Previously on "brothers & sisters"...
tonight I am suspending my campaign for the republican nomination.
Do you have any idea how many people are begging me to get them into a deal in china?
We can't do the deal.
I can't be objective.
I'm emotionally involved with him.
Do you have any idea how hard graham has worked on this?
Could you get me off the hook?
You have 12 doses here,then you'll come back and we'll harvest your eggs.
Your mom was,uh,accusing david of implying that he's your father.
I mean,have you ever thought that-- of course.
Look,I mean,if it's getting to you,
why don't you just get,like,a test or something?
Don't say good-bye,okay?
We're gonna see each other.
So long,then.
So long,isaac.
Taylor wants to come here for a meeting.
He's reaching out to you for the V.P.Spot.
Okay,we have 3 4-double-as...
That's like an a-plus,summa cum laude of embryos--
and then we have two abs,all right.
And th-that's an a-minus?
But they could end up having a better personality,
or--or,you know,they could be artistic or...
I don't know.I don't know.What do you think?
I-I think that they look like bubbles.
Well-- smart,cute,artistic bubbles.
Kitty,the embryologist is gonna tell us which ones to implant.
suppose we end up with triplets?
Let's pretend that that is not an option.
I wonder if the white house has ever had triplets...
well,I mean,not that the V.P.Technically lives in the white house.
Stop.
First of all,we are not having triplets. -Really?
And second of all,I'm not gonna be the vice president because no one's asking.
So why do you suppose
the republican nominee is coming over to our house this afternoon?
He wants my support.
He's trying to carry california.
Well,what if he does ask?
What if he does?
I mean,nobody--nobody turns down the vice presidency.
There are people out there shamelessly auditioning for the role.
I mean,we could sit here and debate hypotheticals,
but he'll ask us whatever he wants to ask us when he gets here.
Robert,we know what he wants.
He wants you to be the V.P.
so what,is it mother's day already?
-Whoa,mom. -Mom,hi!
We don't need a holiday to appreciate our mom.
Since when?
Since now,mom.
Hey,sorry I'm late,but I got the brioche.
Brioche from emil's,my favorite bakery?
Oh,what a coincidence.you're dead.
All right,all right,guys,you know what?
I really appreciate your concern,but I'm fine.
Um,well,thank you,tommy.
mom,you really don't have to put an act on.
I mean,it's normal to be depressed.
You were practically living with isaac.
I'm not depressed,honestly.
Isaac is a wonderful man,and we had a wonderful time...
together,but this is what I want.
This is what you want-- all alone in this big,empty house?
Hello,I live here. -Exactly.
Let's not get into your problems,all right?
You know,no one's gonna blame you for being sad.
It's not easy bouncing back from a breakup.
Yeah,especially at your age.
But I'm not bouncing back,even at my age.
I'm not bouncing.I'm busy.I'm very,very busy.
I've got the pasadena children's hospital fund-raiser tonight,
which is a full-time job...
and you remember...
we all have to go. -yeah,mandatory.
At least something has sunk in.
And then I have jamie coming this afternoon.
Jamie?
oh,no. -Oh,this is bad.
Who's jamie? -Mom's interior designer.
Yeah,when she turns up,it's like a maternal distress call.
When kitty went to new york,within 24 hours,
all the kitchen cabinetry--gutted.
Well,you know,the cabinetry was awful.
It was dingy.It was maple.
When I--when I enlisted in the army-- all new wallpaper upstairs.
how about when I came out?
Most parents just cry.Mom rips out the entire backyard.
Nothing but dirt,dumpsters and porta-potties for,like,two years.
Oh,well,I thought kevin would have a lot more pool parties.
I was trying to be supportive.
Yeah,I do like pool parties. -There you have it.
There you--all right,all right.
Maybe I have dealt with some difficult situations
in the past by immersing myself in the house,
but this is not one of those situations.
Understood? -yeah,sure.
yeah,mom,whatever you say. -Yes.Fine.
Where is that fabulous brunch I was promised? -Pass this down.
