04x20 - Strange Familiar

Post by bunniefuu »

Hello, Betty.

I'm sure you and Leo have a lot to talk about.
So, good night, Leo.

Do you know what time it is?

Dylan just wanted to see the butcher shop.

It was a mistake to get married,

and I don't want to follow
my husband to Africa.

How did you ever marry that woman?

Betty was good to me.

I want to have children.
Just think about it.

I don't want to push you,
but I want to get married.

If we get married,

there's always a chance that
we could get a divorce.

License and registration please.

Son, this is a fishing license.

I had such a nice time tonight.

I'm sure my parents are in bed.

Gotcha!

Nora! Nora, wake up, I need some help.

Help with what? What's going on?

Is it a heart att*ck? Are
you having a heart att*ck?

No, I'm not having a heart att*ck.

I have to go pick up Kathleen.

Her son, Tom, got caught
driving without a license.

She wants me to go down there with her.

What do you need my help with?

It's the middle of the
night, I can't wake up Robbie

and take him down to the police
station in the middle of the night.

You're gonna have to babysit. Oh, no.

I don't babysit.

No one lets me babysit, ever.

I'll go pick up Kathleen and
go to the police station.

Yeah, that's probably a bad idea.

I'm sure you'll be just fine with Robie.

No, no, that's not the point,

the point is nobody trusts me with Robie.

If Robie accidentally fell and hit
his head when I'm babysitting,

I'd go to prison.

He's not gonna hit his head.

Go sleep in my bed, here's the monitor.

Get in there. You can do it!

All right, all right, I can do it.
I can do it.

But when Anne finds out
you've let me do it,

she may never let you keep the kid again.

You're right, you're right.

Thanks for pointing that out.

You have to go where?

Tom is down at the police station

and Kathleen needs me to go down there.

So you want me to get up
in the middle of the night

and leave my own son so you
can go help Wife Number One?

What's going on?

Let me speak to Ricky. No!

Was that your dad?

Yeah, Kathleen has a family
emergency, she needs him.

So, he wants me to go over
there and watch Robie.

I can go over there.

No. He can't just drop

his old life and start a new one so easily.

Let him figure it out.

I have no choice. I have to
leave Robie in your care.

And I can do that because I
absolutely trust you with my son.

You're not a drug addict,

you're not an alcoholic,
you're not a criminal.

You've served your time,

you've paid your debt to society,
and now you can babysit.

In an emergency. In the
middle of the night.

Never mind, I can't do it.

Uh, hi, Kathleen.

George, it's okay, I can't
wait any longer, I have to go.

I'm just gonna take a taxi so I
can drive Rachel's car home.

Thank heavens they didn't impound the car.

Why can't Rachel go with you?

Same reason you can't,

she has children and it's
2:00 in the morning.

You know I'd be there if I could. I tried.

George, it's okay, it's really okay.

I mean, I think I better

get used to the idea of
taking care of myself.

Well, your husband will be
coming home at some point.

Uh, no. I talked to him.

You talked to him?

It's over. And...

George, I can't talk about this right now.
I have to go.

Hi, Anne.

George? How are you?

Is Robie okay? Did he wake you up?

No, no, I... I just couldn't sleep.

Ashley and I are shopping.

She's trying on this unbelievable dress.

We're having such a great time.

Speaking the language, huh?

Yeah, it's been great to
brush up on my French.

But you're not just calling to say hello.

What's going on?

We're never gonna get back together
again, are we? You and me.

No, I don't think so.

But do we really need to
discuss this right now

in the middle of the night for some reason?

No, no need to discuss it at all.I'm done.

I just wanted to say that.
I can't do it anymore.

Well, I think we've both said
that a couple dozen times before.

Yeah, and, uh, that's part of the reason,

I just can't do it anymore, Anne.
I'm sorry.

Um... This is it.

What's going on?

Lots of things.

Lots of things that couldn't
wait until I got up?

I haven't been to bed yet. Okay.

Grace, I want you to Jacob this weekend.

Okay, you didn't to tell me that over

because I was gonna do it anyway.

I was just waiting and when I felt like it.

Why? Did something happen?

Please do not tell me or sister somewhere.

No, he doesn't, but something happened.

Tom attempted to drive Jacob over
to your condo to talk to you.

I wasn't home. Wait. That Tom drove?

