It's a very big decision.

How's that sound? Sounds great.
Great.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
C'est Gad.
Seriously? You came here? You couldn't just sign the fucking thing? No.
I want to fulfill my duties as a father and legal guardian.
Yeah.
- Oh my God.
- Where is he? What? No.
Gad.
- Wow, house looks great.
Expensive? - This is not a good time.
That's none of your business.
It's a little of my business.
I send money every month Which is called child support, and Luke is not even here right now.
- Where is he? - At the gym.
Now at the gym? Yeah.
I don't know.
They like to work out late.
It's something about the metabolism.
When you say, "they," it's him and Jason Alan Ross? What if you call him Jason Ross? It's okay or it's not allowed? Goodbye, Gad.
Wow.
I love that.
That's the book thing.
It looks great on the wall.
No, really.
I never got my check for the royalty, by the way.
Yeah, well maybe they're not about you.
All right? Maybe they're about a different narcissist who left me with a child.
- [ASSISTANT.]
Viv! - Hmm? - We're ready.
- Someone's there.
- Yeah.
- Who is it? If I tell you, will you leave? - Maybe.
- All right, well that's Le'von.
He's in charge of EXhale's social media.
We're about to shoot some content.
So, if you would - Content? - Yes.
For Instagram.
It's not just books anymore.
EXhale is a full-blown brand.
We have almost 10,500 followers.
That's great.
Wow.
So, I'm a brand, too.
You know, I have over 1.
6 million? - Yeah, but in France.
- Oh.
What do you mean? It's the same.
It's people.
Yeah, but No, no but.
It's the same.
It's no? [LE'VON.]
It's actually not the same.
I forget what the conversion rate is, but it's just It doesn't quite translate to America.
Yeah [ROCK MUSIC PLAYING.]
[BRIAN.]
So, did Viv say what he's working out tonight? Legs? Chest? Cardio or something? Anything that might tell us where to look? [GAD.]
No, she didn't say.
[BRIAN.]
Damn, that would be very helpful right now.
This place is packed.
Only in America you see a lot of people at night working out.
Do they have a discount, these people? I don't get it.
You know, I believe it's the same.
But I can check for you.
- No, it was just an observation.
- Oh, okay.
It's my perspective on Yeah.
There he is.
Oh, chest.
Right in front of us.
You're not going to get in without a card.
Brian, I don't need a card.

Plus now we're thinking about adding a little one to the mix so Really? Acting just doesn't fit in anymore.
I thought Mom made you quit because you weren't booking any jobs.

Shrugs.
- Yeah.
I mean, you know, If I were to get a straight offer from Me Llamo Marco I wouldn't kick it out of bed, you know what I mean? No, I don't know what you mean cause I don't know Mamo Marco.

You text me like once a year.
- That's not enough.
- Luca.
No, calm And now you show up at my gym and I'm supposed to be fine with it? I don't need you.

