Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:10,373 --> 00:00:14,252
- I can't sing.
- You and Georgia will back me up.
2
00:00:14,533 --> 00:00:19,561
- Backup for you, like Ikettes?
- We all sing at the Christmas party.
3
00:00:19,893 --> 00:00:22,453
We rent the bar for rehearsal.
4
00:00:22,733 --> 00:00:26,248
- We sing at the party?
- We'll discuss it later.
5
00:00:26,573 --> 00:00:31,249
I may have something big.
I need to see you and John right away.
6
00:00:31,533 --> 00:00:35,128
They talk about you being lugubrious.
7
00:00:35,413 --> 00:00:41,090
I hoped you could squash it with a
number. I'm looking out for you.
8
00:00:41,373 --> 00:00:45,082
Thank you, Elaine.
You touch me.
9
00:00:48,613 --> 00:00:50,410
Ikettes!
10
00:00:51,133 --> 00:00:54,250
- You want what?
- That we be allowed to marry.
11
00:00:54,533 --> 00:00:57,366
- All three of you?
- Yes.
12
00:00:57,653 --> 00:01:01,328
That's not something
you can do, legally.
13
00:01:01,733 --> 00:01:04,531
I'm a lawyer, and so is Patti.
14
00:01:04,813 --> 00:01:10,809
We're partners already, with children.
And Patti's already changed her name.
15
00:01:11,333 --> 00:01:16,088
But we want our union
to be recognized by the law.
16
00:01:16,373 --> 00:01:21,527
This is a test case, and we think you
are the perfect attorneys for it.
17
00:01:21,733 --> 00:01:25,203
- Why?
- Whipper likes John's legal mind...
18
00:01:25,413 --> 00:01:27,210
...and your sense of romance.
19
00:01:27,493 --> 00:01:32,965
The issue's ripe.
I'd argue it, but we're fornicating.
20
00:01:33,173 --> 00:01:35,562
- What do you say?
- I say no.
21
00:01:38,133 --> 00:01:41,125
Well, splendid.
You're in good hands.
22
00:01:46,213 --> 00:01:47,532
- Richard!
- Ally.
23
00:01:47,733 --> 00:01:48,529
Richard!
24
00:01:48,733 --> 00:01:54,365
Usually it's all about money.
This time, it's piles of money.
25
00:01:54,653 --> 00:01:58,362
I have a problem championing
the rights of a threesome.
26
00:01:58,653 --> 00:02:04,649
The case landed on Whipper's docket
because I asked her to take it.
27
00:02:04,933 --> 00:02:09,085
They think we've influence with
the Whip. I all but promised it.
28
00:02:09,373 --> 00:02:12,888
The argument's viable, legally.
29
00:02:13,173 --> 00:02:16,722
How can we say no?
It's Christmas!
30
00:02:21,493 --> 00:02:22,767
VONDA SINGS:
I've been down this road
31
00:02:22,973 --> 00:02:25,726
Silver Bells
32
00:02:25,933 --> 00:02:29,482
Walking the lineThat's painted by pride
33
00:02:29,693 --> 00:02:31,968
And I have made mistakes in my life
34
00:02:32,213 --> 00:02:35,888
That I just can 't hide
35
00:02:36,493 --> 00:02:39,087
Oh, I believe I am ready
36
00:02:39,333 --> 00:02:43,042
For what love has to bring
37
00:02:44,213 --> 00:02:47,444
I got myself together
38
00:02:48,133 --> 00:02:50,806
Now I'm ready to sing
39
00:02:51,053 --> 00:02:54,204
I've been searching my soul tonight
40
00:02:54,453 --> 00:02:57,763
I know there's so much more to life
41
00:02:58,653 --> 00:03:01,725
Now I know I can shine a light
42
00:03:01,973 --> 00:03:04,931
To find my way back home
43
00:03:05,173 --> 00:03:09,610
Oh, baby, yeah
44
00:03:09,853 --> 00:03:11,332
Oh, yeah
45
00:03:16,893 --> 00:03:20,329
Two children are by Mindy and me.
And our third is by all three of us.
46
00:03:21,893 --> 00:03:24,691
What do you mean, all three?
47
00:03:25,813 --> 00:03:30,489
James fertilized Patti's egg.
It was implanted in me.
48
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,074

