Original subtitles

- Are you OK? - I'm nervous.

Yeah, that's normal. Can I hold your hand?

- It's a little sweaty. - I don't care about that.

I've had a good life, haven't I?

Yes, you have and it's not over yet.

I had a dream that the doctor told me that I was gonna die.

- A dream doesn't make it so. - Most of my dreams come true.

That's ridiculous.

You're not acknowledging the power of my dreams.

Ladies, sorry to keep you waiting.

It has been a little crazy out there this morning.

- Is it lung cancer? - Grace, please.

I mean, I know it's lung cancer.

I started smoking when I was 14. What else could it be?

I'm really sorry that I wasted everybody's time.

- Mom, wait. No, Mom, please! - Grace!

Well, 68's a pretty good run.

I mean, I drank, I... I smoked. I...

I ate pretty much anything I wanted to.

There's no reason for anyone to feel sorry for me.

I was one of the lucky ones until I got this lung cancer.

Mom. Mom, please let the doctor speak, OK?

Grace, please. You don't have lung cancer.

I know that there's something wrong with me.

A person knows their own body

better than any doctor ever will.

- There is something wrong. - What is it?

Well, Grace, this is a little complicated,

so I'm gonna walk you through it.

- You have leukemia. - Oh?

Now, this is a very serious disease,

but you actually don't have any symptoms yet.

Well...

We will monitor your blood levels

every six months,

but there is a very real chance

that you might die of something else entirely

before the leukemia ever presents itself.

Thank you.

How are you doing, Mom? You OK?

I'm still processing it all.

We will get through this. This is not a death sentence.

Wha... What are you doing?

I was gonna quit if it was lung cancer.

Well, smoking is how you got leukemia, Mom.

You heard what he said.

I'll probably die from something else

before this ever gets me.

He said you might.

What are you doing?

I need something to comfort me after what I just heard.

I am here to comfort you, Mom. That is why I am here.

You can't just quit smoking after 50 years.

A shock to the system like that could give me a stroke.

Do you wanna give your mother a stroke?

Would you let me make you some lunch? You're getting too skinny.

That is not true.

Or we could go for some ice cream.

I don't have time today, Mom.

Hey, Mom, you're not fooling anybody, OK?

- Can you get rid of that? - Get rid of what?

Is Sarah still driving you crazy?

You know, she's just stressed.

Well, make her go down to city hall and get married.

She wants a proper wedding.

Well, she should have thought of that

before she was eight months pregnant.

I have everything under control. Don't you worry.

Just come in for a quick slice of my pecan pie.

I have to get to Mark's therapy session.

This is something you do together?

No, not usually. But Mark says the doctor wants me there today.

- Why? - I guess I'll find out.

You should stop paying his rent.

Mom, what good would it do if he was homeless?

- He could move in with you. - He doesn't wanna do that.

- Well, then, he could move in with me. - Yeah, that'd be great.

Sit around playing poker all day with you and your gals.

There's a lot of life lessons you can learn playing poker.

Mom, he has addiction issues.

I don't think we need to add gambling to that list.

It's not gambling if you know how to play.

- It's leukemia. - Hooray!

- You said it was lung cancer for sure. -

Turns out you can't always trust your dreams.

Let's go to the casino and celebrate.

- Yes, let's do that. - Mom, I gotta go.

What? Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I thought I was making you a sandwich.

- Next time. - Well, don't let those kids run you ragged, Wanda.

OK, I will check in on you later.

Hey, Mark. Hi. Listen, I'm running a little late. I'm sorry.

There's an emergency with your sister, um,

and I'm not gonna have time to pick you up, OK?

So I'll just meet you there.

- Sweetie. - Mom.

Honey, sweetheart, what happened?

- It's been over 10 hours. - What has?

It's probably because of all the junk food I eat,

or because, you know, the shocks on Eugene's truck are so bad.

Sometimes when he's driving, it's like you might as well be riding a horse.

Honey, what?

He still wants to have sex,

like, all the time.

And I just... I know that's what's done this.

- Done what? - This.

What, honey? I don't feel anything.

That's because the baby hasn't kicked in over 10 hours.

Oh, Sarah, honey.

Oh, Mom, Mom, I killed my baby. I killed my own baby.

- Sarah, it's OK. Shh. - It's OK? How could you...

How could you say that? It's not gonna be OK.

Why don't we just wait to see what the doctor says, honey?

- I am sure... - Mom, it's been 10 hours.

10 hours is a long time.

Sweetheart, babies sleep. They sleep a lot.

- Where is Eugene? - Um, he's at work.

I left him a message and I told him that the wedding is off.

The dress is almost finished. We have the church.

You know you want this wedding, honey.

I'm only marrying Eugene because...

because I got pregnant.

And now that I've killed my own baby...

- Honey, please stop that. - It doesn't really matter anymore.

- While I was waiting for you... - Mm-hm.

I made a list of 25 things that I should be doing

rather than sewing booties.

- You don't sew. - It's a metaphor.

All right, sweetheart, why don't I just go see what's taking so long, OK?

You stay here, and I'll be right back, OK?

No, Mom. Mom, Mom.

I think I... I think I did something really wrong here, and...

'Cause I kind of do everything wrong, don't I?

Sweetheart, sweetheart.

It's really your fault, because...

you never taught me and Mark

how to be real people, to live a real life.

And now I'm supposed to raise a littler person.

And it doesn't matter anymore because my baby is...

Are you OK? You OK?

Oh, Mom.

There is your strong boy.

Now he's just showing off.

OK, let's go. It smells like sick people in here.

All right, sweetheart.

You wanna call Eugene, tell him that the wedding is back on?

I've already canceled it, like, a dozen times.

I'm sure he's used to it by now.

Are you glad that you had me and Mark?

What kind of question is that?

Even after we turned out like the way we did?

A crackhead and an unwed mother?

Listen, Mark is doing much better.

We're about to get you wed.

- And you like Eugene? - Yes. He's a good man.

He's gonna make a good father, good husband.

He's kind of dumb, isn't he?

Eugene is not dumb.

I thought that if I married somebody

that wasn't all that smart

that I could get him

to do anything I wanted him to,

but it's not really working out like that.

Listen, you want a partner to go through life with.

Eugene has a good heart. You know that.

Hey, uh, don't tell him all that stuff I said inside there.

No, honey, of course not.

And the baby's fine. That's really all that matters.

Yeah, that and having the perfect wedding.

And the wedding.

I know you think this wedding is stupid.

- No, I do not. - You might be right.

I'm so pregnant that when I toss the bouquet,

the baby might poke an arm out and try to catch it.

Listen, your father and I are very happy

to put this wedding together for you, honey.

Oh, yeah, 'cause I see Dad doing so much.

Listen, he's paying for half of it.

