Short filmTranscript
00:00This is straight up blackmail.
00:02It's really important to Melissa that we're all in a good place.
00:06I know a lot of deep pocket people who could help you get your car business off the ground.
00:10Connor was right about you. He said you made me a lot of money.
00:12Guys, right now, we gotta get this out of here.
00:16What have we done?
00:25I like to tell my customers that gardening isn't just about planting seeds.
00:30Nature is full of surprises.
00:34A flower isn't always just a flower.
00:40One sunflower is actually made up of thousands of tiny flowers held together on a single stalk.
00:49Dirt isn't just a layer of earth.
00:52It has more organisms in one teaspoon than there are people on the planet.
01:00And those plants in your garden aren't just sitting there quietly.
01:03What?
01:04They're busy talking to each other through an underground network of fungi and bacteria.
01:10Wait, slow down.
01:15So, anyone can garden.
01:17How can we help?
01:19This cannot be happening.
01:21It's way too early.
01:23The cup's in a month.
01:25But to keep one alive, you have to expect the unexpected.
01:35Medium low, everyone. Keep the air slow and steady.
01:37It's gonna be fine.
01:39What makes you so sure?
01:40Because I keep my weed in the freezer and that's how I know it's gonna be fine.
01:43Everyone, keep the air slow and steady.
01:45It's gonna be fine.
01:46What makes you so sure?
01:47Because I keep my weed in the freezer and that stays fresh.
01:50Not how it works.
01:51We're just looking for a little volume, people, not a stick straight blowout.
01:57How are the marigolds?
01:58They're on life support.
01:59That's where Marilyn's gonna be.
02:01Only if we tell her.
02:02Well, she's definitely gonna know.
02:04How?
02:05She's in Frankenmuth buying garden flair.
02:07That's how.
02:08Donna!
02:09Don't you dare.
02:10Donna, hang up the phone.
02:11End call.
02:12Donna, now!
02:13Hang up the phone!
02:14End call!
02:15Get off!
02:20Okay, now we just have to survive the fall.
02:23Mother nature's not winning this round.
02:25Not on my watch.
02:29Oh.
02:33Donna!
02:34Flip the switch!
02:36What doesn't kill this garden only makes it stronger, people!
02:40Come on!
02:42She might be more Marilyn than Marilyn.
03:36Hey.
03:39No heads up?
03:40I didn't want to add to the stress.
03:41Could have text it.
03:42You said it was triage.
03:43This is worse than a frost.
03:44Breathe.
03:46When?
03:47This morning.
03:48For how long?
03:49Wouldn't say.
03:50Oh, my God.
03:51Breathe.
03:52Mom!
03:53Mom!
03:54Mom!
03:55Mom!
03:56Mom!
03:57Mom!
03:58Mom!
03:59Mom!
04:00Mom!
04:01Mom!
04:02Mom!
04:03Mom!
04:04Mom!
04:07My baby girl.
04:17Again.
04:18More like that.
04:19Keep your chest up over that front knee.
04:23Where'd you find this guy?
04:25I know a picture for the Tigers.
04:27Push off that back leg.
04:28He used to have friends in high places.
04:30There you go.
04:31Actually, I dated him.
04:34Was he married, too?
04:36Yep, bring that leg up.
04:40I don't know what you mean.
04:43I saw you with Joel.
04:45Maybe you misunderstood.
04:47All over town.
04:48Okay, throw it.
04:49Don't pitch it.
04:50Quit aiming.
04:52Nice.
04:53It just happened.
04:57I stupidly trusted you cared about my son.
05:00I do.
05:01This is how you show it?
05:03By ripping apart his family?
05:10What do you want me to do?
05:13Choose.
05:16My husband or my son?
05:23Are you serious?
05:24Mom, being a real mom means making tough choices.
05:34What if I can't?
05:36I'll choose for you.
05:37If you tell him, he'll hate us both.
05:41Then he'll just have to decide which mom to hate more.
05:47That was amazing.
05:49His fastball's nearly 90.
05:51I wasn't even warm.
05:53Is that enough to make the team?
