[cat meows.]
Sophie, come here, kitty.
Come on, kitty.
Come on, come on.
Stay.
Hi.
How long do we have this time? Only 45 minutes.
Who'd you tell her I was? You are the owner of a highly successful dry cleaning establishment.
- You had to have lunch with me.
- Why? You're being brought up on charges by the federal government.
Too much starch? Not enough taxes.
Who am I? You're just a sandwich I'm grabbing.
Mm.
Are you hungry? I'm starving.
Hey, let's do lunch.
Let's be lunch.
Oh, boy.
Okay.
Oh, God.
It's bad? Is it bad? Don't even ask.
Oh, God.
All right, I'll just say What am I going to say? - This is the truly depressing part.
- I got it.
I'll just say that there was an accident, and I wasn't in the accident, but I was in the car directly behind the accident, so therefore, I had to stay for questioning, extensive questioning, and they didn't have a public phone.
I want to show you something here.
Oh, come on, where the hell is that? I know I brought it.
Wait till you see these.
I know I brought them.
Look at this.
Look.
Look at this.
- I got a whole bunch of these.
- What are these? Well, that's me, see? Look at that.
That's me, and that's Lucy there, and that's Christie over by the book case.
The angle's not really She turned away at the last second.
- You have a dog? - Yeah.
That's Luce.
We usually don't allow her on the couch, but, you know Oh What is it? What? Is something the matter? I love you so much, and I've never met your dog.
I've never even seen what books you have in your bookcase.
Well, I'm not even much of a reader.
Most of them are Valerie's.
I got to go to work.
I got a report to write.
Wait a minute.
Wait.
- Wait a second.
- Where are my shoes? Where are my shoes? Ellyn, wait.
You told me you'd tell her.
I know.
- You said it five weeks ago.
- I know.
God, I must be the stupidest person in the world.
I can't believe I believed you.
I must be insane.
I'll tell her today.
I mean it.
So you'll call me as soon as you tell her? I may be too upset.
I'll see how I feel.
See how you feel.
Right.
Jeffrey, you've got to call.
Promise you'll call.
I will call, okay? Look, everything is going to be just fine.
I know.
I know.
Just think, we can go to the movies.
Yeah.
Kiss in the street.
We can actually have lunch together.
I mean lunch, the meal.
I'll find an apartment.
- I have an apartment.
- Oh, no.
Ellyn, no.
Christie and I, we can't move into your apartment.
Oh, I know.
I was just Ellyn, look, it's going to be fine.
I know.
It's going to be wonderful.
I know.
We have to go.
Come on.
We're late, honey.
Come on.
So who am I kidding, right? They never wind up with the women they leave their wives for.
Didn't I read that in Letters from Women Who Love to Hate Men Too Much? Well, at least we won't be sneaking around anymore.
I know what you're thinking.
I admit, it was kind of a thrill at first, the danger of it.
But [sighs.]
And it's really complicated.
I mean, he's got this whole life.
He's got this dog.
But when you really want something Isn't there also a daughter? Yeah, and that's a big mess.
The real mother's in Saudi Arabia for some reason, and the stepmother's [scoffs.]
kind of got call waiting where her heart should be.
Oh, look, I know it's doomed.
I just can't turn back.
Do you think that I could possibly come maybe twice a week? Okay, so not to be morbid, but say you and Michael die Yeah.
Say we're, you know, hit by an avalanche or a lawyer's bill.
- We go instantly.
- No, no, no.
But what's the procedure? - They just hand Janey to me? - Yeah.
We go, you get it all.
You get the kid and the My Little Pony dream house and the Samsonite luggage.
Well, do you have, like, a backup person in case something goes wrong? Like a runner-up in case you're unable to fulfill your duties? Melissa, it's a will, not a beauty pageant.
Anyway, we have a backup Nancy.
- Michael! - Michael! This is all getting a little too real.
- [doorbell rings.]
- When we wrote the will, it was hypothetical.
How is Nancy? - Everybody's always asking me.
- I'm sorry.
No, no, no.
It's okay.
It's just that you shouldn't be afraid to call her.
- [Valerie.]
Please don't look at me.
- [Michael.]
It looks good.
[all talking at once.]
Come on.
I gotta do this.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How you doing? - Hi.
Just don't look at my hair, okay? - You got a perm.
- I didn't want a perm.
I wanted a little more fullness, and this is just too full.
I Do I know you? - Oh, uh, this is my cousin.
- Melissa Steadman, the guardian.
Hi.
This isn't my hair.
- These aren't my thighs.
- [clicks tongue.]
I'm sorry to come over here so late at night, but I hate signing things.
