[♪♪♪]

(Birds chirp)

(Coffee pours)
(kettle clunks)

(Content exhale)

- Good morning, mother!
- Good morning.

Yummy, French toast!

Here you are, darling.

- ♪ Emotions
- Thank you!

You are the best!

We adore you.

Of course you do.
I have everything!



Nathan: Is that eggs Benedict
I smell?

My husband!

- How was your sleep?
- Wonderful,

on account of the sex.
(light pat)

- (Bashful chuckle)
- (laughs)

Well, I'm off to work!

♪ Emotions

- Nathan: Pass the salt, junior.
- (fire whooshes)

♪ Please set me free

- ♪ Ooh ooh
- (sniffles)

(Coffee pours, dog barks
in the distance)

Agh! Fuck! Fuck me!

- Mommy swore.
- Mommy swore!

Why aren't you guys
dressed for school?



Why are you still
in your pyjamas?

(They giggle)

Do I have to oversee
every step

of your morning routine?
Come the fuck on...

(gasps) Mommy swore!

Sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

- Is that gas I smell?
- Oh my God!

(Knob clicks)

- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

Is this about Anne?

No, it's not about Anne.

Okay, well, I can't have you
go awol again, so...

(deep inhale)

I'm gonna give you
your phone back,

if you can promise
to take it easy today.

Yeah, sure.
Nathan Jr.: Hey.

Hey, you're back from
aunt Cassie's.

How was last night?

How-you-you're back.

- So are you.
- Yeah. Uh...

- how-how was it?
- It was good.

Aunt Cassie helped me pick
suits for the semi-formal.

Did she really?

She prefers this one.

Huh, not sure I agree
with her, I mean,

check out this option
right here, I mean, wowie.

Now, that is a sturdy fabric,
more reliable, really.

The kind of choice that
covers you... For life.

Or, you know, you can go
with your aunt Cassandra.

Aunt Cassandra's suit.

Right. I mean, fun, sure.
But you know,

Fabric's a little loose,
might forget about you,

Head to a music festival
for the weekend, whoops!

You know?

Are we still talking
about suits?

Sorry, both are slammin'.

So Cassandra will be
joining us

for his big send-off later
today.

Oh, uh, really?

You're gonna be there too,
right, Kate?

Of course I will be.
You just, I want you to...

think good and hard about
those uh, two choices...

Yeah, I get it.

(Footsteps recede)

- (Sighs)
- Sorry.

[♪♪♪]

(Footsteps thud)

I'm going back
to anger management.

(Chair creaks)

(Dish clinks)

(Thuds)

Jesus, whatever for?

I mean, you are clearly
cured of your anger.

Sorry about the blueberry.

Listen, today in group,

they want us to bring somebody.

Somebody who means
the most to us.

So, will you come?

No,
I think I've heard enough

about your anger
for a lifetime.

Okay, okay! Sorry
I'm not fucking perfect!

Perfect?! Okay, I would
settle for a partner

who doesn't scare our daughter

Into putting herself
into danger

instead of talking
to her own mother!

I know, okay? I know!
I'm trying to fucking fix it!

You know what? Don't come!
Don't come today.

Don't even bother.
You know what?

Just enjoy living your
flawless, perfect fucking life!

And there is a stain
on your shirt, FYI.

(Rushed footsteps recede,
door opens)

(Sighs) Dammit.
(door slams)

[♪♪♪]

(Car door opens, slams)

(Frustrated) Argh!

(Sighs)

[♪♪♪]

(Groans)

Fuck!

(Angry screams)

(Gasps) Hey, you!

Hi, how did the uh,

rest of the interview go?

Uh, we went with
mo's approach.

Rebecca just addressed
the questions head on.

Honestly, it went well.

I think we put it to bed.

And we're looking good
for the book event today?

Great.

Is catering aware
of our number?

I let rabino know we're
expecting a full house.

You went with
rabino catering?

Is-is that bad?

No, it's just not
the catering company

I would've gone with,
but I'm sure it's um, fine.

And the mic station's set up,
though?

Because I think I hit the right
note with the closing speech.

About that.

- Anyone need a hug in here?
- No.

Uh, what's going on
with the closing speech?

You haven't told her yet?

I thought I told you
no surprises!

Okay, what the fuck
is going on?

Sloane mentioned
that she'd prefer

- I do the closing speech.
- What?

It's just that I,

Being a victim of Goldie's
company,

Am the more sympathetic choice.

- For the speech.
- Mm-hmm.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

Uh, let's...

Let's hear it, then.
The speech.

- Oh, um...
- Yeah!

- Okay! Okay.
- It's great.

- Here we go.
- What the fuck?

Oh, you can't imagine
the storage.

All right, uh...

