00:00:00Saving her here remember how we used to just jump on my motorcycle and then we
00:00:06would just ride. We had Allie. She was the best thing that ever happened to us oh I
00:00:16couldn't agree more
00:00:20but maybe it's time for us to start having our own adventures again maybe
00:00:26now that she doesn't need us anymore. I liked things how they were.
00:00:39Let's just stay here a little bit longer she might calm.
00:00:44Well if you need anything call us okay. I'm proud of you son. We're gonna miss you so much honey.
00:00:57Hey all right well I'll see you guys at Thanksgiving. Love you. Love you.
00:01:06Okay well I will see you Thursday buddy. You feeling Barzettis or Regent's High?
00:01:11Barzettis for sure. Barzettis it is. See you then. Bye Amy. Bye Ben.
00:01:24Hey not the pansies. Okay you must have an owner. Dogs. He was cute though. Honey did you
00:01:37see the dog? I sure did. It was so cute. Sure was. Two dowels for each corner of the table.
00:01:48Hey my flight leaves in a couple hours. I hope your presentation goes well. I was
00:01:55hoping that we could finish our conversation before I leave. You know the
00:02:00one about our future? It's been such a big day can we just talk about it when
00:02:05you get back? Yeah okay.
00:02:18I'm going to a barbecue at Kappa house you coming? Oh I can't I gotta finish my
00:02:24first organic chemistry lab by Monday. Please I don't want to go alone. Fine
00:02:28stay home instead of making friends whatever. I know Mr. Chetty. I miss her
00:02:37too. Let's text her. What do you think?
00:02:46Okay I'll go. Okay. Who's that? Oh it's my mom.
00:02:57Well okay. I can't believe the girls are in college. Zoe hasn't called me once
00:03:09since she left. Allie either and when she does respond to my text messages it's
00:03:12with emojis I don't understand. Why don't you two join me next Saturday for
00:03:17singing bowl meditation yoga. It's great for relieving sadness vibrations. I'm in
00:03:21if we can get mimosas afterwards. Paul's flight landed he should be here by now.
00:03:27You guys start eating I'll give him a call. Are you still mad because I let
00:03:33him stay up late last week?
00:03:36Okay yeah sure I'll see you in 20 minutes. Yep. I get knocked out but I get
00:03:46up again. You're never gonna keep me down. I get knocked down but I get up again.
00:03:50You're never gonna keep me down. Ah tub thumping is my power anthem and I hold no
00:03:57shame in it. There is no shame in loving a classic. That one got me through a lot of
00:04:01angst when I was 17. Funny how the songs we listen to in high school stick with
00:04:04us right? Speaking of are you a Carlton high dad? I'm Helen. I'm Allie Steven's
00:04:09mom. Ben Tolman. I think we met at a parent-teacher conference at AU. Yeah my son Skyler
00:04:16went to high school with Allie. I knew I recognized you you're in med school. Vet
00:04:20school fourth year. And you are an artist right? Technical illustrator
00:04:24furniture manuals mostly. Oh so you're the reason those instructions are so
00:04:28easy to follow. That's me. I should probably grab my order I actually have
00:04:36to pick up my other little kiddo from his mom's but it's good to see you. Good
00:04:40to see you. Come on. Oh Chip what a move. What a legend.
00:04:46Hey where are you? Are you okay? You're home so you're not coming? Everyone's
00:04:55waiting for you.
00:04:59I'll see you when I get home. So how's it feel to be the last man standing now
00:05:05that Skyler's off to college? I mean some extra attention is nice but not too much.
00:05:11Oh yeah no.
00:05:16Hmm. Hey dad. Mm-hmm. Are you okay? Because I heard mom tell Mark that you'd be
00:05:24happier if you met somebody. I'm a happy kiddo. Then why did mom say that? Look
00:05:31between you, vet school, and these two lazy little monsters I got lots to focus
00:05:36on. Don't you worry about me okay? Okay. Here. At least pretend to eat a
00:05:45vegetable. You first. Our little secret.
00:05:56Hey are you leaving again? I thought you were here till next week. I got offered
00:06:01a promotion. VP of client development. Congratulations honey. It's in our new
00:06:07Mountain West office. In Denver. In Denver? Well what about our life here?
00:06:17I think I should go on my own. Long distance? I was kind of hoping you would
00:06:23start traveling less. Yeah I wasn't thinking long distance. I've been telling
00:06:28myself that this feeling will pass. But this Denver job made me realize. Realize
00:06:33what? We've grown apart. Honey if you really want to go to Denver, we are gonna
00:06:41make something work. It's not just about Denver. Helen I think we should separate.
00:06:53It's just it's just not working anymore. I don't want to hurt you I just want to
00:06:59do what's best for us both. Okay no no no. I think this is this is not how you
00:07:05really feel. You're having a midlife crisis.
00:07:13I'm gonna sleep at the office. Give us some space.
00:07:19I leave for Denver in a month. Our 20th anniversary is in two weeks. We are not
00:07:24splitting up.
00:07:28Bye Helen.
00:07:37We are not splitting up. We are not splitting up. We are not splitting up.
00:07:44Splitting up? What are you doing here? Well I know how worked up you were about
00:07:49Allie leaving so I roasted a chicken. I wanted you to have a balanced meal. What
00:07:54is going on with you and Paul? You look like something terrible has happened. We
00:07:57had an argument and he's sleeping in his office. What are you arguing about? He
00:08:02thinks we've grown apart and he's moving to Denver. Not without you he's not. I'm
00:08:06taking a shower. You need a plan. How are you gonna change his mind? I'm gonna let
00:08:10him come to his senses and realize he should be begging me for forgiveness.
00:08:13Marriage isn't about keeping score darling. If something is broken you need
00:08:19to try and fix it. How many times have I told you what my mother used to say? The
00:08:25more you tend it the more love grows. A marriage withers without attention. Your
00:08:30father and I used to work on our marriage every single day. I am sorry
00:08:33that my marriage isn't perfect like yours and dad's. It's not my choice to
00:08:37split up. I just wish you could support me for once. I know. Invite him over for
00:08:45dinner. Comfort food. Oh and be ready to really listen. And wear your blue
00:08:51dress. It really makes your eyes pop.