05:55Too early to tell.
05:56He is a little wild.
05:57Don't worry, we'll get him there.
05:59Keep working on that slider.
06:04Come on, let's get to work.
06:20Okay, that one's on me.
06:22No, your money's no good tonight.
06:25But we're celebrating you.
06:27If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to afford any of this.
06:29All right, but we're being honest.
06:31Who knows who ever bought that Camaro?
06:32Can you believe it?
06:34Hell yeah, I saw the picture.
06:35Pretty cool, right?
06:36Real pimp dog.
06:40So, if things keep going the way they're going,
06:43Steve thinks we should open a shop.
06:45What, you miss working the register at the garden place?
06:49You bet, one more.
06:50Come here.
06:53You know them?
06:54Yeah, they're from my firm.
06:55What's up, Danimal?
06:58I've been over this, Connor.
06:59It's just Daniel.
07:00You gotta loosen up, man.
07:02How'd you like it if I called you corn dog or something?
07:05Y'all grabbing some drinks?
07:07It's a bar, so...
07:10Sure, yeah.
07:12Hey, all right, I'll, uh...
07:14Yeah, I'll catch you in the trenches manana.
07:17Uh...
07:18They seem like dicks.
07:20Nah, they're good guys.
07:22Really?
07:23Yeah, you know, they're just a little threatened.
07:25I mean, uh...
07:26Nobody builds more hours than me and they know it.
07:29Gosh, plus Danimal can't stand that I went to Yale Law,
07:32he went with the pen.
07:34That garbage pile.
07:36Yeah, but hey, I mean, it's all in the fun, right?
07:38I mean, at the end of the day,
07:40we respect each other like brothers.
07:43Enjoy.
07:45Well...
07:48One thing's for sure, man.
07:50What's that?
07:52I got you all wrong.
07:54Cheers.
07:59Whoo!
08:01Yes, sir.
08:03Two more, sir.
08:17Black tie event in a couple of days.
08:20Fancy.
08:22I guess.
08:23Anyway, took me a while to get everything.
08:28You look tired.
08:29Maybe double-check.
08:31Make sure it's what you need.
08:35Well, I get about four hours a night myself.
08:37Well, you're a line of work.
08:40I'll leave the rest to me.
08:42Wait, wait.
08:46This is the only way, right?
08:48I mean, in your, uh...
08:50professional opinion.
08:54Guys like Connor
08:56deserve everything coming their way.
09:23Hi.
09:24I will have a skinny vanilla latte
09:27with 2% milk
09:28and one of those paintings on the wall.
09:33Which one?
09:35Um, how about that one?
09:36The Statue of Liberty thing.
09:39You mean Lady Justice on Fire?
09:41Yep, whatever.
09:45$2,004.53.
09:47Oh.
09:48I'll give you $2,100 for it.
09:54No.
09:55You can't afford this.
09:56$2,200.
09:57Do I hear $2,250?
09:58No, it's not an auction.
09:59$2,250.
10:01Cash or card?
10:02Oh, um, card.
10:06Hey.
10:07What?
10:08What are you doing?
10:10What, so you're gonna rack up credit card debt
10:12just to prove a point?
10:13Oh, it's better than being indebted to you.
10:17Eventually, you're gonna have to pay it down, though.
10:19I am paying it down.
10:20On a teacher's salary?
10:21Teacher, cheer coach, debate advisor,
10:23fall musical director.
10:25We're doing Into the Woods.
10:27Congratulations, Alice.
10:28You have somehow found a way
10:30to make your life more exhausting
10:32than having a baby.
10:34My uterus, my choice, Patty.
10:38So how is your writing going?
10:45I'm sorry.
10:46Who's actually buying the painting?
10:48I am.
10:51She'll pay for my latte, too.
10:55But don't ever come to me to bail you out again.
11:02Sorry.
11:04And, um, oat milk, cappuccino, please.
11:08$2,012.42.
11:19Uh-huh.
11:20What's all this?
11:22Breakfast.
11:26Ah, we're a family, not a platoon.
11:30A simple thank you would suffice.
11:33But the kids are fine with cereal.
