---
You will not be disappointed.
My dad makes the best
breakfast in queens.
Great.
well,not just
queens--all of new york.
You haven't had breakfast
at the four seasons.
Neither have you.
I just know everything
they do is first-class.
Tell 'em,matt.You're rich.
- Justin.
- No,it's okay.
I have had brunch there a few times.
Matt,you are going to love my
guadalajara scramble espectacul.
I dream about eating these.
And you'll keep dreaming.
Only grapefruit and egg whites
for you this morning,mist.
Hot!
mija,where's the fire?
Slow down.
I have to meet daniel at the office.
On a saturday?
He's working so hard to keep this
company from sinking,and besides,
matt and I are going
to a ranger game today.
I don't get hockey.
All that ice,and no
one's figure skating?
Betty,I didn't even
know you liked hockey.
- No,she doesn'T.Actually,I have
to go for work and-- and I owe him.
He stayed in my office for,like,an
hour when I worked late.
Yeah,I read every issue of "mode" over
the last three years-- a lot of boobs.
I'm just saying.
Oh,don't forget to meet
me at my mom's place.
Um,I'm staying there while
they fix my apartment.
Moms love betty.
They don't love me.
Actually,we haven't even met yet.
Well,she's away,but,uh,she
is dying to meet betty.
Uh,she says betty sounds like
the daughter she never had.
It's,uh,2921 madison avenue.
What apartment?
Uh,the whole building.
how rich are you?
How much money do you have?
- Justin!Hilda...
- what?
anybody home?
Oh,crap.I forgot I have
a haircut appointment.
Hi,archie!
- that's the councilman?
- Yeah.
please come in,your excellency.
Ignacio,I keep telling
you,please just call me archie.
No,sir,let me have your coat.
Stay and eat.Then you
can have a haircut.
He's cute,hilda.
And he's single,and he likes her.
That's why he comes here
every week to get his "haircut.
- Go out with him.
- Yeah,I don't know.
He's nice,but he's missing something.
What,a wedding ring
like your last boyfriend?
Oh,no!
Okay,I'm leaving.Have fun.
- behave.
- okay.
Hilda,he's a nice guy.Give him a chance.
- Don'T.
- Don'T.
You're crazy.
Derek jeter is a good-looking guy.
Sorry,but he doesn't do it for me.
Are you kidding me?That
guy gets so much--
- don't be gross
- fun.
The guy gets so much
fun,you wouldn't believe it.
I like fun.
I hate that you have to
go to work on a saturday.
I know,but until "mode" gets back on
its feet,it's gotta be seven days a week.
You know,when you're gone,I think I'll
take a little hike in prospect park.
No,no,no,no.
Hey,look,why don't you just hang out?
I'll bring you some soup,watch
tv,you can stay warm.
I have cancer,daniel.
It's not like a bowl of soup
and a nap,and I'll be over it.
look,will you do it for me?
Please.
Okay.
Your meeting with miles foster's
at 4:00.Wilhelmina's on the way.
I put out a spread in the conference
room-- cheese,olives,salami-
not the kind that makes you gassy.
Betty,that was once.It was a fluke.
Yeah...I wouldn't risk it.
Also,great news-- the doctor you want for
molly is in town for the rest of the week.
Here's his number.
Dr.Simon?That's fantastic.
Betty,thank you so much
for everything today.
I know you're not getting paid.
Oh,stop,daniel.
If you need my help,I'm always here.
And you get to go meet
your boyfriend right now.
Matt is not my boyfriend.
If I've learned one thing from molly's illness,it's
that if you have something good,you have to enjoy it.
I am enjoying it.
I just don't want to put a label on it.
You know,what's the point?
Boyfriend,girlfriend--
what does that mean?
Um,I think it means
you're getting serious.
daniel,all I'm thinking about
right now oingto a hockey game.
Go,rangers!
so I learned miles has wall-to-wall
meetings with every editor in town.
Well,no surprise.
Whenever he shoots a cover,issues
fly off the newsstands.
I know.We get him first,though.We
have a good chance.
I'm afraid we can't afford him.
I know.
He costs more than our
entire photo budget.
Well,let's make it tasty.
Promise him complete creative control.
Yeah,great.Make him want
us more than we want him?
Just make sure you
play it cool in there.
I always play it cool.
Well,right now you've got that upper-lip
sweat you get when you're desperate.
It's water.I just washed my face.
If that's what you say.
We've got a lot riding on
th,so let's make it happen.
miles,it is so great to
have you here at "mode.
" We're such fans of your work.
Th "brady bunch"-inspired shoot you did with
brad and angelina and the six kids--genius.
How on earth did you get
jennifer aniston to play alice?
I don't know what's hip or cool.
I just...take pictures.
I'm trying to do something
that makes me feel happy inside.
Well,wilhelmina and i would certainly
love to make you feel happy inside.
Daniel.
Sorry.Did that sound weird?
- You know what I mean.
- Yeah,yeah,no worries.
This all sounds good.Let's do it.
And you will have complete creative
control with no editorial interference.
Fantastic.
And we appreciate you
taking a cut in your fee.
And it's off.
You,uh,you do understand that
we're in a bit of a crunch.
So I have to suffer?Mnh-mnh,sorry.
I am a freakin' genius,man.
You said it yourself.
I can go down the block to "vanity
fair," and they'll pay my fee.
So listen.You have until friday.
If you have the money,I'll
sign the contract,and if N...
sayonara.
we need him.
Yes,we do.
So this is gonna have to
come out of our own pocket.
Wilhelmina,if you want,I can cover this.
No,that won't be necessary.
I'll cover my half.
Come on.
I have more resourceshan you.

Season 3 Episode 18
" Matt,she didn't even know who I was.
I-- she thought
I was your maid!
I know.I screwed up.I'm sorry.
Why did you tell me that I was
"the daughter she wished she had"?
Yeah,I don't know why
I added that detail.
It's weird,uh,especially
since I have a sister.
What?
- No,no,I don't have a sister.It's a bad joke!
So what,were
you,like,hiding me from her?
No,I was hiding her from you.
I-- look,my mom
is tricky,betty.
She's judgmental and controlling,and no
one I date is ever good enough for her.
Well,then why didn't
you just tell me that?
Moms love me,matt.
She'll love me.She just
has to get to know me.
You know,I just didn't want to have to put
you through the victoria hartley taste test.
But you have to put me through the victoria
hartley taste test.She's your mother.
And if my family didn't like the taste of
someone I was dating,well,then that would matter.
Can we drop the whole taste thing?
- Yeah,let'S.
- Look,I'm just saying,it matters if your mom likes me.
It matters for us,you know?
When can I meeher again?
Seriously?
Yeah.I can handle anything.
Dinner,lunch,coffee--
I'm really good at coffee.
How about a party?She's having this...
thing on friday night.
I didn't get an invitation.
Okay!Okay,okay.
Would you like to go to a party with me
at my mother's apartment friday night?
Ooh,friday?
I think I have an online
scrabble tournament.
