Previously on Brothers & Sisters.
you have been cold and you have been distant.
I am three days away from the launch of my presidential campaign.
I am a little tense.
Steve's polishing the revisions on the revised tenth draft.
Twelfth if you don't count the ten that I didn't show him before that.
he's really a wonderful teacher.
I really like him.
Yeah,I can tell.
He just dumped me.
We've been sleeping together for like a month.
You're smart and you're funny,and I'M.
I sort of can't stop thinking about you.
I'm really screwed up here because I'm falling in love with a saint.
I love you,too.
sarah's husband joe.
our--our joe?
He kissed me.
What?
I don't--I don't know how it happened.
He was showing me a chord,and then he just.
leaned in,and he kissed me.
Joe kissed you.
Oh,god,I shouldn't have said anything.
What? Look,no,we are--
we are seriously an affectionate family,
like annoyingly affectionate.
I mean,constant hugs and kisses.
So maybe--maybe this was just a platonic thing.
It wasn't platonic,trust me.
Oh,god,this is bad.
Oh,this is bad.
Are you--are you okay?
Yeah,I'm fine.
I'm--I'm just a little,um,
a little weirded out.
What was he thinking?
Oh,god,why was i even over there?
I mean,maybe he misinterpreted--
hey,he's married,okay?
And you're his wife's sister.
There is nothing to misinterpret.
It was one kiss.
Let's just forget it happened.
Okay,you can't tell me that my brother-in-law made a pass at you and then tell me to forget it.
I'm sorry,I can't do that.
You promised me you wouldn't say anything.
W-why are you protecting him?
Justin,this has nothing to do with joe.
I mean,seriously,do you have any idea what it's like being around your family?
It's terrifying.
It's like they're just waiting for me to screw up so they can hate me like they hate my mom.
Okay,that's not true.
They've all been trying to accept you,rebecca.
I know,I know.They're trying to be nice and decent because logically,
they know that none of this is my fault,
but I mean,god,when they look at me,I'm like this walking,
talking reminder that your-- that our dad was a liar.
Please,justin,I mean,if something happens with sarah and joe's marriage,
they're gonna blame me,and you know it.
Don't give them any ammunition to hate me.
Excuse me,mark.
Hi,nora.
Uh,I hope I'm not interrupting.
I-I just need your signature on this change of grade form.
There seems to have been some sort of clerical error.
You failed.
Well,you can't fail me.
You--you told me my writing was smart and urbane.
And I stand by that.
Here's the syllabus.
Read rule one.
Attendance mandat--
you've gotta be joking.
I missed one class.
I caught a cold from my grandchildren--
keats had consumption.
Flannery o'connor had lupus.D.H.Lawrence had malaria.
I can't believe you're this rigid.
Oh,okay.
If you're-- if you're so concerned about your grade,
how about a makeup session?
you free this weekend?
I know a great restaurant.
Wait a minute.
This is not a class.
You're asking me out.
Is this because I wouldn't go out on a date with you?
If it is,mister,let me tell you right now,
that's *** harassment,
and I don't plan to take that lying down.
The jokes that are running through my mind right now.
well,keep them there.
This is extortion.
I prefer to think of it as a mutually beneficial nudge in the right direction.
Okay.
Fine.
I'll gO.
Great.
But I won't get dressed up,and I won't have a good time.
And afterward.
I expect an A.
The class is pass/fail,nora.
I expect an A.
that was a disaster.
oh,so you were late.
Nobody expects the fund-raising things to start on time.
If I paid $2,300 a head,I would.
And I need to be better prepped on the guest list.
I called dennis locklin's wife colleen.
It's maureen.
I know,she told me.
The sea bass was tasty.
And endangered.
I'm the only republican working my *** off on the environment.
You'd think the staff would be able to put together an event that starts on time
and doesn't make me look like a grade-a hypocrite.
I'll talk to them.
Steve,can I see the new draft of that speech for the ride to L.A.?
Uh,you just asked for it an hour ago.
I don't have the new one yet.
I could show you the old one for both of our sakes,
I'm gonna pretend that the old one doesn't exist.
Senator,I do put effort into my work.
