Hi, I'm the narrator.

2
00:00:42,575 --> 00:00:44,778
I'm here to provide facts
about Ella.

3
00:00:45,545 --> 00:00:47,614
But first, let me give you
what she would call

"full transparency."

5
00:00:50,383 --> 00:00:53,353
I've worked for her ever since
she finished law school,

6
00:00:53,353 --> 00:00:55,755
so I'm not exactly neutral.

7

Ella is the third youngest woman

- ELLA: Good morning, Aunt Helen.

162
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:28,401
- Ella, hi.
- Hi.

163
00:09:29,135 --> 00:09:32,739
I-I was just wondering if
I could, uh, come by in a bit.

164
00:09:32,739 --> 00:09:34,974
HELEN: Sure. Of course.
Everything okay?

165
00:09:35,475 --> 00:09:37,477
Uh, yeah, fine. Just, um...

166
00:09:38,111 --> 00:09:40,213
I just need some perspective
on something, is all.

167
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:42,582
Uh... Kind of a long story.
I'll tell you when I see you.

168
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:44,984
- (EXHALES SHARPLY)
- ELLA: On my way.

169
00:09:44,984 --> 00:09:46,119
All right, love you.

170
00:09:46,119 --> 00:09:47,454
Love you, too. Bye.

171
00:09:52,292 --> 00:09:54,940
Ma'am, the governor
wants to see you.

172
00:09:54,940 --> 00:09:55,895
He's across the street
in the phone room.

173
00:09:55,895 --> 00:09:56,930
Okay, thank you.

174
00:09:57,263 --> 00:09:58,598
ESTELLE (VO):
Ah, The phone room.

175

(LOUD CHATTER)

176
00:09:59,632 --> 00:10:02,736
ESTELLE (VO): These noisy rooms
exist because elected officials

are not allowed to use

178
00:10:04,137 --> 00:10:05,839
government offices
for fundraising.

179
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:06,840
Good morning.

180
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,675
Sorry to be calling you so
early. This is State Senator--

181
00:10:08,675 --> 00:10:09,642
(CLICKS, DIAL TONE)

182
00:10:09,642 --> 00:10:11,411
ESTELLE (VO): So their party
rents phone rooms,

183
00:10:11,411 --> 00:10:14,114
where they're expected
to put in at least seven

184
00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:16,950
solid hours a day
asking for money.

185
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:19,419
WOMAN: You contributed
2,000 dollars in the last cycle.

186
00:10:19,419 --> 00:10:20,487
ESTELLE (VO): And yes...

187
00:10:20,487 --> 00:10:21,755
I'll put you down
for five dollars.

188
00:10:21,755 --> 00:10:23,456
- ...that's crazy.
- Thank you.

189
00:10:23,456 --> 00:10:25,191
- MAN: ...for 50 dollars.
- WOMAN: Never been more crucial.

190
00:10:25,191 --> 00:10:26,192
WOMAN 2: Asking for
your continued support.

191
00:10:26,192 --> 00:10:27,127
WOMAN 3: ...35 dollars.

192
00:10:27,427 --> 00:10:29,129
Hi, it's Governor Bill Moore.

193
00:10:29,129 --> 00:10:30,930
ESTELLE (VO):
Governor Bill Moore,

00:10:30,930 --> 00:10:33,199
known affectionately
as Governor Bill.

195
00:10:34,340 --> 00:10:36,202
He and Ella go back a long way.

196
00:10:36,202 --> 00:10:37,337
She was his chief of staff

197
00:10:37,337 --> 00:10:40,400
when he was known affectionately
as Mayor Bill.

198
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,542
I'm just calling to thank you
for the...

199
00:10:42,942 --> 00:10:44,377
...500-dollar donation.

200
00:10:44,811 --> 00:10:45,779
Yes, ma'am.

201
00:10:46,212 --> 00:10:47,847
- How's, uh...

WHISPERS: Who's the husband?

203
00:10:48,782 --> 00:10:51,351
...Jerry doing? You still--
still okay over there?

204
00:10:51,785 --> 00:10:52,652
Excellent.

205
00:10:52,652 --> 00:10:55,155
And you got those two
strapping sons? Do you have--

206
00:10:55,555 --> 00:10:56,723
Daughter? Colleen.

207
00:10:56,723 --> 00:10:58,958
Of course.
Who could forget Colleen?

208
00:10:58,958 --> 00:11:01,561
She's gotta be, what, four?

209
00:11:01,561 --> 00:11:02,696
Medical school.

210
00:11:02,696 --> 00:11:04,364
All right, I'm gonna let you go.

211
00:11:04,364 --> 00:11:05,565
Thank you.

212
00:11:05,565 --> 00:11:08,702
Sorry for the mix-up.
We are all fools here.

213
00:11:09,135 --> 00:11:10,537
You see what I spare you from?

214
00:11:10,537 --> 00:11:12,672
I keep telling you
I'm glad to do it.

215
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:13,907
I like talking to voters.

216
00:11:13,907 --> 00:11:15,642
Yes and that's
why you're terrible at it.

217
00:11:15,642 --> 00:11:17,977
You were taking, like,
45 minutes a phone call.

218
00:11:17,977 --> 00:11:18,912
Walk with me.

219
00:11:18,912 --> 00:11:20,213
I want to tell you something.

220
00:11:20,213 --> 00:11:21,715
Stop the world.

221
00:11:21,715 --> 00:11:23,516
- Whoa! Whoa!

222

MAN 2:
We love you, Governor Bill!

224
00:11:27,754 --> 00:11:31,240
So, what I'm gonna tell you,
you can't tell anyone.

225
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:31,925
Okay.

226
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,561
It's happening.

227
00:11:35,395 --> 00:11:36,396
The Cabinet.

228
00:11:36,396 --> 00:11:38,598
Secretary of the Interior.

