All language subtitles for Cupid and Cate (2000) 1080p

You too. Bye.

The Washington post, sir ?
Here you are.

Good morning, nap.
Good morning.
How are you ?

Thank you.
Have a nice day.
You too. Bye.

Hi.
Morning, Cate.

Second time around.
Hey, Cate,
it's Francesca.

Oh, uh, frannie.
Hi. How ya doin' ?

It's daddy's birthday
on Saturday, and you're
coming to the party.

Oh, lovely.
A family occasion to dread.
I'm not going.

Oh, yeah ?
Are you gonna plan to have
chicken pox that day ?

That's what
you said last year.

A person can only have
chicken pox once in their life,
and trust me, you have had it.

How long you gonna keep
making things up ?

Until dad apologizes.
Until his funeral.

That I'll go to. Look,
I'm really swamped and I'll
talk to you later, okay ? Bye !

Hey, hey--
hey, Cate, wait !

Hi.
Hi.

Funny, I just got off
the phone with Francesca.
Oh, daddy's party ?

Is this supposed to be
an annual event now ?

Well, frannie wants to.
You know, since mom died.

Anyway, it's a chance
to see everybody.
Who ?

All the old paesans
stuffing themselves
on manicotti...

And talking about
baseball games
they saw in 1948 ?

We'll be there.
Oh, sorry.

I know. I just--
you know how it is.

Just make an appearance.
Then you and Philip can have
some function you have to go to.

Anyway, here are the things
I told you about.

I know they're not what
you usually carry, but--
well, you never know.

Great.

I won't keep you.
Oh, Cynthia's coming down
for the party too.

Okay, okay.
Say no more.

- Hi.
- Yeah.

We're just looking.

You got any fatigues
or combat boots ?
No.

Nothing like that.
I sell vintage clothes.

Second time around.
Hi. Uh--
Hi, it's me.

Please, be careful with that.
It's really fragile.
It's Philip.

I know, I just--
I have, uh, customers.

Oh, great. Sorry.
Sorry to bother you.

Tonight, don't bother to cook.
I'll pick something up
on the way.

I'll be there around 7:00.
Okay. All right.

- Well, I'll see you then. Bye.
- Bye.

That's an original.
It's nice, isn't it ?

It'd be a cool vest.
Just cut off the sleeves.
Yeah.

You can't. I mean,
because it goes with the skirt,

and it's not for sale
as a separate.

Let's go.

Lillian, darling,
you still need time to recover.

And I've been thinking.

Why don't we cancel
the party this weekend
and go away somewhere ?

Just the two of us.

How about that cabin in the
mountain where she's planning
to throw you off a cliff ?

Perhaps the cabin
in the mountains.

You know it's beautiful there
this time of year.

Leave on Friday.
How could we possibly do that ?

Just get on
a plane and go.

Just to avoid a party ?

People do it
all the time. Go to
Paris for the weekend.

Come on.
Wouldn't it be great ?

Just take off.
Get away from all of them.

No arguments,
no bickering.

Yeah.
Come on. You don't
like my family anyway.

I do--
I like your family.
I do like them.

They're noisy when they eat,
but I like them. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

We could go
someplace quiet,
someplace nice,

just the two of us.

Um, when is it again,
the party ?

Do we really
have to go ?

Yes, we have to go.
It's your family.

When is it again ?

Saturday.

Come on.
Just humor me.

Just tell me you're
gonna take me away
someday, somewhere.

You don't
have to mean it.
Just say it.

Just say it.

What ?

Never mind.

Knock, knock.
Ah, Cate !

Come in.
Come in.
Hello.

Look at you.
How are ya ?

Good. And you ?
Mmmm.

Ah. Look, I'm all dirty.
Here, take that.

Ohhh. Beautiful.
Thanks.
Come on.

I have a little surprise
for you. Oh. God.

Oh, Willie,
these are fabulous.
Yeah.

That's a good one.
Where did you get them ?

Here and there, you know.
Come on.

You don't find
this kind of quality
at garage sales.

No, you don't.
Come on !

Oh, all right,
I'll tell ya.

Seeing as I've sold you my shop,
I might as well give you
my last little secret, yes ?

You ready ?

Here.
There you are.

Funerals. Yep.
Huh ?

The obituaries ?
The obituaries.

And you know,

the family's
usually very glad
to have somebody around.

To help out, you know,
to dispose of things, and,

of course,
I split the proceeds
with them if they sell.

- Wicked, eh ?
- No. It's a service, really.

Yes, it is a service
to them and to you.

Well, the "if they sell" part
isn't so perfect.

No, it's the fun, Cate.
Come on. Let's face it.
It's the fun.

You're here with a bundle of old
clothes, rummaging through them,
and what do you find ?

A genuine givenchy.
I mean, that's wonderful.

I mean, look at--
look at this green dress.

Oh.
Wouldn't that be
wonderful for your mother ?

The only woman in the world
who would wear every color
of green because of her hair.

Oh.
Listen to that.
Cha-cha-cha-cha.

Oh, Cynthia will love it.
Oh, Cynthia.

I'll take it for her.
I'd love to come
with you sometime.
Yes.

Well, you can.
You can come with me
anytime you like.

Oh, god. Willie !

Pierce !
Pierce !

Ah-ah-ah. He's gonna lose
one of those cuff links.

Tell me I'm right.
Cynthia never tells me
anything about the plot.

Imagine having him
for a brother-in-law.

- Well, he's not yet.
- Yeah, but you know him.

Oh, yeah.
What--
so ?

What you see
is what you get.

What I see
I'd be thrilled to get.

But, surnami, you said
saturn in my eighth house...

Did not mean Simon and I
would actually break up.

All right, listen, listen.
My sister's here.
I'll call you later.

Okay. Bye.
Hey, sweets.
Hi.

Hi. Mmmm.

What's this about Simon ?
Are you breaking up ?

We had a huge fight.
He thinks he's Pierce Covington.

Talks with an English accent.
Calls me Olivia.

He says he can't commit.

After I've given him
two years of my life.

So I told him I should be
committed for dating him,
and I walked out.

Well, that's actors
for ya.

Right.
Like you'd know
from actors.

How's Mr. Phil ?
Philip ?
He's fine.

Are you here for
daddy's party already ?

I'm here
to nurse my wounds.
Ohh.

Dating a soap opera star
is bad enough.

Dating a soap opera character
is ludicrous.

So, what about
Philip ?

Is anything
happening there ?

I'm quite content, thank you.

"Quite content" ?

Sounds madly exciting.
Snore.

Oh. Oh, oh, oh.

It's not for you.
Remember mom's dying words ?

"Green... not good on you."

