Épisode L'art d'aimer S01E15 - Brothers & Sisters Saison 1

Previously on "Brothers & Sisters"...

I slept with Mccallister.

So how was he?

What kind of guys do you go for? Come on, chad, what's his type?

I thought things were getting better.

They are.

Then why did I feel like the other woman

When I walked in here?

There is no one else that I would rather be with.

Your father was going to buy the winery. He died before he could give you the vineyard. He wanted you to run it.

Dad had another kid, with Holly. Her name is Rebecca.

Did you sleep with him? That's all I want to know.

You don't, actually.

I think the investment is right, and I think it's what dad wanted. I'm voting with Holly.

 

Sarah and Joe have couple problems.

Sarah : Joe? Did you

Joe : It's all right. It's fine.

Sarah : But, Joe, you didn't, did you?

Joe : It's fine, Sarah.

Sarah : Something's been happening in bed.

Joe : Lately, I haven't been able to let go. I just get a wave of, yeah, so I'm about to, uh, let go, and something blocks it.

Man : Blocks it?

Sarah : Do you think maybe you're thinking about someone else? Like, you don't really wanna be there with me?

Joe : That's not true. I get tired, thinking of the kids and teaching and

Sarah : Oh, come on, Joe. When we're making love, I don't think you're thinking about teaching.

Joe : Just say it then.

Sarah : It's Jessica’s mom, Vanessa. You can't let go with me Because you're thinking about her, and you feel guilty.

Man : Vanessa?

Joe : The mother of one of Paige’s friends. Sarah's convinced I have a thing for her, which is not true.

Sarah : I just think that this whole withholding thing began when you became friends with her. You know, teaching her how to play "proud Mary" Or whatever it was.

Joe : Our kids have play dates.

Sarah : Yeah, our kids, Joe, not us. We don't get to play.

Man : We have to stop now. Would you like to have another session this week? I think it would be productive. Hmm? Hmm, how about Thursday at 4:00?

Joe : Um, just that's good.

Sarah : 4:00? 4:30?

Man : 4:00.

Sarah : Okay, 4:00 it is.

 

Kitty and Robert in his office.

Kitty : So, senator the "San Jose mercury news" wants an interview about the strategic alliances Between silicon valley and the Asian markets, senator.

Robert : Who's it with?

Kitty : Uh, who's it with? It's with Bruce Newman, senator.

Robert : He hates me. In his last editorial, he said I wasn't as smart as Hillary Clinton, but I was prettier.

Kitty : Oh. Uh, well, do you want me to cancel it, senator?

Robert : Schedule it over the phone. Maybe he'll hear my ideas better if he's not getting lost in my blue eyes. And by the way, stop calling me "senator" every five seconds. It's oddly disconcerting.

Kitty : Well, it seems that the whole world knows about us. "People" magazine ran a photograph. "Page six" has a paragraph about us "canoodling." And I'm expecting a phone call from the "congressional quarterly" at any moment. So therefore, I now have to reestablish my professional standing with every single solitary person in this office, senator.

Robert : Kitty, look around. Nobody cares.

Kitty : Really? Then why is everybody looking at me like I'm the biggest slattern of the pacific rim?

Robert : "Slattern"?

Kitty : While you come off like some conquering, postmodern, Latter day Kennedy, not that I'm angry out that.

Robert : Kitty, this is the field office of the junior senator from California, not the lunchroom at Malibu high. They're all serious-Minded public servants Working to end poverty, make education and health care better. They're legislating, governing. We're making a better America.

Kitty : Oh, my god, you sound like a bumper sticker.

Robert : A good one? 'Cause that's one of the slogans we're working on for the campaign. "We're making a better America." What do you think?

Kitty : I think it's subronic.

Robert : Well, Noreen ran a field poll on it, and America agreed. It scored in the 80s.

Kitty : Well, America is sometimes wrong.

Robert : I think the democrats are already using that one.

Kitty : Well, I uh, I better leave. because if I stay in here any longer, everybody's going to assume that we are going at it like weasels.

