<< S5E5 S5E7 >>

Nora: If you're just joining us today, on "Dear Mom", we're talking about the big C. Commitment. And our next caller is Janey from Irvine. Good morning, Janey. So what's on your mind? Janey: Hi, Nora. I love your show. Nora: Thank you. Um, okay, so, Janey, what's up? Janey: How do I know if my boyfriend Doug is truly committed to our relationship? Nora: I don't know. Why are you asking me? You have to hang up the phone, call Doug, and ask him. Janey: I don't know if I want to hear the answer. Nora: You can't waste your life waiting for someone to commit. But you... but you can't give up hope either. Sometimes there's hope where you least expect it. Take my middle son for instance. Now he was the child I thought least likely to commit, ever. And now he and his husband have been happily married for over three years. And honestly... they have one of the best marriages I know. So there you have it. Scotty: Oh, I... I thought you might want an espresso. I didn't realize you were still sleeping. Kevin: I wouldn't call it sleeping. More like barely achieving a semi-unconscious state. Scotty: Th-there's regular coffee, if you want that, too. Kevin: Was there something else? Scotty: Uh, yeah. Actually, I wanted to... to talk about the party tonight. I don't want to ruin it for you, so I thought maybe I... I shouldn't be there. Kevin: It's a charity event. People have paid 150 bucks per head to be served your signature hors d'oeuvres by you, and that's what they're gonna get. Oh, G... this thing is like a concrete slab. Scotty: Kevin, I know how upset you are... Kevin: Yeah, it's kind of an appropriate reaction when you find out your husband was with someone else, don't you think? You finished upstairs? Because I'd like to take a shower now, please. Scotty: Yeah, I'm all done. The bathroom's all yours. Kevin: Good. Kevin: God! You have to be iron man to get these things off. Scotty: Kevin, let me help. Kevin: I can manage. Scotty: You're sleep deprived. Why don't you let me sleep on the couch? Kevin: Because I don't want to sleep in our bed. Scotty: I told you, nothing happened in our bed. Kevin: Yeah, and I've told you, I don't want to know any details. Scotty: Fine, but we're both still living here, and your whole family is coming here tonight, and we can't just keep walking around like nothing's wrong. Kevin: I don't want my family to know because it's humiliating. Scotty: Sometimes I wish I never told you. Kevin: Then why did you? Scotty: Because I made a mistake, Kevin, and the worst thing I did was try to pretend like it never happened. I love you, and I know I owed you the truth. Kevin: No, what you owed me was fidelity. Sarah: Hey! Oh, God. I need a coffee. Are you two fighting? Kevin: No. Scotty: No. Sarah: Good. Okay, come on. Let's go through the details for tonight. Mom should be here any moment. Scotty: Wait. N... Nora's coming here now? Sarah: Well, I hope so. It's her charity. You think I'm super excited about the Grace Hill historical trust? What's this? Why can't I have a latte? Scotty: Uh, the machine's broken. I gotta go shopping. Sarah: You know what? I need a pad and pen. Kevin: Wait, Sarah, um, d... Sarah: Kevin. Kevin: Yeah. Sarah: Why are there sheets on your couch? Kevin: Uh, we had a house-guest. Sarah: Oh, yeah? Kevin: Yeah. Sarah: Who? Kevin: Barbara. Sarah: Barbara? Barbara who? Kevin: You don't know her. Sarah: Yeah, well, tell her she left your shoes, socks, tie, and shirt on the floor. What's going on? Is Scotty mad at you? Nora: Whoo-hoo. Hi. Sarah: Here you are. Kevin: Hi. Nora: Oh. Thank you so much for coming to help me. And Kevin, did you listen to my show this morning? Kevin: No, sorry. Nora: Well, I mentioned you and Scotty. I used you as an example of a great marriage. Sarah: Oh, I don't know how great it is, mom. Kevin slept in his office last night. Nora: Oh. What, does Scotty snore? Kevin: No, I was just, uh, I was too tired to make it upstairs. No big deal. Sarah: Oh, yeah? Kevin: Yeah. Sarah: So why the big story about Barbara? Nora: Who's Barbara? Kevin: Never mind. Nora: Hey. Scotty: Hi, Nora. Nora: Is everything okay? Sarah: Come on, Scotty, tell us. Why is Kevin in the dog house? Kevin: I'm not in the dog house? Sarah: Woof! Nora: Oh, Kevin, what did you do? Sarah: Come on. Don't cover for him. Spill the beans. Kevin: Why do you assume it's me? Maybe I'm down here for my own reasons. Nora: Really, what could Scotty have possibly done? Kevin: He cheated. That's what he did. So much for your great marriage. I have to get ready for court. Have a