"It's our anniversary today." "What do you mean, it's our anniversary?" "I mean since I came to America." "Yes, it's been a week." "I still can't believe you flew 6,000 miles to see me." "I cannot believe you cannot believe." "How should we celebrate?" "Well, we should stay in bed all day." "All day?" "Yeah." "You don't think we should go out to look at the sun or anything?" "The sun?" "The sun will be there tomorrow." "I know, but so will my children." "And once they come..." "I know, no more spending the night." "No." "I'm sorry." "You know, their dad just got remarried." "And I don't think it'd be right for them to, you know, come home from Europe after being there for months, to find me shacked up with a..." "I..." "I understand." "Thank you." "Go away." "You should take it." "Oh, God." "It's probably my mother." "Go pick it up." "Hello." "Oh, hi, Joe." "That's my ex." "What's up?" "You said tomorrow." "Well, you know what?" "Thanks for letting me know." "You've gotta go." "Where?" "Out the back." "Hello." "We're here." "Mom." "Come on." "They're here." "Mom, we're here." "Okay, don't leave till my ex drives out of the driveway." "I'll call you." "Mommy." "Hello." "Hello." "Mom." "Where is she?" "Hi." "Oh, my God." "Mommy!" "Look at you." "We missed you." "Oh, you, too." "I love the hair." "Thank you." "It's so cute." "How was Roma?" "Good." "Thanks, Joe." "We missed you." "You both look so beautiful." "Thank you." "Should we get your stuff?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Thank you." "Oh, you're awake." "Guided meditation." "You're visualizing fireworks." "Yeah." "It's like the 4th of July in here." ""Imagine your white blood cells are hurtling towards a cancer cell..." "And with a flash, it explodes." "Then feel the warmth as a healing white light" "Rains down on your body."" "Mm." "Oh, my God." "It sounds so stupid when you read it like that." "Kitty, I have seen you destroy major, blowhard congressman with sheer will and brain power." "I'm all for you using that to heal yourself." "Yeah, but taking down congressmen was a lot more fun." "You know, there is a, uh, tribute to William F. Buckley tonight at the Reagan library." "I'm sure there's plenty of party unfaithful you could straighten out if you want to." "Tonight?" "Really?" "Well... well, yes." "Well, Robert, do you have any idea how long it's been since I've been out of the house other than to go to the doctor?" "I mean, yes." "I am... i am absolutely, 100%, totally and completely up for it." "Good." "Then get back to visualizing fireworks." "Okay." "I'll come get you around 6:00." "We'll use the chopper." "Okay." "No, no, I..." "I'm telling you, he's beyond awful." "I mean it's hopeless." "Justin cannot dance." "You know what he suggested we do for our wedding dance?" "That we sway." "That we just sway." "Okay, sweetie, don't panic." "Maybe we need to hire a professional." "Yeah." "Hey, uh, I'm sorry to interrupt..." "Yeah." "But I'm covering the phones, and there's a guy on there" "Who, uh, called and said he wants to talk to you, and he's not gonna take no for an answer." "Did he say what it was about?" "Uh, he said his name is Felix Newsome, and he's from National Capital Redemption." "Mm." "Sounds like a cold call to me." "Tell him I'm not interested." "Okay." "So why don't we hire a dance coach?" "Because, mom, they're expensive." "I'll take care of it." "I've already put a deposit on a block of 30 rooms at the Hakalea Regency." "Dance lessons are a drop in the bucket." "Mom, you are being so generous." "I don't know how I'm gonna thank you for all of this." "I don't want you to thank me." "I want to do it." "You deserve the perfect wedding day." "I can't believe you made these yourself." "With all the orders that I'm getting, I can barely keep up." "I'm gonna have to figure out a way to increase production." "I can't do it myself, not while working double waitressing shifts." "Well, how much do you think you need?" "$10,000 should cover the materials, but then there's also..." "Hi." "Hi..." "Michelle." "Michelle, of course." "How are..." "Wow." "It's... it's been a while." "Oh, are those for me?" "Uh, sorry, no." "They're for Kitty." "Hi." "Hi." "Michelle has been busy making handbags." "Wow, you made these?" "She has her own line." "She's looking for investors." "But I said we needed to talk about it first." "Of cour... of course, yeah." "We should..." "Yeah, we should talk, definitely." "I have a business plan and everything, and you should trust my judgment, because I was the first one to say that