Original subtitles

Do you ever do it in the water before?

Not like this.

Are you sure no one's home?

Don't you worry your pretty little head about that.

Do I look worried?

You look horny.

You feel horny?

Anything for you, Montana.

Let's get out of here and go someplace more quiet.

No, it's okay. I've been waiting for you.

Jeff?

Honey, I'm really beat.

Would it be alright if I just went to sleep?

Morning, dear.

Hi, sweetheart. I poured you some coffee.

Thanks. You're welcome.

You got home so late last night, we didn't get a chance to talk.

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry.

Things at work are really crazy right now.

In fact, I should be there already.

Jeff, we barely spoke in the last few weeks. You want to rush back to the

office right now?

Yeah.

Well, I suppose I could wait a few more days.

Certainly wouldn't make much of a difference at this point.

Thanks, honey.

Morning, Linda.

Morning, Josh.

Lots of classes today, Josh?

I guess.

You guess? You don't know how many classes you have?

No, it means I don't really want to talk about it.

Why? Are you having trouble in school?

I can help you out, you know. Law school was a breeze for me. Dad, I don't want

your help.

I don't even want to be a lawyer.

Yeah, well, at least we decided you'd give it a try.

No, you decided I would try it.

Law school would pay rent, remember?

What kind of choice is that?

I gotta go.

Why are you so hard on Josh?

And so easy on Montana?

Because Josh needs it, that's why. I mean, he should be grateful for an

opportunity like this. So you blackmail him into law school?

Linda, please.

Not this morning. I've had enough for one minute.

I gotta go.

Have fun last night?

Yeah, it was okay to end up butted in.

But I certainly know how to make the best out of a tense situation.

Why are you always trying to bait her?

What's it to you?

Nothing, except you bore the shit out of me.

Because she deserves it, that's why.

Loser.

I love you.

You've made me the happiest man in the world.

Hi, Linda.

I'm sorry, do I know you?

I'm Elkie. Elkie Taylor, Kelly's sister.

Oh, my God.

Elkie, how long has it been?

You must have been 15 years old the last time I saw you.

You've certainly grown up.

Kelly told me where you were. I was traveling cross-country. Thought I'd

stop in and say hi.

Hi. Hi.

Sometimes life takes people in different directions.

She really misses you.

I miss her, too.

Those were really good times.

Linda?

Hmm? I know we haven't seen each other in a long time.

And you're my sister's friend and all.

And you probably thought I was some geeky little kid always tagging along.

Nonsense. Don't be silly.

The truth is, I'm broke.

I got robbed in Vegas.

How horrible.

Thank God you weren't hurt.

I'm really lucky.

Kelly told me if I ever need any help, I could count on you.

Absolutely. How much do you need?

Actually, I just need a safe place to stay. That's how I can get things sorted

out.

Well, um, there is room in the guest house.

Really? That'd be great.

Thanks. I promise not to get in the way or anything.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Linda, this is beautiful.

Thank you.

You know, I wasn't really expecting visitors, so I haven't had a chance to

get any towels. We'll get you some from the main house.

Okay.

Eventually you'll meet everybody.

That is when they decide to show up.

My husband Jeff is an attorney, so he works really long hours.

He has two children, a son and a daughter.

Josh is a great kid. He's 20. He's pre-law at UCLA.

He's got finals the week before Christmas break, so you probably won't

see much of him.

Then there's Montana.

She's 18.

We seem to be acting out the classic wicked stepmother scenario these days.

She was supposed to go away to junior college in the fall, but decided to take

a year off to, quote, figure things out.

I've been there before.

Your family sounds really nice.

Yeah, well, they'll all be up at dinner at the house if you want to come up

later.

I think I'll unpack and relax, if you don't mind.

Oh, no. I understand completely. Whatever you want to do.

Thanks again, Linda. You're a saint.

Yeah, that's me. Saint Linda.

You should ask Montana about that.

Maybe we could call Kelly later. Get in touch with your old life.

Yeah, actually, I think I'd like that.

You get some rest.

I gotta go do something with my hair.

Jeff likes it better curled.

Did you get this at China Palace?

Yeah. Do you like that? No, it's perfect.

Hi,

you're just in time.

Well, this is some fine home cooking, Linda.

Where's Dad?

