00:00:00Are you sure?
00:00:06You feel a little worn to me, kid.
00:00:08I'm okay, Mom.
00:00:11Alright.
00:00:12Homework.
00:00:14Yep.
00:00:14Rubber band ball.
00:00:16Oh, shoot, I forgot it.
00:00:17Aw, that stinks.
00:00:21Thanks, Mom.
00:00:23I'm awesome.
00:00:24Yes, you are.
00:00:25Inhaler.
00:00:30Check.
00:00:31I love you.
00:00:33Love you, too.
00:00:34Have a good day, okay?
00:00:35Okay.
00:00:37I'll pick you up before, okay?
00:00:39Okay.
00:00:40Have a good day.
00:00:45Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
00:00:51I'm Professor Victoria Corrales.
00:00:53This is public interest law.
00:00:55Here, justice takes precedence over billable hours.
00:01:00How many of you will be pursuing a career in this area?
00:01:04Then the special assignment I'm about to give you will be a novel experience.
00:01:09Local charitable organizations have recommended disadvantaged clients who need help.
00:01:14You will be assigned someone to advocate for.
00:01:16Help them get a job.
00:01:18Prevent foreclosure.
00:01:19Get access to health care.
00:01:21Whatever their greatest need is.
00:01:23How successful you are by the end of the semester will affect your grade.
00:01:27Professor Corrales, what aspect of this assignment relates to the law?
00:01:31And you are?
00:01:32Wit.
00:01:34Sheffield.
00:01:36Ah, Sheffield.
00:01:38The goal of public interest law, Mr. Sheffield, is to make a difference in people's lives.
00:01:43Well, I understand that.
00:01:44I just don't see the point.
00:01:45Right now, the point is your grade.
00:01:48I hope by the time you graduate in May, you will have discovered a greater point.
00:01:53You will be handed a file on your assignment.
00:01:56You will check in with me regularly to update me on your progress.
00:02:00Joseph?
00:02:00Hello?
00:02:13Ms. Birch, this is a school nurse calling.
00:02:15Is this about Shane?
00:02:16Yes, it is.
00:02:17He's having an asthma attack.
00:02:18Okay, um, did you give him something with caffeine because that helps him breathe?
00:02:21Yes, we gave him a soda.
00:02:23Okay, good.
00:02:23I can be there in 20 minutes.
00:02:25Okay.
00:02:26Okay.
00:02:26No calls during work hours, Kylie.
00:02:29You know the rules.
00:02:30I know.
00:02:30I'm sorry, Mr. Hennessey.
00:02:31That was my son's school, and he's having an asthma attack.
00:02:34I have to go and get him and take him to the doctor.
00:02:35You've missed four days in the last three weeks.
00:02:37Think you can just come in whenever you feel like it?
00:02:38That's not fair.
00:02:39My son was sick on those days.
00:02:41I can't take him to daycare.
00:02:42He can't go to school.
00:02:43I have to stay home.
00:02:43You better figure out how to keep your personal problems from affecting your job, or I'll have
00:02:47no choice but to fire you.
00:02:48Really?
00:02:49Why don't you fire me?
00:02:50We'll be the first time.
00:02:51Fine.
00:02:51You're fired.
00:02:52Great.
00:02:56Professor Carlos?
00:03:08Yes, Mr. Sheffield?
00:03:09About this special assignment.
00:03:11You're persistent.
00:03:12I'll give you that.
00:03:12I'm going into corporate law.
00:03:13Most of my clients won't be from this, um...
00:03:15Class?
00:03:20Mr. Sheffield, do you understand the concept of being an advocate?
00:03:25Interceding for the needs of clients?
00:03:28It's not my fault this Kylie Birch screwed up her life.
00:03:32So, poverty is a character flaw?
00:03:34She needs to take responsibility for where she's at.
00:03:37Just as you can take credit for having been born into wealth and privilege?
00:03:39Why do you want to be a lawyer, Mr. Sheffield?
00:03:43I really don't see why my motives are relevant here, Professor.
00:03:47Here's what's relevant, Mr. Sheffield.
00:03:49I expect my students to think about who they want to be as human beings, as well as lawyers.
00:03:55Contrary to popular opinion, the two do not have to be mutually exclusive.
00:04:00Is there anything else?
00:04:02Guess not.
00:04:02Well, this is a new record, Kylie.
00:04:15You made it three weeks.
00:04:16I had to take Shane to the doctor, so I had to leave work.
00:04:19And I wasn't on the job long enough to get sick leave, so...
00:04:22So, did you try to reason with your boss, or did you just storm out?
00:04:25Kylie.
00:04:28Now, you can't expect your employer to care as much about your son as you do.
00:04:31Now, I understand your frustration, but you've got to find a less confrontational way to deal with it.
00:04:36What does your doctor say?
00:04:37You mean doctors.
00:04:39Because every time I take him to the emergency room or a clinic, it's a different one.
00:04:42Oh, but always a first-year resident doing on-the-job training.
00:04:45You know, they just want to get rid of Shane so that they can move on to the next patient that they don't know and they don't care about.
00:04:50I know it's hard, Kylie.
00:04:52You know, something's just come up that I think's going to help.
00:04:54There's a new program at Morgan College.
00:04:56Professor Corrales in the law school has a mentor program, and one of her students is going to work with you.
00:05:00Patty, what on earth is a college student going to do for me?
00:05:03Well, hopefully, help you find a better job than one of the ones you've had so far.
00:05:08Now, here's her phone number.
00:05:11Call her Kylie.
00:05:12She'll arrange to introduce you to her student.
00:05:16I believe that's five in a row.
00:05:31Your turn.
00:05:34Pull!
00:05:34Ah, concentrate, wit.
00:05:41Point and focus.
00:05:44Try again.
00:05:46Pull!
00:05:50No, no, no, wit.
00:05:52How many times do I have to tell you?
00:05:53Mount ahead of the bird.
00:05:55That's what I'm trying to do.
00:05:56Well, you're lagging, wit.
00:05:57Go in for the kill aggressively.
00:05:59Lunch is nearly ready, Benjamin.
00:06:02You're riding with me, wit.
00:06:03So, how's school, dear?
00:06:08Fine.
00:06:11I got an odd assignment in my public interest law class.
00:06:14That's, uh, Corrales.
00:06:16Am I right?
00:06:17Yeah.
00:06:19With her radical ideas, it's amazing she got tenure.
00:06:23Well, what's the assignment, wit?
00:06:25I have to mentor a disadvantaged person.
00:06:28Oh, that sounds interesting.
00:06:29It's a law school, not a social welfare department.
00:06:32Just hang in there, son.
00:06:34After you graduate, you'll never have to put up
00:06:36this kind of nonsense again.
00:06:37Professor Corrales?
00:06:49Kylie Birch?
00:06:50Thanks for coming, Miss Birch.
00:06:52This is Whit Sheffield.
00:06:56Uh, do you know what this is all about?
00:06:58Yeah, um, um...
00:07:00He's supposed to help me find a job.
00:07:03I know this may seem like an unusual program
00:07:05coming from a law school.
00:07:06I-I know a little bit about the law.
00:07:08Oh?
00:07:09The people's good is the highest law.
00:07:11Uh, Deligibus said that.
00:07:13I'm impressed, Miss Birch.
00:07:15I doubt that most of my students
00:07:17would be able to quote him.
00:07:20Mr. Sheffield,
00:07:21why don't you and Miss Birch
00:07:22go down to the library
00:07:23and make the necessary arrangements
00:07:24to work together?
00:07:25Mm.
00:07:25After you.
00:07:41Why don't we, um, sit down?
00:07:50So?
00:07:50So, the, uh, file
00:07:58I was given on you
00:08:00just shows me the basic facts
00:08:01of your situation.
00:08:03Why don't you tell me
00:08:04about yourself, Miss Birch?
00:08:05Why don't you tell me
00:08:06about yourself, Mr. Sheffield?
00:08:08Because it's not really
00:08:09relevant to our little project.
00:08:13So, you get to know
00:08:14everything about me,
00:08:15but I get to know
00:08:16almost nothing about you.
00:08:18Okay, I'll guess.
00:08:20That'll be fun, right?
00:08:21Rich.
00:08:23Privileged.
00:08:23Never had to worry
00:08:24about anyone but himself.
00:08:25Never had to worry
00:08:26about putting food on the table.
00:08:28Never had to pay a bill.
00:08:30Anything else?
00:08:31A person like you
00:08:32could never understand
00:08:33a person like me.
00:08:35I understand why
00:08:36you have trouble getting a job.
00:08:38Really?
00:08:38What does that mean?
00:08:39Well, you have
00:08:40an attitude problem.
00:08:43This isn't gonna work.
00:08:47Wait.
00:08:48I'm sorry
00:08:50if I sounded judgmental.
00:08:52It's nothing personal.
00:08:53Believe me,
00:08:54I'm completely
00:08:55disinterested here.
00:08:56Uninterested.
00:08:57Excuse me.
00:08:58Disinterested is impartial.
00:09:01Uninterested
00:09:01is when you just
00:09:03don't care.
00:09:06That's what you meant, right?
00:09:09That's what I thought.
00:09:10Yeah.
00:09:10Yeah.
00:09:11Yeah.
00:09:11Yeah.
00:09:11Yeah.
00:09:11Yeah.
00:09:11Yeah.
00:09:12Yeah.
00:09:12Yeah.
00:09:12Yeah.
00:09:12Yeah.
00:09:13Yeah.
00:09:13Yeah.
00:09:13Yeah.
