Olivia: Ice cream? Emma, come on. Isn't there going to be ice cream at the sleep over tonight. It's a birthday party. Oh, you melt me. Okay. One little cone, one little ice cream and I'll share it with you because I'm hungry. Come on.

Reva: Jeffrey. You scared me. Don't you know better than to sneak up on people?

Jeffrey: You're following Olivia. You want to tell me why?

Billy: Hey, are you okay?

Lizzie: Yeah, they're just receipts. I have a calculator.

Billy: You want some help.

Lizzie: You know, I might not have M.B.A. from Harvard, but I do know how to add up receipts. I used to help Jonathan run Outskirts.

Billy: Is this one of those bad days you were talking about?

Lizzie: On the way over here, I saw this beautiful little baby. She looked just like Sarah. Actually, maybe she didn't look like Sarah because Sarah would be nine months old and so I have no idea what she would look like. You think I'm going to do this forever?

Billy: Maybe.

Lizzie: No one even talks about her anymore, you know? My mom, nana. Granddad was completely obsessed with her. It's like she doesn't even exist.

Billy: Does that really surprise you?

Lizzie: He doesn't even acknowledge me. I mean, he's got a new grandchild to fawn all over, so why would he?

Billy: Is that Gus' boy?

Lizzie: Yeah. He's a boy.

Billy: Hey. I think I'm going to postpone my meeting for a little while. Is that okay with you?

Robert: Good evening, Mr. Spaulding.

Alan: Robert, I want a table for three by the window.

Robert: Yes, sir.

Alan: Raphael, I want you to notice two things. First of all, I called him by his first name. They love it when you learn their names.

Natalia: They?

Alan: Yes, the staff. It makes them feel important when you know who they are.

Natalia: Or some might just consider that good manners.

Alan: And then I didn't ask him for a table, I told him what I wanted it. Demand. Always demand what you want.

Natalia: You know, or you could put your name in and wait just like everyone else. I'm going to go look for the manager because, you know, maybe a waitress quit.

Alan: Your mother is persistent, isn't she.

Rafe: Yeah, well, she has to be. There was never anybody else.

Alan: It must have been difficult, son.

Rafe: She always found the way for us to get by.

Alan: I hope you know that Gus would never have left your mother if he knew that she were pregnant with you. He would have been there for both of you.

Rafe: Maybe that can still happen.

Gus: Harley? Are you home? Oh.

Daisy: Yeah, mom's not here. I'm just here to get some stuff before I go back to Buzz's.

Gus: Okay. Well, I know that you know where your mother is, so... I mean, she'd never leave town without telling you how to get in touch with her, so I really could use your help here.

Daisy: Why? Why should I tell you? You broke her heart. You don't deserve to find her.

Gus: What did your mother tell you?

Daisy: She didn't tell me anything. She didn't have to, I just saw her. Look, all I know is you were gone and she was a mess. I've never seen her like that. She was crying, so sad.

Gus: Okay. Looking out for your ma, that's good. That's good, but you don't know the whole story, so.

Daisy: Okay, so tell me. What did you do? What did she do?

Gus: I can't get into it with you.

Daisy: Well, it must be pretty bad. She wouldn't even let grandpa and Uncle Frank in just to talk to her. She locked them out.

Gus: I hate to see her sad and alone like that.

Daisy: She's not alone. She's with Dylan. (Ring of cell phone)

Gus: Yeah, hello. It's Aitoro.

Tobias: Detective. This is Jay Tobias.

Gus: What's up, Tobias? This is not a very good time.

Tobias: Well, I thought you should know something.

Gus: About?

Tobias: About Detective Cooper's kid and your kid. They got busted for shoplifting the other day on Main Street.

Gus: What? Why didn't anybody tell me.

Tobias: Your dad stepped in and fixed things.

Gus: Of course he did. Thank you for letting me know. So you and Rafe were a little busy shoplifting yesterday and then you called Alan to bail you out?

