Wow, what's all this?
Oh, I'm doing all the costumes for Cooper's play.
What?
Nothing, nothing. I think you look real cute with your needle and thread.
Like my grandmother darning a sock.
- Okay, just joking. - Not funny.
So any big plans today, birthday girl?
Thought I forgot?
No. You know me, Luc.
I don't really like to make a big deal about my birthday. Just let it go.
Yeah, but this one is the big one, okay?
Yeah, so let me at least take you out to dinner.
Uh. Okay. You know, um, I've really gotta finish all these costumes.
- I've got this headdress I've gotta do... - Whoa, whoa, Wait. Um...
I set it up. Please. You have to come with me.
It's just you and I. It's great food, great wine.
Please, it's important to me.
- Just the two of us. - Just the two of us.
- Yeah. - Okay, yes, yes, yes.
[PHONE RINGING]
- Hi, Kevin. - Do you wanna call Sarah
and sing "Happy Birthday" in a round? It really annoys her.
- How bored are you? - Very.
Why doesn't this woman have a real coffee maker?
- What woman? - The woman I rented this house from.
What's her name? Here you go. "Leslie Culpepper."
So how is it up in Ojai? Have you found yourself yet?
Um. Well, not exactly.
But I have discovered that peace and quiet is actually very quiet and peaceful.
- As long as your siblings don't call. - Oh, what? Country life, you like it?
Don't tell me you're getting all Little House on the Prairie on us.
Uh, you know, I am.
I'll gonna start churning butter before you know it
and I'm gonna grow one of those crazy long ponytails down my back
or maybe a bun.
Are we singing or not?
[PHONE RINGING]
- Hello? [SINGS]
Stop that right there. The only thing more annoying
than listening to you sing is if Kevin joins in a round.
- Hi, Sarah. - Oh.
- Hi, Kevin. - Hey.
So, Sarah, how does it feel to be the older sister?
Oh, good, good. You know, it's good, it's good.
It's like any other year.
I can't believe how old we're getting. So depressed.
Yeah. So, um, Kitty, how is it going up in Ojai? Sorry.
KITTY: You know, I actually think I like it. I mean, it's very simple.
People cook, people garden.
- [MOUTHS] Do you have to go? - Nobody recognizes me.
I could be anybody.
It's like that summer at camp I told everyone I was a teenage spy.
KITTY: Oh, my God, soufflé.
I've always wanted to make soufflé.
I swear to you this time I'm gonna learn how to cook.
See you tonight.
[KEVIN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
Okay, listen. Here's the deal.
No one is gonna talk anymore about my birthday.
- Okay? - Why?
There'll be no presents, no flowers and absolutely no cake with candles.
- What are you talking about? - I'm just not into it this year.
That's gonna be really hard, Sarah,
because Luc is planning a surprise dinner for you.
No, he's not. No. No. We're just going out.
Just the two of us, very low-key.
Wrong. It's at the restaurant. We're all invited.
I'm sorry, Sarah. I know how you hate surprises.
Okay, listen, you've got to call him. Kitty, call and tell him that you can't make it.
You live up in Ojai. It's a really good excuse.
- What's my excuse? I live upstairs. SARAH: I don't know.
You've got to wash your hair. Kevin, I don't care. You're not going.
Wait a minute. You really don't want me to come?
- No. - Come on, it'll be fun.
- Remember your 40th? I was so drunk. - Yes, I do. That's the problem.
Well, why is it a problem?
Because Luc thinks today is my 40th birthday.
Sarah. I'm impressed.
Oh, my God, you've been lying about your age all this time?
Yes. So just... You have to keep your mouth shut. The two of you, okay?
- Good luck with that. At some point... - Aah!
KITTY: Oh, my God! No, no. - Kitty, are you all right?
You know what? Everything's fine. Everything's fine.
It's just, uh, a little plumbing issue.
No, no. See, you didn't do this right.
You just hit tab. And it automatically adds it for you.
- Oh, okay. Sorry. - Yeah.
I know back in the day they did things differently,
but this is the 21st century, Nora.
- You can throw out your abacus. - Ha.
Yeah. I'll just do that. Throw out my abacus.
Oh, sorry.
Okay.
Well, that was snarky.
Yes. Can I help...
