Previously on "brothers & sisters"...
is he really not taking any medition?
The doctors told him by notaking the
painkillers,he's interfering with his own recovery.
You're seeing your ex-wife?
This,it's over.
Your dad wants to take
you and elizabeth home,
and not just for the weekend.
William's death... I blame you,tommy.
I'm not pretending anymore.I'm gay.
That's wonderful for you.
We just went straight to
being lovers,then fighters.
We were never friends.Maybe
we could try that.
I am sorry that you think
that.I still love you.
I got mother of the year all sewn up.
Saul,this is lena,uh,the
new office manager.
I trust you,and you
better win this election.
That is the plan,miss walker.
okay,okay,so those two are best friends,
and he's her boyfriend.
- Wait,the one who made her get the boobs?
- No,he didn't make her get the boobs.
It was...he supported
her in her decision.
I can't...I can't believe
you watch this crap.
I mean,is this what you were
doing when I was in iraq?
sweetie,I'm so glad
you're feeling better.
I just happened to be in the
kitchen,so I made you guys some lunch.
- Wow,mom.
- Well,it's no big deal.
It's,uh,swiss and avocado
and nitrate-free turkey bacon.
You won't miss the nitrates.The
pork maybe,not the...
ma,uh,re-rebecca just got
double-doubles,so we just ate.
Oh.Gosh,I guess I-I should've asked.
I...I'll just...I'll put
it in the fridge.Sure.
Oh.that's the problem.
oh,excuse me.
uh,what time do you wanna leave
for the physical therapist?
Um...
oh,I thought I was taking him.
Oh,no,no,no,rebecca.You've done
so much already.It's no problem.
Nora,you're letting me live
here.It's the least I can do.
Okay.Thanks.
- one more thing.
- Yeah.
- Um,did you take your pill?
- Trying to watch a show here,mom.
I know.It's...four hours are up.
- Yes,mom,I took my pill.
- Good.
Mom,don't you have,like,four
other kids to worry about?
Seriously,I mean,ma,sarah's
going through a divorce,and...
and kitty's planning a
wedding,tommy's got a newborn,
and kevin's in,like,a long-distance
relationship with a minister,
which is possibly the
scariest thing I've heard.
Like,do you feel like
spreading it out at all?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- Spreading.
- Spreading.
- Spreading.
- Spreading.
I am so pathetic.
All I am missing is a lionel
richie song and a pint of ice cream.
- Kitty,any luck?
- Uh,um...
sa-sarah,just...just
hold on one second.
No.I don't know.I-I know
I put it on your desk.
look,I'm not trying to place
blame.I just gotta have the report.
It's confidential,I have the
texas board of ed tomorrow,
and,of course,our consultant
on this is in hawaii.
Oh,god.I wish I was in hawaii.
Did you get walter to check the car?
Yes,all six of them.
- I'm with travis.
- I'll keep looking.
- kitty!
- God,who sends anything by snail mail nowadays?
It's just...I don'T...
okay,sarah,where,um,where were we?
- Um...
- you know what you get for ten years of marriage?
daffodils,diamonds or...
an aluminum paperweight.That's
correct,ladies and gentlemen.
Ten years,and all you get
is a stupid paperweight.
And you know the tragic thing
is,I didn't even get that.
Have you been day drinking?
So what if I'm supposed
to hire a divorce attorney?
So what if he's got the
kids for the next two days?
So what if it was our wedding
anniversary tomorrow night?
Oh,god!Sarah!
Sarah,tomo...oh,your...it's
your anniversary.
oh,god,it's mom.
She's gonna be so sympathetic.
I'm gonna end up having to comfort her.
Well,just leter sympathize
th your voice mail.
- Oh,sarah,are...are you okay?
- Sure.
I'm just gonna spend the evening
watching my wedding video and howling.
don't tell me.We should never
have set up her speed dial.
Hold on.I'll get rid of her.
hello,mom.Hi.How are you?I
can't talk right now.Bye.
Wait,wait!Oh.
All right.Fine.
- Hey,are you there? -
Mm-hmm.Did you get rid of her?
- Define "rid."
- oh,god,now she's calling me again!
What does she want?
Uh,you know,I don't know.she's just mom.
She does this stuff.You know,I don't...
she gets on a mission and then she...
kitty?
Feinberg Swope Prenuptial Agreement
- Kitty! - Sa-sarah,I'm
gonna call you back.
Okay.
A paperweight.
- Did you find it?
- What?
The report.
Oh,yeah.Um,I did.Here.
Yeah.
Wow,um,you know,I really don't like
going through your personal things.
Come on,honey.We're getting
married and we work together.
It's hardly like there's a line between
our professional and our private lives.
Wow,you really are a good
politician,aren't you?
I just wanna talk to my wife.
Oh,it's funny how every
time I call,she's out.
Your mom's on line one.
"space"?Look,she's in another state.
How much more space does she need?
Fine.Great.
Let hernow.Bye.
Hey,tommy,we have a problem.
The head distributor from
primary foods just called,
and they wanna slash the supermarket
prices from $29 to $15 a bottle.
No way.That's a joke.
We'd be selling the wine for
less than the it costs to make it.
No.We have a deal.
Which is why I put a meeting
on the books for tomorrow.
Tommy,we need this
account.Prepare to fight.
Whoa,wow.
You said a few people...
well,you know what they
say,30's the new few.
Yeah,I just...
I don't know,I wasn't expecting...
- all men?
- Yeah.
Well,I guess I should've warned you,but then
you would've found an excuse not to come.
Oh,come on,milo.I may be a lot of
things,but I'm certainly not that.
Come on.We can catch up.
Good,'cause I don't know anybody here.
What'll you have?
Uh,I'll have a gin
martini,straight up,very cold.
Olives,please.
duck rellenos with jalape?o relish?
Uh,I'll be right back.
- Try these.They're great.
- Okay.
saul.
Uh,scotty.Um,kevin's ex.
We met last year at nora's,at the
most awkward dinner party ever.
The one with the fantastic
mango peach salsa.
Oh,yeah.
Yeah,yeah,I remember.
- Dinner parties.
- uh,yeah.
Uh,no.Thank you.
Nice to see you,scotty.
- hi.
- Hi.
- We're going away.
- We are?
Yes.We're avoiding.
What are we avoiding?
Oh,well,you know,things like life
and work and ex-husbands,fiances.
I booked us really good
package deal at ojai springs...
- for tomorrow night.
- Wait.What,tomorrow?
- I can'T.
- Oh,sarah.
Come on,it's been way too long
since we've done anything,just us.
No,we're...we're gonna
go.It's gonna be great.
We're gonna get rubbed.We're gonna
get scrubbed.we're gonna get wrapped.
No divorce talk,no
wedding talk,no stress.
No stress?Who's not stressed?
- hi,mom.
- Hi.
- I didn't know you were here.
- Yeah.Mom came to cheer me up.
I'm helping sarah go through
all the kids' old clothes.
Yeah,and she's taking me
to the movies tomoow night.
It's the ingmar bergman
retrospective at the egyptian.
oh,mom.But don't you think that's
just a little bit of a downer?
- I mean...
- no.Oh,no.
It's "fanny and alexander."
Oh,kitty,you should come.
Wh...you know,mom,actually,I-I have
booked a spa for sarah in...in ojai.
- Yeah,ojai springs spa.
- Oh.
But you know what?You...you
guys have plans.
- We'll...we'll...
- we'll do it another time.
- Don't...
- I'm sorry.
Oh,no.Sarah,you should go with kitty.
I just wanted to make sure
you were busy tomorrow night.
- Really?
- Absolutely.
- You know,good for you?
- Yeah.
- Yes,yes.
- Ingmar can wait.
- Yeah,that's true.
- Really,you'll have so much fun.
- This is a fabulous place.
- It is
Your father and I used
to go there all the time.
There's hiking and horseback riding
and this beautiful view of the valley,
and you can sit there
and have dinner and...
I haven't been there in so long.
It was beautiful,and it
could be very,very green.
- All right.Mom?
- Yeah?
Why don't you come with us?
- Me?
- Yeah.
Oh,no.You two need some sister time.
I-I would just be tagging
along.Look,I'm sorry.
I-I can'T.I just have
things,uh,justin...
oh!
- Good point.
- Oh,that's true.
Of course,he survived iraq.
You would think he could survive one
night in pasadena without his mother.
yeah,but you...you know,it's...it's...
- it's all the medications.
- The medication.
You have him on such a very
strict dosage,um,schedule.
- It'll mess it up.
- No.
But rebecca is there,
and she's perfectly capable of understanding
what "every four to six hours" means.
It would be so great.
We could stay up late,kitty,and
plan your wedding.
Sarah,we need to get some serious talking
in about you and your joe situation.