good party. Nora: Sarah, for God sakes, it's not even noon yet. Sarah: Who cares, mom? We're in the Twilight Zone now. Besides, it's rosé. Let's call it brunch. Nora: Fine. Pour me one. Justin: Hey. Sarah: Hey. Nora: Hi. Justin: Hi, mom. Nora: What are you doing here? Justin: Uh, Scotty asked me to bartend tonight. Sarah: Oh, a-are you okay with that? Justin: I used to do it all the time. And I'm sober now, so don't worry about me. Sarah: Good. Justin: I'd worry about yourselves, if anyone. So, uh, where's Scotty? He's gotta walk me through the setup. Sarah: Yeah. Look, um, we have a situation there. Nora: It seems... it seems that Scotty... Sarah: Cheated. Nora: Cheated on Kevin. Justin: What, liked hooked up? Sarah: Yeah. Nora: I don't know. Justin: Oh, no, no, no. No, I don't believe it. Nora: It's hard to believe. Justin: No, mom, I actually don't believe it. Sarah: Oh, believe it. It happens... dad, remember Joe, my ex-husband? Nora: Oh, come on, Sarah. Stop it. That's an unfair comparison. Sarah: Is it? Nora: Yes. Sarah: Why? Justin: Because Scotty's a better person. Sarah: Is he? Nora: Absolute... Justin: Yes. He is, and you were fighting with Joe long before anything ever happened with... Nora: You were fighting long before... Sarah: Yeah, but I believed in our marriage, and I thought he was the last man on this planet that would go... Justin: Okay, stop. You know what? Listen, Sarah, I get it. Dudes cheat. Nora: Yeah. Justin: All right? But Scotty's not that dude. Nora: No. Justin: We all know that, right? There has to be some explanation. Sarah: Well, the only one I can come up with is that when it comes to marriage, maybe love's not enough. Maybe you just never know... Nora: Oh, Sarah... Sarah, stop it. Don't talk like that. Don't talk like that. We have absolutely no idea what happened. Justin: Exactly. Rebecca and I used to fight all the time over misunderstandings... Nora: Yes, yes, yes... Sarah: And now you're divorced. What is your point? Justin: Come on, really? Nora: Now just stop it. You know, stop. This can't happen. Sarah: Really, what is your point? Nora: Okay? This can't happen. They're gonna get over it. That's all. They're gonna get over it. Sarah: Where are you going? Nora: I'm gonna find Kevin. You and Joe got divorced. Rebecca and Justin got divorced, Tommy and Julia... I probably should've gotten divorced. But Kevin and Scotty? No. They are the one Walker marriage which is not going down in flames. Kitty: Why don't you come over to my place tonight, and... and we can make sundaes? Kevin: No. You have to go to this thing. It's for charity. You're one of the draws. Kitty: Oh, please, Kevin. I don't want to be a draw anymore. I am just Kitty Walker now. Look, we can have a slumber party, just like we used to in the old days. And... and I'll tell Jack that tonight is canceled. Kevin: Doesn't he, like, live with you now? Kitty: No. No, he's staying with me intermittently. And it... it might change. I... you don't want to hear about this right now. Kevin: What, your new and exciting love life? No, I don't. Kitty: Oh, Kev. Listen, you know, Robert and I... Ugh. We made so many mistakes. Okay? And we got through it. And when you're ready to talk calmly, you and Scotty can sit... Kevin: What do you want me to do, Kit, just forgive him? Why... Oh, of course you do. You did the same thing. No, you had an affair with that guy from the park. Kitty: No, nothing happened between me and Alec. Kevin: You kissed him, Kitty, and even if you hadn't, you had an emotionally intimate relationship... Kitty: Kevin, Kevin... Kevin: That you withheld from your husband. Kitty: I am not condoning cheating. Kevin: No, you're excusing it. You know what? I am gonna go tonight because I live there. It's where my office is. Get Scotty over for sundaes. Scotty: Hi. So I guess you know. Saul: Yep, I spoke to Nora. I have to make a change in the menu tonight. Scotty: Um, okay. What are you thinking? Saul: Well, the mushrooms are wilted, so we can't do the mushrooms béchamel. I'll make ricotta fritters instead. Scotty: Okay. Can I help? Saul: No. No, you don't need to be involved in this. Scotty: Saul, please don't do this. You can't just ignore me. Saul: Well, Scotty, I'm at a loss. How could you do this? Scotty: It's not like I planned it. Things between Kevin and me were terrible back then. Saul: Really? How terrible could they have been? Scotty: It was two months after the accident. Robert was in a coma. Michelle had just miscarried. That terrible, okay? It was the opening night of the restaurant. === Scotty: Yeah, I need 4 pounds of crab meat. Okay, good. Call me back. Bye. Kevin: Oh! Scotty: What are you doing? Kevin: The... the cable guys turned the service on, but I can't reach the outlet to plug in the damn modem. Could you please help me? Scotty: Kevin, I have, like, 60 guests coming in 7 hours. You really have to do this now? Kevin: Yes, I know, and it's great that it's your big night. But I can't look for a job without the Internet. Scotty: Okay, fine. So where is my chef's jacket? Kevin: I'll get it later. Can you just help me push? Scotty: Okay, fine. Here we go. Kevin: Go. Scotty: Oh, did I tell you the critic from the "L.A. Times" is coming? Kevin: Oh, yeah, that's great. Yeah. Okay, it's in. Scotty: You know, Kevin, this could be a really big step forward for both of us. I just want to make sure that every... Ow! Ow! Ow! Kevin: What? What? What? Scotty: My hand is stuck! Kevin: Sorry. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Scotty: Ow! God, Kevin! God! I have to cook tonight. Did you really have to do this now?! Kevin: I'm sorry. Are you okay? Scotty: I'm fine. Could you just please pick up my chef's jacket? Kevin: Yeah, um... Scotty, about tonight, there's a partner coming in from a big London firm. He's stopping off on his way to Japan. He wants to see me about opening a practice here, but he can only meet tonight. Scotty: You're kidding me. Kevin: I might just be a little bit late. Well, come on. It wasn't planned. Look, I need a job. You don't know if this restaurant's gonna work. Scotty: Oh, thanks. Kevin: C... come on. I didn't mean it like that. Scotty: Yeah, you did. Kevin: You know what? There's a lot of things that we've wanted recently that haven't worked out the way we've hoped. Dreams don't always come true. Scotty: You know, Kevin, things have been bad, but I don't even recognize you anymore. Kevin: Oh, come on. Scotty: I hope you can make it tonight. === Scotty: We just let things get too bad. Saul: You're just making excuses. Scotty: Excuses? I'm not making excuses. I'm saying... Saul: You're trying to blame Kevin. Scotty: I'm not blaming him. I'm saying that it was complicated. Saul: I don't want to hear any more of this. This family has always been behind you. Scotty: I know. Saul: The only reason I'm here today is because we have a commitment to host this charity. But I will tell you one thing, Scotty. I have never been more disappointed in anyone in my life. Judge: I'm sorry, Mr. Walker, but I can't wait any longer. Ms. Lacy was duly summoned... Kevin: She's on her way, Your Honor. I spoke with her this morning. Judge: Well, it's this afternoon now. Kevin: An eviction notice is a court order if it's not contested. She'll lose the case by default if we don't contest. Judge: I'm well-aware of that. So where is Ms. Lacy? Kevin: She's on a bus. She's a 63-year-old woman with no car or support system. Judge: Mr. Walker, you need to calm down. Kevin: Well, maybe if she had an $80,000 car like you, she'd be on time. Judge: You are this close to being held in contempt of court. Is that her? Kevin: No, Your Honor. That would be my mother. I can't believe you embarrassed me in front of a courtroom of people. Nora: Well, it's a good thing I showed up. You were about to get arrested. Kevin: Cited. You don't get arrested for contempt of... it doesn't matter. Where is my soda? This is such a cliché. What, am I gonna hit the machine now? Nora: You're not gonna hit the machine, Kevin. You're not... just breathe. Would you please br... sit over here and br... for God sakes, breathe. Kevin: If you've come here to help the peace process, you should just go home. Nora: I came here to be with my son. Kevin: Did you really say that Scotty and I had the perfect marriage on the radio? Nora: No. I... I said you have one of the best marriages I know. Kevin: Maybe you should air a retraction. Nora: I still believe that. Kevin: Mom, please stop, because you can't fix this. Nora: Kevin, you and Scotty are so happy together. You have a great relationship. Kevin: Oh, God. You're worse than Kitty. Nora: You have to work it out, Kevin. You have to work it out. You have to try. Kevin: Why, so I end up like you and dad? And with all due respect, I don't want your marriage. In fact, I did everything I could to choose someone... Oh. Who I thought was as different from dad as possible. Nora: Kevin, Kevin, your father lied to me year after year... Kevin: Yeah. Nora: After year about a million things, not just Holly. Scotty told you the truth. He didn't have to do that. That's worth a lot.

