1
00:00:06,716 --> 00:00:09,135
Dear Diary, it's other-house day.

2
00:00:10,220 --> 00:00:12,222
It's kind of okay going back and forth.

3
00:00:12,889 --> 00:00:16,893
And it's so nice to be with Dad.
Right there with him.

4
00:00:19,020 --> 00:00:23,817
I'm happy most of the time,
but then the divorce sadness comes.

5
00:00:24,317 --> 00:00:26,695
Like waves on a shore.

6
00:00:27,237 --> 00:00:31,700
The size of the sad comes
in different sizes and at different times.

7
00:00:32,449 --> 00:00:34,661
Mostly when I'm leaving Dad's house

8
00:00:34,744 --> 00:00:37,747
and feeling so happy
he's come home from Paris.

9
00:00:38,415 --> 00:00:42,586
But then realizing, he's never really
ever coming home home.

10
00:00:44,296 --> 00:00:48,216
I still have dreams of me, Mom and Dad

11
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:52,178
living here together in our family house.

12
00:00:53,054 --> 00:00:54,097
[sighs]

13
00:00:54,639 --> 00:00:58,184
I, Amber Brown, wonder,

14
00:00:58,977 --> 00:01:01,187
does wishing, hoping,

15
00:01:01,271 --> 00:01:05,525
and dreaming of being together again
eventually go away?

16
00:01:12,198 --> 00:01:13,909
- [Amber] Ever watch this show, Dad?
- [Phil sighs]

17
00:01:13,992 --> 00:01:15,660
No, what's it about?

18
00:01:15,744 --> 00:01:17,579
It's a show where people get a makeover.

19
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:19,164
Is that right?

20
00:01:19,247 --> 00:01:23,960
Uh-huh. See, this lady, she's 60
but wants to look 40.

21
00:01:24,044 --> 00:01:25,754
Jealous of her 30-year-old daughter,

22
00:01:25,837 --> 00:01:28,632
who just had a makeover
to make her look like she's 20.

23
00:01:28,715 --> 00:01:32,552
- Sounds like one of your math problems.
- Yeah. [clears throat]

24
00:01:32,636 --> 00:01:37,974
A mother, Kathleen, who is 60
but looks 40, has two daughters.

25
00:01:38,058 --> 00:01:40,435
Julie, 30. Sheila, 25.

26
00:01:40,518 --> 00:01:42,103
Who both want to look 20.

27
00:01:42,979 --> 00:01:47,275
How many years' difference does that leave
between the daughters' combined real age

28
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:49,110
and the mother's makeover-look age?

29
00:01:49,194 --> 00:01:51,905
None, because they all need
to learn how to act their age.

30
00:01:51,988 --> 00:01:54,449
- [laughs]
- Or at least their makeover-look age.

31
00:01:54,532 --> 00:01:57,494
Whoa. Bringing it home,
wrapped in a nice little comedy bow.

32
00:01:57,577 --> 00:02:00,580
- Way to go, Ber!
- [giggles]

33
00:02:01,915 --> 00:02:05,544
I just don't understand.
I'm 11 and can't wait to be 12.

34
00:02:05,627 --> 00:02:08,129
So why would I want a makeover
to look like I'm five?

35
00:02:08,212 --> 00:02:10,090
Everybody wants to feel young.

36
00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:12,842
You'll always be just about
five years old to me.

37
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,556
You should grab your book, um,
grab some pen, paper…

38
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,101
- Erasers. Lots of erasers.
- [laughs] Yeah.

39
00:02:21,810 --> 00:02:25,063
Your new tutor will be here any minute.
[sighs]

40
00:02:25,146 --> 00:02:26,147
New?

41
00:02:26,231 --> 00:02:28,733
Yeah, Mr. Chelios got switched
to the northwest side,

42
00:02:28,817 --> 00:02:30,610
so new tutor today.

43
00:02:31,194 --> 00:02:35,448
Should have told you. You just bring
so much sunshine into this little place.

44
00:02:35,532 --> 00:02:36,825
Makes me forget things.

45
00:02:36,908 --> 00:02:38,660
[giggles] Thanks, Dad.

46
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,496
Yeah, we should tidy up a little bit.
[grunts]

47
00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:45,375
Let's just put it all in…
[sighs] …here.

48
00:02:45,458 --> 00:02:46,710
[both laugh]

49
00:02:46,793 --> 00:02:49,754
It's okay, Dad. I love being here.

