04:33college boyfriend
04:36you can let me go all right i'm okay
04:40okay you broke into a neighbor's house and passed out
04:43i didn't break in i i got a little confused and went in the wrong house
04:51you gotta admit all these places kind of look the same when you're drunk
04:55indra this is not good
04:58calm down all right i just i just had a little too much fun last night
05:03you need to be very careful thanks to me you have a genetic predisposition to alcoholism
05:08what just because you're one you want everyone in your little club
05:13i'm not an alcoholic okay i got everything under control
05:24how bad is it it's really bad when did it start
05:29a while ago first it was just on the weekends and sometimes during the week and now it's every
05:34night wish you had told me you know what i've started to do i pretend i have to work late
05:41so i
05:41don't have to come home and deal with him well you need to talk to him i have and he
05:45promises
05:46it'll get better but it only gets worse
05:50i love him but i can't take it anymore i know it's very difficult no brie i'm thinking of leaving
05:56him please don't not yet let me try to get him some help i'll talk to him no offense but
06:03i don't
06:04think you're gonna get through to him don't be so sure i want smuggle vodka into church in a
06:09jesus saves sports bottle i can be pretty resourceful
06:16tables and chairs go out back chafing dishes and flatware in the kitchen and eyes off the boobs
06:21but thanks for noticing hey i saw the party rental truck what's going on what do you think it's for
06:27our party tomorrow night what our spring fling we're still flinging oh why wouldn't we be oh i
06:34don't know unless the theme is neighbors who blow their brains out i kind of thought the beth
06:37young thing might put a damper on the festivities why she wasn't even invited
06:42well we can't ignore the fact that one of our neighbors is dead brain dead big difference
06:47besides she seems like a clinger bet she'll stick around for months so you think it's okay that we
06:52still throw this party gabby it's not a party it's an event would you cancel the oscars christmas
06:57no the invitations have been sent the caterer has been hired life is for the living so let's live
07:06well the living did buy a new dress versace and i'm sure beth would have loved to seen you in
07:12that
07:12versace she would have wouldn't she in a way it could be a tribute to her and i did see
07:20the perfect
07:20tribute shoes at the mall now that is the spirit now make sure the guests know the party is still
07:26on
07:26and i will take care of the arrangements here oh and uh maybe we could have a moment of silence
07:31and then a champagne toast and beth's honor oh fabulous idea except instead of champagne let's
07:36do mojitos and instead of beth let's toast to us and the moment of silence would sound great with
07:43music
07:48oh god sorry
08:02paul i want you to know how sorry i am
08:06can't imagine what you're going through right now
08:18i want you to know how grateful i am for this gift that beth is giving me obviously it doesn't
08:25bring her back but i hope it will be a small comfort to you knowing that in some way she'll
08:32live on
08:36why would that give me comfort you're trying to tell me that my wife is dead and that you're the
08:41consolation prize no that's not what i'm saying i hate to disappoint you susan but my wife's not dead
08:48she's very much alive they told me there was no chance i don't care what they told you beth is
08:54alive and i intend to keep her that way as long as possible i'm not going to allow you to
08:58strip her
08:58for parts like some abandoned car that's not what's happening here this was beth's idea beth was
09:05not in her right mind when she signed those forms as far as i'm concerned they mean nothing and what
09:10makes you think you deserve her kidney was it those meals you shared with her all the girls nights you
09:16included her in the little gestures of kindness you offered to make her feel less alone
09:22right you gave her nothing in life and that's exactly what you're going to get in death
09:42i don't get this beth signed the donation forms and a living will those are legal documents
09:47aren't they binding yes and no you're gonna have to do a little better than yes and no
09:53yes they'll stand up in court but this hospital is not inclined to wage a legal battle against a
09:58grieving husband it's too delicate he's not a grieving husband paul young has a vendetta against my family
10:04he's only doing this to make us suffer
10:08look we can't publicly support you but if you decide to take this on we won't stand in your way
10:15you're damn right we're gonna take this on no we're not susan we're not fighting paul this is
10:22your life we're talking about here we can't let him win win his wife shot herself and you want to
10:29what hire lawyers track him to court i know that you're only thinking of me but this is paul's decision
10:36to make it's not ours i just want to go home

14:37you know i can relate and i have the same kind of problem with my mother
14:44you know i i think her greatest regret in life is the fact that she gave birth to a son

