"Thank you,thank you." "Now this isn't official, but,um,are you in a relationship right now?" "Are you crazy?" "Didn't your brother give you the "just because I'm gay doesn't mean you fix me up with every gay guy you meet" speech?" "I am very discriminating." "And what is the harm if kevin and jason haen to have a cup of coffee together?" "Kitty,our lives are complicated enough." "We already have romance and work overlapping." "Let'not bring our families into it." "Well,I actually think it'll go a long way with making my brother feel comfortable with our relationship,personal and professional." "And what about my relationship with my brother?" "From what I hear,kevin's a serialater." "no." "No,no." "He just--he just,you know,couldn't--no,no." "He was just picking the wrong guys."

"paige,you don't have to eat your duck, but please eat your rice and your potato." "But the duck's touching the ce and the potatoes." "Paige victoria." "Wait a minute." "This is duck?" "All right,kids,why don't you pass your plates over to uncle tommy and uncle kevin?" "Oh,yeah." "Right." "Yeah,we'll sit here and eat huey and dewey with these two staring at us." "Hey,who wants hard-boiled eggs for dinner?" "Let's go find the easter baskets." "I'm sorry,mom." "Oh,no,no,no." "I'm sorry." "It's miranda jones' fault." "Oh!" "The joneses." "I haven't seen them for years, not since the great game fight debacle." "Okay,I'm almost afraid to ask." "What's the great game night debacle?" "No." "I-it's easter,okay?" "Do we have to talk about this?" "the jones family lived over on piedmont, and we used to play with them when we were growing up." "They had five kids,and they were all the same ages." "Yeah,we used to call them the "bizarro walkers."" "Bizarro?" "They were just like us,only evil." "They--they were perfectly nice,mother." "It's just that you developed some sort of weird,unhealthy, psychotic,competitive relationship with them." "I did not." "Yes,you did." "yeah,you did." "I did not." "Picture the bloods and the crips playing charades." "That's what it was like." "kind of so what was the debacle?" "Well,before you answer that,I'm gonna clear all the breakables out of kitty's reach." "All right,so the score was tie kitty swore up and down that she knew the answer to the final trivia question, only she didn't and we lost." "It was a stupid game." "You know,everybody-- you all reacted as if I-I missed the final field goal in the super bowl." "yeah." "Kitty,sweetheart, no one would have blamed you had you not insisted vehemently that you knew the answer." "I..." "yeah." "What was that question?" "Mm,something to do with president gerald ford?" "Well,you know,sarah,no,I honestly don't recall." "Wait." "Was that the night that kitty threw the trophy at your head?" "Yeah,that was it--12 stitches." "Mm." "No,it was 6.Six stitches..." "well,I..." "and I-I tossed it to you.." "threw it." "And you just somehow couldn't catch it." "That was a toss?" "Yeah." "And you know what?" "You all secretly thank me for ending that ridiculous game night tradition forever." "I'm gonna go get us some wine." "No way in hell." "I don't do blind dates." "Oh,I promise,he's completely your type." "Oh,what,attractive and emotionally unavailable?" "Uh,no,that would be you." "Oh,yeah." "Where did you meet him?" "A mutual friend." "I don't like your friends.What are you doing?" "I'm programming his number into your phone." "You--you already know four jasons?" "Yeah,C.G.N." "Common gay name--only outdone by ryan and phillip." "You are so weird." "Okay... jason M." "And you haveo call him,because I already told him that you would, and if you don't,he's gonna think I'm a jerk." "Better him than me." "Even minus the turkey, it's the company that makes the holiday meal." "I have to say that I am so happy that were all here, everyone, under the same roof." "Thanks,saul." "Thank you,saul." "Not everyone." "Justin." "I'm just saying,we could have invited her." "Not rebecca again." "You know,excuse me,sarah but since you' the one who started this by blabbing our family secrets, maybe you could include her." "Oh,what are you suggesting I do,call her up and invite her to lunch is that so difficult?" "She's our sister." "Half." "I don't see why I'm the only one getting this lecture." "Far be it from me to butt in, but I do think it would mean a lot to her." "Tommy?" "Yeah?" "Uh,yeah,all right." "Fine." "Kitty will never agree to this." "Mm." "You're right." "You know,when i go off to iraq, she is gonna have no ties with this family,okay?" "Somebody's gonna have to reach out to her." "Justin,just don'T." "Don't use our fears