Big Love (2006) s05e07 Episode Script

I'm here for mom.
You're gonna take care of her.
Not by myself, I'm not.
I'm going to finally be a full partner in this marriage, Margene, and I expect my voice to be heard.
You said you had the money.
Tell him if he doesn't pay up now, he'll have to pay us double later.
I've got him where I want him.
Albert Grant spoke about abolishing you too.
Abolishing me? Said you may not be around much longer.
Why won't you talk to me? I'm falling in love with you.
The church rarely goes out on a limb like this.
They're retaliating because we didn't give in.
It gives every zealot in Salt Lake City the license to stab you in the back, and I'm talking literally.
I didn't tell you that I was seeing someone at B.
Y.
U.
I thought we were okay.
I'm really sorry, Ben.
I'm asking why you didn't take sacrament in church today.
I am experimenting with my actions and my thoughts and I can't have you judging me for it.
For the first time in our marriage, I'm worried About us.
- Tag, you're it.
- No, I'm not.
I wasn't ready.
- Tag-back.
- Oh, that's not fair.
Boys, pick those up.
Ben, grab a piece of that molasses pie and take it to Dean.
Dean? We're on a first-name basis with a man who sits in a car and guards our house.
And while you're at it, wake him up.
How was church? Good.
Good turnout.
There was the first baby blessing.
I love the principle.
I was an only child, and I love that my children get to grow up with so many brothers and sisters and all of the love and support of one mother and another mother and another mother.
I don't see any children at your so-called children's rally.
I see you.
Nicki, I don't choose what the news people show.
They show what they want to show.
Those banners and t-shirts turned it into one big advertisement for your sour juice company.
It's called getting a sponsor, Nicki.
It happens all the time.
I was tacky.
And don't think Bill's not plenty upset over it.
- Hello, Bill.
- I gotta run to the store.
There's a new wave of protestors swarming the lot.
That statement from the church really shook up the hive.
Hon, by the way, your front curtains were open last night.
I want them kept closed till all this passes.
- What's this? - Marriage license.
I put stickies where you need to sign.
We're good for Wednesday.
Justice of the Peace will perform the ceremony.
Lee's all set with the adoption papers.
Do I sign it as Grant or Henrickson? You can sign as either one, sweetheart.
It's your choice.
But Barb would still be she remains Barb Henrickson unless she decides to change it.
There can be two Mrs.
Henricksons.
I'm already living with three.
Bill, I know it's just a paper wedding and we're not making a big fuss about it, but I thought maybe I could get a new dress for the ceremony, nothing too expensive.
All right, but we need to be sensitive to everyone.
The ink on the divorce is still fresh.
I don't want anyone to think we're rubbing their nose in it.
You mean Barb.
Of course.
I understand, I do.
How are things between you two? I mean you say everything's all right, but we've got eyes, Bill.
I know that.
I just finalized a divorce with a woman I love, and we're moving forward slowly and carefully.
People at church were asking questions today "where's Barb?" It's embarrassing, Bill.
We're there and she's at home clipping coupons? What's gonna happen if you two don't work things out? I'll be sure to let you know if and when that happens.
Compromise on something, for crying out loud.
What are you doing in there? I like the way that you smell.
Eh, my dad uses Brut sort of a family thing.
I got this before my mission.
It's old like me.
Not too old.
Where did you go on your mission? What was that? Estonian.
I said, "I love the sound of your voice.
" I told Nicki that I had a study group at the library.
We should stick to the ground rules actual study days only.
The ground rules suck stink.
Sorry.
I want to see you more.
What if I went to that show with you tomorrow? - You mean "Les Mis"? - Yeah.
With me and my mom? Uh, not a good idea.
No, I know that, but what if I brought someone? Like who? Of course you should have a new dress.
In fact, I would like that wedding dress to be my gift to you your "something new.
" Really? Thanks, Barb.
I want you to use my personal credit card.
