00:05But why can't I go to school today?
00:09I told you, I want you home with me.
00:14Who's my boy?
00:17Who's my big man?
00:20Me.
00:21Who needs school?
00:23But I like school.
00:26So did I.
00:28Everybody forgets Mommy was smart and went to college.
00:32They don't teach you what you really need to know.
00:37Like, why do men fly the coop?
00:39They always fly the coop.
00:44Except for you, Georgie.
00:48Mom.
00:51Oh, Christ.
01:05It's your favorite.
01:09Fried bologna and Velveeta.
01:12Eat it.
01:15Eat it.
01:21It's a stinking life, George.
01:24Try your hardest.
01:25You wear hot heels and a girdle.
01:27You go to work every day and things just get worse.
01:30That's the way it is.
01:33What are those for?
01:38Mommy hurts.
01:39What if you fall down again?
01:42I'll take a nap right here.
01:48Hold my hand.
01:51The whole time you're asleep?
01:53Mm-hmm.
01:56What if I have to go to the bathroom?
01:59Then go to the bathroom, get back here, and hold my hand.
02:03God, sometimes you're so stupid.
02:06Sorry.
02:10Listen, I'm very tired, so don't let anybody wake me up.
02:15I mean it.
02:16All right.
02:17Ow!
02:18No.
02:23I love you so much.
02:26Do you love me?
02:29You're my life, George.
02:32Remember that.
02:34I will.
03:01I love you.
03:08Excuse me.
03:09Hey, hey. Hi, George.
03:11How you doing? Everything okay?
03:12I need to go in there.
03:15Are they friends of yours?
03:16No, but they've suffered a terrible loss.
03:20Well, this one's kind of private.
03:22I'll just sit in the back.
03:24Ah, George, you know what?
03:25There's a funeral later this afternoon.
03:27I'd love to have you, okay?
03:29So, yeah, really nice people.
03:31I'll go upstairs and tell you all about it.
03:32I'd like to be of help if I can.
03:43Mykonos was insane.
03:44You'd meet a bunch of backpack people
03:46from Iceland or wherever,
03:47and we'd all swim out to an empty cruiser
03:49and party all night. On some stranger's boat?
03:51Uh-huh. What if you got caught?
03:53Nobody gave a fuck.
03:55Swim back in the morning, drunk, stoned.
03:57High in the sun.
04:04I'm a new man with you.
04:07You've changed everything.
04:10I am a familiar?
04:12Can't you tell?
04:15I'm a little happier than I've ever been.
04:19That's all because of you.
04:20Oh, stop it.
04:25Let's stay in bed all day,
04:28talking.
04:30Oh, fuck it.
04:31Yes, please.
04:36You know what?
04:37I think we need to spend a few years in Europe.
04:41What, like live there?
04:42Mm-hmm.
04:42They despise Americans.
04:44I don't need that.
04:45But it would be so good for your aunt.
04:46I mean, you would really ripen over there.
04:48Not France, that's too tired.
04:51I see us in Spain.
04:54I don't know.
04:55Mm-hmm.
04:57Oh, where in Spain?
04:59Granata.
05:01Bata Nona.
05:03Bata Nona.
05:04Bata Nona.
05:05Bata Nona.
05:05And the islands.
05:06Yeah.
05:08Mallorca.
05:10Menorca.
05:13Abiza.
05:15Abiza.
05:16Don't touch anything.
05:18There's a system.
05:19Okay.
05:21Okay.
05:21Uh, and this is?
05:23Uh, your copy of the first half of the first part of the L.A. County adoption application.
05:28Uh, but I already signed everything.
05:29Not this.
05:30Our appointment is tomorrow.
05:32If we're not on top of our paperwork, surely we'll kick our gay daddy asses into the street.
05:37And this pile is?
05:40Fertility futures, surrogacy materials.
05:44In alphabetical order.
05:45Color-coded.
05:46Our appointment there is?
05:48A day after tomorrow.
05:49We get to talk to the surrogate alone.
05:51Did you send the county your anger management stuff?
05:53Yeah, I think so.
05:54Keith, you pounded some guy to a bloody pulp.
05:56They have to have a paper that says you won't do that again.
05:58I sent it.
05:58I'm positive.
05:59They have a record of your assault against Roger?
06:02Assault.
06:02That is so ridiculous.
06:03Yes.
06:04Did you get his affidavit about dropping the charges, et cetera?
