["Stay High" playing]
I already feel
Like doing it again, honey
'Cause once you know
Then you know
And you don't wanna go
Back to wherever it is
That you come from, yeah
I just want to stay high
With you
'Cause where I come from
Everybody frowns
And walks around
With that ugly thing
On their face
And where I come from
We work hard and grind
And hustle all day
Yes, we do
There comes a time
[man] Good morning.
At night
Where we get to play
And we smile and laugh
And jump and clap
And yell and holler
And just feel great
I just want to stay high
With you
With you, with you, baby
So don't question
My state of mind
I'm doing wonderful
Just fine, thank you
Thank you
Everything is everything
And everything is beautiful
How did you get like that?
See, all I do
Is keep it cool
And don't worry
'Bout what...
[clock ticking]
-Are you okay?
-I'm nervous.
Yeah, that's normal.
Can I hold your hand?
-It's a little sweaty.
-Oh, I don't care about that.
I've had a good life,
haven't I?
Yes, you have
and it's not over yet.
I had a dream that the doctor
told me that I was gonna die.
A dream doesn't make it so.
Most of my dreams come true.
That's ridiculous.
You're not acknowledging
the power of my dreams.
[doctor] Ladies, sorry
to keep you waiting.
It has been a little crazy
out there this morning.
Is it lung cancer?
Grace, please.
I mean, I know
it's lung cancer.
I started smoking when I was 14.
What else could it be?
I'm really sorry that I wasted
everybody's time.
-Mom, wait. No, Mom, please!
-Grace!
Mom, please!
Well, 68's a pretty good run.
I mean, I drank. I smoked.
I... I ate pretty much
anything I wanted to.
There's no reason for anyone
to feel sorry for me.
I was one of the lucky ones
until I got this lung cancer.
Mom. Mom, please
let the doctor speak, okay?
Grace, please.
You don't have lung cancer.
I know that there's something
wrong with me.
A person knows their own body
better than any doctor
ever will.
There is something wrong.
What is it?
Well, Grace,
this is a little complicated,
so I'm going to walk you
through it.
-You have leukemia.
-Oh?
Now, this is a very
serious disease,
but you actually
don't have any symptoms yet.
Well?
We will monitor your
blood levels every six months,
but there is
a very real chance
that you might die
of something else entirely
before the leukemia
ever presents itself.
Eh...
Thank you.
How are you doing, Mom?
You okay?
I'm still processing it all.
We will get through this.
This is not a death sentence.
Okay.
What... What are you doing?
I was going to quit
if it was lung cancer.
This-- Well, smoking is how
you got leukemia, Mom.
[Wanda sighs]
You heard what he said.
I'll probably die
from something else
before this ever gets me.
He said you might.
What are you doing?
I need something to comfort me
after what I just heard.
I am here to comfort you, Mom.
That is why I am here.
You can't just quit smoking
after 50 years.
A shock to the system like that
could give me a stroke.
Do you want to give
your mother a stroke?
Would you let me make you
some lunch?
You're getting too skinny.
That is not true.
Or we could go
for some ice cream.
I don't have time today, Mom.
Hey, Mom, you're not fooling
anybody, okay?
Can you get rid of that?
Get rid of what?
Is Sarah still
driving you crazy?
You know, she's just stressed.
Well, make her go down
to City Hall and get married.
She wants a proper wedding.
Well, she should
have thought of that
before she was
eight months pregnant.
I have everything under control,
don't you worry.
Just come in for a quick
slice of my pecan pie.
I have to get to Mark's
therapy session.
This is something
you do together?
No, not usually,
but Mark says the doctor
wants me there today.
Why?
I guess I'll find out.
You should stop
paying his rent.
Mom, what good would it do
if he was homeless?
-He could move in with you.
-He doesn't want to do that.
-Well, then he could
move in with me.
-Yeah, that'd be great.
Sit around playing poker all day
with you and your gals.
There's a lot of life lessons
you can learn playing poker.
Mom, he has addiction issues.
I, I-- I don't think we need
to add gambling to that list.
It's not gambling
if you know how to play.
It's leukemia.
-[Tess] Hurray!
-[Mary] Oh! You said
it was lung cancer for sure.
-Turns out you can't always
trust your dreams.
-[cell phone buzzing]
[Tess] Let's go to the casino
and celebrate.
[Grace] Yes, let's do that.
Mom, I got to go.
What? Wait a minute,
wait a minute.
-I thought I was
making you a sandwich.
-Next time.
Well, don't let those kids
run you ragged, Wanda.
Okay. I will check in
on you later.
[Grace] Okay.
Hey, Mark. Hi. Listen.
Uh, I'm running a little late.
I'm sorry.
There's an emergency
with your sister,
and I'm not going to have time
to pick you up, okay?
So I'll just meet you there.
-Sweetie.
-Mom.
Honey. Sweetheart,
what happened?
-It's been over ten hours.
-What has?
It's probably because
of all the junk food I eat
or because, you know, the shocks
on Eugene's truck are so bad.
Sometimes when he's driving,
it's like you might as well
be riding a horse.
Honey, what?
He still wants to have sex,
like all the time.
And I just, I know
that's what's done this.
Done what?
This.
What, honey?
I don't feel anything.
That's because the baby
hasn't kicked in over ten hours.
Oh, Sarah, honey.
Oh, Mom, I k*lled my baby.
I k*lled my own baby.
Sarah, it's okay. Shh...
It's okay?
How could you--
How could you say that?
It's not gonna be okay.
Why don't we just wait to see
what the doctor says, honey?
-I am sure--
-Mom, it's been ten hours.
Ten hours is a long time.
Sweetheart, babies sleep.
They sleep a lot.
-Where is Eugene?
-Um, he's at work.
I left him a message,
and I told him
that the wedding is off.
The dress is almost finished.
We have the church.
You know you want
this wedding, honey.
I'm only marrying Eugene
because I got pregnant.
And now that I've k*lled
my own baby...
Honey, please stop--
...it doesn't really
matter anymore.
[sobbing]
-While I was waiting for you...
-Mm-hmm?
I made a list of 25 things
that I should be doing
rather than sewing booties.
-You don't sew.
-It's a metaphor.
All right, sweetheart,
why don't I just go
see what's taking
so long, okay?
You stay here,
and I'll be right back, okay?
Oh, no, Mom. Mom. Mom.
I think I did something
really wrong here, and...
'cause I gotta do
everything wrong, don't I?
Sweetheart, sweetheart.
It's really your fault
because...
you never taught me and Mark
how to be real people,
to live a real life.
And now I'm supposed
to raise a littler person.
And it doesn't matter anymore
because my baby is...
[exhales deeply]
Are you okay? You okay?
Oh... [chuckles]
[laughs] Oh, Mom.
There is your strong boy.
Now he's just showing off.
[Wanda laughs]
Okay. Let's go. It smells
like sick people in here.
All right, sweetheart.
You want to call Eugene,
tell him that the wedding
is back on?
Oh, I've already canceled it,
like, a dozen times.
I'm sure he's used to it
by now.
Are you glad
that you had me and Mark?
What kind of question is that?
Even after we turned out
like the way we did?
A crackhead
and an unwed mother?
Listen, Mark is doing
much better.
We're about to get you wed.
-And you like Eugene?
-Yes. He's a good man.
He's gonna make a good father,
good husband.
He's kind of dumb, isn't he?
[laughs] Eugene is not dumb.
I thought that
if I married somebody
that wasn't all that smart,
that I could get him to do
anything I wanted him to,
but it's not really
working out like that.
Listen, you want a partner
to go through life with.
Eugene has a good heart.
You know that.
Hey, don't tell him all that
stuff I said inside there.
No, honey, of course not.
And the baby's fine.
That's really all that matters.
Yeah, that and having
the perfect wedding.
And the wedding.