Hey, guys!

Don't open that way,
this isn't a BBQ.

Say, "good afternoon."

Good afternoon, guys!

Don't call them "guys,"
it's disrespectful,

These women have been
taken advantage of.

Okay. Um...

I want to thank you all
for comin' down here today...

"comin' down?" what at I at,
a family reunion?

Don't say that.

Um...

And-and we are so excited
about this book.

Drop the "so," disingenuous,
you know what I mean?

And couldn't be prouder
of-of our Rebecca for...

it's "more proud,"
and, "our Rebecca?"

She's a journalist,
not our daughter, Rosie.

- I'm sorry.
- No, I'm sorry.

I-I, believe me, I wanna
let you do this, I do,

but I can't, because every word
you chose, every word is wrong!

Top to bottom wrong, I'm sorry!

I'm sorry, I'm just gonna-
I-I'll talk to her,

- because I gotta-I'll do it.
- (Clears throat)

- I'll do it.
- Wha-?

[♪♪♪]

(Controllers click)

(Flapping)

Alice: I think mom feels
really bad.

God!

Oh my god, honey,
what did I tell you

about sneaking up on me
when I'm migrating?

I didn't sneak up, I've been
here for like, an hour,

Waiting for you to finish
this level.

All right, well, there's no
levels in "birds over Paris."

You just... (sighs)

You just follow your flock.

- Dad, you have to talk to mom.
- Okay.

Please.

You've known her 15 years.

I've known her uh...

Okay, well, actually,
not much longer.

Look, when I started
high school,

- I was really nervous.
- Hmm.

You warned me that
it was gonna be hard.

That I'd be disrespected,
and wedgied.

Which hasn't happened,
by the way.

So many wedgies.

But you also promised
that it'd be worth it.

Are you... Okay.

(Sighs)

Is this marriage advice?

(Pensive exhale)

Sloane: This is great,
beautiful.

I'm gonna... Guys,
out of the way, please!

(Chuckles)

Sloane!

Hi, look, I'm fully capable
of making the closing speech.

I know I took a couple
of days, but I'm fine.

Better than fine,
I'm not broken.

Easy there, tiger, no one
said that you were broken.

Look, I love Rosie, I do,
she's like a sister,

but we have too much riding
on this event for...

Kate, have you considered
you might not be

in the right head space
to do all of this?

You're kidding, right?

I'm literally in a perfect
head space, like,

my head is like, in such
a good place that like,

the queen could vacation here,
but in fact she'd show up

And be like, too perfect,
too many options,

beautiful beach,
I'm out of here.

Honey, listen to me.

I agree we have a lot
riding on this event,

which is why I think...

You've gotta let me do this,
Sloane.

Okay, fine, do the speech.
Jesus, just get it together!

I will, thank you.
Better this way.

Uh-huh.

How you feelin', by the way?

You uh, you go see Paul
for a baby check-up?

- I did.
- What'd he say?

- That he loves me.
- Well, shit!

So I dumped him.
Again.

That makes sense.
He loves you,

he cares for a baby
that's not even his,

And uh, he made you come
with a transvaginal wand.

Okay, okay, you know what?
Don't worry about me!

- Don't worry about me.
- I gotta go.

Yeah, I gotta work
on these lines.

R
Repay you, Melissa.

So, thank you.

For everything.

- Buddy: Beautiful work, reg.
- Thanks, man.

Okay. Anne, welcome back.

It's good to see you.

You have the floor.

Oh, um, you can skip me,

because my person chose
not to come, so.

That happens,
but, believe it or not,

isn't the whole purpose
of this exercise.

Uh, okay.

(Clears her throat)

I guess I'm pretty angry.

Um, and my anger's been...

well, a burden.
Not just to me,

But to the people that mean
the most to me.

I took a pretty big step
backwards yesterday.

I yelled at a patient,

Threatened her life
in front of my daughter

- at her school.
- Yikes.

Maybe I should have shown
more compassion.

Obviously, she was struggling.

But here's the thing,

when it comes to my family,

My kids,

I just, this-something snaps
inside of me.

And I-I know it scares people.

I'm like this gorilla
in a cage.

And I've got these gorilla kids
that I need to protect.

And then there's my partner.

Is he also a gorilla?

No, he's like this...

Zookeeper.

You know, he comes by
and gives me some slop,

he hoses me down,

he makes sure that I haven't
terrified the kids,

Like, that sort of thing.

But there's fear in his eyes.

(Sighs)

Being around me is his least
favourite part of the day.

Well, I'm sure they're proud
that you've come back to group.

I don't know, I thought
I was doing it for them,

But maybe it is for me.

I can't keep fighting
like this.

