Programa de TV: Brothers & Sisters - 5x9

Okay, forever tabs, take one. "
Are you tired of feeling old? "
Do you miss waking up with vim and vigor? "
Seniors, the first step to a healthy tomorrow "is to get a good range of vitamins and nutrients in your diet?
Forever tabs can help you do just that."
Forever tabs?
Frank, good God.
Are you serious?
Well, who doesn't want a little more vim and vigor?
Just pick it up from the end, Nora.
Yes, Frank, from the end. "
Forever tabs can help you do just that.
I use them."
No, I don't use them.
All you have to do is take one pill, and you're legally clear. "
Them" is plural, Frank.
Then take two.
I take four.
But look, if you want me to do the spot, I'll do the spot.
They asked for her on this one.
Why is that?
Am I more senior than he is?
Hardly.
Let's...
do the, uh, hotel spot, Nora.
They're offering rooms for half price.
I'll get you some more water and give you a second to look it over.
All right.
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi.
Oh, good God and heaven.
What?
Frank, I can't say this.
Nora, Nora, Nora, what is it?
Oh, God.
This is so cheesy.
I'm embarrassed to even read it to you.
It can't be that bad. "
The Hotel Velone...
We make the beds, you make the magic."
Ooh, that's...
that's pretty catchy, actually.
Oh, yeah, there's more.
Yeah? "
Turndown service comes with a boat of strawberries in every room."
Strawberries.
What the hell would you do with that?
Oh, they're high in vitamin C...
Karl.
What?
There are windows on all four sides of this room.
So?
We're adults.
Your daughter owns the station.
I mean, how much trouble can we get in to?
Hmm?
* So I'll sleep all day *.
One skinny vanilla late with whip.
Oh.
Well, thank you.
Is it your birthday or something?
No.
Why?
Uh, well, you know, you've been coming in the last few days.
Every morning, you order a skinny vanilla latte, and then today out of nowhere...
whip.
So, uh, I thought it might be a special occasion.
No.
I just thought that I would, you know, try something new. "
The presidency: A deconstruction of American politics."
Wow.
That sounds political.
It is.
I'm...
I'm teaching a seminar.
Hmm.
Uh, I'm more into fiction myself.
You know, I guess I'd rather read something interesting than true.
Ah.
Really?
Well, uh...
Why do you think they can't be both?
Did you know that president Taft got stuck in a white house bathtub, and they had to pry him out with a big board?
That's all you got?
Warren harding had sex in a white house closet, died of ptomaine poisoning, and rumor had it that his wife murdered him.
Not bad.
Not bad.
So, um, if you had to choose of all our presidents, which one would you have slept with?
Well...
you can decide later.
Lincoln.
Really?
Lincoln?
Wow.
Interesting.
They named a bedroom after him.
Oh, sorry.
I'm Seth, by the way.
Kitty.
Hi, Kevin.
When you were trying to adopt, how much weight did you gain?
Please tell me you're not emotionally eating.
Well, that depends if you think a cannoli, two bear claws, and a lindzer torte constitutes breakfast.
You guys are shoe-ins.
The social worker is going to love you.
Well, what if she hates us?
One bad impression is all it takes.
Everything has to be perfect.
You and Scotty are a foster adoption dream team.
I'm a nervous guy, okay?
Okay, for a child...
What if there's a flood?
Oh, my God.
This barista is totally hitting on me.
Kit, I'm in the middle of a crisis here.
Oh, no, you're not, and besides, this is gonna take your mind off of it.
Oh, okay.
What does he look like?
He's very cute in a genius bar kind of way.
Oh, a brownie.
Hallelujah.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
He wrote his number on my coffee cup.
What do I do?
That's Sarah.
I gotta go.
Bye.
Wait, Kevin?
Kevin?
Hi, queen of all media.
I just saw mom making out with our on-air psychiatrist in the studio.
You gonna fire her?
No, I wouldn't have just cause.
But it would be fun.
I can't believe you work with mom.
I don't.
