All language subtitles for Swingtown.S01E09_English

Previously on Swingtown:

JANET:
You told him
that rather than go home

and discuss the fact
that he got fired

with his wife,

he should head
over here

and have a field day
with the swingers.

It wasn't like that.

TRINA:
Susan, Bruce...
Sylvia and Brad Davis.

Brad is rabid
to psychoanalyze you.

SUSAN:
So what do you see?

(chuckling)

About the other night...

You were a perfect gentleman.
Not so perfect.

Mom, Mr. Thompson,
this is Mr. Stevens...

Doug.

He was my teacher
over the summer.

What do you want
to do next?

You slept with her, didn't you?

Oh, you can't seriously tell me

you're jealous of Bobbi.

You don't get to tell me
how I feel right now.

(camera clicks)

I think we need

to revisit
the rules

and be exclusive for a while.

BRAD:
Susan, what's the difference

between Richard Nixon
and Gerald Ford?

I don't know,
Brad, what?

Nixon couldn't
tell the truth.

Ford can't tell
the difference.

(both laughing)

You think Carter's
any better?

He's just plain nuts.

Nuts... you know,
peanut farmer?

Oh, God.
Oh come on,
that's funny!

Boo, boo.

Neither one of you

should quit
your day jobs.

But I will agree
with one thing.

This country's
two-party system

is a total joke.

By this time tomorrow,

we'll know
who the Republican

presidential nominee
will be.

God help us.

If Sylvia's
gonna start stumping,

I'm pouring
another round.

Make mine
a double.

(gasps)

Everyone getting
famished?

Bruce is on his
second drink,

and Sylvia's starting
to talk politics.

Oh, well, I better
hurry this up.

You know, speaking of
uncomfortable conversations,

have you spoken to Janet

since the party
last weekend?

We had lunch.

I'm back to square one
with her, aren't I?

Well, I wouldn't say
square one.

I am the one who brought Roger
to the pool party.

You did nothing wrong.

She still
doesn't think

I set out to seduce him,
does she?

I'm not sure she ever
really believed that.

I-I think that she...

felt more excluded
than betrayed.

Might take her longer
to forgive me than you.

You know, I might want to try

to do something
to smooth it over.

Maybe a pedicure

or a shopping spree.

(laughing)

That's a great idea...

but you-you might want to...

think of something
a little more Janet.

Right.

I'll think of something.

MAN (on TV):
It's no guarded secret.

It's something
that's been generally known,

and as a matter of fact,

I suspect it was
pretty generally known

to the president since we've
been friends for many years.

NEWSCASTER:
Senator, would you agree
that, uh,

you are an attractive quantity
for this ticket?

(man laughing on TV)

Can't remember
the last time

I saw you at
the typewriter.

Must be serious
business.

Just nailing down my options.

You know, I can still do
100 words a minute,

if you'd let
me help.

At this stage,
I'm really just brainstorming.

Roger, it's my future, too.

I-I-I want to help.

Firefighter-- really?

(typing fast)

Did you ever look

into any of those
engineering schools?

I did.

There's a program at DeVry.

I applied
for the fall.
You did?

In the meantime,
I need to pay the bills.

Um, stockbroker...

now, there's a career.

(typing)

Have you mentioned it to Bruce?

I'm meeting him
downtown tomorrow

to pick his brain a little bit.

Got anything else
up your sleeve?

How about...

(typing slowly)

Gravedigger?

It's almost time
for Barney Miller.

I'm gonna get a beer.

MAN (on TV):
I don't tend to do that,
even if it's a light day,

but, uh, to honestly answer
your question...

TRINA:
"Sexual Revolution

in Modern Marriage"
by Brad Davis.

Ooh.
Ah.

"While long popular
in urban circles,

"a growing number
of middle Americans

"are opening
their bedroom doors

to experimentation
with other couples."

Now, wherever
did you get that idea?

(laughter)
I may
have stumbled

into your basement
once or twice.

(laughter)

Simon & Schuster just optioned
this article for a book.

Wow.
Congratulations.

Thank you.

Should make
for some interesting research.