about you going to war to get us to embrace some stranger." "She's not a stranger,kitty!" "Well,she is to me and I'm gonna keep it that way." "anybody want some more wine?" "Me." "Me." "Brothers and Sisters 119 "Game Night"" "hello?" "Rebecca,hey, it's sarah whedon." "Walker?" "Oh,hey,sarah.How are you?" "Uh,listen,I know we got off to a rocky start with our,um... it's hard to know what to call it,isn't it?" "Yeah." "So I-I thought we should get together." "If you're free tonight,there's this great new teahouse in westwood." "It's supposed to be very hip, and tea's the new coffee and all that." "Uh,as long as it's before midnight." "Midnight?" "Oh,god,I so need your life." "Um,how's 7:00?" "Yeah,that sounds great." "Okay,great." "Bye." "hello?" "Hi,uh,rebecca,it's kevin... walker." "Oh." "Hi." "Look,um,I-I know you only know me as a demented hair yanker, but I can actually appear to be quite normal sometimes" "I'm sure." "I--so I was wondering if-- if you'd want to get together sometimes,you know, maybe go see a movie-- uh,someplace public,of course, so you don't have to feel scared." "Uh,wait." "You want to take me to a movie?" "Yeah,yeah." "Uh,there's a great documentary at the arclight." "It's,um,it's--it's about meerkats." "You know,they're fascinating animals." "and--and they all have names." "It's--it's really--I'm scaring you again,aren't I?" "Can I get back to you?" "Yeah,sure,absolutely." "Look,I'm about to go into court,so can I call you back?" "this is a walker,isn't it?" "Uh,yeah." "It's tommy." "Uh,julia and I wanted to have you over for dinner." "You know,it would save me a lot of time if we just did this all at once." "Sorry lunch was so short." "No!" "I am happy to gobble down a sandwich in 15 minutes if it means getting even a little quality time with my girl." "Yeah." "Mom,we live together." "Oh,yes,well" "Nora and kitty!" "Oh,my god." "Wow." "Mrs. Jones." "Kitty?" "I don't believe it!" "Lizzie,hi!" "Wow,wow." "Lizzie,lizzie,look at you." "Lizzie!" "I know." ""Oops,I did it again."" "she's following in our footsteps,nora--five children." "This is number five." "Five?" "Five?" "Are you kidding me?" "Five,really?" "Wow,that is--five just seemed so normal when we were growing up..." "But now it just seems so surreal." "Oh,well,it helps when you have a great husband." "Ken,ken--a prominent surgeon, spectacular father." "Oh,my." "Did you ever meet him,kitty?" "Uh-huh." "Well-- mom,ken and kitty used to date in high school." "You did?" "Yeah,yeah." "Just--just briefly." "How long?" "For what?" "Like,it was... it was...maybe three-- two.Two and a half years,maybe." "Oh,year--whoa!" "She's--she's--she's seeing a senator--the senator--mccallister." "Oh,mom,shush." "I could have sworn...he was married." "oh,ll,he used to be." "Was." "No more." "Oh,good." "Well,you've got him now." "That's the important thing." "yes." "so you know what?" "Um,yeah-- when gerald ford died, we were all gathered around the tv for the funeral service..." "The whole family...that was so sad." "I couldn't even look at betty ford without crying." "I never could." "Oh,we were all just weeping,and then somebody brought up game night... when--when you--when you..." "When--when kitty missed the question about gerald ford... right." "I remember." "And we all just burst into laughter." "Oh,god,that was so--do you remember?" "you were so funny." "you were so sure you had the right answer!" "you should've seen your face." "Very funny." "It was,wasn't it?" "You know,and I'll tell you what,after that,the funeral just wasn't so sad." "You just--you just cheered us right up." "Oh,yeah,we stopped crying." "Oh,good,good,good." "Well,yeah,no,I'm glad I could help." "You know,I ally miss those game nights." "Don't you,mom?" "You know,we should do it again." "Really?" "Oh,absolutely,absolutely.How about tomorrow?" "I think I can get the family together." "Yeah,yeah,mm-hmm." "Kenny's available." "Great,great." "Tomorrow,our house." "How about 7:00?" "Can you make 7:00?" "7:00." "Yeah." "That'll do." "Yeah!" "7:00 it is." "We'll just see you then." "Okay,I never really had brothers and sisters, so I don't know how big families work." "Um,maybe this is the normal thing to do." "You know,you just do things in a clump-- like,you all get together,solve problems-- no." "Nono,no." "We tend to make things worse and then blame each other." "Yeah,that's pretty much how it works,so..." "Anyhow,I-I appreciate you guys trying to include me, but it's just feeling a little bit forced, like I'm--I'm a chore on your to-do list,you know?" ""Go pick up the dry-cleaning, make connection with half,illegitimate sister becca."" "It--maybe we could all just chill out a little bit." "Okay,this is partially my fault,probably." "Partially?