"We go out with our billboards next week as far down as Provo and we're gonna saturate the Salt Lake market." "Twenty-six billboards is a lot." "I have to say, in my three terms as party chairman you were the first candidate to place billboards outside of his district." "That's what I've been telling him." "Leslie Newton Usher has run twice before." "She's a known commodity." "But as a Democrat in a Republican district, you've got the edge here." "I wouldn't provoke a spending war." "She's got mighty deep pockets." "Which gets to what I wanna ask you, Dick." "If we can count on the party for support." "We can help you with names and share donor lists but that's about it." "Have you taken any time off since the nomination?" "We were hoping for a breather, but it has been full steam ahead." "Bill has the stamina of a teenager." "Lucky you." "Why don't you ride that trustee thing?" "You've got some free media." "And it's a good white-knight issue, cleaning up Juniper Creek." "Well, I have been a bit out of the loop during the campaign, but you're right." "Got a meeting of the advisory committee." "So are you breaking up the UEB or not?" "I think so." "I've presented my ideas to the trustee." "I've just been waiting to hear back from him." "Excuse me." "I need to visit the ladies' room." "Barb." "Ana." "So you're working here now?" "Yes." "Oh, crap." "Bill." "Ana." "It's good to see you." "Congratulations to...?" "Is it?" "Why didn't you tell us?" "I didn't wanna be a burden." "I have to go back to work." "I have party of 1 2." "How are things going?" "Oh, we,re having a fabulous time getting to know one another." "And I've just been assigned my new marital bedroom." "I asked you, please do not discuss that with me." "Fine." "I'm just saying my new room adjoins Cara Lynn's." "We share a toilet, just like sisters." "Look, you are not sisters." "I know that." "We're painting fluffy clouds." "And I've sewn us matching outfits." "Please don't wear matching outfits." "Well, she needs something." "She's taken a bit to dressing like a whore." "And after my sealing, I will be one of her mothers." "Oh, no, you won't." "I am her mother." "You are my mother." "You are her grandmother." "Don't push me." "You need to find peace with my pending remarriage." "I want your blessing." "Mama, just please have her back on Sunday." "I ran these in Boise and Pocatello last Sunday to test the waters." "Test the waters?" "For what?" "Utah's our market." "Why are we running ads in Idaho?" "I'm coming into the home stretch of my campaign against an opponent known to fight dirty." "I may be exposed as a polygamist." "I might have to preempt and expose myself." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, Bill." "A wider net might not be all bad." "That's not our deal, Bill, at all." "Mormon money is not the only money out there." "We should run one more set of ads, get our marketing guy to track see if we're pulling from outside our Utah base." "I'm just trying to be prudent here." "How long have you been thinking about this?" "Jerry, this casino is as much my family's lifeline as it is yours." "You don't know what you're talking about." "Without this casino, we get ground back into poverty." "I understand that." "No, you don't understand." "I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize your interests." "I'm just expanding the business model, not changing it." "All right, we're gonna continue this conversation." "Bill, Marilyn Densham's coming in tomorrow for her formal presentation." "I know how you feel about her, but I wanna hear her out." "Fine." "Come in." "What is it?" "All right." "What on earth is going on?" "We were in the restaurant last night and do I have news for you." "Ana was there." "Working?" "Yes, moonlighting, poor thing." "And pregnant." "Out to here." "Pregnant?" "Bill and I ran over to hug her." "She was so frightened to see us." "How pregnant?" "Appropriately." "She was embarrassed and shamed." "We know how prideful Ana is." "And on her feet 1 5 hours a day just to make ends meet." "It was very emotional." "How was Bill?" "Well, how would you imagine?" "He was devastated." "Wrestling with his feelings and beliefs." "We prayed together last night but he feels heavenly father has closed the door on Ana." "Why are we assuming this is Bill's baby?" "Nicki, we are." "Bill is running for office." "I mean, this could be a scam." "If it was a scam, she'd hardly be avoiding us, would she?" "But