Doctor.

Dr. Montet.

I mean, what am I supposed to do, quit my job?

Why don't you ask her to quit?

Excellent. Then I'll be brought up

on charges of sexual harassment.

I didn't know you could s exually harass someone

-you've already slept with. -I said it's over.

You should trust me.

I think what Caroline's been trying to say

is she can't trust you.

Being around this other woman every day is like

a recovering alcoholic

going to happy hour every Friday after work.

I'm paranoid if I don't trust him.

But I violate my own gut feelings if I do.

-Tell that to Andrew. -How?

I can't even look at him.

I understand.

I'm afraid we have to stop now.

Um. We'll continue this next week, okay?

- Thank you, Dr. Montet.-

Two new messages.

First new message.

Danielle, this your mother.

I need for you to stop for green beans.

I'm making your father's mushroom green bean casserole

for our anniversary.

Next message.

Hello, baby. I'm at the Bon Temps.

Meet me if you can.

God! I miss you.

...appreciation.

Thank you, Grandma.

This is my anniversary now,

mine and granddaddy's. Now, well, thank you.

-Hey, Becca. - Hi.

-Hi, Mom. -Where were you?

Oh, the, uh, the great green beans search.

I was worried.

I've had water boiling for an hour.

I mean, that's ridiculous.

It'll only take five minutes to steam, Mom.

Oh, my Lord, Danielle.

This is way too many.

What am I gonna do with so many?

-What?

I had to rush over here to polish the silver.

Is Daddy even home yet?

No. But Jim's been here for like 45 minutes, you know.

No, I don't know.

How would I know if nobody tells me anything?

Hey.

-Hey.

Hey, check this out.

Mm-hmm.

What's this?

Lizzie Miles. Where'd you find this?

Ah, just blind luck.

Why is there music in the other room?

And they're dancing.

Oh, my goodness, he's dipping her.

Oh.

Oh, that deserves applause.

You are polite.

Oh, yeah, well, we'll be in the kitchen.

Don't let us interrupt you.

I'm, uh, sorry I was late.

My six o'clock had a crisis.

-Late? You're late. More like---Yeah.

What happened?

Oh, uh, two kids, husband's left.

She's threatening suicide.

Stop. Stop. You're making dealing with my

illiterate students too easy.

Hmm.

Mom, we're famished.

We'll eat when Daddy gets here.

-Becca, come, sit down.

Hey.

Well, I think we should start.

And then, Hank can take his good sweet time.

If Lois wants us to wait, we'll wait.

When's Grandpa getting home?

When he gets here.

That's what you always say.

Now, that's enough, Becca.

If he didn't work that hard,

we wouldn't be able to have something like a car.

He always comes home.

Worried about the weather.

Was it raining very hard, Danielle?

Um...

I'll be right back.

Hi. It's me.

I cannot believe I missed you.

Danielle?

No, no. I'll try later. I miss you.

Danielle.

Hey, darling.

Your mother's been looking for you.

Oh, well, seems we have something in common.

Happy anniversary.

Now, look, look. Let me show youwhat I bought her.

-Made in Russia. - Hmm.

-Cost me a lot. -I'm sure it did.

-Hey. -You scared me.

You disappeared. What's up?

Um. Him.

You've been up here, sharing.

Hello. Thank you.

Yeah.

-Hey, everybody. - Oh.

Hey, happy anniversary, Hank.

I had a heart attack, Dr. Campbell.

-I didn't go blind. -How can you watch this?

You really had a heart surgery.

Doesn't this bother you?

Oh, stop being a shrink for a second.

-- Well, it's getting late.

-Ready to hit the road? -Sure.

Where is everyone rushing off to?

Take your time.

Yeah, I got a...

stack of budding Hemingways to grade.

-Are you sure? -Mm-hmm.

All right. I'll leave as soon as I make sure

the operation was a success.

Happy anniversary, Hank.

Thanks, Jim.

- He's a great guy. -Yeah.

I don't understand your sister.

-Hmm? - Well, I mean, she...

gave up her teaching career, and for what?

Dad, she has a beautiful daughter,

and a rich dentist husband.

You did the right thing, Danielle.