Uh,I have to take mine to go.I have to get a dress for tonight.
My formal event wardrobe is pretty nonexistent.
Oh,hey,if you're still out shopping this afternoon,call me.
I need no excuse to buy myself a little new something.
Yeah,cool,I will.
oh,bye. -bye.
all right,I'll be back in two seconds.
Becca...
any--any word?
Uh,they said today's the latest,so...
oh,good.
Gosh,if it turns out I'm not a walker,your mom's gonna build a third floor...
maybe a game room.
That's not a bad deal-- lose a sister,gain a ping-pong table.
Mom hates ping-pong,and we're not losing a sister.
If david's my father,everything's gonna change.
No,not everything.
That's true.
Some things are constant,like my mother being a pathological liar,
but the rest,I'M...I don't know.
Look,whatever the test results are,you know,we're not going anywhere.
I'm--I'm not going anywhere.
You don't know that. -I do.
You can't get rid of me that easy.
I have no friends.
That's true.
All right.
I'll call you as soon as I know,okay?
oh,for god sake,robert,when you go out running,you're supposed to bring your keys.
You're not supposed to go out and lock the door and then not bring your keys,
so when you're in the bathtub,I have to get up,
and I have to let you in to the house,and I don't have to...
good morning,kitty.
Good morning,congressman taylor.
I can see you've been expecting me.

Brothers&Sisters Season 2 Episode 14
Yes,yes,I hear you.
I'm just not convinced we can continue to bail out the developing world with our tax dollars.
Sure.
Bye,fred.
Pretty long run he's taking.
Yeah,I guess if you'd only been one hour early,he'd be here.
Well,I didn't want the press to get wind of our meeting,
so I thought I'd take a shot,buthat's all right.
This gives us a chance to get to know each other better.
I don't think that's necessary,with all due respect.
All right then,we can just sit here in awkward silence.
Ready?
Ready.
Go.
All right,fine.
Let's get to know each other.What's your favorite color?
Green.
I wear boxers,love black licorice,can't stand lima beans.
Why are you here?
I mean,really.
I think it's about time robert and I buried the hatchet.
Oh,I can think of a few places I'd like to bury the hatchet.
Oh,you seem to forget that he said some nasty things about me,too.
He said some nasty things about your record and some of the positions that you take,
but see,you made it personal.
You called him a philanderer,a turncoat,a hair candidate.
If you look closely,you'll see that I didn't say any of those things.
No,just somebody on your payroll or a few anonymous op-ed pieces that you no doubt approved.
All's fair in politics.
I think you mean "love and war."
Politics is love and war,at least when you do it right.
You didn't take to it,did you--
the campaigning and the interviews?
You know,I was robert's communicationsirector.
I'm proud of the work I did.
I'm not talking about your job.
I'm talking about being the wife.
Now maggie-- she loves it,all of it--
the traveling,the rallies,even the $5,000-a-plate dinners...
all the asses to kiss.
I certainly don't miss the asses.
Well,there are two types of political wives--
those who are cut out for it and the others.
I suppose I'm an "other"?
I'm just making conversation.
Guess who showed up early.
Yeah,I figured when I saw the cadre of secret service out front.
Boyd.Robert.I'm just gonna change.I'll be right back.
Uh,honey,you need-- you need to hurry up.
I'm drowning in his smugness and--and his aftershave.
Look,he came early to try to throw me off my game.
Now it's his turn to wait.
Oh,well,thanks.
So you got any coffee,or do you only drink green tea on this coast?
this is not what it looks like,okay?
Justin gave me this 'cause I'm going surfing with him and tommy.
Oh,good.
I was worried the oxycodone was making me hallucinate.
Oxycodone?
A battle with a very sharp paring knife.
The paring knife won.
I don't know what was more painful--
the seven stitches or the hospital bill.
How bad? -Uh,tetanus shot,$25...
stitches in the E.R.,$2,500.
Absence of health insurance...priceless.
You're walking around without health insurance?
I can't afford health insurance.I can't afford rent.
Remember?That's why I moved in with you.
