03x23 - Let's Call The Whole Thing Off

[bunniefuu]

-mom?
-yes.

Oh,god.You will never believe what he's gone and done now.

He's remarrying his first wife

and he's taking the kids on a -month honeymoon to--wait for it--europe.

Oh,honey.I stopped watching those trashy soap operas in .

Joe,mom.My trashy soap opera.

The one that is my life.

Well,change is always difficult,but change is like the wind.

It's inevitable,and you can't hold it back.

Did you just hear what I said,mom?Joe is remarrying his first wife.

You know how that makes me feel?

I was a pit stop on their highway to eternal happiness.

Well,we must not turn these things inward.

It is not always about us.Many times they reflect a more universal--

who are you,and what have you done with my mother?

Oh,I'm right here.I just got these very wise books,that's all.

You've been browsing the self-help section again.

Well,what do you suggest?

My--my son has disappeared,and I'm desperate.

-Are they helping?
-No.

And since when does joe get the kids for that long?

Well,he doesn't unless I agree to it.

You know what really annoys me,mom?

Is that he can suddenly afford a -month honeymoon in europe.

-Who knew that joe was just one stupid...
-hey,mom.

"Washin' and dryin'" jingle away from--

wait a second?Joe wrote that?

I love that song.Mom,you've heard that.

I'm not washin' and dryin',so stop screamin' and cryin' start spinnin'and grinnin' with twirl

yeah,I can't believe you let him go.The guy's a musical genius,sarah.

Really?Well,maybe when he puts out his first album,

you could buy it for your girlfriend and you could--

oh,no,that's right.She dumped you.

That's not funny.

-In fact,that actually hurts me a little bit,sarah.
-All right,that's enough.That's enough.

Okay,okay,okay.I gotta get back to work anyway and

continue pnning what we are now optimistically referring to as a unity party.

Mom?

I told you about it.

Sarah,I'm sorry.I'm not gonna come.

-Wait a second.This is optional?
-No,it is not optional.

-Mom--
-look,sarah,I am so glad you went back to ojai.I really am.

But honestly,I don't feel compelled to celebrate happiness and unity

as if everything is hunky-dory and no one has a clue where tommy is.

-Mom,we all miss him.
-Of course,but we can't put our lives on hold.

This is about solidifying the transition,

and I will be extremely disappointed if you choose not to support me.

yeah,me,too.

Well,I'm sorry,both of you.

I can't do it.

Hey,I didn't see you this morning.

Um,I had to leave early.

Rebecca,are you okay?

I'm just really busy trying to help my mom with this party and...

are you sure?Because I feel like ever-- ever since

I cooked you dinner the other night,you've been acting kinda weird toward me.

Was it the chicken?Was the chicken that bad?

No,it was good.

Well,look,I-I know I said some things that I probably shouldn't have said.

Yeah,like you were gonna vote with my mom to get back at the walkers?

Yeah.I'm sorry.

Taking this job has really hit me a lot harder than I thought it was going to.

I mean,it is william's company,and,I mean,

you know that I've been blaming him for my mom's death,and--god,I gotta--

I gotta quit laying this all on you and get a shrinkor something.

You know what?Maybe we should all get a shrink.

well,anyway,I-I was sh**ting my mouth off,and,uh,I'm sorry.

It's okay,really.

I mean,I...

I kind of acted t as well when I went through what you're going through,so--

wait a minute.You acted out?

And what'd you do?

it's a long story.

Hey,so what's this-- what's this thing tomorrow night?

Do we really veto go?

Well,we are the next generation of ojai.

All right.

hey,as long as it's mandatory,do you maybe wanna...

go together,tag team?

Um,yeah,okay.

Justin won't have a problem with that,will he?

No,no.Justin and I are friends.

Okay,great.

I will be there as soon as I can.

No,I will.I will.I promise.

No,he has not left yet.He'S...

okay,yeah.No,that sounds great.I will,um,I will talk to you soon.

All right.Bye.

That's kevin going on and on and on about sarah's event at ojai.

You know,she's really,uh,freakin' out about it.

Kitty,stop.

You already told me you're not seeing him anymore,you never slept with him.

