"Previously on "What about Brian"..." "In a perfect world, we'd be together." " So what's your problem?" " You had an affair with my father." "Why is it such a big deal that I'm 20 years old and live with my parents?" "I should be the one freaking out that you're divorced with three kids." "She's so beautiful." "That's what we'll call her..." "Bella." "I don't like people looking at my wife." "I quit." "Tonight's my last night." "We're in this forever." "Last hole, ladies." "This one's for all the marbles." "I gotta tell ya, when Brian and I win a dinner bet, we really likes to chow down." "Chow down all you want." "You gon' be paying for it." "All right, Brian." "You're up." "So is it..." "You know, weird, dating somebody who's dated your dad?" "You waited 18 holes to use that one on me?" "You think you can rattle me with that?" "I was just wondering if you've had the "ex" talk-- you know, how many she's been with, who she's been with, like your dad." "'Cause that would be awkward, don't you think, Jimmy?" "I think it had to be awkward." "Yeah, it's gotta be awkward." "I have nerves of steel." " I've done my work, Brian." " He's got nerves..." "But not of steel." "You're so close." "Keep that chin up." " Guess he didn't have the talk." " Guess not." "We don't need the talk, Jimmy." "Bridget and I are fine." "Just putt." "Okay, big Jim, taking some swings." "So obviously, you and Ivy have had the talk." "What, are you kidding me?" "Had it othe first date." "So how many she been with since then?" "Damn." "That's rough, Jim." "You got all wobbly." "You got me on your team." "All right, let me hear it." "I'm seeing a 20 year old." "I could be her daddy." "She lives with her parents." "Pretty much covers it." "I mean, as long as you know she really is 20." "She could be lying." "Jailbait." "You know what?" "You should ask her for her I.D. on the next date." "Yeah, whatever." "All right, boys." "Thanks, pal." "You're a real good buddy." "Watch and observe..." " as Jimmy and I win the bet." " Be the ball, baby." " You're married to a stripper." " Out of bounds." "You ask her how many she's been with yet?" "I adhere to the strict policy of "don't ask, don't tell."" "and it seems to be working out..." "Just fine." "That's my boy!" "That's..." "I'm telling you ladies this right now." "We're not buying champagne this time." "We'll see about that." "Good morning." " These were in my car." " We were looking for those." "Thank you." "Girls, your daddy's here to take you to school." "So..." "What's been going on?" "We haven't had a chance to really talk lately." "Everything's good." "I been thinking about selling some of my cupcakes at more of the farmers' markets in the afternoons, but I think I need a little extra help with the girls." "You know what?" "K.C. Gaming just started their day care program." "Maybe we could use that." "Yeah, that could work." "I mean, you should know that" "Roxanne-- sandwich girl would--would be there." "Seems like nobody was buying her sandwiches except for me, so I got her the job." "Oh, right." "I thought she was actually in... day care." "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "There they are." "My sweet pumpkins." "Pumpkin one and pumpkin two." "So what are you doing today?" "I'm going over to Nicole's so that I can see Bella..." "And I'm going to give her some of the baby stuff that we don't use anymore." "Make sure you charge her for it." "There you go." "All right." "Jenny's mom is taking you and Jenny to ballet after school." "And am I going to Pam's house after school?" "Yes, you are going to Pam's house after school." "Let's get into that van." "Come on." "We're gonna be late." "In the car." " So we pretty much got this down, huh?" " Yeah, we do." "Baby, I'm so sorry." "Come on." "So are we gonna spend the night at your place or mine tonight?" "I vote mine." "It's easier and closer to work." "Yeah, easier for you, maybe." "All your stuff is there." "I have to pack an overnight bag again." "So how about tomorrow night?" "I'm going out with the guys tomorrow night." "When do I get to go out with you and your friends?" "What if..." "I set up something with Adam and Heather?" "You know, like a double date." "That sounds fun." "Very "brady bunch."" "So you like "the brady bunch"?" "What, I--there's still a lot I don't know about you, like how old are you, how long you've lived in L.A., how many guys you slept with, if you like "the brady bunch."" "Okay, that was the single worst segueway I've ever heard." "I know." "I'm sorry." "36." "You've had sex with 36 different guys?" "That's my age, Brian." "Look, I-I don't care how many guys you've slept with." "You know, it's the relationship that counts." "That's the