02x08 - Something New

[bunniefuu]

ROBERT: Previously on
Brothers & Sisters...

We have to stop.
You're Rebecca's brother.

Julia took Elizabeth and left,

and I can't seem to get an answer
as to when or if she's coming back.

I wanted to talk to you about Joe.
And the kiss.

Oh, please. We are so past that.

I may have led him on a little bit.

Did you tell Jason about
you and Scotty's little "slumber party"?

No, actually.

You are beyond pathetic.

You spend so much time
trying to get somebody to love you,

- that you can't help anybody.
- That's enough!

I can't do this to my family.
I'm sorry if I hurt you.

Can you just go?

I don't want to wait to get married.
I want to get married now.

"From This Moment,
A Moment Like This,

"Because You Loved Me..."
Because You Loved Me?

Now how is that a good wedding song?
It's past tense.

Oh, perfect for my marriage.

Shouldn't your fiancé be doing this?

Well, I guess the second time around,
it sort of loses its allure.

Yeah, it's kind of like going through
the steps again.

Speaking of which,
I need to apologize to Rebecca.

- Yeah, she probably hates you.
- Oh, no, no.

No one expects you to be warm
and fuzzy at your own intervention.

Here, who wants a cookie?

Mom, how's it going
looking for a dress?

It's so depressing.

Every single mother-of-the-bride
dress is either beige or bedazzled.

There's all these necks
and sleeves and jackets and things.

You get to be a certain age
and they try to desex you.

I mean, I might as well be
dressed in beige paper

and headed off towards
the recycling bin.

- How about Old Blue Eyes?
- That's a good idea.

No. We can't, we can't.

Because Robert's first wedding

was practically Sinatra-themed.

What about that beautiful song
by the Dixie Chicks?

At a Republican candidate's wedding?

Well, if you rule out every Democrat,

you're basically left with Ted Nugent,
Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top.

Well, I'm a Democrat and I lost
my virginity to She's Got Legs.

- Sarah!
- Wow, crossing the line, Sarah.

- Mine was the Dirty Dancing theme.
- Honestly.

- No!
- Wow. Be gayer.

Awesome.

I bet Kitty's was talk radio.

Hey. Justin?

Don't look at me, I'm not having
this conversation in front of Mom.

- Oh, please. Pink Floyd's The Wall.
- Come on.

- Gabby Kliner. The th grade.
- You heard that?

TOMMY: Thanks.

I have two first-sex soundtracks,
girl and guy.

Okay, now stop!
Stop, you guys, please.

- You're ruining all music for me.
- Sorry I'm late.

What's up, buddy?

Robert, what song did you lose
your virginity to?

Mom!

Well, we're just trying to figure out
our wedding song.

Interesting methodology.
Um, Endless Love.

ALL: Aw.

Yeah, okay. Bad news.

I spoke to Jason
and he can't come to the wedding.

You spoke with Jason?

Yeah. Briefly, and then the other day
we got completely cut off.

The other day?

I haven't spoken to him in weeks
and he's called you twice?

He was going to be my best man.

Oh, well, the next time you two chat,

maybe you could tell him
his committed, monogamous,

yet highly sought-after
boyfriend says hi.

So, does everybody know that Kitty
has us scheduled for dance lessons?

Ballroom dancing? Kitty, please.

Come on, Tommy. I'm not that bad.

(ALL SNIGGERING)

I've got it, I've got it. Pretty Woman.

No, thanks, Mom, but that will
make me come off a little conceited.

No, no, no.

I mean, that was my first-time song.
I can't believe I remembered that.

Mom, we don't need
a picture of you and Dad.

- Who said anything about Dad?
- What?

KITTY: What?
JUSTIN: Mom!

Wait a minute. Wait a minute,

- I thought Dad was your first.
- No.

SARAH: I thought
Dad swept you off your feet

- when you were barely .
- No.

Mom, you slut.

It was the ' s.

It was this guy I'd known
in high school, Stan Harris.

He got drafted and went off to Canada.

It was in the back seat
of his dad's Cutlass.

- SARAH: Well...
- Oh, my God.

And he was tall and I was short,
so we had to open...

- We'll talk tomorrow.
- TOMMY: That's my cue.

- KEVIN: Yeah. Absolutely.
- Fine. Fine.

Fine, so what?
I guess I've just never had sex before?

(NEW AGE MUSIC PLAYING)

- That doesn't look safe.
- It lowers your blood pressure.

Yep. So does a glass of wine,
with far less risk of paralysis.

- Why aren't you working?
- I'm on days.

