Six Feet Under (2001–2005): Season 4, Episode 3 - Parallel Play - full transcript

Okay, Ashley,
your turn.

Pick someone.

- "Gupta, Sandeep."
- No Indian people.

We're gonna get
in trouble, you guys.

- We should stop doing this.
- How about...

Mr. And Mrs.
Gerald Gurvitz?

- Yes, do them.
- Okay.

- Hello?
- Hi, is Gerald there?

What time is it?
Who is this?

Um, he'll know.

Honey, wake up.



Something's wrong.

May I ask what
this is regarding?

Tell him he left
his underwear here.

Shh!

- Excuse me?
- What is it, honey?

- Hang up!
- Put it on speaker!

There's a woman
on the phone

and she says that you left
your underwear at her house?

That's not possible.

God damn it, Gerald!

I could kill you, Gerry.
What did you do?

Hang up, Ashley.
I'm dying!

Oh, Jesus.

- What is it?
- It's just kids.



I'm gonna call the police.
I've got caller ID, you little idiots.

Kaitlin.

Oh my God!

Kaitlin,
are you okay?

Oh my God,
Mrs. Stolte!

Kaitlin!
Kaitlin!

Mrs. Stolte!

Mrs. Stolte!

I am so so sorry.

Cancer?

Yes.

Yes, cancer.

I'm here.

I'm here for you.

Okay, better.
But use "we're here"

not "I'm here."
You're not their friend.

- Right.
- And easy on the touching.

Even funeral directors have
to beware of transference.

David, you are,
quite simply put,

the best I've ever
worked with.

Arthur, I'm the only one
you've ever worked with.

Okay.

This one's all you.

Yes, sir.

Something youthful,
something white.

Perhaps white with
her favorite color.

Her favorite color
is light blue.

I thought
it was purple.

It used
to be purple.

This year it
changed to light blue.

Sky blue.

She's only 14.

That is so young.

It is.
It is so young.

Might I suggest white with
a periwinkle silk lining?

Periwinkle is sort of in between
purple and light blue.

I think she
might like that.

She would like that.
That's good.

Okay. That's all
we need for now.

I'll send photos
over later.

We didn't know we were
supposed to bring photos.

Of course not.
How could you?

I'll see you out.

Claire, could you
come get this?

- Nice.
- People collect those.

It's kind of racist.

That's why I put it way
up there back in the '60s.

Just put it with all the other things
in that pile over there.

Did you start making piles
in your room yet?

Um, I still have to go
through some old piles,

then I'll start
making some new ones.

I've made a schedule
for the garage sale.

I thought if we put a plan in place
we'd be free to deviate.

As long as we're
free to deviate.

So are we just selling our stuff
to make room for George?

Or is he gonna get rid
of some of his stuff, too?

Like perhaps his Tupperware
thing full of shit?

Sorry.
What are we calling it?

We're not calling it anything.
It's long gone.

There are a lot of things
in this house that aren't even mine.

Like that
Mammy cookie jar.

That comes from
your father's side.

A lot of stuff
needs to just go.

I'd personally prefer it
if people could just

come upstairs and, like,
bid on my entire room.

And I'm sure Nate has a few things
he probably doesn't need

to have around.

Hmm.

- Ah.
- Ah.

- Monkey.
- Monkey.

I have to say I'm crazy
about the new Range Rovers.

You can't drive an SUV
these days with a straight face.

Exactly. I don't see another way.
Certainly not a minivan.

Oh, no, fuck that.

Hey,

there's that poor guy
whose wife drowned.

I know, that is so sad.

- He's hot though, huh?
- Shh.

Hey.

- Hi.
- Hi. How are you two?

We are fine,
thank you.

- You're Nate, right?
- Right.

- I'm Madeline.
- Madeline, hi.

- This is Linda.
- Hi.

- Hi, how are you?
- And I know Maya.

Hello, Maya.

You want to get
down and play?

All right.

There you go.

All right.

Hey, you guys going
to Jimmy's thing tonight?

I'm so sick
of Jimmy's things.

I actually think
we're not going.

Well, we're all going.