Working.

What's with the Jeep?

It's Elkie's.

What's an Elkie?

She's a guest, a friend from back home.

I didn't know you had any friends.

You want to check it for a while, Montana?

You don't have to be a bitch all the time.

So, where is she?

Since it seems to matter so much to you, she's napping in the guest house.

Does Dad know that you have invited a complete stranger to stay here?

Actually, Montana, this is a decision I made entirely on my own.

Can we eat in peace, please?

Why don't you butt- out and go back to your books, okay?

Speak of the devil.

Hi, what's with the jeep?

Linda has a guest staying over.

Some stud named Hans.

You know, I saw her sneaking out of the guest house, Dad. You might want to

check it out.

Don't be rude, Montana.

I'm not in the mood.

Elkie is a friend from back home. She needed a place to stay. I offered her

the guest house.

Well, that certainly was generous of you, honey.

Jeff, may we please discuss this in private later?

Didn't we just have Chinese food a night ago?

Yeah, but Linda was so busy entertaining today that she simply didn't have the

time to cook.

How dare you?

Don't speak to me that way.

Montana, what is wrong with you?

Nothing. Nothing is wrong with me. I just happen to be sick of Chinese food,

too. You apologize to her right now.

All right, then, Montana.

From now on, you can do the cooking.

See how easy it is when no one wants what you've prepared.

That is, if they even bother to show up at all.

You are so spoiled, it sickens me.

You are just a second wife, Linda.

A second-rate wife.

Montana.

Your cooking's second rate.

Your body's second rate. Stop it.

My father doesn't even want to come home anymore because of you.

I can't imagine that there's anything left to say.

Linda, what are you doing?

I'm leaving.

Please, be reasonable.

It was just a fight. Montana didn't even mean it.

That's bullshit, Jeff.

You're never here. You have no idea what it's like.

Your daughter treats me like a maid.

You know what? She treats Maria better. She treats me like a slave.

Montana's just going through a phase.

I mean, it hasn't been that easy on her either since her mother left.

What the fuck would you know about it anyway?

You're never here. How could you possibly know what it's like around

here? This is not the life we were supposed to have. Honey, I know this is

going to sound really bad, but I have to get back to work.

Can you just wait until I get back and we can work this out?

Just go!

I swear I'll be right back.

Who are you?

Oh, I'm Elkie. I just came to get some towels.

Well, next time not.

Linda, are you okay?

I heard you fighting. Are you really going to leave?

Yes.

No.

I don't know.

I don't know what to do about anything anymore.

It's easy to run when things get bad, Linda.

But it doesn't always make things better, just easier.

It's not as spur-of-the-moment as it probably seems, Elkie. Things have been

bad around here for a long time.

Sometimes couples go through phases, up and down.

If you work at it a little, you can make things better, faster.

Isn't that what you want?

I used to think it was what I wanted, but I don't even know if this is worth

saving anymore.

Usually people end up regretting decisions they make through anger.

At least think it through with a calm head.

Thank you, Aki. You've been a good friend.

We'll try.

I'll stay. You'll be my friend. We'll try.

Are we still going to Big Bear? Of course.

I hear there's tons of good-looking guys up there.

Well, I didn't really picture Big Bear to be a pickup spot. I mean, it's a

place where we can go and get away and relax.

Come on, Laura. Loosen up a little bit.

Where are you going?

Billy's here.

But your parents are home.

Parent.

Singular. And he's not even here.

Come on, a little... Actually never hurt anyone?

You're incredible, you know that?

I thought we had plans tonight, Montana.

I'm sorry.

I forgot to tell you.

Can we do something tomorrow instead?

Whatever. Don't let me get in the way of your fun.

Thank you.

I gotta go change.

Come in.

Montana dumped me.

What are you doing?

Watching one of the classics.

Wow, you're really into movies, aren't you?

It's films, yeah.

Can you not touch that, please?

Okay, okay.

I wasn't gonna break it or anything.

Yeah, but you don't know how to use it.

So why don't you show me?

Because, um, you know, I'm studying this.

Okay.

Sorry.

I like it here.

I like you.

What do you say?

Where did you learn to talk like that?

Will you teach me how to talk like that?

How do you say shut up in French?

Morning.

How are you?

Hungover. How are you?

