00:05:54Listen, when I'm partner, I'll make it work for you, Becca,
00:05:56but I need to be sure that you're ready.
00:05:57You don't get a second chance here.
00:06:01And finally, the Jones trial will require a complex defense,
00:06:04but I'm fully confident that we will be successful, as always.
00:06:08Everyone here is aware of your impressive track record,
00:06:10so have me set up this meeting.
00:06:12Jim would have been here,
00:06:13but he had to fly out to the Chicago office this morning.
00:06:16We wanted to discuss your future here with the firm.
00:06:18Thank you, John.
00:06:20And let me just say that my time here at the firm
00:06:22has been extremely rewarding.
00:06:24Well, I'm glad to hear that,
00:06:25because last night we came to a very important decision.
00:06:31We want you to be senior counsel for the Strauss Corporation.
00:06:38Strauss?
00:06:39That's a German-based steel manufacturer.
00:06:41Aren't they being represented by Broden?
00:06:43Until yesterday.
00:06:45Strauss just started expanding into the U.S.
00:06:47They have one mill up in Summit,
00:06:49and they've just made an offer on a state-owned park in Winston to buy another.
00:06:53Now, the state has accepted that offer,
00:06:55but the townspeople of Summit got an injunction to stop it.
00:06:59Strauss have hired us to get the injunction overturned.
00:07:03One of our major selling points was that we had a lawyer
00:07:05who could do just that.
00:07:08That would be me.
00:07:09We're counting on you.
00:07:10Well, it's important that we win.
00:07:13And if we do,
00:07:15we are prepared to make you partner.
00:07:19When I do.
00:07:21Now, the bad news.
00:07:22The hearing's this Friday.
00:07:23This Friday?
00:07:25I do hate disrupting Thanksgiving.
00:07:28No, no.
00:07:28This is much more important.
00:07:29I look forward to being partner.
00:07:32Skinton Bates Parks.
00:07:34I like the sound of that.
00:07:36It has a ring to it.
00:07:45Miss Parks.
00:07:46Maybe just a few minutes now?
00:07:49I can't right now,
00:07:49but you can schedule something with my assistant.
00:07:51So the Strauss Corporation built the exact same mill in Summit.
00:07:58I, uh, have something for Megan?
00:08:01Not now, Jessica.
00:08:03Mommy!
00:08:04Ollie, what are you doing here?
00:08:06The nanny had some emergency.
00:08:07Oh, I'm so sorry, Claudia.
00:08:10Uh, that's okay.
00:08:11Someone else will take over.
00:08:13But I'll be back as soon as I...
00:08:14No.
00:08:15There's too much to be done in too short a time,
00:08:16and you clearly have your hands full.
00:08:21Um, Miss Parks?
00:08:23The town car's downstairs waiting whenever you're ready.
00:08:25Okay, I'm going to meet the client.
00:08:27I'll be back by 7,
00:08:28and we'll work straight through tomorrow night.
00:08:30Um, tomorrow's Thanksgiving.
00:08:32Oh, right.
00:08:33I forgot.
00:08:34Okay.
00:08:34We'll try to be done by 3,
00:08:35so you can still make your dinners.
00:08:39Guys, I'm really sorry about the hearings on Friday.
00:08:41We have to be prepared.
00:08:42This is a very important case to the firm,
00:08:44and you will all benefit when we win.
00:08:47We're talking a very merry Christmas bonus.
00:08:52Uh, Claudia.
00:08:55I'm supposed to be with my fiancƩ's parents tomorrow.
00:08:57Becca, I thought we were grooming you for a promotion.
00:09:00I know, but what...
00:09:01Well, work has to be the priority.
00:09:03I mean, these are the sacrifices
00:09:04if you want to make it in a top firm.
00:09:06You think I like having to work on Thanksgiving?
00:09:09I have to call my sister and cancel dinner.
00:09:11Uh, I will see you at 7.
00:09:13Yes.
00:09:13Jen, it's me.
00:09:19So I actually got some exciting news today.
00:09:22Hello?
00:09:23I'm on the verge of becoming partner.
00:09:25Can you hear me?
00:09:26Sorry, I was just in the bathroom answering e-mails.
00:09:28It's the only time I get a loan.
00:09:29You were saying something about being partner?
00:09:31Yeah.
00:09:31It's kind of a really big deal.
00:09:33Only it means I can't make it tomorrow.
00:09:35I knew you were going to bail.
00:09:36I'm sorry, Jennifer.
00:09:37But something came up at work.
00:09:38You remember work, Jen?
00:09:39It means deadlines you can't control.
00:09:41Thanks.
00:09:41In your free time,
00:09:42you should give talks at the Learning Annex
00:09:44to stay-at-home moms.
00:09:46Well, I don't have any free time,
00:09:47but maybe you should.
00:09:48It might be good for you to get out of the house.
00:09:50Can we not do this?
00:09:51It's Thanksgiving,
00:09:52and I really want you to come.
00:09:53What could be more important?
00:09:55Jen, look,
00:09:55my client is depending on me to be prepared.
00:09:58I can't just call the CEO of Strauss Corporation
00:10:00and tell him...
00:10:01Wait, you're representing Strauss?
00:10:03They want to destroy the park and build a mill.
00:10:05What do you mean?
00:10:06Well, I didn't...
00:10:07How could you?
00:10:08Well, this is a very complicated case, Jen.
00:10:10Right.
00:10:10And how could a stay-at-home mom like me understand?
00:10:12No, I didn't mean that.
00:10:13I just meant that...
00:10:15Look, I have to go,
00:10:16but I'll make it up to you at Christmas, okay?
00:10:18Hello?
00:10:30Miss Parks,
00:10:31I just need a few minutes.
00:10:33Look, I admire your persistence,
00:10:35but I've got to meet a client.
00:10:36No, please.
00:10:37Just give me 15 minutes of your time,
00:10:39or you'll force me to come back tomorrow
00:10:41and I'll miss my Thanksgiving.
00:10:44Okay.
00:10:44Fine.
00:10:45Come with me.
00:10:46Okay.
00:10:50We should get started.
00:10:51We'll be there in less than 10 minutes.
00:10:52Are you out of your mind?
00:10:57Are you out of your mind?
00:10:58Not you.
00:11:01Uh, do we have to hold hands?
00:11:03It's important that I have your full attention.
00:11:06Not everyone gets this opportunity.
00:11:09Not everyone gets this opportunity.
00:11:10Really?
00:11:11Why am I so lucky?
00:11:13Because you need it.
00:11:15And today should have been an important day for you.
00:11:18Oh, I get it.
00:11:21I get it.
00:11:21This is, this is the partner test.
00:11:23I'll overturn the injunction.
00:11:25Do you think that's what's important to you?
00:11:29Winning the case, making partner, damn straight.
00:11:32So, who you celebrate your big news with?
00:11:35Is that what this is about?
00:11:36They think once I make partner,
00:11:38I'm going to have to get married and have kids
00:11:40and be less dedicated to my career.
00:11:42That's not going to happen.
00:11:43I don't need to celebrate big news with anybody.
00:11:46My life is perfect.
00:11:48How do you know?
