Brothers & Sisters s02e06 Episode Script

Previously on "Brothers & Sisters" your sister took a pregnancy test, but it was negative.
Actually, it was, um, positive.
- what? - what? Whatever extracurricular relationship you have, end it.
I award joseph whedon full temporary custody of paige and cooper whedon.
I have a lot of friends who are addicts, and when they head back down this road - starting now, everything changes.
It was a big gay cocktail party.
So it was all gay men and uncle saul? Why do I feel like I'm being cross-examined? All I said was, "you never told me your uncle's gay.
Are you happy about the baby? Yeah, I'm really, really happy.
I, um I gotta get going.
You know, there's nothing that says you can't spend the night.
I'll even make you my famous french toast in the morning, which, in the spirit of full disclosure, I get from the diner across the street.
sounds great, but, um I gotta go.
"good night, stars.
"Good night, air.
Good night, noises, everywhere.
night, mom.
Love you.
Good night, my little man.
Hi, mom.
Hey, chicken! So it looks likee're up to ooh, "the whomping willow.
I don't really feel like it.
Oh, honey, do you feel okay? I'm just tired, that's all.
Okay.
Well, you go get some sleep and know that I love you more than anything.
Good night.
Good night, beautiful girl.
you're not still at the office, are you? Uh, no, I-I called it a night.
How are you feeling? Uh, great.
Really great, except, you know, I'm exhausted, and I'm constantly fighting the urge to vomit.
I wish I could be there.
I would hold your hair back while you puke.
You know what? You're so romantic.
I try.
By the way, um, operation puppy is proceeding as planned.
Must we call it "operation puppy"? Well, "operation shotgun wedding because the condom broke just doesn't have the same ring.
But I did find some really good help for the event - cheap, efficient mom.
I might have known.
look how is the media strategy coming? Oh, well, you - you know, I'm on top of it.
Are you being purposefully evasive? No, I'm just not bombarding you with the details because you and I agreed that we would divide and conquer.
You'd run for president, and I would take control of the domtic situation.
Unless, of course, you - you want to switch.
I do.
I'm tired of sleeping at 30, 000 feet.
No, sorry, not you.
Honey, I gotta go.
I love you.
-I love you, too.
Isaac! -Hey, kitty! isaac, hi! Oh, hello.
-Oh, kitty.
Oh, it's so good to see you.
Look at you.
It's been a long time.
So you're finally collecting, huh? Oh, well, you know, I told you I would.
Stupid move on my part- I get you to keep quiet about my candidate's offshore accounts, and the idiot still loses the election.
Hmm, well, too bad, my friend.
A deal's a deal.
Well, I just wish you didn't wait until I retired.
Well, I couldn't waste your talents on something trivial.
Uh, so, um, have a seat.
I'm all ears.
well, this is sort of - it's sort of-sort of- I- it-it's-it is- well, it's kind of stupid.
Just-I'M I'M I'm pregnant.
oh, w-with that buildup, I thought your guy was busted playing footsies with a state trooper in an airport bathroom.
no, no, thank - thank goodness, no.
But, uh, so - so, then this is nothing to worry about? It's not a felony, but of course it's something to worry about.
The girlfriend of a presidential candate gets pregnant? Pretty scandalous in some parts of the country.
Right.
Right, of course.
Well, we-we've already been on it.
We-we've moved the wedding up a month.
You do need me, yeah.
If your boy wants to be president, you get your butts down to city hall - no muss, no fuss.
Really? W - when? This weekend.
No!No, no.
You're telling me that I have to get married in two days? No time to waste.
Kevin.
W - why are you here? Uh, well, I called your cell phone, but it's disconnected.
So I dropped by your place, and your landlady- who is really creepy, by the way - said you no longer live there.
Yeah, well, I would love to catch up, but I just spent the last hour deboning quail, and now I'm moving on to chicken.
So now is not the best time.
Okay, fine, I get it, you're mad about the whole saul thing.
But, you know, disconnecting your phone and moving is a little extreme, even for you.
This may come as a shock to you, but what's happening with me has nothing to do with you.
