Parenthood s03e05 Episode Script

Nora

Do you wanna why I said no? I want a closed adoption.
I think you have a crush on Dr.
Joe, and I think Dr.
Joe has a crush on you.
This guy is a son a bitch.
He was the love of my life but he's sick now, and I know that now! I have relationships with bands.
If I started my own studio, they would all follow me over.
Do you have that in writing? I have it in fist bumps.
I think I might wanna do this with you.
- To the Luneonette.
- I'm worried.
All I'm asking you is to not screw up.
How did this whole thing start? Max told Jabbar that they had to eat lunch together every day.
I thought that they wanted to eat together.
Not all the time.
So I don't get lunch? No, honey, you get lunch.
You just--you have to eat in a classroom.
That's all.
I'll be alone? Yeah, but it's just one week during lunch.
One week lunch detention, then it's over.
Yeah, and they also want you to write a letter of apology to Jabbar.
Just a quick letter.
What's Jabbar's punishment? I--I think he might have a different punishment than you.
So he doesn't get detention? - No.
- No, I-- Does he have to write me a letter? No, honey, he doesn't have to write you a letter.
He hit me first.
Max, I know it doesn't make sense, but the reason that they're doing this is because you're in the fifth grade.
He's in the second grade, and they want you, as the older kid, to set a good example.
You're older, and that's the reason.
It's not fair! This isn't fair! He hit me first, and then I get lunch detention? What genius thought that up? You're right to be angry, okay? Sometimes in life things happen, and you just-- this is one of those things where you just gotta suck it up and do it.
- Suck what up? - Ah, it's just an expression.
Don't use expressions.
You know I hate expressions.
Okay, just--it means it's something you have to do whether you like it or not.
- You just have to do it.
- It's just a week.
Honey, we're sorry.
We're so sorry.
Max.
Buddy, hey.
It's okay.
Now, look, I know a lot of guys would have valeted on a first date.
But I'm not gonna pass up a spot like that.
And I just saved six bucks.
Pretty good, huh? And when all the other idiots are waiting for their car, we're just gonna zip out, fast getaway.
You are so financially responsible and smart.
Thank you.
Well, I try.
I think that's a good quality of mine actually.
I think it's a great quality.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What are you, uh-- oh, wow.
Okay.
You remember doctor-- Yeah, Dr.
Prestidge.
- What a coincidence.
- Hi, I'm Tuf.
- Tuf? - Yeah.
Tuf, hi.
Jasmine.
- Hey.
- Tuf.
Nice to meet you.
You guys gonna eat? That's the plan, yeah.
This you? Yeah.
Oh, man, that's, uh-- that's nice.
- Thanks.
See you later.
Yeah.
Yeah.
- Thanks.
- Voila.
Yeah.
He doesn't say, "I knew it was you.
" He says, "I know it was you, Fredo.
" Well, then he should have said, "and you are breaking my heart.
" Oh, my God, I can't believe you're getting it wrong.
He says, "I know it was you, Fredo.
You broke my heart.
You broke my heart.
" And holds-- he goes like this-- Hello, you two.
Hey.
Hey.
Who is that? Just give me a second.
Hi.
Hey.
What's going on? Just--nothing.
I'm hanging out in town.
Back in town, huh? Wanted to hang, you know, like the old days.
Get the music out and play guitars and just, you know, hang out and sing.
You got a guitar in there? - You're drunk.
- No, I'm not.
Hey, Captain Morgan, why don't you just give us a little minute here, huh? Come here.
Come over here and talk to me.
- I had a drink.
- I can't believe you're drunk.
I had one drink.
What happened, Seth? What happened? - I quit the band.
- Why? Well, they fired me, but then I quit.
Seth, you gotta go.
Oh, man, why, 'cause I'm interrupting your time with your boy toy.
Hey, Captain, I told you to give us some privacy.
Don't talk to him.
Listen to me.
Listen, why don't I call you a cab, okay, and you can just go? I got nowhere to go, all right? I'm staying at this hotel.
I got--I couldn't get my credit card into the thing, so - Do you need money? - I got money in the bank.
Okay, well, what was your plan? What are you gonna do? Sarah, what the hell is going on? - Oh, God.