06:07Oh, shit.
06:09Call him.
06:09We need it today so I can scan it and make copies to staple to the supplemental-
06:12You are such a mom.
06:16You are.
06:26Well then, I'm going to go run some errands.
06:30Anybody need anything?
06:31Happy to help?
06:32No, thanks dear.
06:33I have to go to the market anyway.
06:34I can do that.
06:36Or I can.
06:37Oh, no, no.
06:37It's only a few little things I have in my head.
06:39Like a list.
06:40Yeah, and I'll pick them all up on my way back.
06:42It's right where I'm going.
06:42That's very nice, but it's easier if I get everything.
06:44There's no reason for you to fetch and carry for us, Nate.
06:46I'm looking forward to the produce section.
06:48Ruth, I'm going.
06:51Yeah, and I have things to do in that direction, so we'll both-
06:53I'm going upstairs to get dressed.
06:55Okay, I'll make a list.
06:58Are you going to let him go by himself?
06:59You heard.
07:00You wouldn't let me stop him.
07:02But he'll be okay.
07:03It's one of his good days.
07:05I don't think so.
07:05He just tried to crash a funeral on his bathrobe.
07:08You can't expect him to be perfect.
07:10I don't expect him to be perfect.
07:11I just want the poor guy to be safe.
07:24Maybe I should see your supervisor.
07:26I don't know if you're ready for me.
07:28You might be right.
07:30But now that we're here...
07:32I'm a very complex person.
07:36I'm sure you are.
07:38I keep ending up in hospitals.
07:40Really?
07:40Okay.
07:41Well, tell me about that.
07:43Oh.
07:44A few times for anorexia.
07:46Twice for alcohol poisoning.
07:48Once I had an artery.
07:50I'm a cutter.
07:53And I keep pulling my hair up.
07:56So I see.
08:00It's all this pressure to be normal.
08:03And I can't.
08:05And nobody understands.
08:09I think I do.
08:14I guess I expected a few body image issues, but it's every girl who walks in the door.
08:18I know.
08:19I had a kid this morning.
08:20She only eats on Saturdays.
08:21Mine?
08:22Two beers and a candy bar.
08:23That's it.
08:24Every day for the last two years.
08:25I mean, do their families not notice their daughters are emaciated?
08:29No.
08:30Do you know I was a fat girl?
08:32Yeah.
08:33Oh, yeah.
08:35204 pounds.
08:36No way.
08:36Yeah.
08:37Why do you think I have so much compassion?
08:40Did you starve it off?
08:42Oh, God.
08:42I tried, but I was too weak.
08:44Those anorectics are made of steel, you know?
08:48So how'd you lose it?
08:51What's the difference?
08:52I'm beautiful no matter how much I wear.
08:53No, I need to know.
08:54As a therapist, it will help me.
08:56What's the 12 steps?
08:58Oh, yeah.
08:59Hypnotherapy.
09:01Speed.
09:03Yeah.
09:03See?
09:04It's terrible.
09:05Don't tell.
09:06You're a fine example.
09:08Hey, it's fucking hard to be a fat girl.
09:09Come on.
09:21These are from Chile.
09:24Isn't it amazing the variety of apples you can get nowadays?
09:27You like the Fugees.
09:29Oh, it's a beautiful day, isn't it?
09:32But you've been feeling a little off lately.
09:35Maybe it's because 51 years ago today you let me die.
09:39No.
09:42You okay?
09:45No.
09:47No.
09:52He was a gymnast, state gymnast from Iowa,
09:55just wedged himself into his last one across the experiment.
09:58Keith!
09:59David!
10:00This is Hal and Hal's friend, Critter.
10:03Hey.
10:04Pleasure.
10:05Hello.
10:06We're being bad.
10:07Hal fired up the blender and suddenly daiquiris were littering the landscape.
10:11Care to indulge?
10:16Better not.
10:17There's the meeting tomorrow.
10:19Right.
10:20Right.
10:20What am I thinking?
10:21Keith and David are going to be fathers.
10:23Whoa.
10:24Congratulations.
10:26I just wanted to make sure we had a copy of your letter in the hand.
10:29Of course.
10:30I'll get it so you can relax.
10:33Signed, witnessed, notarized, cauterized, circumcised.
10:39And you know Roger because...
10:41He's helping with my career.
10:44So you're an actor or...?
10:46Yeah, well, soon.
