1
00:00:00,220 --> 00:00:01,520
April: Previously on Chasing Life...
2
00:00:01,554 --> 00:00:04,264
- Will you marry me?
- You can always think about it some more.
3
00:00:04,289 --> 00:00:07,155
- Mom.
- Fine. I am totally supportive of you
4
00:00:07,180 --> 00:00:08,890
and your whirlwind marriage.
5
00:00:08,924 --> 00:00:11,953
We're gonna have to make another sacrifice.
6
00:00:11,978 --> 00:00:13,717
You're making me leave Charton?
7
00:00:13,742 --> 00:00:16,108
I can't really say no to April these days.
8
00:00:16,133 --> 00:00:18,109
- (Cell phone buzzes)
- And there's the person I can't say no to.
9
00:00:18,144 --> 00:00:19,878
- Who's that?
- My ex.
10
00:00:19,912 --> 00:00:23,014
- We have a match.
- Finally.
11
00:00:23,049 --> 00:00:25,784
I found dad's unpublished manuscript.
12
00:00:25,818 --> 00:00:28,019
Our dad... Is the worst.
13
00:00:28,054 --> 00:00:31,109
- Is that dad's book?
- Yeah.
14
00:00:33,693 --> 00:00:35,760
April's voice: Our nation's
president wasn't the only man
15
00:00:35,795 --> 00:00:38,430
partaking in some nefarious activities.
16
00:00:38,464 --> 00:00:39,764
I hope they impeach him.
17
00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:42,639
Now, Rose, that is no way
to talk about our president.
18
00:00:46,008 --> 00:00:49,610
April's voice: I can't imagine what
she'd think of me if she knew the truth.
19
00:00:49,645 --> 00:00:51,446
Trying to make up for
the fact that you're going
20
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:53,448
to be gone on your
fishing trip for so long?
21
00:00:53,482 --> 00:00:55,616
- April's voice: Precisely.
- Of course not.
22
00:00:55,651 --> 00:00:58,586
Remind me again why you're going
to be gone for two whole weeks?
23
00:00:58,620 --> 00:01:00,984
April's voice: I drew a blank
on the excuse I'd told this time.
24
00:01:01,009 --> 00:01:04,515
With so many lies, it was harder
to keep track of the reality.
25
00:01:04,540 --> 00:01:06,062
I had three jobs:
26
00:01:06,087 --> 00:01:08,221
Keeping my obligation down south compliant,
27
00:01:08,498 --> 00:01:11,400
making sure my family in Rhode
Island remained oblivious,
28
00:01:11,467 --> 00:01:13,334
- and...
- Hey, Carson,
29
00:01:13,369 --> 00:01:15,003
turn on the TV!
30
00:01:15,037 --> 00:01:16,270
- (Gunshot)
- (Grunts)
31
00:01:16,312 --> 00:01:18,246
Nancy, Rose, Ellen, stay down!
32
00:01:18,273 --> 00:01:20,726
- Whatever you do, don't get up.
- Dad, what's going on?
33
00:01:20,751 --> 00:01:21,751
(Cocks gun)
34
00:01:26,890 --> 00:01:30,051
- So, what do you think?
- Well, from what I've read so far,
35
00:01:30,085 --> 00:01:32,887
it is a book about man with two families,
36
00:01:32,921 --> 00:01:35,578
because he's a spy fighting communists
37
00:01:35,603 --> 00:01:36,636
at the tail end of the cold war.
38
00:01:36,661 --> 00:01:39,141
Both families are just like us.
39
00:01:39,523 --> 00:01:41,429
April, there are parts of this book
40
00:01:41,463 --> 00:01:43,312
that are ripped directly from my childhood,
41
00:01:43,337 --> 00:01:46,101
like when the character goes to
visit his "obligation down south,"
42
00:01:46,126 --> 00:01:47,894
he brings her an old record...
43
00:01:47,919 --> 00:01:49,787
Exactly as he used to do for me.
44
00:01:49,812 --> 00:01:51,780
- Timothy Carson is our dad.
- Okay, okay,
45
00:01:51,836 --> 00:01:53,804
maybe there are some similarities,
46
00:01:53,829 --> 00:01:56,357
but... last time I checked,
nobody got shot in my house.
47
00:01:56,382 --> 00:01:58,640
And the first line of the book is
48
00:01:58,665 --> 00:02:01,634
"this is a story about how I lived
my life and planned my death."
49
00:02:01,659 --> 00:02:05,060
Dad died in a car accident.
How does Timothy Carson die?
50
00:02:05,085 --> 00:02:07,654
The book stops mid-sentence.
It's not finished.
51
00:02:08,773 --> 00:02:11,025
Natalie, maybe you're
misunderstanding some of...
52
00:02:11,060 --> 00:02:12,984
So now you're questioning
my reading comprehension?
53
00:02:13,009 --> 00:02:14,031
No.
54
00:02:14,507 --> 00:02:16,664
I just think that you might be trying
55
00:02:16,698 --> 00:02:19,437
to turn this into something that it isn't.
56
00:02:19,462 --> 00:02:22,530
There's no way our dad is this
character. It's just fiction.
57
00:02:22,555 --> 00:02:24,289
We all suffered from dad's lie,
58
00:02:24,314 --> 00:02:26,482
and you definitely got the worst of it,
59
00:02:26,769 --> 00:02:29,537
but I think he was just trying
his best to make everyone happy.
60
00:02:29,562 --> 00:02:31,046
Okay, yeah, that's what I thought...
61
00:02:31,071 --> 00:02:32,351
Before this book.
62
00:02:32,679 --> 00:02:33,988
But now that I've read it,
63
00:02:34,016 --> 00:02:35,650
I've learned all the manipulative stuff
64
00:02:35,684 --> 00:02:38,019
he had to do to try to cover
his tracks for two decades...
65
00:02:38,053 --> 00:02:40,955
The secret credit cards,
the paying off both families
66
00:02:40,989 --> 00:02:43,929
with money and gifts to make
sure we stayed oblivious.
67
00:02:44,686 --> 00:02:46,554
Just... keep reading.

74
00:03:11,173 --> 00:03:12,875
April: So, you'll start at the altar,
75
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:15,203
then the bridesmaids will
come down with the groomsmen,
76
00:03:15,302 --> 00:03:16,671
and then I'll come down.
77
00:03:16,695 --> 00:03:18,762
Wait. Who... who's
walking you down the aisle?
78
00:03:19,023 --> 00:03:22,242
Oh. I don't know. Maybe my mom...
79
00:03:22,267 --> 00:03:23,547
Or Uncle George.
80
00:03:24,398 --> 00:03:25,565
Let's sidebar that.
81
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:28,867
I get there, and then the
Awakening passage is read.
82
00:03:28,892 --> 00:03:31,280
Okay, we can't have a reading
from that book at our wedding.
83
00:03:31,305 --> 00:03:33,173
Kate Chopin’s words are beautiful
84
00:03:33,207 --> 00:03:35,275
"The voice of the sea speaks to the soul"?
85
00:03:35,309 --> 00:03:37,243
Yeah, well, her main character
ends up killing herself
86
00:03:37,278 --> 00:03:38,378
in that scene. No way.
87
00:03:38,412 --> 00:03:39,446
Okay, well, we can't have
88
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,247
Savage Garden lyrics read
at our wedding either.
89
00:03:41,282 --> 00:03:42,415
What do you have against Savage Garden?
90
00:03:42,450 --> 00:03:44,250
You're trying to be ironic,
and irony doesn't work
91
00:03:44,285 --> 00:03:45,385
with a traditional wedding ceremony.
92
00:03:45,419 --> 00:03:46,619
Okay, we have a problem,
because I don't want
93
00:03:46,646 --> 00:03:48,313
this thing to be a snoozefest.
94
00:03:48,355 --> 00:03:50,156
The ceremony's gotta be... (Snaps fingers)
95
00:03:50,191 --> 00:03:52,085
-Short and sweet. -My vows aren't
even gonna be short and sweet.
96
00:03:52,110 --> 00:03:53,310
- We're writing our own vows?
- (Door closes)
97
00:03:53,335 --> 00:03:55,202
- Are you...
- Hey, guys.
98
00:03:57,364 --> 00:03:59,332
- Everything okay?
