A Change of Heart (1998) - full transcript

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(JIM GRUNTING)

(ELAINE LAUGHS)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

JIM: Come on, Jess,
pass it, pass it!

(JIM LAUGHING)
(ELAINE SCREAMING)

Nice pass, Dad.

Oh, your mother
is cheating again.

Bring it on, baby.
(CHUCKLES)

Oh, nice thing to
say about your wife.
(GROANS)

Okay.



You're right, Jess.

Next time,
take no prisoners.

ELAINE: Oh, Sarah's ready.
SARAH: I'm ready.

I'm ready, come on, come on.

Come on,
I'll fix you a drink.
See you guys later.

Take it, Jess. Go!
JESSE: Oh, yeah.

Ooh...

Go get it.
No, get the ball.

You get it.
I'm not getting the ball.

ELAINE: I wish we
could've come up here
later in the spring

when the daffodils
are blooming.

JIM: We have daffodils
in our backyard in the city.

Oh, it's not the same.

I think they're the most
beautiful thing up here.



(SIGHS)

Oh, no, sweetheart.

They're the second most
beautiful thing up here.

Nice recovery.
Hmm.

(SIGHS)

Jim?
Hmm?

Stop thinking about work.

Oh, I wasn't.

I wasn't.
I was wondering

what this place is
going to look like
in 40 years.

ELAINE: These mountains
aren't going anywhere.

You know, when you first
showed me this place,

I thought we'd
never make the time
to come up here,

but you've made it
very special for us.

Thank you.

You deserve something
nice for that.

Oh.

Get in here.
I'm freezing to death in
this thing. (LAUGHING)

Mmm.

SARAH: Hey, give me
the damn phone, all right?

JESSE:
I'm on the phone, okay?
SARAH: Come on!

Not tonight.
(CHUCKLES)

I always forget how thin
these walls are.

Oh, God, teenagers.

(KIDS CONTINUE ARGUING)

Best birth-control going.

(CHUCKLES)

Come on, guys, let's go!

Oh, the new accountant
starts tomorrow.

Wow. That was quick.

Well, Sally didn't
give us much notice.

Gail had to hire
somebody over the phone.

I hope he's not
an ax murderer.

Okay, guys.

I was thinking, could I take
some friends up to the cabin
for the spring break?

Sweetheart, your mom and
I don't have any more
time off till summer.

Well, you guys
don't have to come.

(LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY)

If anybody's going up
to the cabin unchaperoned,

it's going to be me
and your dad.

Why would you
want to do that?
(CHUCKLES)

Figure that out.

Oh, gross!
(LAUGHS)

Gross?

Disgusting!

Jess, as soon as we get
unloaded, don't forget,

you need to finish
that paper.

(SCOFFS) Whatever.

Whatever, whatever!
I love that word.

It's a kid's way of saying
"yes" when he really means
"shut the hell up."

SARAH: The tree fell!

Oh, my God, look at this!

Oh...

(GASPS) Oh, God, Jim.
Oh, my goodness.

JESSE:
Man, five feet the other way.
Goodbye, house!

Oh, no.
I'll call somebody
about it tomorrow.

(HUMMING)

Uh, Sarah's hogging
our bathroom.
I can come back.

No, hey, come on.
It's only a mirror.

Please.

(JIM CLEARS THROAT)

Just checking out
my technique, huh?

Dad, I know how to shave.
Okay.

I'm having dinner
over at Kelley's house
on Friday night.

How is Kelley?

She's good, she's okay.

I might be back
kind of late.

How late?

Oh, late enough.

I see.

You guys
taking precautions?

Dad, I haven't even...

Hey, hey, hey!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to pry.

(SIGHS)
I wasn't prying.

Don't be self-conscious
about it, Jess.

I mean, the first time's
always a little ticklish.

Dad, please.

Hey, I'm just saying,
my first time wasn't
exactly a home run, okay?

Oh, my God.

The good news was that...
(CLEARS THROAT)

By the time I got
into medical school,
met your mom,

I was ready.

I can't believe
I'm hearing this.
(CHUCKLES)

It's not exactly
a family secret,
you know.

It's not like
I slept around.

Your mom was
only my second.

Well, there's
a whole lot to be said
for family secrets.

Hmm.

Is that why you
didn't tell us about
Boston University?

What were you doing
in my room?

I wasn't. I wouldn't.
Dean Anders called me.
God!

I mean, it's not every day
your son gets accepted
to your alma mater.

Jess, Jesse,
your mom and I
are very proud of you.

(DOOR SLAMS)

(SIGHS)

I told you to wait
until he brought it up.

Don't!

(LAUGHS)

After you, Mrs. Marshall.

Thank you, Dr. Marshall.
Here you go. This is yours.

WOMAN: Hi, Elaine.
Good morning, Dr. Marshall.

Hi.

Hi, Trish.

Ah, good morning.
These are for you

and Sadler Health Services
said these forms were not
filled out correctly.

Oh, and Jim,
Dr. Wexler wanted to know

why the Turner child
was referred out to
Portland Pediatrics.

That was an
administrative decision
and Carl knows that.

He can talk to me
about it at the meeting
this afternoon.

Oh, gee,
I love Mondays.

Jim, Elaine.
Hi, Gary.

I thought I was going
to see you last night.

We didn't get back
from the cabin
till late, so...

You want to
have lunch later?
Sure, yeah.

LEWIS: Hey, welcome
back from the wilds.

Hi, Lewis.
JIM: Morning.

Look what I found
in the parking lot.

Oh!

Hello, Joshua,
how are you feeling?

Oh, good.

I missed you.

Oh, you want candy, huh?
(CHUCKLES)

Candy is for
after the exam.

Candy after doctor.

Exam in Room 3, please.

Room 3, please. Okay?

We're not seeing
Dr. Marshall?

Oh, I'm sorry,
Mrs. Miller,
maybe next week.

Dr. Wexler is a bit curt,
but he is a good doctor.

I'll see you later, okay?

Gail, you run
the numbers.

Can we really afford
that increase in the
research budget?

Yeah. It'll be
a bit of a stretch,

but we can manage
as long as Elaine lands
those two grants.

Oh, we'll know that
in a couple of weeks.

In the meantime,
we've all got
plenty to do.

Jim gets to look
for the deaf gene

and the rest of us
take up the slack.