We could regroup and get perspective.
It would be so great...
a real girls' getaway.
Yeah!
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
Brothers And
Sisters Season 2 Episode 4
It was a big gay cocktail
party,what more do you want from me?
Uh,details.
You're not honestly
insinuating saul was there.
No,I'm not insinuating.He was.
Okay,so it was all
gay men and uncle saul.
Why do I feel like I'm
being cross-examined?
All I said was,"you never
told me your uncle's gay."
I was making small talk.
S-small talk?
This is small talk..."nice
weather we're having."
This is my uncle saul
we're talking about.
I think I would know if he were gay.
You know what?A lot of straight
people go to gay parties.
I'm just saying,if you'd seen the way he and
this milo guy were looking at each other...
oh,wow,they looked at each
other.How incriminating.
Why are you being so defensive?
He's dated women.He even dated
my dad's mistress,for god sake.
You said that relationship
was doomed from the start.
And how many 60-year-old
men do you know
who have never had a serious
relationship with a woman?
Kevin,it's time for you to take off
your prada shades and open your eyes.
primary foods is just trying to compete.
If our number doesn't cover your costs,
maybe you should consider other
cost-efficient ways to produce.
Mm,maybe we should
put our wine in boxes,
save money on bottles?
Hey.Sorry I'm late.
- Neil
- Hey,sorry..
Neil wants to box our wine.
your partner has a very
funny sense of humor,tommy.
But as I was about to explain,
this is a corporate decision.
You're trying to lowball us,take
advantage because we're a new company.
a new company that's fighting
for shelf space against major brands.
Look,we need to sell your wine at
a price where we can move units.
tommy,do you have something
you want to add here?
uh...
yeah,look,at the end of the day,
if we can't compete,we
don't belong in their stores.
So what's the point in going
around in circles about it?
Whoa.
that was better than sex.
Honey,I'm happy for you.
- kiy,are you limping?
- I don't know.
My guy was into some sort
of deep tissue elbow moves.
Ow.How was urs?
I gave away my appointment.
You guys have to try the cucumber water.
- You've just been sitting here all this time?
- I wanted to finish this.
sarah,sarah,you have to look
at this.It's all about divorce.
- Oh,great.
- So you're not gonna get a massage at all?
I would just feel like I had to make
conversation.I've got so much to talk about.
Mom,the point is you try
not to talk.It's not therapy.
Excuse me,ladies,I'm glad
you're enjoying our oasis.
But would you mind just
keeping it down a bit...
- in the quiet room?
- oh,sorry.
- sarah...
- shh!
- Sarah,this article is...
- mom,mom,mom,stop.Stop.
- don't...don't ruin her buzz immediately.
- Yeah,you're killing my buzz,mom.
this is so interesting.It's
really very uplifting.
It says here that we're in the...
the era of the "starter marriage"...
whatever that means... and that there's just
tons of young divorcees like yourself out there.
- Oh,goody,more competition.
- Oh.
Oh,look,look.Divorce on
the rise.Okay,well...well,
what's uplifting about that?
"men admitted that sleeping with a divorcee
felt like sleeping with another man's wife."
"which,according to bill from seattle,is
an incredible turn-on."You see?
okay,well,bill...bill
needs to be incarcerated.
No,bill from seattle needs
to give me his number.
- listen,listen,listen.
- Shh.
sorry.It says the 7-year itch
now down to the 3-year itch.
3?oh,come on,mom.That's ridiculous.
- It's not the three years.Who writes this crap?
- Shh,quiet!
- Kitty,you need a cold towel.
- You know what,mom?I don't want a cold towel.
I ju...please,please,guys.
Don't forget that I'm
getting married.Okay?
Can we please stop
talking about the "d" word?
Oh,please.The "d" word?
It's divorce,not cancer.
I'm gonna go take a steam.
- sarah.
- Don't speaK.
so I just wanted to make sure that
you got the notes on the speech.
yeah,I have it right in front of me.
Hey,let me ask you which is better...
"english is a right all
students are entitled to,"
or "english is something all
students should aspire to"?
- I'm sorry?
- Itchy.
Itchy,the itch.
- Should I be concerned?
- No,I'm not talking about that.
Is...is walter right there with you?
Yes.Kitty,why are you whispering?
Just want us to be able to communicate.
I am your communications
director,for god sake.
- Kitty,what are you talking about?
- I am talking about us.
I mean,so if you have any doubts or...
or reservations,I just..I...
honey,I-I just want you
to be honest with me.
Kitty,I have to give this english
immersion speech in seven minutes,
and I'm still getting pounded
by the policy guys,okay?
That's all you have to say to me?
Well,that and I have to take a leak.
- How's that for communication?
- Hi.
sorry to interrupt.We don't
allow cell phones in the spa area.
Make sure you include the
statistics on higher education.
Yeah,yeah.You know,you're
doing great,justin.
- My knee is barely bending.
- No,no,no.
A few degrees of motion is tremendous
progress in a short amount of time.
don't be embarrassed.
Your girlfriend will
like you either way.
Oh,no,no,she's my sister.
Oh,well,then she has to love you.Huh?
- it's so depressing.
- women do it all the time,sweetie.
God,thank god you're here.
Mom's been trying to convince
me on the joys of single life.
Well,I loved my single days,and
I'm missing them right now.
You see?You see?
Mom,it's completely different.
Kitty was young and fabulous
and didn't have kids.
- Oh,what are you saying?Look at you.
- You know,look at me.
- Yeah,exactly.
- Yeah.You...
- you're more fabulous now than ever.
- Absolutely.
- I could ow you a picture from three years ago.
- Thank you,thank you.
- You'd kill yourself.
- Thank you,thank you.
- I'm telling you.
- Look,I know,things could be worse.I could be tommy.
What?What's wrong with tommy?
- I'm gonna try that cucumber water.
- Sarah.
- What do you mean?
- Nothing.
Oh,just that,you know,at
least I don't have an infant.
Can you imagine dating
and breast-feeding?
Ugh.Ugh.
- Well,tommy's not breast-feeding.
- What are you hiding?
Okay.
Okay,I went over to
tommy's the other night.
He swore me to secrecy,so
neitherf you can say anything.Mom.
- I won't say anything,ever.
- Okay.
Julia isn't visiting her parents.
- No?
- No.She's staying there,indefinitely.
- What?
- She left elizabeth?
No,mom,she took elizabeth with her.
- oh,my god!Now if tommy finds out I told...
- What?She took elizabeth?

I'm sorry,but you're gonna
have to leave the quiet room.

the vineyard to see tommy.

- Don't...give me my purse.
You promised.
You promised you wouldn't say anything.
I won'T.I won't say anything.
We're in ojai.He's
just ten minutes away.
I just thought I'd check
in,see if he's okay.
Mom,he doesn't want us to know.
Now stop it.You can't fix everything.
First,it's project wedding,project
justin,project sarah.
Now it...now it's
project tommy.Just stop.
Yeah,can we get back to project me?
Mom,I need you.
It's why we're here.
Oh,honey.Oh,I didn't mean...
- every time,it's always...
- you know what?
Let's all go have a drink
and we can talk,okay?
Give me my purse back.
All right.
Bet you know how that works.
Yo,yo,yo!
- Hey,my man.
- Hey,what's up?
- You two met yet?
- No.
Justin walker,garrett fernandez.
- What's up,man?
- Nice to meet you,bro.
- Garrett,I'll be back in about two minutes.
- Yeah.
No rush.I ain't going nowhere.
- what's up,man?
- How you doing?
Leg got shattered,crushed under
a humvee.It was good times.
So are you in a lot of pain or...
dude,I'm-a be honest with you.I'm
as high as a kite right now.
I can't feel a thing.
I'm sorry,ladies.It's a private event.
And the maple grill is
still undergoing renovations.
You could try in-room dining.
will you excuse me?
in-room dining.
- That's so depressing.
- Our rooms are too small.
I'm not doing that.
Oh,oh,kitty!Kitty,kitty,kitty,it's
a wedding.
Oh,wait a minute,wait a minute,you guys.
- Lamb chops,12:00.
- Ohh,You wanna snag some?
It's a big wedding.We'll blend in.
- Mom!No!
- What
Isn't it enough we just
got kicked out of the spa?
Anyway,they're gonna recognize kittY.
- This is...
- this is ojai,for god sake.
- Keep your head down.Keep your head down.
- I will,I will
- We have no choice.
- Come on.
No!No,no.
Sarah,you of all people shouldn't be afraid
to go in there and grab a couple of lamb chops.
What happened to the girl who used to
throw back bourbon and dance on the bars?
- Yeah.
- Come on.Just be...
apparently,she crashes weddings.
So this morning was a bit of a disaster.