I'm just kidding.Yes!Let's do it.
you're the best,you know that?
Okay,let's go.I don't want
to be late for the game.
Keep the change,buddy.Thanks.
willie...
selling your possessions?
Isn't that,like,one rung above
appearing on a reality sho
I have to,marc.It's not
just that photographer.
Running meade costs a fortune.
I can't let daniel leverage
me out of the company.
But you're rich.
In certain things-- real
estate,clothing,attitude.
But daniel has cash,and I don'T.
Your taste is extraordinary,ms.Slater.
I know.That sable is spectacular.
Is the lining hand stitched?
Oh,yes,by a seamstress from paris whose
great-great-grandfather was furrier to napoleon.
Really?
How the hell should I know?
Hey,why can't you just ask one of your rich
friends for mey,like the donald or sumner or martha?
And have one of those bitches own me?
No way.
My money,my equity.
Wow,you're,like,the world's
sexiest economics teacher.
Marc,if I panic now,I
will lose everything.
So with a few short-term cutbacks
here and at the office,I'll be fine.
Ms.Slater,may
I--
let's cut the bryn mawr niceties,okay?
Do you want my things or not?
We do.
Don't worry,ms.Slater.
We're very discreet.
Good.
Come back on friday with the
check for the down payment.
for god sake.
Marc,stop crying.
If you'd like,you may
try on the sable...
one last time.
hey,betty,a little bird told me about
your fancy dinner with your rich boyfriend.
Oh,was the little bird looking
at the calendar on my desk?
Well,what am i supposed to do?
You never open up to me anymore.
When we were roomies,we
shared everything.
No.Amanda,you shared
everything,and some of it was weird.
You know,B.
,You are playing this
matt thing perfectly.
A few more moves,and u will be
in the gold digger hall of fame.
I am not a gold digger.
I could care less about matt's money.
And...cut,print,oscar.Don't
change a word.You nailed it.
Amanda,I really like
matt,and he likes me.
And now I just need his mom to like me.
The show was tragic.
But if I know henri,he'll
be back on top in no time.
excuse me.
Marc!It's 4:00.
I'm sorry,it's time for my
afternoon caviar and champagne.
I'll have to call you back.
Good grief.
What the hell is this?
Marc!
What is this?
It's an almond,and that's seltzer.
Where is the beluga?
Where's the krug?
We can't afford it with
our new office budget.
I was worried that you might react this way,but
remember,you said that you wanted to make sacrifices.
You're right,you're right.
This is exactly what
I was talking about.
It's what we need.
So,um...
almonds,you said?
Yes.
Almonds...
Is there anything else th I can...
do for you?
I'm fine.
I have everything I need.
so...
eight years ago,molly was diagnosed.
They didn't catch it early.
Yes,I can see the cancer
was rather advanced.
That's why the treatment
was so aggressive.
But it worked.I mean,look
at her.She's healthy.
listen,all that matters is her ability to respond
to my treatment,and based on what I'm seeing,
there's only a small
chance,but it is a chance.
I'm about to begin work
on a new clinical study.
I will send the
information to your office.
You'll let me know what you want to do.
Could we have a couple
of days to think about it?
Molly,no.
Dr.Simon,we don't need
to take a few days.
We have our answer.
We're in.
mrs.Meade!
I was wondering if you
could help me with something.
Oh,you're worried about
victoria hartley's party.
Daniel told you?
He tells me everything.
Oh,by the way,hilda should totally
go out with that councilman.
So,uh,you-- you
know mrs.Hartley?
Oh,yes.
See,I've never been
to anything this fancy.
What do I need to know?
Oh,betty,please,you
know which fork to use.
Outside in.
- And the bread plate is on...
- my left.
- And the big glass is for...
- red wine!
So you're fine.What's the topic?
Uh,topic?
All these east side cows always have a topic of
conversation they like to introduce during the meal.
Last week,mine was the romanov dynasty.
Oh,no,I don't know what the topic i what
if it's something that I know nothing about?
Well,do you have the phone number?
- Yes.
- Dial it.
we'll get one of the maids to tell us.
Oh,that's a great idea.Okay.
Hello,yes,may I please
speak to consuela?
There's always a consuela.
Hola,consuela.
?Como esta?
That's all I got.You're up.
hola,senora.
Hola.
me llamo betty suarez.
?Y queria saber si sabias,uh,el
t?pico de discusi?N...
por la fiesta esta viernes?
Oh,perfecto!Gracias!
Torture!
The topic is torture!Isn't that great?
that's a little obvious.
Arianna did torture at
her luncheon last year.
We waterboarded liz smith.
I just read this article in "the new
republic" about the ethics of torture.
Oh,I'm so happy.
Thank you.
I'm so glad.
Hey,willie,I just got a
bulletin from engineering.
All the tvs need to be turned off.They're
doing some sort of test or something.
No computers,either.There's a
virus going around or something.
Marc,what is going on?
Nothing,it's just tech
stuff.It's completely normal.
Don't read any papers
tomorrow--bad ink.
Don't make me hit you.
Okay!
I got a call from my source at "fashion buzz," and there's a
story going around that might have something to do with you.
but I've saved the best piece of
gossip masquerading as news for last.
Which fabulous fashion world editor,"mode"-ivated
by a recent reversal of fortune,
has begun to sell off
her clothes willy-nilly?
Oh,anthis tidbit
positively slay-ter-ed me.
Her daily snack is now a healthy combination
of food-stamp-friendly nuts and soda water.
It's all so delicious...
and humiliating.
I'd tell you more,but I'm on my way out to local thrift store
to purchase one of wilhelmina slater's former possessions.
Did I say her name?
I'm sorry.
Because you know I'd never
mock someone when they're down.
I have no idea how it got out.
I swear I didn't tell anyone.
it's fine,marc.
obviously,there's a mole here somewhere.
And I promise you,I will find
it,and I will have it removed.
cancel my calls and
meetings.I'm done for the day.
Can I get you anything?
No,I'm fine.
- Willie-- I
said I'm fine.
there are some who would argue that under
certain circumstances,torture is permissible.
But others
would say-- ow!
Justin,that is tight!
don't you want to look
good for matt's mom?
Yes.
Well,this is one of
those instances sary.
good luck.
elena,that's one too many plates.
Remember?Betty's leaving.
Oh,that's all right.Just leave it.
No,I'll take it to the kitchen.
No,no,don't bother. It's no bother.
what is going on?
Hilda,remember how you asked me to let you know when you do that
thing with your eyebrows that makes you look like the son of sam?
Hey,everyone.
Thanks so much for having me over.
Hey,archie,great to see you.
Councilman?
Bienvenido,se?or.
Welcome.
Here--here,take
the wine.
- Thank you.
- It's so good to see you.
Come on in.
Bye,hilda.
Im gonna get you for this.
Oh,come on,hilda.
Try and have a good time.
Archie is great.
You deserve a good guy.
willie.
Willie,the auction house people
are here to do the pickup.
one second.
willie?
wilhelmina,are you here?
Hello,marc.
you know what?