00:08:55You again. Who do you belong to? Okay, okay, okay. Are you hungry? Thirsty? I don't have
00:09:17any dog food but I could get you some water.
00:09:21Here you go. You look well-fed. There must be someone missing you right now. Why
00:09:30don't you just go home and leave my flowers on the home. Bye. Have a good day.
00:09:47Wow you look nice. Thank you. Now sit down and we are gonna figure this out. I
00:09:57am ready to really listen. Thank you but I really just came to give you this. An
00:10:05apology? These look official. I thought it would make things easier to finalize
00:10:19the separation. Give us a chance for a fresh start. A fresh start? Is that what
00:10:26you call breaking up our marriage? No, no. I'm sorry I'm not explaining myself very
00:10:32well. I think you've explained plenty.
00:10:42Just don't say anything to Allie about this. She shouldn't have to deal with it
00:10:47when she's settling into college. You're right. We can tell her after we work out
00:10:51the separation. Helen, I hope that we can get through this as friends. Well here's
00:11:04a friendly doggy bag. Now please leave.
00:11:15Hey I didn't change your oil. You want to come by this weekend? Just please get out of
00:11:19here.
00:11:39Oh come on.
00:12:20You
00:12:30Paul what more could you possibly have to say? You again. Can I um can I just look
00:12:42at your collar? Huh you don't have one. Okay um here's the deal. You can stay
00:12:52tonight but no chewing, jumping, or scratching the furniture. Just no dog
00:12:57behavior. Got it? All right. No scratching.
00:13:12So um do you eat chicken? You can have this if you want. It's boneless. Okay good.
00:13:20You eat chicken. All right um I'm just gonna make a quick phone call.
00:13:26There it is.
00:13:32Just be a minute.
00:13:35Hello? Hi um this is Helen Stevens. We ran into each other yesterday at
00:13:41Barzetti's. I just I found your number in the Carlton High Directory. Helen hey um I was
00:13:46actually just about to head to bed. What's going on? Oh gosh what time is it? Oh my goodness it is
00:13:52late. No it's okay. I mean something wrong? No well uh there's just there's a dog in my house
00:14:00um that won't leave and I thought since you were a vet you might be able to tell me uh what to do.
00:14:06How did the dog get in your house? Oh well I let him in and then I just fed him because he looked
00:14:10hungry and I had the worst night of my life and I couldn't stand to see any more suffering in the
00:14:13world. But now he's here so now what? Sounds like you're going through a lot.
00:14:20I'm sorry I didn't mean to unload on you. No no it's okay. I uh had a patient today literally
00:14:25try and claw my eyes out. Maybe she's a cat. Look why don't you bring the dog by the clinic tomorrow
00:14:32see if they have an ID chip. I'll send you the address. Thank you. I come from a long line of
00:14:38absolute non-dog people so I have no idea what to do with a four-legged runaway. Happy to help.
00:14:44I'll see you tomorrow. See you tomorrow. Dog where'd you go? I said no scratching.
00:14:51And he came in with this tray of oh um no I'm okay thank you so much I'm full.
00:14:56Oh I should go to sleep. I've got a class at 8am. Can't you get notes from someone? We need to
00:15:01discuss homecoming and getting invites to the right parties. I'm gonna be studying. I've already
00:15:05got a midterm that week. Okay I know your thing is being smart but you're in college now. Why not
00:15:11try being cool? Maybe we could go to the game and I could study afterwards? Yes you can. You are a
00:15:21terrible influence.
00:15:40She doesn't realize that one day she's gonna wake up a 43 year old woman whose husband leaves her
00:15:46for being too boring. Hey am I boring?
00:16:02Good morning.
00:16:03Hi honey. Hi mom. Have you seen my light wash jeans? Uh no but I will look for them. Are you okay? You're
00:16:18blotchy. Blotchy? Look. No wait you got a dog? Well he's a stray but I let him stay the night
00:16:26because it was so cold outside. Gee mom what's next are we climbing Mount Everest over spring break?
00:16:31No no no I'm gonna keep both of my feet on the ground. He's so cute. What's his name? Well he
00:16:38doesn't have a tag but I guess I could call him Elmer because he wants to stick to me like glue.
00:16:45I gotta go to class. So awesome you got a dog. Love you.
00:16:48Sorry. Sorry. Rather than rehashing the reading we'll be diving into an advanced
00:17:08discussion of resonance structures. Hope you're all caught up. Next slide please. This will be
00:17:21on the exam. It will not make sense if you haven't done the reading but I'm sure you all have.
00:17:27Ready? Page three.
00:17:31Hi mom. Oh oh you got Paul a dog. What a wonderful idea. Hello handsome. Hello yes yes. Wait what
00:17:42is going on? Mom you hate dogs. Well actually I suppose I can tell you now it was your father
00:17:49who really didn't like dogs. I was just maintaining a united front. Well the dog is a stray who won't
00:17:54leave unlike Paul who filed for a separation and wants to wrap things up before he goes to
00:17:59Denver. Did you? I did. I followed your retrograde advice. It did not work. I can't fix my marriage
00:18:04to Paul because I don't know why he broke it. May I speak now? Sure. I was going to suggest
00:18:13asking your friends if Paul has said anything. That is actually a really good idea. I know.
00:18:22All right class. Once you have completed your stretches I would like you all to move those
00:18:28beautiful bodies and meet me in a downward dog position. Helen are you okay? So Paul told James
00:18:37and Greg just that you're separating and he's moving to Denver. We should have called you. We
00:18:42just didn't know what to say. Do you need anything? Intel where is this coming from? I need James and
00:18:49Greg to find out everything they can and they can tell Paul the truth that he has gone crazy and
00:18:52he's making a huge mistake. We were thinking more like moral support. We shouldn't get in the middle.
00:18:57We've been friends since the girl's first day of kindergarten. It's just we love you both. Then help
00:19:03me save my marriage. This is not social time with friends. I don't have any friends here.
00:19:10All right everyone. Let's cleanse away that negative energy. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out.
00:19:28Breathe in. We are going to find your owner.
