Brothers & Sisters s04e15 Episode Script

Evan has his footsie pajamas, a new diaper, and Winnie the Pooh, so he has no excuse not to sleep through the night.
Well, thank God.
I am so tired and I have so much work to do tomorrow.
Yeah, we should really be thinking about doing something else.
Honey, I'm sorry, but the press is expecting me to announce my candidacy on the steps of city hall next week and Have I told you how much I love your lips? You and 77 percent of California.
- Really? - Yep.
My pre-announcement polls came in and everybody agrees that my lips are my greatest asset.
Everybody loves my mouth.
Yeah, what do they think about this spot? - Well, which spot? - This one.
Oh, well, I don't think they did a poll on that spot.
If they did, you'd win in a landslide.
- Ignore it.
- Oh, no, I can't.
Oh, it's Buffy.
That woman has been calling me all day.
You cannot hire her to be your campaign manager.
Honey, I have to at least give her a meeting.
I mean, she is my friend.
I don't care.
Tell her she's not getting the job.
I need that phone to stop ringing.
She's the best political strategist.
- No, you're the best.
- Well, yes, but I can't hire myself, can I? No, you'll figure something out.
That would be you.
Is this her number? She is relentless.
Hello, Buffy.
Yes, you are disturbing me, but go ahead.
Okay, I'll talk to her.
Tomorrow we'll do it.
Okay, bye-bye.
You'll have brunch with her, put her out of her misery.
No.
I'm going to give her a proper interview and if she doesn't work out, then you and I are going to hit the lists again on Sunday.
Sunday's Valentine's Day.
And our sex-iversary.
- Oh, well, that's not a real thing.
- It is too.
Oh, honey.
Every day is a holiday with you.
- Wait, so every painting is $500? - Yeah, but they're anonymous.
That way the only reason to buy it is because you like it.
Rebecca loves this one.
But five You know, I can't afford that.
I know what you mean.
I'm getting Kevin boxers for Valentine's Day.
I was going to go underwear too, but she's pregnant.
You know, it seems a little inappropriate, but I don't know what to do.
I'm totally out of ideas.
Wait, are you asking me what to get a woman for Valentine's Day? Because the last valentine I gave to a woman was written in crayon and there were boxes for yes and no, so - Things were so much easier back then.
- Yeah.
He's your boyfriend.
You have to get him something for Valentine's.
No, we've never actually used that word.
We haven't been seeing each other that long.
You're having sex.
So he's either your boyfriend or a friend with benefits.
I'm sorry, Kevin.
There's got to be something in between.
Maybe, but that was definitely a boyfriend wave.
I don't get it.
Two weeks ago he was Mr.
Perfect.
No, I like Roy.
You know I don't like Valentine's Day.
It's too much pressure and I don't see why I should have to define my relationship so that some greeting-card company can make money.
I mean, it's the opposite of romantic if you think about it.
Yeah, it's not like meeting a beautiful man in the south of France.
Stop it.
- Didn't he? - No, I never texted back.
Has it ever occurred to you, you might still be in love with Luc? Kevin, I was never in love with Luc.
I was enthralled.
There is a difference.
Secondly, it didn't work out.
It was impractical, and I am trying to be a grown-up.
Right.
So ask Roy to be your valentine.
It's no big deal.
Even Paige has a valentine this year.
I'm sorry? - Oh, you didn't - No, I didn't.
- Oh, well, me and Paige are tight.
- Kevin.
- Oh, Justin.
- Hey.
So I think I have this great idea for Sarah's valentine gift.
- Oh, what is it? - Roller skating.
- No good? - No.
She broke her ankle roller skating when she was 12.
I think she still suffers from PTSD.
Okay.
I just thought it would be retro and hilarious.
Romantic in that Olivia Newton-John in Xanadu kind of way? I totally get it.
Let's think about it.
What else could you get her? I don't know.
We're both kind of practical people with kids.
This is why I thought about doing something rather than a gift.
We could spend some time alone.
Wow, yeah.
You've really thought about this.
That's so nice.
Yeah.
It's so beautiful.
Look at it.
The color, the light.
- It's making me want to touch it.
- Don't.
Here comes the gallery owner.
- It's a great piece, isn't it? - Oh, yeah, it's so lovely.
I know the paintings are supposed to be anonymous, but the artist of this particular piece happens to be here.
