08x16 - The Anniversary

[bunniefuu]

PETER: If the school
library has the books I need,

I should be able to finish
this project by next week,

otherwise, my teacher
said I could get an extension

and turn it in late.

If I can get all the materials,

I think this project is
going to be really good.

So what do you think?

Well, I think,

I want your mom to go
out with me tomorrow night.

Were you listening
to anything I just said?

Honestly, no.

What do you think my
chances are with your mom?

Why tomorrow night?

Because.

Because...?

Because I said so.

Now are you going
to help me or not?

Help you?

Put in a good word
for me with your mom.

I'll help you.

On one condition.

Name it.

You have to promise
not to hurt her again.

Promise.

I won't hurt her.

Okay, then I'll do what I can.

But don't expect miracles, okay?

Boy, you sure are
a confidence builder.

Nope, just a realist.

(chuckles)

(phone ringing)

Hello.

Where are you?

Ruthie, I told you

my cell phone is
for emergencies.

What's today?

Friday. Yeah, and
that makes tomorrow...

Saturday?

Just look at a calendar.

I can't. Why?

Because I'm in
the back of a cab,

heading to the airport,

on my way to see you to
celebrate a very important day.

You remembered?

How could I forget?

You're really coming home?

Yeah, but don't
tell anybody, okay?

Not up for the well-meaning
but annoying questions

about your life,
school and Sarah?

(chuckles)

I'm going to stay with
Rabbi and Mrs. Glass.

I'll lay low, and then I'll
meet you tomorrow at : ,

around the corner
from the house.

Can you get out of the house
without anyone knowing?

Don't make me laugh.

Then I'll meet you tomorrow.

I can't wait.

Me, too.

(sizzling)

Did Dad ever make you pancakes?

No, no, your father
never made me anything

when we were married.

He makes good pancakes.

He does?

Yeah, the last time I
spent the night with him,

he made these incredible
chocolate chip pancakes.

They were good.

He's like that guy
on TV... Emeril.

He even goes "Bam!"

"Bam" I can picture,

but pancakes, no.

Anyway, when Vic stays
in town, he stays in a motel.

He's making you
pancakes in a motel?!

There's a little kitchen.

And he makes you
pancakes in this little kitchen?

Yeah.

So, you want to go to
Home Depot with me today?

I need to go buy some
more wood and nails

for the shelves in the garage.

You know who's good
at making shelves?

Let me guess... your father?

Yeah. No.

Vic doesn't build things.

He can break things, but...

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Do you like Dad?

Sometimes.

Look, I'm...

I'm trying to like your father,

but, uh, it's slow process.

Well, can you speed it up? Why?

Because this afternoon

he's going to ask you
out to dinner tonight,

and if you say no, I
think it'll break his heart.

Hey.

Where's Martin?

I called him this morning

and asked him if he wanted
to go to an early movie.

He said he was spending
the day with you guys.

I haven't talked to him.

Nah, me neither.

What about tonight?

What's tonight?

You're not going
to hang out with him

and do guy stuff?

I got a date.

Yeah, me, too.

Want to play catch? Sure.

So you want to watch a
movie or something tonight?

I can't. I have plans.

Here, guys.

Don't you want to know
what my plans are?

Only if you want to tell me.

I want to, but I can't.

(Happy whimpering)

Something wrong?

My dad is going to ask
out my mom on a date.

Really?

Well, does your
mom like your dad?

Well, you know what I mean.

My dad likes my mom, but
I'm not sure how my mom feels.

Well, how do you feel?

Six months ago, I
would've laughed at the idea

of my mom and dad
getting back together again,

but it's been great
having my dad around,

and it might be even
better having him around

on a more permanent basis.

(indistinct radio communication)

Kinkirk, give her a break.

She was going in a .

She's your wife.

I'm just giving her a warning.

Sorry, Luce.

Not as sorry as
Kevin's gonna be.

I can't bend the
rules; I took an oath.

And where were you going
in such hurry, anyways?

