00:00:00Poetry and poverty of hearts
00:00:05Beauty and despair
00:00:09We shine like starlights
00:00:17Through our darkness
00:00:23We shine like starlights
00:00:30We shine like starlights
00:00:47We shine like starlights
00:00:54Through the silence
00:01:00We shine like starlights
00:01:08We shine like starlights
00:01:14We shine like starlights

00:03:18We shine like starlights
00:03:24Through the silence
00:03:30We shine like starlights
00:03:36What's happening?
00:03:38I need to talk to you.
00:03:39What's up?
00:03:40Sit down.
00:03:41Ben, I said I want to talk to you.
00:03:43Really talk to you.
00:03:45Okay.
00:03:50Doris, hold all my calls until I say.
00:03:59I'm all ears.
00:04:02Just say it.
00:04:05We're going to have to let you go, Ben.
00:04:08You're serious?
00:04:10We've lost three of our major accounts this year.
00:04:12Two this quarter.
00:04:14I built this company with you in 98 when Stuart died.
00:04:19Who do you think kept half the clients from leaving? I did.
00:04:21What, you think I haven't had offers over the years?
00:04:23I'm sure you have.
00:04:26Twenty years I've been with this company.
00:04:29Our business isn't personal anymore.
00:04:31It's not about relationships.
00:04:33It's about market share and numbers.
00:04:36You're out, Ben.
00:04:38I'm sorry.
00:04:55Hey, big brother.
00:04:57Bartender.
00:04:59Let me tell you something.
00:05:01It doesn't mean anything.
00:05:03Remember in high school when I got laid off from Falcons Frozen Custard?
00:05:06I got fired, Brian.
00:05:08And you got fired from Falcons.
00:05:11Cooling your feet in a soft serve.
00:05:13Yeah, well, I would have gotten laid off if the health department had a clue.
00:05:16Shut that place down first.
00:05:20Twenty years.
00:05:26What are you going to do?
00:05:28Severance isn't going to last forever.
00:05:31Thankfully, at least I was generous, huh?
00:05:34I don't know. I guess I'm spending a lot more time with Lindsay and Dylan.
00:05:37And that's a good thing.
00:05:40Probably make a few phone calls.
00:05:43I don't know, Brian.
00:05:45I've only been fired for a couple of hours.
00:05:47So I'm still kind of figuring it out, you know?
00:05:50Don't wait too long to put a spit shine on your resume.
00:05:53Man, it's tough out there.
00:05:55My resume. One line. Twenty years.
00:05:58Hey, it's a different world out there.
00:06:01The other day my new assistant asked me if she could Twitter me.
00:06:04I actually blushed before she told me what it meant.
00:06:07Man, you go through assistants like nobody I've ever seen.
00:06:10And a day trader that even needs an assistant.
00:06:13Hey, day trading is an art.
00:06:15Man, if Dad could see that you threw away a perfectly good law degree to day trade,
00:06:20he'd probably roll in his grave.
00:06:22Dad held on to the same dozen stocks for fifty years.
00:06:26Twenty years.
00:06:29Twenty years.
00:06:53We got her.
00:07:01Who did this?
00:07:03You guys?
00:07:04No.
00:07:05I am so disappointed in you two.
00:07:09Nula, are you okay?
00:07:14You guys wait for me in the other room, okay?
00:07:16Now, go.
00:07:23Look, I...
00:07:27I don't know how to say this, Nula,
00:07:30but I'm going to let you go.
00:07:32I go? Yes, I go.
00:07:34You know, this is too much.
00:07:36I'll come back tomorrow.
00:07:37We became better.
00:07:38No, no, Nula, you don't understand.
00:07:40Something's happened and...
00:07:42I'm letting you go.
00:07:53Well, at least now I know why I've never been able to keep the hired help here longer than a couple weeks.
00:08:00Guys, I don't know how to say this except to just say it.
00:08:05I lost my job.
00:08:07Where'd you lose it?
00:08:09It's not like that, buddy, it's...
00:08:12Dad got fired.
00:08:14You got fired?
00:08:15Oh, my gosh.
00:08:17Are we going to have to move?
00:08:19Are we going to run out of money?
00:08:20Am I going to have to change schools?
00:08:21Oh, my God, are we going to have to move?
00:08:23Wait, everybody calm, calm down, okay?
00:08:29First of all, we're not going to run out of money, buddy.
00:08:33We're fine.
00:08:34Secondly, Lindsay, we're not moving anywhere.
00:08:37Okay, baby?
00:08:38This is our home and this is where we're going to stay.
00:08:42I'll find another job.
00:08:43It just may take a little time.
00:08:45Tina Wilson's father got laid off last year and they still haven't found a job for him
00:08:50and her mom has to work as a maid and clean people's houses and they grow carrots up in the hills now.
00:08:54Lindsay, enough. Come on.
00:08:56It's true, Dad.
00:08:57Regardless if it's true, I'm not cleaning somebody else's house, okay?
00:09:02I'm going to have a hard enough time keeping up with this house.
00:09:05Dad, you didn't clean this house.
00:09:07Nuala did.
00:09:09Yeah?
00:09:10Well, you're looking at the new Nuala now, buddy.
00:09:13So let me get this straight.
00:09:15You're going to cook and clean and do pretty much everything else Nuala did?
00:09:22I'm going to give it my best shot and guess what?
00:09:24We're all going to pitch in, okay?
00:09:29We'll get through this.
00:09:30We've been through a lot worse, God knows.
00:09:34You know, there is a silver lining to all this.
00:09:36Now that I don't have a job, I'm going to have a lot more time to be with you guys now.
00:09:42Who knows, you might even appreciate having the old man around a little more often, huh?
00:09:46Maybe.
00:09:50I love you guys so much.
00:09:53Love you too, Dad.
00:09:54We're going to be just fine, okay?
00:09:57Because we're tough.
00:09:58We're the Westmans.
00:10:00Right?
00:10:01Yeah.
00:10:12I love you.
00:10:38Big hug.
00:10:42Big hug.
00:11:13Big hug.
00:11:20Hey, what are you doing up?
00:11:23I couldn't sleep.
00:11:24I heard the TV.
00:11:31Gosh.
00:11:33Mom is so beautiful.
00:11:38Come here, let's eat.
00:11:43Every time I see you, I see your mom.
00:11:46Thanks.
00:11:49Hey, Daddy.
00:11:51Say hi, Daddy.
00:11:52Say, you know what, Daddy, thank you for the party.
00:11:54You know what, Daddy, thank you for the party.
00:11:58Do you think Mom's in a better place?
00:12:01Yeah, she is.
00:12:03She's up in heaven with God, buddy.
00:12:05That's a good idea.
00:12:06Here, show us how you take a photo.
00:12:09I know.
00:12:11Ready?
00:12:12So why did God take her from us?
00:12:15I don't know.
00:12:20But I believe that she lives in our heart.
00:12:23And every time you think about her, she's with you.
00:12:41She's really happy because of everything.
00:12:43Daddy, look at our big boy.
00:12:44Look at our big boy.
00:12:46He had the chubbiest cheeks back then.
00:13:01Where's your sister?
00:13:02Lindsey!
00:13:03Come on!
00:13:04What?
00:13:05I'm right here.
00:13:06Come on, buddy.
00:13:08Oh my gosh.
00:13:10It's called breakfast.
