[EAS Y-LISTENING MUSIC PLAYING]
- Doggerel? - Yep. It means bad poetry.
I know what it means. You just turned my "dog" into "doggerel."
And it's what, 13 points?
Nope. Twenty-six. Double word score. Ha.
- I'm forfeiting this game. - Oh, come on, Robert. You can't forfeit.
Sure I can. I've got five I's and an O.
- Besides, you look too beautiful. - Focus. You have to focus.
I didn't come all the way up here just to play board games.
You're not trying.
Now come on. You said you had an O.
Do you have an R? You could spell "rumor."
Mm-mm.
Okay. Let me see your letters.
Oh, look at that. You have a T.
- So? - So you can spell "tumor."
I don't want you staring at the word "tumor."
Robert, do you think that I have forgotten that I have cancer?
Oh, I had Kevin reschedule tomorrow's press conference
in case the chemo takes longer than they say.
Oh, no, no... You don't have to do that because I'm gonna be fine.
It's your first time, I should be there.
No. Sorry. I've already decided that you are not gonna be my chemo buddy.
- Who is? - I don't know.
I have a whole gaggle of family members just waiting in line.
But you, my friend, you are gonna be concentrating on the campaign.
Heh. What's happened to you?
You didn't even want me in this race, and now I wanna be there for you...
You're gonna be there for me.
You're running for governor, you're not going to the moon.
And besides, the last thing I need is you quitting on my account.
Okay.
- Can I at least quit this game? - Yes. You can.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
JUSTIN: Excuse me, Dr. Condon? CONDON: Yes?
I'm, uh... I'm Justin. Justin Walker.
I'm sorry, office hours don't start until 1.
You know what? This will only take a second.
I've been reading up on the cancer research you've been doing.
I know it's a bit late, but I was wondering if I could join your team.
My assistant positions were filled a month ago.
I know. And I know this would be making an exception.
Even if I could, my grant funding only allows a certain number of students.
Okay, you know what? I'd, uh... I'd volunteer. I'd work for free.
- What year are you? - First.
You know, in my experience, it's better not to rush into specializing.
Might wanna take a year or two, make sure oncology's what you really want...
No, it is. Look, I'll do anything.
I'II, uh, empty your trash, I'll sweep the floors.
I can offer you a pen that works. There you go.
- What was your name again? - Justin Walker.
- I'll think about it, Justin. - Thank you. Thank you.
Um, I won't disappoint you.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[WHISPERS] Hi. Sorry I'm late. Where are we?
- [WHISPERS] We? - Yeah.
- You mean me. - Okay, that's right. We'll catch up.
I was trying to get an internship with Dr. Condon.
- You've barely got this under control. - I can handle this.
Look, I'm not gonna get dragged down
by your unfocused, naive approach...
I told you I can handle this, all right, Carter?
[CHUCKLES]
- Unbelievable. - Carter.
I know this is probably not what you're in the mood for,
but Rebecca and I are gonna look at wedding venues today.
I would so love to, but I can't today.
It's, um, Kitty's first chemo treatment, and I have to be there.
NORA [OVER PHONE]: She hates hospitals and needles and...
It's gonna be a very rough day. She needs me.
Of course.
Besides, I don't wanna intrude on your mother-daughter time.
Please. We're going to be in-laws soon. We would love to have you with us.
Thank you, Holly. I really appreciate that.
Okay. Bye.
Holly, you wanted to see me?
Uh, yeah. I want you to follow up a line on a juice broker.
SAUL: Mm.
I think I have finally located a supply of cheap wine
that we can use to make our blend.
I would do this myself, but I have promised Rebecca
that we would look at wedding venues today.
But don't you think we should wait until Sarah gets back to work?
She needs to weigh in on the possibility of a low budget or a second line plan.
She might have found something in France.
We need the revenue now.
We need to put this deal into motion with the broker today.
How do you know people are gonna buy this 2.99 swill, Holly?
In this economy, people will buy it if we market it correctly.
And if you give them a lottery ticket to distract them from the taste.
You know what, Saul? Forget that I even asked you.
That's fine by me.
What I want is to generate new revenue now.
We have no idea how long it's gonna be
before people are willing to buy high-end products again.
And quite frankly, we can't afford to wait.
- Hey. - Hi.
- What, are we having company? - No. No, I just wanna be prepared.
We don't know how you'll feel after this first treatment.
So I made all your favorites.
I made tapioca pudding. I made fresh banana bread.