Robert : Kitty. No one in this office is thinking about sex, just you.

Kitty : Right. Wow.

Robert : Cute outfit, by the way.

 

To Ojai, Tommy wants to buy the vineyard.

Saul : With no other business, Thank god this meeting is adjourned.

Sarah : I'm sorry, holly. I hope there are no hard feelings.

Holly : Hey, I lost this one. You won. It's only business, right?

Sarah : Well, the board agreed it wasn't the best time to buy a vineyard. Sorry you two were outvoted.

Holly : Tommy, thanks for voting with your gut.

Tommy : Yeah.

Saul : This never should have come to a vote. We should've settled this quietly. The board doesn't need to see us divided. That's a first.

Sarah : Oh, two of us voted with the family, Saul.

Tommy : I didn't vote as some cool rebellion against you. I studied the numbers. I wanted to buy it because it's a good deal.

Sarah : In your opinion, Which was not shared by the board.

Saul : All right, kids, come on. Put this one to bed, okay? Peace in our time.

Sarah : I studied the numbers, too, Tommy. You seem to forget that I actually know what I'm doing. That's why I'm here. Remember?

William : When you're blessed with a daughter who graduated with honors from the Wharton school of business...

Sarah : Dad.

William : Uh, you hope for the day when you might convince her to share the benefit of a rather expensive education. So after begging her and cajoling her, I finally convinced this wonderful, beautiful brilliant woman to take a leave of absence from her fancy corporate job at north light coffee, and temporarily commend help her old man out.

Sarah : It's my pleasure, daddy.

 

Nora wants to write shorts stories.

Nora : Maybe my paintings are in the other box upstairs.

Kevin : Well, I'm not dragging any more boxes out of the attic, mom.

Nora : I just want an opinion before I think about classes or art school.

Kevin : Why is my opinion of your artistic talent relevant?

Nora : Because, Kevin, you have a certain something that your other siblings lack an aesthetic.

Kevin : You mean 'cause I'm gay.

Nora : Oh. Oh. Here. Oh. Okay, now tell me what you think. God, I remember when I did this. I was about 20, taking art classes. I hadn't even met your dad yet. I just thought I could do anything, just be an artist. It's bad. All right, I knew it. I just, I just feel like i have so much to say. Ooh, look at this.

Kevin : What is it, Chad?

Chad : Kevin, listen I need to talk to you.

Kevin : I don't think so.

Chad : Just meet me. Please? I broke up with Michelle. Come on, just meet me, please.

Kevin : North light coffee, Figueroa and 6th. Half an hour.

Nora : Listen to this.

Kevin : I can't. I have to go, mom.

Nora : No, listen to this. It was a short story I was writing and then abandoned Right before your father and I got married.

Short stories? Painting? Who knew you were so creative?

Just listen. She drove up the coast road, crying. Deep down, she knew that love was a lie she had sold herself, so she wouldn't grow old alone, a lie that would cost her everything.

Kevin : Wow, mom. That's, that's heavy.

Nora : I never finished it. I guess I got too scared.

Kevin : See you later.

Nora : Bye.

 

Chad ask Kevin for having a last date.

Chad : Something's happening to me. I just keep thinking about you.

Kevin : Look, that, that may be, but I can't do this whole push and pull routine. You know, it's so retrograde. And I'm sorry, I'm not slinking back into some closet for you. Politically, it's

Chad : Forget closets. Forget politics. I was really happy waking up next to you. I don't know what it is.

Kevin : You're an actor. You're acting. You're going after your "goal" Or whatever the hell they call it. They teach you this crap in acting school.

Chad : I didn't go to school, and I'm not that good an actor. Just one date.

 

Kitty sees polls about herself.

Kitty : Hey, Noreen, can I get a copy of the new polling data?

Noreen : Which poll are you talking about?

Kitty : Well, the ones where you tested the new slogans.

Noreen : Oh, that one. Yeah.

Kitty : Why? Is there another one?