00:19:47There you go.
00:19:51Okay buddy back seat.
00:19:58So he doesn't have an ID chip to help us find his owner but
00:20:13he has definitely been well taken care of haven't you Paul? So what do we do now?
00:20:20I mean I would take him but I already have two dogs at home and I don't really have the space for a third.
00:20:28Oh oh no no. I'm not in a good place to have a dog because I've never had one and
00:20:36sorry I'm going through a separation right now. It's brand new. I get it.
00:20:43I can tell you it gets easier.
00:20:47Tell you what. Leave Elmer with me. I will call around to a few shelters. Thank you very much
00:20:51and we'll see what we can do. Thank you. I truly appreciate it. Hey buddy. Good luck out there.
00:21:22Thanks. Okay I will take him temporarily while we look for your owner. Really? That is that's
00:21:39incredible of you. I cannot leave you to take your chances in a shelter. Can I buddy? No I cannot. But
00:21:46here's the thing. I don't know the first thing about having a dog. I don't know what kind of
00:21:49dog food we need. Do we need a dog house? Do we need dog toys? Do you want me to go to the pet store?
00:21:54Yes I do. I will take all the help I can get. I um have a couple hours now. Do you want to go?
00:22:03All right. Let's get you set up buddy. We're gonna go get you some squeaky toys. Okay let's go.
00:22:09Okay for you Elmer. And let's see you're gonna want a leash. What about red Elmer? You like red?
00:22:25Is this your color? Oh red suits him. He's a jaunty fellow. And chew on these okay and not our furniture.
00:22:33You know what I'm uh I'm gonna send you to address of my favorite dog park. The more exercise he gets
00:22:38the less inclined he'll be to destroy your house. And we will spend a lot of time there with these.
00:22:43You want to play fetch? You are gonna want this as well. Oh yes and you too. Fetch elbow is a real thing.
00:22:53Um and oh what about this? I love it and maybe some coveralls for when he excavates my flower beds.
00:23:02Thank you and thank you so much again for your help and advice. Oh you deserve the thanks.
00:23:12Taking on a senior dog most people wouldn't. I believe in sticking by people and not dogs I guess.
00:23:20Yeah me too. You two are gonna do great. The whole neighborhood is gonna want to take you home with a
00:23:26face like this Elmer. A few posts online, some posters around town. We will find your home in no time.
00:23:39Hey how's it going? Describe his disposition. He is a hamster.
00:23:45That's pretty calm to me. You know I'm gonna be really glad when this rotation's over.
00:23:50Oh well hello. Who's Helen? Oh she's just a mom from Skyler's school. I helped her with stray dog today.
00:24:02Right. No no no no nothing like that. We're just just friends that's it.
00:24:10Just friends all right. So when's the last time you went on a date anyways?
00:24:14That long huh? Look my priorities are being a dad and starting in vet practice. That's it.
00:24:23Whatever you say buddy. I'd rather spend my time with a pretty lady than Mr. Fluffnutter over here.
00:24:36Hey off the furniture. Okay maybe just for a little bit. You like television?
00:24:44You wanna watch a show?
00:24:54Go get it. Good boy. Let's find your home.
00:25:04Elmer that's to drink. Oh wow. Oh oh Elmer no. Let's go play. Come on.
00:25:14Good boy. Here we are. We're at a park. Dogs are pack animals. You need to be the leader.
00:25:21Elmer sit. Sit. Sit. Uh yelling doesn't work either. Uh you gotta lead by showing confidence.
00:25:29Okay watch this. Like this. Watch. Okay Joey Ramone. There you go. Good boy. Good boy. Sit.
00:25:36Good. Down.
00:25:39Roll. Good boy. Wow. Dance. Let's let's dance. Yeah you got it. That's so cute. Good boy. Now you tried. Okay um okay Elmer sit. Sit.
00:25:58See you got it. Good job. Wow. Yeah. I know we just met but um could I take you to coffee and pick your brain?
00:26:08For dog advice? I'm Helen. Oh dog newbie. Oh dog newbie are you? Okay uh well I'm Cindy by the way.
00:26:13Um yeah I'd love to give you some dog tips. I know a great place. All right. Let's do this. Elmer we're gonna
00:26:18go get some coffee. Yeah. Do you drink coffee? I don't think uh I don't think that's gonna be. No I don't think a dog can have a coffee but.
00:26:25Praise the behavior you want more of. So if you call Elmer he comes right back.
00:26:29Lay it on thick. So it's just like with kids. Never had any. But dog nature and human nature
00:26:34is not that different. Can I use the same technique to get a husband who walked out to
00:26:40come back when I call him? Well if he walked out on you you're better off without him. I don't want
00:26:46to get divorced. You know what? I thought my life was over when my husband ran off with our landlady.
00:26:54But it turns out divorce was the best thing that ever happened to me. Because he was a cheater?
00:26:59No because I found music again. I needed an outlet and a friend of mine has a son who's in a punk band
00:27:07and so he invited me to come on down and scream into the microphone.
00:27:11And then writing songs became my passion and I have been singing with Cindy
00:27:15and the Rogues ever since. That is so different. Yeah I know.
00:27:21My ex burned my life down and um I rose from the ashes rocking. So how are you going to take your power back?
00:27:34I could get new throw pillows. Paul always hated them so I never had them on our couch.
00:27:41That's a start. Yeah it's a good one. Yeah pillows. But you know I'm just gonna write down a number of
00:27:48really cool lady. We've become really good friends actually and uh well she helped me through a really
00:27:53really awful time. You need to call the lawyer.
00:27:59I'm not ready for that. Ready or not you can either stand up for yourself or get run over. So
00:28:07Wow you are so talented. Thank you. It's gorgeous. Thank you. I would love to keep it.
00:28:14You are so talented. Thank you. It's gorgeous. Thank you. I would love to keep it.
00:28:30Filling the space where my marriage used to be with soft britishes.
00:28:40What do you think Elmer?
00:28:45I have another idea.
00:29:00Hey mom what's up? Have dinner with me on Wednesday. It'll take your mind off your
00:29:04anniversary and get you off the couch. I've been getting out actually. I even made a new
00:29:10friend today. A musician who thinks that marriage is an outdated social construct and Paul was
00:29:14holding me back from living my best life. What does that even mean? See you Wednesday mother.