I didn'T.

-Here.
-What's that?

,It's just a little something to make your first day back at work a little easier.

Why would it be hard?

Well,I don't know.Maybe because you had a heart att*ck the last time you were there.

It's jt a framed picture of evan for your desk.

Thank you.

oh,wait.Wait,wait,wait.Sorry,sorry.

What?What?What?

it the buzzer.

ms.Walker,your father's here.

What?Oh,my god.Oh,my--oh,my god.

Can I send him up?

No.Well,yes,yes.

Can you please just--just stall him for about two minutes?

How?

I don't know.I don't know.

Ask him--ask him-- ask him about the--the...

the capital-- capital gains tax.

-What?
-I'm sorry.

I'm sorry,buit's--it's my dad.

Is that my cue to hide in the closet?

No,this would be your cue to leave.

I'm very sorry to do this.I was having a very nice time.

Kitty,dad's tend to be impressed by me.

Yeah,well,but not this dad.

Sorry,I'll call you.I'll call you.

What am I gonna do?

I need a book.Where's my book?

book.

Hey,daddy.

Hi,sweetie.

You weren't supposed to be here until tomorrow.

I couldn't wait to see you,hon.

Am I...interrupting something here?

Oh,no.

no,no,I was,uh...

just,uh...I was reading.This is a very good book.

You know,hanging out?

Well,good.Then can i take you to dinner at that new place you told me about?

I-I so hate to burst your bubble,but...

this isn't pasadena.

You can't-- you can't just get a-- a reservation at boule just--just like that.

Oh,darn.

They're holding a corner booth for us in an hour.

No way.

No,you...

how on earth did you do that?

Oh,I love you,baby,but I'm not gonna tell you all my secrets.

all right.

Alec.

It is alec,isn't it?

Whatever the hell you and my wife have going on is irrelevant to me.

But what is relevant is that you never call my house again.

Look,I understand that you're angry--

oh,you can't begin to understand me.

So let me make myself perfectly clear.

I will do absolutely everything in my power to protect my marriage,

and I'm a very powerful man.

Maybe that's your problem.

No,that's your problem.

morning.

Morning.

You all right?

Fine.

It's just that the last time I was down here...

I know.

Come on.Let's go up.

surprise!

are you guys trying to put me back into the hospital?

I told 'em jumping out and shouting "surprise" might not be the best way to welcome you back,

but you can blame kitty for all of this.

Well,thank you,guys.I mean...

this is just...it's great to be back,and...

this place really feels like home.So that's it.

Have some cake,have some coffee,'cause andrew didn't write a speech for any of this.

This is your idea?

I really was on the phone with kevin this morning.

You know,I have about...

three months worth of work to do,so I should probably...

I'm--I'm gonna go.I'll see you later.

What?Come on.That was,like,the shortest surprise party in histor

you took longer choosing the cake than you did standing here.

Yeah,well,he's got a lot of work to do,and--and I've gotta get back to evan and...

so,uh,thank you for everything,

and--and I'll see you tomorrow night at the--at the ojai party,right?

Yes,joe,I realize you gave up christmas,but I still need to think about it.

Because a month is a very long time,okay?

And I've--I've gotta get my head around it.

For-- listen,I'm at work.I need to call you back,okay?

Thank you.

I can come back.

No,it's fine.

What is it?

Well,you know how this party is all about boosting morale and showing

that you and i are in sync?

Yes.

Well,maybe we should do something memorable.

An open bar,good food-- I think that's pretty memorable.

Sarah,everyone knows our history.

Why don't we shine a spotlight on it and make fun of ourselves?

What I had in mind is doing a little number.

A number?

A song and dance.

Oh,I forgot.You're an actress.

Come on.It would be fun.We can make complete asses out of ourselves.

-No.
-Okay.

I guess you are in a terrible mood.

-What's going on?
-Nothing.

Joe is getting remarried.

have you met the other woman?

Oh,yeah,yeah.His first wife.

Apparently,he should never have left her.

Simple girl,simple needs.

Maybe I should learn to take it down a notch if I ever want to meet anybody.

That is a fool's errand.