10:47You know, mostly I've been doing like modeling, but I'm like boring, you know.
10:51I need to cut loose a little.
10:53Yeah.
10:54Nothing wrong with that.
10:54Hell is going to be huge.
10:57Definitely.
10:58Whoa.
11:02David.
11:03It's been months.
11:05I've been well behaved.
11:06I employ your husband.
11:07I think I've proved I'm not Satan.
11:09Yeah, you have.
11:11Pretty much.
11:14Thank you, Roger.
11:16Here's to children.
11:18May they be wanted and loved just as they are.
11:20Because anything less is hell.
11:22As we all know.
11:56I'll talk to you later.
12:04Hey, what are you doing here?
12:06Same as you, looking for a date?
12:09Doesn't this remind you of a movie?
12:12Two people who got a divorce meet at singles night and they, uh...
12:17I thought you were all hooked up with the hockey player.
12:19That was just sex.
12:21I don't need to hear about it.
12:23Why not?
12:24We're adults. Adults have sex.
12:25We don't have to be ashamed to say it out loud.
12:26I just think you're better than that.
12:32You want to come by and see the kids tomorrow?
12:35I can't.
12:36I've got to go to Irvine for a funeral director's conference.
12:39Ugh.
12:39Fun.
12:40Yeah.
12:41Ooh.
12:42Really good time.
12:45Chiro, Rico.
12:46Go on, mingle.
12:47Call the boys when you get back.
12:49Oh, there's that man I want to talk to.
12:55Hi, how are you?
12:56I'm Vanessa.
12:57I'm nice to see you at 10 o'clock with us.
12:59Joe doesn't know about the party.
13:01It's a surprise.
13:09Hey you.
13:10Hey you.
13:12Hey you.
13:13Hey you.
13:14Hey you.
13:15Hungry?
13:18Um...
13:19No, thank you.
13:20I had a garden burger in the car.
13:23You sure you should be eating that?
13:24Yeah.
13:27That lettuce is great.
13:28Look at that.
13:30Wow.
13:30Funny.
13:32There's pasta from the other night in the fridge.
13:34Yeah, really all I want is a shower.
13:35Mm-hmm.
13:38So...
13:38Hey, is there anything internal I should know about?
13:41Hmm?
13:42Egg-wise.
13:43Oh.
13:45God, I forgot.
13:46For once.
13:47Um, no.
13:49Thank you for asking.
13:50Mm-hmm.
13:51And Mom wants us to come for dinner tomorrow night.
13:54Oh, nay.
13:54We were just there last week.
13:56Well, George likes to spend time with Maya and I really think my mom could use the relief.
13:59That's excruciating.
14:01You don't have to come if you don't want to.
14:04He's funny.
14:07Funny.
14:08Yeah, yeah, I'm serious.
14:10The way things are going in this country, we're getting out.
14:12What?
14:12No, not Italy.
14:14That's a cliché.
14:15We're not taking a semester in fucking Florence.
14:17We are building our lives then.
14:19Yeah, maybe Spain.
14:21Or...
14:21Wait, what'd you go?
14:23Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Morocco.
14:26Wait.
14:26I still know people.
14:27What time is it over there?
14:29What time is it right now?
14:30Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
14:36We all know that this procedure is cost prohibitive, yet fascinating.
14:42So as a research experiment, I committed myself to waterless and balling for seven months.
14:47This, for many of us, is the road not taken.
14:51But I diverged in the yellow wood to develop better techniques for those situations in which there may be no
14:57H2O.
14:58Let us compare.
15:00Typically, the anhydrous process would involve 16 ounces arterial fluid, 32 ounces humectant, or humectant co-injection mix, plus 32
15:11ounces water treatment, resulting in a final dilution strength of three to four percent HCHO.
15:19Now, in a typical conventional embalming, the numbers would be somewhat different, with 10 to 12 ounces arterial fluid, 8
15:30ounces humectant, or humectant co-injection mix.
15:35Okay, good to see you guys.
15:36You guys have a good chance.
15:45Hey.
15:46Hey.
15:47Here we go.
15:49Here we go.
15:49Here we go.
15:49Fisher and Diaz.
15:51Hey, do you know Fisher and Sons?
15:53Well, uh, Fisher and Diaz used to be Fisher and Sons.
15:56See, I own part of the business now.
15:57The same place, man.
15:59That is crazy.
