Brothers & Sisters (2006–2011): Season 2, Episode 11 - The Missionary Imposition - full transcript

Don't you think it would taste
a lot better

Coming from your orchards?

Of course,
but you're not gonna charm me into a deal.

I'm having a big family dinner.

Why don't you join us?

That sounds great.

Mom's really into
this guy isaac.

But if she wants us to go over
to the house and have dinner,

That's what we have to do.

Tommy had an affair
with lena.

I never liked that girl.



If you're gonna blame anyone,
blame tommy.

Your opinion doesn't count
because you slept with lena, too.

I'm still sleeping with her.

It's not just that you slept
with lena.

Tommy?

Did it, too.
I slept with someone.

- You what?
- We went out in high school.

It was a mistake

Was she? Was lena a mistake?

Yeah, she was.

Scotty, jason is coming back.
He--He--He contacted me.

Hey, mom.

Good sweet god in heaven,
was that you?

No, that would be
typhoid travis,



Attempting to spread his plague
to the good people of iowa.

Those good people
gave me this plague.

So...

is isaac sick, too?

No, travis would be the only one
suffering at the moment, thank god.

Don't drink so much!

I don't.
I hardly drink at all.

I thought maybe if he was sick,
that's why he hadn't called.

And then who could blame him,
you know,

After the dinner party
from hell.

No, mom, he's just busy with
the california primary, that's all.

You don't have to make excuses.
I can take rejection.

Mom, i'm not making excuses.

I-It turns out that
presidential campaigns

Are kind of
time-Consuming, okay?

You know what you should do?

Go down to the office, and you
should ask him out for lunch.

God, no. That is just
way too forward.

Mom, you know what?

The man watched our family
disintegrate over paella.

I think you're past
the too-Forward stage.

And whatever happened
with julia and tommy anyway?

I don't know.

I never talk to them anymore.
I don't even talk to justin,

Who i guess is
still sleeping with lena.

- What could she be thinking?
- I don't know.

Maybe she's wishing
that kevin were straight

So she could go for
the whole walker trifecta.

- Kitty, that's disgusting.
- Oh, look at that, mom.

We're here. Gotta go.

No, we're not.

Mom, do me a favor.
Call isaac.

No.

- Call isaac!
- No!

Bye.

I have so many questions
about that conversation.

I have to get up early tomorro

So?

I thought that we said that we
were gonna take the night off.

Look, i know. I just really don't
feel like being at home tonight.

I mean, i can't handle
another closed-Door phone call

Between kitty and my mom
or sarah or god knows--

Oh, great. Your being here
is only gonna make it worse.

I don't care, okay?

I still have to go
to work, justin.

Wait. Where are...

work, that's right.
Well, uh, how's work?

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing.
Isn't it a little awkward?

Of course. It sucks.

Then why don't you quit?

Because unlike you,

I don't live at
my parents' house rent-Free,

And i don't have a bunch of money
in the bank either. All right?

I need this paycheck.

Do you actually think that
i like working for your brother?

Okay, i'm sorry i brought
this up, all right?

It's just--

What are we doing?

Everybody is pissed at us.

Rebecca hasn't talked to me
since the wedding.

You and tommy are
practically estranged.

When you and i started
seeing each other, we said,

You know,
we wanted to have fun.

But now i don't know.
You're just--

You're being really intense.

- Intense?
- Yeah, and i'm worried.

So what, you think
i'm using again?

No.

Look, 'cause i'm not,
all right?

I'm going to my meetings,
and you know what?

I-I even just found one
for vets, so...

that's--That's great.

What--What--
What's the problem here?

You seem really angry lately.

Not at you.

Tommy's the one who screwed up,
okay? Not us.

And i'm just sick
and tired of everyone

Making us pay
for his mistakes.

It think it's
more complicated than that.

Like what--What, do you still
have feelings for him?

No. No, of course not.

Okay, so then what are
we worrying about?

You know, tommy and julia,
they're gonna--

They're gonna make it or not.

But you know what?
That's their issue.

