- Yeah, no, he's out of town.
Anyway, Dad doesn't want us kids
being chauffeured around anyway.
- For the people?
- Okay, look, that's not funny.
I'm sorry, Jesus.
I'm just kidding.
I mean, everybody knows
God, you guys-
Come on, Beau, lighten up.
[chuckles]
Yo, that's pretty funny, huh?
Telling him to lighten up.
- Get it?
- You're an idiot.
That's what's most important.
[snickers]
Even if you can't handle your beer.
Beau:
That beer was bad.- It's a shithole.
- Everything sucks tonight.
but, you know,
So, how's Beau?
What do you mean?
How's he doing?
You know... Don't you mean
how are the kids?
[chuckles] No.
I mean, how's Beau?
And then, how's Val
and then how's Rick and...
That's okay. It's okay.
So, how is Beau, you know?
Same as always.
I, I think that he's starting
to open up with me
But, um,
I have hope so...
I mean, he's always been
Barbara's boy.
- [chuckles]
- Oh, he loves ya.
Claire:
ls Val still goingto that special school?
I couldn't leave the kids there
in that filthy orphanage.
God, his smile
just warmed my heart.
[scoffs] You should've seen
the looks we got in the airport.
YUP. YUP-
lt's okay, baby.
- Mommy.

- She's a good girl.
Ah, it's a book.
Two of the most common were...
- He's researching Gettysburg.
- shot-and-ball by Colt and Remington.
You should think about adopting, Claire.
You know, Michael's alone.
I don't... I don't think
I could ever love another child.
I mean, not with everything
we went through with Michael, no.
Mm-mm.
I don't want to love another child.
I wish I had your clarity.
- Does that make me a horrible person?
- No.
It adds a lot of pressure,
you know.
I can handle it.
Pressure on Michael.
Can't be healthy for him.
Hey, oh. Hey.
Hey, buddy, what is it?
Shh, it's okay. You're safe here, all right?
No one's gonna harm you.
Rick! Michael!
Get down here.
- What did you guys do to Beau?
- Nothing, Mom.
Paul:
How am I racist?You know, it's fascinating.
You do realize you're accusing a child
of playing the race card.
Exactly, it's just, it's...
I get it, but I don't have to like it.
- I'm not a racist.
- You don't know him.
Well, I'm not a racist.
At best, I'm--
Do you think we should have given
Michael a brother or sister?
Perfect-ish. Okay?
- And you can work on yourself.
- [laughs]
Who is the blind guy that said,
No, "wonderful," yeah.
- Oh, man, now I'm gonna be up all night.
- Google it.
- That's cheating.
- [chuckles]
It's got to be hard on Barb.
