[Davenport]
Recently, uh...

I don't know, I've been taking
some time to, uh,

meditate on death

and the remains of

mortal objects.

Skulls, bones, I managed
to spend a day in a morgue.

And I'm not gonna tell you

how I convinced them to let me
linger there, but they did.

And that's another story.

But, uh,

I believe with a creative life

that, uh,
contemplation of mortality

is essential meditation.

Consider the way the feces
from all the animals

and rotting carcasses
of all dead creatures

feeds the planet,

and bring about new life.

So death
is in a fundamental way...

creative.

And to die
is to feed the environment

with a life giving force.

[light music]

[bird chirping]

Let's meditate on the idea

of a building.

Is it bricks and mortar?

Is it steel and glass?

Imagine a day

when the walls
and the structures

that we live in
grow and change organically

around us,

according to carefully
calculated algorithms.

Now, you could stop
at the basement renovation,

you'd still have
the income suite.

But I think the coach house
would have

an enormous long term value
to the property.

I don't know,
but it is a little pricy.

Well, perhaps we can
reduce the surface area

for you guys in here.

-[clatters]
-[Jonathan] Oh!

Doesn't seem very solid either.

Well, uh, that...
that was a model. Uh, the...

the actual final result
would be more durable.

Yeah, you know what, Jonathan,
we actually have to go.

I'm sorry, the sitter's gonna be
at the house

-in 15 minutes.
-Ah, that's right.

We have to go, Glenn.

You've given us a lot
to think about.

-Great.
-Um, we'll touch base next week

-and see where we're at.
-Okay. Yeah, of course.

But, meaning to ask you.

Lear...

Any relationship
with the architect

-Davenport Lear?
-Uh, no. No. No relation.

-Oh, well. Hey.
-Talk to you soon.

-Yeah.
-Okay. Thanks, John.

[door closes]

The future, my friends,

China.

A land with the demands
of population

and a government that benefits
from capitalistic greed.

But without the requisite
permission required

by private enterprise
to make radical, bold

and sometimes
unpopular decisions.

I... I know you don't have
the same restrictions in China,

but I assure you,
you do not want

uh, Davenport to leverage
his draconian opinions

on your, uh... on your project.

Yeah.

Yeah. Well, we're sort of, uh,
[stammers]

an autonomous franchise.

No, no, no, no.
[chuckles]

Wait. Yeah, yeah. You'll have
the exact same design team

you would as if you're working
under Davenport.

Yeah.

Yeah. A little bit of magic.

[laughs]

No, sir. Yeah, I understand.
Okay. Well...

[speaks in Chinese]

Not bad.

Little early for that kind
of volume isn't?

[babies crying]

Oh, the twins are up.

Yeah. I got it.

[phone rings]

[Tom] Hello? Yeah.

[babies crying]

[cell phone ringing]

Yeah. Hello, who's this?

Is this Glenn Lear I have
the pleasure of speaking with?

Yeah, this is Glenn Lear.
Who's this?

My name is Tyler, I work
for your father, Davenport Lear.

He asked me
to make contact with you.

What for? I... I haven't...

I haven't spoken to him
in years.

Your father specifically
requested

I contact all of his children.

He wants you in LA this weekend.

Tyler, it'd be nice get
a little bit more, uh, warning

when I'm being summoned
by the great man, you know.

I'm sorry. I called as soon
as he asked me too.

Let's not leave out
the enormous egos involved

in this great creative act.

[Davenport]Would it not inflate
any man's head

to know that he is shaping
the very landscape

on which humanity treads?

Not even the best among us
is entirely immune

to this hubris.

Tyler, the day that I need
someone to pay for my flights

is the day I put a gun
to my head.

So, no. You tell dad
to keep his money,

I don't need it.
And I will see you tomorrow.

Okay, bye.

Ridiculous.
[chuckles]

Okay, so we need your signature.

-Yeah.
-[Amelia] There, there.

Okay, and I need my, uh...

-My ticket's on my phone please.
-Here is your paper ticket.

Okay. But on my phone.

You just put your thumb here.

-It'll show up when you...
-Okay, great.

-Is the car ready?
-Car's ready.

-Okay, let's go.
-And your bag's in your car.

-Okay, please stop talking.
-And you're car's warm

-Let's get the car and let's go.
-There's just one more

thing we need.

-Phil's waiting outside.
-[groans]

He's been waiting for two hours,

-Just give him five minutes.
-Okay, send him in.

-Just five minutes.
-Send him in.

Send him in.

Wonderful, so, uh, Mr. Lear
just has a few minutes

-before he catches him flight.
-[Kent] Hello, Phil.

-Hey, Kent. How are you?
-I'm good.

You're fired.

-[Phil] What?
-You're fired.

What do you mean I'm fired?

This deal that just blew up
in your face

cost me a lot of money. Okay?

I don't like losing money
so you're fired.

You've never had a bad deal?

[Kent] No, Phil.
I've never had a bad deal.

If I could just say,
he has a wife

-and three kids...
-Amelia, get a security...

-His wife just...
-Stop talking.

Take his security pass.
Get his ass

-out of the building. Right now.
-I'm on to it, sir.

I'm so sorry, Phil. Um...

[Kent] Please, stop...
stop talking.

-One-thirty.
-[Kent] Stop talking.

Sorry...

I think he is retiring.

I think he's gathering us
all together

so he could tell us how he's
gonna divide up the company.

You know, Rory's coming.

-Rory's coming?
-Yup.

I mean, that's
what they told me.

Huh.

Uh, where is he?

[light music]

[waves crashing]

You're one tough son of a bitch
to find, you know that?

This is your weekend.
I have plans.

Okay, uh, I know. I'm sorry.

It's important to me.
It's about my dad.

-[Sally] Davenport?
-Yes.

He wants me to come to LA. Okay?

And I think he's gonna announce
his retirement,

and he's flying me down there
first class, Sal.

And I think... I think
this is finally it.

I think he's finally decided
that I'm the one.

[scoffs]

The one?

The one to take over
the company.

What? He practically
abandoned you.

[Diana] Hi there, you two.

-Hi, Diana. Is, uh,
-[Diana] Hi.

-is Rory here?
-Uh, no.

-But, uh, Kent's inside.
-Okay.

Hey.

-Hey.
-Hey, please, let me get those.

-You've had a long trip. Please.
-Yeah?

-You sure? All right. Here.
-Oh, yes.

Got it, I've got it.

-Yeah.
-I got it, I got it.

-Yeah. Okay. All right.
-I've got the... Yeah.

-Yeah?
-[Diana grunts]

[Tom] No, on Tuesday.

Uh-huh.

All right. All right,
I'll see him then.

[grunts]

[approaching footsteps]

[Diana] Excuse me, Kent.

Regan, Tom, how are you guys?

Good to see you as always, Kent.

How ya doin'?
How are things on your end?

Well, constantly busy, you know,
making money hand over fist.

-[Tom chuckles]
-How's the architecture game?

Pretty good, pretty good.

Davenport keeps us hopping.

-[Kent] I'll bet he does.
-[chuckles]

Regan.

How are the twins?

Happily with the nanny so we can
get some sleep this weekend.

[Kent] Oh, I doubt we'll be
doing much of that.

Really, Kent?

[sighs]

Oh, she's still a bit
of a bitch, eh, Tom?

[sighs]
Don't mind her.

She's just a bit sleep deprived.

Oh, thanks.

Diana, when Davenport
gets here I'd, uh,

have Delia go home.

It's a work weekend.

Kent?

Architecture is returning
to something more primal.

More nomadic.

Like the landscape
in which we lived.

But truthfully, is architecture
really a field

that aims to service
basic pragmatic human needs?

[Davenport]
Or is it
something else?

Is it something more kin
to a religious calling,

where temples are erected
to pay tribute

to the great rulers of the day?

[melancholy music]

[Tom] You must be Glenn?
I'm Tom, Regan's husband.

Heard a lot of good things
about you.

-Tom.
-[door closes]

Nice to meet you.

Is, uh, dad here yet or...

No, no. No, please.

Thanks.

Can I get you
something to drink, uh, glass

-of water or something?
-No, I'm good. Good, thanks.

Wow.

It's nice to see Davenport
can afford such a, uh,

beautiful retreat.

[Tom] Well, by Lear standards
it's actually quite modest.

Right. Modest.

Is this Davenport's idea
of modest?

Why do you think
he would bring us all here?

