- ( applause ) - YAY!

- WHOO! - AND NOW, NEXT UP--

NO, BILL, THERE ISN'T ENOUGH TIME BEFORE DINNER,

AND THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE A TRICK.

- YES, I DO! I DO! - Bill: OF COURSE THEY DO.

COME ON, WHO WANTS TO SEE A CARD TRICK?

- OH, ALL RIGHT. - COME ON, MOM!

BUT I NEED SOMEONE TO PICK A CARD.

ME! ME! I WOULD.

Nicki: PICK A GOOD ONE.

DON'T LET ME SEE IT! OH!

( whispers ) HOLD IT TIGHT. NOW PUT IT BACK IN THE DECK.

WELL, WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF RESTFUL DAYS HERE.

I THINK THE CHILDREN FEEL MORE PROTECTED NOW.

WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE WORST AND SURVIVED OUR FIRST WEEK.

- HOW'S TEENIE DOING? - SARAH SAID SHE'S SETTLING IN.

SHE REGISTERS FOR SCHOOL TOMORROW.

I THINK YOU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE, BARB.

DON'T LET IT GET YOU DOWN.

I'M NOT DOWN. I THINK SO TOO.

SARAH'S IS THE PERFECT SAFE HAVEN.

NOW IT'S TIME TO GO BACK AND PICK UP OUR LIVES.

WE HAVE EACH OTHER.

WE'RE GOING TO BE FINE.

OKAY, I HAVE TO GO TO SLEEP NOW.

( tent unzips )

( Margene crying )

PSST! PEE FURTHER AWAY.

( crying continues )

( tent unzips )

MARGIE. HONEY, DON'T START THIS AGAIN.

COME ON.

GIVE IT TO ME.

BILL SAID WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT THIS STUFF ANYMORE.

THEY CALLED ME "THE LYING JEWELRY HAWKER."

HAWKER?

OH, MARGENE.

WE NEED TO GET AN EARLY START IN THE MORNING.

THEY SAID THERE MIGHT BE FLURRIES IN THE PASSES.

AN AVALANCHE-- WOULDN'T THAT JUST TAKE THE CAKE?

THE WORD WAS "FLURRIES," BARB.

( crying continues )

( sighs )

NO, LET NICKI GIVE IT HER BEST SHOT.

WE NEED TO GIVE HER A LITTLE EXTRA LOVE AND CARE.

I JUST DIDN'T THINK SHE'D HAVE SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH THE PUBLICITY.

I MEAN OF ALL PEOPLE...

( tent unzips )

I GIVE UP. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING

AND MY NATURAL SYMPATHY IS WEARING THIN.

WHO'S NEXT?

( groans )

SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS GETTING INTO.

BY THE END SHE WAS BEHIND IT,

UNLIKE SOME OF US.

OH, THANKS FOR THAT, NICKI.

IT'S OKAY. I TOLD YOU-- THE CIRCUS HAS MOVED ON.

THE NEWS CYCLE IS OVER.

LET'S GO. COME ON. LIKE LEHI AND NEPHI,

GOD HAS LED US TO THE PROMISED LAND.

IT WON'T BE EASY, BUT IF WE HOLD ONTO OUR FAITH,

WE WILL PROSPER.

REMEMBER, COMPORT OURSELVES WITH DECORUM

AND HOLD OURSELVES ABOVE REPROACH.

- I LIKE THAT DRESS. - I'M FINDING MY LOOK.

YEAH, YOU DO LOOK NICE.

IT WAS A COMPLIMENT, NICKI.

HOW WAS THE DRIVE BACK? ARE THEY STILL FIGHTING?

THEY'RE HAVING A ROUGH TIME.

YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE NICE IF I THOUGHT THAT BOTHERED YOU, NICKI.

( car door closes )

MARGIE HONEY, HOW ARE YOU? WE'VE BEEN SO WORRIED.

YOU DISAPPEARED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

OH, YOU KNOW, WE HAD TO GET AWAY,

BUT I THINK I'M BETTER NOW. THANK YOU, PAM.

WE'RE STILL FINDING WRAPPERS AND CUPS IN OUR YARD.

CARL, I'M SORRY ABOUT THE MESS.

WE HAD TO GET THE KIDS AWAY, YOU KNOW?

WELL, I GUESS YOU HAD TO DO WHAT YOU HAD TO DO.

THE CROWDS COMPLETELY TRAMPLED OUR LAWN.

GEE, I'M-- I'M SORRY.

IT'S NO PROBLEM. IT JUST WOULD'VE BEEN NICE

TO HAVE GOTTEN A HEADS UP ABOUT WHAT WAS COMING.

I'LL MAKE SURE WE RE-SOD YOU IN THE SPRING.

( engine starts )

HOW BAD WAS IT OVER THE WEEKEND?

EIGHT MORE UP AND QUIT,

MOSTLY THE YOUNGER CAMPAIGN VOLUNTEERS.

THEY TOOK IT THE HARDEST.

I THINK THE OLD-TIMERS JUST KNEW

BUT NEVER REALLY KNEW. DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

I'M REHIRING AS FAST AS I CAN, BUT IT'S PRETTY TENSE.

HAVE YOU HAD ANY PROBLEMS PERSONALLY?

THEY DON'T LIKE ME, BUT AT LEAST THEY'LL TALK TO ME.

THEIR ANGER IS RESERVED FOR YOU, BILL, FOR LYING TO THEM.

MAYBE IT WOULDN'T BE THE WORST THING

IF YOU TOOK A BREAK FROM THE STORE FOR A FEW MORE DAYS.

NO, NOW THAT MY FAMILY'S SQUARED AWAY, I'VE GOT TO GET IN FRONT OF THIS THING.

THEY THINK YOU'RE GONNA TURN THE STORES INTO HOTBEDS OF POLYGAMY.

SUSAN IN AD SALES-- HER MOTHER MADE HER QUIT.

SHE WAS WORRIED WE'D RECRUIT HER.

- CAN PEG STEP IN? - SHE'S NOT COMING BACK.

SHE'S STILL MAD AT YOU FOR THE CAMPAIGN TOO.

SHE THINKS YOU MADE ME TAKE THE FALL.

WELL, SAY HELLO TO HER FOR ME.

DAD-- HI, MR. HENRICKSON.

- HI, GARY. - THE TRUCKS FROM EL PASO ARE IN.

- SHOULD ME AND CHARLIE START UNLOADING 'EM? - Don: THAT'D BE GREAT, SON.

( door opens )

AND I KNOW THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM ME IS ANOTHER SPEECH,

SO YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET ONE.

I KNOW IT'S BEEN ESPECIALLY HARD FOR YOU VOLUNTEERS

WHO WORKED TIRELESSLY ON MY CAMPAIGN,

AND I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU COULD HAVE HURT FEELINGS ABOUT THE WAY I WENT ABOUT THINGS.

