the truth is,is that politics is everywhere and I just happened to be looking at the people around me.

Well,that's what I like so much about your book,is how you tied your own family into it.

Tell me,kitty,were they supportive?

-Are they supportive?
-Are they still talking to you?

you know,they-- they actually are supportive.And I-I'm lucky that way...

two to three more weeks to finish?Come on,guys,we demo at the conference in nine days.

We know.That's why we're...reassessing.

-Well,I don't understand.What happened?
-Nothing.

There are always...last-minute bugs.

It's all right.It's fine.We just need to farm out some of the code writing.

Okay.Good,good.I like that.

-How mu will that be?
-45000

-What?
-45000

But we'll make our deadline.

Listen,sarah,we can't not fix this,all ri t?

Every big tech investor is gonna be at this conference.

If the web site crashes,we're done.

-That's why we also need to lease the extra server space.-Right.

How much will that be?

-30 grand.
-Oh,god.Okay.

Plus the conference fees.

So what you're telling me is,if we don't find $120,000 by,

yesterday,we're not gonna be able to launch?

yes.

mom,I really can't talk right now.

Okay,really,really quickly.

Roger sn't delivered the plans for the center yet.

I--look,I need to know how to handle an employee who isn't living up to expectations.

I am not the person that you want to be talking to right now.

He was supposed to have them finished over two weeks ago.

Look,I don't know,mom.

Keep harassing him.

Listen,I have my own deadline crisis to deal with right now.

I just woke up to find that greenatopia has one foot in the grave.

In the grave?

Yes,mother,the grave.

if I don't come up with $120,000 today,

we won't make our conference,which means we'll fail before we launch.

I might as well jump off a bridge,

because the last three months of my life will have proven to be completely futile.

-Sarah.
-I'm just joking mother.

I'll figure something out.I always do because I have to,and I will.

-Good-bye.
-Okay,bye.

-how on earth did you pull it off?
-I-I don't know.I mostly just jotted down thoughts and

-- but,you know,the book really didn't take shape until the campaign was over and I had some time to reflect.

-but tell me,kitty...
-I need to be able to know that I can talk to you...

-As a trusted member of my political team...
-you get your husband back for one thing.

not that becoming the first lady would've been so bad,either?

no,I am-- I'm grateful that I get to be home...

I need you to do me a favor.

I want a meeting,and it has to be a sit-down...

with gordon alexander.

Is this our ask or theirs?

I'm asking for the meeting.

-He's only here a few days...
-that's what I like so much about your book,

-is how you tied your own family into it.
-tell me,kitty,were they supportive?

-Are they supportive?
-Are they still talking to you?

you know,they-- they actually are supportive.I'm-- I'm very lucky that way.

Okay,jumping on it.Calling the mysterious man with two first names.

-Thank you.
-Let's say hi to them,okay?

Hi,kitty's family!

Hi,walkers!

It was great.

You were great.

Well,thanks.

just say it,mother.You thought I gave a lousy interview.

Honey,I told you,I tught you were wonderful.

It's just I thought you were the messenger,delivering roger's plans for my treatment center.

I don't know what is taking him so long.

Okay.Okay,fine.

That explains your less-than-enthusiastic response,but it doesn't explain robert'S.

He--he barely noticed that I was on the screen.

Oh,milk.Yuck.

Could I get you your own cup?

That would be great.Black,please.

Honey,you know,you have been giving a lot of interviews.

Well,I'm t saying that the world has to stop,

but he was on the phone the entire time,talking business with kevin.

Maybe it's hard for him.

You're in the spotlight now.

He's not used to it.

He's "the senator.

" Exactly,and he won this position by making constituents believe that he really is interested in their lives.

I'm sorry,but pay me the same courtesy.

well,if it--if it makes you feel any better,

we're all very excited about coming to your book reading tomorrow.

Really?E-everybody's going?

Oh,yeah.

He ma,do you have any,uh,utensils,like forks,knives or a,you know,a whisk?

-in the top drawer right there.
-all right.

Did he just ask for a whisk?

I did.

mom,how many spatulas do you have?

so when's the big moving day?

big moving day is tomorrow.

that means I can't make your thing tomorrow.

