"Previously on Brothers and Sisters:" " I'm Amber." "I'm your new intern." " You slept with her." "You need $12 million to put back in the fund." "Where are we gonna find $12 million?" " We find out where Dad put it." " Somebody knows where that money is." "I can refer you to an accountant." " If you want to leave..." " Just because my brother is with the woman who was sleeping with my husband?" "For a long time I didn't know about you and William." "So many secrets he only shared with you." " Hey, boss." " We used to know each other." "San Marino High?" "I like you, and I feel completely and totally out of my league." "And the hardest thing is knowing when to give up." " Jonathan?" " He's gone." " Jonathan?" " He's gone." "It's Tantric." "It's exactly like..." "It is yoga." "Please don't talk." "Don't move." "If you move, something really bad could happen." " Like what?" " Don't talk!" "Just hold it." "Oh, my God, I'm gonna pull a hamstring." "This is the most uncomfortable position." "I promised one of my TTC friends I'd try it." " You have to move." "This..." " Shhh." "Get up and move." "OK." "Oh, Julia, there's got to be an easier way to make a baby." "God!" "What's TTC, anyway?" "Trying to Conceive." "It's online." "And this is what you talk about in your chat rooms?" "With strangers?" "Do I need to put a block on the computer?" " Ready for round two?" " Actually, no." "We don't have any time." "We got to go." "We've got to get over to Sarah's." "Uh-uh." "You're not going anywhere." " Dude, thanks for coming." " Sorry we're late, everyone." "We don't have much time to take control." "We have to stick together." "That's the important thing." "We should go on a road trip and vanish." "Yeah, for a year, how long it'll take for Mom to stop being mad at us." "No." "We have to stop this now, or it will go on for the rest of our lives." "What is the big deal?" "This is a benefit for the Pasadena Children's Hospital." "It's not the cause that's the problem." "It's Mom." "And the night is staggeringly long." "We have to be this nauseatingly perfect smiling family" " till four in the morning." " Lucky you haven't been to one." "Talk to her." "Tell her you don't want to go." "I agree." "What's the worst that can happen?" "Know what a war crimes tribunal looks like?" "I had to go to war." "She practically called the White House to get me back." "Look, Sarah's right." "We stick together, we're fine." "But if anybody cracks, we're sunk." "I was kind of looking forward to it this year." "The theme is Back to Broadway, and who doesn't love a musical?" " You are gay." " So?" "No one is going." "The company has to foot the bill, and we can't afford it." "We just can't be throwing money around right now." "OK, so I'm going to tell Mom." "All you guys have to do is hold your ground." "The tyranny of Nora's big night... is over." " Cheers." " Cheers." "What do you think the chances are I'm going to live with Mom and 18 orange cats for the rest of my life?" " Three to one." " Mmm." "So this thing you were talking about, how the company is paying for the benefit and not..." "Yeah." "Look, times are tough." "We've had to make some big decisions, sell off a few divisions." "A few divisions?" "Wow." " Well, that would be tough times." " Yeah." "It was all stuff Dad was preparing to do." "He just never got around to it." "Well, is the company gonna be OK?" "It won't be the company we grew up with, but it will be fine." "Listen, I need to be the one to tell Mom, OK?" "She'll understand why it's best if we don't go to this ridiculous fundraiser thing this year." "These... financial problems that you're talking about, did... did they have anything to do with Dad?" "They're not his fault, if that's what you mean." "OK, well, I got to go." "Let me know how it goes with Mom." " Good night." " Good night." " Thanks for the pizza." " You're welcome." "Drive safe." "Good night, thanks." " You should've told her." " Yeah." ""Hey, sis, you know your father, who you worshipped and adored and still preach about on national television?" "Well, not only was he an adulterer, he was also an embezzler who stole millions of dollars from his employees who worked tirelessly to make him rich in the first place."" "Something like that." "Yeah." "We're running out of time." "Finding a replacement master of ceremonies 48 hours before the event," " that's gonna be impossible." " I have a secret weapon I can tap." "A celebrity who's on TV." "Ooh." "Your entire brood is coming this year, hm?" "Kitty no longer has 3,000 miles as an excuse." "For the first