Okay, fine.
What does it have to do with? I'd really rather not do this here.
I would rather not stalk my friends for them to talk to me, but I'm here.
My tuition was due, so I fell behind on my rent and my car insurance and my phone bill.
Turns out being a cooking student and apprentice sous chef isn't a road to financial freedom.
Why didn't you just call me? Oh, what is it they say - "pride goeth before the eviction"? Oh, come on, scotty, this is me.
I know, and you were finally starting to treat me like someone whose life wasn't a complete train wreck.
So where are you staying? Oh, friends' futons, friends' sleeping bags and last night, my ranchero.
You're homeless? Oh, I like to think of it as being between homes.
Oh, look, I have I've got an inflatable mattress.
You should come stay with me.
Are you really sure there's room for me with all our baggage? I have a boyfriend, and I'm in love, so and your missionary really won't mind? If he's gonna be looking after poor school children, the least I can do is shelter a struggling culinary artist.
Okay.
I'll, um, I'll put the key under the mat.
- Good luck with the chicken.
- Thank you.
every single one, you know? I was looking - I was looking at this new trend - I don't like new tre - good morning, justin.
Hey.
Are you okay? Just didn't get a lot of sleep.
Thank god for skinemax.
Oh, that's nice.
Okay, well, anyways, the new centerpiece trend is to put citrus fruit in the vases instead of flowers.
Citrus fruit?No, no, no, no.
We couldn't do citrus fruit.
It would look like we were advertising for ojai foods, and besides that, kitty is much more of a traditionalist than that.
Except for the fact that she got knocked up before the I dos.
Yes, well, except for that.
I was thinking hydngeas, white orchidS.
What do you think, justin? I think now is my cue to leave.
Eo que ahora es I love orchids.
Yes.
I love orchids, too.
I - I'll just run that by kitty.
He seems a bit down, doesn't he? Well, his life pretty much consists of physical therapy and more physical therapy, so, you know- he really needs to have some fun.
You don't happen to have any single, attractive friends, do you? hello? Kitty, I was just gonna call you.
Okay, hydrangeas, white orchids what change of plans? But we lose an opportunity for media coverage.
Everybody loves weddings.
Uh, I'm sorry.
What's your name again? Uh, travis.
Uh, travis, people like celebrity weddings.
Political weddings- the last one that meant anything was charles and diana, and look how well that turned out.
Yeah, I-I agree with isaac.
We-we get married under the radar, and then we send a press release to the media saying that our impending wedding is distracting them from the current issues and the campaign.
And what about the bun in the oven? Well, we wait till the second trimester to announce kitty's pregnant.
Come on! It is still gonna reek of a shotgun wedding.
The christian right is gonna have a field day with this.
I'm sorry to break it to you - the christian right, they're not even supporting your candidate.
So we abandon the base? No.
You own the candidate you have.
Make mccallister and kitty, um, represent a modern - day jack and jackie.
I'm sorry.
That's a little pie-in-the-sky, don't you think? Not if we give the press something else to focus on.
Right, right, something that makes our wedding and our baby look completely old-fashioned and quaint.
Like I'm working on it.
Does robert know about any of this? Oh, I'm sorry to barge in.
kitty, I cannot stand by and let this happen.
For the love of pete! This is the most important day of your life.
You can't honor your- I am in the middle of a meeting.
I'm not gonna talk about this.
we are not going to negotiate this.
- You're gonna thank me one day.
You are gonna thank me - excuse me.
I promise you, I am not ever gonna thank you for this.
I will not.
Who are you? I'm nora walker.
she's my mother.
you should've seen this child.
4 years old, she put a dishcloth on her head, pretending it was a veil, walked down the aisle as if to prince charming.
That was kevin.
It was both of you.
Don't you remember how you would pore over my wedding pictures? She's your little girl, and you want her wedding day to be perfect.
Yes.
I understand that.
-Good.
But this isn't about romance.
It's politics.
-Politics be damned.
Mom, the groom is running for president.
And given that, this wedding needs to be disposed of.
Oh, isn't that nice? What a lovely way for them to start their lives together.
