Brothers and Sisters:


- So we have a deal.
- We are going to make beautiful wine.

You do know that your husband
made a pass at Rebecca?

It's stupid, inexcusable,
and the second it happened, I stopped.

- You bring all your first dates here.
- You're not the first I've brought.

You are another charming,
intelligent louse.

And I am guessing that Joe did not
just come on to you out of the blue.

Just because you're a whore,
doesn't mean I am.

You think she can stay here
while things sort of calm down?

You're welcome here. You're family.

Would you give me the opportunity
to try to make it up to you?

Will you marry me?

Tommy, I need to know,
how many of them are actually coming?

All of them, except for Joe.
At least that's what I've been told.

You make them sound
like an invading army.

Well, given everything that's happened,

I'm concerned about them all being here
with our potential investors.

And the combination of the Walker family
with endless amounts of alcohol.

OK, I get it. It's really, really funny.

Look, Holly, they're not
teenagers at a kegger, all right?

This is our opening.
They'll... They'll behave.

- Ooh. Right in the ribs.
- They're kicking?

- Yeah, both of them.
- It's the orange juice.

The sugar makes them nuts.

Tommy, I know that this never would've
happened without you and your father.

Your family comes with the package.

All right, look. There's a lot
of things you can say about my family.

Bottom line:
When it counts, they show up.

I'm not going.

Oh, so you send strawberry shortcake as
your proxy, or is this for me?

I can't now. Between work and
the disaster that is my marriage,

things couldn't get worse. Except if
Joe and I were to spend a cozy weekend

at a vineyard where everybody knows
he tongued my year-old half-sister.

You don't have to go and you don't
have to justify it to anybody.

Everybody is
going to understand, even Tommy.

- Even Mom?
- You know, don't worry about Mom.

This is about you.
Now, how are you?

Oh, God. I've been baking.
And I never bake. So you tell me.

- You're bad. It's bad.
- He keeps wanting to talk about it.

And I just can't hear it.
It's not even about the kiss anymore.

Things have been said,
I don't know how to go back,

I'm too scared to move forward.

It's like we're stuck
in relationship purgatory,

which feels more like relationship hell.

- Oh, God.
- Oh, Sarah. I'm so, so sorry.

- Is there anything that I can do?
- Just keep my cake level.

Wheels up for D.C. Tomorrow at seven.
You're coming with.

- Consider yourself packed.
- Senator.

- Sarah.
- What happens in D. C?

Uh... nothing.

Kitty, if you can't deliver
the cake just tell me...

No, no, no, no, no. Sarah,
I am your bearer of all things pastry.

Thank you. OK, then.
Well, I will leave you two

- to discuss politics...
- Would you stop.

...or whatever it is
you talk about. Senator.

Thanks for coming by.
What was that all about?

Oh, I can't go to D.C.,
I have a family obligation.

- To deliver a cake?
- Well...

Maybe I need to be
more obvious than lingerie.

I'm going back to vote in favor of
school vouchers and I'm going to have

plenty of time to discuss
the other important issues of the day,

like the little question you popped.

Oh, yeah.

Wow.

Wow?

Well, yeah. I mean, it was
a really big question, and I...

You know, I just think...

I think that my timing was a little off.

- Kitty, what are you trying to say?
- My sister's marriage is falling apart,

and I don't think that this is the time

to be flashing some
big rock in her face. I...

- "Flashing some big rock in her face?"
- A figure of speech.

Not literal. I didn't mean it.

That's presumptuous.
Considering you're the one who asked.

Yes, I did.

You asked me to marry you,
now you're taking it back.

I'm not. I want things to calm down
a little bit with Sarah, that's all.

So you're putting
a pin in your proposal?

For how long?

Wh...

Oh, you are being the
worst kind of politician. OK, look.

Spend time with your family.
We'll talk when I get back.

- I need you to take the cake.
- Why?

You have a business trip
with your boyfriend?

Well, yeah. We've got some very
important issues to deal with.

- Work issues.
- Really? Is it about global warming?

