Her father owns half of Korea.

And her father's got

First of all, you're talking

Second, you know I can't

some of these stocks over

So I can get out from

You're not in some

We're gonna have to do

some creative accounting, honey.

You're not ready.

Janice, I'm so sorry, honey.

Um, something came up.

Order pizza, and I'll see

you all in a couple hours.

And Janice, tomorrow night, uh,

seating arrangements...

I'm sorry.

Promise.

Tomorrow, um, have fun.

Seriously?

Uh, yeah, she knows

I don't do fake food.

Whatever.

I'm gonna need you to

call Chez Sous Les Mielle Orves.

OK?

Maybe we could just get pizza?

I'm all for pizza.

No.

Um, and order me epinards

et concombre' allan grieg

with a side of focaccia. OK?

'Cause I need my protein,

and I would still like to

fit into my Vera Wang.

I have to go make a call.

OK, sweetheart.

Aaron, I'd like some of that

fuckachia bread, too, please.

Fuck you.

Wow, Aaron.

So what was that?

Spinach salad.

I'm not talking about Crazy.

I'm talking about Mom.

That was weird.

She was frazzled.

Well, you and the Diva are

gonna be sooo happy together.

Pizza!!!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha....

No. I hate my stomach.

I haven't been to the gym

in way too long.

I used to have a

pretty good body before kids.

I'm menopause.

I'd never look like you, though.

Wow.

This, this...

doesn't mean anything.

Rebecca...

I hate that I did this.

Why did you?

It was a birthday present,

from Mason.

He loves perfection.

Sort of the one thing

we have in common.

I've spent my whole life

trying to be perfect.

I never felt...

good enough or thin enough,

pretty enough, smart enough.

All of the things

that make us not perfect,

are what make us

so perfectly who we are.

That's who you are, Rebecca.

Per - fec - tion.

You make me feel that way...

my beautiful girl.

It's official...

She popped.

She looks like she's 26.

I tell you!

So exquisite.

Well, I am sextonished.

I'm so glad that's gone.

I was not a fan.

You've totally corrupted me.

I hope you're proud of yourself.

I feel like

I deserve a gloat!

It's so bad.

I took a girl to school,

and she got an A --

in muff diving. Awesome!

You know, we totally love you.

But you always...

had a redwood up your ass.

I think what Miss Humble

is trying to say, Becks,

is that...we just couldn't

be more thrilled.

Thank you.

I think you'd like my kids.

Jessica, is my first love.

I have Hank and Aaron.

Obviously, Mason was

a Hank Aaron baseball fan.

Byron is one

of my favorite poets.

Read to me, please?

"Do go and ask Maude

"It probably never

occurred to her...

"Dear Me, this act is over...

...our little secret, Maude."

Oooh...

Oh, really?

Mmm hmmm.

Where does this possibly

go from here?

I don't care.

Really.

For the first time ever,

Oh, my God.

What?

I missed dinner.

I didn't even call.

Just stop.

I'm sorry.

That was so amazing.

I am in love with your mouth.

They're gonna

be worried sick.

Thank you, Paris.

Thank you.

It's not like Mom not to call.

I'm starting to worry.

Yeah, she never

misses family dinner.

Maybe...they're together.

No, figuring out how to tell us,

and what to do....

Are we supposed to act

like we don't know?

Yes, I think we should.

So don't say anything to Mom,

or Dad, until they tell us.

All right.

[door creaks open]

Um, sorry. I, um...

I got stuck in the worst

freeway accident,

cellphone went dead.

Dad's not with you?

No.

Why? He's not here?

No, and we all know why.

You all know what?

Wait.

Give it to me...

What?

Let's not jump to conclusions.

This isn't jumping, Mom.

I was in Dad's office

before I left,

trying to find

a document for tomorrow.

I went through his desk,

I found this.

I know I shouldn't have,

but he's been having

all this trouble working.

Whoever's trying to turn

his company upside down

is succeeding, and that's what

I thought it was...

