Man:

Mm-hmm.

(blender whirring)

It's crap. It's cra--
Could you just
turn that down a bit?

-Please. I'm trying
to concentrate...
-What?

on a very delicate
operation, here.

Blenders don't have
volume control.

Well, that's a pathetic excuse.
Just turn it down, anyway.

-(blender stops)
-Henry: Dad.

-Yeah.
-I did some research
last night.

-Yes?
-On golden doodles.

-Oh, God--
-And they don't shed.

They're hypoallergenic.

-No, no-- Listen, Hen.
-They're really, really,
really cute.

We're not having--
Tell him. Tell him.

-It's the dog thing again.
-But why, Dad?

We can't have a dog
because as I've said before,

all dogs make my throat
close up,

so no air gets to my lungs,
which makes me die.

So it's--
It's undesirable.

-But--
-Think of another pet.
You know, you can have a,

a cat, or a hamster.

Or-- I don't know what
kids have these days.

Have a, have a vampire bat.

(growls in frustration)

-Is that a promise?
-Yes. That is a promise.

Like the, the promise of...

a road trip, too?
Just you and me?

That's a low blow.
That will happen.

-Henry: Will it?
-It will happen.

Shit, my violin!

-Jonathan: Help me, please.
-What is going on?

I don't know why
I'm suddenly six years old.

Oh, God. All right.
Why the tie, hmm?

Not another funeral?

-It's The Turd's idea.
-Oh.

And no, no.

-Not all my patients die.
-Oh.

Why are you so dressed up?
What's his name?

Ladies' tea.
Planning the fundraiser.

Oh, school auction.
Did I mention I'm not going?

-Oh, did I mention you are?
-I think you'll find I'm not,
my love.

Isn't it enough
we give them tons
of money anyway?

We actually don't
give them money.

-Well, your dad does,
which is very sweet of him.
-Grace: Uh-huh.

Which reminds me,
we have dinner with him
next Thursday.

Right. So I have
Reardon and your dad
in the same week.

I'm just the luckiest girl
in New York.

-(Grace laughing)
-Don't you like Reardon?

Well, do you like Reardon?
You, you like your school?

-Yeah.
-Grace: Hey.

And I love it.
Go on, kiss your mom.

-We have to go.
-Mom--

No, I'm not kissing Mom.
You do it.

You need to clean this up.

I'm not doing this
every single morning.

No, no, I want to kiss you.
I like this.

Yeah. Right.

-Henry? Henry?
-Henry: What?

No more smoothies.
You never, ever clean up...

Jonathan: All right,
here's a question
and don't lie.

Did you, in fact,
practice that thing
at all this week?

Because I heard nothing.

No, I practiced.

-Really?
-Yeah. I swear.

Do you know,
he doesn't even
think I'm any good.

Mr. Rosenbaum.

He actually said that, did he?

No. It's not that he says it.

It just-- He used to say
a lot more good stuff.

I mean, sometimes
with the looks he gives me,

I-I think
he wants me to quit.

Well, is it possible that,
as your mom might say--

(imitating Grace):
You're actually
projecting that sentiment.

Because somewhere deep down,

in the bowels of
your teenage psyche,

you actually want to give it up.

I don't want to give up.
I love violin.

(in normal voice):
Okay, well,
that's great then.

You know, Rosenbaum,
he's an unhappy man.

It is never a good idea

to take measure of ourselves

through the eyes of the joyless.

Well, you can be joyless.

-Beg your pardon?
-Yeah.

You can be joyless
when you're--
when you're stressed.

Do I seem stressed a lot?

Some... lately.

Huh.

Brilliant. Well, now--

Now I'm stressed about
being stressed, so...

-Thank you very much.
-You're welcome.

You don't, you don't play
your violin for Rosenbaum,
anyway.

You owe him your respect
and your hard work,

but in the end,
your relationship with song

is between you
and your music.

-Got it.
-Right. And you're
brilliant, okay?

So fuck Rosenbaum.

-I'm telling Mom you said that.
-Take your violin,

and shove it up his
Rosen-bum cheeks, okay?

Dad...

-Jason: Morning.
-Morning.

Rebecca Harkness has arrived
way too early.

(whispers):
Oh. Great.

Rebecca:
It just doesn't make
any sense to me.

-Huh.
-One minute,
he's attentive, loving.

The next minute,
he's borderline abusive.

I got both swings last night.
The full pendulum.

And fucking forbid

I call him bipolar.
I mean...

Fucking forbid!

So you're back to
thinking that he's, um,
that he's bipolar.

I don't know.
The mood swings...

