"You're gonna have to leave now, or I'm pretty sure I'm gonna kiss you." "Mom, there's no way that..." "I mean, he couldn'T... oh, god, no." "William walker was your father." "Not even gonna say good-bye, are you?" "Was I that bad?" "No, you were far from bad." "We will not stop until we get to the white house!" "what took you so long?" "the 405 was jammed."

" Oh, thank you." "I can't believe how much bras have improved while I was married." "I can't miss his speech." "Oh, it'll be a while." "Are these important?" " Depends." " On what?" "On if the profits from our china deal going up is arousing to you." "Apparently, it is to you." "Why do republicans have so many winner-take-all primaries?" "Because they hate weakness." "Even if you come a close second, you have to be culled from the herd." "It's so darwinian for people who don't believe in evolution." "Yeah, at least we're decisive." "You guys are so sensitive, you split your delegates so nobody gets their feelings hurt." "Oh, no." "They just called illinois for taylor." "How many delegates is that?" "Uh, 57." "That's not good."

"I can't believe you guys were totally making out like teenagers." "We were not." "We--we kissed one or two times." "Don't make so much of it." "Mccallister won california!" "Okay!" "Okay!" "taylor's waiting for you to give your speech." "You're good to go." "you ready?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I'm--I'm-- I'm ready if you are." "Okay." "I'm proud of you." "Thank you." "Thank you, california!"

" you're still up?" " Yeah." "They keep replaying it over and over." "I keep hoping it'll turn out differently." "I just got off the phone with congressman taylor." "I congratulated him on all of his victories." "no, no." "He ran a great campaign, and he deserves our respect." "Tonight he crossed the threshold." "He has the delegates to be our party's nominee." "And so, tonight I am suspending my campaign for the republican nomination for president." "How are they?" " Robert and kitty?" " Yeah." " I still have the honor of being your senator." " They're strong." "isaac?" " I'm just resting my eyes." " Yeah." "You don't have to get right back to washington, do you?" "Mm, no."

"It's a hormone, so the usual-- mood swings, irritability." "Mm, great." "So just like I showed you." "Quick jab to the hip." "Okay." "And your job is to relax." "Okay, just--just make sure that you do exactly what she says." "Okay?" "Is this you relaxing?" "By the way, I voted for you." "Thank you." "Okay." " What?" " Well, I wasn't ready." " You said okay." " "Okay" means okay." ""go" means go, robert." "Okay, this is so hard." "You'll get the hang of it, and I'll see you in a week." "Thank you." "are you all right?" "yeah." "You know what?"

"What do you say you and i go out to dinner tonight to vincenti?" "Yes." "Yeah." "Why--why don't we invite isaac and mom?" "She loves that place." "No, I-I think she has a previous engagement." "Isaac said something about a special dinner." " Really?" " Yeah." " How special?" " I don't know." "Oh, you know there's a special dinner, but you don't know why?" "Okay, he swore me to secrecy." "Oh, really?" "Well, you're gonna tell me, robert, or I am going to inject you with so many hormones that you will, in fact, grow boobs and sing soprano."

