( theme music playing )

( strums guitar )

Bill:
WE SHOOK HANDS,
WE WENT OUR SEPARATE WAYS,

- AND THAT IS ALL SHE WROTE!
- ( radio chatter )

LOOK AT YOU.
LOOK HOW HAPPY YOU ARE.

A HUGE WEIGHT IS GONE!

SO... WE ARE CELEBRATING.

I'VE INVITED DON
AND FAMILY TO A BARBECUE--

A SORT OF... ENGAGEMENT
PARTY FOR BETTY.

I'VE ORDERED LOBSTERS.

I'LL DIG A FIRE PIT
IN THE BACKYARD.

LOBSTERS?
FOR EVERYONE?

I MEAN, THAT'S
A LOT OF LOBSTER.

WELL, IT'S A BIG DAY
FOR DON AND FOR US.

THERE'S NO SIN
IN A RARE EXTRAVAGANCE.

( rock song playing )

OOGA-TA-POO-SA-GA-SO-LA-ARGH!

( baby giggles )

Man on TV:
"Christian Story Time."

- THERE'S DADDY.
- Wayne: DADDY!

- HEY! AH!
- ( TV theme song playing )

HOW ARE YA, BABY?

( growls )
LET'S SEE WHAT WE GOT.

OOH, YEAH.

- ( Bill sighs )
- ( coins tinkle )

HEY. OH.

OH, WHAT'S DADDY
HAVE FOR RAYMOND?

- OOH.
- Nicki: OOH.

DON'T BE SAD.
DADDY'S BEING
VERY GENEROUS.

OKAY, EN.

GIVE ME THE 10
AND I'LL GET YOU
SOME PENNIES.

Wayne:
COME ON, RAY!
IT'S THE JESUS SHOW!

SO WHAT'S
THE OCCASION, DADDY?

BUSINESS IS-- OW...

TV narrator:
Jonah and the Whale--

...LOOKING UP.

TV narrator:
The tiny boat capsized.
Jonah was thrown...

WHEN I WAS LIVING
ON THE STREETS,

I USED TO DREAM OF HAVING
JUST ONE THING OF MY OWN,

JUST ONE THING
TO BE PROUD OF
THAT WAS MINE.

AND NOW I HAVE
THREE BEAUTIFUL WIVES,

SEVEN PERFECT CHILDREN,

AND I'M ABOUT TO ADD
A THIRD STORE TO THIS FAMILY--

FREE AND CLEAR.

- OUR THIRD STORE...
- MMM.

...FREE AND CLEAR.

( gasping and moaning )

HERE IT COMES.
HERE IT COMES.

HERE IT COMES.
OH!

OOH.

OOH, I LIKE IT
WHEN YOU'RE IN CONTROL.

( giggles )

MMM.

OH.

OOH.

( sighs )

I LOVE YOU, BILL.

I LOVE YOU TOO.

HOW MUCH?

OH, I'D SAY IT'S...

ASTRONOMICAL.

BEYOND ALL MEASURE.

MMM.

( sighs )

I'M $58,000 IN DEBT.

MMM.

I WAS WAITING FOR THE RIGHT
TIME TO TELL YOU.

RIGHT TIME?

WELL, WHO--
WELL, WHO DO YOU OWE?

AMERICAN EXPRESS.

HOW DID YOU GET
A CREDIT CARD?

( sighs )
I DON'T REMEMBER.

I FILLED OUT A FORM
AND THEY SENT ME ONE.

WITH A $60,000 LIMIT?!

I HAVE A FEW CARDS.

HOW MANY?

NINE.

WHAT?! I MEAN,
HOW DID YOU--

OH, NICKI,
HOW COULD YOU?!

BILL.

JEEZ!

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

PLEASE TALK TO ME.

COME BACK INSIDE.
SOMEONE MIGHT SEE YOU.

( starts engine )

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

I DON'T KNOW.

- BILL.
- NICKI.

( door slams )

I OVERSLEPT.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT NICKI'S FINANCES?

SHE GETS HER
$850-A-MONTH ALLOWANCE
LIKE THE REST OF US.

I'M TALKING ABOUT
EXCESSIVE SHOPPING.

WELL, SHE'S BEEN DOING
MOST OF THE SHOPPING
SINCE I STARTED WORK.

I CAN STEP BACK IN
IF YOU WANT.

Bill:
SHE'S IN DEBT
UP TO HER EYEBALLS!

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

SHE OWES
ALMOST 60 GRAND!

- OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
JUST CALM DOWN.
- CALM DOWN?

I CAN'T IMAGINE
A BIGGER TRANSGRESSION.

I MEAN, SHE'S PULLED
SOME BONERS, BUT THIS--
THIS IS JUST-- OH.

Barb:
WELL, I THINK THAT THERE'S
A WAY TO REFINANCE.

WE CONSOLIDATE ONTO ONE
OR TWO CARDS,

AND WE'LL JUST CUT UP
THE REST.

YOU KNEW, DIDN'T YOU?

- HOW LONG HAVE YOU
KNOWN ABOUT IT?
- NOT LONG.

NICKI.

MORNING, BARB.
HAVE YOU SEEN BILL?

UNFORTUNATELY, YES.

I MEAN, NICKI,
WHAT HAVE YOU
GONE AND DONE?

NOTHING.

BILL AND ME, WE HAD

A MISUNDERSTANDING
LAST NIGHT IS ALL.

A MISUNDERSTANDING?

I DIDN'T TELL HIM
YOU KNEW ANYTHING
ABOUT IT.

WELL, I DID.
HE GRILLED ME
AND I IMPLICATED MYSELF.

I THINK THE LEAST
YOU COULD HAVE DONE WAS
GIVE ME SOME WARNING.

I'M SORRY, I JUST--
I COULDN'T TAKE IT
ANYMORE,

AND LAST NIGHT HE WAS
IN SUCH A GOOD MOOD,
IT JUST POPPED OUT.

- HI. WHAT POPPED OUT?
- NOTHING.

- EVERYTHING OKAY?
- WE'RE TAKING CARE OF IT,
MARGENE.

- TAKING CARE OF WHAT?
- MARGENE.

BILL, PLEASE,
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

I HAVE NOTHING
TO SAY TO YOU.

AND I WANT TO SEE
ALL OF YOUR CREDIT CARD
STATEMENTS.