the marriage lasted 48 hours." "Conceiving in 48 hours?" "That's a bull's-eye." "That's all I'm saying." "Bill was right, that marriage wasn't meant to be." "Well, we do not turn our backs on someone we love who's carrying our child which, given the recent history of our marriage ought to mean something to some of us." "We're going to support her in every way we can and make room for that baby in our lives." "Bill will come around." "Why doesn't anyone believe I'm trying to get pregnant?" "We don't need to scrounge around a restaurant for a baby." "Did you see that?" "Barb won't even look at me." "What do I have to do?" "It's not gonna be over for you until Benny's home from Lois's and she's tucked him safely in his bed." "The money was wired Monday by Western Union to Don Doña." "Up-front?" "Frank, Don Doña is the bird kingpin for all of Mexico." "A quick in, quick out, no one knows we're here." "Can you believe the size of these shrimp?" "Honey, can you go grab me some extra napkins in case I get the trots?" "Frank, I like this boy." "He's good." "He's strong." "He's got our best traits." "He just needs a little more structure and discipline, that's all." "Fathering." "And mothering." "That was Dad." "I told him you sprained your ankle that I have to stay until you can walk again." "Why don't you just tell him that you're tasting the world?" "You know?" "You're moving on." "I need everything to be in order before I do." "I don't want anything to mess it up." "In one week's time, you'll have the dough to do whatever you want in life." "How do you like Mexico so far?" "It's a blast." "I love getting out of Sandy." "Wait till you taste that shrimp cocktail." "You can't get shrimp like this in the States." "My topic is "Independence and Autonomy:" "Choices for Women."" "I'm not a businesswoman." "I am a working mother." "And while I've struggled to make this my life I don't think I've ever wanted to "have it all."" "I've just wanted to be happy." "Don't you think it's strange that men own businesses and have families but they're not accused of wanting to have it all?" "I'm not a feminist or anything but I don't think that doing something that makes us feel less dependent on others and increases our self-respect could possibly be bad for society." "And I think it's really important that women stick together and help each other." "Believe me, it's something I try to live every day of my life." "Hi, it's me." "Where are you?" "You were supposed to call me at 9." "I have a very special surprise for you." "Something I think you will like very much." "Call me as soon as you get this." "Three of the advisors had me meet with them this morning and asked me to meet with you." "I have to ask you, Dale." "Are you having inappropriate contact with Albert Grant?" "No, of course not." "Well, members of the committee have been told that you are." "By who?" "I don't know." "But the members are concerned." "The pace of the audit and inventory has slowed." "Just be square with me." "Have you had any secret meetings of any kind?" "No." "You know, discussing UEB business or making side deals behind closed doors with the de facto prophet would be a significant ethical lapse." "I've spoken with him once or twice, trying to persuade him to cooperate with us." "Dale." "Never make an enemy when you can make a friend, I get that." "But this is Albert Grant." "The man put rattlesnakes in my bed." "He stalked my daughter." "He" "He tried to poison his own father." "He continues to perform sealings." "The guy's a complete sociopath." "Make a full accounting to the board before this thing takes on a life of its own." "Here it comes." "Thank you." "Oh, sorry." "Sorry." "Ana." "Margie." "You look great." "Margie." "We're here to offer our support." "We wanna know you're okay, that's all." "Make sure everything is on the up and up." "You're aware, I'm sure, that Bill's a nominee for State Senate from the 8th District." "I'm sure she knows that, Nicki." "We have clothes, bassinets, toys" "No, thank you." "Babysitting, advice, love." "You have no idea how great it is to have a backup mom." "Thank you, but this baby needs only one mother." "That's the way it'll be raised, please." "I'll come in a minute to take your orders." "Are you really saying that you don't wanna have anything to do with us?" "Really, Barb, if you come later, maybe we can talk about it." "Hello." "Check your 5:00." "What are you doing here?" "You said you'd