Previously on "Related" Dad and Renee aren't coming.
Bitch.
I knew she was gonna do something like this.
No, apparently she had an asthma attack and collapsed.
Okay, so I guess I'm the bitch.
You can sleep with whoever you want.
Okay? It's your life.
You know what? We didn't do it.
You didn't? No.
But it's really good to know what you think of me.
- Rose, wait -- - No, just don't say anything else.
Are we about to do something really stupid? Welcome to my life.
Tonight on "Related" Alex and I kind of got in a fight because - he thinks -- - He thinks.
Wow, this is shocking.
He thinks you're into me.
What are you doing? I don't know.
Um Why is Renee coming to your office? I can't tell you.
What do you mean you can't tell us? It's not like it's a doctor/patient thing.
Is it a doctor/patient thing? I was 19.
I gave birth to a son.
Okay, what do you think that guy's deal is? A lawyer with a rock-'n'-roll dream.
I can see that.
What about him? Aggressively straight.
Sleeps with lots of women, but under that hugo boss suit, he's wearing girly underwear.
Are you talking about me? Run.
Run.
Run! Run! Hey, what's going on? We thought the guy in the pink underwear was chasing us.
You remember Alex.
Yeah, I didn't recognize you with your clothes on.
I take it you've heard that before, huh? Sadly, yes.
Anyway, have fun at lunch.
I got to go to the gym, but I'll catch you later? - See you later.
- Okay.
- It was nice to see you again.
- Uh-huh.
So, what do you want? There's a lot of good indian around here, and there's a szechuan village.
I'm not hearing any of this.
Is he your boyfriend now? Because that was a boyfriend kiss.
- I don't know.
- I do.
I'm the big sister, and I'm scary.
Some guy's gonna plant one on you like that in front of the big sister, he's declaring himself.
- I wouldn't go that far.
- I-I would.
What, you don't think I'm scary? No, you're scary.
Very scary.
It's just -- Rose, you have a boyfriend.
Really? Really.
What's the matter? I think I'm gonna throw up.
Oh, but in a good way.
Renee, we got kung pao chicken.
No chili, no garlic, so basically chicken.
Oh, just the way I like it.
You remembered.
You girls are so good to me.
And that's not all.
We got you a little welcome-home present just to let you know that we're happy you're feeling better.
That's so sweet.
You didn't have to do that.
What did you Oh isn't that adorable? Look at that.
Isn't he sweet? He's got the red hat on and everything.
I'm gonna put him over the fireplace with the stockings.
No, I'm gonna put him on the coffee table.
No, I want to see people's reaction as soon as they come in the house.
I'm gonna put him right in the foyer.
That was really sweet of you girls to get her that.
Now I'm gonna have to kill you.
Oh, how about the vermont camping trip? That was fun.
That wasn't fun.
There was no running water, and I got poison ivy.
Oh.
I got it.
Marjee's first ballet recital.
Oh, where she was the sugarplum fairy.
The sugarplum fairy who peed herself.
- No way.
- Yes.
Watch it.
I don't care.
It's not gonna be any fun if you're not embarrassed.
Sorry, but once your grandmother has walked in on you having sex on the bathroom floor, there just -- there really is no such thing as embarrassment.
Yeah.
Hey, what are you guys doing? We were just talking about grandma.
Yeah, I miss her, too.
Yeah.
Ann, can I talk to you for a minute? Yeah, sure.
Alone? Okay.
What do you think that's about? I don't know.
But something is definitely up.
You can hear it in his voice.
Yeah, right.
Why do you think dad wants to talk to Ann and not me? You are unbelievable.
Why does everything always have to revolve around you? It could be anything.
She could be in trouble.
Yeah, maybe.
Do you think it's something I did? What's going on, dad? Look, I, uh I need your professional advice.
It's about Renee.
So you know how the doctors were saying that Renee's attack at Thanksgiving was stress induced? Y eah.
So they think it would be a good idea if she were to see someone professionally.
I think that's a great idea.
Good, so you'll talk to her.
Listen, before you go on, I can't treat someone in my family.
It's unethical, immoral, and I don't want to know more than I already know about you and Renee.
I'm not asking you to be her therapist.
I'm asking you to talk to her.