Okay,next time,what if it's worse than a cut?
You have to have health insurance. -Kevin,please,no lectures.
I'm very low on blood.
Okay,I'm sorry.You know,I'm concerned.
Well,I'll figure something out.I always do.
All right,so are you willing to go bold?
Well,"bold" sounds good. -All right.
Red walls.
In feng shui,it is the ultimate color of power,passion and excitement.
Maybe that's a little too bold. -Okay.
Um,I did this room for a couple in santa monica--
simple,minimalist,serene.
Ere's nothing in this room.There's air and light.
Well,there's no things.I-I need my things.
I need books and pillows and rugs and things.
Okay,maybe we're getting ahead of ourselves.
Um,what do you need this room to function as?
A living room.
No,I mean what kind of living do you want to do in here?
What do you need from this room?
Need? -Yes,need.
I have no idea what I need.
We have a similar vision fothis country.
We both believe the conservative philosophy is the best way to achieve that vision,
which,let's face it,doesn't play well in the liberal states.
Look,boyd,your campaign called me a liar,
a cheater,defiled my war record.
So if you've come here wanting something from me,
I'd appreciate it if you just came right out and asked.
Join the ticket.
I'd like you to be my vice president.
We could dri up the coast next weekend,just the two of us.
Big sur is so beautiful in the spring.
What?You think it's too soon?
Oh,no,no.I--I'd love go away with you for the weekend.
It's just the post ranch inn is,uh,it's a little pricey,at least for me.
It's my treat.
David,I want to go away with you,and my financial situation,
for the first time in my life,is good.
I enjoy sharing my good fortune with people that I care about.
Oh,so you care about me.
Mm,well,if that's what it takes to get you to say yes
to 1,000-thread-count sheets and an infinity pool.
All right.Make the reservation.
And for the record,I care about you,too.
hello.
You realize your room is right over there?
Ha ha ha.
What you got there?
Oh,just a few dresses.Couldn't really pick one,so I bought all three.
But don't worry,I will return the other two.
I'm not worried.
I gotta get this.Sorry.
I've gotta get going,too.
I have got a pile of work to get through if we're gonna go away next weekend.
Yeah,I probably should,um...
who am I kidding?I don't have anything to do.
see ya.
where did she go?
Your mom?
She just,uh,she left for work.
You can probably still catch her if you want.
Is something wrong?
Did you know this whole time?
Did I know what?
That you're my father?
every inch of my body is throbbing,
and not in a good way.
I don't think I can make mom's thing tonight.
It's not a thing,it's a fund-raiser for kids with cancer.
Yeah,and if we have to go,you have to go.
Okay,fine,I'll hit scotty for some oxycodone.
Forget I said that.
Dude,you can say "oxycodone" without me going back into rehab.
And why is scotty on oxycodone?
To ease the pain of dating kevin.
He practically sliced his hand off--
seven stitches,an E.R.Visit-- an outrageous bill.
You know,he works 70 hours a week,and he still can't afford health insurance.
Gotta love america.
Enough with the michael moore bull,all right?
Just put him on your insurance.
Yeah,can't you just make him like,your domesticated partner?
Domestic partner,moron.
He's not a pet.
You know,you can both stop with the relationship advice.
You' up to your eyeballs in couples counseling,
and the closest thing you've got to a girlfriend is rebecca.
Oh,that's hilarious.
Hey,what's up with rebecca,anyway?
She was acting really weird this morning.
She's going through some personal stuff right now.That's all.
"Personal" as in "none of your business."
What do you mean?She's our sister.
Yeah,we have a code.
If we have anything on a sibling,we spill.
Yeah,well,it's different with her.
Oh,so if it was kitty or sarah,you'd tell?
I've known kitty and sarah since I was born,okay?
I mean,they've seen me naked.
Yeah,what if rebecca saw you naked?
That's creepy,bro.
You're the one who brought up sisters and nudity.
Uh,uh,we've known rebecca for what,a year?
I've been telling on kitty and sarah since I could talk.