Well, what do you suggest, mrs.
Walker? It's ms.
Walker, and who said a wedding can't be memorable, romantic and quick? Kitty, we could use our house.
You could wear my dress, flowers from the yard- mom, thank you.
You're being very sweet, but-but- but you know how you are.
You'll get carried away, and the minute you tell kevin I won'T.
-Everybody in the world will know.
You really want to take this on? Yes.
Look, robert and kitty deserve more than drop ceilings and fluorescent lights.
Fluorescent lights, kitty.
Ms.
Walker, if you can pull this off by sunday morning, I put it in your hands.
You put it in my hands.
Thank you.
He put it in my hands.
-Yes, he did.
Fine.
Call me nora.
In my hands.
wow, what was that about? You just-you just folded like an origami swan.
You know me.
I don't fight battles I can't win.
Two days? I know, I know, but I do not want to hear it's impossible, because I just convinced some republican politico that it is ssible.
All I want to hear is that you'll be here tomorrow to help.
Mom, I've got the kids this wkend.
Great!Four more hands.
Oh, god.
-sarah, principal briel is on line two.
Uh, mom, I've got paige's school on the other line.
Call me back!Call me back! sarah walker speaking.
I'll be right there.
I'll take a tuna sandwich - oh, no, tuna?Tuna, no, no.
No fish.
Let's make that a veggie salad, uh, with chicken.
Thank you.
hi, honey.
Um, what-what are you doing back so soon? The rally was canceled.
It was raining.
What's he doing here? Hey, robert.
it's good to see you again.
I think double congratulations are in order.
Thank you.
Would you mind if I just took one second to catch up with kitty? Of course.
Take your time.
That is who the hell you think you need to get this under control? Why didn't you just hire G.
Gordon liddy? Oh, please.
Would you stop being so dramatic? He is the best at-at damage control.
He is damage.
Look, if people get wind that he is on this campaign, they will think we are in crisis.
Oh, well, guess what, robert? We are in a crisis.
Remember, I'm pregnant? Isaac is handling this as a favor to me, and after that, he is going to be gone, and you are never gonna have to deal with him again.
But if you want to get through this pregnancy, and you want to get through this wedding, and you still want to be a viable republican presidential candidate, then you are gonna have to get ahold of your testosterone, and you are gonna have to suck it up! So sarah and I are being civil, which is an improvement from her just glaring at me, and justin's doing great.
He's off his crutches, and I mean, the physical therapy's still hurting him, but he's handling it, so that's great.
Here.
Yeah, and I've been, um, reading about vets coming home, and, you know, I'm just trying to give him his space- rebecca, you have been home for an hour, and all you've done is talk about the walkers.
Mom, I know you're still mad at them, but- this is not about them at all.
This is about you.
I'm doing great.
No, what you're doing is being nursemaid to justin and assistant to nora.
that's not fair.
You know, I have come to terms with the fact that you need to know them and be part of their lives.
I miss you, but I understand.
But, sweetie, you shouldn't give up yourself in the process.
What are you talking about? I'm talking about your life, you.
I have a life.
It's not like I'm wasting my time.
And you may not understand this, mom, but he needs me.
He depends on me for a lot of things, and I just want to help him get through this.
When I was your age, I thought that I had all the time in the world.
But the truth is you don't, and I don't want you to look back at this time and have regrets.
Okay, I won'T.
Can we drop this? For now.
I'm meeting with a former associate of mine.
He might be of some help.
Look, kitty's an old friend.
There's not much I wouldn't do for her.
I don't like how you operate.
And kitty's brought you on - that's fine.
I'll give her that latitude.
But let me make one thing really clear, around here, I run a clean shop.
You can't stand me, can you? That's putting it mildly.
no, no.
No, guys.
No.
No, no, this table stays here.
I'm gonna put the place cards on the tables outside.
Mom, it's all family.
Do we really need assigned seating? Yeah, please, nora.
And don't sit me next to kevin.
The details matter.
This couch I want you to move out.
I'm sorry, I'm too old for that, nora.
Oh, saul, come on.