Now, Ann I am really worried about her, and she is very resistant to the idea.
So, what exactly do you want me to do here? Tell her about therapy.
Convince her to go, you know? Coming from you, maybe she'll listen.
She respects you.
Really? I'm assuming she does.
We haven't talked about it.
Please.
Could you talk to her for me? Okay.
I guess I could take her out to lunch sometime this week.
Renee! Or do it now.
Bell time, it's a swell time Renee.
Um Ann and I have just been talking and -- go ahead, Ann.
How are you? Oh, dear lord.
You told her the doctors think I'm crazy.
No, Renee.
No one thinks you're crazy.
I just thought I'd have a talk with you about what therapy really is.
I think you'd like it.
What I'd like is private conversations to be kept private.
I don't think you should get mad at dad.
He was trying to help.
Well, he didn't.
You need help with anything else? I can't wait to get these clothes off.
Sorry I'm late.
It was hell trying to get a cab in Brooklyn.
Yeah, it is hell getting a cab, isn't it? And subways and all that stuff in Brooklyn.
Don't sometimes you wish you had a car, darling? Bob, you're forgetting -- I don't even drive.
Yeah, but I could drive you around.
It would be like having your own personal chauffeur.
I don't need a chauffeur.
Even though you would look cute in one of those little hats.
Kind of like jude law in "Alfie.
" You could pretend you're being driven around by Jude Law.
Do you even know how expensive a car is to park in the city, let alone drive one? Let's get you tucked in.
Sweetheart you know Ray on the corner? He owns the garage, yeah? He said he'd cut us a deal.
Oh, that's good, sweetie.
Good night.
Okay.
Darling.
I bought a car today.
You what? I bought a car today.
It's a Toyota Highlander.
It's a hybrid -- - You bought a car?! - Yeah.
Well, I just put the deposit down.
Well, then, un-put it, Bob.
The deposit is nonrefundable.
No, it's not.
You cannot just buy a car without consulting me.
I'll get the deposit back tomorrow.
Thank you.
Good night.
33 miles to the gallon.
Good night, Bob.
Hey.
Hello.
Is this a bad time? Actually, I got a random guy coming over, and we're about to get naked, so Perfect.
You're still mad at me.
All right.
Listen, Rose, I was totally out of line.
You think? Yeah, I do, and I'm really sorry.
Well, you should be.
I am.
You should be! I am.
I brought you a present.
"I feel sheepish.
Forgive me, please.
" Yeah, see, I was gonna send you a note, but then I figured that nothing says "I'm sorry" like a really horrible pun.
It's pretty horrible.
Really? I thought it was kind of cute.
So, do you forgive me? Yeah, I forgive you.
Can I take you out for a "we'll never talk about this again" lunch? I would love that.
So, uh, tell me about this guy.
This guy has a name.
Right.
Is it just Alex, or is it short for Alexander? Do people call him Al? How about Sasha? Hey.
So Yeah.
- We slept together.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, we did.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
You know, sometimes it's fun to state the obvious.
So what are we doing here? I don't know.
It was just fun and stupid, reckless, and - fun.
- It was fun.
- What was fun? - Um - Too late.
I'm already bored.
- Oh, great.
- Who's got the business credit card? - Oh, I do.
I'm sorry.
There you go.
That was scary.
Yeah.
So what do we do? I guess we say that it was a one-time thing.
That's exactly what I was gonna say.
- Okay, good, so then that makes us -- - Friends.
Friends.
Who've seen each other naked.
Once.
You looked good.
Stop it.
Seriously.
Yes? Your 11:00 is here.
I don't have an 11:00.
She says she's your 11:00.
Hi.
I need to talk.
Yeah, come in.
I was downtown getting a pedicure and I felt the whole room close in on me.
I used my inhaler, but I still couldn't breathe.
You were having an anxiety attack.
I was.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to intrude.
No, it's all right.
How are you feeling now? A little better.
Tell me what happened right before the symptoms started.
I got a phone call.
Okay, from who? Ann, you have to promise me you won't tell your father.
You have to promise me.
I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this.
I don't have anyone else to talk to.
I promise.
Who called you? I was 19.
There was a boy.
We weren't married.
My parents kicked me out.
I gave birth to a son.
