1. I'd like to think that fateCopy !req
2. had a hand in what happened
that summer.Copy !req
3. That it was the pants' destiny
to find us.Copy !req
4. Where they came from
and why they chose us,Copy !req
5. well, that will always
be a mystery.Copy !req
6. But perhaps that was part
of their miracle,Copy !req
7. that they sensed in that moment
how much we needed them,Copy !req
8. how much we needed some little
bit of faith to hold on to,Copy !req
9. when it seemed like
everything we believed inCopy !req
10. was about to slip away.Copy !req
11. But wait a minute,
I'm getting ahead of myself.Copy !req
12. So that makes it...
Beautiful dress!Copy !req
13. We'd been a foursome for
as long as I could remember.Copy !req
14. Where are we going?Copy !req
15. In fact, we were a foursome
before we were born.Copy !req
16. And seven.Copy !req
17. Anyone feel any kicking?Copy !req
18. Our mothers met
at a prenatal aerobics class.Copy !req
19. They really didn't have
anything in common...Copy !req
20. except their due dates.Copy !req
21. One, and relax.Copy !req
22. Good work.Copy !req
23. The first one out of the gate
was Bridget.Copy !req
24. Uh-oh...Copy !req
25. Ladies, let's
keep it together.Copy !req
26. The rest of us followed
within the week.Copy !req
27. Bridget liked to take charge.Copy !req
28. Way to go, Lena!Copy !req
29. I'll handle this.Copy !req
30. And you know what?Copy !req
31. Sometimes that worked
in our favor.Copy !req
32. Ah! No!Copy !req
33. Oh, my God.Copy !req
34. Ah! Help!Copy !req
35. And that's how it always was
with us:Copy !req
36. give and take.Copy !req
37. But mostly give.Copy !req
38. Lena, I don't think
he's coming back this time.Copy !req
39. LENA
It's gonna be okay, Carmen.Copy !req
40. I'll come over
first thing tomorrow.Copy !req
41. And Tibby and Bridget, too.Copy !req
42. Just stay on the phone with me
until you fall asleep.Copy !req
43. What Were They Thinking?
take seven.Copy !req
44. We were there for each other,Copy !req
45. to understand the things that
no one else in the world could.Copy !req
46. What were they thinking?Copy !req
47. Having another baby
at their age!Copy !req
48. And what was I,
just some experimentCopy !req
49. from their hippie days
and now it's timeCopy !req
50. to start their real family?Copy !req
51. Go ahead.Copy !req
52. They're out of their minds.Copy !req
53. It sucks.Copy !req
54. Totally.Copy !req
55. Cut! Lena, don't you realize
this is a tragedy?Copy !req
56. Can't you give me
a bit more enthusiasm?Copy !req
57. There were some things
we would never make sense of.Copy !req
58. Grief is never
an easy burden to bear.Copy !req
59. And we were there
for those, too.Copy !req
60. And as we mourn the lossCopy !req
61. of this beloved wife,
mother and friend,Copy !req
62. it only makes her choice
that much more unfathomable.Copy !req
63. What measure of despairCopy !req
64. compels one to commit
such an act?Copy !req
65. We can only take comfortCopy !req
66. in the fact that she is
in a better place nowCopy !req
67. than she found here among us.Copy !req
68. My deepest sympathies.
Bridget.Copy !req
69. We were there for the things
we couldn't face alone.Copy !req
70. Hey.Copy !req
71. Hey, B,Copy !req
72. you okay?
Yeah. I will beCopy !req
73. as soon as I get out
of these stupid heels. Here.Copy !req
74. Hold them for me, will you?Copy !req
75. I think I'll run home.Copy !req
76. Or...Copy !req
77. the ones we didn't want
to face at all.Copy !req
78. Together it was as if we formed
one single, complete person:Copy !req
79. wild, unstoppable Bridget;Copy !req
80. shy and beautiful Lena;Copy !req
81. Tibby the rebel;Copy !req
82. and me, Carmen, the writer.Copy !req
83. You can't buy anything new
at a vintage store.Copy !req
84. We were 16
and had never been apart.Copy !req
85. And all that
was about to change.Copy !req
86. How about this one?Copy !req
87. It's great, if you
want to go to GreeceCopy !req
88. looking like
Laverne De Fazio.Copy !req
89. Who?
'70s TV icon.Copy !req
90. Am I the only one who's not
culturally deprived around here?Copy !req
91. Oh, somebody forgot to take
her happy pill this morning.Copy !req
92. No. Actually,
I'm saving them upCopy !req
93. for when I'm stuck
doing time at WallmansCopy !req
94. while the rest of you jet off
on your little adventures.Copy !req
95. Aw, boo-hoo, Tibby, you
are such a drama queen.Copy !req
96. I am going to
South Carolina.Copy !req
97. That is only, like,
three states away.Copy !req
98. It's abandonment,
nevertheless.Copy !req
99. I hate you all.Copy !req
100. Oh, please, you're the one who
wanted to stay here all summerCopy !req
101. and angst it out
making your documentary.Copy !req
102. Yeah, it's gonna be
a huge hit.Copy !req
103. Enthralling footage
on how to stack deodorant.Copy !req
104. You know, I think I'm gonna
start my own genre,Copy !req
105. call it the suck-umentary.Copy !req
106. Lena, look at this.
Oh, my goodness.Copy !req
107. They're perfect.Copy !req
108. I can't wear a bikini.Copy !req
109. Carmen, duh, don't you know
that all the beachesCopy !req
110. in Greece are nude? What?Copy !req
111. She's just kidding, Lena.Copy !req
112. God, I envy you...
you get to go to a placeCopy !req
113. where there's actually guys.Copy !req
114. I thought you were
looking forwardCopy !req
115. to, um, el campo de futbol.Copy !req
116. She sure wasCopy !req
117. until she found out
it was girls-only.Copy !req
118. No boys allowed.Copy !req
119. I don't want
to talk about it.Copy !req
120. Hey, pierce alert,
pierce alert.Copy !req
121. Mm-mm. Sorry, young lady.Copy !req
122. No more holes. I've told you...Copy !req
123. Tibby?Copy !req
124. Take those out right now
and try these on. Look.Copy !req
125. Put them on.
Go. Go, go, go, go.Copy !req
126. Carmen...Copy !req
127. Tibby, you're
a babe!Copy !req
128. Wow! Tibby,
you look amazing.Copy !req
129. Look at you!Copy !req
130. Turn around.
Carmen!Copy !req
131. You look wonderful.Copy !req
132. You look good!Copy !req
133. They look great on you.
Please buy them.Copy !req
134. You try them on, then.Copy !req
135. But I don't wear jeans.Copy !req
136. Yeah. Or bikinisCopy !req
137. or miniskirts
or anything elseCopy !req
138. that might actually
show you have a shape.Copy !req
139. I do not.Copy !req
140. Tibby, those look
so great on you.Copy !req
141. Why can't you just admit it?Copy !req
142. Oh, because I'm
wallowing in self-pity.Copy !req
143. Ay, Dios mio!Copy !req
144. Lena... you have a body!
Are you serious?Copy !req
145. Lena Kaligaras
has a body!Copy !req
146. Shh. Stop it.Copy !req
147. When did this happen?Copy !req
148. You look good
in those!Copy !req
149. Look at you!Copy !req
150. You look good!
Little Lena.Copy !req
151. Bridget, you're the oneCopy !req
152. who loves jeans so much,
why don't you try them?Copy !req
153. Uh, maybe 'cause I'm three
inches taller than you.Copy !req
154. Fair is fair.Copy !req
155. Hey, how can they be perfect
on you, too?Copy !req
156. Wow, that is
a little weird.Copy !req
157. I don't know, but, um,Copy !req
158. it's really starting
to freak me out.Copy !req
159. Okay, Carmen,
it's your turn.Copy !req
160. Carmen, you try them on.Copy !req
161. You have to.Copy !req
162. Oh, come on, B, honestly.Copy !req
163. Are you serious?Copy !req
164. You think that a pair of jeans
that fits all three of youCopy !req
165. is going to fit...
all of this?Copy !req
166. Put them on. Now.Copy !req
167. We'll help your thighs
get into them.Copy !req
168. Don't worry about it.Copy !req
169. Tibby!Copy !req
170. Oh, come on.Copy !req
171. Will you help me
get out of them?Copy !req
172. Carmen, we all
tried them on.Copy !req
173. Yeah.Copy !req
174. Just try them.Copy !req
175. All right.Copy !req
176. My thighs.Copy !req
177. Sassy britches.Copy !req
178. Okay, here we go.Copy !req
179. What?Copy !req
180. I told you guys,
I'm just gonnaCopy !req
181. take them off,
and we're gonna pretendCopy !req
182. like this never...Copy !req
183. Come over here and
look at yourself.Copy !req
184. They look amazing on you.Copy !req
185. Look at them.Copy !req
186. Call me crazy, but it's
scientifically impossibleCopy !req
187. that a pair of pants
could fit me...Copy !req
188. And me... And me...Copy !req
189. And me.Copy !req
190. This is crazy.Copy !req
191. Look, Tib, something
happened todayCopy !req
192. that I can't explain
and you can't explain.Copy !req
193. Okay, whatever,
let's just ignore it.Copy !req
194. We can't just ignore...
we can't just ignore it.Copy !req
195. Why?Copy !req
196. Because it's a sign...Copy !req
197. Shh. Be quiet.Copy !req
198. Sometimes you
are just...Copy !req
199. B, be careful!Copy !req
200. I'm fine, Lena.Copy !req
201. Oh, my God.Copy !req
202. All I know is, it makes every
one of our butts look good.Copy !req
203. That's enough for me.Copy !req
204. That's right.Copy !req
205. Amen.Copy !req
206. Get up there. Go on.Copy !req
207. Look, there is more going on
here than, like...Copy !req
208. But there's
probably Lycra.Copy !req
209. All right, guys,
are we ready for this?Copy !req
210. In the name of the Father,
the Son...Copy !req
211. Oh, my God,
here we go.Copy !req
212. Oh, Carmen.
This isn't church!Copy !req
213. You guys! But it's still
a sacred place.Copy !req
214. I mean, this is where
our moms met, right?Copy !req
215. Anyway, look,
we're gathered here todayCopy !req
216. to honor a gift
that has been sent to us.Copy !req
217. Then why'd we have
to pay for 'em?Copy !req
218. Tibby, just go with it.Copy !req
219. Carmen, go ahead.Copy !req
220. I know.Copy !req
221. Tonight, on the eve
of our separation,Copy !req
222. magic has come to us
in a pair of pants.Copy !req
223. What? And I'm proposingCopy !req
224. that we share them equally,Copy !req
225. and that this summer
they travel among us,Copy !req
226. and they'll link us
in hearts and spirits,Copy !req
227. even though we're far apart
from each other.Copy !req
228. That's sweet.
I think that tonightCopy !req
229. we're the sisters
of these pantalones.Copy !req
230. Yes!Copy !req
231. Sisters of the Pants?Copy !req
232. Yes!
We need rules.Copy !req
233. Every sisterhood
has rules.Copy !req
234. Thank you. A manifesto.Copy !req
235. Okay.Copy !req
236. Good point! I love it!Copy !req
237. Okay, rule number one.Copy !req
238. Um, each sister is going
to keep the pants for...Copy !req
239. A week. A week.Copy !req
240. I think that Lena
should be first, 'cause GreeceCopy !req
241. is the furthest away.Copy !req
242. Yes.
Okay.Copy !req
243. Tibby, you next.
Uh, what's your rule?Copy !req
244. I don't have a rule.Copy !req
245. Yes, you do.
Come on.Copy !req
246. Uh, no picking your nose
when wearing the pants.Copy !req
247. Honestly!
That's not...Copy !req
248. Well, you can
casually scratchCopy !req
249. while really...
picking, a little.Copy !req
250. Thanks for the allowance.Copy !req
251. Okay, when sending the pants,Copy !req
252. we should write a letter
that detailsCopy !req
253. the most exciting thing
that happened to youCopy !req
254. while wearing the pants.Copy !req
255. That's a good rule.Copy !req
256. So the most exciting thing
that happens to you.Copy !req
257. And what if nothing
exciting happens?Copy !req
258. Something exciting
is gonna have to.Copy !req
259. No, I really doubt it.Copy !req
260. Oh, and whenCopy !req
261. it happens,
and we reunite,Copy !req
262. we will document itCopy !req
263. on the pants themselves.Copy !req
264. That's good.Copy !req
265. That's rule number six.Copy !req
266. Rule number seven.Copy !req
267. Any removal of the pantsCopy !req
268. must be done
by the wearer herself.Copy !req
269. Yes, you.Copy !req
270. Touché.
Touché.Copy !req
271. He works, you know.Copy !req
272. So he may not have that much
time to spend with you.Copy !req
273. So if you get lonely, I want
you to come home, okay?Copy !req
274. I'm gonna be fine, Mom.Copy !req
275. We will never, everCopy !req
276. wash these pants.Copy !req
277. Ew, Carmen, that's
so unnecessary. Why not?Copy !req
278. Because you can't
wash the pants.Copy !req
279. Why?Copy !req
280. Carmen, we have
to wash the pants.Copy !req
281. What, are you gonna wash
the magic out of the pants?Copy !req
282. That is not sanitary.Copy !req
283. No, better one...Copy !req
284. I have a better one:
no double cuffing.Copy !req
285. Double cuffing the pants
at the bottom... it's tacky.Copy !req
286. It's totally tacky.Copy !req
287. You know what else is tacky?Copy !req
288. Uh, tucking in your shirtCopy !req
289. and wearing a belt
at the same time.Copy !req
290. Oh! That's a good one!Copy !req
291. I don't do that anymore.Copy !req
292. I did that one time.Copy !req
293. No cuffs, no tucking.Copy !req
294. Okay, yes, B?Copy !req
295. You can never say you look fat
while wearing the pants.Copy !req
296. Ouch! Ow...Copy !req
297. You can't even think it!Copy !req
298. And, uh, take care.Copy !req
299. And... be sure
to write, huh?Copy !req
300. You, too. Bye.Copy !req
301. You better get going.Copy !req
302. Looks like they're
starting to board.Copy !req
303. That's nine.Copy !req
304. We need one more.Copy !req
305. We need a final rule.Copy !req
306. Final rule.Copy !req
307. Okay, pants equal love.Copy !req
308. Love your sisters
and love yourself.Copy !req
309. To the pants.Copy !req
310. And the sisterhood.Copy !req
311. And this summer.Copy !req
312. And the rest of our lives.Copy !req
313. Together and apart.Copy !req
314. You know, Papou,
I really wouldn't mind walking.Copy !req
315. I'm sorry that my...
my Greek isn't so good.Copy !req
316. Um...Copy !req
317. Mom said that I'd pick it up
in no time.Copy !req
318. You know, with all the...
the talking,Copy !req
319. just with you and with Yia Yia.Copy !req
320. Lena!Copy !req
321. Lena!Copy !req
322. Puh-puh-puh-
puh-puh-puh. Oh, uh...Copy !req
323. It's the evil eye. Oh.Copy !req
324. Oh, Lena, I think I'll die
and never see my Lena!Copy !req
325. I think I'll never
see you, my Lena.Copy !req
326. You like your room?Copy !req
327. Eh? And your bed?Copy !req
328. I have put the most special
sheets and lace.Copy !req
329. And from this window,
the most beautiful view, eh?Copy !req
330. She's special, eh?
Like a jewel.Copy !req
331. Ah, we guard you
like a jewel. Eh?Copy !req
332. You need rest, eh?
Good rest.Copy !req
333. When you hear your name called
and the color of your team,Copy !req
334. run over and join your coach.Copy !req
335. Alber, Megan, green.Copy !req
336. Anderson, Alice, green.Copy !req
337. Please, God,Copy !req
338. let me sprain my ankle
as soon as possible.Copy !req
339. Come again?Copy !req
340. This whole thing was
my mother's idea.Copy !req
341. She couldn't wait
to get rid of me.Copy !req
342. God, mine has been
sobbing all week.Copy !req
343. "I don't know what
I'm gonna do without you."Copy !req
344. I'm like, "Get a life, Ma,"
you know?Copy !req
345. What's yours do?Copy !req
346. Oh, um, nothing.Copy !req
347. Hey, who's that?Copy !req
348. Don't even think
about it.Copy !req
349. It's against the rules
to have flings with the coaches.Copy !req
350. Darcet, Olivia! Red!Copy !req
351. Come on!Copy !req
352. Vreeland, Bridget! Red!Copy !req
353. Here it is.Copy !req
354. I asked the school to
postpone sending thisCopy !req
355. because, Dad, I wanted
to surprise you.Copy !req
356. That's fantastic!Copy !req
357. Dad, I brought
my tennis gear,Copy !req
358. and I have been practicing
like crazy,Copy !req
359. so I want you to serve to me
your absolute hardest, okay?Copy !req
360. I'll do that.Copy !req
361. You know, I was
calculating it on the train.Copy !req
362. I haven't spentCopy !req
363. more than four straight days
with you since I was ten.Copy !req
364. I mean, I love it
when you come for Christmas,Copy !req
365. but a whole summer?Copy !req
366. Just the two of us?Copy !req
367. Did I tell you that Mom taught
me how to make arroz con pollo?Copy !req
368. I'm gonna cook that
for you.Copy !req
369. And platanos, too.Copy !req
370. Wait, where are we?Copy !req
371. I have a surprise
for you.Copy !req
372. I moved out of Charleston.Copy !req
373. And into a development?Copy !req
374. Dad...
but you hate developments.Copy !req
375. When did I say that?Copy !req
376. At the Frederick Law Olmsted
exhibit at the Smithsonian.Copy !req
377. You said there's city
and there's country,Copy !req
378. and everything else
is a wasteland.Copy !req
379. I was nine years old,
and you came to DC for one dayCopy !req
380. to visit with
a plastics company.Copy !req
381. You remember everything.Copy !req
382. I don't remember
you telling me you moved.Copy !req
383. Who is that?Copy !req
384. Is that your neighbor?Copy !req
385. Actually...Copy !req
386. we live together.Copy !req
387. Hey!Copy !req
388. You must be Carmen.Copy !req
389. Ooh.Copy !req