16:01I work there.
16:02Oh.
16:03Really?
16:04Angela?
16:05You're Federico.
16:06You went over to Kroner for a while, right?
16:09That's when I came in.
16:10I remember your work from the board.
16:12You rock.
16:14And I'm pretty good myself, so I should know.
16:17Well, thank you.
16:18Thank you very much.
16:20Of course, they fired me, the Fishers.
16:23I broke a glass, you know.
16:25They acted like I murdered someone, or fucked a body, or whatever.
16:30I don't want to diss your partners.
16:32You're awesome.
16:35Hey, are you going to go to Advanced Anatomy for restorative art?
16:38Yeah.
16:39Yeah, I am.
16:40Well, good.
16:40We can sit together.
16:42I'll be your groupie.
16:45I mean, your wife won't mind, will she?
16:48Ex-wife.
16:49I'm in the middle of a divorce right now.
16:51Ah, too bad.
16:53That sucks.
16:57Well, uh, let's go.
16:59We want to get a good seat, right?
17:00Wow.
17:01You're a fucking liar.
17:03You can read the letter yourself.
17:05Counseling is mandatory, or you will be suspended.
17:08This fucking bullshit.
17:09That doesn't change anything.
17:11You have no fucking right to do this to me.
17:12Listen, Nolan.
17:13I'm not doing anything to you.
17:14It's had nothing to do with...
17:16Bitch!
17:16Don't tell me what to do!
17:19Fuck, this is a fucking bullshit.
17:25I miss you.
17:26It's been two hours.
17:28I'm getting a new camera.
17:31You're going to shit.
17:32It's digital.
17:34Because I want to try it.
17:36I want to find out for myself what digital can do.
17:38Now, I know you're a purist.
17:40Just think of it as a really expensive toy.
17:43Okay.
17:44Later.
17:45I love you.
17:47It's declined.
17:48Oh, no.
17:48That's a mistake.
17:49Your computer screwed up.
17:50Do you have another card?
17:52No.
17:53Try that one again.
17:54It works.
18:00Hmm.
18:01Declined.
18:02What the fuck?
18:06I'm sorry.
18:08I don't understand.
18:09You have our whole lives there on paper.
18:10What makes us unsuitable parents?
18:11Keith did everything he was supposed to do.
18:13His record is clean.
18:14But yours is not.
18:17What?
18:18Look, I wish you'd been more honest with me.
18:20It would have saved us all a lot of work.
18:22What the hell do you mean?
18:23David.
18:24You were arrested in Las Vegas on May 25th, 2001
18:29for lewd and lascivious behavior in a public place with a male prostitute.
18:38I am so disappointed.
18:41I've devoted weeks to your case.
18:44Did you really think you could keep it a secret?
18:51Fucked up.
18:52I did not.
18:53You told me you took care of it.
18:55You said the arrest was expunged.
18:57That's what the Vegas cops said.
18:59Look, I didn't make you fuck that hooker and get busted.
19:02Smug dyke surely rubs it in my face.
19:04You fucked up and it cost us everything.
19:06Okay, the only reason I'm not screaming back at you right now is because I know how upset you are.
19:11Why am I the only one who's upset? Why aren't you freaking out?
19:14I am upset.
19:15But I have to drive the car and get us home alive while you freak out.
19:18Bullshit!
19:19You don't care!
19:20I do care!
19:22But it didn't cost us everything.
19:24As a surrogate, maybe we can get things going with her.
19:26You never wanted to adopt in the first place.
19:28You know what?
19:29Fuck this surrogate.
19:29You can meet her yourself.
19:30I don't want any part of it.
19:32Okay.
19:38I mean, I knew he was pissed off, but I did not see it coming.
19:42Boom!
19:43Bounces me off the wall twice.
19:46You have to be more careful with these kids when you don't know their pathology.
19:50They scared the shit out of me.
19:52Yeah.
19:53Gets the adrenaline pumping, doesn't it?
19:55Yeah.
19:58Oh, and I'm supposed to have dinner at my mother-in-law's tonight.
20:02Oh, how depressing.
20:05Why don't you come home and have dinner with us?
20:07Be compressed with the wacky filthons.
20:10Okay.
20:11Great.
20:13I'd love to.
20:14So then I called the bank and they said that there had been no money deposited.
20:17Can you fix this, please?
20:18I have to get a new camera.
20:20Claire, you're not enrolled in college this quarter.
