Party of Five s01e16 Episode Script
Aftershocks
[LOUD MUSIC PLAYING.]
Ants on a log.
You'll love 'em.
Hey, I'm not eating ants.
Not real ants, duh.
Raisins and peanut butter and celery.
It's my best dish I think.
You'll see.
Hey, crank it up.
People in Sausalito can't hear it.
[GIGGLING AND MOANING.]
What the hell do you think you're doing?! Charlie! [JILL.]
:God! Jeez Charlie, get out of here! You can't just come busting in my room like that! Claudia's downstairs, for God's sakes.
Claudia's downstairs all the time when you and Kirsten do it.
That's not the same thing.
That's exactly the same.
Claudia's downstairs, you're 16 years old, and you're not having sex in this house.
You had sex in this house when you were 16.
No, I didn't! Mom and Dad made it impossible for me, I'm gonna make it impossible for you.
Oh, like that's fair.
Close your eyes and stick out your tongue.
Ants on a log.
Here you go.
Claud, let's, um, eat them in the kitchen, okay? Okay.
You happy? Wow must be cool to have a cop for a big brother.
Hey, Jill, this isn't your place.
When you go to someone else's place, they've got rules.
Charlie, I always thought you were cool.
Isn't that what you're always saying, Bailey? How cool Charlie is? I found some raisins, but I had to dig them out of the Raisin Bran.
You want an ants on a log? Um Uh, I'm leaving.
I'm leaving, okay? I get the message.
You don't have to tell me twice.
[RUMBLING.]
Earthquake! [CLAUDIA SCREAMING.]
[RUMBLING SUBSIDES.]
[CAR ALARMS WAILING, DOG BARKING.]
[.]
Everybody wants to live Like they wanna live And everybody wants to love Like they wanna love Everybody wants to be Closer to free Closer to free [CAR ALARMS WAILING, POTS CLANKING.]
Okay, I think it's over.
Everybody okay? Yeah.
Bill? Owen? Yeah, right here.
Owen's having a big time.
Good.
What do you think? 4.
6? Probably 4.
0.
I think it's safe to come out of the door by now.
What if there's an aftershock? Aftershock? It's okay.
I mean, everything is still shaking.
Can't you see it shaking? It's you.
You're shaking.
Do you guys remember that one in '89 when we all thought we were okay? And then that aftershock hit.
And our chimney crashed right through our ceiling in our living room, and it smashed our stereo.
I got the CD out though and-- And it just-- It just wouldn't play anymore.
It just kept making this blipping noise, like, blip, blip, blip Bay Maybe you should take her home now.
Yeah, okay.
Come on, it's okay.
Come on.
Through the ceiling? WOMAN: Peter, I need to move the table.
Can you help me? PETER: Yeah, just a sec.
Sure you don't want anything? Come on, it's just a tremor.
My heart's still racing.
My hands are all clammy.
Mmm.
Not so clammy to me.
Justin What? I think we should go back to thinking of each other as friends.
Oh.
Well, I don't know if I can do that.
Besides, I don't know if I want to.
I mean, that kiss We should just pretend it never happened.
I mean, it can only get us in trouble.
Was it horrible? I mean, the kiss, was it just--? No.
No.
No, it was That's not the point.
Libby is the point.
Right, Libby.
Well, I keep thinking about you.
Do you think about me? Hey, you guys.
What do you think, I was on Chestnut Street at the printers, and all these car alarms started shrieking.
So what'd I miss? Phew! 4.
0? Oh, um, before I forget, that woman called again, Gwen somebody.
She said you hadn't called her back.
Who is she anyway? Oh, just somebody from design class.
It's not important.
Wow, Mr.
Happy lost his head.
It sounded important.
She said she wants to know your decision.
Well, then I'll just assume the worst.
She's pregnant with your child.
She's a furniture designer.
A really good one.
Anyway, we got to talking after class, and she saw some of the sketches that I'd done for Curran, and she kind of flipped.
Turns out she's starting her own business and wants me to be her partner.
That's why she's been calling.
But it's not gonna work out.
But you haven't called her back, so you're still thinking it might.
[CHUCKLES.]
Great.
I had to get involved with a psychology major.
So it must be a good opportunity.
Wow.
These are her designs? Yeah.
It's just she needs me to kick in half the start-up costs.
Seven thousand dollars, which I don't have.
Well, you could get it somewhere.
Like where? I can't use family money, because I already lost $12,000 in a bad investment, and I can't go to the bank because I don't exactly have a great credit rating-- You could ask me.
I mean, my grandma left me some when she died.
It's not like I'm rich, but I could loan you the $7000.
Well, thanks anyway, but I I don't want that responsibility.
Charlie, why miss out on this? I have the money, just take it.
It says here it was a 5.
1.
Everybody tried to tell me it was in the fours, but I knew it was bigger.
Well, I don't mind the little ones as long as they relieve pressure on the fault lines.
Not to shatter your belief system or anything, but the seismologist lady on TV said that's a myth.
Excuse me.
We got to get to school.
Abut the-- About the fridge? Oh, right.
Power surge fried your motor.
From the earthquake? Afraid so.
Hey, remember that real big one in '89? Look, could we just leave a check or something? Well, you could, except this model's been discontinued.
I can't get the parts anymore.
You want my advice, you get yourselves a new one.
Great.
This we don't need.
We could go after school.
No, no way.
Let Charlie handle it.
He's the adult around here.
About that quake in '89 did you suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome? [KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Oops, wrong house.
Bailey's in the shower.
You want to join him? I got school.
If you want, I can wait outside on the sidewalk across the street? Down the block, how's that? [STARTS VACUUM CLEANER.]
I'm allergic to wool.
What? Your sweater.
It's wool, right? Well, even if I wasn't, I-- Allergic, I-- I wouldn't wear it.
Oh, not the sweater, no.
No, your sweater's really nice.
No, it's just have you ever seen them shave sheep? Shear sheep-- Have you ever seen that? Ooh, it looks like it hurts.
Doesn't look like the sheep are too happy about it, you know? It's kind of an animal cruelty issue really.
[VACUUM TURNS OFF.]
I just, I-- I get a rash really gross, around my wrists from wool.
You're high.
What? You're on something.
I am not! God Last night too.
After-- After the earthquake, you were-- You were bouncing off the walls.
Uh, I was scared, okay? Same as two million other people.
Same as Claudia.
It's speed, right? You are crazy.
I am not on-- I lived with a guy in college.
He used to take uppers to get through exams.
His eyes looked like yours do, kind of, kind of glazed.
Wowwhat did I ever do to you? [DOOR CLOSES UPSTAIRS.]
