04x16 - Leap of Faith
Posted: 04/23/22 09:39
SARAH:
I missed you so much.
You know I set my vehicle navigation
to French? I kept getting lost.
- Your boyfriend couldn't help you?
- Oh, stop it.
Come on,
you know I was on the rebound.
Besides, I thought
I was never gonna see you again.
I texted you.
- All you had to do was text back.
- I know. I know.
I am sorry.
I should've listened to my heart.
It was fate
that brought us back together.
Of all the galleries in all the towns
in all the world,
I had to walk into yours.
- Casablanca.
- Aww.
Do you think
we're gonna work this time?
- I know we will.
- Yeah?
How long have we got
before your visa runs out?
Six months? A year?
- Let's not talk about that.
- Oh, come on.
God, being with you,
it's a constant leap of faith.
You know,
nothing is certain in this world, Sarah.
All we have is faith.
You know I'm an agnostic.
[TENDER POP MUSIC PLAYING]
REBECCA:
I'm going to the gym.
Hey, you're going to the gym again?
Soon you can bench press me.
Don't panic, I'm just doing cardio.
All right, so I'll just meet you
at my mom's for dinner, right?
Oh, no, I told your mom, I didn't tell you.
I'm gonna have dinner
with my dad tonight.
Maybe you can switch it, my mom's doing
that big dinner for Luc, he just got back.
I know, but so did my dad.
Why don't we have dinner at my mom's
tonight and at your dad's tomorrow?
- That way we can stay together.
- The thing is he's free tonight.
Honestly, I think it'd be good to hang out
with him by myself for a while.
Oh. Okay.
Are you gonna maybe talk about
what happened?
I'm sure we'll talk about lots of things.
I haven't seen him in weeks.
Oh, good. Well, you know,
I think it would be good if you...
Went and spent the entire dinner
talking about my miscarriage?
- Justin, these things happen all the time.
- Okay, Rebecca, not to us.
It's never happened to us.
And every time I try and talk about it,
- you're running out the door.
- I'd rather be at the gym.
I'd rather be having dinner with my dad,
laughing.
- I mean, why can't you understand that?
- I do, I do. I just...
I wanna make sure you're dealing with it.
All right?
Justin, I know you go to your NA meetings
and you talk about everything
and I think that's great.
But I'm fine. I'm good, okay?
So just let me move on. Please.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Bye.
She's got us running around town
like the election is next Tuesday.
I mean, I'm really starting to think
that Buffy doesn't sleep.
- Buffy?
- Buffy McCreary.
You know, my campaign manager?
I mean, how many Buffy's do you know?
- You'd be surprised. What's the problem?
- The problem is we're friends.
And so every time I tell her
that she's bugging the crap out of me,
[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
- She just thinks I'm kidding. Ugh!
- Well, she's just doing her job.
- You hired her to get you out there.
- Well, believe me, I'm out there.
I'm everywhere. Do you know
where I have to go tomorrow?
I have to go to a g*n club in Glendale.
At least you don't have to go to the
Walt Disney Concert Hall with Robert
to watch a rehearsal of Ravel's
"Concerto for the Left Hand."
- That sounds like a date.
- Yes, it is.
You know what? Yesterday,
he made me go with him to Astro Burger
and split a turkey burger and a real burger
so we could be "heart smart" together.
Did you guys do the
two-straw-one-milkshake thing?
It's not funny. He's become clingy
and it's freaking me out.
- It's like we're BFFs suddenly.
- You've gotta give Robert a break,
his term is winding down
and he's not as busy as he used to be,
and he doesn't know
what to do with himself.
What am I supposed to do with myself?
Are you telling me that you wanna
quit now? Because if you do, you...
Telling a U.S. Senator that you wanna
date other people, is not easy.
Come on, Robert is a big boy.
He's gonna be fine. He will handle it.
You know, the truth is,
I'm actually more worried about you.
I mean, Robert's not the only one
who's losing his BFF.
Breaking up is hard to do.
Holly tells me that
you're gonna see her tomorrow.
Yes. Yes, I am.
I can't believe
Dennis York's back in our lives.
And Holly almost sold him
her shares of Ojai Foods.
I know, but she didn't sell it, Nora.
Ojai is ours. That's what's important.
I'm just afraid. When Dennis York wants
something, he finds a way of getting it.
Well, he's not gonna get it this time.
He tried and he failed.
Saul, listen. What if Holly's right?
What if there is something
hidden in the company,
something of value,
and he knows about it?
If that's true, then Dennis is never
gonna go away until he gets it.
SARAH: Mom, where are you?
- Uh, just a second.
Remember,
we're not telling the kids any of this.
As far as they know, just some
random buyer approached Holly.
Would any of them
even remember his name?
Why couldn't he just take no for an answer
and go away?
Hey, hello? The guest of honor
is not really feeling very honored.
Well, I thought the French liked
to take a lot of time when they eat.
They do, between courses.
We haven't even started. Come on.
- Coming. Coming.
SARAH: Get it out there.
- What's up?
- She's just excited to see Luc, that's all.
I'm very happy for you too.
Okay, well, just calm down.
Let's see how it goes.
[SINGING IN FRENCH]
Shh!
Sorry, I was trying
to get the poached eggs just right.
- Salad frisée?
- Yes.
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
Well, excuse me,
I thought he came back for me.
No, he came back for all of us,
right, Luc?
Yeah, our dance steps
have gotten rusty.
That's right. How was the wedding?
I have so much to catch up on.
- Wedding didn't happen.
- Twice.
- First time because of a hurricane.
- Then Kitty fainted on the beach.
Basically, don't ask,
we'll be here all night.
- But everybody's fine now.
- Well, good,
because I can't even tell you
how happy I am to see everyone.
ALL:
Aww.
Hey, what are you doing Saturday?
We never got you on the surfboard.
That's right. You were going to teach me
how to sh**t some pipe
- and get totally hell-munched.
KEVIN: Hell-munched?
NORA:
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Kevin and Scotty and I are taking Luc
to the Huntington Gardens on Saturday.
- But you're invited, Sarah.
- Oh, gee, thanks, Mom.
- You and I have plans, Luc.
- That's right, the movie.
Yes, I got tickets
to the Jean Renoir retrospective.
I think I overbooked myself.
It's not like we know how long
we have you for.
Yeah.
Is there still a problem with your visa?
Yes. My tourist visa is running out.
Kevin made some phone calls for me but...
But he's been in and out of the country
so many times now, they won't renew it.
- Why don't you get hitched?
- "Hitched"?
- What?
- It'd make him a citizen.
- It's like a no-brainer, right?
- It's also a very big step.
SAUL: But you know you love him.
- Come on, get married.
Come on. Stop it.
No, we're not getting married.
I know you would like us to marry so that
you could spend endless time together.
Everybody stop. They're not ready
to talk about marriage yet.
It's to keep him in the country, that's all.
You know what, Justin?
Why don't you marry him?
I'm engaged or I would.
- Oh, Saul, you could marry him.
- Yeah, I could marry him.
Thanks to our state government,
we no longer have that right.
There's a thousand women in this city
that would marry Luc in a heartbeat.
- God knows I'm available.
JUSTIN: Like my mom.
You could get married for a green card.
People do it all the time.
Actually, my art dealer has been offering
to marry me for years now.
- Who? Ginny?
- Yeah, yeah.
- As a business arrangement.
- You never told me that.
No, Luc. You're not really gonna do that.
Mom, it would just be a piece of paper,
that's all.
Sarah, put a stop to this right now.
If it's between that and him being
shipped back to Bordeaux...
What, are you considering this?
Well, he doesn't have that much time.
Wait a second, how long do you have?
I don't know. He won't talk about it.
How long is it, Luc? Six months or?
Um... Actually four weeks.
No, you mean "months."
A week has seven days.
Yeah. I'm sorry,
I didn't wanna worry you.
I was hoping to fix this on my own.
Oh, my God.
NORA:
Don't worry, honey. Don't worry.
We're not gonna let Luc go
without a big fight.
Four weeks?
I'm sorry, Sarah.
MAN:
You can take that. or. .
All right,
you'll pop off a couple dozen rounds,
show these folks
you're handy with that ,
and then we'll mosey on down
to the clubhouse
and drop that speech on them, okay?
Can you please stop talking
like you're on Hee Haw?
All right, boys, don't be shy.
Who wants a shot of Annie Oakley here?
MAN : Right here.
MAN : Here.
That's nice. Smile.
There we go. All right.
Okay, that's good. Back up,
back up, back up. Give her some space.
Did you get those changes in the speech
I sent you yesterday?
[IN SOUTHERN ACCENT] Oh, daggone
it, anyway, you know what I did?
