A Million Little Things (2018) s03e04 Episode Script

1
- We're gonna be fine. Okay.
- Don't! Open the door!
Previously on
"A Million Little Things"
It happens sometimes.
It's not a part of me
I like people to see.
And doing things
because I want to do them,
- 'cause I'm alive
- What?
- I can cancel my trip.
- D, stop.
I just haven't been
away this long since
We know. But you're gonna have
an amazing trip with Papa.
- Yeah.
- I've been trying to tell a story
about how my friend dying saved my life,
and he tried to take that from me.
But you can't steal my story.
Because the real story is mine.
You wrote a great script.
There are a few things I
want to talk to you about.
Okay.
Are you taking anything for the pain?
I'm not gonna take
what they prescribed me.
I'm sober.
Aah!
Mm.
Get down.
No. Wait.
- Get down! Get down!
- He's not with them.
Wait. Wait. No, please.
Oh, God! Please!
- Darce.
- Get down!
It's okay. It's okay.
Hey, hey.
You alright?
Are you guys okay?
Yeah.
We're just watching some TV.
It's good to know how
thin these walls are
for future reference, though.
- Good night.
- 'Night.
- You want to talk about it?
- Mnh-mnh.
No, I'm fine. I was
I was just having a bad dream.
Yeah, it was just a dream.
You have my mostly undivided attention.
- What's going on?
- Okay.
So, you know those mornings
when you wake up
and you get out of bed
and there's not a used
condom wrapper on your floor?
That was not my morning.
Oh, my God.
Is this your roommate?
You slept with "Pull-up Guy"?
Oh, can we call him "Chin-up Guy"?
"Pull-up" makes him sound
like he's wearing diapers.
I want deets, and I want 'em now.
So, I was finishing the
first episode of my podcast,
- and he was
- Oh, that's right! Your podcast!
Send it to me right now.
Y You want deets,
or you want a podcast?
Hey, you have a PhD. Multitask.
So, uh, I was finishing the
first episode of my podcast,
which is, you know, about how
Sent.
It's about me not letting
me talk myself out of
doing things I want,
and so I invited him
into my boudoir and we did it.
Uh, I feel like you're skipping
some details. How was it?
Uh, I'd give it a B+.
But it's never happening again.
Whoa. You do not flunk a B+.
You You tutor it.
There will be no tutoring.
I don't want to worry about
someone else right now.
That is not what
"British Maggie" is all about.
Now we're gonna have to have a talk.
It's gonna be weird
because we live together,
and he's gonna want to be
more serious about it and
Maggie, Maggie, relax.
You don't even know if
he wants a relationship
- or anything. What?
- Oh, no.
Uh
there's a Danish and a
coffee sitting on the table,
just waiting for me.
He picked me up a Danish.
Oh, no. A Danish is not casual.
What flavor is it?
Oh, it's my favorite.
Oh, why is this happening to me?!
So, you're not gonna eat it?
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
It's not the Danish's fault.
Ah! That's good.
- Morning, guys.
- Morning.
- Where's Gary?
- I don't know.
Maybe he went out for a
run!
- What's happening?
- Don't ask.
They're playing their stupid "boo" game.
I cannot believe I have to deal
with this for an entire month.
- Boo!
- Oh! My God.
I hate you so much! But, also, good one.
I love you like a son.
But, son, you suck at this game.
I feel like at least one of you
is too old to be playing that.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Trust me, we do.
Okay. I'm off. Enjoy yourselves.
- Bye!
- I'm just messing with you.
I mean, seriously,
first day on the job
and you are just killing it.
Just bringing that Gary Mendez energy,
keeping us fed,
even dressing stylishly
without even trying.
What do you want?
What are you talking about?
Teenagers don't lay it on that
thick unless they want something.
So go ahead. Spill it.
- There is one thing.
- Mm-hmm.
So, after visiting Harvard,
I realized that it's
probably not for me.
That's fine.
- Yale's good, too, apparently.
- Hilarious.
Where I actually want to go is
Massachusetts Music Institute.
I'm sure this has nothing
to do with you wanting to be
closer to your boyfriend, right?
Well, Jake is a bonus
But MMI is my dream school.
It's super-selective.
And I have an audition
for a prestigious
intensive music program,
and the guy that runs it
has gotten students into
Juilliard, Berklee,
and MMI every year for six years.
I see you're working
in admissions, as well.
- When's your audition?
- 12:30.
12:30 today?