What do you think?

Well, I don't know him.

-I only know you.
-Meaning?

-Do not give me that look.
-This is your third marriage.
Isn't it?

(grunts) So, what,
we're keeping score?

No. No, I'm just...

-I'm not doing that.
-Okay, this is going somewhere,

and I'm not exactly sure where,
other than a direction

not in my favor.
So just say it.

-Say it! I pay you. Say it.
-Reb--

Rebecca.

I have met few people
more discriminating than you.

You read 100 Yelp reviews
before choosing someone
to install your carpet.

Am I right?
You, you try on
20 pairs of shoes

before making a choice.

You do background checks
on your hair colorist.

You did a background check
on me, no doubt.

You vet everything.
Everything.

-Which is fine. I mean,
that's appropriate.
-But...

But an attractive man
comes along,

and shows an interest in you,
and judgment be gone.

No. That is not
what is happening.

I mean, the day
that you met Kevin,

you floated into this office.

It was an appointment
that was made to deal

with the anguish
of husband number two,

only to declare that you'd met
husband number three.

So, I'm saying...

Maybe it's possible...

that you're less of a victim
of Kevin's moods than
you are of your own.

So, excuse me,
this is my fault?

-No.
-It is. You're blaming me.

I'm not blaming you.
I'm just saying
there's a particular

type of person that
you want to be with,

and maybe you're
a little too quick

to see that person
in the men that you meet,

instead of seeing
what's actually there.

(horn honks)

Grace (over phone):
UGH. WELL, I'LL PROBABLY
NEVER SEE HER AGAIN

BECAUSE THEY HIRE YOU
TO GIVE THEM THE HARD TRUTHS,

AND THEN, THEN THEY FIRE YOU
FOR DELIVERING THEM.

Well, just--
just up your prices.

The more exclusive you seem,
the more she'll come begging.

Wow. (chuckles)
I have some bad news.

The, um,

the dress code
for the fundraiser
is fancy-glam.

I'm not wearing a tux.

Grace:
LISTEN, THIS IS FOR
HENRY'S SCHOOL.

If I can tough out
a ladies' tea,

you can stomach one fundraiser.
For Henry.

I will do it.
But not for Henry's school.

I will do it for you.

Because you're hot.

Anyway, I'm here.
Okay?

Later, smart ass.

Yeah, later. Bye.

(doorbell chimes)

-Come in.
-Hi.

-Let me take your coat.
-Yes.

They're waiting for you
upstairs.

(laughter)

-Sally: Hello!
-Sorry I'm late.

-Not a problem.
-(distant baby babbling)

-We have a new mom.
-Oh.

A Scholarship.

She brought her infant.
She's changing her
in the bathroom.

You look fabulous.

-Oh, hi, Grace.
-Grace: Hi.

-Hi.
-Grace: Is she, uh,
on the committee?

Uh, wants to be
an involved parent.

Hi. Hi, hi. Sorry.

-Hey.
-Thanks.

Sylvia:
Did any of you even know
that she was coming?

I mean, I'm usually
the first one to
learn of anything.

People can't wait
to tell me stuff.

Amanda:
Because you're so quick
to disapprove.

Well, exactly.

Diane:
All right, we should
get going here.

Woman:
Sorry!

Sylvia:
She's a bit nervous.

She's back to being
the auctioneer.

Jolene:
I thought you got
the guy from Sotheby's.

Diane:
No, he dropped out.
We'll be fine.

-I've done this before.
-Hi.

Hi. Hi.

I'm Grace Fraser.

Elena Alves.
Nice to meet you.

-Hi.
-Elena has a boy
in fourth grade?

You said his name was Miguel?

-Yeah, yeah.
-Your baby's gorgeous.

-Thank you.
-Hello. Boy or girl?

Girl. Teresa.

Oh. Teresa.

-I love your eyelashes.
-Okay, come on, folks.

The auction's tomorrow.

Thank you so much
for letting me join.

Are you kidding?
We're happy to get
all the help we can.

That you even have the time
with two kids.

I have twins. So regret it.

-Jolene!
-(all chuckling)

I mean, they're
so much work, right?

Sylvia:
Okay, let's, uh...

let's rank the items.

-Yes.
-We'll start with
the least expensive.

Work our way up to the...
the big tickets.

Amanda:
There's a lot of stuff here.

Well, we have over 200
people confirmed coming.
That's a record.

Thanks to the Spensers
lending us their home.

I did a walk-through yesterday.
Oh, my God.

Mm. Did you see
the David Hockneys?

Two of them,
on facing walls
in the dining room.