Rachel's new car. And they got lost.

And a police officer onto a vacant lot.

Then I got a call from the police station

00 in the morning to come and get them.

Thankfully, They just gave him a warning.

The police officer knew your dad.

Was it a woman police officer?

Grace, do you understand
what I'm telling you?

Tom drove a car all by himself,

Rachel's car, without telling her,

because Jacob to talk to you.

Honey, they could have beenilled.

They could have been but they weren't.

And he wasn't desperate he
was desperate to drive,

he's always I was just the excuse.

Well, I don't want there to

be any more excuses available
to him or to Jacob,

I want you to talk to Jacob.

And if you're not gonna talk to him,

then I want you to move home.

If you can't act like a grown-up,

then you shouldn't be
living like a grown-up.

But I'm hoping that you can. I need you to.

Grace, I need you to grow up
a little bit this summer.

I won't do it again. I promise.

Just get your things back
into your room, Tom.

What, he's moving back into the house?

He and Jacob are gonna
live in his room together?

I want to let Jacob move in to your room.

And I was thinking that since
at the end of the summer,

that maybe, since you're a senior, then...

You're gonna give me the guest house?

Conditional to you working things out

with Jacob by end of summer.

And then, we'll talk about the rules.

Thank you! I love you! Thank you!!

I promise, I promise, I'll be responsible,

and I'll talk to Jacob and
I'll do whatever you want.

Thank you. Thank you., Mom.

There's nothing else going on, is there?

Um... A few things.

Okay, well start with the car.

I mean, how did Tom even find the keys?

Did he really drive? So,
when's Rachel moving out?

Tom, I just... called me, Tom.

I would have if it was that important.

You know me. I'd do anything for you.

Would you?

Sure, little buddy.

I changed my mind about Rachel.

I know and I am grateful that you did.

I really like that woman. To marry her.

I don't want her to move out.

Well, I don't know, Tom.
Kind of smallght be

for the four or five of us.

I need her to stay here.

What? Without you.

Oh.

Well, I don't think she's
gonna do that, Tom,

and not just because of me.

She's pretty upset with you this morning.

She'll get over it.

I thought you didn't even want a family.

That was before the family got a car.

Huh.

Dad, you can't be serious. Quit
my job at the church nursery?

Yeah. I'll pay you.

You can come right here
after school with John,

and you two can have nursery here,

and then when Robie's here, you
can keep Robie after school,

so I can get out and do my thing.

And when do I get to do my thing?

What's your thing?

Being a mother is my thing and

not getting to be a
teenager is my other thing.

What's your thing?

My thing is... I have to

be able to get out on my own now and then.

Why you and not me?

Because I'm a grown man and
I need to go to the bank,

I need to go to the dry
cleaners, the grocery store...

And over to Kathleen's in
the middle of the night?

Or over to Kathleen's in
the middle of the night.

She's a friend. She needed my help.

And there is nothing
wrong with my going out

with any woman any time of night

provided that Robie is taken care of,

and that's where you come in.

I'm going to quit my job
at the church nursery

so that you can go help your ex-wife?

If that's what I want to do, yeah.

Your mother does anything she wants to do,

I should be able to do what I want to do.

Mom has 24 hour child care where she lives.

That's why she can do what she wants to do.

I cannot be available to you

24/7 whenever you have Robie, I just can't.

But I would pay you just to be available.

I don't want to be available!

And even if I did, I can't provide what

the church nursery can for John.

And just what are they providing

other than a safe place for him
to stay while you're at school?

Are you kidding me? They have a
music program, an art program...

He can dance and scribble at home.

Why don't you just put Robie
in the church nursery?

They're not open 24 hours.

Neither am I. Why are you
suddenly so desperate, huh?

Why, because one time you couldn't
go somewhere you wanted to go?

Please, welcome to my life.

Except Mom will be back in a
week and you're off the hook.

I don't want off the hook,

I want to work out
something with your mother

where I have my son as much as she does.
I just need child care.

If I had child care, I could
keep Robie here whenever I want

and still lead a normal life.

Have you learned nothing from me?

You cannot have a baby
and lead a normal life.

Well, I can for one day.

Robie should be up in 20 minutes.
Bye. Thanks.

Wait! You come back here right...

Right this minute!

Does your father know you were

here last night with
your little sweetie pie?

