) All right, but look,
seriously, we gotta go, okay?
- Okay.
Give me a hint. - Son of a bun!
- (laughs) You're a funny guy, James.
- Holy smokes, she's tiny.
(upbeat music)
- [Sadie] Mom, you're going the wrong way.
- Sheesh, get up here.
Tell me where to go.
(bell ringing)
I'm sorry I got all turned around.
- Only missed my first class.
Are you still coming to Home Ec today?
- Huh?
Oh, oh.
Yes, I will be there doing what I said I would.
Looks like 2:00 p.m. today.
Have a great day.
(sighs) Have a great day.
- Mom, I forgot my assignment.
- Buddy, we can't go back for it.
Homework doesn't really matter in elementary school anyway.
- Really?
- How do I get to your school from here?
Navigate to nearest elementary school.
(phone ringing)
- Hi.
- [Michelle] Just checking in.
How's it going?
- Good.
Mike and I are just heading into this thing right now.
Kids at school?
- [Michelle] Almost.
Just dropping off Thomas.
Remember, follow Mike's lead.
- Easy peasy.
Oh.
- Is this the right school?
- I think so.
- Like your outfit, buddy.
Bye. - Bye.
- Software implementation refers to integrating
and adopting software into business workflows.
It allows companies to access the latest technologies
and help the employees to increase their productivity levels
and produce good quality work.
Speaking of productivity, how many programmers
does it take to change a lightbulb?
None, it's a hardware program.
(group chuckling)
- You're doing great.
- Thank you.
Anyone, our insightfully designed-
(phone buzzing)
software implementation project plan
helps provide the implementation of new applications
and user-friendly experience to your customers-
- I can't believe she's doing this.
- Oh, I know.
- [Presenter] Due to the lack
of effective software solutions,
gap analysis, key attributes-
- Hi. I'm obsessed with your outfit.
- [Presenter] It represents-
(quirky music)
how an effective software solution helps organizations
reduce administrational and operational expenses,
decrease project risks.
(upbeat music)
- No, no, no.
(tires squealing)
Zumba at nine.
Grocery shopping.
Clean the house.
Online class at one.
Sadie's school at two.
Hm, not one mention of our anniversary.
And she was giving me a hard time. Sheesh.
(class chattering)
- Oh, look who's on time for once.
What's the special occasion?
- I'm just going to get the music started.
(upbeat music)
All right, time to work out now.
- What is happening?
(upbeat music)
- Cramps! (groans)
I don't think I can do the class today.
I started my period.
(class chattering)
- Guys, it's not that big of a deal.
- Kayla, not all cramps are equal.
- Yeah, my sister's endo and she can't get off
the bathroom floor for the first three days.
- Okay, fine.
Well, I do the moves better anyway, so let's do this.
- Oh, oh, oh. (groans)
(Michelle breathing heavily)
(phone ringing)
Hello.
- [Thomas] Hi, Mommy.
- Hey, buddy, why are you calling?
- [Thomas] You dropped me off at the wrong school.
(slow dramatic music) (Michelle sighing)
- I'm sorry, bud.
I don't know what's wrong with Mommy today.
- It's okay.
They had a cool playground.
(tires squealing)
(gentle music)
- I spoke to the office.
They know you're coming.
- Here I go.
- Have a great day, buddy.
- Why do you keep calling me buddy?
You never call me that.
- I don't?
What do I usually say?
- Um, my name mostly.
Sometimes kiddo.
I don't mind.
It just reminds me of Dad, that's all.
(gentle music)
(upbeat music)
- Okay, test time.
You've got this.
I don't got this.
- We'll have different phases of implementation
and we've taken into account any problems that may arise.
(phone buzzing)
You'll have until the end of the year
until you are meant to implement the new updates
and the old system will no longer be in use.
(phone beeping)
- Oh.
How about this one?
(phone buzzing)
(phone beeping)
Ha! This is working out nicely.
- Hey, what are you doing?
Kinsella's watching.
- Is there something more important than this meeting?
- I'm so sorry.
It's just my hus, my wife had some questions for me.
- Are they life or death questions?
- No, but they have to do with some work
that I only know the answers to.
- You work for me, not her.
Moving on.
(quirky music)
- Okay, time to start guessing.