No,you're right.I couldn't be bothered.

You'll find the right person.

I finally did.

You just gotta go out there and make it happen.

Have you tried online dating?

Oh,come on,holly.You're just trying to thinup another way for me to make a complete ass of myself.

you'll see.The employees would love it.

All right,I'll do the number.

Thattagirl.And I have the perfect song.

Nora?

What?I'm in the pantry.

Would you stop taking your anxiety out on those baked beans

and tell me why you're googling private detectives?

I thought maybe I could find someone who would help me track down tommy.

You know,has he been using his credit cards or his cell phone?

I can't just sit around hoping he'll walk through the door.

The answer isn't to go and get him and drag him through it.

You know that.He needs to come back on his own.

Stop telling me to let go.

I can't let go.I can't do anything but...

but wonder and--and worry-- where is he--

okay,I--that's fair enough.

Is that why you're not coming to the party?

Oh,did they send you here to try to make me change my mind?

No one sent me here,nora.

I'm here because I'm worried about you.

I'm so scared for him.I can't eat.I can't sleep.

I have to do something.

Sweetheart,promise me you won't be surfing the web looking for some second-rate detective,okay?

Well,do you know one you trust?

I don't think we need one.

Oh,of course.

I need you to call wade and gordon and get them the revised list of endorsements.

Also,I need to know who my surrogates are gonna be at those san diego fund-raisers.

Sure.

is something going on between you and kitty?

Because this morning,you two seemed kind of--

you know what?If you want to know what's going on,you should ask your sister.

I think you and i are way past that,and I'm not gonna get anything else done

until you tell me what's going on.

Kitty and I are...

she's seeing someone.

What do you mean?

well,I'M...

-w-who?
-I don't know.

Some putz from the park with a diaper bag.

W--oh,my god.

How--how-- how far along is this?

If you're asking me what base they're on,I don't know.

She could be screwing him right now,and I wouldn't know.

She's not gonna tell me.

So if you're looking for gory details,like I said,you should...talk to your sister.

I-I don't know what to say.

Either do I.

Do you want me to talk to her?

Not on my acunt.

Well,do you-- do you want to get...

drunk or see strippers?

I dot--i don't-- I don't know what you straight guys need in this situation.

What this straight guy needs right now is for you to call wade and gordon.

Because if my work's all I'm gonna have left,

I'm damn well not letting anything fall by the wayside.

Sure.I'll cl 'em right now.

hey,is everything okay?I came as fast as I could.

Uh,I hope so.

I got a letter from-- from santa barbara-- the admissions office.

Is thiabout med school?

Yeah,it's a-- it's a dual program,so I can get my bachelor's at the same time.

You didn't even tell me that you applied.

No,I know.I told you I wanted to be a doctor,though.

Well,why didn't you open it yet?

Because you were at work.

Becca,you're the first person I talked about this to,all right?

M--I'm not gonna open it without you.

Well,it looks thick.That's good,right?

You think I would've called you if it was skinny?

-No,no,no,no.No,no,come on.
-Justin!Justin,give it to me.

-I can'T.I can't open it.Stop.
-I'm opening it.

No,no,please.Seriously,I can'T...

okay,hold on,hold on.

"Dear mr.Walker,"it is our pleasure to inform you that you have been accepted"...

-oh,my god justin,you got in.
-I got in.

-Justin,you got in!
-I got in!I got in!I got in!I got...

I am so...proud of you.

Do we have to get up?

What,you mean ever?

Yes,ever.

Well,I think I'm pretty much free until the fall semester starts.

-about last night--
-oh,let's not.

Not what?

Overanalyze whether it was makeup sex or congratulations sex.

Congratulations sex?

I've never even heard of congratulations sex.

It's still complicated with our families.

Oh,I know.

Speaking of which,please do not say anything about med school tonight,all right?

-Why?
-It's just--I've applied to better schools in other states,

and I just don't need my family weighing in on which ones I should go to,so...

it would be pretty great,though-- up-and-coming med student,

the high-powered ojai board member on his arm.

Yeah,that sounds sexy.

-Oh,god.
-What?

