"(chatter)" "Amabella:" "She's not coming?" "Well, she really wants to, sweetheart." "Turns out she has a conflict." "It so happens that your party is on the same exact day as Disney on Ice." "But if Chloe doesn't come, is everybody else coming?" "Almost everybody." "There are a few others who are going to the other thing." "How many?" "I'm not exactly sure." "How many, about?" "I think six." "(sighs)" "Honey, but everybody else in the whole class is coming." "It's gonna be an incredible party." "Come, come." "Oof." "Hey, it's a beautiful weekend." "Look, they're setting up games." "There's gonna be a bouncy, a magician, princesses," "Spider-Man for the boys." "It's gonna be the best birthday party ever." "Of course it's gonna be the best birthday party ever!" "Get over here, you little punk!" "What are you doing, huh?" "Mwah!" "Do me a favor, get your swimsuit on, all right?" "I'll meet you in the pool, five minutes." "Ready?" "Go, go, go." "Four minutes!" "Three minutes!" "(door opens, closes)" "What's going on?" "Six kids aren't coming tomorrow." "Six." "It was a mistake to not invite Ziggy Chapman." "Yeah, I kind of felt bad about accepting those tickets, but they're so expensive." "And plus Lily didn't know Amabella from a tree trunk." "Honey, he tried to choke her." "She's afraid of him." "How could we possibly invite him?" "Yeah, but with Chloe Mackenzie not coming and..." "That fucking Madeline!" "Honey, it's gonna be a spectacular party." "Amabella is gonna have the time of her life." "I'm gonna kill her." "Hey, are we going to some kid's birthday party tomorrow?" " Celeste:" "Oh." " Ran into Reed Whittaker today and he seemed to think we were." "For about 10 seconds, but then Madeline got tickets to Disney on Ice." "Truly. (chuckles)" "The kids are excited, actually." "Okay." "And what, I'm not invited to this Disney thing?" "(chuckles)" "Come on." "You don't want to go to that." "You hate those things." "You don't think I wanna spend some time with my family after being gone all week?" "Why didn't we discuss this?" " No, let's not..." " Wh... no." "Why didn't we discuss it?" "Well, it just... it wasn't like that." "I don't know." "Madeline got the tickets and... and there were only so many." "So it's a money thing." "We couldn't afford a ticket." "No, it's not that." "It's..." "take my ticket, really." " That's not the point." " What is the point?" "The point is that one second they're going to some kid's birthday party that I didn't know about, the next, you decided to take them to a show." " Come on, Perry." " Am I not a member of this family?" "Sometimes I have to make decisions when you're 10,000 miles away." "You don't think it'd be nice for Josh and Max to spend time with their dad who's been gone all week?" "All right." "It... (sighs)" "Do you think I wanna be away all the time?" "No." "Do you think I enjoy missing our family?" "No." "Look at me, then." "Look at me." "Come on." " Huh?" " Ow, you're hurting me." " Oh, I'm hurting you, huh?" " Mm-hmm." " Can we talk about how much you hurt me?" " (whimpers)" "Do you deliberately plan these things to avoid having to be with me?" " Huh?" " Take your hand off me." "You could've bought another ticket." "(sighs)" "I will leave you." "You touch me like that again, and I will fucking leave you!" "(crying)" "Quinlan:" "The injuries were many and they were severe." "We are talking multiple broken bones." "Chloe:" "Indians?" "Native Americans, honey." "Lots of people have Native-American ancestors." "He looks like an Indian." "Your father will explain." "It's not fair." "Joey's ancestor is Christopher Columbus." "Abigail:" "Mmm, he killed lots of Indians." " That's not helpful." " That's actually true." "Ed." "I don't wanna do a family tree." "Well, you have to, honey." "It's the assignment." "You wanna do well in school, right, Chloe?" "Listen to your sister." "If you don't excel in first grade, you won't get into private school." "And then you can forget about Stanford." "And then what's the point?" "Don't listen to your sister." "How much longer are we gonna beat this dead horse?" " I was just kidding." " Wait, who beats horses?" " (phone ringing)" " Nobody, honey." " Hello?" " Renata:" "May I speak