Cook the food.

Fold the laundry.

Fold the laundry.

Cook the food! Scrub the floors!

Fold the laundry!

This is what a marriage is.

This is what a marriage is.

Where is my drink?!

Do you see my cock?

Where's my tie?!

Can you see my cock?!

Yeah, thanks. Yeah.

This is what a marriage is.

This is what a marriage is!

This is what a marriage is!

This is why they hate us.

"The Voice" said it was provocative.

- Certainly provoked laughter.
- Hey, you don't think

our marriage is a prison, do you?

Because I also "cook the food!"

Isn't marriage by definition prison?

See what I'm up against?

This is what a marriage is.

This is what a marriage is.

It's gotta be good research
for your book, though.

- How's it coming?
- He's almost done.

- Well...
- What? You're almost done?

I still need a good title.

"Men's Lib" feels derivative.

I was thinking "Wonder Man,"
like "Wonder Woman,"

but also, I wonder how to be a man.

I'm not good with titles.
What about you?

You have one for your book?

Yes. 200 pages of shit.

I highly doubt that.

I promised I would have it
finished by my 40th birthday.

What do you wanna do to celebrate?

We should all go on a trip together.

You mean like Saint Martin?

I love that house we went to, right?

Or maybe south of France.

Or maybe we could just treat
it like any other Tuesday.

You gotta let us do something.
I mean, it's a big milestone.

If you wanna do something for me,

send me five more states.

_

_

You hold this?

Just like you're working.

Much better.

So distinguished.

You look like Rock Hudson.

I guess that makes you Doris Day, honey.

Que será, será.

- One last thing.
- It's all right.

- No one will notice.
- No, it's too worn for the picture.

Let me ask you something else.
Leaders of the women's movement

claim your wife's
arguments against the ERA

are old-fashioned.

Would you characterize
your wife as such?

Not at all. I would classify my wife

as an exceptional woman
who has been able to manage

a career at home and her public life.

How are the kids?

Roger's enjoying Princeton.

And Phyl might apply there next year.

And John?

He's exploring different paths.

You know young people these days.

But Bruce is studying for the LSATs.

Following in his father's footsteps.

If anything, her public life
has helped shed light

on my own causes,
namely communism and abortion.

I think what's missing from this picture

is you, Mrs. Schlafly.

No, no, no.
This is a profile of Fred.

- Yes, but...
- Besides, I wasn't on

the list of, poses.

I'm in no condition to be photographed.

With regard to abortion, their efforts

at zero population growth
actually help the communists...

I'm so sorry I'm late.

My talk ran long,
and I couldn't get a taxi.

- Nice to meet you in person.
- It's fine.

I hope you started without me.

- He wanted to wait.
- I reached out to Ms. Steinem

because when I arrived at Justice,

I discovered there is a
massive women's problem

in this country.

Wait, have you heard about Vietnam?

I would like to start
a women's task force,

but I wanna work with movement leaders
so we're not at cross purposes.

Well, off the top of my head,

what about hiring a woman to run it?

Well, why don't you come
on board to advise me?

Um, would you actually take my advice?

You know, not all Nixon appointees

are corrupt and chauvinistic.

We've been targeting swing
states in the Midwest.

- Ohio was a big win.
- I'm from Ohio.

- Me, too. Toledo.
- Dayton.

What I wouldn't give for a
bottle of Vernors right now.

Schweppes doesn't taste the same.

Next, we're making
a big push for Illinois.

If we win,
it could be a real turning point.

Phyllis Schlafly's home state.

Boy, she has polarized
the hell out of the fight.

You gotta give it to her. That's clever.

It is.

She's a very clever puppet
for special interests.

Special interests aren't
baking all those pies.

They are paying for the flour.

What are you doing to neutralize her?

We wrote an exposé on her in "Ms."
Nothing stuck.

Preaching to the choir.

Why don't you debate her?

On television.

The last thing I want
to do is use my profile

to increase her audience.

Besides, you can't reason
with women like Phyllis.

They've internalized the patriarchy.

Well, perhaps the answer
to equality lies in the courts.

Rulings can be overturned.

Writing an explicit prohibition
against sex discrimination

into the Constitution makes
it just as unacceptable

as discriminating on the basis of race.

Well, maybe you should
debate her, Mrs. Ginsberg.