I had this incredible dream and you were in it.

We were wearing these white flowing gowns and we were flying.

We were scared because we weren't really that good at it.

We were holding hands, helping each other, and laughing.

I wish I could remember how to laugh.

Hey, Linda.

Let me help you that's okay

Sorry about last night, honey.

You were asleep when I got home.

I don't want to talk right now, honey. We have a guest here.

Okay, this is my husband, Jeff. I think we met him briefly the other night.

It's a pleasure.

I gotta go.

What time are the Kelloggs coming tonight?

7.30. You can come, too, if you're not too busy.

I'll be there, Linda. You can cut the sarcasm.

The Kelloggs are coming for dinner this evening.

Ron and Nancy, Laura's parents.

God, I hope they come up for this.

Yes, you are. Relax.

I'll plan an easy menu, and we can cook dinner together.

I gotta earn my keep somehow.

Elkie, this looks fantastic.

Thank you.

What's this, Girl Scouts?

You must be Montana.

I must be.

And you must stay out of my way.

I'm sorry if I've done something. Yeah, well, don't lose any sleep over it.

Looks like you really need your beauty rest.

Can it, Montana.

Laura, your parents will be here around 7.30.

Great.

Thanks, Linda.

She's interesting.

Interesting, yeah.

I'm so well behaved.

But I will not allow her to ruin my evening again tonight.

Chocolate decadence, anyone?

No, thanks. I'm way too full.

It's homemade.

Well, I'll have some, then.

Ron, you flatter me.

I'll have a piece, too, Elkie.

Yes, so will I.

Anyone else? Montana?

Jeff?

No, thanks. Shit'll rot your insides.

Montana?

You know, on second thought, I will have a piece.

I could use a little decadence in my life right now.

Feels good to be a little decadent, doesn't it?

This looks sinful.

Well, maybe just a bite.

Don't hurt my feelings.

It's wonderful.

Elkie, this is the best cake I've ever had.

I'm done. Can we go?

I, for one, have had enough.

Thank you.

Would anyone like more coffee?

No, thanks, Elkie.

Okay. I'll be in the kitchen if anyone needs me.

Hey, one of these days I'm going to get you on our boat, Linda.

You've been threatening that for years, Ron.

What can I say? I'm just a landlubber.

Well, there's nothing like being way out in the middle of nowhere to give you

time to think.

Sounds awful.

No, no, Jeff.

I'll make a sailor out of you yet.

Not unless you can get him out of that office, you won't.

Thanks for dinner, Linda.

It was wonderful.

Thank Elkie. She did it all. She can do anything.

Yes, she certainly can.

Hi, you missed dinner.

Yeah.

I caught a film up at the New Art.

It just wasn't into another night of fighting with my family.

I know what you mean.

Are you hungry?

There's plenty of leftovers.

I could keep you company.

Um... Yeah, I gotta... I gotta do some stuff up in my room, if you don't mind.

No, not at all, Josh.

Good night.

Night.

Josh, hi.

What are you doing in here?

Hiding.

Waiting for Montana. She's supposed to give me a ride home, but she's

disappeared.

How was dinner?

Okay, I feel like watching my parents fight all night.

Actually, I thought that was my parents.

Hey,

have you ever been to the New Art?

Now I've never been there.

You ought to check it out sometime.

I gotta go.

I'm sure Montana will turn up.

Places in the world.

Do you have to pull around in your mother's car?

I told you.

She's not my mother.

I find this extremely exciting.

Don't you?

Why does she get caught?

She'd really get pissed.

Oh, shit.

I'm sorry. I heard a noise.

I see you have everything under control.

Come in.

I suppose you're going to tell my father.

I'm not here to tell on you.

But you don't approve.

It's your body. You can do whatever you want with it.

I didn't come here for a lecture.

You're free to go.

Those guys care about me, you know.

Is that what you think?

Well, they pay attention to me.

Montana, it's easy to sleep with someone.

But caring about them is completely different.

What would you know?

Look, all I know is the men I've loved and the men who have loved me.

Sex was only a part of it. A good part.

But there's so much more.

Yeah.

Well, I gotta go.

Thanks for not telling.

You're welcome.

I'm here if you ever wanna talk.

Maybe.

Thank you.

I hope you remembered to close the garage.