summer together.Copy !req
393. Kids! Kids,

406. We're getting married.Copy !req
407. August 19.Copy !req
408. Say, you're a real
natural with that thing.Copy !req
409. Took me weeks before
I got the hang of it.Copy !req
410. Yeah, well, we all have
our special talents.Copy !req
411. Tibby.Copy !req
412. I thought I made it
perfectly clearCopy !req
413. that employee headsets
are to be wornCopy !req
414. at all times.Copy !req
415. Don't make me mention it again.Copy !req
416. Excuse me?Copy !req
417. Where are the shampoos?Copy !req
418. Aisle seven.Copy !req
419. Oh, my God.Copy !req

421. Girl down.Copy !req
422. Somebody call an ambulance!Copy !req
423. You got a price sticker
on your forehead.Copy !req
424. I'm sorry, I...Copy !req
425. I don't speak
Greek very well.Copy !req
426. Well, we'll have to work
on that, won't we?Copy !req
427. Thanks for lending me a shirt.Copy !req
428. It looks
good on you.Copy !req
429. Sorry if it
smells like fish.Copy !req
430. Is this your boat?Copy !req
431. My grandfather's. Yeah.Copy !req
432. Mm.Copy !req
433. All the ones
with the blue flagsCopy !req

447. Yeah.Copy !req
448. But I'm just here

449. I'm staying with
my grandparents.Copy !req

474. So, um, I hear you

475. Yep.Copy !req
476. Well, what have you
heard about me?Copy !req
477. Your high school

478. MVP. I play forward.Copy !req
479. So I've noticed.Copy !req
480. I'm 17.Copy !req
481. Come on,
I'll race you.Copy !req
482. That's it.Copy !req
483. Seven miles.Copy !req
484. Oh, God,
don't you love to run?Copy !req
485. Yeah.Copy !req
486. It's the best high there is.Copy !req
487. Exactly.Copy !req
488. It's-It's... It's like
you're just in this placeCopy !req
489. where-where nothing bad
can ever happen, you know?Copy !req
490. Like,
if you justCopy !req
491. push a bit further,
if you just keep moving...Copy !req
492. Nothing can touch you.Copy !req
493. Of course,
the endorphinsCopy !req
494. don't suck either.Copy !req
495. So Tammy's feeling okay?Copy !req
496. Yeah.Copy !req
497. So is she going to do
baton twirling with you?Copy !req
498. We don't know yet.Copy !req
499. She might just have
to hold the banner.Copy !req
500. Sweetheart,
why don't we say graceCopy !req
501. before we start eating dinner.Copy !req
502. I would love to.Copy !req
503. Bless us, O Lord,
for these, Thy gifts,Copy !req
504. which we are about to receive,Copy !req
505. from Thy bounty, through
Christ our Lord...Copy !req
506. Amen.Copy !req
507. Dig in. This looks great.Copy !req
508. I will get that.Copy !req
509. Oh, it's okay.Copy !req
510. We don't answer
the phone during dinner.Copy !req
511. Except that one time.Copy !req
512. Tell us again
how you guys met.Copy !req
513. Oh...Copy !req
514. We've told that
story so many times.Copy !req
515. Do you want to tell it?Copy !req
516. No, I don't want to tell it.Copy !req
517. You want me to tell it?
All right.Copy !req
518. I dialed the wrong number...Copy !req
519. And I answered.Copy !req
520. During dinner.Copy !req
521. Just that one time.Copy !req
522. And Lydia agreedCopy !req
523. to go out
with a perfect stranger.Copy !req
524. Is that how it happened?
Oh, no.Copy !req
525. Come on.
No, no, no.Copy !req
526. That is exactly what happened.Copy !req
527. We went bowling.
It was so much fun.Copy !req
528. Do you remember?
You bowled a two.Copy !req
529. A two is a bad score.Copy !req
530. At least I didn't get the
bowling ball stuck on my thumb.Copy !req
531. The water in the toilet is blue.Copy !req
532. Blue?Copy !req
533. Yes, Mom, blue.Copy !req
534. And by the way,
doesn't Dad hate bowling?Copy !req
535. Bowling?Copy !req
536. Well, he's down here bowling.Copy !req
537. And he says grace.Copy !req
538. Grace?Copy !req
539. He says Grace, Mom.Copy !req
540. Like, he gives thanks
to God before he eats.Copy !req
541. We couldn't get him to go
to church with us once.Copy !req
542. Who is this guy?
I don't even...Copy !req
543. Okay, you need
to talk to him, Carmen.Copy !req
544. Just...
tell him how you feel.Copy !req
545. I do. I do talk to him.Copy !req
546. I talk to him all the time.Copy !req
547. Yeah, like you talk to me? No.Copy !req
548. This is important Carmensita.Copy !req
549. What he did was wrong.Copy !req
550. I'm gonna get on a plane and
I'm just gonna come down there.Copy !req
551. No, Mom, look...Copy !req
552. Okay, you'd never
want him to be happy,Copy !req
553. and that's why you blame himCopy !req
554. and this
is gonna work out great.Copy !req
555. It's going to be fine.Copy !req
556. Dear Tibby,
I think we may have beenCopy !req
557. very, very wrong
about the pants.Copy !req
558. The one time I wore them,
I almost drowned,Copy !req
559. and then got plucked
onto a fishing boatCopy !req
560. by a guy who made me
touch a live fish.Copy !req
561. It was disgusting.Copy !req
562. At least I'm getting
some good sketching in.Copy !req
563. I love everything
about this island.Copy !req
564. Well, except
that you're not with me.Copy !req
565. Infinite X's and O's.Copy !req
566. Lena.Copy !req
567. How was town?Copy !req
568. Fine.Copy !req
569. I have found this
in the laundry.Copy !req
570. Is it yours?Copy !req
571. No, actually, um...Copy !req
572. I, uh, I sort ofCopy !req
573. borrowed it.Copy !req
574. When I went down
to the, um,Copy !req
575. harbor,
I went swimming,Copy !req
576. and someone just lent it to me.Copy !req
577. Oh, someone.
Someone who?Copy !req
578. A boy, yeah?Copy !req
579. Which one?Copy !req
580. I know everyone.Copy !req
581. Don't mind them,
they're your cousins.Copy !req
582. They're cousins, too?
How many do I have?Copy !req
583. Plenty of them.Copy !req
584. Don't change the subject.Copy !req
585. Come, out with it.Copy !req
586. Out, out.Copy !req
587. His name is Kostas Dunas.Copy !req
588. Dunas?Copy !req
589. He's a Dunas?Copy !req
590. Shh!Copy !req
591. You must never
speak of them.Copy !req
592. They are liars,
they are thieves,Copy !req
593. they are barbarians!Copy !req
594. Your grandfather would die
if he know about this.Copy !req
595. You must never see
this boy again.Copy !req
596. You understand?Copy !req
597. Yes.Copy !req
598. No, that's not enough.Copy !req
599. You have to swear.Copy !req
600. I swear.Copy !req
601. Okay.Copy !req
602. What exactly am I supposed
to be saying here?Copy !req
603. TIBBY
Oh, just stuff about your life.Copy !req
604. Oh, ain't nothing
too interesting.Copy !req
605. Well, we're not really lookingCopy !req
606. for interesting,
just real, you know.Copy !req
607. That's the point
of a documentary.Copy !req
608. A what?Copy !req
609. A documentary.Copy !req
610. Oh.Copy !req
611. Like a movie,
only boring.Copy !req
612. Um, hi.
I think this is yours.Copy !req
613. They delivered it
to my house by mistake.Copy !req
614. They must have got
the numbers screwed up.Copy !req
615. See, this says 721 and I'm 271.Copy !req
616. I'm Bailey.Copy !req
617. Yeah, you're the one...Copy !req
618. that, um, that fainted
the other day, right?Copy !req
619. At Wallmans. I was there.Copy !req
620. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
621. You're the weird girl with the
price sticker on your forehead.Copy !req
622. Wait here,
I got something for you.Copy !req
623. It was lying
next to you.Copy !req
624. I opened it up to see if
there was an I.D. in it.Copy !req
625. So you ripped off
my wallet?Copy !req
626. Ooh...Copy !req
627. that's kind of like a
thank you, but different?Copy !req
628. I think I had more than
four dollars in here.Copy !req
629. Do you seriously think
I would steal your money?Copy !req
630. I opened it to see
if there was an I.D. in there.Copy !req
631. Okay? There wasn't.Copy !req
632. There was a school photo and
a pathetic picture of a kitten.Copy !req
633. Oh, so what's in yours?Copy !req
634. A Wallmans employee card
or license to ride a bike?Copy !req
635. Oh, excuse me.Copy !req
636. I get my learner's permit
next week and...Copy !req
637. How old are you, like, ten?Copy !req
638. Twelve.
Whatever.Copy !req
639. Same difference.
No, it's not.Copy !req
640. When I was ten,
I didn't have an iPod.Copy !req
641. Oh, you're so cool.Copy !req
642. And what are you
listening to in there?Copy !req
643. Teletubbies' Hit Parade?Copy !req
644. You woke her up.
Thank you.Copy !req
645. Must suck.Copy !req
646. What?Copy !req
647. Having to baby-sit
on your day off.Copy !req
648. Why are you
working there anyway?Copy !req
649. It just
so happensCopy !req
650. that I need some extra money
for new video equipment,Copy !req
651. and when I finally got around
to looking for a new job,Copy !req
652. Wallmans was the...Copy !req
653. Why am I telling you this?Copy !req
654. Don't you have somewhere
you need to be?Copy !req
655. Not really.Copy !req
656. Looks like
you got a lot already.Copy !req
657. Are you making
a movie or something?Copy !req
658. More like an ode.Copy !req
659. To what?Copy !req
660. Lives of quiet desperation.Copy !req
661. Human existence at its lamest.Copy !req
662. Oh, fascinating.Copy !req
663. Maybe you need an assistant.Copy !req
664. Maybe I don't.
You wouldn't haveCopy !req
665. to pay me or anything.Copy !req
666. I could just help you carry
equipment and stuff.Copy !req
667. Hi, honey.Copy !req
668. Oh, I'm sorry I'm late.Copy !req
669. Who's your friend?Copy !req
670. She's not my...Copy !req
671. Bailey. Bailey Graffman.Copy !req
672. Well, I got to go.Copy !req
673. See you around, Tibby.Copy !req
674. There you are.Copy !req
675. Hi. Hey.Copy !req
676. We should play
tennis tomorrow.Copy !req
677. Really?Copy !req
678. Yeah.
Yeah.Copy !req
679. In the morning?
Yeah.Copy !req
680. Are you ready for this,
old man?Copy !req
681. You think your knees,
your knees can take it?Copy !req
682. Seriously, do you
actually thinkCopy !req
683. that you can return my serve?Copy !req
684. I do, Dad, I do.Copy !req
685. Would you like to put
some money on that?Copy !req
686. I'll put some money
on it.Copy !req
687. Uh, sweetheart?
Yeah?Copy !req
688. I got to meet
the caterers at the hotel.Copy !req
689. Would you mind
stopping by Paul's game?Copy !req
690. Sure.Copy !req
691. He's an unbelievableCopy !req
692. soccer player.Copy !req
693. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
694. We'll just stop
for one second, okay?Copy !req
695. It's right on the way.Copy !req
696. Yeah, yeah, okay.Copy !req
697. Oh, hey.Copy !req
698. How are you?Copy !req
699. Good.Copy !req

701. They're not,
I just came out earlyCopy !req
702. to check out the competition.Copy !req
703. Oh...Copy !req
704. Well, you're
looking at her.Copy !req
705. You're awfully
sure of yourself, huh?Copy !req
706. When I know what I want.Copy !req
707. Take it down! Take it down!Copy !req
708. Overtime!Copy !req
709. All right!Copy !req
710. Overtime.Copy !req
711. Which one of
those is yours?Copy !req
712. Uh, Paul. Paul Rodman.Copy !req
713. Oh, so you're the
golden boy's dad.Copy !req
714. He's a good player.Copy !req
715. Yeah, he is.Copy !req
716. Al?Copy !req
717. Okay, let's see you pass!Copy !req
718. Pass, Vreeland!Copy !req
719. Now!Copy !req
720. Yep, nice shot.Copy !req
721. We're not worthy.Copy !req
722. Come on, ladies!Copy !req
723. Sub!Copy !req
724. Vreeland, you're out!Copy !req
725. This is a scrimmage,
Vreeland,Copy !req
726. as in practice,
as in everyoneCopy !req
727. on the team needs
to get some.Copy !req
728. We all know you're

729. Okay, we got it.Copy !req
730. Now save it for

734. The hotel that's
doing our weddingCopy !req
735. had a water main break.Copy !req
736. The whole place is flooded.Copy !req
737. And the repairs won't
be done for months.Copy !req
738. Oh, my God, the place
was just so perfect.Copy !req
739. I'm never going to find
another place in time.Copy !req
740. I'm just...Copy !req
741. We will find a place.Copy !req
742. I'm sorry.Copy !req
743. Lydia never had
a real wedding.Copy !req
744. My, uh, my dad died just
before my first and, uh...Copy !req
745. Come on, let's get you home.Copy !req

tennis with Carmen?Copy !req
749. Great shot, Paul.Copy !req
750. What?Copy !req
751. Lydia needs me, sweetie.Copy !req
752. Besides, it'll be a good chanceCopy !req
753. for you guys
to get to know each other.Copy !req
754. Dad, Paul doesn't talk.Copy !req
755. Yeah, he's
a little shy.Copy !req
756. Go on. It'll be fun.Copy !req
757. We'll play tomorrow, okay?Copy !req
758. Okay.Copy !req
759. Oh, my God. Are you okay?Copy !req

762. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.Copy !req
763. It's swelling.Copy !req
764. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
765. It's no big deal.Copy !req
766. We should just stop.Copy !req
767. I'm tired anyway.Copy !req
768. Oh!Copy !req
769. No, I thought...
I didn't...Copy !req
770. Well, here's your shirt.Copy !req
771. Thanks again.Copy !req
772. Lena, wait!Copy !req
773. I was just about
to take her out.Copy !req
774. Come with me.Copy !req
775. No, I shouldn't even
be here at all.Copy !req
776. They told you, didn't they?Copy !req
777. You think this is funny?Copy !req
778. Our grandparents
hate each other.Copy !req
779. You knew my name.Copy !req
780. Why didn't you just say
something the other day?Copy !req
781. Well, because...Copy !req
782. the arguments of old men
have nothing to do with us.Copy !req
783. Well, they're not
arguing about nothing.Copy !req
784. What is... what was
the fight about?Copy !req
785. What everything
here is about.Copy !req
786. Money and fish.Copy !req
787. My grandfather says your
grandfather cheat him.Copy !req
788. Your grandfather says my
grandfather sold him fishCopy !req
789. that make his whole
restaurant sick.Copy !req
790. So what's the truth?Copy !req
791. The truth is... that it's
a beautiful day and...Copy !req
792. why should the rest
of it matter?Copy !req
793. Because it does.Copy !req
794. Tibby...Copy !req
795. Tibby?Copy !req
796. Tibby, now I've hadCopy !req
797. another complaint
of receipt withholding.Copy !req
798. So this is your
second offense and...Copy !req
799. You're going to have
to dock my pay.Copy !req
800. That's right.Copy !req
801. Also, the dress code
strictly prohibits blue jeans.Copy !req
802. No problem!Copy !req
803. Great.Copy !req
804. Wha-What are you doing
with my stuff?Copy !req
805. Your mom gave it to me.Copy !req
806. I told her I was
your assistant.Copy !req
807. You what? Wha...Copy !req
808. She seemed to think
it was a good idea.Copy !req
809. Okay, look, you seem
like a sweet kid.Copy !req
810. No, you seem like a pain
in the ass.Copy !req
811. But look, I have
my own friends.Copy !req
812. Three best friends.Copy !req
813. And even though they left me
here to rot this summer,Copy !req
814. I'm not looking
for any new ones.Copy !req
815. Neither am I.Copy !req
816. I just thinkCopy !req
817. it'd be cool to learn
about filmmaking.Copy !req
818. Besides,Copy !req
819. I think I found a good subject
for an interview.Copy !req
820. His name is Brian McBrian,
king of Dragon's Lair.Copy !req
821. I heard he's broken
every record there is.Copy !req
822. Okay, so he's definitely
not what you'd call lame,Copy !req
823. but I figured he'd beCopy !req
824. a good contrast
to all the loser typesCopy !req
825. in the movie.Copy !req
826. Start setting up.Copy !req
827. Go stand next to him.Copy !req
828. Pretend like
you're a fan.Copy !req
829. Like you watch him all
the time or something.Copy !req
830. Right.Copy !req
831. And...Copy !req
832. action.Copy !req
833. Video arcade wizardsCopy !req
834. are fixtures at most
convenience stores.Copy !req
835. Brian McBrian is
a fixture at this one.Copy !req
836. Dragon's Lair, he says,Copy !req
837. is his calling.Copy !req
838. Brian, you spend
a lot of time here?Copy !req
839. Uh... sometimes, all day.Copy !req
840. So, you prefer to spendCopy !req
841. most of your time here
at the Quick MartCopy !req
842. instead of out
in the real world?Copy !req
843. Well, maybe he finds the
world of Dragon's LairCopy !req
844. more interesting.Copy !req
845. Tell us about it,
Brian.Copy !req
846. Well, uh...Copy !req
847. basically, uh,Copy !req
848. you're... Dirk the DaringCopy !req
849. in the year 1305 A.D.Copy !req
850. See, the goal is to
rescue Princess DaphneCopy !req
851. who's being guarded by
a sinister dragon.Copy !req
852. See, chamber number oneCopy !req
853. is the snake room.Copy !req
854. See, snakes slither
from the ceiling.Copy !req
855. Really?Copy !req
856. And you don't even get
to see the dragonCopy !req
857. until chamber number 23.Copy !req
858. Yeah!Copy !req
859. Come on, come
on, come on.Copy !req
860. Yeah...Copy !req
861. He's right behind you!Copy !req
862. Go, go, go.Copy !req
863. Yeah, yeah, yeah.Copy !req
864. I got it. I got it.Copy !req
865. Watch this. Ready?Copy !req
866. Run fast!
Go!Copy !req
867. Ooh.Copy !req
868. Oh, you must have
run out of tape.Copy !req
869. Oh!Copy !req
870. What about the rest
of the interview?Copy !req
871. Um...Copy !req
872. well, we could...
we could alwaysCopy !req
873. come back tomorrow, I guess.Copy !req
874. I mean, if that's...
if that's cool with you.Copy !req
875. Yeah.Copy !req
876. Buenos dias.Copy !req
877. Como estan?Copy !req
878. Que dia tan bueno, no?Copy !req
879. Papi, como dormistes, bien?Copy !req
880. You all right?Copy !req
881. Claro que si, porque no?Copy !req
882. Is she speaking
Spanish?Copy !req
883. Oh, is that okay?
Is that all right?Copy !req
884. Oh, sure, sure.Copy !req
885. It's just that nobody
understands it, sweetie.Copy !req
886. Oh, come on, Dad, you
know that is not true.Copy !req
887. He and my mom, they used to
speak Spanish all the time.Copy !req
888. Especially when they
started being all gushyCopy !req
889. and they didn't
want me to...Copy !req
890. Oh, wow, is it..?
It's 9:00?Copy !req
891. I've got to drop
that check off.Copy !req
892. you know, know what
they were saying,Copy !req
893. so they would just, like,
bust out in Spanish.Copy !req
894. But I totally
understood them. It was...Copy !req
895. Uh, Carmen! Carmen, you're
not going to believe this.Copy !req
896. We have decided to have the
wedding right here at home.Copy !req
897. With a big party
in the backyard.Copy !req
898. Mm-hmm!Copy !req
899. Dancing under the stars.
It's gonna be perfect.Copy !req
900. Oh, it'll be fabulous.Copy !req
901. Que bueno.Copy !req
902. Where's, um, Paul?Copy !req
903. Oh, he, uh, he had
an appointment.Copy !req
904. At the hospital?Copy !req
905. Why-Why would
you say that?Copy !req
906. Well, we were playing tennisCopy !req
907. the other day
and, well, I hit him,Copy !req
908. but it was an accident and...Copy !req
909. Oh, no,
no, no. He's fine.Copy !req
910. He's okay, he's okay.
He just, uh...Copy !req
911. He just had
to do something.Copy !req
912. Yeah...Copy !req
913. Dad, Dad.
Yo.Copy !req
914. Dad...Copy !req
915. Um, what's going on?Copy !req
916. Where exactly is Paul?Copy !req
917. He's in Atlanta, honey.Copy !req
918. Visiting his father.Copy !req
919. His dad's in a facility.Copy !req
920. He's an alcoholic.Copy !req
921. Every month, Paul
takes a bus to visit him.Copy !req
922. Krista refuses to see him.Copy !req
923. She's, she's not
ready for that.Copy !req
924. Lydia doesn't want to upset her
by talking about it,Copy !req
925. so we just say that Paul
is out for the day.Copy !req
926. Okay.Copy !req
927. Natasha...Copy !req
928. Olivia...Copy !req
929. Bridget...Copy !req
930. Polly...Copy !req
931. Jana...Copy !req
932. Oh, tampons!Copy !req
933. That's special, Mom!Copy !req
934. Joe...Copy !req
935. Welcome to camp.Copy !req
936. Tampons.Copy !req
937. Diana...Copy !req
938. Uh-huh. Shampoo.Copy !req
939. Very, very practical, Mother.Copy !req
940. Hamburgers.Copy !req
941. Every day...Copy !req
942. Oh, did you guys hear?Copy !req
943. Actually, they're, uh,Copy !req
944. finally giving
us Saturday off.Copy !req
945. Oh, hallelujah.Copy !req
946. Can you say "cantina"?Copy !req
947. Hey, where's the cantina?Copy !req
948. I don't know.Copy !req
949. I think somewhere
up the road. Why?Copy !req
950. He wants me to go.Copy !req
951. What?Copy !req
952. He wants me to go.Copy !req
953. Come on, why elseCopy !req
954. would he have said that
right in front of me?Copy !req
955. Oh, this is
my favorite part.Copy !req
956. When he takes the big risk
and launches the catapults.Copy !req
957. Shh, Bailey, come on.
I'm trying to seeCopy !req
958. if there's something
we can use from this.Copy !req
959. This whole thing...Copy !req
960. What was in the package?Copy !req
961. Uh, just, mm...Copy !req
962. just those pair
of pants over there.Copy !req
963. I'm sharing them with
my friends for the summer.Copy !req
964. These?Copy !req
965. What's so great about
an old pair of jeans?Copy !req
966. Uh, nothing.
They... They just happenedCopy !req
967. to mysteriously
fit us all perfectly.Copy !req
968. Really?Copy !req
969. I wonder what they'd
look like on me.Copy !req
970. You know,
on the off chanceCopy !req
971. you'd ever let me
try them on...?Copy !req
972. Like now, for example.Copy !req
973. Bailey, go ahead.Copy !req
974. Just do whatever you want, okay?Copy !req
975. I need some quiet.Copy !req
976. Tibby!Copy !req
977. I need you
to take the baby!Copy !req
978. My Carmapoochiez...Copy !req
979. I'm writing from the post
office, and this express mailCopy !req
980. costs more than I make
in two hours at Wallmans,Copy !req
981. so these jeans better
get to you tomorrow.Copy !req
982. Here we are on a typical
Bethesda corner,Copy !req
983. where generations
of young entrepreneursCopy !req
984. have proved the old adage,
when life hands you lemons,Copy !req
985. make lemonade.Copy !req
986. So the question on my mind is:Copy !req
987. Is this fresh-squeezed
or powder?Copy !req
988. What does it matter,
if it's good lemonade?Copy !req
989. Shh, Bailey, let me...Copy !req
990. let me ask
the questions.Copy !req
991. I'm sad to report
that absolutely nothingCopy !req
992. of consequence happened to me
while wearing the pants.Copy !req
993. Um, I spilled a SpriteCopy !req
994. and Duncan,
my rat-faced manager,Copy !req
995. accused me
of receipt withholding.Copy !req
996. Receipt withholding.Copy !req
997. In rat-faced manager lingo,Copy !req
998. that means forgetting to give
the customer a sales slip.Copy !req
999. You know, I was reading
that Bill Gates,Copy !req
1000. when he was younger,
he ran a lemonade stand.Copy !req
1001. That... you don't
know that. That's not...Copy !req
1002. Yeah, I do. I read
it in a magazine.Copy !req
1003. Where... what...
where did you read that?Copy !req
1004. In a magazine.Copy !req
1005. Other than that, the only thingCopy !req
1006. that I have
to show for the pantsCopy !req
1007. is the kid that delivered them.Copy !req
1008. Some wiseass, pain in the neckCopy !req
1009. who's decided to permanently
glue herself to my hip.Copy !req