(laughter)

Brad has an all-access pass

to the Pendulum Club
tomorrow night,

if anyone's up
for an adventure.

BRUCE:
The Pendulum Club?

That's the, uh...

the sex club
on-on Dearborn?

Sex club?

More like an erotic cabaret.

Tom and I sure picked
the wrong month

to close our marriage.

Wait, you mean
you two aren't...

Turns out there are worse things

out there than monogamy.

Like what?

Infidelity.

BRAD:
Seems that it
comes down

to the difference
between swinging

and cheating...
you know, I would like

to interview you all
for the book.

Uh, no.
I, uh...

No, uh, thanks.

Why don't we crack open
that bottle

of brandy
you brought, Bruce?

Uh, yeah, great.

I'll go get it.

(Trina sighs)
A toast.

To Brad.

SYLVIA:
To Brad.

To Brad.

Bruce, you awake?

Yeah.

Do we need to talk?

Yeah, I-I think we do.

Look, I've been debating
about telling you this,

'cause it's-it's not
that big a deal.

I-I mean...
or it shouldn't be.

I mean, we both slept

with another couple
this summer,

so it's-it's not like
it's unprecedented.

Bruce, what are you
talking about?

Remember the night
of the blackout?

I-I wasn't out...

with the guys all night.

Where were you?

I went over to Melinda's.

* Give it up, give it up

* Give it up,
give it up *

* Ah, ah, ah *

* Give it up for love

* Ah, ah, ah *

* Give it up for love.

Susan, I'm really sorry.

You already said that.

All we did was kiss.

Already said that, too.

It was just that one time
at her apartment.

And the train station.

(sighs)
Right.

You know,
I think I'd feel

better if you'd
just yell at me.

Bruce, am I glad

you told me? Yes.

Do I wish it
had never happened?

Oh, yes.

I'll talk to
Melinda today.

I will let her know

in no uncertain terms that...
No.

I don't want you to talk
to her at all...

if you think
you can manage that.

Okay, if that's what you want.

I'm meeting Roger
for a drink after work.

He asked
to talk to me.

About what?

A job at the Exchange.

It's just Roger,

I promise,

and then I'm coming
straight home.

Bruce...

I have a wild idea.

Why don't we meet Brad
and Sylvia

at the Pendulum Club
afterward?

(laughs)

What, are you kidding?

I don't want this--

whatever this is... sex--

to control our marriage.

I want us
to control it... together.

Just like that first night
at Tom and Trina's house.

Tom and-and Trina put the brakes
on that-that...

I'm not saying
we actually have

to do anything
with anyone.

I just...

I think it would be good for us.

(sighs)

Okay.

Laurie, you're in charge
of dinner tonight.

I'm spending the night
at Rick's, remember?

And I'm staying at Stacy's.

I haven't heard Stacy's name

all summer.

Which is why we're
getting together.

Where are you guys going?

Downtown.

(door closing)

Was that Dad?

Clean this up
when you're done, please.

Trina.

I hope you don't mind.
I got your address from Susan.

Well, it's a shame
you didn't get my phone number.

Would've saved you a trip.

I made muffins.

Congratulations.

Janet...

I know you're upset,

but if I can just talk to you
for five minutes...

I haven't baked anything
since high school home ec.

Please?

Oh... those suckers aren't
coming out, are they?

I don't know
what I did.

Well, usually...

There's, uh,
these liners...

uh, or-or even just
a shot of Pam

will do it, but...

Here we go.

Oh, God.

(both laughing)

Oops.

You know,
the tops

are the best part anyway.

(laughing)

(laughing)

Janet...

I'm sorry

about that whole
misunderstanding with Roger.

That photograph
you saw--

all he did that day
was swim and have fun.

Without me.

Well, losing your job
is pretty major.

He was just
blowing off steam.

I'm sure he wished you
were there.

I'm not so sure.

I feel like Roger's changing,

and I'm not just talking
about the job.

Well, people change.

They're supposed to.

Maybe people like you and Tom.

And Susan, but...