Well, he wants to divide up
the kingdom, of course.

Shoulda known Kent would
get the jump on all of us.

Fuck you, Glenn.

Oh! Welcome to LA.

[Tom] How about we don't
start the weekend like this?

No, it's okay, Tom.

Kent's always been
a bit of a bastard.

I'm not just speaking
metaphorically here,

all right, Kent?

Glenn, I don't know
if you know Diana,

she's Davenports
personal assistant.

[Glenn] Oh, of course,
I know Diana.

How are you, dear?

Grand. Grand, thank you.

Uh, busy. You know your father.
Keep me running around.

[chuckles]

He hasn't slowed down
even in his age, huh?

No.
[laughs]

But I hear you have, um,
a firm in Toronto now,

and a design
at the Biennale last year?

-[Glenn] I did. Yeah.
-Wow.

That's great.

Thanks. Yeah,
it's prestigious, you know.

Doesn't get me too many clients
but I do all right.

[Tom] What kind of projects
you working on?

uh, mostly residential stuff.

Oh. Translation,
kitchen and bathroom renos.

So, condos. That's fantastic.

I... I hear the, uh,
market is booming up there.

Oh, not for old Glenn here.

There is no way that
he would be standing in a house

of Davenport's
if it wasn't the promise

of a big chunk of cash.

Am I right, big brother?

-[Glenn] Fuck you, Kent.
-Oh, no. Fuck you, Glenn.

Ah! Diana,
I have to pop out for a bit

so I will see you at dinner.

But please, set an extra place,
because I am bringing a friend.

No, Kent. It's a family dinner
this evening.

[door opens]

-[clears throat]
-[door closes]

He's still the same
arrogant prick.

[Diana] Ah, never mind him.

[cell phone ringing]

Oh, fuck!

Jonathan, Glenn Lear.

Yeah, listen. I thought
I'd call you.

I... You know, I realized
the, uh, the plywood

geometric thing might have been
a stretch, and I could, uh...

Yeah. I could tell...
I got the feeling

your wife didn't really like it.

Could you just give it
till Monday?

That's... Yeah, 'cause we put
a lot of work into it.

[stammers]
I really appreciate it, John.

Okay. Thanks.

Fuck.

[sighs]

[revs]

[exhales]

-[Rory chuckles]
-Give me a hug!

-All right.
-Come on!

Mm!
[giggles]

-Oh! How are you?
-[Regan] I'm good.

-Oh, I've missed this face.
-You look good.

-I do?
-Oh, yeah.

-Yeah?
-[laughs]

Okay, here. I'll...
I'll take that.

-You'll take that?
-Yeah, everybody's

-already inside.
-[Rory] Okay.

Just relax, huh.

[Regan] I know.
[giggles]

Hi, Tom.

Hey.

-Hey, Glenn.
-[grunts]

How's it going, big brother?

Hey, man.

-Diana.
-[Diana] Hey, Rory.

Any trouble finding the place?

[Rory] No, no. I've been here
loads of times.

Really? I thought Davenport
liked to keep this place empty.

Uh, no. He, uh, he lets me stay
here when I'm in town.

It's my little LA pad
by the ocean.

-[chuckles]
-[Tom] Great.

Oh! Uh, Rory's gonna tell us
all about his

motorcycle ventures
through South America,

-so...
-Uh, can we wait

until he's settled 'cause, uh,
dinner's in half an hour. Okay?

Uh, why don't you stay
downstairs with us?

[indistinct chatter]

-[Rory] Oh.
-[Regan] Come on, we can like

talk late at night.

-Be kids like old times.
-[exhales]

Fuck.

[Tom speaks Chinese]

May I please speak
with Mr. Chairman?

Yes, it's Tom Cornwall
from Lear and Partners.

Yes, of course. I'll hold.

Ah! You know when
you'll be expecting him back?

I see.

Very well. I'll try back again
tomorrow, thanks very much.

[Tom speaks Chinese]

Fuck!

Sorry.

What about dad,
when's he arriving?

Uh, yeah. He's not expected
til tomorrow.

[Glenn] Tomorrow?

That's not what he told us.
I thought he'd be here today.

Well, he's a very busy man.

Oh.

I guess the rest of us have
nothing but time on our hands.

[Diana] That's not
what I meant, Glenn.

Well, I mean he made a point
of flying us all in

so I was just wondering

Well, maybe he just wanted
you all to reconnect

before he got here, you know.

[Glenn] Hm.

Um, actually, you know,
you could do something for me.

Um, my daughter, Delia,
she's gonna stay for dinner so,

um, could you hop out
and ask her to get changed?

-[Glenn] Oh, she's out back?
-Yeah.

Okay.

Hi, handsome. What's your name?

I'm Glenn.

I thought you would have
been a Daniel

or a Race or something sexy.

Glenn isn't sexy.

No?

I spell it with two N's.
Come on.

It's still not sexy.

Well, I'm probably
your dad's age.

It's a good thing.

I don't have a father.

Everyone has a father.

Well, even if they're
an asshole.

Is your father an asshole?

I think so.

That's too bad.

I think your mom wants you
to come inside

and get changed for dinner.

You don't like my outfit?

No, I like it. I like it.

I just don't know if
it's proper dinner attire.

What are you doing here anyway?

This is my father's house.

[chuckles]
You're a Lear?

Yeah.

Which one are you?
I don't know much about you.

Yeah. I'm the, uh, prodigal son.
I live in Toronto.

That sucks.

I hear Toronto's lame.

No, it doesn't suck.

It's not California.

No, it's not California.

[indistinct chatter]

-Huh? This is the house.
-Oh.

[overlapping chatter]

-Oh, hey! We're here.
-Hi.

I hope you didn't start
dinner without us.

No, no, no. Of course not.

So, this is Natalie.

We've known each other for ages,
she's practically family.

-Say, hello, Natalie.
-[chuckles]

-Hello.
-Do you hear that accent?

-[giggles]
-How sexy is that, huh?

-Very, very.
-Don't be an asshole.

[Kent] Oh, I love it
when you say that.

Let's get some drinks.

[indistinct chatter]

[exhales]

[gasps]

Hm.

Here you go.

A toast.

To celebrate the homecoming

of the sons and daughters
of Davenport Lear.

-[clinks]
-Where is the king by the way?

Oh, he's, uh, been delayed.

-You know your father.
-[chuckles]

So, Glenn with two N's,
tell me about yourself.

How is it you ended
up in Toronto,

the obscure,
strange older brother?

Uh, personally I'd love to hear
about South America.

Yeah.

Are you avoiding

-the hard questions, Glenn?
-No, no.

-Come on, now. That's no fun.
-[chuckles]

Delia, mind yourself
there, please.

[Delia] Yes, Mother.

No, no. It's fine, Delia.
Actually, I live in Toronto

because that's where Davenport
first met my mother.

Uh, she's the first wife who's
name no one can seem to remember

but it's actually Helen.

-Where's Helen now?
-She lives in Toronto.

And, uh, I go and see her
from time to time

and she suffers from dementia,
she's about 80. Yeah.

[Delia] That's depressing.

But if Davenport Lear
was gonna make things work

he was gonna have
to do two things.

He was gonna have
to change locations

and he was gonna have
to upgrade his wife.

So, he dumped
the old model, my mom

and he took up with Kent's mom.

A very charming woman

and thinks to seem to go
swimmingly for a while.

But then, you know,
he got a little bored,

he started shopping the aisles
until he picked up

with Rosalyn, who is the, uh,
beautiful, very affluent

and, uh, lovely mother
to Rory and Regan.

And, uh...

Sadly she got sick.

And she had cancer
and she passed on.

Um...

So, I... I don't know.
I just somehow feel

like this is a setup

for the next
cancer announcements.

Davenport was never happy
with Helen.

He spent most weekends
at our place

even while he was
still married to her.

You know, but she...

She badgered him
and she pushed him out.

If she hadn't been
such a bitch to him,

he may never have left Toronto.

But she made sure he got
as far away as possible

and so after he left there was
no reason for us to stay.

In a way, you know,
[chuckles]

I think he did us a favor.

And I have his breakup
with your mom to thank

for me getting my start
in New York.

So I say, "Thank God
for that." Hmm?

I'm really glad
my poor old mother

could help service
your fucking life in some way.

Hey, get off your
righteous martyr horse, Glenn.

You're way too old for this

-self-pity bullshit.
-[Regan] Okay, it's no one's

fault that he left your mother.