I told ryan that I'd go with him.

-You're kidding.
-No.

As friends.

Well,wait a second,last week,you're all,"I don't trust the kid,"and now you're like,"poor ryan"?

-It's complicated.
-How is it complicated,rebecca?

he thinks that his mom k*lled herself.

What?

William was with connie the night before it happened,in reno,

and ryan thinks that something happened there that pushed her over the edge.

That's cra-- does he have any proof?

There are expense reports.

Your dad billed the hotel to the company.

Oh,no.

I know.I know,justin.I wanted to tell you.I did.

It's just not my place.And I honestly don't know if it's true.

But if you don't want me to go with him...I understand.

Look,go with him,all right?Just go be his friend.

I mean,how could i say anything after that?Like...

yeah.

I--I'm sorry,but this is my future.This is my baby's future...

-yeah,yes,it is.
-And I don't want to make a mistake.

So what,so what,the whole world's supposed to come to some screeching halt

while we wait for youto make up your mind?

The only thing that is screeching around here is you.

Did you?

did I what,sleep with him?

No.No,but you want to know something?

Anybody else in my position would have.

I mean,come on,kevin,you know better than anybody that--that--

that robert has never completely let me in.

I mean,claiming that evan and i are his first priority

and then secretly going behind my back and running for governor?

I know,I know.

L-- you know what?This whole thing,it's confusing for me.

It's interesting.You know,he reminds me a little bit of dad.

And I refuse to forgive everything.

I refuse to just let everything go.

I don't want to be like mom.

Doesn't having an affair make you more like dad?

I told you,kevin...

I am not having an affair.

Look,I'm sorry that you feel like you're stuck in the middle,but I...

I don't feel like I'm stuck in the middle.

I think you are.You're surrounded by extremely imperfect men who love you.

but I'm the lucky one.

'Cause you can't get rid of me.

robert.

Nora.

You didn't tell kevin I was here,did you?

I didn't even know you were here.

oh,right.C-could I...

please.

Look,if--if this is about kitty...

what about kitty?Is something wrong with kitty?

-What?
-Did you two have a fight?

No.No.I'm--I'm so sorry.

Please,tell me what brings you here.

Robert,I-I know how you feel about using your office for personal favors,

and I don't want to put you in an awkward situation.

When justin was injured in iraq,and no one could tell me anything,

you were the only person I could turn to.

It's--it's fine.Just-- just tell me what you need.

I need to find tommy.

Right.

Robert,you have access to people who can get information,and I'm going crazy.

I--I'm going crazy.I'm trying not to imagine the worst.

No,no,no.I'll make the calls.

Really?

But,nora,if I find him,you know,there's no guarantee that he's gonna want to see you.

I know he doesn't want to see me.That'S...

that's okay.I just need to know he's all right.

I'll call you when I hear something.

Thank you.

Oh,robert,thank you.

we are talking about a whack-job dictator who is stockpiling weapons of mass destruction,

which,when he feels like it,he is using against his own people.

America is trying to put this lunatic out of business.

Could somebody please tell me why that is so wrong?

We have time for one more caller.

Oh,great.We have a call on line from pasadena,california.Nora walker.

Hi,mom.

Well,I will give you thousands of reasons why that's wrong,

because that's how many innocent civilians have been k*lled so far in this liberation scam.

I mean,honestly,kitty,how can you defend this?

I don't know.It's called democracy,liberty,patriotism--

oh,blah,blah,blah,kitty.

-Okay,we are out of time...But thank you for calling.
-kitty,are you well?

And,uh,just for the record,I take after my father.

So we will be back right after the news.

do you see?Do you see?You
know,she never calls me.

She never calls unlessshe
wants to rant on my show.

honestly...

don't you ever want to
tell her to put sock in it?

You don't really want
me to answer at,do you?

besides,I'm lucky to have her.

Yeah,well,you're a saint,daddy.

Sorry.This is business.

hello.

No,I can'T.I'm in new
york.I'll have to call back.

oh,you didn't have to do that.

I don't mind.

I do.

unbelievable.

Is that the same person?

yeah.Pain in the ass.

I--I'm
sorry.You just...

you look spectacular.

