Brothers & Sisters s05e01 Episode Script

I never thought we'd get back to this table.
I can't tell you how good it felt to have dinner together again.
We hadn't done that since the night of the accident.
Kitty.
To be honest, sometimes I felt like we'd never get over it.
But somehow we did.
Took a while, though.
Sarah just tried to move on.
Kevin was busy trying to save every family in the world except ours.
Mom? It was like she became somebody else.
But someone came home and turned out to be a hero.
In more ways than one.
And as for me, I had to make a choice that no one should ever have to make.
Okay, I do not see you.
I'm at the corner of Third.
So am I.
Luc, I am running late, this is the biggest business meeting of my career.
I don't have any time to waste.
Just Just look up.
Oh, my God.
So how does it look? It's huge.
- I can't believe they already hung it.
- Oh, it's hung.
It's gonna be a real nice icebreaker at PTA meetings.
- I'm afraid to leave the house now.
- Do me a favor? Don't.
All right, Mateo, listen up.
When the judge addresses you, you speak clearly and politely.
So much as blink rudely, he'll ship your butt to juvenile hall.
Gum.
This is Kitty, leave a message.
Kitty, hi.
I just I wanted to make sure that you were coming to the dinner tonight.
Scotty and Saul are planning such a nice meal.
And so call me.
I'll talk to you later.
See you tonight.
- Hi.
- Was that a personal conversation? Yes, Zoe, that was a personal call.
And I have to leave early like I told you, so I hope you don't get upset.
Well, you're here now.
And there are customers waiting.
Okay.
Your Honor, to ship my client off to juvenile hall is to say that our criminal justice system places more value on the punishment of a boy than it does on the redemptive value of a real home.
Mateo's father is here today and he is prepared to take him home.
I urge Your Honor, when you rule on this case, to let your understanding of the insignificance of Mateo's crime be outweighed by your belief in the monumental importance of family.
Thank you.
Okay then.
I'm ruling that the defendant shall return to the custody of his father, where he will behave himself.
Is that clear? Next case.
I would have been fine in juvie.
Trust me, you wouldn't have.
Do you have any kids? No.
No, I don't.
I think your father's waiting.
You should go.
Café 429.
Let me check that.
Schiffman? S-C-H-I-F-F-M-A-N.
Thursday for 8:00.
Yes, we've got you right here.
Yes, that'll be great.
Have you got a vase I can put this in? - Any vase will do.
- Hang on a second, please.
Except that one.
It's horrible.
Any other vase - Hang on a second, Mrs.
Schiffman.
- That's not much better.
I will.
I'll tell Scotty you like the polenta.
Very good.
Okay, thanks.
See you Thursday at 8.
Yeah.
Bye.
- Lovely flowers.
- Thank you.
Okay, where are we gonna sit? - We can put the tables together.
- Okay, let's put the tables together, then.
Nora, why are we having this dinner here anyway? Because I was working all day and I couldn't put it together.
That's why.
Really? I see.
I think it's because you're hoping that everybody's in public, that it won't turn into D-day with entrées.
You're also forgetting that the restaurant is closed on Monday.
Oh, damn it.
What is that? This is a two-top.
Nora, Nora, Nora, please.
Just relax, come on.
He's coming home safe and sound.
It's a really good start.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
That's a really good start.
He's coming back safe and sound, I hope.
Last time he came home, he was injured.
The time before that, he came home with a drug problem.
I just hope he is safe and sound.
Nora, it was his decision to go back.
And there was nothing you could do about it.
Mom, there's nothing you can do.
I'm fine.
But you're not fine, Justin.
Look at you, you're a mess.
So what? I'm a mess, all right? Like, what the hell difference does that make? It makes a difference.
It makes a difference, Justin.
This is your life.
You have a family, you have a wife.
The accident was four weeks ago.
You have to get up off this couch and just And what, Mom? Move on? Like, move on? Do you think I like who I am right now? I left Robert on the side of the road.
No one is blaming you.
It doesn't matter, Mom.
I blame me.
- Holly is alive because of you.
- I'm not helping her now, Mom.
Rebecca and I can barely look at each other.
And the only thing I wanna do? The only thing that makes sense to me, nobody can understand.
