00:01Instead of seeing this stupid play...
00:04Janice is my best friend. This is her only son.
00:07I think it was very nice of him to invite us. He's usually a very private person.
00:11I'm not gonna go find him afterwards and tell him what a brilliant director he is.
00:15Yes, you are.
00:17Why do people invite anybody to anything?
00:19I have no idea.
00:20Would you please?
00:20Let's go home, Masha.
00:22I'm staying here tonight.
00:24Masha, let's go. The baby must be hungry.
00:27Nonsense, Matronia will feed him.
00:29It's a shame. Three nights now without his mother.
00:32You are becoming tiresome.
00:34In the old days, at least you'd philosophize a little, but now it's always home and baby, home and baby.
00:39That's all I ever hear from you.
00:40Let's go, Masha.
00:42Go, yes.
00:43Father won't give me a wholeness.
00:48I'll try.
00:49Peter?
00:50Shh. Will you come home tomorrow?
00:53Yes, tomorrow. Stop fighting me.
00:59Peter?
01:00Peter.
01:01Peter.
01:01Peter asked us.
01:02There's something wrong with my...
01:05He, um...
01:06Oh, uh, did he ask us to make a pet for him in Costia's room?
01:10Can you talk to me?
01:10Uh, yeah.
01:12Oh, people are like children.
01:14Well, I'm going.
01:15Goodbye, Masha.
01:16Goodbye, Mother.
01:17Peter?
01:18Peter!
01:19Oh, my God.
01:20No!
01:23What should we do?
02:15Hello?
02:23Who is this?
02:26Who is this?
02:29Where is my wife?
02:31And where is my daughter?
02:53Hello?
02:54Nate, it's Maggie.
02:57Are you okay?
02:57What's wrong?
02:59Um, I'm sorry to bother you.
03:03I don't know who else to call.
03:05That's okay.
03:06What's going on?
03:07Who is it?
03:14David, can't find the sports section.
03:17Nope, I didn't.
03:19Have you seen it anywhere?
03:21No.
03:22The delivery guy probably forgot to put it in again.
03:25He stinks.
03:26Okay, then I'm out of here.
03:27I'm going to be late for Rogers.
03:29That's fine.
03:29I have everything under control here.
03:32You know, I've been noticing how much I've been watching my temper.
03:37I'm really trying to be patient.
03:39But those boys are not easy.
03:40Yes, I know they're not easy.
03:42And if I forget, you remind me once a day.
03:46Would you listen to him?
03:47He's just a sweet little kid, basically.
03:53Yeah, I guess so.
04:08Durell, what the hell are you doing now?
04:10Watch your TV.
04:11David, turn that off.
04:11You can't find the remote.
04:13You can never find the remote.
04:16Where did you find us?
04:17Those tapes were in a locked box underneath a pile of old Ralph Lauren sheets underneath our bed.
04:22Well, then you know where I found them.
04:26Uh, Durell, from now on, when something is in a locked box underneath a pile of old sheets, that means
04:35it's private.
04:37Fine.
04:40Great.
04:42Can we get ready for school? We want to be really late again.
04:45Shit.
04:46I mean, shoot.
04:47Get dressed, you guys.
04:48Come on.
04:48Now.
04:49Let's go.
04:55That went well.
04:58Hey, Kirsten, you coming to docs tonight?
05:00Yeah, baby.
05:01I was going to my parents, but thank God my mom has a staph infection.
05:05Hey, Johnny, you coming?
05:06Yeah, baby.
05:07How about it, Claire?
05:09Uh, hang on.
05:10I just have to finish this one thing.
05:15There.
05:16Yeah, a bunch of us are going to docs after work.
05:19The bar in the mall?
05:21Doc Hannigan's.
05:23That's just because it's the closest place, and then they have pictures.
05:26Everyone from work goes there.
05:28I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
05:29Come on, Claire.
05:30You think your shit don't stink?
05:32No, I think my shit stinks.
05:34Great.
05:35So you coming then?
05:36Um, maybe another time.
05:39Okay, fine.
05:40I guess we'll just have to talk about you all night.
05:43Yeah, baby.
05:50There's something nice about being alone.
05:52It's like finally I can just relax.
05:57I made George the focus of my life.
05:59First when we got married, and then even more so when he got sick.
06:02It's just not healthy, right?
06:04One person's healthy, is another person's sick.
06:07Some women have to make someone else the focus of their life, or they lose their mind.
06:11No judgements.
06:14It's an exciting time for me.
06:16There's a whole world out there I've been missing.
06:18Are you managing to keep yourself busy?
06:20Am I ever.
06:21There's so many cultural events in this city that I've always wanted to participate in.
06:25Last week, I learned all about Kabbalah at the Skirball Center.
