here that we've been together all night

and I haven't yet asked you

what you...

- Oh, yeah.

- What you're up to these days?

Charlotte's between things

at the moment.

- Yeah. I am.

- Okay.

I mean, right now

my main job is mom.

Ah, most important job of all. I know

exactly what you're talking about.

Well, thank you Alex.

Thank you.

What do you...

What do you mean by that?

Oh. I just...

No, I just mean, like...

You know, I very much respect the mom job

because I've been at home with RJ and...

- Oh, really?

- -Um...

Yeah. I mean, I meant it as a compliment

to, you know, all the moms out there.

Yes, yes.

It's beautiful that you're making those

sacrifices so that Emily can pursue her career.

- Yeah.

- Oh, thanks.

But you need to find ways to nurture

your soul at the same time.

Oh.

And how do you do that, babe?

I have my hobbies.

Charlotte's working part time

as a masseuse.

Oh.

- Well, I'm dabbling.

- Yeah.

That's cool. -But, you know what?

She's actually...

She's more than that.

Um, she's a fabulous actress.

- Really?

- Now, that is cool.

That's so nuts.

I swear to God, right when I

walked in here that's exactly...

Like I looked at you

and I thought,

"She's so beautiful, she must be an

actress or a model or something. "

Oh, thank you. You did?

And I was right!

I mean I haven't done it

in a long time.

- That's crazy.

- -Thank you.

It's hard because her French agent

is not here, so it's a little bit...

It is hard.

- We've never met a real actress before.

- We don't...

- Is there...

- You've never met an actor before?

- No!

- No. I don't think so.

I think this is our... Yes, it's...

It's our first...

Is there anything that we might be

able to see you in maybe? -Yes! Yeah!

Um... No, we don't have any...

You do. -I see... I think

somebody might be giving it away.

- We're movie buffs.

- Yeah. We watch...

We've probably seen it, so...

I'm grabbing it.

- Yes!

- Yay.

See, this is truly

exciting for us. So...

Really, thank you.

I mean, I hope you're not

gonna be disappointed.

Well, I don't think

that's possible. -No.

What are you talking about?

This is great stuff!

Fasten your seat belts.

We're really proud of

Charlotte's work in this one.

So I think if we just begin...

Yeah? -... By opening your shirt.

Do you mind?

- No. I don't.

- With me, right?

- It's all very simple, right?

- Mm-hmm.

- We just unbutton your shirt, right?

- Yeah.

You could do it anywhere.

Really. -Okay.

You could do it in a restaurant,

at home, right? -Yeah.

Okay, and if you wanna just bring

your breasts out for me, right?

And if you wanna start by massaging

in some circular motions. -Yeah?

You wanna take your flanges or breast shields and

you just wanna place them right on your nipples.

Get just the perfect

latch there, right?

- Then you'll turn your machine on...

- Yeah.

And it will just start

sucking, right?

You wanna really...

See, if you don't feel...

Well. You get the picture.

But I am proud to say that this DVD was

included with all the breast pumps

that this company sold

from 2005 to 2008.

That was a great plain breast pump.

You guys keep it.

- Oh, thanks.

- -It's a gift. Keep it.

So we'll take it home with us?

Yeah. It's a gift.

- Watch it at your own leisure.

- -Thanks.

It was awesome.

Oh, please. Thank you.

You looked very beautiful in it.

I mean, it's...

I tried to stay natural.

Huh.

It... It was very natural.

Wow. Well...

Thank you, Alex.

I really appreciate that.

You know what? I've got the perfect

thing for this moment, right now.

Sweetie, would you get them

some more red wine?

- I'm gonna get something from upstairs.

- Okay. Yeah.

You guys, just chill. Sweetie?

I'm gonna get some wine.

We have no more wine.

- Okay, that sounds like a great idea.

- Okay.

What?

Honey.

This is California. Maybe this

is what dinner parties are like.

How am I supposed to know?

I mean, up until then

it was fine.

- Like they were great, right?

- What was great?

Kurt was playing music... -They were

great or her breasts were great?

Oh, please.

- I love your b*obs.

- Oh, stop.

- I love your b*obs very much.

- Stop.

Twelve months of breast feeding a child

has completely decimated my breasts.

I worship them. I worship them like they're

two little Jesuses on your chest...

- Hey!

- -Hey.

I just checked on the boys.

They're just so cute.

Oh, great.

They look like little brothers.

I mean, I'm so happy to know

that Max has a new buddy.

You guys smoke pot, right?

- No.

- Yeah.

Whoa!

Holy... Holy cow!

- Wow!

- -Whoa!

See, I don't know if he knows

how to do it, the thing we...

Are you gonna give it a shot?

Oh, honey.

[all cheering.

You did it!

Come here.

Can't see sh*t, man.

Here take my hand.

- You're all right?

- -Yeah.

- Hit your head?

- -No.

Okay, come here.

All right.

- Whoa.

- This is what I wanted to show you.

Is this like your

office or something?

I guess

you could say that. Here.

- Oh, wow!

- All this...

This is, uh,

how I keep my sanity.

Painting first entered my life when

I was around RJ and Max's age.

What started out as dipping my

fingers in the tips of the, uh,

acrylics blossomed

into all this.

My refuge. It's how I can

truly express myself. -Huh.

Is that...

Is that what I think it is?

Very perceptive of you.

- That's...

- You can say it.

- A butt hole?

- -Yeah.

This series is called Portals.

Each of them painted from life.

I was lucky enough to have some of my

best friends donate the time as models.

Even Charlotte's

up here somewhere.

Fifty bucks if you can guess

which one's mine.

Butt hole?

Oh, well.

That one.

That's amazing.

Really? Is that...

That's... Huh. That's yours?

- That's me.

- Oh, great.

- That's me.

- That's great.

Do you paint?

- Yeah. No.

- -Hmm.

I always wanted to, though, because

I always felt like, you know...

I always felt like I could.

Yeah.

Um, like I feel like

if I did it,

it would be, um, really...

Great.

- No question.

- Yeah.

- Do you think...

- I think there's never...

- Never an excuse not to try this.

- Yeah?

'Cause these are amazing.

I think you could do it. And if you ever

want, you can borrow some of my acrylics.

Really? -I got everything here.

You can come paint with me.

I can come here

and paint with you?

Bring RJ over, let him play upstairs,

we could sit out here and paint.

You know what,

I'm gonna start painting.

I think I'm gonna

start painting.

- You are painting. You are painting.

- I'm gonna...

I'm gonna be a painter.

You are a painter.

You're great.

I feel like I just, like,

made a decision.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- That's so cool.

- Yeah.

Oh, my God,

this house is just amazing!

I mean, I'm...

I'm lost already.

You'll get used to it.

- This is my bedroom.

- Okay.

Wow!

Whoa!

Oh, my God!

These cookies are

so incredible right now.

Mmm. Oh, yeah.

I love these cookies.
