Brothers & Sisters (2006–2011): Season 2, Episode 8 - Something New - full transcript

Previously on "brothers & sisters"...

and I can't seem to get an answer
as to when or if she's coming back.

I wanted to talk to you
about joe and the kiss.

Oh,please. We are so past that.

I may have led him on a little bit.

did you,uh,tell jason about you
and scotty's little "slumber party"?

No,actually.

You are beyond pathetic.

You spend so much time trying to get somebody
to love you that you can't help anybody.

That's enough.

I can't do this to my family.



I'm sorry if I hurt you.

Can you just go?

I don't wanto wait to get married.

I want to get married now.

"From this moment,"

"a moment like this,"

"because you loved me."

"Because you loved me"?

Now how is that a good wedding song?

It's past tense.

And perfect for my marriage.

Shouldn't your fiance be doing this?

Well,I guess the second time
around,it sort of loses its allure.

Yeah,it's like going
through the steps again.



Speaking of which,I need
to apologize to rebecca.

Yeah,she probably hates you.

Oh,no,no,no. No one expects you to be
warm and fuzzy at your own intervention.

Who wants a cookie?

Mom,how's it going looking for a dress?

It's so depressing.

Every single mother of the bride
dress is beige or bedazzled,

with all these necks and
sleeves and jackets and things.

You get to be a certain age,and
they--they try to desex you.

I mean,I might as well
be dressed in beige paper

and headed off towards
the recycling bin.

- How about ol' blue eyes?
- That's a good idea.

No,no,we can't,we can't because robert's
first wedding was practically sinatra-themed.

What about that beautiful
song by the dixie chicks?

At a republican candidate's wedding?

Well,if you rule out every democrat,

you're basically left with ted
nugent,lynyrd skynyrd and zz top.

Well,I'm a democrat,and I lost
my virginity to "she's got legs."

- Oh,god!
- Crossing a le,sarah.

Mine was the "dirty dancing" theme.

No! Be gayer.

I bet kitty's was talk radio.

hey. Justin?

Don't look at me. I'm not having
this conversation in front of mom.

- come on.
- Oh,please.

Uh,uh,pink floyd's "the wall,"
gabby kleiner,the tenth grade.

Are you...
you--you heard that?

thanks. I have two first-sex
soundtracks,girl and guy.

Okay,now stop. Stop,you guys,please.

You're ruining all music for me.

Sorry I'm late.What's up,buddy?

Robert,what song did you
lose your virginity to?

Mom.

Well,we're just trying to
figure out our wedding song.

Interesting methodology.

Um,"endless love."

yeah,okay. Um,bad news.

I spoke to jason,and he
can't come to the wedding.

You spoke with jason?

Yeah,uh,briefly. And then the
other day,we got completely cut off.

The other day?

I haven't spoken to him in
weeks,and he's called you twice?

He was gonna be my best man.

Oh,well--well,the
next time you two chat,

maybe you could tell him
his committed,monogamous,

yet highly sought
after boyfriend says hi.

So does everybody know that kitty
has us scheduled for dance lessons?

Ballroom dancing? Kitty,pleasE.

Come on,tommy. I'm not that bad.

I've got it. I've got
it-- "pretty woman."

No,thanks,mom,but that will make
me come off a little conceited.

No,no,no. I mean,that
was my first time song.

I can't believe I remember that.

Mom,we don't need to
picture you and dad.

Who said anything about dad?

- What?!
- mom!

- wait a minute. Wait a minute. I thought dad was your first.
- No.

- I thought dad swept you off your feet when you were barely 18.
- No.

Mom,you sluT.

it was the '60s.

It was this-- this guy I'd known
in high school--stan harris.

he got drafted and--and
went off to canada.

- It was in the backseat of his dad's cutlass...
- oh,my god.

- and he was tall,and I
was short-- - I gotta go.

- I'm gonna make more
popcorn. - thank you. I'm--

Fine. Fine. So what,I-I guess
I've just never had sex before?

that doesn't look safe.

- It lowers your blood pressure.
- Yep?

So does a glass of wine with
far less risk of paralysis.

Why aren't you working?

I'm on days.

We could go back to writing notes
if actual conversation is too weird.

Oh,sorry. No messages.

of course not.

Do you wanna be my date
for kitty's wedding?

Oh,how appealing. A spite invite?

