[car honking]

[people chattering]

[Nick] Here they come.

[car honking]

[police car siren wailing]

[Kate] Hi.

[Anne] Hi, Kate.

Hi, Annie.

Here, let me take that.
I'll get that out of your way.

- [Nick] Kate?
- [Kate] Hi, babe.

[car honks]

Oh, look at this.

[Anne] No, don't do that.
It's for tomorrow.

Well, for him, there's no tomorrow.

[Nick] Jack, control yourself. Please.

Hey, what are you doing?

I waited 20 minutes in line for that.
Come on.

All right. Give me some of that. Come on.

[all laughing]

- Are we all here?
- [all] Yeah. Let's go.

[honking]

[door closes]

Hey!

[all snickering]

[Nick] The guy is going away for a weekend

and he's bringing his whole wardrobe.

[all laughing]

[Nick] Be careful.

[Danny] Don't worry about the eggplants.

- I got five of them.
- [Jack] You got five eggplants?

What do you mean, the baby ones?

[Danny] Baby ones? They're like salamis.

[Nick snickers] 13 eggplants.

[Kate] Isn't that kind of a lot?

You can never have too many eggplants.

- Hi, how are you?
- Hi.

Claudia's at her studio.

Turn left on Christopher, right on Hudson.

[all chuckling]

[Danny] Hey, what happened to the bread?

What is this, you started without me?

[car honks]

[Danny] Need help?

I'm okay.

[Jack] Hi, Claudia.

Hi.

[Anne] Hi, Claudia.

[Danny] You brought your work.

I stopped my work for the weekend.

Danny, please. You're a dentist.

[Danny] Do you hear this?

I can sculpt a bicuspid
that would fool God himself,

but I'm just a dentist.

[Jack] Do we... Do we have any ginger?

[Danny] I got two pounds of ginger
and a pound of garlic.

[Kate] Annie,
didn't you have a tree there?

[Anne]
Yeah, but we just... We had to cut it down.

I miss it.
You could see it from the bedroom.

[Jack] Hey, we have locks, right?

[Nick] Two locks.
A big lock and a little lock.

[Anne] Oh, I love those flowers.

- [Danny] I forgot my cleaver.
- [Jack] That's all right, I got a cleaver.

[Claudia] You believe this?

They've been organizing
this one meal for two weeks?

- [Kate] I believe it.
- [men laughing]

[door closes]

[Kate] God, look at that.

- [Claudia] Look at this.
- [Kate] How did you take this?

- What do you do, throw them up in the air?
- [laughter]

[Anne] I took a piece of glass

and put the vegetables on the glass,
and I got--

[Claudia] Wait. That's... That one I want.

- Oh, isn't that gorgeous?
- Too heavy to stand those up

- [Kate] Is this the way this goes?
- [Anne] Yes.

[Kate] Looks like a face.

[Anne] It does look like a face.

[Kate] The nose, the eyes, the ears.

Did you try the Pegasus Gallery in SoHo?

Yes. I just... I can't believe that man.

[clattering]

I just... I told him that
I had been working

on this series of pictures
for three years,

and do you know what he said?

He said, "Three years
photographing vegetables?

Don't you think
that's a little constipated?"

Do you believe that?

Well, it all depends on the vegetables.

[men coughing]

[Danny] What you gonna do with the cover?

Take it off. Please take it off.

The chili pepper's cooking.
They have to be charred.

Okay. It will be charred.

Oh, come on.

[utensils clattering]

[both laughing]

Cook or laugh, what is this?

Well, do something with it.
Pour water on it.

Pour water on hot oil.
You're kidding, right?

My eyes are tearing.
I can't see what I'm doing.

We're gonna have
chopped knuckles and hot garlic sauce.

- Here, here.
- I really can't see.

Wait. Come here.
How is that? Is that better?

Oh, terrific.

You rubbed it in real good. I'm blind.

The oil's not hot enough.

Then why have I lost my eyesight?

It's not hot enough.

You cannot cook Chinese food
unless the oil is 480 degrees.

- Oh, damn.
- It's a scientific fact.

Did Einstein say that?

Newton. Isaac Newton.
The inventor of Moo Shu Pork.

[both guffawing]

- Hey, Annie?
- Mmm-hmm?

The magazine is doing a piece

on the top ten executives in the country.

How would you like to
photograph them for us?

Oh, God, I'd love to be in Fortune.

[exclaims]

When do you need them?

By July.

[men chattering]

You mean of this year?

Annie, that's two months from now.

[men laughing]

Yes, I know that.

I just, um...

I don't work that fast.

Annie, how are you ever
going to get published?

You have to move.

What's the matter with you?

Just do a story on
the top ten broccoli in the country.

Chicken salad. You got those rice things?

[Jack] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Do it now
and they'll all be ready at the same time.

I've got this timed out scientifically.

- Yes, sir.
- Watch this. Watch this. You ready?

- Yeah.
- Watch out.

Here we go.

[all exclaiming]

[Jack] Isn't that beautiful?

[Danny] That's incredible.

Okay. First course.

[women exclaiming]

[all chattering]

And Chinese beer.

Bravo!

- Bravo!
- Bravo!

[Danny] Thank you.

[Kate] Did you leave out the MSG?

No MSG. Grab your sticks and eat.

- Here's some rice. Pass it around.
- Wait, wait. Start with the appetizers.

That's the chicken salad.

Oh, my God, Danny. That's fantastic.

Wait. Pass it around!

[all chattering]

Danny's my genius!

The shrimp is incredible.

Okay. I have a toast.

Toast. To Nick and Anne.

Yeah.

And to this dinner which is wonderful.

Watch it, watch it, watch it.

And to the reason we're here tonight.

Not just to celebrate your anniversary,

but to that deeper thing
that brings us all close together.

To what bonds us, and...

And makes us huddle against
the cold winds of divorce

that have blown through
the lives of our friends.

Oh, that's lovely.

- Really nice.
- [Danny] Nice, nice.

Thanks, Jack.

- [Anne] May I say something?
- [Jack] Yes.

I just wanna say that I...

That was the most depressing goddamn toast
that I have ever heard in my life.

[all laughing]

Why? Why?

- [Jack] What's wrong with that?
- He got to the heart of it.

He faced it. He told us his fears.

That's why we're here.

That's why I'm in analysis, you know.

It's not why I'm eating dinner.

Well, I think he's right.
That's what brought us together.

I don't get this close
with all my patients.

We didn't meet through you.

- Sure we did!
- Oh!

We did! We did!

Didn't I do some legal work for you?

Then we all got to know one another,
started going out together.

No. I remember going over your estate
with you.

We did not meet through the men at all.

No. They think everything
revolves around them.

Annie is absolutely right.

You and I,

we met at a women's
photographers exhibition

and then Anne and I
met Claudia at an art gallery.

You didn't get at their teeth
until months later.

Uh, we met seven years ago.

It was the third week... Thank you.

The third week in July.

And my first appointment
with Danny was, uh, for a filling.

It was, uh, September 8,

uh...

and it was a Wednesday.

How can you remember that?

Oh, uh, I remember things like that
because I feel they're important.

Look, the point is
what brings us together.

- Right. That's the point.
- [Danny] Right?

[Jack] That's the point.

We owe the depth, breadth
and height of this friendship

to the world's most ancient emotions,

fear and panic.

[all laughing]

Am I right? Am I right?

- I love you.
- Am I right?

Listen, I spent three hours buying this

and four hours chopping it
into little pieces.

I'm not just gonna eat it,
I'm gonna make love to it.

You keep talking. I'll eat yours.

[all exclaiming]

Wait. Come on. Cut it out.

[fender rattling]

Come on, he's down in the orchard.

I... I can't get this damn
fender straight.

I'll see you down there.

Yeah.

[fender thudding]

[engine revving]

[yells]

Hey, you look great.

Don't get too close. Watch your foot.

Come on. I'll race you.

I'm going fast enough.
I just wanna dry my hair.

Come on.
We'll see who gets to the house first.

Let's just see if we can get there.
How about that?

Hey, you want a helmet?

Of course I want a helmet.

Oh, that's better. That's nice.

Hey, Danny!

Hey! You wanna race?

[Danny] No.

[Nick] Come on. Let's race a little.

[Danny] Look, leave me alone, will you?

[Jack] You look great on that thing.

[Nick] Come on. What do you say?

[Danny] I don't wanna race!

[Jack] Good. You ready?

Go!

[Jack] Go, Danny. Go! Go! Go!

Whoa!

Watch out! Watch out!

I won!

[all laughing]

I won! I did it! I did it! I won!

[Danny] I won! I won!

What happened? Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine. Are you okay?

I am the greatest!

The sexy dentist won!

I won!

Danny, you're wonderful! I love you!

[laughing]

[birds chirping]

Hey, how about Indian food next time?

We can...
We can make our own mango chutney,

we can fry a little chapati.

[Nick] How about Indonesian?
We could do a whole rice table.

- Oh, yeah. That will be great.
- [Claudia] I'd love that.

