All language subtitles for Brothers and Sisters s04e22 Lights Out.eng

Uh, well, your grandfather,
William Walker,

he named Ojai Foods after
his childhood home, Ojai, California.

He grew up working
on his father's citrus farm

before moving here
and starting this company.

He grew up in the tradition
of the family farm.

And, um, that's how
he wanted to run Ojai Foods.

Now, obviously, your Uncle Saul
and your Uncle Tommy and I worked here.

But Dad tried very hard to make everybody
who worked here feel like family.

Paige, I'm not sure
I'm the best person to interview, you know.

My own brother fired me
from being Ojai's lawyer.

Uh, we're supposed to do an oral history
on our family

and I think this is a lot more dramatic

than hearing Daniel Petrova's grandpa
talk about his hip replacement.

Hmm. Okay. Well said.

Okay, Uncle Saul. We'II, uh...
We'll start with this.

What does Ojai Foods mean to you?

Okay.
What does Ojai Foods mean to me?

Mm.

Well...

I think we're gonna have to do this
another time, okay, sweetheart?

As I look around, I, um...

I see some of you
I've known since I was a little girl.

Others since Dad gave Tommy and me
our first summer jobs.

Some of you have worked here
for over 30 years.

All of you have been so loyal,

and have worked so hard,

and put so much of yourselves
into building this company.

But Ojai Foods will be closing its doors
for good this week.

Oh, man.

I want you to know that, um...

That we intend to honor our commitment
to you with full severance.

Your benefits are fully protected

and we're here to help out with
any job assistance that you may need.

You are the heart and the soul
of this company.

I am so very sorry.

The employee benefit fund is solid.
They're gonna get paid first.

And then we have the bank loans
and the taxes.

And after that, the vendors,
the contractors and the other creditors.

Okay, listen. I just wanna say

that I intend to get every last penny
of equity out of this company

for you and for the rest of the families.

Sarah, that's a very noble goal
but it's totally unrealistic.

I mean, inevitably there will be pain
for everyone.

Well, I'm sorry, Saul.
I am not prepared to accept that.

Okay, Tommy,
what's the status on the land sale?

Most of the contracts on the real estate
are done

and we're negotiating the sale
of the winery.

Good. I have a prospective buyer coming
in to tour the building this afternoon.

God, I know we have to do it
but it breaks my heart.

- Okay. What else?
- I have a liquidation company coming in.

They're gonna value the furniture
and the equipment.

We'll sell the semis, the delivery trucks,
the vans that will go in the credit column.

But the problem is time. The longer
we take, the more money we spend.

Right. Kevin's gonna need
a few computers and printers.

He volunteered to run
the job-placement office.

That's fine.

- Anything else?
- No.

Okay, then. Let's get to work.

Okay, I have a 15-month-old son
who's at that stage

where he crosses his arms
and he sticks out his lower lip,

and he says "no" to everything.

I mean, I had no idea that motherhood
would be so much like the Senate.

See? Do you see?

- I can't tell a joke.
- Well, try saying it faster.

I am so screwed.

Every winning candidate
for state-wide office,

going all the way back to Reagan,
has killed at the Gold Rush Dinner.

I can't afford to be less funny
than my opponents.

- I can't afford to go up there and die.
- No, come on.

Come on. We're gonna rally.
We have to do this. Yeah, yeah.

Look, now that we've got me sitting
next to the attorney general,

if you go out there, screw up
and shame the family,

he's never gonna give me a job.
Here we go.

That's right, Kevin.
Let's just make it all about you.

Yeah, look, I'm ready to laugh.
Seriously.

Go.

Oh, you know, this one, actually,

- is probably one of my best.
- Great.

Have you ever noticed how
the Democrats blame the Republicans

for everything that goes wrong
in this state?

I mean, one of them is sponsoring a
new bill to rename the San Andreas Fault

the Republicans' Fault.

- That is totally a fake laugh.
- No, it's not. It's not fake.