It's not like there's
anything better to do.

What time are
you guys getting there?

Don't forget about
that thing in Chinatown.

We should
go to that.

Maybe we can go there first
and get to Jimmy's at like 10:00.

Excellent, good.
I will see you there.

Not going.

God, that mustache
is repulsive.

I can't believe
I loved him.

I thought you guys
were just friends.

No, he was, like,
my serious boyfriend

like all
of freshman year.

I could have
sworn he was gay.

He's knitting.

Haven't you noticed?
A lot of straight guys knit these days.

It's like a macho thing.
Like, I'm so straight I can even knit.

Oh, okay, so he's
actually not gay?

Don't even ask me.

At the time he had, like,
severe bi-curious issues.

Why don't you want to go
to Jimmy's thing?

He's like the Matthew Barney
of LAC Arts.

Oh, right, he wishes.

I already told Edie
we were going.

She's going?

Oh, yeah, she's always
at his things.

Hmm.

# The wheels on the bus
go round and round #

# Round and round,
round and round #

# The wheels on the bus
go round and round #

# All through the town #

# The driver on the bus
yells move on back. #

Not bad.

Okay, if Jessica Simpson
is the poor man's Britney,

- what's Celeste?
- Maybe a thinking man's Britney.

Her music is supposed
to be inspirational to young girls.

I'm not just an object,
I am somebody.

- Oh, like Christina.
- Like Christina, but without the ass

- hanging out of the chaps.
- Got it.

I'd like to see your ass
hanging out of some chaps.

Okay, never.

You know
I hate that shit.

So do you get to meet
Celeste tomorrow?

No, I'm like third
line of defense.

You don't get
to meet the big stars

until you've proven
you're not a freak.

Remember Cameron Diaz?

Okay, definitely do not
do that in front of Celeste

or any of Celeste's
people, okay, freak?

# You could be the one,
shave my legs for free... #

"Shave my legs for free"?

I don't think
those are the words.

# You could be the one,
shave my legs for free... #

Condom.

Come on. Come on.

You got it?

- Okay?
- Almost, almost.

Wait a second.

- I'll take care of it.
- I hate these things.

Let's just
do something else.

- Let me just make you come.
- No, I want to make you come.

No, and then there's
this expectation.

I hate expectations.

Just let me try.

I don't
want to try.

- No, here...
- Okay.

Just lay down.

Yeah?

Lay back.

And shush.

I can't get rid
of this goofy smile.

But if I can get this right, I think
I can bring her lips own a little bit.

May I ask what technique
you'll be employing?

Yes. It's called
a full MacKew.

As you can see, I've already threaded
ligature through her nasal cartilage.

I thought that was
called a half MacKew?

If I'd stopped there, it would
have been a half MacKew.

But watch.

I'm going downward
through her gum line here

and using her jawbone
to anchor the thread

before I tie it off.

Fascinating.

- Mm-hmm.
- Arthur, you ready to go?

Federico, if it's
all right with you,

I'll return in approximately
one and one half hours.

Maybe a little while longer
if we decide to get lunch after.

I'll wash up,
and meet you in the foyer.

You guys are
getting lunch?

Shopping,
then lunch.

Wow, shopping.

Would you like
to join us?

- No, no, I have work to do.
- Okay.

This one won't
stop smiling.

I wish I knew what
the fuck was so funny.

Hello?

Oh, hey.

Hi, come on in.

Look, Jaden.
Tu amiga is here!

Hey, Maya, hi.

Hey, if she wants to go and play,
you can just let her go.

Oh, l... she hasn't really played
with that many kids yet.

Oh, well, at this age,
they play next to each other,

not with each other.
It's called parallel play.

You want to get down?
You wanna go play?

There you go,
go ahead.

There she goes.
Oh here, I'll take that.

Um, Gladys!

Okay, Miss Madeline.
Come, mija.

So, um, you want
a smoothie?

Uh, sure, sure.

Wanna play with the monkey?
You like monkeys?

Must be a late
wedding present.

The card says,
"To Mr. And Mrs. George Sibley"!

I like the sound
of that, Mrs. George...