I am not happy about this.
Come on.
Just give him a chance.
I hope you' hungry.
Because ignacio's been
cooking up a storm.
Well,I can't tell you how good
it is to get a home-cooked meal.
Really,thank you so
much for having me over.
Please,you must be always
having dinner with mayors...
and governors and
princes and bishops--
no,it's more like chinese takeout
alone in my apartment,really.
He's so modest.
The man's a celebrity,and
he's so modest.
papi,he's a queens councilman.
He's not justin timberlake.
thank you,hilda,for keeping
my feet on the ground.
you see that?
Hilda could be good for you.
Excuse us for a second.
stop scowling.
I don't like surprises,elena.
Mom...
here's your medication.
thank you.
Thank you.Enjoy.
Everything's so fancy.
And everyone looks so...perfect.
Yeah,only 'cause they'vehad an army of
people working on them all afternoon.
And you look beautiful.
Thank you.
You look so...
hello,honey.
Don't you look handsome?
I love that tie on you.
Where'd you get it?
You bought it for me.
Well,aren't I clever?
Um,you've met betty.
Oh,yes,of course.
I'm,uh,I'm so happy
that you could make it.
And I won't ask you to bring
up any of my bags tonight.
matthew,don't just stand off to theidE.
Make sure you circulate.
Edith,I love your new labradoodle.
Well,that didn't go so bad.
Right,and remember,you still
have "torture" to look forward to.
Stuffed mushroom?
I'll be right back.
Excuse me.Hello there.
- Oh,uh,hi,judge wincroft.
- We're right over there.
he has an s&m dungeon in the
basement of his weekend house.
This is great.
uh,betty.
I'd like you to meet judge wincroft.
It's very nice to meet you.
Matt,I don't know where
my mushroom cap went.
excuse me.
Dinner is served.
But first,I would like to introduce everyone to
the newest piece in the hartley art collection.
Beginning in december,it will
be on display at the louvre.
But right now it is
here in my living room.
***********
what is an appetizer
doing on my painting?
- Actually,miss--
it was me,mom.
That's mmushroom cap.
I was fooling around,tossing
stuff at,uh,mr.Randolph.
I-I apologize.
Oh,no,that's fine.
if the artist were alive,he'd get a good
laugh,but he's dead,which is why it's so valuable.
Into the dining room,everyone.
so unlike matthew to
do something like that.
I guess you bring out
his...playful side.Hmm?
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.Don't worry.
Marc,I thought I would be
fine,selling everything...
but I'm not.
So then don'T.
But I need the money.
Why,god?Why?
What have I done to anger you?
I just hate seeing you like this.
are you taking a picture
of me on your cell phone?
No.No.
This is killing me as
much as it's killing you.
Do you think I like living
without your luxuries?
That's just it,marc.They're
not just luxuries.
These things are who I am.
Each fur tells a story.
Each piece of jewelry is a piece of me.
It reminds me that I've achieved
something,because,damn it,I have.
I came from nothing,and
I've accomplished something.
But your father was a senator.
Oh,shut up.
it's the woman from the auction house.
What do you want me to tell her?
Take it.Take all of this.
Do with it what you want.
I don't care anymore!
Just bring me the money!
Marc,do you like what you see?
Well,get used to it,because
starting now,mama is downsizing.
Not where it counts,baby!
All right.So I am gonna run by the
office,close the deal with this photographer.
Then I'm gonna be back with a
couple of steaks,bottle of wine.
You and I are gonna celebrate.
Have you read about
the treatment,daniel?
Some of these side effects are rough.
I know,but,I mean,molly,it could work.
10% chance,and considering
my history,more like 2%.
Yeah,but it's still 2%.
I mean,come on,think about our future.
There is no future,daniel.
This,what we have
right now,is our future.
- Don't say that.
- I'm dying,daniel.
No!
I realize that it's so hard for me to
understand what it is you're going through.
Molly,I'm not going anywhere.
I'm gonna be right by your
side through all of this.
I promise.
Please.
I'm sorry,honey.I know how I want to live
the rest of my life,and it's not like this.
- Molly,don't--
I can't do it.
So anyway,this council
meeting went on forever,
and it was just so hot in
there,I actually fell asleep.
I mean,I even snored.
You didn'T.
Well,it could have been embarrassing,but
I managed to turnmy snore into a "nay.
" that's hilarious.
- Isn't that hilarious,hilda?
- really.
Oh,yeahthat is funny.
Well,I know I'm gonna hate myself in the morning,but
I'm gonna treat myself to one more new potato.
This was an incredible meal,ignacio.
It was my pleasure,your honor.
I just hope we can make a habit of this.
Right,hilda?
Oh,yes.Absolutely.
You should just come whenever you want.
everybody,please be seated.
- are you sure there's nothing I--
don't worry about it.It's no big deal.
Matthew,I thought it would
be fun if we split couples up.
Come.I want you back there with me.
Um,mom,I want to sit with betty.
No,stop.The name cards
were placed hours ago.
It's all been settled.
it's okay.
ignacio,come help me with dessert.
Oh,yeah.Excuse us.
Oh,justin.
I'm trying to enjoy my new potato.
Excuse me.
So how awkward is this for you?
What?No!
Why would this be awkward?
Because they're woing their
butts off trying to fix us up.
Archie,I'm sorry.
Honestly,I didn't know.They
just sprung this on me.
Please.
It happens all the time.
I'm a reasonably attractive man in
his 40s with a midlevel government job.
I'm A...
catch.
and you,your eyes have a
story that they wish to tell,
and I have my whole
life,and I listen well.
That's a justin timberlake song.
Oh,I'm so glad you got that,'cause
that would have been really weird.
Thank you.
I'm so pleased you could
all be here tonight.
There's just so much to talk about,so
many interesting things happening.
but,um,you know me.
I like to stick to one topic,
{6}********
and it's something that
has been,uh,much on my mind,
because it speaks to how
civilized people should live.
{6}********
What is going to be...
the future of opera?
Opera?
You have a thought,betty?
I was just so excited to hear
the topic.I'm sorry.Please gon.
oh,no.Really,why don't you start us off?
Everybody,this is,uh,betty suarez.
She is a friend of matthew'S.
Please,betty.
I'd be fascinated to hear your opinion.
The future of opera.
Go.
Well,um...
my experience with opera...
is not so vast.
So I guess my opinion...
is not so...
you know,fully...
you know,formed...
as...as somof you...
here.
opera is fashion.
Meaning?
Meaning that the opera will
thrive as any art thrives--
uh,by evolving and embracing new ideas and,of
course,by giving its audience a grander,
more hopeful version of themselves.
That is as succinct and insightful a
piece of criticism as I have ever heard.
Do you mind if I use
it in my next column?
but what do you mean
when you say "fashion"?
Well,I work at "mode.
" I love "mode.
" It's like my bible.
You know,and in some respec,what is
more archaic than couture dresses?
Like opera.
Exactly,and eventually,these couture collections
have an enormous influence on our modern style.
And opera can do the same thing.
