Saison 5 Episode 3
"Hold My Hand"

But why can't I go to school today?

I told you,

I want you home with me.

Who's my boy?

Who's my big man?

Me.

Who needs school?

But I like school.

So did I.

Everybody forgets mommy was smart



And went to college.

They don't really teach
you what you need to know.

Like why do men fly the coop?

They always fly the coop.

Except for you, Georgie.

Mom.

Oh, christ.

It's your favorite,

Fried bologna and velveeta.

Eat it.

It's a stinking life, George.

You try your hardest to
wear high heels and a girdle.

You go to work every day
and things just get worse.

That's the way it is.



What are those for?

Mommy hurts.

What if you fall down again?

I'll take a nap right here.

Hold my hand.

The whole time you're asleep?

What if I have to go to the bathroom?

Then go to the bathroom,

Get back here and hold my hand.

God, sometimes you're so stupid.

Sorry.

Listen, I'm very tired.

So don't let anybody
wake me up. I mean it!

All right.

I love you so much.

Do you love me?

You're my life, George.

Remember that.

I will.

- Excuse me.
- Hey hey hey.

- Hi, George.
- How're you doing? Everything okay?

I need to go in there.

Are they friends of yours?

No, but they've
suffered a terrible loss.

Well, this one's kind of private.

I'll just sit in the back.

Ah, George, you know what?

There's a funeral later this afternoon.
They'd love to have you.

Okay? So, yeah, really nice people.

Go upstairs, I'll tell you all about it.

- I'd like to be of help if I can.
- Well, that's good.

Mykonos was insane.

You'd meet a bunch of backpack
people from iceland or wherever,

And we'd all swim out to an
empty cruiser and party all night.

- On some stranger's
boat? - Uh-Huh.

- What if you got caught?
- Nobody gave a fuck.

Then swim back in the
morning drunk, stoned,

- And lie in the sun.
- Kiss.

I'm a new man with you.

You've changed everything.

I have? Really?

Can't you tell?

I'm happier than I've ever been.

- And it's all because of you.
- Oh, stop it.

Let's stay in bed all day

Talking...

- And fucking.
- Yes, please.

You know what?

I think we need to spend
a few years in europe.

What? Like live there?

They despise americans.
I don't need that.

But it would be so good for your art.

I mean, you would really
ripen over there.

Not france, that's too tired.

I see us in spain.

I don't know.

Where in spain?

Granada.

Barcelona.

And the islands.

Mallorca.

Minorca.

- Ibiza.
- Ibiza?

Don't touch anything. There's a system.

Okay.

Oh, and this is?

Your copy of the first
half of the first part

Of the I.A. County adoption application.

- But I already signed everything.
- Not this.

Our appointment is tomorrow. If
we're not on top of our paperwork

Shirley will kick our "gay
daddy" asses into the street.

And this pile is?

"Fertility futures" surrogacy materials.

In alphabetical order and color coded.

- Our appointment there is?
- Day after tomorrow.

We get to talk to the surrogate alone.

- Did you send the county your anger management stuff?
- Yeah, I think so.

You pounded some guy to a bloody pulp.

They have to have a paper that
says you won't do that again.

I sent it. I'm positive.

They have a record of
your assault against Roger?

Assault, that is so ridiculous.
Yes.

Did you get his affidavit
about dropping the charges,

Oh shit.

Call him. We need it
today so I can scan it

And make copies to staple
to the supplemental...

You are such a mom.

You are.

Well, then, I'm gonna
go run some errands.

Anybody needs anything? Happy to help.

Oh, no, thanks, dear. I
have to go the market anyway.

- I can do that.
- Or I can.

Oh, no, it's only a few little
things I have in my head.

- Make a list.
- And I'll pick them up on the way back.

- That's where I'm going.
- That's nice, but it's easier if I get everything.

There's no reason for you to
fetch and carry for us, Nate.

I'm looking forward
to the produce section.

Ruth, I'm going.

And I have things to do in
that direction, so we'll both-

I'm going upstairs to get dressed.

Okay, I'll make a list.

You're gonna let him go by himself?

You heard. He wouldn't let me stop him.

It'll be okay. It's
one of his good days.

I don't think so. He just tried
to crash a funeral in his bathrobe.

You can't expect him to be perfect.

I don't expect him to be perfect.
I just want the poor guy to be safe.

Maybe I should see your supervisor.

I don't know if you're ready for me.

You might be right.

But, now that we're here...

I'm a very complex person.

