01x05 - Until Death Do Us Part

[bunniefuu]

And may contain
mature subject matter.

Viewer discretion is advised.

Previously, on family law...

Have you been drinking again?

Daniel, I think you should
focus less on your sister,

and more on bringing
in paying clients.

Seriously, what
is wrong with you?

Abby!

We're engaged.

We're going
ring-shopping this weekend.

My therapy receipts.

They're fake.

They're for cancelled
appointments.

This is classic "old Abby"...

Scamming the system.

You want in on the office pool?

$100 lets you guess which day
Daniel breaks up with Danielle.

Ooh, daddy's girl
has a mean streak.

Long day?

Who's she?

My wife, Maggie.

♪ I don't know why...

♪ I'm always wrong

♪ maybe I've been
this way all along ♪

Hurry up!

Take-off, mouth-breather.

I need to poop!

Go downstairs.

Remind me again why we had kids.

Let's pretend we didn't...

Just for a little while.

♪ Show me your hands...

♪ show me again...

♪ Show me where you've been... ♪

Oh, you're so...

Mom... Jesus.

Oh! Sorry, love. I
thought you were Maggie.

And then your mom said,

"don't worry,

I won't flush
until you're done."

Well,

not everyone grew up
with her own en suite, Lucy.

Don't make this about class,

it was a blatant
privacy violation,

and also disgusting.

Just be glad it wasn't my dad.

Come on, they're only
here for four more days.

Easy for you to say.

You've been working


Love you. Bye.

Love you.

I found some amazing
places for our honeymoon.

Mm. Where's that?

Costa Rica.

We could go kayaking,
scuba diving, surfing...

Zipline through the rainforest.

Mm. Sold.

Oh, we should go into
the bank this weekend.

Open a joint account.

For the wedding expenses?

No, silly.

For the rest of our life.

Mwah.

Good morning.

I don't know what
you're so pissy about.

You're the one who went
behind my back to Harry.

You were in the room.

Yeah, lucky for me.

Who knows what you
would've said if I hadn't been.

You were drinking and
dad covered for you.

You're paranoid.

Abigail...

You could've brought
the whole firm down.

Again.

And what's dad do?

He gives you another free pass.

Think he ever gives me a break?

Oh, poor Daniel.

You know, for


was a card with a
cheque for my birthdays

and at Christmas, because he was

too busy with his other kids.

So... yeah.

Maybe he does owe me a break.

She quit. No notice.

So...

We're all going
to have to pitch in.

I'm not a receptionist.

We have a meeting
with my old neighbour

in a half an hour, downstairs.

Try to be professional.

Carmen, nice to see you.

Hello, Jerri. Is he in?

For you, yes.

Who's that?

Harry's girlfriend.

Hmm!

Great taste in clothes.

Poor taste in men.

Carmen! What a
pleasant surprise.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

Course not. Can I
get you a coffee?

Hmph.

Harry, do you have something
you'd like to share with me?

Could you be more specific?

Are you seeing someone else?

To be fair, Carmen,

we've never had
the exclusivity talk.

So that's a yes?

There is one other woman.

Well, you might want
to tell her to see a doctor,

because you gave me chlamydia.

Oh, and Harry?

Lose my number.

Mr. Rubinek, sir?

Good to see you.

"Mr. Rubinek, sir"?

Dear god.

Daniel!

Law school made you too formal.

Hi.

- I'm Abigail Bianchi.
- Hello.

Hi.

Ira and his wife, Helen,
lived across the street from us.

I went to school
with their daughter.

How is Miriam?

Good. Married, two kids.

Became a teacher,
like her parents.

No surprise.

Uh, so how can we
help you, mister...

"Ira"?

My wife was diagnosed

with early-onset
Alzheimer's two years ago.

But... she's so young.



I looked after her at home
for as long as I could, but...

Well, she's in a
care facility now.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

This home that she's in...

It's terrible.

I need your help
to get her moved.

As long as you have
power of attorney,

you can move her
anywhere you want.

Unfortunately, I
don't. Miriam does.

I was battling prostate cancer
when Helen was diagnosed

and we thought
it was best, but...

I b*at it, thank god,

and now I want Helen's
power of attorney back.

Have you talked
about this with Miriam?

She refuses to move her.

But if the facility
is so terrible...

Miriam doesn't see it.

She thinks it's great.

What are your specific concerns?

They treat her like a child.

They make no effort
to meet her needs.

They're making her
mental state worse.

Daniel, you know Helen.

