Parenthood s05e21 Episode Script

I'm Still Here

We had to rip it up to get to the mold.
I'd estimate around 12 grand.
$12,000 to get my family back in the house? Oh, hey, drew.
You looking for Natalie? Despite everything I've done, you're still here.
I don't want to push you away.
I like being around you too much.
I had some pretty rough times in middle school myself.
Not this rough.
We were talking about possibly starting our own school.
We want you to run our school.
Are we trying to get back together? No.
We're not working on our relationship right now.
Max.
You are a Nazi fascist with a crappy car that smells like jockstraps and burritos.
Nazi is a bit extreme.
I'm sorry that you're upset.
Max.
Max.
Sorry.
Whoa.
Max, I know you're upset, but you didn't finish your homework at the studio.
Okay.
No.
It doesn't matter because the average homework assignment is 25 word problems, but today, Mr.
wolpert, who is a balding ass-- - I'm sure.
I'm sure he is.
Assigned 35 problems, which is 10 too many.
And so I could not finish them in time.
Just take a breath.
And I don't care about the northbound train out of crestline station.
But you have to do your homework.
That's the plan.
Max! I am so sorry.
- That's okay.
Max, stop! I got it.
I got it.
It's okay.
I'm really sorry.
- Yeah, I know, I know.
You're frustrated, Max.
I get it.
Yes.
I'm very frustrated at the current situation.
She change the schedule on you? That's not cool.
- Well Yes, she did.
- Yeah.
That's not cool.
It is not cool.
- No.
They do that all the time.
Adults.
Right? - Yes.
The stupid, stupid crap they do.
But somehow you got to roll with it.
Studio time is 3:00 to 5:00.
I know.
You want the studio time.
Yes.
It is my right as a citizen.
Yeah, but one of the rules is the homework comes first.
Right? That's a rule.
So how about we do a plan b where you do the homework first, and then we do our thing? And if it takes 30 minutes, we'll do 30 minutes more studio time.
If it takes 40 minutes, then we'll do 40 minutes more studio time.
Deal? Deal.
- Okay.
That's how we'll do it.
I didn't mean to knock over your lamp.
No.
I know you didn't.
It's all right.
Uh - Thanks.
Should probably get an air freshener, right? For your car.
Yes.
It smells like jockstraps and burritos.
Thank you guys.
Wow.
You're like peas in a pod.
They're saying I've got to rip out the whole subfloor and re-do absolutely everything.
Each bid is worse than the last.
Every time they look at me, the price goes up.
And I've got to be honest with you, Joel.
I have a cash flow problem right now.
I have zero flow.
Yeah.
I see what's going on here.
You know that you have standing water in your crawl space? That's a type of what? - It's a type of water.
- Oh, you mean I have-- - it's just sitting.
- Oh, no.
You know what that's from? - No.
Huh? That's from the water heater I told you to move from the attic.
Do you remember that? Yes.
I do.
All it has to do is crack anywhere from here down to here.
You'll never know about it, and then it's just like Noah's ark.
Listen.
Hey.
If I could Marty mcfly it and go back and tell the younger version of myself to listen to you, I promise that I would.
I just--I need to know are these guys trying to screw me? Oh, yeah.
They're totally trying to screw you.
Yeah, you don't need to repatch the whole floor.
Oh! Really? Yeah.
Absolutely not.
- Okay.
Now this section here, yeah.
Probably up to that stud.
- Uh-huh.
And then it's just hardwood.
You know, resand it, restain it.
It's doable.
It's not a small job.
But But it's not a huge job.
Like, one guy or two could team up on it and knock it out, you think? Just roll their sleeves up and-- - yeah.
One guy.
One guy.
- One guy? Yep.
- Great.
And if he knew, like, somebody that was quick with hardwood floors would probably just jump on it.
Yeah, but you know, it's probably better for that one guy to head to home depot himself and then get on YouTube and then do it himself.