I'm so, so sorry.
Mm, A, B, C.
Okay, on to the next thing.
(Michelle groaning)
Clean house.
I got this.
(vacuum humming)
(Michelle snoring)
(phone chiming)
Sadie.
- All right, so once everyone has tried
one of Jeffrey's burned cookies,
then we can move on to the next part of class today.
Oh, Mrs. Edwards.
Thank you so much for coming.
I could really use a break.
Class, this is Sadie's mom, Mrs Edwards.
She's a full-time stay-at-home mother.
I know, rare these days.
She's gonna answer any questions you guys might have
about being a mother, and anything else that you have, so.
(quirky music)
- Hi, I'm Michelle.
I'm a mom.
Any questions?
(student coughing)
- Um, I have a question.
What, what's a typical day for you?
- (laughs) Oh man.
Check this out.
This is my planner.
And here is what today looks like.
And it's like this every single day
with slight variations of the same chaotic thing.
I wake up, get the kids fed,
make their lunches, take them to school,
teach Zumba, grocery shop,
get a call from one of my kids
that I dropped them off at the wrong school.
So I go and I take him to the right school.
Don't forget about your online class
because you want to earn that degree
you never finished when you were in college.
Oh, and clean the house.
And volunteer here and volunteer there.
And I just, I feel like I'm needed
by everyone else around me,
and I wish that I could just get a little help.
(gentle music)
If I'm being honest, it's a really hard and thankless job.
And I'm having an off day.
I could use another nap.
But normally I'm a really great mom,
despite getting little to no help most days.
You know what does help though?
A planner.
- Mom, wait up.
Can I get a ride home with you?
- Sure.
- Later, Sadie.
- See ya.
Aren't you gonna ask me about the boy?
- What boy?
- You're always asking me which boys I like,
and the cutest boy in school talks to me
right in front of you and you don't say a thing?
- I figured if you wanted to tell me about him, you would.
Did you want to tell me-
- Not right now.
(phone ringing)
- Hello.
- [Mrs Oiler] Mrs Edwards.
Hey, this is Mrs Oiler.
Uh, Thomas was missing his assignment again today.
He's falling behind and needs to be turning in his homework
like the rest of the students.
- I'm sorry, I'll be sure that he turns it in tomorrow.
- [Mrs Oiler] Thank you. Take care.
- Homework matters in second grade?
- What an awful day.
- We've had worse.
- We have?
- Oh yeah.
- Oh, I can't believe
I complimented the Grim Reaper's outfit.
- (laughs) Grim Reaper, that was funny.
So yeah, I didn't know you were so into fashion.
You okay?
'Cause, you know, you've been acting different.
- Yeah, I'm good, I'm good.
I'm just worried about things back home.
- Um, I'm sorry.
Hey, thanks for being there for me the other night.
Aubrey asked me for a divorce.
It meant a lot having you around.
- Oh, yeah, of course.
I'm glad I could be there when you needed me.
You're my best buddy.
- Best buddy?
- I mean, you know what I mean.
- What's your secret?
- I don't...
What do you mean?
- I've never heard you complain
about you and Michelle's relationship ever.
- Wait, never?
Like never, never ever, ever, ever?
- Nah, the closest you got was when you told me yesterday
this job's getting hard on your family.
- That's it? - That's it.
- Wow, I'm impressed.
- (laughs) Me too.
- Dig in.
(doorbell ringing)
- [Sadie] Those from Dad?
- Yeah.
- Did you get anything for Dad?
- I don't think so.
This hasn't been our best anniversary.
- Has there ever been a good one?
- Well, there was one year that your, I planned
a really cool rockhounding trip to New Mexico for your dad.
- What's rockhounding?
- It's when you go looking for rocks.
- For fun?
- Yeah.
Have I never told you how much I,
your dad loves rocks and fossils?
I mean, I love them too, but not as much as your dad.
- Really?
What kind of rocks did you find?
- That trip? Moonstone.
(gentle music) You know what?
I think we still have them.
All right, check these out.
Pretty awesome, right?
- These are really cool.
- Wow.
- When we found these,
we felt like we had discovered buried treasure.
I remember saying something cheesy like,
"Being with you is better than finding moonstone."
- So how did you guys fall in love?
