"Beautiful World" by Aidan Hawken Everyone eats brunch. Lyrics: Have to admit it Your kisses are sweet The first taste of honey I'm startin' to see And I have to admit that I'm glad, I found you my love Such a beautiful light in this dark and sometimes cruel world When you smile at me I'm inclined to believe everything's right Dark turns to light with your eyes and it's a beautiful world The past melts away when you're here, I forget what I should I'll be the love of your life if you stay with me tonight I have to admit it It can be so hard Love knocks you down Or it takes you off guard But I have to admit that I'm glad it happened this way Cause it opened my eyes to the site of this beautiful world When you smile at me I'm inclined to believe everything's right Dark turns to light with your eyes and it's a beautiful world The past melts away when you're here, I forget what I should I'll be the love of your life if you stay with me tonight And you have to admit what they say it's a sometimes cruel world And what a cold place it can be, well, forget what you heard Cause when you smile at me I'm inclined to believe everything's right Yeah, when you smile at me I'm inclined to believe everything's right And it's a beautiful world It's a beautiful world It's a beautiful world

Scotty: I can't believe you made these yourself. Michelle: With all the orders that I'm getting, I can barely keep up. I'm gonna have to figure out a way to increase production. I can't do it myself, not while working double waitressing shifts. Scotty: Well, how much do you think you need? Michelle: $10,000 should cover the materials, but then there's also... Hi. Kevin: Hi... Scotty: Michelle. Kevin: Michelle, of course. How are... Wow. It's... it's been a while. Scotty: Oh, are those for me? Kevin: Uh, sorry, no. They're for Kitty. Michelle: Hi. Kevin: Hi. Scotty: Michelle has been busy making handbags. Kevin: Wow, you made these? Scotty: She has her own line. She's looking for investors. But I said we needed to talk about it first. Kevin: Of cour... of course, yeah. We should... Yeah, we should talk, definitely. Michelle: I have a business plan and everything, and you should trust my judgment, because I was the first one to say that you two were meant for each other. Kevin: Yes, you're definitely right about that. Um, I'm sure Scotty told you, Uh, we... we want to have a baby. Michelle: Yeah, he said that you were gonna put it off for a little while, though, right? Scotty: Yes. Kevin: Uh, well, yes and no. Uh, you see, we actually met with a surrogacy agency, and you would not believe how much they charge. And, um, seeing as this is something we want to do eventually, I'm not sure if we want to tie ourselves in to any financial commitments. Michelle: Oh. Oh, okay. I... I understand. Just out of curiosity, how much is it? Kevin: Oh, uh, it's... it's, uh, it's well into the six figures. Michelle: That's how much a surrogate makes? Kevin: Oh, well, you know, there's a... there's a whole list of people you have to pay... the agency, the egg donor, uh, doctors... and we want a local surrogate, so that's another up-charge. And there's a year-long waiting list. Michelle: Oh, my God. Scotty: What's the matter? Michelle: Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking? Kevin: I don't know. Scotty: What are you thinking? Michelle: I could be your surrogate. Kevin: Oh, that's so funny. Michelle: No, no, I... I'm serious. I mean, I could quit my job, and that way, I can make my handbags full-time, and I could have your baby. And it'd save you guys, like, a ton of money. You guys, it's perfect. Kevin: Look, this is a huge step, and I'd rather do it the normal way, which is through an agency. Scotty: And normal to you is picking some stranger out of a book? Kevin: That's how it's done. Scotty: Well, normal to me is finding someone I know who cares about us and who's invested in going through this process with us. Kevin: I'm not comfortable with her being our surrogate. Scotty: Why? Kevin: You have to admit, she's a little flaky. Scotty: She is not. She's my friend. And she helped me through a lot of really tough times when a lot of people labeled me as flaky. You know what? I feel like this is another case of my opinion not mattering as much as yours does.. Kevin: I'm s... I'm... Scotty: Would you mind not taking a text message while I'm talking to