00:04If you want to throw a successful dinner party, there are certain rules that must be followed.
00:10If the good silver is used, it must be polished.
00:15If music is played, the volume should be low.
00:19If the guests bring wine, it must be served.
00:24And if the evening is to be truly successful, there must be a toast.
00:30To Lee, this dinner has been a total triumph.
00:35And it's not over yet. I made a fruit tart for dessert.
00:39In case any of you are diabetic, let me just say, it was nice knowing you.
00:44No, seriously, this is how we lost his cousin.
00:48Hey Bob, where's the whipped cream?
00:50Oh, I totally forgot. I was on my phone and I drove right past the store.
00:54Of course, because it's something that I needed.
00:56I was working all day.
00:58If it was that important, why don't you just go out and get it?
01:00I work too. Selling houses is work.
01:03House?
01:04He sold one house in six months.
01:08Attacking.
01:13What's that?
01:15My feelings journal.
01:19Lee and I are seeing this counselor.
01:20She has us write down our negative feelings to discuss in our sessions.
01:26Seems like you got a lot of feelings there, Lee.
01:28That's volume three.
01:30With an entire chapter about me forgetting to put down the toilet seat.
01:34I thought that would be the one advantage with two guys living together.
01:37You'd think.
01:42Well, the good news is that you're getting help.
01:45We should think about seeing someone.
01:47What?
01:48You know, to help us with our stuff.
01:51Can we talk about our stuff later?
01:53We could.
01:54But you won't.
01:56She never wants to talk.
01:59You know how I feel about therapy.
02:01It's for weak, indulgent.
02:05Straight people.
02:06You guys totally make it work.
02:09I used to feel the same way about therapy.
02:11But this lady, she's really great.
02:13Volume three?
02:15Can't we give it a try?
02:17I don't need someone telling me how I feel, okay?
02:19So can we just drop it?
02:23And the number one rule for a successful dinner party?
02:28After dessert, let's karaoke.
02:31Keep discussion of your marriage.
02:33To an absolute minimum.
02:38Dr. Brent Avedon was the head of psychology at the Fairview Health Center.
02:44He spent his days treating antisocial adolescents,
02:50delusional dowagers,
02:53and bipolar businessmen.
02:57But lately, his most interesting patient was a housewife
03:03who'd had a nervous breakdown.
03:07I was just so lonely.
03:09And then, one day, along came this wonderful man.
03:14A man who made me laugh.
03:16Who gave me hope again.
03:20And who turned out to be alone with someone else.
03:25So, I went back to being lonely.
03:29Only it was worse now because he wasn't really gone.
03:34He was across the street.
03:38Holding her hand.
03:40Laughing with her.
03:43So, one day...
03:47I pretended.
03:49Just for a second.
03:52That it wasn't her hand he was holding.
04:00It was mine.
04:04And that's how the fantasy started?
04:09When I was hurting, I would let myself imagine that he was there with me.
04:17But then, those moments started to mean more to me than what was real.
04:27So, I just let myself have them.
04:29I let them take over.
04:33What about now?
04:34Do you feel that the medication is helping you?
04:41Well, I certainly have a firmer grasp in reality now.
04:46I can see things for the first time in a long while.
04:50Very clearly.
04:53That's great.
04:55No.
04:56Not really.
04:59Because now I can see what I've done to my life.
05:05And...
05:09How I've ruined it.
05:15Okay, Orson, it's time for me to give you your bath.
05:18Not now.
05:22Orson, you haven't bathed in over a week.
05:24Now, I don't want to do this any more than you do,
05:26but, frankly, you're getting a little ripe.
05:29I don't want a bath.
05:31Well, it's not about what you want anymore.
05:33It's a matter of preserving the drapes.
05:35To have another human being bathe me is humiliating.
05:40Here.
05:41What's this?
05:42A list of things I need at the store.
05:44I just went to the store for you an hour ago.
05:46Can't it wait?
05:47No.
05:48I need these items immediately.
05:49It's urgent.
05:51Orson, how are corn nuts urgent?
05:56I'm sorry, Bree.
05:57I just thought that since you played a major part in putting me in this chair,
06:01you'd want to play a small part in making my new life tolerable.
06:08Give me the list.
