"Previously on "What about Brian"..." " Talk to me." " Carrie's deaf." "She lost her hearing." "If it were up to me, I would do the surgery." "Then that's what we should do." "All you need to know about my life is that you're not a part of it anymore." "Summons." "He's suing you?" "Heather and I, we had an arrangement." "I guess you don't know your wife as well as you thought?" "I was thinking... maybe you wanna move in... with me." " Who ate my kashi?" " Brian." "I don't eat kashi." "You know what?" "It doesn't matter, 'cause there's no milk." "Bridget's fault." "I'm not supposed to get milk." "I don't even live here." "Neither do I. I'm just staying here." "Yeah, I'm just spending the night." "Yeah, I thought you were moving in." "No, Brian's moving into my place." "This is Brian's place." "He should buy the milk." " Who wants the sports page?" " I do." " I do." "Speaking of papers, your dad gave me some stuff to give you, some papers for you to sign." "What papers?" "Selling his house in Big Bear." " He can't do that." " Why is he doing that?" "It's already done." "The buyers are moving in in 2 weeks." "Oh, man." "That's terrible." " We didn't even get to say good-bye." " I know." "You remember when we'd go up there?" "Friday night, pack up all our stuff, spend the weekend." "You know, we should go up there..." "this weekend." " Who's "we"?" " You know what?" "You're right," "Everybody." "We'll get Adam, we'll get Nic, we'll get Jimmy, Ivy, the whole gang." " Deena, too?" " Yeah, Deena, too." "In fact, I'll stop by the house on my way to work." "That's a great idea, man." "Work." "We should go." "So you and me and all of your friends are gonna get together for the weekend?" "Yeah, it'll be good practice for when we move in together." "'Cause your friends are gonna move into my place?" " No, you're moving into my place." " No, I don't think so." "Whatever." "Girls, somebody get the door, please!" " I wanna get it!" " You got it last time!" "Hello?" "Yeah, this is Deena Greco." "When do we have to decide by?" "What are you doing here, daddy?" "I'm gonna take you guys to the mountains!" "Shh!" "Mommy's on the phone." "We gotta be quiet." "Go." "All right, I guess we will call you first thing monday morning then." "No, thank you." "By." "Who was that?" "It was the surgeon's office." "They had a cancellation, and they can do Carrie's surgery next friday." "So this is it." "Daddy's taking us to the mountains!" "Yeah, I was thinking of taking you guys up to Brian's dad's place, but..." " They probably should..." " Maybe another weekend, girls." "Come on." "We always said we were gonna take 'em up there." "This'll be great for us." "We'll get out of town." "The whole gang's going." "Maybe get a little perspective." "Go up the mountain." "Make a decision." "Come down from the mountain like Moses." "Please, mommy!" "Come on." "Please, mommy!" "Okay, okay!" "Are these boots okay for the mountains?" "Don't you have any hiking boots?" "I don't really do nature." " You can use Nic's." " Isn't she coming?" "No, Bella's too little, and all those people, especially the kids." "She says kids are walking germ factories." "If she's not going, I'm not going." "She's the only one that likes me." "What?" "Dave likes you." "Jimmy likes you." "No, I-I mean women." " Women don't like me." " That's ridiculous." "No, I'm serious." "I grew up with 3 brothers." "I don't know how to talk to women." "All that..." ""oh, my god." "He's so cute." "I like your earrings."" "I-I'm not good at that stuff." "These girls like you... or at least they will after this weekend." "I'll make sure of it." "I have something for you." "A key to my place." "Okay, thanks." "Brian, why can't we figure this out?" "Whose place we're moving into..." "You know why." "I-I think I do, but-but I want to hear what you think." "Neither one of us wants to give up our place... give up the security of it." "Because what if it doesn't work out?" "What if we break up and... and then we gave up our home for... nothing?" "When you put it like that, it's a wonder anyone ever gets together." "I can't go with you to the mountains this weekend." "Why not?" "You gotta come." "I'm working." " You can study up there." " Not studying." "I'm picking up some extra shifts at the club." "Just 5 or 6 saturdays until I make enough money to pay off Schmitty, and he'll drop the suit." "Do you actually think I'd be okay with this?" "No." "I