you? Kevin: It's from Kitty. "You should really come over to mom's." I have to go. I'm really sorry. Scotty: Kevin, I really... ugh. Kevin: No, I'm sorry. We'll talk about this later. Nora: You go forward, I go back. So it's back, side, close. Forward, side, close. Ba... okay, here we go. You d... put your arm around me. Justin: Mom, mom, mom, no. This is weird. I'm... I don't want to do this. Nora: You have to get used to it. There's a whole lot of protocol about the first dance. And Holly has done so much for this wedding. I don't want the Walkers to be the weak link. Come on. We have to do this before Kitty and Evan wake up from their nap. Okay, now you go forward, side, close. Back, side, close. Justin: All right. Nora: You have to look up. Don't look at your feet. Justin: Mom, I'm sorry. I'm not gonna need to know how to do this, all right? I'm not gonna be doing the box fox at my wedding. Nora: It is the box step. It's the foundation for all of ballroom dancing. You learn this, and you've learned everything. Now come on. Here we go. Here we go. Justin: It's old-fashioned, mom. I'm not gonna do it. Nora: You're twisting my hand. First of all, you have to... Justin: Well, I don't know what to do, mom. Luc: Hi. You must be Justin. Nice to meet you. Justin: Yeah, you're Luc, right? Nice to meet you. Luc: You guys were practicing the box step? Nora: Yeah. Justin: Uh, yeah. It's for my... my wedding. Luc: Oh, well, you know there is more, like, modern dances you can do, especially at your age. You know, uh, that's a little stiff. Justin: Yeah, ones that maybe aren't so old-fashioned? Luc: Yeah. My... my grandmother ran a dance studio in Paris, and she made me dance with all those girls. I mean, not that I minded. Um, I'm sayin', I can really help you out, man, if... uh... Nora: You know, we don't want to keep you from your swim. Luc: Is your bride a good dancer? Justin: Uh, yeah. You know, she... she's, like, practically semi-professional. Luc: Okay, well, I have a dance that I can show you. It looks like you will lead, everything, but she will do all the move. What about that... Let me show you. Let me show you. Justin: No, I... Nora: Luc, you know, he barely will dance with me. Justin: Yeah, Nora: I really don't think he's gonna dance with you. Luc: Don't worry. You will love this. Watch. Justin: I'm not really a dancer... Luc: I'll be her. You be you. Here. Here we go. Un, deux, trois. Okay, turn. No, no, no. Stay there. Okay. Justin: You turn around like this. Luc: Okay? Justin: Whoa. Hey. Okay. Luc: Come back for a big finish. You support her back, keep your balance, because we're gonna dip. Justin: No, we're not dipping. We're not dipping. I don't like dipping. Nora: Oh! Kevin, what the hell is the matter with you? Kevin: I... I... I don't... I don't know. I th... I just lost feeling in my extremities. Justin: You scared the hell outta me. I could've dropped him. Kevin: Wh... Luc: I'm Luc. Nice to meet you, Kevin. Kevin: I'm... I'm Kevin. Luc: Let me help you. Sorry. Nora: Would you get a grip? Luc, don't do it. I'm gonna get a broom. Luc: I'm sorry. Kevin: Oh, no. Kitty: Oh, come on, you guys. You have to at least pretend not to be staring. Scotty: Oh, please. This coming from the person who sent us a text message telling us to rush over here as if the house was on fire? Rebecca: The house is on fire. Kevin: He can't see us anyway. He has chlorine in his eyes and dancing in his soul. Rebecca: He's a really strong swimmer. Kevin: I wish he'd stop swimming and get out of the pool. Scotty: Oh, hey, give this to Kevin. Kevin: What for? Scotty: The drool on your chin. Justin: Can you guys give it a rest, please? Kitty: Justin, what is wrong with you? Justin: I'm just tired of listening to you all objectify him, all right? I mean, he happens to be a very nice guy. Kevin: "Objectify"? Oh, Justin! Nora: Kitty, for goodness sakes. I thought you were taking a nap. Oh, Scotty, Rebecca, what brings you here? Scotty: Kitty. Nora: Oh, yes. Adonis bathes in the sea... It makes total sense now. Kitty: Mom, I'm getting the distinct impression that you don't like him. Nora: I like him just fine, just fine. If he were underfoot in your house, you would not be so enamored of him. Kevin: Wanna bet? Nora: All right. He's handsome in an obvious sort of way. But that's no reason to act like a bunch of teenagers. Kevin: Yeah, I agree. Saul: Hi, everybody. Nora: Oh, for God sake. Has everyone in this family lost his mind? Saul: No, I just... somebody said it was a great day for a swim, so here I am. Nora: Kitty, look, I'm gonna go in the house and make you something cold to drink and maybe a tuna fish sandwich would be a good idea. Rebecca: He's getting out. He's getting out. Saul: He needs a towel. Should I give him a towel? Rebecca: Don't give him a towel. Justin: Hey. Saul: Hey. Luc, Bonjour, voilá. Je m'appelle Saul. Luc: Enchanté. Saul: Je suis l'oncle de Sarah. Nora: Unbelievable. Rebecca: Oh, he is. Kitty: Oh, my... Saul: I would like to make a toast to Luc. He's the first chef-artist-dancer-swimmer that I have ever known... a true Renaissance man. Santé. Luc: Thank you. Santé. Justin: Cheers. Sarah: I have to say, I've experienced the artist-chef, but the swimmer-dancer is new to me. Luc: Then let's go for a swim, everybody. Justin: I don't think any of us brought our swimming trunks. Kevin: No. Luc: We don't need trunks. It's dark, and there are no children around. Sarah: Luc, I love how really, really French you are. Kevin: Yeah, and sadly, we're really, really American. Justin: And related. Rebecca: Well, I guess that leaves dancing. Luc: Shall we? Sarah: I'm in. Scotty: Oh, me, too. Justin: I think I'm gonna pass on the whole thing. Rebecca: No, we have to show them what we learned. No, we're in. Saul: We're in. Luc: You're in. Saul: Good boy. Well done. Okay, Ms. Walker, may I have the honor of the next dance? Sarah: Oh, I would be delighted. Saul: What is your pleasure? Would you like to waltz or would you like to fox trot or... Sarah: I think I'd like to tango. Luc: Ooh. Tango... it's very difficult dance. Sarah: Are you saying I can't do it? Luc: Oh, no, no, no. Rebecca: I know how to tango. Sarah: Okay, you guys dance. We'll watch and learn. Luc: Okay. Sarah: Okay, you have to teach me how to do that. Saul: And me. Rebecca: Yes! Oh, come on. It's fun. Justin: Oh, no, no, you know, I'm gonna let the smoke settle out there. Kevin: Yeah, I agree. Scotty: Oh, no, no, no. Come on. Then I won't have a partner. I don't want to. Come on, Kevin. Please. Yes, yes, yes. Sarah: Come on, Kevin. Don't be so uptight. Kevin: By all means, let's tango. Luc: Stand up straight. Saul: I am. Luc: Hands behind the back. Saul: Right. Luc: Bravo. Saul: Same thing. Luc: So which one of you wants to be the man? Kevin: I will. Luc: Good. Scotty: Wait. Why do you get to be the man? Kevin: I don't know. Let's both be the man. Luc: Kevin, you're both suited to be the man, but a tango, it won't work unless one person lead and the other person follows. So... Kevin: Okay. Luc: Alors... Okay, it would be a very bad mistake to think that a woman is less than a man, in a dance or in life, you know? Um, the man and woman play their parts, but... it's equal. Sarah: Luc, that was beautifully put. Rebecca: Yes, it was. Thank you. Saul: All right, boys, make up your mind. Our arms are getting very tired, okay? Sarah: Come on, Kevin. Just be the girl. Please. Justin: Yeah, come on, Kevin. Man up and be the girl. Kevin: Look, I didn't even want to dance. Scotty: Oh, my God. You can't do it. Kevin: If it's so equal, why don't you do it? Sarah: Come on, Kevin. This is really starting to piss me off. Scotty: No, no, no, it's not about being the girl. It's about following, isn't it? No one's allowed to make any of the decisions but you. I'm supposed to follow and do whatever you want. Kevin: I have never bossed you around. Scotty: But somehow, all the important decisions are always yours... where we live, when we have a baby, how we have a baby, who takes care of the baby after it's born. Kevin: I'm sorry. I'm not having this argument here. Scotty: Oh, when we have an argument. Saul: I think the tango was not a good idea. Scotty: You know what? I'm making a decision now. We're leaving. Good night, everybody. Luc, thank you for a wonderful meal. Guys, I'm sorry. I'm sorry if we spoiled your dance lesson. Justin: Kevin, I think you should follow. Sarah: Sometimes, men can be so stupid. Luc: We are all fools when it comes down to love... me included. Kevin: All I'm saying is, I think it's dangerous to use the tango as a metaphor for our marriage. Scotty: Okay... Kevin: No, I don't think either one of us should lead or follow. Scotty: Okay, but what if one of us has a really strong