"Come on, guys." "We've gotta get a move on." "What is that?" "Peanut butter." "Mom, we're a peanut-free school." "I know, but Justin ate all the turkey." "So just tell your teacher that it's soy butter." "Mom, turkey's my favorite." "I know, honey, but listen, Justin and Rebecca broke up, and that'shat people do when they break up... they eat a lot." "Cooper, why are you not dressed?" "Because I can't find my sweatshirt, and uncle Tommy's hogging the bathroom." "I told him to use the downstairs bathroom." "You know, I feel like I'm running a hotel for criminals and lonely hearts." "It must be in the laundry." "You scared the living daylights out of me." "Is that Rebecca?" "Can I have some privacy, please?" "Can I have my kid's clothing, please?" "Take it." "Thank you." "Look, I just need my transcripts, all right?" "I'm trying to get into school." "Okay, for the fifth time, it's Justin Walker." "I can't find my phone." "Mom, we gotta go." "I know, honey." "Did you see my cell?" "Yeah, of course they're not letting up." "This is Holly's idea of a wet dream." "Hey, Tommy." "Sorry." "I just don't understand why Ojai's coming after me and not her." "Her whole involvement in the company is based on fraud." "She told us her daughter was an heir." "She misled our family." "Have you seen my phone?" "I'm on the phone with my lawyer, all right?" "Well, excuse me." "I'm sorry." "No, I am not taking a damn plea." "Hey, Tommy." "Language, please." "Mom, it's fine." "He says "damn" all the time." "No, no, no, no." "Screw that." "I am not giving up without a fight." "No way." "Is that my phone?" "I need my phone." "Please, please, just a minute." "No, I won't do it." "Great." "This is just great." "Tommy and Julia have made it perfectly clear, they don't want my help, so fine, I'm gonna respect that." "Well, wow." "Wow, mom." "You know what?" "I'm very proud of you." "It sounds like you've developed some boundaries." "Let me tell you, when your son is charged with embezzling from the family business, it does make you pause and rethink your parenting strategy." "Besides that, I'm busy." "The center's opening up next week, and Sarah is coming over tomorrow to have lunch with Ryan." "Oh." "Honey, I would've invited you." "I just assumed you had your hands full." "Well, you're welcome to come." "No, you're right." "I do." "I do." "Between the baby and Robert, I don't have time to do anything, let alone meet a new sibling." "How's he doing?" "Oh, Robert?" "Robert's fine." "He's actually on the treadmill." "He's on the... my God, that's amazing." "Modern medicine." "Kitty, I can't tell you how thrilled I am that you're doing so well." "I feel so relieved." "Yeah." "Yeah, it's great." "It's good." "Oh, you know what, mom?" "I gotta go." "Robert just finished his workout." "Bye." "Well, how'd it go?" "He did good." "Yeah, I, uh, I walked a whole quarter of a mile very slowly." "You don't want to overdo it." "Yeah, I'm gonna go take a shower." "Ah, well, lucky you." "I don't know about that." "He's got a rough road ahead of him." "Yeah." "I was just talking about the shower." "Look, Kitty, after a heart attack, a lot of patients get really anxious and depressed." "I mean, their whole world gets turned upside down, and they've got to deal with all these new limitations..." "Yeah, Robert doesn't do well with limitations." "Yeah." "Medication and psychotherapy could really help." "I tried talking to him about it..." "Oh, let me guess." "He said no." "Yeah, yeah." "Maybe you'd have better luck." "Well, maybe." "Maybe." "I'll talk to him." "Just a second." "Oh, Ryan." "Working from home, I see." "Uh, I just, uh, took a personal day." "And does "personal day" equal wallowing?" "Big-time." "Come on." "You promised you were gonna snap outta this." "I'm taking baby snaps." "Why don't we baby snap our way right outta the apartment, huh?" "Ryan, I'm not feeling very fun right now..." "Or showered." "God, you are such a girl." "Ryan, what are you doing here?" "To get to know my new family, I guess." "So there's nothing going on..." "Oh, with us?" "No." "God, no." "That..." "I..." "I just really enjoy talking to you, you know, because you've gone through this with them before." "Okay." "If this is weird for you, I..." "No, no, I just..." "I just wanted to make sure, you know." "Yeah, no." "I totally understand." "So we're cool." "Ah, totally cool." "Wallow away." "I'm wallowing." "What are you doing right now?" "Just, um... cleaning up." "The place looks pretty clean to me." "What did you have in mind?" "I don't know." "You know, the two of us... a free morning." "It's probably a delivery." "Let's just ignore that." "Okay?" "Wow, they really need a signature." "Are we ever gonna have sex again?" "I don't know." "I'm busy... my work, your family." "Maybe we need to schedule it." "What, like sex at 4:00?" "That's really