All language subtitles for Beyond the Gates s01e178.eng

Let's celebrate, husband.

Yes, wife.

- No!
- [glass shattering]

Now, drink your tea.

So you're actually wishing that
your uncle had gotten rid of me?

I wish your mother had gotten rid of you,

because we'd all be living our best lives

if you'd never been born.

ANITA: Well, WinterFest,

it's a family affair.

"Affair" being the operative word.

Looking forward
to seeing you again soon.

Our last time together was

one for the record books.

- Hello, wonderful Mother.
- Hello, darling.

Hello, wonderful Sissy.

Oh, two "wonderfuls"?

L.A. must have agreed with you.

- Oh...
- Tell us everything.

Is Eric Forrester still

the same silver fox I remember him to be

when he fitted me
for the Soul Train Awards?

Now, he said he was no dancer,

but I got him to bust a move or two.

[laughs] I didn't see Eric

or anyone else at Forrester Creations.

None of the executives
wanted to be at the shoot?

There was no shoot.
I called, canceled the job,

and spent the week
honeymooning in L.A.

But I thought you were so excited

about your return to the runway.

That was the old Dani.

The new... or should I say
newlywed... Dani

decided to put her marriage first.

Your dinner invitation
made me a little nervous.

Oh, don't be.

This is to thank you
for all your hard work.

Not only have you made
valuable contributions

to several major cases,

but you've been a real
asset on the review board,

which we, unfortunately, had to form

because of that misbegotten
sexual harassment lawsuit.

I've also been trying
to keep an eye on the Duprees

like you asked,

but lately it seems like

you're more plugged into
what's going on with the family

- than I am.
- Hmm.

Well, I appreciate your efforts
to keep me informed.

You know, loyalty matters
a lot to me, Tomas.

And you've proven yours.

That's why I want to talk
about your future at the firm.

This damn presentation.

Anything I can help with?

Unfortunately, no.

Not unless you can make
these numbers make sense.

I have to present our stats

in the upcoming meeting with the mayor,

but arrests is down
five percent from last year.

I gotta find a way to swing that.

Maybe we can persuade him
that crime is down,

and the good guys are winning.

Well, we all know that's not the case.

It's more that we haven't found a way

to put the evidence together

that will satisfy the D.A.'s office.

It still gets to me that Leslie
Thomas is walking around free,

even though we all know
she tried to kill Laura.

But you upset about a perp

being on the wrong side
of your wife's family,

but not about any of the incidents

that worked out in the Duprees' favor?

Well, you know more

about those incidents
than I do, don't you?

And how they happened.

When you've won

as many departmental
commendations as Marcel,

then you can criticize him,
and not before.

I didn't mean any disrespect.

But the truth is, Marcel,

you'll be out of here pretty soon.

In due time.

Don't go acting like
I'm already history around here.

Well, your history is my point.

Don't you want to go out on a high

by bringing some
longtime perps to justice?

?

What are you doing here?

Do I need a reason to visit my daughter?

We both know
our relationship has changed.

And I want to change that.
I want to make amends,

and I want to start by you
spending Thanksgiving with me.

You want to spend Thanksgiving
with me and not Eva?

You remember that Chinese restaurant

that we used to go to for
Thanksgiving back in Chicago?

Mm, the one with the moo shu turkey?

It was bomb.

Well, I am hoping that
Thanksgiving at Orphey Gene's

is just as good.

Turkey day used to be

our mother-daughter thingy, remember?

Even when Alan was alive.

It's crazy how much
things have changed.

Like I've got a whole new family now.

Dad claims he wants me to be

as much a part of his life
as his other children.

As he should.

Yesterday, Martin told me
he wanted to get closer to me.

Oh.

Yet, somehow, still at Thanksgiving,

it's you and me against the world.

I thought you were determined not to let

your modeling career take a back seat

to your personal life this time.

I realized what I wanted

was to be the one making
decisions that affect my life.

