THEY HAD TO SPEND THE AFTERNOON CLEANING.

HEY, STOP IT. - STOP.
- SET 'EM DOWN, ON THE GROUND.

WITH THE PORK PIE HAT AND THE JETHRO TULL LOOK,
I CAN'T DO IT. - HANG IN THERE.
- WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?
WHY ARE YOU GUYS LISTENING TO JONI MITCHELL?
- BECAUSE SHE'S A GENIUS, FIRST OF ALL.
OKAY? - OH, UH-HUH.
- AND OUR NEPHEW CAME IN HERE FOR A LITTLE ADVICE.
NOT JUST ON MUSIC, BUT ON THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES.
AND HE CAME TO ME, NOT YOU.
SO I'D APPRECIATE IT IF-- - REALLY?
YOU WANTED HIS ADVICE?
- THERE'S A GIRL I LIKE WHO LIKES JONI MITCHELL,
SO I'M TRYING TO LISTEN TO IT.
BUT I KNOW THIS IS STUPID.
SHE'S NOT GONNA BELIEVE THAT I'M INTO THIS, OBVIOUSLY.
- DREW, DREW, LISTEN TO ME, OKAY.
YOU'RE AT A CRITICAL JUNCTURE WITH THIS YOUNG LADY, OKAY?
RIGHT NOW, SHE'S SEE YOU AS HER FRIEND, OKAY?
YOU GOT A VERY SMALL WINDOW TO BREAK THROUGH
THE FRIEND ZONE AND INTO THE FUN ZONE.
- IN THE LAYIN' PIPE ZONE. - OKAY.
- LET'S CALL IT WHAT IT IS. - I'VE GOT THIS.
- YOU ACTUALLY ARE MAKING A GOOD POINT, SHOCKINGLY.
- LISTEN TO ME. WITH TRACK NINE,
I SWEAR TO YOU, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
- ALL RIGHT. - ANYTHING.
- I'M HOLDING MY BREATH. - LOOK.
I DATED A GIRL FOR A YEAR AND PRETENDED I WAS VEGAN,
SO I'M IN NO POSITION TO JUDGE.
BUT, I DO HAVE ONE PIECE OF ADVICE.
- I KNOW. IF SHE DOESN'T LIKE ME FOR ME,
THEN WHAT'S THE POINT?
- NO, THAT WOULD BE TERRIBLE ADVICE.
WHAT I'M SAYING IS, YOU HAVE GOT TO COMMIT TO THIS LIE.
- IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A LIE.
- YOU CAN'T JUST LISTEN TO A COUPLE OF TRACKS
OFF THIS ALBUM AND THINK YOU'RE GONNA PULL IT OFF.
YOU'VE GOTTA WORK FOR IT.
YOU GOTTA READ THE LINER NOTES.
YOU GOTTA KNOW WHAT THAT SONG--
- YO, YO, HEY.
OH, JONI. TRACK NINE-- BONE ZONE, EVERY TIME.
UM, WE NEED YOU DOWNSTAIRS, 'CAUSE YOU GOTTA
PUSH THE RED BUTTON OR WHATEVER.
I MEAN, I COULD PROBABLY DO IT,
BUT I MEAN, YOU'RE THE ENGINEER, RIGHT?
IS THAT HOW THAT WORKS? - YEAH, I'LL...
- YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD COME DO THAT.
- GO PULL THEM LEVERS.
- YOU KNOW, WHENEVER YOU'RE READY.
COME ON.
- AND AS FOR THE BATHROOMS, IF YOU MUST KNOW,
I WAS ALSO LOOKING UP
"DELUXE PORTA POTTIES" ON THE INTERNET.
- [snickers] THAT'S NOT A CATEGORY.
- IT IS, OH, YEAH. - NO, NO.
- VERY, VERY LUSH. YOU'LL SEE.
- OXYMORON-- "DELUXE PORTA POTTY."
- LISTEN, EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINE, ALL RIGHT?
- GOOD. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA WEAR?
- OH, GOD. I FORGOT ABOUT THAT.
SOMETHING BILLOWY.
SOMETHING WITH ROOM FOR MY EATING HABITS.
- HEY, WHO'S HIS BEST MAN GONNA BE?
- UM, I DON'T KNOW.
WE HAVEN'T REALLY TALKED ABOUT IT YET.
BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW, HONESTLY,
HOW MUCH OF THAT STUFF WE'RE GONNA REALLY DO,
LIKE, THE TRADITIONAL, YOU KNOW--
- BUT YOU'RE--RIGHT, BUT YOU'RE HAVING A WEDDING,
SO THAT'S TRADITIONAL, SO-- - YEAH.
- AND SO NONE OF HIS FAMILY IS COMING?
- UH, I DON'T THINK SO.
- HM. - YEAH, I DON'T--
- I WAS JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING--
I JUST--I DON'T FEEL LIKE I KNOW HIM THAT WELL.
- I HAVEN'T MET THEM EITHER. I DON'T KNOW.
HE'S NOT CLOSE WITH THEM, YOU KNOW.
I THINK THERE'S SOME COMPLICATED ISSUES THERE.
AND I THINK IT'S PROBABLY NOT THE HEALTHIEST RELATIONSHIP.
AND I THINK HE JUST WANTS TO MOVE AWAY FROM THAT.
- AREN'T YOU CURIOUS? - TO BE HONEST,
IT'S KIND OF A SENSITIVE SUBJECT WITH HIM.
AND I JUST DON'T REALLY WANNA PUSH IT.
AND I DON'T KNOW, I TRUST HIM, YOU KNOW.
I'M SURE HE WILL SHARE WITH ME THE RIGHT THINGS.
AND NOT EVERYBODY'S THAT CLOSE TO THEIR FAMILY.
AND I THINK IT'S-- IT MAKES SENSE, YOU KNOW?
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A GOOD THING WITH HIM,
YOU WOULDN'T WANT HIM THERE.
