"Mom?" "Yes." "Oh, God, you will never believe what he's gone and done now." "He's remarrying his first wife and he's taking the kids on a one-month honeymoon to..." " Wait for it...." "Europe." " Oh, honey." "I stopped watching those trashy soap operas in 1982." "Joe, Mom." "My trashy soap opera." "The one that is my life." "Oh." "Well, change is always difficult, but change is like the wind." "It's inevitable, and you can't hold it back." "Did you just hear what I said, Mom?" "Joe is remarrying his first wife." "You know how that makes me feel?" "I was a pit stop on their highway to eternal happiness." "Well, we must not turn these things inward." "It is not always about us." "Many times they reflect a more universal..." "Who are you?" "What have you done with my mother?" "Oh, I'm right here." "I just got these very wise books, that's all." "Oh, you've been browsing the self-help section again." "Well, what do you suggest?" "My son has disappeared, and I'm desperate." " Are they helping?" " No." "And since when does Joe get the kids for that long?" "Well, he doesn't unless I agree to it." "You know what really annoys me, Mom, is that he can suddenly afford a one-month honeymoon in Europe." " Who knew that Joe was just one stupid" " Hey, Mom." ""Washing and drying" jingle away from..." "Wait a second." "Joe wrote that?" "I love that song." "Mom, you've heard that." ""I'm not washing and drying, so stop screaming and crying." "Start spinning and grinning with twirl. "" "Yeah, I can't believe you let him go." "The guy's a musical genius, Sarah." "Really?" "Well, maybe when he puts out his first album, you could buy it for your girlfriend and you could..." " Oh, no, that's right." "She dumped you." " That's not funny." " In fact, that hurts me." " All right, that's enough." "Okay, okay, okay." "I gotta get back to work anyway and continue planning what we are now optimistically referring to as a unity party." "Oh." " Mom?" " Yes?" "I told you about it." "Sarah, I'm sorry." "I'm not gonna come." " Wait a second." "This is optional?" " No, it is not optional." "Mom." "Look, Sarah, I am so glad you went back to Ojai." "I really am." "But honestly, I don't feel compelled to celebrate happiness and unity as if everything is hunky-dory and no one has a clue where Tommy is." "Mom, we all miss him." "Of course, but we can't put our lives on hold." "This is about solidifying the transition, and I will be extremely disappointed if you choose not to support me." "Yeah, me too." "Well, I'm sorry, both of you." "I can't do it." "Hey, I didn't see you this morning." "Um, I had to leave early." "Rebecca, are you okay?" "Yeah, yeah." "I'm just really busy trying to help my mom with this party and..." "Are you sure?" "Because I feel like ever since I cooked you dinner the other night, you've been acting weird toward me." "Was it the chicken?" "Was the chicken that bad?" "No, it was good." "Look, I know I said some things that I probably shouldn't have said." "Yeah, like you were gonna vote with my mom" " to get back at the Walkers?" " Yeah." "I'm sorry." "Taking this job has really hit me a lot harder than I thought it was going to." "I mean, it is William's company, and, I mean, you know that I've been blaming him for my mom's death, and..." "God, I gotta quit laying this all on you and get a shrink or something." "You know what?" "Maybe we should all get a shrink." "Well, anyway, I was shooting my mouth off, and, uh, I'm sorry." "It's okay, really." "I mean, I kind of acted out as well when I went through what you're going through, so..." " Wait a minute." "You acted out?" " Mm-hm." "And what'd you do?" "It's a long story." "Hey, so, what's this thing tomorrow night?" "Do we really have to go?" "Well, we are the next generation of Ojai." "All right, well..." "Hey, as long as it's mandatory, do you maybe wanna go together, tag team?" "Um, yeah, okay." "Justin won't have a problem with that, will he?" "No, no." "Justin and I are friends." "Okay, great." "I will be there as soon as I can." "No, I will." "I will." "I promise." "No, he has not left yet." "He's..." "Okay, yeah." "No, that sounds great." "I will, um..." "I will talk to you soon." "All right." "Bye." "That's Kevin going on and on and on about Sarah's event at Ojai." "You know, she's really, uh, freaking out about it." "Kitty, stop." "You already told me you're not seeing him anymore," " you never slept with him." " I didn't." " Here." " What's that?" "Oh, it's just a little something to make your first day back at work a little easier." " Why would it be hard?" " Well, I don't know." "Maybe because you had a heart attack the last time you were there." "It's just a framed picture of Evan for your desk." "Thank you." "Wait." "Wait, wait, wait." "Sorry, sorry." " What?" "What?" "What?" "Yes." "Ms. Walker, your father's here." "What?" "Oh, my God." " Oh, my..." "Oh, my God." " Can I send him up?" "No." "Well, yes, yes." "Can you please just...?" "Just stall him for about two minutes?" "How?