As long as he does that, I'm happy to do the rest.

Watch your feet.

Great.

Ay, ay, ay.

OK, hold on. Let me give you a hand.

I'm fine. I've got it. I got it.

Sarah. Sarah, what's going on?

- What are you doing here? - I got your message.

I couldn't understand a word that you said.

You sounded really panicked. What happened?

Nothing, I just said that the baby was dead

and I'd never marry you in a million years.

- OK, honey, I got... - All right. But are you OK?

Baby's fine. I'm fine. Wedding's back on.

- Don't be such a drama queen. - Honey, I gotta go.

- I'll see you later. - I love you, Mom. Bye.

If you're off work, though,

could you go to that place I like

and get me that meatball sub?

- See you, Eugene. - All right, Wanda.

Bye, Wanda.

I'm sorry. The receptionist said I could just come right in.

- Sure. It's fine. - Wow. You got your hair cut.

- I didn't get my hair cut. - Yeah. I can see you got it cut.

I didn't get it cut. I cut it myself.

Wow. Why?

- Um, I'm sorry. - It kept getting in my eyes.

- Can... Can we, um... - OK. Yes.

Where were you?

There was an emergency with your sister. Sorry.

I'm sure that that's not true.

She was at the hospital, Mark, so...

I mean, I'm sure that she thought

that there was an emergency.

But I'm sure it was nothing.

OK, I'll tell you what. Let's focus.

You know, I had to ride

my neighbor's bike to get here.

OK, well, it's a nice day outside.

I'm sure a bike ride probably did you some good.

Did me some good. Mom, listen, look, I agree to come to these.

Most of the time I'm talking to Dr. Sherman

about my abandonment issues or whatever.

And then I have to come in here today and explain to him

that my mom is abandoning me for my sister.

And this happens over and over again.

Like there was the time two months ago where I needed you,

and you had to drive to Sarah's to go scrape up a dead squirrel

that was three streets down from where she lives.

But just knowing that its flattened body's out there

makes Sarah hyperventilate and then she can't concentrate

on the cooking shows she watches all day,

even though she doesn't cook.

OK. She likes food, Mark.

Hey, I like oxygen.

I don't watch a channel devoted to air all day.

Mark, she was at the hospital.

I had to go and check to see if she was all right.

Mom, I had to ride my neighbor's

12-year-old daughter's bike here.

OK, Mark, we are both here now,

so how about we don't waste any more of Dr. Sherman's time?

- Thank you. - I'm sorry.

Thank you, Wanda.

And it's so interesting that you...

that you actually, uh, uh, said it exactly like that.

Uh, how do you mean?

I've decided, uh, that Mark and I

are going to end his therapy as of today.

Oh. OK. I mean, that's good news, isn't it?

Well, we're here, Mark and I, um,

to talk about the issues that he has to move past

so that he has a chance

to have the best life that he possibly can.

- Yeah, OK. - OK.

So, Wanda, let me ask you,

did Mark spend five years in the army

fighting in Afghanistan?

Why would you waste all of that time, Mark?

You have been seeing this guy for more than six months.

- He got paid. - I don't care about Dr. Sherman.

Don't you wanna get better?

- There's nothing wrong with me. - Oh.

OK, I've had a few... meltdowns...

- Yeah. - In the past.

In a crowded pool, at a, uh, crowded, uh, mall.

I just don't like crowds that much.

Mark, don't. Give me this thing.

Mom, I'm fine. The medication is working.

Why are you so mad?

Because you only get this skinny

when you stop taking your medication.

- Can I drive? - You haven't answered my question.

You didn't ask a question. You made a statement.

Have you stopped taking your medication, Mark?

Can I drive? I wanna show you something nice.

I got a million things I gotta do.

You have time to see something nice.

You'll like this.

If I found another therapist,

would you agree to go?

- Yeah, sure. - You promise not to lie to them?

I'd say yes, but I'd hate to have to lie to you.

We could go together.

What, like couples therapy?

Mark, please take this seriously.

Let's just enjoy this drive, please.

Where are we going?

I told you, it's a surprise.

I don't love surprises.

What are we doing here?

I work here.

Doing what?

Come inside.

Inside.

Hey, boys.

Mom, this is Buddy, Maisie, Arturo.

They are the best. Hey, guys, bathroom?

- Whose house is this? - Come on, boy.

It's great, right?

Go on.

Yeah, so it's not technically a real, real job,

but I get to stay here for free while I take care of the dogs.

For how long?

Two months starting today.

So who... who actually lives here? How do you know them?

You worry too much, Mom.

Yes, I am your mother. That's my job.

Well, I've been good for a year or so.

A year?

Nine months, give or take.

So why did you cut your hair so short?

There's ticks out here. I thought it'd be easier with short hair.

You don't believe me.

Well, at the doctor's, you said you cut your hair

because it was getting in your eyes.

Yeah, that was a lie.

- So, then, this is the truth? - Yes.

Why do you make them sound the same?

All right, Mom, I'm fine.

I'm actually doing really good. Look.

Hey, can you, uh, return that bike to my neighbor's house?

Sure. Who is it?

I don't know. Some guy.

Some guy? All right, well, he'll be easy to find.

You know I'm horrible with names.

He lives above me in seven. He said he knows you, actually.

- How does he know me? - I don't remember.

I'm also terrible at remembering things that people tell me.

What is it you think you're good at, Mark?

We'll see.

Hey, Wanda.

Hi. Yes, I'm, uh, returning this for Mark.

Oh, oh, you brought back Kimmy's bike.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

But you didn't have to bring it all the way up here.

We usually leave it downstairs.

You don't... You don't remember me.

No... Uh... No, I do. Kind of.

- Kind of. - Uh...

No, I'm sorry. Not really. I'm sorry. I don't.

Albert Newman from high school. Come on. Same face.

Little... Little Albert Newman?

You... You were like a stick figure in high school.

Smaller, yeah.

It looks like you're wearing,

like, body armor or something.

Well, I got divorced a few years ago,

and I... I didn't know what to do with myself,

so one day I decided to go to the gym.

Ah. And you ate all the weights.

- You are still funny. - Me?

Yeah, yeah. You were very funny back in high school.

- I was? - Yeah, you were.

Oh, hold on, hold on.

Oh! Agh!

What you got going on in there?

Kimmy's school, you know, they have a parent come in and, you know,

cook a meal for the kids.

So I thought that I would, uh, I would bake something,

you know, some kind of dessert.

But I keep burning everything

or everything breaks apart, you know.

I don't know what I was thinking. I can't cook.

- When... - I don't know what I'm gonna do.

When are you supposed to do this?

Tomorrow, after my shift at the firehouse.

All right, don't look so panicked.

It's gonna be A-OK. I have a plan.

- Hello. - Hey.