knew you wouldn't." " 'cause I'll pay Schmitty." " But it's my problem..." "I'm fixing it." "Heather," "Don't miss out on this weekend because of him, please." "We used to go up all the time, all the friends together." "Marjorie, too?" "Yeah." "She used to go up." "Is she gonna be there?" "No, of course not." "And even if she were, I'd still want you to go." "Adam, I can't make it through a birthday party." "I'm not ready to go on vacation with her." "Yeah, okay." "Well, don't come." "Maybe it's better if we.... have some time apart." " Adam..." " I have to pack." "Marjorie." "Hi." "I was hoping we could talk." "About what?" "About Adam." "This is amazing." "There's a key around here somewhere." "I wish we were by ourselves this weekend." "Then we could do it in every room of the house." "We can still do that." "No, we're not gonna be that couple." " What couple?" " The sex couple... the ones that are always sneaking off to do it or talking about doing it or doing it so loudly everyone can hear them." "Then there's the grabber who takes the best room, and the camp counselor who overschedules everything, and then there's the one that's way too competitive, and the annoying girlfriend who ends up in tears." "I'm sure we can knock off a few rooms before anyone gets here." "Does Adam know?" "About this meeting that we're having?" "No, he's out of town at Brian's cabin." "It's his dad's." "I love that place." "Marjorie, what is your intention exactly towards my husband?" "I don't have any intention." "'Cause Adam and I are married." "We're happy." "So if you came back here to get back together with him" "I did not come back here for Adam." "I came back for myself." " You don't have feelings for him?" " Of course I do." "We have a history." "I was with Adam for 2 years." "You've know him for what now, a month?" "But I never hurt him." "You screwed him enough already." "I'm not gonna let it happen again." "I'm not doing anything." "It is what it is." "If Adam has feelings for me, you can't change that." " You can't control him,anymore than I can." " I'm his wife." "Look at the lake!" "Girls?" "Please don't jump on the couch." "Come on, Larissa." "Let's go look upstairs." "Hey, everybody." "Hey, what's up, buddy?" " Where's Heather?" " She couldn't make it, honey." "And how will he know if he can be ready to do the surgery in a week?" "Doesn't he have to get to know her and do tests on her?" "Ok, would you please call me after you talk to him?" "Thanks, honey." "Bye." "Who was that?" "Actually, it was... it was Marjorie." "How are you holding up with Carrie?" "I'm okay." "Thanks." "Talking to Marjorie really calms me down, you know?" "She's just so clear and... smart." "It is nice having a doctor around." "This one time, I thought I had appendicitis, and it turned out to be really bad gas." "It was, like, this shooting pain... anyway, this other time..." "like, I had this burning sensation every time I..." "Yeah." "Speaking of that... did you bring the sausage?" "ok, everybody, listen up." "First activity of the day is gonna be fishing." "Okay, van leaves in 30 minutes, and of course, novices are welcome." "What's a novice?" "A novice is someone who's never gone fishing before." " You wanna go fishing with your dad?" " I'm scared." "Why are you scared?" "'Cause I don't wanna turn out like Mr. Jeremy Fisher." "Who's Jeremy Fisher?" "he's a salamander who most gets eaten by a trout." "My people!" "Hey!" " Where you guys been?" " Yeah, you're late." "we got pulled over." "Are you kidding me?" "Old lead foot?" "What, for speeding?" "Not really." "It was more like for... for weaving." "No, it was more of a bob than a weave, actually." "Jimmy gettin' a little somethin'-somethin' on the 215." "What's a "somethin'-somethin'"?" "It's nothin'-nothin'." "Sex couple" "There's a lot of memories in this house." "Yeah." "Did you ask me to marry you on the deck or down by the lake?" "I think it was down by the lake." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "You remember?" "I was going back and forth about whether or not I should ask you up here." "And then right before we left, I pulled you down there," "I asked you." "Everybody was waiting in their cars, knowing what I was doing." "Yeah." "So... is that what you're doing now about the surgery, just kind of going back and forth?" "Yeah, sort of." "Let's talk about it." "Kind of going fishing." "Dave, we came up her to discuss this." "It's saturday." "We have till monday, right?" " I just need some time to think." " You have had 24 hours to think." "Why do you rush me, deen?" "I mean, you're always, you just push and push, and it's like you're always rushing me." "I just--why put it off, you know?" "I'm not putting it off." "Ok, this is my process." "This is what I do." "Ok, your process doesn't really mesh with my process." " Really, Deen?" " Yeah." "You think?" "I just didn't come up here to make sandwiches and sit on the beach." "I came up here to make a decision with you, and I wanna make it now, not tomorrow, not on the car ride home!" "I promise you we're gonna make a decision this weekend, Deena!" "Who's ready to have some fun?" "I can't believe she took the best room." "I can." "She didn't bring anything, not a bottle of wine, not even a packet of microwave popcorn." " Brian brought stuff." " Of course he did." "'cause he's nice." "He's thoughtful." "She just knows a good thing when she sees it." "Hey, guys." "What are you doing while we go fishing?" "We thought we'd do some hunting and gathering." "Nuts, berries, maybe sit by the lake." "Would you ask Bridget to join you?" "She's got this crazy idea you guys don't like her." " What?" " No, that's nutty." "I will totally invite her." "I love that girl." "All right." "Thanks." "You bet!" "That girl must die." "Mommy, why don't you exercise?" "That's 'cause mommy's on vacation." "Give me." " Hey, Bri." " Yeah?" "She this flexible in bed?" "Give me those." "God, she is gorgeous." "Is she really mine?" "Unfortunately." "Now pass the binoculars." "Yeah, but I can't move into her apartment." "Here we go." "If I move into her place, it's over." "I will cease to be Brian." "We'll have our picture on some bus bench together," ""your westside real estate professionals," you know?" "And I'll come home from work with the potpourri and the white wine and the loofah exfoliating scrubbers." "You might as well put a dress on me and call me lola." "It's nice." "It's great, a woman's touch." "Says the man who's been sleeping on my couch for 10 weeks." "How can you defend the joys of couplehood?" "You and Deena are getting a divorce, and you your wife isn't even here." "You're right, Bri." "We suck." "I'm not here alone by choice." "I wanted to be with her." "Could've stayed home." "No, I wanted to come up here." "I've got some stuff to figure out." "Yeah, we all do." "I got the moving-in thing." "Dave's got the surgery." "Me and Ivy gotta decide whether to get a cat or a dog." "Dog!" "Definitely." "I don't know what the woman's problem is." " Dude, you're so getting a cat." " I am not." "I'm king of my household." "I'm getting a dog." ""Mr. Jeremy Fisher surely would have been eaten," ""if not for his yellow mackintosh," ""which the fish found distasteful and, hence, spit him out."" "If you like this, you'd love "Jaws."" "What's "Jaws"?" "It's about a big shark that likes to eat little girls on vacation." "Do not tell her about "Jaws."" "I am gonna attack Kamchatka." "the water pressure is fantastic here." "Here I am, reporting for duty." "A cat's so much easier to take care of if you go out of town." "And cats are way smarter." "What are you doing?" "I thought I was on the chart for dinner." "No, Bridget." "I think Ivy and I have it all under control." "Yeah." "I mean, you can... help the guys with the dishes after." "There you go." "Okay. good idea." "Deena votes cat." "So?" "All the guys vote dog." "ok, Bridget." "Bridget... which is the better pet, a cat or a dog?" "A dog." "I-I-I'm sorry." "It's just my honest opinion." " I'm kind of a dog person." " That's cool." "Hello." "Hi, Marjorie." "Yeah, I'm sorry." "I didn't... recognize your voice." "Yeah, no, it's beautiful." "It's great-- the lake, and we've got fires and games." "You talk to Deena so much, you might as well be here." "I know." "I know." "Here she is." "Hi." "Yeah." "Carrie, no, she's doing great." "Yeah, she's..." "Honey, listen, let me call you back, ok?" "You see that?" "There's nothing to be afraid of, 'cause the fish are really little, and you are really big, much bigger than Mr. Jeremy Fisher." "Yeah." "Push that button down and give it a flick of your wrist right..." "Now you're a natural, my sweet." "Look, you're fishing." "You're really, really fishing." "Yeah, it's easy." "Now all I need is a fly." "No, a worm." "Worms are slimy." "How you doing?" "Dude, the knife is