Uh, didn't mention it to him.

But, um, if you want me to, I will.

I want you to.

Please don't make me say anything.

It was probably not the best
idea, but it was harmless.

And it was kind of fun.

Yeah, I saw. Look, Lover Boy,
it's dangerous, you got it?

It's dangerous to come into

a business late at night
when no one's around.

Suppose someone sees you opening the door,

and they rush in with you
and they rob the joint,

or worse, b*at the crap out
of you and your girlfriend?

Don't do it again. You got that?

Promise.

Yeah, don't do that again.

Having a little fight with the
missus when we dropped by?

No, I was just annoyed with her.

Doesn't want to set a date?

She doesn't have to set a date.

But you'd rather she would, I imagine.

After that big fat proposal

in front of the entire graduating class.

Could be pretty embarrassing
if she called it off.

Of course, it could be more embarrassing

if you set a date and she
was a runaway bride.

Hi.

Hi.

What brings you to the butcher
shop this fine morning?

You're in a good mood.

I'm having a fairly good morning,

following a very good evening.

Wow. You could be a little more,

I don't know, considerate?

Respectful? Appropriately sad
or even appropriately happy?

About? The divorce.

Beg your pardon?

You got the papers saying
it's all official, right?

The divorce papers?

Uh, no.

Oh. Well, I did.

And I just wanted to say face to face

that I am very grateful for
everything you've done for me,

and I appreciate that
we could part amicably,

and goodbye and good luck.

And things are working out
really well for me and Omar.

So...

Bye.

So, I heard. It's official, huh?

Yeah. I don't know what the big deal is,

we knew we were getting divorced.

Hey, at least she married me.

Oh. Hi. Hi. You can't stay.

Bunny has this thing about mixing
personal life and business,

and she's already upset
that we were in here...

But we can talk later, but you can't stay.

And you can't send me text
messages saying you can't see me

because you're seeing your ex-wife.

We talk about this later.

I just want to go by and
talk to Adrian after work.

She just looked upset and she's
not answering her phone, so...

She was my wife and we went
through a lot together,

and I just want to make
sure that she's okay.

She's okay, and even if she's not,

she has someone else. Let
her cry on Omar's shoulder.

We can talk about this later.

Dylan, Dylan, please.

Ben, I think I made it clear how
I feel about your ex-wives.

Hey, everything all right here?

Amy is not my ex-wife.

You were married. Not legally.

Semantics.

I just want to talk to Adrian. No.

Hello.

This is my boss, Bunny.

Bunny, Dylan, Dylan, Bunny.

I was just telling her I
have to get back to work.

I didn't know you were a ginger.

Didn't show up on the security cam.

That's a very old system.

So you were saying last night.

Don't be too long here.

And don't touch that hair.

Same to you, and how do you get that shine?

A little secret I call bacon grease.

So, are we going out?

I need to see Adrian tonight, I'm sorry.

Me, too.

Yeah, and then he just took off.

He's just using the fact

that we do our laundry
here every other week

to take advantage of me.

I'm sure he won't be gone all day,

and if he is, I'll come
over when I get o off work,

but I'm at work right now,

and Bunny has rules about
cell phones, so...

I bet he is gone all day. You know
he's going over to Kathleen's.

No, I don't know that,
and you don't know that.

Yes I know that! How?

Because he wanted to go over
there in the middle of the night

and he couldn't, so first chance he got,

he's over there and I'm
over here babysitting.

And doing our laundry.

I don't want to have to babysit

so he can go see Wife Number One.

And I'm sure my mother wouldn't
want me to babysit for him

so he can go see Wife Number One.

Maybe your mother wouldn't
even care, you don't know.

And even if she does care,

it's not up to you to stop your dad

from seeing anyone he wants to
see including Wife Number One.

And now you've got me calling her that.

I don't want my dad to care
more about Grace's mother

than he cares about my mother!

All right, I'm sorry, I'm sure that must be

really hard on you for some reason.

We can talk about this later.

Can't wait.

Hey, Ames. Saw the car out front.

Laundry day, huh?

Yea. And babysitting day.

Isn't every day babysitting day for you?

Oh, not John, I meant
the screamer in there.

Yeah, Dad left and I'm supposed
to be babysitting Robie.

But hey, now that you're here...

Maybe you can help me fold.

