[Kate sighs]
[French folk music playing]
I hate all of my clothes.
God, why'd you let me buy this hideous sweater?
That's my sweater.
Oh. So cute.
[Tully scoffs]
Why does it even matter?
Just go with an empty suitcase and buy all your clothes in France!
I'm unemployed. I can barely afford a baguette.
Yeah, but doesn't Theo come from money? Isn't he like a duke or something?
- I think his grandfather's an earl. - What's the difference?
I don't know, but I won't ask him to buy me clothes.
- It's enough he's taking me to Europe. - Mmm.
Two whole months of hot continental sex with that sweet little British crumpet.
Oh! I gotta admit, I'm sort of jealous.
Did I tell you, after Paris and Greece,
we're going to his family estate in the English countryside?
You did, you lucky bitch.
I am a lucky bitch, Tul.
Theo is so handsome, and he's sweet, and he's giving and amazing!
And we want all of the same things. It's like what Mary Poppins once said...
[in British accent] "He's practically perfect in every way."
[Tully] Uh-huh. Okay.
What are you covering up with this perfect nonsense?
I said practically perfect.
[Tully] Does his thingy not work? Is it bent?
Because, you know, bent can be good sometimes.
From the right angle.
- His thingy's not bent. - Ah, I see.
[Kate] You see what?
Theo is boring in bed.
What?
No, he is not!
I mean, he is so gentle and attentive
and very interested in my satisfaction.
- But? - [Kate] But nothing!
Theo is a very sweet and generous and respectful lover.
But?
[sighs]
But...
maybe... [inhales]
sometimes...
A girl just wants to get pounded.
In a respectful way!
Of course! Always respectful.
But aren't you guys going to a nude beach in Greece?
I mean, that's pretty saucy.
That ought to wind up ol' Big Ben.
Yeah, except I'll be the palest one there.
Admit it, I look like a ghost.
You just need a base tan.
Ooh!
You can use my tanning lamp.
Wait, is that thing even safe?
[Tully] Would they sell it if it's not safe?
Okay, shirt off, face down on the bed.
Um...
[Kate exhales]
Okay, uh, bra off, buns out. You don't want any tan lines.
One last thing.
Yeah.
[chuckles]
What're you doing?
I am leaving a sexy surprise for Theo and making a heart out of sunscreen.
- On your bum! - Aw, cute!
[Tully chuckles] Okay. Enjoy.
- Happy Thanksgiving, boys. - [man] Hey.
- Happy Thanksgiving. - Wow, something smells delicious.
[Bud] Hey, fellas. William, get in here! Sit, grab a beer.
- You missed the first quarter. - Thanks, Bud.
All right, well, where are we at?
It's a blow-out. We're walking all over these guys.
[cheering on TV]
Seems like Bud's really taken a shine to William.
[chuckles] He keeps asking me when we're gonna move in together.
It's like, "Whoa, slow down there, Dad." I'm not ready for that kind of commitment.
I think it's pretty sweet.
Did Sean tell you? I joined P-Flag.
[gentle music plays]
I met a lovely woman there.
Her daughter's a lesbian.
We're going to march in the Pride Parade together.
Oh yeah. Mom is very into P-Flag.
- Don't make fun of me. - I'm not.
Whoa, Mom, where'd you get the Baccarat? Pretty swanky.
Tully gave it to us for our anniversary last year.
It's vintage. From the year we were married.
Her assistant did always pick out the most thoughtful gifts.
I'll just put it away.
No, don't be silly. It's fine.
[timer chimes]
So you hear from her at all lately or...
No.
Oh, did I tell you that Johnny got an advance to write another book?
Yes, you did.
It's interviews with soldiers and journalists
who've been in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I know. No, it's great.
Speaking of writing, I signed up for a creative writing class.
Oh yeah?
- Yeah, I had a few ideas for a novel. - Okay.
Don't write about me. I did the best I could.
[Sean and Kate chuckle]
[Cloud] Mmm!
Behold!
My Thanksgiving table!
Every morsel made by me.
Martha Stewart can suck it.
Aw, leave the poor woman alone. She's in jail.
- [Tully] Mmm. - [Cloud] Hmm.
I guess we're a lot alike, Martha and me.
You know, I interviewed her a bunch of times.