06:28And Dutton's in Brentwood is having a Jay McInerney reading the day after next.
06:32Now, who's that?
06:33He's the guy who wrote Bright Lights Big City.
06:35I knew his old Coke dealer.
06:36Sweet guy.
06:37It's the 20th anniversary of that book.
06:39I figured it was time for me to finally read it.
06:42Oh, Victoria.
06:43Your get-together is tomorrow night already.
06:46Don't worry.
06:47Everyone's invited.
06:49Do you need anything?
06:50I could bring my famous potato salad.
06:52That's sweet, but please don't worry.
06:53Everything's taken care of.
06:58So it's between this one and this one.
07:02Which one do you like better?
07:03I like this one.
07:05Yeah.
07:06But this one's nice.
07:08Exactly.
07:10Oh, they're both great.
07:13Excuse me.
07:15Thanks.
07:18Hello?
07:20Yes?
07:23Yes?
07:27Okay.
07:32Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:36Sure.
07:39Thanks.
07:44So have you decided?
07:47I'll come back sometime.
07:53I didn't have this appointment in the books.
07:56Maggie called me in the middle of the night.
07:57The deceased is a friend of hers from church.
08:01Maggie is a Quaker?
08:02Yeah.
08:04George was a Quaker.
08:05No.
08:05No.
08:06She converted when she got married.
08:08Exactly our Quakers.
08:10They're very peaceful.
08:13Yeah.
08:13Well, everyone knows that.
08:15Have you seen Rico?
08:17He said he had something important to do.
08:19I'll be right in.
08:21Hello?
08:24Obviously, these are not the results we expected.
08:26But there's no reason to assume the worst.
08:30The blood test was positive, which indicates potentially that the baby may have some sort of disorder.
08:35Like what?
08:37Such as Downs or Spina Bifida.
08:40However, this test is extremely inconclusive.
08:43Over 95% of babies who test positive have neither of these two things.
08:46Well, so what's the point of it then?
08:48To get more information.
08:50Given these results, I recommend we do an amniocentesis.
08:53I didn't even want to take the stupid test. Everyone said it was going to be fine.
08:56I want to schedule the amnio for as soon as possible.
08:59No need to panic yet.
09:01Yeah, right.
09:06Hey.
09:07Hey, what are you doing home?
09:09Well, uh, I made up a story and got off of work for a few hours because I knew it
09:14was your day off.
09:15Day off, right.
09:16I went grocery shopping, cleaned up the kitchen, and I'm in the middle of my fourth load of laundry.
09:19It's been a real party.
09:21You don't look busy now.
09:23It's my first chance to get a breath. I'm reading.
09:25Mm-hmm.
09:27Oh, Rico?
09:28Yeah?
09:28What are you doing?
09:29Trying to relax you.
09:31I can relax myself.
09:35As long as you're here, you can take out your stuff in the back closet like you said you were
09:38three days ago.
09:41Oh.
09:43Sure.
09:48I don't know why you wouldn't go out with those people.
09:52Sometimes you think you're better than everyone else.
09:54Hopefully I am.
09:55Well, you're not.
09:57Anyway, I'm exhausted.
09:58I had no idea doing nothing all day.
10:00It could be so tiring.
10:02When I was your age, I had so much energy.
10:07Besides, I want to try to do some work tonight.
10:10Oh.
10:10What are you working on now?
10:11No.
10:11Actually, nothing.
10:13I am totally dry.
10:15I haven't even been to my desk in weeks because every time I sit down and try to think of
10:19how I want to express myself, I just come up empty.
10:22It's like this giant abyss with total, like, stillness.
10:25It's...
10:27It's kind of the loneliest feeling in the entire world.
10:33Oh.
10:36Well, you better hurry up and change.
10:39Dinner will be ready soon.
10:43Oh.
10:44Those stupid telemarketers.
10:45You know, I'm going to become more involved in those organizations to get them outlawed.
10:49Hello.
10:51Oh, hello, George.
10:54Come over tonight?
10:55No.
10:56I don't see why this...
11:00Fine.
11:01I'm very busy, but I'll try and stop by tomorrow afternoon.
11:04I'm sorry, George.
11:04I can't chat now.
11:06Okay, bye.
11:12Is he okay?
11:13I'm sure he's fine.
11:15Whatever's going on with him, I'm not going to get sucked into it.
11:17I have my own life now.
11:19Well, maybe he's just lonely.
11:20You seem a lot more sympathetic to him now than you did when he was living here.
11:25It's always easier to be nice to people when you don't have to see them.
11:33You don't even know what an integer is.
11:35I think so.
11:36Gada, gada, gada.
11:38Gada, gada, gada.
11:40I mean, I have a basic idea of what an integer is.
11:43Integers are numbers.
11:44Blah, blah, blah.
