Okay, alright, hold on.

Someone has to say
something nice about my friend

Herb tonight, so I'm
going to give it a shot.

I have followed Herb Lee my whole writing
career.

I followed him through three publishing
houses.

I followed him when he started his own.

It's embarrassing to need your editor so
badly.

That's how much I followed this guy.

So I'm gratified to announce that he has
now followed me to central Connecticut.

Thank you very much.

I didn't follow you, I had three heart
attacks.

This was a pre-emptive strike against
decrepitude.

Well, whatever brought you here to the
beautiful Marigold retirement community,

I just want to say I'm glad that you're
here, right down the road from my place.

And as long as Pippa keeps making that
butterflied lamb, I'll do anything Herb,

I'll even candy for you if that's what it
takes.

That's fine, as long as I don't have to
play golf.

Okay wait a minute, just wait.

One more thing.

I just want to say something else.

I have no clue what it is.

I'm going I've known
Pippa Lee for 25 years,

and I think that I will
never really know her.

She is a mystery, an enigma.

Giving, caring, beautiful, intelligent.

The very icon of an artist's wife.

What are you talking about?

No, you are.

And who precisely is this artist that
Pippa's married to?

Exactly.

Yes, that's my point.

That's what it's come down to.

The one true artist's
wife left in the modern

world, and she ended
up with a publisher.

To Herb and Pippa and their weird new
condo.

Yeah, I just got three new poems.

Wonderful.

Well, if you'd ever like to show them to
somebody who's non-judgmental...

Oh, yeah, thank you.

Really?

I would...

That would be such a great idea.

I really wish Sam wouldn't keep saying
Daddy moved to be near him.

No, he's a satirist.

Anyway, nothing's going to put a dent in
Herb's ego.

See, you weren't worried about me.

It's time for dessert.

But, Herb, what is the real reason you
moved here?

Scaling down.

Making life more simple.

I've liquidated everything so
that when I go, Pippa and the

kids can get everything and
not give it to the government.

I thought you loved paying taxes.

I have to admit, I actually like this
house.

It's so easy.

Well, I'm glad you feel that way,
sweetie.

Oh, I can't help wondering how many people
have died here.

No problem at all.

As long as you're too adaptable.

You're the adaptable enigma.

To be perfectly honest, I've had enough of
being an enigma.

I want to be known.

Like many people, I have lived more than
one life.

So, we're going to have to start at the
beginning.

Shut up!

See the head?

Come on, one good push!

I'll fuck you!

My birth was marked by several unusual
occurrences.

First of all, I was covered in fine blonde
fur.

Why is she furry?

Oh, no, that's nothing to worry about.

When a baby's this late, it sometimes has
time to grow a little vestigial hair.

From the time that we were monkeys.

I had a monkey!

I had a monkey!

You can expect to have a beautiful baby
girl.

The hair is just vestigial, as I tried to
tell your wife.

You know, I'm sorry if it offends
you, Father, but we believe

that millions of years ago,
humans were covered with fur.

I know that.

So, is it a baby or a pet?

Suki knew my condition had nothing to do
with evolution.

It was all her fault.

Because my mother had a secret.

Her own little stash of sin.

How's my pal?

I'm okay.

Are you having a hard time living here in
Wrinkleberry?

It's strange having so much time on my
hands.

This place is so easy to maintain, but
there's going to be charity work I can find.

You want to move back to the city?

We just sold our apartment.

Well, we can get another one.

Are you serious?

No.

I'm just having a hard time thinking this
is the end of the line.

I think it's sort of romantic.

Starting all over, just the two of us.

So little stuff.

Must you always look at the bright side?

Can I get you anything?

Some carrot juice?

No.

What was that cheese we had for lunch
yesterday?

It was Vacheron.

I was so excited to find that at the
market.

I love that cheese.

Once I lost my furry coat, my mother was
so relieved that she became sort of

obsessed with my appearance.

She even took a drawing
course at the town hall,

the sole purpose of which
was making pictures of me.

Oh, sweetheart, you have the most
beautiful eyes.

I think God took all of our best features
and put them on your face.

Don't you move.

Almost done.

Why, you little turkey, turkey,
turkey, turkey.

Ouch!

Baby, it's true.

She dressed me up as angels.

Cowgirls, movie stars.

I was her prized possession.

You're real, real cool.

For you, I'm a fool.

Can baby be mine?

Honey, I will.

Can baby be mine?

Honey, you know I will.

Baby, be mine.

All of the time.

Oh, don't you know?

I love you so.

Glad you're my date.

With me, you're right.

Baby, be mine.

Honey, I will.

Baby, be mine.

Who else has a cake?

The cleaning lady.

I really, I can't see Miss
Fanning breaking in with a few

friends to have chocolate
cake in the middle of the night.

And the maintenance people.

You think it was me?

Do you think I'm losing my marbles?

I wasn't saying that.

I wasn't...

Hi.

There she is.

Hi, Daddy.

You look great.

Oh, thanks.

Hi, Mom.

Hi.

Hi.

Oh.

I'm starving.

Can I get the lamb chops?

You can get anything you want.

