Parenthood s06e11 Episode Script
Let's Go Home
We should get married.
Oh.
I love you.
I am fighting for you.
And I am fighting for our marriage.
We need to sign the papers, Joel.
Is this what you want? I just got off the phone with the insurance company.
The numbers really worked out in our favor.
How would you feel if I walked away from the Luncheonette? I've thought it over, and I don't wanna cash out.
Your heart, Zeek, is just not as strong.
We'll make the decision, you and me.
Jeez.
Argh.
Oh, God.
Oh, boy.
Okay.
That's right.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Millie! Millie! Millie! You bellowed, my darling? Yeah.
Would you do me a favor, would you? Would you climb up here and get my shoebox for me? What on earth for? Because it's got my Reggie Jackson baseball in it, and I wanna give it to my great-grandson when he's born.
Zeek.
Or great-granddaughter, fine.
Come on.
No! But you love that ball.
Whichever it is.
God, I've only heard the story a hundred thousand times.
April 4th, 1972.
Careful.
That's right.
You were sitting in section G, when all of No, sitting in J.
Section J.
Well, you talked about the day more than you talked about our wedding day.
Why would you wanna give the ball to a baby? Not a baby.
It's our great-grandchild.
Come on.
Not just an ordinary baby.
Zeek, you know, we're gonna have to have a discussion, um, about what the doctor said.
We gotta have it, you know? About the next step.
Yeah.
Right, I know that.
Okay.
Baseball's not here.
It's the wrong box.
Yeah, but what are these? I have no idea.
What the hell did I do with my baseball? What could these be? Oh, my God.
I swear I put it up there.
Can you believe those jackasses took the Janis Joplin picture? Yeah.
Yep, yep, she was our spirit animal.
I got so sick of looking at this empty wall though that I went out and procured us something.
Cros, just slow down.
Let's, let's talk about this, all right? Are you sure you wanna go ahead and try to make the Luncheonette work? I am 100% positive.
You know who else is? These guys! Look at these two idiots about to jump into the deep end.
First day? Uh-huh! One guy doesn't even know what reverb is.
That's you.
Right here.
The other guy doesn't know how to run a business.
That's me.
Three years later, I still don't know how to run a business, but despite that I get to come to a place I love every single day, because I have the greatest partner in the world.
Well, it's been a hell of a ride.
That's for sure.
That's right, sure has.
Rocky and turbulent and it's just getting started, because like our spirit animal says, "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.
" And we officially have nothing left to lose, so Uh, you got that right.
I can feel the mojo coming back right now just looking at this, right? Yeah! Phew! I don't think you need to do that anymore.
I think that looks good.
Hey.
Yeah.
Can we talk about the thing? What? The what thing? The giant tomato in the room? Well, it's an elephant.
We both know that.
Well I've learned that.
To me, now it's a tomato.
It's What? What about What? Yeah, I said Was that for real, I mean? What do I I said everything.
You said, you know, blurted out a proposal, uh, outside of the ER.
And then we never talked about it again.
Yeah, yeah.
And I just feel like, is it one of those things where, you know, everything was high pressure, and nobody had slept, and my dad, and, you know, like, when you have Feel like a plane's going down, you just blurt out things you don't really mean.
No, I mean, why Why would you think that? Because it seemed very unplanned and Well, so what? Why does it have to be planned? Because, oh, I don't know, it's the rest of your life? I don't What do you want me to say? You want me to I can't say it again.
I I said it.
I said everything I wanted to say.
I said I love you and I I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.
And I want you.
I want you richer or poorer, better or worse, the whole wedding enchilada.
It was high pressure and it was emotional.
It may not have been the right place, but I meant it.
I meant every word of it.
If there's a tomato, it's in your hands now, the tomato.
Hey.
Hey.
Everything okay? Yeah, um Joel What are we doing? Yeah, I know.
It's been on my mind a lot.
I didn't wanna press with, you know, with your dad.
But, yeah, we should get together and talk.

I'm sure about this.
Yeah, just Mmm-hmm.
Mom? Mom, why's the door locked? This is confusing.
Get Hide.
Um, the door's locked because I am looking for my robe, sweetheart.
And let me find it.
So as soon as I find my robe, um, then you can come in, which is right now.
Hi.
So, what's up? Mom, I left my flute at Dad's.
Okay.
Well, what And I need it for band today.
Good.
Well, we will go by his house on the way to school.
No, we won't.
We will have Dad drop it off at school for you.
Okay.
I'll text him.
Okay? No, no, I can, uh Oh, I can text him for you.
Can I? I can call him for you if you want.
I'm faster.
Okay.
Great.
Uh, that was my phone, huh? You don't have any texts.
Look, it was my phone.
That was Dad telling you that he'll be there.
He'll bring it.
And it's perfect.
His message has a lot of typos.
Yeah, he must be in a rush, which we are, too.
Let's get you off to school.
No, we're not.
Yeah, we are.
Let's Look, I'm completely ready.
I have my coat on.
And shoes.
Did you eat breakfast? Yes? Yes.
Hey.
Mom, Dad.
What are you doing here? Hey.
Hi.
Well Look what we got.
What've you got? We got a project for my grandson.
Where is he? Uh.
Hey, Max.
What kind of project? Well, I think one that you're gonna be interested in.
How old are these? Well, nobody knows.
Why don't you tell me? Yeah.
Your grandpa likes to throw things in shoeboxes and then forget about them, so A shoebox is a terrible place to keep film.
They should be kept somewhere cool and dry.
That was stupid, Grandpa.
Can I have extra screen time in order to find out what year these are from? Oh, I vote yes on that.
All right, saved by the grandmother.
Fifteen minutes and then you gotta go to school.
Grandpa! I'll I'll go.
Yeah.
The mysterious film.
Hey, uh, listen, can I talk to you for a sec? Yeah.
Your mother told me about the break-in.
She wasn't supposed to do that.
We didn't wanna stress you out.
Oh, really? Well, you kids not telling me stuff stresses me out more than that.
So what's going on? I'm sorry, but everything's fine.
Okay? Eh, everything's fine.
It's all good.
It's all good.
Yeah.
It's all good.
You know, why am I not convinced here, it's all good? Dad, it's fine, it's just that with the All right, you don't want me to hold anything back from you? Oh, man.
You never could lie to me.
Yeah, well.
Come on, Adam.
All right, I want out of the Luncheonette.
Out of the business? You know, it's been so hard recently for us to turn any profit.
We're just getting deeper and deeper into debt.
And I felt like this insurance money could liberate us, that it's enough for us just to have a clean break.
And I just wanna move on and figure out what I wanna do next.
What I wanna do with my life.
But I can't, because this is It's Crosby's dream.
That's what's going on.
Well, Crosby's old enough to know that dreams get put on hold, you know? Yeah, this wouldn't be putting it on hold, Dad.
This would be killing it.
Destroying it.
The Luncheonette would be over and Crosby would be crushed.
Anyway.
That's been on my mind, but Well, you gotta do what's best for your family, son.