We could go back to writing notes
if actual conversation is too weird.

Oh, sorry. No messages.

(SIGHS)

Of course not.

Do you want to be my date
for Kitty's wedding?

- Oh, how appealing. A spite invite?
- No.

Yes. A little. You know,
going to a wedding alone is t*rture.

What about Jason?

Reverend God-Forbid-l-Call-You-Back
won't be there.

Yeah. But his brother, Robert, will.
What will he think?

Who cares? Mia Tellos is catering.

They're serving those little Gorgonzola

and potato pizzas
with saffron and sage.

- You had me at Gorgonzola.
- Thought so.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

- Kitty. Hi.
- Hi.

I'm sorry, I hope I didn't wake you up.

No, no. I've been up for awhile.

- Did you want to come in?
- Sure.

Yeah, come on in.

- Is Justin okay?
- Yeah, actually.

- You know, he's doing much better.
- Oh, good.

And, you know what?
Thank you, by the way,

for letting everybody know
what was going on.

And I know he said
some really awful things to you.

No. He said awful things
to everyone, so...

Actually, he did. But...

You know, it's just...
If it hadn't been for you,

we wouldn't have been
able to help him and...

So, anyway,
the reason that I'm here is...

And there's no pressure,
and you can definitely say no

if you feel uncomfortable,

but I just wondered
if maybe by any chance

you would want to be
one of my bridesmaids.

Oh, my God.

Well, I didn't even know
if I'd be invited to the wedding.

Are you crazy? Well, of course,
of course you're invited to the wedding.

You're my sister.

Oh.

Well, is Sarah okay with it? I mean...

Yeah, you know, who cares?

She'll be fine. It's...

Yes, no, maybe?
You can think about it if you want...

- Yeah! I'd love to.
- Really?

- Yeah.
- That's great.

- Should we hug?
- Sure.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Graham has quite a reputation
for growing mid-size companies.

Well, Graham, reputation aside,

Ojai's not looking to hire
any outside consultants at this time.

Right. Well, that's usually
the first response.

Saul tells me that you want
to branch out into the organic market.

Yes, that's something
that we've been considering.

Well, let me give you some free advice.

Don't. Every other vendor's
already noticed that trend.

So, you're a little
behind the curve there.

And frankly, Sarah,
overhauling our farming practices

would cost a hell of a lot more
than hiring a private consultant.

Graham has some ideas
about the international market.

Well, that's right. Namely, China.

It's a booming economy,
it's an expanding middle-class...

I've read all the same journals
that you have.

Well, actually,
I just came back from there.

- Have you been?
- No, I haven't.

Well, you got to go.

The upscale markets in Shanghai
just can't handle the demand.

Just the word "California"

transforms the everyday grape
into a luxury item.

Well, just the word "China" for me
conjures up logistical nightmare

and Ojai doesn't have
the human resources

to overcome
international licensing, tariffs...

Yeah, well, that's just what I do.

I mean, I can help you navigate
that whole thing.

Exactly. And then we create
a special division

of Ojai to handle foreign sales.

Leave your proposal.
I'll call you if I have any questions.

Okay. Well, thanks
for your time, Sarah.

- Great to meet you.
- Thanks for the free advice.

GRAHAM: I'll be in touch.

Okay, great.
I will fax you a price list. Bye.

Hey. How you doing?

I have been fielding
phone calls all morning.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong,
but didn't we hire Lena to do that?

- Well, she's probably running late.
- Is she?

Or are you guys
doing that thing you do

where she comes five minutes
after you, so that I don't know

- that the two of you...
- No, no, no.

I ended things with her.

Should we be looking for
a new office manager?

Sorry, I stopped for pastries.

Tommy, I got your favorite, bear claws.

(PHONE RINGS)

Walker Landing?
Yeah, he's right here. It's your wife.

Julia, hey. What's up?

JULIA: Elizabeth wanted
to talk to her daddy.

Yeah. Put her on.

(BAB Y BABBLIN G)

Hey, honey.

(DOOR OPENS)

(BAB Y SQUEALING)

Hi.

- Oh, my God.
- I was going to call yesterday,

but I thought a surprise
would be surprising.

- Wow, it's so good to see you.
- Yeah, you, too.

And her. Oh, my God, she's so big. Hi.

Welcome home, Julia. She's incredible.

- Thanks. The place looks so good.
- Thanks.

(BAB Y LAUGHING)

This is Lena, our office manager.

Oh, of course. Hi.
It's nice to put a face to the voice.

Yeah.

- Oh.
- All right, well.

I'm going to leave for the day
and get them settled.

