Love Lessons (2000) - full transcript
An older couple discovers they are going to have a baby.
- Hey sailor, look what
I found in the galley.
- Oh wow.
- Thanks.
- So, what do you think, you like her?
- She's beautiful, a little cramped below.
- Well, they're all a little cozy
but I'm kinda looking
forward to that.
- I hope you're still saying
that after a year at sea.
- To you.
- To us.
- This salt air is making me
hungry, how about you captain?
- Starved.
- Well where shall we go to dinner?
- Well, it's your birthday, you choose.
- How about De Brosa, it's still early.
- I don't know I'm not
sure I'm dressed for it.
You really wanna go downtown?
- All right, let's just
go over to the Yacht Club.
- That's a good idea.
- I can't believe it.
- What?
- You almost let me pick the restaurant.
- I always do.
- No you don't,
you pretend you do but you don't.
- When, when did I ever do that?
- When did you not?
- Sunny, you're right, can't fool you.
- It's about time you figured that out.
- Surprise!
- Can't fool you?
- Oh I'll get you for this.
- I surely hope so.
- What a nice surprise.
We weren't suppose to have a party.
Listen, listen, listen,
I'm not 50, I'm 49.95.
Ann, that's hysterical.
- Well good 'cause I got one just like it
but mine says I'm not 50.
I'm just kidding.
- Oh I am appalled.
- Oh, no actually how
do you look so great?
- Genetics, my side of the family.
- Oh you're so modest.
- Thanks Dad.
- A toast, to the world's
most incredible mother,
happy birthday.
Ah.
- And my offering, a
raspberry truffle surprise.
- Brody, I shouldn't even smell it.
- Oh come on honey.
- Did you make it?
- Yes I did.
- Just take a look.
- Mick put me up to it.
- Africa, safari.
- Can't fool you.
- Oh it's what I always wanted.
Oh thank you.
- Happy birthday honey.
- We've been dying to tell you for months,
it'll be the longest
double date we've ever had.
- You're going too?
- We've already packed our bags.
- Hey can you guys watch your grandson
for a couple of hours tomorrow?
- Oh we're taking a boat
in the morning, afternoon?
- Sure.
- Great thanks.
- See you later.
- Okay.
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you honey.
- Drive carefully.
- Hey Mick, I almost
forgot, the master list
for the college reunion, which
you are organizing, remember?
- No.
- You agreed last time.
- That was ages ago.
- Ah, don't worry about it,
you've got almost a year to get it done.
- Your timing stinks Brody.
- Yeah, I know that's how
you wound up with the girl.
- Needless.
- Goodnight Brody.
- Turkey.
So, did you have a happy birthday?
- Oh.
- I wouldn't change a
thing about our life.
- And it's only the beginning.
You know what they say
life begins at 49.95.
Really and what do you think
is in store for us.
- Well, after Africa, we sell the house,
we sell the business and we go
on the most exclusive cruise
in the world, just the two of us.
Down the coast, through the Panama Canal,
up the eastern seaboard
and then the tricky part,
navigating the Atlantic.
All the stuff we talked
about since we were kids.
- "National Geographic".
- Yep, under the covers
with the flashlight.
- You sure it wasn't "20,000
Leagues Under the Sea?"
God I hope not.
- You know what maybe we should just
lease the house, so we'd
have a place to come back to,
just in case.
- In case of what?
- I don't know, just in
case we don't like it.
- What's not to like.
Hey wanna see what else
I can do under the cover?
- You need a flashlight?
- Not this time.
- Oh.
- The hull's cord, made
to withstand 20 foot seas,
halyards and winches are all good.
I got two of everything on board
and all the system manuals.
And if you decide to buy her,
I'm gonna pull a her out again
and scrape the keel.
Wanna take her?
- Honey, want to?
- I hear you're going around the world.
- Yeah, that's the plan next year.
- Yeah, it's our dream.
We've been sailing off
and on for about 20 years,
mostly day trips, couple
of times to Victoria.
- Well, she'll get you
to wherever you wanna go.
- Mick.
- Sunny?
Honey, are you okay, come on.
- Oh that was embarrassing,
I never get sea sick.
- You all right now?
- Yeah.
- What do you think?
- It's getting more real.
- So?
- Maybe we could lease it.
- Lease it?
- With an option to buy.
That way we can find
out if we really wanna,
if this is really the boat for us.
- Sunny, we're not leasing the boat
and we're not leasing the house.
Now are you with me on this or what?
- Of course I'm with you.
- Let's get you home.
- Faster, Grandpa, faster.
- Faster, whew, I think
this horsey's ready
to be put out to pasture you rotten kid.
You're getting to be too big.
- I'm only six.
- Don't you let him call you a rotten kid.
- Grandma said to not
call me a rotten kid.
- Wanna see a movie tonight?
- Can I go?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, two, two.
- No dysfunctional families,
I can get that at home.
- I love dysfunctional families.
- Who says you're going?
- Can I?
- You have school tomorrow.
- I can skip it.
- Ben!
Hey look what I got.
- What do you feed that kid, coffee beans?
- Was he okay?
- He was great.
I'm a little disappointed, I
thought you'd be gone longer.
- Oh well we split things up,
I did the shopping while
Dan went to the office.
- The office, on Sunday?
- Yeah, I got something to show you,
you got some time tomorrow?
- Sure, catch me first
thing in the morning.
No, no, I'm gonna be out of the office,
after lunch, no, that won't work either.
Look, just talk to Vicki
and get it on the calendar.
- Come on Dad, try and get it.
- Come on we gotta go
get the groceries in.
We'll play later.
- Thanks again Mom.
- We'll see you.
- Bye Grandma maybe next time
we can go to the movies, okay?
- Okay.
- So when you get back I'll take a number.
- You're that busy?
- Oh don't start.
- Did you see his face?
He just wants to show you something.
- Are we going to the movies or what?
- You didn't tell him about
selling the company, did you?
- I'm waiting for the right moment.
- Waiting or avoiding?
- I'll handle it, I don't
wanna scare the kid,
now come on, let's go to the movies.
- Sunny, you have got to
call Dr. Simmons today.
- It's just a bug, everybody's got it.
- Well, this damn bug
has gone on for too long.
Now promise me you'll call him okay?
- I will if you will.
- Will what?
- Talk to Dan.
- Okay.
- What are you gonna say?
- Just that we've thought this through,
it's part of our long range plans
and not to worry whoever
buys, I'll make sure he always
has a job there, you happy now?
- Yeah.
- Feel better okay?
- I already do.
- And by the way I'll be late for dinner,
I'm playing tennis with Bill.
- How long can you guys be at sea
without pulling into a port.
- As long as we want, within reason.
- Sounds like heaven.
- Just between you and
me, sometimes I wander
what we'll do all day.
I mean, after we have our
coffee and raise the sails,
we won't even have a newspaper.
- Books, you love to
read, take up knitting.
- I could do that.
Look I have to run over to
the doctor at lunchtime,
can you stay in?
- Sure, everything okay?
- I think so.
- You never get sick.
- I'm not sick, I think
it's a little virus.
I promised Mick I'd have it checked out.
Don't worry I'll be back by the time
you've finished 30 more of these.
Thanks.
- Danny, oh there you are,
I was looking for you.
I've got a few minutes thought
maybe we could get a cup of...
What's that?
It's a new thruster design,
it's what I wanted to show you.
She got 25% more horizontal
force, uses a third less power.
- You come up with that?
- Yeah.
- It's interesting
but I thought you were
working on the Navy rig.
- I'm handling it.
- Geez, Dan, we've 50
joint seals to test and fit
before the design review.
- Well I'll make the deadline Dad.
- Look Danny, I'm trusting
you with our biggest account.
You can't be spending
your time on something
we don't even know would work for us.
- Mick, they told me out
front you'd be out here.
- Oh glad you could make it.
- I'm Dan Anderson.
- Russ Stanton.
- What do you say I show you around.
- Great.
- I want you to go over
and see Dr. Carlisle,
let her have a look.
- My gynecologist.
- Yeah.
- In fact I'm gonna call her see if she
could see you right away.
- I've had my pap test, I'm
up to date on everything.
- Humor me Sunny.
- You don't think it's anything serious?
- No.
- I used to ditch grad
school to go diving.
I got fascinated with rebreathers
and personal submersibles.
Now this is our tooling and
retrofit operation here.
Eventually my advisor told
me I was gonna be booted out
of the engineering program if
I didn't stop fooling around
and turn in my thesis.
Electrical is in there,
this section over here
is where we do RND.
Hi Wendy.
- Hi.
- Wendy's coming out of accounting.
So anyone now I had one month left
and I haven't even started.
So, really desperation led me to this guy.
- Your first submersible prototype.
- Yep which led me to
this and finally to these.
Now these big boys can
go to down to 2500 feet.
- Very impressive, if
you don't mind me asking,
why do you wanna sell?
Oh it's time,
believe me I've earned it,
my wife too, I'm surprised
she didn't sue this place
for alienation of affection years ago.
- The guy I met outside,
Dan, he's your son?
- Yeah, he works in the
design section, smart kid.
I always hoped that he'd take
over the business one day
but he's still young,
working on his priorities,
if you know what I mean.
By the way, I want it
written into any agreement
that Danny has a job here
as long as he wants it.
- Sure.
- So, what's the next step?
- We do a discreet
search, we narrow it down,
we numbers crunch.
Then you meet qualified
prospects face to face.
- All right.
- So Fred's right, it's not the flu.
- No it's not the flu.
- Sunny, you're seven weeks pregnant.
- I beg your pardon.
- Well, it's not impossible is it?
- Helen, I just turned 50.
- I know that, it's
unusual but it does happen.
- I'm not pregnant, I
just started menopause,
that's why I missed my period.
What am I gonna do?
How old is the little one?
- Just turned a year.
- Close together.
- Oh you're not kidding.
- Aren't you coming?
- No thank you.
- Anybody home?
- In the kitchen.
How'd you do?
- Oh I was great I was
serving deuce ad deuce ad.
So Bill tried his little dink shot,
I charged the net and
drilled him.
Game, set, match.
So they will be taking us out for drinks
on Sunday night.
Even better Russ Stanton
called and he thinks
he can make a really great
deal for the business.
Now it's gonna take maybe a year
to find the right buyer
which to me sounds perfect.
No comment?
- Not really.
You haven't changed your mind?
- No.
- About the boat, what?
- Mick I went to Dr. Simmons
today the way you wanted.
- Oh hell.
- No, no, no, don't get all frightened,
there's nothing wrong.
- Well what's wrong then?
- I'm pregnant.
- You're kidding.
- Seven weeks.
- How the hell did that happen?
- What do you mean how
the hell did that happen?
- Weren't you using something?
- Mick, I'm 50-years-old,
I didn't think I could get pregnant.
Now many years did we try after Dan?
10 years, that's how
long, 10 years of shots
and treatments and checking the calendar
and taking my temperature
and us being devastated
when we realized I wasn't pregnant.
And now I am.
- We'll take care of this together.
How long do we have?
- I'm not sure.
- Well if it's seven weeks.
- No, I meant I'm not sure
I want to take care of it.
- That's not funny.
- I'm not trying to be funny.
- Look, you're 50-years-old, I'm older,
we're getting ready to
retire, there is nothing
to think about here.