Look,we just don't have that history with rebecca.
Oh,my god.She's gay.
She's not gay.
Is she gay? -No,she's not gay.
Look,this is no big deal,all right?Conversation over.
how is it that I graduated top of my class at business school,
but the phrase "paper jam area 'b'" just sends me over the edge?
I-if I can be of any help,you know,relieving your tension,
uh,I'm here to serve.
Oh,uh,saul's down the hall.
oh,yes,I know.
So the,uh,golden plum deal is all signed and official,
saul's wired all the money,so I think we should go celebrate,don't you?
What?
The expansion.
Oh,you're not having buyer's remorse,are you?
No.
What were you thinking?
I gave you instructions to tell graham that the deal was off.
Look,sarah,I did what I felt was best,and you know as well as I do that as C.F.O.
I have the right to procure funds,I have the right to sign checks,
and I have the right to okay deals as I see fit.
Not if the president has explicitly said not to.That is fraud.
Fraud?
Well,then why don't you bring me up on charges? -No me demandas?
It would certainly get you out of golden plum and all the ancillary deals.
Why don't you arrest me? -Maybe I should.
Graham and I did our due diligence.We checked out all the variables.
Maybe it's time for you to have some faith in my judgment.
Faith?
After what you've done?
I've been working in this company almost as long as you're alive.You know that?
With your dad,with tommy...
and now you.
Why wouldn't any of you have any faith that I just might know what I was doing?
No,of course.
RighT.
Well,thank you very much.
he asked.
I mean,he pontificated for an hour about how great he was,
but then he asked me to join the ticket as the vice president.
So--so what?So--so congratulations?
I mean,can you believe it?
After all that mudslinging,that we could run together on the same ticket?
I mean,well,of course you can.
You're the one who called it.
Yeah,I'm a regular amazing kreskin.
What's wrong?
Uh,nothing.Nothing's wrong.
I just,uh,
just trying to figure out what I'm gonna wear tonight.
He told me I'd have a major voice in the administration.
Yeah,well,if he listens.
He doesn't have a choice.
He's got to adopt some of my policies if he wants the moderates,
and he can't win without 'em.
Wow,you sound like you've already accepted.
I didn't know I had a choice.
You're the one who told me that nobody turns down the vice presidency.
it's so funny how you can always remember what I say when you're trying to bolster your argument.
I'm not arguing.
I told him we'd take this evening and talk about it.
Great,so between the hors d'oeuvres and speeches about pediatric cancer,
we're gonna make a decision that affects the rest of our lives?
I know it's a lot to process,but--I have to-- hello.
It's tim from the R.N.C.
Oh,no,sure,go.Go take it.
Yeah,tim,he just left.
Uh,yes,we did.
I asked her point-blank if william walker was my father.
She swore.She swore I was his daughter.
She lied to me.She lied to you.She lied to him!
It's more complicated than that. -How is it complicated?
She's a liar who hopped from bed to bed and didn't even know who fathered her own baby.
The only reason she picked william is because he had the bigger bank account.
I'm an idiot.
I really thought,in spite of everything,that she loved me,that I matter.
You do.Your mother loves you more than anything.
She loves herself.There's no room for anybody else.
Is any of this even fazing you?
Or are you too busy defending her to react to the fact that you've got a daughter?
Hey,it's a girl!
Does that even get a freaking response from you?
Or did you know?
Answer me!Did you know?
The timing...
you know,it was suspect,and--and,um,
when I asked your mother,she admitted that there was a chance,
but given how slight it was,we both thought it would be better if we didn't--
to what?To what?To leave me in the dark?
To not have to deal with the fact that you've got a daughter?
Were you relieved when she told you?
Were you--were you happy?
Were you sad?Were you bummed that you never got to know me?How did you feel?
I wish I had a-a simple and perfect answer for you,but I don'T.
All I know is that I was in no shape to be a father to you back then.
I was a self-absorbed coke addict,
-and you didn't deserve to grow up with that. -Right.
Because growing up without a dad was such a blast.
Oh,god,look at you.