00:29:27We can do it.
00:29:45They're cute. Hi.
00:30:01Oil changes for beginners.
00:30:06Loosen the drain plug. That looks like a drain plug. Loosening the drain plug.
00:30:14Making sure the catch pan is underneath so that the oil doesn't spill everywhere.
00:30:18I need the catch fan. Got the catch fan. Here we go.
00:30:25You changed your own oil? What? Like it's hard?
00:30:32What are you doing here Paul? I just need to grab a few things. Okay go on.
00:30:44Oh that was fun.
00:30:49It kept the dog. I didn't think you'd ever be open to that. Well you underestimated me
00:30:53in a lot of ways Paul. Now please leave. Thank you Elmer.
00:31:01Hi. My name is Helen Stevens and I need to talk to a lawyer.
00:31:22I am taking back my power.
00:31:32Hey buddy. You want to get up here with me?
00:31:40Good night Elmer.
00:31:50Hey. Hey. This park is so beautiful. Yeah just another reason to have a dog.
00:31:55Oh they're all being so nice. Like no barking or anything. Go on. There you go.
00:32:03So what did you do before you went back to vet school?
00:32:08I was a sales manager at a software company for about 18 years. What led you to make a
00:32:14change after that much time? My divorce to be honest. I got so tired of moping around
00:32:21I decided to make myself happy and follow a lifelong dream. Work with animals. I like it.
00:32:27What about you? Did you always want to be a technical illustrator? It was a great job to
00:32:31have while Allie was growing up. It's a flexible schedule. I could work from home. I could really
00:32:36fit work around being a mom. Okay but does it make you want to jump out of bed no more?
00:32:42Not exactly. I studied fine art in college and then Paul and I got married and we had Allie
00:32:50and a mortgage. Life happens. Exactly. Yeah. You know Allie keeps telling me I should get back
00:32:56into drawing and maybe I will. Just dust off my colored pencils you know. What do I have to lose?
00:33:01I like that. Draw those lemons in lemonade. Maybe I will. It sounds nice to have something
00:33:06positive to focus on right now. It's my lawyer. Hello. This is Helen.
00:33:20you
00:33:50Loud in there. So loud. Hey have I seen you around the science building? You look familiar. I'm Allie.
00:33:58I'm a freshman. Pre-med major. Trevor. I'm a freshman too. Studying bio. So if you're pre-med
00:34:06you must be taking organic chemistry with professor Shaw. Yeah it's brutal. I'm actually
00:34:10supposed to be studying now but my roommate begged me to come out with her tonight. Yeah my brother's
00:34:13a junior and he said if I didn't get out of the library and go to a party he would sign me up for
00:34:17online dating. I have to go check on my roommate. He's supposed to be your party buddy.
00:34:30I'll see you around the science building. Yeah bye.
00:34:38The court set a mediation date. I have to decide what's mine and what's his.
00:34:43We lived in the house for 20 years. Everything is ours. Get as much as you can while he's
00:34:47planning his midlife crisis. In the meantime you want something to take your mind off things?
00:34:52If you're free. I'm playing a show. I even wrote a song about Elmer. Really? Do I have to get a
00:34:59mohawk? A full hawk at least. It'd be perfect for my anniversary dinner. What? With my mother.
00:35:05Maybe if I distract her with my hair she'll forget to lecture me about my marriage.
00:35:09You know what? You can just tell you're no longer part of the patriarchal machine.
00:35:13I wish you were coming to dinner. You should come to dinner. I'm afraid my anniversary is
00:35:19going to turn me into a mess. No can't have that. I'll come. I'll come. Really?
00:35:25Hey. Hey. How are you? Come on. Hi there. How is Joy Ramon's pa? Oh much better. Good good.
00:35:34It was great running into you the other day. I had a really nice time. Yeah maybe we could take
00:35:39the pups for a walk sometime. I would like that yes. Great. I'll give you a call or Chip and Chunk
00:35:46will text Elmer. Sounds good. See you soon. See you soon. See ya. Ciao. Bye. Come on boys.
00:35:57So. So what? Someone has a dog walking date. It's not a date. I'm still married.
00:36:10Darling. Mom. Oh you look lovely when you dress up.
00:36:20Let's sit down. This place looks really nice. Hey Cindy. Cindy? Sue I love that we're reclaiming
00:36:31Helen's anniversary as her independence day. Yes. Mom I wanted you to meet my new friend
00:36:36since she's been so supportive. Yeah. Isn't that nice? Excuse me. We're gonna need another
00:36:44place setting here. And um wine list. Thank you.
00:36:54You must be so proud of Helen. She is not letting this divorce get her down. In fact she's making
00:37:10friends with Elmer's hunky new vet. She is not getting divorced. Helen you shouldn't be making
00:37:17any new friends. You should be saving your marriage. Helen? Paul what are you doing here?
00:37:25Well your mother wanted to talk to me. You two need to sort things out.
00:37:33I'm leaving and I'm sorry for dragging you into this. Don't worry about me.
00:37:37You know I'm also I am taking my cake. Atta girl.
00:37:40Helen I didn't know you were gonna be here. I promise. I believe you. This has my mother's
00:37:49fingerprints all over it. I should not have let things spiral out of control without talking to
00:37:54you. Why didn't you talk to me? I kept trying but it seemed like you didn't want to listen.
00:38:05I should have tried harder to stay connected.
00:38:08I really do want to stay friends. I care about you so much even if I haven't always acted like it.
00:38:16You are an incredible dad to Allie and we'll always be her parents together.
00:38:23But as for more than that I don't know.
00:38:30Happy anniversary.
00:38:37I cannot process this evening without ice cream.
00:38:57Elmer do you like ice cream? I feel like if I were a dog I would really like ice cream.
00:39:04That's just a guess. Guess we'll find out won't we?
00:39:12Did you eat my whole cake? It's okay I've got ice cream.
00:39:21What's going on?
00:39:25You all right?