intuition about something? And what if one of us just needs the other person to trust him? Kevin: What... what if... one of... I'm... I'm sorry. I got lost in the pronouns. Scotty: Okay, I need you to hear me. I need you to understand. Kevin: I am! Scotty: I love you, and I want to start a family with you, and I want to start soon. And when the stars align and suddenly it's possible, when the universe gives us an opportunity like this, I... I just don't think it's very gracious to argue. Kevin: We would have to treat her like any other surrogate. Scotty: Of... of course. Kevin: And she has to do all the tests... Scotty: Okay. Kevin: Drugs, mental, physical... everything. Scotty: Agreed. Kevin: And she's only the surrogate. She is not the egg donor. Scotty: Okay. Kevin: And I get all the handbags I want. Scotty: Deal. Kevin: "Deal"? Scotty: Come here. Come here. Kevin: Hi. Scotty: Hello, everyone. Nora: Morning, guys. How are you? Hello. Um, Luc, sweetie, would you get me the salsa? Kevin: "Sweetie"? Scotty: We brought muffins. Luc: I'm learning how to make, uh, how do you call, Nor? Kevin: "Nor"? Nora: Huevos rancheros. Luc: It's Kitty's favorite. Kevin: Yeah, yeah, I know. How is she? Nora: She's better. She's tired, but she's better. Okay, Luc. Here, I want you to try this. He... he can't get with the whole eggs/bean combo thing. Scotty: Oh, yes. It's not exactly a French flavor. Sarah: Hi! Bonjour. Nora: It's good? Kevin: Just in time. Mom's just been flirting with your new boy... Nora: Good morning, guys. Kevin: Wooo, hi. Nora: Hi, honey. Uh, Paige, Cooper, this is Luc. Luc: Hello. Sarah: Luc's a good friend of mom's. Paige: Hi. Uh, grandma, um, where's aunt Kitty? We want to give her our present. Nora: She's upstairs playing with Evan. Paige: Cool. Come on. Nora: Sarah, can I talk to you for a minute? Sarah: Sure, mom. Luc: So did you two work out your tango problem? Scotty: Yes. Kevin: Yeah. Luc: So who will be the girl? Kevin: Her name's Michelle. Luc: Good for you. ♪ Beautiful World ♪ by Aidan Hawken ♪ Listen Nora: All right. Brunch in bed for everyone. Kitty: Oh, my gosh. Paige: It worked. Nora: Huevos rancheros. Kitty: Mom, you really didn't have to do that. We were just on our way down. Nora: Well, we had a minor mishap in the kitchen. Kevin melted the salsa bowl in the microwave. Sarah: Now what would you call that in Italian, kids? Paige & Cooper: El stupido! Kevin: Oh! Who's el stupido? Kitty: You know, you know, those buttons on the microwave Are awfully confusing. Kevin: Are they awfully confusing?

Kevin: Travis, I don't care that you work for governor Kern. You know the protocol. The senator's the ranking official when it comes to greeting international guests. Travis: Nice try, but the governor of California is gonna be at the bottom of those stairs ahen the Prince of Wales sets his pretty royal toe on California soil. Kevin: Really? Well, then I'd hate to see your face when his royal highness walks straight past her and says hi to the senator because they played golf together in Scotland. Travis: I didn't know you had a baby. Kevin: You know, maybe... maybe we can, uh, you know, set up... something with the prince at the hotel, like a photo-op. Travis: Do I need to call 9-1-1? Scotty: I think he's hungry. Or maybe he's just wet. Kevin: Scotty! Uh, it's... it's not a baby. Travis: Yeah, well, whatever it is, deal with it. Look, I'm glad we settled this issue. Kevin: Uh, you know what? We didn't settle any... What are you doing? That was important. Scotty: You keep insisting we can manage a baby with two careers, so I thought we'd have a little dress rehearsal. Kevin: Well, you know what? Your timing sucks. I have this visit and two press releases to get out today. Scotty: Yeah, well, you know what? I have tonight's menu to prepare. And that crying baby? Someone needs to change his diaper. Uh-oh. It's... it's a poopy one. Kevin: You made your point. We'll talk about this later. Scotty: Yeah, well, it's always later, Kevin, that's the problem. Travis: Hey. Kevin: I already called the state department, told them the senator will be meeting the plane, so you can save your breath. Travis: No, I'm here about Kitty. I'm sorry, by the way. Uh, when are you doing the press conference? Kevin: What are you talking about? Travis: Look, we know. Uh, we're telling everyone on the campaign hands off, leave it