- HEY. - HEY.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
- WE COULD, YOU KNOW, DO THE JOB TOGETHER.
- JUST LIKE WE USED TO. - EXCEPT THAT I'M THE BOSS.
- [chuckles]
- YOU REALLY MISSED ME, HUH?
- YOU'RE TELLING ME.
- I BEGGED YOU TO TELL ME
IF ANYTHING HAPPENED, AND YOU SAID...
- I SAID NOTHING. - NOTHING.
I'M MOVING OUT, JULIA.
- JOEL, PLEASE.
- AND THE KIDS AT SCHOOL ARE STARTING TO NOTICE
THAT MAX HAS HIS... DIFFERENCES.
AND HE'S ALL ALONE.
- ANOTHER EXAMPLE FROM THE STATE TEST OF 2005
WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE ROLE OF THE UNION BLOCKADE IN--
YES, MAX?
- THE RAILROADS WERE ALSO DEVELOPING
AT THE TIME OF THE UNION BLOCKADE.
- YES, IT WAS.
- THE NORTH HAD APPROXIMATELY
22,000 MILES OF RAILROAD,
WHILE THE SOUTH ONLY HAD 9,000.
- ALL TRUE. - THE SOUTH ALSO DIDN'T USE
THE COMMON GAUGE THAT THE NORTH USED,
WHICH WAS THE 4'8 1/2" GAUGE.
- WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE RAILROAD
UNTIL LATER THIS WEEK. NOW--
- PHOTOGRAPHY WAS ALSO ANOTHER TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT
OF THE CIVIL WAR ERA.
IT WAS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE COTTON GIN.
- MAX, THAT'S GREAT, BUT WE'RE DISCUSSING
THE UNION BLOCKADE RIGHT--
- DID YOU KNOW THAT MANY OF MATHEW BRADY'S
FAMOUS BATTLEFIELD PHOTOS WERE ACTUALLY STAGED?
THEY FIGURED THAT OUT BECAUSE THE SAME DEAD GUYS
KEPT APPEARING IN EVERY PHOTO.
THERE'S A DEAD GUY OVER HERE, AND THERE'S
THE SAME DEAD GUY IN THE OTHER PHOTO.
HE WOULDN'T MOVE. - MAX.
- LIBRARY? - GO.
OKAY, LET'S GET BACK TO THE UNION BLOCKADE.
- DON'T LAUGH AT MY SURFBOARD DRAWING.
- NO, NO, NO, I LIKE IT.
- I THOUGHT THIS COULD BE COOL IF WE GET--
WITH A SKY, RATHER.
I MEAN, IT WOULDN'T BE TOO CLOUDY,
'CAUSE IT'S GONNA BE SUNNY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- HOW DO YOU WANNA SHOOT THE WHOLE THING?
- WELL, IT'S A LITTLE BIT LOOSE, YOU KNOW.
WE'VE GOTTA BE IF WE'RE OUTSIDE,
AND JUST SEE HOW THE LIGHT IS
AND WE'LL JUST SHOOT IT.
- JUST SHOOT IT. - YEAH.
- [chuckles] OKAY.
- YOU DON'T LIKE THAT? - WELL, YOU'RE THE BOSS.
YOU'RE THE BOSS, ALL RIGHT?
- SAY IT AGAIN.
IS--IS THIS GONNA BE OKAY, WORKING--
- YEAH. - YOU WORKING FOR ME?
- WHY WOULDN'T IT BE OKAY? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
BECAUSE I HAVE, UM, DECADES OF EXPERIENCE
AND I LOST OUT TO SOMEBODY
WHOSE BIG PLAN IS TO JUST SHOOT?
- [sighs]
YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THE LIGHT.
- I HATE TO TELL YOU THIS. IT'S NOT GONNA WORK.
- OKAY. - NOT GONNA WORK THIS WAY.
- I WOULD LIKE TO BE A GOOD TEAM PLAYER,
AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, WHAT WOULD YOUR IDEA BE?
- HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. - HOW WOULD YOU DO IT?
- OKAY, 'CAUSE I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS.
WE CAN GET WHAT YOU'RE GOING FOR.
WE GET SOME WIDE SHOTS OF THE BEACH,
COME BACK, WE DO THE REST IN THE STUDIO.
- I DON'T WANNA DO THE REST IN THE STUDIO.
WE GOTTA PHOTOSHOP IT. - YES.
- YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE PHOTOSHOP. - I DON'T.
PHOTOSHOP IS FAKE AND ARTIFICIAL,
BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.
WE'RE DOING A BROCHURE.
I'M GONNA SHOW YOU.
YOU'RE VERY LUCKY... - OH, MY GOD.
- I'M HERE WITH YOU ON THIS, ALL RIGHT?
- ALL RIGHT, YOU SHOULD BE ALL SET UP.
LET ME JUST CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE GETTING A SIGNAL.
OKAY.
AND IT LOOKS STRONG.
- OH, YEAH, REALLY? - EXCELLENT.
- OKAY, WELL, THAT'S GOOD.
WE GOT CANCER BEAMS RUNNING THROUGH US ALL TIMES.
- OH-- - ALL THROUGH THE AIR.
- IT'S PERFECTLY SAFE. - HMPH.
- I JUST GOT BACK FROM A PAINTING WORKSHOP IN ITALY,
AND MY INSTRUCTOR WANTS TO CONTINUE THE CLASS ONLINE,
SO... - SOUNDS FUN.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO CALL YOUR NETWORK?
- HOW ABOUT "CANCER BEAMS"? - [stammers]
UM, "VILLA CAMILLE."
YES, THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO CALL IT--
VILLA CAMILLE.
- VILLA CAMILLE.
- YOU KNOW, MY SON ACTUALLY DID GO THROUGH
A FEW I.E.P.s, AND IT WAS VERY OVERWHELMING.
I SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE THEY'RE... - KRISTINA.
- PURPOSEFULLY TRYING... - KRISTINA.
- TO CONFUSE YOU SO THAT-- - HEY, KRISTINA.
- WHAT? - HANG UP.
- HOLD ON A SECOND. I KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW HOW OUR SITUATION CAN HELP YOU,
BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
IS REALLY HARD TO SORT OF NAVIGATE.
- KRISTINA, I HAVE AN EMERGENCY!
- OKAY. - CAN YOU GET OFF
THE PHONE, PLEASE?
- UM, COFFEE? I'D LOVE TO.
- KRISTINA, OH, MY GOD!
THE BABY'S EATING THE KITTY LITTER!
- THAT SOUNDS GREAT. - I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP IT!
- THANK YOU, BYE. - HELP!
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THAT WAS SO RUDE.
- BOUNDARIES. - I HAVE BOUNDARIES.
- YOU HAVE TO SET BOUNDARIES.
- HONEY, THIS POOR WOMAN, I FELT SO BAD FOR HER.
SHE WOULDN'T HANG UP. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
LIKE, SHE NEEDS OUR HELP.
- BUT YOU HAVE TO TELL CAROLINE LEE
TO STOP GIVING OUT YOUR PHONE NUMBER TO PEOPLE.