Some mirages
just can't work. Okay?

There's no passion,
it's as simple as that.

[Glenn] Sometimes things
just don't work out.

We're all here in the spirit
of openness, right?

All of us here are grown-ups,
some more than others.

I think it's time
that you guys know

what it was like
being the eldest

-in this fucked up family.
-[Regan] Uh, okay.

Yes, we're all officially dying
to hear about it, Glenn.

At first it was just Davenport,
me and Helen.

Davenport always worked a lot,
but he was home, you know.

And he would help me
with my homework and shit,

but I used to study piano
as a kid

and I fucking hated the piano,

but I was too scared
to give it up, you know.

Because it was the only time
that I had him all to myself.

You know? And he was mine.

You know, I just... I don't know
what I did to Davenport,

you know, to make him stop
wanting me when I was a kid.

Glenn, he never stopped
loving you.

Diana, what would you know
about that?

You know, I never had
much time with...

Davenport as a child either.

But when he disappeared
from my life,

you know what I did?
I sought him out

and I confronted him like a man.

And we have a pretty good
relationship today.

[Glenn] Lucky you.

You never call him,
you never visit.

I actually come to LA
quite a lot.

And I never make a trip here
without announcing it to him.

Well, he just...
He's just always busy.

You know, he's just never
really seemed to have the time.

Well, we're all gathered.

The great man has called us.

We don't know why.
We don't know where he is.

[laughing]

Now that's classic
Davenport. Huh?

I'd love to hear
about South America, Rory.

-[Glenn] Yeah, Ror.
-Yeah.

Regale us with the tails of your

youthful-carefree travels.
Carry away.

Well, there's not much
to say really.

I mean, I spent the last year
in my motorcycle traveling

through South America.

Cool. What for?

I don't know.
I just felt the need

to get away from everything.

Didn't you ever feel like that?

Sure. Sure, I know.
Of course I did.

I just... I got a job

and I got a kid
I gotta support, you know.

On that treadmill,
you know what I mean?

I can't bear any more
of this self-pity.

I need a smoke.
Come on, Natalie, let's go.

You can be
such an asshole, Kent.

Say that word again. I love it
when you say it like that.

[Glenn] We're finally
gathered here,

we're doing a little
family sharing

and you brought
exotic dancer here,

now you both need
to fucking smoke.

Great!

I'm an actress.

I'm sure you are, gorgeous.

You know what,
I should punch you in the face.

[Glenn] Well, fucking bring it.

Yeah, I'm gonna bring it, buddy.

[Tom] Gentlemen!

Glenn, I don't know you
very well

and you've obviously got
some issues.

But that is
way too much hostility.

Guess what, Tom, I don't know
you very well either.

Maybe mind
your fucking business, okay?

This family is my business.

Oh, is it really your business?

Is that why you married
my sister, Regan?

Who's by the way,
way too fucking hot

and young for you, okay?

For a little piece?

A little piece
of the family business there?

Of course that's why
he married her.

Kent, you're gonna turn
on me now too?

-What's the matter with you?
-[Kent] Come on, Tom.

There's nothing
to be ashamed of.

It was a political marriage,
so what?

We have a beautiful
and healthy marriage.

[cackles]
Come on, let's get some wine.

[Glenn laughs]

You think Davenport Lear's
gonna come in here

and tell us that
he's dying of cancer,

and that he's finally decided
to choose a successor?

And it's gonna be none other
than that's right,

half-weighted,
middle-aged mediocrity

Tom Cornwall here.

You're the man
for the job, Tommy.

-He's not dying.
-[Glenn] Oh, he's... What?

Then why would he
bring us all together?

[Regan] I think Glenn's right.

I think he's dying.

I mean, maybe not right now,

but I... I think this is...
this is weird.

Gathering us like this.
I mean, I haven't seen Glenn

-since our mother's funeral.
-[Glenn] Exactly.

Because we know the truth.

the truth is that Davenport
doesn't call his favorite son

because he has some desire
to have a family get together.

Right? I mean, usually, Delia,

I'm the one who's invited
to the sober events.

Shut the fuck up!

Which reminds me, Diana,

do you think you could get us
some more of this, uh...

Would you get it yourself?

My mom's not the help.

Oh, sweetheart, I... I have
to tell you she actually is.

[Delia] No, she isn't.

Would you tell them?

[Tom] Tell them what?

Tell them why
they're really here.

Diana, why are we really here?

Davenport invited you all here
this weekend

for a very specific reason.

This Sunday
he's marrying my mom.

That's what's happening.

[Diana] Delia, you shouldn't
have said that.

Why not?

'Cause I can't stand watching
them treat you like dad's maid.

Dad?

He's gonna be my father too.

So just get used to it.

That's fucking
perfectly ridiculous.

[Kent chuckles]
I agree with Glenn.

I mean, enough is enough,
the guy's like 80 years old.

It's not ridiculous,
it's just a fact.

-[scoffs]
-And he's only 75.

-Oh, wow.
-Delia, be a pet

and go get a sweater for me
from my room please.

[retreating footsteps]

Davenport is Delia's father.

Well, he will be
after the wedding,

-I guess.
-No. I mean he is

her actual father.

It happened 18 years ago.
I'm not enormously proud of it,

-but it happened.
-What?

Delia doesn't know.

Okay? And Davenport is trying
to deal with the right things.

So I would appreciate it if you
would all keep that quiet.

Davenport and I want to be able
to tell her ourselves.

Jesus Christ.

[Diana] Oh, it's just...
It's time to just

get it all out
in the open, you know?

Enough secrets in this family.

Wait, you had a child with dad?

[Tom] Diana...

Really?

I didn't want you to find out
like this, I'm sorry.

And Davenport had
wanted to tell you

after he arrived, but...

This Sunday...

at this house...

there will be a wedding
and that is why you're all here.

Go to bed, young lady. Go, hmm.

[retreating footsteps]

[Kent grunts]

-Hey.
-Hey.

-It's okay.
-[sighs]

-They'll come around, Mom.
-[scoffs]

I don't even know why
you guys bothered

to invite them all anyway.

They all just think
it's a big payout.

Oh, my love.

You don't understand a thing.

Love you.

[Regan] Rory,
what are you doing?

-What are you doing?
-I'm... I'm...

-I'm leaving.
-No, you're not. No, no, no.

You can't...
you can't leave me, Rory.

Do not do this to me.

What's the point of all this?

Who cares
if dad's marrying Diana?

-It doesn't matter.
-[stammers]

I don't care but I mean
he's not even here.

I'm sick of being manipulated
all the time.

Last time when you left me I...

I couldn't breathe,
I couldn't stand it.

I... I don't... I don't know.

I don't know
what's wrong with me.

Having you here is like
the sun is shining again.

Stop it.

I'm not happy
when you're not around.

It's not healthy for us
to be around each other.

Why do think I'm in a hiding?

[stammers]
You know, why did you come here?

Because Tommy said
this was important.

I thought Davenport was dying.

-Huh?
-[Diana] What about me?

What about you?

[keys jingle]

[Diana] Don't I mean
anything to you?

[Glenn] Of course.

We were young.

That was a long time ago.
[chuckle]

I mean, I don't really think
about it that much

to be honest with you.

I do.

Every single day.

Well, as it turns out

I'm gonna need
a little bit more time.

Yeah, I know we said the weekend

but it's the family,
you don't wanna push.

No, he's not here yet.

Yes, Mr. Chairman, I understand.

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

[speaks Chinese]

Whoa, you're not thinking
of leaving are you?

Well, you can't...
you can't leave.

-Really?
-Yeah.

You know, see
what he's got going on.

Yeah, I see
what he's got going on.

Clearly, he knocked
this woman up 18 years ago

and the company's gonna be hers.

Not the first guy to have
his judgement skewered

by a nice pair of tits
but probably not the last.

Oh, he definitely won't
be the last.

[Glenn] Where the fuck
did you come from?

I think if you leave now,

you're gonna blow
your chances with Davenport.

What chances
are you talking about?

The guy doesn't give a shit.
He doesn't care about his kids,

he never has.

I mean, it's like I'm denying
to any connections to this guy,

it's fucking embarrassing.

And then he thinks
I'm gonna give a shit

-about his third marriage?
-[Kent] It's a test.

Don't you guys see that?

[Tom] What?

