"Dan, listen, you raised $1." "3 million for me when I started out," "And kitty's twice the candidate I was then." "So let's have some steaks." "Let's talk about it." "Uh, no." "Tonight?" "Not tonight." "We're having dinner at mom's." "Oh, I can't get to mom's." "I'm seeing a movie with Roy." "A movie?" "No, check now,and--and I'll hold." " Yeah." " Why?" "Because that's all the two of you seem to be doing lately." "I mean, sarah, don't you think it's a little weird" "That you've been dating this guy for over a month" "And you--you haven't, you know, done any more?" "No." "No, kitty, I don't." "I'm looking for a relationship, not a fling." "I mean, how long did you and robert know each other" "Before you guys hooked up?" "Hmm." "Honey, how many dates did we have before we had sex?" "Oh, I-I don't know.Um, one?" "Did he just say "one"?" "No, not one." "That- -that was in your dreams." "Well, I-I mean,we were working together," "And, you know,then it sorta happened." "Oh, it didn't just sort of happen" "He totally put it in the books." "Me?" "What about you," "With the high heels and the push-up bra?" "You knew it was sexy time--oh, hi, dan." "Oh, good." "We're on." "Great.All right." "Thanks." "I gotta go.Whoa. Whoa." "Wait." "Dan lewis--on the hook for a mil." "Wow, $1 million." "I mean, these people are throwing money at me, robert," "And I don't even know who they are." "Well, they know who you are," "They know what you're running on, and they want in." "Yeah, meanwhile my own family doesn't even know I'm running." "You haven't told 'em?" "Not that I'm running for your senate seat." "Well, don't you think it's bad form" "For them to hear about it at the press conference?" "That is a very good point." "I'm gonna tell 'em tonight." "Good." "And, kitty,tell them." "Don't ask 'em." "Well, of course." "Bet they turn this place into a clothing store after we leave." "scotty, this place is not gonna close." "It's just a slow time." "No, they're gonna put the jeans over there," "And the sweater rack over there for the lightweight knits." "Are we just gonna stand around" "And have a pity party all afternoon" "Or are you gonna help me with this event?" "Honestly?" "Oh, scotty, listen to me." "You have a full house tomorrow night." "You have two great guest chefs" "The mayor and me.Yeah." "And it's gonna be fabulous." "And gray skies are gonna clear up." "Sunny days ahead." "You'll see." "Hello?" "Optimistic?" "Okay, thank you." "So much for sunny days." "That's the mayor, and he's snowed in in chicago." "They booked him on a flight tomorrow," "And they're "optimistic" that he can make it here on time." "Even god wants this restaurant to close.Just stop." "Let's not panic,okay?" "We're gonna" "What's wrong with him?" "He's a little low." "would you remind him that this restaurant is his baby?" "You can't give up on it.Oh, the baby!" "Mom, can you avoid using the "b" word?" "We find out Monday if michelle's pregnant." "And we're all a little on edge." "I'm not gonna be able to provide for our family." "I'm gonna be living in my car again with a baby." "No one is gonna be living in your car." "And you know what?" "Let's be honest here, scotty." "You're just the head chef here." "This puppy could go down," "And you could get another job anywhere, just like that." "But you won't have to because tomorrow night," "We're all gonna wow pasadena's finest" "With some culinary magic.No, not "we." "" you're going to your reunion." "What reunion?" "It's his 20th reunion." "He says he's not going." "I'm not.You're not going to your reunion?" "He's petrified.I'm not petrified." "I'm disdainful." "There's a difference.He's petrified." "He did not have a good higschool experience.Thanks, scotty." "whoa." "Kevin,I'll go to your reunion." "Did you know one of your classmates" "Is "playboy" bunny?" "Oh, let me guess." "Linda perlmutter.yeah." "Oh, do you remember,she developed very early?" "Like in kindergarten." "What are you, jealous?" "kevin, why don't you want to go" "To your high school reunion?" "It's like a rite of passage." "Yeah, so is circumcision." "saul,it--it was the mullet." "Kevin had a mullet?" "No." "Yeah, so did sarah." "Yeah, at least my bangs didn't go up." "uh-oh.Somebody's back early." "Guess that means no nooky." "Are you all tracking my sex life?" "no, we're just looking out for you." "Yeah, but if he hasn't tried" "To jump your bones by now,he's gay." "Or he has an s.T.D." "Or like the book says, "he's just not that into you."" "Personally, I think it's very sweet" "That you decided to take your time." "Thank you, uncle saul." "I'm trying to have a grow n-up relationship with a