00:09:14Yeah.
00:09:14Yeah.
00:09:14Yeah.
00:09:14Yeah.
00:09:14Yeah.
00:09:15Yeah.
00:09:15Yeah.
00:09:15Yeah.
00:09:16Yeah.
00:09:16Yeah.
00:09:16Yeah.
00:09:17Yeah.
00:09:18Yeah.
00:09:24Hello.
00:09:24It's Birch.
00:09:25It's, uh,
00:09:26with Sheffield.
00:09:27Don't hang up, please.
00:09:29Just hear me out.
00:09:31Okay.
00:09:32Whether either of us
00:09:33likes it or not,
00:09:34you need a job
00:09:35and I need to pass this class.
00:09:37Now,
00:09:37I have two job interviews
00:09:38lined up for you tomorrow.
00:09:39Will you go?
00:09:40Where are the interviews?
00:09:41Not far from here.
00:09:43May I take you
00:09:43to the interviews?
00:09:44Okay.
00:09:44Good.
00:09:45I'll pick you up around three.
00:09:47Okay.
00:09:48See you then.
00:09:53Your resume is thin,
00:09:54Miss Birch.
00:09:55Well, that,
00:09:56actually,
00:09:57my son,
00:09:57he gets sick a lot
00:09:58and so I...
00:09:58Oh.
00:09:59Good day.
00:10:00Thank you for your time.
00:10:07Frankly,
00:10:07with your lack
00:10:08of sustained employment,
00:10:09I don't think
00:10:10there's any reason
00:10:10to continue this interview.
00:10:12Listen,
00:10:12if you could just
00:10:12give me a chance,
00:10:13I'd...
00:10:13Thanks for your time,
00:10:14Miss Birch.
00:10:14I'm real busy.
00:10:15What happened?
00:10:29It's the same thing
00:10:30every time.
00:10:30They ask to see my resume,
00:10:32which is a joke,
00:10:33and then they ask me
00:10:33why I left my last job,
00:10:35and I have to tell them
00:10:35I was fired
00:10:36for missing so much work.
00:10:37How'd you handle that?
00:10:38Not very well.
00:10:41Well,
00:10:41we'll have to work
00:10:42on that then.
00:10:43You're very understanding.
00:10:45I'm never going
00:10:54to be able
00:10:54to find her a job.
00:10:56Her attitude stinks.
00:10:57She doesn't know
00:10:57how to present herself.
00:11:00My dad's hiring.
00:11:02You can have him
00:11:03give her a job
00:11:03at his place.
00:11:04You do that?
00:11:05Yeah, sure.
00:11:06You can always fire her
00:11:07after we graduate.
00:11:14This could be
00:11:14the one for you.
00:11:15Oh, you say that
00:11:16every time.
00:11:17Try not to mess it up.
00:11:18It's got health benefits
00:11:19the whole nine yards.
00:11:20Try not to mess it up.
00:11:22Yeah, try being nice.
00:11:24No attitude.
00:11:24Attitude.
00:11:25That would be
00:11:26what I'm talking about.
00:11:28Humble, sweet, smile,
00:11:31and good luck.
00:11:33Get out of here!
00:11:34Yeah.
00:11:35Oh, it's over here.
00:11:38More!
00:11:39Face back!
00:11:43Get out of here.
00:11:44Wow.
00:11:54I got the job.
00:11:56That's great!
00:11:57I start on Monday.
00:11:58I start on Monday.
00:11:58So, uh, good luck with the job.
00:12:19Thanks.
00:12:19Um, look, I-I know
00:12:24that I was a little...
00:12:26Difficult?
00:12:28Stubborn?
00:12:28Defensive?
00:12:30Yeah.
00:12:30All of the above.
00:12:32But I-I really do
00:12:33appreciate this.
00:12:34So thank you,
00:12:35Mr. Sheffield.
00:12:36You're welcome,
00:12:37Miss Birch.
00:12:39This is actually
00:12:40a really big opportunity
00:12:41for me, so...
00:12:42I'm gonna try really hard
00:12:44not to blow it this time.
00:12:53Bye.
00:12:56Bye.

00:13:52apples, and pork chops
00:13:52for dinner.

00:14:06until I get my first paycheck?
00:14:08No problem.
00:14:12No, it's too much.
00:14:13Hey, it feels good
00:14:14not to be the one
00:14:15doing the asking for once.
00:14:16Anyways, we don't help
00:14:17each other out.
00:14:18Who's gonna, right,
00:14:19sister of mine?
00:14:23Can you stay for dinner?
00:14:25I would love to.
00:14:26Great.
00:14:28Unfortunately, I can't.
00:14:29See, I promised
00:14:29this handsome plumber
00:14:30who fixed my leaky faucet
00:14:32that I would have
00:14:32dinner with him tonight.
00:14:33You have more dates
00:14:34than I have jobs.
00:14:35How's that possible?
00:14:36One of these days,
00:14:37we're both gonna hit a home run.
00:14:39Did your landlord ever
00:14:39fix a water leak in the wall?
00:14:41No, um,
00:14:42they keep telling me
00:14:42it's not a big deal
00:14:43and that they're gonna get to it.
00:14:44Just stay on them.
00:14:46And call me if you need anything.
00:14:48Bye, Shane.
00:14:49Bye, Aunt Shane.
00:14:54Okay, kid.
00:14:55Prayers.
00:14:56God in heaven,
00:15:01hear my prayer.
00:15:02Keep me in thy loving care.
00:15:04Be my guide in all I do.
00:15:06Bless all those who love me too.
00:15:08Amen.
00:15:09Amen.
00:15:10Mom,
00:15:11I know God's gonna bless you,
00:15:13but will he bless my dad
00:15:14even though he's not here?
00:15:16I think that God blesses everyone
00:15:19no matter where they are.
00:15:20Does my dad love me?
00:15:23Oh, buddy,
00:15:24how could he not love you?
00:15:26And how come he doesn't wanna see me?
00:15:30I know it's hard
00:15:31not having your dad here,
00:15:34but you have another father
00:15:36and he's in heaven
00:15:37and he's always here for you.
00:15:41Okay?
00:15:44Sleep.
00:15:46I love you.
00:15:47I love you too.
00:15:50Thank you, Brian.
00:16:10Can you get that chipped out right away?
00:16:13A moment, please, Miss Birch.
00:16:14Yes, Mr. Birch.
00:16:16I just learned that you've requested
00:16:17to leave early on Thursday.
00:16:18My son has a doctor's appointment.
00:16:20You don't get to come and go
00:16:21as you please, young lady.
00:16:23Oh, no, I have personal leave.
00:16:24Once you've been here two weeks,
00:16:26then you pass probation.
00:16:27Okay, Wednesday is two weeks,
00:16:29so I made the appointment for Thursday.
00:16:31Do you just automatically assume
00:16:33that you will pass probation?
00:16:34No, no.
00:16:35Look, Mr. Pearson...
00:16:36No, you look, Miss Birch.
00:16:37Just because the owner's son
00:16:38put in a good word for you
00:16:39does not mean you get special privileges.
00:16:41I'm sorry, what are you talking about?
00:16:43The owner's son basically got you this job
00:16:45as a favor to a classmate at the university.
00:16:50Don't you worry about it, Mr. Pearson.
00:16:52You don't have to put up with me
00:16:53for one minute longer.
00:16:55Your assignment is not complete.
00:16:58My assignment was to find her a job.
00:17:00I did that.
00:17:01That's all you think there is to this assignment?
00:17:02She just up and quit.
00:17:04Why?
00:17:04I don't know.
00:17:05Then you should find out.
00:17:06This is just part of her
00:17:07self-destructive pattern.
00:17:08Then call her on it.
00:17:31Why'd you quit your job?
00:17:32You mean the job your friend,
00:17:34the owner's son, got for me?
00:17:35Alex didn't get you the job.
00:17:37He got you the interview
00:17:38and this may come as a shock
00:17:39but you did the rest yourself.
00:17:40I realize I'm just a grade for you
00:17:42but I didn't think you'd have to lie to me to get it.
00:17:44Mom!
00:17:45Mom!
00:17:47Hey, did you use your inhaler?
00:17:49It's empty.
00:17:52Okay, that was the last one.
00:17:53What's wrong?
00:17:54He has serious asthma.
00:17:55He can't breathe.
00:17:57Will you drive us to the hospital?
00:17:58Yeah, sure.
00:17:59Come on!
00:18:00I understand, sir.
00:18:07How much longer is it going to be?
00:18:08Um, you can't really tell.
00:18:10It shouldn't be that much longer.
00:18:11I feel like you're going to be there.
00:18:12I gave you a good job.
00:18:16It hasn't been easy for Carly.
00:18:25Absentee father, unfit mother,
00:18:27in and out of the foster system.
00:18:28And being an unwed teen mother didn't help.
00:18:30Well, it's not uncommon
00:18:31for someone who grows up in foster care.
00:18:34A girl like Kylie has no one really.
00:18:36Then some smooth-talking guy comes along
00:18:37and for the first time in her life,
00:18:39she thinks someone loves her.
00:18:41Then the minute she tells him she's pregnant,
00:18:43he abandons her,
00:18:44just like everyone else in her life.
00:18:49What can I do?
00:18:50Well, the big issue here
00:18:52is her son's health problems.
00:18:54She needs a decent job
00:18:55that offers insurance and sick leave.
00:18:57So basically, she needs help with everything.
00:19:00More than anything,
00:19:01she needs a little confidence
00:19:02to know that she can accomplish something in her life.