I'm sure you are.

I keep ending up hospitals.

Really?

Well, tell me about that.

Oh, a few times for anorexia.

Twice for alcohol poisoning.

Once I hit an artery.

I'm a cutter.

And I keep pulling my hair out.

So I see.

There's all this pressure to be normal.

And I can't.

And nobody understands.

I think I do.

I guess I expected
a few body-image issues,

But it's every girl
who walks in the door.

I know. I had a kid this morning,

She only eats on saturdays.

Mine, two beers and a candy bar,

That's it, every day
for the last two years.

I mean, Jesus, do their
families not notice

Their daughters are emaciated?

I know. You know, I was a fat girl.

- Nah.
- Oh, yeah.

- 204 Ibs.!
- No way!

Yeah. Why do you think I
have so much compassion?

Did you starve it off?

Oh, god, I tried. But I was too weak.

Those anorectics are
made of steel, you know?

So how'd you lose it?

What's the difference?

I'm beautiful no
matter how much I weigh.

No, I need to know. As a
therapist it will help me.

Was it 12 steps?

- Oh, yeah?
- Hypnotherapy?

Speed.

Yeah, see?
It's terrible. Don't tell.

- You're a fine example!
- Hey, it's fucking hard to be a fat girl.

These are from Chile.

Isn't it amazing the variety
of apples you can get nowadays?

We like the fujis.

It's a beautiful day, isn't it?

Thought you'd been
feeling a little off lately.

Maybe it's because 51 years
ago today you let me die.

No!

You okay?

No.

He was a gymnast.
State gymnast from iowa.

Keith! David!

This is Hal and Hal's friend critter.

- Hey.
- Hi.

- Pleasure.
- Hello.

We're being bad. Hal
fired up the blender

And suddenly daiquiris were
littering the landscape.

Care to indulge?

Better not. There's
the meeting tomorrow.

Right right. What am I thinking?

Keith and David are going to be fathers.

Congratulations!

I just wanted to make sure we
had a copy of your letter in hand.

Of course!
I'll get it so you can relax.

It's signed, witnessed, notarized.

Cauterized, circumcised.

And you know Roger because?

He's helping with my career.

- So you're an actor?
- Yeah, well, soon.

You know, mostly I've
been doing modeling.

But I'm, like, boring, you know?

- I need to cut loose a little.
- Yeah.

- Nothing wrong with that.
- Hal is going to be huge!

- Definitely!
- Well...

I've been well behaved.
I employ your husband.

I think I've proved I'm not satan.

Yeah, you have.
Pretty much.

Thank you, roger.

Here's to children.

- All right.
- May they be wanted and loved just as they are.

Because anything less is hell,

As we all know.

- Hey! What are you doing here?
- Same as you, looking for a date.

Doesn't this remind you of a movie?

Two people who got a divorce
meet at a singles night and they...

No!

I thought you were hooked
up with the hockey player.

That was just sex.

I don't need to hear about it.

Why not? We're adults. Adults have sex.

We don't have to be
ashamed to say it out loud.

I just think you're better than that.

You wanna come by and
see the kids tomorrow?

I can't.

I've got to go to Irvine for a
funeral director's conference.

Ugh! Fun.

Yeah. Whoo.

A really good time.

Cheer up, Rico.
Go on, mingle.

Call the boys when you get back.

Oh, there's that man I want to talk to.

- Hi. How are you? I'm Vanessa.
- Hi.

Haven't I seen you at 10:00 mass?

Joe doesn't know about the party.

It's a surprise.

We need lots of help
getting ready for the party.

- Hey, you.
- Hey, you.

Hey, you!

You hungry?

No, thank you.
I had a garden burger in the car.

- Are you sure you should be eating that?
- Why not?

That lettuce is gray.

Look at that.

Funny.

There's pasta from
the other night in the fridge.

Really, all I want is a shower.

Is there anything
internal I should know about?

- Egg-Wise.
- Oh.

God, I forgot for once.

No

Thank you for asking.

And mom wants us to come
for dinner tomorrow night.

Oh, Nate, we were just there last week.

George likes to spend time with Maya

And I really think my
mom could use the relief.

- It's excruciating.
- You don't have to come if you don't want to.

- No, I'll go.
- He's funny.

You're funny.

Yeah, yeah, I'm serious.

The way things are going in
this country we're getting out.

No, not italy. That's a cliche.

We're not taking a semester
in fucking florence.

We are building our lives there.

Yeah, maybe Spain.