Justin,you're not moving into a palace,for god sake.It's not gonna take you all day.

You're right.It's actually gonna take longer,just to make that place livable.

So I'm outta here.I love you.

-I'm sorry.You love m- -Whatever.

- mom. -You know what?

You can't have this one.

I like...fine.

so much for family support.

You know,honey,I wanted to talk to you about that.

I really think that sarah could use some.Support,

-that is. -Why?

I-I-is everything okay?

Well...you know that technology conference that's coming up?

They don't have the money to be ready in time.

Wait a minute.Thought that every potential investor goes to that thing.

I know.GoD.

If you could've seen how upset sarah is...

of course,it was sarah,and she was trying to hide it.

I would offer my help,but every dime I have is going into the center.

Tommy's still digging out ojai.

Kevin is making youold government salary,and justin can't afford a whisk.

How much does she need?

It--it would just be a short-term loan.

How much?

No,are you-- I know.It's a lot of money,

but you would get the money back,just as soon as the conference is over.

And sarah is sure that they're gonna walk away with a huginflux of cash.

Well,what if she doesn't?

Well,that's not very supportive.

mother,don't you do that.

Don't turn it--I,of-- of course I want to be supporve,but if-- great.

Okay,so,kitty,don't just hand her a check,all right?

You have to make it feel like it was her idea.

you know how sensitive she is about needing help.

Justin,I--you know what?I said you could have a few items...Not the entire kitchen.

ReX.It's from roger.A messenger just dropped it off.

No.No,no,no.The plans--

-they come all rolled up in a tube thing. -No,no.No,no.

I don't think this could be plans.It's gotta be a model or something.

-let's open it up.Come on,--No.-No,no,no,no.

-Let's not open it.Let's just wait.No,no,no,no. --Let's just open it,mom.Let's open it.

Oh.God.

Don't hurt it.

The portico will go,but I'm leaving a few of the neocolonial flourishes.

That way,there will be a conversation between american pretension and asian aesthetic,culminating in...

oh,hello.

I-I don't-- I don't want to interrupt.

No,not at all.Your timing is perfect.

Christopher,go and help mrs.Walker with the model.

no,no,it's fine,it's fine.

It's--oh,okay.That's good,too.

I was just explaining our concept.But now that you're here,

why don't you tell us your reactions to the design?

I don't-- I don't think-- roger,can I just speak with you privately for a moment?

Nora,don't be shy.

You're the client.

Tell us what you think.

- maybe later. -Please.

You'll be doing my young associates a favor,giving them a tutorial in architect-client relations.

Well,um...

the concept is very exciting,certainly.

But I have to say that...

I was hoping for something a little more traditional.

Go on.

well,this concept is not exactly what we discussed.

Well done.

You've just given us a-a textbook example of how an inexperienced layperson reacts to a new

and unconventional project.Please continue.

Well,yes,I suppose I am inexperienced,roger,but I thought we agreed on something warm and nurturing and cheerful.

This is what happens when a client has a limited architectural vocabulary.

They speak in clich�s,so naturally they expect a clich�d design.

Half our job as architects is to educate our clients.

I did not expect a clich?

nor did I expect a cold glass tube pasted to the back of the house.

This is not a tube.This is a tower--a warm,cheerful,nurturing tower.

I suppose it is nurturing if you're a hothouse tomato!

But I think our residents would appreciate a little something called privacy.

How.....- no doubt you want to stitch up some dreadful gingham curtains and make the whole thing traditional.

Roger,I'm just really frightened that this design wouldn't pass the safety inspection.

All the glass and everything-- I mean,a great big tree could topple over and just smash the whole thing to smithereens!

And I believe that is the end of the tutorial for the day.

Season 3 Episode 12

Kevin.

What's going on with the alexander meeting? I don't see it on my agenda.

good morning to you.And F.Y.I.

--My law degree makes me slightly overqualified to book meetings.

I just do not want this going through the office gossip mill.

-What's so top secret?
-What the hell's the holdup?

Relax,it's in the works.Right now,the only time he's available,you're not.

-Well,cancel whatever it is I have
-kitty's book signing?

-I've read the book.
-I don't think she wants a book report.

She's probably more interested in your support.

Well,she's got it.I-I just watched her on "regis and kelly.

