you

Mom,

I can't sleep.

Did you have fun at the party?

Everyone was saying how grown up you
looked.

Why did you lie to me?

Why do you? About what?

About Philip Parker.

You knew him and you said you didn't.

I didn't know him.

He was in your class. I have your high
school yearbook in my room.

Honey, where are you getting all this
stuff?

Mother, answer me.

Lily, someday you'll realize that when
you come from our family, everyone knows

who you are.

Only you don't always know who they are,
or why they like you, or why they don't

like you.

There's something you're not telling me.

My darling, you have a wonderful
imagination, but right now it's getting

best of you.

Give me a hug.

Let it go.

You're tired.

You need to get some sleep.

I love you, sweetheart.

You need...

Then he shot himself just like Philip
Parker. Wait, do I know Philip Parker?

Jenny, he's the guy who shot himself in
our dining room.

You had an erotic dream about him?

No, it was Henry in my dream.

Hello?

Sorry. There's this girl in the locket.

What locket?

The one he dropped when he shot himself.

If I could just find out who she is.

Well, could you do it before Stovall's
class?

We desperately need a new topic.

Thanks for being so sympathetic.

Will, can you take the kids?

It's just me and Beth in West LA at 10
.30.

I had an affair.

I know you know.

Jesse Williamson has asked me to chair
at another pediatrics hospital.

I mean, how many sick kids are there in
the city?

Did you hear what I just said?

Yes.

Well, I think Pilar's smoking in the
house. I found a pack of cigarettes on

sideboard. You know, it really bothers
me that every time Rosa goes back to

Honduras, we're obligated to use one of
her random relatives.

I know you're angry with me.

We haven't touched each other in weeks.

Don't you think it's time we talk about
this?

What would you like me to say, Will?

In the five minutes that we have before
you take the kids to school.

Mom, Dad, come down here real quick.

What's going on? Where's our rat? In the
house? He beat me. He beat you? Where

is it?

He went by the trash can.

All right, Nathan, give me a broom.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to sweep it out the back door.

Yeah. Yeah, that'll work.

Get a knife. No, don't kill him.

Here, you take that.

Okay.

Was that the biggest rat you guys ever
seen or what?

Felicia, a new hairdo? What do you call
it, a mullet?

Just kidding.

Gary! Stud!

God, I want your body.

Leo! Listen, I heard about the diabetes
Dave told me.

Fuck.

Hey, we still on for tennis? Give me a
call.

Hello?

Greg.

How are things?

Fine, thanks.

How's Jeff? He's good. He's in Florida.

Oh. And the kids?

What kids?

I thought you had a bunch of kids.

No.

I've got nothing in the books until
noon.

Then it's royal meeting with Carter.

Blow it off. We'll make it worth your
while.

Becky, I'll put you in children.

No.

How old are you?

32.

So are you infertile or... Oh,

Becky, listen. I need you to stop by my
office this morning. It's very

important. In fact, I need you to come
in the next five minutes.

Can you?

Come in five minutes.

I'll do my best.

You're an animal.

Incredible. What a beauty.

That is a Marco Polo sheep.

They shot it on the run.

Afghanistan. Endangered?

No.

I'm secret to your success.

If I'd stayed married to the same woman,
I'd be a billionaire right now.

You were a romantic.

I was a sex addict.

Not anymore.

I'm getting old, George.

We all are.

We know about the situation with your
heart.

My heart's fine. It's nothing.

Two heart attacks, a triple bypass. You
had a ventricular assist device put in

you to pump your blood.

Who told you all this?

You should have told me. It's your
responsibility to think about the future

this company.

I'm not stepping down.

We've already taken a vote, George.

We need to begin the transition.

Robert is a winner.

A real go -getter.

He took a few of us out to lunch the
other day.

Had some smart ideas about taking the
sun into the next millennium.

He'll make a fine publisher.

Of course, it's your decision.

You've always known what was best for
the paper.

Where's Robert? He's in a meeting, Mr.
Greeley. I don't care.

I'm going to take the green.

Red.

I'm just going to take everything.

Great. Thanks.

You're welcome.

What? I'm splurging.

Don't stop me. Go for it.

Mother, what do you think? It's cute.
Try it on.

Oh, how are you and Steven?

Oh, it's over. He still hasn't over his
ex -girlfriend even though she's been

dead for three years. Well, it's no
great loss. He's not exactly in your

I met this new guy in my building.

He's a writer.

He's adorable.

What's his name? Jimmy.

He's so quirky, he gets up in the middle
of the night just to wash his hands.

You're not sleeping with him, are you?

No, Mother.

I just met him the other day.

Perfect.

That's Tim.

Security guard staring at us.

How rude.

