What's really going on
The scene is a family falling apart in real time. Pam's rage is aimed at the nearest person — 'Get outta my house, Jimmy!' — and Howard's job is to absorb it and keep the children out of the way. The revelation lands in fragments: she lost her career, not just a job; they are taking her license; and, finally, 'I stole. We all did.' That last line is the scene's real bombshell, because it turns a personal disgrace into a family fact. Howard does what he can, offering a front-desk job and repeating, 'You are the smartest woman I have ever known,' and promising that she will 'land on her feet.' It is meant kindly, and it is also a way of not hearing the confession she has just made.