Oh, dear.

What did we get?

Ew, what's
that smell?

It appears to be
excrement again.

No way.

Except this time someone
went to the trouble

to place one inside
a decorative tin.

"To Mr. And Mrs.
George Sibley."

Hmm, no signature,
imagine that.

This is a catastrophe
of the highest order.

This involves
both of us now!

Who knows
you live here?

Why don't you
care about this?

I've made a lot of enemies
through the years, Ruth.

You take the back-stabbing
world of academia,

throw in a controversial
field like geology,

you've got
real trouble.

Geology is controversial?

Oil, Claire.
Oil.

Look, this is from a person

who quite obviously
is looking for a reaction.

Somebody who needs attention.
Let's not give it to him.

That person
isn't in the room.

- He can't see my reaction.
- That's a good point, Mom.

Maybe it's one of
your mother's old lovers.

- My lovers?
- The Greek one.

He was Russian.

- Are you leaving, Claire?
- Yeah.

Toss this in the dumpster,
then, would you?

Oh, I think I'll let you
do that, George.

Oh, Lord.

Put back to me.

I like you
in brown.

Is this brown
or is this gray?

Charka.

See, chocolate.

I thought
he said charcoal.

Charka.

Okay, take off now.

What'd you find?

Normally I'd never
shop in the Valley,

but this place
ain't too bad.

There's a whole rack of marked-down
Jil Sander. Plus some John Varvatos,

Hugo Boss and a pair of
Prada shoes for like $100.

Where's Arthur?

Changing.

Maybe we should buy him
a whole new wardrobe.

Do they ever
do that?

"Queer Eye for
the Gay Guy?"

I don't think Arthur's gay,
I think he's "A."

I don't know, I think
asexual people are asexual

because they don't wanna
come out of the closet.

You really think Arthur
might be gay?

Uh, yeah.

Aw.
That breaks my heart.

I'm gonna go try
a couple of these on.

You'd look
good in this.

David, I need
new clothes for work,

not gay ski weekend
at Mammoth.

I'm gonna buy you
the suit, okay?

Oh no, I couldn't
possibly let you do that.

I want to. Besides,
it's a business expense.

If I had a father,

this is the kind of thing
he'd do for me.

Or even
an elder sibling.

It's just a suit.

Hey, Nicole. You like the way
this sounds, huh?

But the guy goes if I wanted my
food stamps, I should have been on time.

So he said I had to call the social
worker, but she's out all week.

Anyway, my friend's here,
so I'm gonna go right now.

'Bye.

We should get
Nicole some toys.

That top
is kid safe.

But, yeah, she needs
some new toys.

I didn't know
you got food stamps.

Yeah, they're from before
I was working at the club.

I can afford food
of course.

It's just if I get
the food stamps.

Then I can save the cash
for something else.

Hey, you okay?

I don't want Nicole
to see me cry.

It's just I've been
a little freaked out lately

because I'm
completely exhausted.

I think it's because
I have lupus.

Oh, shit,
are you serious?

- No, what...
- It's caused by leaking implants.

Seriously, I feel like
one of 'em ruptured

and there's this like poison silicone
roaming around my body.

Oh, Jeez.

Did you see a doctor?

Not yet, not yet.

Oh my God, Sophia.
Hey,

listen, it's gonna be okay.

All right?

Maybe we should...
maybe we should pray?

Rico, I don't need prayer.
I need surgery!

Medical surgery! Plus if I get
one boob done, they're not gonna match.

So I have to get them both redone,
which is like five grand!

Unless you put
the payment plan,

which is like
$1,500 deposit.

I'm not asking you
for the money.

God, I should have
never told you!

If I were to give you
the $1,500 for the deposit,

do you think
that maybe you can,

you know,
pay me back?

I don't know where I could
get $1,500 in a chunk like that.

Well, you can pay me back
whatever you have

whenever you have it.

I'll just give
you the money.

Oh my God,

are you serious?

My angel.

Nicole, God
sent us an angel.

Thank you.

You have
a great life.

Thanks.

Do I need
a coaster?