romantic." "Appointment sex." "That's what married couples have to do." "Yeah?" "Well, not this one." "Haven't you heard of calling first?" "I can't call." "Your brothers have co-opted all my phone lines." "They're mine now?" "Listen, Kevin, I want to be a good big sister." "I really do." "But you gotta get 'em off my couch." "Their... their crap is all over my house, and they're eating all my food." "Hi, Scotty." "Hi, Sarah interruptus." "There." "It's in the books." "You puttin' sex in the books now?" "No." "Yes, you are." "I... yeah, thanks to you." "Well, listen, I'm sorry." "It's just..." "Justin is so depressed, he's holed up in my laundry, and Tommy is, like, lost in a black cloud of despair." "Well, he has a lot to despair about." "I know, but he's cursing in front of the children." "Not that I blame him." "You know, this morning, his lawyer tried to get him to take a plea." "Why aren't you saying sething?" "I agree with his lawyer." "What?" "You want him to go to jail?" "No, of course not." "Look, Tommy doesn't have a criminal record, okay?" "The judge is gonna slap him on the wrist, and worst-case scenario, he'll do some Martha Stewart time." "What if he fights it?" "Believe me, the last thing Tommy wants is for this to go to trial." "It will go on forever, it will drain his finances, and the judge will throw the book at him." "Oh, God." "You gotta talk to him." "Me?" "Look, his lawyer can't get through to him." "What makes you think I can?" "Well, you just convinced me." "Plus, you know, you're his brother, whom he loves and adores." "I don't know, Kevin." "Why don't you just take him away, you know?" "Just get him to chill out and relax." "Maybe he'll be a little more open to suggestion." "Right." "I guess I could take some time off." "You can?" "My boss is on sick leave... as is my sex life." "Great." "I mean, not your sex life, but this is great." "This is good." "I mean, you guys, you could have some real quality brother time." "Don't push it." "I don't have time to go away this week." "What?" "Time is all you have." "I have a deadline." "A deadline?" "All right, look, you promise not to say anything?" "I'm applying to school, okay?" "And I have a personal statement due." "That's next week." "Okay, when you say "school," what do you mean?" "Like community college?" "No, it's a program to finish my B.A." "Before starting med school." "Oh, my God." "Don't... don't... don't, because I probably won't even get in." "Whoa, way to think positive." "That's great." "Yeah?" "That really is great." "You... you know what we can do?" "Oh, great." "We can kill two birds with one stone." "Let's go somewhere really quiet where you can write, and we can both talk to Tommy." "I know this great spa hotel in Palm Desert." "You're not taking Scotty, all right?" "I don't think toy's into mud baths and cucumber water." "I know where we should go." "Where?" "Baja." "What, the place dad took us, Puerto whatchamacallit?" "Tommy loves that place, all right?" "And... and we can surf, and I can..." "I can do this." "It's quiet." "Yeah, it's quiet 'cause no one wants to go there." "Go where?" "We were just talking about getting out of town for the weekend." "Oh, nice." "I just took Elizabeth to the park, and, uh, she cried the whole time, and Julia still won't talk to me, and you guys are planning a vacation." "You should come with us." "You know, the three brothers..." "los tres hermanos." "Yeah, in case you haven't noticed, I, uh, I got a lot on my plate right now." "Exact reason you should come." "You know, forget about your plate, relax." "It's not as if the judge put any restrictions on your travel." "Yeah." "I'm not exactly in the mood." "Okay." "L..." "look, I'm sorry." "Justin's having real trouble getting over Rebecca." "He can't even finish his application to med school." "Wait." "Hold on." "You are... you're applying to med school?" "Uh, yeah, yeah." "Yes, I am." "And I'll..." "I'll tell you all about it when we... when we go to Baja." "Puerto Rosa?" "Well, we haven't been down there in years." "Years, bro." "Or we can try somewhere new." "Why would we go somewhere new?" "We can surf, we can eat lobsters at nigh." "Come on." "Say it." "Baja." "Baja." "What the hell?" "Let's go to Baja." "Yes!" "Yay." "Baja." "What do you mean, he's out of town?" "Well, I want him to call me the minute he gets in, and tell him thanks for clearing it with his boss." "Hey, I'm, uh, I'm gonna try to grab a shower." "Evan's sleeping." "Can you keep an ear out?" "Yeah." "Did you know that your brother was out of town?" "Yeah, he took, uh, Tommy and Justin to Baja to, uh, try and cheer them up." "Well, how long is he gonna be down there?" "Probably not long." "Look, I really think you should take a look at these." "Ah. "S.S.R.I. use in heart patients."" "Did Adam give you this?" "No, Adam told me to talk to