Parenthood s05e15 Episode Script

Just Like Home

How'd you get that interview? Carl, who you met the other night.
- Hey, Hank.
- So I wonder if we could do the job together.
Just like we used to.
Except that I'm the boss.
Your girlfriend hasn't told her parents that she didn't go back to Tufts? It's been two weeks.
How long is she gonna stay? If selling this house is important to you then I'm willing to do that, because being in this house without you is just not gonna work.
I'm moving out, Julia.
No, you can't do this.
We're a family.
You can't go! Mm.
Okay, pack up those backpacks.
Dad is gonna be here any minute and I got these for you.
Blue for Victor Cool.
- And red for Sydney.
- Why's it so heavy? Because I packed everything I thought you could possibly need for your big weekend with dad.
So we have to carry these around all day? We already have backpacks.
No, they're for dad.
He's gonna take them to his apartment after he drops you off at school, so-- - it's just a bag.
What's the big deal? - Thank you.
- Oh, God.
- Hey! - Dad.
There's my man.
Hey, buddy.
You need help with this? - No, it's okay.
- Okay.
- I call shotgun! - No, no shotgun.
You're gonna sit in the back with your sister.
It's safer.
Is this--is this everything? Yeah.
- Oh, okay.
- So, uh I guess-- Have a good weekend.
- Yeah, you too.
- Okay.
- All right, guys.
- All right, you guys.
See you Sunday.
Bye.
Bye.
- Who is hungry? - I'm hungry.
I figured.
- Hey.
- Oh, hi.
- How are ya? - Um, is Zeek here, or Camille? Uh, they're both out.
Those are my folks.
Okay.
I'm their real estate agent, Karen.
I'm just gonna drop these off with you right now.
They're the comps they wanted to see before we officially list.
List? - This house.
- List--list this house? - This house, yeah.
- For sale? Uhhuh, for sale with multiple offers.
Fingers crossed.
Ooh, sorry, gotta get this.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
Excuse me.
You bet.
Wow, could your first class be any farther from your dorm? Yeah, well, you didn't have to come.
You know, I know how to get to this class at this point.
I'm just saying it's way bigger than Tufts.
And the weather's nicer, that's for sure.
Um, well, I actually-- I have a lab after this.
Yeah, yeah.
Astronomy, I know.
Well, what are you gonna do? I'll probably just go to the student center, grab some coffee or something.
Do you want me to grab you anything? - Uh, no, I'm good.
- Okay.
All right, well, I will meet you back here? - Um, yeah, sure.
- Okay.
Okay, here we are.
Now, you guys are sharing a room, but I got you bunk beds.
You guys gotta see it.
They're like a fort.
Here we go.
What's that humming? Sounds like the elevator.
Uh, yeah, you can't hear it from the bedroom though.
Here we go.
So here is the living room.
We got the kitchen over there.
Dining room over here.
This TV screen, no joke, plays 3-d movies.
- Cool.
- Then right down here, we got our old trusty friend.
You have an Xbox? An Xbox.
We got cable.
We got pretty much everything we have at ho--at the house.
Check it out.
I got a couple of games we could try out this weekend.
Cool.
Syd.
Here's that rainbow loom you have at home.
I thought we could, uh, you know, go rainbow Bracelet crazy this weekend.
I don't play with that anymore.
I'm ten now.
You don't? Okay, well, uh, maybe we'll just have to go to the toy store and find something you do play with.
Hey, one last thing.
Out this window Take a little gander.
- There's a pool? - There is a pool, yes.
- So we can go swimming? - Yeah, we could probably squeeze in a quick swim before dinner.
But we didn't bring our bathing suits.
Well, it's a good thing dad bought you bathing suits and put 'em on your bed.
Go, go, go, go, go, go.
Second door on the left.
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 Mm.
I can't believe we just got in the car and drove to Mendocino.
That's so crazy of us.
- Scandalous.
- I know! Crazy crazy.
Who do we have to thank for this trip again? Phil and sue gave us the gift certificate.
- The Lessings? Really? - Nice, right? I know, it's so weird though.
People giving you gifts because you have cancer.
