"Transcript:" "Bonzai125 for Bierdopje.eu" " Big Love S02E11 - "Take Me As I Am"" "Anyone getting married?" "An old sorority sister..." "We used to be close." "'Morning Nick." "Hi sweetie!" " What's up?" "Nothing." "How about wild unsupervised compound parties in my backyard?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Sorry." "Fine, but I was supervising it." "Dad, it didn't even get off the ground." "Alby shut it down before the band played one song." "Alby was here?" "Just for a minute." "Where did you get the money for a band?" " Wanda brought it." "Why didn't you tell me that Alby was here?" "What did he want?" "Nothing." "Kathy Marquart." "Your dad wants her, but don't worry I got rid of him." "How?" "I told him he couldn't have her." "And that he couldn't hurt us anymore now that we diversified." "I don't understand." "Weber Gaming." "It took the wind right out of his sails." "No, I can't see you." "Mother!" "No no no." "Just let me talk." " I can't." "Why won't you?" "Have you left him?" "No!" "Are you going to?" "I had to read about your wedding in the paper!" "I'm sorry I couldn't tell you myself." "I'm not made of steel, you know?" "What about the children?" "You're trying to rope me in and I can't let you." "They need you." "I can't just see them once or twice a year and send them back to that house of yours." "You shouldn't put me in a position like this." "It is so unfair." "Mommy, who is it?" "You couldn't tell me either?" "You have to leave her alone." "She's on low blood pressure." "She's under a lot of stress." "I'm not talking to you." "There's no reason why we should be at each other, Alby." "We should be able to live peacefully in our separate spheres." "How could you think I hold any animosity?" "Because Wanda tried to murder me?" "Because you and your brother covered it up?" "Because you humiliated me in front of my father?" "Let's talk." " About what?" "About Weber Gaming, I know you know." "The company you stole from us." " I acquired it fairly." "I have something that could be much more useful to you." "I will determine what's useful to me." "I'll sell you my seat on the U. E. B." "Why would you do that?" "It's your toehold into our kingdom." "You can't have the power without a seat at the table." "And you can't vote Roman's until he passes." "It could be months, or years." "Alby!" "I don't have the same fascination with you my father seems to, Bill." "Without a voting seat on the E.U.B., you're just a pretender." "I appreciate your interest and will take it under advisement." ""That was great!"" "Who's L?" "What was great?" "She's my ex girlfriend." "We're just friends." "So, what was great?" "Sarah, we never said we were exclusive." "I didn't think we had to." "I didn't want to rush you into anything." "You think I should just be celibate?" "You could have been honest." "Ok, I'm being honest." "I think I should see other women." "Women?" "Plural?" "You know how much I care about you." "I can't take this responsibility." "What responsibility?" "The whole virgin thing!" "I'm not asking you to take responsibility for my virginity." "I don't want to put any pressure on you, I know you're not ready." "And I would never ask it of you, but" "I can't live like a monk either." " Ok, forget it." "What's her name?" "I'm sorry." "Flagraising tomorrow at 6AM and box seats at Pioneer Howdy Daze" "Could only get the barrel with it." "Thanks, Audrey." "Pioneer Howdy Daze." "Every year going trouts out the floats." "Joseph Smith in the centre of them." "There's no sign of his 34 wives." "You don't like the floating?" "I'm just tired of the hypocrisy, son." "I got to introduce Margie and your mother as my wives, together, at a convention in Wendover." "A Albert Grand called about an atorney's valuation of a U.E.B. seat." "You're giving up our seat on the U.E.B.?" "No, just a negociation tactic." "I want you to invite some of the Weber Gaming people over." "For the after parade party next Saturday." "Not a lot, just 4 or 5 people." "I don't even know the Weber Gaming people." "Sure you do." "You know Larry, Sean and Phil?" "Let's make it bigger than our little circle of dance family gathering." "You really think they will fit into our crowd?" "I don't think Peg and Jojo will want a round of shots." "Just make the call." "I don't feel I know them well enough to call them." "How far is this gonna