Neil's an ass.
I'm talking about you,tommy.
You wandered in 20inutes late.
You were completely distracted.
- You left your cell phone on.
- It was an off day.
You caved in the middle of
negotiations.You gave up.
I mean,you...you left
me hanging in there.
Your father never would've done that.
Yeah,well,my father had a
wife who actually stuck around.
What are you talking about?
Julia took elizabeth and left,
and I can't seem to get an answer
as to when or if she's coming back.
Oh,tommy.I'm sorry.
And,holly,in the future,don't ever
use my father like that with me again.
mmm.He's cute.
- oh,come on,kitty.
- He's 12!
Mm.
Oh,my!
- Speaking of 12...
- no.
I wonder what number wife
she is.Three,maybe four.
Mm,hey.
- What about him?
- Oh,kitty.
You and I clearly have
very different taste in men.
You know what,sarah?You're
way too picky.
You've gotta shake off the joe.
That's easy to say when
you're engaged,kitty.
mm,don't tell me.
It's your fiance.
oh,thank god.
- So?
- so I think "aspiring" went well.
The board liked it,and,uh,when put that
way,the bilingual guys really couldn't argue.
So what's your position on trophy wives?
- Trophy what?
- Trophy wives.
Yoknow,men with trophy wives.
I'm just curious where
you stand on that issue.
Kitty,what the hell is
happening at that spa?
We can't have a serious conversation
because you don't know
how to be open and honest.
I will talk to you later.
kitty,what do you think of
these little centerpieces?
I hate them...
and my fiance.
- What?
- Who,robert?
No,mother,my other fiance.
robert drew up a prenup
without discussing it with me.
Oh,honey.
Lots of people have prenups today.
It...it really makes a lot of sense.
I mean,he's been
divorced,he has children.
I honestly don't think it's any
reflection on how he feels about you.
- No?
- Really.
I mean,here I am,putting everything
I have into this relationship,
and he's...
he's planning an exit
strategy,planning for failure.
I mean,and who can blame him?
Everywhere you look,there's
another failed marriage.
There's you and dad.There's you and joe.
- There's tommy and julia now.
- Wait.
Tommy's marriage isn't over.
Yeah,and whoa,"failed"
is a very strong word.
I had ten years with joe,
- and ten good years.
- I'm sorry,sarah.
- I didn't mean it that way.
- A toast...
- oh.
- To ten good years.
Right,ten good years.Come on.
Ten good years.
Thank you for bringing these,kevin.
No problem.I was in the area anyway.
I'm catching a 7:00 with
an old friend of mine.
Scotty.You remember scotty.
Oh,sure.I remember scotty.
Actually,he said he saw
you the other night at,um...
- milo peterman's house?
- Yeah,that's right.
Milo was having some sort
of a housewarming thing.
You...you know that he's
an old friend of mine,right?
Recently divorced.
Right,right,'cause he's gay.
I didn't know that milo's sexual
orientation was any of our business,kevin.
Right,because he's gay.
Yeah.
Hey,listen,I really appreciate
you bringing these documents.
I will sign them,and
then we'll be through.
Wait.Saul,what's going on?
Nothing's going on,kevin.
We're talking about a meaningless party.
One that I probably wouldn't even have attended
if milo hadn't insisted that I be there.
Look,you don't have to justify
being at a friend's house,
but you're acting like
you have something to hide.
Saul,are you gay?
I-I just can't believe
that you're asking me this.
Some cater waiter makes a
random accusation about me,
- and you jump to the conclusion that...
- no,no,no one's accusing you of anything.
But if it's not true,why
are you getting so defensive?
Oh,please,kevin,stop being
such a lawyer with me.
I am allowed to attend a party
without getting the third degree.
Come on,saul,this is
me you're talking to.
Listen,I have so much work to do,
so why don't I just sign
this and then you can go?
You know,when I came out,you
saw how dad treated me.
He made me feel like he
was doing some huge favor,
allowing me to remain
part of my own family.
You could've stuck up for me.
Well,I know that was a
hard time for you,kevin.
Yes,it was,and it wasn't
made any easier by you.
Kinda ironic given this
little turn of events.
There you go.You're
doing what you always do,
jumping to conclusions
that have no basis in fact.
- Fact?Saul,you...
- so listen,
when you are ready to
have an adult conversation,
I would love to talk to you.
But until then,we're done here.
Fine.
Maybe we should find out if
this chef is...is available,
and if they do that kind of...
excuse me,is this seat taken?
um...
I suddenly remembered that I have
to make a very important phone call.
- And...and...and,mother?
- What?
Uh,you need to go to the bathroom.
Yes.I do.I do.
excuse me,I...
need to use the restroom.
Could you please get me my car?
Could you please hurry? Come
on,there you go, there you go.
So how do you know the ppy couple?
Greg is my dad.
Greg the groom greg?
Oh, greg.Oh, greg. I-i... I love greg.
Yeah, most women do.
I'm trying not to get a complex.He's on
wife number three,and I'm still single.
Well, if it'sany consolation, cliff,
This would've been my 10-year weddi
yep,I am about to be a divorcee,
not that that should mean
anything,but feel free to flee.
The most ofreedom happy anniversary.
Really.
tommy.
I don't mean to bother
you.It's almost 7:30.
- Oh,sorry.
- Oh,no,no.It's okay.
Hey,uh,lena?
I know I haven't been the
easiest guy to work for lately,
and I've just had a lot going on.
And I wanted to tell you thank you and
you've been doing a great job.
So please go out and enjoy
your night,or what's left of it.
Yeah.you know,um,traffic actually
is pretty awful at this hour,
and I don't want to be presumptuous,but,
I mean,we are at a winery.
Think it'd be okay to open up a bottle?
I like the way you think.
yes.
cheers.
Cheers.
- hi.
- Uh...
- mom?
- Hi.
Um,what are you doing here?
I'm just over at ojai
springs with your sisters.
I'm dying to see your offices.
Sorry,I didn't realize you had company.
Oh,this is our office manager lena.
Lena,this is my mother.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Very nice to meet you.
- You,too,mrs.
I'll...I'll just...I'll be...over...
oh,tommy,this is wonderful.
Really,really wonderful.
Uh-huh.Mom,save it.
Sarah told you,didn't she?
Oh,tommy,I'm so sorry.This
must be killing you.
I don't understand.What was julia
thinking?Why would she do this?
I don't know.She...
said she needed space.She
needed her family.
She's not saying much at all.
I mean,she won't return my calls.Her
parents are stonewalling me.
Well,then you have to get in the car
right now and yohave to drive there.
- To where?To
phoenix? - Mm-hmm.
I know.That's what you'd do.You're here.
Honestly,tommy,honestly,you
have to drive there.
You have as much say in this
as anyone.She's your wife.
You can't just sit around
and let this happen.
Let it?I didn't just let it,mom.
if there was something I could
do,don't you think I'd be doing it?
Yes.
Look,I appreciate your concern,I do.
And if there was anything
you could do,believe me,
I would tell you.
But this is between
julia and me,all right?
And we will figure it out.
- Just don't worry.Please.
- Oh,how can I not worry?
Just go back to the hotel with
kitty and sarah and have fun...
try to relax.
- Tell linda that I...
- lena.
Lena that I said
good-bye,nice to meet her.
And,tommy,if you talk to sarah or...
or kitty,don't mention
I was here,all right?
- Tommy...
- mom.
- I'm going.
- Okay.
Bye.
- It's,um,it's this one here.
- aha.
- Oh,good.
- Oh.
Whoo!
- just be really good,right?
- Yeah.
damn these little plastic keys,you know?
Why'd they got rid of those
nice,old-fashioned ones?
- You wanna have a go?
- Sure.Yeah.Please.
apparently,your lock hates me.
Great,great,we're being lockblocked.
- Oh,god.
- No,no,I'll figure this out.
God,we should be able to do
this.I should be able to do this.
We could just go down and
get one from the front desk.
I mean,my husband's moved
on.He's back with his ex-wife...
or his ex-ex wife,given
I'm his ex-wife...
not that we're officially divorced,
so I don't even kn what my
official title is,but I am single.
And I'm off mommy duty.
You know,no one's asking me to tuck
them in or read them a scratchy story.
I'm at this gorgeous resort and
with this very nice guy,and...
right.
This isn't happening,is it?
I'm so sorry.This is so embarrassing.
All right,well,ahem,I
should probably get back...
my dad.
oh,god,you know,I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to drag you away
from your father's wedding.
- Are you just gonna hang here?
- Yeah.
Yeah,until you leave.
Then I'm gonna kick the door
down and raid the minibar.
Okay,well,good lk with that.
god.
oh!
Okay,do you want pizza or thai?
And not a word to your mom
that I can barely boil water.