I know you think
this wedding is stupid.
-No, I do not.
-You might be right.
I'm so pregnant that when
I tossed the bouquet,
the baby might poke an arm out
and try to catch it.
Listen, your father and I
are very happy
to put this wedding together
for you, honey.
Oh, yeah, because I see Dad
doing so much.
Listen, he's paying
for half of it.
As long as he does that,
I'm happy to do the rest.
Watch your feet.
Great. Aye yai yai.
Okay. Hold on,
let me give you a hand.
-I'm fine. I've got it.
I've got it.
-[Eugene] Sarah!
-Sarah, what's going on?
-What are you doing here?
I got your message.
I couldn't understand
a word that you said.
You sounded really panicked.
What happened?
Nothing. I just said
that the baby was dead
and I'd never marry you
in a million years.
-Okay, honey, I got--
-All right. But are you okay?
The baby's fine. I'm fine.
Wedding's back on.
Don't be such a drama queen.
-Honey, I got to go.
I'll see you later.
-I love you, Mom. Bye.
Oh, if you're
off work, though,
could you go
to that place I like
and get me that meatball sub?
-See you, Eugene.
-All right, Wanda.
Bye, Wanda.
I'm sorry. The receptionist said
I could just come right in.
Sure. It's fine.
Wow. You got your hair cut.
I didn't get my hair cut.
Yeah. I can see
you got it cut.
I didn't get it cut.
I cut it myself.
-Wow. Why?
-Um, I'm sorry.
It kept getting in my eyes.
-Can we, um...
-[Wanda] Okay.
-Yes.
-Where were you?
Uh, there was an emergency
with your sister. Sorry.
I'm sure that that's not true.
She was at the hospital,
Mark, so...
I'm sure that she thought that
there was an emergency,
-but I'm sure it was nothing.
-Okay, I'll tell you what.
Let's focus.
You know, I had to ride
my neighbor's bike to get here.
Okay, well, it's a nice day
outside.
I'm sure a bike ride
probably did you some good.
-[Wanda chuckles]
-Did me some good.
Mom, listen, look,
I agree to come to these.
Most of the time,
I'm talking to Dr. Sherman
about my abandonment
issues or whatever.
And then I have to come in here
today and explain to him
that my mom is abandoning me
for my sister.
And this happens
over and over again.
Like there was the time
two months ago
where I needed you,
and you had to drive to Sarah's
to go scrape up a dead squirrel
that was three streets down
from where she lives.
But just knowing that its
flattened body's out there
makes Sarah hyperventilate,
and then she can't concentrate
on the cooking shows
she watches all day,
even though she doesn't cook.
Okay. She likes food, Mark.
Hey, I like oxygen.
I don't watch a channel
devoted to air all day.
Mark, she was at the hospital.
I had to go and check
to see if she was all right.
Mom, I had to ride
my neighbor's
12-year-old daughter's
bike here.
Okay, Mark,
we are both here now,
so how about we don't waste
any more of Dr. Sherman's time?
-Thank you. Thank you, Wanda.
-I'm sorry.
And it's so interesting
that you actually, uh,
uh, said it exactly like that.
Uh, wh-- How do you mean?
I've decided, uh,
that Mark and I
are going to end his therapy
as of today.
Oh! Okay.
That's good news, isn't it?
Well, we're here, Mark and I,
um, to talk about the issues
that he has to move past
so that he has a chance
to have the best life
that he possibly can.
-Yeah. Okay.
-Okay.
So, Wanda, let me ask you...
did Mark spend five years
in the Army
fighting in Afghanistan?
Why would you waste
all of that time, Mark?
You have been seeing this guy
for more than six months.
He got paid.
I don't care
about Dr. Sherman.
Don't you want to get better?
-There's nothing wrong with me.
-Oh!
Okay, I've had a few meltdowns
in the past.
In a crowded pool,
at a crowded mall.
I just don't like crowds
that much.
Mark, don't.
Give me this thing.
Mom, I'm fine.
The medication is working.
Why are you so mad?
Because you only get this skinny
when you stop taking
your medication.
-Can I drive?
-You haven't answered
my question.
You didn't ask a question.
You made a statement.
Have you stopped taking
your medication, Mark?
Can I drive? I want to show you
something nice.
No, I've got a million things
I got to do.
You have time to see something
nice. You'll like this.
[Wanda] If I found
another therapist,
would you agree to go?
-Yeah, sure.
-You promise not to lie to them?
I'd say yes, but I'd hate
to have to lie to you.
We could go together.
What, like couples therapy?
Mark, please
take this seriously.
Let's just enjoy
this drive, please.
Where are we going?
-I told you, it's a surprise.
-I don't love surprises.
What are we doing here?
-[Mark] I work here.
-Doing what?
[Mark] Come inside.
Inside.
-[dogs barking]
-[house alarm beeping]
Hey, boys.
Mom, this is Buddy,
Mazzy, Arturo.
-[keypad beeping]
-[alarm stops]
They are the best.
Hey, guys, bathroom?
Whose house is this?
Come on, boy.
It's great, right?
Go on.
Yeah, so it's not technically
a real, real job,
but I get to stay here for free
while I take care of the dogs.
For how long?
Two months starting today.
So, who actually lives here?
How do you know them?
You worry too much, Mom.
Yes, I am your mother.
That's my job.
Well, I've been good
for a year or so.
A year?
Nine months, give or take.
[sighs] So why did you cut
your hair so short?
There's ticks out here.
I thought it'd be easier
with short hair.
You don't believe me.
Well, at the doctor's,
you said you cut your hair
because it was getting
in your eyes.
Yeah, that was a lie.
-So then this is the truth?
-Yes.
Why do you make them
sound the same?
All right, Mom, I'm fine.
I'm actually doing really good.
Look.
Hey, can you return that bike
to my neighbor's house?
Sure. Who is it?
I don't know. Some guy.
So-- Some guy? All right,
he'll be easy to find.
You know I'm horrible
with names.
He lives above me in seven.
He said
he knows you, actually.
How does he know me?
I don't remember.
I'm also terrible
at remembering
the things
that people tell me.
What is it you think
you're good at, Mark?
[scoffs] We'll see.
[light guitar music playing]
[sighs]
[guitar music continues]
[train whistle blowing]
[train bell dinging]
[sighs]
Hey, Wanda.
Hi. Yes, I'm returning this
for Mark.
Oh, oh, you brought
back Kimmy's bike.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
But you didn't have to
bring it all the way up here.
We usually
leave it downstairs.
You don't...
you don't remember me.
-No, uh... No, I do. Kind of.
-Kind of.
Uh, no, I'm sorry. Not really.
I'm sorry. I don't.
Albert Newman
from high school.
Come on. Same face.
Litt-- Little Albert Newman?
[stammering] You were like
a stick figure in high school.
Smaller, yeah.
It looks like you're wearing,
like, body armor or something.
Well, I got divorced
a few years ago,
and, you know, I didn't know
what to do with myself,
so one day, I decided
to go to the gym.
Ah! And you ate
all the weights.
[both laugh]
-You are still funny.
-Me?
Yeah, yeah. You were very funny
back in high school.
-I was?
-Yeah, you were.
-[smoke alarm beeping]
-Oh, hold on, hold on.
Oh! [groans]
What do you got
going on in there?
Whoo!
Kimmy's school, you know,
they have a parent come in
and, you know,
cook a meal for the kids.
So, I thought that I would,
I would bake something,
you know, some kind
of dessert.
But I keep burning everything
or everything breaks apart,
you know.
I-- I don't know what
I was thinking. I can't cook.
I don't know
what I'm going to do.
Wait, when are you supposed
to do this?
Tomorrow, after my shift
at the firehouse.
All right, don't look
so panicked.
It's going to be A-okay.
I have a plan.