keep your hands off the situation." "I never said that." "But what are you doing here?" "You said that Ana was a closed chapter." "I meant for you to leave it alone because, no offense you and your sisters of mercy can be a bit overwhelming." "The situation is a bit delicate." "Yes, it is a bit delicate." "There's a baby involved here." "Our baby." "Yes, and I will handle it." "Go home, all of you." "Waitress!" "Oh, no, wait." "Waitress." "Well, I have news for you." "She doesn't want us." "Any of us." "Do I have that right?" "Yes, so see what you can pull from your bag of tricks." "Let's go." "We know when we're not wanted." "You people are so damn complicated." "There's no halfway with any of you." "This just can't be an independent decision on your part." "And why not?" "Dagnabit, Ana." "I have a shared responsibility in this." "This is my child." "It's my son or my daughter." "Nothing you can say or do can change that fact." "This baby was conceived out of our love." "Why are you making this so hard?" "I can't take it." "Anyway, this is not even my station." "The password is "family."" "Dorky, but sweet." "Phones." "Don't worry about transferring calls for now." "Messages are good enough for today." "Barb." "Right?" "Marilyn." "This is my assistant, Katie." "Hi." "Marilyn." "Hello, Katie." "And this is my daughter, Sarah." "She's helping me out for a couple of days." "Nice to meet you, Sarah." "Nice to meet you too." "Hey." "I'm in town to give my pitch to the tribe." "I hope you don't think I'm being presumptuous." "I saw this in the Denver airport, thought of you." "It's just a bit of an apology for being so brusque when we met at the convention." "I hope you like hot chocolate." "I do." "How did you know?" "Well, I know how hard it is to be a candidate's wife." "You are always taking care of him." "His health, his worries, his temper." "I thought you might need something to buoy you up." "That's very sweet of you." "Maybe you can give me some tips on where all the bodies are buried." "So you're on the board of Weber Gaming and Weber is the partnered entity with the Blackfeet?" "Yes, but technically I'm a partner too." "Well, then why aren't you on the list for the pitch on Thursday?" "I knew it." "This is a boys' club here, isn't it?" "When will they grow up?" "It's" "Isn't it tiresome?" "It's like being hazed at sorority or something." "Don't worry." "I'll be at that meeting." "Good, I'm glad." "You should be." "No, it looks good." "I'm just a little concerned about the back entrance." "Well, if you can get us up to that 9000-square-foot mark, I'd feel a lot better." "Sounds good." "Yup, I'll call you later." "Okay, bye." "Nine thousand square feet for what?" "Our new campaign headquarters." "I need to talk to you." "I have a problem." "Still problems with Barb?" "Oh, no." "We're almost fine again." "Well, then what is it?" "I think you should wait a year." "For what?" "Announcing who we are." "Honey, I thought you were on board." "No." "I just didn't make a stink because I didn't think you could possibly win." "Sweetie, if you're nervous, it's okay." "We all are." "Well, I'm not talking about nerves, Bill." "I'm talking about our financial stability, our privacy, our family not knowing what's gonna happen with Ana." "By the second year of your term, we'd have more of a foundation." "Do it then." "I can't help but believe you're more concerned about your business." "Bill, if you want your 1 0,000 investment back, I can pay you right away." "No, what I wanna say is something much more than that." "I wish I felt that you were struggling with this more or that you were even torn, but I don't." "I don't want our marriage to be a weapon to stifle your growth but it's not something you can throw away when you want to either." "Why are you putting syrup on an omelet?" "I like it that way." "What's the matter?" "I thought this would make you happy." "We can meet here." "It can be a place just for us." "Someone's onto us." "My advisors are talking." "Says who?" "I met with Bill Henrickson today." "Bill." "I could be in serious trouble, Alby." "So could you." "I got tripped up." "I lied to him." "Bill's an agitator." "Everyone is concerned that the audit is dragging." "I'm trying to get all the records." "You should've said that." "I didn't know what he knew, Alby!" "He said other things." "About you." "He's a liar." "Did you try to kill your father?" "Of course not." "Are you performing