I really should

exercise more.

- (chuckles)

- It's not lack of exercise.

It's loss of elasticity.

Mother Nature.

You can expect to lose a little

weight through skin loss alone.

- Skin loss?

- Yes.

We're going to tighten

your skin here

and then down here

where it's stretched.

What do you do with the skin

when you're through with it?

We send it to pathology.

One option is donating it

to a burn center.

(whispers)

Sorry, I feel a little dizzy.

- Oops!

- Sorry.

Have a seat.

Put your head

between your knees.

Hold your head.

That's it. Much better.

Come on, Vince.

Come on.

Vince?

Can't you smell it?

Are you going to come

to the premiere with me?

You should take someone

you'll have more fun with.

I want to take you.

Then I'm there.

Good doggy,

yes you are.

Good dog.

- Sweetie?

- Yeah.

How many dogs are you

going to have?

I don't know.

- You're kind.

- You think I'm an idiot.

I think you spend

too much time saving lost dogs.

(dog moans)

Thanks, Gina.

Did you ever cheat on Dad?

Mother:
No.

Why not?

I don't know.

We did this threesome

thing once,

but it was more of a joke

than anything else.

A threesome?

Don't look at me that way.

Everybody was doing it.

You shouldn't

tell me sh*t like that.

Maybe you should try it.

Loosen up a little.

- Ha ha!

- What do you think?

They're a size eight.

Should I buy them as a reward?

How do you know

you'll be that small?

Dr. Crane said so.

Can you believe it?

I'm finally gonna get rid

of my gut!

I don't understand.

Nobody sees you naked anyway.

Will you take care of Annie

while I'm in the hospital?

- I thought it was out-patient.

- It is,

but I won't be well enough

to do anything for two days.

So that's how long she'd stay

with you. Is that okay?

It's a lot with two kids, Mom.

Can't Elizabeth do it?

You have no job

and Maddy has a ton

of play dates.

Okay, I'll do it.

Don't expect me to do it

with joy all over me.

I won't.

It's a lot, that's all.

You mean Annie's a lot.

Mom, I'll do it,

okay?

- What's it for?

- The hell of it.

- You're so sweet.

- No, I'm not. I'm regifting.

It has self-esteem

and tranquility or something.

I'm so happy

for it.

No, jerk, you burn it

and it helps you have

self-esteem and tranquility.

- Should I be offended?

- Hell no.

I have them burning

all over my house.

Listen,

I have good news.

They want you back

on Riot Act.

I can't believe it.

I didn't think I did that well.

Well enough, obviously.

They want you to meet with Kevin.

- You're kidding me?

- No.

- Oh my God.

- This would be the best break.

I'll never get it.

They want to see

the two of you together.

You mean he wants

to read with me?

Yeah, but mostly

to see if you guys are...

you know, hot together.

It's a chemistry read.

Don't look at me.

I think he's gross.

Maddy:
Mom.

- What?

- Come read with me.

Come watch Hickory Dog.

- Hi.

- Hi.

How was work?

Where's Maddy?

Reading in her room.

Come sit with me.

- What are you watching?

- Hickory Dog.

We haven't had sex

in so long.

It hasn't been

that long.

Yes it has.

Donna says, how often

do you guys have sex?

I'm too embarrassed

to tell her the truth.

Why does Donna want to know

how often we have sex?

Just talking.

So you want to have sex

so that you could have

a good answer for Donna?

Why do you have to be

such a prick?

I don't understand.

Are you saying

that you want to have sex

with me, that you miss it?

Or are you accusing me

of something?

Because that's what

it feels like.

How could you?

- I don't understand.

- Paul:
Is that him?

Yeah.

Do you think he's sexy?

He's a movie star,

everyone thinks he's sexy.

I think he's repellent.

So does my agent.

Don't tickle.

- I'm not.

- That tickles.

(sighs)

My meeting with him

is on Thursday.

I have no idea

what I'm gonna wear.

- It doesn't matter what you wear.

- Of course it matters.

I have to be sexy.

It's all based on whether

or not we have chemistry.

Paul:
Clothes have nothing

to do with chemistry.

He'll think you're sexy

or he won't.

You're being naive. I have to put

some energy into what...

Oww! You stuck

your nails into my back.

I'm sorry.

I was trying not to tickle.

Why are you

so against me?

What?

I said it was an accident.

No, what you said about

my audition, my clothes.

I have a deadline.

I have to work.

That's all.

I'll call you

tomorrow.

The truth

should be known.

Mom,

what's a "lippen section"?

It's a procedure they do

to make you look thinner.

Why?

So I can look better,

feel better about myself.

It's an improvement.

I want to tear

my skin off.

What?

I want it to be

the same as yours.

You're skin's gorgeous.

But I like yours.

But mine is wrinkled

and old and saggy.

Why would you want

to have skin like that?

Mom, they're clean

already.

A man flirted with me today.

He was at the dry cleaner's.

You spend too much on dry cleaning.

You should hand-wash.

Is that really the point?

What is the point?

Nobody wants my chairs.

- Did you try a lot of places?

- Just one.

Part of me is relieved.

I think deep down

I just want to keep them.

Why does it

make you mad?

Because

you're not nine.

- Oh!

- You need to make a living.

That's probably why

you don't want to sleep with me.

First of all,

you got that bladder infection.

Then you had

that yeast infection.

Oh, God!

You make me sound so appealing.

Why don't you just admit

you're not attracted

to me anymore?

I'm still

attracted to you.

(scoffs)

I am.

(door squeals)

- Hi.

- Hi.

Annie:
Mom's getting

cut up now?

- In surgery?

- Pretty soon.

Do you want to know

what she did the other day?

What?

She was taking me

to my date with Lorraine.

She got into the car and tried to

drive but forgot to turn the car on.

- She's a mess.

- Annie:
Like what do you mean?

She's totally

out of it.

Like what

do you mean?

It's a choice.

She goes through life in a daze so

she won't have to deal with reality.

And what's reality?

Reality is what is.

It's like the facts of your life.

Mom doesn't like the facts

of her life so she tunes them out.

Annie:
What's wrong

with her life?

Nothing, if you consider

that she has one.

(chuckles)

She's not alive?

Never mind.

I'll see you in recovery.

It'll be a piece of cake.

What kind... mocha?

(chuckles)

God, I can't believe

I just said that.

He's not

interested in me.

He's probably married.

And no offense, Mom, but this man

will be seeing your fat.

- Yeah, but you know.

- There's no "yeah, but."

It's not like he'll be seeing you

in a bathing suit.

He'll be seeing your yellow,

puffy, lumpy fat.

(both laugh)

Right. He probably

dates 20-year-olds.

Elizabeth:
Yeah, probably.

So how are you

and Paul doing?

I don't know.

He won't give me a break.

Mom:
He's withholding.

Why do you say that?

He knows what you need.

He won't give it to you.

He doesn't have the patience

for my insecurities.