That's right in the middle of
Ohh, that's why you're telling me now.
Ha ha ha.
Well-played, young she-Dixon.
I'm pretty nervous, actually.
I mean, the kids I'll be
going up against
have been playing since they
were old enough to talk.
Sophie, you are
a very talented musician.
If this is meant to happen, it will.
All else fails, you can start
playing the streets of Boston.
And that's the advice
your mom would give
with a French accent.
Hey. Stopped by to see you
- 'cause you know I missed you.
- She's not here yet.
Who?
Oh, that's right!
Today's the day
Shanice is supposed to be
- shadowing you for my movie.
- Mm-hmm.
I almost W-Where is she?
She's a minute late. It's gonna be fine.
Shanice can be prickly.
She dropped out of a $200 million movie
at the last minute because of
"creative differences."
Baby, she would not be
spending the day researching me
for her role if she wasn't
totally into doing your movie.
Just relax.
I'm so relaxed, really.
Hey, beautiful people!
She's here. Smile.
How about I stand here and express
my emotions as I have them?
Th-That'll work, too. Hey!
The real Regina! There she is.
Here I am.
This is gonna be so much fun.
Oh, girl.
And what are you doing here?
You know you're not the
director of today, right?
I-I just wanted to make
sure you were happy.
Mm, you want to make me happy?
Get out of here.
She already sounds just like you.
- Yeah.
- I'm
Mm. I'm getting out of here.
- Bye.
- This is me getting out.
I'm out.
Alright.
Is there something you want to tell me?
Katherine
I found this on my iPad.
Okay. Uh
Wow.
Who's this and where are her clothes?
What, you you weren't
Googling "big boobs"? Nope.
Nor was I
playing "Minecraft"
or watching "Teen Titans".
Oh.
Okay.
So, our son is getting
curious about the female body.
Yeah, which is totally natural.
Don't know that the first word I'd use
to describe this woman is "natural".
Yeah, I thought we'd have
at least another year or two
before we had to
have this talk with him.
We could wait.
So, what do we do here?
Uh, while he's at school,
I could go to the bookstore
and pick up an age-appropriate book.
That's great.
And tonight we will talk to him.
How mad were you when
you thought it was me?
I wasn't mad.
I just, uh, thought maybe you were
You know, 'cause you and I haven't
Uh
Hey, Katherine. I'm here.
- Um, I-I wasn't mad.
- Yeah.
I-I have to get to the office.
- Morning, guys.
- Hi. Morning.
Um, love you.
Yeah, I love you, too.
Okay.
Everything okay?
Yeah. Everything's great.
So, what are you gonna say to Theo?
Well, we don't want to make
too big a deal about it.
I mean, it was just one photo.
Are you sure about that?
- What?
- Hold please.
Uh yep.
Didn't clear history. Rookie mistake.
Let's see what else he's been searching.
"'Fortnite' cheats.
'Star Wars' rumors."
- Oh, my.
- What is it?
These chunky-knit throws are amazing!
There's hope for him after all.
Carter, that was me,
and act surprised on your birthday.
Aww, that's so sweet.
I see before you landed on that,
you were considering a selfie stick?
I'm glad where we ended.
An article on erectile dysfunc
And clearing history.
When, uh, we were leaving the hospital,
the doctor said that
Eddie should be fine
for that, physically.
But we haven't done
anything since the accident.
Uh, and I've I've tried.
Look, I know this is different,
but the last time I felt like he
lost interest in me in that way,
he was having an affair.
And obviously that's not
what's going on right now,
but I just wish I knew
if this was happening
because he he can't
or because he doesn't want to.
Katherine, you have
to talk to him about this.
I tried. We kind of started
talking about it this morning.
I think I just made it worse.
Let me speak from experience
as someone who has a deep,
deep understanding of a man's body.
Some say it's been my life's work.
You know, this can happen sometimes,
even to very handsome men.
Oh, so it's happened to you?
Thank you!
But no, no, no.
It happened to this
guy I was dating once.
He got his appendix out.
Then after the surgery,
he lost interest in
sex for a little while.
I mean, until we talked about it,
it was really hard to not
think it was because of me.
I am so sorry, Regan.
I thought we were meeting at 4:30.
Yeah. I'm on my way right now.
Okay. Okay, see you soon.
Hey, there, sleepy head.
Hey! Thanks for the Danish.
Oh, yeah, sure.
So, um, I-I had a lot of fun last night.
Y Me too.
Um, are you gonna be around later?