00:13:12No, it's called an explosion, Dad.
00:13:14Dig in, dig in.
00:13:15These will be at least as good as Nula's, if not better.
00:13:19Nula's was disgusting.
00:13:20Yeah, Nula's was terrible.
00:13:22We ate them under the napkins.
00:13:24Guys, listen to me.
00:13:26We've had a little bad luck.
00:13:27I lost my job, but there's no reason we can't turn this into a positive.
00:13:30So this is how it's going to be every day from now on.
00:13:33We're going to eat breakfast like a family.
00:13:35Did you even put eggs in these?
00:13:37I swear, they're like...
00:13:38Not lovely.
00:13:39No.
00:13:40They smell like...
00:13:42Ew.
00:13:44You're supposed to put eggs in it.
00:13:48So this guy gets home right before the game starts and he starts eating his chicken.
00:13:52But he's not even looking at it because he eats this chicken a couple times a week,
00:13:56so he should know exactly what it tastes like, right?
00:13:58Right.
00:14:00But something's not tasting right.
00:14:02So he looks down.
00:14:04And guess what he sees?
00:14:05What does he see?
00:14:06What does he see?
00:14:07It was a fried rat.
00:14:09Aw, ew.
00:14:10Come on.
00:14:11Yeah.
00:14:12And it crawled into the fire the night before and drowned in the oil.
00:14:15And when the workers were adding the chicken, I mean, nobody noticed it.
00:14:18No.
00:14:19It could happen.
00:14:20Yeah, but that's kind of gross.
00:14:22And speaking of food, where's our lunches?
00:14:25Yeah, you guys are buying lunch today.
00:14:27Dad, no one eats that stuff. It's filled with preservatives.
00:14:30You guys have to eat it today.
00:14:32Tomorrow and from then on, I'll make your lunch.
00:14:35Today got away from me. I'm sorry.
00:14:50This line, I can't wait any longer. I'm going to be late.
00:14:53Dad, you have to wait in line like everyone else.
00:14:59Man, people are like sheep.
00:15:00They're all waiting back there and there's nobody going in this way.
00:15:05Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:15:09Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
00:15:10Excuse me.
00:15:11Sir.
00:15:12Hi.
00:15:13Sir.
00:15:14Sir.
00:15:15Sir.
00:15:16You're new here, aren't you?
00:15:17I don't know if you noticed those cars coming towards you, but I need you to go that way.
00:15:20Okay?
00:15:21Yes.
00:15:22Could you move, please, now?
00:15:23Hi, Lindsay. How you doing?
00:15:24Hi.
00:15:25Yes, could you move that way?
00:15:26Thank you so much.
00:15:27Whoa!
00:15:28Whoa!
00:15:29You know what?
00:15:30Come back here.
00:15:31Here.
00:15:32Here.
00:15:33Right here.
00:15:34Dad!
00:15:35I'm not going to live this down until high school!
00:15:39High school!
00:15:42Bye, Lindsay.
00:15:44You're not my dad.
00:15:52Hi.
00:15:53Hi.
00:15:54Morning, Dylan.
00:15:55Hi, Miss Jensen.
00:15:56Um, just hold on one moment, okay?
00:15:58I'm going to lead you to safety.
00:16:01That's Miss Jensen, your teacher?
00:16:03Yeah.
00:16:04Let's move these cars off to the right.
00:16:06All right.
00:16:07No problem, Miss Jensen.
00:16:08Thanks.
00:16:09Okay.
00:16:10She's going to make some room for you on the right.
00:16:12Thanks.
00:16:13I owe you.
00:16:14I'm, uh, I'm Ben.
00:16:15I'm, uh, Dylan's dad.
00:16:17I figured.
00:16:19Oh.
00:16:21Hi.
00:16:23So, um, when you come back for pickup, just make sure that you're on time and you enter from that direction.
00:16:30Okay.
00:16:31You ready to go, Dylan?
00:16:32Yeah.
00:16:33All right, let's go.
00:16:35See you, pal.
00:16:36Bye, Dad.
00:16:44Okay, this way.
00:16:46This way.
00:16:59Okay.
00:17:30Okay.
00:17:42Hello?
00:17:43Hello, is this Mr. Ben Westman?
00:17:45Yes, it is.
00:17:46We're going to need you to pick up Dylan from school.
00:17:48What?
00:17:52Thank you for rushing over so quickly.
00:17:54They told me Dylan got in a fight.
00:17:56Where is he?
00:17:57Is he okay?
00:17:58He's fine, Mr. Westman.
00:17:59And, uh, yes, he did get into a fight.
00:18:03I don't believe Dylan has ever been in a fight.
00:18:05Why would somebody pick on him?
00:18:07It appears that Dylan was the instigator.
00:18:10What?
00:18:11Afraid so.
00:18:12Your son punched a fellow student.
00:18:14And all I can get out of Dylan is it has something to do with what this student said about his mother.
00:18:22And since we teach all of our children here that violence is never an answer,
00:18:27I have no choice but to give Dylan a two-day suspension.
00:18:33Dylan only?
00:18:37It's a little extreme, don't you think?
00:18:39It's district policy.
00:18:41Pretty lopsided policy.
00:18:44Where's Dylan now? Can I see him, please?
00:18:52Dylan!
00:18:55Hey, bud, why don't you go sit over there?
00:18:59Hi.
00:19:00Hi.
00:19:01Well, two times in one day. Must be a sign.
00:19:03They're handling him badly. They're punishing the wrong kid, you know.
00:19:07I mean, I don't think Dylan's ever been a problem.
00:19:09No, if only all my students were as great as Dylan.
00:19:12Exactly.
00:19:14So, how is he?
00:19:15I haven't spoken to him about it yet.
00:19:18How are you doing?
00:19:19Okay, I'm fine. Just a little frustrated, maybe.
00:19:21Well, listen, if you ever need any help or advice with Dylan,
00:19:26then my email address is in the packet that they hand out to all the kids in the beginning of the year.
00:19:32Packet.
00:19:34I'll look for it.
00:19:36Okay.
00:19:37My wife used to do all of this, so...
00:19:42Um, I have to get back to class.
00:19:46Thanks.
00:19:47Sure.
00:19:50Come on, dude.
00:20:00Let's go.
00:20:02Where'd you hit him?
00:20:03What?
00:20:05Where'd you hit him?
00:20:06Here.
00:20:10See, because it's complicated, and your principal is such a busy person,
00:20:15she didn't take the time to fully understand what had happened, pal.
00:20:19So now you know why she got so upset, right?
00:20:21Yeah. He had it coming.
00:20:23Yeah. Definitely had it coming.
00:20:26And I'm proud of you, pal.
00:20:28You stood up for yourself. That's important.
00:20:31Now, I'm not saying that you beat somebody up every time they say something you don't like.
00:20:37Can we go play ball now?
00:20:43Yeah. Let's go.
00:20:50Okay.
00:21:05Here, let me help you with that.
00:21:08I got it. Thank you.
00:21:09Oh, don't be silly. Everybody could use a little help.
00:21:14I wish I had somebody who could help me with my chores.
00:21:17Our parents had it so easy.
00:21:18They would just send us off with a PB&J and a quarter for milk.
00:21:22Now you can't even send your kid to school for fear of a kid breaking out in hives from a food allergy.
00:21:29Everything's changed, huh?
00:21:30Yeah.