You're smart and you're beautiful and you're funny,
and that's because of your mother.
Oh,stop defending her!
Do you have any idea what she's put me through?
she let me live at nora's house,okay?
She let me believe that I was a part of their family.
I fell in love with that family.
god,they're expecting me at that fund-raiser tonight.
Family dinners and birthday parties...
you don't have to lose that.
What am I supposed to do,just sit there,pretend I'm related to them?
Rebecca,I was A...
a crappy boyfriend to your mother,and had I known the truth,
I would have been a horrible father to you.
You deserved better than me.
You deserve to be happy.
I was happy.
For the first time in my life,I was happy.
I'm sorry.
We'll figure something out.
Okay?I promise.
I'm gonna make this okay.
,senator mccallister,are the rumors true?
did taylor offer you the second slot?
I'm,uh,I'm gonna,um,meet you inside,okay?
any comment at all tonight,sir?
Tonight is really about the pasadena children's hospital.
Both kitty and I are happy to be here to honor them
and their work with pediatric oncology.
The drudge report is saying it's a done deal.Sir,do you care to comment?
Congressman taylor and i met briefly today.
Hey,guys.
tommy,how's elizabeth?
She's,uh,she's fine.
Uh,it's just a cold,but she's so cranky,
julia didn't want to inflict her on some poor babysitter.
-Oh,darn it. -at least she doesn't have cancer.
-forever the optimist. -you know what I mean.
Oh,where's robert?
Oh,basking in the glow of the spotlight.
Who can tell me the quickest way to a glass of wine?
Here.
Don't you have,like,uh,you know,buns in the oven?
There's actually a few days between the embryos fertilizing
and then being implanted in her uterus.
Vintner by day,gynecologist by night.
His wife went through it.
How are the little kidsicles,anyway?
You know,these are my potential grandbabies we're talking about,so...
the actual term is blastocysts.
Can we please stop talking about my reproductive system in public?
And you know,tommy,you're really freaking me out.
Yeah,me,too.
You?Why you?
I wonder what's keeping saul. -Are you okay?
hey,everyone.
oh,my goodness,you look wonderful.
Thanks.
Thank you so much for coming.
No,no,thanks for having me.
Oh,look,there's jane.
If you tell her she looks younger every year,then she doubles the donation.
Excuse me.
Uh,you--you look nice.
Thanks.
So is that-- how's everyone doing?
I've been better. -Oh,sucktacular.
I'm thinking of starting a charity of my own--
stitches for bitches.
I-I thought it was... funny.
No. It was hilarious.
Jane, you're so incredibly generous, and I swear,
you do look younger and younger every year.
I don't know how you do it.
I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done to raise money for my son and families like us.
Oh, well, yes.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm ellen snyder. My son andrew has leukemia.
I-I'm nora walker. I'm so sorry. How--how's your son doing?
Good, all things considered.
This hospital has been a godsend.
Andrew is responding well to treatment, and looks like we can go home and visit in a few weeks.
- You're not from here? - No. Oregon.
My husband has a job there. My daughters are in high school.
- They have their lives. - Yeah. Oh, yeah, I--sarah?
Mom, I've gotta get another drink. This cancer thing is such a downer.
Um, this is ellen. Her--her son has leukemia.
I am so sorry. I, uh...
perhaps you'd like to go get that drink, yes.
I had an overwhelming urge to eat tiny pieces of cheese.
So did... did you hear anything yet?
he's not my father.
David's not my father.
so, uh, wow. So you-- you're still a walker.
looks like.
Yeah, wow.
Uh, come here. What am-- uh, what am I thinking?
That--that's great, rebecca. That's--that's really-- that's really great.
Yeah.
For a second, I couldn't tell if you were happy or--or disappointed.
Why wouldn't I be happy? This is--this is-- it's wonderful.
- Another, please. - Comin' right up.
All right, I-I give. What's--at's with the mood?
- I guess I've got a lot on my mind. - Okay.
Thank you.
I've gotta ask you, graham. Did you know?