Oh, come on.

Lewis, do you
have a second?

Seeing that old
Josh Miller this morning,

he is such a happy,
normal kid.

It reminded me of that
Moroccan boy that Jim
saw last week.

He'd been misdiagnosed
two times.

One doctor thought
that he was retarded.
I just...

Probably because
he never had
his hearing test.

That's correct.
Now we should be doing
our own testing here.

Now, Portland State
has a two-year master's
Audiology program at night.

I thought about
doing it before,

and now that
my kids are older,
I'm thinking, why not?

That's interesting.

Jim has the lightest
patient load
in this institute,

and now you're talking
about taking time off
for school.

This has nothing
to do with Jim.

I don't recall saying
anything about taking
any time off...

Elaine? Phone for you.

Oh, Trish,
please take a message.

It's Jesse's school.

Oh. Um...
Yeah, excuse me.

Oh...

(GRUNTING)

Jesse,
we got to go to class.
Are you coming?

So boring.

Hey, you want a game?

Yeah, cool.

Must've had a fight
with his boyfriend.

I don't want to have
that fairy in my team.

Well, you don't have to.

Yo, what's up?
I'm Jesse, man.
Hey, I'm Trey.

Well, looks like
it's me and you, okay?
Cool.

Fall out.

Get out!

(GRUNTS)

Hey, man,
that was a foul!

What, did I hit you?
I didn't even notice.

If you weren't a faggot,
I'd punch your lights out.

That's out of bounds, man.
Yeah, well, this faggot
would like you to try.

I'm out.

I'm sorry, man, you know.

Yeah, that's okay.

Jesse, we're going
to be late for calculus.

(HORN HONKING)
Oh.

Damn.

Guys, I'll catch up
with you, okay?

Jesse, they said this
wasn't the first time.

Just because you've
gotten into college
doesn't mean you...

Mom, I'm not
messing up my grades.
I'm on top of it.

I don't need a lecture.

What lecture?
I said one sentence.

Yeah, well, I heard
all the other sentences
waiting in the wings.

Oh, you!
(CHUCKLES)

All right,
you win that one.

Just don't do it again.

I promise.

And he's cut his
third period four times,

and he's been late
to class after lunch
every day this month.

Probably just senior-itis.

ELAINE: Oh, I suppose so.

It's hard to believe
he's going to be
at BU next year.

Hmm.

It's going to be
awful quiet around here.

You know,
I've been thinking.

Uh-oh!

(CHUCKLES)

Do you suppose that
there'll be time
for me to, uh...

Well, I've been thinking
about some night classes.

You know, the Audiology
program,

the master's program
over at Portland State?

Yeah, that would be
a good idea.
I mean, at some point.

But I just wonder
about the timing.

You know, with Jesse gone,

it seems like a lot of
change to lay on Sarah
all at once.

Oh, Jim, come on.
I mean, you're home
almost every night by 7:00.

Yeah, well,
I'm in my study
half the night.

I've got a stack of lab
reports that are about
to swallow my desk.

I really ought to knock
some of these out tonight.
I know.

That's what I should do.

Gosh, dark gray or black?

(SIGHS) Tough choice.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

(SIGHS)

I don't want to
spend another night

listening to Li talk
about their new boat.

Oh, come on.
It's her birthday.
Humor her.

(SIGHS)

You go.

I'm not going
without you. Uh-uh.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

MAN: I don't even
know the guy.

Did you know...

Well, anyway,
we can't decide
between using, um,

maybe a mahogany,
in my free time,

and decorating the inside.
Did I tell you
I was doing this?

A lot of time.

We just can't decide
on the colors.

We're using maybe
a mauve and a teal,
or maybe...

Come on.

No.
Come on.

You're the last guy
to beat me
on my own table.

You know, I'm really
not up for it.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm just
not feeling very
energetic tonight.

Hey, why don't you
come out on the boat
with us next Sunday?

Get a little fresh air.

I don't think
I'm going to be
free next weekend.

Gary. (CHUCKLES)

Everything's fine.

Lewis thinks you'd make
a great audiologist.

He does? Nice.
Mmm.

(SCOFFS) I hate to admit
that Carl Wexler might
be right about something,

but I don't have the time.

Elaine, make time.
This is for you.

Well, in my case
"you" as in "singular."

Oh, here we go again.
You know, you might ask
yourself exactly when,

"Honey, can you help out
around the office?"

turned into
a 15-year career.

Gail, I know
what you're saying.

I married a man
with a cause

and I've gotten
way more out of it
than I ever gave up.

So sue me.
(SIGHS)
I need to go home.

We haven't even
cut the cake yet.

Oh, I've got a terrible
headache. (SIGHS)

Gail, could you
give her a ride home?

Please give Loni
my apologies.

Okay, I guess.

Bye.

You know what I think?

I think...

I think you're
too afraid to go back
out into the world.

Afraid it might be
too much work.

Sweetie, real life's easy.

It's marriage that
takes all the work.

He's that salesman
from Cropper & Company.

ELAINE: He seems
to be interested
in Loni's daughter.

She's only about
two years older
than Sarah.

Men never think
anyone's too young
for them.

You know
what really gets me
about getting older?

Do I want to know this?

It's not that men don't find
you sexually attractive,
it's that...

They just don't find you.

You become invisible.
You just become
sexually invisible.

Huh!
Well, there's something
to look forward to.

Hmm.
Hi, Gail.

Daniel!

Oh, I love,
uh, Gorgonzola.

Oh, excuse me.

Uh, Daniel,
I'd like you to meet
Elaine Marshall,

Administrative Director
of the institute.
Hi. How do you do?

Hi. I've started introducing
myself to you many times,
but you're always so busy.

Oh, that's me.
(CHUCKLES)

Well, it's, um...

Very nice to meet you.

It's nice to
meet you, too.

(SIGHS) What?

I was just admiring
my Gorgonzola.

Hmm.

Hey.

Hi.
How was the party?

Awesome.

Don't get crumbs
in your bed.

Hey, somebody's got to
feed the dust mites.

Funny. That was funny.

I'll see you
as soon as I can.

Oh, maybe tomorrow.
Okay.

Hi.
Hi.

How was the rest
of the party?

Oh, you know. (CHUCKLES)
How's your headache?

It's better, thank you.