50
00:02:49,838 --> 00:02:52,382
Just the two of us,
eating pizza and pasta.

51
00:02:52,465 --> 00:02:55,260
And more pasta and more pizza.

52
00:02:55,343 --> 00:02:57,637
- [laughs]
- Sorry about my limited cooking skills,

53
00:02:57,721 --> 00:03:01,766
but I make up for it
in my housekeeping techniques.

54
00:03:01,850 --> 00:03:02,851
Voilà.

55
00:03:02,934 --> 00:03:07,647
[laughs] Yeah. Maybe we should
take a cooking class.

56
00:03:09,065 --> 00:03:11,693
- I think that's a great idea.
- Really?

57
00:03:11,776 --> 00:03:13,570
[Phil] Yes. Sure.

58
00:03:14,571 --> 00:03:16,031
All right. When?

59
00:03:16,615 --> 00:03:18,575
Uh, sometime. Maybe this summer.

60
00:03:18,658 --> 00:03:22,203
Yeah. And maybe we could invite Mom too?

61
00:03:23,079 --> 00:03:25,957
Um, okay. We'll see.

62
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:29,377
[knocking]

63
00:03:29,461 --> 00:03:30,962
- Come in!
- [door opens, closes]

64
00:03:31,046 --> 00:03:33,798
[Cynnie] Hi! [chuckles]
Sorry I'm a little late.

65
00:03:33,882 --> 00:03:36,301
I'm-- [exhales sharply, breathes heavily]

66
00:03:36,384 --> 00:03:38,428
- Cynnie?
- Yes.

67
00:03:39,346 --> 00:03:40,430
Phil?

68
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,724
[Cynnie chuckles]

69
00:03:43,225 --> 00:03:45,477
["All Good" playing]

70
00:04:03,286 --> 00:04:06,665
Okay, last one. Again, a fraction of--

71
00:04:07,249 --> 00:04:11,294
If you have one-half pizza
from tonight left in the fridge,

72
00:04:11,378 --> 00:04:16,632
and at breakfast, you eat one-third of it,
what fraction of the original pizza

73
00:04:16,716 --> 00:04:17,716
do you have left?

74
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,388
None. Because I would have eaten all of it
during the middle of the night.

75
00:04:21,471 --> 00:04:22,806
[laughs]

76
00:04:23,390 --> 00:04:26,434
[chuckling] Clever but not correct.

77
00:04:26,518 --> 00:04:28,478
You can do your work here on the paper.

78
00:04:28,562 --> 00:04:30,313
Can I get you a water, Cynnie?

79
00:04:30,397 --> 00:04:33,108
- Anything to drink?
- Yes. A water. Thanks.

80
00:04:33,191 --> 00:04:35,569
So you guys know each other
from high school?

81
00:04:35,652 --> 00:04:37,946
No, no. Younger.

82
00:04:38,029 --> 00:04:42,158
I met your dad when we both worked
on a play called <i>12 Angry Men…</i>

83
00:04:42,242 --> 00:04:44,953
- Yes.
-…at Park Ridge Middle School.

84
00:04:45,036 --> 00:04:47,163
- [Cynnie] We were in…
- [Phil] Eighth grade.

85
00:04:47,747 --> 00:04:49,916
- [sighs]
- [Amber sighs]

86
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,752
- What?
- [sighs] The odds.

87
00:04:52,836 --> 00:04:54,546
It's really good to see you, Cyn.

88
00:04:55,130 --> 00:04:56,923
Same, really.

89
00:04:58,466 --> 00:05:00,427
- Oh, hey, Amber.
- Hey, Stanley.

90
00:05:01,261 --> 00:05:02,470
- Oh!
- [gasps]

91
00:05:03,847 --> 00:05:05,390
Man, are you okay?

92
00:05:06,808 --> 00:05:08,852
- [Amber] Oh!
- Ooh! [sighs] Uh…

93
00:05:08,935 --> 00:05:10,562
- Oh.
- [chuckles]

94
00:05:11,271 --> 00:05:15,859
Dear Diary, in that moment,
I was desperate. [sighs]

95
00:05:15,942 --> 00:05:20,030
I'm already sharing my mom,
and I'm just getting used to Max.

96
00:05:20,113 --> 00:05:24,117
I-- I can't right now.
Just can't share my dad.