I could arrange an introduction if you'd like.
Oh, I'd love that.
- All right.
I'll see if I can find him.
- Thank you.
Why? There's a woman out front who wants to meet you.
Come here.
There.
Hey.
That's okay.
Just tell her I'm not here.
- You really like it? - I love it.
There's something about the way the forms are so constrained and then this blue line in the middle just flies off the canvas like Like it just wants to keep going forever, you know.
What do you think? Honestly? I think it looks like something Libby did in second grade.
I'm sorry.
He wasn't here after all.
- Would you just tell him I loved it? - I will.
Hey, what's going on? Why are you still awake? There's something I need to tell you.
Okay.
The other night when you proposed, I had just come back from a meeting with York.
- Yeah.
- Well, he said that I was right about the hidden value of the company.
There definitely is one.
- What is it? - I still don't know.
- That's what I'm trying to tell you.
- Holly.
- Come on.
- No, no, no, David.
York tried to blackmail me.
I was in his hotel room, and he started coming on to me.
And he said that he would tell me the secret and even make me a partner if I slept with him.
- But I didn't.
You know, I wouldn't do it - No, I believe you, Holly.
I believe you.
- You do? - Of course I do.
All right, what are you going to do? You want me to deal with York? No, I just want him out of my life.
All right, so when does the deal go through? This afternoon.
My bank said that they would call me when his funds landed.
But York has this major grudge against the Walkers and when they find out who I sold my shares to - That's not your problem, Holly.
- Yeah, but what about Rebecca? I mean, she lands right in the middle again.
All right.
Then you have to talk to Rebecca before the bank calls.
But don't get sentimental about the Walkers.
They're certainly not sentimental about you.
No, I know that's true.
Look, I'm supposed to get on this plane in a couple of hours.
- You want me cancel the trip and stay? - No, no, no.
Go.
I know what I have to do.
- Okay.
- All right.
I think it's in this book.
It's not in that one.
Here it is.
The brownie recipe.
Yeah, look how old it is.
I made a copy.
That one you can keep.
Wait, wait.
You make these from scratch? I thought it was a mix that you just added some things into it? A mix? You can't make Justin's favorite brownies from a mix.
No, no, no.
Did you always know how to bake or did you learn when you had a family? I was raised in the '50s.
All the girls, we learned how to bake.
We had home economics.
I didn't have home economics, so you're going to have to talk me through this.
Yes, I absolutely will.
You know, I have this fabulous tin in my office.
This little red tin.
It's perfect because presentation is really half of it.
Nora? Oh, my God.
Oh, Nora? God, something's wrong.
- Rebecca, what? - I don't know.
Something's happening.
- Okay, just sit still.
I'll call 911.
- Okay.
Oh, God.
Wheelchair needed at Maternity checkout.
You want to try to drink a little more of this? No, thank you.
I'm not thirsty.
But they want you to drink as much as you can.
- I'm really not thirsty.
- Okay.
Can we go yet? The doctor wants to keep his eye on you just for a little while.
I don't want to be here.
I know.
I know.
I remember when I was on my second or third date with William and I didn't really know him very well, but he took me to this seafood restaurant where I got massive food poisoning.
I thought I was gonna die.
We ended up in the emergency room.
I was reading Valley of the Dolls at that time and I had a copy in my purse and he stayed with me there all night, read to me.
Every 30 seconds I stuck my head in the bucket and puked my guts out.
- Yeah, I wouldn't return his call for weeks.
- Why? I was mortified.
I didn't want him to see me like that.
And now not only was I the girl with her head in the bucket, but he found out I was reading Valley of the Dolls.
But the truth of the matter is he liked taking care of me and I liked that he liked it.
- Okay.
I'll have a sip of water.
- Good.
You want to talk about it? - No.
- Okay.
But thank you.
For being there and calling my mom and Justin.
Can you not tell anybody until Justin gets here? - I won't tell anyone.
- I came as fast as I could.
- Are you okay? - I lost the baby.
Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry.
Listen, I'm going to wait outside.
Give you guys some time.
Thank you.
Oh, sweetheart.
Well, obviously we need to review - Here we are.
- Thank you.
- My platform.
- Platforms are for Olympic divers.
We need to already be swimming.
Hey, can I just cut to the chase and let's eighty-six this little audition? No, I'm sorry, Buffy, but this is an interview and frankly, it's not going very well.
