I bet we've been together for a million
years.

And I bet we'll be together for a
million more.

Oh, it's like I started breathing on the
night we kissed.

And I can't remember what I ever did
before.

What would we do, baby, without a...

What would we do, baby, without us?

And there ain't no nothing we can't love
each other through.

What would we do, baby, without us?

I

was

in a deep, deep sleep, Alicia. Might
have considered picking up the phone.

What's going on?

A fight? A fight and you didn't call me?

It just started, but it has real
potential.

The phone rang seven times, Alicia. I
happen to be in the habit of drying

after a shower. It only takes three
rings to dry yourself.

Break!

How many times do I have to... Hi, kids.

Beautiful Sunday, isn't it?

I guess so.

It's a great day.

Don't you think so, Jennifer?

Not really.

The phone woke me up this morning.

That was your mother's fault, sweetie.

You're right. We should have installed a
phone in the shower years ago.

It would make my life a lot easier.

Okay, Elise, Richard and Keith are here.
Do you think we could stop this silly

fight? I know I could.

Oh, I see. It's my fault.

You're right. Look, from now on, no
matter where I am, I'll answer the

I'm at work and the phone's ringing, you
go next door to the OBEC.

Call me. I'll race home to answer it.

Even if you're in a deep, deep sleep?

Oh, and there's the bell to end the
first round.

I mean, try to keep some sense of
decorum, would you, Elise?

The man's been through a horrible
divorce and custody battle.

His view of marriage is dim enough
without our snuffing out what little

remains. Whoa.

Here, here.

What do we have for him, Keith? Yes,
it's the duro kite

by Shipko. The duro kite for a lifetime
of kiting pleasure and more.

And for the ladies, it's daisies.

And the duro kite by Shipko.

Thank you, Richard.

I'm a little short of Durakites.

A hug will have to do.

So, Keith, where has this dad of yours
taken you today?

Well, we started at the Football Hall of
Fame.

Then we went to the Pony Rock. Don't
tell him anymore, Keith. It's just going

make him look bad in front of his kids.

Now, let's just say we pretty much
toured the Midwest.

More of the wine country.

Alex, you want to go fly the kite?

Uh, thanks anyway, Keith, but I think
I'm a little old for kites.

Can I have a red one?

What a beautiful sight to see.

Kids playing together, husband and wife
living together under the same roof.

I used to have a wife.

I used to have a roof.

Come on, Richie, don't get bitter. You
haven't even been here five minutes. I'm

not bitter. No, I'm philosophical about
it, actually.

I have no regrets.

What was, was.

It's over.

I just have one question.

How'd you let me marry that witch?

That's the idea. Forgive and forget.

You know what it was? You two. It was
you two. You made marriage look

phenomenal. Kissing and hugging all the
time. Smiling.

Happy. Shame on you.

Come on, Richard. You and Cynthia had
some terrific times together.

You remember that summer in Maine? The
four of us, Bar Harbor? That was great.

Tents on the beach, digging clams. That
was July of 68.

Alex turned three that summer.

I remember we let him hold the money.

Oh, I was in love that summer.

I was in love with everybody and
everything.

I remember your infatuation with Kelp.
Kelp and Cynthia.

I just made the wrong choice.

She's taking Keith and moving to San
Diego.

What do you mean, moving?

Moving. They put your stuff in a truck,
they break your dishes.

Moving.

Oh, Richard, no, I'm sorry.

When is this happening?

They're leaving next week.

This is my last Sunday with him.

You must be excited about moving to
California, Keith.

Hollywood, Disneyland, the Grand Canyon.

Mallory, the Grand Canyon is not in
California. It's in Arizona.

He can still visit it, can't he, Alex?

Yeah, he can visit Belgium, too. What
does that mean?

You'll like it in California, Keith.
You'll see.

I wish my dad would come with me.

Of course, then my mom wouldn't come.

Stop.

You broke another one?

Jennifer, I'm doing the best I can.

The directions are in Chinese.

Well, you've broken Kite's in three
languages now.

Give it to me.

I think I could fall in Spanish.

Well, are you getting those kites
together?

Yeah, and we're learning a lot of
languages, too.

Get the duro kite. It's fun and
educational.

I'll be honest with you, Mr. Bailey.
You've got to have a degree in

to put these things together.

Okay, it's ready.

Let's go.

Come on, Keith.

Uh, how did you do that?

I just used my cabeza.

Who knows when I'll see him again.

This Sunday business is hard enough. Now
I'll see him, what, once every six

months?

That's not a father.

That's a dentist.

Richard,

I hate to bug you. Oh, my God, I forgot
where I was. I'm going to put it out.

I'm going to put it right out. I'll just
find a place, and I lost my mind,

that's all. I don't know where...

Did you at least discuss the move with
Cynthia? Sure, like we discussed

everything. I said, don't do it. She
said, I'm doing it. I said, I forbid it.

And she threw me out.