go, Bill?" "Don't be dramatic." "Goodbye Bill." "I'll call Larry." " You don't have to." "I don't mind, we're having dinner this week." "Need to firm things up." "Who's having dinner?" "Me and Bill, Larry and his girlfriend Susie." "You should come!" "As an LDS woman, how do you feel about surrogacy?" "If the couple is in need." " That's what I think." "If a god-fearing couple," "I mean, a man and a woman, can't conceive." "What could be wrong with it?" "They're not easy to come by." "Barb!" "Margene!" "Margene Heffman?" "She's a surrogate." "I assumed you knew." "When she told me, I was floored." "There's only a handful of them in the state." "It's hard not to think that, living across the street from one, isn't a sign or something, don't you think?" "I mean, It would be Carl's sperm." "I never thought I'd hear myself say that." "It's allright, just Carl's sperm," "I tried to talk our Heavenly Father into letting us adopt." "That's not the answer for us." "And Carl is concerned." "If I can't have his children," "Where will his spirit go?" "To an atheist, or an addict?" "I want this so bad." "I'm prepared to offer her 50.000 dollars." "Don't rush into anything yet." "You told Bill I paid you a visit." "I don't care for that." "You and I need to have a more private relationship." "What do you want?" "I'm busy, I'm in the middle of making dinner." "Your husband stole Weber Gaming from Papa." "I have memo's, cancelled checks." "I have piles of evidence, that Papa was poised to buy Weber Gaming." "You were going to get Bill to give the company back." "Nicky, when our Papa wakes up, the first thing he will hear, is that you are a tithe stealer." "You stole 68.000 dollars, and the sad part is, he will believe it." "Because you are greedy and amoral, and you know everyone knows it." "I have stolen nothing." "And there's no way I can get Bill to return the company." "You better figure out a way, you hear me?" "Thief!" "Don't shut me out." "All I was doing was taking control of my own destiny." "Like my story to the neighbors." "I did not want to be the unwed mother, that's all." "It's ludicrous." "I feel sorry for Pam." "She even thinks it's a possibility." "What did you do?" "I told Pam I was a surrogate, because" "I did not want to be an unwed mother." "She wants me to have a baby for her and Carl." "I don't know if this is what I want But if I wanted it," "I want to be able to want it!" "What if I did want it?" "That's what I'm talking about!" "I am not going to have a hypothetical discussion with you whether or not you can be a surrogate." "I'd like to be a fly on the wall when you tell this to Bill." "I've been a baby factory for you, Barb." "Is that how you feel about it?" "I'm just saying you benefited." "I expanded your family when you couldn't anymore." "Why not Pam's?" "Because our purpose is to bring superior souls into this family." "Not give them away to every Sue, Jane and Sally on the block!" "Now look at what you've done!" "Hi!" "You must be Ben's mother?" "Yes..." "Can I help you?" "These are my girlfriends." "Sissy and Penny." "I don't feel the same way about Weber Gaming anymore." "I think you should get rid of it." "Has Barb been pressuring you?" "No." "Did she promise you something?" "No." "I'm just worried about what it's doing to us as a family." "Marge is getting agressive." "Barb feels put out to pasture." "It upsets the balance of 1-2-3." "We don't have to do things because that's the way they have always been done." "We can do things our way." "That's a good thing." "The Principle has been practised a certain way for over 3000 years." "The kinks have been worked out." "I want to mess with them." "I'm changing my vote." "Sorry, the polls have closed." "Step away from my navigator." "I have to pick up my dress." "Benny thinks he wants to be a polygamist." "Get in the car." "I'm worried about my son." "I don't know what to do." "I want you to take him." "For good?" "For weekends." "He could go to church with you." "He'd have different role-models." "For the rest of the summer, he can live with us." "I don't know if I can do that." "Ok, fine." "Enjoy your future daughters in law." "Let him come to the wedding." "Ok, you can bring my grandchildren to the wedding." "But afterwards, Ben has to stay and come to Sun Valley with us." "That's your honeymoon?" "He'll be surrounded by exceptional people." "So you pack