I gone and left it out on the homestead.
Kitty Walker,
you just don't wanna do my changes.
[IN NORMAL VOICE]
You're right. I actually do support
a firearm ban on California convicts.
Hey, you utter the word "ban"
in front of this crowd
and they're gonna be sh**ting
more than just photographs.
- Oh, my God!
- What, did you get shot?
Your shoes. What happened
to the pumps we agreed on?
Oh, my God. This is a g*n club.
I am not about to wear high heels.
Well, then that's so cute.
And quite frankly,
you could use the height.
And since when don't you listen
to my fashion advice?
Since we're not in our -something's.
Okay, now listen to me.
I am running for Senate now.
We are not trolling Georgetown
looking for bars.
Okay, I want the voters to know
that I can make really tough decisions
like what I put on my feet.
- Okay. Well, Kitty...
- [MOUTHS] I can't hear you.
I'm gonna have an opinion
about what's on your feet,
what's on your head,
and everything in between. It's my job.
You don't happen to have
a photo of yourself, do you?
- On me? No. Why?
- No reason.
Bull's-eye.
You think Kitty's shot Buffy yet?
Not yet,
but I give that marriage less than a month.
Robert, do you think we could talk?
- About what?
- Well, uh, it's just, um...
Me. You know, it's just
I'm trying to figure things out...
It's okay. I get it.
- You do?
- Yeah.
I'm not running for governor,
I've given up the Senate seat,
things seem a little up in the air,
and you're wondering how you fit in.
Actually,
I thought maybe now is the time...
Kevin.
Do you remember the meeting I took
with the Institute for Republican Thought?
- An oxymoron, but yes.
- It doesn't exist.
- It was about a job.
- What kind of job?
I can't talk about it.
Wha...? So what, am I supposed to play
questions now?
Suffice it to say, it's an opportunity
that I've been looking for, for a long time,
and most guys,
I mean, they don't even get the call.
All right, Bruce Wayne. Does the job
come with a cape and a mask?
Look, this job is big.
And if it happens, there's gonna be
a place at the table for you.
Robert, you have to give me
more than that.
Can't do it. But look, I just want you
to know that I depend on you.
I mean, we're a team.
You're just gonna have to trust me on it.
What about this trip to Montreal
that William took in ?
Do you know anything about that?
Yes, I do. I was there.
It was the Summer Olympics
and I spent the entire time
trying to figure out
William's fascination for the pentathlon.
Oh, God,
remember William's running phase?
Ah, yes. He would get so cranky if he
didn't get his seven miles in everyday.
He would run from your house
to my house
in one of those hideous neon tracksuits.
Yeah, right. Well, no offense, Holly,
but I really don't think
William's old tracksuits are the key
to saving this company.
I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to say something...
No, it's fine. It's fine. I'm over it.
This treasure hunt
is a big old wild-goose chase.
York told me that there was a boatload
of money under this company.
I mean, he was even willing
to make me a partner.
Yeah, well, I'm not convinced.
Dennis wanted Ojai. I think he would've
said practically anything to get it.
How well did you know him?
I didn't know him very well.
He worked with William, that's all.
William screwed him over
and Dennis went to prison,
and it was all a very long time ago.
- But if you can remember anything...
- Well, I don't remember anything.
I don't remember anything.
And if I do, I will give you a call.
Okay.
Holly, you know, I would appreciate it
if you didn't mention any of this
about Dennis to the kids just yet.
Of course.
Hi. Hello, there. Sorry I'm late.
- Remember Ginny from the gallery?
- Yes, of course. Hi.
Thank you for coming
on such short notice.
I had to get Luc to sign some papers
for the art show in Mexico anyway.
I am loving
the new work he's producing.
He's never been short on inspiration.
On time, maybe.
- Yeah, he said you only have four weeks?
- Yeah.
I guess he told you
I've been offering to marry him for years.
Come on, before Sarah
I never had any good reason.
- So does the offer still stand?
- Yeah.
I mean, if it helps you guys,
I'd be more than happy.
Wow. Okay, what would it entail?
Oh, it's simple. We just go down
to city hall and sign some papers.
You sound like you're getting
a fishing license.
Pretty much, except in this case
they might check up on us periodically,
so we just have to make sure
we look like a real couple.
What, do you just take a bunch
of cute snapshots together?
No. We need, kind of,
to live together for some time.
But we could make it work.
My boyfriend is totally onboard with this.
Oh, you're?
And he doesn't mind you marrying Luc?
I mean, you guys aren't thinking of
one day, you know?
Oh, uh, no. Lee and I,
we would never get married.
And anyway it's a three bedroom,
so this whole arrangement
would be no problem.
You really do sound like
you have thought it through.
We did. Yeah.
- Look, obviously, you guys need to talk.
- Actually, no, I don't think so.
As you said, it's a business arrangement,
I mean, it makes sense.
Okay.
That's the thing, we need to do this
before Ginny goes to Mexico.
Right. We talked about that.
I have to be there for a while
and I think it might look a little suspicious,
Luc getting married
a couple of days before his visa runs out.
Ah. Yes. Good point.
- So when do you have to leave?
- Well, tomorrow.
Oh. That would mean
you'd have to get married...
Today.
That would be soon.
Look, we can talk about it some more
if you want.
No, I'm fine. I'm fine.
This afternoon is great.
I can't make it,
I've gotta get back to work.
But it's not like you need me there
anyway.
This afternoon it is.
- Okay.
- Should we make it official?
Monsieur?
Okay.
Voilà.
Congratulations.
I know the last person in the world
you wanna hear about is Dennis York,
but you are giving him too much power.
He can't do anything to hurt us, Nora.
- Yeah.
- Nora, you're being paranoid, I mean it.
You forget how far back this all goes.
And the person who was there
from the very beginning was Dennis York.
Right, I know.
I'm sure that Dennis did things for William
that are best left where they are,
but as you said,
that was a lifetime ago, Nora.
Who would even care about that?
And anyway,
he'd only be implicating himself.
What if he goes after the kids?
What?
What are you talking about, the kids?
Oh, I don't know. Nothing.
I'm being paranoid.
Saul, would you do me a favor?
Would you find out where he is?
I need to know if he's gone or not.
Of course, sweetheart.
Yes, I will. I'll take care of it.
Just...
[DOOR KNOCKS]
Saul, are we gonna have a chance
to go over these?
Why is it that every time
I walk into a room,
you two look like you're having
a very private conversation?
Well, actually we were talking about
you and Luc.
Yeah, is everything all right?
Have you gotten rid of that whole
ridiculous green-card marriage thing?
Uh, not exactly.
- Where's the car, Buffy?
- That was Brian. He'll be here any sec.
Oh, my goodness. Look at that.
It's a little g*n.
"Straight sh**t." Oh, isn't that cute?
If he's late because
he went to go pick up my high heels,
- I promise you I will k*ll you.
- Honey, the heels will be worth it.
[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
Oh, my God. We're not gonna have time
to make that yacht club.
We're gonna have to cancel.
Are you kidding? Republicans love boats.
Plus, those people...
You know what? I'm the candidate
and I say we reschedule. We reschedule.
- No can do, little lady.
- Little what?
Don't start pouting.
I'm just doing my job.
No. You know what? No, you're not.
You're not anymore. You're not.
You know what you are? You're fired.
- What?
- You're fired, you're fired, you're fired.
Okay, hey, hey.
I know you gave up decaf, okay? I get it.
- Buffy, I'm serious.
- Oh, honey, I know you're serious.
And normally, I'd act all hurt
and I'd scurry off to the hotel,
and I'd wait for you
to apologize tomorrow,
but frankly, our schedule
doesn't allow us such luxuries.
So why don't we just chalk this up as done
and behind us and move on, okay?
No. No, no. Not... Not... No.
No, no. Not... Not okay.
This is the thing. Do you see the problem?
Do you see the problem?
You're not listening to me.
I am firing you
and you're still not listening to me.
Buffy, I mean it. We have to part ways.
No, I can't do it.
It would be disastrous to this campaign.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES]
Here's what I'm gonna do.
- I'm gonna take this call.
- Yes.
And when I turn around
you're gonna be gone.
Hello?
NORA: Kitty, it's us.
- Hi, Kitty.
- Hi.
- Listen, Kitty, we need your help.
Luc is marrying his art dealer
in two hours.
- What?
- For his green card.
Mom, would you just calm down?
Listen, Kitty, this is a good thing.
No, no, no. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute, Sarah.
There is nothing good
about a green-card marriage.
- Green card marriage?
- Shh! Shh!
SARAH: All I wanted to do
was discuss the sales projections.
