Desperate Housewives S02E21
Transcript
00:30It's going to rock her world.
00:32Threats were spoken.
00:34So what the hell are we going to do?
00:36And plans.
00:38Fina Barberto?
00:39It's time to give your brother the peace he deserves.
00:42Were put into action.
00:46The most successful private investigator in Fairview was a man named Oliver Weston.
00:53Try though he might, Oliver couldn't remember the exact moment he stopped believing in love.
00:59Was it the night he caught an executive cheating with his secretary?
01:04Or was it the day he saw a housewife cheating with her delivery boy?
01:10Or was it the time he caught the girl next door cheating with the couple who lived across the street?
01:18Whenever the moment, Oliver Weston was now officially a cynic who only believed in betrayal and suspicion.
01:26Luckily for Oliver, that's what paid his bills.
01:30Okay, you forgot to fight.
01:32What are you doing?
01:34Hey, that's my job.
01:35Oh, sorry, man.
01:37Are these your bushes?
01:38I'll clean that all up when I'm done.
01:40It'll be like I was not here.
01:41You're done now.
01:42Oh, easy, big fella.
01:43I'm just a PI doing a domestic surveillance job.
01:46For who?
01:47The blonde lady at the end of the street.
01:49Edie Britt?
01:50Yeah.
01:51That's her fiancé.
01:52Apparently he dumped her for another woman.
01:54They just figured out who.
01:57Susan?
01:58There's nothing going on there.
01:59They used to be married.
02:01She's only talking to them because they have a kid together.
02:03From what I heard, they're on their way to kid number two.
02:05Well, you don't know what you're talking about.
02:06Yeah, and you don't know these soccer moms like I do.
02:08By day, they bake cookies and carpool.
02:10But dim the lights and bam, they turn into total pigs.
02:14She's not like that.
02:16Oh, please.
02:17Look at her.
02:18That woman clearly knows her way around the mattress.
02:24Yes.
02:25Oliver Weston had become a cynic.
02:28Which is why he couldn't recognize.
02:30A man who was still in love.
02:41Every family has a way of hiding what it doesn't want seen.
02:46Whether it's with a picture that covers a stain on the wall.
02:51Or with a closet door that conceals the chaos inside.
02:57Or with artificial smiles that mask years of pain and heartache.
03:03Every family goes to great lengths to hide ugly truths.
03:07Some, of course, go further than others.
03:18So, you're going to do this tonight?
03:20No.
03:21The ice cream is for tomorrow.
03:24I'm taking Caleb on a picnic to Rockwater Lake.
03:28I'm preparing all of his favorite foods.
03:30So, when you're done, you're just going to leave him lying there?
03:37No.
03:41I'll call 911 anonymously.
03:44But I will be watching from a distance to make sure that they pick up his body.
03:54You know, Mom, you don't have to do this.
03:56I won't let her hurt another girl.
03:58And I will not turn him over to people who will mock and abuse him.
04:02I just won't.
04:08His last day on this earth is going to be a perfect one.
04:19Oh, no thanks, Shami.
04:22Poor thing.
04:23She was so attached to Lily.
04:24Where'd all this food come from?
04:26The people from Carlos' church.
04:28So you think you and Carlos will try for another adoption?
04:31I don't think I could go through that pain again.
04:34I did freeze some of my eggs, so we might do the surrogacy thing, but I don't know.
04:38Honey, you've got to eat something.
04:39I don't have an appetite.
04:41In fact, this is all going to go to waste.
04:43You guys should take something.
04:44No, no, you should keep it.
04:45I'll take a couple.
04:50What?
04:51Carl dumped me, so I'm alone.
04:53Food fills the void.
04:57Shami, I appreciate your grief, but really, you're bringing everybody down.
05:00Will you pull it together?
05:02Mrs. Solis.
05:07I don't understand.
05:08It's from the government.
05:12Gabby, she's being deported.
05:14Shami, is this the first letter like this you've received?
05:24This can't be happening.
05:25I can't go home.
05:27My uncle will sell me again.
05:30Oh, no, no, Shami, you're not going anywhere.