Lots of... No, no, don't... Pah, don't drink that.
- You don't wanna have that. - Ugh.
No, no. Look, I made you a protein drink because they say you shouldn't go there
- on an empty stomach, yes. - An empty stomach.
I made you a great protein drink
and it has almond milk and protein powder.
Ooh. It's thick.
- Oh. - A little thick.
Well, let me just thin it out for you.
And then I'll put it in a travel mug because we can take it with us.
And I'm all ready to go.
Oh, Mom. Oh, God, Mom.
I'm so sorry. I totally forgot to tell you
that Sarah is actually going to come here and pick me up,
and she's gonna be my chemo buddy for today.
- Oh, great. Good. - Yeah.
I mean, l... You know, I've hardly seen her since she got back from France
and I thought that it would be a nice opportunity for us to catch up.
So, you know, it doesn't all have to fall on you.
Okay. I mean, look at all you've done so far,
and it's only 10:00 in the morning.
I mean, I think you should take the day.
Take the day and just enjoy yourself, because guess what.
- What? - I am gonna be fine.
- Yes. Yes. - Yup.
- I know that. I know that. - Yeah.
Absolutely.
The truth is, Kitty and I spent a great deal of time weighing this decision
and the choice was clear.
We could suspend our campaign and let the cancer win
or we could continue to live our own lives
and stand up for what we believe in.
And so that's why I'm staying in the race.
Because Kitty and I believe that's what's best for our family
as well as the state of California.
- Okay, I'll take a few questions now. REPORTERS: Senator.
One at a time. Um, Steve.
- I speak for everyone in wishing Kitty well. - Thank you.
STEVE: But to focus on your decision to keep campaigning,
do you risk losing donors who may fear you might drop out down the road?
Well, I think that my donors appreciate that I'm steadfast in my decisions.
So no, I don't think that's gonna be an issue.
REPORTERS: Senator. - Yes. Lynda.
If Mrs. McCallister does support your decision to stay in the race,
- why isn't she here today? - She's at home recuperating.
Of course, but, senator, are you concerned
that continuing your gubernatorial run
in the face of your wife's conditions will appear callous?
I think most Californians would appreciate that this is a private family matter,
and I think that they'll judge it as such.
Next question.
Now, Kitty, you may feel a little cold as it reaches your vein.
- Okay. - Here. Let's warm you up. Come on.
Get you nice and warm.
Sarah? Can you, uh...? Can you talk, please?
- What do you want me to talk about? - I don't know. Anything.
- You can talk about your trip. SARAH: Okay.
[GASPS]
There it is.
SARAH: It's okay.
You're okay.
So we were running late.
Sat on the tarmac for like two hours.
I don't know how the airlines get away with that.
- We circled Paris for at least an hour... - Sarah.
Tell me a good story.
I don't wanna have to fire my chemo buddy.
I met a guy.
- You did? - Mm-hm.
- Really? SARAH: Really.
- Well, you didn't tell me that. - Well, I'm telling you now.
Oh, my God. Wow. Okay.
Okay, I want you to tell me every detail. And don't skimp on anything.
Okay.
I was running late. I had been driving all morning.
I was lost looking for this vineyard outside a place called Bergerac.
Oh.
SARAH: Driving through these beautiful fields peppered with sunflowers.
And there was this little farmland, I guess.
Beautiful big old barn.
[MAN SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
[GULPING]
Heh. You're enjoying this, aren't you?
Okay. Look, I have an appointment at...
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
Business. It's a winery. Um... De Chollet?
Nothing?
Chateau Chollet.
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
- Chateau Chollet. - Of course. It's not so far.
You speak English?
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
- Of course. - Heh.
- Well, I'm very glad to have amused you. - It was cute.
Could you give me some directions? I'm running late for this...
I take you. I take you.
You'll take me?
- Are you sure? - Let's eat and then we go.
Oh. Uh, no. No, I'm sorry, I didn't explain myself.
- I'm running late. I have to... - You don't want me to take you?
Uh... No, no.
- Uh, I just... I have to go now. - What do you think?
SARAH: Kitty? Kitty?
KITTY: Hmm?
- Oh. NURSE: How are you feeling?
- Everything okay? - Yeah.
- Any shortness of breath? - No, no. I feel great.
- I feel like I could run a mile. - Good.
- How about chills? Any of those? - No, no. Not at all.
- Okay. KITTY: Um...