- Papa bear.
- Dad, I got it.
- The hell you do.
- Dad, it's okay.
- No, it's not okay.
- Papa bear.
- No, it's, uh-- Hey, why don't you mind your own business, old man? Hey, hey, hey, no! Get the hell outta here! You want Drew to see you now, you drunken-- Dad, please! Get your ass outta here now! - Go on! - Drew's gonna hear.
- I'm talking to you.
- You guys, no, no.
Stop.
Get off my property.
Come on.
Okay, I'm leaving.
Yeah, let me see.
Dad, he's drunk.
He needs a cab.
I can walk.
Son of a bitch.
- Sorry.
- That's okay.
That's Seth? That's your ex-husband I'm assuming.
Really sorry.
No, no, no, it's fine.
You don't think I look like Captain Morgan, do you? The rum pirate guy? He has curly things and a longer-- come here.
May God bless and keep you always and may your wishes all come true may you always do for others and let others do for you may you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung and may you stay forever young may you grow up to be righteous may you grow up to be true may you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you may you always be courageous stand upright and be strong and may you stay forever young may you stay forever young Hey.
Hi.
Okay, what's going on? Uh, nothing.
I'm fine.
- When did this start? - What? How long has it been happening? Um, I've just had a cramp for the last couple of hours.
Couple hours straight? Like every ten minutes.
How long does it last? - For, like, two minutes.
- Mm-hmm.
I think it's just gas.
- Okay.
- T.
M.
I.
- That's okay.
- I'll get out of your hair.
Don't worry about it.
Okay.
Okay, we're going to the hospital.
I can't-- I can't go to the hospital.
I'm not going to the hospital.
I'll get fired.
You can't get fired for this.
And you are definitely going to the hospital.
Hello? Yeah? Hey, Amber, it's Aunt Kristina.
Hi, honey.
- Hi.
- I just wanted to see if I could talk to you for one second.
- Hang on, let me-- - Oh, hey.
Hey.
I woke you up, didn't I? No, no, I just-- I just got up.
- Can I come in for a second? - Yes, of course.
I was gonna call you, and then I thought, well, I'll just come over and say hello.
I haven't seen this place yet.
It's beautiful.
Very cool.
Very, very cool first apartment.
Thanks.
Just wanted to ask you a little-- sort of a weird favor.
Are you okay? Do you wanna sit down? You should sit.
Yeah, just for a second.
Here.
Please.
Let me see if I can-- clean glass.
Amber, you know the thing that happened with Max and Jabbar at school? - Yes.
- They got into a big fight.
And now his detention is that he has to spend an hour alone for this week at lunchtime by himself.
That's extreme.
I was wondering maybe if you could just go and just sit with him for an hour? - Sit in--sit with him in-- - His classroom.
In his classroom.
I already cleared it with school, and they said it would be fine.
And just to make him feel comfortable, because I can't be there.
I'm just-- I'm nervous because I haven't spent as much time with him.
I don't know him as well.
I mean, I'm not even sure he'd be comfortable with me being there.
- Am I really equipped to-- - You are.
You're family.
And basically I don't have any other options right now.
So if you can help me with this-- There it is.
No, Amber, I swear, I would ask you anyway, but-- Please, I'm not offended.
So, um, he has to write a letter of apology to Jabbar.
- Right.
- And he doesn't want to do it.
He's gonna be really defiant about it and kind of, I don't know, standoffish, but I really need you to persist and-- and get through to him.
- Of course.
- You'll do it? Of course.
It'll be fun.
Today at noon.
Today at noon, okay.
I love you.
Love you too.
You have a good day, and call me for anything.
And just be persistent with him.
Okay, persist.
Persist.
Okay.
Bye.
I asked her point blank, "What if this Dr.
Joe asked you on a date?" - Yeah.
- Wanted to go out for dinner? - She said, "no way.
" - Right.
And where would I run into her? At a place where they just had dinner.
- Really? - On a date.
- Huh.
- Textbook date.
I mean, how unprofessional is this guy? You know what that sounds like? He's dating his patients? That's where he's pulling from? That sounds like she changed her mind.
Well, clearly she changed her mind.
I would never do that.