You're upset, so am I, it's a shock,
that's why the faster we deal with this...
- Mick, what if I wanna have this baby?
- And what if I don't.
- I definitely want an amio.
- There's another test
we can get done sooner.
CVS, chorionic villus sampling,
we could get that done in the ninth week.
- Why are we even having this discussion?
50-year-old women aren't
supposed to be having babies.
- Of course, it's riskier
carrying a child to term
when you're older.
I'm not gonna pretend it's not.
Sonya's got a vertical
scar from her C-section
and we're gonna have to watch that too.
You are not in your 20's this time,
let's just say you won't
have the same spring
in your step you had before.
You'll tire more easily,
you'll feel every ache,
every pound.
In my experience most older moms do okay.
- What about down syndrome?
- The risks there are higher, no question.
But the tests will
determine whether or not
we have to worry about that.
- You don't even wanna
think about a baby do you?
- Honestly, no, I don't.
- I don't understand you we've
always wanted a second child.
- Not now, that was years ago.
- This is a tremendously
difficult decision.
It can't be resolved in a day.
I just want the two of
you to have a clear idea
of what's involved.
- Oh I think it's clear what's involved,
I'm just a sperm donor, no
one wants to hear from me.
- Don't you ever do that again.
- I'm sorry.
- Sperm donor.
- Well that's how I feel.
Do you realize how old I'd
be when the kid turns 18?
In my 70's, what happens
if there's a problem,
we're not gonna live forever.
- We don't have to live forever, Mick.
We're both healthy people.
We're strong, we could
be terrific parents,
look how much more we know now
than when we had Dan.
- Oh I see what's going on here,
you think about PTA
meetings, little league,
skinned knees and ear infections
and you get all fuzzy.
Well I think about PTA
meetings, little league
and I'm terrified.
I've done that, Sunny, old
business, I'm not there anymore.
- I'm not sure you ever were.
I'm sorry that wasn't fair.
- It was fair.
Look how it turned out with Danny and me.
I was a crumby father.
- You're not a crumby father.
- What about us, what about
everything we planned?
- Nothing has to change.
- Do you hear yourself,
nothing will change,
everything will change, Sunny everything?
What is it with you, some ego thing
that you can have a baby
when your friends can't?
- Now that's a nice thing to say.
- Sunny, all I'm asking
is that you calm down
and rationally think this through.
- I am calm.
This is my last time.
In my 20's and 30's I used to think,
oh it could still happen but it didn't,
it happened now.
This is the last time our
bodies will ever make new life.
I'm not saying that I
absolutely positively
have to have this baby.
I'm just saying that right now
I can't not have this baby.
- Hi.
Sunny what is it?
- I'm fine.
Are we supposed to deliver
the Woman's Day's Club order
or are they picking it up?
- Sunny we've known each other forever,
don't pretend with me.
- I'm pregnant.
- Oh my god, so what...
- Don't even ask the next question.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
- Well I don't have to
state the obvious do I?
I mean, you and Mick are home free.
People talk about making
their dreams come true
but I mean, you're actually
in a position of making it happen.
- That's what makes it so much harder.
Especially for him.
- You're the one who's pregnant Sunny.
- Oh I know, I'm scared, how
do you make a choice like this?
- Hey Grandma!
- Hi sweetheart.
- We're surprising Mommy
for Valentine's Day,
can we Grandma, can you make a bouquet?
- I certainly can.
- Hey Ann, you show Ben what you got?
Oh yeah, you bet ya.
You like roses?
- Yep.
- Okay.
- We have star lilies too.
- It's fine whatever.
- So, what's up?
- I came up with a new thruster design.
- That sounds good.
- It is good but my
timing was all screwed up.
Mom, I feel like every
time I try to show Dad
that I can handle things
he takes it the wrong way.
- Did you tell him that?
- You don't tell him, you listen.
He didn't have any time
anyway, Russ Stanton showed up.
I know who he is Mom.
He was just profiled in
the Wall Street Journal.
- Look, I know he wants to talk this over.
- Yeah, right.
- I'm so sorry honey.
You'll still have a job there.
- Mom.
- Look Daddy, she's gonna
be really surprised.
- Good going, come here buddy.
Good going.
We'll talk later.
- Bye Dan.
- Let's go.
- I was gonna tell him and then he throws
this new prototype at me.
And how the hell could I figure
that he'd know who Russ Stanton was?
- He's a bright boy.
- Yeah.
- Sometimes you under estimate him.
How is the prototype?
- It was great except he did it
while he was supposed to be
working on something else.
So how can I stand there
and say oh wow Dan,
that's terrific, I can't.
- He told me he screwed up.
- He did, well that's something.
- Happy Valentine's Day.
- Happy Valentine's Day to you.
- Oh, thank you.
Can I go first.
- Please.
- I'm not too greedy.
Oh honey, that is beautiful.
- I bought it before this came up.
- I better wear it quick, huh?
- Not funny.
- Let's not lose our sense of humor.
Open yours.
- Ah, I wander what this is, maybe a book.
- It's about a family that
lives on a boat, a whole family.
- Sunny.
- I'm still considering what you said.
- On who's terms?
- I just wanna have the
test, that's all just to see.
- And then what?
If I agree to that it
would just be for you,
it wouldn't mean I was
on board about a baby.
You're just buying some time Sunny.
The longer you put this off,
the harder it's gonna be.
- I know you don't mean to sound so cold.
- I don't wanna get roped
into anything, Sunny.
I don't wanna wake up one day
and you're six months pregnant
and it's too late.
But thank you for the
book, I know you mean it.
- Recording sound waves as
they bounce off the fetus.
- Mick, look.
- Normal nine week development.
This is still new to us.
We thought we were out of
the baby making business,
right honey?
- Okay you can get dressed now.
I'll call you when I get the test result.
- You should see your face.
- What?
- You want this baby.
- Oh Mick I do.
I want you to want the same thing.
- Not gonna happen.
- It will, I believe it will.
- Is that how you're justifying this,
this unilateral decision?
- Maybe I am.
This is a child we made
together, out of our love
and how we feel about each
other after all this time.
Has to be a reason, I have
to believe there's a reason.
How could we not have this baby?
- One of us is gonna have
to give on this Sunny.
You should see your face.
Have your baby Sunny but I
just can't make any promises.
- I'll be right back.
This is the last batch.
We got 40 joint seals that still need
to be anodized, urethaned.
Skip and Roger are doing the prelims.
- How do they look?
- Oh they're fine.
- Let me see the specs.
- They're fine.
- Mick.
- What are you doing here?
- Dr. Carlyle called.
- Yeah.
- It's a girl.
- No kidding.
- Everything's fine.
- Great.
- You mean it, you weren't
hoping for bad news?
- Come on Sunny give me a little credit.
- You have my word on it,
we'll still have the boat.
I'll do whatever it
takes to make it happen.
You wanna tell Dan with me, please?
- Sure.
Oh my god.
Guys congratulate me I'm
gonna have a baby sister!
- Hi Dad.
- Hi hon.
- Brought you some banana bread.
- Oh thanks, sweetheart, an old favorite.
- Oh the garden looks so beautiful.
- Oh it's terrific this year.
- Dad, did you and Mom
ever want more kids?
Like you, not on your life.
Are you trying to tell me something?
- Yes.
- Oh brother, so how far along is she?
Man that house of theirs is awful small.
- Who we talking about?
- Jenna and Dan, we're
talking about Jenna, right?
- No, Dad, we're talking about me.
I just started my third month.
- What?
- It's not impossible.
- No, no, it's just that you guys
didn't have one of those artificial...
- No Dad.
- Sorry.
- Amazing.
- It's not that amazing.
- God I wish your mother
was here for this.
- Me too.
It's gonna be a girl.
- Little girl.
How's Mick doing?
- So far Mick's just doing it for me.
- He'll come around,
what choice does he have?
A million things can go wrong with kids,
the miracle is just having one at all.
- Mick, I heard, big news.
- Yeah.
- What's the matter you don't
wanna be the oldest daddy
in your play group.
- Spare me will you, just between us guys
it's not exactly how I planned
to spend the rest of my life.
- Sunny know how you feel?
- Yeah, I'm the only fly in her ointment.
- I'm sorry.
- I'll get over it or at
least, I'm hoping I will.
- Hey look on the bright
side, it'll keep you young.
- Why does everybody keep telling me that?
- Hey Mick, congratulations.
- Thanks.
- Didn't think you had it in you.
- Hey Tony Rambles just had another one.
- He did not.
- Just what I heard and
look at Michael Douglass.
- I'd like to believe me.
- Better you than me pal.
- Hey Mick why don't you
just give me the new boat,
since you're not gonna be using it.
- Who says, we're going on
our usual Memorial Day trip.
- We are?
- Sunny, it'll be about
five and a half months long.
- This baby is gonna fold into our world,
not the other way around.
- What's she been drinking?
- Virgin Marys.
- Well, here's to dear friends
and their active retirement.
Cheers.
- Fantastic ladies,
let's try the other side.
Roll yourself slowly over,
great, keep your knees bent
and let's take that leg up and down.
Let's go a little quicker,
let's take it up and down,
up and down, that looks great.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm Sunny Andrews, I called.
- Oh hi I'm Debbie, nice to meet you.
Let's have four more of those ladies.
Looks good, three and two.
- Should I just take a mat?
- Yeah, sure hang on just a sec.
Hold it up and pulse,
pulse, pulse, little pulse,
two, three, and hold.
This is from our lawyers, anyone over 45.
Looks good and pulse, pulse
and slowly lower it down, looks great.
Thanks, you can stick that
green mat right there.
All right, lower the leg down,
we're gonna do the dip now.
Take your leg up, dip the knee down,
bring the knee back to center
and lower down, do it again.
Up, turn, turn and down.
Up, turn, turn.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- I need a hand to come about.
Wanna take the wheel?
- No I can handle this!
- Okay, ready to jive?
- Yes.
- Honey, honey.
Sweetheart.
- I'm not about to lecture you Sunny
but what were you thinking?
- I've been out on the
water a million times.
Is she all right?
- It's premature labor,
strong contractions
but no bleeding, so far
there's no fetal distress.
Your cervix isn't dilated but
we need to keep her inside.
I'm giving you a tocolytic
to relax the uterus
and stop the contractions.
You'll need to stay here for a few days
in complete bed rest.
- Bed rest.
- To and from the bathroom, up for meals
and not much else.
- The whole pregnancy?
- You can't middle this Sunny.
You know the old saying you
can't be a little pregnant.
Mick outside?
- No, now don't be angry
at him, it was my fault.
- Why do I get the feeling
this is not the whole story?
You wanna talk about it?
- No.
- Well if you do, you
know where to find me.
- I've forgotten how pretty
you are when you're pregnant.
I hope she looks just like you.
Isn't it
gonna be something Mick?
Little girls are so
crazy about their dads.
- Yeah, enough to do?
- Oh I'm sending out
flyers to your classmates
for updates, I'm making
a little reunion booklet.
And there's that is
latest in baby information
and of course I am gonna organize
30 years of family photos.
And that's just today.
- What do you think?
- Keep the one you got.
- Oh great.
And before I forget,
Ann called, I told her
you'd phone later, why didn't you tell me
that you'd hired a part-time manager?
- It's temporary, Ann
needs the help right now.
And I'm not exactly pulling my own weight.
