Thank you.

Amanda.

Sorry, I was in the middle of something. Oh, no.

How are you? I'm good. How are you doing?

It's great.

How long are you staying?

Just about a week or two.

Got a show in Berlin coming up, so.

No way. I am so proud of you. Thank you. That is amazing.

It's going to be a big one. Oh, wow.

So, how long has it been? Like three years? No, I went all over Europe. It

just hard to get back. Oh, my goodness. That must have been.

Amazing.

Freedom and adventure.

Wow.

How's things been here?

Your dad's going to be really happy to see you.

Sister? Oh, boy. That'll be good for her because she's got a lot of fear and

loathing that she needs to get relieved somehow.

Oh, no.

Tell me she's not as bad as I was.

Kind of worse.

Oh, man. Yeah, it's out of control.

Well, it's good to be back.

It's great to see you.

All right, I should go. I just wanted to come and say hi properly because I

didn't want to stop before, but I'm glad I did.

So glad you're here.

I'll see you in a little bit.

Hey, Amanda, hold on one second.

Oh, no, Ty, no, come on.

Why?

Why? Just, just come on. Okay.

All right. All right.

Damn, did Jilly just throw her dishes in the sink? She's such a slob.

Actually, I did that.

I'm so sorry. Do you want me to help you out with this? No, no, no, no. I got

it. Okay, okay.

I'm going to make some tea. You want some?

Yes, please.

Thank you.

So,

I've

been thinking a lot about life.

You know?

And I know I've apologized for it before.

I just wanted to let you know that I saw things even before my accident.

What things?

You did the best you could with the circumstances.

And it wasn't until I nearly died that I could stop being such a little angry

bitch.

You know, actually...

I feel kind of bad, too, about some of the choices I made.

Why?

I hooked up with your dad so soon after your mom died.

And I had my own shit I was dealing with, and you guys were all kind of

up. So we were just a bunch of damaged people trying to get a quick fix, you

know? I never thought it would fix anything.

No?

But... Dad needed someone.

Yeah, then.

Now?

Amanda, do you want me to talk to him?

I tried.

You've grown up really well, Tyler.

You too.

I guess it's clear, you know, Dad prefers them a little young.

Hmm.

Now, what about you?

No. No, I prefer my woman a little older.

Oh, okay.

Oh, my goodness.

Well, you certainly have gotten that charmer thing from your dad, haven't

Maybe. Yeah. A little. A little bit, yeah.

I need to go get some work done in the greenhouse, so could you just wait for

the water to boil?

Sure, I'll bring it out to you. Yeah?

Thanks. Very sweet.

I'll walk you over there, Amanda.

Okay.

And I brought you the tea.

Thank you. You okay?

Yeah, totally.

I just... Are you sure?

Yeah, it's probably allergies, you know. Look at all the plants.

It's been... Yeah.

Dad called. He said he might be staying late.

He might sleep in the city.

But we could order takeout at my treat.

Thanks. That would be really nice.

Is it hot in here?

Yeah, I really like it.

It's nice, but I mean... I know, I'm kind of crazy like that.

Yeah, you're overdressed probably.

Yeah.

Um,

is she home?

Yeah, she's up there. Yeah, go see what she wants and we'll, you know, whatever

she wants is good.

Okay, perfect.

Okay? Yeah, I'm going to talk to her and I'll call it in.

All right. Come on in after you're done. Yeah.

All right. Thanks, bye.

Who was that?

Oh, the delivery guy.

No, that guy.

Oh, that one over there?

Yeah.

I don't know.

Maybe he's one of those guys that goes around and makes offers on houses, real

estate developers, something like that.

Okay.

Right.

I'll be able to fit.

Headed up?

Yeah. You guys heading to bed soon?

Oh, well.

Okay. Well, okay.

Good night. Nice having you here.

Of course.

Night, Julie.

Yeah, night.

I got over it.

You can too.

She thinks she can be my mom.

That's so cliche.

Not only do I highly doubt she thinks that, why would she want to be?