time, all of my children will be there." "That's why we do it." "For the kids!" "Right?" "Uh..." "Would anyone else like some more coffee?" "I'm in desperate need of caffeine." "Harry, your assistance is required in the kitchen." "You're doing well, aren't you?" "I heard you already started dating." "What was that?" "Was that supposed to be charming?" "Was I supposed to melt when you put your hand on my thigh, or enjoy it so I would forget you're married to my friend, who's sitting across the table from us?" " I just thought..." " I doubt that, Harry." "And if you did, you thought very, very, very wrong." "I guess I just misinterpreted a signal." "Signal?" "I sent no signal, Harry." "None." "And I did not go out on a date." "The only resemblance it had was how disastrous it was." "Darling?" "Nora?" "Is coffee ready?" "Coffee's ready." "So I studied the records you sent me." "William Walker sold his stock to the company pension fund at an inflated price of $15 million." "Proceeds went into his bank account" " for less than 24 hours." " Then the money was wired out." "I could never find where, leaving us at a dead end." "Because you're not a forensic accountant." "The routing number on the transfer is registered to Prescott National." "Now, that's a bank in Nevada." "So does William have an account there?" "No." "The money went into an account held by Ricklean  Cabot." "It's a small brokerage firm at Prescott." "Nobody at Ricklean  Cabot knows about William, or they're not talking." "The best that I could do was determine the number of the account at R  C." "That's it, there." "Now, they've got a Web site so clients can view the accounts remotely." "Unfortunately, the trail stops at a password between five and eight characters long, with over a billion possible combinations." " In other words..." " The odds of you seeing that money" " are dependent upon one thing." " What's that?" "How well did you know your brother-in-law?" "The man fondled me under the table!" " Are you sure he didn't graze you?" " Cows graze." "This was a millimeter from heavy petting." "What have I done to make every member of this family think I'm a psychosexual hysteric?" "Apart from misinterpreting a dinner invitation from an employee as a date?" "You can't listen to Kitty." "Republicans don't share a relationship with the truth." "OK, where's the ad for the program?" "I have the printers saving an entire page for Ojai." "Actually, Mom, Ojai is what I want to talk to you about." "It's sensitive." "Sarah, I'm your mother." "There is nothing you could tell me I wouldn't take completely in stride." "Like when Kitty wanted to campaign for Reagan?" "That's different." "She was 12." "It was a security issue." "Just tell me." "Uh, OK." "Money's tight." "Sacrifices need to be made." "Well, I know 25,000 a table is very extravagant, but it's an extremely good cause." "Actually, Mom, it's..." "It's..." "Listen." "I know that you and your brothers would rather hammer nails into your foreheads than go to this every year." "Every year, I exert my maternal pressure to get you to go." " And do you know why?" " Sadism?" " Sarah, please, just listen to me." " OK." "One night every year, I get to play out this secret fantasy of mine." "I get to look at you all, this perfectly imperfect family that we are, all dressed up and beautiful, and I get to pretend we're that great American family." "Our own version of the Kennedys." "You know how that ended, right?" "All right, it's a dumb fantasy." "OK." "But it's my fantasy, and I don't know." "With everything that's happened this year, I just..." "I just need it." "Twenty-five thousand for the table?" "Last year the company gave 30." "I was thinking 40." " Thirty-five, not 40." " Thirty-five is good." " Tommy." " Hey!" "How are you, doc?" " Sorry to keep you waiting." " Yeah." "Hey, why'd you need to see me in person?" "Is everything OK?" "Please, have a seat." "When you came for your routine physical and requested we take a semen sample, what was your reason?" "What do you mean?" "I wondered if there were symptoms and you were hesitant to tell." "Men don't like to talk about it." "We want to have a baby." "I figured, we have sex... a lot." "And I thought it would have taken by now." "So before I go ask Julia if she can get tested, I just..." "I wanted to make sure it wasn't me, you know?" "As it happens, Tommy, your body isn't producing any sperm." "There's no easy way to say this, Tommy." "You're sterile." "You're the distillation of a liberal, and you have lost the interest of an entire nation." "So that's