She's actually very nice.
- Very smart. - Mmm, she seems like good people.
Mmm. Anyway... [breathes deeply]
- Here goes everything. - [Cloud squeals]
[upbeat music playing faintly]
- Oh, uh... - [Tully] Oh.
[Cloud] Why is it so...
I don't know.
It's, like, cooked on the outside but raw on the inside.
[Cloud] Yeah.
Why, turkey?
What happened?
I mean, you just...
you just stick it in the oven.
Any idiot can do it.
Well, not any idiot.
- That is not funny. - [Cloud chuckles]
- [Tully sighs] - It's for the best.
How is it for the best?
Because when pilgrims burned witches at the stake,
they always cooked a turkey in the fire
because they believed that it kept the evil spirits away.
And that, right there, is the true origin of Thanksgiving.
Seriously?
No, Tallulah.
[both chuckle]
God.
- [knocking on door] - [Tully sighs]
- Please order a pizza. - [Cloud] Okay.
I'm coming, Danny. Keep your pants on!
[knocking continues]
Trouble you for a little sugar, neighbor?
Really?
I hate that you live in my building.
You look nice.
- This is a crime scene. - [Tully sighs]
You murdered Thanksgiving.
Here is your cup of sugar. Now please go.
Okay.
You've seen through my ruse.
I don't actually need sugar.
Celeste's entire family is over at my place, and I need a break.
Well, this is not your man cave.
So, nut up and face your in-laws.
Uh-uh! They're not my in-laws. [chuckles]
What the hell is that?
I mean, it looks like sweet potato, but it tastes like a wet possum.
- It is bread pudding. - Ugh!
Will you please leave?
[Danny] Mmm.
- [Cloud] Hello, Sports-Dan. - Hello!
I was gonna read Tully's tarot while we wait for pizza.
Probably have some time for you.
Ooh, I'm in!
You guys got any coffee?
Here you go.
[dog barks]
- [Kate] Anyone want coffee? - [Johnny] They're all on a walk.
Bud's asleep, and I am never eating turkey again.
[Kate chuckles]
- But it was so good. [exhales] - Mmm.
The potatoes were lumpy, but, mmm, they taste like home.
[Johnny sighs, inhales]
[Johnny exhales]
I love this place, you know?
Every time I'm here, I think about that night, you and me.
Which night?
Sean's wedding?
When you were obsessing over Tully,
and I told you to get your head out of your ass?
You know which night.
[Johnny chuckles softly]
Dad's heart attack.
You brought me here, I tried to kiss you, and you rejected me.
I was just being a gentleman. [exhales]
I know.
And later on, I went and knocked on your bedroom door.
[Kate] Mm-hmm.
- [Johnny] Had my way with you. - You did.
That was our first time.
My actual first time.
Definitely not your first time.
My first time with someone I loved.
[Johnny inhales]
I was checking out the old barn earlier.
Could be a great place.
For what?
Another wedding.
For who?
Sean and William?
You and me, Mularkey.
Don't you think it's time we made it official?
We've talked about this. Our first marriage did not work out.
[Johnny] Yes, it did.
Look at us. We're happy!
[Kate] Yeah, exactly!
Things are going really well. I don't want to mess it up.
How would that mess it up?
[Kate] People get married, and then they get comfortable,
and then take each other for granted.
Well, we wouldn't do that.
Besides, don't you think Marah would be so psyched
if we got married? Again?
Sure.
And then she'd be twice as traumatized when we got divorced.
Again.
Half as traumatized.
- It's easier the second time. - [chuckles] It's not funny.
It was hell for all of us the first time.
Well, we just wouldn't get divorced this time.
Doesn't it mean more if we just choose each other every day
because we want to, not because we're compelled to by law?
You sound like me in 1985.
Yeah, 1985 Johnny had a point.
1985 Johnny was a fool.
2004 Johnny's starting to sound a little bit foolish.
[Johnny scoffs]
The ink's not even dry on our divorce papers.
We're still paying the lawyers,
and Marah will be off to college before we know it.
Another wedding at this point seems so...
Are you sure it isn't
at least somewhat because you don't want to get married without Tully there?
I like the way things are.
We're happy.
I don't wanna mess with it.
Okay.