♪ I Know ♪ by Meaghan Smith ♪ Listen Nora: I wasn't sure we'd get it all decorated in time. Lady A: Oh, this is so wonderful of you to do this every year, Nora. Nora: Thank you. Lady B: And what a beautiful restaurant. Nora: Yes, Saul and... and my son-in-law own it. Lady A: The one you talked about this morning on your show? Nora: Yeah. Lady A: Oh, is he here tonight? We can't wait to meet him and his husband. Nora: Well, I'm sure that can be arranged. Sarah: You think? I wouldn't bet on it. Nora: Honey, don't be negative. Sarah: It's hard not to be tonight. Nora: Well, thank you so much for coming. Sarah: Thank you for your contribution. Nora: Come on, sweetheart. Lady B: Our pleasure. Justin: All right, Margarita, no salt. Marcus: And the two glasses of Merlot and the Manhattan, straight up. Justin: Yes, yes. Marcus: Take your time. Older crowd. I, uh, I'm Marcus, by the way. Justin: Uh, Justin. Marcus: How long you worked here? Justin: First night. Can you tell? Marcus: Not at all. Anyway, I, uh... I've got my own drama tonight. This, not my usual gig. Justin: Let me guess. You're an actor. Straight up Manhattan. Marcus: No, uh, the old guy asked me to sub for someone sick tonight. Justin: The o... Saul. Marcus: Yeah. I, uh, I worked here one night before, and, uh, I mixed a little business with pleasure. Justin: What do you mean? Marcus: I hooked up with the chef. Scotty? Th... that's his name, right? Justin: Are you serious? Marcus: Yeah, I told you... drama. Anyway, I... I hope his boyfriend's not here tonight. I knew he had one. Justin: You mean his husband. Kevin: Hey, barkeep, give me a shot of bourbon. How are you? Marcus: Great. Justin: Uh, look, two merlots. You're all set. Kevin: Wait a minute. What's the rush? Kevin. Marcus: Hey. Marcus. Kevin: What's up, Marcus? Justin: Go, man. I mean it. Go. Marcus: Okay, okay. Kevin: What, Scotty cheats, but I'm not even allowed to flirt? Justin: Um, will you watch the register for a second? Kevin: Why? Where are you going? Scotty: I need another tray of bruschetta. And let's get some more of those fritters out there. Cook: Got it. Scotty: Someone needs to peel and slice these red peppers. Justin: Scotty, I need to talk to you. Scotty: Justin, I would love to talk to you, too, but I got a million and one things going on back here. Justin: Marcus is here. Scotty: Marcus? Justin: Yeah. Kevin: Coming right up. Kitty: Oh, hey, Kev. Kevin: Hey. Kitty: Where's Justin? Kevin: I don't know. But he left me in charge. One double scotch on the rocks. Waiter A: Uh, I said a rob roy, didn't I? Kevin: Who's he? Jack: Why don't you let me get that? I used to tend bar in college. Kevin: No, I'm here to assert my right and title to this building, Jack. That's legalese for, I've decided to take a stand, and it's gonna be at the bar. Waiter A: Uh, still need that rob roy. Jack: I'll make it. Kevin: Okay. Could you please make it two, Jack? I'm dying to know what rob tastes like. You don't mind me calling you Rob, do you? Kitty: Kev, you're embarrassing yourself. Kevin: Am I really? I thought you were done with politics. I'm not here positioning myself for debate or saving face. I'm mad, Kit. Kitty: I know. Kevin: Really mad. And there are no talking points for that. Scotty: I can't believe he's here. Justin: Yeah, he works here, Scotty. He walked up, ordered drinks, and then all of a sudden started bragging about how he hooked up with the chef. Scotty: Okay, I get it. Saul must have called him. We're understaffed. I swear to you, Justin, I have not seen him since it happened. Justin: All right. I believe you. Scotty: Can you please get rid of him? Justin: Yeah. Scotty: Be discreet. I don't want Kevin any more hurt than he already is. Justin: Yeah. Scotty: And, Justin. Justin: Yeah. Scotty: Thank you. I made a mistake that may have cost me my marriage. I never considered that it could cost