I'm not the kind of person
who can find herself

by losing an earring
in someone else's bedroom.

(sighs)

And trying something new

shouldn't mean losing anything.

Susan and Bruce have been

in a moment of transition,

and sharing a
new experience

brought them
closer together.

Same could be true
for you and Roger.

(laughs)

If you're suggesting
Roger and I, uh,

then you've forgotten
who you're talking to.

I'm talking to the woman who
let loose up at Susan's cabin,

and who watched Deep Throat

with a bunch of strangers
at our house.

Can't smoke pot and watch
porno movies every night.

Besides,

those weekends, that...

they weren't really me.

I think we all underestimate
who the real Janet is.

Thanks for meeting
me, Bruce.

You know,
I never got the detail

about what happened
over at Mutual.

Why'd they let you
go after 12 years?

Guess I, uh, asked
for a promotion

on the wrong day.

Bastards.

How's all this sitting
with Janet?

Actually, she's taking it
pretty well.

Just wish
I'd told her sooner.

You know what's funny?

Sometimes, you know,
it's never as bad

as you think it's gonna
be with women.

What do you mean?

I had this little
indiscretion,

uh, with a girl
from the firm,

Melinda...
The one from
the scavenger hunt...

Nothing happened.

Nothing much.

But I felt so guilty
about it,

I ended up telling
Susan last night.

How'd she take it?

Really well.

So well we're going
to the-the Pendulum Club.

You know that place?

We got invited

by some friends of the Deckers.

Oh, so it's... it's like a...

And Susan wants to go?
Yeah.

I don't know if I'm being set up

or what, but...

Anyway, uh, what is it
that can I tell you about

the Options
Exchange?

Oh, um,

I guess just what kind
of job opportunities

there might be.

Now, I'm not
looking

for any special favors.

I got no problem
starting at the bottom.

You telling me
you want to be a trader?

Well... I'm open to it.

All right,

I-I-I can put
in a word, but, um...

uh, can I be honest?

You're not exactly a
born risk-taker, Rog.

You know?

Some guys are.
Some aren't.

But-but working
on that floor,

a guy can lose your shirt
in an afternoon.

I'd hate to think
I was setting you up for a fall.

Yeah, no, I, I hear
what you're saying.

Probably not that guy,

am I?

I'll grab us
a couple more drinks.

Pete, two more.

Huh.

You realize you have
more John Denver albums

than my mother.

I knew I liked her.

How does she feel
about Roxy Music?

I think you might

have her there.

*

Ugh, the Republicans are
choosing their nominee tonight.

I know, that convention
ought to be fascinating.

I say this with confidence:

there is nothing fascinating
about Gerald Ford

or Ronald Reagan.

Morbidly fascinating.

I thought you were a
conscientious objector

to television.

This is a rare exception.

So let's do it.

We could watch it
at my place.

My parents are downtown
for the night,

and my brother is staying
at a friend's.

I don't think so.

Come on, what better place

to watch the Republican
National Convention

than in an actual
Republican living room?

(doorbell ringing)

Ah, Susan! Wow!

You look great.

Bruce and I are going
to the Pendulum Club tonight.

You are?

What brought that on?

Bruce kissed Melinda.

Twice, actually.

And I guess he's been
to her apartment, too,

so...

Oh, Susan, I'm so sorry.

He said nothing more happened,
and I believe him.

I don't think it's anything
more serious than a...

work crush.

Like Tom
and that stewardess Bobbi.

If Bobbi had a brain.

Are you sure going
to the Pendulum Club

is the right move?

Not at all,

which is why I was hoping
you and Tom might join us.

Uh, Susan, Tom and I are...

taking break for a while.
I could really

use you tonight
for moral support,

just like a tour guide.

If Bruce is feeling tempted,

it's something I want him to
share with me, not hide from me.

Well, in that case,

the Pendulum Club might be the
perfect place for you and Bruce

to shake this off.

I'll call Tom.

(doorbell ringing)

Janet!

Hi! Susan...

Hello.

Trina brought me muffins

this morning.
Oh!

Your tin.

Plus some liners
for your next batch.