Or, wait, Portugal.

Oh oh oh, Morocco.

Wait. I still know people.
What time is it over there?

Well, what time is it right now?

Okay okay. Okay okay okay.

We all know that this
procedure is cost prohibitive,

Yet fascinating.

So as a research experiment

I committed myself
to waterless embalming

For seven months.

This for many of us
is the road not taken.

But I diverged in the yellow wood

To develop better techniques
for those situations

In which there may be no h20.

Let us compare.
Typically, the anhydrous process

Would involves 16 ounces arterial fluid,

32 ounces humectant,

Or humectant co-Injection mix,

Plus 32 ounces water treatment.

Resulting in a final dilution strength

Of 3-4% HCHO.

Now in a typical conventional embalming

The numbers would be somewhat different.

With 10-12 ounces arterial fluid,

Eight ounces humectant,

Or humectant co-Injection mix...

Okay. Good to see you guys.

- Good to see you.
- You guys take care.

- Hey.
- Hey.

"Fisher & Diaz"

Hey, do you know Fisher & sons?

Well, Fisher & Diaz
used to be Fisher & Sons.

See, I own part of the business now.

The same place. Man, that is crazy.

- I worked there.
- No.

Really? "Angela!"

You're federico?

You went over to Kroener
for a while, right?

That's when I came in.

I remember your work from the board.

You rock!

And I'm pretty good
myself, so I should know.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Of course they fired me, the Fishers.

I broke a glass, you know.

They acted like I murdered
somebody or fucked a body!

Or whatever!

I don't wanna dis your partners.
You're awesome!

Hey, are you gonna go to advanced
anatomy for restorative art?

Yeah. Yeah, I am.

Well, good. We can sit together.

I'll be your groupie.

I mean, your wife won't mind, will she?

Ex-wife.

I'm in the middle of
a divorce right now.

Oh, too bad.
That sucks.

Well, let's go. We wanna
get a good seat, right?

- You're a fucking liar!
- You can read the letter yourself.

This counseling is mandatory
or you will be suspended.

- This is fucking bullshit!
- That doesn't change anything.

You have no fucking
right to do this to me!

Listen, Nolan, I'm not
doing anything to you.

- It has nothing to do...
Bitch, don't tell me what to do!

This is fucking bullshit.

I miss you.
It's been two hours.

I'm getting a new camera.

You're gonna shit.
It's digital.

Because I want to try it. I want to
find out for myself what digital can do.

I know you're a purist.

Just think of it as
a real expensive toy.

Okay, later. I love you.

- It's declined.
- Oh, no. That's a mistake.

- Your computer's screwed up.
- Do you have another card?

No. Try that one again. It works.

Declined.

What the fuck?

- I'm sorry.
- I don't understand.

You have our whole lives there on
paper. What makes us unsuitable parents?

Keith did everything he was
supposed to do. His record is clean.

But yours is not.

What?

Look, I wish you'd been
more honest with me.

It would have saved
us all a lot of work.

- What the hell do you mean?
- David.

You were arrested in Las Vegas

On may 25th, 2001

For lude and lascivious behavior

In a public place
with a male prostitute.

I am so disappointed.

I've devoted weeks to your case.

Did you really think that
you could keep it a secret?

- You fucked up.
- I did not.

You told me you took care of it.

You said the arrest was expunged.

That's what the Vegas cop said.

Look, I didn't make you fuck
that hooker and get busted.

That smug dyke Shirley
rubs it in my face.

You fucked up and it cost us everything!

The only reason I'm not
screaming back at you right now

is because I know how upset you are.

Why am I the only one who's upset?
Why aren't you freaking out?

I am upset.
But I have to drive the car and get

us home alive while you freak out!

Bullshit! You don't care!

I do care! But it didn't
cost us everything.

There's a surrogate, maybe we
can get things going with her?

You never wanted to
adopt in the first place.

Fuck the surrogate. You can meet her
yourself. I don't want any part of it.

Okay.

I mean, I knew he was pissed off,

But I did not see it coming.

You know, boom!
Just bounces me off the wall twice.

You have to be more careful with these
kids when you don't know their pathology.

He scared the shit out of me.

Yeah. Gets the adrenaline
pumping, doesn't it?

Yeah.

Oh, and I'm supposed to have dinner

At my mother-In-Law's
tonight. Oh, how depressing.

Why don't you come home
and have dinner with us?

You know, decompress
with the wacky Feldmans.

- Okay.
- Great!