I cannot believe you just said that. It's true.

You're such a nasty thing.

She seems kind of cool.

If I were her, I wouldn't be. Not with that attitude.

All right, how about you do me and I do me, okay?

I just think you can make life a little bit easier here, that's all.

Not my job.

Come in. It's unlocked.

Okay. Hey.

I just wanted to say goodnight.

You did downstairs.

Oh, I did.

Right.

Sorry, I would have opened the door, but there's lotion all over my hands. No

worries. I talked to her.

Hmm.

I'm sorry.

She's not going to understand until she goes to college.

Or wherever. Whatever she does.

Get perspective or something, I don't know.

Yeah, well, thanks for trying.

Is there something else?

I just want to take a couple photos.

Please, Tyler. I don't... I've got... My hair is a wreck. I don't have makeup

on. I mean... It's beautiful.

Natural. Just a couple.

Please. Okay. All right. What do you want me to do?

Just exactly what you were doing before.

My dad used to stay out late often.

You okay?

Uh, it is what it is, you know?

How long has it been going on?

Since you were in high school.

Is that why you don't wear the ring?

Yeah, well, he took his off years ago, and I was like, fuck it. Like, I'm

mine off too.

Difference doesn't make, you know?

You know, I think it's probably what made my mom sick.

Mentally.

Yeah, well, luckily, I'm a lot stronger than she was. Oh, I'm sorry. That really

is... No, it's okay. It's true.

She was really sensitive and let his bullshit get to her.

Now, it's probably lucky that you have your art.

Hmm. That's due you.

Yeah. I do have that.

You look really good, Tyler.

You too.

Thanks.

I should probably... Yeah, I gotta get to sleep. I'm so tired.

Oh, I'll see you tomorrow.

Good night.

Good night.

What? What you?

That doesn't make sense.

What were you doing in her room?

Just talking.

Right.

It's not your business.

I just want to know. What do you mean? Why?

I'm a curious girl.

Or a troublemaker.

I'm making no trouble.

Right.

Yeah, he needs to be more playful. Yeah, he needs to not be a grown man.

Do you like them?

Yeah, yeah.

When you take photos like this, do you get turned on?

Secret, huh?

I would love to take photos of you like that.

No, I'm just in here to collect laundry.

Oh, you don't have to do my laundry.

Oh, no, it's fine.

Totally fine.

We make you do it? No, no. We send it out.

No big deal. A guy's coming soon to get the... Oh, I'm actually... I'm going to

wear these. Oh, sorry. Okay.

Well, I'll let you get dressed.

Sure.

I'll be home tonight.

Probably don't know... a couple of days tomorrow, though.

It'll be good to see you.

I'll bring over a couple of bottles of wine.

Beautiful time.

I'll see you soon.

That's not fair.

You can't just show me that tongue and walk away.

Hey, Kurt.

Beautiful day.

Right? Look at this. I love springtime, but this.

This is the best. Look at that.

Incredible. Isn't that beautiful? I know.

You're very quiet.

So beautiful.

Oh, so peaceful.

Wow.

Dad called. He said he's coming tonight.

Oh, good. Well...

Probably because you're here.

He also said something about going on a trip for a couple days.

Sondra. You're kidding.

The paralegal? Mm -hmm.

How long has that been going on?

I have no idea. Probably a while.

But it's better that he does that because if he's here, he's just

drinking and trying to start fights and stuff like that. You guys are fighting?

We don't actually fight.

It's sort of worse because he's... Just gives me the silent treatment.

Why do you stay?

Jilly.

I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I don't think she would care.

God, that's so mean.

Somebody's got to parent her.

I just don't think that it's worth it, and I'm saying that as her brother.

No one really knows what goes on inside the mind of a teenage girl.

I don't want to know.

If I left, she'd probably burn the house down within a week.

Oh, okay. I agree with you there. Yeah.

She would burn the house down. Yeah.

Most certainly.

I'm handling her.

Hmm.

I think you're scared of her.

