04x22 - Love All

[bunniefuu]

SARAH: We're here.
The immigrants have arrived.

NORA: Darn it. I wanted to have everything
put away by the time you got here.

Oh, come on, Mom,
we're here for three days.

We're not waiting out the apocalypse.

I've got Cooper's cereal,
orange juice for Paige.

Look.

You brought your own food?
What's the matter with mine?

The painters said with all the sanding,
there's gonna be too much dust.

- So I didn't wanna waste it.
- Sarah, it's such a good idea.

Luc is moving in
so you're giving the whole place

a brand new coat of paint
for a fresh new start.

Yeah. I hope it's not too fresh, you know.
It's a big adjustment for everyone.

Cooper's going a little crazy.

COOPER:
Mom, can I play my video game?

Yes, I have become that mom that uses
video games as a babysitting device.

Trust me, it's better for all of us.

Grandma, can I set this up
in the living room?

Yes, after you give me my hug.
Where's my hug?

Hug, hug, hug. Come on.

- Hugs. Oh!
COOPER: Mm.

NORA:
Thank you.

Where's Paige?

Oh, she's doing a Girl Scout
camping weekend.

No Internet, no cell phones.

Luc's convinced she's gonna come home
a whole new person.

Oh, Luc. Congratulations.

You've got your own set of keys
and everything.

- Yeah. I am a Pasadenian now.
- A Pasadenian.

You are a Pasadenian, that's for sure.

Sarah, Narrow Lake. What's going on?

Mom, look,
I'm drilling for buried treasure.

[COOPER MIMICKING
DRILL WHIRRING]

Cooper's become obsessed
with the drilling we're doing up there.

Maybe he'll become a geologist.

- They found anything?
- Cooper.

SARAH: No, they haven't.
But I hope they find something soon

because the hole they're digging
isn't just in the ground.

- We are hemorrhaging cash.
- We just need to have a little faith.

I'm certain there's something
of value there. I'm just certain of it.

I hope you're right.
We're betting the company on it.

Cooper, your mom and your grandma
are trying to have a conversation. Stop it.

What? I can't understand your accent.

Cooper. Excuse me, that is very rude.

[SIGHS]

I'm just gonna unpack your stuff,
just over here out of the way.

- That's it?
- Well, I told him it was rude.

He's years old.
What else do you want me to say to him?

Talk to him.

Okay. Cooper, time out.

- Because he said so?
- No, because I said so.

That chair. Five minutes. Right now.

Mom, I am too old for time outs.

I don't care.

You know, Sarah, he really is right.

After about or ,
there needs to be some consequences.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Okay, everybody take time out.

It's the drilling company. Excuse me.

- Hello? Yes, thanks for calling.
- Grandma, when's lunch?

- Cooper, time out.
SARAH: Okay.

Yeah, do it. Thank you.

- What did they say?
- What they always say, Mom.

They need more money to dig deeper.
They'll call me if they find anything.

Ojai's gonna have to sell
some more land to pay for this.

- I'm hungry.
SARAH: What do you want?

Peanut butter and jelly?
String cheese and grapes?

What happened to the time out?

Well, I thought nobody liked
time out anymore.

Is there any mac and cheese?

He's hungry.
It's probably why he's going so crazy.

What do you want me to do,
starve him?

No, but at least five minutes of time out.
That's what it's all about.

I mean, I can take him upstairs.

- He's been like that for a week now.
- A week?

We had an incident at school.
Small thing.

Jaime Barton, her ponytail and a stapler.

LUC:
Let me take him upstairs.

If he's hungry, honestly, there's no point.

LUC: Okay, let me take the bags upstairs.
- Thank you.

- Does this mean my time out's over?
- Shh!

- Yes. Go. Get out of here. Scram.
- Cha-ching.

- Stay out of trouble.
- Okay.

Is everything okay with the two of you?

He's an -year-old boy, Mom.
You've been there.

No, Luc. Between you and Luc.

Oh, yeah. No, we're fine.

We're gonna make this work, Mom.
I just wish people could be more patient.

Transitions are hard.

SAUL:
Look, we could maybe start with crepe?

Have you been to one of those
crepe places?

SAUL:
No, but I've thought about it.

Well, I want people to do more than
just consider eating at our restaurant.

- How serious are you guys about this?
- Ask him. He's the one with the money.

Well, I've often thought about opening
a restaurant

and this would be a perfect time.

What about a wine bar?
You know, with the big taps?

It requires a liquor license.
That takes forever.

Okay, fine. Don't sell booze.
Don't expect our family to show up.

