[somber piano music]

- Hello Mr. Davidson.

- Ah, Felix.

- Another bucket of balls?

- Not today, hey,
Tyler's on his way home.

- Oh, is he gonna work
here again this year?

- Yeah and he's bringing
a friend from college.

- Sweet.

- I'm just gonna.

- Oh, yeah, yeah.

Does he play golf too?

- I haven't met him yet,

but we'll find out
this afternoon.

- Guess so.

- Okay,

I'm good.

- Oh yeah.

There you go.

- Atta boy, thanks.

[upbeat music]

- So the four of us are naked,
running through the town,

we have no idea which way to go

and all of a sudden
this look of terror

is just like stricken
all of our faces

and it's freezing outside.

- Hey Tyler, let's go.

- Sorry ladies, two seater.

- First, see if the victim
is conscious and breathing.

Second, call for help
in a loud, clear voice.

Help, help and third,

if the victim is not breathing,

check the mouth for anything
that may be blocking

the air hole, like an
apple core or something.

- Hey Birdie, why are
your dollies naked?

- They were swimming and
Lindsay almost drowned.

- Nakedness is nothing
to be ashamed of, Birdie,

but at the dining room
table, maybe they could

pop on some swimwear.

[upbeat music]

What's on your agenda, Nate?

- Ah, well, once
the boys arrive,

I thought I'd take them
for a round of 18, you?

- Well, Birdie has her
swimming exam this afternoon,

so I thought I'd take her
down the beach after lunch.

[upbeat music]

- I saw Jeffrey's penis.

- Who's Jeffrey and why
did you see his penis?

- He shows it to me under the
water at swimming lessons.

[Stacey gasps]

- Hey guys, how was the drive?

- Tyler, you're home!

- Hey Mom.

- Oh, Birdie, your
brother's home.

- I can see Mom.

- Hi, Birdie.

- Oh Chase, we've heard
so much about you.

Sounds like you two had
a lot of fun this year.

- Yeah, we did.

Nice place.

- Oh, we just summer here.

It's no palace, but
it has all the basics.

Oh, we're thrilled to see you

and I know Tyler is too.

- Yeah, thrilled.

- Come on in.

This is Tyler's sister Birdie.

- I've got a swimming test today

so if you need saving
while you're here,

I could probably do it.

[laughter]

- Cool, I'll keep that in mind.

- And this is Mr. Davidson.

- Nathan.

- Oh, of course, they
both are adults now.

You can call me Stacey.

- Hey Mom, where are we bunking?

- Oh you two are
in the guest house.

- It's a work in progress.

- Cool.

- Listen, Birdie and
I have to run off to

her swimming lesson,

so help yourself and
if you need anything,

just call me on the cell.

Oh, my sweet baby lamb chop,

so good to have you close.

Okay, okay Birdie, let's shake
a leg, let's shake a leg.

When you see Jeffrey's mother,

I want you to point
her out to me.

- So Mom's calmed
down a little bit.

What about you Dad,
you working today?

- Nope, new summer's resolution.

I'm gonna leave the
office at the office,

18 holes towards a more
relaxed, happier me.

[upbeat music]

[golf club whooshes]

[golf club whooshes]

- Alright, you're up.

Alright, man, you
just want to visualize

where you want the ball to go.

You wanna get in the hole, okay?

Now if you can get it
in in the first shot,

all the better, but most guys
gotta work up to it, okay?

Alright.

- I thought golf
was a quiet game.

- Hey, nice and easy,
keep it relaxed.

- Ty, knock it off, alright?

Let the guy play.

[golf club whooshes]

Good, good, you're a, good.

- That's what we
call shootin' blanks.

You gotta visualize the
cut, man, visualize the cut.

[upbeat music]

- Alright, here we go.

Just remember to
keep your head down,

'cause, ah geez, I'm sorry,

like father like son, huh?

[golf club whooshes]

whoa, okay, wow.

You got some passion behind
that, but, which is good,

but let's just focus
some of that energy.

Use that club to get you
pointed in the right direction,

there you go,

feet shoulder width apart,

nice and then put just a
slight bend in your knees,

a little less,

now just keep your head down
and let the club do the work.

[golf club whooshes]

Better, I gotta cross the
treeline to my goddamn ball.

- Chase, Chase, Chase,
what are you doing?

You don't wanna use that.

- Why not?

- Well, on the fairway
you wanna use a club

that'll give you a little lift.

- Uh, like a seven?

- Too much lift, try a three.

Okay man, just
visualize that ball

going in the hole,
nice and easy, okay?

Wanna watch that grip there,

it should be firm and
loose all at the same time

'cause you don't wanna
have a wussy shot, right?

- Okay, seriously
Coach, shut up.

[golf club whooshes]

- Four!

- Ay, whoa!

What are you guys doing,
you trying to kill me?

- Sorry!

Hey, I didn't mean to.

- You hit my dad [laughs].

You were a big target Dad.

- Sorry.

- Get your ball.

- You alright?

- I'm fine.

[upbeat music]

[water splashes]

- Welcome to the lake, dude.