I did? How so?

Well, I mean...

you know yourself better than Patty.

I mean, you-- You know,

you'd have a hard time being a good mother.

-Thank you, Dad. -No, I mean,

you and I are alike is what I'm saying.

I mean, your sister's in a rut.

-Oh, I wouldn't tell her that. -Who's telling her?

I'm telling you.

Am I interrupting?

No, uh...

great job on dinner, Mom.

Breathtaking green beans.

Oh, thank you.

And you'll be happy to know

that I am letting the pan soak.

Wow. Really living on the edge there, aren't we?

What's the name of that doctor there?

Quite a figure on her.

That's because she's an actress,Hank.

She's not an actual surgeon.

Oh! Jim left his book here.

I, uh...

I should get going.

Oh.

-Oh. Happy anniversary. - Oh.

One new message.

Hi, baby. I'm back at the Bon Temps.

I won't leave until I see you.

Been here long?

Where were you?

I had a meeting.

Tried your office.

-It was at the Esplanade Hotel.-Oh.

And did this meeting come with a room?

Unfortunately, not.

Just a long conference table.

That would do.

You hungry?

In a way.

Are you?

Very.

Do me a favor, Hank,

and ask Danielle to bring my book home with her.

It should be in the den.

She already took it. She left about an hour ago.

Okay. Thanks.

Come here. Come here.

Come here.

-We don't have time. -You drive me crazy.

Good boy.

-You're still awake? -Why wouldn't I be?

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Oh, uh...

"Barbara is Truley Ugley."

T-R-U-L-E-Y,

-U-G-L-E-Y. -Hmm.

"She should walk her fat butt into traffic."

I mean, is that real English?

Hmm.

Is there something that matter?

No. Why?

Uh. Just the long time with your dad.

I, uh, stopped at the drugstore.

You wouldn't believe how crowded it still is.

Hmm.

Oh, did your dad ask you to grab my book for me?

-Huh? -My book. Do you have my book?

Oh, yeah, here.

Great.

Um...

Must have fell out in the taxi.I've got to call him.

No, no, no. That-- that's okay.I'll call him in the morning.

-You sure? -Yeah.

-Are you gonna get that? -Uh. It's probably Mom.

Well, you should probably answer it.

-Yeah. - The book.

I put it in your shopping bag.

Wrong number.

Ow! Did you just turn on the water?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Honey, do me a favor.

Look for your book in my shopping bag.

It's on the floor, by the chaise.

Okay.

Oh, good. I thought I was losing brain cells.

No, you just got an awful lot on your mind.

What?

Any room?

You know, I'm so tired. I'll be out in two seconds.

Okay.

Morning.

-You look nice.

I do?

-Yeah.

-Oh. Oh, God. -Hey, hey.

-What? -Come here, come here.

- What? -Come here, come here.

- Oh. -Come here.

- Hmm.

I really like this cheerleadingthing you had going on here.

-Oh, yeah? -Yeah, I do.

You know what? I've got an early patient.

Uh-huh.

I'm not going to look in this first period, don't worry.

Hmm.

I can't, I got to--

Mm.

-What? -How are we gonna have a baby

if we never make love?

I just--

I've got a patient in crisis. I've got a lot on the line.

Yeah. Whatever, Danielle.

-Whatever? -Mm-hmm.

You don't believe what I'm saying?

Do you really wanna have a child?

Hmm?

You're ready?

I got to go.

Jim's right.

I think, maybe I'm not sure about kids.

Why do you think you're hesitant

about being a mother?

My mother...

is so...

so dependent, it drives me crazy.

And you think that's what-- what happened to you?

No. It's just...

I've been accused of being more like my father.

How do you think you are like your father?

We're both curious...

restless, adventurous.

Well, that might be true, but your father's lied

to your mother their entire marriage.

I mean, he's chronically unfaithful.

-We don't know for sure. -Danielle.

Well, we know...

we assume that he always has been, like his father.

We're just, uh,

way too dysfunctional to confront him.

Don't you think it's time that you should?

-Sorry. -You okay?

Yeah, um...

patient emergency.

I've gotta...

I should take care of this.

I got to go.

Hi.

