00:00My mom, the last thing she said to us was, you two take care of each other.
00:15Thanks, babe.
00:19What is this, the third or fourth perfectly good family she's ripped you away from?
00:24You want to end up like your sister? Where is she?
00:26John!
00:28She should be with me. I'm her family. I'm 18 now.
00:37But it ain't enough to be 18. You gotta have a real job, a real place to live, man.
00:41That's what this is, see? Room on board. Set me up good like we used to.
00:46Oh, Donna. Have you had problems with your voice messages before?
00:51Donna? Yeah. Hi. That's me.
00:54You said you worked with autistic children before.
00:57Yeah.
00:58Glory's no rain man, no genius. Savanta upside. But we like to think she has an exceptional personality.
01:06Will you do it? I'll make it work.
01:08Oh! Oh!
01:10We're on the short bus.
01:12Donna! This is a class, not a circus.
01:15This is our son, Robert.
01:17Robert be nice.
01:18Are you here to save the day?
01:19Glory!
01:21Glory, come on.
01:23Not noodle time. Get up.
01:25We went over this. Undershirt, then in pants, then shirt.
01:29Don't ask me why the order matters, but it does.
01:31I got a job. I'm getting us a place.
01:33Come on, let's go!
01:34I don't want to feel like we're co-workers in a mental hospital.
01:38She's autistic, so she needs someone with her, like, all the time.
01:41How did you even get this job?
01:44You don't just tell little Phibs. Your lies are extraordinary.
01:49Bethany, I have a couple people I'd like you to meet.
01:52Would you have friends?
01:54Would you call me mommy?
01:58She's low functioning.
02:00Who's that?
02:02Mommy.
02:03Good.
02:04Good.
02:05She can be a lot more than she is if you give her a chance.
02:16Love function of my ass.
