"The Long Surrender" (2011)

  
"Days Like This" by Over The Rhine
Olivia gives Kevin the rock she found for him
Kevin gets a phone call from Justin.

Lyrics:
Days like this
You look up at the sky above you
Days like this
You think about the ones that love you

All I wanna do is live my life honestly;
I just wanna wake up and see your face next to me
Every regret I have I will go set it free
It will be good for me

Days like this
You think about the ones who went before you
Days like this
Have you ever seen the sky such a clear blue

All I wanna do is live my life honestly
I just wanna wake up and see your face next to me
Every regret I have I will go set it free
It will be good for me

Days like this
You think about the ones who love you
Days like this
Have you ever seen the sky such a clear blue

"Dig With Me" (2010)
  
  
"Dig With Me" by Allie Moss
Kevin tells his mother that Brody might be agonizing over whether Sarah will ever know that she's his daughter
Justin & Scotty talk about the situation with Michelle until Olivia returns home
Sarah tries to convince her mother to go on the cruise.

Lyrics:
What gave me away
Was it my face
It's written on there clear as day isn't it
Well, that's one thing that's still the same

And I won't lie to you love
I'm not okay
I've already spent too much time hiding that
And that's one thing that hasn't changed

Passions I laid to rest may still have some life in them
So dig, dig with me
Let's raise this thing from the dead
And breathe some life in it
Believe with me

We always say that we know how
To make light of what's heaviest somehow
Tell me that's one thing that hasn't changed

Lean my weight, lean our weight, lean our weight
Lean our weight, lean our weight, lean our weight

Let's get our hands dirty

Sarah: Damn Kevin! You know, he clearly said he wanted to organize our wedding, and I know this thing has tabs, but you can't just hand me a ring binder and then go AWOL! Look, I still have two fittings for my dress, confirm numbers with the caterer, get programs printed, finalize, order flowers-- I mean, Kevin was supposed to do most of this.
Luc: I can help you. It's fine.
Sarah: No, you can't. You have your own tab.
Luc: Wow. Well, maybe someone else can rejuvenate with your mom.
Sarah: Who? Kitty and Seth are still in Boston, and if Kevin's gonna help anybody, it's gonna be me.
Luc: What about Justin?
Sarah: Oh, no. Justin's idea of reviving a spirit-- watching "Ghostbusters."

Scotty: Is there any way she could've gotten on another flight?
Marissa: Uh, I doubt it. We checked. I think we can safely assume she left the airport as soon as she knew you'd spotted her with the baby.
Kevin: She ran like a thief, which, of course, she is.
Marissa: Unfortunately, the law hasn't kept up with the science of these 3-party surrogate births. To us it's kidnapping, but the police treat it - as a custody issue.
Kevin: That's insane. I mean, she's not even the egg donor. She is not genetically related to that baby in any way. She lied to us about the miscarriage. She took our money. She stole our baby! Believe me, I know plenty of people in the D.A.'s office. I will find the criminal statute to charge her with.
Scotty: Are you saying that the police are giving up?
Marissa: Let's just say, it's not their top priority.
Kevin: But that's why we have you.
Marissa: And I will do everything I can, but I want you to be realistic. After three days, the odds are not with us. She could be anywhere, and if she's gone back to New York, then it gets more complicated and expensive. I'm not licensed there. I'd have to hire somebody to do the legwork for me--
Kevin: So hire someone. Just keep going.
Marissa: Okay. I, um... got a copy of the New York state birth certificate this morning, and his date of birth falls right in the correct time frame.
Scotty: His?
Marissa: Yeah. She had a boy. His name is Daniel.

Justin: (Whew. I really thought I knew) Michelle. I mean, I-I liked her. I mean, she seemed normal. I can't believe she would turn into this monster.
Kevin: Yeah, well, obviously we never really knew her. She could've been planning this from the beginning. Look, I'm sorry to unload this on you, but I can't face telling the family right now, so I need you to cover with mom and everybody until this mess blows over, which might be never.
Justin: Okay.
Kevin: Are you all right?
Justin: Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm fine. I just, um... Any time you wanna talk, I'm-- I'm here to listen.
Kevin: Thank you.
Justin: Except now. Hey, mom.
Nora: Hi. Listen, I didn't get it! Luc came in, and I panicked, so you have to go back over there.
Justin: I can't. I'm busy.
Nora: Where are you?
Justin: I'm at Kevin and Scotty's...
Kevin: I'm not here. I'm not here.
Justin: But they're not here.
Nora: Well, then what are you doing?
Justin: Um... my--my cable went out, - so I'm watching, uh, a hockey game.
Nora: Wait a minute. You're too busy watching a hockey game to help me?
Justin: Well, it's tied.
Nora: Justin, get your butt over to your sister's. I have to go to work. I will see you here later this afternoon, okay?
Justin: Fine, mom. Fine. I'll see you soon.
Kevin: I'm so sorry to make you go through this charade.
Justin: Oh, no. It's, uh, it's okay.
Kevin: What does she want?
Justin: She wanted me to go over and watch this movie with her.
Kevin: Wow. She really is lonely.
Justin: So lonely.

Scotty: Hey. Jeremy's got the lunch rush under control, thank God. I don't think I could force a smile for another second. Ohh.
Kevin: I told Justin.
Scotty: Did you make him swear not to tell your family?
Kevin: Yes, Scotty. I think he understands the gravity of the situation.
Scotty: What'd he say?
Kevin: He said he thought she should be in jail for 20 years, minimum. He also called her a monster.
Scotty: I don't believe that. She's not an evil person. Kevin, neither of us knows what it's like to carry a baby inside our bodies.
Kevin: I'm--I'm sorry. I can't listen to this. We have a son, Scotty. It says here "father unknown," which is a lie. It also says his name is Daniel, which is not the name we chose, but Michelle's father's name. Our son doesn't know we exist. What more is it gonna take until you are angry at her?
Scotty: I am angry, but it doesn't make me feel better to hate her.
Kevin: I'm sorry.
Scotty: It's okay. Look, Kevin, we've gotta pull it together before Olivia gets home.
Kevin: I know. I know. I forgot to tell you, she texted me a couple of minutes ago.
Scotty: Really? I didn't get one from her.
Kevin: Well, check your phone. I'm sure she's written something to you, too. "Saw a baby deer"-- three exclamation points. "Paige 'n' I 'r' 'n' the same tent."
Scotty: I miss her.
Kevin: So do I. Bet she's having a great time.
Scotty: Yeah.
Kevin: What did she say?
Scotty: Uh, it's-- it's not from her. It's, uh, Jeremy. He needs me back downstairs.
Kevin: Well, don't worry. I'm sure she's writing you a long text - about skunks or something.
Scotty: Yeah, I'll, um, I'll s-- I'll send her something from downstairs.

