Brothers & Sisters s02e08 Episode Script
Something New
Previously on "brothers & sisters" and I can't seem to get an answer as to when or if she's coming back.
I wanted to talk to you about joe and the kiss.
Oh, please.
We are so past that.
I may have led him on a little bit.
did you, uh, tell jason about you and scotty's little "slumber party"? No, actually.
You are beyond pathetic.
You spend so much time trying to get somebody to love you that you can't help anybody.
That's enough.
I can't do this to my family.
I'm sorry if I hurt you.
Can you just go? I don't wanto wait to get married.
I want to get married now.
"From this moment, " "a moment like this, " "because you loved me.
" "Because you loved me"? Now how is that a good wedding song? It's past tense.
And perfect for my marriage.
Shouldn't your fiance be doing this? Well, I guess the second time around, it sort of loses its allure.
Yeah, it's like going through the steps again.
Speaking of which, I need to apologize to rebecca.
Yeah, she probably hates you.
Oh, no, no, no.
No one expects you to be warm and fuzzy at your own intervention.
Who wants a cookie? Mom, how's it going looking for a dress? It's so depressing.
Every single mother of the bride dress is beige or bedazzled, with all these necks and sleeves and jackets and things.
You get to be a certain age, and they-they try to desex you.
I mean, I might as well be dressed in beige paper and headed off towards the recycling bin.
- How about ol' blue eyes? - That's a good idea.
No, no, we can't, we can't because robert's first wedding was practically sinatra-themed.
What about that beautiful song by the dixie chicks? At a republican candidate's wedding? Well, if you rule out every democrat, you're basically left with ted nugent, lynyrd skynyrd and zz top.
Well, I'm a democrat, and I lost my virginity to "she's got legs.
" - Oh, god! - Crossing a le, sarah.
Mine was the "dirty dancing" theme.
No! Be gayer.
I bet kitty's was talk radio.
hey.
Justin? Don't look at me.
I'm not having this conversation in front of mom.
- come on.
- Oh, please.
Uh, uh, pink floyd's "the wall, " gabby kleiner, the tenth grade.
Are you you-you heard that? thanks.
I have two first-sex soundtracks, girl and guy.
Okay, now stop.
Stop, you guys, please.
You're ruining all music for me.
Sorry I'm late.
What's up, buddy? Robert, what song did you lose your virginity to? Mom.
Well, we're just trying to figure out our wedding song.
Interesting methodology.
Um, "endless love.
" yeah, okay.
Um, bad news.
I spoke to jason, and he can't come to the wedding.
You spoke with jason? Yeah, uh, briefly.
And then the other day, we got completely cut off.
The other day? I haven't spoken to him in weeks, and he's called you twice? He was gonna be my best man.
Oh, well-well, the next time you two chat, maybe you could tell him his committed, monogamous, yet highly sought after boyfriend says hi.
So does everybody know that kitty has us scheduled for dance lessons? Ballroom dancing? Kitty, pleasE.
Come on, tommy.
I'm not that bad.
I've got it.
I've got it- "pretty woman.
" No, thanks, mom, but that will make me come off a little conceited.
No, no, no.
I mean, that was my first time song.
I can't believe I remember that.
Mom, we don't need to picture you and dad.
Who said anything about dad? - What?! - mom! - wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
I thought dad was your first.
- No.
- I thought dad swept you off your feet when you were barely 18.
- No.
Mom, you sluT.
it was the '60s.
It was this- this guy I'd known in high school-stan harris.
he got drafted and-and went off to canada.
- It was in the backseat of his dad's cutlass - oh, my god.
- and he was tall, and I was short- - I gotta go.
- I'm gonna make more popcorn.
- thank you.
I'm- Fine.
Fine.
So what, I-I guess I've just never had sex before? that doesn't look safe.
- It lowers your blood pressure.
- Yep? So does a glass of wine with far less risk of paralysis.
Why aren't you working? I'm on days.
We could go back to writing notes if actual conversation is too weird.
Oh, sorry.
No messages.
of course not.
Do you wanna be my date for kitty's wedding? Oh, how appealing.
A spite invite? No.
Yes.
A-a little.
You know going to a wedding alone is torture.
What about jason? Reverend "god forbid I call you back" won't be there.
Yeah, but his brother robert will.
What will he think? Who cares? Miatello's is catering.
They're serving those little gorgonzola and potato pizzas with saffron and sage.
You had me at "gorgonzola.
" Thought so.
kitty.
Hi.
Hi.
Um, I'm sorry.
I- I hope I didn't wake you up.
No, no, I've been up for a while.
Um, well, do you wanna come in? Sure.
Yeah, c-come in.
Um, is justin okay? - Yeah, actually, you know, he's-he's doing much better.
- Oh, good.
And you know what? Thank you, by the way, for letting everybody know what was going on.
And I-I know he-he said some really awful things to you.
No, he said awful things to everyone, so actually, he did.
But, you know, it's just if it hadn't been for you, we wouldn't have been able to help him and so anyway, the reason that I'm here is that¡ª and there's no pressure, and you can definitely say no if you feel uncomfortable¡ª but I just wondered if maybe by any chance you would want to be one of my bridesmaids? Oh, my god.
Well, I-I dn't even know if I'd be invited to the wedding.
Are you crazy? Well, of course.
Of course you're invited to the wedding.
You're my-you're my sister.
Well, is sa-is sarah okay with it? - I mean - yeah.
You know, who-who cares? She'll-she'll be fine.
Yes? No? Maybe? - You can think about it if you want.
-Yeah, I-I'd love to.
- Really? - Yeah.
That's great.
Should we hug? Sure.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Graham has quite a reputation for growing midsized companies.
Well, graham, reputation aside, ojai's not looking to re any outside consultants at this time.
Right.
Well, that's usually the first response.
Saul tells me that you wanna branch out into the organic market? Yes, that's something that we've been considering.
Let me give you some free advice-don'T.
Every other vendor's already noticed that trend, so, uh, you're a little behind the curve there.
And frankly, sarah, overhauling our farming practices would cost a hell of a lot more than hiring a private consultant.
Graham has some ideas about the international market.
Well, that's right.
Uh, namely, china.
It's a booming economy, it's an expanding middle class¡ª I've read all the same journals that you have.
Well, actually, I just came back from there.
Have you been? No, I haven'T.
Well, you gotta go.
The upscale markets in shanghai just can't handle the demand.
Just the word "california" transforms the everyday grape into, uh, a, uh, luxury item.
Well, just the word "china, " for me, conjures up a logistical nightmare.
And ojai doesn't have the human resources to overcome international licensing, tariffs¡ª yeah, well, that's just what I do.
I mean, I can help you navigate that whole thing.
Exactly, and thewe create a special division of ojai to handle foreign sales.
Leave your proposal.
I'll call you if I have any questions.
Okay, well, thanks for your time, sarah.
Great to meet you.
Thanks for the free advice.
I'll be in touch.
Okay, great, I will fax you a price list.
Bye.
Hey.
how you doing? I have been fielding phone calls all morning.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we hire lena to do that? Oh, she's probably running late.
Is she, or are you guys doing that thing you do where she comes five minutes after you so that I don't know that the two of you¡ª no, no, no, I, uh, I ended things with her.
Should we be looking for a new office manager? Sorry.
I stopped for pastries.
Tommy, I got your favorite.
Bear claws.
walker landing.
Yeah, he's right here.
It's your wife.
Julia, hey.
What's up? Elizabeth wanted to talk to her daddy.
Yeah.
Put her on.
hey, honey.
hi.
Oh, my god.
I was gonna call yesterday, but I thought a surprise would be surprising.
Wow, it's so good to see you.
Yeah, you, too.
And her.
Oh, my god.
She's so big! Hi! Welcome home, julia.
- She's incredible.
- Thanks.
- The place looks so good.
- Thanks.
uh, this is lena, our office manager.
Oh, of course.
Hi.
It's nice to put a face to the voice.
Yeah.
All right, well, I'm gonna leave for the day and get them settled.
Take as much time as you need.
- Thanks, holly.
- sure.
all right, let's go.
Okay.
By it was nice to meet you, lena.
You, too.
I'll, um, I'll-I'll check in later.
you still wa the job? You might want to rethink the work wardrobe.
proudly presents Sisters Season 02 Episode 08 Saul, do you remember stan harris? Of course I remember him.
Mother was convinced that he was gonna ruin you.
That's because I told her we were gonna travel around the country in his volkswagen bus and join a commune.
- I googled him.
- You what? Get this-he's history teacher at canyon falls high.
He's single.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Back up.
Since when does google tell you what someone's marital status is? I e-mailed him.
I couldn't help myself.
I might've been this whole other person if he hadn't gone to canada.
He lives 15 minutes away.
Can you believe it? You know what? He asked me out to dinner.
That's impressive.
I shouldn't go, not in a million years.
We'll have nothing to talk about.
What if he looks old? What if he thinks i look old? Oh, nora, come on.
You don't look that old.
Well, then again, what have I got to lose? I mean, there's history there.
What if that same old spark still exists? It could still exist.
You know that.
I know that? - What are you doing, nora? - What? I told you that I didn't want to talk about this, that I needed time to talk about this.
You want me to get in touch with the guy that I told you about? Is that it? Is that why you're mentioning stan harris, nora? No, I brought up stan because I wanted to talk to you about stan.
Yeah, right.
Look, don't get me wrong.
I do think we have to talk about this.
I mean, you can't tell me that you were in love with a man once and then we never discuss it again.
We have to talk about it eventually.
You know what, nora? I gotta go.
Well, saul, ould I- should I go Oh, well, you know, they're- they're just showing off, right? I can tell you, we're not gonna be doing anything like that.
Wow, that-that was- that was really, really good.
That was amazing, and-and thank you, but I don't think that we're gonna be needing anything don't worry about it, senator.
We'll adjust the steps to your song.
Well, you know what? We don't even really have a-a song yet.
We-we just wanna learn a couple of steps so we don't look like complete morons at our-our wedding.
Exactly.
Okay.
Whatever you wish.
Martena, just play a slow fox-trot, please.

