- Clearly, it's not for them.
- Let's just flip this one, El.

- There's a park across the street.

- if you have a baby.

- Oh. You're a dick.
- I'm kidding.

- If this place is so great,
- why don't you guys move in here?

- What are they gonna do

- They're obviously never having kids.

- All right.

- He just said you guys
- were never gonna have kids,
- 40

- and you did a definite look.
- 41
- 00:02:10,172 --> 00:02:11,663
- Yeah, what was the look for?
- 42
- 00:02:11,757 --> 00:02:13,610
- You looked back at me to try
- to include me in your look.
- 43
- 00:02:13,634 --> 00:02:15,069
- I didn't do a look.
- Totally did a look.
- 44
- 00:02:15,093 --> 00:02:17,030
- It wasn't a look.
- I think we just started some trouble.
- 45
- 00:02:17,054 --> 00:02:18,734
- There's no trouble.
- Maybe even a fight.
- 46

- There's no fight. There's no trouble.
- Let's get out of here. Come on.

- Oh, my God. You guys are gonna
- have kids now, aren't you?

- No. What? Kimmy. I don't know. What?

- Of course you are because
- you have to win at everything.

- your perfect uterus in my face too.

- Kimmy.
- It probably has a leather interior.

- All right, maybe I did do a look.
- 61
- 00:03:01,556 --> 00:03:03,513
- But just hearing him
- say it out loud:
- 62
- 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,593
- We're never having children.
- I mean, is that true?
- 63
- 00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:09,057
- I quit bringing it up
- because every time I did,
- 64
- 00:03:09,147 --> 00:03:10,507
- you'd say it's not the right time.
- 65
- 00:03:10,691 --> 00:03:12,899
- I know, but we were always so broke.
- 66

- And then we were going crazy
- trying to get the business started.
- 67
- 00:03:15,987 --> 00:03:19,276
- We've flipped five houses this year,
- and I'm starting to turn down design work.

- I always thought
- that I'd be a mom someday.

- I think I'm ready.
- Great.
- 70

- Now you're ready,
- and by the time the kid's 16,
- 71
- 00:03:26,832 --> 00:03:29,512
- I'm going to be one of those old dads,
- like Brian Hendrickson's dad.

- Hey, Dad.
- What's up, Son?

- You killed my dad!

- Hey. Hey, Dad. Wake up, wake up. Wake up!
- 78

- You did not kill Mr. Hendrickson.

- And you're not that old.
- 80
- 00:03:55,652 --> 00:03:57,689
- Here's an idea.
- What if we adopt a five-year-old?
- 81
- 00:03:57,779 --> 00:04:00,487
- It'd be like I got cracking when I was 36.

- straight, will you?

- None of my kids were planned.

- Easy-peasy.

- with them, they're cool.

- Most important thing,
- make sure the moms all get along.

- Hey. You miss me?

- 00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:39,894
- Oh, that's my boy. You missed me, huh?
- I missed you too.

- Yeah. You're such a good boy.
- 94

- Hey, El. I got the towel samples
- you wanted for the kitchen.
- 95
- 00:04:46,912 --> 00:04:47,912
- El, you okay?
- 96
- 00:04:51,082 --> 00:04:52,163
- Hey, what's the matter?
- 97
- 00:04:53,210 --> 00:04:57,124
- Nothing. I was just thinking about what
- you said about adopting a five-year-old.
- 98
- 00:04:57,214 --> 00:04:58,455
- I said that?
- Yeah.
- 99
- 00:04:58,548 --> 00:05:01,211
- I was totally... I was joking.
- I know. It's kind of crazy.
- 100
- 00:05:01,301 --> 00:05:04,339
- But it just got me thinking.
- And there's so many kids in foster care.
- 101
- 00:05:04,429 --> 00:05:07,672
- And they're moving from place to place,
- and they don't have anybody,
- 102
- 00:05:07,766 --> 00:05:09,577
- and it's like the saddest thing
- I've ever seen.
- 103
- 00:05:09,601 --> 00:05:12,890
- And I found this adoption agency.
- They're having an orientation next week.
- 104
- 00:05:12,979 --> 00:05:15,813
- No, don't show me that.
- I don't want to see those little faces.
- 105
- 00:05:15,899 --> 00:05:18,099
- You trying to break my heart?
- I just got home from work.
- 106
- 00:05:18,193 --> 00:05:21,186
- Ellie, people who take in foster kids
- are really special.
- 107
- 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,841
- These are the kind of people who volunteer
- when it's not even a holiday.
- 108
- 00:05:23,865 --> 00:05:25,697
- We don't even volunteer on a holiday.
- 109
- 00:05:25,784 --> 00:05:28,527
- What if there was a disaster?
- 110
- 00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:30,202
- What, like a dirty bomb?
- Whatever.
- 111
- 00:05:30,288 --> 00:05:33,031
- And there's a little kid
- who ends up on our doorstep.
- 112
- 00:05:33,124 --> 00:05:36,333
- Are we gonna turn her away
- because we're not special enough?
- 113
- 00:05:36,753 --> 00:05:39,245
- That would depend.
- There's a lot of factors that go into it.
- 114
- 00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,332
- I mean, our food rations.
- The blast radius.
- 115
- 00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:46,385
- El, you can't take some
- offhanded remark I made
- 116
- 00:05:46,471 --> 00:05:48,178
- and turn it into a crazy life decision.
- 117
- 00:05:48,265 --> 00:05:49,265
- It was a joke.
- 118
- 00:05:50,892 --> 00:05:51,892
- Yeah.
- 119

- 120

- into something you don't want to do.

- 00:08:30,635 --> 00:08:34,174
- But we can take you through
- the eight-week foster parenting course,
- 156
- 00:08:34,264 --> 00:08:35,926
- and you can get your certification.
- 157
- 00:08:36,016 --> 00:08:38,724
- And then we can pair you
- with some kids that you can foster
- 158
- 00:08:38,810 --> 00:08:40,517
- until they become adoptable.
- 159
- 00:08:40,603 --> 00:08:42,845
- But it is not gonna be easy, folks.
- 160
- 00:08:43,273 --> 00:08:45,265
- These kids will test your will,
- 161
- 00:08:45,859 --> 00:08:48,397
- put a strain on your relationship,
- 162
- 00:08:48,486 --> 00:08:50,569
- and push buttons
- you didn't even know you had.
- 163
- 00:08:50,989 --> 00:08:54,073
- Now, I can tell by looking at you
- that not all y'all are gonna make it.
- 164
- 00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:57,778
- (CHUCKLES) I actually think this group
- has got the grit
- 165
- 00:08:57,871 --> 00:08:59,783
- to face some unpleasant...
- 166
- 00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:00,873
- MAN: Excuse me.
- 167
- 00:09:00,957 --> 00:09:02,949
- Y-You guys heading out?
- 168
- 00:09:03,043 --> 00:09:05,660
- MAN: Yeah. Okay. Well, thank you.
- Bye-bye.
- 169
- 00:09:06,337 --> 00:09:08,454
- All right, that one's on me.
- It absolutely is.
- 170
- 00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:10,255
- We've gone over this before.
- We have.
- 171
- 00:09:10,341 --> 00:09:12,833
- This is a problem.
- It's a problem. Okay, everybody,
- 172
- 00:09:12,927 --> 00:09:14,463
- why don't we learn your names
- 173
- 00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:16,637
- and what type of children
- you're looking for.
- 174
- 00:09:16,723 --> 00:09:18,305
- Oh, hi. Um...
- 175
- 00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:21,134
- We're Dana and Dirk McCann.
- 176
- 00:09:21,227 --> 00:09:25,813
- And the Lord has guided us here
- to adopt a baby boy... or a girl.
- 177
- 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:27,560
- Yeah, the big guy,
- 178
- 00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:29,562
- he's blessed us with so much.
- Mm-hmm.
- 179
- 00:09:29,652 --> 00:09:32,110
- We'd just like to share it
- with a child that needs a home.
- 180
- 00:09:32,197 --> 00:09:33,028
- Yeah.
- (APPLAUSE)
- 181
- 00:09:33,114 --> 00:09:34,400
- What about over here?
- 182
- 00:09:34,491 --> 00:09:36,608
- I'm David, and this is my wife, Jessie.
- 183
- 00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:40,156
- And we've been trying to have a baby
- for three years now.
- 184
- 00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:42,659
- But no matter what we do, I...
- 185
- 00:09:42,749 --> 00:09:43,956
- I can't...
- 186
- 00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,327
- I'm sorry. Can someone else go?
- It's okay.
- 187
- 00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:50,913
- It's okay.
- Well, I'm Kit, and this is Michael.
- 188
- 00:09:51,007 --> 00:09:53,374
- We've also been trying to conceive now,
- 189
- 00:09:53,468 --> 00:09:55,348
- pretty much since
- the first night we met, right?
- 190
- 00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:56,428
- (ALL LAUGHING)
- 191
- 00:09:56,513 --> 00:09:59,256
- That is correct.
- We're just not having any luck.
- 192
- 00:09:59,349 --> 00:10:03,218
- Anyway, we're looking for a child of any
- gender or ethnicity up to nine years old.
- 193
- 00:10:04,896 --> 00:10:07,513
- Hello. My name is October Ross Jennings.
- 194
- 00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:12,773
- And I would like to be the single mother
- of an athletically gifted teen boy
- 195
- 00:10:12,862 --> 00:10:16,981
- who I can help to reach his full
- Division One scholarship potential.
- 196
- 00:10:17,075 --> 00:10:18,566
- Preferably African-American.
- 197
- 00:10:18,660 --> 00:10:19,776
- Mm-hmm.
- 198
- 00:10:19,869 --> 00:10:20,905
- (LAUGHING)
- 199
- 00:10:20,995 --> 00:10:25,080
- Right! Like The Blind Side.
- Like the movie, right? That's great.
- 200
- 00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:26,619
- Honey, she's not joking.
- 201
- 00:10:27,627 --> 00:10:30,745
- A-Are you Jo...
- You're not joking? My God. I'm so sorry.
- 202
- 00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:34,799
- I just thought 'cause of the gay guys'
- conceiving joke, that we were...
- 203
- 00:10:34,884 --> 00:10:37,376
- I mean, that is the plot
- of The Blind Side, so...
- 204
- 00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:40,087
- I've never seen it,
- so, please, it's your turn.
- 205
- 00:10:40,181 --> 00:10:42,844
- Just do not talk to me anymore.
- (WHISPERS) Yeah, she's nuts.
- 206
- 00:10:42,934 --> 00:10:44,470
- (ALL CHUCKLING)
- 207
- 00:10:44,561 --> 00:10:47,554
- I'm so sorry. I feel terrible. I, uh...
- 208
- 00:10:48,189 --> 00:10:51,227
- So, my name's Ellie. Hi.
- This is my husband, Pete.
- 209
- 00:10:52,318 --> 00:10:54,401
- Uh, yeah, I mean,
- I'm not too sure about any of this.
- 210
- 00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:55,318
- I mean, I get it.
- 211
- 00:10:55,405 --> 00:10:57,897
- We adopted our dog Meatball, and we love
- him like crazy, but...
- 212
- 00:10:57,991 --> 00:11:00,278
- Don't compare kids to dogs.
- I'm not.
- 213
- 00:11:00,368 --> 00:11:03,222
- I'm just saying there used to be a stigma
- about getting a dog from the pound,
- 214
- 00:11:03,246 --> 00:11:05,613
- but now they're called rescue dogs
- and everybody wants one.
- 215
- 00:11:05,707 --> 00:11:07,790
- Don't say "pound,"
- don't say "dog." Just don't.
- 216
- 00:11:07,876 --> 00:11:09,162
- Okay, no, that's not...
- 217
- 00:11:09,586 --> 00:11:11,578
- It's just all of this
- is a little scary, right?
- 218
- 00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:13,958
- But maybe if you call them rescue kids...
- Oh, my God.
- 219
- 00:11:14,048 --> 00:11:16,208
- ...instead of foster kids,
- more people would be into it
- 220
- 00:11:16,259 --> 00:11:18,529
- and people wouldn't walk out
- in the middle of your seminar
- 221
- 00:11:18,553 --> 00:11:21,011
- and it'd be good for your program.
- Pete! Pete!
- 222
- 00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:22,491
- I'm just saying...
- Just stop it!
- 223
- 00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:27,101
- Oh, everyone, our guest speaker of the
- day, Brenda Fernandez, and her parents.
- 224
- 00:11:27,187 --> 00:11:29,019
- Let's make them feel welcome.
- 225
- 00:11:29,314 --> 00:11:30,314
- ELLIE: Whoo!
- 226
- 00:11:30,356 --> 00:11:32,143
- BRENDA: Hey, thank you.
- 227
- 00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:37,569
- Hi. (CHUCKLES)
- 228
- 00:11:37,655 --> 00:11:40,272
- So, when I was eight years old,
- 229
- 00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:41,948
- my mom and her boyfriend
- 230
- 00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:45,449
- decided it would be a good idea
- to build a meth lab in our garage.
- 231
- 00:11:45,955 --> 00:11:47,571
- They made me deliver drugs for them.
- 232
- 00:11:48,333 --> 00:11:49,414
- They abused me physically,
- 233
- 00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:51,412
- and some of their customers
- abused me sexually.
- 234
- 00:11:52,420 --> 00:11:54,286
- Uh, when I was 11,
- 235
- 00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:56,963
- our garage exploded,
- and I was put in the system,
- 236
- 00:11:57,717 --> 00:11:59,549
- bounced around
- from placement to placement.
- 237
- 00:12:00,011 --> 00:12:01,547
- Pretty soon I was 14.
- 238
- 00:12:02,263 --> 00:12:05,552
- Nobody wants a teenager,
- so I'd be aging out in a few years.
- 239
- 00:12:06,643 --> 00:12:09,932
- The thing is, over half the kids
- who age out of foster care
- 240
- 00:12:10,021 --> 00:12:14,356
- end up homeless, addicted,
- incarcerated or dead within two years.
- 241
- 00:12:15,568 --> 00:12:16,684
- That was gonna be me.
- 242
- 00:12:16,778 --> 00:12:18,519
- Trying to start my adult life,
- 243
- 00:12:19,155 --> 00:12:22,023
- but with no family
- to help me pick a college,
- 244
- 00:12:22,116 --> 00:12:24,108
- nobody to come home to on the holidays,
- 245
- 00:12:24,202 --> 00:12:27,240
- or cry to when my first boyfriend
- dumped me for Missy Howard.
- 246
- 00:12:29,332 --> 00:12:33,201
- But then those two...
- very special people came along.
- 247
- 00:12:33,836 --> 00:12:35,452
- And I didn't make it easy on them.
- 248
- 00:12:38,007 --> 00:12:40,249
- But no matter how hard I pushed them away,
- 249
- 00:12:41,135 --> 00:12:45,505
- they were always there,
- with a sack lunch and a ride.
- 250
- 00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:50,600
- Thanks, you guys.
- 251
- 00:12:54,065 --> 00:12:56,648
- Come here, Daddy. You too, Mama.
- 252
- 00:12:57,068 --> 00:12:58,309
- (CHUCKLING)
- 253
- 00:13:01,656 --> 00:13:04,490
- That was good.
- (LAUGHS)
- 254
- 00:13:14,419 --> 00:13:16,877
- I am so sorry
- about the Blind Side comment.
- 255
- 00:13:16,963 --> 00:13:17,999
- I love the movie.
- 256
- 00:13:18,631 --> 00:13:20,293
- Bye, Brenda. Great job, amazing.
- 257
- 00:13:20,383 --> 00:13:21,383
- All right, Kit, bye.
- 258
- 00:13:21,968 --> 00:13:25,132
- Dirk. We'll see you in the classes, buddy.
- Bye, guys. Hey.
- 259
- 00:13:25,221 --> 00:13:27,634
- So now you think we're special enough?
- Maybe we are.
- 260
- 00:13:27,724 --> 00:13:29,340
- I mean, this is what we do.
- 261
- 00:13:29,434 --> 00:13:32,302
- We see potential in things,
- we fix 'em up. Like they did.
- 262
- 00:13:32,395 --> 00:13:34,557
- They find this kid
- in a state of disrepair,
- 263
- 00:13:34,647 --> 00:13:37,167
- they give her a new coat of paint,
- scrape off her emotional popcorn ceiling,
- 264
- 00:13:37,191 --> 00:13:40,559
- install some countertops in the form
- of love or self-esteem, whatever.
- 265
- 00:13:40,653 --> 00:13:43,632
- Look, I'm not saying she's a house like
- the way I said the dog thing in there,
- 266
- 00:13:43,656 --> 00:13:45,050
- but I think we're perfect for this.
- 267
- 00:13:45,074 --> 00:13:47,407
- But she's really...
- she's not a house, Pete.
- 268
- 00:13:47,493 --> 00:13:49,596
- I just said she's not a house.
- Are you listening to me?
- 269
- 00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:50,827
- Okay. No, I am.
- 270
- 00:13:50,913 --> 00:13:52,529
- I'm so exci... Are you excited?
- 271
- 00:13:53,708 --> 00:13:55,324
- I just get worried
- 272
- 00:13:55,418 --> 00:13:59,162
- that you think things are gonna be easier
- than they actually are.
- 273
- 00:13:59,255 --> 00:14:00,871
- What? I do not.
- You do.
- 274
- 00:14:00,965 --> 00:14:04,049
- This whole thing was your idea.
- Now I'm pumped about it, and you're not?
- 275
- 00:14:04,135 --> 00:14:05,467
- No, no, I am pumped.
- 276
- 00:14:05,553 --> 00:14:06,864
- Well, you don't look pumped.
- I am pumped.
- 277
- 00:14:06,888 --> 00:14:09,158
- A big, life-altering moment like this,
- you gotta get pumped.
- 278
- 00:14:09,182 --> 00:14:10,576
- We're about to do something insane.
- 279
- 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,886
- Did you hear her speak?
- Yes.
- 280
- 00:14:11,976 --> 00:14:13,996
- It's the greatest thing I've ever heard.
- I know.
- 281
- 00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:16,140
- Come on, cowgirl, let me get a "yee-haw."
- Yee-haw.
- 282
- 00:14:16,189 --> 00:14:18,306
- No, bull. Gimme one. Yee-haw!
- (ENGINE STARTS)