06:12Better yet, leave it on the table and then back away.
06:15Let's see.
06:22Hey, teach.
06:23Hi.
06:25I just dropped off Juanita for her first day.
06:28She's a little nervous.
06:29Oh, she's going to love it here.
06:31The teachers are great.
06:32So what animal is she?
06:33Excuse me?
06:34Oh, they test the kids and they place them in groups according to their level.
06:37In math, there's leopards, chipmunks, giraffes.
06:40It should be in her folder.
06:42Oh, she's a leopard.
06:45Oh.
06:48What's MJ?
06:49He's a giraffe.
06:51How?
06:52So, which is the advanced group?
06:56No one knows.
06:57They won't even tell me.
06:58Principal Hobson feels that if the parents find out, they'll freak and get all competitive.
07:04That's crazy.
07:05Who cares?
07:07Exactly.
07:12Leopards are the morons, aren't they?
07:15No.
07:15I didn't say that.
07:17Yeah, you did.
07:18When I asked about MJ, you were like, he's a giraffe!
07:20And then I said Juanita was a leopard and you were like, ooh.
07:23You're just talking to conclusions.
07:29You know something.
07:31Spill it!
07:33Okay, uh, I don't know for sure.
07:36But I teach these kids and it's pretty obvious.
07:39We were making paper mache globes.
07:43This is Rachel Miller.
07:45Damn, that's good.
07:47She's a giraffe.
07:49And this is Winnie Benson.
07:52Okay.
07:53Chipmunk.
07:55And this one was made by Adam Hunter, a hate leopard.
08:01Oh my god, it looks like an actual leopard made it.
08:05There's nothing wrong with being a leopard.
08:07They're very important here.
08:09They've moved the cafeteria tables.
08:12Excellent door holders.
08:15This isn't fair.
08:16Gabby, we have a saying around here.
08:18It's the pace, not the race.
08:20I know my daughter. She is all giraffe.
08:23I'm gonna go talk to the principal.
08:26Um, you don't push, you...
08:31Sorry, my daughter wasn't here to hold it for me.
08:40Geez, Lynette.
08:41Dinner's ready. Go wash up.
08:43What is that?
08:45It's nothing. It's, uh, it's, uh, it's personal.
08:49Personal?
08:49Yes.
08:51And I think it's important that we respect each other's boundaries.
08:54This morning you walked in and sat on the toilet while I shaved my legs.
08:58We have no boundaries.
09:01Attacking.
09:02What? You sound just like Bob and...
09:05Oh, oh, oh my god, is that a feelings joke?
09:08If you must know, yes it is.
09:10I started seeing their therapist.
09:12Why didn't you tell me?
09:14Because I wanted to talk to someone and I didn't need your ridicule.
09:18Are you talking about the baby?
09:21Started out about that.
09:22But now we're on to, uh, other things.
09:25Other things you mean like me?
09:28I might have mentioned you once or twice.
09:30Once or twice, uh-huh.
09:31I bet if we downed a shot every time we read the name Lynette, we'd be hammered by page two.
09:38Where do you see that?
09:39No, no, no, no way.
09:44But if you're really interested in what's in here, you can always join me in therapy.
09:50Like how?
09:52Fine.
09:53I guess you'll just have to wait for the movie.
10:05Here we go!
10:08Thanks again for having me.
10:10This all looks delicious.
10:11Oh, it's your first night over. I wanted to make you a traditional Italian meal.
10:15Rigatoni with sausage, chicken parm.
10:17Just salad would be great.
10:18Oh, screw the salad. That came out of a bag.
10:20This rigatoni came from my heart.
10:23To be honest, I don't eat carbs.
10:27But you'll make an exception tonight because I've been sweating over the stove all day.
10:30Well, let it go.
10:31She's watching her weight.
10:33Her weight?
10:34If I put the air conditioner on high, it'll blow her across the room.
10:37I just have to be careful.
10:38As soon as I graduate high school, I'm going to New York to be a model.
10:41Oh, no college?
10:43Are you kidding?
10:44And miss my prime modeling years?
10:49What? I think it's great.
10:51It takes guts to follow a dream.
10:53Yeah, it's great, but it'd be nice to have something other than the porn industry to fall back on.