- Oh, it's nice though.
- It is weird.
But it is relaxing.
You relaxing? Yup.
Yeah? I gotta make a quick phone call, all right? - I'll be right back.
- To who? It's just a work thing I forgot.
Gotta get it off my mind.
Okay.
Oh! Oh, my God! That cold Mountain air! Hello? Hey, Jules, it's your big brother.
You are not calling me from your spa weekend in Mendocino.
Listen, I just had to call and check up.
I was worried about you.
How you doing? - Uh, I'm--I'm fine.
- You sure? Adam, thank you so much, but I'm--I'm f--don't worry about me, okay? Truly, I've got a whole schedule.
I already made a target run, I cleaned out the freezer, I did an expiration date purge in the pantry, and now I'm about to binge watch Orange Is The New Black, so All right, well, that sounds, uh, productive, I guess.
Yeah, well, you just worry about showing Kristina a good time and tell me you're not wearing that old man bathing suit of yours.
- These are my trunks! - I'll take that as a yes.
I've had these trunks forever.
I love my trunks! Don't be dissin' my trunks.
Okay.
I'm hanging up now.
Bye.
All right, I love you.
Honey? Oh, ho ho ho, it's cold! - You're a wuss.
- Oh! What? You're so weird! I just need you to close your eyes, okay? - All right.
- Just close your eyes.
I don't want you to think about a thing.
You're good.
You're all good, okay? Ah, all right, you can open 'em.
Are you losin' the trunks? - Time to say good-bye.
- Yeah.
- Okay? - I love it! Some of these are pretty good.
"Some of these are pretty good.
" A rave.
Well, not these.
- No? - Unusable, unusable.
They're not unusable.
What are you talking about? Those are my favorite ones.
Taco truck in the background ruins it.
It doesn't ruin it.
The taco truck was the point.
I put it there.
- We could take it out later.
- Don't take it out.
It draws your eye from the surfers and surfboard, and that's--this is a surfsport shoot, right? - No, it-- - So--so-- - okay.
- I would say Scratch those.
Sleep on it, would you? Just look at those again tomorrow? I don't need to sleep on that.
I already know those are no good.
That was part of my whole vision.
Those are my favorite ones.
Yeah, well, vision? I mean-- - don't laugh when I say vision.
- Some of them are good.
I said some of 'em are good.
I gotta go.
Thank you.
I will live on that.
I'll dine out on that for the next three years.
- What do you got, big date? - What? - Lipstick and all? - Yes, I'm going to dinner, but I'm not-- it's not a big date.
I'm meeting Carl for dinner.
So it's kinda turning into something? - With Carl? No.
- That's good.
Why is that--why? What do you mean? No.
He's a neighbor.
I'm meeting him for dinner.
With lipstick too? Do you eat--how's that work? I've worn lipstick before.
I wear it frequently.
You gotta drink with a straw, right, 'cause you're gonna get it on the glass? That's not attractive.
Is it mauve? It's not mauve.
I gotta go.
Yeah.
Have a good time.
Okay, thanks.
All right.
It's a good color though.
It'll look good when it's on the veal parmigiana or whatever.
Hey.
Hey, Drew.
Well, yeah.
Later.
So is she, like, living here now? Who? - Who do you think? Amy.
- Oh, Amy? - Yeah, Amy.
- No.
She's just been-- she's staying here for a couple of weeks.
I'm fine with it.
I mean, whatever, the fact that you're blowing me off, but it's like she's just always around.
She, like, waits for you outside of class to pick you up and--look, every single time you talk to me you're looking around like you don't want her to see us together.
Oh, my gosh.
What is that? It's just-- it's weird, that's all.
Hey, Amy.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Just let me know if you wanna come back to the world.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Is everything okay? Nora.
Nora.
Stop.
Stop.
Look, she needs a spoon to eat.
No, she doesn't.
She uses her fingers at home.
I kinda liked it.
She has a lot of rhythm.
- This milk tastes funny.
- It does? It's the same milk we use at home.
Can I have water instead? - Me too.
- Oh, now you want water? Everyone's too good for milk? Wow, have those things come a long way.