Linda, what are you doing in the dark like a mushroom?

Waiting for you to feed me more shit.

You're drunk.

I'm going to bed.

Wait,

wait, wait.

I wanted you to be the first to know that I'm leaving.

What are you talking about?

Isn't that what you wanted, Montana?

Just like a little fairy princess, you finally got your wish.

Good. And here I thought you'd never go.

Better for you, and certainly better for me.

From now on, you can fuck all over this goddamn house.

Elkie? Elkie, it's Linda.

Open the door.

No, Elkie, I just wanted you to know that this isn't going to work out. I'm

leaving.

Come inside.

I don't want to do this anymore.

I gave up so much for this marriage.

Chance to have kids.

Jeff was really clear about not wanting it anymore.

There's nothing to keep me here.

Linda, you're going to have to fight for your happiness.

Some people hit a low before things get better.

This must be it then.

I can't imagine things getting worse.

Linda, you've been holed up in this house for months now.

When was the last time you got outside to have some fun?

I can't even remember.

I spend all day waiting for my husband to come home.

You're a beautiful, capable, intelligent young woman.

You deserve to have some fun.

I don't even know who that person is anymore.

We can find her, Linda.

Give me a chance.

Give yourself a chance.

What do you have in mind?

Elkie, I love my husband.

I don't know what to do.

I think Jeff loves you too.

He's just lost sight of what's important.

Maybe I'll go up to my parents' house and try to sort this out.

Would you stay and run the house while I'm gone?

Sure.

Sometimes people don't know what they've got until it's gone.

Hey.

She's gone, Jeff.

I know, Elkie. I can read.

She's gone to her mother's.

This is a nightmare.

She needed some time away to think.

Why couldn't she just talk to me?

She was afraid you wouldn't listen.

Where's Montana?

Laura? Hey, are you ready to go? Is Billy going?

No, it's just us girls.

Just the two of us.

Are you serious?

Yes, I'm serious.

Okay, I'm leaving in ten minutes.

Okay, I'll see you soon. Hurry.

Oh, come in.

What did you do?

What are you talking about?

Linda's gone.

What did you say to her?

I wake up and my wife is gone.

Montana, you've been mean to her ever since the day I married her.

She is my wife and she deserves some respect from you.

I am your daughter and I deserve some respect too.

I'm going to call her.

And you are going to get on the phone, young lady, and you're going to

apologize to her.

No, I'm not.

I'm glad she's gone.

Fine. If you don't like it, you can go live with your mother.

Oh, you'd do that, wouldn't you?

Just send me off to live with my mother.

I knew you wanted to get rid of me so you could spend all your precious time

with Linda.

Well, you've certainly fixed that in Montana, haven't you?

Whatever.

Please, can't I just talk to her for a moment?

Well, ask her, how are we supposed to work things out if she won't even talk

to me?

Okay.

Okay, I'll give her a few days.

Please, tell her that I love her, would you?

Linda tells me you're a talented filmmaker.

Yeah, I fool around.

Josh, I thought I should tell you Linda left.

I can't say that I blame her. Things around here pretty much suck these days.

Is she coming back?

I don't know.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

You're not really going to law school, are you?

You saw my books that day in the kitchen.

Yeah, my father thinks I'm in the law school.

I transferred into the film school last semester.

Funny thing is, he didn't even notice.

You're gonna have to tell him sometime.

Yeah, he's gonna freak.

Josh, if it's something you're passionate about, then it's worth the

risk. I love my filmmaking.

It's all I ever think about.

Do you ever do anything with people?

Not really.

You know what I'd like to do?

I'd like to pose for you. I could do some modeling.

You could do a montage, like a music video or something.

See, I'm not really ready to... Josh, if you're going to make films, you've got

to relate to people. It's as simple as that.

Come on.

I won't bite your head off, I promise.

Self-sensual.

Self-sensual.

The night is brilliant The stars are there To see

your eyes And touch your hair This lonely

feeling Inside of me I sometimes

think How we used to be So much to

tell you I'm so insane you drive

oh so

Hey, Montana. Ready for a big mountain adventure?

I'd hardly call Big Bear an adventure.

You know what? I just have to get one more thing. Hold on.

Hey,

Josh. Going somewhere?

Santa Barbara Film Festival.