I wrote down a few
of my favorite recipes,

and if could offer
a tip?

Apple sauce.

Makes them unspeakably
moist. Mm-hmm.
Apple sauce?

TRINA:
I'll be sure
to remember that.

Well, don't you look nice.

Oh.

Oh, well, we're heading downtown
to meet Tom and Bruce.

Oh, well, uh, don't
let me stop you.

No, Janet, I would
have invited you,

but this club we're

going to...
Wouldn't want someone like me

for a member?

Maybe you shouldn't
underestimate me,

Susan.

If Roger's still
with Bruce,

we could call and they could
meet us at this club.

I-I mean unless
there's a dress code.

(chuckles)

Oh, there's a dress code.

Why don't we pick
something for you

out of my closet.

Really?
Well, if we're going to
do this, let's do it.

There's a few things
you need to know

about the Pendulum Club.

Pendulum Club?

Don't worry.

Just stick close
to us.

* Take no big thing

* To wait for ...

* Take no big thing...

(sighs)
Well...

this ought to be one
for the scrapbook.

Trina, how
nice to see you.

Good evening.

I can't believe
I told Roger to meet us here.

Susan, Trina.

Sylvia.

Isn't this place
a scream?

I could scream.

TRINA:
Sylvia, you remember
Janet.
Of course,

from the Deep Throat party.

Harry Reems absolutely
adored you.

Well, uh,

please tell him
I said hello.

MAN:
Oh, yeah.

WOMAN:
You like that?

I do believe
there's a unicorn

on your tail,
my friend.

In this place?

You shouldn't joke.
I'm talking about

that smoking hot
single woman

who comes out of nowhere,
looking to play,

and trots off
just as fast.

Aren't you a doll.

Good luck, pal.

(chuckles)
Mmm.

Where's Brad?
Oh, he's over there,

interviewing
couples.

I see you don't wear
a wedding ring.

I'm going to go
find my husband.

(sighs)

So, here we are.

This is a little
out there, isn't it?

A little?

Come on.

Never a dull moment,
huh, babe?

Mmm.
I feel like a kid
in a candy store.

In handcuffs.

Yeah, and not the fun,
fuzzy kind.

Hi, Tom.

(clears throat)

I'm digging this whole

fish-out-of-water vibe.

Very sexy.

I, uh, I actually...

I really haven't ever
been here before.

Neither has
my wife.

Which one is she?

The brunette
headed this way.

Mmm.

First-timers.

I'm Janet,
Roger's wife.

Lucky girl.

How about

a tour of the
back room?

Miller.

Hey.
It's about time you showed up.

Oh, Samantha and I were
just hanging out.

Hope it's okay.

Yeah, yeah, it's cool.

You see guys I told you
there'd be chicks here.

This is Samantha.

Samantha, this is
a bunch of nimrods.

You ever played Pong?

Yeah.

Dollar says Samantha
kicks your butt.

Reset the game,
losers.

We...

have another sucker.

I have been called...

That's it.

Ford versus Carter
in November.

Are those people
faking it?

No one could get
this riled up about Gerald Ford,

I mean, in a good way.

I'm riled up.

Democrats just
dodged a bullet.

Reagan would have been
a far better candidate.

You like Reagan?

He's a born politician.

Had this gone the other way,

Reagan might have been the new
leader of the free world.

Why are we always calling
our president the "leader

of the free world"?

Did anybody ever check

with the president
of France about that?

Do you even know who
the president of France is?

Giscard d'Estaing.

That is so hot.

(giggles)

* Drive all night,
drive all day... *

It's pretty fascinating,
isn't it?

Makes our night
at the Playboy Club

seem like a Girl Scout
meeting.

Call me anytime if you
want to talk some more.

My service will
track me down.

MAN:
Hey, thanks.
Nice!

You getting what
you came for, hon?

Best-seller material.

You catch the guy

in the judge's robes
walking around?

He actually has a seat

on the Illinois State
Supreme Court.

His wife is
a stenographer.

You never can tell
with people, can you?

That's what keeps me
employed.