- RIGHT, OR IT WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO--
ANYWAY, I HEAR YOU. - MOM, THIS IS NOT THERAPY 101.
- I UNDERSTAND. - OKAY, GOT IT, THANK YOU.
DULY NOTED, YOUR ATTITUDE ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING.
- WELL, A WEDDING BRINGS THESE QUESTIONS UP, DOESN'T IT?
- APPARENTLY.
- MADE YOU SOME COFFEE. - AW.
THANKS.
ARE YOU JUST PRACTICING BEING A WIFE?
- YEAH, JUST PRACTICING.
[grunts]
UM...HEY. SO, YOU KNOW, UM...
MY DAD IS, LIKE, REALLY NOT THE BEST.
HE'S, LIKE, KIND OF THE WORST.
I DON'T EVEN REALLY LIKE HIM AS A PERSON.
BUT, YOU KNOW, HE'S MY DAD,
AND HE'S A BIG PART OF ME.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME THAT HE'S THERE
ON THE BIGGEST DAY OF MY LIFE, YOU KNOW?
- THAT'S GREAT. I'M HAPPY.
THAT'S GREAT.
I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING HIM.
- OKAY.
I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT--
- I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
- OKAY, WELL, IT FEELS IMPORTANT TO ME THAT,
YOU KNOW, YOUR FAMILY KNOWS ME AND THAT I KNOW THEM, AND--
- AND I'M GONNA INTRODUCE YOU TO THEM AT SOME POINT.
I JUST THINK OUR WEDDING IS SUPPOSED TO BE
THE HAPPIEST DAY OF OUR LIVES.
AND IF MY STEPDAD COMES TO THAT, IT'S NOT GONNA BE.
SO THEY'RE NOT COMING.
- OKAY, WELL, DOES THAT MEAN THAT--
THAT YOU MOM CAN'T COME THEN, BECAUSE OF HIM?
- YEAH, PROBABLY. - OKAY.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT YOUR REAL DAD? I MEAN--
- I TOLD YOU, HE'S NOT AROUND.
- OKAY, WELL, DO YOU WANNA AT LEAST, YOU KNOW,
LET HIM KNOW THAT YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED?
- NO, HE'S, LIKE-- HE'S DEAD.
HE'S NOT--HE'S NOT--
- HONEY, I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T KNOW.
I'M SORRY. I BET THAT WAS REALLY AWFUL FOR YOU.
- YEAH, I'M SURE IT WAS REALLY AWFUL FOR ME, BUT I'M--
LOOK. ALL THAT STUFF IS IN THE PAST.
AND LET'S JUST LEAVE IT THERE.
LET'S JUST MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR FUTURE.
I'VE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER, EVER.
- [sighs]
- YOU'RE THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
I LOVE YOU.
WE'RE GETTING MARRIED. - WE'RE GETTING MARRIED.
- YEAH, IT REMINDS ME OF THAT SONG COURT AND SPARK.
- COURT AND SPARK? - YEAH.
- UM, NO, WHO'S THAT BY?
- THAT'S BY JONI MITCHELL.
- OH, YOU KNOW, I REALLY ONLY KNOW
THAT ONE SONG THAT I PLAYED YOU.
IT WAS FROM A MOVIE. - OH.
- MY MOM DIGS IT, SO--
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE THIS, LIKE,
BIG JONI MITCHELL SUPER FAN.
- I'M--YEAH, I GUESS SO. - THAT'S KINDA COOL.
HOW ABOUT I COME BY YOUR ROOM LATER?
YOU CAN, LIKE, PLAY ME MORE OF HER STUFF.
- COOL, YEAH. - ALL RIGHT, I'LL SEE YA.
- HOW YOU COMING, VICTOR?
- GOOD.
I THINK I GOT THIS THING CLEANED PRETTY GOOD.
- YOU KNOW WHAT THAT THING IS?
THAT'S A WATER PUMP.
- WHAT DOES IT DO?
- WELL, IT'S THE HEART OF THE ENGINE,
THAT'S WHAT IT DOES.
I MEAN, IT COOLS EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW?
YOU WANNA SCRUB THAT REALLY GOOD.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S CALLED THE IMPELLER THERE.
GET THOSE BOLTS, 'CAUSE THOSE ARE TRICKY.
- I THINK I COULD CLEAN IT EVEN BETTER.
- YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.
- I'M DONE.
- LET ME SEE.
ALL RIGHT. IT'S PRETTY GOOD.
YOU GRAB THAT BABY AND START ON THAT.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO USE SOME MORE ELBOW GREASE NOW.
- WHAT IS THAT?
- WHAT'S WHAT? - THE ELBOW GREASE.
- THAT'S JUST WHEN YOU SCRUB HARD.
- BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY,
IT IS MY WIFE'S COMMITMENT TO EDUCATION
THAT TRULY MAKES HER THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR,
AND WHY YOU SHOULD FEEL CONFIDENT
DONATING MONEY TO HER CAMPAIGN.
- I AM URGING YOU, AS YOUR FRIEND AND YOUR BROTHER,
NOT TO MAKE THAT SPEECH TO MISTAH R.A.Y.
- CROSBY, I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS, OKAY?
I PROMISED KRISTINA,
AND NOW I JUST WANT TO GET IT OVER WITH.
- WELL, THAT'S THE SPIRIT.
I'M SURE SHE'LL APPRECIATE THE ENTHUSIASM.
OH, HEY. - HEY.
- YOU GUYS READY? - UH, ACTUALLY, NO.
I JUST CAME UP HERE TO SAY YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN GREAT,
BETTER THAN ASHES OF ROME DESERVES.
BUT TODAY IS THE BAND'S LAST DAY AT THE STUDIO.
- HOLD ON A SECOND. AFTER PUTTING UP
WITH ALL THAT, YOU'RE FIRING US?
- YOU'RE NOT THE ONES GETTING FIRED.
both: MM.
- I'VE GOT TO TELL THE BAND THAT I'M DROPPING 'EM.