No. I don't like the limelight.

I challenge Phyllis Schlafly
to debate the issues raised

by the Equal Rights Amendment.

She's made some outrageous claims.

We should time the debate to take place

right before the vote in Springfield.

Feels good to go on the offense.

Since she has made
it her personal crusade

to keep us all from
attaining our full rights

as United States citizens,
I think it's important

to demonstrate publicly and legally

that she doesn't know what
the hell she's talking about.

- How's that?
- Perfect.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

You'll drop the "hell."

Gloria!

Jules. I took some photos
for "Ms." last year.

Of course. So nice to see you again.

- This is my friend Bren...
- Brenda, right?

You were at the Christmas party.

Are you down here doing a story

about the impeachment proceedings?

We had a meeting at the DOJ.

I'm actually a lawyer for the ACLU.

So you were crashing the "Ms."
Christmas party.

No, no, no, I'm one
of the founders of "Ms.,"

so technically it was legitimate.

Definitely a lawyer.

- How long are you two in town?
- Just for the night.

Have you been to the
Dubliner? Just opened.

Great happy hour.

Gloria's in charge of happy hours.

Stan asked if we could
continue our conversation

over dinner tonight.

Well, I guess we have dinner plans.

I think he just meant the two of us,
but I'll double-check.

We should get going.

Next time.

My brain doesn't work this way.

It's just a puzzle,
and puzzles are games,

and games are fun.

Now that is the
transitive property at work.

Well, you could take the LSAT.

A man with solid prospects...
Very attractive to a girl.

Face it, Mother.

None of your children
wanna go to law school.

Well, a law degree is versatile.

No, it's not just for,
being a lawyer.

You could,
go into politics or business.

Here. Let's take a look at this one.

"Now the number of calories in
a gram of refined cane sugar

is the same as in an equal amount..."

I can read myself.

I don't know.

"B"? "C"?

Don't just say
letters. Consider it.

I would say..."E."

Since the premise does not
account for the fact that sugar

is not the only ingredient
that contains calories.

I'm right.

It is "E."

You're home early.

Linda got an advanced
copy of the morning paper.

_

Well...

Look, they quote you at length.

I think you look very
handsome in the photo.

Not bad.

So how does it feel to be
Phyllis Schlafly's lawyer husband?

If you keep studying,

you can be Phyllis
Schlafly's lawyer son.

- When's dinner?
- It's at 6.

It's always at 6.

Well, when I was at Harvard...

Never heard a good story

that begins with "When
I was at Harvard..."

I had the professor
that was the inspiration

for "The Paper Chase," and he announced

he would only call on women
one day a year... Ladies' Day.

- Ladies' Day.
- And he would only discuss

cases involving widows and brides.

He didn't think we could handle
sparring in a Socratic fashion

without bursting into tears.

Did you ever burst into tears?

Tears of rage. I paid the same tuition.

Well, why didn't you
transfer somewhere else?

Harvard's the best law school.

Have you ever been photographed?

Once for "Glamour" a few years back.

That makes sense.

You're beautiful.

No, it was for a profile
about the movement.

It was just about me and my husband.

That's the third time tonight
you've said "husband."

Why did you change your
mind about meeting me out?

Well, I felt bad.
You're friends with Gloria,

and I was very rude.

Where are we headed?

The Watergate.

Should we break in?

- You have to wait.
- I thought I was!

No, I lost my... bracelet.

I'll get it.

- Got it!
- Shh! What if we get caught?

I think it's been
established that security

in this building is not great.

- Right.
- Okay.

I can do it.

I think.

Got it.

Wanna see who can hold
their breath the longest?

No.

I wanna kiss you.

How's that?

That better?

Gosh, your calves have gotten so strong.

Well, I ran 12 miles today.

12?

I don't know what to do
about this challenge.

No, it... it's insulting.

Now I'm the leader of the opposition,

and they should send their girl wonder

- to debate me, not to...
- I told you.

Ignore it.

I've never turned
down an invitation to...

To debate on the ERA,

and they're gonna say I'm scared.

Scared? I've never even heard
of Brenda Fasteau. She's nobody.

Well, and no,
she helped write the amicus brief

for Frontiero v. Richardson.

She's a lawyer.