It has a limit of $750.
Oh, I hate this stupid thing.
Mine fell out at the checkout at Albertsons, and the bagger almost wet her pants.
Here.
This is so generous, Barb.
This means a great deal to me.
What if we did a reception? It's three days away, Nicki.
A reception requires months of planning and and besides, I don't want the street gummed up with Hummers and dusty pickup trucks or for word to get out and be accused of manipulating marriage like a game of three-card monte.
Just a few guests, nothing huge.
So you'd invite all your closest friends? Some of us don't need mass approval.
Help me peel the tatoes.
- Have you asked Bill? - I wanted to ask you first.
Bill wants us to respect your feelings.
Of course I want to respect them too the stigma that divorce carries in the state, the distance you and Bill must be feeling.
I think Barb wants us to peel potatoes.
Focus on that.
What did Bill say to you exactly? Your relationship with Bill is private.
So is mine.
But he is deeply concerned about the ability of the family to move forward, if that's what you're asking.
And if he asks what you said, I would assume I could I tell him you share the same concern.
Of course I do.
Honey, tell me you didn't walk home.
- You know the rules.
- It's only six blocks.
Six blocks of opportunity for some crazy L.
D.
S.
nut to make good on that fatwa against us.
Your mother's right, sweetheart.
You should have called.
Okay, well, I will next time.
Promise.
You can call me.
How's Gary? I was studying.
Is my new blue suit upstairs? I thought it was at Nicki's, but I can't find it.
It's for a meeting in the morning.
I don't know.
I'll go check.
- Oh, it's fine.
I can.
- Is everything okay? It's just the landlord about the store lease.
Did you speak to Marge about her shilling Goji at the rally? No, not yet.
She's still so proud of the event, I don't want to criticize her if I don't have to.
But I'll ask Stuart to check out Goji and Michael Sainte.
He's gonna do some poking around.
Did Nicki talk to you? Yes.
I guess it's fine as long as we keep it small, right? The dress? No, the reception.
There's a reception now? In this environment? How many people? Just family and a few friends.
It's like when you and I got sealed.
I I think we need to make it happen.
You're really okay with this? Bill, wherever you and I stand, Nicki deserves a special day.
I guess a reception's fine.
This is Adaleen Grant.
Leave a message.
Mama, call me.
I have some very special news.
Don't make me worry about your safety more than I already do.
And call me and at least let me know he hasn't thrown you in that hole again.
Is everything okay? Yes.
No.
Who knows? I've called four times and haven't gotten through.
Do you need something? Maybe tomorrow isn't the best time, but Mr.
Ivey and his mom have two extra tickets to something.
To what? A play.
What kind of play? It's a comedy with music downtown.
But what is it about? It's about poor people fighting the government in France.
And there's singing? Mom, it's a musical.
And Mr.
Ivey is being very generous, and I've never been to a show like this.
But did he ask me to come? Yeah.
Then we'll go.
I'd love to.
There is no meeting, Bill.
Alby bought the building.
The fax came in this morning.
He's our new landlord.
The A.
C.
breaks down we call Alby.
Water damage we go to Alby.
We get a gas leak we'll be a smoldering heap before he gets a guy up here.
And we stood 3' from that smirking rat while his lawyers were probably already closing the deal.
We're sorry.
The number you have called is not in service at this time.
What's going on? No one at U.
E.
B.
answers or I keep getting busy signals.
Bill, he has the assets of the U.
E.
B.
He has access to $300 million.
He'll chase us all over the wasatch front.
We go to the U.
E.
B.
It meets tomorrow.
Alby's misappropriating funds.
You're fighting on the wrong battlefield.
You can't appeal to the U.
E.
B.
These are the men who blindly followed Roman, who blindly follow Alby.
They're lemmings.
- But he is clearly insane.
- Face reality, Bill.
There's a church-inspired boycott.
Thousands of devout Mormons are shunning our stores like a leper colony.