I am so not scared of her. You're scared of her.

Tyler, I was her.

What? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. And look, I mean, I...

Turn myself around. I turned out okay, right? You definitely turned out okay.

Oh, my God.

I can't believe you.

You're for real. You were trouble.

Yeah, yeah, definitely.

I'm not proud of it, but, you know, I worked on myself and turned myself

And I know how I did it, so I know what she needs.

What about you?

What?

What do you need?

It's irrelevant.

Do you get what you need?

What do you mean?

Tyler.

What?

I thought we might.

Really?

What the hell was that?

We were just enjoying the nice weather.

Took a nap.

Napping? Yeah.

I don't understand what the big deal is.

Joey.

Hey man, why can't she buy decent snacks?

She probably just doesn't want you eating junk food all day.

I don't have a weight problem.

It's not about weight. It's about eating healthy. She cares about you.

No she doesn't.

Alright listen, this whole attitude thing needs to stop.

I've only been here about a day, and what I'm seeing, I'm disgusted.

All right? You have more than half the kids your age.

All right? So this whole poor me, doomsday, the world is against me

that you got going on needs to stop. This world is electric, okay?

So just be halfway decent to be around.

Maybe I have issues.

All right, everyone has issues. Being a little punk -ass bitch is not going to

make people feel sorry for you.

She made you hate me, didn't she?

Well, you're actually fucked up, aren't you? Like...

For real. You need therapy.

All right, the only thing I need is to grow the fuck up and get the hell out of

this nut house.

Okay, that's the thing. Like, you've taken this narcissistic demonstration so

far. You've failed two years.

You're not going to be able to graduate being the punk that you are. How dare

you? All right, you left years ago, leaving me here alone.

All right, I'm stuck with a slut painter want -to -be -nothing bitch while

you're off having adventures, and you clearly don't like being here either,

considering how long it takes you to visit.

It's not my job.

What?

Take care of anyone?

No.

You certainly know how to take care of yourself, don't you?

That's what you're supposed to do, you little tramp. You grow up. You get out.

You don't just sit around and wallow in self -pity.

Little tramp?

Seriously?

All right.

I'll be scared since you're the one losing your fit, aren't you? All right,

me all the names you want. I do not care.

But mark my words, I'm going to get out of here.

And it's going to be glorious.

I'm going to be set for life.

What are you talking about?

I would just watch myself if I were you, dear brother.

Oh good, you found the snacks I got you.

Peace out bitch, I'll be in my room.

You okay?

Yeah.

Whatever, right?

Wanna go for a drive?

Yes, please.

I'll go get my jacket. All right, I'm going to get mine too. I put it in my

room. I'll meet you downstairs.

Okay.

I feel like this is going to be our spot.

You think?

Huh.

You don't agree?

Maybe.

So anyways, that's why I started the series.

And I wanted to come back to see you to see if I still felt it when we were near

each other.

Wow.

You know you can never tell anyone any of this, right?

Why?

I'm not ashamed about it. Are you?

It's not like we're related.

Because.

Because, I mean, we're not supposed to do that.

Who cares what we're supposed to do?

Come here. I want to show you something.

What? Come here. What?

What are we doing in the backseat?

You are

a regular comedian,

aren't you? Yeah, I get it from you.

Tyler. Yeah.

Good to see you, son. Fantastic.

Where were you guys?

Napping.

Amanda and I took a drive. We're just feeling a little toxic in here.

Oh, I never noticed that.

Beautiful wife, wearing a pretty dress.

How about a kiss?

You too.

Dad, how many days are you going to be away? Can I come?

Boring lawyer conference.

You'll hate it.

No, I would do anything to be out of here for a few days.

Plenty of new trips to come.

By the way, how's school?

Isn't this the year you're going to graduate?

Yeah, actually.

I think they want me gone just as much as I want to be gone, so... Good.

Whatever it takes, right?

Yeah. Okay, food's coming.

Excellent, thanks.

I'm going to go wash up.

Good idea.