00:11:52What is it that you do again?
00:11:55I'm a transpersonal psychologist.
00:12:00I never heard of a trans.
00:12:05Whatever.
00:12:06But you should know that not every woman needs
00:12:122.5 kids and a husband in a minivan to complete her.
00:12:16My friends are my family.
00:12:17That friend is my spouse.
00:12:19I wake up every morning a happy, single, successful woman
00:12:23wondering what on earth could I possibly need.
00:12:27So, you've got it all figured out, huh?
00:12:31Yeah.
00:12:32Yeah, pretty much.
00:12:33Well, I guess we'll see.
00:12:36I know what I want.
00:12:37And I'm getting it.
00:12:41We're done.
00:12:42Stop the car.
00:12:45Very well.
00:12:46Oh, wait!
00:13:04Stop that car!
00:13:05Oh, my God.
00:13:09I'm kidnapped.
00:13:12Of course, no cell phone.
00:13:16Oh, I know.
00:13:21I've been pumped.
00:13:23Okay, come out.
00:13:25Come on out.
00:13:27Hello?
00:13:33I don't have time for this.
00:13:34Hi, I'm just wondering.
00:13:43Wait, what are you doing?
00:13:48Ah!
00:13:49You still mad?
00:13:50Ah, okay.
00:13:51Hey!
00:13:51I'm late.
00:13:52We can talk later.
00:13:52This has to be illegal.
00:13:56What the hell?
00:13:58Madeline snore!
00:14:00Well, your mother's home.
00:14:02Does she know she's married to a lunatic?
00:14:03What?
00:14:27What?
00:14:27Hello?
00:14:31Excuse me.
00:14:33Hello?
00:14:34Mom, what's for dinner?
00:14:37Where's your mom?
00:14:39Right here.
00:14:40Uh...
00:14:42What?
00:14:46What?
00:14:47Oh, this can't be.
00:14:50Oh, my God.
00:14:53Mom!
00:14:57I was talking to that transpersonal freak,
00:15:05and then I blacked out.
00:15:08Mom, I'm starving.
00:15:11Well?
00:15:15The whole jar?
00:15:17Yeah.
00:15:21Come on.
00:15:23Want some?
00:15:25I have a little bit of my seal.
00:15:28What is this?
00:15:30Some kind of practical joke?
00:15:34Oh, my.
00:15:36Uh...
00:15:37That's a poopy smell.
00:15:39Wow.
00:15:40Okay.
00:15:40Do you know how to, um...
00:15:42change...
00:15:44her?
00:15:45No!
00:15:51Cookies?
00:15:53Diaper.
00:15:53Diaper.
00:15:53Diaper.
00:15:57Let's go.
00:16:00Okay.
00:16:01No, not you.
00:16:02No, not you.
00:16:04Stop screaming.
00:16:05No, not you.
00:16:06No, not you.
00:16:07Please, please, pretty, please, stop.
00:16:10No, not you.
00:16:11Jessica.
00:16:12Jessica, it's me, Claudia.
00:16:13No.
00:16:14Claudia, you're boss.
00:16:15No.
00:16:16No, not you.
00:16:17Please.
00:16:18No.
00:16:19No, not you.
00:16:19No.
00:16:20No, not you.
00:16:21Rebecca Hall, please.
00:16:25No, not you.
00:16:26No.
00:16:27Becca.
00:16:28Becca, thank God.
00:16:29Do you remember that woman that came...
00:16:32You work for me.
00:16:33No, I am not.
00:16:37Rebecca, please.
00:16:38Becca, please don't hang up.
00:16:39Don't...
00:16:39Okay, I have to get out of here and straighten this thing out.
00:16:44Can we have the cookies back?
00:16:47Can we have a cookie back?
00:16:52Well, what do I do with you?
00:16:54Um, where does your father work?
00:16:58At the office.
00:16:59What office?
00:17:00You know the one he works at.
00:17:03Mom?
00:17:04Will you stop calling me mom?
00:17:06I'm not your mom, and you're not my kids.
00:17:08Look, I'm nobody's mom.
00:17:12I just...
00:17:12I don't belong here, okay?
00:17:14You don't want to be your mom?
00:17:16No!
00:17:18I mean...
00:17:21Where would...
00:17:21Yes!
00:17:23I am your mom, see?
00:17:25I mean, who else would I be?
00:17:27Your mom would never give us candy.
00:17:29Well, because it's part of the game.
00:17:32The fake mom game we're playing.
00:17:34Isn't it fun?
00:17:35It's kind of fun.
00:17:37Okay, so...
00:17:38I'm your mom, and we're having fun,
00:17:41and we're gonna go in the car and have more fun.
00:17:43Okay?
00:17:44All right.
00:17:45Let's go.
00:17:46Come on.
00:17:48We're gonna go for a really nice ride.
00:17:52It'll be fun in...
00:17:53On what?
00:17:55In a minivan.
00:17:58Uh-uh.
00:17:58Come on.
00:17:59Come on.
00:18:00Okay, I want to do that all by myself, see, Mom.
00:18:08I want to do it all by myself.
00:18:11What?
00:18:11I want to do it by myself.
00:18:13Okay, you do it by yourself.
00:18:15What do you think I got, Miss Blitz?
00:18:17Yes.
00:18:18Let's go.
00:18:19We don't have all that.
00:18:20Let me do it.
00:18:23Okay.
00:18:24You getting there?
00:18:26The arm in here.
00:18:28Okay, and what about the other arm?
00:18:29And the...
00:18:31Here.
00:18:33Here.
00:18:34I can't do it.
00:18:35You can't do it?
00:18:36Let me do it.
00:18:36Let me do it.
00:18:37Okay.
00:18:38Okay.
00:18:41Oops.
00:18:42Like that?
00:18:43Oh, good.
00:18:44It's not right.
00:18:45Is this good?
00:18:45Can we just leave it like this?
00:18:47Okay.
00:18:48Okay.
00:18:48Oh, there we go.
00:18:49There's one.
00:18:51Okay.
00:18:52All right.
00:18:53There we go.
00:18:53I think we're almost there.
00:18:55Because I'm a Harvard grad.
00:18:57Oh, ow.
00:19:08This is kind of a fun game.
00:19:34I am the baby whisperer.
00:19:38Are you excited?
00:19:39You want to switch?
00:19:40Sure.
00:19:46No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:19:52This kid, stop it.
00:19:54Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it.
00:19:56Now.
00:19:56Now, now, now, now.
00:19:58Now, now, now, now.
00:20:00Seriously.
00:20:01Seriously, seriously.
00:20:03Seriously.
00:20:04Let me wake up.
00:20:05What the hell?
00:20:09Mommy swore.
00:20:11Yeah, you wait until I find Dina.
00:20:12You're going to learn some new ones.
00:20:14Yay!
00:20:15Hey, Mom, you're never this cool.
00:20:16How long is this game going to last?
00:20:18Hopefully not much longer.
00:20:19Aww.
00:20:32You need to go to the bathroom.
00:20:34You have to wait.
00:20:34Good morning.
00:20:36Thank God.
00:20:37Where's that woman from this morning?