11:00Model?
11:01Well, I'm not saying that's going to happen, but a lot of models do end up that way.
11:06I know, it's risky, but I'm really passionate about this.
11:09And I think that the best way to be successful in life is to do what you're passionate about.
11:14That's why I keep telling Danny to pursue his poetry.
11:18Poetry?
11:19Yeah. It's amazing, right?
11:21I wouldn't know. I'm too busy cooking food nobody's going to eat.
11:25Danny, why'd you ever show me your poetry?
11:28It's no big deal.
11:29Danny, it's great.
11:30I keep telling him he should come to New York with me so he can really focus on his writing.
11:35Wow.
11:36A model and a poet.
11:38So while you're doing porn, he can make the dialogue rhyme.
11:44This is why I don't tell her stuff.
11:50Okay, I'm sorry. I was just trying to make a joke.
11:54Let's get back to dinner, huh?
11:56Oh, no, I'm good.
11:59Carbs.
12:06I'll be out running errands today, so you'll have to let the physical therapist in when she arrives.
12:12Hmm.
12:13What's wrong?
12:15There's no strawberries.
12:16You know I like strawberries with my waffles.
12:18I am sorry.
12:19They're right here.
12:21There you go.
12:21Strawberries.
12:23Enjoy.
12:24I need whipped cream.
12:28Unless you think the strawberries are going to magically stick to the waffles by themselves.
12:33Mm-hmm.
12:52Not so fast.
12:54Say please.
12:56I will not.
12:57Give me my breakfast.
12:58Orsten, I am happy to do whatever you ask, but I will not be treated like a slave.
13:02Now, say please.
13:09Now that I look at your waffle, I understand why you're so eager to have it.
13:18Three.
13:20You know the magic word.
13:21It has six letters.
13:23I know a word that has three.
13:24If you don't give me my food, I'm going to shove that fork up it.
13:30Mm.
13:31Mm.
13:31Mm.
13:32You can have it when you're ready to be polite.
13:41Mr. Hobson, my daughter is incredibly bright.
13:44I just need to know if she's in the advanced classes.
13:46You know that we have a policy not to disclose that.
13:49Oh, you don't have to say anything.
13:50Just blink when I mention the smart group.
13:52Leopard.
13:53Mrs. Solis.
13:54Wait.
13:54Was that a blink or a twitch?
13:55I can't tell.
13:56You seem very nervous.
13:57See, this is exactly why we don't tell the parents.
14:00They start behaving irrationally.
14:04And stop trying to read things on my desk upside down.
14:09What is the big deal?
14:10I just need to know if my daughter's going to succeed in life.
14:12She's seven.
14:14Now, I suggest that you stop praying and just be proud of her, no matter what group she's in.
14:20I am proud of her.
14:21And I don't pry.
14:26By the way, enjoy your colonoscopy on the 16th.
14:34Mom, what are you doing here?
14:36I'm just having a nice get to know you chat with the principal.
14:39Who are your friends?
14:40Um, this is Wendy and Rachel.
14:42We're in math together.
14:44Oh, wait a minute.
14:45I think I saw your art projects.
14:47Wendy, you're a chipmunk, right?
14:49And Rachel, you are a giraffe.
14:51Oh, okay.
14:55You know what I would love to do is take a picture with Juanita and her friends.
15:01And, uh, you know what would be really cute is if you hold up your math homework.
15:13Got it.
15:14But I wasn't smiling.
15:16Yeah, well, it's a tough world out there.
15:17Not much to smile about.
15:19Have a great day.
15:22Your mom's weird.
15:24You have no idea.
15:37Orson, I'm letting myself in.
15:41Time for your therapy.
15:44Help me.
15:50Oh, dear lord.
15:52Orson, what happened?
15:54Oh, George.
15:57Oh, I was trying to get those waffles.
15:59Then I fell out of my chair.
16:01What are they doing up there?
16:05Starving him?
16:06That's ridiculous.
16:08Really?
16:08So you don't torment him by putting food out of his reach?
16:11Oh, well, you're gonna have to be there for that.
16:15Can someone please get me a piece of bread?
16:17Orson, for God's sake, stop that!
16:19Please, hit me in the legs this time.