Saul: Kevin? Where's Scotty?
Kevin: I don't know. What do you need?
Saul: Nothing. I don't need anything. I just stopped by to gather up some snacks to bring over there. The rehearsal.
Kevin: Oh, my God.
Saul: You forgot?
Kevin: Yeah. Completely.
Saul: Well, it's okay. Don't worry. I'll wait for you. Come on.
Kevin: Uh, y--uh, you know what? Saul, I'm so sorry. Um, Scotty and I-- we've got a lot going on right now. I don't-- I don't think we can do it.
Saul: The rehearsal or the whole thing?
Kevin: I'm sorry.
Saul: Both of you? Kevin, what is more important than your sister?
Kevin: Saul, I don't know.
Saul: Okay. You--you--you need to tell me what is going on with you.
Kevin: I... I'm just tired.
Saul: And that's it? That's all you're gonna tell me, that you're "just tired"?
Kevin: But it's--it's the truth.
Saul: I-- okay, I give up. I give up. Nora won't talk to me about Brody, I try to help Luc and Sarah, and they don't want to hear any of it, and you look like the world is coming to an end, and you tell me that all you need is a nap. Okay.
Kevin: Saul, can you please--
Saul: N-no. You know what? You take care of your business. I'll take care of mine.

Michelle: I'm so sorry, Scotty.
Scotty: You didn't bring Daniel.
Michelle: How do you know his name? Please, Scotty, tell me that you did not call the police.
Scotty: Michelle, did you honestly think we wouldn't try to find you?
Michelle: That's why I called you. I know that what I did was wrong, but I thought if you and I could talk, we could figure out a solution without getting the police involved, but, Scotty, I can't bring Daniel unless I know that I can trust you.
Scotty: That's pretty presumptuous of you, lecturing me about trust.
Michelle: I'm so sorry, Scotty.
Scotty: Michelle, I-I believe that you're sorry, but... you have to let us see him.
Michelle: I can't. I'm afraid you'll have me arrested.
Scotty: We won't. I promise.
Michelle: Scotty, I swear, if you try to take him away, I will disappear again. I am his mother, and he needs me.
Scotty: Okay, Michelle, don't run away, okay? We can work something out. We care about both you and Daniel, and we forgive you.
Michelle: You really think that Kevin will understand?
Scotty: Of course. We want what's best for Daniel. That's what you want, isn't it?
Michelle: I don't have to keep looking over my shoulder anymore?
Scotty: No. You're safe.

Kevin: Oh, uh, no. There's no news. I just-- I could use some company this morning. That's all.
Justin: Actually, bro, I'm so sorry. I can't. I'm running this stupid errand for mom, and it's... it's kinda time-sensitive, but, look, I'm here if you want to talk.
Kevin: Oh, hang on. That's Scotty's phone.
Justin: You need to get it?
Kevin: Yeah, it might be Olivia calling from big bear.
Justin: All right, listen, we'll set something up for later. I'll call you when I'm done with mom.
Kevin: Okay. Bye. Hello.
Michelle: Hi. It's Michelle. Scotty?
Kevin: Uh, no, this is Kevin.
Michelle: Um... Kevin, I-I'm sorry. I-I told, um, Scotty I was gonna call him today.
Kevin: Well, Scotty isn't here right now, so, um, what did-- what did you want to talk about?
Michelle: Maybe I should call back.
Kevin: No. No, because whatever it is you-- you wanted to say, you can say to me. Where are you?
Michelle: I-I can't tell you that. That is not part of the deal that I made with Scotty.
Kevin: You made a deal with Scotty? Would you like to tell me what that was?
Michelle: I thought he told you.
Kevin: No, he didn't, so why don't you tell me, Michelle?
Michelle: Scotty and I decided to do what's best for Daniel. I-I'm his mother, so I need to stay involved.
Kevin: No, you're not, Michelle. You're our son's gestational surrogate. You're not even genetically related... So there's no deal that will allow you to keep our baby.
Michelle: Scotty swore to me that you understood.
Kevin: No, what I understand is, that is my baby crying, so why don't you tell me where you are before you get into more trouble than you're already in, Michelle?!
Scotty: Kevin, don't.
Kevin: No. Scotty! Scotty! Scotty!
Scotty: Michelle? Michelle? Michelle? Mich-- What is wrong with you? I was setting up a meeting. I was going to get him back.
Kevin: Apparently you've already had a meeting! Why didn't you tell me you were negotiating with her?!
Scotty: Because she called me!
Kevin: Scotty, he is my son, too! Why didn't you tell me?!
Scotty: Because I knew you would screw it up, like you just did! I thought if I showed her a little understanding, she would bring him back safely. Now we may never find him!
Kevin: You are absolutely right! Absolutely! So good luck living with that!

Justin: Are you sure you want to open that?
Nora: Yes. I want to get it over with.
Justin: Oh, no.
Nora: Positive. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Justin: Wait. Wh-wh-- what are you gonna do? I mean, how-- how do you even handle this?
Nora: I don't know. Is there ever a good time to tell your daughter something like this? But certainly it's not now, not right before her wedding.
Justin: What--what the hell are you talking about, mom? You can't keep something like this from Sarah.
Nora: Yes, I can. Justin. I can.
Justin: Well, count me out. Count me out, mom. I've told you this before. There is no way you can expect me to lie to Sarah's face like this.
Nora: Justin, please. Don't go all wobbly on me now. This is not exactly an easy piece of information for me to digest, so if I can, you can. I mean, what am I gonna say to Sarah, "guess what, honey? Surprise!"
Justin: Surprise? You want a surprise, mom? Sarah's about to take you on a Mexican cruise so you can spend 24 hours a day talking about how much nasty old Brody broke your heart.
Nora: What?
Justin: Yeah, so how are you gonna look Sarah in the face for three days, mom, and not tell her the truth?
Nora: When did you know about this cruise?
Justin: Mom, it doesn't matter when I knew about this!
Nora: You should have told me. You don't tell me anything!
Justin: Mom, you're missing the whole point of this!
Kevin: Sorry, mom. I didn't know you were here.
Nora: Kevin, are you all right? What's wrong?
Kevin: I'm fine.
Nora: Justin.
Justin: What, mom? I didn't tell him anything!
Nora: Shh!
Justin: I haven't told anybody any-- you know, listen, I'm sick of this! Kevin, you need to tell mom what's going on. Mom, you need to tell Kevin about Sarah. Everybody in this family needs to start telling each other the truth!
Nora: Not now!
Justin: Yes, mom, now! Right now! Kevin, mom and I did a D.N.A. test behind Sarah's back, and mom doesn't want to tell her that Brody's her father. And, mom, Michelle lied. She did not have a miscarriage. Kevin has a son, and you have a grandson.
Kevin: Shh
Justin: Nobody knows where he is. People need to talk! Why don't you two start?


Nora: Remind me to never get really emotional news at Justin's house ever again.
Kevin: Yeah, the strongest thing he's got back there is white wine vinegar.
Nora: Wanna try a little of that?
Kevin: Sure. I'm in. Poor Sarah.
Nora: Poor you. Poor Scotty.
Kevin: Sarah gained a father. We lost a son.
Nora: Don't say that. There's always hope.
Kevin: Oh, mom, I've been through this. I'm scared to hope.
Nora: Well, then I'll hope for you.
Kevin: At least there's one bright spot in all this.
Nora: What?
Kevin: Well, it seems Brody really does love you.
Nora: Yeah, like I could take any great pleasure in that right now.
Kevin: Why not? Maybe you could pick up where you left off.
Nora: I don't even know what to think.
Kevin: But you are gonna contact him and tell him about Sarah, aren't you?
Nora: I don't know.
Kevin: Mom, I've just spent the last three nights lying awake agonizing over the fact that my son might never know who I am or that I'm his father. Maybe Brody feels the same way.