Hey, you're here.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Hi.
Mrs.
Rhodes stopped me in the hall and asked me to give you these negatives.
Oh, okay.
Anyway Oh, wait a minute.
What is it? Just wait.
Wait a minute.
That's Mr.
Nichols.
Coming out of the girls' bathroom.
[LAUGHS.]
That's the great thing about being a roving photographer.
Blackmail can buy you a lot of new equipment.
Well, I better go.
[RUMBLING.]
Whoa.
You all right? Yeah.
Here.
It sticks sometimes.
Well we could be stuck in here for weeks.
Nobody knows we're here.
Nobody? [RUMBLING.]
Did Charlie like Kate? What? I was just wondering.
He probably did, huh? He probably thought you two belonged together, right? No.
I don't know.
Jill, you're not still stuck on the other night, are you? So he walked in on us, and he freaked out.
He'll get over it.
I think he's trying to break us up.
What? Just because he doesn't want us doing it in the house? I really don't think-- He accused me of doing drugs.
What? Drugs? Are you kidding? Speed.
He thinks you're doing speed? He said this to you, really? Why would he-- I don't know, I The only thing I can think is that maybe because I've been kind of jumpy since the earthquake, but everyone's been jumpy, right? I can't believe him! Where does he get off?! He's probably gonna come to you and say the same thing.
You don't believe him, do you? What? No.
Cause I'm not doing anything.
I'm gonna kill him.
Oh, Bailey just let it go.
Really.
So I've been thinking about it and I have to break up with Libby.
What? No, you-- You can't do that.
Yeah, I can.
Why can't I? Well, because because she really likes you, and it would totally kill her.
Oh, so I'm supposed to go out with the girl I like second-best? Yeah.
It just wouldn't be fair to her.
Well, I don't care.
Yeah, you do.
Yeah, I do.
Look, Julia people break up with people even when they're not interested in other people.
I mean, it happens all the time.
And it's not like me and Libby are engaged or anything.
So sooner or later, if she's not the person I want to be with, then I'm gonna have to break up with her.
And then I can go out with whoever I want, right? Well, I want to go out with you.
What's wrong with that? Well, it's just We should just wait.
For what? I mean, right now only one of us is happy.
What's waiting gonna change? Justin! Julia! There you are.
I want to know what the hell your problem is with Jill.
I guess Jill told you about our conversation.
I want to know what you got against her that you would just come out, and, I mean, out of nowhere, accuse her of doing speed.
She's on speed, Bay.
[SIGHS.]
Maybe you haven't been around it long enough to know, but I have.
All the signs are there.
What signs? You haven't noticed that she's wired all the time? She's high-strung, that's her personality, and she works in a coffeehouse, for God's sakes! I mean, she drinks, like, I know you don't want to believe this about her, that's why you're not seeing it, but she has a problem.
You're the one who's got a problem, Charlie.
All the sudden you think you're Father Knows Best.
You make all the rules, and you got all the answers.
Fine.
Get mad at me.
It doesn't change what's going on here.
You don't want me to be with her, just admit it.
Okay.
That's true, you're right.
I don't want this girl messing up your life, Bay.
So as long as I'm a good little boy, and I do my homework and I drink my milk, you're okay, but as soon as I start dating a girl who likes to have a little fun and who isn't a virgin, you start making up lies to break us up.
If I wanted to do that Bailey, if I wanted to lie about her, why would I go to her? Come on, Bay, think about it.
If that's true, why would I go to Jill and not to you? The National Seismology Institute says the first 72 hours after a quake are crucial.
So we-- Claud, wasn't this supposed to be about some kind of plan? This is important, Bay.
I'm getting to that.
Can you get to it faster? I've got things to do.
Yeah? Why don't you try doing something useful for a change and go buy us a new fridge? Yeah, we can't keep putting ice cubes in the bathtub.
Hello! This is my meeting.
Thank you.
Okay.
Now, if there's an aftershock or another quake and if we're separated, we need some way of letting each other know we're okay.
It's easier to get a long-distance line after a quake, so we should all call somebody long distance and leave a message.
Like Uncle Kurt.
Claud, we can't call France every time there's an earthquake.
We should just keep it simple, like we all call home, and we keep trying till we get through.
Okay, here it is.
Plan A: Ground shakes, call home.
If that fails, Plan B: Ground shakes, come home.
Any questions? Yeah.
Are we done? I guess so.
Great.
As long as you all promise to read the section entitled "Don't Panic" in the brochures I gave you.
Ew Um, okay.
So we, uh, we clean it out.
It's, what, about 400 square feet? Which is still too small.
I mean, I need twice that much space to make the production schedule, and that place on Protrero is big enough for a workshop and a showroom.
And it's also 5.
50 a square foot, and if we get the FX Gallery contract, we don't need a showroom.
Gwen, we budgeted for a workshop, and I'm sure if we keep looking, we'll find the right place.
Why don't you work out of here? That's what I've been trying to tell him.
Thank you.
Because we need more room so we can build faster.
The faster we build, the sooner we start selling.
So take the money you budgeted for rent and hire another carpenter.
That way you can build faster and still keep your overhead down.
Did you need something? What? Oh.
Crazy Louie's is having a refrigerator sale.
I thought we could go.
Well, wait a minute, Charlie.
What's wrong with that idea? I just don't think it'll work.
Of course it will.
It's brilliant! Okay.
Whatever.
It's brilliant.
Libby, what-- He broke up with me Justin.
He did? He came over after dinner tonight.
We were supposed to get frozen yogurt, and he said he wanted to talk to me.
I could tell something was weird.
He parted his hair.
He never parts his hair.
Oh, God, Lib, I'm sorry.
He said that he really liked me but he thought of me more like a friend a really good friend just not a girlfriend.
I asked him if there was somebody else, but he said no.
[WHIMPERING.]
It's okay.
You're gonna be okay.
Will you talk to him? Talk to him? Maybe you can tell him that he's making a mistake, or maybe you could find out if it was something I did, so I can stop doing it.
Please, Julia? I mean, he'll probably tell you everything.
Please? He really likes you.
Sure, okay.
Movies, movies, movies Ugh, I can never figure out the stupid listings.
Have you seen anything good? Because I haven't.
Oh, well, I went to see The Lion King.
That was pretty cool.
Are you sure you want to see a movie? Hey, maybe we could eat first and then see a movie.
I'm not tired at all.
How about you? No.
Okay, settled then.
What're you doing? Nothing.
What're you looking for? God! What a creep you are! What? What, you think I'm lying to you, is that it? You trust your stupid brother, who I told you was trying to make trouble, instead of me.
I told you the truth.
I want to look inside.
