1. - Oh, hi!
- Hi, I'm here to see the doctor.Copy !req
2. I'm Dr. Farts.
Come and have a seat.Copy !req
3. Put your head down,
you're ruining my doctor.Copy !req
4. Dr. Fart, I'm really sick.
Do you think you could help me?Copy !req
5. Yes, I can help you
with my farts.Copy !req
6. With your farts?
How does that work?Copy !req
7. Um...Copy !req
8. It will make you still alive.Copy !req
9. Oh, that makes sense.Copy !req
10. The farts aren't working.
I still feel sick.Copy !req
11. - Do you think it's cancer?
- May... be... yeah.Copy !req
12. - So, what should I do?
- Eat my poo,Copy !req
13. it'll make you feel better.Copy !req
14. - Your poo?
- Yeah.Copy !req
15. You want me to eat your poo?Copy !req
16. Yeah. Eat the poo!Copy !req
17. Eat it!Copy !req
18. It's poo.Copy !req
19. - Finish it. Eat it all.
- Okay.Copy !req
20. It's crunchy.Copy !req
21. Wow! I think I'm cured.Copy !req
22. You always eat the poo.Copy !req
23. That's it.Copy !req
24. Wow. Wow.Copy !req
25. - What do you think?
- Yeah.Copy !req
26. I think
that was pretty disgusting.Copy !req
27. It was his concept.Copy !req
28. - Was it?
- Yeah.Copy !req
29. Oh, really?Copy !req
30. - You don't believe me?
- No.Copy !req
31. All right, where's Adam?Copy !req
32. Is he under this chair? No.Copy !req
33. Is he under this chair?Copy !req
34. - There he is! There he is!
- No, no!Copy !req
35. Ever since I turned Adam
back into a six-year-old,Copy !req
36. I was determined
to take my dutiesCopy !req
37. as a father seriously.Copy !req
38. Woah!Copy !req
39. - I realized that
neither me or AngelaCopy !req
40. would get anything
out of this rehearsalCopy !req
41. unless we were both
fully committed to it.Copy !req
42. - Good, good.Copy !req
43. So I decided there would beCopy !req
44. no other rehearsals
besides this one.Copy !req
45. - I win!
- What? Oh!Copy !req
46. - You win?
- Yes!Copy !req
47. I was all in on my family.Copy !req
48. "The Holy Spirit came down
from HeavenCopy !req
49. in the form of a dove..."Copy !req
50. - Mm-hmm.
- "... and landed on Jesus.Copy !req
51. Then God said,
'This is my son.'"Copy !req
52. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
53. Back when I first
joined the family,Copy !req
54. Angela had expressed
strong opinionsCopy !req
55. about Adam's education.Copy !req
56. I'm considering a faith-based
homeschooling curriculum.Copy !req
57. - What do you think?
- Yeah, sounds good. I—Copy !req
58. If we had, you know,
like a Monday through Friday...Copy !req
59. I was raised Jewish,Copy !req
60. and I still do
all of the holidays and stuff.Copy !req
61. But because AngelaCopy !req
62. was so passionate
about Christianity,Copy !req
63. I thought I'd be open
to trying it her way.Copy !req
64. And 100 million stood
to attend him.Copy !req
65. His clothing was white as snow.Copy !req
66. His hair was like
the whitest wool.Copy !req
67. - Whoa.
- Yeah.Copy !req
68. But when Adam was three,Copy !req
69. my parents drove down
to visit from Vancouver, Canada.Copy !req
70. So I invited them over
for a picnic.Copy !req
71. So, we're trying to raise him
together and...Copy !req
72. Oh.Copy !req
73. - Doing our best so far.
- Okay.Copy !req
74. - Yeah.
- Experiencing the challenges.Copy !req
75. - Okay.
- Yeah.Copy !req
76. I mean, there's definitely a lot
I don't know and I feel like...Copy !req
77. she's been very generous with...
like, she's very knowledgeable.Copy !req
78. Yes. I feel like
I get clarity and perspectiveCopy !req
79. just from my relationship
with GodCopy !req
80. and learning about God
and what His word says.Copy !req
81. - Mm.
- What was the book
you suggested? Or...Copy !req
82. 1.Copy !req
83. - So, certain things—
- 1.Copy !req
84. - Romans 8.
- Certain things could—Copy !req
85. - Sorry?