Justin: Come on. Don't worry. He'll be home soon.
Scotty: Oh, yeah. No, I'm sure you're right. Was he yelling when you saw him? I know he's in good shape, but I-I worry about his blood pressure.
Justin: He was not yelling. He did look sad...
Scotty: Oh.
Justin: And so do you, so, Scotty, this is your lucky day, because I just off-loaded most of my worry quota, so I'm 100% available to listen.
Scotty: Okay, this is the second time we've lost this baby. And he's our son. We can't give up on him, but we can't-- we can't keep putting ourselves through this.
Olivia: Honey, I'm home.
Scotty: Where did you learn that? Ohh! I have been waiting for you all day.
Olivia: Hi, Uncle Justin.
Justin: What's up, dudette? Ohh.
Scotty: Come here. I want to hear all about your trip.
Justin: What do you got there?
Olivia: Paige said if you give someone a rock from wherever you go that it's kinda like the person was there with you
Scotty: That is so sweet. Thank you. Mwah.
Olivia: Let's go give Kevin his.
Scotty: Uh, he's not home, honey.
Justin: Um, let me see that. This is, uh, this is the one you're gonna give Kevin?
Olivia: Yeah.
Justin: Well, this is perfect. You know why?
Olivia: Why?
Justin: Because this looks just like the shape of his head.
Scotty & Olivia: Hhhhh
Justin: Shh. Don't tell him.

Sarah: You've gotta love a family whose response to a paternity crisis and a kidnapping is food and wine.
Luc: Thank you.
Nora: Well, we have to keep our strength up.
Saul: Yes, and your chicken is the ultimate comfort food, honey.
Sarah: Mm-hmm.
Nora: Yeah, well, I think maybe this time - we're asking too much of this poor little chicken.
Sarah: No. Never.
Kevin: Scotty sends his love.
Sarah: Ohh.
Nora: Are you guys okay?
Kevin: Yeah, we'll get there, but, uh, more importantly, Olivia's back from big bear, so I think I'm gonna take off.
Nora: I want you to take some of these cookies to her.
Luc: Oh. Should we call Justin and ask him if he wants to have dinner?
Sarah: Yeah.
Nora: No, I think we should just leave him alone. I think he's had quite enough family fun for the time being.
Sarah: Good. More chicken for me.
Saul: Oh, I can't believe that you still have an appetite.
Sarah: I know. Dad always used to say that he and I could just eat our way through anything. Oh, come on. Please don't go weird on me. I'm still gonna talk about dad. Nothing's changed. It's-- it's just some new information on a piece of paper. It's like when mom made the gravy from the cornstarch instead of the flour. The ingredients change, but it's still gravy, okay? You're still my family. Luc and I are still getting married. William is still my father, and Brody is still some guy I knew for a while.
Luc: So you don't want to explore your relationship with him?
Sarah: No. No. I-I had a dad. I had a great dad, and if I ever need another one, I've got a pretty good stand-in right here.
Saul: Really? Even though I sometimes overstep my boundaries?
Sarah: Oh, come on. I love that you worry about me.
Saul: Thanks, angel.
Sarah: The way I see it, Brody lied to mom the day I was born. He made it crystal clear that he didn't want either of us in his life-- not then and not now. And you know what, Brody? The feeling is mutual.

Scotty: Wow. Another masterpiece.
Olivia: Now it'll be like I'm sleeping by the campfire, but in my bed.
Scotty: Okay, well, it is bedtime, little camper.
Olivia: Kevin!
Kevin: Aah!
Olivia: You missed me so much.
Kevin: I know I did! Mwah.
Olivia: Oh. I got you this rock. I know it doesn't sound like a good present, but really it is.
Kevin: I will love this forever and call it Herman.
Olivia: Herman? That's a weird name. Oh, you know what else is weird?
Kevin: What?
Olivia: Sometimes when the wind would blow the campfire smoke where we were sitting...
Kevin: Yeah.
Olivia: Cooper said if you close your eyes and say, "I love rabbits. I love rabbits," then the smoke would blow the other way. I didn't believe it, but it worked.
Kevin: What?!
Scotty: That's crazy.
Kevin: Ooh. Speaking of crazy, it's your Uncle Justin.
Olivia: He said your head looks like a rock.
Kevin: Did you say my head looks like a rock? You're where?
Olivia: Can I draw one more picture before bed?
Kevin: All right. Just tell me. What did mom say now?
Justin: She came to the house and put him in my arms and left.
Kevin: Oh, my God.
Scotty: Kevin?
Kevin: She just left him with Justin.
Scotty: Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

Brody: Okay, this is the hard... this is the hardest one of all. Yeah. He's a British soccer player. He just played in L.A.
Nora: David Beckham.
Brody: Yeah!
Kevin: How do you even know that, mom?
Nora: Well, you don't have to be a soccer fan or gay to know who David Beckham is.
Brody: Okay, okay, this guy is a painter.
Nora: A painter.
Brody: He's American and he made weird movies, too. H... he painted soup cans.
Nora: Andy Warhol.
Brody: Nice! Okay. Uh, ooh. Um... mm.
Justin: Well, if... if you don't know his name, you can use somebody else who has the same first name.
Kevin: Stop helping them. They're killing us.
Brody: I know who it is. That's not the problem. This...
Kevin: Ten... Nine...
Brody: He's a singer.
Kevin: Eight...
Brody: He's got a really crazy name.
Kevin: Seven...
Nora: Englebert Humperdinck!
Brody & Nora: Yeah!
Nora: I don't know how I knew it.
Brody: Oh, you pronounced it right, too.
Kevin: All right, next time we're splitting you up. Couples can't play together.
Nora: You know what? We're winning because we're good, not because we're a couple, and we're not a couple anyway.
Brody: I think it's safe to say we're dating, Nora.
Nora: You know what? It's not safe to say anything around these guys. They'll misrepresent it and misconstrue it and then use it against you later.
Kevin: You're worried about us? What about the neighbors? You've had a large winnebago parked in your driveway for...
Nora: Kevin.
Brody: You want me to...
Justin: Ooh. Hey.
Brody: You want me to park it down the block? That's a long walk home every night, Kevin.
Kevin: You don't let him stay over, mom?
Nora: Would you... my God, this is none of your business. And, no, not even a nap.
Justin: Well, what the hell are you guys waiting for? I mean, you've already been there and done that.
Brody: Hold it there, tiger.
Nora: Justin.
Justin: Well, I-I meant with each other, or Sarah wouldn't have thought that he might be her father, for God sakes.
Nora: All right. That's it. Game's over. Thank you so much for coming.
Brody: I think I'll get another beer.
Nora: What is your problem? What's the matter with you? You're making both of us very uncomfortable.
Kevin: Mom, relax. It's okay. He's... he's clearly in love with you.
Nora: Would you stop? My God. It's none of your b... How do you know he's in love with me?
Kevin: Oh, come on.
Justin: Ma, he's clearly in love with you.
Nora: You know what? I am furious with your husband for taking Olivia off to get ice cream. I made a cake. All the kids love my cake.
Kevin: You didn't make a cake. You made a viennese dobos torte. The name alone scared her off, - and stop changing the subject.
Nora: All right. All right. All right. I like him... quite a lot.
Justin: Ooh.
Nora: Shh. Oh, Justin, grow up. If you two would just please back off... who knows where this might go.
Kevin: Consider us backed off.
Justin: So backing.

