Oh, they are in here. I am
telling you, they are in here.

Oh, I'm going out of my mind.
They are in here.

Honey, relax. They are in there.

Okay. Okay.

I moved out of the dorm.

And I know they were
up on 12th Street,

because Gary
threw spaghetti on them.

And then Linda... she didn't
want them on Rittenhouse, so...

What is that?

No. Give me that.
You cannot read that.

The Girl With the Kool-Aid Soul,

a Novel in Verse
by Michael J. Steadman.

Give me that.
That should be burned.

Oh, I need these posters.

You didn't want them
on 21st Street.

So I remember packing them
with the extra copies

of "The People's Flame."

I'm so glad we kept the extra
copies of "The People's Flame."

When was the last time
you considered the need

for artistic expression
by the downtrodden workers?

I was discussing that yesterday with
Janey, right after Mister Rogers.

See, you have no recollection
of these posters,

and you have
no sense of history.

You're just a running-dog lackey
of the imperialist warmongers.

Ha. Here they are.

Look at this.

Wait a second. Wait a second.
Where are the others?

I had a whole set.
What did you do with the others?

Look, all I have is
a Jefferson Airplane?

No. I had Hendrix.
I had two Hendrixes.

I had Joplin. I had Moby Grape.
Now where are they?

I didn't do anything with them.

Oh, it is this house.
It eats things.

We moved into this house
in November.

We are still in boxes.

So let's unpack.

We can't unpack them
until we finish this wall.

- So finish the wall.
- We can't finish the wall

until we figure out what we're
gonna do with the room.

So figure out what you're
gonna do with the room.

Okay. You know
what we're gonna have to do,

because let's face it,

we're never gonna do it
until something forces us to.

I don't think
I want to hear this.

What we need is something that
makes us so humiliated and ashamed

that it forces us
to get it in shape.

I am not hearing this.

It doesn't have to be big.
I swear to you.

You want to have the "H" word?

Just an informal gathering
of our 600 closest friends.

Okay, I can do this.

I mean, people expect that
when you move into a house,

you're gonna have
a housewarming party.

Honey, it's just that
I thought that we could wait

until Janey was old enough to...

Pay for it?

Murray Froehlich?

Definitely. He's five minutes
from becoming a V.P. over there.

Plus his wife is cute.

- Uh, Mark Rossner.
- I don't like him.

- You like him?
- No, but we gotta invite him.

Everybody says he's the next us
three years from now.

That's true.
I don't like us, either.

Steve Ma... Man... Marn... What?

- Mark... Mark... Markowitz.
- Markowitz.

You do it.

I'm not doing it. You do it.

- You hired her.
- That's 'cause you thought she was cute.

She's hopeless.

Only about spelling
and typing and phone numbers.

Chad Kaufman.

- Pass.
- Pass.

- Katie Broyalls.
- Katie Broyalls.

Katie Broyalls, Katie Broyalls.

You know she won that big design
award, whatever they call it?

I gave her her first job.
She won't even return my calls.

Wait a minute. She goes
out with that monster guy.

Wynan Scott. What's his name...
Jerry Stahl.

What about Jerry Stahl?

Jerry Stahl.
Mr. Big Deal Genius.

Did the disappearing whale
commercial?

You know him?

I don't know him.
Everybody knows him.

He's Jerry Stahl.

So if he goes out with her,
does that mean he's coming?

Unless he's washing his hair
that night.

You know this guy.

Uh, the guys about the, uh,

- what do you call it?
- What?

They're here.

They guys about the... you know.

The... the whosey-what.
The back stage.

The sound stage. Oh.

Thank you, Janine. Why don't you
tell him we'll be right there?

Say good night, Janine.

I'm not renting a sound stage.

Wonderful. That's great.

We'll bring the film crew in here.
You and I can move in the bathroom.

We can literally watch our lives
go down the toilet.

Yeah, it's an archway.

The question is,
can it not be an archway?

It can probably not be anything
you want it to be,

- assuming, uh...
- Assuming?

Well, assuming we can keep the
second floor up on the second floor.

- Huh.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hi, there.

What's your name?

Say, "I'm Janey."

So is it terrible?

No. Nah.

It's quite a house.

He says it's in worse shape
than we thought it was.

I didn't think
that was possible.

Here you go, sweetie.