Well, maybe you don't see it.
Maybe I'm the only one the does

'cause I don't give a shit
about his money

or his precious firm,
but don't you think

it's some kinda test?

Go on, genius. What do you got?

I think that
he's brought us here

thinking it's about a wedding,

but I think it's about more
than just a wedding.

No. I don't think so.

[Kent] You're already
here, Glenn.

Could either of you afford
to leave?

I mean, can either of you afford
to leave

and not see for yourselves?

[Glenn] Look.
Rory's his favorite son.

I'm the outsider.

Don't confuse it.

-You know what, Glenn?
-What?

That means we have
something in common.

-Do we?
-Yeah, we're both outsiders.

-Are we?
-Yeah.

We both wanna get
what we deserve.

All right?
We may not be brothers

but I've spent my entire life

helping you build
your father's firm.

So I know what you're saying.

What do we have to show for it?

[Glenn] We?

Tom, I run a minuscule firm
in Toronto. Okay?

I got a couple of interns
mostly on the volunteer basis.

I have problems selling
renovations to yuppies.

That's my fucking world.
I don't we have much in common.

You're a nice guy though.

Glenn.

-What?
-You're a very good designer.

-How the fuck do you know?
-Because I know.

Davenport follows your work.

You may not think he does
but he does.

And I have seen your stuff too.

The Biennale entry was sublime.

Sublime?

Sublime.

I think you oughta stick around
until Davenport gets here.

What do you have to lose?
He's right.

My pride.

Oh, of course. Your pride.

Fuck you.

[Kent laughs]

Look, I'm gonna stick it out.

I think you'll regret it
if you don't.

What's the worst scenario?

You have to sit though
a tacky wedding

and eat some
questionable catering.

And spend time with family.

[laughs]

Now I'm gonna buy you a drink.

[Glenn] So early?

-Yeah.
-Nice.

[foreboding music]

[knocks on door]

-[door opens]
-Hello?

[Regan] Hey.

Uh, I just wanted to see if
you needed help with anything.

[Diana] Uh, no. No, thanks.

Is that your dress?

Yeah.

Can I see it?

Yeah, sure. Help yourself.

[Regan] Actually, no.
Um, on you.

Um...

Yeah.

[Regan] You have
a great body. Wow.

[Diana] Thank you.

All this time that
we worked together,

I guess it was one of those
little things I never noticed.

I mean, my dad must've, but...

I don't know how, uh,
anyone gets close to him.

He's always been so detached.

He loves you.

[sighs]
Um, I don't know.

You could use something.

Well, I didn't want
to think formal,

I mean, it's just
a garden wedding.

Yeah, I know. But we should
add a little something to it.

Oh, I have this woman
that I go to sometimes,

we could drop by.
She could fix it up.

I've gotta organize the catering

and the flowers and...

You can delegate.

It's not a secret anymore

and God knows Tom wants
to be kept busy.

[both chuckle]

Just never imagined myself
picking up catering

for Davenport's wedding.

-[Glenn] Yeah.
-Thanks for coming along.

Yeah. Well, Kent wasn't
gonna get off his ass.

You know him.

-[cell phone ringing]
-Hmm?

Hey, Tyler.

Nope. Everybody's out picking up
things for the wedding.

Yeah, everybody's fine.
I mean, Glenn was gonna leave

but, uh, Tom and I
convinced him to stay.

When are you guys showing up?

[revving]

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Why did you marry Tom?

Oh, he, um...

He was a loyal foot solider.

My dad always liked him.
He was...

the kinda guy you could count on
to get the work done

and never the kinda guy
that was gonna be a threat, so.

And do you love him?

Sure.

Yeah, in a way.

I guess our marriage is, um...

more of a business arrangement,
if that makes any sense.

It does.

[somber music]

[Davenport]
Architects are
the artist is who will shape

the textures

and the landscapes
of the future.

So it is our moral duty

to protect the world

from this appalling,
environmental degradation.

This planet is our home.

We are its stewards,
its caretakers...

and nothing more.

[Tom] I've been kissing
Davenport's ass for 20 years,

I'd like a little piece.
I think I've earned it.

I gotta see how
the weekend pans out

but I got
a pretty big project going.

Think I could use a partner.

So, Tom, why not Davenport?

Davenport would never go for it.
And without him,

without the Lear name
it's a dead in the water.

So I'm curious, Tom,
why won't Davenport go for it?

[Tom] Well, he's got
pretty strict codes

about architectural projects

that don't meet
his environmental ideal.

[Glenn] Okay,
so where is this project?

China.

[Glenn laughing]

-[Wilhelmina] These fit.
-Wow.

[Wilhelmina] Casual
for a wedding dress.

Oh, well, we're just trying
to keep it simple.

Yeah, but still,

there's nothing simple
about a wedding, is there?

Well, it's just
immediate family, so, yeah.

Yeah.
[gasps]

I don't know, I think such
a special occasion

requires a very special dress.

Sure! Sure, sure. But, I, uh,
I... I like this dress.

I like it too.

I just think we need
to zhoosh it up a bit

and, um, give it
some more distinction.

-[Regan] Exactly. Yeah, I agree.
-Yeah.

-Yeah, um...
-[clears throat]

Where's my...

I'm gonna show you some flowers

and you're gonna tell me
what you like.

Who cares what I like,
you just pick 'em.

I care.

Pink or yellow?

Or pink and yellow?

Too... too traditional.

[light music]

What do you think?

I like it.

I mean, it's simple
but with a certain something.

Not too sexy.

-No.
-Wouldn't want Davenport

-having a heart attack.
-[chuckles]

Davenport's in very good shape
for a man of his age.

Well, he should be.

I mean, you look good
enough to eat.

What do you think?

[sniffles]

-[both] Oh.
-[sobbing]

Oh, are you... are you okay?

-[Wilhelmina] You're all right.
-Okay, hold on. Hold on.

-You're good, you're good.
-[sobs]

-Is it the dress?
-[crying]

No, it's not the dress.
[sniffles]

I'll get you a drink.

-Jesus.
-[Diana sobbing]

-Are you okay?
-[Diana] I just never...

[sniffles]
I never thought

I'd end up like this.

Like this.
[crying]

Well then, what, like what?

I mean, you...
you look beautiful,

you're marrying a really rich
and successful older man.

-I mean, it could be worse.
-I know.

I know I should be...
I should be really grateful.

I know that, I just...

I just imagined

it would be different.
That's all.

[gasps]

[Tom] The Chinese are crazy.

All right, they have more money
then they know what to do with.

But they are obsessed
with having a Lear project.

Yeah, but even with me
helping you,

it still wouldn't be
a Lear project.

[Tom] Uh, well, first of all
you are a Lear.

But I can also sell them
on the legacy idea.

But why can't you just make
the deal with the Chinese

and use Regan as your partner?

Regan doesn't wanna do anything
that even smacks of...

Behind Davenport's back.

Look, I don't know how
I feel about that myself.

[Tom] You can do what you want,

you're not a part
of this company.

You never have been. You're free
to make your own decisions.

And by the way, you are a Lear.

From what I understand
from Davenport,

you could use the money.

He told you that?

Well, he implied it once.

[Glenn] What did he say?

It doesn't matter.

Tell me.

-Tell me.
-[Tom] He said

that you are stubborn

and that your firm
will always be...

a two-bit operation.

-Two-bit operation.
-[Tom] That's what he said.

What a fucking prick.

Well, he still admired
your Biennale project.

-We all did. I told you.
-[Glenn] Yeah, sure.

Sure he did.

He saw it. We all saw it.

Man, it was...

Yeah, sublime.
Yeah, I know, I get it.

[scoffs]

All right, I'll do it.

-Really?
-[Glenn] Yeah.

-You sure?
-Sure.

I'll partner with you
on the China project.

That's fantastic.

I don't know anything about it.

[Tom] You will,
you're gonna love it.

And I'm gonna be more than
just a name you can use. Okay?

-[Tom] Yeah, of course.
-I wanna see your plans.

I wanna have legitimate
input on stuff.

That is the whole idea.

It's gonna be great.

[revving]

Davenport, are you here?

[Regan] Dad?

Well, here's the happy crew.

He said he'd be here for dinner.

So you spoke to him?

Well, Tyler actually.

Well, as long
as you have a drink,

you know, table for one.
Good for you.

-[Kent chuckles]
-I asked him to call.

[mellow music]

[knocks on door]

Can I come in?

[Glenn] Sure.