SORRY FOR MAKING YOUR LIFE SO MISERABLE
THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.
HOPEFULLY, WE CAN SEND SOME BETTER BUSINESS
YOUR WAY IN THE FUTURE. - OH, I WOULD LOVE THAT.
THANK YOU. - SOON.
both: ALL RIGHT.
- THANKS FOR HELPING ME THROUGH THAT.
[whispers] YES!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? - WHAT ARE YOU SO HAPPY ABOUT?
WE JUST LOST BUSINESS.
- THAT WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE.
- DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF FINANCIAL PRESSURE
I'M UNDER RIGHT NOW WITH THIS CAMPAIGN GOING ON?
- LISTEN TO ME. AS THE FATHER OF A NEWBORN,
LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR THAT.
- WELL, AS THE FATHER OF THREE CHILDREN,
I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT LIFE IS EXPENSIVE.
SO WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO FIGURE OUT
HOW WE'RE GONNA FILL OUR SCHEDULE
WHILE I GO OVER TO MISTAH R.A.Y.'S HOUSE
AND BEG HIM FOR SOME CAMPAIGN MONEY?
- WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, HEY, HEY. - WHAT?
- DON'T FORGET THESE. - WOULD YOU GIVE ME THE--
- LISTEN TO ME. - DON'T DO THAT.
- LISTEN, THESE ARE VERY VALUABLE.

SO THE FIRST TIME I MET THIS FOOL,
WE WAS SITTIN' ON MY COUCH TALKIN' BUSINESS,
AND HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIS WIFE WAS IN LABOR.
- JUST HAVIN' A BABY, FUNNY STORY.
UH, SHE'S GOOD.
THE LITTLE GIRL'S GOOD-- NORA.
AND MY WIFE IS GOOD TOO, WHICH IS A PERFECT SEGUE
TO WHAT I WANTED TO TALK TO ABOUT.
- YO, YO, YO, YO, YO. SLOW DOWN, WHITE BOY.
- OKAY.
- YOU'RE NOT GONNA ASK MISTAH R.A.Y. HOW HE DOIN?
- OF--OF COURSE, I JUST-- I KNOW YOU'RE A BUSY MAN,
DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE UP A LOT OF YOUR TIME.
BUT OF COURSE I WANT TO KNOW HOW MISTAH R.A.Y.'S DOIN'.
I--HOW HE DOIN'?
- MISTAH R.A.Y. IS DAMN FINE!
[laughter]
MISTAH R.A.Y. IS LIVIN' THE DREAM!

THANK YOU, JESUS CHRIST.
HALLELUJAH. both: AMEN.
- AMEN TO THAT. AND I JUST AM REAL HAPPY
THAT THE LUNCHEONETTE COULD PLAY A SMALL PART
IN THE SUCCESS OF THAT ALBUM.
I MEAN, A VERY SMALL PART, NOT OBVIOUSLY
AS LARGE A PART AS YOUR TALENT, YOUR HARD WORK,
AND, UH--AND JESUS.
- I'M GETTIN', LIKE-- LIKE, A LITTLE VIBE
FROM YOU RIGHT NOW.
I SENSE YOU'RE TROUBLED, ADAM.
- OH, WELL, I MEAN, WE'VE HAD SOME TROUBLES AT WORK.
IT'S BEEN A TOUGH TIME. - WELL, YOU CAN TALK TO ME.
- WHATEVER YOU NEED, YOU CAN TALK TO ME.
- AH, IT'S--YOU KNOW, JUST, WE LOST A CLIENT.
AND, UH-- - OH, DAMN.
I'M SORRY, MAN.
I KNOW HOW IT IS. - OH, NO, NO, NO.
WE LOST A CLIENT, LIKE, WE LOST THEIR BUSINESS.
THEY WERE DROPPED BY THEIR LABEL.
WE JUST LOST THEIR BUSINESS.
- AH, THAT LABEL BULL, MAN.
- YEAH, THEY'RE STILL ALIVE.
- LABEL CRAP, MAN... THEY'RE GOOD AT
RUINING GOOD MUSIC. - YEAH.
- SEE, THAT'S WHY I PUT A STUDIO IN HERE,
'CAUSE MISTAH R.A.Y. ANSWERS TO NOBODY.
- SO YOU'RE NOT WITH A LABEL,
OR YOU'RE WITH YOUR OWN LABEL?
- YEAH, I DO MY OWN THING, MAN.
WE'RE TAKIN' OUR MUSIC STRAIGHT TO THE STREETS.
THAT'S THE FUTURE RIGHT THERE, BITCH.
- YOU THINK? - HELL, YEAH.
YOU DON'T WANT TO WORK FOR THE MAN.
YOU WANT TO BE THE MAN.
YO, THAT CHANGED MY LIFE, ADAM BRAVERMAN.
IT CHANGED MY LIFE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'? - I THINK I DO.
- SO WHAT HAPPENED? - I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
WE JUST GOT TO TALKING ABOUT BUSINESS,
AND THEN IT WAS OVER.
AND I WAS PREPARED. I HAD NOTE CARDS AND EVERYTHING.
I JUST--I FEEL LIKE I LET YOU DOWN.
- YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU DIDN'T LET ME DOWN, HONEY.
IT'S SO AWKWARD ASKING PEOPLE FOR MONEY, IT'S FINE.
- I CHASED AFTER HIM, AND THEY JUST TOOK OFF.
- YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU TRIED. THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS,
IS YOU TRIED, AND I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
- HOW'D YOU DO?
- UGH, NOT SO HOT.
I MEAN, I DID OKAY I GUESS.
I TALKED TO THIS REALLY GREAT RETIRED SCHOOL TEACHER.
SHE STARTED TEACHING AT BERKELEY UNIFIED IN 1948.
SHE WAS THE KINDEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD.
SHE SAID SHE WANTED TO GIVE ME ALL OF HER EXTRA MONEY
FOR THIS CAMPAIGN, BECAUSE SHE BELIEVED IN ME.