229
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:41,334
- I made the short list.
- (GASPS) Oh.

230
00:11:41,334 --> 00:11:42,736
I should hear any time now.

231
00:11:42,736 --> 00:11:46,720
And you should prepare
to maybe replace me.

232
00:11:48,742 --> 00:11:50,110
Congratulations.

233
00:11:52,579 --> 00:11:53,413
Something wrong?

234
00:11:54,180 --> 00:11:55,548
- Well--
- With what I've got pending,

235
00:11:55,548 --> 00:11:59,219
if anything is wrong, I really
need not to know it, okay?

236
00:11:59,786 --> 00:12:01,210
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

237
00:12:02,956 --> 00:12:04,357
ESTELLE (VO):
What was wrong

238
00:12:04,357 --> 00:12:06,626
is that politics
is the only profession

239
00:12:06,626 --> 00:12:09,763
where people can drown
in puddles.

240
00:12:09,763 --> 00:12:12,198
And Ella was stepping
into something

241
00:12:12,198 --> 00:12:14,670
a lot bigger than a puddle.

242

- HELEN: Hi.
- ELLA: Hi.

243
00:12:15,201 --> 00:12:16,436
Why are you waiting out
in the cold?

244
00:12:16,436 --> 00:12:17,771
Why did you need to see me?

245
00:12:18,405 --> 00:12:21,374
I have a... (CLEARS THROAT)
seriously ridiculous,

246
00:12:21,374 --> 00:12:22,876
ridiculously serious problem,

247
00:12:22,876 --> 00:12:24,911
and you're the only one
I can tell.

248
00:12:25,412 --> 00:12:26,413
What's going on?

249
00:12:26,413 --> 00:12:28,481
I'm about to add
to your problems, Ella.

250
00:12:29,149 --> 00:12:30,717
Your father's here.

251
00:12:32,952 --> 00:12:34,621
- In there? Now?
- Yes.

252
00:12:34,621 --> 00:12:36,890
- Why?
- He wants to see you.

253
00:12:36,890 --> 00:12:37,257
(GASPS)

254
00:12:37,257 --> 00:12:39,920
But, you know what? We can just
go to the apartment if you want.

255
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:40,960
- Yes.
- Or-- Or...

256
00:12:41,294 --> 00:12:44,564
Or you could just pop in for
a second, just as a favor to me.

257
00:12:44,564 --> 00:12:45,965
I mean,
I hate to put it that way.

258
00:12:45,965 --> 00:12:48,902
It's just the best manipulation
I can think of at the moment.

259
00:12:49,803 --> 00:12:51,604
Okay. Can I have a minute?

260
00:12:51,604 --> 00:12:52,906
Oh, yeah, of course.
Oh, yeah, yeah.

261
00:12:52,906 --> 00:12:54,341
- Yeah.
- Okay.

262
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,647
- I--

(EXHALES)

264
00:13:07,654 --> 00:13:11,124
ESTELLE (VO): Sixteen years ago,
the worst day.

265
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:14,828
Her mother's funeral.

266
00:13:15,662 --> 00:13:18,264

It means a lot.

HELEN: I don't know.

270
00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:26,873
Stop thinking the worst all the
time. You're not always right.

271
00:13:29,542 --> 00:13:31,378
Your mother was a lovely woman.

272
00:13:31,378 --> 00:13:34,140
But thank the Lord
you have your father to lean on.

273
00:13:34,140 --> 00:13:35,882

00:13:35,882 --> 00:13:37,884
and very possibly meaning well.

277
00:13:45,158 --> 00:13:46,192
ELLA: Sure missed you.

278
00:13:46,192 --> 00:13:48,328
Yes, but you don't have to
write me so often.

279
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:49,562
What does that mean?

280
00:13:49,562 --> 00:13:51,197
'Cause then I have to
write you back,

281
00:13:51,197 --> 00:13:52,532
and there's always
so much schoolwork.

282

You don't have to write me back
each time I write you.

00:13:54,534 --> 00:13:55,902
It feels like I should.

284
00:13:55,902 --> 00:13:58,204
To me it feels right now like we
should cry together about Mom.

285
00:13:58,672 --> 00:14:00,400
I'm not going to cry.

286
00:14:01,740 --> 00:14:02,750
Sorry.

287
00:14:02,509 --> 00:14:03,677
It's okay.

00:14:03,677 --> 00:14:04,911
I really need to.

Not even Aunt Helen.

- You know what, Dad?

320
00:15:48,782 --> 00:15:49,949
- I know, I can understand--
- No.

321
00:15:49,949 --> 00:15:51,184
I can understand how,

322
00:15:51,184 --> 00:15:52,686
since we haven't done this
in a while,

323
00:15:52,686 --> 00:15:56,122
you may want to sort of
reconnect or whatever.

324
00:15:56,122 --> 00:15:59,626
But really, please, really...
no more apologies.

325
00:15:59,626 --> 00:16:01,361
HELEN:
Eddie. You said you understood.

326
00:16:01,361 --> 00:16:03,630
You promised not to be yourself.

327
00:16:03,630 --> 00:16:06,366
Your aunt wanted me
to just break the ice today

328
00:16:06,366 --> 00:16:09,836
and wait till later on
to get around to why it is

329
00:16:09,836 --> 00:16:11,371
I needed to see you.

330
00:16:11,371 --> 00:16:12,706
But you're too smart for that.

331
00:16:12,706 --> 00:16:14,341
No, you're too dumb for that.

332
00:16:14,341 --> 00:16:16,420
Okay, you saw each other.
It went great.

333
00:16:16,420 --> 00:16:17,100
- Yeah.
- Big sis, please.

334
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:19,212
Look, I-I...
I'm a different person now.

335
00:16:19,212 --> 00:16:20,213
- Can I tell you why?
- No.

336
00:16:20,213 --> 00:16:21,147
- Really?
- Eddie, no.

