Original subtitles

What's all this?

I'm doing all the costumes for Cooper's play.

What?

Nothing. I think you look real cute with your needle and thread...

Like my grandmother, darning a sock.

- Okay, just joking. - Not funny.

So any big plans today, birthday girl? Thought I forgot?

No. You know me, Luc.

I don't really like to make a big deal about my birthday.

- Just let it go, honestly. - No, but this one is the big one.

Yeah, so let me at least take you out to dinner.

You know, I've really gotta finish all these costumes.

I've got this headdress I've gotta do.

I set it up. Please. You have to come with me.

Just you and I. Great food, great wine. Please. It's important to me.

- Just the two of us? - Just the two of us.

Okay. Yes.

Do you want to call Sarah and sing "happy birthday" in a round?

It really annoys her.

- How bored are you? - Very.

Why doesn't this woman have a real coffeemaker?

- What woman? - The woman I rented this house from.

What's her name? Here you go... "Leslie Culpepper."

So how is it up in Ojai? Have you found yourself yet?

Not exactly.

But I have discovered that peace and quiet is actually very

quiet and peaceful as long as your siblings don't call.

What, country life, you like it? Don't tell me you're getting all

- "little use on the prairie" on us. - You know, I am.

I'm gonna start churning butter before you know it,

and I'm gonna grow one of those crazy, long ponytails down my back or,

- maybe a bun. - Are we singing of not?

Hello.

Stop that right there. The only thing more annoying than listening to you sing

- is if Kevin joins in in a round. - Hi, Sarah.

Hi, Kevin.

So, Sarah, how does it feel to be the older sister?

Good. You know, it's good.

- It's like any her year. - I can't believe how old we're getting.

Yeah, so, Kitty, how is it going up in Ojai?

You know, I actually think I like it. I mean, it's very simple.

People cook, garden. And you know what?

Nobody recognizes me here. I could be anybody.

It's like that summer at camp I told everyone I was a teenage spy.

My God. Souffl�.

I've always wanted to make souffl�.

I swear to you, this time, I'm gonna learn how to cook.

See you tonight...

Okay, listen, here's the deal...

No one is gonna talk any more about my

birthday.

- Why? - There'll be no presents, no flowers,

and absolutely no cake with candles.

- What are you talking about? - I'm just not into it this year, guys.

That's gonna be really hard, cause Luc is planning a surprise dinner for you.

No, he's not. We're just going out, just the two of us,

- very low key. - Wrong! It's at the restaurant,

- and we're all invited. - I'm sorry.

- I know how you hate surprises. - Okay, listen, you've gotta call him.

Call him, just tell him that you can't make it. You live up in Ojai.

- It's a good excuse. - What's mine?

- I live upstairs. - I don't know. You wash your hair.

I don't care. You're just, not going.

Wait a minute. You really don't want me to come?

Come on. It'll be fun.

Remember your 40th? I was so drunk.

- Yes, I do. That's the problem. - Why is it a problem?

Because...

Luc thinks today is my 40th birthday.

- I'm impressed. - My God.

You've been lying about your age all this time?

Yes. So, you have to keep your mouths shut, the two of you, okay?

Good luck with that, because you know at some point, sooner or later, it's...

- Are you all right? - No, you know what? Everything's fine.

It's just a little plumbing issue.

No. See? You didn't do this right. You just hit tab...

- And it automatically adds it for you. - Okay. Sorry.

I know back in the day, they did things differently,

but this is the 21st century you can throw out your abacus.

Yeah. I'll just

do that.

Sorry.

- Well, that was snarky. - Yes. Can I help?

I almost didn't recogni... You look fabulous.

Thank you. What are you doing here?

I'm trying to reinvent myself,

me and my abacus.

There are easier ways to reinvent yourself, you know?

My son in law. He's a genius.

- "Dr. Howard Brentley." - Yeah. A real artist, I'm telling you.

- You look amazing. - You know, I was losing listings

to all the younger, prettier girls in the office, and I thought,

if I want to compete in the workforce, then

what goes up, you know, must stay up.

- I never would've known. - It's like I woke up from a long nap.

Or a coma.

And my boobs, they're back up where I can actually see them again.