you." "I did all the printing by myself, which is a feat considering I'm so tired, I can barely read." "Well, I could've saved you the energy because I'm gonna be fine, and I want to feel the way I feel without the use of pharmaceuticals." "And you should know that my health records would be made public in a campaign." "Oh, Robert." "Nobody cares." "Antidepressants?" "A heart attack?" "I might as well give mysel electric shock therapy while I'm at it." "Adam asked me to broach the subject." "I broached." "What you do with the information now is entirely up to you." "I will go get your medication." "No, I..." "I can get my own medicine." "Okay, great." "Well, then I guess I have an appointment with a bottle of shampoo." "And I guess I'll reschedule." "Kevin thinks Justin needs a little bit of brother time." "I probably do, too." "So, uh, we're headed down to Baja." "I didn't want you to think I just disappeared." "I love you, Julia." "I'll call when I get back." "Bye." "Wow, got enough water?" "We're not going to the Sahara desert." "No, we're going to Baja thanks to you." "Yeah, well, you were the one who opened your mouth about med school." "Got him out of the house, didn't it?" "Yeah, except for the fact, now he keeps grilling me about it." "It makes me nervous." "Would you rather we talked about Rebecca?" "No, I'd rather we talk about the plea... the whole point of this trip." "Let's just get there first, okay?" "The whole point is he relaxes." "So maybe you could help with that." "Dr. Walker." "I'm not a doctor yet, Tommy." "So, uh, how old are you gonna be when they let you out?" "Dude, you make it sound like I'm going to prison." "I'm sure he didn't mean that." "I didn't mean that." "Yeah." "It's fine." "Don't worry about it." "How's that relaxing?" "It's not." "Mom, you gotta check this out." "You won't believe this." "What?" "Guess what." "Look." "We've both got the same lumpy elbow." "The infamous William Walker lumpy elbow." "Dad always said that it was a sign of wisdom." "Well, yeah, it's extra padding, you know, for long hours of contemplation." "Yeah, well, I wouldn't know about that." "I don't have time to contemplate anymore." "I'm too busy taking care of my kids, not to mention my adult brothers." "Elbows she got from her dad." "Caretaking she got from me." "Thanks for that, mom." "Even though, these days, I'm trying to dial it back." "Very good." "Hello." "Hey." "Oh, my God." "Kitty." "I didn't realize you were..." "Shh." "Oh, is he asleep?" "Oh, look oh, it's my boo-boo." "Honestly, he's making my ovaries ache." "Ryan, this is Kitty." "Kitty, this is Ryan." "Hi." "Hi." "Even though she usually looks a lot better than this." "Mom, come on." "She looks like any new mother, minus the baggy belly and the exploding breasts." "Well, either way, it's... it's really nice to finally meet you and your... your little guy." "It's really nice meet you, too." "What a surprise." "I thought you were too busy." "I was, and then... and then Evan just got so colicky, so I just decided to drive, I threw him in the car." "It usually calms him down." "And we ended up here." "All the way from Santa Barbara?" "Well, yeah." "He was really fussy." "Well, he doesn't look fussy now." "Well, that's because it worked." "And plus, I..." "I really wanted to meet Ryan." "I mean, unless there's not enough food." "I don't want to impose." "No, no." "Oh, no." "I'm thrilled you're here." "I'm thrilled" "All right." "Well, cool." "You know, I'm gonna go put Evan down." "And do you think maybe you could wash this for me?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "That'd be great." "Thanks." "Uh, Ryan, would you mind setting the table while mom and I finish up lunch?" "Okay." "What are you doing?" "That is not a colicky baby." "Do you really believe she drove all the way up here to meet Ryan?" "My God." "We practically had to put a gun to her head to get her to meet Rebecca." "Well, it's a lot easier the second time." "I'm telling you, something is going on with her." "Mom, nothing's wrong with Kitty." "Just because Tommy's in trouble doesn't mean you have to start inventing it for Kitty." "What happened to dialing it back?" "All right, I'm dialing it back." "I'm dialing it back." "Seriously, guys, this isn't it." "No, this is it." "Well, what about all those hotels back there?" "I don't remember any of this." "So it's a little bit more developed." "Just calm down, all right?" "Remember?" "He would do this every single time... think that we were lost all the way from the car to the beach." "It drove dad nuts." "Well, I just want to thank you guys for... for talking me into this, all right?" "This is exactly what I needed." "This weekend is all about surfing and lobster and, um... boobs." "Oh, my God." "What are all you guys doing here?" "It's spring break, bitches!" "You're kidding me." "All