- OKAY, WE-- - SHE CAN'T EXPECT YOU
TO SOLVE EVERY LITTLE WOUNDED BIRD'S PROBLEM.
- WE WERE ONCE THE WOUNDED BIRD, HONEY.
WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT AN I.E.P. WAS.
- I KNOW WE DIDN'T... - IT'S OVERWHELMING.
- BUT YET WE FIGURED IT OUT.
- WE DID. YOU'RE RIGHT. WE DID.
- SO I JUST THINK YOU SHOULD SET SOME LIMITS.
- WELL, I'M JUST GONNA HAVE COFFEE WITH HER.
- THAT'S HOW IT STARTS. - NO.
I'M JUST GONNA HAVE COFFEE.
- THAT'S HOW IT STARTS. - NO.
- YEAH. - YOU'LL SEE.
- OH, I WILL. WE'LL SEE.
- WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT WHY YOU'RE HERE TODAY?
- OKAY.
UM...
- UM...
- ON THE PHONE,
YOU MENTIONED HAVING SOME TOUGH NEWS
TO BREAK TO YOUR CHILDREN,
UH, SYDNEY AND VICTOR?
9 AND 11?
- RIGHT. - YEAH.
- YEAH? - YEAH, UM...
WELL, WE'RE JUST, YOU KNOW,
WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF--
- I'M MOVING OUT.
AND I JUST--WE WANT TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY
TO, UM, TELL THAT TO THE KIDS, YOU KNOW.
MAKE A SMOOTH TRANSITION.
NOT LIKE ANYTHING LIKE THIS CAN BE SMOOTH.
WE JUST WANT TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY FOR THEM.
- SURE, OF COURSE.
WELL, IT WOULD HELP ME GIVE BETTER ADVICE
IF I HAD A BETTER SENSE OF THE SITUATION.
- RIGHT.
- DO YOU MIND IF I ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS?
- NO. - NO.
- ARE THE CHILDREN AWARE
OF ANYTHING HAPPENING AT HOME?
DO THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON?
- UM, YES, THEY-- THEY ARE AWARE OF IT.
UM, MY DAUGHTER, SYDNEY,
ASKED WHY WE'RE FIGHTING SO MUCH.
- SO WE JUST WANT TO TRY AND AVOID THAT, YOU KNOW.
WE DON'T WANT TO FIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR KIDS.
- OKAY, WELL, THIS IS A TOUGH QUESTION,
BUT HAVE YOU DEFINITELY DECIDED TO DIVORCE,
OR IS THIS A TRIAL SEPARATION
WITH THE HOPES OF RECONCILIATION?
- IT'S A TRIAL SEPARATION
WITH HOPES OF RECONCILIATION.
UM, I HAVE HOPES OF RECONCILIATION.
- I...
I-I DON'T KNOW,
UH, RIGHT NOW.
- OKAY.
WELL, UNCERTAINTY IS-- IT'S TOUGH FOR KIDS.
BUT SOMETIMES THERE'S JUST NO AVOIDING IT.
WHY DON'T WE TALK ABOUT THE TOOLS WE CAN USE
TO HELP MINIMIZE THEIR ANXIETY?
OKAY? - OKAY. SURE.

- THEY'VE BEEN IN THERE FOREVER.
I MEAN, THAT CAN'T BE GOOD, CAN IT?
- LOOK, IT'S JUST A LITTLE, TINY WATER STAIN
ON THE CEILING.
IT'S GONNA BE FINE. - NO.
THREE MONTHS AGO, IT WAS A LITTLE, TINY STAIN.
NOW IT'S AN ENORMOUS STAIN. - [sighs]
- I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE WATER HEATER
WAS EVEN IN THE ATTIC.
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
- I WASN'T POSITIVE OF ITS LOCATION,
BUT I DID NOT SEE IT ON THE GROUND FLOOR,
SO, YEAH, I THOUGHT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN OPTION.
- WHEN CAN WE GO INSIDE? - IN A MINUTE.
THE GUY WILL BE--HE'S GONNA COME OUT HERE AND CLEAR US.
OH, HERE WE GO. - HERE HE COMES.
- IT LOOKS LIKE THE GUY WHO TOOK E.T. AWAY.
- [laughs] IT'S OKAY.
- WE ALL CLEAR? - OH, CONGRATULATIONS.
YOU GOT MOLD.
- UGH. - OH, COME ON.
- [sighs]
- I DIDN'T GIVE US MOLD.
- JUST A LITTLE STAIN, HUH?
- [sniffs]
- YEAH, I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW,
I DON'T TRUST ANY OF THOSE GUYS.
THERE'S NOT A SHRED OF MEDICAL OR SCIENTIFIC PROOF
THAT THIS MOLD HYSTERIA IS WARRANTED.
- UNCLE ADAM, HI. - HEY.
- SORRY FOR ALL THIS.
- DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
YOU GUYS MAKE YOURSELVES AT HOME.
- OOH, CAN I PLAY THE RECORDS? - AH, AH, AH.
NO, NO, NO, NO. YOU GOT HOMEWORK TO DO, SO--
- HEY, GRAB THIS, BUDDY. - WE'LL BE, YOU KNOW--
- MAKE YOURSELVES AT HOME. - WON'T BE IN YOUR WAY.
HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE AT THE RITZ,
IF DADDY'S GOT THE GOOD INSURANCE POLICY.
- [chuckles] - YEAH, LET'S SEE
WHAT KIND OF INSURANCE POLICY DADDY HAS.
- YOU ALL RIGHT THERE, BUDDY?
- YEAH, I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW,
THIS WHOLE THING IS A RACKET.
IT'S UTTER BUNK. HAVE YOU EVER DEALT WITH THIS?
- YEAH, MOLD IS SERIOUS. - YEAH, NO KIDDING.
- CAN CAUSE SOME REAL BAD RESPIRATORY ISSUES.
- WE HAD A SPOT THIS BIG. THIS BIG, ADAM.
THEY COME IN IN HAZMAT SUITS
TO CAUSE HYSTERIA AND PANIC.
THE WHOLE THING'S A RACKET.
- COULD'VE BEEN THAT BLACK MOLD, MAN.
- THEY TRADE IN FEAR, AND THE WHOLE THING--
HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO. OKAY.
WE'RE GOING TO THE RITZ.
WE'RE GOING TO THE R--
HEY, WILL YOU LOOK AT-- - WHAT?
- WILL YOU LOOK AT THIS SPREADSHEET FOR ME?
- [laughs] DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT A SPREADSHEET IS?
- WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE--
- WHAT? - HOWDY DOODY,
COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK AT THIS DOCUMENT
FOR ONE SECOND? - [whispers] OH...OH.
- OKAY.
- RIGHT THERE? - YES.
- OKAY, "YOUR POLICY DOES NOT COVER WATER DAMAGE--"
- YOU DON'T NEED TO YELL IT. - I'M NOT SHOUTING.
- YOU CAN READ WITH YOUR EYES, NOT YOUR MOUTH.
- OH, I SEE. - HERE'S WHAT I'M ASKING.
WE--WE HAD ON THE CEILING
A LITTLE BIT OF WATER, ALL RIGHT?