I started so young

that it was modeling executives

making the choices. And then Bill,

and we all saw how that turned out.

This time...

I want to be the one in charge.

Well, I like what I'm hearing.

Andre was initially against
being in front of the camera.

He only changed his mind because
he wanted to make me happy.

So I decided to make him happy

by not pressuring him to do
something he didn't want to do.

I have complete confidence

that other modeling
opportunities will come along.

I am Dani Dupree, after all.

But this was my one chance

to show Andre that he comes first.

Well, it sounds like you and Andre

are building something really special.

I hope we are.

Because, to my utter surprise,

shock, and awe

I've fallen in love with him.

I'd like you to know
that I see myself at the firm

- for the long haul.
- Oh, I'm glad to hear it.

You know, frankly,

you remind me of myself at your age.

Always ready to establish
myself as one of the best.

I hope you won't mind if I say

I'd like to match you in excellence.

Oh, I'd be disappointed if you didn't.

You've already shown that you
can punch above your weight

when you filled in for me
while I was in the hospital

and when Chelsea was kidnapped.

- I was happy to do it.
- Yeah, good.

Well, I don't know if you heard,

but Hayley and I just bought
a new vacation home

in St. Barts, and I promised her

that I'd let work take a back seat

while we spend a few weeks there.

Can I count on you
to fill in for me again?

If I ever need a life coach,
I'll give you a call.

Until then, keep
your thoughts about my legacy

to your damn self.

My shift is over.

What the hell's gotten into you?

Marcel was a great cop,

and I'd hate to watch him
throw that reputation away.

And seeing Izaiah turn
his life around gave me hope

that it's possible for other people, too.

Yeah, well, I'll have to take your word

for this new and improved
Izaiah, since he seems to have

no interest in being a part of this family.

Have you tried to
really connect with him?

He knows where I am.

That boy turned down
his mother's invitation

to Thanksgiving dinner.

Talking about he's
taking her to lunch instead.

[muttering]

I hope we'll at least see
you and Naomi then.

Of course. We'll be there
for dessert and football.

But after the pre-dinner
at the country club.

Your mom and I are
taking Great-Aunt Francine

a home-cooked meal
to the retirement home.

Poor thing, they keep giving her

pumpkin pie instead of sweet potato pie.

I'm sure she'll appreciate that.

Yeah, well, it's the only way
we're gonna get rid of

all this food that your mother's making.

I swear, this woman still cooks

like you and your brother
are still living at home,

eating your way through
anything and everything.

Man, I'd never turn down a piece
of Mom's sweet potato pie.

I'm sure she made one just for you.

- When's Luke coming to town?
- He's not.

He volunteered to work
the Thanksgiving shift

for the Detroit PD

so the officers with kids
can have the day off.

Well, maybe Izaiah will change
his mind and show up after all.

Maybe pigs might whistle
and meatballs might bounce.

Your brother's way too busy
up there with his new life

and new career to spend a holiday with

his own mother.

?

Whatever race you were running,
you definitely won.

But you could catch me, though.

I hated that I had to rush off
the last time we saw each other.

How's Peaches doing?

Oh, my dad was able to
get her into a drug trial

that they think might
reduce some of her symptoms.

Now that has to be a relief

- to you and your mother.
- Yeah.

I don't know Peaches very well,

but she's come to mean a lot to me.

Partly because she's the only person

who can keep my mother in line.

But I'm afraid when Peaches is gone,

my mother's obsession with my dad

will go from bad to worse.

Maybe I'm being naive,

but I want to share the holiday
with both my daughters.

That's not naivete, that's stupidity.

You don't want me
across the table from Eva

with a knife in my hand.

Okay, I knew that would be
your initial reaction,

but hear me out.

If you and Eva can get along this holiday,

I'm hoping there'll be more.

Listen, Kat, baby, I think you'd be happy

if you just let go of
that anger towards Eva.

People keep saying I'm the selfish one,

but you're asking me
to ignore my feelings

so you can have
the Thanksgiving you want.