"Cleaning out the junk drawer." "That's quite a project." "I save too much stuff." "Um, your briefcase is there, right by my laptop." "Uh, is something wrong?" "We're still on for dinner, right?" "I don't know." "Are we?" "God, why do I have so many rubber bands?" "Kitty thought it would be good for me if I started reading some of the republican blogs you like so much." "It's a good picture of you, don't you think?" "I was going to tell you." "When?" "When you move back to D.C.?" "Look, you have every right, isaac, to take a professorship if you want-- adjunct." "Just twice a week." "I just think it would have been nice had you told me before I read it online." "I'm sorry, but I've been here almost three months, and I keep making excuse after excuse not to go home." "Well, then go!" "Go." "please." "I'm cleaning out everything today--rubber bands, you." "I'll be like a B.B.In an empty box, rolling around this giant old house, but go." " Nora, I want you to come with me." " What?" "I know we haven't known each other that long, but-- you want me to move to D.C.With you?" "I do." "That's why I was gonna make dinner for you tonight-- so I could ask you." "I don't know what to say." ""Yes" is what I was hoping for." "Brothers  Sisters Season02 Episode13" "Mom move to washington?" "that'll never happen." "Oh, well, we never thought that she'd get busted for smoking pot, either." "There is no way that she's gonna leave paige and coop, much less what you've got going on in the oven." "I hope something's going on in the oven." "Oh, come on, kitty." "It will happen." "You already sound hormonal-- all this worrying about mom, who isn't moving-- you're right." "I'm just being overly anxious." "Uh, saul's here." "I gotta go." "Oh, you know what?" "You better not say anything." "Of course I won'T." "Bye." "Isaac's asking mom to move to washington with him." "Well, obviously, he doesn't know anything about your mother." "Listen, have you seen graham's proposal?" "The profit margin is through the roof.If he wants us to-- what makes you so sure mom wouldn't move to washington?" " And you're not listening to a thing I'm saying." " Sorry." "Are you gonna be at your mother's tonight?" "Whose birthday is it, anyway?" "The new one--rebecca." "Ok." "We'll talk then." "Uh, who would have the parties if mom moved to washington?" "She's not going to washington." "She wouldn'T." " And have holly sign these, too." " yeah." " Hello?" " Want to hear something outlandish?" " Ooh, I love outlandish." " What?" "isaac wants mom to move to washington with him." "He's asking her tonight." "What is he, crazy?" " Hi, tommy." " Hey." "You don't think mom wod really leave paige and coop, do you?" "Hello, what about elizabeth?" "Oh, get a grip." "She'd never leave me." "Someone should call justin and see if he knows anything." "I mean, he lives there." "Yeah, it's ringing." "She's not moving." "She doesn't have any winter clothes." "Hey, justin, have you heard about this whole isaac-asking-mom- to-move-to-D.C.Thing?" "No way." "Yeah, justin hasn't heard a thing." "Wow, I hope she lets him down easy." "This is never gonna happen." "I don't know." "Have you seen how happy she looks with him?" "Sarah, ts is mom we're talking about." "She'd never leave that house." "Come on, it's impossible." "All right, that's insane." "I gotta go." "I'm on the other line." " All right, bye." " bye!" "She invited my mom over to bake." "Can't you stop this?" "No." "I mean, look, you cannot get between nora and a birthday party." " So that's it?" " Yep." "Welcome to being a walker." "All right, see you later." "all right, that's it." "You guys have to come." "Do you really think that's appropriate?" "Appropriate?" "It's my birthday, and he's a family friend." "I-I know, but-- why wouldn't it be appropriate?" "Fine." "We'll introduce david to the walkers." "It'll be fun." "I'm sorry i spoiled your surprise." "It didn't occur to you I might ask?" "Oh, I don't know." "I..." "I thought maybe we would travel back and forth." "Hey, nora, I've lived out of a suitcase for 30 years, and I want to settle down, and I want you there with me." "mom?" "Mom?" "In here." "Why it so dark in... here?" "Oh, uh, sorry." "is there something you need?" "Uh, me?" "No." "Then why are you here?" "because... me and justin and kevin are going to play golf tomorrow, and I wanted to know if isaac wanted to join us, make it a foursome." "That sounds great." "Good." "Great." "Okay, well, I'm gonna go make a-a sandwich before I go." "So where were we?" "Oh, I brought some pictures of my place in georgetown." "oh, isaac." "You really don't need to sell me." "Although..." "And I want to show you "mary."" "Who's mary?" "My sailboat." "Hello, "mary."" "Oh, tommy!" " What are you doing here?" " What?" "Quiet!" "It's