Rebecca said she's gonna leave me if I consider going off to war.
Because it makes no sense! It's crazy.
- You can't go off to war because - This is war.
This is war.
Where I am right now, Mom.
And I'm not winning.
I'm dying.
I'm dying.
And over there, that feels like my chance to make things right again, Mom.
Then go.
Sign up, go back to the Army.
Sail off to Iraq or Afghanistan, wherever people are blowing each other up.
If that's the only thing you think will make you better, then go.
Attention passengers, bringing a prohibited item to a security checkpoint Justin.
Justin.
Justin.
- Hey, Mom.
Come here.
- Oh, God.
Justin.
- Oh, God.
I can't believe you're back.
- It's so good to see you.
Oh, look at you.
Look at you.
- You look great.
- Stop.
- You look different.
- Different? Have I grown? Oh, don't make fun of me.
God, I - I missed you.
- Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
- Is this the whole welcoming committee? - Yes.
You're gonna see everyone at dinner tonight.
They're so excited to see you.
- Come on, let's go.
Get your stuff.
- Let me get my bag.
Don't worry.
Come on, I got this.
I got this.
- Oh, you're home.
- Yeah.
So where do you want me to take you? To your apartment? No, no.
I'm going to try and reach Rebecca first before I show up.
Good.
- How's Kitty? - Fine.
- Is everything the same with Robert? - Yes.
Have you spoken to Kitty about it? All the doctors say, with Robert's kind of coma, he could snap out of it at any No, no, no, Mom, it's been a year.
It's been more than a year.
And maybe a doctor said that at first, but now he's in a permanent vegetative state.
This is Kitty's life.
I don't think it's our place to tell her what to do.
Not our place, Mom? Then whose is it? So I promise I'm gonna talk to them about cleaning the windows.
But it's We need to get as much sunshine in here as we can.
Oh, and I have a surprise for you.
Justin is back.
And I know he's gonna wanna come see you as soon as he can.
All right.
You are finished.
Okay, well, I have to go.
I have an appointment, but I will see you later.
You have a good day.
I love you.
Okay.
You better get down here or I am gonna drink this whole bottle, par moi.
Or however the hell you say "by myself" in French.
Are we gonna celebrate now? Isn't it a little too early for that? Well, I'm not just celebrating, I'm also girding my loins.
Or at least my liver.
We haven't had a Walker fest for so long.
At least get me drunk.
All right, I will celebrate.
Here's to your $50-million deal.
Actually, it's 55.
Oh, sorry.
You know, you never stopped believing in that land.
Never.
And for that, the entire family is gonna be financially secure.
- So bravo.
- Thank you.
That's enough about me, let's talk about my boyfriend.
Here is to his semi-naked self up there for the world to gawk at.
You sorry I did it? Sorry? Why? You can tell me.
Honey, there is nothing to be sorry about, I can assure you.
- Tell me more about Paris.
- Well, there is this apartment I know.
- It's in Le Marais.
- Le Marais.
And the windows that give into the Place des Vosges, - Oh, God, I've been there.
- It's just lovely.
And below, there is the best bakery in the world.
We could live on croissants and table wine.
Oh, God, let's go tonight.
- Don't you wanna see your brother? - Of course I do.
God, you know, it's always a little It's always a little tense when he comes back from over there.
I don't know.
I feel like the whole family's in limbo, you know? Like, we're all on hold, just waiting.
Don't let that be me.
- Who? - Robert.
Just lying there like that.
- Promise me that you would end it.
- No.
No, I am serious.
Promise me.
Sarah, I'm sorry, but I love you, all right? I can't promise that.
It's okay.
Oh, my gosh.
- Uncle Justin.
You know Uncle Justin.
- Is that Evan? - I can't believe this.
- Hey, Evan.
- Can you say hi? - How are you? - Sweetie, it's okay, you can say hi.
- Can I get a hug? - Oh, yeah.
- Oh, my God, you're so big.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, well, that's what happens when you feed them.
You're big.
What have you been eating? You gonna go play? Wow, he's huge.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, come here, come here.
- Hey.
Come here, come here.
- Oh, my God.