05:32You're much too important to Carlos and me.
05:34We're going to fight this, and we're going to win.
05:36Gabby, you can't promise her that.
05:38You heard what she said.
05:40I can't let this poor kid go back to China and become someone's slave.
05:47All right.
05:48Look, my friends want to take some of this to go, so pack it up, and we're a little low
05:51on coffee.
05:59You're actually going to let me eat this?
06:01You've been working so hard, off on business trips all the time.
06:05Tonight, we throw caution and cholesterol to the wind.
06:08You deserve a little comfort food.
06:12Oh, no, you're pregnant.
06:14God, your mind goes to dark places.
06:17Honey, you just served me a plate of full-fat Gouda.
06:21What's up?
06:22Okay.
06:25Well, remember I was helping Ed spark up his love life?
06:28Yeah, you sent his wife those sexy I.M.'s.
06:30Why?
06:31Well, Fran found out that Ed didn't send them, and she blew her top.
06:35She wants the responsible party fired, and Ed lied and told her that you sent them.
06:44But it wasn't me.
06:45It was you.
06:46I know.
06:47Oh, oh, but Ed couldn't possibly lose you.
06:50No, no, no.
06:50I'm the expendable one.
06:52Look, I know it's ridiculous, but Ed is not a rational person.
06:56Fran has him whipped, and a whipped husband is someone we must take very seriously.
07:03Okay.
07:06How do we handle this?
07:07You're under contract.
07:08Ed can't fire you unless he has just cause.
07:11So until this blows over, you have to be a model employee.
07:15Show up on time.
07:16No more three martini lunches.
07:18And above all, have ready all your presentations.
07:21Can't believe I'm being victimized like this.
07:24Well, honey, in all fairness, those are all things you should be doing anyway.
07:27All right.
07:29Fine.
07:40Andrew, I am having Peter over for dinner tomorrow night, and I was wondering if you would like
07:44to invite Justin.
07:47Yeah, thanks.
07:48I'll call him tonight.
07:50Since you two are having your boyfriends over, can I invite Matthew?
07:53Out of the question.
07:54So let me get this straight.
07:55You can date a lush, and he can bring over his gay lover, but God forbid I date a hot
08:00black guy.
08:00Until they lock Caleb up, I don't want you anywhere near that family.
08:03His brother tried to rape you, and his mother keeps the guy locked up in a basement.
08:08I mean, let's face it, Danielle.
08:09Even you could do better.
08:11Since when do you take Mom's side over mine?
08:13Your brother and I had a talk, and we've come to a detente of sorts.
08:17Really?
08:18Even after she screwed you out of your trust fund?
08:20Well, he did falsely accuse me of child abuse.
08:23I would say we're even, wouldn't you, Andrew?
08:25Sure, Mom.
08:26We're even.
08:32You can stop smiling now.
08:33I know your face is tired.
08:35What?
08:35I'm not stupid.
08:37I know you hate her now as much as ever.
08:39Mom and I are in a good place right now.
08:41Why can't you believe that?
08:45Hi.
08:46I got your message.
08:47What's up?
08:48Come on in.
08:51This is Oliver Weston.
08:53He's a P.I.
08:54Edie hired.
08:55Edie hired a P.I.?
08:57Yeah, he's been spying on you and Carl.
08:59How you doing?
09:01He thinks you two have been having an affair.
09:02Me and Carl?
09:05Why would you think that?
09:08Come on, Suze.
09:09You know we're meant to be together.
09:11Carl, just stop.
09:14Well, that is Carl being nostalgic.
09:18You said yourself.
09:19The sex last week was the best you ever had.
09:23Okay, um, first of all, it was not the best sex I ever had.
09:29I just said that to make him feel better.
09:31Obviously, you were the best sex I ever had.
09:33That explains the punch in the face.
09:35I'm going to hit you again if you don't shut up.
09:37I know that this looks bad.
09:38You were actually fooling around with Carl behind Edie's back.
09:41No, no, no, no, no.
09:42Carl lied to me.
09:44He told me that he and Edie had split up before...