I wanted to fix the sequins
before you saw it.

Oh, you sweetie.
Can I try it on ?
Yes.

I'm sure you'll
want it shorter.
Mm-hmm.

Oh.

Oh !

Those steps.

Don't you have
anything new ?

Uh, no.
I sell secondhand
and consignment.

Just like
the sign says.
What do you think ?

Ohh. Pretty.

Mmm.
Very foxy.

Very, very nice.

Well, I hate secondhand.
I've got a thing about it.

You know.
Someone else's clothes ?

Really ? Maybe you should
see a doctor about that.

Oh, cute.

Real cute.

Why did you
treat her like that ?
Like what ?

As if she smelled.

She wasn't gonna buy.
She wanted new stuff.

Couldn't you have said,
"my stuff's not new,

but it's the finest
in designer wear" ?

You could have shown her
something that was more
her style, or at least her size.

She didn't appreciate
my stuff.
Wake up, Cate.

- What are you running here,
a museum or a store ?
- I can't force people to buy.

They have to want my stuff.
You can
encourage them.

I mean, look at
this place. It's drab.
I-I'm sorry, but it is.

It should be romantic and fun.
Slap some paint on the walls.

Brighten it up.
Oh, here.
Nicer bags would help.

And doors on
the dressing rooms.
These curtains are ghastly.

And full-length mirrors
inside.

Cynthia, stop.
I know your projects.

In a minute you'll be telling me
I need ferns and cupids.

- No ferns,
but cupids might work.
- I don't have any money.

Oh, catie.
You don't need money.
You have me.

You know I can't do that.

Sweetie,
you have to
do something.

Or else you'll be back
working at the Pentagon.

Let's just make a list.
A list doesn't
cost anything.

I know you--
okay.
Pentagon.

Hello.
Hi, Cate, it's me.

Hi. Where are you ?
I'm sorry. Listen.

I can't make it.
I have an emergency meeting
with Grant winthrop in New York.

New York ? Aw.
Yes, I'm at
the airport now.

I'm sorry. It just came up.
So explain to your father
for me, okay ?

Philip, you're sending me
into battle alone.

I know. I'm sorry.
I have to do this, Cate.

Okay.
Okay ? Bye.

Bye.

No, he didn't !

He did.
You're kidding.

Ah. So the big
businesswoman...

Arrives an hour late, huh ?

- Happy birthday, dad.
- Swamped with customers,
is that right ?

Not exactly. Here.
It's from Philip too.

- Oh, thanks.
- He had an emergency at work.
Couldn't make it.

You ought to marry that guy.
I don't know why
you're dragging your feet.

Anyway, I think there's
some food left. Go get some.

...what kind of
artifacts you can find.
Is that right ?

Now, where do you
find them ?
Hey.

Hi, Cate.

Sweets. Thank you.
Nice dress.

Daddy loves your cannoli,
signora coretti.
Molto grazie.

Oh, good, Cate,
you made it.
Hi.

Hi.
Where's Philip ?

He had
an emergency at work.

"We love you mad" ?

I telephoned the order in.
They made a mistake.

Hey, how's my
favorite sister-in-law ?

I thought I was your favorite.
You are.
You're all my favorite.

Oh, well, why don't we
just change the "m" to a "d" ?

We can stick
an "l-y" on the end.
"We love you madly."

It's perfect the way it is.
He's always mad
about something.

Annette, could you put
the cannoli in the fridge ?
Sure.

- Cate, maybe you could--
- get out of the room ?
I can do that.

Okay, Mr. Attorney.

What's black and brown
and looks good on lawyers ?

Doberman. All right,
what's the lawyer's creed ?

I don't know.
You're innocent until proven broke.

All right.
What's the difference between
a lawyer and a catfish ?

What is it ?
One's a bottom-feeding scavenger
and the other's a fish.

Oh, you're back already ?

I thought you went upstairs
to iron your blouse.

Oh, daddy, if you knew anything
about fashion, you'd know
her outfit is very chic.

She looks like
she slept in it.
What's chic about that ?

I'm sure
you think that shirt is
the height of fashion.

Hey, I-I-I don't claim
to be an expert.

And I don't try
to make a living selling
other people's castoffs.

Is that blouse an example
of your merchandise ?
Oh, no wonder.

- No wonder what ?
- No wonder you have to come
home to get a decent meal.

Look at you. You're thin,
you're pale. But I guess
that's chic, too, isn't it ?

Daddy,
you're impossible ! Here.

Caitlin.
Father Francis.
How are you ?

You're looking
very beautiful today.
Thank you.

I was thinking it's a shame
your blessed mother isn't here,

and then there you are,
looking like her twin.

I'm sure she's happy
where she is.
Ah.

It's a grand occasion,
though, you have to admit.
Grand.

Ah. Ha-ha-ha !
Just what I wanted.

Oh-ho.
Get a load of that, huh ?

♪ For he's
a jolly good fellow ♪

♪ for he's
a jolly good fellow ♪

♪ that nobody
can deny ♪♪

- Need any help ?
- No, thanks.

- Oh, hi.
- Hi.

- Can I get you something ?
- I'll get it.

So... you're Cate.

That's right.
You're Cynthia's--

attorney.
One of them.
Harry diedrich.

Uh, I think
your blouse is great.

Thank you.
It's turn-of-the-century,
isn't it ?

Yeah. How do
you know that ?

I think that was
my grandmother's.
So, she want it back ?

Get the coffee.
Too late.
Coming through.

Good. I wanted you two
to meet. Harry just
moved here from New York.

Oh, that looks good.

Hot coffee.
Yeah.
Any sugar in here ?

This cabinet.
The other way.

Get forks and knives.
Oh. Excuse me.

Just grab some out
of the dishwasher.

Napkins in the drawer ?
I'll wash these up.

Yeah, I got 'em.
And an extra plate.

I feel
so close to you.

Francesca's the oldest, right ?
I met her when I arrived.

She seemed
very determined.
Oh, yes.

She's an internist,
you know.

Very successful,
but it took determination.

More than
the usual.
Oh ?

Well, first
she got a scholarship
to Johns Hopkins at 17.

Then got pregnant.

Got packed off to a home
for unwed mothers.

But after the baby
was born, she and Jerry...

Refused to give her up
and got married.

And then she became a doctor ?

- Are you sure this
isn't too boring ?
- No.

Uh, dad said,
"no sense wasting a good mind,"

and bullied her into taking
the scholarship anyway.

And Annette, the blond ?

Great mother, great wife.

That's her banker husband,
Paul, on the gazebo.

The matching girls are theirs.

Check out the clothes.
The whole family's
color-coordinated.

