mm-hmm.

Hey, little guy.

Wanna see something cool?

Whoa!

Show me how you did that.

I can show you something even cooler.

Wow! You are so good with kids.

Thanks.

I'm a nanny, so it's kind of my job.

(laughs)

Do I know you from somewhere?

I don't think so.

Maybe you've seen one of my nannying ads.

Um, speaking of which…

I'm currently looking for new clients.

So if you need a little extra help,

Just give me a call.

Actually, could I talk to you about that now?

too Easy...

(laughs)

I told their running back that he couldn’t shake me.

It's like taking flags from a baby.

(laughs)

yeah, heck of a play! way to get our offense back out there.

Guys, let’s go.

You should play offense too – because it’s “offensive”

How much of a tomboy you are.

What? am I lying?

- You're the only girl on the field. - well, carter seems to be a fan.

That’s ‘cause he thinks you're a guy.

Besides, Carter is mine.

When I’m on his arm at the Homecoming Dance,

we’ll be a total power couple.

like Taylor and Travis,

Only hotter.

heads up!

Nice catch, dork!

Didn't your daddy ever teach you to do anything except look stupid?

I got it!

I got it!

Derp!

(Grunts)

(Grunts)

(Groans)

(blows whistle)

(Door closes)

(sighs)

Thanks again.

Given your stellar reviews, I'm amazed that you were

in between clients and actually had time to be our live-in nanny.

must’ve been fate, i guess.

So after you get settled in,

can you pick up the kids after school?

I've already told them you're starting today,

and Jesse's okay with it.

Lenny… (Sighs)

he's not really okay with much of anything these days.

Especially after his father...

uhm...

What happened?

(phone rings)

oh! (phone rings)

(phone rings)

Okay, umm... (phone rings)

(phone rings)

I gotta get this. (phone rings)

You see, this is why I need you so much. (phone rings)

Work is so demanding! (phone rings)

(sighs)

The perfect little house.

And the perfect little family.

You don't deserve this.

I'm not trying to pry into your personal life,

but whatever is going on is clearly distracting you!

We need you at a 100% for the pediatric hospital fundraiser.

Those kids are depending on you.

I completely understand.

And now that my kids are being looked after by our new nanny,

I’m gonna be laser-focused on my job.

That's what I like to hear.

(sighs)

Lenny's teacher said this is his second fight this week.

Tell his mother it's an urgent matter and to please have a Talk with him.

Don't worry.

I will give her the message.

And I apologize on the family's behalf.

Come on, kids. Let’s go.

(sighs) God, I hate math homework!

Can we take a break?

You just took a break.

Does your mom let you goof off

when you're supposed to be working?

She's never here when we're doing homework.

Of course, she isn’t.

Yeah, but that's because she works so hard.

She has a really important job with the hospital.

I'm sure.

And that's why I'm here now.

(door opens)

(sighs)

Mom!

(door closes)

Hi!

Oh, I missed you!

i can't take this anymore.

Come on. Let’s go.

please!

- Nope, now! - please!

Come on!

no!

Have you heard from dad?

When's he coming back?

(sighs)

honey, it's not that simple.

Your father’s…

on an extended trip.

Yeah, it must be really important,

But you've got mom here

and now BRITNEY, too.

(sighs)

Dad never told me about a trip!

Where is he?!

Why are you keeping him from us?!

Come on, Lenny! don't be like that!

(sighs)

let me guess,

- the Bandage on his arm is from a- - a fight at school.

(sighs)

How did I know?

Maybe you can do one of your magic tricks

and make their father reappear.

Good night, Lenny.

You’re his father!

Why don't you act like it?

(sighs)

This isn't about me!

It's about our kids!

Please, Chad!

Please, Just...

Hello?

Hello?

(Sighs)

when is church gonna start?

I'm bored.

Spoiled brat…

(Sighs)

I am so sorry!

lenny!

Please keep your legs still.

Britney, you are a lifesaver.

How is it that you're so good with kids?

(indistinct chatter)

Would you get them to shut up?!

i- I had lots of siblings.

another great sermon.

Thank you.

My boss accepts nothing less.

(laughs)

Can I trouble you for a few minutes to go over some

monotonous paperwork in the office?

Monotonous paperwork is my specialty.

And you are excellent at it.

(laughs)

(sighs)

Hey, Lenny, are you going to Father/Son Weekend?

I heard they’re doing archery with, like, real arrows!

oh, man...

I can't.

My dad is...

on a trip.

He won’t be back for a while.

Pretty sure you could go with your mom?

My mom?

But it's called Father and son weekend.

Okay, okay.

Just trying to help.

Where do you think you're going?

Actually, Better question -

Why would you go anywhere looking like that?

Save the dresses for the girls who look good in them.

Have you ever heard of makeup?

i heard what that girl said.

I think she’s got some new sins to atone for.

She's lucky she didn't get struck by lightning.

(chuckles)

She's not wrong.

I just feel like I don't fit in anywhere with anyone.

Hey, I know what you're going through.

Believe it or not, I used to be a grade-A outcast.

Sometimes

it takes everything in us to just...

get through the day.

I just wanna get home.

