We have to stop meeting like this.

- This is our third morning coffee date in a row.
- I know.

- It's gotta stop.
- It's like the secret life of carpoolers.

Honestly, the food's better
here than at my place right now.

Unless you like hamburger helper.

That's all Coop eats right now.

I'm more of a fish sticks guy myself.

Well, I wish I could get
Paige to eat fish sticks.

We had this massive showdown last week.

She declared herself a vegan.

I said, "no, no, no."

I negotiated her back up
to a vegetarian. So she's,

uh, 12 going on junior at Berkeley.

Yes. It's not that I don't
support her moral choice.

I just... I don't know what to feed her.

The latest battle... she, uh...

- she wants a tattoo.
- What?

- She wants a tattoo.
- She's 12.

- Yes.
- The... oh, my goodness.

And Paige's thing... she's just...

she's always pitting me
and Joe against each other.

- It's driving me nuts.
- Oh, yeah. My ex and I

we had to nip that in the bud.

It's called, uh, the circle of trust.

And I... I know it sounds very 1960s,

but every drop-off and pickup,

we have a family chat
about where everybody's at.

You know, it works. It's
all about, uh, transparency.

Transparency. Wow.

Where have you been all my life?

Well, maybe it's good we're meeting now.

What are you doing tonight?

Your kids are with their dad.
My kids are with their mom.

- I'll bring the fish sticks.
- I'm sorry.

I... I invited my
sister Kitty for dinner,

and her husband.

- Another time.
- But you should come, please.

- Okay.
- Except my mother is gonna be there.

And I work with my uncle Saul.

He got wind of it, so he's coming.

And my brother Kevin is
bringing his husband Scotty

once they knock up the surrogate.

Uh, it's a big family dinner.
It sounds like fun to me.

It's not too late to say no.
It's a hell of a lot of Walker.

I'm a big boy. I can
take care of myself.

I bet you can.

We had to do this on a Saturday?

I mean, isn't this
just a little bit early

in the election cycle to
be having this meeting?

Actually, they've been trying
to talk to you for a while.

We're only ten months
out from reelection,

which means you need to start doing

- at least four fund-raisers a
week, every week. - Oh, come on, Joe.

I don't even have a
challenger in the primary.

Senator, I've been raising
money for you for a lot of years.

You just... you never know
who's coming up from behind you.

You know the game. The game.

Robert, it's not that bad.
We can make our monthly quotas

with an event at 500 bucks a ticket.

Why don't they just
put me in the dump tank

- and have 'em throw beanbags at me?
- Look,

kid around all you want,
but we're not liking

how the opposition looks in November.

Yeah, they've got some strong guys,

but at the end of the day, the
liberals are gonna fade away

- and they're gonna run Velasquez.
- And that's why

we're thinking, make a
move with Hispanics now

while it's still early.

Get your hands in their
pockets before the Democrats

- start making 'em cry over immigration.
- You guys are unbelievable.

Look, I have my feelers
out to this, uh... Shakira.

Outdoor concert... you rent
a couple of porta-potties,

and bingo... you pull in
a couple hundred grand,

and you'll look golden
with the Mexicans.

Okay, first of all,
Shakira is from Colombia.

And before we go pandering
to Mexican-Americans

or anybody else... it's not how
I want to deliver my message.

And it's definitely not
how I want to spend my time

in the senate. But, uh, you're
still gonna need to get the money

to get the message out there,
however you want to do it.

Okay, enough. Listen,
let's table this discussion

before I say something
you're not gonna want to hear.

Robert, y... you own
this seat. It's just...

we just have to look ahead.
That's all I'm saying.

Joe, nobody owns a senate seat. Okay?

All right. I'll talk to you this week.

I'll let you go back
to it. But next week.

Thanks, Joe.

Aren't you supposed to be
at the fertility clinic?

Yeah.

Go. Go... make a baby.

Will you please come over here?

I can't see you back there.

I'm sorry. I was just
trying to be respectful

of your, um, you know, lady parts.

"Lady parts"? Is he joking?

No. If we become parents,

you will say "penis" and "vagina,"

not "licorice" and "lady parts."

- Hey, mom.
- Look, I just wanted to tell you,

I'm thinking about you

and I'm sending you very strong vibes.

Oh. I think it's a little weird

to have your mom in the
room during conception.

- Hey, guys.
- Uh, the doctor's here. Bye.

Ooh, he's very nervous.

Mom, I can't find your bundt pan.

- Do you still have it?
- It's right there.

Right in front of your face,
right next to the jell-o mold.

- Got it.
- You're making a bundt cake?

Mm-hmm. And drunken pork.

Ooh. Drunken pork and a bundt cake.

You know what? You don't have to come.

If you want to change your
mind, that's absolutely fine.

No, no. I want to meet this guy.

I have never seen you
so totally... aflutter.