They're up where everyone can see them.

And look.

- You got your hands done? - No, silly.

I'm engaged to a really wonderful man.

We met on a cruise. He's six years younger than I am, but

who's counting?

So your whole life changed, just like that?

It's outpatient surgery. Couple weeks on the couch popping pills

and watching "general hospital", and poof! It's like magic.

You want me to see if I can get the good doctor

to squeeze you in for a consultation?

- Everyone's doing it. - They are?

Take back your power, honey. You won't regret it.

Dad, hey. Hold on one second.

They want an overview at the board meeting,

so I need those shipping reports, okay?

No, I gotta go. Okay, thanks.

- Is everything okay? - Actually, it's

- better than okay. - Here, sit down.

Yeah? What's going on? How's mom?

She's getting better.

She's never gonna get all of her memory back,

but I don't know, she's less frustrated now, so...

- Good. - I can't make any promises, but

I think she's ready to see you.

What? I mean, last time, she didn't even know who I was, and

she was so upset. The doctor said that...

I know what the doctor said, but...

- She's been asking about you a lot. - Really?

She, heard some stories about you,

and for whatever reason, they seem to have gotten through.

Yeah, I think she finally really grasps that she has a daughter.

- So I can see her, like soon? - How about tonight?

So what, did you tell her? What stories did you tell her?

Actually, it wasn't me.

Who was it?

It was Justin.

Season 04 Episode 03 Faking It

- I'll tell him that I don't feel well. - You can't cancel.

He's been working on this for weeks. He'll be so disappointed.

But you have to promise me, that younot let the cat out of the bag.

You know how you like to blurt things out at the worst possible time.

- I don't do that. I'm not a blurter. - You're a blurter.

I'm not a blurter.

I think I need more time to figure out how I'm gonna

break this to him gently.

I don't know why you let this go on so long.

Look at him, mom. He's an underwear model.

He wasn't an underwear model when you met him.

No, he wasn't. But he looked like one.

Forgive me if sometimes I'm a little intimidated.

You thought shaving couple of years off would you make you feel better?

We were in France. I thought I was never gonna see him again,

and it seemed a perfectly rational thing to do at the time.

Would you see who that is, please?

- Dr Brentley. Who's that? - Nobody. Just push the ignore button.

- You all right, mom? - Yes.

- You sure? - Positive.

You're dying, aren't you?

You are.

- You're dying. - I'm not dying.

All right. All right.

He's a plastic surgeon.

He said he would try to squeeze me

in this afternoon for a consultation.

And don't even start, missy,

with all of your wisecracks.

You have no idea how hard it is for a woman my age

to compete in the workplace. What am I supposed to do,

work in a flower show the rest of my life?

Or maybe I should be a wheelchair tester.

Is that even a thing?

I just want to feel better about myself,

and right now, I feel old.

It's okay, mom. I get it.

I mean, I really get it.

I used to be one of those women, who laughed at people that had work done.

Now it doesn't seem quite so funny.

- You're way too young and pretty. - Thank you, but

I'm supposed to be 40.

I was just thinking, maybe a little...

Really?

Maybe you should come with me today.

- Okay. - Great.

Coming.

You look different.

- It's probably my hair. - Yeah, maybe.

- Come in. - You know, I can't stay, actually.

I've been home for weeks, I've been calling you...

I really wanted to say thank you

for talking to my mother.

- Your dad say something? - He said it might be helping, so...

I'm going over there today to see her, and,

you know, I guess I'm just curious, what you told her.

Nothing.

- You're not gonna tell me? - You're not gonna come in?

We can't just go back to the way things were and pretend like nothing happened.

- Why? Why not? - You know exactly why.

I'm sorry. This was a bad idea.

I told her how we fell in love

from the moment I saw you, and how weird it was, but

I couldn't stop thinking about you...

And how I took you up on the hill, and we kissed for the first time.

Come in the house.

I can't. I'm sorry.

There isn't too much damage.

I should be able to get it up and working in an hour, two max.

That's great. Thanks very much.

Sorry it took me so long to get here. Traffic on the bridge.

Yeah, you know, I kind of grew up here,

- so I totally get it. - I thought you looked kind of familiar.