alone completely. And if you give us a day, we can have the governor cancel any appearances she has, out of respect. Kevin: Out of respect for what? Travis: Look, I'm in this thing to win, but even I wouldn't use a wife's cancer to score points. Are you... Oh. You didn't know? Kevin: It's Kev. Kitty: Oh, hey. Kevin: You are not gonna believe what Travis tried to do to me today. He tried to tell me that you have... That you're sick, but I mean, like, really sick. That's... that's insane, right? I mean, come on. Tell me that's insane. Kitty: Yeah, he's gonna try to spin this into a reason that Robert can't run for governor. Kevin: Kitty. Kitty: You're gonna try to get on top of this. Kevin: Kit! Kitty: What? Kevin: I'm... I'm sorry. Is... is... is this true? Kitty: Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. I'm... I'm... I'm... I... I'm gonna have to figure this out. Um... Um... Uh... Kevin: Kit, it's me. It's your little brother. You can... Please talk to me. Kitty: Yeah, yeah. Kevin: Please... Tell me. Tell me. What... what... what... what do you have? Where is it? I mean, how... how long have you known? Kitty: It's lymphoma, and, Kevin, I... I am so sorry that you had to find out this way. Kevin: No, no, no. That's okay. Kitty: Oh, God. I'm gonna have to tell everybody now. Kevin: No. No, you don't. You absolutely don't. Look, I c... I can keep this a secret as long as you want. I know you don't think I can. I... I will. I promise. Kitty: No. No, you know what? I think it's actually better if I just tell everybody at once, you know, just to... just to get it out there. Y... y... you know what... you know what I can do? Is I can call mom, and I'll... I'll just have her arrange one of her... one of her dinners, but... but it's like... Kev. Kev, it's okay. It's gonna be okay. Rebecca: Maybe this is about Sarah. Nora: Okay, everyone, here she is. Kitty: Hey. Hi, guys. I'm, um, I'm so sorry to... to keep you waiting. Justin: What's going on? Rebecca: Oh, no. Are you guys getting a divorce? Robert: No, no. Kitty: No, no, no, no. Justin: No, look, I'm so sorry. I... I have gross anatomy class tomorrow morning, and my lab partner has a patent, so... Kitty: Well, um, it... it's... it's about me. Kevin: Oh, God. Kitty: Kevin. Rebecca: Kevin, are you crying? Kitty: Oh, Kevin, don't. Saul: ugh, ugh, ugh.... Kitty: Saul. Saul? Saul, why are... why are you crying? Nora: I had to tell someone. Justin: Well, somebody better tell us. I'm starting to panic here. Rebecca: Uh, yeah. Kitty: It's okay. It's... it's... it's... I... I... I have cancer. It's, uh, it's lymphoma. It's in... it's in stage III, which... which isn't the worst. Justin: Kitty. Kitty: Um, it just... it just means that it... it's spread a little bit. Nora: But it's not in her bone marrow. Kitty: No, and... and my oncologist is... is very positive about the prognosis. It's just a matter now of deciding what treatment to do. Scotty: Chemo or radiation? Nora: Well, R-chop probably, which is chemo. It's the standard of care. Kitty: Well, maybe. I... Robert: She's also been accepted into a clinical trial in Boston. Kitty: I have? Robert: Yeah, I made a call. Nora: Robert, I asked you not to make that call. Rebecca: You may be going to Boston? Kitty: Wh... no. I... I... well, I may... I don't know. I don't... I don't know what I'm gonna do. Mom, can you please sit down? Nora: I'm sorry. Kitty: I'm... I'm just gonna take some time and... and, uh, figure out what to do. Um, but, you know, l... let's just have a normal night. Robert: Yeah. Saul: Right. Yeah. Kitty: It's gonna be... it's gonna be fine, and... and mom made some turkey meat loaf, and... Nora: Yeah. So, come on. Let's... let's all sit down and eat. Um, Robert, I could, uh, use your help in the kitchen. Kitty: So how's the, uh, surrogacy going? Scotty: Well, you know... Kevin: Coming along. Kitty: Mm. Good. Nora: I've got garlic rolls. A few fell on the ground. Kitty: Mmm. Nora: But 10-second rule. They'll be fine. They'll be fine. Kitty: Oh, no, thanks. Thanks, mom. Nora: Oh, so you're reading it, huh? See? Saul: I better go into the kitchen and see what's going on. I think she needs some help. Robert: She practically threw up the lining of her stomach. Nora: Well, that's a hell of a lot better than what might happen to her if she decides to be a lab rat. Kitty: Guys... rolls. Scotty: You know what I