Yeah, I'm gonna go

to the men's room.
If I'm not back in five,

you send out
a search party.

Bruce is adorable, you know.

Brad's pretty charming
himself.

Do what I can
with what I got.

You're quite something,
too, Susan.

Oh, I don't know.

Compared to these
people, I...

SYLVIA:
Are you kidding?

Brad couldn't stop
talking about you

and Bruce for weeks
after we met.

We both did.

I think you two are
the interesting ones.

You lead such...

...glamorous lives.

Well, it's nice to know
we're all mutually intrigued.

BJ:
Game point!

SAMANTHA:
Oh, come on.
See.

BOY:
Come on.
Get it.

No. Oh!

Yes! Yes!

Woo-hoo!

Pleasure doing business
with you.

Come on,
Jimmy Connors.

One more?

Forget it.

That's all my money.

I should probably get home
anyway.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

It's early.

There are plenty
of other games we can play.

Like what?

Spin the bottle.

*

* Yo te quero, mi corazon *

Uh, no unescorted
males allowed.

Sorry, Daphne. Our friend Bruce
doesn't know all the rules.

Well, hello, strangers.

We haven't seen you here
in forever.

Tom and I are laying low
for a while.

We're, um,

not participating.
Pity.

Look, I suppose a quick peak

is out of the question?

Right. Okay.

* Mi corazon... *

You want to take him

back with you?

(moaning and laughing)

It's your chance,

pal.

Actually...

I've invited Brad and Sylvia
to come home with us.

Brad really wants
to interview us,

and I told him
if they came back
to our place for a drink,

we'd see how it goes.

What? You-You mean
that-that...?

Okay.

Trina,

have you seen
Janet and Roger?

Uh, no, come
to think of it.

I'm sure they probably left.

TRINA:
Why don't you two
catch a ride

with Brad and Sylvia,

and we'll make sure
Roger and Janet get home?

Thanks, Trina.

Kind of makes you feel
like a parent on prom night.

(Trina laughs)

We have to get out of
here, Tom. I'm dying.
Uh-huh.

Bye.

I just gave the
virgins a tour.

Oh, Roger,

there you are.

Where's Janet?

Oh.

My God.

Why don't we get
you two home?

That's okay.
We have our car.

We must go forth from here
united, determined...

LAURIE:
You're right.

Reagan is way better
than Ford.

(laughing):
Oh.

Yeah, but now Carter
has a shot at it.

(cheering and applause on TV)

(both moaning)

(door opening)

BRUCE:
Come on in.

(laughter)

Oh, my God, my parents are home!

What?

Holy cow.
Get the TV!

I thought you said

they weren't
coming back until late.
Shh!

SUSAN:
The kids are out
for the night,

so we have... we have
the place to ourselves.

(laughing)

Oh, my God, they're not alone.

Look at the
new wallpaper.

Not that your caricature of me
went unappreciated.

That's not a
caricature at all.

It's a significant
piece of art.

(laughs)

I hate to think of you
all covered up under there.

Who's up
for a drink?

What do you got?

Uh, I could whip up some

gin and tonics?
The bar's in here.

SYLVIA:
I'm a little
ginned out.

Do you have any, um...
Crap!

...white wine or...?

In the kitchen
refrigerator, Bruce.

(whispers):
I don't believe this.

Uh, right this way.

Looks like a bomb
went off in here.

Kids. I'm sorry
about the mess.

Just don't
let Brad see.

He's a bit of
an obsessive-compulsive.

A what?

He likes things neat.

I, on the other hand,

don't mind a little mess.

What the hell is going on?

MAN (on radio)
That's extra bases!

(static and music
on different stations)

Oh, God, what a fantastic song.

* Crimson and clover...

Reminds me of this time

Brad and I were in the Haight

at some completely
out-of-control shrink party

where everybody was taking LSD.

I had an out-of-body experience
listening to this song.

The lawyer lady
took LSD?

Tell me you don't think of me
as the lawyer lady.

I'm getting past it.

Cheers.

* Crimson and clover...

(doorbell rings)

Hi. Uh, uh...