You've probably seen me at the farmers' market and...

But, you know, I wanted to just say thank you

for coming on such short notice, because

it definitely was kind of an emergency.

No problem at all. Anything to keep me from this other job I'm working on.

Renters from the city.

They walk around with those bluetooth things attached to their ears all day.

No, that is terrible.

I totally, know the type.

It's like they're so busy climbing that ladder,

they're missing out on everything else, the simple things, you know?

I know.

Before you know it, another beautiful day has come and gone,

and they haven't even noticed.

Sad, isn't it?

Yeah, it is. It is sad.

Agents, plastic surgeons,

movie stars. We get 'em all up here.

But the politicians are the worst.

That's a... Let's...

Totally fine, totally fine.

Just went down the wrong pipe.

I don't need to tell you. You grew up here. You know what I'm talking about.

I'm sorry. I haven't introduced myself. I'm Jack. Jack Randall.

And you are?

Culpepper.

I'm, Leslie Culpepper.

Nice to meet you, Leslie.

Would you mind handing me that wrench?

Sure.

Here.

Here you go.

Those are pliers.

- Right. - It's the red one in there.

Yeah, right. Of course. That's heavy.

Thanks. I really like what you've done with the kitchen.

It's very homey. I bet you get a lot of cooking done in here.

- Yeah. I do a lot of cooking. - What's your specialty?

I think it's probably, frying.

Yeah. I'm a pretty good fryer.

- I think you got a visitor. - You know what? That's right.

It's my neighbor.

He's probably looking for his cat again.

I'll be right back.

There you are.

What are you doing here?

I'd come up and check. What was the plumbing emergency about?

That's fine. No, that's totally fine. No, you're,

- it's all good, all fine. It's good. - Okay. Great.

You know how hard it is to find this place?

I've been driving around in circles for, like, an hour.

It's very, very sweet of you to come all the way up here to check on me,

but see, I'm, trying to find myself.

I can't find myself if everybody else is trying to find me, too.

- But I've just spent two... - No buts. Sorry.

But I need you to take your GPS and go back to wherever you came from.

- What was that? - What was what?

- Someone just said "Leslie." - They did?

- What? - There you are.

- You're all set back there. - Okay, great. Thanks.

- You must be the neighbor. - He is. He is.

- He's the neighbor, aren't you? - I am.

And sadly,

the neighbor, Kevin, has to leave, right?

No, I've got nowhere to go.

I hate that my face is so disorganized now.

It used to be so neat and sleek, everything in its proper place.

And now my cheeks are where my chin used to be.

My chin is down with my neck. It's just a mess.

I feel like I've been hanging in the closet too long.

Mom, this guy is really good.

That's what Celia says. She says he's a genius.

No, he is an artist. Check these out.

See how they kind of point up to the ceiling, like a Michel Angelo.

They used to be called champagne glass.

I had a pair like that before all you kids were born.

Kitty has them now.

Kitty might have got the champagne glasses, but I got the jugs.

Though lately, they seem more like a pair of old, empty socks.

Could we please

look at some pictures a little higher up?

Okay, how about "brow lift,

upper lid modification and contouring"?

Brow lift? I don't think I want to look permanently petrified, do I?

No. That's not pretty.

- Maybe just mildly surprised. - Stop it. You're scaring me.

I just want to feel pretty, that's all.

I miss the feeling that, when you walk by a man, maybe he'll

turn around and look.

And when that's gone, you just don't feel like you exist anymore.

Nowadays, if a man turns and looks at me,

it's usually to tell me I left my car lights on.

Which can be very helpful, because no one wants a dead battery.

True.

Biggest catfish I ever saw, so I says to Leslie,

"we'll have to take it home to cook."

Right there, she guts it, debones it,

fries it up in front of me. Damnedest thing I ever saw.

But that's just the way she rolls. Speaking of rolls...

Stop.

We don't want to bore poor Jack.

I should, probably get my things anyway.

I have another job to get to.

- You mind if I use your washroom? - Not at all. Not at all.

It's, right over there, to the left.

- What are you doing? - What am I doing?

- Yes. - I'm not the one

- who's Leslie all of a sudden. - That was an accident.