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "Ask him..." "Ask him..." "Ask him about the..." "The capital..." "Capital gains tax." " What?" " I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, but it's my dad." " Is that my cue to hide in the closet?" " No, this would be your cue to leave." "I'm very sorry to do this." "I was having a very nice time." "Kitty, dads tend to be impressed by me." "Yeah, well, but not this dad." " Sorry, I'll call you." "I'll call you." " Okay." "Okay, okay." "What am I gonna do?" "Come on." "I need a book." "I need a book." "Where's my book?" "Where's my book?" "Where's my book?" "Book." "Book." "Hey, Daddy." " Hi." "Hi." " Hi, sweetie." "You weren't supposed to be here until tomorrow." "I couldn't wait to see you, hon." " Oh-oh." "Am I interrupting something here?" " Oh, no." "No." "No, no, I was, uh, just, uh..." "I was reading." "This is a very good book." " You know, hanging out." " Well, good." "Then can I take you to dinner at that new place you told me about?" "I so hate to burst your bubble, but this isn't Pasadena." "You can't just get a reservation at Boulé just like that." "Oh, darn." "They're holding a corner booth for us in an hour." "No way." "No, you..." "How on earth did you do that?" "Oh, I love you, baby, but I'm not gonna tell you all my secrets." "All right." "Alec." " It is Alec, isn't it?" " Mm-hm." "Whatever the hell you and my wife have going on is irrelevant to me." "But what is relevant is that you never call my house again." " Look, I understand that you're angry..." " Oh, you can't begin to understand me." "So let me make myself perfectly clear." "I will do absolutely everything in my power to protect my marriage, and I'm a very powerful man." "Maybe that's your problem." "No, that's your problem." " Morning." " Morning." "You all right?" "Fine." "It's just that the last time I was down here..." "I know." "Come on." "Let's go up." "Surprise!" "Are you guys trying to put me back into the hospital?" "I told them jumping out and shouting "surprise"" "might not be the best way to welcome you, but you can blame Kitty for all of this." "Well, thank you, guys." "I mean, this is just..." "It's great to be back, and this place really feels like home." "So that's it." "Have some cake, have some coffee, because Andrew didn't write a speech for any of this." "Oh, no." " Hey." " Hey." "This is your idea?" "I really was on the phone with Kevin this morning." "You know, I have three months worth of work to do, so I should probably..." " I'm gonna go." "I'll see you later." " What?" "Come on." "That was the shortest surprise party in history." "Took longer choosing the cake than you did here." "He's got a lot of work to do, and I've gotta get back to Evan..." "So, uh, thank you for everything, and I'll see you tomorrow night at the Ojai party, right?" "Yeah." "Yes, Joe, I realize you gave up Christmas, but I still need to think about it." "Because a month is a very long time, okay?" "And I've gotta get my head around it." "Listen, I'm at work." "I need to call you back, okay?" "Thank you." " I can come back." " No, it's fine." "What is it?" "Well, you know how this party is all about boosting morale and showing that you and I are in sync?" "Yes." "Well, maybe we should do something memorable." "An open bar, good food, I think that's pretty memorable." "Sarah, everyone knows our history." "Why don't we shine a spotlight on it and make fun of ourselves?" "What I had in mind is doing a little number." " Number?" " A song and dance." "Oh, I forgot." "You're an actress." "Come on." "It would be fun." "We can make complete asses out of ourselves." " No." " Okay." "I guess you are in a terrible mood." " What's going on?" " Nothing." " Joe is getting remarried." " Oh." "Well, have you met the other woman?" " Oh, yeah, yeah." "His first wife." " Oh." "Apparently, he