00:03:39,573 --> 00:03:41,325
ALLY:
Sorry.
50
00:03:43,093 --> 00:03:46,802
Obviously, this has no precedent.
51
00:03:47,053 --> 00:03:49,647
The definition
of the nuclear family is evolving.
52
00:03:49,893 --> 00:03:52,646
The time is coming
for it to start.
53
00:03:52,853 --> 00:03:55,970
ALLY: And it has to start with me.
54
00:03:56,893 --> 00:04:01,045
ALLY: You carry this. You're an
unorthodox arguments whiz...
55
00:04:01,333 --> 00:04:04,245
ALLY:
...and this one is so you.
56
00:04:04,533 --> 00:04:08,811
JOHN: Okay, but Richard's right,
your presence is vital.
57
00:04:09,693 --> 00:04:10,728
Why?
58
00:04:10,933 --> 00:04:15,449
Because in concept it will seem
conventionally unromantic.
59
00:04:15,733 --> 00:04:19,646
Your presence will take the
curse off that with Whipper.
60
00:04:19,933 --> 00:04:23,482
And I've emerged
without my trousers.
61
00:04:29,013 --> 00:04:30,571
JOHN:
Chagrined.
62
00:04:30,853 --> 00:04:34,846
- Will I what?
- Sing at our Christmas party.
63
00:04:35,133 --> 00:04:36,407
Ally says you have a great voice...
64
00:04:36,613 --> 00:04:40,526
- I do.
- And I thought you and Georgia...
65
00:04:40,773 --> 00:04:46,643
I love that suit. Have you thought
of putting your baritone to a beat?
66
00:04:46,933 --> 00:04:50,846
- I'm not singing backup for you.
- I don't sing backup for anybody.
67
00:04:51,133 --> 00:04:56,253
This is for Christmas. Jesus Christ,
our Lord Savior, was born.
68
00:04:56,533 --> 00:04:59,684
It kills me how everybody
is so "me, me, me."
69
00:05:01,373 --> 00:05:03,489
I can't go shopping
and I have to push back lunch.
70
00:05:04,093 --> 00:05:06,482
- Now Richard wants me in court too.
- He does?
71
00:05:06,773 --> 00:05:11,210
Strength in numbers,
given what we're arguing.
72
00:05:32,813 --> 00:05:35,646
Wait, why are you on the stage?
73
00:05:35,933 --> 00:05:40,848
It's rehearsal to check equipment.
Why aren't you singing a carol?
74
00:05:41,133 --> 00:05:43,806
I pay for this.
I can sing what I want.
75
00:05:44,053 --> 00:05:49,844
This will be the third year
you sing an "Ode to Whipper."
76
00:05:50,133 --> 00:05:52,488
She wants a ring,
not a medley.
77
00:05:52,773 --> 00:05:56,004
Thank you.
Your counsel is a comfort.
78
00:05:56,253 --> 00:05:59,370
I'll dye my roots
to profit from your tutelage.
79
00:05:59,573 --> 00:06:03,851
You and Whipper barely survived
the last two Christmases.
80
00:06:04,093 --> 00:06:08,450
If you can't admit the problem to me,
fine. But admit it to yourself...
81
00:06:08,693 --> 00:06:12,049
...or you might not celebrate
together next year.
82
00:06:14,333 --> 00:06:18,645
- Do they... as a threesome?
- Evidently not.
83
00:06:18,933 --> 00:06:23,245
There's nothing kinky,
it's heterosexual, one-on-one sex.
84
00:06:23,533 --> 00:06:26,605
I guess the women
take turns being too tired.
85
00:06:27,493 --> 00:06:31,202
I don't get it!
A penis is not a share toy!
86
00:06:31,493 --> 00:06:33,370
Don't say "penis," Renee.
87
00:06:34,533 --> 00:06:38,651
It's a man thing, m�nage � trois.
It's like a harem fetish.
88
00:06:38,933 --> 00:06:43,927
No, he's either with one or the other,
but never with both.
89
00:06:45,493 --> 00:06:48,849
ALLY: What will we do?
- We have two options:
90
00:06:49,133 --> 00:06:52,682
- Science or emotion.
- What's the difference?
91
00:06:52,973 --> 00:06:58,969
Anthropological studies say that man,
by nature, needs many partners...
92
00:06:59,773 --> 00:07:03,288
...spreading his seed, for the
survivability of humanity.
93
00:07:03,573 --> 00:07:09,250
Emotion says to follow his heart.
He doesn't love one female for long.
94
00:07:09,533 --> 00:07:13,924
Personally, I lean toward science.
What are your thoughts?
95
00:07:18,413 --> 00:07:20,927
I appreciate not rushing
with your answers.
96
00:07:21,213 --> 00:07:25,650
- Do you believe that... science?
- Yes.
97
00:07:26,373 --> 00:07:30,685
Men can't stay attracted to one female
for long. That's a science?
98
00:07:30,973 --> 00:07:35,603
Sexual attraction is all chemical.
At some point...
99
00:07:35,893 --> 00:07:41,650
...one stops making the chemical for
one's partner. It quells sex drive.
100
00:07:41,933 --> 00:07:45,846
Adult videos, lingerie.
They treat the symptoms, but...
101
00:07:46,133 --> 00:07:49,205
What a sad way to look at love.
102
00:07:49,493 --> 00:07:54,044
Married couples cannot maintain
frisk for one another.
103
00:07:54,333 --> 00:07:56,847
Yeah. It troubles me.
104
00:07:57,253 --> 00:08:00,370
I was married to Mindy
eight years when Patti and l...
105
00:08:00,653 --> 00:08:03,690
- You and Patti work in the same firm?
- Yes.
106
00:08:03,893 --> 00:08:05,929
- And you fell in love with Patti?
- I did.
107
00:08:06,213 --> 00:08:12,209
- You weren't in love with Mindy?
- Well, my marriage did seem dead.
108
00:08:12,573 --> 00:08:15,167
It was meeting Patti.
I fell in love with her.
109
00:08:17,213 --> 00:08:22,526
I couldn't leave. I loved Mindy too.
And she's the mother of my children.
110
00:08:22,813 --> 00:08:25,168
You were in love with two women?
111
00:08:25,453 --> 00:08:29,241
I could tear things apart
or bring everything together.
112
00:08:29,533 --> 00:08:34,243
The three of us sat down and talked,
and we decided to try this.
113
00:08:34,533 --> 00:08:37,843
- The three of you.
- Yes. That was two years ago.
114
00:08:38,133 --> 00:08:43,844
Patti and Mindy have become close, and
we decided to have a child together.
115
00:08:44,133 --> 00:08:49,002
And that justifies being joined in
matrimony? As a threesome?
116
00:08:49,293 --> 00:08:54,367
We're a family. Conventional? No.