Oh,come on,steve.
Hope?
Everybody's talking about hope.
It's the biggest cliche in politics.
All right,that's it.That's it.
Walk away.Take a breath.
Take ten breaths.Count to ten.
Do whatever you need to do.
Just--just go.
Yeah,go.
Hey,guys,come on.
Where are the cars?
they're on the way.
look,steve,I'm sorry.
You know,you just have to understand that it has been a really bad day.
He's gone from being a politician to being a permanent fund-raiser.
So you want me to feel sorry for him?
No,no,I'm not asking you to feel sorry for him.
I'm just saying try and understand.
This is the way it is.
I postponed law school to work on his campaign because I thought that
he was the only candidate capable of taking the country into a new direction but--
I actually thought it was an honor to get this job.
Well,he appreciates that.
He's told me a hundred times.
Well,then why do I feel so beat up every time I show him my work?
You know,I don't know.
Just,uh,get back to L.A.
You take the helicopter.
Work on your speech in the morning.
He's expecting it tonight.
Don't worry about it.
I'm taking him with me.
Go.
And--and hopefully tomorrow when you see him,
he'll be a little more human.
Thanks,kitty.
Thank you,steve.
Ugh,finally.My god.
All right,let's go.
Gotta get the chopper.
You know what,honey?
We're not going in the chopper.
What do you mean? I have to get to L.A.
You are on the verge of alienating your entire staff,including me.
Now I'm taking you back to the ranch,
and I don't know what I'm gonna have to do,but if I have to,
I'm gonna force you to relax.
Anyou just made that decision by yourself?
That's a little bossy.
I like it.
What about the speech?
I gave steve the night off,too.
Get in the car.
Okay,well,don't worry about me.
I'll open my own door.
Hiya,justin,come on in.
What's up?
Ah,well,uh,sarah's at work,kids are at school.
I've been,uh,meaning to call you--
I know what happened with you and rebecca.
that you kissed her.
That's what she told you?
Justin,there's more to it th--
look,don't want the details.
- It was a mistake.
- Are you gonna tell sarah?
I wasn't planning on it,no.
Look,I'm an addict,okay?
Lying is second nature to me.
But it is selfish,and it is easy,
and in the end,people get hurt.
Okay,maybe it'll take a year or two years,
or in my dad's case 20 years,but you know what?
The truth always comes out.
I'm not your dad.
Come clean with sarah and do what he couldn'T.O?
if i donn't
Then I will.
okay,so bottom line,how much more do we need to raise prices to offset losses?
Oh,god.Okay.
I'll get back to you.
it's all fine early start on spring cleaning?
No.
We're going camping.
Oh,god.When?
This weekend.
I got the gear out of the garage,gassed up the car.
I can't this weekend,joe.
I'm swamped at work.
Which makes this weekend like every other weekend for the past year.
So come on.
It's only two days off.
Oh,sleeping on the ground in a musty old tent eating rehydrated chicken pot pie
doesn't really count as time off.
Why this weekend?
Because I want to spend time together and try and reconnect,
away from distractions.
well,what about next weekend?
I could book that great hotel up in la jolla.
It's got views,room service.
mattress.
I don't want to stay in a hotel.
I want to drive up the coast,pitch a tent on the beach just like we used to.
What about the kids?
Check the diningoom.
Kevin walker?
We're turning uncle kevin into a lion!
Yeah,and when the transformation is complete,
I'm gonna eat you up.
you're gonna babysit?
Yep.
Well,it looks like we're going camping.
Looks like.
it's not that I'm not grateful,
'cause it's hard to part with cash.
I don't care how much you have.
stop squirming.
I'm not squirming.
Someone taught you how to do this,right?
would you just relax?
It's an innate talent.
So no.
All right,shush.
Now don't move.
Here we go.
yeah,that fls good.
All right,move your hands.
Take a deep breath.
okay,picture yourself somewhere really,really beautiful.
like a beach.
Just the sound of the waves.
maybe a dolphin.
maybe a margarita.
what are you wearing?
Oh,this is not that kind of massage.
Well,that's disappointing.
n-no no,no.
Don't move.
Keep your eyes closed.