I always feel like I'm forging.
Um, these are paper clips for I'm sorry.
I'm very upset.
I like it.
I don't think it's too full.
Jeffrey and I are splitting up.
This is so unreal, I can't I can't believe this is happening.
Wait.
Why? Ask your friend, Ellyn.
I think I'm gonna go check on Janey.
- Valerie, I'm sorry.
- I mean, she was kind of slutty at your party.
But what kind of a person is she? I-I-I'll just be upstairs.
The selfishness of all of this! Our practice is in the toilet.
He's taking Christie to a hotel.
I mean, forget about me.
Look what she's doing to this child! So this happened at our party? I'm not blaming either one of you guys.
I mean, I know I have your support.
Oh, God, Hope.
You look just terrible.
I But this is such a betrayal of all of us, isn't it? I don't know what to say.
[phone ringing.]
That's for me.
I told my lawyer to call me here.
[ringing continues.]
You look so stunned.
At least you didn't already know.
Hello? Yeah.
Hi.
Excuse me.
Pardon me.
- Hi.
- Where is she? - Who? What? - Where is she? - I came through the other door.
- Christie, that door is for wheelchairs.
- Here.

- I know.
- I couldn't find a bellman.
- Oh.
Hi.

Sure.
- Yes.

Milgrom.

She couldn't get her suitcase open.
Oh.
So, uh, did I what? Oh.

Uh, just one second.
Honey, sweetheart, you just, uh, call room service.
How? Says how on the phone.
It does not.
Oh.
Order whatever you want.
Do you want me to call? No, that's all right.
What were you gonna Oh, just Did you want to call a babysitter? 'Cause if you do, you could probably just dial the concierge.
Of course, you have to be able to say concierge.
A sitter? What are you talking about? I just thought for you, so you and I could No.
Um, no.
That was Never mind.
I can't leave her with somebody she doesn't know.
Of course not.
I don't know what I was thinking.
I forgot something.
What, honey? My stream of consciousness.
Oh, God.
Her what? Do you have to have it tomorrow? Can't I just write a note to Mrs.
Perlman? I have to have it, or I'll be incomplete.
What is it? It's my stream of consciousness.
It's for English.
Oh, boy.
Swell.
It's this thing where you have to write, like, using just one side of your brain, for 15 minutes a night.
Oh.
Which side of your brain? I forget.
Honey, could you have left it in your gym stuff? No.
Oh, boy.
Well, that's it.
I have to go back.
- Oh, no.
- I know, I know.
I mean, she's She really She's got to have this thing.
This is It's her homework.
Could you just, um Could you just stay here? - Oh, sure.
Of course.
- Yeah.
And then I'll go, right? Huh? Yeah.
Right.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
- Okay? - Sure.
All right.
Oh, Jeffrey.
Yeah? Oh, yeah.
Be right back.
Okay.
He just Did you want me to call room service? Oh.
Maybe later.
Yeah.
We don't have to be mommies.
We can be sisters.
We got hamentaschen left over from the preschool Purim party.
- Oh, good.
- I can't believe this.
What, that my kitchen's finally finished? Or that Hope can pronounce hamentaschen? Oh, come on.
I can't believe she actually called Ellyn a slut.
She did.
I'm a witness.
Comment about how great my kitchen looks at any moment.
I can't believe it.
What did you say? What could we say? - Do we have to discuss this? - [both.]
Yes! Oh, come on.
Do they have this horrendous marriage, or what? Who am I to judge their marriage? Hope.
What? Come on.
It's I don't care.
If we can't judge other people's marriages, what's left? There's nothing on cable.
Look, it's none of my business, okay? They didn't seem happy.
They didn't seem unhappy.
They seemed married.
That's the worst.
Oh, God.
It's awful.
Deeply unpleasant.
I mean, she just came from getting this perm from Hell.
So he left her for Ellyn.
Ellyn had somebody leave somebody for her.
You think it's going to last? Maybe it could last.
I don't know.
Come on.
Everything's great.
Everything's terrific.
We haven't made love in six and a half days, but it's because we haven't had any actual time alone.
You met the daughter? Yeah.
Uh-huh.
How did you find her? How did I find her? She's standing right there beside me.
No, I'm sorry.
It's just that you look so down.
Do you want to talk about it? How did you feel about her? I don't think that's any of your business.
No, I'm sorry.
God, what is wrong with me? It's like this compulsion to quip.
You're not writing those quips down, are you? Do they mean something? Anyway, where were we? What? What? His daughter.
His daughter.
Yes.
Well, I think I handled it wrong.
What did you do that was wrong? I don't mean morally wrong, like stealing or something.
