Four minutes, if you're quiet for four minutes,
I'll get you ice cream.

- That's my kind of negotiation.
- Eight minutes. That's my final offer.
- Guess they're not gonna be lawyers.
- [Lily and Mac] What?
- Nothing. I said you guys will make great lawyers.
[Lily and Mac yelling]
Ah! Ah.
- [Lily] No! - Cal!
- It's mine! - Hey, Cal!
I could use some help, I'm gonna be late.
Cal? Cal?
- Hey, Janie.
Sorry, man, I was up all night writing.
I need to sleep at some point.
- Did you get a lot done?
- Yeah! Yeah, yeah.
Come on! There's, like, nothing delicious in here.
No Oreos. Nothing processed at all.
- Yeah, well, you know, Oreos are out of season.
They don't harvest them til the spring.
- Then I think we should get a tree.
So if there was ever any kind of massive disaster,
we could live off the land, one Oreo at a time.
- Oh, you would be so happy.
[Cal sighs] [phone line ringing]
Hey, Dad, it's me, um, I tried your earlier,
I couldn't get you, but I'm off to work.
Um, I'll be back later tonight, so gimme a call.
Okay? Love you.

it's me, uh, have you talked to Dad?
I keep trying him. I don't know where he is.
Okay, well, call me. Love you.

[group gasping]
[actress whimpering]
[group screaming]
- [Sound Tech] Okay, cut.
All right, great job, guys.
That was a fun one.
Next up, we got a rooftop dance party. Have a look.
Let's make this one sexy.
Come on, I need big energy.

Cut! You can do better than that.
No, that was shit.
- I went to fucking Yale drama.
[patrons chattering]
So what am I supposed to do?
I'm 41, and guess what?
They cast me as the mother of 30-year-olds.
30-year-olds. I'm 41.
[Jane laughs]
I should have gotten a real job.
- It's true though.
It's like when Cal and I first met, we were so,
you know, wide-eyed and artsy and brimming with passion,
but it's not exactly the stuff mortgages are made of.
- Well, but you know, I got the girl
using all that wide-eyed passion, didn't I?
- [laughs] Yeah.
I've told you this story?
- No! - No, I don't think you have.
- Oh God, okay, so when I first met Cal,
he had just had his first short story published.
He was so full of himself, I can't even begin to tell you.
He was, he was like I was meeting Hemingway in his heyday.
- Oh, that is so not false.
[group laughs]
- So a friend of mine invited me to a poetry reading.
He swaggers over to me,
starts chatting me up.
A couple hours later we're wrapping it up,
I'm saying my goodbyes.
On my way out he stops me.
And he says, "Tonight, Three of Clubs, 10 o'clock.
Be there, if you know
what's good for the rest of your life."
[group laughs] - It was not that bad.
- So I'm on my way home that night,
and I remember sitting, you know that intersection
where Hollywood Boulevard and Laurel Canyon meet up?
- Yes. - I just sat there
at that stop sign thinking,
"Right, I go home, left, I meet the guy."
So, I went left.
- Well, I wanna propose a toast to the passionate,
brave, and ridiculous people we once were.
- Yes. - Cheers to that.
- [Stephanie] Cheers.

[phone chiming] [son yelling]
What? [gasps]
Okay. Hello?
- [Alex] Janie, it's Dad. He's in the hospital.
He did it again. You need to come home.
- Okay, so ballet's at 4:15.
Don't forget, you should get there a little bit early,
okay, to get her ready.
Also, you know, without me here,
you should probably just pack lunches
the night before, right?
And remember, it's gotta be SunButter.
Okay? Peanut butter's the devil.
We'll get kicked outta school.
- You're only going for a couple of days.
Now, their outfits might be a little weird,
but they will be fed and clothed and read to.
- Oh, that reminds me.
This is his favorite book.
"Donut Worry."
He's gonna try to get you to read it to him.
Don't fall for it.
- I got it. Promise.
The question is, are you okay? Hm?
You sure you don't want us to be there?
- No, no, no, my sisters will be there,
it'd be too much for the kids.
- Okay, okay.
Just say the word, and we're there, all right?
- Okay. - Yeah? All right.
- Kiddos, where are you?
Come here. Come here.
I love you, I love you, I love you and I miss you already!
Okay? I'll see you soon.

I mean, at some point, don't you just have to kinda call it?
- Oh my God, what is wrong with you?
- She's mean. You're mean.
- I'm honest. Someone has to say it.

You could also castle your king.
Oh, we'll talk about that later. [chuckles]
So, uh.
Hmm! Interesting.
[laughs] I like it.
[Kathryn chuckles]
So tell me, this face is beautiful when it smiles,
but it does not smile very often.
Hey, you say you, you go home to yourself.
No, uh, husband, kids, grandkids? Uh.
Okay. You want me to start?
I had a wife.
A wife I loved more than anything.
I met her one night at a bar, of all places.
I was drunk.
Pretty standard at that time in my life.
She was at this Irish place, Nick's, downtown.
And I talked to her,
I thought I was being funny and charming, [chuckles] happy.