Wow,that's almost 45 degrees in one day.
Doesn't that hurt?
No,it actually feels pretty good.
- This is good news.
- Yeah,that's great.
Um,okay,I hate to...
I hate to ask,but,uh...
you know,this morning,you
were in so much pain and...
and could barely move your leg,and...
then after all the things
that garrett said,um...
so?
Well...
did you up your pain medication,justin?
I can't believe you'd ask me that.
Wow,so,uh,so you don't believe me.
So you think I'm an addict and a liar?
Justin,you were the one who said that you
were worried about taking the pills so...
yeah,because I knew something
like this would happen!
You know,people watching
me and accusing me.
I'm just...I'm making sure that...
so accusing me is gonna
make me feel better?
No,rebecca.You know what?
You of all people,after everything we've
been through,you think I'd lie to you?
You know what?Count them.
- Count them!
- Justin,no.
Just count the pills!
There's seven.They're...they're
all there.
Yeah.You know what?Don't worry
about ordering me anything.
I lost my appetite.
- Justin,I was just...
- don'T.
Yeah,I finished mine,too.
Yeah,my mother's presence
has that effect on people.
Everyone's mother does.
Are you okay?
You wouldn't know this,but,uh,
elizabeth had a brother,a twin.
We had to make a...
a choice right when
they were born and,um...
william died.
Oh.
I had no idea.
God,I'm so sorry.
And julia thinks it's my
fault.She thinks that I did it.
Oh,that's ridiculous.
I don't know,sometimes
I feel like she's right.
You can't blame yourself.
It's just that...
we had to make this decision so quickly.
I was so afraid of...of
losing them both,and...
and they're all gone.
Tommy...no.
It's gonna be okay.
It's just,you...
you can't take it all on and
then worry about everyone else.
Sometimes you need to
just think about yourself.
I appreciate you coming here,kevin.
I was out of line today.
Me,too,saul.
but I do know what you're going through.
I-I know,I know.
We're...we're from
different generations,
and I'm sure you think I
had things a lot easier.
And whatever it is you need from me,
- I'm here for you.
- Okay.
But...
- you don't have to hide anything.
- Kevin...
you have to understand,I'm
not hiding anything from you.
I'm not gay.
I...
I'm not gay.
hi.You girls are back already.
- You are so busted,mom.
- You promised me,mother,
and now you've just
totally been plotting.
I wasn't plotting.You girls were busy.
Oh,right,so you just...
you just went and did something that
we specifically asked you not to do.
And now tommy's furious with me.
Sarah,tommy is only furious with me.
Oh,mother,you know,you just...
you just couldn't help
yourself,could you?
I mean,you really,really
have to learn how to relax.
Oh,would everyone please
stop ordering me to relax?
How can I possly relax?
Mom,you just don't get it.
The whole idea of this weekend
was for us to escape our problems.
Instead,you've rubbed our faces in
them and then gone and created new ones.
Fine,so shoot me.I'm concerned.
And why wouldn't I be concerned?I
mean,look at all of you.
You're consumed with
post-divorce despair.
You're caught up in this
perpetual commitment phobia.
Justin's in constant agony
and lucky to be alive.
Julia has left tommy and
taken elizabeth with her.
And kevin,kev... well,I
don't know about kevin.
He won't return my phone calls.
Okay,all right,mother,so it
hasn't been a banner month for us.
But...but you know what?
- For your own sanity and for ours,just loosen up on the reins a little bit.
- Right.
I mean,stop focusing on us so much
and start focusing on yourself.
I love you.You're my children.
When you're in trouble,I'm
in trouble.I'm sorry.
I don't know how to say,"oh,la-di-da,I
think I'll go play golf."
you're everything I've
ever done with my life.
Believe me,I lay awake at night,
praying you guys will get your lives
together so I can get some sleep.
- Oh,please.
- Oh,for god sake,mother,
we're not responsible for your
sleep nor you for our happiness.
Exactly.We're grown-ups.We're adults.
- We're legal in 50 states.
- Legal?
- We're practically seniors.
- I mean,come on,see?Grown-up.
God,I hate this person,this
mother you see me as,
whose daughters felt so obligated
to where they had to invite her along
on their little spa weekend even
though they didn't want her there.
Well,if you knew it was an
obligation,mom,why did you come?
Yeah,mom,why didn't you just say no?
Yes,I should've said no.I
should've said no,no,no!
- I never should've come.
- Yeah.
- No.
- Ever.
well,that went well.
- hey.
- Good morning.
Good morning.
Weren't you wearing that yesterday?
- We worked late,uh,so...
- I,um,I crashed at a friend'S...
I stayed the night.
- It didn't make sense to drive home.
- In santa barbara.
Tommy,a word?
Do you think I'm stupid?
- Sorry?
- Don't play dumb with me.
I wrote the book on this,remember?
I did it with your father for 20 years
with a hell of a lot more discretion.
Now tell me what I think is
happening isn't actually happening.
- Nothing is happening.
- Oh,really?
Well,then why is it that it took me about
five seconds to pick up on this nothing?
And how long before you think
everybody else starts figuring it out?
Everything I own is
invested in this business.
She is our employee!
look,I...
I know that you have a lot
going on at home with julia,
and I am sorry for
that.Everybody makes mistakes.
God knows I have.
But that is it.
It ends now.
From now on,it is no longer a mistake.
It is a choice.
And I hope you make the right one.
mom!
- We've been looking everywhere for you.
- we've been looking all over for you.
Shh!
I'm just not gonna talk for a while,
no matter how much I think you may need
to hear my fabulous words of wisdom.
You know,I know.
I know what I'm doing.
I know I'm doing my commitment-phobic
thing again and that's why I'm still single.
And I'm using the prenup as an excuse,and
it's probably not a big deal and...
right?
Wait a minute.Mom?
Wait,no,no,no,please.Please
don't do this.
Please.
Well,all right,kitty,just
really quickly.
Honey,maybe it does mean something.
And what,worst case scenario...
robert doesn't have enough
trust in you as a couple?
Maybe he senses your doubts,or
for whatever the reason.
Sometimes you have to have
enough trust for both of you.
And it will shift.
It always does.That's what marriage is.
And if it doesn'T...
never mind.
Come on,mom.Come on.
well,if it doesn't,then
you have to acknowledge it,
have the courage to let go,hurt
like holy hell and move on.
I...you know,I'm not
lecturing.I am not lecturing.
You two are grown-ups and perfectly
capable of taking care of yourselves.
- Miss walker?
- Yes?
And I have an appointment.
hey.
Silent treatment.Very effective.
look,I was wrong,okay?
And if I could take it back,I would,
but you have gotta stop being mad at
me because I can't...I can't take it.
I mean,you're the one person in
my life who actually gets me,and...
I should've known better.
I should've trust you
All right,look,don't
worry about it,okay?
I probably overreacted a
little bit,and,you know,even...
even the smallest dose of this stuff
can sort of amp things up a little.
So in my book,it's squashed.
All right,we're don besides,I've
been waiting for you to get up.
I kinda wanna know if the girl with
the boobs forgave the initials girl.
Did you already art watching?
If I said yes,would
you think less of me?
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You're back.
- Yeah.
oh,honey,I...
I...
accidentally found the prenup.
Ay.
- You didn't have to hide it from me.
- I wasn't hiding it from you.
The lawyers drew it up.I was
gonna talk to you about it.
I understand that you have a
valid reason for wanting a prenup.
You know,you're divorced,you have
kids and you could be president and...
well,that's why the guys drafted it.
Yeah.
And...and yes,you know,the
odds are against us.
And maybe you don't entirely
believe that we're gonna make it,
anthat's okay because I do,and
I'm sorry th i didn't before.
Something just...just hit me last night.
And I don't know,I just know now
that you and i are gonna be okay.
So if you need me to
sign a piece of paper...
kitty,listen to me.
If I wanted you to sign a
prenup,believe me,I would've asked you.
But I don'T.I have faith in us.
Although you make quite
a case for a prenup.
Hmm,well,we can still talk about it.
'Cause I could very easily take
you for everything you're worth.
- Quit talking.
- No,I could.
It wouldn't be hard.
kevin,it's sarah.
Listen,i do need a
lawyer,and you cannot say no.
Call me.
I can't believe this tool has
two girls fighting over him.
I know who'd fight over a
guy with sunglasses like that?
I actually have those sunglasses.
Oh.
I'm gonna go get something
to drink.You want something?
- Sure,yeah.
- Water?
Yeah,that'd be great.
you know,you're right about
this show.I can't stop watching.
I know.It's addictive,right?
is he really not taking any medition?
The doctors told him by notaking the
painkillers,he's interfering with his own recovery.
You're seeing your ex-wife?
This,it's over.