- Ooh, that was chilly.

So is your sister's
name really Birdie?

- Ah, actually it's Barbie,

but when she was four

she hated it so much

that she changed it to Birdie
and it just sort of stuck.

- I thought you said that
your dad was uptight?

- Yeah, uh, he usually is.

Maybe it's like a midlife
crisis or something.

- He seemed pretty young to me.

- Yeah, well, you
have to remember,

I'm a product of
a teen pregnancy.

My parents had me when they
were still in high school.

Okay, okay, really?

I think we should
have a rule this year

that maybe you kinda
keep yourself covered up,

just as a courtesy.

You know, like a sock
or pants or a took

or a beanie, anything really,

doesn't matter, sort
of as a common courtesy

to me, I think it'll do
our relationship good

and also to the neighbors.

I think they might
appreciate it.

Cool?

[upbeat music]

- Bertie, Bertie,
this is your mother,

what are you doing?

Get away from that boy!

[water splashes]

You're coming with
me, both of you.

- Mom, you're embarrassing me.

- I'm embarrassing you?

I wasn't the one cavorting
out in the middle

of the lake in front
of the whole beach.

I suppose you're Jeffrey.

- I didn't do anything.

- Oh, I know exactly what
you did you little pervert.

- Excuse me, is
there a problem here?

- Yes, I'm handling
the situation.

- Well, I'd like to help
you handle the situation,

this is my son.

- Well, that makes sense.

This little nudist son of yours

has been showing my
daughter his penis.

You think that's funny?

It's a violation
of her childhood.

- I wasn't showing my penis,

I was showing a minnow.

- Minnow, for sure.

- Mom, he's telling the truth.

He was just showing me a minnow.

- This is unbelievable.

I don't care what
we wanna call it,

children of age should not be
sharing this kind of thing.

- Let's just relax.

They're kids.

- At this rate, not for long.

Grab your things
Bertie, we're leaving.

- Bye Jeffrey, sorry.

- Wow, what a spread.

- That's why it's so hot
in here, turkey in June?

- It's our first meal as a
whole family together again,

I thought it'd be
more appropriate than

throwing burgers
on the barbecue.

- I like burgers better.

- We can have burgers
another night.

How was your golf game, boys?

- Dad was playing
his usual game.

Up on the opposite fairway.

- Well, your father
does have a tendency

to go about things backwards.

- Whoa, whoa, what's
that supposed to mean?

- Nothing, it was
just a joke, dear.

- Okay.

- Chase, what do
your parents do?

- Um, my mom doesn't work.

- Oh, a stay at
home mom like me.

No wonder you turned out to be
such a respectable young man.

- Actually she's
nothing like you.

She's not exactly
busy being a mom.

- So does your father work?

- No, he died when I was five.

- I'm sorry to hear that.

- Can we eat?

- Yes, yes of course.

What was I thinking?

I'll light the candles.

[muffled dance music]

- So who's gonna be here?

- Ah, you know, lake
friends, my girlfriend Bre,

wassup Kimbell?

- Hey, man.

- What, girlfriend?

- Yeah, you know,
a summer thing.

Oh and it's Andrew's party,

so you can guess his nickname.

- Alright, game on Davidson.

- What's up dude?

- Not in my parent's
bedroom again.

- Anal Randy.

- That's o for one.

- That's my friend Chase.

- Hey everybody.

- What's up?

This is my buddy Chase.

What's up, this is Chase,
he's with me, okay?

- Beer bong.

- [All] Go, go, go, go!

- That's where the bathroom is.

- Bre Hamilton.

- You lose my number?

- I lost my cell phone.

Now do you wanna go to
the bathroom with me?

Hey Chase!

- Hi.

- Bre.

- Yeah, hi, nice to meet you.

- Um, Tyler's talked about
you all the time at college.

- Yeah, at college I'm talking
about you all the time.

- Tyler!

- Lunicki, oh, that
is not a mustache.

- You're so pretty.

- I know, right.

- It's so great to meet
you after all this time

hearing about you.

- You too.

You have to meet my
friends, Jarod and Christy.

- Alright, yeah.

- Hey, guys, look who I found.

Get in there.

- So, what's your major?

- Seriously?

- Yeah.

- Um, art, I'm a painter.

- Oh, you paint, that's sexy.

- Well, it's dirty.

- [Laughs] You're
funny and cute.

We should hang out.

- Yeah, for sure.

- They're ridiculously
cute, huh?

- Yeah, for sure.

- Yeah, every summer
they come back

and it's just like clockwork.

- Right on schedule.

- Well, Mr. Painter,

if you're ever looking
for a model or anything.

- I'm more of a landscape guy.

- Oh.

- I'm gonna get a beer.

- What?

- I'm gonna get a beer.

- Oh.

She will bite.

But, you know, if
you're into that,

hey, that's cool,

or if you're not,
that's cool too.

Don't know, don't care.

Beer?

- Yeah, one more.

- You're alright, man.

- Or you can stay at Chrissy's.

be a fun summer, huh?

Just the three of us?

Best summer ever.