She just listened quietly.
And when I finally shut up, she just looked at me
and asked why I was so sad.
She caught me so off guard. She saw everything in me.
Nobody could ever see me like that.
Except Janie.
Since her mother died, she's the closest.
- I had a son.
[upbeat music] [car tires crunching]
- Oh my God. It's still here?
- Yeah.
[Jane chuckles] [Harrison laughs]
- [Jane] Whoa. When was the last time you were here?
- I, ages. I don't know.
I mean, not since my parents sold the cabin.
- It's just crazy. - You know? Hasn't changed.
[Jane laughs]
- [Lyle] Hey, kids, go. Enjoy yourselves.
All right, what can I get you?
- [Harrison] Hey!
[Jane laughs] [Harrison laughs]
- Well, I'll be damned!
How y'all doing?
- Good. - How you been, Lyle?
- No, I've been good. I've been real good.
- [Harrison] Yeah? - Leinenkugel, right?
- [Jane] When in Rome. - Line- hey, hey, hey!
Sit your asses down. I'll bring 'em right out.
Drinks are on me.
- You sure? - Okay.
- All right. - Put your money away.
Go on. - All right, hey!
- Go on. - Hey!
[Lyle laughs]
- Like, he just seemed so old back then.
[Harrison laugh] Right, didn't he?
- Well, he was probably our age.
- Oh, God, don't tell me that.
- [Harrison] Maybe younger.
- Hope you ain't driving.
You ain't leaving here sober.
- We accept, we accept the challenge.
- Yeah. - Cheers.
- Cheers!
- Richie. That's my son.
- Hm.
- He was shy like me.
He worked at a movie theater.
- [Jack] Hmm.
- He loved the movies. [chuckles]
[Jack chuckles]
Seen everything.
And we would talk before he left,
and talk when he got back.
So, um, one day
I just didn't hear from him.
So I called him.
Nothing.
But I didn't, I didn't panic.
In the morning, when I still hadn't heard from him,
I got dressed and I remember
putting a, a brown sweater on,
and thinking,
"This is what I'll be wearing."
I just had a feeling.
So I went there,
and there was a sign on the door from his neighbors.
It said, "Richie's family,
please let us know when the service is.
We'd like to be there."
I guess the police never thought to call me.
He used to ride his bike to work.
And I remember taking comfort in that
because it was safer.
[gulps] He got hit by a car on his way
and he died in the ambulance.
And that was that.
I still have his ashes.
I've tried.
I have,
but I can't.
[Kathryn sobs]
It's all I have left of him.
[Kathryn sniffles and sobs]
- We were 17, probably your best customers.
- Yeah, I figured if you were gonna drink anyway,
you might as well drink here.
Nothing was gonna happen to you on my watch.
I had my eye on you.
- Ah. - You know,
I always figured that you two would end up together.
You got kids?
- Yeah. Kids and everything.
- Yeah? That's great.
Here's you two all grown up with kids. [laughing]
Hey, uh, I got something for you.
I'll be right back.
- You don't think he's gonna get-
- I- I do. I, really-
- He's gonna get the little sausages?
- I'm pretty confident it's gonna be those little sausages.
- No, you can't, I cannot.
- I- I- - I'm too-
- Definitely can't. - I cannot eat those.
- 20 years ago, maybe, I could stomach it,
but it's not.
[gentle bright music]
What? - What?
- Not bad, huh?
- Ah! - Come on. Come on.
- I can't believe you remember.
- I remember everything. Come on now.
Look at you! Mm-hmm.
Now come on in here now.
I'm too old to be doing this, buddy.
She's too, she's too young for me. Go on ahead.

- How many times do you think we stumbled down this path?
- I could do it in my sleep.
I could do it drunk in my sleep.
That's one of the things I always remembered about us.
We were buddies, you know, like,
I mean, we were in love,
but like, you were so cool and funny,
and we just did stuff together like friends.
I never had that again.
[bird screeching] - Hmm.
[gasps] Oh. [gentle poignant music]
I thought you said your parents sold it.
- They did.
[gentle poignant music]
[bird screeching]
Wow, it looks exactly the same.
- I know.
[gentle poignant music]
- This will be the true test.
[doors rattle and creak] [gentle uplifting music]
[Jane laughs]
- Oh my God. - Whoa.
[Harrison laughs]
[laughs] Okay.
[gentle bright music]
[box rattles]
[Jane sighs]
- [Harrison] Oh!
- What, oh!
- Oh, oh, no. That cannot be okay to drink.
That's been sitting here since we were like 18 years old.
Let's try it. Oh.
- Okay. Here we go. [liquid sloshing]
- Right. - Okay.
[Harrison inhales sharply] [gentle poignant music]
[Harrison groans and coughs]
- It's good. It's really good.
- [laughs] I mean, it, it weirdly tastes kind of fine.
- Hm. - No?
- [groans] I don't know.
[Jane laughs]
Do you see this? Look at this box of fireworks.
Look at this.
- Oh-oh. [sighs]
- Do you have a match?
[Jane chuckles]
This is going to blow your mind,
if it's not like too old and doesn't flop.
