04x24 - On The Road Again

[bunniefuu]

[PHONE RINGS]

KITTY:
Mm. Okay, baby.

Oh, please, please, Evan, don't.

- It's your mom.
- You've got to be kidding me.

Okay. No, no, no.

No, no, no. This is Mama's phone.

Hi, Mom. What's wrong?

Why are you calling me
so early in the morning?

Look, when you're in your s,
you don't sleep.

Ever. Remember that.

No, it's your sister, I'm worried.

Do you think there's any chance
that you could stop by over there

and check on her today?

I'm sorry, Mom, but I can't.
I'm campaigning all weekend.

I'm not gonna have any time and...

And Robert, are you not packed?

- We have to catch the bus.
- I have to take a rain check.

- Something came up with the bill.
- And you're just telling this now?

I know, I woke up to a stream
of panicked e-mails.

I was really looking forward
to spending some time with you.

NORA: Oh, maybe I should go with you.
- Where?

Campaigning. I've never been.

Do you think I need

to bring my rabidly Democratic
mother on the campaign trail with me?

I'm ahead in the polls, right now, okay?
I would like to keep it that way.

You should take her.
You have stops.

- You need somebody to play cards with.
- I play cards.

- Where are we going?
- I'm going to a fundraiser in Sacramento.

And then I'm going
to an elementary school in Oxnard.

And then I'm going to a firehouse,
and I have no idea where it is.

ROBERT: I love you.
- Firemen. Kitty, I love firemen.

Waah! Mm.

I love you. Here.

- How's this tie? Good?
- It's great.

Don't forget about tomorrow night.

Saul and Scotty
are doing their restaurant menu up in Ojai.

Yeah, I'll be there. Knock them dead.

All right.

So are we on?

On? On what?

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ON TV]

WOMAN [ON TV]: I just... I'm afraid
your wife is gonna come home.

Wow.

I mean, Mom said you were depressed,
but eating pizza in the morning?

- What, are you in college?
- Tastes good cold.

- Tastes good cold.
- Oh! Justin, get off.

Hey, Justin, what are you doing here?

Well, I heard dorm girl was down in
the dumps, so I came by to cheer her up.

Well, I'm sorry I'm not more upbeat.
Unemployment doesn't really suit me.

Well, you're talking to the king
of unemployment and don't wallow.

So clean the closet. Write a resume.

- Have you started looking for a job?
- No one's hiring.

Even if they were hiring,
they're certainly not hiring anybody

that drove their family business
into the ground.

Justin, she's been on the couch
for three days now.

She wants to be alone.

I'm sorry, I'm not gonna leave you alone.
I would never leave you alone.

All right?
So please stop eating those leftover pizza.

It's making me crazy.
You want to eat something?

I'll make you an omelet.

- Just one more piece.
- Whoa. Sarah.

I lost everything, Justin.

Not everything.
I mean, you still have Narrow Lake.

That worthless piece of property.

How tragic is it that Mom, Holly and I
end up joint owners of that damn place?

- It's like the booby prize.
- Yeah, pretty tragic.

- All right, no more pizza. You're done.
- Oh, God.

JUSTIN:
It's grossing me out.

At least Rebecca got a job offer.

Yeah. She did.

- So, so much for going to Haiti.
- Haiti?

My college is offering a program where
we go to Haiti and help out for a year.

- And I'd actually get full credit.
- Wow, a year?

Kind of a long time to be apart,
don't you think?

She didn't take the job yet. I was trying
to convince her to come.

I'm not gonna be in a library
the whole time.

- I'm down there helping out people.
- Hey, more good news. Ahem.

- Your mom is coming over.
- Ugh.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING
OVER SPEAKERS]

Ah. Saul, smell these peaches.

- You can't get anything like that in L.A.
- Oh.

Are you sure
we're gonna be ready in a month?

Well, we may not be f*ring
on all four burners,

but we'll be serving food.

Oh, I found a really great daycare center
in the neighborhood.

Why can't we have the baby
with us in the restaurant?

Well, sometimes, but not always.

BOTH: A baby.
KEVIN: Ugh.

Oh, did we wake you?

What, with all the banging, the clanging,
the Olivia Newton-John playing?

No, absolutely not.

So glad we rented the old Ojai house
for some peace and quiet this weekend.

Well, we're not here for peace and quiet.
Your whole family's coming tomorrow.

KEVIN:
Mm. Mm!

- You made a menu.
SCOTTY: Yeah. It's a test menu.

We want everyone's opinion
on how everything tastes.

Oh. So it's an oral exam?

Wait until you see the amazing recipes.