You want a drink first?

Yeah.

Oh, Ben says he can't make it until later,
so we should just order without him.

Okay.

Okay.

These are just word prints.

But... Oh, my God.

You get the idea.

That's incredible.

That's amazing.

And...

Were you on the door?

Where were you when you took this?

Yeah, I just waited there.

I mean, I knew they were coming back,
but...

That's incredibly powerful.

Yeah.

Look at this.

Um... Oh.

These are so...

These are wonderful.

Powerful.

Grace.

This...

Were you alone when you took these?

No, we had a guide.

You had a guide?

And I hitched a ride with, um,
Giles Oppenhauer a few weeks ago.

...with Giles Oppenheim.

With Giles Oppenheim?

Mm-hmm.

How'd you manage that?

Kind of adopted me.

Did you hear about that photographer that
got shot in Baghdad last week?

Uh-huh.

You heard about the bomb?

Ben, shut up.

What bomb?

No, it's nothing.

Yeah, she was with that Oppenheim
fellow... ...and they heard the whistle.

And he wanted to go
left, but she saw an alley

towards the right and
she pulled him towards it.

And that's when the bomb hit.

And they turn around and
what do you know, if they'd

gone left, they would have
been smashed to smithereens.

She thinks she's immortal now.

No, that's a complete distortion.

Why can't you just ever not say something?

I do not know.

Sweetheart, everybody knows you're a
killer, but you gotta be careful.

I mean, you have to use your common sense
out there.

I do.

Dad, look, there's no way that I'm not
gonna go back.

If you had seen what I saw, you would feel
the same.

You would want to give these people some
sort of dignity.

Just be careful.

Anyway, I'm going to Baghdad Saturday.

What's new with you?

I found a book.

A real cash cow.

Since when do you say cash cow?

I never said it because I never found one
before.

What's it about?

Oh, it's about war and romance and bad
weather.

Is it good?

Certain kind of good.

Highbrow for lowbrows or lowbrow for
highbrows.

Perfect summer eating for people with
multi-million dollar beach homes.

Used to be us.

Yeah, but we still wouldn't have read this
book.

So how about you, Ben?

How is your paper coming?

It's fine.

What's it about?

The right to die.

The right to die?

Or the right to kill.

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do A sweet

little kiss when we embrace
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do A

pretty little smile in your eyes Sookie's
energy was unflagging, day and night.

In spite of an apparently
weak thyroid, for which she took

pills at 7 each morning, 12
noon, and 4 each afternoon.

I was the only one who
knew she was secretly

pretending to be in a
commercial half the time.

Or a movie, and she was the star.

I thought she was absolutely perfect.

Mom, can I have some more milk?

Then there were days when Sookie shorted
out.

Like a run-down robot.

I always felt my real mother had
disappeared in those moments.

It scared me and made me angry.

I thought it must be my
fault that she was sad,

and it was up to me to
make her happy again.

I thought maybe you forgot to say
goodnight.

Her moods ruled my life.

Oh, hello, Dot.

Would you like some coffee?

Oh, no, I've already had some.

This is my son, Ben.

The lawyer.

Not yet.

Nice to meet you.

And Herb, you met her.

Oh, hi, Herb.

Oh, my lord.

That's Mr. Swaggart.

He needed to go.

Um, have a seat.

You know, there are other young wives
here.

You see them jogging around.

Is everything okay?

Well, yes, we're fine.

But my son, um, Chris...

In Utah?

Yes.

He might be coming east.

Oh, well, that should be nice,
if they would move near you.

Well, the thing is, he's had some kind of
crisis with his wife, and...

He's left her.

And he's... he's living in his car.

I just don't know what to do.

Oh, he was always sort of half-baked.

You know what I mean?

You know, it's painful, I know.

But sometimes you just have to maybe
accept they are who they are.

I mean, I... I feel that with my daughter.

You're right.

I knew that I should come to you.

You... I just had a feeling.

He's living in his car?

Yes, she said he was half-baked.

I wonder what that means.

It's cold.

It means half-wit.

Hello?

Hello, Marianne.

What?

What?

What?

No.

Tell him 45 is the absolute top offer.

Well, if he goes somewhere else,
he goes somewhere else.

Stop worrying.

Everything's fine.

You're doing a fantastic job.

Have a nice morning, Marianne.

Oh, God.

That woman's gonna drive me crazy.

Your blood pressure went from 120 over 90
to 148 over 100 in that one conversation.

Since when did you become a registered
nurse?

A little appreciation for your ministering
angel.

Would you like to go in and out of the
doctor's office every 15 minutes?

That woman's gonna drive me crazy.

We gotta change our number.

I need an office.

Can we get an office here?

What's the point of having an office?

The point is I spent 40 years building up
this company.

And they're crapping it up.

There are children there.

Absolute babies.

That way, if I had an office, I can be
there from 10 to 1.

I can talk to Marianne.

I can read my manuscripts.

And then when I come home, boom,
I'm retired.

That way, when you and I are together,
we're really together.

You had three serious heart attacks.

Is that not enough for you?

Yeah.

I gotta go.