OKAY, PLEASE TELL ME--
WHAT CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS?

- ( baby crying on monitor )
- MARGIE, GO.

YOUR BABIES
ARE EATING BUGS.

TRADE NIGHTS WITH ME.

I NEED TONIGHT TO STRAIGHTEN
THIS OUT WITH HIM.

Barb:
I'M AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO
TAKE MORE THAN ONE NIGHT.

OH, THIS IS JUST A LITTLE
GLITCH IS ALL.

- ( doorbell rings )
- TURNS OUT EVERYONE
IN THE COMPOUND IS IN DEBT.

I MEAN, BANKRUPTCIES
RIGHT AND LEFT.

IT'S VERY COMMON
NOWADAYS.

HOW COME I'M ALWAYS
THE LAST ONE TO KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON?

- MARGIE, IT'S PERSONAL.
- Barb: JOJO. HI.
COME ON IN--

IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
EVERYTHING'S UNDER CONTROL.

I WOULDN'T HAVE TOLD
BARB ANYTHING EITHER,

BUT SHE'S A SNOOP.

HI, EVERYONE.

WE'RE ALL SO EXCITED
ABOUT SUNDAY.

THANK YOU FOR HOSTING OUR
ENGAGEMENT PARTY WITH BETTY.

I WAS HOPING
THAT WHILE I WAS HERE

I COULD PRACTICE
A SONG I'M WORKING ON.

IT'S A SURPRISE.

OH-HO-HO.
WELL, OF COURSE.

WHY DON'T YOU
SIT OUT BY THE POOL
AND ENJOY THE FRESH AIR?

- THANK YOU.
- MM-HMM.

YOU'RE GONNA LOVE BETTY,
BY THE WAY.
( giggles )

SHE'S GOT THIS,
I DON'T KNOW--
THIS AURA ABOUT HER.

IT'S VERY CALM AND PEACEFUL.

WE FELL IN LOVE
WITH HER RIGHT AWAY.

THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS.

- ( baby cooing )
- WHAT VOTE?

I ASSUME
SHE MEANS THE VOTE

TO ALLOW A NEW WIFE
INTO THE FAMILY.

WAS THERE A VOTE ON ME?

WE'RE NOT TALKING
ABOUT THAT NOW.

BARB, I NEED YOUR HELP.

WAIT.
THERE WAS A VOTE ON ME?

BARB, PLEASE SWITCH
WITH ME.

YES, THERE WAS A VOTE.
IT WAS A MAJOR DECISION.

- NO ONE EVER TOLD ME.
- ( sighs )

I'LL SWITCH. I'LL TRADE.

TELL HIM WE'RE SWITCHING
AND PUT IN A GOOD WORD
FOR ME.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
THERE WAS A VOTE.

WHAT, YOU THOUGHT YOU JUST
COASTED IN BY CHARMING
THE SLACKS OFF BILL?

SOME OF US HAD
DIFFERENT CRITERIA.

WE HAD TO HASH IT OVER.
THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS,
MARGIE.

BUT-- WHOA!
YOU ALREADY KNEW ME.

SO WHAT, DID YOU, LIKE,
SIT AROUND AND TRY
AND DIG UP FLAWS?

STOP.
IT'S THE WAY IT'S DONE.

SO THE WHOLE TIME
WE WERE HANGING OUT,
I WAS BEING JUDGED?

WHAT DID YOU SAY
ABOUT ME?

MARGIE, PLEASE.
I NEED TO THINK.

AND YOU'RE IN THE FAMILY,
AREN'T YOU?

SO IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN
ALL THAT BAD.

SO THERE WAS SOME BAD?
WHAT WAS IT?

MARGIE, I SAID
I CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW.

BILL'S REALLY
MAD AT YOU, HUH?

( sighs )
MARGIE, WE'RE HAVING
A LONG OVERDUE

IRONING OUT
OF A FEW LITTLE THINGS.

EVERYTHING'S
ALL FOR THE BETTER.
IT'S ALL POSITIVE.

( playing accordion )

- MARGENE!
- ( door closes )

HOW'S THE SOUND
FROM WHERE YOU ARE?

Bill: 100,000 SQUARE FEET
ON TWO LEVELS

WITH AN ADJACENT
PARKING STRUCTURE.

AND A SNACK AREA.
FULL-ON FOOD COURT,

NOT ONE OF THOSE LITTLE
HOT-DOG STANDS OUT FRONT.

SOUNDS LIKE
ONE HECK OF A STORE.

SO THE BANK WILL BUY
AND THEN WE DO A LONG-TERM
LEASEBACK.

THAT'S THE PLAN.

HAS UTAH ONE BEEN
IN SALES LEASEBACKS LONG?

OH, WE STEERED CLEAR
OF THAT BUBBLE
IN THE '90s,

BUT WE DO
A FAIR AMOUNT NOW.

WELL, WE SURE APPRECIATE
YOU COMING OUT HERE.

WITH ALL THE BANKRUPTCIES
NOWADAYS,

THESE SITE VISITS ARE
BECOMING STANDARD PROCEDURE.

YOU KNOW, WE JUST HAVE
TO SEE WHAT WE'RE GETTING
OURSELVES INTO,

YOU KNOW, SHOULD YOUR
LIGHTS EVER GO OUT.

YOU DON'T HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT THAT.

OURS ARE SHINING
PRETTY BRIGHT.

- RIGHT, BILL?
- YEAH, RIGHT.

WE'VE GOT OUR FINANCES
WELL UNDER CONTROL.

WELL, THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR.

AT THE END
OF THE DAY, STILL,

IT'S ALL ABOUT
TRUST, ISN'T IT?

SAY, I CAN RECOMMEND
A GREAT ARCHITECTURAL TEAM.

ALREADY HIRED ONE.

- A BUILDING CONTRACTOR?
- WE'RE GOOD.

AN ENVIRONMENTAL
OR A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER?

- DON?
- HUH-UH.

- WELL, HOW ABOUT
A RESTAURANT FOR LUNCH?
- YOU'RE ON.

- CONGRATULATIONS.
- THAT'S GREAT.

ALL RIGHT, YOU ARE...

( pop music playing on radio )

...AN ENTJ.