" Believe me,she--she'll be fine.

Are you sure?

Because she was with you for every rally,every speech.

Every time you wanted her by your side,she was there.

Let me worry about my wife.

I'm only ting to protect your best interests.

Book the meeting.

did you see it in today's paper?

Wee--we're trying to get as many people as we can.

My--my publicist wants a line snaking out the door.

Since when do you have a publicist?

Well,she works for my-- my publisher.

I thought this was just a simple book signing.

Well,yeah,it is,but they're having a very fancy reception afterwards with--with press.

What--what--what do you think I should wear?

Do you think I should sell the sizzle or the--the steak?

Kitty.

Honey,it's--it's deaning to refer to yourself as beef.

but if you want to sell books--sizzle.

I mean,look at ann coulter.She sells millions of books.And believe me,there ain't no protein in that package.

So tell me,will you-- what--what did sarah say when you spoke wither?

I've just--I just haven't had a-a chance yet.

Kitty,she's under tremendous time pressure.

You know,I was actually just about to call her when--

when I got interrupted by-- by--by your phone call.

well,all right,it's probably better in person,anyway.

saul's here.

I have to go.

but just remember now,it has to feel like it was her idea.

Okay,I know.

You've-- you've told me.

Okay.Bye.

is that all you've got?

Well,I'm sorry that my architectural library is insufficient.

I'm sure roger has plenty of books.

Roger is my problem.Condescending jerk.

But no more.I'm gonna learn his lingo.

So when I tell him to stick his plans his flying buttress,I'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

Please,just don't be antagonistic.

Why are you taking his side?

Just look at the drawings that he sent over for the exterior.

Look at that,it's absurd.

Well,it may not be your cup of tea,but objectively speaking,this is very innovative.

Objectivity is not paying the bills.

I am.

And it's too modern.

It's--it's cold.

Okay,I admit that it might be a little unusual for a residential project,but I see what he's going for.

I mean,the asian vernacular-- it lets in all that light.

It's meditative and calming.

This is for the families of seriously ill children.

It's supposed to feel like a home away from home,not a museum,not a yoga retreat.

You just asked me what I thought-- okay,all right,sorry.

I'm sorry.

Do you want a ride tonight to kitty's book signing?

no,I don't think tonight's gonna be good.Anyway,

there'gonna be a rush of people there,so she won't even know that I'm not there.

What?

You've got a date tonight.

oh,my god.

Why are you so obsessed with my social life?

I'm not obsessed.

My favorite brother-- only brother.

Well,in this family,you never know.

Okay,my only brother,when he finds someone that he cares about,I wanna know him.

Well,you will,when the time is right.

But just not tonight.

Be a good girl.

Oh,shut up.

-= www.OpenSubtitles.org =-

Tommy,it's--it's good to see you.How's elizabeth?

Much better.Tha you.

You and julia must be so relieved.

we are.

can you give us a minute?

sure.actually,I'll take these to graphics.

Okay,get me a copy of that one.

Thanks.

why are we in talks with blackridge wholesale?

Last time I checked,this company handles its own distribution.

Maybe up until now.

But with the economy being the way it is

right,which is exactly why we shouldn't pursue this.

I mean,half of this company's profits come from our distribution,

and you want to,what,just hand that money over to blackridge?

No,no,I don't want to,tommy.

We have to.

We have to start moving units around to lower our price point.

I mean,people are gonna stop buying.

It's a good move.

So why wasn't I consulted?

Well,I-I didn't want to pull you away from elizabeth's bedside to bring you into the office to

talk about distri-- it is a phone call,holly.

I tried.

More than once.

The board wanted an immediate proposal.

This went to the board?

YeS.

and they signed off on it unanimously.

The deal's already gone to legal.

Now if you want to take it up with them,then go ahead.I--

Thanks.Thanks for your permission.

Tommy,if you have a better idea than this one to stave off this huge financial hit in this climate,

I would love to know what it is.
-Why?My opinion doesn't matter around here.

Whaare you guys typing?

it's an algorithm for a given class of problems,of which we have many.

Don't bother them,kitty.They have a lot to do.

No,no.I-I can see that you guys are really--really under the gun.