to Madeline, please?" "Yeah, one sec." "(whispers) Renata Klein." "Really?" "Hello?" "Madeline, it's Renata." "Mm-hmm." "What's up?" "Well, had a little bit of a long night of the soul last night, and, uh, well, I think you were right." " I see." " It was wrong of me to exclude Ziggy Chapman from the party." "(whispering) She wants to invite Ziggy." "It just was, and, uh... well, I'd like to invite him after all and of course have Chloe there." "It would be so great." "Amabella is so fond of her, as you know." "Um, would you happen to have Jane's number?" "I really wanna give her a call." "Oh, you are so sweet, but tomorrow there's a bunch of us that are all driving to San Jose for Disney on Ice." "Oh, um, well, I..." "I just..." " I thought..." " Well, maybe we could swing by afterwards." "How late will the party be going until?" "3:00." "No, we won't be back by then." "But there's gotta be something we can do, right?" "(sighs) If only there was." "Sorry, were." "Subjective tense since it's contrary to fact." "Okay, how about this?" "Chloe and the others come to the party, big smiles on their faces, right?" "And after, I arrange a... a great sleepover weekend trip to Disneyland... all expense paid, VIP passes, the works." "Backstage passes to "Frozen."" "Yeah, it's not gonna work." "I'll even get Snow White to sit on your husband's face." "Maybe Dumbo can take a squat on yours." "You are so sweet." "I'd rather go to the party than the stupid show." "You're dead in this town, as is your fucking puppet show." "Oh, thank you so much for calling, Renata." "I really appreciate it." "(grunts)" " All good?" " Yep!" " (music playing on radio)" " We are gonna have a great time today." "Boy:" "Look, guys, Harry the Hippo is flying." "If I were you, I'd be gentle with his legs."

"I'm so sick of this bullshit." "Yeah, I don't like it either." "Are we only supposed to put on plays that are acceptable to a tiny group of people?" "Because right now it's "Avenue Q,"" "and next week it'll be "Book of Mormon,"" "and then it'll be the books that we can read or the films our children can watch."

"I have a lawyer." "She's amazing." "Her name is Celeste Wright." "She worked for a huge firm." "Maddie, I haven't even told these guys." "They don't know." "It just pisses me off, because in large part this has to do with Renata Klein having this mayor and this town by the balls." "And if city council were to see somebody like the... the likes of Celeste and Perry Wright on the other side of this, they would have to pay attention." "Why... why are you laughing?"

"Abigail:" "I feel this burden or pressure." "I don't know how to be perfect." "Excuse me?" "Whether it's I need to get into Stanford..." " Hey, if this is about the SAT tutor..." " Maybe you should just let her finish." " I'm speaking to my daughter right now." " Mom!" "Go ahead." "She can handle it." "Handle what?" "There are a lot of high-powered women who live here." "Some run banks, others run Google or Yahoo and... sometimes I feel like you're grooming me to get to a place you, um, couldn't." "I think, uh, it would just be best if I go live with Dad for a while." " I..." "I just did not..." " I feel like I can't be myself at home." "Have you been discussing this with him?" "No." "I don't even think I was totally aware of how much I... until Ms. Brewster and I started talking." "Mom, I just need a change, okay?" "I think it would be better for me spiritually." " (seagulls screeching)" " Ed:" "It's my fault." "I never should have gotten into it with Nathan." "No, it's my fault." "I pushed her too hard." "I always push too hard." "Honey, look at me." "Hey." "You are not losing her, okay?" " (sniffles)" " You and Abby are so close." "Maybe too close, which is why she feels..." "She wouldn't leave if she knew I had cancer." "Well, you don't have cancer." "But I'd be willing to get it." " This is rough, Ed." " I know." "Your only crime is you were too good a parent." "I mean, you have raised a strong-minded, autonomous young woman who can think for herself, who can express her feelings, and she's equipped to make pretty big life decisions." "She is an extraordinary person just like her mom." "Thank you." "I'm gonna get