[Danny] Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
I think I got it.

What?

It's 1:00.

Homemade pasta...

Yeah?

...Florentine chicken...

Mmm-hmm.

...on a... On a bed of spinach.

Oh, yeah.

And a hot antipasto of mussels
in marinara sauce. How about that?

- [all exclaim]
- Is that good?

Danny, please. I'm Italian.

Oh, you don't think we can do it, huh?

Didn't we make
a great Chinese meal last night?

Yeah. Well, look, we're not Chinese.
You know?

By us it was Chinese. What do we know?

[all laughing]

Danny, please. She's Italian.

Yeah.

I can make a better sauce
than your mother.

My poor mother has arthritis.

Of course you make a better sauce
than her.

Before her arthritis.

[Jack guffawing]

Will you guys shut up?
You're depressing the birds.

[laughing]

How's your leg?

Oh, fine.

I've been banged up so many
times I hardly even notice it.

In college he played
football with a broken wrist

and then two big guys picked him up
and threw him on his head

and he was unconscious for three hours.

[exclaims] Those were the days.

[both laughing]

Hey. Hey.

Listen to the water
lapping against the sides of the boat.

[sighs]

To be with friends sipping wine,
this is what it is to be happy.

This, and being incredibly rich.

[all laughing]

I'm a lifetime member
of Equitable's Million Dollar Roundtable.

Give me some cheese, will you?

I'm one of the most
successful estate planners in New York.

But that's nothing compared to this.

Nick, please. I wish that you would relax.

Please. He's always selling.

What are you talking about?

You're an estate planner?

You're an insurance salesman.

- [all giggling]
- [Nick] I don't plan estates?

I'm not in the Million Dollar Roundtable?

Oh. Do you know what you get for being
in the Million Dollar Roundtable?

- What?
- What?

A plastic statue and a weekend,

a weekend
at the La Cucaracha Hotel in Puerto Rico.

- What are you doing?
- [all exclaiming]

- I'm gonna make a toast.
- Again? Not another one.

Here's to us.

Here's to apple trees,

to cheese...

- Here's to cheese?
- [all exclaiming]

...and wine and bread and laughter,

[all laughing]

and life itself.

It's beautiful. Sit down.

[all laughing]

Carefully.

- [all laughing]
- Oh, shit.

[Danny] What, again?

I don't want
to let this afternoon disappear

without something to remember it by.

Some memorial of our
affection for one another.

Yeah. Terrific.

But just don't wave your arms, okay?

This is for all of you
so that we'll never forget this day.

[Nick] Yeah.

[all screaming]

[all laughing]

I don't believe it!

What are you doing in the lake?

[all laughing]

All right. I accept that gesture
from my friend.

He's not gonna be alone in doing it.

[all giggling]

My only regret is that
I'm not wearing my $500 suit.

[all screaming]

I'll just jump in with my bread.

[all hooting]

- [Danny] It's wonderful.
- Ah.

[all exclaiming]

[all chattering]

[birds chirping]

[Nick] Hey, uh...

[Jack] Hey.

You all right?

Sure.

You look distracted.

I'm okay.

You know,

I think we're close enough to
say anything to each other.

Really. Anything.

You and Kate happy?

[branch cracking]

Yeah. Very.

I mean, happy.

Can you honestly say you're really happy?

Yeah, but not every minute.

It comes in waves.

At times you hit lows and you can't
stand things about each other.

Like the way her teeth click
when she eats.

The way I smell my sweatshirt
before I put it on.

Sometimes we drive each other crazy.

And then there are times

we go through a period
like the one we're in now.

It comes over us like an unexpected wave,
puppy love.

I can't wait to see her.

And then when I'm with her,
my heart beats faster.

I'd expect it with somebody
who's a stranger,

but not somebody
I've spent half my life with.

It's wonderful.

[Nick] I wish I could feel that.

Oh, you will. It'll come back.
Just give it time.

No. I've never felt it.

[sighs]

I shouldn't have married Anne.

I was crazy as a kid.

I figured
she'd be some kind of stability for me.

[chuckles]

Well, she certainly is stable.

I mean, she's a decent woman,
she's a good mother,

but she doesn't do anything.

Doesn't think anything.

I've never heard one stimulating idea
come out of her mouth ever.

When she took up photography,

I thought,
finally she's gonna do something.

She spent three years
photographing vegetables.

[birds chirping]

She's not just stable, she's inert.

So work on it with her.
Talk to her about it.

Jack, I've tried for 20 years.
I get nothing.

Do you know how painful it is
to want to love someone?

You've no idea how lonely I've been.

Look at her. Look at her.

[Nick chuckles softly]

[Nick] She gets obsessed with things.

She'll pace up and down all day long

with the same thought,
turning it over and over

in her head.

She remembers the day
she got her tooth filled.

Can you remember that?

Christ. I can barely remember
the first time I got laid.

I come home from a day's selling,
she wants to talk about her work.

Fine. You know what she talks about?

Vegetables.

For a year and a half
we talked about zucchini.

Then for a year, green peppers.

That was a nice change.

[laughs]

Last night was the end of 21 years.

And that's enough.

Today's the beginning of a new life
for me.

What?

That's it. It's over.

[bird chirping]

You can't just quit.
What... What are you...

What are you talking about?
What's the matter with you?

I want to make a new start.
I want a new family.

What about your old family?

Lisa's 18. She can handle this.

I want a woman I can be excited by.

You've got somebody else, don't you?
You got somebody waiting in the wings.

No, I don't. I swear I don't have
anybody waiting in the wings.

Why are you making this
so difficult for me?

I thought I could tell you anything.

[birds chirping]

How can you just throw her away
after 21 years like this?

I mean, what is she supposed to do now?

Oh, boy.

I thought if I told you,
you'd be happy for me.

I even had this fantasy that
you'd handle the divorce.

That I would handle the divorce?

In the first place,
I'm not a divorce lawyer,

and if I were,
I'd probably represent Anne.

I can't believe you would do this.

Jack, please.

This is the hardest thing
I've ever gone through in my life.

All right. I'm sorry.

Oh, God. Nick, this is awful. Geez.

Come on, let's go.

[all chattering]

Want some more of these?

Oh, yes. Thank you. Good, good.

You know,
beans are very much misunderstood.

They have a complex set of amino acids.

If you eat beans together with rice,
you never have to eat meat.

Danny loves to talk about beans.

Go ahead, sweetheart. Talk.

It's the combination that counts.
You want some of these?

[Nick] Yeah, I do.

You know, I've been thinking about that.

[Jack] About what?

Photographing vegetables in combinations,

not just one at a time. You know?

[hesitates]

I'm not sure yet.

[Kate] Hey, I did some research
on sailboats for the summer.

- [Danny] That's great.
- Already?

We only talked about it
a couple of days ago.

[Kate] I got it in here someplace.
Here it is.

Nick, you ought to check this out.
You're the sailor in the group.

[Danny] Where did you get all this?

Called a couple of boat brokers.

- No kidding.
- [Jack] Let me see one.

We can rent one in St. Thomas
and sail around the islands

and fly home.
The whole thing will take two weeks.

This woman's fantastic.

- Nick, isn't this beautiful?
- [Danny] I'd just love a boat.

Oh, is that the galley?

Yes.

And you know what?

I think it looks...
It looks a little small to me.

- [Claudia] Gorgeous.
- [Danny] Yeah, right.

Oh, I... I think we'll manage
very well, don't you?

Oh, I think it's beautiful.

Oh, look at that.

[rain pattering]

[thunder rumbling]

[sighs]

Can't you sleep?

Nick is getting a divorce.

How do you know?

He told me yesterday when
we were getting firewood.

Jeez.

Is there somebody else?

He says there isn't.

Why does he have to leave her?
Why can't they fight it out?

[thunder rumbling]

Hold me?

[seagulls cawing]

Morning.

You got up early.

[Jack] Oh, God.
It's gorgeous down there.

- Yeah?
- There's this enormous turtle.

You didn't try to ride him, did you?

Ride a turtle that big? Are you kidding?

I was thinking of it, but I got scared.

Oh. Good morning.

[sighs]

Hey, could you sleep last night?

Not very well. What is it with them?

I don't know, boy.

Oh, I thought I smelled coffee.

Good morning, Danny.

Thank you. Good morning. How are you?

[all chattering]

It's great.

Oh, my God. Daylight.

Claudia thinks she's seasick.

Are you?

No.

I'm just trying out
this new green makeup.

Claudia, you're not nauseated.

Danny, how come you're allowed to have
all these psychosomatic illnesses,

but when I throw up
into my tote bag at 2:00 in the morning,

it's just my imagination?

Did anyone sleep last night?

You're kidding, right?

With all those mating calls
coming from the master bedroom?

All night long.

I mean, who could have guessed

that it would be so distressing
to listen to other people humping?

[Nick] Hi, gang.

- Good morning.
- Morning.

[exclaims]

[seagulls cawing]

What a morning!