should never have left her." " Simple girl, simple needs." " Hmm." "Maybe I should learn to take it down a notch" " if I ever want to meet anybody." " That is a fool's errand." "No, you're right." "I couldn't be bothered." "You'll find the right person." "I finally did." "You just gotta go out there and make it happen." "Have you tried on-line dating?" "Oh, come on, Holly." "You're just trying to think up another way for me to make a complete ass of myself." "You'll see." "The employees would love it." " All right, I'll do the number." " Yes!" "Thattagirl." "And I have the perfect song." " Nora?" " What?" "I'm in the pantry." "Would you stop taking your anxiety out on those baked beans and tell me why you're Googling private detectives?" "I thought maybe I could find someone who would help me track down Tommy." "Has he been using his credit cards or cell phone?" "I can't sit hoping he'll walk through the door." "The answer isn't to go and get him and drag him through it." "He needs to come back on his own." "Stop telling me to let go." "I can't let go." "I can't do anything but..." "But wonder and worry where is he..." "Okay, that's fair enough." "Is that why you're not coming to the party?" "Oh, did they send you here to try to make me change my mind?" "No one sent me here, Nora." "I'm here because I'm worried about you." "I'm so scared for him." "I can't eat." "I can't sleep." "I have to do something." "Sweetheart, promise me you won't be surfing the web looking for some second-rate detective, okay?" "Well, do you know one you trust?" "I don't think we need one." "Oh, of course." "Hey." "I need you to call Wade and Gordon and get them the revised list of endorsements." "I need to know who my surrogates are at those San Diego fundraisers." "Sure." "Um..." "Is something going on between you and Kitty?" "Because this morning, you two seemed kind of..." "You know what?" "If you want to know what's going on, you should ask your sister." "I think you and I are way past that, and I'm not gonna get anything else done until you tell me what's going on." "Kitty and I are..." "She's seeing someone." "What do you mean?" " Well, I'm..." "Who?" " I don't know." "Some putz from the park with a diaper bag." "Oh, my God." "How far along is this?" "If you're asking me what base they're on, I don't know." "She could be screwing him right now I wouldn't know." "She's not gonna tell me." "So if you're looking for gory details, like I said, you should talk to your sister." "I don't know what to say." "Neither do I." " Do you want me to talk to her?" " Not on my account." "Well, do you want to get drunk or see strippers?" "I don't know what you straight guys need in this situation." "What this straight guy needs right now is for you to call Wade and Gordon." "Because if my work's all I'm gonna have left," "I'm not letting anything fall by the wayside." "Sure." "I'll call them right now." " Hey, is everything okay?" " Hey." " I came as fast as I could." " Uh, I hope so." "I got a letter from Santa Barbara." "The Admissions Office." "Is this about med school?" "Yeah, it's a..." "It's a dual program, so I can get my bachelor's at the same time." " You didn't even tell me that you applied." " No, I know." "I told you I wanted to be a doctor, though." "Well, why didn't you open it yet?" "Because you were at work." "Becca, you're the first person I talked about this to, all right?" " I'm not gonna open it without you." " Well, it looks thick." "That's good, right?" "You think I would have called you if it was skinny?" " No, no, no, come on." " Justin!" "Justin, give it to me." " I can't open it." " Stop." "I'm opening it." " No, no, please." "Seriously, I can't." " Okay, hold on, hold on." " Okay, okay." "Okay." " Okay." ""Dear Mr. Walker, it is our pleasure to inform you that you have been accepted. "" " Oh, my God." "Justin, you got in." " I got in." " Justin, you got in!" " I got in!" "I got in!" "I got in!" "I got..." "I am so proud of you." "Right." "Do we have to get up?" " What, you mean ever?" "Yes, ever." "Well, I think I'm pretty much free until the fall semester starts." " About last night..." " Oh, let's not." " Not what?" " Overanalyze whether it was makeup sex or congratulations sex." "Congratulations sex?" "I've never even heard of congratulations sex." "It's still complicated with our families." "Oh, I know." "Speaking of which, please do not say anything" " about med school tonight, all