- what? - I asked saul to talk to you,
make up something, get us out of it.
Instead he went behind my back, approved the deal,
and it's left me in a very uncomfortable position.
And what, you think I knew this, and I went along with him and purposely deceived you?
- Is that what you think? - I don't know.
- Did you? - No, I didn'T.
First of all, I assumed that saul had your approval.
And this deal is a very good deal.
If you had any doubts about it, I wish you'd have come to me yourself.
Listen, I am conservative when it comes to this business...
Maybe too conservative, but it's my family's company.
My father built it from the ground up, and he entrusted it to me.
Must've been great, you know, someone having that kind of faith in you,
trusting the decisions you made. Yeah, that must be nice.
I'm supposed to feel bad about that?
I would never tell you what to do.
Not that you'd listen to me if I did.
look, I think I've figured out a way to solve your problems.
You're gonna teach me to devein shrimp with one hand?
Your insurance problems.
If it involves me not having to take a third job, I'm all for it.
Why don't we file for domestic partnership?
- Excuse me? - It's so simple.
All we have to do is fill out some forms, get them notarized, and that is that.
We're then recognized as a couple by the state of california,
and that entitles you to the insurance from my firm--
that's medical, dental, vision, dependent life, accidental death and dismemberment, everything.
Death and dismemberment? Yippee!
- What's with the sarcasm? - Nothing.
I said I was gonna take care of it, and I will, ok, kevin?
It's my problem, not yours.
Okay, fine.
I'm starving. You want to order thai?
Either your extremely eager to head up to big sur,
- or-- - I'm sorry, holly.
Uh, a friend of mine called, and, uh,
he's--he's been working on this project that he thinks I'm perfect for.
A project?
Yeah, it's this, uh, small film, shoots in brooklyn, budget's nonexistent,
but, you know, it's a job.
I'm gonna--I'm gonna take the red-eye out tonight.
Wait a minute. You're leaving? For how long?
I'm not sure. You know, I...
look, this is just something I couldn't pass up. And...
holly, I-I miss my life-- new york,
- my loft- - your loft?
You're not actually going to tell me that this is about your loft.
Come on, holly. Let's not make this harder than it has to be.
Oh, no, no, no. Of--of course not.
I wouldn't want to make this hard on you.
I've really enjoyed seeing you, seeing your life.
You really made something of yourself, hol.
David, wait. Wait. Just--just stop.
What is this really about?
I have a life to get back to.
And I-I know it's sudden, and you have every right to be upset.
Upset?
Why would you bother knocking on my door?
Why pursue me? What's the point?
Nostalgia?
I just wanted to be that 30 year old I was when we were together.
You should go.
Tell rebecca I said good-bye.
Bye, holly.
We have to talk.
Taylor's waiting for an answer.
Yeah, well, I don't think you're gonna like what I have to say.
- So you think it's a mistake? - I do.
You two disagree on fundamental issues, not to mention he's rigid,
he's incapable of compromise, and he doesn't want your advice.
He's--he's just using you, robert, to shore up his own political weakness,
and yes, that's my professional opinion.
And your personal opinion... as my wife?
Well... it's one thing losing you to something that you deeply believe in,
but it's another thing losing you to taylor's administration.
No, no. Your personal opinion-- about you, not about taylor.
I don't know if I can do it again...
the campaign and the crowds anthe public weighing in on our personal decisions.
It's just that, when are we ever gonna have time for us just to-- just to live our lives?
This is my life.
Yeah, I know.
And while you were busy dealing with your life...
the doctor called me to tell me that none of our embryos are viable, not one.
So I'm just wondering what I'm supposed to do.
Am I supposed to squeeze in a little egg harvesting and a little hormone treatment in
between the rallies and the town hall meetings?
Are you telling me you want me to turn down the vice presidency so we can have a baby?
No. I just want you to want to.
I just want your--your love for me to be more important than--than your ambition.
Please don't act like my ambition is something new.
It has always been there. You were attracted to it.
Yeah. Well, everything's different now.
You think I don't know that?