sealings?" "Dale, please." "Sealings are important to us." "I know how you feel about them but, please, judge me not by the lies of others." "People are trying to turn us against each other." "I am not the devil." "I know you're not." "Men will still say this was their finest hour." "Margie's getting cold feet about after the election." "You think you could help with her?" "I'll do what I can." "Mention it to Barb too." "Put your heads together." "Don't go yet." "Thirty more minutes?" "Okay." "Thanks for staying." "Sometimes I get so angry at things I can't change." "What do you mean?" "The way we grew up." "This is something you have to put to bed." "Oh, I wish I could do that as easily as you can." "I think I'm damaged." "Listen." "I don't know how this Ana situation will work out, but I'm not giving up." "Margene says you're looking at new headquarters?" "We can't continue to run the campaign out of our dining room." "We're creating an image." "Nine thousand square feet is getting to be a pretty expensive image." "Plus the signs and the billboards." "The more people that come to know us now as regular and ordinary the harder it'll be for them to hate us on the other side." "And what's this I hear about a change in direction for the Blackfoot Magic?" "A rebranding?" "It just turns us into every other casino out there." "That's not a vision that I'm very happy with." "We're going to be public polygamists." "I wanna make sure we're protected." "I guess I should've run it by you, but frankly I thought it was kind of implied." "And was the invitation to Marilyn's pitch implied too?" "She showed up to talk to me about it and I was totally blindsided." "I am on the board of directors." "I am the one on the ground up there." "What's going on with you, Bill?" "Don't talk to Marilyn about anything." "We can't stop her from buttering up the Flutes but she can't be hired without our consent." "I like her." "Oh, honey, don't be so naive." "She's a shark with the price tag of a whale." "She's pushy and overaggressive." "Maybe that's what we need there." "We can't let her get that close to us." "People at the casino know who we are." "If she found out...." "She's just too connected." "It'd blow us out of the water." "No, the sooner she's sent packing, the better we'll be." "I've seen a lot of casinos, but none like this." "I love root beer." "Well, it was Bill's vision." "You are unbelievable." "What?" "She designed this ice cream bar." "I got the idea from the ice cream parlor on Main Street, Disneyland." "Behind every man, there's an exhausted woman." "So you're recently married, I hear." "Bless your heart." "I hope you're better at it than I was." "I was married at your age." "A student housewife." "I don't know what we were thinking back then, at least in Oklahoma." "Oh, here too." "But then I discovered politics." "And I became a driven young Republican activist and I worked for Reagan during the '76 convention." "My mother was a Rockefeller Republican." "And she and my daddy took me with them to the convention in Miami Beach." "I was 4 years old and saw the ocean for the very first time." "It made me cry." "I just cried and cried for three days." "Miss Densham." "I've got Larry on the phone in the office." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I've gotta take this." "You never told me that." "There's a lot of things I haven't told you." "It's about the Nez Perce." "The tribe isn't happy about any of this." "Oh, fuck them." "I'm humping for them 24/7 and I'm not giving this up." "There's nothing here to threaten anybody." "Calm down, Wanda." "Just try to calm down." "No.!" "They,re coming.!" "They,re here.!" "Who?" "My family!" "They've been arriving from Kansas all morning!" "A bunch of imbeciles in their crazy vans and their nutty RVs.!" "I think this means your mother's sealing is happening." "No." "No." "You knew it was coming." "Yeah, but I didn't know it was gonna make me feel like this." "Wanda, just go get Cara Lynn and keep her away from that freak show." "And call me every hour and let me know what's going on, okay?" "I have a terrible foreboding, Nicki." "No, I'm happy to tell you the trusteeship is officially now back on track and aggressively moving forward." "Give me a ring or send out a reporter, I'll gladly speak about it on the record." "Thank you." "I look forward to discussing with you in more detail." "I'm so glad you called." "Please, sit." "I thought about what you said and I've