20:22Who told you that?
20:24Your mother.
20:24You should have told me yourself.
20:27I'm taking some time off, so what?
20:29So you can't access the funds, I'm sorry.
20:32I beg your pardon.
20:33That is my money.
20:34My father gave it to me.
20:35He set up a trust to pay for your education, not support your lifestyle outside of the classroom.
20:40Um, it is not my lifestyle.
20:41It is my life.
20:42And I'm learning more now than I ever did in that pretentious art barn.
20:45You don't inherit free and clear until you're 25.
20:47The language is very specific.
20:48This is just like bureaucratic bullshit.
20:51And how am I supposed to move to Europe and fucking ripen when you won't give me my money?
20:55Your mother and I discussed this and we feel that it's in your best interest.
20:58And you don't even know me!
21:00Oh, shit!
21:01Shit!
21:06And he's waving his dick at me.
21:08Oh, man.
21:09And so I told him.
21:11Nothing's ever going to happen until you wax your back and your ass.
21:15And oh yeah, get out of my hot tub, you old geezer.
21:18I mean, was that wrong?
21:20Hell no.
21:20Oh, god.
21:22Hell no.
21:22You didn't invite him in the first place.
21:26You are goddamn hot.
21:29And you know it.
21:31The hair.
21:32The face.
21:34A little friggin' package.
21:40You're pretty damn hot yourself.
21:42Yeah!
21:44Yeah!
21:47Oh, wow.
21:48I was going to drive home to Fullerton tonight, but I guess not.
21:59You can go back to my room.
22:01That's a great idea.
22:03I'm starving.
22:04Can we order some room service?
22:10I'm not staying here.
22:12I'm at the Irvine Center Quality Inn down the block.
22:17It's okay.
22:19We'll find something.
22:21Let's get out of here.
22:24I set the table.
22:26Anything else I can do to help?
22:27No, dear.
22:27You just stay out from underfoot.
22:29I'll do everything.
22:30You don't have to.
22:31It's your job to entertain the guests.
22:33Yes, but I want to help you.
22:35So you say.
22:36But then you come back from the grocery empty-handed.
22:40Hey, hey, hey.
22:41Look who's here.
22:41It's Grandpa George.
22:43Hello, dear little one.
22:44How you doing, Mom?
22:45Fine.
22:46Fine.
22:46Everything's fine so far.
22:48Where's Brenda?
22:50You know, something came up at work.
22:52She couldn't make it.
22:54Oh, God.
22:54I got so lost.
22:57The 10, the 5, the 2, the 210, the 101.
23:00I'm late.
23:01Uh, Nate.
23:01This is my daughter, Maggie.
23:03Nice to meet you, Maggie.
23:04No, you're right on time.
23:06Hi, Nate.
23:06Hi.
23:09Who is this?
23:10This is Maya.
23:11It's my daughter.
23:12Oh, Maya.
23:13It's great to see us all together.
23:15Okay, okay.
23:16Everyone in the dining room.
23:17I have to finish dinner.
23:20Hi.
23:23Honey.
23:24Shoo, shoo.
23:38You've been turning into class drunk, which was something that we were beginning to address.
23:42He just went off on her.
23:44Oh, Brenda, that sucks.
23:45I know.
23:46Occupational hazard, I guess.
23:48Sure, but still, it sucks.
23:50You know, I should have just called Jackie Wright in.
23:52There is nothing more dangerous than an adolescent male.
23:55Not me.
23:56I just cook.
23:57He made the chicken.
23:58Really?
23:59I'm impressed.
23:59It's delicious.
24:00Thanks.
24:01I mean, joy of cooking.
24:02A monkey could make it.
24:04Mom got kicked in the stomach once.
24:06Really?
24:06Oh, that's nothing.
24:07Some kid threw a phone at Mark once.
24:09Yeah.
24:0910 stitches, so he wins.
24:11Nice.
24:11Here.
24:12Well, not really.
24:13He had a reason to throw something, but not at me.
24:16War stories and battle scars.
24:18Our parents, therapists on the front lines, as us.
24:22You know, my parents were therapists, too.
24:25A psychologist, psychiatrist.
24:26Really?
24:27Yeah.
24:28So you know what we go through.
24:29Well, I know what I went through.
24:31Too many hugs, all that support and understanding.
24:35Not exactly.
24:37Is your husband a therapist?