Yeah, well, tell you what, why don't we do a little work, get your mind off it, okay? You said you were gonna fix that board in studio "A.
" What, are you gonna watch in a recliner or-- No, I'm gonna be working on that contract for the meeting on Friday.
The contract? Yeah, for the meeting with Mister R.
A.
Y.
Mistah R.
A.
Y.
- Mister R.
A.
Y.
- Mistah.
- Mistah.
- You're saying mister.
- Mistah.
- Yeah.
Mistah.
Mistah R.
A.
Y.
Mistah R-A-Y.
R.
A.
Y.
You don't have to use to a different voice when you say Mistah.
Mistah R.
A.
Y.
are you ready to lay down some sweet tracks with Dr.
Cros? That's great.
He's gonna love that.
On the topic of your hipness, do you think maybe on Friday you could go untucked? Maybe drop a button or so? - Just hip it up a little? - Hip it up? You know, just you don't wanna go in there looking like a tax auditor.
- You follow me? - Yeah, okay.
- Okay, okay.
- Hip it up.
Well, why don't you go work on that soundboard? I'm gonna review this contract and get some work done.
No, no, Adam, you cannot bring the contract there on Friday, okay? Why not? We gotta go there-- the meeting's about us convincing him to record here.
- Not about contracts.
- What are you talking about? Crosby, you told me that Mistah R.
A.
Y.
was gonna record his next album here at The Luncheonette.
You told me this.
It's a part of our business-- And he is going to.
This is the money that we're counting on when we go and we find other people to record here.
Adam, you're getting all revved up, and you don't really know what you're talking about.
Oh, I don't? I don't know when you lie to me? I know when you lie to me.
You can't do this if we're gonna be in business together.
You can't lie to me.
You're gonna have to trust me.
Friday is gonna be fine.
He loves me.
I'm gonna lock the whole thing down.
You just need to relax and chill out on the contracts.
Well, I thought that we had this locked in.
We have it locked in, okay? I'm gonna go work on studio "A.
" Okay, good.
I'm bringing the contract.
Oh, great, 'cause he's not gonna want to see it.
I'm gonna hip it up.
I'm gonna call him Mistah R.
A.
Y.
So that I don't embarrass my little brother 'cause I'm not cool.
I'm not hip enough.
Hip it up.
Mmm, how's that squishy cold sandwich? - Good.
- Okay.
Oh, cool, is this-- is this about beetles? Oh, look at that one's nose.
I don't wanna talk.
Hey, you know what, we should probably start working on that apology to Jabbar maybe.
No.
Okay, but, you know, you have to, so maybe-- He hit me first.
I have nothing to apologize for.
Okay.
I actually understand that, but, you know, the principal says you gotta do it, so-- I'm not doing it.
You know, your mom actually-- I'm not apologizing.
Great.
No cell phones.
Thank you.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Found the doctor.
You are perfectly healthy, and so is the baby.
Okay, and the contractions? - Braxton Hicks.
- Who? It's very common early false contractions.
You're fine.
Okay.
They do wanna keep you overnight though.
Got you a little present.
Toothbrush, toothpaste.
I'm gonna put these here by the sink.
And you have my cell if you need anything.
That's okay.
It's really, really late.
So you can go.
I mean, I'm totally fine.
Yes, okay.
You get some rest, okay? - Thanks.
- All right.
Um, are you expecting anyone? Um, Troy's working the late shift tonight, so Troy? That's my boyfriend.
And your folks? They were-- they live really far.
Okay.
You have 75 minutes.
Starting now.
Is this Cupcake Wars? I don't know.
Do I look like I watch Cupcake Wars? Well, I gotta tell you something, I do.
It's one of my favorite shows.
Turn it up.
- Are you serious? - I'm serious.
Yeah.
It's a guava cake with cheesecake filling.
Pipe the cheesecake filling inside the cupcake before we bake it.
Topped with cream cheese icing and rolled in Graham cracker crumbs, decorated with two white chocolate leaves.
The third cupcake is a-- That your crews lack and go who dat? you know the name type it in caps the life of the party with straws and we siphon the pabst drunk as a bum canoga brown bag it and blaze fraggin' your regiment, rip every dragon I slay off of respect I step like I'm walking on props so high that when I drop rhymes Hey.