I always thought, you know,

'cause I used to
do stuff like this,

not professionally or anything,

but, well, I used to build beds
for people in college,

and I always thought
I could do this.

'Cause we really love it here,

and I think it has
a lot of potential, you know.

And if I weren't too involved
with my work, and...

You think it has a lot of potential,
or are we totally stupid?

No, no. It's a very cool house.

I mean, I'd have
bought it myself,

if I had the money
to put into it.

Okay, so let's see what we got.

You wanna... you wanna
lose all this stuff,

and you wanna replace it

with some elegant
wall-covering-like paneling,

but not like a lawyer's office,

because that would be
too stuffy.

And you want
built-in shelves over here,

and you want to make
this archway dead.

Hmm.

Now do you think maybe

we should, uh, put a built-in
thing over here, too?

You know, like,
maybe for the TV?

What's wrong with the TV
on the counter?

I don't know. It's not very,
uh...

Not very...

Elegant?

I don't know. I think if you put
built-in shelves over there, too,

you start not having enough
room here in the middle,

especially if you ever
want to put a table here.

But we probably wouldn't
want to put a table there.

You eat breakfast
in the kitchen?

Yeah.

Fine. So put built-in shelves
over there, too.

- It'll look great.
- Yeah?

- Yeah.
- Okay. Hey, do an estimate for either way.

- I can do that.
- Okay. Good.

This is gonna be great.

Oh, you know, I always imagined
a room like this.

You know, the sun streaming in,

and the paneled walls.

Oh, this is gonna be great.

$5,346 for a breakfast room?

Is this guy out of his mind?

Sell the baby.

We've waited this long.
We can wait $5,000 longer.

Mikey's moping.

I'm not moping. I'm sulking.

Oh, honey. Mmm.

I know. You want everything
to be really nice and beautiful

for the housewarming, so that
all your business friends,

who you don't really like,
will be really impressed.

Exactly.

Can't we find
a simpler solution?

You know, more like
an intermediate idea?

- A compromise approach.
- Cheaper.

No, no, it's okay. It's okay.

All the people come, and they'll
rip their clothes on the nails,

and they'll say
"What's that mildew smell?"

They'll lose all respect for me,
and I'll go bankrupt.

I can handle that.

Well, maybe you could think of it
as this really big opportunity.

Like, you could paint the walls
with these huge, puffy clouds,

And you could hang this really huge
parachute down from the ceiling.

Mikey, why are you
getting so worried?

Think about Grandpa Morrie.
He never worried.

He lived his life. He didn't
take any crap from anybody.

Right. He was full of wisdom,

which was very useful for people
living in Kiev in 1912.

Who's coming
to this extravaganza, anyway?

You know who's gonna be there.
Acquaintances.

All the people you say you're gonna
get together with and never do.

All the people that had you
to some horrible dinner,

and now you owe them, but you
don't want to see them alone.

All the people
that are cooler than you,

and you wish they would be your
friend, so you invite them over,

and hope that they'll
invite you back. Acquaintances.

Name names.

Tony Valani, Ray Godshaw,

Jerry Stahl, Marcy Madelman,
Linda Louwe.

I don't even know these people,
and they're boring.

So don't come.
Save me $6 in hors d'oeuvres.

We used to do this.

I know. All the time.

Mmm. We should still do it
all the time.

Mmm.

I'm ready.

Oh, we'll probably do it again.

All the time, I mean.

I think we will.

Well, that's really neat.

I mean, I think you're okay.

I don't mind you too much.

I could stick around here
for a while.

You think I'm okay?

Yeah, I think you're, like,
really an okay person

with very limited bad qualities.

Thank you.

Which makes it
hard to understand

how you could have ever
gone out with Jerry Stahl.

I didn't go out
with Jerry Stahl.

I had a stupid,
self-destructive,

extended physical encounter
with Jerry Stahl.

It was eight years ago.
I didn't even know you then.

You wouldn't have had
a self-destructive,

extended physical encounter
with me.

Why would I want to?

You're the most wonderful person
I've ever met.

You are sweet and good and true.

And I love you.

Sweet?

I'm going to sleep now,
completely satisfied.

Good night.

Sweet?

Good morning, good morning,

the little birds say.

Hi. Is she all right?

Yeah. She's just teething.

Okay.

What we're saying is we cover
this disgusting wall stuff

with cheap new wallboard,

throw some paint on it.
I'm not upset.