[Jane chuckles] But I have hopes.
Oh! Did it go?
No, it did not.
Come on. Come on, baby.
Come on.
No!
[Jane chuckles] No! It's a bust.
It's not gonna happen.
- [Jane] You really put your best effort in though. [laughs]
- What a bummer. [groans]
You realize Lyle thinks we're married
to each other, right? [laughs]
- I mean, he seemed so happy.
I just, I couldn't correct him.
- Yeah. [fireworks crackling]
- Oh! - Oh my God.
[Harrison laughs] [gentle poignant music]
- [Jane] You did it.
[Harrison exclaims] [fireworks crackling]
[gentle poignant music]
- So why aren't we?
- Why aren't we what?
- Married to each other?
Yeah, I- I can't stop asking myself.
I just wondered if you had a good answer, because I don't.
[fireworks crackling] [gentle poignant music]
[door handle clicks] [door creaks]
[door thuds]
- [Alex] You slut.
- [sighs] Nothing happened. Okay?
It was a trip down memory lane.
- It's 3:00 in the morning.
- And nothing happened. Okay?
- I love you, J, don't mess up your life.
[footsteps tapping]
I cannot believe we're validating this weirdness.
- Yeah, well, she's weird, but she's our sister.
We can't be total shitheads.
- Are we really shitheads if we don't condone this?
I mean, she calls them her royal family.
- [Juggler] Good morrow, my ladies.
[bright upbeat music]
- Ladies and gentlemen, I, Titan of the North Wind,
come to you today as a member of the royal courts.
We gather here to crown a new queen.
And we say goodbye to our going queen Cici Kelly.
[crowd applauding] [soft gentle bright music]
And today, she passes on the crown
to our next queen, Anastasia of Excelsior.
[crowd cheering and applauding]
- All right.
[crowd cheering and applauding]
- Queen Cici shall pass on her crown,
but not without the support of two fair maidens.
- This thing's hot.
- Maidens Jane and Alex, please approach the royal stage!
[crowd applauding]
Can Queen Cici's sisters, Jane and Alex, approach the stage?
[crowd applauding]
- Oh shit.
- What? What, what, what? - They're waiting for us.
- [Alex] Oh!
[crowd applauding and cheering]
[soft gentle bright music]
[birds chirping]
- Please kneel.
- I'm sorry, what's that? - [Jane] What?
- Please kneel.
- Like, right- - There?
- Do we, right now. - Right, on the con-
- Okay. - On the concrete,
That is? Okay.
- Here we go. - Okay.
- And bow.
- Really pushing it, buddy.
Really pushing it.
It's fine. Just gonna go with it.
- Cici Kelly, Queen of the Snow, step forth.
[birds chirping]
And will our new queen, Anastasia of Excelsior,
please step forward? [crowd applauding]
- This is a true honor.
I am humbled to assume the role of your queen.
And Cici, though you will just be a commoner again,
you will always be a queen in my eyes.
[crowd cheering and applauding]
- I hereby pass the honorable crown.
- Wait! [crowd exclaims]
- [Crowd Member] Oh God!
- Thy kingdom has made a grave error.
She's not supposed to be queen.
It's supposed be me. - I do, I-
Queen Ci- - She-
- Give it, give it.
- No. - Give it to me.
- Now, merry revelers, merry rev-
- Give it! - Merry revelers!
[phone chiming]
- No! No! - Give it to me!
- Hey! - Hello?
- Merry revelers, merry revelers, may we remain calm.
- Oh yeah. Hey, how are you?
- Give it to me! - Remain calm!
- I'm queen.
[Anastasia grunts] [fist thuds]
[crowd exclaims]
- You know what? Not a good time.
Okay, that's it.
You wanna punch somebody? You punch me.
Let's go.
- Alex, you don't need to get-
[crowd yelling] Give it a shot.
Come on, give it a shot.
- Ladies, please! No, ladies!
[fist thuds] [crowd exclaiming and yelling]
- I am really sorry about that. That really got away for me.
I still really wanna punch you in the face.
And we're back.
- Ha! - All right,
a little much, a little much.
[crowd screaming and yelling]
Oh my God, what is happening?
- I said, let's go! [crowd yelling]
- [Alex] My lady. - [Cici] Thank you.
- [Alex] Hmm.
- Well, I'm pretty sure that's never happened
at a crowning ceremony before.
- Yeah. Well, you guys are crazy.
I mean, you are crazy, but you!
You know, for a rich housewife, you're pretty scrappy.
- Don't mess with my sisters. I'll take you down. [chuckles]
[Cici chuckles]
- Well, we just made that whole thing
a lot more interesting.
We can say that. - [Alex] 100%.
- Right? [laughs] - [Alex] 100%.
Cici, I gotta ask you something.
Why? Why the Ren Fair of it all?
I mean, you've always been really weird,
but this kinda tops it.
- The truth?
- No, I'd like a load of bullshit, thanks.
- [sighs] I was 33.
I was working in this shitty cubicle job I hated,
I was single and depressed and I just thought,
"I need a thing."
You know? "I need something that's mine."