- Uh, we met in a geology class in college.
- Geology?
- More rock stuff.
- Your, I, I was taking it for fun.
And well, your dad, he actually used to be a geology major
before he realized he couldn't pay the bills that way.
- Dad wanted to be a geologist?
- Yeah, for a time.
- But how did you fall in love?
- Well, we would go on all these outdoor adventures,
camping, hiking, rockhounding.
And it was somewhere between all that adventuring
that I realized I wanted to keep doing that
with this incredible person for the rest of my life.
- Why don't you take us on adventures?
- Yeah, for real, Mom.
It sounds pretty fun.
- We wanted to.
We used to talk about it all the time.
Then life happened.
(both sighing)
- I don't know how he does it.
- I don't know how she does it.
(gentle music)
(phone ringing)
- Hey, just about to call you.
Happy anniversary.
- Happy anniversary.
Your flowers arrived tonight.
- Oh you got me flowers?
- Yeah, they weren't great.
- Well, you did better than me.
I didn't get you anything,
on purpose because I was hurt.
- I deserved it.
I'm sorry.
I can do better.
I'm going to do better, Michelle.
- Okay.
- Just gotta make it through one more day.
- And then I can come home.
- How'd the conference go?
- Oh, fine.
Your boss is horrible.
- I know.
- [James] How about you?
- Ah, I really botched my way through it, but survived.
Dinner with the kids was nice.
- Really? - Yeah.
I told them about how we met.
- Oh, I wish I could have been there.
- Me too.
It would have been nice to share that story
in our own bodies.
Michelle, I, I can't go back to that Zumba class.
It was really bad.
I ran out.
- You ran out?
Did you blame it on my period?
- Yeah, actually I did.
- Okay, good.
I'm gonna FaceTime you right now.
- What? Why?
- It's time for you to learn some Zumba.
Oh, oh, sweetie, did you wear that all day?
- Yeah, it's comfortable.
- Okay, after Zumba lessons
I'm going to pick out your outfit for tomorrow.
So we're gonna fly. Are you ready?
(upbeat music)
We're going to start on this leg, okay?
Ready, go.
Step, step, step it out.
Step, step, step it out, and switch.
Step, step, step it out.
Yes! So good, sweetie, so good.
Just remember though, the hips, okay?
So this is what we're gonna do.
So sit into this, okay?
Let's just hang out like this for 10 minutes, all right?
Patrick Swayze.
You got it. Oh yeah.
(phone buzzing)
(wall thudding) - Ow.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music)
- Thanks, Mom. - Thanks, Mom.
- This new update will make everything more efficient,
which will inevitably improve the customer's experience.
(James yawning)
James, why don't you explain our new update to our clients?
(slow music)
- Yes, I would be honored.
I'm so sorry.
- Good luck.
- This new update is going to make everything better.
It's really gonna make you ready for more.
And ready for more.
Okay, we don't need to read all that.
Or that.
You know what, let's mix things up.
I personally love getting into different learning styles.
And how boring is it to just listen
to someone explain things to a room?
You guys are probably so bored listening to me, right?
- Kinda.
- See, thank you for your honesty, ma'am.
So which of you has had a chance
to look over the new update?
Oh, perfect, perfect.
Let's role-play.
Come on up.
Yes, let's role-play.
Let's just pretend that I am a, a stay-at-home mom
who has zero interest or experience with IT.
And I mean, I know nothing about technology.
For example, for years I thought the cloud
was an actual cloud kept in a warehouse in San Francisco.
So what I need you to do, come here,
yes, watch your step.
So what I need you to do is explain to me,
the housewife, what the update is
and how it will improve my customer experience.
Go.
- Well, when I first looked at the pilot implementation-
- Oh, I'm sorry, pilot pimple whaty?
- Implementation.
(group chuckling)
- Okay, continue.
- So, do you think she'll be on time today?
(upbeat music) (singer vocalizing)
- Yeah, I took something.
All right, let's do this.
Side step it out.
(singer vocalizing)
I'm going to do something with my arms soon.
Just watch me, gonna start this way.
Makes me feel all right - Nine, eight, 10, 11.
(singer vocalizing)
Good.
Two hands now. Nice.
Gonna grapevine this way.
Clap your hands.
Yeah, other way, good job.