It's slow, slow, quick, quick.

And slow- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Um, so it's-so it's- so it's left, right and then- - and then which-which side? - no, no, for you, kitty, it's the opposite.
See, you go right, left, side, together.
Hello? So-oh, it's opp-oh, I didn't-nobody told me that.
No problem.
That's what we're here for.
Okay, okay, um, let's see.
So it's right left.
and then to the side.
- Good.
That's good, but to the other side.

You had a lot to sort out.
I just-I wish I could take back so many things that I said.
I know.
Me, too.
Can we go back to the way things were? I want to, so bad.
You have no idea.
I come with decadence.

Okay.
Well? Well, what do you think? - Gorgeous.
- Really? Yeah, it's-it's got this great '60s vibe to it.
I mean- that's because it's from the '60s.
well, is it too '60s? No.
No, I think it's classic.
No, no, what I meant by that is it's very jackie O.
I don't know if that's the look I'm going for on my wedding day.
I mean, that's not even the right political party.
Oh, I'm just gonna stop talking.

Right in here.
Stan? Nora! - hi.
I'm sorry I'm late.
- No, no, no.

Oh, traffic in this city is absolutely impossible.
You can't get anywhere, ever.
If you're invited to go someplace between the hours of 5:00 and 7:00, I have to tell them, no, I'm sorry.
You can't get there from here.
You just can'T.

Kidding.
I'm sorry, nora.
I- I'm a little bit nervous.

- We're at this immigration rally.
- Right.
Ah, you know, all my kids.
I mean, my class.
There's this one-alonzo.
He's really smart, but he's, uh, you know, a little unfocused.
And I'm watching him.
And I'm seeing that he-he's a little bit affected by this, maybe a lot.
And I'm thinking, "this is why I do this.
" He's starting to think.
He-he wants to demand his right to be heard, you know? - And just at that moment - yeah? - He gets on the stage - yeah? - Drops his pants and moons the governor.
- oh, no! - Yeah.
- oh, no! I didn't want him to feel humiliated, so I get up and I join him.
oh, god! That's horrible! what happened? Well, you know, I spent a night in detention, paid a fine.
Alonzo, I think, is running for president of the school now.
Well, good for him.
I- I spent a night in jail.
well, I got caught smoking a joint with my girlfriend in her car- emily craft.
Crafty? Hey, you never- you never liked grass.
Oh, when did you pick up that habit? Never.
Are you kidding? Since last you saw me, all i've been doing is raising kids and being married to a republican, so yeah, I knew that.
So you never got married? No, I-I-I, you know, I came close a couple of times, but I don't think I ever really found the right person.
Yeah, the right person.
what are you doing tomorrow night? I'm sorry.
I know you've got plans, it's too soon.
I'm-I'm just no, no.
My goodness, at this age, almost nothing is too soon.
Yes, let'S let's do it.
Let's go out.
Good, 'cause I couldn't stand to wait another 40 years kevin.
kevin.
Go to bed.
Actually, could you take your foot out? - It's digging right into- - sorry.
I should go to my air mattress.