Not that it's any of
your business, Officer,

but there's an
emergency at home.

I saw Matt.

He's back in town.

I didn't know he was coming,

and I know Mom and Dad
didn't know he was coming.

And the last time he came home,

he was dropping out of medical
school and he wanted a divorce.

That is not an emergency.

And whatever's going on
with Matt, whatever brought him

back to town, you
should stay out of it.

If he wanted you and
your family to know,

he would have told
you he was here.

Follow me.

Reverend Camden? Hello?

Paris?

Are you okay? Uh...

I need to talk to
Reverend Camden.

He's at home.

Can I help?

It might not be best to discuss

this particular
problem with you.

You can discuss
anything with me, all right?

We're friends and, I am
your associate pastor.

Well, it's about Vic.

Peter told me that he wants

to ask me out to dinner tonight.

Hmm...

He wants to date me.

I'm really upset.

Hmm...

Okay, can you stop nodding

and say something?

You're upset because Vic
wants to ask you out on a date?

Yes, and that he's
using Peter to get to me.

Maybe not.

Excuse me?

Well, maybe he
asked Peter to find out

whether or not
Peter would be upset

if he asked you out on a date.

I mean, Vic is...
well, he's-he's Vic,

but if you're gonna let
him back into your lives,

which you have...

I have not.

Vic is here almost
every weekend.

He's back.

And that's a good
thing, probably,

especially for... for Peter.

But if you are gonna let him
back into you and Peter's lives,

then you owe it to him to
take him for who he is now,

not what he was in the past.

You have to give him a break.

Since when did you join the
George Vickery Fan Club?

Trust me, I'm not a fan.

This isn't easy for me,

but I'm your friend

and I care about you,

and as a friend, I'm
just trying to tell you

what I think you need to hear.

It's time to figure out
how you feel about Vic,

'cause from the sound of things,

he's about to tell you
how he feels about you.

Matt's back.

Back where?

Back in Glenoak.

Did you know?

Did you?

No.

This can't be good, right? No.

Oh.

I know... this is bad.

There could be a
reasonable explanation

as to why he's back
and he didn't tell you.

You really shouldn't
jump to conclusions.

VIC: Paris loves Vic.

And why shouldn't she?

(phone ringing)

Hello.

Vic.

The kid ratted
me out, didn't he?

How did you...?

Okay, look, I don't
appreciate you're using Peter

to get me to go with you.

No, no, I let Peter think
that's what I was doing,

but really I just wanted to see

how he felt about
my asking you out,

and I figured if he
wasn't comfortable

with us going out, I'd drop it.

That's what Chandler said.

You're talking about
me to Chandler?

What, you're talking
about me to Peter.

Touché.

Anyway, what about me, Vic?

What if I'm not comfortable
with your asking me out?

I mean, don't my feelings count?

It's just dinner, Paris.

You're saying after all the time

I've been spending
with you and Peter,

you're not comfortable
having a meal with me?

No.

Well, I, I... I don't know.

What are you up to?

I'm not up to anything.

So this is just about me
having a meal with you?

Yes, of course.

Look, I'll let you pay, if
it makes you feel better.

Paris?

Okay, okay, I'll go with you,

but we'll go Dutch.

Great. I'll pick you up at : .

It's a date.

No, it's not a
date, it's dinner,

but... yeah, okay, I'm... I'm
gonna hang up now. Bye.

(phone beeps off)

Mm...

Maybe Matt's here because...

(sighs) Because...?

Because he dropped out

of medical school
and got a divorce?

No, I don't think he'd
drop out of medical school.

I talked to him last week.

He sounded happy about school.

Stressed, but happy.

Do you think he and
Sarah got a divorce?

I think he's still married,

but considering
dropping out of school,

maybe to save his marriage.

When I talked to Matt last week,

he said he was going
to get Sarah back

no matter what it took,

and I think that means

he's willing to
drop out of school

in order to save his marriage.

Well, I think he's
divorced and a dropout

and that he's moving back home,

but he can't bring
himself to tell us yet.