Okay, that's far enough.

Oh, come on. You're no fun.

I don't bite.

Listen, I, uh...

I need you to get dressed,
young lady.

-Okay?
-Young lady?

Yeah, you're barely 18.

-So?
-So your mother will kill me.

I won't tell.

Look, you don't...

-Okay, listen...
-[knocks on door]

Uh, yeah, hello?

[Diana] It's Diana.

Yeah, yeah, come on in.
I'm just, uh,

I'm just getting dressed.

[grunts]

[exhales]
Yeah, come on in.

-Is everything all right?
-[Glenn] Yeah.

Yeah, just, uh,
putting my pants on.

Of course, you are.
Glenn pants on is pants off.

-What's what supposed to mean?
-[Diana] You know exactly

what that's gonna mean.

[Glenn] What's going on?
You all right? You look upset.

-What's going on here?
-No.

No, I'm not all right,
I'm not all right...

I thought I knew
what I was doing

with Davenport, I really did.
It's just, uh...

I'm just not
thinking clearly, Glenn.

[Glenn] Right. No, I understand.

I understand how it is.
But listen,

-could you do me a favor...
-No.

-Come on, come on.
-I'm just, uh...

I thought I loved him, Glenn.

I really did but now
that you're here I just...

-I don't know, I'm just not
-Okay, okay.

-sure.
-Can we have this conversation

a little bit later
in the hallway. Can we?

Listen, let's have
this conversation...

-You're pushing me away again.
-No. No, no.

I'm not. I just want you
to go to the hallway

and then talk
and we'll take a walk.

-Oh, god.
-Okay?

-[Diana] Okay.
-Okay, great.

Okay?

Just wait there
in the hallway. Okay?

[exhales]

[scoffs]

Well, that was interesting.

Listen, kid.
You're killing me, okay?

I'm pushing 50
and you're driving me crazy.

I need you to
get dressed, please.

-You're killing me.
-My mom has

a thing for you.

-She had a thing for me
--[Delia] Oh.

It was 20 years ago.
I was young,

-she was young we were...
-Oh, I think it's still a thing

-It's not, it's not, it's not...
-Don't...

Don't worry, I'm not jealous.

Actually, I think
it's kinda sexy.

[panting]

Oh, my god. Listen,
you gotta go.

Here we go. This way. Okay.

Listen, come on, come on.

Okay. This way, okay.
Down the hall.

[groans]

♪ Once I had

♪ A pretty little woman

♪ She would lie

[Delia] Hm.

♪ Way her pie

♪ Sugarland Mountain

♪ I tell you...

Come on, Delia,
I'm not interested.

Regan. Sorry,
I thought you were Delia.

What, she's stalking you now?

Yeah, it started this afternoon.

You should have seen
what happened earlier

at Will's place. Oh, my god.
[chuckles]

Diana tried on her dress

and she completely started
losing it.

Where the fuck
is Davenport anyway.

-Fucking disaster.
-Hell, if I know.

[sighs]

Rory, you got me thinking...

[sighs]
I have to stop living this lie.

What do you mean?

My whole life with Tom.
My marriage.

It's a... It's a fucking joke.

Regan, we can't go back there.

We were just kids
playing around.

You know, it's what kids do.

Yeah, when I'm with you
I'm transported back.

-It's fucked up and you know it.
-Okay.

So it's fucked up
but it's how I feel

and it's tearing
me apart inside.

We're twins, okay?

And you're closer to me than

-anyone in this world.
-I know.

We share all this DNA and...

and of course
we have this crazy bond.

But...

[Regan] So you love me?

-'Course I do.
-Okay.

Okay, then say it.

Say you love me.

Rory, say you love me.

[sighs]

Fuck.

[phone rings]

Hello?

Tyler, hi, where are you?

Okay, well, just get here
as soon as you can.

[beeps]

[Diana sighs]

Uh, that was Tyler,
your father's delayed, um...

I don't know, he's in a plane,
there's a storm, um, so...

Hm.

They're gonna wait to be
cleared for takeoff,

so we might as well
continue dinner without him.

Again.

He's not coming.

Funny how he called us all here

like it was some bloody life
or death situation

and he's not even here.

He's not even here.

[chuckles]

Maybe he doesn't exist.

Maybe he's the Wizard of Oz.

Stop being
so fucking melodramatic.

He's coming,
it's just a weather delay.

How come you always seem to know

so much about
what Davenport is doing?

I don't know anything.
All I said

was that he's coming.
I don't think anyone

really knows
what Davenport's up to.

-He's an enigma.
-[Glenn scoffs]

He's not an enigma.

I think he's a
manipulative-punitive patriarch

who's kept all his kids
on a leash.

Except for the old one
he disowned.

But you know
what the real problem is

with you guys, is that
you could never quite

get yourselves off dad's leash,
could you?

I'm not on a leash.

It's Tom an Regan's story,
it's not mine.

Well, some of us are expected
to work for a living.

[Rory] Tom,

you've never had
to build anything

from scratch like Glenn.

He may not have much
to show for it

but at least he's been given
the privilege of independence.

Thanks for the kind words, kid.

To be honest, I would've...

given my left arm for what you
and Regan had with dad.

Well, it's hard to be a Lear
I guess, uh,

if you're not
the Lear.

[Glenn chuckles]

I thought of changing
my profession, Delia.

I thought of fucking
retiring completely.

[Diana] Yeah, we all know
you're need to, uh...

give up when
the going gets though, Glenn.

I don't give up on things, okay?

-I kept at it. Thank you.
-Yeah.

You, you're afraid
to take responsibility

-for your own name.
-[Glenn] That's not true.

[Kent] Oh, I think it is true.

I'm just saying,
Glenn had to do it on his own.

Regan and I worked for the firm,

she still does
but I couldn't take it anymore.

Oh, so that's why you left,

'cause you couldn't
take it anymore, that's why?

[Rory] Yeah.

Riding my motorcycle
through South America

was incredibly therapeutic.

[Diana] And who paid for that?

This, uh, voyage
of self-discovery.

-I did.
-Oh, really?

Really? You don't work.
You never have.

Yeah, I actually never have
thought to ask,

but how... how do you
make a living, Rory?

[Diana] Tell them.

Tell them what?

Oh, here it comes.

[Diana] Davenport has
given him money every month

for years.

[Glenn snaps]
I fucking knew it.

[laughs]
Of course he does.

-What's that supposed to mean?
-[laughs]

It means that
the golden boy is living off

the golden old man still.

All this free spirit bullshit.

You're a trust fund kid.

I respect that.

But not a kid anymore
and it is a handout.

-[Glenn laughs]
-Sure, Glenn.

Whatever you say.

Hey, I've never seen
any of it, okay?

Not a thin red dime.

Well, even if he offered
anything to me

I wouldn't take the dime.

[Glenn] Oh, we'll see
about that, tough guy.

Look, Davenport's human, okay?

if it was up to me I would have
done things differently.

But if you think he's
what's been holding you back,

what bullshit!

Get over it! Get over yourself.

Touché.

You know, incredibly,
actually I thought

this time would be different.

I thought that
near the end of his life

that Davenport would actually
try to reconcile himself

to his abandoned son if...

[scoffs]
Glenn.

He didn't abandon you,
he just hated your mother, okay?

-[Kent chuckles]
-He was trying to get away

from her clawing neediness,
don't you get that?

[Glenn] Yeah, she's
real fucking needy.

That neediness is paid for
by the government of Canada,

okay?

And she's doing really well.

She's got
three geriatric roommates

that she spends
most nights with.

They all fucking drool and cry
and wail through the night.

It's fucking sublime,
you should come visit.

[Regan] I'm sorry, Glenn.

Watching my mother die
was no picnic.

-Okay?
-[Glenn] I could appreciate that

but at least you had Davenport

-to pull her through.
-Yes.

She did, didn't she?

'Cause she was
the love of his life.

-I was in love once.
-Oh!

-Here we go. Mm-hmm.
-I mean, not with your father.

I'm... I'm settling
for your father but...

I couldn't be with the one
that I really loved.

Oh, god. I loved him.

But, um...

He acted like
I never existed, so...

And I wasn't gonna be alone.

And I want to make sure
that Delia was taken care of,

so even if he couldn't...

I made bloody sure his family
would take care of her.

Mom, what are you saying?

[Diana] I'm saying that
Glenn is your father.

What?

-[Regan] What?
-[Tom, Kent and Rory] What?