337
00:16:21,147 --> 00:16:22,849
No, no, I'm interested.
Please, go ahead.

338
00:16:24,718 --> 00:16:28,888
I met... an incredible woman.

339
00:16:28,888 --> 00:16:29,989
- No!
- (HOOTS)

340
00:16:29,989 --> 00:16:31,391
She's a psychologist.

341
00:16:31,391 --> 00:16:33,226
- HELEN: Come on.
- Berkeley. PhD.

342
00:16:33,226 --> 00:16:35,395
And she made me realize
how vital it is

343
00:16:35,395 --> 00:16:37,897
that I make amends
with my children.

344
00:16:37,897 --> 00:16:39,320
- No, no, no.
- Ella.

345
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,734
I-I can't let Olympia get away.

346
00:16:40,734 --> 00:16:45,238
I have never in my life felt
this way about any other woman.

347
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,540
Jesus, Eddie!

348
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:50,430
No-- I-I wasn't counting
your mother!

349
00:16:50,510 --> 00:16:52,846
She's in a completely
different category!

350
00:16:52,846 --> 00:16:54,514
- ELLA: He dyes his hair.
- I think they're plugs.

351
00:16:54,514 --> 00:16:56,182
It took me this long
to make him irrelevant.

352
00:16:56,182 --> 00:16:58,251
- You get how sorry I am, right?
- And he just walks in--

353
00:16:58,251 --> 00:16:59,586
I know. I know. I know.

354
00:16:59,586 --> 00:17:01,554
Listen, we shouldn't even
discuss it.

355
00:17:01,554 --> 00:17:03,590
Let's just concentrate
on why you're here.

356
00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:04,724
What happened?

357
00:17:06,926 --> 00:17:08,862
Okay. (CLEARS THROAT)
Aunt Helen...

358
00:17:09,596 --> 00:17:11,931
Please try not to judge things
I tell you right away.

359
00:17:13,266 --> 00:17:16,403
Just listen till you hear
all of it. Okay?

360
00:17:17,704 --> 00:17:18,571
I'll try.

361
00:17:20,206 --> 00:17:21,775
I made a promise to myself

362
00:17:21,775 --> 00:17:23,610
that I wasn't going to
let my marriage suffer

363
00:17:23,610 --> 00:17:24,711
because of my job.

364
00:17:24,711 --> 00:17:26,613
To a fault.

365
00:17:27,547 --> 00:17:29,883
I'm sorry. Go on.

366
00:17:31,751 --> 00:17:34,421
And given that my work
never has a finish line,

367
00:17:34,421 --> 00:17:37,390
and I was coming home
exhausted every night...

368
00:17:37,390 --> 00:17:40,593
Anyway, there's a one-bedroom
guest apartment I discovered

369
00:17:40,593 --> 00:17:43,897
under the Capitol dome,
just sitting there unused.

370
00:17:43,897 --> 00:17:47,634
So, there were times
during lunch, when...

371
00:17:48,802 --> 00:17:50,804
Ryan and I
would meet there, and...

372
00:17:52,105 --> 00:17:53,940
you know,
we'd get to be alone and...

373
00:17:56,142 --> 00:17:57,444
Mmm.

374
00:17:59,746 --> 00:18:00,747
(WHISPERS) ...be together.

375
00:18:02,816 --> 00:18:05,285
- Ella, wait.
- Yeah?

376
00:18:08,655 --> 00:18:09,789
I'm worried about you.

377
00:18:10,657 --> 00:18:12,158
(SIGHS) I'm fine.

378
00:18:12,926 --> 00:18:14,327
Save it for Casey.

379
00:18:14,327 --> 00:18:17,330
He's gone silent on me again,
and I'm-- I'm worried about him.

380
00:18:17,764 --> 00:18:18,665
You know your brother.

381
00:18:18,665 --> 00:18:21,301
He's just doing his
"leave me alone" thing.

382
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:23,269

(KISSES)

384
00:18:26,606 --> 00:18:27,607
ELLA: Okay.

385
00:18:34,481 --> 00:18:37,684
You promised to take it slow.

386
00:18:37,684 --> 00:18:40,353
Eddie, I forgot what it's like
dealing with you.

387
00:18:40,353 --> 00:18:41,855
You blew it!

388
00:18:41,855 --> 00:18:43,823
I'm really angry. Go!

389
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:47,994
First of all, I have never been
less full of shit!

390
00:18:47,994 --> 00:18:48,995
And...

391
00:18:49,195 --> 00:18:50,300
uh...

392
00:18:50,363 --> 00:18:51,331
...maybe she blew it.

393
00:18:51,331 --> 00:18:52,832
Olympia says it's a given

394
00:18:52,832 --> 00:18:55,535
that Ella would be much
better off once she forgives me.

395
00:18:55,535 --> 00:18:57,704
Oh, you know what?
Tell Olympia that forgiving you

396
00:18:57,704 --> 00:19:00,400
requires you stop messing up

397
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,708
long enough
for people to catch up.

398
00:19:01,708 --> 00:19:04,978
What is it gonna take to get
people to realize I've changed?

399
00:19:05,211 --> 00:19:06,646
Castration.

400
00:19:06,646 --> 00:19:09,382
- Too far.
- (SCOFFS) Not even close.

ELLA: Case, it's...
it's me again.

404
00:19:25,532 --> 00:19:27,367
Hi.
(CHUCKLES) Um...

405
00:19:27,867 --> 00:19:30,236
No pressure, but, just...

406
00:19:31,237 --> 00:19:34,740
Just let me know how you are.
Thanks.

It's just...

411
00:19:45,251 --> 00:19:46,753
Families, huh? Hmm.

412
00:19:46,753 --> 00:19:48,722
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah. Absolutely.

413
00:19:49,255 --> 00:19:50,900
What?