[somber music]

[upbeat music]

[car engine humming]

Marty, hey come on,
first game, first dibs.

- I'm Chase, remember?

[golf cart hums]

- Hey.

- Hey.

You working today
or just goofing off?

- I just been doing laps
around the service road.

It's been working
out pretty well.

- Cool, feel like
catching a movie tonight?

- The girls are coming
over, hot tub night.

- The girls?

- Yeah, Bre and Christy.

- Right, great.

- Okay, I'm gonna go
take a nap at number 17,

then we'll switch,
I promise this time.

- Right.

[golf cart engine hums]

[somber piano music]

Um, ham and cheese
and coffee to go.

- Chase?

- Hey Mr. Davidson.

- Well hey, if you're having
lunch, come and join me.

So where's that partner
in crime of yours?

- Oh, he went for
lunch with Bre.

- So how's all the
manual labor going?

- You know, I'm paying
off my student loans,

so, no complaints, could
be a lot of lawn care

in my future though.

- What you mean, I thought
you wanted to be a painter

not a gardener.

- Well, yeah, I mean,
that's the plan.

So, Tyler said that
there's maybe an art store

around here?

- Absolutely yeah.

I think it's right around
the corner actually.

If you've got time,
we can head there.

- Yeah, that'd be great.

- After you're done eating.

What inspires you to paint?

- Every artist is different.

I just paint what I see.

- So no landscapes?

- No, take a picture,

people are more
interesting to me.

I'm gonna check
on some supplies.

[somber piano music]

- [Shopkeeper] Here
are your canvases.

- Perfect.

- Oh hey, you know what?

Let me get that.

- No, I can do it.

- It's on me.

It's on me, just pay me
back when you're famous.

- Thank you.

[somber piano music]

[birds chirping]

- Wait, hold on, okay,
now, back slowly,

wait, oh wait, wait, wait.

- Ow, one sec.

- Uh yeah, just sit
down, put your feet

close together again.

[laughter]

Let's go again, let's go again.

[balls thud]

[upbeat music]

[laughter]

- Okay, I'm no math wizard,
but I think we won by one.

- [Stacey] Oh.

- Nice.

- Blah, blah, blah, blah.

- I'm gonna take the
girls to a movie,

you wanna come?

- Uh, no, I'm good here.

- Alright, Miss Muffet,
time for your bath.

- But Mom.

- No buts.

- Yeah, just your
butt in the tub.

- [Laughs] See you boys.

- I bet Christy's
gonna be disappointed.

- Yeah, maybe.

- Oh, you already
have a girlfriend.

- No, it's just,

I already know I'm
not gonna be into it,

so I pretend and then
let her down, right?

- Oh, okay, Cassanova.

- I'm just saying, you know,

our interests are a
little too similar.

- Hey, do you want another beer?

- Yeah.

- Alright, cool, hey,
you know, come on,

I'm gonna show you the
best place in the house.

- Thanks.

- Pretty amazing view, isn't it?

- Yeah, good place to just sit

and watch life go by,

makes you wanna be doing the
things you wanna do, you know?

It all goes by so fast.

- [Laughs]

- What?

- You have no idea.

- I'm just saying, you know,

like, to leave my mark
somehow, make a difference.

- What would you wanna change?

- I don't know, stuff.

- Sounds like heavy stuff.

- Is it weird getting married
right out of high school?

- I don't know about weird.

It's just what happened.

- But do you ever wonder if
you picked the right person?

- No, yeah, sometimes.

Choices had to be
made at the time,

and you make 'em and your life
becomes your life, you know?

I sometimes wonder if I
had made different choices.

- Like what?

- Just different.

What are you laughing at?

- Nothing, you just,

you look like Tyler
when you said that.

- No, no, see, what
you mean to say

is Tyler looks like me.

I'm the original.

- Right.

- Morning.

- Morning.

- Dad, I can't believe
you get up that early

to go running,

at your age, shouldn't you
be knitting or something?

- Thanks, smart ass.

- Nathan.

- Actually, you
should try running,

the endurance might
help your golf game.

- Enjoying the work
at the course boys?

Are you finding it challenging?

- Mom, we're painting a fence,

it's not like we're using
our college education.

- I'm just trying to
show a little interest

in talking about
something other than golf.

There are other
people at this table,

maybe you'd like to hear
what Birdie has planned

for the day?

Would anyone like
some more waffles?

- Uh, we haven't
even started yet.

- Oh, we best get started
then, shouldn't we?

- Tyler, your mother's right.

It's polite to show interest,

otherwise you can
seem cold or frigid.

- Oh, sometimes
that's what people do

when the actions of others
seem erratic or unusual.

- It's difficult for someone
to attempt spontaneity

if they're greeted
with ridicule.

- Well, if you don't
tend your chickens,

they'll never produce
the golden egg.

- Okay, I get it.

Show a little interest, sorry.

Birdie, what are
you doing today?

- Mom doesn't like that
I've seen a penis so,

I have to start tennis lessons.

- That's great.

That's really great.

Great waffles, Mom.

Uh, every year I have to
paint this stupid fence.