Absolutely right.
I saw "don giovanni"
on the lawn last year...
here you go,councilman.
Thank you for the takeout,ignacio.
It was my honor.Who knows?
My cooking may be eaten by royalty.
Well,I was thinking of leaving a
little for my cleaning lady tomorrow.
jusas good.
Uh,honey,could you come help
me in the kitchen with,uh...
you know.
Oh,yeah.
The "you know.
" That--that
thing.
uh,good night.Excuse us.
Thanks again.
Yeah.
Subtlety doesn't run in
this family's genes,so...
I guess according to their plan,this
is when I'm supposed to ask you out.
Yeah.
Yeah,that's the plan.
- Well,good night.
- Whoa,wait a minute.
You're gonna disappoint them like that?
My dad cooked you dinner.
Hilda,you're great.
And nothing would make me happier
than to take you out on a real date--
one that you know about.
that sounds good.
Okay,guys.I asked her
out,and she said yes.
- What?Oh,my god!
- What a surprise!
We had no idea!
Oh,we're shocked.
Ay,please.
Miles,what can I say?
We just couldn't live without you.
Well,listen,I am so sorry about
the way our last meeting ended.
I just hate getting caught up in
all these messy business details.
And yet you do.
I know.I'm so cute.
So I guess we'll check in next
week,start kicking around a concept?
Whatever.I am easy.
Love to you both.
Air kiss.Air kiss.Au revoir.
So I see you put your money together.
Daniel,if we're gonna be partners,we
need to be partners all the way.
So I did what I had to do.
You know...
I know you think I'm always looking for
a way to muscle u out,but really,I'm not.
Life is too short.
Well,how about that.
Daniel meade is waxing philosophical.
Just beginning to realize
what's most important...
because of molly.
She's just determined to live life
on her own terms,even if it kills her.
oh,mrs.Hartley.
I was just looking at your pictures.
They're great.
So,betty,where did you go to college?
Um,queens college.
Oh,lovely.And were you the first
person in your family to go?
Yep.Yeah,I-I lived at home,and I
worked the whole time,but I did it.
Good for you.
That's wonderful.You're ambitious.
I can see you're going places.
Oh,wow.Thank you.
yes.Uh,matthew went to yale.
He speaks three languages.
Uh,he spent a year in
rome on a fulbright.
Have you heard him play the piano?
Nope,not yet,but I can't wait to.
Oh,well,he plays beautifully.
He took lessons for years at
the turtle bay music school.
Do you know it?
No.I haven't heard of it.
Oh,it's a wonderful place.All
the kids study there.
So,uh,te me,what exactly do
the two of you have in common?
uh,w-well,loads.
Loads.
Betty,I have high hopes for my son.
He's been given every privilege,and I
expect him to take advantage of that.
Okay.
Uh,I'm not sure i understand
what you're saying.
What I'm saying is that,uh,I hope
you enjoyed your meal tonight,
but I don't think that
we'll be seeing you again.
you know,if you're,uh,cold,you
could just say something.
We have,like,17 fireplaces.
Your mother just told me that I'm not good
enough for you and we don't have a future.
I'm leaving.
- No,betty,please,please don't go.Please.-
Matt-- what if she's right,matt?
What if it matters that
I didn't go to yale?
- It doesn't matter.
- This is too much for me.
I am not gonna come
between you and your mother.
No,you won'T.
I'd like to have you both in my life.
What,and just keep
us apart all the time?
Now,betty,please listen.
Look,I want this
relationship to have a future.
You have to trust me,all
right?Don't worry about her.
Oh,matthew,dessert is ready.
Come in afteyou say
good-bye to your friend.
I'm not saying good-bye to her,mom.
I'm saying good-bye to you.
Betty and I are leaving.
Oh,don't be
ridiculous.Just come--
no,I don't know exactly what
you said to her,but I can guess.
- Matthew-- good
night,mother.
I'm leaving with my girlfriend.
Are you okay?
Of course.
Why wouldn't I be?
No reason.Nothing.
I just don't want our budget snacks
to set off another one of your...
episodes.
I swear,marc,if you took a picture of me on
your cell phone,I will kill you and eat you.
but I've arrived at a better
place,and daniel helped me get there.
The boy blunder?How?
Molly wants to live her
life till the day she dies.
And damn it,so do I!
But what about the
cash?What about the equity?
I can live without
the rs and the jewelry.
But to hell if I'm gonna
sacrifice everything.
I've worked too hard
to let it all slip away.
So...
how e you going to pay for it?
I will do whatever I have to do.
Maybe I'll take out a second mortgage.
All I know for sure is,as god
is my witness,I will never go
without champagne and caviar again.
Now pass me a bellini,please.
And I know it's horrible,but
I'm just so frustrated about it.
Because she won't do the treatment?
I get what she'saying.
I do.It's just...
I've done everything right,and for
the first time in my adult life,
I am really in love,and
I don't want to lose it.
And--and this
treatment,it could work.
- But,daniel-- no,I know,I know
I'm not the one with cancer.
Of course it's
her decision,but--
look,she's just trying to give
you the time she does have left.
But I nt more.
Sometimes you can't get more.
Sometimes you have to take what you get.
oh,hold the door!
Hi,mrs.Meade.
Hello,betty.
So did you wow victoria hartley
with your take on torture?
No,not quite.
She changed the topic.
Oh,that old trick.
And then she told me that I was
completely wrong for her son.
She's really playing by
the rich bitch handbook.
I keep thinking there's gotta be
something I can do to make her like me.
Oh,please,betty.
You're never going to
win that woman over.
Well,maybe that's true,but
I just don't understand why.
Well,grow up,because not
everybody's going to like you.
You've just got to suck
it up and embrace it.
There's nothing I can do?
Hell,yes,there's something you can do.
You can throw it right back at her.
When one of those silk stocking hags
stares me down,do you know what I do?
Ste back?
You got that right.
Hey,it's cold out.
what's going on?
You want to live
life?We're gonna live life.
Put on your jacket.
We're going hiking.
And tomorrow,we're
gonna go to the beach.
- But it's freezing.
- I don't care.
Look,all I know is every free moment of every
free day I have is gonna be spent with you.
You want to go traveling?You
want to stay home?
You want to go to the movies?You want to
ride around on the friggin' subway all day?
It doesn't matter.All that matters is,
I love you,molly,and I'm gonna treasure
every moment I have left with you.
You got a problem with that?
No problem.
Good.
- Let's go play in the snow.
- Okay.
hey,where are you?I'm here.
Well,hurry up.It's a beautiful day.
Okay.
hi,mrs.Hartley.
Waiting for my son?
He's on his way down.
Oh,that's right.Matthew's moving
back in to his apartment today.
I won't apologize for who
I am or what I think,betty.
Well,neither will I.
What can I say?
My judgments are severe.
It's just the way I look at the world.
Well,I'm sorry for you.
But I might be around for a while.
Ready to go?
All set.Want to get a cab?
No,let's walk.
It's a nice day.
So you play the piano?
Oh,no.