- Don't overdo it.
- Pulling my own weight.
- Anybody here?
- In the living room.
- Hey, I'm off to going, you look good.
- Well, first thing after she's born,
I'm gonna get my hair colored.
Look at you.
- I just popped in to give
you a hug and say goodbye.
Don't you dare give
birth before we get back.
Today's the day, Africa.
- Oh my god, I can't believe I forgot.
- I'm sorry I know how
much you guys wanted to go.
I actually thought about canceling it.
- If you waited for us it
could be another 18 years.
- Yeah, Bill and I need this.
- Yeah maybe you guys can be
reminded of all the reasons
you got married in the first place.
- That's what I'm hoping.
Okay I gotta go.
Don't you think about
the store once, okay,
'cause Claire's really working out,
she's got plenty of backup, all right.
- Have a wonderful trip.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- Really?
- You lie on your back for four months,
gives you too much time to think
and feel sorry for yourself.
Would you have done this if you were me?
- Not if I wanted to hold onto
Bill but Mick's different.
Okay I'm off, you be good, I love you.
- I love you, bye.
- Bye-bye.
- Don't worry about me, I'll be all right.
- Bring me back a monkey.
- Bye.
- Did you forget something?
- Hello.
It's like Grand Central
Station, I just ran into Ann.
How you doing, you okay?
- I think so, I was just
revving up for a good cry.
- Well, don't let me stop you.
- Mick is so busy.
And I used to be gone all the time too.
Now I just lie here like a whining whale.
Okay I'm done.
This is some lucky baby.
- That is for you.
- Oh.
"Out of Africa."
- Want me to read it to you?
I had a farm in Africa at
the foot of the Negomios.
The equator runs across
these highlands 100 miles
to the north and the
farm lay at an altitude
of over 6,000 feet.
- Oh Ann, it's adorable, look, look.
- Isn't that great, I couldn't resist.
- Oh, Samantha and I thank you.
- Oh okay, I go away for two
weeks and look what happens,
you've chosen a name.
Why did you pick Samantha?
- In honor of Mick's father, Sam.
- Oh so nice.
- Look at those shoes.
Who'd a thought we'd be
doing this at our age?
- Yeah, really we should be gathering up
at the dermatologist
for collagen treatments.
- No, no, no, no, no,
he'd be taking away those
little spider veins.
- I can live with those.
I woke up one morning I
had my grandmother's arms.
- What about the stretch marks.
- Shh.
- All right let's tackle
the mysterious one.
Oh look it's a trick box.
Oh look, oh sweetheart it's perfect.
- It's a car seat.
- I wasn't born yesterday.
- Yeah that's the problem.
- Oh, oh, oh.
- What?
It's Braxton hicks, it's fine.
- It's false labor, it's been going on
for a couple of weeks now.
Everything's fine, now
what else did you bring me?
- Sunny, Sunny, Sunny, oh god.
- It's tearing, it feels
like something's tearing.
- I'm calling 911.
- Vitals are good, sponges.
- I was gonna come in here
and skate right through this.
- Scissors.
- You're doing great honey.
- You're on a pass Sunny,
if we had known your uterus had ruptured
from the old scar you
wouldn't have got a spinal,
you'd be out cold right now.
- I'm very grateful.
- You should be, suction.
Give me clamps.
- You okay?
- I'm fine.
- Last time you were stuck
in the father's waiting room.
This is progress, huh?
- I'm not so sure.
- I can see your baby.
- Is she all right?
More suction.
Would you like to do the final cutting
of your daughter's cord?
- I think I'll pass.
- She's something else.
- Oh hello Samantha, it's okay.
- Hey.
- Hey
- Sorry I'm late.
- Daddy's here, he says
he's sorry he's late.
Oh look at that, little ear.
Oh, oh, the busy hand.
Oh she's such a girl.
Wanna hold her.
- Oh no.
- She doesn't mind.
Meet Sammy.
She's been asking for you.
- I made it.
- Sit.
- Easy for you to say.
- It is like riding a bike,
you just have to slide back on.
How was your day?
- Among other things, I signed
the final papers on the boat.
- You did?
- Well you wanted me didn't
you, that was the plan?
I know I made it sound
impossible going off
on the boat with a baby.
But you're right, it's
not, nothing has to change,
at least not till she's ready for school.
- Hey, oh look who's here, Ben.
- Oh look.
- Hey little lady.
- I got her, I got her.
- Careful.
- She squeaks.
- She's almost as dainty
as her big brother.
Ben, say hello to your aunt Samantha.
Ooh that's silly,
how could she be your aunt?
That's Aunt Samantha.
What do you think?
- Sunny, Sunny look at the camera.
- I'm looking Dad, I'm looking.
Hi Dad.
- Now don't move too fast now.
- She's coming this way.
- Keep it here.
- Oh it's Grandpa.
- Say hello to Grandpa.
Say hi Grandpa.
Hi Grandpa.
- Oh it's such a oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, see Grandpa
you make her cry too.
- Come on, okay here's
Grandpa again, say hi Grandpa.
- Hi, hello world, hello.
- Okay.
- All right Dad,
that's enough, Dad, Dad, turn it off.
I got it.
- Did my dad go.
- Yeah, what would you like
me to bring for dinner?
- You have to leave so soon?
- Yeah, Russ Stanton's coming in.
Listen honey, did Danny
say anything to you
about looking for work?
- No, what makes you think that?
- I don't know, it's just a gut thing.
- Why don't you ask him.
Look you don't have to
bring anything back,
I'll have soup if I'm hungry.
- Oh thanks.
So long Sammy.
- Change your pants.
Oh my you got me more.
- We're up.
- Yes, ma'am, yes ma'am
oh look at the smile.
Oh goodness, okay, okay,
that's the girl, yes.
- Hi.
- Daddy's here.
- How's she doing?
- Fine.
It's almost 11.
- Oh I know.
Bill called just as I was leaving,
he wanted to see the boat so we swung by
on the way home.
I wanted to call but I
was afraid I'd wake you.
- I was just about to change her.
Why don't you do it.
Oh well.
Oh here, here, here, here.
It's been a long time since
I've done this little girl.
Don't expect too, oh come on.
Sunny.
- It's okay.
- Brand new one how old?
- Three weeks.
- Oh.
- We haven't been out since she was born.
I was starting to get a little crazy.
- You're welcome, first time?
- Here or her?
- Both.
- I have a grown son and a
grandson, he's six-years-old.
- Courageous aren't you?
- I knew it would be different at my age
but I didn't really get it.
- No regrets I hope.
- No regrets.
And no energy.
- I know that feeling.
I'm Leigh.
- Sunny.
- That's my daughter.
- Oh, she's darling.
- This is Samantha.
- Oh in vitro?
- No the old fashioned
way, surprise, surprise.
We're still trying to adjust,
my husband especially.
What about you?
- Oh adopted from Ecuador
and the only adjustments I have to make
are for me and for her.
I'm a single mom.
- Now that's courageous.
- I haven't found a him
yet but I wasn't gonna wait
any longer and my brother's
real involved so that helps.
And sometimes I look at my
friends and their marriages
and I think.
- You're just fine the way you are.
- Hey baby and more importantly she is.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Well, we only came
out for a few minutes,
my husband's favorite dinner
is burning in the oven.
Come back okay.
- If I can remember how to get
here, I'm so sleep deprived,
I'm like a POW.
What happened to calling
if you're gonna be late?
This is the second time this week.
- I'm sorry the time
completely got away from me.
- I told you I was making a nice dinner.
- I know, the meetings ran late.
The first buyer wants to
bring in his own people
and the second group,
this mom and pop operation
wants to relocate to San Clemente.
And then I ran into Brody and...
- Mick stop.
- I'm sorry, I knew I should have called.
- Is this it, is this what I can expect?
- I apologize for gosh sakes.
Look, I've been under a
lot of pressure lately.
- You've been under a lot of
pressure, I just had a baby!
- Okay, fine, in the
pressure department you win,
hands down.
- What is it with you?
- You know I'm not the
only one with a business,
you got a business too so
why is it I am the only one
who's selling?
- What's the hurry, we're
not setting sail tomorrow?
- Oh I can see that, I'm
getting the picture Sunny.
First, you wanna lease the boat, not buy.
Then you wanna lease the house, not sell
and now today in the middle
of a god awful meeting
with people I hated, I
realized you haven't made
any plans to sell your shop,
so I was just wondering Sunny,
are you just lying about the boat?
- Just because you had
a bad day doesn't mean...
- No, this isn't about my bad day Sunny.
We were going to retire, we had plans.
- We planned to have three
kids and a vineyard in Napa
by the time you were 30.
Things change, you're not
the only one who sacrificed.
I think she's worth it.
Are you so excited to be a sailor?
Almost there.
- Look here Sammy.
I think you're gonna like this.
Mick, it's great.
- And when she outgrows
this one I've got an idea
for an activity center
that'll go right over there.
Or maybe we'll just get a bigger boat.
- It's terrific.
- Oh, oh, oh.
- Give her a minute,
let her get used to it.
- She wants out, Mick.
- She does the same thing when you put her
in the crib at home.
- Oh Sammy, oh it's okay baby.
Would you get a rattle or the bunny.
- Maybe she's starting to teeth?
- It's too soon.
Look what Daddy found for you.
Oh what is it, come on, come on.
Let's go outside.
- I'm trying to make this work, Sunny.
I'm thinking that we can be
ready to go by next summer.
We'll take it slow, we'll
just go down the coast
and pull in the coves.
- By next summer she'll be
crawling, she'll be so fast.
- We'll put her in a harness.
That's what the family did
in the book you gave me
and we'll be with her all the time.
- And pulling four hour shifts
on the boat, sounds great.
- Is that sarcastic?
- You have to admit it's not
gonna be a piece of cake.
- This is how you wanted it.
- I know what I said but
we have to be reasonable.
By next summer, she'll
be pulling herself up.
- By next summer, she'll be an old hand.
- How can she pull herself
up when the boat is tilting?
What if she slips, what
if something hits her?
- That could all happen
just as easily at home.
- At home we are 10
minutes from a hospital.
- You don't wanna do this.
- I didn't say that.
- Everything but.
- I thought we could do this.
- No you didn't, you're a
smart woman, you knew better.
You were working me Sunny,
damn you, all this time,
you've been working me.
I shouldn't have left like that.
- We managed.
- I don't wanna lose us.
- Me either.
I'm so sorry I slept
right through the alarm
and Mick had to go in early.
- Al Bowman's coming at nine.
- Al Bowman?
- The wholesaler.
You did bring the order list?
- Oh shoot I left it at home.
I'll be back in 10 minutes.
- No there's no time, Sunny,
you knew I had this appointment.
- I'm really sorry.
Look we can go by last year's order.
I'll handle it.
- Okay, and I know it's not the best time
but I need a couple days off.
- Is everything okay?
- No not really.
- What's the matter.
- I just need the time, Friday and Monday.
- Okay.
- Okay thanks.
- She doesn't sleep.
Oh sure in the day time but
at 3 o'clock in the morning,
she's ready to boogie.
- How are you dealing with
the shop on top of all this?
- A customer came in the other day
and dropped off a brochure on narcolepsy.
My best friend hates me because
we're in business together
and I'm not pulling my weight.