I really like th on you.
Come on, I look like a giant tangerine.
uh, I gotta take that.
I'm working.
I'm gonna get a couple more drses.
sarah walker.
Hey, it's graham finch.
Listen, I-I've been thinking about our meeting.
I hope I didn't come on too strong.
Bulldozer isn't your normal speed? Well, that's me.
You know, I'm aggressive.
I see something I want, I go for it.
That's why you want me.
- Oh, now I want you? - Figure of speech.
So what are you doing tonight?You wanna have some dinner? Uh, I have plans.
Well, then how about tomorrow night? Listen, just give me an hour, and if I can't convince you, uh, you'll never see me again.
What do you say? - Okay, tomorrow night it is.
- Great.
See you then.
- oh, don't you like that? - It's a pretty color, I guess.
what do you think of this one? Oh, wow, I-that color is so much better.
- really? - Oh, totally.
Now how come you're not bringing anybody to the wedding? Oh, you know, it's been a bit of a dry spell lately.
Dry spell?That doesn't sound like you.
What does that mean? Just that when I think of you, I don't think of "dry spell.
" You know, I do know a couple of really cute guys in my office.
Do you have type? No, I don't really have a type.
Except for married men, right, sarah? That's what you were gonna say? - No.
No, she wasn'T.
- I would never say that.
Hmm, well, there goes that foot in my mouth again.
It's not that I don't think about it occasionally.
It's just that I've long stopped obsessing about you, joe and my divorce.
What I am obsessed about is kitty, her wedding and which dress she's gonna force me to wear.
Right, kit? This is it.
This is the one.
oh! oh, my god.
Can you believe it? - It's perfect.
- it's perfect.
what about mom's dress? Oh, well, no.
No, I mean, it would be the one if I didn't already have the one.
- Oh, you're right.
- But oh, my god.
- Just try it on.
- No, no, I can'T.
I can'T.
It would be cheating.
I shouldn't even be looking at it.
Oh, come on.
Looking's not cheating is it, rebecca? Oh, my god.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You going to the gym? Yeah, have to.
Working in the kitchen demands it, or you end up, you know, with- I know, with love handles like me.
I think we've already established I have no problems with your body.
Nor I yours.
- Look, about last night - you don't have to say anything.
I know what happened.
You were vulnerable.
Your boyfriend's a million miles away, and I was a warm body after lobster dinner.
Add champagne and voila - mistake sex.
- What if it wasn't a mistake? Kevin, you don't have to make me feel better by turning yesterday's nostalgic sex romp into something that it wasn'T.
I'm not.
Believe me, I'm not.
Yes, of course I miss him.
You know, why wouldn't I? He's not calling me.
But it's like what we had, he's put into this compartment, and now he's gone back to his first love, which is god or the church or-or something.
I don't know.
- But it's certainly not me.
- You don't know that.
When people are far away- look, I know how I feel, so just let me feel that way.
It hurts.
Hey.
It'll be all right.
I promise.
I'm not so sure.
what is this? We go on a lovely picnic at the beach, and then you bring me out here for what, a gang initiation? Take a closer look.
All right.
Oh, it's jones hall.
we saw dylan here.
yeah.
Oh, my god.
Yeah, the memory of that night has gotten me through a lot of cold winters in toronto.
it was my first time, you know.
it was our first time.
I lied.
I didn't want you to think I didn't know what I was doing.
oh, stan, I was so madly in love with you.
Why did you leave? You ran off to canada.
You left everything- your family, your friends, me.
I- I wasn't enough for you.
What are you talking about? you love the fight you can't win.
But you already had me.
I mean, even then I knew I wasn't a challenge.
I wasn't looking for a challenge.
- Weren't you? - No.
You married a rich republican, somebody you can always argue with.
We're different.
I mean, I-I don't like the fight.
I'm committed to the cause.
stan will you come see my life, meet my kids? Will you come with me to my daughter's wedding? I'd be honored.
Will your mother be there? um, yeah.
oh, boy.
oh, god, I love this song, still.
so do I.
why are you calling me at home? Hey, I just checked the office voice mail, and your brunch meeting canceled.
Yeah, and listen, by the way, I'm not gonna be bothering you with personal calls.
I'm not that dense.
So just relax.
I'm-I'm-I'm sorry.
Thanks.
Have a good weekend.
who's calling so early? Uh, that was the office.
They canceled my meeting.
So, um, I could make breakfast.
I wouldn't have pegged you for a half-caff.
I would've assumed an extra shot.
Yeah, well, I'm- I'm working on moderation.
Really? That doesn't sound like the guy I met at the bar.
Uh, I guess rebecca didn't tell you.
No.
I'm-I'm in recovery.
I was taking pain medication for my leg, and pretty soon after, I just started taking it just to take it.
And now I've been in detox for a few weeks, and going to meetings, talking to my sponsor.
And if you want to run, I completely understand.
No, listen, I don't get scared off that easy.
I'm a pathetic loser who dates a married guy, and then gets surprised and bummed when I t dumped.
Wow, that sucks.
Yeah, well it was kind of doomed from the start, you know? I want you to know that I'm a terrible choice for a rebound guy.
I mean, not-not assuming, you know, that this is anything past coffee or no, go ahead, assume.
I just thought, you know, I shouldn't get involved while I'm getting sober.
I still have nightmares about combat.
My leg still looks pretty gnarly from my injury.
I don't have a job and I live with my mom.
- You can stop.
You're an awful choice.
- Yeah So how aboutust being, you know, my rebound caffeine buddy? Well, as long as you don't mind the half-caff.
No not at all.
And slow, slow quick, quick.
you know, it's tough to replace a quarter of the staff, - but stolarski comes highly recommended.
- He worked for phipps.
Yeah, we can't have that.
Okay, well, there's donnelly, but I hear he's a bit of a screamer.
- What-why are you stepping on my feet? - You know what? Travis' voice keeps boring into the part of my brain that is trying to keep count.
I wasn't aware you had that part.
Oh, would you shut up, travis? - Kitty, have you been practicing like I told you? - Yes.
What-what is the part that comes after back left? - Side right.
- Side right.
Well, you know what? Maybe you guys should just have the first dance together.
- What about benitez? - Yeah.
You know what?You know what? Let's just forget the whole thing.
I mean, clearly, you're busy, I'm busy, and¡ª and you're just not interested.
And-and why should you be? Kitty, come on, it's just a dance.
No, it is not just a dance.
It is a dance that you've had before for a ceremony that you've had before.
And I'm going to be wearing a used dress.
And you know what?I just thought it would be nice for us to have a dance that was ours.
But you know what?You're right.
It's just too much to ask to have a first at my own wedding.
Shut up, travis! So should we clean this up, or should we just, like, sort of let it sit and blend in with the rest of your place? Whoa, hey.
So now you're making fun of my apartment? No.
Are you kidding me? I'm having mess envy, for god sakes.
I mean, rebellion in my house is, like, leaving a crumb on the table.
no wonder you turned to drugs.
so what are your other vices, besides being kind of a slob? Uh well, coffee.
Definitely.
- Wine, clothes shopping.
- I see that.
Yes - Hang on.
- Sure.
- hey.
- Look, justin's in recovery.
I know.
Listen, can I call you back? Uh, why?Is justin there? - Oh, my god.
- Yeah.
- Um, why don't I just talk to you tomorrow? - Okay.
what was all that about, if you don't mind my asking? Lena.
I thought you were talking about justin.
No, she asked him out, mom.
She did? Yeah, and-and-and it's really not that I care.
It's just, he's not supposed to be dating anyone right now.
Ugh, wait till kitty and sarah find out.
It-it's not like they don't judge me enough already.
I really don't need them blaming me for this.
Sweetie, this is hardly your fault.
Tell that to them.
I mean, kitty is so intimidating.
Sarah is- I'm constantly paranoid that she's making these digs at me.
I keep humiliating myself.
Rebecca, stop second-guessing yourself.
It's not that easy, mom.
I know that it's not that easy.
But this shrinking violet that you're becoming that's not my daughter.
I mean, you-you never used to care what people thought about you.
You didn't worry about what you said or what you didn't say.
I admire that about you, even when you do that with me.
Do that with them.
So wait, no, you're telling me you haven't seen, uh, "blades of glory"? - Nah, not yet.
- Oh, my word.
You have to see this.
I have the dvd.
We can watch it tonight.
You know what?I-I sh-I should probably get outta here.
Okay.
I hope I didn't scare you off or anything.
No.
Are you-I'm having a great, great time.
I just-I'm worried if I stay too long that my-my sponsor will get pissed off.
And he's kind of a big dude, lot of tatts, so no, listen, I totally get that you should put your recovery first.
Okay, thanks.
You know, we'll wait for the right time.
- All right, cool.
- Cool.
Cool.
screw it.
Com mm, try the lemon scallops.
Amazing.
Mm, I prefer the orange chicken.
Oh, man, this- this duck sauce is amazing.