PAY US OUR WAGES AND BENEFITS AND WE'RE FINE.

I'D LIKE YOU TO BE MORE THAN JUST FINE, CHARLIE.

I WANT YOU ALL TO STAY ON.

WE'RE STILL THE SAME STORE WE WERE TWO WEEKS AGO.

SMILEY, YOU, DON AND ME-- WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR 15 YEARS.

I PUT MY NAME ON THE LINE FOR YOU, MR. HENRICKSON.

I MADE PHONE CALLS TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO HELP YOU WIN.

SMILEY, I'VE BEEN LIVING WITH MY FEET IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT WORLDS,

BUT NOW I'M TRYING TO BRIDGE THOSE WORLDS

AND BRING US ALL CLOSER TOGETHER.

WE ARE FAMILY HERE AND WE VALUE THAT.

- WE NEED YOU. - I'M STAYING 'CAUSE THERE'S 10% UNEMPLOYMENT

AND MY WIFE'S PREGNANT.

I USED TO LOVE THIS PLACE,

BUT "FAMILY"? I DON'T-- I DON'T THINK SO.

( wind blowing )

( engine starts )

100 YEARS WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO ERASE OUR HISTORY.

NOW WE'RE MAKING HISTORY INSTEAD.

COME ON.

WHERE SHOULD I PUT MY PLANT?

- Barb: IT'S A LITTLE DARK. - Margene: IT'S OKAY.

I THINK IT FITS WELL HERE.

I HOPE IT DOESN'T DIE.

WELL, WHAT'S THIS?

A BOX OF RUSSELL STOVER'S

IN CELEBRATION OF THIS NEW CHAPTER IN OUR LIVES

AND IN OUR MARRIAGE.

NOW WE'VE ALL SAID THINGS AND DONE THINGS WE REGRET,

BUT NOW WE'RE MOVING ON. HAVE A CHEW.

( man shouts ) USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT WITH THIS!

- USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT! - Man £2: YES SIR.

( whispers ) I THOUGHT NO ONE WAS HERE UNTIL THE JANUARY SESSION.

- ( door opens ) - WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

IT'S SENATOR THORNE. LET ME INTRODUCE YOU.

SHELDON, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE MY WIVES TO YOU.

BARB, MARGENE, NICKI,

THIS IS SENATE MAJORITY LEADER SHELDON THORNE.

- HELLO. - I GAVE HIM MY VOTE FOR MAJORITY LEADER

IN THE CAUCUS LAST THURSDAY. HE WATCHES MY BACK.

SHELDON, PETE DOOLEY FROM "THE TRIBUNE"

- IS ON THE LINE. - NO, I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO ANYONE.

- WHAT IS IT? - I'M STEPPING DOWN.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN? - I WAS PULLED OVER LAST NIGHT

AND REFUSED TO TAKE A BREATHALYZER.

THEY GOT A WARRANT TO DRAW BLOOD

AND ARRESTED ME ON A D.U.I.

IT'S GONNA BE SPLASHED ACROSS THE EVENING NEWS.

IT'S OVER. IT'S ALL OVER FOR ME.

DON'T QUIT. WHAT ABOUT OUR DEAL?

YEAH. GOOD LUCK ON THAT.

YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.

BOY, ARE YOU.

- ( boy shouting ) - Boy: LOSER!

- Boy £2: PUNCH HIM! - Boy £3: FREAK.

Boy: YOUR FAMILY'S WEIRD.

THAT'S WHERE PLYGLETS SHOULD BE-- FACE IN THE MUD.

- MELON FARMER! - GET HIM!

Boy £2: HOLD HIM!

- PULL HIS SHIRT UP. - Boy £2: PUSH HIM!

Boy: YEAH, PUSH HIM DOWN!

( door opens )

PAPA'S BACK FROM THE DESERT.

( truck approaching )

( engine stops )

WELCOME BACK, FATHER.

BUT I HAVE $20,000 IN A SEVERANCE PACKAGE COMING TO ME.

- IT SAYS SO IN MY CONTRACT. - SWEETIE, THERE IS NO SEVERANCE.

YOUR CONTRACT IS NULL AND VOID.

IT HAS A MORALS CLAUSE. IF POLYGAMY ISN'T MORAL TURPITUDE,

IT'S CERTAINLY AN ACT OF PUBLIC DISREPUTE.

PLEASE. BEVERLY, PLEASE. PLEASE.

THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS YOU LIED,

NOT ONCE BUT THREE TIMES, MARGENE.

YOUR BRAND IS TRASHED AND SO ARE YOU.

- YOU HAVE NO CREDIBILITY. - NO, MAYBE MY-- MY FANS

- WILL IDENTIFY WITH MY STORY. - ( chuckles ) IDENTIFY?

WITH WHAT? YOU'RE A POLYGAMIST.

I HAD TO HIDE WHO I REALLY WAS. DON'T YOU SEE?

MAYBE A FEW DIEHARDS WILL RALLY ROUND THE FLAG

WITH ANOTHER GOOD SOB STORY FROM YOU,

BUT WE HAVE A NETWORK TO RUN.

WE HAVE A REPUTATION TO UPHOLD.

I COULD APOLOGIZE ON THE AIR.

I COULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAKING A MISTAKE.

YOU'RE A SWEET GIRL, MARGENE,

BUT THERE'S NO CORE CONVICTION.

I KNOW YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT ME. YOU WERE RIGHT TO BET ON ME

AND I CAN PROVE THAT TO YOU. I CAN MAKE THAT UP TO YOU.

I CAN PROVE IT TO MY FANS. I CAN WIN BACK THEIR RESPECT.

YOU JUST HAVE TO GIVE ME THE CHANCE.

JUST-- BEVERLY, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

GIVE ME THE CHANCE.

SWEETIE, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TELL YOU THIS

BUT, BY MY LIGHTS, YOU REALLY ARE A LIAR.

I MISJUDGED YOU AND HEARTS ON A SLEEVE IS DEAD.

NOW CLOSE OUT YOUR ACCOUNTS AND YOUR INVENTORY LOGS

AND WE'LL CUT YOU YOUR FINAL CHECK.

( crying )

Man: YOU LOOK ABOUT AS SAD AS SAD CAN BE.

OH, I'M JUST NOT HAVING A VERY GOOD DAY.

WELL, DON'T YOU KNOW? THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS BAD DAYS.

JUST DAYS THAT WE HAVEN'T SEIZED OUR OPPORTUNITIES.

( knocks )

HELLO. BLAKE, RIGHT?

SENATOR BARN.

MOVING INTO THE SPEAKER'S OFFICE?

WELL WELL WELL, SENATOR-ELECT HENRICKSON.

SUPERSTAR.

JUST THOUGHT I'D STOP BY AND SAY HELLO,

SEE IF I COULD GET MY PHONE CONNECTED.

USUALLY THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN TILL AFTER CHRISTMAS.