Bye, sweetheart.

Bye.

See you.

What's happening here?

OK, if I'm losing my marbles, so be it.

But I need proof.

How long before he loses his mind
completely?

The Half-Baked Son is moving in.

Wonderful.

After the break of more.

Come on now.

Pippa!

Glad you could come by.

A little eye candy.

Thank you for having me.

That's for you and Dot.

I wish you would keep an eye on Dot.

She's having a hard time.

I know she talks to you.

Well, sure.

Um, where is she?

He won't come out!

Can you believe it?

A 35-year-old man hiding in his room when
his parents are throwing a party for him?

I told her this was a bad idea.

It's right down the hall.

A spare bedroom.

Get her to drink a Pepsi Cola or
something.

Okay.

Yeah?

Who is it?

Um, it's Pippa Lee.

I'm looking for Dot.

Oh, dear.

Um, hi, Dot.

Johnny asked me to find you.

Well, look at me.

I can't go out there.

I'm Pippa Lee.

Chris.

Oh, why are you putting that on?

I... I earned you that shirt I got you.

Excuse me.

There's something I need to do.

Where are you going?

He was the sweetest little boy.

I mean, you just can't imagine.

When you adopt, you just don't know what
you're gonna get.

Look out!

God, she didn't fall in.

Amazingly, it took me 16 years to figure
out what was behind Suki's personality.

She's taking Dexedrine.

Who is?

Mom.

What's Dexedrine?

Speed.

It's why she never sleeps, why she acts so
weird.

Mom doesn't act weird.

Mom, why do you take this stuff?

These pills, what do you take them for?

It's my medicine.

Put it back, please.

Chester told me it was speed.

Chester doesn't know what he's talking
about.

So what would happen if you didn't take
them?

I'd get fat.

Like Grandma Sally.

Is that what you want?

You all want me to...

walk around like some sick walrus?

No, no, no.

Why don't you just let me do my work?

Better yet, why don't you help me?

Why doesn't anybody around here help me?

The cross is made up of a vertical beam
and a horizontal beam.

The vertical beam points to the sky,
to the spirit.

The horizontal beam is the line of the
earth, of life on earth.

And that's what's so neat about Jesus.

He wasn't just the son of God.

I'd like to know what you're really like.

A real human being.

What do you mean?

Without that stuff...

Stop being so overdramatic.

You're blowing this way out of proportion.

So stop.

I don't care if you get fat.

It's my medicine.

Okay, fine.

Let's just hope I don't blow up.

Father, thank you for this food, for
the gift of being together as a family.

These beautiful children.

Suki's cold turkey lasted exactly one
week.

Thank you, Jesus Christ.

Who is the President?

Does anyone know who the President is?

Boys, I think we all know it's lawn mowing
day tomorrow.

Imagine a dinner like this that went on
for an entire year.

You two have your hunting tags, I know
you're very anxious to get out in the woods.

But we're not gonna do any of that until
we get done, so keep it up.

She was taking more and more of the stuff.

Well, I've done that.

I never knew who she was gonna be from one
minute to the next.

Are you clear?

I also would like for someone to take care
of me better.

Excuse me?

What is going on here, miss?

You can't dance to me, mom.

Can you dance to me, okay?

I just need you to dance to me.

Put your feet on, okay?

What is going on?

Put your feet on.

Come on, remember?

Mommy, I know your little secret now,
okay?

Oh, I totally get it.

What?

What are you talking about?

Huh?

I'm high, too.

And we can both be high together,
okay?

You and me, mom.

No, you took my medicine.

How much did you take?

I don't know.

It's okay, though, mommy.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you so much.

I just can't tell you, dad, about this,
okay?

Are you okay with this?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I am so sorry.

You!

You!

I knew you were bad from the day you were
born!

You!

No!

No!

She was never going to back down.

She was never going to change.

Even if it meant dragging me down with
her.

Herb!

Herb!

Herb!

Herb, wake up!

It's me!

What?

It's me on the video.

Hold on, kid.

What are we talking about here?

The chocolate cake and the yogurt.

I just saw it on the video.

It's horrible.

It was you?

She... I was sitting on the floor eating
like an animal.

Herb, I think I'm going insane.

Maybe I'm going insane.

Come here.

Take it easy.

Look at it this way.

You being a sleepwalker is a hell of a lot
better than me being a senile, isn't it?

Hmm?

Of course it is.

Of course it is.

Anyway, sleepwalkers are a dime a dozen.

You'll never get off a murder rat that
way.

Pippa Lee, right?

Oh, hello.

You got a job already.

I'm working my way to the top.

It's a beautiful day.

I'm trying not to notice.

Oh, and a pack of more Rolex.

Costly habit.

I don't... really, I don't smoke.

I just, um...

You don't work here at night, do you?

I haven't yet.

Why do you ask?

Oh, I just... I just always thought...

What a horrible job it
would be just waiting for

someone to buy, I don't
know, cigarettes or something.

Matches?

Please.

Sorry about ducking out on you.

Oh, yeah.

I'm not a big party person.

Oh, no, no, no.

I shouldn't have interrupted.