When we were kids,
frannie and Annette
were dad's favorites,

until Cynthia
hit puberty and
turned into--

Cynthia.
Yeah.

So, there's
Francesca the doctor,

Annette the perfect wife,
Cynthia the super model,

and Caitlin...
The rag seller.

Not exactly my father's
darling child.

Well, I think
you're something.

And very beautiful too.

Oh.

Caitlin,
thanks for the gloves.

Oh, Harry, right ?
The bottom-feeding scavenger.

That would be me !

My dad.

You-- you wanna
get outta here ?

Yeah.
With a bottom-feeder ?

Yeah.
All right.

Thanks.

I know you're
seeing someone, but, uh,

I'd like to
call you anyway.

That's not a good idea.
I'm gonna call you.

You don't
have to call back.

I should go.

Hi, it's Cate.
Leave a message.

Hi, Cate.
It's Philip.

You back
from the party ?
Hello ?

If you're there,
pick up.

All right. Well, um,
I'm at the St. Regis.

You have the number.
I'll be back in
my room about 7:00.

Call me, please.
I love you. Bye.

He's completely smitten.
I could tell.

Stop playing cupid, okay ?
I don't need it.

You need some passion
in your life.

You think you're
in love with Philip,
but he's just a habit.

- Maybe it's time for a change.
- Speaking of someone who just
broke up with her own habit,

you're not exactly speaking
from a position of strength.

Hmm.

Maybe they're
from St. Anthony's,
when it burned down.

Clean 'em up, strip 'em,
put a door frame around 'em.

You mean
you like them ?
They're beautiful.

Ah. Huh ?

Anyway, you're hardly
the first woman
to dump a guy...

Because she fell
for someone else.

I'm not dumping anyone
and I haven't fallen for anyone.
I'm gonna marry Philip.

Really ?
Where's the ring ?

Or did I miss something ?

Let's go see mom.

I hope heaven's
a big cocktail party,

and she's
the center of attention
in her red suit.

With a dry Martini.
Probably her third.

This always bugged me.
His name there.

It should just read,
"beloved wife and mother."

Well, he was
her husband...

And he loved her.

We were always sure
to find our catie under the bed
whenever they yelled.

When he yelled, you mean.

Come on.
H-He never let up on her.

She spent half my childhood
in the gazebo crying.

And getting pie-eyed.

That's where
she stashed her bottles.

Yeah, well,
it was his fault
she drank, anyway.

Come on, Cate.
She was an alcoholic.

You've never said
a bad word about dad.

No, I haven't,

and I hate it
that you do.

I wish I could find
a man half as good.

Wasn't that hard for me.

Of course
they want to see you.

Th-they always ask
if you're coming
with me. They do.

This potato salad
is delicious. Unusual.

Place in the village
makes it fresh.

- Would you like some more ?
- Thank you.

You know, I was
thinking about Cate
just last week.

- Why was that, mother ?
- I saw Sarah deville
at the whitmans'.

You remember her, don't you ?
She's married to Paul deville.

Cousin of Peter,
the one who raises horses.

- Oh, yes.
- Why were you thinking
about Cate, dear ?

Sarah had a connection
with Valentino.

She can't be that old.
Isn't she our age ?

I think Mrs. Traynor means,

um, the couture designer,
not the actor.

Oh, of course
the designer.

Laurence, what are you
talking about ?

Anyway, Sarah has closets
filled with valentinos...

That are
terribly out-of-date.

So, of course,
I thought of Cate.

That's-- that's very kind.
I'd love some valentinos,
if she'd like to sell them.

So, Cate, your little shop
is doing well, is it ?

Getting a lot of donations ?

Consignments, actually,
but, um...

Yeah.

Philip ?
Uh-huh.

I wanna ask you
something.
Fire away.

What are you
doing with me ?

What ? "Doing" ?
What--

what do you
see in me ?

I can't categorize it.
Try.

All right. Okay. Um--

you're nice to me.
Excuse me.

Go on.

Uh--

you make me feel good.
You're not demanding.

"Demanding."
you know, you don't--
you don't...

Badger me
to go places and do things
I don't wanna go or do.

But, Philip,
these are things that describe
how I act towards you.

What is it about me
that you like ?

My own qualities.

I really don't see
where this is going.

I like everything.
You're perfect.

Don't change.
Okay ?

Please get in the car.

Remodel incorporated.
Let us remodel you.
Harry !

Yes, she's here.

Isn't she ?

What did I tell you ?
Here.

Hello ? Hi.

Oh.

Remodeling, yeah.

Cynthia talked me into it.

Now ?

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay. Bye.

- What did he say ?
- Nothing.

Nothing ?

We're having coffee.

Listen, Harry is charming,
handsome and smart.
It's okay to like him.

It's just coffee.

What do you call
this color anyway ?

"Ghost of you."

You expect me to choose
a color from nail Polish ?

Why not ?
They're great colors.

I think
it'll look amazing.

Well, that wasn't
enough for Gus.

So he befriended the widow
who lived one floor below us.

In the same building ?
Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

But she had two sons,
ex-marines both,

Who did not
approve of Gus.

So he'd put on
an overcoat,

a hat, a scarf,
fake mustache--

in the middle of the summer--
and he'd go down the fire escape
to call on the widow.

And my mom
eventually took him back.
Forgave him.

And after she died,
he went out to California
to do the racetrack circuit,

where he died of a coronary.

But it sounds like
you liked him.
Oh, yeah.

What a character.

Sure I can't get you somethin' ?
It's gettin' on lunch.

Oh. No, I have to go.

Oh. Okay.

There's a Hitchcock festival
this week at the uptown.

Oh, really ?

They always look
so much better
on the big screen,

especially
the black-and-white ones.

You don't get
that contrast on TV.

Was that a yes ?

How 'bout a ride ?
Uh--

no, thanks.
I'll walk.

Well, I'll check
the movie times,
give you a call.

Whatever.

Have you got time to come
to another house with me ?

Um, I feel like I should
get back to the shop and
keep an eye on Cynthia.

Okay. I'm so glad
you're doing it up.

Yeah ?
It needed that.

I miss it.
The shop ?

Yeah, more than
I thought I would.

It's all that kind of,
you know, the chatting.

The talking to people.
That's what I really,
really miss.

Well, you can come back
anytime you want, you know.
Yeah.

Look, honestly.
Look at these weeds.

You'd think somebody
would give them a whack.

- Oh, look !
What have we got here ?
- What ?

He's seen better days.
A little cupid.

Ah, look.
Cynthia and I were just talking
about cupids for the shop.

There, there.
Look. See ?
He's smiling.

Do you want him ?