Noreen : Oh, there's always another poll. It's endless. I have numbers on the senator's tie color if you want to see those.

Kitty : Actually, I wanna see all the data that you get. Can you copy to me on everything?

Gary : These polling numbers are giving me heartburn. Oh, Kitty. Hi.

Kitty : Hi, Gary. What are those numbers?

Gary : It's...

Kitty : Can I see? Thank you. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. You did, you did, you did a poll on me?

Gary : Not bad. We got some decent press coverage. Not to mention, kitty, that was fantastic. You and the kids and the cooking and everything. Very warm. Very warm. I love that. Okay, I'll get the car.

Kitty : So that's what this was all about? Making me look cuddly for public consumption?

Robert : You're not talking about that stupid poll, are you?

Kitty : So you did know about it. Well, senator, you better tell me right now that you didn't order it, or you will have the world's first assassination by spatula.

Robert : Look, of course I didn't order it. It was a misguided attempt by a well-Meaning staffer who wanted to assess the public's perception of my personal strengths and liabilities.

Kitty : Oh, except it wasn't about your personal strengths and liabilities. It was about mine, and whether or not America is going to approve of us as a couple.

Robert : It was a mistake. It's been taken care of. Let's move on.

Kitty : Well, no, no, no, please, just tell me who requested it. It was Noreen, wasn't it?

Robert : Oh, what does it matter who. Yes, it was Noreen. Okay, but the numbers are completely off. I promise you.

Kitty : Oh. Why? What were they?

Robert : You didn't read the poll?

Kitty : No. I accidentally crumpled it up into a tiny, little ball.

Robert : Good. Let's keep it that way. You coming?

Kitty : Uh, uh, no. No, I'm, I'm gonna, um, you go ahead. I'll see you there. I'm gonna ride with Gary. Uh, so, Gary, you, you think I could bring my numbers up with a few more of these events?

Gary : Well, we're never gonna get you into positive range, But maybe we can bump you up out of the low 30s.

Kitty : The lows 30s? Wow. Wow, I-I was in the low 30s?

Gary : Low to mid.

Kitty : "Low to mid"?

 

Tommy ask Saul if William wanted to buy the vineyard for Tommy.

Saul : Tommy?

Tommy : Hey, Saul, listen, I, I need to ask you something.

Saul : Anything. What is it?

Tommy : You have a relationship with holly that nobody else does, obviously. Find something out for me. Look, I need to know if she was telling the truth about dad buying the winery for me to run, or if she just made the whole thing up to, you know, get my vote.

Saul : Look, she would never do anything like that. But I want you to listen to me. You have to move on.

Tommy : No. If my dad died before he had a chance to tell me he believed in me, in my abilities. I need, I need to know that.

Saul : Why would you even doubt that? Don't you know? You are him.

Tommy : Am I?

Saul : Yes.

Tommy : So why did he take the company from me, Saul? The union's not gonna stand for these huge deductibles.

Sarah : In case of catastrophic illness, we'll pay the employee deductible And still save 20%.

William : Look at you two. I can't tell you how much this warms my heart, to see the two of you guys working together. And how proud I am to have two members of my family who wanna be a part of what I’ve built here. I'm very grateful.

Sarah : Thanks, daddy.

William : Tommy, you listen to your sister now. She knows her stuff.

Tommy : I know, dad.

William : Now I think I may have talked her into making it permanent. Okay, you guys get back to work. I'm gonna go home, hug your mother, tell her what a great job she did with you two. Good night.

Tommy : Night, dad.

Sarah : , Tommy.

Tommy : It's okay. I knew this was coming. I just wish you would've told me up front This is what you wanted.

Sarah : Nothing's been decided. It's, um, you know, it wasn't planned. It's just kind of fallen into place.

Tommy : Look, I’ve spent 12 years learning this business. In a matter of weeks, you've turned me into a-A junior partner.

Sarah : Oh, come on.

Tommy : It didn't happen by accident. It didn't just fall into place.