Your dad wants to take
you and elizabeth home,
and not just for the weekend.
William's death... I blame you,tommy.
I'm not pretending anymore.I'm gay.
That's wonderful for you.
We just went straight to
being lovers,then fighters.
We were never friends.Maybe
we could try that.
I am sorry that you think
that.I still love you.
I got mother of the year all sewn up.
Saul,this is lena,uh,the
new office manager.
I trust you,and you
better win this election.
That is the plan,miss walker.
okay,okay,so those two are best friends,
and he's her boyfriend.
- Wait,the one who made her get the boobs?
- No,he didn't make her get the boobs.
It was...he supported
her in her decision.
I can't...I can't believe
you watch this crap.
I mean,is this what you were
doing when I was in iraq?
sweetie,I'm so glad
you're feeling better.
I just happened to be in the
kitchen,so I made you guys some lunch.
- Wow,mom.
- Well,it's no big deal.
It's,uh,swiss and avocado
and nitrate-free turkey bacon.
You won't miss the nitrates.The
pork maybe,not the...
ma,uh,re-rebecca just got
double-doubles,so we just ate.
Oh.Gosh,I guess I-I should've asked.
I...I'll just...I'll put
it in the fridge.Sure.
Oh.that's the problem.
oh,excuse me.
uh,what time do you wanna leave
for the physical therapist?
Um...
oh,I thought I was taking him.
Oh,no,no,no,rebecca.You've done
so much already.It's no problem.
Nora,you're letting me live
here.It's the least I can do.
Okay.Thanks.
- one more thing.
- Yeah.
- Um,did you take your pill?
- Trying to watch a show here,mom.
I know.It's...four hours are up.
- Yes,mom,I took my pill.
- Good.
Mom,don't you have,like,four
other kids to worry about?
Seriously,I mean,ma,sarah's
going through a divorce,and...
and kitty's planning a
wedding,tommy's got a newborn,
and kevin's in,like,a long-distance
relationship with a minister,
which is possibly the
scariest thing I've heard.
Like,do you feel like
spreading it out at all?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- Spreading.
- Spreading.
- Spreading.
- Spreading.
I am so pathetic.
All I am missing is a lionel
richie song and a pint of ice cream.
- Kitty,any luck?
- Uh,um...
sa-sarah,just...just
hold on one second.
No.I don't know.I-I know
I put it on your desk.
look,I'm not trying to place
blame.I just gotta have the report.
It's confidential,I have the
texas board of ed tomorrow,
and,of course,our consultant
on this is in hawaii.
Oh,god.I wish I was in hawaii.
Did you get walter to check the car?
Yes,all six of them.
- I'm with travis.
- I'll keep looking.
- kitty!
- God,who sends anything by snail mail nowadays?
It's just...I don'T...
okay,sarah,where,um,where were we?
- Um...
- you know what you get for ten years of marriage?
daffodils,diamonds or...
an aluminum paperweight.That's
correct,ladies and gentlemen.
Ten years,and all you get
is a stupid paperweight.
And you know the tragic thing
is,I didn't even get that.
Have you been day drinking?
So what if I'm supposed
to hire a divorce attorney?
So what if he's got the
kids for the next two days?
So what if it was our wedding
anniversary tomorrow night?
Oh,god!Sarah!
Sarah,tomo...oh,your...it's
your anniversary.
oh,god,it's mom.
She's gonna be so sympathetic.
I'm gonna end up having to comfort her.
Well,just leter sympathize
th your voice mail.
- Oh,sarah,are...are you okay?
- Sure.
I'm just gonna spend the evening
watching my wedding video and howling.
don't tell me.We should never
have set up her speed dial.
Hold on.I'll get rid of her.
hello,mom.Hi.How are you?I
can't talk right now.Bye.
Wait,wait!Oh.
All right.Fine.
- Hey,are you there? -
Mm-hmm.Did you get rid of her?
- Define "rid."
- oh,god,now she's calling me again!
What does she want?
Uh,you know,I don't know.she's just mom.
She does this stuff.You know,I don't...
she gets on a mission and then she...
kitty?
Feinberg Swope Prenuptial Agreement
- Kitty! - Sa-sarah,I'm
gonna call you back.
Okay.
A paperweight.
- Did you find it?
- What?
The report.
Oh,yeah.Um,I did.Here.
Yeah.
Wow,um,you know,I really don't like
going through your personal things.
Come on,honey.We're getting
married and we work together.
It's hardly like there's a line between
our professional and our private lives.
Wow,you really are a good
politician,aren't you?
I just wanna talk to my wife.
Oh,it's funny how every
time I call,she's out.
Your mom's on line one.
"space"?Look,she's in another state.
How much more space does she need?
Fine.Great.
Let hernow.Bye.
Hey,tommy,we have a problem.
The head distributor from
primary foods just called,
and they wanna slash the supermarket
prices from $29 to $15 a bottle.
No way.That's a joke.
We'd be selling the wine for
less than the it costs to make it.
No.We have a deal.
Which is why I put a meeting
on the books for tomorrow.
Tommy,we need this
account.Prepare to fight.
Whoa,wow.
You said a few people...
well,you know what they
say,30's the new few.
Yeah,I just...
I don't know,I wasn't expecting...
- all men?
- Yeah.
Well,I guess I should've warned you,but then
you would've found an excuse not to come.
Oh,come on,milo.I may be a lot of
things,but I'm certainly not that.
Come on.We can catch up.
Good,'cause I don't know anybody here.
What'll you have?
Uh,I'll have a gin
martini,straight up,very cold.
Olives,please.
duck rellenos with jalape?o relish?
Uh,I'll be right back.
- Try these.They're great.
- Okay.
saul.
Uh,scotty.Um,kevin's ex.
We met last year at nora's,at the
most awkward dinner party ever.
The one with the fantastic
mango peach salsa.
Oh,yeah.
Yeah,yeah,I remember.
- Dinner parties.
- uh,yeah.
Uh,no.Thank you.
Nice to see you,scotty.
- hi.
- Hi.
- We're going away.
- We are?
Yes.We're avoiding.
What are we avoiding?
Oh,well,you know,things like life
and work and ex-husbands,fiances.
I booked us really good
package deal at ojai springs...
- for tomorrow night.
- Wait.What,tomorrow?
- I can'T.
- Oh,sarah.
Come on,it's been way too long
since we've done anything,just us.
No,we're...we're gonna
go.It's gonna be great.
We're gonna get rubbed.We're gonna
get scrubbed.we're gonna get wrapped.
No divorce talk,no
wedding talk,no stress.
No stress?Who's not stressed?
- hi,mom.
- Hi.
- I didn't know you were here.
- Yeah.Mom came to cheer me up.
I'm helping sarah go through
all the kids' old clothes.
Yeah,and she's taking me
to the movies tomoow night.
It's the ingmar bergman
retrospective at the egyptian.
oh,mom.But don't you think that's
just a little bit of a downer?
- I mean...
- no.Oh,no.
It's "fanny and alexander."
Oh,kitty,you should come.
Wh...you know,mom,actually,I-I have
booked a spa for sarah in...in ojai.
- Yeah,ojai springs spa.
- Oh.
But you know what?You...you
guys have plans.
- We'll...we'll...
- we'll do it another time.
- Don't...
- I'm sorry.
Oh,no.Sarah,you should go with kitty.
I just wanted to make sure
you were busy tomorrow night.
- Really?
- Absolutely.
- You know,good for you?
- Yeah.
- Yes,yes.
- Ingmar can wait.
- Yeah,that's true.
- Really,you'll have so much fun.
- This is a fabulous place.
- It is
Your father and I used
to go there all the time.
There's hiking and horseback riding
and this beautiful view of the valley,
and you can sit there
and have dinner and...
I haven't been there in so long.
It was beautiful,and it
could be very,very green.
- All right.Mom?
- Yeah?
Why don't you come with us?
- Me?
- Yeah.
Oh,no.You two need some sister time.
I-I would just be tagging
along.Look,I'm sorry.
I-I can'T.I just have
things,uh,justin...
oh!
- Good point.
- Oh,that's true.
Of course,he survived iraq.
You would think he could survive one
night in pasadena without his mother.
yeah,but you...you know,it's...it's...
- it's all the medications.
- The medication.
You have him on such a very
strict dosage,um,schedule.
- It'll mess it up.
- No.
But rebecca is there,
and she's perfectly capable of understanding
what "every four to six hours" means.
It would be so great.
We could stay up late,kitty,and
plan your wedding.
Sarah,we need to get some serious talking
in about you and your joe situation.
We could regroup and get perspective.
It would be so great...
a real girls' getaway.
Yeah!
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
Brothers And
Sisters Season 2 Episode 4
It was a big gay cocktail
party,what more do you want from me?