I held him in my arms once, and then they took him away.
Oh, my god, Renee.
Is that who called? Patrick -- that's his name.
He found me.
Thanksgiving morning, he left a message on my phone.
The day you went into the hospital.
I've been carrying this number around for weeks, but every time I I go to call him, I I can't breathe again.
How can he not hate me? Renee, I'm so sorry.
- You have to tell my dad.
- No, no.
- You promised you wouldn't.
- I won't.
I won't, but you should.
You don't have to go through this alone.
I'm not going through it alone.
I've got you.
Right.
I better get going.
I've got so many errands to run, and I've got to get to the market.
Get home in time to cook dinner for your father.
Are you gonna be okay? Yeah.
Thank you, I -- I feel better.
Do you want to talk again? Maybe have lunch sometime? Yeah.
That would be super.
O kay.
So we hung out in front of the theater for five hours waiting for coldplay tickets.
It turns out we had the wrong day.
So all these people passed us by and just thought we were homeless.
I can't tell you how many people gave him money.
Well, if he doesn't make it as an actor, he can be an escort.
You don't have to be mean.
I'm not.
I'm just saying he's got career options.
- Joel, we just made up.
- I'm sorry.
What's the problem? I don't know.
I just -- I don't like the guy.
You don't know him well enough not to like him.
I don't like him for you.
Don't you think you're being a little overprotective? Maybe a little.
It's kind of endearing, don't you think? Hey, Rose.
Hey.
Hey, Joel.
Hey, Sasha.
I'm gonna go grab a coffee.
I'll be right back.
Yep, and that's my cue.
Joel, stay.
Look, if we're gonna be okay, you're gonna have to learn to be okay with him.
All right.
You want to know why I don't like hanging out with you guys? Yes.
Okay.
You be me, I'll be you, and this muffin -- this is Alex.
Now you -- Joel -- say something to me -- Rose.
Hey, Rose, have you heard about my new lab partner? I am not that bad.
Yeah, pretty close.
All right, I'll try to be better.
Will you? Yeah.
This looks good.
Dude, you just ate yourself.
Hey, mind if I take some olives? Uh, sure.
You have two of these goat cheeses.
Enjoy.
Scharffen berger chocolate -- are you kidding me? Why don't you just pack a bag? Oh, okay.
Hey, are you guys getting a car? Bob was, and then I found out, and now we're not.
Why? This car's beautiful.
'Cause we don't need one.
Yeah, but if you get a car, then I can drive it.
Oh, good, and you can take it home with your zabar's bag.
Okay, okay, but just for a minute look at this.
Look at the lines on this thing.
Whoosh! Don't you just want to have sex in it? Kind of, yes.
Look at these leather seats, too.
You can practically smell it.
I do love the smell of new leather.
Yeah.
So why aren't you getting it? Because we don't need one, and Bob already got the deposit back.
It's over.
- Okay, I get it.
- What do you get? This isn't about the deposit or not needing a car.
This is about a 16-year-old girl who hit a homeless person on her first day of driver's Ed.
Hey, he came out of nowhere, and I'd like to see you recover from something like that.
Would you relax? He turned out fine.
I mean, aside from not having a home.
Look, I live in the one city in America where you don't need a car, and I've gotten along perfectly fine without it.
Why should anything change now? Because you're about to have a baby.
So? Picture this.
You're on the corner of 57th and 6th.
It's raining.
You hail and you hail but you can't get a cab, so now you got to get the baby, a stroller, your briefcase, and shopping bags all into a crowded bus.
Good luck.
Well, then I won't have to go to the gym.
Will you let me teach you how to drive? Oh, no -- yeah.
No, no.
Okay, it's six months from now, and you're two weeks past due and then your water breaks.
Bob, he's on the other side of town.
You got no way to get to the hospital, so what do you do? You get a cab -- a dirty, filthy, disgusting cab.
But it's rush hour.
You're not gonna get to the hospital in time, so what do you do? You have to let the cab driver deliver the baby in the back of the gnarly, stinking, messed-up, gross cab.
You know how quickly mom popped them out.
Teach me.
I did.
I went to drama camp one summer.
I had just hit puberty, and I was in tights.
Girls were in tights.
It was a disaster.