Oh, boy, smell that air. Huh?

Yeah.

Now, this is how the whole world
should live.

Uh-huh?

I slept like a baby last night.

Wasn't that a great night?

Oh, yeah. It was great. Yeah.

Wasn't it peaceful
bobbing around on the water like that?

Well, some parts of the boat
bobbed more than others.

[chuckles]

Hey, honey, throw on
your suit and come on up!

Coffee's on.

- Hi!
- [Kate] Good morning.

[Claudia] Good morning.

Did anybody hear anything
about the weather?

[Nick] Oh, yeah,
did you listen to the radio yet?

[Jack] Yeah, it's supposed to be clear.

[Nick] Shall we we head for St. Croix?

Wait a minute. You wanna move the boat?

[both laughing]

Come on, once you get used to it

you'll be
the most intrepid sailor of the bunch.

I don't see how we're gonna go anywhere
unless we can get the anchor up.

- We'll just pull it up.
- Pull it up?

Isn't that why we had
to stay here last night,

because we couldn't pull the anchor up?

Nah, if the three of us give it a yank,
it'll come up. Come on.

You boys go pull on your anchor
for a while. We'll be back here.

If that anchor comes out of the water,
there is no God.

[sighs]

Nick just amazes me.

I mean, he's so accomplished.

He can sail.
He knows how to choose wines.

Do you know that he's just about

the most successful
estate planner in New York?

- Is that so?
- [Ginny] Yeah.

He's a life member in
the Million Dollar Roundtable.

I hear they send you to Puerto Rico
for that.

Oh, yeah. He goes all over the place.

[laughs]

We met on my flight to L.A.

I sat with him for an hour
after the dinner service and...

God, I had just never met anybody
who knew so much about actuarial tables.

He's a charmer.

[laughs] Yeah.

How about Danny? Has he been sailing long?

[laughing]

No.

[Ginny] Well, how about Jack?

Jack saw Two Years Before the Mast
when he was 12.

[Nick] One, two, heave ho!

Come on. We're not gonna make it.

[Jack] This is like pulling a building.

Okay. Come on. Danny, watch your foot.

Watch out. Watch out.

It's stuck on something.

There's a big plant down there
or something.

I'll run her over.
Tell me when it's vertical.

- You're gonna what?
- I'm gonna start up the engine.

You tell me when this rope
is straight up and down, okay?

Do you know what the hell
he's talking about?

[seagulls cawing]

Hey.

What?

Maybe we shouldn't go anywhere.

Everybody's worried
that we don't know what we're doing.

I know what I'm doing.

Hey, your nose is getting red.
You better put something on it.

Well, I just think that
if anybody's nervous about it,

we should stop and talk about...

[gasps]

What is this?

[engine rumbling]

I don't know. Open it up.

Oh, my God.

Shalimar?

Oh, my God.

You are the sweetest man.

Look at this.

He's given me a present
every single day since we left St. Thomas.

You could make me
fall in love with you pretty easily.

[softly] You mean it could get worse?

Excuse me.

Okay. I'm gonna move her up. Tell me when.

[engine humming]

[engine revving]

More, more, more.

More, more.

More, more, more, more...

Hold it.

[Nick] Thank you.

You don't have to worry about
the anchor anymore.

- Come here.
- You want us down there?

[Nick] Yes.

At that end of the boat?

Come here and ready this sail.

Come on, Ollie.

They're really gonna move it.

I doubt it.

- [Jack] What do you want us to do?
- I want you to raise the mizzen.

[Danny] I'll close the lid.

Close the lid, we'll kill ourselves.

Close the hatch.

[Danny] Where will I stand?

There.
Pull on the rope like we did yesterday.

- I got it. I got it.
- Like yesterday.

Okay. I got the ribbons out here.

- [Kate] Ribbons?
- The gaskets.

I'm pulling the ropes.

- Okay.
- Okay?

[creaking]

There she goes!

[yells]

[all exclaiming]

Jack!

[Claudia] Oh, my God!

Here. Grab that.

[Kate] Are you all right?

What the hell are you trying to do?

Here, take this line.

Oh, my God. The boat's moving.

[Danny] What? What?

Turn the wheel.

Not on my boat. Don't touch anything!

Turn the wheel.

[boat rumbling]

[all screaming]

[Claudia] Jesus Christ!

You go ahead, folks. I'll catch up.

[Danny] I think we're stuck.

[Nick] She's gone aground.
We're on a sandbar.

[Kate] On the ground?

[Nick] We're stuck. Look at that.

[Kate] Oh, shit.

- Excuse me.
- Excuse me.

Sorry.

[exclaims]

I'll just get these into the water.

Oh, Jesus! They're so dirty.

Look, my lettuce water.

I gotta clean them.

[chattering]

Oh, now, wait a minute, wait a minute.
No salt, okay?

Just put the salt

on the sides
of whoever wants to poison themselves.

He doesn't eat salt.

Salt is bad for you?

I haven't used salt
or mucus products for three years

and I feel just great.

Who eats mucus?

He means cheese and milk.

Danny, say what you mean,
will you please?

You're talking to humans here.

Don't worry about it.
This recipe doesn't call for mucus.

- Excuse me.
- Got a knife?

[Jack] Where's a knife?

- [kissing]
- Excuse me.

I think I'm gonna die from the sun.

Why does my nose always
have to bother me?

Here, Danny, let me get in here.

I got something
that'll make you feel better.

Here you go. You put this...

- Oh, no, no, no.
- What?

You're not gonna put
that green, thorny thing on my nose.

For God's sakes.
You take the jelly out of it.

It's an aloe plant.
It'll make it just fine.

- [screams]
- What?

You stabbed me
with that goddamn Hawaiian plant.

- [Claudia] Be careful.
- I'm sorry. It's crowded in here.

Excuse me. Would you excuse me, please?

[object thudding]

I'm doing the best I can.

- [Claudia] Don't put it in my lettuce.
- Okay.

Jack and Kate owe Nick and me
$123 each for provisions,

except for the wine and beer
which Nick brought,

which everybody owes him $47 each for.

Why don't we just subtract
the $47 from the $123?

No, no, no, no, no.
That's gonna screw it up.

I've worked this out very carefully.

And I'd just like to tell you
that we are now

$350 over budget each.

All right, all right.

I don't see any trip to St. Croix
unless we have a meeting first.

I don't picture us seeing
St. Croix unless it floats by.

[sighs]

I can't believe he brought her.

How could he do that to Anne?

How could he do it to us?

But she's really nice, you know.

I mean, I like her.

She's wonderful.

I can't even enjoy hating her.

Who the hell needs that?

Danny is driving me crazy.

He has to be the expert on everything.

- What's the matter with him?
- He's very needy. That's all.

Needy?

He's hypochondriacal,
stingy, bossy, selfish,

compulsive and paranoid.

He's the Muhammad Ali of mental illness.

Shh. Quiet.

Look, if they don't want me
to keep the finances, I won't.

But there's something wrong with them.

These people are vicious. They're ill.

We're traveling
with a group of ill people.

I just can't believe that he would
bring her on the boat with us.

[chuckles] Every time I make a suggestion,

every time I say something
they're ignorant of,

do you see the way
they look at each other?

They discuss me behind my back.

I mean, she walks around
with that hanky on her hips

that's supposed to be a bathing suit.

Oh, God.

I get so depressed
every time I look at her.

These people are vicious.
Vicious and ill.

[Nick and Ginny laughing]

[Ginny moaning]

I don't believe it. They're at it again.

[Nick and Ginny moaning]

They never stop.

Those two are gonna kill themselves.

[both continue moaning]

[clears throat]

[Ginny moaning]

[mutters]

[Ginny moaning]

They're driving me crazy.

Talk about something else.

Something serious and complex.

We won't even... We won't even notice it.

All right. Okay.

Something serious. Go ahead.

- [Ginny moans]
- Something serious and complex.

Tell me about the Simmons suit.

The, uh, Simmons suit.

The Simmons suit.

Yeah. Okay.

[Nick and Ginny moaning]

The Simmons suit.

Well, it all depends
how the judge interprets...

the, uh,

environmental impact study.

[Nick grunting]

[wall thudding]

[Nick] Oh, yes.

[both continue moaning]

[wall thudding]

[Ginny exclaims]

[both moaning]

- "Part of the problem with inflation...
- [both continue moaning]

is that the production of goods
and services...

- [Nick moaning]
- ...per man hour of work

is falling at a rate of 3% a year."

What is she doing to him?

- [Nick moaning]
- You're not listening.

Now, will you just listen?

"If productivity falls 3%,
then wages have to fall 3%."

Are you listening?

[laughing]

"Then the cost of production rises."

[Nick moans]

[both laughing]

What goes up must come down.

[Nick moaning]

So...

[Nick] Again.

no, not again!

[Nick moaning]

[Jack and Kate laughing]

[Kate] I can't take any more of this.

[seagulls cawing]

[groans]

[both sigh]

Do you want some breakfast?

