to be there when she died?

I called you. I called you

when we knew it was close.

I told the nurse, I said,

"Tell me when it's close,

I need to call my brother.

We need to be here together."

I left you messages.

I couldn't breathe.

Dad was here.

Danny was here.

That's right, I'm an a**hole

and Danny's a saint.

I wanted you here.

Me. I called you

because I needed you.

But you know what?

It's fine.

Because Danny held Mom's hand

with me until I was ready

to let it go.

Well, Danny's f***ing around

with that real estate agent,

but I'm glad he was there.

I'm sorry.

I had to tell you.

What... wait a second.

Hey, baby.

How's the concert?

Hey.

It's a girl.

Wh...

I'm sorry.

Justine, I'm sorry.

This one.

Not this one!

Yeah, but you said

you wanted to wear the...

- No!

- Come on, Teddy, you said

you wanted to wear

the robot shirt.

- I didn't.

- Yeah, you did.

You said you wanted to wear

the robot shirt.

I don't... I really don't want to

have this discussion right now.

No!

Hey, where's Danny?

I don't know.

He's not here.

But I made him leave the car.

Come on, I got this.

- Yeah, over here.

- Yeah, come here, honey.

- He's right there.

- I know, I know.

- Let's put on your shirt, okay?

- No.

- Yeah.

- Come on, honey.

You love this shirt.

Okay.

Use soft hands, please.

No, Mommy, no!

- Please? Please?

- Yeah, no hitting.

Hey! No.

Come on. Soft hands.

You know what?

I think you guys

just need to go.

I just need some time to myself.

Hey, Teddy, you wanna

take a chill pill, bro?

Chill pill, bro.

Yeah.

Trains

Trains? You like trains?

Mm.

I'm a big fan of trains myself.

Don't ride backwards

on a train though, okay?

Why?

It'll make you sick.

Do you ever get nauseous?

I don't know.

No?

Dude, he's a genius.

You've never met

a three-year-old.

This is normal.

This is not normal.

How are all the museums closed

today?

It's Monday.

Everything's closed on Monday.

Museums, theaters, that amazing

meatball place.

I gotta tape everything up.

Make sure he doesn't

hurt himself.

Oh, that's great.

I mean, for me.

You wouldn't believe what

happened here last Friday.

This hooker hit a vein.

Teddy, do you want to go

to the park?

No park!

- I mean, it bled everywhere.

- Come on, buddy.

You want to stay in Hudson's

apartment all day?

I have to go to the park.

Yeah, well, he's going

to the park

for a different reason

than you're going to the park.

Yeah, but two birds, right?

One stone.

Hello?

Yeah?

Where are you guys?

Dinner's almost ready.

We're in the city.

At Hudson's place.

Hudson?

Hey, Jake's hot sister.

That dirtbag?

- I can't believe you.

- Hudson says hello.

Hello?

Hello?

What does she look like now?

My sister?

- My pregnant sister?

- She still hot?

Oh, you're a little crazy

person, huh?

Mommy!

Baby!

Hi.

Hey.

- Hey.

- Hi, Mama!

Hey, baby.

You told me to take him

on a trip.

We're going home now.

Oh, man.

Yeah.

This is not an appropriate place

for a child.

You're not an appropriate place

for a child.

So should I follow you?

No, do not follow me.

Hey, uh,

I'm out of clean sheets,

but we're gonna make this work.

Most of our traders

are in their 20s.

This work is gonna kick

your ass.

I am used to

having my ass kicked.

And the salary's...

It's awful.

I'm aware.

It's okay.

Well, Rich Kaplan

says you're good.

You probably are.

You play golf?

Yeah, a little bit.

You play?

Yeah, all the time.

I used to play in college.

Yeah, well,

I wouldn't recommend it

unless I believed

in the product myself.

I'm telling you, Emmy and Morgan

are gonna thank you,

once they're old enough to talk.

All right.

Okay, I gotta go.

Thanks, Howard, bye.

There was no receptionist

so I just walked back here.

I noticed that.

You know this is my place

of work, right?

You won't call me back.

So what am I supposed to do?

I don't know.

Use your inside voice.

She won't see me.

I haven't hung out

with Teddy in two days.

He had a doctor's visit

the other day.

I didn't even know about it

until the next day.

Whoa, what's wrong with him?

That croup-flu thing again.

Okay, well,

what's his temperature?

I don't know.

That's my point, man.

I mean, Teddy could be, like,

counting to, like, 100 by now.

I seriously doubt that.

I'm writing him these little

tiny postcards.

I don't know what else to do.

Sorry, all we have

is the small ones.

He has his little swim class

graduation next week.

What if they wear caps

and I'm not there?

F***, man,

it's not like I'm unhappy.

Okay, where are you living?

In that house I just finished.

On an air mattress.

No sheets.

I don't know how the f*** you

slept on that raft

for three months.

You know what, man?

Whatever. I deserve it.

Well, you can begin

by going to Target.

Get the Martha Stewart sheets.

They're soft as f***.

I'm telling you.

Are you gonna help me?

Are you gonna use

your inside voice?

Are you gonna help me?

Well, you are a totally

uneventful pregnancy.

Very healthy.

Very boring.

See you next month.

We are getting a nice bump in

our advanced risk investments.

I gotta say, Jake, I wasn't

sure you were up for this.

But these are some

animal numbers.

Yeah, bro, what's

with the 5:
00 A.M. clock-ins?

What are you?

Part rooster?

I hear...

Just heard,

that he does like cock.

Oh, sh*t!

I'm just... don't,

don't shoot the messenger.

Early bird gives the beej.

Ha. Cock. Awesome. Yes.

Uh, but like Phil was saying,

we are seeing a ton of reward

in our high-yield portfolio.

And... excuse me.

Sorry.

If we look towards

the second quarter,

we're gonna see some real big

numbers

if we just stay the course on,

um...

I'm sorry.

I just gotta quickly take this.

Excuse me.

Hey, is everything okay?

No! Hey!

No, Mommy, no!

Justine, it's your brother,

Jake, hello?

Teddy. Teddy, we need you

to put your trunks on.

You cannot be a naked boy

in swim class.

I can be a naked boy.

Just one second.

Teddy. Teddy, we need

to put your trunks on, okay?

Hey, where's my giraffe?

Honey.

Unky Jake, Unky Jake, Unky Jake!

Teddy, hey, can you please

have soft...

Sorry, man.

I've got a family emergency.

So I'll be back

in a couple of hours tomorrow

if it runs any longer, okay?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I just called you an animal.

I never say that.

Right, and I'm gonna be back

in that chair tomorrow,

animal-ing it up.

Okay, so, you have a choice

you have to make.

Either you're the guy

who sits right back in the chair

right now.

Or you're the guy who leaves

work for his family.

Right.

Don't... don't give me

that look.

This isn't Jerry Maguire, dude.

I won't fire you.

You can put up numbers.

But you know this is one

of those decisions

that will keep you right here.

In the middle.

Forever.

F***ing intense.

I'll be back bright and early,

okay?

Like a rooster.

Cock, cock, man.

All right, Neal,

what else do you got for us?

"There's a lot of reward
