1. Hi, Mom. And Paul and Patricia.
Copy !req
2. Well, I'm here.
Copy !req
3. It's not exactly the Holiday Inn,
as you can see.
Copy !req
4. Mostly... Mostly we're filling sandbags
and cleaning vehicle filters.
Copy !req
5. In this war, it's important
to keep the mechanisms clean...
Copy !req
6. because of all the sand,
which can be as much of a threat...
Copy !req
7. as any missile that Saddam can send,
Capt. Sommers says.
Copy !req
8. I can't say much, but pretty soon
we're gonna get into the real action...
Copy !req
9. and we're well-prepared, I'll tell you.
Copy !req
10. Guys, can you...? Do you mind?
I'm sending this home to my folks.
Copy !req
11. I'll be done in a minute! Just...
I'm sorry.
Copy !req
12. What else?
Copy !req
13. We're protecting your ass, folks!
Copy !req
14. I love you, America. Thank you!
Copy !req
15. Bailey, come on, I'm just...
Copy !req
16. - You want to say hello to Victor's folks?
- Hi, Mom!
Copy !req
17. Come on, you guys, damn it!
Copy !req
18. Sorry, Mom,
Copy !req
19. Some of these guys are kind of crazy,
They're good soldiers,
Copy !req
20. I'm getting a lot of responsibility here,
Copy !req
21. I think it's been very beneficial, in terms
of personal leadership skills,
Copy !req
22. , and getting a job,
A lot more than had I stayed at home,
Copy !req
23. Well, I've got a lot to do before
lights out, so until next time,
Copy !req
24. , this is Pvt, 1st Class
Victor Kovitch signing off,
Copy !req
25. Hey, buddy,
brought you the latest South Park,
Copy !req
26. Fuck, David.
Copy !req
27. Hey, sleepyhead.
Copy !req
28. You know, I had the weirdest dream.
Copy !req
29. - Really?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
30. This guy comes into my house
at, like, 4 a.m.
Copy !req
31. He climbs into my bed,
but instead of having his way with me...
Copy !req
32. he just passes out!
Copy !req
33. And all night long, he keeps jerking.
Copy !req
34. That is weird.
Copy !req
35. - And he talked in his sleep.
- Yeah, what did he say?
Copy !req
36. It was completely unintelligible,
but angry.
Copy !req
37. - There was even teeth-grinding.
- Well, that explains the headaches.
Copy !req
38. I was thinking that exposure
to formaldehyde gives me a brain tumor.
Copy !req
39. Would you like some caffeine
with that tumor?
Copy !req
40. Okay.
Copy !req
41. - David, I can't.
- Why not?
Copy !req
42. Because last night, I drove Mr. Senopolis'
body to San Jose, then straight back.
Copy !req
43. I barely got four hours' sleep,
and frankly...
Copy !req
44. I'm tired of getting the shitty jobs
you don't want.
Copy !req
45. - I'm half-owner of the business,
- You can't legally do intake without me.
Copy !req
46. You're not a licensed funeral director.
Copy !req
47. - I'm getting my license next month,
- if you pass the test.
Copy !req
48. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Copy !req
49. How am I supposed to study
for that test on four hours' sleep?
Copy !req
50. Coffee and diet pills worked for me.
Copy !req
51. I can't pick her up,
I've got a deacon's meeting,
Copy !req
52. and Rico's got Vanessa's ultrasound.
- Shit,
Copy !req
53. Last time I picked somebody up
at a nursing home...
Copy !req
54. nobody told the roommate
she was dead. I had to.
Copy !req
55. Just be thankful we've got the business.
Copy !req
56. Just thankful I'm not you.
Copy !req
57. What?
Copy !req
58. Oh, it's Mr. Senopolis, sorry.
Copy !req
59. Fuck, I smell like a dead guy!
Copy !req
60. No, you smell fine. Your life stinks,
you complain all the time...
Copy !req
61. and that's really dull.
Copy !req
62. - Didn't realize I was boring you.
- Nate, you need to take a break.
Copy !req
63. Some major stress release that's not me.
It's too much responsibility.
Copy !req
64. I thought you liked being
an undertaker's girlfriend.
Copy !req
65. Is that what I am to you?
Your girlfriend?
Copy !req
66. I like to think of you as my mistress.
Copy !req
67. Well, then, you better start
buying me a lot more shit, mister.
Copy !req
68. God, I love you.
Copy !req
69. Okay.
Copy !req
70. I said it. Let's just move on.
Copy !req
71. Let's go to Two Bunch Palms
this weekend.
Copy !req
72. - What?
- Fuck it, yes.
Copy !req
73. I'm gonna take the weekend off,
and David can bite me.
Copy !req
74. - This weekend?
- Yeah, we'll sit in hot mud...
Copy !req
75. we'll get massages,
we'll eat like pigs, we'll drink a lot.
Copy !req
76. If we leave Friday night,
we can be naked for two whole days.
Copy !req
77. - I got three clients this Saturday.
- Well, postpone, cancel, lie.
Copy !req
78. Come on, we've never taken
a trip together. We need to do this.
Copy !req
79. Two whole days?
Copy !req
80. - What if we drive each other crazy?
- Well, we don't.