Oh, come on. I'm not aflutter.

Just, um... optimistic.

Optimistic is what the weatherman is.

- No, you're aflutter. Admit it.
- Okay, I admit it.

I admit it. I am. I'm aflutter.

Mom, this guy's incredible.
He wakes up in the morning,

and he actually leaves the house.

He is sharp. He's organized.
He runs his own business.

He understands what it's
like to be a single parent.

- He's a grown-up.
- Yeah, in other words,

he's everything Luc wasn't.

Oh, don't stop there.
What about my ex-husband?

This is a sea change for me.

- Well, I can't wait to meet him.
- Okay, I gotta get going.

I got a hundred things to pick up,

and I still have to stop by at Ojai.

- Ojai? Why? It's Saturday.
- Oh, God, mom. Uncle Saul...

He filed the quarterly taxes
before he did the payroll taxes,

which leaves us wide open to an audit.

- I gotta go fix it up.
- Well, ask Saul to do it.

Yeah.

The thing is, uncle Saul's
been so cranky lately.

It's better I do it myself.

I hope he's all right. I
haven't spoken to him in weeks,

which is strange in itself.

Mom, I am actually a
little worried about him.

He's been at Ojai so long.

He might just be burnt out.

Well, look, you're busy. I'll do it.

- What, talk to Saul?
- Well, I'll do that later.

First I'll go to Ojai,
refile your 1120 form

and fix your taxes.

Listen to you. "Refile the 1120 form."

You know what? In the old days of Ojai,

bookkeeping was a one-woman show...

would you please just let me handle it?

Okay. Go for it.

- Thank you.
- No, thank you.

No, thank you.

Remember the first
time we went to D.C....

that wingding for college Republicans?

Yes, and we thought it
was a Halloween party...

and I wore a bunny suit.

- And I dressed as a stripper.
- And the only

reason you got a job in the White House

- was because of that G-string.
- Hey.

Hey. If you got it, flaunt it.

Okay. I need a little intel.

What's your husband meaning to do?

Primary's coming right up,

and he has not announced for reelection.

- America needs to know.
- I wish I knew myself.

Well, join the club.

Nobody can say boo until he decides.

I have got players stacked
up from here to San Francisco

- just waiting on him.
- Who are we talking about?

Diaz, Barry Dececco

and, oh, you know Hargrove?

Kinky Bob?

Yeah. You can't put him over.
He's got stuff on the Internet.

His wife did take him back.

Well...

What about Holtzman in the 54th?

I hear that he's on his way out.

Yeah, he is flopping like
a catfish on dry land.

I could probably get somebody in there.

Really?

Well, who's... who's interested?

A lot of people. Why?

Oh, no. No. Um, I'm just curious.

No reason.

No reason?

Kitty McCallister...

It's you. Shh.

Shh, shh, shh. Oh, my...

No, shh, shh. Oh.

No, no. I... I don't know
yet. It's complicated.

I have a baby. My
marriage is going great.

I just... I don't know
why I just said that.

Ooh, you would kill in the 54th.

Your cancer... we don't even
have to focus group that.

- Women love you.
- No, I do not want to run on lymphoma.

I want to run on what I
can do for other people,

not on what happened to me,

if... if I even decide to do it.

I... hey.

I don't want to hear "if."

Kitty McCallister for
congress in California's 54th.

What took you so long?

Surprise.

Hey.

It's your loving, supportive
wife bringing you lunch.

What's that?

Oh, well, it's Saturday.

You had a meeting with Joe Corvus.

You know, if I had a
meeting with Joe Corvus,

I think that I would be drinking vodka.

So what did he have for
you, meet and greets?

- You don't want to know.
- Honey, you know what?

Nobody wants to raise money,

but, you know, primary
season is revving up.

And every dirt bag and money-grubber

comes marching right
out of the woodwork.

It does seem to get worse every year.

Now it's to the point
where you get elected

to go to work for the
people who sent you there,

and instead, you gotta turn right around
and go to work on getting elect again.

Yeah, well, it isn't a perfect system,

- but it is the one we have.
- And the endless gridlock...

Now look, I brought you
turkey on rye with spicy...

and the name taking and
score keeping, and I...

look, I don't have anything
against the people who do it,

I just don't want to
work that way, you know?

I... I want to... I want
to do something real.

I want to be able to
point to something and say,

- "see that? I did that."
- Well, there are

tons of things that you can point to...

I mean, what if you, Evan
and I started a foundation,

and... and we went to
Africa and we brought water

- and we brought doctors to people who needed it?
- Yeah,

of course. I mean,
that would be wonderful.

- But... but maybe someday, we... we...
- And... and... and when? When?

I mean, here comes another election.

And I'm running and I'm running
and... and where am I going?

I mean, in the last four
years, I've run for president,

- I've run for governor.
- I know, but you're a senator.

Okay, you love being a senator.