11:48Am I in trouble?
11:50Of course not, but maybe you should listen to your music in the other room.
11:54I'll just stay here and be quiet.
11:59Okay.
12:00Where were we?
12:01Integers.
12:01David?
12:02I thought you said you were going to be quiet.
12:04I think something's burning.
12:06Fuck.
12:07Alright, it was wrong of me to say that.
12:09We don't use language like that.
12:11Can I get back?
12:12Of course, Narelle. You live here now.
12:14You don't have to ask if you can get the phone.
12:17Hello?
12:19Oh, hey.
12:22It's your lover.
12:24Do I have a lover?
12:27From now on, you can just say it's Keith.
12:29Yes, master.
12:29Darelle, I told you I don't like that joke.
12:31Give me my disc menu, little grimy apple!
12:34Get both of you out of here, now!
12:36Just get out of this room!
12:37Boy!
12:38Hello.
12:41Hey, I'm not going to make it for dinner.
12:43Sissy and the kids are in town.
12:45I've got to take them to Joffrey's in Malibu.
12:46Well, la-di-da.
12:48What's that supposed to mean?
12:49You know what? Nothing.
12:51I'm just in the middle of five things here.
12:53You have fun and I'll see you later.
13:09What are you doing?
13:11I was just cleaning things up.
13:13You're reading my private stuff.
13:16I thought we had rules about other people's private stuff.
13:23You suffered from a lot of self-esteem issues, right, Dr. Leonard?
13:26Yes.
13:27A lot of those stem from her childhood traumas.
13:29But some stem from the size of her nose and her weak chin.
13:32Those are the ones that I could do something about.
13:34Are you pleased with the results?
13:36I am, but Mary's going to be the real judge.
13:38When she looks into the mirror for the first time tonight...
13:49Well, you didn't tell me what time I need to get off work tomorrow.
13:53Just come home whenever you want.
13:56No, I mean, did you hear what time we're supposed to go in for the, uh, the amnio?
14:01You know, I've been thinking I don't really think the amnio is such a good idea.
14:07Well, Melnick seemed to think it was.
14:09She acted like we had to have it.
14:11No.
14:12No, she said the results were very inconclusive.
14:15I think we should just move on and try not to think about it.
14:19But I thought we decided that we were going to...
14:21No, I didn't decide anything.
14:23I don't want an amnio.
14:25You know they can cause miscarriage.
14:29What are we going to do?
14:30Well, we wait for a later ultrasound and then we get more information.
14:33But if there's a problem, we should know about it now.
14:36Why?
14:39So that we can take care of it.
14:41What does that mean?
14:42Come on, you know what that means.
14:43I don't want to get rid of this baby, and I'm not going to no matter what.
14:46If we find out there's a problem, then we'll deal with that then.
14:49Okay.
14:50If that's how you feel.
14:52Yeah, that's how I feel.
14:56Is it how you feel?
15:00I don't know.
15:10I don't know.
15:11I don't know.
15:11You have to know where's the right to go.
15:13What is the big deal?
15:15You were at some assembly and he didn't invite us, so what?
15:19You're his parents, Keith.
15:20We're supposed to go see him in school things.
15:24What did he say when you asked him why he didn't invite us?
15:28He smumbled something about killing us if he tried to go to it.
15:31Well, maybe we should listen to him and not go.
15:36I couldn't sleep all night thinking about having all this porn in the house.
15:42Shit!
15:44Help me, you asshole.
15:49What's his reason for not wanting us to go to the assembly?
15:52This one we're keeping.
15:56Do you think it's because we're gay and he's ashamed of us?
16:00He's not the one that's ashamed about us being gay.
16:02This is not about being gay. It's about porn.
16:05Probably something as simple as he doesn't want us there to see him forget his lines
16:08and get that dumbass look that kids get on their face and those things.
16:12Maybe.
16:13We better get going. He's got another huge bag in the back.
16:30Federico, can you tell me if this mayonnaise has gone bad?
16:33Oh, mayonnaise smells bad to me.
16:43Making your potato salad, huh?
16:45What's the big occasion?
16:47We're going to a party tonight at Victoria Adams' house.
16:51She was in war for me.
16:52Oh, yeah. I saw that show once or twice.
16:55Seems sort of stupid.
16:57She's a friend of mine.
16:58Oh, I'm sorry.
17:03So, uh, yeah, how are things with you now?
17:07Now that you're, you know, single?
17:11They're wonderful.
17:12I've been to a lot of interesting cultural events lately.
17:15In fact, if you want to, you could come to a Jay McInerney reading with me tomorrow.
17:21Oh, um, I'll take a pass. I've got to be with Vanessa and the kids.
17:26I understand.
17:32You think this has too much dill?
17:37You must be very happy now that you're back with Vanessa.