24:39Not officially, but sort of.
24:41So, do you guys discuss every little thing to death?
24:44I try.
24:47Once, we had to discipline Josh.
24:49Oh, they were all guilty about, you know, punishing him and he was crying.
24:54Like, I know why I have to go to my room.
24:56But why do we have to keep talking about it?
25:01Joshy.
25:01And that was just last week.
25:03We just walked to a jungle one day and a parrot flew down and landed on his shoulder and said,
25:08Hey, isn't your name Joshy?
25:10I said, hey, how do you know that?
25:12All those parrots know a lot of things, don't they?
25:17My father is really attached to your little girl.
25:19Yes.
25:20Took him a little while, but he's got it going on now.
25:22She's so adorable.
25:24Yeah.
25:25Best thing that ever happened to me.
25:28Sometimes I think she's the only thing that ever got right.
25:30I find that hard to believe.
25:33Yeah, my wife and I are trying for another one.
25:36Yeah, Ruth told me I'm sorry about it.
25:38Oh, yeah.
25:39Yeah, thanks.
25:42What about you?
25:43Are you married?
25:43Are you single?
25:44Oh, I broke up with someone right before I moved up to here from Phoenix.
25:48Oh, sorry?
25:49No, it's good.
25:51I was married for a while.
25:53A long time ago.
25:56You know, I work a lot, so it's easier for me to be on my own for now.
26:01Any desire for kids?
26:06I'm sorry, is that too personal?
26:08No.
26:11My husband, um, our son had ALL.
26:17It's acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
26:21I didn't make it.
26:22Oh, Megan.
26:25Jesus, I'm so sorry.
26:29I had no idea.
26:30I just...
26:31I can't imagine.
26:34Shit, Jesus.
26:35Yeah.
26:38When?
26:40Oh, he was two.
26:42So, it was...
26:44God, six years ago.
26:50Yeah.
26:51Yeah, time doesn't help, does it?
26:54Nope.
27:01My first wife...
27:02I heard.
27:05So, you know how it goes.
27:08Yeah.
27:11I'm two years old.
27:12I'm not.
27:24How can they do this to you?
27:25I know.
27:26It's not like I'm wasting the money.
27:28I'm living on it.
27:28It's your money.
27:29That's the fucking point.
27:30Apparently not until I'm 25.
27:32Oh, that's bullshit.
27:33That's bullshit.
27:34You know, what's the difference between 21 and 25?
27:36There's no difference.
27:37Look, if you can pay for us to get to Barcelona,
27:40once we're there, I can get a work visa and translate or something.
27:43I mean, I took Spanish.
27:44I learned fast.
27:45Maybe I'll pay for everything forever.
27:47I don't care about the fucking mom.
27:48I care that your family treats you like a crippled child.
27:52Either that or they ignore me.
27:54They always have.
27:56There's no reason I can talk about this anymore.
27:58There's nothing I can do.
27:59You can confront your mother.
28:01She won't listen.
28:03I'm on her fucking hit list.
28:04You don't deserve this.
28:05My father would be so pissed.
28:13There's a lot of candy put in the machine.
28:16It sometimes gets stale.
28:17I'm more of a salt and grease person.
28:20Fritos?
28:21Yeah, Fritos.
28:23I bought some of those little orange crackers too.
28:25Yeah, they're good.
28:26What's in them anyway?
28:29I think I have some more quarters.
28:30Oh, look, they've got bunions.
28:35I'm sorry.
28:40I overreacted.
28:41I just felt so guilty.
28:42I had to...
28:43Become a fucking lunatic?
28:44Who attacks the one person who loves you more than anybody?
28:52Yeah.
28:53Sorry.
28:59Why do you act like we're on different sides?
29:04Because I'm an idiot.
29:11It's not a competition.
29:15No matter how we get a child, we both win.
29:21Then we'll go to the surrogate together.
29:26You know when you apologize?
29:32You're one sexy motherfucker.
29:35I'm sorry.
29:39I'm sorry.
29:42I'm sorry I'm such a naughty, naughty, naughty boy.
29:48Oh, yeah.
29:49Oh, yeah.
29:49God, yes.
29:52Let's do it another way.
29:55Any way you want.
29:59Ooh.
30:00Ooh.
30:03Oh, my God!
30:05You're the cutest goddamn little fucker!
30:08Oh!
30:10Did you enjoy yourself tonight?