I really want to talk,
but I'm running super-late
for this meeting with
my fellowship advisor.
Yeah. Later's great, yeah.
Okay, great.
So great.
You know, I've been cooking
with my mother dear since I was a kid.
She wasn't a chef,
but that doesn't change the fact
that she makes the best
biscuits in all of Louisiana.
Oh, I love that story,
but you're kneading wrong.
- You just got to
- Mm.
You ain't have to play me
and mother dear like that.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
No, Gina, that was you being you.
- Yeah.
- That's what today is all about.
I'm here to soak it up,
so please be candid.
Okay, well, if we're being candid,
"me" is someone who's not comfortable
with all the attention on her.
Wow, I'm really gonna have to
stretch to play this role, aren't I?
I heard he's only taking
nine students this year.
Only nine?
What's up?
What are you doing here?
You said you were nervous.
I'm doing what your mother would do:
showing up uninvited
with a half-baked plan
to both soothe your nerves
and talk trash about the competition.
Look at this kid's hair.
And look at his viola.
Nobody needs one of those.
Thanks.
Your intonation is beautiful,
especially for someone
who only started playing
when he was nine.
Unfortunately,
your vibratos and their widths
left something to be desired.
But that's something that we can
work on together this summer.
Cool.
Yeah.
Sophie Dixon.
Let's do this.
I'm kidding. I'm staying here.
- Alright?
- Yeah.
That's something your mom would've done.
I truly believe everything
happens for a reason.
The challenge in life
is finding that reason.
Hey, man.
You ready to cast your Jon?
What?
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
- Great.
Before we start, I have something
I need you to sign off on.
It's the mock-up of
the poster for your movie.
My first movie poster?
First of many.
Check out how great this is.
"His last step was their first."
Intense, right?
We can't do this.
It's all It's all wrong.
Um, I don't understand.
This is what the film
is about, isn't it?
I mean, what else would
be on the poster?
I-I don't know, but not this.
Very nice. Thank you.
Oh, is is that it?
Sorry?
You just didn't say anything
about my performance,
and I thought you'd
give me some feedback
like you gave the last person.
Okay, sure.
Um you played very well.
I remember hearing a young man
do that same piece in church
once when I was young,
and you reminded me of him.
You hit all the right notes.
It just lacked passion.
Music's obviously a
wonderful hobby for you,
and and I encourage
you to continue it.
Thank you.
- You alright?
- Let's just go.
Give me a sec.
- Excuse me.
- You're excused.
Peter?
Hey, man. What was that?
- What was what?
- What could possibly make you think
it's okay to treat people like that?
Look, I don't know what to tell you.
She asked for my feedback,
and I gave it to her.
I'm not trying to be mean.
I'm just not in the business
of giving kids like
your daughter false hope.
Oh, she's not my daughter.
She lost her dad last year.
Tell you this, though,
it was her music that
got her through that.
Listen, I only take nine.
I didn't come up here
to convince you to admit
her to your program.
I came up here to remind
you that you are an adult
and that there's a nicer
way to do what you just did.
Whoa! You are really moving.
There you are.
Can you believe that jerk?
Well, I can't believe you.
Me?
It was humiliating enough
to blow the audition,
but for you to go in there afterwards
and talk to him like
like what, I'm a child?
Whoa, no, no, no.
I wasn't trying to do that.
I was I was trying to get him
to see who the real you is.
Yeah, well, that's for
me to show him.
Look, do you know why I waited
until Mom was out of town
to say anything about this audition?
- No.
- It's 'cause I thought
I could trust you. I thought,
"Uncle Gary would
treat me like an adult", but
clearly I was wrong.
Wow.
So, Katherine's out now
buying Theo a book.
Well, it seems like you're
handling it in the right way.
My mother told me so little
I thought sex was
just horizontal hugging
until I was 12.
Look who wore his fancy
sweatpants and came to play.
Looks like the ibuprofen's working.
Yeah.
But you still might want to
look into cortisone shots.
For someone with a history
of substance abuse,
it can really make a difference.
Does it really matter?
Look, it's just,
ever since I left the hospital,
I don't feel I've been the
husband that I want to be.
I get that.
When I first got back from Iraq,
I felt like I wasn't myself.
Sometimes I still don't.
Exactly.
This isn't what Katherine signed up for.
You know, when we first got together,
I was literally a rock star.
And she was crazy about me.
Feel like I'm just, uh
I'm not that guy anymore.