16:21There's no feeling there.
16:22Mrs. Hodge, may I speak to you privately for a moment?
16:33You have to believe me.
16:35I would never hit my husband.
16:36I sensed him being a little dramatic.
16:39But withholding food?
16:40The whole thing started because he refused to say please.
16:45Which I know sounds rather petty, but you have to understand he has been impossible lately.
16:50The man is facing life in a wheelchair.
16:53He's mad at the world and unfortunately he's taking it out on you.
17:00Look, I know this is not easy, but until he comes to accept this, you're gonna have to figure out
17:06how to be more patient.
17:09And if you can't, it's my obligation to report it.
17:16Oh, and give the man a bath. Physical therapy shouldn't require gloves.
17:33Hey!
17:33Hey!
17:34You aren't home when they try to deliver this, so I signed for it.
17:36Yeah, we just, we had, uh, saw an ad. Or...
17:40Honest to God? Don't need to know.
17:42Good. Um...
17:44Ah, look.
17:50Looks like somebody got a new girlfriend.
17:53Yeah, not for long.
17:54I do not approve.
17:56Ah.
17:57You don't approve and she's got a body that would make the Pope walk through a sliding glass door.
18:01Gosh, who's gonna win?
18:03He is my kid. If I don't think she is good for him, I won't do whatever I have to
18:06do.
18:07Which will drive him towards her and away from you.
18:11Look, I know what it's like when a mom hates the hottie her son loves.
18:15Bob's mom hated me.
18:17Huh. I always thought that Bob was the hottie.
18:19The point is, she overplayed her hand and made Bob choose between us.
18:24Now, long story short, I'm cuddling up with Bob every night.
18:26And where's Mama? Nursing home. How'd she get there? Don't know. Can't remember.
18:32It's just... I don't know this girl. I don't know if I could trust her.
18:35Well, then you better get to know her.
18:37I'd hate to see you lose your son because you're afraid to share him.
18:42Get out of here.
18:47Carlos, did you get the pictures I sent you?
18:49You're as beautiful as the day we met. Time hasn't touched you at all.
18:53Not of me. Of the math homework.
18:56What?
18:58Here. This assignment looks easy, doesn't it?
19:01Pretty basic, yeah.
19:02And look at this one. With the multiplication. A little more complicated, right?
19:07I guess.
19:09And this one?
19:12Word problems. Fractions.
19:13This is the hardest one, isn't it?
19:15Looks like it, so?
19:16Carlos, this is the leopard's homework!
19:20Well, that cleared that up.
19:22No, don't you get it? Our daughter is a leopard. She's in the advanced class!
19:26Hey, good for her!
19:28Oh, poor Susan.
19:31Yeah? Why?
19:33Well, she was convinced that MJ's brilliant and turns out he's in the slow group.
19:38I would hate for her to find out.
19:40Gabby, you are not telling her.
19:41Why not? She didn't have any trouble telling me she thought Juanita was one thermos short of a lunchbox.
19:46She said that?
19:47Yes! With her tone.
19:50Mm-hmm. Well, we've had enough drama with the neighbors lately, so just drop it.
19:55Fine, I'll drop it.
19:57But just so you know, I like you better when you're reading the newspaper pretending to listen.
20:00Sure, take whatever you need.
20:14What are you doing here?
20:16I told them I don't want any visitors.
20:18Who says I'm visiting? Maybe I'm bonkers, too.
20:23You need the applesauce?
20:29Remember when my gout flared up and I couldn't walk?
20:33And you used to come over to see me?
20:37I figured I owe you.
20:38Get paid. Goodbye.
20:40I see you got your charming personality back.
20:44So...
20:45When are you going to be coming back home?
20:47What makes you think I would ever come back?
20:50What I did to those people? No. They hate me.
20:53Take it from the raining odd duck on the lane.
20:56Nobody cares about all that silly stuff.
20:58Oh, you're right.
20:59Three and I can just laugh, laugh, laugh about silly me nearly destroying her business.
21:04And I'll tell Susan that I was just doshing about trying to wreck her marriage.
21:07Oh, and Mike is still chuckling about me getting him thrown in jail.
21:11Will you listen?
21:13Kathy, I'm serious.