Copy !req
81. Hovering.
Copy !req
82. Claire, I've invited a friend of mine
over for dinner tonight.
Copy !req
83. - Okay.
- And I want you to be nice to him.
Copy !req
84. Is this the guy?
Copy !req
85. - The guy that...?
- Yes.
Copy !req
86. Okay.
Copy !req
87. Thanks for your patience, everybody.
I know we're running late.
Copy !req
88. By the way, I spoke to Father Clark
this morning. He's holding up well.
Copy !req
89. He says you folks are the most thorough
search committee...
Copy !req
90. he has ever encountered.
Copy !req
91. David, I understand you're the last one
to meet with him.
Copy !req
92. - This afternoon.
- Good.
Copy !req
93. We've been interviewing
associate priests for three months.
Copy !req
94. It'll be nice to have an open mind.
Copy !req
95. Clark struck me as a player, man of God,
wants to listen, but there's ego there.
Copy !req
96. You didn't want Jack.
Copy !req
97. Connie, you say that so easily,
and you know it's not true.
Copy !req
98. I've never seen you so desperate.
Copy !req
99. Listen, you folks have to represent
the whole congregation.
Copy !req
100. And believe me, if Clark's not right...
Copy !req
101. I'm ready to start from the beginning.
- Let's vote right now.
Copy !req
102. You know him, David. He's been
a visiting rector. You've got his r'esum'e.
Copy !req
103. All the deacons are here. You can vote
now. I'll be happy to leave the room.
Copy !req
104. No, I want to meet
with Father Clark myself...
Copy !req
105. so I can make
the most informed decision.
Copy !req
106. This how it works? You bring in
the new-generation deacon...
Copy !req
107. the new deacon brings in
the radical priest you want?
Copy !req
108. I can assure you there's
no agenda here, Mr. Kriegenthaler.
Copy !req
109. Except yours.
Copy !req
110. Don't worry, Dave. I had a parish
in Ohio where punches got thrown.
Copy !req
111. Steelworkers.
St. Bart's doesn't even come close.
Copy !req
112. Actually, David,
your father was against Jack here.
Copy !req
113. And as I said at the time,
your father was wrong.
Copy !req
114. Roll over,
Copy !req
115. Okay, okay.
Copy !req
116. There you go, there you go.
Copy !req
117. Shit! Fuck, Billy!
Copy !req
118. - Fuck you!
- I've seen pictures on the Internet, but...
Copy !req
119. The rule is, you call before
you come over, okay?
Copy !req
120. Sorry, I was biking down the boardwalk.
I didn't have my cell phone.
Copy !req
121. Good morning, Nate.
Copy !req
122. Bill.
Copy !req
123. I got some great shots of these hookers
on Sunset I want to show you.
Copy !req
124. Real human tragedy shit.
I think they're really good.
Copy !req
125. Well, your mom walked in on us once...
Copy !req
126. so I guess we're even.
Copy !req
127. This chick has seen
the fucking worst life has to offer.
Copy !req
128. - Jesus, Billy, these are incredible.
- And what is that thing on her neck?
Copy !req
129. She's got, like, this big tumor,
and she's still turning tricks.
Copy !req
130. And you just know there is some freak
for whom that is a big turn-on.
Copy !req
131. I love the Bank of America
in the background.
Copy !req
132. - Well, I have to go to work.
- Bring out your dead!
Copy !req
133. They're great.
Copy !req
134. Don't forget,
cancel those appointments on Saturday.
Copy !req
135. See you later.
Copy !req
136. So, what's Saturday?
Copy !req
137. We're going to California Cactus World
out on Rosemead Boulevard.
Copy !req
138. I want to get something really weird
to plant out back.
Copy !req
139. - Yo, Dave!
- In here!
Copy !req
140. I'm sorry, there was an accident
on the 405. Both cars totaled.
Copy !req
141. I should've handed out cards.
Copy !req
142. This is Paul Kovitch.
His brother, Victor, just passed away.
Copy !req
143. - I'm sorry.
- This is my brother, Nate.
Copy !req
144. Paul Kovitch,
you went to Bonaventure High.
Copy !req
145. - Yeah.
- I was there when you pinned that guy...
Copy !req
146. and won the wrestling championship.
You were the man!
Copy !req
147. Me and my friends were jealous
because we knew you were getting laid.
Copy !req
148. - You wrestle?
- No, played baseball, but we always lost.
Copy !req
149. - So, what are you doing now?
- I run Kovitch Trucking up in Camarillo.
Copy !req
150. Why, so you know how expensive
you can be?
Copy !req
151. - No...
- Paul and I were just going over...
Copy !req
152. the options for his brother's funeral.
Copy !req
153. Okay, I run a business too.
Let's just cut right to it.
Copy !req
154. - Of course.
- I buried both my parents...
Copy !req
155. and, no offense,
but I hate you guys. I hate what you do.
Copy !req
156. The whole thing of "let's gather
and look at this plastic...
Copy !req
157. dead version of our loved one."
It's really twisted.
Copy !req
158. I want Victor cremated.
No coffin.
Copy !req
159. Put him in one of those cardboard boxes
you charge 100 bucks for.
Copy !req
160. I'll take him up to where
our mother's buried up in Tehachapi...