Think of your darling niece upstairs resting, exhausted, nauseous - and here.
Hi, honey, how are you feeling? Well, apparently, really bad.
I was just saying to them that they should be at least- no, no, you were just guilting them into heavy lifting.
I was not.
-yeah, you were.
Saul, uh, you want to go grab a beer? Is that what movers drink? the doctor's office called.
You're all set up for your after-hours sonogram.
Is robert going th you? uh, no, no.
He's, uh, he's busy.
Well, then I'll go with you.
No, that's okay, you know?It's- it's just a routine.
It's no big deal.
Sweetheart, this is your first baby and your first sonogram.
You can't do it alone.
Do you really want to go? I really want to go.
- Hi, grandma.
Hi, aunt kitty.
- Hey, paige.
How are ya? Where's your mom and coop? In the kitchen.
How's the boss? Bossy.
Kevin's on a flower run, and we're on furniture duty.
Oh, god.
-Oh, no, no, not me.
I quit.
Hey, kitty.
Quick.
Show aunt kitty what you made.
What is it? It's something to hold your flowers in for your wedding.
Oh, cooper, I love it.
That is so cool.
Thank you.
What's with paige?Is she sick? No, she's grounded.
well, she pulled the fire alarm at school for a dare.
Well, that's not like her.
I know.
She's been very distant and angry.
I think this new custody arrangement is really affecting her.
Hey, how'd the interview go? Great.
You were right.
They asked about noid contracts.
You still mad at me? He's a scum, but it's hard to be mad at you when we're having a puppy.
listen, I wish I could be there tonight.
Ah, well, don't worry.
They - they put it all on a dvd now.
You can see it when you get home tonight.
I can't wait.
I know.
I know.
It's weird.
It's messing everything up, but it just feels right.
Well, listen, it's gonna be late, so don't wait up, okay? I love you.
I love you, too.
Bye.
I remember that.
I used to watch it all the time.
So weird.
So I hear you're grounded.
You know, I got grounded once.
Well, I got grounded a lot more than once, but there was this one time I got so mad at this boy that I forked his yard.
What's that? do you know those, uh, those plastic forks that you get out of the cafeteria? Well, I used them to spell a message in front of his house.
What did it say? mm, it was it was very naughty.
oh, do me a favor.
Don't tell your mother I told you about forking.
Oh, and I also wanted to ask you another favor.
Um, I need a flower girl for my wedding, and I was really hoping that you would say yes.
You want me to be your flower girl? Yeah, I do.
So what do you say? You up to it? Thanks, I'd love to.
- Really?Oh, good.
I'm so happy.
You're gonna be the best flower girl ever.
thanks.
What color-what color dress do you want to wear? - Purple.
-Purple? Lena, hey, it's rebecca.
Hey, yeah, I was wondering, do you maybe want to grab a drink later? Oh, good, because it's total chaos over here.
I need something to look forward to.
Yeah, you and me both.
I'll call you in a little bit.
So, uh, where you goin'? Oh, I'm just gonna meet up with lena in a little bit.
All of this weddg prep is- yeah, I know.
It's like an air traffic control in here.
could I come? I mean, well, it's at a bar, so- oh, are you kidding?With this family, I think I've mastered the skill of not drinking around drinkers.
Well, then yeah.
I mean, sure.
It could be fun.
-Cool.
Uh, I postponed your speech to the pittsburgh fire workers union for the wedding.
I've rescheduled it for wednesday between the pep rally in cincinnati and your cnn interview in new york.
On sunday you get hitched, and then we jet to sacramento for the speech to the V.
F.
W.
At 6:00.
Did you schedule my bachelor party? Did you expect me to do that? No, travis, I didn't expect you - come in.
Am-am I interrupting? No.
No, we were just finishing up.
you can just put that on my desk.
Did you know that governor adamson has a severely developmentally disabled son? No, I thought he just had the three daughters.
His son has been in a residential facility since birth- a very reputable, very good, very expensive facility, which he's paying for privately.
And what does that have to do with me? Adamson's record.
He authorized budget cuts to special education.