No, it was. He was going on and on about all the city people

who come up here and ruin it for everybody else,

and he said that the politicians were the worst.

For some strange reason, he didn't recognize me,

I didn't want to embarrass the poor guy.

And plus, I'm not so keen on being myself right now.

So fine. Okay? It was a two bird, one stone kind of thing.

The fact that he's smoking hot has nothing to do with it.

- What? - Don't pretend you haven't noticed.

- I'm feeling the chemistry here. - You're insane.

Kevin, I just buried my husband.

Okay, besides you,

there is no one who misses Robert more than I do.

But we both know that he left us a long time ago.

It is okay to think about the future.

You might not know that,

but I think Leslie does.

Okay. Well, I'm outta here.

- It was nice meeting you. - It was really nice to meet you, too.

- What are you doing tonight? - What are you...

- Why do you ask? - Leslie was gonna cook me dinner,

but now I have a thing, so she'll be all alone.

No, it'd be a shame to waste all that good food.

You know what? Don't listen to him. He's medicated.

No, he's right. It would be a shame.

Do you want to come back and have dinner with me later?

Sure. I'll bring, a bottle of wine?

- What are you cooking? - Yeah, what are you cooking?

- A souffl�. - Great.

- 8:00 okay? - 8:00 would be, great.

I'll see you then.

"8:00 would be great"?

I'm running a little late.

We have a party to go to.

I know. Five more minutes, and then I'll jump in the shower, all right?

- It feels good to paint a new color. - What was wrong with the old color?

Rebecca picked it out.

This one's called "elephant ear." What do you think? Is it different enough?

If not, I think I have one here

"Rainy sundays." That's a little depressing.

Excuse me. Would you tell me what's going on, please?

Rebecca was here.

- Okay, when? - A couple of hours ago.

- She didn't even come in. - Come on.

Give her a break. She probably was scared.

I know she was scared.

Believe me. I've had that same look on my face,

when you're staring at something that you know

you can't have but you have to remind yourself to resist it.

- It was like a test. - I'm sorry, Justin.

I hate being in this place to begin with, and now

all I see is her standing at the door.

I've changed.

The whole family keeps telling me that.

Why won't she give me a chance? Why can't she see that?

Maybe she will.

Or maybe you won't need her to.

Those things take time.

But I'll tell you, I do know this,

one day you'll wake up, and younot remember

what color these walls were.

It'll be just like they were elephant ear all along.

I wish it were that simple.

She'll be out in a minute.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

The last time I saw her, it was like we were complete strangers.

She's been asking about you every day for the last week.

I don't know if it's cause she's starting to remember you

or if she's just remembering the things

- we told her about you, but... - That's a big difference.

Yeah. We can hope.

Otherwise, you'll start from the beginning, build new memories.

- What should we talk about? - Start simple.

Talk about things from when you were young.

- Dance class maybe? - Ballet class?

You're here.

This is such a special occasion, I want to thank Scotty

for making it perfect.

Anything for the birthday girl.

Kitty really wanted to be here, but, she's got a lot going on up in Ojai.

Actually, it's nice just to have a small, intimate celebration.

It's good. I like it.

I'm going to get the next course.

Luc would you mind helping me in the kitchen?

Of course.

We'll be right back.

I cannot believe you're pulling this off.

You're such a good liar. She'd have made a great lawyer.

This is ridiculous. You have to tell him the truth about your age.

I will, mom. I will...

When I'm 80.

Or maybe next year I'll have my 30th. What do you think?

- It's Kitty. - I'm so glad she didn't come.

She would never have been able to keep her big mouth shut.

It's your fault. I can't tell whether this stupid thing is done or not.

I'm not allowed to open the oven. You come up here

and you starting filling my head with all of this stuff.

I'm putting you on speakerphone.

Now I'm having dinner with some lumberJack that I don't even know.

- Slow down. - Why I was gonna make a souffle?

- I coulda made a chicken. - Because it's perfect.

- Relax. How hard can a souffle be? - Gimme that.

It's okay, honey. I'm here.

How do you know when a freakin' souffle is finished?

I don't know. What time did you put it in?

God. I don't know. What, like three chardonnay's ago?

- That could be the problem. - Why is Kitty cooking?