Olivia: I think grandma was mad when we left.
Scotty: Mm, I don't think so. And even if she was, it is worth it... because this ice cream is awesome.
Olivia: Don't tell her that I ordered cake batter.
Scotty: You know, this chocolate-peanut butter is pretty good, too.
Olivia: Wanna switch?
Scotty: Totes. Michelle?
Michelle: Scotty.
Scotty: Oh, my God. What are you doing here? I can't believe it.
Michelle: Uh, I... I was just in town for a few days.
Scotty: Why didn't you call?
Michelle: I was visiting my mom, d d I-I'm only here for a few days, so I didn't really have time to.
Scotty: Is everything okay?
Michelle: Yeah. You know how moms are. They don't see you for a while, they... they freak out. I... I wish I could talk, but I really... I actu...
Olivia: Hi, I'm Olivia.
Scotty: Oh, I'm... I'm sorry. This is, um, this is our daughter Olivia.
Michelle: Your daughter?
Scotty: Yeah.
Michelle: I didn't know you guys...
Olivia: They adopted me.
Scotty: You know, I've known Michelle since I was about your age.
Michelle: Scotty, I've gotta go.
Scotty: You know, Olivia, I just remembered, Kevin asked for us to get him a pint of mint chocolate chip. Would you get us one to go?
Olivia: Sure. You guys want to talk. I get it.
Scotty: Thank you.
Michelle: Scotty, listen, I know that you want to talk and everything, but I... I can't do th...
Scotty: Michelle, seriously, where have you been? It's like you dropped off the face of the planet.
Michelle: It's New York. It's... it's intense.
Scotty: Michelle, we don't blame you in any way for what happened. We knew that when you offered to be our surrogate that... that miscarriages happen.
Michelle: I don't want to talk about this.
Scotty: There's nothing you could've done differently. So you're still in New York?
Michelle: For now.
Scotty: And you're staying with your mom out here?
Michelle: Uh, no.
Scotty: Listen, what are you doing tonight? I would love for you...
Michelle: I... I can't do this, Scotty. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Scotty: Michelle...
Michelle: I'm just... I'm not... I'm not doing well right now.
Scotty: Mich... Michelle.
Michelle: I'm sorry, Scotty.

Kevin: What do you mean, she seemed off?
Scotty: She just wasn't the same Michelle I know.
Kevin: Well, I'm not surprised. What did you expect? She moved across the country. She made it perfectly clear, she didn't want to see us.
Scotty: I know, but she's my friend. Maybe... maybe I should've tried harder to repair things.
Kevin: How? She changed her cell phone number. She didn't even give you an address, okay? She cut us out, Scotty.
Scotty: She couldn't even look me in the eye. You know, this one time in High School, she disappeared after a really bad breakup. But she called me so that everyone would know that s she was all right.
Kevin: Well, I thought you said she was only gone for a week.
Scotty: Yeah. She came back to drama class like nothing happened. Then they made her go see a shrink.
Kevin: What are you trying to say?
Scotty: Maybe the miscarriage set something off in her.
Kevin: No. No, no, no. I think you're making too much outta this.
Scotty: Maybe. But it's hard to see her in pain like this. I want to help her. She wasn't just our surrogate, Kevin.
Kevin: I don't think she wants your help, Scotty. Michelle doesn't want to go back there now. I know I don't.
Scotty: Olivia.
Kevin: Hey, sweetheart. What's going on?
Scotty: Are you excited about the zoo? When's Mrs. Turner coming to get ya?
Olivia: Now.
Kevin: Olivia, about what you just heard... Um...
Olivia: That's them. I'm gonna go get my jacket.
Scotty: How long was she standing there?
Kevin: Long enough to wonder if she was second choice. Damn it.

Kevin: So what animals did you see?
Olivia: A zebra, lions... stuff that you see at the zoo.
Scotty: Uh, listen, Olivia, about what you heard earlier today...
Olivia: You tried to have a baby with Michelle, didn't you?
Kevin: She was trying to help us, yes.
Olivia: How?
Scotty: Well, it's not like either of us... Oh, boy. Um...
Olivia: What's a surrogate?
Kevin: Uh, it's actually the woman who carries the baby to term, but ours wasn't born.
Olivia: Is that why Michelle doesn't want to see you, because you're still sad?
Scotty: Well... I mean, we were, yes, but then we found you. Do you understand?
Olivia: Yeah.
Scotty: Yeah.
Kevin: Good, because we want you to be okay.
Olivia: I am. Can I please wear my new leggings to Luc's show?
Scotty: Of course.
Kevin: Sounds very chic.
Olivia: Cool. I'll go get dressed.
Kevin: Great.
Scotty: Think she's okay?
Kevin: I don't know.
Scotty: We're only supposed to say as much as they ask, right?
Kevin: It'll be good for her to go to the show, spend some time with us.
Scotty: Um, I'm gonna have to meet you there.
Kevin: Why?
Scotty: Well, I've been calling friends trying to find Michelle all day, and nobody has heard from her since she left for New York.
Kevin: Okay, that is weird.
Scotty: And then a friend said she saw her at the W Hotel. I called over to the hotel, she didn't pick up the phone, so...
Kevin: Scotty, I think we have enough on our hands without this.
Scotty: What if something's really wrong with her? She was my best friend.
Kevin: Well, what am I supposed to tell Olivia when she asks where you're going?
Scotty: Tell her the truth.

Sarah: I think he's really mad at me.
Kevin: Well, if you cleaned my office, I'd kill you.
Sarah: Why? You can clean my office anytime, right, Olivia? I thought I was doing him a favor. Now I can't even get five minutes to talk to him about it.
Kevin: Well, look at him. He's famous now.
Olivia: Like a Jonas brother.
Kevin: Yeah.
Sarah: Which one?
Kevin & Olivia: Joe.
Sarah: Ah.
Olivia: When's Scotty getting here? He's gonna miss the show.
Kevin: He'll be here. Don't worry.
Sarah: Where is Scotty?
Olivia: He doesn't want to talk about it in front of me.
Kevin: That's not true. I told you. He's gone to see Michelle.
Olivia: Their surrogate.
Kevin: He ran into her. It's no big deal.
Olivia: Then why is he going to see her?
Kevin: Um... I don't know.
Scotty: Hey.
Sarah: Oh.
Scotty: I love your leggings.
Kevin: Everything okay?
Scotty: Uh, she checked out.
Kevin: We should probably...
Scotty: Right.
Kevin: Yeah.
Scotty: Hey, do you want to look at some art?
Olivia: See what I mean? They don't want to talk about it in front of me.
Sarah: Got it.
Kevin: Come on. Come on.