- Mm-hmm.
99
00:03:59,366 --> 00:04:01,167
I don't know! Why don't you ask
100
00:04:01,202 --> 00:04:02,302
Mr. Chica Cherry Cola over here.
101
00:04:02,336 --> 00:04:04,237
Okay, I am sorry that Savage Garden
102
00:04:04,271 --> 00:04:06,085
was the seminal band of my youth.
103
00:04:06,110 --> 00:04:09,246
Clearly you guys are under
a lot of wedding stress.
104
00:04:09,648 --> 00:04:12,178
You're curating the ceremony,
arranging the seating charts,
105
00:04:12,213 --> 00:04:13,580
not to mention figuring
out what you're gonna wear.
106
00:04:13,614 --> 00:04:15,315
Hey, at least I got my tux already.
107
00:04:15,349 --> 00:04:17,283
- She still doesn't have a dress.
- Oh my god!
108
00:04:17,318 --> 00:04:18,518
- (Whispers) You don't.
- Whenever I have
109
00:04:18,552 --> 00:04:20,286
an engaged couple come in to see me...
110
00:04:20,321 --> 00:04:22,155
Mom, it's okay. You
don't have to shrink us.
111
00:04:22,189 --> 00:04:24,190
No, no, I'm just... I
wanna provide you guys
112
00:04:24,225 --> 00:04:26,593
with some tools to help
you communicate better.
113
00:04:26,627 --> 00:04:29,429
It's important to learn how
to deal with the smaller issues
114
00:04:29,463 --> 00:04:31,131
before the bigger ones come along.
115
00:04:31,165 --> 00:04:32,332
That way you're prepared.
116
00:04:32,366 --> 00:04:33,500
There's a questionnaire
117
00:04:33,534 --> 00:04:35,468
that was created by some psychologists
118
00:04:35,503 --> 00:04:37,570
to help gain a better
understanding of your partner.
119
00:04:38,140 --> 00:04:40,140
It's called "The Experimental Generation
120
00:04:40,174 --> 00:04:41,750
of Interpersonal Closeness."
121
00:04:42,543 --> 00:04:44,789
You two haven't been together that long.
122
00:04:45,212 --> 00:04:46,372
I'm sure there's some things
123
00:04:46,380 --> 00:04:47,929
you could still learn about one another.
124
00:04:50,451 --> 00:04:51,484
(Chuckles)
125
00:04:55,953 --> 00:04:59,492
- (Both laughing)
- But now I have so many options,
126
00:04:59,527 --> 00:05:01,461
I could wear practically anything.
127
00:05:01,495 --> 00:05:03,329
Yeah, upside to public school.
128
00:05:03,364 --> 00:05:06,199
- It's stressing me out.
- You will be fine.
129
00:05:07,234 --> 00:05:09,269
Yeah, school is school.
130
00:05:09,303 --> 00:05:10,843
Whatever.
131
00:05:11,305 --> 00:05:13,785
I'm glad that we're
having fun tonight, though.
132
00:05:14,902 --> 00:05:16,903
Me too.
133
00:05:17,053 --> 00:05:20,221
Margo! What a coincidence!
134
00:05:20,247 --> 00:05:22,115
Juliet, what are you doing here?
135
00:05:22,149 --> 00:05:25,185
(Sighs) I am pub hopping.
136
00:05:25,219 --> 00:05:27,120
Alone?
137
00:05:27,154 --> 00:05:29,422
Well, who else am I gonna
go with since we broke up?
138
00:05:29,456 --> 00:05:33,426
- Wait, this is your ex?
- Brenna, meet Juliet.
139
00:05:33,460 --> 00:05:37,397
You... have such a youthful glow.
140
00:05:37,431 --> 00:05:40,266
No bags under your eyes. La Mer?
141
00:05:40,301 --> 00:05:43,336
Estee Lauder? La Prairie?
142
00:05:43,370 --> 00:05:46,206
Um, Aveeno, I think.
143
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,175
Juliet is thirsty. Garcon?
144
00:05:49,210 --> 00:05:52,579
Juliet has had enough. I am
going to take her drunk ass home.
145
00:05:52,613 --> 00:05:55,381
-But it's a cute drunk ass, right?
-(Chuckles nervously)
146
00:05:55,416 --> 00:05:59,319
Are we still on for that Nicole
Holofcener movie marathon at the Brattle?
147
00:05:59,353 --> 00:06:00,234
Ooh.
148
00:06:01,322 --> 00:06:04,224
Good. I promise it will
be less distracting.
149
00:06:04,258 --> 00:06:06,993
- Okay, you're good. Yes.
- Mmm. Mmm!
150
00:06:07,027 --> 00:06:09,262
- The best fries.
- Yeah. Come on.
151
00:06:27,156 --> 00:06:28,915
April's voice: As the weeks went by,
152
00:06:28,949 --> 00:06:31,517
so did the grieving for grandma Ida.
153
00:06:32,382 --> 00:06:34,821
The Narragansett sun
peeked through the blinds,
154
00:06:34,855 --> 00:06:37,690
casting an apricot glow around the room
155
00:06:37,725 --> 00:06:40,260
as I got ready for my next trip.
156
00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:49,380
-Hey, sweetie.
-April's voice: As I went to hide my .45,
157
00:06:49,403 --> 00:06:52,105
I remembered... That secret was out.
158
00:06:52,139 --> 00:06:54,459
Why are you bringing a Hollies
record with you on your trip?
159
00:06:55,476 --> 00:06:58,344
A secretary at Langley likes
British rock from the '60s,
160
00:06:58,379 --> 00:07:00,947
so I thought it'd be nice. (Chuckles)
161
00:07:00,981 --> 00:07:02,982
April's voice: The record was for Lisa,
162
00:07:03,017 --> 00:07:04,951
her half-sister she doesn't know about.
163
00:07:04,985 --> 00:07:07,887
It was a material object
to make her feel loved.
164
00:07:07,922 --> 00:07:11,024
Perhaps fretting over my fabrications
was the least of my problems,
165
00:07:11,058 --> 00:07:14,594
since everyone around me
was just so easy to deceive.
166
00:07:14,628 --> 00:07:16,763
So, dad...
167
00:07:16,797 --> 00:07:19,732
Ever since we found out
about you being in the C.I.A.,
168
00:07:19,767 --> 00:07:21,668
I told you, honey, the family's safe.
169
00:07:21,702 --> 00:07:23,870
What happened the other day was
just an isolated thing. It just...
170
00:07:23,904 --> 00:07:25,805
No, it's not about that.
171
00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:28,608
A C.I.A. agent is incredibly noble work,
172
00:07:28,642 --> 00:07:30,476
especially in today's world,
173
00:07:30,511 --> 00:07:32,378
and I want to do it.
174
00:07:32,413 --> 00:07:34,614
I wanna follow in your
footsteps and become a spy.
175
00:07:34,648 --> 00:07:36,449
I've even done some research.
176
00:07:36,483 --> 00:07:38,551
April's voice: I couldn't
believe my daughter's audacity.
177
00:07:38,585 --> 00:07:41,187
Had I inflated her id so tremendously,
178
00:07:41,221 --> 00:07:44,090
she thought she had what it took to be me?
179
00:07:45,259 --> 00:07:48,094
Rose... I just don't
think you have it in you
180
00:07:48,128 --> 00:07:49,408
to do the job that I do, sweetie.
181
00:07:51,131 --> 00:07:53,199
April's voice: Rose's despair was palpable.
182
00:07:53,233 --> 00:07:55,168
Maybe I was too harsh.
183
00:07:57,039 --> 00:07:59,706
There are other jobs
within the organization
184
00:07:59,740 --> 00:08:00,974
that you might be right for,
185
00:08:01,008 --> 00:08:02,775
perhaps an analyst.
186
00:08:02,810 --> 00:08:06,679
It's a desk job, but you'd get
to use that bright brain of yours.
187
00:08:06,714 --> 00:08:09,834
April's voice: I could see the wheels
in Rose's head beginning to turn,
188
00:08:10,085 --> 00:08:11,851
like a train leaving the station,
189
00:08:11,885 --> 00:08:13,453
Bye, sweetie.