No, you can
put it anywhere.

Uh, okay,

so this is the book
I was telling you about.

His name is
Thich Nhat Hahn.

And he says that
it all starts

with learning how
to breathe.

- So...
- Thich Nhat Hahn.

So, if I read this book,
I'll be happy?

It's not
that simple.

So what is it?

You seem to be happy.
You ought to know.

Oh, God, well...

um, I don't know.
I guess for me,

it all started with
my divorce, actually.

And then making the decision
to be a stay-at-home mom.

I mean it's hard,
not working.

But I love being
with Jaden, so...

When she's not
with her nannies.

Okay, one is a nanny

and the other
is a housekeeper.

Okay.

So this...

is this what you wanted
your life to be?

This is actually better
than I expected.

It smells
so good in here.

Thich Nhat Hahn.

That's right.

That fireplace work?

Yeah.

It's okay.

What's okay?

All right, let's do this.

Well, about
fucking time!

Everybody kept asking me, when are
Claire and Anita getting here?

And I said,
how the fuck should I know?

How 'bout it,
my ladies?

- Whoa!
- You're quite the host.

Everything I do,
I do for you.

Do you have
a lighter?

I've got fire.
Go, your serene hotness.

- Better now.
- Me, me.

- Better not be you, Russell.
- Hey, you.

- Hey, how long have you been here?
- Too long.

Hey, I like your skirt.
Did you make it?

- Maybe I did.
- You are so talented.

Gimme some of that.

# Oh, Froggy went a courtin'
and he did ride #

# Oh, Froggy went a courtin'
and he did ride #

# Oh, Froggy went a courtin'
and he did ride #

# With a sword
and pistol

# By his side... #

Ugh, this
always happens,

I get stoned and then
I'm locked in this prison.

What, you're
paranoid?

Please, no one
thinks anything bad.

You're like the beautiful
fair-skinned untouchable

art princess.

Miss Mousey!

No, I'm not
so much paranoid,

more like I'd rather choose
to just be this observer.

Because for one, I know that
if I feel any vibe about any guy,

I should know it means
red flag, red flag!

Beyond that, basically
I hate everyone.

I hate her.

And her.

And that guy with
the fucking Boy Scout jacket.

Like, is that supposed
to be ironic?

Yeah, I would say more
misanthrope than paranoid.

Yeah, but I'm also so tired of hating
everything, you know?

I mean, truly.

# Froggy went a courtin'

# And a sword

# With a sword
and pistol... #

Check one, two.

People, focus!

The person on stage
needs to be looked at.

Hey.

- Are you incredibly stoned?
- No.

Does she do this kind
of thing a lot?

All the time.

- I miss you.
- Shut it.

...the great American
art school poseur

jerk-off extravaganza.

Anyone near the stage,
we call that the splash zone,

so you may want
to stand back.

I'm not responsible
for dry cleaning bills.

- Yeah, baby.
- Yeah, baby!

Jesus Christ. This girl's
ding-dong out of her mind.

Yeah, baby!
Yeah, baby!

You're the only
girl here.

Yeah, baby!
Yeah yeah, baby!

I wish I had
my camera.

Yeah, baby! Yeah, baby!
Yeah, baby!

Yeah, baby!
Yeah, baby! Yeah, baby!

Yes yes yes, yeah!

Please enter.

Well. Hello.

Mrs... Ruth.

- Arthur, I have something to say.
- Please.

What we had was very special,
but it's in the past.

We can't continue
to hold grudges

and be angry
with one another.

I hold no grudges
with you.

I'm happy that you...
appear so happy.

Arthur, this
has to stop!

I know that you
sent us the feces box

and the feces
gift basket!

Ruth!

Do you know how horrified
I am that you think

I could commit
an act so heinous?

You don't know me
at all, do you?

I know that you're
frustrated, Arthur,

sitting idly by
as George and I

fall deeper and deeper
in love each day.

But we had our chance,
we had our time...

We never
had a chance!

So you are harboring
feelings!

I do harbor feelings.

I'm human.

And I'm a man.

You of all people
should know that.

But I would never send
those things to you.

