Mary Anne, I'm...
I'm running out of patience here.
You said to sit tight until you check out their story.
Look, be grateful Myra's mother is letting us look into this
before she files charges.
Grateful?
The whole thing is made up. The whole thing is a lie.
Well, Charlie, that's why you might wanna hear what she has to offer.
She's offering something.
She says she won't file charges,
she'll let the whole thing go away,
if you'll resign from your job.
You've gotta be kidding me.
Resign?
Mary Anne, I didn't do this.
I don't doubt that.
But I gotta face reality here.
An offer like this spares everyone, you and the school,
tremendous expense and heartache.
You're saying I should do this?
The school can offer a severance package,
something affording you time to look for other work--
Mary Anne, stop.
There is no way.
No way.
It's like saying that I'm guilty.
Listen to me.
No one else knows these charges exist.
So to everyone else, it's like saying this never happened.
Which it didn't. I mean...
[chuckles]
Doesn't that matter at all? This never happened.
You don't understand.
If this gets out, if these charges go on record, it happened.
What?
Charlie, in the eyes of the parents, lots of them,
you'll be guilty.
No matter what verdict there is,
that's the way these things work.

Good morning.
Who are you? What are you doing here?
Well, technically I live here.
What's your excuse?
Oh, God, of course, you're, uh...
Evan's son.
Brian, right?
You go to UC Santa Cruz?
And you're...
wearing his shirt.
I'm Julia Salinger. Did he not tell you I was...
'Cause he didn't tell me that you were...
He didn't know I was coming.
Which is probably why he never mentioned you.
"Untitled memoir by Julia Salinger."
So how did you fill up all these pages?
You're like my age, right?
It's, um, it's a long story.
Hey, good morning.
Hi, um...
Hey, Dad.
Brian.
Hey.
So you got out for Thanksgiving after all, huh?
Sort of. I dropped out.
Really? When did this happen?
Yesterday, actually.
Mm-hmm, any idea when the deadline for the tuition refund passes?
I think it was last week.
Why?
Because it's all about the money, Dad?
Well, that seems to be what you're making it.
Three schools, three years' tuition, how many credits? Zero.
God, that's really all you care about, isn't it?
Brian,
I am not the one destroying my college career out of spite.
You know what?
I don't know why I'm here.
You're obviously too busy sleeping with other people's kids
to care about your own.
[door closes]
Hey, you wanna take a look at this Thanksgiving menu
before it goes to the printer?
Thanksgiving menu?
Since when are we open for Thanksgiving?
Well, since I've got nothing better to do,
and since our numbers are trending down a little lately.
Joe, our numbers are fine,
and besides, you have plans for Thanksgiving already.
You're coming to our house.
Oh, yeah? You gonna do The Big Salinger Thanksgiving Feast?
Well, I don't know how big...
I'm sorry, miss. We're not quite open yet.
That's okay, I'm here to talk to the owner.
Oh, okay. Excuse me.
You haven't returned my calls.
Tracy, come on. We've talked about this.
You're married.
Yeah, I know, 'cause you tell me that every five seconds.
Well, what am I supposed to--
Bailey, you care more about my marriage
than, well, the two people in it.
You and I, we have a good time together.
I just keep thinking that if my marriage doesn't bother me,
why does it bother you?
Because there's a guy out there who would be bothered,
who thinks you're being faithful.
Franklin couldn't care less. His...
His secretary called me yesterday to tell me
that he's spending Thanksgiving in London, working.
Well, I'm sorry.
No. It's just the way it works.
He gets to go to England with his secretary,
and I get to have Thanksgiving all to myself,
which wouldn't bother me
if I had it with you.
Look, Tracy, I wish I could, okay? I do.
But I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Me, too.
[school bell rings]
Hey, Claudia.
I heard you were sick.
What?
Are you okay?
'Cause I was gonna call you, but I thought that...
I don't know, I thought that you'd probably still be, uh,
mad about the party.
Mad?
-Derek-- -Yeah, I guess I...
[chuckles]
I guess I had a few too many.
I got a little out of control, huh?
A little?
-You-- -Well, come on, we were just having fun.
Well, anyway, I...
I said I was sorry, okay?
Okay?
What? What else do you want me to say?
[school bell rings]
Look, I gotta...
Hey.
This job looks promising.
Mm-hmm.