I thought I'd be the one looking for a running mate.
So please don't tell me that everything's different.
Are you happy I lost?
How could you even ask me that?
Well, I guess I don't have to.
How was the fund-raiser?
It was fine. I'm really tired, so...
david left.
- he did? - He took the red-eye tonight,
and I don't think he's coming back.
He said he had some "project," whatever that means.
Well, you said so yourself. He's a flake.
I know. I just... I thought he had changed.
I hoped he had.
Maybe I just wanted him to.
well, we don't always get what we want, do we?
Are you here for the ice cream
or because you're worried about me being alone here in this big, empty house?
No, I'm worried about me being all alone in my middle-sized, empty house,
and the creamy vanilla ice cream.
Did you and graham have a fight?
Yep. Graham's angry at me.
Saul's angry at me. They say I don't trust them.
I don't know. I-I have to listen to my instincts, but maybe they're right.
Maybe I'm just a big, fat control freak.
Oh, honey, I wouldn't say "freak." No.
I mean, you have always been more comfortable in a leadership role.
How's that for diplomatic?
- What? - Brain freeze!
Well, honey, you took too big a bite.
You know, saul is in a kind of difficult part of his life right now.
- Anything I should be worried about? - No, no, no.
You get to a certain age, and you can't help but think about your life,
what you've been through, where you want to go next.
For so long, saul has been living in somebody else's shadow--
first your father's, then yours.
I think sometimes he felt like a shadow himself.
What should I do?
Be patient. Trust him.
So have you decided what to do about the redecoration?
- I'm not gonna touch this house. - Really?
- You're kidding. - No.
Jamie asked me what I needed, and I couldn't think of a single thing.
- And then I met ellen tonight, that really nice lady at the benefit. - Oh, yeah, yeah.
And she really does need something. She needs a home away from home.
Sarah, that's what I want to do.
I want to give ellen and--and families like hers a temporary home,
a place where she and her family can stay while their son is being treated--
a kind of oasis away from spitals and doctors' offices.
Is that pie in the sky? Is it silly?
- You mean here? - No.
- Oh, it's a great idea. - Really?
Mom, that's fantastic.
- let--let ojai sponsor it. - No.
Oh, come on, it's the least I can do after tonight's faux pas.
I saved you from asking, didn't I?
Right. Thanks.
I thought I was doing a good thing.
You were doing a practical thing.
Well, what's wrong with that?
Kevin, for us, domestic partnership is it--
you know, our only legal option, our version of marriage-- for now, at least.
And at the risk of sounding like a 12-year-old girl...
I want my wedding to be special.
"Practical" isn't enough of a reason.
So if and when I choose to take that step, I want to stand up in front of everyone I know and say,
"this is the man I choose to be with till I'm old and bald and incontinent."
It sounded far more romantic in my head.
It is romantic, but at the risk of sounding like a 30-something straight guy,
I don't know if I'm ready for that or if I ever will be.
I'm not asking you to be.
- Are you upset? - No.
Kevin, we're boyfriends, not clones.
We can agree to disagree.
Yeah, I know, but you know us lawyers. We hate to lose arguments.
Yeah, well, get used to it, because this is not an argument you're gonna win.
Now I'm going to brush and floss because I don't have dental insurance either.
20-year, single barrel.
Appropriate, don't you think?
You know, before we drink, I just need a little more clarification on what my role would be.
I take a bullet, you get a promotion.
- That's the role. - Come on, boyd.
Well, as I said earlier, you'll be consulted on every major decision.
You know, my first wife consulted me on every decision building our house.
No decision was too small-- what color to paint the kitchen,
what theloor should be-- mahogany, oak, pine--
and I'd give her my opinion.
Then she'd turn right around and do whatever the hell she wanted.
well, my wife's the same way.
Good thing I don't give a damn about crown molding.
But I do give a damn about the country.
So if I say yes, I need your assurance that I will have a voice in the administration.
I said I'd hear you out.
- If you want me to cross my heart on it-- - I don't appreciate the condescension.