Oh. Don't mean to interrupt.

TRINA:
Oh, no, no, no,
that's fine.

Apparently we're entertaining.

Come on in.

I just, uh, wanted to get
my dress and return yours.

DEBORAH:
Roger!

You're here.

(laughs)

Excuse me.
(clears throat)

Uh, actually,

we're-we're
not staying.
One dance.

You won't even have
to do anything.

(laughs)

BRAD:
So, tell me,

what does modern marriage
mean to a woman like you?

(inhales and exhales)

I don't know.

I guess a modern marriage

is one that is... equal,

and open to change.

Interesting.

Is it passionate?

Yes.

How passionate?

* Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

* What a beautiful feeling...

Are you asking me...

how often or how intense?

(whispering):
We have to get
out of here,

or I'm going
to scream.

(quietly):
Please, don't scream.

GROUP:
* Crimson and clover

* Over and over

I'm in hell.

*

Trina, uh,
there's some sort of...

stain on your dress?

Don't worry about it.

Did you take all these?

A while ago,
most of them.

This one's recent.

I took it the day Tom and I
decided to close our marriage.

You mean, not, uh...
not be with other people?

For now.

This picture reminds me why.

Have you always
had this

honesty compulsion?

I used to love

dissecting stuff in school--

pulling all the layers apart
and seeing what's underneath--

so, yeah,
I guess.

You know, I think
I had you all wrong.

You seem like you want to be
the center of attention, but...

you're an observer.

I guess
I underestimated you, too.

People are always
more interesting

when they think
no one's looking.

You should be
proud of yourself

for going to
that club tonight.

It was a big step.

I-I only did it for Roger.

(laughs)

RICK:
Here goes nothing.

*

(laughter)

RICK:
Sorry.

I'm not spending two minutes

in the closet with a dude.

(laughter)

*

Whatever.

Let's go.

* Ain't no better way

Don't start the timer
until the door shuts.

* It's a brand-new day...

(door closes)

(laughs)

Don't think I'm kissing you.

Who says I even want to?

Good, 'cause I'm not.

Why'd you even come here?

Because BJ asked me to.

(laughs)

Oh, BJ.

What's that supposed to mean?

He's just got a thing
for strays.

Lame dogs, abandoned cats,

broken birds.

He can't help
himself.

I should know.
He's been my friend

my entire life.

Yeah, well, it's pretty obvious
how you feel about him.

At least to me, and that's fine.

Nobody's trying
to take him away from you.

(loud smack)

RICK:
Ow!

Oh!

Whoa, Sam.

Where you going?

Dude, what the hell did you do?

Nothing, man.
She tongued me.

And then punched you?

Sam?

I did this on the door.

So what's with
this whole

season of passion theory?

What's that about?

Brad thinks that
human sexuality is perennial.

Like flowers.

I like to categorize my wife
as a hothouse orchid.

(laughs)

She's always in bloom.

(laughter)

What about you, Brad?
Do you have a season

of passion?

He's deciduous.

* Let's get it on...

(laughter)

This is ridiculous.

Let's just walk out there.

We'll deal with this
like adults.
Are you insane?

(laughter)
We'll say
I was helping you.

With what?

Some kind of
philosophy emergency?

(laughter)

Okay, what about the truth?

We came to watch
the GOP nomination, all right?

Maybe your dad would
be cool with that.

(sniffing)

Oh, my God.
What?

Are they smoking pot?

* With so much to give

* Understand me, sugar...

So, uh, what
do you think?

(both laughing)

I think we should go for it.

Yeah?

Don't you?

* There's nothin' wrong
with me *

* Lovin' you

* Baby now

* And giving yourself to me
can never be wrong... *

What? Go!

Just-Just hang on.

Let's take this
in the other room.

* Oh, baby

* Ooh, ooh

*

Why? What's going on?

*

(giggling)

*

* Mmm...

* Oh, yeah...

Oh.

* Whoa...

* He-hey

* Whoa...

* Yeah

* You...

* Ooh...

* Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Everything
okay out here?

Uh, fine.

It's just getting
a little... close in there.