Daisy: What, you really think I'm your biggest problem right now?

Natalia: Thank you. I'll check it out.

Alan: Raphael, before your mother returns, I want to ask you something. Are you in favor of your mother and father reuniting, huh?

Rafe: Maybe. I mean, if that's what my mom wants then...

Alan: Well, she deserves to be happy, doesn't she?

Rafe: Yeah.

Natalia: No luck here, but the manager gave me a great lead about a little Italian place that's not far from our old apartment.

Alan: In that neighborhood?

Natalia: You know, I'm sorry, but I changed my mind about dinner. This place is a little too rich for my blood, so how about we go home and I can make you something?

Alan: Raphael, I need a word with your mother. Why don't you go see some of your friends and I'll have a limo sent after you later?

Rafe: Okay.

Natalia: Rafe doesn't need a limo to pick him up, he can take the bus.

Alan: I don't think buses come to my neighborhood.

Natalia: Oh, no? There's not one of your maids that takes the bus? You have no idea, do you?

Alan: No, I don’t. And I have no idea why you keep rejecting my hospitality.

Natalia: Because it is not realistic. All this with the fancy dinners and limos. This is not our life.

Alan: Raphael is a Spaulding. It's his life now.

Natalia: For now.

Alan: Forever.

Natalia: Gus may have lost his marriage because of me. You know, he may not even want us to live in this town anymore, so I'm not going to start acting like this is my life because I could be back in Chicago tomorrow in a crummy little apartment working double shifts and taking the bus.

Billy: I think you added those already.

Lizzie: I'm just double checking.

Billy: You know, it's okay to be upset about the fact that your grandfather spent all his time with his new family.

Lizzie: I should be happy about it. He's been obsessed with my life for long enough. Rafe is welcome to him.

Billy: Still...

Lizzie: Hey. We had a deal. We work together, you're not my therapist.

Billy: Got it.

Lizzie: I'm not your alcohol counselor, either. Do you need a drink.

Billy: No, actually. I've got a meeting to go to.

Lizzie: Really?

Billy: Yeah.

Lizzie: Is it important?

Billy: Oh. Lesson number one. They all are.

Lizzie: Oh God, how are you getting there.

Billy: I've got a car picking me up around the corner.

Lizzie: Okay, so you've worked out all the angles, huh?

Billy: Darling, this is not my first rodeo.

Lizzie: Okay, wait. Wait, wait.

Billy: Thanks.

Lizzie: That's much better. Okay, next meeting, bringing me.

Billy: You got it.

Reva: There.

Jeffrey: A dry cleaning ticket. Yeah, so?

Reva: Yes, exactly. That's why I'm here, to pick up my clothes. I'm not following Olivia.

Jeffrey: Then what are you doing watching her?

Reva: She's really good with her...

Jeffrey: It's her daughter.

Reva: Yeah, I know. I mean, she's a good mother to Emma.

Jeffrey: You sound surprised.

Reva: It is Olivia.

Jeffrey: Well, you know what? No matter what people think about her, she does love that little girl. Now, why are you following her? Is it because of me?

Reva: Wow, that’s some ego you've got there.

Jeffrey: Well, you keep coming to me and telling me that you need to get away from me, but you keep coming back again, so did Olivia say something to you? Did she intimidate you or something?

Reva: Nobody intimidates Reva Shayne.

Jeffrey: You won't get an argument from me there. I got to get to this meeting. Whatever this is, drop it before something bad happens.

Olivia: Can't stay away from him for five seconds, can you?

Reva: Where's Emma?

Olivia: She's with the sitter. Did I not make the consequences clear? Do you really want to push me on this?

Reva: Yes, I do.

Alan: You're home, son.

Gus: Is Rafe with you?

Alan: No, he isn’t.

Gus: Good, because I don't want him to hear this.

Natalia: What's wrong with you? You look so tired.

Gus: I have to talk to my father so you might want to take cover.