Uh,details.
You're not honestly
insinuating saul was there.
No,I'm not insinuating.He was.
Okay,so it was all
gay men and uncle saul.
Why do I feel like I'm
being cross-examined?
All I said was,"you never
told me your uncle's gay."
I was making small talk.
S-small talk?
This is small talk..."nice
weather we're having."
This is my uncle saul
we're talking about.
I think I would know if he were gay.
You know what?A lot of straight
people go to gay parties.
I'm just saying,if you'd seen the way he and
this milo guy were looking at each other...
oh,wow,they looked at each
other.How incriminating.
Why are you being so defensive?
He's dated women.He even dated
my dad's mistress,for god sake.
You said that relationship
was doomed from the start.
And how many 60-year-old
men do you know
who have never had a serious
relationship with a woman?
Kevin,it's time for you to take off
your prada shades and open your eyes.
primary foods is just trying to compete.
If our number doesn't cover your costs,
maybe you should consider other
cost-efficient ways to produce.
Mm,maybe we should
put our wine in boxes,
save money on bottles?
Hey.Sorry I'm late.
- Neil
- Hey,sorry..
Neil wants to box our wine.
your partner has a very
funny sense of humor,tommy.
But as I was about to explain,
this is a corporate decision.
You're trying to lowball us,take
advantage because we're a new company.
a new company that's fighting
for shelf space against major brands.
Look,we need to sell your wine at
a price where we can move units.
tommy,do you have something
you want to add here?
uh...
yeah,look,at the end of the day,
if we can't compete,we
don't belong in their stores.
So what's the point in going
around in circles about it?
Whoa.
that was better than sex.
Honey,I'm happy for you.
- kiy,are you limping?
- I don't know.
My guy was into some sort
of deep tissue elbow moves.
Ow.How was urs?
I gave away my appointment.
You guys have to try the cucumber water.
- You've just been sitting here all this time?
- I wanted to finish this.
sarah,sarah,you have to look
at this.It's all about divorce.
- Oh,great.
- So you're not gonna get a massage at all?
I would just feel like I had to make
conversation.I've got so much to talk about.
Mom,the point is you try
not to talk.It's not therapy.
Excuse me,ladies,I'm glad
you're enjoying our oasis.
But would you mind just
keeping it down a bit...
- in the quiet room?
- oh,sorry.
- sarah...
- shh!
- Sarah,this article is...
- mom,mom,mom,stop.Stop.
- don't...don't ruin her buzz immediately.
- Yeah,you're killing my buzz,mom.
this is so interesting.It's
really very uplifting.
It says here that we're in the...
the era of the "starter marriage"...
whatever that means... and that there's just
tons of young divorcees like yourself out there.
- Oh,goody,more competition.
- Oh.
Oh,look,look.Divorce on
the rise.Okay,well...well,
what's uplifting about that?
"men admitted that sleeping with a divorcee
felt like sleeping with another man's wife."
"which,according to bill from seattle,is
an incredible turn-on."You see?
okay,well,bill...bill
needs to be incarcerated.
No,bill from seattle needs
to give me his number.
- listen,listen,listen.
- Shh.
sorry.It says the 7-year itch
now down to the 3-year itch.
3?oh,come on,mom.That's ridiculous.
- It's not the three years.Who writes this crap?
- Shh,quiet!
- Kitty,you need a cold towel.
- You know what,mom?I don't want a cold towel.
I ju...please,please,guys.
Don't forget that I'm
getting married.Okay?
Can we please stop
talking about the "d" word?
Oh,please.The "d" word?
It's divorce,not cancer.
I'm gonna go take a steam.
- sarah.
- Don't speaK.
so I just wanted to make sure that
you got the notes on the speech.
yeah,I have it right in front of me.
Hey,let me ask you which is better...
"english is a right all
students are entitled to,"
or "english is something all
students should aspire to"?
- I'm sorry?
- Itchy.
Itchy,the itch.
- Should I be concerned?
- No,I'm not talking about that.
Is...is walter right there with you?
Yes.Kitty,why are you whispering?
Just want us to be able to communicate.
I am your communications
director,for god sake.
- Kitty,what are you talking about?
- I am talking about us.
I mean,so if you have any doubts or...
or reservations,I just..I...
honey,I-I just want you
to be honest with me.
Kitty,I have to give this english
immersion speech in seven minutes,
and I'm still getting pounded
by the policy guys,okay?
That's all you have to say to me?
Well,that and I have to take a leak.
- How's that for communication?
- Hi.
sorry to interrupt.We don't
allow cell phones in the spa area.
Make sure you include the
statistics on higher education.
Yeah,yeah.You know,you're
doing great,justin.
- My knee is barely bending.
- No,no,no.
A few degrees of motion is tremendous
progress in a short amount of time.
don't be embarrassed.
Your girlfriend will
like you either way.
Oh,no,no,she's my sister.
Oh,well,then she has to love you.Huh?
- it's so depressing.
- women do it all the time,sweetie.
God,thank god you're here.
Mom's been trying to convince
me on the joys of single life.
Well,I loved my single days,and
I'm missing them right now.
You see?You see?
Mom,it's completely different.
Kitty was young and fabulous
and didn't have kids.
- Oh,what are you saying?Look at you.
- You know,look at me.
- Yeah,exactly.
- Yeah.You...
- you're more fabulous now than ever.
- Absolutely.
- I could ow you a picture from three years ago.
- Thank you,thank you.
- You'd kill yourself.
- Thank you,thank you.
- I'm telling you.
- Look,I know,things could be worse.I could be tommy.
What?What's wrong with tommy?
- I'm gonna try that cucumber water.
- Sarah.
- What do you mean?
- Nothing.
Oh,just that,you know,at
least I don't have an infant.
Can you imagine dating
and breast-feeding?
Ugh.Ugh.
- Well,tommy's not breast-feeding.
- What are you hiding?
Okay.
Okay,I went over to
tommy's the other night.
He swore me to secrecy,so
neitherf you can say anything.Mom.
- I won't say anything,ever.
- Okay.
Julia isn't visiting her parents.
- No?
- No.She's staying there,indefinitely.
- What?
- She left elizabeth?
No,mom,she took elizabeth with her.
- oh,my god!Now if tommy finds out I told...
- What?She took elizabeth?
ladies.
I'm sorry,but you're gonna
have to leave the quiet room.
- What?
- Wh-what?
- You're throwing us out? - Do
I have to call security mnh-mnh.
- Namaste.
- Oh,namaste,my ass.
- Oh,I can't believe...
- I'm so sorry.
mother.Mother,no.
You are not gonna go to
the vineyard to see tommy.
- NO,no,no.
- No,no,I'm not.
- grab her purse.
- Don't...give me my purse.
You promised.
You promised you wouldn't say anything.
I won'T.I won't say anything.
We're in ojai.He's
just ten minutes away.
I just thought I'd check
in,see if he's okay.
Mom,he doesn't want us to know.
Now stop it.You can't fix everything.
First,it's project wedding,project
justin,project sarah.
Now it...now it's
project tommy.Just stop.
Yeah,can we get back to project me?
Mom,I need you.
It's why we're here.
Oh,honey.Oh,I didn't mean...
- every time,it's always...
- you know what?
Let's all go have a drink
and we can talk,okay?
Give me my purse back.
All right.
Bet you know how that works.
Yo,yo,yo!
- Hey,my man.
- Hey,what's up?
- You two met yet?
- No.
Justin walker,garrett fernandez.
- What's up,man?
- Nice to meet you,bro.
- Garrett,I'll be back in about two minutes.
- Yeah.
No rush.I ain't going nowhere.
- what's up,man?
- How you doing?
Leg got shattered,crushed under
a humvee.It was good times.
So are you in a lot of pain or...
dude,I'm-a be honest with you.I'm
as high as a kite right now.
I can't feel a thing.
I'm sorry,ladies.It's a private event.
And the maple grill is
still undergoing renovations.
You could try in-room dining.
will you excuse me?
in-room dining.
- That's so depressing.
- Our rooms are too small.
I'm not doing that.
Oh,oh,kitty!Kitty,kitty,kitty,it's
a wedding.
Oh,wait a minute,wait a minute,you guys.
- Lamb chops,12:00.
- Ohh,You wanna snag some?
It's a big wedding.We'll blend in.
- Mom!No!
- What
Isn't it enough we just
got kicked out of the spa?
Anyway,they're gonna recognize kittY.
- This is...
- this is ojai,for god sake.
- Keep your head down.Keep your head down.
- I will,I will
- We have no choice.
- Come on.
No!No,no.
Sarah,you of all people shouldn't be afraid
to go in there and grab a couple of lamb chops.
What happened to the girl who used to
throw back bourbon and dance on the bars?