I love the work. I
hate the crap around it.

Are you... saying that
you don't want to run?

I'm saying that I don't
want to play the game.

You're saying that
you don't want to run.

I'm saying I don't want to run.

I'm done. I'm done running for office.

I...

We're done running for office.

Wow. Okay. Okay. We're done.

We're done running for office.

Now I know you're wondering
whether my wife's health

had anything to do with this decision.

And the answer is, yes,
and so did my heart attack.

Through both crises, I
learned not to be more careful

but to be more bold,
to take more chances...

Because this is the
only life that we get.

But let me be clear.

Although I won't be running
for reelection in November,

I remain committed to
serving all Californians

as their senator for
the remainder of my term,

and then after that, as
an engaged private citizen.

Senator! Senator! Will
you be endorsing anyone

- in the Republican primary, senator?
- I think

I'm gonna wait and see
who jumps into the pool

- before I... I get into that.
- Is there any

truth to the rumors
that Mrs. McCallister

was thinking of running
for congress in the 54th?

I'm... I'm sorry?

Word on the street is
that she's interested.

Well, why don't we
let Kitty answer that?

Uh, w... well...

Well, uh, no, no. I-I actually
haven't heard that rumor.

H... have you?

No. No.
- No, you're sorry.

You're, uh, you're on
your own with that one.

Yes, but it's a good try, Steve.

- Yes. Senator.
- What's next, senator?

Any specific plans for after next year?

Why'd I drink so much water?

Well... a full bladder

makes your uterus easy
to see with the sonogram.

Is it gonna hurt?

Actually...

It's done.

Two embryos.

Oh, wow. Really?

Talk about premature ejaculation.

Now, Michelle, I need you to stay still

and lie here for an hour.

After that, it's 36 hours of bed rest.

- My friend Sam's gonna help me.
- Uh, what friend Sam?

She has a friend named
Sam. What's the problem?

No problem. No Sam. We're
gonna take care of her.

She's not gonna move. We're
not taking any chances.

You do know that with in
vitro, you need to abstain

from sexual activity for up to week 16?

16?

No, I did not know that.

Oh, well, now you do.

Maybe you guys should abstain
for 16 weeks in solidarity.

You're really bustin' out
the big guns for this guy.

Yeah, are you sure you shouldn't save

the bundt cake for, like,
maybe later in the relationship?

Oh, I've got plenty of hot recipes

- where that one came from.
- Oh, my goodness.

You really like this guy. This is great.

No, I just like how
easy he makes everything.

You know, I have had so much
drama in my romantic life,

and I've realized that relationships

- do not have to be like that.
- Really? Who knew?

- Hey.
- So this guy...

For me, for where I am at right now...

He's kind of perfect.

Perfect?

Oh, it's Scotty.

Hey. Are you, uh, are
you knocked up yet?

Ah, well, keep your fingers crossed.

We just need to elevate her
feet so the salmon can swim

- upstream.
- Okay, so I'm just gonna put you on speaker

- so I'm not the only one grossed out. Hold on, buddy.
- Hi, guys.

Hey. Hi.

Hi, total strangers who know
way too much about my business.

How did everything go?

Oh, well, you know, um, the
buns are orbiting the oven.

We just need to keep
squirmy mcsquirmy-pants still

for the next 36 hours so they can land.

Oh, Michelle, I was working
like crazy when I got pregnant.

- Don't let them drive you nuts.
- Oh, we're just

trying to be overly
cautious. That's all.

- Where's Kevin?
- Oh, Robert called. He said it was important.

You know how that is.
Robert calls, Kevin jumps.

That sort of... thing...

Michelle, what's that smell?

Ah, that's my oven.

I have a gas leak.

- The landlord was supposed to fix it.
- A gas leak?

- Just a little one.
- Scotty, you've

gotta get her out of there right now.

Well, the doctor said
she's supposed to be

- on bed rest.
-Well, find her a different bed.

Uh, well, I guess we'll
take her back to our place.

- Come on. Where would you two sleep?
- I don't...

bring her over tonight.
The kids are with Joe,

- so she can have Paige's room.
- Oh, thank you,

thank you, thank you so much.

And thank God Kevin's not here.

- He'd be having a nervous breakdown.
- Come on.

5... 0... 4... 7-2.

That's all I needed,
Peggy. Thank you very much.

- Nora?
- Aah!

God. No, I'm fine. It's just Saul.

Sorry, Peggy. I yelled
right in your ear.

Okay, bye.

- My God, Saul. You scared me to death.
- I'm sorry.

Next time would you knock
on a door or make a noise?

What do I have to knock
for Nora? It's my office.

- What are you doing here?
- I'm talking to the accountant.

Yeah, I know. I heard you.
Why are you sitting at my desk?

Um... I'm... I'm just
doing Sarah a favor.

She came by this morning and mentioned

there was a problem filing the taxes.