YOU ARE AN EXTROVERT
WHO RELIES ON JUDGMENT
OVER PERCEPTION,

AND IT SAYS HERE
THAT YOU WOULD BE
GOOD AT LAW,

MANAGEMENT
OR OPERATIONS RESEARCH.

HMM. I'VE BEEN THINKING

ABOUT BECOMING
A STATE REPRESENTATIVE
OR SOMETHING IN POLITICS,

'CAUSE I'M
SO TIRED OF PEOPLE HAVING
THE WRONG IDEA OF UTAH.

WE'RE A RED STATE,
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN

WE'RE NEANDERTHAL
AND NOT PROGRESSIVE.

HMM. COMING FROM THE GIRL
WHO SCORED HIGHEST

- ON THE JUDGMENTAL PART.
- ( mock laughter )

AH!

OKAY, TRUE OR FALSE?

YOU PREFER GOING OUT

WITH SMALL GROUPS
RATHER THAN LARGE ONES?

DUH. THAT'S EASY.
I CAN GUESS.

- YOU'RE AN INTROVERT.
- I'M SO NOT AN INTROVERT.

- YES, YOU ARE.
- HUH-UH.

YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE
TO SURVIVE YOUR NUTTY
LIFESTYLE.

BUT THAT'S MY PARENTS.
IT'S NOT ME.

YEAH, BUT, I MEAN,

IT HAS TO HAVE AN EFFECT
ON YOU, ON YOUR PERSONALITY.

HOW COULD IT NOT?

TRUE OR FALSE?

YOU'RE COMFORTABLE
LETTING OTHERS MAKE
DECISIONS FOR YOU.

NO, FALSE.

( knocks on door )

HI, CAN--

( whispers )
CAN I TALK TO YOU?

I WAS WONDERING
IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING

ABOUT A VOTE ABOUT ME
JOINING THE FAMILY.

UH, THAT WAS
A FEW YEARS AGO.
I DON'T REALLY REMEMBER.

YOU DON'T REMEMBER
ANYTHING?

I'M PROBABLY THE WRONG
PERSON TO ASK.

BENNY!

DO YOU REMEMBER
A FEW YEARS AGO,
A VOTE ABOUT ME?

- MMM, WHICH ONE?
- THE ONE ABOUT ME
JOINING THE FAMILY.

- WHICH ONE?
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"WHICH ONE"?

UM, I THINK
THERE WERE A FEW.

I MEAN, IT TOOK A WHILE.
IT KEPT COMING IN
AT TWO TO ONE.

BUT IT WAS JUST
SO EVERYONE COULD
GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER.

SO--

SO THEY DIDN'T LIKE ME
RIGHT AWAY?

WELL, I DID.

( door closes )

( don knocks on door )
BILL, ONE OF OUR...

SPECIAL CUSTOMERS
WANTS TO MEET YOU.

OH. HI, I'M BILL HENRICKSON.
IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU.

HELLO.

BILL, IT'S BETTY.

BETTY.
BETTY!

OH, WELL,
NICE TO MEET YOU.

REALLY REALLY
NICE TO MEET YOU.

OH, SAME HERE.
I FEEL LIKE I ALREADY
KNOW YOU

FROM EVERYTHING
DON TOLD ME

AND FROM THE TV
COMMERCIALS.

SO MUCH HAS BEEN
HAPPENING TO ME LATELY,
AND THIS IS JUST...

- TERRIBLY EXCITING.
- UH-HUH.

WELL, UM, I GUESS
I'LL SEE YOU SUNDAY.

OKAY. UM, WELL,
BYE-BYE TILL THEN.

BYE-BYE.

- Don: BYE--
- DON!

YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE IT EASY.
YOU CAN'T DO THAT HERE.

I'M SORRY,
BUT ISN'T SHE GREAT?

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D FALL
SO HARD FOR NUMBER FOUR.

WELL, HOPEFULLY,
YOU CAN RESTRAIN YOURSELF

- WHILE SHE'S
DOWNSTAIRS SHOPPING.
- OH, DON'T WORRY.

DOWN THERE, BETTY'S
JUST ANOTHER SHOPPER.

LISTEN, PEG JUST
RAN THE NUMBERS.

TAKE A LOOK
AT THE TOTAL.

BY SELLING THE FIRST
TWO STORES TO THE BANK
AND LEASING THEM BACK,

WE CAN GET A CASH INFLUX
OF ALMOST $5 MILLION NET

AND A RATE OF RETURN
OF 25 TO 30%.

FIVE MILLION.

THAT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH
TO PUMP INTO THE THIRD STORE

- AND PAY DOWN
SOME OF OUR DEBT.
- THAT'S RIGHT.

I'M TIRED
OF LIVING ON CREDIT.

SAY, DO YOUR WIVES
HAVE ANY CREDIT CARDS?

NO WAY.
THOSE THINGS ARE A TRAP.

THE INTEREST RATE'S
RIDICULOUS.

( phone rings )

- HELLO?
- Barb: Hi.
You find everything?

YEAH, I JUST FINISHED.

Well, we need
to track down a pot,
a lobster pot.

- WHAT KIND OF POT?
- Barb: Lobster.
For lobsters.

WELL, WHERE ON EARTH
AM I SUPPOSED TO FIND
ONE OF THOSE?

Wal-Mart, K-Mart.
Nicki, if you can't do it,
that's fine.

NO, I CAN DO IT.

I'M HAPPY TO.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?

No, that's it.
Thanks.

HAVE YOU SPOKEN
TO BILL YET?

Not yet.
I will, though.

- OKAY.
- ( phone beeps )

( phone line rings )

( phone ringing )

- YES.
- Nicki: Hi.

JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW
I'M MAKING PORK CHOPS
TONIGHT,

SO DON'T SNACK
ON YOUR WAY HOME.

Nicki: Bill?

WE CAN TALK
ABOUT OUR LITTLE "WHOOPS"
AFTER DINNER.

I CAN'T SEE YOU
TONIGHT, NICKI.

IN FACT,

I DON'T THINK
I CAN SEE YOU
FOR A DAY OR TWO.

- I'M SORRY.
- ( phone clicks )

( phone clicks )

BOYS, WE HAVE TO
GO OUT AGAIN.

BARB WANTS US
TO PICK SOMETHING UP FOR HER,
LIKE USUAL.

CAN WE GET SOME ICE CREAM?