right?" " Why?" "It's just I've applied to better schools in other states, and I don't need my family weighing in on which ones I should go to, so..." "It would be pretty great though, up-and-coming med student, the high-powered Ojai board member on his arm." "Yeah, that sounds sexy." " Hmm." "Oh, God." " What?" "I told Ryan that I'd go with him." " You're kidding." " No." "As friends." "Wait, last week you're all, "I don't trust the kid,"" " and now you're like, "Poor Ryan"?" " It's complicated." "How is it complicated, Rebecca?" "He thinks that his mom killed herself." "What?" "William was with Connie the night before it happened, in Reno, and Ryan thinks that something happened there" " that pushed her over the edge." " That's cra..." "Does he have any proof?" "There were expense reports." "Your dad billed the hotel to the company." "Oh, no." "I know." "I know, Justin." "I wanted to tell you." "I did." "It's just not my place." "And I honestly don't know if it's true." "But if you don't want me to go with him," " No, no, no." " I understand." "Look, go with him, all right?" "Just go be his friend." "I mean, how could I say anything after that, like?" " Yeah." " Wow." "I'm sorry, but this is my future." " This is my baby's future." " Yeah, yes, it is." " And I don't want to make a mistake." " So what?" "So what?" "The world's supposed to come to a screeching halt while we wait for you to make up your mind?" "The only thing that is screeching around here is you." " Did you?" " Did I what, sleep with him?" " Yeah." " No." "But you want to know something?" "Anybody else in my position would have." "I mean, come on, Kevin, you know better than anybody that Robert has never completely let me in." "I mean, claiming that Evan and I are his first priority and then secretly going behind my back and running for governor?" "I know, I know." "You know what?" "This whole thing, it's confusing for me." "It's interesting." "You know, he reminds me a little bit of Dad." "And I refuse to forgive everything." "I refuse to just let everything go." "I don't want to be like Mom." "Doesn't having an affair make you more like Dad?" "I told you, Kevin," "I am not having an affair." "Look, I'm sorry that you feel like you're stuck in the middle, I..." "I don't feel like I'm stuck in the middle." "I think you are." "You're surrounded by extremely imperfect men who love you." "But I'm the lucky one." "Because you can't get rid of me." " Robert." " Nora." "You didn't tell Kevin I was here, did you?" "I didn't even know you were here." " Oh, right." "Could I?" " Please." "Okay." "Look, if this is about Kitty..." "What about Kitty?" "Is something wrong with Kitty?" " What?" " Did you two have a fight?" "No." "No." "I'm so sorry." "Please, tell me, what brings you here." "Robert, I know how you feel about using your office for personal favors, and I don't want to put you in an awkward situation." "When Justin was injured in Iraq, and no one could tell me anything," " you were the only person I could turn to." " It's fine." "Just tell me what you need." "I need to find Tommy." "Right." "Robert, you have access to people who can get information, and I'm going crazy." "I'm going crazy." "I'm trying not to imagine the worst." " No, no, no." "I'll make the calls." " Really?" "But, Nora, if I find him, you know, there's no guarantee that he's gonna want to see you." "I know he doesn't want to see me." "That's okay." "I just need to know he's all right." "I'll call you when I hear something." "Thank you." "Oh, Robert, thank you." "We are talking about a whack-job dictator who is stockpiling weapons of mass destruction, which, when he feels like it, he is using against his own people." "America is trying to put this lunatic out of business." "Could somebody please tell me why that is so wrong?" "We have time for one more caller." "Oh, great." "We have a call on Line 1 from Pasadena, California." "Nora Walker." "Hi, Mom." "I will give you thousands of reasons why that's wrong, because that's how many innocent civilians have been killed so far in this liberation scam." "I mean, honestly, Kitty, how can you defend this?" "I don't know." "It's called democracy, liberty, patriotism..." "Oh, blah, blah, blah, Kitty." "Okay, we are out of time, but thank you for calling." "And, uh, just for the record, I take after my father." "So we will be back right after the news." "Do you see?" "Do you see?" "She never calls