We need to cash out while we still can.
I'm not cashing out.
We are not retreating an inch, Don.
The U.
E.
B.
has the power to stop him, so we go to the U.
E.
B.
We're sorry.
The number you have called is not in service at this time.
Every one of these little circles They just give you two wet naps.
What am I gonna do with two wet naps? Weeks, months, years.
And eventually it ends up on my show.
Now the U.
K.
spends around $240 million a year cleaning the gunk from the streets.
It doesn't disappear by itself.
It could take up to five years Lois.
Lois.
Call an ambulance.
You gotta call an ambulance.
I can't get up.
Lois.
Lois! A water-soluble Lois! In the United States it was developed How's it going so far? Oh, just a second.
First impressions? Marge, it's white.
It's white.
Do you need a hand? Do I look all right? Say something.
Wow.
Really? Wow, that's the one.
Isn't mama Nicki beautiful? Barb has to see this.
Don't change.
So how's it down in cougar town? I love B.
Y.
U.
I solved that thing with my dormmate.
She puts it on every day now.
Smells a lot better.
Good.
Well, you did her a favor.
No one wants to date a smelly flower.
How's your missionary doing? That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about, bishop.
I don't know what to do, and I've already prayed about it.
I just I really like him, and we write, like, twice a week.
But you've met another boy.
I never expected to get serious about this boy or his family.
Heather, this is a common dilemma for young women to face when their missionaries are away staying true.
They're polygamists.
Sister Tuttle, you and I both know what you believe, what our church believes about polygamy.
His parents are polygamists, but he's still trying to figure out what he is.
And I want to help him.
But something happened.
I overheard it, and there's no one for me to talk to about it, not even him.
They're a good family, bishop.
They don't deserve to be singled out or shunned by the entire city.
Perhaps you'd feel better if you unburdened yourself.
She's been so good since you've started coming by.
I think she knows there's a man in the house again.
Aren't you freezing? I can bring some bigger blankets.
You're really nice to me, Ben.
Who lives here with you? Crystal and her friend Jeff.
You need some adult food.
It's not that bad.
The carrots are good.
You need food.
Where's your husband? He should be taking care of you.
He is.
He'll be back soon.
And when we have our house in Henderson he's going to build me a recording studio in the basement.
He's going to be my manager.
Bill just called.
He's a block away.
What's going on? - We lost Home Plus.
- What do you mean? - They bought the building, not the store.
- Who did? The church? No, Alby.
Alby owns Home Plus now.
- He owns the property.
- Oh, Barb, what's the difference? - Wait, both stores? - I don't know.
This is crazy.
We can't lose Home Plus.
Home Plus is Bill.
Bill is Home Plus.
Home Plus is us.
Bill, I've been trying to call anyone on Juniper Creek and just get disconnected numbers.
Are you closing the stores? We should burn it down, collect the insurance and give him ashes.
We're not committing arson.
Can you at least get through to your mother? No, I tried her.
Evie said the place is on lockdown.
All right, he's finally made his move and overplayed his hand.
There are ways to beat him.
Well, like what? What can you do? I'm going down there to see.
But it's just one store.
So if we have to move every nail and screw by wheelbarrow into another building and leave him holding the mortgage on an empty warehouse fine by me.
I want to talk about something else much more important.
I want to talk about us.
We're having a wedding this week and, well, I want it to be more than just a swapping of signatures on a piece of paper.
Ceremonies are important for the lift of a family, and this wedding gives us the opportunity to recommit to our eternal marriage.
Okay, what are you proposing? A resealing all of us at the wedding, a recommitment, a reminder that despite our differences, we can come together to reaffirm our unbreakable Bonds.
Sorry, no way.
Nicki, I understand you want a special day, but we need to think of everyone.
All I do is think of everyone.
Barb had a special day all to herself.
I want one too.
A resealing isn't going to make your day any less special.