-What's going on? -Nothing. Nothing.

-Hmm?

Don't you wanna make love?

-Hmm. -Really be with me?

Hmm?

Yes. Yes.

- Yes? - Mm-hmm.

But, uh, but what?

Do you think you're not cheating,

if we don't go all the way?

What are you talking about?

I wanna make love with you.

I wanna be with you.

Not like we're hot and we're in high school.

I want you in my arms.

I wanna be inside of you.

You still haven't told me why...

you don't wear a wedding ring.

And since when does this bother you?

I don't wear a ring, so I'm not really married.

-What's that got to do with you?-I don't sleep with my lover,

so I'm not really having an affair.

I don't wear a wedding ringbecause I don't want my patients

to know anything about my personal life.

It's a practical thing.

Well...

lie to everyone else, Danielle,but don't lie to me.

I never lie to you.

You just did.

Hey.

You startled me.

You, uh-- you want some tea?

No, thanks.

You wanna talk about anything?

No.

What?

Good night.

One new message.

Hey, um, whatever is going on between us,

I don't want it to end. Call me.

Oh, sorry.

I'm supposed to meet some friends for a drink.

Off.

I don't know where she could be, Francine.

-How about another one?- Oh, no, no, no. No.

I'm a cheap drunk.

Well, in that case, give me the check.

No, I'll have one. Yeah.

-- Yeah, I do. I do.

You know, I've always admired that ring of yours.

Where did you get it?

Well, actually, I didn't. Danielle did it.

What kind of ring did you get her?

She doesn't wear one.

What's this?

I heard what you said.

Let's do it.

-Is that a question? -No.

No, it isn't.

Lie down.

You're so beautiful.

Look at me.

Look at me.

-What? -Please.

What's wrong, baby?

What?

Hmm.

What, hmm?

Next time.

Okay?

One new message.

Hey, Francine and I decided

to stay and have dinner at Jacques-Imo's,

so are you gonna join us?

- Oh, shit. - Where are you?

We're waiting.

Yeah, she was.

-Jim Montet was here? - No.

-You're welcome to wait--

Uh. Okay.

-Jim? - No. It's Patty.

Jim is with us at the hospital. Where the hell are you?

Where's Hank Montet?

He's in emergency.

It's down the hall on your left.

Ugh.

I've got you, all right.

Hey.

-Danielle? - Shh, shh.

He's had another heart attack.

He needs a bypass.

- Oh, God. -Danielle, come closer.

Hank, please stay put.

Mr. Montet, we're ready for you now.

You'll just have to wait.

Mrs. Montet?

Uh. I need you to do something.

Okay?

Go to the store...

tell Julia...

that everything will be all right.

All right.

Go.

Mr. Montet.

I'll be right back.

Hank, where are you sending her?

- Hello? -Hello?

-Julia? -Yes.

This is Hank Montet's daughter,Danielle. Uh... My father

asked me to call you, and tell you that

everything's gonna be all right.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

This is unbelievable.

We should get back to Mom, not leave her alone.

Julia?

So now we have a name.

It will be okay, Hank.

Stop, please.

I reached the store.

Can we go now, Mr. Montet?

We can go.

Okay.

Um. I'm gonna go home and walk Montana, all right?

Be right back.

You don't have to.

Okay.

You awake?

Hmm?

How was he?

He pulled through.

Oh, that's great.

Sorry about missing dinner tonight.

Shh.

There's still, uh, smoking in the waiting rooms?

Don't ask me why.

Nursing supervisor to CICU East.

Nursing supervisor to CICU East.

How is he?

He just dozed off.

Transition team to O.R. Seven.

Transition team to O.R. Seven.

-Hello, Hank. - Hello, Carol.

Well, I knew you liked them young,

but isn't she just looked too young, even for you.

Daddy, she thinks we're on a date.

She's just a friend.

"You like them young"?

Well, I hardly know her. I sold her some furniture,

and now she's teasing me.

Teasing you?

You know, you sure are looking awfully growing up.

I bet she's just jealous because you're so pretty.

Ma'am?

Oh, nothing is too good for my birthday girl.

Thank you, Daddy.