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Oh,my gosh,I can't believe you're all here." "Um,this is perfect." "You're never gonna believe this." "You're never gonna believe who I ran into." "Mom and I ran into lizzie and miranda jones at lunch, and they started yapping on about old game night days and about w they used to kick our butts on a regular basis." "But it really got my goat,so I said," ""okay,okay,fine." "FinE.Rematch tomorrow night."" "You're never gonna believe what I got." "Oh,what is it?" "What--what...what are you guys all doing here in the middle of the day,anyway?" "Kitty,this is... rebecca." "It's really nice to meet you." "Oh." "Looks like justin set up a little ambush here." "No,kitty,look,I swear,we thought you were working." "Yeah." "Yeah,so,uh... what are you guys doing?" "Uh,we're just,um,you know-- rebecca called a family meeting." "Rebecca,I'm so sorry that--that this is...so awkward." "That's--that's all right." "I'm getting used to it." "I think I'll go." "No.No!" "You don't-- you know,I'm,um..." "I really am sorry." "Wow." "Wow." "I didn'T..." "I didn't expect you to look so much like my dad." "Yeah,I hear he was a great guy." "hello?" "Hey,rebecca,it's sarah." "Sarah,hi." "Um,listen..." "I just had an absolutely genuine,totally unforced, 100% organic desire to call you to see if you wanted to come over for grilled cheese." "I think it's time you met your niece and nephew." "You can't make him pink.Dinosaurs aren't pink." "She's a girl dinosaur." "There you go." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Wow,that's a gorgeous guitar.Is that yours?" "No,my husband'S." "Can I... oh,sure,go ahead." "Do you play?" "Barely." "I was in this,um, this silly garage band back in chicago for a while." "I was the chick singer, and I never really knew what to do with my hands, so I picked up a guitar and learned enough chords to fake it,but that's about it." "Well,you should take it up again." "Yeah,I need to get a guitar first." "Joe has,like,20 of them in storage." "I'm sure he would lend you one." "here you go,guys, chocolate fudge." "Oh!" "Joe,this is,uh...rebecca." "The rebecca?" "I'm sorry.I was,um... sorry." "No,no,no,no,no.You go ahead." "Rebecca was telling me that she was in a band." "Cool." "Joe's a guitar teacher." "Oh,no way!" "Mm-hmm." "There's a discount for,uh,family members." "Or we're always looking for a good babysitter," "so if it's a fair quid pro quo-- -seriously?" "Sure." "You can start tonight.It's game night." "Yeah,I already booked natalie for sitting." "Oh,you did?" "Yeah." "Oh,thanks for that." "Yeah." "How'd you get out of game night?" "Uh,I don't think kitty's really ready to have me there." "That's not very nice of kitty,is it?" "You should be there.You should come." "On blind dates," "I generally just leave my car idling at the curb." "Smart." "Or better yet, have a--have a friend call your cell phone like 15 minutes into the date." "If the guy's a zero,you just,I don't know, pretend there's been a terrible accident, make your excuse and go to the hospital." "Wow." "Yeah,that--that's not obvious at all." "Right?" "You know,I--I almost didn't call you." "Yeah?" "Why not?" "A fix-up by my republican sister?" "Apparently she had some of the robert mccallister kool-aid." "Yeah." "Yeah,she's relentless." "Did,uh,did she hit you up to work for him?" "No." "No,no,I got myself off the hook." "I make it a rule never to work for anyone who isn't as smart as I am." "I am so glad to hear you say that." ""Hi,I'm robert mccallister." "I used to drive a helicopter.Vote for me."" "I gather you're not a fan." "Well,let's see,there's the neanderthal position on gay marriage." "To be fair,he did admit he was wrong on that." "Yeah,after the vote,which kind of makes him a weasel in my book." "How'd you get so cynical?" "Well,what other response is there,you know?" "The guy's a mental midget,like you said." "No,I didn'T." "Okay,well,whatever it is you did say.I thought you said he was dumb." "Okay." "You know,I've had,like, three double shot lattes, so I may be having a teensy case of caffeine rage at the moment." "You have to admit robert mccallister and his ilk, kind of what's wrong with this country." "Mm." "Got a call coming in." "I didn't hear it ring." "It's on vibrate.Oh,excuse me." "Hospital calling." "There's been an accident?" "Wow,I've gotta go." "What?" "Whoa,whoa." "Have I" "I'm sorry,did I offend you?" "You take care." "whoa,roger got fat." "I played high school football with