"I don't think you should be behaving like this." "I'll get you the number of the Better Business Bureau and you can report me." "In the meantime, start documenting the abuse." "Write everything down." "Photograph your injuries." "Keep doctor reports." "That could be important in a custody battle." "And men like your husband typically do go for custody." "He has the resources, the money, the contacts." "Most importantly... he has the ego to see this through." "I don't understand why you're being such an alarmist right now..." "Because I'm alarmed." "Have you told anybody else about the abuse?" "No." " Why not?" " I don't know." "If you were to guess." "(scoffs)" "Perhaps my self-worth is made up of how other people see me." "(chuckles)" "I'm sorry." "I..." "I'm just amazed by patients who can harbor such profound self-awareness underneath the hard shell of denial." "Find a friend to confide in." "Do it today." "(sighs) Because?" "Because if there is a custody battle, you know what Perry's lawyer will be asking..." ""Did you ever tell anybody, Mrs. Wright?" "Hmm?" "Really?" "You told nobody at all?"

"Uh..." "I..." "I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry." "I completely lost control and I stepped out of line, and I should have never shoved you like that." "There's no excuses and I'm so sorry." "Yeah." "The truth is is I finally realized that I've been feeling exactly what you must be feeling." "There's nothing worse than your child being victimized, right?" "So, I understand and completely empathize with what you're going through." "I am as sure as any parent can be that Ziggy is innocent." "I took him to a child psychologist and she examined him and tested him and said that he was a gentle young boy who's completely incapable of doing what he's been accused of." "Renata, I am at my wit's end." "I don't know what to do anymore." "Does Amabella still say that he's hurting her?" "No." "She, uh... says he's a sweet boy." "And orientation?" "Well, she hasn't taken back the accusation, but... she refuses to talk to us about anything further." "You think you're at your wit's end." "My daughter is the one getting hurt and I can't stop it." "(softly) I'm so sorry." "Me, too." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Yeah, my baby lost another baby tooth." " I put it under my pillow." " Good." "There is no tooth fairy, idiot." "It's Mom and Dad."

" Congrats on your opening night." " Aw." "Thank you, honey." "I don't really have anything to do with it anymore." "You have a huge amount to do with it."

"Remember, you're not allowed to sing that one." " Okay." " You can play it, but you can't sing it." " Why can't I go to the play?" " It's not really for kids." " I like puppets." " I know you do." "Is it because the puppets have sex?" " Who told you that?" " Chloe." "She said the boy puppet puts his penis in the girl puppet." "(stammering) Chloe said that?" "Yeah, it's icky." "Sometimes... magic comes from icky, Ziggy." " Woman:" "Hey." " That's a longer conversation, though." " Hi." " How's my little champion?" " Awesome." " Yeah?"

" Calm down, I just want..." " Please, this is important." " We've got to go." " What... hey, what is this?" " Really, stop it." " What's wrong?" "What did you do, take a pill or something?" "No, of course I didn't take a pill." "You're actually capable of arousing me without medication, Celeste." " You're being ridiculous." " I... huh?" " (yelps)" " Is this being ridiculous?" "What?"

" (laughs)" " Yeah, we never have wild sex." "I mean, we have nice sex." "I like it, but, you know, it usually times out between four and six minutes, and neither of us are in any remote danger of physical injury." " Well, that's just kind of mean, Ed." " Sorry." "I mean, maybe I am envious, you know?" "I mean, what, Perry walks through the door and, whoosh!" "I wish we had that kind of desire." "Well, by "we" you mean me." "Okay, you're a fiery person." "Which makes your tepidness for me just more conspicuous." "I don't mean to punish you..." "Well, I mean, it feels like you are."

"Women lay eggs?" "(laughs) No, women have eggs inside of them, in their bellies." "So, the sperm fertilize the egg in there, and out of that comes the baby." "So, you wanted a baby and my dad "ferlitized" you?" " Fertilized." " Fertilized you?" "(laughs) Something like that, yeah." "What do you mean, "Something like that"?" ""Exactly like that."