You will not be disappointed.
My dad makes the best
breakfast in queens.
Great.
well,not just
queens--all of new york.
You haven't had breakfast
at the four seasons.
Neither have you.
I just know everything
they do is first-class.
Tell 'em,matt.You're rich.
- Justin.
- No,it's okay.
I have had brunch there a few times.
Matt,you are going to love my
guadalajara scramble espectacul.
I dream about eating these.
And you'll keep dreaming.
Only grapefruit and egg whites
for you this morning,mist.
Hot!
mija,where's the fire?
Slow down.
I have to meet daniel at the office.
On a saturday?
He's working so hard to keep this
company from sinking,and besides,
matt and I are going
to a ranger game today.
I don't get hockey.
All that ice,and no
one's figure skating?
Betty,I didn't even
know you liked hockey.
- No,she doesn'T.Actually,I have
to go for work and-- and I owe him.
He stayed in my office for,like,an
hour when I worked late.
Yeah,I read every issue of "mode" over
the last three years-- a lot of boobs.
I'm just saying.
Oh,don't forget to meet
me at my mom's place.
Um,I'm staying there while
they fix my apartment.
Moms love betty.
They don't love me.
Actually,we haven't even met yet.
Well,she's away,but,uh,she
is dying to meet betty.
Uh,she says betty sounds like
the daughter she never had.
It's,uh,2921 madison avenue.
What apartment?
Uh,the whole building.
how rich are you?
How much money do you have?
- Justin!Hilda...
- what?
anybody home?
Oh,crap.I forgot I have
a haircut appointment.
Hi,archie!
- that's the councilman?
- Yeah.
please come in,your excellency.
Ignacio,I keep telling
you,please just call me archie.
No,sir,let me have your coat.
Stay and eat.Then you
can have a haircut.
He's cute,hilda.
And he's single,and he likes her.
That's why he comes here
every week to get his "haircut.
- Go out with him.
- Yeah,I don't know.
He's nice,but he's missing something.
What,a wedding ring
like your last boyfriend?
Oh,no!
Okay,I'm leaving.Have fun.
- behave.
- okay.
Hilda,he's a nice guy.Give him a chance.
- Don'T.
- Don'T.
You're crazy.
Derek jeter is a good-looking guy.
Sorry,but he doesn't do it for me.
Are you kidding me?That
guy gets so much--
- don't be gross
- fun.
The guy gets so much
fun,you wouldn't believe it.
I like fun.
I hate that you have to
go to work on a saturday.
I know,but until "mode" gets back on
its feet,it's gotta be seven days a week.
You know,when you're gone,I think I'll
take a little hike in prospect park.
No,no,no,no.
Hey,look,why don't you just hang out?
I'll bring you some soup,watch
tv,you can stay warm.
I have cancer,daniel.
It's not like a bowl of soup
and a nap,and I'll be over it.
look,will you do it for me?
Please.
Okay.
Your meeting with miles foster's
at 4:00.Wilhelmina's on the way.
I put out a spread in the conference
room-- cheese,olives,salami-
not the kind that makes you gassy.
Betty,that was once.It was a fluke.
Yeah...I wouldn't risk it.
Also,great news-- the doctor you want for
molly is in town for the rest of the week.
Here's his number.
Dr.Simon?That's fantastic.
Betty,thank you so much
for everything today.
I know you're not getting paid.
Oh,stop,daniel.
If you need my help,I'm always here.
And you get to go meet
your boyfriend right now.
Matt is not my boyfriend.
If I've learned one thing from molly's illness,it's
that if you have something good,you have to enjoy it.
I am enjoying it.
I just don't want to put a label on it.
You know,what's the point?
Boyfriend,girlfriend--
what does that mean?
Um,I think it means
you're getting serious.
daniel,all I'm thinking about
right now oingto a hockey game.
Go,rangers!
so I learned miles has wall-to-wall
meetings with every editor in town.
Well,no surprise.
Whenever he shoots a cover,issues
fly off the newsstands.
I know.We get him first,though.We
have a good chance.
I'm afraid we can't afford him.
I know.
He costs more than our
entire photo budget.
Well,let's make it tasty.
Promise him complete creative control.
Yeah,great.Make him want
us more than we want him?
Just make sure you
play it cool in there.
I always play it cool.
Well,right now you've got that upper-lip
sweat you get when you're desperate.
It's water.I just washed my face.
If that's what you say.
We've got a lot riding on
th,so let's make it happen.
miles,it is so great to
have you here at "mode.
" We're such fans of your work.
Th "brady bunch"-inspired shoot you did with
brad and angelina and the six kids--genius.
How on earth did you get
jennifer aniston to play alice?
I don't know what's hip or cool.
I just...take pictures.
I'm trying to do something
that makes me feel happy inside.
Well,wilhelmina and i would certainly
love to make you feel happy inside.
Daniel.
Sorry.Did that sound weird?
- You know what I mean.
- Yeah,yeah,no worries.
This all sounds good.Let's do it.
And you will have complete creative
control with no editorial interference.
Fantastic.
And we appreciate you
taking a cut in your fee.
And it's off.
You,uh,you do understand that
we're in a bit of a crunch.
So I have to suffer?Mnh-mnh,sorry.
I am a freakin' genius,man.
You said it yourself.
I can go down the block to "vanity
fair," and they'll pay my fee.
So listen.You have until friday.
If you have the money,I'll
sign the contract,and if N...
sayonara.
we need him.
Yes,we do.
So this is gonna have to
come out of our own pocket.
Wilhelmina,if you want,I can cover this.
No,that won't be necessary.
I'll cover my half.
Come on.
I have more resourceshan you.

ugly betty
Season 3 Episode 18
" Matt,she didn't even know who I was.
I-- she thought
I was your maid!
I know.I screwed up.I'm sorry.
Why did you tell me that I was
"the daughter she wished she had"?
Yeah,I don't know why
I added that detail.
It's weird,uh,especially
since I have a sister.
What?
- No,no,I don't have a sister.It's a bad joke!
So what,were
you,like,hiding me from her?
No,I was hiding her from you.
I-- look,my mom
is tricky,betty.
She's judgmental and controlling,and no
one I date is ever good enough for her.
Well,then why didn't
you just tell me that?
Moms love me,matt.
She'll love me.She just
has to get to know me.
You know,I just didn't want to have to put
you through the victoria hartley taste test.
But you have to put me through the victoria
hartley taste test.She's your mother.
And if my family didn't like the taste of
someone I was dating,well,then that would matter.
Can we drop the whole taste thing?
- Yeah,let'S.
- Look,I'm just saying,it matters if your mom likes me.
It matters for us,you know?
When can I meeher again?
Seriously?
Yeah.I can handle anything.
Dinner,lunch,coffee--
I'm really good at coffee.
How about a party?She's having this...
thing on friday night.
I didn't get an invitation.
Okay!Okay,okay.
Would you like to go to a party with me
at my mother's apartment friday night?
Ooh,friday?
I think I have an online
scrabble tournament.