I thought all the late nights--

Yeah, his temper,

all the drinking...

Mom, you know.

Everybody just remain calm.

I need you to listen

to me very carefully.

You are not to say a word.

- What?! - Did you know?

You're not to say a word,

and I mean it!

I will talk to your father--

Right, 'cause you

talk about everything.

You will not breathe a word

until I've spoken with him.

Is that clear?

Sure.

This is gonna

change everything!

You're right...

It will.

How long have you known?

What?

What are you talkin' about?

How long have you known?

Well, what are you....

I've known

I went to see Dr. Weller.

Rebecca, you know

what this means.

I mean, for us,

for the family, for the kids...

The company, for Christ sake.

I think I do.

So, yeah, then.

Well...

We're gonna fix it then, right?

We're gonna fix it.

We'll fix it

before it's too late.

I hope you believe me,

and understand when I say,

I am so sorry.

I am truly sorry, Mason.

But I think we both know -

it's already too late.

He said it's cancer,

and it's metastasized.

I can't believe this.

Are you...sure?

Yeah.

What do you need from us?

To help me keep it together

for them - right now.

OK.

How do you do this

with so many people?

Strangers.

I don't 'do' this.

I know.

You don't like me digging...

But can't you make

a living another way?

I mean, look at you.

Seriously. You are gorgeous.

You are smart.

You're assured.

Why this?

I clear over $200,000 a year.

I make my own schedule...

And I get to give back.

Give back?

Give back?

I'm a little bit lost here.

Nothing.

No. What do you mean?

I want to know why you do this.

Why are you here?

I wanna know you.

Please don't take this

the wrong way,

and I don't expect

anything back, really.

I just want to say it...

one time in my life...

and really mean it.

I...

Love...

You.

Honey, it's time.

You need to tell me

what happened.

'Cause when I'm with you,

I'm like, really lost.

Aww...

In fact, look at that

You're extremely talented.

I was instructed

to give you this,

after the funeral.

I am so sorry.

Who are you?

I have to tell you -

In all of my years,

I have never

been stumped by a client.

Not once...until now.

OK, so here's the truth.

I watch a lot of soap operas.

So when I got your call,

at first I thought,

oh, that had to be

Ms. White's evil twin.

Or you were

going to blackmail Valentina,

which I do not recommend,

because that gal

is one crazy bitch.

My favorite - you're actually

looking for a ticket

on Valentina's

gravy train yourself.

No.

[both laughing]

Thank you...

I needed that.

And thank you

for meeting with me.

What can I do for you?

When the time comes, I'd like

you to give this to Paris.

It's a gift.

She'll know what it means.

You see her almost every day.

Why don't you give it to her?

No, I, um...

I haven't been able

to see Paris the last few days.

Ohhh, lover's quarrel.

Sorry.

Well, would you mind

losing the shades?

I can't see you.

It drives me nuts.

Ohh...

You really

tied one on last night.

This is important...

I want her to get out.

Did it ever occur to you

that we do this

because we like it?

That we're proud

of our trade?

That we've had opportunities?

You, yes.

But not Paris.

You really care about her,

don't you?

I'm in love with her.

Yes, you are.

But I hate to tell you,

you're not gonna be the last.

I need to be her last...

...client.

She trusts you, Sylvie.

She relies on you,

I know that.

I'm not gonna be

seeing Paris again.

Your husband found out?

No...

You want soap opera?

I'm dying...

Cancer.

I don't have

a lot of time left,

and I'm...

I'm beginning to have some

severe physical symptoms.

I don't want Paris

to see me like this.

I want her to remember me...

Of course you do.

Remember the good stuff.

Listen to me...

You have got

to say goodbye to her.

You have to.

You know that.

Look, you're scared.

You can't just disappear.

And I don't want you

to worry about Paris,

because I will

pick her back up.

I'm gonna put her

in my back pocket.

OK?

I'm gonna take care of Paris,