Copy !req
161. and let his ashes blow away.
Copy !req
162. I see Victor's a veteran. If you like, we
can research benefits he might be due.
Copy !req
163. No, Vic hated the Army. Me and him
been fighting the Army for seven years.
Copy !req
164. His unit cleaned up a place
called Bunker 73 in the Iraqi desert.
Copy !req
165. Chemicals all over,
Saddam's stuff we blew up.
Copy !req
166. As soon as he came back, he got sick.
Copy !req
167. Lung cancer at the age of 29,
never smoked a day in his life.
Copy !req
168. Still, no one will say the words
"Gulf War Syndrome."
Copy !req
169. He just wasted away
in and out of that hospital.
Copy !req
170. So fuck the Army.
Let them keep their fucking money.
Copy !req
171. I gotta fly up to Idaho Falls
to tell my stepfather.
Copy !req
172. He's got Alzheimer's.
I don't know if he'll hear me or not.
Copy !req
173. You're absolutely sure
you wouldn't like the opportunity...
Copy !req
174. to say goodbye to Victor before...?
- I already said goodbye.
Copy !req
175. Just do it.
Copy !req
176. And as for a receptacle
for his cremains...?
Copy !req
177. A paper sack ought to do just fine.
Copy !req
178. Nine hundred bucks.
Copy !req
179. Well, he obviously doesn't
know about the Poseidon Society...
Copy !req
180. or that's 900 we'd be out of.
Copy !req
181. That guy was the shit
when I was in high school.
Copy !req
182. You know,
I never knew he had a brother.
Copy !req
183. It's time you introduced yourself.
He's at the VA Hospital.
Copy !req
184. First, I just gotta talk to you
about something.
Copy !req
185. It's out of the question. I cannot spare
you. We have three bodies right now.
Copy !req
186. Mr. Jacobsen's going
into the ground tomorrow...
Copy !req
187. and Vic Kovitch
will be toast by the weekend.
Copy !req
188. What if we get another body? Or two?
We cannot afford to turn down business.
Copy !req
189. - No, I'm sorry.
- I don't need your permission.
Copy !req
190. Do you know how long it's been
since I've had two days off?
Copy !req
191. See, here's the difference.
You're willing to live like that, I'm not.
Copy !req
192. I've invited my friend Hiram Gunderson
over to dinner tonight.
Copy !req
193. You're welcome to join us.
Copy !req
194. Wouldn't a restaurant be better?
This is our home.
Copy !req
195. This is my home.
Copy !req
196. Oh, the camping guy. Okay.
Can I bring Brenda?
Copy !req
197. Hiram will be cooking.
Copy !req
198. He spent 17 years
as a top chef in Chicago.
Copy !req
199. The critic of the Sun-Times called him
the "father of the new rustic cuisine."
Copy !req
200. And then, he gave it all up
to become a hairdresser.
Copy !req
201. And he has never been happier!
Copy !req
202. You're multiplying differing variables,
so you have to simplify.
Copy !req
203. Okay, and then finally,
oops, look at that.
Copy !req
204. Same variable, okay?
Four and four gives us what?
Copy !req
205. Eight! And finally, these two binomials...
Copy !req
206. right here, are exactly the same...
Copy !req
207. so we what?
Copy !req
208. Combine!
Copy !req
209. Two X to the third,
Y to the fourth.
Copy !req
210. Okay?
Copy !req
211. Any questions?
Copy !req
212. Claire Fisher.
Copy !req
213. What?
Copy !req
214. Can you explain this formula
to the class?
Copy !req
215. Not really.
Copy !req
216. Maybe if you paid attention
instead of reading.
Copy !req
217. Maybe if you talked about something
that was gonna be useful to me, I would.
Copy !req
218. Oh, algebra is useless?
Copy !req
219. I know a lot of physicists
who'd beg to differ.
Copy !req
220. Well, I don't want to be a physicist.
Copy !req
221. Algebra forces your mind
to solve problems logically.
Copy !req
222. - It's one of the only perfect sciences...
- You think the world runs on logic?
Copy !req
223. - Come on, open your eyes.
- I'll see you after class, Miss Fisher.
Copy !req
224. What are you doing?
Copy !req
225. All right, now let's try another one,
and I'm gonna make this a little tougher.
Copy !req
226. Okay, X to the A power
times Y to the B power.
Copy !req
227. Okay, now we've got two...
Copy !req
228. Of course we have catalogs
for wedding package...
Copy !req
229. but you have to come in and look.
I can't show you over the phone.
Copy !req
230. Website? What website?
We don't have website.
Copy !req
231. Mister, you have to come into my shop
and look at my work.
Copy !req
232. Website.
Copy !req
233. - The day just gets brighter.
- Hush.
Copy !req
234. So who's dead now,
and what do you need?
Copy !req
235. Nobody's dead.
I came to return these vases.
Copy !req
236. You should recycle them,
save a little money.
Copy !req
237. So thoughtful. I am touched.
Copy !req
238. Don't be silly. It's wasteful, that's all.
Copy !req
239. Here.
Copy !req
240. - You still have that sign in the window.
- Yes, you know somebody good?
Copy !req
241. - I do. Me.
- You?