I just mean I don't know.
I wasn't being myself.
I was being Cherry Ames, student nurse, or somebody.
Did I ever tell you I once stole a True Confessions magazine? You know True Confessions, right? The stories were all the same Girl gets raped or goes out with a married man, or a married rapist, and gets her bra ripped off.
By ripped off, I don't mean stolen.
I mean, you know.
How old were you? 27.
No, I joke.
I was young.
I was little.
It was a long time ago.
What is it with you guys and the past, anyway? You're like a dog with a bone.
So anyway, that's the only thing I ever stole.
Except, well Except what? Well, you know, Jeffrey.
Valerie picked this school.
It's in the top ten.
Oh, yeah? Well, I told her we'd meet her right here.
Why? Does it feed directly into Harvard Law School or something? Yup.
There's the bus, leaving now.
Looks like every other junior high school.
The girls look like cocktail waitresses, and the boys look petrified.
Hey, let's feed their deranged hormonal fantasies.
No, Ellyn, Ellyn.
Dad, where were you? What do you mean? I said the front entrance.
Did not.
Mm-hm.
What did he say, front entrance or back entrance? Oh, I really I wasn't there.
Oh.
You said back.
I said Never mind what I said.
Let's go.
I like your bracelet.
Oh, thank you.
I had a friendship bracelet, but last week I dissected a shark, so I had to throw it away.
Oh.
Well, would you like to wear mine? - Yeah.
- Okay.
Whoa.
Is that real? Yup.
It is.
My gosh, how many carats is that? My friendship bracelet got shark junk on it.
You can't get that out.
I bet.
Gosh.
What's the matter? Nothing.
How's yours? It's delicious.
I don't like the stuff they put on top.
Just eat around it.
You said it would be normal.
Do you want mine? No.
Yes.
Can she have yours? Is that all right? I offered, didn't I? It's perfectly fine.
- I love omelets.
- You're sure? I could use the cholesterol.
What's yours, again? It's chicken.
It's pretty self-explanatory.
So Christie, I think I found us an apartment.
- Really? - Oh? Yeah, the one that I told you about.
Yes.
You won it? That's great.
Well, I haven't signed anything yet, but Um, could we trade back? I think I'd rather have my omelet.
- Christie.
- Oh, sure.
Um This isn't what I thought it would be like.
I ate part of it.
You don't mind? No, please.
This has got too many little twigs or something.
Those are herbs.
They taste like twigs.
Here, give me that.
Give it to me, all right? Here we go.
Look at this.
I'll fix it.
Look at that.
Instant normal.
Eat.
Want me to fix your chicken? Maybe later.
It wasn't in the car? Could you have left it in the ladies' room? I didn't leave it anywhere.
It slipped off or something.
Well, I called the restaurant.
They haven't seen it, but they have my number, so Was it expensive? Well, it was to me.
Well, all right.
Look, I'll just Here's the thing.
I will drive back to the restaurant and I will look under the table.
It's not there.
They said it wasn't there.
Well, then I'll just replace it.
It was too big for me.
It slipped off.
That's true.
Her wrist is smaller than yours.
Are you saying it's my fault? I'm not saying it's your fault.
I'm saying that her wrist is smaller than yours.
You're right.
Her wrist is smaller.
Look, I Never mind.
What is going on? Here's the thing I knew I was leaving my wife.
I completely forgot that I was also leaving my home, and I'm kind of surprised, you know, to find myself without one.
That's all.
This is no reflection on you.
Where are you going? It's so late.
I was just I was I shouldn't stay here.
I was going to go home.
Why? Because I got to check on my cat.
Call her up.
No, I'm really going to go.
Goodbye.
Where's my coat? I think Christie used it to get some ice.
Oh.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I wasn't sleeping.
Oh.
So, um, how did it go? With your, um Your stream of conscience.
- Stream of consciousness.
- Right.
You mean, what did I write? I meant, what did your teacher say? She never says anything.
She just checks to see if you did it.
Well then, how do you know if you're doing it right? You don't.
You're just supposed to keep doing it.
I see.
Well, okay, bye.
Good night.
What did you do? Are you crazy? Just open it.
What did you do? What is this? They're beautiful.
What are they? Oh, they're placecard holders.
They're for your next dinner party.
They are totally beautiful and unnecessary.
I love them.
Hope, I really shouldn't be here.
I've got this report to write.
But I had to come here because there's something I have to tell you.
I know.
There's something I've been wanting to talk about.
See, the thing is, he did it.
Jeffrey.
He left her.
Really? Yeah.
You don't seem surprised.
No, I'm not really.
