doing wedding plans

with what's-her-name.

Oh, my god!

She seems really excited

and loves all my ideas.

And I know who

the flower girl is.

Oh, I wonder who?

And I've been really getting into

volunteering at the hospital.

You should come down here with

me sometime and meet the staff.

And not married.

That's so funny.

My daughter's

not married either.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know that

I'm keeping busy with all my stuff,

and, basically, I feel great.

So, give me a call, and let me

know you're safe and sound.

And I hope you're not thinking

about Jacob too much.

Love you...

Hello, is...

- Is that you? Hello?

- Marnie, is that you?

It's Tony.

I'm here with cos and Dominic,

and we all wanted to say hi.

- Here, talk to Dom.

- Hey, Marnie, how are you?

Hey, Dom.

How are you feeling?

Are you coming back to Jersey

for Joe's anniversary?

Yeah, sure, but maybe not

actually on the actual day.

I have to get settled first, and then

as soon as I feel a bit more settled,

then I'm gonna come and,

you know, I'll book a flight,

and then I'll come see you guys.

How's Ange? How's she doing?

She's good, she's good. Yeah,

you want to talk to her? Angie!

No, if she's busy, it's okay.

Don't...

Marnie, where are you?

When are you coming to visit?

Soon. I just...

Right now I just have

an awful lot on my plate, so...

Have you thought about what kind of a

headstone you want to get for Joe?

We were talking and Tony thought

it should have a quote on it.

Just... I'm really busy right

now, you know.

I'm planning a wedding

and I'm dog-sitting.

And then, then I have this

friend that I'm driving places.

And so it's, it's...

You know, I really got

a lot going...

Oh, shoot, Ange, I just...

There's a problem I got to fix,

so, you know,

can I call you back?

I'll call you back, okay. Bye.

You don't have to say anything

if you don't want to.

Is it something that happened

at work?

He just always does this to me.

Your boss?

No. No, my brother.

He sends this e-mail saying

he wants to see me.

I'm not even talking to him, but

he's still telling me what to do.

Why aren't you talking to him?

He's always getting me

in trouble.

It's the same thing

since we were kids.

As soon as I get

something good going,

he goes and just tries

to wreck it.

You know, Freddy, sometimes a person

seems like they don't really care,

but really they're just

not as strong as you are.

I bet your mother would be really

happy if you gave him another chance.

Anyway, thanks.

Be extraordinary!

I just... I will wear anything, but

I do not look good in strapless.

No. I mean, I don't look good

in anything, so I don't know.

That's crazy. But everybody

looks good in a wrap dress.

Excuse me,

how many bridesmaids are there?

Oh, well, there's me,

Emily, Trish, Stacy, Casey.

Wow.

Katie m., Katie p., Molly,

- Gina, Amy, fern...

- Fern.

Oh, and Wendy.

Who am I forgetting?

Oh, Lori.

If she's even in town.

Oh, she'll be there.

Are you sure?

'Cause the dresses are color

coordinated, and we need an odd number.

She'll be there.

I'll make sure.

Okay. Did you really

book blues traveler?

The guy with the harmonica?

Yeah. He's fantastic.

Very cool.

Yeah, really cool.

Okay, you guys...

That's it.

It's really white.

This is the one.

I could murder you.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

You look so skinny.

Okay.

Well, no, don't fall so in love

yet, because I'm actually,

I'm not gonna get

this exact dress,

but I am gonna copy the design

and buy cheaper fabric, and then

have it made at half the price.

Oh, Jesus.

You look so beautiful.

Oh...

I'm so happy for her.

Are you okay?

Don't do this. She's so skinny.

She looks fantastic.

Don't do that.

Happy for her?

No, I'm really happy for her.

Do you really love it?

Oh, Marnie, of course,

but, you know...

She looks great.

She looks really lovely.

- What...

- No!

What did... no!

What did you do?

What?

Marnie! No, Marnie!

Oh, my god!

No, you should have it.

Okay, I know you're not

my birth mother,

but will you please

be my earth mother?

No!

What!

My mom's not dead,

but will you be mine, too?

- And mine, please!

- Mine, too!

Anyway, I just wanted to make

sure you're gonna be back in time

for what's-her-name's wedding.

I don't think

you're gonna want to miss it.

For making squished sandwiches

with it...

Oh, Paninis.

Paninis, yeah.

It's gonna be the party

of the century.

So hopefully, you don't have

to do re-shoots or whatever.

Anyway,

I hope you're having fun.

I'm kind of dying

to find out how it's going.

I miss you, but, basically,

I feel fine.

So, give me a call,

but if you can't...

What the hell, lady?

Okay. Love you.

And then I realized that Freddy

didn't have anyone to study with.

So, I found out what classes he was

taking and what books he needed,

and I got them on Amazon,

half-price.

So now I can help him study.

Hmm. Why do you think

you're helping him?

Well, he comes from a poor neighborhood,

his mother works all the time,

and, you know, education is

the most important thing to him.

And Jillian?

Jillian?

Well, Jillian, she never had

a proper lesbian wedding.

And... I had the money

and so I thought,

"I can do that."

What's Jillian's last name?

Begins with a "g"...

Or a "k".

It's a consonant.

A consonant.

A consonant.

Marnie?

Hmm?

Do you think there's

a part of you

that maybe feels guilty that

you have your husband's money?

Like you've been given

this consolation prize...

You don't know what to do with?

Or maybe there's

a part of you...

That feels like maybe money

is the way to save everybody.

Or possibly even a way to stay

in people's lives and be needed?

And that this relationship that

you have with Freddy and Jillian,

it's really all about just replacing

your own husband and daughter?

So I told her, "I don't need

to replace anyone."

And why would I feel guilty

about Joe's money?

I mean, he started out from nothing.

He worked hard all his life.

He would have wanted me to do

something good with it, right?

Like Cinderella.

Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo.

But she kept asking me

all these questions

and saying all this stuff.

And I was like, "you're a therapist.

Aren't you supposed to listen?"

Anyways...

You know, this is one of the

best hospitals in the country.

No. Well, it was my husband's.

So, yeah, I guess it is.

Got room for one more?

Marnie, this is my brother,

Fredo.

Yeah. Well, oh, my.

So nice to meet you.

I kinda promised him we'd give him

a ride someplace. Is that cool?

Actually, I have one stop

to make first.

Oh, sure, sure.

Any brother of Freddy's

is a friend of mine.

Shotgun!

Hey, does the top

come down on this thing?

Sure.

Yeah.

See, this the kinda car I want.

Except I'll paint mine black,

you know, like a matte black.

Ooh, that's an idea.

Hey, you remember that time

Tre stole that car,

but it turned out to be

a hearse,

and you were so

scared you pissed your pants?