She's an employee of one radio station of five that I own.
She's a very small ant in my kingdom.
Now why did you call earlier?
I wanted to know good preschools in L.A...
Just in case the social worker asks what we're thinking in terms of education.
You know, there is such a thing as being overly prepared.
Now listen, I'm trying to get outta here.
Luc's off to China tomorrow, so if you don't have anything else...
Oh, right.
So what are the plans for tonight?
I'm gonna surprise Luc with something special.
Like what?
Well, if I tell you, it won't be a surprise for very long, will it?
I think this brownie was a little much.
I better go.
The what?
What?
What?
Oh, nothing.
Sarah, honey, I-I hope you're not upset about the...
Mom, you can kiss anyone you want at work, okay?
I never let it stop me.
No, me neither.
Oh, for God sake, Sarah.
Would you please warn me when there are other people in the room?
Don't worry, mom.
I have to go.
Say good-bye to Luc for me, Sarah.
Okay, bye.
Good luck today, honey.
Oh.
Bye.
Sarah, why won't you let me have everyone over tonight so we can celebrate Luc?
I mean, he's painting a mural in Shanghai.
Thanks, mom, but no.
Tonight is strictly Luc and me.
Anyway, won't you be busy?
What do you mean by that?
Okay.
If you don't want to talk about Karl...
Sarah...
I like him so much.
I like him so much.
I-I-I j...
I swear, I'm, like, completely and utterly falling head over heels.
In love?
No.
Down the stairs.
What do you think?
Mom, that's fantastic.
We've been to dinners and lunches and movies.
Anything else?
No.
Oh.
But that's not so important right now.
No, no.
That's not important.
That's why you were making out in the studio.
W-well, of...
of course it's important.
But look, I've been through some things over the past years, and I-I don't mind taking it slow.
There's nothing wrong with slow.
Nothing wrong with slow.
Slow is good.
Slow is good.
Can we enjoy this?
Foster adoption is supposed to be joyful.
It's about starting a family.
Okay, but we have to control the variables.
You know, strangers come into this restaurant every day.
Kevin, they're customers.
All right.
But is that a safe environment for a child?
I mean, what if there's a flood?
We're getting a visit from the social worker, not the FBI.
Oh, we need to get fingerprinted, too.
Don't worry.
The FBI is coming.
Scotty, have you seen my bag?
Uh, no.
Kevin?
No.
It was a little brown bag with a brownie in it.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
I ate it.
What?
I saw it.
I was hungry.
It all happened so fast after that.
I'll buy you a new one.
You can't, actually.
Uh, my prescription's up.
That was the last of my stash.
Thanks a lot.
Prescription for what?
Medical marijuana.
It's for his back.
* Why can't you just believe in me?
*.
Look up.
Uh, hey.
Uh, what's, uh, what's...
what's up?
Well, I just wanted to make sure that you gave me the right number.
Mm.
Oh.
You're so hot.
I know.
I know.
How old are you?
27.
Oh, my God.
You're 27.
Do you hit on a lot of older women?
No, and you're not old.
Mm.
Oh, my God.
You're sweet.
Okay.
What?
That was fun.
Look, uh, call me sometime.
Hmm.
I knew you would call back.
You slept with a 20 year old?
27, and no I didn't sleep with him.
We just made out.
Then why did you type that you hooked up?
Hooking up can mean anything from making out to casual sex.
Yeah, well, next time, could you be more specific?
Because I am a very busy woman.
Okay.
He's a barista in a coffee shop.
Oh.
Of course he is.
What's his name...
Taylor, Tyler...
hmm.
Scooter?
Actually, I don't even remember.
Who are you right now?
I don't know.
I guess I'm lucky.
I guess I'm fabulous.
Where did you make out?
On top of the coffee beans.
Oh, my God.
And I thought I was risque.
I know.
Can you even believe it?
I mean, I am so proud of myself.
I am usually so decorous and appropriate and...
and...
I don't know.
I don't know...