Listen, can I ask you something?

Sure. I had this idea for a little film shoot. It's a real visual piece.

I'd like you to be the model.

Really? I just finished my first one. Turned out great.

I'd like to do one to hand into my class now.

Will you do it?

Okay. Sounds like fun.

Excuse me, please.

Bye,

Josh.

Bye.

You want to do one what to hand into what class?

Just a film class I'm taking, Dad. It's no big deal.

How is it that a law student has so much time for film festivals and movie

making? Dad, this is my life, not yours.

I want to study film.

Not on my tuition money.

Fine, then I'm dropping out. Oh, that's great. That'll solve everything.

At least I won't be a slave to you and your damn tuition money.

Who are you?

What do you mean?

I'm nobody.

You know, my life was just fine until you showed up.

Now everything's turned to shit.

You've been filling everyone's heads with delusions ever since you got here.

You're angry.

You're looking for someone to blame.

You're damn right I'm angry.

My wife is gone, my son is dropping out of school, and my daughter... My

daughter is developing a nice little reputation as the town slut.

And it's all because of you.

Some stranger I didn't even want here in the first place.

Things weren't perfect before I got here, Jeff.

No.

And this would have happened with or without me around.

Just a matter of time.

All I did was listen to them.

Well, and what is that supposed to mean? That I don't?

Listen to me. They're my family, not yours.

I don't even know who you are.

But I want you out of here.

Gone. By tomorrow.

And you can take your good advice with you.

Silver waves come tumbling down and crash on silent shores

I stand here staring at a man who

wants you more My world's so empty without

you No one else can

fill my heart

I just won't be here without you.

I am deaf. I've lost my sight. My steps have lost their

stride.

I just won't be here.

Each day that passes only helps the few who buy.

Tossed and turned, my heart's been burned of all but one desire.

I just want to be here.

My dreams to

live again.

And when you see me smile to hide the pain,

I just won't be there without you.

Well, I'm ready to leave.

Oh.

Take care, Jeff. I hope everything works out for you.

Don't go.

But you told me to.

I don't want to be alone.

I don't remember the last time we had a visitor.

Guess I didn't want anyone to penetrate my little fortress.

Well, you did.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude.

I was just looking for a safe place to stay.

Well, I guess you picked the wrong house.

Let me make it up to you.

Let's go someplace to have some fun.

Some place you haven't been for a long time.

Oh, that'll be easy.

The only place I've been lately is my office.

Well, the office is off limits today.

I don't know.

What have you got to lose?

Nothing.

It's settled then.

Elky, I... Don't say anything.

Let me take care of you.

Let me take you home.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Elkie.

Jeff, it's okay.

We had a good time.

That's all it has to be.

You're a wonderful man.

It was so easy to fool myself into thinking everything was okay.

My family has some serious problems.

I wanted to be happy.

Then you're going to have to work at it.

I know.

I'm kind of scared.

I lost sight so easily.

But now you're aware of it. And you won't let it happen again.

You make everything sound so easy.

The hardest part is deciding to change.

You've already done that.

Now... It just takes time and patience.

Who are you?

I'm Elkie.

Well, Miss Elkie, we are having a Christmas party.

And it would be my great pleasure with you in attendance.

Well, it would be my great pleasure to attend.

That's what I like. A woman with all the perfect answers.

Hey, I'm hungry.

Me too.

Dad?

Dad?

It's Monday. I thought you'd be at work.

Sit down, son.

You're not even in law school, are you, Josh?

No.

Why didn't you tell me?

Every time we talk about school we have a fight.

It was easier this way.

Didn't you think I had a right to know? No.

Yes.

I want... I want to be a filmmaker.

I want to give it a shot.

I know it's expensive, and I know I need your support.

Look, I want you to have your shot.

I guess I was just...

Hoping you'd follow in my footsteps.

I'm making my own footsteps.

I know.

I know, and I'm proud of you for that.

You are?

Yes, I am.

Go to film school.

Become a famous director.

That'll show your old man.

Are you serious?

Very.

Josh, you have my blessing.

Follow your dream.

Thanks, Dad.

You're welcome.

Guess I better go deal with this.

Where you been? I've been calling you all weekend.

I was away.

Missed you, baby.

That's nice.

Come on.