grown-up." "And if that means we don't jump into the sack off the bat," "So be it." "Now what's this I hear" "About you not going to your high school reunion?" "That's stupid." "Yeah, it is crazy." "I mean, if anybody shouldn't go" "To their high school reunion, it's me." "Remember when I lost my bid for president senior year?" "It was the biggest upset in the history" "Of west san marino high school as I recall." "She begged us to homeschool her the rest of the year." ""Send me to a convent." "Anything."" "You know, I seriously still can't believe that" "That what was his name" "Stephen lewinsky-- that he beat me." "Stephen lewinsky." "Oh, what a dreamboat." "All of the lewinskys were." "You had one in your year, right, kevin?" "Yeah, brent." "Don't remind me." "Oh, wait, wait." "Brent lewinsky, right?" "Oh, no." "He's not going." "You don't have to worry.Is there a recent picture of him?" "Yeah." "Let me see." "Let me see." "Oh, of course." "He's still annoyingly hot." "That's why his brother won, you know?" "He was a stud." "Yeah, well, wouldn't worry about the, uh, guy" "YOU'RE RUNNING AGAINST IN THE 54th." "He's ugly." "Well, actually, I'm not running against him anymore." "You're dropping out already?" "No, I'm still running for office." "I'm just running for a different one." "I'm running for robert's senate seat." "Robert's senate seat?" "Uh-huh." "Does robert know that?" "Yeah, he's the one who suggested it." "I-I know that it's a shocker," "But I just want to make sure that you guys are all on board." "Okay." "So't everybody speak at once." "Maybe, you know, we should take a vote." "No." "I mean, come on, like we used to, you know, vote" "On family vacations and whether or not kevin was gay." "All right, so everybody who's in favor," "Raise your hands now, and then we'll get" "Now wait a second." "Wait a second." "As I remember, all those votes were anonymous." "Uh, subtle mom." "Wait, so what, pen and paper?" "Yeah." "Let's go." "Yeah, in the second drawer right there." "Brent lewinsky- -that is a name I have not heard" "In so many years." "Kevin, what did you ever see in him?" "He was a very bad influence on you" "Uh, mom, do the words "Tall" And "Drink of water"" "Mean anything to you?" " uncle saul, you gonna tally?" "Yes, yes, yes." "I'm tallying." "Okay." "All right." "Here we go." "Okay, I got one, two, three, four, five, six." "Okay, here we go." "I a "Yes." Thank you." "I got a "Yes"... thank you." "And a "Yes"... thank you." "And a "Yes"... thank you." "And a "Yes"... thank you." "And a..." "Why are you all looking at me?" "My attorneys promised me" "A ROUGH OF THE CONTRACT END" "OF DAY YESTERDAY- And you have a call into them." "You either aren't serious about selling your shares to me" "Or you've got the worst representation in california." "DENNIS, THIS TAKES TIME." "So..." "Meet me tonight." "We'll hammer out the details." "Let your monkeys apply the legalese afterwards." "No, I-I can't meet you tonight." "No, of course you can't." "You know what?" "Maybe it's time I start looking at other options." "No, wait." "Dennis, wait" " I'LL TELL YOU WHAT" "If you're serious, meet me." "If not... it's been nice knowing you." "So I'm guessing this means our plans for today are off." "I'm sorry." "I have to go to the office." "What?" "This has gotta stop." "I'm sorry, david." "But I have work to do." "Work?" "Excuse me?" "You don't have any money." "All you've got is your shares in ojai," "And this guy is giving you a great price for them." "Yes, which only confirms for me how much more they're worth." "York knows something about ojai." "I'm sure of it." "And I am so close to finding out what that is." "This isn't about money." "This is about william walker and that company." "This is about you holding on to something" "That was never yours in the first place." "That was uncalled for." "I'm getting ready for work." "Hi." "Sorry I'm late." "Simon krantz should be kitty's field officer." "Okay." "I guess we're skipping pleasantries this morning." "Is that the list?" "Uh, yeah." "Campaign directors only." "Where's, uh, where's kit?" "She's... out there moping." "Apparently there was, a, uh, primary in pasadena last night." "Yeah, the--the post-it election." "Why?" "She's not hung up on that, is she?" "Well, she is wondering" "How she can be expected to win over the masses" "When she can't even get her own mother behind her." "Technically, it was anonymous." "She's about to announce her run." "I need her in the zone, not obsessing about her mother." "Okay, well, then maybe I should talk to her." "Good." "I'll talk to nora." "Um, are--are you sure about that?" "Because