Copy !req
242. I am interested. Let's talk.
Robbie, I going to lunch.
Copy !req
243. I'm not going to lunch with you, Nikolai.
I'm seeing someone.
Copy !req
244. - So what? This is business.
- I hope so.
Copy !req
245. - Because otherwise, I withdraw my offer.
- Tell me, why I should hire you?
Copy !req
246. I've been working with people for
30 years, and I treat them with respect.
Copy !req
247. I respect people too.
Copy !req
248. You're pompous and arrogant
and you're full of yourself.
Copy !req
249. - You act like the customer needs you.
- Of course the customer needs me.
Copy !req
250. - I have what he wants.
- You'll never build a business that way.
Copy !req
251. I'm better with people
and I know about flowers.
Copy !req
252. If you don't think so,
you can fire me.
Copy !req
253. Fire you? How I can fire you?
You don't even work yet.
Copy !req
254. My parish in New Mexico,
I think they were afraid of me.
Copy !req
255. - They recommend you highly.
- They always do after I'm gone.
Copy !req
256. I won't lie to you, David,
I'll push for some change at St. Bart's.
Copy !req
257. This is one of those congregations
that thinks sitting through church...
Copy !req
258. absolves them of moral responsibility
and they can ignore the plight of others.
Copy !req
259. Don't get me wrong,
they're good people.
Copy !req
260. They're just lazy.
Copy !req
261. I don't think that's entirely fair, Clark.
We have a homeless outreach...
Copy !req
262. You know you're the swing vote.
Copy !req
263. I've been a deacon three weeks. I'm still
getting used to how political this is.
Copy !req
264. Religion is politics, David.
Copy !req
265. Jesus was a revolutionary.
Copy !req
266. He threatened those in power,
and they had him assassinated.
Copy !req
267. They'd do the same thing
to him today.
Copy !req
268. I'm not sure how much luck you'll
have getting St. Bart's to stage a coup.
Copy !req
269. The last thing that God
wants from us is complacency.
Copy !req
270. - You should be in the Peace Corps.
- Already done it.
Copy !req
271. Three years in Nicaragua,
fresh out of divinity school.
Copy !req
272. That's where I lost my wife.
Copy !req
273. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
274. The hardest part about my work
is the fact...
Copy !req
275. that most people don't want
a real relationship with God.
Copy !req
276. Sure, they'll pray
to a man nailed to a cross...
Copy !req
277. but they'll ignore the gay kid
who gets strung up...
Copy !req
278. or the black man
who gets dragged behind a car...
Copy !req
279. or someone's mother living in a box.
Copy !req
280. Were you this forthcoming
with the other deacons?
Copy !req
281. Hardly.
Copy !req
282. What did you and Walter Kriegenthaler
talk about?
Copy !req
283. Golf.
Copy !req
284. So why did you decide
to be so honest with me?
Copy !req
285. Because I can tell that right and wrong
actually matter to you.
Copy !req
286. Fuck.
Copy !req
287. This is medieval. We gotta get it fixed
before somebody loses a finger.
Copy !req
288. You never cared until it was your finger.
Copy !req
289. - Rico, a little help?
- Why should I?
Copy !req
290. You know, it's because of you I'm gonna
work double shifts this weekend.
Copy !req
291. That's just David being dramatic.
Copy !req
292. We'd have to get at least two new
bodies for that to be necessary.
Copy !req
293. They come in bigger numbers than that.
Copy !req
294. Just forget it. I know the score.
Copy !req
295. It's never gonna be
Fisher & Sons & Diaz. I know that.
Copy !req
296. - Let's see what we got.
- This one's a cremation.
Copy !req
297. - Nothing for you.
- Oh, fuck, what is that?
Copy !req
298. Shouldn't just burn people
like they're garbage.
Copy !req
299. What the...?
Copy !req
300. Look, it came with fries.
Copy !req
301. Look at this.
Copy !req
302. Doesn't even look like the same guy,
does it?
Copy !req
303. This says he applied to be buried
at the National Cemetery.
Copy !req
304. He signed requests
for a flag fold, military escort.
Copy !req
305. Oh, man.
Copy !req
306. Then you can't burn him.
Copy !req
307. I can make him look like that again.
Copy !req
308. Well, almost.
Copy !req
309. You could ace algebra, Claire,
and we both know it.
Copy !req
310. "Power rests on the kind
of knowledge one holds."
Copy !req
311. What's the use of knowing
something useless?
Copy !req
312. - Don't quote Castaneda at me.
- Why not? You quote Bob Dylan at me.
Copy !req
313. - You need algebra for college.
- You're assuming I'm going to college.
Copy !req
314. You're taking the PSAT tomorrow.
That means you're thinking about it.
Copy !req
315. Is that the only option? Go to college,
get a job, be a good consumer...
Copy !req
316. until you drop dead of exhaustion.
I don't want that!
Copy !req
317. So, what do you want?
Copy !req
318. I just want something to matter.
Copy !req
319. Maybe I should wander around the desert
and eat peyote and see God.
Copy !req
320. Yeah, be a homeless drug addict.
Copy !req
321. You'd get bored with that pretty fast.
Copy !req
322. Hey, have you heard
of the Sierra Crossroads program?