BUT I DON'T THINK IT CONSTITUTES
CONTINUOUS WATER SEEPAGE.
- WELL, HOW LONG WAS IT THERE?
- THREE OR FOUR MONTHS. - FOUR MONTHS?
INSURANCE COMPANY'S NOT GONNA LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THAT.
YOU'RE NOT STAYING AT THE RITZ.
THEY'RE NOT GONNA PUT YOU UP AT A HOTEL.
YOU'RE GONNA BE STAYING AT MOM AND DAD'S GUESTHOUSE.
- WE ARE NOT STAYING AT MOM AND DAD'S GUESTHOUSE.
- IT'S FOUR MONTHS. - I'D RATHER STAY IN A MINIVAN.
- YOU BETTER CALL THEM AND HAVE THEM FRESHEN UP THE SHEETS.
- EVERYTHING OKAY? - WHAT'S WRONG--Y-YEAH.
- YEAH? - GET READY TO PICK OUT
YOUR ROOM SERVICE ITEMS FROM THE RITZ.
- YEAH, WELL, CAMILLE... AND ROOM SERVICE...
- 'CAUSE WE GOT A PRETTY GOOD POLICY HERE.
- SHOULD BE PRETTY INTERESTING, YOU IN THE GUESTHOUSE.
THAT'LL BE NICE, HUH?
- WHERE'D THAT--OH. - [chuckles]
- AND THIS I.E.P. STUFF, IT'S JUST--
IT'S A DISASTER.
I AM TOTALLY... - IT'S FRUSTRATING.
- OVERWHELMED. - IT'S OVERWHELMING.
- YES, ABSOLUTELY. - DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL.
IT'S LIKE THEY DO THIS TO PARENTS ON PURPOSE.
I WENT THROUGH THE SAME THING WITH MAX.
- UGH. - IT WAS INSANE.
SO, LISTEN, BEFORE WE GET INTO--
I JUST--I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT I'M SO HAPPY TO HELP YOU IN ANY WAY THAT I CAN.
I JUST HAVE SO MUCH...
- OH. RIGHT. - GOING ON AT THE HOUSE...
RIGHT NOW WITH MY OWN. - OH, NO, NO, NO, PLEASE.
- THERE'S STUFF THAT'S-- - I'M SURE.
I TOTALLY GET IT. - YEAH.
- AND I'M JUST SO GRATEFUL FOR...
- YOU GOT IT. - ANY HELP.
- SO TELL ME ABOUT KIARA.
HER STUDIES, WHAT SHE'S DOING--
- OKAY, SHE HAS AN INCREDIBLE MIND
FOR MATH AND SCIENCE, AND SCHOOL,
IT'S JUST NOT CHALLENGING HER AT ALL.
- RIGHT. - AND I'M SO FRUSTRATED.
YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE HER IN CLASS
WITH THESE KIDS THAT--
- THEY'RE LOWER FUNCTIONING. - YES, THEY ARE.
AND SHE DOESN'T FIT THERE AT ALL.
- AND IT'S FRUSTRATING. - YES.
- YEP.
- I MEAN, LOOK.
MY KID READS QUANTUM PHYSICS FOR FUN.
- WOW. - WHAT SHE'S CAPABLE OF--
THE SCHOOL JUST TREATS HER LIKE SHE'S A PROBLEM
AND SOMETHING THEY JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH.
- RIGHT. UM, OKAY,
SO WHEN IS HER I.E.P. SCHEDULED FOR?
- TOMORROW.
- TOMORROW, LIKE, TOMORROW-- - YES.
- IT'S OKAY. DON'T LET IT OVERWHELM YOU.
- I'VE JUST BEEN PARA-- I'VE JUST BEEN PARALYZED.
- IT'S OKAY. - IT'S SO STUPID.
- IT'S OKAY. UM, THEN I THINK
WE SHOULD PROBABLY GET TO WORK.
- YEAH.
- MAYBE GET SOME COFFEE. - OKAY. I HAVE--
- GOOD MORNING, SAN FRANCISCO.
THIS IS SCOTT GOLS FLYING OVER THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE,
LOOKING DOWN... [knock at door]
OVER BEAUTIFUL CLEAR SKIES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
WITH TEMPERATURES THAT ARE IN THE...
- I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE YOU.
- HI. IT IS.
I'M TOLD THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
WHO HAS A PACKAGE FOR ME.
- WELL, I DON'T KNOW, BUT I HAVE ONE.
- [chuckles]
- [clears throat] - WOW.
WHAT IS ALL THIS?
- OH, UH-- - THIS A SNEAK PEEK
AT THE SURFSPORT'S 2014 ANNUAL REPORT?
- WELL, I'M NOT SURE.
I'M WORKING ON A COUPLE DIFFERENT THINGS.
THIS WAS A WHOLE BEACH CONCEPT, AND, UH--
- LOVE IT. THIS CONCEPT LOOKS AMAZING.
- YEAH? - SO GOOD. YES.
ALEC'S GONNA BE THRILLED.
- YEAH, THIS WAS SORT OF AN IDEA
IF WE WERE GONNA DO IT AT THE BEACH,
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE, UM,
HANK THINKS WE'RE GONNA BE SAFER IN THE--
IN THE STUDIO.
- WAIT--HANK SAYS? WHY?
WHAT'S HANK HAVE TO DO WITH IT?
- WELL, I HIRED HIM AS MY ASSISTANT, YOU KNOW.
HE'S GOT A LOT OF EXPERIENCE AND--
- HIRED THE GUY THAT YOU BEAT OUT FOR THE JOB?
- I HIRED A GUY I USED TO WORK FOR
BECAUSE HE HAS 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TO MY 1,
AND HE SAID HE'D HELP ME. - HMM. ALL RIGHT.
SO HE'S IN CHARGE NOW, OR HE'S--
- NO, HE'S NOT IN CHARGE.
HE'S NOT IN CHARGE.
IT'S JUST, I DID THIS WHOLE BEACH CONCEPT,
AND--AND, YOU KNOW, HE'S WORRIED ABOUT THE WEATHER.
WE CAN'T CONTROL THE LIGHT. - HMM.
- AND HE FEELS LIKE WE CAN CAPTURE THE SAME STUFF
IN THE STUDIO, SO-- - SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD.
I GUESS HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.
- YEAH. - MAYBE.
- I MEAN, REALLY, HE WAS LIKE, "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SHOOT AT THE BEACH," SO--
- YOU KNOW, IT'S ALSO IMPOSSIBLE
TO ERADICATE CHOLERA IN MUMBAI.
- DID YOU DO THAT?
- NO, BUT IT'S NOT GONNA KEEP ME FROM TRYING.
[chuckles]
- UGH, LOOK, IT'S--
I HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE, YOU KNOW,
I'M POTENTIALLY IN OVER MY HEAD.
- YOU'RE NOT, SARAH. YOU'RE--YOU'RE...
OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE.
- MM. - RIGHT?
THERE'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
BECAUSE, LOOK, THE WORK'S RIGHT HERE.
YOU WERE HIRED FOR YOUR VISION, AND HERE IT IS.