Sorry.
I didn't mean to interrupt.
- No, no, no.
- What are you wearing? - What do you think? - I don't know.
I'm just-- I'm putting together some different looks, 'cause Crosby asked me to hip it up for this meeting.
Stop and-- to hip it up? - Kinda fit in.
- You can't wear that.
- Why? - It's awful.
I know it's a little dim sum, but it's clean.
Honey-- Honey, why don't you just wear a suit? I can't wear a suit.
I gotta try and fit in with these guys.
You know, we gotta try and land this account.
You know, this is important.
We want to get these guys in the recording studio.
Wait a second, wait a second.
You landed the account.
Ah, well, not exactly.
What do you mean? You said that you had the account.
I thought we did.
Did Crosby lie to you? He exaggerated.
No, no, that's a lie, Adam.
He lied.
Just say it, he lied.
- Okay.
- Okay, you know what, Adam, I'm really trying to have patience with your brother.
I really am.
I mean, this is ridiculous.
He's having you wear these-- - I know, I'm trying.
- No.
- Listen, okay, I know that my brother does a lot of stupid things, okay? But this recording studio was a good idea, okay? And I'm not just his brother right now.
I'm his business partner.
Okay, so I need you to be on our side.
- Can you do that? - Yes.
And I'm just trying to figure out an outfit that's not gonna be, you know, too much but is gonna help.
That ain't it.
Wow, this is just awful.
That's hideous.
I'm out.
Did you get me this? Hideous.
I never got that for you.
- Think your mom did.
- All right.
All right, I'll sit here and eat the whole bag.
- I don't care.
- Okay, I'll do it.
All right.
With feeling.
Jabbar, I'm very sorry for hitting you.
Okay.
Now like you mean it for two.
I did.
- Really? - Yes.
Okay, how 'bout this, I'm gonna say it two times, and you can tell me which one you think means more, okay? Okay.
Jabbar, I'm very sorry for hitting you.
Or Jabbar, I'm very sorry for hitting you.
Okay, which one means more? I'm not sure.
Max.
Which one? You really can't tell which one means more? No.
Can I have a Tootsie Roll? - Hi.
- Hey! Hi, mommy.
You're just in time.
I got some great asparagus at the Farmer's Market, and this girl is making-- what's the soup again? Pink, purple, polka dot soup.
- Polka dot soup.
- That sounds delicious.
This girl-- it's the polka dot that's delicious.
- Zoe, this is Joel.
- Hi! - Hey.
- This is Sydney.
Mwah.
You guys, this is Zoe.
She's staying with us for dinner.
I'm gonna grab some stuff out of the car.
Okay.
Hey, nice to meet you.
- Hey, sweet house.
- Oh, thank you.
I'm just gonna help her with the groceries.
I'll be right back.
- Okay.
- Wanna play with me? Uh Yeah, what the hell.
- Hey.
- I know.
I know, I know.
I just--I couldn't drop her off alone at her apartment.
She had kind of a bad scare.
Her boyfriend seems like a jerk.
She couldn't even call her mother.
Oh, okay.
So she's gonna get back on her feet in the morning.
Wait, the morning? The morning? She's spending the night? Yeah, it's one night.
I'm glad we discussed this.
- Hey.
- Oh, hey.
So, uh, looks like we're gonna have to get another pediatrician, huh? Didn't we agree that we were seeing people? What's the problem? Yeah, people.
Not our son's pediatrician.
Oh, okay, so now we're judging each other choices here? - How's Tuf? - Oh, Tuf.
Yeah, Tuf.
Well, if Jabbar has a fever of 102, do you have to call Tuf? That's the difference.
I have to call your boyfriend if my kid's sick.
You can keep dating him, but we have to get another doctor.
Okay, look, I understand, okay? I understand that this is a bump for you.
- I get it, I do.
- Okay.
Thank you.
You can pick whoever you want to take him to.
Whoa, let me finish.
He's the most sought-after pediatrician in the area.
No, really.
Kristina said that his waiting list is, like, six-month long.
Why were you talking to Kristina about him? 'Cause she called me because she needed my help to get an appointment with him.