414
00:19:52,592 --> 00:19:53,727
Oh, um...

415
00:19:53,727 --> 00:19:55,695
My mother, you know,
she, um...

416
00:19:55,695 --> 00:19:57,364
She's-- What's the word?

417
00:19:58,898 --> 00:20:00,200
Dotes. She dotes on--

418
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,435
I'm sorry, I can't hear you.

419
00:20:02,435 --> 00:20:03,737
Do you mind repeating that?

420
00:20:04,371 --> 00:20:08,410
Um, my mom, she...
she dotes on me, you know?

421
00:20:08,410 --> 00:20:09,750
- ELLA: Uh-huh.
- Like big time.

422
00:20:09,750 --> 00:20:10,543
- ELLA: Uh-huh.
- Like I'm the golden child.

423
00:20:10,543 --> 00:20:12,412
So, she visited me
a little while ago.

424
00:20:12,412 --> 00:20:14,114
And the motel she's at
has a pool.

425
00:20:14,114 --> 00:20:16,490
- Uh-huh.
- So, I went to pick her up,

426
00:20:16,490 --> 00:20:19,419
and she's floating in this,
like... floaty-bubble chair?

427
00:20:19,419 --> 00:20:21,287
- Oh, yes. Nice.
- In the pool, you know?

428
00:20:21,287 --> 00:20:23,123
And, uh, she sees me...

429
00:20:23,123 --> 00:20:25,959
Immediately gets up to
let me sit. Muscle memory.

430
00:20:25,959 --> 00:20:28,294
- ELLA: Not true.
- I swear. Big splash.

431
00:20:28,294 --> 00:20:30,263
- That can't be true.
- I swear. And I love my mom.

432
00:20:30,263 --> 00:20:32,132
- But the scream she made?
- (LAUGHS)

433
00:20:32,132 --> 00:20:34,901
It was the funniest sound
I've ever heard in my life.

Hello. What's going on?

446
00:21:02,128 --> 00:21:03,997
It came through.

447
00:21:03,997 --> 00:21:05,165
I'm in the Cabinet!

448
00:21:05,999 --> 00:21:07,934
Wow! Wow. Wow.

449
00:21:07,934 --> 00:21:09,169
- Right?
- That's--

450
00:21:09,169 --> 00:21:12,138
I'm resigning immediately to
get ready for my confirmation.

451
00:21:12,138 --> 00:21:15,175
So, for the next 14 months,
anyway, you're governor.

452
00:21:15,508 --> 00:21:17,344
- Congratulations.
- (WHIMPERS)

453
00:21:17,677 --> 00:21:20,180
And, uh, you really couldn't
have gotten this any other way.

454
00:21:21,140 --> 00:21:23,160
- Well...
- Oh, come on.

455
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,785
You couldn't do the bullshit
needed to fund a campaign.

456
00:21:26,353 --> 00:21:27,787
And I wouldn't have gotten
this appointment

457
00:21:27,787 --> 00:21:29,189
without your policies.

458
00:21:29,622 --> 00:21:31,240
So, look at us.

459
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,692

than two people

460

who owe each other everything?

you promised to get us

those three additional votes
for the Mom's Bill.

Swore. Your word, not mine.

468
00:21:50,543 --> 00:21:52,712
This is the big one,
the Healthy Start program

469
00:21:52,712 --> 00:21:54,881
that gives expectant mothers
prenatal counseling

470
00:21:54,881 --> 00:21:57,170
at a time when
depression and anxiety

471
00:21:57,170 --> 00:21:58,885
are really common. And...

472
00:21:59,853 --> 00:22:00,854
Bill?

473
00:22:00,854 --> 00:22:02,322
It also includes home visits
to monitor

474
00:22:02,322 --> 00:22:04,240
one-to-three-year-olds'
well-being.

475
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,392
Everybody's research shows that

476
00:22:05,392 --> 00:22:07,600
that period of life
is the most crucial--

Let's not have that discussion.

1112
00:49:38,645 --> 00:49:41,314
I remember how great it was

1113
00:49:41,314 --> 00:49:44,617
to not feel like it was up to me
to fix things. (INHALES)

1114
00:49:44,617 --> 00:49:48,855
It was like the junkyard
in my brain had closed down,

1115
00:49:49,189 --> 00:49:52,492
and I had these great,
clear thoughts.

1116
00:49:52,792 --> 00:49:54,961
I never did it again,
of course, but...

1117
00:49:56,296 --> 00:49:58,798
it sure was tempting.
(GIGGLES)

1118
00:50:01,301 --> 00:50:03,470
Oh, sweet mother,
I think it's happening again.

1119
00:50:03,470 --> 00:50:04,637
- No. Ella, please!
- Well, wait, wait.

1120
00:50:04,637 --> 00:50:05,872
Let me get the thoughts out
while I can!

1121
00:50:05,872 --> 00:50:07,707
- No, Ella, please. Ella, no...
- Okay, one...

1122
00:50:07,707 --> 00:50:09,642
is that I've so missed you.

1123
00:50:09,642 --> 00:50:11,544
And I really think you're great.

1124
00:50:11,544 --> 00:50:14,180
And so what if
you're being agor--

1125
00:50:14,180 --> 00:50:16,490
Your having
a smallish anxiety disorder

1126
00:50:16,490 --> 00:50:17,817
is part of your being great.

1127
00:50:18,385 --> 00:50:19,652
(EXHALES)

1128
00:50:19,652 --> 00:50:21,554
And recently, truth be told...

1129
00:50:22,555 --> 00:50:25,158
(WHISPERING)
I, too, have been slightly...

1130
00:50:25,158 --> 00:50:27,600
drowning in anxiety myself.

1131
00:50:28,610 --> 00:50:30,397
But I am not drowning
at this moment.

1132
00:50:30,397 --> 00:50:31,664
(WHISPERS) No, sir.