I don't even know why I told you.
Listen, Kitty, we need you to help us
figure out what she should do.
Is that Sarah?
Is she gonna marry the French guy?
- Would you go away?
SARAH: You need to understand my reality.
- Luc's visa will run out in four weeks.
- But that's four weeks.
Honey, you should tell him to wait.
We'll figure out something for you guys
to do. I don't want you to get hurt.
Mom, I will be hurt
if my boyfriend is deported.
Okay? It's a business transaction.
Sarah, why don't you just marry Luc?
Why would you even ask me that?
What is wrong with you people?
Because if I were ever to marry Luc,
it would be because I would like
to spend the rest of my life with him.
Not for a green card.
So in the meantime,
he's marrying his art dealer.
Yes. Exactly.
Do you wanna know where we are?
We're back at Cranberry Ball. Remember?
- Remember Michael Mizlanski?
- Yeah.
Yeah, well, you were afraid
to ask him to the dance
so he went ahead
and asked somebody else.
- Suzy Long.
KITTY: Yup.
- And Suzy and Michael are married now.
- Really?
- Hey, could I get an update, please?
- Would you...? No. I fired you.
NORA:
Sarah, listen to me.
Do you love him?
See, why should I even
have to say that out loud?
We've been back together
barely a week.
- Sarah, do you love him?
- I don't know. Probably.
- Probably?
- Yes, yes. I love him. Okay?
- Sweetheart, that's wonderful.
- No, it's not wonderful, Mom.
Because life is a lot more
complicated than that.
He knows that I love him.
I told him that I loved him a long time ago,
but it was still too hard and he left me,
and he went back to France.
Yeah, but he came back.
That's the thing, Sarah,
he's doing all of this for you.
- We've gotta go to city hall.
- We have to go to city hall.
SARAH: Kitty, meet us there.
- Yeah. No, I can.
NORA: Meet us at city hall.
- I'll be there as soon as I get my car.
- What's going on?
- I have a wedding to stop. I need my car.
- This is me getting your car. Hello?
- Buffy, I need...
- Brian, we need it now.
- Hurry up.
[DOOR KNOCKS]
- Hey, world traveler.
- Hi.
- Hey, welcome back.
- Thanks.
- Is Rebecca here?
- Rebecca's not here. No.
Just me.
Oh, I just wanted to check in.
I'm sorry about the miscarriage.
You doing okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I guess.
You know, it was a tough week.
How's Rebecca doing?
Uh, I don't know. Every time I try
and talk to her, she's out the door,
so you would probably know
better than I do.
No. She's not answering her cell phone,
so everything I hear
is pretty much secondhand from Holly.
That's why I was hoping
to see her today.
Wait, didn't you have dinner with her
last night?
Last night? No, I just came here
from the airport. My stuff's still in the car.
What's going on?
I don't know. Last night she said
she was having dinner with you.
That's not true.
Well, do you know where she is?
No.
No.
Kevin.
Yeah.
- You have my memo for the committee?
- Nope.
What've you been doing?
Something big.
Oh, I updated your web page.
I thought "Robert McCallister,
U.S. Senator" was a little too specific,
so now it just says, "Robert, a man."
I don't think the Californians
who support you
should know too much
about what it is you do.
Runners-up did include: "Robert
McCallister, National Man of Mystery"
and "McCallister:
Don't ask, he won't tell."
- All right, all right. Shut the door.
- Should we go down to the Batcave?
I told you, I'll tell you about this job
when I can talk about it.
- So what am I to do in the meantime?
- Your job.
- Robert, I feel trapped.
- Trapped?
Yes. And this whole best-buddy routine
does not make things any easier.
- Do you wanna go to couple's therapy?
- No, I do not.
I would like you to take this seriously.
Then maybe you should be
a little more direct.
I wanna move on.
And I'm sorry,
it doesn't matter what this new job is.
It doesn't matter what it is.
It would be your dream and not mine.
- I accept your resignation.
- Excuse me?
I mean, isn't that what you're saying?
You wanna go, go.
I mean, I'm just unhappy
to hear that you're so miserable.
But if you want your freedom,
you should have it.
I mean, by all means,
I wish you nothing but the best.
Fine. Two weeks' notice okay?
Don't worry about it.
Consider today your last day.
Okay. Here are your talking points.
Go easy on Espinoza,
I hear he's about to lose the finance chair,
so he might be a little sensitive
on spending.
- Oh, Kevin?
- Yeah.
Write out your letter of resignation,
make it official.
- Fine.
- Good.
SAUL:
Holly.
Listen, I'm wondering
if you've heard anymore about York.
No, he hasn't contacted me,
- but I can't stop thinking about him.
- What do you mean?
Well, I finally realized
that I was doing this all wrong.
I spent all this time
going over all the files of Ojai
when I should have been
investigating York.
Look at this.
"Narrow Lake Development Group."
Two weeks ago, when he thought
that I was gonna sell him my shares,
he filed for a DBA under that name.
Right. So what does that mean?
I found this bill from .
A geological survey William was doing
on several parcels of land.
- Including one named...
- "Narrow Lake."
- Doesn't that mean anything to you?
- No.
York wanted Ojai
so he could get Narrow Lake.
- So this is it.
- Now, all we need to know is where it is.
I mean, it's not mentioned
in any of the other Ojai files.
Just this survey for $ .
I don't know.
It's as if the purchase was covered up.
Right. So William looked at a lot of land
in those days.
He must have surveyed
thousands of acres
and some of them
weren't even in California.
- Then we have our work cut out for us.
- Right.
But at least we know
we're not kidding ourselves.
At least we know what we're looking for.
At last I feel that we are getting ahead
of Dennis York.
Oh, I can't wait to tell Nora.
Listen, let me tell her, okay?
I'm gonna see her tonight.
Okay.
She's gonna be really excited.
Hey.
Don't let me interrupt,
I'm just grabbing a snack.
Rebecca, what's going on?
- What do you mean?
- Your father stopped by.
He just got in this morning.
- You're unbelievable.
- Where were you last night?
Last I checked, I didn't need to ask
permission to leave the apartment.
Rebecca, where have you been going?
I just wanna find out what's going on.
Justin, nothing has been going on.
I'm sorry if I wasn't raised in a family
of brothers and sisters
who blab about their feelings all the time.
I don't even think that's healthy.
I think when something bad happens,
you get up and get moving.
- That's what I'm doing.
- But where are you going?
- That's what I'm asking you.
- I have a dance class!
You haven't been dancing
since you were years old.
Yeah, well...
You wanna know where I'm going?
I'm going to th and Fairfax,
if you must know.
I'll be there every night until I'm not.
Kevin, you have to help me.
I don't know what it is you think I can do,
Buffy.
Talk to Kitty. How am I supposed
to do my job if she keeps firing me?
I don't think she wants you to do your job.
That's...
[DOOR KNOCKS]
I'm on the phone with Kitty.
She's at city hall...
Good Lord.
Tell me they haven't gotten married yet.
KITTY: Is that Buffy?
- Yes, it is.
Oh, my God.
What do I have to do to get rid of her?
We have to find a map.
Oh, God, he's still not answering
his phone, Mom.
- This is political su1c1de.
ROBERT: Listen, I agree with her.
Yes, Robert, of course. That's what
we're doing here. We're trying to stop him.
- .
KITTY: .
We're going through the x-ray machine.
I gotta go. I gotta go.
NORA:
What in the world?
What are you still doing here?
I'm packing.
I'll be gone by the end of the day.
Well, take everything.
I'm gonna need this office
for the next guy.
Are you crying?
You guys love each other.
Don't you get it?
Would you pull yourself together?
It's embarrassing.
What is taking so long?
Seriously, do they think this little old lady
is gonna blow up the building?
Maybe it's a sign that Ginny and Luc
are supposed to get married.
- Just stop.
KITTY: That's ridiculous, Sarah.
Pardon me, ma'am,
could we go ahead of you?
We're in an awful hurry.
My daughter has to stop a wedding
that's gonna happen in minutes here.
I'd rather not get involved.
- No, no, no, please.
- We'll pay you.
- Fifty bucks.
- Forty.
- Mom.
- Okay, .
SARAH: Thank you.
- Fifty. Done. Forty and . There you go.
- Thank you so much. All right. In we go.
- Thank you.
Okay, got mine.
Come on, Mom. Mom. Go, go, go.
[DETECTOR BEEPING]
- Okay. What?
- Stop right there, miss.
- Code . Firearm.
- What's happening?
GUARD: Is this your bag, ma'am?
- I don't... Oh, oh, oh!
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
This is actually kind of funny.