14:56could we not laugh

15:01we're trying to heal here nothing i ever did was good enough for her like in the 10th grade i
15:07i wanted
15:08to run for for class president and the night before i was going to announce she said are you sure
15:13about
15:13this you're not exactly a born leader ouch she sounds awful or does she sound like a loving mother
15:20trying to protect her son from disappointment i don't think so because she wouldn't even listen to
15:25my speech well maybe she was busy preparing dinner for a family of four with no help from her son
15:30yeah it is hard work making dinner while maintaining an atmosphere of emotional repression
15:35well if you ask me some emotions could stand to be repressed uh brie i'm sorry but we're here to
15:40stop drinking not criticize the women who gave us life he's just trying to share well there is a
15:45difference between sharing and whining okay uh we are definitely out of time thank you everybody

23:11i don't find that pathetic
23:13no you don't
23:16look
23:17the one thing that gets me through is
23:19is
23:20knowing that when the night rolls around
23:22i can just have a few drinks and kick back
23:26and as long as i don't hurt anyone
23:27i think i'm allowed

23:32i'll be okay
23:36if you say so
23:56what
23:57you listen to me
23:58there's been a terrible tragedy in our neighborhood
24:01a woman felt desperate and alone
24:03and killed herself
24:04because nobody cared enough to help her
24:05and the thing is
24:07i was there
24:08i saw that something was wrong
24:11and i walked away
24:12and i am never gonna let myself do that again
24:15and certainly
24:16not with you
24:23alex left me
24:26i guess he just got sick of living with the drunk
24:34what did i do
24:36i wrecked my marriage
24:39look it's gonna get better
24:40i promise you it's gonna get better
24:44but for that to start
24:47you need to go to a meeting
24:49i can't get up in front of a bunch of strangers and talk about this
24:54then
24:55we can have a meeting right here
24:59just the two of us
25:00what do you say
25:18wow
25:18wow
25:19well that's glenford
25:20he's nothing if not aggressive
25:20carlos
25:21i swear
25:22i didn't seek this out
25:23i know you didn't
25:25and you're a stand-up guy for telling me
25:27but it is a very generous offer
25:29and i figured if that's my value in the marketplace
25:31that maybe i should be
25:34doing a little better here
25:37look
25:37our friendship aside
25:38you are a valuable part of this company
25:40and if i had the cash
25:43you know i'd step up
25:44but
25:44you know how rough things have been
25:46you've seen the empty desk
25:48we just can't offer you that kind of money
25:49but i don't want to lose you
25:51so here's what i can offer
25:53title bump in chief marketing officer
25:55car allowance
25:57and
25:57profit participation
26:00how's that sound
26:01it sounds like a bunch of crap
26:02oh
26:03lunette
26:04of course he pleaded poverty
26:06did you play hardball
26:07did you grind him
26:07yes

26:10tom
26:11i worked at that company
26:13remember
26:13at the end of the year
26:14carlos takes the excess cash as a bonus
26:16so there is no profit to participate in
26:18what else did he offer you
26:19a bogus new title
26:20not bogus
26:21chief marketing officer
26:23cmo
26:52and a car allowance
26:55so that's where you think i am
26:58nowhere

27:04i think
27:05you are an amazing husband and father
27:08but as a businessman
27:12you're 46 years old and you're still trying to establish yourself
27:14opportunities like this don't keep falling from the sky
27:18you gotta grab them
27:19by stabbing my friend in the back
27:20do you think carlos would hesitate for a second
27:23if the roles were reversed
27:24not a chance
27:25that's how he got where he is
27:26he's ruthless