'Cause then he knows.
- Right.
Then he knows.
- And then it would also be smart just to double back with someone who knew the house inside and out probably.
Crosby.
What? Thought I was-- - that's work.
I'm so sorry.
- Yeah.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
- Yeah? You can take it.
- Hey--um.
Yeah.
- Yeah.
Hey, good luck, and let me know how it goes.
Yeah.
- All right.
Good luck on that phone call.
Yeah.
Hey-- - I'll just be here.
Hey.
- Hey.
How you doing? You stressing out? Yeah.
I'm just studying.
Are you seriously not gonna talk to me? I'm, like, three feet away.
You're seriously not gonna acknowledge that you slept with berto? Nothing? Drew, come on.
- What? No.
You're gonna tell me to relax again because we're in college, which obviously means something completely different to both of us, okay? I don't care.
You can hook up with my disgusting roommate.
Look.
I'm trying to study.
And I don't even care what you do.
You can do--whatever.
Don't give me that look.
All right? I'm studying 'cause I'm behind now.
And we have finals.
Well, I was just going to offer you my astronomy notes 'cause I've actually been to class lately.
But good luck.
This one's in our price range, but Yeah.
My goodness.
It's been empty for a while.
Hey, guys.
Sorry I'm late.
Hi.
Hey.
How are you? Good to see you.
- Good to see you.
Hi.
Hey.
Thanks for coming out.
Thanks for having me.
Hey.
Good to see you.
- Yeah.
All right.
Let's go inside.
Okay.
Okay.
A charming fixer.
Yep.
- That's a little generous.
I don't know.
- But Well.
- I kind of like it.
I feel like there's history here.
You do? - Yeah.
I see potential.
I see we could put up some partitions, four classrooms, assemblies, teachers, lunchroom.
A lot of windows.
Good passive solar.
- The price is right.
Really.
- Price is right.
High ceilings are pretty cool.
- Lots of square footage.
- This floor needs to come up-- - you could fit a lot of kids in here.
Paint.
- Yep.
It's got electricity.
See? Focus on the-- focus on the potential.
- I got it.
I got it.
- It's gonna require some work.
The Braverman academy.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
We can't call it that.
Why not? It'll go straight to Max's head.
He'll tell all the other kids it was named after him.
All right.
You know what I want to do? What? - I want to take a photo.
Come on.
- Okay.
Just right here? - Just right here.
Come over here.
Here.
I want to stand next to my husband.
Here.
Ready? - Okay.
Get together.
On the count of three.
Ready? One, get closer.
- Two.
- Okay, I'm closer.
- Two, three.
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 I know it looks a little, like, depressing right now.
But I feel like if we just paint it, maybe, like, a blue or something.
- I finished my essay.
- Like a light blue.
- Good job.
- Let's check it out.
It's finished.
It is done.
It's a half a page, Max.
I met all the minimum requirements.
You live in Berkeley.
You can't take a stand against recycling and do just the minimum.
- You have to do more than that.
- I just did.
- I just did that.
- Keep writing.
And I made very compelling arguments.
Well, let me take a look at it.
Such as the fact that using a reusable water bottle is better than recycling a bunch of plastic water bottles.
- Yes.
This is Kristina.
- Hi.
I'm Michelle chambers, Gwen's sister.
Oh, hey.
Hey, Michelle.
How are you? Well, I'm here.
Staying with Gwen.
She wanted me to call you.
You know, she's talked so much about you, ever since you met in chemo.
You mean so much to her.
Well, you know, Gwen's my girl, so Is everything--is she-- I mean, what-- - Kristina, I think it's time to come see her.
Okay.
Should I try to make drew sweet and sour ham balls? - Gross.
- No.
Make him this.
Salmon pasta bake.
It's total brain food.
It's tomatoes and broccoli, antioxidants.
Sounds like a lot of ingredients.