- Romans 8.Copy !req
86. Romans 8.Copy !req
87. And after the meal,
they cornered me.Copy !req
88. I didn't realize that you were
raising the kid with her.Copy !req
89. - Yeah, I am.
- Okay.Copy !req
90. I mean, I kind of came into it
after her.Copy !req
91. - Yeah.
- So, you know, we're...Copy !req
92. Well, I think that, um,
you know,Copy !req
93. there's nothing wrongCopy !req
94. with talking about the things
that you've grown up with,Copy !req
95. the traditions
you've grown up withCopy !req
96. and the values
that you've learned also.Copy !req
97. At the time,
I didn't really understandCopy !req
98. why my parents seemed to care
how I raised a fake childCopy !req
99. with a fake partner.Copy !req
100. But it's kinda her...
She's really into the...Copy !req
101. this stuff, you know,
and I don't wanna overstep or...Copy !req
102. So, sometimes you feel
like it's just easierCopy !req
103. to go along with things
rather than...Copy !req
104. you know,
deal with the tension.Copy !req
105. - Yeah.
- Yeah.Copy !req
106. But my mom's tone
made me realizeCopy !req
107. they had seen this before.Copy !req
108. My relationship with Angela
was starting to parallelCopy !req
109. real relationships
I had had in the past.Copy !req
110. Can you go downstairs
and make sureCopy !req
111. the cookies are taken
out of the oven?Copy !req
112. - Yes.
- Thanks.Copy !req
113. - Right now?
- Yeah.Copy !req
114. Okay.Copy !req
115. Make sure to use an oven mitt.Copy !req
116. I have a tendency
to let my partnerCopy !req
117. take the reigns
and make the decisionsCopy !req
118. as a way of avoiding conflict.Copy !req
119. Hmm...
two more minutes.Copy !req
120. Two— Okay.Copy !req
121. And by not asking Angela
to raise Adam with Judaism too,Copy !req
122. I was falling
into my old habits.Copy !req
123. We love you.
In Jesus' name.Copy !req
124. - Amen.
- Amen.Copy !req
125. Amen.Copy !req
126. But this could be an opportunity
to change those habits,Copy !req
127. to practice
getting what I wantedCopy !req
128. without it turning into a fight.Copy !req
129. So I decided to wait
until wintertime,Copy !req
130. because I thought
discussing holiday plansCopy !req
131. would be a good way
to ease into the conversation.Copy !req
132. But it turns out winter
is very expensive to maintain.Copy !req
133. So I knew I couldn't put it off
much longer.Copy !req
134. I guess, since it's, uh...Copy !req
135. winter, um...Copy !req
136. should we talk
about our holiday plans at all?Copy !req
137. Yeah. Christmas
is really important to meCopy !req
138. and there's a lot I want to do,Copy !req
139. so we should
get started planningCopy !req
140. sooner rather than later.Copy !req
141. Yeah, and, um...Copy !req
142. I was just wondering
if, um, maybe we should—Copy !req
143. or how you'd feel
about incorporatingCopy !req
144. some Judaism
into Adam's life too.Copy !req
145. Um... Okay.Copy !req
146. - I had flown outCopy !req
147. one of my Fielder Method
graduates to help meCopy !req
148. better understand this woman
I was living withCopy !req
149. and navigate
this sensitive conversation.Copy !req
150. Okay, I just feel like
this whole experienceCopy !req
151. was supposed to be about me,
and now all of a suddenCopy !req
152. it feels like
it's becoming about you.Copy !req
153. But in a real relationship,
your partner might haveCopy !req
154. different feelings
than you, right?Copy !req
155. Yeah, but I know
that they'd be Christian.Copy !req
156. But people change their minds
all the time, right?Copy !req
157. - Were you always Christian?Copy !req
158. Exactly.Copy !req
159. There could be no flaws
in my approach.Copy !req
160. So I constructed
an exact replicaCopy !req
161. of our entire home
to get every detail right.Copy !req
162. - Hello.
- Come on in.Copy !req
163. - This is Angela.
- Hi, there.Copy !req
164. - This is Adam.
- Hi.Copy !req
165. How are you— Hi, Adam.Copy !req
166. I had the actress pose
as a new nanny I had hired,Copy !req
167. so she'd be able to secretly
observe AngelaCopy !req
168. and learn everything
about her primary.Copy !req
169. Nathan and I are not—Copy !req
170. - We were never...
