2
00:02:14,593 --> 00:02:17,552
I don't know why, I've always
been big on happy endings.
3
00:02:17,721 --> 00:02:20,930
You see, to me, the most romantic,
beautiful love stories ever
4
00:02:20,932 --> 00:02:23,515
were the ones where
two people meet, fall in love,
5
00:02:23,518 --> 00:02:26,682
and then 50, 60 years
later, one of them dies.
6
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:28,805
And then a few days after that,
the other one dies
7
00:02:28,815 --> 00:02:31,228
because they just can't bear
to live without each other.
8
00:02:33,070 --> 00:02:34,936
Not that that's such a good example
of a happy ending.
9
00:02:34,946 --> 00:02:36,562
I mean, you got two dead people
in that example.
10
00:02:36,573 --> 00:02:39,532
But that's how I always thought things
would be for Katie and me.
11
00:02:40,494 --> 00:02:44,534
Not that we'd be dead, but that
we would be together forever.

Who wants to go first? Erin?
13
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:55,715
ERIN: Okay, my high today is that
I sat next to Austin Butler at lunch.
14
00:02:55,967 --> 00:02:57,083
Oh, that's nice.
15
00:02:57,094 --> 00:02:58,460
Is that the boy
with the three-legged dog?
16
00:02:58,470 --> 00:03:00,257
No, Joel Cummings has
the three-legged dog.
17
00:03:00,263 --> 00:03:02,129
Austin has
the turtle that snores.
18
00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:03,140
And your low?
19
00:03:04,017 --> 00:03:05,133

20

Honey, you had such
a good time last year.
23
00:03:10,482 --> 00:03:11,598
I know.
24
00:03:11,608 --> 00:03:12,724

25
00:03:12,943 --> 00:03:15,981

touch with Austin over the summer?

write to each other.
28

put those little X's and O's on there.

What was your high today?
33
00:03:28,917 --> 00:03:32,001
My high was that Gary Ellis' mom
bought a new juicer,
34
00:03:32,003 --> 00:03:34,023
and today I went over to his house
and drank a chicken.

I don't have a low.
38
00:03:38,260 --> 00:03:39,467
You've gotta
have a low.
39
00:03:39,886 --> 00:03:43,175
Look, I've been sitting here racking
my brain, and I do not have a low, okay?
40
00:03:43,181 --> 00:03:44,968
All right, all right.
What if we enter the chicken smoothie
41
00:03:44,975 --> 00:03:46,341
in the high
and low category?
42
00:03:46,351 --> 00:03:47,512
How about you, Mama?

00:03:49,146 --> 00:03:50,978
Oh, I know what your high is.
It's your anniversary.

What are you guys gonna do
tomorrow night?
46
00:03:52,649 --> 00:03:54,060
- Well, I was gonna take your mother...
- Dad's gonna take me...
47
00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:55,854
- ...out to a romantic dinner...
- ...out dancing.
48
00:03:55,861 --> 00:03:58,194
...and possibly
some dancing.

That is our high.

JOSH: Look, I'd really love to
stick around for your low,
51
00:04:02,701 --> 00:04:04,738
but the Dodgers
are playing the Giants.
52

- Go.

what we do tomorrow night.

I don't even care if we end
up at different restaurants.
57
00:04:23,638 --> 00:04:28,053
Just as long as the kids see us leaving
together and coming home together.
58
00:04:28,059 --> 00:04:29,300
Right.
59

KATIE: On our first anniversary,
I gave Ben a plastic spoon.
60
00:04:36,568 --> 00:04:39,857
You know, the takeout kind
from a Chinese restaurant?
61
00:04:39,863 --> 00:04:44,858
It was the one we had used when we shared
our first bowl of wonton soup in the park.
62
00:04:45,452 --> 00:04:49,571
He was afraid he'd lost it,
and I remember how his face lit up
63
00:04:49,581 --> 00:04:52,665
when he opened the little
jewelry box I had wrapped it in.
64
00:04:55,629 --> 00:04:57,712

in a marriage

just a spoon?"

working as a writer on this comedy show,
68
00:05:24,282 --> 00:05:25,818
and she had been
hired as a temp.
69
00:05:26,952 --> 00:05:29,114
And, I don't know.
It's hard to explain.
70
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,955
There was an instant
connection, this simpatico.
71
00:05:32,958 --> 00:05:34,244
I felt like she just got me.
72
00:05:34,835 --> 00:05:37,202
And believe me,
there is no greater feeling in this world
73
00:05:37,212 --> 00:05:39,124
than to feel gotten.

goddamn critical!

go of anything.

You hold on to
every little thing.
86
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:06,381
Why should you be
responsible for anything?
87
00:07:06,676 --> 00:07:08,636
Do you have to be
critical of every fucking thing?

everything around here.

"Debatable"? Do you
have a mustache?

(CHUCKLES) Look, kids,
the house is making a right.
117
00:08:29,426 --> 00:08:31,918
When I was in college,
we had to write a term paper,
118
00:08:31,928 --> 00:08:35,217
it was for, uh, some philosophy
course I was taking,
119
00:08:36,099 --> 00:08:38,762
on any book we considered
120
00:08:38,768 --> 00:08:42,102
to be the one that best depicted
how we viewed the world.
121
00:08:42,105 --> 00:08:45,974
And I remember some people
picking books by the great thinkers,
122
00:08:45,984 --> 00:08:49,477
like Kierkegaard and Plato.
Some kids chose the Bible.
123
00:08:50,613 --> 00:08:53,230
I did my paper on
Harold and the Purple Crayon.
124
00:08:54,117 --> 00:08:56,655
It's a small book
about a little boy
125
00:08:56,661 --> 00:09:00,780
who draws the world the way he wants
it to be with his magic crayon.
126
00:09:01,833 --> 00:09:05,452
And I... I just loved
that book because
127
00:09:05,462 --> 00:09:08,045
it was about everything
that I wasn't.
128
00:09:11,009 --> 00:09:13,626
So let me get this straight.
You wanna write crossword puzzles?
129
00:09:13,636 --> 00:09:16,344
- That's really a job somebody wants to do?
- Yes.
130
00:09:16,347 --> 00:09:18,555
- And you would get paid to do this?
- Yes.
131
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:21,141
So you actually know stuff like
"Ra is the Sun God"?
132
00:09:21,144 --> 00:09:24,854
As well as the symbol for radium
and the abbreviation for "regular army."
133
00:09:24,856 --> 00:09:27,564
Whoa. I don't know whether to be
impressed or terrified.
134
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:29,854
I find it very soothing
and reassuring,
135
00:09:29,861 --> 00:09:32,444
because you know
there are always answers.
136
00:09:32,614 --> 00:09:35,197
Yeah, but not
to the really big questions,
137
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,568
like, "Does God exist?"
"What is the meaning of life?"
138
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:40,991
"Why does my pee smell funny
when I eat asparagus?"
139
00:09:41,289 --> 00:09:43,576
Aspartic acid,
hence the name.
140
00:09:45,752 --> 00:09:47,744
And this soothes you?
141
00:09:48,463 --> 00:09:52,047
Yes. Since you'll never really find
the answers to the big questions,
142
00:09:52,050 --> 00:09:55,760
there's a comfort in finding
the answers to the little ones.
143
00:09:56,387 --> 00:10:01,178
Besides, when you finish,
there's this wonderful sense of closure,
144
00:10:01,184 --> 00:10:05,019
knowing that that little world
on that half-page is complete.
145
00:10:11,194 --> 00:10:13,481
Well, you left
yourself wide open.