Come on, I already have the job.
I'm pretty sure that's up to me.
- You waited too long.
- What do you mean, I waited too long? Sweetheart, you think you're announcing from city hall.
- I am.
- No.
The governor's coming in to meet with the mayor.
Budget crisis.
That building is gonna be swarming with SUVs three-deep loaded with security.
A staffer will probably be calling you in the next half-hour.
- How did you know that? - I am obsessed with these things.
I have sources everywhere.
Anyway, you can do better.
You have the perfect spot.
It's just hiding in plain sight.
What are you talking about? Hon, your choice of venue is really a decision best left to your campaign manager.
Oh, come on, Buffy.
You know what? Blackmail is not a good color on you.
- Yeah? Just tell me I have the job.
- Prove to me you deserve it.
You're a moderate Republican running on family values and small business - Ojai Foods.
- Bingo.
I was already thinking about it.
They can't say no because they're my family.
- Standard vetting will need to be done.
- Of course.
I think most of the skeletons in that particular closet have already been found.
Speaking of skeletons.
Is there anything you need to tell me? - No.
No.
You can start digging.
- Okay.
Well, your hair is growing in beautifully.
- Thank you.
- Yes.
And you'd feel comfortable releasing your medical records? - I do.
I feel good.
I'm in remission.
- Okay.
Good.
Okay.
- Nothing else I need to know? - Nothing else you need to know.
- So? Do I deserve it? - No.
But clearly you have the job anyway.
Did you know they have bacon chocolate here? Oh, yeah.
It's not just for breakfast anymore.
- Would you like to try anything else? - I don't know.
- Kevin, do I want to try anything else? - Oh, yeah.
Do the wasabi next.
- No.
I draw the line at horseradish.
- Okay.
How about the lavender? Scotty always wants to try that.
If Scotty wants to try it, you can tell Scotty he can come down here himself.
- Snark much recently? - Sorry.
God, I just I don't know why you sent me to this place.
Listen, I don't really need fancy artisanal chocolate.
You have all day to figure this out.
I'm at work.
I should go.
Oh, the chili pepper.
That's meant to be an aphrodisiac.
- Get him that.
- Okay.
But what if he doesn't get me anything and I show up with a box of chili-pepper, lavender, or lox-infused chocolate? They don't do lox.
He's gonna get you something.
Hold.
Yeah? What's his name? All right.
Let him up, I guess.
I have to go.
Wait.
I don't know what to get.
Be adventurous.
Take a risk.
Bye.
You know, nothing says I love you like Sweethearts.
Hey.
There's someone here to see you.
He thinks it's important.
It's a Saturday.
Who is it? His name is Alec Tyler.
Says he knows you.
- Send him in.
- Sure.
You can come in.
Kevin, I think we're going to need to speak privately.
Sure.
I'm probably the last person you expected or wanted to see.
Actually, I don't consider you at all.
I just need a minute of your time.
Why should I talk to you? You tried to steal my wife last year.
Because I've been approached about my relationship with Kitty.
Okay, come on, Paigey.
We're running late.
- Mom, have you seen my goggles? - I got them.
Thanks.
- What? - Paige, do you have a valentine? You talked to Uncle Kevin.
It's nothing really.
There was a lot of hurt feelings last year.
So Mrs.
Noki wanted to be fair and she put all of the boys' names into a hat and had the girls choose one.
Well, that's a nice way to do it.
We're also learning about India for social studies so she thought it'd be a good lesson in arranged marriages.
Do you like who you got? Andrew Whitlow? He's okay.
- Just okay? - Well, there's this other boy.
There always is, honey.
Jake Ganon.
Sometimes when the teacher's talking and writing on the board, he'll go like this: He's really funny and so cute.
But if I had gotten Jake? Nightmare.
- Why? - Because I like him and my cheeks probably would've turned pink and I might've even barfed.
And he'd probably throw my valentines in the trash.
At least Andrew will say thank you.
There's a lot to be said for a boy who says thank you.
And as you grow up, Paige, you will realize that the man who makes you barf and blush? That's not Mr.
Perfect.
No.
No.
No, there's a lot to be said for a nice thank you.
Hey.
The doctor's looking at her.
- She'll be okay.
- Oh, she'll be fine.
- I'm not sure it's hit her yet, but - I know.