I don't know why Katherine
would want to be with this.
You know what?
You're right.
Your body is never gonna be the same.
It's just not.
But it doesn't mean your
relationship can't be.
So, every night after dinner,
we would take a walk,
and he'd always tease me
because I would never wear a jacket
and I would always end up taking his,
and that night, when I stuck
my hand in my pocket
His pocket
I found the ring.
Ah, that's so sweet!
Uh, you know, if I'm not overstepping,
I'd love to hear more about how
you navigate Rome's depression.
What was it like for you
when you found his note?
Well, it was
I don't know. Just
Gina, just be you.
Hmm. Mm.
Well, I felt a flood of emotions.
But mostly I was just in shock
at how out of the loop I was.
I should've known.
That was the hardest part.
A few weeks before I found the note,
I saw a pill on the floor.
And I just threw it away.
I didn't think anything of it.
But that pill was a clue.
Should've prompted a question.
And to this day, every time I clean up
or I'm emptying our vacuum,
I keep an eye out just to make sure
that I don't miss something again.
And it's tough because
he's got so much
going on with this movie
and there's so much pressure.
It's like the worrying never stops.
But he's he's good now.
And he's doing great, really great,
and ever since he started therapy
and taking the meds, he's been
I mean
Oh, my God. I totally forgot.
I actually have to go.
Oh, I thought you had a
you were gonna stay a little longer.
I'm supposed to talk to my agent,
but this has been incredibly helpful.
Thank you so much.
This does not seem perfectly normal,
more like perfectly weird.
Yeah, I know.
For now, all you need to understand
is that everybody feels
curious and embarrassed
and awkward around this
stuff when they're your age.
I know I did.
- Really?
- Yeah, me too.
But it's a part of growing up,
and there's nothing to be ashamed of,
so if you have any questions,
just remember you can always ask us.
Any question?
Any question.
Okay.
About that stuff
they're doing on page 46.
Do you guys do that?
Liam, you know the rules, honey.
What your dad says goes.
But, Mom, Sunday is
technically not a school night
because I didn't have any school today.
- Love you. I'll pick you up tomorrow.
- Okay, bye.
Hey, I put a load of laundry in.
The kids were running low on towels.
Awesome. Mind if I tell them I did that?
Could use a win right about now.
I managed to humiliate
Sophe at her audition.
It's so much easier for me
and Danny, you know,
like with the boo game
or navigating the journey
of a young gay kid,
imitating fart noises.
Or making noises that aren't
imitations of fart noises.
See, you get it.
Aw, Sophie, I don't know
what I'm supposed to do.
You know, I was a lot like
her when I was a teenager,
Daddy's little girl right up
until I started high school.
And my dad was even worse than you
He kept screwing up all the time.
This is the pep talk?
Here's the thing.
He never stopped showing up,
even during my "knee-high Doc Marten,
jet-black-hair, Nine Inch Nails" phase.
Ouch.
What I'm saying is
just be there for her,
let her know that you're in her corner.
Well, you ended strong.
Be there for her no matter where she is.
- Sure, I can do that.
- Yeah, you can.
Any idea where she is?
No, not a clue.
Yeah. Okay.
So, uh, last night was great.
It was Oh, it was really great.
Yeah, just great.
Uh, and I-I I'm
I really love how close we've
gotten since I've been here.
Oh, me too, yeah. I think
I think what we have is
it's so special.
Yeah, what I have in
in all of Oxford is so special,
and a big part of
that is because of you.
And yeah, last night was really fun.
I mean, it was like a solid B+,
and I'm really glad it happened.
Yeah. I mean, yeah. Totally. It was
B+?
Wow. Feels Feels like
it was better than a B+.
We We did it in several places.
Yeah, that's what got you the plus.
I mean, for a first time,
that was really great.
Or not that there will be another time.
That's what I'm trying to say.
I love the idea of having a
no-strings-attached casual fling
because I promised myself that
this year would be about me.
So when you got me
the Danish this morning
and then you texted me in
the middle of my meeting
with my fellowship advisor
about getting pad Thai at
It's not entirely about food.
Well, yeah, actually, it kind of is.
The The Danish from this morning,
that was for me.
What?
I-I bought it for me,
and then you ate it,
and I thought, "Oh, no,
she thinks I've bought it for her."
And then I saw you on your way out,
and you said you wanted to talk,
and I realized that I couldn't
tell you there and then
that I also thought this was casual sex,
and I didn't know what to do,
so I-I texted you
about the pad Thai
just to soften the blow.