We could just call him and
ask him why he's back in town.

Yeah, but what if
we're wrong, you know?

And-And-And... And he's
here for something else?

And our talking to him
pushes him over the edge

and-and closer to
divorcing and dropping out?

I mean, i-if he's on the fence,

I don't think any of us wants
to be the one to push him off.

Well, I hope you're not
suggesting we do nothing.

What other choice do we have?

Look, let's just forget we
even know Matt is in town.

If he wants us to
know why he's here,

he'll come home
and he'll tell us.

And let's not tell
anyone else about this.

There's need to worry
the rest of the family.

Yeah.

Something wrong?

Um... Kevin pulled me
over for speeding, Yeah.

And I'm upset, and
Mom and Dad are...

Also... upset.

But not with Kevin, uh...

We're upset at Lucy...

for speeding.

That's very, very careless.

Can I go to a movie tonight?

Sure.

Thanks.

Oh, and... you do know

that you three are the
worst liars in the world, right?

PETER: Thanks for
giving Dad a chance.

PARIS: Peter...
it's, it's important

you don't have too
many expectations

about your dad and me.

This is just a friendly dinner.

I mean, I'm willing
to give Vic a chance,

but I can't do that if I think you're
expecting to wake up tomorrow morning

and have Mom and
Dad in the same house.

'cause it may never happen.

But it could happen.

(sighing)

Well, if it does happen,

and I'm not saying
that it ever will,

it would be a long
time from now.

How about some ice cream?

Yeah, sure.

I'll be right back.

(sighs)

VENDOR: Here you go.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Let's just go.

Okay.

Start talking.

About?

About why you lied to me.

I didn't lie.

I ran into Mac and Ed.

You didn't meet
them this morning,

and you're not meeting
them tonight for "guy stuff."

Who are you meeting tonight,
and where have you been today?

I can't tell you.

If you've found some other girl,

you should just tell me.

I can't talk about what I
did this morning, okay?

Not okay.

What am I supposed
to do, Martin?

Trust me.

You're supposed to trust me.

(voicemail beeps)

Hello?

Rabbi Glass, this
is Lucy Camden.

I need to talk to you at
your earliest convenience.

It's about Matt.

Please call me back.

(phone beeps off)

(voicemail beeps)

Rosina, hi, it's Eric,

and... we need to
talk, uh, about Matt.

He's back in town,
and I don't know why.

I'm worried that... Well,
I mean, not worried,

but, uh, I'm concerned...

Well, I'm not concerned,
I'm... Ju-Just call me, okay?

Not at home, uh,
at th-the church,

'cause I... I don't want
anyone to know I've called you.

And please don't tell
Richard about any of this.

You know how emotional he is.

I, I, I don't want to upset him.

ERIC (over machine): Bye.

(click, beep)

What are we gonna do?

Hide.

(scoffs) Seriously.

I am being serious.

I feel like we're
harboring a fugitive.

No, just a son-in-law

who doesn't want to
answer a lot of questions

from a, you know, a well-meaning
but very... nosy... family.

Ai-yi-yi.

Mm!

(sighs)

Am I emotional?

(scoffs)

What's with the look?

(laughing)

What?

What, you think I'm emotional?

Rosina, come back here!

(phone ringing)

E.R.

Hi, my name is Annie Camden,

and I need to speak with
whomever is in charge there.

That would be me.

You look really nervous.

Actually, you look like
you're gonna throw up.

I don't throw up on
dates... anymore.

You should relax;
it's just dinner.

At least to Mom
that's what it is.

What's it to you?

Not just dinner, is it?

Shh...

Dad...

Oh, thank you so much
for coming over tonight.

Mm! I was feeling so
nervous about doing this,

and I needed to talk to someone,

and I didn't know
who else to call.

Well?

Chandler.

Uh, you look amazing.

Then I have to change.

Oh, I can't look amazing.

I don't want to give
Vic the wrong idea,

and I think he already
has the wrong idea.

You're not changing; that's
the third outfit you've had on.