I'm too sleepy to eat.
These people are killing me.

I'm gonna make some coffee
and see if I can wake up.

Maybe if I lie in the sun,
I can go back to sleep.

[Nick and Ginny laughing]

[water splashing]

[Nick laughs]

Oh, my God.

[Ginny giggling]

What?

[Ginny laughing]

[Nick] Down here. Quick.

Oh, my God.

[Danny] Is the coffee ready?

I can't get my eyes open this morning.

Come here this'll get your eyes open.

[Ginny laughing]

[Danny] They're swimming already?
Where do they get the energy?

Keep looking.

What am I supposed to see?

A-ha.

[Claudia] What's the matter?
Is everybody sick?

Come here, come on.

[water splashing]

Oh, my God.

[Ginny giggling]

You know, when you really think about it,
there isn't anything sexual about it.

It's natural.

People go to their doctor's offices,
they take off their clothes,

it doesn't mean a thing.

Meanwhile, he hasn't
taken his eyes off her for a second.

[Ginny] I almost got you.

Hi!

Hi!

- Hi.
- Hi.

Oh, they're swimming over.

- Oh, Jesus.
- Oh, Lord.

Just act casual.

What, you mean like you?

I'm gonna make breakfast.

I don't wanna look at my friends naked.

It makes it hard
to have dinner with them later.

Yeah. I'm gonna go sit in the shade.

[Claudia] And I think,
maybe, I'll read a book.

Okay, Danny,
we've all got something to do.

What's everybody getting so crazy about?

You can't see anything.

Then what are you standing there for?

He's hoping she'll turn over
and do the backstroke.

I was just enjoying their playfulness.

They're like a couple of porpoises.

It's a pure animal pleasure
of having fun, that's all.

Danny, will you,
for Christ's sake, sit down?

What's the matter with this woman?

- [laughs]
- Huh! Shit.

Hold it. Okay, hold it there.

Now give me a hand with this.

Okay. Here we go.

[Nick] Okay, Danny, start the winch.
Crank it up.

[winch creaking]

Okay.

[Nick] That's it.

Kate, make sure that tail line is taut.

[Kate] All right, come on, keep going.
Heave!

[Nick] Keep cranking. Keep cranking.

All right, Ginny,

I wanna put a little more pressure on it.

Hoist that sail.

[Ginny] Okay!

[Nick] That's it.

- [Kate] Danny.
- Yeah?

[Nick] That's it, darling.

Now put a little muscle into it.

[both grunting]

[sail creaking]

[winch rattling]

[Nick] All your weight.
That's it. That's it. That's it.

[women exclaiming]

[Nick] That's it!

[all cheering]

Yeah, yeah. It's working!

- Terrific!
- It's working!

[all continue cheering]

[Nick] Yes! Yes!

[all cheering]

Where the hell are they going?

[Jack] Hey, wait for us!

Claudia! Claudia, back it up!

We're headed out to sea!

Isn't this terrific?

[Kate] Put it in reverse!

[Claudia whooping]

[Claudia exclaims]

[seagulls cawing]

[Claudia] Okay, tell me when.

[Danny] Good, good. Thank you.
Thanks, honey.

Why do you think
we love this boat so much?

I don't know.

Do you know why I think
we like this boat so much?

- I knew it.
- What?

I knew it.

He only asked us so he could
tell us his feelings.

Oh, come on.

Go ahead. Go ahead, sweetheart, tell us.

Why do we love this boat so much?

Because it represents
our primeval desire to control water.

Ah. See?

[Jack] No, think about it.

All our beginnings are wet.

Sloshing around in the womb, baptism,

first life that came from
the warm soup of the ocean.

From the moment
we rose from the slime as alligators,

we've been trying for dominion over water.

You know?

Mmm-hmm.

Jack loves ideas
and he can do so much with them.

I have seen him take one idea
at a dinner party

and bring the conversation
of a dozen people

to a complete halt.

[chuckles]

Ladies and gentlemen. Clams casino.

[all exclaiming]

Oh, my God. I love them.

I have this insatiable need
to have dominance over the clam.

[Nick] Take forks.

It so happens

that Venus rose from the sea
on a clam shell.

Sexuality was born in wetness.

It's easier that way.

[all laughing]

Hey.

Mine's all closed up.

How'd that happen?

- I don't know.
- Open it.

[Nick] podge your finger in it. Right.

Oh, Nick.

That must be some clam.

Look what he gave me.

What a guy.

I'm beginning to feel left out.

[exclaims]

Hmm. You got something, too?

Sand!

- Oh!
- Oh, Jack.

That's all right.

[Kate laughing]

I'm gonna go down below
for a few minutes.

I think I'll see if she's all right.

[seagulls cawing]

Do you think they're gonna do it again?

You know,

I'm real pissed off at him
for what he did to Anne,

but I have to tell you,

I get a funny feeling

watching two people
who are that much in love.

How do you suppose we lost that?

We didn't.

Just 'cause they're bumping
into the furniture and we're not,

that doesn't mean
that we've lost interest.

Is he still thoughtful?

Yes, Jack is thoughtful.

Does he observe good bathroom etiquette?

[Kate] Like what?

Well, like does he leave the seat up
or does he put it down?

It's funny how people tend to
forget little things like that.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
You're not talking about me.

- I always put the seat down.
- Sure, after I yelled at you.

Do you know how many times in the dark

I've fallen that extra inch
onto the porcelain?

Anyway, I don't find them
all that adorable.

They're making this trip very difficult.

They're not even on this trip.

They walk around mooning all the time,
making goo-goo eyes.

My God, if one of them farts,
the other thinks it's Guy Lombardo.

I think it's kind of nice.

I don't know. I...

I want us all to feel like we did before.

[Claudia] Hmm.

I wanna feel like them.

God, I love that woman. She just kills me.

[seagull squawks]

Honey?

What?

It's not the same anymore.
Everybody's different.

Have you noticed that?

Yeah.

What is it? Is it me or something?

- No.
- Are you sure?

You're not doing anything.

You're a little jealous of Nick.

- No, I'm not.
- Sure you are.

I'm not. What are you...
What are you talking about?

Look, honey, it's only natural.

Look, she's a beautiful,
young, adoring woman, right?

Yeah.

And she believes every single thing
he tells her about himself.

Now, it's only natural for you
to want that.

Well, but I... I'm jealous?

- You preen for her.
- I do not.

You do, too.

- I don't.
- Jack.

Come on. You walk around here,

you're holding in your stomach
all the time.

You... You shave. You comb your hair.

Well, I... No, I think
you've misinterpreted something.

- No, excuse me, I...
- Look, forget it.

Enjoy your fantasies.

I don't have any fantasies about her.

- Yeah?
- Well, no serious fantasies.

Well, you know, for somebody who likes
to get to the heart of things,

you have this incredible knack

for denying your own feelings.

- You wish I were jealous of him.
- Why?

'Cause that would alleviate
what you feel about her.

- Hey, you're getting angry.
- No, no, no. I'm not. No.

If you're angry,
would you do me a favor and just be angry?

- I am not angry.
- Don't start with the analyzing.

I am not angry!

And you're not clenching
your teeth either, right?

Okay, all right, that's a problem I have.

Sometimes when I get angry, I... I analyze.

You certainly do.

You know why I do that?

I don't care why!

Look, you got a little hate
going there, right?

- Admit it.
- I am not angry and I don't hate,

so just shut up about that, okay?

[laughing]

Come on, shut up.

Stop.

[water splashing]

[Claudia screaming]

[laughing]

[Jack and Kate laughing]

[Claudia exclaiming]

[tires screeching]

[all clamoring]

[Claudia] Will you slow down?

Do you know where the brake is?

[Jack] We got plenty of time.

You don't understand
the soul of a car like this.

It was born for speed.

I'm in complete control.

What are we cramped up in here for?

We could've used their station wagon.

- A station wagon is a car.
- Ah.

A Mercedes is a thoroughbred.

Every so often,

it needs to be taken out
in the open road and challenged.

- Want some?
- Yeah, I'd love a bite.

- Don't eat!
- What?

- Don't eat!
- Why?

The crumbs go down in the upholstery.

You'll never get it out.

The car will look like
the bottom of a bird cage.

Isn't that crazy?
I'm starving.

One loaf of French bread

and the resale value goes down $500.

You wanna eat a $500 sandwich,
it's up to you.

How about if I just eat
the insides for a dollar?

[tires screeching]

[all exclaiming]

[bell tolling]

[all groaning]

[Nick] Can you make it?

[Kate] Claudia, once we find our kids,

why don't you and Danny drop us off?

Then you can go see Mike at Wesley.

We'll see him tomorrow.
It's Saturday night.

He's probably out trying to get laid.

What makes you think
your son's always doing something sexual?

Please, I'm Italian.

Hi! There she is!

[all exclaiming]

Bethie!

Hi, guys.

Hi!

[Kate] God, you look great.

[Beth] Hi!

- Hello, honey.
- Hi.