I mean, you guys. [scoffs]
Alex, you could be getting a divorce
and getting fired and you'd still come off
like you have this perfect life.
You have your shit together more than anyone I know.
And Janie, you have Cal. You have two amazing kids.
You're living this interesting life,
pursuing exactly what you wanna do.
And I just thought, "What am I doing?"
At least with this I have people, I have respect.
You guys might think they're losers, but they love me.
You know, they gimme something to hold onto.
♪ On a sunny day [soft gentle music]
- Really thought you were gonna say
you just like the outfits.
[Cici and Jane laugh]
- I do like the outfits.
[Alex laughs] - I'm so glad
you hooked us up.
I mean, this doesn't smell like a hundred years
of body odor at all.
- No. Yeah, they're great.
- [Jane] Really nice. - They're really great.
- [Cici] Look, I've always been the baby.
You two are kind of a hard act to follow.
- God, well, don't follow my act.
I'm not doing much of anything, right?
- Bullshit.
- Okay, instead of working and living the dream
as an actress, I do loop group.
I am the background noise to the other people
who have actually made it.
My husband is not ready to give up his dream,
which means I have no choice but to show up
and stare my failure directly in the face,
which, um, sucks.
Cici, you have a wide open playing field.
You don't know who you're gonna marry.
You don't know what's gonna happen next.
You don't know how the movie's gonna end, right?
And I mean, sometimes it's kinda hard
to have all the questions answered.
[soft gentle music]
- Wow.
This is really awkward, because my life
is pretty perfect and you guys are making me feel
really guilty about that.
- [chuckles] Okay. [Alex chuckles]
- It seriously is though.
Guys line up to fall in love with you.
You're the most confident person I know.
What are you stressed about?
- Well, mm, three marriages later,
I've had four miscarriages,
10 rounds of insemination,
five rounds of in vitro,
countless shots, blood tests,
tears, two divorces, and I have officially
gi- given up.
- What?
- It was just, it was easier
to say that I didn't want them
than to make you feel bad
for having 'em so easily.
I'm tough. I mean, that, that's, that's what I do best.
- Wow, I've never seen you cry before. This is so weird.
- Hey! - Oh my God.
I'm so sorry.
- Yes. - No, don't they,
they won't actually fall out.
They're just gonna kinda go back in
and I'll probably pee 'em out later.
[Jane laughs] That is enough.
The emotional window is closed for business.
- I'm sleeping with Titan.
- Quick turn, quick turn.
Really quick turn. - What?
- Okay. - Prince of the North Wind.
- The guy I just punched?
- Mm-hmm. - [Jane] Wait, hold on.
Isn't he your- - Brother.
- Mm-hmm.
- So that's some sick shit.
Okay. - You know.
- Hang on. We were right at eye level-
- Oh, we were. - With, you know.
- Right in there. - You know?
- So you met him? [Jane chuckles]
- King of the North Wind is wielding a mighty sword.
- Mm-hmm. [Jane laughs]
- That's, he's got a lot going on down there.
- You know what? To the mighty sword.
- Mightiest! - Girl!
- Mightiest. [glasses clinking]
[Jane and Alex chuckle]
[staff softly chattering]
- [Man] Thank you, dear. - [Woman] You're welcome.
- [Jane] Hi, Papa.
- Oh, there's my girl.
- How you feeling?
- I feel good.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- I, uh, I just talked to the kids.
Mac wants me to tell you that he pitched a no-hitter.
- Oh! Well, bring him with you next time, will you?
- I will.
Hey, uh, you gonna be okay with Alex?
- Would you be?
- [laughs] No. [Jack laughs]
- Yeah, I'll be fine.
So, um, Alex tells me you saw Harrison?
- God, she's got a big mouth.
[Jack scoffs] Uh, yeah, I saw Harrison.
- Mm-hmm?
- And that's it.
I saw him. Yeah, he looks great, and...
[sighs] What?
- Nothing! - I-
- [Kathryn] Can I interrupt?
- Huh! - I have your lunch.
- Ah, Kathryn and I are in the throes
of a chess championship match.
I was letting her win until I realized
she was just winning, whether I let her or not.
So now, I am playing to win.
[chess piece clunks] [Kathryn giggles]
Ooh, you wore purple again.
I told her purple was her color.
- [scoffs] Purple scrubs, very glamorous. [chuckles]
[Jack laughs] Cheese ravioli,
peas and jello. - Mm!
Ugh.
Delicious.
[Kathryn laughs]
[laughs] Thank you. - Welcome.
- Not as delicious as the brownies
she made me from scratch.
Beautiful, and bakes. What more do you want?
- Oh, Jack! [chuckles] Let me go get your meds.
- [exclaims] Ah, she's, uh.
- Beautiful, and bakes?
Are we, [chuckles] were you gonna tell me about this,
or just let me figure it out?
- I like her. What can I say?
[both chuckle]
- Eight years since Mom died,
I have never once seen you so much
as bat an eyelash at another woman.
- Mm, now you know I love your mother first,
more than anything.
- No, no. Dad, are you kidding me?