That's one of our better talks.

What about going back to court?

Try to share custody.

Don't say court to me, Steve. I spent
$20 ,000 in all last year in court.

The Ohio Bar Association voted me ex
-husband of the year.

I didn't know that.

Well, you know me. I don't like to brag.

Even if I wanted to go back to court, it
just wouldn't work. I mean, I haven't

got a chance.

I mean, unless the mother appears in
court naked and drooling, she's gonna

custody of the kids every time.

Well, you gotta do something.

What? Tell me. I'll do it.

I don't know what. I don't know what I'd
do.

You don't have to worry. It's not gonna
happen to you, Steve.

I mean, you've got a beautiful thing
here.

When did Elise ever do anything to make
you mad?

Well, um, this morning.

One morning I couldn't sleep late. I'm
fat to sleep, and the phone rings.

She let it ring seven times.

I had to get up and answer it myself.

She did that to you?

You gotta leave her.

Is something burning?

Sorry, sorry.

I lit a cigarette.

A thousand pardons. I lost my mind
there. I'm sorry.

All you can do is apologize.

You should get Keith's things together.
Cynthia should be here any minute.

Stevie, the phone.

What do you normally do in this
situation?

I smell smoke. I don't believe it. Three
hours ago in another room. The woman

ought to have her nose bronzed.

Hello, Richard.

Hello.

Cynthia, sit and have some coffee. I
just made a fresh pot.

Oh, no, no, thanks. No, no. We've got to
run tomorrow's a school day, so get

your things together, Keith.

Come on, Mom. Can't we stay a little
longer? There's still one cut we haven't

broken.

So, how you doing, Cynthia?

Fine.

Good. Good.

Us two, we're really fine.

I was going to ask.

Now you don't have to.

July of 68. That was the best one.

I remember Maine.

I remember living in a tent full of
kelp.

Is there something wrong with kelp?

It stinks.

Kelp stinks.

How dare you?

That's a stunning brooch, Cynthia. Where
can a person find a brooch? How can you

do it? How can you take my only son 2
,000 miles away from me? I have got to

away, Richard. I have got to get out of
Ohio.

I need a fresh start, and so does Keith.
Keith is nine years old. Nine -year

-old boys do not need a fresh start.

They need a father.

Oh, my God, I forgot.

Go ahead, Smoke.

Let's all smoke.

No, I will not foul your home. If you
should need me, I'll be on your front

lawn, fouling your neighborhood.

He's just agitated, Cynthia.

This... The whole thing's been very
disturbing to him.

I am sick and tired of hearing how hard
this has been on Richard. What about me?

All I ever hear about is how Daddy took
me to the pony rides and Daddy took me

to the movies and Daddy this and Daddy
that. And what do I do?

I'm the one who makes him do his
homework and brush his teeth and eat

I'm no fun at all. And Richard, Richard
is some kind of a saint.

Can we have any steak for supper? No.

Well, this is really getting silly. I've
got to get home.

Richard, if you're done sulking, would
you mind sending Keith in?

I'll get him.

Bye, Cynthia.

Uh, Mr. Billy wanted me to give you
this.

Cynthia, I'm the one who needs a fresh
start. I'm taking Keith.

Goodbye, Richard.

Keith!

What would you do if Mommy and Daddy
ever got divorced?

Don't worry. They're not going to get
divorced. They still act as if they're

their honeymoon.

I think what their honeymoon was like.

I'd rather not.

Just so they did get divorced, who'd you
want to go with?

I'd get my own apartment and let them
visit me.

What about you?

I'd get my own apartment building and
let them rent from me.

come to this.

He would dare. He was upset.

Angry. He was confused. He didn't know
what he was doing.

I'm not making excuses for him. I'm not
making excuses. I'm just... You

can still up?

Mom, it's 8 .15.

Oh, well, it wouldn't hurt you to get a
good night's sleep for a change.

Hey, look, if you want us to leave, why
don't you just say, please leave?

Please leave.

Easy, that one.

You've always been on Richard's side,
haven't you, Stephen?

I'm not taking Richard's side. I'm not
taking sides at all.

Although when I spoke to Richard
earlier... You spoke to him?

What did you say?

Nothing, nothing. All I said was that he
shouldn't sit still and let you take

Keith to San Diego.

That's all you said?

Why didn't you write a ransom note for
him?

He had a conversation, Elise. He's my
friend.

Do you think he had any right to get
involved in this? I think I had more

right. I had an obligation.

Oh, as a man? No.

As a woman? No.

As a friend.

I felt sorry for him. He's been through
a horrible divorce.

It wasn't exactly a fun divorce for me.
I didn't even get an award out of it.

Look, he needed to talk. He was lonely.
He was depressed.

He was broke. He didn't even have money
for gas.

Good. Then they can't get very far.

I gave him money.

Stephen, how could you give him money?

I hope you realize that could make you
an accessory.