Excuse me, but the maitre d' at the restaurant gave me this key.
Just...
Kitty, I gotta go.
I'm in a very important meeting.
You are such a liar, Sarah.
I know that Luc is there with you.
Good-bye. "
Meet me for lunch at hotel Velone"?
Wouldn't you prefer room service?
How's the menu?
It is...
extensive.
Hello.
I'm Sarah.
I am your hostess for today...
This evening...
And tomorrow morning.
Hello.
Would you like to start with an appetizer?
Oh, yeah.
Anything blow the waist is considered a tip.
Okay.
Excuse me, Ms.
McCallister?
Oh, dean Whitley, hi.
Hello.
Oh, please do not stand.
Oh, no, please.
You have come all the way down to the political science department.
The least I can do is give you a proper greeting.
And I think it's you who came all the way down to Wexley university.
Oh.
When I heard that you agreed to offer this seminar, I ran out on my balcony to watch the liberal bias of higher education shift slightly back to center.
Well, I'm very happy that I can provide some balance.
And perhaps when some of these eager young minds meet a brilliant republican role model and listen to her lectures and talk to her at the coffee shop...
Oh...
yes, yes.
Well, I just want you to know that I-I am so looking forward to this opportunity.
Good.
Now if you ever need anything, please remember to call me.
And, um, oh, oh, I forgot to tell you.
The alumni association's having a fund-raiser next month, and they're hoping you will agree to be on the host committee.
Whatever I can do to help.
Good.
I will tell them to call you.
And it was just lovely seeing you again.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I am going to walk you out, because I have a very sudden desire for a cup of coffee.
Hmm.
How are you feeling?
I am so stoned right now.
You have to help me.
Okay, Kevin, why don't you go lie down in the bedroom or something?
'Cause the social worker's gonna be here any minute.
No, I told you.
She's not coming until tomorrow.
People like me do not deserve children.
I should be behind bars, Scotty.
I'm gonna turn myself in.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I've only been stoned ever once before in my life.
I thought I should try pot before I went to college, so I bought a joint from Ozzie Archibald.
It was as big as a cigar.
Okay, that's called a blunt.
I-I made sure no one was home, and then I went out to the yard and I smoked it.
You smoked the whole thing?
Half.
I don't know.
I buried the rest in Justin's old sandbox, just in case the police found it.
Then I locked myself in my room, read an old Spanish textbook, 'cause I thought if I could just focus on something, anything...
Then mom came home...
I'm starting to freak out again.
Okay, Kevin, breathe.
Come sit down.
She needed help with the groceries, so I had to go back into the kitchen, and she just looked like a giant pi�ata floating above me...
really?
And then she started speaking in Spanish.
Really?
Yeah.
There must have been something else in that joint.
Well, I don't know.
I don't do drugs.
I have to find Sarah.
Sarah?
Yeah.
Sarah.
Wh...
Sarah?
When Sarah came back, she immediately saw how baked I was, and she managed to get me from paranoid schizophrenic into groggy, stupid, and hungry.
Okay, well, wh-what did she do?
I don't know.
I have to call her.
You can't call Sarah.
She's got some big extravaganza with Luc tonight.
Well, you're starting to speak in Spanish, so I don't have a choice.
I can't believe I forgot my glasses.
This is painful.
Like trying to read the nutritional information on the back of a cereal box.
Here.
Try mine.
Oh, thank you.
What a gentleman.
Always happy to help a damsel in distress.
Karl.
I've been thinking...
About us.
Really?
Me, too.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
What if we don't order anything?
I mean, what if we do something totally insane?
Let's...
check in to hotel Velone.
I mean, they're having this promotion, rooms are half off.
Are you serious?
Oh, for heaven sake, Nora.
I mean, it's obviously been a while since I asked a woman to, you know, anything like this, so...
Well, I'm glad you did.
I'm...
I'm...
I'm really very glad you did.
It's just that, if we're gonna do this...
Yes?
Spend the night together...
Ah, yes.
My apartment is boring and...