faced the wrong way." "It is not turned the wrong way." "We've been having this argument since we were 10 years old and our moms made us set the table." "Do you want some wine?" "No white for Adam, all right?" "He's red only." "Why?" "Does it give him a headache?" "Yeah." "Blinding headaches." "No, like, "I've got a tumor" headaches." "No we were up here one time." "We got this 2-buck chuck." "We had to take him to the hospital 'cause he thought he was having an aneurysm." "You remember that?" "It was snowing, and we didn't have chains." "Oh, right, and he kept saying, "I see spots."" "I was!" "I was seeing white spots." "It was snowing!" "Thank God you started dating a doctor after that." " You guys ready to eat?" " Yeah." "Ready to eat." "You guys okay?" "Yeah." "It's the Carrie thing?" "It's just a little difficult right now." "Yeah, come here." "Come here." "You know what?" "You're gonna make the right decision." "'Cause you're great parents." "I only wish you were my parents." "you could be my dad." "Yeah, you just want me to tuck you in again." "Of course I do." "Oh, boy, every time in the cabin..." "What year was this?" "1986 or something?" "Come on, Bridget." "Let's go dance." "No, no, come on." " This is white folks' music!" " So what?" "Next y'all are gonna be playing Bruce Springsteen..." "Flock of seagulls." "Come on, deen." "You played this record nonstop for 4 months." "I don't really feel like it." "That's why you need it." "Come on." "Are we expecting someone?" "A mysterious visitor." "Every good weekend needs that." "Maybe Nic decided to show up." "Look." "Marjorie's here." "Did you mean it when you said that I should come?" "On the phone?" "I didn't actually think you'd do it." "So maybe this is a mistake." "No." "I didn't..." "No." "Heather came to see me." "What?" "What for?" "She told me to stay away from you, basically." "Oh, God." "She married you." "I didn't." "It's her prerogative." "But when we talked on the phone, I just..." "I wanted to be here." "I wanted to be up here with everyone." "Do I have to give that up?" "I hope not." "Well, that's what I decided." "I'm not gonna stay away from you unless you to tell me to stay away." "So you want me to stay away?" "No." "No, I don't." "I mean, besides, it's weird up here without you." "Everything reminds me of you." "I've been thinking about you, too." "Yeah?" "We're playing the name game." "Yeah, you wanna be my partner?" "It's either you or Larissa." "That's good." "You guys are intellectual equals." "That's funny." " russian leader splotch." " Gorbachev." "Mikhail Gorbachev." " Unibrow." " Frida kahlo." " Baseball player who..." " Roberto Clemente!" " "Margaritaville."" " Jimmy Buffett." " She was in "Planet of the apes."" " I don't know." " My best friend from high school..." " Kim!" "Yeah." "And--and your favorite shade of green." "Hunter..." "Kim hunter!" "And... you're not gonna get this one." "No, look." "I wrote it to stump other people, and now it's come back to bite me in the ass." "Just try me." "Do it." "Okay, it's, it's the guy who sings "the piÑa colada song."" ""The piÑa colada song."" "It's..." "At least 3 people have to know it." "No, I know it!" "I know it." "Ok, you and Bridget will be really happy with your dog and your crappy music taste." "Woman, focus on me." "Every time we've been at a beach bar, playing in the background, every time..." "Rupert Holmes?" " I love you so much!" " Oh, my God!" "I love you, too!" "Ok, what's the score?" "Dave and Deena are winning with... 62" "And, wait, check this out." "You guys are bringing up the rear with ...wait for it... a 15!" "oh, my God." "Dave and Deena got 15 in one minute." " This is our third try." " Four!" " Focus and concentrate!" " Three!" "Two!" "One!" "Go!" "Ok, wait, this is easy." "Famous woman author that wrote "pride and prejudice."" "Oh, yeah, her." "Early 1800s... england..." " Emily Dickinson." " Emily Dickinson is american." "You know, the one in all the movies." " "Sense and sensibility"?" " Yeah, no, I know, but come on." ""Emma"...." ""Clueless"." "She wrote a novel where she was the old maid, and then Mr. Darcy or whoever it was came in and married her after all." " Harriet Beecher Stowe." " How can you not know this?" "!" "Give me a clue." "Her last name is a city in Texas." " Houston." " No!" "Her first name is like "blank doe."" "No, I know, but come on." "No,ok, "emma," "clueless."" ""Mansfield