Kevin: Hello? Hello? Justin: Oh, you're here. Nora: Great. Robert: What's for dinner? Nora: I told you, liver. Justin: Oh, sweet. Julia: My favorite. Kevin: Guys, did you hear that? The baby? == Scotty: Hey, sleepyhead. How are you feeling? Kevin: A little hot. Scotty: Well, you look great, all shiny and mussy, like a wounded World War II soldier in a bombed-out French cathedral. Male nurse, wounded soldier. It's always kind of been a fantasy of mine. Nora: Good. He's up. Scotty: Yep, he sure is. Nora: Look at you, sweetie. My goodness. You're drenched in sweat. Honey. Let me take your temperature. Does he know where he is? Kevin: Yeah. I'm in my childhood bedroom with my mother and husband talking about me as if I weren't here. Nora: Yeah, good. It's normal. Kev. Kevin: Yeah. Nora: Here we go. Let's do this again. All right? Why are you here? Kevin: Oh, no. Please, please. Not the questions... Scotty: The doctor said with liver donors, you have to look out for mental disoriention... Kevin: Fine. I am here because I gave part of my liver to Elizabeth. Nora: Who's Elizabeth? Kevin: She's my niece. And... Well, technically, she's my daughter because I gave sperm to Tommy and Julia. Do we have to do this now? Nora: All right, all right. Okay. Scotty: Yes, seems like fine. Nora: Yes. Fine, fine, fine. But look at this. My God, Scotty. You have every blanket in the house on him. Scotty: Yeah, well, I just thought we should try and keep him as warm as pos... Nora: And now we have to change the sheets because they're soaked. But that's okay. It's fine. For goodness sakes. We have to get him hydrated. We need to get more fluids into him. Scotty: I'll get him a drink. Nora: Freeze. I'd like you to go to the linen cupboard and get a fresh set of sheets. I want the cream ones, not the striped ones. And I'll get him something to drink because I have to get his pills anyway. Scotty: Whatever works. Nora: And if you want anything, just speak out, because I put the baby monitor in last night. I can hear everything you say. French cathedral, huh? Yeah. Kitty: Didn't you hear us? We've been screaming into the monitor. Kevin wants an orange popsicle. Saul: I'm sorry, I turned it off because I couldn't stand the sound of the static. Nora: Oh, for God sakes. Saul: I'm sorry. Robert: Then who's on point in Espinoza's office? Nora: Espinoza? Kitty: Yes. He's the chair of the appropriations committee. My husband is unbelievable. Kevin: I really don't appreciate you hitting me up for intel when I'm on bed rest. Saul: What am I to do about the appointment today? Nora: Cancel it. Robert: So we have no idea what Espinoza's provisions are? Kevin: His office dodged my calls... Kitty: Hey. No, no, no. No, no more of that. Robert: No, I was just having... Kitty: I know what you were doing. The place is bugged, remember? Robert: I just need some info on this immigration bill. Kitty: Robert, please. Can you please move away from the patient? Kevin is off the clock. Robert: I'm not suggesting he suit up and come into the office, but maybe a call so I know what I'm voting on. Kitty: Look, you know what? You're... Kevin: Could I get a napkin, please? Kitty: Yeah. You're not gonna get what you need from Espinoza. You know what you should do? You should, you should call Dan Bicks. Kevin: Dan Bicks. Robert: Dan Bicks is an imbecile. Kitty: Oh yeah, he's an imbecile, but he has an assistant named Yelena who has a sister named Lauren who is dating Espinoza's legislative correspondent. I don't even know, maybe... Maybe for a year or something. You know, that is definitely what you need to do. You should call Yelena, and I bet you she can get you what you need. You know what? I'll do it. Robert: Good, because the vote's in two days, and I need to be briefed. Kitty: Okay, I'll brief you. Until he recovers, I will be Kevin. Robert: Okay. Do you have time? Because you're starting your book promotion and you're gonna be on The View. Kitty: No, I can be Kevin for a week. Robert: Good. Kevin: Hey, Kev. Do you mind? Kitty: Oh, sorry. == Kevin: Hello? Scotty: Bordeaux? Nora: No. He's not allowed to drink that. Scotty: You said he needed fluids. Nora: He's not allowed to drink that. Scotty: You told me he needed fluids. == Kevin: Ow! Scotty: Shhh! Your mother will think I'm hurting you. Kevin: You are. And don't worry. I yanked the plug on that monitor like an hour ago. Remind me why we're here and not in our nice apartment. Scotty: Because your mother offered and you accepted. Kevin: I did? Scotty: Yes. Kevin: You have to admit, she does have the Ph. D. In tending to us kids. Scotty: She won't let me forget. I bet you 20 bucks she comments on how I dress your wound. Nora: Scotty, I didn't know you were gonna change the bandage. Scotty: Hmm hm