I SEE IT, RIGHT?
IF THEY WANTED HANK'S WORK, THEY WOULD'VE HIRED HANK.
- HMM.
[video game music]
- OH, LOOK OUT, THERE'S SOMETHING IN FRONT OF YOU.
- BIRDS INCOMING. - ALL RIGHT.
I GUESS IT'S... GUESS IT'S TIME.
- I KNOW.
- ALL RIGHT.
- HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN PLAYING TOGETHER?
- SINCE THEY GOT HOME FROM SCHOOL.
- OH, I GOT THE COIN. - HA-HA!
- YOU GET THE ONES-- GET THE ONES UP THERE, GO.
- YEAH, A YEAR AGO, THIS WAS...
ALL WE COULD THINK ABOUT.
GETTING THEM TO THIS POINT.
- OH, YOU'RE GONNA GET EATEN.
[laughs]
- MAYBE YOU--
TOMORROW.
- OOH!
OOH! OH, GOSH.
- HERE, GET ALL THE COINS.
- YEAH.
- MONET ADORED PAINTING OUTDOORS.
HE MET A LANDSCAPE ARTIST WHILE LIVING IN LE HAVRE,
AND THIS ARTIST ACTUALLY...
- OH, THAT'S NICE, YEAH.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
- I'M IN CLASS. - OH.
CLASS, HUH?
YOU'RE DRINKING ALONE AND EATING HAM.
WHAT A CLASS. [chuckles]
- HAVE SOME PROSCIUTTO. IT'S DELICIOUS.
- OH, THANKS.
- AH.
- HUH.
SO, UH, WHERE IS SHE?
- WELL, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ITALY,
BUT SHE'S IN FRANCE.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FRENCH IMPRESSIONISTS YESTERDAY,
AND SO SHE JUST HOPPED ON A TRAIN
AND WENT TO MONET'S GARDEN.
- REALLY? - YEAH.
- WELL, THAT'S A LONG WAY TO GO TO A GARDEN.
- YEAH, IT'S PRETTY WONDERFUL.
I FEEL LIKE I'M BACK IN FIRENZE.
FRANCESCA SAYS THAT IT'S A GOOD IDEA
TO CREATE AN ARTISTIC SPACE
AROUND YOU WHEN YOU WORK.
I THINK SHE'S RIGHT.
IT FEELS INCREDIBLE.
[instructor continues in background]
- HMM.
- GO WORK ON YOUR CAR.
- HEY. IS THAT YOUR MATH HOMEWORK?
- YEAH.
- YOU'RE NOWHERE NEAR DONE WITH THAT.
- IT'S OKAY, I CAN FINISH IT DURING HISTORY.
- MAX, YOU CAN'T DO MATH HOMEWORK DURING HISTORY CLASS.
- YEAH, I CAN, IF I GET SENT TO THE LIBRARY,
WHICH THERE'S A 72% CHANCE THAT I WILL.
- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
- WELL, OUT OF THE 29 CLASS DAYS THIS SEMESTER,
I'VE BEEN SENT TO THE LIBRARY 21 TIMES.
- ALL RIGHT, HOLD ON A SECOND.
WHO IS SENDING YOU TO THE LIBRARY?
- MR. WYMAN. [school bell rings]
- AND WHY IS HE SENDING YOU TO THE LIBRARY?
- I DON'T KNOW. THAT WAS THE FIRST BELL.
- MAX, LISTEN, THERE'S GOTTA BE A REASON
WHY HE'S SENDING YOU TO THE LIBRARY.
- I DON'T KNOW. BYE, DAD. - MAX--
THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
[sighs]
- JUST A LITTLE MORE HERE.
- HANK... - SMOOTH IT OUT.
WHAT?
- I THINK-- I REALLY THINK
WE SHOULD SHOOT AT THE BEACH.
- THAT'S A BAD IDEA. IT'S--
OH, COME ON. I TOLD YOU THIS.
YOU DON'T GO TO THE BEACH FOR A CORPORATE ANNUAL REPORT.
- WHY NOT? - BECAUSE YOU'RE ON A BUDGET.
YOU'RE ON A DEADLINE, AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET THE SHOTS.
- YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
- I DO KNOW IT. I DO KNOW THAT.
- I JUST FEEL LIKE I SOLD THE GUY, YOU KNOW,
I GOT THE JOB BECAUSE I HAD A VISION,
AND HE LOVED THE IDEA OF SHOOTING AT THE BEACH.
- WELL, I MEAN-- - WHAT? OH. HERE IT IS.
- NO, I'M NOT GONNA SAY ANYTHING.
- HERE IT IS. NO, NO.
I CAN'T WAIT. - WELL, YOU GOT IT
BECAUSE, YEAH, OKAY, YOU HAD A VISION,
BUT ALSO, IT HELPED THAT YOU--
SLEEPING WITH THE TUXEDO GUY, RIGHT?
- OH, MY GOD. [exhales]
THAT IS NOT TRUE.
- YOU'RE NOT SLEEPING WITH HIM?
- I DIDN'T--
THAT'S NOT WHY I GOT THE JOB.
THAT'S SO INSULTING.
THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU JUST SAID TO ME.
- HERE'S THE THING: I DON'T GET THESE JOBS
BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE PERSONALITY THEY WANT.
- YEAH. - OKAY, BUT THEN THEY--
THEY GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY WHO HAS NO EXPERIENCE.
- I DON'T HAVE NO EXPERIENCE. - YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE.
- I THOUGHT YOU WERE HERE TO HELP ME.
- I AM HERE TO HELP YOU. I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU.
- I'M SORRY. I GOT THE JOB.
THE WORLD ISN'T FAIR, OKAY?
BUT I BROUGHT YOU IN TO BE MY HELPER.
- WELL, IT DIDN'T WORK. IT'S NOT WORKING.
I GOT THE BIG STARFISH AND EVERYTHING.
LET'S JUST-- YOU KNOW, I TRIED TO DO THIS.
IT'S JUST NOT WORTH IT.
- WELL, DON'T WALK AWAY. - IT'S JUST NOT WORTH IT.
- YOU'RE KIDDING ME!
YOU'RE NOT WALKING OUT.
OH, MY GOD.
- OKAY.
I ADMIT THIS IS NOT THE RITZ.
BUT OUR PROXIMITY TO THE VENDING MACHINE--
OH! IT'S UNPARALLELED.
- OH, GOD, LOOK AT THAT. - LOOK AT THIS.
I MEAN, WE ARE INCHES AWAY.
- OH, GREAT, GREAT. - UH-HUH.
- YOU KNOW, I REALLY HOPE THIS ISN'T
FOR MORE THAN A FEW DAYS,
BECAUSE WE CAN'T-- WE CAN'T STAY HERE.
- WE CAN S-- WE CAN DO THIS.
- NO. - WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK.
YOU JUST GOTTA HAVE THE RIGHT MENTAL ATTITUDE.
YOU CAN'T THINK OF IT AS BEING STUCK IN A HOTEL.
- A MOTEL. IT'S A MOTEL.
- TO-MAY-TO, TO-MAH-TO. IN A MOTEL.