But we're happy and devoted.
117
00:08:54,653 --> 00:08:59,249
The kids live in a home with love
and trust and security.
118
00:08:59,533 --> 00:09:03,003
How many people can make
the same claim?
119
00:09:15,093 --> 00:09:19,052
At first I was devastated.
My husband having an affair.
120
00:09:19,253 --> 00:09:21,721
- I was destroyed.
- How did you respond?
121
00:09:21,933 --> 00:09:23,730
MINDY:
I cried for two weeks.
122
00:09:24,053 --> 00:09:26,248
It was so painful because...
123
00:09:26,453 --> 00:09:29,729
...it happened when our relationship
seemed stronger than ever.
124
00:09:30,013 --> 00:09:32,732
- While he was with another woman?
MINDY: I didn't know that.
125
00:09:33,013 --> 00:09:37,291
MINDY: We were laughing again,
talking, affectionate.
126
00:09:37,573 --> 00:09:41,691
That had been missing for a long time.
Sex too.
127
00:09:41,973 --> 00:09:46,922
You were laughing, talking and having
more sex once he started this affair?
128
00:09:47,213 --> 00:09:49,932
- Strangely enough.
JOHN: Why, do you think?
129
00:09:50,213 --> 00:09:54,331
MINDY: His relationship with Patti
opened him up.
130
00:09:54,613 --> 00:09:58,447
Maybe that helped
my relationship with him.
131
00:10:02,133 --> 00:10:07,412
GEORGIA: It almost made sense.
- What if he wanted four or five wives?
132
00:10:07,693 --> 00:10:11,572
- We should allow polygamy if it works?
- No, but...
133
00:10:12,693 --> 00:10:15,651
What's wrong?
Something's bothering you.
134
00:10:18,573 --> 00:10:20,404
You and I.
135
00:10:20,893 --> 00:10:24,090
These past few months
you're relaxed...
136
00:10:24,893 --> 00:10:26,326
...more intimate.
137
00:10:26,573 --> 00:10:29,326
- We're...
- What? We're what?
138
00:10:29,613 --> 00:10:35,006
This is the best we've ever been.
Sexually, emotionally.
139
00:10:36,253 --> 00:10:39,211
- Ever since Ally came here.
- I beg your pardon?
140
00:10:39,493 --> 00:10:43,452
You've been less... repressed.
141
00:10:44,773 --> 00:10:48,812
Because of Ally? That's good.
I should write this down.
142
00:10:49,173 --> 00:10:51,687
- It's not that ridiculous.
- Yes, it is.
143
00:10:51,973 --> 00:10:54,009
You think there is something
between me and Ally?
144
00:10:54,293 --> 00:10:57,205
Of course there is.
Maybe not sexual...
145
00:10:57,413 --> 00:11:00,450
...but we know there's
something going on, and...
146
00:11:00,653 --> 00:11:01,642
And what?
147
00:11:02,373 --> 00:11:07,606
And maybe I'm able to live
with it because you have been...
148
00:11:08,173 --> 00:11:12,132
- I don't know.
- You do know, obviously. Tell me.
149
00:11:14,453 --> 00:11:17,365
I don't think you're being unfaithful.
150
00:11:17,653 --> 00:11:22,681
I think there are little pockets of
intimacy you can't get to with me...
151
00:11:22,973 --> 00:11:28,286
...that you do get to with her. As
a result, you feel less...
152
00:11:28,573 --> 00:11:33,283
- Repressed.
- That's the best word: Repressed.
153
00:11:33,573 --> 00:11:37,361
Because of it,
we have been more intimate.
154
00:11:37,653 --> 00:11:42,363
Ally has been good for us
and it pisses me off.
155
00:11:42,653 --> 00:11:47,329
- That's...
- Crazy. I know.
156
00:11:50,053 --> 00:11:52,089
- I've got them.
- Excuse me?
157
00:11:52,373 --> 00:11:56,082
- Ikettes, to sing backup for my song.
- You got the Ikettes?
158
00:11:56,373 --> 00:12:01,083
Not real, but they're sexy and black,
and accent my sensuality.
159
00:12:01,373 --> 00:12:04,524
So, I'm off the hook then?
160
00:12:08,253 --> 00:12:14,249
- Question Patti on the stand.
- Whipper's on the fence, even.
161
00:12:14,573 --> 00:12:17,292
She needs a nudge
from a romantic idealist.
162
00:12:17,573 --> 00:12:21,407
Problem is, she can read me
no matter what I say in there.
163
00:12:21,613 --> 00:12:22,648
Well...
164
00:12:22,853 --> 00:12:27,051
Is it the idea, two women, one man?
165
00:12:30,453 --> 00:12:33,490
Were you swayed
by Mindy's testimony?
166
00:12:33,773 --> 00:12:37,049
Her husband brings another woman
into the home.
167
00:12:39,013 --> 00:12:41,288
To live there.
168
00:12:42,813 --> 00:12:44,644
ELAINE:
One, two, three, four.
169
00:12:44,933 --> 00:12:50,929
I saw Mommy kissing Santa ClausLast night
170
00:12:51,613 --> 00:12:53,843
I saw Mommy
171
00:12:54,093 --> 00:12:57,642
Kissing Santa Claus last night
172
00:12:57,853 --> 00:13:02,085
Hello! Hip atrophy?
We need to sex it up a little bit.
173
00:13:02,373 --> 00:13:05,729
- It's just rehearsal.
- The party is Friday.
174
00:13:06,013 --> 00:13:09,767
Are you ready, boys?
One, two, three, four.
175
00:13:09,973 --> 00:13:12,009
I saw Mommy
176
00:13:12,213 --> 00:13:16,252
Kissing Santa Claus last night
177
00:13:16,533 --> 00:13:19,605
If she caught her mother with Santa,
she'd tell her father.
178
00:13:19,813 --> 00:13:22,532
In a second.
179
00:13:22,973 --> 00:13:27,683
- What are you going to sing, Renee?
- I'm not sure yet.
180
00:13:27,973 --> 00:13:31,932
But you don't want to follow me.
Trust that.
181
00:13:33,613 --> 00:13:36,650
Last night, last night
182
00:13:36,893 --> 00:13:39,168
She didn 't see me creep
183
00:13:39,493 --> 00:13:42,883
- She said that?
- Yeah.
184
00:13:43,173 --> 00:13:47,849
- Well, it's...
- Silly. And true.
185
00:13:48,133 --> 00:13:51,205
Well, it's not that huge of a...
186
00:13:52,853 --> 00:13:57,210
- You know Steve Schwinn?
- Yeah.
187
00:13:57,493 --> 00:14:02,089
He said his marriage got better
when his wife went to therapy.
188
00:14:02,373 --> 00:14:06,651
Not that she went to counseling
because of the marriage.
189
00:14:06,933 --> 00:14:11,131
But talking to somebody else,
she felt like it decompressed her.