00:21:31My 12-year-old asked me for a latte the other day.
00:21:33And then she had to come home because she was lactose intolerant.
00:21:36Kids are allergic to everything these days.
00:21:41Just trying to hang in. Thank you very much.
00:21:43No problem. Have a great day.
00:21:45You too.
00:21:47Bye.
00:22:17Bye.
00:22:48Mmm.
00:23:13Mmm. Yum.
00:23:15Good.
00:23:17Yum.
00:23:28Dad!
00:23:30Oh, yeah.
00:23:48Dad.
00:23:52Dad, my beer.
00:24:17Dad.
00:24:42Dad.
00:24:43Mmm?
00:24:47Dad.
00:24:52What's going on?
00:24:54Nothing.
00:24:56I just couldn't sleep.
00:25:00Well, it seems like just last week your little baby used to lie in here just like this.
00:25:07Right in my arms, sucking those two fingers.
00:25:11Looking around.
00:25:13Mom said that I was a terrible sleeper.
00:25:16That I'd be up half the night screaming my head off.
00:25:20Well, she wasn't lying to you.
00:25:24You had colic.
00:25:25Midnight till 5 a.m. every night without fail.
00:25:29Oh, gosh.
00:25:31It was brutal.
00:25:32Must have been.
00:25:33It was worth it, though. I wouldn't trade it for anything, Bill.
00:25:37Dad?
00:25:38Mmm-hmm?
00:25:39Was Mom the first girl you ever dated?
00:25:42Like, was she your first girlfriend?
00:25:46Well, I met Mom in college.
00:25:49So, uh, I might have had a couple of dates in high school before that.
00:25:55Nothing serious, though.
00:25:58Why do you ask?
00:25:59I don't know.
00:26:00I just wanted to know.
00:26:03I love you, Daddy.
00:26:04Good night, buddy.
00:26:09Oh, yeah.
00:26:10By the way, Dylan's not asleep.
00:26:13He's playing his video games underneath the covers.
00:26:16Thanks for telling me, Benedict Arnold.
00:26:18Just so you know.
00:26:20Ed!
00:26:22Ed!
00:26:25I can't breathe!
00:26:26You're having an asthma attack, Dylan, you're going to be okay.
00:26:31What?
00:26:32Get your brother's atomizer, he's having an asthma attack!
00:26:37He's not getting better!
00:26:39What?!
00:26:40What?!
00:26:42What?!
00:26:45He's out of breath.
00:26:46He's out of breath!
00:26:47He's out of breath!
00:26:48You're having an asthma attack!
00:26:49Okay.
00:26:50You're gonna be okay, buddy.
00:26:55I found it, Dad!
00:26:58Dad, it's empty!
00:26:59Alright, grab the door, come on.
00:27:00Okay.
00:27:01You're gonna be fine.
00:27:02Just keep breathing.
00:27:03Keep breathing, darling.
00:27:10Ben.
00:27:11He's gonna be fine.
00:27:13He's breathing.
00:27:14He was conscious when you got him in here.
00:27:15Ben, I should never, never have let this happen.
00:27:18This is, I'm just...
00:27:19It could happen to anybody.
00:27:20I gotta be on top of this stuff better, Brian.
00:27:23I gotta stop letting stuff slide.
00:27:29Just let me get her home, alright?
00:27:31Until it's four in the morning.
00:27:32No.
00:27:33No, Uncle Brian.
00:27:34I wanna stay until we find out something.
00:27:37I should've known that the inhaler was expired.
00:27:40What?
00:27:42I mean, I've used it on him before.
00:27:43I just should've checked it real quick.
00:27:45Hey.
00:27:47Lindsey.
00:27:48This is not your fault.
00:27:50None of this is your fault.
00:27:52I know you've taken a lot more than most 12-year-olds, baby, but...
00:27:56If anybody's to blame for this, it's me.
00:27:58It's my job to be on top of this, okay?
00:28:01Alright?
00:28:04Mr. Westman.
00:28:05Doc, how is he?
00:28:06He's fine.
00:28:07It was just an asthma attack.
00:28:08It was a bad one, but he's gonna be okay.
00:28:11I'm gonna give you a prescription for a new atomizer.
00:28:18When was the last time you had an attack?
00:28:21He's been having them pretty frequently, almost every couple weeks.
00:28:24But they've never been this severe.
00:28:26Well, he needs to use his inhaler as soon as he starts feeling the discomfort coming on.
00:28:30It should never get to this point.
00:28:33It had expired, Doc.
00:28:36I'm on top of this now, though.
00:28:39I'm gonna have a nurse give you an inhaler and a new prescription,
00:28:41and I'll have her explain everything to you.
00:28:43Okay?
00:28:44Alright, thanks. Can I see you?
00:28:45Yeah, sure. Come on back in here.
00:28:52Hey, pal.
00:28:55Hey.
00:28:56How you feeling?
00:28:58Okay.
00:29:00You're gonna be alright, buddy.
00:29:04Promise?
00:29:05Yeah, I promise.
00:29:08You scared me, buddy.
00:29:11What do you say we take school off tomorrow and have a movie today, huh?
00:29:15Yeah.
00:29:16Okay.
00:29:27How is he?
00:29:29He's okay.
00:29:31How are you doing?
00:29:32I'm okay.
00:29:38I love you.
00:29:52If I told you every time I washed my clothes, Mom, you'd be so over it.
00:29:56You wouldn't be able to handle me anymore, okay?
00:29:58So you don't need to ask every time I do anything.
00:30:00I'm living a life now.
00:30:02I've been out of the house now for a full month and I haven't died yet,
00:30:06so clearly I'm not gonna die now.
00:30:08Mom, you know what? I've got somebody standing right in front of me.
00:30:10Can I call you back in a bit or something?
00:30:12Bye.
00:30:14Yeah, can I help you?
00:30:16Ben Westman, to see Craig Vitilla, please.
00:30:21Craig, I've got a Mr. Ben Whitman here.
00:30:24Westman.
00:30:29Okay. You got it.
00:30:32Have a seat, Craig will be right with you.
00:30:34Thanks.
00:30:37Okay.
00:30:44They working on the whole build?
00:30:46You know, I'm actually only temping here, obviously.
00:30:49Oh.
00:30:50Working here until I finish my screenplay.
00:30:52You're writing a screenplay?
00:30:54Yeah.
00:30:56How long have you been temping?
00:30:58About 18 months.
00:31:04Craig says send him in now.
00:31:06Okay. Yeah, absolutely.
00:31:09Craig's ready for you. Right through there.
00:31:11Thanks.
00:31:13Um, yeah, right through the Zen lobby.
00:31:18Okay.
00:31:20Okay.
00:31:21Yeah, right through the Zen lobby.
00:31:27Come on, guys.
00:31:29Mikey, watch your flank.
00:31:31Over to the left. Yeah, get him. Nice shot.
00:31:35Oh!
00:31:39You play the new Halo?
00:31:40No.
00:31:41God, you don't want to. It is addictive and so much better than the last version.
00:31:47Oh, God. Craig Vitilla. Pleased to meet you.
00:31:51Ben Westman. Nice to meet you.
00:31:53All right.
00:31:54Hey, uh, sit. Sit.
00:31:57So...
00:31:58Yeah, yeah, no, the Karma Balls.