right." "What have we done?" "Okay, I can call the Coronado or the Ritz." "I mean, I'm sure we won't get an ocean view, but we could be there in two hours." "What?" "We just got here." "Guys, this is a disaster yeah." "As much as I'd love to stay, I have a lot of work to do." "I think we should go." "Look, guys, we're staying for one night." "Besides, I don't want to spend the rest of the time in the car." "Come on." "This is our place." "Not anymore." "What are you talking about?" "The surf is great, and I never got to do spring break." "You didn't miss a thing, believe me." "Yeah, I'm talking to Justin." "Besides, there are girls here who are literally going wild." "Exactly." "How's he supposed to concentrate on his personal statement?" "Look, a weekend of this, you'll forget Rebecca ever existed." "I mean, that's the whole point, right?" "Ac... actually... yeah, that's exactly the point." "I mean, you know, you're sad, and we want to get you in a better mood." "I just think, you know, we need to bond, spend some quality time together, and this isn't the environment." "What are you talking about?" "This is the perfect environment." "I'm getting us drinks." "Virgin for you." "Let the bonding begin." "I hate you." "I hate me, too." "Thank you so much." "This is really delicious." "Oh, good, good." "Glad you enjoyed it." "Kitty, you must have a lot of questions for Ryan." "I do?" "You came all this way to meet him." "Yeah, of course, but I don't want to..." "I don't want to bombard him the minute he sits down at the table, mother." "Oh, it's okay." "You can ask me whatever you want." "Okay, um..." "Do you have a girlfriend?" "Or a boyfriend." "You know what, Ryan?" "If they get to be too no, you can just tell them to, um, shut up." "Oh, yeah." "Anytime." "No." "It... it's okay." "I just... growing up, we had this rule... no religion, politics or sex at the table." "Oh, don't worry." "We hardly ever have sex at the table." "Sarah." "Come on, look, you've got older sisters now." "For better or worse, we pry." "Right, Kitty?" "Yeah,we pry." "We pry." "It's just that I'm, um, way out of practice because I haven't had an adult conversation in, like, what, three weeks?" "What about your husband?" "Mom." "Well, um... besides my husband." "Ryan, you didn't answer my question." "Um, okay." "I'm straight and unattached." "See, that wasn't so hard, was it?" "What about your major?" "I haven't declared yet, but I'm thinking either political science or american studies." "Political science." "Politics, Kitty." "You two have something in common." "Well, that depends, mom." "Are you a fascist?" "Definitely not." "Good." "One for our side." "Kitty, she just called you a fascist." "Come on, defend yourself." "Oh, no." "You know, I'm..." "I'm..." "I'm actually way too tired to defend myself." "I'm gonna go make a pot of coffee." "You can't tell me you don't think she's acting weird." "She's a new mother." "She's exhausted." "Something's wrong." "Yeah, with your dial." "It's completely broken." "Look at them all." "They're like... rabbits in heat." "Right, can we just get this over with so I can go back to the room and work in peace, please?" "Fine." "Look, when he gets back, we'll bring it up." "Hey, guys." "Anybody want a margarita?" "It's only 5 bucks." "Uh, I'm..." "I'm good, thanks." "You know what?" "Maybe later." "Thank you." "You know, there was a time we would've loved this." "Well, I'm sober now, and you're just... old." "Thanks." "Like appointment sex doesn't make me feel ancient as it is." "I don't even want to know what appointment sex is." "No, you don't." "Hey, guys." "Kevin, you hold these." "Justin, I got you a present." "You owe me big." "They're staying at our hotel." "Aw, Tommy." "What?" "We..." "Kevin, uh, this is Hanna, Tessa and Sabrina." "This is Kevin." "Hi." "Hi." "This... this is Justin." "Hi, Justin." "Hi." "All right, sit down." "Who's the best brother in the whole world, huh?" "Yeah, you're a prince among men." "So let's get wasted!" "Spring break, baby!" "Awesome." "You okay?" "What?" "I..." "I was just making sure you were okay." "Well... well, yeah." "No, yeah." "Oh, my gosh." "I just..." "I..." "I came in, I..." "I put the... the coffee on, and then I guess I put my head down, and I..." "I..." "I guess I fell asleep." "Oh, it's fine." "I'm sor..." "I'm really sorry, again, I'll, uh, you know what?" "I'll get the coffee." "Oh,well,how--how long have I been sleeping?" "I mean,what is everybody doing?" "Is--is evan awake?" "Yeah, don't worry about him." "They're in there making goo-goo noises and cute faces at him." "Like what they did to you." "You said it, not me." "Do you want milk or sugar?" "Uh, uh, no." "I like it black." "But no, no, no, you seriously do not have to serve me." "I'm..." "Oh, it's okay." "I have plenty of experience, and I've heard that you've had a rough