- THAT'S GREAT. - 25 BUCKS.
- [chuckles] - I KNOW, I KNOW.
SHE WAS SO SWEET ON THE PHONE.
IT WAS JUST HEARTBREAKING.
IT'S LIKE THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE MONEY
ARE THE ONES THAT WANT ME TO BE MAYOR.
- I REALLY--I FEEL LIKE I LET YOU DOWN.
- YOU DIDN'T LET ME DOWN. - OH, TELL ME YOU GOT GOOD NEWS
FOR ME--PLEASE, PEOPLE. CHECK?
SIGNED PHOTO OF MISTAH R.A.Y., ANYTHING?
- I FORGOT THE PHOTO, AND IT JUST--
IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN. - IT'S NOT GONNA WORK.
- WHAT? AH, DAMN IT.
- HE TRIED SO HARD. HE DID HIS THING.
- GUYS, WHAT HAPPENED?
- IT'S JUST NOT GONNA WORK. I'M SORRY.
- THAT'S ALL? IT'S JUST NOT GONNA WORK?
OKAY. WELL, YOU'RE LUCKY I COME BEARING GOOD NEWS.
- REALLY? WHAT IS IT?
- I GOT YOU A MEETING WITH HARRY LERNER.
- THE DEVELOPER?
- DON'T SAY IT LIKE IT'S A DIRTY WORD, KRISTINA.
HE'S A MILLIONAIRE, THAT MEANS CHECKS...
- GOOD THING. OKAY, GOOD. GOOD, GOOD.
- DONATIONS. - A LOT OF MONEY.
HOW DID YOU SCORE THAT GUY?
- BECAUSE I'M RELENTLESS, AND I'M ANNOYING,
AND I DON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER.
- DOES HE KNOW WHERE WE STAND
ON THE DOWNTOWN LOFT PROJECT, THOUGH?
- WE CAN BE VAGUE. THAT'S THE BEAUTY
OF A PERSON-TO-PERSON MEETING.
- I JUST-- - FACE TO FACE,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET INTO SPECIFICS, KRISTINA.
WE GUIDE THE CONVERSATION.
WE AVOID WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT.
- AS LONG AS WE'RE CLEAR THAT IF I GET ELECTED,
I'M NOT GONNA SUPPORT HIS ENDEAVORS.
- ALL RIGHT. IF IT COMES UP,
WE'LL BE VERY CLEAR THAT YOU WON'T SUPPORT IT.
BUT WE DON'T NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT.
GO UPSTAIRS AND GET DRESSED. - I'M DRESSED.
- NO, YOU'RE NOT. UPSTAIRS, COME ON.
- I REALLY DON'T LIKE THAT TONE.
- I LIKE HER. - MM.
- I--YOU KNOW, I SAT DOWN WITH BOB LITTLE
THE OTHER DAY, AND HE'S A SMART KID.
AND HE GETS IT.
BUT I WANT TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND ABOUT EVERYTHING,
AND THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
AND TO BE HONEST, THIS ONE DIDN'T GIVE ME
MUCH OF A CHOICE. - YEAH.
- SHE'S VERY PERSISTENT. I RESPECT THAT.
- WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SITTING DOWN WITH US
AND TAKING THE TIME. I KNOW HOW BUSY YOU ARE.
DO YOU LIVE IN BERKELEY? OR--
- NO, I'M--UH, MILL VALLEY.
- OH, MILL VALLEY. WOW.
IT'S PRETTY NICE UP THERE. IT'S GORGEOUS.
- YEAH, BUT I WENT TO CAL.
SO IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A DREAM OF MINE
TO SEE DOWNTOWN BERKELEY GET REVITALIZED
'CAUSE IT'S, YOU KNOW-- - WOW, GREAT.
AND KRISTINA WENT TO CAL TOO. - I WENT TO CAL.
- YEAH, THAT'S WHERE HER PASSION FOR EDUCATION BEGAN.
- MM-HMM. I SAW A SYSTEM THAT WAS BROKEN,
AND THAT'S WHY I'M PUTTING MY HAT IN THE RING FOR MAYOR.
- OKAY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW ABOUT MY LOFT PROJECT.
I'M CREATING A MULTI-USE APARTMENT COMPLEX DOWNTOWN.
- THE TEN-STORY ONE?
- WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S EIGHT OR, YOU KNOW,
MIGHT ONLY BE ABLE TO GET TO DO SIX BECAUSE,
YOU KNOW, WE DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW HIGH WE'RE GONNA
BE ABLE TO GO, BECAUSE YOU REALLY DO
HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH A LOT OF HOOPS
TO GET ANYTHING APPROVED HERE IN BERKELEY.
- BERKELEY CITIZENS ARE PRETTY INVOLVED, YOU KNOW.
WITH THAT PROJECT COMES A LOT OF, LIKE,
CONSTRUCTION AND TRAFFIC AND CONGESTION--
- AND WHAT THEY NEED IS A LEADER WHO CAN
REALLY EXPLAIN TO THEM
THE PROS AND CONS OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
YOU KNOW, IT COULD ADD JOBS, IT COULD BOOST THE ECONOMY.
- EXACTLY. 'CAUSE, FRANKLY, LOOK.
THE PROJECTIONS ARE SAYING THAT THE LERNER GROUP
IS GOING TO CREATE OVER 100 NEW CONSTRUCTION JOBS.
- OH, THAT'S GREAT, CONSTRUCTION.
KRISTINA'S BROTHER-IN-LAW IS A CONTRACTOR.
SO HE'S GONNA LOVE THAT.
- YEAH, AND 60% OF THOSE JOBS ARE GONNA BE UNION.
BUT WHAT I NEED IS,
I NEED TO GET BY THE ZONING REVIEW BOARD.
AND THE FIRST TIME, IT PASSED EIGHT TO ZERO.