I'd love to.

So then I called the bank and they
said there had been no money deposited.

Can you fix this please?
I have to get a new camera.

Claire, you're not enrolled
in college this quarter.

- Who told you that?
- Your mother.

You should have told me yourself.

I'm taking some time off. So what?

So, you can't access
the funds. I'm sorry.

I beg your pardon. That is my money.

- My father gave it to me.
- He set up a trust

to pay for your education,
not support your lifestyle

outside of the classroom.

It is not my lifestyle, it is my life!

And I'm learning more now than i
ever did in that pretentious art barn!

You don't inherit free and clear until
you're 25. The language is very specific.

This is, like, bureaucratic bullshit!

How am I supposed to move to europe

And fuckg ripen when you
won't give me my money?

Your mother and I discussed this and
we feel it's in your best interest.

You don't even know me!

- and he's waving his dick at me!
- Oh, man.

And so I told him, nothing's
ever going to happen

Till you wax your back and your ass.

And, oh yeah, get out of
my hot tub, you old geezer.

I mean, was that wrong?

Hell, no. Oh, god!

You didn't invite him
in the first place.

You are goddamn hot!

And you know it.

The hair, the face,

The whole frigging package!

You're pretty damn hot yourself.

I was gonna drive home
to Fullerton tonight, but...

I guess not.

We can go back to my room.

That's a great idea.

I'm starving. Can we
order some room service?

I'm not staying here.

I'm at the Irvine center
quality Inn down the block.

That's okay.

We'll find something.

Let's get out of here.

I, uh, set the table.
Anything else I can do to help?

No, dear. You just
stay out from underfoot.

- I'll do everything.
- You don't have to.

It's your job to entertain the guests.

Yes, but I want to help you.

So you say, but then you come
back from the grocery empty-Handed.

Hey hey hey, look who's here.

- There's grandpa George.
- Hello, there little one!

- How're you doing, mom?
- Fine fine.

Everything's fine so far.

- Oh, yeah?
- Where's Brenda?

You know, something came up
at work. She couldn't make it.

Hi. God, I got so lost.

The 10, the 5, the 2, the 210, the 101.

- Am I late?
- Nate, this is my daughter Maggie.

- Nice to meet you, Maggie.
- No, you're right on time.

- Hi, Nate.
- Hi.

- And who is this?
- This is Maya.

- That's my daughter.
- Hello, Maya.

It's great to see us all together.

Okay, okay. Everyone in the dining
room. I have to finish dinner.

- Honey?
- Shoo shoo!

He had been turning up to class drunk,

Which was something that we
were beginning to address.

- He just went off on her.
- Oh, Brenda, that sucks.

I know, occupational hazard I guess.

Sure, but still, it sucks.

I should have just
called jackie right in.

There is nothing more dangerous
than an adolescent male.

Not me. I just cook.

- He made the chicken?
- Really?

I'm impressed. It's delicious.

Thanks. "The joy of cooking. "
A monkey could make it.

Mom got kicked in the stomach once.

- Really?
- Oh, that's nothing.

Some kid threw a phone at mark once.

10 stitches. So he wins.

- Nice.
- Here.

Well, not really.

He had a reason to throw
something but not at me.

War stories and battle scars.

Our parents- Therapists
on the frontlines.

That's us.

You know, my parents were therapists, too.
Well, psychologist, psychiatrist.

Really?

- So you know what we go through.
- Well, I know what I went through.

Too many hugs. All that
support and understanding.

Not exactly.

Is your husband a therapist?

Not officially, but sort of.

So do you guys discuss
every little thing to death?

I try.

Once we had to discipline josh.

Oh, and they were all
guilty about punishing him

And he was crying.

Like, "i know that i
have to go to my room. "

"But why do we have to
keep talking about it?"

- Joshy.
- And that was just last week.

He was just walking
through the jungle one day

And a parrot flew down and
landed on his shoulder and said,

"Say, isn't your name George?"

He said, "yeah, it
is. How did you know?"

Oh, those parrots know a
lot of things, don't they?

My father is really
attached to your little girl.

It took them a little while,
but they've got it going on now.

She's so adorable.

Best thing that ever happened to me.

Sometimes I think she's the
only thing I ever got right.

I find that hard to believe.

My wife and I are
trying for another one.

Yeah, Ruth told me.

- Sorry about...
- Thanks.

So, what about you? Are
you married? You single?

Oh, I broke up with someone right
before I moved up here from phoenix.