Who was that
on the phone?

A patient.

Well, who was it?
You're not on call tonight.

(SIGHS) It was
a referral, you know.

Somebody gave him
my home number.

It's 11:00.
You're too nice.

Oh, no, honey, don't stop.
That's great!

Oh, bye, Mom.
You look great.

No, do it again. Come on.
All right.

When I was in college,
I used to think of it
as ballet.

Ballet?
Yeah.

Cool, huh?
Yeah!

Yeah, for an old lady,
it's pretty cool.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(CHUCKLES)

Maybe I can
come over to your class,
give a few pointers, huh?

(CHUCKLES)
Oh, my God.

Wear matching leotards.

Have you completely
lost your mind?

You can tell people
I'm your big sister.

Don't you know
this much fear
can stunt my growth?

I've got to meet
that boy, Spencer.
Is that his name?

I am not hearing this.

I'm not hearing this.
Spencer?

I'm not... Mmm,
I'm not hearing this!

Eat your breakfast.

How do you do, Spencer?
Nice to meet you.

Mmm-hmm.

Yes. Yeah.

Yeah.

Excuse me, could I
call you right back?
Okay, thank you.

Where is he?

Well, he's where
he's been this time of day
for the past six months.

There can't be
that many books
in the damn library.

Well, Carl,
tell you what.

If there's a problem
with this afternoon's
schedule,

why don't you let me know,
and I'll take a look
in Jim's book

and I'll see
what we can work out.

I am triple-booked now
between 3:00 and 4:00
because he told Mrs. Miller

she could
come in this afternoon
without an appointment,

which would be fine
with me if he was
here to deal with it.

Well, don't I always
fix these things?

(SIGHS)

Is this an "organize this"
thing?

Trish, I'm going
right past the lab
on my way back,

so why don't I
pick up those reports?

Okay.
Oh.

Please tell Jim I put
a new appointment for this
afternoon in his book.

Sure.
Thanks.

Vista Inn.

Coffee's here.

(SIGHS)

What...

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

I'm sorry.

(SHAKILY) Don't. Don't.

I didn't mean for you
to find out this way.

No, I can't...
I can't. Go away.

I was going to
tell you about it.
Please, I don't...

I don't know who you are.

Elaine, we need to talk.
Please. Oh, God...

(SOBBING) How long has
this been going on?

How many? What are you?
I don't believe this.

I was going to do this
a different way.

Different way?
Different way?
Yes.

Which part did you
want to do different?
The part where I saw you?

Oh, God. I'm such a fool!
Please.

Oh, God. I'm such a fool.

You know that I would
never intentionally
hurt you.

Elaine, please,
listen to me.
(CRYING)

I'm not trying
to justify this.

I'm just trying to
understand myself,
everything.

(STAMMERING)
What about me?
What about AIDS?

I've been careful.

Oh, God,
this isn't happening.

Elaine, please, please.
Don't touch me,
please, please!

Get away from me!
Don't you even
look at me!

Don't! Just go.

(SOBBING) Go away.
Elaine...

Go! Get out!

Get out.

Go!

(DOOR OPENS)

Oh, I'm starving.

Can we order in?

We can go out.

Mom, let's go out.
I don't want to go out.

(STAMMERS)
I'm not feeling well.

Oh, yes, ordering in.
I'll get the menus.

I'll get Dad.
Is he in the study?

No, um...
He's working late tonight.

Good. That means
we can order pizza.

Oh, pizza.

I'm going to go lie down.

You kids use
the credit card.

I've never seen
her like that before.
It was really frightening.

Honestly, Jim,
what did you expect?

Honestly, I didn't
think it through.

Were you ever planning
on telling her?

Certainly not this way.

But you don't write
a room number
on your calendar

and act shocked when
your wife finds us.

No! No, you don't!

(SIGHS) Oh, God.

You know what
the most confusing
thing about this is?

When I decided to admit
to myself that I was gay,

I just assumed that
that would take the place

of my relationship
with Elaine, but it didn't.

She's still right there
where she's always been.

My feelings for her
haven't changed a bit.

What about
your feelings for me?

How did it get
so complicated?

(SIGHS)

Jim, what's done
is done, you know.

The pain has already
been handed out.

And now you have
to decide where you
want it all to land.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

(DOOR OPENS)

Where's the paper?

I don't know.
I thought I'd
make pancakes.

No, it's okay.
SARAH: I want pancakes.

Could you help me
get the buttermilk
and the eggs, please?

Uh, never mind
if I have to help.

Sarah, do you know
where the paper is?

No.

Where you going?
To talk to Dad.

No, no. Just finish your
cereal in the kitchen.

You know I don't like
you eating upstairs.

Since when?

(CHAINSAW WHIRRING)

Oh, man, check that out.
Dad's pulling a Paul Bunyan.

(WHIRRING CONTINUES)

You kids get ready
for school. I need
to speak to your father.

What about the pancakes?
Just do it.

(SIGHS)

You must hate me...
I want to talk to you.

You go first.

Who is he?

His name's Phil.

He's the first man
I've ever been with.

Are you leaving me?

You know, for years
before I met you,

I knew I had
these feelings.

All the way back
to my first year
in high school,

but I didn't know
what to do about them.

And then I met you

and it seemed
for a very long time
it'd been decided for me.

I fell in love with you.

I'm asking you.

Elaine, I swear to you,
it's the truth.
I've always loved you.

This other...

It just never went away.

Are you leaving me?

Did you hear
anything I just said?

If you're leaving,
I don't care about
any of that.

I don't believe that,
Elaine.

Doesn't matter
what you believe.

This just isn't
going to happen.

You tell me
there's an explanation.
You tell me it's over.

You tell me something, Jim.

Well, I thought
you'd want me
out of the house.

I don't know what to do
about the kids.

Nothing.
You are doing absolutely
nothing about the kids.

We have 20 years together.
You are not walking
out on them.

We are not going
down that road.

(DOOR SLAMS)

Want some tea?

No, thanks.

(DOOR CLOSES)

There you are.

Hi.

What's the big crisis?

What crisis?

Your door has been shut
for the past three hours.

Elaine?

Jim! Jim!

Oh, don't do this, Elaine,
please, it's just going
to make us both crazy.

I have to know.
I just can't keep sitting
in there wondering.

It's going to
make me crazy.