you two were meant for each other." "Yes, you're definitely right about that." "Um, I'm sure Scotty told you," "Uh, we... we want to have a baby." "Yeah, he said that you were gonna put it off for a little while, though, right?" "Yes." "Uh, well, yes and no." "Uh, you see, we actually met with a surrogacy agency, and you would not believe how much they charge." "And, um, seeing as this is something we want to do eventually, I'm not sure if we want to tie ourselves in to any financial commitments." "Oh." "Oh, okay." "I..." "I understand." "Just out of curiosity, how much is it?" "Oh, uh, it's... it's, uh, it's well into the six figures." "That's how much a surrogate makes?" "Oh, well, you know, there's a... there's a whole list of people you have to pay... the agency, the egg donor, uh, doctors... and we want a local surrogate, so that's another up-charge." "And there's a year-long waiting list." "Oh, my God." "What's the matter?" "Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?" "I don't know." "What are you thinking?" "I could be your surrogate." "Oh, that's so funny." "No, no, I..." "I'm serious." "I mean, I could quit my job, and that way," "I could make my handbags full-time." "And I could have your baby." "And it'd save you guys, like, a ton of money." "You guys, it's perfect." "Sarah, I'm sorry." "I can't." "I just can't." "I have a full house right now with Kitty and Robert and Evan staying here." "I can't take in some random Frenchman." "Well, he's not a random Frenchman, mom." "Come on." "It's just for a couple of days." "It's too early to introduce him to Paige and coop, and I need some time alone with them to break the news about Kitty." "Sweetie, I'm thrilled you found someone you like, but this is really not a good time." "Besides that, I don't even know this guy." "None of us do." "I don't even know his name." "Well, his name's Luc, and if you want to meet him," "I can bring him in and introduce him." "He's waiting out in the front." "Sarah, for God sakes." "You're trying to railroad me." "I will meet him." "That's it." "Meet who?" "Luc." "Lu..." "Lu..." "Luc is here?" "Yes, he's outside." "Mom won't let him stay 'cause she says she doesn't have enough room." "Well, Kitty, I just don't think it's good to have a stranger wandering around the house when you're not feeling well." "Actually, I think that Robert and I are gonna go back to the ranch." "You know, just until my next treatment." "What?" "Okay, I'll go get Luc." "Kitty, don't you think it's too soon to go home?" "No, no, honestly, mom." "I-I woke up this morning, and I don't..." "I don't know," "I just..." "I..." "I feel so much better." "I mean, I'm..." "I'm gonna go to an event tonight" "At the Reagan library." "Tonight?" "Oh, honey, are you sure?" "Yesterday, you could barely keep anything down." "Look, sweetie, you might feel good today, but if you do too much too soon, you could have a setback." "Mom, I think you should look at it this way... you were so brilliant at taking care of me, that I just..." "I just..." "I..." "I bounced back." "Mom, Kitty, I would like to introduce you to Luc Laurent." "Nora, I'm so pleased to meet you." "And thank you for inviting me to this beautiful home." "You're welcome." "You must be Kitty." "Yeah, hi." "You know, Sarah told me that you're not feeling well lately, but to me, you look radiant." "I..." "Is that the word... r... radiant... radiant?" "Yeah, that's a good word." "Like the sun." "Yeah, yeah, like..." "like the sun." "Beautiful." "Okay, then." "Well, I'll just settle Luc in." "My room's good, right, mom?" "See you later." "You'll love it." "It's... it's the blue room." "You know, um..." "Mom, I think that maybe you're right." "I think that I should probably stay for just a couple more days, just to make sure, you know, that I don't have some sort of setback." "Robert." "Nora." "Am I interrupting something?" "No, no." "Is Kitty okay?" "She's the same." "I..." "I was just over at the Asian market trying to find pickled ginger." "It's good for your stomach." "Mm." "But could I talk to you for a second?" "Sure." "I'm..." "I'm worried about Kitty going to this event tonight." "Mm." "You know how excited she gets at political gatherings like this." "And she'll be around so many people, and her white blood cell count is down and her immune system is not strong." "I don't want her to pick up a virus." "Okay, I promise you, I will keep an eye on her." "I will watch her like a hawk." "Just try not to worry." "Well, that's easier said than done." "Well, you gotta trust me on