- Celia? - Hi, Nora.
Oh, my goodness. Celia, I almost didn't recognize... You look fabulous.
Oh, thank you. What are you doing here?
I'm just trying to reinvent myself.
Me and my abacus.
Oh, sweetie, there are easier ways to reinvent yourself, you know?
My son-in-law. He's a genius.
- "Dr. Howard Brentley." - Yeah, a real artist. I'm telling you.
Celia. Oh, my gosh.
Well, you look amazing.
I was losing listings to all the younger, prettier girls
and I thought if I wanna compete in the work force,
then what goes up, you know, must stay up.
- I never would've known. - It's like I just woke up from a long nap.
- Or a coma. - Ha, ha.
And my boobs. I mean, they're back up where I can actually see them again.
They're up where everyone can see them.
- Oh, and look. - You got your hands done?
No, silly. I'm engaged to a really wonderful man.
We met on a cruise.
I mean, he's six years younger than I am, but who's counting?
Wow.
- So your whole life changed just like that. - Yeah. I mean, it's out-patient surgery.
A couple weeks on the couch, popping pills, watching General Hospital,
and, poof, it's like magic.
You want me to see if I can get the good doctor
to squeeze you in for a consultation?
Well, I, um...
- Well... - Nora, everyone's doing it.
- They are? - Oh, yeah.
Take back your power, honey. You won't regret it.
Ah.
- Rebecca? Rebecca? - Dad. Hey.
Hold on one second. No, they want an overview
at the meeting, so I need those shipping reports.
Okay? Yeah, no, I gotta go. Okay, thanks.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Is everything okay? - Uh, yeah.
- Actually, it's better than okay. - Here. Sit down.
- Yeah? What's going on? How's Mom? - Oh, she's getting better.
You know, she's never going to get all of her memory back,
- but she's less frustrated now, so... - Good.
Listen, I can't make any promises, but I think she's ready to see you.
What? I mean, last time she didn't even know who I was
and she was so upset. The doctors said...
Well, I know what the doctor said, but she's been asking about you a lot.
- Really? - Yeah.
Yeah. She, uh... She heard some stories about you
and for whatever reason they seem to have gotten through.
Yeah, I think she finally really grasps that she has a daughter.
Oh, my God.
- So I can see her. Like, soon? - How about tonight?
Wow. So, what did you tell her? What stories did you tell her?
Uh, actually, it wasn't me.
- Who was it? - It was Justin.
I'm just gonna tell him that I don't feel well.
Oh, Sarah, you can't cancel. He's been working on this for weeks.
He'll be so disappointed.
You have to promise me, Mom, that you are not gonna let the cat out of the bag.
You know how you like to blurt things out at the worst possible time.
I don't do th... I'm not a blurter.
- You're a blurter. - I'm not a blurter.
I think I need more time to figure out how I'm gonna break this to him gently.
I don't know why you let this go on so long.
I mean, look at him, Mom. He's an underwear model.
He wasn't an underwear model when you met him.
No, he wasn't, but he looked like one.
Forgive me. Sometimes I'm a little intimidated.
So, what, you thought shaving a couple of years off would make you feel better?
Mom, we were in France.
I thought I was never gonna see him again
and it seemed a perfectly rational thing to do at the time.
[PHONE RINGING]
Would you see who that is, please?
"Dr. Brentley"? Who's that?
Nobody. Just push the ignore button.
- You all right, Mom? - Yes.
- You sure? - Positive.
Oh, my God.
You're dying, aren't you?
- No, Sarah. - You are.
- You're dying. - I'm not dying. All right, all right.
- He's a plastic surgeon, okay? - Oh!
He said he would try to squeeze me in this afternoon for a consultation.
And don't even start, missy, with all of your wisecracks.
You have no idea how hard it is
for a woman my age to compete in the workplace.
What am I supposed to do? Work in a flower shop the rest of my life?
Or maybe I should be a wheelchair tester.
- Is that even a thing? - Ugh.
I just...
I just wanna feel better about myself and right now I feel old.
It's okay, Mom. I get it.
I mean, I really get it.
I used to be one of those women who laughed at people that had work done.
Now it doesn't seem quite so funny.
Oh, Sarah, no. You're way too young and pretty.
Thank you, but...
I'm supposed to be 40.