No.

Yes. A-a little.

You know going to a
wedding alone is torture.

What about jason?

Reverend "god forbid I call
you back" won't be there.

Yeah,but his brother robert will.

What will he think?

Who cares?

Miatello's is catering.

They're serving those little gorgonzola
and potato pizzas with saffron and sage.

You had me at "gorgonzola."

Thought so.

kitty. Hi.

Hi. Um,I'm sorry.

I-I hope I didn't wake you up.

No,no,I've been up for a while.

Um,well,do you wanna come in?

Sure.

Yeah,c-come in.

Um,is justin okay?

- Yeah,actually,you know,he's--he's
doing much better. - Oh,good.

And you know what? Thank you,by the way,for
letting everybody know what was going on.

And I-I know he--he said some
really awful things to you.

No,he said awful
things to everyone,so...

actually,he did.

But,you know,it's just...

if it hadn't been for you,we wouldn't
have been able to help him and...

so anyway,the reason
that I'm here is that??

and there's no pressure,and you can
definitely say no if you feel uncomfortable??

but I just wondered if maybe by any chance
you would want to be one of my bridesmaids?

Oh,my god.

Well,I-I dn't even know if
I'd be invited to the wedding.

Are you crazy? Well,of course.

Of course you're invited to the wedding.

You're my--you're
my sister.

Well,is sa--is
sarah okay with it?

- I mean... - yeah.
You know,who--who cares?

She'll--she'll
be fine.

Yes? No? Maybe?

- You can think about it if
you want. -Yeah,I--I'd love to.

- Really?
-Yeah.

That's great.

Should we hug?

Sure.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Graham has quite a reputation
for growing midsized companies.

Well,graham,reputation aside,

ojai's not looking to re any
outside consultants at this time.

Right. Well,that's
usually the first response.

Saul tells me that you wanna
branch out into the organic market?

Yes,that's something that
we've been considering.

Let me give you some
free advice--don'T.

Every other vendor's
already noticed that trend,

so,uh,you're a little
behind the curve there.

And frankly,sarah,overhauling
our farming practices

would cost a hell of a lot more
than hiring a private consultant.

Graham has some ideas about
the international market.

Well,that's right.

Uh,namely,china.

It's a booming economy,it's
an expanding middle class??

I've read all the same
journals that you have.

Well,actually,I just
came back from there.

Have you been?

No,I haven'T.

Well,you gotta go.

The upscale markets in shanghai
just can't handle the demand.

Just the word "california" transforms the
everyday grape into,uh,a,uh,luxury item.

Well,just the word "china," for
me,conjures up a logistical nightmare.

And ojai doesn't have the human resources
to overcome international licensing,tariffs??

yeah,well,that's just what I do.

I mean,I can help you
navigate that whole thing.

Exactly,and thewe create a special
division of ojai to handle foreign sales.

Leave your proposal.

I'll call you if I have any questions.

Okay,well,thanks for your time,sarah.

Great to meet you.

Thanks for the free advice.

I'll be in touch.

Okay,great,I will fax you a price list.

Bye.

Hey.

how you doing?

I have been fielding
phone calls all morning.

Now correct me if I'm wrong,but
didn't we hire lena to do that?

Oh,she's probably running late.

Is she,or are you guys
doing that thing you do

where she comes five minutes after you

so that I don't know
that the two of you??

no,no,no,I,uh,I ended things with her.

Should we be looking
for a new office manager?

Sorry.

I stopped for pastries.

Tommy,I got your favorite.

Bear claws.

walker landing.

Yeah,he's right here.

It's your wife.

Julia,hey.

What's up?

Elizabeth wanted to talk to her daddy.

Yeah. Put her on.

hey,honey.

hi.

Oh,my god.

I was gonna call yesterday,

but I thought a surprise
would be...surprising.

Wow,it's so good to see you.

Yeah,you,too.

And her.

Oh,my god. She's so big! Hi!

Welcome home,julia.

- She's incredible.
- Thanks.

- The place looks so good.
- Thanks.

uh,this is lena,our office manager.

Oh,of course. Hi.

It's nice to put a face to the voice.

Yeah.

All right,well,I'm gonna leave
for the day and get them settled.

Take as much time as you need.

- Thanks,holly.
- sure.

all right,let's go.

Okay.

By it was nice to meet you,lena.