I'm just kidding.Yes!Let's do it.
you're the best,you know that?
Okay,let's go.I don't want
to be late for the game.
Keep the change,buddy.Thanks.
willie...
selling your possessions?
Isn't that,like,one rung above
appearing on a reality sho
I have to,marc.It's not
just that photographer.
Running meade costs a fortune.
I can't let daniel leverage
me out of the company.
But you're rich.
In certain things-- real
estate,clothing,attitude.
But daniel has cash,and I don'T.
Your taste is extraordinary,ms.Slater.
I know.That sable is spectacular.
Is the lining hand stitched?
Oh,yes,by a seamstress from paris whose
great-great-grandfather was furrier to napoleon.
Really?
How the hell should I know?
Hey,why can't you just ask one of your rich
friends for mey,like the donald or sumner or martha?
And have one of those bitches own me?
No way.
My money,my equity.
Wow,you're,like,the world's
sexiest economics teacher.
Marc,if I panic now,I
will lose everything.
So with a few short-term cutbacks
here and at the office,I'll be fine.
Ms.Slater,may
I--
let's cut the bryn mawr niceties,okay?
Do you want my things or not?
We do.
Don't worry,ms.Slater.
We're very discreet.
Good.
Come back on friday with the
check for the down payment.
for god sake.
Marc,stop crying.
If you'd like,you may
try on the sable...
one last time.
hey,betty,a little bird told me about
your fancy dinner with your rich boyfriend.
Oh,was the little bird looking
at the calendar on my desk?
Well,what am i supposed to do?
You never open up to me anymore.
When we were roomies,we
shared everything.
No.Amanda,you shared
everything,and some of it was weird.
You know,B.
,You are playing this
matt thing perfectly.
A few more moves,and u will be
in the gold digger hall of fame.
I am not a gold digger.
I could care less about matt's money.
And...cut,print,oscar.Don't
change a word.You nailed it.
Amanda,I really like
matt,and he likes me.
And now I just need his mom to like me.
The show was tragic.
But if I know henri,he'll
be back on top in no time.
excuse me.
Marc!It's 4:00.
I'm sorry,it's time for my
afternoon caviar and champagne.
I'll have to call you back.
Good grief.
What the hell is this?
Marc!
What is this?
It's an almond,and that's seltzer.
Where is the beluga?
Where's the krug?
We can't afford it with
our new office budget.
I was worried that you might react this way,but
remember,you said that you wanted to make sacrifices.
You're right,you're right.
This is exactly what
I was talking about.
It's what we need.
So,um...
almonds,you said?
Yes.
Almonds...
Is there anything else th I can...
do for you?
I'm fine.
I have everything I need.
so...
eight years ago,molly was diagnosed.
They didn't catch it early.
Yes,I can see the cancer
was rather advanced.
That's why the treatment
was so aggressive.
But it worked.I mean,look
at her.She's healthy.
listen,all that matters is her ability to respond
to my treatment,and based on what I'm seeing,
there's only a small
chance,but it is a chance.
I'm about to begin work
on a new clinical study.
I will send the
information to your office.
You'll let me know what you want to do.
Could we have a couple
of days to think about it?
Molly,no.
Dr.Simon,we don't need
to take a few days.
We have our answer.
We're in.
mrs.Meade!
I was wondering if you
could help me with something.
Oh,you're worried about
victoria hartley's party.
Daniel told you?
He tells me everything.
Oh,by the way,hilda should totally
go out with that councilman.
So,uh,you-- you
know mrs.Hartley?
Oh,yes.
See,I've never been
to anything this fancy.
What do I need to know?
Oh,betty,please,you
know which fork to use.
Outside in.
- And the bread plate is on...
- my left.
- And the big glass is for...
- red wine!
So you're fine.What's the topic?
Uh,topic?
All these east side cows always have a topic of
conversation they like to introduce during the meal.
Last week,mine was the romanov dynasty.
Oh,no,I don't know what the topic i what
if it's something that I know nothing about?
Well,do you have the phone number?
- Yes.
- Dial it.
we'll get one of the maids to tell us.
Oh,that's a great idea.Okay.
Hello,yes,may I please
speak to consuela?
There's always a consuela.
Hola,consuela.
?Como esta?
That's all I got.You're up.
hola,senora.
Hola.
me llamo betty suarez.
?Y queria saber si sabias,uh,el
t?pico de discusi?N...
por la fiesta esta viernes?
Oh,perfecto!Gracias!
Torture!
The topic is torture!Isn't that great?
that's a little obvious.
Arianna did torture at
her luncheon last year.
We waterboarded liz smith.
I just read this article in "the new
republic" about the ethics of torture.
Oh,I'm so happy.
Thank you.
I'm so glad.
Hey,willie,I just got a
bulletin from engineering.
All the tvs need to be turned off.They're
doing some sort of test or something.
No computers,either.There's a
virus going around or something.
Marc,what is going on?
Nothing,it's just tech
stuff.It's completely normal.
Don't read any papers
tomorrow--bad ink.
Don't make me hit you.
Okay!
I got a call from my source at "fashion buzz," and there's a
story going around that might have something to do with you.
but I've saved the best piece of
gossip masquerading as news for last.
Which fabulous fashion world editor,"mode"-ivated
by a recent reversal of fortune,
has begun to sell off
her clothes willy-nilly?
Oh,anthis tidbit
positively slay-ter-ed me.
Her daily snack is now a healthy combination
of food-stamp-friendly nuts and soda water.
It's all so delicious...
and humiliating.
I'd tell you more,but I'm on my way out to local thrift store
to purchase one of wilhelmina slater's former possessions.
Did I say her name?
I'm sorry.
Because you know I'd never
mock someone when they're down.
I have no idea how it got out.
I swear I didn't tell anyone.
it's fine,marc.
obviously,there's a mole here somewhere.
And I promise you,I will find
it,and I will have it removed.
cancel my calls and
meetings.I'm done for the day.
Can I get you anything?
No,I'm fine.
- Willie-- I
said I'm fine.
there are some who would argue that under
certain circumstances,torture is permissible.
But others
would say-- ow!
Justin,that is tight!
don't you want to look
good for matt's mom?
Yes.
Well,this is one of
those instances sary.
good luck.
elena,that's one too many plates.
Remember?Betty's leaving.
Oh,that's all right.Just leave it.
No,I'll take it to the kitchen.
No,no,don't bother. It's no bother.
what is going on?
Hilda,remember how you asked me to let you know when you do that
thing with your eyebrows that makes you look like the son of sam?
Hey,everyone.
Thanks so much for having me over.
Hey,archie,great to see you.
Councilman?
Bienvenido,se?or.
Welcome.
Here--here,take
the wine.
- Thank you.
- It's so good to see you.
Come on in.
Bye,hilda.
Im gonna get you for this.
Oh,come on,hilda.
Try and have a good time.
Archie is great.
You deserve a good guy.
willie.
Willie,the auction house people
are here to do the pickup.
one second.
willie?
wilhelmina,are you here?
Hello,marc.
you know what?