Let's go to the beach.

For what?

What do you think?

I had a really long weekend, Eddie. I'm tired.

Why don't you call me sometime?

Ask me on a date.

I don't know. Take me somewhere nice for a change.

What for?

What do you think?

Don't be a tease, Montana.

I know what you like.

Let go of me. You're hurting my arm. What's wrong? You like it rough.

You're a bitch.

Remember that once a slut, always a slut. Get the fuck off!

Or I'll make you sorrier than you already are.

Doesn't feel so good, does it? Enough, okay?

It's okay, it's over.

Sorry I treated you like that.

I guess I messed up pretty bad, haven't I?

So have I.

We've got some things to work out.

All of us.

Things are going to have to change around here.

We can start by listening to each other.

I never meant to hurt anyone.

It's just that I'm so mad all the time, I can't help it. Hey, hey, I don't want

you to be angry. I want you to be happy.

You deserve to be happy.

Starting now.

I want to be there for you.

You mean that?

Anytime you want.

Well, what if Linda comes back?

You're going to have to have a little faith.

Learn to accept things the way they are.

Hey, hey.

I'm learning, too.

By the way, how long have you had that navel thing?

Oh, about a year now.

That's nice.

Come on in.

Wow, Josh, it looks really great.

She's really pretty.

Yeah, she is.

You're just as pretty, though.

You never said anything to me like that before.

I thought you didn't like me.

Oh, no.

I like you. I just have really bad social skills.

They're not as bad as you think.

Come on, let's go fool around.

Josh!

Not like that.

To get the message.

When I make my mind up, I follow through.

I'm wanting you.

I'm possessing.

Not prevent to share someone else with you.

You're my fantasy.

Everything I've ever dreamed of.

You're the only one makes me feel so good.

I'm in ecstasy, any time that I am near. Put in temper my desire,

if I could.

Day or night, will you hold me tight?

Be it wrong or right, love is like dynamite.

I can't fight, feel that feels so right.

It's my fault, ignite, love is like dynamite.

My heart's on fire Fill me up while I lose control

Not ashamed of my desire

You're like a nuclear reaction for my soul, yeah If you

turn me loose I will be your one obsession Making sure that your every

dream comes true No excuse It's a natural progression

Light me up and then let me bother you

Hi Dad, you want some food?

Sure. You're a little embarrassed there. I'm sorry, I don't think people

embarrass me. Thank you.

I gotta go.

Where?

To get my wife.

Jeff, what are you doing here?

I'm trying to get you back.

May I come in?

You've made a long trip for nothing.

I'm not coming back.

I've had some time to think.

So have I.

Will you sit with me?

Please, Linda, you've got to give me a chance.

I can't. Not if things are going to be the same.

Nothing's the same.

Nothing at all is the same.

Linda, I love you.

We have a life together.

I know it's not been everything you've ever wanted, but it can be.

Jeff, I want to believe you, but I'm so disappointed. I'm angry and I'm hurt.

I know you are.

God, I'm so sorry, Linda.

I never meant to hurt you, ever.

I love you, Jeff. That's all I know.

But I deserved better.

I know.

I'm sorry.

I want to make you happy.

I want to give you everything you want.

I don't want things.

I want my husband back.

And that means you have to change.

Please, baby, come home with me.

I can't make it all up to you in one conversation. Let me show you.

You'd be so surprised at how much has already changed.

Please.

I

love

you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you too, baby.

You mean everything to me.

I'll never forget that.

Thank you.

Montana, don't you know how to knock?

Sorry.

Come in.

I guess you know how to knock.

I'm sorry I said that.

I was surprised.

I didn't know she was back.

Well she is.

Honey, Linda is my wife.

She's here to stay.

Is it so bad that you can't even try to get along?

First mom leaves, and now between your job and your wife, you never have any

time left for the rest of us.

You know, sometimes I feel like I've lost both my parents.

Have you ever stopped to think that maybe you've gained a parent?

Linda hates me.

I mean, not that I can really blame her.

Honey, that's not true.

You've just never given her a chance.

People are going to treat you like you treat them.

I will be here for you, Montana, as much as I can.

And I think you'll find Linda is a very forgiving person.

You could apologize.

Make a clean slate.

Can you do that?

I don't know.