You,too.

I'll,um,I'll--I'll
check in later.

you still wa the job?

You might want to
rethink the work wardrobe.

Brothers and
Sisters Season 02 Episode 08

Saul,do you remember stan harris?

Of course I remember him.

Mother was convinced that
he was gonna ruin you.

That's because I told her we were
gonna travel around the country

in his volkswagen bus
and join a commune.

- I googled him.
- You what?

Get this--he's history
teacher at canyon falls high.

He's single.

Whoa,whoa,whoa. Back up.

Since when does google tell you
what someone's marital status is?

I... e-mailed him.

I couldn't help myself.

I might've been this whole other
person if he hadn't gone to canada.

He lives 15 minutes
away. Can you believe it?

You know what? He
asked me out to dinner.

That's impressive.

I shouldn't go,not in a million years.

We'll have nothing to talk about.

What if he looks old? What
if he thinks i look old?

Oh,nora,come on. You
don't look that old.

Well,then again,what have I got to lose?

I mean,there's history there.

What if that same old
spark still exists?

It could still exist. You know that.

I know that?

- What are you doing,nora?
- What?

I told you that I didn't
want to talk about this,

that I needed time to talk about this.

You want me to get in touch with the
guy that I told you about? Is that it?

Is that why you're
mentioning stan harris,nora?

No,I brought up stan because I
wanted to talk to you about stan.

Yeah,right.

Look,don't get me wrong.

I do think we have to talk about this.

I mean,you can't tell me that you were in love
with a man once and then we never discuss it again.

We have to talk about it eventually.

You know what,nora? I gotta go.

Well,saul,ould
I--should I go...

Oh,well,you know,they're--
they're just showing off,right?

I can tell you,we're not gonna
be doing anything like that.

Wow,that--that was-- that
was really,really good.

That was amazing,and--and
thank you,

but I don't think that we're
gonna be needing anything...

don't worry about it,senator.

We'll adjust the steps to your song.

Well,you know what? We don't
even really have a-a song yet.

We--we just wanna
learn a couple of steps

so we don't look like complete
morons at our--our wedding.

Exactly.

Okay.

Whatever you wish.

Martena,just play a
slow fox-trot,please.

just watch it once.

It's slow,slow,quick,quick.

Let's try it all in one
line,starting with the left foot.

And...
slow--

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Um,so it's--so it's-- so
it's left,right and then-

- and then which--which side? -
no,no,for you,kitty,it's the opposite.

See,you go right,left,side,together.

Hello?

So--oh,it's opp--oh,I
didn't--nobody told me that.

No problem. That's what we're here for.

Okay,okay,um,let's see. (Yeah,and
I'll get back. Thank you.)

So it's right...left.

and then to the side.

- Good. That's good,but to the other side.
- The other side.

That was the majority leader.

Yeah,well,you're in the minority
party,so you can call him back.

All right,let's try
it facing each other.

Okay.

kitty...His face is much more
attractive thanour feet. Huh?

Head up,please.

Slow,slow,quick,quick.

Senator,you're a natural.

Thank you.

Kitty,please stopeading.

Oh,sorry. I'm sorry.

You know,it's just--it's--it's
in my nature,but I'm trying.

Okay,and this is gonna
take a long time,isn't it?

You know what? He just gave us
the steps,like,three seconds ago.

They're two votes down on S.R. 7550.

Don't you think I should
spend some time on that?

You know what? You never
told me you could dance.

You know,inaugurals,state dinners...

and first weddings. Right. I get it.

I think I have the steps in order.

You should stay,rehearse.

Reschedule.

I'll make the time. Promise.

Thank you. I appreciate
it,but I've gotta go.

Okay,kitty. Let's dance.

Five,six,seven,eight.

Slow.

Good,good.

Hey. Sorry about the mess.

If I would've known you were
coming,I would've cleaned uP.

that's okay.

Yeah,I guess I,uh,I reverted.

You're allowed.

I'm sorry I was... gone so long.

You had a lot to sort out.

I just--I wish I could take
back so many things that I said.

I know.

Me,too.

Can we go back...

to the way things were?

I want to,so bad.

You have no idea.

I come with decadence.

What happened? Did you rob
the long beach aquarium?

We had a chichi 6-year-oldirthday
party at the restaant--

"little mermaid" theme.