I feel bloated already.

Kevin, if you're not gonna help,
out of the kitchen.

Inside voice, please.

I never knew that my nephew
was such a grump in the morning.

I never knew my uncle
wore a muumuu, so we're even.

It's not a muumuu. It's a night shirt.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

- Where's...? Do you know where my...?
SCOTTY: Yeah.

Hey, Kit. Saul's wearing a muumuu.

- Says the man in the sleeping mask.
- How's my senator-to-be?

KITTY:
Oh, cautiously optimistic.

- What, about the primary?
- No, about me and Mom on a bus.

I somehow got suckered into letting her
campaign with me all weekend.

- It could be fun, right?
KEVIN [OVER PHONE]: I'm sorry.

Mom, the most vocal, bleeding-heart
liberal in Southern California?

No, that's not fun.
That's campaign su1c1de.

Oh, I was so hoping
you weren't gonna say that.

- Whoo-hoo! Kitty.
- She brought Sarah.

Sarah's not the person
I'd want cheering for me.

No.
She looks like somebody k*lled her cat.

I'll see you tomorrow. Okay?

- Surprise. You've got the both of us.
- Yeah.

- Hey, how are you, Sarah?
- Hi. Does this thing have a TV?

KITTY:
Uh... Yeah.

What the hell are you thinking?

She was doing nothing but eating pizza
and watching soap operas.

Mom, this is not a bus to Vegas, okay?
I have some serious campaigning to do.

Where's the remote?

KITTY: Um...
- Oh, never mind, got it.

You see? She's better already.

It's gonna be fine.

Come on, honey.

Look at this.
I just got another friend request.

- Saul just discovered Facebook.
- Oh, hot.

- Old flame?
- Well, we had a little moment.

But that was years ago.

Oh, look. He's a big AIDS activist.

It says he's been living with AIDS
for the last years.

Oh, he does those bike-a-thons.
That's pretty remarkable.

I did a bike-a-thon.
I raised , bucks.

And then I had to spend , bucks
on my own chiropractor.

- Oh, you have your physical next week.
KEVIN: Oh, yeah.

- Do you two still get tested?
- Mm-hm.

For HIV? Yeah, of course.

It's like habit now.
It's like spring-cleaning.

Yeah. And you never know
where this one's been tramping around.

SCOTTY: Exactly.
- What do you mean "exactly"?

SCOTTY: What about you, Saul?
- What, me? Tested?

What for? I'm years old.

Anyway, I haven't had sex
since the Hindenburg exploded.

No, the only thing about me
that gets tested is my patience.

Now, come on.
We have recipes to cook.

We have meals to make.

Listen,
we have enough to hang this guy.

Stanton's been buying votes to win
highly inflated defense contracts.

He is getting rich
on the backs of our soldiers.

- You think I don't know that?
- Then why hang onto the tapes?

- You have him offering you money, a job.
- He threatened Kitty.

The one thing I told you was I wouldn't let
this compromise her campaign.

- He hasn't anything on Kitty.
- Well, he'll make something up.

I mean, I'm already hearing this crap

about Kitty using my plane
to campaign around the state.

I mean, who do you think that is?
It's Stanton.

Look, it is just noise.

The kind of noise
that drowns everything else out.

And it starts with the little lies and...

Then it's the big lies,
and she's destroyed.

If you don't go public,
he's getting away with m*rder.

Literally.

He is out there on his own,
operating without any accountability,

and American soldiers are dying because
all he cares about is making money.

Okay, look, I told you I'd go after this guy
and I've done my part.

But I also told you,
if it got anywhere near her, I was out.

He knows that we're on to him now.

He's going to be in church
every Sunday singing in the choir.

Those tapes our only sh*t.

Now please, give them to me.

I can't.

I have to do this
in a way that protects my wife.

I hope you have a safe place
to hide them.

The tapes will be safe.

Honey, you know,
I think you're doing a wonderful job.

Well, thank you. Thank you, Mom.

But this stop,
maybe you should start out

with immigration performance
instead of tax cuts.

Last three stops have just
been "tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts."

That's because tax cuts work.
They stimulate the economy.

Oh, my God. They found
another feral child in Wisconsin.

Oh, wait. Never mind.

This was a really bad idea.

She's gonna be fine. Honestly.

And when you consider
all of the options,

I think watching soap operas
and reading trashy magazines

is a pretty harmless way
of self-medicate.

I'm not self-medicating, Mom.
I'm grieving.

- There are stages.
- Yes, I know, honey.

There are five stages.

- Excuse me, can I have this for a minute?
- No. My favorite show's about to come on.

