Perfect Sisters Page #2

Yeah. You know, I'm not really comfortable...

putting Bobby on any drugs.

Maybe this is a conversation

I should be having with your mother?

I can assure you,

I'm going to be relaying all of this to her.

You're drunk.

Where's the bottle?

- Oh, my god, Mom!

- No, don't take that! That's...

Sh*t! You have an 8:00 shift this morning!

No, I don't. It's too early.

- It's 9:
00.

- You weren't even working last night!

Okay, you just missed Bobby's parent-teacher

thing so you could party!

This is not okay!

You have a family that needs you.

- I guess I had a lapse.

- Yeah.

You know, with the move and the new job...

and I'm already f***ing that up

and I'm f***ing up the job.

But I'm sorry and I'll try harder, I will...

cause I'm lettin you down, aren't I?

Again?

It's okay, Mom.

Come here.

It's okay.

Okay.

Now...

I know that this is gonna sound corny...

but I believe in you.

And I believe...

that we can get through anything...

together.

Bobby, go back to your room.

Well, if it isn't the hardest

working mom in show biz.

Beth, go run her a bath, okay?

She has an 8:
00 shift.

Yeah, that's happening. What are you...?

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

So...

she had a lapse...

but...

she says she's gonna try harder.

Well, if she said she's gonna try harder, then...

We've been through this so many times.

I know. I know.

I can't fool myself any more.

Bad stuff is coming.

It's okay.

How's your dad doin'?

I remember he used to drive carpool

in second grade.

Always listened to Guns n Roses.

Yeah, well... he's alive and well and

living with his preferred family, so...

But enough about me.

I wanna know more about this Dark Lord

thing that you're going through.

I don't know.

It's like one day, I realized that I wasn't

who I was because I decided to be that way.

You know?

Like I was just falling into step or something.

So out came the eyeliner?

It's better than being like everyone else.

Yeah, you got that right.

You know my pathetic father

always wanted to be an architect?

Yeah, he still does. I mean...

he still talks about it and everything.

But he never did anything about it.

He never even tried.

Now he's just another office drone on Paxil.

Do you really think it's that easy?

Changing your whole life like that?

Whatever.

Look, bottom line,

if you don't like how things are...

do something to make them better.

Okay.

I am going to get another lemonade, so...

I'm guessing you want something stronger?

I'm good.

- Hi.

- Hey.

Aren't you that chick that hooked up with her...

therapist?

You see, I wouldn't really call it a "hookup."

I mean,

we were together for like six months, so...

I want to buy you a beer.

Thank you, but you know, bun in the oven, so...

- Oh, right. Totally.

- Bye.

Look, I don't know what your deal is...

but you can't just dye your hair blue,

dress like a slutbag...

and expect to be the sh*t all of a sudden.

- It doesn't work that way.

- Doesn't it, though?

I know you too well, Sandra.

I'm not buying your bullshit pregnancy story.

Okay, you know what, Ashley?

You know what?

Our whole lives you've been prettier

than me and richer than me.

I mean, look at your house!

You have two parents

who treat you like a princess...

you have a little brother

who doesn't think that you're his mother...

and you don't move

to a crappier place every year.

So you know what? Just...

I'm listening.

All I really wanted this year...

was for guys to look at me.

I can drink to that.

Awesome!

Well, it looks like you

and Ashley are new BFF's.

I guess so. And I am pleased as punch...

that you are not totally frickin

depressed for a change.

I mean, admit it.

Admit it, you had something

resembling a good time. Just say it.

I thought it was pretty snazzy.

- Snazzy?

- Snazzy.

- Well!

- I did.

New house, new year. My sister's in love.

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god.

Seriously, Mom? It's a school night.

Come on, Bobby, put that down.

Put that down.

Come on. Let's go to bed.

Gee, Mom, are you loaded again?

I'm sorry. I'm a shitty mom.

Oh, god.

Mom?

Mom? Mom, why is the door locked?

Mom, open the door! Mom!

Oh, my god, Mom! Mom!

Mom, no! Stop! What are you doing?

No, no, no. Please don't do this.

It's gonna be okay. Okay, please?

Please. I'm sorry, I'll do better. Please.

Don't go blaming yourself, kiddo.

You've been everything a mother

could hope for in a daughter.

It's just her time.

No!

Why not?

You'd be so much better off without me.

No, that's not true.

- It's true.

- No, it's not.

I'm sorry.

It's gonna be okay, okay?

We're gonna do better.

I've never seen anyone

do anything like that before.

You've never seen anyone

say grace before a meal?

Our cousins life experiencedoesn't extend

much past the marijuana cloud in his bedroom.

Really? That's great.

You know what, Sandra?

You're a really good person.

I was the one

who wanted to bring him back to the pound...

- but then, you know.

- No, I mean, seriously.

I think it's very...

- attractive.

- Attractive?

Seriously, Grandpa?

Shut up, okay?

He obviously has a keen eye for beauty.

Dude, this Jew and his dad...

always said like Hebrew sh*t

before he drank wine.

Hey, everybody.

A toast.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Oh, wait, wait, wait.

It's bad luck to toast with water.

So here, here.

No, I can't have that.

Oh, just pretend.

Anyway...

I just wanted to say

to everybody here that I am...

on this special day...

so grateful that you're all in my life...

and in my wonderful childrens' life.

- Cheers.

- This is lovely.

So fabulous.

Gosh, I wasn't gonna...

I wasn't gonna bring this up tonight, but...

since you guys are my rock...

I lost my job. I was laid off.

There were layoffs at the hospital.

Oh, sweetheart.

I'm so sorry.

These big corporations think

they can do whatever they want.

You know, I know a good labor lawyer.

Oh, you do, absolutely.

Oh, that's okay, Sheila, you know...

I'll be fine. Because you know what?

My new boyfriend, he's a lawyer...

and so if I have some kind of case,

I'm sure hell tell me.

Lawyer boyfriend? Really?

Yeah, the kids haven't met him yet.

Oh, wow.

You know, you're always so positive, Linda.

You are a survivor.

You always find a way.

Yeah. I try.

But with the expenses of moving

in and everything...

this month, I'm just a little short.

And I was just hoping

that maybe just for a month or two...

and I could pay you back with interest.

Lchaim!

That was it.

Lchaim!

- Derek, where are you going?

- Out.

- All right. Drive safely now.

- Bye.

- Bye, honey. Drive safely.

- Okay.

Sweethearts, I want you to know...

that I'd help out if I could, but...

we just bought the house and

I'm a little cash poor at the moment.

- Okay? Okay.

- We understand.

You know, it was exactly the same for us

when we got the new summer home.

Will you do something about her?

Bye, I love you.

- I love you, too.

- Love you.