17:40Vanessa's a very forgiving woman.
17:42Actually, she isn't.
17:44She never wants to sleep with me.
17:47No matter what I do or say, I can't get her to look at me with that same hunger she
17:50used to have.
17:51So painful.
17:53The most horrible part is, when I look at her, I still get so fucking hard.
17:57You know, masturbating can relieve some of the tension.
18:00There were long periods in my marriage to Nathaniel, and he was constantly masturbating.
18:04I want passion.
18:06I want my wife to want me so bad that every time I walk by, she wants to squeeze my
18:10ass or grab my...
18:11Federico?
18:14Uh, yeah.
18:16Too much dill.
18:21So finally, I say to these guys at the next table, look, here's the line, and here's you.
18:29Hey.
18:30Oh, hey, Ted.
18:31Hey.
18:32Oh, Marianne, you think I can get those asbestos documents later today?
18:35Oh, yeah, sure.
18:36Is five of a cock okay?
18:37Yeah, baby.
18:43That's great.
18:43What is that?
18:44Oh, it's nothing.
18:47I'm Ted, by the way.
18:47We haven't met.
18:48Claire.
18:50Yeah, Ted's the lowest paid lawyer in the office, so you don't have to suck up to him as much
18:53as the rest.
18:55You guys look like you were having fun last night.
18:58Marianne, were those guys at the next table trying to pick you up?
19:01Yeah, baby.
19:02Are you going to go tonight?
19:04I'm going to try and make it.
19:06Later.
19:07Bye, Ted.
19:08Later.
19:10Later.
19:11Later.
19:36Oh, hey, it's me.
19:37Do you want to have lunch?
19:51Do you want to have lunch?
20:10Oh, I'm sorry I'm late, darling, but I was just in the middle of all this paperwork.
20:15Yeah, so I see.
20:19Okay, okay, cat's out of the bag.
20:23What do you think of it?
20:24Did you see his ass?
20:25No, I didn't.
20:27Who's this person?
20:28Oh, he's this brilliant therapist who studied with Gareth Feinberg.
20:31Actually, you know what?
20:32I think we met him once a long time ago.
20:34Anyway, so we ran into each other at a party a couple weeks ago.
20:37You know, one thing led to the other.
20:40You know how that is.
20:41No, not really.
20:42Don't judge me, dear.
20:44God, I wonder if anybody else saw us.
20:47What's the big deal?
20:48Don't you and Olivier have rules like you and Dad did?
20:50Oh, if only Olivier were that emotionally mature.
20:54No, he has some very antiquated ideas about relationships.
20:57Yeah, well, people are strange.
21:01Darling, let's try and have some nice girl time, shall we?
21:06Isn't that why you call?
21:09Yeah, I guess so.
21:12So, I've been thinking this baby's going to wreak havoc on your body.
21:15Let me give you the number of this brilliant gyrotonic trainer who will just change your life.
21:20I can't wait.
21:22So, that's the end of the walkthrough.
21:25Don't worry about tomorrow.
21:26We will take care of everything.
21:28Uh, well, one more thing.
21:30There isn't going to be another funeral in the other room.
21:33No, of course not.
21:34I can assure you, you won't hear anything during your silent centering time.
21:39Except a few grumbling tummies, I suppose.
21:44Oh, Mrs. Burns, if you wouldn't mind signing some of those forms I told you about.
21:48Of course.
21:56Silent centering time?
21:58Silent worship.
22:00We believe that God is within all of us.
22:03If we get together and are silent, hopefully we each hear something from God.
22:09What if you don't?
22:11You make something up.
22:13At least I do.
22:17How do you know God's not telling you what to make up?
22:23Maybe is something wrong?
22:27You sure you don't want anything?
22:29I had an enormous sandwich for lunch.
22:33Okay.
22:36You didn't happen to read Paul Krugman's editorial this morning, did you?
22:41He had this marvelous take on Bush's...
22:44George, why did you want to see me?
22:50This period of being alone has been very difficult for me, Ruth.
22:55And, well, I've been doing a lot of thinking.
22:57I'm not getting back together with you.
23:00I know that.
23:01I just wanted to talk to you about getting a divorce.
23:04Oh.
23:06Well, of course, that's what I want, too.
23:10Apparently, we just have to live for six months in separate residences, then file some papers.
23:16Um, I think we should get a quicker divorce.
23:20I've been doing some research, and if one of us flies to, say, Haiti for the weekend, we can take
23:25care of this thing a lot sooner.
23:27Is this really necessary?
23:29I think it'll be healthier for our psyches if we just, you know, move on.
23:34You want to fly to Haiti for a quickie divorce just for our psyches?
23:43Ruth, I'm engaged.
23:48Her name is Joyce Solomon.