190
00:08:13,487 --> 00:08:14,854
April's voice: It was
obvious, in that moment,
191
00:08:14,888 --> 00:08:18,358
Rose was imagining her
life as a C.I.A. Analyst.
192
00:08:18,392 --> 00:08:19,792
Not her dream,
193
00:08:19,827 --> 00:08:21,394
but a job.
194
00:08:51,725 --> 00:08:53,726
-Oh.
-Now you see what I'm dealing with?
195
00:08:53,761 --> 00:08:56,763
You know what they say about
a guy with a giant pet snake?
196
00:08:56,797 --> 00:08:59,532
- He's a loser.
- Oh, well, they're all losers.
197
00:08:59,566 --> 00:09:03,469
-Who are all losers?
-Oh, the men I've met on this dating app.
198
00:09:03,504 --> 00:09:06,706
The other night I had a date with a
guy who was a Paul Revere living statue.
199
00:09:06,740 --> 00:09:09,542
He came straight from
work. Think about that.
200
00:09:09,576 --> 00:09:11,644
Are you sure it's not a big deal
that Graham's coming to the wedding?
201
00:09:11,678 --> 00:09:15,381
What? No! (Laughs)
202
00:09:15,416 --> 00:09:18,518
I know you said you're okay that
Dominic's bringing Mrs. plus-one, but...
203
00:09:18,552 --> 00:09:21,320
Hey, I am totally fine with it, okay?
204
00:09:21,355 --> 00:09:24,057
That being said, it wouldn't
hurt to have a hot guy...
205
00:09:24,091 --> 00:09:25,425
Preferably one who's not a serial killer...
206
00:09:25,459 --> 00:09:28,161
On my arm to show that warby-Parker
bespectacled pescatarian
207
00:09:28,195 --> 00:09:29,962
that I have moved on.
208
00:09:29,997 --> 00:09:33,266
Sara: I knew there was a reason
I saved this all these years!
209
00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:36,002
Okay, so, we were thinking
210
00:09:36,036 --> 00:09:37,804
that since you're still dress-less,
211
00:09:37,838 --> 00:09:39,872
maybe you could wear this.
212
00:09:39,907 --> 00:09:42,247
Beth said she might be
able to do some alterations.
213
00:09:43,283 --> 00:09:45,084
And...
214
00:09:46,629 --> 00:09:49,682
Oh Gah... I had no idea.
215
00:09:49,716 --> 00:09:53,553
Wow. Oh. Mom, it's...
216
00:09:53,587 --> 00:09:56,389
Wow. Wow.
217
00:09:56,423 --> 00:09:57,630
Not too dated, right?
218
00:09:57,655 --> 00:10:00,560
That dress is the worst
thing I have ever seen,
219
00:10:00,594 --> 00:10:04,330
- and you were a c-section.
- I'm officially in panic mode.
220
00:10:04,364 --> 00:10:06,165
Well, there's still my dress.
221
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,401
Mom, if my dress from
the '80s isn't gonna work,
222
00:10:08,435 --> 00:10:10,369
I hardly think yours is any better.
223
00:10:10,404 --> 00:10:12,105
Hey, hey, hey, wait, wait, wait.
224
00:10:12,139 --> 00:10:14,073
I'm sure that I can work my magic...
225
00:10:14,108 --> 00:10:16,075
- Yeah.
- And turn it into something
226
00:10:16,110 --> 00:10:18,077
a little... less retro.
227
00:10:18,112 --> 00:10:19,352
Let me help you down the stairs,
228
00:10:19,379 --> 00:10:22,849
- because death by this dress...
- Okay.
229
00:10:22,883 --> 00:10:25,751
Would be tragic on so many levels.
230
00:10:28,088 --> 00:10:31,090
So, I'm guessing you don't
want the matching hat.
231
00:10:31,125 --> 00:10:33,926
(Laughs) Wait, mom.
232
00:10:33,961 --> 00:10:35,862
I know we've already
sent out the invitations,
233
00:10:35,896 --> 00:10:39,765
but I realized we didn't
invite any of dad's old friends.
234
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,760
Do you think he'd want
any of them at the wedding?
235
00:10:41,768 --> 00:10:44,871
Hmm. Neil, his roommate at Hampshire.
236
00:10:44,905 --> 00:10:46,772
I guess I could dig up
his address somewhere.
237
00:10:46,807 --> 00:10:49,475
Or, like, Edwin Shaw.
238
00:10:49,510 --> 00:10:51,377
I haven't heard that name in a long time.
239
00:10:51,411 --> 00:10:53,179
I have no idea where he is.
240
00:10:53,213 --> 00:10:54,447
It's like he fell off
the face of the planet.
241
00:10:54,481 --> 00:10:55,581
I even tried to get in touch with him
242
00:10:55,616 --> 00:10:57,942
about your dad's funeral.
I never heard back.
243
00:10:58,575 --> 00:11:00,419
It's a real shame.
244
00:11:05,058 --> 00:11:07,093
Edwin D. Shaw.
245
00:11:18,269 --> 00:11:21,771
So, you want to tackle this questionnaire?
246
00:11:24,611 --> 00:11:27,747
What if we went away
to answer the questions?
247
00:11:27,781 --> 00:11:32,451
- A change of scenery might be nice.
- Well, I do love hotels,
248
00:11:32,486 --> 00:11:35,555
and all the things that
you can do in those hotels.
249
00:11:35,589 --> 00:11:38,524
- (Chuckles) I mean sex.
- Oh. (Chuckles)
250
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,328
Well, I've always wanted to stay
at the Federal in Providence.
251
00:11:42,362 --> 00:11:45,131
Well, looks like we're going
to get intimate at the Federal.
252
00:11:45,165 --> 00:11:48,334
- Hmm! You mean sex?
- Mm-hmm. Mmm.
253
00:12:04,731 --> 00:12:07,362
Are you the girl that just
transferred from Charton?
254
00:12:07,387 --> 00:12:11,644
-Umm, yeah.
-I can't even... That is beyond amazing.
255
00:12:11,669 --> 00:12:13,801
I'm obsessed with private school culture.
256
00:12:13,826 --> 00:12:17,117
Guys wearing ties to school, it's so hot.
257
00:12:17,142 --> 00:12:18,408
I'm Sydney.
258
00:12:21,412 --> 00:12:24,248
The sick kid? His name's Finn.
259
00:12:24,282 --> 00:12:27,184
He has cancer and only one leg.
260
00:12:27,218 --> 00:12:29,186
Isn't that like the saddest thing ever?
261
00:12:29,220 --> 00:12:31,989
He's only here part-time,
because he's still so sick,
262
00:12:32,023 --> 00:12:35,058
and I hear that he has to wear
that face mask at all times,
263
00:12:35,093 --> 00:12:37,053
which I'm so confused by. I mean, they
264
00:12:37,078 --> 00:12:39,343
didn't wear masks in
"The Fault in our Stars".
265
00:12:40,098 --> 00:12:42,559
- Right.
- So I have a Harper's Bazaar.
266
00:12:42,584 --> 00:12:45,219
I subscribe. Do you want to sit
together and go through it with me?
267
00:12:45,244 --> 00:12:47,445
Cut out some stuff for our vision board?
268
00:12:47,470 --> 00:12:48,750
No thanks.
269
00:12:56,735 --> 00:12:58,536
(Cell phone clicking)
270
00:13:05,252 --> 00:13:06,953
(Cell phone buzzes)
271
00:13:18,129 --> 00:13:21,012
- How long have we been doing this?
- Shh! It's been like one minute.
272
00:13:21,037 --> 00:13:23,917
That's it? I thought we were just
supposed to be answering questions.
273
00:13:23,942 --> 00:13:26,777
Well, they also suggest keeping
eye contact for four minutes
274
00:13:26,811 --> 00:13:29,301
to improve intimacy. I
don't know. It's weird.
275
00:13:29,326 --> 00:13:30,924
- Let's just do the questions.
- Oh, thank god.
276
00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:32,739
Okay, let's see. Um...
277
00:13:33,024 --> 00:13:35,926
"Do you have a secret hunch
about how you will die?"
278
00:13:36,179 --> 00:13:39,114
Really? Wow. Well, this is gonna be...
279
00:13:39,328 --> 00:13:41,768
A bit of a stretch,
280
00:13:41,793 --> 00:13:43,364
- so bear with me here.