BUT THEN IT GOT KICKED BACK UP TO THE CITY COUNCIL
FOR FURTHER REVIEW.
- I THINK THE PROCESS TAKES A WHILE.
- YEAH, THERE'S SO MUCH PORK AND FAT IN THE GOVERNMENT,
AND THAT'S WHAT KRISTINA WANTS TO CUT OUT.
- THAT'S GOOD BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
I FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THIS PROJECT,
AND THERE'S NO WAY THAT I'M GONNA GIVE IT UP.
- GOOD FOR YOU. - I LIKE THAT.
I ADMIRE YOUR TENACITY, AND THAT'S EXACTLY
WHY I'M RUNNING FOR MAYOR.
YOU KNOW, MY MAIN FOCUS IS EDUCATION,
AND I'M SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THAT, SO--
- AND WE DEFINITELY-- WE'RE ROOTING FOR YOU.
WE REALLY WANT TO SEE YOUR PROJECT GO THROUGH,
RIGHT, KRISTINA? - YEAH.
BUT, YOU KNOW, MY MAIN FOCUS IS EDUCATION.
- YEAH.
[cranking]
- [grunts]
[car door shuts]
- MOM'S HERE. WE'RE SAVED.
- HI, SWEETHEART. - HI, HOW'D IT GO?
- PLEASE TAKE ME HOME NOW.
- MM-MM. NO. WELL, OFFICIALLY,
THEY STILL HAVE TEN MORE MINUTES ON THE CLOCK.
- YOU HEARD YOUR GRANDPA. TEN MORE MINUTES, SYD.
- AWESOME. GRANDPA, I THINK IF WE HURRY UP,
WE CAN STILL FINISH DISASSEMBLING THIS WATER PUMP.
- YEAH, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
THIS ONE SEEMS A LITTLE TIGHT THOUGH, DOESN'T IT?
- YEAH.
- OKAY.
I DON'T HAVE MY GLASSES HERE.
WE'RE ON STEP FOUR.
WHY DON'T YOU READ IT OUT THERE.
- "IT IS P-POSSIBLE
"THAT SOME--SOME--
THAT SOME BOLTS--"
- COME ON, JUST LET ME DO IT.
WE'LL BE HERE ALL DAY.
"IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME BOLTS
"TAKE MORE EFFORT TO REMOVE THAN OTHERS.
THIS POSSIBLY INDICATES IMPROPER TORQUE."
- HEY.
- COME ON, GIVE DADDY A SMILE.
- SMILE FOR DADDY. LOOK AT DADDY.
- HEY, CROS. - GIVE ME A LITTLE SMILE.
- CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND?
- UH-OH, UNCLE BOSS IS HERE. - HEY, JASMINE.
- MY MOM WAS HERE ALL MORNING, SO SHE'S A LITTLE TIRED.
- HONEY, TICKLE HER OR SOMETHING.
I WANT TO SEE A LITTLE SMILE BEFORE I HANG UP.
- JASMINE, HOW YOU DOIN'?
WE JUST GOT A LITTLE BUSINESS CONVERSATION HERE--
OH, LOOK AT THAT SMILE! THAT'S GREAT.
YOU GOT YOUR SMILE. - THAT'S NOT A SMILE.
- OKAY, BYE JASMINE. - NO, NO, NO, DON'T TURN IT.
- FIVE MINUTES OF YOUR TIME, YOU CAN CALL 'EM BACK IN FIVE
MINUTES--IMPORTANT BUSINESS. - WHEN I TOOK MY JOB HERE,
I WAS PROMISED A FAMILY-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT.
- THIS IS SO FAMILY-FRIENDLY, IT'S GONNA GET EVEN BETTER.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?
- NO, WHAT IS IT?
- THAT'S OUR FUTURE. - IT'S A BUNCH OF NUMBERS.
OUR FUTURE IS A BUNCH OF MATH AND NUMBERS?
- JUST FORGET ABOUT THE NUMBERS FOR RIGHT NOW,
OKAY? - OKAY.
- ALL THAT IS TO SAY, IT'S TIME FOR US
TO START OUR OWN LABEL.
- [laughs]
YOU WANT TO START OUR OWN LABEL? - YEAH.
- YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON LEFT IN AMERICA THAT
DOESN'T KNOW THAT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS DYING?
- OH, IT'S NOT DYING. - YOU'RE THE LAST ONE?
- ALL RIGHT. IT'S D.I.Y.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? DO IT YOURSELF.
SO FORGET ABOUT THE OLD BUSINESS MODEL,
OKAY? - UH-HUH.
- WE ARE GONNA BE A ONE-STOP SHOP.
THE BANDS THAT WE SIGN ARE GONNA BE RECORDED BY US,
PRODUCED BY US, AND THEIR MUSIC
IS GONNA BE DISTRIBUTED BY US.
- MM. AND THEN WHO PAYS US?
- WELL, THAT'S ALL IN THE NUMBERS HERE,
AND I CAN EXPLAIN IT IN DETAIL IF YOU WANT.
- I DON'T NEED THIS EXPLAINED TO ME.
I NEED TO KNOW WHO'S GONNA PAY US.
- ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IS THAT REAL PROFITABILITY
IS A REAL POSSIBILITY.
IT IS TIME FOR YOU AND I TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL
AND TRULY START WORKING FOR OURSELVES.
- WE ALREADY WORK FOR OURSELVES.
- NO, NO, WE DON'T. - YEAH, WE ALREADY--
- NO, WE DON'T. WE'RE STILL BEHOLDEN
TO THE LABELS AND THE PRODUCERS.
LOOK, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WORK FOR THE MAN,
YOU GOT TO BE THE MAN.
- WOW, THAT IS INSPIRATIONAL. - LISTEN TO ME--
- HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THIS AMAZING TALENT?
'CAUSE NO BAND WORTH ITS SALT IS GONNA SIGN
WITH AN UNPROVEN LABEL-- IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
- WELL, THEY WOULD IF THEY JUST GOT DROPPED BY THEIR LABEL.