00:19:05And she needs someone to believe in her.
00:19:07Can you understand that, Mr. Sheffield?
00:19:09Yeah.
00:19:10I believe I can.
00:19:13Thank you, Ms. Allen.
00:19:15Hey, Whit.
00:19:24Come on in.
00:19:24Hey.
00:19:25I thought we could do some online job hunting.
00:19:29Shane, say hello to Mr. Sheffield.
00:19:31Hi, Mr. Sheffield.
00:19:32Call me Whit.
00:19:34Cool ball.
00:19:35Took him a whole year
00:19:36to save up all those rubber bands.
00:19:37PJs, I'll come check you in a minute, okay?
00:19:39Okay.
00:19:40Night, Whit.
00:19:41Night, Shane.
00:19:42There's fresh coffee in the kitchen
00:19:44and you can set up right there if you want.
00:19:46Thanks.
00:19:52Okay.
00:19:53Prayers.
00:19:56God in heaven, hear my prayer.
00:19:59Keep me in thy loving care.
00:20:02Be my guide in all I do.
00:20:05Bless all those who love me too.
00:20:07Amen.
00:20:08Amen.
00:20:09Good job.
00:20:10I love you.
00:20:11I love you.
00:20:12I love you bigger than a volcano.
00:20:16I love you bigger than the moon.
00:20:19Good one.
00:20:22Sweet dreams.
00:20:34Yeah, this is an old building,
00:20:36but it looks and smells new.
00:20:38I didn't expect that.
00:20:39Oh, yeah?
00:20:41What were you expecting?
00:20:42A ghetto apartment?
00:20:43No.
00:20:44That's not what I meant.
00:20:47Well, fresh coat of paint
00:20:49and cheap new carpet
00:20:50cover up the musty smell.
00:20:51Musty smell?
00:20:52Yeah, it's an old building.
00:20:53It's got leaky pipes.
00:20:54It just makes it look good on the surface.
00:20:56That way,
00:20:57the landlord can collect state funding
00:20:58to make up for the rent
00:20:59that we low-incomers can't pay for.
00:21:01So when the state comes in with our walkthrough,
00:21:04everything looks great.
00:21:05Exactly.
00:21:09Truth is,
00:21:10this building's falling apart from the inside out.
00:21:13Oh, Shane.
00:21:15Better.
00:21:16He hasn't had to use his inhaler in a couple days,
00:21:17so that's good.
00:21:18Good.
00:21:21Hey, that's an Edward Steichen photo.
00:21:24His stuff is always dark and moody.
00:21:26Yeah, I can identify with him.
00:21:29He was the featured artist
00:21:30in Alfred Stieglitz's photography magazine.
00:21:32Yeah, the magazine was called Camera Work,
00:21:34and Stieglitz was married to, um...
00:21:36Georgia O'Keeffe, the painter.
00:21:38I really liked that one,
00:21:39so I just stuck it up on the wall.
00:21:40Okay.
00:21:41How do you know so much
00:21:43about so many different things?
00:21:44Oh, I spent a lot of time in the library growing up.
00:21:49And what's your favorite book?
00:21:50Huck Finn.
00:21:51Mine, too.
00:21:52I love the river journey.
00:21:55Being on a raft,
00:21:57floating along in your own world,
00:21:59doing exactly what you want.
00:22:01I really like the part
00:22:02when Huck apologizes to Jim
00:22:04for hurting his feelings.
00:22:05It's not something a white boy
00:22:07would have done for a black man back then.
00:22:08Why would you like that part?
00:22:10Well, Huck is acknowledging
00:22:11that Jim is just as good as him,
00:22:13even though most people
00:22:14didn't think that way.
00:22:16I understand.
00:22:18Let's look for jobs online, shall we?
00:22:24You know, first off,
00:22:25is there a specific career
00:22:27that you always wanted to get?
00:22:29What do you mean?
00:22:30Well, is there a career
00:22:31you always dreamed about?
00:22:32Something you always wanted to do?
00:22:34No.
00:22:35Dreams aren't real.
00:22:36They're just dreams.
00:22:38Well, it must be something.
00:22:38Listen, do you think
00:22:43we can do this another time?
00:22:45Yeah, sure.
00:22:46I'm free on Saturday.
00:22:47We could work on your resume, too.
00:22:48That will be a challenge.
00:22:50So we'll get creative.
00:22:52There's a park right nearby.
00:22:53It's got a Ferris wheel.
00:22:54Shane really loves it there.
00:22:56Yeah, I know the place.
00:22:57I'll see you Saturday,
00:22:58and thank you for the coffee.
00:23:01You're welcome.
00:23:01Okay, resume done.
00:23:29Short and sweet.
00:23:30Okay, save the file
00:23:31and go online
00:23:32and email it to me.
00:23:36There you go on Craigslist,
00:23:38and let's do some job hunting.
00:23:40Okay, what's your email address?
00:23:42Inferno at lawman.com.
00:23:45It's, um...
00:23:46I know what Inferno means.
00:23:47It's a pirate ship with goonies.
00:23:49Yes, it is, honey,
00:23:50but I don't think
00:23:50that's what he's referring to.
00:23:52Actually, it is what
00:23:54I'm referring to.
00:23:56What?
00:23:57It's still one of my favorite movies.
00:23:58Mine, too.
00:23:59You know Mikey has asthma?
00:24:01I know.
00:24:02But he still goes on an adventure
00:24:03and finds the treasure.
00:24:05Pretty cool, huh?
00:24:06Pretty cool.
00:24:06What are you talking about?
00:24:09Look at the clowns!
00:24:09Watch out!
00:24:11Oh, my gosh!
00:24:12How come people like clowns?
00:24:13I think they're scary.
00:24:15Whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:24:16Me, too.
00:24:18I had a clown at a birthday party once
00:24:21and I had nightmares
00:24:21for weeks afterwards.
00:24:23Sometimes I have nightmares
00:24:24that a monster's chasing me.
00:24:26What's he look like?
00:24:27I don't look at him.
00:24:28I just know that he's scary.
00:24:29And I'll teach you
00:24:30a secret way to deal with monsters.
00:24:32You face him, he goes away.
00:24:33I don't know.
00:24:35Trust me.
00:24:36Try it the next time
00:24:37you have a nightmare.
00:24:38I promise it'll work.
00:24:39Okay, I'll try it.
00:24:41Why don't you try
00:24:41cleaning up those plates first?
00:24:42Okay, Mom.
00:24:43Holding a rubber chicken.
00:24:45Wait, I am holding
00:24:46a rubber chicken.
00:24:50He's a special little guy.
00:24:52Yeah, he is.
00:24:57I know how to use a computer.
00:25:00Oh, yeah?
00:25:00Do you know how to do
00:25:01your homework?
00:25:02It's Saturday.
00:25:04Oh, good.
00:25:04Then you can get a head start.
00:25:06Okay.
00:25:10Okay, how about this?
00:25:11Receptionist at an insurance
00:25:12company must-know-word check.
00:25:15Starting pay $10 an hour
00:25:17and benefits after a probation period.
00:25:19What do you think?
00:25:20Yeah.
00:25:21Um, the thing is,
00:25:24receptionists usually
00:25:26look a certain way.
00:25:28You mean classy.
00:25:30It's not you, Kylie.
00:25:33It's your clothes.
00:25:36And maybe your hair.
00:25:37Like it or not,
00:25:38people judge other people
00:25:39by the way they look.
00:25:40They make certain assumptions.
00:25:41Like you assumed I was stupid
00:25:43when you met me?
00:25:44Sometimes first impressions
00:25:46are wrong.
00:25:46Hmm.
00:25:57Hey, Mom.
00:25:58Whit, what a pleasant surprise.
00:26:01Uh, I'm looking for some
00:26:03of my old books
00:26:03from when I was a kid.
00:26:05There's a little boy
00:26:06I want to give them to.
00:26:07Oh, well, I packed them away
00:26:08in the garage,
00:26:09but I can find them for you.
00:26:10Thanks, Mom.
00:26:11So how's your class
00:26:13assignment going?
00:26:14I'm having a little trouble,
00:26:15actually.
00:26:17I'm trying to help
00:26:17a young single mother
00:26:18who's unemployed
00:26:19find a job,
00:26:20but she's living
00:26:21on a shoestring budget
00:26:22and doesn't have
00:26:23the proper clothes
00:26:24for job hunting.
00:26:25Why don't you take her
00:26:26to that place
00:26:27where I donate
00:26:27all my old clothes?
00:26:29They have this new program
00:26:30twice a week,
00:26:32makeup and hairstyling
00:26:33for the less fortunate.
00:26:36That's a great idea, Mom.
00:26:38Why don't you sit down
00:26:39and tell me all
00:26:39about this young woman?
00:26:41Actually, I gotta run.
00:26:43I'm on a mission.
00:26:45Okay.
00:26:46I'll find those books for you.
00:26:48Great.
00:26:49Thanks, Mom.
00:26:51Bye.
00:26:51Bye.
00:27:12Okay.
00:27:16More than okay.
00:27:19I need shoes.
00:27:20Nice try.
00:27:32How about these?
00:27:41Here, let me help you.
00:27:42Okay.
00:27:43Okay.
00:27:43Okay.
00:27:43Miss Birch?
00:27:56Um, it's time to, uh,
00:27:58get your hair and makeup done.
00:28:00Kylie?
00:28:01Hi.
00:28:04How are you?
00:28:05I'm gonna have a seat.
00:28:07Have a seat.
00:28:10You're thinking cut in color,
00:28:11just cut.