That's fan...
Oh, no. Wrong political party.

You going to resolve
the w*r in Iraq? That's fa...

Again, wrong political party.
So anything short of that

isn't as important as the opening
of our brother's new business.

What about the Sarah factor in this?

Have you considered that?

I mean, think about it.
Holly has basically ruined her life,

and we're supposed to show up
and play all "nicey-nice" and...

Oh, I mean,
I know it's for Tommy and all,

but I really don't feel
comfortable being there.

Well, now that you say it like that,
is it OK for me to go?

- Yeah. Oh, yeah.
- Why?

It's totally different because...

Because you're a brother.

Yeah. You're a boy.

I love you.

- Here. Would you please just take it?
- Just got out of rehab.

- Not going to a vineyard by myself.
- Kitty and I think it's unfair to Sarah

if we go.
You're not in the same pickle.

- Pickle?
- Whatever. Jam.

You're friends with Rebecca,
consider yourself Switzerland.

Becca's not going.
She doesn't talk to Holly.

You're nuts if you think
Mom's gonna let you out.

What's Mom gonna do?
Call a meeting and force us?

Now, listen, I understand
if you don't want to go.

You have to listen to your heart.
Especially you, Sarah.

It's going to be hard on Tommy, but
he's dealt with disappointment before.

- What am I supposed to do with that?
- Look, I'll go if you guys go.

I'm not showing up alone
with Mom and a shortcake.

- That seems very...
- I resent that.

- You were about to say "gay. "
- No, I wasn't.

- Were.
- I wasn't.

- You're such a child.
- Boys.

Why did you have to
turn this into a federal case?

- Trying to bow out gracefully.
- We're trying to support you.

- You're making things worse.
- I told you, you don't have to go.

You say that. I know you're
going to say I didn't support Tommy.

She's the one who convinced us
this is what you'd want.

I brought you a cake to deliver. Didn't
ask you to start a national movement.

Listen everyone, just stop it.
Please go.

I'm totally fine with it, OK?

All right. All right, this is the thing.

The thing is, is that it's...

Well, the truth is,
it's a really bad weekend for me, too.

Oh, for you. I thought you were
doing it out of compassion for me.

Well, I was. I was, but I still have to
go to Washington with the senator.

- It's really important.
- Oh!

Kitty, he's your boyfriend, his name
is Bob, and you see him every day.

Well, what happened
to following our hearts, Mother?

Referring to Sarah's heart,
not your heart.

- Oh, not...
- Mom. Mom. It's top-secret.

It's not...

Oh, it's not top-secret,
but it... Yes, it is.

It's a very sensitive
national security thing.

And I'm sorry.
That's all I can say about it.

I'm sorry. "Thing?"

That's why McCallister gave you
a bag of lingerie to take with you?

Oh, yeah. I can see the fate of
the free world hangs in the balance.

That's not the only thing hanging.

That's funny, Justin.
When did you get to be so funny?

Know what? Your excuse
pales in comparison with me

having to spend the weekend
being watched

- by the wicked witch of the west.
- Sarah.

This is a family thing, isn't it?

I was coming to make a sandwich,
I'll come back later.

Know what? I'll make you
a sandwich in a moment.

- Just give us a few moments.
- OK. Sorry.

OK.

Wow. That was a reality check.

Sarah, I told you. And it's just
until she finds another place to go.

Listen, I know. And I thought
I was fine with it. I really did.

- Where you going?
- Home.

Can't watch you run a bed and breakfast
for the girl that ruined my marriage.

Mind giving Tommy my cake
and tell him that I love him?

Sarah. Can I talk to you for a second?

What is it? It's kind of late.

Um...

I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

For all of this. I feel terrible.

Look, our marital problems
were there long before you were.

Yeah, still... I just, I feel awful.
I wish it had never happened.

Yeah. So do I.

You want some coffee?

I know things are crazy right now.

Don't you have
Tommy's opening this weekend?

Yeah, but it's not just Tommy's, is it?