What? Well, if there's nothing in here, then it shouldn't matter.
Don't.
Just give it back.
Give it.
I want to believe you.
First of all, those aren't even mine, all right? They're, like, mostly my brother's.
Give me a break.
I'm telling you, he puts it in my bag, because he doesn't want my folks to find them! Jill What? Okay, okay, I'm not saying that I don't take them, all right? I take them sometimes, like, when I'm really stressed out at school, or if I'm working really late at the coffee shop or something.
I mean, just every once in a while, just to keep me going.
What is the big deal? Are you kidding? What is the big deal? You're on drugs.
I am not on drugs! I take some pills sometimes.
Oh, what, you have never had a beer or something? What are these anyway? I don't even know what these are.
Is this speed? Why do we have to make such a big deal about this? It doesn't change anything.
It changes everything.
Why? Okay.
If it matters to you, I won't take them anymore.
It's really easy to stop.
I'm done with them.
Ice melted again.
Maybe we can go look at fridges tonight.
The sale's still on.
Yeah.
When I finish this paperwork.
This the carpenter you hired? That's him.
His work's good.
That's why I hired him.
So what do his clients say? Is he good with deadlines? I wouldn't know.
Oh.
Oh? What does that mean? Nothing.
Just you said you wouldn't know.
Just sounds like you didn't actually talk to him.
I didn't.
Oh.
Oh You said "oh" again.
Well, I just thought when you checked his references-- I didn't check his references.
I hired him based on his work.
Well, shouldn't we have talked about this first? I mean, I-- I did invest in this company, and I think it's smart business to-- So now I'm stupid because I didn't check his references.
I think I'll, um I'll check to see if our water heater is bolted to the wall.
No.
All I'm saying is I loaned you the money, and call me deranged, but I thought I might have a little say in how it's used.
Kirsten, I know what I'm doing here.
Maybe you should be a silent partner.
Short Cuts is at the film society on Friday.
Yeah, I know.
Libby wants to go.
Oh and you said yes? Yes.
I said yes.
She's very upset.
She needs a friend.
Well Anyway, she calls me on the phone all the time.
We've been having coffee.
You dumped her, and now I'm dating her.
What do you guys talk about? About you.
About why you broke up with her, whether you still like her, why she can't bring herself to hate you.
And I feel really crummy about this.
It's kind of like guilt torture.
It What do you want to do? I mean, I want to still see you.
Look, I can't-- I can't say no to her right now, okay? There's only so many miserable, selfish things a person can do in one week.
Yeah, but-- I'm gonna tell her about us.
Oh, that's-- That's a really good idea.
That'll make her feel a lot better.
I can't lie to her anymore, and she's gonna find out sooner or later.
Okay, well, this is a little too "sooner" for me.
Well, I'll let you know how we both liked the film.
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS.]
Hi.
Hi.
Lose something? I know I brought them.
I put them on the hall table so I wouldn't forget.
Forget what? My sunglasses.
They're on your head.
[CHUCKLES.]
Okay, Alzheimer's has just kicked in.
[SIGHS.]
What? Nothing.
I just thought I forgot my sunglasses, that's all.
I know.
Is this what it's gonna be like now? Huh? You looking at me funny, wondering if I'm high? No, that's not what I was thinking.
Really.
Really.
Okay.
Whatever you say.
[RUMBLING.]
[CROWD EXCLAIMING.]
Bigger.
3.
8.
Nah, it was nothing.
Yeah.
You're right, it was nothing.
I guess I expected it, so Well, he's gotta understand, you know.
I know.
Oh, you're still alive.
What are you talking about? Of course we are.
Well, in case you missed it, we had an aftershock almost three hours ago.
What? God, Claud, that was tiny.
Yeah, you could barely even feel it.
Well, I felt it, and the plan was, "ground shakes, call home.
" Period.
I've been sitting by the phone and watching the news to make sure you guys weren't, like, trapped in some collapsed parking garage.
I even tried to call France on the off-chance that you got confused about the plan, but did anybody bother to call? No.
Claud, if it had been big, I mean, big enough to do any damage at all, don't you know we'd be here? I mean, don't you know we'd drop everything to get to you and Owen? Well, what if the house collapses, and you can't get to us? Claud, do you know how long this house has been here? Since like Like 1910.
I mean, do you know how many earthquakes this place has been through? And it's still standing, right? Right.
They don't build houses like this anymore.
In fact, this is probably the safest place you can be in an earthquake.
We're not gonna let anything happen, Claud.
I promise.
Nothing's gonna happen.
Maybe if I got some sleep, I'd be less stressed out.
Absolutely.
Good idea.
Maybe we're getting better at this.
What's this? Your money.
I don't want it.
I can't take this anymore.
Take what? My advice? The fact that I might have a brain in my head? What, Charlie? I can't put up with you second-guessing me all the time.
So you'd rather let this whole thing go down the drain then listen to a single thing I have to say? Great solution, Charlie.
I am not letting anything go down the drain.
I want this business, just not at this price.
I can't believe you.
I was only trying to help.
Yeah, well, maybe we need to A little bit more time before we start throwing money into the mix.
Or-- Or maybe I do, I don't know.
At any rate, I feel like we'd be better off if I just figured out a way to do this on my own.
Then fine.
Suit yourself.
This isn't just for me, Kirsten.
This is for us.
This was not a good thing going on here.
So now we can just move forward, and-- And go about our lives.
Great.
That appliance sale ends tomorrow.
Fine.
Then we'll go.
See, that is the kind of thing that we should be doing together.
Hey, you want to go to Sonoma this weekend? The Renaissance Fair is in town, and my folks are taking me to cheer me up.
Sounds fun.
So you look like you're doing okay.
Are you doing okay? Yeah.
Because sometimes it's hard when someone breaks up with you.
You've never broke up with anybody, how would you know? Well, people do a lot of stupid stuff when they're dating, and you never know what's gonna happen.
What're you talking about? Are you dating somebody? Julia, how come you didn't tell me? Libby, there's something-- [TAPPING ON WINDOW.]
What's that? I don't know.
What's he doing here? Justin didn't know that I was studying at your house tonight.
You're kidding? Libby, I'm really sorry.
Can't I just wait in the car? This'll just take a second.
I'm on ice patrol.
Bailey! [SIGHS.]
[.]
Hey.
What's the matter? Did something happen? Yeah, something did.
Claudia was sleeping in the shower tonight.
She was? I thought for sure after last night she was finally okay.
Hey, look, I'll talk to her.
She's not the problem.
While she was in the shower, um, Jill came in, and she went to the medicine cabinet, and she took some pills.
Claudia saw her.