I was just thinking maybe a little, you know...
- Really? - Mm-hm.
Well, maybe you should come with me today.
- Okay. - Great.
JUSTIN: Coming.
- Hi. - Hey.
You look different.
- Oh, it's probably my hair. - Yeah.
- Uh, come in. - You know, I can't stay, actually.
I've been home for weeks, calling...
You know, I really wanted to say thank you for talking to my mother.
Yeah.
- Your dad say something? - Yeah,
he said it might really be helping, so...
I'm going over there today to see her
and, you know, I guess I'm just curious, you know. What you told her.
Um, nothing.
- You're really not gonna tell me? - You're really not gonna come in?
- We can't go back to the way things were. - What? Why not?
Pretending nothing happened. You know exactly why.
I'm sorry. This was a bad idea.
Rebecca, look, I told her how we fell in love.
From the moment I saw you and how weird it was,
but I couldn't stop thinking about you.
And how I took you up on the hill
- and we kissed for the first time. - Yeah, I get it.
Rebecca, come in the house.
I can't. I'm sorry.
MAN: There isn't too much damage.
I should be able to get it up and working in an hour, two max.
Wow, heh.
Wow, well, that's great. Thanks very much.
Sorry it took me so long to get here. Traffic on the bridge.
Yeah, you know, I, um, kind of grew up here, so I totally get it.
I thought you looked kind of familiar.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
You've probably seen me at the farmers' market and...
But, you know, I wanted to just say thank you for coming on such short notice
because it definitely was kind of an emergency.
No problem at all. Anything to keep me from this other job I'm working on.
Renters from the city.
They walk around with those Bluetooth things attached to their ears all day.
Yeah, no, that is terrible. I...
Ugh. Like, totally, totally know the type.
It's like they're so busy climbing that ladder,
they're missing out on everything else. The simple things, you know?
- Yeah, I know. - Before you know it,
another beautiful day has come and gone, they haven't even noticed.
Sad, isn't it?
Uh, yeah, yeah. It is. It is sad.
- Agents, plastic surgeons, movie stars. - Yeah. Yeah.
We get them all up here. The politicians are the worst.
[COUGHS]
It's a... Let's...
Totally fine. Totally fine. Just went down the wrong pipe.
I don't need to tell you. You grew up here. You know what I'm talking about.
I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Jack. Jack Randall.
Hi.
And you are?
Culpepper. I'm Leslie Culpepper.
Nice to meet you, Leslie.
[COUGHING]
Would you mind handing me that wrench?
Sure. Um.
Uh, here. There you go.
- Uh, those are pliers. - Oh, right.
- It's the red one in there. - Yeah, right. Of course.
- Oh, that's heavy. - Thanks.
I really like what you've done with the kitchen. It's very homey.
I bet you get a lot of cooking done in here.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I do a lot of cooking.
What's your specialty?
Oh, I think it's probably frying.
Yeah, I'm a pretty good fryer.
KEVIN: Kitty?
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Kit.
JACK: Uh.
- I think you've got a visitor. - Yeah, you know what? That's right.
- It's my neighbor. My neighbor. KEVIN: Kitty.
He's probably looking for his cat again.
KEVIN: Kit. - I'll be right back.
- There you are. Hi. - Hi.
Hi. Kevin, what are you doing here?
I thought I'd check on you. What was the plumbing emergency about?
Oh, that's fine. No, that's totally fine.
No, no. You're... It's all good. It's all fine. It's good.
Oh, okay, great.
Well, you know how hard it is to find this place?
I've been driving around in circles for an hour.
Kevin, look, it's very, very sweet of you to come all the way up here to check on me,
but see, I'm, um, trying to find myself.
And I can't find myself if everybody else is trying to find me too.
- But I've just spent... - No, buts. Sorry.
Sorry. But I need you to take your GPS and go back to wherever you came from.
JACK: Leslie? - Are you...?
- What was that? - What was what?
- Someone said "Leslie." - They did?
- Kitty. - What?
There you are. You're all set back there, Leslie.
Okay, great. Thanks.
- Hi. - Hey.
You must be the neighbor.
He is. He is. He's the neighbor. Aren't you?
I am.
And sadly the neighbor, Kevin, has to leave, right?