30:13I certainly did.
30:15I did, too.
30:16It was pleasant.
30:19It's such a relief to see you smile.
30:22Oh, how I hate to see those storm clouds gather.
30:25Very scary.
30:27Hurricane Ruth.
30:30I try to smile often.
30:32It's not something you can do on command.
30:40Please don't knit.
30:41I enjoy knitting.
30:44I deserve to knit.
30:46You pick those things up, you're a million miles away.
30:49I'm six inches to your right.
30:53Eighteen inches.
30:57We don't have to be attached to the hip.
31:00You're a grown man, for heaven's sake.
31:09You know, I want a strong, close family, too, Ruth.
31:14We can still do it.
31:17Can't we?
31:18I don't know, George.
31:19If you would give me a moment's peace.
31:26Okay.
31:33Okay.
32:04What are you doing?
32:05Breakfast in bed.
32:14Mmm.
32:15Good.
32:17This way we'll both be farting.
32:22Hey, will you do something for me?
32:25Sure.
32:26Come home for dinner tonight?
32:28I will if I can.
32:29Say that you will.
32:31Why?
32:32I'm gonna cook.
32:33Okay, but if I'm late, just grab something of mine, alright?
32:36I'll get something of Mom's.
32:37That's okay, we'll wait for you.
32:40What's up? Is this some big occasion I forgot about?
32:42No, I'd just really like us all to have dinner together.
32:46I'll do my best.
32:48I appreciate it.
32:59I'm gonna do it.
33:09Uh, I'll do it.
33:10I'll do it in my way too.
33:14I'm gonna do it.
33:15I just can't wait for it.
33:16I'm gonna do it.
33:17I'll do it.
33:18I'll do it.
33:18I'll do it.
33:18I don't know.
33:48Wake up! Wake up right now!
33:54George.
33:55George.
33:57What?
33:58I gave you this sandwich four days ago.
34:02We had baked potatoes and broccoli night before last.
34:05Why are they in your pockets?
34:07I wasn't hungry.
34:09I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
34:11So you hid the food in your clothes?
34:14I was saving it for later.
34:20I'm sorry.
34:21It's all right.
34:22But I don't want you to wear rotting food.
34:26Do I need to check the closet?
34:28No, no. I'll do it.
34:31Okay, then.
34:34I'm very sorry.
34:36It's nothing, dear.
34:52I think it's great that you still talk to each other.
34:55I mean, I guess with kids, you have to.
34:58What happened with your divorce?
35:01I don't know.
35:03It was like the relationship got cancer.
35:07The fast kind where nothing helps, and now we're both dead to each other.
35:14I kind of forgot what he looks like.
35:17That's so sad.
35:21You know, if you wanted to keep this going, we can...
35:28Actually, I have a boyfriend.
35:32He's not, like, great or anything, but I don't know if I'm ready to dump him yet.
35:38Anyway, you're still a married man.
35:41Oh.
35:42Right.
35:45Well, I really hope you find someone special.
35:49Rico!
35:51I'm here at the Irvine Center Quality Inn.
35:54And I just had my brain screwed loose.
35:57By a guy who can make a mutilated corpse look like a fucking movie star.
36:03Angela.
36:07So don't you be feeling sorry for me?
36:11Okay?
36:13I know it doesn't look like I have child-bearing hips.
36:18I really hadn't thought about that.
36:20I'm sure your hips are fine.
36:22Having babies is something I do very, very well.
36:25I'm incredibly fertile.
36:26I never get sick.
36:28My last labor was three hours.
36:31Other women have contractions for days.
36:33I guess I'm lucky.
36:34And how many children have you had?
36:36One on my own, and one for a couple in New Mexico.
36:39Beautiful, healthy girls.
36:41Debra in the office has pictures.
36:44Why did you decide to become a surrogate?
36:47It's not the money, if that's what you're thinking.
36:50My husband makes an excellent living in computers.
36:53No, it's just, you know, carrying a child for someone else.
36:57I mean, that can't be easy.
36:58Let me tell you a secret.
37:00A pregnant woman is the most beautiful woman in the world.
37:05Everybody talks to her.
37:06Everybody wants to touch her.
37:08It's like having a magical power to make people happy.
37:13The baby in New Mexico?
37:15How could you give her away?
37:17That's what's hard for me to understand.
37:19David, it's a mindset.
37:22She never belonged to me.