Now what if this is some kind of trap,

that, they're trying to humiliate me

that I don't have a law degree?

What was the biggest sticking point

between the North and South Vietnamese
during the Paris peace talks?

The shape of the negotiating table.

So if you don't like
the terms of the debate,

change the shape of the table.

So you respond

that since the ERA is going to,

destroy the institution of marriage,

the debate ought to be between couples.

And that way you can bring
your lawyer husband with you

and protect you from her
Supreme Court credentials.

Well, you'd... you'd have
to travel with me.

Can you swing that with work?

It's my law firm.
I can do whatever I like.

Thank you, Daddy.

May I help you with something, ma'am?

I'm here to take the LSAT.

The registration's
under Bruce Schlafly,

but I called,
and they said I could take it instead.

I'm his mother.

- You enjoyed yourself.
- Stop.

That was incredible.

Wow.

You're so much more open and...

you let me know everything you wanted.

Did something happen
when you were in D. C.?

No.

You didn't sleep with someone?

I would never sleep with another man.
You know that.

I would never do that.

You would never sleep
with another... man?

It was a very spontaneous thing.

Gloria had dinner plans,
and I had met this photographer

earlier in the day with her named Jules.

- Jules.
- And I had way too many drinks,

and... and then...

I wasn't not gonna tell you.

I just... haven't.
I just didn't tell you yet.

It's okay.

- It is?
- Yes.

Yeah, it's okay. Come here.

Look...

If it was another man...

that would be something
else entirely, but...

a woman? I mean...

that's practically a rite of passage
for a radical feminist.

I mean, I've always...

wanted to experience
sex once with a woman.

Well, now you have.

- Well, that's what I thought.
- We win Missouri...

Well, we've talked about
going to Illinois next week.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry I'm late.

I have just received
an interesting message

from a producer on "The Tomorrow Show."

Tom Snyder has invited
Brenda and her husband

to appear on the show
in a couples debate

with the Schlaflys.

What?

A couples debate with me and Marc?

And Fred and Phyllis, yes.

Apparently she suggested the idea.

Of course she did, because he's the one

feeding her the lines. It's a trap.

Maybe she was hoping you weren't married

so she could worm her
way out of debating you.

Yeah, she likes to paint us
all as man-hating lesbians.

Well, the joke's on her.

You go on TV and look
like Barbie's Dreamhouse

for all of flyover land to see.

Yes, but if she and Fred
beat Marc and Brenda,

you know, that gives
Phyllis a boost in Illinois,

and we have to get Illinois
to ratify this year.

No, we made a challenge.

She either has to accept it or not.

I'm not in charge of TV show bookings.

The whole point of this
was to go on the offensive,

and she's got us playing defense again.

Now we're trying to prove we're
as white, straight, and married

as Phyllis and Mr. Phyllis Schlafly?

What we should do is
send a lesbian couple.

- Very funny.
- Wow.

- I think that's a good idea.
- Look, don't start.

I'm going straight from this meeting

and meeting with the
National Gay Task Force.

But she happens to have a husband

who happens to be a
magnificent hunk of a man,

and I'm not going to apologize

that the image of Phyllis Schlafly

eating her words gives me a warm feeling

down in my kishkes.

Why aren't you more excited?
Why isn't she more excited?

It's fine. We'll do the show.

- Good.
- Mistake.

Great. So that's settled.

Next on our agenda,

- we have gotten a great response...
- Everything okay?

of our Win With Women
in '74 campaign.

- Yeah.
- We are making a push

to support women candidates.

You don't have to do it
if you don't want to.

Of course I wanna do the show.

I'll do anything to win Illinois for us,
and so will Marc.

Besides, it'll be great
publicity for his book.

Fantastic.

We're making a goodbye
toast to Margaret.

- Where are you going?
- San Francisco.

Not San Francisco. Oakland.

I haven't told Gloria yet.

The Left Coast is calling me.

- To Margaret.
- Whoo!

- To Margaret.
- Thank you.

The palm trees and Panthers,

the Pacific and the poets.

Earthquakes and Reagan.

The love-ins and living-out-loud life.

Feels like I'll find my people there.

- We're not your people?
- Yes.

And you're my people,
and you're my people.

I go to NOW meetings on Monday,

National Black Feminist
Organization on Tuesday,

Lesbian Alliance on Wednesday,
and PTA on Thursday.