NO, WE CAN'T BUY
ANYTHING FUN ANYMORE.
DAD SAID SO.

WON'T YOU TALK ABOUT IT?

WHAT'S TO TALK ABOUT?
LOOK AT THIS!

WILLIAMS-SONOMA,
MADELINE'S HOUSE OF SHOES,

THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY?

WHO PAYS FOR CANDY
WITH A CREDIT CARD?

I MEAN,
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!

WHY IN THE "H" DID SHE NEED
ALL THIS STUFF ANYWAY?

I MEAN, IS IT
A MENTAL ILLNESS
OR A DISEASE?

A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE
THIS PROBLEM, BILL.

AND A LOT OF PEOPLE
ARE DOPE FIENDS,

BUT I'M NOT MARRIED
TO THEM.

( kids laughing
and chatting )

( doorbell rings )

- CAN I HELP YOU, OFFICER?
- BILL HENRICKSON?

I'M CHUCK TUTTLE.
I'M HEATHER'S FATHER,

- HERE TO PICK HER UP.
- OH.

( sighs )
HELLO.

I'M BARBARA HENRICKSON,
SARAH'S MOTHER.

- UH, PLEASE, COME IN.
- YEAH.

OH, THANKS.
THANK YOU.

Barb:
SARAH! HEATHER!

- COME ON DOWN HERE!
- WE'VE BECOME AWFULLY
FOND OF SARAH.

SHE'S BEEN TO OUR HOUSE
A NUMBER OF TIMES NOW.

- I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD
TO MEETING YOU.
- LIKEWISE.

- ( door opens )
- SORRY YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT

TO THE FATHER-DAUGHTER
PANCAKE BREAKFAST.

YEAH.

DAD, I THOUGHT MOM
WAS PICKING ME UP.

MOM WAS BUSY
WITH THE RELIEF SOCIETY,
HONEY BUN.

WELL, NICE TO FINALLY
MEET YOU, CHUCK.

- ( no sound )
- Chuck: YOU TOO, BILL.

- Bill: GOODBYE, HEATHER.
- Heather:BYE.

SARAH, DID YOU KNOW
THAT GIRL'S FATHER WAS
A STATE TROOPER?

YES.

ARE WE GOING TO JAIL?

NO, HONEY.
EVERYTHING'S FINE.

WELL, HOW COME
I DIDN'T KNOW?
THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT

I SEEM TO BE
IN THE DARK ABOUT LATELY,
AND I DON'T LIKE IT.

DAD, IF YOU THINK
THAT HEATHER'S GONNA
SAY ANYTHING,

YOU'RE WRONG.
SHE'S MY FRIEND.

AND WHAT'S THIS
ABOUT A PANCAKE
BREAKFAST, ANYWAY?

HOW COME I HAD TO
FIND OUT ABOUT IT
FROM A STRANGER?

WELL, IT WAS LAST WEEKEND,
AND YOU WORK ON SATURDAY,

SO I FIGURED
YOU'D BE TOO BUSY.

- ( door opens )
- Nicki:HERE'S THE POT.

I HOPE IT'S THE RIGHT SIZE.
IT WEIGHS A TON.

DID YOU SEE HIM?
DID YOU TALK TO HIM?

THERE YOU ARE.

HONEY, WE DO NEED TO TALK.

BARB SWITCHED
NIGHTS WITH ME.

WELL, SWITCH IT BACK, BARB.

I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE
MAKING PLANS FOR ME
BEHIND MY BACK.

AND I DON'T LIKE SECRETS.

( kids laughing )

DID YOU SEE THAT?!

HE WOULDN'T EVEN
LOOK AT ME.

- HE HATES ME NOW.
- WELL, HE DOESN'T HATE YOU.

( whispering )
I DON'T EVEN EXIST.

- I'M GONNA SELL MY CAR.
- NO, YOU'RE NOT GONNA
SELL YOUR CAR.

- JUST PUT THE POT DOWN.
- I AM.

AND PAY DOWN MY DEBT.
IT'S MY CAR.

ACTUALLY, IT'S NOT.
YOUR CAR BELONGS TO ALL OF US.

MY NAME IS
ON THE REGISTRATION.

WHY ARE YOU
DOING THIS TO ME?

OH, YOU HAVE NO IDEA
HOW GLAD I AM

THAT YOU CALLED.
I REALLY NEEDED TO GET OUT.

HEY, HERE COMES
OUR FOURTH. HEY.

- Pam: OH, THERE HE IS.
- Carl:HEY.

- HI, CARL. HI, PAM.
- HOW ARE YOU DOING?

- HOW ARE YA?
- MARGENE, THIS IS CHAD.
HE WORKS WITH ME DOWNTOWN.

- OH.
- Chad: SORRY I'M LATE.

- IT'S NICE
TO MEET YOU, MARGENE.
- MMM. HMM.

YOU LIVE ACROSS THE STREET
FROM CARL AND PAM?

I MOVED IN
A FEW MONTHS AGO.

WELL, ISN'T THAT FORTUITOUS?

- I'VE HEARD A LOT
ABOUT YOU.
- HUH.

- HI THERE.
- Carl: HI.

WOULD YOU MIND PUTTING
THIS ON TWO CHECKS--
THE TWO OF US ON ONE

- AND THESE TWO ON ANOTHER?
- YOU GOT IT.

AND I WILL HAVE
THE RIB EYE, MEDIUM RARE.

- MY WIFE WILL BE HAVING...
- Pam: THE CHEF'S SALAD.

Waitress:
AND FOR YOU, SIR?

I'D LIKE
THE CHICKEN SPECIAL

AND THE YOUNG LADY
WOULD LIKE...

CHEESEBURGER AND
ONION RINGS, PLEASE,
AND A DIET SPRITE.

- OKAY. ANY OTHER BEVERAGES?
- COUPLE OF MILKS.

- OH, DO YOU HAVE 2%?
- YES.

- SAME, PLEASE.
- OKAY, GREAT.

YOU TWO WITH THE DINNER SPECIALS
ARE WELCOME TO GO
TO THE SALAD BAR.

ALL RIGHT.
THANKS.

EXCUSE US.

- WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- IS THIS A DATE?

CARL AND I JUST THOUGHT
IT WOULD BE NICE

- FOR YOU MEET SOMEONE
FROM OUR CHURCH.
- BUT I CAN'T.