- What'd you say? - What do you think I said? I said of course I'd help.
I called him, I asked, and now they're all set up.
When the baby's born, like, they're good.
That's awesome.
You should call Julia and see if Sydney'd like to go to him too.
You know, maybe get the whole Braverman clan Crosby! With Dr.
Joe as their main physician.
Where are you going? I'm gonna try to drum up more business for Dr.
Joe.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi, how are you? How have your last They've been good.
That was a good date.
It was a good date.
Started off perfect.
- Hi.
- Hi.
So I'm sorry that it was like The Jerry Springer Show at my house.
You don't have to apologize.
- It's just, uh-- I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Just so you know, he's been doing great for a long time.
He slipped.
Okay, so that was--okay.
That makes sense.
I wasn't sure if that was, like, a thing that happens, but he's been sober for a good chunk of time? Yeah.
Look, it's, um It's a choice I made that I'll live with the rest of my life.
And at times he's been really great, you know? And even when he's not great, he's still family.
Yeah, I understand that.
I mean, everyone has members of their family that are difficult to deal with for one reason or another.
Do you? - Yeah.
- Like--like who's-- Who in your family is the-- Yeah, I mean, like-- You don't really have one, do you? I'm sure I do, I'm sure I do.
But no, I mean, the point is that at least I understand.
I've read a lot of books about people, you know.
Um Sarah Braverman.
I've just wanted to do that since I came in.
Mr.
Cyr.
Yes? Did what you see make you want to run away? 'Cause I would understand if it did.
No.
No? No, I do not want to run away.
Good.
Yeah.
It needs some more of that Ooh, more sparkle.
Do you think it's the right shade on me though? - Yes.
- I think so too.
I think it's gonna go with the new sander.
Oh, you've got a purple sander? You know, I really think purple is your color.
These are turning out good.
Should I make more, do you think? - Oh, yeah.
- Yes.
- Morning.
- Hi, Zoe.
- Hey.
- How are you? Morning.
Good.
Look, we've got another sleepyhead in the house.
Yeah, you beat her.
That's a pretty big accomplishment.
That's, like, pretty hard.
Are you getting your nails painted? No.
Why? Oh, God, how'd this happen? - Purple, huh? - Mm-hmm.
Figured you more of, like, a red-- red kinda guy.
- Oh, you did, huh? Let that dry for a minute.
Made you decaf.
Milk, sugar? Yeah, milk and sugar.
Thank you.
Get used to that.
- Can I paint your nails next? - You got black? - I've got sparkly black.
- Mmm.
Ugh, okay.
Can I touch your baby? - Baby.
- Sydney, no.
What, Aunt Kristina lets met.
- Aunt Kristina's family.
- It's a little different.
It's okay.
Come on.
Get on it.
Somebody save me it's just too Cool.
Are you having a boy or a girl? - Sydney.
- Respect her privacy, baby.
I'm having a boy.
It's a boy.
Save me Cool.
Y'all hear the drums.
Take you back to Africa.
It's Cudi, man.
Bring back on the track.
Let's get in, man.
Yeah, whoo.
Cutty's back in the building folks and the oohs and the ahhs what he still provokes - Hello.
- I look like an idiot.
- What? - I made a mistake.
Okay, you asked me to hip it up, and I hipped it way up, so I need to change.
Why? I look ridiculous, okay? I went into this store, and this guy at the store's a big Mistah R.
A.
Y.
fan, and he said that I needed to look like today.
Not yesterday, but today.
And he hooked me up with this stuff, and I look like a clown.
So where are you right now? I'm at College and Eighth.
Well, listen, you're closer to my house than I am.
I don't have time to get there.
I'm by Mistah R.
A.
Y.
's.
You gotta go to my house, get me some normal clothes.
Get me some jeans, a jacket, and a tie.
Normal Adam Braverman clothes, okay? Okay.
I just wanna get this straight.
So your plan is to get naked in front of Mistah R.
A.
Y.
's house? Yeah, I'm wearing bulldog-- Oh, my God, a bulldog necklace, Crosby.
Just go to the house and get me some normal clothes.
All right, I will.
Thank you.
Zeek, you're gonna have to apologize to Sarah.