- Yeah.
- Come on.Just be...
apparently,she crashes weddings.
So this morning was a bit of a disaster.
Neil's an ass.
I'm talking about you,tommy.
You wandered in 20inutes late.
You were completely distracted.
- You left your cell phone on.
- It was an off day.
You caved in the middle of
negotiations.You gave up.
I mean,you...you left
me hanging in there.
Your father never would've done that.
Yeah,well,my father had a
wife who actually stuck around.
What are you talking about?
Julia took elizabeth and left,
and I can't seem to get an answer
as to when or if she's coming back.
Oh,tommy.I'm sorry.
And,holly,in the future,don't ever
use my father like that with me again.
mmm.He's cute.
- oh,come on,kitty.
- He's 12!
Mm.
Oh,my!
- Speaking of 12...
- no.
I wonder what number wife
she is.Three,maybe four.
Mm,hey.
- What about him?
- Oh,kitty.
You and I clearly have
very different taste in men.
You know what,sarah?You're
way too picky.
You've gotta shake off the joe.
That's easy to say when
you're engaged,kitty.
mm,don't tell me.
It's your fiance.
oh,thank god.
- So?
- so I think "aspiring" went well.
The board liked it,and,uh,when put that
way,the bilingual guys really couldn't argue.
So what's your position on trophy wives?
- Trophy what?
- Trophy wives.
Yoknow,men with trophy wives.
I'm just curious where
you stand on that issue.
Kitty,what the hell is
happening at that spa?
We can't have a serious conversation
because you don't know
how to be open and honest.
I will talk to you later.
kitty,what do you think of
these little centerpieces?
I hate them...
and my fiance.
- What?
- Who,robert?
No,mother,my other fiance.
robert drew up a prenup
without discussing it with me.
Oh,honey.
Lots of people have prenups today.
It...it really makes a lot of sense.
I mean,he's been
divorced,he has children.
I honestly don't think it's any
reflection on how he feels about you.
- No?
- Really.
I mean,here I am,putting everything
I have into this relationship,
and he's...
he's planning an exit
strategy,planning for failure.
I mean,and who can blame him?
Everywhere you look,there's
another failed marriage.
There's you and dad.There's you and joe.
- There's tommy and julia now.
- Wait.
Tommy's marriage isn't over.
Yeah,and whoa,"failed"
is a very strong word.
I had ten years with joe,
- and ten good years.
- I'm sorry,sarah.
- I didn't mean it that way.
- A toast...
- oh.
- To ten good years.
Right,ten good years.Come on.
Ten good years.
Thank you for bringing these,kevin.
No problem.I was in the area anyway.
I'm catching a 7:00 with
an old friend of mine.
Scotty.You remember scotty.
Oh,sure.I remember scotty.
Actually,he said he saw
you the other night at,um...
- milo peterman's house?
- Yeah,that's right.
Milo was having some sort
of a housewarming thing.
You...you know that he's
an old friend of mine,right?
Recently divorced.
Right,right,'cause he's gay.
I didn't know that milo's sexual
orientation was any of our business,kevin.
Right,because he's gay.
Yeah.
Hey,listen,I really appreciate
you bringing these documents.
I will sign them,and
then we'll be through.
Wait.Saul,what's going on?
Nothing's going on,kevin.
We're talking about a meaningless party.
One that I probably wouldn't even have attended
if milo hadn't insisted that I be there.
Look,you don't have to justify
being at a friend's house,
but you're acting like
you have something to hide.
Saul,are you gay?
I-I just can't believe
that you're asking me this.
Some cater waiter makes a
random accusation about me,
- and you jump to the conclusion that...
- no,no,no one's accusing you of anything.
But if it's not true,why
are you getting so defensive?
Oh,please,kevin,stop being
such a lawyer with me.
I am allowed to attend a party
without getting the third degree.
Come on,saul,this is
me you're talking to.
Listen,I have so much work to do,
so why don't I just sign
this and then you can go?
You know,when I came out,you
saw how dad treated me.
He made me feel like he
was doing some huge favor,
allowing me to remain
part of my own family.
You could've stuck up for me.
Well,I know that was a
hard time for you,kevin.
Yes,it was,and it wasn't
made any easier by you.
Kinda ironic given this
little turn of events.
There you go.You're
doing what you always do,
jumping to conclusions
that have no basis in fact.
- Fact?Saul,you...
- so listen,
when you are ready to
have an adult conversation,
I would love to talk to you.
But until then,we're done here.
Fine.
Maybe we should find out if
this chef is...is available,
and if they do that kind of...
excuse me,is this seat taken?
um...
I suddenly remembered that I have
to make a very important phone call.
- And...and...and,mother?
- What?
Uh,you need to go to the bathroom.
Yes.I do.I do.
excuse me,I...
need to use the restroom.
Could you please get me my car?
Could you please hurry? Come
on,there you go, there you go.
So how do you know the ppy couple?
Greg is my dad.
Greg the groom greg?
Oh, greg.Oh, greg. I-i... I love greg.
Yeah, most women do.
I'm trying not to get a complex.He's on
wife number three,and I'm still single.
Well, if it'sany consolation, cliff,
This would've been my 10-year weddi
yep,I am about to be a divorcee,
not that that should mean
anything,but feel free to flee.
The most ofreedom happy anniversary.
Really.
tommy.
I don't mean to bother
you.It's almost 7:30.
- Oh,sorry.
- Oh,no,no.It's okay.
Hey,uh,lena?
I know I haven't been the
easiest guy to work for lately,
and I've just had a lot going on.
And I wanted to tell you thank you and
you've been doing a great job.
So please go out and enjoy
your night,or what's left of it.
Yeah.you know,um,traffic actually
is pretty awful at this hour,
and I don't want to be presumptuous,but,
I mean,we are at a winery.
Think it'd be okay to open up a bottle?
I like the way you think.
yes.
cheers.
Cheers.
- hi.
- Uh...
- mom?
- Hi.
Um,what are you doing here?
I'm just over at ojai
springs with your sisters.
I'm dying to see your offices.
Sorry,I didn't realize you had company.
Oh,this is our office manager lena.
Lena,this is my mother.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Very nice to meet you.
- You,too,mrs.
I'll...I'll just...I'll be...over...
oh,tommy,this is wonderful.
Really,really wonderful.
Uh-huh.Mom,save it.
Sarah told you,didn't she?
Oh,tommy,I'm so sorry.This
must be killing you.
I don't understand.What was julia
thinking?Why would she do this?
I don't know.She...
said she needed space.She
needed her family.
She's not saying much at all.
I mean,she won't return my calls.Her
parents are stonewalling me.
Well,then you have to get in the car
right now and yohave to drive there.
- To where?To
phoenix? - Mm-hmm.
I know.That's what you'd do.You're here.
Honestly,tommy,honestly,you
have to drive there.
You have as much say in this
as anyone.She's your wife.
You can't just sit around
and let this happen.
Let it?I didn't just let it,mom.
if there was something I could
do,don't you think I'd be doing it?
Yes.
Look,I appreciate your concern,I do.
And if there was anything
you could do,believe me,
I would tell you.
But this is between
julia and me,all right?
And we will figure it out.
- Just don't worry.Please.
- Oh,how can I not worry?
Just go back to the hotel with
kitty and sarah and have fun...
try to relax.
- Tell linda that I...
- lena.
Lena that I said
good-bye,nice to meet her.
And,tommy,if you talk to sarah or...
or kitty,don't mention
I was here,all right?
- Tommy...
- mom.
- I'm going.
- Okay.
Bye.
- It's,um,it's this one here.
- aha.
- Oh,good.
- Oh.
Whoo!
- just be really good,right?
- Yeah.
damn these little plastic keys,you know?
Why'd they got rid of those
nice,old-fashioned ones?
- You wanna have a go?
- Sure.Yeah.Please.
apparently,your lock hates me.
Great,great,we're being lockblocked.
- Oh,god.
- No,no,I'll figure this out.
God,we should be able to do
this.I should be able to do this.
We could just go down and
get one from the front desk.
I mean,my husband's moved
on.He's back with his ex-wife...
or his ex-ex wife,given
I'm his ex-wife...
not that we're officially divorced,
so I don't even kn what my
official title is,but I am single.
And I'm off mommy duty.
You know,no one's asking me to tuck
them in or read them a scratchy story.
I'm at this gorgeous resort and
with this very nice guy,and...
right.
This isn't happening,is it?
I'm so sorry.This is so embarrassing.
All right,well,ahem,I
should probably get back...
my dad.
oh,god,you know,I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to drag you away
from your father's wedding.
- Are you just gonna hang here?
- Yeah.
Yeah,until you leave.
Then I'm gonna kick the door
down and raid the minibar.