him." "He lettered all four years." "I thought you used to carry his jock." "Yeah,that's funny." "Oh,look,there's your classmate doug jones." "Didn't he invent that web site?" "Yeah,he's probably getting a lot of that right now." "He's worth millions." "Here." "Put these on quick." "oh,god,this smells like attic." "I think somebody used this to wax the car." "I didn't have time to wash them." "How on earth did they get t-shirts made in one day?" "Mom,clearly,they're not human." "Sorry,mom." "See,you're not wearing one either." "No,I,um,couldn't get it over my boobs." "That's what happens when you have two kids." "All right." "sorry." "Fine." "Fine." "Uh,apparently stephanie's had 12 kids." "Oh,there is no way they're real." "I don't care." "She did not have them in high school." "Still not caring." "oh,sweetie,you remember donna?" "Sure." "Donna and her partner were--were married recently in a civil union." "We sent you an announcement." "Yeah." "I--yeah,I got it.Congratulations." "I haven'seen you at any of the H.R.C. Meetings lately... no,uh,no,I've been kind of busy." "Or the gay task force meetings or the G.L.S.E.N. Fund-raiser last month or the G.L.A.A.D. Dinner last week-- you know why?" "It's because I'm not as gay as you,donna." "Could I talk to you for a second?" "Yes." "Excuse us." "Sorry." "Didn't you and donna use to date in high school?" "We were each other's beards at junior prom..." "Which only went slightly better than the blind date kitty set me up on today." "Where is she?" "Upstairs trying on all the clothes in her closet." "How hard is it to dress for charades?" "Well,for kitty,it's--it's--it's hard." "She-- where's kitty?" "Senator mccallister is here." "He's so gorgeous." "I know." "I can't believe kitty is dating him." "Yes,she is." "Oh..." "let's" "She invited mccallister to game night?" "My god." "Still trying to show up lizzie jones that she has the better boyfriend?" "It was my idea." "Mom,why don't you and miranda jones get down on the floor and wrestle?" "It'd make life so much easier and faster for the rest of us." "Don't be silly." "Let's go watch them look at him." "Just tuck in your shirt." "All right!" "Interesting fashion,but...that's true." "Nora." "Senator,so nice to see you." "You've met lizzie and miranda." "Oh,yes.Yes,we just met." "Wonderful." "I'm so glad." "Oh,hello there." "This is--this is ken." "He's,uh,lizzie's husband." "Ken baker,M.D." "Nice to meet you,senator." "Oh,well,great to meet you." "Robert." "Oh,hello,my darling." "Kitty?" "Kitty?" "Kitty?" "Kitty?" "I just got off the phone with my brother jason." "Oh." "No,no,no." "No,no." "This is not the time for that." "What?" "That'S... you--you didn'T." "No." "You--you didn't do that." "Oh." "Okay,it" "I'm sorry." "Please tell me you didn'T." "Yes,kevin,it seems that she fixed you up with my brother, unbeknownst to both of us,and apparently,it did not go well." "Yeah,you could say that." "Really?" "Well,wh-what happened?" "I don't know." "He didn't want to talk about it." "He didn't want to cause trouble." "Okay,look,I'm--I'm sorry,okay?" "But could we just table this,please?" "I'm gonna get something to eat and yotwo can happily...strangle each other." "Know what?" "No." "Calm down." "I told you months ago I did not want to meet his stupid gay brother." "Yes,you are right." "I am gonna kill you." "Kevin" "I'm gonna kill you." "No,I'm not.I'm beyond that,okay?" "You're dead to me." "Rebecca,hI.It's great to see you." "Sorry." "I hope I'm not late." "nora,who is that?" "Oh,don't tell me,you brought in a ringer." "no." "Acally,that's william's illegitimate daughter, my children's half sister rebecca." "Rebecca,hello!" "Lovely girl." "Well,we don't have one of those." "One of you is gonna have to sit out a round." "Oh." "Well,that's fine,miranda, so long as you don't mind my family kicking your family's sorry ass into the middle of next week." "Would you care for a buffalo wing?" "it is indeed my pleasure to take over for william as your host tonight for game night." "where's kitty?" "Didn't she put this whole stupid thing together?" "Well,I think she's in the kitchen begging mccallister not to leave." "As the current champion, the joneses have the right to choose the games for tonight." "And keeping with tradition,they've chosen to open with charades." "And they're going to end with trivia." "But there were some very unusual choices for the middle games,you see." "They are-- -twister and operation!" "are you kidding me?" "What are we,12?" "I'm not doing this." "Yes,you are.Yes,you are." "Come on,mom." "We've gotta give 'em one of these." "walker!" "Walker!"