She's changing it up, getting out of her comfort zone.

It's good for her.

Speaking of changing it up, you'll never believe where mom and I went today.

- Where? - A plastic surgeon.

You're kidding me. I want to get my eyes done.

- For real? - Which surgeon?

- That was our secret. - Secret?

Why do you have a secret with Sarah?

It's only Kevin, mom.

Stop it. Now stop it, Sarah.

I told you that it was private.

- Private? - Are you trying to embarrass me?

Not at all. I really didn't think it was such a big deal.

This isn't fair. I always miss all of the good stuff.

Focus, focus. All right?

Now listen, did you beat the egg whites until they were stiff?

I beat them until they were dead.

Then I think you should just... Take it out.

Really?

Okay. Okay. I can do that.

I can do that. Here I go. I'm taking it out.

Easy does it.

This is the fluffiest most beautiful thing

I have ever seen in my entire life.

- Honey. You did it. - I made a souffle.

I'm a souffle maker. I did it. I...

Wait a minute.

Something is happening. Something very weird

is happening. It's dying.

No. It's melting.

What? Is it... okay.

That's fine. But how do I make it stop?

I'm sorry. You can't.

- Who's Jack? - Can I come in?

- You're early. - Who's early? Jack?

Who's Jack, honey? Who's there?

Kitty, are you there?

Your neighbor still... Looking for that cat?

You haven't seen a...

a sort of a... a cat

named Kitty?

Everything okay in here?

Yeah, of course. Why? Everything's fine.

Okay, you know what?

Everything is not fine. Everything is so not fine.

You want to know something? I don't know how to make a souffle.

Something else? I don't even know how to work

- the coffee pot, you can believe that. - I believe it.

And you know what else? I don't live here. I don't own this house.

I'm one of the renters from the city that you hate so much.

I came up here to find myself like some sort of

"eat, pray, love" thing,

but now I've dragged you into the whole thing.

Right, and my name isn't Leslie. My name is Kitty. Kitty Walker McCallister.

Politician, right? The...

- I knew you looked familiar - Yeah, I'm sorry I misrepre...

- ... sented myself. - Classic politician move, by the way.

Okay, fine. Right. You're right.

You're right. You know what? You don't have to stick around for this.

Just... I'm just gonna clean up.

Are you sure? Cause I don't mind helping out.

Jack, you know what? Please. Please, okay. You know what?

I gave it a shot. I did.

I gave it a shot, and it just collapsed.

That's okay. What are you gonna do?

But you know what? I have completely humiliated myself enough,

so I would really appreciate it if you could just leave.

Okay? Hurry up before the bugs get in.

Okay.

Guess I'll see you around.

Yeah, see you around.

Come on, mom. I already said I was sorry.

Nope. Don't think she's talking to you.

Listen, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Everyone gets plastic surgery done these days.

Look, she's...

God, would you keep your voice down?

You have to tell the whole restaurant? It's been enough you told him.

- I'm not judging. - It's no big deal.

It's funny.

I'm glad you thought it was funny, miss 40 something with the model boyfriend.

But in case you hadn't noticed, I'm not laughing.

I don't mean to be insensitive.

- One day, I'll be as old as you. - That's fine, but you're not now.

It's embarrassing and humiliating be an older woman in this country,

where everything of value is young and new,

and I very clearly am not.

Hello. Sorry we're late.

What are you guys doing here? I thought you couldn't make it.

No, it's, my fault. Sorry.

I got caught up in my own crap, and I hijacked Saul.

- Rebecca stopped by. - Are you two getting back together?

- We're not getting back together. - Wait, stop. Give her some time.

- Is she still mad? - She's still mad at me.

Could you sit down together and apologize

This isn't something that we can work out with an apology, so drop it.

- Okay. Fine. - But, that would be a start.

Look, sweetheart, you have to talk all of this out.

That's what you have to do.

- Honestly, she'll come back. - She won't.

- How do you know that? - Cause we're divorced!

She filed for the papers while I was in Afghanistan. It's over, so drop it.

- Justin, I'm so sorry. - Just drop it.

You guys made it perfect timing, because...

Before we sing, there's just one thing I want to say.

All right, Sarah.