- I missed you so much.
- Yeah.
No, I'm I am.
I'm fine.
I just had to drop off Evan because I have a meeting at the RNC, actually and But how are you? I wanna talk about you and I How was it over there? I mean, well, not that you could really say.
No, I can.
I'm good.
I'm good.
It felt different this time.
Oh, good.
Good.
Kitty, you know, I think about the accident a lot I'm so happy you're back.
Do you have any idea how proud I am of you? I mean, look at you.
Well, you haven't possibly convinced my wife of that, have you? Have you guys been talking at least? Some, some.
You know, she sent me a birthday present and stuff.
You know, things were a little strained when I left.
Who am I kidding? They were practically broken.
You know, she begged me not to go and I did.
So she may not forgive me.
And I have to prepare myself for that.
You know, as hard as it is, sometimes you just have to let someone go.
Why are you saying that? "As hard as it is, sometimes you just have to let people go.
" Are you talking about Rebecca or are you talking about Robert? I was talking about Rebecca, but if you'd like to talk about Robert I don't want to.
You know what I want? I wanna know why everybody in this family thinks that it's just so easy to play God.
- No, no, K.
I'm not playing God.
- No, no, there is a chance.
There's a chance of recovery.
Many cases, people have emerged spontan Okay, not after a year and not with his kind of catastrophic brain injury.
How do you know? You're not a doctor.
There was a woman in 1968, okay? She was in a coma for 12 years He's never coming out of this.
Then why is he fighting? He's not.
You are.
You know, you just got off of an airplane.
You haven't been here in a year.
You have no idea what is going on here.
You know what I thought? I actually thought that you were gonna wanna see him.
- So excuse me, please.
- I'm sorry.
Kitty, I'm so You're kidding, right? I know.
You can take it to the living room if you want.
Wha? How? I don't think I could lift it.
I thought you were working out twice a day.
No, that would be Luc.
I don't have time to perfect my abs anymore.
Anymore? Kevin, you never had abs.
Summer of '98? Remember Tae Bo? Sadly, I do.
Can I at least show you the pertinent parts? - Luc's or the contracts? - Kevin.
You know, I was driving to court today, I saw him three times.
How can you concentrate on anything else when you live with an underwear model? - He's an artist, actually.
- I agree.
He got badly affected by the global financial meltdown, he needed money, he has a friend who's a photographer.
This whole thing is a complete fluke.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
"Land herein referred to as Narrow Lake.
" Here we go.
"Purchased for a sum of $55 million.
" Whoa, that's a lot of money.
One thing's for certain, tonight I can tell everybody that the deal's gonna be signed and maybe when people find out how much money they're gonna get Sarah, you don't have to give us money.
- I've told you that.
- No, I know, but I want to.
Kitty's gonna need it for Robert's care.
You can keep practicing for the law firm of Walker, Pro and Bono.
- And I can go to France.
- France? Luc and I have been talking about the idea that we might all move to Paris.
When you think about it, what's really keeping me here? - No, you're absolutely right.
- Kevin, that came out wrong.
I'm gonna go.
No, no, I understand.
You should go to Paris.
I wish Kitty would go to Paris.
I think we should all go to Paris.
- Does Justin know? - No.
Some homecoming, huh? Here.
- What is this for? - The prosciutto.
Yeah? This is for a softball game.
- Come on, find a ripe one.
- Oh, for goodness sakes.
I can't concentrate.
While we were still in the airport, Justin was asking about Robert.
For one year, for one solid year, Kitty hasn't been wanting or willing to talk about it.
And I can't tell her what to do.
Well, I've noticed that you can't tell anyone what to do these days.
Yeah, well, I lost my voice.
Here.
Oh, it's ripe.
- Who's that? - That's nobody.
- Who was that? - It's that guy, okay? You mean, the guy you were playing backgammon with? The retired professor? Why didn't you answer it? That's a no-brainer.
I don't know.
L We have so much in common, also.
Is he positive too? Why would you ask that? - I don't know.
I'm sorry.
- I meant we have a lot in common.
We have music in common, we have backgammon in common.
I don't define myself by being positive.
It's not something that I look for or I'm not looking for in a partner.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know why I said that.
No, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to jump on you.
Saul, life is short and fragile.
If I've learned nothing else this year, I've learned that.
I thought you lost your voice.
Not with you, I haven't.
- Hey.
- Hey.
How are things here? Oh, wow, nice flowers.
Yeah, Nora and Saul must have set the table.
Kind of a stealth operation.
- What, you don't approve? - No, no, it's beautiful.
I think it's weird that your mother hasn't called today.
You know, about the menu or about anything.
There's a lot of things that are weird recently.
It's nothing new.
So my client got to go home to his father today instead of juvie.
Oh, that's good, right? I guess so.
Kid didn't seem too pleased.
It's funny, he asked me if I had children.
What did you say? I said, no.
Anyway, I got a lot of work to do before dinner tonight.
Do you wanna talk about it? About what? You do this.
You bring it up and then you just What, the surrogacy? Kevin, why else would you tell me that story? Because it was something that happened at work today.
I don't believe you.
You're in a lot of pain about losing the baby and you wanna talk about it We had two, Scotty.
We had two miscarriages.
Exactly.
And the only way we're gonna get through this is if we talk about it.
You have to let me do this my way, okay? I am trying to move on.
Why do you think I'm doing this? I respect that you are practicing law out of a restaurant, that you are helping people.
It's the only thing that makes sense to me.
It's also a convenient way for you to forget about what happened.
I haven't forgotten what's happened.
I just have no desire to dwell on it, that's all.
Kevin, what happened was a mistake of biology.
I know you think you can control everything We couldn't even control our surrogate.
What's that supposed to mean? I don't blame Michelle for what happened No, I think you do.
And until you realize that, we're never gonna be able to try again.
Do you have any idea what I've lost this year? Not just a baby.
Don't you understand? My best friend is on life support.
I don't wanna try again.
Kitty, I'm glad you could come in today.
We have been putting together names of possible people to take over at the RNC.
And you are on the short list.
Oh, my God, no.
No, no, no.
See, that is simply out of the question.
See, that would require me to spend a lot of time on the road and I can't afford to be away from Robert for that long.
Look, Kitty.
- I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, I - It's okay.
We understand what you're going through this year.
We were just hoping What? The Republican National Committee needs someone with your intelligence, your clear-headed thinking.
And, frankly, your compassion.
Well, we just think you're too good to waste.
Yeah.
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
I'm Why don't we do this? Why don't we call it a possibility? - So you'll think about it? - Yes.
I'll - I'll think about it.
- Oh, good.
- Great.
Great.
- Good.
Justin? Justin? Kitty told me you were here, I just wanna make sure you're okay.
Mom, where's Rebecca? Mom? She moved out a few weeks ago.
Tell me, Ma, you picked me up at the airport and you didn't tell me? - No, I didn't tell you.
- So this is better? For me to walk into my house and find my wife's stuff gone, Mom? I didn't wanna get into the middle of it.
What else did she say? - Why do I have to be the one to tell you? - Mom, please.
You know, Justin.
You know.
She said it was the accident, you going off to war again.
It was more than she could handle.
That's what she said.
I knew it.
You know, I mean, I knew it was gonna be rough.
I thought I was gonna be sleeping on the couch or maybe at your house.
I never Damn.
Justin, I'm sorry.
I'm I'm so sorry.
I feel like this is all my fault.
If I hadn't yelled at you and you hadn't gone back Look, I've got a lot of things I have to do, so I'll see you tonight? We're all meeting at the restaurant.
Scotty's and Saul's, about 8.
- Unless you think that's too late.
- I don't care, Mom.
Or at my house.
We don't have to go to the restaurant.
Doesn't matter.
I don't care where we eat.
I need you to leave.
I need to be alone.
I'm serious, go.
- Go, Mom.
- Okay.
I know it's boring, but I made lasagna again.
- Holly loves it.
- Oh, so do I.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
So how is she? You look tired.
Well, it's been a rough week.
I thought things were getting better.
Yeah, so did I, you know.
Then she forgets and it's like we're back to right after the accident.
David, I really think you should know that Justin is back.
Oh, great.
That's all we need.