[light music playing]
-Hello.
-[Sophie] Hey.
I hope it's okay
that I'm waiting for you here.
Uh, don't you have a class
to teach?
I was supposed
to have office hours,
but I stuck a note on the door
that there was an emergency.
Oh, what was the emergency?
The emergency is that
I needed to see you.
No one's watching.
This is a very nosy
neighborhood.
-Believe me.
-Okay. So, let's go inside.
But I have to get ready
for work, so no funny stuff.
-Okay.
-Okay.
No, quit it.
Oh, my goodness.
That was amazing.
You're f*cking amazing.
Thank you.
It's like, whatever
my body wants,
your mouth and your fingers
anticipate it.
[Wanda chuckles]
And it's all connected.
And it sends me
higher and higher
until I feel like
I'm going to pass out.
But then you bring me back
into my body again,
and I feel every
wave and shimmer,
and I feel like I'm gonna
melt through this bed,
through the floor,
down into the center
of the earth.
That's-- that's so vivid.
Do you not feel the same way?
No, I do. I do.
I just don't have, um,
as many words as you, I guess.
-You don't need them.
-[Wanda chuckles]
How come we never go
to your house?
I don't mind coming here.
I know, but I've never seen
where you live.
My place is a mess.
Oh, I'd like to see
where you live.
Maybe, I don't know,
meet some of your friends.
My friends are the worst.
You would hate them.
Then why are you friends
with them?
They're not even--
They're just people who teach
in the same program I'm in.
I'm not even going to see them
very much longer anyway
because I just heard back
from BU.
Why are you just telling me
this now? What did they say?
They offered me the job.
Sophie, that's
wonderful news. Wow!
I'm very excited.
And I think you should
come with me.
-Come with you to Boston?
-Yeah, why not?
What would I do in Boston?
We could find a place together.
What would I do for money?
Can't you do
bookkeeping there?
And what about my kids?
Your kids
are grown-ups, Wanda.
They are at a very vulnerable
time in their lives right now.
So am I. So are you.
Isn't that what life
is all about?
-I think--
-[knock on window]
-[Henry] Okay.
-[Sophie] There's an old man
and, like, three children.
Okay. It's all right.
That's Henry. Hmm.
Wow. Okay, let's give Wanda
a little private time.
[boy] Yeah.
[car engine starts]
She's awesome.
You always been a l*sbian?
It's a recent thing.
Careful! Easy--
Watch the paint.
My, the boys
are getting so big.
Did you ever sleep with Cindy?
-With who?
-Cindy-- Whatever.
The neighbor.
She lived in the house
behind ours.
-Cindy Asher?
-Yeah.
You guys used to lie
in the sun together,
put lotion on each other.
-No. No.
-No? That's too bad.
Yeah. It sounds like
maybe you wanted
to sleep with Cindy Asher.
-Could that be it?
-I will take the fifth on that.
Does Marshall know
you're sleeping with a woman?
He broke his wrist
about a month ago.
I'm going to tell him
after it heals.
What does a broken wrist
have to do
with you sleeping
with a woman?
Well, Marshall likes to play
basketball, right?
Baseball and... he can't now
because of his wrist.
He's very depressed,
so I'm just going to tell him
after his wrist heals.
Oh, okay.
Now, you sound like Mark,
with all his reasons
when something happens.
Please, in the name of God,
just stop! Sit!
-Okay.
-You know, I was talking
with Marshall,
and he was kind of
complaining that you--
You were talking to Marshall
about my relationship with him?
-What business is that of yours?
-He brought it up.
We just think that maybe
you should embrace the fact
it's time to move on to the next
phase of your life, like I did.
What are you doing here, Henry?
Don't you have a job
or something?
I need to talk about
Sarah's wedding.
All right. The dress
is almost done. It's beautiful.
I have a picture on my phone
if you want to see it.
I left you a message
about the church.
It looks like we're set.
I swear to God,
I'm going to k*ll you!
Here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
I thought I was going to be able
to chip in, but I can't.
Henry, don't.
Who decides to have a big
wedding at the last minute?
Sell that stupid car.
It's not a stupid car.
That car's a classic.
I have spent years
restoring it lovingly, okay?
There's only one other of those
on the entire East Coast.
Who cares? This is what
you do for your kid.
I can't do it. I can't do it
right now. The market sucks.
You just said
there's only one of them.
There's only one
on the East Coast,
but it turns out there's a lot
of them on the West Coast.
It's complicated.
The market's-- It's swamped.
So, the best offer I'm getting,
it's like half my asking price.
And I don't know
if you've noticed,
but I have a few more kids
than I used to.
-And that's Sarah's fault?
-Look, can we just...
talk honestly for a second
about this wedding?
-Don't. Don't, Henry.
-No.
You know I love her.
I want to do anything
that I can for her.
I mean, doesn't it
kind of smell like
this may be the first
of several weddings for her?
That is an awful thing to say.
I'm just saying
what everybody's thinking.
Oh, boy. So what am I
supposed to do now?
I'm just saying
I don't have the money.
I can't contribute anything.
If you want to do
this big wedding,
you're gonna have
to pay for it yourself.
I'm sorry.
Hey!
What did I tell you?
You sit in the car.
It's not a-- it's not a bouncy.
[laughter]
[indistinct chattering]
[man] What's up, Wanda?
[Wanda] How's it going?
Hey.
Hey, I'd come
and give you a kiss,
but you seem like
you're in a good groove.
I always have time
for a little kiss.
-How's the wrist?
-It's good.
They said I can take this thing
off at the end of the week.
-Oh, great.
-Yeah.
You know, I'm still pissed
that I broke it, but...
-Well, you know, people
get hurt all the time.
-Yeah.
You know what it is?
It's just, it's stupid,
but I hate getting old.
[laughs]
-It's stupid, right?
-No, I mean, everybody
in the world feels that way.
But what's the point of life?
You know, what's the real point?
-What do you mean?
-I don't know.
I feel like I lost
the thread of my life.
Like, I just don't know
what to do with myself.
Because you broke your wrist?
I broke my wrist.
I can't play sports.
I can't do what I want
when I want to do it.
And I start to think like,
what am I even doing here?
Like, what is the point
of all of this?
Like here on earth?
It's insane. Right?
I know it's probably
a midlife crisis,
but I swear I went through
one of these two years ago.
Well, why don't you wait
to see how you feel
once the cast comes off?
You're right. That's smart.
You want to get married?
-What?
-Forget I said that.
Forget I said that.
Okay. You're kind of a little
all over the place.
I'm sorry. I-I shouldn't
have said that.
I shouldn't
have asked you that.
Let's talk about the news
about your mother.
I'm sorry. How's she
taking the news?
Well, uh, since she thought
she had lung cancer,
somehow leukemia is like
the best news in the world.
And how was the rest
of your day?
Well, Mark got thrown
out of therapy.
Then I had to rush to meet Sarah
at the hospital.
-Is she all right?
-Yeah.
She didn't feel the baby kick,
so she thought
something was wrong.
Wait, was there?
No. He started
kicking up a storm
while we were sitting there
in the waiting room.
-Wow. You had some day, huh?
-Yes.
Then Henry came by
with all of his many children,
told me that he can't pay
for his half of Sarah's wedding.
Wow, that's a lot of people.
You see anybody else?
Uh, no, that was it.
Uh, let me--
No. That was-- Yeah.
But he said
he was going to pay.
Yeah, now he says apparently
he can't afford it.
So what are you going to do?
I don't know. I'll figure
something out, I guess.
You know, I could
give you the money.
That is very generous, Marshall.
Thank you, but--
Just keep it as an option.
You know, I've been
trying to figure out a way
to be a part of this wedding.
Maybe this is,
you know, my way in.
[light music playing]
-This is from last week.
-Perfect, thank you.