I hear that. You got a good head on your shoulders, Mularkey.
Ooh. [sighs]
Hey, Dad, you want coffee?
I made you some. It's almost time for pie.
Hey! Dad.
You told me not to let...
[indistinct chatter on TV]
Dad?
Dad!
[exhales] Oh my God! Johnny!

I know, I miss you.
[Johnny] Me too.
I think Bud would've been really pleased with that service.
Yeah.
I'm gonna take this out to the other room.
- Thanks, hon. - [Kate exhales]
You okay?
Yeah, totally.
Thanks for dealing with the whole church setup today
and everything else that you did.
[Johnny] Of course.
Come here.
[Johnny breathes deeply]
I'm sorry about Tully showing up like that.
[Kate sighs]
It's okay.
Should have known that she'd try to just make it all about her.
Well, I think she's just trying to...
What?
Trying to what?
Well, I know Bud was like a father to her, so...
[scoffs]
Are you being serious right now?
What? I'm just saying.
I'm so tired of it.
I'm so sick of all of it. Everywhere I look, she's there.
I had a dentist appointment last week,
and I had to update a form, and she's still my emergency contact.
[Kate exhales]
You know, I always hated that you put her instead of me.
Sorry. I had to go through this whole thing to change it,
and I got so annoyed, and I... [sighs]
I miss her.
I think about calling her sometimes.
All the time.
But I can't.
You know what I need?
I need a new friend.
One without the 30 years of baggage that Tully and I are dragging between us.
That sounds like a nice idea.
[Johnny] In the meantime,
I hope I can be your emergency contact.
[Kate chuckles softly]
You know you are.
[tender music playing]
[Johnny sighs]
I love you, Mularkey.
I love you too.
Come on.
[Kate sighs]
You all packed? I gotta hop in the shower.
I've got that photo shoot for the new billboard today! Exciting!
- What's wrong? - Fell asleep under that stupid lamp.
It was so warm and comfortable, and I think I burnt my butt.
Well, did you look?
[exhales] No, I'm too scared. Can you check it for me?
[Kate sighs]
[whimsical music playing]
How's it look?
Oh my God. How bad is it?
[sucks teeth] Well...
The good news is the little heart-shaped thing worked great.
[Kate exhales]
Oh my God, I thought you said that crazy lamp was safe.
It is if you use it properly.
[Kate exhales]
Why'd you let me fall asleep?
- Let you? - What am I supposed to do?
I can't sit on an airplane for 12 hours. My ass is on fire.
Okay, settle down. I've got an aloe plant.
First you gotta ice it, though.
Oh my God. Why?
[Kate sighs]
Ow. [exhales]
What, seriously?
All the sugar, twice the caffeine, give your cheeks a little jolt.
- It's not funny. - Just rub it on your butt.
And then after you can drink it.
Ew.
[gasps] Oh God, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold,
but so good.
So cold, so cold, but so good.
Okay, I just gotta...
Keep doing that while I shower.
Then we'll break out the aloe plant and slather it all over that ass.
[exhales] Okay, thanks, Tul.
Please.

Okay. [exhales]

Hello?
What do you mean, parole?
Okay, I'm not on parole, man. Jesus...
Hello?
Oh, greetings, Your Honor. Sorry about that, I was...
Oh, like, three o'clock? Uh...
Uh, yeah, sorry. No, that's no problem. We'll see you then. Bye.
Cloud. Cloud.
You need to get up right now. Get up. Your parole officer's on the way. Please!
Okay, wait.
- Are you serious? - [Cloud mumbles]
[Tully] Oh my God.
[sighs]
Okay!
Okay! Party is over! It's time to go! Guys, I'm not...
I'm not kidding!

Cloud's parole officer is on the way right now.
- Did you just... - [Leon] Jesus...

[Margie] All right. I want chores done before dinner tonight, okay? Checklist?
- [Kate] Uh, g... - [Margie] Whoa!
- Tully! Everything okay? - [Tully exhales]
Yeah, everything's fine, Mrs. Mularkey.
I just, um... I just need to talk to Kate about a school...
assignment...
for class.
She's helping me with groceries, and then she has chores.
- Mom. - So, she will call you later.
[Tully] Okay. Sure.
[inhales] All right, fine, you can do chores later.