You're at the beach.
the cell phone reception is great on this beach.
fine.Don't move.
I'm gonna get it.
Thank you.
Hello?
Oh,yeah,yeah.
Hey,gary,what's up?
Oh,no,yeah,he-- he's here,but.
what?
Kitty.
Oh,my god!
Kitty,what happened?
It's the.
it's the campaign chopper.It crashed!
Kitty,who was on the chopper?
The pilot--the--and.
a staffer-- oh,my god,it was sve.
It was steve,the--the speechwriter.
I know who he is.
Oh,my god!
that is why men like.
camping more than women.
Oh,come oN.
Peeing outside isn't that bad.
Yeah,if you can whip it out and go,
but for us ladies,we have to balance and squat.
Well,this looks like you're making progress.
Yeah,I'd be done by now if I had an assist.
I can't believe you can remember how to do this.
It's like ridin' a bike.
Yeah,a smelly,old,musty bike.
Okay.
Good.
And voila.
Madam,we have a shelter.
I'm impressed.
Damn.
We'll just,uh,improvise a support beam.
Just have to look for A.
twig or something.
Maybe there's something over here.
After I take a break.
What are you doing?
Going swimming!
Joe,it's northern california.
The water's freezing.
So what?
Come on!
No,no,no,no.
I didn't pack a suit.
Yeah?
Me neither!
Joe,come on.
What if someone sees?
So what if some stranger gets aeek?
We'll be embarrassed for all of,what,two seconds?
Come on!
Since when did you get so shy?
You cannot goad me into skinny-dipping!
Not trying to!
I'm gonna cool off and have a swim,
and you can just hang here in the heat,look for a twig!
Are you really.
Is it cold?
It's ice-cold,and it's awesome!
Tricky,paige,very tricky.
Uncle kevin,can I ask you a question?
How come I got all the good looks in the family?
Why aren't you married?
uh,well,paige,um,
because gay people aren't allowed to get married.
Well,not--not in this state,anyway.
But that's not really fair.
I agree.
It's not fair.
Is that why yodon't have a boyfriend,
'cause you can't get married?
No.
Well,you know,I don't--I don't think I've met the rht guy yet.
Plus,you know,I'm very young.
I still have a lot of time left,
and some people aren't relationship types,you know?
Like,um,george clooney and.me.
and,uh.
george clooney.
you know,your aunt kitty's much,
much older than I am,and look at her.
But she's dating the senator.
I know,but that's all kind of new,and between you and me,
I wouldn't count on that rking out.
Coect four.
What? Where?
One,two,three,four.I win.
What? W-what?
Wait.Were you distracting me?
That was a setup.
Great strategy.
Wait till you're old enough for game night.
whatever they need,I want you to run it through my account.
Okay?
Of course.
Thank you.
Did u talk to the pilot's wife?
And did you talk to steven's parents?
They're in shock,I think.
god,I have such a headache.
I've tried rescheduling tomorrow's gala,but there's no way.
That's fine.
Is there,uh,anything else that we need to do that--
that we haven't thought of?
I just talked to gary.I told him I wanted to cover the expenses.
Did you know steve had two sisters?
No.
He was their youngest.
We need to figure out how you want to make your statement.
I don't know if you want to do a press conference,
or maybe you just want to sit down with somebody.
I'm not gonna go on tv and talk about this.
Robert,he was your speechwriter.
But this isn't about politics.
I'm not gonna exploit this kid's death to bolster my campaign.
I'm not asking you to.
But there are people on this campaign,people who work every day,
who are devastated and grieving,
and they need to know that you care.
Why would anyone think otherwise?
I'll release a statement in writing.
No,robert,you have to do it on camera.
And say what?
That it doesn't make any sense?
That it's awful and random and unjust?
I mean,kitty,I could barely pay this kid a compliment when he was alive.
I made his job endlessly frustrating,and I have to live with that.
But then to go on camera--
I'm sorry,but whatever crisis of conscience you are dealing with,
you're gonna have to put it to the side for now.
People are looking to you to show 'em how to react,and you--
you owe 'em that.
You owe steve that.