Well, didn't you stop to think that maybe there's a-- There's a good explanation? Like, maybe they were aspirin? Huh? I mean, it's not like Claudia's some drug expert or anything.
It's Darvax from when Mom hurt her back.
It's a really strong drug, Bailey.
Yeah, I know what kind of drug it is.
You don't steal drugs from somebody's medicine cabinet unless things are pretty bad.
I'll take care of it.
Thanks.
She needs to get help, Bay.
In the meantime, we'd feel better if she didn't come around here so much.
What? What're you doing? What are you, kicking her out of here? Is that what you're doing? Shh! Claud's sleeping.
Keep your voice down.
Screw this.
This is my house too.
She's stealing, Bay, and she's lying to you.
She's not in control.
And we don't want to see you get hurt.
Wait, you think you're making this better, making me choose? You are making it so much worse, I can't tell you.
This is my house.
You don't tell me what to do with my girlfriend.
There is no way in hell I'm putting up with that.
Coolair CA-526.
Ice dispenser, accessible doors.
Look at this, handy built-in juice dispenser.
All this for 1100 bucks.
Good brand, good price.
Great.
It's perfect.
I'll draw up the paperwork.
Uh, could you give us a minute? Take your time.
What's wrong? It's big enough, it's in our price range.
It got a black dot under crisper humidity.
Crisper-- What? Humidity.
In the Consumer's Guide.
We don't want soggy lettuce.
When do we ever-- Ever have lettuce? It also scored low on temperature uniformity.
The best overall rating went to the Frostspot 253.
There's no juice dispenser.
Juice dispenser's drive up your annual maintenance costs.
I like the juice dispenser.
The Coolair's only available in ivory.
Ivory shows fingerprints.
The Frostspot comes in ecru.
Ecru? What the hell is that? Consumer Guide says-- I don't care what Consumer Guide says.
I want the Coolair with the juice dispenser in ivory.
And I think it's a bad idea.
Why, because I thought of it? Well, you folks ready to talk deal? No.
No.
You don't want the Frostspot because I do.
You don't trust me to buy a refrigerator.
I didn't say that.
What's with you? Me? What is with you? Maintenance costs, crisper uniformity, ecru? God, Kirsten, it's not even your money I'm spending here.
[SIGHS DISGUSTEDLY.]
Libby, um Libby, please.
I'm not talking to you.
I wanted to tell you.
I just wanted to figure out a good way.
A good way? And I feel really bad about this, and I'm just trying to-- You could've had Justin before.
Oh, but then he wasn't good enough for you, but now he is.
Now that he's my boyfriend.
Was.
That's not what happened.
Libby, I just-- I couldn't help it.
That is such a lame excuse.
Of course you could.
If something happened between you and Justin, and you were really my friend, you could've said no.
That's true.
I'm sorry.
The last thing I need right now is to think about you and Justin feeling sorry for me, because, frankly, that makes me want to throw up.
And there's nothing I can say? You don't actually think I'm gonna forgive you, do you? You know what, Julia? I really hate you for this.
Hi, Claudia.
What are you doing? They say animals act funny just before a quake, but with Thurber, it's kind of hard to tell.
Kirsten Oh, Charlie, look, I've been thinking.
So have I.
And I don't think this is a problem about money or refrigerators.
Exactly, and-- And it's not about trust.
Or faith.
We just have a few basic differences.
Right.
Like-- Like the way we make decisions.
I mean, I mean, you go by the book-- And you trust your gut.
Both are perfectly valid approaches to life.
Right.
Okay.
So I want to try this again.
I want you to take back the money for the business.
Well, thanks, but, um, I don't need it.
You don't? We took the designs and the cost projections and the money that Gwen already had in escrow, and we made a pitch to the bank, and it's not definite yet, but I have a feeling we're actually gonna get a loan.
Charlie, that's great! That's-- [SLIGHT RUMBLE.]
Aftershock! Thurber! It wasn't an aftershock, Claudia.
It was a Coolair CA 526.
Um, Kirsten, I-- Don't say anything.
Don't say anything.
You wanted a juice dispenser, you should have a-- It's a Frostspot FS 253 in ecru.
So which one should we send back? You want to do something tonight? Go hear some music or something.
I don't think so.
Yeah.
I'm thinking about dropping yearbook.
You know, whoever said "All's fair in love and war," wasn't the person who got hurt.
It was obviously the person who won.
Well, that's us.
Yeah, that's us.
We like each other.
That's allowed.
I know.
It's You just start finding things out about yourself, you know, like the things you're willing to do to people.
Yeah.
Wellwe're together.
Are you glad about that? Yeah, I-- I'm glad.
I just wish that I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't know either but I like sitting here with you.
I mean, we don't have to do anything else.
We could just sit here.
Do you like sitting with me? I like sitting with you a lot.
How about standing? Do you like standing? Standing's nice.
How about hopping? [LAUGHS.]
Hopping is actually a little strange.
Yeah, you're probably right.
It's gonna be all right.
You don't know that.
[.]
Hey.
Hey Can I interest you in a Sports Illustrated from the Bush administration? I finally got Patty to spring for new mags.
You got a minute? Um, yeah.
Sure.
I have a really good time with you.
I have a really good time with you too.
I don't want to be with anyone else.
Bailey I know about the Darvax.
Claudia saw you take it.
It's not what you think.
I can explain-- I don't want you to.
Please.
Please don't explain, because I won't believe you whatever you say, because you lied to me when you said you weren't using, and you lied to me when you said you stopped.
And if you honestly don't believe that you have a problem, then what can I do? So I can't be with you anymore, and I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, because Because I really care about you, and I want you to get some help, butI guess I guess I'll just see you.
Bailey, wait.
Wait! Okay, okay, you're right! You're right! I do have a problem.
Look, I'm sorry, Bailey.
I tried.
I meant what I said when I promised you.
I really meant it, I really tried, but I couldn't.
I couldn't.
And I only lied to you, because I was afraid that you'd leave.
And see? You are anyway.
Don't go, Bailey.
Pleasedon't walk away.
I can't do this by myself.
I can't stop if you walk away.
So don't.
Don't walk away.
Please? Okay.
Should I ask? Shh! It's Claudia's idea.
It's the only place she feels safe.
It's just for tonight.
Unless we have another aftershock.
Then we're gonna have her institutionalized.
[GIGGLING.]
Well, if it was her idea, where is she? Up front with Owen.
Is there room for me? Sure.
Just don't rock the truck.
Trust me, you don't want her to wake up.
Come on, Charlie, shove over.
[GIGGLING.]
Ow! [WHISPERS.]
Shh! Be quiet.