And yesterday I realized I
will never go to the bathroom
alone again.
- And Mick?
- I keep hoping things will get better.
- Have you thought about a nanny?
- It just doesn't feel right.
- Well are you supposed
to do everything yourself?
- That's my job isn't it?
- Don't be ridiculous, you're
lucky you can afford it
and you're not 23 you said so yourself.
Why don't you cut yourself a little slack.
Call her, she's got
really qualified people.
It's gonna be okay.
- Yeah, just keep reminding me how noble
we vintage mothers are.
- Mom, do you want me to
take them to the printer?
- Dad will take care of it.
- I don't know why you're doing this,
it's his reunion, he volunteered.
- Well, Jenna does things for you,
it's part of being married.
- Yeah but I appreciate them.
- Lighten up on your father,
you know how busy he is.
- I do.
So what do you think the
chances will be of him
selling the business to me?
- You want the business.
- Mom, Jenna and I have talked about it
and yeah, I've done some
exploratory research.
Of course, I can't pay cash or anything.
- Pay cash for what, don't
tell me you're thinking
about buying another new car.
- No actually I was talking
about Andrews Undersea Labs.
- What?
- Well, I'm the logical buyer aren't I?
I mean, Dad when I was in
school I switched from art
to business so I could learn,
that's what you wanted.
- Well sure.
- Well, I always figured this was why.
- Yeah, but I didn't know I
was gonna be ready to retire.
- I can come up with a fourth now
and with deferred compensation,
I'll be able to service the
debt, I've done my homework.
- I can see that.
- It'll save you a big commission.
Of course, I'd expect to split it.
- Well, I'm kind of at
a loss for words here.
- Well, it's good to see I can
still surprise you old man.
I gotta go, take your time, think it over.
Sure.
- Thanks again for all your help.
- No problem.
- Did you know about this.
- No, well you got here just in time,
I have to be at the shop in 20 minutes.
- What?
- Mick why are you here.
- I just came home to change my shirt,
I'm meeting some guys at the club.
- We talked about this, you agreed.
Ann is off today and Claire
has to leave at four.
I have to go in.
- No, no, wait a minute.
- Samantha's been asleep for awhile.
There's a fresh bottle
in the refrigerator.
Oh, she'll be wet and probably poopy.
- Maybe you can take her with you.
- Can't Mick, sorry.
- Oh.
- Now be sure you don't over water it.
Enjoy your day, thanks bye-bye.
Hey, I thought you were
taking the day off.
- Bill's gone.
- What?
- This woman he works with.
- Oh Ann, I can't believe it.
- Me either, not until last week,
then I started to think
that something was wrong,
that's why I wanted the time.
Well he's been lying about everything.
- I wish I knew what to say.
- And they've using your boat.
- What?
- Mick let them use the boat.
- Are you here?
- Oh Brody what are you
doing here, where's Mick?
- He called, he's in a jam
so he asked me to babysit.
I changed her and I put her
pacifier in the freezer,
she's been a little fussy
and I know it's early
but I think she's cutting a tooth.
Yeah.
- We can always count
on Uncle Brody can't we?
Don't.
- What are you doing?
- Waiting for you.
- Oh it's late, I'm tired.
- It's always late, you're always tired.
You're never here.
You couldn't even spare time to take care
of your own daughter.
- Let's don't make a big deal out of this.
I promised Frank...
- You promised me.
- You wanna talk about broken
promises, don't do it, Sunny.
If we both kept ours we
wouldn't be fighting like this,
we wouldn't have anything to fight about.
- I think you should go stay on your boat.
You breeze in here for 30
seconds every once in awhile,
take a shower, change your clothes
and then you're gone again.
It's not working for me.
I don't wanna live like that.
- Sunny, you're being ridiculous.
- I don't think so.
I think you should move out
until you know what you want.
- Oh I know what I want,
I've been very clear
about that all along.
- You're right, you have.
And you didn't get it, you
can still have your boat
and sail around the world
and live out your fantasies
just not with me.
- Oh come on, stop it.
I'm here.
- You're not.
The only ones here are Sammy and me.
Please don't come back until you're sure
this is what you want.
No.
- Have it your way, I'll pack a bag.
- Mick, how could you
let Bill use the boat?
He's been part of my
life since junior high.
Tomorrow, I keep thinking,
he'll come home tomorrow.
- Is that what you want?
- Yeah but I want it to be the way it was.
- Before Samantha?
- Yeah.
- Can you be honest with
yourself for a minute?
- Yeah.
- What's different?
- Besides the baby?
- Yes.
- We want different things,
we always wanted the same things.
- Or you went along.
- Whatever, it worked.
Right, this is the first
time it's been my decision.
The first time I've wanted something.
- In how long?
- A lifetime.
- This is a list of the
numbers you'll need,
the doctor, my number at work,
my daughter-in-law's number
and my pager number.
- Okay.
- Your hours may change a little.
- I'm flexible.
- Since our interview my
husband has moved out.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- Well, if you were needed
before, you're a godsend now.
- I can't replace her
father, Mrs. Andrews.
- I know.
But another voice, someone to read to her,
to be there when she wakes up.
- "Goodnight Moon."
- I beg your pardon.
- Does she like "Goodnight Moon?"
- Oh, she loves it.
- Well then I think
we're on the right track.
- Goodnight nobody, goodnight mush.
And goodnight to the old
lady whispering hush.
Goodnight stars and goodnight air,
goodnight noises everywhere.
- Mom, hey is Dad around?
I think I can come up with
some more float money.
Mom what's wrong?
A little late for post-baby
blues, wanna share?
- Your dad hasn't talked to you?
- No, what's the matter.
- He's on the boat.
He's staying on the boat.
- What?
- He moved out.
- He left you and the baby?
- I told him to go.
- Well why did you do that?
Never mind I know why, I'm sorry.
I gotta go.
- Dan, you calm down
before you talk to him.
- He needs to hear this.
- Danny?
- You selfish bastard,
what were you thinking?
- Come on this isn't
the time or the place.
- Take a break.
- Now just a minute here.
- Go on take a break.
- It's okay guys go ahead.
We'll catch up tomorrow.
Who the hell do you think you are?
- You are a real sorry bastard.
Look at you with your big fancy boat.
- I've earned this boat, I've
worked hard my whole life.
- Oh I know I've heard you plenty.
Who cares how hard you worked Dad.
It didn't turn out like
you wanted so who cares.
- You don't know squat about hard work,
I made it too easy for you.
And you were always taking,
you always had your hand out.
- Because that's all you had to offer.
How long you been here?
How long have you been living on the boat,
simple question Dad?
- About a week.
- A week.
You've been going to work, doing business,
having meetings, sending memos.
- This is private,
between your Mom and me.
- No, no don't put this off on Mom.
She might have told you to leave
but she had a damn good reason.
Do you think that Jenna and I
and everyone else haven't noticed
how disappointed you look?
You think you're hiding
how much you blame her?
You might have spoiled me but look at you.
Look at you the minute you
don't get everything you want,
the minute you're not
calling all the shots,
you're out of there.
My Dad, my hero, have
fun on your boat captain.
Captain of nothing,
that's what you earned.
- Hi.
- I rang the bell and nobody answered.
So I saw your car, I
figured you'd be out here.
I heard, sorry.
- Thanks.
- I'm gonna miss you
tomorrow at the reunion.
- Yeah, well it's not my class anyway,
you people are old.
Don't remind me.
- I'll miss it too thanks.
- You seeing him?
- Not really, he's coming by today
to pick up the baby.
- I am really not good with words.
I never told you how I felt about you.
Not really.
- Don't Brody.
- No I want to, I kept
my big mouth shut before,
it's the worst mistake
I ever made in my life.
- I'm not so sure of that.
- I am.
I always thought that
you were gonna be there
and then one day you weren't.
I was always my best self with you.
- Brody I'm still married.
- I know that.
I'm just saying that, if anything changes,
and you're not.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hey little girl.
Ooh you're getting heavy.
- Don't forget her bag.
- You look good.
- Thanks.
- Did you get the check.
- Oh yeah, thanks.
- How's the nanny working out?
- She's fine.
- Good.
- I hate to see you burning
all your bridges at once.
- What are you talking about?
- Dan, he has done everything he can
to earn your respect.
He quit art school, he
learned your business
and he learned it well for you.
And you still treat him
like an ungrateful kid.
Don't let him down this time Mick,
you'll lose him too.
I don't have to give you
instructions on her do I?
- No.
I'll have her back by five, say bye-bye.
- Bye-bye baby.
- You guys have done a wonderful job.
- Sunny did every bit of this,
don't give me any credit.
- Trust me we won't.
- Ah, Danny how'd it go?
- Adequate, but there's still some work
to be done on the seams.
How's your weekend?
- Fine I had the baby for most of Friday.
- Yeah, first time alone?
- Yeah, I suck at it, I always did.
- Well, you said it I didn't.
- I need you to take over
here for a couple of days.
- What's wrong?
- Nothing, I'm gonna take the boat out.
- Why didn't I guess.
- You know you don't
know everything about me.
- I know enough.
- All I know is work.
After my dad died we found out
he let his life insurance
lapse, he didn't have a dime.
God I resented him, I had
to work just to put food
on the table.
I lied about it at school,
I wasn't ready to be
the head of the family,
I just wanted to be a kid.
And I never let anybody
know how bad it was,
not even your mom.
But I told myself that I would
never do that to my child,
that I would never give him
that kind of responsibility,
that kind of fear.
I just wanted you to feel
safe, to feel secure.
- I just wanted a dad.
- I know and I look at you now with Ben
and I see the man, the father
that I wish I could have been
for you, Danny and I'm sorry.
That's what I came to say I'm sorry.
- Okay, I appreciate it.
- And I can't change what's over
but I was hoping we could
give it another try.
- What do you mean?
- We could work something out.
I looked over your offer,
you did a good job,
it's a good plan, but I figure
maybe I'm just not ready
to let go all the way yet.
Maybe we could partner up for awhile?
- Well I don't know
sometimes we can barely
be in the same room together.
- Not with me running the show, I swear
but us together, spending time together.
Like I said I can't go back
but I'd sure like a shot
at getting to know the man you are now.
- I don't know.
- Well, that's okay, this
time you think about it.
- Dad.
- Yeah?
- Take your time on the boat,
I can handle things here.
- I know you can.
I do know you can.
- Night, night, love you.
Rosemary?
- I wanna come home.
- Not the way it was.
- Not the way it was.
I just don't know where to start.
- Why don't you start with the truth.
- The truth.
The truth is you asked me to leave.
- And the truth is you wanted to go.
You were relieved, you were off the hook.
- I never let myself off the hook
but you're right.
I was relieved.
- Then why are you here?
You want your boat, your
trip around the world.
- I thought I did, but it
wasn't really the boat I wanted,
it was being with you.
My life doesn't mean
anything without you Sunny.
I'm so scared of screwing up
the way I screwed up with Dan.
- Is that what you think you did?
- Oh that's what I know I did.
Everything he is and he's a great kid
is because of you.
- No everything he is is
because of him and us.
I couldn't have done it without you.
- I love you Sunny and I wanna come home.
With no more holding back and no more
skipping out on the hard parts.
- She doesn't sleep, not the
way she's supposed to anyway.
- Let me try.
Maybe they're right, maybe
Samantha's gonna keep us young.
