The Kids Are All Right Page #7

sometimes.

No, no, that wasn't messy.

That was f***ed up.

I am so f***ed up.

I...

I think

I'm falling for you.

Oh, God, Paul.

Don't.

Tonight was

a really good night.

Yeah.

That one table had, like,

five bottles of wine.

It was crazy.

It was a big night.

You know,

Joni's really pretty.

I think she's got

some of your genes.

You think? I think

she looks more like

her mom, but thanks.

I appreciate that.

It was really cute

seeing you in Dad mode.

Yeah?

Yeah.

It made me want

to f*** you.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You know, I've been

missing our sleepovers.

Yeah, we haven't

been doing that in

a while, have we?

Mmm-mmm.

You want to meet up later?

Tanya,

you're so sexy

and beautiful, but I...

I don't think

we should do

that anymore.

You know,

what we have is

really fun and easy,

but I don't want to be that,

like, 50-year-old guy who's

just hanging out, you know?

I really do want

to have a family,

and I need to be doing that

with someone who's, like,

ready to go there with me.

Oh.

Okay.

Tanya.

Yeah? F*** you.

It's locked.

Yeah, I mean,

obviously I have

more to do down here.

I gotta fill it in,

but this is the general idea.

No, it looks great.

Yeah?

It's so indigenous.

Really.

I am so proud of you.

Yeah, you like it?

Yeah?

I'm so proud.

I love you, honey.

I love you, too.

I'm so glad you like it.

It's incredible.

Oh, man.

And now, wait,

how's that guy Luis

working out?

Man, I had to fire him.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, he has

a drug problem.

You're kidding!

What drug?

No. I know... I...

Blow, I think.

You're a natural, kid.

- I know.

- Good.

You're a natural.

You can never have

too much olive oil.

Big no-no.

Oh! I forgot.

N ic, I got a bitching 1998

Alma Rosa that I think

you're just gonna love.

You know what? I think

I'm gonna stick with water,

but thank you so much.

You sure?

Yeah.

Jules.

Paul, this steak

is delicious.

Thank you.

Really, it's...

What is the seasoning?

Guys, we just misted it

with a little truffle oil,

right?

Mmm-hmm.

- It's so easy.

- Wow.

What a good idea.

We ought to try that.

Right, honey?

Mmm-hmm.

And it's done

to perfection.

Yeah?

It's not too rare?

Oh, no, no.

It's juicy and tender.

Exactly what rare's

supposed to be.

Right? I mean, I got people

coming into the restaurant,

they see the slightest

bit of red, they just

start freaking out.

Isn't that annoying?

That happens to me

all the time

when I'm grilling.

Hey, red is rare.

Hello, it's bloody.

I mean...

Hello?

Yoo-hoo.

Hello, thank you.

Yeah, I mean,

if you're in Argentina,

and you ask for rare,

they bring you a cow

still mooing on the plate.

I really want to go

to Argentina. Buenos Aires

is supposed to be...

Hey. I noticed

your record collection

over there.

Wow, it's quite an

eclectic mix, you know.

Thank you very much, N ic.

You're welcome.

You don't meet

too many straight guys

who love Joni Mitchell.

You sure don't.

You like Joni?

No, not really.

We just named our

daughter after her.

Really?

Oh, shut the front door.

Come on. Really?

You never told me you

were named after Joni M.

It's so dorky.

I don't like to

bring it up.

That is so cool.

No, what's your

favorite Joni album?

It's not cool.

Blue.

Right? My brother

from another mother.

Oh, my God.

I mean...

Listen, I spent half

of high school in my room

crying to that album.

That record,

it kills me.

It doesn't stop.

No.

River. California.

A Case Of You.

All I Want.

- Oh, God.

- Right?

I am on a lonely road

And I am traveling,

traveling, traveling

Looking for something

What can it be

I hate you some,

I hate you some

I love you some

I love you

When I forget about me

I want to talk to you

I want to shampoo you

I want to renew you

again and again

Applause, applause

Life is our cause

When I think of your kisses

My mind see-saws

Do you see,

do you see

Do you see, do you see

Do you see how

you hurt me, baby

And I hurt you, too

That's why we both get

so blue

Bravo.

Don't quit your

day job, Mom.

Hey. It's already

hard enough to open your

heart in this world.

Don't make it any harder.

You're right. I'm sorry.

It was a wonderful rendition.

Beautiful, thank you.

I like this guy.

Why, thank you, N ic.

Okay. Paul,

where's your bathroom?

It's just right here

around the corner.

All right. Thanks.

And you know what?

I am gonna have a glass

of the Alma Rosa, okay?

All right.

So, I think you'd

really love Argentina.

I really

wanna go there.

Buenos Aires

is literally, like,

one of the most beautiful

cities in the world.

I was in a rainstorm

in the Grand Canyon.

- Can we go?

- I'll take you.

A big rattlesnake

when I was in the desert

in Baja, Mexico.

We should.

I'll take you to Baja.

I was in the desert and...

What's it like there?

It's beautiful.

I was surfing, but then

there was no waves,

so we climbed up

into the mountains.

And I hear a rattling,

and it was a rattlesnake.

And so I was scrambling.

I didn't know what to do,

so I reached out for

a rock, and then I threw it

at the rattlesnake...

Did you guys spend

some time up there?

Yeah, a long time ago.

Yeah. Yeah.

Beautiful, beautiful beaches.

You'd like it.

It's really nice

having you guys over.

I don't entertain here

very much.

Cheers.

- All right.

- All right.

To an unconventional family.

You and Paul

were getting along

like gang-busters.

You're sleeping

with him, aren't you?

What?

J ust be honest

with me, okay?

Don't make me feel crazier

than I feel right now.

Where is this coming from?

I don't...

Well, I found your hair

in his drain.

Because...

Because I was working,

and I got dirty,

and I took a shower.

Yeah?

Did you take a nap, too?

Are you in love with him?

No.

Are you straight now?

No. It has nothing

to do with that!

I've just felt so far away

from you lately.

Oh, right.

So it's my fault?

No! Who said

anything about fault?

Just listen to me!

I'm listening!

What?

I just... I just...

I needed...

What? To be f***ed?

No. Appreciated.

Well, it's always what

I'm not doing for you,

isn't it?

Well, okay.

Here's what

I don't do to you.

I don't work out my issues

by f***ing other people!

He's not just "other people."

No! He's our sperm donor.

You couldn't have picked

a more painful way to hurt me.

Where are you going?

I need water!

Oh!

Sh*t!

Sh*t.

Joni.

I don't want

to talk to you.

Can we just talk

about what happened?

I said I don't

want to talk to you.

Okay. I understand.

Laser? Honey?

What?

I know that

you and Joni heard

what was going on,

and I wanted to tell you

that what happened

with me and Paul is over.

There's nothing

going on now.

Okay.

I know it'll probably take

you a while to process

your feelings around this,

but I just wanted to tell you

that I'm here if you ever

want to talk about anything.

Is there anything

you want to talk about?

Not really.

How's Nic?