better." "(panting)" "Renata:" "All right, Adam, where do we stand?" "What?" "Lowlife scumbag." "Pricks who have a company that fits really well with ours." "Don't worry, he'll buy it." "Okay, here's what you're gonna do." "You're gonna go into Malcom and tell him we have a new deal." "And sweeten the executive stock options pool." "Yeah, let's keep these prepubescents flush in skateboards." "All right, now stop picking your noses and get this done." "No, it's a fair price." "They'll cave." "Don't worry." "Oh, and a three-year vest, okay?" "No shorter." "Yeah, they gotta stay to get paid." " Gordon:" "I will take care of it." " Okay, call me when it's done." " Gordon:" "You let me worry about it." " Renata:" "Yeah." "I think Amabella should go to therapy." "Therapy?" "(sighs) It couldn't hurt." "She's six. (chuckles)" "Yeah, but she's gifted, which makes her intuitively advanced and emotionally more vulnerable." "Honey..." "Please don't "honey" me." "I know she enjoyed her party, but you have to admit her excitement seemed tempered, and that's because Chloe and a couple of other favorite friends weren't there." "Yeah, but to seek medical help?" "Medical?" "It's not medical." "Gordon, don't be so old-fashioned." "Come on." "I just... we've talked about this." "Amabella internalizes." "And a social slight could cause more psychological harm than a choking." "I come back to "she's six."" "(sighs)" "Well, trust me, those wounds can last forever." "And she doesn't need to know she's seeing a child psychologist." "Some of the best ones now dress up as clowns." "We... we could sell it as another birthday surprise." "You're laughing at me?" "Gordon, please, I spend all day long never letting my guard down." "Just let me be a scared mom." "It's our daughter." "(winces)" "Look, one of the things that makes you so successful is that you're able to see every hiccup." "You know, it's..." "it's one of your many gifts." "So one of the pitfalls is that you tend to way overthink everything." "Amabella had a great time at the party." "How could she not?" "That thing blew Disney on Ice away." "Have I become tragically unfun?" "Oh, honey, no." "Come on, no, of course not." "Oh, my God, I have." "I'm now one of those people" "I swore I would never turn myself into..." " some corporate, controlling, anxious..." " No, don't." "Don't." "Stop it!" "On our third date, we went skydiving." " Do you remember that?" " Indeed I do." "Well, I think that was the last time" "I let myself just free fall." "When did we become past our spontaneous prime?" "You want spontaneous?" "Let's make love on that desk right now." "No, you know what?" "I take that back." " Let's fuck on that desk right now." " Don't make fun of me." "I am not making fun of you." "I am looking at my wife." "I wanna fuck her right here and right now." " Don't be ridiculous." " Why not?" "Ridiculous is totally commensurate with free falling." " Take off your clothes." " (laughing)" " Gordon..." " Do I have to rip them off?" " People will see." " No one will see." "Well, they'll hear." "You know how I get." "Fine, no desk." "Bathroom." " Welcome, welcome." " Thank you very much." " The office is in that way." " Mm-hmm." " Okay." " Go ahead, yeah." " On the couch?" " Yes." " Okay." " Yes." "Well, so what brings you here today?" " Maybe... all right." " (nervous chuckling)" "So, you're free to talk about anything." "A lot of couples experience a death of passion, um..." "Celeste:" "Passion is definitely not our problem." "If it is, maybe it's because there's too much of it." "(laughing)" "How do you mean?" "Well, we love each other very much." "Yeah." "And, um... (sighs)" "I just think maybe we... things can just get a bit volatile." "Volatile how?" "We fight a lot and we say things." "Um, we yell, we scream, and... (sighs)" "We just have a lot of anger that we need some help controlling." "When you talk of anger and volatility... are we talking about a physical expression of anger?" "No." "Just emotional, um... verbal." "Mm." "It's not... not quite true." "After we fight, we... ahem, we very often make love." "I don't know if you can call it making love." "It's very... um, there seems to be a lot of anger, you know, mixed up in