history we should talk about, you know?" "The two or three different guys who really meant something." "And you want to do this now?" "Sure." "Why not?" "We have time to kill." "Let's see." "There's--there's Gary." "He was my college boyfriend who was actual my fiance until it kinda fell apart, and, then there was Tom, who, actually, I thought was a perfect guy until he told me that he lost his virginity to his second cousin." "Yeah, pretty gross." "And then, well, then there was Charlie, who my parents adored, which made me not adore him." "And then who was after Charlie?" "Nick!" "Nick is after Charlie." "Wait." "She's sleeping." "Okay, they're good." "Those are sneakers, 'cause I never knew how loud shoes were." "whoever invented hardwood floors obviously never had kids." "Sweetie, you don't have to whisper." "The baby's room's all the way in the..." "She doesn't like the nursery." "Every time I put her in there, she starts crying." "I think it's the stuffed animals." "They scare her." "Why don't you just take the stuffed animals out?" "Well, I don't know." "She--she loves it in here." "I always come in here and breast-feed her, and she always falls asleep." "I just kinda roll over, and--and she's-- look, sleeping so beautifully-- and then I sleep on the couch, and..." "I think she likes the sound of the clock." "Here's an idea." "Just a thought." "Maybe--did you ever think of moving the clock?" "I've gone crazy, haven't I?" "I'm crazy." "No, honey, you're not crazy." "You don't know what it's like to do this all alone." "Okay, honey, I'm just gonna show you... a little something... that worked for me... trust me." "Grab the bassinet, sweetie." "Get it." "Go on." "Just a little close to the bed." "Okay, now watch." "Do it just... like... that." "And that is called the double arm transfer." "Dave taught me that one." "A husband is the most underrated person on earth." "Even if he's just there on the bed grunting, at least there's someone there to tell you it's all gonna be okay at 3:00 A.M." "And then after Josh, I kinda threw myself into my work until, of course, I met, well, you know, but he didn't count." "We should get out front." "People are gonna be here any minute." "Not so fast." "It's your turn." "We don't have time." "I didn't know yours was gonna take 2 hours." "You're hilarious." "Just talk fast." "There was, car girl, traffic school girl, the lisas and the loud talker." "Those aren't even real names." "I want stories." "I gave you stories." "No, there--there-- there are are no stories." "We--we dated." "We broke up." "End of story." "Who was the last girl you kissed?" "Car girl, but that was part of a bet." "I'm beginning to think you have a little bit of a gambling problem." "Come on." "Who was the last girl that you kissed by choice?" "I don't know." "I guess," "Marjorie?" " And does Marjorie have a nickname?" " Nope." "Just Marjorie." "You know, we didn't really actually date.It was more of a" "Sorry." "Are we early?" "No, come on in." "You guys will take cash for this place, right?" "Yeah, absolutely." "I got you a present." "Sorry, it's not wrapped, but..." "They're nipple protectors." "I--they saved my life, so..." "Thanks, I think." "I got you a present, too." "A magazine." "They run a column." "You know, the hottest... flower shops in L.A., the hottest pancakes in L.A...." "Yeah." "I've read that column." "It's totally lame." "It's never right." "Not next month when they're gonna say the hottest cupcake in L.A... the hottest cupcake?" "you didn't." "I called them." "I let them put one of my bands on their cover last year, and it was the hottest-selling issue they ever had, so they owe me, so... right here, in two nights, in this very house," "they are gonna come and shoot a layout with the hottest cupcake in L.A." "Deena Greco." "I can't do that." "Yes, you can." "You, my friend, are gonna be the most perfect, most photogenic cupcake in all of L.A." "I guess I'm gonna have to get someone to watch the girls so I can bake, but..." " Thanks, Nic." " Watch the boobs." "I can't believe I agreed to these pillows." "I mean," " could they be more flowery?" " They're just pillows." "We can always take them back if you don't like them." "I just wanna see what they look like in the bedroom." "As long as they're on your side of the bed." "I didn't complain when you bought that gigantic... television." "Please tell me I'm not seeing what I'm not seeing." "You're seeing it." "It's gone." "I'll go see if anything else is missing." "Who steals a tv and nothing else?" "Some of my clothes are missing... and my favorite pair of heels" "What, are we robbed by a pervert?" "What's this?" "What?" "It's a dollar bill shaped like a "S."" " So?" " So I