changed my mind." "I do need help." "Ana, I'm so happy to hear you say that." "I have to quit waitressing." "My doctor says I need to get off my feet more." "If you can help me now, we can work out some sort of visitation plan." "Well, I hope it'll be more than just visitations." "Well, just for now." "Maybe more later." "But, Bill I don't want to be bothered by Barb and Margie and Nicki." "I can't have them calling or trying to bond with me." "It's too much drama and I'm overwhelmed as it is." "I want it to be normal." "Just you and me." "All right?" "All right." "Good." "Now, who should my lawyer talk to?" "Lawyer?" "You have a lawyer?" "No, but I will." "I'm supposed to." "Says who?" "It doesn't matter." "Shouldn't someone draw up the paperwork?" "Paperwork?" "No, no, Ana." "I'm in the middle of a campaign here." "Oh, yes, the 8th District." "Look." "This is just so that things are clear." "Ana, trust me." "I can take care of this." "I can." "Whenever the adversary tries to convince you that you can't change, he's lying." "He's the father of lies." "Bishop Soferman, I've been going to Alignment for six years and it's only gotten worse." "No temptation is so strong that you can't resist it unless you've given away your free agency to complete addiction." "No!" "I've done everything right." "Everything." "When I was young, I was part of the reorientation program at BYU." "I did the aversion therapy vomiting up my guts while I'm watching pornography." "I still have scars from the electroshock." "Bishop, I have struggled for my church." "And I know it has struggled with me, but I feel like I'm" "You know, Dale, when my wife and I watched the Olympic divers' competition I noticed that the judges grade not only on how good the form is but also the difficulty of the dive." "Heavenly father will judge you by the difficulty of your dive which only he has the knowledge to understand." "The fact is, your job is made harder by the cultural confusion that exists around homosexuality today." "Listen to your leaders." "I do listen!" "I try to feel heavenly father's love and compassion for me" "If you love your church if you want your place in heaven, if you love your family then you must find a way to stop." "This is what I've been hearing for 30 years." "Frank." "Son." "Your grandmother and I have been thinking that once this trip is done you would be more than welcome to come live with us." "We'd have enough money to add on a room all your own have your own car." "We could really fix you up." "What about living down here?" "Could we do that?" "Get a place down here for part of the time?" "With bars on the windows, so the thieves wouldn't get in while we're away." "Where's the beach?" "How far?" "What kind of government do they have here?" "Hello, Mom?" "I don't think I'm very interested in talking to you at the moment." "Where exactly are you?" "My place." "Oh, really?" "Well, I,m at your place and you,re not here." "Where's Ben?" "I don't think he's very interested in talking to you either." "Mom." "We're in the Grand Tetons." "Okay?" "Is that a crime?" "We,re having a wonderful time." "Who's "we"?" "Your father, lovely Jodean and Benjamin." "You took Ben to Wyoming without my permission?" "I'm taking my family on an innocent, well-earned vacation." "If you can't keep your family together, then that's your problem." "I want you and your little ragtag posse to turn around and come home right now." "This ragtag posse happens to be my family." "Stop feeling guilty." "Why should I feel guilty?" "Forget it." "I never held it against you anyway." "Held what against me?" "My banishment." "Why would you?" "There was nothing I could do about it." "And if you're just gonna start attacking me" "Mother, be quiet, stop talking and get Ben home now." "You got it?" "You wanna stop?" "Get a bite to eat?" "Let's just keep driving." "Don Doña is expecting us and we're not gonna keep him waiting." "Lura." "The trustee is a homosexual." "He should be removed." "Don't be ridiculous." "Remove him from his position." "How does it feel exactly to do Alby's dirty work?" "It can't be satisfying." "If my husband could remove him, he would." "Then why doesn't he?" "Well, he can't." "So do it." "Please." "Sorry I'm late." "Ready for business." "Actually, Margie, you are the business." "Ganging up?" "We wanna make sure that we're still a priority for you." "It's distressing to Bill" "To all of us." "And to all of us that you're so