This is Sarah, my sister.
- She just met a guy in France. - Congratulations.
[THANKS NURSE IN FRENCH]
She does seem to be shivering a little bit.
- Is that normal? - No.
Totally. We'll just slow down the drip
and give you an extra dose of hydrocortisone.
- See if that calms things down. - Okay.
I wanted to go over with both of you the post-care information.
Okay, okay. Can you just please, um, maybe give us one second?
Sure.
- Um... Did you stay? SARAH: Kitty.
- No, no... Just tell me. Tell me. - Of course I stayed.
You know, Jean Harlow once lived here.
HOLLY & REBECCA: Really? - Yeah.
- Oh. - Wow.
- Hi. HOLLY: Oh, hi!
I'm so glad I found you. Did I miss anything? Hi, I'm Nora.
- I'm the groom's mother. MANAGER: Oh, welcome.
- What are you doing here? NORA: Hi, honey.
I asked her. I thought that Kitty was getting a treatment.
Well, yes, she did. We were halfway out the door and Sarah showed up,
and they haven't had any time to be together since Sarah got back.
And then I got to come help you here.
- Sweet. - This is so exciting.
- I can use all the help I can get, ha, ha. - Well, I'm thrilled.
And look at this.
Wow. Look at... This is... Impressive place.
REBECCA: Jean Harlow once lived here.
- Did she? HOLLY: Yeah.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
- Oh, that must be Sarah. - No, it's mine.
I'm sorry, Rebecca. This will just be one minute.
Yeah, what is it? Yeah, I just need the price of the juice.
Fine, fine. Put me through to the broker.
Now, most of our couples do a cocktail hour right out here.
- Oh. - We fill the pool with floating candles.
It's beautiful.
I mean, what do you think, Nora?
Well, I think you have to, you know, feel it.
- Feel what? - Well, feel that it's right.
Feel that it's, like, you and Justin.
Well, I mean, Justin likes water.
Ugh, I'm so sorry. So where were we?
Why don't we go upstairs? We have a fantastic area for the bridal suite.
- Are they shooting a movie? - Hmm?
- Are you shooting a movie here? - Uh, yes.
MANAGER: We rent this space out for a variety of events.
I thought they'd be done by now.
- Must be a period piece. - L... I think it is.
- What period? - Um... Olden times.
Yes. I can't keep up, ha, ha.
But why don't we go look at the bridal suite? Shall we?
Ha, ha. I'm sorry. Um, are they shooting porn?
- Um... WOMAN: We need more oil.
MAN: Billy, how close are we?
- Really? Here now? - Oh, dear.
We don't rent out the space for filming on the weekends.
[WOMEN CHUCKLE]
- I would be happy to throw in free valet. HOLLY: Ha, ha.
- Free valet. - Oh!
HOLLY: No, no. I don't think so. No. Go.
- We can get to the street this way. HOLLY: Thank you.
- Go down these stairs. REBECCA: No.
- That wasn't supposed to happen. HOLLY: No, no, no.
[SIGHS]
We need to discuss the Kitty issue.
Internal polls are showing a drop...
First of all, can we please not refer to my wife's illness as the "Kitty issue"?
Okay. Sorry.
Um, but if we don't get Kitty out there and show the public she's behind you,
this is just gonna get worse.
No, it'll be worse if we do. They'll think we're using her.
- It's a risk, but we can't do nothing. - Look, Kevin,
and jot this down because I'm not gonna say it again.
Kitty's well-being has nothing to do with the state of California
or my integrity or my job performance.
- Why can't we say that? - We said that explicitly.
Yeah, and they didn't hear you. You know why?
It came from the wrong mouth.
- A statement, at the least. - I'm not gonna use her.
I will help her draft it myself.
No, do not. Kevin. Back...
There's too much at play for you to see this clearly.
Leave Kitty alone. She and I have made a decision,
and that should be good enough for everybody. Including you.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
"Spend the most important day of your life in the opulent Austin Ballroom.
Details include fine linens with buttercup or eggshell.
Silver, gold or black Chiavari chairs."
- What's Chiavari? - Well, it's that. That's a Chiavari chair.
Oh. Okay, what else is in this Love In The Afternoon package?
"Love in the After... It includes a chocolate fountain."
[IN UNISON] Um...
NORA: Yeah, the idea of the Walkers in the same room
with five tiers of hot molten chocolate is terrifying.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
All of these packages,
they're like a slightly different version of the same generic wedding. It's...