[lounge music playing]
-There's my daughter.
-Here I am.
Are you going to come by
and check on me every night
now that I'm sick?
-[cell phone chimes]
-Is it too late to get
that ice cream?
No, I'd love it.
Who is that?
-Oh, it's your granddaughter.
-Well, what is she saying?
She says she can't sleep.
Oh, well, let's go
bring her along.
I'm going to get strawberry,
chocolate
-and then I'm going to get
some Jamocha almond fudge.
-Uh-huh.
-I'd like some hot chocolate
fudge syrup...
-Uh-huh.
-...but not that liquidy kind.
-Okay. Mm-hmm.
Shoobie-doobie
Doobie-doo-wop-wop...
[Wanda] Thank you.
-How come you couldn't sleep?
-Oh, I don't know.
Maybe it's because I have
a tiny human inside me
who's trying to kick
his way out.
[Sarah winces]
This place
has been here so long
that your grandpa
used to take me here
when we were dating.
That's so romantic.
Did I ever tell you
about the time when
your grandpa robbed a bank?
No, no. You've never told me
anything that awesome.
Dad never robbed a bank, Mom.
-This was before I met him.
-Mom!
Do you want to hear
this story or not?
Well, I do. Shut up, Mom.
Let her tell it.
You know, I've always known
that I had fugitive blood
running through my veins.
Stanley must have been
about 18 years old,
and he had just quit
the chicken factory.
What's a chicken factory?
It's a great big place
where they k*ll thousands
of chickens every day,
and Stanley quit
after less than a week
and then didn't eat chicken
again for the next two years.
So he had no money coming in,
and he didn't want
to move back in
with those parents of his.
-So he started robbing banks.
-Just the one bank.
Yeah, if you steal enough money,
you only need to rob the one.
So he's in a bar one day,
and this tough old fella
strolls up to him
and his name is Lucky,
which is a joke name,
because this Lucky
had the worst luck
of anybody in the world.
And he whispers
to your grandfather
how he's going to rob
a bank on Friday
and he needs a getaway driver.
Somehow I cannot see Dad
being a part of this.
He needed the money.
Keep going, Grandma.
Stanley didn't want to do it,
but he figured,
I don't have to do any of
the robbing. Just the driving.
So the day comes.
Lucky has stolen them
a really fast car,
and they head over
to the bank.
Oh, my God, this is so exciting.
I know that Grandpa doesn't die
in a shootout or anything,
but it's still really exciting.
Lucky says, "You stay right here
in front of the bank
till I come out and jump
into the backseat."
He's supposed
to just stay there?
Oh, now
you're all interested.
So your grandfather
is scared to death,
but he's got the car running,
and he's clutching
the steering wheel
with both hands
so tight his knuckles
are white.
The baby loves this story.
He keeps jumping up and down.
Sweat is pouring down
your grandfather's face,
and he's going to stay
right there,
even though he thinks he hears
a siren in the distance.
He shouldn't just wait there.
He should leave Lucky.
He should go.
And then he hears yelling
from in front of the bank.
The back door rips open,
Lucky jumps in
and yells, "Drive!"
Is that it?
Is that the end of the story?
No, but my ice cream
is melting.
I have to eat some of it before
it gets mushy, which it is.
Oh, it's so much better
when it's mushy.
-What?
-What?
At home, I microwave
my ice cream before I eat it.
-Microwave?
-Yes.
Whose child are you?
Grandma, the story.
Keep going.
Stanley is tearing
down the street.
They get out of the city.
They're on some old
country roads.
They're going
90 miles an hour.
And Grandpa's actually giddy
because they did it.
-They robbed a bank.
-[Sarah] Wow.
So your grandpa
calls back to Lucky,
"How much money did we get?"
And from the back seat he hears,
"What are you talking about?"
Is Lucky trying to screw grandpa
out of his share?
Grandpa turns back to see
what Lucky's talking about,
and the fella
sitting in the back seat...
-isn't Lucky.
-Who is it?
When he heard all the yelling
from in front of the bank,
he assumed that it was at Lucky.
But it turns out,
there's a young couple
having a great big argument
in front of the bank.
The woman is hitting her fella
with her purse,
then she started punching him.
So he pushes her away,
jumps in the back
of your grandpa's car
-and yells, "Drive!"
-No way.
So what happened to Lucky?
Oh, Lucky.
They caught Lucky standing
in front of the bank
with a big bag of money
and a really confused look
on his face.
It turns out they gave him
two and a half years.
I like this story so much.
It's a good one.
[cell phone ringing]
It's Mark.
Oh, my gosh. He's house-sitting
this gorgeous house on a lake
-while the owners are away.
-Hey, Mark.
Yeah. No, I'm sitting here
with your sister and...
What's that?
Uh, okay. Yes.
Okay. All right.
I'll be right there. Bye.
-Okay, we have to go.
-Why?
Because your brother
is in jail.
-What?
-Since when?
I'm going to drop you guys off
and find out what's going on.
[Grace] No, I'm going with you.
-No, you are not.
-[Sarah] So am I.
No, you're not and I'm not
arguing about this.
Man, I could use
another ice cream.
That was so good, wasn't it?
Yeah, we should go
to that place every night.
We'd weigh 700 pounds.
Yeah, but then we could join
a gym together or something.
How'd you stay thin
when you were young, Grandma?
[chattering continues,
indistinct]
What are we waiting for?
-I thought you paid Mark's bail.
-I did.
-Well, what's he in for?
-Breaking and entering.
Oh, see, Mark's got the fugitive
blood, like me and Grandpa.
You don't have
fugitive blood, honey.
Agree to disagree.
There's Mark.
[Mark] What are you guys
all doing here?
Did those cops shave your head?
No. What? What do you think
police do? I did it myself.
It looks like it. You should
have called me.
I always do Eugene's.
I don't understand.
Why did it take all three of you
to come and get me?
Because we are family.
Yeah, that's what family does.
If they ever strap you
to the electric chair,
we'll all be sitting right there
in the front row
when they zap you.
Okay. Thank you, Grandma.
That's very nice.
Mark, what happened?
Oh, it was just
a misunderstanding.
Yeah, about that house
you showed me.
Guy came home a lot earlier
than expected.
So, you just broke in?
I didn't break in.
You were there. You saw.
I knew where the key was.
I knew the alarm code. He--
He would have let me stay there.
I just couldn't find him to ask.
They could
throw your a*s in jail
for breaking and entering.
I mean, did you steal something?
No, of course I didn't
steal anything.
I wouldn't do that.
Oh, look at you all offended
about me asking questions
while we're bailing you
out of jail.
You wanna talk about jail?
Let's see how Eugene's feeling
knowing he's going to be
shackled to this soon.
-Everybody calm down.
-Shut your mouth!
-[Mark] Ow!
-[Wanda] Sarah!
[Grace] Sarah!
Let's get out of here
before we all get arrested.
-Get in the car!
-[Mark] Christ!
[Grace] Nice young lady.
[Sarah]
Stop being such a baby.
Oh, Mark.
This guy is not going
to press charges, Mom.
How do you know him?
And how about you tell me
the truth this time.
Weed.
So he's a drug dealer?
Weed's basically legal.
He's more of a wholesale
supplier, but...
He says he's retired,
but I know it's too much money
to completely
walk away from, so...
Boy, you're really hurting
my heart over here, Mark.
Mom, it's fine.
Don't have to worry about me.
It's funny how you
keep saying that
even as I am driving you home
after bailing you out of jail.
[Mark sighs]
[Sophie]
You always work this late?
Something came up with Mark.
Is he okay?
Yeah. I don't really want
to get into it right now.
Okay.
Let's go hit that bed of yours.
You been drinking?
I was out celebrating,
uh, the new job
with a couple of people
from work.
You didn't think maybe
I'd want to come?