I'M NOT AVAILABLE...

EMOTIONALLY.

OH, HONEY,
I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS
LOSING A LOVED ONE,

BUT AT SOME POINT
YOU JUST HAVE TO MOVE ON.

I'M NOT GOOD
AT MEETING PEOPLE.

I'VE BEEN TOLD I MAKE
A BAD FIRST IMPRESSION.

I LIKED YOU RIGHT AWAY,
AND I CAN TELL
CHAD DOES TOO.

STOP BEING
SO INSECURE.
TRY AND HAVE FUN.

I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS

ON HOW WE MIGHT
CONSOLIDATE THIS.

- ( clicks )
- TV reporter: ...pictures
from this afternoon.

The Truckee River
jumped its banks,
flooding downtown Reno.

This fast-moving
cold front will sweep
across eastern Nevada

- and will be
in our area...
- LET ME ASK YOU THIS--

DO YOU THINK YOU'LL
HAVE PATCHED THINGS UP
WITH NICKI BY SUNDAY?

I REALLY COULDN'T
TELL YOU, BARB.

I THINK WE SHOULD THINK
ABOUT CANCELING
THE BARBECUE.

THERE'S TOO MUCH TENSION
IN THE HOUSES, BILL.

- IT'S NOT HEALTHY.
- Bill: NO, WE'RE CELEBRATING.

- SO YOU SAID.
- I'VE ORDERED THE LOBSTER.

THEY'RE BEING
FLOWN IN FROM MAINE.

I WISH YOU COULD
SLOW THINGS DOWN A BIT,

GO SLOWER
ON THE THIRD STORE, EVEN.

OH, YOU ARE TENSE
AS I DON'T KNOW WHAT.

NOW, I WORRY SOMETIMES
ABOUT THE PRICE WE'RE ALL
PAYING FOR SUCCESS.

BARB, IF I DIDN'T
KEEP CONSTANTLY

MOVING THE BALL FORWARD,
WE WOULD SINK UNDER
OUR BILLS.

YEAH, NO THANKS
TO NICKI, RIGHT?

BUT, I MEAN,
YOU CAN'T AVOID HER
FOREVER.

- SHE'S REALLY UPSET.
- WELL, I'M UPSET TOO.

YOU LET THINGS GET TOTALLY
OUT OF CONTROL AROUND HERE.

THAT'S NOT FAIR. I MEAN,
YOU'RE BEING UNREASONABLE.

YOU HAVE TO CALM DOWN.

WHY SHOULD I CALM DOWN
WHEN I FIND OUT

ONE OF MY WIVES HAS SUNK US
60 THOU IN DEBT,

WHICH IS KEPT A SECRET
FROM ME FOR YEARS;

WHEN ANOTHER WIFE'S
KEPT A SECRET FROM ME

AND DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME
WHAT SHE KNEW?

I WAS IN A DIFFICULT
POSITION, BILL,

AND I'M EXTREMELY RELIEVED
TO BE OUT OF IT.

I DON'T LIKE LIES EITHER.

IF I DID, WE'D STILL BE
MEETING IN HOTELS.

AND I FELT THAT IT WAS
NICKI'S PLACE TO TELL YOU,
NOT MINE.

I'M YOUR HUSBAND,
AREN'T I?

YES,

BUT I'M MARRIED
TO TWO OTHER PEOPLE.

YOU SEEM TO FORGET
THAT SOMETIMES.

- ( laughing )
- Chad: I GOT ANOTHER.

A BISHOP GETS
INTO AN ELEVATOR

WITH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

THE WOMAN HITS
THE STOP BUTTON,

TURNS TO THE BISHOP
AND SAYS,

"CAN YOU MAKE ME FEEL
LIKE A TRUE WOMAN?"

- Carl: OH.
- Chad:AND THE BISHOP SAYS,
"I SURE CAN,"

TAKES OFF ALL HIS CLOTHES,
THROWS THEM IN THE CORNER

AND SAYS, "NOW FOLD THEM."

Carl:
THAT'S-- YES.

OKAY, CH

HOW MANY FEMINISTS
DOES IT TAKE

TO SCREW IN
A LIGHTBULB?

NONE.
IT'S NOT THE LIGHTBULB
THAT NEEDS CHANGING.

HO-HO.
TOUCHé, MARGENE.

( laughing )

GEE, YOU'VE GOT
A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR.

REALLY?
YOU THINK SO?

YEAH.
YOU'RE QUICK-WITTED.

AND SMART AND CLEVER.

THANKS.

( thunder booming )

Margene:
I KNOW SOMEBODY VOTED
AGAINST ME,

- AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY.
DO YOU HEAR ME?
- HUH?

I JUST-- I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG
TO MAKE A DECISION.

I LIKED YOU RIGHT AWAY.

AND I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW,

A LOT OF PEOPLE TAKE
AN INSTANT LIKING TO ME.

I'M GOOD AT TELLING JOKES.

IT TOOK ME A WHILE
TO REALIZE THIS,
BUT IT'S TRUE.

- MARGIE, IT ISN'T
ALWAYS ABOUT YOU.
- ( rain rustling )

DON'T YOU REALIZE
WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH?

I HAVE A LOT MORE
ON MY MIND THAN
HOW MANY TIMES

I WROTE YOUR NAME DOWN
ON A PIECE OF PAPER.

I AM ONE STEP AWAY
FROM BEING TOSSED OUT
ONTO SKID ROW.

BILL'S THAT MAD AT YOU?

OF COURSE NOT.

IT'S JUST
A FIGURE OF SPEECH.

YOU KNOW, NICKI,
IF I WERE IN YOUR SHOES,

I'M NOT SURE I'D THINK
I COULD AFFORD TO GO
OUT OF MY WAY

TO BE MEAN AND ALIENATE
SOMEONE RIGHT NOW.

( thunder rumbles )

HONEY,

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
I CARE FOR YOU.

I LOVE YOU, MARGIE.

DO YOU HONESTLY THINK
I COULD HAVE VOTED
AGAINST YOU?

DO YOU REALLY THINK
THAT'S POSSIBLE?

- LOOK, THERE'S
YOUR FOOD COURT...
- MM-HMM.

- ...AND A BIGGER OFFICE.
- YES, SIR. ( chuckles )

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO
WHEN BETTY MOVES IN?