Take as much time as you need.

- Thanks, Holly.
- Yeah.

- Sure.
- TOMMY: All right. Let's go.

Okay.

- Bye, it was nice to meet you, Lena.
- Come on.

- You, too.
- I'll check in later.

You still want the job?

You might want
to re-think the work wardrobe.

Saul, do you remember Stan Harris?

SAUL: Of course I remember him.

Mother was convinced
that he was going to ruin you.

That's because I told her we were
going to travel around the country

in his Volkswagen bus
and join a commune.

- I googled him.
- You what?

Get this, he's a history teacher
at Canyon Falls High. He's single.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up.

Since when does Google tell you
what someone's marital status is?

I e-mailed him.

I couldn't help myself.

I might have been this whole other
person if he hadn't gone to Canada.

He lives minutes away.
Can you believe it?

You know what?
He asked me out to dinner.

That's impressive.

I shouldn't go.
God, not in a million years.

We'll have nothing to talk about.

What if he looks old,
what if he thinks I look old?

Oh, Nora, come on.
You don't look that old.

And then again,
what have I got to lose?

I mean, there's history there.

What if that same old spark still exists?
It could still exist, you know that.

I know that?
What are you doing, Nora?

What?

I told you that
I didn't want to talk about this.

That I needed time to talk about this.

You want me to get in touch
with that guy

- that I told you about, is that it?
- No.

Is that why you're mentioning
Stan Harris?

I brought up Stan because I wanted
to talk to you about Stan.

- Yeah, right.
- Don't get me wrong.

I do think we have to talk about this.

I mean, you can't tell me that you were
in love with a man once,

and then we never discuss it again.

We have to talk about it eventually.

You know what, Nora? I gotta go.

Well, Saul. Should I...
Should I go? Should...

(TAN GO PLA YIN G)

Oh, well, you know,
they're just showing off, right?

I can tell you, we're not going to be
doing anything like that.

(MUSIC ENDS)

Wow!

Wow, that was really, really good.

That was amazing. And thank you.

But I don't think that
we're going to be needing anything...

Don't worry about it, Senator.
We'll adjust the steps to your song.

Oh. Well, you know what?

We don't even really have a song, yet.

We just want to learn a couple of steps,

so we don't look like complete morons
at our wedding.

- Exactly.
- Okay. Whatever you wish.

Martena, just play
a slow foxtrot, please.

Just watch it once.

(INS TRUMEN TAL MUSIC PLA YIN G)

It is slow, slow. Quick, quick.

Let's try it all in one line.
Starting with the left foot. And slow...

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
So it's left, right, and then which side?

No, no. For you, Kitty, it's the opposite.

(CELL PHONE RIN GS)

- You see, you go right...
- Excuse me.

...left, side together.
- Hello?

So... Oh, it's the... I didn't...

- Nobody told me that.
- No problem.

- That's what we're here for.
- Okay.

- Let's see.
- Yeah, and I'll get back. Thank you.

- Right, left, and then to the side.
- Good.

- That's good, but to the other side.
- The other side.

That was the majority leader.

Yeah, well, you're in the minority party,
so you can call him back.

- All right. Let's try it facing each other.
- Okay.

Kitty, his face is much more attractive
than your feet.

Head up, please.
Slow, slow. Quick, quick.

- Senator, you're a natural.
- Thank you.

Kitty, please. Stop leading.

Oh, sorry. I'm sorry, you know,

- it's just my nature. But I'm trying.
- Okay.

This is going to take
a long time, isn't it?

You know what? He just gave us
the steps like three seconds ago.

They're two votes down
on SR .

Don't you think I should spend
some time on that?

You know what?
You never told me you could dance.

You know, inaugurals. State dinners.

And first weddings, right? I get it.

I think I have the steps in order.

You should stay, rehearse.
Reschedule.

I'll make the time. Promise. Thank you.
I appreciate it, but I've got to go.

Okay, Kitty. Let's dance.

Five, six, seven, eight.
Slow. Good, good.

Hey. Sorry about the mess.

If I would've known you were coming,
I would've cleaned up.

- It's okay.
- Yeah, I guess I reverted.

You're allowed.
I'm sorry I was gone so long.

You had a lot to sort out.

I just... I wish I could take back
so many things I said.

I know. Me, too.

Can we go back
to the way things were?

I want to. So bad. You have no idea.

I come with decadence.

Wow! What happened?
Did you rob the Long Beach Aquarium?

We had a chichi six-year-old birthday
party at the restaurant.

Little Mermaid theme. Turns out
the kids couldn't bear to eat Sebastian.