just thought of? I mean, I... I could cook for you. I could leave a big cooler outside your door with fresh meals in it every day, and you wouldn't have to worry about that. Kitty: That's really sweet, Scotty, but you know what? I'm not gonna be an invalid. I'm gonna be able to cook. But I... I have, um, I have the answer for you guys... live-in nanny. Kevin: I'm sorry, I can't do this. Look, I know you want to talk about meat loaf and babies, but I... I can't sit here and pretend everything's normal. I'm so sorry. Scotty: I'm sorry. I... I feel like I should talk to him. Kitty: Yeah, it's okay. I... I understand. Y... you should go get him. Scotty: Okay. Justin: Look, mom's right. That's all they talk about in rehab, is your support system. Robert: Kitty doesn't have an addiction. Scotty: You know what? Kitty's alone out there. Nora: You know, Robert, if it is such a good treatment, why is it not the standard of care? Saul: That's right. And... and tell me, why hasn't the American cancer association come out and supported it or the F.D.A. approved it? Why? Robert: Because the f.D.A. won't update its protocols and streamline their approvals. Nora: Oh, for goodness sakes. Robert: You have no idea how many drugs that could save people's lives are just stuck in bureaucratic red tape. Nora: You don't know which one is which. Scotty: But what about A.Z.T.? They approved that in seven days. Nora: Exactly. Exactly. Kevin: After huge political pressure. No one's marching on capitol hill for lymphoma. Robert: Thank you, Kevin. Kevin: She should have the most aggressive treatment possible. Nora: Kevin, aggressive could kill her. Robert: No, no, cancer could kill her. Nora: Aggressive could kill... Justin: Mom. Mom. Guys. Nora: What? Wh... Oh, Kitty. Kitty: I'm sorry. I'm... I'm so sorry. I mean, I know... I know this was just such a... a... a shock, but, you know, all this... all this fighting is... is... is not gonna help me, and it's... it's not gonna help anything. You know, I just, um, I just really wanted to have a... a normal dinner, you know? And it was so... it was so crazy of me to think That we could just eat and talk and... and be normal, because, of course, y... you're right. You're right, Kev. There's... there's nothing normal about... Nora: Are you all right? Kitty: Yeah. Yeah. I just... Oh, God. I'm tired. Robert: I'm gonna get your things. Kitty: Yeah, I think I... I think I need to... I need to go home. And, mom, I'm so sorry. This was just such a bad idea. Nora: Sorry. Kitty: It's okay. I'll see you soon. Scotty: Can I say something that's wildly inappropriate? Kevin: If it has anything to do with death, dying or cancer, I don't think I can take it. Scotty: Actually, it's about the opposite. Kevin: Okay. Scotty: Let's have a baby. I warned you it was inappropriate. Kevin: I'm touched that you wanna do this for me, but having a baby, it... it's just not gonna help. Scotty: I'm not trying to help. You know, ever since this surrogacy idea came up, I've been obsessed with what a huge obligation a baby would be, and all the precious time I'd lose. And then tonight... I don't wanna wait until the "right time" to have a baby. There is no right time. Kevin: But there is a wrong time. All I can do right now is think about Kitty, and that wouldn't be fair to a... to a baby or to you. Maybe in a couple of months? Scotty: Now you sound like me. Kevin: I'm sorry. Scotty: No. We'll wait. Kevin: I love you. Scotty: I love you, too. ♪ Have A Little Faith ♪ by Michael Franti ♪ Listen Kitty: They've already had, like, these nighttime tea parties. Kevin: Hi. We were just in your incredibly remote neighborhood... Scotty: Carrying a 4-course meal... Kevin: So we thought we'd stop by... Scotty: 'cause that's how we roll. Robert: Did you rehearse that in the car? Kevin: Yeah, a little bit. Kitty: Hi. Hi. I can't believe this. I can't believe you're here. Wow. Well, thank you. Saul: Whoa! Hold the door! Robert: Saul! Wow. Wow! There's a party. Saul: Oh, I'm so glad I brought a whole case. Kevin: Was that you on the road behind us? Saul: Was it me? Who else is gonna shine their brights on you... Kitty: Oh, you guys should have communicated. You should have carpooled. Nora: Is this too much for you, all of us here? Kitty: No, no, this is great. I'm... I'm... I'm very happy. Let... let's... let's eat. Nora: Yes, move outside. Come