Have you--have you,I don't know,thought about hiring some extra hands or--or--or minds?

thonly people we could afford to hire right now are people prepared to work for free.

Right,well,you know,I mean--I mean,I-I don't know,but have you considered maybe asking for help?

Yes,actually.

I've applied for an emergency small business loan.

well,I applied to harvard.It's not like I got in.

But I don't want to talk about it.

you know,sarah,I-I totally understand,but,

you know,you know,things have actually been going pretty well for me recently.

good,good,is that supposed to make me feel better?

you know what?This is like pulling teeth.Fine.Here.

I wrote you a check.

I'm sorry it wasn't your idea.

-Check? -Yes.

Oh,my god,that's amazing.

$120,000?

mom told you.

Well,thank you.

No,I can't accept it.

Family and money don't mix.

Sarah,we--we have a family business.

look how that turned out.

No,no,no,no,no.

No,no,sarah,I'm sorry,but you--you have to be realistic right now.

I mean,this is not a good time to get a loan.

You may be right,but I don't want a handout.

give it to me.I love handouts.

I can't believe mom felt the need to broadcast my problems.

Look,sarah,if you need the money-- we do.We need the money.

-We don'T. -Here,fine,take it.

So what?

So what if you're--you're in a little over your heads?

God,you always do this.

You swoop in.

-I do not swoop. -Yes,you do.

You swoop in on your high horse and--what horse?

I'm sorry.I think I'm here to help you.

I didn't ask for your help,kitty.

Give her the check.

Ethan,give her that check.

No...

I don't need my condescending sister-- condescending?

She didn't mean that.

Do you know what?You know what,sarah?

I find this really hard to believe,because this is about preserving your company.

What happened to all your republican values of self-reliance?

god.You're not gonna bring in my--my politics now?

I voted republican once.

You know,so what if I'm doing a little bit better than you right now?

You honestlyhink you're doing better than me because you're hawking your book all over creation?

Hawking?Hawking my book?Hawking my book?Oh,I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry that I tried to help you.

You know what,sarah?I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry that I came to help.

Gosh,I'm sorry.

I am never gonna come and help again,that's for sure.

Not only did she treat my check like it had anthrax ont,e--she said some really hurtful things.

like what?

Okay,like,like I was being condescending.

that's nothing.

I say that all the time.

And I always "swoop in."

she called you a swooper?That really is unforgivable.

It wasn't even my idea,okay?

It was mom'S.Mom.

Mom was the one who wanted to swoop in.

I-I don't even know why i got myself all sucked up in it.

Because you're a nice person,and you forget what sarah's like when her pride's on the line.

well,guess what.She's not the only one in this family who has pride,

and if she gives me any attitude at the book signing tonight,I-- about that...

Don't-- no,don't tell me.Robert-- robert isn't coming.

Him,me...

-you?
-Well,look,I'm really sorry.

He's making me go to some meeting with a fat-cat real estate mogul from sacramento.

What fat cat?

Kevin.

What fat cat?

gordon alexander.

oh,my god.Oh,my god.

What?

He's angling for governor.

Who?

Robert.

Don't be ridiculous.

I'm not.If someone wants to run for state office in california,you have to go through gordon alexander.

Come on,if robert had any intention of running for governor,I think I'd know.

Well,did you ask him?

No.

Okay,kevin,you have to find out.

-Who,me?
-you.He's not gonna tell me until he's absolutely sure.

Well,I--you know what?

I really don't think you have anything worry about.

I hope not,because if he is-- he's not.

just find out,kevin.

I gotta go.

mom

There you are.

Sarah,I'm so glad you're here.

You're a very smart woman.

Can you explain to me the difference between "neoclassicism" and "neo-palladian"?

Mom,why did you tell kitty that I was in over my head?

I never said that.

Oh,so when she descended from on high,whips out her checkbook...

she whipped out her-- oh,god.

I told her to be tactful.

Oh,come on,mom.Kitty don't do tact.

Why did you have to paint such a dire picture?

Well,I wasn't trying to be dire.

You said you had one foot in the grave--your words.

Yes,but the other foot was in the bank.

I was taking care of it.

Sweetheart,why is it so hard for you to ask for help?

Excuse me?

This is what happened at ojai.

The company almost went under.