Holly, can I get you something? A cup of coffee, maybe? Oh, please, Nora, no, you've done enough already.
You were there when she needed you.
That's what really matters.
I love Rebecca.
Nora, I You know our life, you and I? It's never been easy.
- It'll probably never be easy.
- Well I may not have the chance to say this again.
I wanted to thank you, sincerely, for today.
It was nothing.
We're family.
Boy, I never thought I'd say that, but we are family now.
You and I.
And that's what families do.
We support each other.
I don't know what to say.
Well, don't say anything.
Here he is.
- Where is she? - It's in Room 243.
- Okay.
You guys okay? - We're fine.
Go talk to her.
Holly, at least let me call Sarah for you and tell her that you and Rebecca - won't be in to work on Monday.
- What? The last thing you want to think about now is Ojai Foods.
No, that's me.
It's me.
Oh, it's Kevin.
- I'm going to talk to him.
- Sure.
Hi, honey.
I'm glad you called.
So you're telling me that someone left you a voicemail? Yes.
They said that they wanted to talk about my relationship with Kitty.
- And you didn't return the call? - No.
You know what? I don't believe you.
All right, listen.
I want you to tell me what you want.
Is this about the press, are you writing a tell-all, or is this just about the money? I don't want money.
I'm here for one reason, to warn you.
You're a senator.
I figure whoever is behind this is trying to sabotage your political career.
Why would you give a damn? I don't.
But Kitty does.
You know that Kitty is gonna be running for my seat.
She's about to announce.
Good for her.
It's a little early for a smear campaign, so whoever's behind this is ahead of the curve.
- Who would have it out for Kitty? - I don't know yet.
Here's what I want you to do.
I want you to call them and set up a meeting.
Give them 24 hours.
- We're getting to the bottom of this.
- Okay.
Hey.
Did you sleep with my wife? No.
Call me when you hear from them.
Okay.
So I've ordered six dedicated phone lines.
They will be set up on Monday.
Only six? Until we find you a proper office, this is campaign central.
- And your kitchen phone ain't cutting it.
- Okay.
- What's this? - These are résumés of staffers, - foot soldiers, speechwriters - Oh, wait, wait, wait.
Short list.
I have a short list.
Here it is.
Here in the blue folder.
Okay.
I'll take a look at that as soon as I'm done with my Ojai Foods research.
Did you know that your father's company has employed over 3,000 people since it opened? Did you find any red flags? Just another financially strapped small business.
It's perfect.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, you are so cynical.
Well, you need to get used to that.
We need to talk about who's gonna be on-stage for the announcement.
Well, that would be my family.
I've done a background check on Scotty Wandell and apparently he's had some citations for vagrancy.
Something about sleeping in his car.
Yes, and he's also my brother's husband.
Isn't that the point you're actually trying to make? Well, I'm not saying we have to keep him in the closet during the whole campaign.
I'm just saying we don't need to trot him out during the announcement.
He can be in the audience.
- How do you sleep at night? - Like a baby.
Now, let's talk about your husband.
You want to put him in the closet too? No.
I want him to stand way in the back.
He can hold your beautiful baby.
You're going to put my baby in the back? Okay, your mama can hold the baby.
I'm just saying, I don't want any distractions from the main event, which is you.
Let's put your sister up there.
We can put your war vet brother up there.
- Or your kindly Uncle Saul.
- No.
Saul is gay.
I should've known it when I saw his socks.
You know, here's the thing.
The reason that we're doing it at Ojai is because it's a family business.
Yes.
That's the beauty of Ojai.
It's symbolic of family.
Hey, Sarah.
You'll be very happy to know that you made the cut.
Well, no, I mean, that you get to stand on stage with me during my announcement.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, you're kidding me.
Oh, God.
Poor Rebecca.
Is she okay? Wait, no, no.
Of course.
I will be there as soon as I can.
Yeah.
Buffy, I'm really sorry, but I have to go.
Okay, Evan is fed.
Evan is with the nanny.
Oh, wait a second.
I need to ask you something.
No, sorry, I don't have time to answer any more questions.
Who is Holly Harper? No.
I am not going to vet another person in my life.
I'm sorry.
I don't have time.
Listen.
According to this, Holly Harper has sold all her shares of Ojai Foods.
So you need to call your sister and find out who owns this company before you announce from there.
What are you thinking? Nothing.