97
00:05:24,951 --> 00:05:29,164
I-- I just got him back. [sighs]

98
00:05:29,247 --> 00:05:33,001
It's the wave. I'm feeling the wave.

99
00:05:33,084 --> 00:05:35,462
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!

100
00:05:35,545 --> 00:05:37,130
It's okay. [chuckles]

101
00:05:37,214 --> 00:05:41,343
Oh, my papers.
Should have laminated after grading them.

102
00:05:41,426 --> 00:05:43,678
- I saved them. Um…
- [Cynnie] Oh.

103
00:05:44,554 --> 00:05:47,557
So do you wanna call
for your ride service now?

104
00:05:47,641 --> 00:05:49,809
- [laughs]
- [stammers] You know, to pick you up?

105
00:05:49,893 --> 00:05:51,061
You can wait outside.

106
00:05:51,144 --> 00:05:52,395
Amber.

107
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:54,856
Uh, it has an auto-request
for a return lift,

108
00:05:54,940 --> 00:05:56,942
knowing that I'd be here for a set time.

109
00:05:57,025 --> 00:05:58,276
So, that's good. [chuckles]

110
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,904
Can you lift up your book, Ber, please?

111
00:06:00,987 --> 00:06:03,281
Oh, I'm so sorry about the water.

112
00:06:03,365 --> 00:06:05,325
No worries. [sighs]

113
00:06:06,159 --> 00:06:08,536
So, one week from today, same time?

114
00:06:08,620 --> 00:06:09,829
- Yes.
- No.

115
00:06:10,914 --> 00:06:13,250
[stammers] I mean, maybe.

116
00:06:13,333 --> 00:06:15,669
We'll see how I do
on my next test. Right, Dad?

117
00:06:15,752 --> 00:06:18,255
Sure. We'll see.

118
00:06:19,047 --> 00:06:22,634
- Can I walk you out?
- [softly] Oh. [chuckles]

119
00:06:22,717 --> 00:06:24,386
Um, nice meeting you, Amber.

120
00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:26,179
Looking forward to working with you.

121
00:06:26,263 --> 00:06:28,723
You'll be confident
in your math skills in no time.

122
00:06:29,307 --> 00:06:31,518
[grunts] The sooner the better.

123
00:06:36,356 --> 00:06:39,651
[door opens, closes]

124
00:06:49,661 --> 00:06:50,787
[both chuckle]

125
00:06:50,870 --> 00:06:52,038
Amber is adorable.

126
00:06:52,122 --> 00:06:54,791
- Yeah, thank you. She is my heart.
- [chuckles]

127
00:06:56,418 --> 00:06:57,711
Do you have full custody?

128
00:06:58,420 --> 00:07:04,092
Uh, no, no. My wife… Sarah and I share.
You remember Sarah?

129
00:07:04,801 --> 00:07:06,636
No, don't recall.

130
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,973
She was in our class that year.
Just moved to the neighborhood.

131
00:07:10,056 --> 00:07:13,935
Braces, wide-eyed,
orange hair, rosy cheeks.

132
00:07:14,019 --> 00:07:15,729
Always wore yellow Doc Martens.

133
00:07:15,812 --> 00:07:17,606
Sweet as can be.

134
00:07:17,689 --> 00:07:20,066
That's how you describe Mom? Come on, Dad.

135
00:07:20,150 --> 00:07:22,319
Like she's Ronald McDonald or something.

136
00:07:23,778 --> 00:07:25,989
That was the year I won
Miss Teenage Illinois,

137
00:07:26,072 --> 00:07:27,782
so… [chuckles] …very busy.

138
00:07:27,866 --> 00:07:29,409
[both chuckle]

139
00:07:29,492 --> 00:07:32,370
My talent segment was doing
a long math problem

140
00:07:32,454 --> 00:07:34,205
on a golden-framed blackboard.

141
00:07:34,289 --> 00:07:38,043
- Wow. Well, look at you. [laughs]
- Oh, yeah. [laughs]

142
00:07:38,126 --> 00:07:40,462
It was unique.

143
00:07:40,545 --> 00:07:42,631
[both laugh]

144
00:07:42,714 --> 00:07:46,218
- Oh. [stammers]
- Um, I guess I'll see you again, um…

145
00:07:46,301 --> 00:07:47,302
Yeah.

146
00:07:48,261 --> 00:07:54,351
You wouldn't mind giving that scrawny kid
from the eighth-grade play your number?