- It's exhausting.
- Is California any different?

See for yourself.

Brenda and her husband are going
to be on "The Tomorrow Show"

to debate the Schlaflys about the ERA

because they are the
perfect heterosexual couple.

Just made you come in
the bathroom three times.

- There's no windows here.
- What do you expect, Jules?

She's basically a suburban housewife.

Don't let them bully you, okay?

I live in Chappaqua with
my husband and three boys,

and I teach third grade,
and it works for me.

We live in the city.

How about...

"Eve came from Adam's rib.

It's time to abort women's lib"?

I say we just stick
with "Jam and sham."

It's just that "abort"
is more emotional.

STOP ERA. Rosemary speaking.

Big mistake putting Rosemary
in charge of the bullhorn.

Well, I tried to put you in charge.

I can't speak in front
of hundreds of people.

How did it go with Bruce's LSATs,
by the way?

Very well.

- Wonderful.
- He wants to go to med school.

Yeah, I'll be right back.

That would be great.

Can I help you?

Is there where a John Schlafly lives?

He's not at home. May I help you?

I found his wallet.

Well, I'll make sure
he gets it. Thank you.

He should be more
careful with his stuff.

Not everyone's as thoughtful as me.

You know what? You deserve a reward

for your sense of... civic duty.

Well, that should be enough, right?

Are you going to Trader Vic's
or the Chateau Marmont?

Maybe you'll see some movie stars.

Mom? Are you even listening?

No, no, it's a... it's a work trip.

Right.

So?

How was the LSAT?

What?

He didn't take it.

What do you mean, you didn't take it?

I had an event at my fraternity.

He just didn't feel he was ready.

You know how competitive he is.

- He can take it next year.
- Well, you should be ashamed.

For wasting your mother's
time and my money.

I'll pay you back.

Well, actually,
the money didn't go to waste.

They let me take it instead.

- What?
- You took Bruce's test?

Why would you do that?

It was a lark. You know me.

I enjoy multiple choice and logic

and those sorts of things.

What a pointless thing to do.

As I said, it was a lark.

Well, if you didn't want
my money to go to waste,

you should've convinced
this one to go instead.

I don't wanna go into law.

Well, you wanna do menial work
for the rest of your life?

- What's wrong with you?
- There's nothing wrong with him.

Why do you keep protecting him?

Fred... this is our time as a family...

to relax and enjoy our dinner together.

Bless us, Lord, these thy gifts

which we are about to receive

from thy bounty through
Christ, our Lord.

What are you working on?

An introduction to Marc's book.

Probably the best shot I've
got at getting published

before I turn 40.

You already published a book.

"The Beach Book" is not a book.

You know...
you're too hard on yourself.

The dust jackets were made
out of sun reflectors.

Can I tell you something?

You're also writing a book?

Marc told me about
Brenda... experimenting.

What?

While you two were in D. C.,
some photographer?

She didn't tell me.

Sounded like it wasn't a big deal.

That man is enlightened,

'cause it sure as hell
wouldn't fly with me.

Maybe we should rethink
planning a vacation with them.

You will find any
excuse to not celebrate.

What's to celebrate?
Nothing is going well.

Hey. If I learned
anything from my divorce,

it's to focus on the
things you can control

and change that.

Marlo called.

She wants to donate the proceeds

from "Free To Be... You and Me"
to Ms. Foundation.

It got me thinking.

I could set up grants to
focus on survival issues,

working class women, battered wives,

focus on marginalized groups.

Maybe you could help me set that up.

That is a great idea.

They're taping a "Free
To Be... You and Me"

TV special next week.

Do you think Kerrie and Kyle would enjoy

coming to the studio with me?

They would love it.

And maybe afterward,

we could get a slice of
cake for my birthday.

They like cake, right?

Kids generally like cake. Yes.

If we have time, we should hike up to

the Griffith Park Observatory.

It's where they filmed
"Rebel Without a Cause."

I think I need to go lie down.

Okay, I'm just gonna stop by
the concierge and get some maps.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

My God. It's them.

I hate Los Angeles.

We probably won't move until the summer,

but I'd like to take a few
months to finish my book.

I didn't know you were writing a book.

On black feminism.