- YOU WANT ASHES OF ROME TO COME BACK HERE.
- BOOM, YOU GOT IT. EXACTLY. - THAT'S YOUR PLAN?
YOU WANT TO SIGN THOSE IDIOTS?
- WE'RE GONNA SIGN THOSE IDIOTS.
- LET'S PUT ASIDE FOR A SECOND THAT
I THINK THE LEAD SINGER IS REPUGNANT,
AND FOCUS ON THE FACT THAT THE ONLY GOOD THING
ABOUT THAT BAND IS THEIR SONGS,
WHICH THEY DON'T OWN ANYMORE.
THEY'RE OWNED BY THEIR EX-LABEL.
OH, YOU HAVE A LOOK OF CONFUSION ON YOUR FACE.
THIS BUSINESS, WHICH YOU CLAIM TO KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT,
WORKS THAT WAY. - WELL, THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
- IT'S NOT RIGHT, BUT THAT'S THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION.
- THAT IS REALLY NOT RIGHT, CROS.
- YEAH, THAT'S HOW IT WORKS. - YOU KNOW WHAT?
THIS IS JUST ANOTHER REASON WHY WE HAVE TO DO THIS:
TO RIGHT THAT WRONG.
WE'RE GONNA GET THOSE SONGS BACK.
LET'S DO IT. - [laughs]
- HOW ARE WE GONNA GET THE SONGS BACK?
- I DON'T KNOW, BUT I'M GONNA FIGURE IT OUT.
- I TELL YOU WHAT. I WILL GET BACK
IN THE CONTROL ROOM WITH OLIVER ROME
IF YOU CAN GET THOSE SONGS BACK.
- I'M ON IT. - GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
- YOU'VE GOT TO TRUST ME. - THIS IS--
- ALL RIGHT? - YEAH.
- [grunts] - I'M NOT TOO NERVOUS
ABOUT THIS HAPPENING, AS YOU CAN SEE.
- ♪ BUT NOW THEY ONLY BLOCK THE SUN ♪
♪ THE RAIN AND SNOW ON EVERYONE ♪
- I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, MAYBE IT'S NOT AS GOOD
AS I REMEMBER. - NO, I LOVE IT.
- OH, REALLY? - YEAH.
PLAY ME SOMETHING ELSE.
- OKAY, UM...
I--I CAN'T.
I'M SORRY, I CAN'T DO IT. - WHY? WHY NOT?
- JONI MITCHELL IS-- I DON'T KNOW.
I KIND OF-- I PRETENDED TO LIKE HER
JUST 'CAUSE I KNEW THAT YOU LIKED HER.
- WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
- I THINK IT'S BECAUSE I LIKE YOU.
LIKE, MORE THAN JUST FRIENDS.
- OH.
UM--
- IT'S ALSO COOL IF YOU DON'T, YOU KNOW, LIKE ME BACK.
I'M NOT SAYING THAT-- I WON'T BE WEIRD OR ANYTHING.
I JUST COULDN'T-- I COULDN'T KEEP
PLAYING JONI MITCHELL AND PRETENDING.
I JUST COULDN'T DO IT.
- IT'S FINE, REALLY.
UM...
WELL, NOW I KNOW.
- HERE, I'LL PLAY BEACH HOUSE OR SOMETHING.
- GREAT.
- WELL, NOW, DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH FOOD THERE?
- I--THIS IS FOR JOEL, SO I DON'T HAVE TO COOK HIM DINNER.
- WELL, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING LEFT FOR ME.
- COME ON. GUYS, LET'S GO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS, BY THE WAY, DAD.
THIS IS-- - OH, COME ON. IT'S FUN.
IT REALLY IS, AND IT'S NICE TO BE NEEDED.
- YOU ARE THAT.
- UH, YEAH. WELL, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO,
YOU KNOW, PRY OR STICK MY NOSE IN
WHERE IT DOESN'T BELONG, SWEETHEART.
- HIS READING'S REALLY BAD.
- BOY. TSK. - I KNOW.
I'M WORKING WITH HIM AT NIGHT, YOU KNOW,
BUT THE BOOK REPORTS ARE TORTURE.
- MM-HMM. - [sighs]
- WELL, WHAT DO THE TEACHERS SAY?
- THEY SAY THAT IT'S BAD.
ACTUALLY, THEY WANTED TO HOLD HIM BACK A YEAR,
MAKE HIM DO FOURTH GRADE AGAIN.
- THAT'S TOUGH. - I KNOW.
AND THEY SAID IT WAS OUR CHOICE, SO WE SAID NO.
BUT NOW, HE'S FALLING BEHIND DAY BY DAY, I CAN SEE IT.
JOEL SAYS I'M OVERREACTING, BUT I CAN SEE IT, YOU KNOW.
I DON'T MEAN TO DRAG YOU INTO THIS.
I JUST FEEL KIND OF ALONE WITH IT.
- WELL, HEY, LISTEN.
I GOT YOUR BACK, OKAY.
WHATEVER I CAN DO.
- THANK YOU. HERE, YOU CAN DO THAT.
- THANK YOU.
ARE YOU SURE YOU NEED ALL OF THIS?
- [scoffs] - HONEY?
- YEAH?
- HEY. - HI.
- YOU WORKING AWAY? - I AM.
- HOW ARE YOU? - GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
HOW WAS WORK? - GOOD. IT WAS GOOD.
WOW, LOOK AT THAT.
$20,000, THE LERNER GROUP CAME THROUGH.
THAT'S GREAT, HUH? - THEY SURE DID, RIGHT?
- CONGRATULATIONS, RIGHT?
- YEAH, SORT OF.
I MEAN, IT TOOK HEATHER LESS THAN SEVEN MINUTES
TO SELL ME OUT IN THE MEETING. - UH-OH.
- I MEAN SHE WAS GREAT, WONDERFUL.
AND SHE MADE HIM FEEL HEARD
WITHOUT MAKING ANY OVERT PROMISES.