I just feel empty.
- The doctor said you're gonna be okay.
- Okay? What, like try again? Well, yeah, yeah.
You know, when we're ready.
We weren't ready this time.
Look, Rebecca, we don't have to talk about that.
All right? As long as we have each other, I'm happy.
Can we just turn on the TV? Look, Rebecca, you have to let me in.
Okay, cry, punch a wall, punch me, something.
But just let me help you.
I just want to go home.
I want to forget this ever happened.
Nothing Holly does surprises me.
Is she in there with Rebecca? No, no.
She left pretty much as soon as I got here.
She said it was important.
- More important than her daughter.
- Kevin, don't say that.
- She's Rebecca's mother.
- Okay, okay, okay, stop.
You don't have to worry about it right now.
It's just so hard to watch her suffer.
I feel like there's nothing I can do.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know I remember when it happened to me, it I didn't even know what to think.
And everybody wanted to talk about it and it just It just seems impossible.
You know, I was at the bookstore at school today and I noticed they had a kids section.
My Fuzzy Valentine.
I was going to give it to her for Valentine's Day, but You know, you should just give it to Evan.
- He'll think it's cool, right? - Oh, Justin.
I'm sorry.
You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna keep this until you want it back.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I brought everybody up to speed.
I don't know what else to do.
I was just with her.
We sat there together with our children down the hall.
She looked me in the face and she never said anything.
Okay, Kitty just faxed over what she found.
Take a look.
Please tell me Holly did not sell all her shares.
- She sold all her shares.
- Even if she did, we have the majority.
No, this Ops-Felt Capital Group is obviously confident of gaining a majority share or they wouldn't have made her the offer.
She sold it to a conglomerate behind our back in the middle of the night? - How could she do this? - Because Holly has no pride of ownership.
I wish Dad had figured that out before he screwed her and left us Oh, come on, Sarah! Stop dredging up the past! I'm sick of cleaning up Dad's messes.
I can't believe this is still going on.
What you're father might have done, it doesn't matter.
It's not his company anymore.
It's ours.
Most especially yours and Saul's.
You've poured your heart into it.
Everything of value here exists because of you.
I swear to God, I'll see the whole place blown up before I see some faceless conglomerate take it over.
Right, and I'm not ready to give up either, so How do you suggest we stop it? With a big brick wall called the Walker family.
I'll call Holly.
See if I can find out who this Ops-Felt Group is.
No, I wanna talk to Holly.
So How is she? The cancer? I heard about it on TV.
She is better and better every day.
I'm glad to hear it.
I lost my wife to breast cancer.
How far along was she when you found out? Stage three.
And, you know, we tried everything, but it had spread too far.
I'm sorry.
You know, Kitty and I were not in a good place even before she started taking Evan to the park.
I had had a heart attack.
I withdrew.
I shut her out and so because of that we've had to fight for everything that we have and today we're better off than we've ever been, so I guess I should thank you.
- What should I do? - Answer it.
Okay.
Hello.
Is there a place where we can sit down and maybe have a? - Well, this is awkward, isn't it? - That's putting it mildly.
- You two know each other? - We do.
Alec, this is Buffy.
Kitty's college chum turned campaign manager.
Buffy, this is Alec.
The man who did not have an affair with my wife.
Alec, thank you for coming forward.
You're a stand-up guy.
Hey.
I was investigating a potential problem.
An affair in the Republican Party is a killer.
This was just a very sensitive issue.
I was being thorough.
You weren't being thorough.
You were being disrespectful.
Excuse me.
Oh, my God.
Roy.
I can't believe you got this for me.
Well, I had this whole roller-skating plan.
- Roller skating? - Yeah.
But then I talked to your brother.
He told me about the accident.
Anyway, I wanted to do something better and so I went back to the gallery.
Roy, it's so extravagant.
I know.
I got it back to the house, and I started thinking maybe I was trying too hard.
I don't really even like the painting.
- We don't like the same things, Sarah.
- No.
It shouldn't be this hard, should it? What are you saying, Roy? I don't think this is working out.
Are you breaking up with me? Yes.
I like you, Sarah.
I really do.
You like me? God Oh, my God.
I bought you I bought you chocolates.
Chili-pepper chocolates.
- Chili-pepper chocolate - They're an aphrodisiac.
I can't believe it.
I got sucked into this whole Valentine's Day thing.