Is there anything I can
do to entice you to stay?

"Ms." won't be the
same without your voice.

I think we'll be happier in Oakland.

You're not happy here?

No, it's just... the schools
are better in Oakland.

You probably have to get going.

Look who's here.

Hi, Ms. Gloria.

Hey.

Is something wrong?

Margaret just quit.

I'm sorry.

She's moving to Oakland.

You know, better schools
there for her daughter.

Is that what she told you?

You excited to see how a
television show gets made?

Yeah. We've been
listening to the record all week.

Tell Ms. Gloria what
your favorite song is.

"It's Alright to Cry."

It's one of my favorite songs, too.

Hey.

What's going on? You okay?

I think I'm pregnant.

We're gonna have a baby?

This is incredible. A baby.

My goodness.

Okay, so look,

we can put the crib in our
room for the first few months,

but then we gotta start
looking for a 2-bedroom.

And hey, hey, I know it's scary,

but it's not like we
haven't talked about it.

It's just it's the timing of it.

Are we even ready?

Hey, but it's never
the right time, right?

That's what Ruth and Marty always say.

- Yeah, but...
- You're worried about your career?

I don't know!

I don't know what I think
because you keep talking.

Okay. Okay.

Brenda, I'm listening.

I slept with Jules again.

When?

She lives in the city.

And we've been seeing each other.

I thought you were just
looking to experiment. Um...

So are you leaving me for her?

No.

Look, can we talk about this later?

I forgot. We have to go on television

and pretend to be the
perfect married couple.

We don't have to do the show.

We have to go.
Everyone's counting on us.

We can smile. We can fake it.

That's apparently what
you've been doing anyway.

Did either of you

cross paths with Paul Freund
while you were at Harvard?

We had him for Constitutional Law.

He was my classmate.

And does he know your wife
has been citing his article

on the ERA in her testimony
before state legislatures?

Mis-citing.

We're not in touch.

I see.

Do you have children?

- No.
- Not yet, no. No.

You know when I miss Cambridge the most?

- In the fall.
- That foliage.

Made studying for torts less bleak.

Yeah.

First, let me introduce
Brenda and Marc Fasteau...

Brenda Feigen Fasteau
is 30 years of age,

and she is a graduate of
the Harvard Law School,

the full-time director of

the American Civil Liberties Union's
women's rights project

and a strong advocate of
the Equal Rights Amendment.

Her husband is Marc Feigen Fasteau.

He is 31, also a graduate
of the Harvard Law School.

He is a lawyer,
and is now putting together a book

about male sexual stereotyping.

On the other side of the issue
are Phyllis and Fred Schlafly.

Mrs. Schlafly,
a housewife and mother of six,

is the head of STOP ERA,
the national organization

which opposes the
Equal Rights Amendment.

Now Mr. Schlafly is a lawyer,

and he strongly
supports his wife's efforts.

Now I am told that Mrs. Schlafly
ran for the Congress twice

- in the state of Illinois...
- That's right.

and lost both times.

She thanked all the
people who voted for her,

and her husband thanked all
the people who did not vote for her.

- Right, Marc, yeah.
- I'm Marc.

Yes, Tom. Right.

So the ERA has been ratified
by 33 states so far.

It will have to be
ratified by 38 states...

And that's two that have rescinded.

- Nebraska and Tennessee are...
- But states really aren't able

to rescind, so the first thing
is to acknowledge the truth,

which is that women are
discriminated against.

Well, I don't acknowledge that at all.

Well, then I'll just lay
out my version of the truth.

Before we get into that, I...
I'd... I would like to give

Mrs. Schlafly and
Mr. Schlafly an opportunity

to enumerate what they
think this amendment means,

and then we'll come over to this side,

and you can say what you
and Marc think it means.

- Is that okay?
- I'll say what I think,

and Marc will say what he thinks.

Okay, everyone will say what they think.

All right? Fine.

- Here we go. Mr. Schlafly.
- Well, under the ERA,

the poor girls would have to
support the family 50%.

But... but wouldn't we be
getting something for that, Fred?

- First, Tom...
- We may well perhaps.

Let me just say,
the ERA would, impose

a doctrinaire equality on men and women

and take away from women some
of the most important rights

and privileges they now have by law,

and that's why we think it's a fraud.