As if we were thieves.

That is not a dress, Beth. That's a
napkin. Take it off.

But that first object of which Pearl
seemed to become aware was, shall we say

it? the scarlet letter on Hester's
bosom.

One day, as her mother stooped over the
cradle, the infant's eyes had been

caught by the glimmering of the gold
embroidery about the letter, and putting

her hand, she grasped at it, smiling not
doubtfully, but with a decided gleam

that gave her face the look of a much
older child.

What are you doing?

Putting on lip balm. What does it look
like?

Like you're auditioning for a porno?

Whatever.

Hey, Lily.

Hi. Listen, I thought I'd do another
search on Philip Parker and see if we

come up with any other connections
between him and your family.

So we can prove my mother's a
pathological liar?

I don't have to.

I mean, I can just let it go.

No, no, I want to get to the bottom of
this.

I'm not doing anything later today.

Do you want to hang out?

I can't. I have to work another shift at
the photo mart.

But I'll call you later tonight.

Okay.

Bye.

You light down.

Who's she?

She's a cutie. She likes you.

Get in the car, Tom.

How was your day, little brother?

Mine was great.

Yeah, I cleaned the house. I did your
laundry.

I got a job.

You got a job? Doing what?

Oh, it's just my dream gig. I serve
plates of pasta at a chain Italian

restaurant. You've never worked as a
waiter?

Oh, nice car.

Don't be a snob.

Yeah, right.

Ew.

I'm so sick of these high school boys.

I need a man.

What's your uncle made up to?

What are you guys doing here?

Um, we were just in the neighborhood.
Thought we'd stop by.

Hi. Remember me from the party?

Julie, right?

Jenny. Right. Your parents are
diplomats.

Yeah, they're unbelief.

All the time.

Hey, what are you doing out here?

Uh, just waiting for a friend. Your
girlfriend?

No. I don't have a girlfriend.

Hold on, all right?

It's about time, man.

He's such a badass.

Here.

Jenny, he's too old for you.

It's called statutory rape.

He could go to jail.

No, I'm not going to give you his phone
number.

No Hello We just can't

keep avoiding this conversation, okay
Say we have to say

I need to come clean fine

Well

When I first started the

I have to admit, it felt exciting.

I... I've just been feeling so, um, shut
down and...

empty. Um... Hold that thought.

Where is she?

I'm glad it's all over.

I'm even glad your father had me follow.

Careful, Pilar. Don't hurt your finger.

I give up.

You do it.

Hey, Pilar.

How's your finger?

Think you might have rabies?

Maybe, though.

Ractary millions of diseases, Mom.

You know what? She could have the
bubonic plague. People don't get the

plague anymore.

Yes, they do.

Look, I saw it on When Animals Attack.
All right, well, they don't get it in

house. Mm, I'm sure.

Will, what do you think we should put in
the sink?

Put it in the sink. There's probably a
whole family nesting in there.

Oh, if you'd had a exterminator, for
God's sake.

Tony, sweetheart, how are you?

Someone in my room yesterday.

Why, what's the matter? There's
something missing from my room.

Maybe you misplaced it. It was in my
desk. I didn't misplace it.

Pilar, are you cleaning Lily's room?

I was in your room.

I didn't take anything. I just read your
journal and urinated on your bed.

Honey, what are you looking for?

I think you know.

No, I don't. It's my room, Mother.

My room.

Lily, what's the matter?

Mom went to high school with Philip
Parker. Did you know that?

Don't you have anything to say?

Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure.

I have her high school yearbook.

She says she doesn't remember him, but
how is that possible?

And he left this locket in the house and
it was in my desk and now it's gone.

Because she went into my room and she
took it.

Take it easy on your mother, Lily.

She's dealing with a lot right now.
What? What is she dealing with? A lot of

things. It's complicated.

What?

Just be sensitive to her, all right?
That's all I ask.

You know, I'm so glad everyone in our
family is being so open and honest with

each other.

We're not perfect, Lily.

But we're doing the best we can.

Jimmy, what do you think?

You look hot.

My mother thought it was too slutty, so
I ditched her and went back and bought

it anyway.

Such a rebel.

If I want to dress like a whore, or if I
want to date a phobic writer who's not

in my league, then I'm going to do it.

Not in your league?

That's not what I think.

It's what she's going to think.

Why, because I'm not filthy rich?

It doesn't matter what she thinks.

I'm too old to be living in fear of my
uptight mother.

Is it because I'm Jewish?

Wait, what?

You're Jewish?

In their heart, they're all guilty.

Henry,

Lily, do you have something you want to
share with the rest of the class?

No.

I think I went a little overboard
yesterday.

I got home and I don't mind about these.
Oh, no problem, Mrs.