No, you're... you're--You're
really--You're right.

All right. Come here.

Can i stay?

Yeah.

- Is that new?
- Ish.

Did you get it in phoenix?

Actually, i got it
a couple weeks ago...

for you.

It's nice.

You know, i was thinking
maybe tomorrow, um,

I could drive up,
we could have lunch.

If--If that's okay.

Yeah, if you want to.

I think it'll be good
for us to do things

That we used to do before...

you know, normal things.

Yeah, there's this
new seafood restaurant. We...

we could meet there
if you want to.

Okay, yeah, good.
That sounds good.

Sorry, sir, we're closed.

I'm gonna have
to ask you to leave.

What took you so long?

I don't just cook, kevin.

I also clean.

God, i would make such
a good husband, wouldn't i?

Don't worry, i'm not fishing.
Oh, speaking of which,

I was left alone on the line
to finish a grilled turbot

When we ran out
of cider vinegar sauce.

So i finished it with
cubed red peppers and cumin.

And is that bad?

Well, it wasn't
what they ordered.

I me, i was sort of flying
by the seat of my pants.

But the server came in
with compliments to the chef.

Wow. Bra, poissonier.

Merci.

So...

what's new with you?

Just depositions
too boring to describe...

and jason called.

And jason called.

Yeah, he's back in l.A.,

And he wants to meet
for coffee...

tomorrow.

Look, if you're at all uncomfortable
with this, i can cancel.

- It's absolutely no problem.
- No, no. It's fine.

I mean, i knew he was gonna
call eventually.

Yeah and, you know
he's robert's brother.

It's not like i'm not
gonna run into him.

Yeah, and you guys had??

So yeah, i mean, go see him.

Resolve whatever
you need to resolve.

Look, i'm absolutely resolved.
Absolutely.

So i-I-I told him
he could drop by.

I hope
that's not a... problem.

Scotty, if you have any issues
about this, please say,

- 'Cause i can cancel.
- I said it was fine, kevin.

- Okay.
- Thank you for asking,

- But it's all good.
- Okay.

Anyway, i am beat.

Uh, let's go home.

Brothers & sisters s02 ep11

I just don't understand
what's bothering you, sarah.

This is a chance for us
to make a huge splh.

Theoretically, but what graham's??

But graham has had
a huge success in china before.

He knows thearkets.
He has the contacts.

He has no vested interest
in this company, saul.

He's a gambler.

Are you really willing to risk
everything that

You, my father, tommy and
everybody else spent years building

For something that has
no guarantees whatsoever?

You and i both know that there
are no guarantees in life.

True, but there's
degrees of risk.

There's calculated,
sensible risk,

And then there's graham finch.

Why are you so invested
in doing it his way?

I am invested in whatever
is good for ojai.

Okay, what about if we
just split it in half?

We open with a hundred stores.

And what if we can't
meet the increase?

What if there's a frost
or, god forbid, a labor dispute?

What if we
overextend ourselves

And end up losing
our existing contracts?

Ten stores, saul,
in two or three key cities.

We can handle that.

We can control quality,
build reputation, create demand.

That'sow dad did it.

This is your stubborn streak
speaking, sarah.

You're welcome to try
and whittle away mresistance.

I'm sure graham finch will be.

- Sarah walker.
- Oh, speak of the devil.

How soon can you get packed?

We've just got ourselves
a meeting with the chairman

Of golden plum imports
this evening in san francisco.

Whoa, wait. What, today,??

The chairman needs to be on
a plane to beijing in the morning,

And he agreed to meet with us
at the hotel before he leaves.

We're nowhere near ready
to present.

Sarah, simon lao is the man,

And if we really want this,
we need to be there.

I already booked the flights.

Well, i'm st not
comfortable winging it.

Graham's right. I think you
should take this meeting.

Well, i'm sorry, i'm not
a wing-It type of girl.

You know,??

But he would only take
the meeting

If i assured him that the president
of ojai would be there herself.

Well, tell him you lied.