Well, why don't we go to my place?
I've been there before.
Remember?
Oh.
As were most of your children, various family members.
Yes, well...
yeah.
They do have a tendency to show up every now and then.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I'd have to...
I have to go home first.
Me, too.
So what do you think?
They make the beds...
We make the magic.
I wasn't expecting a honeymoon until after we were married.
Call it a sneak preview.
Oh!
Oh, God.
I'm so...
Oh...
gosh.
Oh!
Luc, I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Let me get some ice.
Yeah.
Oh.
I'll get you a towel.
Oh, my God.
I'm sorry.
Oh.
Hello.
Hey, Kev.
Ow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was a surprise.
No, we're fine.
Yeah, at hotel Velone.
Kevin?
Hello?
Weird.
Uh, Kevin just hung up on me.
Please tell me that you didn't tell him where we were.
Uh, so what if I did?
Well, then it would only be a matter of time before they come over.
They'll want to see the room.
Gay people love this hotel.
All right.
I'm sorry, babe.
Ouch.
I know you want tonight to be perfect, but no one is coming over here, not even your brother.
Yes, well, even so, I think we should have all cell phones off.
Complete radio silence.
Oh!
Oh!
Honey, I am so sorry.
Oh.
Oh!
Oh!
Ay!
Ay-yi-yi!
Oh, God.
Oh, no.
Ay!
Ah.
Oh, ow.
Let me see.
It's bleeding.
Ah.
Gosh.
If this is a sneak preview, I can only imagine what a real honeymoon is gonna be like.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, yeah.
That's really...
yeah.
Yeah, no, don't...
don't stop.
Mm.
That...
You know, I used to love watching that show that you did, the, uh, "red, white, and blue."
Are you serious?
You have known who I am this entire time?
Was I not supposed to?
Fine.
Fine.
I don't care.
Well...
Just keep massaging my hand.
That's what I thought.
Mm.
So...
Ah.
Do you, uh...
ooh.
Do you remember my name?
Well...
hmm?
You know, I-I-I don't think you ever told me your name.
Yes, I did.
No, you didn't.
Yes, I did.
Okay, what is it?
It's Seth.
Seth.
Mm-hmm.
Seth.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Wait a minute.
Stop.
Stop, stop, stop.
I don't...
I don't...
My God, what am I doing here?
You're having fun.
You're having fun.
Just relax.
Just relax.
Oh.
There you go.
Okay.
Well, if you keep doing that, I actually might fall asleep.
Mm.
That's...
that's not what I had in mind.
Okay, you know what?
You're, like, out of a porno movie.
I mean, I'm surprised you didn't show up here with a pizza.
You know what?
Now you're talking.
I'm starving.
I can get a pizza.
You know, I have to go out anyway if, uh...
Why do you have to go out anyway?
Uh...
Uh...
it's kind of embarrassing, but I only brought two condoms.
Oh, well, hurry up.
All right.
Just hurry up.
Hello.
Luc.
Hi, um, it's Scotty.
We're kind of downstairs in the lobby.
They make me feel better.
I want to hold one.
He really needs to see Sarah.
Yes.
Thank you.
Okay.
We'll be up in two minutes.
Bye.
Okay, let's go.
Got your first aid kit.
Thank you so much.
Housekeeping should be done cleaning soon.
I'm sorry about the mess...
My name's, uh, West.
Dr.
West.
Karl.
Sarah.
Hi.
Oh, what a surprise.
Yeah.
Are you staying here, too?
Nope.
Unh-unh.
Just sign here, sir.
You'll be in room 714.
Wait.
Ar-are you here with my mother?
No.
Oh.
No, I...
no, I...
I'm working on a book.
I sometimes...
I check in to a hotel...
Oh.
So I can focus better.
I work best alone.
Oh, you don't live alone?
Yeah.
But, um, my...
my neighbors are...
are doing this massive kitchen remodel, and the noise...
So I decided to splurge on a little peace and quiet.
It's half off.
Yeah.