I had to force you to make a deal.

So I have a history of failure.

That's what you're saying.

You have a history of pride.

Just when you need the ones who love you the most,you shut us out.

But if you--if you'd rather go to the bank,that's fine.

That's fine.

Mom,I'm a businesswoman.

Of course I would prefer to deal with the bank.

Unfortunately,the bank option is no longer available.

Greenatopia can't qualify for a loan without proving income.

We'll never prove income if we can't qualify for a loan.

I can't believe this economy.

You know,if this were at any other time...

maybe you're right.I have screwed up again.

Why don't you take kitty's check?

Because that would be like diving into a lake in the middle of winter in maine.

Well,I'd think about it if I were you.

You remember crawford orchards in the valley,right?

Yeah,sure.

Sold to developers a decade ago.

well,they never built on that land.

Look at this--nearly 2,000 acres already zoned,just sitting there.

Yeah,so?

So we buy it.

Who's "we"--you and holly?

Nope.

-You and me
-come on,tommy.

That's ridiculous.I'm retired.

I'm--I'm in no position to buy any orchards.

Listen to me.

We--we set up a shell corporation with the two of us as silent owrs.

We make it seem like there's a new grower out there looking to partner up with a company like ojai--

what are you talking about?Ojai doesn't he the kind of cash reserves you need to make a purchase like that.

That's my point.

Ojai will pay in shares.

We'll insist on it.

And once we're offered,say,

10% stake in the company,which we combine with my already existing shar-- okay,tommy,stop.

I don't want to hear anymore.

I see where you're going with this.

You seize majority control,right?

Then you vote a-a new board of directors,and then you fire holly.

Okay,so what do you think?

No.

What do you mean,no?

I mean no.

This is borderline illegal.

You would have t falsify documents in order to withhold your identity in a sale.

Not to mention if holly or anybody on the board of directors ever found out that you were working behind their backs,

you would be out of ojai forever.

Saul,I owe it to my family to get this company back.

This is my shot.

You said you wanted holly out.

I do,but not like this,tommy.

I'm sorry.No.

Are you ready?

Almost.

Thank you so much for coming over.

I,wasn't sure that my voice mail apology was convincing enough.

Oh,it was.It was.

And--and considering how nervous I am,I'm very glad to have the company on the way over.

I really didn't mean to come down on you like that.

I-I guess--you know what?It's the stress.

No,no,it's fine.You know,it was.

It was a little patronizing for me to just show up here with a check.

No,you were very generous,and I had a meltdown.

No,you said no out of self-respect.

you made a lot of good points.

I did?

i mean,what kind of a republican am i

if I don't believe in the power of the individual to achieve his or her own success?

well,the thing is,this indidua has run out of options.

What do you mean?

Kitty,I would like to reconsider your offer.

No.No.

No,no,no,don't do that.

You--you were right the first time.

Maybe I was,but,e business loan that we applied for fell through.

So this is it.

This is the end of the line.

No,there's got to be another way to get a loan.

I mean,what about your home equity line?

A second mortgage on my home?

Are you out of your mind?

I can't do that.

I can't take that kind of risk.

Oh,but it's okay for me to take it?

Well,kitty,you just-- you wrote best seller.

You--you--you're flush.

Flush?

I wrote a book.

I didn't win the lottery.

Right.

great,great.

So I-I finally ask for help,and you,

no,sarah,if you believe in this company as much as you say you do,

then you're gonna have to put more of yourself on the line.

Why don't you just be honest,kitty,and say you never wanted to lend me any money and mom guilted you into it?

Okay,if you mean my first instinct's not to get involved...

look,look,I'm allowed to have reservations,okay?

You said it yourself.

Well,but you-- money and family don't always mix.

That's pretty strange coming from someone who's making a fortune out of writing about hers.

That's not fair.

it is,and if you would stop being so self-righteous,

you would realize how completely ludicrous it is to hear those words come out of your mouth.

I mean,honestly,I'm curious.

Which one of us are you gonna cannibalize tonight?

If you feel that way,why are you coming?

I'm not.

Fine.Stay home.

But you' responsible for your life,not me.

mom,hi.

We're--we're-- we're about to start.

Oh,god.Kitty,what have I done?