You know what?

I've got a question for you.

Amanda, why is it that you never want to cook?

Simple.

I never know if you're going to come home or not. Julie hates my cooking, so

there's no real reason to cook.

That's fair enough.

So, why don't you try this delicious wine?

Would you?

Thank you.

What's this treatment burning about?

It's actually going to be an opening show, and it's going to be a study of

female body.

Fantastic.

Maybe I should help him judge that. What do you think?

How about a look?

Do you really want to see it? Absolutely.

Fantastic. I'll bring it right back. Good.

Glad you came home to visit your son.

I'm very proud of him. Why would no one want to see him?

He got here yesterday.

Why didn't you come and visit him then?

Do I really have to answer that?

I got caught up with work.

The commute.

So you were at Sandra's.

What are you talking about?

Lucas, I know.

Okay? It's obvious.

And we don't have to do this. We don't have to stay together, Lucas. We really

don't. Well, I do not divorce.

We do not divorce.

My people do not divorce.

So that's why you're wife, right?

What did you say?

Don't.

Why did you ever help me?

Because I thought you were hot.

Did you ever even care about me?

You know I needed you, darling.

Yeah, to raise your kids.

To raise my kids?

Tana was already grown up, and Jilly's a mess, and I give you credit for that.

That's not my fault.

It's not? No. She's actually really messed up, Lucas. I'm kind of scared.

Really? Yeah.

Well, who are you to judge her?

Don't you forget where you came from, okay?

Is everything okay?

Just catching up. Yeah, just catching up.

That one is big.

Wow.

These are beautiful.

This seems kind of like porn to me.

This is nothing like porn. This is art.

This is art.

Porn? What do you know about porn?

Nothing. Stop being rude. Sit down.

Sorry, Dad.

You know what? The food's going to be here soon.

You want to help set up the table?

Yeah. Good. I appreciate it.

I'm going to go help Amanda.

Thanks, Ty.

Beautiful work.

Thanks, Dad.

No, okay, so remember Kathy from biology, right?

The bitch who stole my homework.

So she's been gone for a few weeks, and it turns out she got pregnant, but it

wasn't her boyfriend. And so we think what happened is over spring break,

and Lucas hooked up, and we think they were, like, trying to film, like, a...

I don't like it like an adult film, you know?

Enough with the porn again. Enough with the porn. Stop, stop, stop, stop.

It's just maybe not hanging out. I don't want to hear anymore.

What are you, who are you hanging out with? I'm not hanging out with them,

that's the point. Good. They suck.

Can't you come up with a different story?

No, I... All right, stop it.

Amanda,

what's wrong? You haven't touched your food at all.

Oh, no, I'm not very hungry.

And I've had all these crazy ideas.

My imagination just got really, I don't know, got all these ideas for painting

now.

I'm going to clear my plate and start dishes. So, you know, whenever you guys

get done, just bring it in. I'll take care of it. Okay?

Okay. Thanks, Amanda.

Mm -hmm.

If your dad doesn't wake up before you go upstairs, could you put a throw

blanket on him? Yeah.

You can get a head up, too.

Okay. I'll get him a blanket in a minute.

Nice to meet you.

I'm good.

I don't care.

Why now?

You and me?

Because of all this woman.

Broke. Like even in high school?

Julie. What?

She just texted me.

What did she say?

Oh, she had a great evening.

And to enjoy the weekend.

Sweet.

Did you sleep well?

Yeah. Good. Yeah.

Like yeah?

What's up?

There you are.

Could you be a doll and get me a bagel with cream cheese and coffee, please?

You've got breakfast. I know, I know, but I'm craving that gooey, toasted

with everything that's gooey and yummy like you.

Okay, okay.

Where do you take the taller ones, one, two?

I'm sure you... Just poke it and take a look.

Huh? Okay.

You're a doll.

Come in.

Lucas wants me to go get bagels and coffee. Want some?

No. He wants you to come in the bed.

Where? Come on.

Stop it. You're crazy.