09:45You know what?
09:46I don't even care.
09:47Mike.
09:48Are we done here?
09:49Yeah.
09:51Good night, Suze.
09:55Hey, hey, you, wait, wait, wait.
09:57Um, okay, you cannot tell Edie about this.
10:01Whatever she's paying you, I'll pay you double.
10:03She paid a two grand retainer plus expenses.
10:06$2,000?
10:08Jeez.
10:08I got to get into real estate.
10:10Okay, I don't have that kind of cash.
10:13Well, then I guess I take the tape to Miss Britt.
10:18I have a copy.
10:28Okay, let's try this another way.
10:30You are about to unleash a nuclear explosion.
10:34Lives are going to be ruined.
10:37I'll tell you what.
10:38I'll hold off till Monday to report to Miss Britt.
10:41Yes.
10:41That'll give you some time to scrape together a little cash.
10:44What if I can't?
10:58I'm sorry, but Zhao Mei missed all of her appeal deadlines.
11:02So that's it?
11:03You're just going to send her back to China?
11:05My hands are tied.
11:06If your maid were married to an American citizen
11:09or had a child who was an American citizen
11:12or if she were a well-known entertainer...
11:14Uh, what if she was pregnant with an American citizen?
11:24Uh, Zhao Mei?
11:26We spoke to Homeland Security, and we have good news.
11:30I can stay?
11:32Mm-hmm.
11:32Oh, thank you.
11:34Oh, okay.
11:36Uh, well, there's just one little thing.
11:40Um, the immigration laws have gotten really tough in this country,
11:43so we're a little behind the eight ball going in.
11:45But we pledged your case, and we fought tooth and nail,
11:49and the law says you can stay,
11:51but only if you have our baby.
11:53Hmm.
11:54What?
11:55The agent said that if you were pregnant with an American citizen,
12:00then they couldn't deport you.
12:02So we thought, you need a baby in your belly.
12:05We need a surrogate.
12:07Win, win, win.
12:12Surrogate?
12:12Oh, well, it would be our baby.
12:14It would just be growing inside of you.
12:18Hmm.
12:20Okay, uh, well, uh, oh, okay, it's like this.
12:24The three of us are making your famous Sheshwan dumplings,
12:27and I'm the dough,
12:30and Carlos is the pork,
12:33and you're the oven.
12:39I have baby?
12:40Okay, we take care of everything.
12:41You know, uh, hospital bills and maternity clothes
12:44and Lamaze classes.
12:46And, of course, you wouldn't have to do any work.
12:49Well, uh, maybe just a little light dusting.
12:51Nothing major.
12:54No!
12:55No, Xiaomei, you don't have a choice.
12:56It's either this or go back to China.
12:58Not to baby!
13:00No!
13:00No!
13:07They had to push the dusting, didn't you?
13:12Peter, I don't think I'm being unreasonable here.
13:14It's not like I'm gonna advertise my addiction history,
13:17but if your kids ask a direct question,
13:19I'm not gonna lie to them.
13:22Right, uh-huh.
13:23Good point.
13:27Listen, I don't expect you to lie about the alcoholism.
13:30I mean, they know that's how we met.
13:31It's just, you know, the other thing.
13:33Oh, the other thing.
13:35They're just getting to know you,
13:37and so I want them to focus on your good qualities.
13:39I just don't know how they'll react
13:40if they find out that you're a sex addict.
13:46What are you so happy about?
13:49You know how you were mad at Mom
13:50about not letting Matthew come to dinner?
13:52Yeah.
13:54I just figured out the funniest way
13:56for you to get back at her.
13:59Okay, what's on the schedule for today?
14:01I have got the Boston toy presentation ready to go.
14:04Actually, I don't have time for a full pitch,
14:06so just give me the gist.
14:09Excuse me?
14:10You know, boil it down.
14:12Give me one line.
14:16Okay, basically, it's toys are fun.
14:19I hate it.
14:20How can you hate it?
14:21I only gave you three words.
14:22It's three words I hate.
14:24Okay, I'm gonna take over
14:25the Boston toy company account.