-And what about Suki's closet?
-Oh, I'll get there.

Maybe Monday night,
with any luck.

-Yes!
-(all chattering)

Diane:
Okay, let's do this. Okay!

(clears throat)
We got four separate stays
in the Hamptons.

A pair in Vail and Aspen.

A cooking lesson at Tribeca
for eight.

You never know how much
those go for.

Amanda:
Stem-cell facelift.

Does anybody really
believe in those?

Jolene:
Kathy Sennot got one.
Did not work.

Sally:
We have a bunch of consults.

A college admissions counselor.
A pre-school admissions
counselor.

A genealogist that'll
come to your house.

-That could actually go.
-(baby crying)

Jolene:
I don't see any artists.
Where are the artists?

Sylvia:
Are you saying
we can't scratch up

one lousy playwright
in all of New York City?

Grace, maybe you could donate
a therapy session.

I am not doing that.
That is not happening.

Why not? "Do I hear $500
on saving your marriage?"

Uh, 500, and I will
throw in my husband.

Sally:
Grace, you know
what would be awesome?

I think Jonathan
would be a huge get.

You want to auction Jonathan?

-Sally: Well...
-Yes! I'm putting him up.

Uh, Grace's husband is a doctor.

-He was featured in
"New York" magazine.
-Oh.

Sylvia:
He's an oncologist, Sally.
Who's gonna bid on cancer?

Amanda:
A private, after-hours tour
at the Guggenheim.

They're doing the Salon
de la Rose Croix.

You know, I was just there
on Tuesday for the Chagall
exhibit.

I swear, I actually
felt light-headed.

Sally:
I don't really get Chagall.

Amanda (laughing):
I mean, who doesn't get Chagall?

Jolene:
Me. One minute he's a modernist.

Then it's stained glass.
The guy's all over the place.

If he were alive today,
they'd put him on Prozac...

(phone vibrating)

-Hey. Hold on.
-(phone clicks)

Tell me that wasn't odd.
My God!

She was just feeding her child.

Sylvia (whispering):
Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no.

There was definitely
something more going on.

-Excuse me.
-Grace (over phone):
LIKE WHAT?

Like she was...

Point!
Point your foot!

Like she was being
passive-aggressive about it.
You didn't get that?

No.

You know, I've seen her
at the school before.

SITTING ACROSS THE STREET
ON ONE OF THOSE BENCHES.

AFTER SHE DROPS HER SON OFF,
SHE JUST SITS THERE.

Grace:
WITH THE BABY?

Sylvia:
WELL NOW WITH THE BABY.
BEFORE WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT.

She wouldn't even be
reading a book.

I feel like telling her,
"You live in New York.

It is a crime not to be
frantically busy."
Who just...

SITS AROUND QUIETLY?

What an unfathomable
state of being.

Albeit with...
(laughs)

spectacular breasts.

-You're bad.
-OH, MY GOD.
THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL.

(whispers):
Up, up, up, up, up.

Up, up, tall.
Get your-- Tall.

-Shoulders down.
Shoulders down.
-(giggles)

Stop smiling.
Stop smiling!

(horns honking)

(siren blaring)

(kissing noises)

Elena, what's wrong?

Grace:
IT WAS HOSTILE.
IT JUST WAS.

But I don't blame her.
I mean, we were
talking about art.

We were talking about money.
It was, it was pretty vulgar.

And she was just
trying to say,
"Hey, here I am.

"I'm a real, real woman.
I'm a real mom.

I'm struggling, and--"
(clicks tongue)

I don't know. Sometimes I think
we should move out of the city.

Said the most New York person
I've ever met in my life.

No, but don't you
worry sometimes

that you're raising your son
in a bubble?

I thought that was the whole
essence of modern parenting,
isn't it?

Keep them protected from reality
for as long as possible

so that when they
finally emerge,

they can't cope
and end up self-harming.

-I thought we were doing
really well at that.
-Mm.

Wow. What about
Schenectady, huh?

-I've heard nice things
about Schenectady.
-It sounds horrible.

Even phonetically.

So, is this
a serious conversation?

Yeah.

Yep. Manhattan is
a lonely place.

I mean,
when you think about it,

we don't have a lot
of close friends.

Well, that's only 'cause
we hate everyone.

You hate everyone.
I don't.

I wouldn't call us isolated.

Our days are stuffed
with people and their problems.

I mean, we're right up close
with them at their most
vulnerable.

It's not a conventional
social life,

but in terms of meaningful
human interaction,

I would say we did
very well.

-Mm.
-I don't like you being lonely.