- Thank you. - [Margie] Mm-hmm.
Oh my God, I'm having a total freak out. Emergency is a code blue or red or yellow?
- I don't know what color, but I need you. - Okay, Tully, just mellow. Okay?
What is it?
Cloud's parole officer's coming now.
If I don't wake her and get her friends out,
then I'm gonna have to go back to Gran's.
- Shit! - Yeah.
- We should, uh... - [Tully] Go?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
[both breathing heavily]
- [woman] Is anyone else hungry? - [Tully sighs]
Guess we just gotta clear everyone out and start cleaning.

Thank you, Cloud and Celeste and Danny.
And I want to thank each and every one of you
for trudging all the way to the boonies to celebrate Thanksgiving with me.
Happy to be here.
Also, good call ordering this time.
Just gonna... Real quick, I'm gonna tell the hazmat team to stand down.
- Oh my God, Danny! - What?
[Cloud] You know, Sporty Dan,
she didn't order this. She cooked it all from scratch.
You fixed up this place and you became a Master Chef in a year?
Are you trying to snag your own reality show, Tully?
- I'd watch that. - [Tully chuckles]
No. No, no. This was just something I had to do for myself.
Well, the house looks amazing.
Are you gonna rent it? Flip it?
Actually...
I was gonna gift it.
[Cloud] You're giving me a house?
- I can't. - You don't have to live in it.
You can sell it if you want.
And I know, you don't want anything from me.
But don't forget, last time I tried to give you a car and you refused it,
my entire life went to shit.
I got arrested.
I lost my best friend.
So you kind of have to say yes.
[gentle music playing]
Yes, Tully.
- Thank you. - [Celeste] Oh my God.
That's so sweet.
I'd like to propose a toast.
I know Thanksgiving isn't the same this year without Bud.
For starters, he was the only one who knew how to properly carve a turkey.
[all chuckle]
It's hard to give thanks in the midst of such great loss.
But I find myself feeling grateful anyway,
that I got to know him as I did.
He was one of a kind.
[chuckles] To Bud.
[all] To Bud.
- [Johnny exhales] - Thank you. That was beautiful.
It's been a, um, difficult year.
But you all have made it that much easier.
- Yeah. We love you, Mom. - [Kate] Of course, Mom.
I've been thinking how fleeting it all is, this life.
- [Johnny] Mmm. - Yeah. You're right.
Which got me wondering,
when are you two gonna tie the knot?
[all chuckle]
- Whoa, Mom, let's not... - [Johnny] There it is.
Yeah, Grandma. Let's focus on what's important here.
Time is fleeting.
And I think it's time to get me a car.
Oh! No.
- That's not happening. - Is it?
Seriously though, when are you guys going to make it official again?
- Hey, I keep asking. She keeps saying no. - [Kate chuckles]
- What? - [all chuckle]
Let's talk about when Sean and William are gonna make it official.
[Sean] Um...
- Not legal, so... - Yet.
- Yes. - Not legal yet.
We could all fly to Massachusetts.
[Johnny] I'm down for that.
- [Kate] Yeah. - I'm down.
- [Sean] Yeah. Okay. - [William] Let's go!
So, Tully's been fixing up the house across the street.
I ran into her the other day. We were chatting for a few minutes.
She was in a hurry, but she seems to be doing well.
Oh, that's great. Good for her.
So, Marah, what theoretical kind of whip would you be trying to talk us into here?
I'm so glad you asked because I have a list of pros and cons.
There are no cons. I look cool driving.
- [Margie] Wow. - [Marah] All my friends can't drive.
[Danny] Celeste says that I can't have any more pie
because I'm an old man
who has to watch his cholesterol, blah, blah, blah.
- [Tully chuckles] Smart lady. - Yeah.
You got a good one there.
Yeah. She is a good one.
So, you, uh, dating anyone?
Um,
I'm sort of
dating myself...
- [Danny chuckles] - ...for a while.
I have to say, I am a moody, high-maintenance girlfriend.
No, as your former boyfriend, I happen to disagree.
- You were never my boyfriend. - The hell I wasn't!
- We dated for, like, five minutes. - We dated for at least ten.
And it was a four-way relationship between you, me, and both our careers.
Speaking of which,
I think it's time for you to get back out there. Work-wise.