- It's not a real g*n. I was...
GUARD: I need you to stand over here.
No, I won it today.
I was at an award thing. It's a plaque.
I won it as an award. It's not a real g*n.
I can show it to you if you...
GUARD :
Excuse me. Step over there.
- We really need to...
- I need you to stay right there.
No. You don't understand.
It's not a real g*n. It's...
- You need to listen to my daughter.
- You too, ma'am. Stay right here.
- Oh, my God. I can't believe this.
GUARD : We're Code here.
TEACHER:
And stretch.
Plié. Passé.
Relevé. Sous-sus.
And turn.
Other side.
Plié. Passé.
Relevé.
Sous-sus.
Other side.
Again.
Relevé.
And second. Hold.
Hold.
Sous-sus.
Other side. Again.
Plié. And stretch. Plié.
GIRL : I'll see you guys later.
GIRL : Yeah, that'd be great, I'm starving.
[CHATTERING]
Are you my stalker now?
I'm not stalking you.
You gave me the address.
So I figured I'd come watch you dance.
No, Justin, what are you doing here?
I told you I need space.
Rebecca, first of all, all I do
is give you space, but it's not helping.
Well, you can't help me.
I have to do this on my own.
- Okay, well, is this helping? The dancing?
- Yes. Yes.
No. I don't know.
I used to be good at this.
This used to be easy for me.
Now I can barely stay on my feet.
Okay, well, maybe...
Maybe it's just too soon.
I thought that if I went back to doing
something that I knew I was good at
that it would all make sense,
but it doesn't.
It's too hard.
My body keeps letting me down.
I feel so broken.
I'm sorry.
What are we gonna do now?
I guess we try again.
We start over.
I don't know if I can do that.
All right, look, Rebecca,
you're talking to a recovering drug addict.
I know a thing or two about starting over.
And you know what? It takes time.
All right? And sometimes you gotta
go back to the basics and work the steps.
But we can do it.
I promise you that.
Just don't give up.
- Oh, hey. You're home early.
- Yeah.
Could you sit down for a second?
Okay.
What's with the box?
I quit today.
- Kevin.
- I know.
I'm sorry.
I should have discussed it with you first.
You realize we're in the greatest
economic downturn since the Depression.
I know. I know.
I had to do it. I just had to do it.
I don't know what's happening to me,
but I couldn't be this person anymore.
Okay, well, I mea... If...
I guess we knew this was coming, right?
Yeah, just not today.
Well, we'll figure it out.
Thank you.
Look at me. I'm years old.
I thought I would've had things
figured out by now.
Kevin, you're talking to somebody
who used to sleep in his car.
- Feeling lost and aimless?
- Yeah.
Join the club.
It's like standard operating procedure
for the rest of us.
- You're not mad?
- Of course not.
- I'm proud of you. You did a brave thing.
- I don't feel brave.
I practically ran out of there.
I didn't even say goodbye.
Well, that's just wrong.
I know, but I'll call Robert tomorrow.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
- Oh, my God. It's him.
- Well, answer it.
- I don't want to.
- Kevin, what are you, ?
Uh...
Hello? Oh, hi.
What, right now?
Sure. I'll come over.
- What does he want?
- I have no idea.
Sir, could you tell me
where they took my daughter?
It's too late, Mom.
They'll already be married.
No, don't say that.
Honey, you saw that line downstairs.
Everything in this building
moves like molasses.
I can't believe
I pulled another Cranberry Ball.
No, you haven't.
It's not like he's left the country.
- You can still tell him how you feel.
- He has a wife and I know it's not true,
but why do I feel so sick about it?
Because you're in love with this man
and you don't want him
to marry anyone else but you.
Mm. You tried to tell me that.
I couldn't hear it.
Look, Sarah, if we don't make it
and we're too late,
and Luc and Ginny are married,
it doesn't matter.
Do you hear me? It doesn't matter.
You just have to work very hard
from now on to be honest with yourself.
And honest with him.
If you feel something, anything,
you can't be afraid to tell him,
whether it's good or bad.
The two of you love each other,
any moron could see that.
And you both have to work very hard
to protect it.
- It's not too late?
- No.
Thanks, Mom.
Doesn't this move you in any way?
Ma'am, I watch Oprah.
Nothing surprises me.
- Okay. We're free.
- Oh, my God. We're free.
- Just a little mix-up, ladies.
- Okay.
Mrs. McCallister,
you definitely have my vote.
- Well, thank you.
KITTY: Is he married yet?
- How the hell do I know?
SARAH: We can still make it.
NORA: Come on. Let's go.
KITTY: Okay.
Kitty McCallister, Senator, .
OFFICIANT: This woman and this man
have come before us
to be joined in the state of matrimony.
Witnessed invested before me
in the state of California.
Take hands and repeat after me. L...
SARAH: Luc.
- Sarah?
NORA: Is he married yet?
- Excuse me.
- They're with me.
- Who are you?
- She's with him.
- Um, Sarah?
Luc, I'm sorry.
I'm not cool with this. I thought I was.
I tried to be, but I'm not.
I'm not.
But then I started thinking I was afraid,
and there was Suzy Long,
and you came back for me.
- Sarah, English is not his first language.
- Luc, I love you.
I love you too.
Wait, are you two gonna
get married now?
- No.
- No, we're not.
SARAH: Don't tell me you have
never seen The Graduate.
Well, Dustin Hoffman is madly in love
with this girl, Elaine.
But she's about to marry the wrong guy.
So he bursts into the church
and she leaves the other guy at the altar.
- Yeah, so what happened next?
- That's it.
- Mm.
- They just stare at each other.
And then they get this look over their faces
like, "What have we done?"
SAUL: Nora.
NORA: Yes, I'm in here.
SAUL: Oh, good. Hi.
- Hi.
God, I wish you'd been there.
What a riot.
I think it's easier to plan a wedding
than it is to stop one.
Listen, we have to talk.
- What?
- Have you ever heard of Narrow Lake?
- Why?
- William must have bought it in .
Listen to this. Holly found out
that York opened a Doing Business As
under that name, Narrow Lake.
We think this might be pay dirt, Nora.
- Yes, I've heard of Narrow Lake.
- You have? Well, that's great.
That's great.
So do you know where it is?
No.
[SINGING]
It's a song.
William used to sing it all the time.
- It's a song.
- It's just a little ditty.
This could be the hidden value
of Ojai Foods, Nora.
- Did you find out where he is?
- York?
No, no.
He was staying at a hotel downtown.
He checked out a few weeks ago.
He'll be back.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God, Buffy.
- You just don't go away.
- Consider me fired.
- Really?
- Yes, I was just dropping off some wine,
as a thank-you gift for giving me a shot.
Are you trying to make me feel guilty?
Because I do.
No, I'm not. I'm not. Really.
I just wanted to tell you that I love you
and I'm gonna miss you.
- Really?
- Really.
I guess I'll leave you to it.
And I dropped a C-note on this wine,
so promise me you'll drink it with Robert
and not on a campaign bus.
Oh, no, no. That's not gonna happen
because I think you and I
have to drink this bottle together.
- You know me, I never turn down a drink.
- True. True.
But I'm not gonna
hold your hair back this time.
Oh, no, no. I can drink.
I'm good at it now.
I know you think this is a good idea,
but I don't wanna know what this job is.
You know me and my family,
we can't keep secrets.
Yeah, but you deserve to know.
And there's no pressure.
- You can still leave if you want.
- Why did I have to come back here?
Because we needed a secure room.
I've had my office swept for bugs.
Swept for bugs?
Robert, please don't tell me.
Don't worry.
I've had you cleared for this information.
Okay, you know what? I can't be trusted.
I'm actually ticklish.
I'd be one feather away
from telling al Qaeda everything.
It doesn't matter,
I'm not gonna change my mind.
No, I'm not gonna change my mind.
I'm not...
WOMAN: We're gonna miss you.
MAN: We're gonna miss you, Kevin.
- Great job.
ROBERT: All right. Get this man a drink.
Um...
Kevin and I have been through a lot.
A campaign, a heart attack,
a few scandals.
[CROWD CHUCKLES]
And we have disagreed.
We disagree a lot.
Kevin has done more than argue,
he's taught us
that our beliefs are worth fighting for.
Even if we don't know exactly
where they're gonna take us.
Kevin, you can't possibly know
how you've transformed our work
and our lives.
And from now when I have to make
a decision, I'm gonna take a moment...
Not a big one, not like,
you know, forever.
But I'm gonna take a moment
and I'm gonna ask myself:
"What would Kevin do?"
To Kevin Walker.
My brother.
To whatever you do in the future.
In politics, as in life, there are no endings,
only new beginnings.