Jim, I mean, who were
you thinking of when
you made love to me?

What was I to you?

Not now, please.
Not here.

I'm asking you
not to go.

I'm just going
to the library.

(SCOFFS)

Elaine.

I understand how terrible
this is for you,

but what am I
supposed to do?

I mean, I can't
report in every time
I walk out the door.

Fine. Fine. Account for
every minute of my day.

How does that make
it better for you?
Does it change who I am?

Just might make it possible
for me to get through
the day, that's all.

I have to get
through the day, too.

Just...

Don't throw it in my face,
okay? Don't make me sit
in there watch you leave.

(SOBBING) Because I don't
think I can take that.

I won't sleep with him
while we're working this out.

What about our friends?

I'll be discreet.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

SARAH: Mom, can you get that?
I'll be down in a minute.

What's up?

You must be Spencer.

Uh, yes, ma'am.
Is Sarah ready?

Come in.

How long have you
been driving?

Uh, since I was a kid.

I'd like your
parents' phone number.
Okay.

I'd also like to know
where you're going.
Are you going alone?

Actually, Spencer,
if you could just leave us a
thumbprint here on this glass,

(SCOFFS)
we'll run it through
the FBI computer.

Hi, I'm Sarah's dad.

Well, actually, I thought
I'd take her down to Mexico
to get hitched. (CHUCKLES)

Is there some reason
you don't want me to know
where you're going?

Mom.

What are you doing?
We're going to go
see a movie.

Would you chill out?

Be home by 10:00.

The movie won't even
be over by 10:00.

By...
11:00.

Drive safely, don't drink.
Thanks, Dad.

Go on, guys.

Have fun.

Bye.

(SIGHS) What the hell
was that about?

She can't just go out
and not tell me where
she's going.

Don't be dumping this on
Sarah. We've always been
able to trust her.

Yeah, well,
trust is a little less
durable these days.

You know, I did make
dinner tonight.

Thank you,
but I've eaten.

Well, you have
to call me.

What am I supposed
to tell the kids when
they ask where you are?

Am I supposed to
make something up?

You have put me in an
impossible situation
with the kids.

No, you have put us in it.

I...

I know the kids
have to be told
at some point.

You just have to give me
a little more time to
work through this.

Remember all that garbage
I told you about how easy
it was to decide

to not to go back
to graduate school?
Oh, forget it.

Is that what you guys
were arguing about?

We weren't arguing.

Oh, yes, we were.

Last few days, felt like
a shrill bitch from hell
and I don't like it.

I think you really
need some time
to yourself.

Whatever.

I think I understand
why Jesse likes
that word so much.

Stop being so cynical.

'Cause first of all,
that's my department,

and second,
Jim always gives in to you.

He's just a little
distracted right now.
Fix him a nice dinner.

No, the way to
a man's heart isn't
through his stomach.

You start below the belt
and work your way up.

Elaine...

Problem is,
you get to his heart,
and it's closed.

Jim's got you
pissed off about
something, right?

I'd say you sound like
a woman who just caught
her husband having an affair.

(SOBBING)

Oh, my God.
Oh, Gail!

He did love you.
(SIGHS)

How do you know that?

He still does.

How can you say that?

Because it's obvious.
I've known you
for almost 20 years.

You're like
my ideal of love,
the two of you.

Geez, Gail, no wonder
you're divorced.
(SNIFFLES)

He can love you,
really.

And he does.

And he can still be driven
to do this other thing.

Sleep with a man, Gail?
Fall in love with a man?

It's not just your
average other thing.

Would you rather
the other thing

where a 25-year-old
aerobics instructor
with inflated breasts...

I mean, really,
he hasn't exactly
replaced you, has he?

You must have given me
way too much wine
way too early in the day,

because the idea that even
makes any sense at all
is vastly frightening.

(SNIFFLES)

Have you ever
thought about it?

You know...

Two guys, you know...

Say it, Elaine.

If you can't
get the words
out of your mouth,

you can't begin
to deal with it.

Jim...

You know...
Two men doing it.

I can't picture it.

I don't
process visually.

(CHUCKLES)

Uh...
(LAUGHS)

I need some
fortification.

My relationship with
Jim has always been
from the neck up...

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Oh, God.

I know that he's going
through hell, too.

There's a part of me
that wishes I could
fix it for him.

Oh, sweetie.

(DOOR CLOSES)

I didn't call.

Oh, sorry. Take this.
No, no, please sit.
I can...

(SIGHS) The kids out?

They're at the game.

Right. I forgot. (GROANS)

(DISHES CLATTERING)

It's been a long time since
the two of us have eaten
in the dining room.

I just heated up
some leftovers.

Thank you.

Mmm.

This is good.
Mmm.

Could you pass
the pepper?

Mmm.

(SIGHS)

(WATER RUNNING)

(EXHALES)

(BELL CHIMES)

Hey.

(EXHALES)

Pretty bad, huh?

Well, we've, uh...

We've settled into this...
This awful no man's land.

It's like dying
one cell at a time.

Well, I've had some
time on my hands and
I've been looking around

and I have gotten some
good advice, I think.

Does it have anything
to do with a handgun?

(SIGHS) Don't even
joke about that.

(CHUCKLES)

I have made
an interesting
discovery, okay?

This group
is called GAMMA.

Gay and Married
Men's Association.

They meet every
Tuesday night at
the Shelby Rec. Center.

Look, I understand
that you can't really
do this with me,

at least not yet.

But you don't
have to do this alone.

MAN: Well, I'm camped
out in the spare room
with my two sons.

My wife is sleeping
in our daughter's room.

She doesn't even want
to look at our old bed.

On Saturdays, a bunch
of us guys get together
and play touch football.

Last week, we were
choosing up sides
and somebody says,

"It's the usual.
Two hands below the waist."

And my son turns
to me and says,

"That ought to be fun
for you, Dad."

(ALL LAUGH)

Look, jokes aren't bad.

My wife isn't laughing.

MAN: What about
your wife, Jim?

I thought, um...

I thought I'd just
listen this time.

These meetings
have no guidelines
or restrictions.

But we do have
one rule, Jim.

No hiding.

Talk to us.

My wife and I,

we made love.

I thought maybe...

it was a big mistake.

What's it been like since?

I had a hard time
even looking at Phil

or myself in the mirror,
for that matter.