Oh, I see. Sarah said
there was a problem.

Well, uh...

A snafu, really.

- A snafu?
- You didn't do the payroll taxes.

Yeah, Nora, I know. That's
why I'm here to fix it.

And if Sarah was so worried,
why didn't she call me

instead of sending my baby
sister to make it worse?

She didn't send me. I... I offered.

And talk about worried?
You know what, Saul?

I'm worried about
you. Are you all right?

We haven't spoken in weeks.

Well, perhaps that's
because I'm busy doing my job

and I don't have all day to
spend talking on the phone.

Why are you being so defensive?

Because you're sitting at my desk

making God knows what kind
of a mess out of my files.

I'm not making a mess.
I fixed the problem.

I was trying to help
you. You should thank me.

What for, Nora? I don't need your help.

I'm the CFO, not some
housewife in need of a hobby.

Now if you will excuse me,

I would like to sit down
at my desk and do my work.

Fine. I'm leaving.

Excuse me for trying to make your life

just a little bit easier.

- Sarah said you were crabby, but that is an understatement.
- Oh.

The form is complete.

But since I am such a
lowly amateur in your eyes,

- perhaps you should double-check it.
- Oh, I will.

Thanks to all you dedicated parents,

the middle school garden
has grown tremendously

over the past year.

And the cooks in the
cafeteria are loving it, too.

So great job.

Now on to a more serious topic.

As you know,

the parent safety
committee has concluded

that doing random searches
on lockers and backpacks

might ease a lot of the
security stress at the school.

So we'd like to hear from you
parents about your feelings.

Yes.

Uh, hi, everyone. Um, Sarah Walker.

I think this is a horrible idea.

Being a student shouldn't rob you

of your right to protection
against unreasonable searches.

Frankly, I'm a little shocked
that the safety committee

would pursue a course of action

that doesn't consider
their kids' civil rights.

Uh, well, we did regard
the children's civil rights.

Oh, th... that's you?

I... I'm the head of
the committee, yeah.

Oh, uh, well, Roy, I'm
sure you didn't mean

to just slam this thing through

given nothing's actually ever happened.

You didn't happen to, uh, read
about the study that was done

on the middle schools in San Antonio?

No. No, I missed that.

It essentially tells us that, uh,

you can't tell what's
in a kid's backpack

unless you check it.

Uh, but what about the
parents? Isn't that our job?

I know what's in my kid's backpack.

- What was in your kid's backpack today?
- Lunch and books.

But what's gonna be in
their backpack tomorrow?

'Cause that's the question.

They're changing so fast, it...
it's impossible to keep up.

Yes, that's why

you need to have a
relationship with your child.

Now I don't have an
unbroken circle, Roy,

but... I trust my children.

What about the older
children, the upperclassmen?

- Do you trust them?
- No, I guess I don't.

I guess I need my school to
do all the parenting for me.

In fact, why doesn't Principal Frazier

come over to my house
tonight and tuck my kids in?

Come on. Where does this stop?

It's a slippery slope down
to... to Hoover and the CIA.

All right. Does anyone
else have an opinion?

Excuse me. I haven't finished actually.

This is no longer
productive, Ms. Walker.

But I can assure you, this
will be discussed further

in committee.

Well, I'm gonna come to that meeting.

You'd have to be a
member of the committee

- to do that.
- I'm gonna join the committee.

- We're full up.
- I'll start another committee, a counter committee,

- a better committee.
- Hoover was head of the FBI.

Michelle, could you take it easy?

- I'm not moving, Kevin
- You're flapping your arms,

and you have to stay still or it might

- not stick.
- It's an embryo not velcro.

Yes!

Don't start your victory
dance. It's my serve now.

Let her win, would you?

I don't want to play if
he's gonna throw the game.

Hey, do... do you guys
want to hear a joke?

She's not supposed to laugh.

Where... where are you going?

I have to use the
bathroom. Is that all right?

Well, do you really
have to use the bathroom

- or are you just being spiteful?
- Do you want to find out?

Come on, Scotty.

You have to back me up over this.

You heard what the doctor
said. No moving at all.

So what does that mean?
She has to be careful.

She also said that
some women go jogging,

some women have sex and
drink the next morning,

- and nine months later, they still...
- I know, I know, I know.

I'm sorry. I just really,
really want this to work.

Oh. There you are. What
happened to your car?

Oh, they had to tow it.

All the lights lit up on
the dashboard, and then

the whole thing went apoplectic
and just dropped dead,

just like my relationship
with Mr. Perfect.

The two of you had an argument?

No, I just had the nerve
to stick to my opinion

about how to raise my children.

I challenged him. What's worse,
I challenged him in public.

And that's what happens.

If you don't smile and nod,
men get very threatened.

And I'm done with it.
I'm done, mom. I...

no more dating for me.