Sarah, what is wro with
a wildly successful meeting

Followed by a-A fun night out
in san francisco?

Fun night out?

Why wouldn't
we be on the last plane home?

Because there's no telling how
long the meeting's gonna last.

Come on, i already reserved
two rooms at the hotel.

Tell you what--Fun night out
is completely optional.

No, the fun night out,
that's off the table.

Okay, we'll go on my terms.

L.A.X., 2:30. Be prepared
to argue the entire flight.

And be prepared
to lose that argument.

That's--That's pretty much
all i do these days.

So i guess video games
are my new drug.

I mean, it's healthier
than smack, right?

My girlfriend thinks it's weird
to try and blot out iraq

By running around
shootin' things,

But it seems to work.

I'm sam, and i'm an addict.

Hi, sam.

Well, uh, it's not as exciting
asombie killing,

But the thing that gets me
through is my wife pamela.

She's great.

But lately, she's been
doing that thing, you know?

She wants to know
what it was like over there.

I mean,
i want to tell her...

someday.

But at night, when i'm
laying there not sleeping,

And she's trying
to help me out,

The last thing i want to do
is talk about that stuff.

It's like, can we please
just have sex?

It was definitely easier
when i was high.

I could just nod out.

But i guess if i'd wanted
to take the easy route,

I wouldn't have
become a marine.

I wouldn't be coming here.

That's all.

Okay. Anybody else
feel like talking today?

No? All right.

See you guys, uh,
back here next time, okay?

God grant me the serenity to
accept the things i cannot chae,

The courage to change
the things i can,

And the wisdom
to know the difference.

Amen.

See you next time.
See you.

Hey, uh, justin?

Hey.

- So how you doing?
- Good.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Uh, what'd you think
of our little group?

I like it, yeah.

Yeah, i was kind of hoping that,
uh, maybe one of these days

You'd get up and talk.

Yeah, uh, it--It's not
that i don't want to.

No, no. Well,
whenever you're ready.

Thank you.??

I'm gonna head up to
santa barbara

- And check out those presses.
- Great.

You gonna be
all right here?

Yeah. Why wouldn't i be?

Look, it's over between me
and lena, okay? It's done.

Okay, the affair is over,

But the possibility
of a lawsuit is not.

- It's not gonna come to that.
- I hope not.

But while i am gone, just--
Just please go by the book.

You'll leave the door open.

You won't make any comments
about what she's wearing.

Nothing suggestive.

- I'll be careful.
- Good.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Hope i'm not interrupting.
- No, not at all. I'm rushing out.

- Okay.
- Enjoy your lunch.

Okay.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I thought, uh, we were gonna
meet at the restaurant.

I know. For the first time ever,
the freeway was empty,

So i figured i'd pick you up...

which apparently was
a really stupid thing to do.

No, it's, uh...
it's good.

Well, i can try to reach her,

But she just left
for another meeting.

No, okay, okay. Yeah, i'll--
I'll, uh, give her a call,

And then i'll get
right back to you.

Is there a problem?

Well, holly had a meeting
with western trucking tomorrow,

And now they want to do it
this afternoon and...

you know what? Don't sweat it.

- I'll figure something out.
- No, it's an important account.

If holly can't do it,
i should--

Tommy, why don't??

Look,
if you're rushed for time,

We can still have lunch together,
and you can cover the meeting.

Are you--
You sure it's okay?

Yeah, it's fine.

Do you have
any delivery menus?

Thanks.

So what are you
in the mood for?

Come in.

Hi.

Nora.

I-I was just
in the neighrhood,

Thought maybe you'd like
to grab some lunch.

Oh, i'd--I'd love,
but, um,

I have a strategy
session in three minutes

- That i--
- Ah. Yeah, it's--

No, wait, wait.

I'm canceling my entire schedule
for this evening.

Would you have dinner with me?

This evening? Let me think.

I guess i could...

cancel a few things.

Good.

- 8:00?
- 8:00.

- Well, you know where i live.
- Yes, i do.

Let's see.