McAllister. Just give me a second to do
the paperwork. Thanks. I'm just going to

look around, okay?

Miss McAllister, it's all taken care of.

Thank you. Did you find anything else
you want?

Um... No.

Okay. Oh, that's okay. All right, thank
you.

Lily? You did.

You lied to me.

Lily.

What?

Her name was Meredith.

She was my best friend.

We were like you and Jenny. We spent
every minute together.

She had a boyfriend.

His name was Philip Parker.

Meredith thought she was in love.

She was only 16.

She went out one night with him and
never came back.

They found her car abandoned in the
Arroyo.

But they never found Meredith.

Ever.

I wanted to keep you innocent, Lily.

The truth is ugly.

I wanted to protect you. What is the
truth?

Philip Parker killed my best friend.

He was never charged with anything, but
I knew. The minute I heard that she was

missing, I knew that he killed her.

And I wasn't afraid of telling anyone
what I thought.

He hated me.

He accused me of turning Pasadena
against him.

I'm sure that he was coming to kill me
the other night.

Who knows?

The family knows.

I'm not making excuses.

This is how I was raised.

Don't talk about the bad things.

I try to bury it all over, but it just
makes it worse.

I'm not a child anymore.

Don't ever lie to me again.

Lily, what do you think of the articles
about our family?

This guy, Henry?

Who's Henry?

He's this new kid at school.

We got in a fight the other day about
rich people.

He thinks they're all corrupt.

And to prove his point, he researched
our whole family.

That's kind of nasty.

Well, at least he's interesting.

Which is more than I can say for the
rest of the guys at school.

You like him?

Maybe you should invite him to family
dinner.

He won't come.

He's like prejudiced against rich
people.

That's because he doesn't know our
family.

Mom.

I was thinking about what you said the
other day, about how our family covers

things up.

I haven't been totally honest with you
either.

Jenny and I went to go see Uncle Nate
the other day, and, um...

I think he stole your bracelet to buy
drugs.

I didn't want to say anything because I
didn't want to get him in trouble.

But I'm really worried about him.

Are you mad?

No, I'm not mad.

Uncle needs help.

I'm dating a Jew.

Mom and Dad are going to flip out.

I like Jimmy. That's all that matters.

I've got to get a backbone. I've got to
start sticking up for myself.

I'm having sex with a Jew.

Hey, Dad.

You wanted to see me?

Don Burke was in here the other day.

He said you two had lunch.

We did?

You don't remember?

He said you took a couple of the board
members out.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just trying to
keep them in the loop. That's all. You

know Jack Cameron. He's such a blowhard.
None of us could get a word in anyway.

Don said you had some smart ideas about
the paper.

Yeah. You know, cutting overhead, a few
ways to liven things up around here.

Robert, there are going to be some
changes around here.

I'm calling an executive meeting at the
end of next week.

I think you don't want to be there.

Sure, Dad.

I'll be there.

Oh, Catherine called. She said Nate
stole one of her bracelets. She's on

binge. I'll get into it. I can handle
Nate.

He doesn't need another lecture. He
needs to be scared straight.

You see, you don't have to take all this
on, Dad. I can handle it. I'm ready.

The newspaper, the family, I can do it.

I just need some excitement in my life,
you know?

I need to start dating your uncle.

Can't you arrange that?

Stay away.

He's got a lot of problems.

Good, that's what I want. Somebody
warped and twisted and revolting.

Give me his number.

No.

I know where he lives, Lily.

I'll go over there tonight and make him
a sandwich.

And he'll eat it.

He's not going to be there.

He'll be at my house for family dinner.

Oh, my. Oh, please.

I love you.

Ew.

What is that? Is that even a car?

Wait. Hold on. I'll be right back, okay?

Hey.

Hi. Oh, this is my brother, Tom.

Hi.

Nice to meet you. I'm Lily. How's it
going, Lily? Good.

Henry, I've been looking for you
everywhere. I think I finally cleared up

whole issue.

About Philip Parker.

I want to tell you about it.

The thing is, I got to go to work right
now.

Do you have plans tonight?

My mom said I can invite you over. Are
you busy?

No.

He's not busy.

Well, I got to study for that history
test.

I mean, you could study at my house.

I don't have a ride.

Take the car.

I don't need it.

Dinner's at 7 if you want to come.

I guess I'll see you tonight.

Okay. Well, I'll see you then.

It's good to meet you.

A girl like that invites you over to her
house for dinner and you have to study?

Drive.

My gorgeous sister.

Oh, Robert, thank you.

How you doing, Robert?

It's not Robert, it's your cousin Pilar.

Oh.

Hola, Pilar.

¿Cómo estás?