I have loved Elaine
for half my life.

She and kids mean
everything to me.
Everything.

How are your
kids taking it?

You have told them?

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Sarah?

Sarah?

(GUITAR PLAYING)

(KNOCKING)

Jess, you got a minute?

JESSE: Yeah.

Sit down.

(SIGHS)

I'm not going to
patronize you
by suggesting

that you haven't noticed
that something's been
going on lately

between your mom and me.

Are you guys
getting a divorce?

Why do you say that?

You know,
I'm, like, a minority
at school, you know,

kids with both
parents at home.

It's that bad?
Pretty much.

I can deal with it.

Well, it's more
complicated than that.

I'm gay.

(LAUGHS) Yeah, right.
That's a good one, Dad.

It's true, Jesse.

You're my son,
you deserve to know.

(SIGHS)
Look, if you're angry,

if you're grossed out,
I'll understand,

but I have to know.

Know what?
How you feel.

So you're gay,
you know, no big deal.

It's not against
the law or anything.

No, no, Jess, we have
to talk about this.

Yeah, we just did, okay?
Jess, Jess, please.

(SIGHS)

Jesse?
(DOOR OPENS)

Jesse, it's a school night!
(DOOR SLAMS)

(EXHALES)

What's wrong with Jesse?
Oh, he'll be okay.

You told him?

(SIGHS)

Isn't any of this
my business?

Didn't it occur to you
to tell me something,
to warn me?

You would've
talked me out of it.

Of course I would have,
you bastard.

Did it make you
feel better, huh?
Are you okay?

God, I hope so.

When are you gonna
think about someone
other than yourself?

"I have these feelings."
God, it's pathetic!

To hell with
your feelings, Jim!

Act like a man
if you are one!
I am a man, Elaine.

I am a man! I am a man!

It was a lie!

Everything for
the past 20 years
has been a lie!

No, everything for the last
two weeks has been a lie,
and I'm through with it!

I am not lying anymore.

This house, my future,
the children,

it's all a lie!
Listen, listen.
Listen to me!

I am sick and tired
of being made to feel
like a criminal.

(CRYING)
I didn't choose
to be what I am,

but I am,
I am gay, Elaine.

I am gay!
Stop it.

Oh, God.

(ELAINE SOBBING)

JIM: Oh, my God.

Sarah, no.
Don't you come near...
You stay away!

(WAILING)
Oh, baby! Oh, baby!
Honey, I'm sorry!

Oh, God.
ELAINE: I'm so sorry!

Jesse...

It's okay.

(ZIPS PANTS)

It's really okay.

I understand.

It's really cold.

Come here.

Hold me.

Get dressed.

I'm taking you home.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(SNIFFLES)

I'll die if
anybody finds out.

I know, honey.
I understand, believe me.

Why does he
have to be gay now?

Didn't just happened now.

(SNIFFLES)
I don't understand.

It's very hard, baby.

But we have to
figure it out

because he's
still your dad.

And...

As hard as
this is gonna be,

you have to
keep remembering
that he loves you.

How could he
do this to us?

(INAUDIBLE)

Where have you been?
Out.

Oh, don't worry,
Mom, I mean "out"
as in "out of doors."

Oh, Jesse. Jesse?

Are you all right?

(SCOFFS) Never better.

Oh, Elaine,
I am so sorry.

I just can't imagine
what you must be
going through.

Oh, please, Loni...

Of course, I just
had to tell you that
we're there for you.

If there is
anything I can do...

It's, uh,
just so unbelievable.

(DOOR OPENS)

I think the news is out.

I was expecting it,
just not so soon.

Jim slept on the
Morgans' couch last night.

Huh, I see.

That must've made
for interesting
breakfast chitchat.

Thought I'd find you
in here.

ELAINE: Hi, Carl.

He left already.
That's not acceptable.

Well, I won't be taking care
of those sort of things
for Jim anymore.

Why the hell not?

Because I just found out
Jim's gay and sleeping
with another man.

So it just doesn't
seem like the
right thing to do.

Oh, thanks very
much for that.

Maybe I should just go
straight to Franklin.

You can go straight
to somewhere, Carl,
that'd be just fine.

That was amazing. Uh...

Do you really think
it was a good idea?

I don't know.
Doesn't matter, Gail,
because I'm leaving.

I'm not coming back.
Today?

Not ever.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Elaine?

Elaine!

Elaine!

(DOOR OPENS)

Why aren't you at work?

You're asking?
Lewis gave me the day off.

ELAINE: Why did Lewis
give you the day off when
you're already short-handed?

Because he, like I,

realized this is
a temporary hiccup
you're having.

An understandable one,
but temporary,
nonetheless.

And?

And I am here
to enforce the
temporary aspect.

Oh, God,
why do I think that
no amount of pleading

is going to send you away?

Because you're
a very shrewd
judge of character.

Mmm.

Listen, Elaine,
I understand your need

for a good, old-fashioned,
rock-bottom sulk.

So, I'm giving you
24 hours.

But you're not going
to make it a way
of life. Not you.

You're too smart,
attractive and sexy.

Oh, yeah, I turned
my husband gay.

Oh, come on,
you know it doesn't
work that way.

I didn't know
it worked this way.

My gay friends
were always gay.

You know
Keith and Robert?

(SCOFFS) Their marriage
is going to outlast mine.

You know, if Jim had
said that he was torn
between the two of us,

at least I could
still feel sexy.

You are.

You turn heads.
(SCOFFS)

I know you don't
think so now, but...
Name one. Name one.

Daniel Bryan.

Oh, please,
the Gorgonzola guy?

(LAUGHS) You remembered
his name.

Oh, well, sure.
He asked about you.

Really?

Yeah, my hand to God.
(LAUGHS)

I told him
you were separated,
he wanted to call.

Gail! I'm not ready
to start dating.

It's not dating.
It's dinner.

You gotta eat.

What would Jim think?

I am not dignifying that.
Let him worry about it.

All right, all right.
All right.

It just occurred to me,

he walked out straight
into this whole huge
support group.

(CHUCKLES)
Where's my support?

You're looking at her.

I know. I'm sorry.

Thanks.

Yeah, that's better.

By the way, Lewis said
he wants you to take
the rest of the week,

but he expects you
bright and early Monday.