23:51I met her at a tea at Dean Kekalos' house.
23:54She's a woman's studies professor visiting this semester.
23:59We were both raised in Missouri.
24:01I guess I should have expected this.
24:05Boy, I am some fool, all right.
24:08Listen, I know how this must sound to you, but...
24:13I'm in love.
24:17I think I should go.
24:20Do you want to talk about your feelings?
24:23Strangely enough, I don't think I have any.
24:29Goodbye, George.
24:35First off, the chances are that everything's going to be okay with this baby.
24:41But even if it's not, it could still be okay.
24:47How can you, of all people, say that?
24:53When the doctors first told me that Jesse was sick,
24:58I was so scared.
25:01We had to give him all these shots, made him scream.
25:06And then there were all the useless operations.
25:10But Nate, all the horrible things don't take away from what he gave me.
25:18The first time that Jesse laughed,
25:22he used to,
25:25he used to get so excited to look at the moon.
25:29He was only two, but
25:31he was a person.
25:33An amazing person.
25:38And he was here
25:39such a short time, I feel
25:42just incredibly lucky that
25:44I got to know him.
25:47He made me a bigger person.
25:49And that's something
25:51all children do.
25:58You guys don't want your parents
25:59going to school things, right?
26:01Not really.
26:02Mom always tries to get the teachers
26:03to validate her parenting.
26:05And Dad always slabbers over Mr. Genetti,
26:07the guy who teaches shop.
26:08I knew I was right.
26:10David thinks that
26:10we should go to Darrell's assembly
26:12against his will,
26:13but you agree with me.
26:14Absolutely.
26:15It sounds like Darrell's trying to
26:16assert his individual identity.
26:18At least for now.
26:19Gradually, he'll come to have
26:21some sort of familial identity.
26:22The important thing is
26:23not to force it.
26:24Let him initiate at his own pace.
26:25I gotta write these things
26:26down for David.
26:28Oh, don't worry, I'll do it.
26:29Oh, uh, thanks.
26:33All right, Kirsten,
26:34meet me at the elevator.
26:36First I have to go potty.
26:37Yeah, baby.
26:38Hey, John, are you coming?
26:39Yeah, baby,
26:40but I'll meet you there.
26:44Uh, Johnny?
26:45Hey, have a good night, Claire.
26:46Oh, I was wondering,
26:48are you guys going to docks?
27:06I'm so glad you could make it.
27:08I really want you to meet
27:09my friend Mitchell.
27:11And what is this?
27:13It's nothing, I just...
27:14Your famous potato salad.
27:16Now I remember.
27:16I told you not to bring
27:19anything, you devil.
27:21Here.
27:22Let's just put it here
27:24with everything else.
27:26It's too big.
27:27So just push this stuff aside.
27:30There.
27:32Perfect.
27:35Now start mingling.
27:37No one's going to bite you.
27:39Well, maybe if you're lucky,
27:40someone will.
27:53You know, I'm really not
27:54drawn to mechanical animals.
27:57Me neither.
27:58Actually, not really drawn
27:59to live animals.
28:02So, uh, are you seeing anyone?
28:05Oh, uh, I was living with this guy
28:07for a while.
28:08I won't do this.
28:10What happened?
28:11Oh, we broke up.
28:13And now I hear he's left town.
28:14Probably to go to some
28:15overpriced loony bin.
28:17He's kind of a nut job.
28:22I don't know why I just said that.
28:24He's a great guy.
28:26He's really unique.
28:28And the whole thing was just...
28:30No, I don't think I was ready
28:32for something real,
28:32like something with challenges.
28:34And he was in a different place than me.
28:36He's a little older.
28:36I'm seeing an older guy.
28:39Actually, he's just
28:40a year and a half older.
28:41Really?
28:42What's he do?
28:44Liar.
28:46Yeah.
28:48From the office.
28:49We're trying to keep it quiet.
28:51Oh, my God.
28:52Who is he?
28:55What, Ted?
28:58Oh.
29:00I've never seen you two together.
29:02Oh, well, we're trying
29:03to be cool about it.
29:04I mean, it's still sort of new.
29:06See, we hooked up
29:07at Hong Fu's birthday party
29:08in November.
29:09Then, we didn't talk
29:10for like a month.
29:11Then, we were both here
29:12a couple weeks ago
29:13and ended up fooling around
29:14in the guy's bathroom.
29:16It's really rank in there.
29:19So, now you're dating?
29:21Well, I think we will be soon.
29:23And we just need to take it
29:24to that next place
29:25as soon as he deals
29:26with some of his intimacy issues.
29:29Sure.
29:30I get it.
29:32I really should watch
29:33more sitcoms.
29:34I keep meaning to,
29:35but I never know
29:36when they're on.