190
00:14:12,373 --> 00:14:15,888
Feeling you're heard by anybody...
191
00:14:16,173 --> 00:14:19,882
...helps relations with everybody.
- I read that once.
192
00:14:22,733 --> 00:14:27,170
And having a solid friendship
pays dividends at work, at home...
193
00:14:27,493 --> 00:14:29,882
All over.
194
00:14:30,173 --> 00:14:33,882
I think our friendship
makes us both stronger.
195
00:14:34,173 --> 00:14:36,482
- Don't you?
- Yes.
196
00:14:37,773 --> 00:14:41,891
And it's just a coincidence
we used to be lovers.
197
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:44,607
- What?
- Nothing.
198
00:14:46,453 --> 00:14:47,408
What?
199
00:14:49,773 --> 00:14:52,685
I don't plan to
break up your marriage...
200
00:14:52,973 --> 00:14:57,364
...but I'm not thrilled to be the best
thing that happened to it.
201
00:15:07,893 --> 00:15:10,771
- Home? Separate homes?
- I'm tired.
202
00:15:12,373 --> 00:15:15,171
Christmas fatigue on the 15th?
203
00:15:15,373 --> 00:15:18,843
Why are you depressed every holiday?
204
00:15:19,133 --> 00:15:24,685
Is it more fun bringing everyone down
when their spirits are higher?
205
00:15:24,973 --> 00:15:28,443
Keep digging, Nuckie.
We'll be nose to nose any second.
206
00:15:28,653 --> 00:15:30,723
Oh. Hmm.
207
00:15:31,853 --> 00:15:36,210
I have a buddy who's a chiropractor.
Business triples in December.
208
00:15:36,413 --> 00:15:38,165
You know why?
Neck injuries.
209
00:15:38,493 --> 00:15:42,532
I can't tell where it's going,
but it sounds like a good one.
210
00:15:44,373 --> 00:15:49,128
People take stock at the holidays,
see what's there and what's missing.
211
00:15:49,413 --> 00:15:52,166
All that craning,
they get sore necks.
212
00:15:52,453 --> 00:15:54,921
You want to be happy?
Don't look around.
213
00:15:55,133 --> 00:15:58,330
Happiness can be found
in one word: Denial.
214
00:15:58,613 --> 00:16:03,528
Happiness is going to bed with
something more secure than a Fishism.
215
00:16:07,653 --> 00:16:09,006
Look...
216
00:16:10,293 --> 00:16:12,204
...Whipper...
217
00:16:12,933 --> 00:16:16,050
...do you want me to marry you?
I'll marry you.
218
00:16:16,293 --> 00:16:18,682
What's the big deal?
219
00:16:18,973 --> 00:16:22,682
We love each other.
We're together.
220
00:16:22,973 --> 00:16:25,806
What's so important about marriage?
What's it mean?
221
00:16:26,093 --> 00:16:30,211
It must mean something,
if you're so afraid of it.
222
00:16:38,053 --> 00:16:40,886
Isn't it obvious?
She's feeling insecure.
223
00:16:41,173 --> 00:16:44,290
- Why does she impose on me?
- She's your girlfriend.
224
00:16:44,573 --> 00:16:50,569
- Why do single women feel unhappy?
- Men are miserable after marriage!
225
00:16:50,933 --> 00:16:54,289
- What was that?
- Nothing.
226
00:16:54,573 --> 00:16:57,212
Billy's never been happier.
227
00:16:58,653 --> 00:17:02,441
That isn't true.
I have definitely seen him happier.
228
00:17:03,293 --> 00:17:04,089
Oh, God.
229
00:17:04,293 --> 00:17:07,091
- He told you about our conversation.
- What conversation?
230
00:17:07,373 --> 00:17:10,490
- Cappuccinos?
- Don't you wish.
231
00:17:10,773 --> 00:17:14,527
She told her that you told her
about what she told you.
232
00:17:14,853 --> 00:17:15,922
- Ally.
- Billy.
233
00:17:16,133 --> 00:17:18,203
- Bygones.
- Quiet!
234
00:17:18,493 --> 00:17:22,964
You and I need to talk.
The three of us need to talk.
235
00:17:23,253 --> 00:17:26,404
- Can I just apologize and be excused?
- No!
236
00:17:26,733 --> 00:17:32,126
- We are going in a room together.
- I can take minutes.
237
00:17:32,413 --> 00:17:36,725
- Do you sniff trouble and seek it out?
- Yes, and try to complicate it.
238
00:17:37,013 --> 00:17:40,528
- Excuse me.
- What?!
239
00:17:40,813 --> 00:17:43,281
We're late for court.
240
00:17:52,893 --> 00:17:56,124
- I am the evil other woman.
- You wear the badge proudly.
241
00:17:56,413 --> 00:18:00,770
I work. I wanted a family.
I didn't want a nanny.
242
00:18:01,053 --> 00:18:06,571
It sounds nuts, but I'm marrying
the mother of my children.
243
00:18:06,853 --> 00:18:11,131
- It does sound nuts.
- You don't have to tell me.
244
00:18:11,413 --> 00:18:17,329
- I didn't grow up picturing this.
- But the picture has changed?
245
00:18:17,613 --> 00:18:19,843
Yeah.
246
00:18:21,253 --> 00:18:22,049
Uh...
247
00:18:22,493 --> 00:18:25,007
You sound sad with that answer.
248
00:18:27,893 --> 00:18:31,932
I grew up with the same dreams
as everybody else.
249
00:18:32,213 --> 00:18:36,365
I dreamed of my wedding day,
my little house, my garden.
250
00:18:36,653 --> 00:18:40,726
It didn't work according to plan.
251
00:18:41,013 --> 00:18:43,447
But you know what?
252
00:18:43,653 --> 00:18:45,086
It did work.
253
00:18:50,213 --> 00:18:53,728
I know it's just a holiday phase.
254
00:18:54,013 --> 00:18:57,926
- The point of Christmas cheer is what?
- Cheer.
255
00:18:58,213 --> 00:19:02,252
Exactly. All she wants under
that tree is a picket fence.
256
00:19:02,453 --> 00:19:03,442
[SIGHS]
257
00:19:04,893 --> 00:19:07,851
- I'm drawn to her.
- Whipper?
258
00:19:08,133 --> 00:19:11,728
Ally. I'm drawn to her.
259
00:19:12,013 --> 00:19:16,325
I'm tempted to invite her to
the party as my date.
260
00:19:16,613 --> 00:19:21,733
We spoke of it once and she...
She kissed me under the mistletoe.
261
00:19:22,013 --> 00:19:25,528
The moment was full of ambiguity,
but I did sense an overture.
262
00:19:25,813 --> 00:19:29,203
Then ask her, it's a good time.
She's saying yes to everybody.
263
00:19:29,493 --> 00:19:35,011
- I'm not good asking women out.
- There's not much to it, John.