Right? He's my family.
He's my little brother.
Crosby's turned into quite a man, you know? He's surprised a lot of us.
Yeah.
Yeah, he can handle this.
I think it's time that you let it go.
That you gotta do what's What's right for you, son.
Give me that thing.
This is "H2", why do you want "H2"? What do you mean? You know, this is not a piece, "H2" doesn't go.
I'll just jam it in there, fine.
We don't even get to "H2" until There Ah! Mom! Wait.
Oh, my God.
Even if we put this together right, I am too scared to put my child in it.
No, this is gonna work.
You jammed it in too far.
You can't even No, no, no! This is like ridiculous.
This is so ridiculous! Hey! Hey! This thing is so stupid.
Screw this! It's typical.
It's a typical Dad thing to do, to like, send something and try to get the credit and then actually stick us with all of the hard work.
Like not Not be helpful at all.
Just like with everything of his entire life.
Sorry you didn't have a A better dad.
It's times like this when it's really No, Mom.
It's not It's not your fault either.
I'm I'm just stressed, because it's hard to do all this stuff alone.
And And I'm basically bringing a child into the world to do everything alone as well.
You made a decision and we don't know that Ryan won't be there.
You're trying to stand up for yourself and make sure he's healthy.
If he comes around, then we'll figure it out.
And then we'll hire somebody to put this crib together.
Hey, Cros.
Can we talk for a second? Hey.
Yeah, man.
There's some nice stuff in here.
This 1176? Oh, yeah? Analog display.
Look how sweet that is.
Yeah, that looks pretty cool.
Yeah, I'm almost excited we got robbed.
Hey, can you, uh, set that aside for a second? 'Cause I've been doing some pretty serious thinking.
A lot of thinking.
Uh-huh.
About our future and You know, I really think the best thing for us to do here is to fold.
Okay, so you wanna close the business up again? I do.
Look, it's been great here.
But I think it's what's best for both of us.
It's not what's best for me.
Well, it feels like that's what's best for me.
I have loved working with you.
You know that.
I wouldn't trade these last years for anything.
It was great.
I just feel like I wanna get out from under.
And I think it's the responsible and Yeah.
Yeah.
It's the right thing to do.
I'm sorry.
I totally understand.
Um You have a family, and I have a family.
So Yeah, don't Don't feel bad about it.
You know, we had a good run.
We had a good run.
Yeah.
And maybe this is just what we needed to move on.
Hey.
Oh, hi.
What're you doing? Uh, uh I thought you had a job.
It said on the schedule.
Yeah, it got canceled.
I mean, not that I didn't wanna see you.
But I was not planning.

I mean Thank you.
That's all you need? Uh, so far, yeah.
All right.
So, I know, um Yeah, I know.
But, uh, that's all right.
I'm just taking my time.
I know.
You gotta weigh it all.
A lot of reasons to say no.
I get that.
It's not even like that.
It's not like a list or anything.
What if it was? What's the, like, some of the What would be on the list? What's some of the If there was a list of pros and cons? Yeah, what's the reasons for no? What would Oh, I don't It's not like Give me, uh Top three.
I just, you know, it's all the stuff we talked about.
It's like, do we communicate? Yeah, I know.
And can we grow together? I'm working on 'em.
I mean, you know that.

What is that for? It focuses the It focuses it on your abs.
It doesn't help anything.

It helps you focus.
So, finish the story, though.
The kids saw him, or they didn't see him? Didn't see him.
I'm so glad they didn't see him.
I'm hiding the father of my children from my children.
Wow.
How does that feel? I don't know.
It feels crazy but it feels like it's the right thing to do.
What are you guys gonna do? We're gonna weigh it out.
We're gonna make sure that something So how long do you wait before you know something Just until you've weighed everything out and you And then we'll know and we'll do it.

Well, yeah.
He has We haven't talked about it since.
So you know, is that the rest of my life? I mean, I love him but it's, uh He's complicated and Mmm-hmm.

You wanna weigh it out.
I just don't wanna make a mistake.
You wanna I know, okay.
Yes.
We're not 20 years old.
We have children to think of.
Yeah.
What do you recommend? We make a list of pros and cons.
We're going to list reasons to marry Hank.
No! Reasons not to marry Hank.
That feels so not romantic.
But you just said you wanna make a practical decision.
This is the way to do that.
Okay, do you have paper and a pen? I have.
Oh, man, I always forget.
Okay.
The pros.
Uh, pros.

I'm sorry.
It was nice.
Nice? It was nearly a disaster.
The kids, I mean, Joel, we've put them through so much.
We just can't confuse them.
We can't give them false hope.
Okay.
I'm sorry, would it be false hope? I don't know that.
Okay.
'Cause, I guess, in that case, after last night, I guess I was having a little bit of false hope myself.
Okay, Joel.
No.
There's hope.
We just have to do a lot of work.
Yes! Yes.
And I'm in.
Okay.
I'm ready.
Whatever it takes.
Well, good.
We just We have to do that before we can tell the kids.
Okay.
Because we have to come to the other side of this thing and know that we can make it.
If we don't make it, it's just too much for them.
We can't Honey.
Yeah.
I love you.
And I'm in.
Whatever it is, we will work it out.
Good.
Okay.
So For instance, what about Chris? Sorry, what about I thought that was over.
That is over.
But I work with him.
Uh-huh.
And I'm not really in a position to quit my job.
I mean, I don't want to quit my job.
I like my job.
I like my clients and my cases and Yeah.
I feel good about myself there.
I guess, um, yeah, I guess I'll just I guess I'll just have to deal with it.
Okay, and what about me? Well, you're a You're a hot mess.
That's Listen, I'm serious.
We know that.
I've been very emotional lately with my dad Yes.
And previously.
And I've not always thought logically.
Okay, I know.
Listen, we're both emotional right now, but when have you not thought clearly? Two years ago, I was not thinking clearly.
I was pretty much unraveling and you left.
Yeah, that's not gonna happen again.
Good, but I can't tell you that it won't happen again, that I'll be I don't know.
I know that I was hard to live with.
I realize that it was rough.
Honey, I will tell you this as many times as you need me to.
I will never leave you again.
I will never leave you.
Ugh! Bingo! What is all this stuff? This, grandson, is what 72 years of memories looks like.
All right, so what are we looking for? We are looking for a baseball in a shoebox.
Baseball.
Well, there are shoeboxes everywhere, but I can I know.
Oh, boy.
We got our We got our work cut out for us, don't we? Oh, God.
Old shoes and what not.
Are you okay? Oh, man.
Yeah.
Well, I've felt better, if you know what I mean.
Yeah.
Um Hey, Grandpa.
I just wanna say that I'm so sorry about ruining the trip to France.
Oh, gosh.
I really am.
I did not mean to do that, you know? That's just all I can think about.
When you had the heart attack, it's just like You know, what if What if I lost you, and I didn't And you were mad at me.
Oh, man.
I don't even know how I would have been able to live with that.