this one." "She's gonna be okay." "Okay, I have a room full of angry constituents, and I should..." "All right, go." "Go, go, go." "Look, this is a huge step, and I'd rather do it the normal way, which is through an agency." "And normal to you is picking some stranger out of a book?" "That's how it's done." "Well, normal to me is finding someone I know who cares about us and who's invested in going through this process with us." "I'm not comfortable with her being our surrogate." "Why?" "You have to admit, she's a little flaky." "She is not." "She's my friend." "And she helped me through a lot of really tough times when a lot of people labeled me as flaky." "You know what?" "I feel like this is another case of my opinion not mattering as much as yours does.." "I'm s..." "I'm..." "Would you mind not taking a text message while I'm talking to you?" "It's from Kitty. "You should really come over to mom's."" "I have to go." "I'm really sorry." "Kevin, I really... ugh." "No, I'm sorry." "We'll talk about this later." "You go forward, I go back." "So it's back, side, close." "Forward, side, close." "Ba... okay, here we go." "You d... put your arm around me." "Mom, mom, mom, no." "This is weird." "I'm..." "I don't want to do this." "You have to get used to it." "There's a whole lot of protocol about the first dance." "And Holly has done so much for this wedding." "I don't want the Walkers to be the weak link." "Come on." "We have to do this before Kitty and Evan wake up from their nap." "Okay, now you go forward, side, close." "Back, side, close." "All right." "You have to look up." "Don't look at your feet." "Mom, I'm sorry." "I'm not gonna need to know how to do this, all right?" "I'm not gonna be doing the box fox at my wedding." "It is the box step." "It's the foundation for all of ballroom dancing." "You learn this, and you've learned everything." "Now come on." "Here we go." "Here we go." "It's old-fashioned, mom." "I'm not gonna do it." "You're twisting my hand." "First of all, you have to..." "Well, I don't know what to do, mom." "Hi." "You must be Justin." "Nice to meet you." "Yeah, you're Luc, right?" "Nice to meet you." "You guys were practicing the box step?" "Yeah." "Uh, yeah." "It's for my... my wedding." "Oh, well, you know there is more, like, modern dances you can do, especially at your age." "You know, uh, that's a little stiff." "Yeah, ones that maybe aren't so old-fashioned?" "Yeah." "My... my grandmother ran a dance studio in Paris, and she made me dance with all those girls." "I mean, not that I minded." "Um, I'm sayin', I can really help you out, man, if... uh..." "You know, we don't want to keep you from your swim." "Is your bride a good dancer?" "Uh, yeah." "You know, she... she's, like, practically semi-professional." "Okay, well, I have a dance that I can show you." "It looks like you will lead, everything, but she will do all the move." "What about that..." "Let me show you." "Let me show you." "No, I..." "Luc, you know, he barely will dance with me." "Yeah," "I really don't think he's gonna dance with you." "Don't worry." "You will love this." "Watch." "I'm not really a dancer..." "I'll be her." "You be you." "Here." "Here we go." "Un, deux, trois." "Okay, turn." "No, no, no." "Stay there." "Okay." "You turn around like this." "Okay?" "Whoa." "Hey." "Okay." "Come back for a big finish." "You support her back, keep your balance, because we're gonna dip." "No, we're not dipping." "We're not dipping." "I don't like dipping." "Oh!" "Kevin, what the hell is the matter with you?" "I..." "I..." "I don't..." "I don't know." "I th..." "I just lost feeling in my extremities." "You scared the hell outta me." "I coulda dropped him." "Wh..." "I'm Luc." "Nice to meet you, Kevin." "I'm..." "I'm Kevin." "Let me help you." "Sorry." "Would you get a grip?" "Luc, don't do it." "I'm gonna get a broom." "I'm sorry." "Oh, no." "Okay, you get points for persistence, but what exactly is "national capital redemption"?" "We regulate securities dealers and distributors." "Okay, so why are you here?" "You are familiar with the Lasgrove investment fund?" "Yes, they manage my money." "I'm sorry to say, the fund's in default." "Wait, wait, wait, wait." "No, see..." "Lasgrove defrauded its investors with overstated rates of return, new investor funds covering margin calls." "What are their assets?" "At the moment, the fund has assets amounting to roughly 1% of its outstanding liabilities." "Oh, my God." "Your attorney may be able to pursue a claim against the personal assets of the funds managers, but... but