In fact it's gonna make it more special.
Oh, baloney.
Fine.
So we won't do it at the wedding.
We'll do the wedding Wednesday and the resealing this weekend.
I vote yes.
I mean if it'll bring us together yes, absolutely.
Barb? I don't know.
What do you mean? I mean I just don't know if I can go through with a resealing on Wednesday or this weekend.
I thought this was a way to validate our oneness without asking anyone to compromise their beliefs.
I appreciate that, I do, but I don't think I can just get resealed until we work out our issues, Bill.
And this doesn't have to be a big deal.
It really doesn't.
I'm gonna go salt the back patio.
I thought you'd want it.
I want it.
We need to find a new footing.
Bill, you and I are already sealed.
No matter what the church or my mother says, I believe in that sealing.
We're dangling over an abyss, Barb.
I've been working on a way for me to participate in the wedding.
There's something called the Universal Life Church.
- The universal what? - Just listen.
It's it's it's online.
It's nondenominational.
Click a few boxes, wait five to seven business days, and they send you a certificate you're a minister.
So I thought I'd officiate the wedding.
You're joking.
Tell me you're joking.
We don't want any of this public, right? I officiate we do the wedding at Nicki's house.
Or we do the county clerk's office some nosy secretary recognizes us, makes a call to channel 6.
I just hung a plaque outside a church I worked hard to build and protect.
- I know.
- No, you don't know.
A church means something.
It stands for something.
This may be a paper wedding, but you don't just go join a paper church.
Why would you do this anyway? It wouldn't change one thing about our disagreement over the priesthood.
It's not about that.
It's a statement of my investment in this marriage and this family.
This is about me being there with you and Nicki on a very special day.
You and I obviously have different views on what would make it a special day.
Thanks for all the groceries, Ben.
This must be at least $100 worth of food.
Did you bring a can opener? You don't have a can opener? Don't worry.
I'll grab one from work.
Lottie eats a lot of tuna.
I don't think you should work at that place, Rhonda.
I think you can do a lot better.
I'm a good singer and I'm a good dancer.
And I know it.
And I like doing it.
But it's not a nice place.
It's really skeezy.
What kind of future is that? Look, I only work places with a 3' rule.
I don't let men touch me, if that's what you're worried about.
I'm not a tramp.
And no one takes advantage of me.
Rhonda, we can't do what we did again.
I can still come by.
I can still bring you things, but as a friend.
Are you okay with that? Thanks for helping me.
You're welcome.
This is so exciting a musical with an intermission.
You look nice, mama.
Your teacher certainly has a crush.
What do you mean? I'm not blind.
I see the way he glances at me when I pick you up.
Maybe I should invite him to the wedding.
His head would probably explode.
I'm so sorry.
Was parking a nightmare? No, we found a spot two blocks down at the Sinclair station.
This is for you.
Thank you.
You made it.
Mama, this is Mr.
Ivey's mom.
- Call me Denise.
- Nicolette.
Nicolette, so nice to meet you.
And, Cara Lynn, you look so pretty tonight.
I'm sorry to rush everyone.
We should find our seats, so Aren't you gonna take our coats? Of course.
Thank you.
You're welcome, Nicolette.
Oh, and thank you for recommending Cara Lynn for the summer math camp.
You know, we're having a get-together at our house this Wednesday friends and family.
You should come.
Bring a date or your mother.
Or a date.
Love you too, mom.
Uh, I'll see you inside.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Enjoy the show.
Michael Sainte did a concert in Saint Petersburg.
Russia.
We're crossing borders.
If ever a place needed entrepreneurship for the common man I have DVDs to pass around.
He sings "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" to over 30,000 people in Red Square.
Pam.
All right, let's go around and report our numbers for the week.
And don't feel bad if they're low.
Everyone has slumps.
Let's start with you, Beth.
I moved 24 units and increased my downline by three.
Excellent.
Minnie? and an increase of five.