147
00:07:56,019 --> 00:07:57,020
Oh…

148
00:07:58,355 --> 00:08:00,607
No, no, no. Please, say no.

149
00:08:01,733 --> 00:08:03,902
- Yes. [chuckles]
- [chuckles]

150
00:08:03,985 --> 00:08:06,529
[groans, gasps]

151
00:08:08,323 --> 00:08:09,950
[both chuckle]

152
00:08:12,786 --> 00:08:16,206
<i>It's probably just a nice thing
for him to see an old friend.</i>

153
00:08:16,289 --> 00:08:17,666
<i>I wouldn't worry about it.</i> [sighs]

154
00:08:17,749 --> 00:08:21,920
Well, I have a plan to study, study,
study, push my grade up

155
00:08:22,003 --> 00:08:24,464
and then I won't need a tutor anymore.

156
00:08:24,548 --> 00:08:26,633
Isn't that always the plan?

157
00:08:26,716 --> 00:08:30,428
Well, yeah, I guess, but now I'm serious.

158
00:08:30,512 --> 00:08:33,682
I don't want her coming around.
Sharing my dad is at stake.

159
00:08:33,765 --> 00:08:36,393
[Brandi]
<i>Remember when you really didn't like Max?</i>

160
00:08:36,476 --> 00:08:38,227
Yes.

161
00:08:38,311 --> 00:08:42,148
He was away a week on a business trip,
and you said you missed him.

162
00:08:42,231 --> 00:08:44,985
No, I said I could see
why my mom missed him.

163
00:08:45,485 --> 00:08:47,195
- Same.
- Not.

164
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:48,905
Wish I could help you.

165
00:08:48,989 --> 00:08:51,616
I love math,
but I'm not good at explaining it.

166
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:56,663
Now, social studies or science,
I'm great at teaching. I'm a mini expert.

167
00:08:56,746 --> 00:08:59,040
I don't mean mini
when it comes to information.

168
00:08:59,124 --> 00:09:01,501
I mean mini in size, due to my youth.

169
00:09:01,585 --> 00:09:05,505
I love math too. If I could marry it,
I would. [chuckles]

170
00:09:05,589 --> 00:09:08,633
Your marriage would have
a lot of problems.

171
00:09:08,717 --> 00:09:09,926
[both laughing]

172
00:09:10,010 --> 00:09:12,596
Yeah, you could count
on it not working out.

173
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,515
But it could add up
to something wonderful.

174
00:09:15,599 --> 00:09:17,684
And nothing could divide us.

175
00:09:17,767 --> 00:09:20,562
- [laughs] Wah-wah.
- [chuckles] Wah-wah.

176
00:09:21,396 --> 00:09:23,815
We've reached our quota of one pun each,

177
00:09:23,899 --> 00:09:25,483
and we allowed a bonus pun.

178
00:09:25,984 --> 00:09:29,279
Now, back to our regularly
scheduled crisis.

179
00:09:29,362 --> 00:09:32,157
[sighs] Brandi, will you really help me

180
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,994
with my math study and homework so I can
prove I don't need a tutor anymore?

181
00:09:36,077 --> 00:09:40,206
Yes. Of course. That's how friends
did homework in the old days.

182
00:09:40,290 --> 00:09:41,708
There were no tutors.

183
00:09:41,791 --> 00:09:43,084
When's your next math test?

184
00:09:43,168 --> 00:09:44,169
Next week.

185
00:09:44,252 --> 00:09:45,587
[sighs] So soon.

186
00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:46,671
You'll be ready.

187
00:09:46,755 --> 00:09:48,548
What a plus!

188
00:09:48,632 --> 00:09:50,967
[all] Wah-wah.

189
00:09:53,178 --> 00:09:54,429
This one's my fave,

190
00:09:54,512 --> 00:09:56,431
- so had it framed for ya.
- Ah.

191
00:09:56,514 --> 00:09:58,725
Can't see the earrings in this one.

192
00:09:58,808 --> 00:10:00,685
Pam, I love it.

193
00:10:00,769 --> 00:10:02,896
Sweetie, want something to eat?
How was school?

194
00:10:02,979 --> 00:10:04,606
Food, no. School, good.

195
00:10:04,689 --> 00:10:06,650
Hmm. It's like living
with a small caveman.

196
00:10:06,733 --> 00:10:09,402
- Right?
- Brandi's coming over to do homework.