- 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:19,399
- Louder. Crazier.

- Come on. Come on!
- You're about to be a mom!

- Add a balloon, El.
- Okay, have a seat.

- (CHATTERING)
- Time's up.
- 289

- These are your fantasy kids.

- 00:14:35,208 --> 00:14:37,040
- They are not your real children.

- You're losing her.

- Pete. Pete, Pete! Tick-tock, muscle man.
- 293
- 00:14:46,427 --> 00:14:49,636
- That's not gonna bring him back from
- that peanut butter sandwich you fed him.
- 294
- 00:14:50,098 --> 00:14:53,011
- Your real kids will be very different.
- Can't erase 'em.
- 295
- 00:14:56,270 --> 00:14:58,057
- KAREN: Good job, Michael.
- 296
- 00:14:58,523 --> 00:14:59,730
- All right, October.
- 297
- 00:15:00,358 --> 00:15:02,441
- I'm calling it. Yours is dead.
- 298

- All there?
- Yeah.
- 299
- 00:15:14,247 --> 00:15:17,206
- Time to erase these ideals right now.
- 300

- Almost done.
- 301
- 00:15:19,043 --> 00:15:21,831
- Almost done.
- Okay. Okay.

- I want you all to imagine
- you got this plush new job.

- They give you a nice big office.
- 308
- 00:15:40,982 --> 00:15:43,816
- There's a gym and a frozen yogurt machine

- right there in the break room.
- I love frozen yogurt.