I just want to create some good
memories for the three of us.

You mean for Eva.

For an instant, I actually believed

you spending the holiday with me

meant I mattered again.

Like I came first for once,

since you found out
Eva was your daughter.

I guess I'll have to learn
to accept the fact

that I'll always take second
place to Eva from now on.

I value all my children equally.

Which means, to you,

"all Eva, all the time,"

until you feel like you've made up

for not being around
while she was growing up.

Why am I the one that
always has to change?

To accept?

[sighs]

You decided you wanted to have

a relationship with Eva. Fine.

I can't stop that.

Although I know it means
I don't matter that much

to the person I believed understood me

more than anyone else.

You have been my miracle
since the first day

you opened up those big,
beautiful eyes and smiled at me.

I understand you,

and I love you dearly.

If you did, you'd know how much

all of this has destroyed me.

Well, I'm choosing myself.

I'm not gonna subject myself
to Thanksgiving with Eva.

You and Hayley have
a great time in St. Barts.

- You can leave the office to me.
- Okay.

A word of warning, though.

Hayley will probably be
so grateful that she'll try

to get Caroline to give you
some of her special herbal tea.

Pass... I'm an espresso man.

I'm much more effective when
you're burning the midnight oil.

Mm. You see,

that's the kind of work ethic
that partners are made of.

I am surprised to hear you
use the word "love"

with someone other than Bill.

When Bill left me,

I-I thought my heart
was broken for good.

But somehow Andre managed
to put the pieces back together.

I convinced myself it was just
a friend-with-benefits thing,

easy, no strings.

But the real gift turned out
to be the friendship.

Maybe there's something to that

whole marrying your best friend
idea after all.

Love is wonderful.
Children are everything.

But liking your partner,

that's the glue
that holds a couple together.

It's easy to be with Andre
because he doesn't expect me

to be anything but my authentic self.

We even decided to go
all in on our commitment

by getting real wedding rings.

- [laughs]
- Gorgeous.

Well, we wanted them to reflect

our relationship and be
something totally unique.

I never knew how good it would feel

to have a man in my life
who loved all of me,

flaws and all.

With Bill, I always felt like I had to be

the perfect trophy wife.

?

Hello there, pretty lady.

Looks like I'm not the only one
getting my drink on

before being trapped with family

for Thanksgiving. Am I right?

Well, I am having a drink,

it is before Thanksgiving,

so you got that much right.

This is how I always mess up.

Coming on too strong.

I hope I didn't offend.

No offense taken.

My daughter says
that sometimes I can be...

Have we met before?

I don't think I've had the pleasure.

I never forget a face.

Give me a minute. I'll figure it out.

If you do, I'll buy you another round.

Challenge accepted.

You are a cop.

That's right.

Is that a problem?

Look, let me call Izaiah
to try to convince him

to spend Thanksgiving with the family.

Don't waste your breath.
That boy have not stepped foot

in our house for a holiday
since high school.

I don't want you begging him for a thing.

It'll just be me telling my brother

that we'd love for him
to spend more time with us.

You shouldn't have to ask.
The boy should know

how much his mother misses him.

Just Mom?

Yeah, okay.

I shouldn't be surprised
he don't have the nerve

to come around the house.
Him and his bad attitude.

I don't think he would've
accepted the job at Banneker

or moved back to D.C. if he wasn't trying

to connect with all of us.

I know y'all don't see eye-to-eye,

but you're still family.

That's gotta mean something.

I think you're underestimating

the influence you have over Your mother.

I mean, I've only known you a little while,

but you've already had
a pretty big influence on me.

Oh, really?

A huge chunk of my brain
is filled with thoughts about

what could've happened
if we hadn't been interrupted

after that kiss.

And how do you think things
would have gone down?

In my mind, it got pretty wild.

[both laugh]

So you're saying that I'm literally

the woman of your dreams?

It may sound corny, but it's the truth.

