Thirtysomething (1987) s03e17 Episode Script
Good Sex, Bad Sex, What Sex, No Sex
1 [theme.]
[Woman.]
Do I think that sex is important? Yeah.
I mean I mean, it connects people in a way like nothing else does.
But then again, how often does anyone do it that well? Uh, can I go? Because, um, I'm on a break.
[Man.]
Okay, thank you very much.
Thank you.
Hey, what are you guys doing? If you want to help out here, you can.
We're doing a documentary on sexual attitudes of the '90s.
You want to answer a few questions? Sex? [laughs.]
Yeah, that's funny you should ask.
Come on.
[Man.]
Your name [scatting.]
I hear it calling me Beckoning With your name Hey, could you come with me To rolling, falling leaves? [Melissa.]
How's your knee? [Lee.]
I think the swelling's gone down.
How's your elbow? [Melissa.]
What elbow? [dog whining.]
Louie, were you watching? Mmm.
Louie, get used to it.
You know, I don't think anyone's answered our signs.
I think Louie's an orphan.
So we'll keep him.
But a dog is, like, a big responsibility.
Excuse me.
I prefer the left side of the bed, if that's okay with you.
Our first piece of community property.
[Man.]
1990.
This is the decade of the environment.
This will be the time that we must deal with global and environmental concerns, or the planet that we will leave our children will be seriously degraded.
Dynamic speaker.
I'm thoroughly depressed now.
Thank you for inviting me.
Thank you all.
Wait.
Everybody, we have pamphlets and information for you to take home, and there's coffee and lots of stuff to eat in the dining room.
[chattering.]
[sighs.]
Remember when we used to go to Hope's house to have fun? Yeah.
Oh, God.
- Hi.
- Hey, babe.
What did I miss? There's nothing wrong with the air as long as you don't breathe it.
Oh, yeah.
Well, there's no place to park out there.
Lee's struggling with it.
I got this splinter.
- It's killing me.
- How'd you get a splinter in your arm? Hell.
Oh.
I want details.
- You know, things.
- Yeah.
Sex, right? It's sex.
Well, it is kind of great.
I mean, really great.
I never knew sex could be better than I imagined, and I have imagined major great sex.
- Like this morning.
- You mean, before the Today Show? It's how Lee wakes me up.
Some of us just use an alarm clock.
I remember sex in the mornings.
The man has the energy of a 23-year-old.
Well, you know what they say.
23 goes into 35 a lot easier than 35 goes into 23.
Can we not share this with the world, please? - Okay.
- Share with us.
- You're still listening, right? - No, we're listening.
I remember sex in the afternoons.
Ladies, we are at a fundraiser.
We're supposed to be trashing the current administration and complaining about the ozone.
Oh, no.
I want to talk about Melissa's sex life.
Gary and I used to have sex.
Now we have Emma.
[Hope.]
Talk, Melissa.
Well, it's just that we're sort of into this cycle.
You know, where we're constantly in bed or on the floor or on the stairs.
Stairs are nice.
Okay, how constantly? Well, I wouldn't exactly say constantly.
I mean, just more like three or four times.
A week? - Oh, my God.
- My God.
You have sex three or four times a day? You slut.
- I miss sex.
- I miss my feet.
You have sex three or four times a day.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- [Melissa.]
Hi.
- Am I interrupting? - [Women snickering.]
I can't believe anybody has sex four times a day.
[laughs.]
That's true.
He is young.
Yeah, I guess Cher had the right idea, huh? Who? Who is this? I want her number.
Oh, it's childish.
Come on.
What are they trying to prove? [whispers.]
Find out.
Yeah.
I think it's kind of weird, though, really.
I mean, it's not like they just met or anything.
Yeah, you'd think they'd be out of that phase by now.
Yeah, I gotta go, too.
Okay.
Bye.
Did Melissa always have a voracious appetite for sex? - Don't answer that.
- No.
I can't find a stamp.
Of course, it had nothing to do with me.
I mean, it was her.
You hear that? Yeah.
- Silence.
- Yeah.
- You tired? - Exhausted.
Yeah, me, too.
- Okay.
- I miss you.
God, I want you.
- I want you.
- I want you.
[Emma crying.]
We only think we hear her crying.
It's a Pavlovian response.
[crying continues.]
She'll stop crying if you give her Dudley Turtle.
- What? - Dudley Turtle.
You're kidding.
Okay.
Okay.
I'll be right back.
Where? Living room.
Hurry.
Dudley Turtle.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
That's not Dudley Turtle.
That's Mr.
Biggs.
- Dudley has the wheels.
- Well, we're gonna try Mr.
Biggs, okay? Emma? Hi, sweetie.
- Sweetie, look who I've got here.
- [crying intensifies.]
Great.
Dudley, Dudley [mutters.]
Great.
- [toy squeaks.]
- Whoa.
We have liftoff.
We have liftoff.
Don't start without me.
Emma, sweetie, look.
- Look, it's Dudley Turtle.
Yes.
- [crying stops.]
That's a girl.
Come on.
I want you.
Susannah? [snoring.]
[sighs.]
[slow jazz.]
[Melissa.]
Something like that.
Exactly.
[chattering, laughing.]
Oh, listen, the poker game's been changed to Glenn's house.
- You should show up once in a while.
- I decided just to pluck it.
- [Melissa.]
Yeah.
- [Woman.]
I get one hair one gray hair on my eyebrow, I'm just gonna have to have lunch with Miss Clairol.
Hey.
Well, this was really It was really nice.
I guess we should be going.
Well, you know, it was really nice to meet you.
Lee's told us a lot about you.
Thank you.
You, too.
Oh, hey, do you guys want to see U2 with us next month? I got a line on some tickets.
Yeah.
That's one of the few groups we have in common.
Yeah.
His taste is improving.
Oh.
Yeah.
Well, anyway, it was nice.
Hey, why don't we go to the Powerline? The doors usually open around 11:30.
Oh, great.
Come on.
Go with us, please.
- I gotta get up early.
- Come on, Lee.
Well, what? So you'll be tired.
You want to go? Let's go.
Okay.
- Good idea, baby.
- Thanks.
You know, we don't have to do this.
Oh, no.
I want to.
It'll be fun.