Well,I don't know,but you need to sit down now because we're starting.

No��Roger

I smashed his model.

And look at this building...

and this building.

Saul was right.

He's not an architect...

he's a poet.

I just didn't understand.

Oh,do you think he'll ever forgive me?

You know,mom,I'm never gonna forgive you if you don't sit dow please.

We're-- we're starting.

I mean-- right,okay.

Senator,believe me,I admire the way you've handled yourself in that snake pit they call D.C.

The last thing that I want is to become a creature of washington.

So I've been thinking more and more about reconnecting with my base in california.

You sound a little homesick.

Maybe I am.

You kn,I've got a shoot coming up soon.

Quail.

You care to join us?

I have a new over-under I've been itching to break out.

How about you,kevin?

You hunt?

you know,a-a democrat in the woods with a bunch of gun-toting republicans...

I don't think "moving target" was part of my job description.

no,I think it's a great idea.

He might actually be the kind of target I can hit.

Oh,now don't be so modest.

Very funny.

No,seriously,kevin,you should join us.

You'd appreciate the california quail.

No matter how far they migrate,they always come home again.

Right,senator?

Yes,they do.

"as with every bipartisan debate,"my family's arguments are never easy or clean.

"They're messy battles,"always hard-won and rarely fought fair.

"But out of our differences,a give-and-take emerges.

"We rally for each other's hardships "and share in each other's triumphs.

"And even when compromise can't be found,our hope for it is never lost.

listen,about the hunting,don't worry.I'm a good enough shot for both of us

I'm not worried about the hunting...

much.

Well,if you're worried about that book signing-- are you running for governor?

"Migrating home." "Being homesick.

" You didn't think I'd realize who we were meeting with?

Kitty asked you to do this,didn't she?

This has nothing to do with ki--I was there.

I saw you practically kissing--please,you and I both know you haven't been in the game long enough

to know the potential implications of that meeting.

I might've said something in passing,but I didn't think it was--

look,I asked you to keep this discreet,and that includes kitty.

I'm sorry.

If you're gonna put your name in the hat for governor,don't you think she has the right to know?

Look,kevin,your job-- is not to lie to my sister.

If she has questions she wants answered,she can come to me.

She doesn't think she'll get the truth from you.

Don't you think that's a problem?

No.Kitty keeping tabs on me through you--that's a problem.

senator,we're here.

Night.

Good night.

How is my little elizabeth doing today?

She's amazing.

As good as new.

I'm so happy for you guys.

it's so weird being back here.

It's like that feeling when you go back to your old high school...

not that I ever attended any of my reunions.

speaking of the old days,

do you remember when youused to wander into my room and want to talk about my hockey team or algebra class,

but really you just had a fight with kitty?

Am I really that transparent?

No.Kevin told me about it.

Did he tell you kitty stormed out of my house twice in two days?

It is like high school.

All we need is mom between the o of you,playing peacemaker.

Are you kidding me?

Mom started this.

She's the reason kitty gave me the check.

Yeah,I heard you acted like it was laced with anthrax.

'Cause I thought I didn't need it until I did.

Then kitty does a 180-degree turn and gives me a lecture about pulling myself up by my bootstraps.

Well,maybe she has a point.

I forgot I was talking to another republican.

It's not about being a republican.

when you ****company

built sth****

that means shouldering the risk.

No,that means taking out a second mortgage on my home

well,if you believe the company will be a success,it is your gamble.

Gambling was dad's thing.

Do you ever envy dad,the way he could just- do whatever it took?

Right.I mean,he took money out of the pension fund to back an investment he believed in.

Son of a bitch-- it paid off.

he'd just tell me to do it,wouldn't he?

He'd just say,"take the risk.

" In a heartbeat.

oh,I'm so proud of you.

You were so poised and articulate.

Well,too bad nobody was there to see it.

What do you mean?

The place was packed.

mom,come on.

Just--just stop it.

I mean--I-I'll be lucky if sarah ever talks to me again,

and my husband is so busy planning his political comeback that he doesn't even-- political comeback?

you know what?It doesn't even matter.

The point is,he wast there.

-No.
-Is it that impossible to bsupportive or-- or to just be happy for me?

Okay,maybe they feel that way now.So what?