[chuckles] Of course, that looks even more promising.
What?
"What?"
Oh, are you kidding? No way. That could never happen.
He's Julia's ex-husband, and I'm Charlie's ex-whatever I am.
I would just... It would be too weird.
It would be too perfect.
I know, but, okay.
There's this one minor detail.
He's completely not interested.
So make him interested.
Well, how am I supposed to do that?
Am I supposed to walk up to him,
and go like, "Oh, Griffin, oh."
[Griffin] Yeah?
How's it going?
Good.
[mouthing]
What?
Nothing.
Actually, I was just, um, leaving.
Week two of my pathetic job search continues,
and I actually have a job interview at Yogarama, so...
-Wait, Daphne. -Hmm?
How will you get there?
You know, with your car in the shop and everything?
What's wrong with your car?
-Nothing. -It won't start.
Uh, nothing a little maintenance won't fix.
Well, do you need a ride somewhere?
Uh...
Yes.
Thank you.
Okay, um...
All right, I'll tell you what.
I'll go get another helmet, and I'll meet you out front, all right?
Okay.
All right.
You are pure evil.
And you are welcome.
-Go. -[laughs]
It was called Golden Dragon or Golden Palace, something like that.
So I know this is completely none of my business,
but you wanna tell me what happened this morning with Brian?
Oh, don't worry about that. He'll be back.
He's just blowing off some steam.
[sighs] By dropping out of school?
Yeah, well, that's just a little game that we play.
You know, he claims to hate every school that I send him to.
Dartmouth, Grinnell. I guess he hated Santa Cruz, too.
You guess?
Yeah, well, Brian and I really don't talk.
He yells, acts out,
trying to get some sort of reaction.
Hmm.
Well, wouldn't it be cheaper just to react?
[chuckles]
Well, you don't think that I tried that?
I've yelled, I've cried.
I've done family therapy with him.
Yeah, maybe it's my fault. Maybe we had him too young.
I was 18 when he was born.
But it seems like everything that I say right now
is, is, is wrong somehow, you know.
So, uh, so I just... I end up doing nothing.
All right, so we've got Charlie,
Kirsten, Julia, Claud, Owen, Diana, you, me.
Well, remember when it was Salinger, party of five?
Will, you coming for Thanksgiving?
You mean, since my parents stopped speaking to me?
Where else am I gonna go?
All right, so we've got Will, Griffin, Daphne,
and if people bring dates...
Man, how many turkeys is that?
All right, so I'm taking off.
I told Owen to finish his math before cartoons.
-So I'll see you guys later. -See you.
Hey, Vic.
You got plans for Thanksgiving?
Oh, well, my family's kind of, um,
all over the map right now, so...
So great, you'll have dinner with us.
[Victor] Oh, wow, um...
Thanks, but it sounds like you guys have a pretty full house, so...
Come on, you can't be alone for Thanksgiving.
We'll have plenty. We'll do potluck.
Potluck? We're not doing potluck.
There's no shame in potluck.
-Really, guys-- -[Bailey] Joe.
We're not scraping bottom here, okay?
Business is a little off, but we don't need donations.
You know what? You don't have to.
Victor, you're joining us, okay?
It's no big deal, because it's no big deal.
Okay?
Okay.
You can't do that.
Look, I know. I know. I felt the same way.
You'd be saying that you're guilty.
You'd be saying that she's right.
Kirsten, calm down for a second and listen to this, okay?
It actually gives us some options.
You can't let her do this. Charlie.
Kirsten, listen.
[sighs] This severance money.
It means that I can add on hours at the factory,
and still get paid by the school.
I'd be making twice what I'm making right now, and we need that money.
-You know that. -I don't care about the money.
I hope the school didn't tell you to take this.
Please listen.
Look, we just did the IVF,
and the doctor said that any kind of stress is a bad idea, so--
Who the hell is this woman?
She should get on her knees and thank you.
-You were trying to help her daughter. -Stop.
-And then she goes and does this? -Do you hear me? Please stop.
This is the reason to take the deal. Right here.
Look how upset you are.
Look.
There's a very good chance that you're pregnant, Kirsten.
And...
for us to start some kind of war about all this, it...
We have way too much to lose.
Hey, you're up early.
I couldn't sleep.
Jule.
If I tell you something, will you...
Will you promise not to tell anyone?
Sure, Claud, of course. What's up?