I WAS JUST ON MY WAY OUT THE DOOR.

WELL, THEN CAN YOU TELL ME IF THERE'S A STOCKROOM

WHERE MAYBE I COULD NAB SOME OFFICE SUPPLIES?

A STAPLER, SOME PAPERCLIPS.

( chuckles ) YOU'LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME FOR ALL THAT.

THERE'S AN ORIENTATION FOR FRESHMEN

CLOSER TO SESSION AND TO THE SWEARING IN IN JANUARY.

SORRY, I'VE GOT A MEETING AT THE ALTA CLUB.

I KNOW I VOTED FOR SHELDON OVER YOU FOR SPEAKER,

I HOPE YOU DON'T HOLD THAT AGAINST ME.

I WANT TO OFFER YOU MY SUPPORT.

IS THIS YOU TRYING TO MAKE A DEAL WITH ME NOW?

I'D CERTAINLY LIKE TO COME TO AN UNDERSTANDING.

SHELDON'S FATHER WAS KILLED BY A DRUNK DRIVER,

YET SATAN GOT AHOLD OF SHELDON

AND NOW HE HAS SUCCUMBED TO ALCOHOL ADDICTION.

WE ARE WITNESSING THE TRAGEDY

OF A GOOD MAN'S FALL FROM GRACE.

IT'S REALLY NOT A DAY FOR PERSONAL AGENDAS.

SHELDON'S TRAGEDY IS THAT HE LOST TOUCH

WITH HIS CORE PRINCIPLES.

I'M HERE TO FIGHT FOR MINE.

DO YOU KNOW WHY SHELDON REALLY CHOSE TO RESIGN?

BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE A DISTRACTION.

BECAUSE HE EMBARRASSED HIS CONSTITUENTS.

HE BETRAYED THEIR TRUST.

HERE'S MY DEAL WITH YOU:

THERE IS NO DEAL.

- ( groaning ) - Barb: WHO COULD DO SUCH A THING TO A LITTLE BOY?

ANOTHER LITTLE BOY, BARB.

AND I'M SUPPOSED TO BE TOLERANT ABOUT THIS?

- I DON'T THINK SO. - OW, MOM. YOU'RE HURTING ME.

YEAH, NICKI, CALM DOWN. YOU'LL TAKE HIS SKIN RIGHT OFF.

I KNOW IT HURTS, BUT I'M MAKING PROGRESS, HONEY.

- IS THAT TURPENTINE? - IT'S DILUTED.

I NEVER SHOULD'VE PUT HIM BACK IN PUBLIC SCHOOL.

I DON'T WANT TO SAY THIS. I AM DEVASTATED,

BUT I TOLD YOU THIS WHOLE THING WAS GOING TO BE A DISASTER.

- WELL, I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU CARE. I DIDN'T KNOW. - ( door opens )

EVERYONE IS CALLING ME A LIAR.

- I CAN'T TAKE IT. - WHO?

BEVERLY. SHE FIRED ME.

I WENT TO BEG AND THEY WON'T GIVE ME MY SEVERANCE PAY

- BECAUSE I'M IMMORAL. - Nicki: WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN?

BILL WARNED US. WE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE THIS BAD.

I GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT.

- WAYNE. - THEY DID THIS TO HIM AT SCHOOL.

OH NO. HONEY.

- WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? - Barb: NICKI'S GONNA MARCH RIGHT DOWN

TO THAT PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE AND PUT A STOP TO IT.

I AM? AREN'T WE ALL GONNA GO ALONG?

OH. ARE-- ARE YOU ASKING ME FOR HELP?

I JUST THOUGHT NOW THAT WE'RE IN PUBLIC TOGETHER,

WE SHOULD BE PUBLIC MOTHERS TOGETHER.

WE COULDN'T DO THAT BEFORE, BUT NOW WE CAN

AND THAT'S SO WONDERFUL.

YES, IT IS.

BUT NOW THAT THE SECRET IS OUT,

YOU'RE FINALLY FREE TO BE BILL'S WIFE IN PUBLIC TOO,

AND WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS TO YOU.

WE-- WE NEED TO SUPPORT YOU IN THAT.

UN-- UNLESS...

YOU NEED ME TO COME.

I'M SURE I'LL BE FINE.

( kids chattering )

MAMA, THERE, IN THE MIDDLE.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE HUMILIATED BY SOMEONE BIGGER THAN YOU?

YOU'RE A FREAK.

OH, YOU LIKE CALLING PEOPLE NAMES, DO YOU?

HOW'D YOU LIKE IT IF I CALLED YOU NAMES JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE DIFFERENT?

RED HAIR LIKE YOURS IS GROSS.

YOUR HEAD IS LIKE A BIG RUSTY KNOB.

HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL, TOMATO-HEAD? STUPID KETCHUP HEAD.

YOU'RE GONNA GET IN BIG TROUBLE FOR THIS.

YOU TELL A SOUL ABOUT ME, I'M GONNA TRACK YOU DOWN

AND I'M GONNA WRITE ALL THE SECRET HORRIBLE THINGS

YOU KNOW YOU ARE ALL OVER YOUR BOTTOM.

AND EVERYONE WILL SEE THE SHAMEFUL, DISGUSTING THINGS

THAT YOU'RE HIDING FROM PEOPLE. HOW ABOUT THAT?

- AH! - ( gasps )

YOU'VE BEEN PUNISHED FOR YOUR HEINOUS CRIMES AND NOW YOU MAY GO.

I WANT TO TALK TO MY SON.

YOU BURNT YOUR PRIESTHOOD HOLDER

AND A DEVOTED SISTERWIFE TO A CRISP,

ALIVE.

ARE YOU INCAPABLE OF REPENTANCE?

AND WHAT ABOUT THAT HORRID MONSTROSITY

YOU'RE CARRYING INSIDE YOU?

FATHER SAID YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER SHOULD READ LEVITICUS 20:14.

YOU HAVE NO ONE TO LOOK AFTER YOU NOW,

NO ONE TO HIDE BEHIND AND PROTECT YOU.

NOW SCAT.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS MEETING

WITH YOU, MY CONSTITUENTS.

I WANT TO CLEAR UP ANY RUFFLED FEATHERS.

- Man: WHY'D YOU HIDE IT FROM US? - BECAUSE IF IT WAS KNOWN,

- I'D NEVER HAVE BEEN ELECTED. - SO YOU JUST DECIDED TO LIE?

NO, SIR. I FELT IT WAS AN ISSUE

THAT WAS IRRELEVANT AS TO HOW I'D PERFORM MY DUTIES ONCE IN OFFICE.

- SOMEBODY ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK? - WELL, I CAME HERE TO SAY ONE THING:

I FEEL LIKE YOU SPIT ON ME.

- I UNDERSTAND, SIR. - NO, YOU DON'T.

- WELL, THAT WAS NEVER MY INTENTION. - Woman: OH GOD!