How's that mandarin
coming along?

- Oh, very good.
- Yeah?

I can say hello. After that,
it's up to the translator.

Did you know it was
the year of the golden pig?

I--Actually, i did.

It's a very auspicious time
for new things,

New ventures,
new relationships.

Actually, it's a very
auspicious time to have a baby.

Well, there's different
kinds of babies, you know.

There's big, strong
100-Store babies,

Tiny, little, feeble
10-Store babies--

- Give it a rest, graham.
- Sarah, seriously--

Sarah. No, sarah,
you're making a big mistake.

Simon lao can partner
with any company he likes.

He respects strength.

If he thinks that
we're playing it too safe,

He's just gonna move on
to somebody else.

And if we do it your way,

We run the long-Term risk
of delivering them

An inferior product,
which is fine for you,

Because if they pull out,

You'd just find another company
to gamble with.

You know, there actually is some
skill involved with what i do.

When are you gonna
start trusting me?

Just drop the flirting,
??

And then i'll think about it.

Consider it closed.

- 50 stores?
- No.

- 12 kiosks?
- No.

So, uh,

How's the taco?

It's okay. You know,

This new mexican place just opened
right by my parents' house.

They have thbestish tacos.

Is that where he took you?

What?

No, he did not take me
for mexican food,

And how can you even
bring him up

When she's sitting
right outside the door?

You're the one
who suggested eating here.

I thought we were going
for normal,

Which obviously isn't working,

Probably because all i can
think about is,

Did you do it on your desk,
on hers?

Like i don't have questions??

Was it really just once?
Was he good?

At least you know what
you're going up against.

- "Up against"?
- I didn't mean it like that.

Western trucking's here.

- Yeah, i'll be right there.
- I'll get out of your hair.

- Julia, i'm sorry.
- See you at home.

Hi.

Hi, kev.

The loft looks great.

Yeah, yeah, i--
Yeah, i like...

um, living here.

You still have this, huh?

Yeah.

Oh, oh, the wedding. I forgot
to tell you about the wedding.

It was a total freak show.
Kitty ran away from the altar.

Yeah, i can't believe??

Robert told me all about it.

He must be excited youe back.

Yeah. Yeah, he's already made me
promise to campaign for him.

You're gonna campaign?

Kev, don't.
He's--He's my brother.

Well, yeah.
Kitty's my ster.

You don't see me
drinkin' the kool-Aid.

Didn't--Didn't we once agree??

Yeah. Yeah, we did.
You're right.

So, uh, how's work?

Oh, it's, uh--

Hi.

- Hi. What--
- I got off work early.

- Hi, i'm scotty.
- Of course. Good to meet you.

Good to meet you, too.

Uh, uh, you know what?
We're--We're, uh,

Just in the middle
of coffee, so maybe--

Oh, no, of course. Enjoy.

I did bring home
some soft-Shell crabs, though.

They're not lobsters, but...

jason, why don't you
join us for dinner

Or late lunch
or whatever it is?

No, no, no. I insist.

Kevin, tell him how well
i do soft-Shell crabs.

You know what?
I don't think tonight's--

I'd love to.

Great.

Well, i'll get started
in the kitchen

And leave you two alone.

Graham,
this is not appropriate.

Oh, really? I-I thought
they were kind of nice.

They are nice, but this is
a business relationship,

And they're just
not appropriate.

- Yeah, i know.
- And this card--

"Good luck
with your presentation"?

This is our presentation.

If i don't feel that
we're together on this 100%,

We should just get on a plane
and go back to los angeles.

Sarah, we are together in this.

Good.
Where do you want these?

Guess i'll just put 'em
next to ne.

I'll tell the hotel you don't
approve of their gift.

The hotel?

Yes, they really appreciate
your business--

Well, our business.

And you know that chocolate
on your pillow?

It's not from me either.

- This is... awkward.
- Not for me.

Uh, i'm gonna go get changed
for the meeting.

Don't think you're gonna get more
stes just because i'm embarrassed.

What about
something like this one?