- Don't lie to a dying woman.
- Don't say that.

- It's probably just the material.
- I am doomed.

Hello. Um, Mr. Wright?

- Yes.
- Hi. I'm Nora Walker.

I'm Sarah's mother.
She's busy right now,

but I could show you around
if that's all right?

I'm sorry to have to meet you
under these circumstances.

I run a family operation too.
Both my boys work for me.

So I know this must be hitting you all
very hard.

Yeah, yes. Thank you.
That's very kind of you.

- We can take the back stairway here.
- Uh-huh.

This whole neighborhood has changed
so much over the past few years.

There used to be nothing here and now
there's so many restaurants and shops.

And a lot of these buildings
are being converted into lofts.

Well, that's exactly why I'm here.

Really?

Really? I can't tell you how happy
that makes me.

This place has been such a big
and important part of my family.

Ha, ha. Well, the idea that other families
might move here and be happy,

it just makes selling the place
almost bearable.

I'm sorry, but I think
you may have the wrong idea.

I own Wright & Sons Parking Systems.

We build and operate
parking structures.

- So you're not interested in the building?
- No. Just the property it sits on.

- Your daughter didn't tell you.
- No, she didn't.

- You told him to go away?
- Yes. I sent him away, Sarah.

How can you even consider
selling the place to someone

- who just wants to tear it down?
- Because he made the best offer.

But Sarah, this building is the only thing
left to show that we were ever here,

that the company even existed.
How can you sell it to someone

who wants to scrape it off
the face of the earth?

- You think I want to?
- Did you even try to find someone else?

What do you think?
Of course I did, Mom.

We are damn lucky we found this guy.

- There has to be someone.
- It's a building, for God's sake.

While it might hold
some sentimental value for us,

I can't let that keep us
from making the right deal.

Fine. Then I will find someone
to buy the building, myself.

Fine. You have two days.

So, what do you think, Sergio?

They've got experience, they're loyal,
they're honest.

If it was up to me,
I'd hire your entire crew.

But I can't make any more hires
until business picks up.

Okay, listen. Cut the crap.

Your biggest competitor
is going out of business.

If you don't start making money,
you're doing something wrong.

I mean, you could at least hire
some of our guys.

Sergio, hey. Listen, we appreciate
anything you can do, all right?

Thanks, Tommy.
- Things are a little tough right now.

I'd like to help,
but the economy's bad right now.

- That's bull...
- Stop it.

Look, we understand. All right?

And if things change,
just keep us in mind, all right?

You got it, Tommy.
- We'll speak to you soon. Bye.

- You just let him off the hook.
- Sarah, what are you doing?

You need to calm down, all right?

You can't single-handedly find jobs
for everybody.

We're putting a lot of people
out of work.

People with families. With mortgages.

- I will put as much pressure on as I can.
- I understand.

But you gotta take it easy on everybody,
including yourself.

Look, you've already got Mom all upset.

Mom seems to care a lot more
about bricks and mortar

than she does about people.

Sarah, just dial it back, okay?

Take a deep breath.

I don't need to worry about you
on top of everything else.

Holly, are you sure
this is the last of them?

Yeah, I'm sure.
Thanks for picking up all the boxes.

Wow.

Look at you.

- You like my hair like this?
- Oh, you look fantastic.

Can you believe I am trying to get a job
at another produce company?

Listen to me.
Maddox Thompson is a great place

and they are all going to love you.

I hope so because I really need a job.

Don't worry about it.
You're gonna get this job, sweetheart.

When's the last time
you called me sweetheart?

- When we were dating?
- Dating.

Can you imagine
if we had stayed together?

Yeah, you and I
in our platonic relationship,

snuggled in front of the TV,
watching old classic movies.

That should have been my first clue.

Well, that and our mutual love
for Kander and Ebb.

Well, there's a lot to be said
for good companionship.

I'll say there is. All right, go ahead.
You're gonna get this job.