- You think we should
have sanded it first?

- I don't know, I don't
think it really matters.

You know what, you really
need to call Christy.

- She's not really my type.

- Oh man, stop being such a fag.

You don't have to marry her,

just got gotta hit it [laughs].

- I don't wanna hit it, okay?

Told you, I'm not into it.

- Whatever.

- Just leave it alone.

- Don't worry about
it, I'm gonna call Bre,

I'm gonna set you
guys up for tonight.

- Tyler, stop, okay?

- Alright, man, what's
gotten into you?

- Listen, I should have told
you this a long time ago so,

if you're gonna be

mad and kick me out or whatever,

I'd rather it just be now.

- Why would I kick you out?

- 'Cause if you
can't deal with it,

then I don't wanna
hang around you either.

- Ah, you're not making a whole
lotta sense right now, man.

- Okay, we're friends, right?

- Yeah.

- So, it shouldn't
matter, but if it does,

I get it and look, I'm just,
I'm tired of pretending.

It's exhausting,

so, if you're gonna hate me,

just hate me.

- What are you talking about?

- Tyler, I'm gay.

- [Laughs] Oh, yeah right.

- Seriously, I am.

- Seriously?

- Yeah.

- Yeah right,
you're shittin' me,

it was a good one [laughs].

Tyler, I'm gay [laughs].

You're not, for real?

- Yeah.

- Real deal?

Are you sure?

- Yes, I'm sure.

- Holy shit,

my best friend's gay?

- Well, it doesn't mean you are.

- I know.

- So are we cool?

- Yeah, yeah, it's cool.

[somber music]

- Honey, let me
tie your shoelaces.

Did you have fun?

- Yeah, Jenna's really cool.

- Good, I'm sure she'll be a
positive influence for you.

- Yeah, she smells nice too.

- Okay, let's hurry.

We still need to get those
supplies for your burger night.

- I don't want a burger.

Jenna is a vegetarian.

She thinks that eating
animals is totally gross.

- Oh really?

Well that Jenna sounds
like quite the gal.

[somber music]

- I'll be in the car.

[car engine hums]

- Oh hey, you looking
for something?

- You scared me.

- Sorry, just taking a timeout.

- Just came in to get
some rags to clean up.

- Well, you better
use one to get some

of that paint out of your hair.

- Yeah, we were working
on a fence today.

I think I ended up with more
paint on me than the fence.

- It kind of looks like it.

You better clean up
for the barbecue 'cause

Stacey will have a fit.

- Mom, can I get my ears
pierced like Jenna's?

She has three
earrings in each ear.

- Birdie, just focus
on mixing that salad,

our guests will be here shortly.

We still need to make up
the hamburger patties.

- Mom, I can't eat hamburger.

- Right, Tyler, will
you go to the store

and pick up some veggie
burgers for Birdie?

She's decided not
to eat meat anymore

and if you see your
dad, can you ask him

to light the barbecue?

- Dad, you gotta
light the barbecue.

- [Sighs] Thank you.

- Hey Dad, oh, hey,
what are you doing?

- Just taking a moment.

- Man, you are getting old.

Hey, I gotta go get some
veggie burgers for Birdie,

you wanna come?

- Yeah, how 'bout
you drive, son?

- Don't mind if I do.

- Okay.

[upbeat music]

Still got it.

- I think I heard
something snap.

Oh by the way, you need
to start the barbecue.

- You're telling me now?

- Yeah, Mom said to
start the barbecue.

- Just drive, Jesus.

- Man, no more meat
for Birdie, huh?

She's so weird sometimes.

- Maybe she just
needed a little change.

- Yeah, but she's
always eaten meat.

- Maybe she never
really liked it.

- Yeah, I think once
she gets a taste,

she's gonna go back.

- I don't know, maybe
she'll be a veggie for life

and you know what,
maybe you should try it,

you might surprise yourself.

- No, I don't need to try it.

That stuff is gross.

- You okay, son?

- Yeah, well, no, not really.

Chase came out to me today,

like, he told me he was gay

and I'm okay with it.

I just kept telling myself like,

say the right thing,
say the right thing

and I don't know if I did.

[sighs] I guess it
doesn't change anything,

but it kind of changes
everything, you know?

I don't know, I just don't know

if I'm doing the right thing

or what to do now, you know?

- You know, I'd say,

do the same thing
you did yesterday.

- What's that?

- You're his best friend, right?

- Yeah.

- Just keep being that.

- Yeah.

[Birdie screaming]

- Birdie, what are you doing?

Is that boy chasing
you with a water gun?

Did he get you?

No, you got away from
him, pretty good.

- So, you play a
round today, Nathan?

- Oh, we are not talking
about golf today, Jim.

We're talking about
other interests.

- Bad game?

- Dude, you had
three double bogies,

multiple foot wedges
and you kind of

look like A Rod.

- Okay, thanks Felix.

That's great.

No, no, we have a new
family policy in the house.

Stacy introduced
it this morning.

- I was only pointing
out that sometimes

it's nice to include other
people in the conversation.

People like Birdie and
me who don't play golf.