And I'm just I really am so sorry and Oh, grandson.
Come on.
Tying yourself in knots over this.
Come here a minute.
I'm sorry.
Hey.
Grandpa, I really am.
Come on.
Gosh, Drew.
It's okay.
I mean, I was I was scared, you know? When that happens, the last thing you're gonna hold on to is anger, for anybody or anything.
Right? Yeah.
I don't like thinking about it, though.
Well, I don't either.
But I mean, it's gonna happen.
And when it does happen, I can guarantee I'm probably gonna be pissed off at somebody.
I don't know.
Yeah, probably.
Heck, it might even be you.
But you know the crazy thing is, is that, the anger that you feel is usually for the people you love the most.
All right? Yeah.
When Adam and Crosby were kids, they used to make me so angry.
They're just running around, screaming and yelling.
I couldn't get 'em to shut up.
I mean, it was like I wanted to kill them.
No, I mean, and that's not a metaphor.
I really wanted to kill them.
Right? Mmm-hmm.
I mean, they'd be running around, they'd be screaming and You all right? Oh, my gosh.
Are you okay? Yeah, I just I just remembered, they wanted to play with my baseball so I hid it from them.
And I know where I put it.
God.
I remember where I put it.
That scared me, Grandpa.
I had, like, a What do you mean, like an epiphany? An epiphany! Yeah.
Grandson, you gotta take me home.
Okay? Okay.
Let's go.
Attaboy.
Thank you! You need help? Yeah, just a little bit there.
Good, good.
According to my research, this roll is from the mid to late 1980s.
Which means I will not be in it, as I was not yet born.
I was.
I was in my 20s then.
Traveling all over the world.
Just getting started as a photojournalist.
It's also not likely that I will see my mom either.
But I will probably see my dad in his youth.
He thinks this roll is from the 1987 Berkeley parents' college weekend.
'87, huh? Yeah? That's That's the year I got my first big photo published.
I was in Sri Lanka.
I was covering this, uh, an unrelated story and then a terrorist bombs a bus depot.
Lucky.
Boy, I remember that clearly.
I was so excited to get that shot.
It was like a It was like my whole world depended on it.
Oh, boy, man.
I was just a kid.
You were not a kid in your Well, I thought I was.
That's for sure.
But, no.
No, I was a kid.
This is not from the 1987 Berkeley College parents' weekend.
My Aunt Sarah did not go to Berkeley College.
Nor did she go to any college at all.
According to my dad, she made a series of poor decisions in her 20s.
Yeah, well, that's what you do, Max.
You just You make one dumb choice after another.
You think you know it all.
I mean, God, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted out of life.
I didn't have a clue.
But now, it's weird now.
I just, uh It's like my life got a whole bunch more complicated, but what I want out of it got a hell of a lot simpler.
I don't understand what you're saying.
I don't know.
I don't know what she wants.
Don't get me wrong.
I got a list for her, too.
Who are we talking about? Your Aunt Sarah.
I could think of a whole lot of things that she does that annoy me.
So can I.
Example, she talks too much.
Yeah, she does.
She does.
Right? That's a very good point.
Yeah.
Talks a lot.
Far too loud and far too often.
Yeah.
Yeah, she does.
She does, but I don't know.
Sometimes It's just the way she does it sometimes.
It's her voice.
It's part of the silence.
I prefer actual silence to Aunt Sarah's voice.
This is so amazing.
I can't even believe this.
I wasn't sure that Max was gonna be able to get anything at all usable.
Oh, my God.
This is Adam.
No! Yes! Oh, he's so little.
God, that photograph's over 40 years old.
Where did these come from? Your dad.
You know, he was so great at taking pictures.
He was not so great at probably getting them developed.
That's amazing.
Aw! Yeah.
Ah, you guys look so beautiful.
Yeah, you know, I remember this.
This was just after I told your dad that I was pregnant with Julia.
Oh! He looks a little Well Shocked? Yeah, terrified, really.
No, it was just such a shock.
Was it? Yeah, he kept saying, "Four?" He kept saying it over and over.
Like, upset? "Four?" No, he just He couldn't believe it.
"We're gonna have four?" God, he was so excited.
Hello.
Is that me? Yeah, it's you.
I'm surprised you let me hold you long enough to have this picture taken.
You were always wriggling out of my arms and racing away.
Boy, it was It was so hard to keep you tied down.
Oh, now, I remember this.
Do you remember this day? Mmm-mmm.
No? Mmm-mmm.
This was the day before you left home.
Oh.
Yeah, I remember, because I saw you out in the garden and you looked so pretty and I wanted to paint your portrait.
But you didn't wanna sit for me.
So I had Dad take pictures and I was gonna work from the photographs.
And then, um, of course Yeah.
A couple hours later, we had that huge fight.
Yeah.
Next day you were gone.
I remember that, too.
But you came back.
Too many years later.
Yeah, well, you finally figured out where you were supposed to be.
That's right.
Thanks, Mom.
What's going on, sweetie? I feel Hank wants to get married.
I know, but I haven't given him an answer, because I don't know what I wanna do.
And I have this long list of reasons why not.
Well, there's always a list.
Is there? I had a list.
Thank goodness, I kind of, you know, ultimately, didn't pay much attention to it.
But there are some things that maybe I should pay attention to.
Do you love him? Yeah.
Does he make you happy? Yeah.
Well, what else is there? Yeah.
Okay, I think our tea party is all set.
Is there anything else? Dad, wear this, please.
I have to wear that? All right.
How do I look? Beautiful.
Ah, that's delicious tea.
Do we need to make some more tea? Oh, there's somebody at the door.
Hold on one second.
Jasmine! Hey.
Come on in.
Hope I'm not, uh, interrupting.
Is this a bad time? Uh, no.
We're just having a tea party in there.
You want to have some tea with the queen? Maybe a little bit later.
No? You all right? Um, can we talk? Just a few minutes.
Yeah, sure.
Just let me flip the TV on.
I'll come back in.
Have a seat.
Okay.
All right, I'm just gonna flip on a little TV for you here, Nora.
Okay? Okay.
Okay.
Your brother doesn't know I'm here, and I would prefer to keep it that way.
Okay? Okay.
He told me about the Luncheonette.
And I understand, okay? Okay, good.
I know that you had to do what's right for you and your family.
But I'm here right now, because I have to do what's right for my family.
Jasmine, I've thought about this.
Adam, listen, I know.
I know.
There's so many reasons to close, and they're all really good reasons.
I know.
Okay.
But there's also a lot of reasons to keep it open.
More important reasons.
I know it's family and it's a dream.
Yeah.
But it just hasn't worked out the way that we wanted it to, and I'm not sure that we can turn it around.
That doesn't mean you give up, though, Adam.
I mean, you guys started this together and the Luncheonette means a lot to you, to our families.
I know.
Your niece is about to have a baby.
She's gonna have a baby.
She's depending on this.
I know, I know.
But I talked to Crosby and it seems like he was understanding of my position.
He's not understanding at all.
He's devastated.