I'm gonna have to what? Gonna have to apologize to Sarah.
Come on, it's been three days.
You want me to apologize for kicking that scumbag off our property, do you? Oh, come on, you don't have to talk about him like that.
I'm not gonna edit my feelings for you, for Sarah, or for anybody else, Camille.
Come on, Zeek, they were married for 12 years.
He's Drew and Amber's dad.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I was there too, you know? I mean, what'd he do, spend half those years drunk, loaded? What'd he do to Drew? What'd he do to Amber? What'd he do to Sarah? I mean, he's the reason for most of her pain, for her heartache.
He has a disease.
My God, Camille, jeez.
Ugh, you always had this soft spot in your heart for that-- He needs help.
Yeah, well, he needs help.
I tell you what, I'm gonna get him some help.
He shows up here drunk or loaded again, - I'm gonna call the cops.
- No, you're not gonna call-- - I'm gonna call the cops on Seth.
No, you're gonna stay out of it.
No, I'm not gonna stay out of it.
I'm gonna handle it.
She can't handle it.
She never could.
My God, a disease? I want to say again to the American people how profoundly sorry I am for what I said and did to trigger these events and the great burden they have imposed on the Congress and on the American people.
What did he do? The details aren't really important, but what do you think he was feeling? - Sad.
- Yes.
Okay, so why do you think he was feeling sad? Because he's saying, "I'm sorry.
" Yes, that's true, but what about his face or what about his eyes, what are they doing? Well, his eyes are facing down.
Yes, his eyes are facing down.
Very good.
Facing-- - down.
Right, okay.
So what else? Like, is he smiling or-- - No, he's not smiling.
- Not smiling, okay.
And his voice, it sounded real low.
- Mm-hmm.
- Like this.
And he wasn't very loud.
Yes, great.
These are good notes.
You ready to try one? - Yes.
- Okay.
Jabbar, I'm very sorry for hitting you.
Okay, your eyes.
Jabbar, I'm very sorry for hitting you.
And your voice.
Jabbar, I'm very sorry for hitting you.
Max.
That was so good.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, now I want another one.
Okay.
Jabbar, I'm very sorry for hitting you.
Very good.
Oh, wait, what do we say? - Thank you.
- Eyes.
- Thank you.
- Tone.
- Thank you.
- Oh, beautiful.
My favorite student.
Oh, sorry, I didn't knock.
I didn't know you were in here.
Um, Adam had a big shopping disaster, and I need to get a suit for him.
So may I go upstairs? Yeah.
You know what, I can help you.
I can get it.
I thought you guys had that meeting.
Yeah, I'm on my way there now.
Crosby, I can help you.
Hey.
- I can get it.
- What is the matter? You okay? Do you know that Jasmine's seeing Dr.
Joe? Yeah, she may have mentioned it to me.
So you know that, and then you still tried to get an appointment with him? Well, he's a pediatrician, and we need a pediatrician, Crosby.
Yeah, there's a ton of pediatricians in this city.
You have to have that one? Okay, what is the problem? I just feel like-- Oh, what's the problem? What if you and Adam got divorced and then I started taking my son to his new girlfriend's practice? You don't think that would bother you? If the whole family was going to see Adam's new girlfriend? Are you upset that she's dating again? No, I'm not upset that she's dating.
I'm upset she's dating my son's doctor and that now you're trying to make him your kid's doctor.
- You are overreacting.
- I'm overreacting? Okay, well, I hope it doesn't ever happen to you so you don't have to find out whether I'm overreacting.
Okay, fair enough.
You're being insensitive, is what it is.
What'd you just say? I'm insensitive? - Yes.
- You know what, you're insensitive.
You know what's insensitive? Insensitive is you sleeping with Gaby.
Now we can't find a replacement for Gaby still.
I also think that it's insensitive for you to not tell us about Jabbar and Max getting in a fistfight at school, because guess what, Max has detention and Jabbar doesn't.
He's off scot-free.
That's really great for Max's self-esteem, isn't it? 'Cause I couldn't bare to tell Adam that Jabbar didn't want to eat with your son? You call that insensitive? That's not the point.
That's not the closet, that is.
You know what, it doesn't matter.