What about harvest stew? Doesn't that sound like something Martha Stewart would make, like-- - I slept with someone.
- What? What? - I slept with someone.
- Shut up.
- Evan knight.
- Who? The teacher.
He was at the record release party.
- Are you serious? - Yeah.
This is blowing my mind.
- With the glasses and the thing? - Yes.
It was a completely just in the moment thing, - do you know him? - And I just--I don't know.
- Not at the party? - I was talking to him.
I was talking to him at the party, and we had this instant, and I just felt something that I've not felt in a long time for anybody other than Joel.
And I just wanted to-- - and you did.
- And I did.
Look at you.
And I feel really bad about it now.
- Don't feel bad.
- But it's not-- you're in a very weird time.
You never do stuff like this.
Oh, my God, but Sarah, this is not what I do.
- This is not who I am.
- It's okay.
I can count on one hand the guys that I have slept with.
- One hand? - You knew this.
Come on.
High School, Gary glasman.
- College, Chris mollo.
- Oh, my God.
Joel.
Evan knight.
It's about time you added to the count.
Are you kidding me? I'm in love with my husband.
- I know.
I've been working so long to kind of make something happen there with us.
And he's just been so unavailable to me.
And I just--I needed to do something.
Julia, it makes total sense, and it is okay, and you didn't do anything wrong.
Do you want to see him again? I mean, is it that kind of-- well, I have to see him again 'cause we're working together.
All right.
Well, tell him it was a one-night thing if that's what you want.
Is that what you want? Yeah.
I think so.
I mean, yeah.
I wouldn't tell Adam and Kristina, though, - because-- - Oh, my God.
- Max, teacher, Crosby thing.
- Crosby? It's their fault.
They should not hire such attractive people.
Okay? - It's okay.
It's okay.
- Oh, no.
It's okay.
I mean, I told him so many times when he moved in, "replace it.
Go tankless.
" But does he listen? No.
Not until his floorboards are rotting.
I mean, I'm more than a little busy here.
Yeah, you are.
Did he just come out - and ask you outright? - No.
He's definitely fishing, though, like, with a trawler.
- Yeah.
That's tacky.
- Yeah.
I mean, it's a pattern.
He knows I'm family, and if he keeps pushing, eventually I'll just cave and do it.
So Joel, why don't you just get your toolbox and head over there? What? Why? Because you're going to do it eventually.
You might as well get it over and done with.
Ah.
Yeah.
'Cause I'll feel guilty otherwise? No.
Because you're a family man.
'Cause it's what matters to you.
It's probably why you haven't responded to me.
God knows I've given you enough signals.
Okay.
That got real.
Let's go back to work, yeah? - Yeah.
Yeah.
- Yep.
Hello.
Hi.
I'm glad you're here.
You didn't answer my text.
- Hey.
- What are you doing here? - I'm bringing you the latest craze.
It's the juice craze meets the cupcake craze.
Put together-- - you told me juicing's bad.
- In a kale.
Well, you can't live on juice all day.
But look, it has broccoli brittle on top.
- Well, thank you, mom.
- I thought it would be a healthy-- - drew, this is just getting ridiculous, man.
We need-- - hey.
Oh, hi, Ms.
Braverman.
Hi! Do you-- - Um-- no, you know what? I'll just, um-- I'll talk to you later, drew.
It was nice seeing you.
Nice to see you.
- Bye.
What is going on there? - Nothing.
- Don't nothing me.
- It's a long story, mom.
I don't want to talk about it.
Should you offer her a cupcake? I will.
Thank you.
- Let's try them.
Sarah.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Hank.
- What's--what are you doing? What am I doing here? Drew goes to school here.
I was visiting him.
What are you doing here? I got a thing.
- I'm shooting the provost.
- Oh, yeah, you do.
- Oh.
- Whatever.
You know, some staff crap.
Apparently some kids tried to shoot it last year.
It didn't work out.
So, yeah, here I am.
It's so weird to see you here.
- It's funny, right? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