What is the Powerline? [rock.]
Let me in 'Troduce you Stop running away from me Or I'll have to use you Put her on the rope and really win This tug-of-war no one can win Stop running away from me Together we'll be free Yea-ah Free-ee [screaming.]
I Couldn't be what you want me to be But what you want me to be, it isn't easy to see [yelling.]
Let me introduce you To a world that's all my own Let's free our insanity - I want to get some water.
- What? I'm going to get something to drink.
Okay.
To hide you from harm - Which way? - That way.
And hold you in my arm So stick right up and grab my tail It's a tale with a frightful twist Hey.
[continues.]
- Can I have some water, please? - We don't have water.
What do you mean, you don't have water? We don't have any water.
Now, you want a drink? - Yeah, I want water.
- I told you, lady.
- What do you wash the dishes with? - Vince! All right.
Just give me a scotch and soda on the rocks.
- Fine.
- Only hold the scotch.
- Hold the scotch? - Yeah, and hold the soda.
You just want a glass of ice? What do you want me to do with the scotch? - I don't give a damn what you do with the scotch.
- Hey! Watch your mouth.
All right.
Thanks.
Give me two tequilas.
[retching.]
Let me introduce you to my umbrella in the sun Let's follow the rain, dear Adjust your bit of sun Let me introduce you to a world that's all my own There's nothing special, come on These are really good.
Thanks.
Is that coffee? We went out dancing last night.
Powerline.
Heavy metal glam rock.
It was bitchen.
Actually, that sounds pretty good.
- Really? - Melissa, maybe you'd rather have spent the evening like me and Hope.
We paid bills while watching a game show.
Janey peed on the bedspread.
Then we fell asleep during the 10:00 news.
You know what? That sounds like a great evening.
Well, you can do it with us Monday through Sunday.
No, I'm serious.
It's not that I can't keep up with him.
I can.
I mean, I'm not ready for pasture yet.
[yawning.]
It's just What? It's boring.
Not that he's boring.
He's not.
He's great.
I guess he thinks my friends are boring.
Not that you guys are boring.
You're great.
[stammering.]
I'll leave you alone.
I'll see you.
- The proofs are great.
- Thanks.
I think it's all of a sudden just too big a deal.
Like everybody's making too big a deal out of sex.
It's just become much bigger a part of life than it really is, you know? There's so much in a relationship between two people.
Sex is only one part of it.
I can't define what percentage it is, but I think people have become much too focused in that area.
[door opens.]
She's asleep.
I've already taken too much time off already.
- I have to go.
- What? Yeah, I know.
I know.
- I understand.
- I really should go.
Okay.
Bye.
- My back! - What? What? What? Okay.
Okay.
Right.
Right.
- Come here.
- No.
Wait.
Oh - You're gonna hurt yourself.
- No.
That's fine.
[squeaks.]
- Ohh! - [gasps.]
Gary.
- Gary, are you okay? - [groaning.]
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
Oh, wow.
I almost broke Dudley Turtle.
[laughs.]
[both laughing.]
I want you.
I want you.
- Gary.
- What? - Gary.
- What? - I think you're bleeding a little.
- What? - You're bleeding.
- [sighs.]
- You're really bleeding.
- No, it's No, it's It's superficial.
Come on.
- Honey - Oh, come on.
I think we have to go to the emergency room.
Why? [people chattering, laughing.]
[Man.]
Yo, Lee, heads up.
The boss is in one of his moods.
Just a friendly warning.
- Ray, Ray, I need the proofs for the Acme - Oh, they're on my desk.
And the deadline's been moved up, for a change, until Wednesday.
Lee, your work on the Mayfair account was perfect.
- It's great.
- Thanks.
Congrats.
Elliot rarely gives out a compliment.
Yeah, well Uh, listen, a bunch of us are thinking of going down to the W.
C.
There's a new band there, and they're supposed to be really good.
- You want to go? - Yeah.
Sounds good.
Great.
Okay, well, Marty's finishing up, and then we'll go.
- Okay.
- Okay.
[phone ringing.]
- Hello? - Hi.
What are you doing? Oh, I was just finishing some stuff up in the darkroom.
- You heading home? - Well, some of the guys here know this band that's playing at W.
C.
- You want to go? - Well, I just made dinner.
Okay.
I'll come home.
I haven't eaten.
Well, listen, it's no big deal.
I mean, if you want to go, you should.
[barks.]
- I mean, it's fine.
- Oh, no.
I'm kind of tired.
I'll come home.
Lee, go.
It sounds like fun.
I'd go, but I'm still in the darkroom.
Well, I'll just go for a little while, okay? I'll just go and check the place out.
[sighs.]
Great.
So I'll be home by, like, 10.
Is that okay? Yeah.
Bye.
Hi.
Playboy.
I only look at it for the pictures.
I found them under the loose board in Ethan's room.
Wow.
You gotta admit it's a pretty creative place to keep them.
Obviously better than the one you had.
He circled his favorite parts.
I hope he didn't ruin any of my notes.
Oh, Elliot.
I can't believe this.
I mean, I can't believe we have to start dealing with this already.
I mean, our son likes naked women.
It's a Weston tradition.
I'll talk to him, Nance.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
What will you say, "Don't look at these even though I do"? Hmm? - Hi.
- Hi.
What are you reading? Mmm.
- Uh, has Louie been out yet? - Yes.
Good.
I'm thirsty.
You want something to drink? No.
[faucet running.]
Look, uh, I realize I said I'd be home more like 10:00, and, uh, it's more like 11:00.
11:30.
I'm sorry I'm late.
But I left before they did.
You know, they're still there.
I didn't make you come home.
Hey.
- This isn't funny.
- Well, you're being a drip.
- So did you dance? - No, I didn't.
I had a terrible time.
I just sat in a chair by the men's room.
- [gasps.]
- I bet.
You know, I rushed to get home.
Oh, yeah? What did you tell them, you had to get back to the old ball and chain? Oh, you're a nutcase.
No Lee, don't even think it.
Don't.
I mean it.
Lee Ohh! Lee, come on.
It's over.
- I'm serious.
- [faucet running.]
This is very childish, okay? I'm not playing.
I mean it.
Just come out here so we can clean up this mess.
Ohh! - [laughing.]