Roger's just having
a good time.

Don't make this something
bigger than it is.

I used to think I knew
what he needed, but...

if what's happening in there
is what he needs...

Whatever's going
on with him

can include you, and
it's better if it does.

(chuckles)

That's...

People might see Roger

that way.

I, on the other hand,
am not the kind of person

any one of your friends
would...

want like that.

You are a beautiful woman,
Janet.

Don't you ever
forget that.

Roger is a very lucky man

and he would be a fool
not to know that.

A little attention
from someone else

is only going to bring
it all back to you.

All right... I'll see
you back in there.

(giggles)

Hi.

Uh, Roger,
could I, uh...?

Uh, yes,

yes, you may, definitely.

Can... um, excuse me.

Um, I'm, uh,
going to go home,

so, um, I'll need the keys
if you're going to stay.

You mean without you?

I don't think I can follow you
into this, Roger.

I... I tried, but, um...

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, Janet.

I don't know what it is you
think I'm interested in here,

but this whole night
was your idea.

Well, what do you want?

Well, it isn't a damn unicorn,

that's for sure.

What?

Janet...

(sniffles)

Let's go home.

Okay.

WOMAN:
Bye.

(slow R&B plays)

* Listen, baby...

So Bruce and I...

We were thinking that...

maybe if you
and Sylvia...?

We actually haven't
done this a lot.

You know what I could
really go for right now?

What?

An omelet.

How's it going in here, kids?

We're... making

an omelet.

You guys want cheese?

Cheese sounds great.

He mostly likes to watch.

Brad is what you would

call an "emotional voyeur."

Come on, Bruce.

Uh... yeah, um, uh,

c-could we just, uh...

Whoa, uh...
h-hold on a second.

Oh!

You like the light on, huh?
Give Brad a better view,

is that what you like?

Laurie?!

Oh, wow.

Wh... uh, what is

going on here?

Who is this lady?

This is Sylvia Davis--
a friend of mine

and your mother's.
Who is this?

Uh, Doug Stephens.

I'm sorry. Doug who?

Doug Stephens.

We were watching
the convention.

How old are you?

Honey...

Right, um, Susan,
Bruce, we'll call you.

Uh, yeah, I should, uh,
get going, too.

Uh, Laurie,
Mr. and Mrs. Miller..

SYLVIA:
Where is my jumpsuit?

Sam, hold up.

Leave me alone.

Whatever Rick said,
he's an ass.

I swear...
I don't need your pity.

Okay? I'm not some stray animal
you need to take care of.

What did he say to you?

I don't go to parties.

I don't drink.

And I don't play
stupid kissing games.

Good. Me neither.

SYLVIA:
Come on! Hurry, hurry, let's go!

Right behind you.

WOMAN:
Thanks, Trina.

MAN:
We had a great time.

(sighs)

I think that's everybody.

Everybody that's fit
to drive anyway.

I guess she wiped herself out
with all that dancing.

Looks like she scared Roger
and Janet away.

Oh, I think I might've
had something to do with that.

Never mind.

Oh...

Such a waste, huh?

Perfect unicorn.

There's only one unicorn
in my book, baby.

(moaning softly)

You can't ground me.

I'm practically an adult.

"Practically" and "actually"
are two very different things.

How old is he anyway?
What's the difference?

Do I need to remind you
what you two

were doing at my age?

Laurie...
He's making Doug

sound like some sort of creep.

He is a philosophy professor.

And where the hell

did you meet
a philosophy professor?

Oh, no.

Wait. He's your teacher?

Not anymore.

It was summer school.

Oh, that is it.

What is that,
some kind of threat?

What about what you
two were doing?

Getting stoned
with those freaks,

about to...
Watch it!

No, she's right, Bruce.

What, what has happened

to this family?

Ever since we moved
into this house--

I mean, no wonder our kids are

off the rails.

All right, the buck...

stops here.

We are taking back
control of this family.

There's going to be a lot
of changes around here.

What is that supposed to mean?

I don't know yet.

I have to think on it.

Mom?

We'll talk about this
in the morning.