That's ridiculous.
You just told us last night

that Davenport was her father.

Davenport's my father?

[Glenn] You're just angry
at Davenport

and that's why
you're making a scene correct?

Are you denying
you slept with me?

[Glenn] That was years ago,
what about Davenport?

I didn't sleep with Davenport

until after I was pregnant
because guess what?

I assumed

that you wouldn't manage
to be there for me.

[Glenn] What a story.

[Kent] Oh, where's
all that compassion, Glenn?

[Diana] You know, um, Glenn,

used to come down to LA
looking for his father

and, um, he was always busy
or he was traveling,

and I just...
I couldn't understand it.

I just... I couldn't understand

how a father could hurt
his son like that.

We slept together
on the fourth of July

and, oh, my god
there were fireworks.

Nine months later Delia arrived.

[Rory] Ah...

So the wounded prodigal son
has some baggage of his own.

[chuckles]
Of course he does.

[Diana] Have a look at her.

Look at her.
Take a really good look at her

because she is yours, Glenn.
She is yours.

I mean, I asked Regan,
I mean today in the dressmakers.

I just... I couldn't do it.

You know, if you're not willing
to step up

to your responsibilities
for your kid that's fine,

because you know what?
Davenport will.

Because the wrong Lear is better
than no Lear at all.

You're my father?

-You tried to kiss me.
-I don't know.

-I did not try to kiss you.
-[Diana] You tried to kiss her?

[Glenn] She's been throwing
herself at everybody

since we got here,
ask Rory and ask Kent.

[Diana] Sorry, you wanted
to have sex with your daughter?

Listen, she's not my...
You're not my daughter.

-You're not my daughter.
-[Diana] Oh, no? No?

How do you know?
How do you know? Do you...

Do you deny having sex with me?

-Do you?
-[Glenn] It was 20 years ago

and I was fucking drunk,
and I don't remember.

Wait, so this...
All this, this...

The breakdowns, the misgivings,
what, you couldn't have just

-told us that it was Glenn?
-Well, I didn't want

-to complicate everything.
-Oh!

I don't think
it could be more complicated.

Diana is in love with Glenn.

Glenn would rather be having sex
with his daughter,

who's aunt, my wife Regan
is totally infatuated

with her brother Rory

whose other brother Kent
will fuck anything that walks!

And Tom who would love
to sell Davenports company

to the fucking Chinese

if he could have five minutes
alone with them

so he could sign the papers.

-No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
-[clamoring]

It's a... It's a...
It's an autonomous franchise.

[Glenn] Bullshit!

It's an autonomous franchise.

He knows. He will know.

I don't, I don't wanna even
be tied to this family anymore.

You know, the word incestuous
come to mind.

-[Tom] Yeah, you think?
-I didn't wanna

have sex with anyone.
I didn't know he was my father.

[Rory] There's no proof
to any of this.

Diana's probably making
the whole thing up.

[Diana] Oh, yeah? Well, like
the night we spent together?

-[Regan] Oh, what now, are you
-[Glenn] What the fuck?

-saying you slept with Rory?
-What are you talking about?

-[Glenn] Him?
-[Diana] Why don't you

tell them all, Rory?

You slept with him?

Rory?

You fucking slut!

-[Tom] Regan!
-What, did you fuck our entire

-Come on!
-family?

Shut up, Tom!

This has nothing to do with you.
Goddamnit!

[Delia] So is Rory my father
or is Glenn my father?

I'm not your father,
I slept with your mom last year.

You don't look
like a newborn to me.

I'm gonna get some whiskey
and a cigar.

Oh, yeah.

Have her DNA tested
by all means.

Glenn, do. But you know what?

your two middle toes
are webbed and so are Delia's.

-Do not talk about my toes.
-It's a coincidence.

-Okay? That's a coincidence.
-I'm sorry.

Oh, really? Really?

No, it's not a coincidence.

But look, here's the thing,

if you don't wanna take
your relationship

with me seriously
and if you don't want to step up

and take responsibility
for your daughter,

well then, your dad will.

Because I will not...

Delia will not be cut out
of this family!

And if my best option
is marrying an old man...

well, fuck me
that's what I'm gonna do.

Don't forget about
the side project with Rory,

'cause then you'll have
a nice fucking

-Lear sandwich to gobble.
-[Diana] Yes, I will.

-Fuck you!
-[Kent] Oh, this is nice!

Okay?

You just came here
because you thought Davenport

was gonna divide up the spoils
between all of us, huh?

[Glenn] You're here
for the same fucking reason.

Who are you kidding?

That and you lusting after

-your brother, that's fucked up.
-Oh, fuck off!

That's how you spell fucked up.

[phone rings]

Hello?

[phone clatters]

[Glenn] What's the matter?

-[Regan] Diana?
-[Delia] Mom?

Oh, my god.

[Regan] Diana, what is it?

Oh, my god, you're father.

Your father had a heart attack
on the plane.

-[Kent] What?
-[Tom] Shit.

Oh, my god.

He died, he died.

What... He... No...
That's impossible.

[sobs]
Oh, god.

[approaching footsteps]

-[sobbing]
-You okay?

It's all right.
It's okay, it's okay.

[crying]

[sobbing continues]

[somber music]

[Davenport]
I hang on
to one vision.

And that is,
he who stops dreaming dies.

He who stops hoping dies.

So just hang in there folks.

Contribute.

Stand in a line
to make a difference.

And at the end of the day
just get it done.

No matter how we all feel
about our grievances...

there's no denying that
we lost a great one today.

[Rory] Here, here.

[Tom] Well said.

I'll drink to that.

[Glenn] Yeah, I never
thought much about it.

I guess I've been caught up
in my own resentments.

You know I just remembered
my fishing rod.

Yeah, that was my favorite thing
in the world when I was a boy.

Davenport gave it to me.

Maybe he had some business
back in Toronto, I'm not sure.

Or maybe he was just coming
to see me I don't know.

But he showed up at the house
and we got in the car

and just went out to a lake.

Davenport knew a guy
so he started talking to the guy

and after a few minutes
sure enough

we were in a little fishing boat

on our way out to the middle
of the lake, you know.

Just me and Davenport

and this fantastic
little fishing rod he got me.

He had a little tackle box
and box of worms

and those nice little floats
that bob in the water.

And we just fished, you know.

And then it happened.

I got a bite or strike
as he called it, fishing lingo.

[laughs]

And then Davenport...

he popped up and he helped
me reel in this magnificent fish

and that thing
was like the length of my arm.

And I remember him asking me,
"You wanna keep it?"

Of course I did, but...

But he made me kill it.

This slimy thing it was
just trying to wiggle free

in my hand.

I was clumsily trying to,
you know, whack it in the head

and he pulled out a pocket knife
and he showed me how to cut it,

you know, make a fillet
and gut it and everything.

So we just went back
to his friends property and...

sat there under the stars
and just...

cooked the fish in a skillet
with some butter, you know.

Nothing ever tasted better.

Davenport never spent
any time with me

when I was growing up.

And I know you think that
I didn't care, but I did.

I had a pretty lonely childhood.

But I do have Davenport to thank
for my success.

He came to New York one time

and he whisked me off
to Meadowlands,

the... the horse track
in New Jersey, and, uh...

It's a fantastic place
and he showed me how to

pick horses, and we were at it
all day long, we lost a bundle.

So much money.

And that was the first
and last time

that I ever used his money
for any kind of venture.

And I guess
it was my introduction

to picking winners.

And I just moved from horses
to stock market.

And it's remarkably
similar actually.

So...

thank you, Dad for...

our wonderful day at the track.

I bought my first bike with dad.

I kinda tricked him into it,

I told him I needed cash
to get a car.

He agreed to give me the cash,

but insisted on coming along
to meet the guy

and he said
he knew a lot about cars,

and he wanted to help.

So we get there
and it's this middle-aged dude

whose wife is forcing him
to sell his baby.

So we go out back...

and there it is,
this whole cool BMW.

But I'm waiting for Davenport
to just, likely unload.

Just... just completely
lose it on me.

But he doesn't
he just goes over to the guy

and starts talking
about the... the mileage,

the year, the starter,
the engine.

All this stuff that I...
I had no idea

dad knew so much about...
about bikes.

So he pays the guy in cash
and we get back in the car,

and he says two things.
He says...

"You have to get a safety course
and you're not allowed to die."