- Well maybe both of
you should take it up.

- And then right when
the fireworks started,

he asked her to marry him.

Isn't that amazing?

- Amazing.

- [Laughs]

Did you want a beer?

- Would you mind?

- Oh, okay.

- How about a little
football instead?

- Thank you.

[somber music]

- Remind me of us
when we were that age.

- Yeah, a little.

I better grab some more burgers.

- Uh, so let's see
that good arm of yours.

Well you ain't no
Terry Bradshaw.

Ah, you might be a Lynn Swann,

but let's see if
you're a Franco Harris.

- I don't really know who
any of those guys are.

[meat sizzles]

- Well, today, Birdie
started her tennis lessons.

- That's great.

- Ah, maybe.

- Maybe?

- Well, she seems
to have developed

quite a fascination
with her coach.

I don't know if it's healthy.

- I'm sure he's harmless.

- She looks harmless,

but that's all Birdie
can ever talk about,

since the lesson, it's
Jenna this, Jenna that.

- Mom, I've got a
man-crush on Brad Pitt,

it doesn't mean I'm gay.

- [Stacey] I just want her
to have a normal childhood.

- I don't think
it's bad to be gay.

- I didn't say it was bad.

I just don't think I want
Birdie to be like that.

Life would be easier
for her if she wasn't.

- Well, I sure as hell
wouldn't want any son of mine

growing up queer.

- Jim.

- [Jim] Well I wouldn't.

- Birdie can be anything
she wants to be.

I just, I'd prefer it
if she wasn't a lesbian.

- Okay, wow, am I hungry.

Good thing we're not
talking about golf.

Hey, Birdie, come and
get your veggie burger.

[somber music]

- Hey.

- Hey.

- You okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- You know what my mom
says fine stands for?

Fucked up, insecure,
neurotic and emotional,

so, are you fine?

- Pretty much.

Your mom said that?

- Yeah, she'd been
drinking at the time.

Hey, that Jim guy's an idiot.

I mean, he doesn't know
his head from his ass

and my mom, she wasn't thinking,

it'd be totally
different if she knew.

[somber music]

- Kind of like being a spy.

- What is?

- Being gay,

'cause nobody knows
until I tell them.

People will be brutally
honest because they

think nobody's listening.

- Why didn't you tell me sooner?

- 'Cause I didn't know
how you'd take it.

If you'd be cool
seeing me with a dude.

- That does sound weird, a dude.

I love you, man, you
know, like a brother,

not like, you know?

- Yeah, I know, no sword fights.

- Right.

- I love you too.

- Maybe we can find a more
macho way of saying it,

you know, something
a little more manly.

- Go Steelers?

- Yeah, go Steelers is good,
I like that, I love that,

let's use that from now on,

go Steelers.

Wow, I've never said I
love you to a guy before.

- Yeah, me neither.

[somber music]

- Good talk.

- [Birdie] Can I get my
ears pierced like Jenna's?

- [Nathan] You know we'll
have to talk with mom.

- How come Chase is staying
with us this summer?

Why doesn't he spend
summers with his own family?

Brian said it's probably
because his parents hate him.

- No, that's not true, Pickle.

See Chase, well his Dad died
when he was just a little boy

and he doesn't really
get along with his mom,

so this summer, we're
like his family.

- Can I please get my
ears pierced tomorrow?

- We'll talk about
it in the morning.

[lips smack]

[Birdie giggles]

Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- Alright, oh, hey, hey,

let's play for fun, Chase,

you don't gotta get too close.

Oh hey, I forgot to tell you,

my gramma invited us all
over for the weekend.

- Oh yeah?

I've had my fill of social
gatherings after the barbecue.

I think I'll just
stick around here.

- Alright.

It's pretty fun though,

we start drinking at
breakfast over there.

So what's the deal, you
all of a sudden scared

to get naked in front of a
heterosexual or something?

- Whatever, dude,
I'm not scared.

- Well, why you being so
prissy with the towel, then?

- Why are you watching
how I dry myself?

- I'm not, it's just
usually you parade around,

jingly your janglers
all over the place.

It's hard not to get an eyeful.

- So is it different
now, between us?

- No, I'm just saying, usually.

I'm thinking of all
the times, is all.

- So it is different.

- Well, kinda.

- Alright, sorry to
interrupt your programming,

show's back on schedule.

- I don't want it back
on schedule, okay,

I still got reruns
playing in my mind.

- No, you want it,
you got it pally.

- I don't want it, I
want it to stop, okay?

I'm pointing out the difference,
I like the difference.

- The parade's back
on, rain or shine.

- I don't want the parade.

[somber music]

- What does gay mean?

- Who told you that word?

- Mom, that's not a bad word.

- I never said it was, I
asked her where she heard it.

- Brian says he thinks
Tyler and Chase are gay.

- Brian?

What does he know,
he's like eight.

- I'm eight.

- I know, Birdie,

but gay is not a
bad thing, okay?

- So, what is it?

- Well, sometimes a guy
will fall in love with a guy

and a girl will fall
in love with a girl.