And I've never seen him like this before.
I'm worried about him.
I know he needs this.
So I'm just asking you, please.
Promise me, you'll reconsider.
That's all.
Just give me some time to think about it.
Okay.
Hey! Uh, yeah, I was told that you and your mom were assembling a crib and I, uh I know you're independent and you're capable of anything.
But I just thought, it might feel a little safer if you let me just take a look at it and Yes! Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Thank you so much for coming.
Yeah.
All right.
Really, this has You'll be all right.
It's been terrible.
You've started already? Good.
It's in here.
You got the receipt, right? I can't decide if these are clean or dirty.
And you need more, by the way.
All right.
Is that the lunch budget? Uh, Luncheonette numbers.
I'm just going over these numbers again.
The Luncheonette? Yeah, we, you know, get this insurance money and then we've had this ad jingle company come in.
And if I can get them to come in more, I think we could start to turn a profit, maybe.
Um, why are you I thought we were just I thought we were done with that.
So why are you looking at the numbers? We were done and then Jasmine came to talk to me about it.
Jasmine came to talk to you about it? Why? For what? What did Crosby.
About how important the business is to the family and just told me that Crosby's really devastated and he's Well, I know he's probably really sad.
You're sad, I'm sad.
This is a loss, you know? It is sad.
I don't know what he's gonna do.
But he is a big boy.
He'll get over it.
He'll move on, just like you're doing.
What we're doing.
Yeah, I just don't know if he will get over it.
It just means so much to him and when I look back, Kristina, if you remember where I was at I know.
when we started the Luncheonette, I was terrified.
I get it.
But, honey, you ran the numbers.
I don't think you know how terrified I was when I lost my job at T and S.
Yes, I do.
I remember.
And the Luncheonette saved me.
Crosby saved me at that time.
And now I feel like I should be there for my brother.
I just I don't want his feelings to force you into a bad decision.
Financially.
I just don't.
Right.
No, you're right.
You've done so much for this family.
You've always been there.
You're right.
It's a tough decision.
I get it.
I'm trying to do the right thing.
And I just, I gotta get some air right now.
Like, you always do.
I gotta take a walk, okay? I love you.
You're absolutely right.
You're absolutely right, I just gotta take, take a minute.
Amber! You have to close this door! Oh, hi! Shh, shh! Yeah.
Oh! She's out.
She went out about an hour ago.
Oh, good.
Did you do this? Yeah, I did it.
I did it, I did it.
You did it? Oh! Yeah.
Shh, shh, shh! That's amazing.
How did you do that? Uh, it took a while.
You need like, an engineering degree for one of these things.
Yeah.
That's it.
It's not perfect.
If I'm being honest, I got one screw left.
Oh, no.
Hmm.
Yeah.
I don't think it's that important, 'cause I It's pretty solid.
Hmm.
He's, he got a good one, Sarah.
I didn't think, you know, I thought he'd go skimpy.
But it's pretty good.
Yeah, she didn't know what she was doing.
She had it all over the place.
Hey.
Yeah.
Yes.
What? Yes, what? To the question you asked me.
What are you saying? What are you saying? No, are we getting married? Mmm-hmm.
Are we, we're gonna get married? Yeah, I'd like to.
Wow.
Wow! Come on, I'll race ya.
Okay, you're gonna race.
Okay, we're gonna race.
We're racing? Oh, wow.
Okay.
Okay.
I got it.
Go for it.
Show her how it's done.
You got this.
Whoo! Hi.
Hi.
Uh, I just wanted to say hi.
Hi.
And what is that awesome music you're listening to? I am at the skating rink with the kids.
Oh.
How they doing? Well, better than the last lap! Sydney is trying to tell Victor, I think, probably, everything that her coaches ever told her.
That's good.
Um, I should probably go.
Hey, can you, can you just hang on? Talk to me for a few minutes? Yeah, what do you wanna talk about? Nothing.
I just wanna hear your voice.
So give me the play by play.
What are they doing? What are they doing now? Well, they're coming around the corner, neck and neck, look of determination on Victor's face.
So awesome.
He's hot on the chase.
Sydney like a swan, gliding gracefully.
Oh.
Ah, you know, sometimes, it's good to take that off the wall and look at it up close.
That is a handsome portrait of the two of us.
Isn't it? No, don't! Don't! Don't! Hey! I don't wanna leave it behind, I wanna keep that.
Oh, we're not gonna leave it behind.
We gotta leave it up there.
Because I, my friend, have changed my mind.
Let's do this.
Let's make the Luncheonette sail once again.
I'm in.
I'm in.
Are you serious? I'm serious.
You're, you're 'Cause I It's too much for me to Unwavering.
I'm in.
We're gonna make the Luncheonette work.
You promise? I promise you.
Okay? You okay? Okay.
Yes.
You sure? Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right.
It's gonna work.
It's really bumpy.
Hi! - Hey, Dad.
- Oh, my God.
Hey.
What are you, what are you doing here? Look who it is.
Well, I heard there are some major world-class speed skaters here.
He's getting better.
Is he? Yeah.
A little bit better.
Because of me.
Because of you? Dad.
Dad.
Dad, look.
A little better.
She's a very good All right, let's see it.
Okay, I'll see you soon.
Whoa, look at that.
Oh, my gosh.
Millie! Yeah, I'm in here.
Come look at these pictures that Max developed.
No, later, later.
I'm just way too excited.
I remembered what happened to my Reggie Jackson baseball.
Oh.
Yeah.
You remember Adam and Crosby used to play with it all the time, so I took it and I put it in a shoebox and I hid it up in the rafters in the old barn.
So we gotta go back to the old house.
Come on.
Okay.
Come on.
Oh, they painted.
Yeah.
I never would've thought of that color, but it looks good.
Oh, boy.
She's got her hands full.
Yeah, I hope she's loving every second of it.
So? Go knock on the door.
Oh, God.
What? Well, I changed my mind.
Someday, those kids are gonna be playing hide and seek, or messing around in the barn, they're gonna find an old shoebox full of baseball stuff and they're gonna They're gonna think they found hidden treasure.
It's gonna be the best day of their lives.
You sure? Yeah.
Yeah, let's go home.
Oh.
I love you.
I am fighting for you.
And I am fighting for our marriage.
We need to sign the papers, Joel.
Is this what you want? I just got off the phone with the insurance company.
The numbers really worked out in our favor.
How would you feel if I walked away from the Luncheonette? I've thought it over, and I don't wanna cash out.
Your heart, Zeek, is just not as strong.
We'll make the decision, you and me.
Jeez.
Argh.
Oh, God.
Oh, boy.
Okay.
That's right.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Millie! Millie! Millie! You bellowed, my darling? Yeah.
Would you do me a favor, would you? Would you climb up here and get my shoebox for me? What on earth for? Because it's got my Reggie Jackson baseball in it, and I wanna give it to my great-grandson when he's born.
Zeek.
Or great-granddaughter, fine.
Come on.
No! But you love that ball.
Whichever it is.