(CHUCKLES)
He's a dear man.

You know, Gary Morgan has
taken on almost as many
patients as you have.

He's never complained.

He's never had
Elaine Marshall tell him
to go to hell, either.

LEWIS: Elaine said that?

It doesn't matter
if she said exactly that.

You can't deny
their personal mess is
affecting this institute.

Carl, I know what
you're driving at,
and I find it offensive.

Let's not put our heads
in the sand, Lewis.

No matter how liberal
we may or may not be,

the institute cannot
afford to be associated
in people's minds...

With what, exactly?

Let's not be naive.

As chairman of the board,
I have to take this
very seriously.

And if we decide to act,
we will expect
your full support.

(SIGHS)

Oh, no.

(CLATTERING)

(SIGHS)

(EXHALES)

Like she was...

She could actually
be his mother.
(LAUGHING)

They were just from
different worlds, you know.
Thank you.

Thank you.

So the way I looked at it,
if I called too soon,
you could just say no,

and if I called too late...

Well, and then Gail
gave me your number, so...

(LAUGHS)
But you said yes, so...

Well, dinner is
dinner, right?

And dinner is lovely.

I had a very nice time.

Yeah, me, too.

Look, I'd call you
right away, I mean,
that's my instinct, but, uh...

I mean,
you gotta tell me.

(KISSES)

I'm sorry.

(CLEARS THROAT)
No, I'm sorry. Um...

Should I...
I'll call you.

All right. Good night.

Good night.

You're late.

Today a school holiday
I don't know about?

Yeah, whatever.

Hey!

Now, you've got
to listen to me.

Jesse, this is a really
bad situation and I am
going to make mistakes.

Yeah, I noticed.

I'm sorry.

I am sorry for you kids,
I'm sorry for your dad.

I am sorry for all of us,
but we've got to move on.

This is going to be
one great birthday.

Well, 18 is an important
birthday. I...

I made reservations
at Granger's.

Give me a break,
that's for kids.
You are a kid.

We've never missed
a family birthday
there yet,

so let's not
start now, okay?

Please.

(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

What's with the books?

I've applied to
the Audiology program.
It's a tough entrance exam.

That's going to
keep you pretty busy.

Jim, I'm going to do this
and I'm going to work here.

I'm going to take care of
my children and I'm going
to take care of myself.

What I'm not going to do
is take care of you.

What is it
you're trying to say?

that how you're gonna feel
about what we do is just no
longer a consideration for me.

You just need to go off
and make your life work
and let me do the same.

I called Granger's
to make a reservation
and they already had one.

But it was for three,
so I had it changed.

I'm not going to miss
my son's 18th birthday.

(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

Carl has spoken out
at the crest.

Frankly, I think
Jim's job is in
serious jeopardy.

Why Jim? Why not me?

Unvarnished?
Yes, unvarnished.

You're not gay.

Oh!

Of course,
it's more than that.
Ugh!

I mean,
Jim's a fine doctor.

His research is promising,
but the board...

Everyone is aware that
you are the backbone
of the institute.

That you created
its structure.

They don't consider
you replaceable.

And on that point,
I have to agree.

I don't believe
I'm hearing this.

But I know that losing Jim
would be a body blow
to the institute.

Well, then what
are you saying?

I'm saying
the board needs to
hear this from you.

I know it won't be
easy for you,

but they need to know
that you two can overcome
the personal problems.

(SCOFFS)

Personal problems?
(CHUCKLES)

That seems
an inadequate phrase
for my life right now.

I know.

Oh, God, Lewis.

I've made some
tough decisions lately,

and I'm hanging onto them
like they're a lifeboat.

This is incredibly
difficult for me to say,
but this is Jim's problem.

And I can't get involved
in Jim's problems anymore.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Hey, pooch.

Hi, Dad.

(CLEARS THROAT)

So...

Ready for your exam?

Yeah. Have you seen Jesse?

No.

Oh, Sarah,
before I forget,

I found this for you.

It's, uh...
It's an Indian fetish.

It's for good luck.

I don't like bears.

Hey.

Hey, sweetheart.

Let's eat.
Hey, birthday boy.
How's life?

Failing all my classes
and my dad's a queer.

(SIGHS)
Jesse, God.

Couldn't be better.

JIM: No, let him
say his piece.

Can we just get
this over with?

So, Sarah, are you
and Spencer married?

Who? Spencer who?

Wasn't that his name?
Uh, baggy pants, funny hat,
picked you up the other night?

I wasn't ready
to settle down.

That's probably very smart.

I'm sure you'll have
other offers.

(BANGS)

Can we stop this?
Stop what?

This whole thing.
This dinner. It's a crock.

We don't have any tradition.
It's dead, just like
this family is. Accept it.

Right, Mom?

Don't blame this
on your mother.
Your problem is with me.

You want to know
what I think?

Not here.
Yes, I do.

I think you're a jerk for
going off and doing whatever
disgusting things you do.

Oh, please!
JIM: What's the matter, Jesse?

Are you feeling
threatened because
your father is a fairy?

Afraid it might
just rub off on you?
Is that it?

I can't hear this.

STAFF:
♪ Happy birthday,

(ALL CHEERING)

Jesse? Jesse? Jesse?

Hey, Jess? Jesse?

Jesse.

Is this your car,
young man?
Get out of my way, man.

I'm Detective Oliveres.
This is Detective Johnson.

Is this your car?
What's going on here?

Are you related
to this young man?
He's my son.

Is this his car?
Of course.

Jesse Marshall,
you're under arrest for
assault and intimidation.

Wait a minute,
this has got to be a mistake.
Sir, sir!

We're with the
Bias Crime Division...
What's going on?

What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?

Elaine, Elaine,
please, calm down,
listen, listen.

...on April 22nd,
by a young man who
drove off in this Volvo

with these tags.
What?

OLIVERES:
Now, we're pretty sure
there's been no mistake.

JIM: What do you mean,
"bias crimes?"

Your son assaulted
a homosexual young man,
that's why we're involved.

ELAINE: No, that's impossible,
that's completely impossible.
Jesse?

Sir, this is my card.

This is the address
of the precinct where
he'll be processed.

You can pick him up
in a couple of hours.

Anything you say
can and will be used...
Jesse...

...against you
in a court of law.
Honey, it's all right.

It's gonna be
all right, okay?