Honey, you're never going to be happy as long as you hold a grudge.

It doesn't leave room for any other feelings.

I know.

All I ask...

is that we take it one day at a time.

It's okay.

Hi, Linda.

Montana?

Did you need some help with that?

Yeah, that'd be great.

You know, I'm not very good at apologies.

I mean, I just can't ever seem to find the magic words that makes it all better

or something.

Well, maybe there aren't any magic words, but there are fresh starts.

I think we could use one.

I think we deserve one.

I found that thing in your belly button.

No, I like it.

Maybe I'll get one.

Thanks.

Oh, God, not again.

Look,

look, look. So we get...

That's for that reel. That's that editing piece. And that picture's for

there. And then the big picture on here is what we're editing together. And we

play that once we match these two, the shot.

So we want to pick what we want here and here.

Okay.

Hey,

Montana.

Hi.

What are you guys doing?

I thought you were busy today.

I am.

I'm taking Laura to the movies.

Oh.

You want to come?

No, it's okay.

Montana.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Guess I'm just a little jealous you found a nice guy.

It'll happen, Montana.

You just gotta give it a chance.

I know.

I know.

I can't believe that it's already Christmas. I know.

Huh. Hey, I've got an idea. What?

Let's you and I get away after the party.

You mean a vacation?

I mean more like a second honeymoon.

Bora Bora.

OK. Montana, you want to come in for a swim?

No? Well, suit yourself.

You look so beautiful.

Come in.

Hi, Montana.

What are you doing?

Breathing exercises.

Relieves stress.

You want to try?

Does it work?

Yeah.

Okay, relax your shoulders.

Alright, breathe deeply through your stomach.

Okay, now relax your hands.

And form an O.

Okay.

Concentrate on your breathing.

Every time you exhale, let the tension out with your breath.

Good.

Now I want you to form the sound OM as you exhale.

Softly, almost to yourself.

Montana, what's wrong?

Nothing.

Everything.

I'm not going to that stupid party. It's not going to be any fun.

But why?

Everybody has someone except for me.

Montana, you need to learn to be comfortable with yourself.

Everything else will follow.

You have a lot to offer people.

You need to think more about what people are offering you.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe I'm ready.

Come on let's get dressed.

I won't feel the motion stop me from floating around in my head.

I gotta know when the penny will drop and take the sunshine out of this land.

Passing out the champagne.

Linda, you look great. Thank you. So do you. This is gorgeous.

You know, I think everything's going really well.

There's Jeff.

Darling. Oh, honey. Linda, this is a great party. Thank you. Yeah, you really

outdid yourself.

Thank you. You know, I have to give all the credit to Elkie. She did everything.

I'm going to miss her so much, and I haven't had a chance to tell you this,

Jeff. She's leaving on Saturday.

Oh, well, that's too bad.

It really is.

She says it's time for her to move on.

Hey, where are the kids?

Good evening.

Sorry I'm late. Montana, you look gorgeous.

Montana, you really do. You are so beautiful.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Would you like to dance?

I'd be delighted.

Will you excuse me? Absolutely.

Hey, have you seen Laura?

No.

Where's Josh?

I don't know.

Let's dance. I would love to dance with my husband.

Hi, how are you guys doing? Hey, how you doing? Good.

How do I look?

You look captivating and...

...ravishing... ...and... ...luminescent.

Really?

Really.

What about the party?

The party can wait.

How come I've never seen you before?

I have a feeling we hang out in different crowds.

So would you like to go out sometime?

What do you have in mind?

Coffee, movie, maybe dinner.

Really?

Well, it doesn't all have to be in the same night.

Yeah.

Um, why don't we go out for coffee?

Work our way up.

Sounds great.

Okay.

Take my dress off.

How do you feel about going off the pill?

Jeff, what are you saying?

I want to have children with you.

What do you say? Bora Bora.

You, me, make babies.

Jeff!

Sure.

You're so sweet.

He's not like the other guys you've been out with.

I think I love you.

Let's run away to Vegas.

You mean to... Do you want to?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

Great trip, honey. I'm getting hungry already.

That's my girl.

Hi. Hey there.

A bon voyage snack.

Mmm, looks good.

You even got the camera broken.

Come over here and get the shot.

Okay,

here.

Aren't you an angel?