(LAUGHING)
Come to Papa!
147
00:10:19,077 --> 00:10:23,822
But the problem in a marriage is,
if one person is always Harold,
148
00:10:23,832 --> 00:10:25,789
drawing the world
the way they want it to be,
149
00:10:25,792 --> 00:10:29,957
the other person has no choice
but to draw it the way it is.
150
00:10:30,797 --> 00:10:34,006
Which is probably why they never wrote
a book about Harold's wife.
151
00:10:34,008 --> 00:10:35,499
They're leaving!

168
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:13,628
- Bye.
- Bye, honey.
169
00:11:16,885 --> 00:11:18,046
Bye.
170
00:11:58,551 --> 00:11:59,712
Okay.
171
00:12:00,303 --> 00:12:04,889
Um, if you need me for anything,
I'll be at the Oceana.
172
00:12:06,059 --> 00:12:08,392
Anything comes up with the kids,
just give me a call.
173
00:12:09,103 --> 00:12:10,469
Of course.
174
00:12:14,651 --> 00:12:17,439
Isn't this the moment
where one of us is supposed to say,
175
00:12:17,445 --> 00:12:20,062
"Look, this is ridiculous.
We love each other.
176
00:12:20,073 --> 00:12:22,656
"All couples go through this.
Let's give it another try"?
177
00:12:42,136 --> 00:12:43,627
(DOOR CLOSES)
178
00:12:46,391 --> 00:12:48,599
My ass was on television
this morning.
179
00:12:50,019 --> 00:12:51,135
What are you
telling us?
180
00:12:51,312 --> 00:12:53,304
I'm telling you,
my ass was on television.
181
00:12:53,648 --> 00:12:55,765
Oh, that's right.
That was that special.
182
00:12:55,775 --> 00:12:58,643
The Kennedy Center Salutes
50 Years of Stan's Ass.
183
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:00,902
I went to the doctor,
he took this tube
184
00:13:00,905 --> 00:13:02,817
that had a little camera
on the end of it,
185
00:13:02,824 --> 00:13:06,568
stuck it up my ass, and we watched it
on a monitor in his office.
186
00:13:06,577 --> 00:13:08,944
- You had a sigmoidoscopy?
- Exactly.
187
00:13:08,955 --> 00:13:11,163
That's a hell of a lot different
than your ass being on television.
188
00:13:11,165 --> 00:13:12,281
How?
189
00:13:12,292 --> 00:13:13,373
Well, first of all,
let's start with the fact
190
00:13:13,376 --> 00:13:15,333
that a network
can't cancel your ass.
191
00:13:15,336 --> 00:13:16,452
Point well taken.
192
00:13:16,462 --> 00:13:19,500
Plus, I don't know what kind of
demographics you hope to be knocking down
193
00:13:19,507 --> 00:13:21,248
with that big, hairy
crack winking at you.
194
00:13:21,259 --> 00:13:23,751
All right. All right, gentlemen.
We're in a public place.
195
00:13:23,761 --> 00:13:25,798
Do you think we could possibly
elevate the level of conversation?
196
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:26,921
Fine with me.
197
00:13:26,931 --> 00:13:30,595
Good. I jerked off to your secretary
last night. I hope you don't mind.
198
00:13:30,601 --> 00:13:31,808
- Why should I mind?
- I don't know,
199
00:13:31,811 --> 00:13:33,347
I just wanted to make
sure it was all right,
200
00:13:33,354 --> 00:13:34,811
so I could forge ahead
with a clear conscience.
201
00:13:34,814 --> 00:13:35,930
Pound away.
202
00:13:35,940 --> 00:13:37,351
Oh, you're
a good friend.
203
00:13:37,817 --> 00:13:40,150
Larry really wanted
to have sex last night.
204
00:13:40,153 --> 00:13:42,645
He even gave me
the 30-second massage.
205
00:13:42,655 --> 00:13:46,569
Oh, you mean the "I really care
that you had a bad day" back rub
206
00:13:46,576 --> 00:13:48,488
that stops just before
you truly relax,
207
00:13:48,494 --> 00:13:50,861
and then quickly heads south towards
the promised land?
208
00:13:50,872 --> 00:13:52,033
(GIGGLES) Exactly.
209
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,326
So, did you make love?
210
00:13:53,333 --> 00:13:55,165
Oh, I couldn't.
I was just too tired.
211
00:13:55,168 --> 00:13:56,249
RACHEL: How'd you
get out of it?
212
00:13:56,252 --> 00:13:58,539
Well, I pretended to fall asleep
during the massage.
213
00:13:58,546 --> 00:14:00,663
I even did that
heavy breathing thing.
214
00:14:00,673 --> 00:14:02,289
So he thinks
you're in the really deep REM?
215
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:03,882
But the whole
thing backfired,
216
00:14:03,885 --> 00:14:05,296
because when
I really fell asleep,
217
00:14:05,303 --> 00:14:09,013
the baby started crying,
and then Larry pretended that he was asleep.
218
00:14:09,307 --> 00:14:12,175
Fool.
If he had just gotten up with the baby,
219
00:14:12,185 --> 00:14:14,427
you would have sounded the trumpets,
opened the gates
220
00:14:14,437 --> 00:14:16,178
and welcomed the troops
home for Christmas.
221
00:14:16,189 --> 00:14:17,600
In a heartbeat.
222
00:14:18,649 --> 00:14:20,265
STAN: So what's going on
with you and Charlene?
223
00:14:20,276 --> 00:14:22,643
Ooh, had a great
night last night.
224
00:14:22,653 --> 00:14:24,315
And you still claim
you're not cheating.
225
00:14:24,322 --> 00:14:27,565
Yeah.
I maintain that with every fiber of my being.
226
00:14:27,575 --> 00:14:29,066
Online sex
is not cheating.
227
00:14:29,243 --> 00:14:30,654
How do you figure?
228
00:14:30,661 --> 00:14:34,120
It's 3:00 in the morning,
your wife and kids are sleeping upstairs,
229
00:14:34,123 --> 00:14:36,991
and you're downstairs in your den
fucking some bimbo in cyberspace.
230
00:14:37,001 --> 00:14:40,915
Okay, first of all,
we're not fucking, we're typing.
231
00:14:40,922 --> 00:14:43,585
And, second of all,
and this is me taking umbrage,
232
00:14:43,591 --> 00:14:45,878
Charlene is not
some bimbo.
233
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:47,046
BEN: You're right.
234
00:14:47,053 --> 00:14:50,333
She's probably a stockbroker named Ralph