00:20:38Gina?
00:20:39Gina?
00:20:39Gina, I don't know.
00:20:41Gina, I'm sorry, Mrs.
00:20:42Mrs.
00:20:43I'm not a Mrs.
00:20:43It's me.
00:20:45Imagine me without these kids, okay?
00:20:47Armani suits.
00:20:49Memory isn't what it used to be, ma'am.
00:20:51What?
00:20:53Bathroom.
00:20:54Can I use the bathroom?
00:20:56Well, I'm not supposed to.
00:20:59Sure, it's on the second floor.
00:21:01Let's go.
00:21:02Let's go.
00:21:03Wait, what about Amy?
00:21:04Who?
00:21:04Her.
00:21:05Oh.
00:21:10Now, I'm going to go find somebody, and I need you both on your best behavior.
00:21:14Okay.
00:21:14Okay?
00:21:17Okay.
00:21:18Mom!
00:21:18Um, I need to go.
00:21:21Oh, right.
00:21:22Okay.
00:21:22Right over there.
00:21:23Oh, wait for me.
00:21:24Here's a...
00:21:25Stay.
00:21:32Jessica, it's me.
00:21:34Do I know you?
00:21:36Uh, uh, yeah.
00:21:36I'm a legal secretary in patent, and, uh, Mike Finn, my boss, wants to see Gina, the woman
00:21:41who's doing the psych evaluations for the firm.
00:21:42I'll tell Mike the firm's not doing psych evaluations.
00:21:44Yes, they are.
00:21:45Gina, the transpersonal psychologist.
00:21:47You must have seen her.
00:21:48She was here.
00:21:49Okay, listen.
00:21:50Whatever your name is, if they were doing psych evaluations, I'd know about it.
00:21:53I'd have booked it.
00:21:54They ruled in our favor.
00:21:57I told you we'd win that case.
00:21:59Great work on that, Becca.
00:22:00Thanks, John.
00:22:01And are we still in for lunch with Jim?
00:22:02Sure, but let's push it to 1.30.
00:22:04Sure.
00:22:09Mom!
00:22:14Hey, how you doing?
00:22:15How are you doing?
00:22:16What's up?
00:22:18Uh, excuse me.
00:22:23Did, did, did, did you forget somebody?
00:22:32Are we going next to the navigator?
00:22:35No, I asked her to wait outside the bathroom, and she was not there.
00:22:39There he is.
00:22:40Oh, you see, I knew your mom would come back.
00:22:44Okay, let's go.
00:22:45I hate you.
00:22:53Now, where are we going?
00:22:57The only place I know around here.
00:23:01Shut up, Amy.
00:23:03Just shut up.
00:23:08Claudia, I'm glad I found you.
00:23:10Gina, what is happening?
00:23:12What have you done?
00:23:13It's funny that you should ask, because in the heat of the moment, I forgot to tell you.
00:23:19When you said, what more could I possibly need?
00:23:24I must say, with a remarkable assurance for a life so thoroughly unexamined,
00:23:30I thought it might be worthwhile for you to weigh that assurance against balance.
00:23:38Balance?
00:23:39I had a balanced life.
00:23:41Now, send me back.
00:23:43Shh.
00:23:43You're a lawyer, and I realize, you might think you know something of scales and balance.
00:23:47I'm never blindfolded.
00:23:49But all I've done is remove yours, so you can examine what balance might really look like.
00:23:59And I'm afraid that until you do, you're stuck here.
00:24:10Let's go, let's go.
00:24:11Come on, come on.
00:24:12Let me get up first.
00:24:16Okay, shut the cameras.
00:24:18I want to jump the shot.
00:24:20There we go, mateys.
00:24:24Keep this up there.
00:24:27Without the signed depositions, we don't have a shot.
00:24:29Thanks.
00:24:30I think it's my turn now.
00:24:30Before I say anything, I'm sorry for just showing up.
00:24:32I had no place else to go.
00:24:34Since when do you apologize for coming over?
00:24:36You wouldn't believe what happened to me.
00:24:38I mean, look at me.
00:24:39And there are these kids.
00:24:42I know that look.
00:24:44They're driving you crazy.
00:24:45Harper, your cousins are here.
00:24:47Thanks, Mom.
00:24:49Hi, Jake.
00:24:50Come on, Harpy.
00:24:51Come on.
00:24:52But whose are they?
00:24:54Right.
00:24:54They're always bills when they're being bad.
00:24:56Who?
00:24:56Exactly.
00:24:57Where's Tim when I need him?
00:24:59Off at his poker game.
00:25:00Okay, Jen, you don't get it.
00:25:01I don't know how I got here.
00:25:02I was at work, and then I was kidnapped, and then I'm in this altered reality, and I don't
00:25:08know how to get back.
00:25:08Whoa.
00:25:09What?
00:25:09When's the last time you had a full night's sleep?
00:25:12I don't know.
00:25:13I mean, I see you every day, but this is...
00:25:14I see you every day?
00:25:17Did something happen to you?
00:25:18Did you hit your head or something?
00:25:20I see you every day.
00:25:22Let me get you a cup of tea.
00:25:24Come on.
00:25:25Come on.
00:25:25Over here.
00:25:27Harper.
00:25:27Harper.
00:25:28Take Jake and Amy out back.
00:25:29I don't want you playing near the street.
00:25:30Okay, Mom.
00:25:31Come on, guys.
00:25:31Isn't this fabulous?
00:25:38All this stuff just arrived.
00:25:40Can you believe what this will do to our town, our park, our kids?
00:25:45Be right back.
00:25:46What's wrong?
00:26:07I think I'm reminiscing.
00:26:10Oh, I haven't laughed this hard in so long.
00:26:19Hey, let's go get some dinner.
00:26:21Right.
00:26:21Who's going to watch the kids?
00:26:25Hello?
00:26:27It's Bill.
00:26:28Yes, they're here.
00:26:31I'll let her know.
00:26:32Bye.
00:26:33Bill's going to be late.
00:26:34You'll be in bed by the time he gets home.
00:26:37All right, get some beer tonight, and I'll make Mom's
00:26:40Pies.
00:26:40That would be my Thanksgiving contribution.
00:26:42Great.
00:26:43But they will spoil before Thanksgiving comes along.
00:26:46It's only November 3rd.
00:26:50That's not possible.
00:26:54I must be sleepwalking.
00:26:56I know the feeling.
00:26:57And if I don't answer my emails while the kids are calm,
00:27:00I'm going to end up waking up at 4 and then feeling like you.
00:27:03You worked so hard.
00:27:04I never knew how hard you worked.
00:27:05I'm sorry.
00:27:07It really amazes me.
00:27:08You just noticed?
00:27:10Yeah.
00:27:11I've been really wrapped up.
00:27:12Sorry.
00:27:13What else?
00:27:14Tell me everything.
00:27:15What have I missed?
00:27:16Okay, you don't have to overdo it.
00:27:18I know you're always there for me.
00:27:20What's up?
00:27:26Are you and Bill okay?
00:27:27Did we see a minute?
00:27:29You two?
00:27:30Made for each other.