Oh, good god in heaven,
these can't possibly be mine.

How much weight can you lose
in an hour and a half?

Becca, i have to tell you,

I found out about tommy
and your friend lena.

- Oh, i'm so sorry, nora.
- Here, help me.

It came out at the last family
dinner. Of course. Where else?

Obviously, julia and tommy
have a whole lot to work on,

But it really bothers me
that she's still dating justin.

What kind of girl is she?

Wait.
Uh, they're still dating?

I thought you knew.

No. No, i-I had no idea.

I-I haven't spoken to either
of them since kitty's wedding.

You haven't spoken to him
since the wedding?

No. No, he hasn't called.

Well, that's what
i'm talking about.

He's just spending
every waking hour with her.

You know, i-I just wish
i never got her that job.

Sweetheart, don't blame yourself.
It's not your fault.

Oh, that's nice.

I want something...

quiet and elegant
and sophisticated,

Like he is.

Wow.
You really like this guy.

Hey.

Hey. What are you doing here?

I was just, um,
upstairs helping your mom

Get ready for her date with isaac.

Cool.

Yeah.

And?

Juin, why didn't you
just tell me

That you're still dating lena?

Sorry i forgot
to send out the memo.

No, i just don't understand,
because, like,

Don't you care that
she slept with tommy? I mean--

It was a mistake, okay?

Really? Because usually when people
do something over and over again,

That's not really a mistake.

That's--That's more
of a hobby or--

Or--Or what?
An addiction, right?

I didn't say that but, you know,
now that you mention it,

There are some glaring
similarities.

- Look, this is ridiculous.
- Is it?

Because it seems
pretty self-Destructive,

What you're doing.
I me, you're ...

you're tearing your family apart.
Like, why is it a secret?

Why won't you just
tell everyone?

I don't need this. If you have
a problem with me dating lena,

That's exactly what it is.
It's your problem, okay?

I don't have a problem.

The bottom line is
you're hurting people, justin,

And you're gonna get hurt.

Uh, i'm feeling
a little entourage-Deficient.

I'll try not to take
that comment personally.

??? Mr. Liao, nice to meet you

???

??? Your fellow

???

Which one's
the translator?

???

You're the translator?

You're at my mercy,
aren't you?

Ten stores. Ten stores.

Hey, i just wanted to check in.
Today was pretty awkward.

I just want to make sure
everything's okay.

Everything's fine. Thanks.

Look, uh,

I know that it isn't easy
with me being here.

And julia didn't seem happy.

No. No, she's not.

Well, i'm sorry.

Don't be.
It's not your problem.

But... justin is.

Is that your way
of asking me about him?

Yeah.

I just--I don't...
i don't know where it's going.

Join the club.

I mean, i have no idea where
julia and i are going either.

You know,
it's actually easier

To talk to you
than her right now.

Yeah, well, it's always
been easy with us.

Yeah.

Whoa. Whoa. Uh,
what--What are you doing?

No, wait. I-I just--
I thought you said--

I don't know what i said,

But i-I-I love julia.

I'm sorry.

No, it's, uh...

so ???

Is robert gonna
take california?

Well, he has
the home state advantage.

And now with this gulf scandal
behind him, his numbers are up.

You really think
he's gonna win.

Well, i never call a race
before it's over.

Mmm. Good, thank you.

You tell me what
you think about this.

It's south african
and surprising.

I don't ch like surprises.

Well, i think you'll like this one.

Wow.

That's wonderful.

Have you ever been
to south africa?

No, have you?

Oh, about five years ago,
before my wife claire got sick,

I took the whole family.

Well, i went to west africa
to explore my ancestry.

We went to mali
and to car senegal

And the gambia.

It was quite a trip.

Really?

If i were to explore my ancestry,
i don't know where i'd go.

I don't know
where i come from.

I'm a little of this
and a little of that.

I'm...

i'm a mutt.

Well, i'd say you're a very
well-Put-Together mutt.

So what, you just wanted
company on the plane?

Trust me, your being here is
crucial to us getting this deal.