for negotiating sessions, do that.

Go in as if you're the world's
strongest man.

Except instead of being battle-ready,
you just adjust it.
268
00:19:49,413 --> 00:19:54,123
But what you keep is the idea that
you feel good about yourself.

Even if it's a lie.

00:20:01,693 --> 00:20:04,332
Somebody has to start.
Since you called the meeting...
271
00:20:04,613 --> 00:20:07,730
I'll start by protesting that I'm
in the middle of this.
272
00:20:08,013 --> 00:20:10,732
I second that.
I protest you being in the middle.
273
00:20:11,013 --> 00:20:15,325
- Who's under attack, me or him?
- What are you so angry about?
274
00:20:15,613 --> 00:20:20,289
I'm angry that to discuss our marriage
I've got to have her in the room.
275
00:20:20,573 --> 00:20:23,531
I'm angry because I don't know
who to blame.
276
00:20:23,813 --> 00:20:27,726
Because I like you better since
she came back into your life!
277
00:20:28,013 --> 00:20:31,642
Because somehow she has made
you and I closer!
278
00:20:31,933 --> 00:20:35,812
Because I'm not sure I want
her out of your life!
279
00:20:36,093 --> 00:20:39,369
Because I don't know how to
handle this, and on top of it all...
280
00:20:39,653 --> 00:20:44,363
...I like her, damn it!
I'm angry about that too.

Okay...
282
00:20:54,293 --> 00:20:58,923
I'm glad that we cleared the air
and bye.
283
00:20:59,213 --> 00:21:04,162
Get back here! We need to
get honest with each other.
284
00:21:05,413 --> 00:21:11,409
Spouses, ex-girlfriends. It doesn't
call for honesty, but for pretending.
285
00:21:11,653 --> 00:21:16,773
Which I was capable of. But you, me
and him being in this office together?
286
00:21:17,053 --> 00:21:21,251
Some things I've heard in this trial
are going on here.
287
00:21:21,533 --> 00:21:26,323
- She's made you more emotionally open.
- I don't deny it for a second.
288
00:21:26,613 --> 00:21:28,569
ALLY: Should've denied it!

00:21:44,013 --> 00:21:47,164
...I shouldn't be in this room.

I'm sorry.

Tickle Santa Claus

- We'll be better.

- Is it close?
- Lf we win, I'll kill myself.

00:22:38,213 --> 00:22:43,128
Three-way marriage. All I believe in,
I don't care if it's a giant myth.
305
00:22:43,413 --> 00:22:48,726
Ally, you grew up dreaming you
would be a mother with a career.
306
00:22:49,013 --> 00:22:52,050
Maybe a three-way is what
you dreamed about.

Oh.

- Good night, honey.
- Good night.
309
00:22:56,053 --> 00:23:01,127
Relationships should be in twos.
Or at least in even numbers.
310
00:23:01,413 --> 00:23:07,409
Why do we need to marry anyway? It's
not security. Men are insecure too.
311
00:23:08,413 --> 00:23:13,885
Being unmarried isn't a stigma to men.
Eligible bachelor, old maid.