Grace:
Mm.

You lonely in there?

Would you like some company?

Would you like to be washed?

Grace, Dr. Fraser,
with his magic hands.

(Grace laughs)

Shall I get my rubber gloves?

-Come on. Come in.
-I'm coming, Grace.

Hi.

-Yes, yes. Of course.

How are you?

-I'm, I'm well. (laughs)
-Good.

Thank you so much for
making me feel so welcome.

The other women...

I don't know,
I felt like an intruder.

But you made me feel
at home. So...

-Thank you.
-(laughing)

Well, I know that, um...

Everybody was very happy
to have you there.

We need all the help
we can get. (laughs)

How can I help?

-'Cause nobody actually
made me do anything.

Um, I suppose...

because most of the work
was already done, and...

And you were occupied

Yeah.

But I want to be a part of it.

At school.

I really do.

I know.

I really do.

She was just standing there.

Naked.

We're nearly there.

The sooner we can get out,

Look, I've got that
early flight to Cleveland.

When do you get back?

Possibly tomorrow night,

but you know,
I do hate to forfeit
my Hyatt reward points.

And that's how you get
the complimentary breakfast,
Grace.

Okay, here we are.

Slump, dread, sob...

-Look at me.

Mm.

I'm very proud of my wife.
Come on.

-In Suki's clothes.
Both of us.
-Stop!

Make an Englishman happy.
Come on.

-Aah.

-You know what
I love about this?
-What?

You could never tell

It's all so classy

Sally:
Hi. We're ready to start.

Welcome, welcome,
welcome.

I'm Sally Maybury,
head of the auction
committee,

-for our wonderful
Reardon School!
-(all applauding)

-Woo!
-(cheering)

Sally:
We have a positively fabulous

afternoon in store for you.

Now, some of you
might be thinking,

"Don't I already pay enough
in tuition?"

-Woman: Damn right!
-(laughter)

Yes. Of course you do.
Yes, I feel the same way.

But, it is our responsibility

to make sure that
Reardon can accept

the students it wants to accept,

and that those students
are able to attend,

despite their financial
circumstances,

ensuring that the name Reardon
is always synonymous with...

-Diversity!
-(applauding)

Sally:
And of course,
we have to make sure that

our teachers are so well paid

that we do not lose them
to other schools.

-We love our teachers
at Reardon! Woo!
-(applauding)

Just not enough to
invite them to the party.

-Shush.
-Sally: Okay, now,

Diane Porter is gonna
start the party. Let's go!

-Woo!
-(all applauding)

Diane:
Before we turn to
our scheduled items for bid...

Observe.

This may look like
an ordinary glass
of tap water,

but it is much
more than that.

This is very special water

that will serve to
prime the pipes

to your generously
deep pockets.

-All: Aw...
-(laughter)

Diane:
What is the value,
you may ask,

of an ordinary glass
of tap water?

That depends.

What is the value of
your children's education?

The value of his
or her teachers?

The opportunity
of the less fortunate

to enjoy the privilege
of your offspring.

Who will bid $1,000

for this glass of water?

Who is gonna stand up
and clang that bell?

-Woman: 1,000!
-Diane: $1,000!

-Thank you. Money for our kids.

'Cause sometimes

And lost.

-Grace: Mm.
-I...

Do you ever feel that?

If you ever want to talk...

For free, uh...

I apologize.
I didn't mean it
to sound like that.

But if you do ever
wanna talk...

You're so kind.
Thank you.

And please,
don't be intimidated.

The parents at Reardon
can be a little, um...

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

But...

Most of them are very kind.
They're...

They are nice people.
Kind people and...

But you are the most kind.

It's true.

I feel it.

All right, our next item...

-Knicks tickets. Wow.

You can rub elbows

Hey, you never know.
They might even win the game.

All right. Who's gonna

-Thank you.

2,000, in the front. 2,500.
Do I hear 3,000?

Oh. I have a car.

-Oh. Oh, no, I'm...
-Please.

I'm in Harlem,

-Are you sure?
-Yeah. I'm sure.

But thank you.

Oh, hey. It's all right.

Thank you.

For your kindness.

(door closes)

Diane:
Do I hear 80? 80,000?

Gentleman in the front.
90? 90,000.

If we reach 100,000,

we'll donate a C-class
to a child in need.

(crowd laughing)

So what was all that?

What's going on with you

You are a very nice person.

I could give you

generally speaking,

money works best.

Shelby:
How 'bout $10,

you write my recommendation.

I don't know.
I don't know, Shelby.