that will take years." "I'm afraid so." "I'm very sorry." "You want to see what we got for uncle Kevin?" "It's really cool." "A stein." "From Dusseldorf." "He's gonna love it." "Wait till you see what we got for aunt Kitty and Evan." "When can we see everyone so we can give 'em our gifts?" "Uh... you'll see them soon." "Listen, honey, um, before we see aunt Kitty, there's something I've got to tell you guys." "We got this in Florence." "Think she'll like it?" "I think she'll love it." "What's wrong, mom?" "Nothing." "It's just so beautiful." "What were you gonna say before?" "Aunt Kitty's gonna be so happy to see you two." "She's missed you so much." "Cool." "Oh, come on, you guys." "You have to at least pretend not to be staring." "Oh, please." "This coming from the person who sent us a text message" "Telling us to rush over here as if the house was on fire?" "The house is on fire." "He can't see us anyway." "He has chlorine in his eyes and dancing in his soul." "He's a really strong swimmer." "I wish he'd stop swimming and get out of the pool." "Oh, hey, give this to Kevin." "What for?" "The drool on your chin." "Can you guys give it a rest, please?" "Justin, what is wrong with you?" "I'm just tired of listening to you all objectify him, all right?" "I mean, he happens to be a very nice guy." ""Objectify"?" "Oh, Justin!" "Kitty, for goodness sakes." "I thought you were taking a nap." "Oh, Scotty, Rebecca, what brings you here?" "Kitty." "Oh, yes." "Adonis bathes in the sea..." "It makes total sense now." "Mom, I'm getting the distinct impression that you don't like him." "I like him just fine, just fine." "If he were underfoot in your house, you would not be so enamored of him." "Wanna bet?" "All right." "He's handsome in an obvious sort of way." "But that's no reason to act like a bunch of teenagers." "Yeah, I agree." "Hi, everybody." "Oh, for God sake." "Has everyone in this family lost his mind?" "No, I just... somebody said it was a great day for a swim, so here I am." "Kitty, look, I'm gonna go in the house and make you something cold to drink and maybe a tuna fish sandwich would be a good idea." "He's getting out." "He's getting out." "He needs a towel." "Should I give him a towel?" "Don't give him a towel." "Hey." "Hey." "Luc, bonjour." "Voilà, je m'apelle Saul." "Enchanté." "Je suis I'oncle de Sarah." "Unbelievable." "Oh, he is." "Oh, my..." "So how did they handle the news about Kitty?" "I didn't tell them yet." "Look, I was about to, mom, but they were so happy and excited about their trip, and they were so proud of all the presents they got," "I just..." "I just didn't have the heart to tell them that their aunt Kitty is so sick." "Look, I know it's hard, but you can't put it off." "They're gonna want to see her soon." "Mom, I get it okay." "I will handle it." "Anyway, how are you and Luc getting along?" "He's not in the way or anything is he?" "If he is, just tell him." "Or you know what?" "Tell me and I'll tell him." "Look, as soon as Kitty and robert leave," "I'm gonna pack Evan up, take him over there." "I can put him to sleep, and then you can come over here and see for yourself." "Oh, whoa, whoa, wait." "What's wrong?" "I just want to see my grandkids." "Besides, Luc is cooking a big French dinner for everyone." "And I'm not in the mood for another party." "What do you mean, another party?" "We've already had a dancing party and a pool party." "Oh, my God." "You hate him, don't you?" "No, no, I don't." "I like him the exact right amount" "For someone who I just met this morning." "I just was hoping to not have so much commotion around Kitty today." "Okay, mom." "I get it." "I'll talk to him tonight, okay?" "Bye." "All right." "Bye." "C'est magnifique." "Quelle est l'herbe?" "Uh, échalotte, et un petit peu de basilic." "Okay." "Chop-Chop." "Ooh-La-La." "Well, thank you." "Très, très jolie." "Oh, Kitty, you look beautiful." "Doesn't she look beautiful?" "Yes, you do." "Gosh, all those republicans don't deserve you." "Well, thank you." "I..." "I think." "Goodbye, darling." "Mom, please." "Stop worrying." "I'm gonna be fine." "I'll take good care of her." "Thank you." "Okay, call me on my cell." "Robert has his cell." "Ring twice, 'cause it might be loud in there." "If we don't answer it, it might be loud in there." "Well, you don't worry." "Bye." "Bye." "Do you want to try one of those mushrooms?" "No, no, no, and please..." "make yourself at home." "Come on, Evan." "Let's go." "I thought you were gonna call me when you got home." "Oh, sorry." "I got distracted with