00:27:32Bill's probably just freaking out because he's got another birthday coming up.
00:27:36All you need is a good night's sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be back to normal.
00:27:40Oh, I hope so.
00:27:43Well, Dan, if tomorrow isn't like today, and I pray it's not,
00:27:53it's really nice to know that you and I can have this.
00:27:57I hope so.
00:27:59I hope so.
00:28:03I hope so.
00:29:06Sorry, you startled me.
00:29:10You're the guy from Sunrise Coffee.
00:29:13Well, if that's who you want me to be, baby.
00:29:17No, no, sorry. I'll do that. Just come to bed.
00:29:20It's okay. I just think I'll go work.
00:29:25Oh, I get it.
00:29:26You're still mad about this morning?
00:29:29Honey, it was just a suggestion. Can we just drop it?
00:29:32No. I'm really mad. And I think I'll just go sleep on the couch.
00:29:37Are you kidding?
00:29:37Well, I have to think about what you said this morning, and I've been with the kids all day, and not a moment to myself, and now you're here.
00:29:45Oh, it's that time again. Better not say a word.
00:29:48Oh, that's so lame. You know what this is about.
00:29:52Fine. I'll sleep on the couch.
00:30:01Good house.
00:30:02Mommy! Wake up!
00:30:15Mommy, I gotta poo.
00:30:17Oh. Tell me about it.
00:30:23Okay. Let's go.
00:30:25Okay.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:31Okay.
00:30:41Perfect.
00:30:44Okay.
00:30:44You are gonna look so cute.
00:30:51Don't lie tight.
00:30:53But they're so cute.
00:30:54Don't lie tight.
00:30:59Well, then what do you want to wear?
00:31:14You think that's funny, do you?
00:31:21Yes.
00:31:28Oh, that's my coffee.
00:31:29This cup?
00:31:30That, I was waiting. That's mine.
00:31:32I don't...
00:31:32I need my morning coffee.
00:31:34Oh, okay.
00:31:37You're a very decent man.
00:31:39What, no, uh, no big family breakfast today?
00:31:43Yeah, things are gonna be a little different around here from what you're used to, and you can start by making your own breakfast.
00:31:49Okay.
00:31:51Where's Jake?
00:31:52Is he staying home from school today?
00:31:53Jake, wake up. You have school.
00:32:00Are the pancakes ready?
00:32:03No, it's too late. You overslept.
00:32:05Can I have an extra snack in my lunch? I owe Molly.
00:32:08Oh, I'm sorry.
00:32:38I know.
00:32:39You do?
00:32:39Yeah.
00:32:40Because if you're in on this, it would really help.
00:32:43Just let me know what time you want me home tonight for my surprise party.
00:32:48Happy birthday, Dad!
00:32:50Oh, thanks, buddy.
00:32:51Happy birthday, Daddy!
00:32:53Hey, Mom, can we give Dad his birthday present, please?
00:32:56Mm-hmm.
00:32:57Yep.
00:32:58Do you remember where we put it?
00:33:00Yeah, I do.
00:33:03Really thought I'd buy you forgot my birthday. Come on.
00:33:06It's big and it's heavy.
00:33:08Here you go.
00:33:19Oh.
00:33:21Plunge runner?
00:33:25With the carbide bits.
00:33:26I love you.
00:33:29Kids!
00:33:30I like that scrunchy ladle.
00:33:41Come on, garage.
00:33:42Mm-hmm.
00:33:43Okay, um...
00:33:56Jake, do you remember me saying anything about your father's surprise party tonight?
00:34:00I have to wear a tie, say hello to everybody, and be polite.
00:34:04Yeah, anything about how many people or what time?
00:34:06I have to wear a tie, say hello to everybody, and be polite.
00:34:07Bye, Mom.
00:34:08Bye, Mom.
00:34:09Bye, Mom.
00:34:09Bye, Mom.
00:34:14The door!
00:34:15The...
00:34:16The door!
00:34:18Let's just let me do it, because I don't do anything else right here.
00:34:22Claudia!
00:34:29I'm sorry, I got Bill's message, and I should have offered to pick up Jake today, but it's
00:34:34you, and I assumed even with the party, had it all under control.
00:34:37See you tonight.
00:34:38What time?
00:34:38Don't worry, we're not going to mess up the surprise.
00:34:41Seven o'clock.
00:34:42I can't wait for one of your famous cakes.
00:34:44Can you shut the door?
00:34:58What now?
00:35:00Mommy and me?
00:35:01How am I supposed to do that when I'm throwing a party for the whole town?
00:35:0332 rolls of toilet paper, all right?
00:35:11Because if you run out, and gosh, if there's ever a strike on this, and now I'm getting the
00:35:16minivan thing.
00:35:17I mean, it's like, if you're buying...
00:35:19Amy!
00:35:25Amy!
00:35:26Amy!
00:35:27Amy!
00:35:28Oh, my God.
00:35:30Honey, are you...
00:35:31Are you okay, Mommy?
00:35:32So sorry.
00:35:33That was fun!
00:35:55Oh, you let Amy frost the cake.
00:35:57Bill will love that.
00:35:59Anything for my husband.
00:36:05You've got that pre-party crazy look, and everything always turns out perfect.
00:36:09So, let's take the kids to the park.
00:36:11Grab the timers.
00:36:19So this is the park.
00:36:21That was into my dream last night, that weird dream, I was a successful trial lawyer, representing
00:36:30Strauss.
00:36:31So, it was a nightmare.
00:36:33Yeah, but I had really nice shoes.
00:36:36Anyway, I woke up, and I was wondering, how did I get here?
00:36:38What's the point?
00:36:40What's the goal?
00:36:40I mean, I was going to take the legal profession by storm, and you were going to be an environmental
00:36:45lobbyist.
00:36:46Do you remember?
00:36:47What happened?
00:36:49Exactly.
00:36:50Life happened.
00:36:52Amy!
00:36:53No!
00:36:54Honey!
00:36:55Stop!
00:36:55Be careful!
00:36:56No.
00:36:57Okay.
00:37:00Okay, are you all right, honey?
00:37:03Amy!
00:37:04Amy, come back!
00:37:05Someone has a lot of energy.
00:37:07Hey!
00:37:07Go down there!
00:37:09Amy!
00:37:09Amy!
00:37:10Amy!
00:37:12Okay, there's got to be a little black dress in here somewhere.
00:37:16Mom!
00:37:18Mom!
00:37:20I'm here.
00:37:22Mom, can you tie my tie?
00:37:25How old are you now, Seven?
00:37:29Time for you to learn how to tie your own tie.
00:37:32Come here.
00:37:32Little, big.
00:37:36Little, big.
00:37:37Big goes over the little.
00:37:39And wrap it around again.
00:37:41In front, and then up the back.
00:37:46Good.
00:37:47And down the front through the rabbit hole.
00:37:51Wow!
00:37:52I did it.
00:37:53Yeah, you did.
00:37:54Thanks, Mom.
00:37:55You're the best.
00:37:56Oh!
00:37:58Bye.
00:37:59Okay.
00:37:59Okay.
00:38:02So call me crazy, call me crazy, don't feel the babies.