Turns out the kids couldn't
bear to eat sebastian.

The mermaid's best friend?

- Anyhow,their drama,our dinner.
- Great.

Uh,would sebastian like a
little melted butter on the side?

I don't know,but I would. Marvelous.

Light some candles. I'll be right back.

Oh,candles?

I mean,it's just
takeout,when you think of it.

Yeah,sure. Yeah,sure,no candles.

Uh.. well,we can still
have champagne,right?

Sure.

- Hey,sarah.
- Hey.

Is--is
kitty here?

Oh,she'll be down in a minute.

So are--are you
the maid of honor?

Well,I'm certainly not
the matron of honor.

I'm--I'm
sorry.

Okay. Well?

Well,what do you think?

- Gorgeous.
- Really?

Yeah,it's--it's got this
great '60s vibe to it. I mean--

that's because it's from the '60s.

well,is it too '60s?

No. No,I think it's classic.

No,no,what I meant by
that is it's very jackie O.

I don't know if that's the look
I'm going for on my wedding day.

I mean,that's not even
the right political party.

Oh,I'm just gonna stop talking.

- oh,you look gorgeous.
- Really?

Just gorgeous,really.

Speaking of gorgeous...mom,where
are you going?

Well,yeah?

Oh,just,um,dinner with a friend.

Honey,this is so exciting.

- We'll take you tomorrow to the alterations person...
- okay.

- And just,you know,a few tiny little things,okay?
- Okay.

It's exciting.

I have to go. It's so exciting.

Have fun.

Let's seE.

Well,you know,I-I think there actually
really is something amazing about the--

- the history...Of this dress.
- yeah

And--and
it's free.

Can't beat that.

Is that mom's dress?

Yeah,it's-- it's
great... right?

Yeah. Looks good.

Can I,uh,can i steal
rebecca for a second?

Look,justin,I know what you're doing,

and I just want you know
that-- that it's fine.

I'm fine.

Look,it's not fin okay?

I-I feel horrible about what I said.

It was hurtful and it was mean.

And some of it was true.

I was angry,okay?

And I took a cheap shot at you.

You are not pathetic.

I'm pathetic,okay?

If it weren't for you,I-I
wouldn't be getting clea

I'm just happy you're getting
the help that you need,you know?

I want you to know how
important you are to me

and how deeply,deeply sorry I am.

wow,you're really good at this
whole making amends thing,aren't you?

I've had some practice.

I--oh,excuse
me.

hello?

Uh,yeah. How are you?

Sure. Yeah. That,uh,that sounds great.

I'll see you there.

All right,bye.

that was your friend lena.

What did--what'd
she want?

I don't know. She just
asked me out for coffee.

hi,I'm--I'm
looking for someone.

Right in here.

Stan?

Nora!

- hi. I'm sorry I'm late.
- No,no,no.

- no?
- Ah,ten minutes.

Oh,traffic in this city
is absolutely impossible.

You can't get anywhere,ever.

If you're invited to go someplace
between the hours of 5:00 and 7:00,

I have to tell them, no,I'm sorry.

You can't get there from
here. You just can'T..

I'm here.

you look beautiful.

Yeah,well,don't look to close.

My neck looks like
someone's bedroom curtains.

Hey,listen,I-I gained 20 pounds
and I've got a artificial hip.

- Really?
- No. Kidding.

I'm sorry,nora.

I--I'm a little
bit nervous.

I'm nervous,too.

I can't believe you e-mailed me.

Did I do that?

you did.

I... where do we even start?

Um... how about a pitcher of margaritas?

Yes.

- We're at this immigration rally.
- Right.

Ah,you know,all my kids.

I mean,my class.

There's this
one--alonzo.

He's really smart,but he's,uh,you
know,a little unfocused.

And I'm watching him.

And I'm seeing that he--he's a little
bit affected by this,maybe a lot.

And I'm thinking,"this
is why I do this."

He's starting to think.

He--he wants to demand his
right to be heard,you know?

- And just at that moment...
- yeah?

- He gets on the stage...
- yeah?

- Drops his pants and moons the governor.
- oh,no!

- Yeah.
- oh,no!

I didn't want him to feel
humiliated,so I get up and I join him.

oh,god!

That's horrible!

what happened?

Well,you know,I spent a night
in detention,paid a fine.

Alonzo,I think,is running for
president of the school now.