Well, maybe your mom has some ideas how to personalize.
REBECCA: Yeah, if she would ever get off the phone.
Sweetie, you know what? If you don't like this venue,
then we should just go. There are plenty of others to look at.
Yeah. Maybe we should.
So, what do you think? Does this place have potential?
- No. We're moving on. - We just got here.
It seems that way because you've been on the phone the entire time.
Rebecca, I was only on the phone for five minutes.
Look, why don't we not make any decision until we tour the grounds?
Why? So we can just sign a check and get the search over with?
I know this is an inconvenience for you, clearly, but...
- I don't think that... - That's not what I'm saying.
I'm saying how can you make informed decision
without checking out the entire venue?
Because I've seen enough to know that it's not right.
I mean, ask Nora. You either feel it or you don't.
Okay, I think there's something to that, but still, you...
But what, Mom? You've never done this before. Nora has, multiple times.
I mean, Kevin and Scotty's wedding was perfect, and it was so them.
I want that for Justin and me.
So, what you're saying is that you wanna have your wedding at Nora's.
She's sitting right here, so why don't you ask?
[STAMMERS]
If you'd listen, you'd know that's not what I'm saying.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
- I'll call him back. - Take it.
- That's what you'd rather be doing. - Rebecca.
I don't have to take it.
Nora, I'm sorry. We wasted your time.
To think that we could do this together, it's unbelievable.
HOLLY: Don't be this... Ugh.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Careful. You'll sever the radial artery.
Can you back up? It's pretty hard to focus when you're breathing down my neck.
- Not bad. - Uh, thanks. Thank you.
Justin, can you come by and see me tomorrow during office hours?
Uh, yeah. Everything all right?
Just wanna discuss a few things.
- Yeah. Yeah, I'll be there. - Great.
[SIGHS]
This is about last week's quiz. Damn it.
I thought I nailed it. We studied that for like six straight hours.
[SIGHS]
God, why does he wanna talk to me?
I told him I wanted to switch lab partners.
- What? - Sorry, nothing personal,
but I need someone who's 100 percent committed.
Wait, you told Madsen I wasn't committed?
You show up late.
You freaked when you saw a cadaver. I didn't go running to Madsen.
That was once. This is a pattern.
You know what? Screw you.
Back up, Carter.
[SIGHS]
SARAH: Here we go.
PB, mini-marshmallows,
oven-fried chicken, mac and cheese and pudding.
- Mm. - How do I get your diet?
Hmm.
- Oh, sorry. That was insensitive. - It's okay.
Um, I guess Mom is trying to spark my appetite
by bringing out all my old childhood favorites, but...
Oh, no way. I'm not hungry.
I don't care. You're going to eat.
- All right. I'll eat. - Mm-hm.
If you tell me more about Mr. Frenchy.
It's a deal.
You never made it to that winery you were looking for, did you?
- Not that week. No. - Week?
SARAH: Mm-hm.
It was amazing.
Stop blocking your face.
Ha, ha. You're making me self-conscious.
Your face, it is powerful and soft. Like you.
What do you know about me? Except for my inability to read a map.
Your expressions tells me many things.
For example, your brow, your jaw
say that you are a woman who's in control. You like control.
Your eyes and your smile,
they say something different.
You wanna be wild.
To give into your impulses.
- Did they teach you that at art school? - No.
Something I simply see.
What else do you simply see?
That you are slow to trust.
Maybe a little.
But you wanna let go.
ROBERT: Hello.
Hello? Should I come back?
KITTY: Yeah. Yeah. No, yeah. - No, no, no.
You'll stay, I'll go. We'll continue this tomorrow.
- Oh, tomorrow? SARAH: Mm-hm.
- Keep her hydrated, will you? - Yeah, yeah. Thanks.
No problem. I'll call you tomorrow.
Ugh. When I'm better, we're going to France.
Wherever you want.
- How's Evan? - Oh, his cold's getting better.
The doctor says he's almost well enough to be around you.
Oh, good. Good, because I really miss him.
- Tommy. - Oh.
He sent a very nice note.
So how was it?
Well, it wasn't, uh, as scary as I thought it would be.
- I'm definitely nauseated though. - Oh.
Here.
Mm.
- What's that? - Acupressure.
If I put pressure right on your palm, it reduces nausea.
How come I never knew about this skill before?
Because I just looked it up online.
I'm just happy to be able to do something to help.