Excuse me. The point of this
is not to feed our family.

The point is to make some money.

Well, when you need a lawyer
to draw up contracts, give me a call.

- Sure. Maybe.
- Maybe?

I was a corporate litigator for ten years.
I think I can draw up a property contract.

Of course you can.
I just meant that hopefully you'll be busy

- doing something else by then.
- I'm busy doing something else today.

Sarah, who wants my help,
asked me to look over the drilling contract.

So good luck with your restaurant.
I have work to do.

- Kevin, don't be upset.
- I'm not upset, I'm just busy.

The contract to train the Somali police,

Bill Stanton wants it awarded
to his company.

Yeah, of course he does.
It's a massive, open-ended commitment.

And, obviously, he needs your committee
to appropriate the funds.

And I wanna catch him cheating.

National security shouldn't make you rich.

Understand.
So I should wait for his call?

Well, actually, there's a benefit
at his club tomorrow.

A tennis tournament.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Excuse me.

Oh, it's my wife.
All right, what'd you forget?

Okay, my meeting with Jim Hix.
You said something about education cuts.

Was that a "don't forget to bring it up"
or a "steer clear"?

That depends on whether
he's with Carolyn or not.

Carolyn? Carolyn? Carolyn.

- Carolyn. Right. His wife.
- Uh, yeah.

Superintendent of Humboldt County
schools Carolyn. Right.

Thank you. I'm so glad I called you.
Is Evan awake?

- No, he's still asleep.
- Aw.

All right, well make sure
you send me a lot of pictures, okay?

Okay. And you concentrate
on getting those endorsements.

They could really turn
this campaign around.

Yeah, right. From your lips.

Oh, Robert, I love you.

Love you. Sorry.

- She after an endorsement from Hix?
- Yeah. She's gunning for McCarty too.

She's on her way to Sacramento now.

She's worked really hard for this
and that's the issue for me,

is if I get on the wrong side of Stanton,
her campaign will be the first casualty.

They will come after her hard.

My hat is off to Kitty.

It's a damn fine virgin run,

but she's not getting
those endorsements.

The far right is going to determine
the primary and they don't like her.

All due respect, don't worry about
harming your wife's campaign.

It'll be over this time next month.

Joe, I've known you a long time,
but let me tell you something.

Never bet against my wife.

Uh, why do you look like Kitty
at one of her fundraisers?

- Is it that bad?
- Pearls?

Well, the bungalow that I love is
having an open house

and the selling agent
takes you more seriously

if you look professional, so...

I heard they also take you seriously

if you actually have the money to pay
for the house.

Ha, ha. Very funny. I'm just going
to check it out. You wanna come?

Uh, no, because
I am actually trying to make lasagna.

- Wait, you're cooking?
- Yeah.

Jake's wife, Jessica, is a vegetarian
and I figured

I'd make something and bring it on over.

Is this them?

Yeah, yeah. She asked me
if I had any pictures to bring over.

Hey, maybe you could,
um, grab something

at that organic place on Main Street.

They have really good food.

You know, her husband was just k*lled
by an IED.

- I think I should probably cook something.
- You're right.

Maybe soup? Soup's a lot easier
and it's comforting.

Yeah, maybe soup.

- Justin, are you okay?
- Uh, yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

- Because ever since the funeral...
- No, I really am.

I just, uh, you know, wanna do
something nice and help her out.

That's nice.

You want some company?

Uh, no, no.
You go check out your house.

- It would be our house.
- Right. Our house.

Bye.

What are you doing here?

This is what unemployed losers do.

They hang out in their mothers' kitchens
making sandwiches.

You want a turkey and Swiss?
There's like four pounds of meat in here.

I know. Don't ask.

- Make two. Or three.
- Okay.

- So how's the big move-in going?
- Oh, you know. It's going.

Did you get a chance to look over
those contracts?

Yeah, it's all pretty standard.

The longer they keep drilling,
the more you have to pay.

According to the local well records
for the surrounding area,

- there's gotta be at least water there.
- So all you can do now is wait.

- Which I'm really bad at.
- Well, where's Luc?

- He usually manages to distract me.
- Actually, we're fighting.

Oh, stop. He's too beautiful for that.

- Nobody's too beautiful for that.
- Oh, wow, you really do need help.

- You know what goes well with waiting?
- Turkey?

- Wine.
ROBERT: Are you guys always here?

SARAH: I know, it's sad.
- Hey, Evan.

- Come give me a kiss, buddy.
- Careful, he might eat you.