The Mermaid's best friend?

Anyhow, their drama, our dinner.

Great. Would Sebastian like
a little melted butter on the side?

- I don't know, but I would.
- Marvelous.

- Light some candles, I'll be right back.
- Oh, candles?

I mean,
it's just takeout when you think of it.

Yeah, sure. Yeah, sure. No candles.

Well, we can still have
champagne, right?

Sure.

- Hey, Sarah.
- Hey.

Is Kitty here?

Oh, she'll be down in a minute.

So are you the maid of honor?

Well, I'm certainly not
the matron of honor.

Oh, I'm sorry.

- Okay, well?
- Oh, wow.

(GASPS)

- What do you think?
- Wow.

- Gorgeous.
- Really?

Yeah, it's got this great ' s vibe to it.
I mean...

- That's because it's from the ' s.
- Well, is it too ' s?

No. No, I think it's classic.

No, no. What I meant by that is
it's very Jackie O.

I don't know if that's the look
I'm going for on my wedding day.

I mean, that's not even
the right political party.

Oh! Oh! Oh, you look gorgeous.

- Really?
- Just gorgeous.

Speaking of gorgeous, Mom.
Where are you going?

- Well, yeah.
- Oh, just dinner with a friend.

Honey, this is so exciting.

We'll take you tomorrow
to the alterations person.

- And just, you know...
- Okay.

...a few tiny little things.
- Okay.

It's exciting. I have to go.

- It's so exciting.
- Have fun.

Let's see.

Well, you know, I think there
actually really is something amazing

- about the history of this dress.
- SARAH: Yeah. Yeah.

And it's free.

- Can't b*at that.
- Wow. Is that Mom's dress?

Yeah. It's great. Right?

Yeah. Looks good.

Can I steal Rebecca for a second?

Look, Justin, I know what you're doing,

and I just want you to know
that it's fine. I'm fine.

Look, it's not fine, okay?
I feel horrible about what I said.

- It was hurtful and it was mean.
- And some of it was true.

I was angry.
Okay, I took a cheap sh*t at you.

You are not pathetic.
I'm pathetic, okay?

If it weren't for you,
I wouldn't be getting clean.

I'm just happy you're getting
the help that you need. You know?

I want you to know
how important you are to me.

And how deeply, deeply sorry I am.

Hmm. Wow.

You're really good at this whole
making amends thing, aren't you?

I've had some practice.

(CELL PHONE RIN GS)

Excuse me.

Hello?

Yeah. How are you?

Sure, yeah. That sounds great.
I'll see you there. All right, bye.

That was your friend Lena.

- What did... What'd she want?
- Oh, she just asked me out for coffee.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

(INSTRUMENTAL
GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING)

- Hi, I'm looking for someone.
- Right over here.

Stan?

- Nora? Hi.
- Hi, I'm sorry I'm late.

- Oh. No, no, no.
- No?

About minutes.

The traffic in this city is
absolutely impossible.

You can't get anywhere ever.

If you're invited to go someplace
between the hours of : and : ,

I have to tell them, "No, I'm sorry.

"You can't get there from here,
you just can't..."

I'm here.

- You look beautiful.
- Yeah, well.

Don't look too close, my neck looks like
someone's bedroom curtains.

Hey, listen. I gained pounds
and I've got an artificial hip.

- Really?
- No. Kidding.

(LAUGHS)

- I'm sorry. I'm a little bit nervous.
- I'm nervous, too.

- I can't believe you e-mailed me.
- Did I do that?

You did.

Where do we even start?

- How about a pitcher of margaritas?
- Yes.

- STAN: We're at this immigration rally.
- Right.

You know, all my kids.
I mean, my class.

There's this one, Alonzo,
he's really smart.

But he's, you know, a little unfocused.

And I'm watching him, I'm seeing
that he's a little bit affected by this.

Maybe a lot. And I'm thinking,
"This is why I do this."

He's starting to think.

He wants to demand
his right to be heard.

- You know? And just at that moment...
- Yeah.

...he gets on the stage...
- Yeah.

...drops his pants
and moons the governor.

- Oh, no. Oh, no.
- Yeah.

I didn't want him to feel humiliated,
so I get up and I join him.

Oh, God. That's horrible.
What happened?

Well, you know,
I spent a night in detention, paid a fine.

Alonzo, I think, is running for
president of the school now.

Well, good for him.
I spent a night in jail.

Well, I got caught smoking a joint with
my girlfriend in her car, Emily Kraft.

- Krafty?
- Yeah.

You never liked grass,
so when did you pick up that habit?