00:38:16So call me crazy.
00:38:17Are you going to give me a rematch on Sing Star later?
00:38:19I know I can beat your rendition of Sweet Caroline.
00:38:21I know I'm going to win.
00:38:23Don't ask about Bill's job, right?
00:38:26Oh, I'm sorry.
00:38:27Joe told me.
00:38:28Was I not supposed to know?
00:38:29No, it's fine.
00:38:30I just want to make sure he has his fax right.
00:38:32What did I say?
00:38:34Just that Bill got passed over there.
00:38:36I don't know what you should get.
00:38:38I don't know.
00:38:38It's so unfair.
00:38:40Yeah.
00:38:40Dad!
00:38:41He's here!
00:38:42He's out!
00:38:43I'll get the stereo.
00:38:49Surprise!
00:38:51Surprise!
00:38:51Surprise!
00:38:52Wow!
00:38:53Thank you, guys.
00:38:54Hey!
00:38:54Hey!
00:38:55Hi!
00:38:56Thanks for coming.
00:38:56Happy birthday.
00:39:02And then Claudia and I had to sleep in the park and nearly got arrested.
00:39:06I can't believe I backpacked through Paris on my honeymoon.
00:39:13Because that's the things that you do before kids.
00:39:17Right.
00:39:17Yeah.
00:39:19I should tell our lawyer.
00:39:20Yet another benefit of saving the park.
00:39:22A place for our transients to sleep.
00:39:24I hope he falls for that one.
00:39:27Oh, my God.
00:39:28That would make an easy win for you.
00:39:30For us.
00:39:32As a town.
00:39:35That's such a nice table.
00:39:37Come on.
00:39:37I hardly knew what I was doing when I made this.
00:39:39Wait.
00:39:40You made this?
00:39:42And you're going to make so many more cool things with that.
00:39:45The router thingy that I gave you.
00:39:47Have a great wife or what?
00:39:51Oh, yeah.
00:39:56Oh.
00:39:58Looks like someone's getting lucky tonight.
00:40:00And apparently it's not me.
00:40:07Thanks.
00:40:07He's expecting birthday sex, right?
00:40:15That's the married rule.
00:40:17Am I interrupting?
00:40:18No, not at all.
00:40:19So how are things going with Amy's potty training?
00:40:22Oh, well, you know, we're coping.
00:40:25Well, it's good you don't push her to get out of her diapers.
00:40:27Zoe, keep her out of preschool another year.
00:40:29I have Scott back a year and, you know, he's getting straight A's.
00:40:32Let's check to him.
00:40:33Better?
00:40:34Uh, yes, Sarah.
00:40:36Could you take this garbage out?
00:40:37Thanks.
00:40:38Thanks.
00:40:39My God.
00:40:40I'm a total failure as a mother.
00:40:42What are you talking about?
00:40:43You're practically Martha Stewart.
00:40:45You're doing a great job.
00:40:46No, Claudia's not doing a great job.
00:40:48Her bill would be promoted.
00:40:49Amy would be out of diapers.
00:40:50And Jake's grades wouldn't be so bad.
00:40:52They're not that bad.
00:40:54I mean, he's getting C's.
00:40:55C's?
00:40:56Goodbye, Heidi's.
00:41:02Wait.
00:41:02I can fix all that.
00:41:05Maybe that's why I'm here.
00:41:07If I get them on track, then I'll get back.
00:41:12Back.
00:41:13Back where?
00:41:14Back.
00:41:15Back.
00:41:16Back.
00:41:17Where that other place was.
00:41:20I'm going to go see if Amy needs Jake.
00:41:22Um, is that important?
00:41:37This?
00:41:37Are you kidding?
00:41:39Yeah, I have to do this.
00:41:40I can fix this.
00:41:43I, I didn't know before, but I know now.
00:41:54Good night.
00:41:56Uh-huh.
00:41:57Mom, where's that lucky shirt?
00:42:20There's a lucky shirt?
00:42:21Mom, come on.
00:42:23Stop pulling around.
00:42:24I can't play without it.
00:42:25Mommy.
00:42:26Try the laundry.
00:42:27Mommy.
00:42:28Got it.
00:42:30Mommy.
00:42:33Mommy.
00:42:35Mommy.
00:42:36I'm coming.
00:42:43Honey, I asked you to poop.
00:42:45To potty.
00:42:46Come on.
00:42:46Now, now go.
00:42:52Mom, come on.
00:42:53You gotta leave.
00:42:55No.
00:42:57Okay, we'll do that later.
00:42:58Are we going to the soccer game?
00:43:00Yes, we're going to the soccer game.
00:43:05Okay.
00:43:06Okay, have fun.
00:43:12Wait, aren't you coming?
00:43:13Do I have to?
00:43:15You're the assistant coach.
00:43:23Good one.
00:43:26Ah, late again.
00:43:28Sorry, Claudia.
00:43:29He may be a star student,
00:43:30but with all the after-school academic
00:43:32enrichment programs,
00:43:33it's nearly impossible
00:43:33to get him here on time.
00:43:37Amy,
00:43:38if you have to go to the bathroom,
00:43:40I want you to tell me.
00:43:41Okay, Mommy.
00:43:45So,
00:43:46I decided to push Amy.
00:43:49Mm-hmm.
00:43:50It's an ordeal.
00:43:51Well, I know,
00:43:52but it was so worth it
00:43:53for Presbyterian.
00:43:56Presbyterian?
00:43:59I know you're the head of the PTA
00:44:01and all about the public education,
00:44:03but don't be like that
00:44:04just because I put Ty
00:44:05in private preschool.
00:44:07It's a fact.
00:44:09Presbyterian is the best.
00:44:15Yay, Jake!
00:44:16Go!
00:44:17Great goal, Jake!
00:44:19Great goal!
00:44:21Good boy!
00:44:22Woo!
00:44:25He's very good at soccer.
00:44:29Okay.
00:44:33Hey, kids.
00:44:35Oh, you're home.
00:44:36It's 5.30.
00:44:37Uh-huh.
00:44:39Okay.
00:44:39Everyone in the living room.
00:44:41I need to talk to everybody.
00:44:43Let's go.
00:44:44Go on.
00:44:44Okay.
00:44:47So, we're not doing badly.
00:44:48We're just not excelling.
00:44:50So, I've set some goals.
00:44:51for us to achieve.
00:44:52Yum, yum, yum.
00:44:53Amy, starting with you.
00:44:54I want you out of diapers
00:44:55and in Presbyterian.
00:44:56Amy?
00:44:57La, la, la.
00:44:58Okay, we'll get back to you.
00:44:59Jake, grades up.
00:45:01Starting with that D in math.
00:45:03Bill?
00:45:04Senior management.
00:45:05And, uh, what is it you'll be doing
00:45:09to change and get ahead?
00:45:10Well, in order to help,
00:45:11I will be cutting back
00:45:12on some of my commitments,
00:45:13starting with assistant soccer coach.
00:45:15What?
00:45:17Ah!
00:45:18Discipline, focus,
00:45:20preparation.
00:45:24Let's go over your strategies.
00:45:25What is this?