Are you gonna make me ask about the press conference?
- It went fine. - Fine?
- Yeah. - That's it?
You always tell me everything.
Right down to the distracting sheen on the loafers of Ted from the Times.
Usually my wife isn't just finishing her first round of chemo.
What were the numbers?
I bet you're down with women. What are they?
[SIGHS]
- We took a hit. - Oh.
- But I'm not worried. - You always worry. That's why you win.
Okay, this time, I'm gonna win and I'm not gonna worry. How's that sound?
- Like a lie. - Come here.
Just leave California out there.
In here, it's just you and me.
[SOFTALTERNATIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
JUSTIN: Hey. How are you? - Hey.
- Uh-oh. - "Uh-oh" what?
You're folding socks. You only fold socks when you're upset.
Well, we don't have a wedding venue and my mother and I fought today.
- Oh. Well, that sucks. - Yeah.
How was your day?
Remember that oncology internship I applied for?
Oh, no, you didn't get it?
That's still up in the air. But check this out.
So Carter decides to tell Professor Madsen
- that he wants a new lab partner. - What?
He says I can't handle the workload that I already got.
Doogie thinks you can't hack it?
What a tool.
All right. So, what's going on with the venue things?
[GROANS]
I had no idea that wedding stuff is so cookie-cutter.
It's just not us.
All right, so, what would make it personal?
I'm sure when you were a little girl, you had plans about your wedding and...
Kitty and Sarah used to play bride all the time. So did Kevin.
[CHUCKLES]
Well, I didn't.
It's not like I had some wedding album of my mother's to look through, you know?
I think you have a defective bride.
Rebecca, I don't have a defective bride. At all.
No, I don't know. I don't know. I think maybe you should plan the wedding.
[SCOFFS]
Unless you want chilidogs and chicken wings at a Dodger game,
that's probably a bad idea.
[REBECCA GROANS AND JUSTIN CHUCKLES]
- How's Kitty? - She's asleep.
Great.
God, she's tough.
[KEVIN SIGHS]
- According to Sarah, they had fun today. - Good.
I'm glad Sarah's back.
Kitty needs you guys.
- How are you holding up? - Good.
So I assume you don't want an update on the polls, which are still down.
Correct assumption.
Uh, well, let's see, in other important state matters.
Oh, yeah, Madera County would like your support
in their campaign to change the state bird.
How about the ostrich? They're so cute.
They do that whole head-burying-in-the-sand thing...
- I'm not burying my head in the sand. - Yes, you are.
Come on, Robert. You march into that office and act like you're working.
- We all know what's going on. - What do you want from me?
You do realize Kitty will not let you quit this campaign.
- I haven't quit. - You've stopped running.
Because you know if you do nothing, your campaign will fall apart on its own
and you can tell Kitty you tried your best.
Reality is you're sabotaging your chances and you know it.
Kevin, stay out of it.
[BREATHING DEEPLY]
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
Hey. How are you feeling?
KITTY [OVER PHONE]: I feel like I wanna vomit
and the deep breaths are not cutting it,
so please, you need to tell me the end.
SARAH [OVER PHONE]: It was a vacation romance.
And like vacations, it ended.
Oh, I know. But just tell me how.
- Sarah? Are you there? - Yeah.
Uh, you know, he... He wasn't who I thought he was.
SARAH: The last day I was there, I went for a walk.
[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
[BOTH SHOUTING IN FRENCH]
[JOSETTE SHOUTING IN FRENCH]
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
- Sarah. - Who was that?
- I must explain. - Don't bother.
I'm so sorry.
You wonder why I don't trust.
Oh, no, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, no. Wait a second. I know this.
You go back to your car and it doesn't start.
- What? - Uh-huh.
And then you go back to the farmhouse with the both of them. It's the movie.
- What movie? KITTY: Oh, come on, Sarah,
you've been telling me the plot of that French movie
that Mom used to love when we were kids.
Okay. You're right. You busted me.
I'm sorry.
- You mad at me? - No, I'm not mad. I'm...
[SIGHS]
You took my mind off of everything.
I'm just very sad
that you didn't get to have a love affair with a hunky Frenchman.
Yeah, me too.
Hey, where'd you go? I thought you were next to me the whole time.
Oh.
You're not Robert.
He's at the drugstore filling a prescription.
But I can sit with you if you want. That's why I'm here.
KITTY: Hmm.
- Are you allowed to have that? - Mm-hm. Mm. Mm.
