She likes to be kissed

on the lips, honey.

Look, mom, it's Trey.

Hello, grandma.

What he just did...

Was it...

He fooled around and

then he kissed me.

Yeah?

And then he kissed me...

- Oh! Wow!

- Oh!

How are you doing? Do you remember me?

Who is that, mom?

What'd she do?

Is that a yes?

Who is that?

What do you think I...

Do I remember you?

I don't know.

If I hadn't been there, you

probably wouldn't have been born.

Yeah... yeah. She was there

when you were born, I think.

You look beautiful.

Yeah, she was the doctor.

You look...

Give me a hug.

You look beautiful.

Doesn't she look good?

Yeah. Thank you.

Thank you.

You're beautiful, too.

And speaking of beautiful, mom...

There she is.

Look at that.

Look at that, she's sleeping.

That's baby rose, mom.

Isn't that the sweetest thing.

Isn't that the sweetest thing?

Mom! Mom! Look!

It's Krisha! Look over there.

Aw!

Isn't she beautiful.

Look at Krisha, mom.

Mom, there's Krisha.

Hey.

Her name is Krisha?

Her name is Krisha.

Yeah.

After you?

She...

That's Krisha. Your daughter.

No...

Her name is rose. You know me, right?

That's your middle daughter.

Huh? That's your middle daughter.

That's Krisha.

I'm Robyn... The baby

isn't named after me.

She thinks the baby's named after me.

No, the baby's rose.

What's... What's my name?

Who is that?

Come on.

She knows who you are.

It's Krisha. Your name is mama.

What's my name?

It's Krisha, mom. It's Krisha.

Huh?

I know it's Krisha.

Okay, good. So, she wants to

know you know it's her.

She's happy to see you.

I'm so happy to see you again.

She's happy to see you.

What did I do wrong?

You didn't do anything wrong.

Anything wrong.

I'm the one who always

did the things wrong.

Nobody did anything wrong.

We're all happy and we're together.

When you lived with

your grandmother

as long as I did...

No, your grandmother... My mother... very

seldom did I please her in anything.

When she got older, she was just...

I know...

She was grumpy, wasn't she?

- She tried hard, but she...

- I know...

just had so much she could do.

We... we were lucky then.

We were lucky... 'Cause

we got a good mama

- who loved us a lot, right?

- Yeah.

- The sweetest mama.

- You are a good mama.

She's the sweetest mama.

You stole my...

The beauty I saw...

A woman who just was confused

because she always was embarrassed

about where she was born

and where she had lived

and stuff.

No, now, she was embarrassed?

And she, so she kept... Yes.

She kept herself down a

lot like that... Mmm.

Oh! And I couldn't talk

to her, she'd say...

I knew... I knew...

Okay, you go ahead, Krisha. Mom, we're

going to go get you something to drink.

How about some cold water?

Okay? Okay.

Give her some cold water.

Yeah, I'll give her some, too

but you, let's get you some,

okay?

Well I'm all right without

it, but she's... All right.

- Pretty upset.

- It's okay.

I don't know how

we're gonna find it.

Look, I'm gonna get

you a drink...

You have a perfect forehead.

You're silly. Okay.

What are you worrying about?

Trey is... I don't know, he's

kinda going to that place.

He's okay.

Trust me, I think he's okay.

I think this is really

important for him.

And it's important...

It was important for me

to get her here and do this.

I know you're worried

about me... and him.

But it's gonna be okay.

I really believe it. Okay?

I just need you to be there and

just support me and know it's okay.

Okay? Did you get

your walk in today?

I did. I walked this morning.

Will you go do

your karate or something?

That'll make you feel better.

Thanks for taking

good care of me.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Hi, this is Richard.

Leave your name and number and I'll

get back to you as soon as I can.

Hey, Richard.

It's me, baby.

Um, can you call me back

when you get this, please?

'Cause I could really use

a hit of your voice.

Thank you, baby. Hey, I didn't mean

what I said and you know it. Okay?

Love you, baby.

Bye.

I'm back, I'm back.

Does she look like

she's getting sleepy?

Does she look sleepy?

Yeah. Now you gave me a smile.

Mmm...

Yes she did.

Yeah, she gave me

a little, short smile.

- Yes, you did.

- She likes you.

She does.

She likes you a lot.

Yeah. Do you like grandma?

Hi, grandma.

Are you a good baby?

She's a good baby. You look

like you're a good baby.

Yeah.

You wanna get

a little closer to grandma?

Here we go, big move.

Trey, are you all right?

Okay. Yeah, it's fine.

F*** me...

What happened?

What did she do? Honey.

Oh, my god, that's my...

We gotta get her up.

Oh! Wait, honey...

Don't...

I'll tell you what, grab a leg

for me while it's down there.

Shut up! You're...

I want you to stay here. You

just stand there, okay? Okay.

I'll be right back.

Get all that.

Don't... Logan, don't worry

about what we're going to eat

or what we're not

going to eat. All right?

I can tell you what

we're not going to eat

and most of it is in that trash can.

All right? Oh... come here now...

Krisha...

Krisha, where did

this come from?

- It's not mine, Robyn.

- I swear to god.

What do you mean it's not yours?

It was in your bathroom.

- It is Doyle's.

- Excuse me?

He's been drinking out in the dining

room all day. Nobody talks about that.

He drinks all the time

and nobody says anything

and I'm the f***-up...

Young lady, you are

incapacitated right now.

I would choose your words very

delicately and very carefully.

You are disaster incarnate

and you have ruined

a perfectly good evening!

I saw what you did to the Turkey, all

right? Please stop, please stop.

Okay, okay. Your cocktails,

your pharmaceuticals

and your recipe is no excuse, young lady,

for your insanity and your dementia!

- Stand down. Stand down.

- Okay, listen to me.

You're not coming over here, Krisha.

I need...

He's been through a lot. You're

not doing that, come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on, it's all right.

F*** me...

Oh, god...

- Hi, this is Richard.

- Leave your name and number...

- Hi, this is Richard.

- Leave your name...

Hi...

Hi, this is Richard.

Leave your name and number and I'll

get back to you as soon as I can.

Well, hello, Richard. Yes,

I'd like to leave a message.

I want to say

I hope you're very happy.

I hope that you really like

the way this all turned out.

When you didn't

return my phone calls.

When you told me to "need" you.

"Call me if you need me, baby.

"Yeah. Be vulnerable.

"I'm your big man, right?

"I got your back."

Well, it's too late now, okay?

All of my hard work.

It's too late.

Because not one f***ing

person on the planet

would answer the phone

when I call them for help.

So, you know what?

F*** you.

You're dead to me.

You were a complete mistake. I

should never have even met you.

And I certainly

shouldn't have loved you.

I always have loved you...

I loved you and...

And you f***ed

me over like this...

Really, really...