think I know who did this." "And you think it was this guy Schmitty?" "That's what we called him at the club." "I don't know his real name." "I just know he was very upset when he found out I was quitting." "And it's all based on this dollar bill you found on the floor?" "I know it sounds crazy, but that's how he used to tip me at the club." "He would fold up the dollar into a "s" before he put it in my" "Heather." "We get it." " "s" was for Schmitty." " Actually" ""s" was for Summer." " What's Summer?" " My dancer name." "Can we talk about my tv?" "Your tv's probably long gone by now." "We'll talk to this schmitty guy when we get around to it, but I doubt it'll do any good." "You can file a report with the serial number on the tv, in case it turns up, but they usually rub those off." "So that's it?" "That's--that's all I can do?" "What kind of tv was it?" "It was a 57-inch high-def L.C.D. on a swivel." " Those are pretty sweet." " Tell me about it." "I'll let you know if anything turns up, but don't hold your breath." "Good night." "so this... this Schmitty was your boyfriend?" "Is that what this is?" "He just... really liked me, and he freaked out when I left." " The girls said he was asking where I went." " Why?" "Did you lead him on?" "Did you make him think you were gonna sleep with him?" "Of course I did." "That was my job." "The guy paid for a lot of lap dances, but it wasn't a big deal." "It's not a big deal?" "Some psychopath is out there stalking you, and he stole my tv and it's not a big deal?" " I think it's a big deal now." " The police will handle it." "Why don't you just give 'em a list of all your exes before my couches start to disappear?" "He was not my ex." "This place is great!" "Yeah, pretty cool, huh?" " And this is Carrie ?" " Yeah, this is carrie." " She's adorable." "They're all adorable." " Yeah, she's a sweetheart." "Thank you so much for helping me get this job." "Are you kidding me?" "Of course." "But I never knew I'd be meeting your kids so soon." "This is a big step for us." "I'm kidding, silly." "I knew that you were kidding." "I got it from here." "You want to go over and say hi to Roxanne?" "Here's her bag." "All right, girls." "I'll see you soon." " Bye, daddy." " Bye, dad." " Good-bye." "God." "What did you do?" "I need you to get rid of them, okay?" "Bri, I-I--just give them to charity or something." "I gave you this one." "She doesn't like them." "How do you know?" "Okay, I don't like them." "They cause allergies, and-- and they're scary." "Okay." "I'll pack them in plastic and put them in the garage, but someday Bella's gonna want them." "She's so beautiful." "She shouldn't wake up for a couple of hours, but if she does, just give her your finger to suck on until I get back, okay?" "But makeure you wash your hands really well with hot water, okay?" "What about a pacifier?" "No pacies." "I'm trying to avoid them." "They're really bad for the teeth." "She doesn't have any teeth." "So I guess you don't want this." "No." "Just put that with the animals." "Okay, I'm gonna go to the market." "Wait." "Are you--are you sure?" "'Cause I can go for you." "Are you're kidding?" "I haven't seen the outside world in ten days." "Nic, is it all right if Bridget and I stop by tomorrow?" "I really..." "I-I want you to meet her." "Sounds like you guys are getting pretty serious." "Pretty serious, yeah." "Yeah, we even had the "exes" talk." " Including dad?" " We sort of skipped over that." "It's good to see you happy." "Okay, I won't be long." "Are you gonna change first?" " What's wrong with this?" " Nothing." "I just want to make sure you weren't gonna change, because you look fine." "How old?" "30..." "Something." " The baby?" " Oh no." "Three and a half weeks." "No wonder you look like a tornado hit you." "It's nap time." "Look at uncle Brian." "He's brazen." "See this?" "Okay, lay down, huh?" "Okay, come on, Bella." "Please, Bella, come on." "Okay." "Pinkie time." "No?" "Okay." "Don't tell your mom." "You keep that in your sock drawer." "'cause that's where uncle Brian used to keep his contraband items." "Ok, girls, come on, show mommy what you got." "It's sushi!" "That is..." "sushi." "It was Roxanne's idea." "You know, the girl from daddy's work?" "That was really nice of her." "And Roxanne gave us some more stuff So we can make some for you, too." "Sounds like you guys really liked her." "We loved her." "She's so nice." "And so pretty." "And she does this funny thing" "Okay, so why don't you guys run on in there and make mommy some sushi?" "You better wipe that smirk off your face." "What smirk?" "That wasn't a smirk." "I was grimacing..." "angrily." "I don't know what your problem is." "She's their day care provider, you