You know I'm coming for you, for you
-(whispering) Wait, wait, wait. - Relax. We're gonna hear your mom pull up.
- She's not gonna see anything. - Uh, speak for yourself.
- Oh. - Yeah.
- How's that? - You're gonna need a bigger pillow.
Ooh, baby, ooh I like what you do
Ooh, baby, ooh Yeah, I do it too...
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Okay, look. She's gonna be home any second and I need to get to work, anyway.
Let's just chill, okay?
You know, we wouldn't have to keep worrying about your mom
if we just went to my place.
- You can't avoid my dad forever. - It's more like we're avoiding each other.
(sighs) Okay. I am so not okay with this whole you-two-not-speaking thing.
I mean, especially now that we're dating?
I miss watching dumb movies with you on my couch.
I know.
Will you please talk to him?
I see what you're doing. You think you can...
Is it working?
I will talk to your pops. I promise.
Good answer. Come on. I'll give you a ride to work.
Yeah, I'm gonna need a second. Just one second.
(sighs) Hey, girl. Give me that damn pillow.
Man, I can't believe JJ's a meme.
I don't think it counts if you make it yourself.
- It's already got over 100 comments. - Yeah, all of them by him.
Uh, look, man, I'm sorry. We can... We can talk about something else.
It's fine. You don't have to stop talking about football because of me.
- Nothing has to change. - So, that's it? You... You're done?
I mean, the decision was basically made for me.
Every doctor I've seen says it's too dangerous to keep playing, so...
- Well, you're taking it really well. - Trust me, I was a mess for a while.
That's why my dad took me away. But I found out it's genetic and...
I mean, there's no point in freaking out over something I can't control, you know?
Besides, what better way to go out than with two championship rings, right?
Don't forget to glue the asterisk to that second ring.
Oh, my God.
Yeah. Hey, Spence. Hold up a second.
Um, I noticed you haven't been coming around the house lately.
You sure we're all good with our fight at the championship?
You mean your sucker punch?
Um, it was more like Ali's, you know, phantom punch.
- You didn't even see it coming. - Sounds like a sucker punch to me.
No, man, we good. I can only fight one Baker man at a time.
- Got it. - Things cool with you and your pops?
- Pssh. A little tense, but okay. - I wish I could say the same.
Every time he passes me in the hall, it's like he looks right through me.
This is my fault. I'm the one who asked you to train me.
I'm sorry that I got you in trouble with my dad, but, I mean...
Give him some time.
- He'll come around. - Yeah.
There's my baby girl. How was tonight?
- Good. I was hanging out with Spencer. - Oh. Awesome.
He says hi. Are you gonna to say hi back?
- Why is he here? - No, he's not. And do you know why?
Why don't we talk about this at a later date?
Dad, Spencer used to live with us, and now he won't even come here.
He thinks that you don't want him here.
Well, I think he's made it quite clear that he doesn't give a damn what I want.
He's my boyfriend, Dad.
- He's gonna be around for a while. - Mmm. Is he?
Look. He's signing to Toledo, and Ohio is not close to Beverly Hills.
Then maybe I'll go to college in Ohio, too.
You are not planning your future around some boy.
Look, Spencer is gonna focus on what's best for him.
And I suggest that you do the same.
Please forget my birthday, please forget my birthday, please forget my birthday.
- Surprise! - Happy birthday!
(Billy laughs)
Wow. You guys remembered.
Yay!
Do you seriously think we'd forget your 18th birthday?
- Laura made some Layla cakes. -(Laura) I did.
- They are pancakes shaped like an L. - Yeah.
So, basically Jordan cakes, but you just gotta flip them over.
- And Olivia cakes are a giant O. - So, what, just like a regular pancake?
Yeah, pretty much.
But anyway, it's... It's kind of like a family tradition.
- Tradition, yeah. - Oh. Thank you, Mrs. Baker.
Aww, you deserve it, sweetie. It's like they say, you only turn 18 once.