All right,all set--
shot given,teeth brushed,story read,kid asleep.
Clearly,I am the better uncle,hands down.
You didn't watch the wiggles and play connect four all night.
So they really went away,huh?
Yep.Joe planned it.
Wanted time alone with sarah.
What?
Just when they come home,there might be some tension.
Tension? It's a romantic getaway,isn't it?
Justin,don't make me cross-examine you,okay?
Those kids seriously wore me out.
All right,look,if I tell you something,
you have to promise not to say anything,like for real.
Not tell someone and then tell them not to say anything.
Okay,okay.
Promise.
Joe made a pass at rebecca.
- What?
- Yeah,I don't--I don't know.
She went over to,like,borrow a guitar or something--
justin,come on.That's insane,okay?
Rebecca's family,and joe would never do that.
You know what? He did.
You know this for sure?
Rebecca told me,and I believe her.
And I told joe that-- that he had to tell sarah.
Okay.
So clearly you haven't noticed the problems they've been having.
- What does that have to do with it?
- Don't you think it might have been a misunderstanding?
What if rebecca was exaggerating?
This could ruin sarah's marriage!
And sarah t knowing about it would help?
You weren't there.How do you know?
You only know what rebecca told you,and you barely know her.
Why would she lie,kevin?
Aw,justin,people lie all the time.
Why do you think I stay away from family law?
You should hear what people make up when they're angry.
They will say anything.
Half the time they don't even know they're telling lies
'cause they warp the truth so much in their own minds!
We don't need any more secretsokay?
This is not about us.
It's about sarah and her family.
Wh about paige and cooper?
Did you think about them when you gave joe your little ultimatum?
I can't believe you got me to go skinny-dipping.
I don't even remember the last time I did that.
I do.
You were six months pregnant with paige.
Santa anas were out of control.
It was hot as hell.
Our A.C.Broke.
We snuck into my parents' pool.
At 2:00 in the morning.
I thought your old man was gonna think we were intruders and shoot us.
you.
you,you just stripped down and dove in,
and your belly was just getting all big and round.
Oh,I must have been gorgeous.
You were.
Then and now.
I remember sitting there watching you.
and all I could think was,what did I do to deserve this woman?
I can'imagine you've bee thinking that lately.
Sarah.
I need you to know.
what?
What,joe?
Just.
I need you to know that.
I need you to know that I love you so much I can't even put it into words.
Oh,joe.
Listen,I am sorry if I've made you feel like everything's your fault.
No,don't apologize.
No,I need to.
I owe you that.
You know,with everything that's happened this year with my family,
I didn't want to take it out on you,and I.
I think I did.
I really want us to work.
So do I.
ever had ethiopian food?
No,but I'm not here for the food.
Well,either way I won,because you're here.
Relax.
Take in these new aromas and these tastes.
Just.
be in the moment.
There's no utensils.
Injera--all you need.
And no forks.
You know,in american culture,
our relationship to food is so sterile.
It's a cold,futional interplay between a metallic implement and our mouths.
In other cultures,it's like.
- Good?
- Excellent.
Here.
Oh,no.I am totally capable of feeding myself.
It's giving gursha.
In ethiopia,it's a tradition to feed friends and family.
and students?
And students,yes,with your hands.
Come on,nora.
Let your hair down.
That is quite tasty.
and hot.
I should have warned you.
I'm sorry.
It's good for me.
Spicy food,good for the digestion.
Yep,and it's a stimulant.
Well,oysters never worked on me,so don't get your hopes up.
No,not that kind of stimulant.
Hot food is a stimulant for the circulation.
Ah,yes,the circulation.
That's good,too.
I'm glad you came by.
I was so bored.
Sorry,all we have is ginger ale.
Thanks.
Actually,I wanted to talk to you about what happened with joe.
I already told you what happened.
I know,but the thing is.
I need to know more.
Like exactly how--
I thought we were dropping this.
Yeah,but you don't know what's going on,all right?
Sarah and joe have been married a long time,
and they're not in a good place right now.
So if what you're saying is true--
if?
You think I'm lying?
No,no.
I didn't-- no,I didn't say that.
You didn't have to.
