♪ Under lock and key

- It's like an oven out there.

- We keep saying we're gonna
put air conditioning in

but we haven't done it yet

We all just huddle
around the fan

in the living room.

My husband calls it
family time.

Ah, you find everything
okay?

- Yes.

Oh, can I get a gift box?
- Mm-hmm.

- I'm in a hurry.

- Oh, uh, this darn thing,
it gets stuck sometimes.

- These people certainly
take their time, don't they?

- Sorry, what did you say?

- Bonnie, can you help me
with this, please?

Don't.
- She can't talk

to you like that.
- Yes, she can.

And if you say anything,
all you're gonna do

is get in trouble
and you need this job.

So don't.

[card machine slides]

[sighs] Sorry for the delay.

Have a wonderful day.

Well, just gonna blame that
on the heat.

- Louise, why don't you
and your family

come over
this weekend and swim?

Kathleen and Diana
will be there.

You can meet them
and our kids can play together.

- You don't have to do that.

- I don't have to do what?
- You don't have to

try to fix what just happened.
- I'm not.

I really want you to come.

- You sure?
- Yes.

- That's very nice of you.

Thank you.

- Mr. Bishop,

I need your signature, please.

- [sighs]

Ohh.

- Do you want me
to turn that off?

- No, it feels nice, actually.
[chuckles]

There we go.

- Do you have any idea of when
you might be making

your decision as to who's going
to be senior loan officer?

- Well, you're being
considered, Diana.

Can I take this fan?
My office is like

an absolute oven and there's
a nice breeze out here.

- I'm sorry. Could you be
a bit more specific?

- Fine. You want the truth?

Here's the truth: I wouldn't
get my hopes up if I were you.

Thanks, Diana.

- I think you should
wear this one.

- I don't think I'm in the mood
for a pool party.

I just had
the worst day at work.

- Well, all the more reason
to take a dip and relax.

- I--I'm going nowhere.

And a new bathing suit
isn't gonna change that.

- Oh, my. It's hotter
than the dickens out there.

Hello, Kathleen.
- Well, hi, Mrs. Vaughn.

I love your little outfit.
- Thank you.

What are you girls up to?

- Oh, just a little shopping.

Look at this suit
we just got for Diana.

Isn't she gonna look great?

- Where is the rest of it?

- God, Mother.

- I hope you're not going out
in public like that.

- We're going to Bonnie's
to go swimming.

- Are you?
Oh, that's funny.

Diana didn't mention
anything about that.

- I think I'm a little old
to be asking permission

to go to a friend's house
to go swimming,

don't you think?
- That's not what I meant

and you know it.

- You should come,
Mrs. Vaughn.

- She can't. She can't,
she can't be out in this heat.

It's very bad for all of
her internal organs.

And external. Every organ.

It's bad.
- I could,

as long as I stay
out of the sun.

But as you can see,
my daughter doesn't

want me to go,
so I'll stay home.

- Oh, that's not true.
Is it, Diana?

- Do whatever you want to do.

- If you're done, please put
your glass in the sink.

- Actually, I'm getting more.

[music playing on TV]

- Girls, we're having
company tomorrow.

- Who?
- My friend Louise

and her family.
- Why?

Are you trying to prove how
cool you are by inviting

your black friend over?
- No.

I invited her over because
I thought it would

be a nice thing to do.

- Yeah, well, whatever.
I'm not gonna be here.

I'm going to the beach
with Monica.

- Well, I'm sorry,
but you can't go.

- Mom, it's the
Sand and Sea Club.

- Just ask her
if you can reschedule.

- Oh, okay, yes.
I will see if Monica

and her entire family
can reschedule for me.

- That's the spirit.

Jessica, go brush your teeth.

You had better change
this attitude.

- Or what?

- Or you're going
to be grounded.

- But having me around
the house may cut into

time with your new boyfriend.

- I think we should
talk about this.

- I really don't want to.
- Why not?

- Because I don't care
what you do.

- Becca.

When I was a teenager,

when I'd get upset,

I'd lock myself in my room.

Or I'd get in the pool
and float around

in the water for hours.

I just wanted to escape.

But you can't escape
your feelings, sweetheart.

- Are you and Dad
ever getting back together?

