00:00:05 The first day of school,
00:00:57 - you're coming to my softball game. - Softball game?
00:02:01 get your face out there. Oh! And this is for you to keep.
00:03:07 shuffle papers so you look busy, and know that the first thing
00:04:06 And since there's no real way to say this,
00:04:54 You can't do that. My son's going to college.
00:06:00 Can somebody open this door for me?
00:07:01 Okay.
00:07:54 Oh, my God. Look at us!
00:08:43 - Cause you lost your old crappy job? - No, I'm serious, Mike.
00:09:37 You know, I read in More magazine,
00:10:31 talking about a "meeting with Ehlert" and "time for a fresh start."
00:11:19 No. The point is, your dad and I have decided
00:12:10 We thought you'd be mature enough to handle it.
00:13:02 You think I could make it?
00:13:56 - You sure? - I mean...
00:14:40 An "-ist"! I've always wanted to be an "-ist."
00:15:36 I'm not even talking to my mentee. I don't want to say what happened,
00:16:41 - Now. - Go.
00:17:30 I'm being punished for ignoring you twice?
00:18:16 And I just got so overwhelmed!
00:19:16 I just have this whole long crappy first act,
00:20:19 - Hey, Sue. Wanna sit down? - No, Jenna.
00:21:25 so if you just... give it a hip check. Yeah. Go ahead.