- You're not?
- No, I'm depressed.

- About wallboard?
- No, I'm upset about wallboard.

I'm depressed
about the impossibility

of ever having anything
in your life

exactly the way
it's supposed to be.

But Janey's the way
she's supposed to be, huh?

Aren't you? Yeah.

What's that, Boo-Boo? What?
Tell me, tell me, tell me.

Are you gonna do
that incredibly cute thing?

Michael, look at this. She
started this yesterday. Look.

No, you're not gonna show him?

Come on.

- Honey.
- Hmm?

This is a great house.
We're gonna be very happy here.

All of us.

Anyway, I like the arch.
It's an honest arch.

Arches are very important
in history, Janey.

They were invented
by the Romans.

Oh, we hate the Romans,
don't we, Janey?

They persecuted
Daddy's ancestors.

Oh, yeah, don't cry
about those Romans.

Oh. But that's okay, Janey.

That's okay, because Mommy's
ancestors came down from the North,

and we pillaged
those nasty Romans.

I knew there was a reason
why I loved your mommy.

Bye, sweetie.
I hope you feel better.

Bye.

- Have a fun day.
- Thank you.

Hey, Hope, I found that thing.

That, uh, that melon baller.

Hope? You home?

We're in hiding.

- The forces of darkness have descended and are...
- What?

We're under attack.
Michael finally decided

to do something
about the breakfast room.

Oh, yeah? Let me see.

Hi.

Hi.

- Don't sit there. All that dust.
- Oh.

Fine dust everywhere.
In the cupboards,

in my daughter's hair,
in our food.

Dust everywhere.

Looks like fun.

Oh, yeah? Well, go ahead.

Take a few licks.

- Get your aggressions out.
- Oh, no, thanks.

I need more than that
to get my aggressions out.

I got just the thing for you.

Great.

We're out of here.

Oh. Bye.

Bye.

I'm staying here today.
You can go to work.

- What?
- He's so cute.

- What?
- He's so...

Cute! He is.

Didn't you notice?

I'm having trouble seeing
through the dust.

You didn't notice? I can't
believe you didn't notice.

Wait. Watch her.

I just need, um...

um, a whisk.

What's that?

It's a whisk. He is cute.

I can't believe I didn't notice.

Isn't he?
So what do we do about it?

What do you mean, we, paleface?

If you want to do something about it, you
go in there and do something about it.

What do I do? Go in there
and start talking about tools?

Equipment?

You're not even gonna go in there and talk.
You're such a coward.

Tell me one time at Beach Haven
you ever went up to a lifeguard.

I'm still working on it.

Oh, what's the use?
We'd go out for two weeks.

He'd have these great, strong arms.
We'd get all sweaty.

Then he'd get intimidated because
I make more money than he does.

I don't know. You should see
what he charges.

Hello! Hello! Hello!

You sure this is big enough?

I see rice paddies. I see
helicopters in the distance.

I see Meryl Streep
as the simple peasant girl.

"You American, soldier?"

"You buy my baskets?"

Elliot.

Elliot, you could shoot
Lawrence of Arabia in here.

We're doing a local TV spot
for an onion dicer.

It slices. It dices.

Mike, we're in
the commercial biz.

Now we got clients to impress.

Okay, okay. It is impressive.

Jerry Stahl
would be impressed by this.

What's Jerry Stahl
have to do with this?

Nothing. I'm just saying
he'd be impressed by this.

You know, he's supposed
to be so brilliant.

Nah, he'd work with George Lucas

and design some special
laser technology

and win about a hundred Clios.

You know, I'm a little sick
of hearing about Jerry Stahl.

- What's so whopping great about Jerry Stahl?
- You brought it up.

Uh, it's 3:00.

And?

The Kramer brothers are here.

Back at the office, waiting.

We have a 3:00 appointment
with the Kramer brothers?

Since when?

Since Monday. I told you.

Janine.

I didn't tell you.

Janine.

Well, I meant to tell you.
Doesn't that count?

Well, it's still okay.
We're just down the block.

You're still not late
or anything.

Thank you.

Why don't you go back
and tell the Kramer brothers

that we will be right there?

- "I forgot."
- Blunt instrument.

You know, you should have gotten
rid of her like I told you.

Jerry Stahl would have
got rid of her.

It's come to this?