Can-I can really taste the peaches and the plums.
- You know, it's so - oh, I get it.
Everything that we've been eating features produce that we grow at ojai.
Very good.
Oh, and here I was, I thought I was being very subtle.
I'm just very smart.
Well, then you'll hear what I'm saying.
A billion people eat this food every day.
Don't you think it would taste a lot better coming from your orchards? Of course.
But you're not gonna charm me into a deal.
Not that you're not charming.
It's just, there's something about you.
I don't know if it's the italian suit or the fast-talk of easy money and international markets.
- Maybe it's the perfect pedigree.
- Prect pedigree? it's just all too smooth to be true.
I'm suspicious.
First of all, I wasn't born into this suit, okay? And when I walked into ojai, I was not convinced that I would close the deal.
I just thought that if you heard what I had to say, you'd see it was a sound decision, something that's good for ojai and for your family, that's it.
Look honestly, it's enticing.
But ojai can't afford that kind of risk exposure, and I can't jeopardize a company that my father built, no matter the growth potential.
So what if I told you I have a guy that could get ojai in the market access program? Government subsidies? I'd tailor your company's profile so it's exactly what they're looking for.
The U.
S.
D.
A.
Wants to increase its agricultural exports.
Why not let 'em help pay for it? Who knows?We structure this deal right, there might even be enough left over for me to take you on a private tour of beijing.
okay.
Get me more information on the program.
I'll need to see the forecasts.
If the numbers excite me, we'll talk.
hello? Hello-jason?! Oh, my god! Oh, my god, I've missed you.
No, no, I'm sorry.
No, it's just your voice.
You-well, why haven't you call me? No, god.
No, of course I know the service is spotty.
No, I'm good.
I'm good.
I just I-yeah, well, I need- I need- I need to talk to you, too.
- Cleaning or packing? - Packing.
A friend offered me her couch.
I think it'll be easier this way.
Yeah, you're right.
It would be easier.
But difficult is sometimes good, you know? It forces you to do things you didn't think you could.
Oh we can do it, kevin.
We always seem to end up doing it.
What we never seem to understand is that it gets us nowhere.
I finally spoke with jason.
Good.
I'm glad.
I I broke up with him.
kevin, why do you always have to be such a drama queen? So he didn't call you for a couple of weeks.
It's not that.
- Scotty, when I first met you, I thought we- - kevin, kevin if you're about to romanticize what we had, just I'm not.
That's the whole point.
Because what we had was- it-it was messy.
You know, we were hot and cold and back and forth, all over the place.
But I wanna be back there with you because I wanna be honest about who I am.
- Did you tell jason we slept together? - Yes, I did.
Look, I know I'm-I'm asking way too much of you.
But like I said, easy isn't all it's cracked up to be.
it's gone.
Yep.
Yep.
It's gone.
It's gone.
The "the one" is gone.
Well, at least mom won't be heartbroken.
- Well, that's true.
- You know, I think it's a shame.
I think u should wear whatever you want on your wedding day.
Oh, okay, rebecca.
Well, thank you very much.
But you know what?It'll be fine.
Hey, it's just my opinion.
yeah, well, my opinion is we need to commit.
These dresses are fine.
What about julia?Does she look good in blue? - Julia looks good in anything.
- Bitch.
All right, rebecca, let's start with you.
So-so what do you think? Honestly, I-I don't know what sisters say in these situations.
But the only way that I am ever gonna be able to be myself around you two is if I stop filtering everything.
So to answer your question, kitty- no.
No, I-I-I don't like this color on me and I-I don't like it on sarah.
If you really wanna know the dress that I would pick, it would oh, my god.
Well, r-rebecca, don't stop now.
No, you're on a roll.
Kitty, the one! - it's on sale.
- Oh, my gosh! Oh, my god, rebecca.
Rebecca, do you really think I should wear what I want? I do.
Do you wanna wear this dress? I do.
I swear I didn't go out looking for it.
It-it was just there.
- And-and then it went on sale and I just-it was- - it was on sale? I was-I was just feeling like my whole wedding was being recycled.
And I-I just needed my something new.
And-but please, mom, please don't be angry.
Honey, I'm not angry.
It's fine.
You don't have to wear my- - a good fine or is it passive-aggressive fine? - Sweetheart, I offered my dress to you as an option.
- I know, but when you found me in it the other day, you practically started weeping.
- Oh, I did not.
- You were very emotional.
- Well, honey, you're getting married.
- You were like, "ahh!" - And I came in, and you had my dress on.
- It brought back memories.
- Well, but still, yeah.
- I know, but still.
- Listen to me.
This is your wedding, your memories to create.
Make your own choices, your own history.
You don't have to relive mine.
I can't believe that you're being this cool.
I mean, it's not that I thought that you would be uncool, but I just-I well, thanks.
It's beautiful.
Thank you, mom.
Thank you.
It's beautiful, honey.
It's beautiful.
Thanks, moM.
- Kitty? - Yeah? - you know what I did? - No.
What did you do? I went out to dinner with stan harris.
stan harris.
Uh, my "pretty woman" stan harris.
oh, my god.
How was it? Yeah.
It was fine.
G-good.
If it's all right with you, I, uh I invited him to your wedding.
Is that all right? Uh, yeah.
Of course.
Are you kidding? It's great.
Uh, sorry.
uh, honey, honey, just hold on one second.
Mom, wait, mom.
- Yeah.
- we're gonna have to find you a very hot dress.
I think I have an idea.
You're going to dye this? Something bold.
Midnight blue, maybe.
But this dress is a classic.
I know.
I love it.
It's my history, and I'm going to keep it.
Maybe it's time to hike up the hemline a little.
- Okay.
- Okay.
here we go.
oh, hey.
I didn't think you'd still be here by now.
I figured you would've gone home to your family.
Yeah, I was just catching up on some paperwork.
Uh, so you're- you're going out? Yeah.
got a date.
Uh you're seeing somebody happened a few days ago.
And don't worry, I wasn't cheating.
- No, I wasn'T - tommy, I was joking.
Right.
Have a good night, tommy.
this is way too g for a fund-raiser.
I mean, there aren't even that many republicans in L.
A.
It's beautiful, isn't it? Oh, wait.
No, no, no.
No, wait.
We have to-they're- they're rehearsing.
- Oh, come on, let's listen.
- No, no, no, no.
- We're late.
We gotta go.
- Come on.
- This is - excuse me, guys? Do you take requests? Hello, senator.
that lyle lovett? What are you doing? No, what did-what- what did you do? Why-why do I feel like you're getting ready to propose to me? We already did that.
I i already did that.
I know that I haven't been able to focus on the wedding.
And I know that you think it's because I've done this before.
And yeah, we haven't been able to pick out our song.
But, you know, kitty, any song that's even remotely romantic reminds me of us.
You make everything new.
would you like to dance? You're insane.
No, absolutely insane.
I cannot believe you.
it's sunday morng the club is on that great cat's still yawning - because saturday is gone - just for the record, - this is a first for me, too.
- I still feel the feeling of how you felt upon me and it may be no big deal to you but it's a very big deal to me she said, man, it may be no big deal to you but it's a very big deal to me
I wanted to talk to you about joe and the kiss.
Oh, please.
We are so past that.
I may have led him on a little bit.
did you, uh, tell jason about you and scotty's little "slumber party"? No, actually.
You are beyond pathetic.
You spend so much time trying to get somebody to love you that you can't help anybody.
That's enough.
I can't do this to my family.
I'm sorry if I hurt you.
Can you just go? I don't wanto wait to get married.
I want to get married now.
"From this moment, " "a moment like this, " "because you loved me.
" "Because you loved me"? Now how is that a good wedding song? It's past tense.
And perfect for my marriage.
Shouldn't your fiance be doing this? Well, I guess the second time around, it sort of loses its allure.
Yeah, it's like going through the steps again.
Speaking of which, I need to apologize to rebecca.
Yeah, she probably hates you.
Oh, no, no, no.
No one expects you to be warm and fuzzy at your own intervention.
Who wants a cookie? Mom, how's it going looking for a dress? It's so depressing.
Every single mother of the bride dress is beige or bedazzled, with all these necks and sleeves and jackets and things.
You get to be a certain age, and they-they try to desex you.
I mean, I might as well be dressed in beige paper and headed off towards the recycling bin.
- How about ol' blue eyes? - That's a good idea.
No, no, we can't, we can't because robert's first wedding was practically sinatra-themed.
What about that beautiful song by the dixie chicks? At a republican candidate's wedding? Well, if you rule out every democrat, you're basically left with ted nugent, lynyrd skynyrd and zz top.
Well, I'm a democrat, and I lost my virginity to "she's got legs.
" - Oh, god! - Crossing a le, sarah.
Mine was the "dirty dancing" theme.
No! Be gayer.
I bet kitty's was talk radio.
hey.
Justin? Don't look at me.
I'm not having this conversation in front of mom.
- come on.