VERNIE AND JOJO
ARE GONNA SHARE A ROOM
TILL WE CAN ADD ON.

GOOD. DON'T SPREAD 'EM OUT
INTO SEPARATE HOUSES.

ALL RIGHT, BILL,

WHAT'S GOING ON?

IT'S NICKI.

I FOUND OUT SHE HAS
A SHOPPING ADDICTION.

SHE'S BEEN HIDING IT.

I FEEL LIKE A STRANGER
IN MY OWN HOMES.

SORRY, BILL.
YOU KNOW, THE BEST
THING YOU CAN DO IS

GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST
WITH HER AND MOVE ON.

THE THING IS, I'M HAVING
A HARD TIME FORGIVING HER.

I JUST FEEL IT'S--
IT'S NOT IN ME.

MY EMOTIONS ARE
OUT OF CONTROL.

( thunder rumbling )

LISTEN TO THAT.
IT'S REALLY COMING DOWN.

YEAH, I WATCHED IT
ON THE WEATHER CHANNEL

LAST NIGHT.
IT WAS OVER NEVADA.

- ( thunderclap blasts )
-( electricity buzzing )

WHOA. THAT WAS
RIGHT ON TOP OF US.

( cooing )

( rain rustling )

( knocks on door )

( thunder rumbles )

I WAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
AND I THOUGHT I'D STOP BY.

THESE ARE FOR YOU.

COULD I COME IN
FOR A MINUTE?

MMM.

I KNEW YOU HAD KIDS.

I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE
YOU HAD SO MANY.

IT'S A HANDFUL SOMETIMES.

I LOVE KIDS.

AND I'M PRETTY GOOD
WITH THEM, TOO.

I HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME
AT DINNER.

YOU ARE SO FUN
TO BE AROUND.

REALLY?
THAT'S NICE TO HEAR.

Chad:
I COULDN'T SLEEP AT ALL
LAST NIGHT.

I WAS THINKING
ABOUT MEETING YOU.

I KNOW THIS SOUNDS CRAZY,

BUT I FELT
THIS KIND OF A--

I DON'T KNOW,
LIKE A BURNING IN MY BOSOM.

ALL NIGHT MY MIND
WAS RACING.

I BELIEVE I MIGHT
HAVE HAD A REVELATION--

YOU'RE THE ONE FOR ME.

( cooing )

I DON'T KNOW...
WHAT TO SAY.

( thunder rumbling )

I'M GOING TO KISS YOU NOW.

CHAD, UH...

I NEED TO TELL YOU

I HAVE MY EYE
ON SOMEONE ELSE.

HMM.

FORGIVE ME
FOR SAYING THIS...

BUT PERHAPS YOU'RE LOOKING
IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
IT JUST COLLAPSED.

I'LL GO CALL
THE INSURANCE COMPANY

AND I SHOULD GET SOME CONES
TO BLOCK OF THE AREA

THE LAST THING
WE NEED IS A LAWSUIT.

( quiet music playing
on P.A. )

Roman:
YOU SEEM TO HAVE SUFFERED
SOME MISFORTUNE.

"WE CANNOT COMPREHEND
THE GREATNESS OF HIS POWER

FOR HE DIRECTS
THE SHOWERS AND STORMS
THAT FALL UPON THE EARTH."

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE, ROMAN?

YOU AND I ARE FINISHED.

WE'RE SHOPPING.

OH, YES.
YES, YOU'RE RIGHT.

Bill:
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT

TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE.

BUT I'M NOT ANYONE, BILL.

I'M THE FATHER
OF ONE OF YOUR WIVES.

HOW MUCH LONGER
ARE YOU GOING TO BE HERE?

IT'S TOO BAD
YOU FEEL SO UNCOMFORTABLE

AROUND YOUR FAMILY.

I HOPE YOU GET THIS
FIXED SOON.

IT'S BAD LUCK TO OPEN
THAT INDOORS.

BEFORE I FORGET,

LET ME RETURN SOME PAPERS
THAT ALBY BORROWED.

INTERESTING REING.

I MUST COMMEND
YOU ON YOUR WORK
AT BEEHIVE VILLAGE.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PRESERVING
OUR GREAT HISTORICAL SITES

CANNOT BE OVERSTATED.

WHAT IN GOD'S NAME
WAS HE DOING HERE?

I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT HE'S UP TO,
BUT...

I DON'T LIKE IT.

( shovel thumping )

BILL, COME ON, YOU CAN'T
IGNORE ME FOREVER.

THIS IS ABOUT A LOT MORE
THAN MONEY, NICKI.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOUR DEBT,

'CAUSE THAT'S
THE HONORABLE THING TO DO.

AFTER THAT...

I DON'T KNOW.

- BARB, BARB, WAKE UP.
- HUH?

HE'S GONNA THROW ME OUT.
I'M SERIOUS.
I DIDN'T THINK

IT WOULD HAPPEN,
NOT REALLY REALLY HAPPEN,
BUT HE IS.

- NICKI.
- I'M HISTORY.
I'M GONE.

OH...

- BARB--
- NO.

BILL IS NOT GOING
TO THROW YOU OUT.

THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY.
YOU'RE FIRST WIFE.
YOU'RE PROTECTED.

I'VE SEEN IT
HUNDREDS OF TIMES--

JUST DRIVE
AN UNWANTED WIFE
OUT TO THE EDGE OF TOWN

AND LEAVE HER
BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD

LIKE A SACKFUL
OF UNWANTED KITTENS
AND DRIVE OFF

- WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A GLANCE
IN THE REAR-VIEW.
- NICKI,

THAT IS THE MOST VILE,
PREPOSTEROUS STORY
I'VE EVER HEARD OF.

IT'S TRUE.
MY FATHER LEFT A WIFE

AT A CONOCO STATION
IN ELKO, NEVADA.

WELL, YOU NEED TO HAVE
MORE FAITH IN BILL.

AND IF HE WERE
TO DO THAT,

I-- I'D LEAVE HIM.

( whispers )
BARB.

CAN I STAY OVER
WITH YOU TONIGHT?

OF COURSE YOU CAN.

BOYS...

WE'RE STAYING THE NIGHT
AT BARBARA'S.

GOODNIGHT, BARB.