If you could see her...

She would never
agree to a place like this.

Rhonda, thanks for meeting me.

Got you your favourite.

Oh, thank you.

What's up?

Um, is-is...

Is there any way

you might have given me...

Chlamydia?

Oh, Harry, I'm sorry.

I thought it was all cleared up.

Did you get antibiotics?

Yes, so, how...

Well, it was probably Frederick.

Or raj.

You're seeing other men?

Oh, is that a problem?

You never said you
wanted to be exclusive.

You could've mentioned it.

You gave me chlamydia!

Well, if you were

so worried about it, you
should've used a condom.

I didn't know you were
gallivanting about town.

You were the one

who said you wanted
to keep things light.

Yes, but...

- But only for you?
- No!

Am I the only one you're seeing?

Well...

You're such a hypocrite.

We're done.

This place is like Disneyland.

Mm, wouldn't know.
I've never been.

"Main street, usa."

Harry took me and
Lucy when we were little.

How nice for you all.

Welcome to the
theatre of the absurd.

Shall we?

Finish the tour.

Talk to some of
the staff, residents,

see what you can find out.

Helen, this is Daniel svensson.

He went to school with Miriam.

He used to live across
the street from us.

Hello.

You remember?

He was always at our house.

You made me matzo ball soup.

Taught me
how to win at scrabble.

Oh, isn't that nice?

He was there so
much, Miriam asked

if we could adopt him.

You remember that?

Oh, I'm glad you came, George.

No, sweetheart...

It's me, ira.

I'm... I'm your husband.
I'm not your brother.

Where's mum? You said
you'd bring her on the way over.

Helen, your mother's
been dead for 12 years.

That's not true.

I just spoke to
her on the phone.

She d*ed of cancer,
sweetheart, pancreatic cancer.

We were with her when she
d*ed. We were there at the hospital.

I don't want these men here.
I just want to see my mother.

Of course. Yeah.
Let's try and find her.

You see?

They're making her worse.

Is he waiting for a bus?

Our villagers frequently
want to go home.

Instead of saying
"this is your home now,"

we let them pack a bag
and come to the bus stop.

Most of the time,

they forget why they're there
and go back to their suite.

Isn't that kind of... cruel?

What's cruel about
saving someone

a lot of undue
stress and anxiety?

Let me know if there's
anything else you need, okay?

Thanks.

- Hi.
- Hello.

Where are you headed?

Downtown to meet my sweetheart.

Oh. Great.

Hmm.

Do you have a sweetheart?

I do.

We're in a bit of a
rough patch, though.

Well, these things have a
way of working themselves out.

I'm Lionel.

Abigail.

This bus is always late...

but it'll take you
wherever you want to go.

Where do you want to go?

Home.

You saw them in action.

It's like they're actively
helping her forget herself.

Dad!

Hey.

I thought you weren't
coming this morning.

I had a window so...

Oh, my gosh!

Daniel svensson!

Hi, Miriam.

Good to see you.

How are you? It's been so long.

I heard you're a lawyer now.

Yup.

Well, what are you doing here?

Daniel's here for me, Miriam.

You hired a lawyer?

Hello. You must be Miriam.

I'm Abigail Bianchi.
I work with Daniel.

"For." she works for me.

Two lawyers?

You hired two lawyers?

And you brought them here
without talking to me first?

I'm not moving her.

Imagine.


and this is how it ends.

Your wife has no
idea who you are.

That's the deal.

In sickness and in health,
till death do you part.

Unless you're Harry,

in which case,
of course, it's just

somethin' you do on a Tuesday.

Let me state, for the record,

never put me in
one of those places.

Put a b*llet between
my eyes first.

Dibs on pulling the trigger.

These three accounts

are overdue 6, 8, and 11 months.

I recommend we pass
them on to collections.

She gave me chlamydia
and she dumps me?

Will somebody
please answer the phone?

I had two wonderful women

and I lost them both because
of a misunderstanding?

Cecil!

Get the phones!

You were lying to them, Harry.

You've had these
"misunderstandings"

with women your entire life.

Svensson and associates.
Will you hold, please?

Harry svensson?

Excuse me. Who let you through?

You've been served.

You'll never catch me...!

Dale?

Mom's gonna
be so excited that I met you.

Your mother can kiss my ass!

Ma'am? You okay?

Oh, hey. You have to
teach me how to do that.

His hearing's not the only thing

that's been dropping off.

Wait. You're a therapist.

Maybe you can tell me.