No, no. I've got nowhere to go, Leslie.
I hate that my face is so disorganized now.
It used to be so neat and sleek. Everything in its proper place.
Now my cheeks are where my chin used to be.
My chin is down with my neck. It's just a mess.
I feel like I've been hanging in the closet too long.
- Mom, this guy is really good. - Well, that's what Celia says.
She says he's a genius.
No, Mom. He is an artist. Check these out.
See how they kind of point up to the ceiling? Like a Michelangelo.
They used to be called champagne glasses.
I had a pair like that before all you kids were born.
Kitty has them now.
Well, Kitty might've got the champagne glasses, but I got the jugs.
Though lately they seem more like a pair of old empty socks.
Can we please look at some pictures a little higher up?
Okay. How about brow lift?
Upper lid modification and contouring.
Brow lift. I don't think I want to look permanently petrified, do I?
- No. Mom, that's not pretty. - Maybe just mildly surprised.
Mom, stop it. You're scaring me.
I just wanna feel pretty, that's all.
I miss the feeling that when you walk by a man,
maybe he'll turn around and look.
When that's gone you just don't feel like you exist anymore.
Nowadays, if a man turns and looks at me,
it's usually to tell me I left my car lights on.
Oh, Mom.
Which can be very helpful because no one wants a dead battery.
True.
Biggest catfish I ever saw.
So I says to Leslie, "We'll have to take it home to cook."
Right there she guts it, debones it, fries it up in front of me.
Damnedest thing I ever saw. But that's just the way she rolls. Speaking of rolls...
Kevin. Kevin, stop.
We don't want to bore poor Jack.
I should, uh, probably get my things anyway.
I have another job to get to.
You mind if I use your washroom?
Oh, gosh. Not at all. Not at all. It's right over there to the left.
- What are you doing? - What am I doing?
- Yes. What are you doing? - I'm not Leslie.
Look, Kevin, that was an accident. No, it was.
He was going on and on about city people who come here and ruin it for everybody.
And he said that the politicians were the worst.
- Well... - For some strange reason
he didn't recognize me and I didn't wanna embarrass the guy.
Plus, I'm not so keen on being myself right now, so fine, okay?
It was a two bird, one stone kind of thing.
And the fact that he's smoking hot has nothing to do with it.
- What? - Don't pretend like you haven't noticed.
- I'm feeling the chemistry here. - Oh, my God. You're insane.
Kevin, I just buried my husband.
Okay, Kit, besides you, there is no one who misses Robert more than I do.
But we both know that he left us a long time ago.
It is okay to think about the future.
You might not know that, but I think Leslie does.
Okay, well, I'm out of here. It was nice meeting you, Leslie.
Oh, it was really nice to meet you too, Jack.
- What are you doing tonight? - What...?
- Uh, why do you ask? - Leslie was gonna cook me dinner,
but now I have a thing, so she'll be all alone.
- Kevin. - A shame to waste all that good food.
You know what? Don't listen to him. He's medicated.
No, he's right, it would be a shame.
Oh.
Well, okay.
Okay, well, okay, do you wanna come back and have dinner with me later?
Sure. I'll bring a bottle of wine. What are you cooking?
Yeah, Leslie. What are you cooking?
- A soufflé. JACK: Great.
- Eight o'clock, okay? - Eight would be, um, great.
- I'll see you then. KITTY: Okay.
- Eight would be great? - Well...
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]
- Justin. - Hey. I'm running a little late.
We have a party to go to.
I know. Five more minutes and then I'll jump in the shower, all right?
Feels good to paint this a new color.
- What was wrong with the old color? - Rebecca picked it out.
This one's called Elephant Ear. What do you think? Is it different enough?
If not, I think I have one here, uh, Rainy Sundays.
- That's a little depressing. - Excuse me.
Would you tell me what's going on, please?
Rebecca was here.
- Okay, when? - A couple of hours ago.
- She didn't even come in. - Come on, give her a break.
- I mean, she probably was scared. - No, I know she was scared.
Believe me, I've had that same look on my face.
When you're staring at something you can't have,
but you have to remind yourself to resist it. L...
- It was like a test. She... - I'm sorry, Justin.
I hate being in this place to begin with
and now all I see is her standing at the door.
Look, I've changed, Saul.