- Okay.Copy !req
171. These are the teas she uses.Copy !req
172. This is her handwriting.Copy !req
173. - Mm-hmm.
- You see?Copy !req
174. Do you find that
it's been healthy for you here?Copy !req
175. Mm...Copy !req
176. Making my rehearsal
as true as life.Copy !req
177. Okay, well, now I feel
like you're just interestedCopy !req
178. in winning an argumentCopy !req
179. and not actually
having a conversation with me.Copy !req
180. - No, no. That's absurd. No, no.
- So...Copy !req
181. This could be fun.
There's a lot of couples that...Copy !req
182. do different religions
in a relationship.Copy !req
183. It's very common.Copy !req
184. Okay. Sometimes, when you set
your mind on something,Copy !req
185. it feels like
you have tunnel vision.Copy !req
186. And then I don't feel
I have the space to object.Copy !req
187. We're just— We're doing—
This is what we're—
We're just talking.Copy !req
188. Yeah, you're saying
that we're talking,Copy !req
189. but this is your project.Copy !req
190. It's not like I really
have a say.Copy !req
191. I mean, you...Copy !req
192. Did you know
that the term "fragrance"Copy !req
193. can contain over 1000 nat—
a thousand manmade chemicals?Copy !req
194. - Oh, really?
- It's really, you know.Copy !req
195. Forever chemicals.Copy !req
196. But yeah, sometimes I actually
b— boil a pot of like, cloves,Copy !req
197. to, like, make the house
smell good.Copy !req
198. - Cloves?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
199. I thought you said clothes.Copy !req
200. Smell of fresh clothes.Copy !req
201. Um...Copy !req
202. So, obviously it's winter
and the holidays are...Copy !req
203. - coming up and, you know...
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
204. It's like Christmas time,
and as...Copy !req
205. someone who is a Jew, and...Copy !req
206. you know, could there be a pathCopy !req
207. to doing Hanukkah too?Copy !req
208. And maybe even beyond that,
you know,Copy !req
209. raising Adam with Jewish...
uh, Judaism too.Copy !req
210. - As a faith?
- As a faith, yeah.Copy !req
211. I'm pretty much like a no
on the faith part 'cause...Copy !req
212. Jesus is the way,
the truth, and the life. So...Copy !req
213. I'm not trying to get you
to compromise your beliefs.Copy !req
214. I'm just— all I'm doing
is saying,Copy !req
215. well, is there... can I...Copy !req
216. get a little bit tooCopy !req
217. and then we do—
we do it all together.Copy !req
218. We do both, you know,
however we need to.Copy !req
219. I, unfortunately,
cannot participate in Judaism.Copy !req
220. Because Judaism deniesCopy !req
221. that Christ came
and died for us.Copy !req
222. - So I can't deny that.
- Well—Copy !req
223. And I wouldn't raise a child
to deny that.Copy !req
224. 'Cause it's the truth.Copy !req
225. I wanted everything
to stay as calm as possible.Copy !req
226. Why don't we talk
about something else?Copy !req
227. Oh, okay.Copy !req
228. Um...Copy !req
229. What's your favorite movie?Copy !req
230. I love the movie
Apocalypto.Copy !req
231. - Have you seen it?
- Yeah.Copy !req
232. I think Mel Gibson
makes really good movies.Copy !req
233. Oh, yeah, it's a classic.Copy !req
234. Yeah. He's one of
my favorite directors.Copy !req
235. Right, right.Copy !req
236. I like his camera technique
where he floats.Copy !req
237. He's a little, um...Copy !req
238. I think he just said, like...Copy !req
239. bad stuff about Jews and, um...Copy !req
240. Hmm.Copy !req
241. Hmm.Copy !req
242. But things
quickly veered off course.Copy !req
243. You joked
about eating feces...Copy !req
244. - He riffed it,
so I went with it.
- ... with a child.Copy !req
245. - No.
- What do you mean, no?Copy !req
246. It's not appropriate.Copy !req
247. Do you know sketch comedy?Copy !req
248. - Yes, I know—
- You have to—Copy !req
249. I watch Key & Peele,
I know sketch comedy.Copy !req
250. Okay. So, you have to escalate
the sketch, right?Copy !req
251. Let me
tell you something.Copy !req
252. - So if you start with fart—
- This is adult subject matter.Copy !req
253. Do you wanna finish the dishes?Copy !req
254. - Sure.