Something's lost Something is found They will keep on Speaking her name Some things change Some stay the same [.]
Ants on a log.
You'll love 'em.
Hey, I'm not eating ants.
Not real ants, duh.
Raisins and peanut butter and celery.
It's my best dish I think.
You'll see.
Hey, crank it up.
People in Sausalito can't hear it.
[GIGGLING AND MOANING.]
What the hell do you think you're doing?! Charlie! [JILL.]
:God! Jeez Charlie, get out of here! You can't just come busting in my room like that! Claudia's downstairs, for God's sakes.
Claudia's downstairs all the time when you and Kirsten do it.
That's not the same thing.
That's exactly the same.
Claudia's downstairs, you're 16 years old, and you're not having sex in this house.
You had sex in this house when you were 16.
No, I didn't! Mom and Dad made it impossible for me, I'm gonna make it impossible for you.
Oh, like that's fair.
Close your eyes and stick out your tongue.
Ants on a log.
Here you go.
Claud, let's, um, eat them in the kitchen, okay? Okay.
You happy? Wow must be cool to have a cop for a big brother.
Hey, Jill, this isn't your place.
When you go to someone else's place, they've got rules.
Charlie, I always thought you were cool.
Isn't that what you're always saying, Bailey? How cool Charlie is? I found some raisins, but I had to dig them out of the Raisin Bran.
You want an ants on a log? Um Uh, I'm leaving.
I'm leaving, okay? I get the message.
You don't have to tell me twice.
[RUMBLING.]
Earthquake! [CLAUDIA SCREAMING.]
[RUMBLING SUBSIDES.]
[CAR ALARMS WAILING, DOG BARKING.]
[.]
Everybody wants to live Like they wanna live And everybody wants to love Like they wanna love Everybody wants to be Closer to free Closer to free [CAR ALARMS WAILING, POTS CLANKING.]
Okay, I think it's over.
Everybody okay? Yeah.
Bill? Owen? Yeah, right here.
Owen's having a big time.
Good.
What do you think? 4.
6? Probably 4.
0.
I think it's safe to come out of the door by now.
What if there's an aftershock? Aftershock? It's okay.
I mean, everything is still shaking.
Can't you see it shaking? It's you.
You're shaking.
Do you guys remember that one in '89 when we all thought we were okay? And then that aftershock hit.
And our chimney crashed right through our ceiling in our living room, and it smashed our stereo.
I got the CD out though and-- And it just-- It just wouldn't play anymore.
It just kept making this blipping noise, like, blip, blip, blip Bay Maybe you should take her home now.
Yeah, okay.
Come on, it's okay.
Come on.
Through the ceiling? WOMAN: Peter, I need to move the table.
Can you help me? PETER: Yeah, just a sec.
Sure you don't want anything? Come on, it's just a tremor.
My heart's still racing.
My hands are all clammy.
Mmm.
Not so clammy to me.
Justin What? I think we should go back to thinking of each other as friends.
Oh.
Well, I don't know if I can do that.
Besides, I don't know if I want to.
I mean, that kiss We should just pretend it never happened.
I mean, it can only get us in trouble.
Was it horrible? I mean, the kiss, was it just--? No.
No.
No, it was That's not the point.
Libby is the point.
Right, Libby.
Well, I keep thinking about you.
Do you think about me? Hey, you guys.
What do you think, I was on Chestnut Street at the printers, and all these car alarms started shrieking.
So what'd I miss? Phew! 4.
0? Oh, um, before I forget, that woman called again, Gwen somebody.
She said you hadn't called her back.
Who is she anyway? Oh, just somebody from design class.
It's not important.
Wow, Mr.
Happy lost his head.
It sounded important.
She said she wants to know your decision.
Well, then I'll just assume the worst.
She's pregnant with your child.
She's a furniture designer.
A really good one.
Anyway, we got to talking after class, and she saw some of the sketches that I'd done for Curran, and she kind of flipped.
Turns out she's starting her own business and wants me to be her partner.
That's why she's been calling.
But it's not gonna work out.
But you haven't called her back, so you're still thinking it might.
[CHUCKLES.]
Great.
I had to get involved with a psychology major.
So it must be a good opportunity.
Wow.
These are her designs? Yeah.
It's just she needs me to kick in half the start-up costs.
Seven thousand dollars, which I don't have.
Well, you could get it somewhere.
Like where? I can't use family money, because I already lost $12,000 in a bad investment, and I can't go to the bank because I don't exactly have a great credit rating-- You could ask me.
I mean, my grandma left me some when she died.
It's not like I'm rich, but I could loan you the $7000.
Well, thanks anyway, but I I don't want that responsibility.
Charlie, why miss out on this? I have the money, just take it.
It says here it was a 5.
1.
Everybody tried to tell me it was in the fours, but I knew it was bigger.
Well, I don't mind the little ones as long as they relieve pressure on the fault lines.
Not to shatter your belief system or anything, but the seismologist lady on TV said that's a myth.
Excuse me.
We got to get to school.
Abut the-- About the fridge? Oh, right.
Power surge fried your motor.
From the earthquake? Afraid so.
Hey, remember that real big one in '89? Look, could we just leave a check or something? Well, you could, except this model's been discontinued.
I can't get the parts anymore.
You want my advice, you get yourselves a new one.
Great.
This we don't need.
We could go after school.
No, no way.
Let Charlie handle it.
He's the adult around here.
About that quake in '89 did you suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome? [KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Oops, wrong house.
Bailey's in the shower.
You want to join him? I got school.
If you want, I can wait outside on the sidewalk across the street? Down the block, how's that? [STARTS VACUUM CLEANER.]
I'm allergic to wool.
What? Your sweater.
It's wool, right? Well, even if I wasn't, I-- Allergic, I-- I wouldn't wear it.
Oh, not the sweater, no.
No, your sweater's really nice.
No, it's just have you ever seen them shave sheep? Shear sheep-- Have you ever seen that? Ooh, it looks like it hurts.
Doesn't look like the sheep are too happy about it, you know? It's kind of an animal cruelty issue really.
[VACUUM TURNS OFF.]
I just, I-- I get a rash really gross, around my wrists from wool.
You're high.
What? You're on something.
I am not! God Last night too.
After-- After the earthquake, you were-- You were bouncing off the walls.
Uh, I was scared, okay? Same as two million other people.
Same as Claudia.
It's speed, right? You are crazy.
I am not on-- I lived with a guy in college.
He used to take uppers to get through exams.
His eyes looked like yours do, kind of, kind of glazed.
Wowwhat did I ever do to you? [DOOR CLOSES UPSTAIRS.]
Hey, you're here.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Hi.
Mrs.