Yeah, half off.
So, um...
what brings you here?
Oh, my fianc�e is going on a long business trip, so, you know, we wanted to have a romantic night, just the two of us.
Um, look, I won't keep you.
Nice to see you, Karl.
Yeah.
Oh, Dr.
west, would you like the complimentary strawberries and cream?
Yeah, I-I think she'd like that.
Good luck with your book.
Oh, my God.
I gotta call mom.
I just ran into Karl west downstairs checking in, ordering strawberries.
Sarah.
Scotty.
What the hell are you doing here?
I'm so sorry.
I know we're intruding.
But I didn't know where else we could go. "
We"?
Yeah.
Kevin is in the bathroom.
Oh, no.
He ate a pot brownie.
Oh, God.
It was an accident.
All right, Kevin.
Come out here.
I'm so sorry.
It's just, last time this happened, you somehow helped me get through it.
Are people speaking Spanish?
Si, un poquito.
Oh, God.
I thought we should help.
I'm so pathetic.
I'm so sorry.
Look, I know you can't help me.
I have to find my own way home.
No, Kevin.
Lie down.
Okay.
We'll get you some coffee or something, okay?
Yeah.
Oh, coffee.
Is that what you did last time?
I don't remember, but his problems are way more serious than that right now.
The police are outside.
No, they're not.
Yes, they are.
I passed them on the way up...
A whole S.W.A.T.
team headed this way.
That's ridiculous.
Hotels have dogs to catch people like you, Kevin.
What am I supposed to do?!
You gotta pull it together.
What's your birthday?
Uh, April 18, 1971.
Mother's maiden name?
Holden.
Last 4 of your social?
5-3-5-2.
Is that right?
I'm not sure.
Kevin?
Yeah, it's right.
Yes?
Good.
You feel better now?
Yeah.
A-a little.
Maybe.
I guess.
Good.
That's what I did last time.
I just scared the crap out of him.
Something about the adrenaline shot.
Mm.
I gotta call mom.
Hey, Sarah, don't get involved.
What's going on with mom?
Karl just checked in to the hotel for an afternoon romp.
Oh, with mom?
Wait.
She's here?
Oh, my God.
I'm freaking out again.
No, not with mom.
See?
That's the point.
What's the point?
Dr.
Karl...
That's who I should call.
I should call Dr.
Karl.
Don't get involved with your mother's romantic relationship.
I'm not gonna let this guy break her heart.
You don't even know what's going on.
You didn't see him.
He was like a deer in the headlights.
Kevin doesn't even look as guilty as this guy.
Sarah, I'm warning you.
Why don't you two take Mr.
Hemphead for a walk, sober him up?
And what about our romantic evening?
It'll happen.
Stop fighting.
Okay, sweetheart.
Come on.
Let's go.
Let's get up.
I-I'll take care of them.
Do what you need to do.
Don't pet the dogs, Kevin.
Hello.
Kitty.
Honey, I...
I'm sorry to bother you.
I-I tried to call Sarah, but I think she turned her phone off.
Oh, hello, mom.
How are you?
Um...
never mind, honey.
Never mind.
I really shouldn't be talking to you about this.
Oh, okay.
Well, then I'll talk to you later.
N-w-w-w-wait.
Just because I shouldn't be talking to you about this doesn't mean I'm not going to talk to you about this.
Okay.
Well...
what's wrong?
It just...
Karl and I figured it was time for us to...
Like you kids say, "hook up."
You're right.
This is so not appropriate.
Please listen.
So...
so we made a date to do just that, and I...
it just is making me so nervous.
We're making such a big deal out of it.
It's all so premeditated.
Oh, my God.
Please tell me that you didn't go to some hotel or something.
No.
No.
No, we wouldn't do something as stupid as that.
I mean, why make a nerve-racking situation worse?
There is nothing for you to be afraid of.
Okay?
People have been having sex for thousands of years.
I know.
But the whole point is, up until now, Karl and I have not been one of 'em.