Oh,thanks.

You don't look so bad yourself.

Oh,thanks.I,uh,threw on my
wedding/ funeral/unity party jacket.

Well,I think the board
will be very impressed.

Yeah,that's kinda what I was going for.

You must have been at work at
the cr*ck of dawn this morning.

Oh,yeah.I had a lot of work to
do,so I stayed over at my mom'S.

All right.Well,I'm ready.

Hey,I-I just want to say,uh,you
know,thank you for being my date.

Yeah.

So let's go.

There's mom.Mom.Mom.

You said you weren't gonna come.

Yeah,I know.



I was taking out all
this tommy stuff on you.

I'm here,and I want to be
totally supportive of you.

Well,thank god for that,because
at some point this evening,

I have to get up in front of all these
people and sing a duet with holly.

What?Are you kidding me?

Why?You're gonna sing a duet with holly?

She's not joking.Come on.I
need to put a mike on you.

- Okay,don't laugh.
- Let's go.Sorry.

- Don't laugh.
- Oh,no,no.We won't laugh.No.

Oh,yes,we will.

- Sing a duet?
- She shouldn't do that to herself,mom.

Kitty,I...

I talked to robert today.

Okay.

- O-o--it's-- just
listen to me-- no,shh,shh.

Look,please don't tell anyone.

He's gonna help me try to find tommy.

Oh,really?

What did--what did you do?Did
you browbeat him into it?

No,he...

he was so supportive and just there for
me,and I've always been so hard on him.

He's a really good man.

Well,yeah.

No,yeah,he is.

Hey,iigured you'd be at the party.

Yeah,I figured you wouldn't be.

You talked to kitty.

- Yeah.
- Yeah,how'd that go?

Well,there was a lot of weeping.

Then kitty told me to buck up.

- Great.
- We've got you...

exactly where you want
to be,in the middle.

Look,robert...

I love this job.

But more importantly,I
love you both very much.

So I have to assume that you'll find a way
to figure this out,because if you don'T...

- I'm gonna ve
to-- take sides.

Sure.I understand how that
works.I'm a politician.

Does it help to be that cynical?

No,not really.

Come on.You're a senator.

Can't you get this guy
drafted or something?

he'd probably be -F.

I love her,kevin.

I want my marriage to work.

So do I.

You know what the real
tragedy is?I'd miss those...

walker family meltdowns.

what time do they get started tonight?

Two hours ago.

he kissed you?

I said don't overreact.

- How did this happen?
- I don't know.It was weird.

- I-I didn't know what to do.- Did
you tell him we're back together?

No,justin.We said we
weren't gonna tell anyone.

You know what?This is
crazy.I'm gonna talk to him

-- justin-- it's
fine,all right?

Just--just
trust me.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah.

So,uh...

you and rebecca?It's not gonna happen.

That's funny,because we're on a date.

N-no,you're not.

All right,and I know you didn't know this when you tried
to kiss her,but we're actually getting back together.

- Really?
- Then why did she kiss me back?

You're a real piece of work,aren't you?

Is this thing that you have for rebecca even real,or
is this just another way to screw with me and my family?

What's that supposed to mean?

I know,okay?I know.

I know about your bad
feelings towards my dad.

I know that's why you work at ojai.

I know that's why you made a pact with holly
to vote with her at all the board meetings.

- You must have kissed up to
holly-- I didn't kiss up to anybody.

She came to me.

There you e!

We're on.

I could k*ll you right now.

Oh,no,no,no.You're just
nervous.Breathe,breathe.

Start the music.

i say either,and you say...

either.

You say neither,and I say...

neither.

Either either.

Neither neither.

Let's call the whole thing off
let's call the whole thing off.

Ojai potato and ojai...

potato.

OjaI tomato and ojai tomato.

Potato potato.

To-mato
to-mato.

let's call the whole thing off

you deliberately sabotaged the act.

You're lucky I didn't pull your
sash off and choke you with it.

What did I do?

You played me,holly.

You manipulated me into
letting ryan on the board.

- Why would I do that?
- I don't know.

You made some kind of deal with him.