why I can't get a date." " You let him rattle you too much." " Oh..." "Right." "Yeah." "Thanks." "Don't be sarcastic." "Sarcasm is the refuge for people who know they are wrong and are on the ropes." "I'm not on the ropes, Mother." "We have to go shopping." "You need a dress." "You know, I have to get to work in a half an hour." "I don't need a dress." "I'm not going." "Mother, please don't look at me like I just confessed to a killing spree!" "Nobody is going to the event." "Nobody." "We all..." "All your brothers and sisters have confirmed." "They did?" "Mmm..." "Sarah did?" "She did?" "The first one." "She bought the table." "Kitty, listen to me." "If you are going to insist upon being this antisocial, non-participating, sad person all the time, people will think you're aloof." "Sarah, Mom totally nailed me." "Whatever happened to sticking together?" "I am so sorry." "I just..." "It was so hard." "She started going on about the Kennedys, and it was all over." "She did not use that Kennedy fantasy on you, and you fell for it." "You schmuck." "She's used that before?" "Oh, God, she's good." "You're gonna help me find a dress." "I'm tempted to make the company pay." " No, you won't." " Yes, I will..." " Tommy?" "Are you OK?" " Yeah, I'm fine." "Oh, Saul, you have to sit with Mom tomorrow night." "You can handle her at this thing." " I won't be..." " Oh, no." "You cannot get out of this, OK?" "It is your brotherly duty." "Yeah, well..." "I'll be sitting at a different table this year." "No, don't tell me." "I've asked Holly Harper to attend, I'll forgo your editorial." "Editorial?" "Saul, you're dating my father's mistress." "I can't imagine she's worth it." "I happen to believe that she is very much worth it." "It's not just that you're smart, you're cool." "Boy, that thing on the Geneva Convention in a moral universe?" "Wow." "She's right, Warren." "You skewered Kitty like a piece of chicken." " I'm sorry." "Hello." "It's Kitty." " Hey, how are you?" " Did you say "piece of chicken"?" " I meant a tough, insightful chicken." "I have to go do the... something." "I thought you were both fantastic." "Have a great weekend." "You too." " Actually, I was looking for you." " I was..." "I was looking for you too." " Really?" " Yeah." " Do you want to go first?" " I think you should." "OK." "Are you free tomorrow night?" "Well, there's this event that my mother is organizing." "It's dreadful." "Full of moneyed people..." " And you want me to work the door?" " No, I want you to come with me." "As in be your date?" "A platonic, no hand on my knee, I'll open my own door, placeholder kind of date." "But, yes, my date nonetheless." " It wouldn't be appropriate." " I'm sorry." "Did you just say that it wouldn't be appropriate?" " I've started seeing someone." " Really?" " Oh, wow." " The point is, even if we went and had a good time, I wouldn't be able to sleep with you." "Oh, no." "No, that's not the point, Warren, because I didn't ask you to sleep with me." "I just asked you to a stupid benefit." "And you know what?" "I take it back." "Hey, how are you?" "We are gonna rock the house, girlfriend!" "You know, it's kind of stuffy and pretentious, but the drinks are free and it's an excuse to dress up." "Sadly, I can't." "I'm..." " I'm working that event." " You're kidding." " I wish I were." " Can you get someone to fill in?" "It's not that." "It's..." "It's kind of a lot of money, Kevin." "Oh, OK." "Well, how much do you make on a night like that, 200, 300 max?" " I could reimburse you for lost wages." " I'm starting to feel insulted." "Oh, come on." "That's not why..." "You know, it's just, it's kind of a big deal for me, you know." "My whole family will be there." "I would like to have you sitting next to me," " you know, not serving ahi on toast." " Now I'm officially insulted." " Stop being..." " What?" " You offered to pay me to be your date." " It's not your primary job." "Whether it's my day or night job doesn't matter." "I'm a cater waiter." "You're going out with a cater waiter." "Unlike you, I take it seriously." "Paige, Cooper, I'll be right back!" " Don't do that!" "Ow!" "That hurt!" " Are you kids all right?" " Fine!" "Sorry, Grandma!" " I want another Polar Fudgie." " You had two." " Hey, Nora, wow." "You look great." " Thanks." " Did they give you much trouble?" "No, I like it when they destroy things." "It reminds me not to be too attached to material objects." " Please!" "Really!" "Stop!" " Has it been that bad?" "I don't care if they take the roof off." "Appreciate it." "Going rate for a sitter's 20 an