Never. Are you kidding?

Since last you saw me
all I've been doing is raising kids

and being married
to a Republican, so...

Yeah. I knew that.

- So, you never got married?
- No.

I came close a couple of times,

but I don't think I ever really found
the right person.

Yeah. The right person.

What are you doing tomorrow night?

I'm sorry. I know, you got plans.
It's too soon. I'm just...

No. No, my goodness,
at this age almost nothing is too soon.

Yes. Let's do it. Let's go out.

Good, 'cause I couldn't stand
to wait another years.

Kevin.

KEVIN: Mmm.

Kevin, go to bed.

Actually, could you take your foot out?
It's digging right...

Oh, sorry.

... of running into you?

Standing out on the edge

Searching for proof

I should go to my air mattress.

Staring up at the stars

Waiting for God

To show me the way

To your home

Yeah, you should.

Well, I found you again

REBECCA: I really like that on you.

Come on, I look like a giant tangerine.

(CELL PHONE RIN GS)

I got to take that, I'm working.

Wait, I'm going to get
a couple more dresses.

Sarah Walker.

GRAHAM: Hey, it's Graham Finch.

Listen, I've been
thinking about our meeting.

I hope I didn't come on too strong.

Bulldozer isn't your normal speed?

Well, that's me, you know.
I'm aggressive.

When I see something I want,
I go for it.

That's why you want me.

Oh, now I want you.

It's a figure of speech.

So what are you doing tonight?
You want to have some dinner?

- I have plans.
- Well, then how about tomorrow night?

Listen, just give me an hour
and if I can't convince you,

you'll never see me again.
What do you say?

Okay. Tomorrow night it is.

Great. See you then.

Oh, that's a pretty color.

- What do you think of this one?
- Okay. Great.

Oh, wow. That color is so much better.

- Really?
- Oh, totally.

Yeah, how come you're not bringing
anybody to the wedding?

Oh, you know.
It's been a bit of a dry spell lately.

Dry spell? That doesn't sound like you.

What does that mean?

It's just that when I think of you,
I don't think of dry spell.

You know, I do know a couple
of really cute guys in my office.

- Do you have a type?
- No, I don't really have a type.

Except for married men, right, Sarah?
That's what you were going to say.

- No. No, she wasn't.
- I would never say that.

Well, there goes
that foot in my mouth again.

SARAH: It's not that I don't think
about it occasionally.

It's just that I've long stopped
obsessing about you,

Joe and my divorce.

What I'm currently
obsessed about is Kitty,

her wedding and which dress
she's going to force me to wear.

Right, Kit?

This is it. This is the one.

Oh, my God.

Can you believe it? It's perfect.

It's perfect.

What about Mom's dress?

Oh, well, no. No, I mean it would be
the one if I didn't already have the one.

- But... Oh, my God.
- Oh, right.

- Just try it on.
- No, no. I can't. I can't.

It would be cheating.
I shouldn't even be looking at it.

Oh, come on. Looking's not cheating.
Is it, Rebecca?

Oh, my God.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You going to the gym?
- Yeah, I have to.

Working in the kitchen demands it
or you end up, you know, with...

I know, with love handles. Like me.

I think we've already established
I have no problems with your body.

Nor I, yours.

- Look, about last night...
- You don't have to say anything.

I know what happened,
you were vulnerable.

Your boyfriend's a million miles away

and I was a warm body
after lobster dinner.

Add champagne and voilà.
Mistake sex.

What if it wasn't a mistake?

Kevin, you don't have
to make me feel better

by turning yesterday's nostalgic
sex romp into something that it wasn't.

I'm not. Believe me, I'm not.

Yes, of course I miss him.
You know, why wouldn't I?

He's not calling me,
but it's like what we had,

he's put into this compartment

and now he's gone back
to his first love, which is God.

Or the church or something,
I don't know.

But it's certainly not me.

You don't know that.
When people are far away, they...

Look, I know how I feel.
So just let me feel that way. It hurts.

Hey. It'll be all right. I promise.

I'm not so sure.

NORA: What is this?

We go on a lovely picnic at the beach

and then you bring me out here
for what? A g*ng initiation?

- Take a closer look.
- All right.

(GIRL OF THE NORTH CO UN TRY
PLAYING ON RADIO)

Oh! It's Jones Hall.

We saw Dylan here.

- Yeah.
- Oh, my God.

Yeah. The memory of that night

has gotten me through
a lot of cold winters in Toronto.

It was my first time, you know?

(LAUGHS)

It was our first time. I lied.