- Okay.
281
00:13:43,389 --> 00:13:45,556
- Cancer.
- All right, your turn.
282
00:13:45,581 --> 00:13:48,016
(Both clear throat)
283
00:13:48,041 --> 00:13:50,075
"Would you like to be famous? In what way?"
284
00:13:50,335 --> 00:13:53,570
Excuse me, I already am famous, okay?
285
00:13:53,605 --> 00:13:55,405
I seized on local television.
286
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,376
I was a widely tweeted
gif. I trended nationwide.
287
00:13:59,410 --> 00:14:02,528
You know, it's a miracle
I am still so humble.
288
00:14:02,553 --> 00:14:04,554
- (Clears throat)
- (Laughs)
289
00:14:04,579 --> 00:14:06,629
Maybe we should take this
a little more seriously.
290
00:14:06,654 --> 00:14:08,455
- Okay.
- Okay.
291
00:14:09,654 --> 00:14:11,889
"What is your most terrible memory?"
292
00:14:12,290 --> 00:14:16,093
- And it can't be cancer-related.
- Ooh, game changer.
293
00:14:16,127 --> 00:14:18,607
I like that. Let me think about it.
294
00:14:20,555 --> 00:14:23,159
Okay, there was this one time at Exeter,
295
00:14:23,184 --> 00:14:27,871
I missed curfew, and the Dean made
me clean the junior boys' bathroom.
296
00:14:29,512 --> 00:14:32,442
- Yeah.
- That's your most terrible memory?
297
00:14:32,477 --> 00:14:34,578
16-year-old boys are disgusting.
298
00:14:34,612 --> 00:14:36,647
- Do you want to know the amount of raw...
- No no, no no.
299
00:14:36,681 --> 00:14:37,681
- Let's move
on. - Mm-hmm.
300
00:14:37,682 --> 00:14:39,036
- Here you go.
- Okay.
301
00:14:39,061 --> 00:14:41,541
Let's see here. (Clears throat)
302
00:14:42,002 --> 00:14:44,804
"Is there something you've
dreamed of doing for a long time?
303
00:14:45,081 --> 00:14:46,361
"Why haven't you done it?"
304
00:14:51,138 --> 00:14:55,642
I've dreamed of having sex with my
fiancee ever since we got off I-95.
305
00:14:55,676 --> 00:14:57,263
And why haven't you done it?
306
00:14:57,288 --> 00:14:59,823
- I have no idea.
- Oh my god.
307
00:15:02,783 --> 00:15:04,717
- April: So many pillows!
- (Leo laughs)
308
00:15:07,755 --> 00:15:09,622
(April laughs) No...
309
00:15:09,657 --> 00:15:11,624
- Hoo!
- (Laughs)
310
00:15:11,659 --> 00:15:13,593
That was a much better use of four minutes.
311
00:15:13,627 --> 00:15:15,428
- Four?
- Mm-hmm.
312
00:15:15,462 --> 00:15:18,398
Rude! That was at least five.
313
00:15:18,432 --> 00:15:20,747
(Clears throat) Mwah!
314
00:15:21,101 --> 00:15:23,202
- (Sighs)
- So, any other questions?
315
00:15:25,472 --> 00:15:27,040
- Can we get back to that later?
-Mm-hmm.
316
00:15:27,074 --> 00:15:30,194
I really want to check out the Mike Kelley
exhibit at the Risd Museum for a bit.
317
00:15:30,210 --> 00:15:32,864
I know you don't like seeing
stuffed animals as art, so...
318
00:15:32,895 --> 00:15:36,831
Yuck. Have fun. I think I'm
gonna get a burger at Harry's.
319
00:15:36,984 --> 00:15:39,852
I went there a lot when I did
my pre-college program at Brown.
320
00:15:39,887 --> 00:15:40,887
- And, yes...
- What?
321
00:15:40,921 --> 00:15:43,022
I did a pre-college program at Brown.
322
00:15:43,364 --> 00:15:45,614
Okay. I'm gonna get ready.
323
00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:48,119
Oh! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
324
00:15:59,332 --> 00:16:00,892
Excuse me. Mr. Shaw?
325
00:16:01,642 --> 00:16:03,676
You are three minutes late.
326
00:16:03,711 --> 00:16:06,512
I hate latecomers. Take a seat.
327
00:16:06,547 --> 00:16:09,382
I'm sorry. I'm... Isabelle,
328
00:16:09,416 --> 00:16:12,251
and I wanted to ask you a few
quick questions about your process.
329
00:16:12,286 --> 00:16:15,288
Well, the seminar's about to begin
and I don't offer one-on-one time.
330
00:16:16,590 --> 00:16:18,926
But for you, I could make an exception.
331
00:16:19,637 --> 00:16:22,128
Hotel bar, say, seven o'clock?
332
00:16:22,162 --> 00:16:23,329
- Great.
- (Chuckles)
333
00:16:23,363 --> 00:16:25,398
- Thank you.
- Yes. You're not staying?
334
00:16:27,267 --> 00:16:29,235
Hello, hello, everyone, and welcome.
335
00:16:29,269 --> 00:16:32,839
(Clears throat) And now to
begin, I would like to talk
336
00:16:32,873 --> 00:16:36,809
about E.M. Forster whose famous
words were "only connect."
337
00:16:36,844 --> 00:16:38,978
That's what we do as writers, we connect.
338
00:16:39,012 --> 00:16:41,814
And how do we do that? By sharing secrets.
339
00:16:41,849 --> 00:16:44,917
We open our veins and let
the blood pour onto the page.
340
00:16:52,450 --> 00:16:56,729
- Sara? Is that you?
- Oh my gosh!
341
00:16:56,764 --> 00:16:59,699
- Billy Conti! God!
- (Laughs)
342
00:16:59,733 --> 00:17:03,536
-Van Buren High School. How are you?
-Oh! My god.
343
00:17:03,570 --> 00:17:08,274
- What has it been, 30 years?
- No, don't... don't remind me.
344
00:17:08,308 --> 00:17:13,346
Nobody calls me Billy. William. I
haven't been called Billy since...
345
00:17:13,848 --> 00:17:16,249
- I came out in college.
- You're gay.
346
00:17:16,283 --> 00:17:18,885
- Very.
- I probably should've known.
347
00:17:18,919 --> 00:17:20,052
I thought you knew.
348
00:17:20,077 --> 00:17:22,855
Well, we went to, what,
five ABBA concerts.
349
00:17:22,890 --> 00:17:24,490
- I love ABBA.
- I know.
350
00:17:25,125 --> 00:17:28,060
So, tell me... What's going on with you?
351
00:17:28,095 --> 00:17:31,063
I'm the head creative director
at my graphic design firm.
352
00:17:31,098 --> 00:17:35,568
My son graduated from Northwestern in June.
353
00:17:35,602 --> 00:17:38,905
I just got back from a
safari in South Africa.
354
00:17:38,939 --> 00:17:41,841
So, how about... How about you?
355
00:17:41,875 --> 00:17:43,676
Things are wonderful. Really.
356
00:17:43,879 --> 00:17:48,247
My older daughter is getting
married in a few weeks
357
00:17:48,282 --> 00:17:51,184
-to Leo Hendrie, Bruce's son.
-Wow.
358
00:17:51,218 --> 00:17:54,320
And my younger daughter just
finished her first short film.
359
00:17:54,354 --> 00:17:57,323
That's great you... mmm!
You have it all figured out.
360
00:17:57,357 --> 00:18:00,092
- It's so great to see you.
- I'm sorry. (Chuckles)
361
00:18:00,127 --> 00:18:02,228
I... I don't want to lie to you,
362
00:18:02,262 --> 00:18:06,232
but my older daughter is getting married,
but it's only because she has leukemia,
363
00:18:06,266 --> 00:18:08,935
and my younger daughter, I just
had to put her into public school,
364
00:18:08,969 --> 00:18:11,250
because I just had to concede
that I cannot afford private.
365
00:18:11,271 --> 00:18:13,773
Oh, and my husband died,
366
00:18:13,807 --> 00:18:15,241
and I found out, crazily enough,
367
00:18:15,275 --> 00:18:18,995
after he passed away that he has a
secret family living down in Florida.