I'm glad you feel that way.
You can take the 4 a.m. feeding.
I found in the galley.
- Oh wow.
- Thanks.
- So, what do you think, you like her?
- She's beautiful, a little cramped below.
- Well, they're all a little cozy
but I'm kinda looking
forward to that.
- I hope you're still saying
that after a year at sea.
- To you.
- To us.
- This salt air is making me
hungry, how about you captain?
- Starved.
- Well where shall we go to dinner?
- Well, it's your birthday, you choose.
- How about De Brosa, it's still early.
- I don't know I'm not
sure I'm dressed for it.
You really wanna go downtown?
- All right, let's just
go over to the Yacht Club.
- That's a good idea.
- I can't believe it.
- What?
- You almost let me pick the restaurant.
- I always do.
- No you don't,
you pretend you do but you don't.
- When, when did I ever do that?
- When did you not?
- Sunny, you're right, can't fool you.
- It's about time you figured that out.
- Surprise!
- Can't fool you?
- Oh I'll get you for this.
- I surely hope so.
- What a nice surprise.
We weren't suppose to have a party.
Listen, listen, listen,
I'm not 50, I'm 49.95.
Ann, that's hysterical.
- Well good 'cause I got one just like it
but mine says I'm not 50.
I'm just kidding.
- Oh I am appalled.
- Oh, no actually how
do you look so great?
- Genetics, my side of the family.
- Oh you're so modest.
- Thanks Dad.
- A toast, to the world's
most incredible mother,
happy birthday.
Ah.
- And my offering, a
raspberry truffle surprise.
- Brody, I shouldn't even smell it.
- Oh come on honey.
- Did you make it?
- Yes I did.
- Just take a look.
- Mick put me up to it.
- Africa, safari.
- Can't fool you.
- Oh it's what I always wanted.
Oh thank you.
- Happy birthday honey.
- We've been dying to tell you for months,
it'll be the longest
double date we've ever had.
- You're going too?
- We've already packed our bags.
- Hey can you guys watch your grandson
for a couple of hours tomorrow?
- Oh we're taking a boat
in the morning, afternoon?
- Sure.
- Great thanks.
- See you later.
- Okay.
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you honey.
- Drive carefully.
- Hey Mick, I almost
forgot, the master list
for the college reunion, which
you are organizing, remember?
- No.
- You agreed last time.
- That was ages ago.
- Ah, don't worry about it,
you've got almost a year to get it done.
- Your timing stinks Brody.
- Yeah, I know that's how
you wound up with the girl.
- Needless.
- Goodnight Brody.
- Turkey.
So, did you have a happy birthday?
- Oh.
- I wouldn't change a
thing about our life.
- And it's only the beginning.
You know what they say
life begins at 49.95.
Really and what do you think
is in store for us.
- Well, after Africa, we sell the house,
we sell the business and we go
on the most exclusive cruise
in the world, just the two of us.
Down the coast, through the Panama Canal,
up the eastern seaboard
and then the tricky part,
navigating the Atlantic.
All the stuff we talked
about since we were kids.
- "National Geographic".
- Yep, under the covers
with the flashlight.
- You sure it wasn't "20,000
Leagues Under the Sea?"
God I hope not.
- You know what maybe we should just
lease the house, so we'd
have a place to come back to,
just in case.
- In case of what?
- I don't know, just in
case we don't like it.
- What's not to like.
Hey wanna see what else
I can do under the cover?
- You need a flashlight?
- Not this time.
- Oh.
- The hull's cord, made
to withstand 20 foot seas,
halyards and winches are all good.
I got two of everything on board
and all the system manuals.
And if you decide to buy her,
I'm gonna pull a her out again
and scrape the keel.
Wanna take her?
- Honey, want to?
- I hear you're going around the world.
- Yeah, that's the plan next year.
- Yeah, it's our dream.
We've been sailing off
and on for about 20 years,
mostly day trips, couple
of times to Victoria.
- Well, she'll get you
to wherever you wanna go.
- Mick.
- Sunny?
Honey, are you okay, come on.
- Oh that was embarrassing,
I never get sea sick.
- You all right now?
- Yeah.
- What do you think?
- It's getting more real.
- So?
- Maybe we could lease it.
- Lease it?
- With an option to buy.
That way we can find
out if we really wanna,
if this is really the boat for us.
- Sunny, we're not leasing the boat
and we're not leasing the house.
Now are you with me on this or what?
- Of course I'm with you.
- Let's get you home.
- Faster, Grandpa, faster.
- Faster, whew, I think
this horsey's ready
to be put out to pasture you rotten kid.
You're getting to be too big.
- I'm only six.
- Don't you let him call you a rotten kid.
- Grandma said to not
call me a rotten kid.
- Wanna see a movie tonight?
- Can I go?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, two, two.
- No dysfunctional families,
I can get that at home.
- I love dysfunctional families.
- Who says you're going?
- Can I?
- You have school tomorrow.
- I can skip it.
- Ben!
Hey look what I got.
- What do you feed that kid, coffee beans?
- Was he okay?
- He was great.
I'm a little disappointed, I
thought you'd be gone longer.
- Oh well we split things up,
I did the shopping while
Dan went to the office.
- The office, on Sunday?
- Yeah, I got something to show you,
you got some time tomorrow?
- Sure, catch me first
thing in the morning.
No, no, I'm gonna be out of the office,
after lunch, no, that won't work either.
Look, just talk to Vicki
and get it on the calendar.
- Come on Dad, try and get it.
- Come on we gotta go
get the groceries in.
We'll play later.
- Thanks again Mom.
- We'll see you.
- Bye Grandma maybe next time
we can go to the movies, okay?
- Okay.
- So when you get back I'll take a number.
- You're that busy?
- Oh don't start.
- Did you see his face?
He just wants to show you something.
- Are we going to the movies or what?
- You didn't tell him about
selling the company, did you?
- I'm waiting for the right moment.
- Waiting or avoiding?
- I'll handle it, I don't
wanna scare the kid,
now come on, let's go to the movies.
- Sunny, you have got to
call Dr. Simmons today.
- It's just a bug, everybody's got it.
- Well, this damn bug
has gone on for too long.
Now promise me you'll call him okay?
- I will if you will.
- Will what?
- Talk to Dan.
- Okay.
- What are you gonna say?
- Just that we've thought this through,
it's part of our long range plans
and not to worry whoever
buys, I'll make sure he always
has a job there, you happy now?
- Yeah.
- Feel better okay?
- I already do.
- And by the way I'll be late for dinner,
I'm playing tennis with Bill.
- How long can you guys be at sea
without pulling into a port.
- As long as we want, within reason.
- Sounds like heaven.
- Just between you and
me, sometimes I wander
what we'll do all day.
I mean, after we have our
coffee and raise the sails,
we won't even have a newspaper.
- Books, you love to
read, take up knitting.
- I could do that.
Look I have to run over to
the doctor at lunchtime,
can you stay in?
- Sure, everything okay?
- I think so.
- You never get sick.
- I'm not sick, I think
it's a little virus.
I promised Mick I'd have it checked out.
Don't worry I'll be back by the time
you've finished 30 more of these.
Thanks.
- Danny, oh there you are,
I was looking for you.
I've got a few minutes thought
maybe we could get a cup of...
What's that?
It's a new thruster design,
it's what I wanted to show you.
She got 25% more horizontal
force, uses a third less power.
- You come up with that?
- Yeah.
- It's interesting
but I thought you were
working on the Navy rig.
- I'm handling it.
- Geez, Dan, we've 50
joint seals to test and fit
before the design review.
- Well I'll make the deadline Dad.
- Look Danny, I'm trusting
you with our biggest account.
You can't be spending
your time on something
we don't even know would work for us.
- Mick, they told me out
front you'd be out here.
- Oh glad you could make it.
- I'm Dan Anderson.
- Russ Stanton.
- What do you say I show you around.
- Great.
- I want you to go over
and see Dr. Carlisle,
let her have a look.
- My gynecologist.
- Yeah.
- In fact I'm gonna call her see if she
could see you right away.
- I've had my pap test, I'm
up to date on everything.
- Humor me Sunny.
- You don't think it's anything serious?
- No.
- I used to ditch grad
school to go diving.
I got fascinated with rebreathers
and personal submersibles.
Now this is our tooling and
retrofit operation here.
Eventually my advisor told
me I was gonna be booted out
of the engineering program if
I didn't stop fooling around
and turn in my thesis.
Electrical is in there,
this section over here
is where we do RND.
Hi Wendy.
- Hi.
- Wendy's coming out of accounting.
So anyone now I had one month left
and I haven't even started.
So, really desperation led me to this guy.
- Your first submersible prototype.
- Yep which led me to
this and finally to these.
Now these big boys can
go to down to 2500 feet.
- Very impressive, if
you don't mind me asking,
why do you wanna sell?
Oh it's time,
believe me I've earned it,
my wife too, I'm surprised
she didn't sue this place
for alienation of affection years ago.
- The guy I met outside,
Dan, he's your son?
- Yeah, he works in the
design section, smart kid.
I always hoped that he'd take
over the business one day
but he's still young,
working on his priorities,
if you know what I mean.
By the way, I want it
written into any agreement
that Danny has a job here
as long as he wants it.
- Sure.
- So, what's the next step?
- We do a discreet
search, we narrow it down,
we numbers crunch.
Then you meet qualified
prospects face to face.
- All right.
- So Fred's right, it's not the flu.
- No it's not the flu.
- Sunny, you're seven weeks pregnant.
- I beg your pardon.
- Well, it's not impossible is it?
- Helen, I just turned 50.
- I know that, it's
unusual but it does happen.
- I'm not pregnant, I
just started menopause,
that's why I missed my period.
What am I gonna do?
How old is the little one?
- Just turned a year.
- Close together.
- Oh you're not kidding.
- Aren't you coming?
- No thank you.
- Anybody home?
- In the kitchen.
How'd you do?
- Oh I was great I was
serving deuce ad deuce ad.
So Bill tried his little dink shot,
I charged the net and
drilled him.
Game, set, match.
So they will be taking us out for drinks
on Sunday night.
Even better Russ Stanton
called and he thinks
he can make a really great
deal for the business.
Now it's gonna take maybe a year
to find the right buyer
which to me sounds perfect.
No comment?
- Not really.
You haven't changed your mind?
- No.
- About the boat, what?
- Mick I went to Dr. Simmons
today the way you wanted.
- Oh hell.
- No, no, no, don't get all frightened,
there's nothing wrong.
- Well what's wrong then?
- I'm pregnant.
- You're kidding.
- Seven weeks.
- How the hell did that happen?
- What do you mean how
the hell did that happen?
- Weren't you using something?
- Mick, I'm 50-years-old,
I didn't think I could get pregnant.
Now many years did we try after Dan?
10 years, that's how
long, 10 years of shots
and treatments and checking the calendar
and taking my temperature
and us being devastated
when we realized I wasn't pregnant.
And now I am.
- We'll take care of this together.
How long do we have?
- I'm not sure.
- Well if it's seven weeks.
- No, I meant I'm not sure
I want to take care of it.
- That's not funny.
- I'm not trying to be funny.
- Look, you're 50-years-old, I'm older,
we're getting ready to
retire, there is nothing
to think about here.
You're upset, so am I, it's a shock,
that's why the faster we deal with this...