I'm just gonna go into a
quiet, happy life of abstinence.

- Does that mean he's not coming to dinner?
- Yes, mom.

He won't be coming to dinner.

Oh, sweetheart.

I really liked him.

I don't know what I was thinking.

I'm just... I'm stupid. I know.

You know what? I... I'm... I
don't want to think about it.

Let's move on. Come on.
Let's get outta here.

- Oh, how did everything go at Ojai?
- It was a disaster.

Mom, you said that you
would take care of it.

No, I did. I was great. It was...

my brother was the disaster.

He came in and saw me
working in his office,

and he had absolute hissy fit.

- Oh, my God.
- Yeah. He... he called me a dilettante

and... and said I was a
housewife in need of a hobby.

- Well, I told you he was very snappy.
- More than snappy.

He's just looking for
any excuse to lash out.

Yeah, but it felt so good to be working,

like the old days back at Ojai.

Well, I'm proud of you.

He's not.

Well, you're a strong woman.

If he is threatened by that, so be it.

- Right on, sister.
- Yeah.

Oh! I don't know how
you could do that...

tell people that I was
running for congress

- in the 54th.
- Because you wanted me to.

- I never told you to do that.
- I know. You didn't have to.

I knew what you wanted
even if you didn't.

Look, you're gonna be a great candidate.

You'll be a great public servant.

- I mean, give me a little credit for being good at my job.
- Look,

nobody ever said that you
weren't good at your job.

But I have to tell you
that this is a decision

that I have to make, okay?

It's private. It's... it's personal.

And I'm sorry to say, but
Robert is a part of it.

Oh, you've got nothing to worry about.

I never said this came from you.

That's not the point. The point is,

I don't even know if want
to be in this position again.

- And what position is that?
- Eating three dinners

because I don't want
to offend two cooks...

Keeping a smile plastered on my face

even though I'm missing
my son's bedtime...

Uh, kissing up, twisting arms,
and... and the worst of it

is remembering to lie when
I'm having lunch with a friend.

Man, you are good. Listen.

Yes. I'm gonna give
you this. It's a gift.

Robert just announced
that he's not running,

and neither am I.

I am sorry to hear that.

When you change your
mind, give me a call.

Mm-hmm. Nice try.

I'm not gonna change my mind.

Mnh-mnh.

Okay, here you are...
two bottles of water

and an entire newsstand
worth of magazines.

Thanks. So Sam just texted
me, and he is on his way.

You don't think that Kevin's

gonna be coming up
here all night, right?

Yes.

Here's the thing...

I didn't know how to tell Kevin this,

- but Sam is more than just a friend.
- You're kidding me, right?

- Don't you get upset.
- Well, how long have you been seeing him?

A month.

- Oh.
- Where does it say

- that a surrogate can't have a boyfriend?
- Nowhere,

but you have to tell us these things.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
I thought Kevin would get mad.

Yeah, well, he's gonna be a lot madder

now that you kept it from us.

Okay, at least tell me he's a nice guy.

Yes. He's a really nice guy,

and he's really responsible
and he's really sweet.

And he's just a little
younger than I am.

How much younger?

19.

N...

Oh, come on. Kitty
would've said something

if she was serious about running.

I'm telling you, the
question unnerved her.

Here, come on. Let's get started.

What are you gonna do,

- just drink yourself into a stupor tonight?
- You betcha.

I mean, let's face it...

Roy's hardly gonna show up, is he?

I was actually quite restrained.

I didn't call him a fascist,
which is what I was thinking.

That's restrained?

Look, you just need to find a man

who's comfortable with
you being a strong woman.

Do you remember when you
and I used to arm wrestle,

and I always used to beat you?

- Did you find that threatening?
- Sports were never my thing.

Listen, uh, Kevin,

Sam is on his way over
here with some dvds.

- Great. He can leave them with me.
- Kevin,

we can't control her.
She has a personal life.

- Be nice.
- Well, if he wants to stay for dinner,

I have a spare seat... place.

I hope you're not Sam.

Uh, no.

Roy.

Oh, my God. Wh... what
are you doing here?

Y... you invited me to dinner.

Oh. Oh, well, yes, of course I did.

I guess I figured, after
our little argument...

Well, uh, uh, look, Sarah.
Roy has brought wine.

- I'm Kevin. This is Scotty.
- Hi.

- Hey.
- Thank you.

Do you have a backpack we should check?

- Hi.
- Hi.

I can't believe Michelle is really here.

Yeah, so don't bother her.

Hello. I'm... I'm Nora Walker.

- Mom, this is Roy.
- It's a pleasure to meet you.

Very nice to meet you. I've
heard so much about you.

- Shut up.
- Hi.

- Hi, Saul.
- Hello.

Uncle Saul, this is, um, my friend Roy.

- Hi, Roy. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

Saul, I'm gonna go upstairs

and meet Michelle, the surrogate.