We having fun?
(class cheering)
Me too.
(clock ticking)
- That is a cute outfit.
- Oh, thank you.
My, I picked it out myself.
- I picked mine out myself too.
So, do you have a jumping off point for today?
- I, no.
Everything's good.
- Really? - Yeah.
- So your feelings have changed then?
- No, no, what I said last time is still valid.
- Ah, so you're still thinking about a divorce then?
(melancholy music)
- Divorce?
- That's where we ended our last session
and why you asked to see me again so soon.
I wrote down that you felt disconnected from James
and that ultimately you felt that he no longer loved you.
- But that's not true.
Why would she say?
- [Kathy] Excuse me?
- I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time
wrapping my head around...
Divorce?
- [Kathy] No, I understand.
Take your time.
There are a lot of different emotions
that come up with this topic.
(melancholy music)
(Michelle sighing)
(phone buzzing)
- Hello.
I'm be right there.
(Michelle exhaling)
(Sadie sobbing) (slow music)
- I thought he liked me too.
I feel so lame.
- What? Who?
- Russell. - Oh.
Who's Russell?
- The cute boy you're always asking me about.
- Oh. Did he hurt you?
- No.
I mean, talking about all the romantic things
you and Dad used to do, and I thought
maybe I should put myself out there, you know
and I, I took one of your moonstones,
I'm sorry, but I gave it to him.
And he hated it.
- Did he say that?
- No, he didn't say anything.
He just stared at it.
And then I ran away.
- Sadie, I'm, I'm not mad about the moonstone.
But you can't come home early from school
because you think a boy didn't like the gift you gave him.
(Sadie sobbing)
(Michelle sighing)
Sadie. - What?
- [Michelle] Please don't slam the door.
- [Thomas] Hi, Mom.
- Hey, buddy.
- Teacher told me to give you this.
- The teacher said you turned in a blank assignment today.
Why didn't you do it?
- I didn't know how.
You usually help me.
(slow music)
- Why do second graders even have homework?
(phone dinging)
- I'm so glad that's all over and done with.
- Tell me about it.
- Well I'd say you went above and beyond
to underperform, James.
Where do you think you went wrong in the last two days?
- Why don't you just tell me so that I can fix it?
- No, that's not how this works.
Why don't you put in some effort and think
why I would be so close to firing you right now?
- Honestly, I had no idea what was going on.
The last two days have felt like a huge waste of my time.
I could have accomplished 100 different things
from yesterday morning up until right now.
Also a 5% decrease in my salary.
Are you kidding me?
What boss thinks that's ever gonna make
any of their employees work harder for them?
So if you're gonna fire me,
just go ahead and do it already, Grim Reaper.
- Don't you say a word.
(door knocking) (slow music)
- [Michelle] Sadie, can we talk?
- Mm. - Is that a yes?
- Mm-hm.
(gentle music)
- I'm sorry about earlier.
I know I didn't handle that like a parent should.
- I really like him.
- Yeah?
- I just feel like I keep messing up around him.
It's why I skipped Home Ec.
It's the only class we have together
and I heard some of the popular girls
saying things about my outfit.
So I didn't go.
I hid in the bathroom.
He probably thinks I'm so lame.
- I doubt that, but I understand the feeling,
the messing up part.
- Really? - Yeah.
I feel like I've let your Dad down the last few days.
And if I'm being honest, longer than that.
- (sighs) What should we do?
- Hm. What do you think I should do?
- I think you should talk to him, tell him how you feel.
Say sorry for the things you did wrong.
- That's good advice.
- What should I do?
- You should talk to him, tell him how you feel.
- (clears throat) Can we watch a show?
- I'm down.
Sadie?
- Sure.
- [Thomas] Yes!
- You know what, thanks for saying
what we all wish we could say.
You're a legend.
- I don't know how I'm gonna tell Michelle.
- Ah, come on, you're not completely fired yet.
Besides, I think you I both know
you've been wanting this for years now.
All right?
Take care, buddy.
- Oh.
- (laughs) I'm sure we'll be seeing
each other around regardless.
Even if you don't have a job.
- Goodnight.
Oh, and if you ever need anything like a home-cooked meal,
or some bro time with me, you got it.
- I appreciate that.