pretending to be some bimbo named Charlene.
235
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,723
Why would you piss on
something so beautiful?
236
00:14:53,643 --> 00:14:54,724
What did I say?
237
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:57,640
It's not an affair.
Teresa never had sex with him.
238
00:14:57,647 --> 00:14:58,888
They just kissed.
239
00:14:59,232 --> 00:15:01,224
A kiss is an affair.
240
00:15:01,234 --> 00:15:02,350
You think so?
241
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,476
Absolutely.
242
00:15:03,486 --> 00:15:07,446
Once you establish anything truly
intimate with another person,
243
00:15:07,448 --> 00:15:09,110
even talking,
244
00:15:09,325 --> 00:15:12,909
it has to affect the person you're
supposed to be the most intimate with.
245
00:15:12,912 --> 00:15:15,655
But the crazy thing is,
Teresa could fuck her husband.
246
00:15:15,665 --> 00:15:18,499
She just couldn't kiss him.
I mean, really kiss him.
247
00:15:18,501 --> 00:15:20,163
It's not so crazy.
248
00:15:20,169 --> 00:15:22,832
There have been times when I'm so
angry at Stan that I could fuck him,
249
00:15:22,839 --> 00:15:24,876
but I don't want that cow
tongue anywhere near me.
250
00:15:24,882 --> 00:15:28,125
A kiss can be so much
more intimate than sex.
251
00:15:28,136 --> 00:15:30,219
Yeah. Why is that?
252
00:15:30,221 --> 00:15:33,760
Because fucking means, "Yeah,
yeah, I love you," but a kiss...
253
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:35,849
A kiss means,
"I like you."
254
00:15:35,852 --> 00:15:38,344
(GIGGLES)
That's so right.
255
00:15:39,397 --> 00:15:43,732
I haven't made out, I mean,
really made out with Larry for years.
256
00:15:44,318 --> 00:15:45,650
Doesn't that
make you sad?
257
00:15:46,195 --> 00:15:47,436
Not really.
258
00:15:48,531 --> 00:15:49,612
Why?
259
00:15:50,533 --> 00:15:51,819
I don't know.
260
00:15:52,201 --> 00:15:55,535
Because it's inevitable.
It's the wear and tear of the job.
261
00:15:55,538 --> 00:15:58,372
The diapers, the tantrums,
the homework, the state capitals.
262
00:15:58,374 --> 00:16:00,832
The kingdom, phylum, genus,
species, your mother, his mother,
263
00:16:00,835 --> 00:16:02,076
and suddenly, all
you're aware of
264
00:16:02,086 --> 00:16:04,373
is that there are too many
wet towels on the floor,
265
00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:07,248
he's hogging the remote,
and he's scratching his back with a fork.
266
00:16:07,258 --> 00:16:09,375
And finally you come
face to face with the immutable truth
267
00:16:09,385 --> 00:16:12,219
that it's virtually
impossible to French kiss a person
268
00:16:12,221 --> 00:16:13,632
who takes the new roll
of toilet paper
269
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:16,507
and leaves it resting on top
of the empty cardboard roll.
270
00:16:16,517 --> 00:16:18,884
God forbid he takes the two
seconds to actually replace it.
271
00:16:18,895 --> 00:16:22,434
Does he not see it?
Does he not see it?
272
00:16:23,608 --> 00:16:24,894
I'm telling you.
273
00:16:24,901 --> 00:16:27,564
Marriage is
the Jack Kevorkian of romance.
274
00:16:30,656 --> 00:16:33,774
(SCREAMING)
Oh, God! Ah! Oh!
275
00:16:34,911 --> 00:16:36,994
Oh, Jesus. Shit!
276
00:16:37,413 --> 00:16:38,574
- He hit me!
- I didn't hit her.
277
00:16:38,581 --> 00:16:39,662
(PHONE RINGING)
278
00:16:39,665 --> 00:16:41,748
I was leaving the room
and she was standing in my way.
279
00:16:41,751 --> 00:16:43,287
Ah! He did it
on purpose.
280
00:16:43,294 --> 00:16:45,627
Guys, guys, guys,
hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on!
281
00:16:45,630 --> 00:16:47,917
- Hello? Hey, Ben? What?
- Hey, look, I've got a big red...
282
00:16:47,924 --> 00:16:50,291
- MAN: Let her rip!
- Katie.
283
00:16:50,301 --> 00:16:53,169
You're not gonna believe
what I'm standing in front of.
284
00:16:53,179 --> 00:16:54,420
They're tearing down
our old apartment.
285
00:16:54,430 --> 00:16:55,546
- (THUDDING)
- Ooh!
286
00:16:55,556 --> 00:16:57,297
- What? What?
- See? See?
287
00:16:57,308 --> 00:16:58,765
Josh, did you hit her?
288
00:16:58,768 --> 00:17:00,475
- She started it.
- What?
289
00:17:00,478 --> 00:17:02,765
I told her never
to come in my room without asking.
290
00:17:02,772 --> 00:17:06,516
It's heading for Mrs. Gutierrez's apartment.
Ooh, there goes her window.
291
00:17:06,526 --> 00:17:08,939
Did you borrow
her Discman without asking?
292
00:17:08,945 --> 00:17:10,937
Yeah, but, I mean,
she was done with it.
293
00:17:10,947 --> 00:17:12,028
Were you done with it?
294
00:17:12,031 --> 00:17:13,675
- Ben, I can't talk now.
- She hasn't used her Discman in 2 days.
295
00:17:13,699 --> 00:17:16,658
Whoa! Just hit
Jack Roikman's place.
296
00:17:16,661 --> 00:17:18,573
Remember the guy
with the patriotic orgasms?
297
00:17:18,579 --> 00:17:22,118
"God bless America!
God bless America! Land that I love!"
298
00:17:22,124 --> 00:17:23,990
Can't you just
let him use yours?
299
00:17:24,001 --> 00:17:26,414
No! He never
lets me use...
300
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:28,912
Ben, I can't
talk right now.
301
00:17:28,923 --> 00:17:31,006
But, Katie, this is where
you and I started.
302
00:17:31,008 --> 00:17:32,715
This is where
we became an us.
303
00:17:33,219 --> 00:17:37,213
Oh! Just hit the wall where we used
to measure the kids' heights.
304
00:17:37,223 --> 00:17:39,966
Ben, I... Josh, you shouldn't
have hit your sister.
305
00:17:39,976 --> 00:17:41,012
No TV for a week.
306
00:17:41,310 --> 00:17:44,144
You're so unfair.
Wait until I tell Dad.