Well,good for him.

I-I spent a night in jail.

well,I got caught smoking a joint with
my girlfriend in her car-- emily craft.

Crafty?

Hey,you never-- you
never liked grass.

Oh,when did you pick up that habit?

Never.

Are you kidding?

Since last you saw me,

all i've been doing is raising kids
and being married to a republican,so...

yeah,I knew that.

So you never got married?

No,I-I-I,you know,I came
close a couple of times,

but I don't think I ever
really found the right person.

Yeah,the right person.

what are you doing tomorrow night?

I'm sorry. I know you've got
plans,it's too soon. I'm--I'm just...

no,no. My goodness,at this
age,almost nothing is too soon.

Yes,let'S... let's do it.

Let's go out.

Good,'cause I couldn't stand
to wait another 40 years

kevin.

kevin. Go to bed.

Actually,could you take your foot out?

- It's digging
right into-- - sorry.

I should go to my air mattress.

yeah,you should.

I really like th on you.

Come on,I look like a giant tangerine.

uh,I gotta take that.I'm working.

I'm gonna get a couple more drses.

sarah walker.

Hey,it's graham finch.

Listen,I--I've been
thinking about our meeting.

I hope I didn't come on too strong.

Bulldozer isn't your normal speed?

Well,that's me.You know,I'm aggressive.

I see something I want,I go
for it.That's why you want me.

- Oh,now I want you?
- Figure of speech.

So what are you doing tonight?You
wanna have some dinner?

Uh,I have plans.

Well,then how about tomorrow night?

Listen,just give me an hour,

and if I can't convince
you,uh,you'll never see me again.

What do you say?

- Okay,tomorrow night it is.
- Great.See you then.

- oh,don't you like that?
- It's a pretty color,I guess.

what do you think of this one?

Oh,wow,I--that color
is so much better.

- really?
- Oh,totally.

Now how come you're not
bringing anybody to the wedding?

Oh,you know,it's been a
bit of a dry spell lately.

Dry spell?That doesn't sound like you.

What does that mean?

Just that when I think of you,I
don't think of "dry spell."

You know,I do know a couple of
really cute guys in my office.

Do you have type?

No,I don't really have a type.

Except for married men,right,sarah?

That's what you were gonna say?

- No. No,she wasn'T.
- I would never say that.

Hmm,well,there goes that
foot in my mouth again.

It's not that I don't
think about it occasionally.

It's just that I've long stopped
obsessing about you,joe and my divorce.

What I am obsessed about is kitty,

her wedding and which dress
she's gonna force me to wear.

Right,kit?

This is it.

This is the one.

oh!

oh,my god.

Can you believe it?

- It's perfect.
- it's perfect.

what about mom's dress?

- Oh,you're right.
- But oh,my god.

- Just try it on.
- No,no,I can'T.I can'T.

It would be cheating.I
shouldn't even be looking at it.

Oh,come on.Looking's not cheating...

is it,rebecca?

Oh,my god.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You going to the gym?

Yeah,have to.Working in the kitchen
demands it,or you end up,you know,with-

I know,with love handles like me.

I think we've already established
I have no problems with your body.

Nor I yours.

- Look,about last night
- you don't have to say anything.

I know what happened.You
were vulnerable.

Your boyfriend's a million miles away,and
I was a warm body after lobster dinner.

Add champagne and voila...

- mistake sex.
- What if it wasn't a mistake?

Kevin,you don't have
to make me feel better

by turning yesterday's nostalgic sex
romp into something that it wasn'T.

I'm not.

Believe me,I'm not.

Yes,of course I miss
him.You know,why wouldn't I?

He's not calling me.But it's like what
we had,he's put into this compartment,

and now he's gone
back to his first love,

which is god or the church
or--or something.I don't know.

- But it's certainly not me. - You
don't know that.When people are far away-

look,I know how I feel,so
just let me feel that way.

It hurts.

Hey.

It'll be all right.I promise.

I'm not so sure.

what is this?

We go on a lovely picnic at the beach,

and then you bring me out here
for what,a gang initiation?

Take a closer look.

All right.

Oh,it's jones hall.

we saw dylan here.

yeah.

Oh,my god.

Yeah,the memory of that night...

has gotten me through a lot
of cold winters in toronto.

it was my first time,you know.

it was our first time.