Rhodes stopped me in the hall and asked me to give you these negatives.
Oh, okay.
Anyway Oh, wait a minute.
What is it? Just wait.
Wait a minute.
That's Mr.
Nichols.
Coming out of the girls' bathroom.
[LAUGHS.]
That's the great thing about being a roving photographer.
Blackmail can buy you a lot of new equipment.
Well, I better go.
[RUMBLING.]
Whoa.
You all right? Yeah.
Here.
It sticks sometimes.
Well we could be stuck in here for weeks.
Nobody knows we're here.
Nobody? [RUMBLING.]
Did Charlie like Kate? What? I was just wondering.
He probably did, huh? He probably thought you two belonged together, right? No.
I don't know.
Jill, you're not still stuck on the other night, are you? So he walked in on us, and he freaked out.
He'll get over it.
I think he's trying to break us up.
What? Just because he doesn't want us doing it in the house? I really don't think-- He accused me of doing drugs.
What? Drugs? Are you kidding? Speed.
He thinks you're doing speed? He said this to you, really? Why would he-- I don't know, I The only thing I can think is that maybe because I've been kind of jumpy since the earthquake, but everyone's been jumpy, right? I can't believe him! Where does he get off?! He's probably gonna come to you and say the same thing.
You don't believe him, do you? What? No.
Cause I'm not doing anything.
I'm gonna kill him.
Oh, Bailey just let it go.
Really.
So I've been thinking about it and I have to break up with Libby.
What? No, you-- You can't do that.
Yeah, I can.
Why can't I? Well, because because she really likes you, and it would totally kill her.
Oh, so I'm supposed to go out with the girl I like second-best? Yeah.
It just wouldn't be fair to her.
Well, I don't care.
Yeah, you do.
Yeah, I do.
Look, Julia people break up with people even when they're not interested in other people.
I mean, it happens all the time.
And it's not like me and Libby are engaged or anything.
So sooner or later, if she's not the person I want to be with, then I'm gonna have to break up with her.
And then I can go out with whoever I want, right? Well, I want to go out with you.
What's wrong with that? Well, it's just We should just wait.
For what? I mean, right now only one of us is happy.
What's waiting gonna change? Justin! Julia! There you are.
I want to know what the hell your problem is with Jill.
I guess Jill told you about our conversation.
I want to know what you got against her that you would just come out, and, I mean, out of nowhere, accuse her of doing speed.
She's on speed, Bay.
[SIGHS.]
Maybe you haven't been around it long enough to know, but I have.
All the signs are there.
What signs? You haven't noticed that she's wired all the time? She's high-strung, that's her personality, and she works in a coffeehouse, for God's sakes! I mean, she drinks, like, I know you don't want to believe this about her, that's why you're not seeing it, but she has a problem.
You're the one who's got a problem, Charlie.
All the sudden you think you're Father Knows Best.
You make all the rules, and you got all the answers.
Fine.
Get mad at me.
It doesn't change what's going on here.
You don't want me to be with her, just admit it.
Okay.
That's true, you're right.
I don't want this girl messing up your life, Bay.
So as long as I'm a good little boy, and I do my homework and I drink my milk, you're okay, but as soon as I start dating a girl who likes to have a little fun and who isn't a virgin, you start making up lies to break us up.
If I wanted to do that Bailey, if I wanted to lie about her, why would I go to her? Come on, Bay, think about it.
If that's true, why would I go to Jill and not to you? The National Seismology Institute says the first 72 hours after a quake are crucial.
So we-- Claud, wasn't this supposed to be about some kind of plan? This is important, Bay.
I'm getting to that.
Can you get to it faster? I've got things to do.
Yeah? Why don't you try doing something useful for a change and go buy us a new fridge? Yeah, we can't keep putting ice cubes in the bathtub.
Hello! This is my meeting.
Thank you.
Okay.
Now, if there's an aftershock or another quake and if we're separated, we need some way of letting each other know we're okay.
It's easier to get a long-distance line after a quake, so we should all call somebody long distance and leave a message.
Like Uncle Kurt.
Claud, we can't call France every time there's an earthquake.
We should just keep it simple, like we all call home, and we keep trying till we get through.
Okay, here it is.
Plan A: Ground shakes, call home.
If that fails, Plan B: Ground shakes, come home.
Any questions? Yeah.
Are we done? I guess so.
Great.
As long as you all promise to read the section entitled "Don't Panic" in the brochures I gave you.
Ew Um, okay.
So we, uh, we clean it out.
It's, what, about 400 square feet? Which is still too small.
I mean, I need twice that much space to make the production schedule, and that place on Protrero is big enough for a workshop and a showroom.
And it's also 5.
50 a square foot, and if we get the FX Gallery contract, we don't need a showroom.
Gwen, we budgeted for a workshop, and I'm sure if we keep looking, we'll find the right place.
Why don't you work out of here? That's what I've been trying to tell him.
Thank you.
Because we need more room so we can build faster.
The faster we build, the sooner we start selling.
So take the money you budgeted for rent and hire another carpenter.
That way you can build faster and still keep your overhead down.
Did you need something? What? Oh.
Crazy Louie's is having a refrigerator sale.
I thought we could go.
Well, wait a minute, Charlie.
What's wrong with that idea? I just don't think it'll work.
Of course it will.
It's brilliant! Okay.
Whatever.
It's brilliant.
Libby, what-- He broke up with me Justin.
He did? He came over after dinner tonight.
We were supposed to get frozen yogurt, and he said he wanted to talk to me.
I could tell something was weird.
He parted his hair.
He never parts his hair.
Oh, God, Lib, I'm sorry.
He said that he really liked me but he thought of me more like a friend a really good friend just not a girlfriend.
I asked him if there was somebody else, but he said no.
[WHIMPERING.]
It's okay.
You're gonna be okay.
Will you talk to him? Talk to him? Maybe you can tell him that he's making a mistake, or maybe you could find out if it was something I did, so I can stop doing it.
Please, Julia? I mean, he'll probably tell you everything.
Please? He really likes you.
Sure, okay.
Movies, movies, movies Ugh, I can never figure out the stupid listings.
Have you seen anything good? Because I haven't.
Oh, well, I went to see The Lion King.
That was pretty cool.
Are you sure you want to see a movie? Hey, maybe we could eat first and then see a movie.
I'm not tired at all.
How about you? No.
Okay, settled then.
What're you doing? Nothing.
What're you looking for? God! What a creep you are! What? What, you think I'm lying to you, is that it? You trust your stupid brother, who I told you was trying to make trouble, instead of me.
I told you the truth.
I want to look inside.
What? Well, if there's nothing in here, then it shouldn't matter.