me." "She never calls unless she wants to rant on my show." "Honestly." "Don't you ever want to tell her to put a sock in it?" "You don't really want me to answer that, do you?" "Besides, I'm lucky to have her." "Yeah, well, you're a saint, Daddy." "Sorry." "This is business." "Hello?" "No, I can't." "I'm in New York." "I'll have to call back." "Oh, you didn't have to do that." " I don't mind." " I do." "Unbelievable." "Is that the same person?" "Yeah." "Pain in the ass." "Hey." "I'm sorry." "You just..." "You look spectacular." "Oh, thanks." "You don't look so bad yourself." "Oh, thanks." "I threw on my wedding/funeral/unity party jacket." "Well, I think the board will be very impressed." "Yeah, that's kind of what I was going for." "You must have been at work at dawn this morning." "Oh, yeah." "I had a lot of work to do, so I stayed over at my mom's." " All right." "Well, I'm ready." " Hey, I just want to say, you know," " thank you for being my date." " Yeah." "So let's go." "Oh, there's Mom." "Mom." "Mom." " Hi." "You said you weren't gonna come." "Yeah, I know." "Sarah, I'm so sorry." "I was taking out all this Tommy stuff on you." "I'm here, and I want to be totally supportive of you." "Well, thank God for that, because at some point this evening," "I have to get up in front of all these people" " and sing a duet with Holly." " What?" "Why?" "Are you kidding me?" "She's not joking." "I need to put a mike on you." "Oh, God." "Okay, don't laugh." " Let's go." "Sorry." " Don't laugh." " Oh, no, no." "We won't laugh." "No." " Oh, yes, we will." "Sing a duet?" "She shouldn't do that to herself." "Kitty, uh, I talked to Robert today." "Okay." "It's..." "Just listen to me..." "No, shh." "Look, please don't tell anyone." "He's gonna help me try to find Tommy." "Oh." "Oh, really?" "What did you do?" "Did you browbeat him into it?" "No, he was so supportive and just there for me, and I've always been so hard on him." "He's a really good man." "Well, yeah." "No, yeah, he is." "Hey, I figured you'd be at the party." "Yeah, I figured you wouldn't be." "You talked to Kitty." " Yeah." " Yeah, how'd that go?" "Well, there was a lot of weeping." "Then Kitty told me to buck up." "Great." "We've got you exactly where you want to be, in the middle." "Look, Robert, I love this job." "But more importantly, I love you both very much." "So I have to assume that you'll find a way to figure this out, because if you don't, I'm gonna have to..." "Take sides." "Sure." "I understand how that works." "I'm a politician." "Does it help to be that cynical?" "No, not really." "Come on." "You're a senator." "Can't you get this guy drafted or something?" "He'd probably be 4-F." "I love her, Kevin." "I want my marriage to work." "So do I." "You know what the real tragedy is?" "I'd miss those Walker family meltdowns." "What time do they get started tonight?" "Ooh, two hours ago." " He kissed you?" " I said don't overreact." " How did this happen?" " I don't know." " I didn't know what to do." " Tell him we're back together?" "No, we said we weren't gonna tell anybody." " I'm gonna talk to him..." " Justin." "It's fine, all right?" "Just trust me." " Can I talk to you for a second?" " Yeah." "So, uh, you and Rebecca?" "It's not gonna happen." "That's funny, because we're on a date." "Mmm, no, you're not." "I know you didn't know this when you tried to kiss her," " but we're actually getting back together." " Really?" "Then why did she kiss me back?" "Wow, you're a real piece of work, aren't you?" "Is this thing that you have for Rebecca even real, or is this another way to screw with me and my family?" " What's that supposed to mean?" " I know, okay?" "I know." "I know about your bad feelings towards my dad." "I know that's why you work at Ojai." "That's why you made a pact with Holly to vote with her at all the board meetings." " You must have kissed up to Holly..." " I didn't kiss up to anybody." "She came to me." "There you are." "We're on." "I could kill you right now." "Oh, no, no, no." "You're just nervous." "Breathe, breathe." "Start the music." "You deliberately sabotaged the act." "You're lucky I didn't pull your sash off and choke you with it." " What did I do?" " You played me, Holly." "You manipulated me into letting Ryan on the board." "Why would I do that?" "I don't know." "You made some kind of deal with him." "What, did he promise you his vote?" "I don't have any control over his vote." "Why