I hope it's OK that I'm waiting for you here.

Uh, don't you have a class to teach?

I was supposed to have office hours,

but I stuck a note on the door that there was an emergency.

Oh. What was the emergency?

The emergency is that I needed to see you.

- No one's watching. - It is a very nosy neighborhood.

- Believe me. - OK, so let's go inside.

All right, but I have to get ready for work,

so no, you know, no funny stuff.

No, quit it.

Oh, my goodness. That was amazing.

You're fucking amazing.

Thank you.

It's like whatever my body wants,

your mouth and your fingers anticipate it.

And it's all connected.

And it sends me higher and higher

until I feel like I'm gonna pass out.

But then you bring me back into my body again,

and I feel every wave and shimmer,

and I feel like I'm gonna melt through this bed,

through the floor, down into the center of the earth.

That's... That's so... vivid.

- Do you not feel the same way? - No, I do, I do.

I just don't have, um, as many words as you, I guess.

You don't need 'em.

How come we never go to your house?

I don't mind coming here.

I know, but I've never seen where you live.

My place is a mess.

I'd like to see where you live, maybe, I don't know,

meet some of your friends.

My friends are the worst. You would hate them.

Then why are you friends with them?

They're not even... They're just people who teach in the same program I'm in.

I'm not even gonna see them very much longer anyway,

because I just heard back from BU.

Why are you just telling me this now? What did they say?

They offered me the job.

Sophie, that's wonderful news.

I'm very excited.

And I think you should come with me.

- Come with you to Boston? - Yeah, why not?

What would I do in Boston?

We could find a place together.

What would I do for money?

Can't you do bookkeeping there?

And what about my kids?

Your kids are grown-ups, Wanda.

They are at a very vulnerable time in their lives right now.

So am I. So are you. Isn't that what life is all about?

I think...

There's an old man and, like, three children.

OK. It's all right. That's Henry. Hmm.

Wow. OK. Let's, uh...

Let's give Wanda a little... a little private time.

She's awesome.

You always been a lesbian?

It's a recent thing.

Careful! Easy... Watch the paint.

The boys are getting so big.

- Did you ever sleep with Cindy? - With who?

Cindy. Whatever. The neighbor.

She lived in the house behind ours.

- Cindy Asher? - Yeah.

You guys used to lie in the sun together,

put lotion on each other.

- No. - No?

- No. - That's too bad.

Yeah, it sounds like maybe

you wanted to sleep with Cindy Asher.

- Could that be it? - I will take the Fifth on that.

Does Marshall know you're sleeping with a woman?

He broke his wrist about a month ago.

I'm gonna tell him after it heals.

What does a broken wrist have to do

with you sleeping with a woman?

Well, you know, Marshall likes

to play basketball, right, baseball and...

He can't now because of his wrist. He's very depressed.

So I'm just gonna tell him after his wrist heals.

OK. Now you sound like Mark,

with all his reasons when something happens.

Please, in the name of God, just stop!

- Sit! - OK.

You know, I was talking with Marshall,

and he was kind of complaining that you...

You were talking to Marshall about my relationship with him?

- What business is that of yours? - He brought it up.

We just think that maybe you should embrace the fact

it's time to move on to the next phase of your life, like I did.

What are you doing here, Henry? Don't you have a job or something?

I need to talk about Sarah's wedding.

All right. Uh, the dress is almost done. It's beautiful.

I have a picture on my phone if you wanna see it.

I left you a message about the church. It looks like we're set.

I swear to God, I'm gonna kill you!

Here's the thing. Here's the thing.

I thought I was gonna be able to chip in,

- but I... I... I can't. - Henry, don't.

Who... Who decides to have a big wedding at the last minute?

Sell that stupid car.

It's not a stupid car. That car's a classic.

I have spent years restoring it lovingly, OK?

There's only one other of those on the entire East Coast.

Who cares? This is what you do for your kid.

I can't do it. I can't do it right now. The market sucks.

You just said there's only one of them.

There's only one on the East Coast,

but it turns out there's a lot of 'em on the West Coast.

It's... It's complicated. The market's... it's swamped.

So best offer I'm getting, it's like half my asking price.

And I don't know if you've noticed,

but I have a few more kids than I used to.

And that's Sarah's fault?

Look, can we just talk honestly

for a second about this wedding?

- Don't. - No.

- Don't, Henry. - You know I love her.

I want to do anything that I can for her.

I mean, doesn't it kind of smell like

this may be the first of several weddings for her?

That is an awful thing to say.

I'm just saying what everybody's thinking.

Oh, boy. So what am I supposed to do now?

I'm just saying I don't have the money.

I can't contribute anything.

If you wanna do this big wedding,

you're gonna have to pay for it yourself.

I'm sorry.

Hey!

What did I tell ya?

You sit in the car. It's not a... It's not a bouncy.

- What's up, Wanda? - How's it going?

Hey.

Hey. I'd come and give you a kiss,

but you seem like you're in a good groove.

I always have time for a little kiss.

- How's the wrist? - It's good.

They said I can take this thing off at the end of the week.

- Oh, great. - Yeah.

I'm still pissed that I broke it, but...

Well, you know, people get hurt all the time.

Yeah. You know what it is?

It's just, it's stupid, but I just hate getting old.

- It's stupid, right? - No.

I mean, everybody in the world feels that way.

But what's the point of life? You know, what's the real point?

- What do you mean? - I don't know.

I feel like I lost the thread of my life.

Like, I just don't know what to do with myself.

Because you broke your wrist?

I broke my wrist. I can't play sports.

I can't do what I want when I wanna do it.

And I start to think, like, what am I even doing here?

Like, what is the point of all of this?

Like here on Earth?

It's insane, right? I know it's probably a midlife crisis.

But I swear I went through one of these two years ago.

Well, why don't you wait to see how you feel

once the cast comes off?

You're right. That's smart.

- You wanna get married? - What?

Forget I said that.

Forget I said that.

OK. You're kind of a little all over the place.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.

I shouldn't have asked you that.

Let's talk about the news about your mother.

I'm sorry. How's she taking the news?

Well, uh, since she thought she had lung cancer,

somehow leukemia is like the best news in the world.

And how was the rest of your day?

Well, Mark got thrown out of therapy.

Then I had to rush to meet Sarah at the hospital.

- Is she all right? - Yeah.

She didn't feel the baby kick,

so she thought something was wrong.

- Was there? - No, no.

He started kicking up a storm

while we were sitting there in the waiting room.

- Wow. You had some day, huh? - Yes.

Then Henry came by with all of his many children,

told me that he can't pay for his half of Sarah's wedding.

Wow, that's a lot of people. You see anybody else?

Uh, no, that was it. Uh, let me... No, that was... Yeah.

But he said he was gonna pay.

Yeah, now he says apparently he can't afford it.

