Mothers and Daughters Page #2

---

Oh, so nice to meet you. Bye!

Do you have any

children, Georgina?

No, no, no I don't, no.

Well, it's impossible

not to mess up,

even when you do

everything right.

Nah, looks like you

did everything right.

Anyway, send me your

sketches as soon as you can

and we'll see what we can do to

do a gorgeous splashy layout.

That sounds perfect.

Thank you so much.

[gentle rock music]

I don't ask for too much

You can't keep up, you can't

keep up, you can't keep up

And up

[music]

Becca, come on.

We've got the reading

of the will tomorrow.

I... will you just let

me know you're okay?

Can you call us?

Alright, I love you.

Bye.

Hello? Hi?

I'm home.

What are you doing?

Hey!

Just finishing

up some work.

What are you doing?

Just gonna cook

you some dinner.

What are you doing?

Hi.

We can't afford any

of this stuff.

Oh, no this is just, uh,

some things we needed

for the new recipes.

My God, Kevin.

Who cares about

new recipes?

Well this thing is gonna rise or

fall because of the recipes.

That's cute,

that's really cute.

Why don't you keep punning

your way into bankruptcy

and we are going to have

to go and live, you know,

with your grandma

in Newark.

Would you please stop

worrying so much?

I'm sure we're going to

get a call from the loan

guy really soon.

Be able to set up that

nice little space in SoHo

-we talked about.

-Who are we kidding?

You are a straight guy who

wants to sell pastries

in Lower Manhattan?

That doesn't exactly

sound like a slam dunk.

And meanwhile, we're

almost all the way through

our savings and you're

creating new recipes?

I hardly think a few

hundred dollars worth of

truffle oil is going to

put us over the edge.

Well that's the point!

It's not just a few

hundred dollars.

It's a few hundred dollars

over and over and over again.

I can understand why

you're nervous.

You don't understand!

Because I am the person

who has to work an actual

job while you get to just

smell and taste your way

into this fantasy world.

You know this wasn't

exactly what I was expecting

when I stormed out of my

parents' house to be with you.

I wanted to stay that

vibrant, irreverent person.

And now I'm policing

your groceries?

I mean God damn it, Kevin,

I really want to start our

adult life together, and

you just made me into the

person who has to

clean everything up.

[humming idly]

Rigby!

Quinn.

-Hey.

-Hi.

What's all this?

Uh, the Vinyl Towers.

It's a set I built for you.

Oh, you're a carpenter, too?

Well, lucky for us then.

What the hell is it?

Well, it was from an

interview that I read of yours,

where you said you related more

to the golden age of rock.

You know, '60s,

'70s vinyl.

More analog than digital.

So it's kind of throwback,

but all you.

-Alright.

-Okay.

Come on.

[rock music]

Thank you.

[laughs]

Head down.

Turn to the left.

[both laughing]

She ain't walking to the city,

to the city for somehow

Good!

Yes!

Wait!

[laughs]

Give me fire,

give me water

Good. Yes!

Hey, Becca, where are you?

I know you're

confused and hurt.

And I am too.

I'm here.

I know it makes you feel good,

but you do know that weed

is a carcinogen, right?

Hey, cool, 'cause that's what

what worries me most right now.

Thanks.

Don't you hate smelling like a

frat house when you go to work?

Sorry you have to see me

lower myself to stoner status.

There's a picture of you on

Quinn's site from the concert.

You should check it out,

you look pretty cool.

Please do not

post that to Facebook.

I will never hear the end

of it from my mother.

Too late.

Your parents probably have

your apartment wired with

hidden cameras anyway.

She's going to lose your

mind when she finds out

where you're working.

Please.

She would never be caught

dead south of 63rd Street.

Downtown might as well be

another country to her.

Besides, don't you want people

to see how cool you look?

I do look pretty cool.

[phone rings]

See?

[laughs]

Hi.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Yes, that's me.

Told you.

Uh huh. Got the

tickets at work.

[laughs]

Shh!

What?

T-that's not a guy, mom.

That's Tricia Williams.

Yeah, my roommate

from Andover.

Remember?

We're on FaceTime.

I've gotta go.

Yeah, she's having

some personal problems

and I'm helping her

out with some stuff.

Well, good of you to

help out an old friend.

So where did she end up?

Rutgers.

Isn't that a state school?

A perfectly good waste of

prep school education.

Stop it, mother.

She got into Yale

early decision,

same school that

waitlisted me.

-Yes.

-Not everyone can afford Ivy.

But you are a Princeton grad,

in the entry program

of Wells and Kinney.

Yes, you know what, I did

graduate from Princeton,

where I magically made

it off the wait list,

and I did magically get into the

most competitive Entree program

in all of Manhattan.

I have to go, mom.

But the markets are closed!

Look, I thought maybe we

could hang out a little

bit and, you know, I'd

like to hear all about

what's going on.

Nope, still working.

I'm making a delivery

for one of the partners.

Delivery?

Yeah.

That's how they

break us in.

Can you believe

the bastards?

I gotta catch the subway.

I'm gonna lose you.

Why don't you take a cab

or, you know, call Howard.

He's downstairs.

[door opens]

Hey.

Hey.

-Okay?

-Yeah.

Tony?

Tony!

Will you set the

table please?

Dinner time.

Every time.

Did you hear

from Becca today?

What do you think?

I think it's time

for me to call her.

Don't.

She's mad at me.

She's gonna be just as mad at me

when she finds out the truth.

You know, this isn't

just happening to you.

I know that, Peter.

I don't know what to do.

Maybe we should just let

her process things and

come to us when

she's ready.

How is she gonna process

it if she doesn't know

everything is

what I'm saying.

Well she's not gonna

talk to you either.

Maybe.

Tony, how do you feel about

leaving your Aunt Becca

a message?

She's not my Aunt Becca.

-Come on.

-You guys are liars.

You lied to her

and you lied to me.

Maybe if you weren't so

afraid of a fight,

we wouldn't all be living

a total and complete lie.

Don't talk to your

mother that way.

I can't believe how

weak you guys are.

You lied.

You could've just

told us the truth.

Oh yeah?

You have no idea what

you're talking about.

You're right, dad.

I don't know what I'm

talking about because you

never tell me anything.

No, no. Let him be.

Let him be.

Early birthday present.

What?

Wanna look?

Yes! What is it?

Is that Times Square?

[giggling]

But not just Times Square,

this is gonna be everywhere.

What you did on that

shoot was magical.

You really captured him.

Quinn and his team wants

your images to define him

from now on.

Across the planet.

And Quinn wants

to hire you.

-No.

-Mhm.

Really? Why?

For what?

Well, um, for some more

shoots obviously, but uh,

maybe um, a

sponsorship campaign.

Mmm... great.

Look, um, I don't wanna, you