Just face the fact if you
were wearing a sack,

you'd look fantastic.

Is this awkward?

You mean me, your ex-boyfriend,

helping you, my ex-girlfriend,

getting ready for a date
with your ex-husband?

No.

(nervous chuckle)

It'll be fun.

It's dinner, just remember that.

It's a meal. (sighs)

Don't make it into
something that it's not.

Now, that was a little awkward.

I'm sorry.

I'm kidding; I was trying
to lighten your mood a little.

(chortles): Hoo, hoo, hoo.

Speaking of lightening the mood,

do you want to hear
something funny?

Mm.

I saw Vic looking at
engagement rings today, so...

for Vic, I guess, dinner
tonight isn't about dinner.

Now, that's not funny.

I know.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

(sighs)

Please don't tell me that
the "Lord of the Cloth"

over there is going
to be our chaperone.

I was helping Paris get ready.

You like to do that?

Help ex-girlfriends
get ready for dates?

Not really, but Paris asked me.

And we're going out for pizza.

Yeah.

Tell her she looks nice.

No help from the peanut gallery.

Paris...

you look nice.

Yeah, let's just get going.

Roses!

Yellow roses.

They mean friendship.

At least that's what the idiot
who sold them to me said.

(clears throat)

Mm... sorry.

Don't worry, Dad, I'll
have her home by curfew.

All right, come on.

I'm going out now.

Well, have a good
time. RUTHIE: I will.

Paris is taking her and
Peter to the movies, right?

That's what she
said earlier, yeah.

Okay.

I have a confession to make.

I called Rabbi Glass about Matt.

I thought he might
know what was going on.

I thought we said we
were going to leave it alone.

He wasn't home, and he
hasn't called me back yet,

so I still know nothing.

(clicks tongue)

I called Rosina.

She wasn't home either,
and she didn't call me back.

The Glasses are hiding
something from us.

(sighs)

Oh, all right, so I
called Matt's hospital,

and they wouldn't give out
any information about a student,

not even to mothers.

(sighs)

You know what we should do?

Drop it. Combine forces.

I like the way you think.

Let's go over there and find out

why Richard and Rosina
aren't returning calls.

No, this is wrong.

We should leave it alone.

Said the woman who
called the hospital.

What's for dinner?

I'm going out.

We're going out?

No, I'm going out with my dad.

Matt?

Lucy.

Kevin.

I'll drive.

Shall we?

What are you doing?

Coming to get you.

And you didn't use the
front door because...?

Because if you
come with me tonight,

you're not going to
make it home by curfew.

You want me to come with you?

Uh, I just shimmied up
the side of your house.

Yes, I want you to come.

Where are we going?

No questions.

Those are the rules.

If you come with me
tonight, no questions.

Can you live with that?

Well, are you coming with me?

Sir, would you like
to see a wine list?

I would because
I'm an alcoholic.

How about a soda, sir?

How about you back off and
give us some room, buddy, hmm?

(sighs)

Will you do me a favor?

Depends.

For the next few
hours, can you forget

about how much you think you
don't want to be here with me

and just allow yourself
to have a good time?

(sighs)

Okay.

It's going to be fine, Paris.

Ah... just dinner.

Yeah... sure, it's just dinner.

MATT: So how were
you able to get away

without Mom and
Dad being suspicious?

They're preoccupied.

Lucy saw you today, and
she told Mom and Dad,

and now the three
of them are going nuts

trying to figure out
why you're back in town.

Mom thinks you dropped
out of medical school,

Dad thinks you and
Sarah got divorced,

and Lucy thinks you're divorced

and you dropped out of school.

They've been calling Rabbi
Glass and Mrs. Glass all day.

You know, I told the
Glasses I'd be no trouble.

They know our family.

They had to expect a
certain amount of trouble.

I just wanted to
slip in and slip out

without having to answer
a bunch of questions.

Was that too much to hope for?

With our family?

Absolutely.

Right.

Sorry. About?

Well, I mean, if you weren't
here to celebrate with me...