- 00:15:46,654 --> 00:15:49,647
- But deep down,
- you know you're not qualified.
- 311
- 00:15:51,659 --> 00:15:53,321
- In your heart of hearts,
- 312
- 00:15:54,370 --> 00:15:55,736
- you know you're not good enough,
- 313
- 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,697
- and you are going to get fired.
- 314
- 00:15:59,292 --> 00:16:03,286
- Hmm? The same way you got fired
- from your last three jobs.
- 315
- 00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:07,498
- And you might quit
- just to get some control back.
- 316
- 00:16:07,592 --> 00:16:10,505
- Hell, you might even tip over
- that damn yogurt machine
- 317
- 00:16:10,595 --> 00:16:12,075
- and walk your ass right out of there.
- 318
- 00:16:12,597 --> 00:16:14,088
- Just to clarify,
- 319
- 00:16:14,182 --> 00:16:18,017
- Karen is not advocating vandalism
- in the workplace.
- 320
- 00:16:19,061 --> 00:16:21,974
- The point is, that it's the same...
- 321
- 00:16:22,064 --> 00:16:24,932
- (SCISSORS SNIP)
- for a displaced child...
- 322
- 00:16:25,026 --> 00:16:28,770
- (SNIPPING)
- who knows... that you don't want her.
- 323
- 00:16:29,989 --> 00:16:32,447
- Except instead of grieving
- 324
- 00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:34,449
- the loss of a job...
- 325
- 00:16:35,661 --> 00:16:38,904
- she's losing her connection
- 326
- 00:16:39,248 --> 00:16:41,160
- with everything and everyone.
- 327
- 00:16:42,251 --> 00:16:45,460
- But the one connection that can remain
- 328
- 00:16:46,130 --> 00:16:47,621
- is between siblings.
- 329
- 00:16:48,299 --> 00:16:51,337
- Sometimes it's easier for sibs to adjust
- 330
- 00:16:51,427 --> 00:16:53,267
- because they're not
- going through it all alone.
- 331
- 00:16:54,055 --> 00:16:58,550
- You might want to consider upgrading
- to a sibling set.
- 332
- 00:16:58,643 --> 00:16:59,643
- KAREN: Dirk?
- 333
- 00:17:00,811 --> 00:17:02,427
- Would you consider siblings?
- 334
- 00:17:02,522 --> 00:17:04,184
- The big guy might smile on that.
- 335
- 00:17:04,273 --> 00:17:05,273
- (CHUCKLES)
- 336
- 00:17:05,608 --> 00:17:08,316
- Yeah, he would. (STAMMERING)
- Um, w-we'd have to...
- 337
- 00:17:08,402 --> 00:17:10,359
- We'd pray on that.
- Pray on it. Yeah.
- 338
- 00:17:10,446 --> 00:17:11,277
- Pray on it.
- 339
- 00:17:11,364 --> 00:17:13,697
- The big guy wouldn't give you
- any more than you can handle.
- 340
- 00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:15,775
- Uh, I beg to differ.
- 341
- 00:17:16,410 --> 00:17:18,402
- (CHATTERING, LAUGHING)
- 342
- 00:17:28,339 --> 00:17:31,173
- Pete. Ellie.
- Hey.
- 343
- 00:17:31,259 --> 00:17:32,625
- You made it.
- ELLIE: Hi.
- 344
- 00:17:33,135 --> 00:17:36,219
- Just sign in, and take this form with you,
- 345
- 00:17:36,305 --> 00:17:39,076
- and write down the name of any kid
- you meet you might be interested in.
- 346
- 00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:41,262
- Really? That's how this works?
- 347
- 00:17:41,352 --> 00:17:43,844
- Yeah, it can feel a little
- like shopping for kids.
- 348
- 00:17:43,938 --> 00:17:46,055
- It's messed up, I know,
- but the county puts these on
- 349
- 00:17:46,148 --> 00:17:48,982
- because they can match
- a lot of kids and parents quickly.
- 350
- 00:17:49,068 --> 00:17:51,230
- God, look at the big kids over there.
- 351
- 00:17:52,655 --> 00:17:53,896
- Breaks my heart.
- 352
- 00:17:53,990 --> 00:17:56,573
- Most folks want nothing
- to do with teenagers.
- 353
- 00:17:56,659 --> 00:18:00,027
- Of course, if you two thought
- you could make room for an older child...
- 354
- 00:18:00,121 --> 00:18:03,159
- Um, I mean...
- I... Oh, God.
- 355
- 00:18:03,249 --> 00:18:06,492
- I'm so sor... We...
- We're terrible people. I'm sorry.
- 356
- 00:18:06,586 --> 00:18:07,702
- You're not terrible.
- 357
- 00:18:08,129 --> 00:18:10,212
- Now get on in there
- and find you a family. Go on.
- 358
- 00:18:11,340 --> 00:18:12,626
- God, it's so weird.
- 359
- 00:18:13,384 --> 00:18:15,821
- I mean, normally, you go out and chat up
- some random kid in a park
- 360
- 00:18:15,845 --> 00:18:17,086
- and you're gonna get arrested.
- 361
- 00:18:17,179 --> 00:18:18,841
- Now we're just supposed to?
- I know.
- 362
- 00:18:19,557 --> 00:18:21,844
- This little guy's all by himself.
- You want to go say hi?
- 363
- 00:18:21,934 --> 00:18:23,345
- Yeah. Okay.
- 364
- 00:18:24,437 --> 00:18:27,020
- Excuse me. Sorry. So sorry, occupied.
- Hey! Sorry.
- 365
- 00:18:27,106 --> 00:18:28,517
- Occupied! Sorry!
- 366
- 00:18:28,608 --> 00:18:32,477
- We just went to get treats
- so, yeah, just back it up. Okay?
- 367
- 00:18:32,570 --> 00:18:35,028
- Hey, look, we got some snacks.
- 368
- 00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:36,400
- Come on, Lucas, right over here.
- 369
- 00:18:36,782 --> 00:18:38,694
- OCTOBER: Hey. Excuse me!
- Heads up!
- 370
- 00:18:39,452 --> 00:18:40,452
- Okay.
- 371
- 00:18:41,037 --> 00:18:42,528
- Never mind, thanks.
- 372
- 00:18:45,207 --> 00:18:47,950
- You just take it and try
- to throw it into his mouth.
- 373
- 00:18:48,044 --> 00:18:49,455
- Really. You want to have a go?
- 374
- 00:18:51,672 --> 00:18:52,708
- Oh.
- 375
- 00:18:53,716 --> 00:18:55,002
- Nice to meet you.
- 376
- 00:18:55,968 --> 00:18:57,630
- Get it?
- Oh, yeah. Bring her in!
- 377
- 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,281
- Yeah... Whoa! Oh!
- (SHOUTING, ARGUING)
- 378
- 00:18:59,305 --> 00:19:01,297
- Hey. You gotta wait for your turn, buddy.
- 379
- 00:19:02,683 --> 00:19:05,050
- I'm sorry.
- Let's... Let's just go. Let's just go.
- 380
- 00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:12,516
- Pete. Ellie.
- 381
- 00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:14,067
- How's it going?
- Hey.
- 382
- 00:19:14,153 --> 00:19:16,520
- Yeah, well... it's a little weird.
- 383
- 00:19:16,614 --> 00:19:18,606
- Yeah, these things can be kind of awkward.
- 384
- 00:19:18,699 --> 00:19:22,238
- But did you meet any kids
- that you're curious about?
- 385
- 00:19:22,328 --> 00:19:25,821
- We met one little girl
- who was sitting all by herself.
- 386
- 00:19:25,915 --> 00:19:28,874
- Very sweet, a little guarded.
- Kind of had a little wall around her.
- 387
- 00:19:28,959 --> 00:19:33,044
- Really small for her age, too.
- Maybe a fetal alcohol thing or something.
- 388
- 00:19:33,130 --> 00:19:36,248
- I saw her... Oh, right there.
- The little sad-looking one with pigtails
- 389
- 00:19:36,342 --> 00:19:38,612
- who seems like she's been chained
- to a radiator half her life.
- 390
- 00:19:38,636 --> 00:19:41,094
- Uh, that's my daughter.
- The radiator kid?
- 391
- 00:19:41,514 --> 00:19:42,800
- (CHUCKLES) What?
- 392
- 00:19:42,890 --> 00:19:44,256
- Yeah, that's my daughter.
- 393
- 00:19:45,017 --> 00:19:47,384
- I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
- You don't have to be sorry.
- 394
- 00:19:47,478 --> 00:19:48,764
- I'm really proud of her.
- 395
- 00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:53,098
- The reason she's sitting away from others
- is because she has a family,
- 396
- 00:19:53,192 --> 00:19:54,854
- a very happy family.
- 397
- 00:19:54,944 --> 00:19:57,436
- And I didn't drink a drop
- when I was pregnant.
- 398
- 00:19:57,530 --> 00:19:59,112
- Nor do I have a radiator.
- 399
- 00:19:59,198 --> 00:20:01,781
- Of course. You should be really proud.
- I am.
- 400
- 00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:06,702
- (CHATTERING)
- 401
- 00:20:07,581 --> 00:20:09,101
- You know what?
- I'm sick of looking at that.
- 402
- 00:20:09,125 --> 00:20:10,661
- To hell with it. I'm going over there.
- 403
- 00:20:10,751 --> 00:20:12,208
- Pete. Hey, Pete.
- 404
- 00:20:13,629 --> 00:20:16,121
- Pete, what are you doing?
- Look at them over there.
- 405
- 00:20:16,215 --> 00:20:18,377
- Everybody's avoiding them
- like they're dipped in shit.
- 406
- 00:20:18,467 --> 00:20:19,674
- I'm just gonna go say hi.
- 407
- 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,592
- Yeah, okay... Hey, Pete, Pete, just wait.
- 408
- 00:20:21,679 --> 00:20:24,387
- I know. I think it's awful.
- But they're teenagers, okay?
- 409
- 00:20:24,473 --> 00:20:26,465
- They use drugs, and they masturbate,
- 410
- 00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:28,471
- and watch people playing
- video games on YouTube.
- 411
- 00:20:28,561 --> 00:20:29,681
- We're not equipped for that.
- 412
- 00:20:29,770 --> 00:20:30,914
- What do we have to be equipped for?
- 413
- 00:20:30,938 --> 00:20:32,999
- I'm just going to say hello.
- I know. I don't think we should do that.
- 414
- 00:20:33,023 --> 00:20:35,356
- Excuse me? Hi.
- Hey. Hi.
- 415
- 00:20:35,443 --> 00:20:36,443
- Hi.
- 416
- 00:20:36,819 --> 00:20:38,936
- Just FYI, we can all hear you.
- 417
- 00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:39,940
- Hmm?
- 418
- 00:20:40,030 --> 00:20:43,569
- "Dipped in shit," "masturbate," so forth.
- 419
- 00:20:43,659 --> 00:20:48,029
- Uh, we appreciate the concern,
- but there's no need to go all pity crazy.
- 420
- 00:20:48,122 --> 00:20:49,488
- We know how this works.
- 421
- 00:20:49,582 --> 00:20:51,244
- So just go on. It's okay.
- 422
- 00:20:51,333 --> 00:20:52,813
- Go mingle with the kiddies, and uh...
- 423
- 00:20:53,169 --> 00:20:54,705
- don't give it another thought, okay?
- 424
- 00:20:54,795 --> 00:20:57,003
- Have a good day, folks. Thanks. Bye-bye.
- 425
- 00:20:59,842 --> 00:21:01,708
- (LAUGHING)
- 426
- 00:21:13,522 --> 00:21:17,857
- KAREN: So, you two went out and found
- yourself a teenager after all, huh?
- 427
- 00:21:17,943 --> 00:21:20,560
- We only met her for a second.
- But she made a real impression.
- 428
- 00:21:20,654 --> 00:21:22,646
- Oh, yeah. Lizzy's such a great kid.
- 429
- 00:21:22,740 --> 00:21:25,278
- She does really well in school.
- Come on back.
- 430
- 00:21:26,202 --> 00:21:29,195
- She came into care four years ago
- when she was 11.
- 431
- 00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:32,907
- It took a lot to convince her to accept
- placement in an adoptive home.
- 432
- 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:33,831
- Her mother...
- 433
- 00:21:33,918 --> 00:21:35,937
- Set the house on fire,
- passed out with a crack pipe.
- 434
- 00:21:35,961 --> 00:21:38,374
- What I was gonna say...
- Before I told it like it is?
- 435
- 00:21:38,464 --> 00:21:40,456
- ...before you jumped on in there,
- 436
- 00:21:40,549 --> 00:21:43,883
- is that her mother's made
- a lot of promises over the years
- 437
- 00:21:43,969 --> 00:21:45,801
- and never seems
- to follow through with them.
- 438
- 00:21:45,888 --> 00:21:47,129
- Where's her mom now?
- 439
- 00:21:47,223 --> 00:21:49,715
- Probably in an orange jumpsuit
- selling smokes in the yard.
- 440
- 00:21:49,809 --> 00:21:51,721
- SHARON: I'm sure that's not accurate.
- 441
- 00:21:52,269 --> 00:21:57,810
- Huh. Turns out Lizzy's mom is
- finishing a sentence in county jail.
- 442
- 00:21:57,900 --> 00:21:59,812
- Who called it, huh? Who said it?
- 443
- 00:21:59,902 --> 00:22:01,188
- You did.
- Yeah.
- 444
- 00:22:01,612 --> 00:22:04,150
- Looks like she's never
- pursued reunification
- 445
- 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,072
- or contacted her kids in over two years,
- 446
- 00:22:06,158 --> 00:22:08,275
- so, yeah, she's pretty much a non-issue.
- 447
- 00:22:08,369 --> 00:22:11,112
- That's terrible. What about the father?
- 448
- 00:22:11,413 --> 00:22:13,370
- (LAUGHING)
- 449
- 00:22:13,999 --> 00:22:16,082
- What are you talking about, "father"?
- 450
- 00:22:16,961 --> 00:22:19,578
- What, are you doing comedy
- for us now, Pete?
- 451
- 00:22:19,672 --> 00:22:23,040
- Karen, we've had plenty of fathers
- who've stepped up,
- 452
- 00:22:23,133 --> 00:22:26,672
- but, in this case, no ID's
- on any birth fathers.
- 453
- 00:22:26,762 --> 00:22:29,129
- Look, Lizzy's mom
- is a product of the system,
- 454
- 00:22:29,223 --> 00:22:33,092
- and she never learned to properly care
- for herself, much less three kids.
- 455
- 00:22:33,185 --> 00:22:34,412
- Three? Three kids?
- Oh. What?
- 456
- 00:22:34,436 --> 00:22:35,472
- Yeah, three.
- 457
- 00:22:35,563 --> 00:22:37,270
- Yeah, Lizzy...
- At once?
- 458
- 00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:41,942
- Yeah, Lizzy comes with two
- younger siblings, Juan and Lita.
- 459
- 00:22:42,027 --> 00:22:44,519
- Wait. Wait.
- So we would have... three children?
- 460
- 00:22:44,613 --> 00:22:47,026
- No. Two maybe,
- but there's no way we can do three.
- 461
- 00:22:47,116 --> 00:22:48,607
- I mean, we wanted to meet...
- 462
- 00:22:48,701 --> 00:22:50,283
- Oh, my gosh.
- 463
- 00:22:50,369 --> 00:22:52,577
- Why would you show us that?
- You're an asshole.
- 464
- 00:22:52,663 --> 00:22:56,031
- Why would you even show that?
- They're so cute. That's wrong.
- 465
- 00:22:56,125 --> 00:22:58,162
- Listen, we're not gonna
- sugarcoat it, okay?
- 466
- 00:22:58,252 --> 00:23:01,120
- Lita is a... a wild, rowdy kid,
- 467
- 00:23:01,213 --> 00:23:04,251
- and Juan can be fragile
- and a little emotional,
- 468
- 00:23:04,341 --> 00:23:08,335
- and Lizzy is strong-willed
- and she won't trust easily.
- 469
- 00:23:08,429 --> 00:23:10,637
- God, can you blame her?
- KAREN: No, but listen.
- 470
- 00:23:10,723 --> 00:23:12,259
- We wouldn't recommend this match
- 471
- 00:23:12,349 --> 00:23:15,763
- if we didn't believe
- that with some structure and love
- 472
- 00:23:15,853 --> 00:23:18,812
- these... these kids could blossom, right?
- 473
- 00:23:18,898 --> 00:23:21,982
- Yeah, and we're hoping to get them
- out of their current foster placement.
- 474
- 00:23:22,067 --> 00:23:24,730
- (GRUMBLES) The Muskies might lose
- that meal ticket.
- 475
- 00:23:24,820 --> 00:23:25,936
- Karen, please.
- 476
- 00:23:26,030 --> 00:23:30,900
- Most of our foster parents
- are really terrific, caring people.
- 477
- 00:23:30,993 --> 00:23:33,986
- And, yes, there are people
- who do it just for the paycheck.
- 478
- 00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:37,163
- But the Muskies are not abusive or evil.
- 479
- 00:23:37,249 --> 00:23:39,332
- Just maybe a little...
- Inbred.
- 480
- 00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:42,035
- Karen, there is no evidence to...
- You've seen 'em.
- 481
- 00:23:42,129 --> 00:23:44,769
- I swear they look like brother and sister.
- I can't tell them apart.
- 482
- 00:23:44,798 --> 00:23:47,632
- In any case,
- I'd love to set up a visitation,
- 483
- 00:23:47,718 --> 00:23:49,675
- unless you have any other concerns?
- 484
- 00:23:49,762 --> 00:23:52,129
- It's just a visitation. So...
- 485
- 00:23:52,222 --> 00:23:55,715
- I-It's just... Is it a problem, you know,
- the whole white savior thing?
- 486
- 00:23:56,685 --> 00:23:58,927
- Like the Avatar thing.
- Avatar?
- 487
- 00:23:59,021 --> 00:24:01,333
- You know how the blue guys couldn't fight
- off the unobtanium guys
- 488
- 00:24:01,357 --> 00:24:03,770
- until the white guy showed up
- and pretended to be a blue guy?
- 489
- 00:24:03,859 --> 00:24:07,978
- All I'm saying is, white-bread couple
- taking in little Latin kids.
- 490
- 00:24:08,072 --> 00:24:10,032
- Are people gonna think
- we shouldn't be doing that?
- 491
- 00:24:10,074 --> 00:24:13,488
- You know what? We'll go ahead
- and toss these kids back into the system
- 492
- 00:24:13,577 --> 00:24:15,694
- and I'll just jot you down
- for "whites only."
- 493
- 00:24:15,788 --> 00:24:18,747
- Come on. I didn't mean...
- Hey! No, that's not...
- 494
- 00:24:18,832 --> 00:24:20,872
- Don't write "whites only."
- That's not what he meant.
- 495
- 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,187
- That's not at all what I meant.
- 496
- 00:24:22,211 --> 00:24:24,794
- Pete, I appreciate
- your cultural sensitivity,
- 497
- 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,998
- but we have every color
- of kid in the system.
- 498
- 00:24:28,092 --> 00:24:30,584
- And we have every color of parent.
- Every color.
- 499
- 00:24:30,678 --> 00:24:31,794
- Just not nearly enough.
- 500
- 00:24:31,887 --> 00:24:33,628
- Not nearly enough parents.
- Mm-mmm.
- 501
- 00:24:33,722 --> 00:24:36,510
- And listen,
- you're gonna get some funny looks.
- 502
- 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,967
- And people are gonna say some stupid shit.
- 503
- 00:24:39,895 --> 00:24:42,979
- But if you're willing to love these kids
- who need a mom and dad
- 504
- 00:24:43,065 --> 00:24:44,542
- and somebody has a problem with that?
- 505
- 00:24:44,566 --> 00:24:47,400
- You just ask 'em how many
- goddamn kids they've adopted.
- 506
- 00:24:47,486 --> 00:24:48,943
- Exactly.
- Hell.
- 507
- 00:24:49,613 --> 00:24:50,478
- Shoot.
- 508
- 00:24:50,572 --> 00:24:53,732
- All right. Well, I just wanted to have
- the Avatar talk. Now we did, so I'm good.
- 509
- 00:24:53,784 --> 00:24:55,025
- Oh, fantastic.
- 510
- 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,156
- You ready to meet three kids?
- Three kids.
- 511
- 00:24:57,246 --> 00:24:59,283
- All right.
- We'll set it up.
- 512
- 00:25:03,711 --> 00:25:05,543
- Hey. How's it going?
- 513
- 00:25:06,296 --> 00:25:08,458
- Oh, good. It's going really good.
- 514
- 00:25:08,549 --> 00:25:11,508
- Pete and Ellie.
- Yeah, we know. Come on in.
- 515
- 00:25:12,177 --> 00:25:13,463
- (SCOFFS)
- 516
- 00:25:17,641 --> 00:25:20,258
- Good luck with that one.
- She thinks she's better than everybody.
- 517
- 00:25:20,352 --> 00:25:23,220
- Yeah. The other two are
- jackassing around out back.
- 518
- 00:25:23,313 --> 00:25:24,679
- We'll be in the shop.
- 519
- 00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:29,734
- Hey.
- Hi.
- 520
- 00:25:29,820 --> 00:25:31,027
- Hey, Lizzy.
- How are you?
- 521
- 00:25:31,113 --> 00:25:32,149
- Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Wagner.
- 522
- 00:25:32,239 --> 00:25:33,355
- Oh, uh, Ellie and Pete.
- 523
- 00:25:33,449 --> 00:25:36,863
- You don't have to call us the Wagners.
- No, please. Good to...
- 524
- 00:25:36,952 --> 00:25:38,864
- Um, sorry about them.
- 525
- 00:25:38,954 --> 00:25:40,365
- They're...
- Oh, please.
- 526
- 00:25:40,456 --> 00:25:43,073
- They just seem a little...
- Like brother and sister?
- 527
- 00:25:43,167 --> 00:25:45,847
- MRS. MUSKIE: Pipe down with that crap.
- We are not friggin' related.
- 528
- 00:25:45,878 --> 00:25:47,078
- MR. MUSKIE: Friggin' related.
- 529
- 00:25:47,838 --> 00:25:49,045
- I'm really gonna miss them.
- 530
- 00:25:50,007 --> 00:25:51,248
- That is, if you...
- No.
- 531
- 00:25:51,341 --> 00:25:52,798
- No. No.
- Please. Oh, my goodness.
- 532
- 00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,904
- You made such a good impression on us
- when we met you,
- 533
- 00:25:54,928 --> 00:25:58,638
- we wanted to get to know you a bit more.
- Yes, and meet your brother and sister.
- 534
- 00:25:58,724 --> 00:26:00,660
- They're right outside,
- if you guys wanna follow me.
- 535
- 00:26:00,684 --> 00:26:01,891
- Yes! Yes.
- Yeah.
- 536
- 00:26:01,977 --> 00:26:03,058
- Okay.
- 537
- 00:26:06,315 --> 00:26:07,351
- Juan.
- 538
- 00:26:07,691 --> 00:26:08,727
- Lita.
- 539
- 00:26:09,443 --> 00:26:12,652