- I don't know.

But whatever happens,
we'll always be a family.

- Yeah, I'm sorry,
but I don't feel like

I have a family anymore.

- ♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

- I'm a little cold.

- Do you want your sweater?

- I can't sit by a pool
and wear a sweater.

I'm in the shade, but I'd just
like to be a little warmer.

- It's the sun, Mother.
You can't turn it up.

- Would you try
and be nice to her?

- I have tried.
It doesn't do anything.

I know that you think that
she's adorable,

with her little quips
and her underhanded remarks,

but you don't have to
spend every day with her.

- Well, one day she's gonna die

and you're gonna thank me
for these memories.

- I really don't think I will.

- Everyone, this is
my friend Louise

and her daughter and son,
William and Rachel.

This is Kathleen and Diana
and her mom, Peggy.

- It's so nice to meet you,
ladies.

Did you guys say hello?

both: Hi.

- This house is really big.
- Oh.

- Well, come on in
and I'll show you around.

- See you in a few.

- Well, they seem like
a nice family.

- Uh-huh.
- Would've been nice to know

they were colored.

- What difference
would that have made?

- Doesn't make any difference.

It just would've
been nice to know.

- And this is the rec room.

This is Becca, my daughter,

and Jessica.
- Hi.

- Oh, you have
a beautiful home.

- Thank you.

I have a pitcher of margaritas
in the kitchen,

if you want one.
- Oh, that sounds good.

- Oh, Ma, can I go swimming?

- Well, ask Mrs. Nolan.

- Of course he can.

Becca.
- [sighs]

- Maybe you'd like to join
William swimming.

- I'm watching TV.
- Well, you can watch TV later.

We have guests.
- Bonnie, it's fine.

She doesn't have to
entertain William.

He's just happy
he gets to go swimming.

Is there somewhere
he can change?

- There's a bathroom right down
the hall on the left.

- Okay. Thank you.

- He seems like
such a nice boy.

- Ah, he's shy.
Just like his father.

Oh, by the way.
Martin sends his apologies

He has to work at his brother's
auto shop on the weekends.

- Well, we'll just have to
do this again sometime

so he can come.
- Oh, that would be great.

Yeah. Let's go get
those margaritas.

- Yes, please.

So we rented a house
down in Mexico

for a girls' getaway.

And this was, like,
three years ago?

- Four.
- Four, that's right.

And it was hotter
than it is now.

But of course, that's Mexico
in July.

So Kathleen and I went out
and we had a few drinks.

- Oh, we were drunk.
[laughter]

- And we finally get back in

and we look around, but we
don't recognize anything.

- 'Cause we went in
the wrong damn house.

[laughter]

[both sigh]

You been down to Mexico,
Louise?

- Uh, no.

Knott's Berry Farm is about

as far south as we've gotten.

- Well, you would love it.
You should go sometime.

- Yes, I probably should.

So where were you at
in the story, Diana?

- I didn't go.
I was in Phoenix.

- We went to see Andy Williams.

- On a bus.
Mother doesn't like to fly.

- You can't stop and see the
Hoover Dam from an airplane.

I'd be careful, Diana.

When you've had
a couple drinks,

you tend to eat more
and I'd hate to see you

put that weight back on
that you lost.

She put on seven pounds.

Ah, when was that?
Uh, two summers ago.

I mean, a pound or two
is normal.

But seven?

- In case anyone was wondering,

the answer is yes,

today is the best day
of my life.

- [laughs] Oh, Diana.
- Sorry.

- Well, we've heard
so much about you, Louise,

but Bonnie never mentioned
how beautiful you are.

- Oh, well, thank you.

- You're welcome.
You have such pretty skin.

You know, the thing
about colored people

that I noticed is that
y'all have

different colors of skin tones.

Some colored people
are very light-skinned

and some are very dark.

But you have just
the perfect tone.

- Um--
- It's like chocolate.

- Anyone hungry?

- Mm, no.

- Hm.

- Have you had much experience
with babies?

- [sighs]

Mom.
- Go out there

and talk to William.

You're being very rude.

- Um, you're the one who
invited them over.

You go talk to him.

- Becca, this afternoon
is awkward enough.