couple of weeks, so you should probably take it easy." "Thank you." "I'm sorry if I was acting weird earlier." "I just..." "Well, to be honest with you, I was pretty nervous about meeting you." "You know, you're somewhat of a celebrity and your husband's a senator... which is cool." "You're not a republican." "I could tell by the pause." "A democrat occasionally, but I usually vote green." "Oh, God, you're so young." "Yeah, I guess it is young, which means it hasn't been corrupted by the capitalist hegemony yet, which gives me an ability to see things in a different perspective." "Do you, um, seriously want to argue politics with me?" "Well, you are talking to someone who's aced every single political theory course in the department." "All right." "Bring it on." "Bring it on." "Really?" "100%?" "Yep, gay as a tangerine." "So have you ever tried it with a girl?" "Tried and succeeded very well, thank you." "Oh, my God." "I think I love you." "Oh, look." "Shot hottie!" "Shot hote!" "You're up." "Tilt your head back." "Open wide." "And... swallow!" "She your girlfriend?" "Not my type." "Well, then I bet I am." "That was really cruel to do to a married man." "That was hot." "I would pay so much money to watch you guys make out." "Great." "I'm an extra in a gay porn film." "All right, guys." "Here we go." "Drinks." "Justin, you know what?" "You should talk to Tessa." "You know, she's in med school." "You're in med school, really?" "It's premed, actually." "Tommy says you're working on your admission essay." "When is it due?" "This week." "Does that mean you want us to leave you alone?" "He needs to loosen up, have a little bit of fun, huh?" "Tessa!" "Who's that?" "That is Van, the neanderthal I've been meaning to dump for weeks." "I'm kind of a chicken when it comes to that sort of stuff." "Hey, you've just been through it." "Any helpful breakup hints?" "Uh, I..." "I was the dumpee, not the dumper." "Come on, ladies." "The Van has honked his horn." "Bye." "Bye." "What is wrong with you?" "She was cute, man." "I'm not looking, okay?" "This is a stupid way to get over Rebecca." "That is how you get over Rebecca." "Enough about Rebecca." "Let's just give him a moment, okay?" "Look, I know you're heartbroken..." "I'm not heartbroken, okay?" "You know what, Tommy?" "You're the one that should be heartbroken, all right?" "Your wife just threw you out." "I'm just trying to help you, man." "Help me?" "This trip isn't about helping me." "You're the reason why we're here, Tommy." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Ask Kevin." "You want me to get the shot guy over?" "So not only do you have a problem with capitalism and government, now you have a problem with family?" "Well, come on." "Family is just a... a social construct set up to protect property and consolidate power." "That is sentimental." "And historically accurate." "Mom is hogging your child." "How long does it take to make a cup of coffee?" "Well, a lot less time than it does to convince our younger, naive brother that not everything in the world is a capitist conspiracy." "Oh, you're taking on my sister already?" "I like you more and more." "Well, you haven't heard his argument yet." "Well, I'm just trying to say that our modern ideas about having kids and... and marriage and parenthood are just social constructs." "Okay, listen, Mr. Green party, I'm sorry, but there is nothing that is going to convince me that there's not something natural and inherently human about loving and caretaking your family." "Case in point..." "Evan." "Okay, I look at that baby..." "I... there's nothing political or intellectual." "It's... it's... it's just... it's just love." "A mother's love is not a construct." "It... it... it just is, and nothing's ever gonna change that." "I'm running late." "Oh, no, no." "I was just getting warmed up." "We can do it another time." "I really..." "I said I'd meet a friend." "Wait, Ryan." "Did I say something?" "Look, I have to go." "Will you just tell Nora I'll be back later?" "Ryan,hey." "I..." "I could use a friend right now." "Come in." "What happened?" "God, they probably think that I am the biggest freak, but I just couldn't be there anymore." "Oh, let me guess." "Some big secret came out, and everyone started yelling at each other." "No, I..." "They were fine, actually." "I'm the one who has the secret." "Kitty started talking about... you know, being a mother, and then I couldn't help but think about my own." "Well, that's normal." "I mean, you miss her." "That's not it." "Everybody said that she died in a car accident, but that doesn't make any sense." "It was the middle of the day, and there were no skid marks." "I mean, she didn't even try to put on her brakes." "Sometimes accidents just happen." "Yeah, that's... that's what everybody told me." "But then, you know, I can't help but wonder... she... she