00:32:01I wasn't, uh, I wasn't sure about them either, but the company acupuncturist was adamant.
00:32:07Said that with everybody having the proper curvature, we could increase productivity by a sixth of a percent each year.
00:32:17So.
00:32:18So, um...
00:32:21I really appreciate you taking the time to see me.
00:32:23I gotta tell you, I've been reading a lot of very impressive stuff about digital expotential in the trades.
00:32:28Well, you can't believe everything you read.
00:32:30First rule of advertising.
00:32:32Oh, yeah.
00:32:34Good one.
00:32:37Um, so I guess, uh, you've, uh, read my resume.
00:32:41Yeah, I, uh...
00:32:44I have some spares.
00:32:46There you go.
00:32:52Wow. Twenty years at Stuart North, huh?
00:32:56Yeah, I guess if nothing else, I'm loyal, right?
00:32:58This, uh, this position is for vice president of new media. You realize that?
00:33:04Yeah. That's what the job description said.
00:33:07And you have expertise in this area?
00:33:08Correct.
00:33:09I handled Atlantic International for the last eight years. Never once have they gone out to bid.
00:33:14Now I could probably bring those guys over here.
00:33:17Vacation Factory. I helped make them the number one go-to resource for hands-on learning programs.
00:33:22And, uh, Burger Corral. Remember that, uh, ad a couple years back?
00:33:25Come on in, take a bite out of life!
00:33:28That was one of mine. Um...
00:33:30That all sounds very impressive.
00:33:32But let me ask you a question.
00:33:37How many social network accounts do you have?
00:33:42SNAs? Facebook? MySpace? Ning or Kutz?
00:33:49My daughter, I think, is on Facebook.
00:33:52Do you, do you have a blog?
00:33:54No.
00:33:55Do you, do you podcast? Vidcast? Do you Twitter?
00:33:59Twitter. I may Twitter.
00:34:04Uh, Ben, may I be blunt? I started this company.
00:34:08You know, not to, uh, not to get into the ad business, but to change the ad business.
00:34:15I need someone who understands that.
00:34:18Yeah, look, Craig, let me be straight with you.
00:34:24A couple years from now, when your investors want to know why you have more, uh, karma balls than profits,
00:34:30you're gonna come looking for a guy like me, but guess what? I'll be busy.
00:34:34I appreciate your time.
00:34:36Oh, and by the way, it would kill my back.
00:34:40Good luck with the screenplay, Eisenstein.
00:34:43Hey, how'd it go?
00:34:46You nailed it, right?
00:34:47No, I wouldn't say I nailed it, brother.
00:34:49What happened?
00:34:50This guy was possibly the biggest jerk I have ever met in my life.
00:34:55Come on. Ben, you need a job.
00:34:58I do, I do. Uh, there's no denying it. But, uh, not this one.
00:35:03Ben, you need a job.
00:35:05Well, I don't know if this is gonna lead to anything, Brian, but, uh, forward I go, right?
00:35:10Anyway, buddy, let me call you back, all right? Hope.
00:35:13Hey.
00:35:14Hey.
00:35:16So, what are you out shopping?
00:35:17Yeah. Yeah, actually, I need a dress. A friend of mine from college is getting married.
00:35:22It's one of those destination weddings.
00:35:24Oh, cool. Sounds so fun.
00:35:26Um, I was just about to get a cup of coffee. Do you have any time?
00:35:31Yeah.
00:35:35Lead on.
00:35:39So, what about you? You just out for an afternoon stroll today?
00:35:45Yeah. No, I'm coming from a job interview.
00:35:49Oh, changing jobs. That's nice.
00:35:51Yeah. Wasn't my choice, but...
00:35:54Oh. Well, then, I'm sorry.
00:35:58Oh, I'll be okay.
00:36:00Hey, at the very least, it gives me more time to spend with my kids.
00:36:04And, you know, I meant to tell you, Dylan is such a sweet boy, and he's... he's just adorable.
00:36:11It's... it's unusual to find a boy his age who's as empathetic as he is.
00:36:15Too sensitive?
00:36:16No, no, not too sensitive. Besides, that wouldn't be a bad thing.
00:36:21I don't know. It can make childhood a lot tougher. Trust me, I know.
00:36:26Really? You don't strike me as someone who used to be overly sensitive?
00:36:31Oh, I wasn't always this hardened, over-the-hill, out-of-work single parent that you see.
00:36:38How about you? Are you involved with anyone?
00:36:43Yes, I am. I'm seeing several cute boys.
00:36:50They're all a little bit young for me, but about eight years old.
00:36:57You're pretty funny.
00:37:02Dad, seriously, what's the holdup?
00:37:04Yeah, I'm hungry.
00:37:06I've been taking you, like, forever.
00:37:08Hang on to yourself, guys. You cannot rush perfection.
00:37:18Oh, no.
00:37:20Oh, oh.
00:37:21Oh, oh.
00:37:22Oh, oh.
00:37:23Oh, oh.
00:37:24Oh, oh.
00:37:25Oh, oh.
00:37:26Oh, oh.
00:37:27Oh, oh.
00:37:28Oh, oh.
00:37:29Oh, oh.
00:37:31Oh.
00:37:37Sorry.
00:37:38Dad, I think we should eat outside tonight.
00:37:42Uh, yeah. Probably a good idea.
00:37:45We will dine on my specialty, burnt chicken al fresco.
00:37:51Let's do it.
00:38:01Dad, I can't even get down this chicken. It's so dry.
00:38:05Put some potatoes on it. It moistens it up a little bit.
00:38:10Dad, this is not mashed potatoes.
00:38:13Mom always put yogurt or butter in it.
00:38:19Share with you this.
00:38:21Oh.
00:38:26Oh.
00:38:28Nice.
00:38:31Oh.
00:38:48Wow.
00:39:00Dad, do you think all models have had their work done?
00:39:05What are you reading?
00:39:07The girls in that magazine are too young to have their work done, buddy.
00:39:12You will never have to worry about that, though, buddy. You're just too beautiful.
00:39:16Hello?
00:39:20Yes, it is.
00:39:23What?
00:39:31Come on over here, buddy. I need to talk to you.
00:39:40You know who that was on the phone?
00:39:43No.
00:39:44Your coach.
00:39:46Why would you quit the team without talking to me about it first?
00:39:49I didn't think you'd care.
00:39:52You didn't think I'd care?
00:39:54How often have I told you how important sports are?
00:39:57You make friends, you learn about teamwork, you learn how to compete.
00:40:01Well, you never came to any of my games.
00:40:05Buddy, I'm sorry. I had to work.
00:40:11But that's all changed now. I'm going to be at every game, buddy. I promise you.
00:40:16It doesn't matter. I'm not going back.
00:40:21Why?
00:40:22I'm not very good.
00:40:26What are you talking about? You're fast on your feet. You've got a great glove on you.
00:40:31You strike out every time, Dad. All the other kids tease me.
00:40:40Go upstairs right now and get your helmet, get your glove.
00:40:43I'm going to grab the bat and the ball and meet me in the yard, okay?
00:40:46We've got some work to do. Okay?
00:40:53Now get ready, pal. I'm warning you, though.
00:40:56Your old man used to have a heck of an arm on him.
00:41:01Dad, you almost hit me.
00:41:04Sorry. I might be a little rusty.
00:41:14Can I go play video games?
00:41:16No. I've got a better idea.