So what are you gonna do?

I don't know. I'll figure something out, I guess.

I could give you the money.

That is very generous, Marshall.

- Thank you, but... - Just keep it as an option.

You know, I've been trying to figure out a way

to be a part of this wedding.

Maybe this is, you know, my way in.

- This is from last week. - Perfect. Thank you.

- There's my daughter. - Here I am.

Are you gonna come by and check on me every night

now that I'm sick?

Is it too late to get that ice cream?

No, I'd love it.

- Who is that? - Oh, it's your granddaughter.

- Well, what is she saying? - She says she can't sleep.

Oh. Well, let's go bring her along.

I'm gonna get strawberry, chocolate,

and then I'm gonna get some Jamoca Almond Fudge.

And I'd like some hot chocolate fudge syrup.

- But not that liquidy kind. - OK. Mm-hm.

Thank you.

- How come you couldn't sleep? - Oh, I don't know.

Maybe it's because I have a tiny human inside me

who's trying to kick his way out.

This place has been here so long

that your grandpa used to take me here when we were dating.

That's so romantic.

Did I ever tell you about the time

when your grandpa robbed a bank?

No, no. You've never told me anything that awesome.

Dad never robbed a bank, Mom.

- This was before I met him. - Mom!

Do you wanna hear the story or not?

I do. Shut up, Mom. Let her tell it.

You know, I've always known

that I had fugitive blood running through my veins.

Stanley must have been about 18 years old.

And he had just quit the chicken factory.

What's a chicken factory?

It's a great big place

where they kill thousands of chickens every day,

and Stanley quit after less than a week

and then he didn't eat chicken again for the next two years.

So he had no money coming in,

and he didn't wanna move back in with those parents of his.

- So he started robbing banks. - Just the one bank.

Yeah, if you steal enough money, you only need to rob the one.

So, he's in a bar one day,

and this tough old fella strolls up to him,

and his name is Lucky, which is a joke name,

'cause this Lucky had the worst luck of anybody in the world.

And he whispers to your grandfather

how he's gonna rob a bank on Friday

and he needs a getaway driver.

Somehow I cannot see Dad being a part of this.

He needed the money. Keep going, Grandma.

Stanley didn't wanna do it,

but he figured I don't have to do any of the robbing,

just the driving.

So the day comes,

Lucky has stolen them a really fast car,

and they head over to the bank.

Oh, my God, this is so exciting.

I know that Grandpa doesn't die in a shootout or anything,

but it's still really exciting.

Lucky says, "You stay right here in front of the bank"

till I come out and jump into the back seat."

He's supposed to just stay there?

Oh, now you're all interested.

So your grandfather is scared to death,

but he's got the car running,

and he's clutching the steering wheel with both hands

so tight his knuckles are white.

The baby loves this story. He keeps jumping up and down.

Sweat is pouring down your grandfather's face...

and he's gonna stay right there,

even though he thinks he hears a siren in the distance.

Well, he shouldn't just wait there. He should leave Lucky. He should go.

And then he hears yelling from in front of the bank.

The back door rips open, Lucky jumps in and yells, "Drive!"

Is that it? Is that the end of the story?

No, but my ice cream is melting.

I have to eat some of it before it gets mushy, which it is.

Oh, it's so much better when it's mushy.

- What? - What?

At home I microwave my ice cream before I eat it.

- Microwave? - Yes.

- Whose child are you? - Grandma, the story. Keep going.

Stanley is tearing down the street.

They get out of the city.

They're on some old country roads.

They're going 90 miles an hour.

And Grandpa's actually giddy because they did it.

- They robbed a bank. - Wow.

So your grandpa calls back to Lucky,

"How much money did we get?"

And from the back seat he hears,

"What are you talking about?"

Is Lucky trying to screw Grandpa out of his share?

Grandpa turns back to see what Lucky's talking about,

and the fella sitting in the back seat isn't Lucky.

Who is it?

When he heard all the yelling

from in front of the bank,

he assumed that it was at Lucky.

But it turns out there's a young couple

having a great big argument in front of the bank.

The woman is hitting her fella with her purse,

then she starts punching him, so he pushes her away,

jumps in the back of your grandpa's car and yells, "Drive!"

No way.

So what happened to Lucky?

Oh, Lucky.

They caught Lucky standing in front of the bank

with a big bag of money

and a really confused look on his face.

It turns out they gave him two and a half years.

I like this story so much.

It's a good one.

- It's Mark. - Oh, my gosh.

He's house-sitting this gorgeous house on a lake

- while the owners are away. - Hey, Mark.

Yeah. No, I'm sitting here with, uh, with your sister and...

What's that?

Oh. OK. Yes. OK. All right.

I'll be right there. Bye.

- OK, we have to go. - Why?

Because your brother is in jail.

- What? - Since when?

I'm gonna drop you guys off

and find out what's going on.

- No, I'm going with you. - No, you are not.

- You are not dropping me off anywhere. - I'm not arguing about this.

Man, I could use another ice cream.

That was so good, wasn't it?

Yeah, we should go to that place every night.

We'd weigh 700 pounds.

Yeah, but then we could join a gym together or something.

How'd you stay thin when you were young, Grandma?

What are we waiting for? I thought you paid Mark's bail.

I did.

Well, what's he in for?

- Breaking and entering. - Oh.

See, Mark's got the fugitive blood,

like me and Grandpa.

You don't have fugitive blood, honey.

Agree to disagree.

There's Mark.

What are you guys all doing here?

Did those cops shave your head?

No. What? What do you think police do?

- I did it myself. - It looks like it.

You should have called me. I always do Eugene's.

I don't understand. Why did it take all three of you to come and get me?

Because we are family.

Yeah, that's what family does.

If they ever strap you to the electric chair,

we'll all be sitting right there

in the front row when they zap you.

OK, thank you, Grandma. That's very nice.

Mark, what happened?

Oh, it was just a misunderstanding.

Yeah, about that house you showed me.

Guy came home a lot earlier than expected.

- So you just broke in? - I didn't break in.

You were there. You saw. I knew where the key was.

I knew the alarm code. He...

He would have let me stay there. I just couldn't find him to ask.

They could throw your ass in jail for breaking and entering.

I mean, did you steal something?

No, of course I didn't steal anything. I wouldn't do that.

Look at you all offended about me asking questions

while we're bailing you out of jail.

OK, you wanna talk about jail?

Let's see how Eugene's feeling

knowing he's gonna be shackled to this soon.

- Everybody calm down. - Shut your mouth!

Sarah.

Let's get out of here before we all get arrested.

- Christ! - Get in the car!

Nice, young lady.

Stop being such a baby.

Oh, Mark.

This guy is not going to press charges, Mom.

How do you know him?

And how about you tell me the truth this time?