(KATIE SCREAMS)

00:17:45,439 --> 00:17:48,147
Jesus Christ! I gotta go.
Are you okay?
309

Goddamn it!

fantasizing is cheating?

DAVE: Oh, please.
Who was getting hurt?
314
00:17:59,996 --> 00:18:03,410
Yesterday, I met this
stunning blonde woman
315
00:18:03,416 --> 00:18:05,829
up at the food court
at the Beverly Center.
316
00:18:05,835 --> 00:18:08,543
She had, like, one of those little rings
in the belly button thing.
317
00:18:08,546 --> 00:18:09,662
(EXCLAIMS IN DISGUST)
318
00:18:09,672 --> 00:18:10,879
Yeah. But you know
what? I forgave her.
319
00:18:10,881 --> 00:18:13,624
'Cause at least it wasn't
in her eyebrow or in her tongue.
320
00:18:13,634 --> 00:18:16,342
Beautiful. Beautiful.
We start chatting,
321
00:18:16,345 --> 00:18:19,145
and we struck up a little conversation
waiting for our turkey roll-ups.
322
00:18:19,265 --> 00:18:21,507
And I'm telling you,
she's smiling, I'm smiling.
323
00:18:21,517 --> 00:18:24,476
And just that,
that 30-second encounter,
324
00:18:24,478 --> 00:18:27,016
that alone will do
wonders for me tonight
325
00:18:27,023 --> 00:18:28,208
when I'm shaking hands
with the sheriff.
326
00:18:28,232 --> 00:18:30,349
I know exactly what
you're talking about.
327
00:18:30,693 --> 00:18:33,060
- Am I wrong?
- No. No, you're right.
328
00:18:33,070 --> 00:18:36,404
The other day, I told a joke to this
very intriguing woman
329
00:18:36,407 --> 00:18:37,943
that I ran into
at the dry cleaners'.
330
00:18:37,950 --> 00:18:41,193
I mean, if this had been the '30s,
she definitely would have been a communist.
331
00:18:41,203 --> 00:18:43,365
Or at a minimum,
a communist sympathizer.
332
00:18:43,372 --> 00:18:46,661
But the point is,
the way she laughed at that joke
333

335
00:18:51,088 --> 00:18:53,501
Oh, no, I could
never do that.
336
00:18:53,507 --> 00:18:57,877
I think the Ten Commandments
were probably a lot easier to stick to
337
00:18:57,887 --> 00:18:59,924

dead at 35.
338

They should be amended.
339
00:19:02,391 --> 00:19:05,350
They should have a little amendment,
like the Constitution, you know.
340
00:19:05,353 --> 00:19:07,094
Thou shalt not covet
thy neighbor's house,
341
00:19:07,104 --> 00:19:08,686
thy neighbor's wife,
thy neighbor's ass.
342
00:19:09,315 --> 00:19:12,854
But, if you feel you have
to covet your neighbor's wife's ass,
343
00:19:12,860 --> 00:19:15,022
just don't do it
in thy neighbor's house.
344
00:19:15,029 --> 00:19:17,146
What is wrong with that?
A simple amendment.
345
00:19:17,156 --> 00:19:19,113
Two-thirds majority.
Slide through both houses.
346
00:19:19,116 --> 00:19:20,448
Seriously, name
me one person,
347
00:19:20,451 --> 00:19:22,943
name one guy that you know
who's never cheated on his wife.
348
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:24,702
(YELLING)
I wasn't cheating!
349
00:19:24,705 --> 00:19:25,946
I walk into your office,
350
00:19:25,956 --> 00:19:28,994

some woman, some Sara,
351
00:19:29,335 --> 00:19:32,043
intimate details
about our relationship,
352
00:19:32,046 --> 00:19:34,003

353
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:37,215
Obviously there's something going on
between you and this woman.
354
00:19:37,218 --> 00:19:40,382
There is nothing going on between us!
We were just talking!

That's not talking.
That's a relationship!
358
00:19:47,895 --> 00:19:50,057
Why didn't you tell me about
her if there's nothing to hide?
359
00:19:50,064 --> 00:19:51,271
Why didn't you tell me?
360
00:19:51,273 --> 00:19:53,230
I just needed
somebody to talk to!
361
00:19:53,234 --> 00:19:54,475

BEN: You wanna know why I don't talk to you?
You wanna know why?
366
00:20:03,494 --> 00:20:06,407
Because you treat me like
I'm some big fucking pain in the ass
367
00:20:06,414 --> 00:20:08,451
that gets in the way

369
00:20:10,835 --> 00:20:14,545
Have you ever thought that
maybe everything isn't always about you?
370
00:20:15,047 --> 00:20:16,834
Maybe I'm tired.
371
00:20:16,841 --> 00:20:19,504
Maybe I'm dealing
with 5,000 things all day long.
372

376
00:20:29,145 --> 00:20:31,478
I am not a third child!
377
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,598
I am not talking about having
every one of my needs met!
378
00:20:34,608 --> 00:20:37,567
I'm talking about
a connection, a look,
379
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:40,608
something that says that
we're on the same side here.
380
00:20:41,407 --> 00:20:43,114
Why don't you talk
to your girlfriend?
381
00:20:43,117 --> 00:20:46,110
I'm sure she can help us
get back on the same side.
382
00:20:54,795 --> 00:20:58,414
The key to a happy marriage is to accept
the essential chasm between men and women.

Which is?
384
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,008
A man can mend
a fight with sex.
385
00:21:02,011 --> 00:21:04,378
A woman can't have sex
until they've resolved the fight.
386
00:21:04,972 --> 00:21:06,053
Why is that?
387
00:21:06,056 --> 00:21:08,799
It's the basic difference between
the penis and the vagina.
388
00:21:08,809 --> 00:21:12,769
A penis is a thruster,
a battering ram, if you will.
389
00:21:12,772 --> 00:21:15,936
Even if it's mad, it can ram.
Sometimes it even helps.
390
00:21:15,941 --> 00:21:17,182
It's the mad-ram
principle.
391
00:21:17,193 --> 00:21:20,186
However, the vagina...
Ah, the vagina.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

00:21:26,243 --> 00:21:29,156
It can't be that gracious hostess
in a state of anger.