Nora: Oh, you've got so much ointment on there. Look, the tape is never gonna stick. Scotty: Well, it seems pretty secure to me. Cha-ching. Nora: You know what? It doesn't really matter, because we're gonna have to redo it all anyway after the shower. Kevin: What shower? Nora: Doctor says you get to take a shower today. Let's get him up. Kevin: I don't feel like taking a shower. Nora: Make you feel clean. Kevin: Yeah, I know what a shower is. I just don't feel like taking one. Nora: Just take his shirt off. Scotty: I'll get it, Nora. Kevin: No, no, no. Nora: Don't lift his arm up like that, Scotty. Scotty: Okay, I'm sorry. Nora: You have to put your hand... Like that. Scotty: Forgot for a second. Kevin: Please. Nora: Lift your butt up. I'll take your pants off. Lift your butt up. Lift it up. Come on. Come on. Scotty: Did you know what? Why don't you start the shower? I'll get the pants. Nora: Scotty, don't be silly. It's nothing I haven't seen before. Scotty: Well, hopefully something you haven't seen in a long time. I mean... Nora: I'll close my eyes. I'Il... Kevin: Stop, stop. Both of you. Nora: The doctor wants you to take a shower. Kevin: I don't care what the doctor said. I just want the two of you to leave me alone right now. Scotty: Okay... Kevin: Right now. Nora: Pain pills make him so grumpy. Scotty: Yeah, it's the pain pills. == Kevin: Is it hot in here? Julia: Not really. But it could be. == Kevin: Oh! Julia: Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I was just coming to see how you were doing. Were you having a bad dream about me? Kevin: No. No. No. Why? Why? Why? Julia: You said my name. Kevin: No, I didn't. What? Well, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I did, because I, I, I saw, I saw you because you, you were here. Julia: You're lying. Scotty: I heard a scream. Julia: Kevin had a bad dream. Kevin: No, I didn't. Scotty: It's still nap time. What are you doing up? Kevin: You know what? I'm gonna take that shower now. Scotty: I thought you didn't want a shower. Kevin: I didn't. Now I do. Julia: Here, let me help. Kevin: No, I'm fine. Thank you so much, both of you. I'm just gonna take a... Scotty: Are you...? You're okay? Kevin: I'll be fine. Yeah. Yeah. Don't worry about me. Hoo, I'll be fi... Nora: I have a son upstairs who needs his lunch. Scotty: I'd put a hold on that. Kevin's decided to take a shower after all. Hi, I'm Scotty. Roger: Roger Grant. Nice to meet you. Scotty: Nice to meet you. Here, I'll take that to the kitchen for you. Roger: Looks like you're available to join us. Kevin: Justin. Justin. Jus... Justin. Ju... Open the door. Justin: Does Mom know you're wandering around like an escaped mental patient? Kevin: Are you coming or going? Justin: I'm going nowhere, dude. Kevin: Good. You can give me a ride. Justin: Aren't you supposed to be in bed? Kevin: I cannot take it anymore, okay? I have to get out of here. Justin: What about your nurses up there? Kevin: They think I'm taking a shower. Let's go. Justin: That's your plan? Turn on the water and take off? Kevin: I didn't turn it on. Justin: Well, please tell me you locked the bathroom door. Oh my gosh, Kevin, this is like amateur hour. No wonder you didn't have a life in school. Kevin: Can you just shut up and drive? Justin: Kevin, I can't. You just had surgery. In good conscience, I can't... Kevin: Spare me the Hippocratic oath. If your sperm got there first, this would've been you. Let's go. Justin: Well, you have your pills, right? Kevin: Umm Justin: You don't have your... I hate you. At least I'm good for something. Kevin: Ah! == All: Ha ha ha ha ha ha. == Justin: Okay. Bathroom. I'm gonna kill him. Pills... Scotty: Hey. Justin: Hey. I was checking on our boy in there. Scotty: Yeah. Still grumpy? Justin: Yeah. He's the worst. I mean... But don't... don't take it personally. He's always been sort of a terrible patient, you know? He had chicken pox, and it was like code red in this house. I can take these. Just... Yeah, don't worry. Scotty: Are you looking for something? Justin: Yeah. Yeah. My trumpet. Here it is. Scotty: Oh, you play? Justin: No. Scotty: But you played growing up? Justin: No. You know, I wouldn't go in there. I mean, he... You know, he needs some space. He's in his mood, you know? Good to see you. Scotty: Bye. Saul: Nora, come on. Nora: Yeah, I am listening. I am listening. I'm going to go in here now. I just have to heat up my son's lunch. I will be back. For God sakes, I don't know Nora: Saul wants a boyfriend. Justin: Mom, I have something to tell you. It's gossip. I just need you to make sure Saul's not coming in here. It's about him. Nora: What? What? What? Justin: Ah.. Saul's got a boyfriend. He told me a couple weeks ago. Nora: Well, why didn't he tell me? Justin: I don't know. I don't have any details. Listen, you cannot tell Saul. Nora: I won't. Justin: Told me on the Q.T. Nora: I won't. Justin: We're gonna keep it on the down low. Nora: I promise. Justin: All right. I love you. I love you. Nora: Okay. Love you. Yeah. ♪ Run (I'm A Natural Disaster) ♪ by Gnarls Barkley ♪ Listen Kevin: Take longer next time. Justin: You can't ask me to be your getaway driver and then bitch about it. Here. Kevin: Where's the other one? There's two. Justin: Just saw one in the kitchen. Kevin: This is the antibiotic. I need painkillers. Justin: All right, you know what? This one will keep you from going septic. Unless you want to go back in the house, then man up. Kevin: Uh. Justin: I'm not going back in there. Kevin: Ow. What's your problem? Justin: What's not? | ||
Kevin: Hope you enjoy those $20 nuts. Justin: Yeah, well, I'm not the one who checked into the nicest room on the beach. So much for crying poor these days. Kevin: Know what? I gave up part of my liver. I think I've earned it. Hi, yeah. I just wanted to know if I have a refill left or whether or not I have to call my doctor. Walker, Kevin. Justin: Kev, I can't pick up your pills, not today. Kevin: I'm not asking you to. Yeah, great. And what time do you close? Okay, thank you. Justin: If that's Mom again, just tell her we're okay. She's not gonna come after you. Kevin: I think I can handle this. Hey. Sarah: There you are. Are you with Justin? Kevin: Maybe. Why? What's up? Sarah: Mom said you fled the premises, and given your recent surgery, I figured you must have had some help. Kevin: Aren't you a regular Nancy Drew? Sarah: Well, does he seem okay to you? Kevin: Yeah. A little crabby, maybe. Why? Sarah: He had a disastrous morning. He was painted a total loser by a class of first graders. Kevin: I wish that seemed weirder. Sarah: So where are you guys? Kevin: That's top secret. But don't worry. I am fi... Actually, I'm in excruciating pain. But you could help me. Sarah: This is about Justin. We have to talk to him. He's been humiliated. He's vulnerable. This is a perfect moment for us to put our collective foot in his ass about getting his act together. Kevin: Great. I'm in. I think that's a brilliant idea. But before I tell you where we are, do you know that new pharmacy on Colorado? Sarah: What do you want? Justin: You don't suppose that's Mom, do you? Kevin: No. It's probably housekeeping. Go check. TV: coconut open, I have taken a hammer... Justin: Yes, ma'am. Kevin: Tommy. Sarah: I brought reinforcements. Tommy: Nice five-star retreat. Kevin: Thanks. How's Elizabeth? Tommy: She's uh... she's good. Kevin: Good. So have I been disowned? Sarah: Yeah, by me. Thanks for letting me be the one to tell Mom that she was suffocating you. Appreciate that. Justin: Wow, Mom sent the cavalry. You must be in deep trouble. Scotty: Saul said you talked to Sarah? Nora: Kevin is with Justin. I don't know where. Scotty: Oh, he's okay? Nora: So she said. Scotty: I'm sorry. Are you mad at me? Nora: No. No, you were just trying to help. Scotty: But not actually helping. Nora: All I know is, according to Sarah, Kevin felt suffocated... Scotty: Okay, you know what? I am sorry I put too many blankets on his bed, that I use too much ointment on his wound, that I don't know how to take his shirt off properly. But he's my husband. I should be the one taking care of him. Nora: Then someone should have made that clear to me. I just naturally assumed when you came to this house you wanted me to take care of him. God, sometimes it's so impossible for me to understand what people actually want from me. Scotty: Okay, you know what? I'm sorry I got in your hair. I'll get out of it. Nora: Fine. Kevin: Oh, my God. Scotty, look, I can explain everything. Scotty: Great. How about explaining to me what part of "in sickness and in health" means leaving me at home with your mother? Kevin: I really had no choice. Scotty: You had plenty of choices. You just made the wrong ones. I mean, the least you could have done was told us we're being overbearing. Kevin: No, it's not you. Scotty: Fine. Your mother was overbearing. Kevin: Look, neither of you are overbearing, okay? It was me and these stupid dreams. Scotty: What dreams? I mean, what dreams could be so bad that you flee without explanation? Kevin: They're about Elizabeth, okay? I'm really sorry. I'm just trying to figure a few things out. Tommy: What's to figure out? Kevin: Well, I know we're all meant to pretend like it never happened... Tommy: Excuse me? What...? Kevin: But I am her biological father, Tommy. Tommy: Uhh. Oh, my God. I'm out of here, man. Kevin: What? Don't. Come... Sarah: Yeah, actually, we've gotta, Justin: Yeah, I think... Sarah: You know, look at the rental list and... Justin: It's a great room. Nora: I don't know. Sometimes it's just hard for Mama Bear to be on the sidelines. Saul: Nora? Nora: In the pantry. I don't know where you and Kevin are, but I want you to know that if you ever need a roomy house, I promise that I will let you be the one to undress your husband. Saul: What are you doing, Nora? Nora: Don't talk to me like our mother. Grab a glass and park yourself. Anyway, Scotty, I'm just sorry, and I love you. Okay. Bye. == Elizabeth: Daddy, Sarah was so mean. They were all so mean. Kevin: Well, I'm sorry, Lizzie. Elizabeth: Can we just go home? Kevin: Sure. How about we get some ice cream first? == Scotty: Okay, I just got a three-sheets-to-the-wind apology from your mother that I will be making a CD of and putting in everybody's stocking come Christmas. Oh, did you nod off? Have another dream? Kevin: Mm. But it was okay. Scotty: I'll get that. Hey. Tommy: Hey, man. Hey, Kev, we need to talk. Kevin: Yeah, I know. Kevin: "I agree that I will under no circumstance advise Elizabeth Walker as to her true parentage"? You, you really want me to sign this? Tommy: Look, Julia's been asking how this is gonna go. This was always the plan. Kevin: Plan? Tommy, there was never a plan. You and I jumped into this with blinders on. For there to have been a plan, we would have to have talked about it, which we've never done. Tommy: Kev, what's, what's to discuss? I'm trying to do what's best for Elizabeth. Kevin: Yeah, but this is as if I, I don't exist. Tommy: What do you expect? Do you wanna be her father? Kevin: No, that's not what I'm saying. Come on. Tommy: That's not gonna happen. Kevin: Doesn't have to be like this. Tommy: Kevin, I'm her father. Whatever dreams or feelings you're having, deal with them. That's it. Kevin: Wow, these robes are like wearing heaven. Scotty: Hmmm. Kevin: How much do you think they'd charge if we stole one? Scotty: We already did last time we were here. How do you think I found you? Kevin: I was wondering about that. Scotty: Yeah. Kevin: Was that when that kid peed in the planter by the pool? Scotty: Oh, my God. Sammy the Sprinkler. You complained to his dad, and somehow you became the bad guy. Kevin: I was the bad guy. He was just being a kid. Come on. If he was mine, I'd do exactly the same. Do you think we'll ever have kids of our own? Scotty: Yeah. Yeah, definitely. I... ♪ Can't Go Back Now ♪ by The Weepies ♪ Listen Scotty: I'd love kids someday. Kevin: It's weird. I grew up thinking I'd never be a dad. Scotty: Well, it's not that weird. I mean, you're gay. Kevin: No, no, no, it's not that. It's just, I wasn't sure if I'd be any good at it, you know, putting somebody else's needs first all the time. It's these dreams... In the last one, she was crying, and I knew she really needed me and that I had to be there. But the weird thing is, it didn't feel like a burden anymore. It just felt amazing. It's like that famous line: "In dreams begin... " Scotty: "Begin responsibility. " Kevin: Yeah. Scotty: Yeah. Kevin: Whenever we decide, I'm ready. Scotty: I think you would make an incredible father. Tommy: Okay. Let's put this on you. There you go, honey. Julia: Elizabeth, you have a visitor. Tommy: Look. It's Uncle Kev. Kevin: Oh, wow. Don't let Uncle Scotty see you in that princess nightgown. He'll want that for himself. Julia: I'm gonna go make Elizabeth a bottle. Kevin: Okay. Tommy: I'm just gonna put on her diaper a little bit better. Lie down, honey. Kevin: You want a hand with that? Tommy: No, no. I got it. Kevin: Good, because I'd have no idea what to do. Look, with everything going on right now, the one thing I am sure of is that you're her father. So... I'll defer to you. Tommy: You'll always be a part of her life. Kevin: Good. As long as I can be the crazy uncle who buys her tons of presents, gives her a place to crash when Mom and Dad fight. Tommy: All right. Look, I'm gonna go help Mommy. You stay with Uncle Kevin, okay? Careful. Kevin: Got her. Hey. Hey, pretty lady. Hey, pretty lady. How are you doing? I've been thinking a lot about you recently. Ooo.. What's with all this drooling? You gotta quit that by the time you get into boys. Or girls. One never knows. |