14:26No, you cannot take over.
14:27In the meantime, you should all be aware,
14:29I don't like the way you people
14:31have been filing your expense reports.
14:33There's been a lot of padding.
14:34Meanwhile, this company is hemorrhaging money.
14:37I'm gonna put a stop to it.
14:39So, I have hired a forensic accountant.
14:42He's gonna go through them,
14:43make sure everything's kosher.
14:44I find one receipt, one bar tab
14:47that's fishy, and it's grounds for dismissal.
14:51Oh, Scavel.
14:53He's gonna start with you.
14:56Can't believe that son of a bitch
14:58hired a forensic accountant.
15:00It's more whipped than I thought.
15:02Well, he's tragically underestimated us.
15:04The gloves are coming off.
15:05You know, maybe I should just quit.
15:07What?
15:08Yesterday, you were up in arms.
15:09Now, now, you ready to cave?
15:11If Ed is determined to get me,
15:12sooner or later, he's gonna get me.
15:13It's just a matter of time.
15:14No, no, we are not backing down.
15:17I'm gonna walk over to Ed's office right now,
15:18and I'm gonna make very clear
15:19that if you're out the door,
15:20I'm right behind you.
15:21We can't both be unemployed.
15:23Oh, it'll never happen.
15:24He knows this place will go down
15:25like a house of cards without me.
15:28Honey, wait. Just wait.
15:29What? What?
15:32I'm not gonna hide behind my wife's skirt.
15:34We're a team. I'm just lending support.
15:36That's not the way it's gonna look
15:37to everybody else out there.
15:39Look, let me talk to him.
15:41Man to man.
15:42If my way doesn't work,
15:43then we'll do it your way.
15:46Okay. Go get him.
16:16Oh, my God.
16:17What? Oh, my God.
16:19What happened?
16:21I think I gave him just cause.
16:25Oh.
16:33Susan knew she couldn't afford
16:35to keep the P.I. from revealing
16:37her affair with Carl.
16:38And since Edie would learn
16:40the truth anyway,
16:42Susan felt it would be better
16:44if it came from her.
16:46Which is how she came to write
16:48a letter begging Edie for forgiveness.
16:51Her words were so sincere and heartfelt,
16:54from the moment she mailed it,
16:56Susan knew
16:59she was a dead woman.
17:05You know, Caleb,
17:09since the day you were born,
17:11I've always thought of you
17:12as a blessing.
17:15You do know that, right?
17:18I guess.
17:23How come Maddie's not here?
17:26Because this is our special day.
17:28Just you and me.
17:32Is he mad at me
17:33because of Danielle?
17:35No.
17:36He knows that you didn't mean
17:37to scare her.
17:39Because he said it was okay
17:40for me to kiss her.
17:43What did you say?
17:44He said Danielle liked me
17:46and that she wouldn't fight me
17:47if I gave her a kiss.
17:50Your brother told you that?
17:53Maddie said that
17:53she was waiting for me
17:54and that she wanted
17:56a really big kiss.
18:02What else did your brother tell you?
18:07Shami?
18:11Made you some hot cocoa.
18:15I guess the baby thing
18:16didn't really appeal to you, huh?
18:20I know it's a lot to ask.
18:21It's just Carlos and I
18:22think of you as family.
18:24Don't you think of us as family?
18:26Oh, yes.
18:29You are like mother to me.
18:34Well, if we are so freaking close,
18:36what's the big deal?
18:38It's nine months out of your life.
18:40I will be ruined.
18:43Ruined?
18:46Down there.
18:50Wait.
18:51Are you a virgin?
18:54Wow.
18:56If I have baby,
18:57I will be shamed.
19:00Are you kidding?
19:02No one cares about virginity
19:03in this country.
19:04It went out of style
19:05in the 50s
19:05and trust me, honey,
19:06it ain't making a comeback.
19:10Seriously, no one cares.
19:12Husband would care.
19:14No man want me if I ruined.
19:16I want a husband so much.
19:21Well, what kind of husband do you want?
19:24Do you want a rich husband?