I didn't want you to think
I didn't know what I was doing.

Oh, Stan,
I was so madly in love with you.

Why did you leave?
You ran off to Canada.

You left everything.
Your family, your friends, me.

- I wasn't enough for you.
- What are you talking about?

You love the fight you can't win.

You already had me. I mean,
even then I knew I wasn't a challenge.

- I wasn't looking for a challenge.
- Weren't you?

No.

You married a rich Republican.

Somebody you can always argue with.

Oh.

We're different. I don't like the fight.
I'm committed to the cause.

Stan, will you come see my life?
Meet my kids?

Will you come with me
to my daughter's wedding?

I'd be honored.

Will your mother be there?

- Yeah.
- Oh, boy.

Oh, God, I love this song still.

So do I.

In the darkness of my night

(PHONE RIN GS)

Why are you calling me at home?

Hey, I just checked
your office voice mail

and your brunch meeting canceled.

Oh.

Yeah, and listen, by the way,

I'm not going to be bothering you
with personal calls.

I'm not that dense. So just relax.

I'm sorry. Thanks.

Have a good weekend.

- Who's calling so early?
- That was the office.

They canceled my meeting,
so I could make breakfast.

I wouldn't have pegged you
for a half-caff.

I would've assumed an extra sh*t.

- Yeah, well, I'm working on moderation.
- Really?

That doesn't sound
like the guy I met at the bar.

- I guess Rebecca didn't tell you.
- No.

I'm in recovery.

I was taking pain medication for my leg
and pretty soon after

I just started taking it just to take it.

And now I've been
in detox for a few weeks

and going to meetings,
talking to my sponsor

and if you want to run,
I completely understand.

No, listen.
I don't get scared off that easy.

I'm a pathetic loser
who dates a married guy

and then gets surprised
and bummed when I get dumped.

Wow. That sucks.

Yeah, well, it was kind of doomed
from the start, you know?

I want you to know that
I'm a terrible choice for a rebound guy.

I mean, not assuming, you know,
that this is anything past coffee or...

No. Go ahead. Assume.

I just, you know, I shouldn't get
involved while I'm getting sober.

I still have nightmares about combat.

My leg's still looks
pretty gnarly from my injury,

I don't have a job
and I live with my mom.

- You can stop. You're an awful choice.
- Yeah.

So, how about just being, you know,
my rebound caffeine buddy?

Well, as long as you don't mind
the half-caff.

No. Not at all.

- Slow, slow. Quick, quick.
- Quick, quick.

You know, it's tough to replace
a quarter of the staff.

But Bukarski comes
highly recommended.

He worked for Phipps.

- Yeah, we can't have that.
- Okay. Well, there's Donnelly,

but I hear he's a bit of a screamer.

- Why are you stepping on my feet?
- Travis's voice keeps boring

into the part of my brain
that is trying to keep count.

I wasn't aware you had that part.

Oh, would you shut up, Travis?

Kitty, have you been practicing
like I told you?

Yes. What is the part that comes
after back left?

- Side right.
- Side right.

Oh. Well, you know what?

Maybe you guys should just have
the first dance together.

- What about Benitez?
- Yeah.

You know what? You know what?
Let's just forget the whole thing.

I mean, clearly you're busy,
I'm busy and you're just not interested.

- And why should you be?
- Kitty, come on, it's just a dance.

No! It is not just a dance!
It is a dance that you've had before!

For a ceremony that you've had before!

And I'm going to be wearing
a used dress.

And you know what?
I just thought it would be nice

for us to have a dance that was ours.

But you know what? You're right.

It's just too much to ask
to have a first at my own wedding!

And shut up, Travis!

So, should we clean this up
or should we just, like,

sort of let it sit and blend in
with the rest of your place?

Hey. So, now you're making
fun of my apartment?

No, are you kidding me?
I'm having mess envy, for God's sake.

I mean, rebellion in my house is
like leaving a crumb on the table.

No wonder you turned to dr*gs.

So, what are your other vices
besides being kind of a slob?

Oh. Well, coffee, definitely.

- Wine. Clothes shopping.
- I see that.

Yes. Oh.

(CELL PHONE RIN GIN G)

- Hang on.
- Sure.

- Hey.
- Look, Justin's in recovery.

I know. Listen, can I call you back?

- Oh, why? Is Justin there?
- Yeah.

- Oh, my God.
- Yeah.

- Why don't I just talk to you tomorrow?
- Okay.

Wow.

What was all that about,
if you don't mind my asking?

Lena.

Thought you were talking about Justin.

You know, she asked him out, Mom.

She did?