Um, actually, I don't need a bag.

That's okay.

And give your mother my best.

These strawberries are so sweet.

Hmm?

Strawberries.

So sweet.

Mmm.

Maple Bank Farm.

How's the book going?

I'm a hundred pages in.

Who knows?

You know.

How do you know I know?

Because you always do that.

You pretend it's not going to work when
you know it is.

I have an idea.

Why don't you finish all my conversations
for me?

Since you know what I'm thinking.

We'll save ourselves a lot of time.

Well, there's a good idea.

Do batches really get in your hair?

Can you please just come up with one thing
that isn't a weird little cliché?

I think I left the lights on in the car.

Aunt Trish was the kindest person I had
ever known.

Later.

Go get some rest.

How are you?

I'm Kat.

This is my room.

Oh, I'm sorry.

No problemo.

Hey.

Did you sleep okay?

Who's Kat?

Uh, she's my roommate.

Listen.

Your parents are going to be here in a few
hours.

What?

Honey, you have to deal with them sooner
or later.

As far as I'm concerned,
you can stay with me so

long as you end up with
a high school diploma.

I know there's a problem at your house.

You do?

Mm-hmm.

No one else is going to say it,
so I will.

Okay.

You did good getting away.

Ta-da.

I'm not running away.

I'm just done.

That's all.

But what does that mean, you're done?

It means I don't want to live with you.

Oh, so this is all my fault.

What's all your fault?

What you did to me!

I didn't do anything to you.

I'm done.

Don't you get it?

I'm not even gonna go home for Christmas
anymore.

No, I didn't say that.

I...

Of course I will, Mom.

I just...

I think it's better if I don't live there
anymore.

What did I do to you?

What did I do to you to make you so
secretive and unhappy?

Nothing.

What did I do to you?

Please, Mom.

Please.

Don't be sad.

No.

No, you don't be sad, honey.

My baby, it's okay.

Hey, I love you so much.

It's okay.

It's gonna be okay, okay?

No, I can't.

I can't.

Pippa!

I'm done.

Pippa!

I promise.

I would never go home for Christmas or
anything else.

I was free.

I can't take it anymore.

He's such a prick.

Sam can have a mean sense of humor,
but maybe if you laughed along.

I've been laughing for four years and now
I'm crying.

I think Sandra's having an affair.

What makes you think so?

Well, she's talking about
splitting with Sam and she's

terrified of being on her own,
you know, and it just adds up.

Well, maybe she just wants you to think
she's having an affair so you tell me and

I tell Sam and he starts treating her
better.

You really think Sandra's that conniving?

It's what women are like, a lot of them.

Conniving?

No, it's not conniving.

It's human nature.

It's survival of the fittest.

Need I refresh your memory?

Never mind.

I don't like this book.

I'm going to sleep.

I still think she's having an affair.

Oh, by the way, I think I found you an
office.

This is perfect.

Oh, so happy.

It only took two days to get
the furniture and I just thought

it would be great to have a
place away from Marigold Village.

What's this for?

In case I get paper cuts?

Drop a phone on my foot?

Old people bleed just like young ones,
sweetheart.

Well, why don't we get an EKG for the
coroner?

We're getting oxygen 10 over there.

Okay, I'll leave you to it.

Thank you for this.

What a sweet woman you are.

Is it yours?

Hi.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

It's a beautiful purse.

Thank you.

You look so beautiful.

What are you doing different?

It's the indolence.

I wish I could be peaceful and good like
you.

Good?

What is it?

It's over between Sam and me.

And it's just all so completely,
completely messed up.

I don't know what to do.

I'm never going to have a normal life.

You can be married to anybody if that's
what you're worried about.

Anybody?

Marriage is an act of will.

I mean, I adore her.

But our marriage functions because we will
it to.

If you leave love to hold everything
together, you can forget it.

Love comes and goes with the breeze,
minute by minute.

But you make it sound all so unromantic.

Pick any man over 50 in this room.

Either one of us could be married to him.

What about that one?

He just needs his routines.

That's all.

I bet if you anticipate
his needs before he

knows he has them,
he'll be docile as a lamb.

He needs a lot of praise.

But so long as you stick
your finger up his ass while

he's coming, he won't
give you any trouble at all.

I'm kidding.

I was kidding.

I wonder if maybe I'm having a very quiet,
nervous breakdown.

Did you get the boots?

Yes.

I mean, they're on hold, but I got them.

I did it.

Good.

Good for you.

Mrs. Lee?

I want some cigarettes.

What kind?

The white ones.

Marlboro Lights?

Viva.

It's okay.

Would you like me to drive you home?

Maybe you shouldn't tell anyone about
this.

I'll try not to.

You'll try not to?

I might slip out one day.

I think I just figured out what's so odd
about you.

You can't lie, can you?

Okay.

Well, thank you.

What's up?

Pippa, for Christ's sakes, I'm not dead
yet.

Aunt Trish's apartment was a haven after
the hysteria of my mother's household.

I fit in easily with the two of them,
but was secretly fascinated by Kat.

Maybe because she seemed a little bit
dangerous.