know?" " You don't have to be jealous." " Trust me, I'm not jealous." "I do know my girls love me more than your new girlfriend." "She's not my girlfriend." "We've been out a couple of times." "Listen, you dont have to make me feel better, all right?" "I have nothing to prove." "I know that my girls spend all day with roxanne." "They want" "It's okay, honey." "It's okay." "It's all right." "Mommy, help get her." "Are you okay, sweetheart?" "You all right, honey?" "Mommy, can we please have Roxanne babysit every night?" "No." "I still don't get why she's here." "You think I invited her?" "This restaurant was my idea." "I've been wanting to try a new steak place for a while." "Get over it." "Yeah, well, your rib eye's coming on a separate check." "Fine with me." "Can we please get back to the tv?" "Tv." "What's up?" "It's gone?" "Yeah, history." "And you're just letting this guy get away with it?" "He's clearly her ex-boyfriend." "He's not her ex-boyfriend, okay?" " He's just a-a former" " Former customer," "I know, I know, but, see, regular strip club customers don't hunt down ex-strippers and steal their stuff." "At least, I don't think they do." "Yeah, maybe you ought to find this schmitty and show him who's boss." "You know what I'm saying?" "I mean, give him a little of the Hillman hell." ""Hillman hell"?" "I'm trying man." "Look at what I have to work with." "And speaking of exes, you and Bridget have that talk, hmm?" "We did, and it went well." "Long, but well." "So you told her about Marjorie?" "Once again, I still don't know why she's here." "Why would he say anything about..." "Why would he say anything about Marjorie?" "I mean, she's my ex, not his." "If you were dating Brian, wouldn't you want to know about Marjorie?" "If I were dating Brian, I would be thrilled, because then, I'd still have my tv." "You know there's a reason you didn't tell Bridget." "This is ice cold." "Baby, No." " Come on." "Please?" " Look, I am a member of the service industry." "This is for their own good." "She always does this." "They're gonna spit in our food now." "Don't order dessert." "Where are you going?" "I left my wallet in my car." "I'll be right back." "Nice." "Sticking Dave with the check." "What's up with Dave and the check?" " Champagne, please?" " Champagne." "What are you trying to run out on the check?" "You scared the crap out of me." " What's the matter with you?" " Nothing." "Nothing." "I'm fine." "But I think I just saw Marjorie." "It was Marjorie." "She was walking over there, across the street." "I saw her." "That makes perfect sense 'cause Marjorie's in Idaho." " Minnesota." " Whatever." "Same thing." "Point is, whoever you think you saw wasn't her." "It looked exactly like her." "Yes, that is because you are seeing through guilty eyes." "You know you should have told Bridget, and you didn't, and now it's eating you up, and you're imagining things." "Don't you think you would know if Marjorie was here?" "Yeah, maybe we shouldn't tell the guys about this just yet, ok" "Maybe you should pay for my rib eye." "It's all right." "It's okay." "Hi?" "Hi." "There's my girl." "Hi, you must be Dave..." "Mrs. Greco." " Yes, and you must be Roxanne." " Yeah." "It's so nice to meet you." " Your kids are great." " Thank you." "I know." "Carrie, come to mommy." "Come say hi, baby." "How's she been doing?" "She's been--she's been teething." "She's good." "I gave her some graham crackers." "She likes the way it feels on her gums." "I know." "There are actually graham crackers right in this bag." "Surprisingly, I do know what my children like." "I'm sorry." "I'm not trying to tell you how to raise your daughter, Mrs. Greco." "Okay, that's good." "That's good." "That's here you go." "Hey, just checking on my girl." "All right." "This is awkward." "What are you doing here?" "On your way to the oscars?" "Yeah, funny." "No, I have that photo shoot." "Remember?" "And I wanted to bring Carrie her teething ring." "Can we talk for a sec?" "Alone?" "Excuse me." "What are you doing?" "I mean, really--really, are you this insecure?" "What's the big deal?" "This isn't a competition, deen." "You're the mother." "Carrie loves you more than anybody else, okay?" "I know." "So you don't have to coming here looking hot and making her feel like a slob." "For the record, thank you, and that's not what I was trying to do, but, I really gotta get going now, so," " bye-bye, Dave." " Okay, bye-bye." "All right, so I called the strip club, right?" "Pretending I was a cop." "I got his name." "I got a credit card." "I ran it through the system." "I got his address." "It was easy." " So you're in, right?" " No, I am not in." "What?" "Why not?" "It was your idea in the first place." "You