I'm ecstatic. I'm thrilled.
I don't want you to be alone, missing Mom.
I want you to be happy.
I mean, you, you deserve to be happy.
- Well, beautiful nurses aside,
you gotta get me outta here.
This, this stuff is gonna be the death of me.
[chuckles] Want a taste of it.
- No, I'm good. - Come on.
- I'm good, thank you.
[Jane chuckles] [Jack chuckles]
I'm telling you, he's smitten. [light upbeat music]
- [Alex] I just, I don't buy it.
- Well, buy it.
'Cause they're like a couple of hopped up 7th graders,
all giddy and giggling.
Well, it's pretty cute.
- Wasn't it weird though to see him with someone else?
- Mm.
No.
You know? I mean, Mom's been gone for eight years.
I think he deserves somebody like her.
- Well, yeah.
- No, no. No, no, I have an early flight.
- Yeah. - I can't, I can't-
- Yeah. No, you should just move here.
Everything's better when you're here.
- I mean, that's, that's an aggressive pour.
- Hm!
- Hey.
I'm headed home, I wanted to say goodnight.
- Sit with me.
- It is past your bedtime.
- I'm 75 years old. I don't have bedtime.
- [laughs] Okay.
- Yeah. [chuckles]
[both chuckling]
Tell me the best memory you have with Richie,
of all of 'em, tell me the best.
- Hmm.
When Richie's father left,
we, um, we were tight on money.
And so, for his graduation,
I saved up as much money as I could,
and took him on a trip to California.
- Mm! - He always wanted to go.
So I rented a convertible and we started in San Francisco
and drove all the way down the coast together.
It was just beautiful. [gentle music]
The jagged cliffs overlooking the ocean,
and you feel like you could just slide off the road
and be gone forever.
I mean, it was terrifying.
It was terrifying, but exhilarating.
And I remember Richie, he was driving,
and he had this big grin
on his face.
And I remember looking up at the sky
and the sun was shining down on us,
and for the first time,
I felt like everything was gonna be okay.
Hm, we were really, truly happy
in that moment.
- Mm.
Mooch over.
So, I get outta here in a few days.
And what do you say, you and I go to those cliffs?
We rent a convertible and we set Richie free.
We set you free.
I mean, you and I have seen enough sadness, haven't we?
[Jack chuckles]
[stone clattering]
- You know we're grownups now, right?
You could just go to the front door.
- With Alex guarding it? No, thank you.
[Jane scoffs]
You leave tomorrow, right?
[bird screeching]
In case another 20 years go by,
I had to say goodbye properly.
[Jane scoffs]
Come on!
- Okay. [chuckles]
[gentle music]
What, are you kidnapping me?
- Well, I was thinking more of a little tailgate cocktail,
but I'm open to the kidnapping idea.
[Jane laughs]
Sit right there.
- Oh, what's this?
- Mm-hmm.
[cork squeaks and pops]
She was a girl who stole my heart at 15.
More beautiful now than ever.
- Oh, please, it's like a load of bullshit,
but I will toast to it anyway.
- I'm not, I'm not finished yet. Okay?
Um, I've realized something. Okay?
I've realized
that you've had my heart all this time.
That, that I've lived my life and you live yours,
but I- I've, I've never,
I, Janie, I can't stop thinking about you.
I- I- I can't, I can't sleep at night.
I've pushed my flight back four times,
because I don't wanna go back
when I know you're here.
And I feel, I feel my heart skip a beat,
and I don't think we're old enough
to not ever feel that way again.
And look, I know that maybe you don't feel the same,
but I can see that, that you're happy around me.
That like, we're still us,
even though 20 years has flown by.
I mean, you know, the way you dance at Lyle's,
and sneak outta your sister's house,
I see you're happier and lighter.
- But we were 17- - I know.
And I don't know if you've thought about me,
but I have not stopped thinking about you.
- Harrison, we are- - Oh, I know, I know, I know.
I get it. I get it all, trust me.
But Janie, I can't shake this feeling.
We had magic
that we let slip through our fingers.
I have tried to tell myself otherwise, but I don't know,
from where I'm standing now,
I think I was absolutely crazy
to ever take one step away from you.
- Harrison, I don't,
I don't know if I understand exactly
what you're even saying-
- I'm saying I made a mistake.
It should have been you.
It should have been us all along.
[soft gentle music]
[phone chiming]
- Yeah? - [Alex] Where are you?
I'm standing in your room and you're not in it.
- Alex! Alex, calm down. - [Alex] It's Dad.
He collapsed in the hospital.
They don't know why. We gotta go right now.
If you wanted to get out of staying with me,
you didn't have to be so dramatic.
- [chuckles] I thought you were leaving this morning?
Don't stay because of me. I am fine!
- I'm just gonna stay another day or two.
Cal's gonna bring the kids. They wanna see you.
- Oh, you think I'm dying?
- Nobody thinks you're dying, Dad,
I, if I'm gonna stay another day or two,
I wanna see the kids.
- And Cal? Maybe Cal too?
- And Cal.
- Yeah, Mac and I can throw the ball around a little bit.