going down, okay?" "Isaac'in there." "He's making the whole sales pitch-- candlelight, the whole thing." "Has mom said no yet?" "I don't know, but she looks kind of pissed." "That's good." "That means they're fighting." "who's that?" " It's kevin!" " What?" " What's he doing here?" " No reason." "Whose, uh, gorgeous townhouse is this?" "I mean, is that an original fireplace?" "I had it restored a feyears ago." "This--this is your house?" "And this is his sailboat, too." "Tommy, what are you doing?" "Tommy's here?" " uh, sarah knocked a pot off the stove." " oh, what?" "Sarah's in there, too?" "hi, mom!" " Kikitt - hello!" "what is going on?" "Sorry, I--oh!" "Isaac, hi." "What is this, just some sort of colossal coincidence that you're all here interrupting my romantic dinner?" " No, sorry- - that's not true." "I came to tell isaac about golf." "Kev, right?" "What golf?" "Kev, the g-- oh, too bad justin isn't here." "Then I could tell everyone at once." "What are you doing here?" "Uh, I live here, pant-load." "Y-y--all right." "Okay." "S-since you all seem to be here for no discernible reason," "I might as well tell you all what I have to say." "Um, isaac has asked me to move to wasngton with him." " Really?" " Wow, that's" "Obviously, that kind of change in my life would be unsettling." " Yeah." " sorry, man." " the grandchildren, they'd be devastated." " sorry, bro." "Which is exactly why I think I should say yes." "Yes?" " Yes?" " Yes." " What?" " Yes." "Yes?" " no, no." " Yes." "hey, looks like a beautiful course." "Appreciate the invite." "It's our pleasure." "Yeah, we figure we better, uh, get to know the guy who's shacking up with our mom, right?" "that's right, just ask him a few questions." "I got one." " Who's going first?" " You are." " It's all you." " Yeah, take your time." "Hopefully, I can pull a muscle before it's my turn." "so, uh, so how--how big is your house, isaac?" "'Cause mom, you know, she comes with a lot of knickknacks and... pillows." "Oh, I think I can make room." "You got a backyard, right?" "'Cause, uh, mom loves her gardening." "it's more like a courtyard." " Courtyard." " Courtyard, yeah." "Well, you do have a pool, right?" "'Cause mom, you know, she swims every day." "Oh, kind of... a little birdbath." "No pool." "can't afford a pool, huh?" "How much do you owe on the townhouse?" "I'm sorry." "I-I manage mom's financial affairs." "I just don't want her taking on any more liabilities than she already has." "It's paid off." " Paid off." " it's paid off." "so has mom said anything to you about selling her house?" "How many ounces are in 2 cups?" "Uh, 16. 2 cups in a pint." "Oh, when I think of all the birthday cakes I've baked in my lifetime." "I always go store-bought-- a good store, but still... ooh, that sounds liberating." "I still have to make the lasagna." "Why is it everyone's favorite dish is homemade pasta?" " well, I've got plenty of numbers." " Really?" "Very tempting." "I remember the last time we were around a cake." "All right, I threw it in your face." " Bui recall a bowl of peas headed in my direction." " True." "We've come a long way." "Well, we both have men in our lives now." "Luckily, not the same one." "are you really moving to D.C.?" "I guess so." "I even called a real estate person this morning." "That's serious." "I didn't know I was gonna say yes." "Really, just there was this wonderful man offering me A... a new chapter at my age, a-a whole new life, all I had to do was say yes." "It just seemed to fly out of my mouth." "W-what about you?" " You're-- you're dating a director?" " David." "I hope you don't mind that we're bringing him." "No, no, no." "Rebecca likes him, right?" "Mm, yeah." "They're fast friends." " You don't sound happy." " No, no." "It's just, um, well, it's not exactly what I expected." "holly, I am so glad that I have gotten to know rebecca-- not st because that's what william would have wanted." "If he could see us now." "Yes, baking a birthday cake for his daughter." "Yeah." "What you doing?" "Oh, your mom wants dimmer switches." "Dimmer switches?" "God, you guys are getting more romantic every day." "Yeah, unless I electrocute myself." "So you guys are definitely coming tonight, right?" "Yeah, yeah." "Oh, um, speaking of which, I know I should wait till your party, but I'd rather give you this when there's not a lot of people I don't know waiting around." "You didn't have to do that." "Happy birthday." " well, I guess it's not a camera." " No." "You like it?" " Thank you." " Oh, yeah." "Oh, that's gorgeous." "I..." "I can pick up after quadruple bogey, right?" " yeah." " Go ahead." "Thank god." "So, uh, you're, uh, basically kicking our butts, isaac." "Just lucky." "No, you're good." "You're good." "And, uh, you're in good