God, I've only heard the story a hundred thousand times.
April 4th, 1972.
Careful.
That's right.
You were sitting in section G, when all of No, sitting in J.
Section J.
Well, you talked about the day more than you talked about our wedding day.
Why would you wanna give the ball to a baby? Not a baby.
It's our great-grandchild.
Come on.
Not just an ordinary baby.
Zeek, you know, we're gonna have to have a discussion, um, about what the doctor said.
We gotta have it, you know? About the next step.
Yeah.
Right, I know that.
Okay.
Baseball's not here.
It's the wrong box.
Yeah, but what are these? I have no idea.
What the hell did I do with my baseball? What could these be? Oh, my God.
I swear I put it up there.
Can you believe those jackasses took the Janis Joplin picture? Yeah.
Yep, yep, she was our spirit animal.
I got so sick of looking at this empty wall though that I went out and procured us something.
Cros, just slow down.
Let's, let's talk about this, all right? Are you sure you wanna go ahead and try to make the Luncheonette work? I am 100% positive.
You know who else is? These guys! Look at these two idiots about to jump into the deep end.
First day? Uh-huh! One guy doesn't even know what reverb is.
That's you.
Right here.
The other guy doesn't know how to run a business.
That's me.
Three years later, I still don't know how to run a business, but despite that I get to come to a place I love every single day, because I have the greatest partner in the world.
Well, it's been a hell of a ride.
That's for sure.
That's right, sure has.
Rocky and turbulent and it's just getting started, because like our spirit animal says, "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.
" And we officially have nothing left to lose, so Uh, you got that right.
I can feel the mojo coming back right now just looking at this, right? Yeah! Phew! I don't think you need to do that anymore.
I think that looks good.
Hey.
Yeah.
Can we talk about the thing? What? The what thing? The giant tomato in the room? Well, it's an elephant.
We both know that.
Well I've learned that.
To me, now it's a tomato.
It's What? What about What? Yeah, I said Was that for real, I mean? What do I I said everything.
You said, you know, blurted out a proposal, uh, outside of the ER.
And then we never talked about it again.
Yeah, yeah.
And I just feel like, is it one of those things where, you know, everything was high pressure, and nobody had slept, and my dad, and, you know, like, when you have Feel like a plane's going down, you just blurt out things you don't really mean.
No, I mean, why Why would you think that? Because it seemed very unplanned and Well, so what? Why does it have to be planned? Because, oh, I don't know, it's the rest of your life? I don't What do you want me to say? You want me to I can't say it again.
I I said it.
I said everything I wanted to say.
I said I love you and I I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.
And I want you.
I want you richer or poorer, better or worse, the whole wedding enchilada.
It was high pressure and it was emotional.
It may not have been the right place, but I meant it.
I meant every word of it.
If there's a tomato, it's in your hands now, the tomato.
Hey.
Hey.
Everything okay? Yeah, um Joel What are we doing? Yeah, I know.
It's been on my mind a lot.
I didn't wanna press with, you know, with your dad.
But, yeah, we should get together and talk.
How about How about now? Like, now, now? Yeah, right now.
Um, unless you're busy.
No.
No, I'm not busy.
Okay, um Yeah.
So Yeah.
Well Jules, we can't We gotta do this in person.
Oh, well, come over.
On my way.
Okay.
Hi.
Hi.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Hmm! Good morning.
Hmm.
So, that happened? Mmm! It did, didn't it? I'm pretty sure Pretty sure it did.
I'm pretty sure it needs to happen again.
We need to We do still need to talk.
Absolutely.
Okay.
We will.
I'm sure about this.
Yeah, just Mmm-hmm.
Mom? Mom, why's the door locked? This is confusing.
Get Hide.
Um, the door's locked because I am looking for my robe, sweetheart.
And let me find it.
So as soon as I find my robe, um, then you can come in, which is right now.
Hi.
So, what's up? Mom, I left my flute at Dad's.
Okay.
Well, what And I need it for band today.
Good.
Well, we will go by his house on the way to school.
No, we won't.
We will have Dad drop it off at school for you.
Okay.
I'll text him.
Okay? No, no, I can, uh Oh, I can text him for you.
Can I? I can call him for you if you want.
I'm faster.
Okay.
Great.
Uh, that was my phone, huh? You don't have any texts.
Look, it was my phone.
That was Dad telling you that he'll be there.
He'll bring it.
And it's perfect.
His message has a lot of typos.
Yeah, he must be in a rush, which we are, too.
Let's get you off to school.
No, we're not.
Yeah, we are.
Let's Look, I'm completely ready.
I have my coat on.
And shoes.
Did you eat breakfast? Yes? Yes.
Hey.
Mom, Dad.
What are you doing here? Hey.
Hi.
Well Look what we got.
What've you got? We got a project for my grandson.
Where is he? Uh.
Hey, Max.
What kind of project? Well, I think one that you're gonna be interested in.
How old are these? Well, nobody knows.
Why don't you tell me? Yeah.
Your grandpa likes to throw things in shoeboxes and then forget about them, so A shoebox is a terrible place to keep film.
They should be kept somewhere cool and dry.
That was stupid, Grandpa.
Can I have extra screen time in order to find out what year these are from? Oh, I vote yes on that.
All right, saved by the grandmother.
Fifteen minutes and then you gotta go to school.
Grandpa! I'll I'll go.
Yeah.
The mysterious film.
Hey, uh, listen, can I talk to you for a sec? Yeah.
Your mother told me about the break-in.
She wasn't supposed to do that.
We didn't wanna stress you out.
Oh, really? Well, you kids not telling me stuff stresses me out more than that.
So what's going on? I'm sorry, but everything's fine.
Okay? Eh, everything's fine.
It's all good.
It's all good.
Yeah.
It's all good.
You know, why am I not convinced here, it's all good? Dad, it's fine, it's just that with the All right, you don't want me to hold anything back from you? Oh, man.
You never could lie to me.
Yeah, well.
Come on, Adam.
All right, I want out of the Luncheonette.
Out of the business? You know, it's been so hard recently for us to turn any profit.
We're just getting deeper and deeper into debt.
And I felt like this insurance money could liberate us, that it's enough for us just to have a clean break.
And I just wanna move on and figure out what I wanna do next.
What I wanna do with my life.
But I can't, because this is It's Crosby's dream.
That's what's going on.
Well, Crosby's old enough to know that dreams get put on hold, you know? Yeah, this wouldn't be putting it on hold, Dad.
This would be killing it.
Destroying it.
The Luncheonette would be over and Crosby would be crushed.
Anyway.
That's been on my mind, but Well, you gotta do what's best for your family, son.
Right? He's my family.
He's my little brother.
Crosby's turned into quite a man, you know? He's surprised a lot of us.
Yeah.
Yeah, he can handle this.
I think it's time that you let it go.
That you gotta do what's What's right for you, son.
Give me that thing.
This is "H2", why do you want "H2"? What do you mean? You know, this is not a piece, "H2" doesn't go.
I'll just jam it in there, fine.