Okay.

- I'll lock up.
- Okay.

Listen, Rawling,
I'm meeting with Stanton tonight.

I wanna take him down
as badly as you do,

but I have to wait for him
to make me an offer.

And I can't just force this.

You guys just gotta be patient.

- I gotta go.
Hello?

- Hey.
- Hey.

So...

Whoa.
You're not going anywhere, right?

No, I'm sorry, something came up.

I need you to stay and laugh
at Kitty's jokes.

- I thought you hired a joke writer?
- He wrote six pages,

but she's completely lost her confidence,
so I need a nice audience.

- Scotty's coming but he's a weak laugher.
- Well, I'm sorry, I can't do it.

- Is everything okay?
- Yeah, I just... I've lost my car keys.

Try the side pocket.

- You're good.
- That's why you used to pay me

the medium bucks.

So are you off to one of your secret
Defense Department's

clandestine, black ops,
espionage meetings?

So deep undercover, most people think
I'm eating chicken dinner

and talking about trade tariffs.

A meeting on trade tariffs just came up?

Would you cross-examine someone else?
And tell Kitty I said goodbye.

If you were doing something covert
or dangerous or unethical,

you would tell me, right?

No, I wouldn't.

But I'm not. So drop it.

Thanks for coming in.
We'll be in touch.

- Holly Harper.
- Hi.

It's good to see you.
- Thanks.

- I was sorry to hear about Ojai.
- Oh, thanks, Tim.

- And it's nice of you to meet with me.
- Oh, well, of course.

Um, I just feel I should tell you
right up front

you are completely over-qualified
for this position.

Well, I just wanna try something new.

- Expand my horizons.
All right, then.

You want any coffee or anything
before we start?

- Nope, I'm fine.
- Great. Then come on in.

Now this is a winner.

A lot of people think I'm running
for my husband's Senate seat

to prove that I'm as good as he is.

Actually, we just didn't wanna lose
the health insurance.

- You see, that's hilarious.
- No, Kevin, it's terrible.

It's absolutely terrible.
Scotty, is that funny?

- I don't think so.
- Scotty.

- I'm sorry. I think these jokes are lame.
- I paid good money for these jokes.

Yeah, well, they must have
been having a 2-for-1 sale.

At the lame-joke store.

This guy's like
the top Hollywood joke writer.

Yeah. Hollywood, Florida.

- That's funny.
- Well, thank you.

Oh, here's one. Oh, this is good.

Now that my husband has decided
not to run for re-election,

he's always asking me to cook
his favorite dish:

Lame duck soup.

Chemotherapy was more amusing
than that.

That was funny. She is funny.
Why don't you think she's funny?

Yeah, Kevin.
Why don't you think I'm funny?

You are funny,
but in a smartass-y type of way.

Is that what you want? You wanna stand
up at the Gold Rush and be a smartass?

All right. Fine. I'm trying. I really am.

It's just that this is not my thing.

Okay. Oh, here's one.

Um, Bill Clinton, the Dalai Lama,

and Mick Jagger
are teaming up at the Pebble...

"Teeing" up.

- Oh. Oh, wait a minute. They're golfing.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, this could be good.
Okay, we've got the Dalai Lama.

We've got Mick Jagger.

Stanton.

Sorry about the accommodations.

It wouldn't do either one of us any good
to be seen together.

I don't know.
Are we doing something wrong?

You're coming to the end of your term.
You're gonna need a job.

And I think I have one for you.

I'm a donor at the Cardwell Institute

and I know that they'd be thrilled
to have you.

I can guarantee you
seven million a year.

Seven million.

Well, that is generous.

And conspicuous.

We can direct most of it
to an offshore account if you want.

And it's not generous when you consider
the good you're gonna do for us.

Seven million doesn't even cover
the paperclips on this project.

Well, the committee meets next week
to approve the contract

and I think I can get the votes.
I don't see any real opposition.

And if there is?

I'll take care of it.