Since back in the day.
Yeah, when Crosby was a baby he had to scream his lungs out before we ever heard him.
Poor thing.
You know something, Jabbar? Your dad had the loudest lungs I've ever heard in my life.
Explains a lot.
I was always fearless and brave.
This thing's making too much static.
It's hurting my ears.
Well, let me fix that for you, young squire.
That better, Max? - Is that all you're eating? - Oh, yeah.
I think you should have a little something else.
- No, no, no.
- You're nursing.
- It's fine.
- Yeah, well, I mean, you need fuel for the-- Dad, dad, dad.
- Hmm? - Don't worry about my wife's fuel supply.
Yeah? You know what I would love to talk about is the visitor we had earlier this morning.
I think her name was Karen? And she--dad--she was dropping off some comps she said that you had requested because - Mm-hmm.
- The house is on the market? Is this-- Yeah, mmhmm.
That's right.
Well, when were you gonna tell me this? Well, we hadn't really gotten that far, son.
Well, it affects a lot of us.
- Aw, Crosby.
- What? Our whole history is in this house.
You can't just sell it up from under us and act like it's not a big decision.
We're not selling anything out from under anyone.
It's our house.
It's our decision.
- Uh-huh.
- We'd been thinking about it and discussing it for quite some time now.
And we don't have to run anything by you or anyone else.
So all those years I thought my father's taking me for this secret, special ice cream treat that none of my brothers and sisters were getting, and then, like, last year I found out no, no, he took them all Oh, no.
For a secret ice cream treat, and that's the way he got four ice creams in one day and didn't get in trouble with my mom, so - Very wise man, I think.
- I can't believe it.
Who apparently enjoys ice cream.
- I thought I was so special.
- I think you're pretty special.
You're special.
Uh-huh.
Mm.
This is so good.
I can't--ugh.
Talk about special.
This is my favorite food, and I keep thinking about my sister at home.
Uh, oh, Julia, right? Is that-- Yeah.
It's nice of you to remember.
Yeah, anyway, home run, you.
- Thank you, people at work.
- Oh, yeah? They recommended it.
I polled everyone endlessly.
Why? You know what, I love that photograph you took of the taco truck, the beach, and, uh, I don't know, just thought it'd be fun to tie that in somehow.
- Oh, my God, that's so nice.
- Eh It's great.
You should take a date here sometime.
Oh.
I should take a date, should I? What would I call this? Just hanging out? Yeah, man, just, you know, being casual.
Yeah, have a beer and tacos.
I like that.
I like you.
I don't know.
I don't meet that many people like you who are as thoughtful and kind as you are.
Even in my line of work, you wouldn't think that would be the case, but it is.
I like that you--I don't know.
You think about your family here, you're thinking about your sister, and you have no idea how beautiful you are.
Or how funny.
Oh, my God, I sound like I may be falling for you.
Guess that's why we're here.
Beer, anybody? Great.
Be right back.
Hey.
I didn't wake you up, did I? Not at all.
I am up, I'm going for a run.
A run? Yeah, you can sound less surprised.
I wa--I wasn't surprised.
I know you run.
It's good, it's healthy.
It's a great way to-- anyway, how was the night? - It was eight hours.
- Oh, not much sleep, huh? Nope, not much.
Actually, I ended up in Sydney's bed, so there's that.
It's okay.
It makes sense.
It's so--I mean, logically, I know that this is just for the weekend, but it's so quiet in here.
It just--it feels empty, it sounds empty.
You'll get used to it.
I don't wanna get used to it.
No, I don't--I don't mean-- I mean It won't always be this way.
It gets better.
Julia? Okay, thank you.
I'm gonna go.
Um No, come on.
Hey, do you wanna do something later? Have lunch or something? Um, maybe.
Uh, let me call you.
Let me--I'll call you after.
Okay.
- Okay.
- Bye.
Bye.
I'm confused.
She's living in--in your dorm room with you? Yes, she's living in my dorm with me.
What does she do all d--I mean-- - I have no idea.
- Wait.
It's been a while too.
Her parents don't even know.
I mean, that's weird.