- Okay.Copy !req
255. Okay, you wanna take these?
Okay. Here, put the jacket on.Copy !req
256. - Okay, awesome.
Have a great time.
- Okay. Bye.Copy !req
257. - Bye.
- Bye.Copy !req
258. As much as we all love
Mel Gibson as a director,Copy !req
259. he's not the director
of this show.Copy !req
260. And in this show,
I get to decideCopy !req
261. which religion gets featured.Copy !req
262. What do you know about, um...Copy !req
263. - Jews?
- What?Copy !req
264. Judaism, Jews.Copy !req
265. Mm... What is that?Copy !req
266. There you go.Copy !req
267. Okay.Copy !req
268. This is a kippah.Copy !req
269. And— and it's a special hat
that's for Jews only.Copy !req
270. You don't get one of these
if you're Christian.Copy !req
271. - So, are you Christian or Jew?
- Mm... Jew.Copy !req
272. Jew. Okay, good. There you go.
So you get one.Copy !req
273. Pretty cool, huh?Copy !req
274. I hadn't been to synagogue
in years because it's so boring.Copy !req
275. - Shabbat shalom.
- Shabbat shalom.Copy !req
276. But I couldn't help
but feel excitedCopy !req
277. to reconnect with my faith
through the eyes of my son.Copy !req
278. But Adam had a lot of questions,
and I found myselfCopy !req
279. unable to provide him
with clear answers.Copy !req
280. Uh...
I don't know, actually.Copy !req
281. Um... I think they're saying...Copy !req
282. Uh...Copy !req
283. So I decided the next step
would be getting him
a Jewish tutor,Copy !req
284. since that's what I would do
in real life.Copy !req
285. - Hello.
- Hi, this is Adam.Copy !req
286. - I have a question.
- Yeah.Copy !req
287. Um, was Jesus the first Jew?Copy !req
288. Jesus? No, no.Copy !req
289. The first Jew,
his name was Abraham.Copy !req
290. Hey.Copy !req
291. Okay, lean your head over.Copy !req
292. I also needed to make sure
that Adam had his story straightCopy !req
293. if Angela asked him
any questions.Copy !req
294. So, each day before we got home,Copy !req
295. I quizzed him
about what happened.Copy !req
296. So, what did do you learn
at swimming today?Copy !req
297. Uh, I learned to do
a backstroke.Copy !req
298. Okay, so you were looking up.
So what color was the ceiling?Copy !req
299. Um...Copy !req
300. It was white.Copy !req
301. - And was there a lifeguard
at the pool?
- Uh, yeah.Copy !req
302. - And what was his name?
- His name was... Bob.Copy !req
303. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
304. You're all wet.Copy !req
305. It was really fun.Copy !req
306. And my teacher was Ukrainian
and he had a blue swimsuit.Copy !req
307. - Oh, really?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
308. The lifeguard's whistle was red.Copy !req
309. - Okay. Um, good.
- Oh.Copy !req
310. Yeah, so, I think he should go
to his room maybe now.Copy !req
311. I think he's had a...Copy !req
312. - Okay.
- He's a little tired, maybe.Copy !req
313. - Would he like a towel?Copy !req
314. Yeah, yeah. I should get him...Copy !req
315. Just they get so wet
in the water, the kids.Copy !req
316. For the first time
in a while,Copy !req
317. it felt like there was harmony
in our home.Copy !req
318. Okay, what do you want
on there?Copy !req
319. - I like that one.
- I want the spaceship one.Copy !req
320. Okay, hang it up.Copy !req
321. We were both able to get
what we wantedCopy !req
322. out of raising this child.Copy !req
323. We're going to feed
the chickens.Copy !req
324. Okay. This way.Copy !req
325. "Under King Antiochus, many Jews
were afraid for their lives.Copy !req
326. So they were forced to follow
the King's orders.Copy !req
327. This group
was called the Maccabees."Copy !req
328. Can you say "hanukkiah"?Copy !req
329. - Let me hear.
- Hanukkiah.Copy !req
330. That's right.
Look how smart you are.Copy !req
331. All right.Copy !req
332. Would it be okay if we use
the bathroom really quick?Copy !req
333. - Yeah. Sure.