I'm gonna get there as soon
as I can, honey, okay?

It's going to be okay.
If you cannot afford
to hire a lawyer,

one will be appointed to
represent you before
any questioning.

Sarah, get in the car.

Take Sarah home,
I'll deal with Jesse.

Give me that card.
Just get away.
You've done enough.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(DOOR BUZZES)

Hey, you okay, huh?
Yeah.

It's okay. Um...

I got the name of a lawyer
from Lewis Franklin.

Okay, this is all
going to go away,
don't you worry.

(SIREN WAILING)

In a few months,
you're going to graduate,

and before you know it,
you'll be at college.

Don't worry, we're gonna
take care of this.

You don't even have
a clue, do you?

You haven't even
asked me anything.

Asked you what, Jesse?

What would you do
if I told you I didn't
want to go to Boston?

That I actually had
zero desire to be

on the other side
of the country,
away from Kelley?

That's not what
I'm talking about.

But, Jesse, I don't think
this is the best time
to change your plans.

What plans?
You don't even know
what I want.

You're talking
about your plans.

Don't I even have
a say in this?

You haven't even
asked me anything.

Jesse, you know
what's been going on
with your dad and me.

Everybody in the world knows
what's been going on with
my mother and my father.

What about me?

Do you even know
what's been going on
for me and Kelley?

You don't,
because you never...

You never asked.

I'm sorry.

It just never
occurred to me that
you'd wanna stay home.

(SCOFFS) Yeah, what home?

GAIL: Elaine? Elaine?

Come on. You're not ready.

The exam starts
in an hour.

You might wanna
finish getting dressed.

(SIGHS) Gail, I think
this is a mistake.

How much of your life
did you give this man?

What does that mean?

It means,
if you don't move on,

whatever time you have left
will be his, too.

It's not just that.

I haven't even been able
to talk to Sarah since
that birthday fiasco.

And in a few days,
I'm going to my
son's arraignment.

I don't think
they've been getting
what they need from me.

These things
will pass, Elaine.

Jim is going to
start a new life.

In three or four years,
both the kids are gonna
be out of this house.

What are you gonna do then?

I don't know.

I do.

You're going to
change your clothes.

Yes, Mom.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Hey, guys,
thanks for coming.
It's good to see you.

Can I get you
anything to drink or...

No.
Something to eat?

No, I'm fine.
Sure?

Yeah.

Okay.

Can I have a hug?

All right, now.

I know you should
expect your father
to know what he's doing,

and I can't begin
to understand what
I've put you through.

But I'm asking you
to give me a shot at
starting from scratch.

And if there's any way
I could've made some
other choice, I would have,

but it would've been a lie.

And that's what's wrong
with everything that's
been going on lately.

I have not been
truthful with you.

Now, I... I will not
apologize for being gay.

But I'm terribly sorry
for ever having lied to you.

Are you going to
live with a man?

I don't know, sweetheart.

But I can never live
at home again.

I love you both very much.

And that will never change.

Great. Can we go now?
No. No, no, please sit down.

I want to get everything
out on the table.

We have all done
some stupid things in
the last couple of weeks,

and if we don't
own up to them,

things are just
going to get worse.

What's wrong, sweetheart?

I have to go to tai chi.
I'm sorry.

No... Please.
Way to go, Dad.

Wait a minute,
wait a minute.

Sit down. Sit down.

That boy you beat up,

wasn't him you wanted.

Next time you want to hit me,
you have the guts to hit me.

(EXHALES)

So?

I have no idea how I did.
I don't remember a thing.

(CHUCKLING)
I think you could use
some distraction.

Someplace loud.
Come on, yeah!

(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING)

You are full of surprises.

Part of my research.

When I first thought
I might be able
to fix him,

I started doing
some reading.
"Fix him"?

And now I'd like
to just be able
to have him fixed.

Do you know that 20%
of gay men get married?

I did not know that.

Well, that's
the least of it.

There's something
like a million or
two million people

with homosexual
or bisexual partners.

That sounds complicated.

Do you want to dance?

(STUTTERING)
I... I'm with her.

WOMAN: Such a big girl.
GIRL: I was brave, Mom.

WOMAN: Uh-huh.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

What is it?

Jim.

He's been given
a leave of absence.

Oh, Jesse. Oh, no, no,
I don't think so.

Mom, it's just
an arraignment.

Jesse, please,
we're leaving
in five minutes.

Go put on
your good sport coat.

Would you stop
telling me what to do?

I was just suggesting.

I think that if you
wear the other coat...

Stop trying
to run my life
like you did Dad's.

LAWYER: Your Honor,
because of Mr. Farber's
sexual orientation,

and because certain slurs
were uttered before
and during the attack,

we believe Jesse Marshall
was motivated to assault him
out of hate and bigotry.

Therefore the State
of Oregon is accusing
Jesse Andrew Marshall

of assault
and intimidation.

Mr. Marshall, you've heard
the charge against you.
How do you plead?

Your Honor, consul asks
to dismiss due to
insufficient evidence.

There were no witnesses
as to the nature of
the altercation.

Denied. Mr. Marshall,
how do you plead?

Not guilty, Your Honor.

Very well. Let it be
noted for the record,

the defendant has entered
a plea of not guilty

in the matter of
Oregon vs. Marshall.

(INDISTINCT)

Thank you. We'll be
talking to you, okay?

Thank you for
the daffodils.

No, you were right.
It is the best time
of year out there.

Elaine,

I understand that you feel
protective towards Jesse,
I mean, especially now.

But have you considered
the possibility that maybe
he did beat up that boy?

Have you asked him?
Yes. I tried.

Shuts me out completely.
He doesn't want
to talk about it.

I suspect he can't
talk about it.

He doesn't want to make
your life more difficult
than it already is.

He's got to be confused.

Well, Jim, I may never
completely understand
this either.

I'm trying.

(SIGHS)

I mean, we were
good together.

The four of us.
We were a good family.

Yes, we were.

Oh, God, Jim,
we haven't done a very
good job with this.

And I was so mad
at your father

that I guess I wasn't taking
a very hard look at myself.

Jesse,

I think you were trying
to tell me something
the other night.

I told you.

I don't mean about college.

You know, you get to
a point in your life

where you think
there's nothing left
to learn about yourself.

It's just not true.