- I want you guys to meet Pete and Ellie.
- 540
- 00:26:12,738 --> 00:26:14,024
- Hi.
- Hey, guys.
- 541
- 00:26:14,114 --> 00:26:15,776
- Are we gonna go stay at your house now?
- 542
- 00:26:15,866 --> 00:26:16,697
- Um...
- 543
- 00:26:16,784 --> 00:26:20,118
- Well, we met your sister,
- and she's so awesome.
- 544
- 00:26:20,204 --> 00:26:22,515
- Yeah, she's really cool.
- She was telling us about you guys.
- 545
- 00:26:22,539 --> 00:26:24,496
- Want to play restaurant with me?
- 546
- 00:26:24,583 --> 00:26:26,620
- Yeah, I would love to.
- Where's your restaurant?
- 547
- 00:26:26,710 --> 00:26:28,793
- Right over there.
- And what's your doll's name?
- 548
- 00:26:28,879 --> 00:26:30,415
- Her name is Potato Chips.
- 549
- 00:26:30,506 --> 00:26:33,999
- Oh, I love potato chips.
- Potato chips are my favorite.
- 550
- 00:26:34,635 --> 00:26:35,635
- Nice one.
- 551
- 00:26:36,136 --> 00:26:38,719
- Can we be the Clippers?
- Oh, I'm more of a Lakers fan.
- 552
- 00:26:38,806 --> 00:26:40,092
- Oh, uh, sorry.
- 553
- 00:26:40,182 --> 00:26:42,344
- No, you don't have to say sorry.
- That's okay.
- 554
- 00:26:42,434 --> 00:26:43,720
- We can be the Clippers.
- Okay.
- 555
- 00:26:43,811 --> 00:26:45,973
- I'm gonna shoot, you crash the boards.
- Yeah. Sure.
- 556
- 00:26:48,774 --> 00:26:50,015
- Oh, no!
- 557
- 00:26:50,109 --> 00:26:51,520
- Oh, shoot!
- 558
- 00:26:51,610 --> 00:26:53,146
- You did it on purpose!
- What?
- 559
- 00:26:53,237 --> 00:26:56,257
- You hit me because I like the Clippers.
- Buddy, I think the Clippers are awesome.
- 560
- 00:26:56,281 --> 00:26:58,176
- ELLIE: We love the Clippers.
- Are you kidding me?
- 561
- 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,929
- It was smart to get rid of Blake Griffin.
- That was a great trade for them.
- 562
- 00:27:00,953 --> 00:27:03,912
- We're obsessed with the Clippers.
- I can't get enough of them.
- 563
- 00:27:03,997 --> 00:27:06,535
- They're amazing.
- Okay.
- 564
- 00:27:06,625 --> 00:27:09,288
- Can we play hide and seek?
- You sure? You lost a lot of blood.
- 565
- 00:27:09,378 --> 00:27:11,961
- I love hide and seek.
- Okay, but just us. No girls.
- 566
- 00:27:12,047 --> 00:27:14,084
- Oh. Sure.
- 567
- 00:27:14,758 --> 00:27:16,319
- It's not that progressive, but no problem.
- 568
- 00:27:16,343 --> 00:27:18,505
- Lita, should we go play restaurants?
- Yeah.
- 569
- 00:27:18,595 --> 00:27:20,757
- You're it. I'll hide and you count. Okay?
- 570
- 00:27:20,848 --> 00:27:21,713
- You sure you're okay?
- 571
- 00:27:21,807 --> 00:27:23,673
- Yeah. Go on, count.
- All right, buddy.
- 572
- 00:27:23,767 --> 00:27:25,554
- Count to 20.
- Oh, my God.
- 573
- 00:27:25,894 --> 00:27:28,682
- You better not embarrass me
- at the restaurant.
- 574
- 00:27:28,772 --> 00:27:32,391
- Potato Chips has been bad today. Bad girl!
- 575
- 00:27:32,860 --> 00:27:34,317
- Bad, bad, bad!
- 576
- 00:27:34,862 --> 00:27:36,979
- Don't talk back, you little beaner!
- 577
- 00:27:37,614 --> 00:27:40,482
- Oh! Uh... I don't think that's...
- 578
- 00:27:40,576 --> 00:27:43,319
- You know what?
- She picks up stuff off the TV.
- 579
- 00:27:43,412 --> 00:27:44,412
- MR. MUSKIE: Yeah.
- 580
- 00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:46,279
- Oh, don't give me the look.
- 581
- 00:27:48,250 --> 00:27:52,164
- Let's not call her bad names like that.
- Don't tell me how to treat my kid!
- 582
- 00:27:52,254 --> 00:27:54,120
- You think you're better than me, huh?
- 583
- 00:27:55,757 --> 00:27:59,467
- Pete, if you don't want the kids,
- I'm not gonna push you into it.
- 584
- 00:28:00,053 --> 00:28:01,544
- All right, look.
- 585
- 00:28:02,639 --> 00:28:05,632
- (SIGHS) I'm gonna be honest with you,
- all right?
- 586
- 00:28:05,726 --> 00:28:08,560
- I don't know, I just thought
- when we met our kids
- 587
- 00:28:08,645 --> 00:28:11,228
- that it would be like
- this cosmic connection, you know?
- 588
- 00:28:11,315 --> 00:28:14,399
- Like just take one look at them
- and just know, like when you and me met.
- 589
- 00:28:14,860 --> 00:28:16,897
- Yeah. Totally.
- 590
- 00:28:17,863 --> 00:28:19,980
- Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- What, you didn't just know?
- 591
- 00:28:20,073 --> 00:28:21,073
- Hmm?
- 592
- 00:28:21,617 --> 00:28:22,983
- Oh, my gosh.
- What?
- 593
- 00:28:23,076 --> 00:28:24,637
- You heard what I said.
- You didn't just know?
- 594
- 00:28:24,661 --> 00:28:25,661
- No, I was interested,
- 595
- 00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:27,912
- but, you know,
- I'm more cautious than you are.
- 596
- 00:28:27,998 --> 00:28:30,331
- Really? Wow.
- How long before you just knew?
- 597
- 00:28:30,417 --> 00:28:32,579
- (SCOFFS) A couple of months.
- 598
- 00:28:32,669 --> 00:28:34,331
- A couple of months? How many months?
- 599
- 00:28:35,005 --> 00:28:37,213
- Like four...
- Four?
- 600
- 00:28:37,299 --> 00:28:38,210
- ...Teen.
- Fourteen?
- 601
- 00:28:38,300 --> 00:28:39,165
- Babe, look.
- Oh, my God!
- 602
- 00:28:39,259 --> 00:28:41,967
- I knew before we got married, okay?
- That's the point.
- 603
- 00:28:42,054 --> 00:28:44,054
- We don't have a year-long engagement
- on this thing.
- 604
- 00:28:44,139 --> 00:28:46,347
- If we say "yes,"
- they're in our house next week.
- 605
- 00:28:46,433 --> 00:28:47,890
- Did you feel a cosmic connection?
- 606
- 00:28:48,936 --> 00:28:51,770
- No, I didn't feel a cosmic connection.
- I felt like I was...
- 607
- 00:28:52,314 --> 00:28:54,274
- I felt like I was babysitting
- other people's kids.
- 608
- 00:28:54,358 --> 00:28:55,358
- I agree.
- 609
- 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,766
- With what?
- With you.
- 610
- 00:28:57,444 --> 00:28:59,936
- With me wanting the kids
- or not wanting the kids?
- 611
- 00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:01,771
- Whatever you want.
- That's not an answer.
- 612
- 00:29:01,865 --> 00:29:04,448
- Then just give me 1d months
- to think about it. How 'bout that?
- 613
- 00:29:04,534 --> 00:29:05,534
- Come on.
- 614
- 00:29:06,161 --> 00:29:07,572
- (DOOR OPENS)
- WOMAN: Hi!
- 615
- 00:29:07,663 --> 00:29:09,529
- PETE: It's not a potluck.
- (DOOR CLOSES)
- 616
- 00:29:09,623 --> 00:29:11,489
- (CHATTERING)
- 617
- 00:29:13,543 --> 00:29:14,954
- All righty.
- 618
- 00:29:15,045 --> 00:29:17,879
- Honey, put those down for me. Thank you.
- 619
- 00:29:17,965 --> 00:29:19,877
- All right, come on, everybody.
- 620
- 00:29:20,467 --> 00:29:22,959
- Honey, come on. (CHUCKLING) Jeez.
- 621
- 00:29:23,053 --> 00:29:25,545
- All right, everybody, hands.
- 622
- 00:29:25,973 --> 00:29:29,216
- Hands, hands, hands. Thank you.
- 623
- 00:29:29,309 --> 00:29:31,221
- Eyes closed.
- 624
- 00:29:32,562 --> 00:29:36,522
- I'm thankful
- for my beautiful grandchildren,
- 625
- 00:29:36,608 --> 00:29:39,976
- including the... the very lucky kids
- 626
- 00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:43,939
- that are soon to be adopted
- by two wonderful parents.
- 627
- 00:29:44,032 --> 00:29:45,568
- I'm really thankful for that, too.
- 628
- 00:29:45,659 --> 00:29:48,447
- That is really inspiring stuff, you guys.
- Well done.
- 629
- 00:29:48,537 --> 00:29:50,870
- Yeah, about that. Actually, we...
- 630
- 00:29:50,956 --> 00:29:55,451
- Yeah, we've decided together
- not to move forward with the foster thing.
- 631
- 00:29:55,544 --> 00:29:59,163
- Yeah, we just realized we hadn't
- thought it through properly, so...
- 632
- 00:29:59,256 --> 00:30:02,215
- Yeah. Jesus Christ. This is great news.
- 633
- 00:30:02,301 --> 00:30:04,588
- I mean, we were all being supportive
- to your faces, but...
- 634
- 00:30:04,678 --> 00:30:06,886
- Yeah. We all thought
- you were out of your minds.
- 635
- 00:30:06,972 --> 00:30:10,886
- I never said anything,
- but I'm thankful to hear this.
- 636
- 00:30:10,976 --> 00:30:12,683
- What? Why?
- 637
- 00:30:12,769 --> 00:30:16,009
- Ellie, let's not. We're holding hands.
- No, no, no. I would be thankful to know
- 638
- 00:30:16,064 --> 00:30:18,056
- why you all have a problem with this.
- 639
- 00:30:18,150 --> 00:30:19,686
- Hey, I never had a problem with it.
- 640
- 00:30:19,776 --> 00:30:23,486
- I think it's smart. Have a couple kids
- without the pregnancy and the hormones
- 641
- 00:30:23,572 --> 00:30:26,280
- and the... rage.
- Stop talking.
- 642
- 00:30:26,366 --> 00:30:29,905
- Ellie, all I'm saying is
- that we're thankful
- 643
- 00:30:29,995 --> 00:30:32,988
- that you and Peter are gonna experience
- 644
- 00:30:33,081 --> 00:30:36,995
- having the love of your own
- beautiful children rather than...
- 645
- 00:30:37,085 --> 00:30:38,747
- Rather than what, Jan? Just spit it out.
- 646
- 00:30:38,837 --> 00:30:41,250
- Hell, I'll say it.
- Rather than just rolling the dice
- 647
- 00:30:41,340 --> 00:30:43,340
- with the offspring
- of some criminal or drug addict.
- 648
- 00:30:43,425 --> 00:30:46,259
- To be honest, we were worried
- about our real kids' safety...
- 649
- 00:30:46,345 --> 00:30:49,179
- What?
- ...were they to hang out with your kids,
- 650
- 00:30:49,264 --> 00:30:50,755
- if they're...
- Damaged goods?
- 651
- 00:30:50,849 --> 00:30:53,077
- You know, 'cause when I was growing up
- in the neighborhood,
- 652
- 00:30:53,101 --> 00:30:54,912
- a lot of people thought
- I was damaged goods, too.
- 653
- 00:30:54,936 --> 00:30:56,598
- Pete, we're not talking about you, man.
- 654
- 00:30:56,688 --> 00:31:00,648
- We're talking about crack babies
- and kids who have been sexually harassed.
- 655
- 00:31:00,734 --> 00:31:01,975
- Sexually harassed?
- 656
- 00:31:02,069 --> 00:31:04,069
- What do you mean,
- their parents made lewd comments?
- 657
- 00:31:04,154 --> 00:31:05,690
- You know what I mean, wiseass.
- 658
- 00:31:05,781 --> 00:31:07,317
- Open your stupid eyes.
- 659
- 00:31:10,118 --> 00:31:12,889
- How long have everyone's eyes been open?
- ELLIE: Kimmy, you of all people.
- 660
- 00:31:12,913 --> 00:31:14,057
- What if you can't have a baby?
- 661
- 00:31:14,081 --> 00:31:16,243
- Do not put that out
- into the universe, please.
- 662
- 00:31:16,333 --> 00:31:18,575
- What if you can't? What are you gonna do?
- 663
- 00:31:18,668 --> 00:31:20,813
- Kim, if you don't quit being
- so nuts about this baby thing,
- 664
- 00:31:20,837 --> 00:31:23,420
- I swear to God, I'm gonna
- get pregnant again this afternoon
- 665
- 00:31:23,507 --> 00:31:24,918
- just to spite you.
- 666
- 00:31:25,008 --> 00:31:26,920
- And you know I can do it.
- Really?
- 667
- 00:31:27,010 --> 00:31:28,501
- No.
- Oh.
- 668
- 00:31:28,595 --> 00:31:30,782
- I'm sorry if we're not
- as politically correct as you guys,
- 669
- 00:31:30,806 --> 00:31:33,219
- but our baby has to be our blood.
- 670
- 00:31:33,308 --> 00:31:34,719
- KIMMY: Yes! Absolutely!
- 671
- 00:31:34,810 --> 00:31:38,178
- Oh, my God. "Our blood."
- This blood? This blood right here?
- 672
- 00:31:38,271 --> 00:31:40,666
- What's that supposed to mean?
- Jerry, what do you think of all this?
- 673
- 00:31:40,690 --> 00:31:42,168
- I'd be thankful if we could eat, Russ.
- 674
- 00:31:42,192 --> 00:31:44,980
- You just spent 30 minutes
- talking about the deep state.
- 675
- 00:31:45,070 --> 00:31:46,589
- You don't have an opinion
- on your own family?
- 676
- 00:31:46,613 --> 00:31:48,299
- None of my business.
- ELLIE: Thank you, Daddy.
- 677
- 00:31:48,323 --> 00:31:50,551
- And I would like you all to know
- that thousands of children
- 678
- 00:31:50,575 --> 00:31:52,737
- are spending Thanksgiving
- without any family at all.
- 679
- 00:31:52,828 --> 00:31:54,364
- And right now I kind of envy them.
- 680
- 00:31:54,704 --> 00:31:55,911
- But I know you guys love me.
- 681
- 00:31:55,997 --> 00:31:58,831
- I know that I have a place to go
- to eat turkey and be thankful.
- 682
- 00:31:58,917 --> 00:32:00,704
- But a lot of kids don't have that.
- 683
- 00:32:00,794 --> 00:32:03,707
- And it's not their fault!
- And they're not damaged goods!
- 684
- 00:32:03,797 --> 00:32:06,540
- So forget what I said before.
- It is back on!
- 685
- 00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:08,444
- If that's okay with you, honey.
- Yee-haw, baby.
- 686
- 00:32:08,468 --> 00:32:10,755
- Yee-haw. We're gonna adopt
- a whole shitwhack of kids.
- 687
- 00:32:10,846 --> 00:32:14,055
- And I am thankful that whoever
- has a problem with it can fuck right off!
- 688
- 00:32:14,141 --> 00:32:15,141
- (GASPS)
- 689
- 00:32:16,017 --> 00:32:17,349
- (GIGGLING)
- 690
- 00:32:18,728 --> 00:32:21,015
- Amen.
- Amen.
- 691
- 00:32:21,106 --> 00:32:22,106
- (GASPS)
- 692
- 00:32:22,149 --> 00:32:24,232
- JAN: Well, there goes
- another Thanksgiving.
- 693
- 00:32:24,317 --> 00:32:26,149
- (WHISPERS) You're crazy.
- 694
- 00:32:26,236 --> 00:32:27,943
- (BARKING)
- 695
- 00:32:28,029 --> 00:32:30,442
- Hi, honey. Here we are.
- 696
- 00:32:30,532 --> 00:32:31,818
- Come in, look around.
- 697
- 00:32:31,908 --> 00:32:34,025
- This is Meatball.
- (GASPS)
- 698
- 00:32:34,119 --> 00:32:36,406
- A Christmas tree?
- 699
- 00:32:36,496 --> 00:32:38,909
- Does that mean Santa comes here?
- 700
- 00:32:38,999 --> 00:32:40,911
- Yeah, every year.
- Yay!
- 701
- 00:32:41,001 --> 00:32:43,709
- So, you guys are rich.
- What? Ri...
- 702
- 00:32:43,795 --> 00:32:45,502
- No, we're not rich.
- (LAUGHS)
- 703
- 00:32:45,589 --> 00:32:47,080
- PETE: I mean, we're doing okay.
- 704
- 00:32:47,174 --> 00:32:48,776
- Well...
- When we got this house, it was a dump.
- 705
- 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,840
- That's what we do. We renovate houses.
- Ellie did all the design work in here.
- 706
- 00:32:51,887 --> 00:32:54,595
- Actually, everything is from
- swap meets and flea markets
- 707
- 00:32:54,681 --> 00:32:56,593
- and it's not that expensive at all.
- 708
- 00:32:56,683 --> 00:33:00,142
- Oh, that's crystal! Sorry. Oh, my God.
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- 709
- 00:33:00,228 --> 00:33:01,309
- I'm so sorry.
- 710
- 00:33:01,396 --> 00:33:03,683
- Uh, I shouldn't have left this out.
- 711
- 00:33:04,649 --> 00:33:08,359
- So you guys want to see your rooms?
- Come on. Let's go check out your room.
- 712
- 00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:10,279
- (GASPS)
- 713
- 00:33:10,572 --> 00:33:14,065
- Lookit! A bed and a bunny!
- What do you think?
- 714
- 00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:16,242
- I love the bunny 'cause she has a skirt.
- 715
- 00:33:16,703 --> 00:33:18,990
- Whose toys are these?
- ELLIE: They're yours, to share.
- 716
- 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:19,911
- PETE: Yeah.
- 717
- 00:33:19,998 --> 00:33:22,866
- (GASPS) Lego!
- 718
- 00:33:22,959 --> 00:33:24,370
- Can I put my bears in there?
- 719
- 00:33:24,461 --> 00:33:25,497
- Sure.
- Of course.
- 720
- 00:33:27,047 --> 00:33:30,040
- Wow, you sure have a lot of teddy bears.
- These are just court bears.
- 721
- 00:33:30,133 --> 00:33:32,295
- They get one every time
- we go to family court.
- 722
- 00:33:33,470 --> 00:33:35,211
- LITA: Can you help me?
- JUAN: Yeah.
- 723
- 00:33:35,305 --> 00:33:36,671
- LITA: Whoa! Whoa!
- 724
- 00:33:37,182 --> 00:33:38,222
- JUAN: Look at this, Lita.
- 725
- 00:33:39,851 --> 00:33:41,412
- Hey, Lizzy, want me to show you your room?
- 726
- 00:33:41,436 --> 00:33:43,268
- Okay. Yeah.
- It's just here.
- 727
- 00:33:43,688 --> 00:33:46,459
- ELLIE: I'm so sorry you have to carry
- all your stuff in these awful bags.
- 728
- 00:33:46,483 --> 00:33:48,850
- If we knew...
- No, no, it's cool.
- 729
- 00:33:49,486 --> 00:33:52,570
- Fun fact: That's actually
- how you can spot a foster kid.
- 730
- 00:33:52,656 --> 00:33:55,319
- The kid carrying her whole life
- in a Hefty bag.
- 731
- 00:33:56,618 --> 00:33:58,075
- It's a foster joke.
- 732
- 00:33:58,495 --> 00:33:59,656
- Well, make yourself at home.
- 733
- 00:33:59,746 --> 00:34:02,226
- Yeah, this is your place.
- You can do whatever you want with it.
- 734
- 00:34:02,290 --> 00:34:04,130
- Do you wanna put posters
- on the wall, paint it?
- 735
- 00:34:04,167 --> 00:34:07,535
- Yeah. Come on, this is what we do.
- We can knock that out in 20 minutes.
- 736
- 00:34:07,629 --> 00:34:09,829
- Run down to the hardware store,
- pick any color you like.
- 737
- 00:34:09,881 --> 00:34:11,088
- What do you say?
- Any color.
- 738
- 00:34:11,174 --> 00:34:12,527
- Just pick a color.
- What do you like?
- 739
- 00:34:12,551 --> 00:34:13,986
- Any color you want.
- Anything you want.
- 740
- 00:34:14,010 --> 00:34:16,370
- Pick a color, we're doing it.
- You'd look great in green.
- 741
- 00:34:20,684 --> 00:34:22,220
- Yeah.
- 742
- 00:34:22,644 --> 00:34:23,680
- What do you think?
- 743
- 00:34:25,146 --> 00:34:29,937
- Wow, uh, it's, yeah,
- darkest of the black tones.
- 744
- 00:34:30,026 --> 00:34:32,894
- Yeah, that's what she picked.
- Dark Kettle Black, huh?
- 745
- 00:34:33,530 --> 00:34:35,943
- I like it. It's really... dope.
- 746
- 00:34:37,617 --> 00:34:40,576
- (SIGHS) I'm gonna get dinner started.
- Okay.
- 747
- 00:34:40,954 --> 00:34:42,754
- She doesn't like it.
- I think she loves it.
- 748
- 00:34:43,331 --> 00:34:44,913
- Well, you know her better than I do.
- 749
- 00:34:49,170 --> 00:34:51,002
- Hey.
- Hey, you all done in there?
- 750
- 00:34:51,089 --> 00:34:54,253
- Oh, yeah. And... she loves it.
- 751
- 00:34:54,342 --> 00:34:57,210
- Oh, great. I'm so glad
- that she loves her black bedroom.
- 752
- 00:34:57,304 --> 00:35:01,014
- So, I'm gonna register Juan and Lita
- at Harding in the morning,
- 753
- 00:35:01,099 --> 00:35:02,939
- and then you can take Lizzy
- to the high school.
- 754
- 00:35:02,976 --> 00:35:06,310
- Did you see their shoes? We might want
- to take them to the mall tomorrow.
- 755
- 00:35:06,396 --> 00:35:07,637
- Hey, kids, dinner!
- 756
- 00:35:08,565 --> 00:35:11,023
- What? That sounds insane
- coming out of your mouth.
- 757
- 00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:13,066
- Do we have kids?
- Yeah, three of 'em.
- 758
- 00:35:13,153 --> 00:35:15,395
- That's insane. I don't believe it.
- 759
- 00:35:15,488 --> 00:35:18,026
- Did you not know that?
- 'Cause they're really here.
- 760
- 00:35:18,742 --> 00:35:20,449
- Holy shit. Holy shit.
- Yeah.
- 761
- 00:35:20,535 --> 00:35:22,151
- Yeah, they're here.
- 762
- 00:35:22,245 --> 00:35:23,531
- I love you.
- 763
- 00:35:23,997 --> 00:35:26,865
- Ew! (LAUGHING)
- 764
- 00:35:26,958 --> 00:35:27,958
- What?
- What?
- 765
- 00:35:28,043 --> 00:35:29,250
- Kiss again! Kiss again!
- 766
- 00:35:29,336 --> 00:35:31,293
- God.
- Mmm!
- 767
- 00:35:31,379 --> 00:35:32,870
- Ew!
- Ew!
- 768
- 00:35:32,964 --> 00:35:34,375
- Mwah!
- 769
- 00:35:34,466 --> 00:35:36,549
- What about that one?
- Kiss again! Kiss again!
- 770
- 00:35:36,635 --> 00:35:38,718
- It's gonna be long and weird.
- 771
- 00:35:38,803 --> 00:35:40,089
- Mmm!
- Ew!
- 772
- 00:35:40,180 --> 00:35:41,637
- Mwah!
- 773
- 00:35:41,723 --> 00:35:43,075
- PETE: How 'bout that?
- ELLIE: How 'bout that?
- 774
- 00:35:43,099 --> 00:35:45,842
- All right, come on, giggly. Sit down.
- I'm gonna shift the plates.
- 775
- 00:35:45,935 --> 00:35:48,289
- ELLIE: Great. We have everything.
- We have burgers and pasta and...
- 776
- 00:35:48,313 --> 00:35:49,645