Bye.

Bye, baby.

That was the end of my stay with Aunt
Trish.

You slept late.

I'm sorry.

It took me ages to fall asleep.

Okay.

I'm off.

See you at lunch.

Oh, is there anything else you want from
the market other than the apricot spread?

No.

What?

Ever since we moved to the old folks home,
you look younger and younger.

Oh, it's just because I'm not setting my
hair.

Okay.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Come on.

Chris?

I'm so ho-It's Pippa Leigh.

I'm so sorry to disturb you.

I just, I forgot I left my car at the
convenience store.

I'll just wait out here, okay?

Your mother told me you're going through a
hard time.

You could say that.

Fired for my job at the
men's shelter, I come

home to find my wife
sitting on the weekend.

I'm on top of my best friend.

Wow, that's bad.

Yeah, well...

There's probably a good reason for it all.

What?

I'm an asshole.

You are?

I don't know why, I just always have been.

The tattoo you have must have hurt
terribly.

I tried to join a Jesuit seminar once when
I was 17.

You were going to be a priest?

Yeah.

But they rejected my application.

Do you still have an application?

Just the tattoo.

What made you lose your faith?

I just stopped believing God was a mystery
you could nail down with one book.

But by that time my parents had written me
off as a fuck-up.

I was married to a Jesus freak.

And I was just as pissed off at the world
as a Christian.

Which brings us more or less up to date.

Give or take a decade.

What are you thinking?

I was just thinking that
you seem like... What?

Just that you seem so bright.

It's a pity you never settled on any real
work.

It would make your life so much easier.

Okay.

Well, thank you.

I didn't mean to offend you.

I suggest you go back to that little life
you've puffed up for yourself.

I'm sure you're very happy underneath all
that anxiety.

You're right.

You know, you are an asshole.

Told ya.

In the years after I left Aunt Trish, all I
can remember is fixes I got myself into.

I didn't love you for
a while Just how long

back can I say Long
before It was a free fall.

I'll be on my way While this fire Truth is,
I took every pill I could get my hands on.

It's no wonder I can't remember any of it.

When the fire died One day, I found out my
mother had died.

I tried to remain as numb as possible.

But I couldn't.

That was my boyfriend, Jed.

Oh no, it was Craig.

Craig was my boyfriend.

I can't believe you sold a painting to
Xixi Li.

Wait, who is she anyway?

She is an heiress.

Collector.

Party girl.

She knows everybody.

She knows Andy.

That material belongs to the childhood.

No, but I'm moving back and forth in time.

It's liquid.

Don't let the sequences accumulate.

They're too staccato.

That's exactly what I'm looking for,
that kind of staccato feeling.

Hello.

Hi, are you with our party?

Yeah, I'm with Craig.

You bought a painting from him?

Oh yeah.

This is Max.

I'm Herb.

And you are?

Pipa Sarkeesian.

What kind of a name is that?

English and Armenian.

Well, welcome.

I want to organize a show in Beresford.

Have you been to Beresford?

No.

That's fantastic.

Pipa.

Pipa Sarkeesian.

Come here.

Come.

Sit.

Talk to us.

So, Pipa.

What does a free spirit like you have for
breakfast usually?

Does she look like she eats breakfast?

Come on.

Do you?

No.

That's your first mistake of the day.

So what do you do?

First thing in the morning, you get up,
you go to the studio?

I don't have a studio.

You gotta be an artist dressed like that.

Come on.

What do you do?

I work in a clothing store.

You have no ambition?

Do you realize no one has
ever walked through that

front door before without
having some kind of ambition?

The butler is writing a short story.

He told me so himself yesterday.

May I get a drink?

Give me another one of these.

I will.

I'll be back.

This is the most amazing house I've ever
seen.

It's not a house.

It's a mausoleum.

There isn't one comfortable piece of furniture
in the whole place except this couch.

It's like living in an aquarium.

Why do you live here?

My wife.

I could never afford a place like this.

Although I'm not poor.

So, Pipa.

When are you going to start doing
something about your life?

What do you mean?

Well, doesn't it get dispiriting being so
aimless?

I mean, the times they are are changing
notwithstanding.

You have such a sweetness about you.

No, I'm not sweet.

You can be experienced and have a
sweetness about you.

It's an innate thing with you,
it seems.

I haven't seen quality as a person in a
long time.

No, I'm swimming!

and drops!

Oh God.

I didn't realize it yet, but I had wearing
my sights on her.

And once that happened...watch out.

She's making me nostalgic with her first
wife.

Trust me, that's saying something.

You're interesting, Pipa.

I've been observing you.

You have?

You're like an ingenue femme fatale.

Okay, and what are you like?

Writers are vampires.

I'm waiting for the right girl to come
along and make me a human being.

You realize that if I
leaned in right now

and kissed you, I'd be
the third guy tonight?

Am I right?

Yeah, you are.

Fish tonight.

Oh, well, he comes all the way from Maine
every Thursday.

You feel guilty about the fish man?

A little.

I'm sorry about the other day.

Oh, that's all right.

How are you doing?

Oh, fine.