I need some ease in my life,

or I'm just gonna end up
this sad,

Old gorilla,
alone in a cage.

'Cause that zookeeper is not
gonna keep cleaning it.

I will clean your filthy cage
until the end of time.

(Sighs tearfully, laughs)

(Happy exhale)

In writing this book,

I knew that I would anger
certain people,

Specifically those who felt
threatened

by the giant flashlight
I've shone on this industry.

But after speaking with
these women,

getting to know them,

I knew that it was worth
the risk.

Sometimes to put out a fire,

you need to light some
of your own matches.

What disturbed me the most...

Okay, whatever mad Max
scenario you plan on unleashing

on all these innocent people,
know this,

I am prepared.

And my hair is only shinier
from the eggs, and...

yeah, "innocent people?"
the last I checked,

I was just trying to run
an honest business,

and you came to my house,

And you dragged my good name
through the mud

for your financial gain.

Okay, then what are you
doing here?

Oh, I just wanted to see
it for myself.

And now that I have, pfft!

I don't think I have much
to worry about.

Rebecca: But enough from me,
it's time to hear

from the people
who have seen the inside.

These brave women had the
courage to share their stories,

Without which this book
would not be possible.

(Applause)

Goldie, I'm sorry for
what you're about to see.

What's that?
A couple sad losers

moaning about the time
they actually had a job?

Give me a break.

Thank you, Rebecca,
and thank you Wynston

- For hosting us all today.
- What...

Ginnie: I'm sure most
of you are wondering

what one of the founders
of the business in question

Is doing here aligning herself
with the victims of it.

Like I said, whatever sad
losers you've scrounged up,

it's got nothing to do with me.

But...

That's your daughter.

(Scoffs) It's a good thing
I have other daughters.

Jesus, you're something else.

Oh, come on,
I've seen how you work.

Judge away, Kate foster,

but you're lookin' in a mirror.

(Footsteps recede)

Ginnie: Somewhere along
the way, things...

took a turn.

And a lot of you here today...

Hey. You still got
that speech on you?

- What? Why?
- I want you to do it,

I want you to make
the closing speech.

Uh, but you said
it was all wrong.

I was being a controlling
idiot, okay?

I should've just trusted you.

You're the one who saved
this client.

(Sighs)

This is your speech
to give, not mine.

Okay?

Now, do you have the cards?

- Yeah!
- Still in there?

Honestly, I forgot
they were even there.

- You're gonna be great.
- Wait, you're not staying?

No, I trust you to do it.

I got somewhere to be.

(laughs, sighs)

Ginnie: And I just want
to thank you all so much

for listening to me.

Thank you.

(Applause)

(Applause)

Cassandra: Big smiles. Okay,
now one like you're hot,

There's a tropical breeze,
it's blowing on you.

How about just a couple
normal shots?

No! No, no, no, no.

Let's do one on top
of the Limo.

Like you stole it.

- Is Kate coming?
- I thought so.

I mean, I'm sorry, buddy.
(horn honks)

Oh. Hey!
(car rumbles)

- There she is!
- Hey!

- Nathan Jr. Kate!
- Look who it is.

- Hi!
- Hi!

- How'd the book launch go?
- It's still goin'.

You're more important.

- You look stunning!
- (laughs)

I see you went with
the wild card option.

I uh, I thought it fit
better for tonight.

I think you're probably
right.

Hey, listen,
about your aunt Cassandra.

I um,

I think she's a really good
person, I do.

And if you wanna live with her,

- that is your choice to make.
- Really?

Yeah.

I just want you to be happy.

And I'm sorry it took me
a second to see that.

I just don't want anyone
to be mad.

You focus on you tonight.
I want you to have fun.

Promise?

Thank you.

(Sniffles)

Semi-formal, let's go!

Look at you!
Come on.

- (Door opens)
- Everybody in?

Bye!
(engine starts)

(Limo rumbles)

(Kate laughs)

[♪♪♪]

(Sighs)

- So cute!
- Did you want this one too?

Nathan: And this one?
No, no.

(Wine pours)

And did you see
Nathan Jr.'s date?

I mean, he looked so happy.

(Sighs)

You there?

Sorry, yeah, I um...

I need to-I need to change
the way I'm doing things.

What do you mean?

I just don't want to end up
some ruthless business owner

so wrapped up that I...

Lose my kids,
and my-my life,

And I feel like I need
a new operating system,

like I'm overdue for an update.

Like, I can't download anything
or play stuff.

Okay, then ask for help.

I want to, I...

I just, no one's gonna do it
the way I would do it.

And... (laughs)
And maybe that's okay.

Yeah, it is.

And look, I'd very much like
to step up

to be someone who doesn't do it
the way you would do it.

I'd like that.

Hmm.