- Oh, please.
Uh, uh, pink floyd's "the wall, " gabby kleiner, the tenth grade.
Are you you-you heard that? thanks.
I have two first-sex soundtracks, girl and guy.
Okay, now stop.
Stop, you guys, please.
You're ruining all music for me.
Sorry I'm late.
What's up, buddy? Robert, what song did you lose your virginity to? Mom.
Well, we're just trying to figure out our wedding song.
Interesting methodology.
Um, "endless love.
" yeah, okay.
Um, bad news.
I spoke to jason, and he can't come to the wedding.
You spoke with jason? Yeah, uh, briefly.
And then the other day, we got completely cut off.
The other day? I haven't spoken to him in weeks, and he's called you twice? He was gonna be my best man.
Oh, well-well, the next time you two chat, maybe you could tell him his committed, monogamous, yet highly sought after boyfriend says hi.
So does everybody know that kitty has us scheduled for dance lessons? Ballroom dancing? Kitty, pleasE.
Come on, tommy.
I'm not that bad.
I've got it.
I've got it- "pretty woman.
" No, thanks, mom, but that will make me come off a little conceited.
No, no, no.
I mean, that was my first time song.
I can't believe I remember that.
Mom, we don't need to picture you and dad.
Who said anything about dad? - What?! - mom! - wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
I thought dad was your first.
- No.
- I thought dad swept you off your feet when you were barely 18.
- No.
Mom, you sluT.
it was the '60s.
It was this- this guy I'd known in high school-stan harris.
he got drafted and-and went off to canada.
- It was in the backseat of his dad's cutlass - oh, my god.
- and he was tall, and I was short- - I gotta go.
- I'm gonna make more popcorn.
- thank you.
I'm- Fine.
Fine.
So what, I-I guess I've just never had sex before? that doesn't look safe.
- It lowers your blood pressure.
- Yep? So does a glass of wine with far less risk of paralysis.
Why aren't you working? I'm on days.
We could go back to writing notes if actual conversation is too weird.
Oh, sorry.
No messages.
of course not.
Do you wanna be my date for kitty's wedding? Oh, how appealing.
A spite invite? No.
Yes.
A-a little.
You know going to a wedding alone is torture.
What about jason? Reverend "god forbid I call you back" won't be there.
Yeah, but his brother robert will.
What will he think? Who cares? Miatello's is catering.
They're serving those little gorgonzola and potato pizzas with saffron and sage.
You had me at "gorgonzola.
" Thought so.
kitty.
Hi.
Hi.
Um, I'm sorry.
I- I hope I didn't wake you up.
No, no, I've been up for a while.
Um, well, do you wanna come in? Sure.
Yeah, c-come in.
Um, is justin okay? - Yeah, actually, you know, he's-he's doing much better.
- Oh, good.
And you know what? Thank you, by the way, for letting everybody know what was going on.
And I-I know he-he said some really awful things to you.
No, he said awful things to everyone, so actually, he did.
But, you know, it's just if it hadn't been for you, we wouldn't have been able to help him and so anyway, the reason that I'm here is that¡ª and there's no pressure, and you can definitely say no if you feel uncomfortable¡ª but I just wondered if maybe by any chance you would want to be one of my bridesmaids? Oh, my god.
Well, I-I dn't even know if I'd be invited to the wedding.
Are you crazy? Well, of course.
Of course you're invited to the wedding.
You're my-you're my sister.
Well, is sa-is sarah okay with it? - I mean - yeah.
You know, who-who cares? She'll-she'll be fine.
Yes? No? Maybe? - You can think about it if you want.
-Yeah, I-I'd love to.
- Really? - Yeah.
That's great.
Should we hug? Sure.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Graham has quite a reputation for growing midsized companies.
Well, graham, reputation aside, ojai's not looking to re any outside consultants at this time.
Right.
Well, that's usually the first response.
Saul tells me that you wanna branch out into the organic market? Yes, that's something that we've been considering.
Let me give you some free advice-don'T.
Every other vendor's already noticed that trend, so, uh, you're a little behind the curve there.
And frankly, sarah, overhauling our farming practices would cost a hell of a lot more than hiring a private consultant.
Graham has some ideas about the international market.
Well, that's right.
Uh, namely, china.
It's a booming economy, it's an expanding middle class¡ª I've read all the same journals that you have.
Well, actually, I just came back from there.
Have you been? No, I haven'T.
Well, you gotta go.
The upscale markets in shanghai just can't handle the demand.
Just the word "california" transforms the everyday grape into, uh, a, uh, luxury item.
Well, just the word "china, " for me, conjures up a logistical nightmare.
And ojai doesn't have the human resources to overcome international licensing, tariffs¡ª yeah, well, that's just what I do.
I mean, I can help you navigate that whole thing.
Exactly, and thewe create a special division of ojai to handle foreign sales.
Leave your proposal.
I'll call you if I have any questions.
Okay, well, thanks for your time, sarah.
Great to meet you.
Thanks for the free advice.
I'll be in touch.
Okay, great, I will fax you a price list.
Bye.
Hey.
how you doing? I have been fielding phone calls all morning.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we hire lena to do that? Oh, she's probably running late.
Is she, or are you guys doing that thing you do where she comes five minutes after you so that I don't know that the two of you¡ª no, no, no, I, uh, I ended things with her.
Should we be looking for a new office manager? Sorry.
I stopped for pastries.
Tommy, I got your favorite.
Bear claws.
walker landing.
Yeah, he's right here.
It's your wife.
Julia, hey.
What's up? Elizabeth wanted to talk to her daddy.
Yeah.
Put her on.
hey, honey.
hi.
Oh, my god.
I was gonna call yesterday, but I thought a surprise would be surprising.
Wow, it's so good to see you.
Yeah, you, too.
And her.
Oh, my god.
She's so big! Hi! Welcome home, julia.
- She's incredible.
- Thanks.
- The place looks so good.
- Thanks.
uh, this is lena, our office manager.
Oh, of course.
Hi.
It's nice to put a face to the voice.
Yeah.
All right, well, I'm gonna leave for the day and get them settled.
Take as much time as you need.
- Thanks, holly.
- sure.
all right, let's go.
Okay.
By it was nice to meet you, lena.
You, too.
I'll, um, I'll-I'll check in later.
you still wa the job? You might want to rethink the work wardrobe.
proudly presents Sisters Season 02 Episode 08 Saul, do you remember stan harris? Of course I remember him.
Mother was convinced that he was gonna ruin you.
That's because I told her we were gonna travel around the country in his volkswagen bus and join a commune.
- I googled him.
- You what? Get this-he's history teacher at canyon falls high.
He's single.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Back up.
Since when does google tell you what someone's marital status is? I e-mailed him.
I couldn't help myself.
I might've been this whole other person if he hadn't gone to canada.
He lives 15 minutes away.
Can you believe it? You know what? He asked me out to dinner.
That's impressive.
I shouldn't go, not in a million years.
We'll have nothing to talk about.
What if he looks old? What if he thinks i look old? Oh, nora, come on.
You don't look that old.
Well, then again, what have I got to lose? I mean, there's history there.
What if that same old spark still exists? It could still exist.
You know that.
I know that? - What are you doing, nora? - What? I told you that I didn't want to talk about this, that I needed time to talk about this.
You want me to get in touch with the guy that I told you about? Is that it? Is that why you're mentioning stan harris, nora? No, I brought up stan because I wanted to talk to you about stan.
Yeah, right.
Look, don't get me wrong.
I do think we have to talk about this.
I mean, you can't tell me that you were in love with a man once and then we never discuss it again.
We have to talk about it eventually.
You know what, nora? I gotta go.
Well, saul, ould I- should I go Oh, well, you know, they're- they're just showing off, right? I can tell you, we're not gonna be doing anything like that.
Wow, that-that was- that was really, really good.
That was amazing, and-and thank you, but I don't think that we're gonna be needing anything don't worry about it, senator.
We'll adjust the steps to your song.
Well, you know what? We don't even really have a-a song yet.
We-we just wanna learn a couple of steps so we don't look like complete morons at our-our wedding.
Exactly.
Okay.
Whatever you wish.
Martena, just play a slow fox-trot, please.
just watch it once.
It's slow, slow, quick, quick.
Let's try it all in one line, starting with the left foot.
And slow- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Um, so it's-so it's- so it's left, right and then- - and then which-which side? - no, no, for you, kitty, it's the opposite.
See, you go right, left, side, together.
Hello? So-oh, it's opp-oh, I didn't-nobody told me that.
No problem.
That's what we're here for.
Okay, okay, um, let's see.
So it's right left.
and then to the side.
- Good.
That's good, but to the other side.
- The other side.
That was the majority leader.
Yeah, well, you're in the minority party, so you can call him back.
All right, let's try it facing each other.
Okay.