- Nobody says that. - I'm pretty sure somebody did.
Well, you only turn 17 once, and 19, and literally any other age--
Enough, Jordan.
- So, what do you plan to do today? - Uh, nothing really.
So, school and lunch with my dad. I have a recording session with Coop.
I don't really like to make a big deal out of my birthdays.
(both) Since when?
Uh... (chuckles) I don't know. It's just any other day.
Doing 90 on a highway with the top down
Speedin' just to make my way home
But when the motion pulled me over talkin' right now
-(song continues playing in background) -(clears throat)
(scoffs)
Okay, um...
I was hoping you would respond to me in person instead of just ignoring me.
I'm not ignoring you. I'm just busy. There's a difference.
Yeah. Well, there's also a difference of being busy and being rude.
I just got a lot to do before I meet Liv at the studio.
Do you really think it's a good idea to be rushing back?
Obviously I do, or I wouldn't be going.
Well, what did your doctor have to say about it?
She said she wanna come to the studio and lay a track with me.
She said it's all good. Damn. What's with the third degree?
I don't know. I just want... I just want you to talk to me.
And I feel like there's a lot that I don't know lately.
Like, I didn't even know you were going back to the studio.
Well, now you know.
Ain't you gonna be late for school or something?
- Yeah. -(hits table)
Yeah, I am.
- Well, wish me luck at the studio. - Good luck.
-(horn blows) -(boinks)
- Surprise! - Wow. You guys remembered.
The JJ in the box is obviously JJ's idea.
And him having clothes was definitely mine.
He's out of town, but he still wanted to feel included.
Wait until you see your desk in homeroom.
- It's... - Also JJ's idea.
Yeah. I... I can't wait. (chuckles)
Um, so, I'm guessing there's gonna be a party tonight.
- No. - Yeah.
Nice, Liv. What...
Well... Well, she obviously figured it out. She's not you.
Uh, listen. Thank you guys for... this
and whatever is waiting for me in homeroom,
but, uh, I really don't need a big party.
Can we just do, like, a small dinner or something?
Uh, yeah. I mean, if that's what you want. A dinner sounds nice.
Yeah. Perfect. Okay.
- Okay. (chuckles) - Happy birthday.
Um... (sniffles)
Guys, we haven't been planning a party for a week
to change it to some boring dinner. Okay?
I don't know. She seems serious. Maybe we should keep it low-key.
Yeah, I'm actually with Liv on this.
Guys, low-key would be fine if it was Butler's party, right?
But this is Layla we're talking about.
She's thrown our party since, what, we were in the single digits?
And she's had a rough couple of weeks. If anyone deserves a party, it's Layla.
Okay, fine. Okay. But don't go all JJ on it, okay?
- None of this. - Yeah.
- Small party. - Mmm-hmm.
(mouthing) Small.
(whispering) Miniscule.
All right.
(both sigh deeply)
All I heard was "party."
- Uh-huh. - Hmm-hmm.
(bell rings)
So, are you still coming over later?
Change of plans. We gotta run to the mall.
I have a feeling we'll need to save Layla from Jordan's party.
Yeah, I was told to bring a bunch of singles.
Y'all having strippers or something?
- No. - Are you sure?
No.
All right, I'll meet you at the mall.
You know, sometimes I wish I had a real boyfriend,
do real boyfriend things. You know, like actually pick me up at my house.
Maybe even come inside, talk to my dad.
- Spencer? - Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry.
You're right. I'm gonna swing by after school.
It's time me and Coach Baker deal with this.
(soft music playing)
(knock at door)
You wanted to see me, Coach?
Good to see you, Asher. How you holding up?
Uh, fine.
Okay, not fine. But, you know, it is what it is, right?
Not like I can be mad at my parents for giving me crap genes.
We wouldn't have won that championship game without your plays.
You deserve your ring, Asher. I need you to know that.
Yeah, thanks, Coach. It means a lot.
So, I know you've seen a couple of doctors already, but I want you to see one more.