- 00:48:58,185 --> 00:49:00,973
- But you just said she won't let us.
- Nope, she won't.
- 1085
- 00:49:01,063 --> 00:49:03,250
- You know, Karen, you've been
- a godsend through most of this,
- 1086
- 00:49:03,274 --> 00:49:04,890
- but you're just about to piss me off!
- 1087
- 00:49:04,984 --> 00:49:08,853
- Pete, you won't get anywhere with her
- until you two get on the same page.
- 1088
- 00:49:08,946 --> 00:49:10,403
- Right?
- That's right.
- 1089
- 00:49:10,489 --> 00:49:12,697
- And, you know,
- if she's hostile with you again,
- 1090
- 00:49:12,783 --> 00:49:14,615
- maybe try using the three R's.
- 1091
- 00:49:14,702 --> 00:49:17,490
- Okay? Number one: Regulate.
- 1092
- 00:49:17,913 --> 00:49:21,406
- "Lizzy, why don't you take
- some deep breaths, count to ten."
- 1093
- 00:49:21,500 --> 00:49:23,583
- Number two: Relate.
- 1094
- 00:49:23,669 --> 00:49:25,331
- "I understand that you're upset.
- 1095
- 00:49:25,421 --> 00:49:27,083
- Nobody likes to feel this way."
- 1096
- 00:49:27,173 --> 00:49:30,132
- (WHISPERS) That's good.
- Number three: Reason.
- 1097
- 00:49:30,217 --> 00:49:32,709
- "Lizzy, it's okay to be angry.
- 1098
- 00:49:33,095 --> 00:49:36,429
- What's not okay
- is to threaten to slash our throats
- 1099
- 00:49:36,515 --> 00:49:38,472
- in the middle of the night
- when we're asleep."
- 1100
- 00:49:38,559 --> 00:49:39,766
- Hmm?
- What?
- 1101
- 00:49:39,852 --> 00:49:41,309
- I'm sorry, did I...?
- 1102
- 00:49:41,395 --> 00:49:43,057
- That was actually us. Our story.
- 1103
- 00:49:43,147 --> 00:49:44,263
- Yeah.
- Last session.
- 1104
- 00:49:44,815 --> 00:49:46,626
- The little guy didn't
- follow through with it though.
- 1105
- 00:49:46,650 --> 00:49:47,982
- (ALL LAUGHING)
- 1106
- 00:49:48,611 --> 00:49:50,477
- Well, not yet!
- Not yet.
- 1107
- 00:49:50,571 --> 00:49:51,857
- (ALL LAUGHING)
- 1108
- 00:49:51,947 --> 00:49:53,483
- Sorry, but we shouldn't be laughing.
- 1109
- 00:49:53,574 --> 00:49:57,659
- No, it's actually important to have
- a sense of humor about this kind of thing.
- 1110
- 00:49:57,745 --> 00:50:00,909
- That's right. You gotta laugh
- or you'll never make it through this.
- 1111
- 00:50:00,998 --> 00:50:01,998
- That is right.
- 1112
- 00:50:02,416 --> 00:50:05,329
- Speaking of which,
- next up we have October,
- 1113
- 00:50:05,669 --> 00:50:07,877
- who still hasn't been matched
- with a child.
- 1114
- 00:50:07,963 --> 00:50:09,545
- Well, there's some good news.
- 1115
- 00:50:09,632 --> 00:50:12,375
- (ALL LAUGHING)
- Ha-ha-ha.
- 1116
- 00:50:12,468 --> 00:50:15,836
- So, together we're all gonna decide
- which chore we'd like to do
- 1117
- 00:50:15,930 --> 00:50:17,842
- and then each week we'll mix it up.
- 1118
- 00:50:17,932 --> 00:50:20,094
- Can I do "Feed Meatball"?
- Yes!
- 1119
- 00:50:20,184 --> 00:50:23,473
- I want to feed Meatball!
- You can feed him next week.
- 1120
- 00:50:23,562 --> 00:50:25,645
- Pete, I hope she's not serious
- about all this.
- 1121
- 00:50:25,731 --> 00:50:28,690
- It's not just she, it's we.
- And we are. Very serious.
- 1122
- 00:50:28,776 --> 00:50:30,456
- Okay, so you want us
- to wash your feet too?
- 1123
- 00:50:30,528 --> 00:50:32,144
- Oh, Lizzy.
- This is bullshit!
- 1124
- 00:50:32,238 --> 00:50:33,945
- Lizzy! Hey, hey, wait, wait!
- 1125
- 00:50:34,031 --> 00:50:35,147
- Lizzy. Let's just...
- 1126
- 00:50:35,241 --> 00:50:38,484
- Let's try something else.
- Can we just take a moment,
- 1127
- 00:50:39,203 --> 00:50:41,160
- calm down, and take a few breaths?
- 1128
- 00:50:41,247 --> 00:50:42,613
- (INHALES, EXHALES)
- Please?
- 1129
- 00:50:43,874 --> 00:50:44,874
- PETE: Try it.
- 1130
- 00:50:45,084 --> 00:50:47,918
- (INHALES, EXHALES)
- 1131
- 00:50:49,964 --> 00:50:51,171
- Nice! Nice.
- 1132
- 00:50:51,257 --> 00:50:53,151
- And we hear you
- that you're frustrated with the chart.
- 1133
- 00:50:53,175 --> 00:50:54,882
- Well, yeah. Yeah, I'm frustrated.
- 1134
- 00:50:54,969 --> 00:50:58,462
- Yes! And that's okay to be frustrated!
- We're all frustrated.
- 1135
- 00:50:58,556 --> 00:51:01,594
- So let's think about next time
- how we can express ourselves better.
- 1136
- 00:51:01,684 --> 00:51:03,641
- Okay. Okay. Well...
- 1137
- 00:51:04,645 --> 00:51:08,104
- I don't know, maybe next time you guys...
- 1138
- 00:51:08,941 --> 00:51:11,274
- try and use the three R's on me,
- 1139
- 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,727
- I could barf all over the ground
- because it's so nauseating!
- 1140
- 00:51:13,821 --> 00:51:15,528
- I knew it wasn't gonna work with her.
- 1141
- 00:51:15,614 --> 00:51:18,072
- Oh, good! You're home!
- 1142
- 00:51:18,409 --> 00:51:19,616
- Hi!
- 1143
- 00:51:19,702 --> 00:51:22,035
- Mom, I told you to text or call.
- 1144
- 00:51:22,121 --> 00:51:24,238
- You told me to give you
- a few weeks to settle in.
- 1145
- 00:51:24,331 --> 00:51:27,415
- Well, it's been a few weeks,
- and I want to meet my new grandkids.
- 1146
- 00:51:27,501 --> 00:51:29,288
- You must be Lizzy. Come here!
- 1147
- 00:51:29,378 --> 00:51:31,540
- No, she doesn't like it when you...
- Come here!
- 1148
- 00:51:31,630 --> 00:51:34,168
- Oh! I'm your Grandma Sandy.
- 1149
- 00:51:34,258 --> 00:51:37,092
- Anyone ever starts shit with any of you,
- they have to deal with me.
- 1150
- 00:51:37,553 --> 00:51:40,091
- We're family now,
- and I got your back forever. You hear me?
- 1151
- 00:51:40,180 --> 00:51:41,421
- Mom, just take it easy. Please.
- 1152
- 00:51:41,515 --> 00:51:44,474
- Oh, my God! Will you look at them!
- 1153
- 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,143
- Juan, Lita, this is Sandy.
- This is Pete's mom.
- 1154
- 00:51:47,229 --> 00:51:48,845
- Hi!
- Hi!
- 1155
- 00:51:48,939 --> 00:51:50,521
- I could just eat you two up!
- 1156
- 00:51:50,608 --> 00:51:52,190
- And how's my baby boy?
- 1157
- 00:51:52,276 --> 00:51:54,142
- Oh!
- 1158
- 00:51:54,236 --> 00:51:55,443
- (CHUCKLES)
- 1159
- 00:51:56,363 --> 00:51:57,820
- (CLEARS THROAT) Hello, dear.
- Hi.
- 1160
- 00:51:57,906 --> 00:51:59,217
- Mom, you gotta give us a few minutes.
- 1161
- 00:51:59,241 --> 00:52:01,011
- We were just in the middle
- of a family meeting.
- 1162
- 00:52:01,035 --> 00:52:03,152
- Perfect, because I'm a member
- of the family.
- 1163
- 00:52:03,579 --> 00:52:06,071
- Grandma Sandy has an announcement to make.
- 1164
- 00:52:06,165 --> 00:52:08,953
- I got the whole family
- tickets to Six Flags!
- 1165
- 00:52:09,043 --> 00:52:10,204
- Yay!
- Yay!
- 1166
- 00:52:10,294 --> 00:52:12,411
- (LAUGHS)
- What's Six Flags?
- 1167
- 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:13,996
- "What's Six Flags?"
- 1168
- 00:52:14,089 --> 00:52:15,921
- Mom, you know what?
- That's such a nice offer,
- 1169
- 00:52:16,008 --> 00:52:18,591
- but things have been
- a little chaotic around here,
- 1170
- 00:52:18,677 --> 00:52:19,957
- and we need things to be normal.
- 1171
- 00:52:20,262 --> 00:52:24,302
- I'll tell you what's not normal, is your
- kids not knowing what Six Flags is.
- 1172
- 00:52:25,559 --> 00:52:26,970
- Your kids.
- 1173
- 00:52:28,646 --> 00:52:31,639
- Ma, it's just not a good time,
- so we're not doing this, okay?
- 1174
- 00:52:31,732 --> 00:52:34,628
- We're not doing this, right? We're on the
- same page because of the structure thing?
- 1175
- 00:52:34,652 --> 00:52:35,893
- Yeah, yeah.
- 1176
- 00:52:36,695 --> 00:52:38,652
- Honey? Right, El?
- 1177
- 00:52:38,739 --> 00:52:41,072
- (SCREAMING)
- 1178
- 00:52:43,619 --> 00:52:46,111
- I did not cave.
- Oh, you caved.
- 1179
- 00:52:46,205 --> 00:52:47,821
- Lizzy gave you the look and you caved.
- 1180
- 00:52:47,915 --> 00:52:51,079
- (STAMMERS) Okay, so maybe I just wanted
- to be the fun parent for once
- 1181
- 00:52:51,168 --> 00:52:52,534
- instead of being the bad guy.
- 1182
- 00:52:52,628 --> 00:52:54,397
- I tried being the bad guy.
- You wouldn't let me.
- 1183
- 00:52:54,421 --> 00:52:58,040
- Okay, fine. I'm sorry, I really am.
- But look how much fun everybody's having.
- 1184
- 00:52:58,133 --> 00:53:01,171
- And Lizzy, she's actually smiling.
- It's crazy.
- 1185
- 00:53:01,637 --> 00:53:02,923
- Hey! Did you have fun?
- 1186
- 00:53:03,013 --> 00:53:04,720
- You don't have to go on the kiddie rides.
- 1187
- 00:53:04,807 --> 00:53:06,799
- I love the big rides.
- You want to go on the...
- 1188
- 00:53:07,476 --> 00:53:08,717
- Hey, Lizzy!
- 1189
- 00:53:08,936 --> 00:53:10,768
- Hey, what's up?
- Hi!
- 1190
- 00:53:10,854 --> 00:53:12,846
- Good to see you!
- Good to see you too!
- 1191
- 00:53:14,358 --> 00:53:16,600
- Hey, hey. What's up?
- 1192
- 00:53:16,694 --> 00:53:19,812
- Uh, Kylie, Savanna, these are my, um...
- 1193
- 00:53:20,698 --> 00:53:21,698
- fosters.
- 1194
- 00:53:21,740 --> 00:53:23,948
- Yeah, yeah.
- We're the fosters!
- 1195
- 00:53:24,034 --> 00:53:25,512
- Right, so I'll see you guys later, okay?
- 1196
- 00:53:25,536 --> 00:53:27,528
- Actually we were just gonna go
- on the water ride.
- 1197
- 00:53:27,621 --> 00:53:29,203
- Oh, let her go with her friends.
- 1198
- 00:53:29,289 --> 00:53:32,623
- They don't want to be stuck here
- with a bunch of old farts like you two.
- 1199
- 00:53:32,710 --> 00:53:35,748
- They want to ride the big stuff
- and check out the hot boys.
- 1200
- 00:53:35,838 --> 00:53:38,000
- (CHUCKLES) Here's a hundred.
- 1201
- 00:53:38,090 --> 00:53:40,252
- Buy yourselves some souvenirs
- and junk food.
- 1202
- 00:53:40,342 --> 00:53:43,380
- Uh-huh.
- Thanks, Grandma Sandy. Thanks!
- 1203
- 00:53:43,470 --> 00:53:45,086
- All right, cool.
- 1204
- 00:53:45,180 --> 00:53:47,763
- Uh, okay, I'll meet you guys
- at the front at...
- 1205
- 00:53:47,850 --> 00:53:49,327
- What time are we going back to your house?
- 1206
- 00:53:49,351 --> 00:53:54,062
- We're going back to our house,
- where we all live, at 7:00!
- 1207
- 00:53:54,148 --> 00:53:56,105
- Okay, I'll see you then. Bye!
- 1208
- 00:53:56,191 --> 00:53:58,808
- Mom, what are you doing? You can't...
- Oh, no!
- 1209
- 00:53:58,902 --> 00:54:01,519
- Little Juanny's upchucking
- in the trash bin!