(gentle music)
- Goodnight, Michael.
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
(birds chirping)
Oh nuts.
- You're home.
- I'm so glad to be back.
You're still me though.
- Yeah.
- What if we kiss?
- Ah, that's a little cliche.
- Hey, it might work.
- All right. (clears throat)
Kissing me is weird.
- It wasn't so bad for me.
My face is softer.
- Yeah.
How'd the rest of the conference go?
- Fine.
I really let Kinsella have it.
And I'm so sorry, sweetie,
but I don't think you have a job anymore.
What you deal with is really hard.
And I try to think the best of people,
but I think she's legitimately a demon.
And I could never do that day in and day out.
And I will go in and grovel at her feet if that-
- I don't care.
I mean, I definitely need a job.
But I've never seen you lose it on anyone.
So she must have been extra cruel-ella.
(James laughing)
Besides, I failed your test.
- Me losing your job and failing a test for my online class
are not the same thing.
- Yeah, but Thomas is falling behind in school
because I forgot to help him with a couple of assignments.
- That's okay.
We'll go talk to his teacher.
I'll go with you and we'll see how we can make up for it.
- Michelle, there's one other thing
I want to talk to you about.
(footsteps thudding)
- Mom, can you help me pick out an outfit?
- Of course, kiddo. (upbeat music)
Oh, I missed you.
- Is it all right if your dad helps you out today?
- Yep.
- I'm gonna get started on breakfast.
- Great, let's go, kiddo.
Ooh, good morning, Lady Sadie.
Oh, I missed you.
How was school the last few days?
How's the cute boy?
- Ah, it's been okay.
Mom and I already talked about it.
- Oh, and what did she say?
- She said I can't just run away from my problems
and that I should communicate instead.
- Really?
And that didn't bother you at all?
- Well, it bugged me at first.
But then after talking about it more, it made sense.
- And, and how did she get you to talk about it?
- I don't know.
I think she finally stopped asking me so many questions
and let me decide when I was ready to talk.
- Huh.
- Can I go now? - Yeah.
(Michelle vocalizing)
Sweetie, making waffles?
My favorite.
- Hey, they're Mom's favorite too.
- I know, that's why I'm making them.
These are almost done.
You can take some time to get ready if you like.
I got this.
- Okay.
Hey, love that color.
- Mom, I thought of a really good way
to fix things with Dad.
- Really?
- I want to help too.
- [Michelle] Let's huddle up.
- This is so much easier.
(phone dinging)
(gentle music)
- Then we have flowers everywhere.
- Yes. - That type of thing.
- Yeah.
- What am I not being included in?
- Nothing.
- Okay, but I'll find out.
- Waffles are ready.
- Kids, why don't you dish up?
I need to speak with your mother really quick.
(gentle music)
I got this text from Kinsella this morning.
- Okay.
- Okay? - Yeah, okay.
- Okay, you're fine?
Okay, you're mad at me?
Okay, what?
- I'm fine.
If anything, I'm relieved,
because I still don't know how to fix it.
This way I can think about and I can just spend
the rest of the day with you and the kids.
- Okay.
I'm so sorry, sweetie.
- It's okay.
We can figure it out.
I want us to figure it out.
(students laughing)
- Have a great day, sweetheart.
- Thanks, Dad.
I'm excited for tonight.
- Me too.
- What was that all about?
- Nothing.
- Oh wait, it's cute boy.
- Hey. - Russell.
- Oh hey.
- [Sadie] I like your jacket.
- [Russell] That color looks good on you too.
(upbeat music)
(Sadie laughing)
- Wow, I feel like a lot happened while I was gone.
- Oh yeah, Mom dropped me off at the wrong school.
- What?
- I got him to the right one, eventually.
(students talking)
Bye, buddy.
- Have a great day, kiddo.
We're going to meet with your teacher after school
so you can ride with us
instead of walking home if you like.
- Okay.
- Zumba's next.
- Oh, how about I come with?
- Good, I was hoping you'd say that.
(upbeat music)
- Up, and up, and up.
Yes.
And a shimmy, shimmy.
Shimmy.
Around the world.
Show those hips, ladies.
And a big strong finish.
There we go.
All right, ladies. (claps)
(class applauding)
Great session.
We'll see you next time.