Margene:
WELL, I FIGURE IT WAS
THE SAME PERSON

WHO KEPT VOTING
AGAINST ME EVERY TIME.
AM I RIGHT?

AM I RIGHT
OR AM I WRONG?

OH, MARGENE,
WHAT IS IMPORTANT

IS THAT WE ALL AGREED.

WE WANTED YOU
IN THIS FAMILY.

I KNEW YOU'D PLAY DUMB.

- Barb: HOW MANY OF THOSE
DID YOU GET?
- TWO DOZEN.

WELL, THAT'S ENOUGH
FOR AN ARMY.

IT'S JUST DON AND
HIS WIVES AND BETTY.

- ARGH!
- EW.

( men chuckle )

BILL...

I KNOW
YOU DON'T LIKE SECRETS

AND I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE
THINGS HIDDEN FROM YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING
TO SAY, NICKI?

I'M GOING
TO PUT EVERYTHING OUT
ON THE TABLE, BILL.

I MEAN, BELIEVE ME,
IF I'VE LEARNED ANYTHING
FROM THIS,

IT'S THAT HONESTY
IS THE BEST POLICY.

MY FATHER HELPED ME
ON THE CARDS.

HE'S MADE PAYMENTS
FROM TIME TO TIME

AND LAST MONTH
HE GAVE ME 3000.

Bill:
GOD ALMIGHTY!

( Bill ranting )

WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU
KEPT HIDDEN?

DECEITFUL,
COMPLETELY UNDERHANDED.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!

UNBELIEVABLE!

WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, WHERE'D SHE GO?

- SHE LEFT.
- WHEN'S SHE COMING BACK?

- I DON'T KNOW.
- ( doorbell rings )

( Bill sighs )

OH, YOU'RE EARLY.

WELL, COME ON IN.

Don:
I WON'T BE STAYING.

I JUST CAME
TO DROP THIS OFF.

BETTY MADE IT.

HEY, WE JUST GOT
THE FIRE GOING.

WELL, DON SAYS
HE'S NOT STAYING.

NOT STAYING?
WHY NOT? WHAT'S WRONG?

BETTY'S BEEN BLACKBALLED.

OH NO.

OH BOY.

COME ON IN.
COME ON, SIT DOWN.

COME ON, DON.
HAVE A SEAT OVER THERE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

PEG WAS HELPING BETTY
PACK SOME OF HER BELONGINGS

TO PUT INTO STORAGE
AND SHE CAME ACROSS A COPY

OF THIS THING CALLED
"THE DIVINE PRINCIPLE."

WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S THE SACRED TEXT
FOR THE UNIFICATION CHURCH.

APPARENTLY, SHE SPENT
SOME TIME WITH THEM
BEFORE JOINING OUR GROUP.

- SHE WAS A MOONIE.
- OH, DON, OH.

AND BEFORE THAT, SHE WAS
A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY.

- WHAT FAMILY?
- IT'S A CULT, MARGENE.

THERE MAY HAVE BEEN
OTHERS, TOO.

EVER HEAR OF BHAGWAN?

I REMEMBER
SHE ONCE TALKED
ABOUT BEING IN TUNE

WITH THE MOTHER PRINCIPLE.

I JUST THOUGHT
SHE WANTED KIDS.

BEN, WHY DON'T YOU
GET DON A BOX OF KLEENEX?

THE WIVES DEMANDED
A REVOTE.

THEY DON'T BELIEVE
SHE CAN COMMIT.

THEY JUST THINK
SHE'S A LOST SOUL.

OH, THIS MUST BE
SO HARD.

YEAH.

I HAD TO BREAK IT
TO HER THIS MORNING.

WE'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND
FOR THE LAST COUPLE HOURS.

SHE'S OUT IN THE CAR
RIGHT NOW WAITING FOR ME.

I THOUGHT
THIS WAS A SLAM DUNK.

I'M SORRY, EVERYONE.
THE BARBECUE'S OFF.

HI. I'M MARGENE.

I HEARD ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED.

I'M SORRY.

I'M SURE I'VE RUINED
EVERYONE'S DAY.

NO, YOU DIDN'T.

THE DAY WAS NOT GOING
VERY WELL ANYWAY.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD
TO MEETING YOU, BETTY.

I'VE HEARD A LOT
OF GREAT THINGS,

AND I WASN'T SURE
WE'D HAVE ANYTHING
IN COMMON,

BUT I KNOW HOW IT FEELS
TO BE VOTED OUT.

IT ALMOST HAPPENED
TO ME, TOO.

I KNOW.

DON AND PEG,

VERNIE AND JOJO TOLD ME.

IT'S OKAY.

I'LL BE FINE.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU
JUST STAY AND HOLD IT OUT?

SOMETIMES
YOU HAVE TO LET

ONE TRAIN
LEAVE THE STATION

- FOR A NEW ONE TO COME IN.
- NO, STAY.

STAY AND PROVE THEM WRONG.

HOW COULD YOU LET THEM
VOTE YOU OUT LIKE THAT?

WHY SHOULD WE HOLD ON
TO NEGATIVE THOUGHTS?

IT'S BETTER
TO LET THEM GO.

I WANTED TO CELEBRATE.

$2000 IN LOBSTERS
DOWN THE DRAIN,

HALF NOT EVEN COOKED.

BILL, THERE ARE
OTHER TRAGEDIES AT PLAY,

OTHER THAN THE PRICE
OF LOBSTER--

DON'S HEARTBROKEN
FOR HIS DOE-EYED MOONIE;

AND THERE ARE
GREATER TRAGEDIES

THAN A CREDIT CARD DEBT
OF $60,000, TOO.

POOR NICKI.

WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE'S SEEN
GROWING UP IN THAT WORLD--

WOMEN AND KITTENS
THROWN OUT

LIKE SACKS
OF OLD POTATOES?

JUST...
( sighs )

YOU THINK ABOUT THAT.

( children playing )

ARE YOU LOOKING
FOR SOMETHING TO EAT?

NO. I WANTED TO TALK.

I WAS THINKING
ABOUT BETTY,

AND IT'S TOO BAD THAT
SHE COULDN'T TELL PEOPLE

WHO SHE REALLY WAS.

I LIED TO YOU BEFORE.

ABOUT WHAT?

THE PANCAKE BREAKFAST.