Sorry. I know how lame that sounded.

Don't sweat it. That's what I'm here for.

I'm the babysitter's companion.

It's okay. I totally get it
if people don't trust me,

it comes with the territory.
Besides, you're right,

little Robie is a bit of a howler.

You know, I'm used to crying,
I can handle crying.

But Robie, he's like a police siren.

Yeah, or like that alarm that goes off

when you walk out of a store

and the tag's still on
the shirt you just...

Bought.

Yeah.

I don't really fold very well.

I think I'll just get showered.

You know what? Actually,
there is this one thing

that maybe you could help me with.

I do need your help with something.

I'm not really good at helping,

I mean, it's insulting but
completely understandable

if nobody wants me to babysit,

but I'm not looking to be helpful.

Being helpful gets you in trouble.

So I don't want to help

if you're just trying to make
me feel good or something.

Oh, no, no, no. That's not it, um...

I just need you to tell me...

Do you think that my dad
is in love with Kathleen?

I'm sure he would tell you
before he told any of us.

Has he said anything?

You know, where I come from,

being a snitch is definitely frowned upon.

Well, you're not in prison here.

No, it's more like house arrest.
I gotta get a car. See ya.

Wait! I really... I really want to know.

I mean, my dad deserves to
be happy, don't you think?

And I feel that if he was happy
and if my mom was happy,

then maybe I could be happy.

There's a lot of that going around.

You can't base your happiness

on someone else's happiness,

but think he feels the same way

about you and your mom and Ashley.

If Anne was happy and you were
happy and Ashley was happy,

then he'd be happy too.

Or at least, feel free to be happy anyway.

Well, Ashley is never going to be happy,

and I'm sure my mom feels
the same way I do.

And it wouldn't be the worst thing

if my dad was in love with Kathleen.

No? No.

All right then...

He's in love with his first wife,

always has been, always will be.
That's my opinion.

Ow!

Adrian, you won't believe what happened.

Tell me about it in person, I'm hungry,

I want to go get something to eat.
Where are you?

I'm in my room, packing up my things.

Grace, you're running out of space here,

what else do you need to bring over?

More importantly, why do I need
to bring anything else over?

I don't know, but whatever the
answer to that question is,

you can tell me over food.

I'm getting the guest house!

Mom said that when school starts,

I can move into the guest house. With Tom?

No, not with Tom.

Great. Then, you have all summer to do that.
I need you now.

I can't, Adrian, I have to talk to Jacob.

I sort of promised I would,

I sort of have to in order
to get the guest house.

Last night, he and...

What did you tell her that for?

Oh, I don't know. It's the truth?

You can't just blurt out a truth like that.

She asked.

She didn't really want to know.

Well, I didn't know she
didn't really want to know.

She said she wanted to know,
and maybe she needs to know.

Everyone in this family is very hung up on

everyone else in the family being happy.

Tell me about it.

You know, maybe it'll start
with George and Kathleen.

Okay, Amy asked you about him,

now I'm gonna ask you about Anne.

What's going on with her
? Is she gay, is she not gay?

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

Do you hope she's gay?

I don't care if she's gay or not.

You don't have any feelings towards her?

I like her. I don't "Like her" Like her,

like I want to sleep with her or anything.

I just think she's a nice woman,
she's funny and she's smart.

I've got a lot of respect for her.

She's a successful business woman,

she's raising a kid, she's
taking care of her mother...

She's not my type. And again,
I don't know if she's gay.

Well, do me a favor, if you
can choose who you love,

don't choose Anne. Even if she is gay,

it's just too incestuous.

I want you to be happy
too, but you know what?

I'm going to look out for me and
Amy first, I can't help it.

So don't go there.

Totally understand.

Bunny.

She totally took me by surprise.

Mmm.

Hello.

Hey, do I have some mail there?

Yeah, you do.

Some mail like my divorce papers?

I got mine, too. I was
gonna give you yours,

but you had your first date
with Dylan last night,

so I was waiting until this morning...

But you took off, so... Yeah, they're here.

Dad, those papers are important.

Important, yeah, but they
were expected, so...

So Adrian thought I
insulted her or something

because I didn't call her when I
got them, her feelings are hurt.

Maybe, but I don't think that's it.

It just doesn't feel so
good to remind yourself

that something you wanted
just didn't work out,

but I've got problems of my
own, and you're at work.