- That's great.
- That was so fun, Michelle. Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Seriously, you can bring your man anytime.
- Hey, I like that you were on time today.
- Turning over a new leaf, Kayla.
- I was thinking we could grab a bit to eat before therapy.
- Oh, is that today?
- Yeah, I scheduled another appointment
after yesterday's session for the both of us.
I hope that's okay.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Are you sure we can't tell anyone about this,
not even your therapist?
- Sweetie, we would be declared insane
and lose custody of the kids,
or be forced into getting a lobotomy or something.
- No, they don't do that anymore, hun.
- This sort of thing, it doesn't happen in real life.
- Okay, I just don't know
that I can pretend to be you in this session.
We won't get anything useful out of it
if we're pretending to be the other person.
- Oh, I know what to do.
So we're trying this new trendy couples exercise
where we pretend to be the other person
to try and gain insight on where they're coming from.
So I'm pretending to be Michelle
and Michelle is pretending to be me.
- Interesting.
So I respond to you as if you are Michelle
and Michelle is you.
- Exactly.
- Okay, I'll play.
James, how about you start?
(slow music)
- I didn't know things had gotten so bad.
Why didn't you tell me?
- I thought you were too busy.
- Michelle, I want you to go a little bit deeper.
Okay, what's behind the statement,
"I thought you were too busy?"
- I was scared. - Of what?
- That you no longer loved me.
- I've always loved you.
I'm sorry if I haven't shown it the way that I should have
the last several years.
- No, I'm sorry that I didn't communicate my needs sooner.
You work so hard for our family.
And to be honest, that wasn't crystal clear to me
until this week.
You're right, I do too much,
and I was doing that to avoid how I was really feeling.
Because I felt like if I wasn't doing everything
around the house and for the kids, you would love me less.
Which I know sounds silly, but I get it now
and I'm sorry that it took me so long.
- Michelle, I am just as responsible
for taking care of things around the house
and with our kids, as much as you are.
We're a partnership.
And I'm sorry if I made you feel
like you had to shoulder it all.
I don't know how you get it all done in a day.
I mean, I know it's partially due to-
- [Both] The planner.
- But you're my superhero.
And I was letting work cut me off
from what really matters to me.
It's you and the kids.
- Wow, you two are really good at that.
What technique is this called?
I might suggest it to some of my other clients.
- What's it called? Um.
It's called body swapping. - Mm-hm.
- [Kathy] Mm.
(bell ringing) (children talking)
- Hey, buddy, you want to wait for us
so we can give you a ride home?
- Nah, Sadie and I need to work on something.
I can walk.
Bye. - Bye.
- Bye.
Work on something with Sadie?
You know what that's about?
- No.
- It's our fault. We're sorry.
Some big changes have taken place.
But we're embracing them and we're gonna be more present.
- What can we do right now to make it up?
- Uh, well, let's see what we can do.
(computer beeping)
(groans) Uh, this program never works.
Oh, I remember you said your husband
was good with that kind of thing.
Would you mind taking a look?
(slow quirky music)
- Yeah, let me take a look.
Sometimes the cookies can get burnt, so-
- Hon, mind if I- - Mm-hm.
- Try? - Yeah.
- He's been teaching me some easy fixes
and I'm really wanting to put my skills to the test.
- Quick learner.
(computer dinging)
- All right, should be good to go.
- Wow, you must be a great teacher.
You fixed that in no time.
- Thank you.
- You should come work for us.
(James laughing)
- That actually sounds great.
Is the school hiring?
- Last I heard, yes,
an IT system administrator, to be exact.
And I think it's only needed during school hours.
- When do they want the position filled?
- As soon as possible.
The principal is still here.
Do you want to go talk to him?
- Oh no, I have to retake that test by six
and it's already 5:30.
The kids must be starving.
- I got it.
- You do? - Yeah.
In fact, I can't let you see what's going on inside.
So gonna have to blindfold you.
(gentle music)
May I? - Okay.
- Can you bend your knees?
Thank you.
- For sure.
- Right.
Here we go.
First step coming up.
I'm going to guide you upstairs
where your online test awaits.
No coming out until we're done.
- What is going on, James?
- Games? There's no games going on.
- Ready? Lift.
- All right, we're almost there.