business and..." "Is everything okay?" "Yeah, I'm just a little tired." "I..." "I've been going over all these expenses from the wedding." "Do you have any idea how expensive a photographer is?" "I was thinking that maybe you could do it." "Yeah, I..." "I guess I could do it, but I'm the father of the bride." "I mean, I might be a little busy walking Rebecca down the aisle." "Then why don't you pitch in and pay for a few things, being the father of the bride?" "Okay." "So tell me what you need help with." "Well, where would you like me to start?" "I don't know." "How about with, um, what the hell is your problem?" "I don't need this from you right now." "Wait a minute." "I walk in the house, you... you bite me head off, and now it's my fault?" "You know, I'm a little tired of being treated like the ATM machine." "I would like to make a toast to Luc." "He's the first chef-artist-dancer-swimmer that I have ever known..." "a true Renaissance man." "Santé." "Thank you." "Santé." "Cheers." "I have to say, I've experienced the artist-chef, but the swimmer-dancer is new to me." "Then let's go for a swim, everybody." "I don't think any of us brought our swimming trunks." "No." "We don't need trunks." "It's dark, and there are no children around." "Luc, I love how really, really French you are." "Yeah, and sadly, we're really, really American." "And related." "Well, I guess that leaves dancing." "Shall we?" "I'm in." "Oh, me, too." "I think I'm gonna pass on the whole thing." "No, we have to show them what we learned." "No, we're in." "We're in." "You're in." "Here you are." "I missed you." "You know what ice cream's called in Rome?" "What?" "Gelato." "Well, if I lived in Italy, I would eat gelato every day." "I did." "Didn't I, Paige?" "Uh, Paige, which did you like best, France or Italy?" "I don't know." "Honey, are you okay?" "Is aunt Kitty sick?" "I heard mom talking on the phone, and she said aunt Kitty's really sick." "I feel like something really bad happened while we were gone that nobody wants us to know about." "No, look..." "I don't want you to be scared, okay?" "Listen to me." "Aunt Kitty is sick." "She has a disease, an illness, called lymphoma." "A lot of people have it, and they're fine." "Slow down." "The Reagan library's not going anywhere." "Oh, I hate helicopters." "Wait, I..." "I thought you loved helicopters." "Robert, I spent two hours on my hair." "And you look beautiful." "What's this?" "A celebration." "I mean... it's not the reagan library." "A celebration of what?" "Of getting through your first treatment with strength and good humor... of you and your white blood cells fighting the good fight... of how much I love and admire you." "You never do anything halfway, do you?" "Not when it comes to you." "Oh, nice." "Bravo." "Wow." "Beautiful." "You're a miracle worker." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Okay, let's not go overboard." "Go, Justin." "Good boy." "Well done." "Okay, Ms. Walker, may I have the honor of the next dance?" "Oh, I would be delighted." "What is your pleasure?" "Would you like to waltz or would you like to fox trot or..." "I think I'd like to tango." "Ooh." "Tango... it's very difficult dance." "Are you saying I can't do it?" "Oh, no, no, no." "I know how to tango." "Okay, you guys dance." "We'll watch and learn." "Okay." "Watch those hands, Luc." "Oh!" "Ooh." "Nice." "Great." "Oh." "I can do that." "Oh, that's too much." "That was great." "Thanks." "Okay, you have to teach me how to do that." "And me." "Yes!" "Oh, come on." "It's fun." "Oh, no, no, you know," "I'm gonna let the smoke settle out there." "Yeah, I agree." "Oh, no, no, no." "Come on." "Then I won't have a partner." "I don't want to." "Come on, Kevin." "Please." "Yes, yes, yes." "Come on, Kevin." "Don't be so uptight." "By all means, let's tango." "Stand up straight." "I am." "Hands behind the back." "Right." "Bravo." "Same thing." "So which one of you wants to be the man?" "I will." "Good." "Wait." "Why do you get to be the man?" "I don't know." "Let's both be the man." "Kevin, you're both suited to be the man, but a tango, it won't work unless one person lead and the other person follows." "So..." "Okay." "Alors..." "Okay, it would be a very bad mistake to think that a woman is less than a man, in a dance or in life, you know?" "Um, the man and woman play their parts, but... it's equal." "Luc, that was beautifully put." "Yes, it was." "Thank you." "All right, boys, make up your mind." "Our arms are getting very tired, okay?" "Come on, Kevin." "Just be the girl." "Please." "Yeah, come