Can you give us an
example of what you mean?

Well, for example,
under our current system,

in a case of a breakup of marriage,

the mother gets the children.

Now, who wants to trade that in

for a so-called equality whereby
each, parent gets one child?

The ERA does not say that
in the case of divorce,

- each parent gets one child.
- Yes, it does.

It says you have to interpret
things absolutely equally.

Well, what if she has one child,
would it be cut in half?

Well, you...
you can joke all you want.

I mean, the courts,
would decide, as they did,

with a recent
Washington, D. C., case,

where three children
were given to the father,

and the mother had to pay child support.

- What was the name of the case?
- It's crazy to say that was

an advance for women, but the...

The larger issue is that the ERA

erodes the institution of marriage...

- Cite the case.
- The case?

Well, I'd have to look it up,
but the point is...

You don't know the name of the case?

Well, there's so many cases.

We don't have time to cite them all.

- Just cite the one case.
- We don't have time

- to cite them all.
- Just name this one case.

The point is,
if everything must be equal,

then the logical extension of the ERA

is that we would have a
gender-neutral society...

- or homosexuals will have...
- You have scared the women

of America into believing
something that is not based

in reality, but when
you argue an actual point

in the real world in a court of law,

you need to cite a case
to support your argument,

so cite the case.

Well, I think it was
Foley vs. Langhamor Lancaster.

Something like that.

- No, there is no such case.
- Yes, there is.

- But you see...
- Did you just make up a case?

I'm not a lawyer. No.

I'm the wife of a lawyer, and I really

do think that's more fun...

Well, listen, I doubt
we're gonna get to agree

on this at all,
so we should just move on.

The fact is there is no
Foley vs. Langham case.

Also a fact is that you
are not really a housewife.

You are a full-time lobbyist
working to defeat the ERA

so that businessmen can continue
to make millions of dollars...

- No, no, no, no.
- ... discriminating against women

when they work, when they buy insurance,

- and when they give birth.
- No, well, I don't work

- for anyone.
- Great, so you're a patsy.

Well, maybe you should stick

to baking and leave interpreting
the law to the lawyers.

Okay. You both have
some opinionated wives,

but seriously,
let's bring the fellas in on this

and have them get a word in.

Marc, you are in what
you call an equal marriage.

So let me ask you this.

Who wears the pants in your family?

Well, we both do.

Brenda looks much better
in them than I do.

But, um, our marriage was...
was really forged

in the crucible of feminism,
so we don't have assigned roles.

And, Fred, how about you?

Well, your wife has a very strong and...

And dominant kind of style.

She wear the pants in your family?

No, she doesn't.

I'm obviously physically
larger than she is.

Yeah, well, he chins himself
25 times every morning.

And, she's very, submissive.

Sub-submissive?

Wait. Phyllis Schlafly submissive?

I just... I... Well, I can't even...

Is that right?

Well, um, Fred's the boss
of the family, and, um...

All right. Well, speaking of submissive,

we've got some bills to pay here, so...

- And what was that all about?
- I don't like your tone.

You hung me out to dry!

You made up a case,
and I couldn't defend you

without looking foolish.

Well, you could've jumped in earlier.

- If you had stopped talking...
- No, no, no.

You just sat there. Why do you think...

- What?
- I brought you.

That LSAT wasn't a lark, was it?

You're applying to law school.

- Is that such a crazy idea?
- Yes! Absolutely crazy.

No, you don't think I could get in.

It's not a matter of
whether you could get in.

I have raised six children.
They're almost all grown...

You are too old.

Who applies to law school at 50?

You can't stop me from going.

Well, who's going to pay for it?

I have let you run around
this country with your cause.

It's our cause, Fred. It's our cause.

I... am the lawyer in the family.

Don't worry. I'm not looking
to practice estate law!

You made a sacred promise to me

when we were married,
or have you forgotten?

I've not forgotten.

But you can't blame
me if you didn't do more

with your law degree
to save our country.

Where are you going?

I don't need to explain myself to you.

God, that was tremendous.

You were pretty amazing.

Thank you. Thank you.
We make a great team.

Are you in love with her?

I don't even know if I like her.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

I'm sorry. I'm...

I'm confused, and...

What?

I really love being with a woman.

More than me?

I could never love anyone more than you.