- Hello.
- Hi.

- [Beth] Lisa's down there somewhere.
- Where?

Down there. Come on, I'll show you.

Guess what? I got an "A" in history.

[Kate and Jack exclaim]

And this teacher is such a jerk,
you wouldn't believe it.

He wouldn't even tell us
what to write about.

I had to figure the whole thing out
by myself.

You don't think he was trying to get you
to think for yourself?

No, Mom. This guy is really a jerk.

If the jerks had their own country,
this guy would be president.

[both laughing]

Oh, there she is. Lisa! Lis!

I'll... I'll go get her. Hold on, will you?

Wait right there.

Okay.

Oh, God, she's wonderful.

[Danny] That kid sure
takes a real bite out of life.

Hiya, babe.

[Lisa] Hi, Dad.

Hi. You look great.

[Kate] Hi, Lisa.

Hi.

- Hi, Lisa.
- Hi.

It's good to see you again.

- Hi, Lisa.
- Hi.

[Nick] Doesn't she look good?

[Jack] Oh, you look terrific. Just great.

Thanks.

Oh, I have a present for you.

[Nick] Right.

Yeah. I'll... I'll go get it. Okay?

So, you're getting enough sleep,
and food and everything?

You look just great.

Thanks.

Can you have lunch with us now?

We're gonna have lunch at the inn, okay?

- Sure.
- You got a ride over there, right?

Yeah, I'm gonna go with Beth in her car.

- You know the way?
- Yeah, yeah, of course.

There's a return slip,
if it's the wrong size or something.

Thank you.

See you later, Lisa.

Okay, we'll see you over there. Bye-bye.

[Claudia] See you later, girls.

[Danny] Bye-bye.

[Nick] Oh, boy, does she look great.

You don't think she looked
a little depressed?

- Who? You mean Lisa?
- Yeah, Lisa.

[Nick] No, no.
She has a slow metabolism.

That's up. She's up today.

Maybe you should have a talk with her.

What's the matter with you people?
I tell you, the kid is a survivor.

Just a little talk.

It'll make her feel so much better.

[chuckles]

Okay.

[Kate] Do you lock it now or what?

- [Jack]You wanted to lock it first?
- [Danny] No.

Check in first.

[all chattering]

[Ginny] This is...

[Kate] Did you know Anne is here
this weekend?

- Anne is here?
- Oh, no.

- Are you sure?
- Beth told me.

My God, how did that happen?

[birds chirping]

Anne's grown up. She can take it.

What makes you think we can?

Did you know she was coming?

When I talked to her Tuesday,

she said she was gonna work it out
with Nick.

[Kate] I called her when we said
we were coming up here

just so this wouldn't happen.

I don't understand.

Nick, you didn't tell her
you were coming here with Ginny

and she didn't tell you?

I don't know. She might have
mentioned she was thinking of it.

She never does what she says
she's gonna do. She's unreliable.

I don't even listen to her half the time.

[Kate] That might be a small problem
right there.

You know, I don't wanna talk her down,

but she is unreliable.

I mean, Nick has made three appointments

to meet her down at his lawyer's office
and she's never shown up.

She hasn't even called.

Now, wait a minute.

No offense, Ginny, but 21 years ago
Nick said he would be there

on the other side of the bed every
morning, and for the last six months

he hasn't kept his appointment, either!

Okay, uh, look... Look, let's calm down.

It's not all that bad.
It's just a little embarrassing.

I don't see what the big problem is.

We're all adults.

We'll just say "Hello," and, uh...

Have a nervous breakdown.

Ginny, I'm sorry.

The... The... This...
There is a lot of strain in the situation

and I get passionate sometimes.

That's okay.

I know you're just trying
to be fair to everybody. [sniffles]

You're the one I wanted to make cry.

[Danny] Why do you have to
open up your mouth again?

- Danny, it's over and done with, please.
- Come on.

Let's have a nice quiet time, just once.

- We're gonna have...
- All right, let's get a move on.

[Claudia] Shh. Please, not now.

- Hey, you okay?
- Yeah.

- You sure?
- I'm okay.

Do you have a reservation for Callan,
please?

You're all registered, Mr. Callan.

I'm all registered?

Mrs. Callan checked in a few minutes ago.

[indistinct chatter]

Everything all right?

Oh, yeah, everything's terrific.

Do we have our rooms?

Wait a minute.

Uh, could I see you over here
for a minute, please?

Could I see you over here
for a minute, please?

What's the matter?

[whispers] As far as I can make out,

Anne has just checked into our room.

- Oh, no, I knew it.
- Oh, my God.

Look, we can just go someplace else.

[Kate] On Parents' Weekend, everything's
booked within 50 miles of here.

[Ginny] Well, then I'll sleep in the car.

I could sit up all night in the diner.

[sighs] Maybe the earth will
just open up and swallow me.

Hi, everybody.

Hi.

[all] Hi.

[Kate] Hi. How are you?

[Anne] I'm fine.

Oh, that's a nice kiss.

[Kate] This is wonderful.

You look gorgeous.

Thank you.

[Jack] It's great to see you.

Uh, hi.

[Anne laughing]

- Did you see Lisa?
- No, I haven't yet.

- Oh, she looks terrific.
- She does?

- [Jack] Oh, yeah.
- Oh, good. I miss her.

Hi. I'm Ginny.

Oh, this is Ginny Newley.

How do you do? I...
We've spoken on the phone, I believe.

Yes, I... I think we have.

Okay, I got that taken care of.

Oh, hi, Anne, how are you?

Fine, Nick, I'm fine. How are you?

I'm fine.

Well, now that we all know we're fine,

is there anything else
we ought to talk about?

Jack, don't, uh...
Don't try to get to the heart of things,

just let it lay there.

Why are we all pretending
we're not embarrassed?

Why don't we just say how we feel?

I feel, uh, like I wish you
would just sort of shut up.

Okay.

Lisa's on her way over here.

I'm gonna have lunch with her, okay?

Okay. I'll... I'll have dinner with her.

- Fine.
- Fine.

More fine, good. That's great.

[Danny] Hmm.

Listen, it's lovely to see you all.
It really is.

Okay, goodbye.

- Talk to you later, honey.
- Take care.

It was very nice to meet you.

Of course. Thank you, Miss Newley.

[Ginny] Yes. Excuse me.

See, what was wrong with that?

Claudia, come on.

Do you have my room? Dr. Zimmer?

There won't be any more
Zimmers coming in, will there?

Better not be.

Annie? Hold on. Wait a second, huh?

Annie.

God, that must've been
murder for you in there.

[Anne] I'll get used to it.

Shall we talk?
I have a feeling we should talk.

[women laughing]

[Anne] Well, uh...

Actually I have the feeling

that, um, you're all deserting me.

Deserting you?

Yes.

You had that, uh, party on Labor Day,

and you asked Nick, but not me.

Annie! That's because he was with her.

We couldn't invite you both
to the same party.

We would've been nervous wrecks.

Annie, we love you.

Uh, look, next week,
why don't we have dinner?

We'll... We'll go see a movie. Huh?

Good, I would like that.

You know, you're right, it's true.

We've talked to you on the phone
a few times,

but in the last couple of months,

we have let you drift out of our lives.

Has it been really tough?

Not bad.

Actually, um, it's been pure shit.

But it could be worse.

How do you get through the day?

I work.

But I tend to, uh, lose track.

I get on the bus
and I forget where I'm going

and I watch the streets go by,

and I just hope to God

that one of them will
remind me what I'm there for.

Oh, it's not as bad as all that.

I've been trying to get out of my rut.

I am thinking

about, uh, going to Czechoslovakia.

Why?

Because I've never wanted
to go to Czechoslovakia.

[giggling] And it's something new,

and I'm trying very hard, you know,
to be less, uh, what, compulsive.

To be a little bit more spontaneous.

Last week, I bought a snake.

You bought a snake?

It felt kind of strange at first, but, uh,

once you get used to him, he's lovely.
He's lovely.

He's a nice pet.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

He's disgusting to start with,
because he eats mice alive.

You've really been through
the wringer, haven't you?

Uh, I'm all right. I really am all right.

In fact, in some ways,
I think I'm stronger than ever.

The only thing is that

every time I think about
going to Czechoslovakia,

I, uh... I start to cry.

Oh, God, oh!

I'll... I'll stop by for Lisa later.

And we're gonna
call you Monday for dinner, okay?

- Okay.
- Annie?

What?

Will you call me at the office?

Because I think I can
get an assignment for you.

I love you.

Do me a favor

and don't tell Nick about the snake,
all right?

No.

He thinks I'm crazy as it is.

I'll tell you what.

To hell with Nick.

Tell him, uh,
it's a goddamn boa constrictor.

I don't understand him.

How could he do that to her?

He's got a long history
of doing that to her.

He's been having affairs
with other women all along. Dozens!

Oh, you're kidding.

How could you not know?

They even slept at your apartment once.

Where was I?