And how many applicants
did they have?

Counting me and my guys, maybe 35.

- For two positions?
- Yeah. I waited three hours,

but then they told us they'd filled the jobs
and we should go home.

- Not a lot of work for drivers right now.
- Yeah.

Okay, well, I'll make some more calls.

Maybe we can get you something
temporary to tide you over.

- Okay. Thanks.
- No problem. But, uh, in the meantime,

I'll help your crew file
for their unemployment benefits.

Those checks take a while
to come through.

- Yeah, I know.
- Pedro, I'm so sorry about all of this.

Hey, listen, a lot of people here
are worse off than I am.

- I'll call you as soon as I know anything.
- Thanks.

Hey.

So I, uh, picked you up some yogurt.

But I couldn't remember
if you liked double chocolate

- or the chocolate-chocolate,
- Thank you.

So I got you both.

- Is stuff still crazy at Ojai?
- Ugh. You have no idea.

What is it, your r�sum�?

Yeah. I'm trying to make the two years that
I worked for my mom look like a career.

Okay. How about this?

Justin, I'm trying to work.

What if I were to say
that I have an idea

that does not involve a r�sum�?

I'd say, I'm listening.

Okay. Hear me out.

This group on campus is recruiting
med students

to go to Haiti for a year to help out.

And, Rebecca,
I think this would be awesome for us.

I could go help people that are suffering
right now and not in seven years.

And you know, with Ojai closing,
you can come with me.

You said you wanted to get back
into photography,

so you could pictures
and sort of document the whole thing,

which would then be you helping too.

There's my sales pitch.
So it's your turn to talk.

Um...

Justin, I know medical school
wasn't everything that you wanted...

Oh, no. It's a sabbatical.
I would get credit

for hands-on experience down there.
So the timing of it is perfect.

- Not all the timing.
- What does that mean?

Justin, I wanna talk about this,

but I have, um, a second-round interview
for this new job.

Second round? When was I gonna hear
about the first round?

Um,
apparently when I heard about Haiti.

Justin, listen. I do love photography

and Haiti would be incredible,

but I like what I'm doing.
This is my career and let's face it,

a year is a really long time.

How come I feel like
you've already made up your mind?

Justin, that's not fair.
You can't just spring this on me

and expect me to say yes immediately.

You know what? Thanks for considering it
for all of 20 seconds, Rebecca.

Is there anything good
about working at Ojai you remember?

Okay. Well, you know,
I wasn't as close to Dad

as Tommy or your mom was,

so I never worked here as a kid.

I just assumed Dad didn't want me to.

Anyway, uh, about a month
after I got out of law school,

he called me and asked me
to look over a contract.

And it might just have been a way
for him to get free legal advice.

I don't know.

But for me...

Did it make you happy?

I don't know that I've been so proud,

before or since.

You're trying to do the best
you can for your employees,

but my answer hasn't changed.
I'm sorry.

- Okay. What if I sweetened the deal?
I'm listening.

Would you hire my loaders and my drivers
if I sign over three semis to you?

In a word, yes.

Okay then, we've got a deal.
Thanks, Sergio. I'll be in touch.

What are you doing here?

You left this morning without breakfast
or even saying goodbye.

So it's time for croissant,
pain au chocolat, grapes.

Nice little breakfast.

Listen, don't be mad.
My stomach's all knotted up.

I can't face the thought of food.

You know on top of everything,
my mother is furious at me

because she's gotten all sentimental
about this building

- at the worst possible time.
- Well, with all the change going on,

I'm sure she's looking for something solid
to hold onto, so...

Maybe, but I've gotta be practical.

I don't have the luxury
of getting attached to a building.

Anyway, the only thing
that really matter to me,

you eating food, okay?

Come here, you.

I don't suppose coffee counts?

No. Sorry.

I can't believe Sarah is doing this.

We have to sell the building.
We have no choice.

It's like no one else's opinion matters.