We don't even get to "H2" until There Ah! Mom! Wait.
Oh, my God.
Even if we put this together right, I am too scared to put my child in it.
No, this is gonna work.
You jammed it in too far.
You can't even No, no, no! This is like ridiculous.
This is so ridiculous! Hey! Hey! This thing is so stupid.
Screw this! It's typical.
It's a typical Dad thing to do, to like, send something and try to get the credit and then actually stick us with all of the hard work.
Like not Not be helpful at all.
Just like with everything of his entire life.
Sorry you didn't have a A better dad.
It's times like this when it's really No, Mom.
It's not It's not your fault either.
I'm I'm just stressed, because it's hard to do all this stuff alone.
And And I'm basically bringing a child into the world to do everything alone as well.
You made a decision and we don't know that Ryan won't be there.
You're trying to stand up for yourself and make sure he's healthy.
If he comes around, then we'll figure it out.
And then we'll hire somebody to put this crib together.
Hey, Cros.
Can we talk for a second? Hey.
Yeah, man.
There's some nice stuff in here.
This 1176? Oh, yeah? Analog display.
Look how sweet that is.
Yeah, that looks pretty cool.
Yeah, I'm almost excited we got robbed.
Hey, can you, uh, set that aside for a second? 'Cause I've been doing some pretty serious thinking.
A lot of thinking.
Uh-huh.
About our future and You know, I really think the best thing for us to do here is to fold.
Okay, so you wanna close the business up again? I do.
Look, it's been great here.
But I think it's what's best for both of us.
It's not what's best for me.
Well, it feels like that's what's best for me.
I have loved working with you.
You know that.
I wouldn't trade these last years for anything.
It was great.
I just feel like I wanna get out from under.
And I think it's the responsible and Yeah.
Yeah.
It's the right thing to do.
I'm sorry.
I totally understand.
Um You have a family, and I have a family.
So Yeah, don't Don't feel bad about it.
You know, we had a good run.
We had a good run.
Yeah.
And maybe this is just what we needed to move on.
Hey.
Oh, hi.
What're you doing? Uh, uh I thought you had a job.
It said on the schedule.
Yeah, it got canceled.
I mean, not that I didn't wanna see you.
But I was not planning.
Yeah, I know.
What are you doing? Amber and I are putting together her crib and we don't have a hammer.
Both you guys are gonna put a crib together that a live baby goes in? Uh, yes.
Do you have a Are you qualified? I mean I don't know.
It's We're working on it.
Yeah.
You have a hard time with Velcro sometimes.
All right, be careful.
I mean Thank you.
That's all you need? Uh, so far, yeah.
All right.
So, I know, um Yeah, I know.
But, uh, that's all right.
I'm just taking my time.
I know.
You gotta weigh it all.
A lot of reasons to say no.
I get that.
It's not even like that.
It's not like a list or anything.
What if it was? What's the, like, some of the What would be on the list? What's some of the If there was a list of pros and cons? Yeah, what's the reasons for no? What would Oh, I don't It's not like Give me, uh Top three.
I just, you know, it's all the stuff we talked about.
It's like, do we communicate? Yeah, I know.
And can we grow together? I'm working on 'em.
I mean, you know that.
I know.
- I'm just older now and I need more time.
- Hank! I understand that I don't have studio time scheduled right now, but this is the greatest day of our collective lives.
I hold in my hand seven canisters of undeveloped film Hi, Max.
spanning decades and they need to be developed right now! Anyway.
All right.
Go.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not It's not one of those This isn't on the "no" list, right? That I With this No! With him, it's one of the good things.
So, it's a good thing, right? I'll talk to you later.
As soon as possible.
All right, all right.
What do you got? Give me that.
Why are you going like that? It looks crazy.
What is that for? It focuses the It focuses it on your abs.
It doesn't help anything.
Yeah, it does.
It's like, baby pregnancy stuff.
It helps you focus.
So, finish the story, though.
The kids saw him, or they didn't see him? Didn't see him.
I'm so glad they didn't see him.
I'm hiding the father of my children from my children.
Wow.
How does that feel? I don't know.
It feels crazy but it feels like it's the right thing to do.
What are you guys gonna do? We're gonna weigh it out.
We're gonna make sure that something So how long do you wait before you know something Just until you've weighed everything out and you And then we'll know and we'll do it.
Hey, Hank asked me to marry him.
I didn't know what to say and now I still kind of don't know what to say and That's fantastic, though! That's amazing! Thank you.
Well, yeah.
He has We haven't talked about it since.
So you know, is that the rest of my life? I mean, I love him but it's, uh He's complicated and Mmm-hmm.
I don't know.
My gut has steered me so wrong so many times.
You wanna weigh it out.
I just don't wanna make a mistake.
You wanna I know, okay.
Yes.
We're not 20 years old.
We have children to think of.
Yeah.
What do you recommend? We make a list of pros and cons.
We're going to list reasons to marry Hank.
No! Reasons not to marry Hank.
That feels so not romantic.
But you just said you wanna make a practical decision.
This is the way to do that.
Okay, do you have paper and a pen? I have.
Oh, man, I always forget.
Okay.
The pros.
Uh, pros.
Um Um, stable.
Kind.
Mmm-hmm.
Funny.

Taller than me.
Important.
Not a deal breaker, but always a plus.

I'm sorry.
It was nice.
Nice? It was nearly a disaster.
The kids, I mean, Joel, we've put them through so much.
We just can't confuse them.
We can't give them false hope.
Okay.
I'm sorry, would it be false hope? I don't know that.
Okay.
'Cause, I guess, in that case, after last night, I guess I was having a little bit of false hope myself.
Okay, Joel.
No.
There's hope.
We just have to do a lot of work.
Yes! Yes.
And I'm in.
Okay.
I'm ready.
Whatever it takes.
Well, good.
We just We have to do that before we can tell the kids.
Okay.
Because we have to come to the other side of this thing and know that we can make it.
If we don't make it, it's just too much for them.
We can't Honey.
Yeah.
I love you.
And I'm in.
Whatever it is, we will work it out.
Good.
Okay.
So For instance, what about Chris? Sorry, what about I thought that was over.
That is over.
But I work with him.
Uh-huh.
And I'm not really in a position to quit my job.
I mean, I don't want to quit my job.
I like my job.
I like my clients and my cases and Yeah.
I feel good about myself there.
I guess, um, yeah, I guess I'll just I guess I'll just have to deal with it.
Okay, and what about me? Well, you're a You're a hot mess.
That's Listen, I'm serious.
We know that.
I've been very emotional lately with my dad Yes.
And previously.
And I've not always thought logically.
Okay, I know.
Listen, we're both emotional right now, but when have you not thought clearly? Two years ago, I was not thinking clearly.
I was pretty much unraveling and you left.
Yeah, that's not gonna happen again.
Good, but I can't tell you that it won't happen again, that I'll be I don't know.
I know that I was hard to live with.
I realize that it was rough.
Honey, I will tell you this as many times as you need me to.