on. Everybody outside. Rebecca: I hope that our wedding is this easy to cater. Nora: Oh, the best thing about planning a wedding is all the tastings. Kevin: Tastings? Nora: Yeah. Kevin: My husband's the best chef in town. Scotty: Oh, Kevin. Saul: Oh, that's why you came today. You're auditioning for the job. Rebecca: Scotty, we would love for you to do it. Justin: Yeah, we just didn't want to assume you'd be... Scotty: No, no, no. Assume away. I would love to. Kevin: I'm warning you now... he's not cheap. Nora: Okay, where were we? Another one? Are you all right? Kitty: Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm... I'm just... I'm... I'm happy. Scotty: No, I'll get it. I'll get it. I'll get it. I'll get it. Sarah: What's with the traffic jam in your driveway? Kitty: Sarah. Sarah: Oh, Kitty. Kitty: Oh! I'm so happy you're here.

Scotty: I know it's a little over the top, but I'm thinking of making steak and eggs for breakfast. How do you want yours? Kevin: Bloody. Scotty: Wait a minute. I've seen that look before. Kevin: What look? Scotty: Like the guy in the movie in the loin cloth with a bone through his nose. Just promise me you'll think before you speak. Don't say anything you're gonna regret. Kevin: Do you know who works for Governor Kern now? Travis March. Do you know what he used to do? He used to help run Robert's presidential campaign. I know exactly what I'm gonna say to the mercenary little bitch. He probably went to the hospital and stole Robert's chart himself. Scotty: "Bitch"? You're off to a really good start. Kevin: You know what? He wears loafers with argyle socks. What would you call him? Scotty: I don't know. European? I just hope you know what you're doing Kevin:. Oh, yeah. We're prepared. Hope to put an end to it this morning. Oh, and if it does go smoothly, I thought we could go to Lucques for dinner tonight. Doug and Barry are gonna be there. They got a table on the patio. Scotty: Last time we hung out with them, you said it was like chewing on chili peppers with a mouth full of canker sores. Kevin: Yeah, you know, I... I meant that in the best possible way. Scotty: Wait a minute. The patio? They're bringing their baby, aren't they? Kevin: I... I don't know. Maybe. Well, she is kind of adorable. She's still got that new baby smell. Scotty: Kevin, I am so on to you. I said I don't want to be pressured about the whole surrogacy thing. Kevin: I'm not pressuring. I... I'm nudging. Scotty: I d... I don't want to talk about the baby thing right now. Kevin: Fine. No more baby talk. Promise. Won't even coo in your ear Scotty: Thank you. And next time you feel like bullying someone, save it for your friend in the argyle socks. Nora: So how upset was he? Kevin: Considering everything, he was remarkably stoic. Nora: I just can't believe this is happening right now. Scotty: Well, at least you have Evan here, right? Nora: Well, I was hoping they would have time to talk about. Something other than work. Scotty: I notice that Governor Kern has a few problems of her own. Kevin: What do you mean? Scotty: She had an affair. I saw it online. Kevin: Really. Wow. Scotty: Wait, how do I know this and you don't? Kevin: Well, no. I... I heard the rumors. I just wasn't sure if they were true. Nora: Well, maybe Robert will feel better that. Where's Evan? Did you get him to go to sleep? Scotty: Yeah. Nora: I can't believe it. He's been fussing and crying for a straight hour. Kevin: They are so cute together. He's like the baby whisperer. Nora: Well, if he's the baby whisperer, then what am I? Kevin: Probably the baby annoyer. Scotty: He's just trying to be nice to me so he can get what he wants. Kevin: No, not at all. All I'm saying is, you're great with kids. Scotty: Well, that's because I live with one. Nora, why don't you take a break? I'll... I'll take over for a bit. Nora: I'm fine. Scotty: No, you're exhausted. I get it. Nora: I'm not exhausted. Scotty: Well, Kevin told me you've been complaining, so I thought... Nora: I've been complaining? Kevin: No, no, no. Scotty: Oh, Kevin! Kevin: I said you're probably exhausted. Scotty: Will you please tell your son to stop making these playdates for me? Kevin, I love babies, okay? That doesn't mean I want one... Kevin: I have to take this. Scotty: Oh, sure. Kevin: Hi, what's going on? No, just hanging with mom, Scotty and your son. Nora: Is that Robert? Kevin: Wo... I.. wh.. I