You gave him your keys
so he could feed your cat

and water your plants
when you went away for the weekend.

Didn't you notice the funny look
on the cat's face

when you came home?

That son of a bitch.

He told you all this?

He told me some of it.

Some of it came out when he was under gas.

I don't know.

Jeez!

I've lost all my illusions about that guy.

Every time I think about him
I get angry and depressed.

I just can't believe that.

Ah, maybe it's this time of the year.

Always hated autumn.

Everybody says it's so beautiful,

but for me it's just...
Just meant a time of death.

I always get psoriasis in autumn.

Danny, believe me,
you're not gonna die from psoriasis.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm just trying to comfort you.
Don't get paranoid.

How come everyone thinks I'm paranoid?

You discuss this behind my back,
don't you?

Danny, relax, would you?

Come on, come on, I'm sorry.

If you could just realize
what a terrific person you are

you wouldn't think
everybody was out to get you.

Don't try to analyze me, okay?
First of all, I'm not your patient.

- Second of all, you're not a doctor.
- I'm just trying to help.

You're not helping,
you're patronizing me.

- So cut it out, okay?
- Okay.

Don't get so overwrought.

What can I do for you?

Well, first of all,
you can take your arm off my shoulder

and stick it up your ass.

[Nick] Look, sweetheart,
I know what you're going through.

My parents separated
when I was a kid, too.

I hated them for it.

I promised myself that when I grew up

I'd remember what it was like
and never do that to one of mine.

Trouble is, now I see it
from the other side.

But you've very mature for your age.
You're resilient.

This will pass, and in no time
you'll be singing and laughing.

Believe me, you're gonna be laughing.

[Nick sighs]

Look, your entire world
doesn't revolve around me.

You've got your own life to live.

You've made some friends
at your dorm, right?

Not really.

Most of the people I've met here
have a peculiar idea of a good time.

Like what?

They get drunk and piss off the balconies.

[laughing]

What about the girls?

I'm talking about the girls.

You're kidding me, right?

I'm kidding you?

You think it's a joke to have to walk home
on a clear night with an umbrella?

[birds chirping]

Haven't you got any friends here?

They don't interest me.

Oh, come on. There must be somebody.

Hey!

What about that kid from, uh, Ohio?

Yeah, Marilyn Oupenski.

- Yeah.
- She was great.

She's a lot like me. A lot like me.

Her parents made her go home.

Why?

She tried to swallow a bottle of pills.

Why didn't you tell me?

What for?

Lisa, if the one person
you identify with in this place

happens to swallow a bottle of pills,
don't you think I'd be mildly interested?

You keep making all these decisions
that affect my life without asking me.

That doesn't seem to bother you.

You know what this is?
This is emotional blackmail.

I'm trying to appeal to your sense
of intelligence and maturity,

you sit there like the Bride of
Frankenstein talking about suicide.

Come on, sweetheart.

You're not as morose
as all that and you know it.

You got a great big smile
down there somewhere

and you just won't let it out.

Come on, give in.

Let's have a nice big smile.

I know you got one in there.

I can see it sitting there,
dying to come out.

Here it comes.

I can see it curling up
at the corner of your mouth.

Come on, here it comes.

Here comes the smile.

Smile, God damn it!

All right, don't.

[Danny] I think you should
apologize to her.

For what?

I got excited, I spoke my mind,

I said I was sorry
and it's over and done with.

I don't understand
how you can hurt someone

as guileless and vulnerable as Ginny.

She sure took on
a lot of mystical qualities

once you saw her swimming naked.

How can you say that?

- I just say what I think.
- Uh-huh.

Well, maybe that's the problem.

Why do you always have to say
what you think?

You think your thoughts
should just fall down from your brain

onto your tongue like a gumball machine!

Danny, I am not gonna
start watching what I think

or what I feel! I am Italian!

I know you're Italian!

I don't wanna hear anymore
how you're Italian!

Wait. Wait, here.

Wait. Just wait, wait, wait.

Hello out there!
This woman is Italian!

All right!

You no longer have to announce
your ethnic origin in this state!

Everybody in Connecticut
knows you're Italian!

And when we cross the border,

I'll take out an ad in The New York Times.

[door slams shut]

[Nick] What's with him?

I don't know.

What's with you?

I'm sorry.
I just feel very let down by you.

Why? What have I done to you?

What is your idea of a close
intimate friendship?

What does that mean to you?

I don't understand.

I've hurt you in some way?

I happen to know you betrayed
your wife dozens of times.

If I did, that's what I did to her.
What did I do to you?

You didn't tell either of us.

Hey, wait a minute.

Let's take you one at a time.

You can understand
my not telling her, right?

I can't understand you
saying on the one hand

that you could tell me anything.

And on the other hand, not telling me
a goddamn thing except what suits you.

I feel as betrayed as she does.

Jack, all I've ever gotten from you
is judgment and disapproval.

You expect me to come and tell you

every time I've had an affair
with a hatcheck girl?

That's who you were having affairs with?
Hatcheck girls?

No!

They were all intelligent, worthy women.
The top people in their field.

I can't tell you all their names,

but two of them were
Margaret Thatcher and Indira Gandhi.

When you wanna talk intelligently,
I'll talk.

Otherwise, forget it.

- When did you get this?
- Couple of weeks ago.

Do you have any good friends here?

Mmm-hmm, I like this.

- Who are your friends?
- People.

Good.

What about Lisa?

Forget it.

When you were in high school,

you used to be on the phone
with her almost every night.

Not anymore.

What's the problem?

She's such a bitch sometimes!

She... She just gets... I don't know.

She says she'll meet me someplace
and she doesn't show up.

Sometimes she'll just sit there
for an hour without talking.

It's like she's trying to test me
and see how much shit I'll take.

- She probably is.
- I hate it!

Hey, babe, come here.

What if, uh...

What if you just accepted her
for what she is, huh?

I do.

Trouble is, what she is, is a bitch.

Oh.

When she acts like that, maybe you...

Maybe you could just laugh at her.

Like she was a character in a story.

- Mom, that's impossible.
- Why?

Because it is. Forget it.
Change the subject.

Okay.

What other friends do you have?

Oh, stop it! Be quiet!
Time to stop talking now!

I'm closing off your breath! Here we go!

[Beth] This is so good.

Mmm, I hope this is homemade.

Just look at all those calories.

- Do you want a bite?
- Oh, God, I got too much.

[Jack laughing] Thank you.

You are such a slob.

Okay. That's $23 from Nick,

$24.50 from Jack and $16 for me.

But let's split it three ways.

Then why tell us what everybody spent?

Because if there's
a discrepancy in anyone's share,

it will benefit everyone to know about it.

How can I know what my share was
unless I compulsively added up

my bill the whole time I was eating?

Oh, now I'm compulsive.

Ten minutes ago, I was paranoid.

[Nick] Give me the check, I'll pay it.

I'm sorry. I'm not a member of
the Million Dollar Roundtable.

You want the check? Here, you got it.

[Nick] Come on,
you're a successful dentist.

[Danny] That's right.

And this is a check-up and cleaning.

Takes me a long time to scrape, polish,
and poke in order to make this.

Hey, Danny, calm down.

Please don't tell me to calm down.

This is the second time today
somebody's told me to calm down.

I'm sorry, it's only my first.

If he wants to keep the books,
let him keep the books.

- I don't wanna keep the books.
- I'll pay the check.

- [Jack] Don't get upset.
- [Danny] I am not!

[Jack] Don't get upset.

I told you, I was not upset.

Here, you want the check, take it.

I don't want the check. And I'm not upset.

[Jack] Don't get him upset, will you?

I didn't get him upset! You got him upset.

[Danny] I told you, I'm not upset.

[Jack] This is ridiculous. Why do you...

[imperceptible]

[sighs]

[groaning]

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

It really took off a lot of skin.

What are you doing?

I've been out in the cold
all day and my skin is dry.

I wonder if they have any ice
down the hall.

Gee, I don't know. Why don't you go see?

Are you mad at me?

You got it.

You picked a hell of a time
to get irrational.

Oh, I'm not irrational.
Rational people get angry!

Irrational people pretend they don't.

Okay, just stop it right there!

I have a very bad temper!
Don't make me use it!

Use it.

I don't happen to think
there's anything wrong with anger.

I'm going to be very calm about this.

Why do you resent me?

Because when you fight, you get calm.

You don't like that?

It drives me nuts.

I also don't like
having to guess your every need

when you don't give a damn about mine.

I don't like that a lot!

What needs do you have
that I don't give a damn about?

Don't you ever feel
like going someplace alone with me?

You want to take a vacation without them?

I have this perverse desire
to be married to one person at a time.

I don't know, it excites me!

I thought... I thought you liked them.

I adore them,
but it's getting so I can't breathe!

Anne doesn't know
how lucky she is to be out!

You know,

Danny probably has his ear pressed

to that door listening
to everything you're saying.

Danny dear,

please don't be offended.
You know how fond I am of you,

but I think your Mercedes sucks.