YOU'VE GOTTA THINK OF IT AS, LIKE,
A FORCED FAMILY BONDING EXERCISE.
- MM.
- AND THEN IT STARTS SOUNDING REAL FUN.
- OKAY. - YOU KNOW HOW CLOSE
WE'RE GONNA BE WHEN WE LEAVE HERE?
- YAY. - RIGHT?
- SO WHAT HAPPENS IF IT'S FOR MORE THAN A FEW DAYS?
YOU KNOW, LIKE, WHAT DO WE DO THEN?
WE CAN'T KEEP PAYING FOR A MOTEL.
- MM-HMM. - CAN'T MOVE INTO MY MOM'S PLACE
'CAUSE IT'S TOO SMALL, AND THE ONLY OTHER PEOPLE
WITH EXTRA ROOM ARE... - NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
- YOU KNOW, IS YOUR... - NO, NO, NO, DON'T START...
- PARENTS. - THROWING THAT OUT HERE.
THAT'S NOT AN OPTION. - WHY NOT?
- I LOVE YOU AND THE BABIES TOO MUCH.
TO PUT YOU IN THAT SITUATION WOULD BE...
- READY TO GO TO THE POOL. - CATASTROPHIC.
- SEE?
THAT'S THE ATTITUDE I'M TALKING ABOUT.
THAT'S THE ATTITUDE OF A WINNER, RIGHT?
- WHOO! - CANNONBALL CITY, POOL TIME.
- YEAH. - ARE YOU UP FOR A SWIM?
- AWESOME. - YEAH?
- YAY. - WHO'S THIS?
IT'S THE MOLD DUDE. MAYBE HE'S DONE.
- GOOD, GOOD, GOOD. - MAYBE HE'S DONE.
- PLEASE. - HELLO?
[baby crying] YEAH, THIS IS HIM.
UH-HUH. WELL--WELL, HOW--
WELL, HOW--WHAT--HEY. [snaps] HOW MUCH--
WHAT'S "LONGER" MEAN? WHAT--
WHAT?
- UGH. - NO, NO, NO.
- I WAS THINKING I'D PICK THE KIDS UP
FROM SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, BRING 'EM BACK HERE.
- I BETTER DO IT. THEY'LL KNOW SOMETHING'S UP.
- YEAH, YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT. OKAY.
SO, UH, I GUESS WE'LL JUST MEET BACK HERE.
- YEP. - [groans]
AND THEN... AND THEN WE JUST DO IT.
WE JUST...
WE JUST TELL THEM.
- YEAH, I GUESS SO.
- IT'S GONNA BE OKAY, YOU KNOW.
UH, IT'S GONNA BE HARD, BUT IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
- IS IT?
- I GOTTA GO. I'LL SEE YOU THIS AFTERNOON.
- JOEL.
- [sighs]
YEAH?
- DON'T DO IT.
DON'T MOVE OUT.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND, YOU KNOW.
WE CAN JUST--
WE CAN--
WE CAN WORK ON THE MARRIAGE, AND I CAN...
BE DIFFERENT OR TRY HARDER.
AND JUST...
DON'T GIVE UP ON ME.
COME--
- I'M SO SORRY.
I WISH WE WEREN'T AT THIS POINT.
BUT WE ARE.
I GOTTA GO.
- WE'VE HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK OVER THE I.E.P.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
- HONESTLY, UH, WE'RE NOT FEELING SO GOOD.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO REOPEN THE DISCUSSION
UNDER SECTION FIVE AND REQUEST THAT KIARA
BE PUT BACK IN THE MAINSTREAM CLASSROOM
WITH THE HELP OF A ONE-ON-ONE PARAPROFESSIONAL AIDE.
- [exhales]
THOSE AIDES CAN DO TREMENDOUS WORK, CAN'T THEY?
- YES. - THERE ARE TWO REASONS
WHY I DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT
FOR THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION.
ONE, WE DON'T LIKE TO PUT AIDES
IN THE HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES.
IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, THEY'RE FABULOUS,
BUT BEYOND THAT,
THE RESULTS ARE VERY RARELY WORTH
THE DISTRACTIONS.
AND TWO, THE COSTS ARE PROHIBITIVE,
EXCEPT WHEN THE SITUATION ABSOLUTELY REQUIRES IT.
- MAY I SAY SOMETHING?
I THINK THAT KIARA IS SUCH A GREAT STUDENT.
SHE'S SMART AS A WHIP, AND I THINK THAT
SHE'S COLLEGE BOUND,
BUT IN ORDER FOR HER TO GET THERE,
SHE NEEDS TO BE IN A SETTING
THAT CHALLENGES HER ACADEMICALLY...
- MRS. BRAVERMAN, I-- - AND SOCIALLY AND--
YES? - WE TRIED PUTTING HER
IN A MAINSTREAM CLASSROOM LAST YEAR,
AND HER GRADES SUFFERED.
- YES, BUT THE WORKLOAD WAS NOT THE ISSUE.
IT--IT'S JUST--IT'S--
THE CLASSROOM WAS A LITTLE OVERWHELMING.
AND SO I'M THINKING THAT IF SHE HAS THE AIDE,
MAYBE SHE CAN KEEP UP.
- I THINK THE BEST THING TO DO
IS TO FIND A WAY TO CHALLENGE HER
WHILE KEEPING HER IN THE SPECIAL ED ROOM.
- AND HOW WOULD YOU DO THAT? HOW?
I MEAN, I'VE SEEN THE SPECIAL ED ROOM,
AND SHE DOES NOT BELONG THERE.
I'M SORRY, JUST-- IT'S FRUSTRATING.
- WHAT IF WE OFFER AN ADDITIONAL CHECK-IN EACH DAY
WITH THE SPECIAL ED TEACHER, MRS. CRUMLEY?
I THINK BRINGING THE CHECK-INS FROM TWO TO THREE
WILL HELP THE CHILD TREMENDOUSLY.
- OK--THAT SOUNDS-- THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD WORK.
- GOOD. ALL RIGHT.
MOVING ON TO SPEECH THERAPY--
UNLESS ANYONE HAS ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD?
OKAY.
- WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WE WERE ADVOCATING FOR.
- RIGHT.
- THIS POOR GIRL DOESN'T HAVE ANY OPTIONS.
LIKE, SHE SHOULDN'T BE IN MAINSTREAM,
BUT SHE SHOULDN'T BE IN SPECIAL ED,
SO IT'S LIKE, WHERE DO WE PUT HER?
- SOUNDS LIKE MAX.
- IT'S EXACTLY LIKE MAX. THAT'S THE THING.
I WAS SITTING THERE THE WHOLE TIME
TRYING TO COMPARE THE TWO SITUATIONS,
AND I COULDN'T, AND I'M, LIKE, THINKING, NEXT YEAR,
WHERE'S MAX GONNA BE FOR HIGH SCHOOL?
- NEXT YEAR. - NEXT YEAR.
YOU KNOW HOW FAST THAT WENT? - HIGH SCHOOL.
- LIKE, WHAT ARE WE DOING? - YEAH.
- [sighs] I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST FELT BADLY, 'CAUSE I WANTED TO HELP HER,
AND I DIDN'T.