- Mick, what if I wanna have this baby?
- And what if I don't.
- I definitely want an amio.
- There's another test
we can get done sooner.
CVS, chorionic villus sampling,
we could get that done in the ninth week.
- Why are we even having this discussion?
50-year-old women aren't
supposed to be having babies.
- Of course, it's riskier
carrying a child to term
when you're older.
I'm not gonna pretend it's not.
Sonya's got a vertical
scar from her C-section
and we're gonna have to watch that too.
You are not in your 20's this time,
let's just say you won't
have the same spring
in your step you had before.
You'll tire more easily,
you'll feel every ache,
every pound.
In my experience most older moms do okay.
- What about down syndrome?
- The risks there are higher, no question.
But the tests will
determine whether or not
we have to worry about that.
- You don't even wanna
think about a baby do you?
- Honestly, no, I don't.
- I don't understand you we've
always wanted a second child.
- Not now, that was years ago.
- This is a tremendously
difficult decision.
It can't be resolved in a day.
I just want the two of
you to have a clear idea
of what's involved.
- Oh I think it's clear what's involved,
I'm just a sperm donor, no
one wants to hear from me.
- Don't you ever do that again.
- I'm sorry.
- Sperm donor.
- Well that's how I feel.
Do you realize how old I'd
be when the kid turns 18?
In my 70's, what happens
if there's a problem,
we're not gonna live forever.
- We don't have to live forever, Mick.
We're both healthy people.
We're strong, we could
be terrific parents,
look how much more we know now
than when we had Dan.
- Oh I see what's going on here,
you think about PTA
meetings, little league,
skinned knees and ear infections
and you get all fuzzy.
Well I think about PTA
meetings, little league
and I'm terrified.
I've done that, Sunny, old
business, I'm not there anymore.
- I'm not sure you ever were.
I'm sorry that wasn't fair.
- It was fair.
Look how it turned out with Danny and me.
I was a crumby father.
- You're not a crumby father.
- What about us, what about
everything we planned?
- Nothing has to change.
- Do you hear yourself,
nothing will change,
everything will change, Sunny everything?
What is it with you, some ego thing
that you can have a baby
when your friends can't?
- Now that's a nice thing to say.
- Sunny, all I'm asking
is that you calm down
and rationally think this through.
- I am calm.
This is my last time.
In my 20's and 30's I used to think,
oh it could still happen but it didn't,
it happened now.
This is the last time our
bodies will ever make new life.
I'm not saying that I
absolutely positively
have to have this baby.
I'm just saying that right now
I can't not have this baby.
- Hi.
Sunny what is it?
- I'm fine.
Are we supposed to deliver
the Woman's Day's Club order
or are they picking it up?
- Sunny we've known each other forever,
don't pretend with me.
- I'm pregnant.
- Oh my god, so what...
- Don't even ask the next question.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
- Well I don't have to
state the obvious do I?
I mean, you and Mick are home free.
People talk about making
their dreams come true
but I mean, you're actually
in a position of making it happen.
- That's what makes it so much harder.
Especially for him.
- You're the one who's pregnant Sunny.
- Oh I know, I'm scared, how
do you make a choice like this?
- Hey Grandma!
- Hi sweetheart.
- We're surprising Mommy
for Valentine's Day,
can we Grandma, can you make a bouquet?
- I certainly can.
- Hey Ann, you show Ben what you got?
Oh yeah, you bet ya.
You like roses?
- Yep.
- Okay.
- We have star lilies too.
- It's fine whatever.
- So, what's up?
- I came up with a new thruster design.
- That sounds good.
- It is good but my
timing was all screwed up.
Mom, I feel like every
time I try to show Dad
that I can handle things
he takes it the wrong way.
- Did you tell him that?
- You don't tell him, you listen.
He didn't have any time
anyway, Russ Stanton showed up.
I know who he is Mom.
He was just profiled in
the Wall Street Journal.
- Look, I know he wants to talk this over.
- Yeah, right.
- I'm so sorry honey.
You'll still have a job there.
- Mom.
- Look Daddy, she's gonna
be really surprised.
- Good going, come here buddy.
Good going.
We'll talk later.
- Bye Dan.
- Let's go.
- I was gonna tell him and then he throws
this new prototype at me.
And how the hell could I figure
that he'd know who Russ Stanton was?
- He's a bright boy.
- Yeah.
- Sometimes you under estimate him.
How is the prototype?
- It was great except he did it
while he was supposed to be
working on something else.
So how can I stand there
and say oh wow Dan,
that's terrific, I can't.
- He told me he screwed up.
- He did, well that's something.
- Happy Valentine's Day.
- Happy Valentine's Day to you.
- Oh, thank you.
Can I go first.
- Please.
- I'm not too greedy.
Oh honey, that is beautiful.
- I bought it before this came up.
- I better wear it quick, huh?
- Not funny.
- Let's not lose our sense of humor.
Open yours.
- Ah, I wander what this is, maybe a book.
- It's about a family that
lives on a boat, a whole family.
- Sunny.
- I'm still considering what you said.
- On who's terms?
- I just wanna have the
test, that's all just to see.
- And then what?
If I agree to that it
would just be for you,
it wouldn't mean I was
on board about a baby.
You're just buying some time Sunny.
The longer you put this off,
the harder it's gonna be.
- I know you don't mean to sound so cold.
- I don't wanna get roped
into anything, Sunny.
I don't wanna wake up one day
and you're six months pregnant
and it's too late.
But thank you for the
book, I know you mean it.
- Recording sound waves as
they bounce off the fetus.
- Mick, look.
- Normal nine week development.
This is still new to us.
We thought we were out of
the baby making business,
right honey?
- Okay you can get dressed now.
I'll call you when I get the test result.
- You should see your face.
- What?
- You want this baby.
- Oh Mick I do.
I want you to want the same thing.
- Not gonna happen.
- It will, I believe it will.
- Is that how you're justifying this,
this unilateral decision?
- Maybe I am.
This is a child we made
together, out of our love
and how we feel about each
other after all this time.
Has to be a reason, I have
to believe there's a reason.
How could we not have this baby?
- One of us is gonna have
to give on this Sunny.
You should see your face.
Have your baby Sunny but I
just can't make any promises.
- I'll be right back.
This is the last batch.
We got 40 joint seals that still need
to be anodized, urethaned.
Skip and Roger are doing the prelims.
- How do they look?
- Oh they're fine.
- Let me see the specs.
- They're fine.
- Mick.
- What are you doing here?
- Dr. Carlyle called.
- Yeah.
- It's a girl.
- No kidding.
- Everything's fine.
- Great.
- You mean it, you weren't
hoping for bad news?
- Come on Sunny give me a little credit.
- You have my word on it,
we'll still have the boat.
I'll do whatever it
takes to make it happen.
You wanna tell Dan with me, please?
- Sure.
Oh my god.
Guys congratulate me I'm
gonna have a baby sister!
- Hi Dad.
- Hi hon.
- Brought you some banana bread.
- Oh thanks, sweetheart, an old favorite.
- Oh the garden looks so beautiful.
- Oh it's terrific this year.
- Dad, did you and Mom
ever want more kids?
Like you, not on your life.
Are you trying to tell me something?
- Yes.
- Oh brother, so how far along is she?
Man that house of theirs is awful small.
- Who we talking about?
- Jenna and Dan, we're
talking about Jenna, right?
- No, Dad, we're talking about me.
I just started my third month.
- What?
- It's not impossible.
- No, no, it's just that you guys
didn't have one of those artificial...
- No Dad.
- Sorry.
- Amazing.
- It's not that amazing.
- God I wish your mother
was here for this.
- Me too.
It's gonna be a girl.
- Little girl.
How's Mick doing?
- So far Mick's just doing it for me.
- He'll come around,
what choice does he have?
A million things can go wrong with kids,
the miracle is just having one at all.
- Mick, I heard, big news.
- Yeah.
- What's the matter you don't
wanna be the oldest daddy
in your play group.
- Spare me will you, just between us guys
it's not exactly how I planned
to spend the rest of my life.
- Sunny know how you feel?
- Yeah, I'm the only fly in her ointment.
- I'm sorry.
- I'll get over it or at
least, I'm hoping I will.
- Hey look on the bright
side, it'll keep you young.
- Why does everybody keep telling me that?
- Hey Mick, congratulations.
- Thanks.
- Didn't think you had it in you.
- Hey Tony Rambles just had another one.
- He did not.
- Just what I heard and
look at Michael Douglass.
- I'd like to believe me.
- Better you than me pal.
- Hey Mick why don't you
just give me the new boat,
since you're not gonna be using it.
- Who says, we're going on
our usual Memorial Day trip.
- We are?
- Sunny, it'll be about
five and a half months long.
- This baby is gonna fold into our world,
not the other way around.
- What's she been drinking?
- Virgin Marys.
- Well, here's to dear friends
and their active retirement.
Cheers.
- Fantastic ladies,
let's try the other side.
Roll yourself slowly over,
great, keep your knees bent
and let's take that leg up and down.
Let's go a little quicker,
let's take it up and down,
up and down, that looks great.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm Sunny Andrews, I called.
- Oh hi I'm Debbie, nice to meet you.
Let's have four more of those ladies.
Looks good, three and two.
- Should I just take a mat?
- Yeah, sure hang on just a sec.
Hold it up and pulse,
pulse, pulse, little pulse,
two, three, and hold.
This is from our lawyers, anyone over 45.
Looks good and pulse, pulse
and slowly lower it down, looks great.
Thanks, you can stick that
green mat right there.
All right, lower the leg down,
we're gonna do the dip now.
Take your leg up, dip the knee down,
bring the knee back to center
and lower down, do it again.
Up, turn, turn and down.
Up, turn, turn.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- I need a hand to come about.
Wanna take the wheel?
- No I can handle this!
- Okay, ready to jive?
- Yes.
- Honey, honey.
Sweetheart.
- I'm not about to lecture you Sunny
but what were you thinking?
- I've been out on the
water a million times.
Is she all right?
- It's premature labor,
strong contractions
but no bleeding, so far
there's no fetal distress.
Your cervix isn't dilated but
we need to keep her inside.
I'm giving you a tocolytic
to relax the uterus
and stop the contractions.
You'll need to stay here for a few days
in complete bed rest.
- Bed rest.
- To and from the bathroom, up for meals
and not much else.
- The whole pregnancy?
- You can't middle this Sunny.
You know the old saying you
can't be a little pregnant.
Mick outside?
- No, now don't be angry
at him, it was my fault.
- Why do I get the feeling
this is not the whole story?
You wanna talk about it?
- No.
- Well if you do, you
know where to find me.
- I've forgotten how pretty
you are when you're pregnant.
I hope she looks just like you.
Isn't it
gonna be something Mick?
Little girls are so
crazy about their dads.
- Yeah, enough to do?
- Oh I'm sending out
flyers to your classmates
for updates, I'm making
a little reunion booklet.
And there's that is
latest in baby information
and of course I am gonna organize
30 years of family photos.
And that's just today.
- What do you think?
- Keep the one you got.
- Oh great.
And before I forget,
Ann called, I told her
you'd phone later, why didn't you tell me
that you'd hired a part-time manager?
- It's temporary, Ann
needs the help right now.
And I'm not exactly pulling my own weight.
- Don't overdo it.