don't know anything about this Schmitty." "What, are we just gonna walk in and ask for the tv back?" "He could have a gun for all you know." "Jimmy don't do guns." "He doesn't have a gun." "Besides, Heather says he's harmless." "So you told her what you're doing?" "What, are you crazy?" "She'd kill me if she found out." "Come on, Jimmy." "I need you." "If he's so harmless, what do you need me for?" "Because you're my wingman, dude." "It's like "top gun." We're like Maverick and Goose." "Which one am I?" "You're Goose." "Yeah, Goose." "Didn't Goose die?" "That's big, but I-I mean she'd-- she'll grow into it." "Thanks." "Yeah, I-I-I don't really do babies." "You know, that used to be my line." "I wonder where Brian is." "I don't know." "He's supposed to be here." "Sit, sit, really." "It doesn't matter." "I mean, I'm just... glad to finally get a chance to meet you." "Yeah, me, too." "So is this your version of videotaping the baby?" "no, no." "They're here for-- to photograph Deena's cupcakes." " These are beautiful." " Could you just--Sorry." " They're just for the photographs." " Yeah, that's fine." "You know, Brian was here earlier, and I have to say," "I have you to blame for that perma grin on his face." "That's sweet." "I mean, he's really excited about Bella." "I think it's a little bit more than Bella." "Yeah, I mean, things seem to be going really well for you two, and I'm so happy because... boy, after that Marjorie fiasco, I was really worried that he would never find anyone that he even cared for again, you know?" ""Marjorie fiasco"?" "What Marjorie fiasco?" "Want a cupcake?" "Hey, you guys." "How's it going?" "Good." "It was good." "I need to talk to you about Carrie." "Yeah." "What's up?" "I don't think she can hear me, Dave." "I think there's something wrong with Carrie." "What?" "Right, like that." "Awesome." "Beautiful." "Look at you, so sweet." "God, you are hot." "Hot stuff." "Nice." "Right there." "Hold it." "Beautiful." "You know, I know my daughter likes graham crackers." "I don't need to be told that by her." "It's just totally infuriating." "You have to expect that Dave's gonna meet and date other people." "He's gonna try to move on." "Okay, he can move on all he wants." "He just can't shove his new girlfriend down my kids' throat." "No, don't" "What-- oh, I'm sorry." "Damn it, it's Dave." "We're gonna need another cupcake." "Speak of the devil." "Yes." "Hello, Dave." "I cannot speak to you right now." "I'm sorry." "I'm in the middle of my photo shoot and..." "No." "Yeah." "I-I-I'll be right there,okay." "What's wrong?" "I don't know, honey, but I have to go." "Deena, no, you can't-- you can't leave." "Nic, it's Carrie, okay?" "Please, just, fill in for me?" "I'll..." "I'll call you later, okay?" "I'm sorry I didn't make it to Nicole's." "The buyer had a million questions about the house." "Where's your bag?" "It's at home." "I'm not staying here tonht." "Why not?" "I'm sorry you didn't make it to Nicole's either." "We had a nice talk about Marjorie." "I can explain." "Now you can explain?" "What about the other day when we were actually talking about that sort of thing?" "You know, technically, Marjorie isn't my ex." "Don't even start, Brian." "You broke up a wedding for the girl, and you didn't say a word to me about it." "What am I, a placeholder or something?" "You just waiting for her to get back?" "Is that why you didn't say anything to me?" "Of course not." "So if she was to walk through the door right now, what would you do?" "How would I know you don't want her?" "How would you know?" "Thanks for seeing us so late, doctor." "I know this must be stressful, and I'm sorry to tell you, you were right to be concerned." "What is it?" "Carrie is suffering from severe and permanent hearing loss due to irreversible damage to her inner ear, specifically, the cochlea." "So what--what are you saying?" "That our daughter is deaf?" "She does have some residual hearing." "Like how much?" "Can she hear us when we... talk to her?" "No, I'm sorry." "She can't." "What can she hear?" "Well, noal speech occurs up to the 60 decibel range." "Carrie hears at around 90 decibels and above-- mostly loud mechanical sounds." "How is this possible?" "They tested her hearing when she was born." "Probably came on within the last month or so, but we can't be sure." "The only possible cause that you've identified is that she's had several ear infections,but there may never be an explanation" "I just can't believe this." "But you should bring her back tomorrow for more tests, and I'm sure you have a lot of questions." "This is a list of pediatricians in Los Angeles, who work these types of cases with me." "any one of them can answer your questions." "All