So is it working out? Um, well, I don't know.
It's not the way I thought it would be, but But what? Hope, you have no idea what this means to me.
No, I think I sort of do.
No, I mean the fact that you just accepted it, that you weren't surprised.
It's like you're saying that it makes some kind of sense, or maybe that it might work out or something.
I can't tell you how much it means to me.
Lynnie.
I got to go.
Oh, wait.
What did you want to tell me? Oh, just that What? That I've missed you.
Oh.
Thanks for the placecard.
Well, thank you.
- Bye.
- Bye.
So he's going to come down here and meet us? Yeah, yeah, he just had to go up and grab some things.
Office things.
Oh.
But he's not going to work here anymore 'cause of her, right? You know, something interesting Well, maybe not that interesting, but certainly horrifying Is that my own parents recently split up, this year.
Your parents? Yes.
I, in fact, have parents, and they seem to be trying to find themselves, or lose themselves, or lose me in a crowd, and so they got divorced.
I know it seems sort of odd Not to me.
I'm used to it.
You know what? Why don't you run up and see if everything's okay, okay? Could you do that? How come you can't do it? Um, I can't do it because I have to stay with the car.
Oh.
And also, Valerie might be up there right? This is ridiculous.
[woman yells.]
[yelling continues.]
I am not defending myself.
Because you can't, because it's sick.
I don't have to listen to anything.
You'll listen to my lawyer.
I can't believe you're doing this.
Does my protecting myself offend you? I am so sorry.
None of this makes sense.
Because you're in a fog, Jeffrey.
You just can't deal.
That's such a load of crap.
You want to revolve around somebody else now? That's fine.
Just don't expect me to finance it.
We said we would never do this.
I'm supposed to make this easy? For the sake of the child.
Just shut up.
This is who you're terrified of? Does she know that? Does she know she's the only thing that you care about? Your precious daughter.
Have you figured that out yet? Why don't you get out of here? With pleasure, counselor.
With pleasure.
Aw, damn it.
My God, how can she do this? What did she do? Aw, gee.
It's a lien.
I have no credit, no cash flow, and no assets until a judge says I do.
- She can do that? - She's done it.
The joint checking account is frozen.
The hotel wouldn't even accept my credit card.
My God, we don't even have a place to sleep.
Oh, that's ridiculous.
You stay with me.
I can't do that.
Of course you What? Jeffrey, why not? I want you to stay with me.
Really, please stay with me.
Look, there's no point in discussing it.
I don't see why I have to get upset about something that happened in the past when I have something that just happened two hours ago that I can get really upset about.
[Man.]
I thought it might be fruitful to explore.
I never even got a chance to read it.
I hid it in my desk drawer, under my book report on Call of the Wild, and the next day, it was gone.
I tore my entire room apart looking for it.
Nothing.
Which could mean only one thing that my mother had found it, that she knew, that she knew I knew she knew that I was a sex fiend.
What was her reaction? Did you find it? Look, I did something kind of not very nice today.
His daughter left her notebook on the seat of my car, and I kind of glanced at it.
What were you hoping to find? I don't know.
I don't know.
It didn't make any sense anyway.
It was something about Debbie Gibson.
Did I mention that they're staying at my place? That fight they had today was so It was horrible.
They were yelling at each other and talking about her like she didn't exist.
She was standing right there.
Well, let's face it.
If she didn't, things would be so much They'd be just so much easier.
[knocking at door.]
[Gary.]
Hey, open up.
Hey.
Hello.
How you doing? So am I interrupting? You guys making love on the kitchen table? - I know you have limited counter space.
- Get a life.
They don't come in my size.
You want a beer? No.
I was just in the neighborhood.
Felt like saying hi.
Not to you, of course, but my first three choices weren't home.
You got any chocolate milk? Chocolate milk.
I need chocolate milk.
You going to watch the Sixers tonight? Yeah, the thought crossed my mind.
Where are your pretzels? [overlapping chatter.]
You have the best Where'd you get these pretzels? - I love these pretzels.
- Hey.
How you doing? Hey.
Good.
How are you? You know what I should have said to Valerie? "I don't care what she did.
She's my best friend.
"Don't ever talk about my best friend again.
" I hate coming in after the credits.
It's female trouble.
If you said this to me If I said that to you Why didn't you call? I miss you so much.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he had to pretend his car brought him here against his will because he can't admit he misses you so much, then you both have to do this little dance about how much you can't stand each other, except you're both thrilled to pieces, but you have to spend the whole evening together pretending you could care less.
So? Hey, babe, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
[knocking at door.]
Mrs.
Lerner? Ellyn, Ellyn, my ceiling's dripping.