Kevin: Are you okay?
Scotty: Oh, I don't know. It's like she's running away from her whole life.
Kevin: Yeah.
Olivia: Are you guys still talking about Michelle?
Scotty: Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie.
Kevin: You know what? You want to get one of those bottled root beers?
Olivia: No, I want you to tell me why you went to go see Michelle.
Scotty: I just wanted to talk to her.
Kevin: Yeah.
Olivia: Are you guys gonna have another baby with her?
Scotty: No, no.
Kevin: Is that what you think?
Olivia: I don't know.
Kevin: Liv...
Scotty: Okay, you're right. I have to let this thing with Michelle go.
Kevin: I'm sorry.

Olivia: I can't sleep.
Scotty: What's wrong, sweetie?
Kevin: Come here.
Olivia: Can I ask you guys one more question?
Scotty: Of course. You can ask us any question you want.
Olivia: When you decided to adopt, were you trying to adopt a baby?
Kevin: No. We wanted a family. And when we met you at the fair that day, we realized, we'd found one.
Olivia: So you don't wish that I was younger when you met me?
Kevin: No.
Scotty: Olivia, you're perfect. The three of us... this is our family.
Kevin: Yeah.
Olivia: Is that why Michelle's mad at you, because you don't want to try and have another baby with her?
Scotty: Michelle's going through a hard time right now. That... that's all.
Kevin: Yeah.
Olivia: And she doesn't want to talk?
Kevin: Not right now.
Olivia: She's your friend. You shouldn't give up on her. I can be a pain sometimes, and you guys never give up on me.
Scotty: I'll tell you what... we will promise not to give up on Michelle if you promise not to worry anymore.
Olivia: Deal.
Scotty: Deal?
Kevin: Deal?
Scotty: Deal.
Kevin: Deal? Deal?
Scotty: Deal. Deal.

Scotty: Kevin.
Kevin: What?
Scotty: She's right.
Kevin: Who?
Scotty: Olivia. We can't give up. We have to find Michelle and try to help her.
Kevin: How?
Scotty: When I went to the hotel, the clerk said she ordered a car service. She had to cancel it when she checked out.
Keviny: So what are you saying?
Scotty: Well, it's 6:00 A.M., which means wherever she is, she's getting ready to leave for L.A.X., terminal 3. That's what the clerk said.
Kevin: What about Olivia?
Scotty: Saul gets here in 15 minutes to make his hollandaise sauce.
Kevin: My head's about to explode. Let's go.

Scotty: Anything?
Kevin: I've circled every self check-in kiosk twice. I'm pretty sure the T.S.A.'s about ready to strip-search me.
Scotty: Well, I guess she could've taken a flight last night.
Kevin: Yeah. We always knew it was a long shot.
Scotty: Should we go home?
Kevin: Okay. But first, I'm starving. You want to buy me an overpriced pretzel?
Kevin: Of course.
Scotty: Thanks.

Kevin: I'm gonna have to spin for three hours to get rid of this. What?
Scotty: That's her.
Kevin: What?
Scotty: Michelle! Michelle!
Kevin: Oh, my God.
Scotty: Michelle!
Kevin: Michelle! Excuse us.
Scotty: Michelle!
Clerk: I need your ticket and I.D., sir.
Kevin: Uh, we have to get to our friend.
Clerk: Only ticketed passengers.
Scotty: No, you don't understand. That could be our baby.
Scotty: Michelle!
Kevin: Michelle!
Scotty: Michelle!
Kevin: Michelle!
Scotty: Michelle!
Kevin: Michelle!

Season 5 Episode 18

Never Say Never
First Aired: 10/Apr/2011
<< S5E17S5E19 >>
Kevin: Sarah, quick question. How long do you think it'll be until the auto industry introduces a flying car?
Sarah: Kevin, I do not have time to listen to you have a psychotic episode this morning.
Kevin: Now that we officially have custody of Olivia, I'm perfectly healthy, thank you. I've just been reading the "30 things to do by 30" list that Justin wrote when he was 15, and number four... "have sex in a flying car."
Sarah: I can't believe our little brother is turning 30.
Kevin: Yeah, I don't think he can either. I'm at his place right now hoping this list will help. You know he canceled his trip to Mammoth with Dan and his friends?
Sarah: I'm sure the ski bunnies in hot tubs will be devastated.
Kevin: Yeah, I know, but we can't let Justin blow off his 30th birthday.
Luc: Justin is blowing off his birthday?
Sarah: Mm-hmm.
Kevin: Oh, hey, Luc. Yeah.
Sarah: I feel so old. I-I can barely remember my 30th.
Kevin: You don't remember your 30th 'cause you were ripping Tequila shots and then you threw up on Joe.
Sarah: Okay, Kevin, it was my last hurrah before babies and breast-feeding.
Kevin: Number 14... "jump into the chocolate river at Hershey Park." I'm guessing somebody wasn't sober when he wrote that.
Sarah: I'm gonna call mom. She'll know what to do. Hold on.
Nora: What?
Sarah: Wow. You sound like you're in a good mood, mom.
Nora: I'm in a fine mood. What do you want?
Sarah: Justin canceled his ski trip, and we've been left holding the birthday bag. Any ideas?
Nora: I don't know. How about a dinner at my house?
Kevin: What, another dinner party? Come on, mom. Start thinking outside the wine box.
Nora: And hello to you, too, Kevin. Since when is dinner at my house not good enough?
Luc: What about a dance party?
Kevin: Oh, yeah. Perfect. Scotty could shut the restaurant, and we can get a deejay.
Luc: Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What about a disco ball? You must get a disco ball.
Sarah: You're out of control.
Nora: Stop right there. Justin hates dancing. Look, honestly, I-I'll just do a fabulous dinner at my house.
Brody: Where are the towels?
Sarah: Is somebody there?
Nora: No.
Brody: Never mind. I found 'em.
Kevin: Is Brody back?
Nora: Yes.
Sarah: How long's he staying?
Nora: Oh, I don't know. Not long.
Sarah: That's it? You're just another doggy day care to him?
Nora: That and a laundromat.
Sarah: Oh, please, tell me you're not doing his...
Nora: Not doing his what, Sarah, his laundry? Don't be silly. Why would I do his laundry?
Kevin: I gotta go. Bye.
Justin: Kevin.
Kevin: Hey.
Justin: Hey. Who were you just talking to?
Kevin: No one. We were just planning your birthday party.
Justin: No. I told you, I don't want a birthday party. That's why I canceled the ski trip.
Kevin: Oh, come on. You're just saying that now.
Justin: No, I'm not just saying that. All right? Turning 30 is gonna suck. And you know what? Kitty skipped her 40th, so I'm skipping this one.
Kevin: Look, 30 freaks everyone out. I developed a crippling self-tanning obsession just to cope with mine. It was a sad orange time.
Justin: Look, I'm sure it was really sad. But you know what? I just worked a night shift, and I'm going to bed. And please don't break in to my home. It's creepy.
Kevin: Wait. Look, I have coffee and something I think will make you very happy.
Justin: What are you talking about?
Kevin: Ta-da.
Justin: Oh, my God. I gave this to you?
Kevin: Isn't it amazing? We're gonna do every item on this list.
Justin: You know someone with a flying car?
Kevin: Every item that doesn't require time travel.
Justin: "Tell mom what I really think of her"?
Kevin: Oh, yeah, remember? She confiscated your discman.
Justin: Oh, yeah. Wait. Why... You're doing this with me because?
Kevin: Because you're my brother and I love you.
Justin: You're lying to my face.
Kevin: Okay. Scotty's mom is coming to stay.
Justin: Oh.
Kevin: And I have to be around her as little as humanly possible. So what about... a little "street fighter", old-school style?
Justin: Wait. That's on the list?
Kevin: Yeah. "Beat 'street fighter' in one session." You in?
Justin: Uh, yes. Let's do it.