on, Kevin." "Man up and be the girl." "Look, I didn't even want to dance." "Oh, my God." "You can't do it." "If it's so equal, why don't you do it?" "Come on, Kevin." "This is really starting to piss me off." "No, no, no, it's not about being the girl." "It's about following, isn't it?" "No one's allowed to make any of the decisions but you." "I'm supposed to follow and do whatever you want." "I have never bossed you around." "But somehow, all the important decisions are always yours... where we live, when we have a baby, how we have a baby, who takes care of the baby after it's born." "I'm sorry." "I'm not having this argument here." "Oh, when we have an argument." "I think the tango was not a good idea." "You know what?" "I'm making a decision now." "We're leaving." "Good night, everybody." "Luc, thank you for a wonderful meal." "Guys, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry if we spoiled your dance lesson." "Kevin, I think you should follow." "Sometimes, men can be so stupid." "We are all fools when it comes down to love... me included." "She wasn't there when I left." "Don't worry, mom." "It was really good for her to have a night where cancer wasn't the center of her life." "Good for you, too, by the way, just to hang out with the kids and not think about it for a bit." "Well, that isn't exactly how it turned out." "Why is that?" "Paige was weird all night." "She was moody and quiet, and then... she asked me about Kitty." "Well, what did she say?" "Evidently, she overheard you talking on the phone saying Kitty is sick." "Oh, God." "Did you cover for me?" "No, Sarah." "I didn't cover for you." "I told them the truth." "Mom, I said that I would handle this." "Well, you didn't handle it." "Well, I was going to handle it before you sent me over to the house to handle Luc." "She asked me point-blank, "is aunt Kitty sick?"" "You should've seen the look on their faces." "I couldn't lie to them." "They'd never trust me again." "Well, you should've said that I would talk to them." "I'm their mother." "Now I'm the one that has to regain their trust." "And you know how Paige is when she thinks I'm treating her like a child." "I can't believe you did that, mom." "Sarah, I answered simply and honestly to a question from a very scared, very upset little girl." "And I have to tell you, you might think about" "Telling your children the truth about" "Ol' pepe le pew over at my house, because if they ask me who he is, I'm not gonna lie to them." "You know what, mother?" "Just don't worry about it." "I will move him out tomorrow." "Fine." "Every other member of this family is very fond of Luc, including Kitty, because he's fun and full of life." "But you can't stand that because you just... you want us all to handle Kitty's cancer the way that you do." "Well, sometimes, mom, you gotta let up." "Sometimes being vigilant about every little thing just doesn't help anybody but you." "You can come pick him up tomorrow morning anytime you like." "I'm up at 6:00." "I'm going upstairs to get Evan." "I'll see you then." "David." "I..." "I'm sorry... what I said about the money." "You know, Holly, I thought we had that worked out months ago, but if you feel like I'm not contributing enough around here, why don't you just say so?" "No, no, no." "And I'll..." "I'll write you a check." "No, that's not it." "Something's changed." "I..." "I..." "I can..." "I can barely breathe." "Holly, what..." "The fund that I invested all my money in?" "It was this huge scam." "Oh, no." "I..." "I was so stupid to invest my money in this one fund." "I should've known better." "But the returns were so good, and then I got greedy." "I..." "I should've asked more questions, and I should've been more vigilant..." "Wait, wait, wait." "What do you mean, everything?" "I..." "I..." "I..." "I mean everything." "I mean, all of my savings, all of the money that William left me." "It's all gone?" "What am I gonna do about the wedding?" "I promised her Hawaii." "I told her that she could have this one perfect day." "Okay, Holly, you still have Ojai." "It's a successful company, Holly." "Wh..." "Successful?" "It is gonna take us months or even years to get out from under the debt that tommy put us in." "All I have are stocks in the company and this house." "I'm back to where I started." "You look so beautiful in that dress, it's almost a shame to waste it on just me." "Oh, it's all right." "You know, I only used the Buckley dinner as a cover so I could surprise you." "I'm starting to think that my surprise isn't as good as