In my fantasy, after that first kiss,

I was so intoxicated
by the feel of your lips,

I had to go back for more.

You're incredibly special, Eva.

Okay, you are laying it on pretty thick.

And I'm dead serious and willing to do

whatever it takes to prove it to you.

[Ted clears throat]

I am really looking forward
to Thanksgiving dinner.

Have you spoken to the children yet?

I want to let the staff here
know how many

place settings we'll need.

It's the hospital. I need to take this.

I won't let you down. I'm serious about

- wanting to make partner.
- Okay.

Well, mind you,

you will need a little more
experience under your belt.

And I hope by the time
you're ready to be a partner

that your personal life can be a...

I don't know, a source of
support and stability for you.

After what happened with Mike,

I want all my partners to be
family-oriented.

Family has never counted for much

as far as Izaiah's concerned.

Come on, Pops, you're going too
hard on him like you always do.

- A lot of teens rebel.
- You didn't.

And you two was raised
the exact same way.

No, Izaiah wasn't happy unless
he was stirring up trouble.

He just wanted to do things his own way.

Which was usually the wrong way.

Your brother Luke raised hell
when he was growing up, too,

but that was just to have fun,

blow off a little steam with his friends.

Izaiah? Izaiah did things
to get himself arrested.

And why? All because
he wanted to embarrass me.

I don't know what I did
to make that boy despise me so.

He didn't despise you, Pops.

He was desperate for your attention.

He felt like I was the golden child,

whatever that even means.

Look, I have never
favored any of my children.

And I gave Izaiah plenty of attention.

Did everything I could to keep that boy

on the straight and narrow.

I'm just saying,

you had high expectations for all of us.

And I'll be honest, sometimes it felt

impossible to live up to them.

Mm. And I refuse
to apologize for being tough.

We live in a world that
don't cut Black boys any slack.

You gotta work twice as hard
to get half as much, I know.

I pushed you boys to be
the very best that you can be,

and I'm very proud of the way
that you and Luke turned out.

Really?

Because you don't always act like it.

You get enough compliments
from your mother.

And don't be late for dessert tomorrow.

It'd be rude to keep your mother waiting.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

I haven't had the best luck
with the police in this city.

I can understand that.

'Cause you look like trouble to me.

[Leslie chuckles]

Well, I'm just one of those women

that is unafraid to go after what I want.

Ah. Some people don't like that.

Including a self-righteous
little piece of detective

named Jacob Hawthorne.

If you'd stopped at self-righteous,

I'd have known just
who you're talking about.

He and I used to be partners.

Mm. Yeah, well.

He is trying very hard to arrest me.

Typical.

He tends to

go after anybody who
doesn't meet his standards.

He's been a thorn in my side, too.

That's why we're no longer paired up.

So he's out to get you, too, huh?

The last thing I want to
talk about right now is my job.

I just came here to have a drink

and a little company.

When you sat down, you mentioned that

you're dreading Thanksgiving.

Now, I used to be a bartender,

which means that
I am a very good listener.

So, if you need a friendly ear,

feel free to use mine.

I'm Eva's father. And you are?

Uh... Hello, sir, I'm...
I'm Izaiah Hawthorne.

Jacob's little brother.

I remember you from the wedding.

There was an incident where you...

Well, he has a good job
at Banneker now,

and he's been a really great friend to me.

So, please be nice to him.

Well, as long as he's nice to you,

we won't have a problem.

Eva, there's something
I need to talk to you about.

I'm due for a fresh juice anyway.

- Yeah.
- But it was good to meet you, sir.

- Catch you later, Eva.
- Bye, Izaiah.

You acting all overprotective
came as a surprise.

It's a dad's job, so get used to it.

Think I could.

Well, I've got a lot of catching up to do

to make up for all the years
we didn't get to spend together.

So, starting with Thanksgiving.

Full disclosure:

I also invited Kat.

Now, she turned me down,

but I'm hoping she'll reconsider.

