gonna do about rob well um we haven't made decisions yet about exactly what we're gonna do you're referring to yourself and rob as we you two are a we now oh i think you had better rethink that little pronoun you asked i answered i know rob i've known him a long long time and i don't care how he's acting or what he's told you right now in his heart of hearts he knows better we is in your imagination we is not even a possibility would you look at me please stop this please you know it's wrong i didn't raise a daughter who wouldn't know how wrong this is i couldn't have done that mom this is a big red flag dana this behavior after breaking up with that jason kidd throwing yourself into something like this i really worry about the way your life is headed mom you can't control where your life is headed okay no one can and i can't turn off emotions just because they're complicated and neither can rob you're not thinking clearly do you have any idea how how many people's lives you're playing around with mother you listen to me i am not playing you are acting like i planned this whole thing okay well i did not mean for any of this to happen oh i got news for you that line is

think that that doesn't affect me i say something you can say whether or not it's true because that's really all i'm interested in hearing is it true what about telling the truth to people huh what about that what about a man's reputation is all he'll ever have it's all this crap no no it's not crap well if you're having an affair it's crap it's disgusting do you want to hear what i have to say

sports car and gotten a few speeding tickets you know i'm uh i'm used to defending other people and i'm not exactly sure if it's appropriate for me to ask you this but considering 20 years of highly commended service for this firm what happened today should simply be overlooked it's overlooked thank you would it be appropriate for me to remind you that you're very close to being made the next senior partner in this firm and i would truly hate to see anything happen to you on the verge of such hard-earned success yes i think that's appropriate [Music] i didn't do anything you have to come home what happened paul i'm going to get fired if i'm getting fired oh terrific i'll tell them yeah are you all right yeah i'm just sorting some things out so what are we gonna do i don't know i i think um well you know it's already been done hasn't it i mean isn't it just what formalities rob would know more about this than i i never thought i guess these things happen i i just don't know about these things so that's it it's like over do we know who she is eric i don't i'd like to talk to her paul i i don't want to know who she is i don't want to talk about her but mom i i don't want

don't worry all right i told mom i'd be coming home tonight anyway i stop and control my things in the garage so or i could call her and tell her i'll be home in the morning if you need me to stay no

she is dana you have history you'll excuse me i thought of a lot of things that i wanted to say to you things that i wanted to call you stuff like that but that's not productive really i guess i just i wanted to i wanted you to have a chance to see my face so that you could have a face to go along with all the pain that you've caused i guess that's all [Music] so [Music] i remember when amanda used to drop paul and eric off we'd pay you to watch them while we went shopping or whatever [Music] eric would always beg you to read toady to him read toady he'd say where's cody what was that a picture book version of wind in the willows time flies doesn't it would have thought [Music] mom could not talk about this all right why don't i just make dinner we'll be very waspy and we'll have dinner and not talk about anything [Music] hey hey hey how are you this morning okay how are you great we made breakfast for you is that your way of telling me i'm spending too much time in my room no

shopping carts i just need you see i i just want anything i would like to talk about yeah good very good you made another mess how surprising what's that supposed to mean your daughter is sleeping with my husband it's almost incest and you don't know what i mean when i say mess i'm not responsible for whatever oh oh don't tell me that parents are not responsible for what their children do that is what's wrong with this entire country you know the truth is that once mike died you just cut yourself off completely emotionally from the rest of the world and the result is your daughter is a walking time bomb best thing i can say for you that you should just get into family therapy therapy yeah preferably with a psychiatrist well maybe we can go see whoever you use as a marriage counselor i have not used a marriage counselor obviously well hindsight is 20 20 as they say okay you you are just the most what what what am i going to do jealous person i have ever known jealous jealous of what what am i supposed to be genuine ease joan grace dignity discipline and quality of life and maybe the fact i have managed to raise better children oh really you think you raise better children yes i do aha well your husband seems to disagree with you [Music] [Applause] mom go in the car you okay hey you okay i don't know [Music] what did you say something [Applause] [Music] awful hi hey i was thinking we should go out to eat oh we could order room service you know i'm not really very hungry to tell you the truth all right well um what then i mean do you want to just sit in here all night and do nothing i am trying to be understanding this is difficult it's very difficult you know i've been thinking and um we needed to talk about this oh did you uh sit down please i've been thinking and i have obviously made some very serious mistakes i started out with the best of intentions wanting to help you and even when i realized that i was starting to feel more than i should i thought it could be controlled into some sort of platonic relationship especially since you seem to need me so much can you understand that how powerful that is to feel someone needs you i do need you i know you do and it means a lot to me i want you to go on needing me and i want to continue to be there for you to help you but not i'm sorry just a second hey hey uh mom thought you might need some of these things i'm gonna bring them inside oh no no it's okay just uh just i guess they came at a bad time huh it's good to see you yeah yeah well i won't keep you since you got go wait wait just a