00:39:26What's going on? Hey I think something's wrong with Elmer. I went to get ice cream and he ate
00:39:43my chocolate lava cake and now he's just laying on the couch whimpering. Chocolate's toxic for dogs.
00:39:50I poisoned him? No no no you didn't know. Meet me at the clinic okay? Okay we'll be right there. I'm leaving now.
00:40:04And Whiskers is all good to go. Just keep the cold on him for the next five days yeah?
00:40:09See you little guy. Excuse me doctor um do you know how my dog is doing? I don't know what I'm
00:40:15gonna do if he's not okay. Oh I can definitely go check for you. Um what's his name? Elmer?
00:40:19I'm Helen his vet is Ben Tolman. Oh he's mentioned you. I'll go check where he's at.
00:40:25Thank you. Thank you so much. No problem.
00:40:35Well it was a very rough night but it's gonna be okay. Oh hey there how are you feeling?
00:40:44Oh you scared me buddy. Oh I'm so glad you're okay. You're our hero. You saved him. Oh I am not
00:40:54his favorite person right now. I made him eat activated charcoal and he threw up a lot. Poor
00:40:59baby. You know on second shift tomorrow if you wanted I could swing by and check on him on my
00:41:04way in. I would love that. Would you love that Elmer? Yes yes he says we would love that. We will
00:41:10we'll see you tomorrow. Thank you so much again. No of course. All right let's let's get you home.
00:41:16We are never ever gonna touch chocolate again ever ever okay.
00:41:27Thank you again for coming by to check on him. Yeah no problem at all you're on my way to the
00:41:32clinic. Besides I should have said something about chocolate. So how's he doing? Let's just say he
00:41:38gets knocked down and he'll get up again. You are never gonna keep him down. Exactly. Now I'll be
00:41:44good as new with a few days rest. I'm sorry for imposing but you were the first person I thought
00:41:48of to call. Glad you did. Oh by the way I have a pamphlet for you. Dogs and people food just for
00:41:55a future reference. Thank you. And I have oh hi Elmer. Get well soon gift. How did you know he
00:42:02likes chewing on socks? Universal dog trait. I actually have something for you.
00:42:13Yeah you had mentioned that you wanted to get back into drawing so.
00:42:17This is incredibly thoughtful. Thank you. Yeah of course. Hey you have the exact same edition of
00:42:25Oliver Twist that I had in high school. It's my favorite book. My dad actually got that for me in
00:42:3110th grade. It's my favorite too. Oh okay who's your favorite character? Fagin. You've got to be
00:42:38kidding me. What? Who's yours? Artful Dodger? Obviously because he's the coolest. I mean who
00:42:43goes out and does all the actual work while Fagin just sits at home counting their pennies.
00:42:47Do you have to go to work right now? Uh for about an hour. Well then sit down my friend. We are
00:42:53gonna settle this. All right see what you got. Wait till you see all the notes I have written in here
00:42:59from high school. It's gonna be embarrassing isn't it?
00:43:06Wow.
00:43:11This was fun. Yeah I wish I didn't have to go to work. I'd say we should order some pizza and
00:43:15watch a musical. How about we go on that walk you suggested when Elmer's feeling better?
00:43:20I'd love that. See you soon. See you soon.
00:43:29Oh you want to go on a walk already. All right let's go. So pink is for me, blue is for Paul.
00:43:39All right normative that'll go with it. I don't even know where to start. I mean everything here
00:43:44has a memory attached to it. Yeah well stuff is just stuff and you know you're gonna have
00:43:50your memories whether or not you keep the owl lamp. My aunt gave that to us. It doesn't even
00:43:56work half the time. Okay that's what I'm talking about. You gotta ditch the baggage.
00:44:02Let me ask you this. What makes you feel excited about your new life? I liked being able to change
00:44:09my own oil. That made me feel strong and capable and I would like to do more things for myself.
00:44:14Like I wish I could fix that ridiculous lamp. I have an idea. Bring the lamp.
00:44:20So this is more than just a coffee shop. Oh yeah it's a repair cafe, Wednesdays, board games,
00:44:28Thursdays, Fridays, uh babies. That's so cool. You think they can fix my lamp? Oh yeah they can fix
00:44:34anything. Marriages? I thought you said you liked how you felt by doing things by yourself.
00:44:38Oh want to learn how to use power tools? Why stop there? Let's build something. I love it.
00:44:44Atta girl. Hey can you give us a hand? I would love to fix Mr. Owl here.
00:45:02Hey. Hey Ellie.
00:45:06Hey.
00:45:11Hey uh sorry to wake you but library's closing and uh...
00:45:21That janitor can kind of be mean about people trying to stay late.
00:45:25I'm not even halfway through the material for my organic chemistry midterm tomorrow.
00:45:28Well if you need a place to study the student center is open 24-7.
00:45:31Oh well then that is where I'm going. Um can I can I walk you there? That would be really nice.
00:45:46Hungry. Okay let's go.
00:45:51All right nothing in here is particularly hard or new. We've discussed all of this
00:45:57so it should be easy for you provided you've been paying attention which I'm sure you all
00:46:03have been. All right you have one hour beginning now.
00:46:09Okay.
00:46:23I was an only child too. Did your parents love animals?
00:46:27Uh more like animal likers. I mean they loved our cat Mina. She pretty much took care of herself but
00:46:34they would never go for a dog. And you? You grew up in a household of artists?
00:46:39My dad was an engineer. My mom a homemaker. Our house was very structured so I tried to be more
00:46:47laid back with Allie. Are we talking navel piercings or Taylor Swift concerts? More like
00:46:54if Allie had a bad day at school we'd eat cheese and crackers and watch movies
00:46:58but lately she's not even taking my calls. Yeah Skyler's been the same. It's funny we turn
00:47:03ourselves inside out trying to give them everything they need. At some point they're
00:47:07the only ones that know what that is. All we can really do is try our best right? Great.
00:47:13Now I have to call my mom. Oh oh we should uh come on over. Do you want my jacket? No no I'm good.
00:47:28I can't get over your sketches they're amazing. Well someone gave me a lovely set of colored
00:47:42pencils and I have something for you. You have helped us in so many ways so I wanted to say
00:47:48thank you for this. It's just a sketch I know it's not the Mona Lisa. Okay well now I'm just
00:47:58thinking about you sketching outside the Louvre. Oh I've always wanted to go to Paris.