Oh, this is wonderful.
Carl, hi.
What's going on? We're almost done here.
Pam, we talked about this.
Carl, please.
We're leaving now.
Pam? I'll talk to you later, Margie.
He can't make you go.
Kindly stay out of our business.
She can make her own choices, Carl.
Not when her choices involve putting us thousands of dollars in the hole hoodwinking other idiots.
Well, maybe if you didn't boss her around so much - Marge.
- She's quitting right now.
No, she's not.
You put too much pressure on her.
She is a loving, sweet, capable woman.
- Butt out, Marge.
- No, Carl, you butt out.
Just butt out.
She's right.
I am capable.
And you can't even find a job.
Go find a job, Carl.
If Barb officiates, we can keep the wedding in the family no justice of the peace.
Why didn't she come to me first? This sensitivity thing isn't a one-way street.
Might be a nice gesture if we let her.
Because it's the safe thing to do or because it's the nice thing to do for Barb on our wedding day? I've got the satellite dish.
Throw it in.
Throw it in.
Something bad is happening.
He invested U.
E.
B.
assets the tithes and fast offerings of all of your families into a vengeance scheme against me and my own.
He's put his own selfish interests ahead of what's best for Juniper Creek.
You think you know what's best for Juniper Creek? You've lured away nine of our sisters and 14 of our precious children to a den of winos and crack whores.
It's a shelter for the abused, clearly defined at the safety net meetings you never attend.
You and your apostate wife have destroyed families and led women to perdition.
We've given them access to healthcare, counselors to speak to.
We're breaking down the walls of isolation.
Heavenly father never meant for us to assimilate with the gentiles.
Look at e way the world treats you, Bill.
That's the life you want for your family? Lura's thriving.
Your children are in a real school.
Get out.
He paid significantly over market price for the property simply because I was the tenant.
You can still go back on the deal.
My attorney has the paperwork ready.
You can override Alby's signature.
Your wife tricked my daughter away away from her husband, her kids.
I didn't know that, rod.
I sincerely hope that they can work out their differences.
It comforts me, Bill Henrickson, that you will burn in hell.
Alby's already led you there.
I saw the satellite dishes.
I saw the cell phones.
Something dark is happening here, mama.
Your brother had cell phones banished.
The children discovered something called "sexting.
" He's cutting you off from the world.
Oh, the world's a terrible place.
No tv, no phones the children study harder.
Everybody works harder.
The blessings will rain down upon us.
I'm doing his office.
Why are you here anyway? Because I'm getting married.
You're already married.
Legally married, to Bill.
And I want you to be at the wedding, mama.
It'd mean more to me than any gift.
State marriages have no meaning to me.
Well, they mean something to me.
Don't you see where this is leading you? I don't want to lose you.
Mama, look at me.
We're on separate paths, Nicolette.
Hello? Mom.
Mom.
Mom, turn that down.
Dad, what the heck happened? I busted my hip.
Leave him alone.
He'll be fine.
How long has he been lying here? Since yesterday morning.
I got him a pillow.
No.
No.
No no.
They'll take him away and they won't bring him back.
And they'll put me away somewhere.
- Bill, no.
- This is crazy.
Yes, I need an ambulance right away.
Juniper creek.
I'm sorry.
Here.
Here we go.
Here we go.
But I'll stay by your side no matter what.
No matter what.
Yes, hello.
Yes, Juniper Creek.
Hi.
Hi.
I prayed and I thought about it.
I want to be your girlfriend.
But you broke up with me.
I know.
And I shouldn't have, but I was I was scared and confused.
And I care about you too much to go away.
So here I am, not going away.
What about your missionary? I dear-Johnned him.
It's kind of cold out here.
Can I come in? - You want some cocoa? - Yeah.
Come on.
- Vanaema's kook.
- What? Vanaema's kook grandmother's cake.
The jam goes on the crust and then you crumble some of that on top.