Weed.

So he's a drug dealer?

Weed's basically legal. He's more of a wholesale supplier.

But he says he's retired,

but I know it's too much money

to completely walk away from, so...

Boy, you're really hurting my heart over here, Mark.

Mom, it's fine. Don't have to worry about me.

It's funny how you keep saying that,

even as I am driving you home

after bailing you out of jail.

You always work this late?

- Something came up with Mark. - Is he OK?

Yeah. I don't really wanna get into it right now.

Let's go hit that bed of yours.

Have you been drinking?

I was out celebrating the new job

with a couple of people from work.

You didn't think maybe I'd wanna come?

Why would you wanna have drinks with a bunch of book nerds?

This thing between us, it's not just sex, right?

I mean, the sex is pretty great.

Oh, my God.

Hey. Hey.

The sex is amazing, but of course that's not all there is.

Don't you feel the power when we're together?

Power?

Yeah. I can't think of the exact name.

You just called it power.

You say you want this to be more than sex,

but you never actually tell me what you want.

What do you mean?

I ask you how your day was and you don't wanna talk about it.

You tell me about your son or your daughter or your mom,

what emergency there was.

But what do youwant?

Mom, your favorite and very thoughtful child brought you some coffee.

- Good morning. - Hi.

- I'm Sarah. - I'm Sophie.

Yes, you are.

OK, well, I'll just, uh, give you girls a minute.

And, uh, then you can come see your grandbaby...

- Yeah, yeah, give me a minute. - At the doctor's office with me.

- Sorry. - It's OK.

- Just give me a second... - My mother's a lesbian.

Before you start talking. All right.

My mother's a lesbian, and my brother's going to jail.

I mean, I used to think that I was the most interesting person in this family,

but it turns out I'm a distant third.

Honey, can we just not make such a big deal about this?

- Can we just go? - Oh, OK.

Not a big deal. Fine.

- Have you told Marshall? - I'm gonna... I'm gonna tell Marshall.

- Oh, Mom. - I'm gonna tell him. Let's go.

That nurse is cute.

Mom, don't you think that nurse is cute?

Well, I think she's cute.

- What are you talking about? - I'll tell you later.

Sarah? The doctor will see you now.

How you holding up, Eugene?

Yeah, you know, I think I'm just ready

to meet the kid at this point, you know.

- Can I ask you something personal? - Sure.

When I was in the ER with Sarah,

she said that you always wanna have sex.

I... I don't.

No, um... I do.

We have. Obv... Obviously we have. Um...

You know how Sarah gets.

If I don't act like I wanna have sex all the time,

then she gets angry, you know.

And if she gets... Then she thinks that I think that she's ugly.

I don't think that she's ugly. I never think that she's ugly.

It's just, frankly, I'm a little freaked out

by the prospect of having sex with a woman when she's...

Grasea.

Of having sex with a woman

when there's a baby that's gonna come out any second.

It kind of scares me a little bit.

So I have to pretend, you know, to try to keep her happy.

I got you. I got you.

- You know? - OK.

I should have guessed it was something like that.

- Can I ask you something? - Yeah.

Is it always gonna be like this?

Just hang in there till the baby comes, OK?

You are at the very beginning of the really fun part, trust me.

It's just...

- 'Cause this is hard. - No, no, no, you're...

It's gonna be OK.

- Wanda, you are saving my life. - Oh, please. I am happy to help.

So I... I cleaned out the entire kitchen for you.

Oh, that is so nice of you. I don't need it. I got my grill.

Grill? How do you make dessert with a grill?

You gotta trust me.

OK. Campfire cones.

You take the cone, you put in some marshmallows,

chocolate sauce, chocolate chips, crackers.

Wrap it in tinfoil. Put it on the grill five minutes.

Off the grill. Ice cream on top.

You, my friend, will be the hero of your daughter's class.

- I like that. - All right.

Yeah, sounds delicious.

All right, strong man. Take this yellow box.

- All right. Here we go. - I'll get the grill.

You good? Let me know if you need a hand.

- This is just sugar, huh? - Yeah.

And I'll get... You know what? You'll get the grill.

Yeah, I got it, I got it.

- Good job. - Yeah.

I really, uh... I really appreciate you taking the time to help me with this.

Ah. I'm happy to help.

If I wasn't here, I'd probably be running around

doing something for my kids, so...

Yeah, I remember days like that. It's so much fun.

You know, fun is not the first word that comes to mind.

You know, I have to, uh...

I have to take you out to dinner to pay you back for this.

- No, you don't. - No, I... I want to.

All right. I mean, not... not like a date, though. Just...

No, no, of course not. No.

Why, uh... Why not as a date? Are you seeing someone?

As it turns out, I am seeing two people. A man and a woman.

- Really? - I mean, not really... not at the same... not together.

- I don't know why I'm telling you this. -

It sounds pretty ridiculous now that I'm saying it out loud.

No, no, it doesn't... sound ridiculous at all.

What?

If I'd known that this type of dating was going on here,

I would have never left.

All right, OK, enough. Go check on those or something.

- There's my girl. - Hi.

- How are you? - Good.

- Ready? - Yeah.

- You OK? - Yep, yep, yep.

Were you able to sleep last night?

Yeah. You know.

- It'll be good to get this done with. - Mmm.

Yeah.

OK, so I usually don't handle these things, but...

Why don't we just come back when Alice is here?

You know what? I know I saw Alice put away the file, so...

Now, I thought your ex-husband was paying for half the wedding.

I'm actually, uh, taking care of it instead.

Oh, OK, great. You know what? It's not my business, so...

- By the way, do you take checks? - Yeah.

Well, if I can't find the paperwork for the wedding,

then I can't tell you the amount.

We can't have you leaving the church

a blank check, right?

I feel like now's the time

to tell a joke about God

and blank checks in the church.

Yeah, well, we don't... around here,

we tend not to tell too many God jokes, but...

Right.

I mean, if you go through the Bible,

it turns out he doesn't have the greatest sense of humor.

Oh, you know what? Here it is. "Miles, Sarah." Excellent.

And I don't know why she does this.

Who goes through the trouble of making a file

and then putting nothing inside?

Why does she do this to me?

You know, we'll come back another time.

It's not existential. It's like a legitimate question.

Well, why don't we just take care of it now, Wanda? We're here.

No, because I... Alice knows, you know...

I've been talking to Alice the whole time. She's not here right now.

The reverend is not used to handling, you know, the paper...

I'm seeing some... I am seeing someone else.

I'm sorry. I don't understand.

I'm sorry. I'm talking to Marshall.

I am seeing someone else behind your back.

- It's OK. - No, it's not OK.

I can't have you pay for half this wedding

when I'm lying to you like this.

It's just not right. I can't do it.

All right, I already know.

