Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding
- Did you know I had to get
three more bottles of wine today
on account of Richard's
new wife's aversion
to California chardonnay?
Too oaky, I guess.
- Diane--
- Is it California chardonnay
or Californian chardonnay?
- Diane--
- I never remember.
I put Bruce next to Cindy
because they worked together
on the Callahan brief.
You worked on that, right?
Did they get along?
Because l--
I can change it
if they're--
Diane, I want a divorce.
That's great timing, Mark.
Thanks.
Zoe's at Columbia,
and Jake's not far behind.
There's no reason
to continue like this.
Oh, you're an a**hole.
I'm not gonna fight
about this.
I can't fight you anymore.
I was so happy
she won the Tony.
- Oh, me too.
- Mm-hmm.
- Really?
- Yes.
Didn't you?
I thought it was
a very strange production.
It just feels
like Arthur Miller
stopped trusting
his audience at some point.
I think even
the best modern plays
would benefit
from some judicious trimming.
It's true.
We saw Shaw's Pygmalion
a few years back,
and it felt
about 30 minutes too long.
Eugene O'Neill's plays
could be cut in half.
Or better yet,
abandoned altogether.
Spoken like a true philistine.
No, no,
merely an optimist.
You know,
12-Day Journey into Night.
I'm taking the kids
to my mother's in the morning.
But you hate your mother.
Fine.
But we're doing this
as soon as you get back.
# There's a man
who lives on the sun #
# Who makes it hot
for everyone #
# Make you run aground #
# Like a ship in the shallow #
# Make your whole heart
come undone #
# And you'll come back
as the soil #
# Before you come back
as a soul #
# And you'll be worn away
by the rain and the rivers #
# Before you have
the chance to go #
# Oh-oh-oh #
# Oh-oh-oh #
# But you are not alone #
# Oh-oh-oh #
# Oh-oh-oh #
# Being on your own #
# Oh-oh-oh #
# Oh-oh-oh #
Is Grandma dying?
in some commune or something.
Did Grandma OD?
Mom, this really isn't cool.
Are we gonna meet Grandma
on her deathbed?
Mom?
Mom?
Mom.
# Being on your own #
# Oh-oh-oh #
# Oh-oh-oh #
# Being on your own #
# Oh-oh-oh #
# Oh-oh-oh #
Your father and I
are getting a divorce.
It's about time.
Wait.
Wait, are we gonna talk
about this?
Mom, seriously.
What about an answer?
This place is great.
Badass.
Hello?
# Parsley, sage,
rosemary, and thyme #
# Between the water
and the season #
# Then she'll be
a true love of mine #
# Parsley... #
I had a dream last night.
I did.
with a broken wing.
She didn't say anything--
being a bird.
with her beak
and reached down my throat
until it pulled a butterfly
from my stomach,
and two magnificent peacocks
emerged.
Then my little sparrow
spewed out the butterfly,
and the peacocks ate of it
and begot beauty
where once there was only bile.
She's beautiful.
What's her name?
I prefer not to name animals.
They're nature's children,
not ours.
I have some molasses
somewhere.
Are these all yours?
Well, I'm not overly fond
of possessions.
Excuse me, honey.
But if you mean
then, yes, most of them.
Whoa.
- What do you think?
- It's cool.
Clichd liberal propaganda.
I wouldn't say that.
Oh, a kindred spirit.
But I don't think
either one does much
to protect our freedom.
How can you say that?
Free press is the last defense
of freedom in this society.
No, the news has devolved
into sensationalist
infotainment,
and violence
is the antithesis of freedom.
- What remarkable intelligence.
Oh, there it is.
You should really
I tried,
but they follow me around
like children
to the Pied Piper.
Besides,
who am I to tell them
that they can't stroll around
as they will, hmm?
Why chickens?
Why humans?
Ah, I got to recharge my...
Oh, there's a lot of outlets
upstairs.
- Okay.
- Mm.
Why don't you settle in
upstairs?
with your brother.
Seriously?
Yeah, seriously.
Yes.
You know, um,
you're a lot different
than I thought you'd be.
What?
I don't see you for 20 years,
and then I'm blessed
with a prophetic dream.
You've been through
something traumatic.
Can we please
not talk about it?
Please?
Your soul has already told me
everything I need to know.
I'm gonna go tend to the kiln.
You and the peacocks
are welcome to stay,
as long as you don't mind
sharing the nest
with a few other
feathered friends.
Stop.
Stop it, or I'm gonna
throw it out the window.
God, I swear that thing's
like your third arm.
That's what she said.
Seriously, it's obnoxious.
Well, Zoe, you never know
when life is gonna happen.
- Where did you read that?
An ad for an energy drink?
No, I think it was for
an erectile dysfunction drug.
Still, it's true.
And you have
beautiful children.
So much light in them.
- Yeah.
- And they're creative.
That must drive the Virgo in you
absolutely mad.
How's this going for you?
- Oh, I--I barter.
I sell my art.
Good.
Mom, I have a favor
to ask you.
Well, what could I possibly
deny my prodigal daughter?
Well, I was hoping that,
uh, while we're here,
you could maybe, uh,
keep your extracurricular
activities under wrap.
Oh, I don't sell pot
anymore.
- No...
- What?
Nothing.
You're gonna call
the DEA next time?
No, I was talking more
about the--
your amorous adventures.
Look, honey, I...
I know you're trying
to protect your children,
but you're fooling yourself
if you think Zoe's
never seen a penis before.
Oh, God, please, will you just
try and be responsible?
That's all.
Please?
I will be a shining example
of upright citizenship
and constitutionality.
So we have protests
every Saturday.
Protesting what?
War, idiot.
See, the government
expects people
to lose interest
and burn out,
so we have to stay involved.
Vigilant!
# She come running
and we ball all night #
# Round and round
# Don't take much
to get me on the ground #
Okay, I'll be right back.
Don't go anywhere.
- # Yeah #
- # Yeah #
- # Yeah #
- # Yeah #
Yoo-hoo!
Sorry I'm late, babe.
What do you think
is in the bag?
Weed.
There you go.
Do you think Grandma's
smoking the ganja?
Yeah, probably.
Her house reeks.
Sweet.
It sucks
they're getting divorced.
- You haven't been around.
It's been bad.
It still sucks.
Do you feel responsible
You gonna have, uh,
daddy issues now?
- Hey!
Spielberg, knock it off.
More like Werner Herzog.
- What do we want?
- Peace!
- When do we want it?
- Now!
- What do we want?
- Peace!
- When do we want it?
- Now!
- What do we want?
- Peace!
- When do we want it?
- Now!
Here you go.
- What do we want?
- Peace!
- When do we want it?
- Now!
- New recruits.
Here, hold it up high.
Peace!