All right.Okay,fine,justin.
You want to know what happened exactly?
I'll tell you.
I was sitting in my long-lost sister's house trying to be a part of a family
that I didn't even know that I had,
and her lechy husband leans over and kisses me.
Like,oh,hi,you must be the new family ***.
That's how it happened,justin.
He came on to me.
I can't--I can't have this conversation.
Um,you need to go.
Rebecca,I'm sorry.
I knew your family wouldn't believe me,
but I thought that you would.
I-I do believe you.
No,you don'T.
I'm sorry.
what was that all about?
This was wonderful,absolutely wonderful.
You seem surprised at having had a good time.
Well,the way you asked me out did leave a few things to be desired,
but I guess I should have kept an open mind.
Did you enjoy your meal?
Yes,very much.
As always.
Let me guess-- two glasses of honey wine?
No,no,no.
Just-- just the check,thank you.
Of course,mr.August.
She knows you.How does she know you?
I'm a frequent diner.
How frequent?
I'm a bachelor.
There's nothing in my refrigerator.
you bring all your first dates here,don't you?
You're not the first woman I've ever brought here.
oh,I am such an idiot.
You are another charming,intelligent louse.
This whole date is an act-- a well-orchestrated,
well-rehearsed act--
the romantic little table,the exotic setting.
You pretend to be so open,
and all of this is just your way of hiding behind your intellect,
using someone else's culture to make you seem so worldly,
so damn sexy.
Have you ever even been to ethiopia?
I didn't think so.
I assume this has fulfilled my attendance requirements,professor august.
Good night.
Justin,it's joe.
I need you to hear me out.
It was a mistake,
and I swear it will never happen again.
But this weekend,it reminded me how much I love your sister,
and she loves me,too,and,uh,
I can't lose her.
So if you want her to know,
then you're gonna have to tell her yourself.
joe,coop wants you to read where the wild things are with the scary voices.
I'll be right up.
Justin?
Yeah.
Look,don't worry.
I won't-- I won't say anything to her.
Thank you.
Good-bye.
Holly.
To what do I owe this unpleasant surprise?
We need to talk.
I thought the perk of you and tommy starting the winery was that we no longer needed to talk.
This is about rebecca.
Is she okay?
No,she's not.
She is upset and confused,not to mention mortified.
I'm sorry.What's--
you do know that your husband made a pass at her?
I'm sorry,holly,not even you can ruin my mood today.
He didn't tell you that he kissed her?
Well,believe me,he did.
I make it a policy never to believe a word that comes out of your mouth.
Then ask joe.
I'm not gonna dignify your ridiculous accusations by asking joe anything.
She is 20 years old.
He took advantage of her trust and her insecurity.
Look,I get it,holly.
You're upset that rebecca's spending time with my family.
So in some feeble attempt at payback,you're trying to ruin my marriage.
Well,you know,it's not gonna work.
Yeah,well,from what I understand,your marriage is already in shambles,
and honestly,I could care less.
What I do care about is my daughter,
and while your kids were at school and you were at work,
your husband generously offered to teach her the guitar.
Did I hit a nerve?
Is that scenario familiar?
Get out of my office.
So this isn't the first time that music lessons led to something--
I said get out.
Keep your washed-up husband away from my little girl.
as you all know,our campaign suffered a terrible loss in the helicopter crash two nights ago.
Along with the pilot paul sanderson,
we lost steven cohen,one of our junior speechwriters.
I have been trying ever since the accident to come to some sort of terms with their deaths.
They were sudden,tragic and premature.
And they call to mind the losses that so many of us are experiencing,
because in a time of war,
grief is not something shared by the few.
It's shared by the many.
Now that may sound like a cliche,but steve knew it wasn'T.
He came on to this campaign right out of college and from his very first day,
dedicated himself to our cause as a tireless and talented writer.
He had the courage of his convictions,
and like a lot of young people,he was an unabashed idealist.
Sometimes on the campaign trail,it's easy to forget those ideals.
But while others cloak themselves in cynicism or give in to apathy,
we must be unafraid to hope.
Hope is the simplest of words,and the hardest thing to have in politics.