Natalia: Is this about Rafe?

Gus: Did you know that our son was caught shoplifting yesterday?

Natalia: What?

Gus: Yeah, that's what I figured. You didn't know, but he knew.

Alan: He called me. Was I to ignore him and let him be carted away?

Gus: Why don't you just stay out of it and let us be his parents. We're his parents.

Alan: Yeah, but he didn't call his parents, he called me.

Natalia: Okay, was he charged? Does he have to go back to juvie?

Alan: No, Natalia. I handled everything.

Natalia: What does that mean?

Gus: It means that he went down to the shop and paid off whoever he had to pay off to make it all disappear. You see, this is the kind of thing I didn't want my son learning, okay? I didn't want him to think that money was the answer to everything.

Natalia: I cannot believe that Rafe would steal something. He knows how much trouble he can get into.

Alan: You don't have to believe that. He didn't shoplift. It was Harley’s daughter.

Natalia: It was Daisy?

Alan: Yes. She was caught shoplifting and Raphael did the honorable thing by standing by her, but it was a big mistake. I told you that girl was trouble.

Daisy: How did you get away?

Rafe: I didn't have to. Alan told me to go hang out with my friends and I don't have any other friends.

Daisy: Well, I'm glad you came.

Rafe: Are you okay?

Daisy: Not really. I just came here to get some stuff to bring back to Buzz's, you know? And then Gus came in and he tried to get me to tell him where my mom is.

Rafe: Wait, Gus is back?

Daisy: Yeah. He can't find Harley.

Rafe: So did you tell him where Harley is.

Daisy: No, no. I honestly don't know.

Rafe: I'm sorry that you have to be in the middle of this.

Daisy: Mm-hmm. This helps. You know, I don't have to be back at Buzz's for awhile. Can you hang out?

Rafe: I can’t. Ever since the whole shoplifting thing, Alan’s kind of made it obvious that he's not cool with me seeing you.

Daisy: Aren't you so sick of everyone telling us what to do?

Robert: Can I get you something from the bar?

Billy: Yeah, let me have a... club soda with lemon.

Jeffrey: Hey. Thanks for taking the meeting.

Billy: I wasn't aware I was meeting with you.

Jeffrey: Yeah, well, the owners of the building decided they wanted me to represent them and handle the negotiation. There you go. This should be painless. The price is right there at the top.

Billy: Yeah, it's too high.

Jeffrey: Well, I thought the price had been discussed.

Billy: Well, I was planning on negotiating with them when they got here.

Jeffrey: I know that building, Billy. I mean, the price is a very fair asking price.

Billy: I don't see zoning permits here.

Jeffrey: Okay, I thought this was going to be a friendly negotiation. Why do you want to make it ugly?

Billy: I thought I was going to meet with the owners and I'm meeting with a lawyer. Besides, how do I know that it'll happen next time. Maybe you won't be able to focus on it and you'll get distracted by something else.

Jeffrey: Distracted? Okay, so this is about Reva.

Billy: Is it?

Jeffrey: I would expect something like this from Josh, Billy, but do I have to get the Oklahoma cavalry treatment from you, too?

Billy: Do you deserve it?

Reva: I know you want Jeffrey. Or at the very least you don't want me to have him. I also know you're a cold, calculating bitch.

Olivia: Cold, calculating bitch? Moi? See those are a couple of words that some people would use to describe you. You know the woman who's keeping a child away from its mother!

Reva: You know why we did that. Jonathan was protecting his child and I'm protecting mine. I don't think you'll say anything to Alan.

Olivia: Why wouldn't I?

Reva: Because, you're a mother and you know what it's like to want to keep your kids safe. I've seen you with Emma. I saw you at the hospital when you donated blood for Dylan. I saw you crying at Tammy’s funeral. Now call me naive or whatever, but I don't think you have it in you-- not even you-- to tell Alan about Jonathan and Sarah. You want to keep them safe from Alan, too, don't you?