don't you give me some credit for how hard I work around here?" "The only hard work you've ever done is getting my father into the sack." "So what did you say to Ryan?" " I welcomed him to this company." " You made an alliance." "Please." "You think I'm in bed with Ryan Lafferty?" "Wow, not even I would go there, Holly, but now that you mention it, I wouldn't put it past you." "You are upset." "I understand." "Your husband is remarrying." " I would be upset too." " Really?" "Because I've begun to think that you're incapable of having genuine emotions." "The only way you know how to deal with people is to make a deal with them." "Sarah, wait." "Wait." "You're right." "I was just trying to get some security in Ojai because I was never gonna get it from you, right?" "You have never given me one reason to believe that I could ever be anything but your enemy." "You can drop the sensitive act." "The show's over, Holly." "So bottom line, you think that I am a sociopath?" " Borderline." " Well, you know what I think you are?" " No." "I can't wait to hear, though." " Unhappy." " Ryan." " Hey, you guys still fighting over me?" "Ryan, I had no idea it was a competition until tonight." "Yeah?" "Don't worry, after this evening, there will be no competition." "I'm gonna take care of myself." "Would you guys please stop it in here?" " Everyone can hear." " Excuse me." "You may want to go back to the party, because your guests are slightly freaked out." " Ryan, are you okay?" " Could you just leave us alone" " so that I can talk with Ryan and Sarah?" " I don't want to talk to you." "I don't trust you." "I don't trust any of you." " Ryan..." " I don't want to talk to you either." "You got me into this mess." "I'm gonna go to your house," "I'm gonna pack my things, I'll be gone in an hour." "Would you people just please leave me alone?" "I don't understand." "What happened?" " What would make him lose it like that?" " Clearly, he's in trouble." " Guys, I'm sorry." "This is my fault." " Justin, no, it's not." "It is." "You told me not to talk to him, and I talked to him," " and I'm sorry, Rebecca." " Well, talk to him about what?" "Nothing, Mom." "This is between me and Rebecca." "Justin, under the circumstances, if you have any information, come on." "He's right." "You should say something." "What do you know, Justin?" "All right." "We just need to give this kid space." "I mean, he's really messed up." "He thinks his mom committed suicide." " Well, she died in a car accident." " Well, he doesn't think it was an accident." "Oh, my God." " And here's the kicker." "He thinks Dad was responsible." " But Dad wasn't in the car." " Yeah, how is Dad responsible for that?" "He found receipts showing that Dad and Connie were in a hotel room the night before she crashed her car." "And he thinks that something happened that night that drove her to do it." "Well, where were they?" "Reno." "Okay, okay." "I will go to Reno." "Yes." "Connie, listen to me." "We'll talk about this when I get there." "I have to go." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to interrupt." " No, I'm sorry." " Well, it seems like you're dealing with a crazy person." "Well, this is what happens when you get into business with someone who wants to change the terms of the contract midway through." "So, what are you gonna do?" "Right now I'm just trying to terminate the relationship." "So why go to Reno?" "Damage control." "Rebecca's not here." "She's probably at Justin's." "Well, actually, I came to talk to you." "Look, I know that we haven't spent a lot of time together, but..." "What do you want?" "I know what you think happened to your mother." "If you came here to tell me I'm crazy, or I was out of line, then you can just..." "No, no, I came to tell you that I think you're right." "I think my father hurt your mother very deeply." "I, uh, heard him on the phone once." "He was talking to a woman named Connie." "And at the time, I thought it was a business deal gone south, but he was planning on meeting her in Reno, and I think he was planning on breaking it off for good." "I mean, look, I loved my father." "I loved him more than anything." "But when he wanted to, he could be a real tough son of a bitch." "I mean, he had these terms he judged relationships by, and if you tried to change them or you tried to change him, he just would simply cut you out of his life." "And so my mom must have been a real problem for