It's just...
I went...
I went to this party last week.
Mmm-hmm.
At this guy, Derek's house, and...
He was really sweet, you know?
So we were talking, and at one point,
we go upstairs, just to talk,
except he doesn't wanna talk.
What?
So we're kissing,
and before I know it, he's...
He's got me on the bed,
and he's on top of me,
and I can't move my arms.
I can't move,
so I tell him no,
but before I know it, he's...
he's undoing my pants,
and I tell him no,
but he just keeps on until I have to...
I have to knee him, you know,
just to get him to stop.
Just to make him stop.
Because if I hadn't, he would have...
[crying] He would have...
[shushing]
It's okay.
It's gonna be okay.
How?
[exhales] Oh, God.
Well...
First of all, you're gonna have to report him,
to the school and to his parents.
What?
Claudia, you have to. This guy, he...
He assaulted you.
I'll come in with you if you want.
This is just why I didn't wanna tell anyone.
You're not the first person he's done this to, Claud,
and if you don't report him, I promise you, you won't be the last.
Could we just...
Could we not talk about this anymore?
Okay, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
[sighs]
Just promise me you'll talk to someone, okay?
God.
There he is, 20 minutes late.
I had to drop my wife off to work. We share the truck.
You can see how seriously he takes this.
There's supposed to be something for me to sign. Where is it?
Not quite ready yet.
What's going on?
I'm not happy with this, that's what.
-Sylvia-- -I want him to say that he's sorry,
and I want that on this piece of paper that he signs.
You want me to apologize?
You betcha.
Forget it.
Charlie, calm down.
No, no, she's the one.
I mean, look what she's doing. I'm losing my job here
because she doesn't wanna take responsibility for Myra's problems?
This from a man who takes advantage of children.
Oh, you know that is not true!
Why offer a deal if you think I'm guilty?
Because I don't want Myra to be in the same courtroom as you.
I'm protecting her from facing--
Protecting her?
Where have you been for the last ten years?
Where were you when Myra had to get drunk in some park
to get someone to pay attention to her?
Or to steal stuff from a drugstore?
Charlie, stop.
I don't have to take this from him.
[lawyer] Sylvia, please--
Mary Anne, this is my life here.
I think I can clarify this for everyone.
Charlie, just answer this question.
When was the first time you had concerns for Myra? Late October, right?
Yes, but I mean, what is that--
And you knew it wasn't your job to intervene.
You knew that you should have reported your concerns to Social Services.
Well, technically, yes, but--
Is it fair to say that you regret
not following proper procedure?
In some ways, I guess, but I--
How about language to that effect?
That he regrets his handling of this?
Will that work?
Mary Anne, what are you doing here?
Charlie, that's enough.
Is that gonna settle this?
I am so sorry, Claudia.
God, how can guys do that, you know?
They just get drunk and become these, like, totally other people,
and then we're supposed to just forgive them
and pretend like nothing happened?
Maybe we shouldn't.
Maybe we should tell somebody.
Oh, like who?
I don't know.
The school, or...
Or Derek's parents?
Wait.
Wait, you mean report him?
Seriously?
Come on.
If, if you report him, you're basically saying he tried to, you know...
Alexa, he did.
He got drunk, and he made a mistake,
which he admitted.
I mean, if you report this, you could, like, ruin his life.
What about my life here?
You're supposed to be my friend, too.
Why do you think I'm saying this?
I mean...
Do you really want the whole school debating if you're a tease or a slut?
I mean, I'm sorry,
but you didn't have sex, you didn't get hurt--
I told you what happened.
And I believe you,
but not everyone will.
[school bell rings]
So then the first thing I should tell you
about Thanksgiving at my house is,
don't ask Bailey about his cooking,
'cause once you get him started, he'll never stop--
Can you just explain one thing to me,
so I know, you know, who my audience is?
Who's the act for?
The act? I don't understand.
Julia, just ignore him.
What act are you talking about?
The happy family act. Who's it for?
Your brothers and sisters, or is it for you, too?
Is it for me?
-Look, can we just ignore this? -There is no act, Brian,
just dinner at my house,
which I really hope you're not planning on turning into this.
Julia, please, just let him...
Yeah? What would this be?
You know what? If you have something to say, why don't you say it?
'cause I'm really getting sick of the free-floating sarcasm thing.