[all laugh]

[chuckles]

I loved him for that.

My dad story has
to do with prom.

I of course, wanted
to go with Rory.

Dad didn't think
that was such a hot idea,

so, you know,
I get pissed off as usual.

And, uh, I'm gonna make
a moment of it,

so I'll... I'll go with Mark.

[scoffs]

Mark's this absolute pig.

I think I'm gonna
bring this loser around

and really piss
old Davenport off.

Mark shows up at the house,
he's got this t-shirt with a tux

-drawn on the front of it.
-[chuckles]

Dad thinks
it's hilarious, right?

Best thing he's ever seen.

Invites him in, pours him
a nice fine glass of whiskey,

I come down the stairs.

I'm obviously expecting
a disaster

and they're
sitting there talking,

and Davenport's in the middle
of some frat story of his.

They're basically best pals
at this point

and I'm getting really nervous

because I don't want
to go to prom with this guy.

Especially if he doesn't
even have the desired effect

of pissing Davenport off.

But it's too late.

So we're off to the prom.

It goes horribly
and I'm probably drunk.

And next thing we know

we're back at the house
parked outside

in the middle
of the night and...

Mark just starts trying
to fuck me.

And I... I' m panicked. I...

[Regan sniffles]

You know, I try to push him off,

I mean, he's huge
so there's not...

There's not that much
that I can actually do.

And thank God.
[scoffs]

The car light turns on...

and it's Davenport.

He's dragging him out...

just beating the shit
out of him.

I really didn't know
Davenport had it in him.

I mean,
he was amazing, like a...

like a trained boxer.
[chuckles]

He's crying like a baby.

He's bleeding everywhere,
all over his steering wheel

as he drives away.

And Davenport just stops...

and he looks at me...

and he says,
"You okay, buttercup?"

[sniffles]

He straightens my dress
and he walks me inside.

For the record.

I think we should just judge
a man by his actions.

So sure,
Davenport was a great man.

But I think he was just that.

A man.

Pros and cons. Flaws and all.

And he is dead

which is sad but

I think we should just
remember him for what he was.

A man.

A womanizer.

A huge ego.

A father.

A benefactor, a mentor.

Neglectful. Forgetful.
Cold shoulder.

But just a man...

to be loved no more or no less
than he deserved.

'Cause if you take away
this legacy,

the buildings and the wise words

and the money, then

[scoffs]
what about the man is left

for you to love?

Father?

Maybe.

No more.

Probably much less.

I think that's
a little harsh, love.

[Delia] No, Mom.

It's what he deserves.

It's what
everyone really deserves.

Honesty.

A toast then.

To the great Davenport Lear.

-Davenport Lear.
-Davenport Lear.

[glasses clink]

[Tyler clears throat]

I let myself in.
I'm sorry if I started you.

You should know I've just come
from the hospital.

They took his body there
as soon as we landed.

[Regan] Oh, god.

You should also know...

something incredible
has happened.

They revived him.

-What are you talking about?
-[Delia] What?

-[Tom] He's alive?
-[Glenn] How?

-Are you serious right now?
-[Rory] How?

[Tyler] He's under observation
but he's stable.

Wait a minute, is this come kind

-of joke?
-You said he was lucid.

[Tyler] I know you all have
a lot of questions.

We'll know in the morning.
I suggest just...

Just stay here

and I'll report back
first thing.

[Kent] Hey, Tyler, wait.
I'm coming with you.

-[exhales]
-Oh, my god, Diana.

-It's a miracle.
-[chuckles]

What a fucking mess.

[sighs]

Do you think
they'll have the wedding?

I guess so at some point.

So you do
love Davenport after all.

Yeah, of course.
I mean, he's my father.

Even though he fucked you
for most of your life

you'll always have
that fishing trip.

Something like that.

[door closes]

[Rory] What's wrong?

I just...

can't be on my own tonight,
that's all.

Okay, uh...

Mm.

What are you doing?

Oh, just please don't make me
be on my own tonight.

-I just want to kiss you.
-You can't even be here.

Why?

My, my dad.

-[Diana] Hug me.
-[Rory] Diana...

Oh, look. Stop.

Diana, stop.

I shoulda said
something before but...

the thing is, uh...

I'm in love with someone else.

Your sister.

Make love to me.

-Please, I need it.
-Diana...

I really need this tonight.

[Rory] You...

-[Diana] Please.
-[Rory] Stop....

-Fucking get off him.
-[Rory] Shit.

-[Diana] Oh, my god.
-Get off of him.

-Oh, my god, what are you doing?
-[Rory] Hey, what are you...

Get off of him. Get...

-[Rory] Diana!
-What are you doing?

-Don't you touch him.
-[Rory] Hey!

-You shouldn't be touching him.
-Oh, my god!

Get off me! Don't touch me!

-Hey! Wait, Diana!
-[Regan] You fucking slut!

-Diana!
-Get the fuck off him!

-Fucking get out!
-[Diana screams]

[Rory] Just stay out.

[door closes]

[foreboding music]

[Rory] So are we all headed
to the hospital this morning?

-Davenport!
-[Davenport laughs]

Oh, my god.
Let me give you all a hand.

I can't believe
they all showed up, Tyler.

Oh, boy.

What's going on?

How come
none of you are dressed?

Aren't we supposed
to attend a wedding?

[Tom laughing]

[Regan] You nut.

[priest] We're gathered
here today

in front of these
sacred mountains in Maliwoo.

The mountain of my people
of the Chumash

who lived and loved here.

They hold witness
to this beautiful union today.

We ask mother earth

that she bless this marriage
with abundance

and that you may grow stronger

and more in love
through every season.

We ask all the forces
of nature here today

to bless this sacred union

and we pray

that you may always find love
for each other in your heart.

And that you may be safe
and protected

as well as your family.

Aho.

[Tyler] We are gathered
here today

to witness the marriage
of Davenport and Diana.

But before we begin,

Davenport would like
to say a few words.

[Davenport] A hand, please.

Thank you.

[Davenport grunts]

I got it.

Oh, boy.

Always kinda freaked me,
this close to the edge,

I don't know.

[exhales]

I guess I should
thank you all for coming.

Before we really get started

and anything
more formal than this.

I thought that I might, uh...

tell you a couple of things
that I've been sitting on

and kept to myself
for a long time.

I know Diana
has told you all that, uh,

Delia is my daughter.

Well, uh...

She's not my daughter.

I had a vasectomy

after Roselyn died
so she can't be my daughter.

And it's no disrespect
to you, Diana.

It's just that after
my second wife died...

I couldn't really bear to bring
another life on this earth.

[clicks tongue]
And, uh, when I...

slept with you those years ago,

you were very sad
and very vulnerable.

And I couldn't resist you.

And I'm ashamed of that.

But I'm also a man and, uh...

I always felt that you and Glenn

had something going on
with each other and, uh,

Delia's toes.
[laughs]

And so I figured that
she was Glenn's child.

And lately, uh, you know...

have been thinking about...

my life and, uh...

what it's about.

My finances, my legacy.

God, that's a terrible word.
I hate that word.

But it's fact.

I am vain.

And my family.

And that's why
I brought you all here together,

um, back to the compound
if you will.

And, um...
[exhales]

The last day or so,

Tyler and I have been holed up
in a room over there

because I had Tyler and Kent
who I enlisted

put surveillance materials
all around the house

and in the automobiles.

Tyler and I have been
holed up over there

watching all of your, uh,

-behavior and emotions and, uh,
-Jesus Christ.

just in reactions
and it was nice to see.

And it's amusing
and interesting.

[exhales]

And sometimes it's been
very touching.

But sad.

I enlisted Kent

because he's always had
no vested interests

in any of my finances or wealth

or where it should go
or his part in it or anything.

So you can understand
why I put him

in the room with all of you.

So he could bear witness

to the eulogies,

to the sincerity,
to the honesty.

And in a couple of cases
real heart felt honesty...

and sincerity.

But throughout the weekend
there has been a sense of...

"What's in it for me?"

A sense of entitlement.

That disturbed me.

I can honestly say
that I feel that

I've been able look
into the hearts

and minds,
and in two or three cases

the souls

of each and every one of you.

And I can say that, uh,

I'm goddamn sure where we stand.

Tyler.

[Glenn]
I think he's a
manipulative-punitive patriarch.

[Tom]
I've been kissing
Davenport's ass

for 20 years.
I'd like a little piece.

