Oh, about once a month.
I like to stay in touch
with all my former students.

Thank you for
a very nice meal,
may I please be excused?
Thanks for asking so nicely,
Levi, yes of course.
Come on, Cy, let's go.
Hey hey hey, sweetie,

Are you sure?
Okay, can you take

No really, I'm full.
Yeah, me too.
Let's split it.
Done.
So, who's that for?
Jacob... eventually.
A hat?
Where are they sleeping,
again?
I made up the office
for them.
Poppy's little book room?
Is that a problem?
I don't know, is that okay
with you, Poppy?
Deborah thought it'd be best.
Hm... I guess it is.
I don't know, doesn't it seem
to you like it's a little...
cramped?
No.
- No?
You don't think?
- No.
You don't think?
- No, I don't.
I just thought that
if it were me,
and I were coming home for
the first time in 15 years
I would want...
You know what, Linds?
I'm doing the best I can,
okay?
Yeah, I know.

What's wrong?
Uh, yeah, I'm nervous.
Nina's crazy.
You okay?
Yeah?
About us?
Yeah, I'm better.
Nina?
Oh... oh, hi.
Hi CB.
I- I'm sorry, I thought
you were somebody else.
Yes, I'll hold for the
Secretary.
Good morning, Mr. Secretary.
Yes, I saw the Kurds
were acting up again.
You know Nina
hates your mom, right?
So? You hate my mom.
That's not true.
Yes it's true.
No, it's not, honestly,
I love Deborah.
I do... it's just...

And he slept with like,
I know, it's pretty pimp,

Oh god, can we walk? Sorry.
Hey Mom.
How was the run?
It was good.

What?
Why were you looking
at my phone again?
Oh, I didn't mean to.
I was just...
It was- it was
just sitting there...
How do you know
my password?
Well you haven't changed it
since you were 14,
and I used to have to
remind you what it was.
Why did you type in
my password?
Jakey...
If there is anything
you want to tell me,
please, honey, seriously,
I love you, it's fine...
Because, you know, you're not
the one who has to pay.
Yeah, I know, Mom.
- Oh, God.
Good run?
Jacob whooped me.
You did fine.
Oh, God, for an old lady.
Has anyone seen Poppy?
I think he's in
the book room, why?
No reason.
Have you talked
Alright, here, alright.

Got a soldier down.
Got it? OVer here,

It's okay. Wanna sit up?

Ah. Alright.

It's just a little booboo.

How was yoga, Linds?
It was fine.
Ice cream, come on.
Can we eat?
Ask Poppy.
Well, what time is it?
They'll be here, Lindsay.
Did she call?
- She never calls.
She didn't call!
- Lindsay!
They'll be here.
- Okay.
Levi, did you say sorry?
No.
Jim, do we have her number?
Yes, of course.
And did we call her?
Cypress, you want me to read
you a story? A book?
Cypress, do you wanna play
Texas Hold'em?
Why don't we all play
Chinese Checkers?
Poppy doesn't like
Chinese Checkers.
Why not?
I f***ing rule
at Chinese Checkers.
You know what?
Do you want a time out?
Or do you want to have dinner
with your aunt Nina?
Nina!
No, she's not here yet.

Hmm!

Nina texted me.
I made that trip in two
and a half hours once.
Maybe they stopped
to go shopping.
Nina can't afford
to go shopping.
Lindsay, what is wrong
with you?
Okay, okay.
- Well, she can't, it's true.
Let's say they left Vegas
at 1 o'clock.
They should have been here
by 7 at the latest.
What time is it now?
It is now 9:
16.We have no way
for whatever reason.
Right.
It's just...
If we...
She might...
Just make a decision, Jim.
Okay, let's eat.
Thank you!
Let's do this.
Nina!

Nina's here!
That thing doesn't
actually work, Levi.
Shut up, nerd!
Nina!
Hey! Whoa!
Oh my God, you guys!
Glad to meet you.
Hey, nice to meet you, pal.
I need food.
- Levi.
...pleasure. I heard
about you.
Good to see you.
- Hi, honey.
I forgot how logical
your house was.
Thank you.
It's like a jewish girl's
version of subtle.
Hey, bro.

Okay, boys!
Oh my goodness, you boys!
So, Poppy, the Utley's are

That means hopefully

Actually, it means
"God willing".
No.
They're still over

Yep! Right down the street.
God! Elizabeth Utley
was, like, the most beautiful
woman in the world.
Still is.
So, uh...
Professor Turner, sir,
you, uh...
still teach at Stanford?
Uh... in name only,
at this point, Hank.
Yeah, Poppy got
kinda burned
in the whole Iraq deal.
That had nothing to do with it.
Sure it did.
Not every international
studies hotshot
left his department to go work
Army... not sewage system,

Yeah, most of them
just wrote op-eds.
That's why most of them
still have jobs...
that pay money.