- ( people murmur ) - NOW WE'RE EVEN.

( door opens, closes )

PLEASE...

LET'S CONTINUE.

( music playing )

( sniffs )

( door closes )

YOU'RE BACK. HOW'D IT GO?

I GAVE THAT PRINCIPAL A GOOD PIECE OF MY MIND.

WHAT'S THAT?

WINE-- RED WINE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH WINE?

I'M COOKING WITH IT.

WHERE'D YOU GET IT?

AT THE STATE LIQUOR STORE.

I WANT TO EXPLORE NEW THINGS. I--

MAYBE FIND A WAY TO LIVE MORE IN THE MOMENT.

LIVE IN THE MOMENT?

THAT'S BLASPHEMY.

WHAT ABOUT OUR CHILDREN? WHAT ABOUT ETERNITY?

I THINK I'VE GOT ETERNITY COVERED IN SPADES.

- ( chuckles ) - DON'T GET SARCASTIC WITH ME.

YOU CAN'T JUST DO WHATEVER YOU WANT ALL OF A SUDDEN.

YOU'RE DEFYING THE WORD OF WISDOM.

NO, I'M FOLLOWING A DINNER RECIPE, NICKI.

IT'S MY MOTHER'S COQ AU VIN.

AND BY THE WAY, THE WORD OF WISDOM IS A RECENT COMMANDMENT.

IT WASN'T A COMMANDMENT IN BIBLE TIMES.

BECAUSE THERE WASN'T DRUNK DRIVING

OR SPIKED DRINKS AND PEOPLE GETTING RAPED THEN.

IF YOU'RE SO PROUD OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING,

WHY-- WHY CAN'T YOU LOOK ME IN THE EYE?

I KNOW YOUR MOTHER

AND I DON'T BELIEVE SHE WOULD EVER ALLOW LIQUOR IN HER HOUSE.

YOU'RE LYING TO ME.

YOU FOUND A PLACE IN THIS MARRIAGE

TO SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND YOU'VE HAD OUR SUPPORT.

I WOULD THINK YOU MIGHT WANT TO SUPPORT ME NOW.

WOULDN'T THAT BE THE NICE THING TO DO?

( door opens, closes )

SWEETHEART, GO DOWNSTAIRS AND HAVE YOUR DINNER.

I'LL BE THERE SOON.

THE STATE TRUSTEESHIP WAS DISSOLVED.

THE U.E.B. TRUST IS OURS TO RUN.

IT'S EVERYTHING WE FOUGHT SO HARD FOR.

FATHER, DID YOU HEAR ME?

THE $200 MILLION IS OURS.

I WAS ADVISED.

IT WAS OURS TO BEGIN WITH.

HE NEVER HAD TO SUFFER AS YOU HAVE.

HE TOOK AWAY EVERYTHING I LOVED.

I WAS PURIFIED IN THE DESERT.

NOW I'M GOING TO PURIFY THE FAITH.

( kids chattering )

ANYTHING LIKE THIS EVER EVER HAPPENS TO YOU AGAIN,

YOU CALL ME IMMEDIATELY, OKAY?

I WILL. I PROMISE.

GOOD BOY.

GO GET WASHED UP.

Nicki: I TOLD THAT PRINCIPAL WE WOULDN'T STAND FOR THIS,

THAT WE DEMANDED ACTION RIGHT AWAY.

YOU WOULD'VE BEEN PROUD OF ME, BILL.

THE PRINCIPAL CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

IF YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S A SCHOOL BOARD MEETING TOMORROW,

THEN WE'RE GOING, COME "H" OR HIGH WATER.

- ALL TOGETHER? - YES, ALL TOGETHER.

THAT'S THE WAY IT'S GONNA BE FROM NOW ON.

THAT'S WHAT WE FOUGHT FOR. THAT'S WHAT WE EARNED.

IF NICKI SPOKE TO PRINCIPAL SCANLON,

MAYBE WE DON'T NEED TO BE SO AGGRESSIVE RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE.

BARB, IT'S MORE THAN ONE CHILD OR ONE CLASSROOM.

DON'S SON'S BEEN THROUGH THE SAME THING.

I'M JUST SAYING THERE'S BEEN

A LOT OF WIDESPREAD HOSTILITY AND ANIMOSITY TOWARDS US.

NO, THERE'S NOT WIDESPREAD HOSTILITY.

- Margene: YEAH, BILL, THERE IS. - NO, ISOLATED INCIDENTS,

BUT THERE'S A RESERVOIR OF GOODWILL FOR US.

I'M BUILDING MEANINGFUL ALLIANCES ON THE HILL.

I HAD A VERY PRODUCTIVE TOWN HALL MEETING,

AND WE'RE GONNA FOLLOW IT UP WITH AN OPEN HOUSE.

OPEN HOUSE? WHERE?

HERE IN OUR HOMES, THURSDAY NIGHT.

Margene: WHY ON EARTH ARE WE HAVING PEOPLE INTO OUR HOMES?

- NOW? - TO SHOW THAT WE'RE NOT ALIEN MONSTERS.

FOR OUR HOME PLUS EMPLOYEES AND OUR CONSTITUENTS.

WELL, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE?

I'VE GOT TO START SHOPPING AND CLEANING RIGHT AWAY.

THERE YOU GO, BARB,

ASSUMING IT WILL BE AT YOUR HOUSE.

THERE ARE 40,000 CONSTITUENTS IN YOUR DISTRICT, BILL.

THAT'LL BE A NIGHTMARE.

YOU'RE RIGHT, NICKI, I WAS SO THOUGHTLESS.

WE'LL HAVE IT AT YOUR HOUSE.

THANKS,

BUT MARGIE NEVER GETS TO SHOW OFF HER HOUSE

AND IT IS IN THE MIDDLE. IT'S PERFECT.

- I HAVE ALMOST NO FURNITURE. - Nicki: ALL THE BETTER.

- THEY CAN MINGLE. - AND YOU'LL BRING SOME OF YOUR CHAIRS

AND SOME OF YOURS OVER TO MARGIE'S.

SERIOUSLY, BILL, HOW MANY PEOPLE?

I'M PRETTY SURE NOT 40,000.

YOU STILL AWAKE?

YEAH, KIND OF.

I CALLED UP TO THE CASINO.

THEY WON'T EVEN LET ME ON THE RESERVATION TO CLEAR OUT MY DESK.

WELL, THAT FIGURES.

THEY'VE RESCINDED OUR CONTRACT,

REFUSING TO PAY OUT OUR PERCENTAGE TOO.

BUT LEE SAID THE TRIBAL COUNCIL HAS AGREED TO MEDIATION.

THEY CAN'T WITHHOLD OUR SHARE, CAN THEY?

IT'S GONNA TAKE A FEW WEEKS TO SORT IT ALL OUT.