a bag for him." "You bring it to the reception." "I have to get Bill to agree first." "By all means, you must run it by Bill." "Where's your mother gone off to?" "I need to speak with her." "What's wrong?" " Nothing." "You're all puffy." "Scott wants to see other girls." "What girls?" "Girls that will have sex with him." "Honestly, where do Ben and you find these people?" "How do you deal with it?" "What?" "The jealousy!" "I sublimate it, because I serve a higher purpose." "In your case there is no higher purpose and that's why it is a problem." "I can't believe how bad this feels." "I can't compete with them." "The girls that he knows go to college." "I'm sure she's laughing at me." "Listen to me." "She is a used-up hag!" "You are as fresh as a flower." "That's where your strength lies." "Men like the chase, that's what keeps them interested." "What are you saying?" "Make yourself better than those other girls." "Hold on to your chastity, but show him what he's missing." "We've gotta run!" "We've gotta go, Alby is coming!" "Come on!" "Kathy, get a suitcase." "Alby's gonna get me!" "No, he's after Kathy Dad wants her." "Where are we going?" "I don't know." "Frank is gonna get you." "He's gonna grab you and he's gonna get you!" "She sought out my counsel, Bill" "She'd only tell me." "She didn't eat her dessert." "She didn't eat her dinner." "She's gonna waste away to nothing!" "He actually asked her to date him while he sees other girls?" "Yes." "There are corosive influences out there." "And Weber Gaming will only open the door to this kind of behavior." "That's what I've been trying to tell you." "Does Barb know?" "No." "And don't tell Sarah I told you." "I took care of it." "Barb, I've finally come to my senses." "Once again your instincts were right." "I'm having serious second thoughts about Weber." "I think we should get rid of it." "What?" "Well, it's a day late now." "Your support might have mattered earlier." "Don't be a sore loser." "Let's just try and figure out a way to get rid of it." "When number 1 and 2 throw their lots together, there's nothing they can't accomplish." "Barb, I'm gonna tell you something." "And I want you to stay strong." "There's a whole sorry chapters to how Bill got Weber." "He stole it from the U.E.B." "What do you mean, stole it?" "My father was going to buy it first, but Bill went around his back and" "There's all this evidence and files..." "You don't understand, Bill would have told me." "I would have known this." "Oh, Barb." "It's not Barb and Bill anymore." "You're one of three now." "You get one third of the information, on a lucky day." "I'm sorry, it's true." "Did you know about any of this?" "Did you?" "We've got to unload this company or we're all doomed." "I understand you and Margie are going to dinner with Larry and his girlfriend?" "Yes, just a quick bite tomorrow." "You were going to tell me?" "Yes honey." "It just slipped my mind." "What do you want to tell me about Ben?" "I forgot what it was." "Don't worry about it." "You can take him." "Bill agreed?" "Yes." "He's a reasonable man." "I pray I find forgiveness in my heart for you." "What time does the reception begin?" "At two." "Barb?" " What?" "Nothing." "Just make sure Ben has some sweaters, the evenings can get chilly." "Mom?" "Nice place." "I'm set on getting one of these flatscreens." "Do you like it?" "Yes, I love it." "I understand you've been playing the field while dating Sarah." "Who told you that?" "My wife." "Which one?" "Yes," "I have three wives." "And I'm committed to all of them." "And you fooling around with girls on the side is not the same thing" "What do you want for Sarah?" "I would hope she would find a good healthy committed relationship." "A polygamist relationship?" "If she has the testimony for it." "You have no idea how unhappy you make her." "I liked you, Scott." "But if you are not going to treat my daughter with the respect she deserves, then I don't want you around her." "Scruffy" "What have you done with them?" "Tell me what you have done." "What's troubling you, sister Lois?" "Tell me where they are!" " Have they gone somewhere?" "I will pray for their swift return." "I know what you really are" "Remember that." "I would do no harm to Joey and his wife and son." "But even if I did, you'd never find the bodies." "Got you nose." "What did I do?" "You think that I overreacted about