right." "Let's do this." "I still can't believe I let you talk me into this." " Yeah, I owe you one." " Just one?" "Look, the guy has got no priors, okay?" "I did a criminal records check." "Yeah, that just means he hasn't been caught." "All right, 5303." "This is it." "All right." " Remember, Goose and Maverick." " Goose and maverick." "Are you Schmitty?" "Who the hell are you?" "Hello, Schmitty." "Look, I'm calling the cops if you don't leave right now, all right?" "Go ahead, and you can tell them how you stole my plasma." "So where is it?" "I have no idea what you're talking about." "No?" "No idea." "I hear you got a thing for my wife." "You got an idea about that?" "You're Summer's husband?" "Isn't this your tie?" " You stole my tie?" " It's a pretty nice tie." " What's the matter with you?" "Why didn't Summer come?" "Is that what this is all about?" "You're just trying to get her attention?" "She made promises, okay?" "We had... something, and she said that we were gonna be together." "So sue her." "People make promises." "She was a stripper." "People lie." "People move on." "You don't see me stealing your-- your lounge chair because some girl left me at the altar!" "Tv's not here, man." "I want my tv back, and I know you know where it's at 'cause I've got my tie to prove it." "So unless you want me to call the cops, you better make it happen." "Yeah." "Everybody's asleep." "So I guess I'm gonna get going." "We're gonna get through this." "I mean, it's not gonna be easy, but we're gonna do it." " All right." "Night." " Night." "Dave, how did we miss this, huh?" "I'm the one who gave her the ear infection medication." "Do you think that was it?" "I don't know, deen." "I don't know." "I mean, all of this in and out of the house 'cause we thought it was best for the girls?" "I mean, who are we kidding, huh?" "We weren't paying enough attention." "We're doing the best we can." "You can't beat yourself up about this." "Don't tell me what I can and can't do." "This is my child we're talking about." "She's my child, too, okay?" "I'm just saying that we have to be focused." "We have to stay calm about this." "one of our children can't hear, and neither one of us noticed?" "And you want me to be calm?" "This is just what you do." "This is always what you do." "You just pretend like everything is gonna be fine, and it's not fine." "Dave, it is not fine." "So wait a second." "You're blaming me now?" "You think that I don't know that everything's changed?" "'Cause I do." "Ok, I know." "I know that just because we switch houses and we get the girls off nice and easy for school, that it doesn't mean that everything's fine, Deen." "What do you think?" "You think I like seeing my girls 6 hours a week?" "'Cause I don't." "I hate it." "But you know what?" "You're the one who spends most of the time with them, so if anyone should have noticed, it's you." "Hello!" "Anyone?" "Peace muffin?" "Blueberry-peach-- your favorite." "Thanks." "Where are the girls?" "Maria took 'em to the park." "I'm sorry for all the crap that I said last night." "You know, it's just... it's just this whole thing." "It's okay." "I'm sorry, too." "With Geneva and Larissa, you know, we were there... all the time." "You were home." "I could work at home if I needed to, but with Carrie" "That's not why she's deaf, Dave." "It's no one's fault." "Look, the thing is, I know that we're not together, but we're gonna have to go through this together," "I think we should be on the same side." "I mean, whatever's best for carrie." "Okay." "I wanna have kids." "You will." "Bridget and I got in a fight." "What did you do?" "Well, it was sort of what you did." "You told Bridget about Marjorie." "You said that you had the "exes talk."" "I know, but I didn't really elaborate on Marjorie, and then when Bridget brought it up, I... sort of freaked me out because... because I thought I saw her the other night." " Who?" " Marjorie." " She's in Minnesota." " I know." "I know, but..." "It was so real." "Brian, Marjorie is not here." "Bridget is." "Don't screw up something that's real for something that's not real, something that was never real." "You..." "You made your play." "You held out your hand..." "And she said no." "I get it." "Yeah, so it's okay to move on." "You don't have to keep bashing your head against the wall expecting a different answer, especially when someone so great is standing right next to you saying yes." "Can I just hang out with Bella, please?" "You want to go for a run?" "Yeah, in, like, 20 minutes." "Sure." "See?" "You're getting used to it." "I got it." " Can I help you?" " Yeah" " Is this the Hillman residence?" " Yes, it is." "I got a flatscreen tv for you." "I'll be right back." "Did