00:48:05Really? Hmm.
00:48:07Come with moi to the city lights.
00:48:25I should probably get some more work done.
00:48:37Yeah I um should um probably do some stuff before I pick up Charlie from school.
00:48:43Thank you so much for the picture. It's incredible and and the shirt's amazing and
00:48:49all of it. It's all yours. Thank you. Okay come on boys.
00:48:56Mom are you okay? You're what? Are you dying? I'm an awful mother.
00:49:15Oh mom come in.
00:49:18It's okay buddy it's okay um maybe um well we could try to talk about this calmly. He doesn't
00:49:27like conflict.
00:49:29It's okay. I'm sorry.
00:49:31It's okay.
00:49:33It's alright.
00:49:35Oh I made him go away.
00:49:37It's alright. He's okay.
00:49:39I'm so sorry.
00:49:41When you told me
00:49:43you think I don't support you
00:49:45I
00:49:47I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:49:49I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:49:51I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:49:53I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:49:56You mean everything to me my darling.
00:50:02Thank you for saying that. But do you understand why I feel that way when I'm just doing the best
00:50:09I can? Oh yes I do understand. I should have told you this a long time ago. Your father and I
00:50:16separated once. What? You remember that summer you and I spent with your grandparents? Well your dad
00:50:23and I had been fighting so we agreed to spend some time apart to cool down. Why did you not tell me?
00:50:31Oh I don't know. I just thought it was better for you if we dealt with our problems privately.
00:50:40But a good mother a good mother would have set an example on how to handle marital struggles.
00:50:49Mom you have always been the best mother you can possibly be.
00:50:58And you you're strong and brave and loving and you're a wonderful mother to Allie.
00:51:07And just I want you to know I am always on your team.
00:51:13Thank you.
00:51:14Does this mean I have to like your aggressive new friend?
00:51:17No it doesn't but maybe you could come to her concert. Give her a chance. I suppose I can do that.
00:51:27No.
00:51:34Hello. Yes I put up the posters about the dog.
00:51:38He's yours?
00:51:42Sure we we can meet you tomorrow.
00:51:46We'll see you soon.
00:51:50Hey buddy we may have just found your home.
00:52:09Hello. Hey it's Ben. Hey I'm just giving Elmer a bath. How are you?
00:52:18Oh I was just wondering if you wanted to go to an art show with me tomorrow.
00:52:23Your drawing's making me want to look at art. Yeah that sounds fun. Let's do it.
00:52:28Oh I have to go. Sorry. Sophie Dog here. I'll see you tomorrow. All right yeah I'll see you tomorrow.
00:52:34That was just a friendly invite right? Not like a date. You almost ready to get out? We're getting out.
00:52:48Hey. Hey hi. Good to see you. Yeah you too. Hey.
00:52:56Um should we check it out? That sounds great.
00:52:59There was something I wanted to talk about actually.
00:53:05Hey. Oh sorry. Um it's just I may have found Elmer's family. I'm meeting with them later this
00:53:12afternoon which I know is great. I mean that's it's good. It's what I... But you're gonna miss him.
00:53:18Yes. Is that crazy? I didn't want a dog. Now I don't want him to leave. It's not crazy to me.
00:53:24Is that crazy? I didn't want a dog. Now I don't want him to leave.
00:53:27It's not crazy to me. One of the things I like most about you.
00:53:32Well thank you. What is it you wanted to talk to me about?
00:53:38Oh uh wait it's fine. Why don't we check out this masterpiece Youthful Innocence.
00:53:47It's very youthful. And innocent. Yes.
00:53:55Duke where have you been? You had us worried sick.
00:54:04So he really is your dog. He was my uncle's but he passed away last month so we took Duke in.
00:54:11I'm so sorry. Thank you so much for finding him. I'm Marissa. And I'm Justin. And these are our
00:54:18loud rambunctious very active kids. I think the constant chaos of our house will stress
00:54:24them out. I've noticed he doesn't like conflict. Would you like to come inside? We've got some
00:54:28coffee and fresh baked cookies laid out. Oh no no I don't I don't want to get in the way.
00:54:32Come on buddy you want to go inside?
00:54:36Seems to be quite taken by you.
00:54:41Would it help you all out if he came to live with me? I would love to give him a home.
00:54:50I think he'd love that.
00:54:54Hey there buddy. You want to come home with me? You do?
00:55:06Um excuse me professor. I got a D plus on my midterm and I need a B plus average to
00:55:12maintain my pre-med scholarship. Um I was wondering maybe I could do some extra credit?
00:55:17This isn't high school. There is no extra credit. Oh um well then what can I do?
00:55:25You can work very hard and perform exceptionally well on the two remaining midterms in the final
00:55:31exam. Or you can choose an easier course of study.
00:55:37Is there anything else? Um no. Thank you.
00:55:48Elmer! Dinner!
00:55:56We're family now buddy. I never thought I'd be having dinner with you.
00:56:02We're family now buddy. I never thought I would say this but I am so glad you're staying with me.
00:56:33Keys under the mat. Come in unless you're an intruder.
00:56:40Hi. Hi.
00:56:43Maybe find out if it's an intruder before you mention the spare key.
00:56:47I got this little doggie bed for Elmer now that he's staying here for good.
00:56:50That is very nice of you but I've actually decided to let him sleep in my bed
00:56:54which is where he's going to sleep.
00:56:57That is very nice of you but I've actually decided to let him sleep in my bed
00:57:01which is where he is right now.
00:57:04It's official. You're a dog person.
00:57:08Hey what's this?
00:57:09Well I realized last night that all of my drawings of Elmer could be a story.
00:57:15I think I have a whole book maybe even a whole series.
00:57:18Yeah Elmer could have all sorts of different adventures.
00:57:21Which means I need to have more adventures of my own for inspiration.
00:57:25Are you busy later today?
00:57:28No. No I'm not.
00:57:37You okay?
00:57:39Yeah. I might be a teeny tiny bit terrified of heights.