I will never leave you again.
I will never leave you.
Ugh! Bingo! What is all this stuff? This, grandson, is what 72 years of memories looks like.
All right, so what are we looking for? We are looking for a baseball in a shoebox.
Baseball.
Well, there are shoeboxes everywhere, but I can I know.
Oh, boy.
We got our We got our work cut out for us, don't we? Oh, God.
Old shoes and what not.
Are you okay? Oh, man.
Yeah.
Well, I've felt better, if you know what I mean.
Yeah.
Um Hey, Grandpa.
I just wanna say that I'm so sorry about ruining the trip to France.
Oh, gosh.
I really am.
I did not mean to do that, you know? That's just all I can think about.
When you had the heart attack, it's just like You know, what if What if I lost you, and I didn't And you were mad at me.
Oh, man.
I don't even know how I would have been able to live with that.
And I'm just I really am so sorry and Oh, grandson.
Come on.
Tying yourself in knots over this.
Come here a minute.
I'm sorry.
Hey.
Grandpa, I really am.
Come on.
Gosh, Drew.
It's okay.
I mean, I was I was scared, you know? When that happens, the last thing you're gonna hold on to is anger, for anybody or anything.
Right? Yeah.
I don't like thinking about it, though.
Well, I don't either.
But I mean, it's gonna happen.
And when it does happen, I can guarantee I'm probably gonna be pissed off at somebody.
I don't know.
Yeah, probably.
Heck, it might even be you.
But you know the crazy thing is, is that, the anger that you feel is usually for the people you love the most.
All right? Yeah.
When Adam and Crosby were kids, they used to make me so angry.
They're just running around, screaming and yelling.
I couldn't get 'em to shut up.
I mean, it was like I wanted to kill them.
No, I mean, and that's not a metaphor.
I really wanted to kill them.
Right? Mmm-hmm.
I mean, they'd be running around, they'd be screaming and You all right? Oh, my gosh.
Are you okay? Yeah, I just I just remembered, they wanted to play with my baseball so I hid it from them.
And I know where I put it.
God.
I remember where I put it.
That scared me, Grandpa.
I had, like, a What do you mean, like an epiphany? An epiphany! Yeah.
Grandson, you gotta take me home.
Okay? Okay.
Let's go.
Attaboy.
Thank you! You need help? Yeah, just a little bit there.
Good, good.
According to my research, this roll is from the mid to late 1980s.
Which means I will not be in it, as I was not yet born.
I was.
I was in my 20s then.
Traveling all over the world.
Just getting started as a photojournalist.
It's also not likely that I will see my mom either.
But I will probably see my dad in his youth.
He thinks this roll is from the 1987 Berkeley parents' college weekend.
'87, huh? Yeah? That's That's the year I got my first big photo published.
I was in Sri Lanka.
I was covering this, uh, an unrelated story and then a terrorist bombs a bus depot.
Lucky.
Boy, I remember that clearly.
I was so excited to get that shot.
It was like a It was like my whole world depended on it.
Oh, boy, man.
I was just a kid.
You were not a kid in your Well, I thought I was.
That's for sure.
But, no.
No, I was a kid.
This is not from the 1987 Berkeley College parents' weekend.
My Aunt Sarah did not go to Berkeley College.
Nor did she go to any college at all.
According to my dad, she made a series of poor decisions in her 20s.
Yeah, well, that's what you do, Max.
You just You make one dumb choice after another.
You think you know it all.
I mean, God, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted out of life.
I didn't have a clue.
But now, it's weird now.
I just, uh It's like my life got a whole bunch more complicated, but what I want out of it got a hell of a lot simpler.
I don't understand what you're saying.
I don't know.
I don't know what she wants.
Don't get me wrong.
I got a list for her, too.
Who are we talking about? Your Aunt Sarah.
I could think of a whole lot of things that she does that annoy me.
So can I.
Example, she talks too much.
Yeah, she does.
She does.
Right? That's a very good point.
Yeah.
Talks a lot.
Far too loud and far too often.
Yeah.
Yeah, she does.
She does, but I don't know.
Sometimes It's just the way she does it sometimes.
It's her voice.
It's part of the silence.
I prefer actual silence to Aunt Sarah's voice.
This is so amazing.
I can't even believe this.
I wasn't sure that Max was gonna be able to get anything at all usable.
Oh, my God.
This is Adam.
No! Yes! Oh, he's so little.
God, that photograph's over 40 years old.
Where did these come from? Your dad.
You know, he was so great at taking pictures.
He was not so great at probably getting them developed.
That's amazing.
Aw! Yeah.
Ah, you guys look so beautiful.
Yeah, you know, I remember this.
This was just after I told your dad that I was pregnant with Julia.
Oh! He looks a little Well Shocked? Yeah, terrified, really.
No, it was just such a shock.
Was it? Yeah, he kept saying, "Four?" He kept saying it over and over.
Like, upset? "Four?" No, he just He couldn't believe it.
"We're gonna have four?" God, he was so excited.
Hello.
Is that me? Yeah, it's you.
I'm surprised you let me hold you long enough to have this picture taken.
You were always wriggling out of my arms and racing away.
Boy, it was It was so hard to keep you tied down.
Oh, now, I remember this.
Do you remember this day? Mmm-mmm.
No? Mmm-mmm.
This was the day before you left home.
Oh.
Yeah, I remember, because I saw you out in the garden and you looked so pretty and I wanted to paint your portrait.
But you didn't wanna sit for me.
So I had Dad take pictures and I was gonna work from the photographs.
And then, um, of course Yeah.
A couple hours later, we had that huge fight.
Yeah.
Next day you were gone.
I remember that, too.
But you came back.
Too many years later.
Yeah, well, you finally figured out where you were supposed to be.
That's right.
Thanks, Mom.
What's going on, sweetie? I feel Hank wants to get married.
I know, but I haven't given him an answer, because I don't know what I wanna do.
And I have this long list of reasons why not.
Well, there's always a list.
Is there? I had a list.
Thank goodness, I kind of, you know, ultimately, didn't pay much attention to it.
But there are some things that maybe I should pay attention to.
Do you love him? Yeah.
Does he make you happy? Yeah.
Well, what else is there? Yeah.
Okay, I think our tea party is all set.
Is there anything else? Dad, wear this, please.
I have to wear that? All right.
How do I look? Beautiful.
Ah, that's delicious tea.
Do we need to make some more tea? Oh, there's somebody at the door.
Hold on one second.
Jasmine! Hey.
Come on in.
Hope I'm not, uh, interrupting.
Is this a bad time? Uh, no.
We're just having a tea party in there.
You want to have some tea with the queen? Maybe a little bit later.
No? You all right? Um, can we talk? Just a few minutes.
Yeah, sure.
Just let me flip the TV on.
I'll come back in.
Have a seat.
Okay.
All right, I'm just gonna flip on a little TV for you here, Nora.
Okay? Okay.
Okay.
Your brother doesn't know I'm here, and I would prefer to keep it that way.
Okay? Okay.