The whole family keeps telling me that, so why won't she give me a chance?
- Why can't she see that? - Well, maybe she will.
Or maybe you won't need her to.
These things take time.
I tell you, I do know this.
One day you're gonna wake up and not even remember
what color these walls were.
It'll be just like they were Elephant Ear all along.
I wish it were that simple.
She'll be out in a minute.
Are you sure this is a good idea?
I mean, the last time I saw her, it was like we were complete strangers.
Well, she's been asking about you every day for the last week.
I don't know if it's because she's starting to remember you
or if she's just remembering the things we told her about you, but...
- That's a big difference. - Yeah, well, we can hope.
Otherwise, you'll start from the beginning. You know, build new memories.
- What should we talk about? - Start simple.
Talk about things from when you were young.
- Um, dance class, maybe? - Ballet class?
Hi, Rebecca. You're here.
Mom. Hi.
Hi.
This is such a special occasion and I wanna thank Scotty for making it perfect.
- Yeah. Well, anything for the birthday girl. - Thank you.
And Kitty really wanted to be here, but she's got a lot going on up in Ojai.
Actually, it's nice just to have a small intimate celebration.
It's good. I like it.
I'm going to get the next course. Um, Luc, would you mind helping me in the kitchen?
Of course. We'll be right back.
[MELLOW POP MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]
KEVIN: I cannot believe you're pulling this off.
You're such a good liar. She'd have made a great lawyer.
Sarah, this is ridiculous. You have to tell him the truth about your age.
I will, Mom. I will. When I'm 80.
Well, maybe next year I'll have my 30th, what do you think?
Ha.
[PHONE RINGING]
- Oh, it's Kitty. - Oh, I'm so glad she didn't come.
She would never have been able to keep her mouth...
- Hi, Kit. - Kevin, this is all your fault.
I can't tell whether the stupid thing is done or not.
I'm not allowed to open the oven. I mean, you come up here
and you start filling my head with this stuff.
I'm putting you on speaker phone.
And now I'm having dinner with some lumberjack that I don't even know.
- Okay, slow down. - Why did I say I was gonna make soufflé?
I could've made a chicken.
Because it's perfect. Come on. Relax. How hard can a soufflé be?
- Give me that. - Okay?
- It's okay, honey. I'm here. - How do you know
- when a soufflé is finished? - She's cooking.
Well, I don't know. What time did you put it in?
Oh, God. I don't know. What, like three Chardonnays ago?
- Well, that could be the problem. - Okay, why is Kitty cooking?
She's changing it up, getting out of her comfort zone.
- It's good for her. - Huh.
Speaking of changing it up, you'll never believe where Mom and I went today.
- Where? - Plastic surgeon.
You're kidding. I wanna get my eyes done.
- Yeah? For real? - Yeah. Which surgeon?
- Oh, he was... - Sarah. That was our secret.
Secret? Well, why do you have a secret with Sarah?
- Well, it's only Kevin, Mom. - Yeah.
Stop it. Now stop it, Sarah.
- I told you that it was private. KITTY: Private?
Are you trying to embarrass me?
No. Not at all. I really didn't think it was such a big deal.
You know, this isn't fair. I always miss all the good stuff.
Kitty, focus. Focus. All right.
Kitty, now listen.
Did you beat the egg whites until they were stiff?
No, Mother, I beat them until they were dead.
Well, then, I think you should just take it out.
Really?
Okay. Okay, I can do that.
I can do that. Here I go. I'm taking it out.
I'm taking it out. Okay. Okay.
Okay. Okay, easy does it.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God, Mom.
Mom, this is the fluffiest, most beautiful thing
I have ever seen in my entire life.
- Oh, honey. You did it. - I made a soufflé.
I'm a soufflé maker. I did it. L...
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Oh, my God. Mom. Mom, something is happening.
Something very weird is happening. It's dying.
Oh, no. It's melting.
- Oh, no. - What? Is it... Okay. Okay.
Okay, that's fine. But how do I make it stop?
I'm sorry, honey. You can't.
- Leslie? - Jack.
SARAH: Who's Jack? - Can I come in?
- You're early. NORA: Who's early? Jack?
Who's Jack? Honey, who's there?
Kitty, are you there?
- Kitty? Kit...? - Ha, ha.