Jonathan: I have a proposition.
Saul: No, I am not taking ballroom classes with you, Jonathan. I had a horrendously humiliating experience with the waltz in junior high, so... Speaking of junior high. It's my mother. Mom, I'll talk to you later.
Jonathan: I swear, I will never make you dance in public. This is about a house.
Saul: A house?
Jonathan: Now don't worry, Saul. I'm not asking you to move in with me. I'm buying a house in Palm Springs. It's beautiful, mid-century, great views. It needs a lot of work, but, um...
Saul: So you want to restore a house in Palm Springs?
Jonathan: Yeah. I thought we could do it together. You know, go there on weekends whenever you want, uh, holidays. You could even invite your family.
Saul: You know what? Things are going along so well here with us. I-I just... I just don't want to tempt fate. You know, like my mother used to say, "kein ayin hara." Beware the envious evil eye.
Scotty: Well, if you're worried about the evil eye, I'm giving you guys fair warning. My mother's coming in a matter of hours.
Saul: Well, maybe I have to call Ida back so the two of them can entertain each other.
Scotty: How about that? She called this morning and said she's "popping by" from Arizona.
Jonathan: You seem a little, uh, anxious.
Scotty: Oh, no, this isn't anxiety. It's dread. There's a big difference. She's meeting Olivia for the first time.
Saul: And where's Kevin?
Scotty: Hiding.
Saul: What's with the tablecloth?
Scotty: Oh, well, last time she was here, she said our dining room table was too modern. I didn't want to spend the next couple of days discussing it. Not that we ever discuss anything. I open my mouth to say something, and she goes completely deaf.
Jonathan: Well, just don't take the bait.
Scotty: You know, I used to think it was all about me being gay, but I realized, she doesn't approve of anything I've done, ever. I can't wait to hear what she has to say about my parenting.
Saul: All right, wait a minute. So she's judgmental. What's the big deal? If you had grown up with my mother, you would've learned very quickly that the only way to survive is to be proud of who you are.
Scotty: That's easier said than done, Saul. You still haven't told your mother you're gay.
Jonathan: Your mother doesn't know you're gay?
Saul: Yeah, well... Why would I tell her something like that?
Jonathan: Because that's who you are.
Saul: No, it's nothing like that. Anyway, it's too late now. She's just... she's not all there.
Jonathan: Well, neither are you... If you're carrying around a secret like that.

Brody: Oh, thanks. That shower felt good.
Nora: Well, you clean up nicely. Hopefully your clothes will do the same. What do you do, play in the dirt?
Brody: Actually, I do. That's my job.
Nora: Oh.
Brody: Whatcha doin'?
Nora: Well, I-I'm planning a 30th birthday for Justin, and then Sarah is getting married, so...
Brody: How about dinner and a movie? It's the least I can do after you took care of...
Nora: Oh. It's my mother. I was supposed to visit her and I didn't.
Brody: That's Ida? Don't tell her I'm here. She always hated me.
Nora: I know. Hi, mom. Oh. I see. Could I call you back? No, I just need to call you back. Good. Thank you. Bye.
Brody: Is everything all right?
Nora: She died... This morning.
Brody: She died?
Nora: My mother died. I guess I have to plan a funeral now, too.

Kevin: This is delicious. You should definitely go with the lemon.
Luc: I don't know, Kevin.
Kevin: Wait. Is that marzipan?
Luc: Yeah.
Sarah: Oh, good. You're all here.
Justin: Yeah, we, uh, we came as soon as we heard.
Sarah: Okay, this won't take long. I gotta get back for a conference call.
Luc: You okay?
Sarah: Yeah... Oh, my God. Please tell me that's dead.
Kevin: No, it's synthetic. Feel the feathers... unbelievable.
Luc: Yeah, it's an inspirational piece. We will have live ones at the wedding.
Sarah: You're kidding.
Luc: Okay, Benoit got a little carried away.
Sarah: You think?
Luc: Bad timing.
Sarah: Kevin, what are you eating?
Kevin: Cake samples. This one's marzipan.
Sarah: Would you please stop? I doubt that's appropriate at this time.
Kevin: What? I'm drowning my grief.
Sarah: In what, icing?
Justin: Okay, guys. Can we please talk about this? How's, uh, how's mom?
Sarah: I can't really tell. I mean, she's thrown herself into organizing the funeral.
Kevin: Don't worry. It won't be on your birthday.
Justin: Uh, I wasn't worried, Kevin.
Kevin: You know what? You should get mom to call Benoit. He could hook her up with this baker. What? People eat cakes at funerals.
Sarah: Okay, listen, we've got some things to discuss and to decide. Firstly, Tommy and Kitty won't be making the funeral.
Kevin & Justin: What?
Kevin: How did they get out of it?
Sarah: Uh, Kitty's in Boston with Seth.
Kevin: That's lame.
Sarah: Agreed. And Tommy can't get leave from his new job.
Justin: Well, that... that's not right.
Sarah: It is what it is. Anyway, mom would like the rest of us to say something at the service.
Kevin: No way.
Justin: Are you kidding me?
Kevin: No, Justin. I'm not kidding you, okay? Ida hated me. In fact, she went out of her way to tell me what a disappointment I was.
Justin: Kevin, stop it, all right? She was our grandmother and she died. Show some respect.
Luc: Justin is right. You guys have to put your differences aside now.
Kevin: You know what? She didn't.
Sarah: Okay, listen, whoever wants to say something, say something. If you don't, please explain to mom yourself.
Kevin: Fine.
Sarah: All right, next... Somebody's gonna have to go to the nursing home and clean out Ida's stuff. I'm sorry. I do not have time in the next...
Justin: I'll do it.
Sarah: Thank you.
Luc: Justin, you want me to come with you?
Justin: Yeah, sure. That'd be great.
Sarah: Okay, good. That's it. I gotta get back. Um, do you think we could get Benoit to get rid of all this stuff?
Luc: Okay, Sarah, I get it. You don't want swans.
Kevin: But you should definitely go with one of these cakes. They're delicious.