- Why don't you come with me?
- No, thank you.

- Oh, fine. Suit yourself.
- Mom, don't get her riled up.

- Hello.
- Hello. Roy, this is my sister Kitty...

- How are you?
- And her husband Robert.

- How are you?
- Good.

You want to get some
wine? I think you do.

So is this your first
Walker dinner party?

- It is.
- Good luck.

Oh, Robert.

He's a... funny guy.

I saw your face, okay? The only
reason Robert isn't suspicious

is because he doesn't know what you

- told us at the hospital.
- Oh, Kevin.

Just because I said I
was thinking about running

- doesn't mean I'm gonna do it.
- Well, that depends

on who you've been
thinking about it with.

All right, all right. I made a mistake.

I made a very, very big mistake. Buffy.

- You remember Buffy?
- Yeah.

Well, I told her that I
was considering running.

It... I don't know. I guess...
I guess she blabbed it.

- I knew this was a story. I knew it.
- Shh, shh, shh.

- What's going on in here?
- Nothing.

It's like one of those back rooms

where political deals get done.

I told you. She wants to run.

- Oh, my God. Really?
- Shh. No.

- Kitty, that's fantastic.
- No, no.

And even if I did want to
run, I can't do it anyway

- because Robert... dropped out of politics today.
- Well, so?

- Can't you drop in?
- No, no, you don't understand.

He did it for me. He dropped
out of politics for me.

Well, have you even
talked to him about this?

- No, and I'm not going to.
- Well...

- No, no, shh. My life is fine.
- Yeah?

In fact, my life is
fabulous just the way it is.

- So... you know what we're doing?
- What?

We're being rude. Rude.
Now come on. Come on.

I promise you that she wants to run.

Wine.

Great.

- Oh! By the way, Sam's here.
- He is?

Mm-hmm.

Well, listen, you guys have fun.

We'll just be downstairs.
Call us if you need us, okay?

We're gonna watch a zombie movie.

You're gonna watch a zombie movie?

- I don't want her seeing anything violent.
- K... Kevin,

it's just a movie. For goodness sakes.

Wh... when I was pregnant
with you, I saw "The Exorcist,"

- and you turned out just fine.
- Well, uh, she's not pregnant yet.

That's the whole point.

- And second of all, he didn't turn out just fine.
- No.

Um, Kevin, this is Sam.

It's, uh, great to meet you.

So... anyway, come on. Let's go.

- Yeah.
- Bye, guys.

Bye.

Uh, she... she's... she's
on bed rest. Got that?

Yes, sir.

Yeah.

I was very sorry to hear
about your announcement today.

Mm. But I understand.

I left the company I was working for

to start my own, uh, agency.

Best thing you ever did, right?

I'm traveling a lot more now, though.

- And I hate airports.
- Well, I'm afraid you

can blame me for the whole shoe thing.

- I'm the senate committee on homeland security.
- Oh, don't worry.

- Roy loves x-ray
machines. - Oh, you should

see the ones we're working on now.

You can barely get a
thumbtack through 'em.

I think she's alluding

- to a little disagreement we had earlier.
- Well,

you guys just met, and
you've already had a fight?

No, it was more of a political dustup.

I loved your book, by the way.

Wow. Wow. You...
you... you read my book?

- It's terrific.
- Thank you.

Sorry. We were just talking to Michelle,

who is stuck in bed
for the next 36 hours.

Mm. Uh, 26 and counting, actually.

Ah, Kevin, uh, Roy was just saying

how much he enjoyed Kitty's book.

Oh, well, she does have
a great political mind.

- Wouldn't you say, Robert?
- It's one of the reasons I married her.

My sister gave it to
me. She's a Democrat,

- and I'm a Republican, so...
- Oh...

Oh, this just keeps
getting better and better.

- That explains everything.
- Explains what?

I believe schools have the right

to search lockers and backpacks.

Without good cause.
Now that's crazy, right?

- No, I don't think that's crazy at all.
- What?

What if someone brings
a gun onto campus?

Mom, I can't believe you're saying this.

My kids go to school in D.C.

I don't want anything
getting into that building

- other than homework.
- Come on.

It's... it's an invasion
of the kids' privacy.

It's gotta be illegal. Right,
Kevin? Back me up on this.

- No, I don't think so. Not on school property.
- Really?

Mm-hmm.

Well, are you happy now? My
whole family is on your side.

No, I actually agree with Sarah.

I mean, I don't think
the point is the search.

It comes down to the
presumption of guilt,

which flies in the face of everything

- our country stands for.
- Yeah, we

don't always agree on everything.

Yeah. That's as it should be.

What a perfect attitude.
Don't you think,

- Sarah?
- Yes, I do, actually.

Oh. So, uh, Kitty,

have you ever thought
of running for office?

Wow. That's twice in one day.

N... no.