coming i know how much you'd rather not be here no you don't would you like something to drink could we have a minute please we have a cobb salad with vinaigrette and club soda sure order something fast i'm not gonna sit here and chat i'll have what she's having okay first i i want you to know that it's over between dana and me it's done why am i supposed to be grateful am i supposed to hear this huge sigh of relief and say how glad i am no i just i i wanted you to know that i'm sorry i've realized how very wrong i've been you betray me you humiliate me you lie to me you take my soul and shatter it and you think you can change all that by stopping oh you have no idea no idea how badly you hurt me there's nothing i can do to retaliate there's there's no way i can punish you without causing more of this nightmare it's a lying rod the lying alone amanda listen to me people lie people lie all the time i mean big lies little lies men lie to their wives wives lie to their husbands children lie their parents parents lie to their kids you know that as well as i do don't say it like it's so remarkable there's nothing more common in the world than lying i am sitting here with you now because i'm not lying it stopped no it isn't that's not why you're sitting here you're sitting here because you're sleeping with my best friend's daughter excuse me but there's a limit to how big a fool i'm willing to be i'm not gonna do this mom oh mom don't cry i saw your father today and i got so angry i didn't say what i wanted to say do you want to talk about anything no i want to talk to my children about this stuff i'm good guys i pretty much know everything i want to yeah me too no i surprised me when i get so angry i'm not used to it i'll say this i'd be surprised to live in daylights out of joan oh yeah i already smacked her didn't i yeah but she said some wild stuff though didn't she i mean she was getting crazy she was taking groceries out of her cart yeah i never think they like it really she can be weird no don't say that about john oh you said worse things well i can say what i want she's my friend okay oh my god what where am i keys i gotta go to the mall i'll take you i'm perfectly capable of going to the mall you're upset you shouldn't drive i'll go with you how's driving with you gonna make me feel comfortable i'm going with you the problem is almost everything here is non-refundable how about the hotel room deposit well you see most of these places because you chose really popular well are you i mean you've got some really great places to stay and they're booked fully in advance and they charge a hefty cancellation fee she hasn't canceled not that i know of it's not marked i see if she comes in you can cancel together can you call her and and see what she wants to do oh um uh well uh yeah sure okay and then you can call me and we'll cancel everything at one time all right well um when you're ready to reschedule yeah yeah i i could just rebook couldn't i i could just go another time do a tour or a group or something like that i i could do that i could i could just go almost anywhere [Music] you missed our exit well we're not going home uh i don't see why i don't just call him first nope you're just gonna get up out of the car and go up there that's right wait wait mom mom you don't have a gun anything weird like that on you do you what are you talking about just checking no this is nelson how are you fine lovely and yourself um fine thanks i'll let him know you're here well i really lost my temper oh it was appropriate it's just that god robbie made me feel so stupid i always felt i'd know if you were doing what you were doing you know you were always such a lousy liar i thought you were now you're pretty good at it i was completely fooled i know you're sorry it's just that i i still have all these feelings for you and i don't know how on earth i'm going to trust you again if you don't have that i mean what do we have what's left without that you know about a half an hour ago i realized that i could pretty much go anywhere i wanted any place in the world and then i stood there and thought about it and i realized the one place i wanted to go wasn't there anymore it was my life before this happened give a tissue or something i'm not sniffling because i'm feeling sorry for myself i'm having an emotional day so i didn't get very far at lunch no so why don't you call me tomorrow night [Music] i'll be calmer maybe i'll be calmer don't look puffy i don't want to walk out of here