I DIDN'T. - I'M SORRY.
LISTEN, I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS I.E.P. STUFF,
BUT CAN YOU HANDLE A LITTLE MORE POTENTIALLY BAD NEWS?
- ARE YOU KIDDING? - NO.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN? - MAX'S HISTORY TEACHER
HAS BEEN SENDING HIM TO THE LIBRARY
EVERY DAY DURING CLASS.
- WAIT, I'M SORRY, WHAT?
- I JUST FOUND OUT FROM MAX.
THE DETAILS I GOT WERE VAGUE,
BUT FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, THIS MR. WYMAN,
I THINK, JUST DOESN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH HIM.
- HE HAS TO DEAL WITH HIM.
HE CAN'T JUST SEND HIM TO THE LIBRARY.
- EDUCATIONALLY ADVOCATE THAT SITUATION.
- NO, THAT IS RIDICULOUS. HE CAN'T DO THAT.
WHAT IS HAPPENING THIS YEAR? - ADVOCATE HIS ASS.
- I'M GONNA ADVOCATE HIS ASS. - YEAH.
- WHAT IS HIS NAME?
- MR. WYMAN. - MR. WYMAN.
GUESS WHAT--I WANT YOU TO SET A MEETING WITH HIM.
- I DID ALREADY. - DO IT.
- WE'RE HAVING A MEETING. - WHEN?
- TOMORROW. - GOOD.
- WE'RE GONNA TALK TO MR. WYMAN.
- MR. HYMEN. - IT'S MR. WYMAN.
- WHATEVER. - DON'T--
- I'M GONNA BREAK HIM. - PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO ME.
- THE BEACH, YOU CAN'T-- YOU CAN'T ON A BUDGET.
YOU CAN'T GO TO THE BEACH. THERE'S SAND.
THERE'S WIND AT THE BEACH.
THE BEACH NEVER IS GOOD FOR A DEADLINE.
THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS.
- YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE BEACH
AND ONLY THE BEACH FOR THE ENTIRE AFTERNOON.
YOU'RE PERSEVERATING.
- PERS--PERS--WHAT?
- PERSEVERATING.
IT MEANS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ONE SUBJECT
OR ONE THING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.
WHILE YOU MAY FIND IT VERY INTERESTING,
OTHER PEOPLE GENERALLY FIND IT ANNOYING.
- PERSEVERATING, HUH?
- YEAH. - YEAH, WELL,
YOU DO THAT TOO, YOU KNOW.
- I KNOW, AND THEN YOU TELL ME THAT I'M BEING ANNOYING.
- [chuckles] OKAY.
YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT.
- I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU KEEP COMPLAINING
ABOUT THE BEACH.
I MEAN, YOU ALREADY QUIT THE JOB.
YOUR PROBLEM IS OVER.
- I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE.
- YOU'RE RIGHT.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD.
- HERE'S WHAT THE STINK OF IT IS:
I WAS ONLY TRYING TO HELP, OKAY?
- IT WAS INCORPORATED IN 1862
BY AN ACT OF CONGRESS.
- AND NOW I QUIT,
AND SHE'S GONNA FALL ON HER FACE.
THAT'S A METAPHOR, BY THE WAY.
SHE'S NOT REALLY GONNA FALL ON HER FACE.
SHE'S GONNA FAIL. FAIL BADLY.
- THE ACT WAS APPROVED BY PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
AND I DON'T THINK THAT AUNT SARAH WILL FAIL.
- HEY, THAT WAS GOOD.
YOU--YOU ACTUALLY STOPPED PERSEVERATING THERE.
YOU KNOW IT? YOU STARTED TALKING
ABOUT MY THING, INSTEAD OF YOURS.
YOU DID GOOD, MAX.
- THANK YOU.
AND I THINK THAT MY AUNT SARAH'S WAY
IS BETTER THAN YOURS.
- ALL RIGHT,
NOW YOU'RE BEING STUPID, OKAY?
GO BACK TO THE RAILROAD.
- I DON'T LIKE PHOTOSHOP,
AND I DON'T LIKE BEING OUTSIDE EITHER,
BUT WHEN YOU'RE OUTSIDE, THE PHOTOS COME OUT BETTER.
- YEAH, BUT THERE'S A RISK, OKAY?
THERE'S A RISK, AND WE'RE ON A BUDGET.
HERS IS A RISK. MINE, SURE THING.
- BUT YOURS ISN'T A SURE THING,
'CAUSE YOURS ISN'T HAPPENING.
YOU DIDN'T GET THE JOB. MY AUNT SARAH DID.
- YOU'RE A PRETTY SMART KID, MAX.
- I KNOW.

- THAT'S RIGHT. - WHAT'S WRONG?
- OKAY, UH,
FIRST OF ALL, YOUR MOM AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT WE BOTH JUST LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH.
AND, YOU KNOW, YOUR MOM AND I,
UH, HAVE BEEN FIGHTING A LOT LATELY.
I KNOW YOU'VE PICKED UP ON THAT.
AND WE DON'T WANT TO BE THOSE KIND OF PARENTS.
SO YOUR MOM AND I WERE THINKING--
I WAS THINKING
THAT IT'D BE BEST IF I MOVED OUT
FOR JUST A LITTLE WHILE.

WE'RE A FAMILY. YOU CAN'T GO.

SO, I MEAN, WHAT WERE THE ODDS OF THAT?
I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S THE BETTER WAY TO GO,
BUT...
YOU'RE THE BOSS.
- MAX IS A VERY BRIGHT STUDENT.
BUT HIS DISTRACTIONS MAKE IT HARD FOR ME
TO TEACH THE OTHER KIDS.
AND I FIND HE DOES REALLY WELL WORKING INDEPENDENTLY.
- WORKING INDEPENDENTLY? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE CALLING IT?
- MR. BRAVERMAN, I'M DOING MY BEST.
BUT I HAVE 29 KIDS IN THAT CLASS.
- OKAY, WE GET THAT YOU HAVE 29 KIDS IN YOUR CLASS,
BUT WHAT YOU'RE NOT REALIZING
IS THAT MAX IS ONE OF THEM.
I MEAN, THIS IS RIDICULOUS. [door opens]
- I FILLED PRINCIPAL RADFORD IN ON THE SITUATION.
HE THOUGHT IT'D BE BEST IF HE JOINED US.
- OH, GOOD, SO WE CAN TALK TO YOU
ABOUT HOW YOU'VE DECIDED TO LET HIM WORK INDEPENDENTLY
IN THE LIBRARY. - WE'VE BEEN IN THESE SEATS
A LOT THIS YEAR, HAVEN'T WE?
- YES, YES, WE HAVE.
- I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION. - I DON'T THINK YOU DO.
OTHERWISE, WE WOULDN'T BE SITTING IN THESE SEATS AGAIN.
- MR. BRAVERMAN, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
MR. WYMAN SHOULD'VE CONTACTED YOU WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED.
AND FOR THAT, I APOLOGIZE.
- THANK YOU. - BUT HERE'S THE BOTTOM LINE.