368
00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:21,981
You know what? Sorry to have
unloaded that on you, Billy...
369
00:18:22,015 --> 00:18:25,818
-William.
-No, no, no, no. That's... that's...
370
00:18:26,854 --> 00:18:31,791
Wow. (Clears throat) I
may have exaggerated...
371
00:18:31,825 --> 00:18:34,493
A bit. I...
372
00:18:34,528 --> 00:18:39,565
I just went on safari, because
my divorce was recently finalized.
373
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,303
My husband left me for
a 20-year-old twink.
374
00:18:44,463 --> 00:18:46,130
You know?
375
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,374
- Oh.
- (Chuckles)
376
00:18:48,408 --> 00:18:49,942
- So...
- I know.
377
00:18:49,977 --> 00:18:52,111
- I suppose life can be a bitch, huh?
- Yeah.
378
00:18:52,145 --> 00:18:54,313
Well, especially when that bitch
379
00:18:54,348 --> 00:18:58,184
is a hairless young man named
Tristan who was born in the 1990s.
380
00:18:58,218 --> 00:18:59,852
- Oh no.
- Yeah. (Laughs)
381
00:18:59,887 --> 00:19:01,447
- (Laughs)
- (Mutters)
382
00:19:03,757 --> 00:19:06,692
- Well, can we catch up some more?
- Yes, yes! Yes!
383
00:19:06,727 --> 00:19:09,662
- What are you doing tonight?
- Oh! Actually, tonight,
384
00:19:09,696 --> 00:19:11,831
my gay men's running club
is having a meet-up here,
385
00:19:11,865 --> 00:19:14,533
but you should come. No, no,
you should come, you should come.
386
00:19:14,568 --> 00:19:16,836
It's so much more fun... than it sounds.
387
00:19:16,870 --> 00:19:19,472
Every get-together ends
in an ABBA sing-along.
388
00:19:19,506 --> 00:19:20,673
- Really?
- Yes.
389
00:19:20,707 --> 00:19:22,808
Okay. Well, some things never change.
390
00:19:22,843 --> 00:19:24,577
No. Let's exchange...
391
00:19:24,611 --> 00:19:27,413
- Yeah, yeah, okay.
- Yeah. Here, I've got...
392
00:19:28,270 --> 00:19:30,271
Do you... Do you bump?
393
00:19:30,578 --> 00:19:32,479
- Uh, let's see.
- Here.
394
00:19:33,453 --> 00:19:34,587
- No.
- No, you don't bump. Okay.
395
00:19:34,862 --> 00:19:36,563
(Lock beeping)
396
00:19:39,144 --> 00:19:42,094
Hey! How... How was your burger?
397
00:19:42,129 --> 00:19:43,296
Awesome.
398
00:19:43,330 --> 00:19:45,197
But you know, what wasn't awesome was
399
00:19:45,232 --> 00:19:48,234
going to the Risd Museum to
find you, and you weren't there.
400
00:19:48,268 --> 00:19:53,261
- Where were you? - Can we just go
inside first? Do you have your card?
401
00:19:54,908 --> 00:19:59,078
Okay. Natalie found this unpublished
manuscript that our dad wrote,
402
00:19:59,112 --> 00:20:03,330
and it's basically a thinly veiled
fictional version of our family.
403
00:20:03,355 --> 00:20:04,750
At first I thought she was crazy,
404
00:20:04,785 --> 00:20:09,455
but then I read it, and there are actual
moments from my life dramatized in it.
405
00:20:09,489 --> 00:20:11,557
What does this have to do with
you not being at the museum?
406
00:20:11,591 --> 00:20:14,727
Well, the friend who was giving
my dad notes on the manuscript
407
00:20:14,761 --> 00:20:18,198
is teaching a seminar here, and I thought
I could ask him a couple of questions.
408
00:20:18,223 --> 00:20:21,176
But when I went to talk to him, I couldn't
get any face time, so I have to meet him
409
00:20:21,201 --> 00:20:23,269
- at the hotel bar later.
- Okay, so our trip to Providence
410
00:20:23,303 --> 00:20:27,306
is actually about you trying to track
down one of your dad's old friends?
411
00:20:27,341 --> 00:20:29,508
Look, this book... There is
a part that is exactly like
412
00:20:29,543 --> 00:20:32,411
the time that I told my dad I wanted
to be a novelist just like he was,
413
00:20:32,446 --> 00:20:34,855
and instead he suggested
I go into journalism.
414
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,782
You think your dad's old
friend can tell you... ?
415
00:20:37,930 --> 00:20:39,797
I don't know. With the wedding coming up,
416
00:20:39,822 --> 00:20:41,690
I've been thinking a
lot about my dad lately,
417
00:20:41,715 --> 00:20:43,883
and reading this book has
been really eye-opening.
418
00:20:43,908 --> 00:20:47,923
The narrator is this
narcissistic anti-hero,
419
00:20:47,948 --> 00:20:50,730
but he's also a lot like
my dad, so now I'm like,
420
00:20:50,764 --> 00:20:53,632
was my dad this bad in real
life as this narrator is?
421
00:20:53,667 --> 00:20:55,701
And if that one scene was
ripped directly from my life,
422
00:20:55,736 --> 00:20:56,936
is everything else in the book true?
423
00:20:56,970 --> 00:20:59,839
Did my dad plan his
own death? Was he a spy?
424
00:21:00,230 --> 00:21:01,816
I have no idea!
425
00:21:02,642 --> 00:21:05,478
- I'm sorry.
- Why didn't you just tell me that?
426
00:21:05,512 --> 00:21:09,128
We're getting married. We're supposed
to be able to talk to each other.
427
00:21:09,716 --> 00:21:13,486
I didn't want to burden you
with my crazy family stuff.
428
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,628
But your family stuff is
gonna be my family stuff.
429
00:21:17,248 --> 00:21:20,126
And while I might not understand
everything about marriage,
430
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,429
I think you're supposed to be able
to tell anything to your spouse,
431
00:21:23,917 --> 00:21:25,431
which is obviously...
432
00:21:25,925 --> 00:21:28,067
Something that we're
not good at, because...
433
00:21:28,277 --> 00:21:30,136
- I mean, come on, us trying to...
- (Elevator dings)
434
00:21:30,170 --> 00:21:32,204
Take that questionnaire
seriously was a disaster.
435
00:21:32,239 --> 00:21:34,173
Okay, you can't just
blame me for that, though.
436
00:21:34,207 --> 00:21:36,008
You couldn't even answer
what your greatest dream is.
437
00:21:36,043 --> 00:21:38,589
- I thought we were a couple who shares.
- (Shouts) Like you...
438
00:21:40,847 --> 00:21:43,582
Like you honestly shared with
me your most terrible memory?
439
00:21:43,617 --> 00:21:45,818
- Hey, I told you exactly...
- Oh, please, I don't believe that.
440
00:21:45,852 --> 00:21:47,047
There has to be something...
441
00:21:47,072 --> 00:21:49,781
Okay, fine! You want to know what my
most terrible memory is?
442
00:21:50,198 --> 00:21:53,659
It's the time I got super drunk and
slept with my best friend's girlfriend.
443
00:21:55,508 --> 00:21:56,508
Happy?
444
00:21:57,495 --> 00:21:59,732
- Where are you going?
- Last time I checked,
445
00:21:59,766 --> 00:22:01,636
we don't have to tell
each other everything.
446
00:22:10,308 --> 00:22:11,374
To alter it,
447
00:22:11,409 --> 00:22:15,136
but it's just too... nice.
448
00:22:16,238 --> 00:22:18,139
It was very trendy in the '80s,
449
00:22:18,167 --> 00:22:19,300
but I guess you had to be there.
450
00:22:19,334 --> 00:22:21,335
Don't even get me started
on the shoulder pads.
451
00:22:21,370 --> 00:22:24,872
I mean, what kind of a psychopath
thought that that was a good idea?
452
00:22:24,907 --> 00:22:27,041
I'm sorry my dress made you so angry.
453
00:22:27,075 --> 00:22:30,878
It's not just about the dress. I mean...
454
00:22:30,913 --> 00:22:34,015
Just... I'm never gonna find
a date to April's wedding.