I wouldn't have passed
up celebrating with you.

So forget about them.

What do you want to do?

Well, we have to
go to the movies.

That way I didn't have
to lie to Mom and Dad

about where I was going tonight.

Dinner and a movie it is.

I really have missed you.

(doorbell ringing)

Oh, you're home.

Rosina, hi.

Don't you want to invite us in?

Nah, I don't...

Okay, enough with the chitchat.

We know Matt's in town.

And Matt has no money,

so he either has to
stay with you or us.

And he's not staying with us.

We just want to
know why he's here,

you know, if he's
in any trouble,

if he and Sarah are
still in any trouble.

School?

Marriage?

Both?

Look, you know, all
I can offer you two is

some kugel and coffee.

I mean, if it's information
you're looking for,

I suggest that you talk to Matt.

Fine, we'll wait
and talk to Matt.

I do think you should wait.

I think we should all wait...

for Matt and
Sarah to talk to us.

You know, it's their
life, their business.

And medical school?

No, no, it's his life
and his business.

So, uh, what kind of
kugel do you have?

You know kugel?

Huh?

You're a kugel connoisseur?

Oh, well, then, if not,

then just come in and
eat what we serve you.

Come on.

Try not to hog it.

Where are we going?

No questions, remember?

Right, no questions.

Why did you invite me
to come with you tonight?

Or is that a question
you can't answer?

I can answer that one.

I asked you to
come with me tonight

because I want to
share something with you

that I've never shared
with anyone else.

I don't know, you carry
them for nine months,

you know, you feed them,
you teach them to walk and talk,

how to ride a bike, you
nurse their broken bones,

their broken hearts,
you send them to school,

and then they show
up back in town

and they don't even
bother to come and see you.

Matt's a good kid and he's
going to be a good doctor.

He cares, and that's
more than I can say

about most of the ones
who come through here.

So you don't think Matt's
dropped out of school?

If he dropped out of school,
it'd be all over the hospital.

What about Sarah?

Mm, Sarah Glass?

Sarah Camden, Matt's wife.

Sarah and Matt are married?

You didn't know?
No, nobody knows.

You don't think that no
one knows they're married

because they're divorced?

I think that you and your
husband raised a great kid

and that should give you

all the peace of
mind that you need.

Ah, yeah.

Thanks for coming home.

I hate to ask, but why aren't
you celebrating with Sarah?

I know that...

today is Sarah's and
my real anniversary,

but you're a, a big
part of this day, too,

first, because only three
of us know about today,

and secondly,
when I needed you...

When Sarah and I needed
you to keep our secret, you did,

and it wasn't easy, but
you didn't let us down.

Sarah knows I'm here.

You're not going to tell me

how things are going
with Sarah, are you?

I don't want to ask you to
keep any more secrets for me.

Well, I just hope
you guys don't...

well, I hope you stay together.

So do I.

You know, it's getting late.

You should probably
take me home.

Are you going to come in
and say hello to everyone?

I'm just going to slip back out
of town and get back to school.

That means you're
still in medical school.

(laughs)

Yeah.

It's a park.

That's what you
wanted to share with me,

what you've never
shared with anyone else?

Cecilia.

Yes?

Just...

take my hand.

This is all we got out
of Richard and Rosina.

You know, with Matt,

I really think it's time
to let go and let God...

Hey, we came for cake.

We have kugel.

No cake?

Should we have called first?

Hey, Peter, where's
Ruthie? I don't know.

You're supposed to be
at the movies with her.

No, she had plans for tonight.

What plans?

I didn't ask her.

She said it was personal.

If she had wanted me to
know, she would have told me.

Oh, what does he know? He's .

Where have you been?

Movies.

Good night.

It means a lot to me,
you giving me a chance.

And not just with dinner.

You've been really
great about letting me

back into Peter's
life and yours.

So... thanks for
coming out tonight

and thanks for
letting me come back.

(glasses clink)

You okay? No.

What's wrong? You.

What? And me and this dinner.