And I knew.
I had a feeling deep down that things weren't wonderful, but I was - Trying.
- Yes.
Trying.
I've been trying.
Like me.
You're right.
I'm so sorry.
You're right.
I've been trying to get my heart to follow my head.
Yeah.
- Obviously, I really want us to be friends.
- Oh, me too.
- We can do that tomorrow.
- Sure.
Well, obviously I can't accept this painting.
Yeah.
No.
Yes, please.
This is not my painting anymore.
I want you to have it.
You love it.
Please keep it.
Please? Thanks.
How can you go on a fishing expedition like that without coming to her first? I was gathering facts.
When did you first hear about this? When you were running for governor someone noticed Kitty and Alec at the park.
- With our children.
- I'm sorry.
I should have just asked you.
If you can't communicate any better than that, then she shouldn't be working for you.
Maybe you and I should have this discussion alone.
You know what? The blond hair and the Southern drawl don't distract me.
I've run for this office and I've won it twice.
But you're not the candidate this time, Robert.
I am.
And Buffy, I've done your job, - I know how hard it is.
- Thank you.
There's a fine line between doing what's right and doing what's right for your candidate.
And you need to come to me first next time.
Because if we can't trust each other, then we can't work together.
Wait.
You're keeping her on the payroll after what she's Robert, I appreciate your opinion, but yes, I need Buffy.
I hate to tell you this Buffy, but you're going to be working all night.
What am I missing? Well, I have found a venue for my announcement.
Okay.
Someone want to clue me in? As you know, I'm running on family values, so I've decided to do it here, where I learned of them.
- And we're gonna do it tomorrow.
- Tomorrow? Announcing on a Sunday is a nightmare for the news cycle.
What part of "Make it happen" do you not understand? Not a thing.
Well, excuse me.
I have some phone calls to make.
She's so out of touch she doesn't even see the genius of doing it on Sunday.
Valentine's Day.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
I thought it was our sex-iversary.
You should put that on a banner behind you.
It'll be more famous than "I like Ike.
" Sex-iversary.
I never thought I would find you here.
Hello, Nora.
What, are you packing up your office? Four years ago, Holly, you became a reality to me.
And while I never imagined a world in which my husband's mistress would become a daily part of it, I accepted it.
I fought it.
I didn't like it.
But I accepted it.
I accepted you.
We've shared experiences, life.
We almost shared a grandchild together.
And today of all days when I looked you in the eye and we mourned the loss of that, the joining of our two families, you never bothered to tell me how you had betrayed mine.
Nora, please.
Let me explain.
God, when I think of all the precious moments of my life I have wasted trying to swallow my fury at you.
I was in a very difficult situation.
Oh, really? Is this about your money troubles? Good God.
William left you more money than most people could dream about.
And when you lost that, you sold his legacy and slithered away for your own profit.
- It's always about money with you, Holly.
- No, no.
It's about survival.
Well, congratulations.
You made it through another day.
I canceled the deal.
I didn't sell my shares.
- I read it in black and white.
- It never happened.
What you read was a pending sale.
I stopped it.
You couldn't have told me that when I walked in here? This afternoon, in the hospital, when you said that I was family? I realized that no money was worth losing that.
Has anyone ever told you you're exhausting? - There's one more thing.
- Oh, God.
Now what? This man that wants to buy my shares? I'm telling you, he's trouble.
- Why? - He knows something about the value of this company that was gonna make him very rich.
- I have tried everything to figure out - That doesn't make any sense.
How'd he know something about Ojai we don't? He knew William.
They were business partners.
His name is Dennis York.
Well, that changes everything.
Hello? - Oh, my God, you're early.
- No, I'm not.
- I said I'd be home by 8.
- I lost track of time.
I was gonna surprise you with your mom's brownies.
- Well, why are you doing that? - Your mom said they're your favorite, so - Rebecca, why aren't you in bed, resting? - I wanted to surprise you for Valentine's.
Well, I'm surprised.
Look, now you got to eat something.
So I got all your favorites.
I got split-pea soup from the deli.
Cheese ravioli from the Italian restaurant on San Vicente.
I got chopped salad, garbanzo beans, no blue cheese.
And if it's possible for you to love me any more, cheesecake from Feinburg's.
I can't believe you went to all of those places.
Well, now you've got to eat, so, what do you want first? Yes, I will eat later.