I'd have to see

(horns honking)

-Grace: Henry?
-Uh-huh.

Come on. Have you eaten?

-Yeah.
-We gotta go 'cause I'm, um,

I'm late and I've got
an early session.

-Quick! Put those books away.
-Yeah. Okay.

Mom.

I don't think Dad
is actually allergic
to dogs.

I think he just says it.

Yeah. You're right.

It's not about being allergic.

He would never want me
to tell you this, so don't
say anything, all right?

Okay.

But when he was younger,
he was actually your age,

he was home alone,
he was taking care of
the family dog,

it got out of the house...

and it was hit by a car
and killed.

-Really?
-Mm-hmm.

I mean, it was very
traumatic for him.

And it was actually made worse
because his parents...

blamed him for it.

-What?
-Yeah. That's why
he hates talking about it.

What kind of dog?

Um... (scoffs)
What kind of--

I think it was...
It was a small dog.

That's what I know.

Anyway, I honestly don't think
he's ever gotten over it.

Quick. Put everything away,
would you? Let's go.

-Put your coat on.
It's freezing outside.
-All right.

Grace:
AT SOME POINT, YOU ARE
GONNA HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT.

The why of it all.

It had nothing to do
with us. Or you.

-Bullshit!
-Here we go.

So, what was it about, then?

Just sex?

If I had a clue,
I wouldn't be here

paying these
criminally high rates.

-We are paying these
criminally high rates.
-Would I?

Grace:
That's just a bit deflective,
isn't it, Joseph?

Is it possible that you were
drawn to the secret of it all?

Maybe more than you were
to this other man, Dennis?

The affair got to be
yours alone?

Michael couldn't know about it,
so he couldn't micromanage it?

I don't think that's it.

(phone vibrates)

-(Grace sighs)
-I'm sorry. Are we keeping
you from something?

I apologize.
This is my son's school.

It is programmed for
emergencies only,
so I do have to take it.

(phone thuds)

Now, you said that you knew
Dennis when you were single,

but you never had sex
with him then.

I wasn't even
attracted to him then.

No one was attracted to him.
He's not attractive.

-Okay...
-Grace: Exactly.
Then what changed?

Part of the thrill
of adultery is that

it exists in the shadow

of a primary relationship.

It's the clandestine part of it

that provides
much of the erotic jolt.

Could that have
been it here?

The lie?

What about the fear
of getting caught?

Maybe you wanted to get caught.

Why would I want that?

To show Michael that
he can't control you, after all?

I think this is more about
Michael and your marriage

-than it is about
this other man.
-(door opens)

(door slams)

He doesn't always love when
other people are right.
(chuckles nervously)

So you wanted to get caught.

I think I better check on him.

Of course.

I didn't know it was
Mrs. Alves till, um...

-Um...

Sylvia Steinetz.

She and I are part of
a committee at the school

She wasn't, um,
a patient of mine,
Mrs. Alves.

She was a--
She-- I mean,
I wasn't treating her.

How well did you know her?

Uh, not well.
As I said, she'd only
just joined the committee.

And you saw her last when?

Grace:
I saw her last night
at the benefit.

Mendoza:
And you didn't talk to her
after that?

-No.
-Mendoza:
Did you notice anyone

Mrs. Alves might have spoken to?

I mean, there were just
some men who were
paying her

special attention.

-What do you mean,
special attention?
-No, I mean,

the, the special attention
that men sometimes

-pay to a woman.
-Mendoza: Mm.

And what about
Mrs. Alves' husband?

Was he there last night?

Not to my knowledge.

I mean, I never met him, so...

Do you suspect
the husband of this?

Right now, we're just,
uh, gathering facts.

Would it be possible for us
to speak to your husband?

Um, well, um, why?

Well, he might have
seen something.

Oh. No. No, he didn't.

So you've spoken to him
since this news came to light?

No, but anything that
he would have seen,

-I would have seen, so...
-Where's your husband now?

He's in Cleveland.

He's at an oncology
convention.

Where's he staying?

Go on. (laughs)

Did your son know
the Alves boy?

Um, no. No.

I mean, they're...
They're in different grades.

Yeah, but it's kind of
a small school, isn't it?

That's what I read
on the website.
Small school,

individual attention.

That's why it costs
the big bucks, right?

What is the tuition there?

How much do you pay?

Um, it's...

-$50,000 a year.
-Oof.

Fifty grand. How do you think
they could afford that?
The Alveses?

I mean, I think
it was a scholarship.

But, I don't really have
any knowledge of, uh,

the Alves' financial
circumstances.

Are we upsetting you,