1010. she's just tired.Copy !req
1011. That's what she is.Copy !req
1012. She's been there a really
long time... all day.Copy !req
1013. What is she doing
right there? Tell me.Copy !req
1014. She's-She's just thinking.
She's strategizing.Copy !req
1015. She's thinking?Copy !req
1016. And that's what
you can't see.Copy !req
1017. I think she's trying to grow a
brain, that's what she's doing.Copy !req
1018. Too bad you can't
express mail 12-year-olds.Copy !req
1019. and I wish you
the very bestCopy !req
1020. of luck on
this endeavor.Copy !req
1021. Hey.Copy !req
1022. Hey, there, sleepy head.Copy !req
1023. Hey, Carmen.Copy !req
1024. Hey, time to wake up.Copy !req
1025. Hi.Copy !req
1026. Hi, there.
Good morning.Copy !req
1027. Sorry to wake you,Copy !req
1028. but I was just wondering if
Maria could grab your sheets.Copy !req
1029. Maria?Copy !req
1030. Our housekeeper.Copy !req
1031. I told herCopy !req
1032. you usually slept
late, but uh,Copy !req
1033. I don't think she understood me.Copy !req
1034. Her-Her English isn't real good.Copy !req
1035. Um...Copy !req
1036. okay, right.Copy !req
1037. Uh... could I...Copy !req
1038. I'll just wash my own sheets.Copy !req
1039. No, no, no, no.Copy !req
1040. Don't be silly.Copy !req
1041. Maria can certainly
do your sheets...Copy !req
1042. not a problem.Copy !req
1043. Lydia, it's really, it's...Copy !req
1044. It's a beautiful day.Copy !req
1045. There's no reason why you
should be washing sheets.Copy !req
1046. Oh, it's not a problem at all.Copy !req
1047. I usually do it
myself, anyway.Copy !req
1048. I do it all the time.Copy !req
1049. I'm so used to it.Copy !req
1050. People wash their sheets
all the time.Copy !req
1051. Okay.Copy !req
1052. Been here long?Copy !req
1053. Kostas...Copy !req
1054. what are you doing here?Copy !req
1055. It's a fish market.Copy !req
1056. This is where
I sell my fish.Copy !req
1057. Right.Copy !req
1058. But you already
knew that, eh?Copy !req
1059. Excuse me?Copy !req
1060. Yeah, no one sits near
a smelly fish marketCopy !req
1061. unless they're
waiting for someone.Copy !req
1062. Um, well, I don't know
what you're talking about.Copy !req
1063. I mean, I just came
to sketchCopy !req
1064. that old church
over there, so...Copy !req
1065. May I?Copy !req
1066. Um... well, it's...Copy !req
1067. it's not finished.Copy !req
1068. You didn't tell me
you were an artist.Copy !req
1069. I'm not, really.Copy !req
1070. Lena, you are.Copy !req
1071. My parents were marriedCopy !req
1072. in that church before they left
for the United States.Copy !req
1073. Why did they come
back to Greece?Copy !req
1074. They didn't.Copy !req
1075. They were killed in a car
accident when I was 12.Copy !req
1076. I come back to live
with my grandfather.Copy !req
1077. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1078. What made you choose
to paint this?Copy !req
1079. Uh, I don't know.Copy !req
1080. Um, I liked it because,
when you first look at it,Copy !req
1081. it looks kind of
forgotten, and then...Copy !req
1082. but then you realize that
that's why it's beautiful.Copy !req
1083. It's... It's perfect
in all its loneliness.Copy !req
1084. You see?Copy !req
1085. Lena Kaligaras,Copy !req
1086. you are an artist.Copy !req
1087. And you should finish it.Copy !req
1088. Well, maybe some other time.Copy !req
1089. I mean, I really should go.Copy !req
1090. If my grandparents
saw me here, they...Copy !req
1091. They what?Copy !req
1092. Is it really them
you're afraid of?Copy !req
1093. Or is it something else?Copy !req
1094. What do you mean?Copy !req
1095. You don't even know me.Copy !req
1096. I'm trying to.Copy !req
1097. Can't you see that?Copy !req
1098. He's right, Car.Copy !req
1099. I am afraid.Copy !req
1100. There's a part of me
that wants to let him in,Copy !req
1101. but then I feel myself
put this wall up.Copy !req
1102. And I don't understand why.Copy !req
1103. Maybe that's what strikes me
most about Kostas.Copy !req
1104. That despite everything
he suffered, he can stillCopy !req
1105. look at life in the most
uncomplicated way.Copy !req
1106. I've never known
that kind of faith.Copy !req
1107. It makes me so sad that peopleCopy !req
1108. like Kostas and Bridget,
who have lost everything,Copy !req
1109. can still be open to love.Copy !req
1110. While I, who have
lost nothing, am not.Copy !req
1111. She's at the doctor's.Copy !req
1112. Who is?Copy !req
1113. Little girl next door.Copy !req
1114. I don't know why, though.Copy !req
1115. I heard they were
stopping treatment.Copy !req
1116. Treatment?Copy !req
1117. She has leukemia.Copy !req
1118. Found it a couple
of years ago, poor thing.Copy !req
1119. Is that her?Copy !req
1120. Yeah.Copy !req
1121. What is that?Copy !req
1122. Oh!Copy !req
1123. Hi.Copy !req
1124. What are you doing here?Copy !req
1125. You shouldn't be here.Copy !req
1126. I'm not drinking.Copy !req
1127. But if you don't dance with
me, I might have to start.Copy !req
1128. Bridget...Copy !req
1129. I... I can't.Copy !req
1130. I... I can't do this.Copy !req
1131. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1132. not at all.Copy !req
1133. Don't forget to steer.
That's good.Copy !req
1134. Slow down,
slow down.Copy !req
1135. So, uh, Bertie, what
do you like bestCopy !req
1136. about working
here at Wallmans?Copy !req
1137. Pays the bills.Copy !req
1138. Well, most of them anyway.Copy !req
1139. I also work part-timeCopy !req
1140. over at the sweet
shop across the way.Copy !req
1141. They've got one of them,
um, blending machines,Copy !req
1142. you know, for the mixings,Copy !req
1143. and whenever I get bored I...
I do experiments.Copy !req
1144. Experiments?Copy !req
1145. Oh, that's
so cool.Copy !req
1146. Here, plug that in.
Sorry I'm late.Copy !req
1147. It's okay.Copy !req
1148. What's your best one so far?Copy !req
1149. Uh... gee, I
don't know. I...Copy !req
1150. Oh, there was one
the other dayCopy !req
1151. and it turned out
really good.Copy !req
1152. It had, um, pralines,
blueberriesCopy !req
1153. and a whole bunch
of graham crackers.Copy !req
1154. Awesome.Copy !req
1155. You know Baskin-Robbins?Copy !req
1156. They hire these
ice cream scientistsCopy !req
1157. whose job is to invent
three new flavors every month.Copy !req
1158. Really?Copy !req
1159. Yeah.Copy !req
1160. You know who'd be goodCopy !req
1161. at something like that?Copy !req
1162. You.Copy !req
1163. You think so?Copy !req
1164. Oh, geez, I got
to get back to work.Copy !req
1165. Duncan's gonna have a hissy fit.Copy !req
1166. See you later.Copy !req
1167. Sorry.Copy !req
1168. I know you hate it when I butt
in like that, I just...Copy !req
1169. It's okay.Copy !req
1170. I didn't mean to mess up
the whole interview...Copy !req
1171. You didn't.Copy !req
1172. You... You were good.Copy !req
1173. So, uh, who told you?Copy !req
1174. Uh, told me what?Copy !req
1175. You found out, didn't you?Copy !req
1176. We still have time
for one more interview.Copy !req
1177. It's called leukemia.Copy !req
1178. Yeah, and I would
like to come with you.Copy !req
1179. But are you just asking
'cause you feel sorry for me?Copy !req
1180. I don't know.Copy !req
1181. Maybe.Copy !req
1182. Okay.Copy !req
1183. O-Okay.Copy !req
1184. I'll just take the hem up
and it'll be perfect.Copy !req
1185. You look
beautiful.Copy !req
1186. I love it, Mama.Copy !req
1187. Carmen?Copy !req
1188. Carmen, you're next, sweetheart.Copy !req
1189. Uh, I-I beg your pardon?Copy !req
1190. I look like a tramp.Copy !req
1191. Oh, dear.
Um...Copy !req
1192. I'm-I'm sure Barbara can, uh,Copy !req
1193. can-can work on this for you.Copy !req
1194. Here you go.Copy !req
1195. Oh, well, let's,
let's see here.Copy !req
1196. Uh, well, we need
to let this out here.Copy !req
1197. Um, right, right.
Way out.Copy !req
1198. And, um...Copy !req
1199. hopefully, we can dig
up some extra fabric.Copy !req
1200. And maybe we can...Copy !req
1201. This needs
some serious work here.Copy !req
1202. Frankly, I think
we're better offCopy !req
1203. just starting from
scratch on this one.Copy !req
1204. Okay, good, um,
can I take this off now?Copy !req
1205. Oh, sure.
Certainly, darling.Copy !req
1206. Go ahead.Copy !req
1207. Barbara,
I'm so sorry.Copy !req
1208. I had no idea her
father would be so offCopy !req
1209. when he guessed
her size.Copy !req
1210. Well, usually, a roughly
constructed prototypeCopy !req
1211. works as
a starting point,Copy !req
1212. but in this case...Copy !req
1213. Maybe we could add
a long-line corset lift?Copy !req
1214. Yes, that'll cinch it in.Copy !req
1215. Right, beautiful.Copy !req
1216. It is a wedding,Copy !req
1217. and I do want it
to... to look uniform.Copy !req
1218. I mean, will she
look like Krista?Copy !req
1219. Definitely.Copy !req
1220. You know, just never mind.Copy !req
1221. We will fix the hem on Krista's
and we'll just, uh...Copy !req
1222. start over on the other one.Copy !req
1223. Carmen.Copy !req
1224. The other one's name,Copy !req
1225. it's Carmen.Copy !req
1226. Car-men.Copy !req
1227. And you know what, Lydia?Copy !req
1228. Just forget
about the dress, okay?Copy !req
1229. We can just tell everybody
that Carmen's Puerto Rican,Copy !req
1230. and it never
occurred to youCopy !req
1231. that she might be
built differently.Copy !req
1232. Or that unlike you
and your daughter,Copy !req
1233. she has an assCopy !req
1234. that the tailor
didn't have enoughCopy !req
1235. bolts of material to cover.Copy !req
1236. Or better yet, just tell
everyone there is no Carmen.Copy !req
1237. Carmen doesn't exist.Copy !req
1238. Carmen, honey...Copy !req
1239. Carmen!Copy !req
1240. One, two, three!Copy !req
1241. Okay, ladies, time
to call out the cavalry.Copy !req
1242. Now, listen up.Copy !req
1243. To secure a spot
in the playoffs,Copy !req
1244. we're gonna
shake it up a little bit.Copy !req
1245. Just get the ball to Wendy
and Carrie to midfield.Copy !req
1246. Bridget's the sweeper.Copy !req
1247. What?
You heard me.Copy !req
1248. I don't want to see you
go past midfield.Copy !req
1249. You got that? Now go!Copy !req
1250. Dear Lena,Copy !req
1251. when I got your letter I
screamed for about ten minutes.Copy !req
1252. So, you found
a hottie after all, huh?Copy !req
1253. Well, me, too.Copy !req
1254. His name is Eric.Copy !req
1255. Did I mention he's one of the
coaches and 100% off-limits?Copy !req
1256. But I don't care.Copy !req
