Season 1

Pilot [1.01]

Andi: Okay munchkins, family meeting. Daddy and I have some exciting news.

Adam: That's right. So, Katie, put your phone away. Emme, don't pick your nose. Teddy, buddy, stop touching yourself.

Teddy: I wasn't.

Adam: You had both hands in your pants, moving around down there like you're making origami.

Andi: No hands in pants, all right? Let's make it family motto. So, along with being over and school starting back up tomorrow, there's another chance happening in the family. I just got the official word and... I'm going back to work.

Adam: Yay!

Kate, Teddy and Emme: Yay!

Emme: What's your job?

Andi: It's the same job I had before you guys were born. I worked at a hospital, checking people's blood to find out what's making them sick.

Teddy: So you're a doctor?

Adam: (laughing) No. She's not a doctor. But it's very important work.

Andi: Anyway, Daddy's be taking you to school, picking you up, watching you until I get home, stuff like that.

Adam: Yeah, since I'm a contractor, I'm my own boss, so, I can work my schedule around you guys.

Andi: Look, all you guys need to know is, Daddy's in charge now.

Adam: That's right.

Teddy: Yeah!

Adam: Aw, bring it in.

Emme: I love you, Daddy.

Adam: Oh, you guys. We're have so much fun.

Emme: Can we get a puppy?

Adam: Sure

Andi: No!

Adam: No...

Teddy: Well, which is it?

Adam: Ask your mother. Not now. Do it later, when I'm not around.

Kate: Love you, Daddy.

Adam: See? Katie thinks I'm doing great already.

Andi: You can't trust a 13-year-old girl. She all whacked out on hormones.

Adam: Hormones?

Andi: Mm

Adam: My mom had those. She had to wear a patch just to keep from ripping our faces off.

Andi: I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm so excited. And guilty. And happy. And worried.

Adam: You know, they make a patch for that, too. Will you relax? Look I got this. Me and the kids have a blast together. I'm Daddy fun times.

Andi: Yeah, that's true. And I'll always be home in time for dinner.

Adam: Yeah.

Andi: I mean, it... it's not like I'm a doctor.

Adam: Come on, honey, this was always the plan when Emme started school full-time. Remember? Plus, we're gonna need the extra money for college. Based on their ability to flush a toilet, I'm not seeing scholarships.

Andi: You're right, it's fine because you are a great dad.

Adam: Oh...

Andi: And it means so much to me, you stepping up like this.

Adam: Oh, well, I'm happy to do it.

Andi: Mmm...

Adam: And I'm not looking for any kind of reward. Unless... you were thinking about something, in which case, who am I to say no?

Andi: Don't worry. You're gonna get the reward.

Adam: We're talking about the same thing, right?

Andi: You'll find out tonight.