And that goes for blow jobs
and kissing as well.

what Katie and I were going through,
402
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:52,095
no matter how painful
things got,
403
00:21:52,102 --> 00:21:57,222
if our feet found each other under the blankets,
even just the slightest connection,
404
00:21:57,233 --> 00:22:00,442

the demilitarized zone,

that we were still an us.

that time will diminish their presence.

It's like

683
00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:35,488
The Andrews Sisters?
684
00:39:35,498 --> 00:39:38,366
Sure. They didn't stop singing
just because they had a few flops.
685
00:39:38,376 --> 00:39:40,618
They hung in there,
and the rest is music history.

to that fun girl,

Where did she go?

You beat her out of me!
There's no room here for her.

You think it's all
fun and games, Harry.
710
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,047
So, I guess it's all my fault
that you hang on to every little thing.

drive by itself.

go of anything.

Why would anybody
want to read a book about her?

Because, Dave,
she was four-foot-nine.
746

She immigrated from Europe
when she was a little girl.

She worked in a sweatshop
making buttonholes 14 hours a day,
748

and yet somehow
managed to raise five kids

and stay married
to the same man for 57 years.

All right. You see
all these people out here, huh?
756
00:43:33,444 --> 00:43:36,278
You see they're getting into buildings.
They're driving in cars.
757
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,318
They're crossing the street there.
They're walking around.
758
00:43:39,867 --> 00:43:42,450
Every single one
of these people
759
00:43:42,453 --> 00:43:45,992
is going to die someday.
And they all know it.
760
00:43:47,291 --> 00:43:50,500
Which is why
they tend to regard
761
00:43:50,503 --> 00:43:53,086
the time that they
have on this planet as precious.
762
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:56,582
Now, there are a lot of things
that take up a lot of that time,
763
00:43:56,592 --> 00:43:59,881
even if they don't enjoy it.
They have to go to work. They have to get dressed.
764
00:43:59,887 --> 00:44:03,881
They have to wait in lines.
They have to clean yards. They gotta get batteries.
765
00:44:03,891 --> 00:44:05,974
They have to visit
the eye doctors.
766
00:44:05,977 --> 00:44:07,513
They're doing
all these things.
767
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:12,356
Now, add that to the time they spend
sleeping and eating,
768
00:44:12,358 --> 00:44:15,647
and washing up
and voting,
769
00:44:15,653 --> 00:44:18,066
and buying gifts
for people they don't even like,
770
00:44:18,072 --> 00:44:21,611

so choosy about how they spend

- How you doing?
- Fine.
781
00:45:01,741 --> 00:45:05,155
I never got a chance to thank you
for holding the camp bus.

really having to deal with each other.

I missed you so much.
I missed you both so much.

- Dad?
849
00:48:09,220 --> 00:48:11,257
Dad, pull yourself
together.

00:48:12,264 --> 00:48:14,051
Dad, get off of me!
851
00:48:16,227 --> 00:48:18,970
You guys both look terrific.
Show us your bunks.
852
00:48:19,814 --> 00:48:21,601
Yeah, I wanna see
your bunks, too.
853
00:48:21,774 --> 00:48:24,266
Hey, did you guys get your favorite
room at the lodge, the Acorn Cabin?
854
00:48:24,276 --> 00:48:25,687
Yeah. Yeah, we did.
855
00:48:26,153 --> 00:48:27,564
(RASPING)
Yeah, we got the Acorn Cabin.
856
00:48:27,571 --> 00:48:28,652
Good morning,
Uncle Josh.
857
00:48:28,656 --> 00:48:29,656

God, I hate
lying to 'em.
864

Me, too. We're not
even good at it.
865
00:49:20,416 --> 00:49:22,829
Even if we were good
at it, they'd still know.
866
00:49:46,817 --> 00:49:48,399
What is that?
867
00:49:48,402 --> 00:49:49,643
(LISPING)
What's what?
868
00:49:49,653 --> 00:49:51,110
The thing you just
put in your mouth.
869
00:49:51,113 --> 00:49:52,979
Oh. It's my bite plate.
870
00:49:52,990 --> 00:49:54,071

871
00:49:54,074 --> 00:49:56,031
Yeah, it's my
bite plate.
872
00:49:56,285 --> 00:49:57,901
Why do you have
a bite plate?
873
00:49:57,912 --> 00:49:59,278
For my bite.
874
00:50:00,247 --> 00:50:01,613
What's wrong
with your bite?
875
00:50:02,666 --> 00:50:04,407
It's askew.

00:50:04,418 --> 00:50:05,534
Askew.
877
00:50:05,544 --> 00:50:07,456
Yes, it's askew.
878
00:50:07,463 --> 00:50:10,956
So this would be
an attempt to "de-skew" it?
879
00:50:11,258 --> 00:50:13,375
- Yes.
- Huh.

- Honey, what's the matter?
- Nothing. I'm okay.
885

Honey,
are you okay?
886
00:50:30,027 --> 00:50:32,144
Yeah, I'm okay.
I'm fine.
887
00:50:32,154 --> 00:50:35,113
I just couldn't sleep,
so I snuck out after lights out.
888

I know I just really
wanted to sleep with you guys.
889
00:50:40,454 --> 00:50:44,664
It's okay, sweetheart. I'll call the camp
and let them know you're here.
890
00:50:44,667 --> 00:50:45,874
Okay.
891
00:50:49,338 --> 00:50:51,796
Why is the bed made
up on the couch?
892
00:50:52,466 --> 00:50:55,459
Oh, honey, Daddy was just
doing a little reading
893
00:50:55,469 --> 00:50:57,711
and I didn't want
to wake Mommy up.

BEN: Sometimes you just
can't climb out of the abyss.
895
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,674
I kept thinking of last summer,
when Katie and I still hoped
896
00:51:36,677 --> 00:51:39,670
that if we could just put ourselves
in some idyllic setting,
897
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:43,594
that we could somehow get rid of all the
tension, and jump-start our marriage
898
00:51:43,601 --> 00:51:47,515
and maybe rediscover why we fell
in love in the first place.
899
00:51:47,521 --> 00:51:50,104
So last year,
after Parents' Weekend,
900
00:51:50,107 --> 00:51:53,020
we thought that, maybe,
in a small trattoria in Venice,
901
00:51:53,027 --> 00:51:56,270
looking out at a beautiful sunset
next to a bottle of Chianti,
902
00:51:56,614 --> 00:51:59,402
we just might find
a set ofjumper cables.
903
00:52:01,201 --> 00:52:03,238
How you doing?