Yeah. [Cici sobbing]
- Okay. Okay, Cici, can you pull it together?
He's gonna be fine!
- You heard the doctor! He might not be fine.
- Okay. Can we talk about this later?
- No! I'm allowed to feel my feelings.
- Dammit, Cici. - This is a time
to be open and honest with each other.
- Okay, but- - Pull it together.
What's wrong with you? - Okay, just go easy
on her, Alex. - Oh,
the adulterous has spoken.
Yeah, let's all go easy on the crazy one.
- I'm not crazy!
- Shut it, Alex.
- [Alex] You know what? No.
You guys want openness and honesty?
I couldn't find Jane when the hospital called,
because Jane had snuck out my window
to go continue her little tryst with Harrison,
who I'm, I'm pretty sure she's seen more
than Dad since she's been home.
- You know what, I'm getting a little sick
of this big-sister-is-watching bullshit!
[Cici sobbing] - [Alex] Oh my God!
And you, would you pull it together?
He's not dying! At least not today!
What is wrong with you?
- I'm emotional.
- Big news flash. We all know that!
- I'm pregnant. Okay?
- [Jane] Oh my God.
- You're pregnant?
With who? Nanook of the North?
- Oh!
- You start sleeping
with unemployed Renaissance Festival loser
and you're, you're pregnant?
- She tells you she's pregnant
and that's what you say to her?
- [Alex] You know what, you know, no,
this makes sense, this makes sense.
'Cause neither of you has a job,
except for playing dress-up with all the other losers,
so why not?
Why not just have sex all day with the fucking weirdos?
Do you even know which one it is?
- The thing that you're doing right now?
This is what you do to everyone.
You drive everyone away with your nasty sarcasm
until once again, you're all alone.
- Wow. Wow, little Cici throwing out the big-girl insults.
Well, guess what? You win.
'Cause Lennie wants to leave me, so.
Does that make you happy?
- Well, why wouldn't he?
- Fuck you. - No, fuck you.
- And fuck you for messing with the one thing
any of us has going!
[footsteps tapping]
[Jane sighs]
- Really? - Oh, yeah.
[Jane groans]
- Cici! Alex!

But it's hard,
life and worrying about money and work.
And I feel tired.
Then I come back here and see Harrison
after all these years, and he said to me,
I- I seem lighter, and I do. [chuckles]
I feel young and pretty,
and like I have so much ahead of me,
and I guess I just haven't felt that way in a long time.
I mean, that sounds stupid, but it's true.
- Doesn't sound stupid.
Did I ever tell you about the girl I met in Zurich?
- There was a girl in Zurich?
- There was. Before your mother, of course.
I guess I was about 23.
I was on the train, minding my own business,
when this girl came on.
And this was, hands down,
the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen.
I couldn't take my eyes off her,
but of course I- I had no courage to say anything to her.
And then maybe, uh, three hours went by
and I looked at her, and sure enough,
she was looking at me.
She smiled, said hello, and we talked,
and it was magical.
And then the train slowed down in this little town
outside of Zurich, and she stood up.
It was her stop.
I wanted to go with her, but I was paralyzed.
She got off, and just as the train was pulling away,
she turned back and stared at me, smiling.
And all of a sudden I realized this could be it.
This was my chance.
So I, so I- I ran to try to get off the train,
but I, it was too late.
So I- I got off at the next town, I went right back,
but she was gone.
And I waited for hours and hours.
Never saw her again.
- That is so depressing.
- Wasn't depressing, my love,
because I met your mother,
[chuckles] and I fell madly in love with her.
But whenever your mother and I would have fights,
when we really had it out,
and I'd think to myself,
"I would've been so much better with her."
But that's because it wasn't real.
[gentle poignant music]
What your mother and I had, mm, it was real.
And it came with, with fights and bruises, [chuckles]
crying babies, teenagers slamming doors,
but it was real.
And it was perfect.
Hm.
[gentle poignant music]
I think everybody has that person,
that one that they,
they still wonder about,
that lives unblemished by our reality.
But they're a mirage, sweetie.
Yeah, there was this beautiful painting
of a girl in Zurich that hung in the recesses of my mind.
And then,
there was your mother,
that I hugged and, and loved,
listened to her belly laughs. [chuckles]
[gentle poignant music]
Don't,
don't trade a, a faded portrait for real love.
No, you.
[sighs] No.
[chuckles] Yeah.
Uh, what do you got? Oh.
- Uno! - Oh!
Huh, I used to be unbeatable at Uno!
I've lost my touch.
- [Nurse] Good morning, I'm so sorry, Mr. Kelly,
but we have to get you to your appointment
with Dr. Grayson pretty soon here.
- That's fine. - [Jane] Okay.
Hey, kiddos, let's go find Daddy.
He went and got you some food at the cafeteria, okay?
Okay.
- Yeah. - I love you, Papa.
- Yeah. I love you.
[soft gentle poignant music]
[Jane sighs]
[gentle poignant music]
[Jane chuckles]
[Mac and Lily yelling]
- Tonight?
- Yep, she called to lecture me,
said I had to be nice 'cause he might come in wardrobe.