of the house yeah okay fine his name is on the d to the house but not the home paul i have mixed feelings about this too you know but sometimes when people make mistakes and you love them then you have to give them an opportunity to make it right mistake is that what we're calling this now brother we at least come down and say hello have a nice time it's london broad on the fridge hey dad hey how are you okay we're ready it's just us all right well let's go um lobster okay with everybody uh seafood does it have to be well no okay we'll go italian how's that ah [Music] are we going to stay for dessert and coffee just relax relax this takes so long your mom tells me you had to quit your job well oh yeah job well with everything that happened tough break huh well i guess since i um sort of disrupted everything i should uh go ahead and buy that car i mean it's tough enough being a freshman without having to worry about transportation so yeah dad are you trying to bribe me into forgiving you or something uh partly isn't that wrong i mean don't you think that's sort of scummy i mean we're talking about a new car no no no no no no but we'll get you a really good used one wanna

about what makes sense for the future [Music] so i'll uh i'll talk to you tomorrow um okay [Music] good night good night i don't know why you have to go back to school this second classes don't start for months i mean i think this might be maybe one of those gestures you do now then it shouldn't be a gesture it's not a gesture besides you'll be gone in a couple of days anyway well why not stay at least until i get back from europe when i come back we can make up for some of this and look you know you don't want to make decisions for yourself too quickly you've got some things in your life you ought to look at actually mom i'm a little tired of myself so um have you heard from amanda not a word but you know now that the boys have left for school and she has some time on her hands time to think so what you're just going to sit around and wait for what choice do i have that's just not like you i'm perfectly capable of sitting around and waiting for i don't know what you're implying unless she canceled her ticket i don't know she hadn't as of yesterday incidentally this classic bit of misdirection you're doing i'm on to it we were talking about you i really messed things up didn't i yes you did this time i have to say you mess things up in a big way for a lot of people oh oh mama i am so sorry [Music] this whole year has been like a nightmare i've ruined everything i've ruined my whole life no honey you ruined your summer ruining your life takes a lot more consistent effort all right [Music] call me when you get there [Music] [Music] so amanda i saw you i know you're in there amanda open the damn door this has gone on long enough look i'm coming in anyway i know where the spare key is and i'm going to use it i'm serious amanda i have to talk to you and i'm going to talk to you if i have to scream all over the house joan i wish you would just leave i know you do i know how hard this has been for you i know this is not the kind of thing that happens to you i know all that but we have to get beyond it i mean i'm sorry for what i said to you at the market i'm sorry for slapping you i'm sorry for everything but john but but what we said some things that were mean and awful you hit me really hard i had a bruise and we should just move beyond it [Applause] you know what the problem is here there are several problems no not really there's only one as you pointed out to me not so long ago you've had a wonderful life your husband despite recent disgusting behavior has been pretty good overall your children are great the worst thing about your neighborhood is that sometimes the paper is delivered a little late and the rest of the world isn't like that not anymore maybe it was supposed to be when we were growing up the world we thought we were going to have it's been gone a long time and i don't think you're living here with the rest of us i think that's the problem a lost country what see i don't know what the boundaries are for this country rob lies to me and you lied to me and i'm supposed to adjust my values when was it decided that i'm supposed to lower my expectations that that behavior and and good conduct are expendable it was decided without our permission that's the way things are and now you have to decide if your standard of conduct is more important to you than i am since you brought up countries in five days the plane is taking off for europe and i'm gonna be on it i'm not canceling my trip i took the time off i saved the money to go and i'm going and i hope you'll come with me like everything is normal that's what i've been trying to get through your head this is all normal amanda what happened here between us is it's normal mess and dishonesty and people falling below your expectations that's all normal i don't believe that okay you can draw that line for yourself if you want that's a boundary but it's gonna cost you [Music] you know the real of it is i don't even remember where i'm going on this stupid trip it's your own fault you refused to pay attention well i'll send you a postcard from some lost country [Music] [Music] hmm [Music] all right yes through here to your right just straight back okay oh [Music] i got us [Music] you upgraded me so bad come on [Music] oh god oh thank god i knew you'd come if you knew i'd come why do you look so relieved well you didn't call i mean why didn't you call you should have called why make me worry so much gosh the seats are so much bigger hi i didn't call because i knew you were so certain i was gonna come oh you're snotty you've always been snotty i know it's those impossible standards of mine first class oh i know [Music] my oh this makes me so happy thank you oh this is so corny we're going to toast now aren't we yes yes i'm so glad you came i know all right we're going to gonna toast um i don't know um nothing profound no i want something relatively mean okay well then um the trip the trip and wherever we end up