You're seeing the English professor, Sophie, right?

You al... You already know?

Sophie's a woman's name.

I'm gonna go see if Alice is back yet, because...

Alice?

It's OK.

Wanda, can you stop for a second?

No, it's so humiliating.

Will you just wait a minute?

How long have you known about me and Sophie?

About a month.

That's how long I've been seeing her.

- Agnes from across the street. - Yes?

Her husband, Billy, he sells me most of my domestic beers.

Yes, I know who those people are.

Well, Agnes saw you kissing Sophie on your porch,

and then she told Billy, and then Billy told me.

So? I mean, it could have been something innocent.

You know, I drove by your house and I saw her car parked there.

And then sometimes I drove back

and the car was still there in the morning.

Jesus, Marshall, aren't you supposed to be

running a restaurant?

I know, but my wrist.

- Will you stop with the wrist? - OK.

You don't seem at all angry about this.

I don't understand why you're not upset about me and Sophie.

I am upset. But, I don't know, maybe because it's two women.

- That is so insulting. - Is it?

Yeah.

It's like you don't believe

that two women could have a real relationship.

Can you not answer that now?

Hey. Yes. Hi, Sarah.

Yes, OK. I'm not far.

Yeah, I'll be... I'll be right there.

Uh, I don't think we should see each other anymore.

You're breaking up with me?

I think it's for the best.

Too bad I'm not one of your kids.

What is that supposed to mean?

You know, I'm crazy about you and you're breaking up with me.

Your kids, they treat you like shit.

They take advantage of you.

And as soon as they need you,

you just run off, you drop everything.

I don't have time to explain to you how wrong you are.

OK. Go help your grown-up kids.

Mom.

There's my daughter.

What are you doing here?

I was watching the news,

and then that son of yours

went and sold his TV and took it away.

Well, what is going on? Where is all of Mark's stuff?

Well, I guess he sold that too.

I still think you could have gotten more for the TV.

- Mark! - You called Mom?

Obviously I called Mom.

I only called Grandma. Now I got the whole family here?

Mark, what is going on? Where is all of your furniture?

Tell Mom why you called Grandma.

I gotta get this AC down to the guy in 1A

before he gets to work. Just...

He called Grandma because he wanted money.

Did he, Mom?

I called Sarah to take me to the bank,

and instead she brought me straight here,

and they've been arguing ever since.

- Mark, why do you need money? - I don't.

Is this about drugs?

No. I haven't done drugs in years, Mom.

Put that down. You'll give yourself a hernia.

It's not about drugs. Tell her why you needed the money, Mark.

- OK. It's not a big deal. - It's not a big deal?

- What do you mean, it's not a big deal? - What is not a big deal?

Mark enlisted in the army.

- You did what? - Yeah, he enlisted.

Is that really such a huge deal?

Like the army army,

where they send you to wars and people shoot at you?

- That army, Mark? - Mom, there's thousands of jobs in the armed services.

It's not all that. You can become a mechanic and repair jeeps.

And that's why you joined the army. Because you wanna repair jeeps?

You couldn't learn to repair jeeps here?

I don't wanna be a mechanic. That was just an example.

The first example you thought of is something you don't even wanna do.

- OK, Sarah, thank you. - I could not possibly be the problem here.

Why is everyone in my apartment right now?

- I was brought here. - I know that.

Sarah, sit down.

I don't understand how this is even possible, Mark.

You were just arrested.

Gary dropped the charges

on the breaking and entering,

like I said he would.

And I called Grandma

because I thought maybe

I could borrow, like, a couple of bucks,

because I'm completely broke and, like...

I just didn't know if the army pays you right away

or if it takes a couple of weeks.

No, you don't need money when you go into the army

because they pay for everything.

Well... I also owed some people some cash.

- Mmm. There it is. - OK, Sarah, can you please...

Why are there five answers to every question I ask you?

When I ship out tomorrow, I'll...

Tomorrow?

Yeah. I signed up a couple of weeks ago.

I'm going to Louisiana.

No, you can't go. You can't do tomorrow.

You're gonna have to tell them

that you can push it back because...

You can have your father call them.

Mom, it's done. I'm signed up. I'm going tomorrow. It's done.

So you were just gonna leave?

You can drive me tomorrow so I don't have to take the bus.

If you want.

I gotta get it down.

I'm so sorry, Mom.

You saw him. He's so skinny and frail.

How's he gonna survive even a week in the army?

How is he ever gonna survive in jail?

It did seem like that's where he was headed.

No, there's no way I'd let him end up in jail.

There are some things that you have no control of.

So, I hear now that you're dating girls.

I'm not getting into this with you.

Do you wanna talk about Mark some more?

I don't know what else there is to say.

Hey, Mom...

are you gonna finish that?

I'm telling you, man, cars now,

they're made out of like, you know,

papier mâché, composite bullshit.

This car, you know,

it's an American car with balls, you know.

You know what I mean?

Gracias.

Oh, shit.

Wanda.

You're tying one on at Kwan's, huh?

I had a fight with Allison.

- Oh, yeah? What about? - Money.

Gosh. How unusual. You are usually so good with money.

Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh.

You're... You're really good with relationships.

Oh, please.

Anyway, yeah, she's pissed.

She would also like me to sell my car.

Good.

Does no one understand what it means to be a classic?

It means that they do not make that car any more.

They will never make another.

This is something that... it should be cherished.

And Allison doesn't share your view.

No, when she gets pissed, she says she's gonna

douse it with gasoline, set it on fire.

I've had exactly that thought.

Why does everyone hate this car so much?

- Whoa. - Oh, are you all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm fine. I can drive.

Sorry, man. I need change.

So, did Mark tell you that he joined the army?

Yeah.

Yeah, uh, about a week ago.

What are you... I just saw you. Why didn't you say anything?

I don't know. I thought he would have told you first.

So what are we gonna do about this?

I actually think the army could be kind of good for Mark.

So what happens when he goes over to some other country

and, like, you know, kills people,

or watches his friends get killed?

He's not a kid anymore, Wanda. He's stronger than you think.

- But the army? - I just...

I think he knows he needs some structure,

and I think, you know, he wants some kind of higher purpose.

Higher purpose. Let him do yoga.

I also think, you know, not spending all his time with you

isn't the... isn't the worst thing.

I hardly even see him.

Yeah, but you're the safety net he calls whenever there's trouble.

Same with Sarah. Same with your mom.

That's ridiculous.

Whatever they need, whenever they need it,

whatever you're doing, you drop it, you go and you rescue 'em.

No, that is not true.

- You want me to get that? - No, I got it. Thank you. Hello?

- It's your favorite mother. - Hi, Mom. How's it going?

I need you to come down to the casino and pick me up.

At the casino? I just dropped you off at your home two hours ago.

