Previously on Brothers and Sisters: Scotty: I usually steer clear of your kind. I like a man who's not afraid of a little eyeliner. Well, you know, a lot. Kevin: What's up? Voice: Scotty Wandell is here. Kevin: OK, Gimme 30 seconds, and send him in. I have a thing. Sarah: Yeah? There's no such thing as a binding verbal agreement, is there? Kevin: Uh, if the arrangement Dad had with these people was ongoing for more than a year, even if it was just a verbal agreement, yeah, it could be enforced in a lawsuit, which could get expensive. Sarah: What should I do? Kevin: I don't know. Re-hire them. Make it right. Sarah: What's the point of having a lawyer if they can't help you? Scotty: Tell me about it. Hey, you're... Sarah: "Great shoes." Or Sarah, Kevin's sister. Kevin: Yeah. Scotty: Scotty. Nice to meet you. For a second, I thought maybe you were his beard. Kevin: Only to the senior prom. Scotty: Your older brother's a peach. Kevin: Younger. Sarah: Thanks for the compliment. Kevin: It's not compliment. He used it to insult me. Scotty: Hardly. I like older guys. Sarah: So, Scotty, are you a client? Scotty: I'm a witness. Well I think I'm far more than a witness, but all he ever talks about is the case. Kevin: We're gonna clock here, so... Sarah: OK. Kevin: Yeah. Sarah: Scotty, how would you like to come to a party tonight at my mom's? Kevin: No, Sarah! Sarah: It's a pool party. My whole family will be there. Kevin: No! Scotty: I'd love to. Should I bring a suit? Sarah: What's your e-mail address? Scotty: Mollyjustmight at hotmail dot com. Sarah: Great! Well, we'll see you tonight. Kevin: Take a seat. Bitch. Sarah: No, but payback is. Scotty: Red velvet cupcakes. Kevin: Oh, wow. That's, that's really nice of you. Um, thank you, Scotty. Scotty: My own recipe. Kevin: Look, I, I just wanna be real clear with you, OK? My sister invited you here to get back at me. Scotty: For what? Being so cute? Kevin: Yeah. Yeah, that and, and refusing to be her tool. You see, she's fighting with my brother, and I wouldn't be tricked into taking sides. Scotty: Oh, so you don't want me here. Kevin: It's... it's wildly unprofessional. OK? You know, the witness at the pool party, it's not how you win cases. Scotty: Well, I'm more than just the witness at the pool party. I'm Scotty Wandell from Oxford, Mississippi, son of Wally and Bertha. Kevin: There's a Wally Wandell? Scotty: Yes. Kevin: Wow. Scotty: And that's your dad. Of course. Kevin: Yup, the Unknowable king. Scotty: A leader of men? Kevin: No, not really. As it turns out, just a man. And one who has, after his passing, been causing us all a great deal of trouble. Scotty: May I ask? Kevin: No, you may not, you're just the witness. But it's what men do, right? And speaking as a gay one, I've never been able to master the art of being faithful. Scotty: Oh... that. That's too bad. But then you can't be faithful to anything until you know why you should. Scotty: Could someone pass the mango peach salsa? Nora: Would someone please pass the mango peach salsa to Scotty? Scotty: Thank you. ♪ Easier To Lie ♪ by Aqualung ♪ Listen