29:13I know you didn't like Beth, but come on, she's dying
29:15And whose fault is that?
29:17Everyone keeps acting like this horrible thing happened to her
29:19It didn't just happen
29:20She did it to herself
29:22But think about how much pain she must have been in
29:25Everyone has pain
29:26But only a selfish bitch
29:28Checks out and passes it on to everyone else
29:30Beth didn't care who she hurt
29:32Her mother
29:33Her husband
29:34Her daughter
29:38She didn't have a daughter
29:39Well, amen for that at least
29:46Honey, you told me your mom died when you were young
29:52You never said how
29:54Uh-huh
29:57Did she take her own life?
30:02What do you think?
30:06Damn it
30:07How hard is it to fill an ice bucket?
30:10You know, I lost a parent when I was a kid too
30:13My dad
30:15I'm not making comparisons here
30:17And I understand if you don't want to talk about it
30:19Good
30:20Because I don't
30:21But I think that if you do
30:24And do what?
30:25I'll feel so much better if I let it all out
30:28Well, that doesn't work for me
30:29I'm not a hug and learn kind of gal
30:32No, I guess you're a throw party and forget kind of gal
30:36Look, I will never forget what my mother did
30:40I think about it every day
30:43But I refuse to let it be what defines me
30:47This spring fling might seem shallow and insensitive to you
30:52But it's my way of saying I choose life over death
30:57Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to get back to my lame-ass party
31:02Wait
31:05It's not a lame-ass party anymore
31:08Because I'm here now
31:22Zero to sixteen under five seconds
31:24Top speed of 160 and no cup holder
31:26Because you'll want both hands on the wheel
31:30Sweet
31:30Can I take it for a test drive?
31:32Oh, it would be our pleasure
31:33Oh
31:34So, is the car for you?
31:36Your husband?
31:37Actually, no
31:38It's for a neighbor
31:47Hey, sweetie
31:51Is something wrong?
31:52Guess who's got a brand new slap in the face
31:55Parked in front of his house
31:56What are you talking about?
31:58Carlos
31:59The day after he cries poor to me
32:01He goes out and buys himself a $70,000 lotus?
32:04I think the Aurora runs around $76,000
32:06But what do I know?
32:07You're right, Lynette
32:09I'm a pushover
32:11I'm being loyal to a guy who does nothing but look out for himself
32:15Wow
32:15You must feel really betrayed
32:17I got half a mind to call Glenn
32:18Right now, take that off her
32:20I say
32:22Use your whole mind and do it
32:29Glenn?
32:31Tom Scavo
32:34I am in
32:36Yes
32:37Yes, I am excited too
32:39But you want to have lunch tomorrow?
32:40Hash out the details?
32:42I will see you then
32:45Feels good, huh?
32:46Feels real good
32:48You know what's going to feel even better?
32:50Telling Carlos to go screw himself
32:53No, wait, wait
32:55Don't try and stop me
32:56I'm going to tell that guy just where he can stick his Aurora
32:58Okay, but before you do, it's not Carlos's
33:02I borrowed it from the dealer and I parked it there
33:05What?
33:06I know, I'm sorry
33:07It sounds very bad, but I did it for a very good reason
33:10Think you can manipulate me into doing whatever you want?
33:12Carlos didn't buy that car, but he could have without even feeling it
33:16Because he's the kind of guy who doesn't let a good opportunity get by him
33:19Meanwhile, you're his dutiful number two
33:22Staring down the street at a car you wish you had
33:24Get in
33:25We're taking it back
33:26Then I'm calling Glenn
33:28Just one
33:29Get in
33:42Tom
33:45This could be you
33:46Driving this car
33:48Living this life
33:50Being that guy
33:53I understand if you want to say no to all that
33:56But I don't even think you've asked yourself
33:58Do I want it?
34:00It would be better if you didn't talk right now
34:07Whoa
34:16I can't tell if we are going to drive
34:19Or fly
34:47What time does this have to be back?
34:50He said four, but they don't close till six
34:53I'm guessing we could be a little late
34:56Yeah
34:57Let's be a little late
35:10Hello, Susan
35:12Would it be okay if I came in for a moment?
35:14Uh, actually I was
35:20Sure
35:23I've never been to your apartment
35:26Yeah, well
35:27It's not much
35:28No, it's quite nice
35:32I'm on my way to the hospital to see Beth
35:34To say goodbye
35:36I've alerted the transplant office
35:38That we'll be moving forward with her request
35:40I'm sure as soon as I sign the papers
35:42They'll be contacting you
35:45I don't understand
35:47You're getting your kidney
35:50I thought you said
35:51Susan
35:54I would be very grateful to you
35:55If you could forget a lot of the things that I said
36:00You were right, Paul
36:02I was terrible to Beth
36:04I was
36:05I never gave her a chance
36:08I never tried to get to know her
36:11Why
36:12Would she do this for me
36:15When I did nothing to deserve it?
36:19Beth didn't love people because they deserved it
36:22Believe me
36:22I know that
36:25I'm so confused
36:26I
36:27I don't know if I can accept
36:29Please
36:31Honor Beth's life by allowing her to make you well
36:34For your son
36:35For your family
36:38For your friends
36:45Okay
36:48Thank you
36:51Paul
36:52Yes
36:56I am so
37:00Very, very sorry
37:01About your wife
37:05Yes
37:08I am too
37:21There comes a moment
37:23When our lives change forever
37:27The moment we admit our weaknesses
37:32The moment we rise to a challenge
37:38The moment we accept a sacrifice
37:45Or let a loved one go
37:51And sometimes
37:54The change in our lives
37:56Is an answer to our prayers
38:00Miss Tillman
38:01Thought I'd find you here
38:03So sorry for your loss
38:06Thank you, Wharton
38:07I'm sure this is
38:08Small consolation
38:10But I've just heard from the parole board
38:12They've decided to grant your request
38:14For humanitarian release
38:17Ironic, isn't it?
38:19My daughter had to die
38:20So I could go free
38:22Again
38:23My condolences