What she's saying is that I just make her happy and she just wants to be around me and all this stuff.
Well, what do you want? Her to leave and go back to school, you know? I love her.
I-I do, but It's crazy.
It's-- you can really love somebody, but Also want them to go.
Why don't we have any post-its? How'd the, uh, the lipstick go? The what? Did you choose the right color for your date? Can you have the wrong color? What do you goa do then? You gotta start-- I don't know, but it worked out fine.
You ladies got it rough.
I gotta be honest.
Why do we ladies have it rough? Too many things you gotta accessorize and all that.
Hey, did you mess with these? The surfsport? Yeah, oh, yeah.
I-I-I-- - Hank.
- Fooled around with it.
You took the truck out of every single-- you just took all the trucks out? - Yes, I made--I made it better.
- Hank! These are my--this is my work.
I can't believe you're so mad that I put on lipstick to go on a casual dinner with Carl that you messed with all my photos.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- That's what you do? "T.
" "T," okay? Leave feed the world out of this.
I don't care about that.
We have to bring this to a client.
It's gotta look professional.
I know.
The client hired me.
I am the professional.
I hired you to help me, not sabotage me.
Sabsab-- these aren't better? These are not better? That doesn't look better? - I don't know.
- Okay, that--that-- okay, I mean-- - Yeah.
better without it, but--80%, you know, but not all of them.
Thank you.
But Hank, we're doing this together.
You can't just do stuff on your own.
- Well, we did work on it.
- No! We have to work on it together like normal people.
Communicating.
- Like normal people.
- You have an idea and I have an idea, and then we make a decision together.
That's what working together-- I have to g-- I'm gonna get a coffee.
Where are you going? I'm gonna get a coffee.
I need to just relax for a minute.
I don't understand.
If it looks better, it looks better.
- It's not the point.
- It is the point! Mm.
This is so awesome, honey.
Oh, God.
It is.
Hmm.
Been a long time Yes, it has.
Since we took a break.
Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years.
Thank you.
I just--I-I don't know if I ever truly said thank you to you for--for everything that you did for me, you know? Going through that together, I-I don't think I've ever really, truly said "thank you.
" Like a You don't have to.
Listen, if I gotta be stuck in the mud I wanna be stuck in the mud with you.
Well, you're stuck.
I mean, look, these toxins are just dripping off of me.
See, this is why I'm taking all those pills, so I can remember where I put my socket wrenches, and I can't find 'em.
Well, where do you think you put 'em last? Could you just make yourself useful and look too? In this trash heap? Dad, they're right-- they're right here.
No, those are the old ones.
- This is a socket set.
- Those are the old ones.
This is the old ones.
Heaven forbid you use the old-- hey, you know what? Maybe I should look in the house for the new set.
Huh? The house, my childhood home that's on the market? This--it's just right here.
I better look now before Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're slashing prices, I know.
Okay, what--what are you talking about? Why aren't you saying anything? Well, there's nothing much to say, Crosby.
There's a ton to say.
Am I not talking to Zeek Braverman? Of all people, you should be raising a red flag.
I mean, you wouldn't move out of here in a million years.
What's going on? Hey, why don't you just let me worry about what I would or wouldn't do, all right? You don't seem to be worrying about it.
Dad.
Okay.
Got 'em.
Oh, great.
Dad.
Huh? Listen--hey, hey.
Wh--please.
Your mother and I have been together 47 years, and we've been through a lot.
We've Been through a lot of milestones.
Then she goes away to Europe, and all of a sudden I'm left here at the house.
I'm all alone.
I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do and I miss her.
I miss her like crazy.
I realize that I love her a lot more than I love this house, and if selling this house makes her happy, then that's what I'm gonna do.
So that's about it, son.
That's--that's the ballgame right there.
What are you trying to do, trying to pick up the pace? I'm not trying to pick up nothing.
- Trying to race me? - Trying to get to the summit.
- You're trying to race me, huh? - You're slow.
Wanna play tortoise and the hare? - No.
Come on! - Huh? Come on! - Whoo! - Turning on the turbo boost.
I got it.
That was so wrong! Oh.
Honey, this is gorgeous.
