Alex & The List Page #7

[engine roaring]

[engine shuts off]

- Nicky, don't touch that.

- He can touch whatever he wants.

Come on, grab the wheel.

Grab it! Squeeze it!

Yeah.

That's the power.

It's a game-changer, bruh.

Why don't we take it

for a spin?

Uh...

I can't. I mean, I got the kid.

You don't have to go fast.

Let's go fast.

Listen to your kid.

He's not my kid.

Oh. Why's he here?

I wanted to get his opinion.

And what do you think,

little man?

Let's buy it.

There you go. Let's make a deal.

You-You know what?

I'm worried about your dog.

- Uh... Enzo.

- What?

He felt heavy,

uh, the other day.

Like a half pound over.

Am I right?

He's a little heavier.

But I've been controlling

the portions

just like you told me.

[Alex] I don't know.

Maybe you should show me

what you're feeding him.

I mean, if he is,

that could be really...

[Nicky]

Whoo!

[Alex]

You know?

[indistinct]

- [car crashes]

- [Nicky screams]

[doctor] CT scan

came up negative.

He's lucky.

My God.

My God, honey, are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Is he gonna be okay?

He's gonna be fine.

It's just a few bruises.

- [sighs]

- Good thing it was a Porsche.

It's like a tank.

I have two myself.

Alex.

It was an accident.

[Alex]

It's my fault.

[Michael]

Hey,

we all make mistakes.

So don't beat yourself up.

Everything's okay.

No, it's not okay.

[Lily talking indistinctly]

I don't know

what the hell I'm doing.

I have no idea

what the hell I'm doing.

My dependency on this family

is so unhealthy.

And this list...

Slow down. Take a seat.

These are separate issues.

First...

Nicky is fine.

Every family makes

a mistake like this.

You looked away for one moment.

You dependency on this family,

that is a problem.

I need to back off.

Yes, you do. But not just

for them, for you.

You're hanging on to them

for dear life.

You're like a swimmer

who's drowning.

Don't drown them.

Don't drown yourself.

And the list...

Take time to explore

what you have with Katherine.

It's silly, but use

the list as a catalyst

to move your relationship

to the next level.

[sighs]

How did you find

your bashert?

Ah, you've been studying, hmm?

Bashert.

Well...

[chuckles]

With my Miriam...

it started out hot and heavy.

And after a while,

I started to become bored.

And then one night,

we really...

started to talk.

I learned that she had

a great family.

We realized that we had

similar morals,

which made it easy

for us to get along

and to have fun.

She didn't hold back,

and I didn't hold back.

And for the first time

in my life, Alex, I-I felt...

completely able to be myself.

I felt freer.

I felt freer with her than I

ever had as a single man.

We have

an authentic relationship.

And this is what you should have

with Katherine.

This is the foundation that

we built our relationship on.

But you have to do this

without family interference,

without all the bells

and whistles.

Friends, money...

This is what I wish for you.

Hmm.

Don't settle for anything less.

[crickets chirping]

[panting]

Whoo!

[woman]

Whoo!

Whoo?

[woman]

Whoo!

Whoo-woop!

[woman]

Whoo-woop!

Lead me in the path

of righteousness.

Help me use my abilities

to repair this broken world.

Help me ease and gladden

the lives of those I cherish.

This is your mikveh.

Regardless of what happens,

it will always be

a source of comfort.

This is for you.

That took chutzpah.

Hey, you all right?

You shouldn't have to take shots

for the rest of your life.

I gave Tucker away.

Alex.

I'm so sorry.

It's... probably

the right thing to do.

I can't get Gary

out of the pool.

[Gary gasping]

Hey, man.

You doing okay?

I don't know.

Is it Rhonda?

Yes.

Cold feet?

This is more than cold feet.

I'm not attracted to her.

I don't like the way she smells.

Rhonda's garlicky.

It's reciprocal.

My last girlfriend was musty.

You'll, um...

You'll get used to it.

She's not into

the way I smell either.

And the way

she drinks her coffee?

[slurps loudly]

[coughing]

You're focusing

on the wrong stuff, man.

That's nothing, right?

You guys laugh together?

Is the sex good?

Great sex.

And we laugh.

[chuckles]

Good.

But we don't laugh

at the same things.

She laughs

while we're having sex.

It's weird.

Well, Rhonda can't change

her smell, Gary.

[shouting indistinctly]

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

[panting]

I just can't stand watching

how sad you've been.

This is in no way

meant to replace Tucker.

[meowing]

I'm not allergic to cats.

It's...

It's cute.

[meowing]

You okay?

I'm okay.

Gary's wedding will be

a good diversion.

We should make it fun.

[meows]

[purring]

Take me to the docks

There's a ship

without a name there

And it's sailing

to the middle of the sea

[Alex] I got the cat to sit

with me for a few minutes.

You're bonding.

No way.

That's great.

- [door opens]

- Oh, my God. It's that lunatic.

It's okay. I am not attack.

Dave is needing

to be sorry to you.

To him, it hard talk

emotional sh*t in your face.

Just keep her away from me.

Sorry I had sex with Anastasiya.

And, Katherine,

you are not a b*tch.

Ha!

- [Dave chuckles]

- Wow!

Dave...

Oh.

Oh...

[chuckles]

Thank you.

- You should try them on.

- Okay.

I am sorry I jump your body.

Oh, don't worry about it.

We okay?

Hey, yeah.

[Rabbi Baskin] As you share

this one cup of wine,

you undertake all

the future brings.

All the sweetness life brings

will be that much sweeter

because you drink

from it together.

[slurps]

[sniffs quietly]

[exhales forcefully]

- Stop.

- [screams]

[crowd murmuring]

I'm sorry, Rabbi.

I don't mean any disrespect.

Alex.

As a new Jew...

I can't in good conscience

watch Gary break that glass

after the feelings he shared

with me in the deep end of...

Mr. Stern's pool the other day.

[crowd murmuring]

Feelings that indicate

this wedding shouldn't happen.

What are you doing?

Um...

[Alex]

Uh...

A very wise person told me

that you must live

an authentic life.

I believe if we...

let this wedding go forward,

it will be a lie.

Gary, is this true?

[Rhonda]

It is true.

And I'm sorry, Gary...

but I'm in love

with someone else.

[crowd gasping]

Oh, my God.

That makes so much sense.

[Mr. Stern clears throat]

Settle down, everybody.

Settle down.

Alex...

normally,

I would kill you

for pulling a stunt like that.

But in this case...

it was the right thing to do.

[sighs]

Now, look...

we came here to enjoy

a beautiful ceremony.

Celebrate the joining

of two lives.

And I'm paying for it.

So...

somebody here

is getting married.

You two.

Wait.

Antonio, you're a good man.

It's not gonna happen

with my daughter.

Go get a drink.

Alex, Katherine,

you two love each other.

Now, let's get on with it.

[both laughing]

Umm...

give me just... one moment.

- Yeah.

- Okay?

One moment.

[crowd murmuring]

[Rabbi Baskin]

As you share this cup of wine,

you undertake all that

the future may bring.

All the sweetness