1257. I've never wanted anything
this much in my entire life.Copy !req
1258. I'm still waiting
for CarmapoochiezCopy !req
1259. to send me the pants.Copy !req
1260. And in the meantime, I'm
throwing all my pent-up energyCopy !req
1261. into soccer,
although that only seemsCopy !req
1262. to get me in more trouble.Copy !req
1263. What can I say?Copy !req
1264. I'm obsessed.Copy !req
1265. And as we all know,Copy !req
1266. obsessed girls cannot beCopy !req
1267. responsible
for our actions, can we?Copy !req
1268. Hey.Copy !req
1269. Saw you watch me play today.Copy !req
1270. What'd you think?Copy !req
1271. Uh...Copy !req
1272. I don't know
if I've ever seen anyone...Copy !req
1273. with that much intensity.Copy !req
1274. Ever.Copy !req
1275. Well, I think I might have beenCopy !req
1276. showing off for you
just a little bit.Copy !req
1277. Just a little bit?
Yeah.Copy !req
1278. No.Copy !req
1279. You know, it's more than that.Copy !req
1280. You scare the hell out of me.Copy !req
1281. Single-minded
to the point of recklessness.Copy !req
1282. What?Copy !req
1283. It's what the school
shrink called me.Copy !req
1284. After my mom died, a few
of the teachers thought that,Copy !req
1285. I don't know, I needed
to be evaluated or something.Copy !req
1286. So I met with a guy.Copy !req
1287. I talked and he wrote.Copy !req
1288. I've never told
anyone that before.Copy !req
1289. Okay, Bridget, I...Copy !req
1290. No, don't say
anything.Copy !req
1291. Not now, okay?Copy !req
1292. Hey, come on, I'll race you.Copy !req
1293. Here you go.Copy !req
1294. You got a key,
honey?Copy !req
1295. No.Copy !req
1296. Doesn't look like
anybody's home.Copy !req
1297. They're probably
out looking for me,Copy !req
1298. but I'll be fine.Copy !req
1299. Thank you.Copy !req
1300. All right.Copy !req
1301. Hi, this is Tibby.Copy !req
1302. Here comes the beep.Copy !req
1303. Hopefully you know
what to do with it.Copy !req
1304. Tib, it's me. It's Carmen.Copy !req
1305. I'm coming home.Copy !req
1306. Everything got screwed up and I
snapped and I don't care and...Copy !req
1307. I'm just fed up
and I can't be here, so...Copy !req
1308. I called you 'cause I knew...Copy !req
1309. knew you'd understand.Copy !req
1310. You know what I like
most about the stars?Copy !req
1311. You look at 'em...
at all of 'em up there...Copy !req
1312. and you just know
there's got to beCopy !req
1313. something more than...Copy !req
1314. Life?Copy !req
1315. There has to be.Copy !req
1316. Are you scared?Copy !req
1317. Not of dying, really.Copy !req
1318. It's more that
I'm afraid of... time.Copy !req
1319. Not having enough of it.Copy !req
1320. Time to figure out
who I'm supposed to be,Copy !req
1321. to find my place in the world
before I have to leave it.Copy !req
1322. I'm afraid of what I'll miss.Copy !req
1323. What?Copy !req
1324. N-Nothing.Copy !req
1325. Well, BridgetCopy !req
1326. just lights
everything up.Copy !req
1327. She makes everything more fun.Copy !req
1328. And Carmen...Copy !req
1329. is brilliant, but
she doesn't know it.Copy !req
1330. And Tibby... well,
Tibby kind ofCopy !req
1331. marches
to her own drum.Copy !req
1332. I'm kind of
jealous of her.Copy !req
1333. Why?Copy !req
1334. Um...Copy !req
1335. well, because
she knows who she is.Copy !req
1336. Don't you?Copy !req
1337. Um, I don't know.Copy !req
1338. I think I know who I want to be.Copy !req
1339. What you were saying
the other dayCopy !req
1340. about me
being afraid,Copy !req
1341. well...
it's hard to explain.Copy !req
1342. Um... all my life,Copy !req
1343. everybody's always kind
of seen me a certain way,Copy !req
1344. um, and I didn't,
I don't...Copy !req
1345. That's all right;
I understand.Copy !req
1346. Do you?Copy !req
1347. Yeah.Copy !req
1348. Some people show off
their beautyCopy !req
1349. because they want
the world to see it.Copy !req
1350. Others try to hide
their beauty because...Copy !req
1351. they want the world
to see something else.Copy !req
1352. And what do you see?Copy !req
1353. Everything.Copy !req
1354. Dear Bridget,Copy !req
1355. I guess I was kidding myselfCopy !req
1356. to think that,
when the pants arrived,Copy !req
1357. they were somehow gonna
make everything better.Copy !req
1358. I mean, I don't blame them
for what happened, but...Copy !req
1359. Anyway, I do hopeCopy !req
1360. that they bring you better
luck than they did me.Copy !req
1361. And even more than that, B,
may they bring you good sense.Copy !req
1362. I know it sounds boring,Copy !req
1363. but trust me
from recent experience,Copy !req
1364. a little common sense,Copy !req
1365. it's not such a bad thing, B.Copy !req
1366. Wear them well.Copy !req
1367. Love you, Carmen.Copy !req
1368. Your dad called.Copy !req
1369. He wanted to make sure
you got home okay.Copy !req
1370. I'm so sorry, baby.Copy !req
1371. I knew this would happen.Copy !req
1372. Mom, please.Copy !req
1373. Now you know why I was so
afraid of you going there.Copy !req
1374. I don't want to say
I told you so, but...Copy !req
1375. Then don't.Copy !req
1376. Morning!Copy !req
1377. Don't you
ever sleep?Copy !req
1378. What for?Copy !req
1379. This just
came for you.Copy !req
1380. Oh, my God.
They're finally here.Copy !req
1381. What's here?Copy !req
1382. Do you guys realize
what this means?Copy !req
1383. That you're hugging
a pair of jeans?Copy !req
1384. These aren't
just jeans.Copy !req
1385. They make things happen.Copy !req
1386. Sweet.Copy !req
1387. I felt like I was
living in some freak showCopy !req
1388. known as the Land
of the Blondes,Copy !req
1389. and guess who was the freak.Copy !req
1390. I'm sure it wasn't that bad.Copy !req
1391. It was!
It was horrible!Copy !req
1392. Okay, Paul... he doesn't talk.Copy !req
1393. He didn't say a word.Copy !req
1394. And Krista,Copy !req
1395. she's this
perky little...Copy !req
1396. nightmare.Copy !req
1397. And her and her mom, they're,
like, sunshine twins on uppers,Copy !req
1398. except when,
God forbid,Copy !req
1399. something happened
with the wedding plans.Copy !req
1400. Because, Tibby, I don't think
there was a single conversationCopy !req
1401. that didn't revolve around
flowers or hors d'oeuvre menusCopy !req
1402. or guest lists
or tablecloths or...Copy !req
1403. I'm sure they were just excited.Copy !req
1404. Tib, can you pretend
to be on my side?Copy !req
1405. It's not
about sides,Copy !req
1406. Car, there are worse things
than your dad getting married.Copy !req
1407. Sure, he probably could
have handled it better...Copy !req
1408. Tibby, he didn't
handle it at all.Copy !req
1409. Tell him that.Copy !req
1410. Why should
I have to?Copy !req
1411. You shouldn't have to throw
a rock at him, either.Copy !req
1412. I didn't throw a rock at him.Copy !req
1413. I threw it at them.Copy !req
1414. They're the problem, Tibby.Copy !req
1415. They're the ones
who ruined everything.Copy !req
1416. And why are you giving me
this hypocriticalCopy !req
1417. lecture about
treating people decentlyCopy !req
1418. when you walk
around screamingCopy !req
1419. "Screw the world!"Copy !req
1420. because that's easier
than feeling something?Copy !req
1421. I think she'sCopy !req
1422. getting
too much sun.Copy !req
1423. You're probably right.Copy !req
1424. Maybe I'll go for a walk,
get some fresh air.Copy !req
1425. Oh, look out.Copy !req
1426. Can't you stay
another week?Copy !req
1427. My classes start on Monday.Copy !req
1428. I have to go.Copy !req
1429. I just...Copy !req
1430. I feel like...Copy !req
1431. I know. Me, too.Copy !req
1432. I love you, Lena.Copy !req
1433. Lena!Copy !req
1434. Kostas!Copy !req
1435. Lena!Copy !req
1436. He makes you drunk.Copy !req
1437. It was nothing.Copy !req
1438. We wereCopy !req
1439. just dancing!Copy !req
1440. You make
promise to me.Copy !req
1441. Does that mean nothing
to you, too, huh?Copy !req
1442. Does not mean nothing to breakCopy !req
1443. the hearts of
those who love you?Copy !req
1444. You call that... nothing?Copy !req
1445. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1446. In this life,Copy !req
1447. family is the most
precious giftCopy !req
1448. we are given...Copy !req
1449. the most sacred.Copy !req
1450. Turn your back on them,Copy !req
1451. and that is when
you truly have nothing.Copy !req
1452. It happened just how
I always imagined it would,Copy !req
1453. so why do I feel this way,
Lena?Copy !req
1454. How can somethingCopy !req
1455. that's supposed
to make you feel so completeCopy !req
1456. end up leaving you so empty?Copy !req
1457. I just wish so much
I could talk to my mom.Copy !req
1458. I need her...
and that scares me.Copy !req
1459. Mom, I... I told youCopy !req
1460. I can't baby-sit today...
Bailey and I have an inter...Copy !req
1461. Bailey's in the hospital,
sweetheart.Copy !req
1462. Her mom called.Copy !req
1463. Honey, she's...
she's not doing well.Copy !req
1464. Oh.Copy !req
1465. It's Bethesda
Memorial.Copy !req
1466. I tried
calling you.Copy !req
1467. Come on, I'll-I'll-I'll
drive you over to see her.Copy !req
1468. That's okay,
I'll, um...Copy !req
1469. I'll go by there if I...
if I have time.Copy !req
1470. MAN
But, I mean, if you're, like,Copy !req
1471. shooting squirrels
or something like...Copy !req
1472. I am mad at my dad.Copy !req
1473. I am mad... at my dad.Copy !req
1474. Why is that so hard
for me to say, Tibby?Copy !req
1475. I have no problem
being mad at you.Copy !req
1476. I noticed.Copy !req
1477. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1478. I'm so sorry, Tibby.Copy !req
1479. What I said...
it was not nice.Copy !req
1480. It was... it was
awful, and I'm sorry.Copy !req
1481. Well, maybe sometimes
it's easier to be...Copy !req
1482. mad at the people
you trust.Copy !req
1483. Why? Why? Why is that?Copy !req
1484. 'Cause you know they'll
always love you, no matter what.Copy !req
1485. Hmm?Copy !req
1486. Well, your mom told me
about your friend Bailey.Copy !req
1487. Yeah. Bailey.Copy !req
1488. Yeah. She's not
really my friend.Copy !req
1489. Well, you know, I mean, yeah...Copy !req
1490. yeah, a little,
but, you know, she's 12.Copy !req
1491. Your letters...
they made her sound like, um...Copy !req
1492. Oh, she drives you crazy.Copy !req
1493. I mean, we'll be doing
interviews, right,Copy !req
1494. talking to people,Copy !req
1495. and she'll just jump in
out of nowhereCopy !req
1496. and start asking
these questions.Copy !req