00:28:12Well?
00:28:31You look, um, or, it's, uh, nice.
00:28:37It looks nice.
00:28:42Hi.
00:28:55Hey.
00:28:59Where are we going?
00:29:02You look...
00:29:05What?
00:29:07You look very professional.
00:29:12Me too.
00:29:13Well, I was reading this article about jobs in the healthcare fields,
00:29:17specially certified nursing assistants.
00:29:19Certified means you have a certification.
00:29:21I don't have that, so...
00:29:22Hold on.
00:29:24Some convalescent homes provide on-the-job training.
00:29:27Work, you get paid, your certificate in only a few weeks.
00:29:30Really?
00:29:31I found one near here, right on this bus route.
00:29:33I'll be frank, Miss Birch.
00:29:45Your work record is not impressive.
00:29:47I realize that.
00:29:49But if you'll let me explain, I think I can persuade you that I'm worth taking a chance on.
00:29:53Very well.
00:29:54What do you have to say for yourself?
00:29:55It's okay.
00:30:13There's many other places we can try.
00:30:15No, it's okay.
00:30:16I got it.
00:30:21All right.
00:30:27I need to pick up Shane.
00:30:31Um, if I don't hurry, I'll be late, so...
00:30:34How about I give you a ride?
00:30:36Oh, you gotta have stuff to do.
00:30:39I could free up some time.
00:30:40Maybe take you and Shane out for a burger.
00:30:42A little celebration.
00:30:44Shane would love that.
00:30:52Can I have a last one try?
00:30:53Sure, buddy.
00:30:54Go ahead.
00:30:58Thanks.
00:30:59Hey, Mom.
00:31:00Could I have a gumball?
00:31:02Sure.
00:31:02Here, I got a pocket full of quarters.
00:31:04No, no, no.
00:31:04That's okay.
00:31:05One.
00:31:08Thanks, Mom.
00:31:09Scram.
00:31:13Scum balls are kind of small.
00:31:15Yeah.
00:31:17I know you mean well-wit, but you're just passing through our lives, and I don't really want
00:31:20him to get used to things I can't provide on my own.
00:31:23I understand.
00:31:26It must be so hard raising him all alone.
00:31:31You mind if I ask where his father's at?
00:31:32He's somewhere where the Child Support Collection Division can't find him.
00:31:35Um, I told him I was pregnant, and that's the last time I saw him.
00:31:42I got a red one.
00:31:44I got a red one.
00:31:46Put it in your pocket for later, okay?
00:31:49Hey, guess what?
00:31:50What?
00:31:51We gotta go.
00:31:52Oh, Mom.
00:31:53You wanna know why?
00:31:54Why?
00:31:56Homework.
00:31:57Homework.
00:31:58Come on.
00:32:01Shane, you should thank Whit for dinner.
00:32:04Thanks.
00:32:04You're welcome, Shane.
00:32:06I need you to start your homework, and then I'm gonna come help you in a minute, okay?
00:32:09Okay.
00:32:10Mm-hmm.
00:32:17Here.
00:32:18I made it myself.
00:32:20Bounce is funny, but it's still good.
00:32:23Night.
00:32:24Um, thank you, Shane.
00:32:27Wow.
00:32:29You're really great.
00:32:32He's a good kid.
00:32:34Well, he's been through a lot.
00:32:35He's got a big heart.
00:32:36I think you had something to do with that.
00:32:44Has he always had health problems?
00:32:46The first time I took him to the emergency room, he was just a few weeks old.
00:32:50The doctor told me later that we almost lost him.
00:32:52Must have been terrifying.
00:32:53I've been scared ever since.
00:32:55I wake up like two or three times a night just to check if he's breathing.
00:32:58On the really bad nights, I just pray to God to let him live.
00:33:02You really believe in God?
00:33:03Yeah.
00:33:04When I look in my son's eyes, I do.
00:33:07I'm not sure if I do.
00:33:08Really?
00:33:09There's so much to be thankful for.
00:33:11You have every reason to have faith.
00:33:14And you have absolutely no reason to.
00:33:17So obviously it has nothing to do with logic.
00:33:19What would God have to give you to make you have faith?
00:33:23Someone who loves me the way you love Shane?
00:33:26Well, I'm sure your parents love you.
00:33:30They're proud of you.
00:33:32My mom, well, my mom has a drinking problem.
00:33:37And my father despises her for being weak.
00:33:40So I've spent my whole life trying to prove to him that I'm not like her.
00:33:44You don't feel like enough either, do you?
00:33:46I feel like a kid who's always making mistakes.
00:33:50Well, I feel like I am a mistake, so there you go.
00:33:56You're not a mistake, Kylie.
00:34:00Hey, do you think you could get a babysitter for Saturday?
00:34:05Maybe?
00:34:06Why?
00:34:06Hey, mom, are you coming?
00:34:08Surprise.
00:34:13Now, just make sure you wear jeans.
00:34:14You ever ridden before?
00:34:35When I was really small, that family that Jen and I lived with, they took us to Griffith Park and we rode the ponies.
00:34:42I don't know if that counts.
00:34:43Yeah, just think of this as a really big, um, pony.
00:34:47Okay.
00:34:49You need a leg up?
00:34:51I think not.
00:35:03You really love this, don't you?
00:35:06I don't know how to describe what this means to me.
00:35:08You know, when I was seven, I had a horse.
00:35:12It was amazing.
00:35:13His name was Joker.
00:35:14I was three years old, barely broke.
00:35:17We kind of grew up together.
00:35:21You know, there's this bond that can develop between a horse and a rider.
00:35:23Um, it doesn't always happen, but when it does, it's special.
00:35:29What kind of bond?
00:35:32It's about trust.
00:35:35I never trusted anyone in my life the way I trusted Joker.
00:35:39And he trusted me to take care of him.
00:35:41What happened to him?
00:35:42Um, I finally had to do the last thing he needed from me.
00:35:49Put him down before he suffered too much.
00:35:52I'm sorry.
00:35:54It was the hardest thing I ever had to do.
00:35:57But you loved him enough to do it.
00:35:59It takes a special kind of courage, I think.
00:36:01I never talked about that with anyone.
00:36:03I'm glad you told me.
00:36:09I had a really nice time.
00:36:11It was truly my pleasure.
00:36:13I hope you do okay in that class.
00:36:16You did your part.
00:36:18The rest is up to me.
00:36:26Say, why don't we go to dinner tonight?
00:36:30Just the two of us.
00:36:32I don't know.
00:36:32We need to celebrate.
00:36:34We celebrated.
00:36:35Come on, Kylie.
00:36:36It's just dinner.
00:36:38Please say yes.
00:36:41Yes.
00:36:41Yes.
00:36:41Hi.
00:36:51Hello.
00:36:54I'm Witt.
00:37:08The wannabe lawyer.
00:37:11I'm the sister.
00:37:12Come on in.
00:37:14Witt!
00:37:16Hey, buddy.
00:37:17Can we go to the park again sometime?
00:37:21You bet.
00:37:22Kylie, he's here.
00:37:23Should we ride out?
00:37:25Okay.
00:37:26Come on.
00:37:33Hi.
00:37:36Hi.
00:37:38Am I dressed all right for where we're going?
00:37:40I mean, yeah, you look, um, you look beautiful.
00:37:55It's beautiful here.
00:37:57It's nice to be out of the city.
00:37:58And the food is out of this world.
00:38:02Do you come here all the time?
00:38:04It's a private club.
00:38:06My grandfather was a member, then my father, and now me.
00:38:09Am I going to fit in okay?
00:38:10No.
00:38:11You stand out.
00:38:17So do you have brothers and sisters?
00:38:19Nope.
00:38:20Lonely child.
00:38:21Must have been lonely growing up.
00:38:23Well, it just means that everything's riding on me, as my father loves to remind me.
00:38:31Well, he was there for you, though, right?
00:38:32I mean, he didn't run out on you or anything.
00:38:36I never met my father.
00:38:41Did your dad ever just hold you and make you feel safe?
00:38:45It's not exactly how we do things where I'm from.
00:38:48I always wondered what that would be like.
00:38:51Me, too.
00:39:03Hey.
00:39:04Whit.
00:39:06Hey.
00:39:07Alex?
00:39:09What are you doing here?
00:39:09I thought you were going to a movie tonight.
00:39:12Nope.
00:39:13Change of plans.
00:39:14Oh, I'm Alex Bianco.
00:39:16I go to law school with Whit.
00:39:19We're roommates.
00:39:20Kylie Birch.
00:39:22I believe you recommended me for a job.
00:39:24Don't.
00:39:25Yeah, don't, uh, don't go there.
00:39:27Well, I'm sure you're meeting someone, so, you know, we don't want to keep you.
00:39:31No.
00:39:33I'm all alone.
00:39:33Great.
00:39:34Okay, well, why don't you see if you can snag us a table for three and, you know, you can join us.
00:39:40Okay.
00:39:41Great.
00:39:42Hey, I'll be right back.
00:39:43Cool.
00:39:44All right.
00:39:44Great.
00:39:46Do you want to go somewhere a little stuffy?
00:39:48Yes.
00:39:49Here we go.
00:39:49That was delicious.
00:39:58How did you find these guys?
00:40:00Uh, well, they move around, but they text regulars to let us know where they're going to be.
00:40:05Alex and I would go on taco runs when our brains were ready to explode from studying.
00:40:09Amazing.
00:40:10Never figured you for a taco truck kind of guy.
00:40:13Really?
00:40:14Well, apparently, you didn't know me as well as you thought you did.