- Like royal attire?
- I don't know.
That baby's gonna be born into such weirdness.
- Anybody want a beer? Janie?
- No, Janie's off the beer. Strictly bourbon these days.
- I'd love a beer. Thanks.
- [sighs] Strictly bourbon, huh?
- She's been just reliving her glory days
since she's been here. - Okay.
- A little stroll down memory lane.
- They're gonna love you.
- Heaven on Earth, I've won by wooing thee.
- What? Maybe let's tone it down just for my sisters, okay?
Maybe talk about baseball or something?
- I do not wish any companion in this world, but thee.
- Current events?
- Be what I love, with thee live my life.
- Okay, we're gonna talk about the weather.
Kinda like, "Lovely weather we're having.
Oh, look, it's sunny out."
- Okay, I don't know, is that wardrobe? What's wardrobe?
- [Jane] I don't know. - [Alex] That's a tall boot.
- [Jane] Okay, yeah, it is.
- Hey, guys. This is...
- Dan. You can just call me Dan.
- Okay. These are my sisters, Janie and Alex.
Janie's husband, Cal, and their kids, Lily and Mac.
- [Alex] All right, I'm gonna make a toast.
- Okay, Alex, maybe we let Dan get settled-
- No, no, no!
Come on. Don't drink that though, 'cause, you know.
Okay, Cici, yesterday you told us some pretty big news,
and I did not react in a way that I am proud of.
You brought Dan here to meet us and we welcome him.
As strange as you two may be, you're having a baby,
and that is a miraculous wonder to be celebrated.
Dan, we don't know you, but hopefully you're somewhat normal
and have a, a real job aside
from this little dress-up hobby that you play around in.
Yeah? Okay, to Cici and Dan.
- That's about as nice as she gets, so enjoy.
- I'll drink to that.
- Salud. - Salud.
- [Alex] You can just lick the salt around the edge.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
[Mac laughs]
- Come on! Get the ball, it's gonna fall.
Alex, would you happen to have a soccer net?
- [Alex] Uh-oh. Um, I don't know.
Lennie's got a bunch of crap down in whatever that thing is.
- Okay, I'll go look. - Okay.
[phone chiming and buzzing]
- Hello?
[soft somber music]
[somber music continues]
[car door thuds]
[somber music continues]
[Jane sighs] [slow soft somber music]
- [Jack] "When you are old and gray
and full of sleep,
and nodding by the fire, take down this book,
and slowly read, and dream of the soft look
your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep.
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
and loved your beauty with love,
false or true.
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
and loved the sorrows of your changing face.
And, bending down beside the glowing bars,
murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
and paced upon the mountains overhead,
and hid his face amid a crowd of stars."
[Jane sighs] [somber music]
[book thuds]
[Jane sobs] [somber music continues]
[soft somber music]
- There you are.
Been looking for you.
What are you doing in here?
[Cal sighs]
- You know those car washes?
The, uh, the kind you drive your car into
and then it just pulls you through
with all the crazy brushes and everything?
- [Cal] Yeah.
- The weirdest thing keeps happening to me.
The last three times
I've gone through one of those, I've cried.
[scoffs] Like, real tears streaming down my face.
You know I'm not even a crier,
and so what the hell am I doing,
crying in a car wash?
It occurred to me the last time,
as I was sitting there,
not driving, just being pulled through,
that that's how I feel.
Like we're moving, but nobody's driving the car anymore.
Being here and getting away from it all
I think I just realized,
we're getting older, the days come and go,
but we're not moving forward, we're stuck,
just being pulled along by time,
and I don't wanna just be pulled along anymore.
- I've let you down.
- No, it's not-
- Yeah, I've let you down.
[Jane sighs]
You know, when we met, we were young,
ready to conquer the world.
Had our sights set on some pretty big dreams.
- I feel so far away from those people.
- You feel far away from me?
[soft slow somber music]
[somber music]
- [Priest] "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul.
He guideth me along the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil,
for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff,
they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies.
Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over."
[guests chattering] [soft gentle bright music]
- [Cici] There's something for everybody.
And there's like Lusty Lassie's Night and Pirate Night,
but that's not really for the kids.
What it really is is like a celebration of the 16th century.
[gentle bright music] [guests chattering]
- [Woman] Yeah, yeah. So.
- Refill?
- Sure, why not?
Hey, who is that?
- That's Harrison.
- Oh. That's Harrison.
So how long has he been back?
- Hm,
long enough.
[soft gentle bright music] [footsteps tapping]
- [Harrison] You must be Cal?
Harrison Whitaker.
So glad we could finally meet,
I've heard great things about you.
- Oh, you heard a lot of great things about me, huh?
Now was that before or after
you tried to sleep with my wife?
- That's, uh, not fair.
- Wh- what's not fair? Huh?
The fact that I'm in LA with my kids
while you two play out some star-crossed lover of bullshit?
What are you doing here anyway, huh?
Trying to see what kind of post-funeral action you can get
while she's most vulnerable?
- Listen, you don't know the first thing about me or us.
- Us?