hour, so..." "Look, Joe, anything I can do to help." "Sarah told me about the money issues." "Well, if anyone can keep Ojai out of bankruptcy, it's your daughter." "Bankruptcy?" " Yeah, I... thought when you..." " What's going on, Joe?" "I think that you should wait to hear from Sarah." "Whatever you're afraid of Sarah doing to you, I'm her mother." "It stands to reason I'm the one who taught her how." "How bad is it?" "It's pretty bad." "Payday." "Sun's shining." "I'm here for my moolah." "See what happens when you show up to work sober?" "I have to go to this crazy family benefit thing tonight..." "Sorry." "You're on the schedule." "You're working." " Julian's covering for me." " Then why'd you bring it up?" "I was wondering if, uh now that I'm a little less of a bonehead, if maybe you've found me more attractive?" "Is that your way of asking me to go with you?" "Maybe." "No, they have great food, and it's kind of weird and cool." "This is sort of last-minute, Justin." "I don't..." "You're the boss." "You're the man." "You can take off." " Is it super formal?" " No, it's LA." "Nothing is formal." "You'd look great in a toga." "You'd look really great in a toga." "It's for a great cause." "I mean, it's a kids' hospital." "It'll be rocking." " It's a date." " Great." "So I'll pick you up at seven." "Write the check." "Everyone has stepped up." "Want me to tell you're tapped out 'cause you bought a boat?" "Twenty-five thousand." "Yes, yes." "You're the best, Carla." "Thank you." "Does anybody ever tell you to bugger off?" " We have to talk." " You hate the dress?" "It's about Ojai." "Something horrible is going on with the company, and Sarah is afraid to discuss it." " How did you know?" " How did you know?" "And why am I the very last person in this family to find out everything?" "Because, Mother, you're so chill." "Look, money is tight, and they're maybe gonna sell one of the divisions or something." "But I talked to Sarah, and everything is gonna be fine." "Joe made it sound a whole lot worse than that." " Joe told you?" " He let it slip, but I can't get him into trouble." "So you have got to talk to Sarah and find out what's going on and get her to come to me." "Remind her how understanding I can be." "What?" "Wow." "Somebody went shopping." "Before you look at the price, I want you to know" "I'm not keeping them both." "So, what do you think?" "It's fine." "Just like the other six black dresses in your closet." "Are you gonna be like this all night?" "It's just one evening, and it's important to your mother." "Unzip me, please." "I thought of a name today." "Henry." " Henry William." "What do you think?" " Could be rough on a girl." "Girls' names are harder." "Even the classics sound so trendy." "Emily, Olivia, Alexandra." "I want something unique." "Maybe something with an N for your mother." "Tommy?" "What is it?" "You look gorgeous, that's all." "I'm gonna hop in the shower." " We just walked in." " Oh, hi!" "Hi, Joe." " Oh, gorgeous." " How are you?" "Sarah, I've been trying to call you all day." "Mom told me that the company is in real trouble." " She what?" " Yeah, apparently Joe told her." " Joe told her?" " He didn't mean to." "He didn't know you hadn't spoken, and you can't be mad at him." "Oh..." "Joe?" "Hi!" "Amber." "Wow!" "Kitty, this is so exciting!" "Yeah!" "No, it is." "It is exciting." "What are you doing here?" "Are you bringing me research or something?" "You're so funny, Kitty." "No, I was asked at the last second." " Asked." "Asked by whom?" " Oh, um..." "Oh, hello, Kitty." "You look wonderful." "Oh..." "Thanks." "Thanks, Warren." "Warren, Warren, thank you." "Thank you, thank you so much." "Why are you thanking him, and why are you kissing him?" "Howie Mandel dropped out." "I had to ask Warren to be our emcee, and he stepped in like the white knight that he is." " Really." " Oh, that's great." "Kevin." "Kevin!" "Sarah, Joe." "Oh, look at my children." "You look so beautiful." "I think it's time." "Shall we make our entrance?" "Welcome to the 20th annual" "Pasadena Children's Hospital Fund benefit." "I am your emcee, Warren Salter, and even though I play a pundit on TV, tonight we are here not for politics, but for children." ""For the children"?" "That would explain why he brought one." "Last year, Nora Walker and her tireless..." "Look at it all!" "We did it!" "... raised over $200,000." "That's a wing..." "I'll talk to you later." "Kevin, Scotty's here." "He's working." "You should talk to him." "Yes, I will." "Thank you, Mom." "Excuse me." "Tonight, we plan on doubling..." "Get