Here's to the start of something new.
[CROWD CLAPS]
You didn't really think I was gonna tell you
about the job, did you?
- I hate you.
- Ha-ha-ha.
Danny.
[UPLIFTING ACOUSTIC MUSIC
PLAYING]
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
- Do you have any regrets?
- About today?
Remember when I said
we need to have faith?
Mm-hm.
And you said
I was talking to an agnostic.
Yeah.
I know now it's not true.
- You believe in us.
- I do.
Four weeks.
Four weeks.
Four weeks.
I missed you so much.
You know I set my vehicle navigation
to French? I kept getting lost.
- Your boyfriend couldn't help you?
- Oh, stop it.
Come on,
you know I was on the rebound.
Besides, I thought
I was never gonna see you again.
I texted you.
- All you had to do was text back.
- I know. I know.
I am sorry.
I should've listened to my heart.
It was fate
that brought us back together.
Of all the galleries in all the towns
in all the world,
I had to walk into yours.
- Casablanca.
- Aww.
Do you think
we're gonna work this time?
- I know we will.
- Yeah?
How long have we got
before your visa runs out?
Six months? A year?
- Let's not talk about that.
- Oh, come on.
God, being with you,
it's a constant leap of faith.
You know,
nothing is certain in this world, Sarah.
All we have is faith.
You know I'm an agnostic.
[TENDER POP MUSIC PLAYING]
REBECCA:
I'm going to the gym.
Hey, you're going to the gym again?
Soon you can bench press me.
Don't panic, I'm just doing cardio.
All right, so I'll just meet you
at my mom's for dinner, right?
Oh, no, I told your mom, I didn't tell you.
I'm gonna have dinner
with my dad tonight.
Maybe you can switch it, my mom's doing
that big dinner for Luc, he just got back.
I know, but so did my dad.
Why don't we have dinner at my mom's
tonight and at your dad's tomorrow?
- That way we can stay together.
- The thing is he's free tonight.
Honestly, I think it'd be good to hang out
with him by myself for a while.
Oh. Okay.
Are you gonna maybe talk about
what happened?
I'm sure we'll talk about lots of things.
I haven't seen him in weeks.
Oh, good. Well, you know,
I think it would be good if you...
Went and spent the entire dinner
talking about my miscarriage?
- Justin, these things happen all the time.
- Okay, Rebecca, not to us.
It's never happened to us.
And every time I try and talk about it,
- you're running out the door.
- I'd rather be at the gym.
I'd rather be having dinner with my dad,
laughing.
- I mean, why can't you understand that?
- I do, I do. I just...
I wanna make sure you're dealing with it.
All right?
Justin, I know you go to your NA meetings
and you talk about everything
and I think that's great.
But I'm fine. I'm good, okay?
So just let me move on. Please.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Bye.
She's got us running around town
like the election is next Tuesday.
I mean, I'm really starting to think
that Buffy doesn't sleep.
- Buffy?
- Buffy McCreary.
You know, my campaign manager?
I mean, how many Buffy's do you know?
- You'd be surprised. What's the problem?
- The problem is we're friends.
And so every time I tell her
that she's bugging the crap out of me,
[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
- She just thinks I'm kidding. Ugh!
- Well, she's just doing her job.
- You hired her to get you out there.
- Well, believe me, I'm out there.
I'm everywhere. Do you know
where I have to go tomorrow?
I have to go to a g*n club in Glendale.
At least you don't have to go to the
Walt Disney Concert Hall with Robert
to watch a rehearsal of Ravel's
"Concerto for the Left Hand."
- That sounds like a date.
- Yes, it is.
You know what? Yesterday,
he made me go with him to Astro Burger
and split a turkey burger and a real burger
so we could be "heart smart" together.
Did you guys do the
two-straw-one-milkshake thing?
It's not funny. He's become clingy
and it's freaking me out.
- It's like we're BFFs suddenly.
- You've gotta give Robert a break,
his term is winding down
and he's not as busy as he used to be,
and he doesn't know
what to do with himself.
What am I supposed to do with myself?
Are you telling me that you wanna
quit now? Because if you do, you...
Telling a U.S. Senator that you wanna
date other people, is not easy.
Come on, Robert is a big boy.
He's gonna be fine. He will handle it.
You know, the truth is,
I'm actually more worried about you.
I mean, Robert's not the only one
who's losing his BFF.
Breaking up is hard to do.
Holly tells me that
you're gonna see her tomorrow.
Yes. Yes, I am.
I can't believe
Dennis York's back in our lives.
And Holly almost sold him
her shares of Ojai Foods.
I know, but she didn't sell it, Nora.
Ojai is ours. That's what's important.
I'm just afraid. When Dennis York wants
something, he finds a way of getting it.
Well, he's not gonna get it this time.
He tried and he failed.
Saul, listen. What if Holly's right?
What if there is something
hidden in the company,
something of value,
and he knows about it?
If that's true, then Dennis is never
gonna go away until he gets it.
SARAH: Mom, where are you?
- Uh, just a second.
Remember,
we're not telling the kids any of this.
As far as they know, just some
random buyer approached Holly.
Would any of them
even remember his name?
Why couldn't he just take no for an answer
and go away?
Hey, hello? The guest of honor
is not really feeling very honored.
Well, I thought the French liked
to take a lot of time when they eat.
They do, between courses.
We haven't even started. Come on.
- Coming. Coming.
SARAH: Get it out there.
- What's up?
- She's just excited to see Luc, that's all.
I'm very happy for you too.
Okay, well, just calm down.
Let's see how it goes.
[SINGING IN FRENCH]
Shh!
Sorry, I was trying
to get the poached eggs just right.
- Salad frisée?
- Yes.
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
Well, excuse me,
I thought he came back for me.
No, he came back for all of us,
right, Luc?
Yeah, our dance steps
have gotten rusty.
That's right. How was the wedding?
I have so much to catch up on.
- Wedding didn't happen.
- Twice.
- First time because of a hurricane.
- Then Kitty fainted on the beach.
Basically, don't ask,
we'll be here all night.
- But everybody's fine now.
- Well, good,
because I can't even tell you
how happy I am to see everyone.
ALL:
Aww.
Hey, what are you doing Saturday?
We never got you on the surfboard.
That's right. You were going to teach me
how to sh**t some pipe
- and get totally hell-munched.
KEVIN: Hell-munched?
NORA:
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Kevin and Scotty and I are taking Luc
to the Huntington Gardens on Saturday.
- But you're invited, Sarah.
- Oh, gee, thanks, Mom.
- You and I have plans, Luc.
- That's right, the movie.
Yes, I got tickets
to the Jean Renoir retrospective.
I think I overbooked myself.
It's not like we know how long
we have you for.
Yeah.
Is there still a problem with your visa?
Yes. My tourist visa is running out.
Kevin made some phone calls for me but...
But he's been in and out of the country
so many times now, they won't renew it.
- Why don't you get hitched?
- "Hitched"?
- What?
- It'd make him a citizen.
- It's like a no-brainer, right?
- It's also a very big step.
SAUL: But you know you love him.
- Come on, get married.
Come on. Stop it.
No, we're not getting married.
I know you would like us to marry so that
you could spend endless time together.
Everybody stop. They're not ready
to talk about marriage yet.
It's to keep him in the country, that's all.
You know what, Justin?
Why don't you marry him?
I'm engaged or I would.
- Oh, Saul, you could marry him.
- Yeah, I could marry him.
Thanks to our state government,
we no longer have that right.
There's a thousand women in this city
that would marry Luc in a heartbeat.
- God knows I'm available.
JUSTIN: Like my mom.
You could get married for a green card.
People do it all the time.
Actually, my art dealer has been offering
to marry me for years now.
- Who? Ginny?
- Yeah, yeah.
- As a business arrangement.
- You never told me that.
No, Luc. You're not really gonna do that.
Mom, it would just be a piece of paper,
that's all.
Sarah, put a stop to this right now.
If it's between that and him being
shipped back to Bordeaux...
What, are you considering this?
Well, he doesn't have that much time.
Wait a second, how long do you have?
I don't know. He won't talk about it.
How long is it, Luc? Six months or?
Um... Actually four weeks.
No, you mean "months."
A week has seven days.
Yeah. I'm sorry,
I didn't wanna worry you.
I was hoping to fix this on my own.
Oh, my God.
NORA:
Don't worry, honey. Don't worry.
We're not gonna let Luc go
without a big fight.
Four weeks?
I'm sorry, Sarah.
MAN:
You can take that. or. .
All right,
you'll pop off a couple dozen rounds,
show these folks
you're handy with that ,
and then we'll mosey on down
to the clubhouse
and drop that speech on them, okay?