Society drills into us that women be
married, smart people have careers...

...women have babies
and mothers stay at home.
314
00:23:23,613 --> 00:23:27,492
Society condemns working mothers
that don't stay at home.
315
00:23:27,773 --> 00:23:31,129
What chance do we have
when society keeps on drilling us?
316
00:23:31,333 --> 00:23:32,368
We could change it.
317
00:23:32,653 --> 00:23:38,649
There are more women than men.
If they wanted, they could change it.
318
00:23:39,213 --> 00:23:42,125
I plan to change it.

00:24:38,293 --> 00:24:39,487
Merry Christmas.
332
00:25:18,693 --> 00:25:21,002
- Did you ask her?
- I'm still steeling myself.
333
00:25:21,213 --> 00:25:22,726
Strong, assured, fresh, bold.
334
00:25:23,013 --> 00:25:25,811
You just described a breath mint.
335
00:25:28,973 --> 00:25:33,728
- I don't know what else to say.
- I gathered that.
336
00:25:34,013 --> 00:25:37,767
All last night and today
you don't know what else to say.
337
00:25:38,053 --> 00:25:41,807
I'm inclined to think you have
nothing else to say.
338
00:25:43,613 --> 00:25:49,131
If you tell me to dial back friendship
with Ally, I will do it.
339
00:25:49,733 --> 00:25:54,887
If it's a threat, I'll do it,
whether you ask me to or not.
340
00:25:56,213 --> 00:25:59,205
Maybe I should leave this firm.
That's the easiest solution.
341
00:25:59,493 --> 00:26:02,132
I don't want that.
342
00:26:02,413 --> 00:26:05,405
I want to completely trust you.
343
00:26:07,893 --> 00:26:10,566
You don't now?
344
00:26:12,493 --> 00:26:14,529
No.
345
00:26:14,813 --> 00:26:18,931
Are you technically faithful? Yes.
346
00:26:19,213 --> 00:26:22,046
Are you totally faithful?
347
00:26:22,333 --> 00:26:24,164
No.
348
00:26:25,493 --> 00:26:29,725
When you go to her and repeat things
I have said to you...
349
00:26:29,973 --> 00:26:33,852
...when you go to her
as a sounding board...
350
00:26:34,053 --> 00:26:36,521
...for stuff that involves us...
351
00:26:36,813 --> 00:26:39,930
...that is not fidelity.
352
00:26:40,213 --> 00:26:44,047
She understands that.
Why can't you?
353
00:26:45,213 --> 00:26:47,124
But even...
354
00:26:47,413 --> 00:26:53,409
...when using her as a sounding board
helps us, as you said...?
355
00:26:55,493 --> 00:26:58,530
I need to feel that...
356
00:26:58,813 --> 00:27:04,490
...whatever our successes
or failures...
357
00:27:05,213 --> 00:27:08,285
...she's got no part of them.
358
00:27:16,293 --> 00:27:17,851
I get that.
359
00:27:57,893 --> 00:27:59,849
- Ally?
- Hey, John.
360
00:28:05,493 --> 00:28:07,563
May I be so bold as to
ask you something?
361
00:28:11,533 --> 00:28:12,363
Sure.
362
00:28:13,613 --> 00:28:14,648
Sure, but...
363
00:28:14,933 --> 00:28:18,972
...before you do, your fly...
364
00:28:20,693 --> 00:28:22,411
JOHN:
Chagrined.
365
00:28:29,893 --> 00:28:34,171
- You think Whipper will rule today?
- She implied she would.
366
00:28:34,613 --> 00:28:35,523
Umm...
367
00:28:36,413 --> 00:28:40,372
Listen, Ally, about the party...
368
00:28:53,453 --> 00:28:57,082
...would you go as my date?
369
00:29:01,653 --> 00:29:02,608
Well...
370
00:29:04,293 --> 00:29:08,332
John, I've actually been thinking
about that.
371
00:29:08,613 --> 00:29:11,207
You are my boss.
372
00:29:15,293 --> 00:29:17,761
- I understand.
- You see, it's...
373
00:29:18,573 --> 00:29:20,370
I understand.
374
00:29:35,293 --> 00:29:38,012
ELAINE SINGS:
I saw Mommy
375
00:29:38,213 --> 00:29:42,047
Kissing Santa Claus last night
376
00:29:42,253 --> 00:29:45,165
I saw Mommy
377
00:29:45,413 --> 00:29:48,450
Kissing Santa Claus
378
00:29:50,413 --> 00:29:54,850
- Look at her! Is this pop?
- It's like '70s slut-rock.
379
00:29:55,133 --> 00:29:57,408
RICHARD:
I like it.
380
00:29:57,693 --> 00:30:00,810
- Where's Whipper?
- She should be here any...
381
00:30:01,013 --> 00:30:02,287
[PAGER BEEPS]
382
00:30:03,813 --> 00:30:04,962
John Cage.
383
00:30:05,213 --> 00:30:07,249
- What's he want?
- You.
384
00:30:07,533 --> 00:30:10,843
- Whipper has a verdict.
- Now? Tonight?
385
00:30:11,133 --> 00:30:13,852
She's doing it
to kill the party.
386
00:30:14,133 --> 00:30:16,693
I'll go with you.
The Biscuit will meet you there.
387
00:30:18,493 --> 00:30:22,930
Underneath the beard
388
00:30:23,133 --> 00:30:26,205
So snowy white
389
00:30:26,733 --> 00:30:30,646
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
390