FIRST THINGS FIRST,

I WANT YOU AND NICKI TO SETTLE YOUR ISSUES.

NICKI AND I ARE FINE.

FUNNY, THAT'S WHAT SHE SAYS TOO,

YET CLEARLY YOU'RE NOT.

IF I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY SISTERWIVES, WE WORK IT OUT TOGETHER

ON OUR OWN TIME.

WE PREFER NOT TO BOTHER YOU WITH OUR PROBLEMS.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT OUR ISSUES?

I WANT YOU AND I TO SETTLE OUR DIFFERENCES.

I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO TRANSGRESSED.

I ALREADY FORGAVE YOU YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS.

I THOUGHT YOU FORGAVE ME MINE.

SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US?

I'LL TELL YOU WHERE IT LEAVES ME:

WONDERING EXACTLY

WHAT "I DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE" MEANS.

I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT NOT NEEDING SOMEONE MEANS TOO.

I-- I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY,

BUT I DON'T THINK

IT HAS TO DO WITH NOT LOVING THEM.

WELL, I'M RELIEVED TO HEAR THAT,

BUT THINGS GO DEEPER THAN THAT IN OUR WORLD.

THERE'S A FUNDAMENTAL WAY A FAMILY WORKS--

A HUSBAND LEADS IN CONSULTATION WITH HIS WIVES,

AND THEN THEY FOLLOW IN HARMONY.

AND I THINK I DESERVE TO KNOW WHETHER YOU SHARE THAT VISION OR NOT.

I LOVE MY FAMILY, BILL.

THAT'S WHAT I KNOW.

I LOVE MY FAMILY.

( door closes )

Man on TV: * It's my life

- * My heart is like an open highway... * - ( applause )

* Like Frankie said, I did it my way *

* I just wanna live while I'm alive *

* It's my life.

You all look like potential millionaires.

Can't find a decent job in this new normal economy?

Well, guess what, folks? God doesn't want you to be normal.

He wants you to be exceptional,

and Goji Blast entrepreneurs are exceptional.

and multilevel network marketing

is the fastest growing sector

of new business start-ups in Utah.

- Goji Blast is gonna be bigger than Najhie juice... - ( audience cheering )

...bigger than XANGO.

You can become the perfected you

that Heavenly Father intends,

the best possible,

the you that you've always known that you've been meant to be.

( wind blowing )

Bill: HERE'S THE DEAL I WAS ABLE TO GET YOU.

THE I.N.S. IS WILLING TO OFFER YOU A DEFERRED-ACTION LETTER.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

IT MEANS YOU HAVE 60 DAYS TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY

IF YOU WITHDRAW YOUR APPLICATION

FOR A GREEN CARD BASED ON MARRIAGE.

THE I.N.S. ALSO REQUIRES A NOTARIZED COPY OF YOUR DIVORCE DECREE,

WHICH WILL BE GRANTED IN 60 DAYS

AFTER YOU BOTH SIGN YOUR PETITION FOR DIVORCE,

RIGHT HERE AND HERE.

AND YOU NEED TO SIGN AS A WITNESS.

IF GORAN HAS TO LEAVE,

DOES ANA HAVE TO LEAVE TOO?

WHAT IF I REFUSE TO SIGN?

YOU KNOW THAT LARGE INSTITUTION OFF THE I-15 IN DRAPER

CALLED THE FEDERAL PENITENTIARY?

( pen scribbles, thumps )

WELL, AT LEAST I HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS.

THE BABY IS HEALTHY.

THE DOCTOR SAID HE WAS VERY STRONG.

- IT'S A BOY? - OH YES, DIDN'T I TELL YOU?

( music playing )

* I can still recall

* The wheat fields of St. Paul *

* And the morning we got caught *

* Robbing from an old hen *

* Old MacDonald, he made us work *

* But then he paid us for what it was worth *

* Another tank of gas

* And back on the road again *

* Me and you and a dog named Boo *

* Traveling and living off the land *

* Me and you and a dog named Boo *

* How I love being a free man. *

( clangs )

- ( sighs ) - ( people chattering )

IT'S NOT GONNA FIT.

I KNOW.

HEY, YOU'RE THE KID

THAT THREW THE BRICK THROUGH OUR WINDOW.

YEAH, I WAS PRETTY MAD.

HAND ME THAT TURKEY.

WHAT TIME DO YOU GO ON BREAK?

WAS THAT A STUPID MOVE?

I'M SOCIALLY RETARDED, SORT OF.

- ( P.A. beeps ) - Man over P.A.: Service to the paint counter.

- ME TOO. - Customer service to paint counter, please.

- GREAT. - Charlie: I READ ONE OF THE DOUCHEBAG'S WIVES

WAS EXCOMMUNICATED. TWO OF HIS DAUGHTERS LEFT HOME.

I GUESS HE COULDN'T KEEP HIS HANDS OFF THEM.

IF THEY'RE OLD ENOUGH TO PEE, THEY'RE OLD ENOUGH FOR ME.

- ( both laugh ) - HOLD UP THERE, CHARLIE.

WHAT YOU JUST SAY?

I SAID THERE'S A LOT OF UNDERAGE MARRIAGES IN YOUR RELIGION.

YOU'RE FIRED. GET OUT.

WELL, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? CLEAR OUT, NOW.

BILL, WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE ANY MORE PEOPLE.

- ( phones ringing ) - THIS IS A SITUATION WHERE YU NEED TO SHOW SOME LENIENCY.

CHARLIE'S ONLY SAYING WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS THINKING.

I FOUNDED THIS STORE, I SACRIFICED FOR THIS STORE

AND HE'S OUT THERE SAYING THIS, UNDERMINING MORALE?

- LET ME HANDLE IT. - I'M TAKING GARBAGE UP ON THE HILL.

I'M TAKING JUNK FROM THE VOTERS. WELL, I WILL NOT

- BE DISRESPECTED IN MY OWN STORE. - I CAN DEFUSE THE ISSUE.

WHY ARE YOU STANDING UP FOR HIM?

I MEAN, I DON'T GET WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

BECAUSE CHARLIE IS POPULAR WITH THE OTHER EMPLOYEES,

BECAUSE THIS PLACE IS A POWDER KEG

AND BECAUSE YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO ME FOR A CHANGE.

YOU HAVE TO GET USED TO THE FACT THAT YOUR ACTIONS,

RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY, HURT OTHERS.

I'M HIRING HIM BACK.

AND I SAY NO YOU'RE NOT.

I CAME HOME FROM WORK LAST NIGHT--

ONE OF MY WIVES WAS IN TEARS.

MY SON WOULDN'T EVEN COME OUT OF HIS ROOM.

( whispers ) HE'S HERE WITH ALL THREE WIVES.

AND WE CAN ONLY IMAGINE YOUR DISTRESS.

PLEASE LET ME FINISH. A GROUP OF BOYS HAD CORNERED HIM

AND BRANDED HIM WITH THE MOST HUMILIATING WORD THEY COULD THINK OF.

YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND

THAT PEOPLE ARE GONNA REACT TO YOU WITH SOME CURIOSITY.

THIS WAS MORE THAN CURIOSITY.

EXCUSE ME. MAY I?

YOUR SON'S NEW TO SCOUTING.

ALTHOUGH IT'S PROHIBITED, HAZING SOMETIMES HAPPENS TO NEW MEMBERS.

AND TECHNICALLY THIS IS A SCOUTING ISSUE, NOT A SCHOOL ONE.

IT HAPPENED ON SCHOOL PROPERTY.

BECAUSE THE THIRD MONDAY OF EVERY MONTH

IS DO A GOOD DEED AT SCHOOL DAY.

WOULD YOU HAVE US ABOLISH DO A GOOD DEED AT SCHOOL DAY?

WHO IS THIS BLOWHARD?

AND WHY IS SHE TALKING LIKE SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING?

- Bill: OF COURSE NOT. I JUST WANT TO ABOLISH... - PRINCIPAL SCANLON, NICKI...

- ...MY SON BEING BULLIED AT SCHOOL. - ...WHO YOU SPOKE TO.

THE STATE BOARD HAS PROHIBITED ANY FORM OF BULLYING IN OUR SCHOOLS--

"BEATING, WHIPPING, BRANDING, BRUISING, ELECTRIC SHOCK,

COERCED ACTS OF A SEXUAL NATURE, TOUCHING A PRIVATE BODY PART"--

Bill: LOOK, WE ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO COME INTO THE SCHOOLS

- FOR AN AFTERNOON AND EXPLAIN OUR BELIEFS-- - Man: MARGENE.

I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO.

IT'S-- IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY TO LEARN TOLERANCE

OR TO APPRECIATE DIVERSITY.

PLEASE DON'T LECTURE US ON DIVERSITY.

WE ACCOMMODATE THE PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY HANDICAPPED,

GAY AND LESBIAN STUDENTS-- YOU NAME IT.

- ( camera clicking ) - WE JUST WANT WHAT EVERY PARENT WANTS--

- A GOOD EDUCATION FOR OUR CHILDREN... - Man: MARGENE.

- ...IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. - Man: MARGENE, TURN TO THE CAMERA.

Bill: WE ARE PART OF THE CIVIC COMMUNITY

AND WE ARE ENTITLED TO RIGHTS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER CITIZEN.

WELL, I FOR ONE AM TOUCHED

THAT WE WERE ALL ABLE TO STEP OUT OF OUR ANGER AND DEFENSIVENESS

AND UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF OTHERS.

YOU CHILD DIDN'T HAVE HATE WORDS ETCHED ON HIS CHEST AND FACE.

THE BRUTALITY MUST STOP!

YOU CANNOT BEAT UP ON MY CHILDREN.

WAIT, I THOUGHT IT WAS HER CHILD.

THEY'RE ALL OF OUR CHILDREN!

- MARGENE, GIMME YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE. - FUCK YOU!

- MARGENE! - FUCK OFF! GET OUT OF MY FACE!

( lisping ) IT'S HER! SHE KNOCKED OUT MY TEETH!

- SHE BEAT ME UP! - Man: JUST GREAT.

( people murmuring )

- EVERYBODY JUST GET IN THE CAR. - ALL RIGHT. WELL, THIS IS NOT FINISHED.

- WE'LL FINISH IT AT HOME. - HOW COULD YOU HAVE SAID THAT?

EMBARRASSING US ALL WITH YOUR POTTY-MOUTH OUTBURST.

THEIR PHONY NICENESS GOT ON MY NERVES.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THEY DO. WE'RE NOT GONNA STOOP TO THEIR LEVEL.

WHY ARE YOU SNAPPING AT ME? NICKI BEAT UP A KID.

I SPOKE TO HIM AND HE FELL OVER. I NEVER EVEN TOUCHED HIM.

YEAH, IF KNOCKING A CHILD'S TEETH OUT IS HOW YOU CHOOSE

TO REPRESENT US IN PUBLIC, BOY, ARE WE IN TROUBLE.

- I SAID HE FELL. - GEE, I WISH WE COULD BELIEVE THAT.

MAYBE IF I WAS MORE POLISHED AND SMOOTH LIKE YOU, BARB--

OKAY, THAT'S ENOUGH. YOU'RE MY WIVES, WE'RE NOT HAVING A PUBLIC MELEE.

I'M JUST SAYING SOMEBODY NEEDS TO LOOK AT THEIR ANGER ISSUES.

- OH, REALLY? - ( car alarm chirps )

MAYBE IF I HAD A GLASS OF WINE, I'D BE ABLE TO RELAX.

- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? - SHE'S AN ALCOHOLIC, BILL.

CHEESE AND FRIES, I AM NOT AN ALCOHOLIC.

SHE'S BEEN DRINKING, A LOT.

SHE'S BREAKING HER HOLY COVENANTS

AND SHE'S CUTTING HERSELF OFF FROM GOD AND HER FAMILY.

- BARB, IS THAT TRUE? - NO.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS HERE.

OH NO, BARB, ARE YOU LYING ABOUT THIS TOO?

I HAVEN'T BEEN LYING ABOUT ANYTHING.

THAT'S ENOUGH. LET'S GO.

YOU LIED ABOUT WHO WAS TRYING TO SINK THE CAMPAIGN.

SHE'S ONLY DRINKING BECAUSE SHE FEELS GUILTY ABOUT HER BETRAYAL.

I SAID STOP IT! NOW YOU TWO GET IN THE CAR

AND-AND-- AND PUT ON YOUR SEAT BELTS.

( truck door opens )

TELL ME RIGHT NOW-- ARE YOU DRINKING?

I BOUGHT A BOTTLE OF WINE.

YES. YES, I AM.

I AM WELL AWARE-- I AM GRAVELY AWARE

OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF MY TRANSGRESSION.

I DO NOT TAKE DRINKING LIGHTLY,

BUT THIS WAS A CONSCIOUS CHOICE

AND I BELIEVE IT'S A GOOD STEP FOR ME.

HOW CAN THIS BE A GOOD STEP FOR YOU?

I THINK IT'S A STEP IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.

I DON'T THINK YOU'RE A DRINKER, ANYWAY.

WELL, MAYBE I AM.

- HOW-- HOW DO I KNOW UNLESS I TRY? - ( sighs )

SO THIS IS WHAT YOU MEANT WHEN YOU SAID YOU WANTED A DIFFERENT KIND OF LIFE?

S-- PARTLY. YES.

I-- I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW.

SO NICKI WAS TELLING THE TRUTH.

IS THIS SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT?

NO.

I DON'T KNOW. YES.