Can you please stop talking
like you're on Hee Haw?
All right, boys, don't be shy.
Who wants a shot of Annie Oakley here?
MAN : Right here.
MAN : Here.
That's nice. Smile.
There we go. All right.
Okay, that's good. Back up,
back up, back up. Give her some space.
Did you get those changes in the speech
I sent you yesterday?
[IN SOUTHERN ACCENT] Oh, daggone
it, anyway, you know what I did?
I gone and left it out on the homestead.
Kitty Walker,
you just don't wanna do my changes.
[IN NORMAL VOICE]
You're right. I actually do support
a firearm ban on California convicts.
Hey, you utter the word "ban"
in front of this crowd
and they're gonna be sh**ting
more than just photographs.
- Oh, my God!
- What, did you get shot?
Your shoes. What happened
to the pumps we agreed on?
Oh, my God. This is a g*n club.
I am not about to wear high heels.
Well, then that's so cute.
And quite frankly,
you could use the height.
And since when don't you listen
to my fashion advice?
Since we're not in our -something's.
Okay, now listen to me.
I am running for Senate now.
We are not trolling Georgetown
looking for bars.
Okay, I want the voters to know
that I can make really tough decisions
like what I put on my feet.
- Okay. Well, Kitty...
- [MOUTHS] I can't hear you.
I'm gonna have an opinion
about what's on your feet,
what's on your head,
and everything in between. It's my job.
You don't happen to have
a photo of yourself, do you?
- On me? No. Why?
- No reason.
Bull's-eye.
You think Kitty's shot Buffy yet?
Not yet,
but I give that marriage less than a month.
Robert, do you think we could talk?
- About what?
- Well, uh, it's just, um...
Me. You know, it's just
I'm trying to figure things out...
It's okay. I get it.
- You do?
- Yeah.
I'm not running for governor,
I've given up the Senate seat,
things seem a little up in the air,
and you're wondering how you fit in.
Actually,
I thought maybe now is the time...
Kevin.
Do you remember the meeting I took
with the Institute for Republican Thought?
- An oxymoron, but yes.
- It doesn't exist.
- It was about a job.
- What kind of job?
I can't talk about it.
Wha...? So what, am I supposed to play
questions now?
Suffice it to say, it's an opportunity
that I've been looking for, for a long time,
and most guys,
I mean, they don't even get the call.
All right, Bruce Wayne. Does the job
come with a cape and a mask?
Look, this job is big.
And if it happens, there's gonna be
a place at the table for you.
Robert, you have to give me
more than that.
Can't do it. But look, I just want you
to know that I depend on you.
I mean, we're a team.
You're just gonna have to trust me on it.
What about this trip to Montreal
that William took in ?
Do you know anything about that?
Yes, I do. I was there.
It was the Summer Olympics
and I spent the entire time
trying to figure out
William's fascination for the pentathlon.
Oh, God,
remember William's running phase?
Ah, yes. He would get so cranky if he
didn't get his seven miles in everyday.
He would run from your house
to my house
in one of those hideous neon tracksuits.
Yeah, right. Well, no offense, Holly,
but I really don't think
William's old tracksuits are the key
to saving this company.
I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to say something...
No, it's fine. It's fine. I'm over it.
This treasure hunt
is a big old wild-goose chase.
York told me that there was a boatload
of money under this company.
I mean, he was even willing
to make me a partner.
Yeah, well, I'm not convinced.
Dennis wanted Ojai. I think he would've
said practically anything to get it.
How well did you know him?
I didn't know him very well.
He worked with William, that's all.
William screwed him over
and Dennis went to prison,
and it was all a very long time ago.
- But if you can remember anything...
- Well, I don't remember anything.
I don't remember anything.
And if I do, I will give you a call.
Okay.
Holly, you know, I would appreciate it
if you didn't mention any of this
about Dennis to the kids just yet.
Of course.
Hi. Hello, there. Sorry I'm late.
- Remember Ginny from the gallery?
- Yes, of course. Hi.
Thank you for coming
on such short notice.
I had to get Luc to sign some papers
for the art show in Mexico anyway.
I am loving
the new work he's producing.
He's never been short on inspiration.
On time, maybe.
- Yeah, he said you only have four weeks?
- Yeah.
I guess he told you
I've been offering to marry him for years.
Come on, before Sarah
I never had any good reason.
- So does the offer still stand?
- Yeah.
I mean, if it helps you guys,
I'd be more than happy.
Wow. Okay, what would it entail?
Oh, it's simple. We just go down
to city hall and sign some papers.
You sound like you're getting
a fishing license.
Pretty much, except in this case
they might check up on us periodically,
so we just have to make sure
we look like a real couple.
What, do you just take a bunch
of cute snapshots together?
No. We need, kind of,
to live together for some time.
But we could make it work.
My boyfriend is totally onboard with this.
Oh, you're?
And he doesn't mind you marrying Luc?
I mean, you guys aren't thinking of
one day, you know?
Oh, uh, no. Lee and I,
we would never get married.
And anyway it's a three bedroom,
so this whole arrangement
would be no problem.
You really do sound like
you have thought it through.
We did. Yeah.
- Look, obviously, you guys need to talk.
- Actually, no, I don't think so.
As you said, it's a business arrangement,
I mean, it makes sense.
Okay.
That's the thing, we need to do this
before Ginny goes to Mexico.
Right. We talked about that.
I have to be there for a while
and I think it might look a little suspicious,
Luc getting married
a couple of days before his visa runs out.
Ah. Yes. Good point.
- So when do you have to leave?
- Well, tomorrow.
Oh. That would mean
you'd have to get married...
Today.
That would be soon.
Look, we can talk about it some more
if you want.
No, I'm fine. I'm fine.
This afternoon is great.
I can't make it,
I've gotta get back to work.
But it's not like you need me there
anyway.
This afternoon it is.
- Okay.
- Should we make it official?
Monsieur?
Okay.
Voilà.
Congratulations.
I know the last person in the world
you wanna hear about is Dennis York,
but you are giving him too much power.
He can't do anything to hurt us, Nora.
- Yeah.
- Nora, you're being paranoid, I mean it.
You forget how far back this all goes.
And the person who was there
from the very beginning was Dennis York.
Right, I know.
I'm sure that Dennis did things for William
that are best left where they are,
but as you said,
that was a lifetime ago, Nora.
Who would even care about that?
And anyway,
he'd only be implicating himself.
What if he goes after the kids?
What?
What are you talking about, the kids?
Oh, I don't know. Nothing.
I'm being paranoid.
Saul, would you do me a favor?
Would you find out where he is?
I need to know if he's gone or not.
Of course, sweetheart.
Yes, I will. I'll take care of it.
Just...
[DOOR KNOCKS]
Saul, are we gonna have a chance
to go over these?
Why is it that every time
I walk into a room,
you two look like you're having
a very private conversation?
Well, actually we were talking about
you and Luc.
Yeah, is everything all right?
Have you gotten rid of that whole
ridiculous green-card marriage thing?
Uh, not exactly.
- Where's the car, Buffy?
- That was Brian. He'll be here any sec.
Oh, my goodness. Look at that.
It's a little g*n.
"Straight sh**t." Oh, isn't that cute?
If he's late because
he went to go pick up my high heels,
- I promise you I will k*ll you.
- Honey, the heels will be worth it.
[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
Oh, my God. We're not gonna have time
to make that yacht club.
We're gonna have to cancel.
Are you kidding? Republicans love boats.
Plus, those people...
You know what? I'm the candidate
and I say we reschedule. We reschedule.
- No can do, little lady.
- Little what?
Don't start pouting.
I'm just doing my job.
No. You know what? No, you're not.
You're not anymore. You're not.
You know what you are? You're fired.
- What?
- You're fired, you're fired, you're fired.
Okay, hey, hey.
I know you gave up decaf, okay? I get it.
- Buffy, I'm serious.
- Oh, honey, I know you're serious.
And normally, I'd act all hurt
and I'd scurry off to the hotel,
and I'd wait for you
to apologize tomorrow,
but frankly, our schedule
doesn't allow us such luxuries.
So why don't we just chalk this up as done
and behind us and move on, okay?
No. No, no. Not... Not... No.
No, no. Not... Not okay.
This is the thing. Do you see the problem?
Do you see the problem?
You're not listening to me.
I am firing you
and you're still not listening to me.
Buffy, I mean it. We have to part ways.
No, I can't do it.
It would be disastrous to this campaign.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES]
Here's what I'm gonna do.
- I'm gonna take this call.
- Yes.
And when I turn around
you're gonna be gone.