had this affair with this guy, right?" "And then she had a kid." "And then I start thinking that... what if..." "What?" "What if my mother killed herself?" "And what if William Walker is the reason she did it?" "And... and maybe he did something..." "I don't know... maybe he broke her heart or something." "Oh, my God." "And that's why you're here?" "Yeah, I just want to..." "I just want to find out the truth, you know?" "Hi." "Hey." "Uh, look..." "I know I shouldn't be calling, but, uh, Rebecca, you wouldn't believe the week I'm having." "Uh, yeah, I want to hear about it." "It's just, um..." "Is this a bad time?" "'Cause I..." "I mean, I can call you back." "Well, how about I call you back?" "Ryan's here and I'm..." "Ryan's there?" "Yeah, he just stopped by to talk..." "That's okay." "I don't want to interrupt." "No, you're not interrupting." "I'll talk to you later." "Justin..." "So how's that personal statement coming?" "You know, I probably could use some help." "Great." "So this... this whole trip, this was about me taking a plea?" "Partly, yeah." "But it was also for us to..." "To what?" "To... to bond before I get locked up?" "Oh, Tommy." "It's not like that." "I just want to know who else was in on this?" "Mom?" "No, mom had nothing to do with this." "So Sarah?" "No." "Sarah?" "A little." "So what was this, some sort of intervention?" "No!" "Oh, I bet Justin loved being on the other side of this one, huh?" "Okay, you know what?" "Things are coming outta lile bit wrong 'cause I'm actually still tipsy from those mix-in-the-mouth things." "Tommy, I'm your brother, okay?" "I'm also a lawyer." "I am telling you professionally and personally, you have a lot of evidence against you." "That's interesting, 'cause as a brother and as a lawyer, you took on the U.S. Army to get Justin out of his obligations." "Yeah, and that was different." "Why was that different?" "'Cause it was Justin?" "No." "I mean, how many times has he screwed up?" "Yet this family is still willing to go to the mat for him." "What about me?" "What have I done?" "I've tried to protect the business, all right, the family's future." "I know." "I know that." "I know that." "But if you fight this, you could lose everying." "So what do you want me to do, man, just... just roll over?" "No, it's not about rolling over." "Kevin, I have a wife and a daughter." "I know, and we want what's best for them and for you." "Oh, please." "You don't give a damn about me." "Really?" "Yeah." "You think I'd be here if I didn't?" "Well, you've done what you came to do, so we're... we're finished here." "I feel so bad." "I mean, I..." "I really thought we were just having a good, old-fashioned debate." "I think you're reading too much into this." "Oh, no." "No, I'm not." "You didn't see his face." "He... he was... he was really upset." "Well, I figured out why Evan's so quiet." "He is out like a light." "Oh, good." "Oh, good." "Thanks for double-checking." "Didn't you think that Ryan was really upset?" "Not really." "Sweetheart, would you just stop worrying about this?" "Kitty, honestly, I'll talk to him the minute he comes in." "Oh, you know what?" "I always, always say the wrong thing." "All right, what's going on?" "Mom." "What?" "She thinks that you're keeping something from us." "Are you?" "No." "No, I'm not keeping anything from you." "I promise." "No, it's just, I..." "I knew it." "Something's wrong." "No, nothing is wrong." "I promise." "Nothing is wrong." "I'm..." "Well, Robert..." "Robert is having a little bit of a difficult time." "But that's very normal, for cardiac patients to feel a certain level of depression and frustration." "It's challenging sometimes to be around, but I'm..." "I'm fine." "I don't believe you." "I have to say, Kitty, this time, I don't, either." "Okay." "Okay, you know what?" "I'm..." "I'm not okay." "I mean, I'm okay." "But I'm not..." "I'm just... you know what?" "I'm really tired." "I mean, I never have a chance to take a shower." "I can't even tell you..." "I don't remember the last time that I washed my hair, and... and don't get me wrong, I love being with evan." "I love being with Evan more than anything in the world." "But I do have to get up..." "I have to get up every three hours and... and I have to feed him." "And then I have to make Robert these... these low-sodium meals with the saucen the side and the exact amount of protein." "And you know what?" "He doesn't like my cooking." "I can never do anything right." "He... he... he really... you know what?" "He doesn't talk to me." "You know, I think I'm..." "I'm lonely." "You're a new mother." "It would be hard even if you didn't have a sick husband." "You should've told us, Kitty." "Why didn't you ask for help?" "Oh, I don't know." "You know, the whole situation with Tommy," "I just... and you just thought I was so happy, and I..." "I