This is so beautiful.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have to go to the little boys room.

Go ahead and start without me.

I am so sorry.

I was detained by an old business associate.

Hey, but I'm so hungry,

I could eat a whole birthday cake.

Candles and all, how about you?

Come on.

How is he?

Um...

I just sat there with him.

Well, that's good.

He didn't even know I was there.

Hmm.

Well, have you talked to him at all?

Oh, sure. Yeah.

"By the way, Dad, uh...

who's Julia?

Is that the mystery woman you've been sleeping

with all these years?"

If I asked him that, wouldn't I brought

everything up years ago.

Yeah, but you don't know how much time he has.

You have, uh, you have a chance now...

-to know who he is. -Maybe I don't wanna know.

-What does that get you? -What does knowing get me?

The honor of causing another heart attack for him?

That's-- That's emotional blackmail, Danielle.

It's giving him the license to do whatever he wants.

Don't ask Daddy the truth or it'll kill him.

I mean, the whole family is fed on that.

Do you know where he was when his heart gave out?

He was in bed with Julia.

-How do you know? -Told me in the E.R.

Ambulance picked him up at a hotel.

Did you tell my mother?

You think she doesn't know?

-Hey, hey, listen, relax.

No. You relax, all right?

Just leave me alone for a second.

You know what your problem is...

you refuse to face the truth about your father or yourself.

Screw you.

Somebody should.

-Hank? -No.

Mom, it's me.

Danielle.

-What's wrong? -Nothing's wrong.

I just wanted to come home.

Keep you company.

You don't know what it was like,between your father and me.

The love we had.

Hi, Jim.

Sorry I woke you, um... I'm at my parents'.

Oh, you didn't wake me.

I'm gonna stay here tonight, okay?

-Yeah. Do whatever you want.

What does that mean?

It means just what I said.

Jim, I am way, way too tired for your word games.

My father's dying.

Well, he's been dying as long as I've known him.

What's the matter?

Oh, nothing, Mom. Nothing. It's-- It's Jim.

Go back to sleep.

Okay.

It took her all night to fall asleep.

At least she fell asleep.

Go home. Don't upset him.

Oh, Mom, don't worry. It's not like that.

I know just what it's like.

Get some sleep.

That was really beautiful.

Muchas gracias.

So, where do you wanna go?

Honestly?

That's all I wanna know.

I wanna see my father.

So do it.

-It's the middle of the night.

It's the best time of the day.

Dr. Montet?

Yeah. Hi.

Um, I know it's late-- Early.

I just, uh, want to see my father.

He's been moved.

He has?

-Where to? -No one has reached you?

No.

Uh, your family's been notified...

your father passed away.

I'm sorry.

The good news is

the store has a great credit rating.

Do you really wanna keep it running?

Well, I'm confident in Julia.

She's been able to keep things going.

Your father trained her very well,

after what she's going through.

I have to pretend like he was just her boss.

Just her boss?

Here they are.

Julia?

Can you come in here a minute, please?

Are you gonna fire her?

She's in mourning, just like we are.

You are gonna fire her, right?

- Julia? - Um...

I just wanted to tell you that I've decided

to keep the store going.

Oh, that's great.

Um, I'm sure Hank would be happyabout that.

You don't have to give me notice, Mrs. Montet.

What do you mean?

I'm gonna keep you on.

Everything's a mess, I really need your help.

You know, Hank always talkedabout your window displays,

and how they really did bring people into the store.

So, unless you just wanna look for another job...

No-- Uh, no. I just, um...

I'm-- I'm surprised, that's all.

Thank you.

There's just one thingthat I wanted to ask you about.

Um...

I can't figure out what these receipts are for.

I, um...

I'm sorry, I don't recognize them.

Excuse me.

What are those? What just happened?

He cheated on her, too.

What?

That was so mean of me.

I don't know why I did that.

Maybe, uh,it's completely natural feelings

of betrayal, revenge. Mistresses, girlfriends...

he probably furnished

-their apartments, too. -He was kind to people.

I don't see why you have to diminish him.

You're holding proof of years of infidelity.

Why do you have to put a halo on him?

You know, you're angry at him for dying and leaving you.