And yet it is the vy foundation of democracy--
the hope of making a better country,
a better world,and not just for some of us,for everne.
Those are steve cohen's words.
Right before he died,I gave him a very hard time about this very passage.
To say that that was a mistake is an understatement.
I'm sorry,steve.
That's all for today.
You're home from wk early.
I got a head start on dinner.
Joe?
Did you kiss rebecca?
Joe?
It's not what you think,sarah.
It's stupid,inexcusable,and the second it happened,I stopped.
I don't even know hoit started.
Is that what this weekend was about?
I wanted to tell you.
I was going to.I meant to.
You dragged me to the middle of nowhere to tell me that you made out with my sister?
What were you afraid of,that I might yell or--
or break things or,god forbid,cry?
No,no.
I.
I thought if we could just get away.
Be alone.
I feel awful that it happened,
and,sarah,please--
please what?
What,joe? I thought I was going crazy,
that me worrying about your fidelitwas just--
just me being paranoid.
But I have to hear about it from holly?
Yeah,she was thrilled.
rubbing your indiscretion in my face.
Do you have any idea how humiliating this is?
Oh,right.
Stupid me.
Here I was thinking this had something to do with us,
when really it's just who has the upper hand in this ridiculous family feud you've got going on.
Oh,I'm sorry,joe.
Did I hurt your feelings?
Then tell me,please,what the appropriate response to you making out with my sister is.
What is the pot? You don't want to hear me.
You're pfectly content being righteous and angry.
Angry? Damn right,I am angry!
I'm angry at you,joe!
What have you become?
I don'T.I don't recognize you.
Do you want to know why?
Why?
Because I'm stuck in this life that you wanted.
Oh,god.
This--it's a suburban little world complete with two little kids and a picket fence.
You want me to apologize for our kids?
Screw you.
You know how much I love those kids.
But when we talked about starting a family,
you said nothing would change.
Yeah,I don't even know what to do with that.
Just don't pretend you didn't see it.
What,joe? See what?
Every decision--to have this home,to have the kids,
to go to work--they were choices that you made,
and I went along with them because I want to make you happy.
Great,great.
Now I get the big martyr speech.
- Joe,you don't get to be the victim.
- There's the typical sarah,
- you're the one who did something wrong,you!
- belittling everything I say.
Treating me like I am less than-- then nothing has changed,
because as far as you're concerned,
I don't do anything right!
So it's all my fault.
I drove you to seek out other women.
At least other women,they don't look at me like I am some insignificant burden,
like I'm not worthy of being with you.
Of course,that's why you moved on from vanessa to rebecca--
because she's naive enough to look at you,joe,
and see this good-looking older guy instead of a failed musician with
two failed marriages under his belt and three kids he can't support.
What are we even fighting for?
Do you even want to be with me?
Or is this a convenient excuse so that you can call noah?
I never acted on my feelings with noah.
But you wanted to for months,for years even.
So just tell me,sarah.
what is the big difference?
There is a huge difference.
Did you fantasize about him?
While we were making love,
did you wish that you were with noah?
Yes.
All the time.
Is that what you want to hear?
At least now we're being honest with each other.
You're the one that doesn't have the guts to face the truth about yourself.
You know what?
I'm leaving.
That's it?
You're just gonna walk out the door?
Why couldn't you just trust me to handle it?
Because it is not your responsibility to handle it.
I can't have you over there wondering if some man twice your age is trying to corner you.
Oh,don't you--don't you make this about me,mom.
You've been waiting for a chance to get back at sarah for telling me the truth about my father,and you found it.
That is not true.
Oh,isn't it?
They hate you,and you want them to hate me,too.
I have been very accepting of your relationship--
only because after lying to me my whole life,
you didn't have a leg to stand on.
Listen to me.
I have had a front-row seat to that family for years.
I know what it feels like to be an outsider,
how enticing they can be.
But whatever you think you want from them,
trust me,you are not going to get it this way.
Excuse me?
I know you,rebecca,
and I am guessing that joe did not just come on to you out of the blue.
Just because you're a ***,
it doesn't mean that I am.
Stop it!
No wonder he chose nora instead of you.