resistant to the post-election plan." "It hurts us that you'd let us go out there without you." "I never said that." "I think we should all explore waiting is all." "I'm not being resistant." "I'm stating my opinion." "In four weeks, we're going to be out there, publicly known, in the glaring spotlight." "Don't you have any fears about any of this?" "Of course I have fears." "Like what?" "It'd be nice to hear I'm not totally crazy here." "I'm scared of not being able to hold onto Home Plus or the casino." "I'm scared of not being able to keep up with Bill on the vision after this vision, whatever it'll be." "I'm terrified for the children." "What it will mean to them in their lives." "There." "Fears." "And I'm afraid we're moving ahead and you won't be there with us at the end." "And I'll just cut to the chase." "I saw your speeches on your laptop the other day and they hurt my feelings greatly." "Why were you on my laptop?" "What speeches?" "She is out there making speeches when she's supposedly having root canals." "I joined Toastmasters." "Public speaking improves my self-esteem and it's part of getting ahead at VSN." "And please don't lecture me on ingratitude." "I'm not." "I'm lecturing you on hypocrisy." "Your speeches are fairy tales, fantasies about being an independent career woman." "You are not independent." "You're one of us." "All right, hold on." "You couldn't do the things you do without us." "We're the women behind the woman." "Your children, cooking, cleaning." "I give you credit." "I wouldn't be where I am without standing on shoulders of other women." "Walking on their backs, more like it." "Unfair!" "I went straight from being a little girl to being a married woman." "I'm finding my voice." "What's wrong with wanting more?" "That's a joke, right?" "You had a whole life before you joined us." "Count your blessings." "I never had the little-girl part, let alone the in-between." "Maybe I should write some speeches about it!" "Hi." "Don Doña, how are you, darling?" "Super good." "So this is your bird kingpin, Lois?" "I'm here for our birds and then we have to vamoose." "There's a problem." "The birds will be here tomorrow." "Or maybe not." "There was a lot of rain and everyone had to run up into the mountains." "How much of our money did you give this joker?" "The boy is very pretty and tall." "Yes." "Give me a break." "Can I touch his beautiful hair?" "Gross." "He's all dirty." "Listen to me." "Frank." "He's got a temper." "I don't care if you're Minnie the Moocher." "Tomorrow at 1 2:00, which is noon, we're coming for our birds and you're gonna give them to us, or else." "You tell him I'm not taking one, not even one ratty clitoris." "Now come on, tell him." "Bill." "I'm sorry for calling you here." "I didn't wanna put you on the spot at your home." "Alby's wife Lura came to speak to me." "She's the one behind all of this." "Are you and Alby having a homosexual affair?" "Dale, you've got to tell me." "There's no spinning this." "You'll have to resign." "Our trusteeship is completely compromised." "You know that." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry I lied to you, Bill, and I'm sorry I betrayed you." "Can you help me?" "I'll do what I can." "I'll certainly vouch for you in any investigation." "Heavenly father, please." "No investigations." "Dale, I'll do everything I can to keep this contained." "Dear Lord, please...." "I think I can understand how difficult this must be keeping a secret." "You can't imagine." "How was your day?" "Less than pleasant." "Is Nicki here?" "I think so." "Your plate's in the kitchen and your real-estate guru called again about the campaign headquarters." "During dinner." "I'm sorry about that." "Hey, it won't happen again." "Well, how is Benny?" "Did you call your mother?" "Did you talk to him?" "They went camping in Wyoming." "You have gotta be kidding me." "This is ridiculous." "I am calling them." "Barb, please." "I know, but they're fine." "They're fine." "I spoke with Ana." "She came by to see me." "It's good news." "She's had a change of heart." "She's willing to normalize things after the election." "Normalize?" "What does that mean?" "To accept some parental rights." "And what does that mean, "some parental rights"?" "She's willing to let me be a father." "You?" "Alone?" "For now." "Honey" "No, this doesn't feel right." "This is our baby." "You've made some private deal." "I haven't made any deal." "How do we know this isn't a