11:35Well, you and Tucker have to eat, too.
11:36Tucker has a protein bar, and I do coffee.
11:38That is not enough to fuel your day.
11:41I've been skipping breakfast since the seventh grade.
11:43That's because we didn't know the effects back then.
11:46Like smoking.
11:51Where's the coffee, Mom?
11:53In the cupboard above the machine.
12:00Please stop moving everything around.
12:03It just makes more sense for the coffee.
12:05I like my things where I like them.
12:10Maybe if you ate breakfast, you wouldn't be so cranky.
12:16Why are you doing this to me?
12:18You've got a lot going on right now.
12:20I don't need your help.
12:21I just don't want your family to slip through the cracks.
12:24The kids can handle it.
12:26What about your marriage?
12:28What's that supposed to mean?
12:30You've already caused enough damage.
12:35Chocolate chip pancakes!
12:37Can I have whipped cream?
12:38Yes.
12:41Hey.
12:42I got those peanut butter protein bars you like.
12:44Is that anything?
12:46What do you like?
12:48Is that eggs beat, Diane?
12:49Yes.
12:50And there's hollandaise sauce on the stove.
12:52Oh, come on.
12:54It's eggs beat.
12:56Okay, well, just eat fast.
12:58Not too fast.
12:59You don't want to get a tummy ache.
13:00Well, I have a new listing to get to, so...
13:03Go ahead.
13:04Grammy will take him to school.
13:06Yay!
13:07Can you also come pick us up from school?
13:09Yes, my little angel.
13:11More whipped cream, please.
13:17Oh, hi.
13:19Hey.
13:21I just let myself in.
13:23Yeah, of course.
13:27Everything okay?
13:29I just didn't realize what time it was.
13:32At least for me.
13:34Yeah, sure.
13:37So, Ford was amazing in practice today.
13:41Scoop says he has, like, a killer slider.
13:43Amazing.
13:45Yeah, I can't believe I didn't make him stick with people.
13:48Totally.
13:52You're acting weird.
13:54What?
13:56I'm excited for Ford.
13:58Well, he'll be excited to see me, too.
14:01Are you distilling that vodka yourself?
14:06Oh.
14:09Hello, officer.
14:11Officer.
14:17Hi.
14:18What kind of trouble are you in now, darling?
14:23This is my friend, Joel.
14:28I'm sorry.
14:30Who are you?
14:32I suppose I'm also a friend.
14:34Right.
14:37Well, I suppose this is yours.
14:43For your service.
14:46Could you give us a second?
14:58What am I doing here?
15:01I thought you were coming later.
15:03I thought you were coming later.
15:05I mean, what is this?
15:08I don't know.
15:10It's what it's always been.
15:14Yeah, I'm gonna need more than that.
15:17It's fun, okay?
15:20You're fun.
15:25Who the hell is that?
15:28My ex-husband.
15:30Which one?
15:33Does it matter?
15:35Well, I'm just trying to figure out where I fit in here with your harem.
15:41You don't, okay?
15:44Because what?
15:46You slumming it with me?
15:50I didn't say that.
15:52Yeah.
15:54You didn't have to.
15:59I'm sorry.
16:04I knew you were all kinds of trouble.
16:18Well.
16:23That doesn't keep the squirrel from nesting.
16:26I don't know what will.
16:29He never would have accepted it any other way.
16:31Well, that was a performance worthy of the West End.
16:35Except no one wins in Olivier.
16:38Especially not you, dear.
16:42Oh, darling.
16:55She warmed up the kids' PJs in the dryer last night.
16:58Sounds like a good thing.
16:59Sure. It's the best.
17:01And now they expect it forever.
17:03Eventually, they'll grow up.
17:05Nope. Tucker loves it, too.
17:07Monica!
17:09Can we please put the domes in a straight line?
17:12Like I asked a thousand times? Oh, my God.
17:16Well, your mom sounds like a real control freak.
17:19This morning, I found my vibrator in the dishwasher.
17:22You have a vibrator?
17:24Well, this is like the first thing you've said all day.