have no idea what you're talking about. Yeah, I can come right now if you want. All right. I'll... I'll be there as soon as I can. But, no. All I'm... He hung up. Nora: What's wrong? Kevin: I think he's a little upset with me right now. Nora: Is it about Kitty? Kevin: No, believe me. This is not a marital issue. I have to go to Santa Barbara, so... I'll call you later. Scotty: Wait. Santa Barbara? What's going... Kevin. Nora: Ke... Scotty: Kevin. I can't believe this. Wait. Wait. Who's gonna take me home? Kevin! Nora: Kevin! Scotty: Unbelievable. Nora: Well, I could take you home. Scotty: No, it's okay. You have Evan. I'll... I'll take a cab. Scotty: You should see him, all curled up with his giraffe. Nora: Kevin's right. You're a natural. Scotty: Oh, I wouldn't go that far. Nora: Scotty, what's going on with all this baby stuff? What are you feeling? Why are you so afraid? Scotty: Oh, I don't know my mother, the things I grew up hearing. I mean, two gay dads. What if it's a boy? Who's gonna teach him how to bait a hook? Nora: Bait a hook? Scotty: Yeah, or toss a football, beat up a bully I don't know, defend himself. Nora: You have always been so comfortable with yourself, from the very first time I met you, when your... your hair was all... Scotty: The toucan. Nora: The toucan. And you had a box of red velvet cupcakes. You seemed perfectly capable of defending yourself. I'm not buying this whole "baiting the hook" routine. Scotty: Fine. You want to know the truth? Nora: Yes. Scotty: It's about your son, so brace yourself. Nora: Oh, God. Now what? Scotty: No, it's... He works too much. And that's never gonna change. We weren't here ten minutes before his phone rang and he was out the door again. Nora: Well, you have a job. Scotty: I know I run a kitchen at a very major restaurant. I don't know how he thinks we're gonna be able to do this. Nora: Have you told him what you feel? Scotty: No. So far, we've only been able to talk about the money, which is a lot, by the way. Nora: Well, Scotty, you have to talk to him, because, believe me, I know Kevin. And the moment he sees his child, he will adjust his life to make room. I know, because when you look down at that little person they just simply own you the rest of your life, and all that matters is that. Scotty: Nora, are you all right? Nora: Yes. Yes. I just think you will be a wonderful dad. Scotty: Well, don't worry. I'm keeping an open mind. Scotty: I was still reading that. Kevin: Okay. Scotty: I'm still drinking that. Kevin: Please. This has to stop, okay? You're still mad. I get it. Scotty: No, I'm thirsty and I haven't finished reading the newspaper. Kevin: I... I shouldn't have left you at mom's. I'm sorry. Look, why don't I just, I'll... I'll pay the cab fare. Call it retribution. Scotty: It's not about the cab, Kevin. Kevin: I'm not gonna force babies on you ever again okay? I'm not gonna force anything on anybody. You should've heard Robert last night. I... I'll be lucky if I still have a job when I go in today. Scotty: You're always going to have a job, Kevin. You live for it. And you say you want a baby, and I'm sure you do, but who's gonna be at home to look after it? I mean. I have a life, too, and it may not be as important as yours, it may not be in the newspaper every day, but I like what I do, and I'm not sure I'm ready to give that up yet. Kevin: I'm... I'm not asking you to. Scotty: Yes, you are. By the way you live your life, you are. I mean, look at your hours. The campaign has barely even started, and what happens when you're on the road campaigning? Kevin: We can get a nanny. Scotty: That still doesn't change the fact that you're never gonna be around. Kevin: I'm not gonna be an absent father. I grew up with one. That's not what I want for my child. Scotty: Okay. Then promise me if things get crazy, you'll quit your job. Promise me that. Kevin: I can't do that. But what I can do is try to prove to you... as much as possible that I will try my best to do what's right what... whatever that is for us and for our kid. Every family has these doubts, but... you just have to make a leap of faith. Scotty: I just want to make sure we leap together. Kevin: We will. I promise. Scotty: The cab cost $32.50. But... I know how you can pay me back. Kevin: Oh, so... does this mean you're in love with me again? Scotty: I never stopped loving you, Kevin.