Sarah : Look, Tommy, all I’ve done is come here and work hard. If there was a plan, it was dad's, not mine. Maybe he's the one you should be mad at.

 

Joe comes back home, he sees Vanessa who talks to Sarah.

Vanessa : It was one of those friendly divorces. You know, everyone was better off.

Sarah : How do you manage work and bringing a kid up by yourself?

Vanessa : I have a good mom, a nanny, and I can do graphic design from home, thank god.

Sarah : Well, that's good.

Joe : Hey. Oh.

Sarah : Hi.

Joe : Hi, Vanessa.

Vanessa : Hey.

Sarah : Hi, hon. Tea?

Joe : Tea? Uh, no.

Vanessa : Sarah invited me for a grown-up play date.

Joe : Cool. That's great.

Sarah : The girls are upstairs drawing, if you wanna say hi.

Joe : Yeah. I'll go check on the girls. You know what it felt like? It felt like I was being sidelined, like you were co-Opting my friend and spying on me.

Sarah : No, I just, I wanted to get to know her, to, to see what you

Joe : This woman, I have no interest in her.

Man : Sarah? With all you've learned recently about your father and his infidelities. That could have some bearing here, no?

Sarah : I don't know. Maybe.

Joe : I won't pay for William's crimes.

Sarah : And I won't pay for the fact that I am trying to have a career and be a wife and mom. God, I dream of being at home to watch those kids grow up!

Joe : Sarah, I don't blame you for working. I choose to be a stay-at-home dad. You have no idea how small the day can be. I mean, it's peanut butter sandwiches and scrapes and picking them up, and that's fine. But don't begrudge me being hungry for a little bit of adult company in the midst of all that.

Sarah : Oh, I'm not enough company for you? You're, you're looking for something. I'm not enough for you.

Joe : Am I enough for you? Honestly, am I enough? God! This is just hell, coming here. It's just hell.

 

Sarah is talking bout Noah to Nora.

Nora : Oh, Sarah, you don't really think anything happened between Joe and Vanessa?

Sarah : No, but it's brought up some things from my past I haven't come to terms with.

Nora : Sarah, tell me what's happening.

Sarah : Ugh. Okay. One of the reasons that I left north light so abruptly was that there was this man there Noah. Nothing happened, but it could have. There was a connection. He, you know, had passions, had made himself in the world. I found myself looking forward to seeing him. I started to dress for it and make myself...

Nora : Beautiful.

Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. Oh, god, we came so close. It was whoa, it was like vertigo.

Nora : And Joe, does Joe know?

Sarah : No. No, I’ve never told him.

Nora : Now you're playing "what if..." what if you'd gone through with it? Have, have you seen Noah again?

Sarah : No. No, i-I-I don't think it's about Noah.

Nora : No, I don't think so either. It is about you and Joe.

Sarah : There's this terrible, bruised silence between us. Therapy's not helping. I don't know what to do.

Nora : Tell him. Sarah, tell Joe everything. Then I think about your father, and how much torture he must have gone through, holding all those secrets so close for so long. Sarah, just tell Joe everything.

Sarah : What would you have done, if he'd told you?

Nora : Well I'll never have the chance to find out, will I?

 

Julia and Tommy are in the hospital

Julia : Oh, my god. Tommy, look at our baby.

Tommy : I can't believe I saw our baby's face. Can you do that again?

Woman : I'll try. He's being a little shy.

Tommy : He?

Woman : Or she.

Tommy : Because I definitely think I saw a penis go by a minute ago. Look, right, right there. What's that?

Woman : That's a thumb.

Tommy : A big thumb.

Julia : In case you can't tell, doctor, my husband wants a boy.

Tommy : That is not true. I would love a little girl. Mmm.

Julia : Feet! Oh, look at those adorable little toes.

Tommy : Look! See? Right there, that's definitely a penis!

Woman : No, that would be a foot.

Tommy : Doc, I'm about eight years shy of my medical degree, I'm pretty sure that makes three feet.

Woman : Yep, and that right there is the fourth one.