I'd love to have
Thanksgiving with you, Dad,

but I've already made plans with Mama.

And I just can't abandon her,
especially on the day

that's supposed to be all about family.

What brought on that evil expression?

I've been trying my best
not to let the situation

between Dad and Eva get to me,

but he's making it impossible.

- What did he do now?
- He had the nerve

to ask me to spend
Thanksgiving with him and Eva.

I'm sure that came as a surprise.

Understatement.

I came here hoping
a run on the treadmill

will calm me down enough

that I won't want to cut him
out of my life completely.

I mean, the nerve.

Why would he think I'd give up
dinner with my family

to stare in Eva's lying, cheating face?

Actually...

I think it would be a good idea.

I suppose there's no harm
in a little conversation.

And I'd like to learn about you, too,

starting with your name.

Leslie Thomas.

And you are?

Marcel Malone.

Well, Marcel, anything
you say to me is as safe

as if you were confessing to a priest.

Only without all that celibacy.

In fact, there's a doctor
I've got my eye on.

- Hmm.
- Now

what's your problem with Thanksgiving?

Well, all my wife and I do
these days is fight.

And lately, she's been talking about

wanting out of the marriage.

Well, if it's that bad,
I'd say go for the divorce.

Can't.

I got my retirement all mapped out.

Sailing the Caribbean.

But if my wife takes half my assets,

I won't be able to afford it.

I see.

Well, it'd be a shame if,
after all that planning,

that you don't get everything you want

in the end.

I'm so sorry you have to see Bill

so soon after getting home.

DANI: Actually...

Bill called while I was in L.A.

He wanted to talk
about emceeing WinterFest.

Speaking of which,

while I was on a shopping spree
in Beverly Hills,

I ran into my good friend
Damone Roberts.

- Stop it.
- [chuckles]

The eyebrow king himself?

He's got Rihanna
and Beyonc� on his client list.

Okay, you got my attention.

Okay, Mother, you never cease
to amaze me.

Well, get this.

I was chatting,
and I brought up WinterFest

you know, to try to get another
to-die-for auction item.

He not only agreed to donate
a brow package, but he said

- he wanted to attend.
- [gasps]

That would be quite the coup.

Please tell him we will
gladly accept his offer.

I'll call him tonight.

And, while this truly is wonderful news,

don't think I have been distracted

from my initial thought.

Now, how was your conversation
with Bill on your honeymoon?

It was fine.

I don't want to jinx it, but

after years of marriage,
divorce, and mutual hostility.

I think Bill and I are learning

we can peacefully coexist.

Well, I hope you're right.

But I don't know if Bill
is capable of friendship

or any kind of relationship
without a hidden agenda.

I'm sorry, what do you mean
by family-oriented?

Mm, look.

I'm not saying that
partners have to be married

or have children.

That would just be setting
the firm up for another lawsuit.

But I do think it's best that they have

an established, committed relationship

so there won't be
any outside distractions

or potential scandals.

I know.

I live in a glass house,

which is why I'm being
so transparent here.

I don't want my partners
repeating my mistakes.

And besides, there are
different expectations

for partners than for an associate.

You'd be expected to, you know,

do more rainmaking,
socialize with clients,

and clients crave stability.

If they're dealing with an attorney

who seems more settled down,

then that means that they're
more likely to listen to advice

and pay their substantial bills.

I don't think my personal life
is a distraction on any front.

Besides, Kat and I have
been dating for a while.

Yeah, not without a lot of ups and downs.

Or so I've heard.

Which often happens in the
early stages of a relationship.

Okay, look,

I'm not blaming you, okay?

Kat, like all the other Dupree women,

has a strong personality. I know that.

But I want you to keep in mind
how your personal life

can affect and impact your career.

I can't believe you think
I should spend Thanksgiving

with Dad and Eva.

I know it wouldn't be easy,

but it might be a first step
towards making peace

with your half sister's place
in your father's life.

You don't want to spend
Thanksgiving with me?