- Yeah, I told you
it was gonna be weird.

- Come on. I really want
Louise and her family

to have a good time.

- What am I even supposed
to say to him?

- You're a teenager,
he's a teenager.

Talk about whatever
it is you talk about.

It can't be that hard.

- I don't want to.

- If I have to physically force
you to do it, I will.

But you're gonna go out there
and talk to that boy.

Am I making myself clear?

I'll let you use
my Italian tanning oil.

- [sighs] Fine.
- Thank you.

- Doesn't mean I don't
hate it here.

♪

- You getting in?

- Yes. Yeah, the heat's
getting to me.

- Not to mention the alcohol.

I cannot understand how you can
walk around like that.

- Like what? It's a swimsuit,
I'm going swimming.

- But why make a spectacle
of yourself?

Na--ah--I'm sure
Louise agrees with me.

I mean, your people could
never walk around like that.

It's disrespectful.

- My people?
- I'm sorry.

Mother.
- All I meant

is that in my day, a woman knew
something about modesty.

- Let me tell you something
about modesty.

If you're a woman nowadays,
it gets you nowhere.

Okay, it's just like saying,
"Sit in the corner

and be a good little girl."

The only way to get
ahead in this world

is to make a little noise.

Modesty gets you
a seat at the tea party,

But isn't much God damn good
for anything else.

- Where are you going?
- I'm leaving!

- What about your mama?

- You wanted her to come,

so you can take her home.

♪

- You gonna get in?
- Uh, no. Water's kinda cold,

so--
- Just gotta get used to it.

- Um, my friend Emma,
she has a heated pool

so you can even swim
in the winter.

So what type of music
do you like?

- Um, I like everything.
You know?

- Do you like KC
and the Sunshine band?

- Yeah. Yeah, they're okay,
I guess.

- Okay, so what bands
do you actually like?

- Uhh, I like Queen.

You know, Earth Wind and Fire's
pretty cool.

Uh, The Ohio Players.

- I actually have
an Ohio Players album.

- Which one?
- "Fire."

- Good pick.
That's my favorite.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

- Do you wanna go
listen to it?

both: Okay.

I taught you to act

when you're

- You apologize

to Mrs. Nolan and to Becca,
right now.

- I'm sorry.

- Now go outside.

- Becca, go to your room,
please.

[door opens, closes]

- I am very sorry about this,
Bonnie.

I don't know what to say.

I guess this is
what you can expect

when you raise teenagers
in this day and age.

- I can tell you,
when you walk into a room

and you see
something like that,

it stops you in your tracks.

It's not right.

[soft music]

- It's not right?

I think we should
probably head home now.

Thank you for
a wonderful afternoon.

[both laughing]

- You want another one?

- No, I shouldn't.

I mean, I do,
but I shouldn't.

- Do you wanna go back
to my place?

- And do what?
What would we do?

- Just thought we'd get to know
each other a little better.

- I wanna hear you say it.

You wanna take me
back to your place

and you wanna do what?

- Have sex.
- Oh.

That's what you wanna do?

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm?

Well, then, we should
probably

go back to your place
and have sex, right?

- Yeah.

- Here you go.

I think if you drink something
nice and cool,

it'll make you feel better.

- I'm worried, Kathleen.
Where could she be?

I'm sure she's fine,
Mrs. Vaughn.

- It's not like her to go off
and not let me know

where she's going.

- Oh, you poor thing.

Do you wanna watch some TV?

Might take your mind
off things.

Oh, "Saturday Night
at the Movies" is on,

and they're playing
"To Kill a Mockingbird."

You wanna watch that?
I just love Gregory Peck.

Greg actually met him once.

- Where was Greg today?

- Oh, he had something
planned with some friends

in San Diego.

It's probably for the best.

He would've been bored silly.

- I was hoping I was going to
finally get to meet him.

I'm very curious
to see what he's like.

- Well, maybe next time.

But I know you're
gonna like him.

He's very sweet.

- That's what I've heard.

My, look at the time.

Oh.
Why hasn't Diana called me?

- Oh, don't you worry,
Mrs. Vaughn.

Diana was pretty peeved
when she left.

She's probably out somewhere
just blowing off some steam.

There's so many.