Okay, well, I handled it my way, and apparently it didn't work.
Okay, guess what, you're gonna have to suck it up while my family sees Dr.
Joe because he's the best damn pediatrician in town.
And guess what, I'm thinking about my family right now.
I'm not thinking about you, Crosby.
Hey, I care about my family too! And while we're at it, don't lie to my husband.
I did not lie to him! Yes, you have don't tell him that you have a client booked and you don't.
I didn't tell him I had him booked.
I never said that I had a client booked, okay? I said people would follow me over.
That doesn't mean we don't have to meet with them.
Act like an adult if you're gonna be in business with my husband.
Hey, I'm in business with your husband, not you, okay? I don't need to take this from you.
I'm gonna go close this deal.
You know what, close the damn deal because you don't even have a deal to close.
You don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Crosby! What? Can you come here for a minute? Listen, I don't have time to have this argument.
What are you doing? My water just broke.
Okay, what-- Okay I need you to call adam right now.
- Yeah I calling him.
- Get him on the phone.
Adam, Adam, man, you gotta forget the meeting.
We are code blue right now.
Kristina is in labor.
You gotta get to the hospital now.
- Crosby, just stop-- - What? What do you want me to do? I'm going as fast as I can.
- Ooh! - What are you doing? Oh, oh, oh! Oh, God! - Hold it.
- Oh, I can't.
I'm gonna have this baby in your car.
You're not having the baby in the car, Kristina.
Just drive.
Crosby.
You expecting somebody? Hell no.
- Hey, I thought-- - You lost? No, no, no, I'm not lost.
I'm here for the meeting.
Mistah R.
A.
Y.
I'm Braverman.
Adam Braverman.
Hi.
You're Crosby's brother? Yes, I am.
You don't look like Crosby's brother.
I am.
I'm Crosby's brother, Adam.
Adam Braverman, and I just-- I'm a little late, and I'm sure he's just stuck in traffic.
And you know what, you guys are late too, so it's all good.
- Come here.
- Yeah, what? - Come here.
- All right.
Nice duds.
Thank you.
Should I just pull in? Come on, man, follow me.
All right, okay, I just gotta grab some stuff from my car, and I'll--okay.
Does your husband always let your daughter do that? What? Oh, let her paint his nails? I know, I told him he doesn't have to let her do that, but he loves her to death, so Yeah, I could see that.
My life is such a mess.
You're really nice.
Thanks.
Oh, God.
Oh, it hurts! Listen to me, Adam, you need to get your ass down here right now, okay? Ooh.
- Okay, uh-- - Did you get a hold of him? I left him a message, and I know he's gonna-- and I called my sister and my mom, so someone's gonna be down here.
Crosby, get him here.
Just hold tight, okay? Ain't nobody holding tight.
We're at nine centimeters dilated.
This baby's coming right now.
I want him so bad.
So you staying with us or you got something better to do this afternoon? God, oh.
He's staying.
I'm staying.
I need ice chips and chapstick.
So take it from the top.
All right, all right.
Damn I'm in the zone, bad to the bone like Everett Jones pimp prodigy, possibly a phenom No, thanks.
I don't need to-- Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yo, Adam, drink up, man.
Thank you.

Excuse me.
The, uh-- R.

Sorry, he don't like white people.
I'm not white on the inside.
Come on, Cash.
He all right.
This white man ain't gonna hurt you.
Come on, let's go.
Good boy.
Where the hell is Crosby? I need you to push, Kristina.
I can't push any more.
I know, but we're so close.
I need you to push.
- I can't do this.
- Kristina, I promise you.
I know you're tired.
I know you're tired.
But you're so close.
Your baby's about to come.
Every time you feel a contraction, I need you to push, okay? Okay, I will.
I think I need to step out into the hallway for a second.
No, you ain't.
You hold your lady's hand.
You keep your scrawny ass right where it is.
You know that's not my wife.
I don't care if y'all married or not.
Actually, that wouldn't be a bad idea.
- Will you? - Okay.
- Just stay for a minute.
- Okay.
Hey, don't look down there though.
- I'm not looking.
- Just keep your eyes up here-- No, eyes on the road.
Okay.
Oh, God, I feel another contraction coming.