He didn't support the reauthorization of the individuals with disabilities act.
What am I supposed to do with this information? Nothing.
I have a source just waiting for a word from me.
Once you announce the pregnancy, he'll leakhe story.
You're good.
Kitty was right about that.
But there's something she doesn't know.
Ten years ago you were doing some consulting work for michael breen.
He was running for state senate in california.
Do you remember the race? It's a long time ago.
I was his opponent, and just as I started to get some traction, the sacramento paper wrote an article outing my brother, who, of urse, wasn't out at the time.
It practically ruined my relationship with jason.
It devastated him, not to mention what it did to my family.
I almost quit politics after that.
Any idealism I had about public policy or sanctity of government was completely obliterated by what you did.
Then stop wasting your time and drop out of this race.
This is presidential politics.
And if you're looking for idealism, you're not gonna win the nomination.
I'd expect you to say that.
All right, well, all your test results look fine.
Your blood pressure is normal.
Want to take a look at your baby? Yes.
Me, too.
okay, lay back.
Let's put this up, get a little gel on.
let's just make sure that everything is good.
There's the sac.
oh, my gosh.
All right, let me just see if I can, uh try and get A is something wrong? Okay.
Kitty, let's sit up and why don't you take this and wipe the gel off your belly? I am so sorry to have to tell you this, but I don't detect a heartbeat.
W - what are you trying to tell me? I'm afraid that this pregnancy is not viable.
this is lovely.
Can I make you some soup or some tea or something? I want to help you.
Oh, no.
I'm-I'm fine.
You didn't do anything wrong, kitty.
That's what the doctor said.
Miscarriages in the first trimester are very, very common.
I know.
So you want to lay down? I'll stay with you until robert comes home.
I think I'm just gonna wait for him by myself, if-if that's okay with you.
Yeah, I understand.
Thank you for driving.
-Sure.
Thanks.
I hate to ask you to do this, but do you think that maybe you could call everybody and tell them that there's not gonna be a wedding tomorrow? Okay, thanks.
Bye.
no, seriously, tommy wanted to put a picture of lizzie in a bee costume on the label for the new cabernet.
I mean, she's cute, but come on.
Yeah, and babies don't really make you want to drink.
Which is exactly your mom's poi, right? So while they were arguing, I went back to the files, and I found a picture of a single flower on a grapevine, and they loved it.
Oh, that's good.
Yeah, but what's really cool is that, you know, once they're on store shelves, I'll be in the supermarket, and I'll know that that label was my idea.
It was completely my idea.
wait, is that lame? No, it just means you love your job.
Eh, a little lame.
- Thanks, justin.
That's sweet.
- No worries.
would it be completely rude of me to ask you what is was like over there in iraq? I mean, that must have been intense.
It's not - it's not rude.
Check this out, though.
That's impressive, right? that's 90 right there.
Yeah, that's great.
So, becca, what's goin' on with you? Oh, you know, nothing, really.
Same old.
Are there any new guys on the horizon? No, no.
I - you know, I've been busy.
Yeah, busy playing home health aide.
do y wear an outfit? What-what's going on with your guy? Oh, you know, we're just, uh, hangin' out.
So he's a bump buddy? No.
-Yes.
Uh, do you go to the movies? Well, he's not really into movies.
- Have you hung out with his friends? - Not yet, no.
Has he spent the whole night? Well, he has to get up early for work.
Bump buddy.
-Whatever! What's wrong with just having some fun? Nothing.
In fact, I'm jealous.
Um, I'm gonna get something else to drink.
Do you guys want anything? Yeah, uh, actually, I'll take one of these.
I'm good, thanks.
what are you doing? Uh, just meds.
You know, take the edge off the pain - war wounds, nerve damage- You're milkin' it, right? Is it working? A little bit.
-Okay.
Did they give you anything good? It's not bad.
Feel like sharing? please? Yeah, sure, go ahead.
"jose suarez"? Okay, busted.
You know, let's just keep it between us.
'Cause if rebecca finds out, like she'll-she'll flip out.