Tommy : Oh, my god!

Julia : Twins?

Woman : Congratulations.

Julia : You okay with at?

Tommy : Yes! Oh, my god, I get to be a dad twice. What could be better than that? Hey, do it again. I wanna...

 

Robert comes to Nora's house, Kitty is still there.

Robert : Hi. You left the dinner for concerned women of America so quickly, you didn't get dessert, so I brought you some.

Kitty : Well, they were looking a little less concerned there at the end, so I snuck out.

Robert : I hope I'm not coming by too late.

Kitty : No, no. Justin and Nora are out.

Robert : Good. Mmm. I have got to do that more often.

Kitty : Oh, well, you may wanna check with your handlers first.

Robert : You're not still upset about that poll.

Kitty : Well, of course I'm still upset I mean, what I don't understand is how come you're not.

Robert : Because I don't care

Kitty : Well, that's not what I mean. I, I'm talking about why isn't the person who, who did this still has a job.

Robert : I, I told you

Kitty : Well, well, I guess I don't do what I'm told, because look, look right here. I'm overbearing and I'm opinionated. Oh, and another thing aloof. Now that's a big one. Apparently, I'm very aloof.

Robert : Kitty

Kitty : No, no, no, maybe you're just reacting to my general lack of warmth. Mm-Hmm. Or maybe it's just my general appearance is wrong. I'm

Robert : Stop it.

Kitty : No, my hair is too blonde or my clothes are too expensive. Or maybe I'm just too damn thin.

Robert : Are you done?

Kitty : No. I wanna know why Noreen the polling witch still has a job.

Robert : This has nothing to do with Noreen, and you know it.

Kitty : You know what? I give that a 5--Strongly disagree.

Robert : All right, Kitty, listen, when this fever of thin-skinned behavior's passed, we'll talk.

Nora : Oh.

Kitty : Mom, what are you doing?

Nora : Nothing. Nothing. I just got here and found Justin here lurking at the front door.

Justin : I wasn't lurking.

Nora : why didn't you go in?

Justin : Because Kitty was yelling at the senator, mom.

Nora : Justin, it really isn't any of our business.

Robert : You know, I think this is

Nora : No, no. No, really, you guys go ahead. We'll just get out of your way. Oh, look a swan.

Kitty : Mom.

Robert : Nora, Kitty, good night. Justin.

Justin : Good night.

Robert : We'll talk tomorrow.

Nora : You were yelling at him?

Kitty : Mmm. Mm-Hmm, and you were right. It's none of your business.

Nora : Yes, yes, of course. I just hope it was about funding for the arts. Justin, come on!

Kitty : Come here. Come here. Do you, um do, do you think that I'm aloof?

Justin : Yeah. Are you gonna eat this?

 

In the past.

Tommy : Everybody gives me the same damn advice when I say I miss you. They say, talk to him like you'll answer. I mean, lately, I’d just like to ask you what the, what the hell is going on. You left so many plans unfinished. Unfinished. I'm having kids two, a boy and a girl. This is not the way I imagined breaking that bit of news to you. Truth is, I hope I'm smart enough to give 'em the good bits you gave me and I hope to god I can spare them your other side.

William : So what is this, Tommy? You come all the way out here just to spout off and leave?

Tommy : There's nothing left to say, dad. You tell me to be patient, to trust you, and then you,you hand Sarah the business. I mean, how, how blind are you? Do you think that left me feeling okay?!

William : I had no idea you were so jealous about your sister.

Tommy : Oh, you didn't? I'm human, okay? I mean, I thought I was doing a good job for you. I, I thought you trusted me. What did I do wrong, dad?

William : You didn't do, you didn't

Tommy : Please tell me, what did I do wrong?

William : You didn't do anything wrong. Tommy, I’ve always had plans for you.

Tommy : That's your mantra, isn't it? Well, what are they? Tell me.

William : Nothing solid yet. You've just gotta patient. When the time comes, I'm

Holly : William? Where'd you go? I'm opening another bottle!