I don't understand.

Today, when I was out
with Peter, I saw you.

Coffee? Cappuccino?

Would you like

to see our dessert menu?

Um...

Paris...

I can't marry you, Vic.

Who asked you?

You... you're going to tonight.

That's what this
dinner is for, right?

Wrong.

I saw you at the jewelry store

looking at rings...
Engagement rings.

Look, I am, I'm so glad

that you've been able
to reconnect with Peter,

and it is so important for us
all to have a good relationship.

But marriage?

I'm not ready for that

and I mean, I don't have
those kind of feelings for you,

even if I was ready,
so I can't marry you.

Are you finished?

(sighs)

I don't won't to marry you.

Well, the jewelry store.

I was looking for a
gift to say thank you,

but you know, everything
was too expensive.

But Peter said...

It doesn't matter
what Peter says.

I don't want to marry you.

So what's this dinner about?

Three years ago,
I stopped drinking.

Yeah.

And I stopped drinking
because of you and Peter,

'cause I wanted to have a
relationship with you and Peter,

and I knew I couldn't do
that unless I was sober.

So that's why I wanted
you to come out tonight...

To celebrate, to say thank you.

Thank you for being the light
at the end of a very long tunnel.

I'm an idiot.

(laughs)

You'll get no argument from me.

Okay.

Well, what, what do you
say I go to the bathroom,

wash the egg off my face,
and then we order dessert?

Hey, Paris...

don't worry.

I know what it's like to
have egg on your face.

I've had quite a bit
of it through the years.

WAITRESS: Sir, will
there be anything else?

No, nothing else.

I'll get your check.

(box snaps shut)

Didn't you just have dinner?

I was too nervous
to eat at dinner.

I'm starved.

Nervous about what?

It's silly.

What's silly?

I saw your father in
a jewelry store today.

Yeah?

Mm! So I thought
he was gonna ask me

to marry him again
tonight, at dinner,

so I couldn't eat.

Anyway, turns out it was
just a big misunderstanding.

What?

It wasn't just a big
misunderstanding.

He told me he still loves you.

Actually, he told me he
never stopped loving you.

Which why it was okay with me

that he was going to
ask you to marry him.

How-How do you know this?

He told me when
you were upstairs

trying on clothes with Chandler.

Okay, why does
every man in my life

have to ask you if they can
marry me before they ask me?

You want me to marry Vic?

You can't marry someone
if you don't love them.

You stayed married
to Dad all those years,

even though you were
miserable, just for me.

I don't want you to
ever do that again.

So, if you love him, marry him,

if not, he's still my dad,
and that's enough for me.

Mom, Vic's my dad,
but you, you're my family.

I have to find Vic.

Today's my mom's birthday...

and every year since her death,

I spend her
birthday doing things

that she would've done,
if she were still alive.

I volunteered at a soup
kitchen this morning.

My mom always did charity work.

Even after she got sick,

we still spent every
Thanksgiving at some shelter,

wherever my dad was stationed,

cooking and serving
food for needy families.

She always took
care of everyone,

even people she didn't know.

And the park?

My mom grew up back
east, across from a huge park.

She loved parks.

The first thing she would do
when we moved to a new base

was go out and
find the nearest park.

She said it made a
new place feel like home.

And once a week, she'd make
these incredible picnic dinners,

and we'd hike to her park

and eat and talk and
just have a great time.

When Dad was away,
just Mom and I would go.

Those dinners are some of the
best memories I have of my mother.

Even after she got sick,
she still insisted we go.

And when it was too much for
her to cook, Dad would get takeout.

And when she wasn't
feeling well, he'd carry her.

And the park that
we were at tonight?

When I moved here, I
really missed my mom.

I missed a lot of things.

So, one day, I went out
and looked for a park.

The park we were at tonight?

Being in a park makes
me feel closer to her.

I didn't mean to
lie to you today.

It's just...

I've never told anyone
about what I do on this day,

not even my dad.

But you told me.

Why?

I love you.

I do.