I could never
send you...

poo.

Ever!

I wish I could
believe you.

I wish you could, too.

Now I'm going to have
to ask you to leave.

# I keep
my butterfly close #

# When you don't wanna
be bothered #

# Don't go waking
me up #

# 'Cause I ain't
giving you nada #

# 'Cause I got
me a toy #

# And it works for me #

# It lasts longer
than the battery #

# So you'd best
believe that #

# A toy, every girl
must have a toy #

# The way
it make you feel #

# Every girl
must have a toy #

# A toy, every girl
must have a toy... #

Is this the line?

Yeah.

# I used to wish
that you would love me #

# And fantasize
on how we used to be #

# Until I discovered
something better than you #

# I don't need,
don't need... #

So, this course I'm taking,
"Recovery from Madness,"

the woman who
teaches it was actually

or is bipolar.

Do you have to be
bipolar to get in?

Yeah, it helps.
Anyway, she wrote this incredible book

explaining what it feels like.

She's kind of a pioneer.

Oh.

Oh, here.

Thank you.

Don't thank me.

I could wait on you
hand and foot all day.

I'm serious.

It would make me
a very happy man.

So, you know, last night
when I was putting on that condom...

Oh, listen, you don't
have to explain.

I should just go back on the pill
and it won't be a problem.

No no no no, you know,
I used to think that

I had, like, a problem
staying hard or whatever.

Hey, no,
it's okay, really.

No, then I realized

that I'm totally
hard when l...

you know, like
when people role...

I really like that dynamic when,
like, one person is boss

and the other person
is sort of like

more dominant or the other person
is a little more sub...

I'm not explaining
this very well.

No, you're...

- you're explaining it fine.
- It's actually...

You don't need
to explain it anymore.

You know, look, I know
everyone has their thing.

I've known prostitutes
and dominatrixes.

I've been to sex clubs
and leather clubs.

I've heard of guys who
can only come if the...

I don't know, the girl
is sitting on a balloon.

I wrote this whole erotic
novella about a girl who...

I was hoping that
we could be...

- We can be anything.
- No, l...

I was hoping that...

we...

could have normal sex.

- Like normal sex?
- Yeah, normal sex.

You know,
the way normal people do it.

I mean, normal people
have sex, right?

- Yeah, I presume so.
- Yeah!

They don't turn it
all into some fantasy

or get drunk or smoke pot
to make it interesting.

We can smoke pot.
I can get pot.

No, I don't want
to smoke pot.

I smoked so much pot,
it was...

it made me me.

Now all those things
just seem

like an escape from sex.

All right, well, I'll put
some thought into exploring

my normal side.

Oh, that's not
what I was saying.

But anyway, look,
I should go to bed.

I've got class tomorrow.

- So, I'm going home?
- If you need to.

Okay.

Yuck. Spinnies.

Are you gonna
barf in my bed?

Nah.

'Cause I can
get a garbage can

and put it next
to you if you want.

Nah.

I can't believe I drank so much
and didn't even have fun.

I can't believe
I made out with Russell.

He's a really
good kisser.

Yeah.

So is Edie, like,
full-time lesbian

or is she just like
art school bi-girl?

Nope, hard core.

Like, totally
lesbian feminist.

Is she going out
with that girl?

That red-haired girl
with the wife beater?

You okay, Anita?

Maybe I could
use that garbage can.

Arthur?

"To the wonderful
Fisher family.

I am sorry to inform you
that effective immediately,

I am resigning
from Fisher & Diaz

as well as releasing tenancy
of my room in the Fisher residence.

I no longer feel comfortable
in these surroundings.

- Best, Arthur."
- Who's Arthur?

Who are you?

This is my friend Anita.
That's my brother David.

And this is my
brother Nate.

Hi.

Hey.

Arthur quit.

Oh, that's too bad.

What the hell happened?
I just bought him a suit.

Well, I got to go.
I have to take Maya

over to her new friend Jaden's
house for a play date.

Oh, cool.

No, leave. Maya has places to be.
I'll be fine.

I didn't know two-year-olds
had actual friendships.