That means they're gay.

[upbeat music]

- I love Jenna, my tennis coach.

Am I gay?

- No.

- You could be.

- But you probably aren't.

- It has to do with love and

other stuff, Birdie.

- Like sex?

- Oh, no.

- It's okay, Mom, I know,

Jeffrey told me all about it.

- I'm sure he did.

- But how do two boys do that?

- Remember our rule to
not talk about golf?

Well, I'm changing that.

We can all talk about golf,

especially tonight
with your grandmother

and then after the
weekend, Birdie,

we're gonna learn how to play.

- Oh yeah, Mom, that's great.

Nothing straighter
than two lady golfers.

[knock at door]

- Hey Chase.

- Nathan.

- You wanna grab
some dinner later,

I mean, I can't
cook like Stacey,

but pretty mean with a barbecue.

- Yeah, barbecue sounds good.

- Alright, you just come
by when you're ready.

- Okay, see you in a bit.

[somber music]

- Hello, sweetheart.

- I saw Jeffrey's penis.

- [Gramma] You did?

They're weird looking
aren't they, Birdie?

- They look squishy.

- Sometimes they are.

- Mom, please.

- She's gonna find out one day.

Besides, there's nothing
wrong with a little education.

- Oh hey, you're right on time.

I hope beer's okay.

- Yeah, perfect.

- So did you hang
out with Jarod today?

- What?

- Oh, you guys are
friends, right?

I mean, I saw you at the
barbecue the other night.

- Oh, yeah, right.

- Chase, Tyler told me.

- Right,

I figured he would.

- Were you scared to tell him?

- Yeah.

I mean, you never know how
people are gonna react, right?

- Yeah.

- So,

how 'bout you?

- Things were different
twenty years ago.

I should stop talking.

- Steaks look good.

[soft string music]

- You know what, you
should probably go.

[somber music]

- Okay, Birdie, let's go.

We're leaving, come on.

- Why do we have to leave early?

Gramma's is always so fun.

- [Stacey] Yeah, it's a riot.

- Hey.

I was just making a
sandwich, you want one?

- No.

Chase, I think that I'm--

- I know.

Everything's gonna be okay.

- I don't have
anyone to talk to.

- It's alright.

I'm here.

25 years I've been waiting
for you like this, thank you.

- It's alright.

- This is better than alright.

[giggling]

[car door slams]

Shit, someone's here.

- Hey, you're back early.

- I love my mother but
one night is enough.

You're shivering,
out of hot water?

- Yeah, yeah, I'm just
checking the pilot

on the hot water tank.

[water splashes]

- Hey.

- Hey, what's up?

- I'm just swimming.

- Yeah, a night swim.

Uh, I love coming
out for a night swim.

Hey, how's the
weekend with my dad?

- It was good.

- Kind of boring I'm sure,

a lot of golf talk.

You should have come
to my granmma's, dude.

We started drinking, she
had mimosas there at nine,

there was wine by 11.

Yeah, look at this place.

It's crazy out here, right?

- Totally.

- I'll race you.

[water splashing]

[birds chirping]

- Chase, good morning.

Can you come here for a minute?

I wanted to talk to
you about something.

- Okay.

- When were you gonna tell me?

It must have been
terrible to feel like

you had to keep it
secret like that.

I'm sorry for what I said
at the barbecue, Chase.

I hope you can forgive me.

Have a good day.

- You too.

[somber music]

- Honestly, at this rate,

we're never gonna
get to eat breakfast.

- We can't eat
until it's finished.

- I don't know Birdie.

Just 'cause I go to college,

doesn't make me smart.

- Oh, you should
ask your father,

he'll probably know.

- Ask him what?

- Dad, what's a 10
letter word for bond?

- Hmm, investment?

- Investment doesn't work.

- Okay, I gotta go,
I'm gonna be late.

I need to get Chase,
he's been working

on that painting 24/7.

I'm gonna take this to go.

- Here, let me make
you up a plate.

- So what are you
doing today, Daddy?

- Well, I gotta
do some paperwork

and then I'm gonna play
a round of that game

we're not allowed to mention.

- I still need a 10
letter word for bond.

- Uh, try commitment.

- C-O-M, is that
one M or two M's?

- I changed the rule.

- What's this,
it's two m's kiddo.

- M-E-N-T, it works
Daddy, you got it.

- We can all talk about
golf, as much as we want.

- Golf, golf, golf,

balls, balls, balls.

- You know, I've been thinking.

Maybe it would be good for you

to spend some time with Chase.

- He's gay.

- I know, Tyler told me.

- Did you talk to him about it?

- Yeah, a little.

- I just think he needs
all our support right now.

- Okay, yeah, I'll talk to him.

- Golf, golf, golf.

- [Stacey and Birdie]
Balls, balls, balls.

Golf, golf, golf,
balls, balls, balls.

[Stacey giggles]

- Chase!

- Hey.

- Where's Tyler?

- He's working on the back nine.

Do you have a minute to talk?

- I'm kinda talking right now.

- You know what I mean.

[somber music]

Hey, Nathan, stop.