shape." "Your health's good, yeah?" " Prostate's fine and everything's-- - oh, jeez, tommy, come on.Even I think that's nosy." "Excuse me, because I don't want mom spending her golden years taking care of a man in poor health." "Isaac, you know, I'm so sorry." "Tommy's clearly mad 'cause his game sucks compared to yours." "Oh, screw you, kevin." "What, 'cause I actually care about mom?" "Okay, you guys are being a little intense." "I'd like to dial it down and ask him a few more real estate questions." "oh, why, because you're so concerned about mom?" "listen, fellas, listen." "I know how much you love your mother, which makes me very happy because I love her, too." "That's why I'm gonna take very good care of her." "I'm glad we got that over with." " we're not trying to put you on the spot." " Then don'T." "Oh, come on, sarah." "I just want you to see what graham's been up to." "Now ojai would be supplying 1,800 stores throughout mainland china." "Now to make it work, you should probably take a lease on a number of shipping containers between california and china." "You're gonna need to step up your contracts with local growers, as well as amp up your processing and packaging capabilities." "I think we should even think about purchasing futures on fuels." "Could you sit down?" "You're making me dizzy." " Okay, I'm sorry." " Sarah." "Sorry." "Look, just take a look at it." "It's all there." "It just needs to be signed." "We would need a huge cash injection to fund this kind of expansion." "Yeah, but that's the beauty part." "He already secured a bank loan to ojai for what, $20 million?" "Well, they we more than happy to do it on the strength of the 10-store pilot deal." "On top of which, golden plum just sweetened the deal." "They offered to pay 50% in stocks instead of cash." "The kicker being, with the dollar sinking, you'd all own those profits in yuan, which would give you an extra 2% in a currency play." "Sarah, do you have any idea how many people are begging me to get them into a deal in china?" "could i let you know tomorrow?" " "Bloating, weight gain"..." " been there." " "Irritability, mood swings"..." " done that." ""Facial--facial hair"?" "I know.You know, when robert lost the election," "I thought he was gonna do that thing, you know, that thing that they do-- they gaiweight and they grow a beard?" "Well, turns out that I'm gonna be the one looking like al gore." "nora, delivery boy's here with the food." "Oh, great, great." "Julia, would you help me?" "yeah, sure. we'll get that." " Hi, honey." " Thank you." "you mad at me, too?" "Uh, no." "No, w-why would I be mad at you?" "Well, I just spent an afternoon with your brothers, and it seems you guys have some very strong feelings about your mother moving away." "Well, yeah." "I think it would be weird if we didn't have strong feelings about it, don't you think?" "I mean, she has decided, literally overnight, to move 3,000 miles away." "I mean, come on, even you have to admit that it's happening pretty fast." "Maybe, but your mother seems pretty happy to me." "Yeah, she is... now." "isaac, this is a woman who needs her family around her." "If she goes through with this move, I'm just--I'M..." "I'm afraid you're both gonna regret it." "And--and my problem is, is that, you know, I can't be the one to say it to her." "Well, what do you want me to do, tell a grown woman she doesn't know her own feelings?" "Well, feelings don't have anything to do with it." "They are not the problem." "You have clearly swept her off her feet." "But I-I just know thgs about my mother that you don'T." "And if you did, I think you would know that you're asking too much." "I don't think I could ever do what you're doing." "What?" "I mean, just start a whole new life." "I never thought I could do it either." "What made us so afraid?" "And we always seem to take care of everyone else, never ourselves." "Well, I guess it started with mother." "after that, everything was downhill." "All the compromises we've made... saul, you have given so much to this family." "Turn the page." "Do whatever it is you have to do." "You don't owe anything to anyone." "Uh, I didn't mean to interrupt." "Oh, isaac, you're not interrupting." "Would you take this one out, please?" "Uh, s-sure." "how you feeling?" "Y-you still excited?" " About us?" " Yeah, I..." "I just wanted to make sure that you've thought everything through." "No, not at all." "That's what's so exciting about it." "I would understand if you had second thoughts." "What?" "Listen, nora, look at all those people out there who love you." "Oh, stop." "They're still gonna love me." "You're right." " I-I better get the lasagna out here to the buffet." " All right." "shouldn't we, uh, join the rest of the party?" "No." "I'm" " I'm kind of