- I'll get up there in my own time.
- He's your brother.

It's one of the most important days
of his life. You should be there.

- Yeah, well, I baked a cake.
- Oh, no.

Sarah, that's what
someone in my family would do.

But you guys?
You actually love each other.

I just can't imagine
anything more uncomfortable.

I'll go with you.
Yeah, I'll take the heat.

I want them to know.

I want you to know I'm still in this.

- Where's Mark?
- Mark? Wow, Mom.

I don't know if I'd pick this weekend
to take a girl up for, you know...

- You know, like the weekend.
- What do you mean?

Can we speak in code?
You're my mother.

- I'm not going to screw the guy.
- Oh, my God.

We're gonna have separate rooms.

There to get to know each other.

Sorry I brought it up. Excuse me.

How on Earth
did I ever raise such a prude!

It's fabulous out!
We're going to have a great weekend!

Wouldn't get your hopes up, bro'.

- Hi.
- You're prompt.

No traffic on the .
A straight sh*t all the way through.

Look, Saul...

You said you didn't want to speak to me.

I'm a very bad listener.
I just wanted to congratulate you.

Thank you.
You are catching me at a weak moment.

Honestly, I am too agitated
to even hold a grudge.

- What's going on? Looks beautiful.
- Who's that?

Don't tell me it's another relative.

No, no.
That's not a relative, thankfully.

His name is Mark August.
He's Nora's writing teacher.

- Her writing teacher?
- Yeah.

What've you got to be anxious about?

It's Rebecca. Of course.
We got into this whole thing, and...

Well, anyway, she took off
and I haven't heard from her since.

Look, Holly,
she's been staying with Nora.

- What? She's where?
- I didn't realize that you didn't know.

I mean, she could've
been in a ditch or anywhere.

Hold on.
There's no point in being upset.

- What is it? What?
- So how's Rebecca?

Oh, Holly.
I know this is all a bit complicated...

Complicated?
I have been worried to death.

Saul just told me
that you have been keeping her.

You didn't know? I'm so sorry.

- Hi.
- Hi.

And you're a mother?
I would expect at least a phone call.

I assumed you knew.

Rebecca moved out
and you assumed that she was what?

- Checking in with me?
- You knew she was hanging with Justin.

Why didn't you pick up the phone? Hi.

Oh, thank you.

Didn't realize there was
a parental notification law

that requires I report
on a -something.

- Didn't think I needed to get involved.
- Involved? Let me ask you.

How many loads of laundry
of hers have you done so far?

And is her photo hanging on that
charming stairway of yours yet?

I don't know what you're trying to say,

but this is between you and Rebecca.
I have my own children to deal with.

Oh, really? And what does Sarah
think of your hospitality?

I don't appreciate your attitude.

I'd think you'd be grateful to know
that your daughter is safe and sound.

Of course. I should write you a note.

- Hi.
- Hello.

- Hi.
- Bye.

- I have to get back to my family.
- And friends.

I didn't realize
that you were dating again.

If you're talking about Mark,
we're just...

Actually, he's my...

He likes wine.

Then you should have
a wonderful time here today.

Mom. Holly.

Wow. You're together.
Is everything OK?

- Yes. We're just catching up.
- Catching up.

Sarah and Joe are here.

Sarah came. And Joe.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Look at you.

How are you?

Oh, I'm fine. Is Kitty here yet?

- She's inside.
- Good.

- Hey, guys.
- You came. You came.

I'm so happy you came.

- Nora.
- Hi, Joe.

How was the traffic?

- It was fine.
- How was the traffic for you guys?

This place is unbelievable.
It's absolutely amazing.

Man of the moment.

Thanks for coming.

Let me show you the place.

What does a girl have to do
to get a drink here?

Follow Kevin around.

Robert, you know that
I wish I was there with you,

but I promise you, we will
work it out when we get back to L.A.

You have cold feet.
What is there to work out?

You know what? My feet are fine.

I am trying
to be sensitive to my sister,

and I'm also trying to salvage my
relationship with my almost fiancé...