- I'm not I'm not gonna feel guilty because you came back early.
- Admit that you didn't want me to go in the first place.
- No.
No.
Stop.
- Admit it! - Come on! Uncle! I love you.
I love you more.
Okay.
Oh, um, Avery, uh, invited the whole department skiing, um, on the weekend of the 19th, and I said that we'd go.
- The 19th? That's my mother's 60th birthday party.
- Yeah.
Um, right.
Don't you remember I told you? No.
[laughs.]
[laughs.]
[Woman.]
Take me in your arms and say it's okay The more you talk, the more I want you to say Don't leave me lonely Never go away Sex without love can be satisfying but not good, because, you know, it's like Chinese food.
An hour later, you don't remember it.
Nance, can you come in here a sec? Hmm? Your bath, madame.
Bubble bath? What, did you borrow it from Britty? No, no, no.
I gave her 50 cents for it.
Oh, well, thank you.
[giggles.]
[giggles.]
Where'd you get all these candles? - A church down the street.
- Oh, yeah? And wine.
[water splashing.]
- Thank you.
- Sure.
No.
Stay.
All right.
Okay.
You know, I could get used to this.
Did you talk to Ethan about those magazines? - Not yet.
- Oh, you've gotta do that.
- I will.
Shh.
- [mutters.]
Mmm.
Mmm.
[sighs.]
Sorry.
I'm sorry, Nance.
I just Hon, I'm kind of going out of my mind here, you know? I mean, I love you, and I want to make love to you.
Talk to me, Nance.
I don't know what to say.
Look, I try to stay away, you know? I try to give you space, but this is eating me up inside.
- I need you to help me out.
I need your help.
- No, I know.
I know.
Look, I'll do whatever you want.
I'll do anything you want.
No, I just want that we not do this right now, okay? Please? [sighs, mutters.]
[door opens.]
- [Gary.]
Emma.
- [Susannah.]
Emma, honey.
- Come on, Emma.
- Honey, look.
It's your turtle.
- Come on, Emma.
- Oh, God.
God.
Sing to her.
Can you sing to her? It's the neighbors' new dog.
It's keeping her up.
[crying continues.]
- I want you.
- Oh, God.
All right.
All right.
Look, this is gonna happen.
Go into the bedroom, wait.
I'll be right there, okay? - I love you.

Shh.
That's a girl.
Wooly bully Wooly bully All systems go.
Aah! God! - [Susannah.]
Gary? - [Emma crying.]
[Gary groans.]
I think you should go skiing.
It's important.
It's not how good you do your job.
It's how good you do your boss.
It's not like it's gonna be fun without you.
I can't.
I have to go to my mother's birthday party.
- I don't want to disappoint your mom.
- Then don't.
But it's just, I think I should go to this thing, you know? I mean, this job means a lot to me.
I'm really happy.
That's, like, a weird concept for me getting paid to do something I like, and I don't want to blow it.
Then go.
But I don't want to disappoint you or your mom and dad.
We'll live.
You should go.
I'm just nuts, okay? It's okay.
Really.
Go.
- I'm staying.
- You can't.
- I want to.
- No.
You gotta go.
Look, I'm staying, okay? I want to stay.
Really.
I do.
- Man - It's okay.
- Melissa - No, it's it's all right.
Relax.
Well, I think that's the problem.
Well maybe maybe if I Look, it's not it's not gonna happen.
I mean, it's just one of those things you sort of know.
[sighs.]
[sighs.]
[exhales forcefully.]
Well, not exactly Sex Tours 1990.
Yeah, I thought we had problems.
Hey, man, you know, where there's a will, there's a way.
Sometimes.
- Hey, hey, hey, it happens, God forbid.
- [sports broadcast on TV.]
That's what you get for having sex four times a day.
- Such a letdown.
- Yeah.
That's one way of putting it.
[laughter.]
What's on TV? Hey, it's just an off night, you know? I mean, we really do have mind-blowing, firework sex.
The ceiling cracks, the wallpaper peels.
It's so good, the neighbors need a cigarette.
Oh, come on.
Yeah.
Why didn't you tell anyone you were going out? I got out of the shower.
I didn't know where you were.
Where do you think I went? The dog is gone, the leash is gone.
- I'm gonna be late.
- Yeah.
Go.
Goodbye.
- I just don't want to be late.
- No.
It's okay.
Fine.
I gotta go, too.
I don't believe this.
What? [scoffs.]
You don't sense something's wrong? Yeah, we're both in a bad mood.
I usually pass this off as being in a bad mood.
Yeah, but last night? God, is that what this is about? - Because if it is - No.
No.
It's not.
Not really.
No.
I mean, it's not that I think that what happened was weird.
It's just that I think it happened for a reason.
You know what? I don't need this, okay? I'm out of here.
[scoffs.]
That's your solution to everything, Lee.
And you you can't let anything go, can you? - I just think you were punishing me.
- [scoffs.]
Trust me, this is not the sort of thing you plan.
I don't know exactly what happened last night.
You're misinterpreting me, all right? I just think there was something going on unconsciously that you just don't want to admit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I I I feel, you know, pressure.
- [scoffs.]
- You Look, I don't feel like getting into this right now.
No.
Finish what you started.
No, I can't, because I don't feel clear about it, and I'm just gonna say something that makes you mad.
I think it's a little too late for that.
[groans.]
Look, what do you want from me? When things are great, they're great, okay? But it's like lately, I just keep doing things that disappoint you.
I never know when you're gonna get angry.
[scoffs.]
Well, I guess you've been keeping a lot in.
Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe.
I don't think you should come back here tonight.
Yeah? Well, I wasn't planning to.
[door slams.]
[Women chattering.]
- [door opens.]
- [Woman.]
Hi.
Wow.
I'm surprised.
Hey.
- What are you doing here? - I'm here every Friday.
- Oh, yeah? - Mm-hmm.
I don't usually do this.
I just felt like it.
Yeah? It looks good.
Guys think it's hot, too.
We had such a good time the other night with you and Lee.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Robert's gonna go pick up those tickets to see U2.
You know, I think that maybe he should wait, because, um, I think that Lee and I broke up.
You know, I'm not sure.
Yeah.
One of those, huh? Happens to me and Robert all the time.
