Indiscretion Page #2

I haven't

finished it yet,

but I will.

It's a long time.

Quit worrying.

You're always

worrying too much.

And you don't mind

dropping Lizzy off

at Ellie's

on the way there?

Well, that's

the least I could do.

After I'm senator,

I'll have even less time

to spend with her.

-Love you, Mom.

-Love you more.

All right,

I'll pick you up

Monday, okay?

Sure thing.

Well...

So... knock 'em dead, Senator.

Don't I always?

All right, give me a kiss.

Okay.

-Love you.

-Love you.

Remember, if you need me

to come down, just call.

Bye!

I don't know

what to do anymore.

Danny is still having

terrible rages.

He won't get out of bed

unless I force him to.

Last week,

he hit his sister.

There are certain

triggers and cues

that provoke different

behavioral responses.

It's important for you

to know the difference

between those that are gonna

bring about an outburst

and those that are

gonna calm him down.

That's what we're

gonna work on in

next week's session.

Thank you, Dr. Simon.

You're a lifesaver.

Danny, you ready?

Bye, Danny.

See you next week.

-Hi.

-Hi.

-I called about the sculpture.

-Yes, of course.

I'm so glad to

see you again.

Victor is actually

here right now.

I told him you

were coming.

He offered to help

load the sculpture

into your car

if you'd like.

How nice of him.

I'll just go back

and say hi.

Perfect. I'll just get

the paperwork ready for you.

Terrific.

Thank you.

Fits.

Yeah, I think

you're all set.

So how do you know when

a piece is finished?

Don't, you know?

I mean, it's never

really finished.

You just keep

working on it until...

...you feel like you

got to let it go.

I don't know, maybe

like sending a kid

off to college

or something.

It's bittersweet.

Well, don't worry.

I'll take good care

of your baby.

That sounds stupid.

Well, I have no doubt

about that.

So my friend and I

were supposed to go

try out this

new restaurant tonight,

but she just

bailed on me.

Are you hungry?

How can I refuse

my benefactor?

There are some times

when I remember

my college days,

how it felt

to be anonymous.

You know, how it felt

to be kooky and crazy

and do lot of things and...

You know how

it would be to...

If I wasn't, you know,

I would fantasize,

"Well, if I wasn't

standing at his side,

"would people even

recognize me in a crowd?"

Like, could I do

something silly?

I don't know.

I can't

really explain it.

But there is a wish

for anonymity

once you have celebrity.

It seems so freeing.

So are you in

politics as well?

Um... once upon a time,

I had really big plans,

and I was gonna

change the world.

But then I had a baby,

and all of a sudden,

it didn't seem so urgent.

So I kept my practice

because I could make

my own hours,

and, you know, I keep

a hand in politics by,

you know, helping my husband

with his political career.

So why'd you become

a psychiatrist?

I guess because

my parents were crazy.

So the same reason

that people become artists.

Yeah.

That's why

I really appreciate

working with children,

because...

...they're so much more

honest and direct

with their emotions.

So like me.

I never lie.

Well, that's

very admirable of you.

Although I do find

in my line of work

that sometimes honesty

is not the best policy.

See, you are

a politician.

No, no, let me give you,

you know, an example, okay?

Okay, bring it on.

Say two people are

getting a divorce

because of infidelity.

Now, if you tell the child

the real reason,

it risks damaging

their perception

of relationships forever.

Okay.

Or do not tell them,

but then you risk

the child thinking

it was their fault that

the marriage came to an end.

All right, I never really

thought about that.

But it's pretty cool,

how your work

directly affects people.

Yeah, well, I always wished

I was more artistic.

Come on, that's all about

being in the moment.

I mean, just being present

and letting yourself go.

I mean, at least

at some point,

you just let yourself

go, right?

I'm racking my brain.

I don't think so.

I mean, I'm a politician's

wife, you know?

Everything has got to be

pretty buttoned down,

and controlled.

All right, well,

it must be kind of strange

having these kids

tell you things

they won't tell

their parents.

I mean, all their

deepest, darkest secrets,

they share with you.

Yeah, but that's the key

to beginning to heal.

You know? I feel honored

that they trust me.

I'm really good

at keeping secrets.

Really?

So I can trust you?

Of course.

Even though I'm not

a patient or a small child.

Absolutely.

So what's a guy

like you doing alone

on a Friday night

in this city

with the most

beautiful girls

in the world?

Girls my age don't really

have any life experience

other than throwing up

on Bourbon Street.

What about you?

Husband working late?

He's out of town,

political trip.

And your kid?

At a friend's.

So I'm alone.

So it would seem.

And you're alone.

You got a dirty mind,

Veronica.

I'm just talking

about another bar.

Let's have a party now

Let's have a party now

Let's have a party now

Let's have a party now

Let's have a party now

Let's have a party now

Let's have a party now

Where did you find this?

I thought they didn't

make these anymore.

Just had it laying around.

There's something more

authentic about it, though,

don't you think?

The finality

of each picture.

You take as many as you want,

just as long as you know

I'm deleting

all of them

afterwards.

There's no delete

on a Polaroid.

I got my methods.

All right, trot the horse.

Nice trot.

Respond to that horse

by letting him go.

One more time.

Keep going.

Loosen up.

Canter. Check

that right lead.

That's good.

All right, stop your horse.

Whoa. Nice.

An animal will only

let us control them

when they want us there.

Step down.

Good lesson.

Morning, darling.

Morning, Daddy.

Beautiful.

Not nearly as pretty

as you, though.

Oh.

So did you talk to

the governor about Jake?

The governor always

takes my calls.

You know that.

-I do.

-Uhuh.

And?

He said he would

lend his support

if Jake does well this week.

You're gonna be there

to back him up?

Actually, Jake thought

it was for the best

if I sat this one out.

You know, old boys' club.

They just think

of me as a wife.

That's bullshit.

You'd make a great politician.

And you wouldn't be behind

in the polls like Jake is.

He's gonna be fine.

He knows the script.

When your mama died,

I tried to do everything

I could to keep you safe.

Now I'm worried.

I spent so much time

protecting you,

I didn't teach you

how to enjoy life.

What do you mean?

I believed in Jake

when you first met him.

Y'all got married.

I saw something in him.

But now I'm not so sure.

I just want

my little girl

to be happy,

because win or lose,

your life's gonna change

after this election.

Hi, honey.

Hey, sweetheart.

Was the governor

receptive to your proposal?