They'll get over it.

Oh,okay.Well,thank you,mother.

You're incredibly empathetic.

You can't sit on your hands so other people will feel better about themselves.

God.Kitty,I did that my whole life.

when I think of all the great ideas I gave your father and just pretended they weren't mine.

And he let me do it,of course.

Sometimes I think,what if I hadn't done that?

What if I had taken credit where credit was due?

I was a more powerful woman than I let myself be.

Yeah,I'll bet.

I don't want you to do that.

I don't want you to make that mistake.

you won't do anyone any good by pretending to be less than what you are.

What's going on?

I'm just reviewing last year's advertising contracts.

You know,a lot of the layouts came in late.

Yeah,don't worry.

Soon,there will be fewer people for you to browbeat.

Why,are there more cuts coming?

Well,if your mom has anything to do with it.

According to her,we're losing money by the minute.

I'm sorry.

We're having a little disagreement over cost-cutting strategies.

I don't--I don't mean to put you in the middle of it.

No,wait.So--so you're not in favor of selling through a wholesaler?

No,I think you can mess with the distribution side of things all you want

but unless we grow all our grapes ourlves,we're always at the mercy of the supplier.I mean,

at the end of the day,they can charge us what they want because we don't own enough land to supply ourselves.

I mean,I think that's what hurts us the most.

But why can't we?

I mean,why-- this may sound stupid-- but why can't we just...

buy more land?

I guess,theoretically,we can.

I mean,it tak years for orchards to cultivate,

and maybe there's a grower out there with enough acreage...it's a long shot.

But don't you think that we should investigate it?

You know,I was looking at all of the new marketing that we would have to do if we do decide to switch over to selling wholesale,

and it changes the whole identity of our brand.

You know,I hadn't thought about it from that angle,but maybe you're right.

Maybe it's something we should pursue.

Do youind if I run it by my mom?

No,it's-- it's your idea.

I'd--I'd support it.

Really?

thank you,tommy.

Anytime.

I'm checking on the rebar now.

Anyway...

no,thank you.

I,I don't need any demolition work today.

Yes,well,I guess I deserved that.

may I speak with you privately,please?

Of course.

Look,if you have something serious to say,you'd better remove that hat.

Why,does it look ridiculous?

No,you look adorable,actually.

Yes...

well,roger,it has come to my attention that I'm a nincompoop.

I've been giving myself a crash course in architecture,primarily everything roger grant.

And I-I realized that you're--you're a-A...

I think the word you're searching for is "genius.

" I was gonna say "visionary.

" Oh,that's apt as well you were right.

I am inexperienced.

I-I didn't understand your style and your passion for modern design,but I-I do now,or I'm-- I'm--I'm starting to.

Well,I'm glad.

Thank you.

So shall we proceed from my plans?

No.

You see,I have a vision,too,and I am as passionate about that as you are about yours.

Roger,your buildings-- they're your legacy.

They'll last a hundred years or more.

But up till now,my legacy's been my children and my grandchildren.

I'm very proud of that,but the center is-- is my chance to create something solid and--and useful that didn't exist before I imagined it.

I-I've waited my whole life to create something like that.

I can't just hand it over to somebody else,even if that someone else is as talented...

as you are.

I completely understand.

You do?

And I won't leave you in the lurch.

I'll assign my best young associate.

Mr.Chao!

well,I wa--I was hoping that m-maybe it would-- competing visions never work out,but yore in safe hands.

In fact,christopher built the model sed on my design.

He's a brilliant young man.

Christopher,I believe you know mrs.Walker.

Nice to see you again.

You will be working with her to come up with a new design for her center.

I'd be honored.

Sorry about the model.

come in.

What's up?

I'm sorry I snapped at you last night.

This who familial conflict of interest...

it's confusing.

Yes,it is,and you know what?

It can't be.

I need to be able to know that I can talk to you as a trusted member of my political team.

I agree.

It's the same conclusion I came to last night.

good,good,'cause,um...

kevin,I'm running for governor.

You are?

Yeah,and I'm not ready to talk to kitty about this.

Once I get what I need in place,kitty will be the first to know.

And in the meantime?

I'm not asking you to lie to your sister,but I'm not talking to you as your brother-in-law.