"I don't know." "When I'm around all of them,it's just like... they got this whole rhythm thing going on, and you're the extra beat." "Spoken like a true musician." "Or someone who's spent a lot of time with the walkers." "What kind of music do you like?" "Um,alt." "Rock,a little jazz,if it's not too fusiony." "I don't know." "I pretty much like everything except rap." "I can't stand rap." "That's right.Now we're talkin'." "Sarah mentioned to me that you don't even have a guitar of your own to practice on." "I've got this,uh,little addiction problem." "Sarah doesn't know about it." "It's called guitar collecting." "I hate to break it to you,but she knows about it." "Nuh-unh." "She doesn'T." "She thinks I only have like 20 guitars." "come on by the house.I'll let you borrow one." "Really?" "I feel bad I don't have time to play them all." "You'd be doing me a favor." "Hardly,but okay."

"left hand blue." ""Die,kitty,die"?" "Yeah." "It's a movie about a meddlesome cat who sticks her nose in where it doesn't belong and gets run over by a bus." "Okay." "Okay,kevin,all right,I'm sorry." "My god,could you please just let it go?" "Hell no." "You blithely push me into a situation where I unknowingly make a jackass of myself?" "Nuh-unh." "You don't get to tell me when to get over it." "Well,I think you're overreacting a bit." "I trashed your boyfriend." "What did you say?" "You know,phony neanderthal weasel who's ruined america,that kind of thing." "Really?" "And is that what you really think?" "When I'm trying to impress an attractive man with my liberal cred, and I'm under the impression he agrees with me,yeah." "All right." "I've made my appearance,I've met all the joneses, and I've kept up with them." "So I think I'm gonna go." "Okay,wait,wait,just--just a second." "Um,kevin has something that he wants to say." "Me?" "Well,yeah,okay,I." "I would like to apologize for what I did, and kevin is gonna call jason tomorrow and apologize." "No,don'T." "My brother made it crystal clear to me that he doesn't ever want to see him again, and frankly,kevin,I'm inclined to agree with him." "Why?" "Go ahead,senator." "Say it." "No,say it.Say how you don't think I'm good enough for him." "Okay,I don'T." "Okay,just a second here." "Uh,my brother kevin is smart and good and kind and generous" "and thoughtful-- -handsome,don't forget handsome." "And handsome--and handsome." "Yes,he is handsome,and you know what?" "Jason happens to be a very nice boy," "I'm sure,but frankly,I think kevin was slumming it a bit." "Your apology is not working out very well, so I'm going to choose to ignore most of it, and,um,I will see you..." "Tomorrow." "Good night." "Good night." "Bye,sah." "Good to see you." "Oh,you're leaving." "Hey,has anyone seen joe?" "whoo!" "I just won my twister match against stephanie, and when I say "against,"I mean,like, my head was ag--what's the matter with you guys?" "I don't know." "I just walked in to find joe,and... oh,joe's outside with rebecca." "I think she feels a little left out." "Oh,well,you know what,justin?" "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to invite her to a family event where she's bound to feel like an outsider." "Oh,justin didn't invite her." "I did." "Oh,well,uh,sarah,okay, ybe next time you could alert me when you're gonna inte somebody without asking me first?" "Yeah,sarah, it's so thoughtless not to tell kitty all the details of a social engagement." "I mean,that's really rude." "oh,hey,I just tied the score by beating that freakin' surgeon at operation, and you didn't even bother to watch." "Sorry,bro." "They're too tied up with their little personal problems." "Oh,god,justin,please." "Yeah,you know,for one minute,could you drop the superior attitude?" "You know what?" "I'm--I'm sorry if it seems a little petty to me,okay?" "But maybe if you guys are getting called back to iraq-- -oh,stop using that!" "again!" "Again!" "Listen,I'm not "ung" it!" "This is ridiculous!" "Quiet,quiet!" "Shh!" "Quiet!" "What is the matter with