And I don't appreciate you trying to strong-arm me.
You're the one who offended the moderates in the primary,
and now you want to send me out there to get us the votes.
So we're clear, no one's voting for you.
That ship sailed on super tuesday. They'll be voting for me.
I am unwilling to campaign for you for the next four months,
only to be shut out of every policy discussion.
If you say no to me, it'll be a mistake.
The party leadership and the voters will see you acting like a little kid who lost,
so you're taking your toys and going home.
I built a wide coalition.
I bring a substantial amount of degates.
I have a prime-time speech at the convention
that I promise you I am going to knock the living crap out of.
It'll set the conversation for the next four years.
My seat in the senate is safe. I am 42 years old.
So with all due respect, I'm a long way from my curtain call.
I'm offering you the second highe position in our government.
I suggest you take it.
Hello, kitty.
Well, hello, congressman. Is everything okay?
I'm just great.
Your husband, on the other hand, just made the biggest mistake of his political life.
And a word to the wise-- if you had anything to do with it, brace yourself.
Oh, well, um, appreciate the concern, but I think we're gonna be fine.
He's going to replay our conversation in his mind... over and over.
He's gonna second-guess himself, wonder what he could have done differently.
And eventually he's gonna have to put all this blame somewhere,
and it's going to be the person closest to him.
well, see, that's actually where you're wrong, congressman,
because unlike you, robert is strong enough to make his own decisions
and then stand by them without blaming anybody else.
And yes, yes, I do share my opinions with him, because unlike your wife,
I am actually allowed to have opinions.
well, believe what you want, kitty.
But one day, he's going to look at you and only see the woman
who stood between him and the white house.
- justin? - I know it's early. Take this.
- No. It'll be early in like an hour. - I don't know what you'd call this.
- Don't be a wuss. We're going to the beach. - Now?
Yeah. You're a D.N.A.-Tested and approved walker, which means you have to learn how to surf.
Do sarah and kitty know how to surf?
They--they've tried it once. They complained the entire time.
- Does it have to be this early? - It sounded just like that.
- fine, I'll get my suit. - Of course.
- sarah- - I am so glad you're both here...
- listen, we were just gonna call you. - Because now I can just say it, okay?
Um, you're right. I obviously have trust issues with the men in my life.
Graham, I should have come to you personally,
and I'm sorry if it appeared that I was jumping to conclusions.
- Look, sarah- - saul, no, let me say this.
I know you wouldn't have done this deal had you not done due diligence,
and your instincts about ojai have always been right on.
So there it is. I just want to say I'm here, I am on board.
However, if either of you ever go behind my back, I will have you shot.
what's going on?
Golden plum just filed for bankruptcy.
They were using, uh, hedge fund money to expand, and I guess they,
uh, they really leveraged themselves, and the fund collapsed this morning, and...
that's it. They had no choice.
We're still on the hook for the ancillary deals.
The bank's gonna call in the loan.
$20 million. We can't cover that.
I know.
We'll try again.
We have time.
you didn't turn down taylor just because of me, did you?
No, I turned taylor down because of taylor.
At the end of the day, I just couldn't align myself with him.
I am not that ambitious.
You know, I really believe that the country will be a better place with you in the white house,
whenever it happens.
It's just that it's, um...
it's just very hard to share you with the entire country.
And I don't want to lose you.
- I don't want to lose what we have. - I don't either.
I just really thought that this was...
gonna happen for us this time.
It's not over.
There'll be a next time.
you gotta remember-- you want to get up and get your feet under you at,
- like, as quick as possible, okay? - Okay.
All right, so we're paddling, paddling, anD... go!
All right. There you go.
Wow, you actually fall under the, uh, coordinated side of the walker gene pool.
I think you're ready for water.
- Yeah? - You want to try it?
- Yeah, let's do it. - All right.
So let me just strap on your little ankle thing here.
that was weird for a minute, thinking we might not be related, right?
Yep, that was weird.
all right, you're gonna love it, all right?
you will never be the same. You're life's gonna be changed forever.
All right? Let's go.