It's usually served with Estonian whipped cream.
I bought Cool Whip instead.
Get to work.
How'd your mom like the show? She loved it.
She thinks you're very cultured.
So do I.
Next time I think we need to leave your mom out of the middle of things.
She thinks you have a crush on her.
Nicki's pretty sheltered.
Bill, Barb they all are really, but they're nice.
Oh, they're not worldly like you? Oh, is that it? You think I'm naive? No.
I will be worldly someday with you.
Where's Bill? What's this whole officiant business? Why didn't you come to me first? Um, hi Nicki.
Is Frank okay? He's in surgery.
He has a femoral fracture.
They're putting a plate in.
He'll be fine.
Bill told me you want to marry us.
You are trying to control my wedding day, and I resent it.
I wish I didn't, Barb, but I do.
I am sincerely not trying to control anything.
I just want to be a part of the ceremony.
I want to give you to Bill and him to you.
I want to join you together, just like Sarah giving Hagar to Abraham.
You you are the reason we're here.
There's no one to take care of us because there's no sisterwives, because you called them and ran them all off.
Barb did the responsible thing.
She brought shame upon us.
Everyone knows about our V.
D.
Now.
No one remembers me as Orville Henrickson's beautiful daughter.
I'll be remembered as "V.
D.
Lady"! Lois, I'm terribly sorry you see things that way.
I'm glad my son divorced you.
- Lois! - Mom, you apologize.
- Honey, she didn't mean it.
- Oh yes, I did.
Shame on you.
That's enough.
Well, I see everyone's okay here.
Glad I checked in.
Have a seat.
Come on, mom.
Excuse me, Mr.
president.
There are some people here to see you.
You see the coat, Lynn, the briefcase in my hand? What do these things tell you? Senator Barn, do you have a few minutes? Have a seat.
Thank you.
In Ethiopia there's a phenomenon called "green hunger.
" Everything appears to be green and lush, but people are actually starving.
They have absolutely no access to food.
Right now in many parts of the country the crops have failed.
Hey.
What're you watching? Africa.
How's your dad? Still in recovery.
Honey, I hate to be the bad guy here, but I'm worried about you and this Goji business.
Did Carl talk to you? Why would Carl talk to me? Pam tried to quit today.
Well, Carl tried to get her to quit.
He crashed our meeting.
I talked Pam into staying.
He got mad.
Pam got mad at him.
I know I shouldn't have stepped in the middle, - but I'm really worried about them.
- You're right.
You shouldn't have stepped in the middle.
Their marriage is their business.
Carl may have gone about it the wrong way, but I understand his concern.
Goji Blast is a money pit.
In what way? Sweetheart, it's a pyramid.
It's multilevel marketing.
I'm part of an international community in over 60 countries.
It's a structure that preys on people beneath you.
I did some digging on Michael Sainte and goji.
There's no proven benefits to that juice whatsoever.
Goji teaches faith and builds schools and bridges and clinics.
Honey, the amount of money goji actually gives to charity is a pittance.
It's all show.
We're given the tools to succeed.
And we pass those tools on to our downline.
And they pass them on to theirs.
It's like pay it forward.
I'll be upstairs.
You should meet Michael Sainte.
I have, on the hill.
Well, then you should give him a chance.
You understand you have to be near the top of the pyramid to see any big profits? Where are you? If you're asking what level I'm at, I'm still at the building level, okay? I know that money's tight.
I'm only using what I put aside from hearts on a sleeve.
Sweetheart, you have more faith, hope and charity in your little finger than I've got in my entire body.
Heavenly father got all the pieces right when he made you.
But you open yourself up to people who might take advantage of that, like Michael Sainte.
I'm not telling you what to do.
I just don't want to see you get left holding the bag.
Mom.
I thought dad was coming to spell me.
Well, I told him I wanted to.
Thanks, Benny.
Me again.
I brought you some chicken broccoli casserole.