just..." "I feel embarrassed." "I mean, I..." "I should be happy, so..." "Well, you don't have to pretend to be happy for me, ever." "I know." "I..." "look, I was trying to dial it back, and I shouldn't have." "Sorry." "Listen to me, Kitty, you're going to spend the night here tonight." "No, no..." "I won't take no for an answer." "Robert will be fine." "I'm going to make you a nice big bubble bath." "I'm going to make you dinner." "You're gonna climb into that bed, and you're going to sleep as long as you need." "If I wasn't so tired, I would jump for joy." "You don't need to jump for joy." "Just stand up." "Okay." "Put one foot in front of the other." "Okay." "We'll go upstairs..." "Good night, Sarah." "Sweet dreams." "I don't know, maybe I'm just fooling myself, you know?" "I mean, if I can't even finish the application, how am I gonna handle school?" "Oh, come on." "You were in Iraq." "School is gonna be the easiest thing you've ever done." "Trust me." "I don't know." "Maybe." "I mean, it's all moot if I don't finish the essay anyways." "Well, maybe coming down to Baja during spring break isn't the best idea." "What are you... what are you talking about?" "I am actually starting to enjoy myself though." "Me, too." "Hey!" "You're a dead man!" "Oh, no." "Justin, go." "I'll be fine." "I'm gonna..." "I'm gonna go." "Van, stop this!" "Get back here!" "Come on, Tommy." "Where are you going?" "You know, we're too drunk to drive." "I'll take a bus." "When are you gonna realize we were actually doing this for you?" "I don't want to hear another word from you, all right?" "I don't want to talk to you, either!" "Great, just don't talk to me quietly." "What is going on?" "I have an entire fraternity trying to kill me." "Are you kidding me?" "No." "Wow, you guys suck." "Hey, Justin!" "You in there?" "What is this?" "Some sort of stupid plot get me to take a plea?" "What, incarcerating you in a hotel room so you know what it feels like?" "Guys, shh." "Open the door right now!" "Open it!" "That sound like a ploy to you?" "All right, that's it." "I'm calling security." "Security?" "We're at a hotel in Baja." "There is no security." "So what are we supposed to do, sit in here and hide?" "Yeah, I got snacks." "Oh, that's great." "You know what?" "We could've been in the Ritz by now." "Shut up, Kevin." "I hope the sex was worth it." "The sex?" "We barely kissed." "What?" "We're about to get our asses kicked for first base?" "Well, if you wouldt have pimped me out." "Well, if you'd have told me what we were doing down here, maybe... this was Kevin's idea." "You know, we just wanted to get you relaxed before we told you what was going on." "Oh, well, I'm really relaxed sitting with the two of you in the dark." "Justin, write your essay." "You got your quiet time now." "You wanna know why I can't write my essay?" "It's because of you." "What?" "You're the reason why Rebecca and I broke up." "She's the only one that believes I can actually do this." "I made out with a beautiful girl tonight, and all I could think about was Rebecca." "Tommy, this trip wasn't a lie." "I am completely messed up over her." "All right, yeah, and I thought doing the applications would help." "But you know what?" "Nothing is helping me." "Uh, you're supposed to have sex in five minutes." "Give me that." "Why did i fight appointment sex?" "I could be home, safe and spooning right now." "Dude, I can hear you!" "Just open the door!" "What are you doing?" "What?" "This is ridiculous." "I'm gonna go talk to them." "Are you insane?" "What?" "Bullies back down." "Not after 20 hours of shots." "If you're going out there, I'm going out there." "I'm the one who kissed her, Tommy." "No, you're going to med school, all right?" "I'm going to jail." "You... you were right, Kevin." "I..." "I've screwed everything up." "And I should probably take the plea, and I'm running out of options." "But I can fix this." "And that's what big brothers are supposed to do, so just... just let me." "Tommy, come..." "You look good." "Oh, well, thank you." "Sorry." "I..." "I should've called." "I'm gonna completely... overstep here." "It's none of my business." "But I'm worried about Kitty." "I'm worried about you and Kitty." "Well, I didn't see this at first, but..." "Robert, when she talks about you now, she's a little detached, a little... clinical." "Well... she's coping." "Or she's pulling away." "I've seen her do it, right before she left for New York." "You know, she and my mother used to have these terrible, knockdown fights." "They couldn't be in the same room together." "And then it came a point where Kitty just stopped arguing." "She grew very quiet, very polite." "We were all so relieved, that we didn't realize that she had just... distanced herself." "And then she left." "Well..." "I appreciate your concern, and..." "I don't think you should make