I lied.I didn't want you to think
I didn't know what I was doing.

oh,stan,I was so madly in love with you.

Why did you leave?

You ran off to canada.

You left everything-- your
family,your friends,me.

I-I wasn't enough for you.

What are you talking about?

you love the fight you can't win.

But you already had me.

I mean,even then I knew
I wasn't a challenge.

I wasn't looking for a challenge.

- Weren't you?
- No.

You married a rich republican,somebody
you can always argue with.

We're different.

I mean,I-I don't like the fight.

I'm committed to the cause.

stan...will you come
see my life,meet my kids?

Will you come with me
to my daughter's wedding?

I'd be honored.

Will your mother be there?

um,yeah.

oh,boy.

oh,god,I love this song,still.

so do I.

why are you calling me at home?

Hey,I just checked the office voice
mail,and your brunch meeting canceled.

Yeah,and listen,by the way,I'm not gonna
be bothering you with personal calls.

I'm not that dense.

So just relax.

I'm--I'm--I'm
sorry.Thanks.

Have a good weekend.

who's calling so early?

Uh,that was the office.They
canceled my meeting.

So,um,I could make breakfast.

I wouldn't have pegged
you for a half-caff.

I would've assumed an extra shot.

Yeah,well,I'm-- I'm
working on moderation.

Really?

That doesn't sound like
the guy I met at the bar.

Uh,I guess rebecca didn't tell you.

No.

I'm--I'm
in recovery.

I was taking pain medication
for my leg,and pretty soon after,

I just started taking
it just to take it.

And now I've been in
detox for a few weeks,

and going to meetings,talking
to my sponsor.

And if you want to run,I
completely understand.

No,listen,I don't get
scared off that easy.

I'm a pathetic loser
who dates a married guy,

and then gets surprised
and bummed when I t dumped.

Wow,that sucks.

Yeah,well... it was kind of
doomed from the start,you know?

I want you to know that I'm a
terrible choice for a rebound guy.

I mean,not--not assuming,you know,that
this is anything past coffee or...

no,go ahead,assume.

I just thought,you know,I shouldn't
get involved while I'm getting sober.

I still have nightmares about combat.

My leg still looks pretty
gnarly from my injury.

I don't have a job
and I live with my mom.

- You can stop.You're an awful choice.
- Yeah

So how aboutust being,you
know,my rebound caffeine buddy?

Well,as long as you
don't mind the half-caff.

No... not at all.

And slow,slow...

quick,quick.

you know,it's tough to
replace a quarter of the staff,

- but stolarski comes highly recommended.
- He worked for phipps.

Yeah,we can't have that.

Okay,well,there's donnelly,but
I hear he's a bit of a screamer.

- What--why are you stepping
on my feet? - You know what?

Travis' voice keeps boring into the part
of my brain that is trying to keep count.

I wasn't aware you had that part.

Oh,would you shut up,travis?

- Kitty,have you been practicing like I told you?
- Yes.

What--what is the part
that comes after back left?

- Side right.
- Side right.

Well,you know what?

Maybe you guys should just
have the first dance together.

- What about benitez?
- Yeah.

You know what?You know what?

Let's just forget the whole thing.

I mean,clearly,you're
busy,I'm busy,and??

and you're just not interested.

And--and why
should you be?

Kitty,come on,it's just a dance.

No,it is not just a dance.

It is a dance that you've had before
for a ceremony that you've had before.

And I'm going to be
wearing a used dress.

And you know what?I just thought it would
be nice for us to have a dance that was ours.

But you know what?You're right.

It's just too much to ask to
have a first at my own wedding.

Shut up,travis!

So should we clean this
up,or should we just,like,

sort of let it sit and blend
in with the rest of your place?

Whoa,hey.

So now you're making
fun of my apartment?

No.Are you kidding me?

I'm having mess envy,for god sakes.

I mean,rebellion in my house
is,like,leaving a crumb on the table.

no wonder you turned to drugs.

so what are your other
vices,besides being kind of a slob?

Uh...well,coffee.

Definitely.

- Wine,clothes shopping.
- I see that.

Yes

- Hang on.
- Sure.

- hey.
- Look,justin's in recovery.

I know.Listen,can I call you back?

Uh,why?Is justin there?

- Oh,my god.
- Yeah.