The combination of which
is giving me a colossal headache,

and it's only going to be
compounded by the amount of wine

- that I am going to drink.
- Take something, OK?

If I take two aspirin,
will you call me in the morning?

All right.

Now I'm going to go back to enjoying
the cherry blossoms. By myself.

OK. Goodbye, honey.

- Thanks.
- For what?

For getting me up here.

Hey. Sarah, come here.
I want you to meet a friend of Dad's.

- Yeah. Sure. Just give me a sec.
- OK.

- I'm sorry they're being like this.
- Mmm.

We both knew I wasn't gonna be
the most popular guy in the room.

Bonnie and Stanley. They have
such great plans for this place.

- You're leaning towards "yes"?
- We'll talk business tomorrow.

- Today is just about some free wine.
- That's good.

What would he know?

I thought in Texas they
drank wine out of boxes.

- Has anyone told you, you are a snob?
- Mm-hmm.

I prefer to think my problem
is good taste.

Speaking of which,

how'd you like to take a romantic walk
with me through grape vines?

I would love to,

but I actually have to talk
to my daughter for just a moment.

I promise you, later on,
we will do the whole walking thing.

- OK.
- OK.

- What is it, Mom?
- Oh.

- How are you?
- I'm fine.

Oh, my cake is all smushed. I just...

You know, I wish that everybody wasn't
treating Joe like he was radioactive.

Sweetheart, you're exaggerating
just a little bit.

You didn't kiss him,
and you kiss everyone.

No one thought you were
going to bring him.

He wanted to come.
What was I supposed to do? Say no?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I will try to be more pleasant.

Thank you.

- But I'm confused. I'm angry at him.
- Yeah, you think I'm not?

Just please don't throw
any more fuel on the fire.

All right.

I'm sorry.

I probably shouldn't say this,
but I know what you're going through.

Let me put it that way.

I worry that if a man does this once,
he's going to again.

You're right.
You should not be saying this.

Sarah, I care about you.

Look, Mom,
I appreciate your point of view.

But we have children.

I know your marriage wasn't perfect,

but I am very glad
that you guys stayed together.

You know, I had a good childhood.

I grew up feeling like
I was part of something whole.

And that's all I wanted to give my kids.

Sarah. You're such a good mom.

I know you're not a quitter,
I wasn't either,

but maybe that's why I never let myself
see what was really happening.

I stood by your father blindly,
no matter what.

I don't want you to make
the same mistakes I did.

I don't want you to.

You have to decide whether you
can ever trust Joe again or not.

And if you can't...

What if I can?

Excuse me, you must be Mark?

- Mmm. You must be Holly.
- Hi.

You have a lovely place here.

Well, normally, I would say
it is very peaceful,

but not today.

You won't get any complaints from me.
I love a party.

- So you're Nora's writing teacher?
- Professor, actually,

but who's counting?

Well, you're hardly
the professorial type.

Aren't they usually a little lumpy,
with glasses and a cardigan sweater?

It's a little warm for a sweater,
isn't it?

Excuse me.
I don't mean to interrupt, Mark.

I'm sorry.
Holly, the vintner wants to see you.

- Well, it was lovely to meet you, Mark.
- Maybe I'll see you later.

What the hell are you doing?

I am trying to host a party,
if you don't mind.

Come on, Holly. It's a lot of crap.

If you screw with my sister,
I'm warning you. I want you to drop it.

Oh, I see. Time to stand up
for the family again, is it, Saul?

Don't waste your energy.
They're just friends.

So if you'll excuse me,
I have guests to attend to.

No.

What's the room situation?
Where am I putting my bag?

- Situation?
- Oh, whoa!

How did you get this drunk, this fast?
Let me know your secret.

My toe is stuck.

Oh, whoa. OK. You're cut off, missy.

- How much have you had?
- I've had sips.

Sips.

Why do I always have to
screw things up, Ken?

It's Kevin.
And what have you been drinking?

Oh, would you stop yelling?