I'm angry at him for distortingmy entire view of life.

Maybe it's me I'm really angry at.

I've been seeing someone, some musician I met.

And the, uh...

The weird part is I wish I told my father about it.

And why do you thinkthat is?

To blame him, to torture the man.

So, you're having this affair

to get back at your father?

Affair? No. I-- I haven't had sex.

So?

So, I have convinced myself that, um...

That I'm not being unfaithful to Jim...

because I haven't had intercourse.

We made a pact.

What kind of pact?

That there'd be no more affairs,

that I'd have no more affairs. I had one early on...

in our marriage.

That...

nearly destroyed us.

So, I've...

learned to be like my father, only better.

Isn't that a laugh?

So, this affair, or whatever you wanna call it,

is a way to punish your father...

or is it an excuse, Danielle, a cover for your affairs?

-What affairs? -Commitment, closeness.

Is it you need an extra man...

so you don't risk real love...

and intimacy?

Hi, it's Miguel. Sorry to miss you.

Leave a message, please, after the beep.

-Miguel, uh,

meet me at the Bon Temps tonight at eight.

I need to talk to you.

-Miguel?

Miguel, I'm buying you a cellphone.

Hey, Danielle. I thought that was you.

What are you doing in this neck of the woods?

Uh, Eric, hello.

This is Sam, Sam Rogers.

Sam, this is my lovelysister-in-law, Danielle Montet,

Dr. Danielle Montet, therapist.

Nice meeting you. Uh, I'm late getting home. I've got to go.

What's the rush? Why don't you join us

-for a drink? -No. I-- I promised Jim

I-- I'd be home. It's okay.

See you.

Danielle! Danielle! Please, Danielle, Danielle.

-Let me explain, please. -Let go.

She's an old friend.

-It just happened. -You let it happen.

It meant nothing.

You're right, you're right. It meant nothing. Let go.

Please let go.

Hey.

Hey.

Hmm. What are you looking at?

You wanna see something incredible?

-Incredible. Look. -Mm.

-What am I looking at? - Well, you're looking

at the moon and it's doing a dance session

-between Earth and Saturn. -Wow.

-That's amazing.

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh.

Oh, that is once in a lifetime up there, huh?

Yeah.

Hmm.

I miss you.

All right.

-What is this about? -Kiss me.

-Out here? -Mm.

Three new messages.

First new message.

Call me. Let me explain.

Next message.

When can I talk to you, Danielle?

I'm going crazy.

Next message.

Call me now. It's urgent.

There are no more messages.

- Hello? -Patty, it's me.

-What's wrong? - Eric's been going on

about some guy he saw you with the other night.

-He wants to tell Jim.

We have to cancel dinner.

-Hey. -Hey.

Do you think he saidanything?

I don't know. Let's hope not.

I can't believe you couldn't talk him out of dinner.

I didn't wanna make too big a deal out of it.

All right. Here they come.

Talk something about...

What's up with your hair?

Really?

Oh. Hello.

I asked for a single,

-he gave me a double. -Oh, good.

Two best looking women here.

- Yeah. Anywhere. - Oh, thank you.

Your wife was just telling me I need a new do.

What is she talking about? Look who's talking.

-Look who's talking. -Oh.

-That's mean. -Eric?

I mean, that you have the kind of hair that catches

-a guy's attention. -And your wife doesn't?

What I'm saying is Sam said you looked like

a real tigress with your friendthe other night.

-What friend?-It wasn't a friend. It was, um,

I ran into one of my patients.

Well, you must get scared of your patients.

Why is that?

-Was he bothering you? -He is off his meds.

I'd put him back on. He seemed pretty pissed.

He's shaky. That's normal.

- Oh. -That's totally normal.

Transference, huh?

-Transference. -Transference.

-It's a medical term. -Transference is...

-Where did you guys run in-- -...a big word for you, Eric.

Where did you guys run into each other?

Oh, we ran into each other down in the quarter.

Oh.

When was that?

Tuesday night.

Tuesday?

Oh.

Oh.

That's the night she makes house calls.

If you have to know, I was down there

getting something for you, a surprise.

-That is sweet. - Mm-hmm.