I want to go through that

all over again for the next 18 years? No.

Do you want me to talk to Camille

so I can explain evything to her?

No, that's okay, Betty,

I probably shouldn't even
have said anything about it,

but we're friends, right?

We're the best of friends.

Which is why I called you over here.

I wanted to talk to you about dropping by.

I didn't drop by, you called me over here.

To talk about dropping by.

Again? You want me to drop by again today?

No, I want you to... Here's the thing...

If you could, kind of just...

You know what, never mind.

Well, I better be going so I can get back.

Yeah. And, uh, thanks for
listening, I feel a lot better.

Look, I'll call you once in a while.

We'll talk or have lunch,
or do something...

If you're not too busy
with your school work.

Anytime.

Not to worry, not to worry,

I was going to take it by your hotel.

You mentioned where you and
your daughter were staying.

So, I was going to come by on my way home.

You speak English?

Of course I speak English.

So, you understood everything

my daughter and I were talking about?

I didn't know at what point to stop you,

and I thought you were
going to be on your way

and I would never see you
again, but fate intervened.

Would you like to go for a cup
of coffee, maybe a drink?

Oh. Um... No, thank you.

I really should get back to my daughter.

Perhaps some other time.

Yeah. Perhaps.

Or perhaps not.

So I heard.

I'm not in a hurry.

Well, you kind of seem to be in a hurry.

Oh, sorry.

Thanks for coming over.

You want to go to a movie?

No, not really, I'll
just talk to you later.

You'll just talk to me later?

I didn't just come over here

to have sex with you
and talk to you later.

Let's spend some time together,

let's go do something, let's
get out of this condo,

and go to the beach, or drive
up the coast, or something.

Nah, I don't really feel like it.

I'm just still, you know,
sad about the divorce.

Well, you weren't too sad
to have sex with me.

I thought it would make me feel happier,

but it actually made me
feel kind of lonely.

Look, no offense, I'm just not
in a good place right now.

You seemed like you were in a
good place 15 minutes ago.

Yeah, but now I just want
to spend some time alone.

You called me because Grace wasn't home,

and you didn't want to be alone.

After we just did what we did,
you want to be alone now?

Okay, so last night you wanted
me to be more vulnerable,

and today you don't want me
to be vulnerable at all.

I'd hardly call kicking
my butt out of here

after using me to have sex vulnerable.

I wasn't using you to have sex,

I was using sex to make me
feel better and it didn't.

Well, that's not what you use sex for.

I mean it's fun and all that,

but I'd hope that you do that with me

because you care something about me.

Look, I'm not in the mood to
argue with you, all right?

I do, Omar, I do care about you,

I told Ben that this morning.

This morning when?

When?

When I went down to the butcher shop.

I just wanted this whole
marriage thing to feel final,

and I wanted to say goodbye face to face.

Not marriage, divorce. It was a divorce.

And you know what, Adrian,

this is just not going to work.

What?

Adrian?

Yeah?

Hi, mind if I come in?

Is everything okay?

You must be Omar. I'm Dylan,
Ben's new girlfriend.

Grace? Yeah?

I didn't know if you were still here.

I just wanted to bring my
suitcase over from Tom's room.

Big move, all the way across the hall.

You can bring it over.

You can come in, if you want.

Thanks.

I wonder if you'd mind if I paint.

Paint my room?

Yeah.

Okay, I guess I don't mind
if you paint my room,

it's just that my dad painted
this room lavender for me.

He painted my room too,

and he put up bookshelves on the walls.

I didn't want bookshelves. I
didn't really want the clutter.

Plus, when I read, it just stays up here.

So, I don't need to show off
with books or anything.

We used to read a book
together every summer.

Yeah, we used to read
together too, all the time.

Yeah, so did we.

You said that. He liked
to hunt, big game.

We went quite a few times.
He was a very good sh*t.

We used to go to the zoo
together all the time,

we were known at the zoo.

By the zookeepers or the animals?

Both.

We went to London once, the two
of us, on his way back home.

You did not. No, we did.

My mother has family in London.

Did the two of you ever travel
together, go on vacations?

No, he didn't have time for vacation

because he was always

volunteering his time to
serve people in need.

Or so we thought.

Okay, well, I'm happy we at
least have a dialogue going.