Sweetie, I've got to go.
Okay?
Thanks...
thanks for talking to me.
I'll...
I'll talk to you later.
Bye.
What floor?
Uh, 7.
Okay, sure.
Aah!
Aah!
Aah!
I'm so sorry.
Oh.
What happened to you?
You would think a-a pizza boy would know how to carry his stuff without dumping it all over people.
You want me get to some club soda or something for you?
No, no, don't...
don't bother.
It's a...
it's a lost cause.
Poor kid.
I felt sorry for him.
I'm...
I'm sorry I'm...
I'm late.
Everything always takes a little longer than you think.
I can...
I can never figure out these key cards.
You know, they go in...
right.
Weird and...
Out.
What a nice room.
Yep.
There is the boat of strawberries we were promised.
Mm-hmm.
And...
and some mints...
That's nice.
And, um, adjustable lighting is...
Mm.
Is always a good thing.
You're nervous.
Aren't you?
Yes, I am.
Aren't you?
Of course.
Yes.
Oh.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Um...
Yeah.
You know, I'm...
I'm soaking wet, and I'm...
and I'm sticky, so I'm just gonna, um, I'm gonna just be right back, okay?
Yep.
Just be right back.
Hello.
Karl, it's Sarah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, s-Sarah.
Um, how can I help you?
I'm not gonna pretend I don't know what you're doing in this hotel.
But you should know one thing.
My mother has real feelings for you.
So if you lead her on, you won't just have me to answer to.
There are five of us, and we look out for each other.
Okay?
I have to go.
Good-bye.
Grr.
Wow.
You wouldn't believe all the products in here.
Kevin would freak.
I feel so bad about that woman.
Hmm.
Well, did you offer to pay the dry cleaning bill?
Yeah.
You know, she refused to take any money from me, and then I got so upset, she somehow made me feel better.
Oh, God.
That sounds like something my mother would do.
Well, anyway, wine's better.
Mm, yes, it is.
Mm.
So what are you gonna be when you grow up?
Well, I'm a writer.
Oh.
Or, you know, I'm...
I'm trying to be.
I haven't been, uh, published or...
Oh, well, please, that's okay.
You know, Ulysses S.
Grant, he was a total loser.
Complete failure most of his life.
I've learned a lot about presidents today.
Well, you should take my class.
You'd probably learn a lot more.
I could, you know?
I am a grad student in the lit department.
You're kidding?
No.
You know, it makes sense, right?
Uh, coffee shop's two blocks from campus.
No.
No.
Oh, my God, no.
No, no, no.
This...
this doesn't make sense at...
at all.
This is...
this is...
I-I-I teach there.
Well, you said you were a guest lecturer.
Still.
It...
it...
it...
it's unethical.
It...
it is not unethical.
W...
well, okay, then it's not the kind of example that I want to set, okay?
Why didn't you tell me this before?
Well...
You didn't ask, you know?
And...
and I don't know.
I didn't think it was that big of a deal.
I...
That's actually where you're wrong, because it's a very big deal.
See, remember I told you that I had to go see the young Wexley Republicans?
Now how do you think they're gonna feel when they find out that I've been hooking up with a graduate student?
I-I, you know, I-I ran for senate, so I have a certain reputation that I have to live up to, and, um, I...
you wanted to have a little fun, and now it's over.
I get it.
I'm sorry.
You know, you don't have to make me feel bad.
No, no.
I feel bad.
I...
look, hey, don't, all right?
Don't feel bad, you know?
I mean, look, contrary to what you might think, we're both adults.
I knew what I was getting into.
I'm...
I'll, uh...
I'll go.
I'll go.
I'm...
Oh, man.
I'm sorry.
This is just...
Oh.
Oh.
Well, maybe not the most attractive thing on earth, but it's dry, and what the hell?
You look beautiful.
Did I hear the phone ring?
Who called?
Yeah, yeah, it was, uh, it was...
it was housekeeping.
Ah.
Um...
You know, there is, um...
There is another robe in there for you, too.