Maybe I am crazy.

Indeed.

I'll be back soon.

I'll be here.

Come back when he leaves, okay?

Mandy.

Oh, my gosh.

When did you get out?

Last week.

Oh, my goodness.

How are you?

I'm okay.

I'm okay, I am.

I wanted to visit.

No, it's a good thing you didn't.

He wouldn't let me.

I know.

So what are you doing now? Well, you know, I'm just trying to get back in the

swing of things here, you know? Yeah.

I'm, uh...

Looking for work?

Is that you in front of the house the other night?

I thought so, and I really wanted to invite you in, but, you know. How are

going to explain that?

Yeah, right?

And I was kind of scared.

You know, sometimes I forget about all the crap we went through, and certain

things will come up, and it brings everything back.

It's okay. You don't have to explain anything to me.

Thanks. So where are you staying?

Well, there's a house for guys like me.

It's in your neighborhood, actually.

Really? Yeah.

You know, the rich, self -hating white folk trying to help out the ex -cons,

know.

We haven't lost your sense of humor.

No, no, no. I lost a lot.

But I didn't lose that.

Yeah.

miscarried at four months.

It was awful, Jeff.

I was really devastated, messed me up bad.

I mean, I'd lost you, and then that happened, and I

ended up taking a bunch of pills.

Oh, Jesus, Mandy.

I ended up in the facility, and the woman that... was sharing the room with

was Lucas's wife.

What? Yeah.

That's how we got Lucas.

But the crazy thing is, like, she actually finished herself off in the

facility. I mean, you know how hard it is to do that? Do you know how hard it

to actually do that in a place like that?

I actually do. Yeah.

She just did not want to go on.

The lawyer Lucas.

Who helped everything get sorted out. Well, he's good to you at least.

He was at first.

And then... I guess I kind of realized, ultimately,

why his wife had done what she did.

It was her only way out.

Maybe... Maybe we can...

Jess.

I'm a really different person now.

And so much has happened since I last saw you. I'm... I'm sorry.

Yeah. No, no. That's okay.

Yeah.

Sure.

Besides, you probably like him younger anyway now, right?

What do you mean?

Well, I see things.

What things?

Come on, sweetheart.

You can't fool the old jazz man. You know that, right?

Are you threatening me?

No, I don't threaten, love.

But I just want you to know that I'm watching.

I should probably get back. I know the coffee is getting cold. The bagel, you

know, Lucas is waiting.

You're telling me to get out now? I just, you know, the bagel is going to

cold and the coffee.

I'll figure out.

to appreciate this.

Mm -hmm.

What's going on out there?

Oh, I, uh, I thought I saw someone, but I was wrong.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. Oh,

this is good.

Oh, did you hear your friend?

Yeah. He got released.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Oh.

What are you doing?

No, no.

I was just told by the prison.

Well, good, right?

It made me think.

You could have been in a woman's jail all these years.

Right?

If we didn't work it out the way we did.

Yeah.

How does it feel to be a free woman all these years, Ben?

I don't understand what you mean. Well, relax. I'm just kidding with you.

No.

Freedom and imprisonment aren't so easily defined with this thing.

Good morning, all.

You look fresh. You look well.

Best sleep I've had in a while.

I might have to stay here and bag Berlin if I can get that kind of sleep every

night. How about you, Amanda?

Did you sleep good?

I'm going to go try to get some work done.

Good luck with that.

I'll call you in the dark, okay?

Have fun, okay?

Mm -hmm. Very kind of you.

You have fun with the kids. Make sure they don't misbehave.

Oh, you know I'll take good care of your kids always.

Right? Yeah. Hey, why don't you come out to the greenhouse, okay? I want to show

you something.

Sure. Safe travels.

Thank you. Yeah.

Have you noticed something different about her?

No. Oh.

Seems the same as always to me.

You know, there's always been a little extra flavor there.

Really?

I mean, maybe you're just consensus.

Maybe you're right.

And, uh, have fun doing whatever it is you're doing this weekend.