It's always "blah, blah"
and thanks for the aspen.

Aspen?

You know, I had such
a bad headache and now...

Aspirin? What aspirin?

I don't know. It was aspirin. It was
in your little kit, kit thingy.

In my Dopp kit?

How many did you take?
How many did you take?

- That was it.
- How many did you take?

I took three because it was really bad.

- Do you know... Wait!
- OK, these...

- Robert is so mad at me.
- Kitty, these aren't aspirin.

They're prescription painkillers
from when I threw my back out.

What are they doing
pretending to be aspirin?

I don't have children.
Didn't think I had to childproof my kit!

Lie down and drink water.
You're going to be fine.

Not my fault you don't
have children. Stop it!

Should let me suffer
because I'm a horrible person.

No. How many people do you know

ask somebody to marry them
and then take it back?

What?
Who asked who to marry them?

- What?
- No, who?

- Yeah.
- Who asked who to marry them?

- Who?
- Who asked who to marry them?

Robert! Robert. Dumb.

I asked Robert to marry me
and he would've said yes,

except that he's in D.C. And I'm here.

Would you... You better shush... shush!

Because it's a sea-kit.
You can't tell anybody. Kevin. Kevin.

Especially Sarah. You, oh...

No, seriously, when I look at you
sometimes I remember when you...

- Kitty. Kitty.
... such a baby...

- Kitty.
- What?

- Are you going to marry McCallister?
- You know what I need to do?

- What?
- I need to put my head down.

- Kitty! Kitty!
- I... Just give me a second.

I'll be right back. I'll be right back.

How's it going?

Are we ever going
to have a civil conversation?

I have nothing to say to you.
Hey, get off me!

I told you I'm sorry.
I'm sick to death about it.

Not going to sit here
and pretend nothing happened.

You came on to a girl half your age.

Pathetic, considering
she's your wife's half-sister.

- It's disgusting, Joe.
- What's going on here?

- Nothing.
- I gave you a chance

- to do the right thing, you didn't.
- Excuse me?

- Sarah, just let it go.
- No, Joe. I won't let it go.

I knew about the whole thing.

Rebecca told me. All I did
was ask him to be honest with you.

That was not your place.

- I was crazy. I shouldn't be here.
- Joe, please don't...

You know, look.
I'm just making things worse, so...

This is about Tommy, not me.

- I'll see you at home.
- OK. Fine.

You happy now?

Mmm.

You taste it, then pour the rest
into the spittoon.

That'd mean a good chance of remaining
sober, and that's not an option.

OK. Well, one should never drink alone.

Sarah, can I talk to you for a second?

Not unless you want your head
handed to you on a platter.

No. None for him.
He's a friend of Bill's.

He's no friend of mine.

Will you listen to me? I'm sorry.
OK, I got carried away.

- I was upset.
- He was trying to stand up for you.

I can stand up for myself, Justin.

Not if we keep this pace.
None of us will.

Hey, hey, hey, hey! Justin!

- It's grape juice. Relax.
- Oh, God, that scared me. Fill her up.

Excuse me, can everybody hear me?

Yeah.

Good. Holly and I'd like to
welcome everybody here today.

For those of you who
haven't seen my wife, Julia,

we're expecting twins.

Thank you.
The thing about becoming a father...

...is it makes you think
about your own dad.

Our father wasn't perfect.
Maybe it came with the territory.

I don't know.

But before we were born,
he planted an orchard.

Just trees.

And pretty soon it turned
into this thriving business.

We're naming the new vineyard,
Walker Landing

because it's his vision
that we're celebrating today.

So to fathers and children

and a great new year of wine.

- Cheers.
- Cheers!

- Mazaltov.
- Well done.


Put your nose in it.

What do you think?

- It's very delicate for a Cabernet.
- Cabernet blend.

We like to mix things up around here.

Pardon me. Don't mean to disagree,
but I don't think it's delicate.

I think it's heavy-handed.

Then why don't you try the white wine.
You might find it less threatening.