" Thank you." " Just call me tomorrow." "Let me know." "(exhales)" "(music playing)" "Ed:" "If you feel yourself getting angry, just remember it's all about getting along for Abigail's sake." "I'm gonna be fine." "I took a little something." "Just a half." "This is a good thing that we're doing." "♪ You're ruling the way that I move... ♪" "Madeline:" "It was such a long drive over." " Ed:" "God, everything..." " Madeline:" "Looks so good." " Yeah." " ♪ And I breathe your air... ♪" "And the chef?" "Not too bad." "The cook's even better. (chuckling)" "Madeline, do you want some more bread?" "Mm, yes please." "It's so yummy." " Thank you." " Bonnie, I love this music." " Is this Adele?" " Uh, no." "It's Sade, actually." " We should get this, honey." " Oh, we have it." "Bonnie:" "Red wine, anyone?" "I know white goes with fish, but I like red." "Yes, please." "Oh!" "(chuckles) Down the hatch." "Madeline:" "I love this place setting." "I like when there's extra forks and extra spoons, especially little, tiny forks." " (chuckles)" " It feels so special, doesn't it?" " I just want to use all of them." " (chuckles)" "The, uh... the little ones are for the oysters." "And I love these really creative little cups." "They're clay." "I think they're from Mexico." " Yeah." " Oh, that's so nice." "Ed prefers more traditional glass." "Perhaps for wine, but these are..." "I'm actually more kind of a beer guy, but..." "Oh, do you want some beer?" "We have some." " Oh, no, no, no!" " Are you sure?" " Sit down." " Since we're talking about wine glasses, let's have a toast!" " Toast." " Yes, toast." "Toast." "The, uh..." "To, um... for..." "I should make a toast." "Bonnie:" "Please." "To Nathan and Bonnie." " Because I heard..." " And none of us killing each other." " (chuckles) Yeah, right." " All right." " (all laughing)" " I'm just kidding." "You're so funny." "All right." "This is yummy wine." " Bonnie:" "Mm, isn't it?" " It's really good." "Is Abigail gonna join us for dinner?" "She'll be down for dessert." "She said she can only be stuck with the grown-ups for so long." "Yeah." "I think she's just wanting us to have some bonding time." "Teenagers." "Oh, she's been probably working on her secret project." "Mm." "I'm so curious." "Do you guys know what that is?" " Mm-hmm." " Yeah, we just found out what it is, yeah." "No way." "Do tell." "Baby?" "(clears throat)" "It's unconventional." "It's even a little radical." " Good." " Listen, when I first heard about it, I overreacted." "And I'm just gonna caution you guys to take a breath." "Process it before jumping to a judgement." "Okay, can you just tell us what it is?" "(clears throat)" "It's... well, she's attempting to raise money for Amnesty International." " All right." " She showed me her website." "It's, like, very professionally done." "I..." "Abigail is... auctioning off her virginity in order to raise money to protest sex slavery." " What?" " Yes." "(scoffs) Very funny." "No, I'm being serious." "She said if a seven-year-old can be sold to sex slavery, then no one would bat an eye if a white, rich American girl would sell hers online." " This is for real?" " Look, it's not gone live yet." "And we have no intention of letting that happen. obviously." " Of course not, no." " Nathan, if this is some sort of joke..." "Yeah, this is not funny, Nathan." " Bonnie:" "Okay." " (scoffs)" "It's... it's shocking." "And a bit disturbing." "But I think it is important that we... we separate the nobility of the cause from the misguided means of pursuing it, you know?" "We... we champion the former and dissuade her from the latter, right?" " (vomiting)" " Oh!" "Oh, honey!" "Are you okay?" "That's okay." "That's okay, that's okay." " (coughing)" " That's a human reaction." "That's completely..." "baby, get her... thank you." " You okay, honey?" " No, I'm not." " Oh, my God!" " Oh, honey!" " Honey!" " Okay." "Thank you, thank you." "That's all right." " Here." " Oh, my God." " That's all right." " All right." "This is how you parent, Nathan?" "She's been under your roof for two minutes and now she's some sort of prostitute?" " Did I tell ya?" " Great parenting!" "All right, let's all just settle for a minute, okay?" "Please." "Let's just settle." "Let's remember that we are living in the time of... of Facebook and reality..." "Oh, God damn it!" "Oh, my..." " Shit!" " It's the shrimp." "I had heard that Abigail was a little slutty." "Knowing the mother, I wouldn't be surprised." "(TV playing)" "Bye, guys." " Bye." " Where are you going?" "Out for dinner with Jane." "(chatter on TV)" "That's enough." "Abigail." "(birds chirping)" "You're done with dinner already?" "Look, I don't even know where to begin about this, so I'm just gonna go straight to the end." "This is wrong, Abigail." "Completely wrong." "And I salute your cause." "I really do." "But... but what?" "Saluting a cause, recognizing a problem, isn't enough." "A person has to do something." "Well, this something is not that, honey." " What about your play?" " What about my play?" "You said it spoke to you because it was about finding a purpose in life, which I get." "Making your mark." "I get that." "You're the one who always said a person's life needs to matter." " Okay..." " Was it all just bullshit?" "No, it's not." "And I'm not gonna give you some long song and dance about how precious and sacred your beautiful body is." " Mm-hmm." " But it is not for sale, Abigail." "Not ever." "No matter what cause, no matter what cost." "And one day, you are going to look back at this... probably pretty soon... and think," ""What the fuck was I thinking?" "Why was I gonna fuck up my life like that?"" "Must be nice to be so right." " I'm not right!" " So perfect." "I'm not fucking perfect!" "You think you know me so well?" "I fuck up, too." "I make mistakes." "I've made mistakes bigger than this." "Last year, I cheated on Ed." "I ended it very quickly, but..." "The two things I value most in this life are my kids and my marriage." "And I risked destroying both of them." "Just because I was... selfish or..." "So don't... don't tell me I'm perfect, okay?" "I know about fucking up." "And fucking up doesn't make your dad and I get back together." "Fucking up doesn't fix your life." "Okay?" "At least what you were gonna do was for a good cause, and..." "I was just being selfish." "Do you still love Ed?" "(TV playing)" "(seagulls screeching)" "(music playing)" "Mom, watch this."