Il n'y a qu'un bonheur dans la vie,

c'est d'aimer et d'etre aime.

In english, there's only one happiness in life,

it's to love and be loved.

Bon anniversaire, mon amour.

40? Yeah, right, Sarah.

Like, 30 years ago.

Have I been talking too much?

Go on. I love listening.

These were the people that...

when I started working there, wouldn't even listen to my opinion.

Remember how excited you're when she got the job?

It was like they had this preconceived notion of who I am

because I happen to be young and female.

I know how that feels. Trust me.

Right. So...

I was just really excited when they finally got it

and they started to listen.

You must be really proud of yourself. I am.

Why don't I leave the two of you alone for a little bit?

Is that okay?

Yeah, it's fine. I'll just be in the other room.

You don't know how nice this is, just sitting here with you.

It is nice.

This may seem silly, but

when I was a little girl, I used to go to these dance classes on Sundays.

Ballet.

Yes. Yes. Ballet.

- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... - No, don't worry. I'm fine.

I didn't realize how much I missed this.

You know, all year, I just wanted to sit with my mom...

Talk about anything, even if it is a stupid ballet class.

Honey, it's okay.

I am sure you'll find your mother.

What? What did I say?

No, nothing. I just, I'm sorry. I just thought...

No, I upset you. Look at you, you're crying.

- Mom, I'm fine. - Why are you calling me that?

I'm sorry, but I still don't quite understand.

I know I should, but I c...

- I'm your daughter. Remember? - I'm not really doing so well.

I'm a little tired. What is going on?

- I knew this would happen. - That's Rebecca, Holly. Remember?

- I showed you the pictures. - Stop! She doesn't remember who I am.

- I'm sorry. - I should just go.

- I didn't mean to upset you. - Wait a minute. Wait.

I am so sorry. I'm sorry.

No, Holly, it's okay. It's all right. Come here.

It's okay.

It's not your fault.

God. I need a drink.

- Stop laughing at me, you. - I'm sorry. I think it's funny.

I never meant for it to go on so long.

I honestly didn't think we'd be spending a whole lot of birthdays together.

- Why not? - I don't know.

Girl like me, boy like you...

Excuse me. May I have a, whiskey? And make it a double.

Make it two, please. Thank you.

Sarah, I know how old you are.

- I've always known. - What do you mean, you've always known?

You do have a driver's license. You know that?

God! Why didn't you tell me?

I'm sorry, but in France, we don't talk about women's age.

It's not nice.

So I thought I would play along.

And I didn't know Scotty would write it on the cake, so... Sorry.

To you.

Okay, now I can go home.

Come on, junior.

It's past my bedtime.

Leslie.

I mean, Kitty.

God, not you again.

I was just grabbing a pizza down the road.

And I thought, she's not gonna eat that mess. No offense.

- None taken. - You hungry?

I'm starving.

Look at what you did. That is... but you know what?

You didn't have to do this. You really didn't.

You don't have to... Take pity on me.

Who said it was pity?

Thank you.

I opened up that wine.

- Would you like some? - Yeah, sure.

So I'm sorry,

sorry about the whole identity thing.

It just... I mean, yes,

in retrospect, it seems pretty crazy and...

I don't think what you're doing is crazy at all.

The whole "lying about your name" thing, okay?

But trying to be someone new, reinventing yourself?

That's kinda great.

Really?

Most people wouldn't have the guts to just take off, start over.

I respect that.

Do you ever feel that sometimes,

you missed out on being who you were supposed to be

because you're so busy being who everybody expected you to be?

Yeah, I used to.

Thank you.

I guess it's just time for me to try to figure out

who I was supposed to be after all.

May I make a suggestion?

- Let's cross "chef" off the list. - Done.

You happen to have any interest in carpentry?

Carpentry?

I'm supposed to build a pergola tomorrow.

And you're welcome to come along if you like.

You really think that I would be able to build, a pergula?

But then we could at least cross that off the list, too.

I see. You're a comedian.

Very funny.

He didn't tell us, not at all?

All that time, he just didn't say anything?

I think he was probably ashamed.

Also, I think he felt that he could get Rebecca back,

and then nobody would ever have to know.