that might actually make things worse." "I can handle your mother." "THAT'S WHAT NAPOLèON SAID ON THE WAY TO WATERLOO." "Oh, and, kevin." "Yeah." "This list..." "I mean, obviously, your name is not on it," "But you know kitty wants you to be her campaign director." "No, I didn't know that." "Well, she hasn't said it out loud," "But..." "I mean, it's a no-brainer." "Kevin, you are the short list." "I do have a job, you know?" "Which is probably wh she hasn't mentioned it." "She knows how much I value you." "If this is what's gonna be good for kitty," "It's what we're gonna do." "Okay." "I didn't even know the mayor could cook." "Well, I don't know if he can, but it really doesn't matter." "All he has to do is stand there and smile." "I'm the guest chef." "I will do all the cooking, and scotty will supervise it." "That's how these events work." "Sounds like a plan." "Yep." "Robert, you know, my children" "Loiter around this kitchen all the time," "And that's fine, but you're a senator." "Go do something important." "I am doing something important." "You know what?" "You're barking up the wrong tree." "That "No" Vote was not mine." "Oh, come on, nora." "I mean, the thought of kitty" "Becoming a g.O.P. Senator makes you shudder." "So let's--let's-- let's talk about it." "You know what?" "If kitty can't handle one "No" Vote from a family member," "Then god help the great state of california." "But it's not just one vote." "I mean, come on." "It's-- it's you guys." "And look, there are a hundred senators." "I know how many senators there are." "I am willing to bet you there's not one that doesn't have" "The entire support of their family." "Well, then, you know what?" "I wish you lots of good luck" "About finding that culprit and getting them on board." "In the meantime, I'm busy." "So please excuse me." "Oh, crap." "Oh, scotty." "Yeah, scotty." "The mayor what?" "Oh, no." "Denver?" "They had to make an emergency landing." "Oh, god." "Well, you know what?" "Just tell him to get on another flight." "Bump someone." "He's the mayor, after all." "I know." "It's awful." "Oh, holdn a second." "Hello?" "Hey, scotty." "It's robert." "Oh, hi, Robert." "Um, you know, now's not really a good time" "Yeah, no." "Hey." "I hear you need a ch." "What are you doing?" "Yeah." "How'd you hear that?" "Listen," "I just want you to know that I am completely available," "And I could be there in an hour." "Put your hand over the phone." "Really?" "Oh, y-yeah." "That'd be fantastic." "PUT YOUR HANDOVER THE PHONE." "I mean,senator trumps mayor, right?" "Put your hand over the phone." "Oh!" "Why--why don't I put us all on speakerphone?" "There you go, scotty." "You got us both." "Hi, scotty." "Hi." "Looks like we're back in business." "YEAH." "ISN'T THAT LUCKY FOR US?" "L-listen, let's not waste time." "Nora and I will get" "Our stuff together, and we will be there shortly." "We'll be there, soon." "All right." "I'll see you then." "Bye." "Thanks." "Oh, come on, darling." "Just a little bit." "Is any of that getting in his stomach?" "Oh, well, it does eventually." "Why don't you give him some of this orange stuff?" "It's delicious." "Well, of course it's delicious." "It's dessert." "And he has to have some of the green stuff first." "There you go." "Why don't you bribe him a little like mom used to do?" "Well, because I'm not mom." "Am I, evan?" "No." "See?" "I'm on your side." "That's right." "I'm on your side." "Yay!" "And if you ever decide to run for senate," "I'm gonna vote for you, even if you run" "As a green party candidate." "It was just a stupid vote." "No, it wasn't a stupid vote, kevin." "It was my mother's vote-- my own mother." "Oh, dear." "I think you have had enough of this green stuff." "Would you like to take a little break" "And go into your playpen?" "There you go." "Okay." "Let's get you out of here." "You're not gonna let this slow you down, are you?" "'cause right now, it seems robert's a little more excited" "About this campaign than you are." "I'm not gonna lie to you." "It bothers me." "You ready to go in your playpen?" "Kit, you're gonna win this." "I know you are." "And you're gonna be a great senator." "Don't let one stupid little "No" Vote" "Put a damper on things." "This coming from a guy" "Who can't even face his own high school reunion?" "Oh, come on." "Not that again, please." "Well, kevin, I don't understand what you're so afraid of." "Yeah, because you had" "An entirely different experience in high school." "Of course you don't understand." "Oh, come on." "It couldn't have been that bad." "I was fat." "I had no friends." "Worst four years of my life." "And look at you