me my family, too. Justin: Help me out, Scotty. I know how much you love Kevin. That's obvious. But this guy is a douche. Like, how did this happen? Scotty: I don't want to make excuses. Justin: Then tell me the truth, 'cause, Scotty, I don't... like, I don't get it. === Scotty: The dining room is at capacity. Kevin, hold on a second. Wait. I'm not done with that. Thanks. Kevin, I saved you a seat. Everybody's asking where you are. Kevin: Yeah, the, uh, the meeting's taking longer than I expected. Scotty: Kevin, this is the most important thing that's happened to me in a long time. I... I want you to be here. I think you need to be here, for us. Kevin: It's, uh, it's not gonna work out tonight. I'm sorry. I'll... Scotty: Kevin... Kevin: I'll see you at home. Marcus: Table twelve looks like they're about to eat their silverware. Can I take these? Scotty: Uh, yeah. Marcus: You wanna sauce 'em first? Scotty: Thanks. Marcus: So... bad call? Scotty: Bad night. Marcus: Well, you know, you wouldn't know it from out there. People are hungry, they're drunk, and they're loving everything coming out of the kitchen. You're clearly a culinary superstar. And with that face... you should probably have your own reality show. Scotty: One ono and one artichoke. Marcus: In fact, when we're done, I'm buying you a drink. Scotty: I own the place. Marcus: Great. Then we'll get drunk on you, which is way better for me. === Justin: Scotty, don't you see what happened? He wasn't trying to be nice. He was playing you. He said all the things that you wanted Kevin to say. Scotty: Like I said, I don't want to make excuses. Marcus: There you are. The bar's getting pretty backed up without you. Hey. Scotty: Marcus, I don't know what you're doing here, but what happened that night was a mistake, and I need you to please leave. Marcus: Well, this is awkward. Scotty: I need you to leave now. Marcus: Well... you know, I could've got another job tonight. Justin: Are you seriously trying to get paid right now? Scotty: Saul will cut you a check for the whole night. Justin, could you please take care of that? Justin: Yeah. Go, man. Justin: Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys. Sarah: What? Kitty: What? Justin: The guy Scotty was with is here. Sarah: Here? Kitty: You're kidding. Justin: No. But Saul is paying him, and then he's leaving. Kitty: Pay him? For... for what? Justin: For working. Sarah: He's working here now? Kitty: Wait. I don't... I don't... Justin: It was a mistake. Saul didn't know he was "the guy." Sarah: So who's the guy? Kevin: What guy? Sarah: No one. Kitty: Uh, I-I have no idea what they're talking about. What are you talking about? Kevin: What guy? Oh, my God. He's here? He's one of the waiters? Justin: Look, Kevin, I'm dealing with it, all right? Kevin: You're dealing with it? Justin: I'm dealing with it. Kevin: So I'm right? This is unbelievable. Sarah: Kevin... Kitty: Kevin, easy, easy. Kevin: Which one is he? Nora: Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Kitty: Just calm down. Nora: Thank you so much for coming. This is always such a great day for my family, when we get to organize the grace hill historical trust dinner. Crowds: Chef. Chef! Chef! Chef! Chef! Nora: I know. Crowds: Chef! Chef! Chef! Nora: The food is wonderful, and there he is right there. Kevin: Is that him? Nora: A rising young star... Justin: No. Kevin: That's not him? Justin: No. Kevin: Oh, my God. It's Rob Roy. Sarah: Who's Rob Roy? Kevin: I know his type. Sarah: God. Kitty: Let's go Nora: Uh, I hope you all, um, eat a lot... Of food and just enjoy yourselves, and... okay. Kevin: Hey, Rob Roy. Waiter A: What the hell, man? I didn't do anything. Justin: No, but you did. Kevin: That's him?! Scotty: Kevin, stop. Kevin: Uh.... Scotty: Kevin, you can't just go around hitting people. Kevin: Oh, God. You know what? I am so sick of people telling