- Your neighbor still looking for that cat? - Yeah.
Yeah, it... Yeah, is that...
Yeah, you haven't seen a sort of a cat named Kitty?
- Everything okay in here? - Well, yeah.
Yeah, of course. Why? Everything's fine.
Okay.
Okay. You know what? No. No, everything is not fine.
Everything is so not fine.
Wanna know something? I don't know how to make a soufflé.
Know something else? I don't know how to work the coffee pot, if you can believe that.
- Oh, I believe it. - Oh, you know what else? I don't live here.
Okay? I don't own this house.
I'm just one of the renters from the city that you hate.
I came up here to find myself, like some sort of Eat, Pray, Love thing.
But now I've dragged you into the whole thing.
Oh, right. And my name isn't Leslie.
My name is Kitty. Kitty Walker-McCallister.
Politician, right? The...
I knew you looked familiar.
Yeah, well, I'm sorry I misrepre... Aah! ...sented myself.
- Classic politician move, by the way. - Okay, fine. Right. You're right.
You're right. You know what? You don't have to stick around for this.
Just... I'm just gonna clean up.
Are you sure? Because I don't mind helping out.
Jack. Jack. You know what? Please. Please. Okay?
You know what? I gave it a shot. I did.
I gave it a shot and it just collapsed and that's okay.
You know, what are you gonna do? But you know what?
I have completely humiliated myself enough,
so I would really appreciate it if you could just leave.
Okay? Hurry up before the bugs get in.
Okay. Well, uh, I guess I'll see you around.
Yeah. See you around.
Come on, Mom. I already said I was sorry.
Nope. Don't think she's talking to you.
Listen, it's nothing to be ashamed of.
Everyone gets plastic surgery done these days. She...
Sarah. God, would you keep your voice down?
Do you have to tell the whole restaurant? It's bad enough you told Kevin.
- I'm not judging. - Mom, it's no big deal. I mean, it's funny.
Well, I'm glad you thought it was funny, Miss 40-Something
with a model boyfriend, but in case you hadn't noticed, I'm not laughing.
Look, Mom, I don't mean to be insensitive.
- One day I'll be as old as you. - Well, that's fine, but you're not now.
It's embarrassing and humiliating to be an older woman
in this country where everything of value is young and new.
And I, very clearly, am not.
SAUL: Oh, sorry we're late. - Hey.
My God. What are you guys doing here?
- I thought you couldn't make it. - No. It's my fault. Sorry.
I got caught up and I hijacked Saul.
- Rebecca stopped by. - Saul.
- Are you two getting back together? - No. We're not.
Justin, wait, stop. Give her some time.
- Is she still mad? - Yes, Mom, she's still mad at me.
Could you sit down together, apologize...
This is not something we can work out with an apology,
- so let's just drop it. - Okay.
What? Justin, that would be a start.
Look, sweetheart, you have to talk all of this out.
- That's what you have to do. - Mom.
- Honestly, she'll come back... - No, she won't, Mom.
- Well, how do you know that? - Because we're divorced. We're divorced.
Look, she filed for the papers while I was in Afghanistan. It's over. So drop it.
- Oh, my God. - Justin, I'm so sorry.
- Drop it. SCOTTY: You guys made it.
Perfect timing because...
No, no, no, wait, wait, wait.
Before we sing, there is just one thing I wanna say.
All right, Sarah. Uh...
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
In English, "There's only one happiness in life, is to love and be loved."
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
Wait, 40? Yeah, right, Sarah.
Like, 30 years ago.
KEVIN: Oh, Justin.
- Have I been talking too much? - No, no, go on. I love listening.
Okay. Well, um, these were the people that when I started working there,
wouldn't even listen to my opinion.
Yeah, remember how excited you were when she got the job?
It was like they had this preconceived notion
of who I am because I happen to be young and female.
Oh, I know how that feels. Trust me.
Right. So, um, I was just really excited when they finally got it
and they started to listen.
You must be really proud of yourself. I am.
Why don't I leave the two of you alone for a bit?
- Is that okay? - Oh, yeah, it's fine.
- I'll just be in the other room. - Okay.
You don't know how nice this is just sitting here with you.
It is nice.
[CHUCKLES]
This may seem silly, but, um, you know, when I was a little girl,
I used to go to these dance classes on Sundays.