I'm sorry, Shirley. I-I
need to get ready for work.

I suppose he could
get a prescription...

But I don't think either of us

want him walking around
with a three-hour erection.

One hour, maybe... Might
actually be kind of fun.

She never shuts up.

Literally.

Her mouth never stops moving.

She followed me into the
bedroom while I changed.

What are your
future in-laws like?

I've never met them.

Seriously?

You've lived together
for almost two years.

They live in Montreal.

Daniel, meet them.

Before the wedding.

You do know you're not
just marrying Danielle, right?

It's a package deal.

Can somebody please answer that?

I need to talk to you.

Oh, Jesus!

I wouldn't actually
sh**t ya, Harry.

I'd get joanne to do it.

I need to pull you
onto something.

It's... sensitive.

Oh?

My girlfriend, Carmen...

Ex-girlfriend...

Is suing me for
giving her an s.T.I.

Uh, stop! I don't
want to hear this.

I was having relations
with two women.

- Don't.
- And I gave Carmen

chlamydia.

Ohh! Come on!

I need a lawyer
who's well-versed

in personal injury law.

Someone who can shut this down.

No, no way. Not a chance.

This can't become
public, Abigail.

It can't go to court.

This firm doesn't need
two disgraced lawyers.

And may I remind
you, you owe me?

Ugh.

Fine.

One more thing.

If you say another
word about your sex life,

I swear I'm gonna...

Carmen hired a
very good law firm.

Your old one, in fact.

You'll be up against your
ex-boss, George handler.

I set up a meeting

with ira and Miriam
for this afternoon.

And remember,

this little discussion

is covered by
lawyer-client privilege.

Don't even think about it.

I am not doing
your photocopying.

I'm not asking.

Go on.

Get.

Okay, I've done some
preliminary research.

It's okay. Jerri
knows everything.

Lucky me.

I've looked through
the case history

of similar lawsuits,

and while there
are precedents...

they're for s.T.I.S
that are life-altering,

like hep "c" and HIV.

And chlamydia?

You can treat it with
a $20 prescription...

which I'm guessing you now know.

She doesn't have
a leg to stand on.

No, but I know my old firm.

They'll go after damages
for emotional distress

and mental anguish.

They may even throw in
some PTSD for added effect.

Oh. Good tactic.

If you want to avoid

having your dirty laundry
aired all over town,

I'd suggest you offer
a generous settlement

with a condition that
Carmen sign a non-disclosure.

Fine. Good!

Write it up.

She really is her
father's daughter.

I'm on my cell if
anyone needs me.

I'm not the receptionist.

Hey. What's she
working on for Harry?

I have no idea.

Whatever it is,

she's being
super-secretive about it.

She's even doing
her own photocopying.

Are you dreading this?

Does raggedy Ann
have a cotton crotch?

Hi.

Oh, I'm so glad you
could both make it.

I purposely selected a
place that didn't serve alcohol.

Oh, thanks.

I actually got a
little emotional,

thinking about
meeting you both today.

I'm an only child,

and it means so much to
me to be gaining two sisters.

Ohh! The reason I
asked you here is...

Ahem.

Will you be my bridesmaids?

I'd love to.

Are you sure?

I mean, her, I get, but, like...

Abigail,

you're as much a part
of this family as anyone.

Will you say yes?

Uh... yes?

Yes!

My best friend, Melanie,
will be maid of honour,

but she lives in Montreal,

so if it's not too much trouble,

would you be up for throwing
my bachelorette party?

Um... sure.

- Yes.
- Yeah.

Uh, what'd you have in mind?

Oh, oh, totally up to you.

But I brought a
list of suggestions,

just to spark ideas.

Uh, excuse me for a moment.

The spa scandinave in
whistler would be amazing.

You're a hard
man to get ahold of.

Abby. I'm meeting a client.

Okay. I'll keep it short.

I'm sorry I lied about
my therapy sessions.

I-I booked them with
the best of intentions.

No, you didn't.

Frank, come on. I'm trying here.

If you put half the
amount of effort

into doing the work, as
you do avoiding the work...

Our three-month custody
review is coming up.

At this rate,

I-I don't see how
things can change.

Miriam, thank
you for doing this.

- Daniel.
- Winnie.

And you're Abigail
Bianchi. Right? Frank's ex?

Uh, not ex. Current.

Mm. I heard ex.

You brought a lawyer?

Just following your lead, dad.

I understand your
client has some concerns

about Mrs. Rubinek's care.