Well, he got pretty angry, and I got pretty angry.
- I don't know.
- You mean it's serious? Wow.
I really liked you guys together.
I think I just want too much from him.
I keep pretending I don't, but I do.
You can never ask them for too much, because they're always gonna give you too little.
Robert always says that I'm pressuring him.
I think I'm pressuring Lee.
He just doesn't talk about it.
Oh, yeah? Well, that's Lee.
Lee's no great communicator.
Neither is Robert, which makes sense since they're best friends.
Yeah.
Lee really loves Robert.
[sighs.]
I'm really sorry.
You guys seemed like you had it all together, you know? The way you were sort of living together and everything.
I mean, [chuckles.]
I'd love to have a place with Robert.
I'd marry the guy tomorrow.
He'd freak if I even suggested it, you know? He keeps telling me that he's not sure what he wants, you know? Even though he loves me.
And he's just got a lot of stuff he's gotta work out of his system before he can settle down.
My mom says he's gotta get his ya-yas out.
[chuckles.]
He's only 23.
Stephanie, give him time.
God.
What a drag.
Eth? Hi.
[Ethan.]
Hi.
You want to talk about this? [sniffles.]
- You want to know what this is all about? - I don't know.
You know, it's kind of fun, isn't it? Sitting around with the guys, laughing, looking at the pictures, saying all the words, like, uh, "melons.
" - [chuckles.]
- "Knobs.
" - We used to call them "labonzas.
" - [chuckles.]
But that's not what they are.
They're breasts, Ethan.
They're something you're real curious about, and that's okay.
But Whoa.
Hey, you can look at me, pal.
You're not in trouble.
It's just It's just, you got a lot you gotta learn, pal.
Like, uh Gosh.
- How do dance with girls.
That's a big one.
- Gross.
And, uh, how to ask girls out.
- Forget it.
- How to kiss girls.
Give me a break.
You see, Eth, when mommies and daddies get together, it's like it's the most wonderful thing.
It's better than baseball.
Really.
Really.
And one day, you're gonna know all about that.
But not now.
So I don't want you looking at these pictures anymore, okay? Okay.
You can ask me any question anytime, and I'll always tell you the truth.
- All right? - Okay.
Okay.
- Dad? - Yeah? What's 69? That's the year the Mets won the World Series.
Is he upset? Oh, he's okay.
I'm not.
Nancy, once again, I've been completely unfair and selfish.
- Elliot - No, Nancy.
I know what I did.
And it stinks, and I'm a lousy person.
And I I'm just so good at it.
I know.
It's just that I keep waiting to wake up and feel different, but I don't.
Nancy, this isn't your fault.
It's not.
It's just I'm just such an animal.
I mean, I am.
I just I I mean, I look at you, and it's like I want to do page 22.
- Really? - Yeah.
And it's like sometimes Sometimes it's like I'm back in junior high, when you couldn't even afford to risk to go to school with your shirt tucked in.
- Oh, listen - Nancy, now, listen to me.
I want to support you through this.
And you're right.
I've been treating you different, and I don't want to do that.
And I I swear I can wait, Nance.
I know I can wait.
[Ethan.]
Mom, can I go over to David's house? - Yes.
- Yes.
But take Britty with you.
- Do I have to? - [together.]
Yes.
[door opens, closes.]
[barks.]
I hate this.
Me, too.
Lee, I'm scared.
Don't be.
I love you.
[squeaks.]
Stupid turtle.
Oh, no.
No, no! - Oh, great! - [dog barking.]
Susannah! Great! And, uh, no, I don't know the difference between good and bad sex.
I don't know what bad sex would be.
What is bad sex? Bad sex is, uh Wait.
Maybe bad sex in San Quentin.
- Oh! Oh! - I don't I don't know.
Ohh [Man.]
Thank you so much, gentlemen.
Oh, hey, excuse me.
Do you think sex is an indication of how good a relationship is? - Pervert.
- No, really.
- This is for a documentary.
- Oh, yeah? Will you answer just one question for me? Sure.
Why not? Is sex important in a relationship? Uh, yeah.
Maybe.
Sometimes.
Um, I mean, you can really love someone and not be having sex, because you know how kind of hectic life can be sometimes.
I mean, I don't think that necessarily makes the relationship bad.
But then again, bad things could be going on in a relationship when you're not having sex.
Um, I think more like what happens sometimes is that sex is the last thing to go.
You know, like you've already broken up, but you're still sleeping together.
I guess that's just a way of avoiding what's happening in the relationship.
Look, I gotta be somewhere.
You want to go to a movie or something? Uh, sure.
Oh, I don't know.
You know, I'm too tired I think.
Listen, my cousin Maureen called.
She and her husband are coming in town for my mom's party.
- They wanted to meet you for drinks.
- Okay.
Come on.
- How was work? - Uh, good.
When are the people in your office leaving for the ski trip? I'm just curious.
Their plane leaves tonight.
Okay, I gotta say something.
Yeah? I love you.
I am completely in love with you.
I love you, too.
I mean, you know, I never felt this way about anyone.
And that's why you gotta get on that plane.
What about this afternoon? Well, this afternoon, we said a great many things, but I've done a lot of thinking, and it all adds up to one thing.
If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with it, you'll regret it.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life.
Casablanca.
What? Oh, God, who are we fooling? This isn't gonna work.
I'm willing to try.
I know.
I love you.
But you should go on the ski trip.
You shouldn't have to make decisions that I didn't have to make when I was oh, when I was your age.
It's true.
I want to stay.
Are you willing to stay the whole nine yards, Lee? I mean, I want kids.
That's a big thing, even for me.
I don't think you're ready for that tomorrow.
Look, here's your chance to bail out.
Take it, okay? 'Cause it's gonna be too hard for meif you leave me in a few years.
I want to be with you.
I [exhales forcefully.]
I, um I I guess a part of me wishes that we could meet five years from now.
This is sad.
I know.
I don't I don't know what to say.
Say you'll tell your grandson about a redhead who was your first great love.
Say you'll stay forever.
- Oh, Melissa.
- [crying.]
I know.
[slow jazz.]
[Man.]
A-when I grow - Too old to dream - [Janey laughing.]
I'll a-have you - [chattering.]