that girl?" "No..." "Why are we breaking up?" "Your father came to see me." "We shouldn't be near each other right now" "Don't let him do this to us." "I think he's crazy" "He just thinks he has a calling." "I'm sure he tries to look out for you" "Things were difficult enough between us before, and now that he's involved..." "Look," "I'm always going to care about you." "No." "I can't." "I know, I know." "We shouldn't be doing this." "You look beautiful." "I want to be with you." "Like we are." "I don't mind sharing you." "No," "It can work." "We're not wanted here." "No, I'm not wanted." "You are fine." "Just keep your head up." "That's your cousin Howard there." "Be sure to say hello." "What's the suitcase for?" "What's the suitcase for?" "What's going on?" "Listen to me." "I am your mother." "I have a say." "Listen to me for a change." " Hello, Barb." "Hello, Howard." "You look well." "I don't want you to say anything to my wife and children about Joseph Smith, or churchleaders or church teachings..." "If you try to convert any of us, to your new believes or get us to read any unapproved literature..." "Oh Ben, you're here!" "I'm so glad you came!" "Teeny, darling!" "Lovely Sarah!" "Welcome all of you!" "Why are you all dressed up?" "I'm attending." " No, I said the children!" "You misunderstoood me!" "Cindy, she misunderstood me." "Would you explain it to her?" "Children, come with me." "Come on, everybody." "Mom..." " Just a minute." "Mommy is on a very short leash." "Ned's children don't approve of her" "She's too liberal." "They had a fit when when mommy and Ned were sealed in the temple" "They were sealed?" "Ned wanted it that way." "But mommy is sealed to daddy!" "Ned wanted to be sealed so she was unsealed to daddy" "Ned's children don't want Ned to have to share Vera in the afterlife." "So the last thing mommy needs is to have you galloping around having a little polygamist meltdown." "No." "I'm staying!" "Wait one cotton-picking minute!" "She packed a suitcase and everything." "I just found out." "What?" "Mom is making me stay." "You have got to get me, dad." "And Cindy and all the relatives are here." "I don't want to go with Grandma, but mom won't listen." "She said I lost the right to my opinions." "What's wrong?" "Barb has abducted the children." "Sit tight, I'll be right there, Ben." "We should cancel dinner." " No, this will take 5 minutes." "I hope this table is having a lovely time." "Ben, your mother tells me that you're interested in the Airforce Academy." "Ned's a retired colonel." "I was, I'm not so sure right now." " He loves planes." "It's not something to be ambivalent about." "Are you seeing any girls?" "Anyone special?" "Yes, twins." "Jennifer, I hear you joined the drill team." "That's exciting." "They must be at each others' throats over you." "No, they want to marry the same guy, so they're happy." "Benjamin, you're being intentionally provocative." "I think the government should allow us to practice our religion openly." "You can serve your country and serve your God." "I guess in your case you can do both." "We're so glad to have you back in, Barb." "Will you have to be re-baptised?" "I've told everyone that you left Bill and are returning to the church." "Excuse me." "You can't tell everyone I left Bill!" "Why not?" "It's my wedding." "I can say whatever I like." "It's not about Bill, mother." "Maybe it was at first, but I am in it for me now." "I don't believe that." "It's made you compromise yourself." " Who doesn't compromise?" "No, it made you compromise yourself in a very fundamental way" "The sacrifice that you are trying to make goes against your nature." "I watched you smile through 43 years of marriage and I knew what that smile covered." "I adored your father." " Of course you did." "I loved him." "That made it worth it." "And I love Bill!" "But I expected more from you than to go crawling back to some polygamist stone age." "But you kowtowed the patriarchy!" "Keeping up appearances." " I struggled with this church!" "To obey it and to change it!" "I had your Aunt Gretchen over for Thanksgiving before it was even acceptable to tolerate homosexuals." "Then tolerate me!" "That's the least you can do!" " I can't just tolerate you." "You're my daughter!" "I'm responsible for your eternal salvation." ""Bill's in deeper than you can imagine."" "He didn't just buy the company, he fed