- He's got the appetite of a football player.
- Hey, beautiful.

Do you want a glass?

No, I'm gonna wait
till the sun goes down.

- And, besides, I gotta play tennis.
SARAH & KEVIN: Tennis?

I got roped into playing this
doubles tournament,

so I figured I'd go and hit with the pro.

Why didn't you ask this pro
standing right here?

- You mean, drinking right there.
- I was awesome back in the day.

We were awesome.

- Huh.
- Kev-rah.

SARAH & KEVIN:
Kev-rah.

Kev-rah. Kev-rah.

Kev-rah. Kev-rah. Kev-rah.

Kev-rah. Kev-rah. Kev-rah.

[WHISTLES]

COOPER:
Got him. Then what happened?

Uh, well, there was so much smoke
and sand, I couldn't see.

I felt this guy grab my leg,
so I picked him up.

And guess what?
It was my buddy, Brian.

- That's unbelievable.
- Yeah, it was pretty cool.

- Look out, look out.
- Go left, go left, go left.

- Left, left, left. I'll get him right there.
- What are you doing?

- Grandma.
- We're just playing.

You've been playing for hours.
It's a beautiful day outside.

Why don't you go outside and play?

Just let me k*ll a couple more invaders.

There. Get him, get him, get him.

Justin, darling, I love you,
but why are you here?

I need to make soup for a friend.
I was wondering if you could help me.

Like chicken soup?
You know a hundred doctors.

You're in med school.
Have them write a prescription.

- I have my hands full today.
- She's not sick, Mom.

It's Jake's widow.
The guy who d*ed in Afghanistan.

- Got him. Got him.
- You got him. Head sh*t, head sh*t.

Okay, Cooper, time's up, time's up. Here.
You can take this and go outside.

sh**t some hoops. Look at all the stuff
I drug out of the garage.

Yeah, and stay in the yard.
And don't go near the pool.

- Miss you, buddy.
- Come on, let's go make some soup.

All right, just let me k*ll this one
more bad guy.

I'll be there in two minutes.
Love you, Ma.

I can't bring stragglers, you guys.
It's a private club.

BOTH: What club?
- Altadena Tennis Club.

- Card-carrying members.
- Ugh. Since .

Yeah.

NORA: Hey.
ROBERT: Hey.

What, are you two drinking?
It's not even noon.

- We're being European.
- Yeah.

- You're being something.
- Don't worry, we're leaving.

We have to practice for a tournament.

- Wait a minute. Hold on.
- Tell him how great we were as doubles.

They were good.
They were very, very good.

- They almost got thrown out of the club.
- She only slapped him.

- Mom, it was a bad call and you know it.
- Yeah.

- Ugh, Kevin, I can't.
- Why not?

- I've got Cooper for the weekend.
- Well, when is the tournament?

Well, it's tomorrow.
Today is just practice.

NORA:
Well, that's perfect.

I can take care of Cooper today
and tomorrow he's got a play date.

No, but, Mom, I was gonna take him
to the play date and stay with him.

He's years old.
I think one mom is enough.

- I don't know about that.
NORA: Sarah, think about this.

It would be fabulous.

It would be Robert and Kevin
against you and Luc.

No. I mean, the whole point is

- that Kev-rah was great together.
- Yeah.

- We don't even know if Luc can play.
- Probably not.

NORA:
Now's your chance to find out.

It would be wonderful for the two of you
to have some adult time, honey.

- So, it's done. Take them away.
- Yes. Can I make a deal with you?

Will you watch him
till the nanny gets here?

NORA: Absolutely.
- Good. Good.

And then I get to play with Kev-rah.

BOTH:
Kev-rah.

Uh, well, and Luc.

Yeah. And Luc.

REBECCA: It's perfect, isn't it?
HOLLY: Mm, looks amazing. Heh, heh.

- I think you should do it.
- What?

- What, you mean like, put an offer in?
- You have the money.

Pull it from Ojai and transfer it into
your personal account and make an offer.

- Mom, the agent already got two offers.
- They always say that.

That's a sales technique.

I saw a couple take out their checkbook.

Well, then transfer the money
and take out yours.

It's just an offer.
You're not obligated to spend a dime.

So I just pick up the phone
and make a couple calls?

Yeah. That's all you have to do.

If you really love this house,
then make it happen.

She's looking at a house?
That's very exciting.

Yeah. Well, she's just looking,
so it's not really a big deal.

It's a really big deal.
It would be your first house.

Ma, we're not buying anything,
so maybe we should just make the soup.

Okay, you've chopped that enough.