Don't.
Just give it back.
Give it.
I want to believe you.
First of all, those aren't even mine, all right? They're, like, mostly my brother's.
Give me a break.
I'm telling you, he puts it in my bag, because he doesn't want my folks to find them! Jill What? Okay, okay, I'm not saying that I don't take them, all right? I take them sometimes, like, when I'm really stressed out at school, or if I'm working really late at the coffee shop or something.
I mean, just every once in a while, just to keep me going.
What is the big deal? Are you kidding? What is the big deal? You're on drugs.
I am not on drugs! I take some pills sometimes.
Oh, what, you have never had a beer or something? What are these anyway? I don't even know what these are.
Is this speed? Why do we have to make such a big deal about this? It doesn't change anything.
It changes everything.
Why? Okay.
If it matters to you, I won't take them anymore.
It's really easy to stop.
I'm done with them.
Ice melted again.
Maybe we can go look at fridges tonight.
The sale's still on.
Yeah.
When I finish this paperwork.
This the carpenter you hired? That's him.
His work's good.
That's why I hired him.
So what do his clients say? Is he good with deadlines? I wouldn't know.
Oh.
Oh? What does that mean? Nothing.
Just you said you wouldn't know.
Just sounds like you didn't actually talk to him.
I didn't.
Oh.
Oh You said "oh" again.
Well, I just thought when you checked his references-- I didn't check his references.
I hired him based on his work.
Well, shouldn't we have talked about this first? I mean, I-- I did invest in this company, and I think it's smart business to-- So now I'm stupid because I didn't check his references.
I think I'll, um I'll check to see if our water heater is bolted to the wall.
No.
All I'm saying is I loaned you the money, and call me deranged, but I thought I might have a little say in how it's used.
Kirsten, I know what I'm doing here.
Maybe you should be a silent partner.
Short Cuts is at the film society on Friday.
Yeah, I know.
Libby wants to go.
Oh and you said yes? Yes.
I said yes.
She's very upset.
She needs a friend.
Well Anyway, she calls me on the phone all the time.
We've been having coffee.
You dumped her, and now I'm dating her.
What do you guys talk about? About you.
About why you broke up with her, whether you still like her, why she can't bring herself to hate you.
And I feel really crummy about this.
It's kind of like guilt torture.
It What do you want to do? I mean, I want to still see you.
Look, I can't-- I can't say no to her right now, okay? There's only so many miserable, selfish things a person can do in one week.
Yeah, but-- I'm gonna tell her about us.
Oh, that's-- That's a really good idea.
That'll make her feel a lot better.
I can't lie to her anymore, and she's gonna find out sooner or later.
Okay, well, this is a little too "sooner" for me.
Well, I'll let you know how we both liked the film.
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS.]
Hi.
Hi.
Lose something? I know I brought them.
I put them on the hall table so I wouldn't forget.
Forget what? My sunglasses.
They're on your head.
[CHUCKLES.]
Okay, Alzheimer's has just kicked in.
[SIGHS.]
What? Nothing.
I just thought I forgot my sunglasses, that's all.
I know.
Is this what it's gonna be like now? Huh? You looking at me funny, wondering if I'm high? No, that's not what I was thinking.
Really.
Really.
Okay.
Whatever you say.
[RUMBLING.]
[CROWD EXCLAIMING.]
Bigger.
3.
8.
Nah, it was nothing.
Yeah.
You're right, it was nothing.
I guess I expected it, so Well, he's gotta understand, you know.
I know.
Oh, you're still alive.
What are you talking about? Of course we are.
Well, in case you missed it, we had an aftershock almost three hours ago.
What? God, Claud, that was tiny.
Yeah, you could barely even feel it.
Well, I felt it, and the plan was, "ground shakes, call home.
" Period.
I've been sitting by the phone and watching the news to make sure you guys weren't, like, trapped in some collapsed parking garage.
I even tried to call France on the off-chance that you got confused about the plan, but did anybody bother to call? No.
Claud, if it had been big, I mean, big enough to do any damage at all, don't you know we'd be here? I mean, don't you know we'd drop everything to get to you and Owen? Well, what if the house collapses, and you can't get to us? Claud, do you know how long this house has been here? Since like Like 1910.
I mean, do you know how many earthquakes this place has been through? And it's still standing, right? Right.
They don't build houses like this anymore.
In fact, this is probably the safest place you can be in an earthquake.
We're not gonna let anything happen, Claud.
I promise.
Nothing's gonna happen.
Maybe if I got some sleep, I'd be less stressed out.
Absolutely.
Good idea.
Maybe we're getting better at this.
What's this? Your money.
I don't want it.
I can't take this anymore.
Take what? My advice? The fact that I might have a brain in my head? What, Charlie? I can't put up with you second-guessing me all the time.
So you'd rather let this whole thing go down the drain then listen to a single thing I have to say? Great solution, Charlie.
I am not letting anything go down the drain.
I want this business, just not at this price.
I can't believe you.
I was only trying to help.
Yeah, well, maybe we need to A little bit more time before we start throwing money into the mix.
Or-- Or maybe I do, I don't know.
At any rate, I feel like we'd be better off if I just figured out a way to do this on my own.
Then fine.
Suit yourself.
This isn't just for me, Kirsten.
This is for us.
This was not a good thing going on here.
So now we can just move forward, and-- And go about our lives.
Great.
That appliance sale ends tomorrow.
Fine.
Then we'll go.
See, that is the kind of thing that we should be doing together.
Hey, you want to go to Sonoma this weekend? The Renaissance Fair is in town, and my folks are taking me to cheer me up.
Sounds fun.
So you look like you're doing okay.
Are you doing okay? Yeah.
Because sometimes it's hard when someone breaks up with you.
You've never broke up with anybody, how would you know? Well, people do a lot of stupid stuff when they're dating, and you never know what's gonna happen.
What're you talking about? Are you dating somebody? Julia, how come you didn't tell me? Libby, there's something-- [TAPPING ON WINDOW.]
What's that? I don't know.
What's he doing here? Justin didn't know that I was studying at your house tonight.
You're kidding? Libby, I'm really sorry.
Can't I just wait in the car? This'll just take a second.
I'm on ice patrol.
Bailey! [SIGHS.]
[.]
Hey.
What's the matter? Did something happen? Yeah, something did.
Claudia was sleeping in the shower tonight.
She was? I thought for sure after last night she was finally okay.
Hey, look, I'll talk to her.
She's not the problem.
While she was in the shower, um, Jill came in, and she went to the medicine cabinet, and she took some pills.
Claudia saw her.