197
00:10:09,486 --> 00:10:11,738
That's the third time this week.
I am impressed.

198
00:10:13,365 --> 00:10:15,116
Hey, Mrs. Brown. Hi, Aunt Pam.

199
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,410
- What's up?
- You can just do your homework

200
00:10:17,494 --> 00:10:21,039
here at the table or at the island.
Put your backpack on any chair.

201
00:10:21,122 --> 00:10:22,707
- Thank you.
- [Sarah grunts]

202
00:10:22,791 --> 00:10:24,167
Can I have something to eat?

203
00:10:24,251 --> 00:10:25,460
Yeah, course. Um…

204
00:10:25,544 --> 00:10:27,546
I brought blueberry scones. You want one?

205
00:10:27,629 --> 00:10:29,172
- Yes, please.
- You got it.

206
00:10:29,256 --> 00:10:31,508
Gotta have energy for homework
and dance breaks.

207
00:10:31,591 --> 00:10:34,344
Maybe a few less dance breaks,
we'd need a few less tutors.

208
00:10:34,427 --> 00:10:36,721
- What tutor? What subject?
- [Sarah] Math.

209
00:10:36,805 --> 00:10:39,182
Amber just needs
a little extra assistance.

210
00:10:39,266 --> 00:10:41,184
- Math is useless.
- It is?

211
00:10:41,268 --> 00:10:43,603
- Yes.
- No. Pam, really?

212
00:10:43,687 --> 00:10:46,523
Well, I don't use it.
I haven't since grade school.

213
00:10:46,606 --> 00:10:49,067
Math must be worth something
if you got a tutor for Amber.

214
00:10:49,150 --> 00:10:51,194
Yeah. That's true, I guess.

215
00:10:51,861 --> 00:10:53,863
I think it's a waste of money.

216
00:10:53,947 --> 00:10:55,615
- Dad's money.
- [Sarah] Hmm.

217
00:10:55,699 --> 00:10:57,492
Can I have some milk?

218
00:10:57,576 --> 00:10:58,577
Heck yeah.

219
00:10:59,578 --> 00:11:03,540
It's different now. New tutor's not a he,
it's a she. Cynnie?

220
00:11:04,457 --> 00:11:07,669
It's so annoying.
Dad's way too happy when she's around.

221
00:11:09,462 --> 00:11:12,132
Mr. Brown went to school with her
like a hundred years ago.

222
00:11:12,215 --> 00:11:14,259
All the way back in eighth grade.

223
00:11:14,342 --> 00:11:16,052
Wait. Cynnie? Cynnie Troop?

224
00:11:16,136 --> 00:11:18,763
Amber said she was, like,
a princess or something?

225
00:11:18,847 --> 00:11:20,390
[Amber] Yeah. Cynnie. That's her.

226
00:11:20,473 --> 00:11:22,350
I just don't think I need a tutor, Mom.

227
00:11:22,434 --> 00:11:24,185
I gotta look her up.

228
00:11:24,269 --> 00:11:26,771
Not very many princesses
who become math tutors.

229
00:11:27,397 --> 00:11:30,358
Oh, Cynnie. She was Miss Teenage Illinois.

230
00:11:30,442 --> 00:11:33,695
That's it. Not princess, but pageant.

231
00:11:33,778 --> 00:11:35,989
I was confused. They both get crowns.

232
00:11:36,072 --> 00:11:37,866
Phil had the biggest crush on her.

233
00:11:37,949 --> 00:11:39,075
Had?

234
00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:42,537
Oh, wow. She's gorgeous.

235
00:11:43,788 --> 00:11:44,789
Good for Phil.

236
00:11:45,790 --> 00:11:47,125
Sounded so sincere.

237
00:11:47,667 --> 00:11:52,047
Oh. [pants] Whoa. Hello. Who is that?

238
00:11:52,130 --> 00:11:53,548
- Would you stop?
- Really?

239
00:11:53,632 --> 00:11:57,969
Nope. Sorry. That was a knee-jerk
reaction. Or just jerk.

240
00:11:58,053 --> 00:11:58,929
[chuckles]

241
00:11:59,512 --> 00:12:00,764
- [Aunt Pam] Hmm.
- [chuckles]

242
00:12:00,847 --> 00:12:03,266
Hey, can I-- can I still use your kitchen?

243
00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:06,645
I have to shoot a quick ID clip
for the Health Food Network.