00:41:19I've got a better idea. Come on.
00:41:22Come on. We'll deal with the window later. Lose the hat. Let's go. Come on.
00:41:27Nice try.
00:41:28What kind of pitches do you think this contraption throws?
00:41:31All it needs to throw is a fastball.
00:41:34Okay. Hitting is only one facet of the game, buddy.
00:41:37Fielding and playing smarter equally is important.
00:41:39All right, buddy. Keep your eye on it.
00:41:41Stay loose.
00:41:44Come on. Nice try.
00:41:45Choke up on it.
00:41:46Choke up on it, buddy. Look at this here.
00:41:48Bring your hands up. There you go.
00:41:51There you go.
00:41:53Oh! Nice try.
00:41:56Oh!
00:41:57I stink.
00:41:58You don't stink, pal. You're stepping into the bucket.
00:42:00What bucket?
00:42:02The bucket. You're stepping away from the ball.
00:42:04When you swing, you step over here, right?
00:42:06What I need you to do is step into the ball, okay?
00:42:09Okay.
00:42:10See, when you step that way, you lose all your power,
00:42:12and you're not going to be able to hit an outside pitch.
00:42:14I don't want to get hit.
00:42:15You're not going to get hit.
00:42:16But, hey, if you do get hit, it's as good as a single.
00:42:19All right. Come on. Better, better, better.
00:42:21All right, buddy. Keep your eye on it.
00:42:23Good footwork. That's the idea.
00:42:25This thing's got an automatic feeder on it, too, buddy,
00:42:27so you can practice when your dad's not around.
00:42:29Work on the consistency of your swing.
00:42:33Let's do it.
00:42:35Nice one!
00:42:36Oh, hey, Dad?
00:42:38Mm-hmm?
00:42:39I have a problem.
00:42:41What?
00:42:44I'm going to let your dad in now, okay?
00:42:46Okay.
00:42:47Okay.
00:42:51Mr. Westman, you can come in now.
00:43:01Everything all right?
00:43:03Well, the thing is, Lindsay is coming of age,
00:43:07and I think she needs a bra.
00:43:10This is so embarrassing.
00:43:12Um, I told him that this was completely unnecessary,
00:43:16but, you know...
00:43:18I just wanted to make sure everything was, you know,
00:43:21doing what it's supposed to do, so...
00:43:24Well, she had her physical four months ago.
00:43:26Everything was perfect. She looks fine.
00:43:28Lindsay, would you mind waiting outside just for a couple minutes?
00:43:32Not at all.
00:43:33I want to talk to your father alone.
00:43:35Okay.
00:43:41You want my professional opinion?
00:43:45Yes.
00:43:47Her daughter is turning into a wonderful young woman.
00:43:50Take her to a mall, and the salesperson will help her.
00:43:56Okay.
00:43:58Now, you want my opinion as a mother?
00:44:03This doesn't get any easier.
00:44:06But you're doing a heck of a job.
00:44:10Well, thanks, Doc.
00:44:11You're welcome.
00:44:14And here's your small drink.
00:44:18Hot chocolate.
00:44:19Thanks, Doc.
00:44:20And a second one.
00:44:22Very good.
00:44:24Want some change?
00:44:25Keep the change.
00:44:26Oh, thanks so much.
00:44:32Hey, uh, this is a few years off, okay?
00:44:36Come on.
00:44:37Hey, Ben.
00:44:39Oh, hey.
00:44:40Thanks for coming.
00:44:41Sure.
00:44:42Um, I have to say, when you called to ask me for a favor,
00:44:45I thought it might be more along the lines of tutoring, but...
00:44:49Well, you know, kind of is, I guess.
00:44:51Hi, Lindsay.
00:44:52Hi, Miss Jensen.
00:44:54You know, my brother's really lucky to have you as a teacher,
00:44:56because in third grade, I had Miss Dan.
00:44:59Yeah, she's a witch.
00:45:01Lindsay?
00:45:02She was.
00:45:03That's okay.
00:45:04Um, you know, between the three of us,
00:45:07that might be the nicest thing that anybody's ever said about her.
00:45:11Oh.
00:45:15Well, as you know, I need a bra, so...
00:45:19My dad just can't handle it.
00:45:21Oh, that's okay, Dad.
00:45:23I think that, um, we'll take care of her.
00:45:26Definitely.
00:45:27Thanks.
00:45:28You ready?
00:45:29Yes.
00:45:30Love you, Dad.
00:45:31Love you, too, buddy.
00:45:35Wait, wait.
00:45:36Dad?
00:45:38I need your credit card.
00:45:41Maybe another 20 minutes or so.
00:45:43I'll call you when I'm leaving.
00:45:44And by the way, she likes you.
00:45:49No, she doesn't.
00:45:50She does.
00:45:51She was playing with her hair the whole time she was talking to you.
00:45:54She loves you.
00:45:56Where do you get your information?
00:45:58Magazines.
00:46:05Come on!
00:46:07Come on!
00:46:08Come on!
00:46:18Come on, kid!
00:46:22Hawthorne!
00:46:23Take a bank.
00:46:24He's gonna walk everybody.
00:46:26Load up the bases.
00:46:35Okay!
00:46:43Go, go, go!
00:46:49Come on!
00:46:51What are you talking about?
00:46:52When we were in Little League, you couldn't hit worth a lick.
00:46:55I was an on-base specialist.
00:46:56Yeah.
00:46:57On-base specialist.
00:47:01You were like a sponge at shore, I'll give you that.
00:47:03Nothing could get by you.
00:47:04Hey, I knew enough to tell Dillon not to step in the bucket.
00:47:07Okay.
00:47:08And now we've solved that problem.
00:47:09He struck out three times tonight.
00:47:11He's having an off day.
00:47:12It could happen to anybody.
00:47:23Come on, buddy!
00:47:26Go!
00:47:31Go!
00:47:33Hey, remember, don't step into the bucket, bud.
00:48:01Time out!
00:48:02Time out!
00:48:21Hey, you okay?
00:48:22No.
00:48:24I didn't step in the bucket, Dad.
00:48:26You didn't, buddy.
00:48:27Here you go.
00:48:29Cool.
00:48:30And it's as good as a hit.
00:48:32Let's go.
00:48:35Not only that, pal, but you scored the winning run.
00:48:39Give me five.
00:48:49Hold on.
00:48:50Run!
00:48:52There you go.
00:48:59Yeah!
00:49:06Right here!
00:49:08I didn't say the ninth.
00:49:09I said the 18th.
00:49:10I know when my son's birthday is.
00:49:12I've been planning this for months.
00:49:13Now, listen to me.
00:49:14Hello?
00:49:23Dillon!
00:49:24Dillon!
00:49:26Bud.
00:49:27What, Dad?
00:49:28I got some bad news.
00:49:30The magician's not coming.
00:49:31We can't make it.
00:49:32That's okay, Dad.
00:49:33I didn't really want the magician anyways.
00:49:41Come on, Dillon!
00:49:45All right.
00:49:58Sorry, Mr. Westman.
00:49:59Buddy, don't worry about it.
00:50:00Have fun.
00:50:01Watch the run and don't hurt anybody.
00:50:03Careful running.
00:50:06It's about time.
00:50:20And around and around and around and around and around.
00:50:23All right, Jake.
00:50:25Go ahead.
00:50:27Oh!
00:50:29Woo!