455
00:22:34,049 --> 00:22:36,017
Oh. Well, if it's any consolation,
456
00:22:36,051 --> 00:22:37,952
I'm going solo to the wedding, too.
457
00:22:37,986 --> 00:22:40,821
I'm so tired of all these awful dates
458
00:22:40,856 --> 00:22:42,557
with all these awful men!
459
00:22:42,591 --> 00:22:44,800
That's it. I give up.
460
00:22:45,995 --> 00:22:48,696
Or maybe you just need a
night off from being on.
461
00:22:48,730 --> 00:22:51,632
I'm heading over to the
Charles in a little bit.
462
00:22:51,667 --> 00:22:53,668
I ran into an old friend.
He invited me to...
463
00:22:53,702 --> 00:22:57,471
- I'm over guys.
- No, no, he's gay.
464
00:22:57,506 --> 00:23:01,226
They're all gay. It's a gay
men's running club meet-up.
465
00:23:03,027 --> 00:23:05,146
Well, I am somewhat of a gay icon.
466
00:23:05,597 --> 00:23:07,481
Okay. Yeah, let's do it.
467
00:23:07,516 --> 00:23:10,284
(Gasps) High five for us
not having to shave our legs.
468
00:23:10,319 --> 00:23:13,254
- (Laughs)
- Yes. Great. Oh my god!
469
00:23:14,957 --> 00:23:16,357
(Women laughing)
470
00:23:16,398 --> 00:23:19,100
I wanna be Catherine Keener when I grow up.
471
00:23:19,127 --> 00:23:20,861
Oh man, totally.
472
00:23:20,896 --> 00:23:22,863
She is the best actress in the world,
473
00:23:22,898 --> 00:23:25,132
and so amazing in all of Nicole's movies.
474
00:23:25,167 --> 00:23:27,104
It's like she's her muse.
475
00:23:27,129 --> 00:23:29,063
Every good artist needs one.
476
00:23:32,667 --> 00:23:35,476
So, how was Juliet?
477
00:23:35,510 --> 00:23:37,745
She's a drama queen,
478
00:23:38,159 --> 00:23:40,105
but let's not talk about her.
479
00:23:40,417 --> 00:23:42,316
Tonight is about you and me.
480
00:23:42,351 --> 00:23:45,353
And again, I am sorry we
couldn't go back to my place.
481
00:23:45,387 --> 00:23:47,488
My lazy landlord is finally fumigating.
482
00:23:47,522 --> 00:23:51,158
It's okay. I just hope that
my mom doesn't come home.
483
00:23:51,527 --> 00:23:53,908
Or actually, maybe I kind of do.
484
00:23:53,933 --> 00:23:56,063
Me on a date
with a 23-year-old
485
00:23:56,098 --> 00:23:59,612
would so freak her out, and I'm
kind of in the mood to freak her out.
486
00:24:05,207 --> 00:24:07,308
- (Knocks on door)
- (Gasps) Oh my god.
487
00:24:07,342 --> 00:24:09,844
What if that's my mom?
What if she left her keys?
488
00:24:09,878 --> 00:24:11,718
- Hide!
- I thought you didn't care.
489
00:24:16,985 --> 00:24:19,572
Brenna, sweetie, hi.
490
00:24:19,597 --> 00:24:22,590
- Uh...
- Really, Juliet?
491
00:24:22,624 --> 00:24:25,526
How did you know that Margo... ?
492
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,462
We still follow each other
on Place My Pals, obviously.
493
00:24:28,497 --> 00:24:31,599
And Gertrude wanted to see
her mommy. So can we come in?
494
00:24:31,633 --> 00:24:33,634
Look at this place, huh? Hi.
495
00:24:39,641 --> 00:24:43,411
- Mr. Shaw?
- Ah. Isabelle, yes?
496
00:24:43,445 --> 00:24:47,148
Um, scotch for the lady,
please. I hope that's okay.
497
00:24:47,182 --> 00:24:49,083
Yeah. Mmm, scotch.
498
00:24:50,218 --> 00:24:53,054
- (Sighs)
- So, the assignment that you gave to us
499
00:24:53,088 --> 00:24:56,290
in the seminar this afternoon,
I found it so interesting...
500
00:24:56,325 --> 00:24:59,827
Writing a story, any genre,
about losing your keys.
501
00:24:59,861 --> 00:25:00,861
- (Chuckles)
- I loved it.
502
00:25:00,896 --> 00:25:02,096
And I can't wait to read it.
503
00:25:02,130 --> 00:25:03,931
I have to admit... I'm starstruck.
504
00:25:03,965 --> 00:25:05,866
I'm so fascinated by your entire history...
505
00:25:05,901 --> 00:25:09,770
Growing up on a farm in Maine, paying
your way through college at Bates,
506
00:25:09,805 --> 00:25:11,839
and, as an aspiring writer myself,
507
00:25:11,873 --> 00:25:13,953
how you held workshops with
your other writer friends
508
00:25:13,975 --> 00:25:15,843
- to help edit each other.
- Ah yes,
509
00:25:15,877 --> 00:25:17,778
our very own Bloomsbury group.
510
00:25:17,813 --> 00:25:20,581
(Scoffs) Those were the good old days...
511
00:25:20,615 --> 00:25:23,651
Before ego and book sales
intruded upon the fun.
512
00:25:23,685 --> 00:25:25,786
What impressive company, I mean,
513
00:25:25,821 --> 00:25:28,823
- you and Thomas Carver.
- (Sighs)
514
00:25:28,857 --> 00:25:31,359
Not to speak ill of the
dead, but Thomas Carver?
515
00:25:31,393 --> 00:25:34,759
-(Laughs) What an ass.
-I thought you two were good friends.
516
00:25:34,784 --> 00:25:37,131
Oh, well, once upon a time.
517
00:25:37,165 --> 00:25:39,266
Thomas and I had edited
all of each other's writing
518
00:25:39,301 --> 00:25:42,136
since we first met at
the Tam in the '80s...
519
00:25:42,170 --> 00:25:44,472
When we were both starting our careers.
520
00:25:44,506 --> 00:25:47,341
Yes, we were best friends. (Humphs)
521
00:25:47,376 --> 00:25:50,111
But the guy was shady.
522
00:25:50,145 --> 00:25:53,180
Get this. Thomas had two families...
523
00:25:53,215 --> 00:25:56,150
A legitimate one in Boston,
a secret one in Florida
524
00:25:56,184 --> 00:25:57,985
his wife didn't even know about.
525
00:25:58,019 --> 00:26:00,628
Huh? And it gets worse.
526
00:26:01,269 --> 00:26:05,626
The year before he died,
he went full-on Hemingway.
527
00:26:05,660 --> 00:26:07,561
- Thomas Carver?
- Yes!
528
00:26:07,596 --> 00:26:09,497
I didn't see much of him,
thank god, but when I did,
529
00:26:09,531 --> 00:26:11,866
he was blowing money,
drinking, painkillers.
530
00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:14,702
The guy had demons even I find dark.
531
00:26:14,736 --> 00:26:17,538
I'm sorry. Just excuse me for one second.
532
00:26:17,572 --> 00:26:19,222
No. Yes, of course. Take your time.
533

that wasn't because
you thought she was hot?
579
00:29:06,643 --> 00:29:11,080
Oh god! No, no, I just
loved her feathered hair.
580
00:29:11,114 --> 00:29:13,415
- It was so chic.
- (Laughs)
581
00:29:14,818 --> 00:29:17,419
You really were, probably, one
of the best boyfriends I ever had.
582
00:29:17,454 --> 00:29:19,730
No, you were very respectful.
583
00:29:19,755 --> 00:29:21,156
That's because... No offense...
584
00:29:21,191 --> 00:29:24,676
I was never interested in
all that, you know, stuff.
585
00:29:26,619 --> 00:29:28,820
- Okay!
- I mean...
586
00:29:30,728 --> 00:29:33,208
Wow. It's so good to get out of the house.
587
00:29:33,855 --> 00:29:36,644
The past few months have just been...
588
00:29:36,660 --> 00:29:38,461
Well, I... I already told you.
589
00:29:38,495 --> 00:29:39,662
- (Chuckles)
- You know what, though?
590
00:29:39,696 --> 00:29:42,498
I can't help but imagine that
it's only going to get harder.