Put a big handful in the cheesecloth
and then tie it up with this string.

Put it in the soup. It's a herb bouquet.

We can take it out
before we give it to her.

All right.

Why do you have your dog tags on?

Because I found them by my uniform when
I was, uh, getting dressed for the funeral.

Jake.

Why did he go back, Justin?
It breaks my heart that he was there.

Well, somebody has to be.

- Are you all right?
- Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

I know this hit you hard.
Have you been going to your meetings?

Yes, Mom, I've been going
to my NA meetings. I'm fine. Really.

Then maybe
you could take your dog tags off.

Okay, this is all done.
So I'll just drop it in the soup?

Yeah.

Cooper, you know the rules.
No swimming without a grown-up.

Mom, I know how to swim.
I just wanted to do a cannonball.

If you had hit your head and no one
was there, you would have drowned.

And don't even get me started
about the whole clothes thing.

- Hi.
- Were you with him?

Yeah. I went to get him a towel.

Luc, you said that you would keep an eye
on him while I got changed.

No, I was. But he wanted to go swimming.
So I went to pick up his bathing suit

- and told him wait by the pool.
- Pfft. You took too long.

What? Cooper, seriously.
You told me you would wait.

How am I supposed to trust you
if you do things like that?

What were you doing outside?
You said you would stay here,

play video games,
and stay out of trouble.

Cooper, my goodness, you're soaking wet.
What, did you fall in the pool?

No, Mom. He decided to go for a swim,
alone, with his clothes on.

You're the one who told me to go outside.

I told you to go out
and sh**t some baskets

rather than sitting here
and sh**ting monsters all day.

- They're aliens.
- Okay, that is enough from you.

Go get changed. I will deal with you later.
Okay, go.

- Look, Mom, I told you...
- I know, Sarah, I know.

You told me you like to use these games
as some kind of baby-sitter,

but, honey, the one he's playing
is the most violent game I have ever seen.

That is ridiculous.
He's sh**ting blue blobs.

You never minded when Tommy
was playing with "Duck Hunt."

"Duck Hunt"?

Besides, it's a lot safer
than swimming in that pool alone.

I didn't expect him to jump in the pool
fully clothed.

Yeah, no one did.

Sarah, I have to tell you,
I think this game is a problem.

All of these games are a problem.

You told me yourself.
He stapled some girl's ponytail.

He's a boy. He's a little aggressive.
He needs an outlet.

- Boys will be boys? Is that it?
- Could you back me up here?

I'm sorry, Sarah.
I think your mom is right.

Stop making excuses.

Video games or not,
Cooper has been acting out.

Cooper is going through
a bit of a rough patch right now.

I am doing the very best I can.

I think the last thing that Cooper needs
is more cooks in the kitchen.

- Well, you asked for my opinion. I told you.
- Yeah, you did.

If you two have finished ganging up on me,
I'm gonna go talk to my boy.

Look at us. Couple men of leisure
hitting some tennis balls

- on a Saturday afternoon.
- That's us.

It feels weird to me, you know?

Scheduling my day around court times
and martini lunches?

Nowhere to report.
That feel weird to you?

No, but that's probably because I still have
my job as United States Senator.

Come on, get up there. I'm serving.

KEVIN:
All right, these go.

[UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYING]

[SHOUTS]

- Yes.
- Sarah, that was on my side.

- I didn't think you had it.
- I know how to play tennis.

It's gonna be a long day.
Let's go, Kev, buck up. Here we go.

I know technically you're still working,
but what's next?

- You don't have anything lined up?
- Don't worry, I'll think of something.

You're the most ambitious person
I'll ever know.

That's why I can't figure out
why you're so cool playing tennis

- on a Saturday afternoon.
- Well, we all have to enjoy our lives.

- Love- .
- Bring it on.

- Yeah.
- Nice try, babe.

Don't patronize me.

You know what? Maybe you're right.
I mean, why am I so high-strung?

If you can handle the easy life,
I'm sure I could.

I just need to learn how to chill, right?

- You need to learn how to play the net.
- Okay.

Fifteen-all.

- Oh! That's my partner.
- Nice sh*t, Kev.

- Thanks, Rah.
- That's what I'm talking about.

You know what? That did feel good.
I should play more tennis.

ROBERT: Here we go. Kev, let's do it.
KEVIN: All right.

Ouch.

- I had it.
- It was my ball.

Why don't you play single?

LUC: Aha! A point.
- Don't get cocky.

ROBERT:
Nice sh*t.

ROBERT: Just out.
- What?