Look, I don't wanna get involved, but if you could get Rebecca to call him No, Nora, she doesn't wanna talk to him.
I don't wanna be in the middle of it.
I don't.
David? What are you doing here? I brought you some more lasagna.
And David and I were talking.
Why? What do you want with him? We're friends, Holly.
We're all friends now.
Does William know that you're here? Holly, William's dead.
William died a number of years ago.
Nora just brought us dinner tonight.
I don't understand what is going on here.
You and Nora are good friends now, Holly.
Justin, her son is married to Rebecca.
Get that woman out of my house.
Oh, David, honestly, she's going to remember everything eventually.
No, Nora, she won't.
All she'll do is memorize the things she forgot.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
Go on.
I mean, tell me.
Did he seem distant or distracted? - Was he going to see Rebecca? - That's what he said.
- You guys think they'll work it out, right? - Yeah.
Mom's not upstairs either.
Hey.
Well, we have half an hour on the chicken.
Maybe she went to get some wine.
I was fine doing it at the restaurant, you know? Mom caught me upset and I think she freaked out.
I'd offer you some wine, but I can't find any.
Really? And you don't drink wine, obviously.
Sorry.
Is it weird? You know, being back? All right, don't be weird, all right? I made it home with all my fingers and all my toes.
- So just be normal, okay? All right, be - Yeah.
- Yeah.
No problem.
- Sure.
So I heard you had a meeting at the RNC? - I did.
- And did they offer you a job? Yes, they did.
- Are you gonna take it? - No, I'm not.
But I would take some wine if anybody can find it.
- I'm looking.
This is very weird.
- Yeah.
So how's the restaurant? Oh, we've been open for six months now.
- Well, how's the food? - It's amazing.
Absolutely incredible.
- She hasn't been since they opened.
- What? That is not true.
I've been.
- Really? - No.
Well, you know, I don't think Kitty's been either.
No, I was there.
Mom and I went for lunch over the summer, right, Scotty? You came in for coffee once.
Look, you know what? Everybody's been busy.
- So what? - Where is the wine? Sorry, I was just out getting some Anyway, they were out of it.
- So I'll do the salad.
Where's the wine? - Nowhere to be found.
Nora, the table is set and here's the wine.
Eureka.
I thought for a horrible moment that this house had run dry.
I have set the table twice and if this party moves any place else, you are on your own.
- Where's that Luc? - Probably taking his clothes off.
Kevin, that is not funny.
He will be here soon.
Something came up.
- Yeah, I bet it did.
- Kevin.
- You'll miss my jokes in France.
- France? - Yeah.
- I told you not to say anything.
- You didn't.
- Well, I meant to.
Wait a minute, you're moving to France? France? Wow, that's great.
There's a lot to do in France.
Great? Great? What, are you kidding, Mom? Great? Kitty, would you just slice some of these olives for me? - Sure, I'll slice olives.
- Here you go.
Okay, let's make a toast to our Justin, the hero.
- Welcome back, little brother.
- Thank you, Uncle Saul.
- How are you? - Good.
I'm good.
Ask him where his boyfriend is.
What? You have a boyfriend? - No, I don't have a boyfriend.
- Exactly.
You know what? We are not in junior high school, so would you please can it? I was gonna wait until after dinner, but what the heck? We're gonna be closing the Narrow Lake deal with Tevia Beverages in a few days.
Yep, she's not kidding.
- I've seen the contracts.
It's a great deal.
- It's a great deal.
Wait.
So that's what you're gonna do with Narrow Lake, is sell it? I thought you were gonna save the family? Well, Justin, you've been gone.
It's been a long year.
And the money will be really helpful to everyone.
Okay.
What are you gonna do with the money? Are you gonna try and get pregnant? Who, us? No.
That ship has sailed.
Ship? I'm sorry, I thought that was your dream.
Yeah, I'm confused too, Kevin.
Not now.
Please.
Okay, Kitty, what are you gonna do with it? What am I gonna do with the money? Well, I think it's obvious what I'm gonna do with the money.
Okay, I'm sorry, I'm really confused.
How is this money helping everyone? Listen, Justin, we have all gotten through this last year in our own way.