now." "You're a completely different person." "R-right." "So why would I want to go back there?" "Look, I'll tell you what" "I promise not to dwell on mom's "No" Vote" "If you go to your high school reunion." "No, no." "I wouldn't even have a date." "Scotty has this thing tonight, so... well, I'll go." "You'd do that?" "Of course." "I think that you need to show the brent lewinskys of the world" "What you're really made of." "Well, brent's not gonna be there," "Which is why I'm only even considering doing this." "So we're going?" "Why do I have a feeling I'm gonna regret this?" "Well, um, in front of you you'll find" "The menus and the recipes." "Um, we're gonna start" "With a watermelon and roasted beet salad," "A lamb stew over polenta" "And for dessert, a pumpkin bread pudding." "Scotty, I just want to say this." "Hmm?" "Are--are you really set on this regular feta?" "A sharp feta is so much more flavorful." "And this cumin--you don't mind if I make a little tweak," "Do you?" "No." "Good, 'cause I was thinking of lessening it" "In favor of a little more coriander" "To make the flavor of the meat pop." "It's a trick the israeli prime minister" "Taught me at the u.N. Food summit last year." "Ah." "Okay." "Well, I mean, those both sound doable," "So long as we otherwise stick to the menu I shopped for." "Yeah." "Absolutely." "Absolutely." "Absolutely." "Okay, so-- okay." "Great." "Well, uh, you--you have everything you need." "Yeah." "So I'll, uh, let you get to it." "Here we go." "All right." "Thanks." "Yeah." "Okay, so why don't I get started on the meat?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Wait." "Wait a minute." "That's the entree," "And my name's on it." "Well, all the more reason why I should probably cook it." "Lamb can be very tricky." "Why don't you put the water on for the polenta?" "You--you want me to boil water?" "Didn't the israel prime minister teach you how to do that?" "You know what, guys?" "Um, I don't mean to interrupt here," "But, um, maybe you could share the lamb duties." "A lot goes into it." "Excellent." "Great idea." "You know, he's really right about that." "It's so much better this way- you and I, together," "United front." "Wow." "I thought you had to check your weapons at the door." "Only a republican would see these as weapons" "And not kitchen utensils." "You know, with our kitty in the senate," "You wouldn't have to conceal those bad boys?" "Oh, robert, for god sake." "Let's just stick to cooking tonight, all right?" "I'm just saying." "Just... cook." "I already feel a breakout coming on." "Did you bring any zit cream?" "Would you just relax?" "No." "No, no, no." "I'm not wearing a name tag." "Those are for geeks." "Nobody is gonna think you're a geek." "I think this was a mistake." "All right, listen," "You are a young, very handsome lawyer." "And you're soon to be a very young, hot father." "Don't--don't say that." "Okay?" "Really." "Scotty and I, we don't want to jinx it." "We won't know if the implantation..." "okay." "Whatever, whatever." "Has taken till monday." "No, I'm serious." "Shh." "Okay, okay, okay." "Kitty walker?" "Oh, my god." "What are you doing here?" "You're, like, famous." "Stacy hodges." "My sister amanda was in your class." "Oh." "Oh, yeah." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." "Seriously, how come you're slumming it with us freshmen?" "Oh, I, um..." "I-I just wanted to be with my brother." "Uh, yeah, for moral suort." "No, I begged him to let me come because..." "Well--well--well, I-I just really like being with him" "Because he's--he's, uh, he's so cool." "Uh, tommy, right?" "Kevin." "Kevin." "Right." "Sorry." "Happens all the time." "Oh, hey." "Hey." "What are you doing here?" "I thought you were going out with mom tonight?" "Yeah, we were." "She had to work." "What's that?" "Um, just some files that she asked for." "Wait." "She's at ojai?" "Why- -why--why is she there?" "Uh, you'll have to ask her, rebecca." "What's all this?" "Uh, a friend of mine is directing this movie in belize." "He, uh, he asked me if I'd direct the second unit." "You know, I wasn't gonna do it, but... - you're going to belize" "Yeah.For how long?" "Uh, probably a few months." "So mom's just okay with this?" "I doubt she'll notice." "I'm gonna, uh, stay with a friend of mine until we fly out on monday." "I'll call her before we leave." "Wait, wait." "So you--you guys get into a fight," "And... you just take off?" "You know what?" "I need a break." "I, uh, I just can't compete with ojai anymore." "You know, maybe when I get back, we'll-- you know, business is really bad right now." "I mean, so she's working a saturday