What do we do?

What if you didn't
have to be this or that?

I mean, what if there's another way?

Isn't it the whole point
of living a radical life?

Until you bring a child into it.

Says who?

We've always played by our own rules.

We can choose to build our
family however we want.

I think it's,

Foley vs. Langham or Lancaster,

- something like that.
- No, there is no such case.

Yes, there is, but you see...

- Did you just make up a case?
- I'm not a lawyer, no.

I'm the wife of a lawyer,
and I really do think

- that's more fun...
- Listen, I doubt we're

gonna get to agree on this at all...

Just look at her face.

She's dying inside.

It would help if your friend
cracked a smile. She's winning.

You're not gonna add
your name to my FBI file?

I never traveled to Cuba as
part of the Venceremos Brigade,

by the way.

When did you go through it?

When I sent you out
to get coffee for me.

Right.

You should be more careful.

I would like to go to Cuba one day.

I'll take you.

This is a one-time thing.

Okay.

Sure.

You're still gonna be my advisor,
though, right?

I don't have time to consult

with some man's women's task force.

Right. Sure.

Sounds beautiful.

How was California?

Your father's cross with me...

for taking the LSAT.

Doesn't want me to go to law school.

It's the one thing left that's all his.

Did I ever tell you the story
about how I quit smoking?

I didn't even know you smoked.

Yes, I was a pack a day,

and your father hated the habit.

He thought it wasn't, ladylike.

Well, he was right.

And, he gave me
a car as a wedding present,

and of course,
I didn't have a gift for him,

so... I decided to give up smoking.

And the day of our wedding,
I smoked my last cigarette.

Now was it hard to quit cold turkey?

Very.

And do I have to force myself

to resist the seduction of cigarettes?

Every single day.

But the mind is stronger than the body.

You just have to exercise willpower.

Now did you, get your wallet?

Yes.

I saw it, thank you.

Must have, fallen out
on the floor in the mudroom.

I found it,
and I left it on your dresser.

You have to be more careful, John.

I will.

I had such trouble conceiving
after you were born.

I thought maybe you
might be my only one.

Now I'll need some help with my jingles.

For my rally.

Girls are tired of the old ones?

What rhymes with "alimony"?

Good to see you, Phyllis.

You're in here?

I know.

Hard to believe.

Senior partner.

Fred's just down the hall.
I can take you if you'd like.

I can find it, thank you.

- Mazel Tov.
- Hey.

- Honey.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

Congratulations.

Yay.

We wanted to ask you
something important.

Will you please be the godparents?

- We'd be honored.
- All right.

All right! Come on!

As long as it doesn't
involve changing any diapers.

No.

- Yes.
- Big year.

It's a big year,
birthing a book and a baby.

Well, the baby
was considerably less work

and infinitely more fun to create.

Did Frank tell you?

He came up with the perfect
title for the book...

"The Male Machine."

Well... can't come soon enough.

We should send it as a Christmas gift

to every chauvinist
legislator in Illinois

that voted against us.

We'll get it done next year.

We should start talking
about raising money now.

- Dessert's ready.
- Let me help you.

♪ Can't let go ♪

Here. I got you something.

My, my old one works just fine.

I stopped by the
office to give it to you,

but you... you weren't there.

Thank you.

So if it's okay, I might have this one.

I did very well on the LSATs,

and I have decided to apply to Wash U.

Now it's close enough

that I'll be home
every night for dinner.

You really don't need to work this hard.

Lots of people don't want
the ERA to go through.

They won't let you fail.

one young man on our team to
maybe win the championship...

We're so excited to start a family.

That sounds boring to you,

but... I think maybe I'm more
conventional than I thought.

I've always wanted to be a mother.

You're going to be a wonderful mother.

I was thinking about hiring
Jules to do a photo shoot

for our next cover.

I wanted to check with you
first if that was okay.

Of course. Of course.

Why didn't you tell me?

It was just a phase. It's not who I am.

It's okay if it is.

What are you... are you gonna
call a press conference,

sit beside me and declare,
"We are all lesbians"?

Where's Kate Millett now?

We should coordinate
our fundraising trips

with Marc's book stops.

I might take a step back
from the public speaking and...

organizing.

I wanna get back into my writing,

finish my book.

Hey, it's starting.
