(BOTH MOANING)

You okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

Is it super-hot in here?

(ALICE CHUCKLING)

(GROANS)

Ugh.

Sorry, I just need a second.

Yeah. You want water

or a cold washcloth?

You are so maternal, Alice.

You should be a mom.

All right.

I think I'm gonna...

Yep. Yep. Yep.

(HARRY COUGHING)

Okay.

(SIGHS)

(CHUCKLES FAINTLY)

(CHUCKLES)

Mmm...

(DOOR OPENS)

Hi. You're awake.

Oh, hi. Yeah.

How are you feeling?

Better.

Good, good.

(ALICE CHUCKLES)

Oh...

Alice, I'm so sorry

you had to see me like that.

Mmm. Oh.

Yeah.

It's not exactly

a stellar first impression.

Please. I used to throw up all

the time when I was your age.

Oh.

I mean, not all the time,

but you know, I get it.

Yeah. My embarrassment

level is still a 10, though.

Oh.

Sorry.

Oh, yeah.

I had clothes on

when I got here, right?

Yeah, I don't know where...

Yeah, I don't

know when they...

Mmm-hmm. But here they are.

Thanks.

I guess George and Teddy

left me here?

They must've thought we...

Uh... No, no. They're

in the living room.

I guess they passed out, too.

Oh.

Guess we all

raged last night.

Yeah.

Did you wash these?

I did.

But only because I was doing a

load and I've been up since 5:30.

Thanks.

Yeah, no problem.

Uh...

Okay. I'll get

out of your hair then.

Great.

Okay.

Not that you, you do not have

to feel bad about any of this.

I never get out, like, ever.

So, this was actually

really good for me

and I had a really

fun time.

And thanks to you, I didn't

do anything I regret, so...

And I just always

act out on my birthday.

It's like my own

personal New Year's Eve.

So, I just go, like...

(EXCLAIMS)

Then I just reel it

back to normal.

Well, look. Hey, I'm happy to

let some steam out of the kettle.

I'm gonna stand up now.

Yeah, exactly, yes.

Okay, of course.

(MOUTHING)

Rosie, grab it quickly.

Okay, okay.

I can't believe you're making us

late on our first week of school.

I said sorry.

Hurry up, you guys.

Rosebud, grab the backpack.

ROSIE:
Okay, Nanna!

LILLIAN:
Well, well.

Huh.

Okay, you're just gonna

grab the backpack quickly...

Hi! What are you

guys doing home?

I thought Nanna

was taking you to school.

What's going on?

You're acting weird.

I'm not acting weird.

Oh, boy.

Oh, my God.

LILLIAN:
Alice!

(SIGHS)

What?

ALICE:
He was fixing that,

you know that thing that's broken

in my room underneath the...

Iz, can you go

fix Rosie a bagel?

Sure. Come on.

Thanks.

ROSIE:
Who are those guys?

ISABEL:
I don't know.

Mom! You could

have called first!

Who would have thought you'd have

company at 7:
00 in the morning?

So, we're just

gonna slip out.

Thank you very much

for everything, Mrs...

Oh, my God.

You look so familiar.

Have we met before?

That's insane.

No, I feel like I definitely

know you from somewhere.

She was married

to John Kinney.

She was in all

of his movies.

Who's this one now?

Oh, my God!

Wait! You're Lillian Stewart?

That's awesome.

Really?

And I'm pretty sure

this is John Kinney's house.

Hold on. How do

you know all of this?

I stumbled into that room back

there with all your dad's stuff.

I'm sorry. I just

got a little lost.

I'm a huge, huge

fan of your father's.

You're John Kinney's daughter?

Yes, she is.

And you are?

Am I free to head home now?

Not yet.

Nope. Okay.

As fun as this has been,

believe it or not,

I have a meeting to go to.

So, maybe we

should wrap it up.

We're filmmakers, too,

you know.

Just like your husband.

Everybody is, doll.

We're in LA.

I can't believe you're

here. And you're you.

This is surreal.

You're a terrific actress.

Come on.

I mean, I did a few

small parts here and there.

You were also smoking hot,

like in the movie

with the yellow bikini.

I was like, "Whoa, hello."

Come on!

Alice, did you hear

what he said?

Yes.

John sits down at the table

next to mine at Ma Maison

and 10 minutes later,

he pulls his chair up to mine

and offers me

the lead in Lola.

Said he liked the way I ordered my

Quiche Lorraine. I know. (CHUCKLES)

So, I have to get going.

Does everybody wanna

walk out with me?

Actually, I'm gonna stay and

make the boys some breakfast.

So, can you drive the kids

to school? This is so fun.

Is that cool if we hang

with your mom for a little?

Yeah, no, no.

That's fine with me.

TEDDY:
Wait, so you're saying

that was your first movie ever?

LILLIAN:
I know, right?

Hey, Alice?

Yeah!

Do you have a minute?

Sure.

Could we just maybe exchange

phone numbers or I don't know.

Harry, I'm very late.

Listen. I think you woke up to

a completely different person

than you met last night.

And I appreciate the gesture.

I really do. But,

how old are you?

Like, 30?

29? 28?

Something like that.

Oh, Jesus.

Okay, girls. Come on.

Time to get in the car!

Okay, okay!

She's so intense.

No, I'm not.

Good luck with everything.

Maybe I'll see you around.

Hope so.

ALICE:
Come on, ladies.

ROSIE:
Did you guys have

a sleepover? ALICE: What?

ISABEL:
How did you meet?

ROSIE:
Yeah. Are you

friends with their mom?

ALICE:
Friends with their mom?

How old do I look?

ROSIE:
I don't know.

Mom age.

Wow. You have done just a

tremendous amount of work, Alice.

ALICE:
Oh, yeah.

This is just a lot of blue.

Well, I googled your house

and I thought the Hamptons

thing would be great.

Yeah.

Why don't you sit

down for a second?

Sure, yeah.

Yeah. I... I, um...

God, I feel like I might

have misled you in some way.

Because the truth is, I don't

have this much stuff for you.

At least not right now.

Oh, okay.

Maybe I misunderstood

because on the phone you said you

were really unhappy with things.

Yeah, yeah, and I did

say that. I did say that.

You're absolutely right.

I am unhappy with things.

But if I'm just, you know,

being honest with you.

I was working with this

other interior decorator

and we just had

creative differences,

or whatever you

wanna call it.

Like, I just

kind of hated her.

You know, and so

I had to let her go.

And I'm looking

for someone

really just to

coordinate deliveries

and pick-ups and

that kind of thing.

And then after we wrap

all that then, you know...

Maybe we can talk about you doing

some of the rooms she didn't get to?

Does that sound

okay with you?

Yeah, of course.

Absolutely.

I'm up for anything.

Okay, 'cause there is one room that

I would need you to start right away.

That would be amazing.

What room?

It's my daughter

Gwyneth's playroom.

Okay.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Do you wanna

show me the room?

I can't do that right now,

because I have to take this call.

I'm so sorry about that,

and I have a blow-out.

Of course. But, why don't you email me?

Well, okay,

so the meeting's over.

We'll, sort of,

organize everything.

Okay. Should I follow...

Marta, can you please

show Alice to G's room?

Marta!

By the way, can you just make

sure to take your shoes off

when you get into the house.

We have a strict policy.