It's only a little chart.

How many variables are there
in this particular chart?

Do you really want to know, or
are you just making fun of me?

Both.

Okay.

We've got money coming in.
That's green.

And we have household expenses.
Monthly, that's blue.

Weekly, that's purple.

Additional money for the breakfast
room, that's red. Ha ha.

Insurance, mortgage,
government extortion,

charitable guilt, auto usury,

general upkeep on our house.
Ha ha.

Travel, ha. Leisure, ha ha.

And a new car,
which I don't need,

and I can't justify spending
any money on. Ha ha ha ha.

You seem a little tense, honey.

Try and get some sleep.

Lower. Lower.

Lock it off.

So, Mike, after we shoot
this commercial,

we can really expand.
I mean, think about it.

Roll camera. Speed. Action.

♪

Psst.

Hey, Mike, Mike.

If I can't have the revolution,

might as well
have a great breakfast room.

Uh, did I mention to you

that you were supposed to hand in
that proposal by 3:00 this morning?

Hope?

What is it, darling?

Jerry.

You paid how much for this dump?

Is he in the closet?

No, that's the monkey!

Can you say monkey?

Of course not.

Even though Mommy vowed
she'd never push you...

All right. I admit it.
I can't help it.

She's totally brilliant.

Can she get a job?

Does she cater?

What good are you?

Where'd you get the shirt?

Bought it.

When? You never
tell me anything anymore.

I bought it last week
when the collar wore through

on my 15-year-old
Brooks Brothers button down.

You actually went out
into the real world

and bought something
for yourself?

Well, what was it like?

Shut up. You don't like it?

No, no, I like it. I just
have to get used to it.

It's, um, not your...

you.

I'm hip, babe. I'm happening.

Glad to see
it's coming along so well.

You don't like it now 'cause
it's not what you wanted.

But once it's done,
you're gonna love it.

I suppose.

Here you go, Janey.
Make your daddy feel better.

- Come here, sweetie.
- Yeah.

- I'm sorry.
- Oh, it's okay.

Everybody in this family is allowed
to go crazy once every three days,

as long as someone else
isn't crazy concurrently.

Yeah.

I mean, how could anybody
ever go crazy

after they've looked
in this perfect face?

Yeah. Oh, you don't
give a damn about money

and wallboard or anything

except sleeping and playing
and Mommy's breasts.

If your daddy were smart, he
would adopt the same attitude.

Aah.

Let's give Mommy a kiss, huh?

Mwah.

Well, what do you think?

I think, uh, you should go long.

Catches him in the end zone.

Throws a perfect pass...
Oh, yes!

That's it. We're taking it.

I haven't made a catch
like that in 12 years.

We cannot afford the stage.

We cannot not afford the stage.

What are you... what do I do?

You have no basis on which
to judge, so you decide.

I think you should
get out of this business.

You're selling things
to people who don't need them,

can't afford them, and are too stupid
to realize they shouldn't want them.

Exactly. Should we rent
the stage to do it in?

You know, you are a jerk,
Shepherd.

25% of the work we do
happens to be pro bono

for all kinds
of nonprofit organizations,

and good causes
and other non-toxic things.

We really only do it so people
see our work and like it

and hire us to do real work,

which is sell things to people
who don't need them.

Okay.

Go away and let me
figure this out.

Mike, what's
the bottom line here?

The business goes under,
and we lose our houses.

Which, in my case, is no big
deal, since I hate my house,

and in your case, serves you right for
getting a nice house to begin with.

You really want us
to leave you here?

I gotta think about it.

All right.

Hey, if you need the stage,
take the stage, Mike.

It's only business. You never used
to worry about business. Remember?

No possessions, no encumbrances.

Thanks for your help, Gare.

Hey, I have a right
to viciously attack your values.

That's what friends are for.

Mike, think fast.

Dave. Dave! Dave!

Hi. Could you do something
a little less, um...

incredibly loud
for the next little while?

Finally get her down?

It had to happen some year.

Why don't you take your break while
I have my 20th cup of coffee?

Excuse me.

Oh. Sorry.

Excuse me.

Sorry again.

What are you doing?

What? This doesn't go like this?

No.

Now here's something
you'll really like.

Fan mail from some flounder?

Not that lesson. This lesson.

Oh, no, wait. Here, here.

Okay.