What,did he promise you his vote?

I don't have any control over his vote.

Why don't you give me some credit
for how hard I work around here?

The only hard work you've ever done
is getting my father into the sack.

So what did you say to ryan?

I welcomed him to this company.

You made an alliance.

Please.

You think I'm in bed with ryan lafferty?

Not even I would go there,holly,but now that
you mention it,I wouldn't put it past you.

You are upset.I understand.

Your husband is remarrying.

I would be upset,too.

Really?Because I've begun to think that
you're incapable of having genuine emotions.

The only way you know how to deal with
people is to make a deal with them.

Espera.Espera.

You're right.

I was just trying to get some security in ojai
because I was never gonna get it from you,right?

You have never given me one reason to believe
that I could ever be anything but your enemy.

You can drop the sensitive act.

The show's over,holly.

So bottom line--you think
that I am a sociopath?

Borderline.

Well,you know what I think you are?

No.I can't wait to hear,though.

Unhappy.

- Ryan.
- Hey,you guys still fighting over me?

Ryan,I had no idea it was
a competition until tonight.

Yeah?Well,don't worry,'cause after this
evening,there will be no competition.

I'm gonna take care of myself,and
you guys can go to hell.

Would you guys please stop it in
here?Everyone can hear what you're saying.

Excuse me.I think you may
want to go back to the party,

because your guests are
slightly freaked out.

Uh,ryan,are you okay?

Could you just leave us alone so
that I can talk with ryan and sarah?

I don't want to talk to you.

I don't trust you.I
don't trust any of you.

- Ryan-- I don't want
to talk to you,either.

You got me into this mess.

I'm gonna go to your house,I'm gonna pack
my things,and I'll be gone in an hour.

Would you people just
please leave me alone?

I don't understand.I mean,what happened?

What would make him lose it like that?

Clearly,he's in trouble.

Guys,I'm--I'm
sorry.This is my fault.

Justin,no,it's not.

It is.

You told me not to talk to him,and I
talked to him,and I'm--I'm sorry,rebecca.

Well,talk to him about what?

Nothing,mom.This is
between me and rebecca.

Justin,under the circumstances,if you
have any information about ryan,come on.

He's right.You should say sometng.

What do you know,justin?

All right.We just need
to give this kid space.

I mean,he's-- he's
really messed up.

He thinks his mom committed su1c1de.

Well,she d*ed in a car accident.

Well,he doesn't think
it was an accident.

- Oh,my god.- And here's the kicker--
he thinks dad was responsible.

But dad wasn't in the car.

Yeah,how is dad responsible for that?

He found receipts showing
that--that dad and...

connie were in a hotel room the
night before she crashed her car.

And he thinks that something happened
that night that drove her to do it.

Well...

where were they?

Uh,reno.

okay,okay.

I will go to reno.

Yes.

Connie,listen to me.

We'll talk about this when
I get there.I have to go.

I'm sorry.I didn't,uh,didn't
mean to interrupt.

No,I'm sorry.

Well,it seems like you're-- you're
dealing with a-a crazy person.

Well,this is what happens when you get into business with someone
who,uh,wants to change the terms of the contract midway through.

So what are you gonna do?

Right now I'm just trying to
terminate the relationship.

So why go to reno?

Damage control.

Rebecca's not here.She's
probably at justin'S.

Well,actually,I came to talk to you.

Look,I-I know that-- that we haven't
spent a lot of time together,but--

what do you want?

I know what you think
happened to your mother.

If you came here to tell me that I'm crazy or
I was out of line,then you can just go ahead--

no,no,I came to tell you
that I think you're right.

I think my father hurt
your mother very deeply.

I,uh,I-I heard him on the phone once.

He was talking to a woman named connie.

And at the time,I thought it was
a-a business deal gone south,...

but he was planning on meeting her in reno,and
I think he was planning on breaking it off

for good.

I mean,look,I...

I loved my father.I-I loved him...

more than anything.But...

when he wanted to,he could be
a real tough son of a bitch.

I mean,he had these terms he judged
relationships by,and if you tried to change them

or you tried to change him,he just
would simply cut you out of his life.