Okay, why don't you take your pick?
You're half my dad's age.
You're telling me how to behave in my own house.
I didn't even know you existed until yesterday, and--
[door slams]
Did he just...
Look, I'm sorry if this isn't what you expected.
Brian?
Is that it? The agreement?
Mm-hmm.
So, what's next? I mean, when do they want you to leave?
I actually... I haven't signed it yet.
Oh.
Okay.
It's for the best, I guess, to get this over with, but...
Charlie?
Yeah?
Um, I went to the doctor today.
Is everything okay?
I was having some cramping, so...
It just felt kind of weird, so I went in and...
And Dr. Vasquez took some tests, and they came back.
It's called a low positive,
so I'm not...
Oh, Kirsten.
The thing is,
part of me wants to be angry, you know.
To blame that woman because of what she's doing to you.
But part of me wants to be happy, because...
Because I was actually pregnant, you know, Charlie?
I mean...
I mean, for...
[voice breaking] For a minute, I was actually pregnant.
Myra basically said that I abandoned her,
and Sylvia, the second I tried to help,
it was all about how I was, I was judging her.
I don't know. Maybe she was jealous of how Myra felt.
I don't know, and frankly, I don't care.
But for me to do nothing now,
to just stand by and take this,
I'm not gonna do that anymore.
Really?
Have you thought about that, Charlie?
I mean, you do this, and...
and everyone knows.
I mean, the entire school will be talking,
picking apart what you did.
I know. I know. It's gonna be hard.
And it's your school, too,
which is why I wanted to talk to you about it.
We have a lot to lose if I fight this, Claud, but...
I have to believe that it matters that I didn't do it.
I have to believe that the truth, that it matters somehow.
[music playing]
Thanks.
Wow.
Joe.
Hey, guys. Happy Thanksgiving.
It's like pilgrims broke in and redecorated.
[Joe laughs]
Oh.
What's all this?
What, you didn't do all this?
No. I thought we were just gonna--
So, what do you think, Bailey? Too much?
No, Joe, it's...
I can't believe you did all this.
Oh, no, I only did the menu.
I mean, all of this, this was Victor.
Can't help it. Holiday fetish. Sorry.
[chuckles]
-Hey. -Hey.
-That's Evan? -Mm-hmm.
[inaudible]
I haven't met him yet.
Actually, give him a minute.
He's working some stuff out with his son.
It was all we could do to get him to come.
His son?
His son.
Hey, remember how I told you in wrestling
we have ring girls?
Beautiful, strong, yet silent women,
who aren't shy about their bodies in any way?
Yes.
Two of them said they'd go out with me, Bay,
If I could find a fun guy to double with.
-Look, Will-- -Yeah, yeah, I know. You're not in the mood.
And frankly, a wet bag of laundry is more laughs than you.
But I feel this odd, inexplicable need to help you, so...
Thank you.
Thank you, but, really, ring girls?
What's wrong with ring girls?
I don't know.
What do we talk to them about?
Who cares? These are kind, gymnastic women.
Who we fool around with for one night, and then what?
And then what? We smile at the memory the rest of our lives.
I guess.
Look, I thought we agreed you were trying to act your age,
have some actual fun for a change, be spontaneous.
I know, I'm working on that, I am.
Moron, you can't work on being spontaneous,
or plan it, or put it on your list.
You actually have to just do it.
-Look, I-- -Do it.
For your sanity, Bay.
Okay, you've gotta get out of yourself.
I mean, not to harsh on you, man, but it's what Sarah did.
-But-- -Do it.
-I-- -Do it.
-Will-- -Do it.
-Hey. -Whoa.
-Oh. -I'm sorry. I didn't see you.
Yeah, you seem a little skittish there.
You know something? It's the holidays.
You definitely need to relax,
and I think I know just the thing.
What is it?
This here is a little something that I like to call,
Pilgrim's Punch.
Here's to you, pilgrim.
[chuckles]
Oh, yeah, wow. No, it's good, thank you.
Mmm.
Wait a minute.
My recipe's a little rusty. I need some help here.
Try this.
[grunts]
Oh, wow. I don't know. No, it's kind of...
Yeah. Yeah, you're right, you're right.
Here. How about some of this?
Whoa, whoa.
-Mmm. -Hmm.
-Much better. -Mmm-hmm. Yes.
Definitely on the right track there.