Our client wants his wife moved

to a facility that
meets her needs.

He wants to work

collaboratively
with his daughter

to come up with a solution
that works for everyone.

We have a solution.

Dad... mom is happy.

I get that you're
dealing with a lot,

but you don't think that this
has been hard on me, too?

I'm losing my mother.

They are doing
everything they can

to sever whatever tether
she has left on reality.

At best, it is
negligent and lazy.

At worst, it is abuse.

You want them to remind her

every second of every day

that she is trapped?

That she will never have
the life she used to have?

I think we can agree both...

I want your mother moved.

Miriam has power of attorney.

As far as we're concerned,

Helen rubinek is
staying where she is.

If there's no room
for compromise,

then you leave us no choice
but to take you to court.

See you in court then.

Well, that was a sh*t-show.

Get us a court date
and a subpoena

for all of her medical records.

Go back to Helen's nursing home.

Talk to her doctors,
nurses, caregivers.

We need to show a link
between the facility's approach

and her rapid mental decline.

Hmm. Danielle?

Bridesmaid dress
options already?

I thought you said
September of next year?

Why is she sending you...?

Oh-ho! Oh, I knew
she hadn't told you.

Lesson number one in
marriage, pooh bear...

Communication.

Mm. Thank you, dear Abby.

Our communication is just fine.

Oh, yeah? You
had the "kids" talk?

We're not in any rush.

Please. How old is she? 34?

She's gonna get pregnant
on your honeymoon.

You don't know
anything about us.

Just because we
make it official,

doesn't mean
anything's gonna change.

Oh, Daniel.

Poor, deluded Daniel.

Let me guess.

Even if you wrap
your brain around kids,

you think you're gonna
stay in yaletown, right?

You'll be that hot couple
with the $1,800 stroller,

doing the seawall,
sipping lattes...

Let me tell you something
about those couples...

They go home to their condos

and they cry on
their Murphy beds

because the baby doesn't
sleep and their sex life is over.

You do realize you are
literally the last family member

I'd ever take
marriage advice from?

Oh, you're right.

Maybe you should get
advice from our father.

He was such an
excellent role model.

Danny. There you are.

We haven't had time to
toast your engagement.

Mm.

Well, I got lucky, dad.

She's pretty great.

Mm, yes. Of course she is.

Ahem. I wanted to offer you
some fatherly words of wisdom.

Get a pre-nup.

I wish I'd had one with joanne.

She cost me a small fortune.

Come to think of it,
so did your mother.

I appreciate the concern,
but Danielle and I are solid.

It always feels that
way in the early days,

but I've built a practice on
the happily-ever-after myth.

Sorry to interrupt.

Uh...

Great talk!

Daniel, uh, I need a
private moment with Abigail.

Take your drink.

Carmen's refused the offer.

What?

$30,000 is more than generous!

Ah, it's not about the money.

She wants to embarrass
you in front of your peers.

Unbelievable.

We can propose a
settlement meeting.

Might be our only
chance to Bury this

and save you from
public humiliation.

We can't do it here,
for obvious reasons.

Let's make it easy for them.

We'll meet at their offices.

Y-You're gonna make me
defend you at my old firm?

Let me know when
you've set a time.

I just wish you
would've asked me first.

Well, I didn't think I
needed permission

to pick my bridesmaids.

It's just that I don't really
think of Abby as a sister.

I hardly know her.

Well, then this is the
perfect opportunity

to change that.
Seriously, Danny.

You don't know how lucky
you are to have siblings.

I still haven't
forgiven my parents

for not giving me any.

Well, that's probably
something else

we should talk about.

Oh, kids? Of course.
I want at least two.

Preferably three.

I win.

My parents are out there.

Why are you hiding in here?

Why are you hiding at work?

Coincidence?

Okay.

I love them, I do, but
they make me so crazy.

My mom called me
eight times today

asking where stuff was.

At least she hasn't texted you

articles about
erectile dysfunction.

Oh, my god.

Okay. Yeah. I'm
hiding in here with you.

Oh, my god.

I just want you to know

that the sphincter
pads in the bathroom

are your father's, not mine.

I'm waiting on a subpoena

for Helen's medical records,

but, in the meantime,

I'd like to speak
with her care team.

Of course.

I believe Dr. Valesco is
with a patient right now,

but I'll let him
know you're here.

Okay. You mind if I
say a quick hi to Helen?

Sure, go ahead.

Helen?

Lionel! Oh!

Oh...

Lionel!