I know, but the girls wanted to go to the Horseshoe, so I hitched a ride.

Problem is, I won so much money playing poker

that I need you to come down here

so we can each cash out half of what I won

and I won't have to pay taxes on any of it.

- Mom... - I need you, Wanda.

My poker girls busted out on me and left me.

I'll give you $500 towards Sarah's wedding.

Uh... all right, give me 45 minutes, OK?

- I love you. - Love you.

Just don't, OK?

Hey, I'm not saying anything.

Like everybody else, I just appreciate the ride.

Mom, just wait there. I'm gonna go park and then we can check...

No, no, we don't need to do that now.

Wait. Why?

I was sitting here and I realized that I had a little time to wait,

so I thought I could squeeze in a few more hands.

And so you lost all the money?

No, I just cashed out with $200.

How much were you up when you called me, Mom?

- A little over 4,000. - Mom!

Please don't yell at me. I am a sick woman.

You cannot use that excuse for the rest of your life.

You should have seen the hand that I got beat on.

I couldn't possibly care less.

He had a full house. Threes over eights.

Mom, I said I don't wanna hear about it.

Fine. I thought just maybe deep down, you really did.

- Well, I really don't. - OK.

Where are you going?

- Where are you going? - I don't know.

What are you so angry about?

I spend all day, every day, driving people around,

cleaning up their messes.

Who's everybody?

You, Sarah, Mark.

I do everything for Mark, and he joins the army?

I mean, I feel like I just completely failed him,

like he just went and jumped off a bridge.

He hasn't, Wanda.

- Now I can't pay for Sarah's wedding. - Why not?

Because Henry can't stop having children.

And now he can't pay for his half of the wedding.

That jackass.

And then Marshall offered to pay

and I said, no, you can't, because I'm having an affair

with a woman behind your back, for some reason.

- And what did he say to that? - He already knew.

Agnes and Billy across the street already told him.

Oh, that Agnes. She's always been such a big mouth.

So... So, did Marshall break up with you?

No, I broke up with him.

Why?

Because if I'm having an affair behind his back,

it's a pretty good indication

that the relationship isn't working out.

And then you went and lost all that goddamn money!

What does that have to do with...

Oh. Just make her go down to city hall and get married.

Because, Mom, it's not what she wants.

People don't always get what they want.

And Sarah would finally realize that

if you'd stop helping her all the time.

Mom, then who's gonna do it? It's always me.

Who do you think's gonna babysit this kid all the time?

Who's gonna go get Mark when he gets thrown out of the army?

Two weeks ago, I had to go see Henry's kids in a play.

He's not my husband. They're not my kids.

Then stop answering your phone.

What about what I wanna do?

What is it that you wanna do?

I don't know.

Then how is anybody stopping you if you don't know?

Because the phone never stops ringing.

I don't have five minutes to myself to think.

I just told you. Stop answering the phone.

OK, maybe I'll drive you back to the casino and you can walk home.

I'm 150 years old.

I already learned that life doesn't turn out

the way you want.

Have you noticed that I'm trying to quit smoking?

I just thought you weren't smoking in front of me

'cause you got tired of me screaming at you.

No, I know that it's important to you, so I'm trying.

How's it going?

Good moments, bad moments.

But the... the point of it is,

I know you think that I'm not listening to you, but I am.

And I know that it's the same for Mark and Sarah.

I would like to believe that.

We just don't like to admit when you're right.

So you think I'm right?

I've said way too much.

Because you know that's the only reason I do this, Mom,

is 'cause I'm right.

It's hard to be right all the time.

Are you drunk again?

Is that how you greet every person who comes to visit you?

I have had an exhausting, long day.

I think you should probably just go home.

I'm sorry.

We can just hang out. We can do whatever you want.

- I'm not moving to Boston with you. - Why not?

'Cause I cannot imagine anything worse than going to Boston

and sitting around waiting for you to come home

after hanging out with all your friends.

It wouldn't be that way.

So, in Boston, I would get to meet your friends?

I was thinking you'd probably make your own friends up there.

You are ashamed to be seen with me.

That's not true. I just like to keep different parts of my life separate.

Lots of people do that.

Yeah, you have the interesting people

that you like to hang out with,

and then this older woman

who you like to have sex with.

You would never think that way

if you were a guy and I was a girl.

All right? Plus, the sex is great.

No, you know, the sex is just sex.

I don't know why you keep trying to write like a poem about it or something.

- It's just sex, Sophie. - It's just sex?

Yes, sex is one part of life,

and I wanna have a whole life with somebody.

- Is that what you have with Marshall? - No, I broke up with Marshall.

- So you choose me. - No, no.

I need to break up with you too. It's over.

So does this mean this is the last time we're gonna make love?

No, honey, it means that you have to go home.

Sorry.

- You're parked in the bus lane. - Get in.

You know, it'd probably be a federal offense

if you try to kidnap me to stop me from joining the army.

All right.

You didn't have to do this, you know.

I know.

You didn't have to do this either.

Kind of did.

Thanks.

If you're not gonna say anything,

I don't know why you bothered.

Come here.

Thanks, Mom.

Oh, God, she's gonna have to let the waist out again.

Why don't we wait to see what she has to say, OK?

It's my fault. I can't stop eating.

You're not supposed to stop eating, honey.

Yeah, but this morning I had a breakfast burrito,

and then it was so good that I made Eugene

go through the drive-thru and get me another one.

And now I'm in so much pain.

Why don't you sit down for a minute?

I can't sit in this dress.

Well, we can get that off you.

I would rather just get it done.

Did you talk to the cousins

and make sure they're still coming to the wedding?

Actually, Sarah, there's something we need to talk about.

Uh-oh. It's "Ladybug" when things are good

and "Sarah" when something's wrong.

- What's up? - It's your father.

- Is he dead? - No, he's not dead.

- OK. Is he dying? - No.

He just can't come up

with his half of the money for the wedding.

I knew this was gonna happen.

He has a new family,

and suddenly it's like

Mark and I never existed.

No, honey, that's not true.

He loves you very much. That's...

Oh, God!

Why am I trying on this stupid wedding dress

if there's not even gonna be a wedding?

Honey, you can wear the dress to city hall and get married.

Oh, my God, Mom, that is so tacky. I don't wanna do that.

All right, look, I was able to get together $8,000 for this wedding.

Why don't I give that money to you and Eugene?

It's not about the money, Mom.

I know it's not about the money.

But you guys could buy something nice.

You can go on a honeymoon.

I wanted the day! I wanted the day.

I wanted... I wanted the church.

- I wanted people to throw rice at us. - I know.

And... I wanted... I wanted Dad to walk me down the...

Honey, I know. I'm sorry.

These burritos are killing me.

How's the dress looking?

Ladybug?

Ladybug?