00:57:47So you decided to climb a 40-foot wall.
00:57:50Allie loves climbing but I've always been too scared to try it.
00:57:55So today's the day.
00:58:00No pressure okay?
00:58:02I may not make it to the top but I'm gonna be very brave and I'm gonna try.
00:58:09Okay.
00:58:29I love that I invited you to do something crazy with me and you didn't even hesitate to say yes.
00:58:33Normally I have these kind of adventures alone so it's nice to have a partner.
00:58:38I know right? I'm really glad we're friends.
00:58:44Right.
00:58:47What's on your mind?
00:58:51Well um you know when I'm with you as much as I do I love I love being your friend.
00:59:02I'd like to be more.
00:59:06With me?
00:59:07Yeah if you feel the same way.
00:59:12Oh.
00:59:15I I just I don't I don't really know how I feel.
00:59:21I mean yes I am starting to have feelings for you too but I just
00:59:28I guess I don't know if that's really what's good for me right now.
00:59:31Yeah yeah no no yeah no I completely understand.
00:59:36Yeah.
00:59:40Well I should get home I've got to get ready for my mediation tomorrow.
00:59:46Here let me help you.
00:59:47Oh sorry I'm just the chair.
00:59:49All right well I'll I'll see you soon.
00:59:51Yeah.
01:00:06Hey what are you guys doing here?
01:00:16We are so sorry we handle things totally wrong.
01:00:18We should have been there for you as soon as we heard.
01:00:20How are you doing?
01:00:21Well after mediation tomorrow I'm going to be 43 and alone for the first time in decades.
01:00:27For what it's worth James and Greg told Paul he's being a colossal idiot.
01:00:31I'm actually okay with it.
01:00:32I'm learning I can stand on my own two feet.
01:00:34And we are so proud of you for that.
01:00:36Can we still be your besties?
01:00:38We brought cake.
01:00:40Come on in.
01:00:41I love you guys and also I love cake so.
01:00:53All right let's begin with the division of assets starting with the house.
01:00:57Mr. Stevens what is your position?
01:01:01My position is that we should both live in the house together.
01:01:07I think I made a mistake.
01:01:10Paul.
01:01:11I changed my mind about Denver.
01:01:13I think we should try to make this work.
01:01:17Will you stay married to me?
01:01:22I need to talk to you outside.
01:01:32Okay what is going on?
01:01:35So you're not you're not going to Denver?
01:01:37I want to stay.
01:01:39I want to give us a chance to work on things.
01:01:42But why?
01:01:43You.
01:01:45You started acting in ways that I I could never even imagine.
01:01:49And then I realized that maybe you had to be the steady one because I was so restless.
01:01:54And maybe things would have been different if I could have been the anchor.
01:02:02Go on.
01:02:05You know what if I made a mistake?
01:02:09What if we could have new adventures together?
01:02:11We could go backpacking again.
01:02:12Backpacking trip around the world isn't going to fix us.
01:02:17And that's okay.
01:02:21You want to go to Denver.
01:02:23You're excited for a new opportunity.
01:02:26And I've started building my own life.
01:02:28I'm proud of what I'm doing and who I'm becoming.
01:02:34I know.
01:02:36I see it.
01:02:41I can't go backwards.
01:03:01So what do we do now?
01:03:04We tell Allie.
01:03:06Together.
01:03:09Hey!
01:03:12Anyone home?
01:03:15Mom?
01:03:16Dad?
01:03:29It's a lot for her to process.
01:03:31She's so delicate.
01:03:31We just need to come up with the best way to tell her.
01:03:33Tell me what?
01:03:34What is going on around here?
01:03:36Allie, what are you doing here?
01:03:37Allie, are you okay?
01:03:38I don't understand.
01:03:39You're splitting your stuff?
01:03:41Are you getting a divorce?
01:03:43Is that why you've both been acting so weird?
01:03:46Your mother and I have been having problems.
01:03:50And we're taking some time apart.
01:03:52Time apart?
01:03:53Honey, we're separated.
01:03:56Why didn't you tell me?
01:04:04You have so much going on right now.
01:04:05Well, not anymore.
01:04:07I'm flunking organic chemistry and I'm gonna lose my scholarship.
01:04:11I'm switching to an easier major.
01:04:12What?
01:04:13Why do you care?
01:04:15You're separated and you didn't even think that you should tell me?
01:04:18Okay, um, not right now.
01:04:20I'm going to Grants.
01:04:24I'll take the bus back to campus tomorrow.
01:04:27Oh.
01:04:34Elmer!
01:04:35No!
01:04:39Elmer ran away.
01:04:41Hey, can you bring Chip and Chunk to the dog park?
01:04:43Maybe if he sees his friends, he'll come back.
01:04:46Thank you.
01:04:47Maybe he'll come back on his own.
01:04:48Or maybe he'll get lost again and end up in a shelter with no one to take care of him.
01:04:52Okay, I'm here.
01:04:53Which way did he go?
01:04:53We don't know.
01:04:54He got out too quickly.
01:04:55I'll take Graham.
01:04:55I'm going to the dog park.
01:04:57I'll go.
01:04:58Elmer!
01:05:01Elmer!
01:05:02Elmer!
01:05:06Well, this clearly isn't working.
01:05:10I'm gonna go home and make him a steak.
01:05:12Elmer likes steak.
01:05:14So you're gonna walk around holding a steak so he comes to you?
01:05:17Yeah, I am.
01:05:18I can't think of anything else to do.
01:05:21All right, I'll come with you.
01:05:23I should go by myself.
01:05:26Okay.
01:05:31Hey, are we okay?
01:05:34We haven't talked since the other day when I mentioned what I mentioned.
01:05:40I don't want to be here for you.
01:05:45I know.
01:05:47And I guess I'm just not ready yet.
01:05:53Yeah.
01:05:56Yeah.
01:06:03If Elmer ever does come back,
01:06:07maybe I should find him a new home.
01:06:10No, come on, Helen.
01:06:11He needs a home he'll be happy in, not one he wants to run away from.
01:06:26Elmer?
01:06:30Oh, Gilbert!
01:06:33You came home!