my cover story." "I don't know." "I guess I was just hoping for a night without cancer." "Well, everybody at that event knows you have cancer." "Half of them were at the press conference when I announced it, and the other half have sent flowers and e-mails." "So you wouldn't have had a..." "a night without cancer there." "No, you're right." "I just..." "I..." "I just had this fantasy that I would be able to walk in, you know, looking normal and healthy, and that we would stay up late and reminisce and argue policy and..." "I wouldn't have to wear a big "c" on my forehead." "I get that." "And I don't know exactly how to articulate this without sounding ungrateful, but..." "I don't want special treatment just because I have cancer." "I wish you would've told me that earlier." "I know." "And I'm sorry." "But... but this is how I feel." "I'm telling you now that I..." "I just..." "I really want to feel normal." "Okay, well, look, I think we're gonna have a little issue here in about a minute." "Oh, my God." "Oh, God." "Sorry." "It's not like I don't love your grand gestures." "Do you remember the first time I brought you up here?" "Valentine's day." "You'd never been in a helicopter." "That was the first time we ever had sex." "Okay, just so you know, that kind of result tends to encourage me." "Right, and just so you know, it wasn't the helicopter." "All right." "Okay." "Look, this is gonna take some adjusting." "Aspiring to be normal isn't exactly in my DNA." "You know, where I come from, the bigger the fight, the more firepower." "I've noticed that." "But here's the thing... at the end of the day, all that power... you still won't be able to fix it so I don't have cancer." "And it breaks my heart to watch you try." "Tell me what you need... but make it small and unassuming." "You know what?" "I know." "Why don't we just go home... watch Evan sleep?" "That would be perfect." "Good." "All I'm saying is, I think it's dangerous to use the tango as a metaphor for our marriage." "Okay..." "No, I don't think either one of us should lead or follow." "Okay, but what if one of us has a really strong intuition about something?" "And what if one of us just needs the other person to trust him?" "What... what if... one of..." "I'm..." "I'm sorry." "I got lost in the pronouns." "Okay, I need you to hear me." "I need you to understand." "I am!" "I love you, and I want to start a family with you, and I want to start soon." "And when the stars align and suddenly it's possible, when the universe gives us an opportunity like this, I..." "I just don't think it's very gracious to argue." "We would have to treat her like any other surrogate." "Of... of course." "And she has to do all the tests..." "Okay." "Drugs, mental, physical... everything." "Agreed." "And she's only the surrogate." "She is not the egg donor." "Okay." "And I get all the handbags I want." "Deal. "Deal"?" "Come here." "Come here." "Don't let it slam..." "Oh!" "Oh, my God." "Kitty, what happened?" "Are you all right?" "Yeah, yeah." "I just..." "I stupidly mentioned that I felt a little dizzy, and so Galahad here decided to sweep me up." "Oh, well, thank God for Sir Galahad." "But listen, if it's too much of a gesture," "I could put you down right now." "Oh, that's not a good idea." "Can I get you anything?" "No." "We're fine." "We're fine." "Mom." "Mom, are you awake?" "Is everything all right?" "Cooper had a nightmare." "Oh, honey, come in." "Jump in." "Oh." "It's okay, honey." "I'm here." "Do you remember what it was about?" "I don't remember." "No?" "It was scary, and I couldn't find you." "Well, I'm right here." "You're okay." "Was it about aunt Kitty?" "She has cancer." "Grandma told us." "She does." "And did grandma tell you that Kitty has the best doctors in the whole world, and they're doing everything they can to help her and that she's gonna be just fine." "Are you scared?" "I am." "I am." "But being scared is no reason not to tell the truth." "And I should've told you two the moment you got back." "I'm sorry." "Just sometimes, you know, I want to protect you from... from bad things." "Like monsters in my room?" "Yes..." "like monsters in your room." "I'm..." "I..." "I'm sorry, Nora." "I didn't mean to disturb you." "Do you need something?" "Uh, n... no." "I..." "I couldn't sleep, and..." "I came down to look at the stars." "I see you had the same idea." "Well, please make yourself comfortable." "I have to go to bed." "No, no, no, no, no." "Please don't go." "Don't go." "Uh..." "I think perhaps it's been a very difficult time for you, eh?" "I