Huh? Head up, please.
Slow, slow, quick, quick.
Senator, you're a natural.
Thank you.
Kitty, please stopeading.
Oh, sorry.
I'm sorry.
You know, it's just-it's-it's in my nature, but I'm trying.
Okay, and this is gonna take a long time, isn't it? You know what? He just gave us the steps, like, three seconds ago.
They're two votes down on S.
R.
7550.
Don't you think I should spend some time on that? You know what? You never told me you could dance.
You know, inaugurals, state dinners and first weddings.
Right.
I get it.
I think I have the steps in order.
You should stay, rehearse.
Reschedule.
I'll make the time.

I appreciate it, but I've gotta go.
Okay, kitty.
Let's dance.

Hey.
Sorry about the mess.
If I would've known you were coming, I would've cleaned uP.
that's okay.
Yeah, I guess I, uh, I reverted.
You're allowed.
I'm sorry I was gone so long.
You had a lot to sort out.
I just-I wish I could take back so many things that I said.
I know.
Me, too.
Can we go back to the way things were? I want to, so bad.
You have no idea.
I come with decadence.
What happened? Did you rob the long beach aquarium? We had a chichi 6-year-oldirthday party at the restaant- "little mermaid" theme.
Turns out the kids couldn't bear to eat sebastian.
The mermaid's best friend? - Anyhow, their drama, our dinner.
- Great.
Uh, would sebastian like a little melted butter on the side? I don't know, but I would.
Marvelous.
Light some candles.
I'll be right back.
Oh, candles? I mean, it's just takeout, when you think of it.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, sure, no candles.
Uh.
.
well, we can still have champagne, right? Sure.
- Hey, sarah.
- Hey.
Is-is kitty here? Oh, she'll be down in a minute.
So are-are you the maid of honor? Well, I'm certainly not the matron of honor.
I'm-I'm sorry.
Okay.
Well? Well, what do you think? - Gorgeous.
- Really? Yeah, it's-it's got this great '60s vibe to it.
I mean- that's because it's from the '60s.
well, is it too '60s? No.
No, I think it's classic.
No, no, what I meant by that is it's very jackie O.
I don't know if that's the look I'm going for on my wedding day.
I mean, that's not even the right political party.
Oh, I'm just gonna stop talking.
- oh, you look gorgeous.
- Really? Just gorgeous, really.
Speaking of gorgeous mom, where are you going? Well, yeah? Oh, just, um, dinner with a friend.
Honey, this is so exciting.
- We'll take you tomorrow to the alterations person - okay.

It's exciting.
I have to go.
It's so exciting.
Have fun.
Let's seE.

Can't beat that.
Is that mom's dress? Yeah, it's- it's great right? Yeah.
Looks good.
Can I, uh, can i steal rebecca for a second? Look, justin, I know what you're doing, and I just want you know that- that it's fine.
I'm fine.
Look, it's not fin okay? I- I feel horrible about what I said.
It was hurtful and it was mean.
And some of it was true.