- To remember When I grow Too old to dream Your love Will live In my heart So Kiss me My sweet And So let us part And when I grow
[Woman.]
Do I think that sex is important? Yeah.
I mean I mean, it connects people in a way like nothing else does.
But then again, how often does anyone do it that well? Uh, can I go? Because, um, I'm on a break.
[Man.]
Okay, thank you very much.
Thank you.
Hey, what are you guys doing? If you want to help out here, you can.
We're doing a documentary on sexual attitudes of the '90s.
You want to answer a few questions? Sex? [laughs.]
Yeah, that's funny you should ask.
Come on.
[Man.]
Your name [scatting.]
I hear it calling me Beckoning With your name Hey, could you come with me To rolling, falling leaves? [Melissa.]
How's your knee? [Lee.]
I think the swelling's gone down.
How's your elbow? [Melissa.]
What elbow? [dog whining.]
Louie, were you watching? Mmm.
Louie, get used to it.
You know, I don't think anyone's answered our signs.
I think Louie's an orphan.
So we'll keep him.
But a dog is, like, a big responsibility.
Excuse me.
I prefer the left side of the bed, if that's okay with you.
Our first piece of community property.
[Man.]
1990.
This is the decade of the environment.
This will be the time that we must deal with global and environmental concerns, or the planet that we will leave our children will be seriously degraded.
Dynamic speaker.
I'm thoroughly depressed now.
Thank you for inviting me.
Thank you all.
Wait.
Everybody, we have pamphlets and information for you to take home, and there's coffee and lots of stuff to eat in the dining room.
[chattering.]
[sighs.]
Remember when we used to go to Hope's house to have fun? Yeah.
Oh, God.
- Hi.
- Hey, babe.
What did I miss? There's nothing wrong with the air as long as you don't breathe it.
Oh, yeah.
Well, there's no place to park out there.
Lee's struggling with it.
I got this splinter.
- It's killing me.
- How'd you get a splinter in your arm? Hell.
Oh.
I want details.
- You know, things.
- Yeah.
Sex, right? It's sex.
Well, it is kind of great.
I mean, really great.
I never knew sex could be better than I imagined, and I have imagined major great sex.
- Like this morning.
- You mean, before the Today Show? It's how Lee wakes me up.
Some of us just use an alarm clock.
I remember sex in the mornings.
The man has the energy of a 23-year-old.
Well, you know what they say.
23 goes into 35 a lot easier than 35 goes into 23.
Can we not share this with the world, please? - Okay.
- Share with us.
- You're still listening, right? - No, we're listening.
I remember sex in the afternoons.
Ladies, we are at a fundraiser.
We're supposed to be trashing the current administration and complaining about the ozone.
Oh, no.
I want to talk about Melissa's sex life.
Gary and I used to have sex.
Now we have Emma.
[Hope.]
Talk, Melissa.
Well, it's just that we're sort of into this cycle.
You know, where we're constantly in bed or on the floor or on the stairs.
Stairs are nice.
Okay, how constantly? Well, I wouldn't exactly say constantly.
I mean, just more like three or four times.
A week? - Oh, my God.
- My God.
You have sex three or four times a day? You slut.
- I miss sex.
- I miss my feet.
You have sex three or four times a day.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- [Melissa.]
Hi.
- Am I interrupting? - [Women snickering.]
I can't believe anybody has sex four times a day.
[laughs.]
That's true.
He is young.
Yeah, I guess Cher had the right idea, huh? Who? Who is this? I want her number.
Oh, it's childish.
Come on.
What are they trying to prove? [whispers.]
Find out.
Yeah.
I think it's kind of weird, though, really.
I mean, it's not like they just met or anything.
Yeah, you'd think they'd be out of that phase by now.
Yeah, I gotta go, too.
Okay.
Bye.
Did Melissa always have a voracious appetite for sex? - Don't answer that.
- No.
I can't find a stamp.
Of course, it had nothing to do with me.
I mean, it was her.
You hear that? Yeah.
- Silence.
- Yeah.
- You tired? - Exhausted.
Yeah, me, too.
- Okay.
- I miss you.
God, I want you.
- I want you.
- I want you.
[Emma crying.]
We only think we hear her crying.
It's a Pavlovian response.
[crying continues.]
She'll stop crying if you give her Dudley Turtle.
- What? - Dudley Turtle.
You're kidding.
Okay.
Okay.
I'll be right back.
Where? Living room.
Hurry.
Dudley Turtle.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
That's not Dudley Turtle.
That's Mr.
Biggs.
- Dudley has the wheels.
- Well, we're gonna try Mr.
Biggs, okay? Emma? Hi, sweetie.
- Sweetie, look who I've got here.
- [crying intensifies.]
Great.
Dudley, Dudley [mutters.]
Great.
- [toy squeaks.]
- Whoa.
We have liftoff.
We have liftoff.
Don't start without me.
Emma, sweetie, look.
- Look, it's Dudley Turtle.
Yes.
- [crying stops.]
That's a girl.
Come on.
I want you.
Susannah? [snoring.]
[sighs.]
[slow jazz.]
[Melissa.]
Something like that.
Exactly.
[chattering, laughing.]
Oh, listen, the poker game's been changed to Glenn's house.
- You should show up once in a while.
- I decided just to pluck it.
- [Melissa.]
Yeah.
- [Woman.]
I get one hair one gray hair on my eyebrow, I'm just gonna have to have lunch with Miss Clairol.
Hey.
Well, this was really It was really nice.
I guess we should be going.
Well, you know, it was really nice to meet you.
Lee's told us a lot about you.
Thank you.
You, too.
Oh, hey, do you guys want to see U2 with us next month? I got a line on some tickets.
Yeah.
That's one of the few groups we have in common.
Yeah.
His taste is improving.
Oh.
Yeah.
Well, anyway, it was nice.
Hey, why don't we go to the Powerline? The doors usually open around 11:30.
Oh, great.
Come on.
Go with us, please.
- I gotta get up early.
- Come on, Lee.
Well, what? So you'll be tired.
You want to go? Let's go.
Okay.
- Good idea, baby.
- Thanks.
You know, we don't have to do this.
Oh, no.
I want to.
It'll be fun.
What is the Powerline? [rock.]