00:50:30Oh!
00:50:32Oh!
00:50:33Oh!
00:50:35Oh!
00:50:38Happy birthday, Dillon.
00:50:40Bye.
00:50:42One, two, three!
00:50:46Happy birthday, Dillon!
00:50:58Yeah!
00:51:07You did this, didn't you?
00:51:13Who wants cake?
00:51:14Yeah!
00:51:24Hey, how about the magician?
00:51:25That was a heck of a disappearing act, huh?
00:51:31You have fun?
00:51:33It was great, Dad.
00:51:34Thanks.
00:51:35Yeah?
00:51:39What's going on, buddy?
00:51:41Nothing.
00:51:43Come on.
00:51:45You can tell me.
00:51:49It's hard sometimes, Dad.
00:51:51What is?
00:51:52I miss Mom.
00:51:56I know you do.
00:51:57So do I.
00:52:00But you know what?
00:52:02This is the time you need to dig deep into your faith.
00:52:06I pray.
00:52:10Will Mom hear me?
00:52:11Oh, yeah.
00:52:14Your Mom is watching over you all the time, Bill.
00:52:17Don't ever forget that.
00:52:21You know what?
00:52:22I'm a little thirsty.
00:52:23What do you say I give you a piggyback into the kitchen
00:52:25and we get a couple cold drinks?
00:52:26Yeah.
00:52:27Come back out of here and finish up, all right?
00:52:54It's plastic to my chin
00:52:57It's a bit embarrassing but
00:53:00It's a sunny day
00:53:02Now we're together
00:53:04Chase my blues away
00:53:06Changing the weather
00:53:08You belong to me
00:53:11And I belong to you
00:53:16Don't want to sound so saccharine
00:53:24But I can't wait to see you again
00:53:30And dare I say
00:53:32I can't get my guy. Come on, dude.
00:53:34I love you more
00:53:35What's in there?
00:53:36Years of experience, Dad. Years of experience.
00:53:39Oh, amen.
00:53:40It's a sunny day
00:53:43Chase my blues away
00:53:45How do you play this game?
00:53:47Dad, no, you aren't getting up.
00:53:49You belong to me
00:53:51I belong to you
00:53:57You guys have a good day?
00:53:58Yeah.
00:54:01I believe
00:54:03That anything
00:54:07Is possible
00:54:10Now I'm in love with you
00:54:15I do
00:54:23I'm not the type to cut you smooth
00:54:38But lately I've changed my tune
00:54:44This lovey grin
00:54:46It's plastic to my chin
00:54:51It's a bit embarrassing
00:54:53But here I go again
00:54:55It's a sunny day
00:54:57Now we're together
00:54:59Chase my blues away
00:55:01Changing the weather
00:55:03You belong to me
00:55:06And I belong to you
00:55:12Well, it's been a while since we spoke
00:55:14And he said he would call as soon as he spoke to the partners.
00:55:16Excuse me.
00:55:17Dylan, turn it down!
00:55:21No, please.
00:55:22Please just tell Robert that I called.
00:55:24Uh-huh.
00:55:27I hate her!
00:55:30All right.
00:55:31Thank you. Thank you very much.
00:55:33Goodbye.
00:55:37What?
00:55:41Hey, baby, what's wrong?
00:55:42I hate Ashley.
00:55:44I hate her!
00:55:46I thought Ashley was your best friend.
00:55:48Would your best friend tell Brandon that you like Robbie
00:55:51just because she liked him too
00:55:53and refuse to admit it because you said you liked him first?
00:55:59So you and Ashley like the same boy?
00:56:01Yes, Dad!
00:56:03God, you just don't get it!
00:56:13Hey, your brother and I are about to start making cupcakes
00:56:16for the bake sale downstairs if you want to join us.
00:56:18Go away, Dad!
00:56:20Just go away!
00:56:24God!
00:56:27Go away!
00:56:33Good job, pal.
00:56:35Keep working. We've got a lot of them.
00:56:37More to come.
00:56:39Oh, hey, look at these. These are good.
00:56:41These are done.
00:56:42Look at that.
00:56:44Well, look who came.
00:56:47Of course, after all the heavy lifting's been done.
00:56:50As always.
00:56:52Brother and I did the hard work.
00:56:55But Alicia came, and you'll finish with us.
00:56:58Okay, Lindsay, you can decorate this half.
00:57:02Just make sure it's uniform, you know what I mean?
00:57:05Because we want to have two batches.
00:57:07Okey-doke. Oh, Dylan, how would you like me to decorate them?
00:57:11Well, you know, it doesn't really matter.
00:57:13You can do whatever you want, it's just...
00:57:15I was thinking, like, maybe a higher price in the middle?
00:57:18That's a good idea.
00:57:20I like it.
00:57:22You know what we ought to do, guys, is come up with a name.
00:57:25Some kind of a hook to sell these things at the bake sale.
00:57:29Well, what do I always say?
00:57:31You don't sell the stink...
00:57:33You sell the sizzle.
00:57:36I know. You were actually listening.
00:57:38I always do. Most of the time.
00:57:40All right. Jet cracking.
00:57:46Seven children sent to the emergency room.
00:57:48Thank God they are all going to be all right.
00:57:50But I have had so many parents calling me
00:57:52that I had to pull Miss Arbison from her cafeteria duty
00:57:55just to man the phones.
00:57:57I'm sorry.
00:57:59I guess it never occurred to me that anybody would be allergic to walnuts.
00:58:03Mr. Westman, in the Grant Charter School handbook,
00:58:06it clearly states that any product intended for consumption by the student body
00:58:11must disclose all of its contents.
00:58:14Now, not only did you fail to do that,
00:58:16but you also knowingly misrepresented the nature of the item
00:58:20in order to entice the children to purchase it.
00:58:25I'm sorry. What can I do?
00:58:27I think you've done enough.
00:58:29But now that the victims are resting comfortably,
00:58:33I think that we would all be well served
00:58:35if you would make it your business to limit your involvement
00:58:39here at the school until the end of the school year.
00:58:42Do we have an understanding?
00:58:45Fine. Because I think I have said all that I care to on this subject.
00:58:50Hope, would you be kind enough to escort Mr. Westman out of the building?
00:58:56I was just trying to keep it interesting.
00:58:58Interesting. If you call anaphylactic shock interesting,
00:59:02then I'd say mission accomplished.
00:59:07Okay, you owe me big time for that one because she was going to call the police on me.
00:59:13And then I told her that, you know, it was all a misunderstanding.
00:59:17I do owe you.
00:59:20So why don't I buy you dinner sometime?
00:59:24Well, I thought you'd never ask.
00:59:29Really?
00:59:30Well, I mean, I thought I was going to have to send up smoke signals or something.
00:59:35Might be a little off in the game.
00:59:38I can tell.
00:59:40So, Saturday? Eight o'clock? School cafeteria, maybe?
00:59:45I hear that soft-brew steak here is pretty good.
00:59:47It's amazing.
00:59:49I know.
00:59:51Because I happen to have a couple of leftover banana nut cupcakes
00:59:55that, you know, maybe I could slide them in there.
00:59:59Just didn't go to waste.
01:00:01So, Saturday at eight. Is that good?
01:00:04That works for me.
01:00:06Okay.
01:00:10Okay, it's a deal.
01:00:12It's a plan.
01:00:16Okay.