Well, he's cute, isn't he ?
Well, he's a saucy
little chap.

Come on. Let's ask
how much they want for it.

Okay.

Is it heavy ?
Yes.

Actually, I could help you
with the books.
Yes.

- You gonna make sure the kids are okay ?
- Yes.

Feel like Chinese ?

You said a movie.
We did the movie.

You never said
a movie and dinner.

Takeout is hardly dinner.
We wouldn't have to go out.

We could eat
on your balcony.
Wait--

h-how did you know
I have a balcony ?

All the apartments
in your building have
a balcony, don't they ?

Oh, right.

Ah.
This is great.

I'm sorry.
Do you want a plate ?

No, I thought we could eat
family style, if that's
all right with you.

Oh, sure.
That's great.

Mm. Fried rice.
Good.
Is it good ?

Want some ?
Try it.
Okay.
Wanna try mine ?

Sure.

Mm. This is
one of my favorites.

Can I get you
some longer chopsticks ?

I know--

I know, I... hunch
over my food like--

like I'm afraid
somebody's gonna take it.

I call it
the "immigrant hunch."

My whole family does it.

I like that,
"immigrant hunch."

Hmm ?
Uh-uh.

I'll stick
with the broccoli.
No, I want it back.

No.

So I took the money
my mother gave me...

And I quit my job...

And... opened a shop.

And I'm glad I did,

except sometimes when I look
at my bank statements.

Ah, doing work you enjoy
is worth everything.

So you love what you do ?
I do. It's mostly
small-time stuff,

but my clients have
real problems, and sometimes
I can help them.

You were washing dishes
the first time we met.

And you pulled your hand
out of the sink
still wet and soapy...

And shook
my hand anyway.

I liked that.
Oh, you did ?

You didn't hesitate.

Good night.

Cate, it's Philip.
Listen, would you meet me at
the hay-Adams at 8:00 tonight ?

And why don't you wear
that little black dress
that I like ? Bye.

I've been doing
some thinking,

And do you remember
the other day when you asked me
what I saw in you ?

Well, I think I know
what you were asking,

and the thing is
that we seem to get along
so well most of the time--

almost all the time--
that, uh,

we've never
had to talk about it.

I mean, we make
a great team,
don't you think ?

Yeah. I'm not sure
"team" is the right word.
Yeah, uh,

but you know
what I mean, right ?

I don't want to lose you.

I want you to stick around.

Permanently.

- Are you sure ?
- Yes. Yes.

Because you're
comfortable with me ?

Catie, you...

Are a very... kind person.

You remind me
why it matters.

So, shall we
set a date ?

I hope you're not doing this
because you're afraid
I would leave you.

No. No, I'm doing it
because it's, uh--

makes sense--
it's the next logical step.

You're right.

That's great.
That's wonderful.

That is wonderful.

Hi.
You know,
I've been thinking.

It's not enough just to do
a face-lift here.

You need a whole new
approach to selling.

A snazzy new logo,
lots of publicity.

Are you sure
about this color ?

Trust me.
What is that ?

Where did you
get it ?
Oh. A friend.

- Is it too much ?
- No, I love it.

Maybe over there
by the dressing rooms.

Might work.

Yeah. Maybe it
has already.

Have you fallen for Harry ?

You have, haven't you ?

I knew it, I knew it.
I am so clever.

Well, I like him.
"Like" ?

"Like" ? Is that all ?

He's so different
from Philip.

Yeah. Harry's alive.

All right.
If you must know,
Philip and i--

just goes to show you
that you should always listen
to your sister.

Excellent advice. Hey.

Hey.
Hey.

You've really
made progress.

Here, this is yours,
isn't it ?

Yeah.
Where'd you get it ?

Daddy found it
after the party.

Figured it'd be another year
before you got over there, so--
thank you.

Oh. Frannie,
my friend-- lawyer--

Harry needs
some sort of physical
for an insurance thing.

Is that something
you could do ?
Sure.
Have him call my office.

- I'll have someone set him up.
- I think the clasp is broken.

- Cate ?
- What ?

Is that a ring ?
Give me your hand.
Oh. Oh.

Cynthia.

Cynthia.

You might want to take
a look at this.

Oh, man !

Welcome, Philip,
to the family.

Here, Phil.
Cheers.

You'll be giving Caitlin
her first real job.
She'll be a good wife.

Wait. Excuse me.
What do you mean,
"first real job" ?

Cate, you've had 17 jobs
since you left college.

Don't think I haven't been
counting. But this one
is a keeper, right, Phil ?

- I certainly hope so, sir.
- And when my new grandchildren
start showing up,

then she'll really know
what a job is.

I already have a real job,
and in the unlikely event
that we have children--

what do you mean,
in the unlikely event
you have children ?

Is there something
the matter with him ?

No, there's nothing wrong
with either of us.

We haven't decided if we
want to have children.

Francesca. Is there
something wrong with your face ?

Because if there isn't,
stop squinting at your sister
like a 12-year-old kid.

If you have something
to say, say it.

Okay. I don't think
this is the time
to discuss this.

Oh, you don't think ?
Well, this is still my house.

As long as you're in it,
you can stop trying to run
other people's lives.

No, frannie,
you can't do that
because that's daddy's job.

- Philip, I'd like to leave.
- Oh, Cate, stop fussing.
Sit down.

- I don't want to sit down.
I want to leave.
- Then leave.

- Cate, let's just--
- leave.

- Well, thank you
for your hospitality.
- So long, Phil.

Good night. Good night.
Thank you and--

So, marriage, eh ?

How do you feel ?

I feel that...
Maybe I should be happier.

I can understand that.

Can you ?
Absolutely.

Before my marriage,
Mr. Hendley said to me...

That everything would be
one big, long party.

Monte Carlo,
south of France, corfu.

That sounds
like a nice party.
Yes, but you see, it wasn't.

I mean, all those...
Wasted hours.

I'd much preferred
to have been out here.

I have an absolute dread
of parties now.

This is where you should be,
with your plants, your flowers,
your fertilizer.

I've grown to love this dirt.
It nourishes things,
it grows things.

It protects things.
I love it.

So you regretted
your marriage ?

Oh, I wouldn't go
that far. No.

But I would say this, Cate.

I would say that...
My husband...

Was as dull as ditch water.

Without your mother's help,
I would never have made it
through the things...

That we called
our "little trials."

My father was
more than a trial.
Mm-hmm.

- If it wasn't for him,
she might still be here.
- Oh, come on, Cate !

You know your mother
had a brain tumor.

And before she died,
she said her tumor was--

was "full of fury
and the raging indignation
of the oppressed."

She must have been reading
too much Irish poetry,
if you ask me.