Yeah. And it's really not that I care,

it's just he's not supposed to be
dating anyone right now.

Wait until Kitty and Sarah find out.

It's not like they don't judge me
enough already.

I really don't need
them blaming me for this.

Sweetie, this is hardly your fault.

Tell that to them.
I mean, Kitty is so intimidating.

Sarah's constantly paranoid
that she's making these digs at me.

I keep humiliating myself.

Rebecca,
stop second-guessing yourself.

- It's not that easy, Mom.
- I know that it's not that easy.

But this shrinking violet
that you're becoming?

That's not my daughter.

I mean, you never used to care
what people thought about you.

You didn't worry about what you said
or what you didn't say.

I admire that about you.
Even when you do that with me.

Do that with them.

So, wait, no. You're telling me you
haven't seen Blades of Glory?

- No, I haven't.
- Oh, my word.

You have to see this. I have the DVD.
We can watch it tonight.

You know what?
I should probably get out of here.

Oh. Okay.
I hope I didn't scare you off or anything.

No. I'm having a great, great time.

I just... I'm worried if I stay too long,
that my sponsor will get pissed off.

And he's kind of a big dude.
Lot of tats. You know?

- No.
- Frightening.

I totally get that you should put
your recovery first.

Okay. Thanks.

You know, we'll wait for the right time.

- All right. Cool.
- Cool.

Cool.

Screw it.

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

Here. Try the lemon scallops. Amazing.

I prefer the orange chicken.

Oh! This duck sauce is amazing.

I can really taste
the peaches and the plums.

Oh, I get it.

Everything that we've been eating
features produce that we grow at Ojai.

- Very good.
- Oh, here I was,

- I thought I was being very subtle.
- I'm just very smart.

Well, then you'll hear what I'm saying.

See, a billion people eat
this food every day.

Don't you think it would taste a lot
better coming from your orchards?

Of course.

But you're not going
to charm me into a deal.

Not that you're not charming.
It's just there's something about you.

I don't know if it's the Italian suit
or the fast-talk of easy money

and international markets.
Maybe it's the perfect pedigree.

- Perfect...
- It's just all too smooth to be true.

- I'm suspicious.
- First of all,

I wasn't born into this suit, okay?

When I walked into Ojai,

I was not convinced
that I would close the deal.

I just thought that
if you heard what I had to say,

you'd see it was a sound decision,

something that's good for Ojai
and for your family. That's it.

Look, honestly? It's enticing.

But Ojai can't afford
that kind of risk exposure

and I can't jeopardize
a company that my father built.

No matter the growth potential.

So what if I told you I have a guy

that can get Ojai
in the market access program?

Government subsidies?

I tailor your company's profile
so it's exactly what they're looking for.

USDA wants to increase
its agricultural exports,

why not let them help pay for it?

Who knows?
We structure this deal right,

there might even be
enough left over for me

to take you on a private tour of Beijing.

Okay.

Get me more information
on the program.

I'll need to see the forecasts.
If the numbers excite me, we'll talk.

(CELL PHONE RIN GS)

Hello. Jason?

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
I've missed you!

No, no. I'm sorry.
No, it's just your voice.

You...
Well, why haven't you called me?

No, no.
Of course I know the service is spotty.

No, I'm good. I'm good. I just...

Yeah, I...
Well, I needed to talk to you, too.

- Cleaning or packing?
- Packing.

A friend offered me her couch.
I think it'll be easier this way.

Yeah, you're right. It will be easier.

But difficult is sometimes good,
you know?

Forces you to do things
you didn't think you could.

Oh, we can do it, Kevin.
We always seem to end up doing it.

What we never seem to understand
is that it gets us nowhere.

I finally spoke with Jason.

- Good. I'm glad. I...
- I broke up with him.

Kevin, why do you always have to be
such a drama queen?

So he didn't call you
for a couple of weeks.

It's not that.

Scotty, when I first met you,
I thought we were too...

Kevin, if you're about to romanticize
what we had, just...

I'm not. That's the whole point.

Because what we had was...
It was messy.

You know? We were hot
and cold and back and forth.

All over the place.
But I want to be back there with you.

Because I want to be
honest about who I am.

- Did you tell Jason we slept together?
- Yes, I did.

Look, I know I'm asking
way too much of you.

But like I said,
easy isn't all it's cracked up to be.

It's gone. Yep. Yep, it's gone. It's gone.

- The one is gone.
- Oh.

Well, at least Mom
won't be heartbroken.

- Well, that's true.
- You know, I think it's a shame.

I think you should wear whatever
you want on your wedding day.