I actually went to see someone about the
sleepwalking.

And he basically thinks I'm off my nose.

And he's like...

See, it's a psychiatrist.

That's because he thinks I'm gonna need
medication.

And a locksmith.

See, he suggested that we bolt the bedroom
door from the inside and Herb hide the key.

And...

Oh, I'm supposed to take up a hobby.

I'm thinking bowling.

Would you like to go for a drive?

Sure.

I'll have to get your fish.

I'll make pasta.

Where do you want to go?

I don't know.

I could show you where I grew up.

Okay.

How do I get there?

Oh, it's straight for a couple of miles
and then we'll make a turn.

I'll tell you.

It's close.

There it is.

Seems so small.

Is your family still alive?

No.

That's my daughter, Grace.

She hates me.

I wonder...

What?

If I got it all wrong with her...

I just didn't want to suffocate her the
way I might.

I think it happens like that in families
sometimes, though.

You just keep swinging back and forth.

From generation to generation,
getting it wrong the opposite way.

It was so simple with Ben.

But, you know, she, um, is a photographic
journalist.

Travels all over the world, wherever it's
exploding, takes photographs.

Wow.

Yeah, I know.

We must have done something right.

Sounds like your daughter's like you.

Why?

You said you were always in a drama.

Well, I was reckless with my life,
that's true.

I never saw her again.

Who?

My mother.

After I ran away, she died.

She had a heart attack.

If I could have anything, I would ask for
one more afternoon with my mother.

Look at her eyes.

I would be kind.

Beautiful.

I've been going to Dot's pottery class.

Oh, good.

Why do you think it's good?

The doctor said he thought you could use a
hobby.

Tell me what you like about me.

Right now?

Yeah.

Well, you put up with me for one thing.

That's it?

Of course not.

Or what happened?

What happened to us?

We used to laugh so much.

What happened?

You can't laugh all the time.

Well, we have to laugh.

For what?

Or she died for nothing.

Not that again, okay?

Why am I not allowed to mention her?

I will not let this marriage turn into a
guilt fest.

We have been through this a hundred times.

She was crazy.

You get involved with somebody like that,
it's like putting your hand in a blender.

Sooner or later, your fingers get bloody.

I just can't take it.

I can't take it.

I keep seeing her, Herb.

I keep seeing her.

I keep...

I keep seeing the past.

The past just keeps caving in.

I can't take it anymore.

I can't take it.

I'm sorry.

Maybe you should be taking
antidepressants.

What?

You all right?

You want to talk?

My mother used to do this.

She'd suddenly disappear
and I'd find her on the bed

in front of the TV with a
plate of toast on her belly.

That's how she died.

Yes, I know.

I have to take your blood pressure.

No, you don't.

I slept for a week after the party at
Herb's beach house.

Maybe I was trying to avoid my next
boyfriend.

When I woke up, I felt an overwhelming
need to hear Herb's voice.

I missed him so much, it was strange.

Mr. Lee?

Hi, it's Pippa Sarkissian.

Pippa?

Hey.

I was wondering, do you want to go out to
breakfast?

It's three o'clock in the afternoon.

I meant tomorrow.

He treated me like a pal at first.

He was avuncular.

He teased me about being a waster.

I called him an old fart.

We would get together every couple of days
and take a walk or eat something.

He gave me reading lists.

He wanted to educate me.

Hi.

Sorry I'm late.

You're always late.

Well, maybe you're always early.

I bought something for you.

You only have to wear this once.

I'll be alone at the beach house this
weekend.

I want you to come for lunch.

You weren't supposed to buy this.

I needed to.

I loved being with Herb.

He made me feel good.

He made me feel protected.

I thought I was a writer.

I thought it was my calling.

But it just wasn't.

I couldn't flow.

I have a very critical nature.

And it kept me from being able to flow.

And I was slightly lost for a little
while.

I had no idea what I was going to do.

And I had a friend in the publishing
business.

And he offered me a job.

And here I am.

Tell me what you like about me.

Well, you're not a show-off about it.

But I think you're very intelligent.

And you're beautiful.

But you're cool about it.

And there's a sadness about you.

And I like that.

In moderation.

I like your jacket.

And that's it?

No.

I like your face.

And your voice.

And...

This is going to sound strange.

Say it.

It's like...

Like I can feel what you're feeling.

You know, if you feel nervous or happy or
sad.

I can feel it.

In my body.

In my fingers.

What a remarkable thing.

Um...

I'd like you not to feel as if you have to
censor yourself around me.

Tell me something about yourself.

Tell me the most important thing about
you.

I want to fuck up.

I felt like I was being rescued from a
burning wreck.

If I'm good for anything in the world, it's
for letting you know how wonderful you are.

You're my true wife, you know.

I make people sad.

I don't believe that.

Anyway, you have a wife.

If I have to live with that lunatic for
another week, I'll... I'll hang myself.

For years I've been
hoping she'd have an affair

so I can walk out on
her, but she won't do it.

The bitch.

Mrs.

Lee still seems unwilling to work her way
up like the rest of us.

Your house.

What did you say to me?

I don't understand.