I will. You as well.

I'll be here.

Doing what you'll be doing, right?

Making art.

You know, just making art.

Oh, and, uh, taking care of your wife.

And your daughter?

Mighty kind of.

Some secrets are good too.

Very... Very good.

I just don't understand why you would accuse us of something like that. It's

just super rude and inconsiderate.

I'm just saying, you guys seem close.

Yeah, she's really cool. We have in -depth conversations. I mean, you can

us whenever you want.

You know?

What's up?

Your shirt's inside out.

So there. That's all the evidence I need.

That doesn't prove anything.

Yeah, I'm sure Dad would love to hear what you two have been up to. I just

you, you do not have proof.

Alright, the fact that you're suggesting I need proof rather than outright

denying it is the proof, dumbass.

You're busted, Amanda.

What? Jilly seems to think that we... Yeah, I know you've been hooking up.

So gross.

Why would you say something like that?

Ah, see?

Another one. Another what?

You don't deny it. You're just asking for proof.

What are you trying to do?

I'm calling you out on your shit.

I didn't do anything. All right, don't deny it now, okay? Just stop.

I think you need to... I cannot wait to tell Dad.

I think you seriously need to take a fucking breath.

You need to know what the fuck to do.

That was disgusting.

Shh. What's next? We need to do something. If she...

We're headed to the store. You want anything?

Please. If the car ends up smelling like sex, I'm never getting in it again. Why

are you so horrible?

I'm not horrible, Tyler. I'm on it.

Clearly something neither of you are.

What are you doing?

Homework. Graduating is my only ticket out of this shitstorm.

Okay.

Cool.

I don't know what she's gonna do.

You need to tell me what you're so afraid of.

What does my dad have on you?

Remember that guy you saw the other day outside?

The guy you said you didn't know?

Yeah.

Um, we were together years ago.

And I was like Jilly back then, but way worse. We were both on drugs.

Fuck.

I was pregnant, and we needed money.

There was this liquor store.

He had a gun. I swear, I didn't know he had a gun. He shot a guy, and up until

just a couple days ago, he was in jail.

He was the lawyer, but not at first.

Later on... Were you actually part of the robbery?

I drove.

The guy, Jazz, that's his name.

He had this really...

horrible public defender and all he wanted to do was protect me and the baby

then when he was awaiting trial i had a miscarriage and i was so destroyed over

it i tried to commit suicide oh my god and that's how i ended up in the

and your mom was actually in the same room as me and that's how i met your dad

and i told him the whole story your dad um

decided to take over the case, and him and Jazz worked it out so that I'd be

okay.

I hadn't seen Jazz again up until just a couple days ago, and I was just

trying to survive, you know?

I would have never made it.

Okay, stop.

Just stop.

Is there anything else?

What the fuck? I'm so sorry, but...

I'm a different person. Look at me. I changed. I'm not that same person.

Lo, all of it.

Why didn't you ever tell me?

He wouldn't let me. I wasn't allowed to tell him. He didn't want you or your

sister to know any of this.

Did you ever love him?

He saved my life.

Is that why you stayed?

I stayed for so many reasons.

But there was one thing that he said to me and it... Scared the crap out of me.

He told me that if I ever tried to leave, he would turn me in as an

to Jack.

I don't know you.

Do I?

So sorry.

So if you could have left, would you have?

No, I... I would have never abandoned Joey.

And me?

I never intended for any of this stuff between us to happen.

But I cared about you from the moment I saw you.

I've always cared about you.

You, Amanda, need to get away to find me.

I've calculated at least $500 ,000 so I can start my new life out of this mess,

and you can have me never read a word of it to Lucas.

Did you hear me?

I don't have access to that kind of money.

Bullshit. My dad makes a ton, and you are his wife.

Yeah, and he never gave me access to any of it.

Is she for fucking real?

How? Why?

It doesn't matter how or why.

Okay. Well, money is my ticket out of here to freedom, and yours too, so... I

cannot give you what I don't have.