This isn't a dialogue,

this is a contest to see
who Dad loved the most.

If that's the contest, then you win.

He married your mother and he
spent most of his life with you.

Look, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

You never thought about that?

No.

I love your continent.

I don't want to move back into my old room.
That stinks.

Then you shouldn't have taken
the keys to Rachel's car

and gone joy riding in the
middle of the night with Jacob.

You could have k*lled
yourself and your brother,

and whatever innocent person
or people you crashed into.

I didn't crash! I'm a very good driver.

No doubt you got the skill, Tom,
but it takes more than that.

It takes a certain
maturity you don't have,

and I say that because you took
the car without permission

and you broke the law.

It was a very immature,
dangerous thing to do.

I know, but...

No buts about it, my friend.

You cannot drive without a license,

and if you're gonna do the crime,
be prepared to do the time.

In your old room, in your house,

with your mother right down the hall,

because that's where she wants you,

so that's how it's gonna be.

I don't want to live here anymore.

Where do you want to live?

In the guest house with Rachel.

Rachel's moving, and you really

don't want to live in
the guest house alone,

besides it's Grace's turn.

Rachel is not moving. I changed my mind.

Uh, Rachel is moving, I talked
to her, I talked to Milton,

she's moving.

And she's moving a little
sooner than she would have

because she feels responsible
for what happened.

Then I'm moving!

Hi, George. Hey.

I didn't know you were here.

Yes, you did. You told him to talk to me.

Yes, I did ask George to talk to you,

I just didn't know he was here
talking to you right now.

I really hate that this happened.

I'm so upset with him, George.

He knows he's not supposed to drive a car.

Eh, it's all right, nobody got hurt.

Somebody could have gotten hurt.

Could've, should've, would've,

didn't happen, got anything to eat?

There's always something
to eat here, George.

There's yogurt, there's some
sliced turkey, there's fruit.

Man stuff. Beef jerky, chips, beer?

I notice that you got a haircut.

Did I?


Well, thanks for noticing.

And did you drop by the bank
before you got the haircut?

I did.

Then didn't you go by the
market after the haircut?

You always did on Saturdays
when we were married.

Bank, haircut...

No, dry cleaner, and then the market.

I have changed a little bit, you know.

Have you?

Yeah. For one thing, I've learned
to pick up my dirty socks.

Here's your son.

Have a good Saturday. Come on. Let's go.

Amy just wanted you to see

I'm kind of tied up here
for the next 18 years.

Oh, she just doesn't want

you to love anyone other than her mother.

I totally get it.

But, George, I'm kind of tied up too,

and you know, not for the

next 18 years but for the rest of my life.

I mean, Tom's always going to
need me to take care of him.

Maybe, maybe not, you never know.

Well, he's always gonna need someone.

Aren't we all?

I guess. He's fine,

and you don't have to figure
it all out this weekend,

you've just got all this

negative stuff rolling around in your head

because you've finally decided
to cut that guy loose.

No, really, it's not just that.

I mean, it's great that Tom has a job,

and that he can get around on the bus,

but he needs me.

And I don't know what's

gonna happen to him if
something happens to me,

and, of course, eventually
something's gonna happen to me.

Stop worrying about Tom. Tom has
a trust fund, a job, friends,

he's going to be fine, I'm
more worried about Ashley.

She dropped out of high
school and got a GED,

and now she's insisting on going
to some college in Florida

that lets in people with GEDs.

She doesn't have any money,
doesn't like to work at anything,

she doesn't like people...

I don't know what's gonna happen to her.

And Amy, she's a senior in high school

with a two-year-old, engaged to be married

to the first guy she ever had sex with.

What are the chances of that working out?

Uh, George, you were the first
guy I ever had sex with.

Oops, forgot about that. Not
about us having sex, but that.

Sex with you was always fun,
George, even the first time.

Really? Really.

You wouldn't want to...

Not right now, not any time
in the next few months,

not until I'm divorced,

and we see if we're really interested

in a relationship with each other.

I'm interested.

Well, I guess this is the last one.

I guess I'll see you on Monday.

I quit.

Don't quit, Tom, I need you.
The company needs you.

Look, she was gonna move in
a couple of weeks anyway.

The apartment's all ready.

This is a big deal to Rachel,

living on her own in a decent place

that she's providing for her children.