(phone ringing)

Hello.

Thanks for the night.

I was waiting for your call.

I'm really glad you
came out to see me.

I miss you, Ruthie.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Bye.

Why didn't we
think to ask Ruthie?

Good night, Mom and Dad.

Matt's still in school.

I don't know what's
going on with Sarah,

but I know he still loves her.

(quiet, relieved sigh)

Good night, Ruthie.
Good night, Ruthie.

(phone ringing)

Hello.

Hi, Matt, it's Richard.

Hello, Rabbi.

I'm on, too. Hi, Matt.

Mrs. Glass.

We just wanted
to call and wish you

a safe trip back to New York.

Thank you, and thanks for
putting me up for the night

and for putting
up with my family.

Anytime. We love you.

We love your family.

Don't worry, everything
is gonna work out.

We aren't worried.

Thanks.

Take care.

And call your parents.

I guess I just had
to say that, huh?

Good-bye.

(phone ringing)

Sarah?

Matt. Who is this?

It's me, Nurse Kelly
from the hospital. What?

I'm just calling
to tell you that...

I like your mother.

My... My mother?

Yeah, you know,
we talked tonight

and she's sweet and funny, and
you should call her more often.

You know, she
worries about you a lot.

So, um...

So...

So you and Sarah
Glass are married.

We're gonna have
to talk about that.

You are still
married, aren't you?

How much did my mother tell you?

Are you going to tell me why

you acted the way you
did today, about Matt?

He's a newlywed
and we're newlyweds.

If Matt and Sarah split up,

that doesn't mean that
we're going to split up.

You can't try and keep them
together if they need to be apart.

Matt and Sarah need to
do whatever's best for them.

And we're going to
do what's best for us,

and as far as I'm concerned,

that's staying together,
till death do us part.

Do you think Matt's
going to be okay?

Yeah, I do.

He's going to be just fine.

I was kind of nuts today, huh?

Don't take this the wrong way,

but you're kind of
nuts all the time.

(laughing)

MAN: Do you want anything else?

Yeah... be left alone.

PARIS: You're a liar.

You're a big, fat liar.

You were gonna ask me
to marry you, weren't you?

This is the fourth
bar I've been to.

Sounds like you got a problem.

Maybe should join AA.

I haven't touched it.

I want to, but I haven't.

And don't feel
sorry for me, okay?

I'm doing fine.

You're an alcoholic
who's sitting in a bar

with a sh*t of
whisky in front of him.

You're not doing fine.

You don't want to marry me.

You don't even know me.

We were married.

We had a child together.

I know you.

Yeah, but that
was a lifetime ago.

I'm not the same person,
and neither are you.

I love you.

I think you want to love
me, and that's sweet,

but you don't actually know
me well enough to love me.

(scoffs)

You're still in love
with Chandler. What?

You're still in love with
Chandler, aren't you?

No! Chandler and I are friends.

Wait, is that why
you're doing this?

Look, I know you don't love me,

but I love you and Peter,
and I want us to be a family.

And I know... you know,
it may be be a while

before you fall in
love with me again,

that is, if you can even
fall in love with me again.

But if some other
guy get to you before,

I'm gonna lose you and I
don't want to lose you again.

Peter is our child.

I mean, that
connects us forever.

You'll always be a part of my
life and a part of Peter's life.

What are you saying?

I'm saying that I hope

you don't take that drink,

because I know you
don't want to hurt Peter.

And I don't want to
see you hurt yourself.

What about me? I'm hurt.

But I can't marry you just
to stop you from drinking.

I can't love you just
because you want me to.

Okay, I can accept that.

But could you,
maybe, I don't know...

leave the door open
for us in the future?

The distant future?

The far distant future?

I don't think I can do that.

But maybe I could
leave the door...

unlocked.

Hey, I'll take what I can get.

Come on, let's go.

Where?

I'm going home

and I'm gonna drop
you off on the way.

There's an AA meeting
a block from here.

Hey... you said the
door was unlocked, right?

(sighs)