- Okay. Come on.Copy !req
334. But when we started
using Miriam's showerCopy !req
335. - after every class...Copy !req
336. Is that
a good temperature?Copy !req
337. she began asking questions.Copy !req
338. What happened to you?Copy !req
339. It was just
a little, um...Copy !req
340. The shower accidentally
turned on, and then I slipped.Copy !req
341. It's okay, I mean,
it's okay. It's, uh, um...Copy !req
342. Um...Copy !req
343. The woman I'm, um...Copy !req
344. parenting Adam with, um...Copy !req
345. she doesn't want him
to be Jewish.Copy !req
346. And so I'm kind of having to
do it in secret a little bit.Copy !req
347. Wow.Copy !req
348. I gathered that from
the questions that he asked me.Copy !req
349. You know, he asked me
"Did the Jews kill Jesus?"Copy !req
350. I mean, I talked to her
about wanting to like compromiseCopy !req
351. - and be like, well,
maybe we could do both?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
352. And she thinks Judaism
is kind of an affrontCopy !req
353. to Christianity.Copy !req
354. And so she doesn't want
to do... and...Copy !req
355. Oh, I wouldn't stand
for that, man.Copy !req
356. Miriam was making me
feel like a bad Jew.Copy !req
357. For centuries and centuries,
the Christian peopleCopy !req
358. were terrified of the Jews
because their religion was olderCopy !req
359. and, you know, the real thing.Copy !req
360. And that's why
they tried to kill usCopy !req
361. for so many thousands of years.Copy !req
362. So, for me,
that wouldn't be okay, you know?Copy !req
363. You have to stand up to that.
You're 38 years old.Copy !req
364. You're not a kid.Copy !req
365. - Yeah.
- You know?Copy !req
366. And I was realizing
that being a Jewish fatherCopy !req
367. was more complicated
than I thought.Copy !req
368. I heard your part.Copy !req
369. I want to hear what
she has to say about her stand.Copy !req
370. You want to talk to her?Copy !req
371. Well, I could bring in
some of that knowledgeCopy !req
372. that I told you to study about.Copy !req
373. Miriam wanted
to talk to AngelaCopy !req
374. about how we were raising Adam.Copy !req
375. And I thought
that could maybe be a good idea.Copy !req
376. Do you need to rehearse at all?Copy !req
377. Miriam knows more
about religion than me.Copy !req
378. Maybe she could win her over.Copy !req
379. - This is my friend Miriam.
- Hi, Miriam.Copy !req
380. - Hi, nice to meet you, Angela.
- Nice to meet you. Pleasure.Copy !req
381. So, you're very conflicted
about JudaismCopy !req
382. - being part of Adam's life.
- Mm...Copy !req
383. So, can you tell me
why, or what...Copy !req
384. I wouldn't describe the way
that I'm feeling as conflicted.Copy !req
385. I might use a different word.
I might use, um...Copy !req
386. I'm just against it.Copy !req
387. - As a faith.
- Okay...Copy !req
388. Um, Judaism denies
that Christ has returned yet.Copy !req
389. What about the values of Judaism
and the values of Christianity?Copy !req
390. Do they conflict
with each other too?Copy !req
391. Same values. Same values.Copy !req
392. - Yeah, so what's the deal?
- Yes.Copy !req
393. - What's the deal here?
- Yeah, what's the deal?Copy !req
394. Why are you so persistent
about this one point?Copy !req
395. Jesus Christ. That's the deal.
He is the deal.Copy !req
396. - He is the chief cornerstone.
- You know what? Forget about it.Copy !req
397. - Forget about it.
- Forget about what?Copy !req
398. About all of it.Copy !req
399. I don't do well
with anti-Semites.Copy !req
400. So that's it.Copy !req
401. I'm done with this.Copy !req
402. - You know?
- Okay.Copy !req
403. - I'm not an—
- I think that's the end
of the discussion.Copy !req
404. She's saying
she's understanding,Copy !req
405. but then she's insisting that...Copy !req
406. I have no hate
towards anyone.Copy !req
407. I love Jesus Christ
and I won't deny Him. That's it.Copy !req
408. Okay. And maybe one day
you'll understandCopy !req
409. that the world does not revolve
around Jesus Christ.Copy !req
410. Nathan likes to start fights.
There was peace in the householdCopy !req
411. until, you know,
he came with this.Copy !req
412. Who does it look like
likes to start fights,
based on this—Copy !req
413. - And he likes to
manipulate people.