Sorry to bother you, but Jesse really wants to go home.

ugh!

Yeah, Lenny probably does, too.

- It's way past lunch and it’s- - mac ‘n cheese sunday?

Yeah,

he told me. Twice.

I'm almost done.

(sighs)

Okay, let's get going.

I'll meet you outside.

You wrapped up so fast, I didn't have a chance to use the bathroom.

Okay.

(door closes)

(sighs)

(sighs)

Thanks.

I am down to the wire on this presentation.

Hey, umm... Mom,

would you be able to help me put on some makeup?

(sighs)

Jess, no, I’ve got to get this presentation done ASAP.

You can take whatever you need from my bathroom.

Okay.

Thanks.

I think I'm gonna take the kids to school in a few minutes.

great, You do that.

(phone rings)

I have got to get this in the bedroom. (phone rings)

(phone rings)

Tell the kids I said bye. (phone rings)

For my next trick,

I'll make this presentation...

Disappear.

(Chuckles)

we’re halfway there, guys.

step 8 of my 10-Minute Miracle

- makeup routine. - No, no, no.

Now, let’s move on to the bronzer!

Okay, this is where your contouring comes into play.

Gotta go for that sun-kissed glow…

Ugh!

Hey, dork.

You know what you and the pot pie have in common?

You're both chicken.

ugh!

Lenny, what were you thinking?!

I thought he was hungry.

O-M-g! what happened to your face?

Those cheeks...

those lips...

those eyes...

(laughs)

Maybe she’s born like this.

Or maybe she's just a freak.

(laughs)

(door opens)

(sighs) Stupid.

stupid!

(sighs)

then at this point,

I will transition to the presentation for our new pediatric unit.

Sorry,

Technical difficulties.

let’s See here.

Where's the presentation?

I don't know what happened.

I do.

You're still not focused on your job, and we can't have this happening

during such a crucial time for the hospital.

One more mistake,

and the board will have no choice but to replace you.

(Door opens)

(door closes)

What are you hiding in here?

(sighs)

Maybe I could've been a baseball player.

Christmas presents would have been nice.

A family.

what I always wanted, but can never have.

Because of you!

(phone rings)

Hello?

I have an obligation to ensure the safety of all the students in this school.

If Lenny has one more physical confrontation,

I have no choice but to expel him.

Make sure his mother is aware.

(sighs) (door closes)

Lenny,

I think you can guess what she said in there.

Okay.

You've both clearly had a rough day, so…

why don't we go out and get ice cream?

So, what's the plan for the homecoming dance?

The plan is I just don't go.

I'll just look like a freak and get laughed at.

Don't talk like that.

Maybe I could persuade your mom to let me give you a wardrobe refresh.

Really?

And you'll teach me how to do my makeup?

(chuckles) yup.

You'll be the hit of the...

homecoming dance.

It's coming up this weekend.

Unfortunately, our volunteer who was handling refreshments had to pull out.

So can anyone here take their place?

(sighs)

Sure, I can handle the refreshments.

I’ve got nothing but time.

Okay.

See? It's all about the contours.

Now I get it.

I think you're missing your calling

Doing YouTube tutorials.

(laughs)

Thank you for showing me all this stuff.

- I've always wanted a sister. - Yeah, Me too.

Or at least one who acted like one. (laughs)

I'd love to spend time with mom, but

she's always so busy.

Especially since she kicked dad out.

At least, I think that's what happened.

She won't tell me the full story.

interesting...

Well, anyway, let's go get you some new threads.

(giggles) Okay.

Whoa!

Jesse,

you look amazing...

Oops!

Sorry.

You'd better go wash it off

before it ruins your bargain bin clothes.

Carter,

Before I was interrupted,

I was coming to ask you to the homecoming dance.

Yeah, absolutely!

I’ll go with you!

(sighs)

I just dropped lenny off at the church event.

uh-hmm...

You know, maybe since it's a parent/child thing,

you should make an appearance?

(sighs)

It'd be a nice surprise.

he could really use one.

Yeah, You're right.

I just finished redoing my presentation.

So,

I'll see you soon.

(sighs)

i’d like to tell you the story of a woman named Andrea -

the respected CEO of

a pediatric hospital – who abandoned her own daughter...

Now that’s a presentation.

two at a time.

- Surprise! - Mom?

why are you here?

Andrea, I need to have a word with you immediately.

$3,000 is missing from the safe.

The one that you were accounting for.

Why isn’t dad here?!

He could fix everything!

Andrea.

Why won’t she tell me where Dad is?

I just wanna know what's going on.

- I miss him so much. - I know.

(Sobs)

she's not doing right by you at all.

But look, I know what you're going through.

There are things that I want answers about, too.

And I have waited all my life.

There you go, sweetie.

Thank you.

Hey. Did anyone tell you how cute you look in a disco ball light?

Really?

Whoa!

Yo, what's up with your teeth?

Huh?

Yikes!

Looks like you learned how to put a dress on, just

not how to brush your teeth.

(laughs)

(Door opens)

(Door closes)

I just wanted one moment where everything would be okay.

My mom ruins everything.

How could she mess something up as easy as juice?!