And so my mom must have
been a real problem for him.

Yeah,I think she became
one eventually,yes.

Well,thank you for telling me.

I really needed to know.

Yeah.

Yeah,so did i.

A hot tomato walks into a bar...

very funny.

Oh,it was the dessert,wasn't it?

I knew the candied
ginger was pushing it.

No,I loved the candied ginger.

Everything was perfect.Thanks,scotty.

I'm glad.

Although we did go a little over on the champagne,so
your bill may unfortunately reflect that.

Oh,I'm sorry.We should've alerted you
when we opened up the additional case--

scotty,I don't care about the bill.

Okay,well,I wouldn't worry about what
people heard between you and holly.

I really don't think
they heard that much.

It's not that,either.

And it's not that joe
is getting remarried.

And the kids,they'll love europe.

Who wouldn't?

Joe's getting remarried?

Yeah...

to his first wife.

Apparently they're soul mates.

Sarah,you--you don't still want
to be married to joe,do you?

Oh,god,no.

But I'm lonely.

that's what she sees.

- who is she?
- Holly.

busted by my nemesis.Can you believe it?

I want to meet my soul mate,scotty.

Then what's standing in your way?

It's not that easy,you know?

I mean,I'm a single mom,I-I
work all the time,I'm over .

No.Excuses,excuses.

You just have to find a way,no
matter what else is going on.

There's an amazing guy who has been
waiting his whole life to meet you.

You just have to go
out there and find him.

I mean,look at me.I...

I was living in my car when your
brother and i finally got together.

He's not living in his car,is he?

well,all the best ones are.

hello.

I know where he is.

You have a pen?

Yes,I have a pen.Where is he?

Nora...are you sure you want to do this?

Yes,yes,I want to know.

oh,hey,uh,hit the swings,buY.

I owe ben a lot of ice cream.

He bet me th you'd be here today.

Oh,well,he's a smart kid.

I don't see evan.

That can't be a good sign.

It isn'T.

Alec,I don't even know what to say...

e-except...

I'm married.

Yeah,I thought it
might come down to that.

Dad!

Look how high I can swing.

I should go.

Okay.

Bye,kitty.

Bye.

can I come in?

About ryan...

for the record,I did not know
his mother committed su1c1de.

I believe you.

Did he come in today?

I don't know.I'll call down.

hey,roy.It's sarah.Listen,ryan lafferty
didn't come in this morning,did he?

No,no,just checking.Thanks,roy.

Well?

He got here early.

I better start checking our options.

Good idea.

What about you?

Oh,I've got some things
I've got to process.

- Hey,you're home.
- Yeah.

I-I just,uh,I put evan down for a nap.

Oh,good.I'll-- I'll
go peek in on him.

W-wait,wait,wait.Robert,I,um,I
spoke with alec.

It'S...it's over.

- Good.-
It--it is.

it is.

But,um,that--
that doesn'T...

make our problems go away.

I-I-I-I don't recognize
myself anymore.

I-I...

do not want to be unfaithful,and
I certainly don't want to lie.

We have a son,and--and at the end of the road,it's
not just gonna be us who's gonna get hurt.

It's gonna be him,and I don't want to do
that.I don't want to be my father,robert.

I don't want to do that.

Just...

just tell me what you
think we should do.

I want to take a step back...

spend some time apart.

I think that we both need some
space so we can find our way back.

you're asking me for a separation?

I...I guess so.

- I had a weird dream last night.
- You did?

Yeah,that your mother and my sister were
singing show tunes in tomato-red dresses.

that's so bizarre,'cause I actually had the exact
same one,only in my dream,we found out we were orphans.

that's a good dream.

all right.Tell me more.

Well,then we decided to
sail off to thailand...

and there were pirates.

- I like pirates.
- I knoW.Tell me yours.

Okay,mine.I,uh...

I'm a doctor,and...

you...

you are an amazing photographer.

And on sundays,we go for walks on the
beach,or we can go hiking with our dog buster.

Does it have to be "buster"?

I'm serious.

I want to be a doctor and I want to be a husband and I
want to be a father,and it's all because of you,rebecca.