You the one who organizes these trips.

And I hate it.

Doesn't it ever occur to you
that sometimes

I'd like to be the one with the sore knee?

No.

You handle everything like three
of the most efficient people I know!

Uh, nobody can do what you do.

My God, you're perfect.

How dare you call me that?

- How dare I call you perfect?
- Yes.

Yes, isn't that what I heard?

What's wrong with perfect?
How can you get upset about that?

Because when I'm perfect,
I cease to exist!

You... You don't have to hug me when...
When I'm low.

You don't have to cheer me up with
a bunch of $2 daffodils. Nothing!

I don't surprise you with daffodils?

You know I do. You know I do.

When you feel like it!

When it makes you feel good,
but not when I need them!

God damn it! I'm standing here bleeding!

Blood is running down my leg
and we're talking about daffodils!

Because I also resent you
for hurting yourself.

Oh, oh, oh.

And that's not irrational, huh?

You think I like to see you
so jealous of Nick

that you feel you have to tackle him?

You think that makes me feel good?

I think we should get
to the heart of this.

The heart of this

is that you wish you had some blonde nymph
adoring you like he does.

So go on! Go find one!

Christ, how long you going
to hang on to these fantasies?

The reality is you're married
to a middle-aged woman

with a good sense of humor and dry skin!

And if you don't like it,
then go find yourself a nymph.

Just do me the courtesy of telling me.

In other words,
and I mean this in the most loving way,

shit, or get off the pot!

Katherine, I'm sorry to say this.

What? Say it!

You're making me furious.

You're furious now?

I'm enraged.

How can you tell?
I can't see the difference!

Maybe you could learn
to stamp your foot as a signal.

Look, try this!

[screaming]

Will you shut up?

You know how that voice carries?

When you're mad at me, I expect to see it.
I don't want to have to read about it

two years from now in your goddamn diary!

You know how our good times together
come in waves?

Right now I would say
we were in a very deep trough.

[ice rattling]

Hi, guys.

How you doing?

Great.

God, is Nick sore.

Poor guy.

He just loves to be babied.

Think that's enough?

See you tomorrow. [kisses]

[Nick] Hurry up!

I'm coming! Bye.

Good night.

[imperceptible]

Jack! What do you say?

[Nick] Come on! Come on!

Oh, shit!

[machine whirring]

[indistinct chatter]

[doctor] Wait right out there.

- The doctor wants us to wait outside.
- [Ginny] He really amazes me.

You need some help or anything?

- We'll see you in five minutes.
- [Jack] Yeah, yeah, okay.

[Danny] You all right, babe?
I'll see you around.

What's this? Crutches!

[Claudia] Crutches are havoc.

What's that?

What?

That. The limping stuff? What is it?

I got a blister.

Excuse me.

Doctor?

[Nick] Ginny, I don't...

Could you look at his leg, too, please?

Sure. After we're finished here.
He can hop right up on the table.

There's nothing wrong with me!

You landed awful hard once. I saw you.

- Nick, I saw it, too.
- We saw it!

- Don't be brave.
- [Jack] I saw that, too.

[chuckles] All right. All right.

You want to take an X-ray
of my foot, go right ahead.

- Take my picture.
- Which one?

[Nick] I'll tell you what the funniest
sight in the world was.

It was you going on that jump.

You looked like a dying turkey.

[all chattering]

The arms and the legs started to go.
I thought I would die!

Listen, the thing to do is take the boat

from Southampton when you're traveling.

[Ginny] Oh, yeah?

And take...

It's climbing a quarter of a degree
an hour.

I'm not going out in that cold anymore.

That's exactly half of us
felled by disaster on our first day.

So what do you suppose we should do now?

How about if we talk?

Talk?

Ever since we saw the kids up at school,
we've been walking on eggs.

- I'm gonna get some coffee.
- What do you mean?

We have dinner, we talk about the kids,
we talk about the news,

but we... We don't really talk.

About what?

About us.

You're gonna jump all over me,
but I think we should clear the air.

[all] Oh, no!

Please, some of us
aren't feeling too well, do you mind?

[Claudia] Jack, come on.

I think we should sit down for a while
and hash this thing out.

I'd rather have my teeth drilled.

What do you want to open up
a big can of worms for?

Because I thought it was worth it.
Forget it.

[cheering]

All right!

Okay, that's it.

Did you see this?

I saw it.

Anne's got pictures in it.

Yeah.

She's making friends,
she's working, she's never been better.

And you'll notice,
these are pictures of people,

not kumquats.

I saw it.

Hey, guys,

why don't we have some fun?

You know that roadhouse,
about 15 miles from here?

[all] Yeah?

They're gotta have music tonight, right?

I mean, we can't all dance,

but we could sit
and have a beer, listen to the music.

Here we go. I'd like to get out of here.

- I think that's a swell idea.
- Mwah!

[Jack] I'm not against having a good time.

Let's have fun.

[Kate] Don't hurt yourself laughing.

When are you going to forgive me
for marrying Ginny, ever?

You can do anything you want.

Oh, thanks.

Where's the warmth
you're always talking about?

You're as cold as that frozen lake there.

I adore Ginny.
I have nothing but the deepest affection

for both of you.

But you won't forgive me?

Is this man crazy or what?

No, he's not crazy.

You want us to level with one another?

The truth is we're all mad at you.

We love Ginny, but we're upset
because Anne isn't here.

Maybe they're mad at you, but I'm not.

Well, good.

As long as we're all honest and open.

Is this the fun part?
Are we having fun yet?

[Claudia laughing]

[Jack] Ow!

Damn it!

[band playing]

[indistinct chatter]

What can I get you folks?

Beer for me.

[Nick] Beer and a J&B
on the rocks, too.

[Danny] Great band.

You know, I always wondered what happened
to the old Glenn Miller arrangement.

[all laughing]

So you don't think I'm honest, huh?

Okay, Jack, forget it.
I'm sorry I said it.

No, come on, say what you think.

- Do you really want me to?
- Yeah.

Well, I think sometimes
you are a little cold.

There's a little part of you always, uh,

that hangs back and judges.

You always want to get
to the bottom of things,

but only so long
as you can make the rules.

Mmm-hmm. I see.

That's all right, it's human.

Okay, fine, I'm human.
I don't mind being human.

As long as we realize you're human, too.

Yeah, I'm human.

As long as we realize that

it's also human to be
the world's foremost authority

on everything
from who ordered the roast beef at lunch

to the nervous system of the newt.

To be so completely obsessed
with your own body

that you take
your temperature at the dinner table!

Look, I think maybe
you better just cool it.

It's all right, don't worry.

You're going a little too far.

[Jack] No, let's get it out now.

Let me tell you something, Jack.

- I'm 10 years older than you, right?
- Yeah.

All right, I just hope
that when you get to be my age,

you don't smell the foul breath
of death and disintegration

hanging over your shoulder
the way I find it hanging over mine.

I mean, I go to sleep at night
on an ache so bad

that it simply will not go away.

I wake up in the middle
of the night sweating,

hearing my own bones decaying.

I have shifted into a state of entropy
that's progressing geometrically.

You see, "entropy,"

"progressing geometrically."

You... You talk like a bad textbook.

Why don't you just speak English?

God damn it! I just told you
my deepest fear!

Why can't you listen to what I'm saying
instead of how I'm saying it?

I mean, do you have any idea, any idea,

what it is to be afraid of death?

I can't eat my bowl of cereal anymore,

because I have
an irrational fear of milk.

I stand there in hallways...

I stand there in hallways
afraid to press strange elevator buttons.

I almost threw away my jockey shorts
because I have this fear of elastic.

[laughing]

Don't laugh at him.

Go on, go on. What?

Laugh, good. I'm a fool, right?

- [laughing] No, Danny.
- I'm a collection of eccentricities.

You think because I'm quirky,
I don't hurt?

- No.
- Well, you have it wrong.

I'm quirky because I hurt.

Oh, Danny, I'm sorry.

- All right.
- I'm sorry.

Come on.

Are you really afraid of your underwear?

[laughing]

[laughing]

I'm dying, she's laughing.

We're not laughing, Danny. Honest.

We are.

Forget it. Forget it.
Let's listen to the music.

No, it's all right. Forget it

[Ginny] Okay, come on.
Danny, let's dance.

Come on.

No, thanks. No. I don't want to dance.

Danny!

- Dance.
- Come on.

Go ahead, dance. Go on, dance.

[laughing]

[Kate] Go boogie.

I'm having one hell of a time.

[all laughing]

[Claudia] All right!

[all singing] ♪ In the night ♪

[all humming]

♪ Strangers in the night ♪

[singing incoherently]

[all humming]

[laughter]

Fire.

I'm dying for some coffee.

Oh, get us some coffee.

Coffee! Hello!

- Anybody home?
- [honking]

- You want some coffee?
- Coffee!

Hey, come on,
give us a little smile. Come on.

- Coffee!
- That's nice.

[honking]

Hey, you trying to get us thrown out?