No, no, no.
There is no way that was out.

Well, too close for me to call.

- I think it was out.
- Well, of course you do.

What is that supposed to mean?

You question my tennis game,
my parenting.

Maybe you and my mother
should play together.

It feels like you two are in agreement
about a lot of things.

I think it was out. That's all I'm saying.

- Let me play forehand.
ROBERT: You know, I have an idea.

You guys have such a great history.

Why don't you guys play together
and Luc you come over here?

- Fine by me.
- Works for me.

A thousand thank yous.

ROBERT:
You kidding me? I've been there.

And there's my move, so it's your turn.

Aha! Which move will it be?

There, you see?
You really have to think about this game.

You have to strategize,
to suss out your opponent.

There, I took you.

I like "Galactic Showdown" better.

You fly spaceships and sh**t bad guys.

Just like Uncle Justin did in the w*r.
It was so cool.

He saved his friend
by dragging him through the desert.

And then there were
real, live helicopters.

He had to jump out of one once.
It was so cool.

Yes, I know. He was very brave.

Okay. There, it's your move.

- King me, Grammy.
- I'm not going to king you.

You have to earn that. Don't you think?

Mm! These biscotti are amazing. I feel like
I'm sitting on a piazza in Florence.

SCOTTY: God, I'm good.
- Yeah.

Hello, boys. Ooh, working on our menu?

Kevin, you have to taste these biscotti,
they're fantastic.

I can't, I'm in training.

I thought you were working on contracts.
Where have you been, Wimbledon?

Maybe, next year.
I whizzed through my contracts.

Then I tripped the light fantastic
at the Altadena Country Club.

You're kidding.
They let you back in after the incident?

Ugh, that was one stupid harassment suit
from a disgruntled tennis pro.

- Oh, and guess what.
- What?

- Kev-rah lives.
- Kev-rah?

- Don't ask.
- You should have seen us

on the court today, Uncle Saul.
Like riding a bicycle.

I was Venus to Sarah's Serena.

Were Venus and Serena drinking?

Because you seem very relaxed
all of a sudden.

Mm, actually, I did have a glass of wine
with lunch.

You know what I've realized?
I've worked since I was .

That's years without a break.
And for what?

- Money.
- Yeah, and I'll work again.

But no one's exactly b*ating down
the door to hire me.

So you know what?
This might be a blessing in disguise.

No one actually needs my help,
not even you guys.

If you wanna get involved
in the restaurant, you can.

- I just assumed that you...
- No, no, no. That's your passion.

- Now I have my own passion.
- Really? And what might that be?

Tennis. If you'll excuse me,
I'm gonna go and soak

because I need to be nice, loose
and limber for my big game tomorrow.

Kev-rah for match point. Walker serves.

Aces. Crowd goes wild.

Who knew unemployment could be
so much fun?

- Hey.
- Hey.

- How'd it go?
- Uh, okay.

Okay. Good call on the, uh, soup.
She, uh, really liked it.

Oh, good, I'm glad.

So, Justin...

- Yeah?
- The house was amazing.

I mean, absolutely amazing.
A huge back yard.

A swing on the front porch.
Built-ins in every room. It was perfect.

Cool.

I'd really like for you to come see it
with me tonight.

Uh, Rebecca, I was kind of hoping
we'd just chill and watch a movie.

Okay. Well, the thing is,

I know I was supposed to be
window shopping,

but my mom says that the money
should be back in my account by Monday,

and there were other buyers
that were interested, so I put an offer in.

- Wait, you made an offer?
- We don't have to pay them anything.

No, time out, time out.
Rebecca, you made an offer on a house

that I haven't even set foot in yet?

No, I know. And if you don't like it,
we're not gonna buy it.

I mean, I just want you to come
and see it with me.

- It's perfect and it...
- This is crazy to me, Rebecca.

What is so crazy about us wanting
to buy a house together?

- I don't know where this is coming from.
- Fine, you don't get it.

Then explain it to me.
This morning you said you that were fine

and you seemed to be dealing with this.
Obviously, this is hitting you a lot harder

- than you're willing to admit.
- What do you want from me?

My friends are dying. I'm having trouble
thinking about houses and blenders,

- the degree I'm gonna get in seven years.
- Okay, Justin, calm down.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I know that Jake was your friend,
but think about it.

The last thing he would want you to do
is stop living your life.

And if you're trying to shame me into
not wanting a comfortable future with you,

then you're right, I don't understand.

All right, fine.
I have nothing else to tell you.

All right, let's stretch it out.
I got you. Really feel it. There you go.