- You all right, peanut?
- 1211
- 00:54:04,032 --> 00:54:06,445
- Was it all the funnel cakes we ate?

- Oh. Oh, oh.

- I can see the dots.
- 1215

- PETE: Maybe she ran off, or
- maybe something happened to her.
- 1216
- 00:54:25,429 --> 00:54:28,593
- No, she didn't. She's just treating us
- like another set of fosters.

- 00:54:32,352 --> 00:54:34,093
- Thanks for the ride. I love you!

- Bye.

- Bye!

- Hey! Where the hell were you?
- 1224
- 00:54:41,069 --> 00:54:44,483
- We went to the movies, and it ran
- a little bit later. It's not a big deal.
- 1225
- 00:54:44,573 --> 00:54:47,190
- Really? You couldn't have taken
- five seconds to text or call us
- 1226
- 00:54:47,284 --> 00:54:49,526
- and let us know nobody murdered you?
- Well, guess what?
- 1227
- 00:54:49,620 --> 00:54:51,828
- You're grounded.
- I'm grounded?
- 1228
- 00:54:51,914 --> 00:54:53,874
- Yeah. You're grounded
- because I just grounded you.
- 1229
- 00:54:53,916 --> 00:54:55,643
- Before you weren't grounded,
- you weren't anything,
- 1230
- 00:54:55,667 --> 00:54:58,313
- and then I just said that thing
- that I said, and now you're grounded!
- 1231
- 00:54:58,337 --> 00:55:01,330
- We've been waiting one hour for you!
- I'm the bad guy. Calm down.
- 1232
- 00:55:01,423 --> 00:55:02,984
- He's the bad guy.
- You're not going anywhere.
- 1233
- 00:55:03,008 --> 00:55:04,215
- You're done!
- Done!
- 1234

- 00:55:08,138 --> 00:55:11,302
- So I'm pretty sure the multiplex
- is a comparatively safe environment.
- 1237

- SANDY: Oh, no. No.
- 1238
- 00:55:12,684 --> 00:55:14,641
- You don't play
- that troubled past card with us.
- 1239
- 00:55:15,062 --> 00:55:16,644
- Your butt's in a sling, Missy!
- 1240
- 00:55:16,730 --> 00:55:19,063
- Oh, Grandma Sandy, I forgot.
- What?
- 1241
- 00:55:19,149 --> 00:55:20,149
- I got you, um...
- 1242
- 00:55:22,152 --> 00:55:23,643
- Oh, sweet Jesus.
- 1243
- 00:55:23,737 --> 00:55:26,855
- Will you look at this?
- I'm gonna wear it every day.
- 1244
- 00:55:26,949 --> 00:55:28,906
- Oh, come here!
- 1245
- 00:55:29,952 --> 00:55:32,194
- You know, this reminds me of when Pete
- 1246
- 00:55:32,287 --> 00:55:34,950
- and his little degenerate friends
- stole a pizza truck.
- 1247

- She's good. She's good.
- Oh, God.
- 1248
- 00:55:37,584 --> 00:55:39,325
- You two gonna stand there all night,
- 1249
- 00:55:39,419 --> 00:55:42,332
- or do we try to get these kids to bed
- at a decent hour?
- 1250
- 00:55:42,798 --> 00:55:45,109
- You remember I told you
- we weren't special enough for this?
- 1251
- 00:55:45,133 --> 00:55:47,375
- We were doing fine.
- You said that we were in a rut.
- 1252
- 00:55:47,469 --> 00:55:49,239
- Maybe we were spoiled
- and didn't appreciate the rut.
- 1253
- 00:55:49,263 --> 00:55:51,343
- The rut was easy and quiet.
- You know, I miss the rut.
- 1254
- 00:55:51,390 --> 00:55:52,676
- But you had to be a mommy.
- 1255
- 00:55:52,766 --> 00:55:55,133
- Whose idea was it
- to go and talk to the teenagers?
- 1256
- 00:55:55,227 --> 00:55:57,831
- We could've had a toddler who doesn't
- have opinions and thong underwear.
- 1257
- 00:55:57,855 --> 00:56:00,222
- What?
- You pushed us into some next-level shit!
- 1258
- 00:56:00,315 --> 00:56:02,352
- Look, we can't start
- turning on each other here.
- 1259
- 00:56:02,442 --> 00:56:05,059
- If we just stay calm and we work together,
- 1260
- 00:56:05,153 --> 00:56:08,066
- we can find a way to get
- these little assholes out of our house!
- 1261
- 00:56:09,157 --> 00:56:10,176
- Now we're talking!
- Right?
- 1262
- 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,533
- That's exactly what I was thinking.
- Hello!
- 1263
- 00:56:12,619 --> 00:56:15,453
- I hate them so much.
- Me too. They're the worst.
- 1264
- 00:56:15,539 --> 00:56:17,826
- They're so ungrateful.
- We're doing everything for them.
- 1265
- 00:56:17,916 --> 00:56:19,703
- And they could give two shits.
- Right?
- 1266
- 00:56:19,793 --> 00:56:21,034
- But guess what?
- 1267
- 00:56:21,128 --> 00:56:22,414
- They're not adopted yet.
- 1268
- 00:56:22,504 --> 00:56:24,996
- No. No, they're not.
- 1269
- 00:56:25,090 --> 00:56:26,331
- We could just...
- 1270
- 00:56:27,801 --> 00:56:28,801
- put 'em back.
- 1271
- 00:56:29,177 --> 00:56:32,295
- I mean, yes, we would look like
- the worst people in the world, but...
- 1272
- 00:56:32,389 --> 00:56:34,802
- Yeah, we would. And right now
- everybody thinks we're saints.
- 1273
- 00:56:34,892 --> 00:56:36,258
- I know. I love that part.
- 1274
- 00:56:36,351 --> 00:56:38,263
- I do love that part.
- That's the only good part.
- 1275
- 00:56:39,730 --> 00:56:40,846
- Just an idea.
- 1276
- 00:56:41,481 --> 00:56:44,019
- What if we say
- that some relatives came forward?
- 1277
- 00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,526
- The courts took 'em.
- There's nothing we could do.
- 1278
- 00:56:46,862 --> 00:56:49,821
- Right? We squirt a few tears,
- we act super devastated.
- 1279
- 00:56:49,907 --> 00:56:51,819
- That's good. That's good.
- That's very good.
- 1280
- 00:56:51,909 --> 00:56:54,447
- And we get our clean house
- and date night back.
- 1281
- 00:56:54,828 --> 00:56:57,821
- And everybody feels sorry for us.
- 1282
- 00:56:57,915 --> 00:56:58,996
- Yes!
- Right?
- 1283
- 00:56:59,082 --> 00:57:00,493

- No.