(Door closes)

Honey?

Are you okay?

No, I’m really not!

Thanks to you!

(Sighs)

I don't know what to do.

Both my kids hate me.

They seem to be upset because of their dad.

Why not let them see him?

(Sighs)

Britney, you've been such a blessing to me.

I should tell you the truth.

I'm not keeping him from them.

He abandoned us.

He never wanted to be a father.

Not now.

Not then.

What do you mean?

You see…

not long after my husband and I started dating,

I got pregnant.

I was scared, of course.

I mean, we were both still kids ourselves,

but with Chad, there was more.

He could never accept it.

We were already barely making ends meet

And with a baby on the way…

He said we weren't ready to be parents,

and he pressured me to give our baby up for adoption.

I refused.

But then,

Chad found a family

who could offer our baby a good life.

much better than we could offer her.

It was…

The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.

I gave her up.

I know… it's terrible, but it was the best that I could do for her.

After we got married,

eventually, Jesse and lenny came.

And I hoped that Chad would change.

But he never wanted to be a father.

He ran out on us, and he took our entire life savings.

That's why I have to work so much.

I am doing my best,

but it never seems to make things right.

So…

you never wanted to abandon your daughter?

Of course not!

I think about her every day.

I wish I could see her.

I wish I could tell her I love her.

Every single week since she's been born,

I have been writing her a letter in my journal,

just in case I could find her

One day.

(Sobs)

she never stopped thinking about me.

(Phone rings)

(Sighs)

Hi, andrea.

Hey, Britney.

Sorry again about last night.

That was a lot to unload on you.

uh, it's no problem.

i just wanted to let you know that

I will be giving my presentation soon

at the fundraiser, so I'll be turning off my phone.

Tell the kids I'll be home as soon as i can.

Sure thing.

(Sighs)

Wait…

the presentation!

Why are you driving so fast?

We have to get to your mom's fundraiser.

I don't wanna go to some boring work thing.

- You need to support your mom. - why?

She doesn't support us.

She's trying her best!

Believe me.

So, without further ado, let me share with you

the new plans for the pediatric wing.

Wait!

Your file’s corrupted –

don’t open it!

I have a clean copy on this flash drive here. Okay.

One moment.

All good!

As I was saying...

The presentation was a hit!

Thank you for whatever it is you did to my computer.

I'd do anything for you

Now that I know the truth…

Hey, I don't want to tell the kids about-

No, sorry.

I meant something else.

How old would your daughter be by now?

She'd be 27. Why?

I'm 27.

I don't understand.

That little girl

grew up in that perfect home that you gave her.

Only it wasn't perfect for long.

She ended up in an orphanage.

Alone.

Growing resentful. blaming her mother

for abandoning her.

At least until she learned the truth.

If this is some kind of sick joke,

It is not funny.

i was that girl.

I was trying to ruin your life

to get my revenge.

(Sobs)

I’m sorry… Mom.

You’re my…

You're my daughter?

- I know… I’m a terrible person- - (Gasps)

I’ve been praying

that i would find you someday.

Listen, I-

I really think that you should tell the kids the truth...

about their dad.

I know what it's like growing up and not knowing,

And it leads you down a dark path.

(Door opens)

Hey. You two…

Is everything okay?

(Sighs)

Jesse,

Lenny…

We've got a lot to talk about.

But the most important thing to remember

is you've got a great mom.

I'm so sorry.

I haven't always been there for you, but I love you all…

more than life itself.

And it's time I tell you about your father.

Key Grammar Structures

• it’s not like he’s gonna listen to me.

  ➔ Conditional sentences (type 1 - likely/possible)

  ➔ Uses "is not like" + subject + "gonna" (going to) + verb, to show less possibility. For example: If it rains, I am not like that i'm gonna go out.

• You should play offense too – because it’s “offensive” How much of a tomboy you are.

  ➔ Indirect questions (embedded question)

  ➔ The sentence combines a direct statement with an embedded question. "How much of a tomboy you are" is the embedded question. Word order changes from the direct question.

• Given your stellar reviews, I'm amazed that you were in between clients and actually had time to be our live-in nanny.

  ➔ Adjective Clause / Relative Clause

  ➔ The phrase "Given your stellar reviews" function as an adjective clause giving more information about "you".

• I am down to the wire on this presentation.

  ➔ Idiomatic Expressions (down to the wire)

  ➔ "Down to the wire" means very close to a deadline or limit.

• The one that you were accounting for.

  ➔ Reduced relative clause

  ➔ The full clause would be "The one that you were accounting for", where "that you were accounting for" modifies "The one". The relative pronoun and auxiliary verb (that + were) can be omitted, resulting in a reduced clause.

• Maybe I could've been a baseball player.

  ➔ Past modal verbs expressing regret (could have + past participle)

  ➔ "Could've been" (could have been) expresses a possibility in the past that did not happen. It often implies regret or reflection.

• Tell the kids I'll be home as soon as i can.

  ➔ Future Time Clauses (as soon as)

  ➔ The sentence uses "as soon as" to indicate that one event will happen immediately after another in the future. In future time clauses, the present simple is often used instead of the future simple.