(Cell phone buzzes)
Oh, hold that thought.

Hey, Sloane, what's up?

I wish you could've seen
your girl Rosie today.

You'd have been proud.

Oh, really?

Captured the energy
of the room perfectly.

Anyway, I should go,

- but thought you'd like to hear.
- Thank you, bye.

(Sighs) Hmm!

Uh-oh, I know that look.

- What'd you do right?
- Not me, Rosie.

Letting someone else take
the wheel looks good on you.

- (Door shuts)
- Hey.

- Oh, look who it is!
- What?!

We weren't expecting you
'til later.

Yeah, I um...

thought I'd change suits.

But isn't the night
basically over?

I meant the analogy. The
suits were an analogy, right?

- You or...
- Your aunt Cassandra, yeah.

It was actually pretty
heavy-handed.

Does that mean that
you chose...

- The practical suit, yeah.
- Oh my god!

Hey, you should know,
we're not practical.

We're fun, we're crazy.

Yeah, we just ordered
Thai food.

- You guys are so lame!
- What?

What are you talkin' about?

You don't even know what
we ordered.

- Nate, you let him know.
- We got pad kra pao!

- Okay, I do like pad kra pao.
- He likes pad kra pao!

♪ Oh, I'm lonely

[♪♪♪]

(Exhales)

- Hi.
- Hey!

Come, please, sit.

Am I in trouble? 'Cause I
thought we were encouraged

To take snacks
from the kitchen home.

No. Look, Rose,

You've been working with me
a long time now.

You've stood by my side
through some big wins,

And some major losses.

I'd like to offer you a stake
in the business.

What?

I want you to be a partner,
Rosie.

(laughs)
(knocks)

Hey, boss.
You wanted to see me?

Yeah, come in, Richard,
please.

Mo, you, too.

[♪♪♪]

- (low hum of chatter)
- Hey, good job today.

Come on, you gorilla,
it's feeding time.

♪ Are you scared to wear your
heart out on your sleeve ♪

And I can't say enough
good things about this

New organic window cleaner.

And before you ask
if it's safe,

Would my assistant do this
if it wasn't?

(Spray hisses)

(Women gasp, shocked murmurs)

(laughing)

- Kate: Good morning!
- Good morning!

I love you, muah!

Are you headed to work?

Uh yeah, why?
You need something?

Um, I have something
I'd love to show you.

It's-it's important.

Oh, yeah,
let me just text Rosie,

I'll tell her to take
the first meeting without me.

- (Sax wails)
- Oh! Okay.

Oh wow.
You've really impro...

I said, you've really impro...
Never mind.

Keep lettin' 'er rip.

It's okay, guys, sound's
good for you.

- Nathan: All right!
- Woo!

My nipples are erect,
that is loud.

All right, your turn is up.

Come on, gimme, gimme, gimme.

He is just so yummy.

(laughs) I know!

Have you ever seen a baby
this yummy?

Professionally speaking, no.

This is the best baby
I've ever seen.

(laughs)

Oh shit,
I better get started.

Uh, do you want me to hold
him during your meeting?

Nah, I got him.

Hey guys.
Men: Hey!

- Let's dive right in.
- (cries out, panting)

Listen up, crystal,

you're nine centimetres
dilated, it's go time!

Jacob and Joseph: Go time!
Go time! Let's go, baby!

I need you to push like
you're in the back row

of a Neil diamond concert,

And here comes
"sweet Caroline!"

- What?!
- Push!

- (Screams)
- Get out of the way!

(Grunts, screams)

Come meet your grandma! Oh!

(Crystal screams)

Ohhh!
(baby cries)

[♪♪♪]

(Cell phone buzzes)

(Exhales)

(Cell phone buzzes)

- Hey.
- Hey, um...

It's been a minute.

Yeah.

Dude, this isn't working
for me.

This isn't working for me,
either.

I mean, I took up jogging,
for fuck's sakes.

(laughs)

Uh, but I don't-I don't want
to be the thing that...

stops you from growing.

Then... Don't.

Do you think it's possible
that we...

grow together?

Yeah.

I do.

Like-like, when two trees
are planted too close together,

and-and their branches get
all like, fused and mangled,

and they go from like,
two trees, to like,

one weirdo tree!

Just a couple of fuckin'
ugly trees!

That's right.
(laughs)

(Horn honks)

Like, obviously we have
to make room for other trees

- in our lives, but...
- Heather?

Nothing is getting in between
and I mean nothing, between...

- (tires screech, engine revs)
- These two fuckin' trees!

No! No, no, no, no!
(thud, glass shatters)

Anne?

Anne, are...
Anne, are you there?

- (Disconnection beep)
- What was that?

- (Disconnection beep)
- What was that?