Would you do me a favor and
get that colander, please ?

Huh ?

Would you get
that colander ?

Oh, yeah.

That's a strainer.
The colander.

Thank you. Was that
just something between
you and your father,

or do you really not
want to have children ?

No. I don't think I do.

Why not ?

Well...

There are natural mothers
and there are natural aunts,

and I think
I'm a natural aunt.

Well, you could--
you could at least consider it.

I have considered it.

The way I see it,
once a woman has children,

nothing interesting
ever happens to her again.

I didn't know
you wanted children.
You never told me that.

There was no reason to,
was there ?

When you're done
with that basil, you could
start on the cilantro.

Except don't chop it up
like you did last time.

Just... let the leaves
remain whole.

What's the difference ?
It's all gonna get
mushed up together anyway ?

It's mother's recipe.

It'll be better this way.
You'll see.

Hello, Cate.
It's me, Harry.

Well, I heard about
your engagement, and i-i--

I don't know what to say,

except I still hope
to hear from you again.

Bye-bye.

I know.
I'm late.

I was afraid
you would think
I wasn't coming.

Oh, I wouldn't
think that.

So, uh--

well, how's
the renovation ?

Uh, it's good.
It's really changing.

Cynthia has great ideas.
Some... great ideas.
Hmm.

Oh, I'll bet.

Listen, i--
I have a problem.

What is it ?
I'm sorry.
It's you.

I won't be
a problem anymore.

I-- but thank you
for calling.

'Cause I appreciate
being able to do this
in person.

I, uh--

I've fallen in love
with you.

That's my problem.
But I don't want to be
a problem for you.

But you are.

'Cause I've fallen in love
with you too.

Now, is that
gonna be a problem ?

Oh, that's a problem
I can live with.

And the last and perhaps
the most serious obstacle...

To meaningful
fiscal reform...

Is the continued efforts
of the lobbyists.

This particular donation
is extremely important.
In conclusion--

Philip ? This just
isn't gonna work.
Excuse me.

He's just trying
to impress the bankers.

I just can't sit here.
Cate.

Relax. We're almost
through here. Okay ? Relax.
Thank you very much.

Philip. I'm leaving.

Sweetheart, ten minutes.

We're gonna have some coffee,
and then we'll be out.

Relax.
This just isn't gonna work.

- Fiscal reform ?
- No, us.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

So, the ring
is nowhere in sight,

and you and Harry
are awfully cozy.

What are you
not telling me ?

- Nothing.
- Oh.

So, the new mirrors
got here yesterday-- why are
you looking at me like that ?

So, it looks like we'll be ready
for the reopening next week.

Great. I'll come back.

Come back ?
Where are you going ?

Simon called
last night,

begging me to come back
to New York.
Oh, no !

I miss him.
So we're going to therapy.

Me and Simon
and Pierce Covington.

Thank goodness,
because if I stay
at daddy's much longer,

I'll be braiding my hair
and going to the orthodontist.

- Where is daddy ?
- Mm, he said he'd be late.

Something about
the plumbing next door.

I think he's got something going
with the widow currington.

Cate, I love it.
Thank you.

Oh, you're welcome.
It's great.
Look at this.

We've got to get--
hey, hey, where's
my birthday girl ?

Hey !
Hello, darling.

Hey, dom.
Hi, hi, hi, hi.

This is that
rice cooker thing
that you always wanted.

Oh, thank you.
Oh, daddy, thank you.
I got a good deal on it.

Happy birthday, honey.

I hope I didn't
miss the meal.

Daddy,
you remember Harry.

Oh, yeah. Hi.
Hi, Harry.

Dominic, how are you ?
Fine, thanks.

This may be a little sudden,

but while we're all
assembled here, I, uh--

I've asked
your youngest daughter,
Cate, to marry me.

- And she said yes.
- Yes ! Yes !

Wait a minute.
Didn't you just
get engaged with--

oh--
you are so devious !

We need
more champagne !

Congratulations.

My, my, my.
Well.

Philip moved out,
and Harry moved
right in, huh ?

I move fast.
Yes, yes.

Sit down.
Sit down, Harry.
Make yourself at home.

Well, well,
well, well.

Here.
What's up ?
No, I don't want any.

I don't want any.
Are you all right ?

I'm going upstairs.
What do you have
to offer my daughter, Harry ?

I mean,
I hardly know you.

You come from a good family ?
I mean, uh, you have any money ?

Is your legal firm
top rank ? What ?

Uh, Harry doesn't do
corporate law, actually.

I asked him, catie,
not you.

Well, I'd say that your family
is almost as crazy as mine.

Ah ! Hmm.
Money ?
I have enough.

Prestigious law firm ?
Definitely.

Good, good, good.

So, uh, Harry,
why are you so special, then ?

- Because she said yes.
- Ah !

And we'd like
your blessing, Dominic.

But if you have any objection,
please, speak now.

Oh. Why bother ?

Caitlin hasn't cared about
what I've said for years,
have you, catie ?

Well, we both do care
what you have to say.

Oh, thank you.
Good. Good.

Well, then, uh,

I have no objection,
counselor.

Come on !
Let's celebrate, huh ?

Come on !
Celebrate !
Here we go.

I don't see any food.
What kind of a party
is this ?

Cate.
Cate, come here.
What ?

What ?
Come here.
I have to talk to you.

If you tell anyone
that I told you this,
I will deny it.

I could lose my license
for telling you.
What are you talking about ?

You remember Harry
came for his physical ?

The lab report on
his blood workup indicated
excessive white cells.

So we sent a sample
to an independent lab
for verification.

Now, we're not gonna know
anything until we get
the second labs,

and Harry doesn't know
anything yet.

Harry doesn't know what ?

I'm sorry,
but it looks like
Harry has leukemia.

Well, should we
even have a band ?

Is it too much ?
Maybe just a guitar.

Or a harp. Love harps.
If you can still find a harp.

Dominic called.
He wants trumpets
and lots of 'em.

He wants you all in white,
the bridesmaids in pink...

And a troupe of ring bearers
on Valentine's day.

Why didn't he call me ?
He was afraid you wouldn't
go for the trumpets.

Yeah.

Do you-- do you really
want a big wedding ?

If you do.

Well, it sounds
kinda awful--

dad yelling
at everybody and--

oh, I get the picture.

We could just, you know,
get married.

No ring bearers.
No anything, just us.

And we wouldn't have to
wait till Valentine's day.

We wouldn't have to
wait at all.

I'd like that.

Enough to do it ?

This is not all about
annoying Dominic, is it ?
No !

Not at all.
It's just if, if,
we want to and--

and I want to. Why wait ?