Put it there.
They won't let me see him till morning.
He's in the I.
C.
U.
You should rest.
Why'd you come back? What, you think I scare that easily? I hate hospitals.
The doctors think they may be able to release him in 24 hours.
We actually found a nice place for Frank to rehabilitate.
What do you mean, rehabilitate? He needs some physical therapy, help getting to the bathroom.
Lois, he needs professional care to convalesce.
I see.
I shudder to ask where will I be staying? We know you don't want to stay with us, and we understand.
Bill and I were gonna talk to you about this together.
There are a few homes very close to where we live and they're very nice.
It's like really having your own apartment.
Please, Lois, take a look.
And we we can take you to visit Frank.
Visit? No.
It's just while he recovers.
Leave.
And the meals are made from scratch.
Lois! Leave! All right, all right, I am staying right here.
I know this is a disappointment.
So much in life is.
The only thing that we care about is that you are well taken care of.
And whether you like or not, that's how we love you.
Step on it.
We need those finished.
This is dumb.
Sorry, I couldn't find any yellow or purple, - but this is mostly yellow.
- Mostly.
Hey, Cara Lynn, why don't you take Wayne and Raymond upstairs? - I'll finish those up.
- All right, bedtime, guys.
The wedding's tomorrow.
We don't have half the things done that we should.
I'll be up at 4:30 putting crescent rolls in the oven.
You'd better let Bill get some sleep tonight.
He needs his energy tomorrow.
I've been thinking since yesterday when Bill proposed the resealing, and I think we should do it.
You and Barb are like vultures.
My wedding is not a corpse to be picked at.
Nicki, I know you want tomorrow to be your day.
I understand that.
I respect that.
But this is a family, and this wedding was supposed to be about growing as a family.
There are 364 other days in the year for us to grow.
I just think it'd be a nice time for us to all recommit to each other no matter what.
I was only 16 when I was sealed to Bill.
And I'm not gonna lie, I had no clue what being sealed even meant back then.
I need a sealing that means something to me now, you know? I see Pam and Carl.
I don't want us to get there.
If I consider what you're asking and that's just a really big if then I'm telling you right now the only name going on that cake is mine.
I'll be right behind you.
We'll be together forever.
Oh, come on, Frank.
Come on now.
Oh, come on now.
Come on.
Just Frank, come on.
Lois, there you are.
Lois, no! I need a doctor! Security! - Frank! - All right, get her out of here.
- What are you doing, Lois? our rent 25%.
What do you think this is a game? don't you think? On top of the church boycott too must be tough.
Does it incite you to throw in the towel, move to another location perhaps? These are all interesting questions.
I suppose we'll see.
I will build a dam against every drop of state money flowing your way no more food stamps, no more housing grants.
You and your legislations.
You have already threatened that.
You think I'm powerless? What would your flock do if they found out their Shepherd had lain with another Shepherd? I guess the real question is, what kind of man are you? We've got to take him out of the picture.
I don't want to do this, Don, but we have got to see this through.
I am not engaging in a holy war.
This is between you and him a grudge between the Grants and the Henricksons, not me.
What do you want out of life? A chance to get it right.
A nice family.
A boat.
Strip and stay in your corner.
Slower.
You like this, don't you? A little.
I mean, I know that they have the berries there.
- Yeah.
- But they've never had the juice I just need you for, like, two minutes.
Margene, uh, yeah, of course.
Just excuse me just a minute.
Can I get you some water? No, I have to be at a wedding.
Just tell me quick is this worth it? What's on your mind, Marge? - I got into this to help people.
- Mm-hmm.
I saw the kids in Guatemala, the harelips, the charity, and I wanted to do good works.
But my husband says that you prey on people like me, that your business is built on sand.
And my best friend tried to quit, and I talked her back into it.
- And now her marriage is doomed.
- Wait, whoa whoa.
Slow down.
It's okay.