19:27Well, then, rich men don't marry virgins
19:29for the same reasons
19:30they don't hire chauffeurs
19:31who can't drive.
19:32They value experience.
19:35Really?
19:37Would I lie to family?
19:43Here are the numbers you wanted.
19:45Lynette, wait.
19:48Have you heard from Tom?
19:49He's not answering his cell phone,
19:51but you don't have to worry, okay?
19:52You got what you wanted.
19:53He's out of the building.
19:54Come in here and close the door.
19:57You sure?
19:58I might punch you, too.
19:59I'll take my chances.
20:02If this is where you want me
20:04to apologize for my husband,
20:06I'm not gonna do it.
20:08Maybe he shouldn't have hit you,
20:09but you provoked him.
20:10Now, wait a minute.
20:10No!
20:11I'm sorry Tom gets punished
20:13because you can't deal
20:14with your screwed-up marriage.
20:16It is pathetic, Ed.
20:17If you had stood up to your wife
20:18in the first place,
20:19none of this what?
20:20I love it.
20:21You're giving me crap
20:23about my marriage.
20:24You know what?
20:25Here.
20:27The forensic accountant
20:28found some interesting stuff
20:29in Tom's expense reports.
20:30It seems on his last three trips east,
20:33he cashed in his first-class ticket
20:34and took a detour to Atlantic City.
20:36That can't be right.
20:38It's all there.
20:39Hotels, bar tabs.
20:41Oh, and on this page,
20:43two tickets to a show.
20:48And flowers.
20:53That doesn't make any sense.
20:54There's got to be
20:54some kind of an explanation for this.
20:57Before you pass judgment
20:58on someone else's marriage,
21:00I'd clean up my own house first.
21:09Sorry, I don't know
21:10what's taking Danielle
21:10so long to get dressed.
21:12Just give her a break, Mom.
21:13I'm sure she's just
21:13trying to look nice
21:14for our company.
21:15Well, I hope she doesn't
21:16get too dressed up.
21:17I like people to be comfortable.
21:19Oh, I'm comfortable.
21:23Honey, what are you wearing?
21:24You got me this for Christmas,
21:26don't you remember?
21:27Yeah, I just am worried
21:28you might be a little cold.
21:29I think it's plenty warm in here.
21:32Don't you, Mr. McMillan?
21:35Uh, sure.
21:39Well, uh, we should
21:41probably start eating.
21:41We don't want our frittatas
21:42to get cold.
21:43Right.
21:44Good.
21:45Um, sorry.
21:45Everybody dig in.
21:50Wow.
21:50Does anybody else think
21:52this salsa's a little too spicy?
21:55I always say
21:56the hotter the better.
22:02So, Mr. McMillan,
22:03I hear you went
22:04to Perkins College.
22:05I'm thinking about
22:06going there after I graduate.
22:08Uh, Perkins, huh?
22:10I was there.
22:11I made it to every party
22:12and I went to classes
22:14in my spare time.
22:16No, actually,
22:17it's a great college.
22:18I think you'd like it.
22:20Isn't this wonderful?
22:21Good food,
22:23pleasant conversation.
22:24This really is
22:25a very special night.
22:28I feel the same way.
22:36So, Peter,
22:37is it growing?
22:40What?
22:41Uh, the campus.
22:43Has it grown at all
22:44since you've been there?
22:45Uh,
22:48yeah, it's, uh,
22:49it's grown considerably.
22:52I would just love
22:53to get my hands
22:54on a brochure.
22:57The Alumni Association
22:59is always sending me stuff.
23:00You know,
23:00I'll get you something.
23:03Oh, my God,
23:03are you okay?
23:08I just remembered,
23:09you know,
23:09this guy I'm sponsoring,
23:10he said he needed
23:11to see me tonight,
23:11so I should go to him.
23:13Well, I guess
23:13that's important, so...
23:15Yeah, so I should go.
23:16No need to show me out.
23:23What a shame.
23:24I really wanted him
23:26to have a chance
23:26to get to know you guys.
23:27Don't worry,
23:28I...
23:29I think we made
23:30an impression.