SO THAT WAS ALL WONDERFUL, BUT--
- WELL, IT'S ALL GOOD THEN, ISN'T IT?
- I DON'T KNOW. I JUST FEEL, LIKE, GROSS.
EVERYONE'S GONNA KNOW THAT ALL OF MY FUNDRAISING
CAME FROM A DEVELOPER.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IT'S LIKE--
- LOOK, AS LONG AS YOU DO THE RIGHT THING WITH THE MONEY,
NOBODY'S GONNA CARE WHERE IT CAME FROM.
- BUT I DO. I CARE.
I JUST WANT TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT
WHERE I'M GETTING THE MONEY FOR MY CAMPAIGN.
AND THIS CHECK, IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL GOOD, YOU KNOW?
- YOU KNOW WHAT? THEN DON'T TAKE IT.
- BUT IF I DON'T TAKE IT, THEN THE CAMPAIGN IS OVER.
- I KNOW, IT'S A TOUGH CALL.
- IT'S 20 GRAND. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
NO, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? - DON'T PUT THIS ON ME KRISTINA.
- I'M NOT PUTTING IN ON YOU. I'M JUST ASKING YOU,
WHAT WOULD YOU DO? - I THINK THAT,
IN THE WORLD OF POLITICS, THIS IS BUSINESS AS USUAL.
- CASH THE CHECK?
- [sighs] IT'S A TOUGH CALL.
- IT'S 6:00 P.M. DINNER SHOULD BE ON THE TABLE.
WHERE IS IT? - I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING CRAZY.
YOU ARE CORRECT, SIR.
- LET'S GO TO BURGER AND PIE. LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
- IT'S ON TV THAT THEY BROUGHT BACK THEIR TORPEDO BURGER.
- YES, BURGER AND PIE. I COULD USE A BREAK.
OKAY. GO GRAB MOM'S PURSE, BABE.
I'M GONNA GET NORA, OKAY?
HONEY, PLEASE GO GET YOUR BAG.
HERE, GIVE IT TO--
OKAY. MAX?
- OKAY. - OH, BOY.
- SEE IT LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE.
- IT'S INCREDIBLE, WOW.
- FORGET THAT YOU'VE BEEN HERE
HAVING FOOD FIGHTS WITH YOUR COUSINS.
[both laugh]
I MEAN, I'M JUST SAYING THE PRICE IS RIGHT
AND THE BATHROOMS WORK, SO I DON'T KNOW.
- NO, I MEAN IT'S GREAT, IT IS.
IT'S GREAT. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
OBVIOUSLY, I-- - REALLY?
- OF COURSE. I LOVE THE IDEA
OF GETTING MARRIED HERE.
I DON'T KNOW. JUST--
ISN'T IT JUST GONNA BE EXACTLY LIKE
UNCLE CROSBY AND JASMINE'S WEDDING?
- NO, NO. PICTURE YOUR WEDDING.
WE--WE'LL MAKE IT DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW?
- YOU THINK? I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT IF-- - I DON'T KNOW.
LOOK, IT'S UP TO YOU, OKAY?
I JUST-- I'M HERE TO SUPPORT YOU.
I JUST WANTED YOU TO CONSIDER IT.
- UH-HUH. I ALMOST BELIEVED YOU THAT TIME.
I WAS VERY CLOSE. - NO, REALLY, REALLY.
- [laughs]
I DON'T KNOW.
OH, ALSO I--I TALKED TO RYAN ABOUT HIS FAMILY.
AND HE'S--THEY'RE DEFINITELY NOT COMING, SO--
- AWW. - I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S VERY STRESSFUL, HIS PAST,
AND HE JUST KIND OF WANTS TO
BUILD A NEW LIFE WITH ME AND--
- IF ONLY IT WERE THAT EASY.
I MEAN, YOUR PAST IS WHAT MAKES YOU WHO YOU ARE.
IT'S WHAT YOU BRING TO A MARRIAGE, YOU KNOW?
IF ONLY WE COULD LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND US, RIGHT?
- YEAH.
- [deep breath]
- WHAT? - I JUST DON'T--
I JUST--LOOK, I'VE BEEN WHERE YOU ARE IN TERMS
OF BEING YOUNG AND BEING HOPEFUL.
- HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO.
THIS IS THE PART THAT I KNEW I WAS GONNA COME.
- THE PART WHERE I TELL YOU-- - YEAH.
THAT YOU ACTED LIKE MY MARRIAGE IS THE SAME AS YOURS.
- NO, NO, NO. I'VE HAD EXPERIENCES
THAT I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU--
- BUT YOU ACT AS IF YOU CAN EVEN
POSSIBLY RELATE TO MY SITUATION.
- I CAN RELATE TO YOUR SITUATION.
- NO, YOU CAN'T! - I CAN RELATE
DIRECTLY TO YOUR SITUATION... - YOU CAN'T.
BECAUSE I MARRIED SOMEONE WHEN THERE WERE
LOTS OF WARNING SIGNS, AND THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.
- ARE YOU SAYING THERE'S A LOT OF WARNING SIGNS WITH RYAN?
- YOUSAID THERE'S A LOT OF WARNING SIGNS.
- HE'S NOT LIKE DAD, YOU KNOW.
HE'S DIFFERENT, AND HE'S VERY DEPENDABLE.
AND HE'S SOLID. AND HE WANTS THIS--
- DEPENDABLE? AMBER.
I MEAN, HE'S BEATEN PEOPLE UP.
HE CRASHED YOUR CAR.
YOU CAME TO ME LAST YEAR WHEN YOU BROKE UP
TO SAY THAT YOU-- YOU WERE AFRAID
YOU'D BE HIS CARETAKER THE REST OF--
- THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SAVING UP THIS WHOLE TIME,
SO THAT THIS IS WHAT-- - I'M NOT SAVING IT UP!
I'M JUST SAYING, OPEN YOUR EYES
AND BE CLEAR ON WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO MAKE THE MISTAKES I MADE.