Okay,well,good lk with that.
god.
oh!
Okay,do you want pizza or thai?
And not a word to your mom
that I can barely boil water.
Wow,that's almost 45 degrees in one day.
Doesn't that hurt?
No,it actually feels pretty good.
- This is good news.
- Yeah,that's great.
Um,okay,I hate to...
I hate to ask,but,uh...
you know,this morning,you
were in so much pain and...
and could barely move your leg,and...
then after all the things
that garrett said,um...
so?
Well...
did you up your pain medication,justin?
I can't believe you'd ask me that.
Wow,so,uh,so you don't believe me.
So you think I'm an addict and a liar?
Justin,you were the one who said that you
were worried about taking the pills so...
yeah,because I knew something
like this would happen!
You know,people watching
me and accusing me.
I'm just...I'm making sure that...
so accusing me is gonna
make me feel better?
No,rebecca.You know what?
You of all people,after everything we've
been through,you think I'd lie to you?
You know what?Count them.
- Count them!
- Justin,no.
Just count the pills!
There's seven.They're...they're
all there.
Yeah.You know what?Don't worry
about ordering me anything.
I lost my appetite.
- Justin,I was just...
- don'T.
Yeah,I finished mine,too.
Yeah,my mother's presence
has that effect on people.
Everyone's mother does.
Are you okay?
You wouldn't know this,but,uh,
elizabeth had a brother,a twin.
We had to make a...
a choice right when
they were born and,um...
william died.
Oh.
I had no idea.
God,I'm so sorry.
And julia thinks it's my
fault.She thinks that I did it.
Oh,that's ridiculous.
I don't know,sometimes
I feel like she's right.
You can't blame yourself.
It's just that...
we had to make this decision so quickly.
I was so afraid of...of
losing them both,and...
and they're all gone.
Tommy...no.
It's gonna be okay.
It's just,you...
you can't take it all on and
then worry about everyone else.
Sometimes you need to
just think about yourself.
I appreciate you coming here,kevin.
I was out of line today.
Me,too,saul.
but I do know what you're going through.
I-I know,I know.
We're...we're from
different generations,
and I'm sure you think I
had things a lot easier.
And whatever it is you need from me,
- I'm here for you.
- Okay.
But...
- you don't have to hide anything.
- Kevin...
you have to understand,I'm
not hiding anything from you.
I'm not gay.
I...
I'm not gay.
hi.You girls are back already.
- You are so busted,mom.
- You promised me,mother,
and now you've just
totally been plotting.
I wasn't plotting.You girls were busy.
Oh,right,so you just...
you just went and did something that
we specifically asked you not to do.
And now tommy's furious with me.
Sarah,tommy is only furious with me.
Oh,mother,you know,you just...
you just couldn't help
yourself,could you?
I mean,you really,really
have to learn how to relax.
Oh,would everyone please
stop ordering me to relax?
How can I possly relax?
Mom,you just don't get it.
The whole idea of this weekend
was for us to escape our problems.
Instead,you've rubbed our faces in
them and then gone and created new ones.
Fine,so shoot me.I'm concerned.
And why wouldn't I be concerned?I
mean,look at all of you.
You're consumed with
post-divorce despair.
You're caught up in this
perpetual commitment phobia.
Justin's in constant agony
and lucky to be alive.
Julia has left tommy and
taken elizabeth with her.
And kevin,kev... well,I
don't know about kevin.
He won't return my phone calls.
Okay,all right,mother,so it
hasn't been a banner month for us.
But...but you know what?
- For your own sanity and for ours,just loosen up on the reins a little bit.
- Right.
I mean,stop focusing on us so much
and start focusing on yourself.
I love you.You're my children.
When you're in trouble,I'm
in trouble.I'm sorry.
I don't know how to say,"oh,la-di-da,I
think I'll go play golf."
you're everything I've
ever done with my life.
Believe me,I lay awake at night,
praying you guys will get your lives
together so I can get some sleep.
- Oh,please.
- Oh,for god sake,mother,
we're not responsible for your
sleep nor you for our happiness.
Exactly.We're grown-ups.We're adults.
- We're legal in 50 states.
- Legal?
- We're practically seniors.
- I mean,come on,see?Grown-up.
God,I hate this person,this
mother you see me as,
whose daughters felt so obligated
to where they had to invite her along
on their little spa weekend even
though they didn't want her there.
Well,if you knew it was an
obligation,mom,why did you come?
Yeah,mom,why didn't you just say no?
Yes,I should've said no.I
should've said no,no,no!
- I never should've come.
- Yeah.
- No.
- Ever.
well,that went well.
- hey.
- Good morning.
Good morning.
Weren't you wearing that yesterday?
- We worked late,uh,so...
- I,um,I crashed at a friend'S...
I stayed the night.
- It didn't make sense to drive home.
- In santa barbara.
Tommy,a word?
Do you think I'm stupid?
- Sorry?
- Don't play dumb with me.
I wrote the book on this,remember?
I did it with your father for 20 years
with a hell of a lot more discretion.
Now tell me what I think is
happening isn't actually happening.
- Nothing is happening.
- Oh,really?
Well,then why is it that it took me about
five seconds to pick up on this nothing?
And how long before you think
everybody else starts figuring it out?
Everything I own is
invested in this business.
She is our employee!
look,I...
I know that you have a lot
going on at home with julia,
and I am sorry for
that.Everybody makes mistakes.
God knows I have.
But that is it.
It ends now.
From now on,it is no longer a mistake.
It is a choice.
And I hope you make the right one.
mom!
- We've been looking everywhere for you.
- we've been looking all over for you.
Shh!
I'm just not gonna talk for a while,
no matter how much I think you may need
to hear my fabulous words of wisdom.
You know,I know.
I know what I'm doing.
I know I'm doing my commitment-phobic
thing again and that's why I'm still single.
And I'm using the prenup as an excuse,and
it's probably not a big deal and...
right?
Wait a minute.Mom?
Wait,no,no,no,please.Please
don't do this.
Please.
Well,all right,kitty,just
really quickly.
Honey,maybe it does mean something.
And what,worst case scenario...
robert doesn't have enough
trust in you as a couple?
Maybe he senses your doubts,or
for whatever the reason.
Sometimes you have to have
enough trust for both of you.
And it will shift.
It always does.That's what marriage is.
And if it doesn'T...
never mind.
Come on,mom.Come on.
well,if it doesn't,then
you have to acknowledge it,
have the courage to let go,hurt
like holy hell and move on.
I...you know,I'm not
lecturing.I am not lecturing.
You two are grown-ups and perfectly
capable of taking care of yourselves.
- Miss walker?
- Yes?
And I have an appointment.
hey.
Silent treatment.Very effective.
look,I was wrong,okay?
And if I could take it back,I would,
but you have gotta stop being mad at
me because I can't...I can't take it.
I mean,you're the one person in
my life who actually gets me,and...
I should've known better.
I should've trust you
All right,look,don't
worry about it,okay?
I probably overreacted a
little bit,and,you know,even...
even the smallest dose of this stuff
can sort of amp things up a little.
So in my book,it's squashed.
All right,we're don besides,I've
been waiting for you to get up.
I kinda wanna know if the girl with
the boobs forgave the initials girl.
Did you already art watching?
If I said yes,would
you think less of me?
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You're back.
- Yeah.
oh,honey,I...
I...
accidentally found the prenup.
Ay.
- You didn't have to hide it from me.
- I wasn't hiding it from you.
The lawyers drew it up.I was
gonna talk to you about it.
I understand that you have a
valid reason for wanting a prenup.
You know,you're divorced,you have
kids and you could be president and...
well,that's why the guys drafted it.
Yeah.
And...and yes,you know,the
odds are against us.
And maybe you don't entirely
believe that we're gonna make it,
anthat's okay because I do,and
I'm sorry th i didn't before.
Something just...just hit me last night.
And I don't know,I just know now
that you and i are gonna be okay.
So if you need me to
sign a piece of paper...
kitty,listen to me.
If I wanted you to sign a
prenup,believe me,I would've asked you.
But I don'T.I have faith in us.
Although you make quite
a case for a prenup.
Hmm,well,we can still talk about it.
'Cause I could very easily take
you for everything you're worth.
- Quit talking.
- No,I could.
It wouldn't be hard.
kevin,it's sarah.
Listen,i do need a
lawyer,and you cannot say no.
Call me.
I can't believe this tool has
two girls fighting over him.
I know who'd fight over a
guy with sunglasses like that?
I actually have those sunglasses.
Oh.
I'm gonna go get something
to drink.You want something?
- Sure,yeah.
- Water?
Yeah,that'd be great.
you know,you're right about
this show.I can't stop watching.
I know.It's addictive,right?