Oh. Okay, Rebecca.

Well, thank you very much,
but you know what? It'll be fine.

Hey, it's just my opinion.

Well, my opinion is,
we need to commit.

These dresses are fine.

What about Julia?
Does she look good in blue?

- Julia looks good in anything.
- Bitch.

All right, Rebecca, let's start with you.
So what do you think?

Honestly, I don't know what sisters say
in these situations,

but the only way that I'm ever going
to be able to be myself around you two

is if I stop filtering everything.

So, to answer your question, Kitty, no.

No. I don't like this color on me.

- And I don't like it on Sarah.
- You don't?

If you really want to know the dress
that I would pick, it would...

Oh, my God.

- Well, Rebecca, don't stop now.
- No, you're on a roll.

- Kitty, the one!
- It's on sale.

(GASPS)

Oh, my God!

Oh.

Oh, my God, Rebecca.

Rebecca, do you really think
I should wear what I want?

I do. Do you want to wear this dress?

I do.

I swear I didn't go out looking for it.

It was just there and then it went
on sale and it just was fate...

- It was on sale?
- Yeah, yeah.

I was just feeling that
my whole wedding was being recycled.

And I just needed
my something new and...

But, please, Mom,
please don't be angry.

Honey, I'm not angry. It's fine.
You don't have to wear my...

Good fine or is it
passive-aggressive fine?

Sweetheart, I offered my dress
to you as an option, not...

Well, I know, I know.
When you found me in it the other day,

- you practically started weeping.
- Oh, I did not!

- You're getting married...
- Yes. You were very emotional.

...that makes me emotional!
- You were like...

- I came in, you had my dress on...
- Well, still...

...it brought back memories.
- Yeah. I know, but still...

Listen to me. This is your wedding.
Your memories to create.

Make your own choices,
your own history.

You don't have to relive mine.

Wow.

Yeah.

I can't believe
that you're being this cool.

I mean, it's not that I thought you
would be uncool, but I just... I...

- Well, thanks.
- It's beautiful.

Thank you, Mom. Thank you.

- It's beautiful, honey. It's beautiful.
- Thanks, Mom.

- Kitty?
- Uh-huh?

- You know what I did?
- No. What did you do?

- I went out to dinner with Stan Harris.
- Stan Harris.

My Pretty Woman Stan Harris.

(GASPS)

- Yeah.
- Oh, my God. How was it?

It was fine. Good.

(CELL PHONE RIN GS)

If it's all right with you, I invited him
to your wedding. Is that all right?

Yeah. Of course. Are you kidding?

It's great! Sorry. Honey, honey.
Just hold on one second.

- Mom. Wait, Mom.
- Yeah.

We're going to have to find you
a very hot dress.

I think I have an idea.

You're going to dye this?

Something bold. Midnight blue, maybe.

- But this dress is a classic.
- I know. I love it.

It's my history and I'm going to keep it.

Maybe it's time to hike up
the hemline a little.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Here we go.

Oh, hey!

I didn't think you'd still be here by now.

I figured you would've gone home
to your family.

Yeah, I was just catching up
on some paperwork.

So, you're going out.

Yeah. Got a date.

You're seeing somebody.

It happened a few days ago.

- Don't worry, I wasn't cheating.
- No, I wasn't...

- Tommy, I'm joking.
- Right.

Have a good night, Tommy.

This is way too big for a fundraiser.

I mean, there aren't even
that many Republicans in LA.

- ROBERT: It's beautiful, isn't it?
- Oh, yeah.

Oh, wait. No, no, no.
No, wait. We have to...

They're rehearsing.

- No, come on. Let's listen.
- No, no, no.

- We're late. We're late. We gotta go.
- Come on.

Excuse me. Guys?
Do you take requests?

Hello, Senator.

Is that Lyle Lovett?

What are you doing?
No, what did you do?

Why do I feel like
you're getting ready to propose to me?

We already did that. I already did that.

I know that I haven't been able
to focus on the wedding.

And I know that you think
it's because I've done this before.

And, yeah, we haven't been able
to pick out our song.

But, you know, Kitty,
any song that's even remotely romantic

reminds me of us.

You make everything new.

Would you like to dance?

You're insane. No, absolutely insane.
I cannot believe you.

It's Sunday morning

The coffee's on

That gray cat's still yawning

Because Saturday is gone

Just for the record,
this is a first for me, too.

I still feel the feeling

Of how you felt upon me

And it may be no big deal to you

But it's a very big deal to me

She said,
"Man, it may be no big deal to you

"But it's a very big deal to me"