it, and..." "Mm-hmm." "Well, there's a line between passion and... and rage, and... and, you know, sometimes maybe we... we cross that." "Sometimes." "Where do you think this rage comes from?" "I don't know." "I don't even know how to begin to answer that question." "Try." "Okay, um..." "I..." "I think I'm afraid of losing her." "Okay." "Why do you think that?" "(chuckles) Have you..." "have you seen her?" "Look at her. (nervous chuckling)" "Uh, she can have any man she wants, you know." "And if she's not happy with me, there will be a line of a thousand men just waiting, you know." "(sniffles)" "Uh... yeah." "And lately, it doesn't always seem that she's happy." "And that, uh... that terrifies me." "From the very beginning, like when we first met," "I've always... worried that she would just go through me." "You know, like that..." "What do you mean by that?" "By "go through you"?" "That she would... outgrow me, maybe." "Or figure me out or something." "So I've always had this sense that... that, you know, the day would come where she would just... where she would just not love me anymore, and... and I..." "I think I'm constantly looking for evidence that she..." "Evidence that she doesn't..." "doesn't love you anymore." "Celeste, how do you feel about what Perry just said?" "I gave up my career for you." "I-I..." "I left my family." "I left my friends." "I moved here for you." "You honestly think I don't love you?" "A couple of days ago, you said that you would leave me." "Wha...?" "(scoffs)" "What occasioned that?" "(sighs)" "Anybody?" "I grabbed her... (stutters) by the..." "I grabbed her by the shoulders pretty hard." "So, the idea that it's never gotten violent is, uh..." "I grabbed her hard." "And then she said that if I... if I ever do that again, she would leave me." "He frightened me and..." "Has this ever happened before?" "(Celeste sighs)" "(sniffles)" "Yeah." "Sometimes I lash out." "And, you, Celeste?" "What about me?" "Do you ever lash out?" "Yeah, when it gets physical, I fight back." "(sniffles) I do." "And how does that feel, when this happens?" "Not good." "I don't feel good about it." "Can you be more specific?" "I think I feel ashamed." " Ashamed...?" " Yeah." "We get angry." "We fight and we... we then have this crazy, angry sex." "(exhales)" "And then we make up, and it's... it's all better, and... (sighs)" "And we have this... dirty secret." "Hmm." " (chatter) - (Renata crying out)" "(moaning)" " (Gordon cries out) - (both shouting)" " (grunting) - (screaming)" "Fuck!" "Fuck me to the fucking moon and back!" "(both moaning)" " (thumping)" " Nippal:" "Thank you all for coming." "Okay, our first order of business today regards our Annual Fall Gala Fundraiser." "Now, given the unprecedented success of last year's Trivia Night with the theme "Dead Celebrities,"" "we've decided to come back again with yet another costume gala, this year titled" " "Elvis and Audrey Night." - (door opens)" "I think it should make for a splendid..." " (sotto voce) Oh, God." " ...evening filled with fun, fashion, frivolity, one which should raise some much-needed funding... and I'm looking at you, Bruce Pedulla... going to the benefit of all our wonderful, wonderful children." "Right?" "Right." "Okay, great." "Any questions?" "Yes, Mrs. Cunningham." "Thea:" "We all dress as either Elvis or Audrey?" "Same costumes for everybody?" "Yes." "Part of the fun will be seeing a different interpretation." " Do you know her?" " Nippal:" "Any other questions?" " I don't know." "Do I?" " Nippal:" "Progress." "Moving on." "(laughing)" "Of all the people they want me to pretend to be..." "Audrey Hepburn." "Great, I'll be the spitting image." " Nathan:" "Hey, Maddie?" " (Madeline sighs) Great." " Hi, Nathan." "Hello, Bonnie." " Hi." " Ed." " Nathan." "Um, can I steal you for a second?" "Mmm." "Um, it's about this whole Abby thing." "That was not my doing." "I'm as surprised as you are." "Okay." "So, are you... are you all right with this?" "I suppose at this point I have to be." "She has a very well-developed sense of self-awareness, so... if she thinks it's what's best, then..." "That's very mature of you." "We'll take good care of her." "Um, there's something that's a little