Mr. Wizard. Help me, Mr. Wizard.

Drizzle, drazzle,
drazzle, drome.

Time for this one to come home.

I've got it, I've got it.

Me see over
the mountaintop, Bob.

Princess Summerfall
Winterspring.

Oh, come on. Clarabell.
Buffalo Bob.

Howdy Doody?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Howdy Doody.

Yeah, wow. That was
really in the '50s.

Right.

Wow. You're old.

Thanks for noticing, Dave.

You're not too old.

You're kind of
just the right amount.

Bye.

No!

Ideological corruption.

Decadent materialism.

I ask you,
members of the council,

what are we to think

of this profit-mongering capitalist

who goes to greater
and greater lengths

of deceiving the people

in his insatiable quest
for corporate hegemony,

blindly aping
the the current fashions

of the decadent ruling class?

It's him! It's him!

He's the one
who thought about firing me.

He's heartless, cruel.

Please, please.

I object.

This man is merely a dupe

of the Imperialist Yuppie elite.

I mean, he didn't intend
to buy such a big house.

No. He had a momentary lapse
of ideological judgment.

The house doesn't work.
It's a wreck.

And he admits his crime

of using consumerist propaganda

to sell hundreds
of useless objects

to unsuspecting members
of the downtrodden proletariat.

Wait a second. You were there.
You helped start the company.

I wanted to be a writer.

I didn't want
to go into advertising.

I just couldn't make a living.
Do you understand?

Which brings us
to his worst transgression...

His avaricious rush
into the trappings

and complacent, monogamous,
bourgeois family life,

his spineless toadying

in the inquisitive wake
of his new masters,

and a complete betrayal
of his earlier beliefs.

You Yuppie!

No.

I am not a Yuppie.

Yuppies only want new cars
and CDs and futures.

Well, I want those things, too,

but I can't afford them.
Doesn't that count?

Excuse me, excuse me.

Madame Chairperson,
do we have a verdict?

Guilty. Guilty. Guilty.

Guilty.

Guilty. Guilty. Guilty.

Guilty...

He's not here?

He's not home yet.

Not Michael, fool. The guy.
The cute one.

You left work early?

You raced over here
to see this guy?

I didn't race over. I obeyed
all posted speed limits.

- You are still in high school.
- Who isn't?

Just wanted to get another look,
that's all.

You wouldn't understand.

Good. He's not here.
I can take these off.

They're killing me.
So how's he doing anyway?

It's really a mess in there.

Maybe the guy's
a total incompetent.

No, Dave's okay. I don't think
he's incompetent.

Excuse me. Dave?

Yeah, Dave. That's his name.

What else have we managed
to discover about Dave?

Ellyn, we hired him.
Of course I know his name.

What's that look?

Nothing.

You are terrible. You are a bad,
disgusting person.

- What happened?
- Nothing happened.

Oh, God. I love this.
When was it, today?

- Nothing happened.
- Who started it?

He started it,
but it was nothing.

How did he start?
I bet he's really funny, right?

I don't believe that we are
having this conversation.

You're ridiculous.

Yes.

So what? Where were you?
You have to tell me everything.

Was he all sweaty?

I don't believe you.
Why do I even talk to you?

It was in the kitchen.
Nothing happened.

We just talked.

God. It never changes.

I knew I should have made
my move the other day.

- Guys always hit on you.
- What are you talking about?

Oh, get outta here.
So, like, did he...

How did he... Come on.
What did he say?

Would you stop this, please?
Janey, don't listen to this.

- How did he broach the subject?
- He didn't do anything.

I didn't do anything.
Nothing has happened.

Nothing is going to happen.
Nothing will ever happen.

We just flirted a little.

You flirted? You did?
Oh, good for you.

- At least you did something.
- Stop it.

No. You're too damn perfect
for your own good.

You're allowed
to have a little fun.

Cooped up here all the time.

So what do you think
will happen?

Why does anything
have to happen?

- I don't know.
- You're supposed to tell me it's nothing.

And that I shouldn't
think about it.

It's nothing, and you
shouldn't think about it.

Ah, Hope.

I don't know what to tell you.

This conversation
never took place.

All documents related to this
conversation are to be shredded.

We must protect the present
administration at all costs.

It's you. Mmm.

What little is left of me.

Hi, handsome.
Bring home the big bucks?

Look at that shirt.
Is that a power shirt or what?