No, you know, I... I don't
think that I have the...

- the stomach for it.
- And really, it

would certainly not be a good time.

- I mean, you're really not healed, you haven't...
- Mom,

please don't talk about cancer.

We haven't talked about it
all night, and I don't...

- just put a sock in it for once.
- You are

absolutely right. We
shouldn't talk about it.

Anyway, I find politics very boring,

- and I'm glad you chose not to run.
- It's not

about that. It's not about being boring.

- Unpleasant, maybe, yeah.
- Just ignore him.

He has been a pill all day.

Saul, why don't you just go upstairs

and introduce yourself to
Michelle and her boyfriend?

And why don't you not tell me
what I should be doing, okay?

- I'm perfectly happy the way I am.
- Boyfriend?

I thought they were friends.

- Okay, Kevin. Calm down.
- Are they a couple?

Yes, they're dating.
She just told... Kevin.

- Excuse me.
- That guy up there?

- I'm sorry, everybody.
- I'm gonna get a beer. You want a beer?

- Yeah, I'd love one.
- The Republicans are getting a beer.

The Republicans are getting drunk.

Well, fine. Maybe I'll go have a beer.

Mom, come on. Stop it, the both of you.

You're like children. Look,
you're so mad at each other,

you can't even look
each other in the eye.

I'm not angry. I'm hurt.

What have you got to
be hurt about, Nora?

You waltzed into my office.
You sat down at my desk.

I went there today to try to help you.

Well, you can't help. Okay?
Why don't you understand that?

Whatever it is that I need,
you can't do anything about it.

Look, I'm 70 years old,
okay? All I have is my job.

So forgive me for... for being upset

because the two of you told me
that I'm not doing it very well.

I was trying to save you the trouble...

Just don't. My work is all I have.

My dreams are all gone. They're over.

I... I... I'm too old for them.

Okay, I shouldn't be here. That's all.

I just...

Oh. Aw, come on, Saul.

Please don't go. Wait
a minute. Wait a minute.

Uncle Saul, is that
what you really think,

that... that it's too
late for your dreams?

I mean, seriously,
because I almost died.

And you know what? I...
I really believe that

that's when your dreams become more

important than ever. I'm sorry, Kitty.

After what you've gone through, I

- shouldn't be...
- It's okay. I understand.

I'm... I'm just trying to
tell you that you're not alone,

that I have totally wasted so much time.

And, you know, I... I say

that I don't have the
stomach for politics,

but what I'm really trying to say

is that i-i don't have the guts.

- Oh, Kitty, you're nothing but guts.
- No.

You are nothing but guts.

And you exert a tremendous
amount of influence,

- whether I like it or not.
- Well, not as much as I could.

See, because that would require

me sticking my neck out
farther, taking a risk...

you know, getting myself
hurt, hurting somebody else.

- It's all...
- I'm confused. You mean,

you're actually thinking about...

Running.

Yeah, yeah. I... I am. I am.

And... and you know what, Saul?

We're still here.

So I... I think we have to go for it.

I truly believe that,

and... and there just happens to be

this very vulnerable
congressional candidate

in the California 54th.

And I think I'm just
gonna have to go after him.

Thank you.

Well, that was quite a speech.

Honey, it... it just came to me.

I... I was gonna... talk to me about it?

Well, yeah. When?

All right. That's it.
All the zombies are dead.

We can go to sleep
feeling safe and sound.

Wait. I like to watch the credits.

- Why? No one would put their real name to that movie.
- I loved it.

Yeah, I liked it, too.

- Lights out. I mean it.
- Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Michelle, he knows the rules,
right, for the next 16 weeks?

Okay, Kevin. You're
gonna drive them crazy.

- He's a teenager. They think about sex endlessly.
- Well, yes.

- I'm right here, man.
- I know, man. That's the problem.

All right, just so you know,

i was so excited when she
told me what she was doing.

I still am.

I wish you guys a lot luck.

Great. Now I feel bad.

Maybe you'll be nicer from now on.

Michelle, you... you... you
do know how grateful I am

for everything you're doing, right?

Yeah.

Can I ask you guys a
question, seriously?

Of course.

If this doesn't work out,

you're not gonna be mad at me, right?

Oh, no. No, not at all.

Okay, good, because
I can't stop laughing.

It's impossible. I find the world funny.

You're absolutely right.

Do you know what I'm gonna do right now?

- I'm gonna let Scotty tell his joke.
- Oh, really?

Yeah. I'm a little nervous now, but...

- Come on!
- Okay, do you want to see my impression of a gay owl?

- Yeah.
- Yes.

Who?

It's good.

- That's funny.
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- You made a funny.

This is delicious.

It is.

It's a shame everybody left
before they got to try it.

Well, I'm sorry about
tonight. The whole day, really.

- I... I was a jerk.
- No, no.

You know, the truth is...

I think you hit a little bit of a nerve.