- It's really beautiful.
- Really beautiful.
Wow.
This has been really nice.
It's been great.
Whoo.
I'm out of shape.
You okay? I just--I texted Julia earlier and I've been worried about her.
That's who I called when I got out of the hot tub.
Oh Look, I know she's a grown woman, she can take care of herself, and she doesn't need me there.
But I just feel like I needed to be there, so Yeah.
Good, okay.
You know what, we summited this, we did the hot tubbin', we had sex Uhhuh.
Twice.
- Twice.
- Yeah.
- It was twice.
- Oh, yeah.
I think we should go home.
You sure? Yeah.
I'm ready.
I love you.
I love you.
I still beat you.
- You know - Huh? - There's nobody around up here.
- No? Yeah.
If you wanna go for the trifecta.
Tell you what, let's take a quick picture for the Lessings, all right? - For the Lessings? - Yeah.
- Okay.
- You ready? - Yeah.
- Hey! All right.
Let's go.
Race you down! Oh, my hammy! Thanks for seeing me, especially on a Saturday, doc.
- No.
- Appreciate it.
So tell me what's going on.
I'm having trouble with this woman.
No, not a woman.
It's not a woman.
I mean, it's a woman, but it's a coworker is what it is.
- Okay.
- It's my superior On this job-- we're doing it together.
Sure.
And I guess-- I guess I edited some of her photos without letting her know.
You know, even though I made 'em better.
She even admitted that I made 'em better.
Mmhmm.
She's angry.
I mean, she's very angry.
I'm gonna stop you there.
That certainly sounds like a problem.
I wouldn't classify that as an emergency, which is what your message said.
- Yeah.
- Okay? Yeah, you're right.
You get one of these, Hank.
I didn't wanna wait till Monday.
I just-- Okay.
It sounds like you edited these photos without communicating with her.
- Yes.
- Is that-- - yes, I--yes, that's exactly what she said.
- Okay.
- That's what it is.
That's my problem, I guess.
What do I do? How do I, uh What do I say to make it better? Well, maybe the best place to start is with listening.
You know, when you're communicating-- - let me just--let me just, uh-- - Sure.
- I'm gonna--you know-- - When you're communicating with someone, you should look at them while they're talking.
That way they know that you're engaged in the conversation, that you care about what they have to say.
Right, right, like now.
I'm not looking at-- I mean, I'm looking here, but I don't look at-- I should look at you so you-- - sure.
- Yeah.
- Correct.
- Okay, go.
Okay, for example, when you're talking about her pictures, try to use positive statements, not just critical ones.
I did.
I told her they were very good.
I said positive things.
I'm sure of that.
Right, but since you went and changed them anyway, maybe you should offer an apology.
Say that you're sorry for making her angry.
Okay, yeah.
This is good.
This is good.
Could you--I mean, be specific? Just say it the way I would say it.
I won't use those words or-- Sure.
It's something for me to look at, you know? All right, you could say something like "I didn't understand that I shouldn't edit those photos "without talking with you.
I thought you would understand exactly what I was thinking.
" Yeah.
All right.
That's great.
That's good.
I didn't understand, and then the--say the first part again.
Just slow.
How good is this? You know, the best part is, this pizza place is, like, two blocks down, so we can order it anytime.
- Mm-hmm.
- The pepperoni's really good.
Yeah, sounds like a Saturday tradition, hmm? Like every Saturday? Well, yeah, any weekend you're--you're here.
So for tomorrow I was thinking either mini golf or we could do, um, what's that movie you-- - the one with the robots with the fighting? Yeah, yeah.
We're here all day tomorrow too? Yeah, bug.
I thought we were going home in the morning.
No.
No, I got you all weekend.
We're gonna have a-- a great time tomorrow.
Is there a movie you wanted to see? Is there--you know? I'm happy to-- I wanna go home.
I know you do, but we're here.
It's not fair.
I know, bug.
Can I have the last slice? - Yeah, buddy.
- Thanks.
Uh, just want to talk to you for a second.
I just got out of the shower.
Yeah, just gonna take a couple of minutes, that all.