On Royal Street.

-Well, there you go. - Yup.

Case closed.

-No, Eric. Come on. -What?

What? I'm sure I'm not the onlyone who's thirsty here.

-I'm fine. - The hostess

has been eyeing us for, like, the last half hour.

Hey. I-- I tell you what,why don't we go up to our place

-for a night cap? -I'm there.

-No, we can't. - Yeah?

-We could go. What time is it? -What you mean? It's me.

No, no, no. Forget about the time.

Just one drink.

Headache?

Yeah. Two glasses of wine.

Pathetic, huh?

All the time I've lived in this town,

I can't understand how someone could listen to jazz.

Eric, you got to try a little harder to understand

something that at first doesn't make sense.

I think I'm gonna go lie down.

Okay.

So, how many Miguels were there?

Uh... one other.

Did Jim know?

-He's no fool. -No.

But you know he is crazy about you.

I'm not so sure about that tonight.

Come on. Can you imagine the two of you not together?

No.

That's the sick part.

So, you turned into Daddy...

and I'm Mommy.

I don't know how Daddy...

lived with the stress.

-Well, he couldn't. -Mm.

-Grab that.

It's Miguel again.

You don't wanna talk to him?

- And say what? - You're the shrink.

I have to deal with it.

I do. I have to deal with it the sooner, the better.

How's the patient?

Oh, um...

a little better.

The cloth, do you want me to re-wet it?

And-- And then I got to

-drag Eric home. - No, no, no,

-no, no. Forget it. I'll do it.-No, it's not necessary.

Um, I'm gonna help her get Ericin the car.

No need to rush off.

It's so nice to see you.

-You, too. -Yeah.

- I don't feel so good. - I know.

You're gonna have a good night tonight.

-Watch your head. - I got it.

All right. You should get inside.

Oh. Oh.

One new message.

Almost there.

Let's go.

-The cell. - What?

I left it on the chair. I didn't turn it off.

-Call me in the morning. -Yeah.

Hello, baby. I need to see you.

Jim, I'm, uh... I'm gonna head up to bed.

Eric's something, huh?

Oh, yeah. I'd say.

-What? -I think he's a lush.

Aren't you gonna answer that?

Uh, it's probably Patty.I'll talk to her in the morning.

Oh, you better see.

Why? I'm tired.

Well, you two are pretty close these days.

Yeah. Yeah. It makes me happy.

Since Dad died, we've gotten much closer.

Oh, it's probably what she's so upset about.

- When? - When? Earlier,

when you guys were talking earlier,

-having a conversation. -Oh.

She and Eric are having a hard time.

She's embarrassed for you to know how messed up things are.

-That's ridiculous. -You know how she is.

No, no. I mean because of what a joke our own marriage is.

-What do you mean? -What is the matter with you?

Or-- Or is it just-- Is it genetically impossible

-for you to tell the truth? -What are you talking about?

-What are you talking about? -What happened?

-You tell me what happened. -Nothing.

Would you stop humiliating me, Danielle?

I don't have to put up with this-- This crap.

The truth is is that you're not just like your father,

-you're worse. -What's that supposed to mean?

At least he didn't pretendto be something that he wasn't.

Jim. Jim, I'm not seeing anybody

if that's what you mean, are you?

Not everyone has to sleep around

to feel like they're worthy of being on this planet.

Oh, I see. So you just gaze into outer space.

Jim, talk to me.

I'm through here... baby.

Hello, baby. I need to see you.

I'm not giving up my placereal soon.

It's always me who keeps paying.

I took her to see the Revival...

It's-- It's all right. You can pay me next time.

Oh. Thank you.

-Patty? - You screening calls?

Miguel keeps calling.

I can't focus on my patients.

And Jim won't return my calls.

You've got to be clear with Miguel and end it.

Yeah. I know.

But for now, just hang in there.

Just do your job. It'll take your mind off your problems.

I'll call again in 50 minutes.

-Forty-five. - Forty-five it is.

Okay.

- Yeah. - Oh, that's good.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

This is your favorite Martini and this is, uh--

Thanks for the drink.

Oh, see, I, uh... I like the way you play.