01:00:17Okay, well, I'll see you.
01:00:23Okay.
01:00:24Come over here.
01:00:26Be there Saturday.
01:00:38Hello?
01:00:48Hey, bud.
01:00:50Where's your sister?
01:00:51She's upstairs.
01:00:52She's upstairs.
01:00:53Choke up, and don't forget to step into the ball.
01:01:07You're awesome.
01:01:12Who are you?
01:01:14I thought you said your dad wasn't to be home for a while.
01:01:17He wasn't.
01:01:19Dad, this is Brandon.
01:01:23How'd you get over here, Brandon?
01:01:25I, uh, I rode my bike.
01:01:28Get back on your bike and go home, kid.
01:01:33Dad!
01:01:34Who do you think you are kicking Brandon out like that?
01:01:37Did I tell you you could have a boy over here?
01:01:39But why can't I?
01:01:41He's just a friend.
01:01:45How old is he?
01:01:46He's thirteen.
01:01:47Thirteen is too old for you.
01:01:49I don't want you seeing him again.
01:01:51I don't want boys here when I'm not home.
01:01:53Okay?
01:01:56I wish Mom was here.
01:02:13You're late.
01:02:14You think you had a hot date?
01:02:17You're not wearing a tie, right?
01:02:19It's better to be overdressed than underdressed.
01:02:21No, it's better to be dressed like you're going on a date.
01:02:23I'm not out selling insurance.
01:02:26There she is.
01:02:27My least favorite niece.
01:02:29My least favorite uncle.
01:02:31Big D.
01:02:32How you doing?
01:02:33Hey, Uncle Brian.
01:02:34Hey, I told the guys you'd order pizza for dinner.
01:02:36Yeah, don't worry about us, alright guys?
01:02:40Brian, I don't want to find the house the way I did the last time you babysat.
01:02:43Just get out of here, alright?
01:02:45As far as children go, you're the biggest one in this room.
01:02:49Don't wear that tie.
01:02:50You're not eating.
01:02:51Alright, let's get this work done so we can start having fun.
01:02:54Please.
01:03:04You beat me to the punch.
01:03:05Well, I didn't want you to have to walk all the way up.
01:03:09You're beautiful.
01:03:10Oh, thank you.
01:03:12You look great.
01:03:14Oh, thanks.
01:03:16Let's go?
01:03:17Yeah.
01:03:18Okay.
01:03:27Oh, yeah.
01:03:28I forgot.
01:03:29Oh, delicious.
01:03:32So how could somebody as beautiful as you, I hope, be available?
01:03:37There's something wrong.
01:03:41No.
01:03:43Just, you know, I have been involved with other people.
01:03:48I bet you have.
01:03:49It's just that, you know, nothing ever worked out.
01:03:56So what sign are you?
01:03:59Aquarius.
01:04:00My luck.
01:04:02I think that that means we would have a very passionate relationship.
01:04:12Yeah.
01:04:43Dad.
01:04:44Can we talk?
01:04:45Yeah, sure, buddy.
01:04:46What's up?
01:04:50Do you still love Mom?
01:04:53Buddy, I will always love Mom.
01:04:55But you like Ms. Jensen, right?
01:04:57Lindsay, your mother was the love of my life, and no one will ever change that, okay?
01:05:01I know.
01:05:03I love you.
01:05:04I love you.
01:05:05I love you.
01:05:06I love you.
01:05:07I love you.
01:05:08I love you.
01:05:09I love you.
01:05:10Okay?
01:05:11I know.
01:05:12But don't you want to love again?
01:05:15Ms. Jensen's very beautiful.
01:05:17Yes, she is, pal.
01:05:19But your mother can never be replaced.
01:05:22You should know that, okay?
01:05:24Well, then you should invite her over to dinner.
01:05:26I don't know, Lindsay.
01:05:28I mean, we could do a barbecue pit, and we could sit around the fire, and we could do marshmallows.
01:05:35All right.
01:05:37I'll ask her.
01:05:38Good.
01:05:40I love you, Dad.
01:05:41I love you, too, buddy.
01:05:57I really appreciate you taking the time, Mr. Stone.
01:06:00Oh, please.
01:06:01Listen, if you're half the ad man your resume indicates, almost two decades at Stuart North, I should be thanking you.
01:06:07How long have you known my brother, Brian?
01:06:09God, we go back years now, I think.
01:06:12All the way to the merger.
01:06:14The Schaefer-Till merger.
01:06:15I remember it well.
01:06:17It was one of the few mergers at that time when everybody was getting together that seemed to make sense.
01:06:21It had a strategic reason.
01:06:23Good for you guys.
01:06:24You're smart, Ben.
01:06:27Can I be straight with you, no BS?
01:06:30Please.
01:06:33I need a grown-up.
01:06:35I know it's a kid's business these days.
01:06:37I'm not blind.
01:06:39And they do a good job, God bless them.
01:06:41I got grandkids now.
01:06:43And I like fishing too much.
01:06:46I don't have the time and energy to fly all over the countryside in their deals.
01:06:50Just because some 25-year-old knows what that HMLT nonsense is doesn't mean he can tie up a contract.
01:06:59You understand what I'm getting at?
01:07:00Oh, I think so.
01:07:05I like the looks of this.
01:07:10Thanks.
01:07:18Guys?
01:07:20Pizza!
01:07:30Hey, buddy, where's your sister?
01:07:33I don't know.
01:07:35Come on in, we're having pizza.
01:07:40I haven't seen her.
01:07:47Lindsey!
01:08:06Dylan.
01:08:08Dylan, you have no idea where your sister is.
01:08:11Well, she was with that boy.
01:08:13And then she asked me if it'd be okay if she left me alone for a little while.
01:08:17Now I was practicing baseball, so I didn't really care.
01:08:19Buddy, grab your pizza. You can eat the rest in the car, okay? We gotta go.
01:08:23I'm gonna find your sister.
01:08:35They're really good.
01:08:36Yeah.
01:08:37So, do you play basketball?
01:08:38Yeah.
01:08:40I don't see her anywhere.
01:08:41Where else do you guys hang out?
01:08:43I don't hang out anywhere.
01:08:44Well, that boy only has a bicycle, right? I mean, it's not like he had a car, so they can't be that far.
01:08:49Yeah, I think so.
01:08:52There!
01:09:06Come on!
01:09:16This was the absolute height of irresponsibility.
01:09:20Lindsey, you left your brother alone in the house at night?
01:09:23While you went off to the park with a kid I forbade you from seeing?
01:09:27I'm not Dylan's babysitter!
01:09:30So stop treating me like one!
01:09:33I have my own life!
01:09:34Oh, yeah? Well, not when it endangers your life and your little brother's.
01:09:38If I would have told you, you never would have let me go.
01:09:41You're grounded until further notice.
01:09:53Upstairs, to bed.
01:09:56Whatever.
01:09:58You two, go.
01:10:00Can I have dessert?
01:10:02No.
01:10:03But the school nurse says I'm only in the 30th percentile for my height.
01:10:10Go upstairs and brush your teeth, pal. I'll be up to tuck you in in a minute, okay?
01:10:15Jeez.
01:10:31I should have told you where I was going.
01:10:38You scared me half to death.
01:10:41I shouldn't have left him alone.
01:10:45I'm sorry, Dad.
01:10:46Come here.
01:10:52I'm sorry.