I'm talking to you as someone who wants you to be a crucial part of this campaign.

Now whether you want to do it or not,that's up to you.

But I think,together,you and I can great things.

I'm here to meet the author.

Sarah,sarah,I can't-- I can't keep going back and forth like this with you.

Come on,I'm not here about the money.

You were right not to give me the money.

I was?

Yes.

I can't expect you to take a risk for me that I'm not willing to take for myself I've applied for a second mortgage.

Good for you.

Good for me.

I do believe in my company,kitty.

And if it doesn't work out...

how many bedrooms do you have here?

could you imagine?

Coop would break everything you own.

Coop?What about you and me?

We barely made it to adulthood under one roof.

that's true.

Thank god for summer camp.

Otherwise,one of us would be dead.

The other would be in jail.

You know,it's--it not that I-I don't want to be there for you,sarah.

It's-- I know.

You were.

You are.

But you know what dad would've said?

"Always bet on yourself.

" Yeah.

He was right.

Let's just hope the bank thinks I'm a good bet.

You know,uh,maybe there is one thing I could do.

So when the title search comes in,you'll be good to go.

And nce you are acting as guarantor,you'll need to come in,too.

Oh,okay,well,that's no problem.

We'll,we'll make a day of it.

So the funds will be deposited then?

Exactly.

Great.

All right then.

That should do it.

I'll just run off a copy for your records.

Thank you.

My hand hurts.

Oh,really?

Because I was hoping that you would sign one more thing.

-Oh,sarah... -no.

Sarah,no,no,you don't have to do that.

Please.

I hate that I wasn't there.

I'm sorry.

All right.

thanks.

Christopher?

I'm so excited.

I love it.

It's--it's perfect.

It's fresh and new and traditional all at the same time.

mrs.Walker-- and I love that it feels like a roger grant design,only quieter.

It's like you listenedo him and you listened to me and you amalgamated our visions together into one perfect union.

Roger.

I didn't know you were here.

You'rehris have to give christopher a raise and a promotion.

He's very talented.

I don't like to throw around the word "genius," but-- oh,I...

didn't do it,mrs.Walker.It wasn't my design.

It was his.

You did these?

I had to.

Christopher was frightened there might be violence if you didn't like what he came up with.

Well,I-I hope you didn't have to compromise your vision.

I never compromise my vision,but it's been a very long time since someone turned me down on anything.

It was,bracing.

Is that a compliment?

It was more of a compliment to myself.

Do you do that often?

Never enough.

Nora,your ideas were good.

I respect your vision.

And I suppose I like a challenge.

What are those,new drawings?

Yes.

Do you want to have a look?

Oh,it's the kitchen.

I thought the parents might like to have a communal area where they can make supper together.

Do you really think that's enough counter space?

Ooh,no,no,no.

when's the last time you did any cooking?

No,no,no,you've gotta bring that out,like way out like that,and...

so I was talking to rebecca about teaming up with an outside grower,owning more orchards.

Yeah,I think that has some real potential.

What do you think?

It certainly is another way for us to keep our costs down.

I mean,I have been thinking about your reservations,and maybe I was a little too focused on short-term.

Maybe wholesale is not the way to go.

You know,I have to say,when rebecca first started speculating about this,it made sense.

You know,she has a knack,holly.

I know.

I have been astounded.

I never would've guessed that she would take to business like this.

You should be proud.

I am.

I,I've got a lot of relationships with growers in the valley.

Why don't I,why don't I make a call?

Great.

Let me know what you find out.

Of course.

It's nice to be back on the same page.

It is.

Did you find out anything?

Yeah,yeah,I meant to call you.

He's not running.

Oh,thank god.

But,hey,I mean,you know him.

It doesn't mean he's not gonna be busy.

He's a--he's a senator.

Well,I know.I don't care.

I was just terrified that I was gonna spend the first couple of months of my baby's life,

you know,working the crowds in cucamonga.

-there you are.
-Well,hey.

-Ready to go to lunch? -Well,yeah,yeah.

I'm--I'm starving.

You seem like you're in a good mood.

Yeah,well,actually,I am.

I like it.

Should we go?

We'll see you later,kev.

Have a great time.

Thanks.