29:38I just did a spot
29:39on the new
29:40Jennifer Love Hewitt show.
29:41Oh, sweet girl.
29:48Well, Mitchell.
29:52Yeah.
30:01You look so forlorn
30:04standing here all alone.
30:07Let's circle and see
30:08if we can find
30:08some nice, quirky guy
30:10for you.
30:11Thanks, Cindy,
30:12but I don't think so.
30:13Oh, come on, Ruth.
30:14It'll be fun.
30:15No, it won't be fun.
30:16I am seven million years old
30:18and I have this emptiness
30:19that won't go away.
30:20I've gone everywhere
30:21and I've done everything.
30:22I even went to
30:23the stupid Skirball Center
30:24and I am still all alone.
30:27Everyone else gets
30:27to find someone
30:28just like that.
30:29So, I'm done.
30:30That's it.
30:31I just want to be left alone
30:31so I can shrivel up
30:32in peace.
30:33Please.
30:34Okay.
30:46Thanks.
30:49Thanks.
31:03Thanks.
31:09Yeah, baby.
31:11Yeah, baby.
31:12Claire.
31:14Oh, hey.
31:16I've been doing
31:16some research on you.
31:18Really?
31:19Yeah, I heard you're like
31:19this amazing artist
31:21at a show and everything.
31:22It's pretty impressive.
31:24Oh, I think you have me
31:25confused with someone else.
31:27Really?
31:28I don't think so.
31:34So, what are you?
31:35Like some guy
31:35who always knew
31:36he wanted to be a lawyer?
31:38To tell you the truth,
31:39it was just the easiest path
31:40for me.
31:40I like being a lawyer.
31:43It's just one part
31:44of my life.
31:46Sounds interesting.
31:50If you're really interested,
31:51maybe sometime
31:52I can show you
31:52the other parts.
31:56I should be getting
31:57back to the table.
31:59Do you want to join us?
32:03I should get back
32:05to my friends.
32:08I don't care what
32:09those two freaks
32:10of nature said.
32:11I am going to this
32:12assembly tomorrow
32:13and that's that.
32:13Why?
32:14Because it's important.
32:17Kids should look out
32:17into the audience
32:18and have someone
32:19rooting for them.
32:20You know,
32:21when I was in seventh grade,
32:22I was a sailor
32:22and anything goes.
32:23I know.
32:24You bring it up
32:25once a week.
32:26Well,
32:27my mother came,
32:28but my father didn't.
32:30Why not?
32:31Plane crash.
32:32She had to deal
32:32with a whole family
32:33that died.
32:34But we had this ritual
32:36in my family
32:37that whenever one of us
32:38was in a thing
32:38at school,
32:39we would always go
32:40to Marie Callender's
32:41for Boston Cream Pie
32:42after.
32:42I hate Boston Cream Pie.
32:45Anyway,
32:46we went without him,
32:47but it wasn't the same.
32:49I still say
32:50take men to have a point.
32:51Of course you do.
32:52What's that supposed to mean?
32:53Keith,
32:54you'll seize on anything
32:55not to be a parent
32:56to these two kids.
32:57You're barely here.
32:58I have to work.
32:58And when you are here,
32:59you hardly talk to them.
33:00I'm not allowed to.
33:01You made sure of that.
33:02I just don't want you
33:03to yell at them.
33:04That doesn't mean
33:04you have to avoid them.
33:07This whole thing sucks.
33:08I'm doing this all alone
33:09without getting any credit
33:10for being a single parent.
33:12Fine.
33:13Then you can go
33:13by yourself tomorrow
33:14because I think
33:15it's the wrong thing to do.
33:16Don't you feel
33:17anything for these poor kids?
33:18Don't you have a soul?
33:19Of course I have a soul.
33:21It's a terrible thing
33:22to say about your partner.
33:23Yeah, well,
33:24it's a terrible thing
33:24to feel about your partner.
33:39Oh, wow.
33:43Oh.
33:48Whew.
33:50Wow.
33:52That was amazing.
33:54That's nice, sweetie.
34:10That's okay.
34:13You don't have to do that.
34:16What do you mean?
34:17Don't you want to come?
34:19No, I'm good.
34:23Oh.
34:25Okay.
34:36So now my mother is fucking this guy once a week after his Gestalt seminar.
34:41Don't you think she's depressing?
34:44Not really.
34:46What's depressing is her being with some asshole who pontificates about art all the time.
34:50I'm good to break your mother's having a good time.
34:53Huh.
34:56What about Penelope?
34:58Who's Penelope?
34:59Her name for the baby if it's a girl.
35:02I don't really feel like talking about baby names right now.
35:08Well, is there something you want to talk about?
35:10Yes, I hate the name Penelope. Penelope's pretentious.