And she couldn't have done
that without you, Tom.

You helped her get back on her feet.

Plus, you practically
introduced the two of us,

and we're forever going to
be indebted to you for that.

You know that?

All right, you can quit if you want,

but you have to come back.

I'm just gonna get in
trouble without you.

You should at least go out and
say goodbye to the children.

I know that you'll see them again,

and Rachel wants to see you and
wants you to see them again,

but tonight, Tom, you should go out there

and you should say goodbye
or goodnight or something.

It's hard for all of us
to get used to changes,

especially when it comes to people.

Take your time.

Want me to get that?

No, I'll get it.

Come in!

Hello.

Hello.

I take it you're Omar.

Yeah, and I guess you must be Ben.

I must be. So... What's going on?

We're just hanging out,
waiting for you to drop by.

I told you I was gonna drop by,

but I didn't know there

were going to be other people here, but...

But I didn't either.

If Adrian is going to be
a part of your life,

then I wanted to get to know Adrian.

And now that you've gotten
to know me a little better,

you still want to bea part of it?

I know I wouldn't.

Well, again. If you're going
to be a part of Ben's life.

I am Ben's girlfriend.

Yes, you are.

And I am his ex-wife.

Ex. Ex-wife.

See, I told you she didn't need you.

Look at this guy.

Omar, you are so handsome, and smart,

and more than capable of handling Adrian

crying on your big, broad shoulders.

She doesn't cry.

I don't cry.

Oh, come on, you sometimes cry.

And I know I feel like crying right now.
There's no food?

I wasn't planning on entertaining.

I'll go get us something to eat.

We can get delivery.

No, I want to get out. I'll go.

Dylan, you stay here.

Really? Because...

Because if you leave, he might
not come back with the food.

He might not. See you, sweetie.

Any requests?

You know what I like.
You know what I like.

Oh, geez.

Just go over there and babysit,
and let the man get out.

What makes you think
he's not out right now?

Uh, you dumped a baby in

his arms in the middle of the afternoon

at someone else's house?

He deserved it, he dumped
him in my arms first.

He and Wife Number One are disgusting!

He's just trying to have sex with her!

Who wouldn't?

I wouldn't, not me, but who else wouldn't?

She's a really good looking woman,

and she has a really great voice, and...

Shut up! What?

It doesn't take anything away

from your mom for Grace's
mom to be attractive.

Your mom's attractive too.

Say something about my mother's voice.

She's got a great voice. And she can sing.

And hey, my mom thinks
she's smart and attractive,

and a whole bunch of other good things.

Ugh! I don't want your mother
to find my mother smart

and attractive, and a
bunch of other things.

I don't either, I told her I don't.

Your mom is off limits to my mom.

Oh, but my dad isn't off
limits to Grace's mom?

He's just trying to sleep with her.

Amy, maybe your dad is
just comfortable with her

because they know each other so well,

they're so familiar with each other.

It might not be just about the
sex, maybe it's about comfort.

Oh, please. It's always
just about the sex.

Are you with me just for the sex?

Would you be with me if
we weren't having sex?

I was with you for a long
time without having sex.

And I thought we had this
all settled last night,

I thought you were okay

with your dad doing
whatever makes him happy.

Where'd you get that?

Subtext?

I'm starving, can we just
get something to eat?

No, we can't. John just went to bed.

But if you tell me what you want,

I'll go get us something to eat.

I don't know, okay? Okay.

I'll go. I want to get out of here anyway.

I wish my mother was here, so
I'd have someone to talk to.

You never talk to your mother.

Yeah. I'm gonna talk to
her when she gets home.

This is the longest summer of my life.

And I don't mean that in a good way.

I heard that.

Tom, come on, let's go for a ride.

Jacob wants to see where Dad was buried.

He doesn't know where Dad was buried.

I'd really like to see
where he was buried.

He wasn't buried.

Tom! Let's not tell him
anything else, come on.

No.

All right, well, if you don't want to go,

then I guess we'll just go without you.

Go.

Come on. Come on.

No.

You always said Dad
haunted this guest house.

If you want to stay out here,

we'll let you stay out here.

Again?

I need to go somewhere. I
don't need to go somewhere.

I want to go somewhere, I want
to go back over to Kathleen's.

George...

I need you to hang out in
my room while I'm gone.

I need you to listen for Robie.