night?" "She's the co-president-- no, no, no, no, no." "It's more complicated than that." "You can't leave her right now." "She needs you more than ever." "She's fighting for something that she really believes in." "Why can't you understand that?" "Good night." "Good night." "Are you okay with this..." "Whole going slow thing?" "Yeah." "I think slow is-- good good." "I slept with my husband before I knew his last name." "I got stuck with it for ten years." "So that didn't work out too well for me." "I probably shouldn't have told you that." "For me, it's, uh, my kids mostly." "Oh." "I-I just..." "The divorce really shook 'em up, and I-I just" "I'm not sure they're ready to see me with somebody new... no." "And I..." "I know exactly what you mean." "Had the same thing with my kids." "Yeah?" "I just" " I don't think it's fair" "To bring someone into my life until I know that it's real." "Real." "Right." "I mean, it's grown-up." "Yeah, yeah." "Okay, then." "Should we--should we be doing this?" "Um, yeah, but, uh, maybe we should get a motel." "Won't that make us feel cheap?" "yeah." "Come on." "Let's go before the sitter sees me." "Thank you." "Club soda." "Having fun yet?" "I'll let you know when this thirdnk kicks..." "Brent lewinsky?" "Don't sound so enthusiasti" "No." "I, um, I--I'm sorry." "I didn't think you were gonna be here tonight." "Don't worry." "I'm not gonna make you put a cherry bomb" "In fishman's tailpipe or anything." "Yeah, my--my ears are still ringing." "I just saw your sister." "You--you did?" "Yeah." "She's holding court with the debate team." "Uh, did--did you talk to her?" "No." "Okay, here's thehing-- um..." "You and me, we did a lot of crazy things back then." "Yeah, but what we did to your sister..." "Yeah." "Um..." "I never told her." "Okay?" "And I really need it to stay that way." "I did a lot of crazy things back then, you know?" "Mm-hmm." "I'm five years sober now," "So my days of acting like a complete idiot are over." "Yeah." "Well--well, you sure could drink." "I remember that." "Ugh." "High school was a blur." "In fact, I almost didn't come tonight." "YEAH, I-I SAW YOU R.S.V.P.'d "NO."" "There's triggers everywhere." "Oh, right." "My sponsor says that I'll be all right, so... yeah." "How about you?" "You got any good memories?" "What, of high school?" "No, it was pretty traumatizing." "Not--not in a "Hazing, homoerotic," ""Crawl around on the locker room floor" "And squeal like a pig" Type of way--I wish." "Just more, um, sitting alone on the bleachers" "With my alto sax and leg warmers, longing." "I'm gay, by the way." "I got that." "Right." "So what were you longing for?" "I don't know." "Just to be a part of things, I guess." "You were a part of things." "You were part of everything." "I swear, if there's a yearbook floating around here," "You'd be in every picture." "Yeah, I-I did edit the yearbook." "You were gunning to be most likely to succeed" "From day one." "Well, did you?" "What?" "Succeed." "Uh, well, I'm--I'm a lawyer." "I'm not practicing, but that's only because" "I'M WORKING FOR SENATOR McCALLISTER." "NO KIDDING?" "Yeah." "And I'm married... to, uh, to a man." "I believe we already established that." "Yeah." "Any kids?" "Not yet." "Oh, man, you gotta do it." "I got thre" "My biggest accomplishment." "I've made mo you know, but next to fatherhood..." "That's, uh... everything else just kind of seems silly." "Very cute." "Ac-actually, we are gonna have a kid." "No way." "When?" "Uh, well, we have a surrogate, and we just got her pregnant." "Oh, man." "You did succeed." "Thank you." "We're very excited." "Hey, guys." "Do you remember kevin walker?" "He's having a baby!" "Apps are a hit, you guys." "Can't wait to taste that stew." "Just making a few improvements." "Too much coriander." "Mm." "You're right." "My bad." "Oh, but it's gonna be great." "Great." "I'm sure it will be." "Your polenta needs stirring." "No, I'd rather not." "It makes it a little gluey." "Well, if you would've used" "Some of the lo w-sodium chicken broth I suggested," "It wouldn't be a problem and it would be healthier." "Speaking of health," "Did kitty tell you that all her doctors were unanimous," "That she's up to the rigors of the campaign?" "Well, I'm glad to hear it." "Cumin, please." "So you are excited." "I'm excited, robert." "I'm excited." "I'm thrilled." "Robert, let me ask you a question." "Why is it some important" "That you install my daughter in your senate seat?" "Install?" "You think that I'm pulling the strings?" "It was your idea, wasn't it?" "Well, yeah," "When I saw that kitty was aiming so low" "WITH THE CALIFORNIA 54th." "I mean, she's so