It's weird.
- So That's crazy.
So I hope it goes well.
Well, that's it? Um, I mean It's just, you know, I was wondering if you had any thoughts about The other day, I kind of Kind of opened the vault.
All the feelings came out.
- I think it was Thursday.
- It was Thursday.
- Any - I have lots of thoughts, but do you really want to talk about it now? No.
I get it.
- There's kids going by.
- You don't want to rush into-- - You got work.
I mean, yeah, I know.
It's like an egg, right? Like when you boil an egg.
You can't-- it's not gonna go any faster if you look at it.
Some--I don't know where I'm going with that.
I think we're ready for you now.
Okay.
All right.
I've got to do the thing.
- I'll call you later, okay? - Yeah.
All right.
Uh We're gonna start on the bench, I think.
Everybody down here.
I'm gonna go sit with her for a second.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Hey.
Your sister said that you could use some company, and I know that I could sure use some girl time, so I thought I'd stop by and say hi.
I have so much to tell you.
My gosh, um The school stuff is going great.
You know, we started to look at properties, and we actually, we found one, which is-- which is really cool because it's this really old office building, and Adam doesn't love it.
I can tell.
But I love it.
I fell in love with it the second I saw it.
Needs some paint, some t.
L.
C.
But I think it's very promising.
It has potential, for sure.
I'm blabbering.
I am completely blabbering.
If you want me to shut up, you can just-- you can just say so, and I'll stop talking.
Trying to give me the finger? I think this place is gonna be really great, you know, for Max, for so many other kids.
It's just, uh I'm really excited about it.
Think it'll be something that can live on for-- I want to say thank you.
I don't think I could have done any of this without your help.
I don't want to let you go.
I love you.
Okay, so, I spoke to the listing agent.
- Yeah.
- They have an offer.
- They do? - Yeah.
- Serious? - A serious offer.
Cash offer.
It's that huge developer, drider, so Well, we can hope maybe it'll fall through.
Doesn't matter.
We're not too late.
We can get it.
Oh.
I know we can get it.
It could fall through, but this is a pretty-- I think they're going to accept it.
If the city owns it, we can lease it back from the city.
Right, but look, honey, if the sale ends up going through, we'll just find another place.
- I know.
But they haven't bought it yet.
So the city owns it.
We can lease it from the city.
It's not a big deal.
We absolutely could if they didn't have this buyer.
But they haven't-- that's mommy's building.
We're gonna get that building.
All right.
Well, we'll see what happens.
We're gonna get that building.
Now? - Mm-hmm.
Ah.
Come on.
Oh.
Okay.
I hope that's right.
- Yeah? - Hello.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Wait, wait, wait.
What are you doing? Stop.
Stop.
- I'm removing the subfloor.
- Yeah.
Don't--no-- let me just--watching you hold the saw like that offends me.
Just let me, uh - See what you're working with.
- Okay.
I'm backing away.
- What do you got going on here? - That's the subfloor.
I'm Yeah.
Yeah, we don't need to cut that anymore.
- I'm just gonna - Yep.
Yep.
Is that not right? - No.
We're gonna have to reinforce that.
I'm pretty sure.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
We? Yeah.
You know, between the two of us You positive? - We'll knock it out.
In a couple days--yeah, buddy.
- You swear? I swear.
Joel, I cannot thank you enough.
I'm in so, so over my head.
I really--this is--thank you.
I owe you so big-time.
You ever want to record an album, you come see me.
It's on the house.
- Finally.
I'm your guy.
- You're my man.
Good to know.
All right.
Hand me that crowbar.
We'll see how far this rot goes.
Okay.
You should know I've already cut a few of these, though.
Yeah.