- Um, didn't Daddy ever
ask you to come play?

- No,

when one man and one woman
are married to each other

sometimes they need
some time apart.

That's what golf
does for your dad.

Ooh, and his car and his office.

Oh, I have my scrapping
and I love to cook.

[suspenseful music]

Hang here for a minute.

Birdie, grab your
golf clubs, let's go.

We're leaving.

- Nathan, not here, okay?

- You're probably right,

but I can't stop
thinking about you.

- What were those men
doing in the bushes?

- Oh, probably looking
for a lost ball.

[keys jingling]

How was your day?

- [Nathan] Good, yours?

- Fine.

How's Chase?

- [Nathan] I think
he's gonna be okay.

- Hmm,

and how 'bout you?

Are you gonna be okay?

- [Nathan] I don't
know what you mean.

- Really?

- What's this about?

You asked me to spend
more time with Chase,

why are you so upset?

- Oh, I'm not upset.

- [Nathan] Stacey,
you're half drunk.

- I saw you.

- Excuse me?

- At the golf course with Chase.

I saw you kiss him.

What else have you done?

- N-Nothing

- Don't lie to me, Nathan.

- This is--

- Crazy?

Are you about to call me crazy?

I'm a perfectly sane woman

dealing with completely
irrational behavior.

In case you've forgotten,

this is our life
you're toying with.

Now tell me what happened.

- What you saw with
Chase was an accident.

- Oh, an accident.

- It didn't mean anything.

- Cheating on your wife,
that is not an accident.

Have you always liked men?

- No,

yes, I don't know, Stacey.

- Are you gay, Nathan?

- I don't know.

- Yes you do.

Are you?

- Yes,

but I loved you.

You know what I mean.

- Actually, I don't.

That is why we're having
this heart to heart.

Why did you marry me

and you knew that
you'd be living a lie.

- This hasn't been a lie.

What happened with Chase,

it was the first time.

I have never been
with a man before.

- Oh, so you chose a boy.

- Stacey.

- Your son's best friend
to experiment with.

- Stop.

- No, I won't stop.

I tried in vain to
be the perfect wife,

but it didn't matter, did it?

Don't you understand, Nathan?

I don't care that you're gay.

I chose this life with
you and with everything

that comes with it.

Why didn't you talk to me?

- Stacey, I just couldn't

and if you knew all along,
why didn't you just leave me?

- Because I love you, Nathan

and I thought that
eventually you'd tell me

and that I could tell
you it was alright,

that I don't care,

that we could keep
everything we have

and we could just go on.

- Pretending.

- But you slipped.

- I'm sorry, it just happened.

I didn't plan it.

What are we gonna do?

- I don't know what
we're gonna do, Nathan,

but I know I'm gonna
start by telling

Chase he's leaving.

- Stacey, don't, please.

Just let me handle it.

- Handle what?

[can tab pops]

Hey mom, what's for dinner?

- Everyone's on
their own tonight.

- Okay.

[sad string music]

[dramatic music]

[Stacey sobbing]

- Hey.

- Nathan, look, I've
been thinking and I--

- Chase,

Stacey knows.

She saw us this afternoon
on the golf course.

- Shit.

- Chase, this isn't your fault.

If I'd have come
out 20 years ago,

none of this would be happening.

- If Tyler finds out.

- He won't.

I'll fix this.

- I don't even know
what I was thinking.

- It's okay.

- What about you?

Are you gonna be okay?

- As good as I ever was,

maybe even better.

Thank you.

[door squeals]

- Dad?

- Son!

- Tyler!

Tyler, it's not
what it looks like.

- Okay, what is it, huh?

- Hey, this isn't his fault.

- So it's your fault?

Who is that, I don't
know who that is.

- Tyler, come on.

- Don't fucking touch me.

- Enough!

- What are you doing?

Why did you do this?

- Why is everyone yelling?

[somber music]

- [Tyler] Why wouldn't
you just leave, Dad?

- Because your
mother was pregnant.

- So it's my fault?

- Nothing is your fault, Tyler.

- So this, all
this, this is just,

my family, my parents,
it's just a lie?

- It's not a lie, Tyler.

I love you, I love your mother.

I just had other feelings.

- So my best friend's a fag

and also my dad's a fag too?

- I know this is
difficult for you, Tyler.

- Why are you
sticking up for him?

Why don't you kick him out?

- Birdie.

- I'm hungry.

- Oh, alright, sweetheart.

How about some pie?

I think we should all
have a piece of pie.

- Ooh, hey, kiddo.

- Are you okay, Daddy?

- Pie, huh?

- I like pie.

- This is,

Dad this is bullshit.

[somber music]

- I like it.

I'll have Tyler's piece.

[somber music]

[knocks on door]

- I'm sorry, but I still
can't believe this.

Anybody call Jerry Springer yet?

- Honestly, man,
I don't even know

how it got to that place.

Are you sure it's
okay if I stay here?

- Well, you won't be staying
with Tyler any time soon.

You're not the only
one who made a mistake.

[somber music]

- Hi Mom.

- How did you sleep?