21:15I'm willing to bet there's more forgiveness there than you imagine.
21:20In that case, you know what?
21:23Maybe you are bonkers.
21:24Maybe you are bonkers.
21:35Hey, hon, look who's here.
21:38Hey, Susan, what's up?
21:39I was going through some of MJ's stuff and I found these math workbooks from last year.
21:42I thought Juanita would find them helpful.
21:45Well...
21:50No problem.
21:51I thought it might help her catch up.
21:56Ketchup?
21:57Yeah. You know, from when she was out of school.
22:01She was never out of school. I was homeschooling her.
22:04And I know you did the best you could.
22:07But now she has professional teachers and I bet she's going to catch up to MJ in no time.
22:15Get her.
22:18Well, Susan, by the way, did you hear? Leopards are the advanced students.
22:25What?
22:26Yeah, it's true. Chipmunks are average and giraffes, well, those cafeteria tables aren't going to move themselves.
22:33How do you know this?
22:34I got a copy of each group's homework. Trust me, I cracked the code.
22:39So that means that MJ's not in it.
22:41Hey, but you said it yourself. It's no big deal.
22:43It's the pay, it's not the raise, right?
22:46Right?
22:47Oh, and please, don't say anything to anyone.
22:50You know how competitive some parents can get.
22:54Yeah. All too well.
23:05I'm finished. Can I have my milk and cookies now?
23:12Sure, sweetie.
23:14You have some pasta stuck to the right side of your face.
23:18No, sweetie. You're right.
23:22Oh, never mind.
23:25Hey, guys.
23:26Mike, can you help me take out the trash?
23:29Sure.
23:30Never mind that.
23:34Okay, so he's a giraffe. You know, there's nothing wrong with being average.
23:37No, chipmunks are average. How many times do I have to tell you? Leopards, chipmunks, giraffes.
23:43I love him so much, Mike. What if he's...
23:48...slow?
23:49He's not slow. He's a smart, inquisitive, bright little boy.
23:58Oh, no.
24:01He's got his hands stuck in the glass.
24:05Oh, come on, buddy.
24:07Come on, just hold the glass.
24:12What was the other hand?
24:16You can do it.
24:18Come on, MJ.
24:21Yes!
24:22Oh!
24:24Yes!
24:25See? You were worried about nothing.
24:27You're right.
24:28Oh, no.
24:31He's heading toward the toaster with a fork!
24:53Honey!
24:55Yeah!
24:57Hey!
24:58Hi!
24:59Hey!
24:59Okay.
25:00Wanna grab lunch tonight?
25:02Uh, maybe tomorrow. I have a thing.
25:04If you mean therapy, why don't you say, therapy?
25:07I just didn't want to get into a fight, that's all.
25:10Hey!
25:11Won't you need this?
25:13Right, thanks.
25:16Do you want to know if I read it?
25:19Oh, I'd know if you read it.
25:37Excuse me, are you waiting for Dr. Graham?
25:40Don't tell me she double booked again.
25:42Oh, no. I don't have an appointment.
25:44What? I really need to talk to her, so can I have yours?
25:47I don't know.
25:48I really need to talk to her, too.
25:50Seriously?
25:51Because I was looking at you thinking, what is he doing here?
25:55That guy's really got it together.
25:57Thanks.
25:58But I've been having a pretty hard time lately.
26:00I'll give you 200 bucks.
26:01Cash.
26:0220's okay?
26:04So, um, what were you going to talk to her about?
26:09I'm starting to feel the urge to gamble again.
26:13Thanks.
26:18Mr. Jameson?
26:20He had to go.
26:22But he said I could have his appointment.
26:25Um...
26:26I'm sorry, but it doesn't work like that.
26:28If you're interested in becoming a patient...
26:30I'm not.
26:31I'm Mrs. Tom Scavo.
26:35Yep, that's what I thought.
26:40Well, I don't blame you for reacting like that.
26:42I can only imagine the stories Tom's been reading to you
26:45from his big book of wah.
26:49So, here I am.
26:51Tom Scavo's bitch of a wife.
26:53In the flesh.
26:55Why do you put it like that?
26:57I don't know specifically what word he uses.
27:01I'm just picking the one that seems the most likely.