35:13Penelope thinks she's so great when she's not.
35:15I didn't even know anybody would want a Penelope.
35:17You're really mad at me, aren't you?
35:19Spare me.
35:21Well, okay, so what?
35:22You want me to go to a doctor, make sure everything's alright with the baby, and if it isn't you
35:25want me to kill it?
35:25Jesus, you don't have to put it that way.
35:27Well?
35:28Yes!
35:28That's what I want.
35:29And I don't see what's wrong with that.
35:31We can try again.
35:35I was just talking with Maggie and she was telling me how difficult it is and how many sacrifices that
35:40she had to make when her child was sick.
35:42How many financial problems she and her husband ended up having and just how fucking hard it is.
35:48Did she regret having him?
35:51Look, that is not the point.
35:52Why not?
35:53Because you and I aren't Maggie.
35:54She's better than we are.
35:55What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
35:57And what about Maya?
35:58Bringing a sick child into the house would be very difficult for her.
36:01It's not fair.
36:02I mean, did you think of her?
36:03Did you ever think of her?
36:04I think Maya would love whoever this child is.
36:07She's a very loving person.
36:09Oh, unlike me.
36:54Brenda!
36:55Brenda!
36:55Oh, shit!
36:57Brenda, honey!
37:01Hi! Don't you hear me?
37:04Oh, God. No, sorry.
37:06Oh, well, don't mind me. I'm just dropping this off. It's for the baby.
37:10You just popped in unexpectedly to drop off an expensive gift?
37:15Uh, well, Olivier was asking some questions about how come lunch took so long.
37:20I see.
37:22I need you to cover for me, honey, just in case he calls you in one of his drunken rages.
37:29Well, why don't we just open this up so you can tell me why the baby won't like it?
37:37Honey?
37:46I'm really glad you decided to come. It means a lot to me.
37:50Yeah, well, I've always wanted to see the musical celebration of biodiversity.
37:56Now, remember, if you see Darrell look in our direction, just scrunch down.
38:01What do you mean?
38:01I didn't tell him we were going to be here.
38:03Why not?
38:05Because I'm scared of him.
38:07I thought the whole point of this was to give him emotional support.
38:10We are. He just doesn't know it.
38:12Let's keep it that way.
38:13Oh, it's starting.
38:20We are plants.
38:23We are animals.
38:27We are people and we share this planet.
38:32Oh, really, darling.
38:33I don't see what the big deal is.
38:34Oh, thanks, Mom.
38:35That makes me feel a lot better.
38:36Oh, well, all couples have these kinds of disagreements.
38:40You think I didn't want to abort you and Billy?
38:43But your father talked me out of it both times, and the rest is history.
38:48Honey, the most important thing is that you and Nate are a team.
38:51You have to see each other as allies, not as enemies.
38:55Well, how do I do that?
38:57Well, honestly, by looking at it from his side.
38:59Do you really think he has a point?
39:00Actually, I do.
39:02I mean, life is so fucking hard even when it's easy.
39:05So why not try and make it less challenging if we can?
39:12I understand.
39:14No, I can hold.
39:19Is someone there?
39:23Hello?
39:27How can I help you?
39:29I'm not sure.
39:31I was supposed to go to a Jay McInerney book signing, but somehow when I got in the car, I
39:35drove over here and looked you up in the directory, and now here I am.
39:42I'm Ruth.
39:44George Sibley's wife.
39:46You're Joy Solomon, his fiancee, right?
39:48Um, no, I'm still here, but I think I need to call you back.
39:59But if I mind too much, it'll cause water pollution.
40:03I am an elm tree. Don't overplant me. I need to be surrounded by other trees.
40:19Or else I'll die of Dutch elm disease.
40:24Or else I'll die of Dutch elm disease.
40:53I need to be surrounded by other trees.
40:53We've been, oh, three.
40:57Why did you even have a bomb shelter?
40:59But that's not the point.
41:00The point is he barricaded himself down there, looking like some kind of mountain man.
41:04When they finally pulled him out and put him in the mental hospital, well, that's when the really crazy stuff
41:08began.
41:09Please stop.
41:13I knew he seemed a little too good to be true, but I didn't care.
41:17I was just so happy to meet someone who said he wouldn't mind having children.
41:21Oh, my God, children.
41:24George means well, I suppose, but he's not exactly great father material.
41:28What do you mean?
41:29I can give you his son Kyle's phone number.
41:32He's sweet, but scarred for life.
41:37It's not in here.
41:39I can just call with it later.
41:43You seem...
41:45How do I know you're not just some crazy person?
41:47Do I look like a crazy person?
41:49A little.
41:52I am trying to protect someone like I wish someone had protected me.
41:56Well, maybe none of this is really true.
41:57Maybe you're just some bitter, angry psychopath.