much better than that." "Nora, I think kitty is capable of great things." "You know who you sound like?" "Her father." "You're always pushing her to be something" "You think she should be." "That's where you and I differ, robert." "You see, I love kitty for just exactly who she is." "Mom." "Rebecca, hey." "What are you doing here?" "It's a saturday night." "There's not enough hours in the week, right?" "You really don't know what's going on." "What's wrong?" "Dad's leaving." "What are you talking about?" "He took a movie in belize." "He's--he's gonna be gone for three months." "No, wait, wait." "Hold on." "He turned down that job days ago." "Mom, I was just at your house, and he was packing." "He said he's gonna stay with a friend" "Until he leaves on monday." "Right." "Of course." "So what?" "You--you guys had a fight" "Yes, we did." "And now your father is doing what he does best--taking off." "But... mom-- "But, mom" What?" "Hmm?" "What am I supposed to do?" "I dot know." "Maybe stop him?" "It wouldn't do any good." "Mom, you're not gonna solve ojai's problems overnight." "And you're certainly not gonna do it by yourself." "Rebecca, I asked your father for a little time." "But obviously, he doesn't have the patience" "Or he doesn't have any faith" "In what I am trying to do here." "I can't change that." "I'm--I'm sorry," "But I have a lot of work to do." "There you are." "I've been looking all over for you." "Yeah, look, uh, kitty's here now." "You gonna be okay?" "You sure?" "Okay, I love you, too." "Bye." "What happened?" "The implantation didn't take." "Michelle had a period." "Oh, crap." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, kevin." "It's not the end of the world." "We have more eggs." "I" "Hey, kevin!" "Kevin!" "Lewinsky told us you're doing the whole surrogacy thing." "Ishat true?" "Yeah." "Well, so did marvin kruger." "Remember him?" "Hi." "He's gay, too." "My partner and I had our twins about five years ago." "Best thing that ever happened to us." "I'm so happy for you guys." "Thank you." "Yay!" "Yay." "This is gonna be a hell of a fight." "It's gonna be brutal." "And that's why she needs all of you guys behind her." "I'm not listening to this right now." "No, but you need to." "Her opponents will come at her." "They will rip her to pieces." "I know that." "Then call her." "Tell her you support her." "How can you let her go into this fight not fully armed?" "Because I don't want her in this fight in the first place." "There." "I said it." "Are you happy now?" "I don't want her to run." "I wish I felt differently, but I don't." "Hey, guys." "They're calling for you." "We gotta go take a bow." "Yeah." "And here they are." "You sure you're happy to leave?" "Oh, my god." "Are you kidding?" "I only camhere for you." "Let's get out of here." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Where the hell do you think you're going?" "Um, you know what, brent?" "I'm not feeling so good." "So we're gonna duck out early." "Come on, man!" "Don't be such a wuss." "I-I had a blast." "Do I have to kick your ass?" "I'm sorry." "Did you not hear what he said?" "He said that he didn't feel good." "Kit." "Didn't realize your sister was so feisty, walker." "Y-- feisty?" "Wh--do I know you?" "No, you don't." "We're gonna go." "Brent lewinsky." "My brother steve beat you for class president." "Did you tell her yet, walker," "What we did?" "You know, I-I thought you were on the wagon, brent?" "Oh, come on, man!" "It's hilarious." "No, no." "What--what did you do?" "What did you do?" "What?" "Tell me what?" "What?" "We rigged the election" "Me and your bro here." "That's why you lost." "I hoisted him up through principal raker's window," "And we switched all of your votes for votes for my brother." "You shoulda seen kevin." "I-I-I thought he was gonna piss his pants." "He was so scared." "I'm so sorry, kit." "Oh, come on!" "Don't be such a fag." "We were, like, 14." "Do you think this is funny?" "And making yourself feel good" "While making everybody else feel bad" "I mean, is that funny to you?" "Because all my brother ever wanted was for you to like him." "Kitty, please-- and he thought that" "Your little gang was cool for some stupid reason," "And he just wanted to be a part of it." "But you know what you did?" "You made him grovel." "You made him sell his sister down the river," "But even that wasn't good enough for you, was it?" "You know--you know what I think you should do?" "I think you should take a look around and see" "What's really going on here, because this is not funny." "And you know what else I think you should do?" "I think you should go to a meeting," "And