591
00:29:42,532 --> 00:29:44,600
One daughter getting
married and leaving home,
592
00:29:44,634 --> 00:29:46,834
and then the other one
graduating from high school and...
593
00:29:48,038 --> 00:29:52,541
Even my 75-year-old mother has a
boyfriend, and that bridge club.
594
00:29:52,576 --> 00:29:55,277
Emma? Worship her.
595
00:29:55,312 --> 00:29:57,379
You know what? I went
through a similar thing
596
00:29:57,414 --> 00:30:00,549
when my son went to
college. It was as if...
597
00:30:00,584 --> 00:30:03,119
I was entering a whole new phase of my life
598
00:30:03,153 --> 00:30:06,255
where my kid wasn't the
center of my every breath.
599
00:30:06,289 --> 00:30:09,959
I was... I felt lost.
600
00:30:09,993 --> 00:30:14,130
Fortunately, my neighbor, Robert,
introduced me to the running club.
601
00:30:14,164 --> 00:30:17,933
Now, I have a life that's
not just about being a dad.
602
00:30:17,968 --> 00:30:20,269
It's weird, but it's
also... It's gratifying.

Oh, Nick and your commitment issues.
607
00:30:33,550 --> 00:30:35,951
And now, I'd like to call up the bride
608
00:30:35,986 --> 00:30:37,753
to dance with her father.
609
00:30:37,787 --> 00:30:40,489
(Cheering)
610
00:30:49,266 --> 00:30:50,546
Are you okay?
611
00:30:51,769 --> 00:30:57,173
I... hate that I'm sad that
my dad won't be at my wedding,
612
00:30:57,278 --> 00:31:00,313
that... he won't walk
me down the aisle, and...
613
00:31:01,957 --> 00:31:04,346
I'll never have a father-daughter dance.
614
00:31:08,351 --> 00:31:12,922
(Sighs) Mostly I hate that even after
everything that I found out about him,
615
00:31:14,024 --> 00:31:15,224
I still love him.
616
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,880
Leo: Well, that's... Because
he'll always be your dad.
617
00:31:21,998 --> 00:31:23,999
It was better not to know everything.
618

(Crying)
619
00:31:24,951 --> 00:31:27,627
Well, you should know
as much as you want.
620
00:31:28,772 --> 00:31:30,940
But when it comes to the
two of us, it's different.
621
00:31:30,974 --> 00:31:34,510
We should get to know
everything about each other.
622
00:31:35,645 --> 00:31:37,680
I've done some crappy things in my life,
623
00:31:37,714 --> 00:31:39,748
like sleeping with my
best friend's girlfriend,
624
00:31:39,783 --> 00:31:42,785
which I might've only done
because I thought I was gonna die,
625
00:31:42,819 --> 00:31:46,455
but I still did it.
That's a part of who I am.
626
00:31:47,691 --> 00:31:51,411
I want you to know all that
stuff, the good and the bad.
627
00:31:52,329 --> 00:31:54,496
I want that, too. I do.
628
00:31:54,531 --> 00:31:58,100
It's just so hard to
be open about everything
629
00:31:58,134 --> 00:32:00,269
when I'm just finding
out about my dad's lies.
630
00:32:00,303 --> 00:32:02,104
I get that.
631
00:32:03,373 --> 00:32:06,909
Maybe I need to come to
terms with who he really was,
632
00:32:06,943 --> 00:32:09,011
and I'm... I'm letting him hold me back
633
00:32:09,045 --> 00:32:12,047
from living my life, and
that's no way to live.

abroad in Melbourne for six months.

00:33:48,886 --> 00:33:50,853
Have you gone insane? It's like
you've had a brain transplant.
670
00:33:50,888 --> 00:33:52,155
I don't even know you
anymore. I need some tea.
671
00:33:52,189 --> 00:33:54,090
Can I get some tea in this house, please?
672
00:33:54,124 --> 00:33:56,793
My mom usually keeps it in here.
673
00:33:56,827 --> 00:33:59,595
-Your mom? Does she live here, too?
-Yeah.
674
00:34:00,273 --> 00:34:01,959
- How old are you?
- How old are you?
675
00:34:01,984 --> 00:34:04,377
- Brenna is 17.
- What?
676
00:34:04,656 --> 00:34:07,146
You're dating a 17-year-old?
677
00:34:07,180 --> 00:34:10,943
Is this real life? What's next? Are
you gonna get a white van, sicko?
678
00:34:10,968 --> 00:34:13,452
-Yeah.
-No wonder you always come home so giddy
679
00:34:13,487 --> 00:34:16,022
after you advise at that private school.
680
00:34:16,056 --> 00:34:19,058
- Wait. You go home to her?
- Well, of course.
681
00:34:19,092 --> 00:34:21,127
We still live together.
682
00:34:21,567 --> 00:34:23,206
So, you're not fumigating.
683
00:34:23,231 --> 00:34:25,798
No, but I'm looking for a
new apartment, I swear.
684
00:34:25,832 --> 00:34:27,833
It's just that Gertrude is still my dog.
685
00:34:27,868 --> 00:34:29,935
Didn't you say that it's better
to be with someone your own age?
686
00:34:29,970 --> 00:34:33,326
- What's up with you dating a 40-year-old?
- Okay. You can't help
687
00:34:33,351 --> 00:34:35,808
who you fall in love with, and unlike you,
688
00:34:35,842 --> 00:34:38,744
- I am actually legal.
- (Scoffs)
689
00:34:38,779 --> 00:34:42,481
Look, Brenna... Juliet
is still my best friend,
690
00:34:42,516 --> 00:34:45,918
and I still care about her.
I will always care about her.
691
00:34:46,570 --> 00:34:48,046
Thank you, Margo.
692
00:34:48,859 --> 00:34:50,562
That actually means a lot. I...
693
00:34:51,563 --> 00:34:52,843
You're my best friend, too.
694
00:34:58,746 --> 00:35:01,515
Margo, it's over.
695
00:35:02,447 --> 00:35:06,316
You guys need to get out
of my house, right now.
696
00:35:10,694 --> 00:35:12,814
- Gertrude, let's go. (Claps)
- (Gertrude whines)
697
00:35:15,655 --> 00:35:16,655
Yes, may I help you?
698
00:35:17,618 --> 00:35:20,520
I'm April Carver, Thomas's daughter.
699
00:35:21,921 --> 00:35:24,290
Oh god. (Sighs)
700
00:35:24,324 --> 00:35:26,868
I'm sorry. If I'd known,
701
00:35:26,893 --> 00:35:29,228
I would never have
attempted to... seduce...
702
00:35:29,262 --> 00:35:33,165
I read the first 200 pages of the book
that my dad was writing before he died.
703
00:35:33,866 --> 00:35:35,262
Do you know if he ever finished it?
704
00:35:35,304 --> 00:35:39,248
(Sighs) Well, yes, he
did, but I never saw it.
705
00:35:39,273 --> 00:35:41,974
Your father only sent me the first
part when we were still talking.
706
00:35:42,008 --> 00:35:45,611
Earlier, you said that he only went crazy
707
00:35:45,645 --> 00:35:47,546
a year before he died.
708
00:35:47,581 --> 00:35:49,682
Do you know if anything happened?
709
00:35:49,990 --> 00:35:53,793
No, I don't. don't you recall
seeing a... change in him?
710
00:35:54,588 --> 00:35:57,490
-No, I was away at college.
-Ah.
711
00:35:58,859 --> 00:36:01,794
Well, yes, it... (Laughs) It really
was as if a switch was flipped.
712
00:36:01,828 --> 00:36:04,913
He transformed into a
different person. Perhaps...
713
00:36:05,858 --> 00:36:07,938
You're lucky you didn't
have to see that side of him.
714
00:36:08,812 --> 00:36:12,338
I've read all of my dad's
books hundreds of times,
715
00:36:12,372 --> 00:36:14,140
but this one...
716
00:36:14,174 --> 00:36:15,454
It's different.
717
00:36:15,475 --> 00:36:18,812
Well, he was writing his manuscript
during that period of time.
718
00:36:19,913 --> 00:36:24,216
All I want is to know more. I have
so many things I wish I could ask him.