23:38Hey, hey.
23:40I didn't know
23:41if you were coming back.
23:43I waited until
23:44the parking lot cleared.
23:47So, um...
23:49What happened?
23:50You said you were
23:51just gonna go in there
23:51and talk to him.
23:52I know, I know, I know
23:53I shouldn't have hit him.
23:56But what's done is done.
24:00Anything else going on?
24:02Like what?
24:03I don't know.
24:05Anything you want
24:05to talk about?
24:07Because there's nothing
24:07you couldn't tell me.
24:09I would understand.
24:10No, I feel good about this.
24:12It's okay,
24:12because I didn't fit in
24:13around here anyway.
24:14I'm gonna get another job
24:15someplace else.
24:16Everything's good.
24:17And you, I love.
24:20I love you, too.
24:25You know what's weird?
24:27No.
24:28What?
24:29In all the years
24:31we have been married,
24:32I have never seen you
24:35lead with your fists.
24:37Why not?
24:40Maybe I've still got
24:41some surprises in me.
24:44Maybe you do.
24:52Is it done?
24:53Mm-hmm.
24:55Oh.
24:57We can mourn your brother
24:58later.
24:59Right now there are things
25:00that still need to be done.
25:03We need to get rid
25:04of everything.
25:06Mattress, clothes,
25:07all of it.
25:19Mom, the door's locked.
25:22I know.
25:25Mom, you need to open
25:26this door right now.
25:31Mom!
25:52Honey, why aren't you
25:54dressed yet?
25:54We have to be at the
25:55fertility clinic
25:55in 40 minutes.
25:57Oh, shoot.
25:58Is that today?
25:59And give Shamae
26:00a kick in the pants.
26:01I haven't seen her all morning.
26:06Hey.
26:08Today's the big day.
26:10You ready to make a baby?
26:15Ready.
26:28Please.
26:30Be gentle.
26:38Honey, come on.
26:40You're going to be late.
26:46I think she's confused
26:48as to how we're
26:49going to make
26:50this baby happen.
26:52And were you planning
26:53on setting her straight?
26:57Next thing out of my mouth.
27:02Come on.
27:03The guy's ready to explode.
27:04I don't care.
27:05I'm not sleeping
27:06with Mom's boyfriend.
27:07You can't back out now.
27:08You were great the other night.
27:09You got Peter on the hook.
27:10He's primed.
27:11I was just messing
27:11with his head
27:12to get back at Mom.
27:13That's all.
27:13Yeah, but why stop there?
27:15She's keeping you
27:15from Matthew.
27:16Now, come on.
27:16She deserves this.
27:17I am not that stupid.
27:19Go grind your own ass.
27:21That's him.
27:21I don't have time
27:22for this crap.
27:22Now, strip down
27:23your bra and panties now.
27:24Get out of my room,
27:24you psycho.
27:30My mom will be back
27:30for a while,
27:31so you probably
27:31don't want to wait around.
27:33Well, that's okay.
27:33I just wanted to make sure
27:34you got the Perkins catalog.
27:36Your mom told me
27:37that you're going
27:38on a tour there tomorrow.
27:39Yeah.
27:40You're going to love it.
27:41The campus is beautiful.
27:42The teachers are amazing,
27:44and the student body
27:45is such a great mix.
27:46You know,
27:46they're all about diversity.
27:49Whatever.
27:49All right.
27:50Well, I'll let my mom
27:51know you stopped by.
27:53Okay.
27:57Andrew,
27:58I also wanted to apologize
28:00for leaving so fast
28:01the other night.
28:04I started to get the feeling
28:05that your sister
28:06was coming on to me,
28:07which was upsetting
28:08because...
28:08You're a sex addict?
28:11Your mom told you about that?
28:12Let's just say the word's out.
28:15But, um,
28:16I'm curious.
28:17Back in the day,
28:18what kind of stuff
28:19were you into?
28:22I don't know
28:23that I want to talk
28:23about that.
28:24Well, I just want
28:25to make sure
28:25you're not into
28:26anything too freaky.