244
00:12:06,728 --> 00:12:07,729
Yeah, course.

245
00:12:07,812 --> 00:12:09,564
- Thanks.
- Are you being considered?

246
00:12:09,648 --> 00:12:11,024
Sound so shocked.

247
00:12:11,107 --> 00:12:13,193
It's okay. I know I'm a long shot.

248
00:12:13,276 --> 00:12:16,863
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it to sound
like that. But, like, really?

249
00:12:16,947 --> 00:12:18,281
Pam. You-- [sighs]

250
00:12:18,365 --> 00:12:19,366
Yeah, really.

251
00:12:19,449 --> 00:12:21,576
[gasps] Wo-- That's cool.

252
00:12:21,660 --> 00:12:22,786
Very cool.

253
00:12:22,869 --> 00:12:24,287
- Thank you.
- [Amber chuckles]

254
00:12:24,371 --> 00:12:26,414
Now on to more important things.

255
00:12:27,332 --> 00:12:28,917
- Who is that?
- Would you stop?

256
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,585
- No.
- This is private.

257
00:12:30,669 --> 00:12:32,087
Princess pageant lady.

258
00:12:32,921 --> 00:12:34,297
Interesting.

259
00:12:34,381 --> 00:12:35,924
["Mama Said" playing]

260
00:13:03,243 --> 00:13:04,244
You're almost done.

261
00:13:04,869 --> 00:13:08,415
Don't hesitate to ask me any questions.
That's the beauty of a mock test.

262
00:13:08,498 --> 00:13:10,250
No, I'm good.

263
00:13:10,333 --> 00:13:11,334
Mmm.

264
00:13:12,168 --> 00:13:14,379
Did you do that one wall that muted color?

265
00:13:14,462 --> 00:13:15,630
I did.

266
00:13:15,714 --> 00:13:16,923
I love it.

267
00:13:17,007 --> 00:13:20,468
Yeah, thanks. Um, it's been an adjustment.

268
00:13:23,930 --> 00:13:27,017
[creaking]

269
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:28,393
[glass shattering]

270
00:13:29,144 --> 00:13:31,062
Do you ever hear from Mr. Higgleman?

271
00:13:31,146 --> 00:13:33,481
- What a great guy.
- [Cynnie] The best.

272
00:13:33,565 --> 00:13:35,692
- [stammering] We should, uh…
- Dad?

273
00:13:36,401 --> 00:13:37,694
Yes?

274
00:13:39,154 --> 00:13:42,574
Um, will you be driving me
back to Mom's or…

275
00:13:42,657 --> 00:13:44,701
Your mom's gonna pick you up at 8:30.

276
00:13:44,784 --> 00:13:46,119
We'll be done in ten.

277
00:13:46,202 --> 00:13:49,456
I'm sure you're exhausted, Amber.
But you're doing great work.

278
00:13:50,332 --> 00:13:52,500
Let's just see how I do
on the test tomorrow.

279
00:13:53,668 --> 00:13:54,669
[chuckles]

280
00:13:54,753 --> 00:13:57,839
Well, my friends loved
meeting you the other night.

281
00:13:57,923 --> 00:14:01,509
[Phil] Yeah. Thanks for the invite.
It was nice to take a break from work.

282
00:14:01,593 --> 00:14:06,306
[Cynnie] They got a kick out of your "menu
of a single dad" pizza and pasta stories.

283
00:14:07,057 --> 00:14:09,226
If you ever want to take a cooking class…

284
00:14:09,309 --> 00:14:13,480
Yeah, thank you. Um, Amber
and I have plans to do one, so, uh…

285
00:14:13,563 --> 00:14:15,774
Can always do two.

286
00:14:15,857 --> 00:14:17,359
[exhales sharply]

287
00:14:20,362 --> 00:14:23,406
[engines running]

288
00:14:29,996 --> 00:14:31,790
- Hi.
- [chuckles]

289
00:14:32,290 --> 00:14:33,708
[laughs]

290
00:14:33,792 --> 00:14:34,793
[chuckles]

291
00:14:37,128 --> 00:14:39,798
[no audible dialogue]

292
00:14:41,174 --> 00:14:42,968
Just don't look. [chuckles]

293
00:14:52,227 --> 00:14:55,355
Dad's gonna go out with her.
Like, date her.

294
00:14:56,898 --> 00:14:58,692
Oh, I don't know.