shakedown?" "It's not a shakedown." "Then why did she change her mind so suddenly?" "Did you ask yourself that?" "Are we a family that makes decisions together or are we all free agents now?" "We're a family that moves forward as one." "Good, because I got news for you." "You are not raising a baby with another woman that I'm not a mother to." "Oh, you know exactly what I meant." "More news for you." "There's a problem at the casino." "Your "rebranding" exercise has backfired." "These fliers were distributed in over 600 evangelical churches in Idaho this past weekend." "I'm sure it's just some backwoods fringe group." "That's not what we've been told." "It's the state chapter of Families for a Responsible America out of Atlanta." "Their founder, Ron Reed, was on the cover of TIME Magazine." "He's the new face of the religious right." "Their goal is to shut you down with a ballot referendum banning gambling in Idaho." "I thought you being Mormon was supposed to solve problems like this." "Mormons and evangelicals have a very uneasy coexistence." "Your ads in Boise and Pocatello put you on their radar." "Baloney!" "We've been on their radar from the get-go." "We're not the only tribe they've targeted." "Bill, it's clear as day." "Don't say they're not connected." "The good news is this is very beatable." "I've got pull with the Idaho delegation in Washington and they've got pull in Boise." "We can stop the initiative in the legislature." "Let's get real here, everyone." "A ballot initiative is years down the road." "And let's not let someone fan this into terror for their own selfish reasons." "And I don't want some holy war with the religious right." "May I speak with you for a moment, Bill?" "Why are you being such a douchebag?" "Stop disparaging me in front of potential clients." "I'm just trying to protect my partners." "If I meant to be disparaging, I'd have called you a leech hoping to bleed the tribe dry." "Says the opportunist riding the tribe's coattails." "What's your big contribution?" "Drug use is up 22 percent on this reservation." "What are you doing about that?" "A portion of your retainer goes towards fighting addiction?" "I didn't realize that." "Get ahold of yourselves." "You're two dogs fighting and the Flutes don't wanna be your bone." "You think you can be self-righteous about gaming the system with earmarks corporate jets and backroom deals?" "You're a moneychanger in the temple." "Don't think you can use my wife to get me." "Well, it so happens I like your wife." "I respect her." "Heaven only knows what she's doing with a horse's ass like you." "Is this casino our safety net or not?" "Of course." "You know it is." "Then I think you're being stubborn and short-sighted." "Alby, please don't hang up." "Bill told me everything." "It,s not true, Nicki, none of it." "Bill is spreading these lies." "No." "No, Bill's not behind this." "Lura is." "Lura knows?" "She's told others." "Don't judge me, Nicki." "He sees the good in me." "Don't say things like that." "We're both twisted by Mama and Papa, by the way we were raised." "No." "He is good." "He touches my heart." "He's my destiny, Nicki." "I love you, Alby." "No matter what." "I do." "I love you." "What do you mean, "no matter what"?" "What do you know?" "No." "No, nothing." "Father." "I have to go now to the La Esperanza." "The La Esperanza?" "I'm performing several sealings." "Alby, are you sealing JJ and Mama?" "Yes." "At the La Esperanza?" "How could they do it there?" "No, this is just too much!" "Leave the past to the past, sister." "When it looks like ours, no good can come of it." "Your turn." "That's not fair." "Hey, Wanda." "Look, Mommy and Papa are here." "Grandma." "It's so nice to see you, honey." "You've been such a stranger." "Baby doll." "I think we're ready." "La translatadora is in el carro." "We're here for our birds, then we're going to check out." "What does he want?" "Go to him." "Kiss him." "What?" "I'm not gonna do that." "Kiss him." "It gets us our birds and it gets us out of here." "The man is plastered!" "What's going on?" "That's enough of that." "Hey!" "You pick up my bananas, you old dog." "You don't mess with Frank Harlow." "Frank." "Something's not right." "I'm serious, Frank." "We need to leave now." "Get back." "Welcome to Mexico." "You're supposed to be in prison." "Guess I got out." "So poaching from our supplier?" "Greedy, and a punishable offense." "You'll come with us now." "And him." "The