[Diana]
You wanted to have sex
with your daughter.

[Regan]
Rory, say you love me.

[Delia]
My mom has
a thing for you.

[Diana]
And if my best option
is marrying an old man,

then fuck me
that's what I'm gonna do.

[Tom]
No, it's a... it's a...
it's an autonomous franchise!

[laughing]

[Tom] Not fucking funny.

Dad, can I just ask
you a question?

So the heart attack,
there was no heart attack.

That was all bullshit?

Yeah. You got a problem
with that?

[Glenn] No. Just that
our own brother helped rig it.

I made it up.

[Kent] Wait a second,
I was at the hospital

with you last night
and you were connected

to a whole bunch of wires
and tubes, I mean...

-[Davenport] Rigged.
-I thought you were dying.

Why... why would you fake

-something like that?
-You went as far as rigging

-that you were in a hospital?
-Guys, I'm sorry, okay?

I didn't know
that he was going to

-take it this far.
-What the fuck?

Were you in the fucking scam
or were you half in on the scam.

-I don't get it then.
-Oh, my god.

I didn't know about...

What about the wedding?

What about the wedding?

[Diana] Was there ever
gonna be a wedding?

After all we've learned about
each other this entire weekend.

The going back and forth.

The inner twining. The emotions.

You still think
there should be a wedding?

You're a bastard.

No. Technically speaking,

Kent, the son
is the only bastard in the area.

[clears throat]

[sighs]

Thank you.

[grunts]

How could you use me like that?

Excuse me?

Madam, who are you talking to?

You can't even make up your mind
between Glenn and Rory.

What do you mean use you?

What are you doing?

Huh?

[Diana] I have a daughter.

Not by me.

You have a grandchild.

I'll love her accordingly.
She understands that.

See.
[clears throat]

That's where
you're wrong, old man.

Who does this
to the people he loves?

I second my mom.

I don't want anything
to do with you.

'Cause I don't want anything
to do with a man

who treats his family like this.

You're an unbelievable
asshole Davenport.

Really?

Come on.

You know what?

I want to say I was sorry.

-I'll pray for you.
-Thank you, ma'am.

I don't need prayers.

Than you.

Um, well.

[grunts]

Here we are.

[grunts]

You're the puzzle.

You know why?

You're a whiz kid business man.

A financial probably genius.

I don't know
what genius really means.

And so you should be
the perfect person

to run my steak.

But you got a problem, boy.

You don't like architecture.

Not to mention you keep

referring to him
as the bastard son.

Even though he, uh...

takes part in this...

insensitive and outrageous plan
of yours.

Only to see you fake death
in a fucking hospital bed.

You're the bastard Davenport.

I may be a bastard...

but the fact
is you
are a bastard.

You know what, I'm tired
of being part of this charade.

So goodbye Davenport.
It was... It was a great visit.

And I am sorry to all of you

because I didn't realize
he was gonna go this far

and none of you deserve this.

I feel terrible.

[retreating footsteps]

Davenport, look,
I hope you know that--

[Davenport] Hey.

You're done here.

Get out of my sight.

Now.

Tell your story walking.

Okay.

-I want a divorce.
-Good.

You know what?

You can break my heart.

You're the only one
who breaks my heart.

You broke ours.

You broke our hearts.

[sighs]

I'm fucked.

Don't expect me to work
for this company anymore.

I'm done. I'm so done, Dad.

That's the word.

If you go

don't ever forget that word.

Dad.

[Davenport sighs]

[Regan sniffles]

I hope you enjoyed this.

Regan, wait up.

[Glenn] Bravo.

Nice work, Davenport.

You're leaving too?

[Glenn] I have a flight
in the morning.

You should know,
you booked it, right?

[Davenport] That's right,
I booked it.

You still want
something from me?

Why, because I'm the last man
standing, is that it?

Maybe. You know why?

'Cause you got game.

You got a shot.

If you fuck it up,
you're an asshole.

You can keep the kingdom.

May you reign
for a thousand years.

[retreating footsteps]

[sighs]

Gone.

Gone!

[somber music]

[clapping]

[door opens]

Can I get a ride?

Where you going?

[chuckles]

i don't know.

I just wanna go with you.

i love you.

[engine starts]

[Glenn]
Now, I've done
some revising

and I think if we cut
some of the design flourishes

and stick to the original plan,

we'll still be able to come in
under budget, which is nice.

So what do you guys think?

I like it.

What do you think, hun?

But it's not as creative
as the last plan was, but...

Yeah, well, maybe it's, uh,

just a little more practical,
you know.

You never wanna let
the architecture get in the way

of the functionality.

-I agree.
-Yeah.

I'm glad you guys like it.

Sold.

[foreboding music]

[Amelia] Sir, if I can begin
by saying I know

that SOM, they are angry

-and it... it's my
-[Kent] Amelia, please take

-fault. Please...
-a seat.

-I can make this right.
-Please.

Please, take a seat.

Um, in my defense, sir,

I've been loyal

-without mistake for...
-Tell me something, Amelia.

How was your weekend?

-My weekend, sir? I...
-Yeah.

Listen, we're just gonna...

We're just gonna
start over, okay?

Okay, Mr. Lear.

Oh, no.
[chuckles]

Please call me Kent.

Well I've been with Lear
and Partners for 20 years so,

I'd say that most
of my experience has been

with projects
on an international scale.

[man] Well, why'd you leave
that company?

Well, I, uh...

I wanted to try
and build something on my own.

Even if it meant starting
with something a little smaller.

[man] What makes you so sure
you're qualified

to renovate my basement?

[sighs]

[Delia] I'm doing rounds
of the local architecture firms

to see if anyone
could use an assistant.

[Glenn] Well, what kind
of job experience do you have?

The job's not for me.

I'm just helping
with the search.

It's for a woman
whose got a lot of experience

working for a big shot LA firm.

Does she still work there?

-[Delia] No.
-[door opens]

-Hey.
-[Glenn] Hi!

Um, figured I needed a change.

I would love that.
I would really love that.

[light music]

[waves crash]

I hope you don't think
I'm an awful father.

Well, you don't pay me
to offer up

my personal opinions.

You sure as hell offer them up
though, don't you?

[chuckles]
From time to time.

Just had to stop waiting
until I die.

One of the problems
with having...

a successful...
[coughs]

career, is that sometimes
you raise children

that never want to take
responsibility for themselves.

-[Tyler chuckles]
-And...

When I...

When they were saying
all those things,

it broke my heart.

It broke my fucking heart.

[coughing]

[Tyler] You all right?

-[sighs]
-So what are we gonna do now?

Well, I got...

one more thing to do
before I die.

What are you talking about?

I want you to...

-[grunts]
-What's this?

Be the...

trustee over my assets

for five years.

And when that time is done...

Forgive me, I just gotta rest.

-It's all right.
-When it's done

just make sure...

that you divide it evenly
among all them equally.

And that, uh, would include

Tom...

Diana...

my granddaughter Delia.

[sighs]

[grunts]

And after that time delay...

[coughing]

-You all right?
-Excuse me for coughing

in your face, oh.

That will have been able
to get their lives on track.

And maybe they'll resist

somehow the lifestyle
of the easy money.

Well, that actually seems
remarkably wise, sir.

Why didn't we just
do this before?

Son. Come on.

I'm an old fool.

Jesus Christ,
don't be so severe on me.

[Tyler] So what
are you gonna do now?

I got a specialist that says...

I got about a year and...

I just don't see myself
spending all that time

hooked up to a bunch of

tubes and...

uh, drooling in a bucket
while people are...

starring at me over my crib
feeling sorry for me.

Sir, you're really dying?

We're all gonna die, Tyler.

Every goddamn one of us
is gonna die.

Trust me.

It's just that sometimes
we get lucky.

You get to choose
where and when.

And I chose today.

[Tyler] What?

[Davenport] I mean, this far...

[Tyler] What are you
talking about?

Sit down, sit down, sit down.

I got you, I got you. Sit.

[Davenport] Frozen in time.

-Sit down, I got you, I got you.
-[groaning]

-Got you. I got you.
-[grunts]

Listen. It's here.

I can't get my breath.

-What's going on?
-[grunts]

All the drugs,

that's what's going on.

They're taking effect

much quicker than
I thought they would.

[Tyler] Davenport...

[Davenport] Oh, boy.

I'm an old fool.

Is heaven upon us?

Not yet.

-Look there.
-Hmm?