Hello?
NORA: Kitty, it's us.
- Hi, Kitty.
- Hi.
- Listen, Kitty, we need your help.
Luc is marrying his art dealer
in two hours.
- What?
- For his green card.
Mom, would you just calm down?
Listen, Kitty, this is a good thing.
No, no, no. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute, Sarah.
There is nothing good
about a green-card marriage.
- Green card marriage?
- Shh! Shh!
SARAH: All I wanted to do
was discuss the sales projections.
I don't even know why I told you.
Listen, Kitty, we need you to help us
figure out what she should do.
Is that Sarah?
Is she gonna marry the French guy?
- Would you go away?
SARAH: You need to understand my reality.
- Luc's visa will run out in four weeks.
- But that's four weeks.
Honey, you should tell him to wait.
We'll figure out something for you guys
to do. I don't want you to get hurt.
Mom, I will be hurt
if my boyfriend is deported.
Okay? It's a business transaction.
Sarah, why don't you just marry Luc?
Why would you even ask me that?
What is wrong with you people?
Because if I were ever to marry Luc,
it would be because I would like
to spend the rest of my life with him.
Not for a green card.
So in the meantime,
he's marrying his art dealer.
Yes. Exactly.
Do you wanna know where we are?
We're back at Cranberry Ball. Remember?
- Remember Michael Mizlanski?
- Yeah.
Yeah, well, you were afraid
to ask him to the dance
so he went ahead
and asked somebody else.
- Suzy Long.
KITTY: Yup.
- And Suzy and Michael are married now.
- Really?
- Hey, could I get an update, please?
- Would you...? No. I fired you.
NORA:
Sarah, listen to me.
Do you love him?
See, why should I even
have to say that out loud?
We've been back together
barely a week.
- Sarah, do you love him?
- I don't know. Probably.
- Probably?
- Yes, yes. I love him. Okay?
- Sweetheart, that's wonderful.
- No, it's not wonderful, Mom.
Because life is a lot more
complicated than that.
He knows that I love him.
I told him that I loved him a long time ago,
but it was still too hard and he left me,
and he went back to France.
Yeah, but he came back.
That's the thing, Sarah,
he's doing all of this for you.
- We've gotta go to city hall.
- We have to go to city hall.
SARAH: Kitty, meet us there.
- Yeah. No, I can.
NORA: Meet us at city hall.
- I'll be there as soon as I get my car.
- What's going on?
- I have a wedding to stop. I need my car.
- This is me getting your car. Hello?
- Buffy, I need...
- Brian, we need it now.
- Hurry up.
[DOOR KNOCKS]
- Hey, world traveler.
- Hi.
- Hey, welcome back.
- Thanks.
- Is Rebecca here?
- Rebecca's not here. No.
Just me.
Oh, I just wanted to check in.
I'm sorry about the miscarriage.
You doing okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I guess.
You know, it was a tough week.
How's Rebecca doing?
Uh, I don't know. Every time I try
and talk to her, she's out the door,
so you would probably know
better than I do.
No. She's not answering her cell phone,
so everything I hear
is pretty much secondhand from Holly.
That's why I was hoping
to see her today.
Wait, didn't you have dinner with her
last night?
Last night? No, I just came here
from the airport. My stuff's still in the car.
What's going on?
I don't know. Last night she said
she was having dinner with you.
That's not true.
Well, do you know where she is?
No.
No.
Kevin.
Yeah.
- You have my memo for the committee?
- Nope.
What've you been doing?
Something big.
Oh, I updated your web page.
I thought "Robert McCallister,
U.S. Senator" was a little too specific,
so now it just says, "Robert, a man."
I don't think the Californians
who support you
should know too much
about what it is you do.
Runners-up did include: "Robert
McCallister, National Man of Mystery"
and "McCallister:
Don't ask, he won't tell."
- All right, all right. Shut the door.
- Should we go down to the Batcave?
I told you, I'll tell you about this job
when I can talk about it.
- So what am I to do in the meantime?
- Your job.
- Robert, I feel trapped.
- Trapped?
Yes. And this whole best-buddy routine
does not make things any easier.
- Do you wanna go to couple's therapy?
- No, I do not.
I would like you to take this seriously.
Then maybe you should be
a little more direct.
I wanna move on.
And I'm sorry,
it doesn't matter what this new job is.
It doesn't matter what it is.
It would be your dream and not mine.
- I accept your resignation.
- Excuse me?
I mean, isn't that what you're saying?
You wanna go, go.
I mean, I'm just unhappy
to hear that you're so miserable.
But if you want your freedom,
you should have it.
I mean, by all means,
I wish you nothing but the best.
Fine. Two weeks' notice okay?
Don't worry about it.
Consider today your last day.
Okay. Here are your talking points.
Go easy on Espinoza,
I hear he's about to lose the finance chair,
so he might be a little sensitive
on spending.
- Oh, Kevin?
- Yeah.
Write out your letter of resignation,
make it official.
- Fine.
- Good.
SAUL:
Holly.
Listen, I'm wondering
if you've heard anymore about York.
No, he hasn't contacted me,
- but I can't stop thinking about him.
- What do you mean?
Well, I finally realized
that I was doing this all wrong.
I spent all this time
going over all the files of Ojai
when I should have been
investigating York.
Look at this.
"Narrow Lake Development Group."
Two weeks ago, when he thought
that I was gonna sell him my shares,
he filed for a DBA under that name.
Right. So what does that mean?
I found this bill from .
A geological survey William was doing
on several parcels of land.
- Including one named...
- "Narrow Lake."
- Doesn't that mean anything to you?
- No.
York wanted Ojai
so he could get Narrow Lake.
- So this is it.
- Now, all we need to know is where it is.
I mean, it's not mentioned
in any of the other Ojai files.
Just this survey for $ .
I don't know.
It's as if the purchase was covered up.
Right. So William looked at a lot of land
in those days.
He must have surveyed
thousands of acres
and some of them
weren't even in California.
- Then we have our work cut out for us.
- Right.
But at least we know
we're not kidding ourselves.
At least we know what we're looking for.
At last I feel that we are getting ahead
of Dennis York.
Oh, I can't wait to tell Nora.
Listen, let me tell her, okay?
I'm gonna see her tonight.
Okay.
She's gonna be really excited.
Hey.
Don't let me interrupt,
I'm just grabbing a snack.
Rebecca, what's going on?
- What do you mean?
- Your father stopped by.
He just got in this morning.
- You're unbelievable.
- Where were you last night?
Last I checked, I didn't need to ask
permission to leave the apartment.
Rebecca, where have you been going?
I just wanna find out what's going on.
Justin, nothing has been going on.
I'm sorry if I wasn't raised in a family
of brothers and sisters
who blab about their feelings all the time.
I don't even think that's healthy.
I think when something bad happens,
you get up and get moving.
- That's what I'm doing.
- But where are you going?
- That's what I'm asking you.
- I have a dance class!
You haven't been dancing
since you were years old.
Yeah, well...
You wanna know where I'm going?
I'm going to th and Fairfax,
if you must know.
I'll be there every night until I'm not.
Kevin, you have to help me.
I don't know what it is you think I can do,
Buffy.
Talk to Kitty. How am I supposed
to do my job if she keeps firing me?
I don't think she wants you to do your job.
That's...
[DOOR KNOCKS]
I'm on the phone with Kitty.
She's at city hall...
Good Lord.
Tell me they haven't gotten married yet.
KITTY: Is that Buffy?
- Yes, it is.
Oh, my God.
What do I have to do to get rid of her?
We have to find a map.
Oh, God, he's still not answering
his phone, Mom.
- This is political su1c1de.
ROBERT: Listen, I agree with her.
Yes, Robert, of course. That's what
we're doing here. We're trying to stop him.
- .
KITTY: .
We're going through the x-ray machine.
I gotta go. I gotta go.
NORA:
What in the world?
What are you still doing here?
I'm packing.
I'll be gone by the end of the day.
Well, take everything.
I'm gonna need this office
for the next guy.
Are you crying?
You guys love each other.
Don't you get it?
Would you pull yourself together?
It's embarrassing.
What is taking so long?
Seriously, do they think this little old lady
is gonna blow up the building?
Maybe it's a sign that Ginny and Luc
are supposed to get married.
- Just stop.
KITTY: That's ridiculous, Sarah.
Pardon me, ma'am,
could we go ahead of you?
We're in an awful hurry.
My daughter has to stop a wedding
that's gonna happen in minutes here.
I'd rather not get involved.
- No, no, no, please.
- We'll pay you.
- Fifty bucks.
- Forty.
- Mom.
- Okay, .