Oh, and the chicken satay
was just because they were
having a special tonight.
Okay.
Uh, I want to believe you,
but I really don't want
anything serious right now.
Do you know what?
Jamie. Don't go.
Uh, hey, it's just
We'll talk about it.
What's this?
My past.
You were married?
Yeah.
So I've already done
as serious as it gets,
and it turns out it's-it's not for me.
So, Margaret,
if you're asking if we
can sometimes have sex
in a way that doesn't preclude us
from having sex with other people,
somehow I'll try to wrap
my head around it.
Hey.
I got your text. What's up?
- Uh
- You okay?
Yeah.
I mean no. I mean y Mm, I don't know.
We've been auditioning actors
for the role of Jon, you know.
Did you find anyone?
Found someone great, almost too great.
And then I see
the mock-up for the poster
with Jon standing on the ledge.
Just made me thin Wait.
Wh-Where's Shanice?
That's why I texted you.
Rome, I think I really messed up.
Wh-What are you talking about?
Well, she asked about
the day I found your note,
so I told her about that and
how you are taking meds
because you're getting help.
And then she just left.
I think I said too much.
Well, just because
she left d-doesn't mean
What?
It's Shanice.
She's asking if we can meet.
I think I'm about to get broken up with.
Knowing we're about to meet
- Would you know it's me
- Oh, my God.
From the funny way I talk?
And the sweet sad smile headed
towards you down the block
- If you called my name
- Wow.
Like you always would
Would it sound the same?
Hey, uh, thank you for meeting me.
No problem.
I'm your director, right?
Look, Rome
when I first read your script,
I was really moved.
But now I'm feeling a
lot of different things,
- and I feel like I-I need to be
- It's okay.
- honest with you. It's okay.
- It's It's okay.
- No
- Regina told me.
I totally get it if you
don't want to do my movie.
Honestly
I'm not sure that I should be making it.
You know, this is this is about
my friend's tragic death,
and I'm not sure I should be
using it to help my career.
I'm not sure if I should
be telling the story
- or if it's even mine to tell.
- Rome, stop.
That's not why I left Gina
at the restaurant today.
Look, talking to her made
it very real for me.
Too real.
Uh
you may have heard that
I dropped out of my last movie.
The reason I did is because I
was hospitalized for depression.
You may want me to play Regina
but in real life, I'm Rome.
I realized there was no way
I could really be in this
without telling you my truth.
This isn't just your story.
It's the story of so many people
who think they're suffering alone.
And your movie, our movie
will make them realize they're not.
So you have to make this.
This has to be told.
Especially for us.
Can you see your baby girl
In the woman I've come to be?
If you saw me now
Would you still know me?
- Yeah, girl. Get it.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- Wow, that was really something.
- Oh, thank you.
Listen, if that was all just
some way to do another audition,
that's not how this works.
It's not. I just wanted to show you
that I do in fact have passion.
Actually, that's exactly
what my wife just said.
Great. Does she also have
a summer intensive program?
She does not, no.
Look, um,
I already picked the people
for the program this year.
But it's not the only way to
get into a top music school.
I also teach private lessons.
But if I'm gonna work with you,
you've got to give it
everything you got.
I will.
You think you know what
it means to practice,
I can guarantee you that you don't.
- You up for that?
- Yes.
Okay.
I'll be in touch.
Thank you.
It's Uncle Gary's apology hotline.
Hey.
Look, I'm
I'm sorry for overstepping earlier.
I mean, I've only been a parent
for like a day, but this
This helicopter-mom
energy is mesmerizing.
It's like "Gollum and the Ring" level.
Hey, I didn't mean to smother you.
I-I know you didn't.
But just so you know, I just went back
and showed Peter what I can do,
and even though I didn't
get into the program,
he said he's gonna help me
with my music-school auditions.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
I wish you could've been here
to see the look on his face
when he heard me playing.
I'm so glad to hear you say that
'cause take a look to your left.
W Wait how did you
What are you doing here?
Wait, how did you even know where I was?
I might've used Find My Friends,
but but I hovered my
helicopter way over there
'cause I knew you could handle it.
I just wanted to make sure you know
I'm always in your corner,
Sophe, no matter what.
I know. Thank you.
How'd you make out?
Not bad. I got 12 bucks and 35 cents.
Okay.
It's at this point that I
feel obligated to tell you
it's actually really hard
to make money in music.