Ballet.
- Yes. Yes. Ballet. - Ha-ha-ha.
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... - No, no. Don't worry. I'm fine.
I didn't realize how much I missed this.
You know, all year I just wanted to sit with my mom.
Talk about anything, even if it is a stupid ballet class.
Honey, it's okay.
I am sure you'll find your mother.
What? What did I say?
No, nothing. I just... I'm sorry. I just thought...
No, no. I upset you. I mean, look at you, you're crying.
- No, I'm... Mom, I'm fine. - Why are you calling me that?
I'm sorry, but I still don't quite understand.
I know I should, but I...
Oh, my God.
- David? No. I'm not really doing so well. - Holly, I'm your daughter, Rebecca.
I'm a little tired. David, what is going on?
- I knew this would happen. - That's Rebecca, Holly. Remember?
- I showed you the pictures. - Stop. She doesn't remember who I am.
- No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. - Rebecca, wait a minute. Wait.
I am so sorry. I'm sorry.
No, Holly, it's okay. It's all right. Come here.
It's okay. It's not your fault.
Oh, God, I need a drink.
- Stop laughing at me, you. - I'm sorry. I think it's funny.
I never meant for it to go on so long.
I honestly didn't think we'd be spending a whole lot of birthdays together.
- Why not? - I don't know.
A girl like me, a boy like you.
Uh, excuse me, may I have a whiskey?
- Make it a double. MAN: Sure thing.
- Make it two, please. Thank you. MAN: Yes, sir.
Sarah, I know how old you are. I've always known.
- What do you mean you've known? - You do have a driver's license.
Oh, no. Luc.
God, why didn't you tell me?
I'm sorry, but in France, we just don't talk about women's age.
- Not nice. - So depressing.
So I thought I would play along.
And I didn't know Scotty would write it on the cake, so sorry.
To you.
Okay, now I can go home.
Come on, Junior. It's past my bedtime.
JACK: Leslie? - Oh.
JACK: Uh, I mean, Kitty.
Oh, God. Oh, God. Not you again.
- Hi. - Hey. Uh,
I was just grabbing a pizza down the road
and I thought, well, she's not gonna eat that mess. No offense.
- None taken. - You hungry?
I'm starving.
Wow, look at what you did. That is... But you know what?
You didn't have to do this. You really didn't.
You don't have to take pity on me.
Who said it was pity?
Well, thank you.
Oh, you know, I opened up that wine.
- Would you like some? - Uh, yeah, sure.
Yeah. So I'm sorry.
Sorry about the whole identity thing. It just...
I mean, well, yes, in retrospect, it seems pretty crazy.
Well, I don't think what you're doing is crazy at all.
I mean, the whole lying about your name thing, okay,
but trying to be someone new? Reinventing yourself?
- That's kind of great. - Really?
Most people don't have the guts to just take off. Start over.
I respect that.
Well, do you ever feel that sometimes you missed out
on being who you were supposed to be
because you're so busy being who everybody expected you to be?
Yeah. I used to.
Ah, thank you.
Well, I guess it's just time for me to try to figure out
who I was supposed to be after all.
- May I make a suggestion? - Mm-hm.
- Let's cross chef off the list. - Done.
You happen to have any interest
- in carpentry? - Carpentry?
Well, I'm supposed to build a pergola tomorrow
and you're welcome to come along if you'd like.
[LAUGHING]
You really think that I would be able to build, um, a pergola?
No, but then we could at least cross that off the list too.
Oh. Oh, I see. You're a comedian. Very funny.
He didn't tell us? Not at all? All that time he just didn't say anything?
Well, I think he was probably ashamed.
Also, I think he felt that he could get Rebecca back
and then nobody would ever have to know.
But he tried so hard. These things happen.
- He had nothing to be ashamed of. - Yes, I agree.
And neither do you, I might add.
What does that mean?
Look, I heard what you all were talking about when I walked in.
God. Okay, I went to see a plastic surgeon.
- Why, Nora? That's not like you. - I don't know. I just feel...
I met William when I was so young.
It'd be one thing if I had a partner now who'd known me when I was young
and we just grew old together.
Someone who looks at me and still sees the girl I once was.