Olivia: So you're going to keep seeing Jeffrey?

Reva: Yes. I'm standing here and I'm telling you that I'm not going to live under your thumb anymore. I'm going to keep seeing Jeffrey.

Olivia: Well, then you give me no choice.

Reva: No, I'm calling your bluff. I don't think you'll tell. Not even you.

Olivia: Lizzie. Come over here a sec.

Reva: What are you doing?

Olivia: I'm calling your bluff. Hey.

Lizzie: Hi. What's going on.

Olivia: Reva and I were having the most fascinating conversation. About you.

Lizzie: You were talking about me?

Olivia: Yes. You and motherhood in general.

Reva: Yeah, which is why it's a delicate subject for Lizzie. We should probably just keep...

Lizzie: I actually like it. I was just saying earlier that no one actually talks about Sarah.

Olivia: Yeah, you see. And I keep thinking about you because if I ever lost Emma, I don't know what I would do. It had to have been so difficult for you.

Lizzie: There aren't words.

Reva: Right. Which is why we should probably change the subject.

Olivia: She just said she likes to talk about Sarah.

Reva: I know... but dealing with the past is unhealthy on a regular basis.

Olivia: I'm so surprised at you. For a mother who's also lost a child, I would think that you would be a little more understanding.

Reva: I do understand.

Lizzie: Reva's been great. I don't know what I would do without her.

Reva: Lizzie...

Lizzie: I know that you're not my mother-in-law anymore, but I still think of you that way.

Olivia: It would be so horrible if something were to ruin that.

Lizzie: Why would that happen?

Reva: Alan. She's talking about your grandfather.

Olivia: We were just talking before you came over here about sacrifices, about how mothers would do most everything to protect their child. But we know this one woman that, I don't know, she could only think about herself.

Lizzie: Do I know her?

Olivia: I really don't want to say just yet.

Lizzie: What's she doing? Is she hurting her kids?

Olivia: She seems determined to.

Lizzie: Why? Why on earth would any mother hurt her own children.

Olivia: A fling. A cheap, meaningless fling. She's willing to destroy her own child and grandchild's life over a man.

Lizzie: That's awful.

Olivia: It is, isn't it? And the saddest part is, is this woman, she doesn't even realize that this cheap fling isn't going to last. I mean, she's willing to give up her kid for nothing.

Lizzie: You know, I loved Jonathan more that I thought was ever possible, but after I lost Sarah, it just really put everything into perspective.

Olivia: I know. And I'm sure you tried your best to be a good mother.

Lizzie: Yeah. I really did.

Olivia: And you could probably pick it right up again, you know? But then there is Alan, you know, your grandfather...

Reva: All right!

Olivia: ...And we all know what he's capable of.

Reva: All right. I'll do whatever I have to do.

Lizzie: What?

Reva: To help you. To help you deal with the past and get past Sarah and just help you...

Lizzie: Doing... actually, I'm actually doing a lot better. Okay, this has been weird. I've got to run.

Olivia: Bye, sweetie.

Reva: Bye. Are you satisfied?

Olivia: I owe you an apology.

Reva: You do?

Olivia: Yeah. Because I am a cold and calculating bitch. Now, I have one other little thing I'd like you to do for me. I want to go to Josh and Cassie’s wedding and I would like Jeffrey to take me. Make it happen.

Billy: There you go.

Jeffrey: Great. I'm very glad we could work this out. No one had to get shot or branded.

Billy: I'm always going to be protective of Reva.

Jeffrey: I know. And, Billy, you have nothing to worry about.

Billy: Well, you see, I'm not so sure about that. You dated Reva’s sister, Reva’s daughter, so how can you tell me that this is the real thing between you two.

Jeffrey: What Reva and I have... well, I don't know what we have, okay? We didn't plan it. I do know that I don't owe you an explanation. I'll send you your copy, okay?