SARAH: Thank you.
- Fifty. Done. Forty and . There you go.
- Thank you so much. All right. In we go.
- Thank you.
Okay, got mine.
Come on, Mom. Mom. Go, go, go.
[DETECTOR BEEPING]
- Okay. What?
- Stop right there, miss.
- Code . Firearm.
- What's happening?
GUARD: Is this your bag, ma'am?
- I don't... Oh, oh, oh!
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
This is actually kind of funny.
- It's not a real g*n. I was...
GUARD: I need you to stand over here.
No, I won it today.
I was at an award thing. It's a plaque.
I won it as an award. It's not a real g*n.
I can show it to you if you...
GUARD :
Excuse me. Step over there.
- We really need to...
- I need you to stay right there.
No. You don't understand.
It's not a real g*n. It's...
- You need to listen to my daughter.
- You too, ma'am. Stay right here.
- Oh, my God. I can't believe this.
GUARD : We're Code here.
TEACHER:
And stretch.
Plié. Passé.
Relevé. Sous-sus.
And turn.
Other side.
Plié. Passé.
Relevé.
Sous-sus.
Other side.
Again.
Relevé.
And second. Hold.
Hold.
Sous-sus.
Other side. Again.
Plié. And stretch. Plié.
GIRL : I'll see you guys later.
GIRL : Yeah, that'd be great, I'm starving.
[CHATTERING]
Are you my stalker now?
I'm not stalking you.
You gave me the address.
So I figured I'd come watch you dance.
No, Justin, what are you doing here?
I told you I need space.
Rebecca, first of all, all I do
is give you space, but it's not helping.
Well, you can't help me.
I have to do this on my own.
- Okay, well, is this helping? The dancing?
- Yes. Yes.
No. I don't know.
I used to be good at this.
This used to be easy for me.
Now I can barely stay on my feet.
Okay, well, maybe...
Maybe it's just too soon.
I thought that if I went back to doing
something that I knew I was good at
that it would all make sense,
but it doesn't.
It's too hard.
My body keeps letting me down.
I feel so broken.
I'm sorry.
What are we gonna do now?
I guess we try again.
We start over.
I don't know if I can do that.
All right, look, Rebecca,
you're talking to a recovering drug addict.
I know a thing or two about starting over.
And you know what? It takes time.
All right? And sometimes you gotta
go back to the basics and work the steps.
But we can do it.
I promise you that.
Just don't give up.
- Oh, hey. You're home early.
- Yeah.
Could you sit down for a second?
Okay.
What's with the box?
I quit today.
- Kevin.
- I know.
I'm sorry.
I should have discussed it with you first.
You realize we're in the greatest
economic downturn since the Depression.
I know. I know.
I had to do it. I just had to do it.
I don't know what's happening to me,
but I couldn't be this person anymore.
Okay, well, I mea... If...
I guess we knew this was coming, right?
Yeah, just not today.
Well, we'll figure it out.
Thank you.
Look at me. I'm years old.
I thought I would've had things
figured out by now.
Kevin, you're talking to somebody
who used to sleep in his car.
- Feeling lost and aimless?
- Yeah.
Join the club.
It's like standard operating procedure
for the rest of us.
- You're not mad?
- Of course not.
- I'm proud of you. You did a brave thing.
- I don't feel brave.
I practically ran out of there.
I didn't even say goodbye.
Well, that's just wrong.
I know, but I'll call Robert tomorrow.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
- Oh, my God. It's him.
- Well, answer it.
- I don't want to.
- Kevin, what are you, ?
Uh...
Hello? Oh, hi.
What, right now?
Sure. I'll come over.
- What does he want?
- I have no idea.
Sir, could you tell me
where they took my daughter?
It's too late, Mom.
They'll already be married.
No, don't say that.
Honey, you saw that line downstairs.
Everything in this building
moves like molasses.
I can't believe
I pulled another Cranberry Ball.
No, you haven't.
It's not like he's left the country.
- You can still tell him how you feel.
- He has a wife and I know it's not true,
but why do I feel so sick about it?
Because you're in love with this man
and you don't want him
to marry anyone else but you.
Mm. You tried to tell me that.
I couldn't hear it.
Look, Sarah, if we don't make it
and we're too late,
and Luc and Ginny are married,
it doesn't matter.
Do you hear me? It doesn't matter.
You just have to work very hard
from now on to be honest with yourself.
And honest with him.
If you feel something, anything,
you can't be afraid to tell him,
whether it's good or bad.
The two of you love each other,
any moron could see that.
And you both have to work very hard
to protect it.
- It's not too late?
- No.
Thanks, Mom.
Doesn't this move you in any way?
Ma'am, I watch Oprah.
Nothing surprises me.
- Okay. We're free.
- Oh, my God. We're free.
- Just a little mix-up, ladies.
- Okay.
Mrs. McCallister,
you definitely have my vote.
- Well, thank you.
KITTY: Is he married yet?
- How the hell do I know?
SARAH: We can still make it.
NORA: Come on. Let's go.
KITTY: Okay.
Kitty McCallister, Senator, .
OFFICIANT: This woman and this man
have come before us
to be joined in the state of matrimony.
Witnessed invested before me
in the state of California.
Take hands and repeat after me. L...
SARAH: Luc.
- Sarah?
NORA: Is he married yet?
- Excuse me.
- They're with me.
- Who are you?
- She's with him.
- Um, Sarah?
Luc, I'm sorry.
I'm not cool with this. I thought I was.
I tried to be, but I'm not.
I'm not.
But then I started thinking I was afraid,
and there was Suzy Long,
and you came back for me.
- Sarah, English is not his first language.
- Luc, I love you.
I love you too.
Wait, are you two gonna
get married now?
- No.
- No, we're not.
SARAH: Don't tell me you have
never seen The Graduate.
Well, Dustin Hoffman is madly in love
with this girl, Elaine.
But she's about to marry the wrong guy.
So he bursts into the church
and she leaves the other guy at the altar.
- Yeah, so what happened next?
- That's it.
- Mm.
- They just stare at each other.
And then they get this look over their faces
like, "What have we done?"
SAUL: Nora.
NORA: Yes, I'm in here.
SAUL: Oh, good. Hi.
- Hi.
God, I wish you'd been there.
What a riot.
I think it's easier to plan a wedding
than it is to stop one.
Listen, we have to talk.
- What?
- Have you ever heard of Narrow Lake?
- Why?
- William must have bought it in .
Listen to this. Holly found out
that York opened a Doing Business As
under that name, Narrow Lake.
We think this might be pay dirt, Nora.
- Yes, I've heard of Narrow Lake.
- You have? Well, that's great.
That's great.
So do you know where it is?
No.
[SINGING]
It's a song.
William used to sing it all the time.
- It's a song.
- It's just a little ditty.
This could be the hidden value
of Ojai Foods, Nora.
- Did you find out where he is?
- York?
No, no.
He was staying at a hotel downtown.
He checked out a few weeks ago.
He'll be back.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God, Buffy.
- You just don't go away.
- Consider me fired.
- Really?
- Yes, I was just dropping off some wine,
as a thank-you gift for giving me a shot.
Are you trying to make me feel guilty?
Because I do.
No, I'm not. I'm not. Really.
I just wanted to tell you that I love you
and I'm gonna miss you.
- Really?
- Really.
I guess I'll leave you to it.
And I dropped a C-note on this wine,
so promise me you'll drink it with Robert
and not on a campaign bus.
Oh, no, no. That's not gonna happen
because I think you and I
have to drink this bottle together.
- You know me, I never turn down a drink.
- True. True.
But I'm not gonna
hold your hair back this time.
Oh, no, no. I can drink.
I'm good at it now.
I know you think this is a good idea,
but I don't wanna know what this job is.
You know me and my family,
we can't keep secrets.
Yeah, but you deserve to know.
And there's no pressure.
- You can still leave if you want.
- Why did I have to come back here?
Because we needed a secure room.
I've had my office swept for bugs.
Swept for bugs?
Robert, please don't tell me.
Don't worry.
I've had you cleared for this information.
Okay, you know what? I can't be trusted.
I'm actually ticklish.
I'd be one feather away
from telling al Qaeda everything.
It doesn't matter,
I'm not gonna change my mind.
No, I'm not gonna change my mind.
I'm not...
WOMAN: We're gonna miss you.
MAN: We're gonna miss you, Kevin.
- Great job.
ROBERT: All right. Get this man a drink.
Um...
Kevin and I have been through a lot.
A campaign, a heart attack,
a few scandals.
[CROWD CHUCKLES]
And we have disagreed.
We disagree a lot.
Kevin has done more than argue,
he's taught us