Copy !req
323. What's that, like,
bungee jumping for Jesus?
Copy !req
324. No, no, it's not affiliated with any
religion. It's actually a great program.
Copy !req
325. I spent a couple of years there
as an instructor.
Copy !req
326. - I think you might really like it.
- Why?
Copy !req
327. Because it would get you out of yourself,
get you out of your head.
Copy !req
328. Now, I'll warn you,
it's hard but exhilarating.
Copy !req
329. It might give you the challenge
you're looking for.
Copy !req
330. There's an expedition over spring break.
Copy !req
331. I could pull some strings,
see if I could get you in.
Copy !req
332. - Why do you care what happens to me?
- Because I like you.
Copy !req
333. And I want to see good things
happen for you, and I know they can.
Copy !req
334. We had to dig his service records
out of St. Louis.
Copy !req
335. Then there's the question of whether
his cancer was service related.
Copy !req
336. That means finding a doctor
who thinks it was.
Copy !req
337. It took me four months
to get all the approvals...
Copy !req
338. but it means a burial allowance
of up to 1500 from the VA.
Copy !req
339. Might as well take that stuff too.
I packed it up for him.
Copy !req
340. That's too bad nobody
told his brother what he wanted.
Copy !req
341. I did.
Copy !req
342. Oh, yeah. I gave Paul the forms.
I found them later in the trash.
Copy !req
343. It's mostly somebody else's writing
on the forms.
Copy !req
344. It doesn't match Victor's signature at all.
Copy !req
345. I filled them out for him.
Copy !req
346. He tried to do it himself,
but those boxes are pretty small...
Copy !req
347. and he shook a lot.
Copy !req
348. Gulf War Victory Parade?
Copy !req
349. Victor said marching in it
was the proudest moment of his life.
Copy !req
350. Why would he keep it and watch it
over and over if he hated the Army?
Copy !req
351. - Did Paul visit him much?
- Yeah, three or four times a week.
Copy !req
352. He was really good about it.
Copy !req
353. - So how come he...?
- He couldn't.
Copy !req
354. Paul would say,
"The fucking Army stole your life, Vic."
Copy !req
355. And Vic would keep his mouth shut.
Copy !req
356. I can tell you this.
Copy !req
357. Victor wanted to believe that what
he did in the Gulf meant something...
Copy !req
358. that his life was not a waste.
Copy !req
359. I only counsel. I'm not supposed
to interfere with what the family wants.
Copy !req
360. So you taped his medals to him, fished
his files out and passed them to me.
Copy !req
361. Well, you can always blow it off.
Copy !req
362. I mean, you didn't
even know the guy, right?
Copy !req
363. What are you doing?
Copy !req
364. There was a form that said
he's getting a military funeral.
Copy !req
365. - Who authorized this? Nate?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
366. How many times have I told you...
Copy !req
367. when Nate gives you instructions,
check with me?
Copy !req
368. Turn him off.
Copy !req
369. I'll drive him
to the crematorium right now.
Copy !req
370. Do I have to do it myself?
Copy !req
371. Fucking Nate. Paul Kovitch
is who our contract is with...
Copy !req
372. and if he finds out about this,
he will either sue us or break our legs.
Copy !req
373. - Tomatoes right there.
- Okay.
Copy !req
374. - Look who's here.
- Hello, Mrs. Fisher.
Copy !req
375. Hello, dear.
Copy !req
376. - Hello, I'm Brenda.
- Hiram Gunderson.
Copy !req
377. I understand you like to camp.
Copy !req
378. Why, yes, I do.
Copy !req
379. I wish I could tell you where Nate is,
but I have no idea.
Copy !req
380. It's okay. I can exist without him.
Copy !req
381. - Toasted sesame seeds in the salad?
- Yes, that would be lovely.
Copy !req
382. There's my little girl.
Claire, honey, this is Hiram Gunderson.
Copy !req
383. Pleasure to meet you, Claire.
Copy !req
384. Hi.
Copy !req
385. This is delicious, Mrs. Fisher.
Copy !req
386. Hiram is a chef.
Copy !req
387. I can't get enough of his cock!
Copy !req
388. Mom, I need $ 1200 so I can go
to Sierra Crossroads over spring break.
Copy !req
389. And I need you to sign this form,
like, in case I die or something.
Copy !req
390. Is this a school trip?
Copy !req
391. No, you go to the mountains
and confront fear...
Copy !req
392. and get in touch
with your most basic self.
Copy !req
393. It looks good on your college application.
Copy !req
394. Sorry I'm late. There was an
accident on the Long Beach Freeway.
Copy !req
395. You always seem to hit
the bad traffic.
Copy !req
396. - Hi, I'm Nate.
- Hiram, I've heard a lot about you.
Copy !req
397. Well, don't believe a word of it.
Copy !req
398. Hey, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
399. Don't be. I'm having fun.
Copy !req
400. - So, what did I miss?
- I want to go to Sierra Crossroads.
Copy !req
401. We'll talk about it later, Claire.
Copy !req
402. Mom, you should let her go.
Crossroads is great.
Copy !req
403. - You went?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
404. We went kayaking down the Colorado
River the summer I was, what, 17?
Copy !req
405. - I don't think you were even born yet.
- I don't remember this.