- What do you think?Copy !req
414. You know that during
the Middle Ages...Copy !req
415. - uh...
- It's hard for him to be honest.Copy !req
416. You don't have to talk
about Jesus constantly.Copy !req
417. Nathan has a problem with lying.
He lies a lot.Copy !req
418. He does.Copy !req
419. I found myself
needing a place to goCopy !req
420. from time to time,
away from the house.Copy !req
421. My replica bar setCopy !req
422. had been sitting empty
for months.Copy !req
423. So I recently obtained
an Oregon State
special events liquor licenseCopy !req
424. and built an 82-foot
enclosed walkwayCopy !req
425. leading to the outside world.Copy !req
426. For legal reasons,Copy !req
427. I couldn't use
the name Alligator Lounge,Copy !req
428. but I came up with a new name
that was even cooler.Copy !req
429. The sign was enough to attract
a few locals who had no ideaCopy !req
430. this bar was actually
just a set in a warehouse.Copy !req
431. I figured since it was here,
I might as well use it.Copy !req
432. And it was cool to own
my own bar that HBO paid for.Copy !req
433. I'm the Nate
from Nate's Lizard Lounge. Yeah.Copy !req
434. It was also a way of keeping
some of my acting studentsCopy !req
435. employed in between roles.Copy !req
436. I had been reviewing the footage
from the 16 camerasCopy !req
437. I had installed in our homeCopy !req
438. because I was having
an increasingly difficult timeCopy !req
439. interpreting Angela's behavior.Copy !req
440. We were having
more disagreements,Copy !req
441. which was a good challenge
for a rehearsal.Copy !req
442. You ate feces.Copy !req
443. - You ate the child's feces.
- I did—Copy !req
444. - Angela, it was a chocolate bar.
- I don't care.Copy !req
445. But sometimes I couldn't tellCopy !req
446. if we were arguing as co-parentsCopy !req
447. or if she was actually
mad at me.Copy !req
448. Are you aware that eating poo
is actually a satanic ritual?Copy !req
449. - I— No.