1133
00:50:32,198 --> 00:50:33,666
Just between us, I'm...

1134
00:50:33,666 --> 00:50:37,170
I am so excited about getting
to do this job! (GASPS)

1135
00:50:37,170 --> 00:50:39,172
Even though
I got it by accident.

1136
00:50:40,173 --> 00:50:41,174
And...

1137
00:50:42,709 --> 00:50:45,679
The rest...
the personal stuff...

1138
00:50:45,679 --> 00:50:48,140
(TYPING CONTINUES)

1139
00:50:48,140 --> 00:50:49,150
I don't know.

1140
00:50:50,884 --> 00:50:53,186
The truth is I worry
that he doesn't love me.

1141
00:50:53,853 --> 00:50:54,754
Not really.

1142
00:50:54,754 --> 00:50:56,356
(TYPING STOPS)

1143
00:50:56,356 --> 00:50:57,691
That he just wanted to...

1144
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:01,561
I didn't mean that.

1145
00:51:03,863 --> 00:51:05,650
I didn't mean that.

1146
00:51:05,650 --> 00:51:06,533
It's just, uh...

1147
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,360
It's complicated when you come
from our background,

1148
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,939
and you're with someone from
a normal family, isn't it, Case?

1149
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,209
Yeah, personally, I've decided
to stop trying to be normal.

1150
00:51:16,209 --> 00:51:17,711
And pick something easier.

1151
00:51:17,711 --> 00:51:21,247
(LAUGHS) Oh, Case... I love you.

1152
00:51:22,820 --> 00:51:23,383
Can I, um...

1153
00:51:23,717 --> 00:51:26,553
I have just one more thing--
teeny, tiny thing to say.

1154
00:51:27,870 --> 00:51:28,388
If I may.

1155
00:51:30,890 --> 00:51:34,940
(WHISPERING) I've never said
this, even to myself. But...

1156
00:51:37,897 --> 00:51:42,902
I know exactly what needs
to be done in this new job.

1157
00:51:44,771 --> 00:51:46,906
And, Lord help me,
I think I can do it.

1158
00:51:48,108 --> 00:51:51,277
I can make people's
lives better.

1159
00:51:52,645 --> 00:51:54,247
Even more than my predecessor.

1160
00:51:54,247 --> 00:51:56,950
Who is an adorable person,
and everybody loves him.

1161
00:51:56,950 --> 00:52:00,420
But... he doesn't
love them back, not really.

1162
00:52:00,420 --> 00:52:02,880
(LOUDER) Not enough
to fight the tough ones.

1163
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:06,426
And sure, I'll never be able
to generate that kind of...

1164
00:52:07,761 --> 00:52:08,928
"Stop the world!"

1165
00:52:08,928 --> 00:52:10,997
"Hi, Nellie, how are the kids?
Doing good?

1166
00:52:10,997 --> 00:52:12,465
Which one? The boy or the gi--"

1167
00:52:12,465 --> 00:52:14,000
I don't have
that kind of appeal, okay?

1168
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,435
I don't have the chitchat.

1169
00:52:15,435 --> 00:52:18,104
And the big guns in the party
don't like me at all!

1170
00:52:18,104 --> 00:52:22,142
They don't value my ideas.
Or the work that goes into them!

1171
00:52:22,142 --> 00:52:25,178
And they actually resent
my energy, whatever that means!

1172
00:52:25,812 --> 00:52:29,115
But I know exactly what needs
to be done in this new job.

1173
00:52:29,115 --> 00:52:32,352
Okay? We need to
attract new businesses.

1174
00:52:32,352 --> 00:52:36,122
And you can't do that with
substandard roads and ports,

1175
00:52:36,122 --> 00:52:39,659
and you can't do that unless
you jack-- maybe way up--

1176
00:52:39,659 --> 00:52:41,361
license and registration fees,

1177
00:52:41,361 --> 00:52:43,296
especially
for commercial vehicles.

1178
00:52:43,296 --> 00:52:45,865
And you have to not give
a hot hoot

1179
00:52:45,865 --> 00:52:47,300
what that does
to your poll numbers.

1180
00:52:47,300 --> 00:52:49,135
Because here's the catch:

1181
00:52:49,135 --> 00:52:52,380
You can't be popular
and fix anything!

1182
00:52:54,307 --> 00:52:56,810
(PANTING)

1183
00:52:56,810 --> 00:52:57,811
Would you like to hear about

1184
00:52:57,811 --> 00:52:58,978
my favorite community
health program?

1185
00:52:58,978 --> 00:53:01,681
- God, no.
- I found it buried in a footnote

1186
00:53:01,681 --> 00:53:04,217
to a bill in Vermont
or Nebraska.

1187
00:53:04,217 --> 00:53:06,319
It was one of those states
that nobody's mad at.

1188
00:53:06,319 --> 00:53:08,888
"The benefits of tooth tutors."

1189
00:53:09,322 --> 00:53:10,690
Say it, Case. Tooth tutors.

1190
00:53:10,690 --> 00:53:11,825
- No.
- It's fun to say.

1191
00:53:11,825 --> 00:53:12,892
- You should try it once.
- No. I'm not saying that.

1192
00:53:12,892 --> 00:53:14,661
- It's really fun to say.
- No, I don't wanna say that.

1193
00:53:14,661 --> 00:53:15,528
- Please?
- No.

1194
00:53:15,528 --> 00:53:16,830
- Tooth tutors. Tooth tutors!
- No, I'm not gonna say it.

1195
00:53:16,830 --> 00:53:18,164
- No, I'm not gonna say it.
- Tooth tutors.

1196
00:53:18,164 --> 00:53:19,532
- Tooth tutors!
- Thank you.