My husband knows a cardiologist who works with the Rams,
and he's willing to see you today.
Coach, look. I... I spent three weeks
seeing doctors all over the country, and they all said the same thing.
Okay? Is this guy really gonna tell me anything different?
He might.
Dr. Rowan is one of the leading heart specialists in the country,
and he focuses on athletes.
I don't know, Coach.
I wouldn't have set this up if I didn't think you had a chance.
I never know what to say
I fall apart everyday...
I thought we were just having lunch.
Come on. I wasn't gonna ignore your 18th birthday.
It's a big deal. You are officially an adult now.
- Um, it really isn't that big a deal. - Sure it is.
I remember on my 18th birthday, my pops took me to a gun range.
It was the first time he ever treated me like an adult.
It was the best birthday I ever had.
Come on. Just a few things for my princess on her special day.
Okay.
A tiara?
- I thought it was hair jewelry. - No, it's definitely a... A tiara.
I mean, you... You could still wear it on your birthday, right?
Yeah, when I address my royal subjects from the balcony. (scoffs)
Uh, no. Thank you, Dad. It's... It's pretty.
Yeah. You know, you will like the next one even more.
Can the scepter wait?
Um, I promise I'll get to the gifts, but can we just forget it's my birthday?
I really just want to enjoy lunch with you.
(restaurant staff singing)
Happy birthday to you
- Hey. - Hey.
- Got a minute? - Uh, can it wait?
I'm just about to meet Cooper at the studio.
Then no, it can't.
So, this is about Coop?
(sighs)
- Am I about to have a dad talk? - A dad talk?
Yeah, like a TED Talk, only, usually, I'm in trouble.
- You aren't in trouble. Sit. - Okay.
You know, your mother and I have always been supportive
of your relationship with Coop,
but since you've been dating, she joined a gang,
dropped out of school and got shot.
Okay, first of all, she's not in a gang.
Anymore.
And, like, since when do you and Mom judge people for their mistakes?
When those mistakes put our daughter in unnecessary danger.
Well, I'm not in danger, Dad.
Can you deny that trouble seems to follow Coop everywhere?
Maybe you could help me understand why I'm taking you to another doctor.
I thought we agreed that you were done with football.
That's when we thought there wasn't a chance.
I mean, Coach Montes thinks this doctor could help.
Oh, I didn't realize that the decision was up to your coach.
- Sorry. Ex-coach. - It's not. It's my decision.
I don't see what the big deal is, anyway. She's just looking out for me.
So am I.
Mom...
This could mean football again.
All right? I need to see this through. Be hopeful with me.
(sighs)
(car door closes)
(knock at door)
Oh, uh, Olivia's upstairs.
I wanted to talk to you first.
Uh, some other time. I'm kind of busy right now.
So, this is how it's gonna be now?
I said I was busy, Spencer. What do you want from me?
You just gonna freeze me out forever, huh?
I'm not freezing you out. I was your coach and now the season's over.
You were always more than a coach to me, man.
- Everything okay? - Yeah.
Let's go.
(door closes)
Are you sure you want to return all this stuff?
Jordan's not gonna like it.
I don't care. It's Layla's party, not Jordan's.
And I guarantee you, this was all JJ's idea.
I mean, the last thing that she wants
is people beating up a pinata that looks like her.
- Maybe it could be someone else. - What? Like who? Her ex-boyfriend?
- I would never do that to Asher. - How about one that looks like my dad?
Could we not talk about your pops for a while?
Maybe if--
Liv, he don't want nothing to do with me. He made that clear. Let it go.
You had no right interfering in my family's business.
You must be Asher's mom. Nice to finally meet you.
Asher had finally gotten to a good place.
And now we are right back where we started,
waiting for yet another round of tests.
- All you've done is given him false hope. - Well, you don't know that.
Shouldn't Asher explore every option before giving up something he loves?
It couldn't hurt to hear what the doctor has to say.
Yes, it could. No matter what the outcome is, it's bad.