Nice suit, Ellyn.
Good shoulder pads.

- You looking to get drafted by the Eagles?
- Whoo.

What is it, honey?

Nothing. Just
every decision I've made

since the third grade turns out
to be completely bankrupt.

Ohh...

Oh, come here, honey.

You guys are cute.

You guys are my favorite couple.
You know that?

1917, I came to this country.

20 cents in my pocket.

I'm 19 years old.

A greenhorn.

And what did I do?

I went to work.

Grandpa, what
are you doing here?

I worked the night shift.

I worked the day shift.

And thank God, for 50 years

I provided my family.

I know, Grandpa,
but it's more complicated

- than that these days.
- You see, because in Russia

I used to get ten cents

to protect the other
Jewish kids from bullies.

I know. I remember that story.

And the peasant boys
would throw stones.

So I beat one of them up
one day.

Sent him to the hospital.

That showed 'em.

And the Cossacks.
Don't forget about the Cossacks.

Then the Cossacks came.

Took everything.

That was terrible.

I know. I know. I'm just
so confused, Grandpa.

A man gets on with his life.

That's what he does.

Please, God.

May I live to see you
become a great man.

You really think I could
be a great man, Grandpa?

You're the only one
in the family, Michael.

But first,
you have to finish college.

- What?
- Find yourself a wife.

- A nice girl.
- Here's my wife.

And have children.

Grandpa, what
are you talking about?

Enough of this
dropping out business...

- Dropping out of what?
- This protesting.

Gr... Tell me what to do.

I know you had
an argument with your father.

Listen to me.

I'm older than you are.

You're making a federal case
out of nothing.

Go get a haircut!

Dr.J. shoots!

Aah!

Hey. Hey. Hey. Mike.

One quick game of horse,
and then we can get started.

I'll go first.

Okay, you can go first.

Close the door.

What?

Close the door.

We're taking the job.
Rent the stage.

Okay.

Is it okay?

You were the only one
worried about it.

Okay.

Call in Janine.

Oh, no.

Call her in.

Like, call her in.

Well, do I have to be here?

What if she, like,
cries or somethin'?

Call her in.

Janine?

Can you come in here for a sec?

You guys want to order
lunch already?

No. No.

Janine...

you've worked here
for the past three months.

During that time, your attitude has
been very positive. Thank you.

You also have
the worst language skills

I have ever witnessed
in an adult human being.

You can't spell. You can't type.

You cannot get names right
on the telephone.

Now, I want you to know
that Elliott and I

have really given a lot of thought
to this, and we've... we've tried

to give you the benefit
of every doubt.

And what it comes
down to is this:

We just cannot live with it
any longer.

I'm sorry to have to tell you
this, but you're just...

You're j... you're just...

gonna have to...

do better.

Okay.

Yeah. Just a little better.

So. Dave.

36 hours, hordes of people are
gonna descend upon this house,

most of whom I don't even know.

Are we gonna have
a room in there?

What do you need a room for?

We'll just knock out
the back wall,

put a spa in there.

Yeah, and do what
in the winter, ice-skate?

No. Keep it hot.

It's great for those
late-night romantic interludes.

There's a concept.

Oh, come on. You guys are cool.

Husband's cute.

Got a great kid.

Beautiful decor.

So. Uh...

what's it gonna be anyway?

Limousines? A thousand people?

Big tent in back?

Yeah. Don't forget
the 50 servants.

Breakfast?

Uh...

Beats rice with... apricots.

Got jelly.

Thanks.

Dave.

What?

Thank you.

For what?

For making my week... my man.

I don't get it.

Yeah, you do.

That's okay.

Well. Uh...
Well, I guess this, uh...

this isn't gonna happen, is it?

Not in this millennium,
at least.

And you... you'd have no problem
with this, would you, Dave?

God, this was fun.

I mean, you're talking to someone
who's been out of the known universe

for the last...

Oh, shut up, Hope.

No. What?

I mean, it's just
that you spend...

you spend so much time with baby food
in your hair and on your clothes,

and you just...

I don't know.

"Come behold unto ye,
Macaulay Connor."

What? Who?

What Katharine Hepburn
said to Jimmy Stewart.

The Philadelphia Story?

Oh, never mind.

Hi, Mr. Mike.

Hello, David.

Hi, sweetie. Home so early? Mmm!