Rafe: I just wish my mom was cool with us. She still thinks we're just friends.

Daisy: Think you can change her mind?

Rafe: No because she's too afraid we're going to do something stupid.

Daisy: Like shoplift?

Rafe: Which is not going to happen again, right?

Daisy: Right.

Rafe: Seriously. Look, Daisy, we can't do that, okay? We have records and... no.

Daisy: Yeah, yeah, okay. No more shoplifting, fine.

Rafe: Even for me.

Daisy: Even for you, I promise.

Rafe: You see, we're cool, okay? I got us out of the shoplifting thing and my mom didn't even have to know.

Daisy: So what are you saying?

Rafe: I'm saying that my mother worries a lot, okay. And if she doesn't know about us then she doesn't have to worry.

Alan: I haven't seen you take one of those in a while.

Gus: That's because my stomach is upset and I'm hungry at the same time.

Alan: Did Gus tell you that he had an ulcer?

Natalia: No. Since when?

Alan: It gets upset when he gets under a lot of stress and pressure.

Natalia: All right. Let me just fix you something to eat.

Gus: I can't eat anything. I'm fine.

Alan: Last time it happened, he was hospitalized.

Gus: I’m fine.

Alan: There's one common thread in all of this. Harley Cooper. Whenever she's upset, whenever she's sent to jail, or whenever they have a fight, he gets upset.

Gus: I'm not upset.

Alan: She is the center of attention in their relationship. She comes first, then her daughter comes first. What she has to do right now is pick up the phone and call him and tell her where she is, but no, she would rather him be running around looking for her. She doesn't care at all about his feelings or his needs.

Natalia: Alan, just please stop.

Gus: At this point, I just want to talk to Rafe.

Natalia: He's not home yet.

Gus: Where is he? Where'd you leave him?

Alan: It's summer. He's out seeing some of his friends.

Gus: He doesn't have any friends. He doesn't know anybody around here.

Natalia: Except Daisy. She's with Buzz, right?

Gus: No, I just saw her at the house.

Alan: Oh, so Raphael is with her at the house unchaperoned. I wonder what they're doing to pass the time?

Gus: I'm going to go to the house.

Natalia: No, no, no. I'm going to come with you.

Alan: Oh, I wouldn't worry about her. She's a very responsible young lady. I'm sure she shoplifted some condoms.

Rafe: Is that a car?

Daisy: No, it can't be. My mom said she wasn't going to be back for a while.

Rafe: Okay. What about Buzz?

Daisy: No, he's working at Company. Oh, maybe it’s... caught us. Busted. Playing video games.

Gus: No, that's not it. You're supposed to be down at Company helping Buzz out. I thought...

Natalia: And you. You told Alan you were going to be with friends.

Rafe: I am with a friend. You said that was okay, right?

Natalia: It depends on what you're doing with her. And why didn't you tell me about the shoplifting?

Daisy: Because he didn't shoplift.

Rafe: Ma, Daisy's just trying to...

Daisy: No, no, no. It was me. It was me. He could have run off, but he didn’t. He stayed. He helped me.

Gus: All right, you know something? I'm going to let your mother deal with the lion's share of this, but you said you were going to go down to Company and help Buzz, so that's where you're going and I'm going to make sure that you're there because I'm going to be calling down there. You understand?

Daisy: Bye, Rafe.

Rafe: Is this where I get yelled at for being a good friend?

Gus: You know, I can deal with you being friends with her. I can also deal with a little shoplifting every now and then, but what I can't stomach the idea of is you becoming like your grandfather.

Rafe: Look, if I didn't call him, we'd be in jail, okay?

Gus: How about this for a solution. How about you don't shoplift. And if you ever do get in a little trouble, you reach out to me. You call me. You don't call Alan. What is this? Where'd you get this.

Rafe: Look...

Gus: You stole this?

Rafe: No.

Gus: Daisy stole this.

Rafe: No. Alan got this for me.