park"!" "And... time!" "I'm sorry, Bridge." "We're losing." "We're losers." "We suck as a team." "No wonder we can't figure out where to live." "I think it's time for a break, pee break, checking on the kids break, drinks break." "You wanna come with me?" " I'll go get you a drink, all right?" " Yeah." " They sleeping?" " Yeah, like babies." "I don't really know how they can, though, with Bridget screeching "mansfield park."" "What's up with that?" "We're killing." "Yeah, we definitely still got it." "Yeah, we totally got it." "I watched you with the girls today." "You're so good with them-- teaching them how to fish." "Geneva's just like you." "What do you mean?" "The whole process thing, you know?" "She sort of waits and watches... like, hovers, you know?" "Worries about it, and then, if you don't push her, she gets around to it... in her own time." "She does." "And I see those 2 little beauties together," "Geneva and Larissa, and how close they are." "Man..." "I just don't want Carrie to miss out on that." "Because... her dad couldn't make a tough call." "Let's do it." " Really?" " Yeah." "Let's do it." "Let's do it soon, huh?" "Thank you." "You all right?" "Your face seems a little red." "it's just hot in there with the fire." "Yeah." "Actually, I have a little trick for that." " You know why this rocks?" " Why?" "'Cause the vein in your wrist is a major blood vessel." " Is that right?" " Yeah." "What are we doing?" "I don't know." "Let's get "celebrity" going again." "Come on." "We'll talk." "We can talk later." "I don't care." "Cats have attitude." "I mean... it's called cat... what?" " Hey." " Hey." "Ok, what are doing out here again?" "I told them I wanted to go have a cigarette." " Yeah, but you don't smoke." " They don't know that." "You lied to me!" "I never lied to you!" "This is all my fault." "No, it isn't." "Yeah, it is." "Ok?" "Heather came to see me." "She told me to stay away from Adam." "It made me mad." "Marjorie, he asked her to come here." "He invited her, and she said no." "we're old friends." "That's what this weekend is about." "You have every right to be here." "You know what?" "I have cigarettes." "I'll go get them." "Gotta give 'em their space." "Give 'em their space." "You know what I don't understand?" "How come we're not inside by the fire, and Heather and Adam aren't out here fighting?" "How can you do this to me?" "If you didn't have that stupid fight with Marjorie, she wouldn't have come up in the first place!" "Why can't you see that she is after you?" "She's playing a game, Adam... with you and with me." "Let's just..." "Let's just cool down, all right?" "Let's just go for a walk or something." "Come on." "Let's" "I want you to leave... with me right now." "I don't wanna leave." "You know how important this weekend is to me." "These people are my family." "This is who I am." "You can't ask me to walk away from my friends." "I'm only asking you to walk away from one friend." "Her." "I'm not sure I can do that." "I think she's-- I think she's gonna leave." "Really?" "You know what?" "Maybe it's for the best." "Yeah, she should've called first." "So it's her fault now?" "I didn't say that." "God, what is wrong with you people?" "You're like some high school clique or something." "God forbid someone new comes into the group and you treat them like a normal person." "I'm new." "Ok." "So maybe it's just me you don't like." "Wait." "Bridget..." "I say dump his ass... and the rest of 'em, too." " "Mansfield park"!" " Shut up." "Shut up." "She's right." "You never gave her a chance." "Don't listen to anything she said." "That girl left you at the altar." "I never would've done that to you." "You have a choice to make." "Her or me." "I guess I filled all my own prophecies, huh?" "I was way too competitive, I took the best bedroom and now I'm the-- the crying girlfriend." "Heather's crying, too." " What did they say about me out there?" " They didn't say anything." "I told them to shut up." "You did?" "You're surprised?" "They're your people, Brian." "You guys are really close." "I can see that." "But they are not rooting for us." "We're not even rooting for us." "We can't even figure out who's gonna give up their apartment." "We are not moving in together." "Honey, yes, we are." "They'll come around." "And even if they don't..." "I don't care." "I'always comparing myself to them, to-- to what they have, and you know what?" "What we have is