Okay, when I say, "We are,"
you say, "champions."

- We are...
- Champions.

- We are...
- Champions.

- We are...
- Champions.

- You in this, sis?
- Yep.

KEVIN: You have to say it.
- Oh, yeah, sorry. To win it, bro.

All right, let's go.

Cooper's play date cancelled.
Mom's bringing him in to watch the game.

There is no way
he's gonna sit still that long.

- Sarah, she raised five of us.
- Yeah, but we didn't have to deal with

a strange Frenchman
moving into our house.

There was one exchange student.
She's like the child whisperer, okay?

Let her focus on Cooper,
you focus on the match.

- We'll be fine. Okay?
- Okay.

BOTH:
Go Team Kev-rah.

KEVIN:
Where are those guys?

I don't know.
You think we scared them off?

Robert? Doubtful.

Senator. Bill Stanton.

Good to meet you.

It's a beautiful day for a good cause,
wouldn't you say?

Yeah. I'm just happy to be here
to help out.

Well, you know, I was sorry to hear
you're not running for re-election.

You got a line on what's next?

- That's sort of the million-dollar question.
- Well, don't tell me it's golf.

That'd be a prime waste
of national resources.

Now, you should wait until you see
my short game before you say that.

Maybe we should play some time.

Maybe we should.

It's a nice club you have here.

- You're not a member, are you?
- No. I'm surprised they let me in at all.

I think I've passed bills
with less paperwork.

Heh. Yeah, well, sorry about that.

- Bureaucracy, right?
- Indeed.

Well, next time call me up.
I'll walk you straight in.

Or I could join.

I'd be glad to sponsor you. Here.

- Try my cell if you're interested.
- Thank you.

Pleasure, Senator.

COOPER:
I don't wanna watch tennis.

Why couldn't I have just stayed home
with Evan and his nanny?

It's gonna be fun. Hold on, hold on.

- I wanna put more block on your nose.
- Mom, you lathered him up in the car.

I missed his nose, Justin.

All right, never mind. Just wear this.

- How's that?
- No.

You know,
I wore a hat every day in Iraq.

- You did?
- Mm-hm. Everybody did.

That's awesome.

Did you also tell him you ended up
in a hospital in Germany?

LUC: All right, call it.
- No need. You can serve.

Okay.

So they have a great bar here.

What do you want me to do?
I ran into him.

When it comes to Bill Stanton,
be rude and ignore him.

- He's the host. It's his charity event.
- Right. So write a check.

Don't schmooze with
the Prince of Darkness, okay?

I mean, what did he want?
Help on votes for a contract?

- We were talking golf.
- I hope no one got a picture.

- Bad publicity.
- I thought you didn't work for me anymore.

For Kitty. I mean, but you're right.
I don't work at all. So let's play tennis.

ANNOUNCER [OVER PA]:
McCallister and Laurent to serve.

First set.

[GRUNTING]

- Fifteen-Iove.
- Nice serve.

KEVIN: Where did that come from?
SARAH: Lucky sh*t.

That wasn't a lucky sh*t.
That was an ace.

Hey.

- Sorry Rebecca couldn't come today.
- Yeah.

- Is she busy?
- Uh, yeah, yeah, she was.

Coop, while you're in there,
grab me a granola bar?

- Okay.
ANNOUNCER: Out.

- Yes.
ANNOUNCER: Fifteen-all.

COOPER: Grandma?
- Yeah?

Why do you have an umbrella?

Shh. It's not for the rain, it's for the sun.

It's like your hat, only bigger.
Way bigger.

[MIMICKING g*n f*ring]

- Cooper, Stop it.
- I'm just sh**ting Luc.

ANNOUNCER:
Fifteen- .

Justin, would you grab that from him?

- You're the one who started it.
- What did I do?

You think he got the idea
to turn that into a g*n all by himself?

Uh, yes, Mom. He's a boy.

You take away the umbrella,
he'll use a stick.

Take the stick, he'll use his hand.
I had nothing to do with it.

I'm gonna get a soda.
Would you like anything?

No, thank you.

You should really knock that off.

[MIMICKING g*nf*re
THEN GRENADE EXPLODING]

Cooper, stop it.

ANNOUNCER: Thirty-all.
- Hi.

- How did you miss that?
- Sorry, I got distracted.

KEVIN: Kev-rah was
undefeated in years, okay?

I'd like to keep it that way.

ROBERT: Nice sh*t.
ANNOUNCER: Forty- .

- Cooper, stop it. Cooper.
- Cooper.