28:27You know, I mean,
28:28you are dating my mom,
28:28and I'm kind of
28:29protective of her.
28:30Well, you can relax.
28:31I mean, I wasn't
28:32some sort of pervert.
28:33You know,
28:34all I can say is
28:35I went through
28:36a dark period,
28:36and I slept
28:37with a whole lot of people.
28:41People?
28:43What's wrong?
28:45No, it's just that
28:46when most guys
28:47discuss their conquest,
28:48they don't say people.
28:52Oh, well...
28:54No, it's okay.
28:56I appreciate the fact
28:58that you value
28:59diversity.
29:08Who is it?
29:09Mike.
29:14Susan?
29:15Hi.
29:16Sorry.
29:16I'm just on the lookout
29:17for Edie.
29:18Oh, well,
29:19you can relax.
29:20Edie won't be coming
29:21after you.
29:21Why?
29:22I talked to the P.I.,
29:23and he's not going
29:23to tell her anything.
29:25What did you say?
29:27I paid him off.
29:28So it's over.
29:30I just thought
29:30you should know.
29:31Well, wait.
29:34Why would you do that?
29:36People just get hurt
29:37if it gets out.
29:39I didn't see the point.
30:06I'll tell him over.

34:19seriously
34:20after last night I didn't exactly think you'd be too keen on sitting next to me in a car for
34:24three hours
34:26consider me a cheerleader for anything that expedites me getting you out from under my roof
34:33glad we can come to an understanding
34:55well why do we stop here we have half a tank left there's so many things I want to say
35:00to you
35:00andrew but mostly I just want you to know how sorry I am sorry for what every child deserves to
35:10be loved unconditionally and I thought that was the kind of love that I had for you
35:18maybe if I had it would have been different
35:23why do I suddenly get the feeling we're not going to make it out to Perkins College today
35:35what are you doing

35:40with some money and that should

36:14I win
36:17you win
36:20I remember the look in your eyes when I told you I was gay
36:24and I knew
36:25that one day
36:26you would stop loving me
36:31so here we are
36:33I was alright
36:35so I
36:36I win
36:41good for you
36:50good for you
36:51good for you
36:55good for you
36:59good for you
37:13I don't know.
37:33Hi. I made you a thank you pie. And by made, I mean bought.
38:15So what exactly are you thanking me for?
38:19For keeping Edie from smashing my face in?
38:23That's the nicest thing anybody ever did for me.
38:26Just trying to keep peace on the lane.
38:29Well, you keep telling yourself that.
38:31I know why you really paid that guy off.
38:35You still care about me.
38:38What?
38:41You're always worried about Julie and me.
38:44And you beat up my new boyfriend.
38:47And now you're protecting me from Edie.
38:50Do you know what all that means?
38:53That you're high maintenance?
38:58All right.
38:59You go ahead and be coy, fine.
39:02I'll be the one to break the ice.
39:06I've never stopped caring about you.
39:10Is that why you jumped in bed with Carl?
39:13I would have never even gone there
39:15if I had thought there was a chance with us.
39:18You just closed the door so completely.
39:21I...
39:23Can we just not talk about him?
39:26Have some more pie.
39:28I know you like pie.
39:33I know you like me.
39:38Listen.
39:40I'm not asking for us to get back together.
39:43I just want us to be friends.
39:47Susan.
39:48Yes?
39:51Your house is on fire.
39:58My whole house is on fire.
40:00When the truth is ugly,
40:02people try to keep it hidden
40:04because they know if revealed,
40:07the damage it will do.
40:10So they conceal it within sturdy walls.
40:14Or they place it behind closed doors.
40:19Or they obscure it with clever disguises.
40:24But truth, no matter how ugly,
40:27always emerges.
40:34And someone we care about
40:36always ends up getting hurt.
40:45And someone else will revel in their pain.
40:49And that's the ugliest truth of all.
40:58It was before and you can see it.
41:12So we please take care.
41:13Do no harm.
41:14If you are doing anything,
41:17It didn't reallyезBT.
41:20For fear,
41:20I'm going to give you
41:22all the thoughts and embrace.