Let me get you one.

It's on me.

So, where do you...

pull all that stuff out?

Or is this just another night on the job?

Oh, tonight, I'm broke.

I can't talk so I just play.

Seemed like you had a prettyserious talk before.

She was beautiful.

Don't tell me you got so many you don't even remember her.

No.

I remember her.

Who was she?

-She's a smart one. -Hmm.

-Smart and sexy. -I messed up.

Why is that?

She's got a husband,

and she wanted me to be faithful to her.

-Maybe she's in love with you. -No, no, no, no, no.

-It's not about that. -Well...

what's it about? Hmm?

Wanting what you can't have.

So you want her back?

So many questions. You a shrink, too?

No.

No, I'm not.

I'm just an interested party.

Interested in what?

In what kind of a loser my wifeis sleeping with.

-Yeah. You, too, amigo.

Remember this one?

Oh, yeah.

Danielle...

do you remember her?

-You loved her.

-I do. - Oh.

-You'’ve got so much stuff. - I know.

Why don't you let us help?

Your father was a great letter writer.

"My precious angel, I love you so much...

I want you so..."

Ma, don't stop.

May I?

Danielle. Look, just--

"I wanna devour you with my body.

Consume you, love you...

be with you forever."

-He was so passionate. -That's enough.

I don't want you girls to go through this.

Your father is very particular.

He was very private.

-Danielle... -No, I-- I promise.

I've gotta get going.

-Bye-bye.-Bye. All right, bye. Thank you.

-Bye. -Okay, bye.

Try not to put your weight on it.

Yeah. Joe, thanks for getting up.

I feel like such an idiot.

Patty, come give us some support

while I go in and set things up.

- Okay. - I've got to take

-a few pictures. - Yup.

Sit down.

Here.

All right.

-Are you still late? -For what?

Oh, that's stress.

Yeah, well, that's what I said with Becca.

Can you do me a favor?

Take a pregnancy test, before you have X-rays done.

Jim?

What are you doing here?

You all right?

What happened?

Oh, I, um...

slipped and twisted my ankle.

-How? -Oh, don't make me tell you.

But if you could change a, um, bulb in the bathroom...

it might ease the pain a little bit.

Where is the rest of it?

Here.

I'm pregnant.

We are.

You and me.

What you and me?

I ran into your lover.

Jim, he was never my lover.

-I never slept with him. -No, no, no.

-I don't wanna hear it. -I know

it's hard for you to believe anything I say right now,

but it's the truth.

What about the others?

Did you not sleep with them either?

It was never about that.

If you listen to yourself, you can't even tell the truth.

Jim.

Jim, stop, please.

It's over with him.

I made a horrible mistake.

I miss you. I miss you so much.

I just want us back together, okay?

I know how badly I've messed up.I know I hurt you, I'm sorry.

I trusted you once.

I am so stupid.

I thought that somehow, some way I could...

love you enough.

No more.

I'm not gonna...

stand around and end up like your mother.

What's that supposed to mean?

You figure it out.

Jim, this baby is yours.

We made it that night under the stars.

Our little love child, huh?

That's ironic, isn't it?

Once I thought I would do

just about anything to have a child with you.

Who is it?

Dr. Ruth, Ma. Who do you think it is?

- Hey, sweetie. -Hi.

-Hi. How are you? -Starved.

-Well, you look starved. -I do?

Uh-huh.

-Wow, this looks great. -Thank you.

Don't pick.

It's not me picking, Ma.

-It's the baby. - Aw.

Well, dinner won't be for a while.

- Hmm. -Why don't you go upstairs,

take a little nap?

Yeah. Maybe I will.

I can't believe how sleepy I feel.

That's good. You're supposed to feel like that.

Just don't put those shoes on my bed.

Darling Lois...

I want us to share our lives together,

but I wonder if you can be happy with me.

I know myself.

I'm not a man to be faithful to one woman.

It's not me.

I promise I will love you and honor you above all women.

Only you.

Build our lives together and raise a family.

I will never leave you.

Will you come with me?

Love always and forever,

Hank.

Honey? Honey.

Let me show you a trick, okay?

-I'll teach you all my tricks. -What do you mean?