off-subject, but not really." "Would you mind just discretely checking your husband right now?" "Do you see the way he's staring at me?" "I think he wants to fight me." "Don't be ridiculous." "Ed doesn't fight." "Maddie, I just wanted to say that I know that you're her mother." "And Abigail knows it, too." "I will never try to encroach, ever." "Sorry." " (crowd shouting)" " All right, good cut, Timmy." "Good cut." "You're all right." "Keep your eye on the ball next time, okay?" "Good cut, good cut." "Who's next?" " Come on." " Man:" "Come on, George." "Woman:" "Come on, Jessie." "You can do it!" " Do I have to?" " Yep." "Mm-hmm." "We talked about this." "I need you to try it once." "And if you don't like it, I'll never make you do it again." "I just wanna go play on the playground." "I know, but you might actually like it." " (nasally) Okay?" " (laughs) Okay." "(nasally) I love you." " Woman #2:" "Come on, guys!" " (cell phone buzzing)" " (whistle trills)" " Boy:" "You can do it, Blue!" "Hey." " Missed you at the meeting." " I know." "I'm sorry." "I'm at tee-ball with Ziggy." "Just trying to get him more involved." "Savor the moment because, trust me," " they grow up." " Are you okay?" "Abigail's decided she wants to go live with her father." "Jane:" "I'm so sorry." "Madeline:" "Now I don't have to cook all that vegan crap." "Hey, can I call you back?" "Ziggy's about up to bat." " Yeah, go." "Call me later." " Okay, bye." "Now, keep your eye right on the ball and swing as level as you can." "Okay, buddy?" "All right, here we go." " You got this, baby!"

"Slap me some skin!" "Oh, my God, you did it!" "Ah!" "You cannot ruin this one." "It's hand wash only, so make sure and tell Bonnie, or I guess you can tell your dad." "Maybe your dad does the laundry now." "Maybe he does." "I was thinking now that you are gone a little bit, maybe we could have some girlfriend time." "That'd be cool." "Are you ever coming back?" "Abigail:" "Yeah, of course." "I'm gonna come back all the time." "I made a playlist for you." "Are you trying to take my room?" "Can I?" "No, you can't." "Abigail:" "Maybe when I go to college, though." " We should go get pizza." " It's all right." "What are you talking about?" "Baby, you just hit a home run on your very first try!" "I think you're actually the first kid in history to ever do that." "(sighs)" "Come on, you have to be a little bit excited." "Did you see those parents' faces?" "Everybody was like..." "they were screaming!" "I was screaming!" "It was so good!" "We have to do my family tree." "No, that's not due for another week." "It's due tomorrow." "No." "No, it's due on the... the 27th, I think." "I put it in my calendar, 'cause I didn't wanna forget that..." "Oh, fuck." "What did you say?" "Nothing." "Sorry." "(whispering) Are you fucking kidding me?" " Hey." "God." " Hey!" " Thank you so much." " Do not worry." "We've got this." "Please, when Abigail was little," "I used to get everything late." "That's fine." "Hi, Ziggy!" " I heard you hit a home run today!" " Yeah." "That is so exciting." "Congratulations." "So, I organized some of the photos." "Here's Grandma and Grandpa." "Cousins, brother, more cousins." "I don't know if they're first or second, though, because I'm not sure who they..." "Okay, wait, first of all, we have to draw the tree." "That's the most important thing." "And they want it actually on the cardboard." "Here you go, honey." "The assignment said the child has to contribute." "Now, put the trunk on there." "And you're gonna be in the trunk, and then your mom and dad are then leaves." "And then we'll go from there." "What about my father?" "Um, we don't..." "We need to put him in here." "You don't have a dad, sweetie, so it's..." "it's okay." "We'll use Grandma and Grandpa, and me, and Great-Uncle Jimmy." "I still have to write my dad's name on the board." "Well, you know, I said that, but everybody's board is gonna be a little bit different." "You have to write down both of your parents' names." "I'll get in trouble if I don't." "No, you won't get in trouble." "I want you to put it down." "Ziggy." "What is his name?" "Just write it down!" "I don't know." "You know that." "I've told you this story so many times."