37:27And you have no problem with the parents being two gay men?
37:31I love gay men.
37:33When I was in college, gay men were my best friends.
37:36They certainly treated me better than my boyfriends.
37:41I'm exaggerating.
37:42You two seem so good together.
37:45I would love to have a baby for you.
37:52Jesus Christ, Mom, will you stop cleaning and talk to me?
37:55No, this isn't the time and there's nothing to say.
37:58Don't you think it's significant that whenever I make a decision for myself, you hate me?
38:02I don't hate you.
38:03I hate your choices.
38:04Look at me!
38:07I am an adult.
38:09My choices are none of your business.
38:11You had no right to call that lawyer.
38:13Dad loved me.
38:14He wanted me to be happy.
38:15That's why he left me the money.
38:17He did not intend to finance you while you play house with a crazy person.
38:20Look who's talking.
38:23He wanted you to be educated, to learn, to go to college.
38:26I am learning from life.
38:28You don't even know what college is.
38:29You never went.
38:30That was your choice.
38:31And now you hate yourself for it, so you're going to take it out on me?
38:33That is not true.
38:35Stop being such a controlling bitch and give me my money.
38:37I will hit you back this time.
38:41Billy and I are moving to Spain.
38:43And you can't stop us.
38:45Get out of my house!
38:59How's your taste?
39:01It's good.
39:03Had it before, right?
39:04No.
39:05This is new.
39:06Chicken and vegetable saute over herbed polenta triangles.
39:13It's good.
39:21You know they started pulling that great house down on the corner?
39:24Which one?
39:25That big craftsman?
39:26That's a drag.
39:27That's a cool house.
39:28Yeah.
39:33We should do this more often.
39:35Yeah.
39:37You know, I just want to have dinner like a family.
39:39Like a real family.
39:42Quit trying to be some fucking housefrau, all right?
39:44You're a rebel.
39:45You're a freak.
39:45We're never going to be a real family, no matter what you saute.
39:51Well, we are a real family.
39:54Oh.
39:54Yeah, I know.
39:55That didn't come out right.
39:57I just meant, you know, I'd like us to have more fun.
40:01Don't really connect.
40:05Well, we are connecting.
40:07I'm having fun.
40:08You're having fun, right?
40:09Uh-huh.
40:09Yeah, we're enjoying ourselves.
40:17Oh, my God.
40:19This is so much better than the one I was going to get.
40:22You didn't have to do this.
40:23Yes, I did.
40:25Oh, this is so cool.
40:27I can use all my lenses for my 35 with this.
40:30This is for both of us.
40:31We're going to share.
40:32No, no.
40:33I got one for myself, too.
40:36What?
40:38What is all this shit?
40:41Is we going to go to Beverly Hills and have, like, a shopping seizure?
40:46What are you going to do with this antique microscope?
40:49Oh, well, look forward and get ideas.
40:51Wait, wait, wait.
40:51These are the best.
40:52Close your eyes.
40:53Close your eyes.
40:54Yeah.
40:55Huh?
40:57You both leather fans?
40:59You are such a fucking rock star.
41:21Oh, that was lovely.
41:28Oh, that was lovely.
41:30A little too sad for me.
41:33But very true to life.
41:40Now, I'm going to take a bath so you two have some time alone.
41:43Oh, Ruth, you don't have to do that.
41:44That's okay.
41:46Does everyone have everything they need?
41:50Yes, dear.
41:52Goodbye.
41:53I mean, good night.
42:09Daddy, what's wrong?
42:14I'm going to get Ruth.
42:15No.
42:16Don't.
42:17Please.
42:21You've got to help me, Maggie.
42:23What do you mean?
42:24What do you want me to do?
42:26I'm having more symptoms.
42:28I need another shock treatment before it gets worse.
42:32Oh, Daddy.
42:34But you mustn't tell her.
42:35Okay?
42:36I have to.
42:38She's your wife.
42:39She wants to know.
42:40No.
42:42No, she doesn't.
42:44Believe me.
42:45Can you just make the appointment, take me to the doctor and bring me home?
42:50I don't feel right about not telling Ruth.
42:55I love her, Maggie.
42:59If I lose her, I'm finished.
43:03Please.
43:06I want to keep her.
43:11Please help me.
43:17I will.
43:21I will.
43:27Bye.
43:30Bye.
43:34Bye.
43:36Bye.
43:38Bye.