Now, I'm not saying that what you did wasn't heroic, but you can't come back here and judge us No, no, no.
No one's judging anyone.
- Well, that isn't true, is it, Justin? - Look, I'm just trying to help here.
I mean, I feel like after the accident, you guys all went to your room and shut the door and gave up.
I'm sorry if you feel that me helping my brothers and sister move on with their You're not helping anyone.
It sounds like you're trying to buy everyone off so you can go to France and forget any of this ever happened.
You just got back from hell, so I'm gonna let that go.
No.
No, don't let it go.
That's my whole point.
No one is talking to each other.
Mom, how are you letting this happen? - What would you want me to do? - Be the mother you were when I left.
You know, I was right.
We should have done this at the restaurant.
Maybe then, we What, we'd behave ourselves? No, that's the last thing we need to do.
We need to be in each ether's faces.
We need to be invested in each other.
We need to be Walkers.
You know, Kevin doesn't want a baby? Sarah's moving to France? And, Kitty, you know, forget it.
Forget it? Forget it? Forget it? What do you mean, forget it? What? What, all I'm trying to do is take care of my husband, Justin, which is more than you ever did.
Kitty, Kitty, don't do this.
What? What do you mean, "Kitty"? Mom, this is what he does.
This is what he does.
He runs away.
He run - No, no, Kitty, it's okay, you can say it.
- Okay, I will say it.
You You left him.
He was sitting in that car, he was bleeding, he needed you.
He needed help and you just left.
I left him because I needed to.
Because Holly needed me and because your husband and I knew it was the right thing to do.
He told me that night to leave.
He said, "Go, Justin.
I can wait for the ambulance.
" He said that because he knew he wasn't gonna make it and so did I.
We were two soldiers who made a choice that night.
And that's what I figured out over there.
And I think that's why I went back, to remember.
Well, I'm I'm very, very happy for you.
I'm very happy that your year was so productive, Justin.
But see, things haven't been quite so clear for me.
Okay, see, you don't understand what you're asking me to do.
I mean, what if it were Rebecca lying there? What if it were Paige, what if it were Cooper, what if it were Scotty? I mean, you are basically asking me to kill him.
And you know what? By the way, he's not a soldier.
He's just my husband.
And this is not a war story, Justin.
This is just my life.
So, Mom, I'm very sorry, but I'm not gonna stay for dinner, okay? You hungry? No, thank you.
Sorry it didn't go well.
I was just about to leave when you called.
Yeah, God.
He's right, you know? - Who's right? - Justin.
We were gonna take the money and run.
All the way to France.
A break from them could be a good thing.
Well, according to Justin, I already took a break.
We all did.
You know what? Wait, we don't have to move to France.
I grew up there.
There's nothing new to me.
It's not gonna fix what's wrong with your family.
I know.
Luc, what if this whole deal is a huge mistake? Your deal? That's crazy.
Is it? I mean, think about it, maybe Justin's right.
If we sell the land, there is nothing holding this family together.
No one walks away from $55 million.
Yeah.
No, you're right.
Okay, what if I go ahead with the deal, I sell the land, I take all the money, we put it in some kind of family trust? I don't touch it.
Okay, so that means we're not rich anymore? - Yes.
- Okay.
But I promise, it'll be a better year than the one we just had.
And who knows? Maybe you can extend your 15 minutes of half-naked fame to half an hour.
Look on the bright side.
At least Justin seems all right.
I know.
Maybe I've been in the habit of underestimating him, but I was convinced he was gonna come home with PTSD.
No, seriously.
Now I'm more worried about Kitty.
Oh, no.
- Is that a kid under the blanket? - That's not just a kid.
That's my client.
- That's a former client.
That's Mateo.
- Oh, what's he doing here? I don't know.
He's supposed to be at his father's.
This is not a good sign.
- Well, we can't just leave him here.
- Whoa, yes, we can.
I can't take in every client like a stray puppy.
This place would be like a kennel.
Maybe you're worried about the wrong person getting post-traumatic stress Don't start down that road.
No, you keep saying I don't know how much you've lost this year.
I do.
But I also know you're not handling it well.
He's a perfect example.
You're off the clock.
You're willing to let some boy sleep on the street who needs your help.