Honey, you don't have to say "Italian."
We're here. They know.
906
00:52:08,459 --> 00:52:10,041
So, what're you saying?
That if I'm in Belgium
907
00:52:10,044 --> 00:52:12,582
and I order a Belgian Waffle,
I just say "waffle"?
908
00:52:12,588 --> 00:52:14,705
Yes, just like
if you were in Ireland
909
00:52:14,715 --> 00:52:17,708
and you wanted a bowl of Irish stew,
you'd just say "stew."
910
00:52:17,885 --> 00:52:20,252
Well, you know, if you're in China
and you want some Chinese food,
911
00:52:20,262 --> 00:52:22,049
you just say, "Hey,
bring on the food."

hard to find.

(LAUGHING)
948
00:53:55,315 --> 00:53:58,808
I tell ya, it was just like fate,
the first time I met Joanie.
949
00:53:58,819 --> 00:54:00,685
I was working at Prudential
on the sixth floor,
950
00:54:00,696 --> 00:54:02,938
and Eddie was working
at Allied Mutual on the fourth floor.
951
00:54:02,948 --> 00:54:05,156
- Hand to God.
- And every day in the cafeteria,
952
00:54:05,159 --> 00:54:06,275
which was on
the third floor...
953
00:54:06,285 --> 00:54:08,304
EDDIE: I would see Joanie in the salad bar line,
JOANIE: Right.
954
00:54:08,328 --> 00:54:12,993
and she would smile at me.
Not just a smile. I mean, a really big smile.
955
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,493
And then, one day I was at the salad bar
at Beefsteak Charlie's,
956
00:54:16,503 --> 00:54:18,916
and I thought I saw her
in that salad bar line.
957
00:54:18,922 --> 00:54:20,038
But it wasn't me.
958
00:54:20,048 --> 00:54:21,414
It wasn't Joanie!
959
00:54:21,425 --> 00:54:24,918
Wow. What are the odds of another
person in a salad bar line
960
00:54:24,928 --> 00:54:28,217
looking so much like Joanie,
and yet not actually being Joanie?
961

What, like,
a trillion to one, huh?
963
00:54:31,727 --> 00:54:33,593
Could be higher
than that, Eddie.
964
00:54:33,604 --> 00:54:35,971
Well, anyway,
when I realized it wasn't Joanie,
965
00:54:35,981 --> 00:54:37,517
I was so disappointed.
966
00:54:37,524 --> 00:54:39,356
- Oh!
- And then I began to think
967
00:54:39,359 --> 00:54:42,147
about how much
I'd hoped that it was Joanie.
968
00:54:42,154 --> 00:54:44,646
But, at this point in the story,
you still hadn't met.
969
00:54:44,656 --> 00:54:45,737
EDDIE: No.
970
00:54:45,741 --> 00:54:49,906
And I couldn't get over how much I
wanted this person to be Joanie.
971
00:54:49,912 --> 00:54:52,825
And I think that
was the defining moment,
972
00:54:52,831 --> 00:54:56,040
because I went back to my wife there
at the table at Beefsteak Charlie's,
973
00:54:56,043 --> 00:54:59,081
and I realized that
I felt more alive
974
00:54:59,087 --> 00:55:01,545
thinking about that stranger
that I thought was Joanie,
975
00:55:01,548 --> 00:55:04,006
than I did sitting with this
stranger who was my wife.
976
00:55:04,009 --> 00:55:07,343
Well, we were both in marriages
that we had completely outgrown.
977
00:55:07,346 --> 00:55:09,759
Yeah, and you know,
maybe I didn't want to admit it,
978
00:55:09,765 --> 00:55:14,226
but maybe I didn't like myself enough
to be with someone who liked me.
979
00:55:14,228 --> 00:55:17,266
Can you imagine anybody
not liking Eddie Kirby?
980
00:55:17,272 --> 00:55:18,979
Oh, I'm not
so perfect.
981
00:55:18,982 --> 00:55:21,440
Oh, beg to differ.
982
00:55:21,443 --> 00:55:26,563
Anyway, that year, we both mustered up
enough courage to leave our marriages.
983
00:55:26,573 --> 00:55:28,439
So at this point
you had met.
984
00:55:28,450 --> 00:55:29,736
No.
985
00:55:29,743 --> 00:55:31,450
- Still hadn't met?
- No.
986
00:55:31,453 --> 00:55:35,663
But you know, after you've had
such a horrible marriage,
987
00:55:35,666 --> 00:55:38,158
you don't want to make
the same mistakes twice.
988
00:55:38,168 --> 00:55:40,501
So, I made an inner
pact with myself.
989
00:55:40,504 --> 00:55:42,541
I said, "Eddie Kirby,
990
00:55:42,548 --> 00:55:45,791
"you will never,
ever let the anger build up to the point
991
00:55:45,801 --> 00:55:47,212
"where you just don't
like your partner."
992
00:55:47,219 --> 00:55:48,335
I made the same pact.
993
00:55:48,345 --> 00:55:50,007
And that became
our credo.
994
00:55:50,013 --> 00:55:52,505
BOTH: "Never go
to bed angry."
995
00:55:53,183 --> 00:55:55,641
So now we talk
everything through.
996
00:55:55,644 --> 00:55:59,012
We won't let even the tiniest
pea be under our mattress.
997
00:55:59,690 --> 00:56:01,852

we never eat in bed.

That's not a sentence.
It's a preposition and a continent.

No, I crossed out your period
and made a sentence.

- Ben!

What? I do.
I want to.
1034
00:58:42,227 --> 00:58:43,513
After we finish
the letter.
1035
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,183
No, no, no. Let's
make love right now.
1036
00:58:46,189 --> 00:58:48,476
We make love now.
Then we write the letter.
1037
00:58:48,483 --> 00:58:52,022
Come on. We only had
a couple of sentences to go.
1038
00:58:52,029 --> 00:58:54,772
In Europe,
you would've made love first.
1039
00:58:55,949 --> 00:58:57,485
What's that
supposed to mean?
1040
00:58:57,492 --> 00:58:58,492
Nothing.
1041
00:58:58,702 --> 00:59:00,785
That I'm not
spontaneous?
1042
00:59:00,787 --> 00:59:01,868
I'm not saying that.
1043
00:59:01,872 --> 00:59:03,408
No, but that's what
you were implying.
1044
00:59:03,415 --> 00:59:06,227
- I wasn't implying anything.
- That in Europe, I would've made love, but here...
1045
00:59:06,251 --> 00:59:10,040
No, no, look. I just don't want us
to get to the point where we can't make love
1046
00:59:10,047 --> 00:59:12,164
unless there's
a concierge downstairs.
1047
00:59:12,174 --> 00:59:14,882
Just because I wanted
to take three minutes
1048
00:59:14,885 --> 00:59:17,002
to finish a letter
to our children,
1049
00:59:17,012 --> 00:59:18,548
- who I haven't seen in...
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
1050
00:59:18,555 --> 00:59:21,423
What is that supposed to mean?
That I don't care about our children?
1051
00:59:21,683 --> 00:59:24,801
If you'd just let me finish the letter,
I could be more spontaneous.
1052
00:59:24,811 --> 00:59:27,975
That's not spontaneous.
That's called making an appointment.
1053
00:59:27,981 --> 00:59:32,021
I was in the mood for some unscheduled affection,
but, ooh, I'm sorry, we're home,
1054
00:59:32,027 --> 00:59:35,441
I forgot, everything's
gotta be on a schedule.
1055
00:59:36,406 --> 00:59:39,820
You try raising children where
everything's unscheduled,
1056
00:59:39,826 --> 00:59:41,943
when everything
is spontaneous!