MAX HAS TROUBLE LEARNING
IN A MAINSTREAM CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT.
MR. WYMAN HAS TROUBLE TEACHING WHEN MAX IS THERE.
RIGHT NOW, NO ONE IS WINNING.
I KNOW THIS SOLUTION IS NOT IDEAL,
BUT FOR NOW, THE BEST WE CAN DO
IS TELL YOU THAT WHEN MAX HAS
A TOUGH OR DISRUPTIVE DAY,
HE'LL BE SENT TO THE LIBRARY TO WORK ON HIS OWN.
I THINK THAT'S A GOOD SOLUTION FOR EVERYONE.
- I DISAGREE. I THINK THAT HE SHOULD BE
IN THE CLASSROOM WITH HIS PEERS.
THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER SOLUTION.
CAN HE AT LEAST BE TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER CLASS?
- WE WILL LOOK INTO THAT.
HOWEVER, AT THIS TIME, I CAN ASSURE YOU,
WE ARE UTILIZING ALL OF OUR RESOURCES
TO SERVE MAX.
- SO WHAT, THAT'S IT?
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO? THAT'S IT?
- THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING AT ALL.
I'M SAYING IT'S A TOUGH SITUATION,
AND WE ARE DOING OUR BEST.
- WELL, I THINK THAT YOUR BEST IS UNACCEPTABLE.
I REALLY DO.
- YOU KNOW, THIS, UM,
ITALIAN ROAST STUFF IS PRETTY GOOD, YOU KNOW?
- RIGHT, ISN'T IT?
ISN'T IT WONDERFUL? - YEAH.
PRETTY STRANGE BEING HERE WITHOUT YOU, MILLIE.
- [laughs] YEAH, I'LL BET.
- I MEAN, A BIG HOUSE, JUST ME.
- WELL, THE KIDS CAME BY, DIDN'T THEY?
- YEAH, KIDS CAME BY. THAT WAS GREAT.
THAT WAS NICE.
YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T LIKE BEING HERE WITHOUT YOU.
AND NOW, UM,
NOW THAT YOU'RE BACK,
YOU'RE NOT ALL THE WAY BACK, YOU KNOW?
NOT ALL OF YOU IS HERE.
[snickers]
- [laughs] I'M ALL HERE.
- NO, I DON'T--I DON'T MEAN IT IN A BAD WAY.
YOU WENT OUT THERE, AND YOU HAD
THIS WONDERFUL ADVENTURE, THIS--
GOT A TASTE FOR LIFE.
AND YOU'RE HAPPY.
YOU'RE THE HAPPIEST I'VE EVER SEEN YOU.
- WELL, THAT'S A GOOD THING, RIGHT?
- YEAH. YEAH, IT'S A GOOD THING.
THE BAD THING, SWEETHEART, IS THAT, UH,
I CAN'T HELP BUT...
FEEL THAT...
I WAS THE ONE THAT WAS HOLDING YOU BACK
FROM BEING HAPPY.
- I JUST NEEDED A LITTLE ADVENTURE.
THAT'S ALL.
- I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU, MILLIE.
- YOU'RE NOT LOSING ME.
- SEE, WHILE YOU WERE GONE, I REALIZED THAT, UH...
OH, GOD.
IT'S HARD.
[exhales]
WELL, I--
IN OUR MARRIAGE, THAT...
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S MADE MOST OF THE COMPROMISES.
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S DONE MOST OF THE SACRIFICING.
YOU'VE BEEN HERE FOR THE FAMILY.
ALL THE TIME.
AND IF SELLING THIS HOUSE IS IMPORTANT TO YOU,
AND I KNOW IT IS,
THEN I'M WILLING TO DO THAT.
FOR YOU.
FOR US.
BECAUSE BEING IN THIS HOUSE WITHOUT YOU
IS JUST NOT GONNA WORK.
- OKAY. OKAY, JABBAR'S IN THE SHOWER.
I FOUND A CLEAN PAIR OF PANTS IN A BAG
THAT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE CLOTHES IN IT.
BUT, I MEAN, HE'S NOT GONNA MATCH,
BUT THEY'RE AT LEAST CLEAN.
I DIDN'T THINK WE HAD ANY LEFT.
HOW'S THAT GOING?
- NOT GOOD. - MM.
- THIS IS ALL GONNA COST US MONEY WE DON'T HAVE.
[sighs]
- WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S AN ESTIMATE.
YOU KNOW, THE GUY SAID TWO MONTHS IS AN ESTIMATE.
MAYBE IT'LL GO FASTER.
- OR MAYBE IT'LL GO SLOWER. I MEAN,
EVEN IF IT TOOK TWO WEEKS, WE CAN'T AFFORD THIS.
COME LOOK. - [murmuring]
- SEE FOR YOURSELF.
[metal crashes, toy squeaks]
- SHH! THE BABY'S SLEEPING! - I KNOW, I KNOW.
OH, NO, SHE'S NOT UP.
OKAY, I CAN'T LIVE IN THIS ROOM ANYMORE.
- YEAH, WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE IN THIS ROOM ANYMORE.
- THAT'S HOW MUCH IT'S GONNA COST TO STAY HERE?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
- THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY.
- HONEY, MY CHEST JUST CONSTRICTED.
LIKE, SINCERELY, I HAVE CONSTRICTION IN MY CHEST.
- [laughs] - LIKE THEY SAY.
- JUST BREATHE. [inhales]
WE'RE GONNA GET THROUGH IT. IT'S GONNA BE FINE.
- HOW CAN IT BE THAT MUCH? THIS PLACE IS A DUMP!
- YEP.
- HOW COME YOU'RE NOT ALL SPUN OUT ABOUT THIS?
- BECAUSE, UM, WELL, GROWING UP,
WE WENT THROUGH A LOT WORSE, SO...
WE GOT THROUGH IT THEN. WE'LL GET THROUGH IT NOW.
TOGETHER. WE GOT THIS. WE'LL--
- WHY DO YOU HAVE ZERO
FOR THE HOUSE RENTAL BUDGET?
WE'RE--IF WE'RE LEAVING HERE,
HOW ARE WE GONNA RENT A HOUSE FOR ZERO?
- I DOUBT YOUR PARENTS WILL CHARGE US RENT MONEY.
- MY PARENTS? WHAT--
- YEAH. YOU NEED TO CALL THEM.
- UH-- - YEAH, WELL--
- I'M NOT-- - THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
- [sighs]
OKAY, I'M GONNA CALL 'EM. - MM-HMM.
- BUT HONESTLY, WHEN YOU SAID THAT NOW,
MY ARM JUST GOT NUMB ON THE LEFT SIDE.
- AW, LET ME MASSAGE IT FOR YOU. - LIKE, IT'S FOR REAL.
CARDIAC ARREST. I KNOW YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY,
BUT THAT'S ONE OF THE SIGNS, IS YOUR THING GOES NUMB.
- IS IT? - YEAH, YOUR RIGHT OR LEFT.
- IT'S GONNA BE OKAY. - I'M NOT SURE WHICH ONE.
- I'LL JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE ALL WARMED UP.
