- Mr. hart, everyone's still

waiting for you

in the conference room,

when you get around to it.

- Coming.

Uh-oh.

- You smell like perfume.

- Go back to sleep.

- I wasn't asleep. Can we talk?

- Sure. W-what do you

want to talk about?

Is that my belt?

- I wanted to go

to that painting retreat.

- Oh, god!

This is not a good time.

- It's never a good time.

- I told you there is no way

that you can go

to a retreat right now.

Who would take care of the kids?

It's two weeks.

- Painting is what

I've always wanted to do

and I'm scared

that if I don't do it...

- Jill, come on.

We need you here.

- Is everything okay at work?

I saw something on the news.

- Yeah, it's-it's fine.

We just...

Don't believe everything

that you hear.

Mom.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom...

- I had an accident

in Tiffany's bed.

- What are you looking at?

- I thought I saw

that dog again.

- So, Max, you're done

with soccer at 3:00.

I have to pick up Cindy

from ballet at 3:30

so, please make sure you're

on the corner right on time.

Not at your locker, not at...

Dad's here for breakfast.

- Time to go.

- It's only 7:
40.

- Let's go now.

- Good mornin'!

- Bye, dad.

- Bye, tiff. Love you.

- Love you, Cind.

- Love you too, daddy.

- Have a good day.

- Bye, dad.

- Bye.

- I love you.

- Alright.

- Have a good day at work.

- You know it!

- Are you gonna be home

for dinner?

- I will do my best.

- I'm so tired, bill.

You don't understand how

difficult it is

to keep it together.

- Okay, okay, stop.

- I don't know if I can

keep it together.

- Hey, good night's sleep.

Okay?

Will you let me

get you some pills.

You just need some sleep,

alright.

You haven't had a good night's

sleep in a while.

Well, let you let me

get you some pills

that will help you

sleep at night finally?

- I'm terrified

I'm gonna do something.

- Mom, can we go in this century,

please?

Guys, guys, come on.

Don't worry about my mom.

- I love you.

Hello.

- I need to talk to you.

- Hmm.

- Stop, I'm serious.

- What?

- They fired me.

My whole floor.

- What? When?

- Are you just getting here?

Did you not hear?

- I was running late.

- It's a massacre.

You have to go and do something.

- This is unacceptable.

I'll take care of it.

Don't worry.

- Exactly. Mm-hm. Yes.

- Uh, Steven...

- Sorry. I, I-i can't.

This is important.

- Hey. Um...

I like your tie.

- Did you fire Annabelle?

- Who the f*** is Annabelle?

- Oh, she's, um, uh...

Sits on the second floor.

Uh, s-she's-she's

a really good kid

and she's not that expensive.

- I really don't think

that you understand

the grave circumstances

that we're in right here,

right now.

Alright?

Yes, I fired Annabelle

and I fired 179 other

employees this morning.

- Okay, well, I-I'm not talking

a 179 other people.

I'm just talking about Annabelle. Well, if

you'd like to tender your resignation, bill

then you know what?

I could restore the employment

of the entire second floor.

All you have to do is sign

right here on the dotted line.

Go ahead.

Sign it.

- Is it really that bad?

- It's really that bad.

- Um...

- Sign it.

- No, that's like... That's okay.

- Sign it.

- Um, it's...

- Sign it.

- It's probably... that's...

You probably made

the right decision.

- Just sign it.

- Honey...

We thought you'd be home.

I postponed dinner

as long as I could.

You never give me a choice.

There's a dog watching me.

Dog's always in the same spot.

Been here a while.

I feel like, I can't breathe.

- We've been finished forever.

May I please be excused?

If you're not gonna answer,

I'm just gonna go.

- Wha... mom!

What about chores?

Am I supposed to

load the dishwasher?

It's Max's turn.

- Mama, may I be excused?

- She's not gonna answer.

Just go.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

Are, are you upset because dad

didn't come home

for dinner again?

Mom?

Mom?

It's called toast.

You have two legs.

Is there any more cereal?

- What happened?

- We don't know.

- Who is that dog?

- I told you.

- Not that dog again.

There's no dog.

- Where's mom?

Dad, wake up!

- Dad!

- What?

- Daddy, get up.

Mom's gone.

- What? What do you mean,

"mom's gone?"

- Uh, I-i think she left you,

and us, it's over.

- What? Why would you say that?

- You have to drive us

to school.

- No, I got to go to work.

W-what do you mean mom left?

Where is she?

- She's not here.

Now get up!

- Jill? She's not here.

- Dad, get up. We're late.

- Dad, we're late. We're late.

- No.

- Dad!

- Dad!

- Jill, honey, where are you?

Call me.

We're all very worried

about you. Please call me.

- Dad, you got our jackets wrong.

Leave them alone.

I don't have any underwear

or socks on.

- Please, guys, I just need

a minute of silence!

I-I don't know

how to use this car, okay?

How do you turn it on?

Is there a...

Oh, that's the key

and you turn it.

Okay. Right, let's do this.

- Dad, we need money for lunch.

- Great. Money.

Uh, is this enough?

Wait, wait, hold on, hold on!

What about these two?

- They don't go

to middle school, dad.

I'm in kindergarten.

- Middle school.

Of course not. Right.

- Did-did you get Cindy

her lunch?

- Well, I've got more cash.

- No, no, y-you can't buy lunch

in kindergarten.

- Got it. Okay.

Dad's on the case.

- "B" is for "be nice."

C is for...

Did you see mom last night?

- I-i don't know, Cind.

I-i didn't see her last night.

No, because I got in late.

Okay?

It's okay. It's okay. No, no,

no, no. You're gonna be fine.

- Cindy, hi!

Look at this outfit.

This is so cute!

You must be, uh, Cindy's dad.

- Yeah, listen,

got a little situation.

She has no lunch.

- Oh, that's okay, honey.

- Uh, and that's it. Okay?

- Yeah, uh, there's actually

a grocery store

right down the street,

if you just want to pick...

- yeah, I ca... I can't.

I can't do that.

Uh, can't you just bring her

to the lunchroom or somethin'?

- I'm sorry but

all the kids here brown bag it.

- Jesus Christ, $25,000 a year,

you can't give her an apple?

- Okay. I can hear

that you're frustrated.

Is-is everything okay?

Where's Jill?

- Listen, this is very simple.

Can't you just whip her up

somethin' real fast?

- Excuse me?

- Or-or-or order a pizza?

Or make a-all the other kids

share their lunches?

I-I-i have to go to work.

This is very simple.

You can do whatever you want.

She has no lunch.

She has no lunch.

- Dad?

Hug?

- Alright, I'm sure mom's

gonna be home when you get back.

Hey, listen, Cindy,

I have to go. I have to go now.

- Cindy, I have to go.

- No!

- No!

- Okay. It's okay.

- Yeah, no,

I know that I'm late.

I, uh, I'm having

a family crisis

and I had to drop

my kids off at school.

Uh, I know. I know.

Uh, oh, I think Jill

may have left me.

No, I'm fine.

What? Sorry. Uh, n-no,

y-you just cut up for a second.

Listen, um,

just buy me some time.

I will be there in 20 minutes.

Uh, 30, Max. Uh, maybe 40.

I-I-don't know where I am.

Oh, can you figure out a way