01:10:54I love you.
01:11:11Hello?
01:11:14Buddy, this will definitely take you out of the 30th percentile.
01:11:18Definitely.
01:11:20Hello?
01:11:21Ben!
01:11:22Ron Stoughton.
01:11:24Sorry to call you so late, but I wanted to give you the good news.
01:11:27You got the job!
01:11:30I cannot thank you enough, Ron.
01:11:33We know you'll be a great fit.
01:11:35Hey, listen, something we didn't get to talk about in the interview.
01:11:38Your job is in Cleveland.
01:11:41Oh.
01:11:57Look, I swear, he never mentioned Cleveland.
01:12:01If he had, don't you think I would have at least brought it up?
01:12:04Well, now you've got a problem.
01:12:06What's the problem?
01:12:08This job is a fantastic opportunity.
01:12:11Yeah, for me it is.
01:12:12But what am I going to say to them?
01:12:15It's been less than a year since Sarah died, Bri.
01:12:18We're going to move to the city?
01:12:21And things are supposed to be getting more stable, not less.
01:12:23Come on, kids are resilient.
01:12:25They'll make new friends in no time.
01:12:28Besides, you know, in a couple of months, it'll be like they've lived there forever.
01:12:33Cleveland has its upsides.
01:12:36Snow?
01:12:38Hey, we're moving to Cleveland for the snow.
01:12:40What'd you tell Ron?
01:12:42I told him I was excited, it was a terrific opportunity.
01:12:46I told him I had to think about it, though.
01:12:51Ben.
01:12:53I know this is a tough decision, and I know you have to consider the kids' feelings, but...
01:13:00You've got to get back to what you do.
01:13:02You know, you can't let this go too long.
01:13:05How long till you have to make up your mind?
01:13:09I think I already have.
01:13:20Almost forgot.
01:13:21You can't have breakfast without bacon.
01:13:23Oh, but I don't eat bacon.
01:13:25Oh yeah? Since when?
01:13:27Since I became a vegetarian.
01:13:30And when was that?
01:13:31Yesterday.
01:13:33Oh.
01:13:34Okay.
01:13:36More for me and you, then.
01:13:39Oh yeah.
01:13:40How can you even eat that stuff, though?
01:13:44Listen.
01:13:46I got some news.
01:13:49I got a job.
01:13:51That's great.
01:13:52Congratulations, Dad.
01:13:54Thanks.
01:13:55It's in Cleveland.
01:13:58And are we gonna have to move there?
01:14:01Yeah.
01:14:05And you just decided this.
01:14:07Without us.
01:14:09But I don't want to go to Cleveland.
01:14:13I didn't say it wasn't a difficult decision.
01:14:15But we won't have any friends there.
01:14:19You'll make new friends, pal.
01:14:20No, we won't.
01:14:22They always hate the new kid.
01:14:24You guys will make friends.
01:14:26Besides, all you've been doing is complaining about the friends you have here for the last month.
01:14:30This will give us a fresh start.
01:14:33What's so special about Cleveland, anyways?
01:14:36They were really excited to have me.
01:14:39I'm not gonna be carrying such a heavy load like I was at this last job,
01:14:42so I'm gonna have more time to spend with you guys.
01:14:45Yeah, but you could lose your job in Cleveland, too.
01:14:51Yes, I could.
01:14:54But I won't, baby.
01:14:58We're going to Cleveland.
01:15:00Can I go stay with Uncle Brian?
01:15:02You're always saying that if anything happened to you, Dylan and I could go stay with Uncle Brian.
01:15:07Nothing's happened to me.
01:15:09And Uncle Brian is a single man and he's single for a reason, trust me.
01:15:14You'll thank me for this later.
01:15:16We're going to Cleveland.
01:15:23I'm not.
01:15:30Does this mean I'm gonna have to become a Cavaliers fan?
01:15:36Darn, I liked Kobe.
01:15:40Yeah, LeBron is better.
01:15:42Nah, just digging.
01:15:50Would you like to have a dog?
01:15:51I had one in my past life.
01:15:54Hey, how are you?
01:15:56Good, good.
01:15:57Good.
01:16:06What's wrong?
01:16:08Nothing.
01:16:10I just wish that you weren't leaving, that's all.
01:16:16I've really enjoyed these little impromptu meetings we've had.
01:16:28Hey, you have been instrumental in partially molding one of my children.
01:16:37How about giving me a little help with the other one?
01:16:42Well, she is a 12-year-old girl, so everything, even things that are inconsequential, are going to seem like the end of the world to her.
01:16:54Tell me about it.
01:16:56So what do I do, ignore it, or...?
01:16:58No, just keep doing what you've been doing.
01:17:02Just be there for her, listen, let her know that she can come to you with anything.
01:17:11She's a teenage girl, so, you know, they're the most mysterious creatures on the planet.
01:17:18The grown-up ones are much better.
01:17:20Well, most of us turn out okay.
01:17:23You did.
01:17:32What should I do?
01:17:36Ben, you know, I can't tell you what to do.
01:17:40You have to make the best decision for you and for your family.
01:17:44Besides, I might have ulterior motives.
01:17:51I like having Dylan in my class.
01:17:56Hey, the guys have asked me to invite you over to the house for a barbecue before we leave.
01:18:04Okay.
01:18:35Mmm, this is the best chicken that I've ever had.
01:18:40My dad's the greatest barbecuer in the world.
01:18:42Mm-hmm.
01:18:43Thanks, pal.
01:18:44But I made the salad. Would you like some more?
01:18:47Yes, I would love some more salad.
01:18:49Okay.
01:18:50Thank you, Lindsay.
01:18:51You're welcome.
01:18:55So, Dylan, how's baseball coming?
01:18:58All right, I guess.
01:19:00All right, I guess.
01:19:02Oh, he's getting better all the time. We're working on it.
01:19:05My mom used to come to every game, but my dad could never come because he was always working.
01:19:12I'm not going to miss any more games, though. I'm going to be at all of them.
01:19:17Mm-hmm, because I'm going to get a new team, though. Right, Dad?
01:19:20That's right.
01:19:27Dad, would you like some more salad?
01:19:29Yes, please.
01:19:40So, um, thank you for having me for dinner.
01:19:43Thank you for coming.
01:19:48I guess this is goodbye.
01:19:49Yeah, I guess it is.
01:19:54I kind of wish I wasn't going now.
01:19:57Do you think that... I mean...
01:20:01Do I think what?
01:20:05Do you think if I stayed, if I... if I didn't go, that, uh, we might...
01:20:17Ben, yes, I do.
01:20:27I better go.
01:20:30Bye.
01:20:33Bye.
01:20:34Bye, Hope.
01:20:35Bye.
01:20:56Bye.
01:21:13Hey, Daddy.
01:21:14Hey. What's gotten into you?
01:21:17Well, Ashley and I made up.
01:21:19Oh.
01:21:20Yeah, we're all BFF again, so...
01:21:23Where are you going?
01:21:24I'm going to her house, but I'll be back before dinner, though.
01:21:27Love you, Daddy.
01:21:28Love you, too. See you, pal.
01:21:55Beep. Beep.
01:22:00Yeah, hi. Is Ron Stone there, please?
01:22:02Hi.
01:22:23Ben?
01:22:24You were right. The kids would have adjusted to Cleveland.
01:22:29They would have?