avoiding saul." " Why?" " What's wrong?" "Nothing." "I just--I don't want to talk business, and he keeps wanting to sell me on your deal." "He's a smart man." "You're very sure of yourself, aren't you, mr." "Finch?" "That's what you pay me for." "Sarah?" "Could you two get a room?" "We had a room till you came in here." "Well, saul's lookin' for you guys." "see?" "He's relentless." "Well, I'll just, uh, tell him that I almost had you sold, until, uh, we were interrupted." " So, uh, this is new." " What?" "I'm just not used to you conducting business with a guy's tongue down your throat." "You have a proem with graham?" "No, he seems like a nice enough guy." "So then what?" "It's just business and pleasure, they don't-- they don't always mix." "Oh, well, I seem to remember pretty famously that you mixed your business with pleasure, so... maybe you shouldn't be the one to judge." "I'm not judging." "I'm just concerned, okay?" "I'm a big girl." "Save room for dessert." "That's all I have to say." "Oh, I will." "Where did you get that?" " What, this?" " Yeah." "David gave it to me for my birthday." "You don't like it?" "No, I--it's nice." "It's lovely." "Thanks." "taylor's about to address the republican values council." "Pack of wolves, that bunch." "every time I turn on the tv, he's right there, cruising to the nomination." "I really thought it was our time." "You're gonna accomplish a lot in the senate." "Between you and me, it doesn't feel like enough anymore." "Well, don't quote me, uh, but... there's always next time." "why would I ever put myself through it again?" "I was never home." "I was always exhausted, hoarse." "I had to listen to the most insulting things said about me on a daily basis-- you never had more fun in your life." "Listen, let's--let's not talk about any this with kitty." "You know, we finally have some time together, we're trying to start a family." "The last thing she needs is to think that I miss presidential politics." "Maybe she misses it, too." "No, no, she's, uh... she's moved on." "But listen, she deserves her life back... and without thinking that I'd rather be somewhere else." "oh, my god." "It's from a store." "So's the lettuce." "This--this is really happening, isn't it?" "She's leaving." "I think she's already left." "kevin, don't go there." "what, um, what are we gonna do?" "Stop it." "I cannot hold this family together by myself." "Don't make me slap you." "Kevin?" " Kevin, come on!" "Be a man!" " okay, okay." "You didn't think that I would recognize the necklace?" "It is your mother'S." "You had me wear it in two movies." "Now why wod you give her your mother's necklace?" "Now what is the big deal?" "It's a family heirloom." "What are you trying to say to her?" "Happy birthday?" "Why are you so touchy?" "Because it is the kind of necklace you would give to a daughter." "I just don't know what you're trying to imply." "I'm broke." "I forgot to go shopping." "I had it at my place." "But what do you think I'm trying to imply, holly?" "Nothing." "Let's just get back to the party." "Fine." "Next time I'll give her a scarf." "isaac?" "am I crazy, or have you been avoiding me all night?" "Uh, I didn't mean to." "Um, I--I've just been running things over and over in my head." "What things?" "I'm worried I rushed you into this decision, that's all, before you were really sure." "All right." "Somebody got to you-- one of the boys?" " Kitty and I were talking..." " kitty?" "No, no, no." "She--she made some fair points, nora." "You know, if she had those fair points, why didn't she bring them to me?" "I guess she thought you might overreact." "okay." "Okay, rebecca, welcome to your 22nd birthday..." "And your first birthday celebration in the crowded bosom of the walker family." "Now as guest of honor, you, like all walkers before you, must suffer the ritual of the embarrassing birthday toast." "You started the toast without me?" "Well, sorry, mom, we couldn't find you." "Yeah, and we thought we should practice doing things in your absence." " Sarah, why don't you go ahead with your toast?" " Thank you." "Okay, rebecca, there are many reasons to celebrate this last year, not the least of which is those bangs have finally grown out." "Oh, sarah." "I thought they were adorable." " They were dreadful." " they were adorable." "No, no, no." "Don't let them push you around." "Oh, mom, nobody is pushing anybody around, okay?" "We're just doing the birthday toast." "Which I would like to finish so that I can go pick up paige and coop." "Why didn't you bring them with you?" "Because, mother, I would like to break it to them privately that their grandma's moving away." "Ooh, more collateral damage." " I think I'll go and let you talk among yourselves." " Wait, isaac." "Can we just do the