Gus: You see, this is what I don't want to happen, him being rewarded for this kind of behavior. Take it off.

Rafe: No.

Gus: Take it off.

Rafe: No!

Natalia: You heard your father. Take it off!

Rafe: Ma... here. Excuse me.

Natalia: All right, let's just go back to the house.

Gus: I'll call you later, okay.

Natalia: No, no, no, let's go back to the house. We're going to eat dinner. All three of us are going to eat dinner.

Gus: I can't eat anything. My stomach is in knots.

Natalia: You have to eat and not Chinese take out. Let's go.

Olivia: Hi.

Jeffrey: Hi.

Olivia: I know you don't trust me, but, you know, we live in the same building and we're bound to run into each other. Can we just try and be civil?

Jeffrey: Of course. So, nice weather we're having.

Olivia: It is. It's been pleasant. Cassie and Josh have set a wedding date. November.

Jeffrey: Yeah. Thanksgiving. I think that's appropriate.

Olivia: You going?

Jeffrey: Maybe. Okay, well, nice talking to you.

Olivia: Wait. Okay, you might hate me for the rest of your life, but you have to hear what I have to say to you. Listen, a few months ago was supposed to be my wedding day and I had this guy that any woman would love to have. He loved me, flaws and all. You know, he made me feel special and safe and...

Jeffrey: Sounds like you should have married the guy.

Olivia: No. Because as wonderful as he was, I never stopped feeling nervous and I never stopped feeling unworthy and I just was always so terrified that something would come along to ruin it.

Jeffrey: I didn't ruin your wedding.

Olivia: No, at the end of the day, I did. But for awhile I thought that had to be my fate. You know, that I always had to be nervous and that I would live in fear wondering when I'm going to screw the next one up.

Jeffrey: Look, if this is about the past, I don't know what to say.

Olivia: It's not about the past. That's what I'm trying to tell you. It's about... now.

Jeffrey: Okay.

Olivia: I'm not nervous to be around you, anymore. I'm not scared and it's made me realize that maybe being with someone safe isn't what's right for me. Honestly, going after you has made me feel strong and confident. I feel alive. Jeffrey, you make me feel alive.

Reva: Really? Is that true? I had no idea. Well, thank you very much. I will remember that the next time. You've been very helpful.

Lizzie: Hey, partner.

Billy: Hey, sweetie. What are you doing here?

Lizzie: Well, I had some free time. Thought I'd check up on you.

Billy: Check? You want to check this?

Lizzie: No, not that. The meeting. Is it over?

Billy: Yeah. Why don't you have a seat?

Lizzie: Okay.

Billy: You sure you don't want a hit, take a...

Lizzie: Billy, I believe you.

Billy: Okay.

Lizzie: And even if I didn't, it doesn't matter. I'm not going to be your conscience.

Billy: Alright.

Lizzie: I told you that, I mean it. I'm hear to learn business. Tell me about the meeting.

Billy: Well, it wasn't my finest hour.

Lizzie: What happened?

Billy: I let personal feelings get in the way of business.

Lizzie: That's the Spaulding way.

Billy: That's not the right way. And it's my job to teach you the right way. Now, I've just ordered myself a 72 ounce steak. Why don't you order something and we'll...

Lizzie: 72 ounces? I think I'll help you pick at that, yeah. (Laughs)

Billy: (Laughs)

Alan: Elizabeth.

Lizzie: Hello, Granddad. You know Billy Lewis, don't you?

Billy: I just invited Lizzie to have some steak with me, but she prefers to pick at mine.

Alan: Why?

Lizzie/Billy: We like steak. (Laughing)

Alan: Why are you sitting down with, him?

Lizzie: I wasn't kidding, Granddad.

Alan: Kidding about what?

Lizzie: When I came to you and told you I wanted to be a part of the family business, that I wanted you to train me. I was serious.

Alan: Elizabeth, not everyone is cut out for the business world. Now, just because I turned you down doesn't mean that you should take it personally.