So Kasnov did the scene assignments.
Oh, what did you get? You.
We're gonna do Pinter's "the lover.
" Yes.
You want to hear something wonderful Joel did for me once? Okay.
Yeah, me, too.
What did I do? Well, it was last year.
It was the first time I had ever gotten really drunk.
Oh, nice work, Joel.
I'm sure she's going somewhere else with this.
So I got really sick, and you know what Joel did? He stayed with me all night in the bathroom and held my hair back.
Oh, that's nice.
I guess most guys would have just used a rubber band.
Yeah, well, she was pretty scared, so Oh, my god.
Remember that time you and Mark Segal used the photosynthesis lab to make 140-proof grain alcohol, and then you did shots before the biochem midterm? Yeah, yeah, of course I remember it.
I got, like, a three.
Well, you guys obviously have a lot of stories to tell about throwing up, so I'm just gonna go pick up the play.
Okay, well, I'll stop by later so we can go over it.
Yeah.
Call me, okay? You think we drank too much? I don't know.
Is this like a wake-up call? Hey, Marjee, can you grab me one of those? Sorry, sir, it's the last one.
But actually, I have to go rent a r right now, so it's yours.
What awful place are you going to this weekend? Hoboken.
Yeah.
Got to teach my sister how to drive, so rent-a-wreck calls.
If you want a wreck, you should just use Jason's car, right? Maybe your sister can crash it, and he'll finally get rid of that piece of crap.
Don't call Winona that.
Don't call your car "Winona.
" Hey, look.
Really, you can borrow it.
You sure? It's not, like, weird? No.
Friends let friends borrow cars.
Yeah, they totally do.
We're not gonna scratch it.
I'm gonna be next to her the whole time.
Don't worry about it.
I trust you.
Okay.
Um so I'll bring you the keys, like tomorrow night? Sure, I'll be home.
All right.
Okay.
But just out of curiosity, did you name your car after Winona Ryder or Wynonna Judd? You know what? Don't even answer that, 'cause either way -- not so good for you.
Hey, what's up? I just came by to look at the scene.
Oh, well, I'm sort of busy right now.
Oh, okay.
Whatcha doing? Just, um, I'm hanging out with Lauren.
Oh.
Hey, Lauren.
Hi, Rose.
Can I talk to you outside for a second? Yeah, sure.
What's up? You said we were gonna work on the scene.
You said you were gonna call.
Yeah, well, Joel and I kind of got caught up.
Yeah, well, Lauren and I are kind of hanging out.
Yeah, you mentioned that.
What's going on? I got a feeling Joel's got a thing for you, and I don't want to get in the middle.
What are you talking about? Joel and I are just friends.
That's it.
Okay.
I'm gonna go.
Wait, why are you blowing me off? You're acting like this isn't important to you.
What "this"? There's no "this.
" What do you mean? Rose, stop acting like my girlfriend.
We haven't even done anything yet.
You mean we haven't had sex.
I feel like an idiot because I actually thought we'd done a lot.
Okay, give it a little gas.
A little bit more.
A little bit more.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Okay, I think maybe we just need to regroup, okay? So just throw it in park.
No, that's reverse! That's reverse! Okay.
All right.
That was good.
That wasn't good.
I've been sitting here for an hour, and I can't get this stupid car to the stupid spot.
It's okay.
These things take time, all right? Now, don't worry, honey.
What is that tone? Are you patronizing me? Yeah.
It feels good.
You know, maybe if we turn on some music, I'll relax.
Okay.
But you're not gonna like it because the tuner's busted and the tape deck's stuck, so it's Wilson Phillips or nothing.
Oh, I like them.
They're sisters.
Oh, my god.
Yeah.
Yeah, see? Okay.
Okay.
- Okay, I can do this.
- You can do it.
- This is 10:00 and 2:00.
- 10:00 and 2:00 Check in the rearview.
Check the side mirror.
Check it.
Check it.
Check it.
Okay, it's not the space shuttle.
Come on, just put the car in drive.
Okay.
Okay.
- All right! There you go, girl! - I'm driving! Okay, hands on the wheel.
That's right.
Oh, my.
So where did you get this car, anyway? Jason.
Don't get so close to that thing, please.