you?" "Everyone can hear you!" "What are you thinking?" "It's the enemy out there, not in here." "We're supposed to be on the same side, not in here bickering with each other!" "What can you- nora?" "yes!" "Hi." "Uh,is everything all right in here?" "Oh,yes,fine." "We're setting up for trivia." "Yes,we're just--we're having a private team meeting, chalk talk,just discussing strategy." "We can't let you hear!" "Oh,strategy.Cover your ears." "I'll get you in a minute,yeah can you please tell me what the hell is going on in here?" "Sorry,mom." "I'm trying to tell kitty if she scrapes off the icicles, she might actually like rebecca." "I don't deserve that.I am not icicley.I am just careful,and you know what?" "You're just gonna have to forgive me if I am too tired of dealing with dad's mistakes to take the latest one out for tea." "Enough.All right?" "Enough." "Now listen to me." "We have a serious round of trivia to play, and I'm telling you right now,if we do not win, then I will make you regret it for the rest of your lives,and you know that I can." "So please,all of you...all of you... follow me,all of you." "walkers." "Walkers......" "come on,daddy!" "Okay." "Okay." ""What is the medical term for the surgical procedure commonly known as a nose job?"" "rhinoplasty!" "Correct!" "that's my girls--beautiful and smart." "Okay,this is us.All right,do or die.Let's go." "Everybody ready?" "Okay,"in william shakespeare's 'romeo and juliet,' what is the last name of the female title character?"" "Capulet." "Capulet or montague." "Capulet." "It's capulet." "Which one is it?" "Romeo is montague.Juliet is capulet." "No,no." "No mother would ever call her daughter juliet capulet." "Right." "I agree with sarah." "No,no,no,no,no,no.I'm right." "It's--it's shakespeare.Uh,you guys, please trust me." "I'm right." "Oh,I think we may be having a repeat of kitty's famous last finale." "Yes,I think so!" "Oh,shut up,lizzie!" "I-I did the balcony scene in,um,acting class." "Well,what is it?" "What is it?" "I don't know if I--I don't know if I remember,but,um... if you had to guess?" "If you had to guess?" "Breathe." "No,no." "Just take a deepreath and go very slow." "You can remember." "Rebecca,capulet.It's capulet." "I think it's montague." "I'm sorry,kitty." "Just... oh,god,it isn'T.You guys,it isn'T." "Please trust me." "Trust me!" "I know this!" "I know it's capulet.I know it." "I know it." "No,when you get competitive and stubborn, my red flags go up." "I'm backing with rebecca." "Look,we got a 50-50 shot.Rebecca's got a feeling." "I think we should go with her." "I'm going with rebecca." "I can't believe it." "All right." "Rebecca,it's yours." "Take it." "Okay." "Montague--final answer." "capulet." "jones!" "Jones!" "Jones!" "Jones!" "oh,rebecca,wait." "I hope you don't feel bad about the game." "I mean,please.I mean,you shouldn'T." "That's funny,because whenever I'm around all of you, no matter what,I have this-- this urge to apologize, like I've somehow spoiled something, tonight hasn't changed that." "Mm." "No,you have nothing to apologize for." "oh,and just so you know, you're--you're pretty much a--an amateur when it comes to losing game night." "I--I'm not sure if justin told you about how-- oh,he did?" "Of course he did." "yeah,well,that was 10-plus years ago,and I'm still not over it." "Well,that's kind of sick." "So,um,my advice to you for... what it's worth..." "So did you have any fun at all tonight?" "no,not really." "No?" "Me neither." "Well,I-I've gotta meet some friends,so..." "Sarah said the same thing the other night... which is funny,because I want the one you guys had." "Hey,I'm still reeling from the news that there are more than three chords." "Well,you have nice,long fingers." "You'll learn plenty of new riffs by the end of summer." "Yeah,they kind of feel like giant sausages at the moment." "You going back to school in the fall?" "Uh,no." "I think I'm done with school... and chicago and the loser boyfriend." "Three strikes and you're out." "Well,the