toast, please, for her birthday, everyone?" "You know, I've got a toast." "Um, to--to rebecca, who is actually happy for her mother and her new boyfriend and has made him feel like a cherished part of their family." "are you saying that we haven't welcomed isaac?" "That's ridiculous." "is this normal?" "I don't know." "I'm new here." "I'm gonna get some dessert." "That's a good idea." "We'll ha some dessert now." " Oh, well, you can't have dessert." " Why?" "It's birthday cake, and rebecca hasn't blown out the candles." "Nora, I'm not hungry, and I want some coffee." " I'm gonna make some coffee." " I'll check on the candles and the cake." " oh, I'd loveoffee." " I'll get some wine." "All right, mom, let's just cut to the chase, and then maybe we can salvage rebecca's birthday party, please?" "Sorry, rebecca, but we are-- we are very worried that you are rushing into this and maybe for the wrong reasons." "yeah." "Please enlighten me, oh, wise one." "Okay." "Okay.I just" "I think that we all are worried that you are trying to replace dad with isaac." "that's ridiculous." "Leaving a family and the life that you've built is a very drastic way of avoiding a realization that you're afraid to be alon oh, my darling daughter, that is the biggest load of bull crap I've ever heard in my life." " Can I--can I say something?" " no, no, no-- no, no, kitty and I have been talking about this... it's my turn, and I'll tell you exactly-- stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop it!" "I'm not moving away because I need to replace your father or-- or I'm afraid to be alone or whatever else you can think of." "I'm leaving to get away from all of you!" "You think I don't notice all the eye-rolling and sighing and little looks you give each other... every time I open my mouth?" "You're constantly complaining that I'm manipulative and I'm controlling and I invade your lives." "Well, take a good luck in the mirror, my darling children." "I try to change one thing in my life, and you all launch so many covert actions, you might as well be the cia!" "Oh, god, it felt so good to make a decision for myself without taking everyone else's feelings into account." "No." "I'm doing this for me." "And frankly, it's about damn time." "None of this applies to you, sweetie." "You're fine." "Happy birthday." "yes?" "It's me..." ""oh, wise one."" "Is everybody gone?" "Uh, yeah." "Yeah, pretty much the second after rebecca blew out her candles." "Where's isaac?" "Downstairs making some calls." "Do you want some help?" "No!" "Yes." "You know, I-I thought that everybody was being so selfish, and that I was the only one that was concerned with your well-being." "I'm sure your intentions were good." "Well, no." "No, I, uh, I was the worst of all." "I tried to get isaac to do my dirty work, and..." "I'm sorry." "When you moved to new york, I was desperate to stop you, but I couldn't make myself say to my own daughter, "please stay, I need you."" "Well, you know, at least you were going towards something you want." "I was just running away." "Kitty, maybe I'm running away, too." "Yeah, you're running away from us." "No... from me." "I..." "I was so young when I married your father, and then I had all of you, and I-I guess I just never learned how to en-- enjoy my own company." "Even now, if I have news or-- or something happens to me, good or bad," "I just never feel like it's actually happened until I... until I tell all of you." "Maybe that's why we're so lousy at keeping secrets." "Do you love him?" "I mean, do you love isaac enough to move all the way to washington, D.C." "Well, I mean, whatever you decide, it-- we love you." " Good night." " Good night." "Okay, wait." "Just--just--just" " I-I, um..." "I just don't want to regret anything, so... please stay." "I need you." "oh, I should never have let the walkers host her birthday." "Their parties always descend into a brawl." "Yeah, it makes you wonder how somebody as sweet as rebecca could be related to them." "I am a little sick of your innuendos tonight." "Yeah, well, maybe I'm a lile sick of being treated like an idiot." "Oh, come on, holly." "We've been dancing around this." "I'm telling you now, if you have any doubt... if there is even the remotest possibility that you don't know who her father is... there is a possibility." "No." "Remote!" " So you--so you were seeing both of us?" " No." "There was this one night, and william and I had a fight, and I ended up at your place." "Holly, you should have told me this before." "Rebecca has finally got her life together." "If she found out that I wn't 100% sure that william was her father, we would never recover from that." "She might never recover." "I didn't come back here to ruin her life... or yours." "I-I came back here to be with