- There you go, Kristina.
- You're hurting my hand.
- Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
- It's okay, it's okay.
- You got it, okay? - One more.
Just one-- You're doing great, Kristina.
- You doing the breathing? - Yeah, I'm doing the breathing.
- You're doing great.
- Doing the breathing.
- There you go.
- I'm almost there.
I'm almost there.
- Please don't go.
- Okay, I'm not going.
I'm gonna stay.
Okay, stay.
Promise.
So what do you use to record? To record on? I don't know.
Honestly, I don't know.
Crosby would really be the person to talk to about the equipment.
Well, he ain't here.
I know, and I don't understand what happened.
I'm very sorry.
He just must be delayed.
So what about you, you been doing this for long? No, no, no, no.
I'm just getting started in the recording industry, but I'm really excited about it.
What'd you think about my music? - I liked it.
- Get the vibe? I did.
I get the vibe.
- You get the vibe, homie? - Yeah.
I do, I get the vibe.
I mean, I really-- I loved what I heard, I did.
I think that sometimes it can be a little crude.
What? The explicit language, I think it's too much.
- It's Bay-Area hip-hop.
- What do you expect? I don't want you to get me wrong, I like what you have to say.
You know that song that you have about your brother getting shot? - My Redemption.
- Yeah, My Redemption.
That is a great song.
Powerful, you know? You're a poet, and I'm not just saying that.
- Did that really happen? - Hell, yeah, that happened.
You think I'd make that up? No, no, God, no.
No, not at all.
I just--I'm very sorry.
I don't know what I'd do if my brother got shot.
That must have been really hard.
- Yeah, it was.
- I'm sorry.
Listen, I like your music.
I really do.
I like the stories you put in your music.
I would let my kids listen to them if there wasn't all the cursing, is all I'm saying.
You're the strangest white man I ever met.
- Yo, Adam.
- Okay, yeah? You're having a baby.
Yeah, my wife and I are having a baby.
No, fool, I just got a text from Crosby.
You're having a baby now, cuz.
I'm having a baby now? Crosby's at the hospital.
That's where Crosby is.
Crosby's in the hospital.
My wife is having a baby.
I gotta go.
Uh, listen, we want you to record at The Luncheonette, okay? Crosby told me you probably wouldn't want to sign a contract, but I brought one.
Here.
I'm just gonna set this right there.
Just ask you to look it over, but I gotta get to the hospital.
Congratulations, man.
Okay.
One more big push, Kristina.
Here she comes.
Here she comes.
Here we go.
Oh, my God, she's perfect.
Oh! Does the not-father want to cut the cord? And when we kiss they're perfectly aligned Go for it.
Hi, baby.
Hi.
Oh, hi, baby.
This is Nora.
Nora's looking at me.
You like Uncle Crosby? Hi, baby.
Corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay and true it may seem like a stretch but it's thoughts like this that catch my troubled head when you're away when I am missing you to death when you're out there on the road for several weeks of shows and when you scan the radio I hope this song will guide you home I kinda want to wake her up.
Is that wrong? Let me get this straight.
Crosby was there, but Run-D.
M.
C.
was not? - Right.
- Exactly.
- Run was not in the house.
- Crosby did amazing.
He was pretty awesome.
He did great.
He did need a shot of adrenaline.
This is Natalie, who's now an honorary Braverman now.
- Hi, Natalie.
- You okay? I'm good.
- Good.
- I'm good.
Beautiful baby girl.
- She sure is.
- How about that, huh? Could I hold her? Is it too early? No, of course not.
Yeah.
Will I ever feel the same all the love I have is turned into pain All right, oh, let me see, let me see.
- Let me see.
- Shh.
She's sleeping.
Not anymore.
Oh, Millie, look, she's got your eyes.
- Oh, really? - Yeah, well, I think so.
- She's big.
- She's huge.
- Way to go, Kristina.
- Thank you.
She didn't do it all by herself.
Well, here you go.
Give me a man hug.
Come on.
Congratulations, Pop.
Congratulations.
Jabbar's here.
Everybody, enough about the baby.

It's hard for me to be flexible, but I'm working on it.
I really like you, and I hope you will still be my friend.
I still want to be your friend.