Go get married.
Yeah !

Stand over here.
Big smile.

Harry ?
Yes.

You take this woman
to be your wedded wife ?

I do.
And, Caitlin ?

You take this man to be
your wedded husband ?
I do.

Then by the power
vested in me...

By the great commonwealth
of Virginia...

I now pronounce you
man and wife.

You may kiss the bride, sir.

I, uh, I hope you're not
too disappointed--

no big wedding and all.
Cate and I preferred it
that way.

Give me that brace and bit,
will you ?

Caitlin's a grown woman.
She can do what she wants.

She's a lot like her mother.
Uh, the brace thing
you were talking about--

yeah, that thing with the handle
there-- the brown thing.
Oh.

Near the wire.
I don't know a screwdriver
from a socket wrench.

Don't worry. You don't need to
be handy with Caitlin around.

Yeah, okay--

get out from underneath.

You are something, Cate.

Don't you pay attention to
what anybody says to you ?

Couldn't you at least have
waited until we knew for sure ?

That would be--
that would be such a mistake.

He could live for years and
years and years and be fine.

Live for years, yes--
be fine, I'm not so sure.

Have you thought at all about
what your life is going to be
like with him ?

Hello. Hey.

Yeah, she's right here.
Hang on.

Cynthia.
Oh-- oh. Hello.

Mrs. Harry diedrich.

I am so happy for you !

You're the only one so far
who's actually said that.

What did dad say ?
Not much. He already got Harry
up on a ladder.

They seem to be hitting it off.

He likes Harry because
he stands up to him.

I stand up to him.
He doesn't like me.

You're his daughter.
Oh, hey, listen--

Simon is gonna come
to the opening so we'll
get some free press.

Oh, great. Fame at last.

Cynthia ?
Yeah.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

Oh, hi. You're home.

What's wrong ?

Is everything okay ?

- No.
- What ?

You remember the, uh--
insurance physical I had
a couple of weeks ago ?

Well, he called today--

I have leukemia.

You knew that, didn't you ?

Francesca told you.

She wasn't sure.

She told you before we
got married, didn't she ?

She didn't know for sure.

And I thought that if you knew,
or even suspected, that you'd--

make an informed decision
about my future ?

About our future ?

You didn't think
I was up to that ?

No, i--

I thought you wouldn't
want to marry me.

No.

I promised you a life i--
I may not have to give you.

I--

I love you sick or not.

I love you.

Oncology, please
pick up line four.

This morning we were shopping
for a laundry hamper.

Because Harry leaves his
dirty socks all over the floor.
And now--

this is so unreal.
When we were first married,

Jerry thought I was gonna
bring him breakfast in bed
every morning.

That was unreal.
I meant the chemo.

I know.
You know--

chemo is really rough.
And it gets worse as
the treatments go on.

You have to be
prepared for that.

Still having your
store opening ?
Oh, yeah.

Are you gonna go ?
Sure.

This dress is beautiful !
I love it.

I can keep those to the side
while you keep looking.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah, Cate.
Everything's marked--

everything's fine.
You're up and going. Okay--
great--

no !
No, no, no, no, hon,
you know me and parties.

I'll talk to you later.
Good luck.
Oh-- bye.

Hello.
Hi.
How are you ?

Hello, angel !
Cate, it looks great !

Thank you.
Paul.
Hi, Harry.

Hi.
How are ya ?
Good to see you.

Thanks for coming.
Oh.

She really
appreciates it.
Family solidarity.

That's right.
How you feeling ?

Great. Ask me
again next week.

Simon's here.

Where ?
Can't miss him.

Hey, how ya doin' ? Hi.
How are you ?

One more.
One more.

Look. It's named for me.
Oh.

What's going on ?

Haven't you ever heard of
Covington heights ?

That silly soap opera ?

I don't have time--
it's Pierce.

Cate !
Hello.

How are you ?
Good. How are you ?

Good. Good to see you.
The place looks great.

Thank you.
Can I have your autograph ?

Yeah, sure, sweetheart.
What's your name ?

You named it for me !
Yes, I did.

I might have to open
a New York branch. Harry--

how are you feeling ?
I'm sorry. You must be
tired of hearing that.

No ! Not at all. It's--
it's the brave smile I wear
that gets a little exhausting.

Cheers !
Cheers.

And this must be Harry ?

How are you ?

- Nice to meet you, Simon.
- Nice to meet you.

Cate, my publicist wants a word
with you if you have a moment.

Something about the post.

- The newspaper ?
- Your 15 minutes of fame
coming right up !

Wow.

Simon, look at these hats.
Aren't they beautiful ?

Cate's friend makes them.
I want all of our bridesmaids
to wear Arabella's.

Won't it be brilliant ?
Who's Arabella ?

If Simon's I.Q. Was higher
than the speed limit,
he'd never survive Cynthia.

Can't be easy living
with a goddess.

Tell me about it.

Since I was 13 she's
made me feel ordinary.

There's nothing ordinary
about you.

You're a lot
to live up to, doctor.

Hey, everybody. Downstairs--
group picture.

Oh, boy.

Just a little closer.
Make sure I can see everyone.

Right there.
Okay, hurry up
and take the picture.

- It's... really cold.
- All right.

Smile.

Oh, Harry--
yeah.

Harry, here it is.
Sister of top model,

Cynthia Deangelo, Caitlin
diedrich, shows fashion flair..

More attune to Manhattan
than Cleveland park.

This tiny shop is a retro gem,

its vintage clothing
romantic and glamorous.

Perfect for the 21st century.

Congratulations !

You're a hit.
Wanna see ?

Yeah.

Hm.

Hmm.

Are you gonna be sick again ?

Absolutely.
Probably not in the next,
uh, two, three minutes.

You'll be okay.

We'll get through this.

- Aren't you going into
the shop today ?
- No.

No, I thought i'd
stay home with you.

I hate you seeing me
sick like this.

But this is how you are.

This is--
this is what we've got.

True.

And soon I'll be begging
you to stay home with me.
But go.

Take that with you.

Just a minute.

Oh.

- Hi.
- How are ya ?

Fine. How's it goin' ?

Come on in.
Oh, thanks.

This time good for you ?
Sure, sure.

I thought maybe we could
play a little chess.

You play chess, don't you ?
A little.
Can I get you something ?

No, I'm fine. Thanks.
I got 52 varieties
of herbal tea.

You sure ?
Nah, thanks--

I don't blame you.
Where do you want
to do it ? Here ?

Is this all right ?
Yeah, it's fine.

Yeah.

Check and mate.

Where'd you learn to do that ?

Service.
You were in the service ?

Yeah, just after college,
before law school.