Scotty: Hi, mom. Good to see you.
Bertha: Hi, honey.
Scotty: Ah.
Bertha: Oh. It is much nicer up here than I expected. I can't believe you live above the restaurant. It must get noisy. How does Olivia sleep?
Scotty: Well... well, it's a... it's a caffee. It's not a nightclub.
Bertha: I am just so grateful it hasn't closed yet. Restaurants are such notoriously bad investments.
Scotty: Actually, we've doubled our profits in the last six months.
Bertha: Well, that's good.
Scotty: Mm.
Bertha: Especially with Kevin doing the pro bono. He must have a lot of time on his hands. But that's nice. He can be the stay-at-home mom.
Scotty: Actually, it... it... it's stay-at-home dad. And, you know, second, we share the parenting, so... what... what is this?
Bertha: Oh, that's a gift for Olivia. All the Mexican kids love piñatas.
Scotty: Oh... wow. Y-you know, we just had a piñatas at Evan's birthday party. Maybe we should save this for later. We wouldn't want to spoil her.
Bertha: Oh. Well, when is she gonna be home? I have so many things planned for us to do.
Scotty: In a few hours. Look, um, I should give you a heads-up. It's a bit of a weird time right now. Kevin's grandmother just died.
Bertha: Well, thank goodness I came. You boys are gonna need all the help you can get.
Scotty: Well, actually, we're doing fine.
Bertha: Not to worry. I'm here now.
Scotty: I wasn't worried. Until now.

Brody: Who are you calling now?
Nora: Saul. I've been trying him for two hours. He doesn't pick up.
Brody: Nora, why don't you sit down for a second, okay? You've been running around like a housewife on meth.
Nora: I can't sit down. I have too many things to do.
Brody: Nora, stop. Your mom just died. It's okay to stop.
Nora: I know that.
Brody: Okay, good. So then talk to me. How are you feeling?
Nora: I feel fine.
Brody: Really?
Nora: Look, it's tragic. But it was her time. The circle of life... Oh, God. Did I just quote "The lion king"?
Brody: I don't know. I never saw it.
Saul: Nora. Nora.
Nora: Oh, this is gonna be hard.
Saul: Nora, where is he?
Saul: Hi. Hi, hi, hi.
Nora: Saul, I need to talk to you.
Saul: Brody, I can't believe I recognize you.
Nora: Saul...
Saul: I know. You were calling me...
Nora: Yes,
Saul: ... because you wanted to tell me Brody was here. He's here.
Nora: No, I need to talk to you.
Saul: Actually, Scotty's so crazy...
Nora: Saul!
Saul: What?
Nora: Saul, mother died. Mother died. 6.30 this morning, a heart attack.
Saul: No.

Bertha: Isn't this one beautiful?
Scotty: It's... ooh. It's really lacey.
Kevin: I'm... I'm just not sure if it's Olivia, though.
Bertha: Nonsense. You boys have no idea how to dress girls. They want dresses and pretty shoes. Show 'em your new shoes, honey.
Scotty: Ooh.
Kevin: Oh, w-wow.
Scotty: Okay, well, you know what? Lunch is ready. Let's eat.
Bertha: Great. Well, Liv and gamma want to sit next to each other, right, honey bunny?
Scotty: Mm.
Bertha: Oh, you know what would be so pretty? A French braid. I could teach you.
Scotty: Oh... well, maybe after lunch.
Bertha: Actually, I was thinking Olivia and I could go to Griffith Park after lunch. Maybe ride a pony?
Olivia: Um, I don't like ponies.
Bertha: Every little girl likes ponies.
Kevin: Uh, well, maybe not every little girl.
Scotty: You know what? Olivia has a lot of homework. Right, O.?
Olivia: Yeah. I have a huge math test to study for.
Kevin: Yeah, that's a... that's a big test.
Olivia: Yeah. May I please be excused from the table?
Kevin & Scotty: Of course.
Bertha: You know, I got all A's in math. Maybe I should go and help...
Kevin: Bertha, go to the movies. You know, spend time with Scotty. Enjoy your vacation.
Scotty: I think what Kevin means is... You need to stop trying so hard. You're overwhelming her.
Bertha: Well, excuse me for trying to spend time with my only grandchild, who lives a million miles away.
Scotty: That's not what I mean.
Bertha: I had to invite myself to even come and meet her. You know how that makes me feel?
Scotty: We were gonna invite you once the adoption was finalized.
Bertha: When did Nora meet her? I'm sorry. I think I've lost my appetite.
Kevin: Wow. I barely even recognize her looking like that... happy.
Justin: Well, by the time we met her, she really didn't have much to be happy about.
Kevin: No.
Justin: Here.
Kevin: Oh, come on. Seriously? We're... we're not even religious.
Justin: Grandma was, so everyone here is gonna wear one.
Kevin: I gave that letter to Saul. I think he's scared to open it. You find anything else in that room?
Justin: No, not much. Just a, uh, an old picture of grandpa.
Kevin: Grandpa Bernie? I didn't think they were exactly the perfect couple.
Justin: Well, they weren't, but she never found anyone else.
Kevin: She had plenty of time to find someone else.
Justin: You know what, Kevin? Not everyone's as lucky as you are. I mean, if you hadn't met Scotty, you'd probably still be some corporate lawyer, hooking up with a different guy every night.
Kevin: Wow. Is that what you think of me?
Justin: Look, all I'm saying is, I know what she went through. All right? When my marriage ended, it felt like my life stopped.
Kevin: You're nothing like Ida.
Justin: How do you know? I'm about to be 30 years old, and I'm a single divorceé, Kevin.
Kevin: Yeah, and look what you've achieved. You served your country three times, you beat addiction, you save lives for a living.
Justin: Kevin, I don't care what I've achieved. I'm alone, just like grandma. And she ended up in a-a sad empty room with an old photograph. Not everyone gets the life they want.

Scotty: Saul. I think they're ready to start.
Saul: Thanks, Scotty.
Scotty: What's the letter say?
Saul: I don't know.
Scotty: Well, don't you want to read it?
Saul: No, Scotty. I don't want to read it. My mother told me a while ago that she wanted to write me about... She couldn't even say it out loud. Neither of us could. So she finally gets to say... What she wanted to say... That she's ashamed of me for being gay. And I don't want to read it. Come on. Let's go inside.
Rabbi: Today, of course, is a celebration of the life of Ida Holden, beloved mother and grandmother. Her family would like to share some of their memories now. Please.
Nora: Hello, everyone. Thank you so much for coming. I'm Nora Walker. Ida Holden was my mother. My mother... My mother was... The truth is... I can accept the things that she was. It's the things... It's the things she wasn't that breaks my heart. I, uh... I can't do this. I have nothing to say. I can't do this. I can't do this.
Brody: Nora, come on. Let's go home. It's okay.
Nora: I'm sorry. I have nothing to say. I have nothing to say.