Yeah, they met at Mommy and Me.
They really hit it off.

Oh, where's all your
garage sale stuff?

I don't have any.

Look, everything
I have, I need.

Don't ask.

I wonder if Arthur left
because he felt pressured.

Like Keith and I were trying
to welcome-wagon him into Gayland.

Gayland? Please, Arthur
had a thing with Mom.

In fact, I'm pretty sure
they were fuck buddies.

- Whoa.
- Arthur and Mom?

Yeah, she was
very vague about it,

but I know
something went on.

Scott, I'm putting
you out in the audience,

in case some freak
has gotten in.

Keith, I'm making you
the designated for Celeste.

Got it.

I want you to park it outside
of her dressing room

and do not let anybody in except
for the rabbi and lawyer.

Just those
two guys, check.

No, they're
the same guy.

Copy that.

Fred, I think I've already
made this perfectly clear.

Yes.

Yes.

No, I'm fine doing the crappy
Kid's Choice Awards,

but I will not present
with Hillary fucking Duff.

There has
to be someone else.

Come on, think a little
harder than that.

The Olsen twins?
What, is that supposed to be funny?

At the tone
leave me a message.

Hi, it's me.
I miss you.

Where are you?

- Hi.
- Hello.

- How you doing?
- Good.

- She in there?
- I believe so.

- Okay.
- I'm not supposed to allow anybody in.

Oh, I understand,
but I'm Ellen.

- It's my show, so...
- Right.

Not a threat.
That's a pretty blouse.

That doesn't sound manly.
Nice shirt.

- Thank you.
- Is that mauve or mauve?

- Yeah.
- Pretty.

- Thank you.
- Excuse me.

- Celeste.
- Hmm?

- Hi, I'm Ellen.
- I know that!

Oh, well...

- Pineapple?
- No thank you.

It's like my brain is
encased in this fluid

and if I move,
then the fluid moves

and my brain kills.

Or it could
be encephalitis.

Here, try my soda.

Looks like
you sold my TV.

Oh, yeah, I got 50!

Your little boys
are so cute!

The big one looks
exactly like his daddy!

Yeah, his daddy's just
gonna buy some more junk

and we're gonna spend
the 50 we just made.

"Control Freaks"
is the movie.

And Colin Farrell, who she's
just friends with...

I am. We're just friends.
He's really sweet though.

Whatever you say.

And so let's talk
a little bit about the CD.

- "Me. Here. Now!"
- "Me. Here. Now!"

And is it me comma,
here comma, now?

No, me period,
here period, now.

- Exclamation.
- Exclamation mark. It is strong.

It's about me
being here right now.

I mean, I want all my fans,
all the girls out there

to know that the most important
thing is to be yourself

and to be here now.

That's right.

And this is who
you are in the now.

But if you were someone
different say yesterday

or even tomorrow
that's still who you are, it's now.

Although it was before
or maybe later.

But it's you
in the then.

Uh-huh, and it comes out
in two weeks.

Oh my God,
creepy Colin Farrell

just left me another
creepy message.

Can't we do something
about that?

- You know, legally?
- Well, I guess that's it.

Keith, did you use the bathroom
in Celeste's dressing room?

Yeah, but that's when
she was doing the show.

No one was around
so I thought...

Yeah, dude,
it's not cool, okay?

Okay, I'm sorry.

You do not use
the client's can ever.

Got it.

I think I know who
sent us the... the...

- The shit?
- Yes, the shit.

I believe
it was Arthur.

Arthur?

George, Arthur quit today
after I confronted him.

And you should probably know
that Arthur and I once had something.

I don't know why
I didn't tell you.

No need.

It's none of
my business.

But he doesn't seem like someone
you'd be attracted to.

Well, it wasn't...

it wasn't a relationship.

But we did care deeply
for one another.

We understood one another,
we had similar interests.

Similar interests?

Like sex?

No, no, it wasn't
like that.

We had our
own language.

We nuzzled.

I don't know
what you mean.

The way horses nuzzle.

Like a head rubbing.

A head butting.

You butted heads?

Oh, you make it
sound so sordid!