I think you should make amends, because clearly," "You have a lot to be sorry for." "Come on, kevin." "Oh, oh, I, um, I have one more thing to say to you." "You ever again call my brother a fag," "I will have you killed." "Let's go." "Let's just go." "ÐèÒªÌýÒë" "Oh, come on." "It was 20 years ago." "I know, and I'm still doing it." "You should've seen me in there," "Shooting my mouth off about being a father." "It's, like, f-for what, so I can feel like I'm... straight?" "So what?" "So what if you" "If you spoke prematurely about being a father?" "I mean, it doesn't make you any less of a success story." "Oh, yeah, I'm so much of a success story," "I had to have my big sister protect me just now." "Well, that's what big sisters are for." "You were pretty impressive." "Ah, no, I wasn't." "Yeah, you were." "Ah, well." "You know where I get it from, don't you?" "Mr. Gandervort's karate class?" "No." "I get it from mom." "Ugh." "It's true." "It's true." "And you know that "No" Vote?" "That was just mom being tough." "And, you know, you have it, too, even if you don't know it." "And with you running my campaign this fall," "I-I swear to you," "We are going to be an impossible ticket to beat." "Oh, god." "What--what's wrong?" "Oh, god." "All right." "Before you go hiring me," "I have to tell you something." "Mm-hmm." "It was me, kit." "The "No" Vote wasn't mom." "Wow." "Wow." "You... you really are full of surprises tonight," "Aren't you?" "I'm... kit, I am so sorry." "It's just--you know, when I first heard" "Robert wasn't running for reelection," "I got so, so excited." "Excited about what?" "Well, I..." "I don't know." "Being free, I guess." "It's j--you know what?" "All my life, I've been trying to prove myself." "Look, why else d a gay democrat" "Go and work for a republican senator" "If--if I wasn't trying to prove myself, right?" "Kevin, you don't have to explain it to me." "I'm a big girl, and I can totally take it." "No, you're my sister." "If you wanted me to run your campaign," "There's no way I could've said no to you." "I'm only just realizing it now for the first time." "I, you know, I voted "No" Because I-I didn't want" "To have to vote "Yes" To more of this," "You know, politics." "Kit, I am so sorry." "First of all, you have to stop saying you're sorry." "Sorry." "I mean, this is your life," "And you are allowed... to vote "No."" "And if you don't want to be my campaign manager," "Well,... i'll find somebody else." "It'll be no big deal." "I mean, they won't be as- -as cute as you, but..." "That's a given." "Yeah." "Do you remember in high school" "When we used to go home on saturday nighor" "Mom's hot fudge sundaes?" "Mm-hmm." "Come on." "Nora." "No, robert." "No, no, no." "The fight is over." "Look, look." "I'm putting my weapons away." "It was kevin." "Yeah." "I just got off the phone with kitty." "Kevin?" "Yeah, apparently, it's part of a larger story." "But, um..." "I'm sorry." "It was kevin." "That's a surprise." "Look, robert, I voted "Yes,"" "But in my heart, I voted "No."" "You're right." "She is going to need us." "And it's not about my politics or hers." "But I am so frightened for her." "It's so ugly and brutal." "I watched what they did to you." "Nothing was off-limits." "It didn't matter whether it was true or false." "And they're gonna do the same thing to kitty," "And I am so frightened for her." "Well... she said she wants the fight." "And she's tough." "I know." "I want to call her and talk to her." "Oh, I-I don't think you have to." "She and kevin are on their way to your house." "Why?" "I don't know." "Something about making ice cream sundaes." "Oh, no, they don't." "I make the sundaes." "I make the ice cream sundaes." "I make the ice cream sundaes." "Thanks for the beer." "Who knew a low-rent rendezvous could be so great?" "Low-rent?" "Are you kidding me?" "There's an air conditioner." "There--there are movies on demand, magic fingers" "Not necessarily in that order." "My fingers are pretty magic, aren't they?" "Mm-hmm." "Oh, my god." "They have "Spinal tap."" "Oh, spinal what?" "Tap." "You know..." "This dial goes up to 11." " Uh... no." "I--I'm sorry." " Rob reiner, christopher guest." "You know... the amp goes up to 11." "11?" "I don't get it." "Why wouldn't 10 be the highest, uh..." "Because that's the joke." "Okay." "This movie, it's- -it's like religion in my family." "I guess I just don't fd british humor that amusing." "No, they're not." "They're not british." "They're not even british." "Okay." "Is everything okay?" "Uh, yeah." "Yeah, it's just the sitter." "Wants to know when I'll be home." "I'm glad you're here, holly." "This