If he cries, go pick him up and call me,

I'll come home immediately. Promise.

But I'm sure he'll be fine,
you'll both be fine.

Oh no, no, George, you
only have another week.

You'll be fine. I trust you.

Well, don't trust me, that's a
heavy burden for a gal like me.

Too bad. You're up to it.
You've changed your life.

You never harmed Ricky, you're
sober, you've got a job.

I trust you. Get in there.

I don't know, George,

I don't know if I can,
it's too much pressure.

Get in there.

Thank you.

I won't let you down.

I know you won't.

Hi. Hi.

Can I get a large cheese pizza,

half meat lovers special please, to go?

You got it, doll. Just wait
over there about 15 minutes.

Thanks.

Oh. Hi. Two nights in a row.

Yeah. But at least this is
neutral territory, huh?

Yeah.

Sorry about last night, I
wouldn't have dropped by

if I had known you and Ricky
were having an argument.

Oh, we weren't having an argument.

No?

No. We weren't having an argument,

we were having a relationship.

You know how it is.

I know how it is.

So, what are you doing here?
Where's Dylan?

Dylan is hanging out with Adrian.

What?

Adrian and Omar. I'm picking
up pizza for the four of us.

The divorce is official, so
now we're double dating.

Wow.

Hey, we were double dating
with you and Ricky last night.

That was not a date.

Speaking of dates, how's that
coming, the wedding date?

Oh, I don't know, I don't
want to set a date.

I mean, I'm going to marry Ricky, I am,

it's just... Things are too
crazy right now with my family.

Well, that won't change.

Yeah, I just don't want
to rush into anything.

Like I did?

Are you talking about with
us or you and Adrian?

Both. Neither.

No, both. Plus Dylan.

Make it three. What is wrong with me?

You are a romantic.

I was a nerd a few years ago.

So was I.

Hey, Slim, your pizza's ready!

I could wait with you, if you want.

Hey, Tom, heard you're moving.

Jack! Come on in.

Don't just come in, move in.

I can't, Tom, it was a
good time but I can't.

I got my dad and mom to
move back into town

just so I can live with them, so...

I can't.

How about I move over there?

Your mom wants you in the house.

You drove the car?

I'm just glad you didn't get hurt.

And I'm glad you didn't hurt anyone.

Hey, you're gonna love living
in your old room again.

That's a great room. I miss it.

You can have it.

No, really, I'm back in my old room again,

and it's like being with an old friend.

You remember when you hit
me with that football?

Life is like that. It
hits you where it hurts,

but a few ice packs later,

you get over it and you get up again.

That was a good throw.

Yeah.

Okay, this is totally cool.

Yeah, my dad used to take me
to the club all the time.

We belonged to a club, too.

We belonged to two clubs.

See, ours was much bigger than this,

and giraffes roamed the fairways.

Is that true? No.

I was just trying to
compete with you again.

Although I'm not sure that I can
top, "I love your continent."

Yeah, well, I just didn't
really know what else to say.

So, how did my dad meet your mom?

Your mom thinks he met her

nine months before I was born,

so why don't we just leave it at that.

Is that a lie?

It's more an assumption.

She assumed that and
we didn't correct her.

My father, I'm sorry...

Our father, he met my mom

when they were in med school.

But my father was already a
doctor when he met my mother.

That's what I'm saying.

What?

He knew my mother first.

They talked about getting married,

they didn't get married, she
went back home to South Africa.

And years later, they ran
into each other again.

I don't know if that makes
this better or worse.

Or just more complicated.

Thanks for telling me.

Sure. Now, you tell me
something that I didn't know.

Well, it's gonna be hard to top that, but

I think my mother is
interested in her ex-husband.

Yeah, I knew that. I saw the look.

I don't really like him that much,

but I feel bad for my mom, you know?

After everything that
happened with my dad,

and now, she and Jeff...

I just think she and Jeff made a mistake,

you know? It was too soon.

What's your mother like?

What's my mom like? She's amazing.

But you know who she is.

I don't know who she is. What
do you mean, I know who she is?

You know who Oprah is, don't you?

The lady who started all
the schools in Africa?

Your mom is Oprah?

My father slept with Oprah Winfrey?

I'm just joking.

Oprah never went to med school.

I know.

I'm an idiot.

Runs in the family.
