"We can argue about whether it is or isn't enough, uh, but the title is Is Enuf." "So, you flossing?" "Well, I mean, is that going to mean it's going to hurt?" " I'm a little anxious." " Really?" "Do you want some gas, a little bit of gas?" "You mean like nitrous?" " Mm-hmm." " For a cleaning?" "Just a little bit, take the edge off." "Katrinka, will you bring the blanket and headphones in, please?" "We're going to get some nitrous here." "There's a blanket?" "It's a blanket and headphones." " Hi, doctor." " Hello."

"...on Sarah Pfefferman's behalf?" "With all due respect, I think you are too close to this situation, and you should recuse yourself." " I agree." " Just to keep it clean." " That makes sense to me." " Okay." "So why don't we just take a vote?" " Well" " Everybody who's in favor of Sarah Pfefferman being on the board, raise your hand and say "Aye."" "Mm-hmm." "One more little finishing touch here." " Yeah." " That's a lot of hair." "This clip-in bang, it gives you something to play with." " Oh, finally." "A bang I can play with." "Wow." "Vicki." " Hmm."

" She poisoned the board." "Who?" "It's not ethical for me to tell you." "Laura Milton-Kaufberger." "Okay." "What did she say?" "Sarah" "What did she say?" "Oh." "What she said is that you have a dark energy." " I have a dark energy?" " I am so sorry." "Doesn't matter." "Let's let it go." "Resting Bitchface said I have a dark energy?" "Sarah, let's move on." "What was the vote?" "That has no bearing on this." " 4-3?" " Honey, you don't need any of these people to have access to your spirituality." " 5-2." " This is about your relationship to you."

" I'm not" " No, you think" "You think I'm joking." "I have been working so hard on this thing, and I'm telling you, nothing's-- nothing's sticking." "It's so bad." "It's nothing I believe in."

"I remember them around me, and I picture them wrapping me up like a" " Okay." " ..." "like a garment that I try on." "I feel a little rush, and, you know, you get sort of a tingle on the back of your neck." "Sometimes that's all God is-- is that-- the feeling, and from that place, I feel like I can love." "I had a miscarriage." "Then I didn't know, uh" "I didn't ex-expect it to gut me like it did." "Because it g-- it gutted me." "And now I think I'm" "really depressed." "Make a wish, Cha-cha!" " 70-year-old lungs." " What did you wish?" "Well, one of the things I wished for was, uh, that you guys don't call me Moppa anymore." " Really?" " Why?" "You don't like that name?" "I thought you liked that name." "I did." "I just want to move away from Flopsy, Mopsy, huggable" " Yeah." " Like a Muppet." "What do you want us to call you?" " How about Guh-guh?" " Ugh." "That's more muppety than Moppa." "It's too close to mine." "I'm Gigi." "What about Mimi?" "What about Nana?" "I don't like Nana." "Can we call you Grammie?" "Hold on." "Not Grammie." " Grandma?" " Grandma." "See?" " G-R-A-N-D-M-A?" " Yes." "Well done." "And, uh, maybe you guys want to call me," "I don't know, Mom." " Mom?" "Ha ha!" "Get a load of this." "Mom." " Mm, okay." " Why not?"

"And I would love your support, but if you can't, I totally understand," " but, uh..." " We got you." "We totally support you." "Of course we support you." "Right?" "We support you." "I'm gonna go help the kids look for some hiding places for their game." " Congratulations." " Thanks, Buzz." " Was that Latin?" "What did he say?" "I don't know what he said." "It means in Yiddish "Wear it in good health."" " Wear it well." " He will." "Yeah." "Uh, would anyone like coffee?" "Yeah." "I'll help you." " Coffee?" " We're with you, girl." " Okay." " We're with you." "Just give me a minute." "Okay." "Oi." "Okay." "Okay." " Len, what's the difference between hide and seek and sardines?" "Still working." " Instead of everyone hiding, one person looking, one person hides, and everyone else seeks." " You all right?" "Mm-hmm." "Definitely." "Thank you." "Happy birthday." " 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" " Stakeout!" "Look out!" " Get out of my yard!" " Jesus Christ." "Jesus, Len." " Daddy." " Where'd they go?" "Where'd they go?" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Round 9." "Who's going to hide?" " Me!" " Me!" " Me!"

"I hear Munchkins." "This is a great spot." "I'm not playing." "I'm not playing." "Come on." "Your family's the best, I love your family." "I mean, they're crazy, but I love them." "Hmm." "You okay?" "Yeah." "Will you put your arm around me?" " You're good?" " Yeah." "Can I just ask you something?" "I just" " I just want to-- just want to know her" "What's her name?" "I like how you wait till we're trapped together to ask me this shit." "You don't know her." "I don't know her?" "Her name's Una." "Una?" "Una?" "Wait a second." "Una is" "Wait." "The spin instructor Una?" "Come here." "Back this way." " This way." " Kids, this way." "I mean, honestly, does it really matter how I feel?" "I mean, it's like she's got to do her." "Yeah, she does." "I'm proud of her." "Yeah." "Me, too." "You know?" "It's not easy." "So you guys" "Mm-hmm." "Yeah." "Used to be roommates?" "Yeah." "I finally have my own spot." "It's good."

"Silver Reign Silver Reign." "You" " You strip?" "No." "Actually, I'm the Silver Reign IT person." "Shut the fuck up." "Oh, sweetie, I'm not playing." "Do you want to go?" "Why would you wait to speak before an audience of all these people about your surgery?" " They're my family." "I mean" " I mean-- ...of course I'm going to talk to them." "It didn't occur to you to talk to me about this first?" " What's going on?" " I'd just like to know what it is about you that needs an audience for this kind of thing, why you can't say to me" "It's my family." "...at home before we leave, in the car on the way up here" "Oh, by the way, honey, I'm thinking about this." "I did not know I was going to say it until I said it." "Hey." "I'll tell you what." "Let's go home because this is stupid." "I'm ready." " Oh, sorry." "Not playing?" " Come on in." " Sorry." "Hi." " Shh." "Come on in." "Come on, come on." " Come on, come on." " Shh." " Come on, come on, come on, come on." "Okay, everybody here?" " Yeah." " Shh." " Okay." "Now turn off the lights." "Yeah." "Those fuckers at the temple."

"I" " I tried out with that-- the thing with the" "Rhythmic gymnastics?" " Yeah." " Yeah." "Why the fuck do I know that?" " Okay, first of all, people want you, and whatever, I'm alone." " So what's the big deal?" " Oh, really?" " Yeah." " Really?" " Yeah." " Who do you live with?" "What's going on upstairs?" "You're fucking baking cakes, okay?" " That's not the same." " It is." "You and Josh are like a married" "And he was mine, by the way." "You fucking stole him from me the second you were born." "He was mine." "That is" "Whatever." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God."