us false information." "He led our girls astray, convinced people to hogtying Miss Adaleen." "He told our poor sister wives that their love for your father could be best expressed by spilling his blood to cleanse his sins." "He told them to take my father down." "He did." "He might as well have pulled the trigger." "Pitied us against your father and stole out from both of us." "His sins cry out for blood atonement." "Very truly yours, Hollis Green." "I'm not upset you side to take our children to a wedding, where they'd rather just spit on me than look at me." "I just want to understand if you planned on sending our son away without telling me." "Yes, I did." "It must have slipped my mind." "We're leaving." " No, Bill." "I am not leaving." "Yes, you are." " No." "I want to stay here." "He's dating twins from the compound, whose primary aspiration is to marry the same man before they turn 17." "That's so off the rails!" "Our son believes he has the calling to live the Principle." "I'm not going to forbid it." "Of course he has the calling." "He has no other influences." "Are we going to fight about the children every day of our marriage the next 20 years?" "Did you steal Weber Gaming from Roman?" "Who told you that?" " Did you?" "We were interested in the same business, I won." "You've given up everything you know to be right." "I am breaking my back to carry this family." "I don't know what's guiding you anymore, Bill." "Who are you becoming?" "It's a formal dress wedding, Bill." "Hello, Nancy." "You look older." "You haven't aged a bit." "We took you into our home." "We loved you like our own son." "Then I'll never know how much I broke your heart." "That's right." " I'm sorry." "Get a jacket." "You're here." "You might as well stay." "You ruined my life." "You might as well wreck my wedding." "Ned," "I'm sorry about Vera." "Congrats on Nancy." " You sure don't screw up on your life." "You're on the path to being a somebody." "I believe I am on my true path." "Have you seen Ben anywhere?" "I understand you have a new business." " That's right." "The state is coming down pretty hard on gambling these past years." "Four-square against it." "Doesn't seem to have stopped us." "Why don't you use your influence to lift the gambling ban in Utah?" "Wouldn't be half as profitable if it were legal." "Listen," "Keep Barb out of your business." "Would make my life easier." "Nancy is telling everyone Barb is leaving you." "Can I help?" " No, we're fine." "No, let me help." "Dad!" "You're staying." "What?" "Just toe the line, Ben" " She tried to kidnap me." "The Principle isn't a way of rebellion." "Show me you're mature to handle this." "Exercise discretion." "I know you're still angry about Brynn, but stop torturing your mother." "I thought you told Bill you were bringing Ben." "Look at him." "Why can't that be enough?" "Look at your beautiful Sarah, and Ben." "What's wrong in his nature that that's not enough for him." "Mom," "Bill loves me and accepts me for who I am." "There's some ice cream in the chest for a-la-mode." "Uncle Bill," "Can you really say that your Apostasy has brought you serenity and joy?" "Shut up." " What?" "Something has happened at Joey, Wanda and Kathy." "They've been taken out and murdered in cold blood." "They haven't been murdered, don't start." " Stop telling me not to start." "Listen to me." "I think Joey did something crazy." "The word around here is that..." "Alby had Kathy reeducated." "Reeducated?" " That's right!" "Kathy got nabbed by Alby." "Joey would have been beside himself when he found out." "So he fought for Kathy" "And then Alby had them both killed." "That's what happened." "I know it." " I'll see what I can find out." "Oh gosh, Margie!" "I don't know where they are, Bill." "Glad to hear it." "Now, you want this deal?" "Start acting like the shepherd of your flock and find them." "I have no interest in harming your family." "I know damn well you've been talking to Nicky." "Knock it off." "Your E.U.B. seat is hanging by a thread." "Honey, I'm sorry." "Is everything ok?" "Bill, we have to leave right now." "We're going to be so late." "I can't." "I need to take care of this." "What's the emergency?" "It's her mother's wedding, Margie." "Good." "So?" " I think it is important that I stay." "Oh, no!" " Do you want to take the car?" "I'll be back as soon as I can." "I'll be back!" "You