Well, then it looks like Dad might be hearing a little family secret.

Really? Stop.

You fucking stop.

You don't know what you're talking about.

I don't care.

You should. Well, I don't. You have no idea how money works.

Tyler, it's okay. It's all right. You know, I get it.

Really? Yeah.

And...

I'll do my best.

All right.

So how is this going to happen?

I have no idea.

Figure it out.

Okay.

I'll be upstairs.

There's no way that she's overreacting. We don't need to pay her that much.

There's no way to get that money. That's unreasonable.

Oh, yes.

Can we talk?

Here it comes.

I'm being serious.

I have a question.

Well, depending on what the question is, I may have an answer and I may not.

Okay.

I will present the case.

Here we are.

Yes. And you have a wife.

Of sorts.

And you are here with me.

And? And... Do you know where I'm going with this?

Yep.

Anyway, one kid, done, grown, successful.

The other one's almost out the door.

I'm following.

I prefer the city over the suburbs of New Jersey.

True.

Why don't you exit the marriage and be with me?

She needs me.

Seriously?

Oh, you said you never have sex anymore.

Yeah, it's complicated.

To you it's complicated.

To me it's pretty clear.

I've been a terrible husband.

Are you planning on being a good husband to her in the future?

I didn't say that. What are you saying?

What I'm saying is, if I was to end it with Amanda, I would need

time to fix myself.

I thought...

We were fixing you.

Well, that's horrible.

I don't know what to say.

Is there anything left?

Sweetheart, if there was anything left, I would have given it to you the other

day.

And with all those jobs we pulled?

I tried to set you up the best I could.

You had a house, you had money, freedom, a family.

Jess, I don't know what I'm going to do.

Did you show her this?

It won't do any good. She hates me. And she hates me even more now.

Yeah. Well, I don't blame you for what you did with photographer guy there,

especially after the lawyer asshole.

I should have resisted. I mean, I'm old enough to know better, you know.

Well, the flesh wants what it wants, right?

Yeah.

Was it good at least?

Yeah. Well, see, there you go.

Anything that feels good is going to cost you something. You know that.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

You just relax, sweetheart.

I'm going to think of something.

Something?

Yeah.

You've got to start learning to trust me.

Would I ever hurt you?

It's all Zen, baby. It's all Zen.

Oh, Jazz.

I missed you so much.

I missed you, too.

You

know,

Mandy, I lost a lot.

And I know I'm not gonna get it all back, but... If I could just get one

day.

What?

I made you a cup of coffee.

Oh.

I just want to... Hold on.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

For?

I couldn't sleep last night. I was just thinking about everything.

Yeah, I know.

I'm sorry.

But I couldn't tell you. I mean, I really couldn't, you know?

Listen, it's...

I just, I know my dad is, you know, he's a great guy, but he could also be a

fucking dick.

Yeah.

Yeah. And I just can't imagine what it would have been like to feel

imprisoned in this house, especially after everything that you went through.

It wasn't prison ever, really.

I loved your dad.

I loved your crazy psycho sister.

I love you.

He always loves you.

So? Oh, look.

We really don't need to talk about anything.

Stupid shit we did.

We just stop now. We let it go. Don't think about it anymore.

And it didn't happen, really. Fine.

Totally fine, okay?

Excuse me.

Excuse me, you're Jilly?

Yeah. I'm a friend of Amanda's.

She has friends?

Yeah. A long time ago.

Anyway, she told me you have a little problem that he's fixing. I think I

be able to help you with it.

Yeah, in your white van with some candy and puppies.

Right out here, Neil.

You just walk and talk.

A couple minutes.

All right.

You want this way?

Fine.

Amanda, wait.

Listen, it was shocking.

All of it. But it doesn't matter.

It's not okay what you went through.

And you just need to know that it doesn't change anything.

Thanks.

Please.

You have to understand, it doesn't change a thing.

In fact, it's like the opposite. It's almost like I know you better.

Really? Yeah.

a long time. She's very different now.