I am not happy about this.
Come on.
Just give him a chance.
I hope you' hungry.
Because ignacio's been
cooking up a storm.
Well,I can't tell you how good
it is to get a home-cooked meal.
Really,thank you so
much for having me over.
Please,you must be always
having dinner with mayors...
and governors and
princes and bishops--
no,it's more like chinese takeout
alone in my apartment,really.
He's so modest.
The man's a celebrity,and
he's so modest.
papi,he's a queens councilman.
He's not justin timberlake.
thank you,hilda,for keeping
my feet on the ground.
you see that?
Hilda could be good for you.
Excuse us for a second.
stop scowling.
I don't like surprises,elena.
Mom...
here's your medication.
thank you.
Thank you.Enjoy.
Everything's so fancy.
And everyone looks so...perfect.
Yeah,only 'cause they'vehad an army of
people working on them all afternoon.
And you look beautiful.
Thank you.
You look so...
hello,honey.
Don't you look handsome?
I love that tie on you.
Where'd you get it?
You bought it for me.
Well,aren't I clever?
Um,you've met betty.
Oh,yes,of course.
I'm,uh,I'm so happy
that you could make it.
And I won't ask you to bring
up any of my bags tonight.
matthew,don't just stand off to theidE.
Make sure you circulate.
Edith,I love your new labradoodle.
Well,that didn't go so bad.
Right,and remember,you still
have "torture" to look forward to.
Stuffed mushroom?
I'll be right back.
Excuse me.Hello there.
- Oh,uh,hi,judge wincroft.
- We're right over there.
he has an s&m dungeon in the
basement of his weekend house.
This is great.
uh,betty.
I'd like you to meet judge wincroft.
It's very nice to meet you.
Matt,I don't know where
my mushroom cap went.
excuse me.
Dinner is served.
But first,I would like to introduce everyone to
the newest piece in the hartley art collection.
Beginning in december,it will
be on display at the louvre.
But right now it is
here in my living room.
***********
what is an appetizer
doing on my painting?
- Actually,miss--
it was me,mom.
That's mmushroom cap.
I was fooling around,tossing
stuff at,uh,mr.Randolph.
I-I apologize.
Oh,no,that's fine.
if the artist were alive,he'd get a good
laugh,but he's dead,which is why it's so valuable.
Into the dining room,everyone.
so unlike matthew to
do something like that.
I guess you bring out
his...playful side.Hmm?
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.Don't worry.
Marc,I thought I would be
fine,selling everything...
but I'm not.
So then don'T.
But I need the money.
Why,god?Why?
What have I done to anger you?
I just hate seeing you like this.
are you taking a picture
of me on your cell phone?
No.No.
This is killing me as
much as it's killing you.
Do you think I like living
without your luxuries?
That's just it,marc.They're
not just luxuries.
These things are who I am.
Each fur tells a story.
Each piece of jewelry is a piece of me.
It reminds me that I've achieved
something,because,damn it,I have.
I came from nothing,and
I've accomplished something.
But your father was a senator.
Oh,shut up.
it's the woman from the auction house.
What do you want me to tell her?
Take it.Take all of this.
Do with it what you want.
I don't care anymore!
Just bring me the money!
Marc,do you like what you see?
Well,get used to it,because
starting now,mama is downsizing.
Not where it counts,baby!
All right.So I am gonna run by the
office,close the deal with this photographer.
Then I'm gonna be back with a
couple of steaks,bottle of wine.
You and I are gonna celebrate.
Have you read about
the treatment,daniel?
Some of these side effects are rough.
I know,but,I mean,molly,it could work.
10% chance,and considering
my history,more like 2%.
Yeah,but it's still 2%.
I mean,come on,think about our future.
There is no future,daniel.
This,what we have
right now,is our future.
- Don't say that.
- I'm dying,daniel.
No!
I realize that it's so hard for me to
understand what it is you're going through.
Molly,I'm not going anywhere.
I'm gonna be right by your
side through all of this.
I promise.
Please.
I'm sorry,honey.I know how I want to live
the rest of my life,and it's not like this.
- Molly,don't--
I can't do it.
So anyway,this council
meeting went on forever,
and it was just so hot in
there,I actually fell asleep.
I mean,I even snored.
You didn'T.
Well,it could have been embarrassing,but
I managed to turnmy snore into a "nay.
" that's hilarious.
- Isn't that hilarious,hilda?
- really.
Oh,yeahthat is funny.
Well,I know I'm gonna hate myself in the morning,but
I'm gonna treat myself to one more new potato.
This was an incredible meal,ignacio.
It was my pleasure,your honor.
I just hope we can make a habit of this.
Right,hilda?
Oh,yes.Absolutely.
You should just come whenever you want.
everybody,please be seated.
- are you sure there's nothing I--
don't worry about it.It's no big deal.
Matthew,I thought it would
be fun if we split couples up.
Come.I want you back there with me.
Um,mom,I want to sit with betty.
No,stop.The name cards
were placed hours ago.
It's all been settled.
it's okay.
ignacio,come help me with dessert.
Oh,yeah.Excuse us.
Oh,justin.
I'm trying to enjoy my new potato.
Excuse me.
So how awkward is this for you?
What?No!
Why would this be awkward?
Because they're woing their
butts off trying to fix us up.
Archie,I'm sorry.
Honestly,I didn't know.They
just sprung this on me.
Please.
It happens all the time.
I'm a reasonably attractive man in
his 40s with a midlevel government job.
I'm A...
catch.
and you,your eyes have a
story that they wish to tell,
and I have my whole
life,and I listen well.
That's a justin timberlake song.
Oh,I'm so glad you got that,'cause
that would have been really weird.
Thank you.
I'm so pleased you could
all be here tonight.
There's just so much to talk about,so
many interesting things happening.
but,um,you know me.
I like to stick to one topic,
{6}********
and it's something that
has been,uh,much on my mind,
because it speaks to how
civilized people should live.
{6}********
What is going to be...
the future of opera?
Opera?
You have a thought,betty?
I was just so excited to hear
the topic.I'm sorry.Please gon.
oh,no.Really,why don't you start us off?
Everybody,this is,uh,betty suarez.
She is a friend of matthew'S.
Please,betty.
I'd be fascinated to hear your opinion.
The future of opera.
Go.
Well,um...
my experience with opera...
is not so vast.
So I guess my opinion...
is not so...
you know,fully...
you know,formed...
as...as somof you...
here.
opera is fashion.
Meaning?
Meaning that the opera will
thrive as any art thrives--
uh,by evolving and embracing new ideas and,of
course,by giving its audience a grander,
more hopeful version of themselves.
That is as succinct and insightful a
piece of criticism as I have ever heard.
Do you mind if I use
it in my next column?
but what do you mean
when you say "fashion"?
Well,I work at "mode.
" I love "mode.
" It's like my bible.
You know,and in some respec,what is
more archaic than couture dresses?
Like opera.
Exactly,and eventually,these couture collections
have an enormous influence on our modern style.
And opera can do the same thing.