me what to do and how to feel. Scotty: Kevin, the person you want to hit is me. Kevin: A waiter? A waiter, really? It's so obvious. I'd have given you more credit than that. Scotty: Kevin, I had no idea he was gonna be here. Kevin: Oh, God. More excuses. Scotty: Just say it. You've been wanting to say it all week. Kevin: No! Because I don't actually want to talk to you. Scotty: You have to talk to me. Kevin: You did this. You ruined our marriage... everything we fought for... for what? So you could get groped by a 24 year old. Scotty: I get it. You're angry. Kevin: I am not angry! I am in pain, and you put me here! The person who was supposed to love me more than anything. Scotty: Kevin... Kevin: You were supposed to be better than this. Scotty: I'm not. I'm just as lost... and damaged and screwed up as the rest of you. I'm not perfect, Kevin. I am not perfect.

Kevin: You're sure the waiter's okay? He could get very litigious on me. Nora: No, he's fine. He's not gonna sue. Kevin: I wouldn't blame him if he did. Nora: He told me his girlfriend cheated on him last year, and he still wants to punch somebody. You have a right to be angry, Kevin. And the fact you wanted to take the guy's head off means something. Kevin: Yeah, that I should avoid bourbon. Nora: Well, that, too. But it means you care enough about your marriage to really fight for it, literally. Kevin: Maybe if I'd fought a little earlier... mom, Scotty's not the only one to blame for this. This didn't exactly happen in a vacuum. Do you remember the opening night party for this restaurant? Nora: God, that was a terrible time for everybody. ♪ True Angel ♪ by Diego Sandrin Kevin: I wasn't even there. === Kevin: Yeah, the, uh, the meeting's taking longer than I expected. Scotty: Kevin, this is the most important thing that's happened to me in a long time. I... I want you to be here. I think you need to be here, for us. Kevin: It's, uh, it's not gonna work out tonight. I'm sorry. I'll... I'll see you at home. Scotty: Kevin... Kevin: I'll take another. Bartender: Who's the meeting with? Kevin: What? Oh, uh... there is no meeting. Uh, that was my husband, and I lied. He's having... the most important night of his professional career, and I decided to stay here. It's not that I'm jealous or anything. It's just, I can't seem to do anything else but hate myself these days. So what does that say about me? You don't have to answer that. I already know. === Kevin: I was just stuck. I was so traumatized by what had happened, I couldn't be there for anyone... not even Scotty. Nora: You have to tell him. Kevin: Why? Nora: Because this could change everything. It's part of the problem. Kevin: Oh... mom, I get it. I was... I was... I was pathetic. What I did was heartless. But am I crazy to think his punishment didn't fit the crime? Nora: This isn't about crime or punishment or who did what to whom. This is about figuring all of it out so you can find your way back to each other. Kevin: Mom, honestly... all I want is to get back to where we were before... and just make like this never happened. Nora: Then you have to tell him. He was brave enough to take the first step and tell you the truth. Now it's your turn. Saul: Scotty, I found these glasses outside. People must have been smoking. Scotty: Uh, thanks. Y... you can go home. I'll clean up this mess. Saul: No, no, no. I wanted to talk to you anyway. Scotty, I was upset. I'm still upset. I was being loyal to my nephew. You hurt my family. But the thing is, I realized that taking sides isn't quite as simple as that, because... you see, you're my family, too. Scotty: Saul, you don't have to... Saul: Let me finish. Please. I know you don't want anyone to think that you're perfect. But to me, even with all of this stuff... you two are about as close to perfect as anything I've ever seen. Scotty: Yeah. Saul: And I guess because I