Copy !req
406. That's because I lied to you and Dad.
Copy !req
407. Dad would never let me go, so I told you
I was going to Sacramento...
Copy !req
408. to witness state government in action.
Copy !req
409. Oh, by the way, everyone, I got a job.
Copy !req
410. - Cool.
- I'll be working at Nikolai's flower shop.
Copy !req
411. I start tomorrow.
Copy !req
412. It's just part-time.
Copy !req
413. - You didn't tell me about that.
- Didn't I?
Copy !req
414. Need some help?
Copy !req
415. Incidentally, I dropped Victor Kovitch off
at the Oak Valley Crematory.
Copy !req
416. I need you to pick him up tomorrow.
Copy !req
417. Oh, fuck, David, he wanted
a military funeral. He filled out the forms.
Copy !req
418. Is he paying our bill?
Copy !req
419. You were with his brother. It was clear
he did not want the body embalmed.
Copy !req
420. He could sue us,
and we wouldn't have a case.
Copy !req
421. Okay, you know what?
Copy !req
422. When you talk to me like this,
it makes me want to not listen to you.
Copy !req
423. You and I could lose everything.
Mom could lose her home.
Copy !req
424. Vic is eligible for a bigger allowance
from the VA than we thought.
Copy !req
425. Really?
Copy !req
426. - I'm leaving.
- I'll walk you down.
Copy !req
427. - Bye, David.
- Bye.
Copy !req
428. Why don't you come over,
spend the night?
Copy !req
429. I've gotta be in Pasadena tomorrow.
It would add an extra hour to my trip.
Copy !req
430. Okay.
Copy !req
431. Give me five minutes. I'll follow you.
Copy !req
432. - Tonight wasn't so bad, was it?
- I suppose not.
Copy !req
433. I don't know why I was so nervous.
Copy !req
434. I mean, for heaven's sake,
I gave birth to those people.
Copy !req
435. You know what occurred to me tonight
that's really strange?
Copy !req
436. I wish you'd known my husband.
Copy !req
437. I think the two of you
would've liked each other.
Copy !req
438. Oh, Ruth.
Copy !req
439. Who would get me a gift basket?
Copy !req
440. It's probably some Hollywood bigwig
that secretly wants to sleep with you.
Copy !req
441. It's from my brother,
and it is addressed to both of us.
Copy !req
442. "Sorry about this morning.
Have fun at Cactus World."
Copy !req
443. Who knows.
Copy !req
444. This is nice. We can take it
with us this weekend.
Copy !req
445. I cannot wait to get out of here. I'm in
dire need of some serious relaxation.
Copy !req
446. - Oh, fabulous.
- Smoked oysters.
Copy !req
447. Really, is there any caviar?
Copy !req
448. No, but there are condoms.
Copy !req
449. - And, okay, edible underpants.
- That's a little scary.
Copy !req
450. - I'd say this whole thing's a little scary.
- No, it just means he likes you.
Copy !req
451. Believe me, there are guys Billy
didn't like. It's much better this way.
Copy !req
452. I've been meaning to ask you.
Copy !req
453. What's up with those matching tattoos
you and he have?
Copy !req
454. We were in Vegas,
we were very drunk, and...
Copy !req
455. Oh, dear.
Copy !req
456. These things always struck me
as kind of ridiculous.
Copy !req
457. Would you just stop that?
Copy !req
458. What does he think we're gonna do
with this? This is, like, hostile.
Copy !req
459. Look, Billy's bipolar. He's medicated.
Copy !req
460. His sense of what's appropriate
can be a little off at times.
Copy !req
461. Look, you have no idea
what he's been through.
Copy !req
462. Don't judge him, please.
Copy !req
463. All right.
Copy !req
464. All right.
Copy !req
465. Thank you.
Copy !req
466. You're never gonna get out of this one,
Copy !req
467. I was nowhere near the latrine, sir,
I promise,
Copy !req
468. - Give it up, private, Your ass is busted,
- Yeah, you're in big trouble,
Copy !req
469. But my father's
on the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
Copy !req
470. Well, maybe we can't court-martial you,
but there is something else we can do,
Copy !req
471. Yeah, come on, private, yeah,
Copy !req
472. You love that, don't you?
Copy !req
473. - Hello?
- David, Walter Kriegenthaler.
Copy !req
474. - Did you meet with Father Clark?
- Yes, today.
Copy !req
475. We'd like to meet at 9:30 tomorrow
and vote,
Copy !req
476. - Can you make it?
- Absolutely.
Copy !req
477. Let me ask you a question, David.
Copy !req
478. Do you think Clark is gay?
Copy !req
479. I don't think so. He mentioned something
about having a deceased wife.
Copy !req
480. I mean, I don't care if he is, I just don't
want him to push that agenda,
Copy !req
481. You know, marriage, that whole thing,
Copy !req
482. I have a cousin in D.C.
Whose church split because of that.
Copy !req
483. Literally half the congregation left.
Copy !req
484. I don't want that to happen to St, Bart's,
I've been going there for 40 years,
Copy !req
485. Well, it's late, I'll see you
tomorrow morning, Good night,
Copy !req
486. Okay, I got Victor, but I called
the National Cemetery from the car...