You know what, Katie?
1058
00:59:43,330 --> 00:59:45,447
The kids need a little
spontaneity, too!

I know that!
1060
00:59:47,793 --> 00:59:50,001

of always having to be

00:59:50,003 --> 00:59:51,960
the designated driver
of this marriage.
1062
00:59:51,963 --> 00:59:55,206
Hey, nobody designated you as anything.
It's a role you gave yourself!
1063
00:59:55,383 --> 00:59:57,796
Bullshit!
You gave me that role!
1064
00:59:57,803 --> 01:00:02,138
Because God forbid Ben should ever
remember to cancel the newspapers,
1065
01:00:02,140 --> 01:00:04,177
or put washer
fluid in his car,
1066
01:00:04,184 --> 01:00:07,302
or participate
in disciplining his children,
1067
01:00:07,312 --> 01:00:10,476
instead of flirting on the phone
with your goddamn girlfriend!

bring that up again, are ya?

under our mattress.

Sure, fear.
That's the main motivator for everything.

There are people like Katie and Dot,
honey, who like to color inside the lines,
1365

are people like you,

talk at Chow Fun's.

like that, you know.

her that, uh...

They were born in love
and that we'll always love them,
1470

each other anymore.

- It's a boy.
1515
01:24:06,250 --> 01:24:07,331
It's a girl.
1516
01:24:07,334 --> 01:24:08,334
It's a bunny!
1517
01:24:08,585 --> 01:24:10,025
- (CROWD CHEERING)
- It's a home run!
1518
01:24:10,087 --> 01:24:11,328
It's chicken pops.
1519
01:24:11,338 --> 01:24:12,454
It's over.
1520
01:24:12,631 --> 01:24:13,792
(WHISPERS)
I love you.
1521
01:24:13,966 --> 01:24:15,002
Damn you!
1522
01:24:15,175 --> 01:24:16,211
I love you.
1523
01:24:16,927 --> 01:24:18,008
Damn it.
1524
01:24:18,011 --> 01:24:19,127
I love you.
1525
01:24:19,137 --> 01:24:21,094
- (BREATHING RAPIDLY)
- I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.
1526
01:24:21,098 --> 01:24:22,384
I hate you!
1527
01:24:22,766 --> 01:24:24,428
(PANTING)
Fuck me. Fuck me.
1528
01:24:24,726 --> 01:24:25,762
Fuck you!
1529
01:24:29,314 --> 01:24:30,475
I love you.
1530
01:24:30,482 --> 01:24:31,689
I'm pregnant.
1531
01:24:31,692 --> 01:24:33,058
My goldfish died.
1532
01:24:33,068 --> 01:24:34,229
My hamster died.
1533
01:24:34,528 --> 01:24:35,564
My father's dying.
1534
01:24:35,737 --> 01:24:36,818
I'm pregnant.
1535
01:24:46,081 --> 01:24:47,367
(INAUDIBLE)
1536
01:24:57,217 --> 01:24:58,753
Maybe we should
separate.
1537
01:25:20,365 --> 01:25:21,365
(SCOFFS)
1538
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:39,961
ERIN: Mom! Dad!
1539
01:25:39,968 --> 01:25:41,129
JOSH: Mom! Dad!
1540
01:25:41,136 --> 01:25:42,718
- You ready?
- Yeah.
1541
01:25:44,723 --> 01:25:46,806
BEN: (CHUCKLING)
Yo! Hey, hey!
1542
01:25:46,808 --> 01:25:50,301
Hey! What's up, buddy?
Good to see you. How you doing?
1543
01:25:50,312 --> 01:25:52,019
(SOBBING)
1544
01:25:52,356 --> 01:25:53,356
What's the matter, Mom?
1545
01:25:53,899 --> 01:25:55,515
She just missed
you, that's all.
1546
01:25:55,525 --> 01:25:58,142
Oh, you've both
just grown so big!
1547
01:25:58,153 --> 01:26:00,691
Yeah! Look at you guys.
I hardly recognize you.
1548
01:26:00,697 --> 01:26:02,563
Hey, wait a minute.
1549
01:26:02,574 --> 01:26:03,781
Which one of
you is Erin?
1550
01:26:04,534 --> 01:26:05,650
JOSH: Check it out, Dad.
1551
01:26:05,661 --> 01:26:08,529
Whoa! I guess we know
what your high is today.
1552
01:26:08,538 --> 01:26:11,451
Look at that. "Best all-around camper."
Congratulations, buddy.
1553
01:26:11,458 --> 01:26:13,791
Look at that, Katie.
I guess this calls for a celebration!
1554
01:26:13,794 --> 01:26:16,332
Come on, kids! Riverdance!
Come on, come on.
1555
01:26:16,338 --> 01:26:18,796
(SINGING) I'm the best
all-around riverdancer
1556
01:26:18,799 --> 01:26:22,338
Come on, Katie. Kinda like
a Little Latin Lupe Lu thing. Whoa!
1557
01:26:22,344 --> 01:26:24,836
Hey! Now, go
with the big finish now!
1558
01:26:24,846 --> 01:26:26,963
- Dad! Dad.
- Come on... What?
1559
01:26:26,973 --> 01:26:29,090
- I have to see these kids next summer.
- Huh?
1560
01:26:29,101 --> 01:26:30,342
Come on, Dad,
we're hungry.
1561
01:26:31,019 --> 01:26:33,102
Okay. All right.
1562
01:26:34,523 --> 01:26:35,684
Okay.
1563
01:26:38,652 --> 01:26:39,893
Let's go home.
1564
01:26:52,624 --> 01:26:55,037
I think we should
go to Chow Fun's.
1565
01:27:03,719 --> 01:27:05,130
Chow Fun's?
1566
01:27:07,556 --> 01:27:10,236
I thought we both agreed that
we really couldn't talk at Chow Fun's.
1567
01:27:10,684 --> 01:27:11,891
I know.
1568
01:27:13,645 --> 01:27:14,726
What are you saying?
1569
01:27:15,313 --> 01:27:17,225
I'm saying
Chow Fun's.
1570
01:27:21,570 --> 01:27:24,813
Are you saying Chow Fun's
because you can't face telling the kids?
1571
01:27:24,823 --> 01:27:27,440
Because if that's why you're saying
Chow Fun's, don't say Chow Fun's.
1572
01:27:27,451 --> 01:27:28,908
No, that's not why
I'm saying Chow Fun's.
1573
01:27:28,910 --> 01:27:31,869
I'm saying Chow Fun's
because we are an "us."
1574
01:27:32,831 --> 01:27:35,198
(SIGHS) There's
a history here,
1575
01:27:35,625 --> 01:27:38,208
and histories
don't happen overnight.
1576
01:27:39,129 --> 01:27:42,372
You know, in Mesopotamia or ancient Troy
or somewhere back there,
1577
01:27:42,382 --> 01:27:45,466
there are cities built
on top of other cities,
1578
01:27:45,469 --> 01:27:48,928
but I don't want to build another city.
I like this city.
1579
01:27:48,930 --> 01:27:50,762
I know where we
keep the Bactine
1580
01:27:50,766 --> 01:27:52,758
and what kind of mood you're in
when you wake up
1581
01:27:52,768 --> 01:27:54,134
by which eyebrow
is higher,
1582
01:27:54,144 --> 01:27:56,978
and you always know that
I'm a little quiet in the morning
1583
01:27:56,980 --> 01:27:59,313
and compensate
accordingly.
1584
01:27:59,316 --> 01:28:02,275
That's a dance you
perfect over time.
1585
01:28:02,277 --> 01:28:05,520
And it's hard.
It's much harder than I thought it would be.
1586
01:28:05,530 --> 01:28:07,772
But there's more
good than bad,
1587
01:28:07,783 --> 01:28:09,615
and you don't
just give up.
1588
01:28:10,076 --> 01:28:11,988
And it's not
for the sake of the children.
1589
01:28:11,995 --> 01:28:14,908
But, oh, God,
they're great kids, aren't they?
1590
01:28:14,915 --> 01:28:17,783
I mean, God, and we made them.
I mean, think about that.
1591
01:28:17,793 --> 01:28:20,331
It's like, there were no people there
and then there were people.
1592
01:28:20,337 --> 01:28:22,954
And then they
grew, and...
1593
01:28:23,423 --> 01:28:27,292
I won't be able to say to some stranger,
"Josh has your hands,"
1594
01:28:27,302 --> 01:28:30,886
or, "Remember how Erin
threw up at the Lincoln Memorial?"
1595
01:28:30,889 --> 01:28:33,973
Then I'll try to relax.
1596
01:28:34,309 --> 01:28:36,801
(GASPS) Let's face it.
1597
01:28:36,812 --> 01:28:39,225
Anybody's gonna have traits
that get on your nerves.
1598
01:28:39,231 --> 01:28:42,065
I mean, why shouldn't it
be your annoying traits?
1599
01:28:42,067 --> 01:28:45,310
I'm no day at the beach,
but I do have a good sense of direction,
1600
01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:46,982
so at least I can
find the beach.
1601
01:28:46,988 --> 01:28:49,776
Which is not a criticism
of yours, it's just a...
1602
01:28:49,783 --> 01:28:50,899
(SIGHS)
1603
01:28:50,909 --> 01:28:52,650
A strength of mine.
1604
01:28:52,994 --> 01:28:57,534
God, you're a good friend,
and good friends are hard to find.
1605
01:28:59,334 --> 01:29:01,246
Charlotte said that
in Charlotte's Web,
1606
01:29:01,253 --> 01:29:03,836
and I love the way
you read that to Erin.
1607
01:29:03,839 --> 01:29:07,332
And you take on the voice of Wilbur
the pig with such commitment,
1608
01:29:07,342 --> 01:29:09,334
even when you're
bone-tired.
1609
01:29:09,344 --> 01:29:12,178
That speaks volumes
about character.
1610
01:29:12,180 --> 01:29:13,921
And ultimately,
1611
01:29:13,932 --> 01:29:17,221
isn't that what it comes down to?
What a person's made of?
1612
01:29:17,477 --> 01:29:22,393
(SOBBING) Because that girl
in the pith helmet is still in here.