00:30:30,893 --> 00:30:33,930
If Daddy had only seen
391
00:30:34,133 --> 00:30:38,923
Mommy kissing Santa Claus
392
00:30:39,133 --> 00:30:41,328
Last night
393
00:30:44,213 --> 00:30:48,570
I've been married twice.
Both marriages failed miserably.
394
00:30:48,853 --> 00:30:53,847
WHIPPER: When I went to your home,
I saw something I never had.
395
00:30:54,133 --> 00:30:56,363
WHIPPER:
Something I still want.
396
00:30:56,653 --> 00:31:01,044
There's no reason for the Commonwealth
not to recognize a union of three.
397
00:31:01,973 --> 00:31:03,088
WHIPPER:
What's the big deal?
398
00:31:04,453 --> 00:31:08,048
I know the institution of marriage
is changing.
399
00:31:08,333 --> 00:31:13,646
I know there are a lot of people who
may not consider it a sanctity...
400
00:31:13,933 --> 00:31:18,848
...but I also know this isn't
an erosion I'll contribute to.
401
00:31:19,133 --> 00:31:24,048
You may be right,
but you picked the wrong judge.
402
00:31:24,333 --> 00:31:27,006
Plaintiff's motion denied.
403
00:31:31,413 --> 00:31:34,246
- We tried.
- Yeah.
404
00:31:37,133 --> 00:31:39,806
- I'm sorry.
- Yeah.
405
00:31:40,413 --> 00:31:46,090
- She, just, you know...
- Made the right decision?
406
00:31:53,773 --> 00:31:54,728
RICHARD:
Hey.
407
00:31:55,453 --> 00:31:59,844
There's a rumor
that you're naked under that robe.
408
00:32:01,013 --> 00:32:06,326
- Hi, Richard.
- I'm singing a song for you tonight.
409
00:32:06,613 --> 00:32:11,687
- It'll be our best party yet.
- That's nice.
410
00:32:18,213 --> 00:32:21,762
We laugh together.
We love together.
411
00:32:21,973 --> 00:32:24,203
Why introduce the notion
it'll work out?
412
00:32:25,933 --> 00:32:29,289
That's a holiday Fishism.
413
00:32:36,013 --> 00:32:40,404
- I'm afraid.
- Of what?
414
00:32:40,693 --> 00:32:42,206
My parents.
415
00:32:46,813 --> 00:32:50,249
All they did was fight. Scream.
416
00:32:50,533 --> 00:32:54,048
I grew up in my room wearing
headphones...
417
00:32:54,333 --> 00:32:57,609
...blaring music so I wouldn't hear.
418
00:33:00,733 --> 00:33:05,249
My heart actually quickened
at the end of songs...
419
00:33:05,533 --> 00:33:11,529
...'cause I knew that during the little
gap I'd be able to hear them.
420
00:33:11,933 --> 00:33:17,053
- You equate marriage with that?
- I equate dependence with that.
421
00:33:17,333 --> 00:33:22,043
Whipper, the fact that you're so
much older than me...
422
00:33:22,653 --> 00:33:23,802
It, uh...
423
00:33:24,613 --> 00:33:27,685
I chirp so proudly, "Doesn't matter."
It does.
424
00:33:27,933 --> 00:33:29,969
It's an automatic defense.
425
00:33:30,293 --> 00:33:32,761
The age difference
can't lead to permanence.
426
00:33:33,013 --> 00:33:36,289
There's a guardrail from day one.
427
00:33:37,973 --> 00:33:40,089
That aside...
428
00:33:43,413 --> 00:33:46,689
...I love you.
429
00:33:50,013 --> 00:33:55,087
- I don't work well with guardrails.
- Yeah, I know.
430
00:33:57,653 --> 00:33:58,802
We could get...
431
00:33:59,053 --> 00:34:02,443
...I don't know,
some counseling.
432
00:34:02,973 --> 00:34:05,441
Or I could get it.
433
00:34:07,013 --> 00:34:08,571
But for now...
434
00:34:08,773 --> 00:34:10,286
...let's just...
435
00:34:11,733 --> 00:34:14,531
...let's get through Christmas, okay?
436
00:34:16,413 --> 00:34:20,201
Sure. Let's get through Christmas.
437
00:34:24,253 --> 00:34:28,132
VONDA & RENEE SING:
Santa Claus is coming
438
00:34:28,333 --> 00:34:31,689
Santa Claus is coming
439
00:34:31,893 --> 00:34:34,612
Santa Claus is coming
440
00:34:34,853 --> 00:34:38,368
To town
441
00:34:38,733 --> 00:34:42,806
Oh, you better watch out,You better not cry
442
00:34:43,013 --> 00:34:46,892
Better not pout I'm telling you why
443
00:34:49,013 --> 00:34:55,009
- I really thought we'd win.
- Marriages should be twos, not threes.
444
00:34:55,693 --> 00:34:58,730
We thought you'd handle the appeal.
445
00:35:02,013 --> 00:35:06,165
- I'm sorry if I seemed a lunatic.
- No, you didn't.
446
00:35:06,453 --> 00:35:09,445
The truth is that I use him.
447
00:35:09,733 --> 00:35:12,372
- What?
- Billy.
448
00:35:12,733 --> 00:35:17,045
When I feel insecure or unsteady...
449
00:35:17,333 --> 00:35:20,564
...I grab ahold of things
that steady me.
450
00:35:22,133 --> 00:35:25,250
- Billy does that.
- I know.
451
00:35:25,533 --> 00:35:28,650
The weird thing is, so do you.
452