Scotty: You wanted to lose 5 pounds so you could gain it back for Thanksgiving. Kevin: How far did we run? Scotty: Two miles. Kevin: Two miles? That's it, two miles? Scotty: Yeah. Kevin: That felt like 22. Oh, it's Tommy. Scotty: He fired you months ago. Get over it. Kevin: How would you like it if your own brother fired you? Scotty: I don't have a brother. Stop being so childish. Kevin: You stop being so childish. Hey. Scotty: This hospital has the worst food. I mean, it's not even food. It's some horrible facsimile of food. Kevin: Don't be too hard on it. It may be my last meal. Or Justin's. Justin: That's not funny, bro. Scotty: No. Kevin: I was... Tommy: There you are. Listen, I just spoke to the doctors, and she needs the transplant. Justin: Oh, God, Tommy. Are you okay? Tommy: Yeah. I'm fine. Everything's fine. Kevin, it's you. Kevin: Really? Tommy: Yeah. Kevin: Okay. Tommy: They wanna run some more tests, make sure you've never had hepatitis. Stuff like that. Kevin: Yeah. Sure. Justin: Congratulations. Tommy: Look, he can pass out cigars later. We... We gotta get to the lab. Kevin: Sure. I'Il... I'll see you later. Scotty: Yeah. Justin: You okay? Scotty: No. Are you? Justin: No, not really. Scotty: Hey. Umm, I'm gonna go home and get some stuff for Kevin. Nora: Oh, no, no. Let me go. You stay here. Scotty: No, you won't be able to find anything. Nora: Well, I'll find it if you tell me where it is. Oh, Justin, why don't you guys come with me? Justin: I just told you I wanna stay. Nora: Well, go out for a walk there. Rebecca: Yeah, let's go for a walk. Justin: I don't want a walk, okay? I want another bag of chips. Scotty: Um.. well, thanks. I'll make a list for you. Nora: Okay. Scotty: Hi. Oh, look, Sarah. This room is lovely. Sarah: Hi. I wouldn't know, Ma. It's pretty hard to see through the forest. Nora: Well, honey, just put it down over there. Sarah: Hey. Nora: Where's Kevin? Kevin: Right here. Nora: Hi, honey. How you doing? Sarah: Hey. Kevin: Hey, I'm fine. Well, I'm wearing a dress with no backside. I've been better. Nora: Well, I brought everything you wanted from home. Sarah: And then some. Nora: Yeah. So let's see what we have here. Your dop kit. Kevin: Great. Nora: And your pajamas. Scotty: Oh, Nora. Those aren't his pajamas. These are my pajamas. I should've gone... Kevin: Scotty, it's okay. I love your pajamas. Scotty: Yeah? It's okay. Sarah: Here's your iPod. Kevin: Thank you. Justin: Oh, that's great. We can listen to show tunes all night. Nora: Whatever Kevin wants. Sarah: Okay, I'm ordering Chinese. Kevin: I can't eat anything. Sarah: I know. That's why I'm gonna order shrimp, because you're allergic. Kevin: How thoughtful. Scotty: I don't think I could eat a thing...... Sarah: I'd like to place an order, please. One shrimp lo mein, one special fried rice with shrimp. What do you want, Justin? Justin: Beef with broccoli. Sarah: Two beef and broccoli, with shrimp. Kevin: Sarah, you don't have to order everything with shrimp. I'm not even hungry. Sarah: No, that'll be a pickup. Thank you. Nora: When are they taking you in in the morning. Kevin: Oh, some awful hour like 5. Scotty: Kevin, I think what you're doing is incredible. I don't think I would be so brave. Kevin: Well, you're not a morning person, honey. Nora: No, Kevin. You're being amazing. Kevin: I am amazing. Nora: Hi, Tommy. Sarah: Hey, Tommy. You hungry? I just ordered Chinese. You can have shrimp, shrimp or shrimp. Tommy: Well, you must be happy, Mom. Nora: Why on Earth would I be happy? Tommy: Everybody's here, together, for Thanksgiving, just the way you wanted it. Sarah: Tommy, that's not fair. Tommy: Well, then stop treating this like one of your dinner parties. I mean, this isn't another Walker family get-together. Nora: Tommy, that's not what we're doing. Tommy: Just enjoy your dinner. Kevin: Are you asleep? Scotty: No. Are you? Kevin: No. Wow, you look like you're in the first-class cabin of Swiss air. Seeing as I'm awake, I might as well sign some of these forms. Can you pass me that pen, please? Thank you. Scotty: What are they for? Kevin: Everything. This one's authorization of payment. Scotty: Payment? You're giving them a piece of your liver. Isn't that enough? Kevin: Oh, no. No good deed goes unpunished. Informed consent. They wanna make sure I'm aware of all the risks involved, which include: " Loss of limb function, paralysis, stroke, brain damage... " Scotty: Okay, good. Thank you. Moving on. Kevin: Hopefully, I'll end up with a scar and nothing else. Scotty: Well, I like scars. I think they're sexy. Kevin: This one needs to be notarized. Scotty: Notarize? What is it? Kevin: Power of attorney. Scotty: You're an attorney. Kevin: Not if I'm on life support. And as my husband, you'd be in charge of pulling the plug or not. Scotty: Okay, this is all starting to get a little too... um... real. Kevin: Yeah, I might sign that one in the morning. It's a good thing we are married. If it was up to my mother, she'd never pull the plug, and I'd be a vegetable for all eternity. Scotty: It's not funny, Kevin. Kevin: I know it's not funny, but please don't get serious on me now. We have the whole operation to get through. Scotty: I'm sorry. I'm just... I'm scared. ♪ Duet ♪ by Rachael Yamagata ft Ray Lamontagne ♪ Listen Kevin: I know. Come here. Everything is gonna be fine.