Mm, that blog was right. Chemo definitely makes the beer taste better.
- Could I? - Get your own. I have cancer.
- Wow. - Mm.
So, um, Robert's been getting really beat up
for not suspending his campaign, right?
He told you?
Nope. He didn't have to.
[KEVIN SIGHS]
- It... Hmm. - How bad is it?
- You know what? I wouldn't say that bad. - That's because he won't let you.
But what's the plan? What's the counter-strategy?
Oh, great, you don't have one.
You know what? I'm kind of caught here between a rock and his wife,
- so can we just...? - Oh, come on, Kevin.
- He's not doing anything. - Ugh.
It's like the rope-a-dope with no plan of coming off the ropes
- and actually throwing any punches. - All right, so, what are we gonna do?
Let him suspend. Clean, dignified break.
Why let him limp through a campaign he doesn't even wanna be a part of?
- All he wants is to be here with you. - Well, too bad. He can't.
Why not? You know, you keep asking us to keep on living normally.
People put things on hold when people are sick.
They do. Take care of your wife. That's acting normally!
- If he quits and I don't survive this, then... - Don't... Please do not go there, okay?
I have to go there, Kevin. I don't have a choice.
Now, you are either in denial of who Robert is
or you're in denial of how things may turn out for me, okay?
If he quits and I die, then what?
We're not gonna let that happen and you're gonna help me.
- Robert needs this. Especially if... - Please. One condition.
- What? - No more "if-ing".
- You're getting better. That's that. - Okay. Fine. I'm getting better.
[KEVIN SIGHS]
- So how do we help him? - I think I have an idea.
I know that going for an internship right now may not be the best idea, but l...
Has someone in your family been diagnosed with cancer?
Yeah. Um... My sister Kitty.
It's lymphoma. Stage three.
- How did you know that she...? - Because I've seen this before.
A sudden academic fire, newfound interest in oncology. I'm sorry.
- You know, I just wanna help somehow. - And there's nothing wrong with that.
Many of the greatest advances in medicine, in every branch of science,
has been made by people who have very personal motives.
Then why is going for an internship a bad idea?
Justin, because there is a right way and a wrong way to go about things.
Taking on so much in your first year and then, God forbid, you fail?
How does that help anybody?
Yeah, you're right. I get it.
And now, ahem, about Carter.
Carter. Yeah, he, uh, wants a new lab partner.
- Well, he is brilliant. - So he tells me.
But he's so afraid of failure that he can't think straight.
Yeah, well, me too.
No, but you have more practical life experience
than any student I've had in years.
And he's had less life than anyone I've ever met.
You want me to get him laid?
Ha-ha-ha. No, Mr. Walker, I want you to teach him by example
how to get along with people in the real world.
- Yeah, l... Yeah, I can do that. - Good.
And look, someday you may become an extraordinary oncologist
able to help people like your sister.
But every journey starts with the first step.
And in this case, the first step is the hand.
- Start with the hand. - Mm.
HOLLY: Hey. - Hey.
I left my cell phone in the car.
[CHUCKLES]
I'm surprised that you wanted to meet me here.
No, I asked you because I wanted your opinion.
- Yeah. - But, um, I also really need to apologize.
I'm sorry. I was frustrated and I took it out on you, and I shouldn't have.
I promise I won't be all bridezilla for the rest of the wedding planning.
Ha, ha. You weren't that bad.
And I'm sure it was really annoying, me picking up the phone all the time.
No, no. Is everything okay?
Yeah. Everything is great now.
I got enough juice that we can start production on our new blend.
- That's great. - Yeah, it's great.
But today is about you and your wedding.
So, what do you think about this place?
REBECCA: Oh, Mom. - Hmm?
- Is it me or do all of these places suck? - No, you're right.
None of these places has been right for you and Justin.
- So let's just take a step back, all right? - Mm-hm.
Okay. So, now, when you think about your wedding, what do you picture?
I don't have a picture.
Where was I when all these little girls were staging
fake weddings in their bedrooms?
Outside in the backyard, splashing in the mud
and begging me to let you stay out for "five more minutes, please, Mommy."
You would stay out as long as I would let you.
You and that stuffed dolphin that I got you at SeaWorld.
- Running through the ferns. - Awoka-woka.
- Awoka-what? - Awoka-woka. That's it.
- What? - I know where we should get married.
- Great. - Thank you.
[KNOCKING]
- Hey. - Hey.