I had no idea I had
so much rage inside of me.

Scared the hell
out of me.

Just can't be
perfect in the face
of something like this.

But I also learned that

you can't get over
the bad things

until you take responsibility
for your part in them.

Because if you don't,

they just stay a part
of your life forever.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Hey.
Hi. Is this a bad time?

No, no, please come in.

Can I, uh, get you
something to drink?

I made some
fresh coffee. Juice?
No. No, thanks.

Ah, not bad.

Could use a woman's
touch. Uh-huh.

Do you want to sit down?
No, I can't stay.

Uh... Just want to
thank you for being
there the other day.

Have you heard
from the institute?

Not yet.

I'm not sure what to think.

Oh, I have a favor.

Jesse has requested a meeting
with the Farber boy
and his parents

in the judge's
chambers tomorrow.

Really? Why?
I don't know.

And I was hoping
you could be there.

Yeah. I'll pick
you both up.

Oh, great,
that would make it easier.

Okay, what time?
Well, it's at 10:30.

I'll be there at 10:00?

Great, thanks.

(EXHALES)

This is a nice building.

Mmm.

Elaine...

I just want you
to know that you
don't have to worry.

You're going to have
the house, free and clear,

and that money
is not going to be
a problem in the divorce.

Guess you had to
use that word.
(CHUCKLES)

Well, it's the word
they use.

That's sad, isn't it?

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

See you tomorrow.

Well, I assume somebody
has something to say.

I have something to say,
Your Honor.

Shoot.

I lied in court
the other day.

I accept full responsibility
for what happened.

I did beat up Trey Farber.

JUDGE:
Why'd you do it, son?

It's just...

I found out something
about my dad

and I couldn't handle it.

I felt like I was
going to lose it.

(SOBS) And I did lose it.

And I took it out on Trey.

And I'm sorry for that.

I really am sorry.

(INDISTINCT)

Your Honor? Um...

Is it too late to
drop the charges?

(SNIFFLES)

Oh, we can work with that.

They're ready.

Okay. I'll be right there.

(INTERCOM BEEPS)
Yeah, Trish?

TRISHI have a Phil Summers
for Jim on line two.

What should I tell him?
Um...

I'll take it.

Do you mind?

(DOOR CLOSES)

PHIL: I'm trying to reach
Dr. Jim Marshall.

Uh, yes, Phil.
This is Elaine.
Elaine Marshall.

Oh.

Um... Can I help you?

Well, I haven't heard
from Jim in a couple of days

and he hasn't been
in his office, so...

Yeah, he's not real good
at calling back. (CHUCKLES)

Can I give him
a message for you?

No, that's okay.
Thank you.

Okay, bye.

Elaine?

Just talked to
Jim's new friend.

Wow! How was that?

He sounded nice.

(INDISTINCT)

All right, Mrs. Marshall,
we're listening.

I won't keep you long.
Um...

You're all aware that
this institute was created

by Jim Marshall and
Gary Morgan 17 years ago.

It exists
because the care
our patients receive

is unequaled
in the Pacific Northwest
and probably the country.

None of you
could ever suggest

that Jim is not
a good enough physician or
researcher to remain here,

so I can only assume that
the reason you would
decide to remove him

is because you've discovered
that he is a homosexual.

Now, I don't even want to
talk about the legal aspects
of such a decision,

because Jim would never
take it down that road.

But I would suggest
to you that if his wife
can find a way to exist

with the fact
of his sexuality,

that the group in this room
can damn well do the same.

There has not been
a single cancellation,

not a single patient comment,

and I would bet my life
that there will not be one.

The only discomfort
you were addressing with
your decision is your own.

Well, you can do the same
thing about it that I did,

which is grow up
and move on.

I'm not asking for
your understanding,

I'm simply asking you
for common sense,

and common decency.

Thank you, Mrs. Marshall.

You and Dr. Marshall
will be informed of
our decision next week.

Thank you. Thank you.

How about a hematoma
on your shin?

I'm warning you,
I'm wearing Docs.

Right. Hey, Dad.
Hey, guys,
give me the ball.

Ooh! Here he goes.

Where's he going?
Where's he going?
He's up!

Whoa!
That's so unfair.

You were so cheating.
Come on, give it back.

I was not cheating.
Come on.

That's cheating.
Okay, last one,
okay? Duel.

SARAH: Oh, come on,
you're so...

Hi.
Hi.

How're they doing?

They're doing pretty good.

Oh, looks like your
son's going to be going
to Portland State.

(CHUCKLES) Mmm.

Sarah's been talking to him
a lot about the divorce.

He's really
been there for her.
He's been so sweet.

JESSE: Shoot.
SARAH: All right, fine.

I thought I'd take them up
to the cabin next weekend,
if you don't have any plans.

No, they'd love it.

Have you noticed
how wide a berth Carl's
been giving me lately?

Really?
Mmm.

Hmm.

Listen, whatever
you said to the board,
I really appreciate it.

I know.

Is that what
I think it is?

There.
Um...

Could I...
Okay.

When'd you get this?
Last month.

(LAUGHS) This is fantastic.

I'm very proud of you.

Thank you.

Have you told the kids?
No. No.

And I wanted to
ask you about it first.

Because if I do this, if...
Mmm-hmm?

...I'll need a little
extra help from you.

You know, maybe them having
dinner a couple more nights
a week at your place.

Okay.

Maybe sometimes picking
up Sarah after tai chi...

I'm sure we can
work that out. Yeah.

Well, should we
tell the kids?

Yeah.

Hey, guys.

Listen up.

Your mom's got some news.

What is it, Mom?

I'm going to
grad school.

Cool. Girls rule!

Yeah, thanks. (LAUGHS)

I knew I should've
gone to BU.

Now you'll walk to class
with me. Go, Sarah!

By the way, I think
she's going to hit you up
later for a trip to the mall.

Get the ball, doofus,
come on.

Don't call your
sister a doofus.

Hey, Dad.

Can I get some sneaks?

Told you.

You bet, pooch.
SARAH: Yes.

JIM: Ready to go?
Hey, do you wanna go
to a movie afterwards?

I don't want to go to
some girl movie, okay?

Girl movie?

(SIGHS)

Good job, Mom.

Thanks.
You're dead meat.

All right. Switch.
Switch, switch.

Here.