Scotty: Here they are. Julia: Oh, my God. It's Thanksgiving. Nora: Yes. Tommy: I can't believe you did this. Sarah: Well, we decided the bird was ambulatory, so we dressed him up, drove him in. Kitty: Hey, guys. Sorry. Sorry I'm late, but here is the lime Jell-O with walnuts and bananas. I have no idea what that has to do with Thanksgiving, but I'm not gonna eat it. Justin: I think it actually comes, like, from early colonial times. It was something with... Something to do with scurvy. Nora: It's Justin's favorite is what it is. Justin: Yeah. Kitty: Shut up. Saul: Kitty, it was very nice for Robert to come. Kitty: Oh, come on, Saul. Don't be sarcastic. He's got his whole family in town, and... Saul: Excuse me. I wasn't being sarcastic.

Robert: Yes. Kitty: So how's Kevin doing? I haven't seen him today. Scotty: Oh, you know, he's grumpy when he's awake, and he moans when he's asleep, which he's doing right now. Sarah: Everybody grab a chair and assume your usual positions. Oh, except for Justin. We decided to let you sit at the big person's table this year. Saul: No. No, no. Justin: Yes. I made it.

I have a bottle of sparkling apple cider, and it's an excellent year. Sarah: You know, everybody in this building is on some kind of drug, and we can't even drink. That's not fair. Robert: And that's not sparkling cider. Sarah: Oh... I'd like to try the sparkling apple cider, Uncle Saul. Saul: Some sparkling apple cider for sister Sarah, please. Kitty: Since when did you two become Amish? Nora: Rebecca, you don't have anything on your plate. Rebecca: I'm saving room because we're going to my mom's later. Saul: Certainly hasn't been stopping Justin, has it? Rebecca: Yeah, seriously. Justin: I just don't want to hurt Mom's feelings. Scotty: Julia, could you pass me the cranberry sauce? Justin: Oh, I think I may have finished that. Rebecca: Justin. Justin: What? I mean, I can give you some of my cran... Scotty: No, that's fine. Nora: You know, I've got a toast. To Elizabeth, my strong, little granddaughter, who, this year, out of all the Thanksgivings we've spent together, has given us so much to be thankful for. Julia: Thank you. All: To Elizabeth. Sarah: Oh, and I'd like to propose a toast to Paige and Cooper, who couldn't be here. You know, I've had a little taste of why Mom was so disappointed at the idea of not having Thanksgiving with her children. So to Mom, thank you for this fabulous meal. All: Yeah. All: To Nora. All: Cheers. All: Thank you. Kitty: Okay, I have... I have one more toast. Sorry, just one more. Every Thanksgiving, when Mom asks Kevin if he would like a piece of pie, Kevin always says the same thing, and then he proceeds to eat half of the pie all by himself. Nora: So true. Kitty: So here's to Kevin, who this year, gave new meaning to the phrase: "Just a sliver. " All: Ohh. Saul: Just an ... Kevin: That is the worst, most tasteless toast I have ever heard. Nora: Oh, Kevin. Kevin: Hey, Mom. Nora: Look at him. Justin: How you feeling? Kevin: I'm fine. Just a bit. Kitty: Oh, no, no. Nora: No, no, no. You don't want any sparkling apple cider. |

| Nora: We get start on this side of the house first. This is the center's kitchen. Scotty: Wow. Kevin: Yeah, and not in a good way. Justin: Hey, Ma, you know, these tiles are kind of grotty. Saul: You're just noticing the tiles? Nora: That's easy to fix. I've got some great books on restoration and renovation. You all can help me pick a look. Come on. Justin: Yay. Nora: This will be the heart and soul of the center. The great room. Kevin: If this is the great room, I'd hate to see the good room. Justin: You keep calling it "the center. " It sounds like a cult. You need a proper name for this place. Saul: Yeah, Nora, and make sure it's not Cancer House. Scotty: How about Roach Motel? Nora: All right, you guys. Everyone, stop. You just need to have a little vision. Go with me on this. Okay. Now, we'll put a TV and some nice chairs over there, and then over there in that corner will be, like, a rec room, with a ping-pong table and video games. Justin: Mom, what's with all the power tools? Nora: Ah, yes. I, I met with a contractor who had the audacity to quote me $60,000 for interior demolition alone. Saul: Oh. Justin: Wow. Scotty: Ouch. Nora: Yeah, so I thought maybe we could do it ourselves. Justin: Excuse me? Saul: "We" as in we here in this room? Nora: Oh, Sarah and Kitty will be joining us later and that'll be great. Tommy's out of town. It's really not that big a deal. Honestly. I mean, we just need to, you know, knock out these two little wall things and some stuff back there, air it all out. It's really just some basic demolition. Saul: No, basic demolition is what we do to each other at dinner after we've had copious amounts