27:04So, you think your husband describes you as a bitch?
27:09Doesn't he?
27:10What Tom says in this room is private.
27:12Which means yes.
27:15Well, obviously it does to you.
27:17I'm just wondering why that might be.
27:21Ah, I see what you're trying to do, but I did not come here for therapy.
27:24I came here to defend myself, because there's two sides to every story.
27:28So, you're not a bitch?
27:30Not all the time. No.
27:33But, sometimes?
27:37I just... need... want... to feel like I'm in control.
27:44And when I don't, that makes me mad.
27:48And...
27:49Maybe I'm mad a lot.
27:51Because, I don't know if you've noticed, but...
27:53You can't control what happens in life.
27:58Like your baby dying?
28:08I'm going to sit down, but only...
28:11Because I'm tired.
28:19Unless you need to go or something?
28:21No. I don't need to go anywhere.
28:32I don't need to go anywhere.
28:35I don't know.
28:36I don't need to go anywhere.
28:37I don't need to go anywhere.
28:38Hey!
28:39Hey.
28:40How was your day?
28:44Is that a...
28:45Yep.
28:45Looks like we'll be going to therapy together.
28:48Really?
28:49That is great news, thank you!
28:51Aw.
28:56Where's dinner?
29:00I mean, you were home all day.
29:07What are you writing?
29:09You'll find out. Tuesday at 1230.
29:17Colleen! Can I talk to you?
29:19I've got parent-teacher conferences, but not for a few minutes. What's up?
29:22It's about MJ. How is he doing in your math class?
29:26Oh, he's such a joy.
29:28Oh, God. You just did the he's such a joy with the head tilt.
29:33I give that one to parents all the time when I think their kid is driftwood.
29:36No, seriously. MJ's doing great.
29:39Oh, really? Well, if he's doing so great, why is he a giraffe?
29:45What? He should be a leopard. They're the advanced students.
29:48You don't know that.
29:50I do now. Gabby Solis broke the code.
29:53What?
29:54That's right. Giraffes to the slow learners, and you know it.
29:57Giraffes are the slow learners?
29:59No, no, no, Mrs. Chapman. No one said that.
30:01Why don't you wait for me in my classroom?
30:04Gabrielle Solis figured out the code.
30:06Leopards, chipmunks, giraffes.
30:08Jenny! We got the code!
30:10Leopards are the smart ones.
30:13Now look at what you've done. MJ is here.
30:15He's leopard. Get used to it.
30:22Where have you been? I need you to close the door.
30:25Oh, uh, well, I thought a little fresh air would be nice.
30:29Hmm, it isn't.
30:31Well, as the person who has to share a house with the person who won't take a bath, I need
30:35the fresh air.
30:36I don't care. Close it.
30:41Orson, I know that you are angry at the world right now.
30:44What happened to you is unimaginable.
30:47And I am going to do whatever I can to help you through this.
30:49And all I ask in return is that you treat me with a little bit of courtesy, and that includes
30:53using the word, please.
30:55Why the sudden interest in etiquette, Bree? I mean, I don't recall you saying please before you cheated on me.
31:01This conversation is over. The door stays open.
31:05I want it closed.
31:06No, you stink.
31:07And you're a whore. Here's the difference. I can get clean.
31:16Yes, you can.
31:25What are you doing?
31:27What's going on? I'm not even dressed.
31:34What is that?
31:36What is that? What's going on?
31:38Bree, stop.
31:46You wouldn't.
31:48Stop it. Bree, stop it.
31:50Stop it. Bree.
31:53Please.
31:53Only there was a word you could use to get me to stop. Like, please.
31:57I'm calling Joyce.
31:58Safety.
31:59Go to hell.
32:00Why can't you just say it?
32:02It's easy.
32:03Please.
32:04Please.
32:05Please.
32:06Please.
32:06Please.
32:07Please.
32:08Please.
32:08Stop.
32:12Please roll me over.
32:14Please help me off the toilet.
32:15Please.
32:15Please.
32:16Please.
32:20Please.
32:20That's the life I'm facing now.
32:22Having to ask people for help.
32:24For everything.
32:25Do you know how hard that is?
32:27Every morning, I wake up at 5.