Look, we did this.

Stop it. It was quite lovely.
It wasn't funny.

No.

Yes, maybe we were
a little crazy.

It's called
a folie a deux.

Two people confusing
a momentary insanity for love.

- Is that what it's called?
- Mm-hmm.

- Oh!
- Oh!

I'm sorry, Jaden and I
have to go meet some people

at The Grove
in a few minutes.

- No, it's fine, I just thought...
- Hey!

Did you get
my bed all wet?

- I thought you were coming back.
- I wish.

Well, if you want, Maya and I
could stay here with the nanny.

I could pop in a movie for her and
we could be waiting when you get back.

You're funny.

God, these sheets
feel so good.

I've never felt anything like them.
Where are they from?

Um...

I need you
to leave.

Right.

- So it's that easy?
- What is?

I mean, how are people
supposed to do this exactly?

Am I supposed to just avoid
that particular Mommy and Me class?

Or you're just gonna send your nanny
so you can avoid looking at me

and seeing me and seeing
what I thought I saw in you?

And so I just
cease to exist?

And so do you?

Nate.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.
I don't know why I'm doing this.

You have to leave.
We'll go.

Okay, I'll wait
for you downstairs.

Oh, God.

You got in trouble?

What, did you ask for her
autograph or something?

- Or look her in the eye?
- No, worse.

I peed in her john.

What, you mean like
on the toilet seat?

No.
I lifted the seat.

I just used the same toilet
she did,

which apparently
is a major faux pas.

Well, if it helps,
my day sucked too.

Arthur quit.
Yeah, I'm in hell.

And I'll probably never be home
in time for dinner again.

So where's your
other brother?

What's your problem?
You in love with my brother now?

I just asked
where he was.

God, if no one
buys this stuff,

I am not dragging it
back upstairs.

I'm just not
feeling this

like hippy-dippy paisley
crap anymore, you know?

It's like, suddenly
I just feel modern and simple.

I just want like white
plastic furniture.

So why don't you just trash
all the shit you don't want

or take it to the thrift store?

Yeah, or burn it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, Mom!

Hey, Mom, why don't we just
burn what's left over?

We can't.
Some of this stuff is valuable.

Sure you wanna
save this?

That was Arthur's pouch.

A couple
pennies in it.

I think you're right,
Claire.

Let's burn it.
Let's burn it all.

I missed you.

You were so far away.

All the way across
the courtyard.

It was nice knowing where you were
even when we weren't talking.

Were we not talking?

Not officially,
I guess.

So this question
of normal sex...

I know.
It is so silly.

I don't know
why I said it.

I don't even know
what I meant.

I think I just wanted
so much to do it right this time.

- And I thought...
- Funny, 'cause the more I thought,

the more normal sex
just kinda seemed like,

you know, bad sex.

I know.

I think, ideally sex
for me should be this

revealing of myself.

Ourselves, maybe.

I think that can
be a loving thing too.

- Right?
- Mmm.

Don't take Brenda apart

and just sort of hand
me the good stuff.

I want all the stuff,
even the bad stuff.

What?

Oh.

Mmm.

So...

what was it

that you wanted to say?

Well...

remember when I said I could
wait on you hand and foot?

# I'm on a roll #

# I'm on a roll #

# This time #

# I feel my luck #

# Could change #

# Kill me, Sarah #

# Kill me again... #

What's this?

# It's going
to be a glorious day... #

You look weird.

Hey, can you
hold her?

Don't let her get
too close to the fire.

Okay.

# Pull me out #

# Of the lake #

# 'Cause I'm your
superhero... #

# We are standing
on the edge #

# The head of state #

# Has called for me #

# By name... #

Mom.

I'm moving back
into the house.

Okay.

You can have
Arthur's room.

Can I have
the coach-house then?

Well, I don't see
why not.

# A glorious #

# Day #

# I feel my luck #

# Could change #

# Pull me out #

# Of the aircrash #

# Pull me out #

# Of the lake #

# 'Cause I'm your
superhero... #

# We are standing on the edge #

# We are
standing on the edge. #