Calm down.
[LUKE.]
I swear to God, Mom, if this swelling sets us back one fucking day, I will freak the fuck out.
This is his fault.
Who even asked him to come here? I don't want to see his weird fucking face again.
- [VIV.]
You don't need to freak out.
- [LUKE.]
What the fuck is he I'm sorry you had to hear that.
That's got to sting.
I mean, I can relate.
If I lost that kid's love, I'd be done for.
- He hates me.
- Nah, I think he's just scared.
I mean you were a little reckless back there.
I mean, he tears a muscle, it's over.
- What's over? You mean the modeling? - Everything is.
[LUKE.]
Don't you try to calm me down right now! I didn't realize that.
Oh, yeah.
Stakes are super high.
I mean, especially with the surgery in a few weeks.
What? - What surgery? - Pectoral implants, yeah.
You mean? Augmentation de No, this would strictly be to make them bigger.
A lot of the top designers tend to favor super lean arms with a plump chest.
[LUKE.]
Do you see this? Take a closer look, cause it's fucking swelling.
Can't he just work out? And then Well, no.
I mean that would build up the arms too, right? - [LUKE.]
in the fucking gym anymore! - Right.
[LUKE.]
The ice is melting.
I need constant ice on my chest! I mean there should be another way to grow the Hey, you got a pitch? I'm all ears, captain.
Yes, but he's 15.
Yeah, that's like 40 in any other profession, bro.
I mean, if he's not walking Fashion Week by 17, maybe 18? Trust me, he can start looking for a real job.
Oh, wow.
And we wouldn't want that.
Obviously, of course.
That's what I'm saying, yeah.
[VIV.]
I'll be back.
- [DOOR SLAMS.]
- I told you this was a bad idea.
- Okay, let me go see him for a minute - No, you're leaving.
Babe, anything I can do to lighten your load? I don't know.
Maybe change his ice packs.
I mean, it's been 20 minutes.
- They're melting, Jason.
Jesus.
- On it.
Sorry about that.
- Let me see him.
Just - No, he doesn't want to see you.
- Go.
- Hey, what's with the pec surgery? - Oh, you're parenting now? - I'm his father.
I want to know.
Okay, well look.
Don't worry.
I said to him if he wants them, then that's his choice, but he has to pay for them himself.
Oh, really? The money's the concern? Really? You're fine with this? Our son is getting a boob job? Stop it.
You're not from here.
It's different.
This is just what they do.
- Who do? - What do you care? - I care! - Okay.
I'm his father! I want to know.
Like you're here for him? You're here for you, don't you see that? The narcissist.
That's what you call me.
- Don't mind me, just running the ice up.
- Say goodbye to Gad, Jason.
- Bye.
- Goodbye.
Wait.
Please.
Okay.
I know I've been a piece of shit.
- Yeah, that's how you say it.
Exactly.
- Okay.
- Now I'm here, okay? - Okay.
And I'm ready to fix that.
Fix what? That's not how it works.
Look I know that you're used to getting everything you want.
But I'm sorry, Luke has a life.
And you're not in it.
Hey! I didn't sign.
- So, I still have the right if I want - No, you gave up that right years ago.
Goodbye! - I know that if I - No! [LOCK CLICKS.]
[BRIAN.]
So, are you going to go back to France or whatever? It's not France or whatever, Brian.
It's just France.
I don't know.
I don't know what to do.
All I know is that I can't let Jason Alan Ross raise my son.
No way to this guy.
- Wait.
Jason Alan Ross? - Yeah.
- He's King Deckard from Once Upon a Time.
- What? - Do you know this guy? - Yeah.
I know his character.
Yeah.
- Stop the car! Stop the car! - What? What? I got to pull over.
Don't crank the wheel! [TIRES SCREECH.]

Wow.
I love that.
That's the book thing.
It looks great on the wall.
No, really.
I never got my check for the royalty, by the way.

No, she didn't say.

This is his fault.
Who even asked him to come here? I don't want to see his weird fucking face again.
- [VIV.]
You don't need to freak out.
- [LUKE.]
What the fuck is he I'm sorry you had to hear that.
That's got to sting.
I mean, I can relate.
If I lost that kid's love, I'd be done for.
- He hates me.
- Nah, I think he's just scared.
I mean you were a little reckless back there.
I mean, he tears a muscle, it's over.
- What's over? You mean the modeling? - Everything is.
[LUKE.]
Don't you try to calm me down right now! I didn't realize that.
Oh, yeah.
Stakes are super high.
I mean, especially with the surgery in a few weeks.
What? - What surgery? - Pectoral implants, yeah.
You mean? Augmentation de No, this would strictly be to make them bigger.
A lot of the top designers tend to favor super lean arms with a plump chest.
[LUKE.]
Do you see this? Take a closer look, cause it's fucking swelling.
Can't he just work out? And then Well, no.
I mean that would build up the arms too, right? - [LUKE.]

Sorry about that.
- Let me see him.
Just - No, he doesn't want to see you.
- Go.
- Hey, what's with the pec surgery? - Oh, you're parenting now? - I'm his father.
I want to know.
Okay, well look.
Don't worry.
I said to him if he wants them, then that's his choice, but he has to pay for them himself.
Oh, really? The money's the concern? Really? You're fine with this? Our son is getting a boob job? Stop it.
You're not from here.
It's different.
This is just what they do.
- Who do? - What do you care? - I care! - Okay.
I'm his father! I want to know.
Like you're here for him? You're here for you, don't you see that? The narcissist.