01:06:35Oh my goodness!
01:06:37I was so worried!
01:06:41Let's get you inside.
01:06:53I am so sorry.
01:06:55I'm sorry the arguing upset you.
01:06:58I know you hate it, but it really hurt that you ran away.
01:07:03Oh, oh, Elmer!
01:07:05You found him!
01:07:06Oh my gosh!
01:07:08Hi, buddy!
01:07:09I'll text dad and let him know you found him.
01:07:12I'm really sorry. I let him out.
01:07:13It's not your fault, honey.
01:07:14My word, you scared us!
01:07:16Yes, you did!
01:07:17Yes, you did!
01:07:17Grant, you like dogs now?
01:07:21Can you go upstairs and get Elmer some of his special treats?
01:07:24Let's get him settled in for the night.
01:07:27Come here, you.
01:07:28Off to bed.
01:07:29Come here, little buddy.
01:07:30Oh, you scared us.
01:07:32Yeah.
01:07:34You have had quite the night, honey.
01:07:37And quite the day.
01:07:40In mediation, Paul said he wanted to try again.
01:07:47I told him no.
01:07:51That was after Ben told me he wants to be more than friends.
01:07:55Is that what you want?
01:07:59I like him.
01:08:01Maybe even really like him, but it's too much right now.
01:08:05I've got to get off this emotional roller coaster.
01:08:09It's been quite the ride.
01:08:12Mom, would you be open to taking Elmer?
01:08:15I don't think I can handle him running away again.
01:08:18Oh, darling.
01:08:20I know how much you've been through.
01:08:22But Elmer isn't Paul.
01:08:24And neither is Ben.
01:08:30You need to talk to Allie, so I'm going to get out of here.
01:08:36I love you, darling.
01:08:40I love you, too, Mom.
01:08:45Bye-bye, Allie.
01:08:47Bye, Gran.
01:08:47Love you.
01:08:48I love you, too.
01:08:53Is that sharp cheddar?
01:08:59Oh, I brought everything.
01:09:08Honey, I'm really sorry that I didn't tell you.
01:09:13Honestly, I think I was just trying to process it myself.
01:09:19Have you processed it?
01:09:21Well, Gran says the more you tend it, the more love grows.
01:09:28And I guess I've been learning that love changes, and it grows with time.
01:09:37And it's funny.
01:09:38I'm actually more comfortable with myself right now than I've ever been.
01:09:46I really hate you and Dad not being together.
01:09:51But I want you both to be happy.
01:09:55Thank you.
01:09:57Oh, I love you so much.
01:09:59I love you, too, Mom.
01:10:05So what happened with college?
01:10:10I didn't study enough.
01:10:13I was too busy trying to be cool and make friends.
01:10:17Is that why you haven't wanted to talk to me?
01:10:21I just want you to be proud of me.
01:10:23I am proud of you because of who you are.
01:10:26I know, but I just feel like I've messed it all up too much.
01:10:28Maybe you can fix it.
01:10:30But where would I even start?
01:10:32I think you have to figure that out.
01:10:34It's what...
01:10:35What do you kids call it these days?
01:10:37Adulting?
01:10:38Oh, gosh.
01:10:51Thank you so much.
01:11:09You've been a fantastic audience.
01:11:11That song is new and it was inspired by my new friend, Elmer.
01:11:15Cindy's music is rather catchy.
01:11:17You got to be careful, Mom.
01:11:18It almost seems like you're having fun.
01:11:21Thank you.
01:11:22All right.
01:11:23We have one more song for you.
01:11:24And this is a request from a special man who wants to let a certain lady know that he's
01:11:30there for her if she wants that.
01:11:47You're here.
01:11:48I can't believe you got Cindy to play tug-pumping.
01:11:53Oh, she and I both know in the immortal words of Chumbawamba,
01:11:56they are never going to keep you down.
01:12:00I think you're amazing, Helen.
01:12:02And I know how much you're going through.
01:12:03And I'm so sorry that I made it more complicated.
01:12:07I want you to know that I'm here for you as a friend, if you want.
01:12:13I don't think we can be friends.
01:12:18I understand.
01:12:20Because you're right.
01:12:22What we have is special.
01:12:24And I've just been scared, but I don't want to live from a place of fear.
01:12:32Are you saying that you want to give us a chance?
01:12:36We have to take things slowly, like really, really slow.
01:12:39Really slow, absolutely.
01:12:42Maybe we could just start with a dog walk tomorrow.
01:12:45I would love that.
01:12:46And maybe tonight, a dance?
01:12:51One more time!
01:13:14Hey, honey, how's school?
01:13:16Good. I've been going to the science tutoring center every day.
01:13:18And if I ace the next two midterms and the final,
01:13:20I can still maintain a B plus average.
01:13:22Oh, I'm so proud of you.
01:13:24It feels good.
01:13:25And I'm meeting lots of nice science nerds.
01:13:28Mom, this is Trevor.
01:13:30Hi, Allie's mom.
01:13:32Hi!
01:13:33I should get back to studying.
01:13:35I just wanted to say hi.
01:13:36And I'll call you this weekend.
01:13:37I love you. Have fun.
01:13:39I love you, too.
01:13:40Bye.
01:13:41Bye.
01:13:45I am very sorry.
01:13:47I said I was going to find you a new home.
01:13:49I was just hurt.
01:13:50And I was scared.
01:13:51Just don't run away again, okay?
01:13:57Ready for the walk?
01:14:41Let's write the numbers.
01:14:44Here, for example, the number 231.
01:14:47The way to read it is 231.
01:14:50And the way to write it is 231.
01:14:55Similarly, for the next number,
01:14:57we'll do the same as the first part.
01:15:00We have 794.
01:15:03700 is 7.
01:15:05We'll fill it in.
01:15:07Just like this green string.
01:15:09We have 794.
01:15:15We'll write it as 794.
01:15:18Next, 601.
01:15:21601.
01:15:23We'll write it as 600.
01:15:26We'll find it here.
01:15:28Linh. Linh is 0.
01:15:301. Right?
01:15:31601.
01:15:33Next, 855.
01:15:38855.
01:15:42There.
01:15:44This is 855.