Well, didn't you stop to think that maybe there's a-- There's a good explanation? Like, maybe they were aspirin? Huh? I mean, it's not like Claudia's some drug expert or anything.
It's Darvax from when Mom hurt her back.
It's a really strong drug, Bailey.
Yeah, I know what kind of drug it is.
You don't steal drugs from somebody's medicine cabinet unless things are pretty bad.
I'll take care of it.
Thanks.
She needs to get help, Bay.
In the meantime, we'd feel better if she didn't come around here so much.
What? What're you doing? What are you, kicking her out of here? Is that what you're doing? Shh! Claud's sleeping.
Keep your voice down.
Screw this.
This is my house too.
She's stealing, Bay, and she's lying to you.
She's not in control.
And we don't want to see you get hurt.
Wait, you think you're making this better, making me choose? You are making it so much worse, I can't tell you.
This is my house.
You don't tell me what to do with my girlfriend.
There is no way in hell I'm putting up with that.
Coolair CA-526.
Ice dispenser, accessible doors.
Look at this, handy built-in juice dispenser.
All this for 1100 bucks.
Good brand, good price.
Great.
It's perfect.
I'll draw up the paperwork.
Uh, could you give us a minute? Take your time.
What's wrong? It's big enough, it's in our price range.
It got a black dot under crisper humidity.
Crisper-- What? Humidity.
In the Consumer's Guide.
We don't want soggy lettuce.
When do we ever-- Ever have lettuce? It also scored low on temperature uniformity.
The best overall rating went to the Frostspot 253.
There's no juice dispenser.
Juice dispenser's drive up your annual maintenance costs.
I like the juice dispenser.
The Coolair's only available in ivory.
Ivory shows fingerprints.
The Frostspot comes in ecru.
Ecru? What the hell is that? Consumer Guide says-- I don't care what Consumer Guide says.
I want the Coolair with the juice dispenser in ivory.
And I think it's a bad idea.
Why, because I thought of it? Well, you folks ready to talk deal? No.
No.
You don't want the Frostspot because I do.
You don't trust me to buy a refrigerator.
I didn't say that.
What's with you? Me? What is with you? Maintenance costs, crisper uniformity, ecru? God, Kirsten, it's not even your money I'm spending here.
[SIGHS DISGUSTEDLY.]
Libby, um Libby, please.
I'm not talking to you.
I wanted to tell you.
I just wanted to figure out a good way.
A good way? And I feel really bad about this, and I'm just trying to-- You could've had Justin before.
Oh, but then he wasn't good enough for you, but now he is.
Now that he's my boyfriend.
Was.
That's not what happened.
Libby, I just-- I couldn't help it.
That is such a lame excuse.
Of course you could.
If something happened between you and Justin, and you were really my friend, you could've said no.
That's true.
I'm sorry.
The last thing I need right now is to think about you and Justin feeling sorry for me, because, frankly, that makes me want to throw up.
And there's nothing I can say? You don't actually think I'm gonna forgive you, do you? You know what, Julia? I really hate you for this.
Hi, Claudia.
What are you doing? They say animals act funny just before a quake, but with Thurber, it's kind of hard to tell.
Kirsten Oh, Charlie, look, I've been thinking.
So have I.
And I don't think this is a problem about money or refrigerators.
Exactly, and-- And it's not about trust.
Or faith.
We just have a few basic differences.
Right.
Like-- Like the way we make decisions.
I mean, I mean, you go by the book-- And you trust your gut.
Both are perfectly valid approaches to life.
Right.
Okay.
So I want to try this again.
I want you to take back the money for the business.
Well, thanks, but, um, I don't need it.
You don't? We took the designs and the cost projections and the money that Gwen already had in escrow, and we made a pitch to the bank, and it's not definite yet, but I have a feeling we're actually gonna get a loan.
Charlie, that's great! That's-- [SLIGHT RUMBLE.]
Aftershock! Thurber! It wasn't an aftershock, Claudia.
It was a Coolair CA 526.
Um, Kirsten, I-- Don't say anything.
Don't say anything.
You wanted a juice dispenser, you should have a-- It's a Frostspot FS 253 in ecru.
So which one should we send back? You want to do something tonight? Go hear some music or something.
I don't think so.
Yeah.
I'm thinking about dropping yearbook.
You know, whoever said "All's fair in love and war," wasn't the person who got hurt.
It was obviously the person who won.
Well, that's us.
Yeah, that's us.
We like each other.
That's allowed.
I know.
It's You just start finding things out about yourself, you know, like the things you're willing to do to people.
Yeah.
Wellwe're together.
Are you glad about that? Yeah, I-- I'm glad.
I just wish that I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't know either but I like sitting here with you.
I mean, we don't have to do anything else.
We could just sit here.
Do you like sitting with me? I like sitting with you a lot.
How about standing? Do you like standing? Standing's nice.
How about hopping? [LAUGHS.]
Hopping is actually a little strange.
Yeah, you're probably right.
It's gonna be all right.
You don't know that.
[.]
Hey.
Hey Can I interest you in a Sports Illustrated from the Bush administration? I finally got Patty to spring for new mags.
You got a minute? Um, yeah.
Sure.
I have a really good time with you.
I have a really good time with you too.
I don't want to be with anyone else.
Bailey I know about the Darvax.
Claudia saw you take it.
It's not what you think.
I can explain-- I don't want you to.
Please.
Please don't explain, because I won't believe you whatever you say, because you lied to me when you said you weren't using, and you lied to me when you said you stopped.
And if you honestly don't believe that you have a problem, then what can I do? So I can't be with you anymore, and I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, because Because I really care about you, and I want you to get some help, butI guess I guess I'll just see you.
Bailey, wait.
Wait! Okay, okay, you're right! You're right! I do have a problem.
Look, I'm sorry, Bailey.
I tried.
I meant what I said when I promised you.
I really meant it, I really tried, but I couldn't.
I couldn't.
And I only lied to you, because I was afraid that you'd leave.
And see? You are anyway.
Don't go, Bailey.
Pleasedon't walk away.
I can't do this by myself.
I can't stop if you walk away.
So don't.
Don't walk away.
Please? Okay.
Should I ask? Shh! It's Claudia's idea.
It's the only place she feels safe.
It's just for tonight.
Unless we have another aftershock.
Then we're gonna have her institutionalized.
[GIGGLING.]
Well, if it was her idea, where is she? Up front with Owen.
Is there room for me? Sure.
Just don't rock the truck.
Trust me, you don't want her to wake up.
Come on, Charlie, shove over.
[GIGGLING.]
Ow! [WHISPERS.]
Shh! Be quiet.
Something's lost Something is found They will keep on Speaking her name Some things change Some stay the same [.]