of wine. Justin: You can't mix that with power tools. Kevin: Plus, you know what? It's our day off. And I don't know if you're familiar with the term. It means no work. Nora: No, work? No, no. Oh, this will be so much fun. Do you know how many calories you're gonna burn? Kevin: Know what? I'd rather take a spin class. Saul: Nora, you said "tour. " You said "architectural tour. " Justin: Yeah. Nora: I said it would include a tour. Oh, Saul, you and William built Ojai from nothing. Why can't we do that here? Build another family legacy. Something that will live on way past us, something that doesn't include Holly. I've never done anything like this before. I've never believed in anything so strongly. This is my Ojai. Kevin: Well... Justin: Ma, you realize that Ojai wasn't built in a day, though? Kevin: Yeah, and you can't just knock down a wall. You have to consider electrical, plumbing. Nora: Oh, I have consi... I have walked through this entire house with the contractor taking copious notes. Bearing walls, electrical, plumbing. I've put it all down here on the floor plan. It's all marked. It is... Guys, this isn't brain surgery. Kevin: Okay, does anyone know how much asbestos is too much? Justin: Whoa! Nora: You know, in a few months, when an actual family is living in this big, beautiful, warm, friendly home, you all are gonna feel so proud about all this hard work you're doing here today. Scotty: Oh, dear. Nora: Oh, dear what? Scotty: It looks like you have a termite infestation. Kevin: Since when do you know anything about infestations? Scotty: I used to work for a carpenter every summer when I was in high school. I can chisel, drill and plane. Kevin: That is hot. Saul: All right, look, Nora, this is it. I think at this point, we should reevaluate. Justin: Yeah, mom, and maybe eat some lunch. Kevin: And get some air, because this dust is really giving me a migraine. Nora: Here. Take some aspirin. Eat a protein bar. Saul: Yeah. Nora: Anything else? Saul: A glass of Pinot Grigio. Kevin: Oh. Justin: Hey, mom, look at this stain. It looks like this might be water damage. Kevin: Justin, would you concentrate what you doing? I think that thing looks rotten. Justin: I am concentrating. If you know so much about it, why don't you come here and do it? Kevin: I can't because my spirit's broken. I don't even know why I'm here anymore. Nora: You're here to help families with sick children. Think about that when you work. Ugh. You know what? I don't think there's even any pipes near that section, not on the plans. Look, it must be just some sort of weird discoloration. Kevin: Do you even know how to read plans? Saul: Scotty, watch it. Kevin: For God's sake, you almost killed him. Justin: I'm sorry, Kevin. Are you all right, Scotty? Scotty: Guys, guys, I'm fine. I'm trying to achieve a state of Zen. Nora: Thank you, Scotty. Scotty: I said I'm trying. Rebecca: Hey, everyone. I ran into the pizza guy out front. So um, we have two veggie and two everything, and it's on me. Nora: No, no, no. I ordered it. I'll pay for it. Rebecca: No, no. I wanted to, because I just got a promotion. Nora: Wow, honey. Congratulations. Justin: You did? Rebecca: Mm-hm. Thanks. I'm gonna be working advertising at Walker Landing. So basically I coordinate with the ad agency, oversee special projects. Kevin: That's huge, you know? Rebecca: Yeah. Kevin: Temp one day, exec the next? Rebecca: Yeah, well, I mean, it's not that sudden. Saul: No, and if Tommy feels you're ready, well, then I guess you are. Rebecca: Yeah, yeah. Well, actually, He's out of town but my mom thinks that it should be fine, so... Saul: Hmm... Rebecca: Yeah. What's with all the looks? Nora: Ah. Scotty: I'm just hungry. Kevin: Mmm, starving. Justin: Becca, you gotta admit, you're not exactly qualified for that. Rebecca: About as qualified as you four are to do construction. Justin: I didn't... Rebecca: It's a great house, Nora. Nora: No, wait. You're not going, are you? Rebecca: Well, seeing as I'm not qualified for my new job, I should go home and brush up on my new responsibilities. Justin: Rebecca, I didn't mean it like... Rebecca: I'm going home. We'll talk later. Scotty: Thank you for the pizza, Re..be..cca. Kevin: Looks like you're staying at mom's. Scotty: Senator, a hand would be nice. Robert: Secretary of state trumps carpets. Kevin: Wait, what are you doing here? You have to go. Justin: What are you doing? We need him. Kevin: I'm doing my job. Robert: Look, it's okay. I can multitask. Scotty: Good, Then multitask away. Justin: Guys, here's the deal: Why don't we just open this window and throw the carpet out there? Scotty: That's leaded glass, doesn't open. Only decent thing in this dump. Do you really wanna break it? Saul: Yes. I'll pay