Julia.
- Hey.
Hi.
Hi, Evan.
This is spontaneous.
I like it.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.

Would you like to come inside? - No.
That's good.
- Okay.
- So the other night - The other night.

- Nice? But, clearly, I got ahead of myself.
Okay.
So even though we had a--it was-- - nice.
We just can't do it-- that Again.
I'm going through A really difficult time with my marriage.
It's okay.
I understand.
I do.
I don't want you to feel like I was taking advantage of you.
Taking advantage of me? That's not--come on.
- Yeah.
That's not what--no.
Julia, you are an amazing, beautiful, incredibly sexy woman.
Okay? You were not taking advantage of me.
We were--we were just-- we were having fun.
That's all.
Yeah.
We--yeah.
We had fun.
Okay.
I wasn't just having fun.
I really needed to break free.
So I'm glad I got to break free with you.
Me too.
Good.
- Good.
Can you not tell Adam and Kristina? Absolutely not.
- Okay, thank you.
- Absolutely not.
I think that would be weird.
Yeah.
Might be strange.
Good.
- So, we're good.
We're good.
- Okay.
We're good.
Okay.
Thank you.
That was-- I'll I'll see you later.
Yep.
- Okay.
Hey.
She's gone.
Oh, Kristina.
I'm sorry.
I I don't know.
I mean, I just--the last conversation I had with her, just I guess When I went to see her, you know, it wasn't really a conversation because I was rambling about everything.
About my life, about you, about the kids, about just everything, you know.
I don't even know if she could hear me.
Just Was she scared? You know.
Did she feel alone? And I'm still here, you know? I'm allowed to hold the kids.
I'm allowed to be a mom.
I'm allowed to be a wife.
And I can be a friend and a sister and a daughter.
But she's not.
Why do I get to be here? Why do I get to be lucky and she doesn't? You can't ask that.
It's not right.
- It's not right.
And I'm mad.
- That's okay.
I'm mad.
- It's okay.
It's okay.
You can be mad.
You can be angry.
It's okay.
It's not fair.
It was just really sweet.
He was really expressive, which is hard for him.
You know, he had clearly thought about everything he'd been feeling, and he really put it out there.
He's sort of waiting for my response, I guess.
Huh.
And, I mean, he's been in therapy.
And you can tell.
I mean, you can tell 'cause you can see the wheels turning.
You can see he's really been working on certain things.
You know? - Mm-hmm.
But it's sweet.
And we've had a great time this year, for the most part, working together.
That shows commitment to Trying to make it work, right? Yeah.
It's a big deal.
- Yeah.
Mmhmm.
Well, how do you feel about him? I don't know all the time.
I haven't really thought about what it would be like to be intimate again with him.
Mmhmm.
And I'm not sure why that is.
If there's a wall there because-- - you're worried 'cause he might be on the spectrum.
Yeah.
Because I can feel it sometimes.
It's like another person with us, you know.
But sometimes I forget about it and Look, Sarah.
I can't promise you that the guy can love you the way that you want to be loved, but I just have to root for him.
When he's with Max, he's real present, and he cares about him.
He really does.
I've got to hope that he's capable of having a relationship, that there's somebody for Hank.
'Cause I would like to think that there could be somebody for Max.
Yeah.
Me too.
- So I mean, look, you know.
You could do a lot worse.
I've done a lot worse.
Let's face it.
Well, I didn't want to say that.
But, you know, you have.
- Hello.
Hey.
He's here, nice and relaxed today.
All right.
We like him that way.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll see you guys later, okay? All right.
Thanks.
Hello? What do you got? The long exposures, Max? I took photos of cars coming down my street from all of the front-facing windows of my house.
Nice.
My longest exposure was 23 seconds.
I'm paying the bills over here.
You want to switch? - No.
That sounds unpleasant.
I can do better than this.
Come on.
Amber is sitting on the pavement outside of your store.
What do you mean? You all right? What happened? What did you do? Did you fall down? You want to come inside for a second? I have to go.
- Where are you going? I have to go.
- What happened? There was an accident at-- - with who? Ryan was in an accident, and I have to go.
Is he okay? - I don't know.
I have to go.
- Where are you gonna go? He's in San Diego, and I have to go there now.
Well, now, you can't go to San Diego-- - I have to go, Hank! - Let me call your mother.
Why don't I call your mother and-- - I have to go now! - You can't drive like-- - I don't have time, Hank.
- Just for one second, take a breath for a second.
Hank, I do not have any time! I can drive you.
You want me to drive you? You don't have to drive me.
I just have to go.
- I'm gonna drive you.
Give me the keys.
Get over there.
I'm gonna close up.
Max! This is, uh This is very interesting.
You know, you coming to see me.
It's interesting.
Well, I believe that, you know, this school can be very interesting.