Either Asher has his dreams crushed yet again
or I have to worry about him having a heart attack
every time he steps on the field.
I am just trying to give Asher all the information he needs
to make the best decision for himself.
For himself or for you?
Look, I appreciate how you've been there for my son, but enough is enough.
You don't get to put his life in danger
so you can live out your own failed football dreams.
And you don't get to kill your son's dreams
just for a second chance to play mom again.
Well, you're not his coach anymore.
So, as far as I'm concerned, his days of listening to you are over.
Stay out of his life.
(door opens)
I thought you were out with Spencer.
Yeah. He just dropped me off, because thanks to Dad, he won't come in.
Ah.
So, what, is he gonna Zoom in for the party?
I mean, he's gonna make an exception.
Ah.
I just don't... I don't get why Dad is being so mean to him
when, honestly, the whole training thing was literally your fault.
(sighs) Well, extreme times call for extreme measures, Liv.
And besides, I already apologized to both Dad and Spence.
Dad's probably just more mad because the Chargers lost.
The Eagles lost, Jordan.
Read 'em and weep, Liv. Okay?
(turns off TV)
- Yo, seriously? - Yes, Jordan, seriously.
Dad is being a complete ass to Spencer. That doesn't bother you?
Dad is being a complete ass to me too, Olivia. It doesn't seem to bother you.
Well, at least he hasn't stopped talking to you.
It's like he expects Spencer to be, like, perfect or something.
(sighs)
We're ready again whenever you are.
All right, stop rushing me.
All right.
Okay. Here we go. Two measures and you're in.
(plays hip hop music)
Yeah
Yeah Uh
Yeah (coughs)
Yeah
Yeah. I think you're playing the track too fast.
(music stops)
Same track as before, but we can adjust the volume if that'll help.
(music resumes)
Yeah
All right. Cut. Can you stop the track?
Okay, stop the track. Coop, what's the problem this time?
I don't know. I'm just... I'm getting some feedback again.
There's no problem on our end.
We've already checked the master and swapped out your headphones.
Okay. Well, I'm hearing something.
Coop, if you're not ready, you can tell me. I will understand.
I know you wanted to get back in the studio,
but right now, we're just wasting my time and money.
I'm not trying to.
All right? I'm just a little off. It happens.
You're right. It happens. Um...
I think we're both just having an off day. We'll get it right next time.
Why aren't you mad at me for training with Spencer behind your back?
I'm plenty mad at you.
So, then why are you still talking to me? The whole thing was my idea, Dad.
And yet Spencer is the one you won't let off the mat?
- Spencer's not my son. -(chuckling) Okay. Since when? Hmm?
You've been all in on him since day one. You moved him into our house.
You quit your job to coach him at Crenshaw.
The way I see it, not only is Spencer your son, but he's your favorite son.
Do you really think I love Spencer more than I love you?
I think you respect him more.
That's the real reason you're so upset.
You expect more from him, so you can't stand it whenever he lets you down.
And the only thing that you expect of me is to screw up.
At least be honest enough to admit that.
- Jordan. Jordan. - No.
I cannot wait until the weekend...
A tray of assorted cream puffins for Patience, please.
Thank you.
(song continues playing in background)
What the hell is a cream puffin?
Um, the baby of a cream puff and a muffin, I guess.
Girl, I don't know. It was something fancy on the list that they make, so...
And Layla deserves the best, right?
Well, she definitely didn't get that from me today.
What, you had a bad session?
I was gonna try to stop by, but I got stuck at home.
- It's fine. I don't care. - What, you don't care that I wasn't there?
That's not what I meant. What, you trying to start a fight or something?
No. I'm just trying to be a part of your life, Coop.
And it doesn't feel like I am lately. Do you even care what I think?
'Cause you have been making a lot of decisions without me that affect us both.
Such as?
How about lying to the cops about shooting Mo?
Why even confront Mo in the first place? What about that?
First of all, lower your damn voice.