How? All i did was nod.

I would ve liked
the chance to present.

Well, you didn't see mr. Lao
talking, did you? Huh?

It makes you seem
more powerful if you

Let your minions speak for you.

I didn't even know
what you said.

- Ah.
- If i hear anything about
a hundred stores, i swear--

Sarah, trust me.

- Miss walker.
- Mm.

We are very impressed
with your proposal.

Thank you.

We would like ojai, california,
produce on the shelves

???

In how many stores?

Well, mr. Finch makes
a very strong case.

We would like to start
with our ten flagship stores.

Thank you, mr. Lao.

That is very good news.

Ah, please forgive me,

- But i have an early
flight tomorrow.
- Of course.

I look forward
to doing business,

And i wish you
and your family

Every success
in the coming year.

Bye

Thank you very much.

My family?

Well, i may have
accidentally let slip

That your brother-In-Law is
about to become president.

You didn't!

Tell me off later
over a drink, okay?

So, jason, wre exactly
were you in malaysia?

Were you--Were you
in the middle of the jungle?

Well, i was just outside
of kota kinabalu.

- Kota... kin...
- Kinabalu.

Yeah, it was--
It was very jungly.

Wow.

Must have been hard being
so far away from your home.

It was isolating, yeah.

I thought you were
so engrossed in your work,

You wouldn't have time
for thoughts like that.

I was hoping
it would be that way,

But, uh, you know, the truth is,
i just wanted to come home.

I felt like that every single
time i went to summer camp.

I think i called home
twice a day.

Calling home wasn't
really aoption for me.

Why not?
No cell phone coverage?

I was having a crisis
of faith, actually.

Really? I didn't know that. Oh,
but then, you didn't tell me.

I'm--I'm sorry. I was spending
my time talking to god.

At least you were
talkin' to someone.

And you don't need a cell phone
to talk to god, right?

I'm gonna go to the kitchen.
Can i get anybody anything?

Why don't you just drop
the hostess act?

Okay.

You guys had things
to resolve. It's obvious.

So why bring home
crustaceans?

I-I'd love to know what
you think we have to resolve.

I have nothing to resolve.

He keeps saying that.

No, no, it's quite sple, honestly--

We were together,
he went to malaysia,

I never heard from him
again, end of story.

Oh, really? Okay, what about
the part where you promised

To wait for me and then
broke up with me on the phone?

I'm surprised
you picked up the phone.

- You want to know
why i didn't call?
- Why?

I thought it would
make it worse.

- Worse?
- I missed you too much, okay?

I-I thought if i could
just focus on where i was

- And what i was trying to do--
- You know-- You know what that is?

That's the worst excuse
i've ever heard.

You made me feel like
we were through, over,

Like ias some materialistic
guy you had no time for.

And you guys have nothing
to resolve. Right.

Stay out of this
for one minute.

No. Why don't you just
ask him why he came home?

I'm sure you want to know.

Well, it wasn't for him,
if that's what you're thinking.

He dumped me. That's when
i found my spiritual strength--

- Finally.
- So god won after all.

Yes, kevin. In a contest
between you and god, god won.

Great. So everything
worked out for the best.

Yeah, perfect.

Well, i'm really gla
we had that talk.

Hey.

Hi.

What is this stuff?

You said you had
some questions about him,

So i thought i'd answer them.

That's his yearbook picture...

pictures from prom, letters
from high school, everything.

And what about you and lena?
When did you sleep with her?

I told you.

It was a couple weeks
after you left, and, uh,

You accused me of being
responsible for william's death.

You remember that?

So while you were off
dealing with your emotions,

How did--How did you just
hook up with your ex-Boyfriend?

I was dealing
with my emotions.

I was also bored and lonely,
and i ran into someone i knew,

And we had a couple drinks,
and--And i got hammered!

What about you and lena?
Were you drunk?

Yeah, the first time.

The first time? So were
you sober the second, third--

You went away, all right?
Gone! Nothing!

You think that gives you
a right to cheat?