I'm sorry.

No, it's good.

I was married for a while,
A long time ago.

But, you know, I work a lot

So it's easier for me
to be on my own for now.

Any desire for kids?

I'm sorry. Is that too personal?

No.

My husband...

Our son had a. L.L.

That's acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

- So, he didn't make it.
- Oh, Maggie, I'm...

Jesus, I'm so sorry.

I had no idea. I just, um...

I can't imagine.

Shit! Jesus.

When?

Oh, he was two,

So it was, god, six years ago.

Yeah, time doesn't help, does it?

Nope.

- My first wife...
- I heard.

So you know how it goes.

But two years-Old.

- How can they do this to you?
- I know!

It's not like I'm wasting
the money. I'm living on it!

It's your money. That's
the fucking point!

Apparently not until I'm 25!

Oh, that's bullshit! That's bullshit!

What's the difference between 21 and 25?
There's no difference!

Look, if you could pay
for us to get to barcelona,

Once we're there I can get a work visa

And translate or something.

I mean I took spanish. I learn fast.

Baby, I'll pay for everything
forever. I don't care about the money.

I care that your family treats
you like a crippled child.

Either that or they ignore me.

They always have!

There's no reason to even talk about
this anymore. There's nothing I can do.

You can confront your mother.

She won't listen!
I'm on her fucking hit list!

- You don't deserve this.
- My father would be so pissed!

There's a lot of candy. But in the
machine it sometimes gets stale.

I more of a salt and grease person.

- Fritos?
- Yeah, fritos.

How about some of those
little orange crackers?

Yeah, they're good.
What's in them anyway?

- I think I have some more quarters.
- Oh, look, they've got funions!

I'm sorry.

I overreacted. I just felt so guilty.

- I had to.
- Become a fucking lunatic?

Who attacks the one person who
loves you more than anybody?

Sorry.

Why do you act like
we're on different sides?

Because I'm an idiot.

It's not a competition.

No matter how we get
a child we both win.

Then we'll go to the surrogate together.

You know, when you apologize...

You're one sexy motherfucker.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I'm such a
naughty naughty naughty boy.

Oh, yeah. God, yes!

Let's do it another way.

Anyway you want.

Oh my god! You're the cutest
goddamned little fucker!

Did you enjoy yourself tonight?

I certainly did.

I did too.

It was pleasant.

It's such a relief to see you smile.

Oh, how I hate to see
those storm clouds gather.

It's very scary.

"Hurricane Ruth. "

I try to smile often.

It's not something you can do on command

- Please don't knit.
- I enjoy knitting.

I deserve to knit.

You put those things up,
you're a million miles away.

I'm six inches to your right.

18 inches.

We don't have to be attached at the hip.

You're a grown man for heaven's sake.

You know, I want a strong,
close family too, Ruth.

We can still do it.

Can't we?

I don't know, George.

If you would give me a moment's peace.

What are you doing?
Breakfast in bed.

Mm. Good.

This way we'll both be farting!

Hey, will you do something for me?

Shoot.

Come home for dinner tonight.

Well, I will if I can.

Say that you will.

- Why?
- I'm gonna cook.

Okay, but if I'm late

Just grab something with Maya.
I'll get something at mom's.

That's okay. We'll wait for you.

What's up? Is this some
big occasion I forgot about?

No, I'd just like us all
to have dinner together.

- Well, I'll do my best.
- I appreciate it.

Mom!

Mom!

George?

- George?
- What?

I gave you this sandwich four days ago.

We had baked potatoes and
broccoli night before last.

Why are they in your pockets?

I wasn't hungry.

I didn't want to hurt your feelings.

So you hid the food in your clothes?

I was saving it for later.

- I'm sorry.
- It's all right.

But I don't want you
to wear rotting food.

- Do I need to check the closet?
- No no.

I'll do it.

Okay then.

I'm very sorry.

It's nothing, dear.

I think it's great that
you still talk to each other.

I mean, I guess with kids you have to.

What happened with your divorce?

I don't know.

It was like the relationship got cancer-

The fast kind where nothing helps.

And now we're both dead to each other.

I kind of forgot what he looks like.

That's so sad.

You know, if you wanted
to keep this going we can.

Actually, I have a boyfend.

He's not, like, great or anything.

But, um, I don't know if
i'm ready to dump him yet.

Anyway, you're still a married man.

Right.

Well, I really hope you
find someone special.

Rico!

I'm here at the Irvine
center quality Inn.