Yeah.
Who made the little onions? Those look good.
-[Brian] No. -[Evan] Listen to me. Just stay here, all right?
[Brian] You know what, Dad? Forget it.
I'm not gonna hang around here if that's how--
[Evan] Please do this for me.
[Brian] I'm not gonna do that.
-[Evan] Please. -[Brian] Let go of me!
[door slams]
What happened?
What happened? He took off. He ran.
So...
go after him.
What for?
We have the same conversation over and over and over.
How I don't have any emotions.
Because I won't let him manipulate me.
All that same stuff that his mom used to talk about.
Evan...
We fight and we fight, and nothing gets better, Julia.
Ever.
Evan, you can't not go after him.
I mean, who else is there?
Who else is there to chase him, or yell or...
Or whatever?
I mean, I know that I would want you to go after me.
Fine. I'll do it.
Wait.
All right.
I'll go.
[laughter]
[Daphne] Okay, I'm sure that there is some bourbon down here someplace.
[Griffin] In Bailey's basement?
-Yeah, possibly. -No.
[shrieks]
-Are you okay? -I did that on purpose.
You're fine.
Okay.
Oh, look.
Top shelf. Top shelf.
-I can't reach. I need something-- -All right, leg up, leg up.
-Okay. -Little more.
-All right. -Here we go, up.
[Daphne screams]
-No, I don't think that's gonna work. -[laughs]
-Here, hold on. Ready? -Okay.
-Okay, here. Ready? -Yes. [grunts]
Okay, I got it. I got it. I got it.
[panting]
It's balsamic vinegar. [laughing]
Well, that's got alcohol in it, right?
Not enough.
I guess we're gonna just
have to look for it someplace else.
-[Victor] Those are good. -[Julia] Yeah.
[Bailey] Everybody?
[Kirsten] This is...
-Hey, Charlie? Charlie. -Yeah?
I have somebody at the door for you.
I don't know.
-You want some of that? -[Kirsten] Yup.
[sighs]
You shouldn't be here right now, Myra.
Does your mother know you're here?
No.
You hurt my family, Myra.
I know.
[sniffles] Mine, too.
Mine is hurt, too.
Well...
You know what? I'm sorry I can't feel bad for you right now.
Listen, I told her, okay? I did. But she didn't care.
She already read my diary,
and there was some stuff in there about you,
and it was just...
Like, how cool it was to actually have a friend.
She made up her mind what that meant.
And you didn't deny it.
I know.
I was just... confused.
She was all worried about me.
Okay? That never happened before.
And so I just...
didn't say she was wrong.
Myra, listen to me. I...
I don't care how it happened, okay?
It's too late for that.
Wait.
You don't understand.
There's this lawyer,
and he says you're gonna take this to court.
And that means you're gonna say my mom is some horrible parent.
We cannot be having this conversation right now, Myra.
And that means they might take me away, Mr. Salinger.
I might lose my mom.
[sobs]
I just... I just wanted my family back,
and now I might lose her.
[sobs] I might lose her.
[indistinct chattering]
-Hey, you okay? -Yeah.
Can we eat?
Yes. Can't wait to eat.
Joe.
Let's do it.
[glass clinking]
Hi, everyone. Um, excuse me.
Uh, I just wanted to say,
you know, it being Thanksgiving and everything...
Thank you...
for having me here.
Not a lot of families have what you do.
I don't know if you guys know that.
But me, I feel really lucky to share it.
Anyway, back where I come from, um,
we usually said...
Actually, we sang.
We sang grace.
So if you don't mind...
-[all] Come on. Sure. -Please do.
Go for it.

Bailey?
Were you just gonna ring and run?
I'm sorry.
It's late. I should have called first.
Were you sleeping?
What are you doing here?
I'm sorry. I just...
I just wanted you to know that...
That I used to be a lot of fun.
Seriously. Seriously, I was.
I mean, not seriously.
I mean, yes, I was, but--
Come on inside.
Why are you here?
We need to talk.
I don't wanna see you.
Myra came to the house. Did you know that?
Is this a threat? Are you threatening me?
You know why she came? She came because you won't listen to her.
Do you want me to call the police?
She told you that I'm innocent, Sylvia.
And that's what she's gonna say to a judge.
So you can ignore your own daughter, but you can't ignore me.
What do you want?
[sighs]
You know what? I don't know.