Second, how does that affect you? I'm the one that got shot.
We are together. So, your problems are my problems.
And if you don't get that, like... I don't even know what else to say.
I don't know. I think maybe we should just... I don't know.
My lungs are done.
- That's the real. - Wait. What?
I'm struggling 'cause of the damage from the bullet.
Truth is, the doctor never cleared me, not even close.
And she says I may not ever recover full lung capacity.
Coop, I'm sorry.
I tried to prove her wrong today,
but I couldn't even get through a whole song.
My chest was hurting, my lungs was tight,
and I... (sighs) I can't even rap like I used to.
What if I never can?
I'm sorry.
(kisses)
Damn, I'm the life of the party
Pull up in your space and I don't say sorry
So, the doctor's running some more tests, and they should let me know soon.
Well, good luck, man. Fingers crossed, right?
Thanks.
Oh. Get this. He works with a bunch of NFL guys, right?
- Evan Riggs was in the waiting room. - No way. What? E-Train?
Tell me that you asked him for an autograph.
No, dude. We were in a doctor's office. It's serious times. I didn't want to--
- So, yes? - Yeah, I did.
(laughs)
(phone vibrating)
Hello. This is Asher.
Am I losing my mind or did we not return this?
- Yes, we definitely returned it. - Do you think she followed us home?
Woman, don't play with me.
No, stop. Come back. Enough is enough.
Okay, I love you both.
And you two love each other, so start acting like it.
- Sweetie, everything is good between us. - Yeah, we all good.
Okay. Well, I'm not. And I won't be until you two work things out.
So, if you care about me at all, you'll talk.
- Okay? - Okay.
We pretty much said everything that needed to be said, right?
No, I got something I need to get off my chest.
You said I had to be the hero when Jordan came to me for help,
and that may be true.
Let me ask you this.
Why do you feel he couldn't come to you... Coach?
Please, God, just be a dinner. Please just be a dinner, please.
(man) Hey, hey, hey. Quiet. She's coming, guys.
(mimics crying)
-(all cheering) -(man) Surprise! Happy birthday!
- Make way. Make way. Make way. - Happy birthday.
- Here we go. -(Billy) Okay, light this up.
-(upbeat music playing) -(Billy) Oh, my...
- Sup? - I'm all up in that...
Butler, what... Okay, really?
Now giddy up Giddy up, girl, come on
- We should have just done dinner. - Yeah, she doesn't look happy.
Yo, she make we wanna flow
She make, ah, ah, uh
Get in there. There you go. There you go.
What's up with you and Coop? Y'all two been acting weird all night.
- Uh, nothing. We're just tired. - Okay. Okay. Then I'll just ask Coop.
But then I'm only gonna hear her side,
and I usually believe whatever I hear first.
Okay.
I almost broke up with her today.
Yeah, we're both just having trouble dealing with everything that's happened.
I don't blame you. It's a lot to deal with,
- but y'all two gonna find your way. - I don't know, Spence,
'cause she keeps lying, and telling me everything is fine when it isn't.
Like, it almost took me ending things with her for her to just tell the truth.
About what?
Look, apparently, she has some lung issues.
So, for now, she can't rap.
I still love her, you know, but I'm... I'm just worried.
And the last time that she was depressed, she got involved with the bliss.
Like, music saved her life, so what is she gonna do without that?
Look, look, working through getting shot ain't easy.
Mmm-hmm.
But we both know how strong Coop is, okay? She's gonna be fine.
We just gotta stand by her, no matter what.
Yeah.
No matter what.
Thanks.
Happy birthday, Layla.
-(chuckles) - Oh.
Just do one of these. Uh, thank you. That was... That was quite the dance.
Yeah. So, how you holding up after the whole thing with your friend?
- Oh, you... You know about that? - Yeah, JJ told me. He told everybody.
Of course he did. Um, yeah, I'm great. Just, you know, keeping busy.
Uh, thank you again for the lovely dance.
- Happy birthday! - Oh.