He told me about the Luncheonette.
And I understand, okay? Okay, good.
I know that you had to do what's right for you and your family.
But I'm here right now, because I have to do what's right for my family.
Jasmine, I've thought about this.
Adam, listen, I know.
I know.
There's so many reasons to close, and they're all really good reasons.
I know.
Okay.
But there's also a lot of reasons to keep it open.
More important reasons.
I know it's family and it's a dream.
Yeah.
But it just hasn't worked out the way that we wanted it to, and I'm not sure that we can turn it around.
That doesn't mean you give up, though, Adam.
I mean, you guys started this together and the Luncheonette means a lot to you, to our families.
I know.
Your niece is about to have a baby.
She's gonna have a baby.
She's depending on this.
I know, I know.
But I talked to Crosby and it seems like he was understanding of my position.
He's not understanding at all.
He's devastated.
And I've never seen him like this before.
I'm worried about him.
I know he needs this.
So I'm just asking you, please.
Promise me, you'll reconsider.
That's all.
Just give me some time to think about it.
Okay.
Hey! Uh, yeah, I was told that you and your mom were assembling a crib and I, uh I know you're independent and you're capable of anything.
But I just thought, it might feel a little safer if you let me just take a look at it and Yes! Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Thank you so much for coming.
Yeah.
All right.
Really, this has You'll be all right.
It's been terrible.
You've started already? Good.
It's in here.
You got the receipt, right? I can't decide if these are clean or dirty.
And you need more, by the way.
All right.
Is that the lunch budget? Uh, Luncheonette numbers.
I'm just going over these numbers again.
The Luncheonette? Yeah, we, you know, get this insurance money and then we've had this ad jingle company come in.
And if I can get them to come in more, I think we could start to turn a profit, maybe.
Um, why are you I thought we were just I thought we were done with that.
So why are you looking at the numbers? We were done and then Jasmine came to talk to me about it.
Jasmine came to talk to you about it? Why? For what? What did Crosby.
About how important the business is to the family and just told me that Crosby's really devastated and he's Well, I know he's probably really sad.
You're sad, I'm sad.
This is a loss, you know? It is sad.
I don't know what he's gonna do.
But he is a big boy.
He'll get over it.
He'll move on, just like you're doing.
What we're doing.
Yeah, I just don't know if he will get over it.
It just means so much to him and when I look back, Kristina, if you remember where I was at I know.
when we started the Luncheonette, I was terrified.
I get it.
But, honey, you ran the numbers.
I don't think you know how terrified I was when I lost my job at T and S.
Yes, I do.
I remember.
And the Luncheonette saved me.
Crosby saved me at that time.
And now I feel like I should be there for my brother.
I just I don't want his feelings to force you into a bad decision.
Financially.
I just don't.
Right.
No, you're right.
You've done so much for this family.
You've always been there.
You're right.
It's a tough decision.
I get it.
I'm trying to do the right thing.
And I just, I gotta get some air right now.
Like, you always do.
I gotta take a walk, okay? I love you.
You're absolutely right.
You're absolutely right, I just gotta take, take a minute.
Amber! You have to close this door! Oh, hi! Shh, shh! Yeah.
Oh! She's out.
She went out about an hour ago.
Oh, good.
Did you do this? Yeah, I did it.
I did it, I did it.
You did it? Oh! Yeah.
Shh, shh, shh! That's amazing.
How did you do that? Uh, it took a while.
You need like, an engineering degree for one of these things.
Yeah.
That's it.
It's not perfect.
If I'm being honest, I got one screw left.
Oh, no.
Hmm.
Yeah.
I don't think it's that important, 'cause I It's pretty solid.
Hmm.
He's, he got a good one, Sarah.
I didn't think, you know, I thought he'd go skimpy.
But it's pretty good.
Yeah, she didn't know what she was doing.
She had it all over the place.
Hey.
Yeah.
Yes.
What? Yes, what? To the question you asked me.
What are you saying? What are you saying? No, are we getting married? Mmm-hmm.
Are we, we're gonna get married? Yeah, I'd like to.
Wow.
Wow! Come on, I'll race ya.
Okay, you're gonna race.
Okay, we're gonna race.
We're racing? Oh, wow.
Okay.
Okay.
I got it.
Go for it.
Show her how it's done.
You got this.
Whoo! Hi.
Hi.
Uh, I just wanted to say hi.
Hi.
And what is that awesome music you're listening to? I am at the skating rink with the kids.
Oh.
How they doing? Well, better than the last lap! Sydney is trying to tell Victor, I think, probably, everything that her coaches ever told her.
That's good.
Um, I should probably go.
Hey, can you, can you just hang on? Talk to me for a few minutes? Yeah, what do you wanna talk about? Nothing.
I just wanna hear your voice.
So give me the play by play.
What are they doing? What are they doing now? Well, they're coming around the corner, neck and neck, look of determination on Victor's face.
So awesome.
He's hot on the chase.
Sydney like a swan, gliding gracefully.
Oh.
Ah, you know, sometimes, it's good to take that off the wall and look at it up close.
That is a handsome portrait of the two of us.
Isn't it? No, don't! Don't! Don't! Hey! I don't wanna leave it behind, I wanna keep that.
Oh, we're not gonna leave it behind.
We gotta leave it up there.
Because I, my friend, have changed my mind.
Let's do this.
Let's make the Luncheonette sail once again.
I'm in.
I'm in.
Are you serious? I'm serious.
You're, you're 'Cause I It's too much for me to Unwavering.
I'm in.
We're gonna make the Luncheonette work.
You promise? I promise you.
Okay? You okay? Okay.
Yes.
You sure? Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right.
It's gonna work.
It's really bumpy.
Hi! - Hey, Dad.
- Oh, my God.
Hey.
What are you, what are you doing here? Look who it is.
Well, I heard there are some major world-class speed skaters here.
He's getting better.
Is he? Yeah.
A little bit better.
Because of me.
Because of you? Dad.
Dad.
Dad, look.
A little better.
She's a very good All right, let's see it.
Okay, I'll see you soon.
Whoa, look at that.
Oh, my gosh.
Millie! Yeah, I'm in here.
Come look at these pictures that Max developed.
No, later, later.
I'm just way too excited.
I remembered what happened to my Reggie Jackson baseball.
Oh.
Yeah.
You remember Adam and Crosby used to play with it all the time, so I took it and I put it in a shoebox and I hid it up in the rafters in the old barn.
So we gotta go back to the old house.
Come on.
Okay.
Come on.
Oh, they painted.
Yeah.
I never would've thought of that color, but it looks good.
Oh, boy.
She's got her hands full.
Yeah, I hope she's loving every second of it.
So? Go knock on the door.
Oh, God.
What? Well, I changed my mind.
Someday, those kids are gonna be playing hide and seek, or messing around in the barn, they're gonna find an old shoebox full of baseball stuff and they're gonna They're gonna think they found hidden treasure.
It's gonna be the best day of their lives.
You sure? Yeah.
Yeah, let's go home.