1497. She just asks them anything
she wants about their livesCopy !req
1498. like she's trying to get
to know them or something.Copy !req
1499. Well, is she goingCopy !req
1500. to be okay?Copy !req
1501. I don't know.Copy !req
1502. I don't know.Copy !req
1503. Papou!Copy !req
1504. I need to say
something to you.Copy !req
1505. You can pretend that
you don't understand me,Copy !req
1506. but I know you do.Copy !req
1507. People have always said
to me that I...Copy !req
1508. that I take after Yia Yia,Copy !req
1509. that I have her
face and her smile,Copy !req
1510. but what no one
ever sees is that...Copy !req
1511. there's this whole other part
of me that is just like you:Copy !req
1512. quiet and... and stubbornCopy !req
1513. and afraid of
showing too much.Copy !req
1514. And then I met someone
who changedCopy !req
1515. everything, and he
showed me that I canCopy !req
1516. take a chance, even if it'sCopy !req
1517. only for a moment.
Lena.Copy !req
1518. Shh!Copy !req
1519. You had
that same moment once,Copy !req
1520. when you met Yia YiaCopy !req
1521. and you risked everything
for it.Copy !req
1522. That was your chance,
Papou, and I'm askingCopy !req
1523. now to have mine.Copy !req
1524. Go.Copy !req
1525. Kostas!Copy !req
1526. Kostas!Copy !req
1527. I thought I'd never
see you again.Copy !req
1528. I love you.Copy !req
1529. We need to get
this box style...Copy !req
1530. Be right back.Copy !req
1531. Hello.Copy !req
1532. Hello?Copy !req
1533. Dad? It's Carmen.Copy !req
1534. Um...Copy !req
1535. I'm glad you called.Copy !req
1536. Um...Copy !req
1537. I just...Copy !req
1538. I want...Copy !req
1539. It's-It's all right;
you-you don't...Copy !req
1540. you don't have to apologize,
sweetheart.Copy !req
1541. You were... upset. I know.Copy !req
1542. Um, no, Dad,
you don't know.Copy !req
1543. That's just it.Copy !req
1544. You've never known,Copy !req
1545. because I've never
been able to tell you.Copy !req
1546. T-T-Tell me what?Copy !req
1547. That I'm angry with you, Dad.Copy !req
1548. This entire thing about you
and Lydia and, and the kids...Copy !req
1549. It's my fault.Copy !req
1550. I-I... I should've told you
about them... before,Copy !req
1551. and I'm-I'm... I'm sorry.Copy !req
1552. Yeah, you should've warned me,
but it's more than that.Copy !req
1553. It's... It's the factCopy !req
1554. that you've found
yourself this new family,Copy !req
1555. and I feel like some outsiderCopy !req
1556. who doesn't even
belong to you anymore.Copy !req
1557. It's like you
traded me and Mom inCopy !req
1558. for something that you
thought was better,Copy !req
1559. and I want to know why.Copy !req
1560. Are you ashamed of me?Copy !req
1561. Are you embarrassed?Copy !req
1562. Just tell me, Dad,
what did I do wrong?Copy !req
1563. Why did you leave?Copy !req
1564. Why did you have to goCopy !req
1565. and then tell me
that we were going to be closer,Copy !req
1566. but that never happened?Copy !req
1567. Dad, why does Paul visit
his alcoholic dad every month,Copy !req
1568. but you only visit me
twice a year?Copy !req
1569. And I know
you-you just seem so happyCopy !req
1570. about being Paul
and Krista's dad,Copy !req
1571. but you never even had
the time to be mine.Copy !req
1572. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1573. I'm-I'm so sorry.Copy !req
1574. I wish that were enough, Dad.Copy !req
1575. Where's your little friend
these days?Copy !req
1576. Kind of got used
to having her hanging around.Copy !req
1577. Couple of weeks ago,
she saw I was havingCopy !req
1578. a bad time of it...Copy !req
1579. asked me
if I wanted to talk.Copy !req
1580. She's kind of special
that way, huh?Copy !req
1581. Dear Tibby,Copy !req
1582. my heart is too full
to write about it just now,Copy !req
1583. and you won't believe
I'm saying this,Copy !req
1584. but I really think
the pants did bring this to me.Copy !req
1585. We were right all along, Tibby.Copy !req
1586. The pants are magic.Copy !req
1587. And I know
that if you let them,Copy !req
1588. they'll bring you some, too.Copy !req
1589. All my love. Lena.Copy !req
1590. It's about time you showed up.Copy !req
1591. What's, uh, what's that?Copy !req
1592. That's Dragon's Lair.Copy !req
1593. Brian came by yesterday
and dropped it off.Copy !req
1594. He said it wasn't as good
as the real thing,Copy !req
1595. but at least
it'd keep me practicing.Copy !req
1596. He helped me getCopy !req
1597. to level ten...Copy !req
1598. the one where the castle's
under siege.Copy !req
1599. That's cool.Copy !req
1600. He's a pretty decent guy,
Brian is.Copy !req
1601. Yeah, he is.Copy !req
1602. Oh, man, you were right,
and I was wrong,Copy !req
1603. but I'm... I'm wrong
about most people, so...Copy !req
1604. The important thing is...Copy !req
1605. you always change
your mind about 'em.Copy !req
1606. I brought
something for you.Copy !req
1607. The traveling pants.Copy !req
1608. Yeah. I just... I just got 'em
back from Lena.Copy !req
1609. The one in Greece?Copy !req
1610. Yeah, um... she said
that we were right all along,Copy !req
1611. that they
really are magic, and...Copy !req
1612. I don't know the details,
but I do know Lena,Copy !req
1613. and for her to say that
means that, um...Copy !req
1614. that it must be true.Copy !req
1615. So I-I was thinking,Copy !req
1616. you know, maybe you could,
um, have them for awhile.Copy !req
1617. They didn't fit me, remember?Copy !req
1618. Yeah, I know.Copy !req
1619. I know, but that doesn't
really matter.Copy !req
1620. You know.Copy !req
1621. None of it
really matters.Copy !req
1622. Listen, you-you have
to take them, Bailey.Copy !req
1623. Okay? You have to
let them help you.Copy !req
1624. Please.Copy !req
1625. I know that you're
tired, okay,Copy !req
1626. but you can't
give up.Copy !req
1627. These pants will give you
a miracle.Copy !req
1628. You-You just...
you have to believe.Copy !req
1629. Tibby...Copy !req
1630. the pantsCopy !req
1631. have already worked
their magic on me.Copy !req
1632. They brought me to you.Copy !req
1633. I want... you
to do something for me.Copy !req
1634. What?Copy !req
1635. Finish your movie.Copy !req
1636. Why?Copy !req
1637. Because you can.Copy !req
1638. Hello.Copy !req
1639. I'll let her know.Copy !req
1640. Painted the porch.Copy !req
1641. Say, what do you say
we go to Mario'sCopy !req
1642. to celebrate
your homecoming?Copy !req
1643. Maybe later, Dad.Copy !req
1644. I'm pretty tired
from the trip.Copy !req
1645. Hey, it's me, Bailey.Copy !req
1646. You don't have to use this
in your movie or anything,Copy !req
1647. although now
that I think of it,Copy !req
1648. fainting in Wallmans does
kind of qualify me as a loser.Copy !req
1649. But then again, wearing
a price sticker on your foreheadCopy !req
1650. probably makes you one, too.Copy !req
1651. You know, I don't know, Tibby.Copy !req
1652. Maybe the truth is
there's a little bit of loserCopy !req
1653. in all of us, you know?Copy !req
1654. Being happy isn't
having everythingCopy !req
1655. in your life be perfect.Copy !req
1656. Maybe it's about
stringing togetherCopy !req
1657. all the little things...Copy !req
1658. like wearing these pants or...Copy !req
1659. getting to a new level
of Dragon's Lair...Copy !req
1660. making those count for more
than the bad stuff.Copy !req
1661. Maybe we just get through it...Copy !req
1662. and that's all we can ask for.Copy !req
1663. Hello.Copy !req
1664. Carmen, it's Lena.Copy !req
1665. I-I have to talk
to you about something.Copy !req
1666. Hey, don't you answer
your phone anymore?Copy !req
1667. Carmen, I really
don't have time...Copy !req
1668. Tib, Bridget
needs us.Copy !req
1669. Shh...Copy !req
1670. What?Copy !req
1671. Hey!Copy !req
1672. See? I told you the smell of
junk food would wake her up.Copy !req
1673. We have invited ourselves over
for a sleep-over.Copy !req
1674. But it seems you are
already... asleep.Copy !req
1675. Yeah.Copy !req
1676. I feel so tired.Copy !req
1677. Well, then...
you should talk to us,Copy !req
1678. so that we...Copy !req
1679. can fix this.Copy !req
1680. This is the
perfect pizza.Copy !req
1681. It's the bacon.Copy !req
1682. I think it's the olives.Copy !req
1683. The bacon.Copy !req
1684. Honestly, you two.
Maggie! What...Copy !req
1685. Maggie, no!Copy !req
1686. Hey.Copy !req
1687. You know who would
have loved this, B?Copy !req
1688. Your mom.Copy !req
1689. Yeah.Copy !req
1690. I remember this one time,
she decided that, um,Copy !req
1691. that she'd make one herself.Copy !req
1692. She always
woke up starvingCopy !req
1693. after one of
her episodes.Copy !req
1694. I was just sitting
in the kitchenCopy !req
1695. doing my homework, and...Copy !req
1696. she just walked in and just...Copy !req
1697. started making this... thing.Copy !req
1698. You know, I
don't even knowCopy !req
1699. if you could
call it a pizza.Copy !req
1700. It was more like
the entire contentsCopy !req
1701. of our refrigerator
on a round crust.Copy !req
1702. Craziest part is,Copy !req
1703. we actually ate it.Copy !req
1704. 'Course you did.Copy !req
1705. We ateCopy !req
1706. every single bit
of that pizzaCopy !req
1707. in, like, ten minutes.Copy !req
1708. Yeah.Copy !req
1709. And we were laughing
the whole time.Copy !req
1710. It was great.Copy !req
1711. I remember
thinking thatCopy !req
1712. maybe there won't be
any more bad spells,Copy !req
1713. maybe she'll
just be happyCopy !req
1714. like this forever.Copy !req
1715. It's okay to miss her, B.Copy !req
1716. I mean, as hard as it is
to be sad about it,Copy !req
1717. don't you think maybe
it's harder not to be?Copy !req
1718. You don't understand.Copy !req
1719. Bridge...Copy !req
1720. I can't.Copy !req
1721. It hurts too much.Copy !req
1722. I know.Copy !req
1723. No, you don't know.Copy !req
1724. You just want to feel good
and happy and alive.Copy !req
1725. 'Cause...Copy !req
1726. if I feel alive...Copy !req
1727. it doesn't seem
like she's dead.Copy !req
1728. And...
if I'm not sad,Copy !req
1729. then... it proves
that I'm not like her.Copy !req
1730. You don't have to prove that
to anybody.Copy !req
1731. I mean, you have a strength
in you that your mom never had.Copy !req
1732. As much as she wanted to,
she couldn't find it.Copy !req
1733. And you have
something else, too.Copy !req
1734. What?Copy !req
1735. You have us.Copy !req
1736. We're not gonna let
you go anywhere, okay?Copy !req