I just called to tell you that your grade has been officially changed.
Thank you.
Is there anything else?
Actually,there is.
Nora,I think that I didn't quite fully understand how insightful you are.
about people.
Is this your way of saying I wasn't wrong about you?
I guess.
Yes.
You know,and I find it utterly disconcerting and completely engagg.
I know you have every reason to say no,but.
would--would you give me the opportunity to try to make it up to you?
well.
maybe.
But this time,I get to choose the restaurant.
Of course.
actually,there's somebody at my door.
Okay.
Just call me with the time and place,and I'll be there.
All right.
I will.
Good-bye.
rebecca,sweetheart,are you all right?
Yeah,I'm fine.
Um,is justin here?
Yes.Yes,he's inside.
Come on in.
doing,like,a guitar lesson kind of thing with joe,just,you know.
Does sarah know about this?
My mother told her.
Holly told her?
God,I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.I didn't mean to come over here like this.
I just--I didn't--I didn't know where else to go.
No.
Rebecca,I'm sorry.
I'm sorry this has happened to you.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you for being so nice.
See,I told you she'd understand.
Do you think that maybe she can stay here,like,for a couple days,
just while--while things,like,sort of calm down?
do you want to do that?
That's--that's okay,mrs.Walker.
I have a lot of friends that I can stay with.Is fine.
no.
Rebecca.
you're welcome here.
You're family.
I'm not.
are you sure?
Justin,just show her the spare room,okay?
Well,where are you going?
I want to call sarah.
What are you doing out here?
The people with the checkbooks are inside.
I just needed some air.
Are you okay?
Yeah,I was just thinking about things,that's all.
I've been,uh,thinking about what you said up there on the podium,
about finding something to believe in and not letting yourself get cynical,
and I ink that i let myself get cynical.
No,the whole reason I hired you is that you're not cynical.
No,I'm not talking about my politics.
I'm talking about love.
It could have been us in that helicopter.
and when I think about that,and I think about all the things that I still want--
kitty,what are you afraid of?
Well,that's the thing.
See,that's the weird thing is that I'm not afraid.
I love you.
And no matter how I think about it,
I can't picture myself not loving you,
and I think that what we have not only feels good,but it.
it feels right.
It is right.
I-I don't know.Maybe it's the crash,
or maybe it's that I'm finally at an age where something really good feels really perfect,
but I don't think that I'm being overly sentimental.
- You're not.
- Just--you know,it really--
it makes me wonder.
It makes me wonder that if you love me the same way and being together makes us so happy,
then what the hell are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
Do you want to move in?
Will you marry me?
Oh,my god!
No.No,no,no.I didn'T.
Did I just say-- yes,I did.
Yes,-- I-- I just proposed to you.
- I think that you just did.
- I did.
Now,kitty,I'm not thworld's biggest traditionalist,
but where the hell is the ring?
Oh,god,I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.I didn't plan on saying that.
If I had planned on saying that,I would have never said it.
No,I-I'm just hoping that I can at least give it some thought.
Oh,yeah.Yeah,of course,you can think about it.
Think about it for a month.
Think about it for a year.
It was a joke.
it's just.you know.
Yeah,I know,you know.
You ow what? I'm gonna throw up.
I gotta go.
Are the kids in bed?
Yeah.
I apologize for storming out earlier.
Thank you.
So what now?
I don't know.
I don't know either.
My mother again.
she's called four times.
So the entire walker clan knows now?
I don't know.Maybe.
probably.
Listen,I'm really tired.
I'm gonna go to sleep.
Do you mind sleeping in the spare room tonight?
I was planning on it.
you just show 'em your f minor 9th.
wait,which one is that?
That is.
I thought this was cheating.
Oh,yeah,it is.
But there are only six people on the planet who know how to play this chord,
and lucky for you,I am one of them.
All right.
You're a natural.
Or maybe you're just a really good teacher.
maybe.
Wow,you have really good hands.
strong and soft at the same time.
I am so sorry.
I didn't mean to--I--
I don't even know why I.
you should go.
I don't have to.
Yes.
yes,you do.
Well,thanks for the guitar.
and the lesson.