Of course I do.

But I'm thinking about the big picture.

First, Dad said he's not going
to spend Thanksgiving with me

if Eva's not a part of the deal.

And now, my own mother is
trying to kick me out

of the family dinner.

It's like I'm everyone's afterthought.

You know that isn't true.

But the family dynamic has changed,

and we all have to adjust to that.

I think the gym will give me
more comfort than here.

Although, the way my day is going,

Eva will probably pop up
on the treadmill next to me.

[sighs]

I packed your things.

Because I can't live
with somebody I cannot trust.

You... You can't just kick me out.

Well, I guess you better call your father.

Maybe you need to go stay with
him, and he'll take care of you.

I can't believe I'm saying
this for the first time, but

happy birthday, Eva.

IZAIAH: Everything good
with you and your dad?

Uh, yeah. He asked me to
spend Thanksgiving with him.

Then why do you look bummed?

Because my mother would crash out

if I chose my father over her.

So you turned him down?

Had to.

For my money, the guy's got
the father thing down.

I thought he might forbid me

to come within a hundred feet of you

after he caught us almost kissing.

[laughs]

Since he's missed out on prom
and first boyfriends,

I guess he's decided now is a good time

to treat me like a teenager.

Can't say I blame him.

I know I don't have
the best reputation in town.

Might have to show him
I'm a changed man.

One worthy of his precious daughter.

Well, first you'd have
to prove to that daughter

- that she should keep you around.
- Mm.

Well, why don't we pick up
where we left off?

[phone buzzing]

[sighs]

You know, I'm never more at peace

than when I'm with Sheila.

I just can't lose her.

I thought you said all y'all do is fight.

Oh, no, no.

Sheila's my boat, not my wife.

But I'm worried that
my worst half is gonna

ask for custody of Sheila in the divorce.

Does your wife like to sail?

She gets seasick at
the sight of the ocean.

The woman just can't
stand to see me happy.

- She sounds like a real bitch.
- Mm.

I wouldn't say all that, but...

I ain't mad that you said it.

[chuckles]

Your wife sounds
a lot like a woman I know.

A judgmental shrew
who drove her husband away,

then got mad and
got her panties in a bunch

when she learned that he had a kid

with a woman who
actually understood him.

I bet your wife would be
equally mad if you show up

with a new lady on your arm.

Old dude like me?

Old? [Laughs]

Mature, masculine,

and a good conversationalist.

That's very appealing.

Who knows?

I just might be sunbathing

on Sheila's deck.

I thought you said you had

something going on with some doctor.

Ah, it's a situations hip.

Now, unless he makes it exclusive,

I'm a free agent.

I'll let you get that.

What's up, bro?

What are your plans for Thanksgiving?

Takeout and chilling on my couch.

I know you got a dinner invite.

Why eat takeout alone?

Because it'll be more pleasant

than getting into yet
another argument with Pops.

We all know how that movie ends.

You have a point.

Mom never appreciated
her homemade biscuits

being thrown across the room.

Yeah, she didn't speak
to any of us for days.

Now, it was nice of her to invite me,

but she'll be happier without me there.

What about Pops?

I know he'll never admit it,
but that old man misses you.

He hides it well.

How about a compromise?

Spend Thanksgiving
with some of your family.

Naomi and I are having dinner
with the Duprees.

You should come by.

I wouldn't want to impose.

It's at the country club, so
adding another plate won't hurt.

Pull up, bro.

Why spend Thanksgiving alone
if you don't have to?

All right, I'll think about it.

I'll catch you later.

I ran into Kat in the lobby.

Ted asked her to join him
and Eva for Thanksgiving dinner.

Oh, hell no.

Unfortunately, that was her reaction, too.

And when I suggested she reconsider

and take him up on his offer,

well, that didn't go over too well.

Well, of course, Kat is
having a hard time adjusting.

She has a surprise
half sister who's her age.

I think she started
coming to terms with it,

until she heard her call him "Dad."