And I just had my brains screwed loose

By a guy who can make a mutilated corpse

Look like a fucking movie star.

Angela.

So don't you be feeling sorry for me.

Okay?

I know it doesn't look like
i have child-Bearing hips.

Really hadn't thought about that.

I'm sure your hips are fine.

Having babies is something
i do very very well.

I'm incredibly fertile.

I never get sick. My last
labor was three hours.

Other women have contractions
for days. I guess I'm lucky.

And how many children have you had?

One on my own, and one
for a couple in new mexico.

Beautiful, healthy girls.

Deborah in the office has pictures.

Why did you decide
to become a surrogate?

It's not the money if
that's what you're thinking.

My husband mak an excellent
living in computers.

No, it's just, you know,

Carrying a child for someone else,

That can't be easy.

Let me tell
you a secret-

A pregnant women is the most
beautiful woman in the world.

Everybody talks to her.

Everybody wants to touch her.

It's like having a magical power
To make people happy.

The baby in new mexico,

How could you give her away?

That's what's hard for me to understand.

David, it's a mind-Set.

She never belonged to me.

And you have no problem

With the parents being two gay men?

I love gay men!

When I was in college gay
men were my best friends!

They certainly treated me
better than my boyfriends.

I'm exaggerating.

You two seem so good together.

I would love to have a baby for you.

Jesus christ, mom, would you
stop cleaning and talk to me?

No, this isn't the time
and there's nothing to say.

Don't you think it's significant

That whenever I make a
decision for myself you hate me?

I don't hate you. I hate your choices.

Look at me!

I am an adult!

And my choices are
none of your business!

You had no right to call that lawyer.

Dad loved me. He wanted me to be happy.

That's why he left me the money.

He did not intend to finance you while
you play house with a crazy person!

Look who's talking.

He wanted you to be educated,

- To learn, to go to college!
- I am learning from life!

You don't even know what
college is! You never went.

That was your choice and
now you hate yourself for it

- So you're gonna take it out on me!
- That is not true!

Then stop being a controlling
bitch and give me my money!

I will hit you back this time!

Billy and I are moving to spain.

And you can't stop us.

Get out of my house!

How does it taste?

It's good.

- We've had it before, right?
- No, this is new.

Chicken and vegetable saute...

over herbed polenta triangles.

It's good.

You know they started pulling that
great house down on the corner.

Which one? That big craftsmen?

That's a drag. It's a cool house.

We should do this more often.

You know, I just want to have dinner
like a family. Like a real family.

Quit trying to be some fucking
hausfrau! You're a rebel!

You're a freak! We're never going to be
a real family. No matter what you saute!

Well, we are a real family.

Oh, yeah, I know. That
didn't come out right.

I just meant, you know, I'd
like us to have more fun.

You know, really connect.

Well, we are connecting.

I'm having fun. You're having fun, right?

Yeah, we're enjoying ourselves.

Oh my god!

This so much better than
the one I was gonna get.

You didn't have to do this.

Yes, I did!

Oh, this is so cool.

I can use all my lenses
from my 35 with this.

This is for both of
us. We're gonna share.

No no! I got one for myself, too.

You what?

What is all this shit?

What, did you go to beverly hills
And have, like, a shopping seizure?

At are you going to do with
this antique microscope?

Oh, we'll look through it and get ideas!

Wait wait. These are the
best! Close your eyes!

Are they closed?

You bought leather pants?

You are such a fucking rock star!

Know what I'm saying?

I'll leave you with grandpa,
daddy and Caroline.

And knowing that, i
can finally say goodbye.

Ah, that was lovely.

A littleoo sad for me.

But very true to life.

Now, I'm gonna take a bath so
you two have some time alone.

- Oh, Ruth, you don't have to do that.
- That's okay.

Does everyone have everything they need?

Yes, dear. Thank you.

Goodbye.

I mean, good night.

Daddy, what's wrong?

- I'm gonna get Ruth.
- No. Don't.

Please.

You've got to help me, Maggie.

What do you mean? What
do you want me to do?

I'm having more symptoms.

I need another shock
treatment before it gets worse.

Oh, daddy.

But you mustn't tell her, okay?

I have to.

She's your wife. She wants to know.

No, she doesn't.

Believe me.

Can you just make the appointment,
Take me to the doctor and bring me home?

I don't feel right
about not telling Ruth.

I love her, Maggie.

If I lose her I'm finished.

Please.

I want to keep her.

Please help me.

I will.