There's nobody here.

I bet we're the only people
in this building.

Throw me the newspaper.

[Jack] Want some coffee?

Who wants coffee? You want coffee?

Danny wants coffee.

[laughing]

Danny needs some coffee.

[scatting]

[screaming]

[Ginny] What? What?

[laughing]

Oh, God.

[laughing]

I think Danny's upset.

Oh, he'll be all right.

We've been joking around all night
and he hasn't joined in.

I think he's hurt.
I think maybe we owe him an apology.

- What, because I laughed at him?
- [water running]

Well, yeah.

Look, Ginny,

when people have been friends
as long as we have,

it's not such a terrible thing
to kid somebody out of a depression.

So don't get upset
about what you don't understand.

I've just about had it with you people.

[Nick] What's the matter?

I'll tell you what's the matter. I'm mad.

[Nick] Ginny?

I fall in love with this man,

and all of a sudden, in addition to him,
I've got four constant companions!

I have to work out a new relationship
with somebody who is going through

the worst period of his life,
only I can't do it alone,

I've got to do it in front
of four other people!

And it's not as if my privacy was invaded,

you all have let me know every single day

that I have been intruding
on your territory!

Let me tell you something.
As far as I'm concerned,

you're all demanding and unforgiving,
every single one of you.

Everybody is sweet and warm and simple,

but everybody ignores me.

I'm like a leper.

I'm... I'm a blank spot
where Annie used to be.

I'm going to go take a run in the snow.

[door slams]

I hope she'll be all right out there.

[clicks tongue] Wish I hadn't said that.

What happened?

[Nick] Ginny! Ginny!

I'm going after her!

Nick!

You got a broken ankle.

She might fall down in the dark.

So what? She fell down
in the daylight, she didn't hurt herself.

In the dark,
she might hurt herself.

Nick, she'll be all right.
Rest your foot.

[Nick] I'm not gonna run the risk
of her falling down out there.

- [Danny] Why not?
- Because she's pregnant.

Because she's pregnant?

Watch this.

Here's some real heartwarming acceptance.

You're 43 years old,
you're going to start having babies?

I don't believe this.

I have to check everything with you?

As a matter of fact,
I told you I wanted to start a new family.

With babies?

With what? Airedales?

Look, do what you want.

Oh, thanks very much.
I really appreciate that.

Hey, fellas, come on back inside.

It's freezing out here.

Come on, you can't go after her like that.

- Come on.
- Come on.

Nick, please! Come on.

[Nick] It's starting to get light out.
Where the hell is she?

[sighing]

You know,

when she ran out of here,
I started to think of

all the friends we've had over the years
who've jogged out of our lives.

All the ones who've, uh,

who've been inconvenient
to stay friendly with and it scares me.

They move to another state
or they've gotten a divorce,

or else we've just gotten
friendly enough with them

to realize they're kind of
a pain in the ass

and pretty soon
we never see them again.

I'll tell you something, Jack.

I don't want to be one of two people

alone in the world
at the end of my life.

I want to have friends.

When I get old,

I'd like you all to still be there.

Okay?

Why can't we just let them be?

In other words, I'm the problem?

I have to have everything my way.

I'm unforgiving and cold
and judgmental, right?

Right.

Right.

We're talking about me?

Jack, you know those probing questions
you ask all the time?

You're the only one who ever answers them.
Everybody dances to your tune!

That makes me sound like a tyrant.

Well, so what?

I am not a tyrant, God damn it!

No matter what kind of crap I get from
people, all I ever give back is a smile.

I never give a response that's anything
but fair and rational and cheerful!

Be careful! Be careful!

Why don't you
let your anger out once in a while?

You want anger? There! How's that?

Is that angry enough for you? Here.

How about that?

[clattering]

Is that angry enough for you?
Now is that angry enough?

Here, how about this?

What the hell are you doing?

You know what I expect from you.

I expect closeness

and warmth and unconditional acceptance.

And all I get from you is secretiveness
and neurosis and a lot of...

- God damn it!
- Jesus Christ!

Put it down!

I'm not paying for this!
This is your expense!

Yeah, bet your life!

- All right, stop that!
- Is that angry enough for you, huh?

[Nick] Stop that! All right, stop it!

[Danny] Stop it! That's enough!
That's all, stop it!

Come on! Settle down!

[all screaming]

Come here. Sit down.

Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh.

[breathing heavily]

I wonder what other people do
on their vacations?

Oh, God, I'm sorry.

Jesus, look what I did.

So you freaked out a little.

So what?

I lost complete control of myself.

Jack, nobody cares.

- Hey.
- What?

You're not the best little boy
in the world.

I hate to break this to you, but you're
not the worst little boy, either.

You know,
sometimes when you say things like that,

I really hate you.

[snickering] Thank you.

You know, sometimes I hate you.

[sniffling]

Nick, what are you doing?

I'm gonna go find her.

Wait a minute. You stay.

I'll go find her.

[Nick] No, I can do it.

Nick, look, please. I want to.

Let me go, please.

Thanks, but I can do it.

No, I'll do it.

No, I'll do it!

You sit down and wait for me.

- I'll be back!
- Don't do me any favors.

- Get out of my way.
- Where you gonna go on that foot?

Jack! Don't be ridiculous!

- He's got a broken ankle!
- And you've got a torn ligament.

You guys wouldn't get ten feet
in that snow.

I can get farther than he can.

I can get farther than both of you.

What do you guys think
a pregnant woman is? An invalid?

I'll be back in two minutes.

You better start fixing up this place.

That moose is going to cost a fortune.

[Danny] Ginny! Don't move,
I'll be right there!

Stay right there!

[ice cracking]

Oh!

[screaming]

Hey, wait! Help me!

Help me!

Run to the lodge! Go get help!

I can't get out!

Run! Go faster, faster!

Help! Help!

[Nick] Are you all right?

[indistinct talking]

[Ginny] Danny went through the ice
and he can't get out!

[all clamoring]

- [Nick] Jack!
- [Claudia] Please help.

Hurry up!

[Danny] Help! Help!

Quick!

[all clamoring]

[Kate] Jack, don't go too far out!

[Jack] Okay. Danny!

Lift up your arms!

This side.

Wait a minute.

Ready here!

[Jack] Get your arm around that!
Get it under your elbow!

Damn it, lift your arm up!

- [Claudia] Danny, get it around!
- Hold onto the rope.

[Ginny] I got the blanket.

[Jack] Okay, go!

[Nick] Back it up.

Okay, go back. Go ahead.

Go back slowly.

Easy! Easy! Easy!

- Pull the rope!
- [Jack] Easy.

[Ginny] That's it, Danny.

[Nick] Go on, keep going!

- Keep going!
- [mouthing]

All right, hold it!

Danny!

Danny!

Danny? How is he?

- Danny!
- [Ginny] Don't say that!

- [Kate] Danny?
- Danny?

Danny?

Breathe, honey!

[Jack] Little more! Rub... Rub his legs.

- Come on. Come on, sweetheart.
- Danny!

[retching]

[Nick] Thank God!

Danny, are you all right?

- [Claudia] Are you all right, honey?
- Yeah.

[Nick] You almost drowned.

- Yeah.
- Keep covered up.

Thanks, I'm okay. I'm okay. Thank you.

I almost died, and thank you.

[Nick] Get him up!

[ice cracking]

[screaming]

Oh, my God! My Mercedes!

[Danny screaming]

[water bubbling]

How could you drive
my Mercedes on thin ice?

[Claudia] Oh!

[Nick] Danny, come on, get up.

[Ginny] Come on.

Oh, God!

[Jack] Get off the blanket.

It was brand new!

In three years, I could have
gotten twice what I paid for it!

Danny, Danny, we'll get
someone to fish it out for you.

What the hell am I going to do
with a rusty Mercedes?

It's gone!

It's gone.

It sank like a stone.

[Claudia] Danny!

You are alive. You have your life.

You have us and we love you,
so shut up!

[Nick] Come on, Dan.

Get inside.
You're going to freeze to death.

Get into the lodge and get warm.

Sorry. I just got a little crazy.

I'm sorry. What do I care about the car.
It's you I care about.

[Nick] Let's go! Come on!

[Danny] To hell with the car.
You, you, thank you.

Oh, my God, you sank my car!

Get back.
Get back to the lodge and shut up!

It's all right, I'm okay.
To hell with the car.

It's you I love.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

[Claudia] Come on, darling.

Why'd you have to take it on the ice?

[Nick] Will you shut up!

We just saved your goddamn life!

[Ginny] What were you trying to
rescue me for, anyway?

I was fine!

[Kate] I'm sick of this macho bullshit!

[Claudia] No more stunts, okay?

[Jack] Okay, yeah.

[Claudia] You guys really piss me off,
you know that?

[Nick] Yeah, we heard you.

[Danny] It's gone.
I'll never see it again.

[Claudia] Oh, please, Danny.

[Kate] I say we come back here
next winter.

[Jack] Will you listen
to me. Follow this...