W... with what?

Paige's backpack.

It's sitting right there.

I have absolutely no idea what's in it.

Last year I could've told you...

"Harry Potter," chapstick, hair ties.

This year...

I never know who I'm gonna get.

And we fight nonstop.

I mean, I like a girl
that holds her ground,

- but, oh, boy.
- That makes two of us.

I w... I want to take this slow.

I just, uh... I like you.

And I wanted to say that.

'Cause it's all about transparency.

I like you, too.

Well?

Well? Oh, he's... he's fine, I think.

Uh, we have to leave in 15 minutes.

I was just looking at a speech
he wants to give next week.

How about you? How are...

how are you feeling about all of this?

What, about you running
or me losing my job?

You're not gonna lose your job, Kevin.

I mean, you know that
whatever he does next,

he's... he's gonna take you with him.

I hope you're right about that,

because with a little luck,
I'll have a family to support.

Mm. How is she doing?
Is... is she resting?

I hope so. It's like we
raised a child in one day.

First we had to keep her
happy and entertained.

And then we had to deal
with a teenaged boyfriend.

You know, when you came out,

the only thing that I was sad about...

well... well, besides the fact

that you disappointed my friend Wendy,

- who was madly in love with you.
- Oh, I remember her.

I was sad because...

I thought that maybe you were
never gonna get to be a dad.

And I think you are
gonna be... great at it.

And I am so happy that
this is happening to you.

Well, if you want
something badly enough,

you find a way to get it.

So you think I should do it?

You think I should just
throw my hat in the ring?

I think you should
talk with your husband.

Bye.

Bye.

Good morning.

Saul. Why didn't you call?

I would've made you some breakfast.

You've done enough for me already.

Oh. You sound like
you're in a good mood.

I am in a good mood. Kitty's right.

Life is too precious to waste.

Do you really think she's gonna run?

I-i mean, she just got
out of the hospital.

- I'm worried it's too soon.
- Kevin said that

the race is gonna be piece of cake.

- She probably won't even break a sweat.
- I hope.

I'll tell you what,
though, she inspired me.

- I did the stupidest thing this morning.
- What?

Well...

- I joined Silver Studs.
- What the hell is that?

It's an online dating service
for gay men of a certain age.

Yikes. Really?

- Yeah. Guess what.
- What?

I already got a friend request.

Oh, my gosh. I... I should
join a dating service.

Nora, the last time you dated someone,

he went to jail, remember?

So if I were you, I would take a breath.

Anyway,this is not about me, so go on.

Actually, it is about you.
That's why I came over.

- I wanted to talk to you about something.
- Now what?

Yesterday when you left my office,

- I didn't think you could do it, so I checked your work.
- Yeah.

- You did it.
- Well, Peggy helped me a little bit.

Oh, come on, Nora.

You were the best part of
Ojai when we first started.

Do you remember William and you and I

used to sit on these little fruit crates

- and try to figure out how to get customers?
- Yes.

You said something yesterday.
You said we were a family.

That's right. Ojai is a family business.

And I just want you to know
that whenever you want to come,

you are most welcome.

How was your flight?

Good.

Six hours of just thinking.

Did you come up with any conclusions?

That's funny. I was gonna
ask you the same thing.

And... and just for the record,
didn't you almost divorce me

for running for governor
without talking to you?

Yes, because you were
lying in a hospital bed

recovering from open-heart
surgery. Remember?

And what are you recovering
from, the common cold?

I'm, um... sorry.

I... I am. I'm... I'm sorry
that I didn't talk to you. I...

For the record,

I haven't made any decisions yet.

Well, that doesn't bode
well for your campaign.

You gotta want it pretty bad
to suffer the slings and arrows.

Robert, you have sacrificed
everything for me.

You've given up your governorship.

You've given up your
senate seat. How am I...

Wait. Wait, wait, wait. First of all,

those things aren't everything.

And why can't you give me credit
for owning my own decision?

- I'm the one who made it.
- Okay.

And why wouldn't you talk to me?

Because I didn't want
to ruin everything.

Well, that's not gonna happen.

So...

You gonna do this?

So what... what am I supposed to do,

just start campaigning
just when you've said

that you want out of
the whole thing? Yeah.

You broke the cardinal rule of politics.

You let the story get ahead of you.

What are you doing talking to
somebody like Buffy McCreary?

I don't know. I'm... I'm an idiot?

In politics, the only people you trust

are the people you're paying.

Yes, dear.

So?

So I don't know. I don't know.

You know, it's... it's
a very hard decision.

As long as I know that...

We won't lose... us.

Are you kidding me?

You're never getting rid of me now.

Let me ask you, why
are you talking about

this pissy little congressional seat?

If you really want to run for office,

I'll tell you whose
seat you should run for.

- Whose?
- Mine.

And we would kick ass.

We would.

We would.