William : What are you gonna do, Tommy?

Tommy : Nothing, dad. I'm, I'm just gonna go back to work, okay?

 

Kitty and Justin are eating in the kitchen.

Justin : Well, this is fun. Home on a Saturday night, just like the good old days.

Kitty : You were never home on a Saturday night.

Justin : I was, too, when I was grounded so actually, we were home a lot of Saturday nights.

Kitty : Mmm! God, this is good.

Justin : I think that's why Tyler likes me again. Because I made her one, and now she's like my little prisoner of love.

Kitty : I can't believe you got Tyler back. I mean, it's unbelievable. You spend your whole life being forgiven and making girls forget.

Justin : Don't worry. It's nonalcoholic. And that's the point, right? I mean, you, you sort of take new paths. It's, like, the adult thing to do, I guess.

Kitty : Oh, god. They did this poll. You know, as if I were an issue which I guess I probably am like global warming or, you know, his tan. But it was, it was really so demeaning and so unsubstantial. And do you know that they actually said I was overbearing?

Justin : Will you stop bitching? Okay, I mean, it was your dumb-ass choice to go into politics in the first place. And you spent what, years writing about other people? But now you're in it. It's not like watching anymore. It's like war.

Kitty : Hmm. And what exactly is your point?

Justin : All right, the senator is a soldier, right? A good one, maybe even a great one, and he and everyone who works for him, he wants the best Intel for the mission. And you know what? You're a factor. Like, a big factor.

Kitty : I liked you so much better when you were stupid.

Justin : You're stupid.

Kitty : You're stupid.

Justin : You're stupider.

Kitty : You're the stupidest.

Nora : Aw. Look at you two. It reminds me of when you were kids. Um, would you listen to something From my writing class? Now I really just want a very honest reaction, okay?

Kitty : Uh, well, because Justin is in one of his truth-telling moods.

Justin : I hate you.

Nora : All right, here we go. As she drove up the coast road, she considered her options. There was always drugs or running away or taking on a new identity in one of those towns up the coast where nobody would know her, except it would have to be very far up the coast, because Dora was so well-known on that coast

Kitty : Dora?

Justin : Dora?

Nora : It's fiction. Look at the two of you. All right, all right. Here we go.

Kitty : Stop it. Stop.

Nora : Dora sped into the night, dreaming of freedom...An impossible freedom and a new life.

Kitty : A new life?

Justin : It's good, mom. It's really--Dora--

Kitty : Yeah.

Nora : Thanks. Thanks, thanks, thanks.

 

Kevin give a present to Chad.

Kevin : This is for you.

Chad : Thanks. Whoa. "Letters to a young poet."

Kevin : Yeah, my mom has suddenly taken up writing, So I got her a copy, And I thought you might like one, too. Uh, have you read it?

Chad : It's only my "due north," Kevin. "Love is difficult. "For one human being to love another human being "That is the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us, "The final test and proof, "The work for which all other work Is merely preparation."

Kevin : Wow. And, um, do you believe that?

Chad : That love is difficult? I've never been good at it. I mean, look at me and you. Is it easy for you?

Kevin : Um, I would say I, I basically screw it up. Yeah, or become wildly interested in the chronically, hugely, available. Like you, for instance.

Chad : Kevin, you really have no idea how available I am. You know, whatever journey I’ve been on, I think at age 34, I’ve finally, maybe found out who I wanna be, and where I wanna go. And who I wanna go there with.

Kevin : This is the greatest friggin' restaurant on earth, isn't it? Hello?

Michelle : Kevin? It's Michelle. Chad's Michelle. Look, you should know this--

Kevin : Oh, god. Um, what, what, why, why are you doing this?

Michelle : 'Cause I like you, that's why. He's done this before. It's his thing. He's gonna get real close to you and then he's gonna be tortured. And he's gonna find some girl like me, and you're never going to speak to him again ever.

Kevin : He hurt you, didn't he?

Michelle : No. I'll be fine. It's you I'm worried about.