What? It is? I didn't know if you were in there or not.
No, I What? Here.
Oh, thank you.
[TV plays.]
[water runs.]
You hear that? That's water.
Here, let me take these.
Wayne, hang on.
I'll come right back to you.
Just hold the line.
Hang on.
- Honey.
- I forgot.
- Get out of here, okay? - Sorry.
Could you just get out? Ellyn, where's your mop? It's where you'd think.
- Let me help.
- No.
Please go.
Please get You're getting my robe wet, all right? Sorry.
No, I don't.
Look, it's over, all right? Listen, will you just listen to me? She cannot perform the simplest task.
What is this? You never had a flood before? No.
As a matter of fact, I haven't.
- It's no big thing.
- It is to me, okay? I'm very careful about I'm just very careful.
I mop, you mop.
That's not the point.
Okay, all right.
So I should have been paying more attention.
You should have been? You should have been paying more attention? Will you just Will you just please keep your voice down, all right? I will pay for what's-her-face's water damage.
That's not even the point.
How is she going to learn? - That's not your problem.
- Yes, it is my problem.
It's my bathroom.
Not to mention my bracelet.
Oh, I knew that bothered you.
You pretended that didn't bother you, - and that bothered you.
- I think I've been very patient.
What, for ten days? You don't even know what patience is.
God.
People who have children, they treat you like you're nothing.
Yeah? Well, you know something? If you cared so much about your stupid bracelet, - you shouldn't have given it to her.
- I was trying to be nice.
My God, this is crazy.
I fall in love with you, and instead of you and me - Hey, you get me, you get my life.
- No, I don't.
I don't even get you.
I don't even recognize you when you're around her.
It's like you don't even see her.
Now you see her more clearly than I do? Well, yes.
I think in this instance, I do, yes.
I am her father.
You're a total stranger.
If I'm a total stranger, why are you screaming at me in your underwear? Tomorrow night, we'll stay at my sister's.
That's not even what I want.
Look, here's the thing I I can't I can't bear it when people criticize her, because I just I can't bear it.
[alarm buzzes.]
I have to take her to school.
Go back to sleep, yeah? I'm coming.
God.
You seem to have forgotten something.
Valerie.
You want my husband? Fine, but it's a package deal.
You also get the bitch.
After all, you have so much in common.
Valerie, what are you Valerie, don't.
It's a terrible thing you're doing.
What I'm doing? Oh, that's funny.
I don't care what you do to me, but that's Christie's money.
Christie? You care desperately about Christie? I never said I cared about her.
I just said Please don't do this, Valerie.
Please.
I know exactly what you are.
You are a selfish, self-centered thief.
Yeah, that's true.
That's all true.
But I wouldn't steal from her like you are.
High-strung.
Oh, thank you so much.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
[cat yowls.]
Oh, kitty, don't worry.
He's just a huge, enormous dog.
What is this? Oh, no.
Maybe it's my fault.
Maybe I'm just the kind of person who can't Anyway, I just can't keep coming here anymore.
What do you mean? I don't know.
It's just not helping.
You want to tell me what's going on? Why? What good will it do? Did something happen with Jeffrey? No.
Remember when you asked me if I ever found it? I never did.
The magazine? She caught me looking for it, but I never found it.
Your mother? Yeah.
She caught me looking for it in her drawers.
What did she say? Nothing.
What did she do? Nothing.
She saw me, but she pretended like she didn't see me.
What did you do? I just kept looking through her drawers Through all those slips and half-slips and those little pillow sashays.
She had these jewelry boxes, velvety, that shut tight.
It was so perfect there.
It was just like looking into the sun.
And you want to stop looking, because you know you're never going to find it.
Find what? Just some proof that would make you believe her.
Believe her about what? Believe her when she tells you that she loves you.
Because some things are missing, and you don't know what it is.
Yes.
His daughter left something today.
I have something she needs.
Why does that make you cry? Because it's just so stupid.
She loses everything.

Makes sense.
So maybe you should go.
Yeah.
Maybe I should go, but I really can't.
Why? Why can't you just go? I really wish I could go, Christie, but I can't.
I just can't.

So I guess I love you, too.
Sh.
You don't even know me.
No, you're right.
I don't even know you.
I don't even know if I like you, but apparently, I love you.
I can't help it.
You're really weird.
I realize that.
Here's the thing Oh, you said that just the way he does.
What? You just said that like he does.
See, that's part of it.
I mean, it's not the whole thing, but I already have a mother.
She's really great.
Yeah.
I don't want to be your mother.
I don't even know how to be anyone's mother.

You know something? I really don't even care.