Oh ! All right.

As one serviceman to another.

Have a look at this.

Wow ! Which one are you ?

Me at the end there.

Where was this ?
Korea, '51.

I still got a hunk of shrapnel
in my shoulder to remind me.

Purple heart ?
Yeah.

And a Navy cross.

Wow. What happened ?

Well, we were patrolling
offshore to pick up some pilot
that got shot down--

and me and my best buddy, Kenny,
this guy here--

we were working
the forward turret.

We got a direct hit just below
the gun mount, and, uh--

a couple of seconds of like
the whole world was on fire--

I knew the magazine was
gonna go because we had
powder bags all over.

So I managed to get hold of
the hose and I'm hosing
everything down, and--

finally, I see Kenny on
the deck. He was burnt.

Oh, he was burnt bad.

So, uh, I finally
got him out, and--

carried him topside.

It was over.

They say we saved the ship,
so they gave me a medal.

Kenny got one, too,

but, uh, his was posthumous.

I'm sorry.

It's the way it goes.

Why don't you--
why don't you stretch out ?
Lay down. Be comfortable.

You know, don't mind if I do.
Good. Come on.

I'll give you a hand.

Here, let's put this
over you.
Yeah, thanks.

All right, thanks.

You don't have to tuck me in.
It's all right.

I'm sorry.

It's a--
it's an old habit.

Cate.
Hi.

- What are you doing here ?
- Well, someone should
be with him.

You weren't.

You're home early.
What's up ?

I'm pregnant.

Really ?

Is this too much ?
Can you handle it ?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

We're gonna have a baby ?

Hello !

He can't talk yet.

Gotta start somewhere.

Congratulations, mom.

You too.

Annette's worked
very hard on this.

Everything is
guaranteed nutritious.

Uh-oh.
No, no, you'll like it.

It's good. You'll see.

Okay. This is the tofu Turkey.

Tofu Turkey.

Well, it's not really Turkey.
Ah, I was hoping
it wasn't really tofu.

And this is yogurt
and flaxseed.

It's a great source of omega-3s.
And you can put flax on
anything-- cereal, seaweed.

The wall.

You know, I prefer
my seaweed with a little
bit of mustard and relish.

Harry, you'll get used to it.
It's really good.

- And good for ya.
- So, any questions ?

How 'bout we order Chinese ?

I guess I'm not dying after all.
Well, not right away anyway.

You got a long way
to go yet.

What do you mean ?

Well, technically
your husband's in remission.

But it can reoccur at any time.
However, the effects
of the chemo--

the weight loss and nausea--
should ease off in a few days.

Okay, Harry ?
It's okay with me.

We'll see you in two weeks.
All right.

Thank you, doctor.

Cate !

Oh, hi.

How are you ?
I'm good-- I'm great.

Oh, yes.
Well, congratulations !

- Thanks.
- And how's Harry ?
I understand that he--

he's great. He's good.
Look, honestly--

if there's anything, anything
I can do, don't hesitate.

May I introduce Carol,
my fiancée ?
Hi.

Oh ! Oh-- uh.
Congratulations.
Nice to meet you.

I-- I think that's great.

- Ah, so good to see you.
- You too.

- You look, um, so--
- enormous ?

No ! No, no, no, no.
No, you look-- wonderful.

Content.

It's a good look.

- Well, we better run.
- Me too.

It was nice to meet you.

Nice meeting you.

Congratulations.

See you. Come on. So ?

She's great.

Listen, we got a 7:00
tee time tomorrow.

We're still looking
for a fourth.
Aw, I wish I could be there.

Where you playin' ?
Rock creek !

Aw !
Thanks, Francesca.

I mean, how you
feeling anyway ?
Oh, pretty good.

Yeah, 'cause I hear your last
test results were really great.

Yeah, they were. I just
got 'em back this morning.
How'd you find out ?

From the family news network
over there ?
Wasn't me. Cate told us.

Harry, you look good but I wish
you'd put on some weight.

Yeah, you might wanna start
doing a little walking
every day, if you like.

For heaven's sakes.
Leave the man alone.

A bunch of interfering women.

I love the interference.
And so do you.

Especially when they interfere
with a good meal.

Cooking is one thing, but they
don't have to run our lives.

No, cooking's, cooking's fine.
And frannie can be a doctor,

as long as she sets the table...

And does the dishes.

She wouldn't be a doctor
if it wasn't for me.

I wanted her to go on
to be a surgeon.

It's never enough, is it ?

You're criticizing me for
helping your sister make
something of herself ?

It's the fourth of July.
We're all here together.

Let's just be happy.
Harry, let's go.

You're not walking out on
another family dinner, are you ?

Oh, honey, come on.
Where are you going ?

Take, take my purse.
I'm going to the hospital
so I can have a baby.

Really ?
Yes, really.

I dare you to tell me
I look beautiful.

You do.
You're beautiful.

And so is this
tiny little boy.

Didn't feel so tiny
to me.
No.

What do you think ?

I think he's perfect.

Still a little red
and wrinkly.

But tough.

Are you okay back there ?

Yeah.

Hi !
Surprise !

Hey.
Hey.

I was just saying how great it
was to be home and alone again.

Dinner is in the oven on low.
The table is set.

And the crib is all made up.

And we... are out of here.
Oh, just a sec.

He looks just like that
cupid in the store.

Come on. You can
admire the baby later.
Oh !

That's better, huh ?
Bye !

Thanks, you guys.

Thanks. Bye-bye.

Now, I think you could use
a few more sisters.

Anyone else I can expect today ?

No, just me--
me and the little guy.

It's good to be home.

Yeah.

Are you asleep ?
I can hear you blinking.

Oh, I think our
sleepin' days are over.

I'm lying here thinking
about Patrick.

What might become of him.

He's gonna be just like you.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Pretty soon he'll be driving.

And we'll be lying awake,
waiting for him to come home.

Then you can go out
and get him.

I will too.

I know you will.

Aren't you a little worried ?

Right now I'm just happy
to look at him.

Think we're up to this ?

Oh, yeah.

It's way past time you
learned how to walk, pal.
Good morning.

Oh, Cate. Come here, come
here, come here. Good news.

What ?
Profit, profit, profit,
four months in a row.

Even the hats
are selling.
No !

This is a definite
trend here.
Did you hear that ?

It looks like you're going to
be able to go to college,
after all.

Uh, I feel like I've been awake
since the day he was born.

Oh, darling, let me
hold him, please.

I'd love to, yes.

Oh !
Sleepy.

Cynthia's.

Yes.

What-- where ?

Oh !

Stay with him.
I'll be back.

He's doing fine.
Tell me the truth.