him." "Yeah, I think she became one eventually, yes." "Well, thank you for telling me." "I really needed to know." "Yeah." "Yeah, so did I." "A hot tomato walks into a bar..." "Very funny." "Oh, it was the dessert, wasn't it?" "I knew the candied ginger was pushing it." "No, I loved the candied ginger." "Everything was perfect." "Thanks, Scotty." "I'm glad." "Although we did go a little over on the champagne, so your bill may unfortunately reflect that." "I'm sorry." "We should've alerted you when we opened the additional..." "Scotty, I don't care about the bill." "Okay, well, I wouldn't worry about what people heard." " I really don't think they heard that much." " It's not that either." "And it's not that Joe is getting remarried." "And the kids, they'll love Europe." " Who wouldn't?" " Joe's getting remarried?" "Yeah." "To his first wife." "Apparently, they're soul mates." "Sarah, you don't still want to be married to Joe, do you?" "Oh, God, no." "But I'm lonely." "That's what she sees." " Who is "she"?" " Holly." "Ah." "Busted by my nemesis." "Can you believe it?" "I want to meet my soul mate, Scotty." "Then what's standing in your way?" "It's not that easy, you know?" "I mean, I'm a single mom, I work all the time, I'm over 40." "No." "Excuses, excuses." "You just have to find a way, no matter what else is going on." "There's an amazing guy who has been waiting his whole life to meet you." "You just have to go out there and find him." "I mean, look at me." "I was living in my car when your brother and I finally got together." "He's not living in his car, is he?" "Well, all the best ones are." "Hello." "I know where he is." "You have a pen?" "Yes, I have a pen." "Where is he?" "Nora," " are you sure you want to do this?" " Yes, yes, I want to know." "Oh, hey, hit the swings, buddy." " Hi." " Hi." "I owe Ben a lot of ice cream." "He bet me that you'd be here today." "Oh, well, he's a smart kid." "I don't see Evan." "That can't be a good sign." "It isn't." "Alec, I don't even know what to say except" "I'm married." "Yeah, I thought it might come down to that." "Dad, look how high I can swing." "I should go." "Okay." " Bye, Kitty." " Bye." "Can I come in?" "About Ryan..." "For the record, I did not know his mother committed suicide." "I believe you." "Did he come in today?" "I don't know." "I'll call down." "Hey, Roy." "It's Sarah." "Listen, Ryan Lafferty didn't come in this morning, did he?" "No, no, just checking." "Thanks, Roy." "Well?" "He got here early." "I better start checking our options." " Good idea." " What about you?" "Oh, I've got some things I've got to process." "Oh, hey." "Hey, you're home." " Yeah." " I just, uh, put Evan down for a nap." "Oh, good." "I'll go peek in on him." "Wait, wait, wait." "Robert, I spoke with Alec." " It's over." " Good." "It is." "It is." "But that doesn't make our problems go away." "I don't recognize myself anymore." "I do not want to be unfaithful, and I certainly don't want to lie." "We have a son, and at the end of the road, it's not just gonna be us who's gonna get hurt." "It's gonna be him, and I don't want to do that." "I don't want to be my father, Robert." "I don't want to do that." "Just tell me what you think we should do." "I want to take a step back, spend some time apart." "I think that we both need some space so we can find our way back." "You're asking me for a separation?" "Umm." "I guess so." " I had a weird dream last night." " You did?" "Yeah, that your mother and my sister were singing show tunes in tomato-red dresses." "That's so bizarre because I actually had the exact same one, only in my dream, we found out we were orphans." "That's a good dream." "All right." "Tell me more." "Well, then we decided to sail off to Thailand." " There were pirates." " I like pirates." "I know." "Tell me yours." "Okay, mine." "I'm a doctor," "And you..." "You are an amazing photographer." "And on Sundays, we go for walks on the beach, or we can go hiking with our dog, Buster." "Does it have to be "Buster"?" "Marry me." "I'm serious." "Justin..." "That's the dream I want." "I want to be a doctor and I want to be a husband and I want to be a father, and it's all because of you, Rebecca." "Me?" "God, you make everything feel possible." "You make me possible." "Justin..." "You make me feel the same way." "Then marry me." "Yes." " Yes?" " Yes." " Yes?" " Yes!" " Really?" " Yes, I will marry you." "Oh, my..." "Yes." "Montevista."