Let me in 'Troduce you Stop running away from me Or I'll have to use you Put her on the rope and really win This tug-of-war no one can win Stop running away from me Together we'll be free Yea-ah Free-ee [screaming.]
I Couldn't be what you want me to be But what you want me to be, it isn't easy to see [yelling.]
Let me introduce you To a world that's all my own Let's free our insanity - I want to get some water.
- What? I'm going to get something to drink.
Okay.
To hide you from harm - Which way? - That way.
And hold you in my arm So stick right up and grab my tail It's a tale with a frightful twist Hey.
[continues.]
- Can I have some water, please? - We don't have water.
What do you mean, you don't have water? We don't have any water.
Now, you want a drink? - Yeah, I want water.
- I told you, lady.
- What do you wash the dishes with? - Vince! All right.
Just give me a scotch and soda on the rocks.
- Fine.
- Only hold the scotch.
- Hold the scotch? - Yeah, and hold the soda.
You just want a glass of ice? What do you want me to do with the scotch? - I don't give a damn what you do with the scotch.
- Hey! Watch your mouth.
All right.
Thanks.
Give me two tequilas.
[retching.]
Let me introduce you to my umbrella in the sun Let's follow the rain, dear Adjust your bit of sun Let me introduce you to a world that's all my own There's nothing special, come on These are really good.
Thanks.
Is that coffee? We went out dancing last night.
Powerline.
Heavy metal glam rock.
It was bitchen.
Actually, that sounds pretty good.
- Really? - Melissa, maybe you'd rather have spent the evening like me and Hope.
We paid bills while watching a game show.
Janey peed on the bedspread.
Then we fell asleep during the 10:00 news.
You know what? That sounds like a great evening.
Well, you can do it with us Monday through Sunday.
No, I'm serious.
It's not that I can't keep up with him.
I can.
I mean, I'm not ready for pasture yet.
[yawning.]
It's just What? It's boring.
Not that he's boring.
He's not.
He's great.
I guess he thinks my friends are boring.
Not that you guys are boring.
You're great.
[stammering.]
I'll leave you alone.
I'll see you.
- The proofs are great.
- Thanks.
I think it's all of a sudden just too big a deal.
Like everybody's making too big a deal out of sex.
It's just become much bigger a part of life than it really is, you know? There's so much in a relationship between two people.
Sex is only one part of it.
I can't define what percentage it is, but I think people have become much too focused in that area.
[door opens.]
She's asleep.
I've already taken too much time off already.
- I have to go.
- What? Yeah, I know.
I know.
- I understand.
- I really should go.
Okay.
Bye.
- My back! - What? What? What? Okay.
Okay.
Right.
Right.
- Come here.
- No.
Wait.
Oh - You're gonna hurt yourself.
- No.
That's fine.
[squeaks.]
- Ohh! - [gasps.]
Gary.
- Gary, are you okay? - [groaning.]
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
Oh, wow.
I almost broke Dudley Turtle.
[laughs.]
[both laughing.]
I want you.
I want you.
- Gary.
- What? - Gary.
- What? - I think you're bleeding a little.
- What? - You're bleeding.
- [sighs.]
- You're really bleeding.
- No, it's No, it's It's superficial.
Come on.
- Honey - Oh, come on.
I think we have to go to the emergency room.
Why? [people chattering, laughing.]
[Man.]
Yo, Lee, heads up.
The boss is in one of his moods.
Just a friendly warning.
- Ray, Ray, I need the proofs for the Acme - Oh, they're on my desk.
And the deadline's been moved up, for a change, until Wednesday.
Lee, your work on the Mayfair account was perfect.
- It's great.
- Thanks.
Congrats.
Elliot rarely gives out a compliment.
Yeah, well Uh, listen, a bunch of us are thinking of going down to the W.
C.
There's a new band there, and they're supposed to be really good.
- You want to go? - Yeah.
Sounds good.
Great.
Okay, well, Marty's finishing up, and then we'll go.
- Okay.
- Okay.
[phone ringing.]
- Hello? - Hi.
What are you doing? Oh, I was just finishing some stuff up in the darkroom.
- You heading home? - Well, some of the guys here know this band that's playing at W.
C.
- You want to go? - Well, I just made dinner.
Okay.
I'll come home.
I haven't eaten.
Well, listen, it's no big deal.
I mean, if you want to go, you should.
[barks.]
- I mean, it's fine.
- Oh, no.
I'm kind of tired.
I'll come home.
Lee, go.
It sounds like fun.
I'd go, but I'm still in the darkroom.
Well, I'll just go for a little while, okay? I'll just go and check the place out.
[sighs.]
Great.
So I'll be home by, like, 10.
Is that okay? Yeah.
Bye.
Hi.
Playboy.
I only look at it for the pictures.
I found them under the loose board in Ethan's room.
Wow.
You gotta admit it's a pretty creative place to keep them.
Obviously better than the one you had.
He circled his favorite parts.
I hope he didn't ruin any of my notes.
Oh, Elliot.
I can't believe this.
I mean, I can't believe we have to start dealing with this already.
I mean, our son likes naked women.
It's a Weston tradition.
I'll talk to him, Nance.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
What will you say, "Don't look at these even though I do"? Hmm? - Hi.
- Hi.
What are you reading? Mmm.
- Uh, has Louie been out yet? - Yes.
Good.
I'm thirsty.
You want something to drink? No.
[faucet running.]
Look, uh, I realize I said I'd be home more like 10:00, and, uh, it's more like 11:00.
11:30.
I'm sorry I'm late.
But I left before they did.
You know, they're still there.
I didn't make you come home.
Hey.
- This isn't funny.
- Well, you're being a drip.
- So did you dance? - No, I didn't.
I had a terrible time.
I just sat in a chair by the men's room.
- [gasps.]
- I bet.
You know, I rushed to get home.
Oh, yeah? What did you tell them, you had to get back to the old ball and chain? Oh, you're a nutcase.
No Lee, don't even think it.
Don't.
I mean it.
Lee Ohh! Lee, come on.
It's over.
- I'm serious.
- [faucet running.]
This is very childish, okay? I'm not playing.
I mean it.
Just come out here so we can clean up this mess.
Ohh! - [laughing.]