Pilar.

Nate is coming to dinner. I don't know
what to say to him. Don't worry about

Nate. I'll take care of that.

So guess what had happened?

What? Hell froze over. Dad's stepping
down from the sun. I'm going to take

Did he say that?

Well, you know, in his irascible way,
he's going to announce it at the end of

the week.

Robert? I know.

I mean, I always felt like Dad just
tolerated me at best, but...

I mean, I was never sure if he respected
me, but he must. You know, I mean, even

if you would kill him to probably admit
it, he must, right?

Congratulations! Oh, I'm so happy for
you!

Good evening.

Hello, Lillian.

Where's Catherine?

She's in the kitchen.

Will? Hello, George.

Can we talk?

I'm stepping down as publisher.

I've chosen you as my successor.

What about Robert?

What about him?

Well, I... I just assumed that you...
You don't want the job? No.

No, I want the job.

There's a certain protocol to this.

So for now, keep it to yourself.

Not even Catherine.

Okay.

All right.

Congratulations.

George, I don't know what to say. This
is just incredible.

Yes, it is.

Yeah.

Yeah, so this rat, thank you, was like a
20 -pounder, okay? I mean, look, he was

so gnarly. He had these big old fangs
right here. He is exaggerating.

I'm not. It's still wandering around
here somewhere. Well, I've decided to

a class.

I'm going to start studying the
Kabbalah. What's the Kabbalah?

It's the mystic traditions of the Jewish
people. It's supposedly fascinating.

A lot of people are studying it.

Madonna, for instance.

That sounds very interesting.

So why did the Jews wander the desert
for 40 years?

Why? Somebody dropped a quarter. Oh,
Robert.

That's not funny, Robert.

What do you call a Jewish dilemma?

What? Free ham.

Oh, Robert.

What? I'm just joking around.

Jimmy is Jewish.

Nice.

Sorry.

Papa loves Mambo.

Mama loves Mambo.

Look at him sway with it. Getting so gay
with it. Shout no lay with it. Wow.

Papa loves Mambo. Papa loves Mambo. Mama
loves Mambo. Mama loves Mambo. Papa

does great with it. Swings like a gate
with it. He loses weight with it now.

He goes to.

She goes fro.

Look like hell.

Yeah, I've been busy.

Oh, really? Doing what?

Busy acting like I'm some big shot over
at Race Corp when really I just sit

around and kiss my dad's ass.

Actually, that's what you've been doing.

That's funny. No, no, you're funny.

Those Jew jokes went over big time.

You're real crack up, Robert.

You know, Nate, Catherine's been missing
a bracelet.

It's a $15 ,000 bracelet.

You don't know anything about it, do
you?

No? I didn't think so. I mean, even a
drug -addicted loser like you wouldn't

stoop that low. Stealing from his own
sister.

I'm out of here.

You're leaving?

Yeah. Do you think I could get a ride
home?

No problem.

Thanks. My car's here, but I sometimes
don't like driving in the dark, you

Yeah.

I talked to Robert.

He's really excited. I'm so happy for
him.

I think I do.

Mom, no one has said two words to Jimmy.

Where in the world do you find these
characters? Each one is more bizarre

the one before.

He's not bizarre.

Oh, why?

Because he's Jewish?

Well, you know what?

I like that he's Jewish.

I might even convert to Judaism myself.
Don't be absurd.

You know, sometimes you can be a real
judgmental bitch.

Come on, Jimmy, we're leaving.

Let's go home and have sex.

Thanks for dinner.

Good night.

Philip Parker killed her.

He blamed my mother for turning Pasadena
against him.

Why didn't she tell you the truth in the
first place?

She didn't want to scare me.

And you believe her?

Your mother's best friend is murdered
and only now do you find out about it?

Isn't that a little strange to you?

You want me to do some research and just
see if there's more to it?

Okay.

I had a dream about you and we were
sitting on my bed just like this.

What happened?

You kissed me.

Why are you so interested in my family,
Henry?

I'm not.

I'm interested in you.

You leaving?

Yeah, yeah. Thanks for dinner. It was
great.

You're welcome.

Henry.

Lily likes you.

She thinks you're really smart.

She's been through a lot lately.

She's young.

I mean, I know you're young, you're
young, but she's been very sheltered.

impressionable.

Just be careful what you say to her
about her family.

She needs our support right now.

She doesn't need to be.

Understand?

I think so, yeah.

Good.

Good night.

Good night. Good night.

thinking you not having you

but keeping you in mind

and wondering too

what next you'll do

I'm never going to hurt you again.

I'm only 16, but I mean, I've always
hung out with an older crowd.

This psychic in Belize told me I'm an
old soul.

She said I was a concubine.