Because coming over here, after what you did to me...
But the truth is, we both want the same thing.
We want to protect the people that we love.
So I guess that's what I want from you.
-Do that. -I am.
No, you're not. No, you're not.
Not if she's still coming to me for help. You're not.
You're protecting yourself,
from me, from the truth, whatever it is, I don't know.
But it's time to look after your family, Sylvia.
Look after your little girl.
[music playing over radio]
Hey.
-Hey. -How you doing?
Good.
I was just...
A little bit hung over.
You?
Yeah, a little bit. Yeah.
Last night, that didn't make much sense, did it?
You and me? That was...
Well, actually, I've never really done much that makes sense,
so probably not.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
But, um...
We could still be friends, right?
Well, yeah. No, yeah.
So, um...
Maybe we could, uh...
You know, we could go to a movie sometime together.
Yeah, sure. Why not?
And no big deal, you know, just as friends.
-Right, just as friends. -Yeah.
Okay. Good.
Then I'll just let you get back to work.
And I'll see you later.
[exhales]
Okay, good. So a movie sometime.
-Right, a movie, yeah. -Right.
Claud.
-Hey, there you are. -Yeah.
Yeah, I was just on my way out.
You disappeared last night.
I went to bed early, you know.
Too much turkey, I guess.
So you never told me. How did everything go at school?
-Fine. -Yeah?
What did the principal say?
Nothing.
I didn't tell her.
What? Claudia--
No, Julia, I know how you feel about this.
I do, but I...
I want this to just go away, you know?
It's not gonna go away because you decide to keep quiet, Claudia.
-Believe me. -Right.
You've been there, but...
this is my life, Julia.
You know what? You're not the one
who's gonna have to spend the next year-and-a-half
with a thousand people discussing if you're some slut.
Or a liar. Or worse.
You're right. I'm not.
But I'm also not the one who's gonna have to worry
about running into Derek again and again.
I mean, how are you gonna deal with that, Claudia?
I guess I'll just have to figure something out, won't I?
Make like it never happened.
For all I know,
maybe it never did.
[door closes]
I don't know. Whatever you feel like.
We could, you know, dinner and a movie,
or we could just order in.
Uh...
Uh, Tracy, can you hang on one second?
Okay, thanks.
Those aren't...
They are.
Ring girls.
They're like superwomen.
Yeah, and they're hungry, so grab your coat.
-No, Will, I can't just-- -No, no.
There's no "can't." You're between shifts, I timed this on purpose.
You don't understand. I have plans.
Yes, with Tribeca there. She's from New York.
And she's very interested in the restaurant business, Bay.
She eats out all the time.
[chuckles]
Okay, just give me a second.
Tracy. Hey, you know what?
Something's come up here at the restaurant.
I'm gonna have to work late tonight, so can we maybe reschedule?
Uh, how late?
I think pretty late.
Just come by whenever? Are you sure?
Okay, that's perfect. I'll see you tonight.
Okay, bye.
Having fun yet?
Well, you have no idea.
Fifteen minutes they said.
Really? You wanna just go home?
No. No, let's wait. I love this place.
I wanna celebrate.
So she, what...
She just dropped everything without any explanation?
Mary Anne said that, um...
She even apologized.
To her, not to you.
Look, that's not why we're here, okay?
We're here because we got pregnant.
Which means that we will again.
I wanna start trying again right away.
Charlie, God...
I don't know.
I mean, maybe we should wait.
This was hard.
You know, the IVF.
On top of all that, all this stuff with Myra and the school.
Yeah, but that's over now.
We fought it and we came out all right.
So... let's be all right.
Maybe before we start the shots again
we could practice the old-fashioned way.
It's been a few weeks.
[laughs]
You're taking off? It's pretty early.
Yeah. I was just writing you guys a note.
So you're going back to school?
Yeah.
Dad tell you about our little chat last night?
A little.
Yeah, it was weird.
You know, he basically drew the line.
Told me he'd make me pay back every cent of lost tuition,
unless I went back.
So I am.
Why is that weird?
Well, it was kind of like he'd been coached, you know?
Like I was arguing with someone else.
Like you.
So...
You are way too young for him, you know that.
I know you think so.
Yeah, well...
I also think...
he's lucky.
Thank you.
You know what? Have a safe trip back.
Brian, um...
Uh...
I'll see you.