- ( sighs ) - ( door opens, closes )

( knocks )

- I'M BILL HENRICKSON. - I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

- I'D LIKE YOU TO LEAVE. - MY WIFE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY

- TO YOU AND YOUR SON. - Boy: WHO IS IT?

NICKI.

I'M SORRY I SCARED YOU. WHAT I DID WAS TERRIBLE.

SOMETIMES I OPEN MY MOUTH

AND SAY STUPID THINGS THAT ONLY HURT OTHERS.

AND I'M DEEPLY SORRY.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I DO IT. IT'S JUST WHO I AM.

THE DENTIST SAID THE BRIDGE COSTS OVER $1,000.

WE DON'T HAVE IT.

- HEY. - WE'LL PAY FOR IT.

Man: DON'T...

WE SHOULD BE ON THE SAME SIDE, NOT FIGHTING ONE ANOTHER.

WE'RE NOT ON THE SAME SIDE. WE DON'T WANT TO BE A PART OF YOU.

THIS ATTENTION-- WE DON'T WANT IT.

MARGENE, MAKE SURE YOUR UPSTAIRS ARE CLEAN.

YOUR BATHROOMS CAN GET A LITTLE GRUBBY.

AT OPEN HOUSES, EVERYONE INSPECTS EVERY LITTLE DETAIL

- LOOKING FOR IMPERFECTIONS. - I'VE HAD PLENTY OF PEOPLE OVER TO MY HOUSE, NICKI.

- ( chairs rattle ) - ( door slides open )

I'LL GET THE REST OF THE CHAIRS WHEN I COME BACK FROM THE HILL.

I THINK WE ALL HAVE TO FACE FACTS

AND ADMIT THAT THIS MAY NOT GO SO WELL.

MAYBE NOT. MIGHT AS WELL TALK TURKEY.

WE'RE GONNA SEE EXACTLY WHERE WE STAND.

I DON'T CARE IF A DOZEN PEOPLE SHOW UP OR IF IT'S JUST THREE.

WHOEVER COMES, IT'S OUR START.

IT'S THE MOMENT WE TURN THE CORNER.

THE PROBLEM IS

YOU TWO DON'T BELIEVE IN BILL'S VISION FOR US.

- ( bottles rattle ) - OKAY.

LET'S HAVE THIS OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL.

I MEAN, WHEN IS THIS GONNA END, NICKI?

- WHAT, BARB? - YES, I TRIED TO STOP

THE CAMPAIGN IN ITS TRACKS.

I WAS ANGRY.

I WAS ANGRY WITH YOU, WITH MARGIE

AND WITH BILL. AND WITH MYSELF.

WELL, THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT YOU BETRAYED US.

WE ALL DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IN THIS MARRIAGE TO MAKE THINGS WORK.

WHEN I MET WITH THAT REPORTER, I THOUGHT I WAS DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR MY FAMILY.

YOU TOOK A UNILATERAL ACTION TO SINK US.

FORGET THAT IT WAS SECRET AND UNDERHANDED.

- DROP IT, NICKI. - Nicki: FORGET THAT YOU WERE DESPERATE.

I GET IT. WE WERE ALL DESPERATE.

YOU ARE GETTING ON MY VERY LAST NERVE.

YOU TOOK IT UPON YOURSELF TO SINGLEHANDEDLY MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION

ON WHAT DIRECTION WE SHOULD GO IN.

THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS MARRIAGE IS ABOUT AND YOU KNOW IT.

- CAN WE JUST LAY OFF? - YOU LOST TRACK OF YOUR PLACE.

I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE. I DON'T TRUST YOU.

AND YOU BROKE OUR VOWS.

( sighs )

IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK,

WHILE YOU'VE BEEN RUNNING AROUND IN FULL MELTDOWN

CAREENING BETWEEN PILLAR AND POST--

THE DEBT, THE INFIDELITY,

THE SPYING, THE BIRTH CONTROL?

WE MADE ALLOWANCES FOR YOUR GROWING PAINS,

BUT YOU'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT AN IMPOSSIBLE BRAT FOR MONTHS NOW,

UTTERLY NARCISSISTIC AND SELF-ABSORBED.

- OKAY, GREAT. - THEN YOU HAVE THE NERVE-- THE COLOSSAL NERVE

TO SAY YOU DON'T WANT TO SHARE BILL?

WELL, I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU-- IT WASN'T NEWS.

YOU'VE NEVER BEEN GOOD AT SHARING.

LET ME CLARIFY ONE THING.

WHEN I SAID I DIDN'T WANT TO SHARE BILL WITH YOU AND MARGENE,

I MEANT I WISHED I DIDN'T HAVE TO SHARE HIM.

IT'S DIFFERENT. AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ELSE.

I'M A BIGGER PERSON NOW AND I WON'T GO BACK TO BEING SMALL.

AND I WANNA SAY SOMETHING!

I THOUGHT THE WHOLE POINT

OF ALL THIS COMING-INTO-THE-LIGHT STUFF

WAS THAT WE WERE ULTIMATELY SUPPOSED TO BE ACCEPTED,

BUT NOBODY IS EXACTLY EMBRACING US WITH OPEN ARMS.

SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW? WHAT'S THE PLAN NOW, HUH?

- ( men chat, laugh ) - ( knocks )

THE CAUCUS IS OVER? I THOUGHT IT WAS AT 2:00.

GENTLEMEN, EXCUSE US PLEASE.

( door shuts )

IT WAS AN EMERGENCY MEETING.

THEN SOMEONE SHOULD'VE MADE AN EMERGENCY PHONE CALL AND TOLD ME.

- WHAT WAS IT ABOUT? - YOU.

IT MAY SURPRISE YOU,

BUT MORE THAN A FEW MEMBERS DON'T WANT YOU SEATED.

- HOW MANY? - I HEARD ABOUT YOU AT THE SCHOOL BOARD,

- ATTACKING THE BOY SCOUTS. - I WASN'T ATTACKING THE BOY SCOUTS.

- WHAT'S YOUR BEEF AGAINST THE SCOUTS? - I'VE GOT NO BEEF WITH THEM.

- WERE YOU A MEMBER? - NO, I WASN'T.

I'M SPONSORING A "SENSE OF THE SENATE" RESOLUTION

CELEBRATING THE 100th ANNIVERSARY OF SCOUTING IN UTAH.

WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH A SPECIAL,

CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH SCOUTING IN THIS STATE.

YOU GOT IT?

I DON'T GIVE A FLAMING HECK

ABOUT THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA.

YOU TELL ME IF I'M GONNA BE ACCORDED

THE SAME RESPECT DUE ANY MEMBER OF THE SENATE.

OR IS THE CLUB GONNA CLOSE RANKS AGAINST ME?

THE BODY POLITIC IS GOING TO EXPEL YOU

LIKE ANTIBODIES ATTACKING A VIRUS.

YOU KNEW THERE WAS NO RECALL IN UTAH,

NO IMPEACHMENT EXCEPT FOR FELONIES.