And you're sure they were...?

Oh, yeah.

And the staff told me
this happens all the time.

They're called "the rabbits,"

because Lionel and
Helen go at it like...

Okay, so the
staff thinks this is a joke.

Unbelievable.

What did you do? Did you...

break it up?

Did i... no! No. I went
and found a nurse

and once they were...

Finished,

she escorted Lionel
back to his room.

This is gonna k*ll ira.

You have to tell him?

If we want to use it in court,

better he hears
it from me first.

Now you know why
we got to get her out of there.

You knew about this?

Of course.

And you think anyone
will listen to me?

I'm just the husband.

But, oh, no, we can't
possibly tell Helen

she's being assaulted
repeatedly by a stranger.

Ira...

I can't imagine the pain
you're going through,

but I wouldn't
characterize what I saw

as "as*ault".

What else would it be?

Consensual?

How can she give consent?

She doesn't even know
who she's sleeping with!

Ira, why didn't you tell us?

I didn't want Miriam to know.

Oh.

I understand.

And we don't have to
use this in court, but...

It would help.

The agreement

isn't interchangeable
just because Mr. Rubinek

is having difficulty coping
with his wife's illness.

My client has
been very thoughtful

about the decisions
around her mother's care.

Mr. Svensson?

Your honour,

Mr. Rubinek only wants
what's in his wife's best interests.

Which is precisely what is
most important to my client.

Unfortunately, your client
doesn't have all the facts.

Mrs. Rubinek has been
engaging in frequent sexual activity

with another
resident at the facility.

My client is aware.

You knew?

I'm sorry you had to find out,
but it doesn't change anything.

You're fine with a stranger
schtupping your mother?

Mr. Rubinek, I will have order.

May I remind the court,

Mrs. Rubinek granted
my client power of attorney.

And though it pains Ms. Rubinek

to see her mother with
someone other than her father,

she's set aside her own feelings

to ensure her
mother's happiness.

Your honour, we'd
like to introduce

bank statements from Helen
rubinek's savings account.

Objection. We
haven't seen these.

Ms. Bianchi, what is your point?

These show numerous
large withdrawals

made by Ms. Rubinek
over the past year

that are to her benefit,
not to her mother's.

- What?
- Objection!

That accusation is
malicious and unfounded.

I will allow it.

In January of last year,

Ms. Rubinek withdrew
$70,000 for a new BMW.

In may, $10,000,

for a trip to Hawaii with
her husband and children.

The degree to which

Ms. Rubinek is depleting
her mother's accounts

gives us serious concern.

Objection!
Your honour, Ms. Bianchi

is intentionally
misleading the court.

This court is in recess while
I review these documents.

Counsel, please do the same.

We'll reconvene after lunch.

Did you have to say all
those things about Miriam?

I didn't know you were
going to eviscerate her.

You told me to buy that car

so that I could drive
mom to her appointments.

- Miriam...
- I took the family to Maui

because you said that
I deserved a vacation.

Do not try to see me anymore.

Or your grandchildren.

And to think I played
"doctor" with you.

Mom and dad's breakup
blew our world apart.

Mom went back to college.

I was at ira and Helen's
house every day after school.

Anything I know about
successful relationships,

it's because of them.

And now...

Yeah, getting old sucks.
What are you doing Saturday?

Few of us are gonna
ride up cypress.

I can't.

Danielle wants
to look at venues.

For what?

The wedding.

The... what?

We're getting married.

September next year.

Dude!

Seriously?

We've been talking about
old people for over an hour!

God.

Way to Bury the lede.

Congratulations.

This is a tragic situation,

and my heart goes
out to you both.

The depth of your
loss is beyond words.

Having weighed the facts
and arguments presented,

I am revoking power of
attorney for Helen rubinek

from her daughter, Miriam,

and granting it to her
husband, ira rubinek.

Case adjourned.

Look, it's

Oh, now she doesn't want
it, now she doesn't want it.

- Yeah.
- Not my fault.

It's no one's fault.
She's just a baby, okay?

Thanks for meeting me.

Sure thing.

I, uh...

Don't suppose you could
recommend a therapist?

For?

Oh? I thought therapy was just
a bunch of "blah-diddy-blah"?

Oh, it is.

Frank's insisting, so.

I know someone who
might be a good fit.

Hey, did Harry really
take you and Daniel

to Disneyland
when you were kids?

Yep, and Daniel burst into tears

at the sight of Mickey mouse.

Sounds about right.

You were supposed to come, too.