Well, what's your excuse?

I'll get her.

No, tommy.

We've got to
figure this out...

for her.

I know.

Lena?

I know i owe you
two weeks notice

And that i'm not being
professional or whatever,

But i just--
I can't be here anymore.

Did something happen?

Listen, i'm not gonna sue
or anything,

If that's what
you're worried about.

What made you decide
to do this now?

I thought i was
in love with tommy...

but clearly...

i'm screwed up.

When i was with william,

I thought, this isn't perfect,

It's a compromise,
but it's my choice.

I even thought
that i was in control.

And for 20 years,

I let that idea and that man
dictate who i was.

When i finally realized that
i was just filling in the gap

For somebody else's
relationship, it was too late,

And i couldn't leave.

It is better if you
figure this out now.

I hope so.

Lena.

Use this opportunity to find
something that's yours.

Okay, make it for 10:00,
and then change the 2:00.

All right. Okay.

I'm--I'm sorry.

That's okay.

How are you, nora?

Um... well, i've hardly seen
justin all week,

But you'll be very happy
to hear that

Tommy and julia have said
that they really, truly have--

Nora?

I asked, how are you?

Not your kids.

Oh.

How i am i

I have no idea.

Uh, travis?

I'm not gonna deal
with that right now,

Don't call back.

I'm dealing with something
extremely important.

You understand?

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

You're right.
This wine is surprising...

a very nice surprise.

???For my brother-In-Law--

He's ertainly t best-Lookg
candidate we've ever had.

Yeah, not to mention he'd make
a damn fine president.

To senator mccallister and his
unwitting assist in today's victory.

I suppose if my sister
has to marry a republican,

I should benefit
in some fashion.

Well, you know, you're just
gonna end up being so rich that,

Uh, you're probably gonna have
to become a republican yourself.

That's a depressing thought.

Okay, so what happens

If robert doesn't make it
to the white house?

Well, that connectn
just got us in the door.

By election day, they're
gonna be so impressed

By ojai foods and by you,
it's... it's not gonna matter.

- Well, i hope you're right.
- Oh, yeah.

- To golden plum.
- And its ten flagship stores.

So now you don't want
mccallister to win? Why is that?

Wrong party,

Though i suppose it'd
be fun you need a date?

???I've got a tux and everything.

I'm weighing my options.

Huh.

Oh, damnoh, ow,

I'm afraid you're gonna have to
go on option-Weighing because,

Uh, i got a late dinner.

What happened to our fun night
out in san francisco?

Uh...

i'm--I'm sorry,
but i-I really thought

Our night out
was off the table.

It--It was.
I'm just kidding.

Graham?

- Hi.
- Hey.

Sorry. I was, um,
waiting in the lobby.

Oh, not at all. Uh, yvonne calo,
this is sarah walker.

- Hi.
- ???M actually doing, uh, work
for her company at the moment.

Be careful of this one.
He'll make you a ton of money,

And then you'll never
want to wat tm go.

That's right.

I'll try to remember that.

Come on.

Oh, and, uh, just to remind you
that tomorrow morning

The car's coming
really early--7:30.

Okay. Nice to meet you,
yvonne.

You too

Yvonne.

Figures.

Okay, if you're not gonna talk
about what happened tonight,

I'm gonna go out.

Nothing to talk about.
You ambushed my tea party.

I got out of work early.

No, no, no. You made sure
you got out of work early.

Okay, fine. Well, actually,
now i know what's going on.

Well, i'm glad you d
because i don't.

Exactly. You don't know.

You don't know how you feel
about br, about him, about anything.

If you did, you might have
to choose, really choose,

Instead of...
instead of pretending.

Is that what we're doing,
pretending?

You tell me.

Because i don't feel
like i live here.

- I stay here
because you let me.
- Ohh.

Do you realize there's
nothing in this apartment

That's mine except clothes?

What do you want me
to do, scotty?

Be honest with me.

If you're still in love
with jason mccallister--

No, i am not in love
with jason mccallister.