The world needs Tully Hart.
I think the world has had enough of Tully Hart.
Look, I hate to bruise your ego, Tully, but nobody cares about your scandals!
The gossip industrial complex has moved on.
- Hmm. - You want to play that game?
The sex tape is the scandal baseline nowadays.
I mean, I'm not offering.
I did just get a new camcorder, though, which I am...
Okay, all right, all right.
Look, I just think you might want to meet this friend of mine.
He's a Professor at U-Dub.
He's shooting a global warming documentary.
Now, his financing stalled, but if he can get a celebrity on board,
it's back on.
Now, it might involve some rough conditions,
but you're a tough-as-nails journalist from back in the day.
- There's nothing you can't handle. - Hmm.
It's really important work.
And who knows?
He might even end up naming it "Tully Hart Saves The World."
Don't even try it with the flattery.
Though it is an intriguing idea.
I mean, I would love saving the planet.
Okay. Here is that.
- Thank you. - [Tully] Okay.
Your mother will kill us if she finds out we swiped your grandmother's quilt.
[Kate] Well, if that's the only crime we've committed, so be it.
[both chuckle]
Why are you magical elves covering my beautiful hole?
[Tully scoffs] Oh no, we only have 12 minutes left.
Okay, we've got to get Leon out of here now.
[Tully sighs]
Cool. Okay. I'm gonna... I'm gonna go throw up.
- Okay, well, can you also take a shower? - Whoa! Yep.
You smell like moldy bong water.
And put on a bra!
Leon! Come on, buddy, time to go. Party's over. Cops are coming.
Come on, Leon! [chuckles]
You are not going to be the reason that Cloud goes back to jail, okay?
Come on!
[gasps]
- Oh my God. I think he's dead! - He's not dead.
[Tully sighs]
[Kate] Well...
Yeah, he... he might be dead.
Oh! Oh, great!
Okay, he's dead. He's dead. He's fucking dead.
Fucking Leon fucking OD'd, and now he's fucking dead on our fucking couch!
I'm not just going to Gran's. I'm actually going to jail.
We are all fucking going to jail!
All right. We have to stash his body. That's our only option here.
What? Are you serious? Where?
Um, we have to stash his body...
Oh, oh! We'll put him upstairs. We'll... We'll shove him in a closet.
Have you done this before? How are you so good at it?
Read a lot of murder books.
Of course, in those books, they never get away with it.
Oh my God, we didn't murder him!
We're just hiding his body. It's totally different.
- It's totally different. - [Kate] Yeah.
- Okay. Um... - Oh my God.
- We gotta get him off the couch. Okay. - Okay.
- One, two, three. - Two, three!
[whimsical music playing]
- Okay, yeah, keep going. - Uh, okay. Um...
[Tully] This way.
- [Kate] Okay, right and pull! - [Tully] This way. Yep, and go!
[both grunting]
We have to flip him so his face doesn't get caught on the stairs.
- [Tully] Ready? - [Kate] Yep. Okay.
- [Kate] I'll get this side. - Ready?
- Go! - One, two, three... Okay.
- Oh God, sorry. - It's okay.
[both grunting, groaning]
Okay, there's no way we're gonna make it all the way.
- Okay, I have another idea. Let's go down. - Okay.
[Kate]Ah! God!
- You grab a leg. Pull. Set? - Okay.
- Go! Oh! - Go! Oh!
Pull him this way.
- Let's put him in the bathroom. - Okay, okay, okay.
[Kate] Come on!
[both continue grunting]
- [Kate] I had to pee so bad during class. - Me too.
Don't remember it being that hard to hold it when I was a college student.
That's because you were 19 and you hadn't birthed a baby yet.
Good point. God, I've never felt as middle-aged as being 45 years old
on a college campus.
- I mean, even the professors are babies. - [woman] I know.
It's like, is it hot in here, or am I in the fast lane to menopause?
I choose to believe it's hot.
Oh! And yesterday... yesterday, I pulled out this thick, wiry chin hair
- that was, like, three inches long! - [Kate chuckles]
I mean, it grew out of nowhere. It's like a second puberty.
I know, right? It's like...
Do your nipples ever get itchy?