She agrees to divorce you if we have lunch
with her?

She just wants to make the switch in some
kind of elegant way.

I can't believe you agreed to do this.

I owe her this much.

Come on, let's go.

Hello, Mr. Lee.

Nice to see you.

Hello, Miss... Hello, Alfonso.

Welcome.

Hi.

Hi.

Hello, hello, hello.

Hi.

Sam, what a pleasant surprise.

I told yours to bring in the champagne.

Perfect symmetry.

Symmetry?

What?

Come on.

She invited me for lunch.

Stop.

Cheers.

You're such a baby.

Thanks.

Let's face it.

I wanted Gigi's life at that moment.

It wasn't the money, exactly.

It was just that the money made everything
seem all right.

It was the opposite of chaos.

The opposite of everything I had known,
up until then.

I wanted to be sheltered at last.

Madam.

Lunch is served.

Oh, my.

Pippa?

Herb?

This lunch is in honor of Telnit like it
is.

You know how we all eat
chops and hamburgers and

we don't think of the
faces of who gets killed?

Anybody here a vegetarian?

Here's the truth as I see it.

A pig for a cow.

A fair exchange.

And who's who?

Sorry.

Okay, let's have lunch.

Who wants pig?

First, a toast.

Oh, my Jesus.

To transformation.

Put the gun down.

Put it down.

Put it down, Gigi.

Isn't it funny how men always marry women
who are easier and easier to dominate

until they end up with an imbecile?

Put the gun down.

Put it down.

Give me the gun!

Her image would haunt me for the rest of
my life.

I knew without thinking
that not only would I marry

her, I would give myself
to him like a penitent.

This was my last chance at goodness.

If I fucked this up, I would be fallen
forever.

Every day I tried to be good.

To erase the past.

I stopped getting high.

But I didn't know how to be this new
person.

Like a dancer learning a new routine,
I relied on repetition to teach my brain.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

It wasn't until I had the babies,
though, that I really believed my own act.

That was when Pippa Sarkeesian disappeared
forever.

That was how I became Pippa Lee.

I got thrown out of pottery class.

I got thrown out of pottery class.

Who is it?

It's me.

I'll be right there.

Everything okay?

I got thrown out of pottery class.

Why?

I told the teacher to screw off.

Let me get my keys.

We'll get some coffee.

She's a witch.

Why is this towel here, sweetheart?

Were you eating and you didn't want to
mess up the couch?

When did this start?

Sometime after we moved here.

I was hoping it was an affair,
but it just isn't.

I know this has got to be dreadful for
you.

I want you to have all the money.

You deserve everything.

Thanks.

Are you going to marry her?

I don't know.

At my age, it would be pretty ridiculous,
wouldn't it?

I just want to live.

The past few years, I can feel you
starting to bury me, Pippa.

I can feel the earth in my mouth.

Almost as if you're looking forward to it.

How can you say that?

I can feel you starting to pity me,
being afraid of me.

You're already mourning.

Don't deny it.

I mean, of course, I am afraid of you
getting old and dying.

It's normal to be afraid.

Well, I don't want to be normal and I
don't want to be mourned.

I'm not a ghost.

I want to live.

Nobody knows when the hell they're going
to die.

You could die tomorrow.

And fuck you for making me feel like an
old man.

But Herb, you are an old man.

Oh, my...

Oh, Sandra.

Killing yourself with a disposable razor, I
don't think anyone's ever done that before.

She's in despair, you know.

She loves you.

This first aid kit came in handy.

I had the strangest feeling walking down
those stairs.

I suddenly felt so light.

As if a great weight had been lifted off
of me.

Remember where you were.

Pippa Lee rounding the bend.

Guilt baton in hand.

Coming up on Sandra Dulles.

And the pass is complete.

Pippa Lee has passed the guilt baton to
Sandra Dulles.

I never thought I'd live to see this
moment.

Hi, there.

Hi.

What's going on?

My husband has been having an affair with
a good friend of mine.

So...

It's official.

Nobody needs me anymore.

Hi, Ma.

Dot.

Hey.

Dot, no, no, no.

Please, I didn't mean to upset you.

I really, I really didn't.

That man is 35 years old.

I know, but we haven't done anything.

And you are whatever you are.

We haven't done anything.

It's none of my beeswax.

It is just disappointing.

When someone turns out not to be the
person you thought they were.

I lost control.

I... I care about
you tremendously.

Why don't I feel anything?

I can't be that I don't love you anymore.

I adored you only this morning.

Are you in shock?

It's all so tired.

What is?

This whole situation.

Let's just fast forward to the divorce.

Where were you going, Mom?

Ben, I really don't see that that's
important.

I just want to get everything straight.

All right.

I had chest pains.

I feel like the gods are punishing me.

Oh, please stop being such an egomaniac
and drink your tea.

Forgive me, Ben.

Forgive her for what?

Oh, I can't.

I can't.

Ben, your father and Sondra were...

They're in love.

That's why I was leaving.

What?

I'll jump out the window.

I'm so stupid.

I'm so stupid.

I am so selfish.

I'll jump out the window if you don't
forgive me.