What, us, like, like, like you and Janie, huh?
- Hey, Cal, Lily's looking for you.
- [claps hands] Perfect timing.
There's not much more to say here.
[footsteps tapping] [soft gentle bright music]
- Oh, Cal! Cal, I wanted you to meet...
This is my dad's neighbor, Benny.
Uh, Benny, this is Cal, my husband.
- Yeah, well, how'd the two of you meet,
and what do you do in Los Angeles, Cal?
- Uh, we met, uh. [laughs]
I think Janie was having a very vulnerable moment
and I, uh, swooped in.
Something she may regret now.
Oh, and I'm a writer, Benny, not a very good one at that.
Nice to meet you.
[soft gentle bright music] [footsteps tapping]
- Uh.
What was that about?
- [Cal] Why don't you start?
You tell me what's going on and I'll fill you in.
- What does that mean?
- I'm, I'm standing at your father's funeral
and I feel like I'm watching a bad romance novel unfold.
High school lovers reunited,
making eyes at each other
while their spouses and children stand by.
- Cal, th- - You gave me
this whole analogy of a car wash and feeling stuck.
This, this, this whole monologue of bullshit.
When in fact you saw your old boyfriend
and he looks pretty good, right?
I mean, isn't that what this is really about?
And I felt awful.
Like, like, like I created this by, by, by not writing,
and not being able to let it go
and get a real fucking job,
and all that other shit I tell myself.
And then today, I see you and Harrison
and I think to myself, "Huh, wow,
we were doing pretty good before she came here,
so is this really about me or is it about him?"
- But we weren't okay. I wasn't okay.
Yes, I have seen Harrison, and you know what?
For the first time in a long time,
I don't feel like a robot on autopilot.
I feel [chuckles] alive, and-
- Alive. Wow.
[Jane sighs]
- Well, far be it for me
to stop you from feeling alive again.
I'm gonna, [clears throat]
I'm gonna take our kids back to LA.
And you figure out exactly what being alive means to you.
Because last I checked, we had a life.
It wasn't perfect, but it's certainly not
something I would've thrown away.
[Cal sighs] [solemn music]
[footsteps tapping]
- You okay?
- Mm. No.
I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
- I do. I mean, I get it.
But you throw the old model out for a new one
and pretty soon they're the old model too.
You know that, right?
I joke about my shitty track record,
but the truth is, I've messed up a lot of things in my life.
And I've always admired you
for just...
Not.
You always do the right thing,
even if it's not the shiniest thing in front of you.
I know Cal's not perfect,
but trust me, they all look shiny
when you're not married to them.
And then you get in there,
and whatever it is, there's something.
I'm on my third marriage and the truth is,
the first one was probably the best,
but I couldn't see it then.
I mean, being married pretty much sucks.
I don't know why I keep trying to get it right.
[both laugh]
But I do.
It's hard. It's not sexy, it's not exciting.
I mean, shit, being a grown-up on your own is hard enough.
I think this is about you.
It's not about Cal, it's not about Harrison.
It's about you, Janie.
- How come you didn't tell us about the baby thing?
- I didn't, I didn't know
how to need you guys.
I mean, I- I- I mean, I need, I need you guys.
I didn't, I didn't know how to admit it.
[soft somber music]
- Lennie loves you.
You know, maybe you could stand to soften
the blows every now and again.
[somber music]
- I'm sorry, why are we talking about me?
Are you deflecting?
'Cause your life is royally screwed,
and I would love to just focus on that.
I think that's really the focal point here.

[footsteps tapping]
- [Harrison] This is a nice surprise.
You got my texts?
- Yeah.
You see this?
- Yeah. [chuckles]
- This is us.
We are here in this picture.
It occurred to me tonight that every single person
I have ever loved has lived in the shadows of us.
Even me.
And tonight I realized why.
For me, you represent everything I was supposed to be.
Everything I was going to be, every dream I had.
You knew me when I believed it was all possible.
And being here with you makes me feel like that girl again.
- Well, isn't that what you want?
Isn't that how it's supposed to be?
- Yes. It's made me question everything.
You know, retrace my steps,
wondering if I did everything wrong,
but, but the truth is,
we were never real.
You know, we're like that first time you get drunk,
it's magical and euphoric,
but there's no hangover the next day,
there's no job, no diaper, no mortgages,
and, and I would not trade it for anything.
But I also wouldn't trade
the mortgages and diapers and headaches for anything.
- Janie, this sounds like a very fancy way
of saying you're settling.
- No.
I have this life that's real,
that's actually pretty great.
And better yet, I have this person to do it with
who is my favorite person in the world.
And yeah, we may bug each other,
and, and disappoint each other,
but in the end, he's my person.
- Oh, that's bullshit. Janie, that's bullshit.
I'm your person.
Come on. You're still my brown-eyed girl.
[Jane chuckles]
- You love that song.
Always called me your brown-eyed girl.
Even though my eyes are blue.
[gentle poignant music]
- You finally pull your head outta your ass?
- [sighs] I hate it when you're right.
- All right, well, what are we waiting for?
Let's get you to the airport.