- The governor's going to be on.
- This is all I'm living for.

- Don't let them take it away from me.
- Sarah.

Sarah.

Is she gonna be
like this the whole time?

- No. You have to do fix this.
- Okay, girls.

SARAH: Fine.
- Stop. Sarah.

Sarah, listen to me.

Honey, come on, now. Come on, now.

- We're just gonna have some fun.
SARAH: Fun?

I am stuck on a bus
in the middle of nowhere,

listening to my sister's
cheering, adoring fans.

Not that I'm not happy for you.
I mean, I want her to win.

Honestly, I do.
But I tanked my family's business.

I bet the house on Narrow Lake,
I came up dry.

Let's face it. My instincts suck.

- Sweetheart, your instincts don't suck.
- Well, they do a little.

Ugh.

Sarah, honey, listen to me.

You cannot bear the weight of Ojai
going out of business all by yourself.

- I'm just as responsible as you are.
- Does anyone know if I get carsick?

Well, we're going to find out, I think.

Here. She can have this back.

- Um...
- What?

It's Saul.

- Oh, he can't hear us.
- The walls are like oak.

No, it's not... It's not that.

- He should get tested, Kevin.
- Oh, that.

Look, he hasn't had sex
since the Stone Age.

That poor man. He said so himself.

SAUL: I heard that.
- Saul?

SAUL: Yes.
- Are you holding a glass to the wall?

No, but I have my new hearing aids in.

Okay.

It is very sweet for you both to care
and I appreciate it,

but this is not a possibility.

- When was the time you were tested?
- Stop worrying about me.

Worry about the restaurant
this weekend.

What if we all went together?

I'm sure there's a place
in town we could go.

Yeah, we could go tomorrow.
Out of "solidarity."

Okay, how about this.

I'll go next month
when I have my cholesterol checked.

Great, great. I'll go with you if you want.

It's okay. I'll be fine.

Thank you.

Oh, don't start fooling around.

The walls are paper-thin.

Hey, thanks for coming.

Sure, sure.

I guess, the obvious question is,
what am I doing here at : at night?

Hey, you didn't finish
at the hospital until now.

Okay, let me rephrase.

What are we doing here
at : at night?

I just wanted to talk to you.

Well, I didn't do anything wrong, did I?

No, no. To the contrary.

You're the only person
that I can trust right now.

Look, we've been through a lot.

You're a soldier.

That's what I need right now.

I want you to hold onto that.

- What is this?
- It's a key to a safe deposit box.

This is the address to the bank.

Now, this is in both of our names.

And you and I
are the only ones who know about it.

- Heh. You're kidding me, right?
- There's an envelope inside.

And when I figure out
what I wanna do with it, I'll let you know.

But if something happens to me,
give it to Kitty.

She'll make the decision on what to do.

What do you mean?
Is this about your health?

Justin, do this for me, please.

- Okay?
- Yeah.

Yeah.

NORA:
There.

That's a little more festive.

Now I'm gonna turn
this light right here.

Mom. Mom.

What are you doing?
I can't see anything now.

NORA:
Well, that's the point.

It ain't exactly The Ritz around here.

- They better have cable.
NORA: No, no, no.

No more TV for you, missy.
You're cut off.

We're doing facials.

Oh, my God. We're out of wine.

Where's the minibar?

KITTY:
At the Four Seasons...

SARAH:
Mother.

[SIGHS]

- Oh-ho! Get up, get up. Don't...
SARAH: What?

They never wash those bedspreads.
Get up off there.

You're liable to get
some horrible skin disease.

I'd like a skin disease.

Anything just to feel again.

NORA:
All right. Everybody, listen up.

- We're going to do facials.
SARAH: I got it.

Wait a minute. Have you guys ever heard
of "Citizens For a Corrupt-Free America"?

No, it sounds like some horrible
right wing, militant, g*n toting...

Well, they're saying that I'm flying
around California in a private jet.

Well, you do fly around California
in a private jet.

I don't campaign in it, Mother.

That's what they're saying.
They're saying that I campaign in it.

And I certainly don't use
taxpayers' dollars to gas it up.

I mean, this is outrageous.

What are you gonna do about it?

I'm not gonna do anything.
You can't fight these wackos.

- Kitty, they're lying about you.
KITTY: Mom, let it go.

I mean it. Please.

It's no big deal. Sorry I brought it up.

- Well, l... You know...
SARAH: Mom.

- What?
- She said let it go.

This is about you
always getting involved.

All right, guys, guys, guys.

I need you to be quiet.

I'm sorry, but I really have
to start working on my speech.

Okay, give me the keys to the bus.

- I'm going to get more liquor.
- No.

No, you're not driving the bus.

Okay, I will get a cab.

You're not gonna drive anything,
for goodness sakes.

You know what?

I'm going to go get one
of those nice little intern people

and have them go to the store.

Good. Make sure he gets a screw top
because we don't have an opener.

NORA:
For God's sakes.

Don't you dare.

[SARAH GROANS]

Wait.

My face feels funny.

It looks funny.

Oh, did I forget to wash my mask off?

Oh, my God, Sarah.

You're gonna have such tiny
little pores on that side anyway.

Oh, good.

- Where's Mom?
- Don't know.

- Oh.
- Huh.

Oh. Ugh.

My sciatica's kicking in.
I don't feel good.

Mom, why did you sleep on the floor?

I have no idea.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh, my right side of my body is numb.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

[NORA MOANING]

- Hey, what's up?
NORA: Oh, God.

- This place looks like a frat room.
SARAH: Mom.

What? You're kidding.

- You've got chips in your hair.
KITTY: I'll call you back.

NORA:
Get it off. Oh.

Oh, I didn't sleep one wink last night.

Which one of you two girls
has a tiny little bladder?

Oh, it would be the mother of two.

- Excuse me.
- Hey, Mom?

Did you happen to sign on the website
that was trashing me last night?

Maybe just for one little minute.

Oh, my God, Mom.

Kitty, I couldn't let them get away with it.

They were lying about you.

- You had too much wine.
- Kitty, listen.

It wasn't just the jet plane.

They started in about your wig.

They said you spent thousands
and thousands of dollars

and single-handedly
plucked strands of hair

out of poor, little orphaned
girls' heads to make the wig.

I had to respond.

Oh, my God.
You told them how much my wig cost.

I don't know how much your wig cost.

Really?
Because it says right here, $ , .

- That is absurd.
- No, Sarah.

It's not absurd. That's what it cost.

Exactly what it cost.

I mean, I know it's hard to believe,
but they're incredibly expensive.

Sweetheart, you had cancer.

They can't begrudge you one little wig.

No, Mom, you're wrong.

It's either rich Kitty McCallister,
out of touch, spending all this money

or it's poor Kitty McCallister,
cancer survivor, fragile,

how will she ever withstand a primary,
let alone a term in the Senate?

No. This is coming from someone
who knows exactly what they're doing.

Someone who found out
precisely how much my wig cost.

Well, who?

That's a very good question.

Okay, so you're saying
if someone is taking amiodarone,

they could be suffering
from ventricular tachycardia?

Wow, that's pretty serious.

No, no.
I don't know how long he's been taking it.

Okay, well, thanks a lot, professor.

And I will get back to you.

All right. Thank you.

Who was that about?

Nothing. Just a school question.

So, Justin, I've been thinking
a lot about the whole Haiti thing.

- What if we both do what we wanna do?
- What do you mean?

- You go to Haiti and I take this job.
- How would that work?

I know it would be difficult, but...

I mean, timeout.
Rebecca, like, we just got married.

The whole point is to stay together.

[SIGHS]

I took the job, Justin.

- You what?
- You knew the deadline was today.

- I didn't think you were gonna take the...
- Justin, I want this opportunity.

This is a huge step forward for me.

So, what, I'm supposed
to just go to Haiti without you?

- I'm trying to compromise.
- No, you're not trying to compromise.

- You made the decision for us.
- I did not.

You know what? Fine, I'm not going.

Rebecca, you got what you wanted,
at least be honest about it.

WOMAN: So you're here for an HIV test?
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Why? Are you surprised?

You probably don't get
people my age coming here.

I wish we did.

The over- set
is our fastest growing risk group.

- It's those performance enhancing pills.
- Ah.

Yes.

The truth is, I really haven't done anything
to put myself at risk for years, so...

I see.

I'm probably wasting your time
as well as mine.

I mean, I'm in perfect health.

My hearing isn't
as good as it used to be,

but I have these amazing
hearing aids now and I...

Let me ask you something.

Is it possible for someone
to be HIV positive for,

I don't know, let's say decades,
and not know?

If you're asking if you could be positive
and completely asymptomatic?

- Right.
- The answer is yes.

I see.

You know, it's not typical,
but it can happen.

Wow.

- I take it you've never been tested before?
- No. No, no.

- I just never thought that...
- Is there a reason for concern now?

Yeah.

Yeah.

This friend of mine...

We were together years ago.

I just found out
that he's living with AIDS.

And...

Listen, if someone tests positive,

there are all sorts of dr*gs
they can take now.

A person can live a long,
healthy life these days.

Good.

- We could get you tested right now.
- Now?

You'd know tomorrow morning.

Anytime after .

Good. Okay.

Let's go for it.

Okay, so you dry the frisée
and I'll start putting the eggs in.

Yeah.

Oh, Saul, did you put vinegar
in that water?

Yes. I put vinegar in the water.

- I do know how to poach an egg.
- Okay. Relax.

Scotty, I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to jump on you.

I just didn't sleep very well last night.

Are you thinking about
what we talked about last night?

- No.
- I didn't mean to pressure you.

- If you don't want to...
- Can we concentrate on the frisée salad?

Yeah.

- Hey, anything I can do to help?
SAUL: Whoa! Oh.

Is everything okay?

Listen, Rebecca. Do me a favor.

There are too many cooks
in this kitchen.

Rebecca, would you mind
taking out these empanadas for me?

REBECCA:
Definitely.

- How was the drive?
- It wasn't bad.

Don't go in the kitchen.
Everybody's freaking out.

I'm going to grab a sweater.
You want one, Justin?

[SCOFFS]

- Justin.
- No. I would've asked.

Thank you, Rebecca.

- You guys okay?
- We've been better.

- What about you? How you feeling?
- I feel fine.

What do they have you
taking these days?

- Taking?
- Your heart, Robert.

Atorva, which is why
I'm gonna have some more of this.

[DOOR OPENS]

- Hi, guys.
- How were the crowds?

NORA:
The crowds were large, friendly.

And loud. Excruciatingly loud.

- Robert, can I talk to you for a minute?
ROBERT: Sure.

Don't go in the kitchen.
Saul might k*ll you.

SARAH: What?
- Oh, look, how cute. They have menus.

So let's see,
they have lamb burgers with yogurt.

- Chipotle meat loaf.
SARAH: Ooh, yum.

Anyone want some olive tapenade?

- Wine, please.
NORA: Wine, please.

Oh, Rebecca,
when do you start your new job?

- It's a sensitive subject.
- Yeah, so maybe we should just drop it.

All I am saying, Robert,
is that it's weird.

Okay, I've tried to track
Citizens For a Corrupt-Free America

and they are not
a registered lobbying group.

They don't exist anywhere.

I'm sure it's just some wing nut
with a computer.

No.
They put it up in exactly the right places.

Cable news picked up the private-jet story
just as we were coming off the bus.

- Okay, it's not...
- It's ironic.

- It's not true, so...
- It doesn't matter if it's not true, Robert.

There is somebody out there who has
a lot of information and a lot of experience

and for whatever reason,
they've decided to come after me.

Okay, look, you're up in the polls.

So it makes perfect sense.

It makes sense,
but I'm still trying to find out who it is.

And I've called a couple of my friends
on the other side and they flatly deny it.

- I don't want you worrying about this.
- Robert, they brought up the wig.

And how much it cost.

They brought up the cancer. I didn't think
they were gonna do that and they did.

[SIGHS]

Mm.

- Too much cilantro in that.
- I'm sure it's fine.

SCOTTY: How's everybody doing in here?
- Oh, great. She's a little jittery.

Drop it.
He didn't sleep well last night.

- It's our fault.
SAUL: Oh, come on.

Why is it our fault? Why? Because
we were talking about getting tested?

It's not like you've been around the block.

You've barely set foot
outside your house.

Would you please stop being
so patronizing and cavalier about this?

Okay, I'm sorry I ever mentioned it.

- Are you?
- Yeah.

Do you have any idea
what you're asking of me? Do you?

This world that the two of you live in,

it's where everything is so easy
and so much is possible.

You have a surrogate carrying your child,
you're married...

- Technically, we're not married.
- I'm so sorry.

You're domestic partners, whatever.

When I was your age,
I just hoped that I wouldn't get arrested

when I walked into a gay bar.

- If you don't want to get tested...
- Too late. I already did.

- What?
- I took the test this morning.

That's a good thing, right?

Great for people like you,
because it's spring-cleaning for you.

Isn't that what you said?
You go every year.

But you see, I never opened that closet.

Regardless of the world
that you grew up in,

the world that I knew
was a lot less accepting.

People d*ed.

Don't you get it?

For me, bad news is pos...

So why don't you plate up this food
and I will get some fresh air.

It's just pushing my buttons, is all.

It's just making me doubt everything.

What are you doubting?

Well, it's been two months
since my last test.

And you were fine.

But I have to have another one
in six months and another one after that.

It's always gonna be there.

You're not gonna get sick again.

What if I do?

What if I really can't handle this?