I forgive you.

Get up.

Get up, please.

Okay.

You do not forgive her?

You're right, I don't.

How could Dad do that to you?

Sweetheart, he was afraid of dying.

He fell in love.

And I wasn't altogether there either.

As of late.

So, I don't know.

Do you even care?

How can I compete with that?

Hi.

Where is he?

Oh, sweetheart.

Mrs. Lee?

You have a phone call.

Okay, Ben.

You take her in.

I'll be right back.

Hello?

I just want to say, in
all the world, you are the

one person to whom none
of this should be happening.

Thank you, Sam.

And I also want to say that I love you.

Me too.

I mean really.

Oh.

Call you later.

Okay.

Bye.

Sam?

Yeah?

I don't want to make butterflied lamb
anymore.

Oh.

Do you see what I'm saying?

Why did Ben get to stay?

I don't know.

He seemed to want it the most.

Really?

How do you measure that?

Do you have some sort of love-o-meter?

Why don't we go home for a few hours and
rest, and then we'll come back.

Has someone been smoking in here?

I don't know.

Yuck.

Was it Daddy?

What?

Well, if Daddy's been
smoking, then maybe... No.

No.

So his brain is just dead?

It's just completely dead?

He'll never say anything ever again?

Not one thing?

That's what the doctors are telling us,
sweetheart.

You didn't even ask for a second opinion.

Gracie.

I'm going to sleep.

Good night.

Why did you bother to lie?

Oh my god, you are smoking.

I'm quitting soon.

But I have never seen you smoke in my
whole life.

I know.

I'm so sorry this had to happen to you.

You're not crying because of Daddy.

I'm crying because...

I'm just so mean to you.

All the time.

And I hate it.

I don't want to be.

I really, really, really don't.

Sweetheart.

It's not your fault.

There are so many things you don't know
about me.

No.

Not yet.

I want to be your friend.

And... because... because... we still have
time.

I'd be honored to be your friend.

No, not honored.

Just happy.

Okay, happy.

I

saw your light on and wanted to see if you
needed anything.

My mom told me what happened.

Oh, my son is at the hospital.

I'm supposed to be resting, but I can't.

I can drive you around a little bit.

Do you have your cell?

Don't you have work?

I'm off till five.

I could write Grace a note.

I'm leaving soon.

And where will you go?

Back up west, I guess.

What do you pray for when you pray?

For my kids to be happy, I guess.

And to be good.

You sound so childish saying it out loud.

Do you want to pray for your husband?

It's hopeless.

His brain is dead.

Not for his brain.

For his soul.

I don't know how to do that.

Me neither.

Let's try.

No.

Okay, Herb.

I'm gonna let you go.

I'm sure you're pissed
as it is that I've left you

like this so long that we
wanted to wait for Grace.

I love you anyway, you know.

I'll always love you, you bastard.

Are you ready now?

Okay, it's time to turn the corner.

I'm going to stay with Ben and his
girlfriend in town.

I'm gonna find a place near them and...

I'm gonna wait to become a grandmother.

I'm awake.

Hi, Mama.

I'm going on a trip.

A trip?

Yes.

And I was wondering if you could call
these movers right here and take whatever

you want and then tell them to give the
rest to Goodwill.

That would be great.

What about the memorial service?

Right, memorial service.

Just call everybody on
here except for Sondra

and just call me on my
cell and give me the date.

And you know what?

What the hell?

I'll invite Sondra.

Mom, are you actually leaving?

I'll be back.

When?

Sweetheart, your father
was in love with a woman I

cooked for two days a
week over the past four years.

I'm not going to organize his memorial
service.

Who is that guy?

He's my friend.

A friend?

What's going on?

Ben, I'm not driving off into the sunset.

I'm just seeing what happens next.

I can't believe this is happening.

She's given us half her life.

Don't you think she deserves a vacation?

I love you, I love you, I love you.

I don't know how the rest of my story will
go.

I don't know who I'll be in it.

All I know is I feel like this is just the
beginning.

Let me come across it.

Let me know if I'll let it fall on my back
road somewhere.

Money can't replace it.

No memory can erase it.

And I know I'm never going to find another
one to compare.

Give me some love to fill me up.

Give me some time.

Give me some stuff.

Give me a sign.

Give me some kind of reason.

Are you heavy enough to make me say I feel
like I might blow away?

I thought I was in heaven, but I was only
dreaming.

I think I lost it.

Let me know if you come across it.

Let me know if I'll let it fall on my back
road somewhere.

Money can't replace it.

No memory can erase it.

And I know I'm never going to find another
one to compare.

I just want to live the life I please.

I don't love no enemies.

I don't want nothing.

Never have to play good.

Never take nothing that belongs to me.

Everything's paid for.

Nothing's free.

If I give my heart a real promise not to
break it.

I think I lost it.

Let me know if you come across it.

Let me know if I'll let it fall on my back
road somewhere.

Money can't replace it.

No memory can erase it.

And I know I'm never going to find another
one to compare.

Money can't replace it.

No memory can erase it.

And I know I'm never going to find another
one to compare.