Why would you want
to have drinks
with a bunch of book nerds?
This thing between us,
it's not just sex, right?
I mean, the sex is pretty great.
Oh, my God.
Hey. Hey.
The sex is amazing.
But of course
that's not all there is.
Don't you feel the power
when we're together?
Power?
Yeah. I can't think
of the exact name.
You just called it power.
You say you want this
to be more than sex,
but you never actually
tell me what you want.
What-- What do you mean?
I ask you how your day was,
and you don't want
to talk about it.
You tell me about your son
or your daughter or your mom.
What emergency there was.
But what do you want?
[Sophie snoring]
[Sarah] Mom, your favorite
and very thoughtful child
brought you some coffee.
Good morning.
-Hi.
-I'm Sarah.
-I'm Sophie.
-Yes, you are.
Okay, well, I'll just, uh,
give you girls a minute.
And, uh, then you can come
see your grandbaby
-at the doctor's office with me.
-Yeah. Give me a minute.
-Sorry.
-It's okay.
Just give me a second
before you start talking.
-My mother's a l*sbian...
-All right.
My mother's a l*sbian,
and my brother's going to jail.
I mean, I used to think
that I was the most interesting
person in this family,
but it turns out,
I'm a distant third.
Honey, can we just not make
such a big deal about this?
-Can we just go?
-Oh, okay.
Not a big deal. Fine.
Have you told Marshall?
I'm gonna--
I'm gonna tell Marshall.
-Oh, Mom.
-I'm going to tell him.
Let's go.
[indistinct announcement on PA]
That nurse is cute.
Mom, don't you think
that nurse is cute?
Well, I think she's cute.
-What are you talking about?
-I'll tell you later.
Oh. Sarah? The doctor
will see you now.
How you holding up, Eugene?
Yeah. You know, I think
I'm just ready to meet the kid
at this point, you know?
Can I ask you
something personal?
Sure.
When I was in the ER with Sarah,
she said that you always
want to have sex.
I did-- I don't.
Oh.
No, I, um... I do.
We have. Obvio--
Obviously, we have. Um...
It's-- you know how Sarah gets.
If I don't act like I want
to have sex all the time,
then she gets angry, you know.
And if she gets--
Then she thinks that I think
that she's ugly.
I don't think that she's ugly.
I never think that she's ugly.
It's just, frankly, I'm a little
freaked out by the prospect
of having sex with a woman
when she's--
[nurse] Grasea.
[whispering]
...of having sex with a woman
when there's a baby that's going
to come out any second.
It kind of scares me
a little bit.
So I have to pretend,
you know,
to try to keep her happy.
I got you. I got you.
-You know?
-Okay.
I should have guessed
it was something like that.
[chuckles]
-Can I ask you something?
-Yeah.
Is it always
going to be like this?
Just hang in there
till the baby comes, okay?
You are at the very beginning
of the really fun part.
Trust me.
I just...
-This is my fault.
-No, no, no, you're...
It's going to be okay.
[chuckles]
[upbeat music playing]
Wanda, you are saving my life.
Oh, please. I am happy to help.
So, I cleaned out
the entire kitchen for you.
Oh, that is so nice of you.
I don't need it. I got my grill.
Grill? How do you make dessert
with a grill?
You gotta trust me.
Okay. Campfire cones.
You take the cone.
You put in some marshmallows,
chocolate sauce,
chocolate chips, crackers.
Wrap it in tinfoil. Put it
on the grill five minutes.
Off the grill.
Ice cream on top.
You, my friend, will be the hero
of your daughter's class.
I like that. Yeah.
Sounds delicious.
All right, strong man.
Take this yellow box.
-All right. Here we go.
-I'll get the grill.
[Albert grunts]
You good? Let me know
if you need a hand.
-This is just sugar, huh?
-Yeah. [laughs]
And I'll get... You know what?
You'll get the grill.
Yeah, I got it. I got it.
-Good job.
-Yeah.
[grill clattering]
So I really, uh,
I really appreciate
you taking the time
to help me with this.
Ah! I'm happy to help.
If I wasn't here,
I'd probably be
running around doing something
for my kids, so.
Yeah, I remember days like that.
It's so much fun.
You know, fun is not the first
word that comes to mind.
[laughs]
You know, I have to, uh,
I have to take you out
to dinner
to pay you back for this.
-No, you don't.
-Oh, I want to.
All right.
I mean, not-- not like a date,
though. Just...
No, no, of course not. No.
Why, uh-- Why not as a date?
Are you seeing someone?
As it turns out,
I am seeing two people.
-A man and a woman.
-Really?
I mean, not really.
Not at the same-- not together.
I don't know why
I'm telling you this.
[laughs]
It sounds pretty ridiculous
now that I'm saying it
out loud.
No, no, it doesn't
sound ridiculous at all.
What?
If I'd known that this type
of dating was going on here,
I would have never left.
[laughs]
All right, okay. Enough.
Go check on those or something.
[sighs]
-There's my girl.
-Hi.
-How are you?
-Good.
-Ready?
-Yeah.
-[Marshall] You okay?
-Yep, yep, yep.
Were you able to sleep
last night?
Yeah. You know.
-It'll be good
to get this done with.
-Mmm.
Yeah.
Hey. So I usually don't handle
these things, but--
Why don't we just come back
when Alice is here?
You know what?
I know I saw Alice
put away the file, so.
Now I thought your ex-husband
was paying for half the wedding.
I'm actually
taking care of it instead.
Oh, okay, great.
You know what?
It's not my business, so.
[Reverend Peter laughs]
By the way, do you take checks?
Well, if I can't find
the paperwork for the wedding,
then I can't
tell you the amount.
We can't have you leaving
the church
a blank check, right?
I feel like now's the time
to tell a joke about God
and blank checks
in the church.
[Reverend Peter laughs]
Yeah. Well, we don't--
Around here, we tend not to tell
too many God jokes, but...
-[Marshall] Right.
-Yeah.
I mean, if you go through
the Bible,
it turns out He doesn't have
the greatest sense of humor.
Oh, you know what?
Here it is.
"Miles, Sarah." Excellent.
And I don't know why
she does this.
Who goes through the trouble
of making a file
and then putting nothing inside?
Why does she do this to me?
You know, we'll come back
another time.
It's not existential.
It's like a legitimate question.
Well, why don't we
just take care of it now?
Wanda, we're here.
No, because I-- Alice knows--
You know, I've been talking
to Alice the whole time.
She's not here right now.
The Reverend is not used
to handling, you know,
the paper--
And I'm seeing some--
I am seeing someone else.
I'm sorry. I don't understand.
I'm sorry.
I'm talking to Marshall.
I am seeing someone else
behind your back.
-It's okay.
-No, it's not okay.
I can't have you pay
for half this wedding
when I'm lying to you like this.
It's just not right.
I can't do it.
I already know.
You're seeing the English
professor, Sophie, right?
You al-- You already know?
Sophie's a woman's name.
I'm going to go see if Alice
is back yet because...
Alice?
It's okay.
-Wanda, can you stop
for a second?
-No, it's so humiliating.
Will you just wait a minute?
How long have you known
about me and Sophie?
About a month.
That's how long
I've been seeing her.
-Agnes from across the street.
-Uh, yes?
Her husband Billy, he sells me
most of my domestic beers.
Yes, yes, I know
who those people are.
Well, Agnes saw you
kissing Sophie on your porch,
and then she told Billy,
and then Billy told me.
So? I mean, it could have
been something innocent.
You know, I drove by your house
and I saw her car parked there.
And then sometimes
I drove back,
and the car was still there
in the morning.
Jesus, Marshall,
aren't you supposed
to be running a restaurant?
I know, but my wrist--
-Will you stop with the wrist?
-Okay.
You don't seem at all angry
about this.
I don't understand
why you're not upset
about me and Sophie.