Yeah.Copy !req
1756. So, um, what are
you doing here?Copy !req
1757. I was looking for you,
actually.Copy !req
1758. Oh, yeah, we're on
Hobart Place, not Street.Copy !req
1759. It's really confusing.Copy !req
1760. Yeah, that would do it.Copy !req
1761. That would do it.Copy !req
1762. So I'm on my way
back to Columbia.Copy !req
1763. It's not exactly nearby.Copy !req
1764. No, it's not exactly nearby.Copy !req
1765. I just want to say
that what happened between us...Copy !req
1766. was my fault.Copy !req
1767. Your fault?Copy !req
1768. Not fault.Copy !req
1769. My responsibility.Copy !req
1770. I should've known better.
It's just...Copy !req
1771. Well, I didn't exactly
tell you to slow down.Copy !req
1772. Problem is...Copy !req
1773. I wanted it for all
the wrong reasons.Copy !req
1774. And all the thingsCopy !req
1775. that I was trying
to run away fromCopy !req
1776. just ended up catching up
with me that much sooner.Copy !req
1777. Anyway, friends.Copy !req
1778. Hey, friends.Copy !req
1779. Mm... when you're 20Copy !req
1780. and, um, probably
a soccer starCopy !req
1781. at some huge collegeCopy !req
1782. and there's a million guys
after you,Copy !req
1783. promise me
you'll give me a shot.Copy !req
1784. Deal.Copy !req
1785. All right.Copy !req
1786. Thank you.Copy !req
1787. Take care.Copy !req
1788. You, too.Copy !req
1789. Oh...Copy !req
1790. My...Copy !req