- Like...Copy !req
450. - And I'm—
- Maybe you should
make a list for meCopy !req
451. of all the things
that are satanic,Copy !req
452. so that I know
when I'm doing something,Copy !req
453. how to avoid them.Copy !req
454. - To smear— to smear—
- I'm gonna bring home oranges
from the grocery storeCopy !req
455. and you're gonna be like,
"That's satanic."Copy !req
456. I had assumed
she was just really engagedCopy !req
457. with this parenting rehearsal.Copy !req
458. But when I started reviewing
the footageCopy !req
459. from when I was out of town,
it painted a different story.Copy !req
460. From the moment I left,Copy !req
461. Angela had completely
abandoned the notionCopy !req
462. that she was rehearsing
for her future life as a mother.Copy !req
463. Joshua.Copy !req
464. Yeah.Copy !req
465. There were
no homeschool lessons,Copy !req
466. no gardening,Copy !req
467. and the fake orders
she was supposed to package upCopy !req
468. to simulate the future success
of her home businessCopy !req
469. ceased to go out,Copy !req
470. leaving the fake mailman
with nothing to pick up.Copy !req
471. All the effort I had put intoCopy !req
472. maintaining this
delicate realityCopy !req
473. had gone out the window.Copy !req
474. Wheee...Copy !req
475. So, what was Angela
actually doing here?Copy !req
476. I'm just so confused.
You won't let me have...Copy !req
477. the experience I want.Copy !req
478. But I can't even tell if you're
invested in this yourself.Copy !req
479. I'm as invested as I can be.Copy !req
480. But this is all
sort of absurd, right?Copy !req
481. Swapping out the kids
through the window,Copy !req
482. aging them
three years at a time.Copy !req
483. It won't work if you don't try.
You have to want it to work.Copy !req
484. Are you mad that I... have been
caught up in my workCopy !req
485. and haven't been prioritizing
our family life?Copy !req
486. - Because if so, I'm sorry. I—
- Nathan! What family life?Copy !req
487. You know we're not
your real family, right?Copy !req
488. This is your work. All of this.Copy !req
489. I was starting
to lose trackCopy !req
490. of which version of myself
I was supposed to beCopy !req
491. in these rehearsals.Copy !req
492. But I wanted to know what Angela
was hoping to get from all this.Copy !req
493. So, is this silly?Copy !req
494. Or is it something
that I should take seriously?Copy !req
495. It's silly and serious.Copy !req
496. I mean, it's complicated.Copy !req
497. Life can be more
than one thing, right?Copy !req
498. Life's complicated, and...
Why are you even here, huh?Copy !req
499. What's the real reason?
Honestly?Copy !req
500. Okay, well, why are you here?
Huh?Copy !req
501. Why are you doing this?Copy !req
502. For you— Are you really trying
to help me?Copy !req
503. Or am I the silly part
that you talk about, huh?Copy !req
504. Is my life the joke?Copy !req
505. Do you sit here
with your friendsCopy !req
506. at the end of the day
laughing at me?Copy !req
507. No, you're not the joke.
Not at all.Copy !req
508. No one's the joke.Copy !req
509. The situations are funny,
but interesting too.Copy !req
510. - Shut up.
- But this can be—Copy !req
511. Like, the opportunity to raise
your kids in— in a rehearsal—Copy !req
512. - Just shut up!Copy !req
513. You're a liar.
Because if this were real,Copy !req
514. you would have
some sort of emotionCopy !req
515. instead of standing there
like a rock.Copy !req
516. Do you want to feel something?Copy !req
517. Do you want to feel
something real?Copy !req
518. Yeah.Copy !req
519. That's sad.Copy !req
520. You never will.Copy !req
521. No matter how hard you try...Copy !req
522. you never will.Copy !req
523. Oh...Copy !req
524. Okay.Copy !req
525. Maybe we can try a...Copy !req
526. - just a nicer version
of the entire scenario.
- Yeah.Copy !req
527. Okay. Yeah, we can do that.Copy !req
528. - That was really good.
- Okay.Copy !req
529. - How're you doing?
- I'm doing very well, thank you.Copy !req
530. - How are you?
- Good.Copy !req
531. - Good.
- Um...Copy !req
532. I was looking
at some of the footageCopy !req
533. from when I was away
out of town.Copy !req
534. - Mm-hmm.
- I guess it seems likeCopy !req
535. maybe when
I'm not around, that...Copy !req
536. you know, you don't care
so much about...Copy !req
537. the reality of the experience,
yet when I'm here,Copy !req
538. you're very controlling
about what I can experience...Copy !req
539. - in it.
- Oh!Copy !req
540. - Does that make sense?
- It definitely does.Copy !req
541. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
542. Um...Copy !req
543. I navigated through
a lot of situations that...Copy !req
544. you know, were difficult
and uncertain,Copy !req
545. and I wasn't given
a lot of direction.Copy !req
546. Um, I could have been a—
a collaborator with you on this.Copy !req
547. More so than—
than you've let me.Copy !req
548. Angela, a collaborator?
This whole thing is you.Copy !req
549. - This is your ideal house.
- I'm— I'm talking about—Copy !req
550. I'm talking about psychological.Copy !req
551. This is how you wanted
to raise the children.Copy !req
552. This is everything.Copy !req
553. But I've never done this before.Copy !req
554. - Yeah,
and neither have I.
- No direction.Copy !req
555. - Neither have I.
- No direction.Copy !req
556. - And we figured it out.
- Okay, well—Copy !req
557. And I feel like we—
we still make mistakes, but...Copy !req
558. - Yes—
- ... we're doing okay.Copy !req
559. So, originally,
I wanted the whole thing.Copy !req
560. - Uh-huh.
- I wanted zero to eighteen.Copy !req
561. - Yeah, we can still do that.
- Yeah, but it's like...Copy !req
562. kind of almost like
I don't know—Copy !req
563. I don't see an end in sight.Copy !req
564. I don't know when we're gonna
get to the 18-year-old.Copy !req
565. - I don't know.
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
566. You know, and I think
it's a good timeCopy !req
567. to bring closure to it.Copy !req
568. Yeah. I think it's a good time.Copy !req
569. Okay. Um...Copy !req
570. I... I feel incredibly blessed
to have been chosen for this.Copy !req
571. And... yeah, thank you
for all the work you put inCopy !req
572. to tailor this to my experience.Copy !req
573. Um, it's in—
they did a really excellent jobCopy !req
574. with— down to the details.