you order a new flatscreen?" "No, but I did have a talk with Schmitty yesterday." " What?" " Yeah." "How did you even find him?" "What did he say?" "None of that matters, baby." "What matters is he got the message." "He just needed someone to lay down the law, if you know what I'm saying." "So we'll just go through the garage." " Are you Heather Hillman?" " Yeah." "This is for you." "I'm supposed to give this to you personally." "What the hell is this?" " It's a summons." " A what?" "A summon" " He's suing you?" " For $100,000?" "!" "For fraudulent inducement, breach of contract and intentional infliction of emotional distress?" "What does this even mean?" "Can he sue me for this?" "You bring me a muffin" "I give you a cupcake." "Well, at least I paid for mine." "Funny." "so I made doctor's appointments for all the girls." "I want everyone checked out." "Good." "That's a good idea." "Yeah, I just..." "I want to do something about this now, you know?" "I hate just sitting around." "It's just terrible." "Yeah, I know." "I know." "Well, you know what we should do-- is we should figure out which pediatrician we want to call on the list." "See if they can't talk us through this." "Jeez, I know." "Look at this." "I need a doctor to help me pick a doctor." " I can't..." " No kidding." "That can't be right." " This must be an old list." " Let me see." "No, it was printed last week." "Well, look at that." ""Dr. Marjorie Seaver"?" ""Working in santa monica"?" "That can't be right." "I didn't cancel dinner with Adam and Heather." "I still want us to go." "Dave and Deena used to go there all the time." "It's some restaurant right down here by the beach." "And I guess your duffel bag means you think you're spending the night here, too?" "Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Marjorie, but it's not what you think." "What is it then?" "All that stuff that happened, everything I did-- it makes me look like... an idiot, and I didn't want you to think of me as an idiot." " It's a little too late for that." " Yeah, I know, I..." "I was afraid I'd mess things up if I told you the truth." "And instead you messed things up by not telling me the truth." "Pretty much." "But that's over with, and you know everything there is to know, and Marjorie doesn't matter at all, because right now the only thing I care about is you and me." "I guess I better go change." "I'll come help you." " Hi." " Hi" "I can't believe you're here." "It is so good to see you." "Yeah, and what have you been doing?" " I have a lot of questions for you." " I'm sure you do, but first..." "I want to hear about Carrie." " Did you talk to his lawyer?" " Yeah, I left him a message." " What are we gonna do?" " Just relax." "We're gonna make it all go away." "I mean, it's just... a bluff for money, and the guy's got no case, right?" "He's just a customer." "Yeah, he was just a customer." "Did he really give you all that money for lap dances?" "I don't know." "Maybe." "I never should have said anything to you." "I would have noticed the tv was gone." "But I didn't have to tell you that it was him." "You know what?" "Let's just not talk about it anymore, ok?" "Especially at the restaurant." "I don't think Brian and Bridget need to know anything else about Schmitty." "No one needs to know anything else about Schmitty." "So let's just go have a nice, relaxing dinner." "Where are we going anyway?" "Who knows?" "Some place that Brian picked." "These doctors just throw these words at you, and all you can think is, this is my daughter." "This is my daughter they're talking about, and I can't understand anything they're saying." "Deena, everything is gonna be fine." "Okay?" "Carrie's not in any danger right now, and I'm gonna be here to talk you through all of it." "I'm gonna get you all the help you need, and I'm not going anywhere." "Thank you." "I'm just glad that I can help." "So can I start asking questions now?" "You don't have to." "See, I hated Minnesota." "It was cold... and lonely and..." "After I finished my first rotation in the hospital, I put in to move back." "And you didn't contact any of us." "I couldn't." "I had a lot to work through after what happened, and I wasn't ready to see everyone, and I'm still not." "I wasn't sure how everyone would feel about seeing me." "I think it'd be okay." "I really do." "I don't know." "Thank you for meeting me here." "I didn't want the first time we saw each other to be in the doctor's office." "I totally get it." "And if you don't want to see the gang, that's fine with me." "I'll do whatever you want me to do." "Yeah, maybe we could not tell anyone else that I'm back in town just yet." "I didn't have anything to do with this." "Honey, I swear, I..."