Lizzie: Oh, okay. Let's see. "You don't belong in the family business." I don't know, that sounds personal to me. What do you think?

Billy: It does. Yeah.

Alan: It doesn't matter what that hillbilly thinks.

Billy: Oh, no actually, it does.

Lizzie: Yeah, see, after you rejected me I felt a little lost. I mean, I didn't have Sarah, I was not wanted in the family business. What else was I supposed to do?

Billy: Yeah. You know, every once in awhile when you lose everything, I mean, sometimes an opportunity presents itself right there where you saw nothing.

Alan: Let me guess where the opportunity came from? Tell me, how much did he sucker you out to invest?

Lizzie: Not one single dime. He agreed to be my mentor.

Billy: Hey, she's real sharp. I'm surprised you didn't snap her up. So, we have a little business to discuss here.

Alan: Elizabeth, you...

Lizzie: Okay. Granddad? Bye, bye. Don't you have a new family that you should be hanging out with right now? Okay. Bye-bye.

Olivia: Well, can you admit it? You know, that maybe you feel the way that I do. That when we're together, we both feel alive.

Jeffrey: You know what you're feeling? What you're feeling is competition. Okay, battling it out with Reva is what's making you feel alive.

Olivia: Okay, well if that's true, it's because we're fighting for you.

Jeffrey: Well, don't, okay? Don’t. I already told her, okay? Now I'm telling you. Please don't fight, especially not over me. I'm a big boy, I can make my own choice.

Olivia: I hope you do.

Jeffrey: If this does go to war with you and Reva, Olivia, something bad is going to happen.

Olivia: I'm not afraid of Reva.

Reva: Here we go. I told you that wasn't going to take long. Are you hungry? I can make you a sandwich. You like peanut butter and jelly? Me too, Emma. I am so happy that I was able to pick you up today. We're going to have so much fun together and I can't wait to call your mommy.

Daisy: Hey, Harley. I'm glad you called. No, it's true. I actually kind of miss you. How's dad doing? Oh, that's good. Well, tell him I say hello. So, I saw Gus in the house today. Yeah, he asked where you were. I yelled at him pretty good for hurting you. Yeah, yeah, well, he said he missed you and I believe him. Well, you know, he looked miserable. I mean, it's obvious he loves you. Even I can see that, you know? No, no, I'm not saying you have to forgive him. I don't even know what he did to you. Yeah. Well, I mean, I know you still love him, so isn't it worth at least talking to him?

Gus: Hold on a second.

Rafe: What are you going to do with that watch?

Gus: I don't know yet.

Rafe: You don't know, but just as long as I don't have it, right?

Gus: That's right. That's exactly right.

Rafe: Look, just so you know, I didn't like it because it was expensive. I liked it because it was a gift from my grandfather which I'd never had before.

Natalia: He's just going to go to his room. It's okay. Just let him go. I'm going to go to the kitchen and make you something to eat.

Gus: Not for me. I'm fine, all right? I just want you to know something. I'm a really good dad to Harley’s kids.

Natalia: I know.

Gus: No, I mean, I don't want to sound like I'm tooting my own horn, but I'm good at it, you know? Zach is around. He's with us every single day. Jude is with us most of the time. It's a day in, day out thing and, you know, I think I'm pretty good at it.

Natalia: I know. I believe you.

Gus: I don't know. With him it’s... it's just teenagers are... they're just, they're just different.

Natalia: Yes, I know. But you're doing a great job with him.

Gus: Some days I think I am, but he's just so stubborn. He gets so angry so easily, you know?

Natalia: Yeah, like you didn't?

Gus: Well, no. I don't think I did like that.

Natalia: When you were his age? Really?

Gus: I don't think so.

Natalia: Because I can think of a few examples.

Gus: All right, all right. Thank you.

Natalia: For what? For reminding you how immature we were.

Gus: No, for making a bad day not so bad.