Copy !req
487. and you know what?
They can bury an urn.
Copy !req
488. They call it "inurnment."
We can do it today at 3.
Copy !req
489. Why are you so determined
to sabotage our business?
Copy !req
490. I don't think Paul knew
how his brother really felt.
Copy !req
491. - Nate, why do you even care?
- Because it's what Victor wanted.
Copy !req
492. And he deserves it.
He got a raw fucking deal.
Copy !req
493. Victor Kovitch did not hate the Army.
Watch these tapes he made in the Gulf.
Copy !req
494. Yes, sir, fuck me, sergeant,
Copy !req
495. - Fuck, yeah, Give it to me,
- Come on, private,
Copy !req
496. Oh, come on!
Come on, that was funny!
Copy !req
497. I have someplace I have to be.
Copy !req
498. Dave, Dave, it's okay!
I watch porn too!
Copy !req
499. So you guys taking the PSAT
this afternoon too?
Copy !req
500. Yeah.
Copy !req
501. So, what happens to you guys?
Copy !req
502. I go to UC Irvine
and Northwestern Law...
Copy !req
503. meet a totally great guy,
he's a triathlete...
Copy !req
504. we get married
and I practice law for eight years...
Copy !req
505. and we get really rich,
and then I have two great kids.
Copy !req
506. - So you're, like, unbelievably happy?
- Kind of.
Copy !req
507. I get a master's in French
and then live in Paris for 6 months...
Copy !req
508. and hate it, so I come back,
become a TV development executive...
Copy !req
509. and I work out all the time.
Copy !req
510. I'm fairly miserable and have
a slight substance-abuse problem.
Copy !req
511. - But you look great.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
512. I start an interior-lighting design firm
with my college roommate...
Copy !req
513. and it totally takes off...
Copy !req
514. and then I die of ovarian cancer
before I'm 30.
Copy !req
515. - Oh, that sucks.
- Tell me about it.
Copy !req
516. Well, good luck.
Copy !req
517. What a freak.
Copy !req
518. - Father Jack?
- David. Come in, sit.
Copy !req
519. And call me "Jack." We're beyond that.
Copy !req
520. - Meeting over already?
- Yes.
Copy !req
521. - Damn.
- We all admire Clark's energy...
Copy !req
522. but there is some concern
that he may end up being divisive.
Copy !req
523. As you said yourself, if we have
to start over from the beginning...
Copy !req
524. And find some conservative lap dog,
who won't challenge anybody?
Copy !req
525. Yeah, that's what we need here.
Copy !req
526. Scotch?
Copy !req
527. No, thank you.
Copy !req
528. - Clark thought he came on too strong.
- I liked him, Jack.
Copy !req
529. The world would be better
if there were more like him.
Copy !req
530. I just don't think that he's a good fit
for St. Bart's.
Copy !req
531. Do you really think that Father Clark
would be happy here?
Copy !req
532. Why should he be happy?
How happy are you?
Copy !req
533. You're right, I'm not happy.
Copy !req
534. My life is very complicated
and confusing.
Copy !req
535. I've experienced a lot of loss
recently, my father and my...
Copy !req
536. And the thing that helps me deal with it
is having a place...
Copy !req
537. that hasn't changed
like everything else in my life.
Copy !req
538. There's a reason they call it
a sanctuary.
Copy !req
539. I think the majority of our congregation
feels the same way...
Copy !req
540. and my responsibility
is to them, not you.
Copy !req
541. Well, I've got a business to run.
Copy !req
542. Yo.
Copy !req
543. Speaking.
Copy !req
544. Yes.
Copy !req
545. What can I do for you, Mr. Gilardi?
Copy !req
546. - Here, this is good choice here.
- I don't like yellow.
Copy !req
547. The bridesmaids' dresses are lilac.
Copy !req
548. If the flowers are yellow,
it's gonna look like an Easter egg hunt.
Copy !req
549. How about white tulips? Very simple.
Copy !req
550. Just bunched together with a ribbon.
Copy !req
551. I was kind of thinking I would be
the only one with white flowers.
Copy !req
552. Or you could be the only one holding
a gorgeous bouquet of color...
Copy !req
553. against your white dress.
- People do that?
Copy !req
554. It's your day.
You can do whatever you want.
Copy !req
555. Don't you think that would be pretty?
Copy !req
556. - I love the tulips thing.
- Tulips are one of my favorite flowers.
Copy !req
557. So graceful and classic,
like little ballerinas.
Copy !req
558. Only reason I even met Victor was I
jumped off a humvee and broke my feet.
Copy !req
559. Here I am in the hospital with this guy
who's dying, listening to me complain.
Copy !req
560. Playing cards, giving me his dessert.
Copy !req
561. I wish he didn't die. It sucks.
Copy !req
562. Thank you.
Copy !req
563. Have you heard from Paul yet?
Copy !req
564. Not since I told him his brother
was ready to be picked up.
Copy !req
565. Well, without his consent in writing,
I cannot allow this funeral to take place.
Copy !req
566. Fine.
Copy !req
567. At least we'll know
we made an effort.
Copy !req
568. When we were in the Gulf...
Copy !req
569. Victor used to make these videotapes
to send home to his family.