- We're stuck, aren't we?
- Yeah, we are.
- 1289

- You know, we gotta just accept
- that we made a terrible mistake
- 1290

- 01:01:31,271 --> 01:01:32,637
- Come here.
- Hey, I'm right here.
- 1389
- 01:01:32,731 --> 01:01:33,972
- He's okay.
- 1390
- 01:01:34,065 --> 01:01:35,601
- You're so brave.
- 1391
- 01:01:36,985 --> 01:01:38,601
- You're doing so good, buddy.
- 1392
- 01:01:41,448 --> 01:01:43,690
- So he doesn't have to wear
- a cast or anything?
- 1393
- 01:01:43,783 --> 01:01:44,990
- It's just stitches?
- Yeah.
- 1394
- 01:01:45,076 --> 01:01:46,676
- Well, that's good news.
- ELLIE: Yeah.
- 1395
- 01:01:47,162 --> 01:01:49,654
- And how did this happen?
- 1396
- 01:01:49,748 --> 01:01:51,159
- It was my fault. I walked away,
- 1397
- 01:01:51,249 --> 01:01:53,457
- and I left the gun there.
- Juan just picked it up.
- 1398
- 01:01:53,543 --> 01:01:55,660
- No. It wasn't their fault. It was mine.
- 1399
- 01:01:56,338 --> 01:01:58,524
- I was trying to leave in a car
- and I wasn't supposed to,
- 1400
- 01:01:58,548 --> 01:02:01,086
- and then they got distracted,
- and then I yelled at Juan,
- 1401
- 01:02:01,176 --> 01:02:02,528
- and he dropped the thing on his foot...
- 1402
- 01:02:02,552 --> 01:02:05,239
- Sweetie, don't be ridiculous. I should
- never have left the nail gun there.
- 1403
- 01:02:05,263 --> 01:02:08,222
- Pete, shut up! This is the kind of stuff
- they move kids for, okay?
- 1404
- 01:02:08,308 --> 01:02:10,036
- It wasn't their fault.
- They didn't do anything.
- 1405
- 01:02:10,060 --> 01:02:11,980
- I should be the one
- getting in trouble right now.
- 1406
- 01:02:12,062 --> 01:02:14,930
- It's okay. Why don't you, uh,
- come on over here? Excuse me.
- 1407
- 01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:18,228
- And, uh, let's talk about what happened.
- 1408
- 01:02:21,529 --> 01:02:23,020
- (MOUTHING WORDS)
- 1409
- 01:02:23,573 --> 01:02:26,486
- So, uh, nobody's being moved.
- 1410
- 01:02:36,044 --> 01:02:37,751
- Hey. What's wrong?
- 1411
- 01:02:38,255 --> 01:02:41,043
- Uh, I have no idea.
- I just woke up this morning and...
- 1412
- 01:02:41,925 --> 01:02:43,211
- Damn it. (LAUGHS)
- 1413
- 01:02:43,677 --> 01:02:45,464
- You know what? I think I can help.
- 1414
- 01:02:48,265 --> 01:02:49,472
- I have a...
- 1415
- 01:02:50,225 --> 01:02:52,638
- I have this really great detangler.
- You want me to...?
- 1416
- 01:02:54,604 --> 01:02:56,641
- Sure, yeah. Yeah, whatever, yeah.
- Yeah?
- 1417
- 01:02:56,731 --> 01:02:58,222
- Okay, uh, here.
- 1418
- 01:02:59,401 --> 01:03:02,644
- Have a seat, and I'll... Yeah.
- 1419
- 01:03:03,154 --> 01:03:04,645
- Okay. (CHUCKLES)
- 1420
- 01:03:04,739 --> 01:03:07,527
- Wow, how'd this happen?
- I don't know.
- 1421
- 01:03:07,617 --> 01:03:08,448
- Yeah.
- 1422
- 01:03:08,535 --> 01:03:10,197
- Just let me know if it pulls, okay?
- 1423
- 01:03:18,420 --> 01:03:20,377
- Okay. That's good.
- 1424
- 01:03:21,131 --> 01:03:23,874
- Better, yeah?
- Oh, wow. Yeah. Thank you.
- 1425
- 01:03:24,175 --> 01:03:26,212
- Let me just smooth it out for you.
- 1426
- 01:03:57,167 --> 01:03:58,328
- Thank you.
- 1427
- 01:03:59,836 --> 01:04:02,078
- No problem. It's all gone.
- 1428
- 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,187
- You all set?
- Yep.
- 1429
- 01:04:20,273 --> 01:04:22,356
- Hey, thanks for the lunch.
- No problem.
- 1430
- 01:04:25,904 --> 01:04:27,361
- Oh, is that that boy Jacob?
- 1431
- 01:04:27,447 --> 01:04:29,247
- The one that just picked up
- that bit of trash?
- 1432
- 01:04:30,033 --> 01:04:32,946
- Don't freak out about it.
- No! Why would I freak out about it?
- 1433
- 01:04:33,411 --> 01:04:35,573
- He looks like an artistic type,
- like you said.
- 1434
- 01:04:35,663 --> 01:04:37,279
- You think so?
- Definitely!
- 1435
- 01:04:37,749 --> 01:04:39,081
- Look at that face.
- Yeah.
- 1436
- 01:04:39,167 --> 01:04:41,534
- Conscientious. Picking up trash.
- 1437
- 01:04:41,628 --> 01:04:43,961
- Yeah. Yeah, he is. Yeah.
- 1438
- 01:04:45,006 --> 01:04:46,338
- Well, have a good day.
- 1439
- 01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:48,507
- Thanks. You too.
- Okay.
- 1440
- 01:04:48,927 --> 01:04:51,294
- All right. Careful with your foot, Juan.
- Bye, Lita.
- 1441
- 01:04:52,222 --> 01:04:53,588
- Well, did you see that?
- 1442
- 01:04:54,099 --> 01:04:56,019
- Definitely starting to hate me
- a bit less, right?
- 1443
- 01:04:56,059 --> 01:04:57,059
- Maybe.
- 1444
- 01:05:00,438 --> 01:05:02,270
- Hi, Lizzy.
- Hey, Charlie.
- 1445
- 01:05:04,275 --> 01:05:05,311
- Hi, Jacob.
- 1446
- 01:05:06,611 --> 01:05:07,897
- Wassup, baby girl?
- 1447
- 01:05:07,987 --> 01:05:10,070
- Nothing. How you doing?
- 1448
- 01:05:10,865 --> 01:05:12,447
- I'm good. Cleaning up your mess.
- 1449
- 01:05:12,534 --> 01:05:14,070
- (CHUCKLES)
- 1450
- 01:05:16,121 --> 01:05:18,681
- Well, why don't you get into school
- before you get me in trouble.
- 1451
- 01:05:18,998 --> 01:05:20,205
- All right, fine.
- 1452
- 01:05:20,542 --> 01:05:21,908
- Text me.
- Okay.
- 1453
- 01:05:29,342 --> 01:05:30,628
- (GROANS)
- 1454
- 01:05:30,718 --> 01:05:31,799
- (WHISTLE BLOWS)
- 1455
- 01:05:32,929 --> 01:05:34,295
- Hey, hon.
- Hey.
- 1456
- 01:05:34,389 --> 01:05:36,506
- Hi. How's she doing?
- She's good.
- 1457
- 01:05:36,599 --> 01:05:40,309
- Oh. Yeah. And check this out.
- I got here early, and Lizzy saw me,
- 1458
- 01:05:40,395 --> 01:05:43,229
- and she came over,
- and just starts talking.
- 1459
- 01:05:43,565 --> 01:05:44,646
- To you?
- Yeah!
- 1460
- 01:05:44,732 --> 01:05:47,975
- Not, like, full-on girl talk,
- but not the usual silent treatment either.
- 1461
- 01:05:48,069 --> 01:05:49,588
- She was telling me about that kid Jacob,
- 1462
- 01:05:49,612 --> 01:05:52,275
- and how he doesn't say much
- so she can't tell if he likes her.
- 1463
- 01:05:52,365 --> 01:05:55,654
- Next thing I know I'm in full mom mode,
- giving her advice, like,
- 1464
- 01:05:55,743 --> 01:05:58,702
- "Well, sometimes with the quiet types
- you'll have to make the first move."
- 1465
- 01:05:58,788 --> 01:06:01,531
- Wait. You said "make a move"?
- You told her to make a move on a boy?
- 1466
- 01:06:01,624 --> 01:06:04,241
- This kid is harmless, baby. Trust me.
- 1467
- 01:06:04,335 --> 01:06:07,135
- I'm thrilled she even likes him.
- I totally pegged her for the bad boys.
- 1468
- 01:06:07,172 --> 01:06:09,164
- (LITA CRYING)
- 1469
- 01:06:09,257 --> 01:06:10,443
- What happened?
- What happened?
- 1470
- 01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:11,833
- Juan broke Potato Chips.
- 1471
- 01:06:11,926 --> 01:06:14,213
- Calm down. I'm gonna fix her, okay?
- Here you go. See?
- 1472
- 01:06:14,304 --> 01:06:16,170
- Thanks, Daddy.
- 1473
- 01:06:18,683 --> 01:06:21,221
- Did you hear that?
- I just got my first "Daddy"!
- 1474
- 01:06:21,311 --> 01:06:22,311
- That's...
- 1475
- 01:06:22,395 --> 01:06:23,395
- You suck!
- 1476
- 01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,847
- No fair! I want some of that. Hey, honey.
- 1477
- 01:06:25,940 --> 01:06:28,683
- Lita, can I help you with anything?
- Nope!
- 1478
- 01:06:28,776 --> 01:06:30,358
- No, what? Are you talking to me?
- 1479
- 01:06:30,445 --> 01:06:31,777
- Who am I?
- Ellie.
- 1480
- 01:06:31,863 --> 01:06:34,105
- Juan. Buddy, come here!
- 1481
- 01:06:34,991 --> 01:06:35,991
- Come here, Son.
- 1482
- 01:06:36,534 --> 01:06:39,072
- How's your foot? You okay?
- You okay if I call you "Son"?
- 1483
- 01:06:39,162 --> 01:06:40,744
- Sure.
- (SIGHS)
- 1484
- 01:06:42,165 --> 01:06:43,684
- Where's Lizzy?
- Right there. See her?
- 1485
- 01:06:43,708 --> 01:06:44,869
- Oh, yeah, she's right there.
- 1486

- (DRAWER SLAMS)
- 1487
- 01:07:31,965 --> 01:07:34,026
- She just comes out here,
- she takes all this stuff out,
- 1488
- 01:07:34,050 --> 01:07:36,588
- and she can't bother
- with the one second it takes
- 1489
- 01:07:36,678 --> 01:07:39,136
- to close a stupid door
- or put anything in the sink.
- 1490
- 01:07:39,222 --> 01:07:40,222
- What happened?
- 1491
- 01:07:40,265 --> 01:07:43,008
- I found my hairbrush
- in the toilet this morning.
- 1492
- 01:07:43,101 --> 01:07:44,821
- What?
- LIZZY: I told you that wasn't me!
- 1493
- 01:07:44,852 --> 01:07:47,310
- Of course it was you.
- I left it in the bathroom for you!
- 1494
- 01:07:47,397 --> 01:07:49,104
- Juan and Lita aren't even up yet.
- 1495
- 01:07:49,190 --> 01:07:51,398
- I'm up now, Miss Noisy Pants.
- 1496
- 01:07:51,484 --> 01:07:52,941
- I'm sorry, sweetie.
- 1497
- 01:07:53,027 --> 01:07:54,467
- I thought we were really connecting.
- 1498
- 01:07:54,529 --> 01:07:57,818
- I left it there for her with a nice little
- note, with hearts on it and stuff.
- 1499
- 01:07:57,907 --> 01:07:59,387
- PETE: Oh, my God.
- I didn't do it.
- 1500
- 01:07:59,450 --> 01:08:00,657
- Wow. Hello.
- What is that?
- 1501
- 01:08:00,743 --> 01:08:02,826
- You're wearing that?
- Are you going to a strip club?
- 1502
- 01:08:02,912 --> 01:08:05,279
- Sorry I don't dress
- like an uptight douche like you.
- 1503
- 01:08:05,373 --> 01:08:07,017
- No, no.
- You don't talk to my wife like that!
- 1504
- 01:08:07,041 --> 01:08:08,248
- This is from Ann Taylor. Loft!
- 1505
- 01:08:08,334 --> 01:08:10,621
- You know what?
- Go put some clothes on, a lot of them,
- 1506
- 01:08:10,712 --> 01:08:12,565
- then get in my truck.
- I'm driving you this morning.
- 1507
- 01:08:12,589 --> 01:08:15,127
- Oh, my God! You guys are so annoying!
- 1508
- 01:08:15,216 --> 01:08:18,050
- Change the clothes.
- It's not that big of a deal.
- 1509
- 01:08:18,136 --> 01:08:19,752
- Hey.
- Do I dress like a douche?
- 1510
- 01:08:19,846 --> 01:08:21,712
- No. Make sure she gets down to my truck.
- 1511
- 01:08:21,806 --> 01:08:23,889
- Bye, Daddy.
- Bye, sweetie.

- Hey, what's that? Oh!

- Oh!

- You okay?
- 1518
- 01:08:47,707 --> 01:08:48,707
- That's a shame.

- Let's go.

- Come on.
- 1524
- 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,268
- Okay. So you're punishing me
- with manual labor.
- 1525
- 01:09:10,355 --> 01:09:13,598
- I've worked harder than you've ever...
- Yeah, I know, you're a badass.
- 1526
- 01:09:13,691 --> 01:09:14,932
- This isn't a punishment, okay?

- 01:09:15,026 --> 01:09:18,190
- Hey! I'm Stewart. You probably...
- 1528
- 01:09:18,279 --> 01:09:19,895
- You... What's up? What's up?
- 1529
- 01:09:19,989 --> 01:09:22,527
- Stewart.
- Don't ever talk to her again, okay?
- 1530
- 01:09:22,617 --> 01:09:25,280
- As a matter of fact, go to lunch.
- It's 8:15.
- 1531
- 01:09:26,871 --> 01:09:28,533
- Okay. Lunch it is.
- 1532
- 01:09:29,582 --> 01:09:30,582
- Come on.
- 1533
- 01:09:33,836 --> 01:09:35,577
- Put these on.
- What?
- 1534
- 01:09:35,672 --> 01:09:36,753
- Just put them on.

- Lizzy, I know you're angry.
- 1536
- 01:09:39,425 --> 01:09:41,041
- At us, at the world.
- 1537
- 01:09:41,135 --> 01:09:42,592
- Maybe at yourself a little bit.
- 1538
- 01:09:42,679 --> 01:09:44,170
- I don't know, and you're not talking.
- 1539
- 01:09:44,263 --> 01:09:47,347
- Truth is, when I'm pissed,
- I don't like to talk about it, either.
- 1540
- 01:09:47,433 --> 01:09:48,793
- But you know what I do like to do?

- Oh!
- I like to break shit.

- Hey.

- I don't know if you guys remember us,
- Pete and Ellie from foster orientation?
- 1864
- 01:26:23,887 --> 01:26:25,594
- Oh, yeah.
- Hi. How you doing?
- 1865
- 01:26:26,431 --> 01:26:28,673

- PETE: So now she wants to
- come back and be Mommy again.
- 1867
- 01:26:31,812 --> 01:26:33,644
- And it looks like she's got a real shot.
- 1868
- 01:26:33,730 --> 01:26:35,938
- I mean, Lizzy, she's treating us
- like we're the enemy.
- 1869
- 01:26:36,024 --> 01:26:37,664
- So now we don't know what the hell to do.
- 1870
- 01:26:38,068 --> 01:26:40,481
- So I just thought, I mean,
- your daughter turned out so great.
- 1871
- 01:26:40,570 --> 01:26:41,856
- Is she up there studying?
- 1872

- Hey, Brenda, you gonna come down?
- 1873
- 01:26:43,782 --> 01:26:47,617
- I thought maybe we could speak with her,
- and she'd get us pumped up like before.
- 1874
- 01:26:47,703 --> 01:26:50,946
- Is that a possibility?
- Yeah, that'd be great. She was amazing.
- 1875
- 01:26:51,039 --> 01:26:52,826
- We could use a pep talk right now.

- back in rehab.

- Excuse me, what?
- We caught her using a couple months ago.
- 1879

- heartwarming, goddamn speech
- 1881

- Brenda has struggled with substance abuse
- 1885
- 01:27:14,730 --> 01:27:17,564
- ever since her mother's boyfriend
- started her on meth when she was 11.
- 1886
- 01:27:17,649 --> 01:27:19,231
- Sometimes she stumbles.
- 1887
- 01:27:19,317 --> 01:27:20,433
- But she is a good kid,
- 1888
- 01:27:20,527 --> 01:27:23,486
- and she's in there doing the work,
- getting herself clean.
- 1889

- So you don't know what's gonna happen.
- 1890
- 01:27:25,532 --> 01:27:26,739
- And this has you feeling what?
- 1891
- 01:27:26,825 --> 01:27:29,238
- Frustrated? Scared? Lost? Is that it?
- 1892
- 01:27:30,620 --> 01:27:35,365
- Yes! I'm a little afraid to say anything,
- but yes, that's basically how we feel.
- 1893
- 01:27:35,459 --> 01:27:38,293
- That's how your children feel
- every day of their lives.
- 1894
- 01:27:39,129 --> 01:27:40,665
- When you took this on,
- 1895
- 01:27:40,756 --> 01:27:44,625
- you felt good about yourself
- because you knew that it mattered, right?
- 1896

- gets her inspiring speech thing.