- Cooper, what are you doing?
- I'll handle this.

He's throwing balls on the court.
Not cool.

You talking to him now
is only gonna make things worse.

It's not gonna get better if you butt in.

He's my son.

- Yes, he is. And where do I fit in?
- Look, I don't know,

but he already has a father
who's not exactly thrilled about you

and, obviously, neither is Cooper.

I'm in the middle,
I'm trying to figure it out.

You let me know when you do. Until then,
we're not gonna be able to play as a team.

NORA: Cooper. Oy.
- Sorry. It was an accident.

Okay, listen to me.
That was no accident.

The corkscrew, the swimming pool, this,
none of it was an accident.

Was it, Cooper, hmm?

Okay, you're coming home with me.
Mom, this is my job, not yours.

- Sorry, Kevin. We gotta forfeit.
- What?

SARAH: Let's get out of here.
COOPER: Ow!

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Come on, we're leaving.
- What, already? Who won the match?

No one. It was a forfeit. Come on.

- Well, where is Cooper?
- He's with Sarah. So let's go.

What? You know what? Time-out.
What's the deal?

- Are you mad at me or something?
- No, I'm not mad at you.

I'm onto you, Justin.

- You're on...?
- The funeral, the dog tags.

All these w*r stories to Cooper.
I know where this is headed.

- Don't put words in my mouth.
- Back to this hideous w*r.

- I don't wanna go back. I just wanna...
- Don't lie to me, Justin.

I've been through this before.
You went twice.

The last time almost k*lled you.

Why would you go back?
Your life is great.

You're in med school.
You have a wife who loves you.

- Yeah, and I love her too, Mom.
- You made a commitment to stay with her.

You can't walk away from your life, Justin.
You can't.

[KEVIN MOANS]

That feels good.

- Andy Roddick passed out on my couch.
- Hmm.

- Roger Federer is a better player.
- Yeah, but Roddick is cuter.

Oh, I'm flattered.
But we both lost a big game.

Well, I bet you played hard
and gave it your all.

Why are you being so nice to me?

Maybe I feel guilty.

I haven't exactly been paying attention
to you lately.

That's all right. I'm not a child.

Although I have been behaving
like one recently.

We're having a baby in seven months.
I need to get a job, any job.

It's not about the job.

Okay, I need to make money.

It's not really about the money either.
You need a purpose.

And it's not tennis.

Can we just leave all the purpose
to you?

Just for a moment?

I really want you to open this restaurant.

Maybe that's my purpose,
encouraging you.

- Do you know what I miss?
- What?

The old Kevin Walker
who ran towards his purpose.

So why am I running away from it now?

Because you don't know what it is.
And you hate uncertainty.

At least I'm certain of you.

Now, I know we talked about
Luc moving in

and you were excited about the idea,

but now there's a whole new member
of the family

and we think you might be finding it
a bit challenging.

- Hmm?
- It's different than what I expected.

I get that. You know, for me too.

But he's here now, so it's time that
we all learn how we're gonna get along.

Now, I love Luc, okay?

So when you hurt his feelings
you hurt my feelings,

the same way
that I'd be hurt if somebody hurt you.

You know what I'm talking about?

Yes.

[WHISPERING] So do you have
something you might wanna say to Luc?

I'm sorry, Luc.

Thank you, Cooper.

[IN NORMAL VOICE]
Now brush your teeth.

Start a chapter
and I'll be in to tuck you in, okay?

I love you.

LUC:
Nicely done.

Thank you.

I wonder if he's upset that
he's not the man of the house anymore.

You know, he used to come and cuddle
and fall asleep,

and always had me all to himself.

Speaking of cuddling...

You know, I don't think
Coop is the only problem here.

I think you need to deal with
your own issues.

[WHISPERING]
You're right.

[IN NORMAL VOICE]
I'm so sorry.

Okay, here's the deal.

What if the only reason
we've been deliriously happy

is because we've been living in a fantasy?
And now it's...

- It's real.
- Yeah.

- Real is good, right?
- Real is real.

It's paint colors and temper tantrums
and the emotional lives of year olds.

I don't wanna mess this up, Luc.
For me, this is a huge deal.

Hey, it's a huge deal for me too.

I wanna be a family with you.

But you think Cooper's tough?

Try living with a -year-old girl
who hates you.

You're so relaxed about it.

I don't think you really have thought
through the stress

that children put on a relationship.

What if it's just too hard?

Now, I can deal with you
breaking my heart.

But I can't deal with you breaking theirs.

I'm not gonna break anyone's heart.

But we don't know that, do we?