Because I've got this one that's, like, so red and itchy,
and I don't know if it's a spider bite or maybe, like, a rash,
or, I don't know, some hormonal thing, but I've been putting lotion on it and I...
- Here, let me... I'll just show you. It's... - [gasps] Oh my God, Kate, TMI!
- I don't want to look at your boobs. - Sorry, that was weird. I just had a...
I didn't know if it was common or...
Whoops.
- [Tully] Let me see that booty. - [Kate exhales]
Ooh! Starting to blister.
Ugh, I'm so screwed.
No, you'll be all right. Just put another cold pop on it,
and in a few days, it'll start to peel and then be good as new.
I gotta get dressed for my photo shoot.
[Kate] Mmm.
[exhales]
[gasps] Ah! [exhales]
Oh, that's cold!
- [knocks on door] - Ow, ow.
- [Kate gasps] - [Johnny] Mularkey...
[Kate breathes shakily]
Johnny! Hi.
- Everything okay there, Mularkey? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sure, come on in. I was just, um, havin' a soda.
[Johnny] Oh.
Oh.
Glad I got you before you left.
So, what's going on?
Oh, uh, well, I'm planning this rock climbing trip,
and I... I thought of you
because I needed to fill in my emergency contact on the form,
and I started writing your name before realizing
you're not my emergency contact anymore.
- Uh, so I changed it to Mutt. - Oh.
Anyway, emergency contact made me think about how you don't like to wear contacts
because they... they irritate your eyes, but your glasses always get smudged.
And I don't know if Europe has the wipes that you like, um, for your glasses.
So, yeah. So I just... I... I brought you some.
[Kate] Oh.
That was so thoughtful.
Yeah, well, I just... I just want you to be able to see everything.
[chuckles nervously]
[tender music playing]
Hope Theo takes good care of you.
I mean, I'm sure he will.
He seems like a good guy.
Glad you found yourself a good guy, Mularkey.
You deserve it.
Thanks.
[tender music continues]
Have a...
lovely trip.
- [Kate exhales] - [door opens]
[Kate] I can't believe it's over.
I know. Only one class left, and I've barely written three chapters.
I'm thinking of maybe applying for the advanced workshop next semester.
Me too!
I will if you will.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Great! Okay. - Okay.
I just have no idea what I would submit.
[echoes] Well...
[sentimental music playing]
[muffled] Kate? Are you... Are you all right?
What? Oh, yeah, I'm fine.
I just saw somebody that I thought I might've known.
Wait, you mean Tully Hart? I'm freaking out.
That was definitely her.
I wonder what she's doing on campus?
Thank you so much, Henry. We really appreciate you.
You're very welcome.
When I mentioned your name to the financiers, they flipped.
You're exactly the kind of talent
they were hoping to make this subject accessible to lay people.
Wow. That's exciting.
Right?
Tully. Right?
- Yes. It is. - Yeah.
[Tully] Very exciting.
I should mention, we'll be required to isolate at a remote facility in Antarctica
for several months.
Sounds great.
- I'm in. - [elevator chimes]
[Danny whistles, exhales]
[gentle music playing]
I got to say, I was surprised you said yes so quickly.
Really. Why?
Well, because most people would take a second
to think before they agree to go to Antarctica for several months.
Not me. I follow my gut.
Right.
And it wouldn't have anything to do with what happened back there.
- I don't know what you're talking about. - Come on, Tul. I saw her too.
That had to be intense.
It's fine.
I don't even care. [inhales]
I'm glad she has a new friend.
I'm happy for her.
I am, it's great.
Okay, come here.
[Danny sighs]
- You wanna hear something sad? - Hmm?
You're my only friend, Danny. And I don't know if I even like you.
[Danny chuckles]
Oh, you like me.
We like each other.
Probably too much.
[Danny inhales]
But I am still your friend,
and I'm here for you always.
[elevator chimes]
[doors open]
- Danny! Tully! - [Tully sighs]
Oh my God. Are you crying? Is everything okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine. - We just had, uh, that meeting...
[Tully] About global warming.
- Yeah. - It's emotional.
I know.
The rainforest, the whales...
- Yeah, um, I'll ride down with you, babe. - See ya.
[elevator chimes]
[gentle music continues]
- [Danny] Hey. How are you? - [Celeste] Hi! I'm good.