- Listen, guys,
- right now, you're all they've got.

- 01:33:04,871 --> 01:33:07,705
- She doesn't hate you.
- She just thinks you don't love her.
- 2016
- 01:33:08,166 --> 01:33:09,828
- And that statement ain't gonna help.
- 2017
- 01:33:14,214 --> 01:33:15,500
- Did Lizzy tell you that?
- 2018
- 01:33:15,590 --> 01:33:18,924
- Come on, Ellie.
- I grew up a lot like that kid.
- 2019
- 01:33:19,010 --> 01:33:21,923
- You get reminded what a sack
- of shit you are five times a day,
- 2020
- 01:33:22,013 --> 01:33:23,470
- after a while,
- 2021
- 01:33:23,556 --> 01:33:25,343
- you can't believe anyone
- could ever love you.
- 2022
- 01:33:30,021 --> 01:33:32,479
- You know that we love you, right?
- 2023
- 01:33:34,150 --> 01:33:35,311
- No.
- 2024
- 01:33:35,401 --> 01:33:37,017
- But that's not you, it's me.
- 2025
- 01:33:37,112 --> 01:33:38,648
- I thought I just covered all that.
- 2026
- 01:33:44,744 --> 01:33:46,155
- But I do love you both.
- 2027
- 01:33:47,664 --> 01:33:49,030
- Get some sleep, kids.
- 2028
- 01:33:49,457 --> 01:33:52,825
- After you fix that god-awful statement.
- 2029
- 01:33:53,419 --> 01:33:54,626
- Wow.
- 2030
- 01:33:55,046 --> 01:33:56,046
- (DOOR CLOSES)
- 2031
- 01:34:00,176 --> 01:34:01,917
- It's so clean and quiet in here.
- 2032
- 01:34:03,596 --> 01:34:04,928
- I know.
- 2033
- 01:34:06,933 --> 01:34:08,424
- I hate it.
- 2034
- 01:34:09,435 --> 01:34:10,846
- Me too.
- 2035
- 01:34:21,072 --> 01:34:22,279
- PETE: Hey.
- Hey.
- 2036
- 01:34:22,824 --> 01:34:23,824
- Guys.
- We are so sorry.
- 2037
- 01:34:23,908 --> 01:34:25,570
- We are so sorry. Are you okay?
- 2038
- 01:34:26,286 --> 01:34:29,279
- Guess what? We got a ride in a police car.
- 2039
- 01:34:29,372 --> 01:34:31,329
- You did? Was that fun?
- 2040
- 01:34:31,416 --> 01:34:32,702
- Did you guys go to prison?
- 2041
- 01:34:32,792 --> 01:34:35,330
- No. We were... just in jail.
- 2042
- 01:34:35,420 --> 01:34:37,537
- Juan. Lita. Come on.
- 2043
- 01:34:38,047 --> 01:34:39,288
- Mom's here.
- Okay.
- 2044
- 01:34:51,144 --> 01:34:55,639
- Okay, folks, our.26 hearing is now
- a Change of Circumstance hearing
- 2045
- 01:34:55,732 --> 01:34:57,940
- for a Miss Carla Viara.
- 2046
- 01:34:58,401 --> 01:35:00,859
- And you are Miss Viara, yes?
- She is, Your Honor.
- 2047
- 01:35:00,945 --> 01:35:04,780
- And also with us today
- are Juan, Lita and Elizabeth Viara?
- 2048
- 01:35:04,866 --> 01:35:06,607
- Here.
- Here!
- 2049
- 01:35:06,701 --> 01:35:08,693
- And did you two each get a teddy bear?
- 2050
- 01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:11,282
- Yes!
- Oh, those are good ones.
- 2051
- 01:35:12,373 --> 01:35:14,740
- And you are Elizabeth?
- It's Lizzy, sir.
- 2052
- 01:35:14,834 --> 01:35:16,291
- I mean, Your Honor.
- 2053
- 01:35:16,377 --> 01:35:19,245
- And Lizzy, I understand that
- you've submitted a statement.
- 2054
- 01:35:21,090 --> 01:35:23,173
- And the foster parents,
- Mr. and Mrs. Wagner,
- 2055
- 01:35:23,259 --> 01:35:24,545
- are they present as well?
- 2056
- 01:35:25,261 --> 01:35:26,797
- Yes, Your Honor.
- 2057
- 01:35:26,888 --> 01:35:28,424
- And, Mr. and Mrs. Wagner,
- 2058
- 01:35:28,514 --> 01:35:31,427
- is it accurate that you left
- Juan and Lita alone in your car
- 2059
- 01:35:31,517 --> 01:35:34,009
- while you were being arrested
- for aggravated assault?
- 2060
- 01:35:34,103 --> 01:35:37,016
- Well, that...
- Yes, Your Honor, but in our defense...
- 2061
- 01:35:37,106 --> 01:35:39,894
- Sir, all I need to know
- is whether or not Lizzy is lying.
- 2062
- 01:35:40,652 --> 01:35:41,768
- No, she's not lying.
- 2063
- 01:35:42,195 --> 01:35:43,777
- And prior to that assault,
- 2064
- 01:35:43,863 --> 01:35:47,948
- did you accost a 14-year-old honor student
- in the same school yard
- 2065
- 01:35:48,034 --> 01:35:53,701
- and encourage him
- "to whip out his big, shaved plums"?
- 2066
- 01:35:54,499 --> 01:35:56,035
- I said that, Your Honor,
- 2067
- 01:35:56,125 --> 01:35:58,583
- but again I thought it was
- the person who sent her the...
- 2068
- 01:35:58,670 --> 01:36:03,506
- And Mrs. Wagner, did you at one time
- force Lizzy's friends to leave your home
- 2069
- 01:36:03,591 --> 01:36:05,082
- by way of a bedroom window?
- 2070
- 01:36:05,176 --> 01:36:08,544
- It was a ground floor window.
- Oh, good. Points for you.
- 2071
- 01:36:08,638 --> 01:36:09,879
- And at that same occasion,
- 2072
- 01:36:09,973 --> 01:36:13,637
- did you tell Lizzy to call CPS
- and to come and take the kids?
- 2073
- 01:36:13,726 --> 01:36:15,809
- She didn't mean that.
- I did not mean that.
- 2074
- 01:36:15,895 --> 01:36:17,602
- That was in the heat of an argument.
- 2075
- 01:36:17,689 --> 01:36:20,898
- Your Honor, I have a statement...
- Yes, I've read it, thank you.
- 2076
- 01:36:20,984 --> 01:36:24,443
- No, we actually wrote a new one.
- Ma'am, excuse me, but I have your...
- 2077
- 01:36:24,529 --> 01:36:26,340
- Please, Your Honor,
- we were up late working on it.
- 2078
- 01:36:26,364 --> 01:36:28,526
- I can read it very fast. (CLEARS THROAT)
- 2079
- 01:36:28,616 --> 01:36:30,653
- "Lizzy once asked us why we took them in.
- 2080
- 01:36:30,743 --> 01:36:32,735
- And at the time,
- we couldn't answer her..."
- 2081
- 01:36:32,829 --> 01:36:34,411
- Ma'am, please sit down.
- 2082
- 01:36:34,497 --> 01:36:37,535
- Please, Your Honor,
- can you let me say the answer?
- 2083
- 01:36:37,625 --> 01:36:39,332
- No. Sit.
- 2084
- 01:36:39,419 --> 01:36:41,502
- This hearing is not about you.
- 2085
- 01:36:41,587 --> 01:36:44,796
- Judging by Lizzy's statement,
- you might be back in court soon enough,
- 2086
- 01:36:44,882 --> 01:36:47,590
- so let's save that heartwarming speech
- for that occasion.
- 2087
- 01:36:48,803 --> 01:36:49,803
- Okay.
- 2088
- 01:36:50,179 --> 01:36:52,171
- Now, Miss Viara,
- 2089
- 01:36:52,265 --> 01:36:54,473
- I see that you've been
- keeping up with your visits.
- 2090
- 01:36:54,559 --> 01:36:55,766
- That's good.
- 2091
- 01:36:55,852 --> 01:36:58,686
- I also understand that you've been sober
- for the last five months.
- 2092
- 01:36:58,771 --> 01:36:59,771
- Is that still the case?
- 2093
- 01:37:01,816 --> 01:37:03,978
- Yes.
- That's very good news.
- 2094
- 01:37:05,361 --> 01:37:08,354
- And if I were to put the kids
- in your care,
- 2095
- 01:37:08,990 --> 01:37:11,733
- your current residence
- could accommodate them?
- 2096
- 01:37:13,411 --> 01:37:14,868
- I think so.
- 2097
- 01:37:14,954 --> 01:37:17,287
- It's small, but it works,
- 2098
- 01:37:17,373 --> 01:37:18,739
- Your Honor.
- 2099
- 01:37:18,833 --> 01:37:20,244
- And Miss Viara,
- 2100
- 01:37:20,877 --> 01:37:26,748
- do you feel capable of responsibly caring
- for Juan, Lita and Lizzy at this time?

- she doesn't know how to make my noodles
- the way I like to have them?

- Don't worry, pal. Lizzy will show her
- the way we do the cheese for you
- 2111
- 01:38:32,490 --> 01:38:34,510
- so your mom can make it
- for you just the way you like.

- maybe, but there's no hard feelings.

- She was supposed to meet us
- at the office this morning
- 2151
- 01:41:43,973 --> 01:41:45,430
- and she didn't show.
- 2152

- Oh, no.
- 2153
- 01:41:47,059 --> 01:41:48,300
- She didn't answer her phone.
- 2154

- What if something happened to her?

- Yes, we went to see her.
- 2156
- 01:41:53,524 --> 01:41:57,188
- She was very ashamed.
- She said... she can't do it.
- 2157
- 01:41:57,278 --> 01:42:01,192
- No, she didn't. Because
- why would she, um, fill out all the forms
- 2158
- 01:42:01,282 --> 01:42:03,468
- and the court stuff
- and reunification stuff if she didn't...

- 01:42:03,492 --> 01:42:06,781
- Lizzy, your mom said
- you filled out all those forms.

- I helped, but so what?
- 2161
- 01:42:08,247 --> 01:42:12,207
- She felt she was being pushed
- into something she wasn't ready for.

- No. I didn't push her.
- She's ready! Just...
- 2163
- 01:42:15,755 --> 01:42:17,121
- Just let me talk to her, please,
- 2164

- and then we can figure something out...

- ...and she can take me home.

- Just wait there, okay?
- Lizzy!
- 2174
- 01:42:44,784 --> 01:42:45,784

- Lizzy?
- Lizzy!
- 2177
- 01:43:08,265 --> 01:43:11,008
- Lizzy.
- Please go away. You're not my parents.
- 2178
- 01:43:11,102 --> 01:43:13,389
- No, we're not, but you know what we are?
- We're here.
- 2179
- 01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:15,641
- That's right, we're here and we love you.

- Hey, what the hell's going on out here?
- 2183
- 01:43:21,696 --> 01:43:23,813
- Could you just give us
- a few minutes, please?
- 2184
- 01:43:25,866 --> 01:43:27,357
- Oh, okay. Sorry.
- 2185
- 01:43:28,536 --> 01:43:31,574
- Lizzy, honey, we do know you.
- 2186
- 01:43:31,664 --> 01:43:35,032
- We... We know that you hate cheese,
- 2187
- 01:43:35,126 --> 01:43:37,539
- but you really love cheeseburgers.
- 2188
- 01:43:37,628 --> 01:43:40,245
- And we know that when
- you feel good in the morning,
- 2189
- 01:43:40,339 --> 01:43:43,377
- you put on a little less makeup
- than you do on the bad days.
- 2190
- 01:43:43,467 --> 01:43:46,363
- Exactly. And look, we know that the most
- important thing in the world to you
- 2191
- 01:43:46,387 --> 01:43:49,148
- is to protect Juan and Lita
- from the things nobody protected you from.
- 2192
- 01:43:49,181 --> 01:43:51,138
- We know that about you, right?
- Yes, honey.
- 2193
- 01:43:51,225 --> 01:43:52,625
- (WHISPERS) You guys are doing good.
- 2194
- 01:43:53,144 --> 01:43:55,887
- I'm sorry.
- We know there's so much we don't know,
- 2195
- 01:43:55,980 --> 01:44:00,099
- but if you're afraid we can't handle
- knowing the bad stuff, or the scary stuff,
- 2196
- 01:44:00,192 --> 01:44:01,774
- we can, I promise.
- 2197
- 01:44:01,861 --> 01:44:04,194
- Yeah, bring it. I mean,
- whatever you got, we want it.
- 2198
- 01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:05,771
- Because we love you, Lizzy.
- 2199
- 01:44:05,865 --> 01:44:07,982
- Stop saying that.
- 2200
- 01:44:08,075 --> 01:44:10,317
- Please just go away, please.
- 2201
- 01:44:12,163 --> 01:44:13,404
- Please.
- 2202
- 01:44:34,477 --> 01:44:37,220
- Is Lizzy okay?
- She's a little upset right now, buddy.
- 2203
- 01:44:38,063 --> 01:44:39,474
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.
- 2204
- 01:44:39,565 --> 01:44:40,601
- Here she is.
- 2205
- 01:44:47,990 --> 01:44:48,990
- So...
- 2206
- 01:44:49,784 --> 01:44:53,494
- um, here's what I think is best.
- 2207
- 01:44:55,039 --> 01:44:57,873
- I know Juan and Lita
- are more like what you had in mind
- 2208
- 01:44:57,958 --> 01:44:59,598
- when you got into this.
- Come on, baby.
- 2209
- 01:44:59,919 --> 01:45:03,788
- So I think the best thing
- is for you to adopt them.
- 2210
- 01:45:04,256 --> 01:45:09,297
- And... And I'll just ask Karen
- for, um, a different placement.
- 2211
- 01:45:09,845 --> 01:45:10,881
- So...
- ELLIE: No.
- 2212
- 01:45:10,971 --> 01:45:11,836
- No, it'll be good.
- 2213

- No, honey. We need your help
- with Juan and Lita.

- We're not doing this without you.

- call me if you need help for anything.

- No.

- to argue about this right now.
- 2218

- I don't care. I said no.
- That's not happening, okay?

- You're with us now.
- Yeah.

- We've got a cosmic connection.

- Yeah, and it's gonna be really pretty.
- 2240
- 01:46:24,128 --> 01:46:27,041
- But not too revealing. Super sweet.
- 2241

- or even if you don't.

- it's so important and you're so smart.