- Um,why don't I just talk to you tomorrow?
- Okay.

what was all that about,if
you don't mind my asking?

Lena.

I thought you were talking about justin.

No,she asked him out,mom.

She did?

Yeah,and--and--and it's
really not that I care.

It's just,he's not supposed
to be dating anyone right now.

Ugh,wait till kitty and sarah find out.

It--it's not like they don't
judge me enough already.

I really don't need
them blaming me for this.

Sweetie,this is hardly your fault.

Tell that to them.

I mean,kitty is so intimidating.

Sarah is-- I'm constantly paranoid
that she's making these digs at me.

I keep humiliating myself.

Rebecca,stop second-guessing yourself.

It's not that easy,mom.

I know that it's not that easy.

But this shrinking violet
that you're becoming...

that's not my daughter.

I mean,you--you never used to
care what people thought about you.

You didn't worry about what
you said or what you didn't say.

I admire that about you,even
when you do that with me.

Do that with them.

So wait,no,you're telling me you
haven't seen,uh,"blades of glory"?

- Nah,not yet.
- Oh,my word.

You have to see this.I have the dvd.

We can watch it tonight.

You know what?I-I sh--I
should probably get outta here.

Okay.

I hope I didn't scare
you off or anything.

No.Are you--I'm having
a great,great time.

I just--I'm worried if I stay too long
that my--my sponsor will get pissed off.

And he's kind of a big
dude,lot of tatts,so...

no,listen,I totally get that you
should put your recovery first.

Okay,thanks.

You know,we'll wait for the right time.

- All right,cool.
- Cool.

Cool.

screw it.

Com mm,try the lemon scallops.Amazing.

Mm,I prefer the orange chicken.

Oh,man,this-- this
duck sauce is amazing.

Can--I can really taste
the peaches and the plums.

- You know,it's so...
- oh,I get it.

Everything that we've been eating features
produce that we grow at ojai.Very good.

Oh,and here I was,I thought
I was being very subtle.

I'm just very smart.

Well,then you'll hear what I'm saying.

A billion people eat
this food every day.

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.

Not that you're not charming.It's
just,there's something about you.

I don't know if it's the italian suit or the
fast-talk of easy money and international markets.

- Maybe it's the perfect pedigree.
- Prect pedigree?

it's just all too smooth to be true.

I'm suspicious.

First of all,I wasn't
born into this suit,okay?

And when I walked into ojai,I was not
convinced that I would close the deal.

I just thought that if you heard what I had
to say,you'd see it was a sound decision,

something that's good for ojai
and for your family,that's it.

Look... honestly,it's enticing.

But ojai can't afford
that kind of risk exposure,

and I can't jeopardize a
company that my father built,

no matter the growth potential.

So what if I told you I have a guy that
could get ojai in the market access program?

Government subsidies?

I'd tailor your company's profile so
it's exactly what they're looking for.

The U.S.D.A. Wants to increase
its agricultural exports.

Why not let 'em help pay for it?

Who knows?We structure this deal right,

there might even be enough left over for
me to take you on a private tour of beijing.

okay.

Get me more information on the program.

I'll need to see the forecasts.

If the numbers excite me,we'll talk.

hello?

Hello--jason?!

Oh,my god!

Oh,my god,I've missed you.

You--well,why
haven't you call me?

No,I'm good.I'm good.

I just... I--yeah,well,I need--
I need-- I need to talk to you,too.

- Cleaning or packing?
- Packing.

A friend offered me her couch.I
think it'll be easier this way.

Yeah,you're right.

It would be easier.

But difficult is
sometimes good,you know?

It forces you to do things
you didn't think you could.

Oh... we can do it,kevin.

We always seem to end up...

doing it.

What we never seem to understand
is that it gets us nowhere.

I finally spoke with jason.

Good.I'm glad.I... I broke up with him.

kevin,why do you always have
to be such a drama queen?

So he didn't call you
for a couple of weeks.

It's not that.

- Scotty,when I first met you,I
thought we-- - kevin,kevin...

if you're about to
romanticize what we had,just...

I'm not.That's the whole point.

Because what we had
was-- it--it was messy.

You know,we were hot and cold and
back and forth,all over the place.

But I wanna be back there with you

because I wanna be
honest about who I am.

- Did you tell jason we slept together?
- Yes,I did.

Look,I know I'm--I'm
asking way too much of you.