(both chuckle)
So, you doing okay?
Yeah. Great. Just keeping busy.
So, how weird was it for you just to be here,
you know, at Layla's party?
Me and Layla are good, okay?
- Start no drama-- - Excuse me.
Look, man, I'm sorry about my dad. He's being a jerk.
If it makes you feel any better, I went off on him earlier.
- It doesn't. - Not even a little bit?
Look, man, I appreciate you having my back,
But no matter what we're going through, that's your pops.
You need to respect that.
Yeah, well, he doesn't really seem to respect me.
You know that ain't true.
If my dad was still alive and our situations were reversed,
you'd be telling me the same thing.
Your scowl lines are making a scene. Is there anything I can do?
Why do you think Jordan went to see Spencer behind my back?
Why didn't he come to me for help?
Well, 'cause you probably would have said no.
Jordan worships you, Billy.
He'd never wanna disappoint you. That can't be easy with Spencer around.
He thinks I expect more from Spencer than I do from him.
Well, maybe you do.
I mean, Spencer had to grow up fast, so it's hard not to see him as an adult.
I think Jordan just wants to be seen the same way, too.
Well, then maybe he shouldn't make such bad decisions.
- Come on, Billy. - What?
I mean, you got back on the field too soon after you blew out your knee.
Spencer played after he got shot.
Are you really surprised that Jordan did what he did?
Yeah, I guess he does take after me in that way.
Happy birthday.
- Aren't you gonna ask how I'm doing? - No.
Thank you.
Oh, just so you know, I had nothing to do with Butler's dance.
(both chuckle)
That was all JJ.
He had another surprise, but Liv and I got rid of that.
The pinata? Yeah, I found it upstairs. (laughing) It scared me half to death.
- It's quite the turnout. - Yeah.
- Who doesn't love a party? - Me.
I can't stand surprise parties, or parties, or surprises.
I usually find somewhere to hide.
Maybe you should too, in case JJ got something else planned.
- You don't think that'd be rude? - It's your party.
Be rude, girl. Go ahead.
I'll cover for you.
Thanks, Spencer.
You're welcome.
(imitates phone ringing)
- Ooh. Who's there? - State champs.
(Butler) Oh, that's right.
(Spencer) Well, you might wanna hang up. Sounds like somebody made the wrong call.
(Butler) Yeah, I'll take the MVP trophy.
-(Jordan) MVP? - Yeah.
- You think you play better than-- -(Butler) Both of you.
(Jordan) Once second, one second...
I'm pretty sure they dumped all the liquor after the whole Liv second-relapse thing.
Yeah.
(sighs) Probably for the best, anyways.
Wasn't about to be my best decision.
- Bad day? -(sighs) Bad couple of years.
I hear that.
I, um, just found out my heart problem was caused by taking steroids.
I can never play football again, and, um, I did it to myself.
And I went and got shot.
You should have seen me trying to rap earlier.
I thought being shot helped rappers.
Yeah. Well, I thought taking steroids helped football players.
You know, if I hadn't seen that last doctor,
I wouldn't have known that it was my fault.
I think that's what I deserve for getting my hopes up.
I should have left it alone, you know?
Yeah, Hope sucks. I don't know how many times I gotta learn that lesson.
Spencer said you were up here.
And...
I'm so sorry about the party.
I was so caught up in my dad and Spencer's drama that I... I didn't stop Jordan.
It's fine. There's... There's nothing you could have done.
- He would have found a way. -(scoffs)
He just wanted you to feel loved. We all do.
Yeah, I know.
Um, and I do. But what I don't feel is heard.
Hey, say the word and I will call the cops.
Okay? They'll shut this party down in a second. They hate me.
It's not just the party. It's... me.
I need to be the kind of person who doesn't just, I don't know,
smile and pretend like everything's perfect when I'm feeling beat up.
Using JJ's stupid party favor as a visual aid. I like it.
I can't be that person anymore, Liv.
I moved in with you guys to take charge of my life.