Red wine doesn't thr*aten me.
Except when it's tannic and pushy.

- Saul.
- What?

Perhaps I should rephrase it.

I think it's bad wine.
I think it's immature and inappropriate.


Funny. I find it a bit overbearing.
Would you excuse us a moment?

- Why are you being so rude to him?
- Nora, I don't like him.

You don't like... Would you ask him
to stop acting like a den mother?

Who wants another glass
of Pinot with me?

- Me!
- I would.

Could we have more Pinot all around?

- Coming up.
- Stop it. Pull it together.

You're making a scene. I have investors.

- Great speech, dude.
- Thanks.

Look, dinner's ready. Let's go.

- Wait. Wait. Where's Kitty?
- Uh-uh.

Forget it. She's whacked out on
painkillers dreaming of her pending

- nuptials with McCallist... Didn't say.
- What?

- Pending what?
- I'm hungry.

- I'm starving.
- No. You have to...

I don't know why I say these things.
Like I have Tourette's.

There's going to be a wedding?
She didn't tell me. I'm so excited!

- There's going to be a wedding!
- That's choice.

Delirious over Kitty's marrying a
Republican she's known for three months,

but you're prepared to write off
my husband of ten years.

- That's lovely. So lovely.
- Sarah...

- Nora.
- Yes?

Dinner's being served.
Would you join me?

I'm in the middle
of something right now.

- I'll be with you in one moment, OK?
- I'll meet you in there.

- Can we just go eat? Please.
- You guys go, OK?

- I'm drinking my dinner.
- Sarah, stop.

I think we all need to talk. Now.

This is great. Just great.

We think this Cabernet is robust
and full-bodied.

But, of course, we want
the vineyard to do the talking.

Can the vineyard write a check?

You OK, dear?

- Yeah, they're just kicking.
- It's the garlic.

Remember with our first? Everything
had to be bland, bland, bland.

- How are you doing down there?
- I'm doing great. And you?

This is silly.

Why am I yelling at you over all
these people and these empty chairs?

- Do you mind?
- Please do.

You know, I'm fine with eating solo,

but I was starting to get flashbacks
of my high school cafeteria years.

Somehow I doubt
you ever lacked a lunch date.

Do you know that I have been
dying to take a walk all day?

How would you feel about giving me
a tour of the vineyard?

I don't know what I feel about it.

I mean, I certainly wouldn't
want to leave any potential investors.

They're so blotto.
They'll never know you've gone.

- I know you're angry with my husband.
- I think angry's an understatement.

I have to say, in our defense,
we do feel betrayed.

But this isn't about you, Saul.
Or any of you.

What are you going to do, Sarah?

I mean, that's the question.

I don't know, Justin.

Now, is that so hard
for you all to understand?

Now I know that you all think
you're doing this noble thing,

punishing him,
but I have to sort all this out.

And all I can hear
are your voices in my head.

So, please,
just exercise some self-control.

- Like Kevin with Kitty and McCallister.
- Oh, no, no, no. Come on.

That's different. McCallister's a public
figure, they're there to be dumped on.

But he's going to marry Kitty.

Which no one is supposed to know about.

- All right.
- Especially you.

What's that mean? "Especially me?"

What? You guys don't think I've got

the strength to handle
good news about a sibling?

Let's not generalize.
It was just Kitty, OK?

God! Where are
the boundaries in this family?

I can live with your good news,

but you're going to have to live with
my bad news or learn to shut up, OK?

- OK. We will.
- OK, Sarah. OK.

Great. Are we done here?

- Yes.
- Good! Let's go eat dinner.

- Let's go. Move.
- All right, everyone.

- Walk. Come on, let's go.
- Come on. Seriously.

This is the kind of night that
poets dream about.

"The only reason for being alive
is being fully alive. "

- D.H. Lawrence said that.
- I couldn't agree more.

I could stay out here forever.

Oh! Oh!

- Thank you, mister.
- My pleasure, madam.