His immune system is
suppressed. He appears
to be clinically stable.

But we'll watch him
for a few days.

I wish I had a stronger idea
that you people knew what
you were doing.

I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.
I feel the same way.

Sometimes, I think
we've beaten this thing.

Other times, it seems like
it's laughing at us.

We don't know it all.

Go home and
get some sleep.

We'll check on Harry
later tonight.

We'll call if
there's any change.

Seven pounds, 11 ounces.
You're getting so big.

Are you getting
any sleep ?
I nap at the hospital.

Oh.

Yes, sugar.

- I can give you a sedative.
- No, I'm all right.

Mm, Francesca.

Thanks for not saying,
"I told you so."

I'm sorry I can't make
everything better for you.

You're very brave, catie.

Do you want to see out there ?

Hi, Cate.
Hi.

I have something for the baby.
I was in the neighborhood...

So I thought I'd drop on up.

Oh, uh.

Yeah, that's--
that's really sweet, dad.

That's cute,
but he's-- he's asleep.

Oh. Well, I'll just
put it down here.
Okay.

So, uh, how's
Harry doing ?

He's good. He's holding
his own, whatever that means.

Good, good. Now,
can I see the baby ?

Well, I, um-- he was
up all night, so i'd
like to let him sleep.

I'm not surprised he's up
all night if he sleeps all day.

You don't have to go to
him every time he cries.
Let him cry.

He'll get the message.
Now, can I see the baby ?

Dad, I just put him down.
I don't want to wake him up.

I didn't ask you to wake him up.
I just want to look at him.

I want to see what he looks
like. Let me look at him.

Why do you have to look
at everything in terms of
how it affects you ?

He's asleep. Come back later,
or not. I don't really care.

But you can't see him now.
Please go.

I know what you're
afraid of, Cate.

You're afraid that Harry
will die, and you don't
want to live without him.

That's how I felt
about your mother.

But you're going
to live, Cate.

Your life won't be the same,
but you'll live.

How are you holdin' up ?

Me ?
Mm.

Well, Patrick is finally
sleeping through the night.

Great.

And, um, I told my father
to get lost...

Which, apparently, he has.

Why did you tell him
to do that ?

He just-- he dropped by
one too many times.

He showed up. I'd been up
all night with the baby, and
he wanted me to wake him up.

You know, he's lonely.

With good reason.

His wife is dead.
His daughters have left...

And have pretty good lives,
no small thanks to him.

Are you kidding ?

He's done nothing but
single me out from day one.

He tried to crush me,
like he did my mother.

I just, right now I just
want him out of my life.

There is so much more
to him than you can see.

And there's so much more
to you than he can see.

But our son deserves
a grandfather,

especially one that
wants to be around.

- If you die ?
- If I live, I want
him to know Dominic.

Is he still asleep ?

What ?
Is he still asleep ?

Yeah.

I'm sorry if I
wasn't very patient.

But this thing with
your dad is hurting you.

It's not good.

For you,
for any of us.

It's been going on
so long I can't--

I can't even remember
when it started.

We'll find a way
to end it.

You can do it.

Thank you, father.
I'm so glad you could do it.
Hello, Cate.

Thank you, father.
Hi, Harry.

It was a beautiful christening.
Say thank you, Patrick.

I say, "thank you,
father."

There you go.

You were great, pal.
You were great.

Good job, buddy.
Good job.

Thank you, father.
It was a beautiful service.

Aunt frannie.

Uncle Jerry.

Hi, sweetheart.
Aunt Annette.

Yeah, she gave
you that hat.

There's aunt Cynthia.

I see Caitlin's
keeping up your flowers.

Well, grace, they're all here.

Even the actor.

I think I'm gonna have to get
a larger dining room table.

Oh, Gracie. Gracie,
I miss you so much.

Just like you always
said I would.

Hi.

Oh, hi.

Oh, no, dad, wait, i--

this is as good a place as any.

Better than most.

Well, I owe you an apology--
not just for what
I said last week.

I was wrong--

dropping by without
calling first.
No, dad--

would you just let me say it ?

He was probably so stunned
to hear the word "apologize"...

Come out of Cate's mouth,
he didn't know what to
do with himself.

Grace, Maya, go and wash up.
We're eating in five minutes.

We don't know what
to do either.

What are you
talking about ?
Well, we don't.

Cynthia, you just spoil him.
And Francesca is too busy.

I have always thought
it was Cate's issue,
and it didn't affect me.

But let's face it.
It affects all of us.

Oh, thank you.

Is anybody talking
to anybody ?

I tried that--
didn't work.

Caitlin--

what went on between
me and your mother had
nothing to do with you.

Fine.

At your age, I should think
you'd understand that.

I understand everything.
I saw the way you treated her.

I thought you hated her.
I used to dream about--

running away with her
so she could have some peace.

Don't tell me how
I felt about my wife !

You thought
I didn't love your mother ?
How could you think that ?

Because you yelled at her
like you're yelling at me !

I'm sorry. Maybe
I didn't understand.

I-I was trying to say
I was sorry.

Well, better late
than never, I guess.

That's not good enough,

whether you accept
her apology or you don't.

Mind your own business,
Francesca.

This is my
business, damn it !

Don't curse at
this table !

You know what ? Your yelling
doesn't intimidate me.

You know what it does ?
It gives me a headache.

From now on, if you have
anything to say to me--

anything at all-- you will
say it in a respectful
manner, like a human being.

You finished ?
No, we're not.

Well, at any rate,
I'm not.

You can't even accept
Cate's apology...

Without sticking in
your two cents' worth
of anger and bitterness.

Well, it's not right.
And I'm not gonna sit here
and let it go by.

Honey.
No, I'm tired of smiling and
pretending everything's okay.

- It's not okay.
- You have no right
to say that to me.

I don't see any of you
raising four kids--

and building a business
at the same time, with
a sick wife in bed !

She wasn't sick.

She was drunk.

Don't you criticize your
mother at this table !

And not a one of you can
even come this close to her.

Oh, I thank god
she's not here...

To listen to what
you have to say.

Dad !

You can't just walk
away from me again.

I can, if you're
gonna attack her.

Why would I attack her ?

I lost her too.

She was my mother.

I'd find her out
here sometimes--

curled up on this bench,
sleeping it off.

I tried everything I could
to get her to stop,
but nothing worked.

I couldn't save her.

Finally all I could do was yell,
and it only made things worse--

for you and everybody.

I'm sorry.

With her gone I feel like
I've lost something in myself.

Me too.

Well, at least we have
one thing in common.

That, and-- and
your grandson.

You, Harry and the baby.

Whatever happens, catie,
we'll get through it.