Yeah, sure.

No, really.

I remember being super-excited

because I was gonna
finally meet my older sister,

and then dad said
you had other plans.

Morning, Daniel.

Good morning.

You all right?

I'm counting on you.

Hi, Ms. Bianchi.

Wendy.

Well, Abby,

Harry...

You asked for this meeting.

The floor is yours.

Let's cut to the chase.

This whole lawsuit is bogus.

It would never hold up in court.

My client did not knowingly

pass this s.T.I. On
to Ms. Fitzgerald.

If we look at precedents
from similar lawsuits,

these are for
life-threatening cases,

not for infections

that can be cured
with a $20 prescription.

The cost of medication
has no bearing on...

But in no way do
I want to diminish

the pain that
Carmen has suffered.

This pain didn't
come from chlamydia.

It came from him.

My client has a defect...

A complete inability to
commit, or be faithful, to anyone.

His past is littered
with failed marriages,

disappointed children,
wounded girlfriends.

You should be glad
you escaped this,

before you became even
more emotionally invested.

This isn't about
the money, is it?

This is about your need...

No.

Your right to an apology.

Make no mistake,

we're interested in
punitive damages.

An apology would go a long way.

Harry?

I'm sorry if you feel
that I've hurt you.

You're going to have to do
much, much better than that.

Carmen, I apologize.

I should have been much
more upfront with you.

You deserve better.

I am truly sorry

for any pain I have caused.

Everything else aside,

I wish I could do something
to make it up to you,

because...

I miss you.

Our offer stands.

$30,000, a signed nda,

and a withdrawal of the claim.

I accept.

Nice job.

Grunt work completed.

I asked where you and
dad went this morning.

Someone overheard
Jerri call a cab

to handler, Bennett,
and donaldson.

They're suing your ass
and Harry's defending you.

Am I right?

You ever play that
game "hot, hot, cold"

when you were a kid?

Yeah.

You need a parka.

Dad made them
separate mom and Lionel.

Miriam, I can't talk to you
without your lawyer present.

She's inconsolable.

You need to work
this out with your dad.

Really?

You want me to
talk to my father?

Because of you, I'm
the shitty daughter

who tried to steal
her mom's life savings.

Your dad hired me to do
what he thought was best.

Bullshit!

You were a permanent
fixture in our house.

You even had your own
toothbrush and pajamas.

My dad is hurt and he is jealous

and he can't stand
to lose control,

and now my mom has given up.

The woman who
practically raised you.

So... fix it!

Listen to me.

I'm gonna get you
out of this place.

I don't want to go.

Where's Lionel?

She won't eat.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Ira, you and Helen...

had an incredible life together.

And if she has a chance

at a little happiness...

I know you want
to give her that.

Good afternoon,
svensson and associates.

Please hold.

Good afternoon,
svensson and associates.

Ple... oh. Sorry.

I thought I put you
through already.

Hang on.

Svensson and associates.
One moment, please.

Cecil.

Press one, the
number sign to connect,

followed by the extension.

Hello?

I owe you an apology
for what I said, Rhonda,

but I think you should have
told me about the chlamydia

before I passed it on.

It cost me $30,000 in a lawsu...

Told you you were cold.

Have a safe
trip back to moosejaw.

Oh... just one more.

Come on, mum!

You don't want
to miss your flight.

- Okay.
- Bye.

Bye! Love you!

Mm-mm-mm. Bye!

Bye!

Thank you.

I know that wasn't easy.

I love your parents.

I do.

But you're glad they're gone.

Mm-hmm.

Me too.

Oh, yeah.

So is this just what happens?

You have kids.

You give them everything,
you love them to bits,

and then they grow up

and can't wait
to get rid of you?

Seems to be the
natural order of things.

I guess that's one in my
column for not having kids.

Hey, pooh bear.

Did you get my
text about Saturday?

Are you okay?

What happened?

Danielle...

I can't get married.

Hold on.

Did something happen today?

No.

Was it yannick? Did
he give you cold feet.

No. It's not cold feet.

Okay, look, we don't need to
look at venues this Saturday.

We can slow things down.

No, no. It's not that. I...

I should never have proposed.

I thought I could
go through with it.

Pretend to be the
kinda guy who could...

Open a joint bank account

and raise kids,

live in the suburbs...

Who said we
had to live in the suburbs?

It's something in me
deep down, I can't explain.

It's just...

It's not who I am.

No.

You're making a choice.

You deserve to have
everything you want.

I want you.