restaurant gave me your new address." "I'm sorry for barging over but, Ana, I simply cannot let you keep Margie and Nicki and me away from a baby born from our marriage, and all the while asking for money." "No, I just can't stand for it, Ana." "I'm sorry." "Could you come back later?" "Hello." "Who was that?" "Goran." "My fiancé." "Fiancé." "You're remarrying." "So why didn't you tell us?" "Because I knew you'd drive him away." "Did he put you up to this?" "Is that why you're asking for money?" "No, he wants what's best for me and the baby." "He loves me." "You don't find a desirable man willing to love someone pregnant with another man's child every day." "You can't ask me to give that up." "Well, you can't ask me to give up a child conceived in our marriage either." "My baby with Bill didn't come from our marriage." "It was conceived before we were married." "Before." "What is the matter with you?" "I've come for the sealing after all." "Not like that, you're not." "Look at you." "Have you lost your senses?" "I feel very sane, Mama, perhaps for the first time in my life." "You are making a complete spectacle of yourself." "Please, get a sheet to cover her up." "And this hair" "Don't." "It's how I want it." "But it's ridiculous." "It's on the side of your head." "It's me, Mama." "It's who I've always been inside." "You're talking yourself right into a straitjacket." "No!" "This hotel is the place where my soul was killed when you stood by and let Papa marry me off to a man who was twice my age!" "Enough!" "Leave now!" "We gotta be in and out in five minutes..." "...before someone tips off the cops." "I'm handling it." "There is nothing you wouldn't do to be the center of attention." "Where is my daughter?" "She'd better not be anywhere around this." "What?" "Well, I don't know." "You know how these things happen on the spur of the moment." "What are you saying?" "Your father arranged it before he passed." "No!" "Where is she?" "You are my intended, my darling." "My name is Toby." "And you'll be my seventh." "That makes us both so lucky." "Out." "Oh, Nicki." "You come here, because I wanna hug you." "Where is Cara Lynn, Wanda?" "She's in the nursery with the ponies." "You come back to us, dear." "Baby doll." "Mama, help me." "It's not what you think." "Calm down." "Cara Lynn is here for the reception, the party." "Shut up!" "You shut up and get out of the way." "You come near her again, either of you, I will kill you, I swear to God!" "Welcome aboard, Marilyn." "Thank you." "Hello." "May I help you?" "Yes." "Yes, you may." "Remove your nightgown." "Just let me admire you." "I want this to be special for you." "Steve, that is fantastic." "I'll put you down for $500." "Listen, I really appreciate this." "Thanks again." "Where you been?" "The casino." "Is something wrong?" "I saw Ana today." "Oh, she's engaged, by the way." "You might wanna talk to her about that." "What do you mean, engaged?" "Well, she has a fiancé." "They're very much in love." "Isn't that wonderful?" "So much love afoot, everywhere you turn." "And she told me when the baby was conceived." "What exactly does our religion say about a baby conceived out of wedlock in, say, premarital intercourse?" "Barb." "I made a mistake." "I'm an imperfect person." "I know that." "Barb, I'm sorry." "You know that?" "Because here's what I know." "It happened with Ana." "It happened with Marge." "So, what would you suggest I make of that?" "I've been tested and failed." "Everything's supposedly for a higher good." "The wives, the babies, the campaign, the billboards the big new campaign headquarters." "But I have to ask myself, Bill, is it truly for us?" "Or is it really just for you?" "Are you just trying to fix something that's broken in you?" "Barb, how can you think that after 1 8 years of marriage?" "You of all people." "Get Marge." "Get Nicki." "All three of you." "This is what the real-estate agent has been calling about." "This is what the campaign is about." "In just over a month, this could be ours." "A place where we can be ourselves, together under one roof." "No more hiding." "A place where we can love each other and be proud of who we are." "This is all I've ever wanted for all of us." "And for however imperfect I am, I'll never stop wanting it." "I need to see you." "We can't let them destroy us." "They're envious of what we have." "Meet me at the apartment." "Everything will be all right as long as we're together here." "I love you."