Jason? Your boss' boyfriend who you just kissed? Eyes on the road.
You didn't sleep with him, did you? - No.
- Good.
- Actually, yes.
- Marjee! What? What, was your life going too good? Did you enjoy your job way too much? You know what, Ginnie? You know what? I'm actually doing you a favor right now.
Oh, you know what? Is he okay? I don't know.
He's twitching on the ground.
Stop! She hit a shopping cart in a parking lot.
Cut her some slack.
She's a little rusty.
I cannot believe you told.
- Does your word mean nothing? - You knew this about me, Ginnie.
No! Hello.
Ann Sorelli's phone.
You are such an idiot.
Yes, one moment.
It's Renee.
- Dad's Renee? - Dad's Renee.
I can't wait to hear what this is about.
Hey, Renee.
Mm-hmm, that sounds okay.
Why don't you just come by my office, and then we'll go from there? All right.
Bye.
Three 3s.
Why is Renee coming to your office? To go to lunch.
I do it all the time.
Don't look at me like that.
Don't give us stupid answers like that.
Is this about that talk the other night? Yeah, why are you guys going to lunch? Come on! I can't tell you.
What do you mean you can't tell us? It's not like it's a doctor/patient thing.
- Is it a doctor/patient thing? - No.
Well, then, give it up.
You guys -- don't do this to me, okay? I promised Renee that I wouldn't say anything.
I promised Ginnie I wasn't gonna tell you about her hitting a shopping cart.
And I'm sure Marjee doesn't want you to know that she's sleeping with her boss' boyfriend.
You're what? Now you're supposed to tell us yours.
Not gonna happen.
You're what?! Okay, I don't even understand it, guys.
When I wasn't sleeping with Jason, everybody thought that I was going to.
And now that I am sleeping with him, it's like everybody's so surprised.
Sorry I'm late.
My life's falling apart.
Awesome.
Let's talk about Rose.
Honey, why is your life falling apart? I had a huge fight with Alex.
Why? What happened? Well, you know how Joel went off on me last week about Alex? Yeah, we hate him.
He apologized, and he gave me a stuffed sheep.
Oh, I love him.
Yeah, except now Alex thinks Joel has a thing for me, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with me.
He said that? No.
He said, "stop acting like my girlfriend.
We haven't even done anything yet.
" - Oh, my god! - Oh, that's terrible.
I know.
It doesn't make any sense.
I mean, he didn't pressure me to do anything, and now that I didn't, he's holding it against me.
I don't get it.
I thought he was a nice guy.
And he kissed her in front of me.
He kissed you in front of a sister? This guy's got a pair.
You're right.
It doesn't make any sense.
It sounds like he's just jealous, and he's trying to protect himself.
There's nothing to be jealous of.
Joel is my friend.
I don't understand why Alex would think that there's something between us.
Well, I do.
What? Well, I mean, you and Joel, you're best friends.
But we're just friends.
It's completely platonic.
Oh, my god, Rose.
Come on.
Were you born yesterday? A guy and a girl, platonic thing -- no, not so much.
Unless he's gay.
He's not.
- Dad.
- Hi.
So I heard Renee came to talk to you.
Yeah.
Come in.
All right, look.
I understand that this is a process and that sometimes people get worse before they get better.
Yes.
But, Renee -- I mean, something is eating away at her.
She's going through a really hard time right now.
Is it me? What? Is it about the wedding? Is she getting cold feet? Dad, I can't s-- I'm not asking you to betray a confidence.
I just need to know -- Honey, I need to know if it's something I did.
No it's not you.
All right.
Well, will you take care of her for me, please? I'll do my best, but it's kind of up to her.
Okay.
Thanks for returning the car.
Yeah, no problem.
So, how are you feeling? My dad says you're not doing so hot.
You talked to your dad? Renee, he's worried about you.
Look, I don't mean to force your hand here, but I think you need to be honest with him and get this out in the open.
I've tried.
Every time I go to tell him, I just I just panic.
I know you're scared, but what do you think he's going to do? He loves you.
I lied.
But he'll understand.
He's a good guy.
Trust him.
I'm gonna tell him.
I-I will.
I promise.
It's just I'm not ready yet.
Okay, then when will you be? I don't know, Ann.