- Pulling my own weight.
- Anybody here?
- In the living room.
- Hey, I'm off to going, you look good.
- Well, first thing after she's born,
I'm gonna get my hair colored.
Look at you.
- I just popped in to give
you a hug and say goodbye.
Don't you dare give
birth before we get back.
Today's the day, Africa.
- Oh my god, I can't believe I forgot.
- I'm sorry I know how
much you guys wanted to go.
I actually thought about canceling it.
- If you waited for us it
could be another 18 years.
- Yeah, Bill and I need this.
- Yeah maybe you guys can be
reminded of all the reasons
you got married in the first place.
- That's what I'm hoping.
Okay I gotta go.
Don't you think about
the store once, okay,
'cause Claire's really working out,
she's got plenty of backup, all right.
- Have a wonderful trip.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- Really?
- You lie on your back for four months,
gives you too much time to think
and feel sorry for yourself.
Would you have done this if you were me?
- Not if I wanted to hold onto
Bill but Mick's different.
Okay I'm off, you be good, I love you.
- I love you, bye.
- Bye-bye.
- Don't worry about me, I'll be all right.
- Bring me back a monkey.
- Bye.
- Did you forget something?
- Hello.
It's like Grand Central
Station, I just ran into Ann.
How you doing, you okay?
- I think so, I was just
revving up for a good cry.
- Well, don't let me stop you.
- Mick is so busy.
And I used to be gone all the time too.
Now I just lie here like a whining whale.
Okay I'm done.
This is some lucky baby.
- That is for you.
- Oh.
"Out of Africa."
- Want me to read it to you?
I had a farm in Africa at
the foot of the Negomios.
The equator runs across
these highlands 100 miles
to the north and the
farm lay at an altitude
of over 6,000 feet.
- Oh Ann, it's adorable, look, look.
- Isn't that great, I couldn't resist.
- Oh, Samantha and I thank you.
- Oh okay, I go away for two
weeks and look what happens,
you've chosen a name.
Why did you pick Samantha?
- In honor of Mick's father, Sam.
- Oh so nice.
- Look at those shoes.
Who'd a thought we'd be
doing this at our age?
- Yeah, really we should be gathering up
at the dermatologist
for collagen treatments.
- No, no, no, no, no,
he'd be taking away those
little spider veins.
- I can live with those.
I woke up one morning I
had my grandmother's arms.
- What about the stretch marks.
- Shh.
- All right let's tackle
the mysterious one.
Oh look it's a trick box.
Oh look, oh sweetheart it's perfect.
- It's a car seat.
- I wasn't born yesterday.
- Yeah that's the problem.
- Oh, oh, oh.
- What?
It's Braxton hicks, it's fine.
- It's false labor, it's been going on
for a couple of weeks now.
Everything's fine, now
what else did you bring me?
- Sunny, Sunny, Sunny, oh god.
- It's tearing, it feels
like something's tearing.
- I'm calling 911.
- Vitals are good, sponges.
- I was gonna come in here
and skate right through this.
- Scissors.
- You're doing great honey.
- You're on a pass Sunny,
if we had known your uterus had ruptured
from the old scar you
wouldn't have got a spinal,
you'd be out cold right now.
- I'm very grateful.
- You should be, suction.
Give me clamps.
- You okay?
- I'm fine.
- Last time you were stuck
in the father's waiting room.
This is progress, huh?
- I'm not so sure.
- I can see your baby.
- Is she all right?
More suction.
Would you like to do the final cutting
of your daughter's cord?
- I think I'll pass.
- She's something else.
- Oh hello Samantha, it's okay.
- Hey.
- Hey
- Sorry I'm late.
- Daddy's here, he says
he's sorry he's late.
Oh look at that, little ear.
Oh, oh, the busy hand.
Oh she's such a girl.
Wanna hold her.
- Oh no.
- She doesn't mind.
Meet Sammy.
She's been asking for you.
- I made it.
- Sit.
- Easy for you to say.
- It is like riding a bike,
you just have to slide back on.
How was your day?
- Among other things, I signed
the final papers on the boat.
- You did?
- Well you wanted me didn't
you, that was the plan?
I know I made it sound
impossible going off
on the boat with a baby.
But you're right, it's
not, nothing has to change,
at least not till she's ready for school.
- Hey, oh look who's here, Ben.
- Oh look.
- Hey little lady.
- I got her, I got her.
- Careful.
- She squeaks.
- She's almost as dainty
as her big brother.
Ben, say hello to your aunt Samantha.
Ooh that's silly,
how could she be your aunt?
That's Aunt Samantha.
What do you think?
- Sunny, Sunny look at the camera.
- I'm looking Dad, I'm looking.
Hi Dad.
- Now don't move too fast now.
- She's coming this way.
- Keep it here.
- Oh it's Grandpa.
- Say hello to Grandpa.
Say hi Grandpa.
Hi Grandpa.
- Oh it's such a oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, see Grandpa
you make her cry too.
- Come on, okay here's
Grandpa again, say hi Grandpa.
- Hi, hello world, hello.
- Okay.
- All right Dad,
that's enough, Dad, Dad, turn it off.
I got it.
- Did my dad go.
- Yeah, what would you like
me to bring for dinner?
- You have to leave so soon?
- Yeah, Russ Stanton's coming in.
Listen honey, did Danny
say anything to you
about looking for work?
- No, what makes you think that?
- I don't know, it's just a gut thing.
- Why don't you ask him.
Look you don't have to
bring anything back,
I'll have soup if I'm hungry.
- Oh thanks.
So long Sammy.
- Change your pants.
Oh my you got me more.
- We're up.
- Yes, ma'am, yes ma'am
oh look at the smile.
Oh goodness, okay, okay,
that's the girl, yes.
- Hi.
- Daddy's here.
- How's she doing?
- Fine.
It's almost 11.
- Oh I know.
Bill called just as I was leaving,
he wanted to see the boat so we swung by
on the way home.
I wanted to call but I
was afraid I'd wake you.
- I was just about to change her.
Why don't you do it.
Oh well.
Oh here, here, here, here.
It's been a long time since
I've done this little girl.
Don't expect too, oh come on.
Sunny.
- It's okay.
- Brand new one how old?
- Three weeks.
- Oh.
- We haven't been out since she was born.
I was starting to get a little crazy.
- You're welcome, first time?
- Here or her?
- Both.
- I have a grown son and a
grandson, he's six-years-old.
- Courageous aren't you?
- I knew it would be different at my age
but I didn't really get it.
- No regrets I hope.
- No regrets.
And no energy.
- I know that feeling.
I'm Leigh.
- Sunny.
- That's my daughter.
- Oh, she's darling.
- This is Samantha.
- Oh in vitro?
- No the old fashioned
way, surprise, surprise.
We're still trying to adjust,
my husband especially.
What about you?
- Oh adopted from Ecuador
and the only adjustments I have to make
are for me and for her.
I'm a single mom.
- Now that's courageous.
- I haven't found a him
yet but I wasn't gonna wait
any longer and my brother's
real involved so that helps.
And sometimes I look at my
friends and their marriages
and I think.
- You're just fine the way you are.
- Hey baby and more importantly she is.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Well, we only came
out for a few minutes,
my husband's favorite dinner
is burning in the oven.
Come back okay.
- If I can remember how to get
here, I'm so sleep deprived,
I'm like a POW.
What happened to calling
if you're gonna be late?
This is the second time this week.
- I'm sorry the time
completely got away from me.
- I told you I was making a nice dinner.
- I know, the meetings ran late.
The first buyer wants to
bring in his own people
and the second group,
this mom and pop operation
wants to relocate to San Clemente.
And then I ran into Brody and...
- Mick stop.
- I'm sorry, I knew I should have called.
- Is this it, is this what I can expect?
- I apologize for gosh sakes.
Look, I've been under a
lot of pressure lately.
- You've been under a lot of
pressure, I just had a baby!
- Okay, fine, in the
pressure department you win,
hands down.
- What is it with you?
- You know I'm not the
only one with a business,
you got a business too so
why is it I am the only one
who's selling?
- What's the hurry, we're
not setting sail tomorrow?
- Oh I can see that, I'm
getting the picture Sunny.
First, you wanna lease the boat, not buy.
Then you wanna lease the house, not sell
and now today in the middle
of a god awful meeting
with people I hated, I
realized you haven't made
any plans to sell your shop,
so I was just wondering Sunny,
are you just lying about the boat?
- Just because you had
a bad day doesn't mean...
- No, this isn't about my bad day Sunny.
We were going to retire, we had plans.
- We planned to have three
kids and a vineyard in Napa
by the time you were 30.
Things change, you're not
the only one who sacrificed.
I think she's worth it.
Are you so excited to be a sailor?
Almost there.
- Look here Sammy.
I think you're gonna like this.
Mick, it's great.
- And when she outgrows
this one I've got an idea
for an activity center
that'll go right over there.
Or maybe we'll just get a bigger boat.
- It's terrific.
- Oh, oh, oh.
- Give her a minute,
let her get used to it.
- She wants out, Mick.
- She does the same thing when you put her
in the crib at home.
- Oh Sammy, oh it's okay baby.
Would you get a rattle or the bunny.
- Maybe she's starting to teeth?
- It's too soon.
Look what Daddy found for you.
Oh what is it, come on, come on.
Let's go outside.
- I'm trying to make this work, Sunny.
I'm thinking that we can be
ready to go by next summer.
We'll take it slow, we'll
just go down the coast
and pull in the coves.
- By next summer she'll be
crawling, she'll be so fast.
- We'll put her in a harness.
That's what the family did
in the book you gave me
and we'll be with her all the time.
- And pulling four hour shifts
on the boat, sounds great.
- Is that sarcastic?
- You have to admit it's not
gonna be a piece of cake.
- This is how you wanted it.
- I know what I said but
we have to be reasonable.
By next summer, she'll
be pulling herself up.
- By next summer, she'll be an old hand.
- How can she pull herself
up when the boat is tilting?
What if she slips, what
if something hits her?
- That could all happen
just as easily at home.
- At home we are 10
minutes from a hospital.
- You don't wanna do this.
- I didn't say that.
- Everything but.
- I thought we could do this.
- No you didn't, you're a
smart woman, you knew better.
You were working me Sunny,
damn you, all this time,
you've been working me.
I shouldn't have left like that.
- We managed.
- I don't wanna lose us.
- Me either.
I'm so sorry I slept
right through the alarm
and Mick had to go in early.
- Al Bowman's coming at nine.
- Al Bowman?
- The wholesaler.
You did bring the order list?
- Oh shoot I left it at home.
I'll be back in 10 minutes.
- No there's no time, Sunny,
you knew I had this appointment.
- I'm really sorry.
Look we can go by last year's order.
I'll handle it.
- Okay, and I know it's not the best time
but I need a couple days off.
- Is everything okay?
- No not really.
- What's the matter.
- I just need the time, Friday and Monday.
- Okay.
- Okay thanks.
- She doesn't sleep.
Oh sure in the day time but
at 3 o'clock in the morning,
she's ready to boogie.
- How are you dealing with
the shop on top of all this?
- A customer came in the other day
and dropped off a brochure on narcolepsy.
My best friend hates me because
we're in business together
and I'm not pulling my weight.
And yesterday I realized I
will never go to the bathroom
alone again.