- I'm not I'm not gonna feel guilty because you came back early.
- Admit that you didn't want me to go in the first place.
- No.
No.
Stop.
- Admit it! - Come on! Uncle! I love you.
I love you more.
Okay.
Oh, um, Avery, uh, invited the whole department skiing, um, on the weekend of the 19th, and I said that we'd go.
- The 19th? That's my mother's 60th birthday party.
- Yeah.
Um, right.
Don't you remember I told you? No.
[laughs.]
[laughs.]
[Woman.]
Take me in your arms and say it's okay The more you talk, the more I want you to say Don't leave me lonely Never go away Sex without love can be satisfying but not good, because, you know, it's like Chinese food.
An hour later, you don't remember it.
Nance, can you come in here a sec? Hmm? Your bath, madame.
Bubble bath? What, did you borrow it from Britty? No, no, no.
I gave her 50 cents for it.
Oh, well, thank you.
[giggles.]
[giggles.]
Where'd you get all these candles? - A church down the street.
- Oh, yeah? And wine.
[water splashing.]
- Thank you.
- Sure.
No.
Stay.
All right.
Okay.
You know, I could get used to this.
Did you talk to Ethan about those magazines? - Not yet.
- Oh, you've gotta do that.
- I will.
Shh.
- [mutters.]
Mmm.
Mmm.
[sighs.]
Sorry.
I'm sorry, Nance.
I just Hon, I'm kind of going out of my mind here, you know? I mean, I love you, and I want to make love to you.
Talk to me, Nance.
I don't know what to say.
Look, I try to stay away, you know? I try to give you space, but this is eating me up inside.
- I need you to help me out.
I need your help.
- No, I know.
I know.
Look, I'll do whatever you want.
I'll do anything you want.
No, I just want that we not do this right now, okay? Please? [sighs, mutters.]
[door opens.]
- [Gary.]
Emma.
- [Susannah.]
Emma, honey.
- Come on, Emma.
- Honey, look.
It's your turtle.
- Come on, Emma.
- Oh, God.
God.
Sing to her.
Can you sing to her? It's the neighbors' new dog.
It's keeping her up.
[crying continues.]
- I want you.
- Oh, God.
All right.
All right.
Look, this is gonna happen.

Wooly bully Wooly bully All systems go.
Aah! God! - [Susannah.]
Gary? - [Emma crying.]
[Gary groans.]
I think you should go skiing.
It's important.
It's not how good you do your job.
It's how good you do your boss.
It's not like it's gonna be fun without you.
I can't.
I have to go to my mother's birthday party.
- I don't want to disappoint your mom.
- Then don't.
But it's just, I think I should go to this thing, you know? I mean, this job means a lot to me.
I'm really happy.
That's, like, a weird concept for me getting paid to do something I like, and I don't want to blow it.
Then go.
But I don't want to disappoint you or your mom and dad.
We'll live.
You should go.
I'm just nuts, okay? It's okay.
Really.
Go.
- I'm staying.
- You can't.
- I want to.
- No.
You gotta go.
Look, I'm staying, okay? I want to stay.
Really.
I do.
- Man - It's okay.
- Melissa - No, it's it's all right.
Relax.
Well, I think that's the problem.
Well maybe maybe if I Look, it's not it's not gonna happen.
I mean, it's just one of those things you sort of know.
[sighs.]
[sighs.]
[exhales forcefully.]
Well, not exactly Sex Tours 1990.
Yeah, I thought we had problems.
Hey, man, you know, where there's a will, there's a way.
Sometimes.
- Hey, hey, hey, it happens, God forbid.
- [sports broadcast on TV.]
That's what you get for having sex four times a day.
- Such a letdown.
- Yeah.
That's one way of putting it.
[laughter.]
What's on TV? Hey, it's just an off night, you know? I mean, we really do have mind-blowing, firework sex.
The ceiling cracks, the wallpaper peels.
It's so good, the neighbors need a cigarette.
Oh, come on.
Yeah.
Why didn't you tell anyone you were going out? I got out of the shower.
I didn't know where you were.
Where do you think I went? The dog is gone, the leash is gone.
- I'm gonna be late.
- Yeah.
Go.
Goodbye.
- I just don't want to be late.
- No.
It's okay.
Fine.
I gotta go, too.
I don't believe this.
What? [scoffs.]
You don't sense something's wrong? Yeah, we're both in a bad mood.
I usually pass this off as being in a bad mood.
Yeah, but last night? God, is that what this is about? - Because if it is - No.
No.
It's not.
Not really.
No.
I mean, it's not that I think that what happened was weird.
It's just that I think it happened for a reason.
You know what? I don't need this, okay? I'm out of here.
[scoffs.]
That's your solution to everything, Lee.
And you you can't let anything go, can you? - I just think you were punishing me.
- [scoffs.]
Trust me, this is not the sort of thing you plan.
I don't know exactly what happened last night.
You're misinterpreting me, all right? I just think there was something going on unconsciously that you just don't want to admit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I I I feel, you know, pressure.
- [scoffs.]
- You Look, I don't feel like getting into this right now.
No.
Finish what you started.
No, I can't, because I don't feel clear about it, and I'm just gonna say something that makes you mad.
I think it's a little too late for that.
[groans.]
Look, what do you want from me? When things are great, they're great, okay? But it's like lately, I just keep doing things that disappoint you.
I never know when you're gonna get angry.
[scoffs.]
Well, I guess you've been keeping a lot in.
Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe.
I don't think you should come back here tonight.
Yeah? Well, I wasn't planning to.
[door slams.]
[Women chattering.]
- [door opens.]
- [Woman.]
Hi.
Wow.
I'm surprised.
Hey.
- What are you doing here? - I'm here every Friday.
- Oh, yeah? - Mm-hmm.
I don't usually do this.
I just felt like it.
Yeah? It looks good.
Guys think it's hot, too.
We had such a good time the other night with you and Lee.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Robert's gonna go pick up those tickets to see U2.
You know, I think that maybe he should wait, because, um, I think that Lee and I broke up.
You know, I'm not sure.
Yeah.
One of those, huh? Happens to me and Robert all the time.
Well, he got pretty angry, and I got pretty angry.
- I don't know.
- You mean it's serious? Wow.