Don't do this.

Don't let one person do this to you.

You're up in the polls
and you had a bad day.

Okay. I am gonna go get us some wine.

[DOOR OPENS]

Where the hell is he going?

You know, I don't know,
but he seemed really upset.

- You know, I'm going to go talk to him.
- Mom, stop. Don't.

Don't get involved. Keep drinking.

You know, I'll go to the kitchen.
I will find out what's going on.

I'll come with you for moral support.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

- Why is your mother calling me?
REBECCA: I don't know.

Hey, Holly, what's up?

They're drilling again?

Well, who authorized that?

- You're kidding me.
- Look, Sarah, I can explain.

No, I will talk to her. Thank you.

Mom, what the hell are you doing?

Look, it's worth the time and effort.
I know it.

- So you paid for more drilling?
- It's my money.

There's nothing there, Mom. If there was,
they would have found it by now.

Sarah, it's just a few more days drilling.

Oh, God, Mom, I love you,
but you have to stop.

You cannot solve
everybody's problems.

Mine, Kitty's, Saul's. Just leave it alone.

No, I don't believe, as a family,
we can't help each other.

Then how can I move on if you don't?

I need more information.
I'm starting to feel really weird about this.

There's nothing more I can say.

Why are you taking amiodarone?

I started to have
some arrhythmia again.

- Does Kitty know?
- I didn't think anyone knew.

I'm sorry. I saw the bottle on your desk.

Now you're telling me
you're hiding it from Kitty.

What I'm asking you to do
has nothing to do with my health.

Then what is in the safety deposit box?

- Don't do this.
- You can't expect me to...

No, I can expect it.
That's why I chose you.

That's the whole point.

I'm sorry. I'm worried about you, Robert.

Give me the key back. I mean it.

I clearly chose the wrong person.

[DOOR OPENS]

Hey, guys. Tasting menu's ready.

Excuse me.

Is he okay?
Because he seems a little testy.

Yeah, you know what? He's fine.

He's fine.

Uncle Saul, I'm sorry.

- I didn't realize...
- It's okay.

Come on. Let's go eat.

- Thank you.
NORA: Menus.

Menus.

SCOTTY:
Okay.

So the idea behind our restaurant

is comfort food
meets organic meets tapas.

And we are very hopeful
and very optimistic.

We better be
because we open in a month.

So you all have your menus.

Mark down what you like
in order of preference.

And I want everybody's opinion.
Not just Kevin's.

- So...
ROBERT: Uhn.

- You all right?
SCOTTY: Dig in.

KEVIN:
What's wrong? Robert?

- I think someone should call .
KEVIN: What's wrong?

KITTY:
Robert. Robert, are you okay?

NORA: What's wrong?
- Call .

KITTY: What's happening?
- You okay? You okay?

Come on, look at me. Breathe.

Just breathe, all right?

MAN [OVER PA]:
Dialysis call extension .

- Dialysis call .
KITTY: Ugh.

Oh, hey.

- Wow, what time is it?
- It's early.

How are you feeling?

I've been watching you.
What could be better?

Hmm.

- I need coffee.
- I will call room service.

[SIGHS]

You know what, honey?

It's not funny.

You have been walking around
with an arrhythmia

and you never bothered to tell me.

- I didn't want you to...
- Didn't want what?

To have to choose
between me and the campaign.

That's what grown-ups do.

We talk about it.

And we set priorities.

- But I want you to win.
- Robert, we had to call an ambulance.

Look, I got dizzy, all right?

I shouldn't have said anything.

- Oh, you are...
- I'm sorry.

- Seriously, you are unbelievable.
- I'm sorry.

You are unbelievable.

You just will never accept
anything from anyone.

You are incredibly stoic and I...

I love that about you.

I really do, but you know, I also love
the part of you that is vulnerable.

I love the part of you that needs me.

And when you can't figure out
what tie to wear, I am in heaven.

When you can't find your glasses, l...

Forget about it.

I just didn't fall in love with the hero.

I fell in love with the guy who was afraid

that after his heart att*ck,

he wasn't gonna be able
to keep up with his kid.

[SIGHS]

Look, I may have gotten
myself into a situation.

Those hits that you have been taking?

They're directed at me.

They're sh*ts across the bow
from a guy named Stanton.

He's in line for a big defense contract.

Go on.

[SIGHS]

NORA: You're out early.
- Yeah.

I went for a little walk.

Ah.

- I just talked to Kitty.
- Oh?

She said Robert's gonna be all right.

They are releasing him
from the hospital today.

Oh, boy. That's great.

Thank God, huh?