00:40:17Okay.
00:40:18Tell me something else I don't know.
00:40:21I can't do anything I want with my life.
00:40:23But you're about to graduate law school.
00:40:25You're going to be an amazing lawyer.
00:40:27You could be a judge.
00:40:28You could make it all the way to Supreme Court if you wanted.
00:40:30Yeah, Sheffields don't become judges.
00:40:32Doesn't pay enough.
00:40:35And the thing is, that's all my father's plan.
00:40:39I grew up knowing what was expected of me.
00:40:41And then I better live up to it.
00:40:45You're a pretty smart guy.
00:40:46I bet you can get past that.
00:40:48You would have to actually know what you want first.
00:40:50I guess I can understand that.
00:40:53I've spent my whole life making sure that the people I love are okay.
00:40:56You know, first Jen and now Shane.
00:40:57I've never actually thought about what I wanted.
00:41:00Jen is, what, a couple years younger than you?
00:41:03Surely you didn't have to take care of her.
00:41:05I did.
00:41:07She was eight, I was ten, and we moved into a new foster home.
00:41:10They were amazing.
00:41:12It was a much nicer place than we'd ever been, but they could only keep one of us permanently.
00:41:17They had a really hard time deciding, so I helped them.
00:41:23How did you do that?
00:41:25I went to a store and I stole the trinket.
00:41:27It wasn't really a big deal, but it was enough to get me in trouble.
00:41:30They chose Jen.
00:41:31Why did you do that?
00:41:32Because she was just a kid, you know?
00:41:34I didn't think that she could handle moving again, especially if she ended up someplace bad.
00:41:39Oh, you were just a kid too, Kylie.
00:41:41I don't remember being a kid.
00:41:43Me either.
00:41:46You asked me once if I had a dream, and I do.
00:41:52Sometimes Shane and I will go to the emergency room, and there'll be a nurse there who's especially kind, and she makes me feel good.
00:41:59I wish I could do that.
00:42:03Sounds like a very worthy dream.
00:42:09Well, thank you.
00:42:12For everything.
00:42:14That sounds like a goodbye.
00:42:18We'll see each other again.
00:42:20Sure.
00:42:21At the country club, or when we summer in the Hamptons.
00:42:24That's not what I meant.
00:42:26I know what you meant, but what would the point be?
00:42:29I don't know.
00:42:31I thought we had a pretty good time tonight.
00:42:34We did.
00:42:35Let's just leave it at that.
00:42:38Kylie, I don't want to.
00:42:39We're just...
00:42:40We're too different.
00:42:42See, I thought we were, but now I know better.
00:42:48What do we have in common?
00:42:53Come on, Kylie.
00:42:53Take a chance.
00:42:56Good night.
00:43:23It's not that bad.
00:43:25Jen?
00:43:32No, it's wet.
00:43:33I can't talk to you right now.
00:43:34Shane's having another asthma attack, and I need to get him to the hospital.
00:43:37I was just about to call 911.
00:43:38I'll be right there.
00:43:39Okay.
00:43:42Excuse me.
00:43:44Housekeeping to ER room one.
00:43:46Excuse me.
00:43:47My son's having an asthma attack.
00:43:49Did you just wait your turn?
00:43:50He cannot wait.
00:43:52Insurance?
00:43:52Medicaid.
00:43:52Put your name on the list.
00:43:54No, he can't wait.
00:43:55Neither can any of these other people.
00:43:57Hold on.
00:43:57Listen to him.
00:43:58He can't breathe.
00:43:59He has to wait his turn.
00:44:01You think you can intimidate me the way you do with these other people?
00:44:03Excuse me?
00:44:04I'm a lawyer.
00:44:05Get a doctor now, or I will hit this hospital with a lawsuit that specifically names you,
00:44:09Nurse Carter.
00:44:11Hold on a minute.
00:44:13How'd he get the bruise?
00:44:15We were playing at home, and he ran into a table.
00:44:17And has he ever had an attack like this before?
00:44:20Yes.
00:44:21Have you read the file?
00:44:21Well, I don't hear any wheezing.
00:44:31He seems all right now.
00:44:32No, I've researched this.
00:44:34If he's not wheezing, that's a bad thing.
00:44:35That means his chest is really tight.
00:44:37Why don't you leave the diagnosis to the professionals?
00:44:39I think I know my son.
00:44:41There should be enough albuterol to take care of him for a while.
00:44:43No, they keep giving this to him, and he just gets sick again.
00:44:46You check him out for 30 seconds, and that's it?
00:44:47I have dozens of other Medicaid patients waiting to be seen.
00:44:50His name is Shane.
00:44:52He's not a Medicaid patient.
00:44:53He's a kid.
00:44:54A very scared, very sick one.
00:44:56You're a doctor.
00:44:57You're supposed to care about him.
00:44:58But if all you care about is whether or not he has good insurance, then here.
00:45:03Figure out what your fee would be if he wasn't poor.
00:45:06Put it on my card and do your job.
00:45:07He'll be fine.
00:45:09He just needs a stronger inhaler.
00:45:11Listen to me.
00:45:12He has an inhaler.
00:45:13He keeps ending up here.
00:45:14I can't keep putting my son through this.
00:45:16I read that these attacks might be triggered by allergies.
00:45:18He hasn't been tested for allergies?
00:45:20No.
00:45:21He has an inhaler.
00:45:22That's it.
00:45:23And no blood tests have ever been done?
00:45:25Never.
00:45:26I'm ordering blood work and a full allergy workup.
00:45:29You can have the results tomorrow.
00:45:31Call me.
00:45:31Centerline Pharmacy Call extension 3545.
00:45:35Centerline Pharmacy Call extension 3545.
00:45:37Bye.
00:46:07I don't know how to thank you.
00:46:21You don't have to thank me.
00:46:24Now I understand why you needed a decent job.
00:46:28Good night.
00:46:37All finished?
00:46:53You know what I really miss here, Kylie?
00:46:57Cheese balinces.
00:46:59I used to make the best cheese balinces.
00:47:03Well, I can get you some.
00:47:04You would do that for me?
00:47:06Of course.
00:47:06You don't have any dietary restrictions?
00:47:09That would please me very much.
00:47:11And God, too.
00:47:13God?
00:47:14Oh, yeah.
00:47:15I've been praying to him to bring an angel into my life.
00:47:19That's you, Kylie.
00:47:21Oh, Mrs. Madison, I'm no angel.
00:47:22Oh, yes, you are.
00:47:24Angels don't have to have wings.
00:47:27Sometimes it's someone who just comes into your life
00:47:31at a time when you most need them and makes it better.
00:47:34I'm sure you've had an angel in your life.
00:47:40I don't know.
00:47:41Maybe.
00:47:42The next time an angel comes into your life,
00:47:46ask God to take away all the uneasiness you might have.
00:47:50And then accept the angel for what it is.
00:47:54Beautiful gift to be cherished, not feared.
00:47:58Okay.
00:48:00I'll keep an eye out.
00:48:01Okay.
00:48:02Okay.
00:48:12You've done very well with the assignment, Mr. Sheffield.
00:48:15Better than you expected, Professor?
00:48:17As a matter of fact, yes.
00:48:20I'd say you're well on your way to becoming more of a human being
00:48:23than either of us thought you could be.
00:48:26That was meant as a compliment.
00:48:34Thanks for the gift, Aunt Jen.
00:48:36My pleasure, Slugger.
00:48:37You know, you didn't have to do that, but thank you.
00:48:43So how's the job going?
00:48:45Really good, actually.
00:48:46I'm past my first month of probation,
00:48:48and I take my test for certification in a week.
00:48:50Nice.
00:48:51And how's my favorite only nephew's health?
00:48:54Keeping my fingers crossed,
00:48:56because we haven't had a problem in a while.
00:48:58You seen that budding lawyer again?
00:48:59No.
00:49:00His assignment is over, and I have a great job,
00:49:02so there's no reason.
00:49:04Why?
00:49:04Why?
00:49:04Why?
00:49:07It's not that you really liked him.
00:49:10Never would have worked out, Jen.
00:49:13A person like that could never love someone like me.
00:49:15How come you're so sure that he could never love you?
00:49:19Because nobody besides you or Shane ever has.
00:49:22And that's enough.
00:49:23That's not enough, Kylie.
00:49:25It's gonna have to be.
00:49:33Hi.
00:49:34Hi.
00:49:34Hi.
00:49:34Hi.
00:49:36What are you doing here?
00:49:37Well, I needed to ask you something,
00:49:39and I thought it'd be harder for you to say no in person.
00:49:41Wait.
00:49:42My parents are having a party for the 30th anniversary on Saturday,
00:49:45and I'd like you to come with me.
00:49:48I don't think that's a good idea.
00:49:49I think it's a great idea.
00:49:51So do I.
00:49:52You're not helping me.
00:49:53Is he the angel, Kylie?
00:49:55Mrs. Madison.
00:49:56Hush.
00:49:57It's gonna be fancy, right?
00:50:00I don't have anything to wear.
00:50:01I can't.
00:50:02Kylie, whatever you wear,
00:50:03I'd be proud to have you by my side.
00:50:06Remember what I said about fear, Kylie?
00:50:09Don't be afraid now.
00:50:14Shane's blood work came back.
00:50:15He's allergic to mold.
00:50:16Really?
00:50:18What do you do with that?
00:50:19I talked to my landlord.
00:50:20I told him that the whole apartment needs to be professionally treated,
00:50:22but as usual, he's done nothing.
00:50:24So I scrubbed everything down with bleach.