Come in, just let me get dressed.
No, no, hold on, I just wanna just sit right here if you don't mind.
What? Can I put pants on? Just for one minute.
Just one minute.
I just wanna talk.
Sit down.
Um So I wanted to talk about the photos, the little dust-up we had back at the studio.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
So I just wanted to say that, uh, that I'm sorry that I made you angry.
Okay.
And, uh I, uh I didn't understand that I shouldn't edit the photos without talking to you.
And I, um--I thought you would understand exactly what I was thinking.
What is happening? I'm looking at you and I'm talking to you.
It's just like you're reciting something you memorized.
That's ridiculous.
I'm just talking to you.
I know, just talk to me in your normal voice.
It is my normal voice.
Oh, forget it.
Wh--what? The book--remember the book? The asperger's book? I'm seeing this guy about that stuff.
About how it's affecting my life.
And, uh, I'm not a people person.
I, uh, I'm not like Carl.
I never will be.
I don't know.
Sounded like a good idea at the office.
It's just I haven't been that good with you, and, uh I'm trying to do better.
- Hey, babe.
- Hey.
- What? - Nothing.
- Uh - You--you okay? Yeah, I just wanted to talk to you about something really quick.
- Okay.
- Um You know, I only say any of this because I love you very much, but You can't stay here like this.
Is This a Natalie thing? - No.
- Or-- - no, it's not that at all.
- Okay.
I mean, I thought you liked having me visit.
No, Amy, of course, I love having you visit, you know? I feel like you're kind of hiding from something.
- Hiding? - Yes, even last year.
Everything that happened.
You know, did you ever talk to anyone about that? Because all we had was each other And You ran off.
We never even talked about it.
You know, and I I ended up talking to my mom.
You told your mom I got the abortion? Yes, I told my mom.
I'm sorry.
- Drew.
- Okay? But it was so helpful.
It just feels so good to talk to someone who's not involved in it the same way.
You know? I think that you should talk to your parents.
Not even just about that, but about school, everything, you know? You need to--you need to tell them that.
The house and I are all alone Lonely house lonely me Oh, my God! - I don't mean to barge in - Hi.
But I got such a good bottle of wine.
I know it's good because I stole it from Carl.
And Chinese food because, you know, what cheers anybody up more than Chinese food? Not this music, I'll tell you that.
- Thank you.
- Whoo! I had Adele on earlier, so that was worse.
No, no, no, no, Adele is for sad times.
We're gonna--we're gonna rock this party.
- This looks really nice.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
Oh, my God.
Jules? Hi.
I thought you might want some company.
Oh! - Did you call each other? - Great minds, great minds.
You already have company.
I brought some yummy thai food - Oh, my God.
- And a bottle of much cheaper wine than that.
- Okay.
- I don't understand this.
What are you listening to? Is this the, um, "kill myself?" I'm trying to find something good.
Leave this to me, yeah.
Okay.
Get this out of here.
Do we want plates? Yeah, I'll just get--I'll get-- - There we go! That's some feel-good music.
Okay.
I vote for getting a little buzz on before we get into the carbs.
What do you say? Okay.
Just to enjoy a little face warm--numbing.
- Oh-- - Yeah, a little ear tingle.

I don't want to.
I don't--I don't wanna tell anybody else.
Well, I guess they are in the business of dirty laundry.
Whoo! You guys, I can't even look at mom and dad.
- Why? - It's just-- because I'm the black sheep.
I'm.
Of our family? Look who you're talking to.
- Okay, I'm like - At all.
A gray sheep.
You're not even on the spectrum of black sheep.
Think of all the stuff that the two of us have done to make mom and dad feel ashamed and embarrassed.
You go sleep with your nephew's behavioral aid - Yeah.

That's valid.
You haven't done anything of the sort.

Can you feel my forehead? He's turning into the hulk.
You know what he's coming down with? - Oh, I think I-- - Have you got a fever? I think I might be coming down with some fever! Come on.
That means I get to watch.
We can't let him do this by himself.

You know, tell 'em that Tufts wasn't what you thought it was gonna be and it's not for you.
And they're gonna understand.