1197
00:53:19,532 --> 00:53:23,536
(EXHALES) You go to any
deeply rural county anywhere,

1198
00:53:23,536 --> 00:53:26,720
and kids' teeth
are in terrible shape

1199
00:53:26,720 --> 00:53:28,341
because of the massive amounts
of soda they drink.

1200
00:53:28,341 --> 00:53:30,677
And dentists
are virtually non-existent

1201
00:53:30,677 --> 00:53:32,780
because
there's no money to be had.

1202
00:53:32,780 --> 00:53:34,848
So they started
this cost-free program,

1203
00:53:34,848 --> 00:53:37,417
where local volunteers
go door-to-door,

1204
00:53:37,417 --> 00:53:39,753
giving out tooth care kits
provided free

1205
00:53:39,753 --> 00:53:41,254
by toothpaste companies.

1206
00:53:41,254 --> 00:53:44,240
So like Doctors Without Borders,
they show up, these dentists,

1207
00:53:44,240 --> 00:53:47,927
maybe three times a year,
and treat all comers for free!

1208
00:53:48,428 --> 00:53:51,310
No, no, don't get excited yet.
That's not the best part.

1209
00:53:51,310 --> 00:53:52,365
The best part is that

1210
00:53:52,365 --> 00:53:54,367
the social workers
reported that these kids,

1211
00:53:54,367 --> 00:53:56,536
who'd been previously
walking around close-mouthed

1212
00:53:56,536 --> 00:53:58,710
because of
how their teeth looked,

1213
00:53:58,710 --> 00:54:00,407
actually began to smile.
(CRYING)

1214
00:54:01,574 --> 00:54:02,542
And... (SNIFFLING)

1215
00:54:02,542 --> 00:54:04,711
It seems to be at least
partially responsible

1216
00:54:04,711 --> 00:54:06,880
for increased high school
graduation rate

1217
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,215
and reduced misconduct
in the classroom.

1218
00:54:10,417 --> 00:54:12,419
(SNIFFLING)
Thanks for listening. I...

1219
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,589
- Now you.
- Uh...

1220
00:54:23,396 --> 00:54:26,399
Casey, do you really
have to work,

1221
00:54:26,399 --> 00:54:28,935
or are you just trying to avoid
talking about yourself?

1222
00:54:29,235 --> 00:54:31,571
Yeah. Yeah, I gotta work.
I gotta make deadlines, okay?

1223
00:54:31,571 --> 00:54:32,806
That's what I gotta do.

1224
00:54:32,806 --> 00:54:34,140
I know you got
a lot going on right now.

1225
00:54:34,140 --> 00:54:35,275
But, you know-- This is. I got--

1226
00:54:35,275 --> 00:54:36,910
You know, there's 2,100 people

1227
00:54:36,910 --> 00:54:37,977
paying me
$1,000 a year each,

1228
00:54:37,977 --> 00:54:39,145
and they're waiting
for this stuff,

1229
00:54:39,145 --> 00:54:40,914
and this is the first time
I've ever been late.

1230
00:54:40,914 --> 00:54:43,750
First time, and you come in here
doing all this stuff, and...

1231
00:54:43,750 --> 00:54:45,585
(STAMMERING)
...getting all emotional.

1232
00:54:45,585 --> 00:54:47,287
I can't be dealing
with that stuff.

1233
00:54:47,287 --> 00:54:49,255
I gotta make these deadlines.

1234
00:54:52,759 --> 00:54:54,928
You make
two million dollars a year?

1235
00:54:54,928 --> 00:54:56,429
Approximately, yeah.

1236
00:54:58,980 --> 00:55:00,133
I'm almost done, okay? Just...

1237
00:55:00,967 --> 00:55:02,102
Oh, wow.

1238
00:55:03,937 --> 00:55:05,171
And I'm not agoraphobic, okay?

1239
00:55:05,171 --> 00:55:08,274
I choose not to go outside.
That's by choice. Okay?

1240
00:55:08,274 --> 00:55:10,110
If I was agoraphobic, I wouldn't
be able to do this, would I?

1241
00:55:10,110 --> 00:55:11,177
- Watch this.
- Casey?

1242
00:55:11,177 --> 00:55:12,145
I'm gonna leave this door
right now.

1243
00:55:12,145 --> 00:55:13,980
- Pull it off its hinges, man.
- You don't have to do that!

1244
00:55:14,481 --> 00:55:16,316
- ELLA: Point made.
- A choice, see?

1245
00:55:16,316 --> 00:55:17,617
- Choice.
- Okay.

1246
00:55:17,617 --> 00:55:18,485
And my sociability,

1247
00:55:18,485 --> 00:55:19,452
- that's also fine.
- Okay.

1248
00:55:19,452 --> 00:55:20,520
How you doin', man?

1249
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:21,788
Good to see you.
Welcome to the neighborhood.

1250
00:55:21,788 --> 00:55:23,156
How are you, bro?
Nice to see you.

1251
00:55:23,156 --> 00:55:25,458
You know what you wanna do?
You wanna take Detroit Lions.

1252
00:55:25,458 --> 00:55:27,861
Plus the points.
Oh, you'll make your bookie sob.

1253
00:55:27,861 --> 00:55:29,129
Sob.

1254
00:55:30,300 --> 00:55:32,465
ELLA: Look, I can't--
I can't show my face

1255
00:55:32,465 --> 00:55:34,467
until I'm absolutely
clear-headed here.

1256
00:55:36,136 --> 00:55:37,504
May I sleep here tonight?

1257
00:55:38,171 --> 00:55:39,639
CASEY: Uh...

1258
00:55:40,373 --> 00:55:42,208
- Yeah, sure.
- Thanks.

1259
00:55:42,208 --> 00:55:44,310
- (CASEY SIGHS)
- Wait.

1260
00:55:44,811 --> 00:55:47,514
Have I made it clear
how glad I am to see you?

1261
00:55:47,981 --> 00:55:48,815
Yes.