I DIDN'T TELL YOU
ABOUT IT BECAUSE
I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO GO.

YOU WOULD HAVE
INTRODUCED YOURSELF
TO ALL THE OTHER DADS

AS BILL HENRICKSON,
FATHER OF THREE,

WITH ONE WIFE,
WITH ONE HOUSE.

IT HURTS TO SEE YOU
LIE, DAD.

I HATE THAT
ABOUT THIS LIFE--

WATCHING YOU
AND MOM HIDE,

ALL OF US
HAVING TO HIDE.

DAD, WHEN'S MOM
COMING HOME?

MA'AM, IT'S SUNDAY.

WE CLOSED AT 6:00.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO LEAVE.

( screeches )

GO ON, SCAT!

UGH.

( sniffs, groans )

( sighs )

( snoring )

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
HERE SO EARLY?

I--- I'VE BEEN HERE
ALL NIGHT. I...

HAD TO GET OUT
OF THE HOUSE.

WHY? WHAT HAPPENED?

( suitcase clanks )

I GOT IT,
I GOT IT, I GOT IT.

THE-- THE WIVES
GANGED UP ON ME.

THEY'RE BLAMING ME
FOR NOT DOING ENOUGH
RESEARCH ON BETTY.

THEY GOT REALLY
ATTACHED TO HER

AND THEY THINK
IT'S MY FAULT.

BUT WHAT COULD
I HAVE DONE, BILL?

I'VE BEEN THINKING
ALL NIGHT, TOO.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE CONSTANTLY
BEING TESTED.

SOMETIMES WE JUST HAVE
TO BEND TO GOD'S WILL.

I GUESS, BETTY JUST...

WASN'T PART
OF HIS PLAN FOR YOU.

FOUR INCHES OF RAIN
IN UNDER AN HOUR.

WOW, WAS IT
THAT MUCH?

YOUR POLICY HAS
A FORCE MAJEURE CLAUSE.

THE DAMAGE
SHOULD BE COVERED.

A FLASH FLOOD IS
CONSIDERED AN ACT OF GOD.

P.A. announcer:
Mr. Henrickson,
urgent call on line two.

Mr. Henrickson,
urgent call on line two.

HEY.

THANKS FOR WHAT YOU SAID
TO ME EARLIER.

SOMETIMES I FORGET

THAT I'M NOT THE ONE
IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT.

YOU OKAY, BILL?

THE LAND FOR THE THIRD
STORE IS GONE.

SUDDENLY IT'S
A HISTORICAL SITE.

IT-- IT'S
A COMMERCIAL ZONE.

ALLEGEDLY, SOME SHOSHONES
ONCE HAD A WINTER CAMP THERE.

AN INJUNCTION'S
BEEN FILED.

IT'S GONNA BE TIED UP
IN RED TAPE FOR MONTHS,
PROBABLY YEARS.

THAT LAND WAS OURS.

IT WAS RIGHT THERE,
RIGHT IN OUR HANDS.

THE SURVEYORS ARE
GOING OUT THERE TOMORROW
TO DO SOME MORE SPECS.

I MEAN, I CAN'T BELIEVE
OUR MISERABLE BAD LUCK.

IT'S NOT BAD LUCK.
IT'S ROMAN.

I GAVE HIM
WHAT HE WANTED-- MONEY.

AND IN RETURN,
HE WAS SUPPOSED

TO GIVE ME WHAT I WANTED--
MY FREEDOM.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO
TO GET THAT MAN
OUT OF MY LIFE?

I NEED THAT STORE.

( phone rings )

- YEAH?
- Barb: It's about Nicki.

She didn't come home
last night.

She just called.
She said goodbye.

Hello?

NICK.

IT'S A JOB APPLICATION.

I GOT STUCK.

IT ASKS FOR MARITAL STATUS,

WHO TO CONTACT
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

THE SHELTER KICKS YOU OUT
AT 7:00 A.M.

SHELTER?

WHAT WERE YOU DOING
AT A SHELTER?

HOW COULD I GO
TO THE COMPOUND...

CARRYING THE SHAME
OF A DISCARDED WOMAN,

A THROWAWAY?

NICKI...

HONEY...

YOU MADE ME FEEL
THAT I HAD FAILED,

THAT I WASN'T IN CONTROL.
I COULDN'T FORGIVE YOU
FOR THAT.

BUT I'M NOT
IN CONTROL OF YOU

AND I LOVE YOU ANYWAYS.

WE MADE A COVENANT
WITH EACH OTHER.

WE CAN DISAGREE,
WE CAN ARGUE--

WE'RE HUMAN,

BUT BENEATH THAT
THERE'S SOMETHING STRONG--
FAMILY.

NOTHING, NOTHING
BREAKS THAT BOND.

THIS ISN'T THE COMPOUND,
AND I'M NOT MY FATHER.

DON'T KICK OUT
FAMILY MEMBERS.

YOUR FATHER DIDN'T
KICK YOU OFF THE COMPOUND.

MINE DID.

NO, HE DIDN'T.

HE WAS AFRAID OF YOU.

I WAS 14 YEARS OLD.

BUT YOUR GRANDFATHER
WAS THE PROPHET.

MY DAD THOUGHT
THAT YOU WERE TOO MUCH
LIKE HIM--

WHATEVER COMES YOUR WAY,
YOU CAN HANDLE.

YOU DON'T GIVE UP.

MY FATHER CALLS IT PRIDE.

HI.

( sighs )

I'M GLAD YOU'RE BACK.

IT'S NICE TO BE BACK.

I MISSED YOU.

I WAS SCARED.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY.
I WAS FINE.

AND I NEED TO KNOW
MY VOTE.

I NEED TO KNOW MY VOTE.

I NEED YOU
TO TELL ME, PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT, MARGENE.

IT WAS ME, OKAY?

I WAS THE HOLDOUT.

( whispers )
OH.

I THOUGHT
YOU WERE TOO NEEDY.

NEEDY?

HOW AM I NEEDY?

YOU NEED A LOT
OF REASSURANCE

AND YOU WANT TO BE
THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.

I WAS WORRIED
IT WOULD ALWAYS BE
THE MARGENE SHOW.

THIS IS A HARD LIFE.

I JUST THOUGHT
YOU MIGHT NOT BE READY.

THANK YOU.