- And Mick?
- I keep hoping things will get better.
- Have you thought about a nanny?
- It just doesn't feel right.
- Well are you supposed
to do everything yourself?
- That's my job isn't it?
- Don't be ridiculous, you're
lucky you can afford it
and you're not 23 you said so yourself.
Why don't you cut yourself a little slack.
Call her, she's got
really qualified people.
It's gonna be okay.
- Yeah, just keep reminding me how noble
we vintage mothers are.
- Mom, do you want me to
take them to the printer?
- Dad will take care of it.
- I don't know why you're doing this,
it's his reunion, he volunteered.
- Well, Jenna does things for you,
it's part of being married.
- Yeah but I appreciate them.
- Lighten up on your father,
you know how busy he is.
- I do.
So what do you think the
chances will be of him
selling the business to me?
- You want the business.
- Mom, Jenna and I have talked about it
and yeah, I've done some
exploratory research.
Of course, I can't pay cash or anything.
- Pay cash for what, don't
tell me you're thinking
about buying another new car.
- No actually I was talking
about Andrews Undersea Labs.
- What?
- Well, I'm the logical buyer aren't I?
I mean, Dad when I was in
school I switched from art
to business so I could learn,
that's what you wanted.
- Well sure.
- Well, I always figured this was why.
- Yeah, but I didn't know I
was gonna be ready to retire.
- I can come up with a fourth now
and with deferred compensation,
I'll be able to service the
debt, I've done my homework.
- I can see that.
- It'll save you a big commission.
Of course, I'd expect to split it.
- Well, I'm kind of at
a loss for words here.
- Well, it's good to see I can
still surprise you old man.
I gotta go, take your time, think it over.
Sure.
- Thanks again for all your help.
- No problem.
- Did you know about this.
- No, well you got here just in time,
I have to be at the shop in 20 minutes.
- What?
- Mick why are you here.
- I just came home to change my shirt,
I'm meeting some guys at the club.
- We talked about this, you agreed.
Ann is off today and Claire
has to leave at four.
I have to go in.
- No, no, wait a minute.
- Samantha's been asleep for awhile.
There's a fresh bottle
in the refrigerator.
Oh, she'll be wet and probably poopy.
- Maybe you can take her with you.
- Can't Mick, sorry.
- Oh.
- Now be sure you don't over water it.
Enjoy your day, thanks bye-bye.
Hey, I thought you were
taking the day off.
- Bill's gone.
- What?
- This woman he works with.
- Oh Ann, I can't believe it.
- Me either, not until last week,
then I started to think
that something was wrong,
that's why I wanted the time.
Well he's been lying about everything.
- I wish I knew what to say.
- And they've using your boat.
- What?
- Mick let them use the boat.
- Are you here?
- Oh Brody what are you
doing here, where's Mick?
- He called, he's in a jam
so he asked me to babysit.
I changed her and I put her
pacifier in the freezer,
she's been a little fussy
and I know it's early
but I think she's cutting a tooth.
Yeah.
- We can always count
on Uncle Brody can't we?
Don't.
- What are you doing?
- Waiting for you.
- Oh it's late, I'm tired.
- It's always late, you're always tired.
You're never here.
You couldn't even spare time to take care
of your own daughter.
- Let's don't make a big deal out of this.
I promised Frank...
- You promised me.
- You wanna talk about broken
promises, don't do it, Sunny.
If we both kept ours we
wouldn't be fighting like this,
we wouldn't have anything to fight about.
- I think you should go stay on your boat.
You breeze in here for 30
seconds every once in awhile,
take a shower, change your clothes
and then you're gone again.
It's not working for me.
I don't wanna live like that.
- Sunny, you're being ridiculous.
- I don't think so.
I think you should move out
until you know what you want.
- Oh I know what I want,
I've been very clear
about that all along.
- You're right, you have.
And you didn't get it, you
can still have your boat
and sail around the world
and live out your fantasies
just not with me.
- Oh come on, stop it.
I'm here.
- You're not.
The only ones here are Sammy and me.
Please don't come back until you're sure
this is what you want.
No.
- Have it your way, I'll pack a bag.
- Mick, how could you
let Bill use the boat?
He's been part of my
life since junior high.
Tomorrow, I keep thinking,
he'll come home tomorrow.
- Is that what you want?
- Yeah but I want it to be the way it was.
- Before Samantha?
- Yeah.
- Can you be honest with
yourself for a minute?
- Yeah.
- What's different?
- Besides the baby?
- Yes.
- We want different things,
we always wanted the same things.
- Or you went along.
- Whatever, it worked.
Right, this is the first
time it's been my decision.
The first time I've wanted something.
- In how long?
- A lifetime.
- This is a list of the
numbers you'll need,
the doctor, my number at work,
my daughter-in-law's number
and my pager number.
- Okay.
- Your hours may change a little.
- I'm flexible.
- Since our interview my
husband has moved out.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- Well, if you were needed
before, you're a godsend now.
- I can't replace her
father, Mrs. Andrews.
- I know.
But another voice, someone to read to her,
to be there when she wakes up.
- "Goodnight Moon."
- I beg your pardon.
- Does she like "Goodnight Moon?"
- Oh, she loves it.
- Well then I think
we're on the right track.
- Goodnight nobody, goodnight mush.
And goodnight to the old
lady whispering hush.
Goodnight stars and goodnight air,
goodnight noises everywhere.
- Mom, hey is Dad around?
I think I can come up with
some more float money.
Mom what's wrong?
A little late for post-baby
blues, wanna share?
- Your dad hasn't talked to you?
- No, what's the matter.
- He's on the boat.
He's staying on the boat.
- What?
- He moved out.
- He left you and the baby?
- I told him to go.
- Well why did you do that?
Never mind I know why, I'm sorry.
I gotta go.
- Dan, you calm down
before you talk to him.
- He needs to hear this.
- Danny?
- You selfish bastard,
what were you thinking?
- Come on this isn't
the time or the place.
- Take a break.
- Now just a minute here.
- Go on take a break.
- It's okay guys go ahead.
We'll catch up tomorrow.
Who the hell do you think you are?
- You are a real sorry bastard.
Look at you with your big fancy boat.
- I've earned this boat, I've
worked hard my whole life.
- Oh I know I've heard you plenty.
Who cares how hard you worked Dad.
It didn't turn out like
you wanted so who cares.
- You don't know squat about hard work,
I made it too easy for you.
And you were always taking,
you always had your hand out.
- Because that's all you had to offer.
How long you been here?
How long have you been living on the boat,
simple question Dad?
- About a week.
- A week.
You've been going to work, doing business,
having meetings, sending memos.
- This is private,
between your Mom and me.
- No, no don't put this off on Mom.
She might have told you to leave
but she had a damn good reason.
Do you think that Jenna and I
and everyone else haven't noticed
how disappointed you look?
You think you're hiding
how much you blame her?
You might have spoiled me but look at you.
Look at you the minute you
don't get everything you want,
the minute you're not
calling all the shots,
you're out of there.
My Dad, my hero, have
fun on your boat captain.
Captain of nothing,
that's what you earned.
- Hi.
- I rang the bell and nobody answered.
So I saw your car, I
figured you'd be out here.
I heard, sorry.
- Thanks.
- I'm gonna miss you
tomorrow at the reunion.
- Yeah, well it's not my class anyway,
you people are old.
Don't remind me.
- I'll miss it too thanks.
- You seeing him?
- Not really, he's coming by today
to pick up the baby.
- I am really not good with words.
I never told you how I felt about you.
Not really.
- Don't Brody.
- No I want to, I kept
my big mouth shut before,
it's the worst mistake
I ever made in my life.
- I'm not so sure of that.
- I am.
I always thought that
you were gonna be there
and then one day you weren't.
I was always my best self with you.
- Brody I'm still married.
- I know that.
I'm just saying that, if anything changes,
and you're not.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hey little girl.
Ooh you're getting heavy.
- Don't forget her bag.
- You look good.
- Thanks.
- Did you get the check.
- Oh yeah, thanks.
- How's the nanny working out?
- She's fine.
- Good.
- I hate to see you burning
all your bridges at once.
- What are you talking about?
- Dan, he has done everything he can
to earn your respect.
He quit art school, he
learned your business
and he learned it well for you.
And you still treat him
like an ungrateful kid.
Don't let him down this time Mick,
you'll lose him too.
I don't have to give you
instructions on her do I?
- No.
I'll have her back by five, say bye-bye.
- Bye-bye baby.
- You guys have done a wonderful job.
- Sunny did every bit of this,
don't give me any credit.
- Trust me we won't.
- Ah, Danny how'd it go?
- Adequate, but there's still some work
to be done on the seams.
How's your weekend?
- Fine I had the baby for most of Friday.
- Yeah, first time alone?
- Yeah, I suck at it, I always did.
- Well, you said it I didn't.
- I need you to take over
here for a couple of days.
- What's wrong?
- Nothing, I'm gonna take the boat out.
- Why didn't I guess.
- You know you don't
know everything about me.
- I know enough.
- All I know is work.
After my dad died we found out
he let his life insurance
lapse, he didn't have a dime.
God I resented him, I had
to work just to put food
on the table.
I lied about it at school,
I wasn't ready to be
the head of the family,
I just wanted to be a kid.
And I never let anybody
know how bad it was,
not even your mom.
But I told myself that I would
never do that to my child,
that I would never give him
that kind of responsibility,
that kind of fear.
I just wanted you to feel
safe, to feel secure.
- I just wanted a dad.
- I know and I look at you now with Ben
and I see the man, the father
that I wish I could have been
for you, Danny and I'm sorry.
That's what I came to say I'm sorry.
- Okay, I appreciate it.
- And I can't change what's over
but I was hoping we could
give it another try.
- What do you mean?
- We could work something out.
I looked over your offer,
you did a good job,
it's a good plan, but I figure
maybe I'm just not ready
to let go all the way yet.
Maybe we could partner up for awhile?
- Well I don't know
sometimes we can barely
be in the same room together.
- Not with me running the show, I swear
but us together, spending time together.
Like I said I can't go back
but I'd sure like a shot
at getting to know the man you are now.
- I don't know.
- Well, that's okay, this
time you think about it.
- Dad.
- Yeah?
- Take your time on the boat,
I can handle things here.
- I know you can.
I do know you can.
- Night, night, love you.
Rosemary?
- I wanna come home.
- Not the way it was.
- Not the way it was.
I just don't know where to start.
- Why don't you start with the truth.
- The truth.
The truth is you asked me to leave.
- And the truth is you wanted to go.
You were relieved, you were off the hook.
- I never let myself off the hook
but you're right.
I was relieved.
- Then why are you here?
You want your boat, your
trip around the world.
- I thought I did, but it
wasn't really the boat I wanted,
it was being with you.
My life doesn't mean
anything without you Sunny.
I'm so scared of screwing up
the way I screwed up with Dan.
- Is that what you think you did?
- Oh that's what I know I did.
Everything he is and he's a great kid
is because of you.
- No everything he is is
because of him and us.
I couldn't have done it without you.
- I love you Sunny and I wanna come home.
With no more holding back and no more
skipping out on the hard parts.
- She doesn't sleep, not the
way she's supposed to anyway.
- Let me try.
Maybe they're right, maybe
Samantha's gonna keep us young.
I'm glad you feel that way.