pretty fantastic." "You just called me "honey"." "That's the first time you've ever done that." "Is it?" "I really think I love you." "I-I love you, Brian." "I love you, too." "Jane austen." "I just didn't think it would come to this." "I knew it would happen all along." "People need to be honest." "Yeah, you can't say what you think the other one wants to hear." "You have to say what you want." "I don't know what goes on between you two, but I think this is easier to figure out than you're making it." "Marjorie's right." "Ivy, if you want a cat, you should have a cat." "Can we go to bed now?" "How you doing?" "I don't know." "It's like ever since that day that Marjorie didn't show up for the wedding, it's like I've been living in this dream, and everything I've done since then doesn't count." "And I've been criticizing you for not committing... but I haven't really committed to Heather." "I haven't really given her a chance." " Last night, Marjorie and I..." " I know." "I saw her come out of your room." "Do people think I'm an ass?" "Do they think that I'm some sort of self-entitled jerk who doesn't think about the consequences?" "Because I do." "I..." "I think about it." "I..." "I'm just confused." "What do you think I should do?" "I can't tell you." "'Cause you know... that's why we're friend." "You know what's right for you when you do it." "You don't care if it looks right to other people or if it's safe." "That's what you need to do now." "And you know what?" "Everyone will survive." "Just do what you do." "Good morning." " Good morning." " What are you doing?" "Just making some sandwiches for everyone for the road." "I was gonna do that." "Yeah, I know, but you seem like you're pretty busy with the kids and Carrie and everything, so..." "Bridget, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry for the way I behaved towards you this weekend." "We are overprotective of Brian." "It's just he's very, very special to us, you know?" "And he's always around, and I think we feel jealous to see him... loving someone else." "I barely know the guy, so I have no excuse at all, except that you're the hottest girl here, and my husband's the hottest guy, so..." "Yeah, I don't think your husband's the hottest guy here." " You don't?" " No." "Well, then, honey, let's be best friends." "Who do you think is the hottest guy?" "Can I be totally honest?" "Absolutely." "Dave." "Oh, my God!" "He's totally hot!" "I cannot wait to tell him you said that." "Oh, my God." "I'm having a girly conversation!" "Yes, you are, and I love your earrings." " I love your earrings." " Thank you." "You know, Marjorie, last night was fantastic." "It felt so familiar." "But?" "It's too late... for us." "I love you." "and part of me will always love you." "But I can't erase the past." "and I don't want to start from there." "I want to start fresh." "Is there something you want to say?" "I know that we could be happy." "I got scared, and I made a mistake." "You know," "I believe that there isn't just one person out there to be happy with." "You will find someone else." "Maybe." "Hi." "So Dave gave is okay to do the surgery." "I'm happy for you." "It's the right decision." "You've been so great." "You can do this without me, you know." "Yeah, I know." "I just don't want to." "You can." "You can call me whenever you want." "I just need to go on my own for a while." "I understand." "It's okay." "Come on, guys." "Let's go." "Group photo!" "Say good-bye to the lake house." "Bye lake house." "Group picture!" "Say, "lake house."" "Lake house!" "I'm home." "How was it?" "It was good." "Heather... you don't have to say it." "I made a mistake." "I needed someone... and you were there." "You helped me." "You helped me, too." "Do you think it ever could have worked?" "I don't know." "I love you." "I do." "But it's just not right." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, too." "I think I'm just gonna go tonight." "You don't have to." "I want to." "What the hell?" "That's my computer." "excuse me." "Brad!" "What the hell's going on?" "Where have you two been?" "I've e-mailed you, like, 40 times." "We thought you were just pestering us about escrows." "Wrong" "On friday, the I.R.S. came down and issued an arrest warrant for your father." "Yeah, it seems dear old dad absconded with compagny funds and just fled the country." " It's gone." " What's gone?" "Everything jobs, commissions, all gone."