 

Joe talks about his problems to the doctor.

Man : Joe? You’ve been very quiet. Your wife has said she almost had an affair with another man.

Joe : Am I supposed to be relieved she didn't? Or grateful or frightened?

Sarah : I just, when I saw you with Vanessa, I thought you must have been feeling what I had been feeling with Noah.

Joe : And if I did have feelings for Vanessa, that would justify you being angry at me all the time? I don't know why she is so angry at me, at who I am. I mean, I, I was in a band, I was young, I was living that life, and I settled down, and now the deal is changing on me. I, I thought that was enough. Why?

Man : It's a good question. Sarah?

Sarah : Because I want more. We're too young to be freezing each other out, to not be having passionate sex, to, to not have anything to talk about, and I can't imagine living the rest of my life like this. We used to be something. And I don't know what's happened. I don't know. Can you tell me? Can you tell me?

Joe : Everybody used to be something, Sarah. I already have one failed marriage under my belt. I'm doing the best that I can here. I'm, I'm. Why the hell can't you help us?! You sit there doing nothing! We're drowning!

 

Tommy and Holly are agree to buy the vineyard together.

Holly : I assumed you knew it was me at the ranch that night.

Tommy : No, I didn't want to know who it was. It was easier to convince myself it hadn't happened.

Holly : Your father asked me to go with him to look at the winery. He wanted to buy it for the two of you to work there together, but he was gonna have to go into too much debt. It was too much of a risk, and he was afraid that he would lose everything, fail his family. Broke his heart. I, I told you all of this already, Tommy. He wanted you to run the winery.

Tommy : Yeah. But now I believe you.

 

In Robert's office.

Kitty : What's this?

Robert : That's the first poll they ever did when I ran for congress a years ago.

Kitty : You're kidding. Mm-Hmm.

Robert : See? I was twice as aloof as you. I totally kicked your ass in aloof. Off the charts in inexperienced. Callow, a lightweight, a leftie, a commie, a right-wing hawk, a psycho, a pretty boy, a playboy.

Kitty : A hair candidate? What's that?

Robert : I don't know, but I won that election with 62% of the vote. America doesn't know what it wants, Kitty. That's what the poll is saying. They don't even know me yet, and that's why I hired you, to cut through the crap and tell 'em who I am and what I stand for. And trust me, You will never, ever be a liability.

Kitty : Hmm. I hope not, because I really like do that a lot.

Robert : Of course you do. You're a strumpet.

Kitty : A slattern.

Robert : Right. Sorry.

Kitty : You have to go now.

Robert : Why? Because people are gonna think we're doing it like weasels? Which is an image I cannot get out of my head, by the way.

Kitty : Just go, go, go. I've, I've gotta make hair boy look presidential.

Robert : Senator hair boy. Please.

 

Tommy is talking about his decision to Sarah.

Sarah : You're telling me that you're going into business with Holly Harper? What are you thinking?! This is like a bad Tommy joke, right? 'Cause I'm really not in the mood.

Tommy : Sit down.

Sarah : I can't believe that you are seriously thinking about this vineyard.

Tommy : Just sit down.

Sarah : Okay.

Tommy : Sarah, if I don't take a risk now, I never will. I mean, I'll be just another kid whose dad built a great business And who walked into it. I need to fail or succeed at something on my own terms Before it's too late.

Sarah : You have an obligation to Ojai!

Tommy : I have an obligation. Our father might've created this great business, but it doesn't mean we have to be in lockstep, caring for it at the expense of our own dreams. I mean, is that what it means to be family? Would you want that for cooper or Paige? Listen. You're gonna buy all my interest in Ojai foods.

Sarah : We can't

Tommy : Holly and I are gonna take the proceeds from the sale of the stock and buy Greendale winery. I will stay on as an employee, but the company, it's yours now. And that's what's happening, okay?

Sarah : And you'll stay on here?

Tommy : Yeah. I mean, if we can start operations here sure.