295
00:14:58,775 --> 00:15:02,696
[sighs] If he does, and they're a couple,

296
00:15:03,446 --> 00:15:05,865
will he love her as much as he loved you?

297
00:15:09,703 --> 00:15:10,870
Loved? [stammers]

298
00:15:11,496 --> 00:15:12,497
Yeah.

299
00:15:17,419 --> 00:15:20,005
I think your daddy
and I still love each other.

300
00:15:21,214 --> 00:15:22,799
[exhales sharply] You do?

301
00:15:23,842 --> 00:15:27,012
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
I mean, I-- I believe so.

302
00:15:27,095 --> 00:15:31,683
You know, it's-- it's still love.
It's just changed its shape. [chuckles]

303
00:15:33,393 --> 00:15:34,394
[sighs]

304
00:15:37,147 --> 00:15:38,189
[sighs]

305
00:15:41,318 --> 00:15:45,447
If he starts to love her,
will he love me less?

306
00:15:45,530 --> 00:15:48,742
[sighs] No, honey. No.

307
00:15:49,284 --> 00:15:50,994
Listen to me.

308
00:15:51,077 --> 00:15:56,917
Your daddy will never, ever love anyone
the same or as much as he loves you.

309
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,003
Just not gonna happen. Okay?

310
00:16:00,086 --> 00:16:04,799
[sniffs, sobs] Mom, I'm sad. Very sad.

311
00:16:04,883 --> 00:16:06,760
[sighs, breathes shakily]

312
00:16:07,886 --> 00:16:09,179
[smacks lips] Yeah.

313
00:16:09,262 --> 00:16:10,889
[sniffles, sighs]

314
00:16:12,390 --> 00:16:15,644
- [crying]
- It is sad, 'cause our family is different

315
00:16:15,727 --> 00:16:20,440
and… [inhales sharply]
…and I'm so sorry for that.

316
00:16:22,734 --> 00:16:24,861
- [crying continues]
- I'm sad too.

317
00:16:26,780 --> 00:16:28,573
Dad's sad too.

318
00:16:31,159 --> 00:16:32,160
I know.

319
00:16:34,746 --> 00:16:36,456
[sighs]

320
00:16:38,792 --> 00:16:40,252
[inhales sharply]

321
00:16:40,335 --> 00:16:43,171
It's just-- It's gonna take some time.

322
00:16:47,133 --> 00:16:52,597
You know, baby, sometimes in life,
we are sad. [chuckles]

323
00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:56,643
But we just gotta remember that,

324
00:16:56,726 --> 00:17:00,981
you know, just like how happy times
won't last forever,

325
00:17:01,064 --> 00:17:02,983
neither will sad times.

326
00:17:05,776 --> 00:17:06,820
[sighs]

327
00:17:06,902 --> 00:17:08,405
Comes in waves.

328
00:17:09,238 --> 00:17:13,410
Yeah. Yeah, honey. It comes in waves.

329
00:17:13,493 --> 00:17:15,078
[sniffs, sighs]

330
00:17:17,539 --> 00:17:18,998
[sighs, inhales deeply]

331
00:17:19,082 --> 00:17:20,041
[door closes]

332
00:17:20,125 --> 00:17:21,751
I got news.

333
00:17:22,419 --> 00:17:23,587
Okay. [sighs]

334
00:17:23,670 --> 00:17:28,049
Hi. Wait. Wait, are you two okay?

335
00:17:28,132 --> 00:17:29,718
How'd the math test go?

336
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:31,011
It's tomorrow.

337
00:17:31,094 --> 00:17:32,512
Okay. That's important.

338
00:17:32,596 --> 00:17:35,682
I know you're gonna crush it,
and then we'll celebrate.

339
00:17:35,765 --> 00:17:37,225
We'll be celebrating two things.

340
00:17:37,309 --> 00:17:40,437
You getting a great math score and…

341
00:17:41,897 --> 00:17:45,609
[sighs] …this.

342
00:17:46,484 --> 00:17:49,446
We made top 20
for Next Health Food Network Star!

343
00:17:49,529 --> 00:17:50,614
- [chuckles]
- [shouting] What?

344
00:17:50,697 --> 00:17:51,781
- Yeah.
- Max!

345
00:17:51,865 --> 00:17:53,283
[chuckles]

346
00:17:53,366 --> 00:17:55,660
I feel like we have a good shot at this.

347
00:17:55,744 --> 00:17:59,372
That's very nice for you to say "we."
But this is you, Max. This is all you.