- You're the one I'm worried about.
- Me?

- Yeah.
- Oh, I see.

You've been talking to the boys.

I'm so sorry I didn't know
what you were going through.

Please,
tell me about this friend of yours.

What can I say?
He wasn't the only one.

[STAMMERS]
L...

I spent most of my life
living in shame, Nora.

There were no role models for me
when I was growing up.

But you can't be alone every night.

There were times when I let myself.

But it was always in secret.

And it was rarely with the same person
so it could never be anything real.

I made sure of that.

Didn't you worry
about what that might cost you?

We knew nothing about what was going
on in those days and there were times...

I mean, cost you your heart. Your soul.

No.

No, I couldn't let myself think that way.

Well, then, it's time to start.
Your life is not over yet.

When do you get your results?

Now, today, whenever I want.

Let's call. I'll sit right here with you.

No, I have to do that when I'm alone.
Please.

For crying out loud.

What is wrong with everyone?

What, is there a moratorium
on compassion around here?

We're family.

That means you don't have
to do things alone.

- That's the whole point.
- You are so pushy.

Well, tough.

- Here, take that.
- All right.

I have to get the number.

All right. Here it is.

[DIALING]

I had a test the other day.
I'm calling for the results.

Saul Holden.

H-O-L-D-E-N.

My birthday is August th, .

Thank you. Yeah, thank you.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Mom, Holly called. We've got to go.

- Where?
SARAH: Narrow Lake. Hurry.

- Come on.
- Narrow Lake.

[UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYING]

Aah! Ha-ha.

- Can you believe this?
- What is it?

It's an aquifer.

It's our aquifer.

It's Narrow Lake. I knew it, I knew it.

What does that mean exactly?

It means that we are
in the water business.

I mean, do you know how much
California needs water?

- We are going to be rich.
- How deep is it?

They said it's the deepest one
they've ever seen.

NORA:
Well, tell them to stop it.

- Boys, turn it off.
- They're getting a well cap. Don't worry.

NORA:
Well, we don't want it to run out.

Nora, it's enormous.
It's an entire ocean under there.

NORA: What are you doing?
SARAH: Oh, my God.

- What are you doing?
SARAH: Oh, my God.

What do you say?

Okay, come on, Nora. Let's go.

[LAUGHING]

ROBERT:
Yes, you were right.

I guess I wasn't feeling so hot.

You still want the key back?

Actually, I do.
But not because I don't trust you.

I think Kitty and I
should handle this ourselves.

- You told Kitty. That's good.
- Yeah, I told her everything.

I probably should've a long time ago,

but I think I have to keep learning
this lesson over and over.

I heard you were part of a very
covert operation this weekend.

Yeah. So covert
I had no idea what was going on.

[KITTY CHUCKLES]

Well, I guess I'll see you guys
back at the bat cave.

KITTY:
All right, Justin. Take care.

- Bye.
- See you, little brother.

Love you.

Sarah, I know how much
you liked the chipotle meat loaf.

Thank you.

- Your restaurant's gonna be a big hit.
- Thank you.

If not, Sarah can support you
for the rest of your life.

Now that she and Mom
are the water queens of Ojai.

I think we have enough queens
in the family.

SCOTTY: Oh, Nora.
NORA: Yes.

- Here, this is the mac and cheese.
- Oh, Scotty, thank you.

KEVIN: Come on.
- Okay.

SARAH: Bye.
KEVIN: Bye.

- Mom.
- Yeah?

Even if we hadn't found water,

I wouldn't trade that miserable bus trip
for all the pizza in the world.

- She's going out again to the Bay Area.
- Don't push your luck.

- It's the wine country.
- Get in.

- All right, I'm getting in the car.
- Okay, let's go.

- Bye.
- Hit the road.

- Bye, guys.
REBECCA: Don't forget this.

KEVIN:
You angel.

- Bye.
SCOTTY: Thank you.

- Bye.
- Bye, sweetheart.

NORA: Goodbye.
SAUL: Drive safe.

Are you sure you turned the ovens off?

Uh... Yeah. Four times.

How's Robert?

He's fine. He's fine.

They just changed his medication.

Good.

[SIGHS]

Wait, wait, wait.

[SIGHS]

Did you mean what you said?
About going without you?

To Haiti? Yes, I did.

Look, I was just thinking
about Robert and Kitty

and how they're there for each other.

And that's what I want for us, Rebecca.

I know you do.

Me too.

And you think
we can survive this separation?

Would you be happy any other way?

And I know that a year is a long time,
but compared to a lifetime...

- A year's nothing.
- To, I mean, a lifetime?