I've got to talk to Patrick first.
If I don't, your father's never gonna look me in the eye.
Renee, you know that's not true.
No, I don't.
You know your dad.
Family is everything to him.
I mean, can you imagine if he gave one of you away? I just know that if Patrick can forgive me for what I've done maybe your father can forgive me, too.
Okay.
Then call Patrick.
What am I gonna say? Well, you can start with "hello.
" Then tell him you'd like to meet him.
Okay.
Would it help if I come with you? Would you? Of course.
Now dial.
Marjee, where did you get all of these? Are you kidding me? They're all over the highway.
That's government property! Yeah, Ginnie, like governor Cuomo's really gonna miss it.
Marjee, Cuomo's not the governor anymore.
Who is? All right.
Come on.
Okay! Okay! Almost there.
Hold on.
You can do it.
You're the best, Ginnie.
Okay! Okay! Okay! All right, nice and easy.
Come on, Ginnie! Come on.
Oh, okay.
That was a nice try.
Almost there.
Hold on! Hold on! All right.
Nice try.
I hate that cone! I hate that cement thing! What? The barrier? Yes! I hate these stupid cones.
Oh, sorry.
What are you looking at? All right, sweetie.
We're just gonna calm down, and we're gonna do it again.
No.
No more "sweetie," no more "honey.
" You're just making it too hard, Marjee.
You're not a very good teacher.
What? Ginnie, I have been totally patient with you all day and all your little freak-outs.
It's not that I'm a bad teacher.
It's you're completely unteachable.
Excuse me? Yeah, yeah.
You are completely unteachable.
You know what? Fine.
You're off the hook, Marjee.
You don't have to teach me anymore.
I'm done.
Oh, what now? What now?! Where are you going? Hey.
Hey.
You left this in my room.
I thought you might need it.
Oh, yes.
Thank you.
Taking biochem again? Yeah, it's kind of hard to recover from a three.
Joel, I need to ask you something.
Okay.
Anything wrong? I don't know.
It's just God, I can't believe I'm even bringing this up.
Whoa, Rose, you're freaking me out.
No, it's just the other day after lunch, Alex and I kind of got in a fight because he thinks -- He thinks.
Wow, this is shocking.
He thinks you're into me.
What? I know.
It's crazy, right? I mean tell me it's crazy.
It is crazy.
Okay, good.
What are you doing? I don't know.
Um I-I gotta go.
Rose, wait.
What the hell? You're just gonna storm off? Yes, people storm off all the time.
No, not in Hoboken.
All right, so that's it, huh? You hit a shopping cart, a couple of cones, you gonna call it quits? Look, you said it yourself -- I'm unteachable.
Well, you said that I was a bad teacher.
But Well, you know what? You are a bad teacher because I have not learned a thing and I have always been a straight-A student.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
I get it.
What do you get? You have to get an "A" in everything.
Yes.
If you can get the "A," why not go for the "A"? Because I had a lot more fun in my life getting B's than you did going for A's.
Oh, you know what? You didn't even get B's.
You got C's.
Yeah, that's how much fun I had.
You know what? I don't find it fun to be driving around with a "C" driver.
Oh, god.
I'm not even talking about driving, okay? I'm talking about life.
Do you remember when we were little kids and dad took us on that skiing trip and he kept trying to teach us how to stop, but we all kept falling down over and over again? Yes.
Do you think that we would have laughed as hard that day if we had all been just perfect little skiers? I wasn't that bad.
Okay, fine.
The point is you have got to stop worrying about being so damn good at every little thing and just risk falling on your ass once in a while.
Fine.
All right.
Are you going to get in, or would you rather walk? I would like to ride in the car with my sister.
Wait.
Someday somebody's gonna make you want to turn around and say goodbye Until then baby are you going to let them hold you down and make you cry Don't you know things can change Things will go your way If you hold on for one more day Can you hold on What are you doing here? I'm sorry.
I just I had to see you.
You didn't return any of my phone calls.
Yeah, well Look, Rose, I know I'm probably the last person you want to see right now, but I wanted to come by and tell you how sorry I am about the other night.
Having Lauren in my room was just messed up, and the whole Joel thing, I Truth is, I just got jealous.
And I overreacted.