348
00:17:59,456 --> 00:18:02,208
No, it's us. It's for us.

349
00:18:02,292 --> 00:18:03,501
It's pretty cool.

350
00:18:04,044 --> 00:18:05,629
Like a movie in our house.

351
00:18:05,712 --> 00:18:07,422
- Mm-hmm.
- Wait till I tell Brandi.

352
00:18:07,505 --> 00:18:09,174
Tell her you both can be in it.

353
00:18:09,257 --> 00:18:12,844
What? Oh, you don't understand.
This is Brandi's dream.

354
00:18:14,054 --> 00:18:15,680
- I wanna do it too.
- [Max gasps]

355
00:18:15,764 --> 00:18:18,683
Ooh, look at you. Okay.

356
00:18:18,767 --> 00:18:20,060
[Amber, Max chuckle]

357
00:18:20,977 --> 00:18:23,730
Dear Diary, in the "can't believe it"
department,

358
00:18:23,813 --> 00:18:27,692
I, Amber Brown, have been
seriously studying math.

359
00:18:27,776 --> 00:18:29,611
And, on top of that,

360
00:18:29,694 --> 00:18:34,032
I just said out loud that I, Amber Brown,

361
00:18:34,115 --> 00:18:36,576
want to be in Max's audition pilot video.

362
00:18:36,660 --> 00:18:37,994
What?

363
00:18:38,078 --> 00:18:42,916
So, Angry Tree Number 3
would be perfect for, um,

364
00:18:42,999 --> 00:18:45,669
"montage of testimonials
from different demographics"?

365
00:18:45,752 --> 00:18:47,754
Okay. Can I go tell Brandi?

366
00:18:47,837 --> 00:18:49,839
- Absolutely!
- Yes! [chuckling]

367
00:18:50,757 --> 00:18:52,133
Brandi!

368
00:18:52,926 --> 00:18:54,970
- [sighs]
- [door closes]

369
00:18:55,554 --> 00:19:02,102
Oh, that right there, that happy,
running, excited Amber is just so… [sighs]

370
00:19:02,185 --> 00:19:05,188
- It's beautiful to see, isn't it?
- Mmm. [sighs] Yeah.

371
00:19:05,272 --> 00:19:08,942
Especially if you had just heard her
a minute ago in my car. Just…

372
00:19:09,025 --> 00:19:10,527
Ugh, my heart.

373
00:19:10,610 --> 00:19:12,028
- [inhales sharply]
- Hmm?

374
00:19:12,112 --> 00:19:15,532
- Max. Max, thank you.
- Oh.

375
00:19:15,615 --> 00:19:18,994
- Thank you. [groans, chuckles]
- [chuckling]

376
00:19:19,077 --> 00:19:21,121
- Of course.
- Mmm.

377
00:19:21,204 --> 00:19:25,834
So… [clears throat]
…since you adore me right now…

378
00:19:25,917 --> 00:19:27,252
- Mmm?
- Um…

379
00:19:27,335 --> 00:19:30,297
I submitted the original video
from your kitchen.

380
00:19:30,380 --> 00:19:33,633
- Uh-huh.
- Can I tell them it's available next week?

381
00:19:34,301 --> 00:19:36,052
- Next week?
- Yeah.

382
00:19:36,136 --> 00:19:39,264
Uh, can I get it gutted
and completely updated by then?

383
00:19:40,140 --> 00:19:41,224
- No.
- No?

384
00:19:41,308 --> 00:19:45,061
But I can get you a bowl of lemons
and some flowers, and we'll just…

385
00:19:45,145 --> 00:19:47,230
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That'll do it.

386
00:19:47,314 --> 00:19:49,149
- [laughing]
- S-- [laughs]

387
00:19:49,232 --> 00:19:52,068
- I-- Oh.
- [sighs]

388
00:19:52,152 --> 00:19:53,695
- Hey. Hey.
- [exhales deeply]

389
00:19:54,279 --> 00:19:56,364
Hollywood is coming
to Park Ridge, Illinois…

390
00:19:56,448 --> 00:19:59,075
- Right.
-…to produce your pilot presentation.

391
00:19:59,159 --> 00:20:01,036
- I am-- I am terrified.
- [chuckles]

392
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,747
- I don't know where to even start.
- It's gonna-- Okay.

393
00:20:03,830 --> 00:20:06,750