[car horn honks]
[Tully] I gotta get to my photo shoot, but your cab's honking.
Kate?
Do you think Johnny gave me these glasses wipes as a message?
I don't know.
He said he wanted me to be able to see clearly.
You think that's what he wants me to see? That I'm supposed to be with him?
Babe, your cab is driving away.
Do you think that's a sign that... that I shouldn't go to Europe?
[scoffs] I think...
[exhales]
...that it's really none of my business.
Tully, come on! I need your help right now.
Do you think that he's still in love with me?
- You really want to know what I think? - [Kate] Yes!
Then, yes, I do.
I do think he is still in love with you.
- Oh my God. - [Tully] But...
- But what? - I also think it's a dead end.
And I hate saying that
because I love the guy, and I love you two together.
But he can't give you what you need.
Maybe someday,
but he's not ready now.
[sighs] If he was, you wouldn't be guessing,
and he would do better than some crappy glasses wipes.
He would show up and declare himself to you.
In the meantime, don't wait for him to figure his shit out.
Right now you've got a great guy named Theo,
who wants to take you to Paris.
Is he your forever guy? [exhales]
You don't need to know that yet.
Just go to Europe.
Have the best time. Life's too short not to.
Shit.
- Or maybe I'm wrong. - No, no, no, you're totally right.
Am I? I don't know. I'm really terrible with relationships.
It's true. Johnny's yesterday, Theo's today. I gotta get to Europe.
I... I did not scorch these butt cheeks for nothing.
That's the spirit!
And don't forget, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
That's the problem, my heart's already too fond of Johnny.
I meant your heart would grow fonder of me, bitch.
[Kate exhales]
Yeah. Hi. Can I get a taxi to the airport?
Oh no, no, no, I need one right now, like... [breathing heavily]
I'm such a fucking idiot.
No, God, not you!
Sir, no, I'm so sorry, no, no, that was about me, I, um...
Hello? Hello?
- Shit. - Okay. Let's go.
- What are you talking about? - [Tully] I'm taking you to the airport.
You have a photo shoot for a billboard, your face looming above Seattle.
- So I'll be a little late. - Yeah, two hours late.
Babe, this is an emergency.
I am your emergency contact. Now, let's go.
Thank you, Tul. What would I do without you?
[grunts] This is way better than the bathroom.
He's not gonna ask to use your tiny cupboard under the stairs.
[Tully] Okay, here.
- [bone cracks] - [Kate gasps]
Did something just crack?
Sorry, Leon.
[whimsical music playing]
- Okay. - [Kate] Okay, cool.
- Okay. Okay. - [knocking on window]
Just be cool.
Do not think about the dead body under the stairs.
- Okay. That sounds doable. - Okay.
[Tully] Come on in, Your Honor.
I'm not a judge.
- [Tully] Right. - I'm Parole Officer Johnson.
Is Dorothy home?
Uh, well, she just might not be home yet.
Because today...
- [Kate] This day, she... - ...she usually, uh, volunteers.
- Yeah. At, um, the... - She volunteers today.
- At the hospital she volunteers. - At the hospital for... sick... babies.
Oh, hello! You must be Parole Officer Johnson.
Would you like to join me in the kitchen for a chat? Care for a cup of coffee?
- Okay. - Okay, yeah.
[Johnny] Good job. Looks perfect.
I was just thinking this would be a really romantic moment for a wedding proposal.
[Kate chuckles]
You up a ladder, me basically on my knee.
[Kate] Are we doing this again?
[Johnny] No.
Just saying,
if someone were to propose in a moment like this,
they might say something like,
Kate Mularkey,
you are the only person I want to hang Christmas lights with.
And you're the only person I've ever wanted to hang Christmas lights with.
I know it hasn't always been the easiest road.
And we don't know what the future will bring, but...
one thing's clear to me.
There's no one in the world I'd rather face that uncertainty with than you.
You are my partner.
My love.
My emergency contact.
And that's why I'm asking you to be my wife.
Now,
forever,
always.
[jazz music playing]
Or something like that. I don't know.
Wow.
It's too bad you're not proposing.
[Johnny] I know.
It would've been a pretty good speech.
Yeah, a girl would have a hard time saying no to a proposal like that.