can't even imagine." "I'm so sorry if, by my presence here, I made it worse." "Yes." "It's... it's a difficult time." "I'm so sorry if... if I've been unkind in anyway." "I really..." "I am." "It's just..." "Been a long day, I guess." "You don't have to apologize." "The French people always say," ""La vie est un oignon que vous pelez tout en pleurant."" "How do I translate that?" "Um, life is an onion you peel while crying." "So..." "Well, I've been doing a lot of peeling lately." "I know." "You know, the French also say that it's impossible to be sad while dancing." "Oh." "Oh, yes." "Luc, really, I... honestly, I don't..." "I don't know how to do this." "Now, Nora..." "No." "I saw you dancing the box step." "What about a waltz?" "Wait." "Wait, wait." "Did the French really say this about dancing?" "Not really." "And un, deux, trois." "One, two, three." "Hi." "Hello, everyone." "Morning, guys." "How are you?" "Hello." "Um, Luc, sweetie, would you get me the salsa?" ""Sweetie"?" "We brought muffins." "I'm learning how to make, uh, how do you call, nor? "Nor"?" "Huevos rancheros." "It's Kitty's favorite." "Yeah, yeah, I know." "How is she?" "She's better." "She's tired, but she's better." "Okay, Luc." "Here, I want you to try this." "He... he can't get with the whole eggs/bean combo thing." "Oh, yes." "It's not exactly a French flavor." "Hi!" "Bonjour." "It's good?" "Just in time." "Mom's just been flirting with your new boy..." "Good morning, guys." "Hi, honey." "Uh, Paige, Cooper, this is Luc." "Hello." "Luc's a good friend of mom's." "Hi." "Uh, grandma, um, where's aunt Kitty?" "We want to give her our present." "She's upstairs playing with Evan." "Cool." "Come on." "Sarah, can I talk to you for a minute?" "Sure, mom." "So did you two work out your tango problem?" "Yes." "Yeah." "So who will be the girl?" "Her name's Michelle." "Good for you." "Come on." "Okay, if you're after an apology, you've got it." "No." "No." "Okay, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry I was so mad..." "Sarah, no." "I need to apologize to you." "I need to apologize to you." "No, mom." "No, mom." "I'm telling you that I was wrong." "No, Sarah, you were right." "As it turns out, both you and Kitty had fun last night." "Kitty feels better, the sky didn't cave in, and I don't know how to do that." "I'm just so worried about Kitty, and that's all I know how to do." "And it really doesn't help anyone." "Oh, Sarah, I'm so sorry I treated Luc like that." "He's really... adorable." "Right?" "Yes." "And he can stay here as long as he likes, as long as you like." "Thank you." "Now will you let me finish?" "Yeah." "I wanted to say that you were right to tell Paige." "She asked you point-blank, and it sounds like you handled it perfectly, which is why I need to ask you for some advice." "Really?" "I'm just glad you still want my advice." "Okay, here it is..." "I don't want to ask you to lie for me about Luc." "But I'm not sure..." "How I should tell the kids or... should I tell them?" "Sarah, listen to me." "This is private between you and Luc right now." "Don't tell them." "Not till you know what it is." "And by the way, what is it?" "I don't know." "Is it serious?" "I don't know." "How long will he be here?" "I have no idea." "Don't you think it's great and unusual he followed you here from France?" "Do you?" "I don't know." "Me neither." "Well, now that we've got that settled, let's eat." "Well, thank you for that little chat, mom." "Yes, sweetheart." "Oh, I love it." "Oh, thank you." "It's "when you wish upon a star."" "Oh, what do you think, Evan?" "Do you like it?" "We didn't even know you needed a wish when we got it." "Okay, what's my first wish gonna be?" "I wish that I could have a monster hug from my favorite niece and nephew." "It's gonna come true." "I... is this okay?" "Does it hurt?" "Oh, just the opposite." "You don't look like you're sick." "Well, thank you, Cooper." "I don't feel like I'm sick." "Okay, Dr. Cooper, what's your wish gonna be?" "I'd wish for... food." "Food?" "Okay." "Me, too." "I'm starving." "Okay, food it is." "Here we go." "All right." "Brunch in bed for everyone." "Oh, my gosh." "It worked." "Huevos rancheros." "Mom, you really didn't have to do that." "We were just on our way down." "Well, we had a minor mishap in the kitchen." "Kevin melted the salsa bowl in the microwave." "Now what would you call that in Italian, kids?" "El stupido!" "Oh!" "Who's el stupido?" "You know, you know, those buttons on the microwave" "Are awfully confusing." "Are they awfully confusing?"