Sarah : I, I can't lose you, Tommy, and, um, I can't fight anymore, not with anyone.

Tommy : You okay?

Sarah : No. But I don't wanna talk about it, okay? I think you're crazy to go into business with her. But I'll watch your back, and I'll drink your wine, probably all of it. And one more thing, you can tell her this, you can tell her that if she screws with you, I will kill her. I swear to god, I will.

Tommy : That's what I'm counting on.

Sarah : Come here. Could we talk before I go back to work?

Joe : I've just had enough talk. In fact, I’ve had enough therapy. I knew something was up with Noah. I'm not going back there anymore.

 

Holly introduces Rebecca to Tommy.

Holly : I promise I won't let you down. We are gonna make beautiful wine together, Tommy.

Tommy : So we have a deal?

Holly : Is it all right if I just jump up and down a little?

Tommy : I think that's allowed.

Holly : Oh, your father would be so proud of you! He's here with us. He's watching us. I know it.

Tommy : I should, I should go.

Holly : Oh, I'm sorry. I, I didn't mean

Tommy : No, no, it's fine. It's fine. I'll see you at the office tomorrow and we'll

Rebecca : It's me! Never mind, the key's under the mat.

Holly : Oh, no.

Rebecca : The prodigal daughter returns a day early.

Holly : Rebecca, I thought you were coming tomorrow.

Tommy : Oh, my god.

Rebecca : Yeah, I, I got a ride. I thought it'd be a nice surprise.

Holly : Oh, it, it, It's a wonderful surprise.

Rebecca : I get the feeling maybe my timing's a little off. I'm interrupting something.

Holly : No, no, no, it's okay. Uh, this is Tom Walker.

Tommy : Hi.

Rebecca : You're a little young for my mom, aren't you?

Holly : Rebecca.

Tommy : We're business associates.

Rebecca : Oh, of course.

Tommy : I, I, I should go.

Holly : Yeah.

Tommy : It was nice to meet you, Rebecca.

Rebecca : Nice to meet you. My god, mom, he's so cute!

 

Chad comes to Kevin's flat.

Chad : Five calls to you unanswered. What did I do?

Kevin : I got a call, and wigged me out.

Chad : Oh, god, Michelle.

Kevin : Yeah.

Chad : Look, I thought she might. She's just going through--

Kevin : You'll forgive me if I'm a little freaked. I mean, is this gonna be like "fatal attraction"?

Chad : Can I please just come in?

Kevin : No. How many Michelles have there been? How many Kevins?

Chad : Yeah, we know I have a history.

Kevin : Yeah.

Chad : I can't change that.

Kevin : What a club-- Schmucky men and women who lose their minds around you And behave like helpless morons. You're built to seduce and run, chad. You can't help it.

Chad : I just feel like whatever I say, you're just gonna say I'm an actor acting. What do I have to do to prove to you that I'm trying to be in good faith with you?

Kevin : Look, hamlet, I'm prepping a case, ok. You can't distract me.

Chad : I won't talk. I have lines to learn for tomorrow. I save Baltimore. So what's your case about?

Kevin : What they're all about lies and broken promises. I hate you. Come in.

Chad : Thank you.

 

A dinner with everybody.

Julia : We need both kinds.

Tommy : Oh!

Kevin : A boy and a girl?!

Nora : Oh!

Saul : I'm so happy! Yes!

Tommy : Does anyone think it's too early for another William?

Nora : Well, the world could always use another William Walker.

 

Sarah is talking about her problems.

Sarah : Why can't you say anything, One thing to make this feel better?

Man : There are no shortcuts, Sarah, in life or in love. This pain must be felt. The alternative is much worse. It's what makes us special, what makes us beautiful, what, what makes us worthy, the, the pain of how we love. But that pain is accompanied by something else, isn't it? Hope. With your pain, there is hope, and that is where you are. Somewhere between agony and optimism and prayer. So you're human. You're alive. And that is what we have.

Sarah : Yeah.

Man : Come back tomorrow. We'll go on.