Absolutely right.
I saw "don giovanni"
on the lawn last year...
here you go,councilman.
Thank you for the takeout,ignacio.
It was my honor.Who knows?
My cooking may be eaten by royalty.
Well,I was thinking of leaving a
little for my cleaning lady tomorrow.
jusas good.
Uh,honey,could you come help
me in the kitchen with,uh...
you know.
Oh,yeah.
The "you know.
" That--that
thing.
uh,good night.Excuse us.
Thanks again.
Yeah.
Subtlety doesn't run in
this family's genes,so...
I guess according to their plan,this
is when I'm supposed to ask you out.
Yeah.
Yeah,that's the plan.
- Well,good night.
- Whoa,wait a minute.
You're gonna disappoint them like that?
My dad cooked you dinner.
Hilda,you're great.
And nothing would make me happier
than to take you out on a real date--
one that you know about.
that sounds good.
Okay,guys.I asked her
out,and she said yes.
- What?Oh,my god!
- What a surprise!
We had no idea!
Oh,we're shocked.
Ay,please.
Miles,what can I say?
We just couldn't live without you.
Well,listen,I am so sorry about
the way our last meeting ended.
I just hate getting caught up in
all these messy business details.
And yet you do.
I know.I'm so cute.
So I guess we'll check in next
week,start kicking around a concept?
Whatever.I am easy.
Love to you both.
Air kiss.Air kiss.Au revoir.
So I see you put your money together.
Daniel,if we're gonna be partners,we
need to be partners all the way.
So I did what I had to do.
You know...
I know you think I'm always looking for
a way to muscle u out,but really,I'm not.
Life is too short.
Well,how about that.
Daniel meade is waxing philosophical.
Just beginning to realize
what's most important...
because of molly.
She's just determined to live life
on her own terms,even if it kills her.
oh,mrs.Hartley.
I was just looking at your pictures.
They're great.
So,betty,where did you go to college?
Um,queens college.
Oh,lovely.And were you the first
person in your family to go?
Yep.Yeah,I-I lived at home,and I
worked the whole time,but I did it.
Good for you.
That's wonderful.You're ambitious.
I can see you're going places.
Oh,wow.Thank you.
yes.Uh,matthew went to yale.
He speaks three languages.
Uh,he spent a year in
rome on a fulbright.
Have you heard him play the piano?
Nope,not yet,but I can't wait to.
Oh,well,he plays beautifully.
He took lessons for years at
the turtle bay music school.
Do you know it?
No.I haven't heard of it.
Oh,it's a wonderful place.All
the kids study there.
So,uh,te me,what exactly do
the two of you have in common?
uh,w-well,loads.
Loads.
Betty,I have high hopes for my son.
He's been given every privilege,and I
expect him to take advantage of that.
Okay.
Uh,I'm not sure i understand
what you're saying.
What I'm saying is that,uh,I hope
you enjoyed your meal tonight,
but I don't think that
we'll be seeing you again.
you know,if you're,uh,cold,you
could just say something.
We have,like,17 fireplaces.
Your mother just told me that I'm not good
enough for you and we don't have a future.
I'm leaving.
- No,betty,please,please don't go.Please.-
Matt-- what if she's right,matt?
What if it matters that
I didn't go to yale?
- It doesn't matter.
- This is too much for me.
I am not gonna come
between you and your mother.
No,you won'T.
I'd like to have you both in my life.
What,and just keep
us apart all the time?
Now,betty,please listen.
Look,I want this
relationship to have a future.
You have to trust me,all
right?Don't worry about her.
Oh,matthew,dessert is ready.
Come in afteyou say
good-bye to your friend.
I'm not saying good-bye to her,mom.
I'm saying good-bye to you.
Betty and I are leaving.
Oh,don't be
ridiculous.Just come--
no,I don't know exactly what
you said to her,but I can guess.
- Matthew-- good
night,mother.
I'm leaving with my girlfriend.
Are you okay?
Of course.
Why wouldn't I be?
No reason.Nothing.
I just don't want our budget snacks
to set off another one of your...
episodes.
I swear,marc,if you took a picture of me on
your cell phone,I will kill you and eat you.
but I've arrived at a better
place,and daniel helped me get there.
The boy blunder?How?
Molly wants to live her
life till the day she dies.
And damn it,so do I!
But what about the
cash?What about the equity?
I can live without
the rs and the jewelry.
But to hell if I'm gonna
sacrifice everything.
I've worked too hard
to let it all slip away.
So...
how e you going to pay for it?
I will do whatever I have to do.
Maybe I'll take out a second mortgage.
All I know for sure is,as god
is my witness,I will never go
without champagne and caviar again.
Now pass me a bellini,please.
And I know it's horrible,but
I'm just so frustrated about it.
Because she won't do the treatment?
I get what she'saying.
I do.It's just...
I've done everything right,and for
the first time in my adult life,
I am really in love,and
I don't want to lose it.
And--and this
treatment,it could work.
- But,daniel-- no,I know,I know
I'm not the one with cancer.
Of course it's
her decision,but--
look,she's just trying to give
you the time she does have left.
But I nt more.
Sometimes you can't get more.
Sometimes you have to take what you get.
oh,hold the door!
Hi,mrs.Meade.
Hello,betty.
So did you wow victoria hartley
with your take on torture?
No,not quite.
She changed the topic.
Oh,that old trick.
And then she told me that I was
completely wrong for her son.
She's really playing by
the rich bitch handbook.
I keep thinking there's gotta be
something I can do to make her like me.
Oh,please,betty.
You're never going to
win that woman over.
Well,maybe that's true,but
I just don't understand why.
Well,grow up,because not
everybody's going to like you.
You've just got to suck
it up and embrace it.
There's nothing I can do?
Hell,yes,there's something you can do.
You can throw it right back at her.
When one of those silk stocking hags
stares me down,do you know what I do?
Ste back?
You got that right.
Hey,it's cold out.
what's going on?
You want to live
life?We're gonna live life.
Put on your jacket.
We're going hiking.
And tomorrow,we're
gonna go to the beach.
- But it's freezing.
- I don't care.
Look,all I know is every free moment of every
free day I have is gonna be spent with you.
You want to go traveling?You
want to stay home?
You want to go to the movies?You want to
ride around on the friggin' subway all day?
It doesn't matter.All that matters is,
I love you,molly,and I'm gonna treasure
every moment I have left with you.
You got a problem with that?
No problem.
Good.
- Let's go play in the snow.
- Okay.
hey,where are you?I'm here.
Well,hurry up.It's a beautiful day.
Okay.
hi,mrs.Hartley.
Waiting for my son?
He's on his way down.
Oh,that's right.Matthew's moving
back in to his apartment today.
I won't apologize for who
I am or what I think,betty.
Well,neither will I.
What can I say?
My judgments are severe.
It's just the way I look at the world.
Well,I'm sorry for you.
But I might be around for a while.
Ready to go?
All set.Want to get a cab?
No,let's walk.
It's a nice day.
So you play the piano?
Oh,no.
