Alex of Venice
- Yeah.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, kiddo.
- What's up, Al?
Sure you can concentrate
on your homework in here, babe?
- Yeah.
- We helping D out.
Me and your dad are mathematical wizards.
Oh, really? Tell that
to the debt collectors when...
- Walt, where's my lighter?
- In your pocket.
Sh*t.
Dad, come on. How many times do I have
to tell you to smoke in private. Okay?
It's medicinal.
Smells good out here.
Hey.
So, I think we have a real good chance
of winning this thing.
I haven't seen Maureen
this excited in a long time.
- Good for you, that's great.
- How's the parent-teacher conference?
Look, academically he's fine, they just...
they want him to have more friends.
He has friends.
He has a friend, I mean, I hate it when
they say stuff like that. Dakota is fine.
Yeah, of course he's 'fine,'
I'm just saying...
- Have you paid this?
- They want us...
...to encourage him to have
more friends. Yeah, I paid this.
I just think it'd be good for him.
a ton of friends. I didn't.
Well, next time there's
a parent-teacher conference,
you can have it out with them.
Hey, Maureen.
Yeah.
Back in the day...
when I was doing the show.
We used to go down to Xalapa.
This beautiful little fishing village.
Really, Dad? Xalapa again?
I love Xalapa. Isn't that where
you met that sweet young thing?
- Stripper. Yeah.
- Dad.
What? I can't say the word 'stripper'?
I can't say 'stripper' in my own house?
- What... would you prefer 'peeler'?
- George...
Don't forget you had that audition...
tomorrow, so put it in your phone, okay?
- What's the audition?
- Play. It's a play.
How do you...
how do you do that again, George?
Lemme see the ring?
Just put it in the calendar.
How many times do I have to show you this?
Open up the calendar,
- the calendar's right there, okay?
- Cool.
Hit calendar, and then... I got it.
Right, and you talked to her about that?
- It's Tuesday, so...
- Right.
Your blood pressure and your cholesterol
and your multivitamin.
- On the... top of the week.
- Yeah.
I left him a message about that.
He's going to call me tomorrow.
- You fill up the days with the pills.
- Yeah, but how will I know?
- Yeah. Okay.
- I made you a list. It's easy.
- Just... come on. Pay attention.
- Great.
No, how will I know what pill
goes into what day.
- I made you the list. Go put it on the fridge.
- I don't need this.
- Yes, you... it doesn't hurt to have it.
- You got me covered.
Are you kidding me? I shouldn't have
to beg you to take your f***ing medicine.
- You're... you're not a baby!
- Can I... can I call you back?
Okay. Okay, great. Thanks.
Just take the f***ing list, okay? Sorry.
Hey... why don't you and pop...
go ahead and get ready for bed. Alright?
Sorry, George, I'm...
Sorry, I just made a list for your Dad.
I can't... I can't keep going over this.
Can't keep going over this.
What's going on?
I...
I can't... I can't be
your housewife anymore.
What? How are you my housewife?
I did the cooking
and the cleaning, and I...
- I go to PTA meetings.
- And you paint, and you surf, and...
- Not really, not anymore.
- Well, you could.
I...
I just need some... time away.
I've given up a lot for us.
That's not fair, okay?
That's not fair. You...
You're the one who said he wanted me
to go back to school, right?
You're the one who said
he'd stay home with Dakota.
It's not my fault if you didn't paint,
George, okay? So don't put that on me.
I just don't feel like you... you're around
anymore. You know? I want to...
I don't feel like you're... you're...
I want to, you know, I want...
I want some...
I want to do things too, you know?
George, you can paint, I mean, y...
You could do whatever you want.
I'm not holding you back from those things.
I just need time away.
So what, you're just leaving? You're just
going to leave? Where are you going to go?
I don't know. I'll figure it out.
- It's my dad's party on Saturday.
- I got your stuff. It's in the fridge.
- Are you going to come to the party?
- I don't know.
Well, who's going to grill
the steaks if you don't come?
Are you f***ing kidding me?
Did you just hear yourself?
Who's going to grill the f***ing steaks?
Well, what are you going to say to Dakota?
What are you doing up?
Look at those stars.
- Where does your dad keep your lunch box?
- Mom, I don't use a lunch box anymore.
- This coffee tastes like crap.
- That's 'cause I made it.
Well, George makes the best coffee.
Where's he?
- His mom is sick.
- What's wrong with his mom?
No, he has an art show.
Oh, he has an art show.
Of course. Of course he has an art show.
Where is the art show?
Santa Fe.
Santa Fe. Okay. Okay.
Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, your pills?
Okay, so it's Wednesday.
Wednesday you have veratrol.
Wednesday... pink or blue.
Which one? Figure it out later.
- How am I going to get to school?
We gotta go, we gotta go, come on.
Hey, Dad?
- You're picking up D after school, okay?
- Well, I got that audition.
I'll get you right after, kid.
Hey, Maureen.
- Vanessa told me you were running late.
- Yeah, I had a family emergency.
I can't be there.
I have a fundraising breakfast.
It's going to be five minutes, ten tops,
and Josh can start for me. He knows the case.
Josh is not a lawyer.
I'm going to be there, I'm just...
I'm going to... I am just going to be there.
- I'm counting on you, Alex.
- Okay. All good.
Okay, so grandpa's going to pick you up.
- You know I love you, right?
- Yep.
Okay. We're good.
We are good, we are good, we are good.
Obviously we were stunned
to receive the petition.
The city sold that land
to my client fair and square.
With the promise of minimal impact
to the air quality
- and wildlife of a nature preserve.
- Mr. Williams...
California's already lost
98% of its wetlands.
This tadpole exists
in the 2% that is left.
All we're asking is that Mr. Evans
cease and des...
cease and desist construction on his...
- F*** it, you do it. I...
- Thank you.
I am so, so, sorry.
I'm so sorry, Your Honor.
Your Honor, when the district
sold my client that land,
they understood the financial
rewards of the project.
It'll bring millions of dollars to a city
that's basically bankrupt. That means jobs.
Your Honor, and again,
but when the city agreed to sell
Mr. Evans the land for a resort,
he agreed to meet
certain environmental standards,
and as you can see from exhibit A,
he's already in violation of those standards.
I have yet to see a chain
of custody report.
When you destroy a species you pave
the way for the destruction of the next.
It's a domino effect.
And all of these creatures have
valuable roles in our ecosystem.
They regulate our air, our water,
our weather patterns...
I'll hear your case on June 25th.
Your Honor, that's not enough time
for us to build a fair case.
Just take it and say thank you.