An accessory?

Point of order, counselor.

Weren't you in the room when I gave him
the money? That makes you an accessory

once removed.

You have no right to call me that,
Stephen.

Cynthia, I was only trying to console
Richard. I had no idea that he'd try to

take Keith.

I'll get it.

Hello. Richard, just a second. I'll get
Cynthia.

Come on, Richard. You've got to talk to
her. I won't talk to you.

Look... Yeah, I guess so.

Okay.

I promise.

Where are you?

Okay, I'll leave right away.

What's going on? Is Keith all right?
Keith's fine.

Richard wants to talk this over. Well,
I'm going with you. He made me promise

I'd come alone.

How... How can I let you go? Cynthia,
Cynthia.

It's the only way.

Hey, Keith, how you doing?

Great, great, Mr. Keith. I just won a
free game.

Hey, way to go.

Hello, Richard.

Hi, Steve.

Thanks for coming.

Mind if I smoke?

Thanks. I hate to stop mid -pack.

Richard, what are you doing?

I'm not sure.

I'm confused as hell.

That's why I wanted to talk to you.

What you're doing is crazy.

Maybe. But there's no way I was going to
let her take him to San Diego.

You're breaking the law.

It's not about the law, Steve.

It's about my feelings.

It's about my life. What about Keith's
feelings?

What about Keith's life?

What are you talking about? Look, I am
doing this for Keith.

What are you doing for him, Rich? Making
him a fugitive?

You have no money. You don't know where
you're going.

Leaving your job.

You're not doing this to help Keith.

You're doing it to hurt Cynthia.

Come on, Richard.

Let's go home.

You ever been to the pony ride?

Steve, I think we should stop at home
first.

I go every Sunday. I'm a regular.

That's what divorced fathers do on
Sunday.

You should see us there.

A bunch of lonely guys dressed like our
kids trying to do the impossible.

Trying to love against the clock.

Waving as they come trotting toward us
and drying our eyes when they make their

turn.

We're a club. We ought to get jackets.

We're Sunday's fathers.

Sunday's fools.

Coffee? Oh, no, thanks. I came here to
talk.

What do you want to talk about? I can
talk about anything.

You name the subject and I'll talk.

Okay, I'll have that coffee.

Works every time.

Do you want some pie with that coffee?

You tell me.

A little thing.

Richard, why did you ask me to come
here?

You want me to say you're doing the
right thing? That Cynthia drove you to

That you have no choice? That I do the
same thing in your shoes?

Yes, that's pretty much what I want you
to say.

Well, I can't say that. Well, you just
said it.

I can't say it and mean it.

You and Cynthia have got to talk this
out. We're through talking, Steve.

Now I'm doing this my way. Your way is
not going to work.

How the hell do you know so much about
this Keaton? I know you're making a big

mistake, Buster.

Don't call me Buster Keaton.

I didn't call you Buster Keaton.

I didn't say you called me Buster
Keaton. Can we stop this Buster Keaton

business?

I don't agree with what you're doing.

I do not support it.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot, Steve.

I'm glad I can come to you in my time of
need.

Let's go, Keith. Richard, you're doing
something wrong. It's not wrong,

You haven't lived it.

You can't know how I feel.

But I know what you're doing.

You and Cynthia are at war.

You're taking prisoners.

He's been gone for over two hours now.

Try to calm down, Pinty. You're not
making it any easier on yourself.

I know Keith isn't wearing a sweater.
Richard never makes him wear a sweater.

Where's Keith?

What happened?

The only thing I can tell you is that
he's okay.

He's not coming back?

I tried. Richard wasn't listening.

No luck, huh, Dad?

I tried, Alex. I really tried.

Yeah, I know you did.

You know what I was just thinking about?

What? Lake Hiawatha.

I'm glad I didn't hazard a guess.

Christmas 79. Remember we shared a cabin
up there with the Baileys?

How can two people who loved each other
so much... You really did love each

other. I know. I had the room next to
them. They really did love each other.

Anyway, Dad, I'm going to be really sure
when I get married.

Well, I'll be rooting for you, son. I
hope you'll be one of the lucky ones.

You know, you are.

I know.

Sure, your mom and I fight once in a
while, but you're right.

But I'm closer. No, I think I'm closer.
No, anyway, I think it's my turn.

Hello.

Just a second. Alex, it's for you. Who
is it? I don't know, some girl. I'll

it upstairs.

You know, I could have gotten the phone.

I know.

But the stupidest fight.

One of the all -time stupidest.

You ready to make up?

Real ready.

I don't like it when we fight.

Neither do I, but I love making up.

Stephen, do you notice how we always
seem to fight just before Richard and

Cynthia come over? I guess we see a
little of ourselves in them, and it

us. They once had a wonderful marriage,
and it's over.

We've got to keep working at it.

You're a very persuasive guy, Stephen.

Keith!

Sit, Ubu, sit.

Good dog.