And I'm feeling just a little bit weird being the only person in the room not wearing any clothes, so...
Why don't you take your clothes off, too?
Well, I-in a minute.
In a minute.
Well...
I could always spill some icy cold beverage on you.
No, thanks.
Um, look, can we just, uh, have a seat here and, uh, drink some of this icy cold champagne?
Well, this is awkward.
Well, I would understand if you're having second thoughts.
Well, I'm...
I'm not having second thoughts.
Are you having second thoughts?
Oh, my God.
You're having second thoughts?
No, I-I just want to make sure that we know what we're getting ourselves into.
That's all.
We're in a hotel room, Karl.
I'm naked here.
How could we not know what we're getting ourselves in for?
Please don't get upset.
Well, I am upset.
I am upset.
My God.
What is your problem?
I...
You invite me here to this hotel and then you change your mind?
I'm in a friggin' bathrobe here for God sake.
I just...
can we just talk this out, please?
No, we can't talk it out.
We can't talk it out.
I'm not one of your patients.
Just go, okay?
Nora, I'm...
Good-bye, Karl.
Go.
I'm so...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I never...
never intended...
you never intended?
To what?
I...
To sleep with me?
No, no.
No, I did.
Yes, yes, yes.
But it's...
I ran into your daughter...
My daughter?
Sarah, in the lobby.
She's here?
Don't worry.
I didn't tell her that I was meeting you.
I didn't.
It's just...
Nora...
Your family is so important to you, and there are just so many of them, and...
and I worry, if we...
we take this to the next level...
So my family is too much for you?
Once we do something like this...
Like what, have sex?
Yeah...
My God, Karl.
You are making such a big deal out of this.
People have been having sex for thousands of years.
Yes, I know that.
Uh-huh.
But there are just lot more feelings at stake here, and it is a big deal, I mean, which is why we have to be honest about everything...
Well, I am honest.
I have been honest.
I am not so sure about you.
I...
wh-where are you going?
Anywhere else but here.
Oh, Karl.
Just a sec.
I hope you're alone.
Mom.
W-how did you...
oh, God.
This is awful.
Oh, no.
Did you follow him here?
Well, it wasn't my idea to come here.
That's for damn sure.
Wait.
Why are you wearing a robe?
Because it's more embarrassing like this.
Oh, no.
Karl was meeting you here?
Oh, I thought...
what?
Th-the only reason I called the room was...
You called the room?
Sarah, what did you say?
Nothing.
I just wanted to make sure he didn't hurt you.
Oh, God.
You told him I was in love with him, didn't you?
No, no.
I just said that you liked him a lot.
And then I physically threatened him, I think.
Oh, Sarah.
I'm sorry, mom.
I think I really messed it up.
Oh, God.
I can't believe...
Kitty, I-I can't, um, I can't talk right now.
What?
No, just...
That's where I am...
the Hotel Velone.
Kitty's here, too?
I'm feel...
Mom?
We're all here.
Oh, God.
I should just jump.
What floor are we on?
Uh, eight.
That ought to do it.
Okay, okay.
Thanks, hon.
So the boys are happy in Kitty's room.
Hopefully, they will stay there.
Thank you for getting rid of them.
The last thing on earth I wanted to look at right now is Kevin stoned out of his gourd.
Mm.
There's a little bit more Cabernet.
Who wants it?
Me.
Give it to her.
She gets whatever she wants tonight.
Well, at least I learned, Karl is not interested in me sooner rather than later.
Well, he got you down to your robe.
No, the pizza boy did that.
Pardon me?
It's a long story, honey.
And it's fine.
No, mom.
It...
it's not.
I meddled.
I shouldn't have.
He told me not to.
I-I messed everything up for you.
I completely obliterated your brand-new relationship.
I'm so sorry.
I'm not mad at you, honey.
I'm...
I'm mad at Karl.
Well, I'm mad at me.
Our night is ruined.
All I wanted was this one perfect night, just the two of us, before you went away.