for a new one. I have never been more serious in my life. I have no intentions of ever touching this carpet again. Nora: Oh. Sarah: Oh. Kitty: Oh, mom. Mom! Nora: Oh, oh, oh. Robert: Everybody okay? Nora: Oh. Kitty: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, we're okay. Nora: No. No. Kevin: Mom. Mom, look, I'm sure, you know, someone will be able to fix this. I mean, you know, obviously not us. Sarah: Right. A contractor. Kevin: I'm sure someone can, maybe. Nora: I could've killed myself. I could've killed one of you. Sarah: Oh, come on, mom. It's... Nora: No, this house is nothing but rotten wood. You all tried to tell me. The moldy walls, the collapsing ceiling. I was just too stubborn to listen. I, I thought we could save it, our special family project, My... Kitty: Mom. Mom. Hey, you know what? You're right. This house is a... Well, it's a mess. It's a complete and utter mess. Nora: I just said that, Kitty. Scotty: Yes, you did, but you know what? Maybe that's okay. Maybe that's okay. I mean, a lot of great things come out of messy, complicated situations because, you know, they're just meant to be, right? Kevin: Yeah, but, you know, there's a lot to be said for clean, orderly, simple... Kitty: No, come on, Kevin. You love complicated. You... Why did you go to work for Robert? Scotty: Oh, because he didn't make partner. Kevin: What? No, I wanted to make a difference. Kitty: Right. Right. Because mom has always taught us, for better or for worse, that complicated things can.. can be good. All:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Robert: Yeah. I get the argument. Kitty: Of course you agree, because you ran for president. Nothing simple about that. And then there's Sarah. Sarah's in business with two teenagers, for God's sake. Sarah: Well, they're 28. Kitty: She goes out to dinner with her ex boy-toy, she kisses him, she gets a million dollars. I mean, that's complicated. Sarah: Complicated. Justin: That's really complicated. Kitty: Oh, you know what? Then there's Justin. Justin's an addict and he went to war. Hey, and then there's Uncle Saul. I mean, that, that is incredibly complicated. Nora: Kitty, I so appreciate you trying to cheer me up but it isn't... Kitty: No, no. No buts. You're not allowed to give up. You're not allowed to give up because you believe, in your gut that this is right. And, and, and besides, we've all inherited this... this absurd drive to.. to make things that, that... Yes, they seem complicated and they're messy but we can turn them into something great. All: Yeah. Kitty: Right? All: Yeah. Right. Kitty: And if you give up, well, then, there's just no hope for the rest of us. Sarah: Don't give up... All: Oh. Kitty: Oh, man. Nora: Thanks anyway, Kitty. Robert: Look, I know you can set this up. I need a face-to-face as soon as possible. So could you give me a call? I... Well, I have something I just wanna bounce off of you. So call me when you can. Hey. Kevin: Hi. Robert: Ah, thanks. Kevin: Everything okay? Robert: Oh, yeah. Kevin: Look, obviously, I work for you but we don't always have to be so professional. Okay? We are related. I am your brother. We just have a "in" and a "law" attached. Robert: Kitty tell you that I had brought up surrogacy? I mean, with what we've gone through birth mother, it seems like the simple, straightforward thing to do. The baby would be ours legally and biologically. Kevin: So let me guess. You'd rather a surrogate, Kitty wants Trish? Robert: Yeah, exactly. And look, I get it, if this goes well, we have a baby in three months. But now Kitty's got feelings and she's got chills and, I mean, I'm willing to stand down but if she's wrong about this... Kevin: Look, take Kitty off the table for a moment. What do you want? Robert: I guess I don't know. Sarah: Thanks Saul: Just do me a favor. Don't turn around yet. Okay? Nora: What, did the rest of the ceiling cave in? Saul: No. Nora: Did you find a family of possums living in the crawl space? Why are you dragging me in here? Justin: Mom, mom, mom, be quiet, all right? Just be quiet. Nora: Do I at least get a cigarette and a chance to say my last words? Kevin: Oh, I, I think you're gonna owe us big time for this one. Scotty: Okay, Nora, turn around. Saul: Come on. Nora: Oh, my God. What... What is th...? What did you...? Did you...? Did you...? Justin: Just a little something we whipped up this morning. Kevin: When the ceiling came down, some plaster fell from the adjoining wall and there it was. Nora: It's amazing. Justin: See, without you forcing us to demolish this place, we never would've found it. Nora: All right, I'm keeping the house. Saul: Oh, sweetheart, that's great news. And you're gonna get an architect, and a contractor. Kevin: Yes? Nora: Yes. |