17:27My drama's not as juicy as hers.
17:30I mostly use it for my neck, but every once in a while, you know.
17:34Guys, I can hear you.
17:36How long is she staying?
17:38Till she can fix whatever's wrong with my life?
17:41My advice?
17:43Get ahead of it before she takes your whole family down.
17:48Geez, what happened to you?
17:50Now, are you okay, sweetie?
17:52I'm just gonna redecorate my house until I don't feel anything anymore.
17:56Oh, do you need any art?
17:58No.
17:59Oh, come on. I just need a few more walls to store everything.
18:02Yeah, and by a few more walls, she means all of your guest bedrooms.
18:05Your entire garage.
18:06Doug is just too prolific.
18:08Because he thinks he's actually selling them.
18:10But technically, he is.
18:12At your expense.
18:14I will deal with my own life later.
18:17Yeah, that's what I told myself when I put Melissa through law school.
18:20No, it's not the same.
18:22Then what's in it for you?
18:24Never having to see the look on his face.
18:26If he found out.
18:33Gonna redo the entire interior.
18:35All leather.
18:36Put in rally gauges.
18:38Get rid of the drum brakes.
18:39Put in disc.
18:41Light cover it.
18:46Uh, yeah.
18:48And then some.
18:49I'll conserve the rest in advance.
18:51You really don't have to do that.
18:52Actually, I do.
18:54What do you mean?
18:55Just doing a little housekeeping.
18:57You know what I mean.
18:58I don't.
19:01The IRS is doing their usual digging around.
19:04Just gotta keep our noses clean for a minute.
19:07My nose is clean.
19:12Exactly.
19:13Just like that when they come knocking.
19:15Why are they knocking, Steve?
19:19Man, you are, like, scary good at this.
19:23No wonder Connor put us together.
19:25I'm serious.
19:32What did Connor tell you about me?
19:34None of this.
19:36All right.
19:37So, I got my hands in all types of things.
19:40Right?
19:41Laundromats.
19:42Car washes.
19:43A lot of cash-based investments.
19:45And you know how greedy Uncle Sam can get.
19:48So, from time to time, I inflate a little in one,
19:54put it in the other.
19:57So...
19:59So I've been laundering money for you?
20:02That's why I always take care of my partners.
20:06We could get in a lot of trouble.
20:08Don't worry.
20:09Connor will fix it.
20:11I've never done more than 30 days.
20:13Take it back.
20:15You're being crazy, Brett.
20:16I don't want to be a part of this.
20:18I hate to say it.
20:22But you already are.
20:43I'm sorry.
20:44I'm sorry.
20:45I'm sorry.
20:46I'm sorry.
20:47I'm sorry.
20:48I'm sorry.
20:49I'm sorry.
20:50I'm sorry.
20:51I'm sorry.
20:52I'm sorry.
20:53I'm sorry.
20:54I'm sorry.
20:55I'm sorry.
20:56I'm sorry.
20:57I'm sorry.
20:58I'm sorry.
20:59I'm sorry.
21:00I'm sorry.
21:01I'm sorry.
21:02I'm sorry.
21:03I'm sorry.
21:04I'm sorry.
21:05I'm sorry.
21:06I'm sorry.
21:07I'm sorry.
21:08I'm sorry.
21:09I'm sorry.
21:10I'm sorry.
21:11I'm sorry.
21:12I'm sorry.
21:26Who's hungry?
21:28We already had dinner, Mommy.
21:30Grandma wanted Thai food.
21:34Plenty of leftovers.
21:36I
21:39Won't sin
21:54So
21:55Another trip around the Sun mom. No, it's not for another week. I mean like we won't be celebrating it all month
22:03We wanted to do something special for you caddy Oh Alice baked a killer cake I
22:09Hate you wasting money on me

22:22Coffee shop cult apparently somebody bought Lady Justice on fire. Well, that is wonderful news
22:33So are we gonna get into this cake or what hold that thought
22:39Bet whoever bought it is as incendiary as the subject matter
22:44Oh, they don't tell you about it. You should ask why would we do that Patty?