You are not pathetic.
I'm pathetic, okay? If it weren't for you, I-I wouldn't be getting clea I'm just happy you're getting the help that you need, you know? I want you to know how important you are to me and how deeply, deeply sorry I am.
wow, you're really good at this whole making amends thing, aren't you? I've had some practice.
I- oh, excuse me.
hello? Uh, yeah.
How are you? Sure.
Yeah.
That, uh, that sounds great.
I'll see you there.
All right, bye.
that was your friend lena.
What did-what'd she want? I don't know.
She just asked me out for coffee.
hi, I'm-I'm looking for someone.
Right in here.
Stan? Nora! - hi.
I'm sorry I'm late.
- No, no, no.
- no? - Ah, ten minutes.
Oh, traffic in this city is absolutely impossible.
You can't get anywhere, ever.
If you're invited to go someplace between the hours of 5:00 and 7:00, I have to tell them, no, I'm sorry.
You can't get there from here.
You just can'T.
.
I'm here.
you look beautiful.
Yeah, well, don't look to close.
My neck looks like someone's bedroom curtains.
Hey, listen, I-I gained 20 pounds and I've got a artificial hip.
- Really? - No.
Kidding.
I'm sorry, nora.
I- I'm a little bit nervous.
I'm nervous, too.
I can't believe you e-mailed me.
Did I do that? you did.
I where do we even start? Um how about a pitcher of margaritas? Yes.
- We're at this immigration rally.
- Right.
Ah, you know, all my kids.
I mean, my class.
There's this one-alonzo.
He's really smart, but he's, uh, you know, a little unfocused.
And I'm watching him.
And I'm seeing that he-he's a little bit affected by this, maybe a lot.
And I'm thinking, "this is why I do this.
" He's starting to think.
He-he wants to demand his right to be heard, you know? - And just at that moment - yeah? - He gets on the stage - yeah? - Drops his pants and moons the governor.
- oh, no! - Yeah.
- oh, no! I didn't want him to feel humiliated, so I get up and I join him.
oh, god! That's horrible! what happened? Well, you know, I spent a night in detention, paid a fine.
Alonzo, I think, is running for president of the school now.
Well, good for him.
I- I spent a night in jail.
well, I got caught smoking a joint with my girlfriend in her car- emily craft.
Crafty? Hey, you never- you never liked grass.
Oh, when did you pick up that habit? Never.
Are you kidding? Since last you saw me, all i've been doing is raising kids and being married to a republican, so yeah, I knew that.
So you never got married? No, I-I-I, you know, I came close a couple of times, but I don't think I ever really found the right person.
Yeah, the right person.
what are you doing tomorrow night? I'm sorry.
I know you've got plans, it's too soon.
I'm-I'm just no, no.
My goodness, at this age, almost nothing is too soon.
Yes, let'S let's do it.
Let's go out.
Good, 'cause I couldn't stand to wait another 40 years kevin.
kevin.
Go to bed.
Actually, could you take your foot out? - It's digging right into- - sorry.
I should go to my air mattress.
yeah, you should.
I really like th on you.
Come on, I look like a giant tangerine.
uh, I gotta take that.
I'm working.
I'm gonna get a couple more drses.
sarah walker.
Hey, it's graham finch.
Listen, I-I've been thinking about our meeting.
I hope I didn't come on too strong.
Bulldozer isn't your normal speed? Well, that's me.
You know, I'm aggressive.
I see something I want, I go for it.
That's why you want me.
- Oh, now I want you? - Figure of speech.
So what are you doing tonight?You wanna have some dinner? Uh, I have plans.
Well, then how about tomorrow night? Listen, just give me an hour, and if I can't convince you, uh, you'll never see me again.
What do you say? - Okay, tomorrow night it is.
- Great.
See you then.
- oh, don't you like that? - It's a pretty color, I guess.
what do you think of this one? Oh, wow, I-that color is so much better.
- really? - Oh, totally.
Now how come you're not bringing anybody to the wedding? Oh, you know, it's been a bit of a dry spell lately.
Dry spell?That doesn't sound like you.
What does that mean? Just that when I think of you, I don't think of "dry spell.
" You know, I do know a couple of really cute guys in my office.
Do you have type? No, I don't really have a type.
Except for married men, right, sarah? That's what you were gonna say? - No.
No, she wasn'T.
- I would never say that.
Hmm, well, there goes that foot in my mouth again.
It's not that I don't think about it occasionally.
It's just that I've long stopped obsessing about you, joe and my divorce.
What I am obsessed about is kitty, her wedding and which dress she's gonna force me to wear.
Right, kit? This is it.
This is the one.
oh! oh, my god.
Can you believe it? - It's perfect.
- it's perfect.
what about mom's dress? Oh, well, no.
No, I mean, it would be the one if I didn't already have the one.
- Oh, you're right.
- But oh, my god.
- Just try it on.
- No, no, I can'T.
I can'T.
It would be cheating.
I shouldn't even be looking at it.
Oh, come on.
Looking's not cheating is it, rebecca? Oh, my god.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You going to the gym? Yeah, have to.
Working in the kitchen demands it, or you end up, you know, with- I know, with love handles like me.
I think we've already established I have no problems with your body.
Nor I yours.
- Look, about last night - you don't have to say anything.
I know what happened.
You were vulnerable.
Your boyfriend's a million miles away, and I was a warm body after lobster dinner.
Add champagne and voila - mistake sex.
- What if it wasn't a mistake? Kevin, you don't have to make me feel better by turning yesterday's nostalgic sex romp into something that it wasn'T.
I'm not.
Believe me, I'm not.
Yes, of course I miss him.
You know, why wouldn't I? He's not calling me.
But it's like what we had, he's put into this compartment, and now he's gone back to his first love, which is god or the church or-or something.
I don't know.
- But it's certainly not me.
- You don't know that.
When people are far away- look, I know how I feel, so just let me feel that way.
It hurts.
Hey.
It'll be all right.
I promise.
I'm not so sure.
what is this? We go on a lovely picnic at the beach, and then you bring me out here for what, a gang initiation? Take a closer look.
All right.
Oh, it's jones hall.
we saw dylan here.
yeah.
Oh, my god.
Yeah, the memory of that night has gotten me through a lot of cold winters in toronto.
it was my first time, you know.
it was our first time.
I lied.
I didn't want you to think I didn't know what I was doing.
oh, stan, I was so madly in love with you.
Why did you leave? You ran off to canada.
You left everything- your family, your friends, me.
I- I wasn't enough for you.
What are you talking about? you love the fight you can't win.
But you already had me.
I mean, even then I knew I wasn't a challenge.
I wasn't looking for a challenge.
- Weren't you? - No.
You married a rich republican, somebody you can always argue with.
We're different.
I mean, I-I don't like the fight.
I'm committed to the cause.
stan will you come see my life, meet my kids? Will you come with me to my daughter's wedding? I'd be honored.
Will your mother be there? um, yeah.
oh, boy.
oh, god, I love this song, still.
so do I.
why are you calling me at home? Hey, I just checked the office voice mail, and your brunch meeting canceled.
Yeah, and listen, by the way, I'm not gonna be bothering you with personal calls.
I'm not that dense.
So just relax.
I'm-I'm-I'm sorry.
Thanks.
Have a good weekend.
who's calling so early? Uh, that was the office.
They canceled my meeting.
So, um, I could make breakfast.
I wouldn't have pegged you for a half-caff.
I would've assumed an extra shot.
Yeah, well, I'm- I'm working on moderation.
Really? That doesn't sound like the guy I met at the bar.
Uh, I guess rebecca didn't tell you.
No.
I'm-I'm in recovery.
I was taking pain medication for my leg, and pretty soon after, I just started taking it just to take it.
And now I've been in detox for a few weeks, and going to meetings, talking to my sponsor.
And if you want to run, I completely understand.
No, listen, I don't get scared off that easy.
I'm a pathetic loser who dates a married guy, and then gets surprised and bummed when I t dumped.
Wow, that sucks.
Yeah, well it was kind of doomed from the start, you know? I want you to know that I'm a terrible choice for a rebound guy.
I mean, not-not assuming, you know, that this is anything past coffee or no, go ahead, assume.
I just thought, you know, I shouldn't get involved while I'm getting sober.
I still have nightmares about combat.
My leg still looks pretty gnarly from my injury.
I don't have a job and I live with my mom.
- You can stop.
You're an awful choice.
- Yeah So how aboutust being, you know, my rebound caffeine buddy? Well, as long as you don't mind the half-caff.
No not at all.
And slow, slow quick, quick.
you know, it's tough to replace a quarter of the staff, - but stolarski comes highly recommended.
- He worked for phipps.
Yeah, we can't have that.
Okay, well, there's donnelly, but I hear he's a bit of a screamer.
- What-why are you stepping on my feet? - You know what? Travis' voice keeps boring into the part of my brain that is trying to keep count.
I wasn't aware you had that part.
Oh, would you shut up, travis? - Kitty, have you been practicing like I told you? - Yes.
What-what is the part that comes after back left? - Side right.
- Side right.
Well, you know what? Maybe you guys should just have the first dance together.
- What about benitez? - Yeah.
You know what?You know what? Let's just forget the whole thing.
I mean, clearly, you're busy, I'm busy, and¡ª and you're just not interested.
And-and why should you be? Kitty, come on, it's just a dance.
No, it is not just a dance.
It is a dance that you've had before for a ceremony that you've had before.
And I'm going to be wearing a used dress.
And you know what?I just thought it would be nice for us to have a dance that was ours.