But like I said,easy isn't
all it's cracked up to be.

it's gone.

Yep.Yep.It's gone. It's gone.

The... "the one" is gone.

Well,at least mom won't be heartbroken.

- Well,that's true.
- You know,I think it's a shame.

I think u should wear whatever
you want on your wedding day.

Oh,okay,rebecca.Well,thank
you very much.

But you know what?It'll be fine.

Hey,it's just my opinion.

yeah,well,my opinion
is we need to commit.

These dresses are fine.

What about julia?Does
she look good in blue?

- Julia looks good in anything.
- Bitch.

All right,rebecca,let's start with you.

So--so what
do you think?

Honestly,I-I don't know what
sisters say in these situations.

But the only way that I am ever gonna
be able to be myself around you two

is if I stop filtering everything.

So to answer your
question,kitty-- no.

No,I-I-I don't like this color on
me and I-I don't like it on sarah.

If you really wanna know the
dress that I would pick,it would...

oh,my god.

Well,r-rebecca,don't stop now.

No,you're on a roll.

Kitty,the one!

- it's on sale.
- Oh,my gosh!

Oh,my god,rebecca.

Rebecca,do you really think
I should wear what I want?

I do.

Do you wanna wear this dress?

I do.

I swear I didn't go out looking for it.

It--it was
just there.

- And--and then it went on sale and
I just--it was-- - it was on sale?

I was--I was just feeling like my
whole wedding was being recycled.

And I-I just needed my something new.

And--but please,mom,please
don't be angry.

Honey,I'm not angry.It's
fine.You don't have to wear my--

- a good fine or is it passive-aggressive fine? -
Sweetheart,I offered my dress to you as an option.

- I know,but when you found me in it the other day,you practically started weeping.
- Oh,I did not.

- You were very emotional.
- Well,honey,you're getting married.

- You were like,"ahh!"
- And I came in,and you had my dress on.

- It brought back memories.
- Well,but still,yeah.

- I know,but still.
- Listen to me.

This is your wedding,your
memories to create.

Make your own choices,your own history.

You don't have to relive mine.

I can't believe that
you're being this cool.

I mean,it's not that I thought that
you would be uncool,but I just--I...

well,thanks.

It's beautiful.

Thank you,mom.Thank you.

It's beautiful,honey.It's beautiful.

Thanks,moM.

- Kitty?
- Yeah?

- you know what I did?
- No.What did you do?

I went out to dinner with stan harris.

stan harris.

Uh,my "pretty woman" stan harris.

oh,my god.How was it?

Yeah. It was fine.G-good.

If it's all right with you,I,uh...

Uh,yeah.Of course.Are you kidding?

It's great.Uh,sorry.

uh,honey,honey,just hold on one second.

Mom,wait,mom.

- Yeah.
- we're gonna have to find you a very hot dress.

I think I have an idea.

You're going to dye this?

Something bold.

Midnight blue,maybe.

But this dress is a classic.

I know. I love it.

It's my history,and
I'm going to keep it.

Maybe it's time to hike
up the hemline a little.

- Okay.
- Okay.

here we go.

oh,hey.

I didn't think you'd
still be here by now.

I figured you would've
gone home to your family.

Yeah,I was just catching
up on some paperwork.

Uh,so you're--
you're going out?

Yeah.

got a date.

Uh... you're seeing somebody

happened a few days ago.

And don't worry,I wasn't cheating.

- No,I wasn'T...
- tommy,I was joking.

Right.

Have a good night,tommy.

this is way too g for a fund-raiser.

I mean,there aren't even
that many republicans in L.A.

It's beautiful,isn't it?

We have to--they're--
they're rehearsing.

- Oh,come on,let's listen.
- No,no,no,no.

- We're late.We gotta go.
- Come on.

- This is
- excuse me,guys?

Do you take requests?

Hello,senator.

that lyle lovett?

What are you doing?

No,what did--what--
what did you do?

Why--why do I feel like you're
getting ready to propose to me?

We already did that.

I... i already did that.

I know that I haven't been
able to focus on the wedding.

And I know that you think it's
because I've done this before.

And yeah,we haven't been
able to pick out our song.

But,you know,kitty,any song that's
even remotely romantic reminds me of us.

You make everything new.

would you like to dance?

You're insane.

No,absolutely insane.

I cannot believe you.