00:50:26I hope that's gonna be okay until I can afford to move.
00:50:28You're changing the subject.
00:50:31The party's at the club, and who knows,
00:50:32maybe we'll even go inside this time.
00:50:34So what do you say?
00:50:36Go or no go?
00:50:41I'll go.
00:50:43Great.
00:50:44I'll pick you up at seven.
00:50:47Good move, Kylie.
00:50:49Big trouble, Mrs. Madison.
00:50:51Big trouble.
00:50:52Hmm, what do you wear to this kind of party?
00:51:00Who knows?
00:51:01I've got this bridesmaid's dress I wore to Carla's wedding.
00:51:04Pink ruffled chiffon.
00:51:07Well, what about this one?
00:51:09I have a matching headband.
00:51:11That's perfect,
00:51:12because I wanted to look like a cocktail waitress.
00:51:14I like that one, Mom.
00:51:16Go play your game.
00:51:18All I'm saying is it's a high-class event.
00:51:20You should match.
00:51:21It's about time you met someone.
00:51:24This doesn't even mean anything.
00:51:25He wants you to meet his parents.
00:51:27That means a lot.
00:51:28Well, I can only imagine
00:51:29what these people are gonna think of me.
00:51:31It's just not gonna work out.
00:51:33It worked in those books you used to read to me.
00:51:35Oh, come here.
00:51:37Oh, core naive baby sister Jen.
00:51:40Sorry to have to be the one to break this to you.
00:51:42Those stories weren't real.
00:51:43They're fiction.
00:51:44Whatever.
00:51:44They must come true sometimes,
00:51:46otherwise nobody would believe them.
00:51:51What am I gonna wear?
00:51:55Oh, I've got just the thing.
00:51:57I'll be back.
00:51:58You're kidding me.
00:51:59You have more?
00:52:01Big deal taking her to meet your parents.
00:52:05It's not like that.
00:52:07So what's it like?
00:52:08It's like a party.
00:52:09You know, spending some time together
00:52:11and...
00:52:13meeting my parents.
00:52:14That's what I'm talking about.
00:52:17Oh, I'm, uh...
00:52:19I'm gonna go check on my wardrobe for tonight.
00:52:28I remember this dress.
00:52:35I also remember that it looked much better on you.
00:52:37It's not that bad.
00:52:39Uh, I can fix it.
00:52:41Here.
00:52:43A little nip here.
00:52:45Uh, tuck there.
00:52:48It'll be snazzy.
00:52:49Really?
00:52:50Did you just say snazzy to me?
00:52:53I'm gonna go get your sewing basket.
00:52:56Don't worry, Mom.
00:52:58Aunt Jen will fix it.
00:52:59So, uh, what do you think?
00:53:05Well, I know you're not trying to impress her.
00:53:08Meeting your parents and all.
00:53:10But you really should wear some shoes.
00:53:12Yeah, I'm gonna put shoes on.
00:53:14What about the rest?
00:53:16Oh, white socks.
00:53:18Look goofy with dress shoes.
00:53:19Thank you for your fashion advice.
00:53:21It's so helpful.
00:53:22You've asked.
00:53:26All right.
00:53:27Here I come.
00:53:32Shane?
00:53:33What do you think?
00:53:34Wow.
00:53:35You look great, Mom.
00:53:37It looks better on you than it did on me.
00:53:39You're amazing.
00:53:40You are so creative.
00:53:41Look at this dress.
00:53:42You could be a designer.
00:53:43You could have your own shop.
00:53:45You don't have to be a clerk.
00:53:46Right.
00:53:48Anyway, you're gonna knock his socks off, Kylie.
00:53:51He's never gonna want to let you go.
00:53:52Go ahead and wreck it.
00:54:02You should know it was me.
00:54:04Well, I've been telling you.
00:54:06Sure, I haven't seen her since.
00:54:08Oh, I'm sorry.
00:54:10She said something.
00:54:11She said something.
00:54:14Oh, hey.
00:54:15What's wrong?
00:54:17This might be too much for me.
00:54:19You nervous?
00:54:20You nervous?
00:54:22Oh, aren't you so good?
00:54:25Hey.
00:54:26See you?
00:54:29No.
00:54:30Oh, nice to meet you.
00:54:32Oh, nice to meet you.
00:54:32Oh, nice to meet you.
00:54:47You're shaking.
00:54:50So is yours.
00:54:51Thank you very much.
00:54:53Appreciate it.
00:54:53See you later.
00:54:54Parents.
00:55:02Wits!
00:55:03I'm so glad you could make it.
00:55:05Hi.
00:55:06Mom?
00:55:07Dad?
00:55:08Introduce your lovely companion.
00:55:10Kylie Birch, my father Benjamin, my mother Julia.
00:55:14It's so nice to meet you, dear.
00:55:16Welcome to our party.
00:55:18Are you a classmate of wits, Miss Birch?
00:55:20No.
00:55:21I'm not a student.
00:55:22Congratulations.
00:55:24I understand it's your 30th wedding anniversary.
00:55:27It's a long time.
00:55:28It is indeed.
00:55:29So you've already graduated.
00:55:30What was your major?
00:55:31She didn't go to college.
00:55:34Dad, she works.
00:55:36May I ask what you do?
00:55:38I work in a convalescent home.
00:55:40I'm getting my certified nursing assistant's credentials soon.
00:55:43It must be gratifying work helping people.
00:55:45I'm actually really lucky to have the job.
00:55:47It has medical benefits.
00:55:49I have a son.
00:55:50He has asthma.
00:55:51And he needs a lot of medical care.
00:55:54It must be very difficult being a single mother.
00:55:57I manage.
00:55:59Oh.
00:56:00Pate, Miss Birch.
00:56:04Goose liver.
00:56:06I don't imagine you've ever tried it.
00:56:08No.
00:56:12Excuse me.
00:56:24Excuse me.
00:56:25Are you all right, Kylie?
00:56:32I'm fine.
00:56:33May I join you?
00:56:34Of course.
00:56:38You'll have to excuse Benjamin.
00:56:41His upper-class attitude blocks his common sense sometimes.
00:56:46Do you have a picture of your son?
00:56:49I'd love to see one.
00:56:50I do.
00:56:55Oh, what an adorable little guy.
00:57:01He has your eyes, doesn't he?
00:57:03How old is he?
00:57:04Seven.
00:57:05His name is Shane.
00:57:07They are wonderful at that age.
00:57:09They still idolize you.
00:57:12Later, they realize that you're only human.
00:57:16She's your school project, isn't she?
00:57:18We just give Kylie a chance.
00:57:20Is she divorced?
00:57:22She was never married, was she?
00:57:24Imagine that.
00:57:26A struggling single mother and a nothing job with no prospects.
00:57:30She must see you as her financial salvation.
00:57:33That is not what this is about.
00:57:35What was Whit like at that age, Mrs. Sheffield?
00:57:38Julia, please.
00:57:41Whit wanted to grow up to be just like his father.
00:57:45At a very young age, Whit was aware of things.
00:57:49He sensed how unhappy his dad and I were.
00:57:55Don't assume with money comes happiness.
00:57:59Well, I suppose I should get back to the party.
00:58:03Julia, thank you for coming over.
00:58:08I'll be back in a minute.
00:58:10It's okay.
00:58:11I know it's true.
00:58:13I have no idea.
00:58:14Hi.
00:58:15Don't be naive, Whit.
00:58:16I don't blame her.
00:58:17She sees financial security, social status.
00:58:19Of course she wants that.
00:58:21She's not some gold digger out of an old 1930s movie, Dad.
00:58:22Do you actually see yourself having a future with someone like her?
00:58:26Being a daddy to some other man's unwanted child?
00:58:27When you come into the firm, how would she fit in socially with your colleagues' wives?
00:58:31Think about it.
00:58:32It's worth the reflection.
00:58:33It's worth the reflection.
00:58:34It's worth the reflection.
00:58:35It's worth the reflection.
00:58:36It's worth the reflection.
00:58:37It's worth it.
00:58:38It's worth it.
00:58:39It's worth it.
00:58:40It's worth it.
00:58:42Kylie?
00:58:43Kylie?
00:58:44Kylie?
00:58:45Hey, what's your dad talking about?
00:58:46Oh, sorry.
00:58:47I'm not sure what's your dad talking about.
00:58:48I'm sorry.
00:58:49I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:58:50I'm sorry.
00:58:51I'm sorry.
00:58:52I'm sorry, he's not sure.
00:58:53I'm sorry.
00:58:54It's worth it.
00:58:55I'm sorry, it's worth it.
00:58:56It's worth the reflection.
00:58:59Kylie? Kylie? Hey. Call me a cab. Wait. Kylie, come on. Please, wait. Now.
00:59:21Hi. Hi.
00:59:29You're back early. Yeah. I blew it.
00:59:40And things didn't go well with your father?
00:59:43You could say that. And then I didn't stand up to him for her.
00:59:47So you're just going to walk away from her?
00:59:49What do you care? You thought I should just hook up with her and then dump her.
00:59:53Yeah. Well, that was before I realized how crazy you are about her.
00:59:56Look, man, I've seen the way you are when you work with her.
01:00:00And I've watched you mope around here for the last month without her.
01:00:04She got to you, and that's...that's kind of great.
01:00:07It's coming from the guy who goes through women like Kleenex.
01:00:10Look, man.
01:00:12All that love-em-and-leave-em stuff is just talk.
01:00:15I mean, if I could find someone who made me feel the way you feel about Kylie,
01:00:19I'd never let her go.