And the next step in that is being more direct.
I have to learn to be brutally honest and make people hear me,
- even if they don't like what I wanna say. - Layla, you're already doing that.
I mean, telling your dad that you didn't feel safe with him had to be tough,
but you did it anyway, and he listened.
Unlike us, when you said that you didn't want to make a big deal of your birthday.
I sound ungrateful and selfish.
No. Definitely not ungrateful.
Sometimes being selfish is necessary to protect your peace.
I mean, honestly, screw everyone else.
Are you still talking to me?
I'm talking to both of us.
Hey.
Look, I know things are bad right now,
but there's nothing that we can't get through, okay?
- It don't matter. - Come on. Of course, it does.
Look, forget what that dumb doctor said.
She don't know you or what you're capable of.
- I don't know. Together I think we could-- - I'm... I'm done, Patience.
Done with what?
Done hoping, praying, rapping. All of it. I quit.
After everything you've been through?
I mean, we can get a second opinion, and a third if we need to.
- You can't just quit your dreams. - Look, are you not hearing me?
I'm not trying to get my hopes up for nothing.
The dream is dead. Music is dead.
Okay, Coop.
Bye.
There she is. Good night, princess.
-(kisses) - Um...
- Please stop calling me princess. - I've always called you princess.
Yeah, and... And that was fine when I was eight.
But now, it just makes me think of a helpless girl in a tower
waiting to be saved, and that's not me.
- Oh, it's just a nickname. - You got me a tiara.
Look, I haven't been a little girl in a long time, and all 18 really did
was officially shut the door on the childhood I never really had.
So, that's why I didn't really want to celebrate.
Consider "princess" retired.
Your mother hated birthdays, too.
- I didn't know that. - Yeah.
Not the birthday itself so much as the parties.
You know, she was an extroverted introvert, like you.
And her favorite birthdays was when it was just the three of us.
Look, um...
Any chance I can get a do-over? Just scrap the tiara?
You know, just 'cause you've been an adult for a long time
doesn't mean you can't celebrate your birthday.
Let's go do something fun. Just two of us. Anything my princess...
Anything you want.
Anything?
Are you sure about this?
I am officially an adult taking control of my life.
Unless, of course, you think I'm too much of a princess.
Definitely not.
Good answer.
I'm not afraid to face the dark
Although I'm small I got a lot of heart
This time, I won't let doubt stop me
I won't let shame hold me down
I'm gonna stand up taller
I'm a fighter, I'm a fighter
Survivor...
Look, I thought we agreed it's best for all of us to keep some distance.
I ain't got nowhere else to go.
Come on over.
Survivor
I will survive, survive, survive
I'm a fighter, a fighter
Survivor, survivor
How you feeling?
- Not great. You? - Not great.
You probably caught it from me.
Look, I'm sorry about what I said earlier. I... I didn't mean it.
No, you meant it.
I just want you to know
that there is no one I respect more than you and your sister.
I mean,
if you knew (chuckles) how proud I was when you were picking apart my defense...
I... I was pissed, but I was, uh... I was proud.
I just wish you felt more comfortable coming to me when you need help.
It's not that I didn't feel comfortable, Dad. It's...
It's because the last time I came to you, you covered for me
and you almost lost your job.
Look, I knew what I was doing was a mistake,
but I wanted it to be my mistake.
I can respect that.
You are a man.
I guess I need to start treating you like one,
even when you make questionable decisions.
So, we all good then? Me, you, Spence?
Why don't you go help your mother clean up?
Okay.
- Got any food left? I'm hungry. Okay? -(chuckling) No.
Thanks for sticking around. I know it makes you feel uncomfortable.
No. I'm always comfortable with you.
(chuckles)
So, what stupid movie we watching tonight?
(laughs)
Thanks for trying with my dad.
He's gonna come around eventually, but in the meantime,
I say we forget about him, okay? Just focus on each other.
Done. He may not accept me, but he gonna have to accept us.