I really liked you guys together.
I think I just want too much from him.
I keep pretending I don't, but I do.
You can never ask them for too much, because they're always gonna give you too little.
Robert always says that I'm pressuring him.
I think I'm pressuring Lee.
He just doesn't talk about it.
Oh, yeah? Well, that's Lee.
Lee's no great communicator.
Neither is Robert, which makes sense since they're best friends.
Yeah.
Lee really loves Robert.
[sighs.]
I'm really sorry.
You guys seemed like you had it all together, you know? The way you were sort of living together and everything.
I mean, [chuckles.]
I'd love to have a place with Robert.
I'd marry the guy tomorrow.
He'd freak if I even suggested it, you know? He keeps telling me that he's not sure what he wants, you know? Even though he loves me.
And he's just got a lot of stuff he's gotta work out of his system before he can settle down.
My mom says he's gotta get his ya-yas out.
[chuckles.]
He's only 23.
Stephanie, give him time.
God.
What a drag.
Eth? Hi.
[Ethan.]
Hi.
You want to talk about this? [sniffles.]
- You want to know what this is all about? - I don't know.
You know, it's kind of fun, isn't it? Sitting around with the guys, laughing, looking at the pictures, saying all the words, like, uh, "melons.
" - [chuckles.]
- "Knobs.
" - We used to call them "labonzas.
" - [chuckles.]
But that's not what they are.
They're breasts, Ethan.
They're something you're real curious about, and that's okay.
But Whoa.
Hey, you can look at me, pal.
You're not in trouble.
It's just It's just, you got a lot you gotta learn, pal.
Like, uh Gosh.
- How do dance with girls.
That's a big one.
- Gross.
And, uh, how to ask girls out.
- Forget it.
- How to kiss girls.
Give me a break.
You see, Eth, when mommies and daddies get together, it's like it's the most wonderful thing.
It's better than baseball.
Really.
Really.
And one day, you're gonna know all about that.
But not now.
So I don't want you looking at these pictures anymore, okay? Okay.
You can ask me any question anytime, and I'll always tell you the truth.
- All right? - Okay.
Okay.
- Dad? - Yeah? What's 69? That's the year the Mets won the World Series.
Is he upset? Oh, he's okay.
I'm not.
Nancy, once again, I've been completely unfair and selfish.
- Elliot - No, Nancy.
I know what I did.
And it stinks, and I'm a lousy person.
And I I'm just so good at it.
I know.
It's just that I keep waiting to wake up and feel different, but I don't.
Nancy, this isn't your fault.
It's not.
It's just I'm just such an animal.
I mean, I am.
I just I I mean, I look at you, and it's like I want to do page 22.
- Really? - Yeah.
And it's like sometimes Sometimes it's like I'm back in junior high, when you couldn't even afford to risk to go to school with your shirt tucked in.
- Oh, listen - Nancy, now, listen to me.
I want to support you through this.
And you're right.
I've been treating you different, and I don't want to do that.
And I I swear I can wait, Nance.
I know I can wait.
[Ethan.]
Mom, can I go over to David's house? - Yes.
- Yes.
But take Britty with you.
- Do I have to? - [together.]
Yes.
[door opens, closes.]
[barks.]
I hate this.
Me, too.
Lee, I'm scared.
Don't be.
I love you.
[squeaks.]
Stupid turtle.
Oh, no.
No, no! - Oh, great! - [dog barking.]
Susannah! Great! And, uh, no, I don't know the difference between good and bad sex.
I don't know what bad sex would be.
What is bad sex? Bad sex is, uh Wait.
Maybe bad sex in San Quentin.
- Oh! Oh! - I don't I don't know.
Ohh [Man.]
Thank you so much, gentlemen.
Oh, hey, excuse me.
Do you think sex is an indication of how good a relationship is? - Pervert.
- No, really.
- This is for a documentary.
- Oh, yeah? Will you answer just one question for me? Sure.
Why not? Is sex important in a relationship? Uh, yeah.
Maybe.
Sometimes.
Um, I mean, you can really love someone and not be having sex, because you know how kind of hectic life can be sometimes.
I mean, I don't think that necessarily makes the relationship bad.
But then again, bad things could be going on in a relationship when you're not having sex.
Um, I think more like what happens sometimes is that sex is the last thing to go.
You know, like you've already broken up, but you're still sleeping together.
I guess that's just a way of avoiding what's happening in the relationship.
Look, I gotta be somewhere.
You want to go to a movie or something? Uh, sure.
Oh, I don't know.
You know, I'm too tired I think.
Listen, my cousin Maureen called.
She and her husband are coming in town for my mom's party.
- They wanted to meet you for drinks.
- Okay.
Come on.
- How was work? - Uh, good.
When are the people in your office leaving for the ski trip? I'm just curious.
Their plane leaves tonight.
Okay, I gotta say something.
Yeah? I love you.
I am completely in love with you.
I love you, too.
I mean, you know, I never felt this way about anyone.
And that's why you gotta get on that plane.
What about this afternoon? Well, this afternoon, we said a great many things, but I've done a lot of thinking, and it all adds up to one thing.
If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with it, you'll regret it.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life.
Casablanca.
What? Oh, God, who are we fooling? This isn't gonna work.
I'm willing to try.
I know.
I love you.
But you should go on the ski trip.
You shouldn't have to make decisions that I didn't have to make when I was oh, when I was your age.
It's true.
I want to stay.
Are you willing to stay the whole nine yards, Lee? I mean, I want kids.
That's a big thing, even for me.
I don't think you're ready for that tomorrow.
Look, here's your chance to bail out.
Take it, okay? 'Cause it's gonna be too hard for meif you leave me in a few years.
I want to be with you.
I [exhales forcefully.]
I, um I I guess a part of me wishes that we could meet five years from now.
This is sad.
I know.
I don't I don't know what to say.
Say you'll tell your grandson about a redhead who was your first great love.
Say you'll stay forever.
- Oh, Melissa.
- [crying.]
I know.
[slow jazz.]
[Man.]
A-when I grow - Too old to dream - [Janey laughing.]
I'll a-have you - [chattering.]
- To remember When I grow Too old to dream Your love Will live In my heart So Kiss me My sweet And So let us part And when I grow