00:45:36This is ridiculous.
00:45:40We're not gonna have any time
00:45:40to spend together.
00:45:41These are the sacrifices
00:45:42if you want to get ahead,
00:45:43and we do.
00:45:45Okay, fine.
00:45:46If you are going through
00:45:47some weird phase
00:45:47and need to
00:45:48implement progress change,
00:45:51then fine.
00:45:52If it'll make you happy,
00:45:53then we'll do it.
00:45:55Right, kids?
00:45:58Okay, I'll try.
00:46:00Amy?
00:46:00What about you?
00:46:05According to this,
00:46:06I'll be up late tonight
00:46:07working on a proposal
00:46:08to improve the company.
00:46:10Yes.
00:46:11Amy.
00:46:25Hey, hon,
00:46:26I'm just heading up
00:46:27to the wood shop.
00:46:27Hold on.
00:46:28No.
00:46:30I highlighted
00:46:30the important part.
00:46:32How to succeed in business.
00:46:34Okay.
00:46:34An idiot's guide
00:46:35to climb in a corporate ladder.
00:46:37Yeah.
00:46:38I'll start reading.
00:46:39Okay.
00:46:40Go ahead.
00:46:41Hey, what's up?
00:46:44I just don't get it.
00:46:46You will.
00:46:47You will.
00:46:47Here, let's have a look.
00:46:48Look, right here.
00:46:50What does circle
00:46:51the individual units
00:46:53and regroup by tens mean?
00:46:54Can I go practice
00:46:55with my friends?
00:46:56I missed two goals last week.
00:46:58No, no.
00:46:59Just look.
00:47:00I can figure this out.
00:47:02I, um...
00:47:02Why can't I figure this out?
00:47:04I should be able
00:47:05to figure this out.
00:47:06Um, I have an idea.
00:47:09Did anyone ever teach you
00:47:10how to carry the tens?
00:47:13Okay.
00:47:13Well, we're gonna try
00:47:14this together.
00:47:15Five...
00:47:16And 45.
00:47:20Okay.
00:47:20So that...
00:47:21What's five and five?
00:47:22Ten.
00:47:22Okay.
00:47:22Oh, if I can just get Amy
00:47:29out of diapers,
00:47:29I know she can ace
00:47:30the shapes test.
00:47:31But just to be sure,
00:47:32I enrolled her in baby prep.
00:47:34We start the day
00:47:34after tomorrow at two.
00:47:36But that's during my rehearsal
00:47:37for the Thanksgiving fundraiser.
00:47:39Amy's the only three-year-old
00:47:40that can do the part.
00:47:41Well, I'm sorry, Jen,
00:47:43but if we don't get into
00:47:43Presbyterian,
00:47:44we can kiss prep school goodbye.
00:47:45And Jake has soccer
00:47:46for the Ivies.
00:47:47What does Amy have
00:47:48to get her in?
00:47:48She's three.
00:47:50Well, you have to think
00:47:51like an admissions head, okay?
00:47:53You'll be over-prepared,
00:47:54over-accomplished.
00:47:55That's how you get in.
00:47:55You'll be over-accomplished.
00:48:25No!
00:48:42That's supposed to mean me!
00:48:43Gina!
00:49:05Gina!
00:49:11Gina!
00:49:13Gina!
00:49:13Claudia, dear,
00:49:16how nice to see you.
00:49:17You ruined me!
00:49:19I need to have my old life back.
00:49:20I could do that life.
00:49:21I did it well.
00:49:22I did it very well.
00:49:23So do your thing
00:49:24and send me back.
00:49:31You're not ready?
00:49:32Yes, I am.
00:49:33I am more than ready.
00:49:34No, Claudia,
00:49:35I have given you
00:49:36the opportunity
00:49:37of a lifetime,
00:49:39a gift few have experienced.
00:49:41Are you sure you want to end it
00:49:43before you've truly come
00:49:44to understand it?
00:49:45Yes.
00:49:46I want to end it now.
00:49:48Please.
00:49:49But, um,
00:49:50it's my busy season
00:49:52and I, uh,
00:49:54I wasn't expecting you yet.
00:49:56But when?
00:49:58Soon.
00:50:00Well, should I get in touch?
00:50:01How do I find you again?
00:50:02I'll find you.
00:50:03My feet are killing me,
00:50:15but worth it.
00:50:16Can you believe the deals
00:50:17they had in there?
00:50:20What is wrong with you today?
00:50:22You look forward
00:50:22to the pre-Thanksgiving blowout
00:50:23every year.
00:50:24I do.
00:50:26Come on,
00:50:26what's wrong?
00:50:27I'm just tired of all this.
00:50:30I'm tired of
00:50:31not making progress
00:50:32with Bill
00:50:32and the kids
00:50:33and most of all,
00:50:35I just can't figure out
00:50:36how to stop
00:50:36what's happening to me.
00:50:38I don't get
00:50:39what was so wrong before.
00:50:40You were doing great.
00:50:42Tell me about it.
00:50:44Stop making yourself crazy.
00:50:45Just go back
00:50:46to the way things were.
00:50:47I wish I could.
00:50:50God.
00:50:51Target.
00:50:52Costco.
00:50:54Soccer mom.
00:50:54I guess I just have to face
00:50:57settling for less.
00:51:00Not that it doesn't have
00:51:01its moments.
00:51:03Just wanted more.
00:51:06So go get it.
00:51:07Who's stopping you?
00:51:08You know,
00:51:09maybe if you wouldn't be
00:51:09so focused on no one
00:51:11living up to your expectations,
00:51:12you've noticed that lately
00:51:13you're not exactly
00:51:14living up to theirs.
00:51:15I'm sorry you feel like
00:51:16your life here
00:51:16is one big failure.
00:51:17What are you getting
00:51:18so mad at?
00:51:19I thought we were
00:51:20in this together.
00:51:21This is our life.
00:51:23Our families
00:51:23you're putting down.
00:51:24Where have you been?
00:51:49What?
00:51:50I can't have a few hours
00:51:50to myself.
00:51:51Well, you could have
00:51:52at least called.
00:51:53You're the one
00:51:53who scheduled
00:51:54our family's
00:51:54weekly progress meetings,
00:51:56remember?
00:51:56What progress?
00:51:58Meetings are canceled.
00:52:00I'm sorry I tried,
00:52:01but I failed.
00:52:02And if you knew me,
00:52:02you'd know that
00:52:03I don't fail at anything.
00:52:05So this is my fault
00:52:06for somehow not
00:52:07knowing you anymore?
00:52:10No.
00:52:11Yeah, maybe.
00:52:13Because if you did,
00:52:14you would know
00:52:14how much work meant to me
00:52:15and you wouldn't have
00:52:16asked me to give it up.
00:52:17What are you talking about?
00:52:19It was your choice
00:52:20to not be a lawyer.
00:52:23What are you...
00:52:24But...
00:52:25But how?
00:52:26I can't even imagine
00:52:27what I was thinking.
00:52:29You didn't want
00:52:29to leave the kids.
00:52:35I tried, Claudia.
00:52:37Thought of anyone
00:52:38you could balance both.