your sister to talk to me." "I am not doing you favors." "How could you ask that man to host?" " How could you do such a thing?" " I had no choice." "He's the only D-level celebrity I know, other than you, with all due respect." "Honey, you can't be mad at people for who they bring to this." "It's such a great cause." " Let's not get ahead..." " Nora." "Hi." "You look so pretty." "Hello, Nora, Kitty." "You both look so stunning this evening." "Let's go back to Broadway." "Oh, time to sit already." "Well, I don't want to be rude." "All right, well, I'm sure we'll see you later." "Well, Mother, you can't be mad at people for who they bring to this." "It's such a great cause." "No." "Please, tell me you didn't." "Justin." "Justin!" "It's a black-and-white ball." "Are you colorblind?" "I can't stay here." "Take me home now." "Wait." "Wait a second." "We're sitting at the Wicked table." "I'm in green." "They'll think I'm the Wicked Witch." "Just wait." "Just..." "Don't worry." "OK?" "Here." "Put this on." "Nice move." "Did you see that in some movie?" "Yeah." "The one where the guy gets the girl." "They look hungry at Camelot." " Could we talk for a second?" " I'm working right now, and you don't want to get caught talking to the help." "OK, you're still mad." "I get it." "I have to make sure that everyone at Pippin gets their drinks." "We'll talk about it later." "OK?" " Well, can I have one?" " I'm not your waiter." "Get it yourself." "I can't believe you told Mom." "All I know is you told me you were going to tell her." "Well, one might be more careful when one casually drops a word like "bankruptcy."" " You have got to talk to Mom." " Kitty, it's not that simple." "Goodie." "There you are, Kitty." "Warren said we're dining with you." "Oh, that's great." "That's great." "You could..." "Yeah, there's a seat right over there for you." " Did she just say "goodie"?" " Yeah." " Hi, everybody." " Hi." "Oh, Julia, you look beautiful!" "Hey, everyone, this is Tyler." "She's my boss." "Tonight I'm just his inappropriately dressed date." "No, don't tell me." "Someone forgot to tell you it was a black-and-white event?" " Oh, Kevin." "Did you see Scotty's here?" " Yeah, I know, I know." "Thank you." " Oh, no, I'd better not." " You sure?" "You may need it for the live auction." "Is there something you guys want to tell us?" " No." "Not yet." " Honey..." "Have you guys decided to start trying?" "I'm hoping to be pregnant by Christmas." "Paige was asking for a cousin." " Really?" " This is wonderful news." "Wonderful!" "I think it calls for a toast." "Everyone, please raise your glasses." "To Tommy and Julia, who are going to fulfill their end of the bargain and give me lots of beautiful grandchildren." " Thanks." " Tommy and Julia." "Yeah, cheers." " I got to go to the bathroom." " OK." "You must be Mrs. Walker." "I've heard so many things about you." " From Kitty?" " No, Warren." " Amber, you want to... dance?" " Sure." "I love old music." "How old is she?" "Where did Amber just go?" "They just opened up the kids' buffet." "Mm." "It's funny." "Come on." "If you're going to insult me, at least do it on the dance floor." "Well, I can do that." "Look, I know we barely know each other, but could you please be honest with me?" "Sure." "I'm a bad liar anyway." "If you were kind of dating this guy and he said he would pay for you not to come as a catering waiter to this event tonight but as his date," " is that so bad?" " Yes." "OK, let me rephrase that." "If a guy you were kind of dating..." "You can't buy someone's time." "It's all tied to pride and the work ethic, like Sigmund Freud said." "What did Freud say?" "He said, "Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness."" "Wow." "Do people underestimate you a lot?" "It goes with the hair." "Yeah, I mean, I just met her, Mom." "She's my boss." "Having fun?" "You seem..." "You all right?" " Yeah." " May I cut in?" "I'm so sorry, Harry." "I'm trying to catch up with my son." "We're all caught up." "Go for it, Mr. P. Enjoy." "Harry, I'm telling you, if you make a fool out of me, I'll cut your nuts off." " I think we should try something." " What would that be?" "A ménage?" "No, it's called a truce." "When did she happen?" "What...?" "How did she happen?" " I know she's younger." " No "er." Drop the "er."" "I can't believe I broke up with him." "I ended an engagement only to find out that you're dating Malibu Barbie." "You broke up with Jonathan because of what was wrong with you two, not because of what was right with us." "Don't spin it now that you're available and