I am upset.
But I don't know, maybe
because it's two women.
That is so insulting.
-Is it?
-Yeah.
-[cell phone ringing]
-It's like you don't believe
that two women
could have a real relationship.
Can you not answer that now?
Hey. Yes. Hi, Sarah.
Oh. Yes. Okay. I'm not far.
Yeah, I'll be right there.
Uh, I-- I don't think we should
see each other anymore.
You're breaking up with me?
I think it's for the best.
Oh, too bad
I'm not one of your kids.
What is that supposed to mean?
I'm crazy about you,
and you're breaking up with me.
Your kids,
they treat you like sh*t.
They take advantage of you.
And as soon as they need you,
you just run off.
You drop everything.
I don't have time to explain
to you how wrong you are.
[Marshall] All right. Okay.
Go help your grown-up kids.
[engine starts]
Mom.
-There's my daughter.
-What are you doing here?
I was watching the news,
and then that son of yours went
and sold his TV
and took it away.
Well, what is going on?
Where is all of Mark's stuff?
Well, I guess he sold that, too.
[Sarah] I still think
you could have
gotten more for the TV.
[Wanda] Mark!
-You called Mom?
-Obviously, I called Mom.
I only called Grandma.
Now I got the whole family here?
Mark, what is going on?
Where is all of your furniture?
Tell Mom
why you called Grandma.
I got to get this AC
down to the guy in 1A
before he gets to work.
Just...
He called Grandma
because he wanted money.
Did he, Mom?
I called Sarah to take me
to the bank,
and instead she brought me
straight here,
and they've been arguing
ever since.
-Mark, why do you need money?
-I don't.
Is this about drugs?
Nope. I haven't done drugs
in years, Mom.
Put that down.
You'll give yourself a hernia.
It's not...
It's not about drugs.
Tell her why you needed
the money, Mark.
Okay. It's not a big deal.
What do you mean,
it's not a big deal?
What is not a big deal?
Mark enlisted in the Army.
-You did what?
-Yeah, he enlisted.
Is that really such a huge deal?
Like the Army-Army?
Where they send you to wars
and people sh**t at you.
That Army, Mark?
Mom, there's thousands of jobs
in the armed services.
It's not all that.
You can become a mechanic
and repair Jeeps.
Oh, and that's why
you joined the Army.
Because you want
to repair Jeeps?
You couldn't learn
to repair Jeeps here?
I don't want to be a mechanic.
That was just an example.
The first example
you thought of is something
you don't even want to do.
-Okay, Sarah. Thank you.
-I could not possibly
be the problem here.
Why is everyone
in my apartment right now?
-I was brought here.
-I know that.
Sarah, sit down.
I don't understand
how this is even possible, Mark.
You were just arrested.
Gary dropped the charges
on the breaking and entering,
like I said he would.
And I called Grandma
because I thought
maybe I could borrow
like a couple bucks
because I'm completely broke
and, like...
I just didn't know if the Army
pays you right away
or if it takes
a couple weeks or so.
No. You don't need money
when you go into the Army
because they pay for everything.
Oh.
Well, I also owed
some people some cash.
-Hmm. There it is.
-Okay, Sarah, can you please--?
Why are there five answers
to every question I ask you?
-When I ship out
tomorrow, I'll--
-To--tomorrow?
Yeah.
I signed up
a couple of weeks ago.
I'm going to Louisiana.
No, you can't go.
You can't do tomorrow.
You're going to have
to tell them that you can
push it back because--
You can have your father
call them.
Mom, it's done. I'm signed up.
I'm going tomorrow. It's done.
So you were just
going to leave?
You can drive me tomorrow
so I don't have to take the bus.
If you want.
I gotta...
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Wanda breathes deeply]
I am so sorry, Mom.
You saw him.
He's so skinny and frail.
How's he going to survive
even a week in the Army?
How is he ever
going to survive in jail?
It did seem like that's
where he was headed.
No. There's no way
I'd let him end up in jail.
There's some things
that you have no control of.
So I hear now
that you're dating girls.
I'm not getting
into this with you.
Do you want to talk
about Mark some more?
I don't know what else
there is to say.
Hey, Mom...
are you gonna finish that?
[calculator whirring]
[Henry] I'm telling you, man,
cars now,
they're made out
of like, you know,
papier-mch,
composite bullshit.
This car, you know,
it's an American car
with ba*ls, you know.
You know what I mean?
Gracias.
[groans]
Oh, sh*t.
Wanda.
You're tying one on
at Kwan's, huh?
I had a fight with Allison.
-Oh, yeah? What about?
-Money.
Gosh, how unusual.
You are usually so good
with money.
[laughs sarcastically]
You're really good
with relationships.
-[Wanda] Oh, please.
-Oh!
Anyway, yeah, she's pissed.
She would also like me
to sell my car.
Huh! Good.
Does no one to understand
what it means to be a classic?
It means that they do not
make that car anymore.
They-- They will never
make another.
This is something that--
It should be cherished.
And Allison
doesn't share your view.
No. When she gets pissed,
she says she's going to douse it
with gasoline, set it on fire.
[laughs] I've had exactly
that thought.
Why does everyone
hate this car so much?
[grunts] Whoa!
-Are you all right?
-Yeah.
-Okay.
-Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm fine. I can drive.
Sorry, man. I need change.
So, did Mark tell you
that he joined the Army?
Yeah.
Yeah, about, uh...
About a week ago.
What are you-- I just saw you.
Why didn't you say anything?
I don't know. I thought
he would have told you first.
[Wanda sniffles]
So what are we going to do
about this?
I actually think the Army
could be kind of good for Mark.
So what happens when he goes
over to some other country
and, like, you know,
kills people
or watches his friends
get k*lled?
He's not a kid anymore, Wanda.
-He's stronger than you think.
-But the Army?
I just, I think he knows
he needs some structure,
and I think, you know, he wants
some kind of higher purpose.
Higher purpose.
Let him do yoga.
I also think, you know, not
spending all his time with you
isn't the worst idea.
I hardly even see him.
Yeah, but you're the safety net
he calls whenever
there's trouble.
Same with Sarah,
same with your mom.
-That's ridiculous.
-[chuckles]
Whatever they need,
whenever they need it,
whatever you're doing,
you drop it, you go
and you rescue them.
-No, that is not true.
-[Henry chuckles]
[cell phone ringing]
[Wanda breathes deeply]
-You want me to get that?
-No, I got it. Thank you.
Hello?
[Grace]
It's your favorite mother.
Hi, Mom. How's it going?
I need you to come down
to the casino and pick me up.
At the casino? What are you--
I just dropped you off
at your home two hours ago.
I know, but the girls wanted
to go to the Horseshoe,
so I hitched a ride.
Problem is, I won so much money
playing poker
that I need you
to come down here,
so we can each cash out
on half of what I won,
and I won't have to pay taxes
on any of it.
-Mom...
-I need you, Wanda.
My poker girls busted out
on me and left me.
I'll give you $500
towards Sarah's wedding.
Uh... all right.
Give me 45 minutes, okay?
-I love you.
-Love you.
[clicks tongue]
Just don't, okay?
Hey, I'm not saying anything.
Like everybody else,
I just appreciate the ride.
Ah...
[Wanda] Mom, just wait there.
I'm going to go park
and then we can check--
[Grace] No, no. We don't need
to do that now.
[Wanda] Wait. Why?
I was sitting here,
and I realized
that I had a little time
to wait,
so I thought I could squeeze in
a few more hands.
And so you lost
all the money?
No, I just cashed out
with $200.
How much were you up
when you called me, Mom?
A little over 4,000.
Oh, Mom!
Please don't yell at me.
I am a sick woman.
You cannot use that excuse
for the rest of your life.
You should have seen the hand
that I got beat on.