719
00:36:24,390 --> 00:36:26,118
Thomas Carver was many things,
720
00:36:26,484 --> 00:36:28,220
some, yes, not so flattering.
721
00:36:28,624 --> 00:36:30,222
Yet one thing he always was,
722
00:36:30,257 --> 00:36:31,991
was a great writer.
723
00:36:32,025 --> 00:36:35,094
I took a look at your story after you left
724
00:36:35,128 --> 00:36:36,996
and, come to think of it,
725
00:36:37,397 --> 00:36:40,999
reading your writing
reminded me of editing...
726
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,068
His work.
727
00:36:43,735 --> 00:36:45,536
Yes, you have your father's talent.
728
00:36:45,874 --> 00:36:48,707
It must run in the gene
pool, because there's...
729
00:36:48,742 --> 00:36:50,776
Well, there's real promise here.
730
00:37:05,758 --> 00:37:08,303
Remember, go at your own pace.
731
00:37:08,328 --> 00:37:10,288
And if you get tired, just take a break.
732
00:37:10,297 --> 00:37:12,264
Oh, and watch out for bike riders.
733
00:37:12,299 --> 00:37:13,666
They are not our friends.
734
00:37:13,700 --> 00:37:16,202
We're gonna meet at the Arlington
entrance to the public garden.
735
00:37:16,236 --> 00:37:18,170
- Okay. William.
- What?
736
00:37:18,205 --> 00:37:22,074
-Thanks. Truly.
-Oh! We're gonna have so much fun!
737
00:37:22,109 --> 00:37:23,142
(Giggles)
738
00:37:23,176 --> 00:37:25,144
-God, everyone's in such a rush.
-Yeah, I know.
739
00:37:25,178 --> 00:37:27,218
- It's too early.
- Hey, are you guys coming?
740
00:37:30,283 --> 00:37:32,251
Well, I have a confession,
and it's shocking,
741
00:37:32,285 --> 00:37:34,887
but I absolutely hate running.
742
00:37:34,921 --> 00:37:38,824
It sucks. Running culture makes me so mad.
743
00:37:38,859 --> 00:37:41,127
I only showed up this morning
because I thought you'd be here.
744
00:37:41,161 --> 00:37:44,864
-I did the same thing.
-I'm just a social member of the club.
745
00:37:44,898 --> 00:37:46,832
Can't help but love
those ABBA sing-alongs.
746
00:37:46,867 --> 00:37:48,934
-Right?
-Oh my god, they're the best!
747
00:37:48,969 --> 00:37:51,637
- We don't need them.
- You're right, we don't.
748
00:37:51,672 --> 00:37:53,606
- Enjoy.
- Yeah, you guys have fun.
749
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,541
-God, they're gonna have the worst time.
-(Door closes)
750
00:37:55,575 --> 00:37:57,877
-Yeah, why would you wanna run?
-I cannot think of anything worse!
751
00:37:57,911 --> 00:38:00,431
-It's too early to be running.
-(Laughs)
752
00:38:00,947 --> 00:38:02,448
Okay...
753
00:38:02,796 --> 00:38:05,651
- Are you ready?
- Are you?
754
00:38:05,695 --> 00:38:09,488
Yeah, let's do it. (Clears throat)
755
00:38:09,523 --> 00:38:12,658
"Is there something you've
dreamed of doing for a long time?
756
00:38:12,693 --> 00:38:14,627
"Why haven't you done it?"
757
00:38:14,661 --> 00:38:19,231
- Mmm. Honestly...
- There's only one way to be.
758
00:38:19,796 --> 00:38:23,369
For a long time I dreamed of
being a novelist like my dad.
759
00:38:23,403 --> 00:38:27,406
And the reason I didn't do it
was because he discouraged me.
760
00:38:28,413 --> 00:38:30,543
You know what? Screw my dad.
761
00:38:30,577 --> 00:38:33,057
I don't need his validation anymore.
762
00:38:33,513 --> 00:38:34,757
I'm gonna write a book.
763
00:38:35,148 --> 00:38:37,450
(Both chuckle)
764
00:38:59,847 --> 00:39:02,082
- Hi.
- Hey.
765
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,849
I dropped the dress off
at Goodwill this morning.
766
00:39:09,883 --> 00:39:11,817
And they took it?
767
00:39:11,852 --> 00:39:15,020
Well, I suppose it'll win someone the uh...
768
00:39:15,055 --> 00:39:19,692
tackiest Halloween costume contest prize.
769
00:39:19,726 --> 00:39:23,863
(Gasps) Oh! You look gorgeous!
770
00:39:23,897 --> 00:39:26,532
- This is definitely the one.
- You see?
771
00:39:26,566 --> 00:39:29,635
It's a good thing I kept
my beautiful wedding dress.
772
00:39:30,737 --> 00:39:33,873
F.Y.I., it's not hard to get off.
773
00:39:33,907 --> 00:39:35,808
- Oh!
- (Both laugh)
774
00:39:35,842 --> 00:39:38,611
I think I still have the veil somewhere.
775
00:39:38,645 --> 00:39:41,881
- Let me go find it.
- (Laughing)
776
00:39:43,717 --> 00:39:46,452
It doesn't even need that much tailoring.
777
00:39:46,486 --> 00:39:48,203
I mean, it's perfect.
778
00:39:49,856 --> 00:39:51,824
So, how'd the questionnaire go?
779
00:39:51,858 --> 00:39:54,460
Oh. Well, it wasn't easy,
780
00:39:54,494 --> 00:39:57,463
but, luckily, Leo and I
finally opened up to each other.
781
00:39:57,497 --> 00:39:59,365
Oh, that's great.
782
00:39:59,399 --> 00:40:03,502
Yeah, I wish your father and I had done
something like that before we got married.
783
00:40:03,537 --> 00:40:05,604
Things might've gone a little differently.
784
00:40:05,882 --> 00:40:09,375
Mom, I know we all got
past dad's one big lie,
785
00:40:09,409 --> 00:40:13,646
but do you think that there's any
chance he was hiding other things?
786
00:40:15,045 --> 00:40:18,214
Honey, I wonder about that
all the time. I have no idea.
787
00:40:18,958 --> 00:40:21,773
The only person who really
knew your dad was George.
788
00:40:23,210 --> 00:40:26,492
You know, maybe the real reason I
held onto my dress all those years
789
00:40:26,526 --> 00:40:28,921
wasn't because I actually
thought it was stunning.
790
00:40:28,946 --> 00:40:30,280
I think...
791
00:40:30,835 --> 00:40:35,015
It might've just been that I
really liked the memory of the day
792
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,874
and what it symbolized,
793
00:40:36,899 --> 00:40:39,445
more so than the actual
parts of the marriage.
794
00:40:40,525 --> 00:40:43,694
You know, they say that you tend to have
the same kind of marriage as your parents,
795
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,053
which, April, I...
796
00:40:45,788 --> 00:40:47,546
I hope is not the case with you.
797
00:40:47,581 --> 00:40:50,482
I mean, if there's anything I
want you to have learned from us,
798
00:40:50,517 --> 00:40:53,218
it's that you should do
things differently than we did.
799
00:40:53,886 --> 00:40:56,788
Most importantly, just be
honest with one another.
800
00:40:57,026 --> 00:40:59,194
It's not gonna be hard. Leo's a good guy.
801
00:40:59,671 --> 00:41:01,293
- That he is.
- (Chuckles)
802
00:41:01,328 --> 00:41:03,093
In fact, he's so great,
he's been practicing
803
00:41:03,117 --> 00:41:04,148
those dance moves you taught him.
804
00:41:04,149 --> 00:41:05,950
- Really?
- (Both laugh)
805
00:41:05,975 --> 00:41:08,310
-Think maybe you can help me
figure out how to do that... -Yes.
806
00:41:08,335 --> 00:41:11,124
In this dress, so I'm not
completely outshined at my wedding?
807
00:41:11,271 --> 00:41:12,638
- Okay.
- All right.
808
00:41:12,672 --> 00:41:16,275
-All right, is there a way to hold it?
-Yeah, that's it.
809
00:41:17,191 --> 00:41:20,160
- (Laughs) Cool.
- Okay.
810
00:41:20,459 --> 00:41:22,734
- Another way?
- Oh! Ooh!
811
00:41:22,759 --> 00:41:24,960