Really? Because the way I see it,
I have enough money for
us both to get ice cream
from the store around the corner.
Oh, sure, but only if I
limit it to three toppings.
We'll make it four if
you help me pack up.
You run a hard bargain.
How did you "accidentally"
send your advisor your podcast?
It was not my fault.
Autofill put in the wrong name.
I thought I was sending it to Regina,
but I accidentally sent it to Regan.
And she loved it.
Oh, of course she did.
She assumed that I was sending
it to her because I was thinking
about using it as an extension
of my research topic
All this talk about loss
and how to move on.
One of the biggest challenges
we face is trying to get people
beyond our field of
study to engage with us,
and apparently I found
a pretty novel way of doing that.
I'm sorry, is it just me,
or is your ex-mother-in-law
in every single photo?
Yeah, it's it's not you.
Serious question.
What happened?
Oh, uh, I don't think the answer
is worthy of your podcast, Dr. Bloom.
Uh, who said I would
ever want you as a guest?
Oh!
Try me.
Um, well, when we first started dating,
it was like we were
absolutely meant to be,
just like something out of a movie.
We had the same sense of humor.
We loved the same kind of foods.
We even adopted a stray cat together.
But it was pretty soon after the wedding
I realized that where
I wanted to go in life
and where she wanted to go
were two very different places.
I felt awful about it.
Does that make any sense?
- It does.
- I mean, don't get me wrong.
She's a wonderful person,
which is why we've remained friends.
Oh, so she's the ex that
you stay in touch with.
Yeah, I send her a text every so often
just to check up on Puma Thurman.
You named your cat Puma Thurman?
Yes, we did. Pretty good, huh?
Not Puma Furman?
Do you know, that's the problem
with you Americans.
Nothing's ever good enough.
Sorry.
Oh!
Boo!
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- What the hell are you doing?!
Don't do that! Don't you ever do that!
- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
- You can't just
- sneak up on someone like that.
- I just I-I thought you were Gary.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, Danny, I didn't mean to.
You just scared me.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
I'm
It's okay.
I can't believe how
many questions he had.
I had to look that last one up.
I'm impressed by how
my organs rearranged
themselves during pregnancy.
We did good today.
Yeah, we did.
How come we're able to
talk to our son about sex
and not each other?
Eddie?
Please?
Talk to me.
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking,
"How could you possibly want me?"
What?
Look, I remember the first night
we got together, you said
"I can't believe I'm with
the guy I just saw onstage."
Look, I am not that guy anymore,
and I never will be.
I still see you the exact same way.
The only difference is,
the night we first had sex,
I didn't love you the way I do know.
Look, my body is broken,
and I don't know how to use it, and
I'm probably a little embarrassed
to try to figure it out with you.
You know, what if we try and
it's just nowhere near the same?
Last year, after you moved back in
there were, uh
There were a lot of reasons
why I waited so long to invite
you back in the bedroom.
Part of it was that I was angry.
A lot of it was that I was angry.
But part of it was that I was hurt.
And part of it was I was just so scared.
Uh, what if I wasn't the person
you wanted to be with anymore?
What if, after that first time,
you decided
coming back was a mistake?
But I trusted you.
And
we found our way back.
And if you trust me now,
I know we can find our
way back from this, too.
Oh, Rome, it's perfect.
I know.
This is what my movie's really about.
All we need now is a tag line.
Mm. I'm so happy
you're feeling better, babe.
Thanks to you.
- Yeah.
- Hmm.
If you hadn't shared with Shanice,
she would've never opened up
to me, you know?
She made me realize that this
is my story to tell.
Mm-hmm.
It's like she said,
"When life gives you a second chance,
you have to take it."
Mm.
Oh, my God, Rome.
That's it.
That's your tag line.
Good night, British Maggie.
Good night, British Jamie.
B+? Seriously?
I'm a very approachable teacher.
Come by my office hours next week,
and we'll see if we can't
raise that grade of yours.
I always was teacher's pet.
How's Danny?
He's fine.
What did you tell him?
I told him that, uh,
on this knee is a cut.
When I was in fourth grade,
I thought that I could play goalie
in street hockey without pads.
I said we all have these little scars
that we carry around with us.
You can only see mine
when I'm wearing shorts.
Can only see yours when you're scared.
Darce.
- Let me help.
- I can't.
I just can't. I can't.
Gary? You okay?
I'm sorry to wake you.
I need help and
I just
I didn't know who else to call.