1792. Lena, look at you.Copy !req
1793. You're all here.Copy !req
1794. I missed you so much.Copy !req
1795. B, I am so sorry.Copy !req
1796. When I found your letter,
I tried to come sooner.Copy !req
1797. Do you forgive me?Copy !req
1798. Forgive you?
Who the hell are you?Copy !req
1799. Hey, I wasn't sure
I'd see you here.Copy !req
1800. I thought maybe
you'd change your mindCopy !req
1801. about your
dad's wedding.Copy !req
1802. Nope.Copy !req
1803. Which is why we decided
we'd change it for her.Copy !req
1804. Yeah, Carmen,
how about a little road trip?Copy !req
1805. What are you talking about?Copy !req
1806. Come on...
No!Copy !req
1807. No, no...Copy !req
1808. It's your father's wedding.
Carmen, stop.Copy !req
1809. Don't you think it's important
for you to be there?Copy !req
1810. Absolutely.
Lena, if it was that important,Copy !req
1811. then my dad would
pick up the phoneCopy !req
1812. and tell me that himself.Copy !req
1813. Well, maybe
he's still recoveringCopy !req
1814. from the last conversation
you had.Copy !req
1815. I'm not sure that was
entirely helpful, Tibby.Copy !req
1816. I'm just saying,
you know, parents screw up.Copy !req
1817. It's what they're good at.Copy !req
1818. And it's up to usCopy !req
1819. to see the things
that they can't.Copy !req
1820. Yeah, well, he's going to
throw me out of the wedding.Copy !req
1821. He's not going to throw
you out of the wedding.Copy !req
1822. No, he's not.
That's so overdramatic.Copy !req
1823. And if he does, we'll
be there for you.Copy !req
1824. Don't worry about it.Copy !req
1825. What aren't you guys
understanding?Copy !req
1826. I am not going...
Let's go.Copy !req
1827. You are going
to this wedding!Copy !req
1828. So this is the view
from my window.Copy !req
1829. And these
are my cousins' donkeys.Copy !req
1830. This is George and George Jr.Copy !req
1831. My grandparents,
caldera.Copy !req
1832. Oh, God,
forget the caldera.Copy !req
1833. I want to see the guy.Copy !req
1834. Yeah, where's the boy?Copy !req
1835. I'm sneaking in the backCopy !req
1836. once the ceremony begins.Copy !req
1837. You know the caldera's
actually the top of a volcano...Copy !req
1838. Okay, Lena...Copy !req
1839. Once the ceremony's
done, we're leaving.Copy !req
1840. Look.
We're not hanging around.Copy !req
1841. Oh, my God.Copy !req
1842. Lena!
I know.Copy !req
1843. Isn't he gorgeous?Copy !req
1844. I was referring to
you holding a fish.Copy !req
1845. Oh, you know what?
Hey, hey.Copy !req
1846. Hey, no fair
attacking the driver.Copy !req
1847. Stop. Oh, my gosh.Copy !req
1848. Is it fair to
bribe the driverCopy !req
1849. to turn around
and go back home?Copy !req
1850. Oh, yeah, with what money,Copy !req
1851. 'cause Tibby is the only one
of us working this summer.Copy !req
1852. Hey, hey, hey.Copy !req
1853. I actually stocked my
last shelf at Wallmans.Copy !req
1854. Thank you very much.
Congratulations.Copy !req
1855. Wait, so does this mean
there's going to beCopy !req
1856. a ceremonial burning
of the smock?Copy !req
1857. No, no. Actually,
Duncan took the smock.Copy !req
1858. But I do have
my name tag.Copy !req
1859. Can we burn it?Copy !req
1860. Hey, how did your suck-umentary
turn out?Copy !req
1861. Uh... uh...
well, it actually evolvedCopy !req
1862. into something quite differentCopy !req
1863. than I expected, so...Copy !req
1864. What are you going
to call it?Copy !req
1865. Mm...Copy !req
1866. "Bailey."Copy !req
1867. Carmabelle, come on.Copy !req
1868. We're going to be late.Copy !req
1869. What is she doing in there?Copy !req
1870. Carmen?Copy !req
1871. I changed my mind, guys.Copy !req
1872. I can't do this.Copy !req
1873. Yes, you can.Copy !req
1874. No, Lena, I can't.Copy !req
1875. Carmen?Copy !req
1876. What?
Carmen, please come out.Copy !req
1877. I promise you,
everything's going to be okay.Copy !req
1878. B, how do you know that?Copy !req
1879. 'Cause of what I'm holding.Copy !req
1880. Wear them.Copy !req
1881. They'll make you brave.Copy !req
1882. B, I can't wear a pair
of jeans to a wedding.Copy !req
1883. And besides,
your week isn't up.Copy !req
1884. Well, rule number 11:Copy !req
1885. In the event
of an emergency,Copy !req
1886. the pants will
automatically goCopy !req
1887. to the sister in need,Copy !req
1888. regardless of
the schedule.Copy !req
1889. B, there is no
rule number 11.Copy !req
1890. Well, I think
there should be.Copy !req
1891. And I'm invoking it now.Copy !req
1892. Yeah, that sounds likeCopy !req
1893. a really good rule to me,
actually.Copy !req
1894. Yeah. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
1895. So, um,Copy !req
1896. are you going to
put them on yourself,Copy !req
1897. are we going to have
to do it for you?Copy !req
1898. Come on.Copy !req
1899. Dearly beloved,Copy !req
1900. we are assembled here
in the presence of GodCopy !req
1901. and these witnessesCopy !req
1902. to celebrate the joining
of this man and this womanCopy !req
1903. in the unity of marriage.Copy !req
1904. Um, sorry, could you
hold that thought...Copy !req
1905. for one minute?Copy !req
1906. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1907. There's an important
member of our familyCopy !req
1908. who should be
up here with us.Copy !req
1909. My daughter.Copy !req
1910. Carmen?Copy !req
1911. Dad, I'm not...
I'm not dressed. I...Copy !req
1912. I need you.Copy !req
1913. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1914. I gotta get married.Copy !req
1915. Okay.Copy !req
1916. Sorry.Copy !req
1917. You can go ahead.Copy !req
1918. Dearly beloved,Copy !req
1919. we are assembled hereCopy !req
1920. in the presence of God
and these witnessesCopy !req
1921. to celebrate the joining
of this man and this womanCopy !req
1922. in the unity of marriage.Copy !req
1923. There are no
obligations on earthCopy !req
1924. sweeter or tenderer
than those...Copy !req
1925. It would be easy to sayCopy !req
1926. that the pants
changed everything that summer.Copy !req
1927. But looking back now,Copy !req
1928. I feel like our lives changed
because they had to,Copy !req
1929. and that
the real magic of the pantsCopy !req
1930. was in bearing witness
to all of thisCopy !req
1931. and in somehow
holding us togetherCopy !req
1932. when it felt like nothing
would ever be the same again.Copy !req
1933. Some things never would be.Copy !req
1934. But we knew now that no matter
how far we traveledCopy !req
1935. on our own separate paths...Copy !req
1936. Somehow we would always find
our way back to each other.Copy !req
1937. And with that,
we could get through anything.Copy !req
1938. To us...Copy !req
1939. who we were and who we are,
and who we'll be.Copy !req
1940. To the pants...Copy !req
1941. And the sisterhood.Copy !req
1942. And this moment
and the rest of our lives.Copy !req
1943. Together and apart.Copy !req