All right, but so what? I really don't care.

All right, then I dare you.

You dare me? Yeah, I dare you.

You're a tough guy, right?

Go take a look at her art.

I mean, she showed me the pics on the phone, but you gotta see for yourself.

All right, what could be in that dingy -ass sketchbook that's worth more than

$500 ,000?

You know, kid, the world's gonna look a lot different when you open your eyes.

Why don't you take a look?

Ditch school, right? That's what they expect from you anyway.

You really need to do yourself a favor here.

Fine.

Whatever.

Nice chat with you.

Show me.

What show me no You

did

all these Why

Because because why no

Tell me.

Because I love you so much.

And all I ever wanted to do was say that you would love me too.

I always thought you were the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen.

And I wanted to be your mom.

But I know you hate me.

And the only way that I could get close to you was to recreate you for myself.

When I was your age, I felt the way that you do, and it's such a horrible

feeling, and I wanted to save you from that, but I know you hate me.

I don't. What?

Amanda, I don't hate you.

Then why?

I thought you hated me.

God, you're so beautiful, Angel. I could never hate you. But I'm awful. No, no.

You're hurt. I understand. I really do. Like, I know more than you could

possibly realize.

I met Jazz.

Oh, God. Jazz told me everything, and I can do better. Okay? I swear. No, no. I

don't need you to do better.

I want you to be you.

You don't hate who I am? No, I could never hate you. You're just doing the

you can, honey.

How can you be so nice to me after all the shit that I've been pulling? Julie,

you're the only child I've ever had.

You really feel that way?

Julie, I will do everything I can to help you.

I love you.

I hate you, baby.

All I ever wanted was to be allowed to love you.

All good?

Yeah, my son is leaving for Berlin today.

I'm going to have to see him off properly.

I thought we were going to spend a few days together.

Look,

my son's an adult, but he's still my kid. I thought he was staying longer.

I'm not going to miss the opportunity to see him off properly.

Excited for your trip?

I suppose.

I think the show's going to be a little bit of a letdown compared to all the

drama and excitement that we've had.

Still, it'll be a nice vacation, you know?

It'll be

wonderful.

What?

I think you should... I should what?

Come with me.

What?

Come with me.

You want me to?

I can't.

Jilly will be just fine.

Think about it.

Want to go check on her?

Dude, there you go again. You said buddy music. You know, you definitely said

buddy music. If you were not in trouble, I mean, we could totally make it that

it's okay for you to, like, leave for a week.

You could. You've missed more than that. I don't mind that idea.

I know, right?

They might not even notice that she's gone.

Are you kidding?

I had like a mental break or something.

Oh.

Yeah, we could make up shit.

We could totally do that.

Everybody's cheery and calm.

Enough to melt a grown man's heart.

Okay.

You don't get a kiss, but you want to ride to the airport?

I'll take a ride.

What time?

11 p .m. Done. All right.

Cheeky monkeys.

Sweet.

Little

sister.

Good.

I'll try. I'll see you in another three years.

Please consider my offer.

Mm -hmm.

I'm sorry.

For before.

It's understandable.

You need to stop being so understanding.

It's a process.

You'll get it one day. It works.

I'm gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you, too.

So much.

Um...

What the fuck did I just see?

You kissed her on the mouth?

You don't.

So someone has to.

Oh, thank you so much for coming.

Oh, we're so happy to be here.

I'm excited to spend some time with my granddaughter.

Oh, Chili.

Chili, my parents are here.

Hi.

Here she comes.

Oh.

Hi. Hi,

darling. Oh, my darling. So great to see you. You look lovely.

You look gorgeous.

I'm only going to be gone for about a week.

Probably. I don't know. Maybe more. Where are you going in Europe?

Germany. Germany?

Yeah. She's leading me here by myself.

No, you're with them?

We're going to have a good time.

Don't worry.

I've got to get out of here. Yeah, I hope you guys get set up in Europe. All

right. Have a great time, you guys. We're going to have a little breakfast.
