In The Land Of Women Page #3

Are you ready to make history?

She might have a point, sweetheart.

It could be a little awkward.

What do we know about this guy?

Forget it. Just forget it.

I thought maybe, maybe, just do

something nice for somebody sometime...

...but I can't handle the two of you

ganging up on me.

This is happening

because we're all really scared.

So I'm gonna say to you

the same thing I said to her.

Whatever we find out tomorrow,

we deal with it together.

Now, your daughter

would like to apologize...

...and she said, if you really want her to...

...she'll go across the street now

and ask Crazy's grandson out on a date.

He's a sweet kid. I feel bad for him.

He's heartsick.

I'm gonna be with you every second.

What?

Well, I'm just curious.

Do you ever worry that you're gonna

get stuck in one of those positions?

Yes, I do.

Ready for bed?

Did you know yoga increases circulation...

...promotes health and well-being

and also reduces anxiety?

Yeah, I've read that.

Well, maybe you could try it.

Hey, you know what?

I'm sorry if I've seemed

a little bit distracted lately.

It's cool.

Good night, muffin.

Did you get my pills?

Yeah, these are some pretty serious

tranquilizers you got here.

Are you sure it's safe

to be taking these all at once?

I love it.

Who changed the sheets?

I did.

Who's Sofia?

How did you know about that?

Oh, you kind of mutter in your sleep.

What are you doing in my room

when I'm sleeping?

That's a really good question.

Well, she was my girlfriend...

...and she doesn't wanna

be with me anymore.

Is she zaftig?

Yeah. Spectacular, actually.

That's so important.

I'm Sofia.

I am completely in love with you.

Goodbye.

Hey. How you doing?

- Yes?

- Do you know where you are?

I'm just regrouping.

- I could give you a ride home if you want.

- No. I'm good.

Gotta keep running. It's healthy.

Actually, you know what?

My mom and I kind of

got into this fight the other night.

I mean, it wasn't really a fight,

it was just... .

She wanted me to maybe ask you

if you wanted...

...to go see a movie or something.

And I told her

that it would be really embarrassing.

It would be the last thing

that you'd want to do.

I mean, some creepy girl accosting you

like you're some kind of charity.

This is really coming out wrong.

Your parents, they normally pretty cool

about letting you go out on a school night?

Not really.

Do you think if you were

taking me to a movie...

...being neighborly,

they might make an exception?

I don't know.

All right. Find out. Get back to me.

What is it?

It's possible...

...I think maybe...

...my toilet might be stopped up.

Maybe? What's the variable?

Water's running over the top.

The carpet's all wet.

Well, I'll take a look. First, I just gotta

stop off in my room and kill myself.

I think I should tell Paige alone.

I think it's less scary

if it's coming from me...

...and she sees that I'm fine.

I think you're right.

But I want you to tell Lucy.

It's better that way.

So he goes, "Find out. Get back to me."

Which is not exactly like, whatever...

...but it definitely indicates

that he might be, you know--

- Interested?

- Yeah. Kind of, right?

I mean, even if he were,

it would still be the most awkward--

- Do it.

- You think?

Yeah. You have to do it.

And you know what else?

Like, seriously,

you have to take me with you.

All right. Somebody better tell me

what's going on here.

I really want ice cream.

I've been thinking about that all day.

Who wants to come with me?

Wait, but what--?

You want me to go get ice cream?

You know what? You two go ahead.

Lucy and I are gonna take Bozo for a walk.

Come on. It'll be good.

Does it hurt?

No.

The chemotherapy can be rough,

and they said there's nausea.

And it could make me tired.

Are you scared?

Yeah, sometimes.

Not right now, though.

Right now I feel pretty tough.

You don't look so tough.

I took $20 from your purse.

Really? When?

A while ago. Last February.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

I've been wanting to tell you for a while.

I felt bad about it. I'm sorry.

Well, just out of curiosity,

what did you need $20 for?

It's stupid.

I wanted to start saving money,

you know, for the future.

But I didn't have any money...

...so I needed a foundation.

Right. Well, at least

you're financially responsible.

I'm telling you because other than that,

I don't have any secrets from you.

- It's okay to keep some things to yourself.

- Yeah, but I don't.

Like, I always tell you the truth

because you always tell me the truth.

Right?

Right.

If you say everything's gonna be okay,

I believe you.

And I know you're telling the truth

because you wouldn't lie to me.

Maybe to other people...

...like, maybe to Lucy

or maybe to Dad...

...but not to me.

I just needed to know.

Are you gonna be okay?

Hey.

What's going on?

You look good.

You look better than you did the other day.

- So, what was her name?

- Sorry?

- The girl you wrote all those letters to.

- Oh, Sofia.

- Was she your first love?

- Yeah.

Well, there was somebody

in high school...

...but I used to have this tendency

to project onto girls...

...my fantasies of what

I thought they should be like.

Didn't have anything to do

with what they were actually like.

It would just take me forever

to figure that out.

Usually four to five months.

But Sofia was different?

Yeah. Well, you know.

No. Actually, that was pretty much

the same deal.

Well... .

Come on.

There's something I wanna show you.

This is exciting.

Do you know where we're going?

I feel like we're gonna

run into the cast of Deliverance.

Love it here.

I have this whole science-fiction scenario

worked out...

...where I pretend that since

there's no evidence of modern life...

...that I could walk out of these woods...

...and be in another time

and a different place.

I love that.

My husband has been having an affair.

I found out a while ago

and I didn't do anything about it.

I told myself

it's because of the girls and... .

I just have a very comfortable life.

It's very clean.

I'm good at that, you know?

And the thing is, he's really a decent guy.

I mean, he's a good provider and... .

Anyway, it's discreet, I guess.

I don't know.

That must sound pretty vacant to you.

I wouldn't even begin to know

how to have an opinion about that.

The thing is, I just don't... .

I just don't love him.

Not like you love her.

Not like that kind of love...

...where it hurts when it's good...

...especially when it's good, you know?

The further away I get from that

and the more I talk to you, you know...

...l'm not so sure

that was real love either.

You know, I'd really like

just to give you a hug right now.

Would that be weird?

Hey, Lucy can't know anything

about Nelson's--

- Sarah.

- Right.

Goes without saying.

You know, she asked me about taking you

to a movie on a school night specifically.

We usually don't let her

go out on the weekdays.