I love you, Sarah, and I'm not trying to be
their father or anything.

No, I know.
But do you know who you do wanna be?

Your partner.

A very positive role model for the kids.

And for that, I'm gonna need to have
my own relationship with them.

Then we are very, very, very lucky.

ROBERT: Hello?
- Hi.

- What have you got there?
- I wanted to thank you

for taking care of Evan for so long.

Oh, don't be silly, I'm his grandmother.
I love it.

I know, that's why it's not cash.

- Oh. Well, thank you.
- Oh, sure.

So, um, he's asleep in the living room
right now in his playpen thingy.

The nanny left right after
we got back from the game.

I'm just packing up
all of his stuff right now.

Okay.

- Robert, can I ask you something?
- Sure.

Did Justin talk to you about
wanting to go back to Afghanistan?

- Oh, God, he did.
- Look, Nora...

Please tell me you didn't say anything
to encourage him.

No, I just listened.

To what?

Nora, the first time you enlist,
it can be about a bunch of things,

but if you re-enlist, it's personal.

It's about wanting to get back to people
who you love and who understand you

in a way that nobody else possibly can.

Well, that's easy for you to say.
You're not going back to w*r.

We all go to w*r in different ways.

But I don't want my son to go back
to this w*r ever again.

I understand.

But that pull is awfully strong.

[EVAN CRYING]

And that's your son.
Maybe you wanna go take care of him.

Oh, hey.

Oh, my gosh, you would not believe
the traffic out there.

The is bumper-to-bumper
ridiculous.

- Where's the little guy?
- Oh, he's:

- Just got him down.
- Oh, sh**t.

- So?
- No, no, no.

First of all, just tell me
who won the match.

Oh, Luc and I won.

- You're kidding me. You b*at Kev-rah?
- Yes, in a forfeit.

- Wait a minute...
- Cooper had a meltdown

so Sarah had to leave.

- Ugh.
- So?

So...

Here's to my endorsements.
I got them both.

That is fantastic.

It was a long sh*t,
but I worked my magic.

And as soon as Hix caved,
I called McCarty and...

- It's like I always say.
- What? What do you always say?

Never bet against my wife.

KITTY:
Aw.

So how was the rest of your weekend?
Anything important?

Nothing to tell.

JUSTIN:
Rebecca. Hello?

[MELLOWPOP MUSIC PLAYING]

- Hey.
- Hey.

I've been calling you.

Yeah, I just needed to get out
of the house, so I took a run.

At night? That's a little, uh, unsafe.

Good thing I have reflectors
on my shoes.

Oh.

You wanna talk?

You know what, Justin?
I think you should do the talking.

- I don't know how to help you.
- Okay.

Rebecca, ever since the funeral,

I've been thinking about how much Jake
and the other guys mean to me.

And it's so much more than anything
that's going on in my life right now.

See, I, um...

I don't think
I wanna be a doctor anymore.

It just... It doesn't feel right.

You know, it's all about being the best
and not a team.

And there's one place
where I felt like I belonged to a team.

- Where guys had my back.
- Don't. Don't you dare.

No. No, look. Let me talk, all right?

Just because I'm feeling it,
doesn't mean I'm gonna act upon it, okay?

So talk.

- I'm not happy.
- What?

- Is it me? Was it the house?
- No, no, no.

Justin, I'm sorry I got too excited.

That house would mean nothing
without you in it.

You don't have to explain that, okay?

Because you are the only thing
that works in my life.

You are the one true thing.

I just wanna feel like
I belong somewhere else too.

And you will.

Okay?

Come here.

SARAH:
Mom? I'm leaving.

Mom?

- Are you trapped under something heavy?
NORA: No.

Mom?

- What are you doing in here?
- Nothing.

You're alone in the pantry. What is it?

If you're upset about me and Luc, don't be.
We had a good chat last night.

We're gonna be fine.

- It's not that, is it?
- No.

I was just thinking.

Oh. Okay.

Sarah, I wanna tell you something.

Mothering never gets easier,
even when they're grown.

No one ever told me that
and I just wanted to make sure I told you.

Thanks, Mom.

[GRUNTING AND SHOUTING NEARBY]

- What the hell is that?
- Oh, you've gotta see this.

It might even cheer you up. Come on.

So you must visualize the att*ck
and use the move to defend yourself.

[LUC AND COOPER GRUNTING]

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

LUC: Good job.
- What are they doing?

LUC: Keep practicing.
SARAH: Having their own relationship.

LUC:
Again.

[BOTH GRUNTING]