Why limit yourself, honey?

When you can have it all?

Why do you look so shocked, huh?

I'm not.

Of course you're not.

You're my girl.

What does this mean?

"I know myself.

I'm not a man to be faithful to one woman."

Hmm?

I asked you not to open that.

You knew what you were getting into,

is that what this means?

It means that your father always loved me.

And that he was honest about who he was.

-And I accepted that. -You accepted it?

Why would you accept it?

Hmm?

I really need to know why would you accept that?

Why didn't you say something?

Scream, put your foot down, tell me he was bastard?

Didn't you want more?

I wanted your father.

His way or no way?

-Is that it?

You remember what he was like.

-He brought light into a room.

He taught me how to lie, Ma.

We all lied.

You worshipped him when you were little.

Well, I'm not little anymore.

.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, I didn't mean to hurt you.

I-- I want something different...

for my child. I want...

I want an honest marriage if it's not too late.

Thanks for meeting me.

Yeah.

Sounded like you could use a friend.

Read that.

I-- I wanted my mother...

I needed my mother to say something, do something...

tell me it was wrong.

It was wrong how my father conducted his life.

That she wouldn't stand for it so we wouldn't have to.

You were right.

My mother knew, all right.

And I was like him.

I didn't realize how much.

I...

I want things simple between us.

Come home.

Come here.

No, uh-huh.

-Answer the phone. - I don't want to.

- No, I want you to. - Why?

Because every time the phone rings,

I don't know who it is.

And I wonder why you don't answer it.

-Answer the phone. - Okay.

Hello?

Mom, Mom, I gotta call you back, okay?

Yeah.

You keep your story straight.

You don't believe me?

That was my mother.

Yeah, you remember which one I am?

Jim, stop.

No, did your lover and you, did you--

Did you sleep here in this bed?

Our bed?

After you guys had sex,

did he nestle right here in my spot, huh?

No one was ever here.

No one was ever here.

Well...

-everyone was here. -Jim.

Oh, honey, people in bed with us.

No wonder we could never make love.

Jim, do you wanna know the real reasons

I was afraid of making love?

Yes, I do.

I thought that if we got that close...

it would hurt too much when it didn't last.

And I knew how badly I was messing things up.

And I was afraid of getting pregnant.

Well, that would have cramped your lifestyle.

No, no.

I felt...

like I didn't deserve to be a mother.

How about now?

It's-- It's different now.

How can I believe anything you ever say?

I can't make you trust me, Jim.

But I love you.

I need you to know that.

Please stay.

Yeah, I'd like to stay.

A lot.

I'm not ready.

We will go back to...

Grandma, where should I sit?

Well, darling,why don't you come around here,

sit near the kitchen so you can help me,

and you know what, we'll put Aunt Danielle down

at the end of the table,

because she is the birthday girl.

How old do you think I'm gonna be

before she stops calling me "the birthday girl"?

It's good to be the birthday girl.

-If only all heart attacks... - There she is.

Dad's favorite surgeon.

"Oh, she looks nice in those scrubs."

"What a figure on her."

Aunt Danny, Aunt Danny.

-Aunt Danny. - What?

Grandma needs you.

-She does, right now? -Yeah.

Okay.

Come snuggle with me.

Come on.

But Grandma needs our help.

She needs our help?

What's the matter?

Something always has to be the matter?

Well...

Stick out your tongue.

-What? -Just mind your mama.

What are you doing? What's this?

Hey.

Hey.

You look, um...

Better?

Beautiful.

Happy birthday.

S-- Sorry I missed your party.

I didn't know you were invited.

Yeah, for some reasonthey still like me around here.

They love you around here.

Open it.

Was this yours?

Yeah.

I, uh... I wanna be there...

when our child sees us for the first time.

We'd like that a lot.

Hey. Check this out.

George Louis? Where'd did you find that?

Just blind luck.

That's so good, real good.

Becca, look at you.You got some steps, too, honey.

Dance with me.

Little dance machine.

Here we go.

Oh! Oh, oh, oh. oh.

- I see now. - Woo, Becca.

All my girls are dancers.I see that.

That's my girl.