I couldn't possibly care less.
He had a full house.
Threes over eights.
Mom, I said I don't want
to hear about it.
Fine. I thought just maybe
deep down, you really did.
-Well, I really don't.
-Okay.
[blinkers beeping]
Where are you going?
-Where are you going?
-I don't know.
What are you so angry about?
I spend all day, every day
driving people around,
cleaning up their messes.
Who's everybody?
You, Sarah, Mark.
I do everything for Mark,
and he joins the Army?
I mean, I feel like I just
completely failed him.
Like he just went
and jumped off a bridge.
He hasn't, Wanda.
Now I can't pay
for Sarah's wedding.
-Why not?
-Because Henry can't stop
having children.
And now he can't pay
for his half of the wedding.
That jackass.
And then Marshall
offered to pay,
and I said, no, you can't,
because I'm having an affair
with a woman
behind your back
for some reason.
-And what did he say to that?
-He already knew.
Agnes and Billy across
the street already told him.
Oh, that Agnes. She's always
been such a big mouth.
So... so, did Marshall
break up with you?
-No, I broke up with him.
-Why?
Because if I'm having
an affair behind his back,
it's a pretty good indication
that the relationship
isn't working out.
And then you went and lost
all that g*dd*mn money!
What does that
have to do with...
Oh.
Just make her go down
to City Hall and get married.
Because, Mom,
it's not what she wants.
People don't always
get what they want.
And Sarah would finally
realize that
if you'd stop helping her
all of the time.
Mom, then who's going to do it?
It's always me.
Who do you think's going to
babysit this kid all the time?
Who's going to go get Mark
when he gets thrown
out of the Army?
Two weeks ago, I had to go see
Henry's kids in a play.
He's not my husband.
They're not my kids.
Then stop
answering your phone.
What about I want to do?
What is it that you want to do?
I don't know.
Then how is anybody stopping you
if you don't know?
Because the phone
never stops ringing.
I don't have five minutes
to myself to think.
I just told you.
Stop answering the phone.
Okay. Maybe I'll drive you
back to the casino
and you can walk home.
I'm 150 years old.
I already learned that life
doesn't turn out
the way you want.
Have you noticed
that I'm trying to quit smoking?
I just thought you weren't
smoking in front of me
because you got tired
of me screaming at you.
No, I know
that it's important to you,
so I'm trying.
How's it going?
Good moments. Bad moments.
But the point of it is,
I know you think that I'm not
listening you, but I am.
And I know that it's the same
for Mark and Sarah.
I would like to believe that.
We just don't like to admit
when you're right.
So you think I'm right?
I've said way too much.
Because you know that's
the only reason I do this, Mom,
is because I'm right.
[sniffles] It's hard
to be right all the time.
[car door closes]
[Wanda sighs]
Are you drunk again?
Is that how you greet every
person who comes to visit you?
I have had an exhausting,
long day.
I think you should probably
just go home.
I'm sorry.
We can just hang out.
We can do whatever you want.
-Look, I'm not moving
to Boston with you.
-Why not?
Because I cannot imagine
anything worse
than going to Boston
and sitting around waiting
for you to come home
after hanging out
with all your friends.
It wouldn't be that way.
So, in Boston, I would
get to meet your friends?
I was thinking you'd probably
make your own friends up there.
You are ashamed
to be seen with me.
That's not true.
I just like to keep
different parts
of my life separate.
Lots of people do that.
Yeah. You have
the interesting people
that you like to hang out with,
and then this older woman
who you like to have sex with.
You would never think that way
if you were a guy
and I was a girl.
All right?
Plus, the sex is great.
No, you know,
the sex is just sex.
I don't know why you
keep trying to write
like a poem about it
or something.
-It's just sex, Sophie.
-It's just sex?
Yes, sex is one part of life,
and I want to have a whole life
with somebody.
Is that what you have
with Marshall?
No, I broke up with Marshall.
So you choose me.
No, no.
I need to break up
with you, too. It's over.
So does this mean
this is the last time
we're going to make love?
No, honey, it means
that you have to go home.
I'm sorry.
[door opens, closes]
[soft music playing]
[breathing deeply]
[soft music continues]
You're parked in the bus lane.
Get in.
You know, it'd probably
be a federal offense
if you try to kidnap me to stop
me from joining the Army.
All right.
You didn't have
to do this, you know.
I know.
You didn't have
to do this either.
Kind of did.
Thanks.
If you're not going
to say anything,
I don't know why you bothered.
Come here.
[sobbing]
Thanks, Mom.
[sniffles]
[sighs]
["Flowers of Forgiveness"
playing]
Standing on the corner
Just begging more time
I won't miss it
You can have some of mine
Flower of forgiveness
Ain't hard to grow
You can find it blooming
By the side of the road
By the side
How we gonna carry
All the things that we know
[train bell dinging]
A pound of feathers
Or a pound of stones
[train whistle blowing]
[song resumes]
Eyes on the line boys
Steady as she goes
We sang every song
Anybody's ever known
Gave 'em to the ghosts
By the side of the road
Oh, God, she's going to have
to let the waist out again.
Why don't we wait to see
what she has to say, okay?
It's my fault.
I can't stop eating.
You're not supposed
to stop eating, honey.
Yeah, but this morning,
I had a breakfast burrito,
and then it was so good
that I made Eugene
go through the drive-thru
and get me another one,
and now I'm in so much pain.
Why don't you sit down
for a minute?
I can't sit in this dress.
Well, we can get that off you.
-I would rather
just get it done.
-Okay.
Ugh! Did you talk to the cousins
and make sure they're still
coming to the wedding?
Actually, Sarah,
there's something
we need to talk about.
Uh-oh.
It's "Ladybug"
when things are good
and "Sarah" when something's
wrong. What's up?
-It's your father.
-Is he dead?
-No, he's not dead.
-Okay. Is he dying?
No. He just can't come up
with his half of the money
for the wedding.
Hmph!
I knew this was going to happen.
He has a new family,
and suddenly it's like
Mark and I never existed.
No, honey, that's not true.
He loves you very much.
That's...
Oh, God!
Why am I trying on
this stupid wedding dress
if there's not even
going to be a wedding?
You can wear the dress
to City Hall and get married.
Oh, my God, Mom,
that is so tacky.
I don't want to do that.
All right, look, I was able
to get together $8,000
for this wedding.
Why don't I give that money
to you and Eugene?
It's not about the money, Mom.
I know it's not about the money,
but you guys could buy
something nice.
Uh, you can go on a honeymoon.
I wanted the day!
I wanted the day.
I wanted the church.
I wanted people
to throw rice at us and...
I wanted... I wanted Dad
to walk me down the...
Honey, I know. I'm sorry.
[clears throat]
These burritos are k*lling me.
How's the dress looking?
[Sarah breathing heavily]
-Ladybug?
-[distorted guitar music
playing]
Ladybug?
Okay. Uh...
-Oh, probably not the burritos.
-Okay, go. Just go. I have...
Um... I got the shoes.
[stammers]
I'm gonna pay for this.
We'll be back.
Honey, let's just go.
[Sarah] Sorry about the mess!
I'm not ready. No, I'm not--
I can't have this baby.
I can't have this baby
because the wedding
was supposed to happen first.
-I know.
-The wedding was supposed
to be perfect,
and it was supposed
to happen first.
I have a plan, okay, honey?
-Just breathe, please.
-What's the plan?
-[sighs] I'm-- I'm not ready.
I'm not ready.
-Okay. Hold on.
-What are you doing?
-I'm not ready!
-Oh, Jesus!
-[Sarah groans]
-Sarah!
-What?
You're going to give me
a heart attack.
All right. They're coming.
-Uh, honey, please,
can we go inside?
-No. No.
-Get her to go inside.
-I'm trying, Mom!