- Probably not the burritos. - OK, go. Just go.

I have, um... I got the shoes.

I'm gonna pay for this. We'll be back. Honey, let's just go.

Sorry about the mess!

I'm not ready, though. I... I... I can't have this baby.

I can't have this baby 'cause the wedding was supposed to happen first.

- I know. - The wedding was supposed to be perfect

and it was supposed to happen first.

I have a plan, OK, honey?

- Just breathe. Just breathe, please. - What's the plan?

- I'm not ready. I'm not ready. - OK, hold on.

- What are you doing? - I'm not ready!

Oh, Jesus!

- Sarah! - What?

You're gonna give me a heart attack.

All right, they're coming.

- Honey, please, can we go inside? - No.

- Get her inside. - I'm trying, Mom!

She's gonna wind up having the baby

right here on the sidewalk...

- Two seconds. - Outside of the hospital.

We have to do this right here.

- All right, let's go. - Hello, Reverend. It's your turn.

- Yep. Thank you, son. - Breathe, please, honey.

- I said dress shirt. - There's buttons on it.

Don't worry. Don't worry. This is good.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today...

Skip past...

Um, what is marriage? Marriage is a union.

I'm gonna need you to skip to the "I do's"

before this baby comes shooting out of me at you.

Oh, heavens. Reverend, I'm sorry. This is not at all ideal.

And I'm so appreciative for what you're doing for our family.

Of course.

- Where'd you find this guy? - Mom.

- Shall we begin? - Yes.

Do you take this man to be your husband?

I do!

And do you take this woman to...?

I do, I do, I do!

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Very good. Thank you.

Look what we made.

We have the same haircut.

He's awake.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, he's just fabulous.

He just opened his eyes a minute ago.

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.

How are you doing, Eugene?

I'm a bit overwhelmed, I think,

but I'm happy to get to the fun part.

- Did I do good, Mom? - Oh, you did so good, Ladybug.

I wish Mark were here. He couldn't have waited a day?

How was he supposed to know

you were gonna have the baby early?

Yeah, and he probably wouldn't be

a very good influence on this kid anyway.

- All right. - That's not very nice.

This is your brother you're talking about.

I don't really mean it. I just wish he was here.

Yeah.

All right, well, your father is on his way here,

and so I'm gonna go...

- Not be here? - Get a coffee. Yes.

Hi. Hi.

Aren't you just the most beautiful boy

in the whole world?

He smiled at me.

- He has my smile. - Yeah.

Oh, hey there, Grandma.

- Where have you been? - Work. You called me at work.

Yeah. You couldn't leave early?

I could, but I had to find someone to pick up the kids.

- Your wife can't do that? - She works also.

- What's the matter with you? - I don't know.

Your daughter just got married and had a baby.

Yeah, and I'm here.

- You mad, Wanda? - Yes.

Yeah?

I think you could have done a better job looking out for Mark.

Jesus. OK. Um...

Mark is fine. Mark is gonna be fine.

Now, are you angry because he joined the army,

or are you angry because you're not gonna be able to see him every day,

you're not gonna be able to do his laundry

and cut up his food for him?

- Do me a favor. - What are you gonna do

if Eugene gets a job somewhere else?

- Is he looking for another job? - No, he's not looking for another...

I'm just saying, this is what happens, Wanda, with families now. They scatter.

You only get to see each other, you know, once or twice a year.

Christmas, maybe every other Thanksgiving. Anyway...

Great. Thanks.

OK. You know what?

Next time you get a good man like Marshall interested in you,

maybe you don't just toss him away.

- Hey, Henry. - Yeah?

Fuck you.

- How's it going? - You look exhausted.

Oh, God.

Wanda?

Wanda!

Are you OK?

- You could hear me yell? - I could.

- Are you OK? - Yeah, I'm fine.

I became a grandmother today.

Congratulations.

And I took my son to a bus that took him away

to, um, to basic training.

- Oh, that's... that's tough. - Yeah.

I think people think I'm boring.

Why would they think that?

'Cause I just live for my family.

They give me everything I need.

All the joy and the laughter and the fun and frustration.

They keep me very busy. And you know what? I love it. Hmm.

It's all I've ever wanted. It just keeps me so, like, tickled.

So what's the problem?

Everybody keeps telling me I'm supposed to want more out of life.

I feel, like, guilty.

Yeah, well, um, maybe you feel guilty

because you know what you want and most people don't.

Maybe.

You love being with your family.

What else do you like?

What else do I like?

I have no idea.

Although lately it's making me so happy

just to watch the sun come through the window.

Like... Like this. See?

I do.

I watch it most mornings from my bed. I can see it.

And I saw it the other day at the church.

You know, I know what that means.

Why it makes you feel that way.

You do?

Yeah. Come on, I'll show you.

- Hold on. I have to wear shoes. - OK.

- Come on. - OK.

The sun has been calling you outside all this time

and you've been ignoring it.

I've got a daughter named June,

and tonight my ex-wife and I will go to sleep

and not know where June is.

- Drugs? - Yeah.

It's insane to me that I can't take out my phone and call her.

Mark had it pretty bad, but not quite like that.

I'm so sorry, Albert.

You've got a daughter with a healthy baby,

and a son who's starting a new adventure.

I'd take that in a heartbeat.

Everybody keeps telling me you gotta let go, you gotta move on.

Move on? From my family?

- Like, what does that even mean? - It doesn't mean anything.

You get the call that they need you, and you go.

Yes.

If my daughter calls right now,

I would leave you on this porch

and never feel a second of guilt about it.

Well, of course. I would drive you to her if you needed me to.

Thank you.

One of the perks.

You want me to, uh, help you pack up Mark's stuff?

You do, and I'll buy you a beer.

- Not as a date. - Oh, no. Not... Not as a date.

Although I did dump both of those people I was seeing

since the last time we talked.

Really?

It seems that we talked not very long ago.

Sometimes that's just how it goes.

What?

Just OK.

All right, let's get started.

Ooh.

- That is good. - That's so good.

That is good.

I never had yogurt from here before.

See, Mom, it's good to try different things.

Well, it tastes good, but I'm still gonna...

pretend that it's ice cream.

It's Mark.

Oh. I just sent him a picture of the baby the other day.

- How's he doing? - Uh, he is getting on a plane to Frankfurt.

It looks like he will be stationed in Germany for the next year.

Well, that's good. Nobody shoots at you in Germany.

That is absolutely right.

Did I ever tell you about the time I got my pilot's license?

Oh, Mom, please.

Do you wanna hear the story or not?

Go to Grandma. Yeah, I wanna hear it. Tell me.

I was in high school, I was playing for the girls' basketball team,

and we had a coach, a great big fat fella named Mr. North.

And he owned three crop planes.

One day he says to me, my friend Willy and I...