- Like a real lifetime?
- Justin.

- I love you.
- I love you too.

MAN [OVER RADIO]: You are listening
to conservative talk radio.

When he was elected president
of the United States, many...

I've been thinking
about the whole Stanton thing.

Yeah.
I think you should release the tapes.

A political reputation
was already categorized by the...

I'm serious.

We would take a major hit.

And we might even lose, but...

Yeah, but if we play it safe
and wait until the election is over,

he's still gonna come after me.

- Exactly.
- He's gonna come after me just as hard.

You wanna know
what Stanton's big mistake was?

Mm?

He never should've brought up the wig.

[CHUCKLES]

It really pissed me off.

- d*ed in the Civil w*r. And the vote...

- Release them.
- Let's release them.

- has not only continued through
the first quarter of , but has...

KEVIN:
Well, I'm glad you're okay, Saul.

- You big drama queen.
- That's very funny, Kevin.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Oh, listen, Holly's getting a phone call.
We'll talk later, okay?

- Okay. Bye.
HOLLY: Hello?

- Hey. Where are you, guys?
- We're almost at the Ventura border.

We're right behind you.

Nora and I have been talking
and we think that maybe you should revisit

the Hawaiian wedding idea.

SARAH [OVER PHONE]: Oh, my God.
- The wedding I planned was so beautiful.

I don't know.
Maybe David and I will get married there.

No, no, no. Hold on, hold on.

Our mothers want to throw us
that wedding in Hawaii

now that they can afford it.
What do you think?

Tell them thank you, but, no.

- Not Hawaii again.
- I'll tell them...

Mom, we're going to think about it.

Hello?

I lost her.

Look, I just say
we leave well enough alone.

Every time we think about having
a big wedding, something bad happens.

Plus, it's redundant.
We're already married.

- We should just let Mom and Dad do it.
- Yep. I mean, I'd go to that wedding.

You tired? You want me to drive?

No, no, no. I'm fine, I'm fine.

Why don't you find something
on the radio.

[MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]

REBECCA: Oh, my God.
- What?

JUSTIN:
Is everyone okay?

- Scotty.
- Oh, my God, Kevin.

Are you okay?

- Justin.
- I'm fine.

- I'm fine.
JUSTIN: Kevin, are you okay?

- Help the others. Help Mom.
- Are you hurt?

REBECCA: What?
- Mom was just...

JUSTIN:
Mom.

- Sarah, you okay?
- I think we hit Robert's car.

- Oh, my God.
- There was a truck.

- Where's my mom?
NORA: Holly's in the car.

- I can't get Holly out of the car.
- What?

- Holly's hurt.
REBECCA: Mom.

- Just sit down over here.
- Call emergency...

Are you okay? Where's Saul?

- Where's Saul?
NORA: I don't know.

I see him.

- Saul?
- I'm fine.

- Are you okay? Good.
- Yeah.

Don't touch me.

You can't.

JUSTIN:
Kitty.

- Oh, my God.
JUSTIN: Kitty, Kitty.

No, no, Justin.
Justin, I think he's really hurt.

- He's really hurt.
- All right, let me in.

Let me in. Okay.

Hey, Robert.

There he is. There's my man.

Justin, help. Mom's bad.

Justin, I'll wait for the ambulance.

- Go.
JUSTIN: All right.

- Oh, God.
- I'll be back.

Be right back, okay?

REBECCA:
Oh, God. Oh, God.

JUSTIN:
Rebecca, clear out. Clear out.

Rebecca.

- Can you hear me?
- I don't know if she's breathing.

JUSTIN:
Can you hear me, Holly?

Holly? Holly.

Okay, Holly, it's Justin, all right?

I'm just gonna put this on.

Keep you warm, okay?

You're gonna be okay.
She's gonna be okay.

KITTY: Okay, Robert.
Everything's gonna be okay.

You're going to be fine.
Okay, talk to me.

Just talk to me, darling. It's okay.

You were right.

I was right?

When we brought Evan home
from the hospital, I was scared

that I wouldn't be able to keep up.

But then I saw you holding him.

So strong.

So loving.

And I knew that you would.

I knew that...

Robert.

Robert, Robert, talk to me.

Oh, God. Robert.

Stay with me. I'm right here.

Robert.

Oh, my...

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, somebody...
Somebody... Oh, Robert.

[SIRENS APPROACHING]

Robert, please.

Please, Robert, stay with me.

Robert, stay with...

Robert, don't.

Oh, God. Somebody...

Somebody... Somebody help...

Help. Robert.

Robert.

NORA:
Kitty?

Kitty?

Kitty.