So thank you.Copy !req
575. Thank you so much.Copy !req
576. - Yeah, thank you.
- It's very special.Copy !req
577. - You're welcome.
- Thank you.Copy !req
578. Thank you
for being a part of it.Copy !req
579. - Yeah.
- Yeah.Copy !req
580. - Yeah, definitely.
- Okay.Copy !req
581. I'll take my tea.Copy !req
582. Thanks.Copy !req
583. Oh, thank you!Copy !req
584. Thanks for this experience.Copy !req
585. - Okay.
- I really appreciate it.Copy !req
586. - Yeah.
- Daddy!Copy !req
587. The woman who
this rehearsal was designed forCopy !req
588. was now gone.Copy !req
589. So what was this urge
inside of me to carry on?Copy !req
590. Hey, buddy! Can I talk
to you about something?Copy !req
591. What?Copy !req
592. Your mommy's decided
to leave the family, okay?Copy !req
593. - Why?
- I don't know.Copy !req
594. But, hey! It has nothing
to do with you, 'kay?Copy !req
595. - Yeah.
- You still got me, right?Copy !req
596. Who am I?Copy !req
597. Who am I?Copy !req
598. Daddy.Copy !req
599. Maybe doing this alone
is what I needed.Copy !req
600. To sink or swim
on my own terms.Copy !req
601. It was time to stand up
for my own values.Copy !req
602. And the values
of those who came before me.Copy !req
603. We don't always get to choose
what happens in life,Copy !req
604. but we do get to decide
if we rehearse for it.Copy !req
605. - Chag sameach.
- Chag sameach.Copy !req
606. So, uh... she's gone.Copy !req
607. - What?
- Yeah.Copy !req
608. Congratulations, my dear!Copy !req
609. What's gonna happen to Adam?Copy !req
610. - I got Adam.
- You got Adam.Copy !req
611. - Yeah, he sticks with me.
- She just left Adam behind?Copy !req
612. - Yeah.
- Awesome.Copy !req
613. - Yeah. Pretty good, huh?
- Yes!Copy !req
614. - Come on in.
- We're gonna make another Jew.Copy !req
615. And hold it
as we say the blessing.Copy !req
616. Israel warned those civiliansCopy !req
617. that there was gonna
be a bombing.Copy !req
618. They had time to get out
if they wanted to.Copy !req
619. So the AP right away
blamed Israel for everything.Copy !req
620. Media is biased
for the PalestiniansCopy !req
621. - against the Israelis.
- Okay.Copy !req
622. And that's how they present
the news.Copy !req
623. What's your opinion
about Israel?Copy !req
624. It's kind of a— a hot button
issue right now, isn't it?Copy !req
625. - What?
- Israel.Copy !req
626. You have a platform,
you should support Israel.Copy !req
627. - That's part of being Jewish...
- Yeah.Copy !req
628. is supporting Israel.Copy !req
629. So I should...
I should say, like...Copy !req
630. um... like my opinion, or...Copy !req
631. Well, what do you think
about the Palestinian issue?Copy !req
632. Well, um...Copy !req
633. I mean, I— I— I—Copy !req
634. I— I— I guess I, um, support—Copy !req
635. I mean it's— it's tricky
'cause, you know,Copy !req
636. I know there's a lot of people
with strong opinions about it...Copy !req
637. You have a platform,
you should talk about
how beautiful Israel is,Copy !req
638. how important it is
in the whole Middle East.Copy !req
639. Yeah. Okay.Copy !req
640. - How we are
a light to the nations.
- Yeah.Copy !req
641. How in Israel was inventedCopy !req
642. all kinds of medical advancesCopy !req
643. that help all the people
of all the world,Copy !req
644. and some of them don't even know
that they were invented there.Copy !req
645. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
646. And then that, uh,
the Intel and the microchipsCopy !req
647. and the computers
and the medical advancesCopy !req
648. and all kinds of things,Copy !req
649. that we are ohr la'goyim,
a light to the nations.Copy !req
650. Yum, these doughnuts
are delicious.Copy !req
651. Oh. In Hebrew,
we call them sufganiyot.Copy !req
652. - Sufganiyot, right.
- They're not exactly sufganiyotCopy !req
653. because the sufganiyot
are not sugar coated.Copy !req
654. These are just jelly doughnuts.Copy !req