Why do you have
to be so jealous?

Because if you could see
the two of you together--

If you don't trust me, leave.

Fine.

Oh, god. Where are you?

I'm leaving.
Isn't that what you want?

Yeah, it is.
Have a great night.

Hey.

Hey.

Where's, uh, where's mom?

Uh, i don't know.
Think she's out with isaac.

Mind if i join you?

Yeah, whatever.

Listen, i... i know
it hasn't been easy between us,

And we haven't exactly been
honest with each other,

And you're probably
gonna want to kill me.

But, um...

lena tried to kiss me.

I know.

You do?

Yeah, she told me
the wholthy.

Look, i didn't do anything. I--

I know. She said
it was her fault, you know.

It's fine.
We broke up anyway.

??? Are you ok?

Not really, but ...

i guess it's probably
what's best for me.

Turns out if you want
to escape reality,

Sex is almost
as good as pills.

Tell me about it.

I'm sorry, man.

Me, too.

You know,
sometimes it really sucks

We can't have
a beer together.

Well, we can.
You just have to drink it.

Go away. I'm busy.

Would you please
open the door?

No.

Scotty, open the door.

Wow, i love what you've
done with the place.

Yeah, well,
at least it's mine.

I'm sorry.

No, i... shouldn't have
barged in on your tea party.

Yeah, enough with
the shellfish now.

But you know what? When you
walked in, i was secretly so proud.

Of what?

Of you,

Of how genuine you are
and how crazy and honest and--

Jealous.

Mm...

so how do i make this better?

I don't want you
to see him anymore.

???

I know you're gonna
run into him at family stuff.

Yeah.

I just don't want you
making plans with him.

Okay.

Promise.

Really?

I don't think you get how much
i want us to be together.

God, now i feel like
an idiot for asking.

Why?

It only makes memakes oumakere.

You know what? I-I actually
do have to go to work,

And i don't want to get caught
getting busy in a 1970s ranchero...

- okay.
- Beautiful as it is.

I'll see you
when y get home?

Okay.

So, uh, lena quit last night.

Did you ask her to?

No. Holly said
it was her decision.

I don't--
I don't know the details.

Hey, come on,
this is a good thing.

She's not the problem.
We are.

I think we need
to see someone.

And i know you don't like
to ask for help,

And i know the last thing
you want to do

Is talk to some stranger
about our personal lives, but...

yes.

Whatever it takes,
we'll do it.

Thank you.

Hey there.

Mr. Finch. Missed you
on the plane this morning.

I hope yvette made you
a nice breakfast.

- Actually, it's yvonne.
- Oh.

And, uh, would you
believe me if i told you

She just wanted
investment advice,

And i left her at
a perfectly reasonable hour?

Not so much.

Okay. Uh,

I did advise her to invest in
a working alarm clock, though.

Listen, uh, you were
right yesterday.

I'd have scared them off.

Well, you're the reason
we were there, so thank you.

My pleasure.

And i still owe you
a fun night out.

Don't hold your breath.

Okay.

Hello?

Oh, hey, i heard that dinner
went really well.

- You did?
- Mm-Hmm

You talked to him?
All right, what did he say?

Oh, well, that's privilege
campaign information, mother.

- Sorry.
- Kitty!

Okay, he--He seemed
very happy, smitten, even.

Smitten, even?

He did. He just--He--He said
that he had a great time.

- He did?
- Mm-Hmm.

- You know what?
- What?

We had a really great time.

Okay. Okay.
Just remember, mom.

Remember what you
always used to say to me.

- Yeah?
- You just take it slow.

You make him wait.

Remember the last time
we were here?

I'd just found out
you existed.

Yeah, you were, ke,
the only one in your family

That was actually
talking to me.

It's crazy, huh?

Yeah, now you're, like, the only
one that's not talking to me.

Look, rebecca, i just
want to say i'm sorry.

Like you were right about
lena and about everything.

Say it.

What?

You know what.

I wasn't gonna say anything.

- Told you so.
- I knew it! I knew it.