Tommy.
Tommy, do you think getting top dollar

should be the only criteria
for choosing a buyer?

Mom, it's just a building.

It's not just a building. It's our history.

It's my history.

God, Sarah was just a baby.
She wasn't even walking yet

and your father and I worked on
those plans together.

For months and months and months.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Plans.

The designer of those plans
was Roger Grant.

- Yeah, and he lives in London.
- No, he's here now. I read it in the Times.

Maybe he'll buy the building.
You never know.

Mom, there's no way he's gonna pay
what the parking lot people are offering.

Look, the parking lot
is not going to happen.

I used to have his cell phone number.
I used to have his...

See, look.
You don't even have his number.

I slept with the man for God's sakes.
I've got his number.

- Okay, I've got... All right.
- Look, Mom, just be careful, all right?

Don't be silly. I'm not in the least bit
interested in Roger Grant.

I'm talking about Sarah.
I've never seen her like this.

Mom, maybe this is the wrong time
to pick a fight.

I'm not picking a fight.

I'm trying to save a piece of us.

Look, Tommy, maybe it isn't important
to you or Sarah right now,

but someday it might be.

Hello, Roger?

Hi, it's me, Nora.

So imagine, okay?
Mm-hm.

Right at the top there,
the two towers will connect via a skywalk.

- Skywalk.
- Up on the 70th floor.

Oh, the 70...

That has got to be one hell of a view.

If the permits take any longer,

I'll be viewing this project
from well above that.

Ha, ha. Roger, stop. Don't talk like that.
You're not old.

And besides, anything that good
is worth waiting for.

Yep.

Look, I'm sorry I, um...
I couldn't do dinner.

- It's just, we have to fly out this evening.
- That's all right.

Yeah. Kristin and I.

Is that your assistant
or someone you're seeing?

Yeah, the latter.

She has us off on this fitness retreat
starting tomorrow.

Yeah, she's the instructor
and it should be great.

Why do you look so pained?

Well, I feel bad, Nora.
I should have mentioned her before.

No. I'm the one
that should have said something.

I think my being mysterious
might have confused things.

Actually, it's Ojai Foods.

Roger, we're shutting down.

Wow.

I'm sorry about that.

Must be a tremendous loss, I'm sure.

Well, I'm so glad you feel that way
because I was thinking,

our building is one of the first buildings

- you ever designed.
- The very first.

The first? That's perfect.

I think you're gonna love this idea,
Roger.

I think you should buy the building.
And then you can keep it safe

and protected from any horrible person
wanting to tear it down.

Are you kidding?
I'd pay someone to do that.

- What?
Look, Nora,

I'm glad the building has been home to
your wonderful business for many years,

but it's never gonna make
the Roger Grant architectural tour.

I mean, it's just a pastiche
of all the other buildings downtown.

I was copying other buildings back then.

The truth is, I'm more interested in
where I've gotten to.

Oh. Oh, yes.

Ah, yes, yes, yes. I see.

You are now into newer, younger,
more modern design.

Sleek and smooth.
Ah, yes, that's perfectly clear.

You know, I had no idea that you'd take my
dating a younger woman so personally.

Roger, I don't give a rat's ass
about your girlfriend.

It's the disdain you have
for your own history that bothers me.

You just wanna plaster over
all the imperfections in your career

as if you could just Botox
your whole past away.

Look, I don't love my wrinkles,
and I'm certainly not fond of my neck,

but I'm not ashamed of them.
They're who I am.

It's a record of the life I've lived.

Our building is humble and simple
and I love it.

And I'm just so sorry for you
that you don't.

- Thank you for the coffee.
- My pleasure.

I'm Holly Harper,
co-president of Ojai Foods.

So you were
my grandfather's girlfriend?

Paige. That's not very appropriate.
- Ha, ha.

Saul, it's okay. No, Paige,
you can ask me anything you want.

Did that make it weird to work here?

Sometimes.
Uh, like now, for instance, but...

- Hey.
- Look, look. It's your, uh, Aunt Rebecca.

I'm so sorry to interrupt.
I have some really good news.

What is it, sweetie?

Okay, you guys are looking at
the new associate vice-president

of Maddox Thompson Foods.

Maddox Thompson? Wow.

Wow. L... That's wonderful.

I'm shocked. Apparently
they interviewed a lot of people too.

Well, why be shocked?
They are lucky to have you.

- That all great. Thank you.
- Okay.

- Hey, Pedro. What's up?
- Great news. We're going over to Sergio.

All of us. Starting next week.

That's amazing.

This is such great news. The last I heard,
Sergio wasn't hiring at all.

He said he talked to Sarah about us.
You should give him a call.

- Maybe there's openings for other people.
- Yeah, of course. I'm so happy for you.

- Congratulations.
Thanks.

- I gotta go home and tell my wife.
- Yeah, of course.

When we started Ojai Foods,
your grandfather and I,

I was in my 20s.

And aside from a brief stab
at retirement,

I have spent every day of my working life
at Ojai Foods.

Yeah.

And it's been a very satisfying job,
you know?

Giving nourishment to people,
feeding them, filling them up.

And I guess if you're lucky enough,
it can work both ways.

Your job can nourish you,
can enrich your life.

And I have been very lucky.

I have gotten to work with people
that I love.

But there is a danger to it.

I suppose when you don't have children,
when you're single like I am,

you can rely on your job to give you
more than it actually can.

It becomes so much a part of you
that you can't imagine life without it.

Yeah.

Without that place to go to everyday.

Have you guys seen Rebecca?

It was her turn to get interviewed
by Paige.

My daughter is making a film
of the worst week of my life.

Yeah, you know what?
We should do something for Rebecca.

At this point, any good news
is reason for celebration.

What good news?

Way to go, bro. Spoil the surprise.

You know that job she was up for?
She got it. At Maddox Thompson.

Oh, yeah, employment's way up.

I just spoke to Sergio Acosta
to thank him for hiring Pedro

and see if he had any more openings.

- Why don't you seem happy about that?
Why don't you tell him?

- I had to do it.
- You can't give away company assets.

- Hold on. What's going on here?
- Just a little embezzlement by our sister.

Oh, it's not embezzlement.
Come on, Kev.

Don't kid yourself.
Because you think it's a good cause,

- that doesn't make it right or legal.
- Hold on. What did you give away?

She gave $100,000
to Sergio Acosta in trucks.

You just gave him company trucks?

He assured me
that he would hire our crew.

Are you nuts?
They don't even belong to you.

They belong to the company
and the company failed.

That's why these people are out of work.
So the company can take the damn hit.

I know what I'm doing.

I don't think
you have any idea what you're doing.

How are you gonna account
for the trucks? They flew away?

- I was gonna pay for them myself.
- Really? How?

I was gonna sell my house, okay?

Sarah, listen to yourself.

I mean, you are so far over the line,
you don't even see it.

These people are my responsibility.
When you were up in Seattle,

I had to live with my inability
to save this company every day.

And it's not their fault. It is my fault.

It is my fault and I am trying to fix it.

Sarah. Sarah, stop.

I'm sorry you didn't have your camera
with you, Paige.

You could've gotten the real story
about the end of Ojai.

Have you ever noticed that
the Democrats blame the Republican...?

I can pour you one of your own
if you'd like.

Oh, yeah. That would be great.
As soon as I finish yours.

Mm. I swear, I do not know how
you do this all the time.

I feel like I actually might vomit.

Okay, look.
You're just gonna breathe deeply

and make sure your knees don't lock.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Hey. Kev, what are you doing?

Kevin, you're not dressed.
We have to leave in like 30 seconds.

I know. Sarah had a meltdown
and it's pretty bad over there.

Well, is she okay?
I mean, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Is this a real meltdown
or a Sarah meltdown?

I'm saying
I really should get back there.

Yeah.

Yeah, no.
I think that I should come with you.

Sarah is really going to need
my moral support.

And, besides, she likes me a lot better
than she likes you. So, um, Robert?

You really think you should blow off
the Gold Rush dinner?

I think it's kind of important.

No. It's all about small businesses
and family.

I think I have the perfect excuse.
And besides, you're...

You're funnier than I am.

- I'm sorry, what'd you say?
- You're funnier than I am.

That's true.

- You can use my jokes if you want.
- Oh, absolutely.

Okay, let's go.

God, I hope that isn't a peace offering.
It's me that owes you.

No.

I went by the office.

Tommy told me what happened.

Yeah. Um...

I really screwed up, Mom.

Okay, you made some mistakes.

- Well, that's an understatement.
- What?

Who are you that you think
you're so important and superhuman

that you're the only one
that could have saved the company?

But I didn't save it, did I? So...

Look, I know how badly you feel,

but you push me away,
you push Tommy and Kevin away.

It's like you have to suffer alone.

Like your disappointment
is so much worse than ours.

It's not disappointment, Mom.
It's shame.

I failed.

Completely.

I'm just trying to work out
how I live with it.

Oh, sweetheart.

Sweetheart, I know what failure is.

But as hard as it is,

I think you have to lean
into those feelings.

You haven't had much failure
in your life, Sarah.

It takes practice to get good at it.

It hurts like holy hell.

But it's important. It's the door
that will lead you to your future.

I just don't know how to do that.

It's not who I am.

You see? I'm a failure at failure.

No, honey.

I think you're being
spectacularly successful at failure.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, honey.

Oh, sweetheart.

Hey. So I just got off the phone
with Maddox Thompson.

They wanted to apologize
for not telling me

you were up for the same job
that I interviewed for.

I know. They called me too.
They were really embarrassed.

Mom, this is so unfair.
You're ten times more qualified than I am.

I'm not gonna take this,
knowing that you deserve it.

Don't even think about
turning that job down.

Okay, it stung a little.

But it's a much better fit for you
than it would have been for me.

- I just feel horrible.
- No, sweetie. I will be fine.

And I will find another job.

Actually, the only bright spot
in this terrible day

is knowing that you're going off
on this whole new adventure.

Really.

- Ugh.
- Hmm.

We were cleaning out the old desks
the other day

and, uh, I found this.

"Walker and Son Fine Produce. "
Ha, ha.

I made a bunch of these
when I was a kid.

I went to show Dad and he said that:

"That's right. Some day it will be. "

But, unfortunately, he was wrong.

Walker and Son and Daughter,
it, uh, doesn't have the same ring.

He was right to bring Sarah
into the business.

If I hadn't of worked so hard
to try to prove him wrong every day,

things might be different for, uh...

For everybody.

You know, you never told me
what was in this box.

Because I don't know what is in that box.
They gave it to me at the office.

It's from Roger Grant.

Oh, my God.

Sarah, I wanted to tell you.

I tried to convince him
to buy our building.

It didn't work.
He was not in the least bit interested.

Open it.

"Some women and some buildings
are classic.

Thank you for reminding me.

I thought you might enjoy
these original drawings

I did for William
when we were all very young. "

- Oh, that's so sweet.
- My goodness.

Oh, Sarah.

Here.

Oh, my goodness.

- Wow.
- Oh, look.

Ojai Foods offices.

Oh, you know,
these have all been done by hand.

Nobody does this anymore.

Oh.

There used to be a clock tower.

Yeah. Oh, William nixed that right away.

He said he didn't want a clock ticking
over his head,

reminding him how fast
the fruit was rotting.

What's this other?

Oh, my God. Mom.

Sarah.

Dad was gonna build something
at Narrow Lake.

A house.

Why the heck didn't he tell me?

I guess it was supposed to be
a surprise.

Or maybe he wasn't building it for me.

Mom, it's an anagram of your name.
Of course it was for you.

Now I'm really confused.

Why would Dennis York want the land
where William was gonna build a house?

I have no idea.

Look at this. "Nora's art studio. "

"Nora's sewing room. "

Over here,
"Nora's bathroom" on the second floor.

I can't believe
he was gonna build me a house.

This is more than house, Mom.

This is a love letter.

He really loved you.

You're allowed to lean into those feelings,
you know.

Yes.

I guess he did.

Nice job out there.

- You were very funny.
- Well, thanks.

They're a friendly group.

Sorry Kitty couldn't make it tonight.
I was looking forward to meeting her.

I think it's best
if we keep our relationship to ourselves.

Yeah. I thought so too.

That's why I was so surprised to hear
that you've been talking to Rawling.

A lot.

What was your plan?

Were you taping our conversations?

And who were you reporting to
besides Joe Rawling?

You are misinformed.

I'm very thorough when it comes
to a billion-dollar contract.

My conversation with Rawling
have nothing to do...

Here's the deal.

You walk back your plan with Rawling,

and you destroy whatever evidence
you've collected,

or I'll use every ounce of influence
I've got

to make sure your wife
couldn't get elected dogcatcher.

Good night, senator.

Say hello to Kitty for me.

I can't believe they're valuing Dad's desk
at 30 bucks.

Well, look at it. I don't think
it's worth anything to anyone but us.

Do you remember that wood-burning kit
you got me when I was 10?

Yes, I do because you went around
burning your initials

into every wooden object
you came near.

- Ah!
- I was staking my claim early.

You know what, sweetheart?
I think that you should have this desk.

Your father would have wanted you to.

Hey.
- What...? What...?

Hi.

- What about your event?
- I decided to let Robert cover for me.

- Is Sarah here?
- She's on her way.

- Is she okay?
- No, but I think she will be.

Come here. Look at you.
Oh, you really looking gorgeous.

God, this is such an amazing space.

Someone could renovate it
and turn it into lofts.

Honey, honey.
Could you please shut up?

That's all right. That's all right.
I'm reconciled.

I'm glad you came back.
I wanted to talk about something.

If this about you getting that new job,
I already know.

- And?
- And we gotta figure this out.

Because this is serious.

I feel like we're miles apart in where
we wanna be with our lives, Rebecca.

I didn't even know
you were interested in this job.

- You don't even know what the job is.
- Tell me about it.

Is everything okay with you two?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, it's fine.

Oh, my God. What?

Kitty. What happened to your dinner?

I just decided to take pity on the audience
and let Robert cover for me.

Well, we just all wanted to be here.

Well, um,
I'm glad you are all here because,

you know there's a couple of things
that I've wanted to say.

The first is,
I hope you can all forgive me.

- Oh, please, please.
- Oh, Sarah, would you stop?

Okay, okay.

Uh, well, the second is, we all know
Dad was an Irish whiskey man.

Um, I always kept a bottle at the house
in case he stopped by.

Kind of hoping
that you could help me finish it.

- That's a great idea.
- Mom.

That is something I'm actually good at.

- Uh, cups, cups. Cups.
- Tommy, get the cups.

You know, um, I still have to fix up
that whole truck mess.

No. No, you don't.
I spoke with Pedro this afternoon.

Oh, God, I've gotta call him
and apologize.

No, you don't at all because he actually
wants to buy the trucks himself.

He and his brother wanna go
into business.

They wanna take some of the crew.

So I showed them
how to get a small-business loan

- They're ecstatic.
- Yeah?

- Kevin, that's wonderful.
- Great symmetry, right?

One family business closes,
another one opens.

Well, that story actually
makes me wanna cry.

- To capitalism.
- Yeah.

I know what we should be drinking to.

Come on, Sarah.

No, I think you should do it, Uncle Saul.

To Ojai.

To Ojai.

To Ojai.

- Wow, this is a first.
- What?

This family speechless.

Good night, Ojai Foods.