- [Sighs] Not so good.

- It's gonna be fine.

- Yeah, so much for the
perfect family, huh?

- Perfect is overrated.

- I just don't know
how I'm gonna look

at him again, you know?

- Oh, he's having
a hard enough time

looking at himself,

but he's still your dad.

- Did you know?

- You can't blame a
person for who they are.

- Where did Chase go?

- Well, he's gone to
stay someplace else.

- Did he and Tyler break up?

- Tyler and Chase
were never dating.

- But they loved each other.

I could tell.

- They loved each other
like good friends,

and right now they have
some issues to work out.

- Because Daddy kissed Chase?

[somber music]

- Yes, Birdie.

Because Daddy kissed Chase.

[somber music]

[water lapping]

- Have you seen him yet?

- Who?

- Come on, man.

It's been over a week.

- I'm pretty sure
I'm the last person

he wants to see.

- It's not gonna get
better all at once but,

you gotta start somewhere.

- I think this is
one of those things

that just doesn't get better.

- I mean, what's the
worst that's gonna happen?

- Hey, oh, Tyler's here.

- Chase beat you in by
an hour again today.

- I'm not supposed to
be here until eight.

- He's been here at
seven every morning

working the back nine.

- Where are you gonna be today?

- Anywhere but the back nine.

[somber music]

- Hey.

- Hey.

- So I shot an 81 yesterday.

- Atta boy.

- I finally shot a par
on number eight, so.

I know that's the hole you
were having trouble with.

- Yeah.

So you talk to Chase yet, son?

- No, there's nothing to say.

- I know what I did was stupid.

Okay, really stupid.

What happened with
Chase wasn't his fault.

It doesn't change the fact that
I love you very much, Tyler.

[somber music]

[crickets chirping]

- It's killing you, isn't it?

- Obviously.

- Well, I can tell.

You haven't tried to
make out with me yet

and we've been here
what, 10 minutes?

- Oh, Bre, come on, I can't
stop thinking about it.

It's liked ingrained in my mind.

I mean, why would Chase
do that to me, right?

What the hell was he thinking?

What was my dad thinking?

- They obviously
weren't thinking.

- So that makes it okay.

- Tyler, this isn't about you.

I mean, try to imagine
how hard it must have been

for your dad.

Maybe Chase was supposed
to be here this summer

and if your dad is gay,

he still deserves to be happy.

- How can my dad be gay?

- Chase and your dad are
still the same people.

- Why though?

Why would Chase do that to me?

- I can't answer that, Tyler.

Maybe you should ask him.

- Well, we could still make out,

I just, you know.

[somber music]

- I know you've made sacrifices

and so have I,

but Bertie's only
eight years old

and she needs both of us

so we can't make any promises,

all we're gonna
have to do is try.

- I'd like that.

Thank you.

- I've been thinking
what it would be like

to see you with another person.

- It'd be pretty
weird, wouldn't it?

- I guess even though I
suspected you might be gay,

when you told me we'd
still be together,

I didn't think that meant
we'd be with other people.

I guess that wouldn't
be fair, would it?

- Not to either one of us.

I mean, you deserve to
be with someone else too.

- Oh, I can't even
think about that.

- I love you Stacey,
you know that, right?

- I know,

but I just can't
imagine what our life

is gonna look like.

I mean, are we still
gonna live together?

Do we get separate rooms?

Maybe you should go back home

at the end of the summer
and I should stay here.

- Yeah, I don't
think we have the

answers to those questions yet.

We need to be there for Birdie

and the rest, I think we
take it a day at a time.

[birds chirping]

- Looks great.

- [Sighs] It's getting there.

- Nah, it's there,

but I'm feeling for
some beach right now,

what do you say?

You ready?

- Yeah, let's do it.

- Alright, meet you out front.

[upbeat music]

[water lapping]

- Hi.

- Hey, how's it going?

[somber music]

- Tyler, I'm sorry.

- If Mom and Dad break up,

I'm scared I'll never
see them again either.

- Well, they might not split up.

They might stay together.

They don't know yet, they're
still talking it through.

- I think that's what
you should do with Chase.

[somber music]

- [Birdie] Everyone, come look.

- [Stacey] So you're
going, aren't you?

- I just need to
figure this out.

- And you need your
space to do it in.

I know.

I guess we're just gonna
have to tell the kids.

[somber music]

- Come here, kiddo.

- I don't want you to go, Daddy.

- We will see each
other all the time.

I promise.

[somber music]

- Where are you headed?

- Uh, bus stop.

Jarod called me, so.

- Hey,

I love you, son.

- I love you too, Dad.

See you Dad.

Jarod called me.

- I thought he might.

- Well, my dad left.

- I'm sorry, man.

- Yeah, me too,

but I know now it's
not your fault.

- Thank you.

- [Sighs] Okay, enough with
that sentimental crap, right?

I'm terrible at it.

- You don't do too bad.

- Really?

- Well, yeah, for
a straight guy.

- Hey, well that's good to know.

Well, um, take care
of yourself, man.

- You too.

- Hey, go Steelers, right?