She's gonna wind up
having the baby
right here on the sidewalk...
-Two seconds.
-...outside of the hospital.
...they're gonna kick
everyone out, so we have
to do this right here.
-All right. Let's go.
-Hello, Reverend.
It's your turn.
-Yup. Thank you, son.
-Breathe, please, honey.
-I said dress shirt.
-There's buttons on it.
Don't worry. Don't worry.
This is good.
Dearly beloved,
we are gathered here today...
Skip past... [groans]
Oh. Uh...
Um, what is marriage?
Marriage is a union.
I'm gonna need you
to skip to the "I dos"
before this baby comes sh**ting
out of me at you.
Oh, heavens.
Reverend, I'm sorry.
This is not at all ideal,
and I'm so appreciative for what
you're doing for our family.
-Where did you find this guy?
-Mom.
-Shall we begin?
-Yes.
Um, do you take this man
to be your husband?
-I do!
-And do you take
this woman to--
-Oh, my God!
-[Eugene] I do. I do. I do.
[Reverend Peter] I now
pronounce you husband and wife.
[Wanda] Very good.
Thank you.
When you're down
And troubled
And you need
Some loving care
And nothing
Oh, nothing is going right
Close your eyes
And think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up
Even your darkest night
You just call out
My name...
-Hey...
-We have the same haircut.
[laughs]
He's awake.
[gasps] Oh, my goodness.
Oh... Oh...
Oh, he is just fabulous.
[Sarah] He just opened his eyes
a minute ago.
-[Grace] No!
-[Sarah] Mm-hmm.
[Wanda] Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my goodness.
How are you doing, Eugene?
I'm a bit overwhelmed,
I think,
but I'm happy
to get to the fun part.
[Wanda laughs]
-Did I do good, Mom?
-Oh, you did so good, Ladybug.
I wish Mark were here.
He couldn't have waited a day?
How was he supposed to know
you were going to have
the baby early?
Yeah. And he probably
wouldn't be
a very good influence
on this kid anyway.
-All right.
-That's not very nice.
This is your brother
you're talking about.
I don't really mean it.
I just wish he was here.
Yeah.
All right, well, your father
is on his way here,
-and so I'm going to go--
-Not be here?
-Get a coffee. Yes.
-[Sarah] Mm-hmm.
[gasps] Hi. Hi.
Aren't you just
the most beautiful boy
in the whole world?
He smiled at me.
-He has my smile.
-Yeah.
Oh, hey there, Grandma.
-Where have you been?
-Work. You called me at work.
Yeah. You couldn't leave early?
I could, but I had to find
someone to pick up the kids.
-Your wife can't do that?
-She works also.
What's the matter with you?
I don't know. Your daughter
just got married and had a baby.
Yeah, and I'm here.
[scoffs]
-You mad, Wanda?
-Yes.
Yeah?
I think you could have
done a better job
looking out for Mark.
Jesus. Okay.
Um... Mark is fine.
Mark is going to be fine.
Now, are you angry
because he joined the Army,
or are you angry
because you're not gonna
be able to see him every day?
You're not gonna be able
to do his laundry
and cut up his food for him.
-Do me a favor.
-What are you gonna do
if Eugene gets a job
somewhere else?
Is he looking for another job?
No, he's not looking
for another-- I'm just saying,
this is what happens, Wanda,
with families now. They scatter.
You only get to see each other
once or twice a year.
Christmas, maybe every other
Thanksgiving. Anyway...
-Great. Thanks.
-Okay. You know what?
Next time you get a good man
like Marshall interested in you,
maybe you don't
just toss him away.
-Hey, Henry.
-Yeah?
f*ck you.
-How's it going?
-You look exhausted.
[sighs]
[Wanda mumbling]
[mumbling continues]
[mumbling continues]
Oh, God.
[screams]
[mumbles, cries]
[grunts]
[crying]
[sighs]
-[Albert] Wanda?
-[footsteps running]
-Wanda!
-[door opens]
Are you okay?
You could hear me yell?
-I could. Are you okay?
-Yeah, I'm fine.
[chuckles]
I became a grandmother today.
Congratulations.
And I took my son to a bus
that took him away to,
um, to basic training.
-Oh, that's-- that's tough.
-Yeah.
I think people think I'm boring.
Why would they think that?
Because I just live
for my family.
They give me everything I need.
All the joy and the laughter
and the fun and frustration.
They keep me very busy,
and you know what?
I love it. Mmm.
It's all I've ever wanted.
[sniffles] It's just keeps me
so, like, tickled.
So what's the problem?
Everybody keeps telling me
I'm supposed to want more
out of life.
I feel, like, guilty.
[sighs] Yeah, well, um,
maybe you feel guilty
because you know what you want
and most people don't.
Hmm. Maybe.
You love being with your family.
What else do you like?
What-- What else do I like?
Hmm.
I have no idea.
Well, lately,
it's making me so happy
just to watch the sun
come through the window.
You know, like...
Like this. See?
I do.
I watch it most mornings
from my bed. I can see it.
And I saw it the other day
at the church.
You know,
I know what that means.
Why it makes you feel that way.
-You do?
-Yeah.
Come on, I'll show you.
[Wanda grunts, sighs]
[Albert] Here.
-Hold on.
I have to wear shoes.
-Okay.
-Come on.
-Okay.
[sighs]
The sun has been calling you
outside all this time,
and you've been ignoring it.
I've got a daughter named June
and tonight,
my ex-wife and I
will go to sleep
and not know where June is.
-Is it drugs?
-Yeah.
It's insane to me
that I can't...
take out my phone
and call her.
Mark had it pretty bad,
but not quite like that.
I'm so sorry, Albert.
You've got a daughter
with a healthy baby
and a son who's starting
a new adventure.
I'd take that in a heartbeat.
Everybody keeps telling me,
you got to let go,
you got to move on.
Move on from my family?
Like, what does that even mean?
It doesn't mean anything.
You get the call
that they need you, and you go.
-Yes.
-If my daughter calls
right now...
[chuckles] ...I would
leave you on this porch
and never feel a second
of guilt about it.
Well, of course.
I would drive you to her
if you needed me to.
-Thank you.
-[Wanda chuckles]
[train whistle blowing]
[train bell dinging]
-One of the perks.
-[Wanda chuckles]
[exhales]
You want me to help you
pack up Mark's stuff?
You do, and I'll buy you a beer.
-Not as a date.
-Oh, no. Not as a date.
Although I did dump both
of those people I was seeing
-since the last time we talked.
-Really?
It seems that we talked
not very long ago.
Sometimes that's just
how it goes.
Okay.
Okay, what?
Just okay.
All right. Let's get started.
-[Wanda] Ooh, ooh, ooh...
-[Sarah] That is good.
-[Wanda] That's so good.
-[Sarah] That is good.
I never had yogurt
from here before.
See, Mom, it's good
to try different things.
Well, it tastes good,
-but I'm still going to pretend
that it's ice cream.
-[cell phone chimes]
-[baby fussing]
-[Sarah gasps]
-It's Mark.
-[baby fussing]
Oh. I just sent him a picture
of the baby the other day.
How's he doing?
He is getting on a plane
to Frankfurt.
Looks like he will be stationed
in Germany for the next year.
Well, that's good. Nobody
shoots at you in Germany.
That is absolutely right.
Did I ever tell you
about the time I got
my pilot's license?
-Oh! Mom, please.
-[baby fussing]
Do you want to hear
the story or not?
-Go ahead. Go to Grandma.
-[baby babbling]
Yeah, I want to hear it.
Tell me.
I was in high school.
I was playing
for the girls' basketball team,
and we had a coach, a great big
fat fella named Mr. North.
And he owned three crop planes.
One day he says to me,
my friend Willy and I...
[continues, indistinct]
["I'll Be Right There" playing]

Don't you hesitate