Copy !req
570. We were always giving him a hard time...
Copy !req
571. messing him up.
He was a real good sport.
Copy !req
572. The perpetual optimist.
Copy !req
573. - So my brother ready?
- Yes, he's right in here.
Copy !req
574. - What is this?
- Victor's friends wanted to say goodbye.
Copy !req
575. The hospital referred them.
It's no problem for us.
Copy !req
576. And no charge to you.
Copy !req
577. - Excuse me, are you his brother?
- Yes, I'm Paul.
Copy !req
578. This man here, I don't know
if you people know it...
Copy !req
579. was like a lion for Victor.
Copy !req
580. He made federal waves
over Victor's disability case.
Copy !req
581. I found a couple pictures of us
playing baseball.
Copy !req
582. Vic was a lousy batter
but a pretty good infielder.
Copy !req
583. He's grinning like such a fool in these.
Copy !req
584. I thought you might like them.
Copy !req
585. - Is that you?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
586. - You sick?
- No.
Copy !req
587. Never got sick. I don't know why.
Copy !req
588. A lot of guys I knew over there did.
Copy !req
589. Thanks.
Copy !req
590. Thank you for letting Victor
have his military burial.
Copy !req
591. Even though I know
you were against it.
Copy !req
592. I'm sure this means a lot to him.
Copy !req
593. What the fuck is this military burial shit?
Copy !req
594. It's an option that can
easily be canceled at no charge to you.
Copy !req
595. Vic didn't want a military funeral.
You think I'm lying?
Copy !req
596. I think he was afraid to tell you
what he wanted.
Copy !req
597. He filled out those forms,
he kept the videos.
Copy !req
598. They filled out those forms.
This is all fucking Army PR.
Copy !req
599. - I threw those forms in the trash.
- I'll call the service off.
Copy !req
600. He kept Saudi Arabian candy
for 10 years.
Copy !req
601. - You just want to jack up your price.
- No, it's paid for.
Copy !req
602. I want your brother to have
the funeral he wanted for himself...
Copy !req
603. because that's his right.
Copy !req
604. Victor wanted to believe he died for
something. You wanna take that away?
Copy !req
605. Jesus.
Copy !req
606. He's the only family I had left.
Copy !req
607. And he can't even tell me
what he wants when he's dead?
Copy !req
608. He thought
I would've talked him out of this.
Copy !req
609. And he's right, I would've.
Copy !req
610. Why don't you sit with his friends.
Copy !req
611. Glad to have you here, man.
Copy !req
612. - Where is Ruth?
- She's in the back.
Copy !req
613. Crying.
Copy !req
614. What is wrong?
Copy !req
615. It's the smell of the flowers.
Copy !req
616. - You'll get used to it.
- I am used to it!
Copy !req
617. Today, I helped people choose flowers
for weddings...
Copy !req
618. for anniversaries, for new babies.
Copy !req
619. I can't remember being surrounded
by so much happiness.
Copy !req
620. I'm used to the smell of flowers meaning
something completely different.
Copy !req
621. I'm used to people crying
and being exhausted.
Copy !req
622. People being shattered!
Copy !req
623. Do not worry. We get funerals too.
Copy !req
624. I'm so happy. I can't wait
to come back tomorrow.
Copy !req
625. You're not going to be like this
every day, though, right?
Copy !req
626. This flag is presented on behalf
of a grateful nation as a token...
Copy !req
627. of our appreciation for honorable
and faithful services...
Copy !req
628. rendered by your loved one.
Copy !req
629. Give it to one of his friends.
Copy !req
630. I love you, David.
Copy !req
631. I always will.
Copy !req
632. I could get hit by a bus on the way
to the desert tonight.
Copy !req
633. Just wanted to make sure
you knew that.
Copy !req
634. I love you too.
Copy !req
635. - You did the right thing today.
- I know. Feels kind of good, doesn't it?
Copy !req
636. - Hello.
- She can't go.
Copy !req
637. Why not?
Copy !req
638. She has to help me pick prints.
Copy !req
639. - Does she have to do it tonight?
- Yes, she does.
Copy !req
640. Billy's got a show coming up
at a gallery in Westwood.
Copy !req
641. Sometimes she gives me her eyes
because sometimes I go blind.
Copy !req
642. Forty-six hours I've been looking
at these pictures...
Copy !req
643. and sometimes I see amazing things...
Copy !req
644. and sometimes I just see shapes,
and that's when I go blind.
Copy !req
645. Because what if I lost the ability
to tell the difference?
Copy !req
646. For real.
Copy !req
647. - For good.
- You won't.
Copy !req
648. You say that and give me your eyes.
Copy !req
649. But what if one day,
I can't give them back to you?
Copy !req
650. Well, that won't happen.
We won't let that happen.
Copy !req
651. God, this is crap!
Copy !req
652. This is pretentious, derivative crap!
Copy !req
653. Well, then that's one less
you have to consider. Right?
Copy !req
654. Right.
Copy !req
655. Billy, I'm gonna talk to Nate
on the porch, okay?
Copy !req
656. All right. Then he's gonna go away.
Copy !req
657. We'll be right outside.
Copy !req
658. Pick out five you like...
Copy !req
659. and show me when I come back.
Copy !req
660. - Only five?