Scotty: Hi, mom. How's Olivia?
Bertha: Sleeping like an angel.
Kevin: Oh, great. Oh, thank you so much for watching her. I don't think she was quite ready for the Walker grief parade, and she never met the woman.
Bertha: Seems like there's a lot of family - you've kept away from her.
Scotty: That's enough. I told you, we just got custody. I can't listen to this. I'm going downstairs.
Bertha: Well... I think I'll probably be leaving tomorrow.
Kevin: No, you don't have to do that.
Bertha: It's pretty clear I do.
Kevin: No, you just need to learn to zip it.
Bertha: Excuse me?
Kevin: Bertha, Olivia is our child, and we're gonna make mistakes, but you have to let us make them.
Bertha: Y-you know, Scotty and I, it has never worked with us. It's like everything I say comes out wrong.
Kevin: Well, then say something else, because he wants you guys to have a good relationship as much as you do.
Bertha: When I came here, I think I felt, if I could be the perfect grandmother, somehow I could heal Scotty and me. It's idiotic, I know.
Kevin: Bertha... I buried my grandmother today. She doesn't have the chance to fix what was wrong with us, much less her own children. You still do.
Bertha: Oh.

Saul: We need another case of red.
Scotty: Oh, I'm glad to see things finally getting back to normal with the Walkers.
Kevin: Well the Irish drown their sorrows in whiskey. The Walkers prefer a full-bodied cab.
Saul: Well, it's not just our family, you know? Those old ladies out there? They're doing just fine.
Kevin: What about you, Saul? How many sheets to the wind do you need to be before you read that letter?
Saul: I don't know. At least a few.
Scotty: You know, the longer you wait, the harder it gets.
Kevin: Why don't you just rip it off, like a band-aid?
Saul: Okay. Here we go. Read it, Scotty.
Scotty: Me?
Saul: Yeah. I don't have my glasses. Just read it, please.
Scotty: Okay.
Scotty: "My dear Saul,
Scotty: "it breaks my heart to write this letter.
Scotty: "I've known since you were a young man that you've been keeping a secret."

Saul: Okay. Okay. All right. Give it to me. I'll read it. I don't need my glasses. Maybe. Okay.
Saul: "...Keeping a secret.
Saul: "But I know there was a reason.
Saul: "At first, you probably didn't even want to admit it to yourself."

Saul: Good, mom.
Saul: "And I never thought that I could be the one to ask you.
Saul: "So now I cnn only hope that you've had a beautiful life
Saul: "and someone to share it with even if you didn't share that part of it with me.
Saul: "You deserve...
Saul: "All the happiness in the world...
Saul: "My Saul.
Saul: "I trust you found it. Love... mother."

Saul: I told you I shouldn't read it.
Kevin: That was beautiful, Saul.
Saul: What was beautiful? Nothing she wanted for me happened. I have spent all of my life alone. It's funny. The only thing I was able to hide from my mother was my loneliness.
Scotty: But you're not. You're not alone. I'm sorry it's too late for you to tell her that, but it's not too late for you and Jonathan.

Justin: Hey.
Kevin: Are you coming inside?
Justin: Uh, yeah, yeah. In a... in a minute.
Kevin: Do you really think I got here because of luck?
Justin: No, I do not. And I apologize for saying that.
Kevin: Thank you, because I've worked very hard to be good enough for someone like Scotty. And you know who gave me the hope to do that?
Justin: Oh, God, Kevin. Please, please do not say me. All right? You guys do this all the time. It's insulting. It's, "Justin was such a screw-up." "Look how far he was able"...
Kevin: Okay, let me put it like this. You're right. Life isn't fair. Sometimes good people live sad lives. You're not gonna be one of them, okay? Because any kid who writes a list like this isn't gonna...
Justin: Give me that list.
Kevin: No. No.
Justin: Kevin, give me the list. It's my list.
Kevin: No, no, listen. Listen.
Justin: Kevin, it's my l... it's my list.
Kevin: I know. Listen to this. "Ride a wave on bells beach. Go streaking. Have a threesome."
Justin: Well, you can check one of those off the list.
Kevin: How big was the wave?
Justin: Not big enough.
Kevin: You're a dreamer, Justin. And you still are. Yeah, most of this list is impossible, but... You have more determination than anyone I know. And luck didn't get you here. You did. So write another list. Come on.
Justin: "Dye my hair"? What was I thinking?
Kevin: It was the '90s. Bleached blonde was in.

Nora: We did what? What?
Saul: You told him so many incredible things about her...
Nora: Oh, no, no. Well, I just... I can't believe that everyone else is gone but us.
Brody: Who? Who are you talking about?
Sarah: Oh, come on, mom. They're all pretty old. I think they had to get home to the retirement village before lockdown.
Brody: Is the wedding still on?
Luc: Oh, yes, yes.
Sarah: Oh, yeah.
Luc: It's gonna be quite a party.
Sarah: Mm-hmm. But no swans.
Luc: No, no swans.
Brody: Great.
Kevin: Oh, what are you gonna do about the cake? You going with the marzipan?
Sarah: Listen to him. Kevin, you should plan our wedding.
Kevin: I'd love to.
Sarah: Are you serious?
Kevin: Yeah.
Luc: You're on.
Kevin: Great.
Nora: You know what? I happen to know a-a florist who is available.
Sarah: Is she short?
Nora: She's short and older, but she works hard.
Justin: Wait, wait, whoa, whoa. Who's doing the bachelor party?
Kevin & Scotty: We are.
Saul: No, excuse me. We are.
Jonathan: Us?
Saul: Yeah, we are, in Palm Springs.
Jonathan: What?
Saul: Yes, we're gonna buy a house there.
Jonathan: We are?
Scotty: That would be incredible. That would be brilliant. Brody could drive you all down in his R.V.
Kevin: Oh, really?
Sarah: I mean, if... if he's around. Are you gonna be around, Brody?
Brody: I might be. That could happen. Actually, I'd like to make a toast, uh, if I could. Um, Ida never really liked me very much.
Nora: I'll say. Hey. Oh. Sorry.
Brody: She didn't think I was good enough for her daughter. She was probably right, but, uh, I have to say this... people do change. Hmm? I-I never thought I'd see the day where I'd be sitting around this family's table... a family that Ida helped create. So, uh... Come on. Here's to Ida.
All: To Ida.
Saul: Hmm. Actually, now it's my turn. Mother... Mother, I'd like you to meet the love of my life...
Jonathan: What?
Saul: Jonathan.
Sarah: Aww.
Jonathan: Sweetheart.
Nora: Oh. Never say never.
Justin: Okay, wait, wait. It's my turn. Guys, I'm turning 30...
Nora: Oh, my God!
Justin: ...in less than 45 minutes.
Nora: Your birthday!
Sarah: Oh, my God! I completely forgot.
Justin: Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. I don't want anything from anyone, but there is something that I have to do by the time it's 12:00, which is soon. My lovely brother Kevin, um, informed me that I had made a list many, many years ago of things that I wanted to accomplish by now, and... at the top of the list is, "Tell mom what I really think of her." The first thing I want to say is, I'm really pissed you took my discman.
Nora: What?
Justin: Mom... I love you. And we all do, and you did a great job today. And that's all I wanted to say.
Kevin: To mom.
Saul: To my sister.
Sarah: You're awesome.
Luc: Nora.
Brody: Hear, hear.
Nora: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. To Ida.
All: Hear, hear. To Ida.