00:52:40But you chose differently.
00:52:41And now,
00:52:42out of nowhere,
00:52:42we need fixing?
00:52:44Well,
00:52:45fix yourself.
00:52:47Because the way
00:52:47I see this family
00:52:48ain't broke.
00:52:50And that has a lot
00:52:50to do with you.
00:52:52So maybe I don't know you.
00:52:54Maybe you're right.
00:52:55Not lately.
00:52:57Because the Claudia I know
00:52:58doesn't act like this.
00:53:02Neither does the Claudia I know.
00:53:05You guys were probably
00:53:06better off before.
00:53:09Finally.
00:53:11Half but looks like you
00:53:12about the girls'
00:53:24You.
00:53:28You.
00:53:33You.
00:53:35You.
00:53:39You.
00:53:40You.
00:53:41Downtown, please.
00:54:00Yes, ma'am.
00:54:11I've got something for you, Al.
00:54:18Oh, my favorite.
00:54:20How's Margaret?
00:54:21Good, good.
00:54:22You were my best.
00:54:23I'm headed up.
00:54:24Do I know you?
00:54:41Your 8 o'clock is here, Mr. Skitten.
00:54:44Send him in.
00:54:53I'm Claudia Mills.
00:54:55Claudia Mills, J.D., applying for a place in the firm.
00:54:58There's some mistake.
00:54:59I don't conduct interviews.
00:55:01Oh, sorry.
00:55:02I just wanted to go over the Jones trial.
00:55:04I'll come back.
00:55:05No, that's all right.
00:55:06We're done here.
00:55:07Oh, Jones, I read about that.
00:55:08It's a tricky defense made harder by the interpretation of the term economic benefit announced today.
00:55:13Yes, but that won't affect us because of the Supreme Court ruling on the use of public land and the winning argument used in Cox versus Doddtown.
00:55:20Yes, but the new case from the Court of Appeals applying the Supreme Court's ruling would make that argument moot.
00:55:25You might want to look into that.
00:55:28Yes.
00:55:29I don't usually conduct interviews, but I'll make an exception.
00:55:32Where did you say you're working now?
00:55:35Currently not, but I was an associate at McGovern right after Harvard Law.
00:55:40You were an alum at Harvard Law, weren't you, Mr. Skittman?
00:55:44Why did you take a break?
00:55:47To have a couple kids.
00:55:49Come back.
00:55:54I know what your firm needs, and I can deliver it.
00:56:01As a trial lawyer, I have an excellent record for wins.
00:56:04Well, that's great, but this firm's 24-7.
00:56:06Holidays, weekends, not a lot of time for personal life or family.
00:56:11As this will be your new family, are you prepared to put yours aside?
00:56:16...
00:56:17Is it your obligation?
00:56:34Uh, I can't believe it is.
00:56:37Anyways, I don't know.

00:59:52your argument have you taken depositions yet have you done an environmental study on the potential
00:59:57negative health effects of the mill have you checked original zoning laws um okay you're up against
01:00:04skint and bates you need to prove that this mill is detrimental to the town and the environment
01:00:10you need to show that we rely on this park every day and that destroying it would be devastating and
01:00:14harmful to the people and the environment
01:00:17i'm sorry for taking over like that but that lawyer i really wish you'd take on the case jen i

01:03:47This is a work of art.
01:03:51I've been forcing you to do something that you don't want to do, haven't I?
01:03:55We've both had to make sacrifices.
01:03:57Yeah, but you shouldn't sacrifice doing what you love.
01:04:02Maybe a little late for that.
01:04:03But we haven't tried it.
01:04:06Have we?
01:04:09So we try it.
01:04:10You can go to work part-time while you build an inventory to sell.
01:04:14And I can take on the part case for the town.
01:04:16And, I mean, it's not much money, but it would help.
01:04:19Really? I mean, you think we could do this?
01:04:21Yeah, I know we can.
01:04:22Okay, awesome.
01:04:29Okay.

01:05:48Thanks, honey.
01:05:49Thanks, honey.
01:05:49I'm here to work.
01:06:06Oh.
01:06:07Okay.
01:06:08Well, there are all these we have to go through, and there's just the two of us.
01:06:14Come on in, gang.
01:06:16Hey!
01:06:16Hey!
01:06:17Hey!
01:06:19I got my crown.
01:06:21Yeah.
01:06:22All right.
01:06:23Well, we have to go through all these boxes, and we're looking for the smoking gun, a document
01:06:27that they do not want us to find.
01:06:29Something that supports our case to prove that the plant is bad for the town.
01:06:33All right.
01:06:34Wait.
01:06:34Mommy, I want no butcher in the potty.
01:06:37Oh!
01:06:38Oh, excuse us.
01:06:39We have to celebrate.
01:06:40This is huge.
01:06:41This is huge.
01:06:42Okay.
01:06:43Yay.
01:06:43Okay, let's get to work.
01:06:44Okay.
01:06:45Get to work.
01:06:46I'm counting on your husband's news team to cover the pageant.
01:06:50We need the press to show how important this park and community center is to Winston.
01:06:54Hey, Mom, look what I did.
01:06:56Great.
01:06:57Great.
01:07:01Thanks.
01:07:01We'll see you at 7.
01:07:03Honey, a B-minus in math.
01:07:06Come on, let's put it up here where everyone can see.
01:07:11I'm so proud of you.
01:07:14I think I found something.
01:07:15It was buried, just like you said.
01:07:19This is great.
01:07:20If I can link this pollutant from the plant to the health problems of the kids in Summit,
01:07:25we have a case.
01:07:26Thanks to you.
01:07:31Okay, everyone, stop.
01:07:34Okay?
01:07:34The hearing's in two days.
01:07:36Your work here has been invaluable.
01:07:38Really, I couldn't have asked for a better team.
01:07:41But Thanksgiving is tomorrow, so the office is closed.
01:07:45Please go home and get ready for the pageant,
01:07:48because we need a really strong showing for the news cameras.
01:07:51All right?
01:07:52Yeah, let's show them how important this park is to us.
01:07:59Hey, guys.
01:08:00Nice outfit.
01:08:01Tim, there it is.
01:08:02A holiday felon.
01:08:03We're getting you one of these next year, buddy.
01:08:04No, we're not.
01:08:06We're not.
01:08:06This is dark, too.
01:08:18Hi, Mommy.
01:08:20Come on, Mommy, everybody.
01:08:26When summer ended, the pilgrims wanted to have a feast.
01:08:31They had plenty of food and many new friends.
01:08:34They wanted to give thanks.
01:08:42Join us, they said to the Indians.
01:08:46Join us in a big feast of Thanksgiving.
01:08:48It would be a very special holiday.
01:09:04It's Thanksgiving.
01:09:05I have to get up and start cooking.
01:09:08Come on, we only have eight hours.
01:09:15Mm-hmm.
01:09:15You look beautiful.
01:09:35I haven't showered, and I'm covered in turkey sweat.
01:09:37And you look beautiful.
01:09:46Bill, I...
01:09:48Happy Thanksgiving!
01:09:50Come on!

01:10:15All right!
01:10:16All right, all right.