And now you're leaving.
In 12 hours, you're gonna be on a plane to China for 2 months.
Oh, my God.
And I don't want you to go.
I mean, of course I want you to go.
It's an amazing opportunity.
I just...
Well, honey, he'll be back.
I know that, mom.
Oh, okay.
Well...
I just wish we had more time.
Ooh.
I got a text...
from Karl.
What?
What does he say? "
Wanna talk?
Meet me downstairs in the..."
He can't even complete a text.
Ooh.
All right. "
In the bar."
Oh.
Are you gonna go?
No, of course not.
At least he's out of the room, and I can go put some clothes on.
Okay, mom.
Bye.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
As the only man here, can I just say something?
Men can be heartless, I know.
But most of us, we just act like fools.
The better ones admit it.
I think you should hear him out.
God, I love pizza.
Me gusta pizza, tambien.
Don't do that!
I'm kidding.
I'm sorry.
I just...
that's not funny.
Oh!
How the hell did this happen to you?
It was an accident.
Well, it wouldn't have happened if you weren't stuffing food down your throat this morning.
I was nervous.
Kevin, there's nothing to be nervous about.
Kevin, the state of California is not going to turn you down.
Do you know how many needy kids there are...
Well, maybe that's why I'm freaking out, because this is finally going to happen.
Oh, my God.
I can't win with you.
You're nervous we won't get a kid.
You're nervous we will get a kid.
I'm a nervous guy, okay?
Okay.
Okay, okay.
Could we order more pizza?
Oh, I didn't even order it, actually.
Seth went out to get more...
Pizza.
Why'd you send him home anyway?
He neglected to tell me that he's a student at Wexley.
Oh, are you dating one of your students?
No.
It's not illegal to date a student so long as he's not your student.
I'm a republican.
I'm a conservative.
And according to dean Whitley, I'm a living testament to family values.
You know what I think?
I think you can feel whatever you want.
So stop worrying about whether conservative women should sleep with 20 year olds...
27.
Or what the dean of family values thinks of you.
Live.
Wow.
Yeah.
I think I'm finally sober.
I got your text.
Yeah, well, desperate times call for desperate messaging.
Can I get you a drink?
No, thank you.
But I will sit down, though.
I had a glass of wine upstairs...
a lovely Cabernet.
Right.
With, uh, Sarah.
And Kevin and Scotty and Kitty.
They're all here?
Yes.
And I know, there are so many of them.
I'm sorry.
I...
I behaved horribly, which wouldn't be the first time.
Okay.
My...
my ex-wife, hated Cabernet.
She always complained it was too jammy.
Well, I didn't know you'd been married before.
Yeah, it lasted, uh, 18 months.
What happened?
Well, I didn't want any children.
What, you mean you didn't have that conversation before you decided to walk down the aisle?
You...
you'd think, but no, not really.
You s...
you see, I-I have a difficult time expressing my feelings, so...
Perhaps you should seek professional help.
I do.
I do.
I did.
I just got off the phone with my shrink.
You're in therapy?
Yeah.
Yeah, same guy that I saw when I lived in Chicago.
We do a phoner once a week.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
That's interesting.
And what offhand would you say is your problem?
Well...
I don't exactly have a great track record when it comes to intimacy.
Ah.
So when I heard that you...
like me...
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
So what did...
Sarah told you what, I was falling for you?
Pretty much.
Oh, God.
Yeah, yeah, when she...
when she said that, you know, all my old tapes started playing, and...
and I...
and I panicked...
No kidding.
Yeah.
Uh, but what I...
what I wanted to tell you...
I mean, the reason that I texted you...
What scared me, I think, is...
I...
I might be falling for you, too.
Whew.
What, did your shrink help you realize that?
Well, that and that I was an idiot for suggesting a hotel.
Yeah.
Well, it was half off.
You know, I...
I never expected to meet such an amazing woman.
I mean, especially at this point in my life, with all my little...
oh, just stop.
No more words.
Don't talk.
Look...