32:29You get up at 6.30 for an hour and a half.
32:31I lie there, staring at the bedroom door,
32:33fantasizing about how lovely it would be,
32:35how excruciatingly lovely it would be,
32:38to get up and make myself a cup of tea one last time.
32:43No, please.
32:45Just hot water and tea.
33:01Please.
33:02Orson.
33:05I'm so sorry.
33:10Forgive me.
33:15Please.
33:32What are you in for?
33:34Eating paste.
33:36What animal group are you?
33:38Giraffe.
33:39Damn.
33:42Joey Murphy.
33:50I'll be with you two in a moment.
33:56Sorry for getting you in trouble.
34:00It's my own fault.
34:02Got carried away.
34:04Me too.
34:06It was just so important to me that Juanita was doing well.
34:09I know.
34:11No.
34:12I don't think you do.
34:15My kids are my calling card.
34:18They're what I have to show for myself.
34:20I don't have a career, Susan.
34:22My kids are my job.
34:24And whatever happens, if they succeed or they don't succeed,
34:26it's because of how I raised them.
34:28Well, at least you get to raise them.
34:31Ever since I took this job, I feel like I'm never with MJ.
34:33I constantly worry.
34:35Am I there enough for him?
34:36Am I letting him down?
34:39You don't have anything to worry about.
34:41MJ's a fantastic kid.
34:42Yeah.
34:43Well, so is Juanita.
34:47They're moms that are the competitive nuts.
34:50It's been so ridiculous.
34:52Leopards and giraffes and chipmunks.
34:54I mean, who created this crazy system?
34:55Reading class is just as bad.
34:57There's otters, penguins, and seals.
34:59Yeah, Juanita's an otter.
35:01I mean, what does an otter have to do with learning how to read?
35:07Juanita's an otter?
35:08Yeah.
35:10Why? What's MJ?
35:12Penguin.
35:26Huh.
35:28This is pretty. What do you think?
35:29I think maybe I'd buy it for my grandma.
35:32If I hated her.
35:35You're so funny.
35:37So, as much fun as we're having here,
35:40why are we doing this?
35:42We are getting to know each other.
35:44Oh.
35:45You know me, and you don't like me.
35:51It's not that I don't like you.
35:54It's just I don't think you're good for Danny.
35:56Why? Because I wouldn't eat your pasta?
35:59Rigatoni.
36:01And no.
36:02It's because you are a good-time girl out to have fun.
36:06Not that I blame you for it.
36:07You're young, you're beautiful, you're supposed to have fun.
36:09But Danny has been through a lot.
36:11And he needs someone who is not gonna hurt him.
36:14I know Danny has been through rough stuff.
36:17When he lashes out and gets all defensive, trying to protect himself.
36:22I get it.
36:24Because I used to do it too.
36:27Yeah?
36:29It's the thing that made me like him.
36:31I know how he feels.
36:33And...
36:33It's not fun.
36:35At all.
36:38I don't care if you like me.
36:40And I don't care if you hate how I dress.
36:42But...
36:43I am not gonna hurt Danny.
36:46How can I be sure of that?
36:48You can't.
36:50But it doesn't matter.
36:51Because...
36:52I'm not going anywhere.
37:03What are you doing back here?
37:04I've been thinking about what you said last time.
37:07The more I thought about it, the more it pissed me off.
37:11Why's that?
37:12The people on that street have been your friends for years.
37:15You really think we would dump your ass just because you went off the deep end for some months?
37:19Yes.
37:22I appreciate you coming here.
37:23I do.
37:24But after everything I did, I don't see how anyone could forgive me.
37:28Well, we're not saying it'll be easy.
37:33But we'll give it a try.
37:44I told them how much better you were doing, but they couldn't take my word for it.
37:48That's what they had to say for themselves.
37:50Oh.
37:51Oh.
37:55Oh.
38:04Oh.
38:05Say hi.
38:06I can't go out in thestäatch.
38:16Uh...
38:27In our darkest moments, we all need someone who will listen.
38:32Some turn to friendly professionals.
38:36A few rely on those who are older and wiser.
38:41Others seek out someone who knows what they're going through.
38:48But for most of us, nothing is quite so therapeutic as a good long talk with a few old friends.