was raised at a time when... when a real relationship between two men, much less marriage, seemed impossible... you and Kevin were living my dream. And when I... when I found out what happened, I just... suddenly, everything seemed less possible again. Scotty: Saul... everything is still possible. Don't let what I did make you give up hope. Saul: I won't if you won't. Did you eat yet? Scotty: No. Saul: How about I make you some ricotta fritters with a little... little bit of chestnut honey? It's the secret. Nora: All right, boys, show me your hands. Oh, Kevin. Look, you hurt yours. Kevin: Mom, it's a paper cut. Justin: Oh. Oh, God, that felt good. Kevin: I hear that. Bros over hos. At least you hit the right guy. Justin: Yeah, well, I have to admit, I didn't do it just for you. Unfortunately, when Rebecca and I broke up, it was our fault, so there was no one I could hit. Nora: Justin, you're going to find someone else. You are. Justin: All right. All right. Thank you. Kevin: Hey. Justin: Hey. Kitty: Hey. Nora: Kitty, are you all right? Kitty: Oh, it's... it's just, Jack and I broke up. Kevin: Really? Justin: I love that guy. Kevin: What happened? Kitty: Oh, you know, he wasn't that great, and nothing happened. It's just... I don't know. I guess it's just time for us to move on. Justin: That sucks. Kitty: Oh, you know, it's okay. I mean, I'm very glad I met him, but... I'm sorry, mom. I called the sitter as soon as he left so I could come over here. Kevin: I think someone needs a sundae. Kitty: Thank you. Nora: Yes, and this, too, honey. Kitty: Oh, thank you. Nora: I'm so sorry. Kitty: No. No, you know what? It's okay. This way, I don't have to go to Vietnam. Nora: Vietnam? Justin: Vietnam? Sarah: Hey! Justin: Uh-oh. Trouble. Kitty: Sarah. Nora: Sarah. Well, why are you here so late? Is everything all right? Sarh: Yeah, it's fine. It's good. It's great, actually. We just thought, um, after tonight that we should come over and give you hope. Justin: Sarah! Nora: Oh! Oh! Kitty: Kevin's in the pantry! Sarah: What? It's a car... Kitty: Kevin's in the pantry. Kevin't in the pantry. Kevin: Oh. Oh, great. So now the whole family has to come over to take pity on me? Sarah: Yeah. Uh... Yeah, how are you, Kevin? Kevin: Bad question. What's... what's going on? Sarah: Nothing. We just, um, we... we thought we'd come over for some sundae... ss. Justin: Yeah. Sundaes. Sarah: Love sundaes. Kevin: Could you stop lying? Sarah: I really don't think you want to know after... Kevin: Whatever it is, can you tell me, please? I'm serious, guys. You're all I have right now, so no more secrets. ♪ 3 Wishes ♪ by Dave Thomas Junior ♪ Listen Kevin: That is... Amazing.

Kevin: Great. Kitty: Bubbly. Bubbly! Nora: Oh, my goodness... No: Yesterday we did a lot of talking about marriage, and... I've been thinking. There's something else I'd like to say. The thing about a good marriage is, even if a terrible mistake happens, you just can't imagine your life with anyone else. That's why you commit to each other, that's why you make vows to each other... That, through the good or the bad, you just keep trying. You're fighting not only for love. You're fighting... for something bigger than either one of you. You're fighting for the family you've become. You're fighting... for the us you've become, and... that really is worth fighting for. Scotty: Hey. Kevin: Hi. Scotty: Where are you? I was worried about you. Kevin: I'm at Kitty's. I slept on the couch. Well, you know, I wouldn't call it sleeping. Scotty: More like barely achieving a semi-unconscious state? I know what you mean. Glad you had someplace to go. Kevin: Do you know what the hardest thing about this is? Whenever anything bad happens... you are the person I wanna talk to most. Scotty: Kev... do you want to come home? Kevin: No. Scotty: So what do we do now? Kevin: There's something I have to tell you.