I have to keep stirring or the chocolate's gonna get dry.
Well, let me stir it for you.
No, it's okay.
I want to do it myself.
I need you to eat something, all right? I'm gonna eat when I'm done.
Justin! Your mom gave me this recipe.
She talked me through how to do it.
I bought dark chocolate.
I bought a heart-shaped brownie pan and I've been planning this for a long time and right now I really need something to work out the way that I planned, okay? Okay.
I got you a Valentine's Day present too, but in all the craziness, I think I left it at the hospital.
It's okay.
I can wait till next year.
Valentine's Day hardly ever happens on a weekend.
I was picturing breakfast in bed.
Instead we're spending it here in suits.
Well, the good news? The announcement is 20 minutes, but Valentine's is all day.
Well, I think we'd better stop unless we want to end up on YouTube.
If Cooper gets to go to Disneyland, can I at least take off this necklace? The pearls are choking me.
No, that's what Republicans wear.
I've got right-wing hair, so suck it up.
Can I at least wish Aunt Kitty good luck? - Yeah, don't get in anyone's way, okay? - You look great.
God, I hate Valentine's Day.
Oh, did you ever get Roy anything? Yes.
Chili-pepper chocolate.
And then we broke up.
- Wait, seriously? - On Valentine's Day? - It was a mutual decision.
- I'm sorry.
No, it's the right thing.
I'll be alone for the rest of my life, but I'm fine.
- Sarah - It's true.
Look at my track record.
My marriage fell apart, every relationship since has fizzled, Luc was too much of a good thing, and Roy never really heated up.
That's a couple of misfires.
You're still young.
- Exactly.
And you look great.
- Right.
Guys, come on.
Stop it.
I mean, I'm good at a lot of things.
My career, my kids.
I just have this one area of my life that I don't seem to be able to make work.
Whoever said you can have it all is a big fat liar.
Oh, I needed that mimosa.
Well, on the upside, Holly didn't sell her shares.
Please don't start with that otherwise I'm going to have to toss the juice - go to the straight grape.
- They're ready to start.
I can't believe the three of you are in here drinking while the GOP is out there denying global warming.
Thanks.
That's just Just a little sip.
- Oh, here he is.
- Hey.
- I'm so sorry.
It's awful.
- Well, thanks.
Come here.
- How's Rebecca? - Okay, I guess.
She's here.
"Seven, eight, nine ladybugs.
Ten ladybugs.
" - Oh, hey.
- Hey.
I'll leave you two alone.
No, no.
Hey, Rebecca.
I'm so happy you came.
I mean, you totally didn't have to.
Oh, no, I wanted to.
How's Evan? Oh, he's great.
He's great.
You know Well, I just know how Well, if you ever want to talk, I'm here.
Rebecca.
I'm so glad you're here.
- They're ready for you.
- It's time.
- Come on.
Come on.
- Go see Grandma.
What a big boy you are.
- Okay.
- Okay, wish me luck.
Well, you have always looked good in red.
- Oh, my goodness.
- Are you nervous? Yeah.
Yeah.
I think making a speech in front of a live audience is a very different thing than a one-on-one interview in the studio.
Your speech is great.
Okay? You're gonna knock them dead.
I'll be sitting in the front row making faces at you.
No, Robert.
You're not.
We talked about this.
I want you on the stage.
No, this moment needs to be about you.
I'll take my moment right now.
Kitty? It's time to meet your public.
Oh, hell.
Well, I guess I guess they've decided for us.
Yeah.
I don't understand, the painting's already been paid for.
No, I don't want to return it.
Look, I was just I was hoping that you could just credit the card of the man who bought it for me and use mine instead.
Of course.
- I'll get the paperwork.
- Thank you.
What's the matter? You don't like my painting? Luc.
This is your painting? No, I love it.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe this.
What are you doing here? I've been working with this gallery.
I tried to contact you.
You never respond.
I couldn't.
He seems like a nice man, though.
The one who bought it for you.
Oh, we're not, you know.
- In love? - No.
We're We're just friends.
I'm glad to hear that.
So, what did you love about my painting? L I love the line in the middle.
The way it's trying to escape.
It reminded me of something I lost.
What if the blue line is not trying to escape, but trying to find his way home? Well, that would be a whole different story.
- I missed you.
- Oh, my God.