- Okay.
- Watch my shoulders.
- Oh, James.
- I've written you a note.
You can read it after I leave.
Gonna leave this open.
I trust you.
- "When you're finished, get ready because it's date night.
"Starting with a bubble bath.
"Check the bathroom.
"I'm sorry it's taken me so long to treat you
"like the queen that you are.
"I still feel like being with you
"is better than finding moonstone.
"Good luck on your test, gorgeous."
(upbeat music)
- This looks incredible.
I'm gonna get started on dinner.
Sadie, you still good to help me
with my hair and makeup when I'm done?
- Oh yeah, I got you.
(James inhaling)
- That wasn't so bad.
- Come on, we need to stick to the schedule.
- Okay. Okay.
- Don't ruin my road. - Oh, sorry.
(James sighing)
- Okay, let's see.
Boring, boring, boring.
Hello.
(door knocking)
Wow, I look fantastic.
Did Sadie help you?
- She did.
(gentle music)
(James gasping)
- Oh my goodness.
- We will be your servers tonight.
- You have a full meal.
- Full-course meal.
- Full-course meal with three servings of appetizers.
- Appetizers, main course.
- And dessert.
- Good job.
- This is too perfect.
- You deserve it.
- Oh, this was a nice touch.
- Thank you.
I was thinking that we could plan a trip
to the Pacific Northwest.
I hear they have a lot of amethyst and obsidian.
- My favorites.
- We could bring the kids, camp on the coast.
That is if you want to.
- Well, I'll need to check my planner,
but that all sounds wonderful.
(Michelle clears throat)
Mm, dinner was amazing.
(gentle music)
- May I?
- You may.
- Sweetie.
What if we're stuck like this forever?
- That's not gonna happen.
- How do you know?
- Well, I don't know for sure,
but whatever it is we're experiencing,
I feel that it's temporary.
Maybe it's our final wake-up call.
- Well it's a very intense wake-up call.
- Do you really want a divorce?
- I didn't know where our relationship was headed.
It was only briefly discussed as an option.
I didn't know what else to do.
- Do you still feel that way?
- No, I don't feel that way anymore.
- Good, because I love you, Michelle.
I'm in love with you.
And I don't want to lose you.
(air whooshing) (intense music)
(Michelle gasping)
(upbeat music) (Michelle laughing)
I told you a kiss would work.
- Well I don't know why it worked now.
- I do.
It's because we meant it this time.
(upbeat music)
(birds chirping)
(phone buzzing)
(James groaning)
What is it?
- It's Kinsella.
She wants to see me in an hour.
- It's the weekend.
- I know.
I'm sorry. I think I should go in.
Can I take the van?
- Let me check my planner.
You know what?
Yeah, you can take the van.
- All right.
I'll start on breakfast while you get ready.
- Okay.
(gentle music)
- I appreciate you meeting me on a Saturday.
That shows a lot of character that you put work first.
- I don't.
- I'm not going to fire you, James.
For whatever reason, your little outburst in Denver
reminded me of myself 20 years ago,
clawing and fighting my way to the top,
proving myself time and time again
to higher-ups that didn't deserve my efforts.
In fact, I'm going to give you
a 5% raise in salary and a promotion.
It'll be a harder workload but it'll be worth it
in five to 10 years.
(gentle music)
- I won't be here in five or 10 years.
In fact, starting now I won't be here at all.
(upbeat music)
(birds chirping)
- Where's Mom?
- I don't know.
- She's probably going to be late.
- I'm here.
- You ready to go hiking?
- Yes.
- Are we going rockhounding?
- Absolutely, buddy.
- Yes.
- Mom, I forgot my jacket.
- You can borrow mine then.
- I think it's warming up.
I should be fine.
- Michelle, you ready for a little adventure?
- An adventure sounds great.
- [Sadie] Diarrhea.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music) (singer vocalizing)
(singer vocalizing)
Oh, gotta keep moving on
Oh, gotta keep moving on
Makes me feel all right
(singer vocalizing)
What a feeling
(singer vocalizing)
(singer vocalizing)
What a feeling
(singer vocalizing)
Makes me feel all right
Hey, far away when the day meets the night
Makes me feel all right
Hey, when the day drips away at the night
Makes me feel all right