(IMITATES SIREN BLARING)
1614
01:29:26,278 --> 01:29:29,271
I didn't even know she existed
until I met you.
1615
01:29:29,698 --> 01:29:31,860
And I'm afraid
if you leave,
1616
01:29:31,867 --> 01:29:34,484
I may never
see her again.
1617
01:29:34,786 --> 01:29:37,199
Even though I said at times
you beat her out of me.
1618
01:29:37,205 --> 01:29:41,290
Isn't that the paradox?
Haven't we hit the essential paradox?
1619
01:29:41,293 --> 01:29:44,661
Give and take, push and pull, yin and yang,
the best of times, the worst of times.
1620
01:29:44,671 --> 01:29:47,038
I think Dickens said it best.
The Jack Sprat of it.
1621
01:29:47,048 --> 01:29:49,791
"He could eat no fat,
his wife could eat no lean."
1622
01:29:49,801 --> 01:29:51,918
But that doesn't really
apply here, does it?
1623
01:29:51,928 --> 01:29:54,341
I guess what I'm
trying to say is,
1624
01:29:55,557 --> 01:29:57,890
I'm saying
Chow Fun's because...
1625
01:29:58,602 --> 01:29:59,968
I love you.

that, kids?

but they're not that good.

No, no, the egg rolls
are fantastic!
1633
01:30:32,177 --> 01:30:34,840
They're warm, crispy,
greasy as all hell.

Everything you want
in an egg roll.
1635
01:30:36,097 --> 01:30:37,178
Exactly.
1636
01:30:37,390 --> 01:30:39,382
Okay, High-Low.
Erin, you first.
1637

But I've got another game.

words. What are they?

- Do I get a hint?
- No.

- A category?
- No.
1643
01:30:54,407 --> 01:30:56,490
So, they can be any seven words
in the English language?
1644
01:30:56,493 --> 01:30:57,609
Yes. That's right.
1645
01:30:57,619 --> 01:30:59,076
Fair enough.
1646
01:30:59,788 --> 01:31:01,950
"MacArthur Park is melting
in the dark."
1647
01:31:01,957 --> 01:31:03,118
No. No.

01:31:03,124 --> 01:31:04,365
- No?
- No.
1649
01:31:06,044 --> 01:31:08,457
"And they lived
happily ever after."
1650
01:31:09,839 --> 01:31:12,547
That's six words,
but you're very close.
1651

"And they lived
mostly happily ever after?"
