A Kid Like Jake Page #3

they're gonna meet Jake.

And it is always a good sign

when parents seem to really

know their kids

which, of course, you do.

- Right.

- But there's sort of a..

A big part of his personality

that you don't even mention.

Right?

Here's the second thing.

The numbers are ridiculous.

Especially when it

comes to which families

they're gonna help financially.

But what you have to remember is

everybody wants diversity.

Mm-hmm.

Let's be honest, Jake..

...he's, he's very special.

And believe me, this is the part

of my job I hate the most

this, this strategizing.

But I really think that

this is a card you could play.

That's all.

Not to mention, you want him

to be somewhere

he can thrive, right?

And the prince fell..

Standing on..

Look what I made.

I made a base for it.

All right. So it's all about

progression, right?

It's like you have to have

the right story.

So this is my pulled-together

you-don't-have-to-worry-

about-me

because-I'm-a-modern-

independent-working-woman picture.

- Right?

- Mm-hm, very slick.

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

And then this one,

which is loving-mommy..

Loving-mommy, yes-I-have-a-kid

and-if-that-freaks-you-out

well-too-bad-'cause-I'm-not-

gonna-apologize-about-it..

You're sort of pimping him out.

- Stop! No, I'm not!

- W -- wait.

Wait. Show him the message.

Sanjay, come on, baby.

It's that time.

We're not done yet.

Right, okay.

"Wowza, Amal.

You are truly an exotic beauty.

"And your English

is so impressive.

"Maybe we could go

for a ride sometime.

No magic carpet here,

but I do have a Prius."

- What is wrong with people?

- Right? I know.

And that's not even

the half of it.

Come on, baby, I'm not..

Where did they..

- Oh, what in the world? I'm so sorry.

- No, no, no.

- I got it. This is all Jake.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

- Let me take that.

Thank you. Okay, bye.

Sanjay, come on!

Mommy's had a long day.

- He can't, he can't leave.

- I have to do this first.

You really don't think

it's weird?

About Judy?

I don't know.

I mean, she was strategizing,

right?

Yeah, no.

The strategizing, I get.

But the way she was talking

it was just a little..

I don't know.

I mean, he does like to play

dress-up.

That's not news.

Not that I care, obviously

but he's not exactly

Johnny Basketball.

Johnny what?

You know.

That's not an expression.

I know it's not,

I'm just saying.

What's your day like tomorrow?

I have a break around noon.

I go into Legal Aid till 3:00,

then pick up Jake.

- You okay?

- Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Laurel! Laurel!

- Hi, Greg.

- Hey, listen, um..

I've been meaning to mention

and maybe

you've already noticed it

but the walls here