- AS LONG AS MY PHONE DIALING HAND'S GOOD,
YOU'RE FINE. - EXACTLY, EXACTLY.
[footsteps approach]
- OKAY. THAT'S THE LAST OF IT.
- OKAY.
- UM, I WAS GONNA COME BY IN THE MORNING
AND TAKE THE KIDS TO SCHOOL.
- OKAY.
- SO I GUESS THAT'S EVERYTHING.
- I'LL WALK YOU OUT.
- OH, YOU DON'T--
YOU DON'T HAVE TO--
- [sighs]
- UM...
WHEN I, UH,
WHEN I PICK THE KIDS UP TOMORROW,
UM, SHOULD I USE THE KEY,
OR WOULD IT BE BETTER FOR YOU IF I KNOCKED?
- JUST COME IN.
- YEAH, OKAY.

- I'M JUST KIDDING. I'M KIDDING.
I MEAN, I HAVE A-- I HAVE A DINNER LATER,
BUT I'LL HAVE A DRINK NOW, YEAH.
- THEY GOT A LITTLE MEXICAN THING UP THE ROAD.
- OOH, GOOD.
- IT'S, UH, IT'S A DIVE-Y PLACE.
- THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
- YOU'RE BUYING. YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
- WHAT'S THAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
- YOU'RE THE BOSS. THE BOSS BUYS.
THAT'S, LIKE, CALIFORNIA CODE.
- [sighs] OKAY.
- STAYED UP THERE UNTIL NORA STARTED
HER SWEET LITTLE SNORE.
- [chuckles] OH.
- WHAT'S UP?
- UH, PRINCIPAL RADFORD CALLED.
- YEAH? - THEY'RE GONNA MOVE--YEAH.
THEY'RE GONNA MOVE MAX TO A DIFFERENT HISTORY CLASS.
WHICH IS GOOD. - THAT'S GOOD.
- YEAH.
- I GUESS.
- DOESN'T REALLY FEEL LIKE A VICTORY, THOUGH, DOES IT?
- NO. - IT'S SORT OF--
- FEELS LIKE A BAND-AID PLACED OVER A--
WHAT DO YOU CALL WHEN YOUR ARTERY
IS JUST SPURTING BLOOD, AND YOU--
- HIGH SCHOOL. - RIGHT.
- NO, I'M SERIOUS, HONEY. HIGH SCHOOL.
I'M WORRIED. I REALLY AM.
- I'M WORRIED TOO. - AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
HE'S NOT GOING TO THE PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL HERE.
HE CAN'T.
- [sighs] OKAY.
- YOU KNOW?
- WELL, WE'LL FIGHT THE DISTRICT
AND SEE IF WE CAN GET HIM PLACED SOMEWHERE ELSE.
- WHERE? - I DON'T KNOW.
- THIS IS A LIST OF SCHOOLS IN THE BAY AREA
FOR KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.
HE DOESN'T FIT IN ANYWHERE.
THERE'S NOWHERE TO PUT HIM.
- SO YOU'RE SAYING NO PUBLIC SCHOOL?
- NO.
- WELL, WHAT ABOUT GATEWAY?
NOEL LESSING'S DONE GREAT THERE.
- GATEWAY IS GREAT FOR KIDS LIKE NOEL LESSING.
HE HAS SEVERE AUTISM.
- WELL, I-- - YOU KNOW?
- WELL, WHAT ABOUT PROVIDENCE?
- MAX'S TEST SCORES ARE WAY TOO HIGH.
WAY TOO HIGH.
- SINCE WHEN ARE HIGH TEST SCORES PROBLEMATIC?
- I DON'T KNOW.
- I'M VERY FRUSTRATED, YOU KNOW.
I HATE TO SEE MAX GET SHUFFLED AROUND
ALL THE TIME LIKE THIS.
WHERE DO YOU PUT A KID WHO DOESN'T BELONG ANYWHERE?
- I DON'T KNOW. IT'S THE SYSTEM.
I MEAN, WE'RE STUCK WITH THE SYSTEM.
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THE ONLY WAY
TO GET A SCHOOL FOR HIM IS IF WE START ONE OURSELVES.
[keyboard clicking]
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING? - NOTHING.
I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING. - KRISTINA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
- I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING.
I JUST--JUST HOLD ON FOR A SECOND.
I MEAN, I'M JUST GONNA CHECK SOMETHING OUT.
- "HOW TO START A SCHOOL"? - NOTHING.
I'M NOT DOING THAT.
YOU-- - THAT'S CRAZY.
- IT'S SO INSANE.
IT'S INSANE... BUT IT ISN'T, IS IT?
- I THINK THAT THIS LOOKS LIKE A LOT
OF BUREAUCRATIC RED TAPE AND A WHOLE LOT OF WORK.
- I KNOW, BUT HOW HARD CAN IT BE?
I MEAN, THINK ABOUT IT.
YOU STARTED A STUDIO,
A RECORDING STUDIO, RIGHT?
- YES, THAT WAS NOT EASY. - YEAH.
- AND YOU RAN FOR MAYOR... - I DID.
- WHICH WAS ALSO NOT EASY.
- NOT EASY, BUT, I MEAN--
- AND, I GUESS, WHAT DO WE NEED?
JUST A BUILDING AND SOME TEACHERS.
- AND MAYBE A HOT LUNCH PROGRAM.
- HOW HARD CAN THAT BE?
IF ANYBODY CAN DO THIS... - OKAY, THIS IS CRAZY.
THIS IS CRAZY. - YOU CAN DO IT.
- I CAN. WE CAN.
- [laughing] HEY.
THANKS FOR LETTING US DO THIS. - HEY.
- OH, YOU'RE WELCOME.
THE MOLD THING'S NOT CONTAGIOUS, IS IT?
- HEY, JABBAR. - WE MAY HAVE SOME ON OUR SHOES.
WE'LL LEAVE THEM AT THE DOOR,
IF THAT MAKES YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE.
- HI. - IS SHE SLEEPING?
- YEAH. - I PROMISE
WE'LL STAY OUT OF YOUR HAIR.
- NO PROBLEM, I MEAN-- - NO, NO, IT'S--
- IT'S A BIG HOUSE. SOMEONE'S GOTTA FILL IT,
YOU KNOW. - DAD SAID I GET
WHATEVER ROOM I WANT.
- OH, YEAH? - WHAT?
- [stammers] - I DON'T--
WELL, MOM SAID YOU'LL ASK YOUR GRANDPARENTS POLITELY
WHERE THEY'D LIKE US. WE CAN TAKE THE GUESTHOUSE
IF THAT'S EASIER FOR YOU GUYS.
- WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT. THERE ARE FOUR OF US.
ONE OF US IS TEETHING, THOUGH. I WILL MENTION THAT.
- NO, IT'S--BE JUST GREAT TO HAVE KIDS IN THE HOUSE AGAIN.
- YEP. - RIGHT?
- YEAH. - THEN I GET DAD'S OLD ROOM!
- OKAY! - LOOK AT THAT.
- HUH? - HE CLAIMED IT.
- I WOULD'VE TAKEN THE MASTER SUITE, JABBAR.