It's a--you know, it's a passion project for us, and I think it'll help a lot of kids and families.
That's why I'm here.
I need your help.
I really do.
You realize that drider property and this city do a ton of business together.
They are a huge generating revenue source for us.
Yes.
- They fund a ton of projects.
I get it, Bob.
I understand.
Mr.
drider is a great developer.
He's a great contractor.
He takes old historic buildings.
He knocks them down, and he puts a pizza hut and taco bell and pizza taco bell chicken wing.
Whatever it is-- - Kristina.
Which I happen to love and frequent, I do.
But this building, I think it's gonna help so many people.
So what do you want me to do? You want me to lease this to you because-- - yes.
I do.
I want you to lease it to me.
I want you to lease it to me because I feel like-- - because it has a higher purpose? Kristina, you've got to give me something to bite on.
Maybe.
It does.
It has a higher purpose, Bob.
It has a higher purpose.
And you know what? By helping us, you're gonna help yourself look good.
You're gonna look really good.
And I know how much you like to look good.
So, Bob, this is a win-win for both of us, I think.
I can't make any promises, Kristina, because the wheels are already in motion on this.
But I'll look into it.
You'll look into it? Kristina, what do you want me to say to you? Nothing.
That's per-- that's great.
Thank you.
- Kristina.
No, it's good.
Well, I'm telling you I will look-- - one thing, Bob.
I just want to say this.
Don't do this for me.
Don't do this for you.
Just do it because maybe it's the right thing to do.
It's really that simple.
Still protecting the magic feather hold tight to your supporting crutch writing scripts on worn out leather still waiting on a divine touch try to ride on waves of activity in every direction in every direction in every direction Surgery? For what? The doctor has to talk to you directly.
But I don't even know-- is he--I mean, is he gonna be okay? We don't have any information.
You'll just have to wait till he comes out of the O.
R.
I'm so sorry.
So there's nothing that you can tell me at all? Not at this time.
So, um we'll just wait right here? - Just have a seat.
- We'll wait right here.
I think if it would have been serious, then they have to tell you, you know.
This is so frustrating.
- Yeah, I know.
Hank, you know, you don't have to stay.
No.
I'm gonna stay.
I'm gonna stay.
- Is your mom here? - Ha ha.
No, she's not here.
All right.
Let's do this.
You asked why I slept with berto.
- I didn't even ask that.
- I was pissed at you, okay? So you went and slept with berto.
Just please let me get this out.
It still doesn't make sense.
Look.
I know our entire thing was Loose or whatever.
And fine.
I take responsibility for it.
It was my idea.
- Yeah.
But that doesn't mean that I didn't like you.
And then, all of a sudden, Amy comes to town, and you guys have all this history.
And she's so intimidatingly beautiful, and she's smart, and she's sweet.
And she, like, moves in here with you.
And it's like you're married for a month and I don't hear from you, and you disappear, and And I guess I just felt forgotten.
So I was pissed, and I went and I slept with your stupid roommate.
But it wasn't about berto.
It was always about you.
And trust me, I really wish I hadn't done it.
Okay.
Okay? Yeah.
Well, it's finals primal scream tonight, if you want to come yell at me.
Um I wasn't gonna go to that, but-- - suit yourself.
- So they're out of there.
- They're selling the house.
Yeah.
Can you believe that? Zeek Braverman is selling his house? Yeah.
It's like the foreshadowing of the apocalypse.
Yeah.
Raining frogs or the cubs winning the world series.
It's scary.
How is, uh How's Julia doing with that? Well, she's, uh, she's pretty darn busy.
I don't know if you know that Adam and Kristina are starting this charter school, and she's been working on that with them, so Yeah.
Yeah.
She mentioned something about that.
Think she's been distracted probably with that.
Adam and Kristina starting a school-- I guess that was bound to happen, right? Ugh.
You know, they're so obnoxiously good, those two.
It's so in your face.
It's just the worst.
- We're starting a school.
- It's disgusting.
Trying to better the city and now this.
That's a good floor, man.
Yeah? I would not have that good floor without you, so It's also spore-free in there.
There you go.
- Yeah.
Feel free to take deep, deep breaths.
This is a great house, man.
I'm so glad you guys are happy here.
Yeah.
We are.
This has-- it's been a good place.
How are you doing? I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Maintaining.
You know.
- Yeah.
Cheerleading for the kids.
I don't know.
I feel like I'm in this limbo of sorts.
You know, I visit my old life, and I get these little pieces, but, uh Yeah, I don't-- I don't recommend it.
Well, we all miss you a ton, so Thanks, buddy.
All right.
Tell me about the baby.
You haven't heard? Baby got into Stanford.
Jeez.
- Pre-enrolled.
That's how advanced she is.
Actually, she's not very advanced.