is not how I like to do business" "Being summoned to a hotel room." "So why don't you cut to the chase?" "All right." "I think you're stalling." "I think you have no intent to sell me those shares." "Why would I be stalling?" "Because..." "You think I know something about this company" "That you don't." "Well, the thought did cross my mind." "So what if you're right?" "What if there's a boatload of money out there" "Millions of dollars" "Just waiting to be spent?" "And what if I think I can't get to it without you?" "I'm listening." "How about a deal, holly?" "A partnership-- you and me?" "We go in on this together, and I swear," "We will make you a very wealthy woman." "Intriguing." "How about I call down to room service," "Get us some drinks?" "A martini for you?" "Well, before you do that," "Why don't you tell me about this boatload?" "Well, uh..." "I'd like to relax first." "What do you mean, relax?" "I want the same deal that william got." "You know..." "Clearly, you were very..." "loyal to him." "If I'm gonnall all my secrets to you," "I'd like that same loyalty." "Hi." "Hi." "I hear there's gonna be sundaes." "I hope you brought more ice cream." "Uh, yeah, yeah, I did." "Um..." "look, mom, I'm so sorry." "No." "No, I-I never should've doubted you." "No, kitty, look, I didn't instantly..." "Smother you with support, which is what you expected." "You had every reason to doubt me." "And plus, you spent the whole night" "In the kitchen with my husband, which is-- are you kidding?" "That was fabulous." "No." "I wish you could hear how he talks about you." "Oh!" "Oh, my god." "What?" "Look what I found." "What are they?" "Flags." "Just like the flags I'm gonna be waving" "For you at every campaign stop," "From here to eureka." "Mom, does this mean you're changing parties?" "I heard there was ice cream." "Um, what kind of sundae do you want?" "Don't tell me." "Caramel with sprinkles." "Thank you." "Okay, tell me." "How was the big date?" "Ssion accomplished." "In a motel." "A motel?" "Oh, my god." "Oh, my god." "I am so jealous." "Sorry, mom." "Oh, please." "My god." "It was the women of my generation" "Betty friedan, erica jong- -who coined the phrase "G-spot."" "Okay, that's disturbing." "Motel sex is fabulous." "Your father and I used to stop off-- oh!" "Oh, mom, gross." "Ew, ew, ew." "Fine, fine, fine." "No, no." "I hope you had a very pleasant evening." "Yeah." "Did you see, like," "Fireworks and stars and stripes and everything?" "That must be what happens when republicans orgasm." "Saul." "I didn't call saul." "Oh!" "Okay." "She's very funny tonight." "Details." "Oh!" "It was fine." "Fine good?" "Fine bad?" "Good." "Fine good." "Good." "Good." "The evening was a little weird." "He hasn't seen "Spinal tap." "" You're kidding me?" "Mnh-mnh. "Spinal tap"?" "Mm-hmm." "Really?" "If we need an extra push over the cliff... you know what we do?" "We put it up to 11." "We put it upo 11." "Okay, so it wasn't an 11 then, but" "No, it was... it was a 7. 7.5." "Oh, well, 7.5 is-- is very good." "Yeah." "En I got this text..." "From luc." "But I've been down that path." "It didn't work out." "I can't compare roy to a fantasy." "Yeah." "You know what?" "7." "5 is--is pretty darn good." "You can build on it." "You sure can." "Improvement." "Holly?" "I-I thought you had left." "Well..." "I forgot something." "Really?" "What did you forget?" "You." "What?" "I've asked over and over again" "For you to let go." "And I realized..." "That I've never given you any reason to believe" "That I would be here if you did." "Marry me." "Are you serious?" "'cause after the night that I've had..." "I'm serious." "Yes." "Yes." "Yes, yes, yes, yes." "Yes, yes, yes." "And--and I will let go." "I am going to sell my shares." "I'm gonna get out of ojai." "I mean it." "It might help." "You I right?" "You okay?" "I love you." "I love you, too." "I can't stop eating these things." "They're so good." "Oh, hey, love birds." "Come on." "You're melting the ice cream out here." "Could we just please start this thing already?" "What are we starting?" "What are you so grumpy about?" "We're having a revote." "A revote?" "Okay, the election results are invalidated." "So we're gonna do it again and leave it at that." "Yes." "Okay, come on." "Let's get it over with." "I'll get a paper and pen." "No!" "No, no." "No paper and pen." "This is not gonna be an anonymous vote, all right?" "We're gonna have it all out in the open." "I'm not gonna be falsely accused again." "Okay." "Fine." "Kitty, you have the floor." "Okay, uh, all those in favor of me running-- aye!" "Of me running for robert's senate seat, say... aye." "Aye!"