1262
00:55:48,815 --> 00:55:50,817
Let's not

01:02:42,128 --> 01:02:43,763
you never recover from,
you know?

1421
01:02:44,264 --> 01:02:46,633
And by pressing her,
you mean you proposed marriage?

1422
01:02:46,633 --> 01:02:47,734
No.

1423
01:02:47,734 --> 01:02:50,236
But I mean, that would have been
appropriate to my feelings.

1424
01:02:50,770 --> 01:02:53,239
- Okay. What did you... do?
- What did I do?

1425
01:02:53,239 --> 01:02:54,107
Yeah.

1426
01:02:54,107 --> 01:02:55,975
- You... you want word for word?
- No.

1427
01:02:55,975 --> 01:02:57,477
- Just generally?
- Yes.

1428
01:02:57,477 --> 01:02:58,578
Okay.

1429
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:02,749
I said how I believe
timing is almost everything.

1430
01:03:03,416 --> 01:03:05,850
And that one
of the timing decisions

1431
01:03:05,850 --> 01:03:07,253
I'm always afraid of screwing up

1432
01:03:07,253 --> 01:03:09,255
is the one where you say,

1433
01:03:09,255 --> 01:03:10,924
"I wanna stop dating right now

1434
01:03:10,924 --> 01:03:12,325
and just accept
that I've found the person

1435
01:03:12,325 --> 01:03:14,127
that's gonna
make my life worthwhile."

1436
01:03:15,950 --> 01:03:16,930
So far,
that's pretty word for word.

1437
01:03:18,932 --> 01:03:20,600
And then I said, maybe too loud,

1438
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,602
that you know,
she was that person for me.

1439
01:03:24,170 --> 01:03:26,806
And I asked
if she felt the same way.

1440
01:03:26,806 --> 01:03:28,775
And therefore
would also want to stop

1441
01:03:28,775 --> 01:03:30,677
looking for anybody else but me.

1442
01:03:31,478 --> 01:03:34,614
And she said
that made her feel... weird.

1443
01:03:35,150 --> 01:03:37,450
And then she said "weird"
a couple more times, and...

1444
01:03:38,118 --> 01:03:40,120
that was it, really.

1445
01:03:45,792 --> 01:03:47,794
Did she say you were weird?

1446
01:03:48,628 --> 01:03:52,298
No. No. That's a great question.
She said "it"was weird.

1447
01:03:52,298 --> 01:03:53,800
What are you saying?
You saying there's still hope?

1448
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:55,802
And this was over a year ago,
you say.

1449
01:03:55,802 --> 01:03:56,803
Yeah, barely.

1450
01:03:56,803 --> 01:03:58,805
What happened when you
called afterwards? I mean, did--

1451
01:03:58,805 --> 01:04:01,141
I... I didn't call.
I didn't call.

1452
01:04:01,141 --> 01:04:02,375
And she never called you?

1453
01:04:02,375 --> 01:04:03,476
I don't understand.

1454
01:04:03,476 --> 01:04:04,544
Look, I changed my number, okay?

1455
01:04:04,544 --> 01:04:05,812
Because
I didn't want to be aware

1456
01:04:05,812 --> 01:04:07,147
all the time
she wasn't calling me.

1457
01:04:07,514 --> 01:04:09,482
Her not calling me right away
was clear enough.

1458
01:04:09,482 --> 01:04:11,384
Oh.
You think I should call her now?

1459
01:04:11,384 --> 01:04:13,530
- Yes!
- And say what?

1460
01:04:13,530 --> 01:04:14,220
- What should I say?
- How is she?

1461
01:04:14,220 --> 01:04:15,388
- You've been thinking about her.
- Yeah? Okay.

1462
01:04:15,388 --> 01:04:16,489
- You'd like to see her.
- Okay.

1463
01:04:16,489 --> 01:04:17,824
- You...
- Oh.

(PANTING)

1466
01:04:22,228 --> 01:04:23,363
I don't want to say this because

1467

I know exactly
how I sound when I do,

1468

but the truth is...

1469
01:04:26,700 --> 01:04:28,201
...she lives way over
in the Trent Park area.

1470
01:04:28,201 --> 01:04:29,169
You know, that...

1471
01:04:29,169 --> 01:04:31,705
that distance for me is
gonna be hard, given my issues.

1472
01:04:31,705 --> 01:04:34,207
- And... You know?
- (STAMMERS) Okay.

1473
01:04:34,207 --> 01:04:36,209
Well, but--
but, I mean, you know what?

1474
01:04:36,209 --> 01:04:38,912
Even saying that was difficult,
and you did it anyway.

1475
01:04:39,346 --> 01:04:40,180
- Yeah.
- Case,

1476
01:04:40,180 --> 01:04:41,848
you have a great work ethic.

1477

This right now?
This is your work.

1478
01:04:45,385 --> 01:04:46,219
Okay.

1479
01:04:46,553 --> 01:04:48,855
Call her.
Call me for anything else.

1480
01:04:48,855 --> 01:04:49,756
Okay.

1481

I called you.

- Hi, Estelle. Anything?

1485
01:05:02,350 --> 01:05:04,204
One of the news outlets
has started

1486
01:05:04,204 --> 01:05:06,390
to refer to you
in a peculiar way,

1487
01:05:06,390 --> 01:05:07,407

Well, let's, uh... Let's use it
while we can, shall we?

Hey, Susan, it's Casey.

1577
01:09:54,327 --> 01:09:55,829
You know, Casey McCay?

1578
01:09:56,363 --> 01:09:58,365
Yeah, yeah, and how long a time.

1579
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:00,200
So, are you married?

1580
01:10:02,100 --> 01:10:05,710
No, no, no. I'm not--
I'm not married, either.

1581
01:10:05,538 --> 01:10:06,740
May I just come over?

1582
01:10:07,841 --> 01:10:10,543
Oh, okay,
well, when will you be back?