- YOU THINK THAT MY SITUATION IS GONNA
BE LIKE YOURS AND DAD'S, AND IT'S JUST NOT AT ALL.
[crying] IT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
AND IT'S FRUSTRATING TO ME THAT YOU THINK
THAT IT WOULD EVER BE SIMILAR, BECAUSE I'M NOT YOU.
AND RYAN'S NOT DAD.
I'M GONNA GO. OKAY?
I'M GONNA GET MARRIED AT THE LAKE.
I DECIDED ALREADY, OKAY?
SO I HOPE THAT YOU COME.
I HOPE THAT YOU LIKE IT.
- MAN, YOU THE WORST POOL PLAYER EVER.
- MAN, WHATEVER. WE'LL, PUT UP A "G" THEN.
- I'LL PUT UP TWO Gs, YOU AIN'T SAYIN' NOTHIN'.
- WHITE BOY'S BACK.
- YO, ADAM, WHAT UP, FOOL? - HEY.
- I SEE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT
THE OTHER DAY, HUH? - I DID.
AND, UH, I FOUND IT VERY INSPIRATIONAL,
SO I SPOKE TO MY BROTHER ABOUT IT.
BUT THAT'S--THAT'S NOT WHY I'M HERE, UH--
- NO PROBLEM, HAVE A SEAT, MAN.
- NO, I-I'D RATHER STAND.
MY WIFE IS RUNNING FOR MAYOR OF BERKELEY,
AND I'M VERY PROUD OF HER.
- SO YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE YOU WANT MY VOTE?
SEE, I GOT THIS LITTLE PRISON SITUATION
THAT KIND OF MAKES ME, UH, INELIGIBLE.
- I SEE. WELL, MY WIFE WOULD'VE LOVED YOUR VOTE.
BUT WHAT SHE REALLY NEEDS RIGHT NOW
IS MONEY FOR HER CAMPAIGN.
SEE, SHE'S RUNNING ON AN EDUCATION PLATFORM.
SHE REALLY WANTS TO GET SCHOOLS
HERE IN BERKELEY ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
AND SHE'S GONNA DO IT, IF SHE'S ELECTED.
YOU KNOW, SHE'S THE MOST TENACIOUS,
SELFLESS PERSON YOU'LL EVER MEET.
AND HER PLATFORM IS EDUCATION,
SO SHE HAS A TOUGH TIME RAISING MONEY.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF SMALL DONATIONS,
BUT WE NEED ONE BIG DONATION
TO HELP US REALLY COMPETE IN THIS RACE.
AND THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
- HOW MUCH YOU LOOKIN' FOR?
- UH, $20,000.

AT THE END OF MY STREET.
I DON'T LIKE IT.
WHEN SHE GETS ELECTED,
I WANT IT GONE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

- ARE YOU FIXING THE CHAIR?
- YEAH. - YAY.
- TRYING TO EARN MY KEEP AROUND HERE.

- WHAT DID SHE SAY?
- SHE JUST LEFT A MESSAGE, SAID TO CALL HER BACK.
- [sighs] SHE'S ANNOYING.
- NO. - MM-HMM.
- SHE'S A MOM. - SHE'S THE WORST.
- [chuckles]
- HMM. HEY, I GOT SOME GOOD NEWS.
- WHAT?
- I HAVE DECIDED THAT I WOULD
OFFICIALLY LIKE TO MARRY YOU AT THE LAKE.
- REALLY? - MM-HMM.
- WOW. - ARE YOU HAPPY?
- YEAH. - [laughs]
- ARE YOU SURE? - I'M POSITIVE.
IT'S MAGICAL, AND THERE'S...
NOWHERE ELSE I'D RATHER BECOME YOUR WIFE.
- WHERE YOU--WHERE WE GOING?
- TO SHOW MY APPRECIATION, LIKE...
- FINALLY. - IN A SPECIAL WAY.
[laughter]

- WELL, JEEZ, I THOUGHT YOU LIKED WORKING ON THE CAR.
WELL, I DON'T CARE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
I GOT--VICTOR, I MEAN, HECK, YOU KNOW,
I CAN'T DO THIS ON MY OWN, YOU KNOW?

NOT BECAUSE SHE'S A GIRL.
YOUR AUNT SARAH WAS AN ACE MECHANIC.
I MEAN, YOUR SISTER-- I MEAN, SYDNEY--
I MEAN, JIMINY CHRISTMAS, YOU'VE SEEN HER WORK.
- SHE WAS PRETTY BAD.
I MEAN, MY PARTS WERE WAY CLEANER THAN HERS.
AND I FIGURED OUT HOW TO PUT THE WATER PUMP
BACK INSIDE THE CAR.
- YEAH. SO I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU SAY?
WILL YOU HELP ME OUT HERE?
- OKAY. - GREAT.
- OKAY. - NOW, HERE'S THE DEAL.
SEE, NOW IT'S GONNA BE HARD WORK.
I MEAN, WE'RE GONNA GET STUCK SOMETIMES.
WE WON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING.
AND, UH, WELL, THAT MEANS WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO READ THE MANUAL TO HELP US OUT.
- I'M NOT GOOD AT READING.
- WELL, HERE WE GO.
SEE, MY EYES ARE OLD.
AND, UH, THE PRINT IS REALLY SMALL.
I CAN'T DO THIS ON MY OWN.
IT'S, UH-- IT'S UP TO YOU, KID.

YOU WOULD PASS UP ON MONEY, BUT HE SAID
THAT IT'S REALLY COOL THAT YOU DID.
- THAT WAS VERY NICE OF HIM TO SAY.
DID HE EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY I PASSED UP ON THE MONEY?
- HE SAID YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BE IN BED WITH HARRY LERNER.
AND THEN I SAID THAT I WOULDN'T WANT
HARRY LERNER IN MY BED EITHER.
AND THEN HE SAID THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A METAPHOR,