- Well...
- Come on, baby.

Let's show Daddy
what we did today.

Let's show Daddy how
we almost walked.

Okay, come on. There you go.
Okay. Okay.

I didn't prompt her in this.
Swear to God.

Okay. Okay. I mean, we just
try it a hundred times.

Oh, come on. Don't ruin my credibility.
Come on.

She really did this.

Yeah, I know.
You gotta go. Come on.

So?

You know what?

I hate this.

I don't want this room
to be like this.

You know what I think?

I think you're done, Dave.

I'm done?

I think I would rather leave
the room looking like this

than have it look the way
I don't want it to look.

So you want
to leave it like this.

This is nothing against you,
you understand.

You're a great guy, and...
And an okay carpenter,

and I'll pay you
whatever I owe you.

It's just... I don't want another piece
of crummy wallboard on these walls.

Michael, you can't leave it
like this for the party.

I guess I have to.

Definitely not my day.

All right. What is going on?

I'm making decisions.
I rented the space.

I'm in over my head.
I'm a terrible person.

Michael, you know what I think?

I think this is boring.

I mean, you want me
to comfort and baby you

and make everything all right,

only I don't see
what it is that's wrong.

I mean, what is it exactly
that you're upset about?

You're upset because
your business is doing well

and you have to rent a space
so you can film a commercial.

You're upset because you're spending
a lot of money, which you've earned

on a house which you love so you
can fix it up in a certain way

and have a big party
and show it off.

You could be upset
because Janey's healthy.

How about the fact that
we have enough food to eat?

That's very upsetting.

Don't forget about Jerry Stahl.

Exactly! Here's a guy
I had an affair with

eight years ago,
and you're upset,

even though you're the one

that I'm with now and forever
until the end of time.

I mean, what is it about you

that makes it so impossible for
you to enjoy the things you have?

Because I might lose them?

So you pretend
that you don't have them

rather than risk that?

What about the Cossacks?

You're right. Armed men could
swoop down at any moment,

and everything that you have
or hold dear

could be instantly taken away.

But then again,
that might not happen.

And wouldn't you feel foolish

having waited around
all that time?

You can't tell me
that bad things don't happen.

Oh, Michael. I love you so much,

but you're such
a pain in the butt.

Yes. Bad things happen.

But not as punishment
for the good things.

Can you see that it's not
the end of the world

if you enjoy yourself...

just a little... bit?

I remember
the starter house we bought.

It was almost as broken down
as this one.

- Hello, Hope.
- Hi. Sorry we're late.

What a great idea!

How'd you ever come up
with this idea?

Oh, no, you didn't.

I don't believe you.

I got the scars to prove it.
It's right out front.

- Yeah?
- A thousand ccs. Go ahead, drive it yourself.

Oh, yeah. I see
the scar right...

Oh, there's
an amusing sport coat.

Could feed a family of four in Guatemala
for a year on that sport coat.

Oh, you are such
a fake, Shepherd.

What did you ever do in college

except go out on strike
when you were afraid

- to take the final in organic chemistry?
- Whoa.

Whoa. A lot more
than some people I know.

Who was out there
trying to wake people up

to the situation
in Central America?

Who spends eight hours a week
tutoring high school kids

who can't even read...

Tell me about
the marches, George.

Oh, hi. Nice to meet you.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

He's here. He's here.

Who?

Who? Jerry Stahl.
The man himself.

He's over by the food.

So?

So why don't you
serve better drinks?

Excuse me.

You did?

It's so great to see you.

I'm really glad you could come.

Michael, come meet
an old friend.

This is Jerry Stahl.

How you doing, Mike?

I've been hearing
about you for years.

I've been
hearing about you, too.

I met your little girl.

She's going to be a real killer.

Nice to meet you.

Do you want some food?

Next time we'll have you
over to our house.

No, it was my fault.

I... I didn't see the nail.

This is an old jacket anyway.

I can't believe

we haven't said four words
to you all day.

Well, that's what I love
about parties.

You spend all this time

treating all these
strangers like friends,

and you end up treating
your friends like strangers.

So don't leave.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Really great party.

We should have lunch sometime.

Sure, Jer. Let's do lunch.

Extended physical encounter.

Ha. Not a bad party.

Good eats.

Glad you could make it, Dave.

Well, you guys, uh,
have a great life.