I mean, come on, Kevin.
Jeez.
Hey, would you shut up? What are you doing here? What's going on? Trying to sleep.
The damn garbage trucks make less noise than you two.
- Why aren't you at your father's? - Because it sucks there.
I tried to tell you, but he was standing right next to us.
He's drunk now anyway.
It's your call, Kevin.
- Come on.
- Can I take a shower too? Because One night.
And don't touch a thing.
Don't say it.
Don't say, "I knew you'd be here.
" It's too predictable.
Like me.
Well, you are anything but predictable.
Well, I'm doing what I always do.
Digging in my heels and not letting go.
It's a lot to let go of.
I can't even go in there tonight.
Do you know that every time I go in there, it always shocks me how much he looks like Robert? But it isn't him, is it? No.
No.
No.
Kitty, I'm sorry.
I know what it's like to lose a husband.
I know.
I just feel so backed up against the wall.
Lashing out at Justin like that.
I don't wanna be this person anymore.
Oh, sweetheart.
I know that he's never gonna get better.
I know that he's gone.
And I have wanted to say goodbye for so long, but I just I just can't do it.
Why? Because I don't know what to do without him.
It's not Robert that I'm afraid of losing anymore.
I think it's me.
You'll find yourself again.
I always get to this point and then I just can't say it.
What? Goodbye.
Goodbye, Robert.
"It was always right around the moon.
And then Harold made his bed.
" He got in it and drew up the covers.
"The purple crayon dropped on the floor and Harold dropped off to sleep.
" Oh, isn't that such a good story? Yes.
Guess what, buddy? I hate to tell you this, but it's time for you to go to bed.
- Bed time.
- Yeah.
- Come on, sweetie.
- No, I don't wanna go to bed.
I know you don't wanna go to bed, you have to.
Say goodnight to Uncle Justin.
- Thanks.
- Good night, Uncle Justin.
- High-five? Thanks, champ.
- Yeah.
Come on, baby.
Grandma's gonna be meeting you upstairs and I'm gonna be up in one minute, okay? Oh, well, thank you, Uncle Justin.
It was a beautiful service.
Yeah, it was.
There was a lot of great tributes to Robert.
Even from some Democrats.
Oh, you know, Robert would have loved your eulogy.
The Serenity Prayer.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
And the courage to change the things I can.
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Justin, I'm I'm sorry.
No, you did everything you could have done that night and I'm so sorry.
I ambushed you.
I came on too strong.
No, obviously, I needed it.
I never would have believed it, but it's true.
My baby brother came home and he knew that I was in trouble and he had the courage to tell me.
So thank you.
Do you know who you remind me of these last couple of days? - Who? - Robert.
Okay, guys, I think dinner's just about ready.
And your son is waiting for you upstairs.
He wants a good night kiss from Mommy.
Okay, I'm going.
I'm going.
I'll see you.
Come on, Justin, let's eat.
Wait, Mom, wait.
Come here.
I need to tell you something and I need you to listen to me.
Okay.
Thank you.
For what? For pushing me.
For getting me out of my miserable self and forcing me to go off to war and I got to do what I needed to do this whole last year.
You did that, Mom.
You hear me? - Mom? - Yes.
Then come home.
I did but you didn't.
We need our mother again.
We need the most overbearing, in your face, nosy, hovering, little - I beg your pardon.
- In other words Look at me.
The greatest mother in the entire world.
We need you.
Come home.
At the airport, you asked me if you'd grown.
You have.
- Wanna eat? - Yes.
Scotty, the food is insanely good and here we all are around the old dining room table again.
Robert would have loved this.
Okay, come on.
That is ridiculous.
Robert would have hated this.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
But he would have looked very good hating it.
Yeah, and no one would have known he was hating this.
He's a politician, he lied for a living.
All right, enough, let's have a toast.
Come on.
To Robert.
- Yeah.
- To Robert.
- To Robert.
- To Robert.
Well, like I said, it took a long time to get back here.
I did the right thing, I know that now.
I would have done it sooner if you'd been there to help me.
But you weren't.
But I I have this feeling that I'm gonna be okay.
I think we're gonna be okay.