you." "Well, then can't we just leave it at that then, for her sake?" "Please." "good." "You're awake." "Yes, I couldn't sleep after all the drama." "Is that really what's keeping you up?" "no." "Isaac, I don't want to make a mistake." "It's so important." "What you don't know about me is how difficult it is-- it's okay." "You can't go to washington with me." "I knew it was a long shot, but I had to ask." "I'm glad you did." "I'm glad I did, too." "I'm sorry your party was so lame." "It had some funny moments." "I especially liked the part where everybody yelled at each other at exactly the same time." "That was-- that was pretty funny." "You're right. it was awful." "You know, I even saw your mom arguing with david." "Really?" "About what?" "Uh, about-- about that necklace." "I guess, like, it belonged to his mother or something." "He never told me that." "Uh, yeah, yeah." "She was, uh, she was really pissed." "She was, uh, accusing him of... of--of implying, uh... implying what?" "Justin, implying what?" "Of im--of implying that he's your father." "Look, I know it sounds crazy, rebecca, but I mean, have you ever thought that-- of course I've thought about that." "I mean, my--my mom always said that my dad was this struggling director, and this guy shows up, this--this struggling director, and-- have you ever just asked her point-blank?" "She completely denies it." "And, you know, at first, I-I..." "I believed her, but the more I see them together, I mean... look, I mean, if it's getting to you, why don't you just get, like, a test or something?" "You don't think I want to?" "Honestly, justin, I..." "I don't know if I can just walk in to some lab with--with what, his hairbrush?" "And... and find out that my life is a lie... again." "I just--I don't know if I can handle that." "What if I come with you?" "I'm keeping five people in shanghai awake waiting to pull the trigger on this deal." " Saul, could you close the door, please?" " Sure." " Sarah, don't tell me- - we can't do the deal." "I can't be objective." "I'm emotionally involved with him." "Okay, well, then let me be objective." "I am telling you, this is a fantastic deal." "Look, I'm not gonna recuse myself." "Do you have any idea how hard graham has worked on this?" "Of course, it's what's killing me, because actually, saul, it's good-- it's really good-- between us, and I don't want my nixing this deal to get in the way of this... thing we have." "So it's fine for your thing to get in the way of our business?" "Oh, come on, saul." "We're family." "Nothing could come between us." "Could you, um... make something up, get me off the hook?" "I'm sorry." "You know I'll take care of it." "I mean, after all, what's one more favor?" "We're family, right?" "Okay." "Okay, go." "No, wait, wait, wait!" "Just--just wait." "Wait, wait, wait." "Just one-- one--just wait." "Wait." "Okay." "Go." "Done." " you did it?" " Yeah, it's done." "You're really getting good at that." "Maybe we should continue this examination in the bedroom." "You're such a republican." "If we were democrats, we would just be doing it on the couch. oh, wait." " Let it ring." " No, no, no." "It's probably my mom." "Isaac's leaving today." "It's gonna be A... hello." "Oh, no." "No." "Yes, of course." "Sure." "Sure." "I'll--I'll check." "it's, uh, drew mccoy from the taylor campaign." "hey, drew." "Yeah." "Sure. 2:00's fine." "Okay, I'll see you here." "taylor has a campaign stop in sacramento." " He wants to come here for a meeting." " Oh, robert." "It's just a meeting." "We don't know what this is about." "Do you remember that I do this for a living?" "This is about the ticket." "He's reaching out to you for the V.P.Spot." "well, we'll cross that bridge if we come to it." "I wasn't really sure what you needed, so I have his toothbrush and, um, some razor clippings in here, and I pulled some gum from the garbage that he chewed." "It's gross.I know, but" "I think I'll take the razor clippings." "That's probably best." "I have to do a viability study first to see if there's usable D.N.A.In here." "I understand." "And you know the results can't be used in any legal forum." "It's only for your own curiosity." " How accurate is it?" " Completely." " And when do I find out the results?" " We'll call you." "So... you ready to get started?" "hello?" "Just wanted to hear your voice." "I was thinking about you, too." "Well, my flight doesn't leave for a while." "There's still time to change your mind." "I've been changing my mind every five minutes, which is a pretty good indication that I should stay put." "Ah, undecided voters tend to go with the incumbent." "don't say good-bye, okay?" "We're gonna see each other." " So long, then." " So long, isaac." "Fly safe." "Brothers  Sisters Season02 Episode13"
