We can grab dinner at the Lofton Savoy.
They've got that Friday night special.
-What do you think?
-Look, Dad,
I can't work for you next summer.
-Why not?
-Well,
there's this high school writer's
program at Penn, I got accepted.
Oh.
Yeah, you know, they're covering
everything. It's like a scholarship.
Wow. I mean, they must be pretty
thrilled with your writing.
What about pre-season football?
-No.
-What do you mean, "No"?
You can't miss that.
I guess I will.
Look, I'll play next year,
but I'm going to this program.
All right, let me tell you something.
There is no way Coach is gonna go for that.
I talked to Coach T. He's cool with it.
-So is Mom.
-You know, I don't care
who's cool with it.
I'm not cool with it.
I'm going.
It's my decision.
It's funny.
Just when you think you got life
figured out, the game changes.
Well, I guess that's what makes
the game interesting.
You know, all my life,
all I wanted was you to be proud of me.
Son,
and I always have been.
Well, you...
home for Thanksgiving?
I don't think I can do that to your mom.
I can't just show up unannounced
at Thanksgiving dinner. Not a good idea.
Hey.
Ben's not here.
I'm not here to see Ben.
Do you have a minute?
I've got lots to do, Ava,
running this business.
It's not glamorous, as you can see.
I guess it's not even sexy,
Certainly it can't
top skinny-dipping at the quarry.
Though I might have waited till August.
But that's just me.
Please stop.
It was one dumb drunk night.
Nothing really happened.
I've already heard all this from Ben.
So what can I do for you?
I guess I just... I want to leave town
this time with a clean slate.
Ben was a gentleman.
I truly believe he had no intention
of having an affair.
We just... We got caught up in the past.
He loves you, Lorrie.
After living with someone for 20 years,
you pick up on little things like that.
when you brought me flowers.
Thank you.
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
Do you love him?
I loved them all,
desperately.
I'm sorry.
Lor, this a good size?
Yeah, Dad. Keep chopping.
Are those the rolls?
Yeah. I got a little creative.
Oh. Good.
What about the sweet potatoes?
Oh, my mom's bringing
the sweet potatoes.
-With marshmallows.
-Oh, boy.
Grams.
Different strokes for different folks.
Monet, your skirt reminds me of Lorrie.
-Me?
-You had one just like that, honey.
I did not!
Why does everyone keep saying that?
No, she didn't. Her sister did.
We got it for Marion
on that trip to Mexico.
I told you.
Dab a little butter on the pan,
so they don't stick.
But you used to steal it
from her all the time.
I did what?
You were so jealous of
that ugly leopard skirt
that you would go into
And then Marion would pitch a fit.
Oh, my God!
Ben said that, and I didn't remember.
This isn't right.
He should be here, Mom.
Hi.
Hi. You scared me.
-Sorry.
-Yeah. Well, listen.
I came here to ask you to come to
Thanksgiving dinner.
I know it's last minute, but it would
mean a lot to Jesse if you would come.
And you?
I can handle it.
Look, Lorrie, I don't want to
-No. I'm okay.
-No, no. Really, really.
I was gonna head down
to the Lofton Savoy
for their Thanksgiving special.
$5.95, all you can eat.
I mean, if you can eat it.
Just come to dinner.
You know, I could bring dessert.
I just made a pie.
-Why?
-Something to do,
an homage to Thanksgiving.
You want to check it out?
Otherwise Mom is gonna start
telling Monet all of our family secrets.
That's right. Your mom likes a few
nips before dinner.
And that would be one
of the family secrets.
Come on. Just a sec.
For a... Just for a second.
This is my humble abode.
You're living high on the hog.
Actually, I got a pretty good deal,
saving the company some cash.
Well, now, that's actually
kind of impressive.
What are the brown things?
I'm not sure.
You want some coffee?
No. Thank you.
Okay, I'll...
You know, I was thinking,
when I was making up my pie last night,
when we first met, I was helping my dad
sell fruit out of the back of a truck,
and your mom was shopping for peaches.
You had been running through the sprays.
Your hair was all wet.
And when Pop wasn't looking,
I tossed you a peach.
I was almost seven.
Yeah. We go back a long way, Lor.
Ben, I have a confession.
I was wrong about the leopard skirt.
It was my sister's.
But I guess I used to steal it and
wear it for some inexplicable reason.
I know.
Well, you don't have
to be so smug about it.
Look, I have no right to ask you this.
-Then please don't.
-No, but I need to.
I've got a lump in my gut
that just won't stop and...
Lorrie, 20 years ago,
I took the right road.
I took the right road
when I married you.
And I know that with all my heart.
I'm so sorry for the way
I hurt you. I am.
I'm asking you to trust me again,
please.
God, Lorrie, I love you so damn much.
Damn it, Ben.
Just come to dinner.
Hey, is Dad coming?
He's not coming.
He's here.
Happy Thanksgiving, Son.
Hey. Check it out.
I brought you a really bad pumpkin pie.
Way to go, man.
Here.
No. You brought it, you bring it in.
Come on.
Try one of those little brown things.
Hey. Best turkey I ever tasted.
Well, I hope you have room for some pie.
I can always make room for pie.
I'll take your plate, Mom.
Well, we have apple, pecan,
and a very special pumpkin pie,
which Ben made himself.
Wow, Ben. I didn't know you could bake.
to try my damn pie?
I will.
There. A brave man. Report back, sir.
That's not fair! Henry likes everything
he puts in his mouth!
Now, that is the worst pumpkin pie
I've ever tasted.
Oh, Ben! That's a first!
Congratulations!
You want some coffee?