Like, as soon as I got home, she's been like protective, you know, like, making my mom look mellow, which is like listen, don't worry about it, all right? It'll just be our little secret.
All right, cool.
I thought you were tapering off.
God, it's-it's my last dose, all right? I got you a soda in case you changed your mind.
Party time.
come on.
Drink up.
Uh, jason, I've tried every number you've given me.
And I know I'm about to leave you the worst answering machine message in history, but I don't have a choice.
Um, there's no wedding because there's no baby.
Kitty had a miscarriage, so I'm sure robert would love to hear from you.
I'd love to hear from you.
Anyway, I hope you're okay.
Bye.
I'm really sorry.
Yeah, me, too.
Is there anything I can do? Yeah, you could deflate the mattress when you leave.
I tripped on it earlier, almost killed myself.
I'm serious, kevin.
After everything you've done for me no.
No, there's nothing.
Thank you for the thought, though.
Oh, god.
Oh, how's kitty doing? Yeah, I'll call her tomorrow.
Okay, thanks, mom.
oh, god.
How you doing? I'm making a card for aunt kitty.
She's gonna love it.
That was grandma on the phone.
Aunt kitty's not feeling too good.
She has to spend a couple of days in bed.
But what about the wedding? They're gonna have to postpone it, honey, but she still wants you to be her flower girl when it happens.
But what if we're staying at dad's when they get married? That's okay.
We'll work it out when the time comes.
No, that's not what happens.
You fight and you yell! - Paigey.
-Leave me alone! oh, hey there.
Wow, you're drunk.
Yeah, well, you're not feelin' much pain either.
Well, this is awkward.
it's nice.
Ooh mm justin, we we have to stop.
What?Why? We have to stop 'cause you're, um you're rebecca's brother.
So? and we're blocking the entrance to the bathrooms? oh, it's about that other guy, right? It's a lot of thin.
okay, yeah, you know, let - let's go back.
where's rebecca? How you doing? You okay? I had a miscarriage.
Well, actually they call it a missed miscarriage.
I guess the baby died a couple of days ago, or maybe a week.
Oh, my god.
Yeah, I guess we're not gonna have a puppy.
I'm sorry.
sorry, it's just my- my pathetic attempt at-at humor.
What happened? I don't know.
They say it happens all the time.
Uh, I have a-a d&c scheduled for tomorrow where they - they remove the fetus, and-and after that, a couple days of recovery, and then I'll be fine.
Oh, my god.
No, honey, it's good.
It's nature's way of ending a potential problem, and we don't have to rush the wedding.
I am so sorry.
I am so sorry.
It's okay.
paige? Paige, honey, you want to talk? Paige? That's right, 8 years old.
Gray jeans, a print top call all her friends at school.
Call anybody you can think of, and call me as soon as you hear something.
She's a diabetic.
She doesn't have her insulin on her.
Okay, thanks again, officer.
What did the police say? They're sending a car over.
They're gonna put out an amber alert.
They want me to stay here in case she calls.
All right.
I'll drive around the neighborhood.
First weekend she stays with you she's stayed with me her whole life.
I told you she was in trouble.
I told you.
if anything happens to her what? You'll blame me? Sarah, you're supposed to be watching her.
She's with you, not me.
Damn you!We did this to her.
Why did you have to make it so hard? She didn't disappear from my house.
oh, it's mom.
Hi, mom.
Sarah, I've got paige.
You do? When I pulled into the driveway, she was on the porch, waiting.
How is she? Fine.
But she's- she's begging me to let her spend the night here.
She wants to stay with mom tonight.
I really think it might be good for her.
You don't have to worry.
I've got an insulin kit and everything.
All right.
Okay, we'll pick her up in the morning.
Thanks, mom.
I'll call you.
Okay, I'll talk to you later.
joe, this isn't working.
I know.
Did you get any sleep? No.
I couldn'T.
I made coffee.
Tried to drink it, but I've been off caffeine for so long, it to drink a cup of coffee, it just felt so final.
It just made it feel so over.
Well, it's not over.
We can try again.
I know.
You know what?It's just- just gonna get through this, and then we'll be able to move on.