ex-boyfriend teaches at the school," "and the school is in chicago." "Teaches?" "Yeah,yeah." "He's older." "A lot older,actually." "How much older are we talking about?" "Uh,probably older than you." "How old do you think I am?" "I don't know. 35?" "all right,let's just leave it at that." "uh,have you recovered from last night?" "Yeah,yeah.You know,I mean" "I mean,I can handle them individually." "It's just when you get them all together- they're like a force of nature." "Yeah." "I used to try and figure out that crazy family dynamic-- who's mad at who,who knows what secret." "I gave up." "I think that they have some kind of gene mutation that--that won't let outsiders in." "But,you know,to be fair,they're fantastic in a crisis." "When paige was sick,they were incredible." "It's when they're at their best." "But the rub is,you have to be in a bad place to feel loved." "Yeah,they were actually really sweet when I lost that game last night." "Good." "Just remember,if you ever feel intimidated, not one of them has a musical bone in their body." "They're all tone-deaf." "You just show 'em your f minor 9th." "Wait." "Which one is that?" "That one is..." "I thought this was cheating." "Oh,yeah,it is,but there are only six people on the planet who can make this chord, so it's okay,and lucky... for you,I am one of them." "All right." "It was all right." "william paid for that trophy,and I'm getting it back." "I wish we had a dog." "At least we'd look like we had a purpose." "No,we're out for a lovely walk,nothing suspicious about that." ""Children of the corn."" "Hi." "I'm mrs." "Walker,and this is ms." "Walker." "Hi." "Hi." "We're friends of your mommy'S." "Is--is she home?" "Uh,she went to the store." "And how about your grandmother,is she home?" "Yeah,she's taking a nap.You want me to go get her?" "No,no,no." "Not necessary." "We're just here to pick up our trophy." "Do you happen to know where it is?" "I know where it is!" "You do?" "Oh,well,that's wonderful!" "Can you run in there quick as a bunny and get it for us?" "Wait,gwyneth." "I don't think we should." "No,gwyneth,it's fine." "It's fine." "It's really fine.It's actually ours." "Run,run,run,run!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Quick as a little rabbit.A little rabbit woman,she is." "So,so,what's your name?" "Ken junior." "I know your father." "When we were in high school,he used to drink a lot of beer." "does he still drink a lot of beer?" "Kitty." "What?" "What?" "I'm just chatting." "What about your grandmother?" "She drinks a lot,doesn't she?" "Have you ever seen her with a whole lot of bandages all over her face?" "Mother!" "All right,it's a question,you know?" "I'm just asking-- here it is!" "There she is!" "Go,gwynny!" "Go!" "Run,run,run,run,run.Yay!" "Faster,faster!" "Yay!" "Look at that." "Oh,my goodness,what a good job." "Kitty,give her a dollar." "A what?" "Give her a dollar.She's done a very good thing." "You are unbelievable--a dollar,like she needs a dollar." "Hey,what about me?" "Sorry,kid." "Maybe next time you'll be more helpful." "Mom." "Mom,let's get out of here." "I don't remember it being this heavy." "justin." "Hey." "What are you doing here?" "Uh,you sounded awful on the phone." "I mean,you're obviously upset." "You--you want to tell me what happened?" "No,I'm--I'm fine." "It's really--it's no big deal." "Well,if it's not a big deal,then you can tell me." "Well,come on,I'm--I'm your..." "I'm your big brother." "This is the job description." "I help you when something's wrong." "If I tell you,you have to promise me that you won't tell anybody." "I mean,like,you need to promise,like,swear to me." "Okay,I promise." "Becca,what happened?" "it's just that joe... joe who?" "Sarah's husband joe." "Joe--uh,our joe--our joe?" "I was over there earlier." "Okay." "What... and,um,and no one was there, and--and we were just talking and hangin' out,you know, and he was showing me some stuff on the guitar," "and he just..." "becca,what happened?" "He kissed me .-What?"