42:00I am not angry.
42:04dad said he came with me, Lord.
42:05Oh, God.
42:05Oh, God.
42:07Oh, God.
42:07Wait.
42:07Oh, God.
42:08Oh, God.
42:09Oh, God.
42:10Oh, God.
42:14Oh, God.
42:34Hey.
42:35Hey.
42:38Hi, Brenda.
42:39I'm Maggie.
42:43Well, I guess I will take my seat.
42:50It was sort of a bad time, but I can talk for a second.
42:53What's up?
42:58I came here to say that I felt I'd been a bit stubborn.
43:03Well, somehow this whole thing has come down to a choice between my marriage and this child,
43:08and it seemed reckless to risk my marriage overtaking some stupid test.
43:14Great.
43:16But now that I'm standing here looking at you,
43:22we've been so separate for a long time.
43:26It's like we're together, but we're not together.
43:30And I've been thinking that it's me, that it's my fears or my hormones,
43:35but I think that it's you.
43:38It's us.
43:44Listen, Brent.
43:45No, don't touch me.
43:46Come in.
43:48How can I make you feel better?
43:49What do you want me to do?
43:49Oh, God, just do what you want.
43:51For once in your life, just do what you want.
43:54Not what you think people want or what you should do.
43:58Because I don't give up the fuck anymore.
44:00Just wait.
44:02Wait.
44:06Wait.
44:07Wait.
44:08Wait.
44:13Oh, hey.
44:14Hey.
44:22Sorry.
44:23Excuse me.
44:24Oh, sure.
44:37You know, I was an artist before I started working here.
44:41Uh, what?
44:42I was in art school, I mean.
44:45But I dropped out.
44:46Because I was sick of it.
44:47And I thought I'd have more time to, you know, just create.
44:51Except I've just been a little uninspired, so I haven't really been doing much of anything.
44:55And now it sort of feels like maybe that's over, which is kind of scary,
44:58because that's how I've always defined myself.
45:02But then again, maybe it's kind of freeing in a strange way.
45:06Anyway, that's to answer your question from last night.
45:10Oh, I'm glad you told me.
45:13Why?
45:14I don't know.
45:19I don't know what Kirsten told you about anything.
45:22She hasn't told me anything.
45:23About what?
45:24Anything.
45:26Oh.
45:27Well, she and I had sex once.
45:29And we made out once.
45:31And that was that.
45:32I just wanted to make that clear.
45:37So now I have.
45:39And I'll go now.
45:54You're home again?
45:56Yeah.
45:58I just came home for lunch.
46:02You?
46:04Lunch.
46:08Good.
46:14I'm not going to try to make love to you again.
46:16That's what you're afraid of.
46:22What's going on here?
46:24I don't know what you're talking about.
46:25I'm eating a tuna salad.
46:26No, I mean with us.
46:27No, I thought we were back together.
46:29We are.
46:30And what about sex?
46:32What about it?
46:33You got some last night.
46:34You didn't.
46:36Luke, you got what you want.
46:37You're back in your house with your kids.
46:38What's the big fucking deal?
46:43Well, you obviously still hate me.
46:51Why'd you do this?
46:54Huh?
46:55Why'd you ask me to move back in?
47:08Oh, goodness.
47:09Woo!
47:12Why'd you just start locking this door?
47:14George, I'm busy right now.
47:15Go away.
47:17What gives you the right to say those things to my fiancée?
47:20It's none of your business.
47:21It was my business when I had to clean up your goddamn mess.
47:24Please, I want to be alone right now.
47:26You don't want to live with me?
47:27You don't want to let me go?
47:29What the hell do you want?
47:30I don't know!
47:32I'm completely out of control, doing crazy things,
47:34and missing my Jay McInerney reading of Dungeons & Breadworth.
47:37Maybe I need help of some kind.
47:39All I know is I hate you, and I wish you would leave.
47:43Come back here.
47:45Ruth!
47:47You dickwads went to my show.
47:49Durrell, you know we don't use language like that.
47:51And that was in my private Kenneth Cole shoebox.
47:54You know what I said about people's private things?
47:57Yeah.
48:00Well, it was okay.
48:04Are you kidding?
48:05You were an incredible elm tree.
48:06I totally believed you.
48:12Hey, what about me?
48:14Don't you want to know what I thought?
48:20You were amazing.
48:22Let's go and celebrate.
48:24Get some pie and Marie Callendars.
48:25Marie Callendars is stupid.
48:27Yeah, that's true.
48:29Well, go get Anthony, and tell him to turn off that horrible music.
48:31We'll go somewhere else.
48:33Anywhere you want.
48:34She'll have a love.
48:36How did you want?
48:37Come, Mom.
48:38Come on.
48:41She'll have fun.