01:00:22Shane?
01:00:24I need you to hurry up and finish, babe, okay? I can't be late today.
01:00:27Okay, Mom. Thank you.
01:00:29Whoa!
01:00:31Shane!
01:00:33Shane.
01:00:35Shane?
01:00:39Where are you going?
01:00:41Doctor said we can leave.
01:00:45How do you feel? Are you okay?
01:00:47Great. Let's go.
01:00:49Okay.
01:00:49Miss Birch?
01:00:58Yes?
01:00:59I'm Ellen Garrison.
01:01:01I'm a social worker with CPS.
01:01:02CPS?
01:01:03The hospital called us.
01:01:05Your son has quite a record here.
01:01:08That pattern of chronic illness would concern us under any circumstances.
01:01:12But what happened today, along with the previous bruising,
01:01:16has made it mandatory for us to take temporary custody of Shane.
01:01:20What?
01:01:20What?
01:01:21Shane is going to be placed into foster care.
01:01:23An investigation will be launched.
01:01:24Then there'll be a hearing to determine if it's safe for him to be returned to your custody.
01:01:28No, do you...
01:01:29This was an accident. You don't understand.
01:01:32We only have your word for it, Miss Birch.
01:01:34Your son has injuries consistent with child abuse.
01:01:37Mom, what's going on?
01:01:39Don't make this any harder on him than it has to be.
01:01:45Shane, this lady over here, this is Mrs. Garrison.
01:01:50You're going to go with her.
01:01:52She's going to take you to a really nice place.
01:01:54And she's going to take really good care of you.
01:01:56I want to go home with you.
01:01:58I know.
01:01:59Baby, I know.
01:02:00I'm going to come and get you as soon as I can.
01:02:03Okay?
01:02:04It's just for a little while.
01:02:07Promise.
01:02:08Promise?
01:02:09Promise.
01:02:10Cross my heart.
01:02:13And I never, never, never break a promise to you, do I?
01:02:16No.
01:02:17No.
01:02:17Never.
01:02:19Go ahead.
01:02:20Go.
01:02:21Okay.
01:02:25Dr. Shigui, the pediatric.
01:02:27Dr. Shigui, the pediatric.
01:02:29Well, thank you so much for coming.
01:02:34It's our pleasure, Julia.
01:02:36I assume Whit will be joining your law team soon?
01:02:39Whit will take the bar in the fall and then officially join the firm.
01:02:42You must be pretty proud of your son.
01:02:43He's only doing what I'd expect of him.
01:02:45I'll walk you guys out, okay?
01:02:50Good night, Julia.
01:02:51Good night, Benjamin.
01:02:51I'll take another у pair of two girls.
01:02:52I'll take another one.
01:02:56What do I do?
01:02:57Be人?
01:02:57Going around.
01:02:58Nothing.
01:03:07I've got a drill.
01:03:08I carved an eye wall for my friend.
01:03:08I cried.
01:03:09I wanted to shine.
01:03:10I cried.
01:03:10I cried.
01:03:11I cried.
01:03:12I cried.
01:03:13I cried.
01:03:13I cried.
01:03:13I cried.
01:03:14I thought you might need this.
01:03:34You always bring me a sweater when you're the one who's cold.
01:03:40When you leave, don't forget to bring those old books to Miss Birch's son.
01:03:45I'm not seeing Kylie anymore.
01:03:52That's too bad.
01:03:54I liked her.
01:03:59You did?
01:04:01But I thought you agreed with Dad.
01:04:02You're always a united front.
01:04:08Not quite united.
01:04:12You never disagree with him.
01:04:15Oh, we disagree often.
01:04:17But I learned a long time ago to stay silent, to keep the peace.
01:04:23But recently I've realized the price I've paid.
01:04:28And what it's done to you.
01:04:30Me?
01:04:30Well, because I had never stood up to your father.
01:04:34I never taught you to do it.
01:04:36I failed you terribly, Whit.
01:04:38Did you stop seeing Kylie because you knew your father was against it?
01:04:49You were raised with great advantage, Whit.
01:04:52But I always wanted more for you.
01:04:54I wanted you to be happy.
01:04:57And when I saw the way you looked at Kylie, I thought that you finally were.
01:05:01I'm sorry, Mom.
01:05:02I'm sorry, Mom.
01:05:04For what?
01:05:05For thinking he was right about you being weak.
01:05:09You're not.
01:05:10You know, you wake up one day and, um, you discover that you're everything that you never wanted to be.
01:05:24I don't know how that happened, but I don't want that to happen to you.
01:05:30Live your life the way you want to, Whit.
01:05:34It doesn't matter what your father thinks.
01:05:37Good night, Mom.
01:06:07There you go, lady.
01:06:20Bye.
01:06:21You want to go over?
01:06:22From that day forth, the professor was the most glorious of savants, and I was the happiest of men.
01:06:28To conclude, I may say that our journey into the interior of the earth created an enormous sensation throughout the civilized world.
01:06:35The end.
01:06:38Can you read it again?
01:06:39It's time, Kylie.
01:06:43No.
01:06:45It's okay, buddy, because I'm going to see you so soon.
01:06:47Friday.
01:06:48And then after that, the hearing.
01:06:51It's not so bad.
01:06:52Three days.
01:06:53Can I come home then?
01:06:54I hope so.
01:06:57I love you more than ice cream.
01:06:59I love you more than myself.
01:07:01Okay, Mrs. Garrison is going to take such good care of you, okay?
01:07:20Come on, Jane.
01:07:21Let's go.
01:07:21Let's go.
01:07:22Hi.
01:07:38What are you doing here?
01:07:41I'm going by your place.
01:07:43Jen told me what happened and where to find you.
01:07:46Yeah?
01:07:46What do you want?
01:07:47I came to apologize, even if you don't want to hear it.
01:07:54I'm just hoping you can forgive me.
01:07:57After all, Jim forgave Huck.
01:08:00Maybe I can help with Shane.
01:08:04At least let me give you a ride home.
01:08:06You don't even have to talk.
01:08:07Okay.
01:08:07I'll be right back.
01:08:37I promised myself
01:08:49that he would never know what it was like
01:08:52to live in someone else's home.
01:08:54What do you have to do to get him back?
01:08:56Once I get past the bruises
01:08:58and I prove that it wasn't child abuse,
01:09:02they still won't let him come home
01:09:04until I take care of them all.
01:09:05That should be the landlord's problem.
01:09:08I've been after the landlord for months
01:09:10and he won't do anything.
01:09:13I think I can help you, Kylie.
01:09:16You can't even help yourself!
01:09:21Yeah.
01:09:25But I still think I can help you.
01:09:29I seem to be better at that than helping myself.
01:09:32I've tried so hard for so long.
01:09:35I just thought at least
01:09:39I could make things better for Shane
01:09:40than they were for me.
01:09:44And I have failed him miserably.
01:09:52No, you didn't.
01:09:53You gave Shane something you never got.
01:10:01Love.
01:10:04That takes real strength and courage.
01:10:13I can't do it anymore.
01:10:16No, I can't.
01:10:17You can.
01:10:20You can't.
01:10:21Yes, you can.
01:10:26You don't have to do it alone now.
01:10:29Why do you need to believe that I can do it?
01:10:31Because
01:10:31then maybe I can too.
01:10:34Mr. Pennington, over here.
01:10:59I don't know what this is about, and I do not like threats.
01:11:08Your message was quite threatening.
01:11:09Well, I got you here.
01:11:10Why are we meeting here?
01:11:12I'm with Sheffield, with Sheffield, Madison, and Carnahan.
01:11:15I'm Miss Birch's attorney.
01:11:16Ah.
01:11:17Oh, OK.
01:11:18This is about her apartment.
01:11:19Talk to my attorney, Stu Federsen.
01:11:20Oh, that'll be my next stop.
01:11:21But my suggestion to you is that you don't let it get that far.
01:11:26Why?
01:11:27Why?
01:11:29Because I'm with one of the top law firms in the city.
01:11:31Federsen is a night school hack.
01:11:32It took three tries to pass the bar.
01:11:34Apparently, you're as cheap in your choice of attorneys
01:11:36as you are with maintaining your apartments.
01:11:37Now, see here.
01:11:38You'll run up huge legal bills, lose,
01:11:40pay our immediately exorbitant fees,
01:11:42and in the end, you'll have to do what
01:11:43you should have done in the first place,
01:11:45which is treat Miss Birch's apartment
01:11:46for a life-threatening mold.
01:11:49So why don't you cut your losses and take care of her apartment?
01:11:51Not because it's the right thing to do, no, but because it'll
01:11:55save you time and a lot of money.
01:11:59I'll consider it.
01:12:04Go, Jason.
01:12:05Get out of here.
01:12:09We hooked him.
01:12:13Sorry.
01:12:14I don't know why I did that.
01:12:15I've read the report prepared by Miss Garrison.
01:12:27Do you have anything to say on your own behalf, Miss Birch?
01:12:30Your Honor, I would like to say something on Miss Birch's behalf.
01:12:34And you are?
01:12:35Her attorney?
01:12:37Not exactly.
01:12:38But I am her advocate, and I have some critical information
01:12:41I want to bring to the court's attention.
01:12:42Very well.
01:12:43Make it brief.
01:12:44In the four months that I've known Miss Birch,
01:12:47I've seen her do everything that she could to take care of her son.
01:12:51It says here he suffers from chronic life-threatening asthma
01:12:56due to an unhealthy home environment.
01:12:58Yes, that is correct.
01:12:59But the landlord was persuaded to deal with the mold issue in her apartment.