I'm going with you.
-No, no, no.
My mom is gonna go with me.
Kitty, I'm comin'.
No.
No, robert.
What if somebody sees you or - or somebody takes a picture? I don't care.
I'm not leaving you alone.
So you heard? Yeah, I did.
It's so sad.
so you packin' up her room for her? Nope.
I'm going home.
wait.
Is-is this because of last night? Are you using again, justin? Rebecca, I'm taking pain medication for my leg.
You know that.
Yeah, and I also know what people look like when they're high, and last night you were high, justin.
Why-why are you being so judgmental? Because I have spent every waking minute trying to take care of you.
Well, who asked you to? Nobody.
Nobody.
I have no idea what I'm doing here.
You know what? Yeah, you're right, I'm using more than what the doctor prescribed.
You want to know why? So I can get better fast, because I'm sick and tired of being here while my friends die over there, and I can't tell anyone that, because they won't get it.
But I want to go back.
Can you understand that? No.
No, justin, I don't believe you.
I think yoyou're telling yourself that because it seems noble and important, but you're using because you're an addict, justin, and you'll always find a reason.
hey, what are you doin' in here? Waiting for my mom.
She's mad.
Well, people are mad at me, too, kid.
I just-I do things that I know will get me in trouble, but I do 'em anyhow.
It's been hard with your mom and dad, huh? I wish I could be two places at the same time.
Me, too.
Kitty walker? We're ready for you.
I'll be waiting right here.
Yeah, thanks.
This is what I want, so please make it happen.
Thank you.
come here.
Oh, I was worried about you.
I'm sorry.
I don't want you to get a divorce.
Oh, paigey.
I'm sorry.
The thing is, life just sometimes doesn't work out the way that you want it to, and there's nothing that you can do that will change it, especially not running away.
But we are gonna change a few things.
From now on, you and coop are gonna spend half your time here, half your time with me.
You all right with that? Good.
Go upstairs.
Say hi to your brother.
He'd love to see you.
Thank you.
Did you, uh, hear from jason yet? No, but luckily I have enough work to distract me.
Okay, I cannot let you drown yourself in legal briefs.
It's too depressing.
Scotty, i am depressed.
That's because you miss him.
But there are other ways to deal with it other than work.
Really? What do you propose? Well, if you're feeling romantic about him "the thorn birds.
" If you're angry at him, "the exorcist, " and if youe just in the mood for a good time- and my personal favorite- "glitter.
" Let's start with "the exorcist.
Thought I'd drop by before my flight.
How's kitty? She's at home resting with her family.
Thank you.
I, uh, realize it's a bad time, but I know kitty would want me to warn you.
You've got a potential time bomb on your hands because of what just happened.
If your opponents discover that kitty had a d&c, and that you went with her, you'd be dealing with speculations that she had an abortion.
If I were your campaign managers, I'd have a press release written.
I'd schedule interviews for both of you, especially with female reporters, the daytime talk shows.
That way if the story leaked, you'd be able to end the rumors immediately.
The two of you look sympathetic, and your opponents cruel and opportunistic.
My fiancee and i lost our baby less than 24 hours ago, and we just canceled our wedding.
I have to fly to new hampshire to talk to the family taxpayers' association.
I haven't had a minute to think about what just happened until I was in the hospital waiting room.
And you know what I was thinking? That I never wanted that baby.
I have two kids of my own already, and I thought I was done.
And I never told kitty and I can't tell kitty.
And I don't know if god is giving me what I want or punishing me or both.
So, isaac, if you'll excuse me, I am gonna ignore your advice.
I haven't quite reached your level of sober pragmatism.
Before i can spin what's just happened to kitty and I , I'm gonna need just about two hours to feel like crap.
Ir enough.
um, robert if after all of this you still want to be president, and if I can do anything, call me.
how do you feel? I don't know.
I guess just like the doctor said I would- groggy and-and crampy.
She said a heating pad might help.
Yeah, I think I just need to be sad for a while.
You take as much time as you need.
well, I should let you get some sleep.
Mom? Do you think you could stay for a while? Always.