22:53To thank his patron well in that case we should probably find out who bought his very first painting
22:59Because that's who started this whole thing
23:02Hey, I actually don't care who bought them as long as they've got deep pockets
23:07Well, I hope that whoever bought it
23:10Isn't in over their head. Well, it's good news. Not your money
23:15You don't think I'm worth it mom. I do pay

32:48It just wasn't the one he wanted
33:02I think I can't be a lot if you were any less you wouldn't be my mom
33:13I'm in a lot of trouble. How can I help? Well, I heard you guys were the best with government
33:21tax stuff
33:23My grandfather started this firm a million years ago. So I just try not to mess it up
33:28Well, he definitely wouldn't be too happy with my situation
33:33What do you mean Brett?
33:35One of your partners is the reason I'm in trouble
33:39Which one
33:43If nothing else we pride ourselves on integrity
33:59Tell Gramps I can't wait to sue this firm just be thankful. You're not being disbarred
34:09This was a giant mistake Patrick
34:17The stake was hiring you
34:19You
34:38Hey creeper
34:40Cool that I'm here. Yeah
34:43You want a drink?
34:44for real
34:46Like a juice box or something
34:49You have juice boxes
34:54What's going on so I was reading your book
34:58Really?
35:00What do you think?
35:02Some parts weren't boring. You know exactly the demo. Okay, I
35:07Didn't know why you were from Grand Rapids. Hmm
35:10Couldn't wait to leave
35:12Yeah, well, I can't imagine that a ton of pregnant friends in high school. I
35:16Still got voted prom queen. Yeah, right with your boyfriend. Someone made it to chapter 5
35:24captain of the baseball team
35:29That's me I just remember him being kind of hot
35:34See the one who knocked you up
35:37Why does it matter?
35:39Well, I just explain a lot
35:42Like what?
35:44Like why you came out of nowhere
35:46Giving me a scholarship. I didn't deserve
35:49We've been over this and then the tutors and the coaching you're an investment
35:56I think I'm more than that
36:02Coach wanted to see my birth certificate to prove my age. Okay, I
36:10Was born in Grand Rapids, too
36:15Why are you showing me this because my mom always
36:19Told me the stories about how she was on a road trip when she wanted to labor with me and it just never made any
36:25sense
36:28Maybe you should ask her about it again
36:30I
36:42Guess coach was wrong about my arm. Come on a pro like him knows God-given talent when he sees it
36:54Not God
36:56You
37:15What is with cleaning ladies and spatial relations
37:20You know, we've had three in the past year none of them have been able to get this trade to stick, right
37:26I
37:28Are you so fine with what happened the other night?
37:32What do you mean? I mean Brett was like unhinged that surprises you
37:39This is the same dude with her tantrum over his kids family tree. Yeah, but this was like next level
37:45Look if it were me, he's not a guy I want around my kids
37:49And I know it's not my place. Come on. I mean Brett's a good dad
37:56Just glad the kids weren't home to see it
38:00Do you think that there's any chance that this client of yours could be doing something shady
38:07As far as I know
38:09Steve's just a baller business guy who does what business guys do but I just don't sorry for trying to help
38:17He did a nice thing
38:26The first frost is only surprising when your gardens not prepared
38:56So we add things like strong bark to shield plants from dropping temperatures
39:06We wrap shrubs in burlap to protect against drying winds
39:13So
39:15We're supposed to do here
39:17Fix her up and sell her for an obscene amount of cash now, that's more like it
39:27But it won't be with me
39:52But no matter what you do to get ahead
39:56Winter always comes
39:58Sorry closing early today
40:03It'll be quick
40:07What do you need I have a problem
40:12All right

40:18Well, can it wait I need to get out of here I've been trying to get rid of it for years
40:23Aren't you guys going to the gala tonight, too?
40:26yeah, I thought it would just rot away, but
40:30It's still there
40:32Well
40:34Stumps don't really do that. Yeah, I need a gun for good
40:38I
40:54Should get it done
40:56I
41:03Don't give it to you, man
41:07Really underestimated you they got fired today. Just bring back the ax when we're done