I'm not." "Oh, OK." "You're right." " I am?" " Yes." "And I'm sorry." "You are?" "Is it hard to believe I have the capacity to acknowledge" " that I might be wrong about something?" " Do you want me to answer that?" "No." "I just want you to keep on dancing." " I've been looking for you." " Hey, sorry." "I just..." "I was getting claustrophobic." "I didn't mean to embarrass you." "I just..." "Having a baby's all I think about." "I thought you'd feel more comfortable if you saw your family's reaction." "You're just not ready, are you?" "Is that what you think, Jules?" "I want this baby so bad." "Tommy?" " Can we go somewhere more private?" " Yeah." "You have no idea how badly I wish I could fix this, do something." " How long have you known?" " Since yesterday." "I am so sorry I let you down." "I'm sorry." "It's not your fault." "Tommy, having children with you would make me the happiest woman in the world, but I don't care how we have them." " God, I love you." " I love you." " Tommy?" " Yeah?" "What are you doing?" "So it was a bad idea offering to pay?" "Not if the person you offered to pay is a hooker." "Yeah, you're right." "La Bamba is my cue to leave any dance floor immediately." "Sorry." " Go, twinkle toes." " Your brother is getting very drunk." "I know, and it's so cool it's not me, right?" "Whoa." "Not too bad." "I've really got to go." "I've got..." "That's..." " I don't think your sister is happy." " Oh, give her time." "No, I don't mean it that way." "She looks... afraid for her life." "She's dancing with Harry Packer." "She should be." "Oh!" "Harry." "Harry, you are on thin ice, and you're jumping up and down!" "I like it when you're stern with me, Nora." " Harry!" " Harry!" "Margaret." "Margaret, I'm so sorry you had to witness that." "So am I. One of my very best friends making a pass at my husband!" " Margaret, I can explain this..." " Shut up, Harry!" "We're going home." "Margaret..." "And I defended you." "Illana Sparrow told me." "She said you'd go after someone else's husband before Christmas." " What?" " I didn't think it'd be mine." " Mom?" " Oh, God, Nora." "Tommy!" "Like mother, like son." "No sense of decency." "Is that my mink?" "On a professional level, I'm asking you, please leave me alone right now." "All I wanted to do was to take you to a nice dress-up party with my family," " and it's turned into a quagmire." " Can we talk when I'm not at work?" "I never get like this, OK?" "I never lose control over anyone." " I should be flattered?" " Yes." "So could you please forgive me so I can stop getting drunk?" "I promise, I'll never offer to pay for anything ever again." "Not a dinner or a movie or not even a parking meter." "OK." "Enough." "I forgive you." "Really?" "Scotty Wandell." "That's it." "You're fired." "It's OK." "Wait here." "Even wasted, I can handle this one." "Stations four and five need bussing!" "I am sorry to fire your boyfriend back there..." "Scott's not just my little boyfriend, he's also my client." "I'm an attorney." "I'd have done the same if you were a chick." "Would all your employees confirm that?" "First thing tomorrow, we'll be asking them." "After scheduling the depositions." "I'll leave yours to last 'cause you'll be way too busy answering interrogatories we'll be serving." "Maybe I should have given Scott a warning first." "My fault." "Maybe." "Speaking as a guest, Scott's a really hard worker." "So if I were you, I'd give him a raise." "I can't tell you how beautiful you look tonight." "Really." "Look at this." "Everybody's staring at you." " I hope that's not because..." " No, please." "Don't be silly." "You look gorgeous." " I'll be right back." " OK." " I'm going to go powder my nose." " Is that your daughter?" " Yeah." " What's her name again?" " Her name's Becky." " Becky!" "That's right." "Becky." "And she's in college, right?" "She was, but she is now doing an independent study," " if you know what I mean." " Beautiful." " I'll be right back." " OK." "Rebecca." "Rebecca." "Darn it!" "Have you got a bobby pin?" "I thought I put one in here." "Sorry." "It would take more than a bobby pin to fix this evening." " Have you got children?" " Four of them." "All grown now." "Oh, so are mine." "But not tonight they're not." "No, no, no, tonight they're not grown." "They're monsters, and you want to know why?" "Because their father was a fornicating cheat who kept a harlot for years, and now they're furious." "You want to know what else?" "The fornicatress is amongst us tonight, brought by my brother." "How do you like that?" "My brother married my