You came to me on a summer's night

And from your beam you made my dream

'Cause we love you, Mr. Moonlight

Oh, is that D.H. Lawrence too?

It's the Beatles.

Why don't we just keep walking?

Hey. Sorry we're late.

We had to attend
to a little family business.

- Where's Holly?
- I think she took a walk.

Yeah, she wanted to show
the professor her grapes.

I need my bag.

- Where have you been?
- I went for a walk.

- With Holly, all this time?
- Yeah.

Oh, I feel like I went to the prom and
my date ditched me for another girl.

To be fair, Nora, your interpretation
of a date is a little strange.

You basically ignored me all day.

I didn't, I was dealing
with a family situation.

I didn't know where things stood.
You give mixed signals.

Mixed signals?
I invited you away for the weekend.

Everyone knows what that means...
The weekend.

Even if it wasn't happening for you,
even if something switched off

in you between L.A. And here,
did you have to go off with her?

Did something happen?

Did something happen?

We kissed.

I'm sorry, Nora. It was...
It was a spontaneous connection.

A spontaneous connection?

Is that what you think that was?

- Well, that sucked.
- No, it didn't. Come on.

Sorry. I feel I started this.
I couldn't help it.

If you're not happy,
you do something about it.

Get a job,
you don't cheat on our sister.

Look, it's over, OK?
Just drink your juice.

I get it. It kind of feels
like now that Dad's not around,

it's our place to do the
whole male protective thing, you know?

Dad would've been really proud of you.

Absolutely. Look at us.

We're drinking a very decent
Walker Landing Pinot all because of you.

- Yeah.
- I don't know why I'm surprised.

- Why?
- What?

- You remember the lemonade stand?
- Yeah, you raked it in.

You remember that?

Because you both gave up.
You drank your lemonade.

He was there for hours. Knew exactly
what the high traffic hours were,

he knew where to put the lemonade stand.
You were already a CEO, Tommy.

- You did good, bro'.
- Yeah.

- Thanks, man.
- To Walker Landing.

- Walker Landing.
- Cheers.

Thank you very much. It was great.
Really appreciate it.

You certainly got your
money's worth tonight, didn't you?

Excuse me?

It seems you managed to have
quite a good time, everything told.

You know what they say,
if a hostess can't enjoy herself,

what's the point of throwing a party?

My God, you're smug. I think that's
the thing I dislike about you the most.

I am so sick of your
self-righteousness, Nora.

- I don't even listen to you anymore.
- Look at you. Oh, look at you.

You're so proud of yourself, aren't you?
Making out in a vineyard.

There was nothing to be proud of.
It was just a kiss. These things happen.

Just ask Sarah.

Don't you dare
bring my daughter into this!

You know, at least the two of us
were consenting adults.

One more word and I will rip
the tongue right out of your mouth.

When I think of what
you've done to her, it makes me sick!

- What I've done to her?
- Yes!

Guys! What... Are you OK?

Yes. Yes. Fine.
We just need a little privacy.

Could you keep it down?
There's investors out there, Mom.

- Would you close the door, please?
- Close the door.

I forgot about that chapter.

When you had your paws
all over my brother.

You seem to be obsessed
with the men in my life.

You can't get over the fact
that William treated you like a hooker.

He paid you off with a house, whereas
he loved me and mine like family.

- Family?
- Yes.

Your family is insane!

Why do you think he always
wanted to come to my place?

He was stifled by you, Nora.

Bored out of his mind.

You should have seen
the smile on his face

when he came through my door.

Why did he always
come home to me then?

Even your own daughter
would rather sleep at my house.

Yes, because you've poisoned her mind!
You and your whole family!

Oh, no! She had nothing but disdain
for you from the moment we met her.

I don't want to rub it in,
but Rebecca begged me to let her stay.

Rebecca is none of your business!

Your only job was to
let me know where she was!

I'd sooner call social services
than I'd send her back to you!

- Guys, you're screaming.
- All of you out! Now!

Go, go, go.

You are a car wreck.

I'd feel sorry for you
if you weren't so vicious.