- Don't tease me, Mularkey. - [chuckles] You're the one who's teasing.
All right.
No more teasing. [exhales]
Wait, Johnny...
I've been carrying this around a long time.
Waiting for the perfect moment.
So, what do you say?
Kathleen Scarlet Mularkey,
- will you marry me? - [Kate exhales]
- Again? - [Kate sighs]
[inhales]
Oh!
Fuck it!
- Is that a yes? - Yes, it's a yes.
- That's a yes! - Yes.
[both laughing]
[Kate] Yes, yes, yes.
[Johnny inhales]
[jazz music continues]
- [both chuckle] - [Kate] Oh my God.
- [Tully] I can't believe that worked! - Yeah, believe it!
- Ugh! Stop. - [Tully] We did it!
Maybe we should consider a life of crime? [exhales]
You guys will have plenty of chances
because we're gonna have to do this every month
when Officer Happy comes back-y.
I am gonna go get high as a kite.
[somber music playing]
She's never gonna be my mom, is she?
She's never gonna take care of me.
It's okay.
We'll take care of each other.
Jesus, Mularkey, you helped me move a dead body without even hesitating!
- Well, I had to. It was an emergency. - Right.
[Kate chuckles]
What are we gonna do with Leon?
[Kate] Good question.
- [both gasp] - [Leon grunts]
Oh my God.
- [Kate exhales] - [Leon coughs, vomits]
- [coughs] - Oh.
[Leon breathing heavily]
I'm hungry.
[both chuckle]
You still got some of those HoHo's?
- Yeah. - Yeah!
- We got a lot of HoHo's! - Lots of HoHo's! Oh my God!
- He's not dead! We're not going to jail! - [both laughing]
- I forgot how much I love engagement sex. - Hmm.
[Kate chuckles]
- What do you say we go another round? - [Kate chuckles]
- Marah will be home soon. - [Johnny sucks teeth] Oh.
- Good point. - [Kate inhales]
I'm gonna hit the shower, then.
- My fiancée. - [Kate chuckles]
[gentle music playing]
[door opens]
[door shuts]
[exhales]
[keypad chimes]
[telephone ringing]
Hello?
OMG, bitch, you're never gonna believe what just happened.
Did you just call me bitch?
Who the hell is this?
Oh, it's, um...
It's Kate Mularkey.
- From writing class. - Oh. [chuckles]
Sorry. I don't have caller ID on this phone.
What's going on, Kate?
Um... [sucks teeth] Well, something big just happened.
Oh? I'm intrigued. What is it?
Johnny and I just got engaged. [chuckles]
Huh? I... I thought you guys were married.
Oh, we were, but then we got divorced, then we got back together,
and I just did not want to get married again right away.
And then I just said, fuck it.
[chuckles]
Okay, that's nice...
Well, I'm just working on that short story for class.
So...
Oh, yeah, no, I'm... So much to get done too, so...
See you in class?
Yeah, um...
You know it.
- [somber music playing] - [phone beeps]
[sirens wailing in the distance]
[knocking on door]
- Howdy, neighbor. - [Tully chuckles]
I got you a little something.
Cutting-edge technology,
heated for super cold weather.
- Here you go. - Wow, that's real nice of you, Sports Man.
I'm really happy for you.
- But I'm gonna miss you. - [Tully chuckles]
Is that okay to say?
Sure, why wouldn't it be?
- [tender music playing] - [Danny chuckles]
Uh, by the way, if I die in the tundra,
you will be the first to know.
Oh yeah? Why's that?
You're my emergency contact, buddy.
- I'm honored. - [chuckles]
I've never been someone's emergency contact before.
[both chuckle]
So. I should get back.
- Uh, Celeste and I are going to dinner. - Yeah, I gotta finish packing.
Yeah.
Have a nice trip, Tallulah Rose.
- I'll be thinking about ya. - [chuckles softly]
You will?
Yeah.
I usually do.
[sirens wailing in the distance]
[Johnny] Mularkey! Mularkey!
["The Scientist" by Coldplay playing]
Mularkey!
I fucked it up. Okay?
Those glasses wipes were bullshit.
Please, you're the best thing that ever happened to me.
I'm sorry it took me so long to work that out.
Mularkey! Oh, Mularkey!
Please don't go.