00:35:30,813 --> 00:35:34,852
- Me?
- Sometimes. I admire you, Georgia.
453
00:35:37,133 --> 00:35:39,089
How awful!
454
00:35:42,213 --> 00:35:46,411
- Here's to you, Barbie.
- To you, Skipper.
455
00:35:49,253 --> 00:35:51,483
He knows when you've been bad or good
456
00:35:51,693 --> 00:35:55,891
So be good, for goodness ' sake
457
00:36:11,213 --> 00:36:13,932
The party's happening.
458
00:36:14,733 --> 00:36:17,486
I'll be down shortly.
459
00:36:19,413 --> 00:36:21,847
You know, for Mindy...
460
00:36:22,133 --> 00:36:26,843
...her only chance to hold on
to her children's father...
461
00:36:27,133 --> 00:36:32,048
...was saying yes to this arrangement
with Patti.
462
00:36:32,333 --> 00:36:34,324
This I know.
463
00:36:35,333 --> 00:36:40,327
- Well, did she tell you that?
- She didn't have to.
464
00:36:43,213 --> 00:36:45,090
John...
465
00:36:46,213 --> 00:36:52,163
...let's go to the party as dates.
- Your first instinct was correct.
466
00:36:54,013 --> 00:36:55,412
Well, umm...
467
00:36:55,613 --> 00:36:59,686
I'd like to go with my current one.
468
00:37:04,013 --> 00:37:07,244
Maybe a glass of wine up here.
469
00:37:07,533 --> 00:37:11,651
- Noise troubles me.
- Wouldn't you like to dance?
470
00:37:11,933 --> 00:37:12,729
Oh...
471
00:37:15,013 --> 00:37:17,368
I'm not rhythmic.
472
00:37:20,133 --> 00:37:22,693
- Maybe a slow dance.
- Well...
473
00:37:23,133 --> 00:37:25,601
It isn't like dancing at all.
474
00:37:26,333 --> 00:37:29,052
It's two people leaning
on each other.
475
00:37:29,333 --> 00:37:33,770
As if they'd fall down
without the other to hold on to.
476
00:37:34,053 --> 00:37:36,487
It's very "Christmas."
477
00:37:40,213 --> 00:37:44,764
- Do you know that you're odd?
- I do.
478
00:37:59,533 --> 00:38:04,448
RICHARD:
I don 't remember what day it was
479
00:38:05,893 --> 00:38:10,808
I didn 't notice what time it was
480
00:38:12,053 --> 00:38:14,521
All I know is that
481
00:38:14,733 --> 00:38:17,167
I fell in love with you
482
00:38:17,373 --> 00:38:19,887
And if all my dreams come true
483
00:38:20,133 --> 00:38:23,284
I'll be spending time with you
484
00:38:24,413 --> 00:38:29,203
- You didn't say what you do.
- I run a network.
485
00:38:30,333 --> 00:38:33,086
That's a good one.
486
00:38:36,493 --> 00:38:39,166
Every time I kiss your lips
487
00:38:39,413 --> 00:38:41,973
My mind starts to wonder
488
00:38:42,213 --> 00:38:44,568
And if all my dreams come true
489
00:38:44,813 --> 00:38:48,044
I'll be spending time with you
490
00:38:48,293 --> 00:38:53,208
I love you more today than yesterday
491
00:38:55,013 --> 00:38:59,803
But not as much as tomorrow
492
00:39:00,973 --> 00:39:05,489
I love you more today than yesterday
493
00:39:06,533 --> 00:39:09,809
But darling not as much as
494
00:39:10,013 --> 00:39:12,925
Tomorrow
495
00:39:13,133 --> 00:39:14,646
Tomorrow
496
00:39:15,613 --> 00:39:20,243
To me, the meaning of Christmas
has always been Santa.
497
00:39:20,533 --> 00:39:22,842
Still is.
498
00:39:23,133 --> 00:39:27,251
You're allowed to believe in things
you know don't exist.
499
00:39:27,533 --> 00:39:32,653
I believed in him until I was 12.
I wouldn't give it up.
500
00:39:32,933 --> 00:39:35,845
- What made you stop?
- My mother.
501
00:39:36,133 --> 00:39:39,648
She told me he fondled the elves.
502
00:39:39,933 --> 00:39:45,212
Some therapist said to undermine
my admiration for him.
503
00:39:46,133 --> 00:39:52,049
Next year she said he died.
Heart attack. Cholesterol.
504
00:39:52,333 --> 00:39:55,484
I blamed myself for leaving cookies.
505
00:39:58,013 --> 00:40:03,041
Fat man trying to squeeze
through a narrow chimney...
506
00:40:03,333 --> 00:40:07,849
...and I taunt him with Oreos
and a glass of whole milk.
507
00:40:08,733 --> 00:40:11,691
And you call me odd.
508

VONDA SINGS:
Bells will be ringing
509
00:40:24,453 --> 00:40:27,889
The glad, glad news
510
00:40:28,653 --> 00:40:31,963
Oh, what a Christmas
511
00:40:32,533 --> 00:40:36,048
To have the blues
512
00:40:36,533 --> 00:40:39,445
My baby's gone
513
00:40:40,173 --> 00:40:43,006
And I have no friends
514
00:40:43,213 --> 00:40:48,048
ALLY: The other thing about slowdancing is the surrender of it all.
515
00:40:48,333 --> 00:40:51,689
ALLY:
Sometimes people need to surrender.
516
00:40:54,533 --> 00:40:58,685
Singing Silent Night
517
00:42:01,973 --> 00:42:03,008
OLD LADY:
