I bet we've been together for a million
years.

And I bet we'll be together for a
million more.

Oh, it's like I started breathing on the
night we kissed.

And I can't remember what I ever did
before.

What would we do, baby, without us?

What would we do, baby, without us?

And there ain't no nothing we can't love
each other through.

What would we do, baby, without us?

Sha -la -la -la.

Yeah, I'm on this great diet.

It's really healthy.

All you eat are vegetables.

I hate to break this to you, Mal, but
coffee cake is not a vegetable.

Alex, do you mind? This is none of your
business.

I'll start my diet till tomorrow.

What have you two been doing to this?

Well, I've been taking off the nets and
the raisins, and Mallory's been digging

out the poppy seeds and then taking off
the icing.

Then we're going to eat it.

What is this, an assembly line for
destroying coffee cakes?

You know, I can't believe how
inconsiderate you two are.

We all share the same food in this
house.

Show a little consideration for other
people.

Hey, kids. Hey, Danny.

Would you guys mind setting up dinner in
the dining room tonight? An old friend

of mine is going to be joining us. Who's
this?

Richie Schofield. Great guy. Haven't
seen him in over 20 years.

Oh, no, is this that guy who tells those
boring stories about when you and he

went camping in the Adirondack
Mountains?

No, you're thinking of Marty Randall.
Richie and I knew each other from

Oh, so we're going to be hearing boring
Berkeley stories.

Yeah!

Right.

Richie and I and your mom and 12 other
people shared a house in Berkeley back

1963.

Wait a minute, 15 people living in the
same house?

There's nothing to be proud of, Danny.

They weren't always the same 15, Alex.
People drifted in and out all the time.

Oh, as long as you kept it to 15.

Any more than that, you lose your good
housekeeping feel.

I just hope your mom remembers him.
Richie was really more my friend than

Oh, Richie and I had some great times
together. We'd go to Giants games, see

Willie Mays, Bob Dylan concerts.

You probably saw Lenny Bruce's nightclub
act 20 times.

Did everyone back then have, like, a
job?

Those were very special times, Alex. We
were just taking each day as it came.

Trying to find ourselves.

Must have been tough with all those
people in there.

Hi, honey.

Please.

Guess who called me today? Out of the
blue.

Uh, wait to narrow it down for me a
little?

Berkeley.

1963. Bob Dylan concerts.

Bob Dylan called you?

No.

At least you're not going to believe
this. Richie Schofield.

Richard Schofield?

Really?

Huh. You remember him, don't you? Oh,
yeah, yeah, of course.

Oh, great. He's in town until Wednesday
on business. He looked me up, gave me a

call. I insisted he stay with us. He'll
be here any minute.

Richard Schofield.

Oh, here he is.

Oh, kid!

Oh, man, am I glad I called. Oh, me too.

Hello.

Elise?

Wow.

I thought people were supposed to age.
You look great.

Oh, you look great too, Richie. Oh, boy,
I'll say.

Oh, thanks.

Hey. Oh, Rich, I'd like you to meet our
kids. This is Alex, Mallory, and

Jennifer. Hi, Richie Schofield.

Listen, Dad, in honor of the occasion, I
dug this up. A little dinner music.

Bob Dylan!

I haven't been able to find this for
months. Yeah, I know. I hit it.

Here's one of the old houses we lived in
on Fenton Street.

Oh, wow.

Look at that. These pictures are
fabulous, Richard. You guys all lived in

house? Does she have to be exposed to
this?

It was really wonderful.

You know, a big group of friends all
living in the same house, sharing

everything.

Wait a minute.

You all had to share one phone?

All right, all right. Let me set the
scene for you, girl.

Indian love beads hanging in the
doorway.

Cheap incense burning.

A baby named Moonbeam running around in
tie -dyed diapers.

Everybody living day to day like a pack
of idealistic unemployed vagabonds.

Well,

did I get it right?

pretty close, except the baby's name was
Alex.

I'm kidding, honey. It was before you
were even born.

Yeah, well, don't even joke about that.

I got something here you're gonna love,
Richie. You kids are gonna love it, too.

What is it, Dad?

Just listen.

Ah!

Constant sorrow.

I've seen trouble all my days.

It's a real pick -me -up, Dad.

Sure you got it on the right speed?

Give it a chance.

I'm out of here.

Great kids you guys.

Keepin' comin'. Oh, thanks.

Hey, what about your daughter?

Oh, she's fine. I don't get to see her
as much as I'd like to since the

but we're close.

How long has it been since the divorce?

Twelve years.

Twelve good years.

Here's a picture of your old VW camper.
Oh, yeah. That thing took us everywhere.

Well, not quite. Remember when it broke
down on the Bay Bridge?

Hey, it was a good spot. We had a
picnic.

Yeah, we did. I don't remember that.

Elise, do you remember the day I sold
this thing?

Oh, yeah, we drove out to Sausalito, and
then we had lunch at the pier. And then

we took the ferry back.

Huh. You know, you'd think I'd remember
this.

Look,

Beckett. Oh, I love that dog. He was so
smart.

We had a dog?

Can I see that?

Oh,

that was Elise and me and Beckett at a
rally or something.

Uh -huh.

I don't remember it.

You were in Alaska for a few months,
Stephen, working on a newspaper or

something like that.

Uh -huh.

Gee, Rich, I thought you'd moved out of
the house at that point. I had.

I still came around a lot, though, to
see this lady.

Uh -huh.

This lady?

Our fling.

Bill faded, but hey, we were kids,
right?

I bet you two have had a few laughs
talking about that.

Not that many.

Well, Andrew's still asleep.

He may wake up later, though. He took a
very long nap this afternoon.

I cannot believe that you're going to
make an issue out of this.

An issue of what?

Do you know very well what?

I'm just minding my own business,
getting ready for bed, Elise.

Thinking of Beckett, the dog I never
knew.

Do you remember the conversation we had
when you took that job in Alaska?

I told you I didn't want you to go, but
you said, Elise, we need this time apart

to see other people.

You said that was the only way that we'd
know if we really loved each other

enough to get married.

You were the one who wanted to see other
people, Stephen.

Not me.

You.

Evidently, you warmed up to the idea.

We went our separate ways, Stephen, and
I never once asked you who you saw

during that time. I was in Alaska, Lisa.
I saw snow during that time.

The point is, I never asked you. You
should have told me. Damn it, this is a

hell of a way to find out.

Stephen, how could I tell you?

The day you came back from Alaska, we
were just so happy. happy to see each

other. We decided right then and there
to get married. But the last thing on my

mind was what happened between me and
Richard.

How about the 22 years since then? Been
too busy?

Well, what was the point?

It was history. It had no bearing on our
relationship.

It was not important. Oh, no, no, no,
no, no. I don't buy that, Elise. You

a relationship with someone else even if
it's when we're apart. It's important.

Well, Stephen, exactly how much of my
past am I supposed to open up for your

inspection, huh? How far...

on Norbert Goldman.

Great. Is he coming over tomorrow night?

Where are you going?

To sleep in the den. We don't have a
den. We turned it into Andrew's room.

Well, then Jennifer can bunk with
Mallory and I'll sleep in her room. She

bunking with Mallory. Richard's in her
room.

You're determined to make this difficult
for me, aren't you, Liz?

Is the cot still in the attic or have
you conveniently donated it to charity?

Good night.

I hate this. Why do they have to put all
these dates and nuts in this granola?

Well, it's called date nut granola.

I don't want to eat anyway.

I think Mom and Dad had a big fight last
night. I don't want to be out of here

before they come down.

What makes you think they had a fight?

Dad slept in the hall.

It was an accident, Dad. I was on my way
to the shower. I didn't expect you to

be draped across the floor.

Well, you should watch where you're
walking.

It's usually a very safe journey.

You know, if you're going to sleep in
the hall, you should put reflectors on

your pajamas.

Is the paper here?

It's still outside.

Reflectors on pajamas.

Could be a lot of money in that.

I hate it when Mom and Dad fight. It
makes me nervous.

Me too. It's terrible.

But where would the reflectors go?

In the collar?

Pocket.

Would you forget about the pajamas? Mom
and Dad obviously had a big fight.

Sure they had a big fight. These pajamas
could save lives.

Don't you care about this at all?

No, no, no. Look, these fights are
natural.

It happens once every four years. It's
very cleansing.

You'll hate it.

Let me tell you something.

At times like this, when they fight,
they're off balance. They need support.

And they're going to be looking to us,
their children, for validation and love.

Very vulnerable.

It's a perfect time to hit them up for
gifts.

You're a deep guy, Alex.

Well, I don't want to be around it.
Dad's going to come in. He's going to be

a bad mood. He's going to start yelling
at us about really unimportant things.

Why are there two open cartons of milk?

I've told you a hundred times, don't
open another carton until the first

finished. Who did this?

I did, Dad.

And I'm going to have to live with it.

The rest of my life.

Hi. Hi.

Well? Oh, fabulous. I love that cot.

It's almost as comfortable as sleeping
standing up.

Found this note in the living room.

It's a note from Richie.

Saying that he's out for a jog and he
wants to take us out to dinner tonight.

Dear Elise, I'm guest.

He doesn't say that.

You have to read between the lines.

But do you want to go or don't you?

I don't know. What if you want to talk
about your old fling?

It was not a fling. It was a friendship.

In the past, long forgotten.

I don't know. I saw the way you looked
at Richie last night.

Laughing.

Smiling.

Hanging on his every word, giving him
that look.

What look?

The look, the hello, Captain Romance
look.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Does this look familiar?

You look like Daffy Duck.

I can't do it, Ellie.

But I'm not crazy. There is a look.

Morning, guys.

Hello, Richard.

Morning, Richard.

Yeah, it is great to be here with you
two guys, just like old times.

Not exactly.

What do you mean, Stephen? What he means
is that before, we couldn't afford to

eat in a place like this. Right, honey?

Precisely, dear.

After 22 years of marriage, he can read
my mind.

22 years.

965 ,000 days.

Stephen, are you all right? He's fine.

He's hungry.

Gets a little light -headed when he's
hungry.

And stupid.

So, what do you guys recommend here?

I hear the hemlock is quite good.

Stephen, I have to talk to you. Will you
come to the ladies' room with me? Am I

missing something here?

What's going on?

Nothing, nothing.

Let's order.

Looks like a great salad bar.

You gonna go for that, Steve?

Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?

I go to the salad bar.

I take a long time picking out my
vegetables.

Get caught up in the bacon bits for half
an hour.

I'd be playing right into your hands,
wouldn't I, Rich?

I'm going to excuse myself and get a
closer look at that salad bar. Maybe

get back, things will have returned to
normal.

That's very nice, Stephen.

I hope you're happy. This is shaping up
to be the most embarrassing night of my

life. Well, maybe you should have
anticipated this night when you and Rich

having your little fling.

Will you please stop calling it a fling?
You make it sound like some cheap trip

down to Rio drinking margarita out of
people's slippers.

Is that what happened?

Stephen, you are being ridiculous.

You're jealous about someone I haven't
seen in years, and I wouldn't even be

seeing him now if you hadn't brought him
home.

What about Richie's divorce 12 years
ago?

Coincidence? Come on, who are we
kidding?

You waited because you didn't think I'd
put the two together, but I'm just a

little too smart for you guys, aren't I?

You're right, Stephen.

I confess, it was all just a ruse.

Our marriage, our fourth kid.

Just a scheme to distract you from my
other life with Richard.

I know.

Hi.

I'm back.

Great salad bar.

I love these olives.

They look good.

Oh, that's it. You gave him the look.

What look?

This look.

You look like Daffy Duck.

All right, forget it.

You two don't have to keep up this
charade for me. I'm leaving.

I know something's going on here.

Dad, what are you doing here? I thought
you and Mom were going out with Richie

tonight. We did.

What happened?

Well, I embarrassed your mother. I
embarrassed myself.

I embarrassed an old friend.

And as far as I can tell now, I'm
probably completely wrong.

So it's nothing new then.

What?

I mean, you know, it's nothing you
haven't been through before.

I guess not.

Listen, Dad, you know, you always told
me that it takes a big man to admit when

he's wrong.

Mm -hmm.

And to always try and keep a perspective
on things.

Uh -huh. To always respect the other
person's point of view.

Right. To understand your own
motivation.

Control your own worth in things. Yeah.
To always rise above.

Don't worry about it.

You got to pull through this.

And when you talk to mom, cry if you
have to.

You know, women like that.

So skin off your back and they think
it's sensitive.

How did my little prank go over?

How could you do this, Stephen?

I thought we had a bond of love and
respect between us.

An understanding that would preclude
anything like this from ever happening.

I'm insulted that you obviously don't
feel the same way.

I do feel the same way.

Oh, really, Will?

You have an interesting way of showing
it.

Embarrassing and insulting me and a dear
old friend in a public place, Stephen.

I'm not saying there isn't room for
improvement.

Stephen, stop it. What you did tonight
was absolutely indefensible.

I'm so sick and tired of it. I don't
want to hear another word about it.

Elise, I'm sorry, but I only did this
because you're the most beautiful,

exciting... woman i've ever met and
sometimes the passion i feel for you is

great it makes me crazy i'm listening

you

remember the first day we

met freshman year you were lost

you couldn't find your class

I had a map.

Unfortunately, it was a map of Spain.

So we spent the day wandering around the
town, getting ice cream, browsing

through bookstores, falling in love.

Oh, you were so beautiful.

You still are.

Even after all these years after...

All we've been through after everything
that's happened, I still can't believe

you picked me.

Go on.

Don't you see what I'm saying, Elise?
When Richie came here and I found out

about the two of you, it just went right
to the heart of all the insecurities

I've ever had about myself.

And about whether I'm good enough for
you.

Stephen, what do you think I've been
doing all these years?

Biting my time until I found someone I
really liked?

I don't want to become one of those
couples, Lace.

The ones that have settled, grown tired,
bored, where everyone else is more

exciting than the person they're married
to.

I don't want that either, Stephen.

I want there to be romance, bells going
off.

quick and pulchrous when I walk through
that door. I want that look. That look

is mine.

What look?

My look.

The one that's supposed to be only for
me. The look that tells me that we're

really meant to be together.

That I'm the one.

I have a look that says all that?

Yeah, I showed it to you yesterday.

I can't do it. You do it.

Now you look like Daffy Duck.

Stephen, forget the look. The look isn't
important.

What's important is that we trust each
other.

You're my best friend, Stephen.

I rely on you. I want you to rely on me.

I love you, Stephen.

Let's go upstairs.

I go upstairs.

Captain Romance.

That's the look.

Get a camera.

Sit, Ubu, sit.

Good dog.