But you know what?You're right.
It's just too much to ask to have a first at my own wedding.
Shut up, travis! So should we clean this up, or should we just, like, sort of let it sit and blend in with the rest of your place? Whoa, hey.
So now you're making fun of my apartment? No.
Are you kidding me? I'm having mess envy, for god sakes.
I mean, rebellion in my house is, like, leaving a crumb on the table.
no wonder you turned to drugs.
so what are your other vices, besides being kind of a slob? Uh well, coffee.
Definitely.
- Wine, clothes shopping.
- I see that.
Yes - Hang on.
- Sure.
- hey.
- Look, justin's in recovery.
I know.
Listen, can I call you back? Uh, why?Is justin there? - Oh, my god.
- Yeah.
- Um, why don't I just talk to you tomorrow? - Okay.
what was all that about, if you don't mind my asking? Lena.
I thought you were talking about justin.
No, she asked him out, mom.
She did? Yeah, and-and-and it's really not that I care.
It's just, he's not supposed to be dating anyone right now.
Ugh, wait till kitty and sarah find out.
It-it's not like they don't judge me enough already.
I really don't need them blaming me for this.
Sweetie, this is hardly your fault.
Tell that to them.
I mean, kitty is so intimidating.
Sarah is- I'm constantly paranoid that she's making these digs at me.
I keep humiliating myself.
Rebecca, stop second-guessing yourself.
It's not that easy, mom.
I know that it's not that easy.
But this shrinking violet that you're becoming that's not my daughter.
I mean, you-you never used to care what people thought about you.
You didn't worry about what you said or what you didn't say.
I admire that about you, even when you do that with me.
Do that with them.
So wait, no, you're telling me you haven't seen, uh, "blades of glory"? - Nah, not yet.
- Oh, my word.
You have to see this.
I have the dvd.
We can watch it tonight.
You know what?I-I sh-I should probably get outta here.
Okay.
I hope I didn't scare you off or anything.
No.
Are you-I'm having a great, great time.
I just-I'm worried if I stay too long that my-my sponsor will get pissed off.
And he's kind of a big dude, lot of tatts, so no, listen, I totally get that you should put your recovery first.
Okay, thanks.
You know, we'll wait for the right time.
- All right, cool.
- Cool.
Cool.
screw it.
Com mm, try the lemon scallops.
Amazing.
Mm, I prefer the orange chicken.
Oh, man, this- this duck sauce is amazing.
Can-I can really taste the peaches and the plums.
- You know, it's so - oh, I get it.
Everything that we've been eating features produce that we grow at ojai.
Very good.
Oh, and here I was, I thought I was being very subtle.
I'm just very smart.
Well, then you'll hear what I'm saying.
A billion people eat this food every day.
Don't you think it would taste a lot better coming from your orchards? Of course.
But you're not gonna charm me into a deal.
Not that you're not charming.
It's just, there's something about you.
I don't know if it's the italian suit or the fast-talk of easy money and international markets.
- Maybe it's the perfect pedigree.
- Prect pedigree? it's just all too smooth to be true.
I'm suspicious.
First of all, I wasn't born into this suit, okay? And when I walked into ojai, I was not convinced that I would close the deal.
I just thought that if you heard what I had to say, you'd see it was a sound decision, something that's good for ojai and for your family, that's it.
Look honestly, it's enticing.
But ojai can't afford that kind of risk exposure, and I can't jeopardize a company that my father built, no matter the growth potential.
So what if I told you I have a guy that could get ojai in the market access program? Government subsidies? I'd tailor your company's profile so it's exactly what they're looking for.
The U.
S.
D.
A.
Wants to increase its agricultural exports.
Why not let 'em help pay for it? Who knows?We structure this deal right, there might even be enough left over for me to take you on a private tour of beijing.
okay.
Get me more information on the program.
I'll need to see the forecasts.
If the numbers excite me, we'll talk.
hello? Hello-jason?! Oh, my god! Oh, my god, I've missed you.
No, no, I'm sorry.
No, it's just your voice.
You-well, why haven't you call me? No, god.
No, of course I know the service is spotty.
No, I'm good.
I'm good.
I just I-yeah, well, I need- I need- I need to talk to you, too.
- Cleaning or packing? - Packing.
A friend offered me her couch.
I think it'll be easier this way.
Yeah, you're right.
It would be easier.
But difficult is sometimes good, you know? It forces you to do things you didn't think you could.
Oh we can do it, kevin.
We always seem to end up doing it.
What we never seem to understand is that it gets us nowhere.
I finally spoke with jason.
Good.
I'm glad.
I I broke up with him.
kevin, why do you always have to be such a drama queen? So he didn't call you for a couple of weeks.
It's not that.
- Scotty, when I first met you, I thought we- - kevin, kevin if you're about to romanticize what we had, just I'm not.
That's the whole point.
Because what we had was- it-it was messy.
You know, we were hot and cold and back and forth, all over the place.
But I wanna be back there with you because I wanna be honest about who I am.
- Did you tell jason we slept together? - Yes, I did.
Look, I know I'm-I'm asking way too much of you.
But like I said, easy isn't all it's cracked up to be.
it's gone.
Yep.
Yep.
It's gone.
It's gone.
The "the one" is gone.
Well, at least mom won't be heartbroken.
- Well, that's true.
- You know, I think it's a shame.
I think u should wear whatever you want on your wedding day.
Oh, okay, rebecca.
Well, thank you very much.
But you know what?It'll be fine.
Hey, it's just my opinion.
yeah, well, my opinion is we need to commit.
These dresses are fine.
What about julia?Does she look good in blue? - Julia looks good in anything.
- Bitch.
All right, rebecca, let's start with you.
So-so what do you think? Honestly, I-I don't know what sisters say in these situations.
But the only way that I am ever gonna be able to be myself around you two is if I stop filtering everything.
So to answer your question, kitty- no.
No, I-I-I don't like this color on me and I-I don't like it on sarah.
If you really wanna know the dress that I would pick, it would oh, my god.
Well, r-rebecca, don't stop now.
No, you're on a roll.
Kitty, the one! - it's on sale.
- Oh, my gosh! Oh, my god, rebecca.
Rebecca, do you really think I should wear what I want? I do.
Do you wanna wear this dress? I do.
I swear I didn't go out looking for it.
It-it was just there.
- And-and then it went on sale and I just-it was- - it was on sale? I was-I was just feeling like my whole wedding was being recycled.
And I-I just needed my something new.
And-but please, mom, please don't be angry.
Honey, I'm not angry.
It's fine.
You don't have to wear my- - a good fine or is it passive-aggressive fine? - Sweetheart, I offered my dress to you as an option.
- I know, but when you found me in it the other day, you practically started weeping.
- Oh, I did not.
- You were very emotional.
- Well, honey, you're getting married.
- You were like, "ahh!" - And I came in, and you had my dress on.
- It brought back memories.
- Well, but still, yeah.
- I know, but still.
- Listen to me.
This is your wedding, your memories to create.
Make your own choices, your own history.
You don't have to relive mine.
I can't believe that you're being this cool.
I mean, it's not that I thought that you would be uncool, but I just-I well, thanks.
It's beautiful.
Thank you, mom.
Thank you.
It's beautiful, honey.
It's beautiful.
Thanks, moM.
- Kitty? - Yeah? - you know what I did? - No.
What did you do? I went out to dinner with stan harris.
stan harris.
Uh, my "pretty woman" stan harris.
oh, my god.
How was it? Yeah.
It was fine.
G-good.
If it's all right with you, I, uh I invited him to your wedding.
Is that all right? Uh, yeah.
Of course.
Are you kidding? It's great.
Uh, sorry.
uh, honey, honey, just hold on one second.
Mom, wait, mom.
- Yeah.
- we're gonna have to find you a very hot dress.
I think I have an idea.
You're going to dye this? Something bold.
Midnight blue, maybe.
But this dress is a classic.
I know.
I love it.
It's my history, and I'm going to keep it.
Maybe it's time to hike up the hemline a little.
- Okay.
- Okay.
here we go.
oh, hey.
I didn't think you'd still be here by now.
I figured you would've gone home to your family.
Yeah, I was just catching up on some paperwork.
Uh, so you're- you're going out? Yeah.
got a date.
Uh you're seeing somebody happened a few days ago.
And don't worry, I wasn't cheating.
- No, I wasn'T - tommy, I was joking.
Right.
Have a good night, tommy.
this is way too g for a fund-raiser.
I mean, there aren't even that many republicans in L.
A.
It's beautiful, isn't it? Oh, wait.
No, no, no.
No, wait.
We have to-they're- they're rehearsing.
- Oh, come on, let's listen.
- No, no, no, no.
- We're late.
We gotta go.
- Come on.
- This is - excuse me, guys? Do you take requests? Hello, senator.
that lyle lovett? What are you doing? No, what did-what- what did you do? Why-why do I feel like you're getting ready to propose to me? We already did that.
I i already did that.
I know that I haven't been able to focus on the wedding.
And I know that you think it's because I've done this before.
And yeah, we haven't been able to pick out our song.
But, you know, kitty, any song that's even remotely romantic reminds me of us.
You make everything new.
would you like to dance? You're insane.
No, absolutely insane.
I cannot believe you.
it's sunday morng the club is on that great cat's still yawning - because saturday is gone - just for the record, - this is a first for me, too.
- I still feel the feeling of how you felt upon me and it may be no big deal to you but it's a very big deal to me she said, man, it may be no big deal to you but it's a very big deal to me