BUT YOU ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT

TO THE STATE, TO THE CHURCH.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CHURCH OR THE STATE.

I CARE ABOUT MY FAMILY.

I BROUGHT THEM THIS FAR ON MY OWN,

AND WE'LL SEE THIS THROUGH.

HOW? WHO ARE YOU GONNA WORK WITH?

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY RELATIONSHIPS. YOU DON'T KNOW ANYONE.

YOU'RE ALONE.

I SHOULD GO.

I'VE GOT TO WORK IN MY UNCLE'S PET SHOP IN THE MORNING.

JUST STAY A FEW MORE MINUTES.

I DON'T HAVE MANY GUESTS...

OR FRIENDS.

YOU GUYS DON'T CARE ABOUT CAFFEINE?

I'M JUST BAD.

I-- I USED TO GET IN TROUBLE A LOT,

BUT I'M GOOD AT GETTING OUT OF IT.

IF YOU'RE POLITE AND YOU ACT NICE,

NO ONE EVER SUSPECTS YOU.

( door slides open )

OH.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

THEY'RE JUST TALKING, NICKI.

( door shuts )

- RIGHT? - YEAH. UM, MOM, THIS IS GARY.

I KNOW WHO HE IS.

BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU SIT.

WE TRIED TO VACUUM UP ALL THE GLASS FROM THE BRICK

THAT YOU THREW, BUT IT SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE HOUSES.

I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.

IT'S GETTING LATE. YOU'D BETTER LEAVE.

( fridge opens )

- ( door opens ) - WHY WERE YOU JUST SO MEAN?

- YOU'RE 15 YEARS OLD. - ( door closes )

YOU SHOULDN'T BE ENTERTAINING BOYS YOU HARDLY EVEN KNOW.

- WE WERE JUST TALKING. - YOU'RE ONLY 15.

AND I LIKE HIM.

WHERE'S MALINDA?

WHAT?

NO ONE'S HEARD FROM HER EITHER.

I DOUBT IF PAPA WAS RUNNING FROM THE LAW

THAT HE'D BE DRAGGING A SICK WOMAN IN A WHEELCHAIR WITH HIM.

HOW SHOULD I KNOW WHERE SHE IS?

( sighs )

- ( door shuts ) - YOU HAVE TO TELL HER.

( whispering ) NO, I DON'T.

HE'S HIDING OUT SOMEWHERE, EVADING ARREST.

THAT'S WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED

IN MAMA HADN'T TAKEN MATTERS INTO HER OWN HANDS.

HER FATHER'S DEAD. SHE HAS TO BE TOLD.

- YOU CAN'T HIDE THAT FROM HER. - OH YES, I CAN.

I WILL NOT HAVE HER KNOWING WHAT HE DID,

WHAT HE TRIED TO DO OR WHAT HER GRANDMOTHER DID.

SHE'S MY DAUGHTER AND I'M PROTECTING HER NO MATTER WHAT.

THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT'S GOTTA BE.

( wind blowing )

GO AHEAD AND PUT AWAY THE FOOD.

YOU CAN TURN OUT THE PORCH LIGHTS.

I THINK WE SHOULD GIVE IT A FEW MORE MINUTES.

PLEASE, NICKI, DON'T.

- IT'S ALMOST... - 10:00.

NO ONE'S COMING. THAT'S IT.

( doorbell rings )

DON.

- THANKS FOR COMING. - ( door shuts )

ACTUALLY, EVERYBODY ALREADY LEFT.

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU, BILL.

COME ON IN THEN.

I HATE TO COME OVER HERE AND SPOIL THE PARTY,

BUT I CAN'T SIT ON THIS ANY LONGER.

IF WE'RE GONNA GO ON TOGETHER AS PARTNERS,

I NEED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE DECISIONS

THAT I THINK ARE RIGHT FOR HOME PLUS.

SIX PEOPLE WERE GONNA QUIT, SO I HIRED CHARLIE BACK.

ALL RIGHT, FINE. FINE.

- MAYBE YOU WERE RIGHT. - MAYBE I WAS?

- THAT ISN'T THE POINT. - YOU KNOW I TRY TO BE A FAIR MAN, DON.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT FAIR. I'M TALKING ABOUT RESPECT,

A SACRIFICE OF YOUR OPINIONS,

OF YOUR POINT OF VIEW FOR ONE MOMENT,

BECAUSE I ASKED YOU FOR IT, BECAUSE I FELT IT WAS RIGHT,

BECAUSE IT WAS MY OPINION AND IT WAS IMPORTANT

TO MY SELF-RESPECT AND TO ME.

I AM FIGHTING FOR THE PRINCIPLE, FOR ALL OF US.

FORGET ALL OF US. YOU COULDN'T MAKE ONE LITTLE SACRIFICE FOR ME

AFTER ALL THE SACRIFICES I'VE MADE FOR YOU?

EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T INTEND TO, EVEN IF IT WAS FOR A GREATER GOOD,

WHY CAN'T YOU EVER APOLOGIZE AND SAY YOU'RE SORRY?

GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE RISKED EVERYTHING

AND IT MAY NOT TURN OUT WELL?

TO HAVE PUSHED EVERYONE YOU LOVE TO THE MAX

AND LEFT THEM MISERABLE AND UNHAPPY?

I'M DEEPLY SORRY FOR WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH.

I APOLOGIZE TO YOU FOR MY ACTIONS.

I'M SORRY FOR WHAT I DID TO YOU,

WHAT I ASKED OF YOU, WHAT I ASKED OF MY FAMILY,

MY WIVES, MY CHILDREN,

THE SUFFERING THEY'VE GONE THROUGH, THE PRICE THEY'VE PAID.

I AM CULPABLE.

I'VE GONE AND TORN MY FAMILY APART

AND I AM TRULY SORRY.

I'LL LEAVE YOU FOLKS ALONE.

( door opens, closes )

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE ROAD

IN FRONT OF US TOMORROW IS GONNA LOOK LIKE.

WE'LL GET BY. I KNOW IT.

( wind blowing )

( doorbell rings )

( light clicks )

WE WAITED UNTIL WE THOUGHT

MOST OF THE PEOPLE WOULD BE GONE.

I DROVE UP FROM BLUFFDALE.

WE LIVE IN THE AVENUES.

OUR HUSBAND DOESN'T KNOW WE'RE HERE.

I KNOW HE'LL COME AROUND THOUGH.

- MM-HMM. - THANKS FOR TAKING A STAND FOR US.

WELCOME.

- IT MUST BE COLD OUT THERE. - Barb: YEAH.

- OH, WE HAVE SOME HOT CIDER. - YEAH, I THINK HAVE SOME PIE LEFT TOO.

COME IN. COME IN.

- WE CAN TALK. - THANK YOU.

- WELCOME. - THANK YOU.

- HELLO. HI. - HI.

- COME IN. - COME ON IN.