01:10:46As is tradition, the winning team, that would be the mills, gets served first.
01:10:57But before I do, I want to make a toast.
01:11:01It's the one person who makes all of this possible.
01:11:06The person for whom this year and every year I am most thankful.
01:11:13My wife.
01:11:14Claudia, without you, my life would be incomplete.
01:11:25Cheers.
01:11:29I'd like to make a toast, too.
01:11:33This year, more than any other year, I'd like to thank the people in my life.
01:11:40Our life.
01:11:40You've shown me what comes from simply giving love.
01:11:48And without you, my life would be empty.
01:11:55So thank you.
01:11:57Cheers.
01:11:58Cheers.
01:11:59Cheers, guys.
01:12:02Cheers, guys.

01:12:05Cheers.
01:12:06Hey, guys.
01:12:10I need you.
01:12:16You can borrow my lucky shirt, but I need a bag.
01:12:19All right.
01:12:19Okay.
01:12:20Thanks, honey.
01:12:21I'll bring it back.
01:12:23Bye.
01:12:23You show those big city lights.
01:12:25I will.
01:12:26Well, thank you for everything.
01:12:27Okay, I won't kiss you.
01:12:28Didn't kiss you, honey.
01:12:29What?
01:12:29Don't kiss us.
01:12:31Bye, guys.
01:12:32Bye.
01:12:33Bye.
01:12:33Bye.
01:12:33Bye.
01:12:33We still have to come back.
01:12:35Bye.
01:12:35Bye.
01:12:37Okay.
01:12:39Thanks, guys.
01:12:39Bye, Claudia.
01:12:40Bye, Claudia.
01:12:40Bye.
01:12:42Bye, Claudia.
01:12:44Honey, I'm so proud of you.
01:12:45Bill, I love you.
01:12:53Go get them.
01:12:59Bye.
01:13:04Uh, courthouse, please.
01:13:06Yes, ma'am.
01:13:08Gina, what are you doing here?
01:13:10It's time, Claudia.
01:13:11No, no.
01:13:12I don't want to go back.
01:13:12No, you were right.
01:13:13I belong here.
01:13:14That's my family.
01:13:15This is my home.
01:13:16But they're not your family.
01:13:18This was just a hint of what might be.
01:13:21Ghost of Thanksgiving future, so to speak.
01:13:24No, you can't do this to me.
01:13:25You stop this car.
01:13:26They need me.
01:13:27I'm sorry.
01:13:28It's time to go back.
01:13:30Stop this car right now.
01:13:32Very well.
01:13:37Miss Barks, we're here.
01:13:44No, no.
01:13:49Take me to 9120 Barland Way.
01:13:51Please hurry.
01:13:51Hi, is, um, is Bill here?
01:14:18Bill, or Amy, or Jake.
01:14:21Sorry, you've got the wrong house.
01:14:23Please.
01:14:28What?
01:14:46Hello?
01:14:47It's Becca.
01:14:48We're all waiting.
01:14:49Where are you?
01:14:50I'll be right there.
01:14:51I'll be right there.
01:14:52Claudia, what do you think?
01:15:07Um, what do you think, Becca?
01:15:10Um, we should be much more aggressive
01:15:16with the cross-examination of the townspeople.
01:15:22Okay, I agree.
01:15:24Okay.
01:15:25Uh, why don't we go over the opening again?
01:15:28No, no.
01:15:29We have it.
01:15:30Tomorrow's Thanksgiving.
01:15:31Everyone go home and spend the holidays with your families.
01:15:33The meeting's been canceled.
01:15:36Go home.
01:15:37The office is closed.
01:15:38Becca.
01:15:41Uh, yes?
01:15:44Claudia?
01:15:45I'd like you to co-chair at the hearing on Friday.
01:15:49Absolutely.
01:15:49I, uh, won't let you down.
01:15:55Yes.
01:15:59John!
01:16:00Claudia.
01:16:01Are you ready to win?
01:16:02Yes, but in going over the case,
01:16:04I, uh, noticed that we never fully disclosed to the other side
01:16:06that the Summit plant emits potentially harmful chemicals.
01:16:10Oh, must have been an oversight.
01:16:11See you in court, partner.
01:16:12And when the plant was built in Summit by your company,
01:16:25what was the effect it had on the town?
01:16:27It created hundreds of jobs and doubled real estate values.
01:16:33No further questions.
01:16:40Your Honor, one more question, please.
01:16:43Go ahead.
01:16:48How specifically will the mill that's scheduled for the town of Winston differ
01:16:53from the one that you built in Summit?
01:16:55Not at all.
01:16:56It will be identical.
01:16:59No further questions.
01:17:04I'd like to call Howard Jones, the coach at the Summit field.
01:17:23How long have you been coaching at Summit?
01:17:26Six years.
01:17:26And your field is located near the mill, right?
01:17:30Yes, we're within a block.
01:17:35And when was the mill built?
01:17:37About three years ago.
01:17:40And since then, how many children have developed health problems?
01:17:42I object, Your Honor.
01:17:43You can't, Mr. Skinton.
01:17:49How many?
01:17:54Over 20?
01:17:55Goes to relevance.
01:17:56One more interruption, Mr. Skinton, then I'll have you removed from my courtroom
01:17:59and charged with contempt.
01:18:04Go ahead, sir.
01:18:08Yeah.
01:18:10And they all had to drop out of the soccer program as a result?
01:18:13Yes, they did.
01:18:14And prior to the mill being built,
01:18:17how many health problems did you encounter with the kids?
01:18:19None.
01:18:23No further questions.
01:18:25This court will take a 30-minute recess.
01:18:27All rise.
01:18:36All rise.
01:18:47I find in favor of the townspeople.
01:18:49The injunction stands.
01:18:50Do you really not want to make partner?
01:19:05Not like this.
01:19:07Well, then I guess you're fired.
01:19:09Then I have no reason not to tell the judge
01:19:10that my firm withheld certain documents during discovery.
01:19:13I have no idea about the disclosure.
01:19:33Wow.
01:19:35I did not see that coming.
01:19:38And I'm sorry for yesterday.
01:19:40No, I'm sorry.
01:19:41I'm sorry for everything.
01:19:43I've been so caught up in myself,
01:19:44I've just forgotten what matters most.
01:19:47And I was wondering if I could come
01:19:49and hang out with you and the kids.
01:19:51Actually, I mean, we're not busy.
01:19:53No, we're not doing anything for the rest of the day.
01:19:55Unless you have to work.
01:19:56No, no.
01:19:57I, as a matter of fact, have an extended leave.
01:20:00So today would be perfect.
01:20:02Okay.
01:20:03Okay.
01:20:03Great.
01:20:09Good morning.

01:22:14I noticed.
01:22:19Thanks.
01:22:25Oh, um, so I thought,
01:22:26I was wondering if you wanted to have dinner tomorrow night
01:22:29or the following night or the following night or...
01:22:31No.
01:22:35I don't want to wait that long.
01:22:37How about tonight?
01:22:37Can't see you.
01:22:47I was growing on Friday and ŠæŠ¾ŃŠ»Šµ theiri.