assumptions about the marriage." "I'm not making assumptions." "I know my sister." "For Kitty, arguing is... is her way of expressing love, passion." "When she pulls away..." "But she's not pulling away." "See, I know Kitty." "She's tired." "She's got a lot on her plate." "And... you know, we have been going through some stuff, but... she's adjusting." "Or she's so angry, she doesn't want to fight anymore." "What would she be angry about?" "That I'm running for governor or that I've had a heart attack?" "I'm not saying anyone's at fault." "I just thought you'd want to know." "Can you hear anything?" "Nothing." "Oh, we gotta get out there." "It's just me, you morons." "You okay." "What happened?" "It's all good." "Uh ,situation handled." "Did you even get a punch in?" "You should see them." "Fine." "I got my ass kicked." "You know what?" "I kind of envy them." "Who, Van?" "All of them... the spring breakers." "It's... it's all ahead of them." "What, alcohol poisoning, D.U.Is and S.T.Ds?" "No, seriously." "I mean, no major screwups yet." "They're just... they're just starting out." "I mean, imagine if you could just start over, a clean slate." "That'd be nice." "There was this kid... after graduation..." "he was really smart, Valedictori, and he just..." "He just took off, went to Costa Rica, went surfing." "You know what I did?" "I went to work with Ojai Foods." "I think about it all the time." "Why didn't I just go to Costa Rica?" "Well, if we're starting over, um..." "I'd choose Paris." "Am I allowed to take Scotty?" "At least you have someone to bring." "Justin, you love her." "Fight for her." "All right?" "Don't let my mess screw that up, please." "You know, I finally feel like we're on vacation." "The only thing we're missing is dad telling us to go to bed so he can wake us up at 5:00 a.m. to go surfing?" "You guys mind not reminiscing about dad?" "I've made a lot of mistakes following in his footsteps." "I need to make some new footsteps." "So what you said before about the plea?" "I meant it." "But right now, I just want to be here with you guys." "Oh." "There you are." "Yes, oh, I could just eat you." "Eat you with pie." "Baby?" "La mode." "Okay, mother." "You gotta give him up." "Oh, no." "I know." "No, no, no." "I know, I know, but we really have to go." "All right." "There you go." "Hi, sweetie boy." "Oh, I was missing you terribly." "Oh, mom." "Thank you." "I really, really needed the sleep, and I..." "I really needed the shower." "Yes." "And I really needed you." "Ah, well, there's no statute of limitations on needing your mother, even when you are a mother." "Yeah, you're right." "You." "Okay, next time, don't be so subtle, all right, Kitty?" "Okay." "I mean, get on the phone." "Call me." "Okay." "Say, get your butt up here." "I need you." "Okay." "Hi." "Hey, I just wanted to see how you're doing." "I'm good." "And you?" "Oh, you know, well," "I got out of the house at least, which is good." "You should see all the work I have piled up on my desk." "You working all day, or can you take a break?" "You thinkin' lunch?" "I'm thinking lunch." "Great." "Oh, hi." "My name's Kevin Walker." "I was wondering if I could schedule an appointment for later this evening." "Look at that." "An appointment just opened up." "Shall I pencil you in, Mr. Walker?" "Yes,please.I love you." "Oh,love you,too,scotty." "Oh, Justin loves you, too." "See you tonight." "Okay, bye." "I ordered a pot of coffee." "Oh, that's great news." "You look like hell." "Did you sleep at all?" "No, not really." "I just kept thinking about what Tommy said about starting over." "And all of a sudden, I knew what my essay was gonna be about." "I pretty much finished my draft last night." "Congratulations." "That was a weird night, huh?" "Definitely one for the record books." "Where's Tommy?" "Uh, he's still in bed." "I figured he'd earned a little extra sleep time." "Definitely." "You think he's gonna take the plea?" "Yeah ,I do." "Oh, hey, honey." "We're back." "Hey." "How was your mom's?" "Oh, it was great." "I got a full night's sleep, and I feel like a new person." "Good." "I'm glad you got some sleep." "Yeah, me, too." "I'm gonna go make Evan a bottle before he starts howling." "No, I..." "I can do it." "No, that's okay." "I can do it." "Okay." "Oh, thank you for the information." "No, it was just Google." "Yeah, but you, you know, you took the time to do it, and I read it." "You know,and I know I need to do something to manage my..." "Stress, but I do think, for the time being, I'm just gonna do my own thing." "Good." "You know, it's entirely up to you, and I'm sure you'll make the right decision." "Tommy!" "Wake up." "We brought you coffee." "Wakey-wakey." "Tommy." "Oh, no." "What?" "I'm sorry I can't go back with you." "Please give the envelope to Julia." "Don't hate me." "Oh, this is bad." "This is really bad."