You've spent your entire life
living off of other people's money!

Everything I have, I have earned.

You have not worked
a single day in your entire life.

What do you have to show for yourself,
Little Miss Pasadena?

A box full of recipes?

Oh, Holly.

I can't believe you did that.

This dress is couture.

- I'm sure it's been stained before.
- Oh!

Oh, is that all you've got?

Oh, lettuce.
Lettuce. Definitely scary.

How very...

Mom?

You know what I miss most about him?

His hair.

He had great hair.

I lived apart from him so much...

...that sometimes I think I'm just

waiting for him to sneak away from
your house and come and stay with...

Holly...

...I'm going to tell you something
you don't want to hear.

You have to let him go.

I did.

Can I say something
that you don't want to hear?

Yeah.

You don't want my daughter
living in your house.

Oh, God, where am I?

Kevin. Kevin.

What time is it?

It's time to get up and go. Look.
I've made you a lovely pot of tea.

- Tea?
- Yeah, let's go.

- Who are you?
- Kitty.

How long have I been sleeping?

Since three o'clock
yesterday afternoon.

My God. You're kidding me. You serious?

- Kevin, did somebody slip me a roofie?
- You kind of slipped yourself one.

Or three. No time for details.

Jump in the shower
and we'll hit the road.

Kevin, come on. You got...
What did I miss?

Nothing. Just,
you know, a lot of drinking. The usual.

- You're conscious.
- I'm going to go pack.

Please. I feel like Rip Van Winkle here
and Kevin is being weird.

Just...
You have to tell me what happened.

Not much.
Apparently you're engaged.

Oh, I'm not. I'm not.
Well, not yet.

It's just...
And who told you any... Oh, Kevin!

Kevin. Of course. Kevin.
And I don't even remember telling him.

You never have to filter your good news,
no matter what is going on in my life.

The good stuff's so rare.

You got to share the wealth.

I promise I will give you
all the gory details. If and when.

Hey, how was your cake?

Oh, it turned out
so much better than I expected.

Mmm.

- You're up early.
- I never was much of a late sleeper.

Ah.

Nora, I feel really badly.

Well, I should've known
what I was getting into, dating you.

A person always tells you
exactly who they are

from the first moment you meet them.

When I first met you,
you were sleeping with an undergrad.

- Right.
- Yeah.

I hope that I didn't ruin
your entire weekend.

No.

Actually, it did turn out
to be "the" weekend,

just a very different kind of "the. "

What, the weekend we
ended things before they really began?

No, the weekend
I learned to trust my instincts.

- No offense.
- None taken.

- Nora?
- Yeah?

I realize that was a break-up speech,
but how am I going to get home?

Mark, this isn't high school.
I'll drive you home.

You can sit in the back.

Thank you.
I'm sorry it got a little, you know...

Are you kidding?

Best wine I ever tasted was grown
by a man on a rooftop in Brooklyn.

Got to be crazy to make good wine.

And, clearly, you guys
are going to do just fine.

- Thank you. Drive safe.
- Bye.

Oh, my God.
I can't believe we pulled it off.

Congratulations, sweetie.

Mmm.

- What? Are you OK?
- It's normal third trimester...

Oh, my God!

No. This is... This is not normal.

Come here. Come here.
Sit down. Sit down.

- I think I'm having contractions.
- OK. OK. I'll be right back.

- No.
- I'll be right back.

Justin. You have to
come right now! It's Julia!

- Come on! Hurry up!
- This can't be happening.

- This can't be happening.
- You OK?

- How long...
- My water broke.

- Call the paramedics, get clean towels.
- No! Don't go!

- Honey. I'll be right back.
- They're not ready yet.

Everything's going to be OK. I know.

- Can you sit? OK.
- Oh, my God.

- Look. It's OK.
- They're barely weeks.

- They're not ready yet.
- Breathe. Look at me and breathe.

- I'm going to help you. Breathe.
- I'm going to push.

No, don't push.
Do not push. Do not push.