Obviously your best friend has bigger issues in her marriage.
- That's not your fault.
- I know.
And your husband doesn't sound terribly supportive.
No, he is.
He he really is.
He's just concerned.
Should I be concerned? Look, Marge, some of our goji-go-getters they just sell the juice, build their downlines.
They never absorb the deeper message.
We're sharing prosperity.
I believe that.
You get that, Marge.
You got that from day one.
As far as your husband goes, you tell him that I have won three humanitarian awards for my missionary work in Africa.
I've been vetted by "The Harvard Business Review", "The Wall Street Journal".
I've rung the closing bell at the stock exchange.
You're on the right team.
I was worried.
I was shy.
I was an only child.
I was a bit in over my head.
Barb reassured me and brought me under her wing and just made me feel so welcome and loved.
I couldn't have done it without her that first year.
If it wasn't for Barb, I would have run away I was so young and inexperienced.
Honey, we just want one minute.
We want to do the resealing.
We want to do it after the wedding.
You signed off on this? It's important we're all together for time and all eternity.
But I thought we already are.
I'm about to go into battle and I want to be sealed to my wives and have that sealing in a true church.
Nicki was sealed by a false prophet; Marge was 16; And you and I were sealed By a church of hypocrites.
I know.
So apparently either I continue to believe in a sealing that means nothing to you anymore, or we get resealed in a church where I don't feel welcome.
Honey, of course you're welcome.
No, not really.
I'm sorry.
I truly am.
Just let's not let this ruin the day.
Barb? Don't push her into it.
We need to respect what she wants too.
She's asking questions.
That's a good thing.
She'll be okay.
Easy on the blush, Marge.
She's already a blushing bride.
You look beautiful, mama.
Oh, no no no.
Hold it in.
Just hold it in.
Okay, I've got waterproof mascara.
Who are you texting? A friend.
Oh, is Gary your plus-one? Gary couldn't make it.
Here.
Blot.
Don't wipe.
I thought I might deviate a bit from the usual vows.
I mean, don't worry.
It's nothing drastic.
I just wrote a short little something.
It slips right in.
I think you'll like it.
Thank you, Barb.
Of course.
No, Barb, thank you.
Mama.
Dad went and got her.
I do love you, Nicolette, and so did your father.
Walk me down the aisle.
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
Brothers and sisters, family and friends, we're gathered here today to join William Orville Henrickson to Nicolette Eugenia Grant in the joy of holy and legal matrimony.
Family is everything.
It's what keeps us going in tough times.
And I have faith that our family will keep going through anything.
This family is ordained of God.
So, unless anyone has any objections to this union, we will proceed to the vows.
Very good.
William Orville Henrickson, do you take Nicolette Eugenia Grant to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish for as long as you both shall live? I do.

I need you, Lois.
- Uh - Where are you? I really need you.

- Get away from me.
Stand By virtue of the holy priesthood and the authority vested in me, I pronounce us husband and wives for time and all eternity.
I seal upon us by virtue of the holy priesthood in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
Amen.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
What? I like that you're good at taking care of people.
Yeah, I think I found my groove.
He's choking me.
He's choking me.
Anybody, help.
Guys, no rough-housing.
Hey, break it up.
Break it up, come on.
- Hey guys.
- Hi.
Isn't she a beautiful bride? Bob, how're you doing? Good to see you.
This is great.
- Everything here okay? - Yeah, okay.
Hey, what's up, dad? Leave? Why? What do you mean, he spoke to you? The bishop? Oh my Ben! Bill, I just wanted to say hi.
Oh hi.
How are you guys? Can I help you? We're sorry to disturb your party, ma'am.
Are you Barbara Henrickson? What's the problem? Is someone's car blocking something? We know this is a bad time.
Could you step outside? Why? What is this about? Mrs.
Henrickson, we believe you possess information pertaining to an open investigation.
An investigation of what? Statutory rape.
Excuse me.
