That's so manipulative.

It's as if he wants you

feeling uneasy.

- Doctor:
Okay.

- Oh, here we go.

- See you later.

- I hope so.

- Good luck on your audition.

- Thanks.

If Kevin McCabe doesn't like you,

he's a fag.

Bye, Mom.

- Kevin:
That was outstanding.

- Woman:
It's so good to meet.

- Kevin:
You did a fantastic job.

- Woman:
You were so funny.

Kevin:
What a pro!

Woman:
Thank you for coming.

- Kevin:
We'll keep in touch.

- Woman:
We'll be talking to you.

You're not

leaving town are you?

Kevin:
No, she's not

going anywhere.

She's staying right here.

- Bye.

- Thanks again.

Elizabeth,

are you ready?

- Yes.

- Come on in.

He was great with actors.

Everyone thought

he was great.

It was a great

experience.

I heard it was

a great movie.

- Great.

- Great.

Did I say "great"

a lot?

I guess I'm just

a little nervous.

Nervous is cute.

So Elizabeth,

what do you think

is sexy?

Umm...

Sunset walks

and candlelight dinners.

What kind of sex do you have

with your boyfriend?

You heard me.

That's private.

Kevin:
You're right.

Forgive me. I was just just trying

to get a feel for what you find sexy.

Woman:
Why don't we try

reading the scene?

Let's do this,

okay?

Okay.

Director:
What we need

here is hot.

You two are about to rip

each other's clothes off.

Okay? Okay.

Gotcha.

- Ready?

- Yeah.

How do you know

they'll find us?

Maybe we'll be hiding

here for the rest...

No, no...

hotter, hotter.

Seduce him.

How do you know

they'll find us?

Maybe we'll be hiding here

for the rest of our lives.

Would that be so bad?

- Depends.

- Depends on what?

On what we'll be doing...

while we're hiding.

What if we did this?

(whispers)

Don't be scared of me.

Remember, I'm a stock broker,

not a movie star

and you want to f*** me

more than you've ever wanted

to f*** anyone

in your life.

- Okay, thanks.

- Director:
Okay?

Let's take it from

"depends on what we'll be doing."

It depends on what we'll be doing

while we're hiding.

What if we did this?

Maddy, come here.

I want to put sun-screen on you.

Jessie, you too.

You're gonna burn.

Should I put some on?

Lucky you,

you don't need sun-screen.

That's right,

you're lucky.

Why don't

I need sun-screen?

'Cause your skin can't burn,

it's already brown.

It's so incredible

what your mother did.

She must be a saint.

She did it for herself.

She was lonely.

Still,

it's so much work.

I don't know anyone who would

adopt a kid at that age.

She saved that girl's life.

She does do a lot for her.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Maddy:
Look, Mommy,

look at me.

That's nice, honey.

That's good.

That's so good.

Is she all right?

She's playing.

Oh.

She can hold her breath

a long time.

Yeah, she just

wants our attention.

Annie?

Annie!

Stop it.

What!

That's not funny.

You made us nervous.

Sorry.

It was definitely the hardest thing

I've ever done.

But I felt like I really

accomplished something.

I asked for the epidural

when I wasn't even dilated.

I didn't mind the pain.

I felt like a different person

when it was over.

If I could tolerate that,

I could tolerate anything.

- Donna:
You made it.

- Hey, guys.

- Hi, sweetie.

- Hi, Daddy.

I had no idea your brave wife

did natural childbirth.

- She's phobic about medication.

- Donna:
(laughs)

That's not why.

They sell wrapping paper

already made, you know?

This is handmade

wrapping paper.

Let's go visit Mom.

She's still in recovery.

We'll go later.

I want to be there

first thing.

We have to wait

for Bill to get back.

Where is he?

He went to help Donna

get a stereo.

- I want to go now.

- No, later.

You're not the boss of me.

I am too,

when Mom's not here.

F*** you.

F*** you.

(phone rings)

Hello.

Oh, hi.

Is she out yet?

Hi, Mama.

Is it over?

Yeah.

- How do you feel?

- Nauseous.

I hurt so much.

I never should have done this.

How are we doing,

Jane?

I might throw up.

It hurts too much.

You're gonna

feel better soon.

We're gonna have to keep

your mom here a couple of days.

Because she's nauseous?

She needs IV fluids

for the dehydration

which resulted from fluid shifts

that occurred during the surgery.

It's not uncommon.

I did...

I'm happy to tell you...

remove 10 pounds

of fat.

I think you'll be

very pleased.

You're welcome.

I thought it was supposed

to be outpatient.

Supposedly,

it's not that big a deal.

Lots of patients

have to stay over.

It sucks because Mom said

the nurses don't want

to pay attention to her because

she had cosmetic surgery.

Her doctor's gorgeous.

Mom's lying there

and you're looking at her doctor?

It's not like I can't do

two things at once.

Still.

There's no still.

Thank you.

This food

looks disgusting.

I think it looks good.

That's so weird.

He should be home by now.

I know, yeah...

Don't worry,

I'm sure everything is fine.

He probably just went

to do some errands.

I'm sure

he'll be home soon.

That's awful

about your mom.

Okay, take care.

- What's wrong with her mom?

- I don't know.

Let's go.

But I want to stay

with Mommy.

You can't, Annie.

We'll come back tomorrow.

Then I want

to go home.

You can't do that either.

We're going over to my house.

I want to sleep

in my own room.

I'll sleep there

with you if you want.

- You will?

- Sure.

Can we get ice cream?

You just ate

an enormous lunch.

But I'm still hungry.

You're not going

to understand this now,

but being a fat teenager

would not be a fun thing.

Elizabeth:

God, leave her alone.

Just like Mom.

Nobody wants to take control.

Were you a fat teenager?

- She was the Homecoming Queen.

- What's that?

Don't listen

to what she's saying.

She doesn't know

what she's talking about.

I do too. You should see

what this kid eats.

What are you

staring at?

She seems so indifferent

sometimes.

I think if Jessie and Maddy

weren't so close

I wouldn't hang out

with her as much.

Did she buy

an expensive stereo?

Mid-range.

Where'd you go after

you dropped her off?

Had to wash the car.

I'm really worried

about Mom.

I'm sure

she'll be fine.

How do you know?

I don't.

I guess it's just

what you say.

Wow!

Bill:
Oops!

Why don't you just f***ing stick

a knife in my back?

It was an accident.

- This is the second time.

- It was on the floor.

I was working on it.

I'm sorry.

I'm distracted.

I had a horrible day at work.

I'm really sorry.

Why, what happened

at work?

Arturo basically

stole my commission again.

You should tell that guy

to f*** off.

I can't.

Why not?

He takes advantage of you.

You don't understand.

What don't I understand?

You don't stick up for yourself.

Sometimes,

that's not the priority.

- What's more important than that?

- Keeping my job.

- You're the manager.

- And Arturo is the boss' nephew.

Still.

What?

You can't just run around

telling people to f*** off.

Oh yeah?

F*** off.

You've got a lot of nerve

telling me how to act at work

when you haven't had a job