If you're not up for company, I can come back.
No, no. I am. Come on in.
How are you feeling?
I'm tired, but you know, I'm actually not that bad.
- Good. Or not good. - No, I...
It's good.
Mom, are you angry about yesterday?
[CHUCKLES]
No. I am over it.
Whatever it was, I'm over it.
You're the one that knows what's best for you,
and whatever you want or don't want me,
- just tell me what to do and I'll do it. - Mom, you're already doing it.
- I feel like I'm not doing enough. - Well, you can't cure me.
I wish I could pull every bit of that cancer out of you and put it in me instead.
I wish it were me.
I know. That's why I couldn't have you with me yesterday.
I didn't wanna put you through that and...
And besides, if you cry, I cry.
- Did Sarah do okay? - Yeah, Sarah did great.
[KITTY GROANS]
- What? - It's just this injection site, it's pretty sore.
I don't know. Dr. Avadon said they're gonna maybe put in a chest catheter.
It makes it easier.
I don't wanna cry.
It's okay.
You can cry, Mom.
[BOTH CRYING]
- Hey. - Hey.
Are you at a good place to take a break?
Sure, if you can help me remember the erector spinae muscles.
- Mm. - There's iliocostalis, uh,
longissimus, spinalis.
I'm just trying to get a head start on next week's work.
I.L.S. Um...
I Love Sex. Erector. Sex.
- Yeah. I'm into that. - Ha, ha.
I got it. I.L.S.
What's going on?
Okay, um, so you know how you said that, you know, little girls play bride?
Well, I didn't.
But I did play The Isle of Awoka-woka.
I would go outside with my stuffed animal, Bradmore, this little dolphin,
and we'd get stranded on a deserted island.
But instead of being sad, we would be happy
because, you know, there were palm trees and tiki torches and coconut desserts.
It was perfect. And it was everything that I ever wanted on this little island.
Please tell me this means a wedding in Hawaii.
- Oh, I love that. I love that. - Yeah?
Yeah, and you can surf.
- Oh, maybe a little bit of this? Yeah. - A little of that?
JUSTIN: A little hula dancing. - Yeah.
This.
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
What do you say to people
that think that Robert should suspend his campaign?
Well, I would say that that would be a real tragedy
for the people of California.
California needs Robert McCallister, and he will be there for us.
He'll be there for all of us.
Now, Robert needs to continue to fight his battle
just like I need to continue to fight mine.
I don't think you'll find either of us cowering.
[BUZZES]
- What is this? KEVIN [OVER PHONE]: Polls going up.
Her idea.
I also truly believe that Robert has this uncanny ability to stay focused.
[ON TV] Even when he needs to make hard judgments.
You seem well, Kitty.
I mean you sound incredibly positive in light of this difficult situation.
- How do you achieve that? - With a lot of help.
I am surrounded by so much love and support
ever since my diagnosis.
My husband, my mother, my siblings,
everybody has really, really rallied around me.
[BREEZY POP MUSIC PLAYING]
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Hey, Mom. It's so funny you called.
I was just in this gorgeous patisserie. They had those little pastries you love.
She's got what?
Oh.
I'll be home tomorrow. Okay.
Sarah, what's wrong?
It's my sister. I've gotta go home.
- I've gotta go. I'm sorry. - Sarah.
INTERVIEWER [ON TV]: Thank you for speaking with us today, Kitty.
Well, thank you. It's my pleasure.
INTERVIEWER: That was pundit and blogger Kitty McCallister,
wife of Senator Robert McCallister.
- I thought we had an arrangement. - Which one was that?
That you were gonna concentrate on getting well
and leave the campaigning to me.
Hmm. Right. But you weren't holding up your end of the bargain.
It's not healthy for you. You need to ignore it.
Well, then you need to allow me to ignore it.
Stop throwing the game.
That's your plan, right?
I'd still be a senator.
I just wouldn't be in the middle of this campaign.
No. I know what this is about. This is about us.
This is about... This is about us before.
What if I'm not that guy anymore?
What if I don't want it at any cost?
Because I know that you are the most important thing to me.
And I didn't know that before. And I...
I'm ashamed of that.
Honey.
- You don't owe me anything. - Yes, I do.
Well, then you can't stop being an example.
- What do you mean? - You never give up.
I don't want you to give up now.
Please.
All right.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Just a second.
Pardon me. I'm lost.
I was wondering if you could help me.
Oh, my God. Oh.