Who looks at the folds in my neck and the puckers and bags
with a kind of endearment.
Because we'd gone through life together.
And that I don't have.
I think you're lonely, sweetheart.
And rearranging your face is certainly not gonna change that.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
- Hi. - Hey.
I couldn't think of anywhere else to go.
Well, come in.
- Here. - Thank you.
[SIGHS]
I like the gray. It's nice.
Yeah?
It was gonna be Rainy Sunday. The color of the paint.
She was looking right at me, Justin. She had no idea who I was.
I just can't believe this is happening.
You know, I thought she might be getting better.
Hey, Rebecca, look. You can't give up.
All right? You can't give up.
- I already lost you. I can't lose her too. - No, no. You're not losing anybody.
- I can't. I can't do this. I can't. - Rebecca.
Justin, we're divorced. I can't be here with you like this.
- Why not? - It'll feel too comfortable
and it'll feel too good and I'll wanna stay forever.
- What's wrong with that? - I can't trust you, Justin.
Rebecca, I'm a different guy than I was last year.
- How do I know that? - You don't.
You don't. But you can let me prove it to you.
- Justin. - Okay, Rebecca,
you wanna know why I haven't told anyone about the divorce?
Because you haven't either.
I know you haven't given up on us.
It's late. I should go home.
Rebecca, you are home.
Here. Some water.
Oh, no, thanks. I already got some.
Uh, no, for your dentures.
Luc. Oh, you are so mean.
I can't believe you knew this whole time. It is such an embarrassment.
Of course I knew. Why are you so surprised?
I don't know. I just had an irrational fear
that if you found out how much older I really was,
then you might not want me anymore.
- Why wouldn't I? - Come on, honey. It's all great now.
What about in 20 years time?
Are you gonna still like older women when I'm 60?
I don't care how old you are. It's you that I love.
Luc, what if you change your mind?
You decide you wanna have kids, a family of your own.
I won't be able to give you that.
You already have.
You are my family.
Paige and Cooper, they've become my family.
I meant what I said tonight.
The most important thing in life is to be loved.
Do you love me?
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
KITTY: Oh, my goodness. Would you look at that?
Oh, my goodness, Evan. Look at that. Look at that. They're perfect.
They're perfect. I'm telling you, you're gonna love these.
Okay, these were my favorite, favorite buns when I was a little girl.
Okay, I'm gonna teach you something very special.
This is what we call the drizzle.
Okay, are you ready? You see... You wanna try?
You want Momma to drizzle? Okay, watch.
Watch it go. Here it comes.
Drizzle, drizzle, drizzle, drizzle, drizzle, drizzle.
Drizzle, drizzle, drizzle. Ooh, glump, glump, glump. Mm.
Yummy.
Yeah. There you go, buddy.
So here's the thing. Remember that we did this
- all by ourselves, okay? - Okay.
And we're never gonna tell anybody that it came out of a can.
- Okay. - Okay. You got it?
- Yeah. - Pinky swear. Yeah.
- Good morning, Zoe. - Nora, you're late.
- No, I'm not. - I told you to come in a half an hour early.
Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.
Maybe next time you should write it down.
Nora, there's a truck out back. I want you to unload the zinnias.
Ask the guys to help you if you can't manage it on your own.
You know what? No.
What?
I quit, Zoe.
- I thought you needed a job. - Yes, I do need a job.
But not one where I'm treated like this.
Well, good luck finding a job in this economy and at your age.
- My what? - Come on, Nora. Let's be honest.
You were lucky I gave you this job. No one's gonna hire you.
And why is that, Zoe?
Because I'm 63 years old and look every blessed day of it?
Is that it? Well, I'm just fine with that
because every baby I ever had, every kiss I gave or got,
every tear, every glass of wine is right here on my face.
I own it, it's who I am.
And I don't wanna be somebody else.
You know what? I don't have to be.
Because somewhere out there, there is a job for me
where my experience will be valued and appreciated.
So, Zoe, I quit.
I'll be taking these with me.
You can take them out of my next and last paycheck.
DAVID: Holly?
Holly, are you here?
Holly.
WOMAN [OVER PHONE]: 911, what's your emergency?
I have to report a missing person.
WOMAN: What's the person's name, sir? - Holly. Holly Harper.
She's been missing since last night.