That would've set me off, too,

her laying claim to him like that.

I think Eva's taking a page
out of Looney Leslie's playbook.

Oh, do not compare the two.

Eva is a sweet girl who just wants

to build a relationship with her father,

and she should.

Even if it devastates your daughter?

Kat is a lot stronger
than you give her credit for,

and she needs to adjust
to the fact that Eva is now

a part of her father's life.

She needs to see that
Ted having a relationship

with Eva doesn't diminish his love for her

any more than his relationship
with Martin does.

My mother used to always say,

the heart has the ability

to stretch beyond human understanding.

Kat will always have
a special place in Ted's heart.

And the one thing Dupree women
did right was choose men

despite their flaws

who are excellent fathers.

Kat, what's wrong?

Oh, I have a Thanksgiving dilemma.

Lay it on me.
Maybe I can help you solve it.

Dad asked me to spend
Thanksgiving with him and Eva,

and, like I said,

I'm really trying to go along to get along,

so I was seriously considering it.

But then I mentioned
the idea to my mom,

and she's, of course,

used to spending Thanksgiving with me.

[sighs] I... you know,

hate to choose between my parents.

I might have a solution to your dilemma.

- [laughter]
- BILL: Ladies.

I hope I'm not interrupting, but, Dani,

I thought we could finish our
conversation about WinterFest.

You know, you continuing in your role

as emcee is solely due
to Dani's insistence.

I do now.

And I'm glad that Dani didn't lobby

for Andre to take over that role.

- You being emcee is tradition.
- Mm.

Well, I hope the rest
of your honeymoon went well.

It did indeed. Thank you for asking.

I still can't believe
how happy it makes me

to talk about my marriage to Andre.

Who'd have thought?

We're well on our way
to happily ever after.

A great way to avoid
picking one parent over another

would be to spend Thanksgiving with me.

What? I thought you had plans with

the associates from the firm.

You're much better company.

There's a great little bed
and breakfast in Chesapeake Bay

where we could
spend the whole weekend.

Oh.

I'm so happy you want to spend
the holiday with me and only me.

I've seen the size of the rooms,
no one else could fit.

- Mm.
- I suggest

you let both your parents know

that you've got a better offer.

I accept!

Good.

The two of us are getting serious,

and it's time everyone knows it.

Sorry about that.

My brother was trying to nag me

into spending Thanksgiving with him.

Why don't you?

I don't have that kind of
connection with my family

that you have with yours.

You get along a hell of a lot better

with your brother than I do with Kat.

I suppose it could distract me

from spending all the holidays
missing you.

It seems like fate
keeps getting in the way of us

going out on a real date.

Maybe fate is trying to help us out.

All this stopping and starting

is building anticipation that I don't think

reality could ever satisfy.

Why don't we put it to the test?

Yeah, let's lock in a plan

and get together after the holidays.

We can meet here, compare notes on

whose family gathering was crazier,

- and see where things go.
- Bet.

Looking forward to it.

Until then,

I think we need a little
something to hold us over.

The doctor I was just
talking about just showed up.

So I better get going.

But it was really nice talking to you.

Some other time.

Who knows, maybe I'll think of you

when I'm making a donation

to the Police Booster League.

- A big one.
- Oh.

I'm very rich.

[chuckles]

Hey there, Teddy Bear.

You do realize that guy you were
sitting with is a cop, right?

[chuckles]

What'd you do now?

- Ha ha.
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, that Marcel is all
about serving and protecting.

Sorry if seeing me with
another man made you jealous.

Your personal life is your business,

but I hope you don't mind me
honing in on one aspect of it.

Hone away.

I want to spend Thanksgiving
with Eva this year.

I know you two usually
spend the holiday together.

Would you mind if I join you this year?

That would make the holiday,

for our daughter, I mean.

We were planning on
going to Orphey Gene's.

Great.

Dinner is on me.

Well, this is going to be
an unforgettable Thanksgiving.