What are you doing? The things you do for, like, the hundred-- - hey.
- Hi.
Okay.
So maybe you were right.
I was right? No! Okay, but I was mad.
Maybe I need to just yell about it and feel better.
Now! Yell! Aah! - Aah! Oh, gosh.
I don't want to just be friends, you know.
I don't want to sleep around with a bunch of people.
I want you to be my girlfriend.
- Yes.

Oh.

She's okay? - Yeah.

She's all right.
How was the drive? Yeah.
It was okay.
No big deal, I'm-- - Hank, it's a really long drive.
It's a very big deal.
Thank you.
She was scared, you know? So, uh tried to talk a little bit, and then I just kept driving.
But it's all okay.
How is he? He's in surgery.
- Oh, my God.
Yeah, but I think he's gonna be okay.

Hi.
Is everything okay? You're picking up the kids today, right? Yeah.
Yeah.
No, no.
Sorry.
I was on my way to the site, and I just-- I know the dishwasher's still quitting mid-cycle, so I thought I'd swing by and give it a stab.
Oh, thanks.
I fixed it.
I mean-- - oh.
Yeah, it was Leaking all over the floor.
I couldn't wait, so I called a plumber.
Cool.
- But thank you so much.
Shoot.
- Yeah.
No problem.
Um I hear your family's selling the house yeah.
Yeah.
End of an era.
How you feeling about that? I mean, I know that place means a lot to you.
Uh I'm okay.
I never really thought of it as property, you know.
It was just always home, so it's a little weird.
Yeah.
- I mean, until this home.
But, um, I'm glad for them.
They want to move on, so Yeah.
How did you hear? Crosby told me.
I was over at his house patching up a hole in the-- - oh, no.

You know that, right? - No, I know.
I don't want you to feel obligated to-- - yeah, and I don't.

You too.
Who's ready for mold-free living at its finest? Whoohoo! Look at these new hardwood floors, buddy.
Awesome.
Pop off your shoes.
I bet you can slide with those socks from the door all the way to the kitchen.
Come on.
I want to see this.
It's gonna be awesome.
Come on! - Whoo! Aren't those glorious? I put these in myself.
I mean, you know.
Hey, baby.
We are home.
Just a tiny bit of help from Uncle Joel, just a little bit.
Hmm.
Did he mention if there's gonna be any other leaks in the house? You know, truth be told, he may have mentioned that there was a potential for a leak with the hot water heater.
It was a learning experience, though.
Now I know how to lay hardwood floors.
- That's right.
Thinking about putting a deck on the back of the house, maybe, like, a bi-level.
No.
No.
- Hey.
I did get us home.
You did.
Are you excited, mama? I had to read the hungry caterpillar one more time to get her to bed.
My brain was gonna explode.
She loves that book.
You all right? What's this? It's from Gwen.
Her sister sent it, and I don't really-- I don't know if I want to open it.
Would it help if we opened it together? Yeah.
- Okay.
Card.
Read the card.
Oak tree.
"It's going to be a great school.
Enjoy the ride.
Love, Gwen.
" It's very generous, huh? Yes.

Well, I think we have the name of our new school.