Really? I'm really sorry about what I said.
I-I -- No, I think I understand.
I'm so sorry, Rose.
Something wrong? No, I'm just having a weird day.
- Oh.
- What? - I think I felt a kick.
- Are you kidding? Ooh, no.
It's just gas.
It worries me that you don't know the difference at this point.
Oh.
Isn't this the car you like? What's the name of it? - Highlander hybrid.
- Right.
Look at this -- the grains.
It's just beautiful.
Oh, it looks like they sprang for the surround-sound system.
You car-tease.
Come on.
Oh, look at the leather seats.
It looks comfortable.
Come on.
- Ginnie, you can't do that.
- They left it unlocked.
Get out of the car.
It's not funny.
Look, they left the keys.
Are you joking? Do you want to get arrested or what? They can't arrest me for stealing my own car.
What? You heard me.
Did you buy this car for me? No, I bought it for us.
Do you like it? I don't know what to say.
I bloody love it! You're never gonna get me out of this thing.
Come on.
Get out of the car.
I'm gonna take it around the block.
No, I can drive.
You can't drive.
No, I can.
Marjee taught me.
- Come on, get in.
- Great.
Oh, I love it.
All righty.
Where to? Anywhere.
Ooh.
Listen.
No sound.
Okay.
Good god.
Is this Wilson Phillips? Yes.
I can't drive without them.
Why do you lock yourself up in these chains? No one can change your life except for you " Don't ever let anyone step all over you Just open your heart and your mind Good morning.
Oh, hey.
- And you're late.
- Sorry.
Thank you for Winona.
Oh, you mean your sister didn't crash it? Trish.
Oh, Jason, that car wants to die.
Please.
I was hoping to get these keys back last night.
Oh, well, yeah.
I was hoping to give them to you last night, but I had a family dinner.
Ugh, I hate family.
Well, if you ever want to borrow it again You're saying I can borrow it? Well, I'm not using it on saturday, if you want to give your sister another lesson.
I do want to give my sister another lesson.
Wow, guys.
This is really a fascinating conversation.
Whoa.
Hi.
Are you Patrick? - Are you my mother? - No.
I'm Ann Sorelli, um her soon-to-be stepdaughter.
Stepdaughter.
Oh.
Your mom is really nervous about meeting you, so I told her I'd come along.
Is, uh, she here? No, but she'll be here soon.
Do you mind if I sit? Please.
So, you, uh do this often? You mean long-lost mother-son reconciliations in a restaurant? Pssh, all the time.
Me too.
How are you holding up? It's going to be fine.
Your mom is really excited about meeting you.
What's she like? Oh, gosh.
What can you say about Renee? She has this amazing capacity for love.
We lost our mom a long time ago, and my dad owns this deli in Brooklyn, and, for years, these women would come in and just throw themselves at him, and he didn't want anything to do with them.
Then one day Renee walks in with this big, bright smile.
Kind of like yours.
And, uh, that was it.
He was a goner.
I have her smile? Yeah.
This has got to be so strange for you.
I mean, you must have played this scene out in your head a million times.
Actually, I have no expectations.
Come on.
Well, except for childhood fantasies, which I won't get into right now.
I told myself this was the only way to go into this.
You don't know me, but trust me when I tell you -- not an impulsive guy.
It's three trips to the store before I commit to a pair of shoes.
You know, I'm always the last guy to order at any restaurant.
"You guys order.
I'm still thinking.
" - Exactly.
That guy.
- That guy.
So when the agency called and said they had a name for me, I didn't sleep for a week.
Every time I tried, I kept running these conversations in my head.
You know, what if she's angry that I called? What do I say then? What if she wants to see all my report cards for the last 26 years of my life? I should probably have those ready.
What if I don't, um What if I don't measure up? So I decided -- Okay, that's a lie.
It wasn't me.
It was my shrink.
Decided, um, that if I couldn't plan for every possible conversation, I would plan for none of them.
I told myself it would just be a little vacation in New York.
See a couple shows, take that boat around Manhattan, and then, if there's time, you know, maybe, uh pop in on my birth mom.
You have a very smart therapist.
You know what would be good? A drink.
Do you, uh, like red or white? What? What is it? Nothing.
Uh red sounds good.