01:13:03I have here a report from the county health department
01:13:05certifying that her home is free of mold and safe.
01:13:08Let me see it.
01:13:09Bela.
01:13:10You may sit down, Mr. Sheffield.
01:13:21What were the results of the investigation into the boys' entries?
01:13:25The conclusion was that it was simply an accident.
01:13:28Miss Birch wasn't responsible very well.
01:13:31I find the charges of child abuse and endangerment to be unproven.
01:13:35The child will be returned to the custody of the mother.
01:13:38The child will be returned to the court.
01:14:01He's finally asleep.
01:14:04I had to keep promising him he wouldn't have to leave again.
01:14:07But there's no words to tell you how grateful I am.
01:14:15I owe you so much.
01:14:17You don't owe me anything.
01:14:19You've done so much for us.
01:14:21You've spent so much time.
01:14:23And you probably should have been at school.
01:14:25Don't worry.
01:14:27Then I graduate next week.
01:14:30Now all I have to worry about is passing the bar.
01:14:32You'll pass.
01:14:34How can you be so sure?
01:14:35You're already one heck of a lawyer.
01:14:37You'll join your dad's firm.
01:14:39You'll have a brilliant career.
01:14:41What are you gonna do?
01:14:42I have a job.
01:14:43I'll get by.
01:14:50I need to see you again, Kylie.
01:14:53Shane would love that.
01:14:56You know that's not what I meant.
01:14:58You can see me anytime you want.
01:15:07I love you.
01:15:08You don't know how badly I want to believe that.
01:15:13You don't even know me.
01:15:15I know you.
01:15:18Believe it.
01:15:19You're one of my weakest.
01:15:21That's what love is.
01:15:25Tell me how you feel.
01:15:27All I know is you're where I belong.
01:15:34I have some things I have to work out first.
01:15:39I'm sorry.
01:15:40I've never felt this.
01:15:46Okay.
01:15:51I hope you get it worked out.
01:15:52I have to go.
01:16:17So you want to get together?
01:16:18Study for the bar?
01:16:19Maybe once a week?
01:16:21Yeah, that sounds good.
01:16:22So you moving back home with your parents for a while?
01:16:26Or you gonna get your own place?
01:16:30I was supposed to move back home until I passed the bar,
01:16:33but I don't know.
01:16:36I'm not so sure anymore.
01:16:38Actually, I'm not so sure about a lot of things.
01:16:40Well, I'm getting my own place.
01:16:43If you need to come crash for a little bit
01:16:45until you figure it out, that's fine.
01:16:47Thanks, Alex.
01:16:48Not just for that, but for being a real friend.
01:16:52You're welcome, Whit.
01:16:53It was easy.
01:16:54You're a good guy.
01:16:55Not bad.
01:17:08Not bad.
01:17:09Thank you, Betty.
01:17:11Okay.
01:17:13You'll come to work three days a week.
01:17:17You'll do some work that's not too demanding
01:17:20and spend the rest of the time studying for the bar.
01:17:25I gotta tell you something.
01:17:26After you pass the bar,
01:17:28I'll start you working out under Swenson.
01:17:30Yeah.
01:17:32You can learn a lot from that guy.
01:17:34I'm not going into corporate law,
01:17:37and I won't be going into your firm.
01:17:39What's this about?
01:17:40You've laid out my whole life for me
01:17:41as far back as I can remember,
01:17:43and I never stopped to ask
01:17:44if any of it was what I wanted.
01:17:46Well, I finally asked.
01:17:48The answer is a loud and resounding no.
01:17:50Hmm.
01:17:52Is this about that girl?
01:17:54Her name is Kylie.
01:17:55Is this about that girl, Kylie?
01:17:58Whit, you're being a fool.
01:18:01Maybe.
01:18:04But I'm smart enough to know
01:18:05that I don't want to end up like you.
01:18:08It's very simple, son.
01:18:11She's not good enough for you.
01:18:13This is where you're wrong, Dad.
01:18:16I'm not good enough for her.
01:18:18If you go against my wishes,
01:18:20I will not be there for you.
01:18:25You never were.
01:18:37I'm proud of you, son.
01:18:41Apple juice.
01:18:45I'm proud of you, Mom.
01:18:51I love you.
01:18:53Right back at ya.
01:18:55I love you.
01:19:14Come in.
01:19:15Working late?
01:19:16Mm-hmm.
01:19:18You received your grade?
01:19:20Yes, thank you.
01:19:22I love you.
01:19:23That's not why I'm here.
01:19:25Oh?
01:19:26But your assignment is done.
01:19:28Actually, I don't think it is.
01:19:30See, I finally figured out
01:19:32what this was all about.
01:19:33Kylie doesn't need a low-paying job
01:19:35that barely keeps her over the poverty line.
01:19:37She needs a chance to fulfill a dream
01:19:39that she never even knew she had.
01:19:41Now, I think I know a way to give her that chance.
01:19:44But I'm gonna need your help.
01:19:46I'm listening.
01:20:08Remember when you said your dream was to become a nurse?
01:20:10Hello, Witt.
01:20:12Come on in.
01:20:14What's this about?
01:20:15You can make it happen.
01:20:16Professor Corrales is willing to sponsor you
01:20:18for a special admissions program.
01:20:20Admissions to what?
01:20:21The Morgan School of Nursing.
01:20:22Is that a joke?
01:20:23That's not funny.
01:20:24No, it's not a joke.
01:20:25There is a program for exceptional candidates
01:20:27who don't meet the usual requirements.
01:20:29All you have to do is write an essay
01:20:31about how you overcame hardships
01:20:32and then face an interview panel composed of professors.
01:20:34Okay, let's be realistic.
01:20:36I could maybe go to community college...
01:20:38Stop.
01:20:39Don't do that.
01:20:41I'll settle for small dreams.
01:20:43All right, even if I got in.
01:20:44I can't afford it and you know that.
01:20:46There is financial aid, student loans,
01:20:48grants for single mothers.
01:20:49You have what it takes, Kylie.
01:20:51You can do this.
01:20:53They're gonna say no.
01:20:55But what if they said yes?
01:20:58Well, that's even scarier, isn't it?
01:21:01The night was dark.
01:21:06Branches in the trees overhead swayed
01:21:08in the gentle breeze that moved them.
01:21:10And Reggie's heart felt as though it would explode
01:21:12from his chest as he moved through the thick forest.
01:21:15That's a good picture of it.
01:21:17It's pretty scary, huh?
01:21:27Good afternoon, Miss Birch.
01:21:30Good afternoon, sir.
01:21:31We have your life history essay
01:21:33and the recommendation from Professor Corrales,
01:21:35but we do need to ask a few more questions
01:21:37before we make our final decision.
01:21:39You understand?
01:21:40Yes.
01:21:41Have you thought about what you might major in?
01:21:44The nursing program?
01:21:46And then hopefully one day medical school?
01:21:50I'd love to be a pediatrician.
01:21:52The opportunity to study at a university
01:21:54as prestigious as Morgan
01:21:56is something that should be earned.
01:21:58Do you really think you've earned it, Miss Birch?
01:22:01Some people might think that a person like me
01:22:04couldn't possibly have anything of value to offer
01:22:06because of where I come from and what I've been through.
01:22:11But I think it's really the opposite.
01:22:13I've been through things that no one should ever have to go through
01:22:16and I didn't let it break me.
01:22:18I always had that little voice inside that told me
01:22:20there's got to be so much more to this life
01:22:22than what I've experienced already.
01:22:24And when that voice was at its lowest,
01:22:27someone showed up and miraculously helped me hear it again.
01:22:31It made me realize that I'd really like to do that for other people.
01:22:35I've been through the worst.
01:22:37Here I am on the other side.
01:22:39I've earned it.
01:22:41And no matter what your decision today,
01:22:43I'm not gonna give up on myself again.
01:22:46What will you do if you're not accepted to Morgan?
01:22:48Apply to another college, sir.
01:22:50And that night in the dark of the woods,
01:22:53the shriek of the hawk awoken Ben.
01:22:56See?
01:23:07Hey.
01:23:11Well?
01:23:16I made it.
01:23:17That's great, Mom!
01:23:21Congratulations, Kylie.
01:23:23Knew you could do it.
01:23:25Thanks.
01:23:26Actually, I have some news as well.
01:23:29I got a fellowship at the Western Center of Law and Poverty.
01:23:32I'm gonna be working with kids in the foster system.
01:23:35When I pass the bar, I will be a...
01:23:37Guardian in lightem.
01:23:39Jen and I used to have one.
01:23:41He was a great guy.
01:23:43What about your dad, the firm?
01:23:45That was my father's plan.
01:23:47Not mine.
01:23:48Congratulations.
01:23:50I hope you're happy.
01:23:54You know, buddy.
01:23:59You're the man of the house.
01:24:02I am?
01:24:03Absolutely.
01:24:04And being as such, I need to ask you a question.
01:24:09May I have your permission to ask your mom to marry me?
01:24:12You wanna marry my mom?
01:24:14Yes, I do.
01:24:15If she'll have me, of course.
01:24:18You see, I love your mom.
01:24:20More than I ever dreamed possible.
01:24:22And I just don't think I can be happy without her.
01:24:26Or you, Shane.
01:24:30You wanna be my dad?
01:24:32Very much.
01:24:35Mom, I think we should keep him.
01:24:37Are you sure?
01:24:38Yep.
01:24:42What do you think?
01:24:47Guess.
01:24:48You're the king.
01:25:10That's just for Sophia who is good.