told!" "I asked you not to tell." "And you've told." "What are you doing here?" "I've no idea what you are talking about." " Your husband has a murderous soul." "He wanted Weber Gaming so badly he tried to kill our father to get it." "He had the Greens pump 3 bullets into Papa's body." "And here you are, living in the highlight of the profits." "You're the one reaping the rewards, the self-appointed successor." "You're a joke." "People love me, and I love them." "Papa is dying, Nicky." "His lungs are filling." "It's a matter of days, before he's back in the Celestial Kingdom." "Prepare yourself." "Bill didn't do what you say." "How dare you lying about my husband?" "If you want to come back to us, come tonight." "Because vengeance will rain down on this family." "If you don't," "I have to wash my hands, Nicolette." "Margie, where are you?" "Trapped in a stupid car like a dog." "Put Bill on the phone now!" "I can't, it's happened again." " What?" "Barb has decided it's time to check out of the family, taking the kids with her." "What are you talking about?" "I'm going in there, and tell her if she wants out, if she hates us so much, she should just leave." "Shut up Margie, where are you?" "Mom's big ass wedding" "Bill stuck me out in the car for over an hour!" "I'm going in now, forget it." " Margie, don't move." "Stay put, don't you dare going in there." "Come on, kids." "Why don't you want to go to Sun Valley?" "Are you kidding?" "It's on a lake." "We have a lake here." "Do you remember, when we were little, and you and me and mon and dad, went with grandma to that horse farm?" "No." "Are you telling people you're leaving?" "No." "Do you want me here?" "Do you want to be here?" "I wouldn't have thrown your family away, if it were my choice." "Will you dance with your father?" "You look terrific." "I want you to know something." "You can confide in me about anything." "I might actually surprise you." "Any guy who doesn't see how special you are, doesn't deserve you." "Dad." " I mean it." "And you expect me to take you seriously?" "I'm not telling you how to live your life." "Do you realize you have no credibility?" "There's nothing that you can say to me about relationships, or life, that I will ever listen to you." "Wave to your mother." "Excuse me, Barbara?" "Mother would like to have a visit with you and dad in the front driveway." "I'll be right back." "What are you doing here?" "Where's Bill?" "Are you leaving us again, Barb?" " No!" "You're overreacting." "Go home!" "I am finally making headway with my mother, and this is undermining any chance of a reconciliation." "Baloney!" "You trumped this all up because you're angry I'm having dinner with Larry and Susie." "That's ridiculous." " I'm not so sure, Barb." "And you're taking Ben away?" " Yes, tell her!" "You don't approve of Ben living the Principle, but what are we living, Barb?" "This is my family." " They don't want you in there, Barb." "Nicky, what's going on?" "This is what always happens." "You choose Barb." "Again and again." "Well, listen up everyone." "I like the Weber people." "They're real people and we're keeping it." "Margie, hush up!" "Just go home." "Alby came to the house." "I need you to tell me right now." "Did you know what the Greenes were going to do to my father?" "No, of course not." "Did you put up the Greenes to shooting my father for Weber Gaming?" "Never question me on that level again." "It was business." "I got stuck between them." "This discussion is over." "All of you listen very clearly." "We are moving ahead with Weber Gaming." "Together, as one family, in harmony." "Listen folks, kindly take this little hullabaloo elsewhere." "Shut up, you." " Nicky, that's enough!" "I'll have you arrested for trespassing." "Cindy, give it a rest." "All of you, stop it!" "Stop it at once!" "I'm sorry, they're going." " It's time for you to go." "Right now." "Nancy, don't do this." "Let her stay." "We'll go." "No." "It's ok." "I'm going." "You can stay with your mother if you need to." "Come on, let's go." "Cindy, go inside." "Barbara?" "What do you expect me to do?" "I know this is painful for you." "It's supposed to be." "I don't know if I'll see you in the afterlife." "If you'll be with daddy or Ned, or I'ill be with you or Bill." "But I know, at the very least, I just want to see you in this life." "This is your one big test." "Bill?" "What?"