But he tried so hard. These things happen.

- He had nothing to be ashamed of. - Yes, I agree.

And neither do you, I might add.

What does that mean?

I heard what you all were talking about when I walked in.

I went to see a plastic surgeon.

Why? Nora, that's not like you.

I don't know. I just feel...

I met William when I was so young.

It'd be one thing if I had a partner now

who'd known me when I was young, and we just grew old together,

someone who looks at me and still sees thgirl I once was,

who looks at the folds in my neck

and the puckers and bags

with a kind of... Endearment

because we'd gone through life together.

And that I don't have.

I think you're lonely, sweetheart.

And rearranging your face is certainly not gonna change that.

I couldn't think of anywhere else to go.

Come in.

- Here. - Thank you.

I like the gray. It's nice.

It was gonna be "rainy sunday,"

the color of our paint.

She was looking right at me, and she had no idea who I was.

I just can't believe this is happening, you know?

I thought she might be getting better.

You can't give up.

All right? You can't give up.

I already lost you. I can't lose her, too.

No, You're not losing anybody.

I can't. I can't do this. I can't.

We're divorced. I can't be here with you like that.

- Why not? - Cause it'll feel too comfortable, good

and I'll want to stay forever.

- What's wrong with that? - I can't trust you, Justin.

I'm a different guy than I was last year.

- How do I know that? - You don't.

You don't, but you can let me prove it to you.

You want to know why I haven't told anyone about the divorce?

Because you haven't either.

I know you haven't given up on us.

It's late. I should go home.

You are home.

Here. Some water.

No, thanks, hon. I already got some.

No. For your dentures.

You are so mean.

I can't believe you knew this whole time.

It is such an embarrassment.

Of course I knew.

Why are you so surprised?

I don't know. I just had an irrational fear

that if you found out how much older I really was,

then...

You... Might not want me anymore.

Why wouldn't i?

It's all great now.

What about in 20 years time?

You gonna still like older women when I'm 60?

I don't care how old you are. It's you that I love.

Luc, what if you change your mind?

You decide you want to have kids, a family of your own?

I won't be able to give you that.

You already have.

You are my family.

Paige and Cooper, they've become my family.

I meant what I said tonight.

The most important thing in life is to be loved.

Do you love me?

Oui. Je t'aime.

My goodness. Would you look at that?

My goodness, Evan.

Look at that. Look at that. They're perfect.

They're perfect.

I'm telling you, you're gonna love these, okay?

These were my favorite, favorite buns when I was a little girl.

Okay, I'm gonna teach you something very special.

This is what we call the drizzle.

Okay, are you ready? You do... you want to try?

You want mama to drizzle? Okay, watch.

Watch it go. Here it comes.

Drizzle, drizzle, drizzle, drizzle, drizzle, drizzle,

Yummy.

Yeah. There you go, buddy.

So here's the thing... Remember that we did this all by ourselves, okay?

And we're never gonna tell anybody that it came out of a can.

You got it?

Pinkie swear.

- Good morning, Zoe. - Nora, you're late.

No, I'm not.

I told you to come in a half an hour early.

- I'm sorry. I forgot. - Maybe next time, you'd write it down.

There's a truck out back. I want you to unload the zinnias.

Ask the guys to help you if you can't manage it on your own.

You know what? No.

What?

I quit, Zoe.

- I thought you needed a job. - Yes, I do need a job,

but not one where I'm treated like this.

Good luck finding a job in this economy and at your age.

- My what? - Let's be honest.

You were lucky I gave you this job. No one else is gonna hire you.

And why is that, Zoe, because I'm 63 years old

and look every blessed day of it? Is that it?

I'm just fine with that, because every baby I ever had,

every kiss I gave or got,

every tear, every glass of wine is right here on my face.

I own it. It's who I am.

And I don't want to be somebody else.

And you know what? I don't have to be,

because somewhere out there, there is a job for me

where my experience will be valued and appreciated.

So, Zoe...

I quit.

I'll be taking these with me.

You can take them out of my next and last paycheck.

Holly, are you here?

9... 1... 1. What's your emergency?

I have to report a missing person.

What's the person's name, sir?

Holly. Holly harper.

She's been missing since last night.