sister-in-law, after she had married my uncle." "And they all ended up in jail in New Mexico for selling the mushrooms." "Holly." "Nora, here." "If you're really in a pinch, you won't mind sharing." "Oh, I think I've shared quite enough with you already." "I don't know what the etiquette is in our situation, but at what point am I allowed to be rude back?" "You'll forgive me if I don't know what to do about you." "Well, stop seeing me as the woman who slept with your husband." "See you as the woman who is manipulating the affections of my brother?" "Don't you want your brother to be happy?" "The sad thing is, Nora, neither one of us really got what we wanted." "And next up, the big-ticket item, a family vacation to New Zealand." "Outbid your friends without guilt." "Speaking of guilt, how was the public sex?" "Speaking of guilt, how was the public sex?" "Oh, shut up." "Justin, please." "It's not funny." "We're literally laughingstocks." "Don't be ashamed." "A good sex scandal never hurt anyone." "It's very Kennedy, to be part of some luridly glamorous sex scandal?" "There is nothing amusing about anything that's gone on." "Nora, I am so sorry." "I am beyond mortified." "Julia, could you please stop apologizing?" "Could we all just stop pretending that we're perfect people?" " Just for 14 seconds?" " That would be great." "Remember, unbelievable countryside, fine dining." "Sarah, you have no reason to be angry at your husband." "I forced it out of him." "I'm sure your sister has told you I know everything." "You don't know anything." "If the company's in trouble, if you have done something you should tell me..." "We've done something?" "I shouldn't be in the dark." "It wasn't your father that built Ojai." "It was me too, raising you kids all by myself that afforded him the luxury" " to build a company." " Company?" "If we have a roof over our head in three months, we'll be doing very well." "No." "No, no." "If it were that bad, your father would have told me." " Because he shared so much?" " Sarah." "The company is dying, Mom." "Now, if you want to blame me, blame me." "Or perhaps, in your all-knowing wisdom and mother-ness, you could save it somehow, so that we could keep coming to this wretched event year after year." "Going once." "Going twice." " Sarah!" " Sold!" "To the lovely and generous Mrs. Nora Walker for $25,800." "Ooh!" " No." " Yeah." " Mom." "Mom, you bid." " No, no, I didn't." "No, no, no, no." " You bid." " I didn't, I didn't." "Listen, I always wanted to see New Zealand." "No one knows us." "Maybe we could move there." "No?" "Sarah." "Joe, could I have a few moments with my daughter, please?" "You walked into it, didn't you?" "When you joined the company, you didn't know what you walked into?" "Yeah." "Dad sold a million dollars worth of stock back to the company, but he inflated the value." "Ojai paid $15 million for it." "Fifteen million dollars we can't find." "Fifteen million?" "He used the pension fund to cover the shortfall." "Saul tried and tried to hold it together, and so did I, and so did Tommy." "But we're sinking fast." "Oh, God." "Oh, Mom." "I never knew anything could be this hard." "We can't catch a break." "There's never any good news." "I work and work and I miss my children, and I don't recognize myself anymore." "Oh, I'm so sorry." "I'm so sorry I wasn't there." "You never ask me for anything." "You act so self-sufficient all the time." "I got that from you, Mom." "I watched you power through life." "You had Kitty to fight with, Kevin to admire, Justin to baby," "Tommy to lean on." "What were you thinking about me all that time?" " What was I thinking?" " Mmm." "I was thinking..." "I was..." "I am in awe of you, Sarah." "You became the woman I always wanted to be." "And you did it all without losing your softness or your goodness." "I love all of my children." "But I have so much respect for you, Sarah." "All that, and you gave me two of the most perfect grandchildren on Earth." "You're not a daughter, Sarah." "You're the damn trifecta!" "You rock, Mom." "You just do." "You should go and find your sister." "She needs you now." "Your family needs you." "What are you talking about?" "I can't leave you." "I'll grab a taxi." "Imagine that we're in New York." "You'd think nothing of it." "Go on." "I'll be upset if you don't." "It's been a wonderful night." "It has." "Oh..." " Compliments of the management." " Fabulous." " Hey, all, what's the skinny?" " Scotty, how nice." " Would you care to dance?" " No, I don't want to go inside." "Who said anything about going back inside?"