1583
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:13,713
Okay, well,
I'll be there in two hours.

1584
01:10:19,352 --> 01:10:20,687

ESTELLE (VO):
Verum est difficile.

1587
01:10:29,729 --> 01:10:31,310
The rug is right.

1588
01:10:31,310 --> 01:10:35,350
Truth is tough, but sometimes
you just gotta face it.

1589
01:10:36,236 --> 01:10:37,370
I need to talk to you.

1590
01:10:38,104 --> 01:10:38,938
Sure.

1591
01:10:38,938 --> 01:10:41,274
- Great. Thank you, everyone.
- Governor Ella,

1592
01:10:41,274 --> 01:10:44,440
you have your first
full staff meeting right now.

1593
01:10:44,440 --> 01:10:44,944
Thanks, Estelle.

1594
01:10:47,714 --> 01:10:48,548
What's up?

1595
01:10:48,548 --> 01:10:50,216
You called a press conference.

1596
01:10:50,216 --> 01:10:51,785
About our lives.

1597
01:10:52,752 --> 01:10:54,954
And you gave it
without running it by me.

1598
01:10:56,289 --> 01:10:57,390
(QUIETLY) Right.

1599
01:10:59,559 --> 01:11:01,227
I... Yes. I--

1600
01:11:01,728 --> 01:11:02,962
It's just that
it was just so clear

1601
01:11:02,962 --> 01:11:04,230
that something
had to be done immediately.

1602
01:11:04,230 --> 01:11:06,232
But you're right. I should have
run it past you first.

1603
01:11:06,232 --> 01:11:07,634
Totally solid point. Okay?

1604
01:11:07,634 --> 01:11:09,402
And you decided to make me
sound like someone

1605
01:11:09,402 --> 01:11:12,720
who has nothing else to do
but bang my wife

1606
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:13,640
when she has nothing else
to do for lunch.

1607
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:14,808
ESTELLE:
We can hear him out here.

1608
01:11:14,808 --> 01:11:16,760
- I swear...
- Yep. Got it.

1609
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:16,976
That's not what I said.

1610
01:11:16,976 --> 01:11:18,912
All you needed to do
was check in with me.

1611
01:11:19,779 --> 01:11:21,948
And then all this crap
could have been avoided.

1612
01:11:21,948 --> 01:11:24,651
You and I need to talk at home.

1613
01:11:24,651 --> 01:11:26,152
Okay? This is not the place.

1614
01:11:26,152 --> 01:11:27,487
What, not in the throne room!

1615
01:11:27,487 --> 01:11:28,621
- ELLA: This isn't the place.
- Heavens, no!

1616
01:11:28,621 --> 01:11:30,757
Do you have some goal
in mind here?

1617
01:11:30,757 --> 01:11:31,958
Some result you want?

1618
01:11:31,958 --> 01:11:35,161
Because if you do, I swear we
can't get there from here. Okay?

1619
01:11:35,161 --> 01:11:37,831
So for God's sake stop it,
and we'll talk later.

1620
01:11:38,765 --> 01:11:39,799
RYAN: No! Okay?

1621
01:11:39,799 --> 01:11:40,767
Ella?

1622
01:11:42,102 --> 01:11:44,604
This is all on you.
You know that?

1623
01:11:44,604 --> 01:11:45,939
If you had just trusted me
to handle it--

1624
01:11:45,939 --> 01:11:46,940
What did you do?

1625
01:11:46,940 --> 01:11:48,274
No, don't change the subject.

1626
01:11:48,274 --> 01:11:50,143
- What's the subject?
- The subject?

1627
01:11:50,143 --> 01:11:51,644
The subject is that
you ****ed up.

1628
01:11:51,644 --> 01:11:53,179
Don't talk to me like that.

1629
01:11:53,179 --> 01:11:55,448
You want-- You wanna know
what the subject is?

1630
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:58,451
The subject is that this
marriage isn't working for me.

1631
01:12:07,994 --> 01:12:09,129
You did something.

1632
01:12:10,463 --> 01:12:12,132
Right? And now you're worried
about what you did?

1633
01:12:12,132 --> 01:12:14,968
No. You're worried
about what I did,

1634
01:12:14,968 --> 01:12:16,803
which was to pay the guy
to kill the story

1635
01:12:16,803 --> 01:12:19,500
that you didn't want out there.

1636
01:12:19,500 --> 01:12:20,140
And it's not a bribe,
by the way.

1637
01:12:20,140 --> 01:12:21,474
I checked with a lawyer.

1638
01:12:21,474 --> 01:12:23,143
There is no law
against paying someone

1639
01:12:23,143 --> 01:12:24,477
not do a story.

1640
01:12:24,477 --> 01:12:25,712
You actually put money
in an envelope

1641
01:12:25,712 --> 01:12:27,470
and handed it to him?

1642
01:12:27,470 --> 01:12:29,490
No, not money.
He wanted a check.

1643
01:12:29,490 --> 01:12:30,984
- You gave him a check?
- Yes.

1644
01:12:30,984 --> 01:12:32,552
And you didn't wonder
why he wanted a check?

1645
01:12:32,552 --> 01:12:35,188
Yeah, because
it was 7,500, Ella.

1646
01:12:35,188 --> 01:12:37,824
And people don't want
to carry that much cash. Okay?

1647
01:12:37,824 --> 01:12:39,159
Why else would it be?

1648
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:41,361

Okay, okay.
How about we talk about us?

1652
01:12:53,730 --> 01:12:54,741
Sure. The marriage
isn't working for you.

1653
01:12:54,741 --> 01:12:56,420
No, but it could.

about making things up to me
in your next speech?

1657
01:13:03,416 --> 01:13:04,851
- Yes.
- Right?

1658
01:13:04,851 --> 01:13:06,419
Well, this could be it.

1659
01:13:06,853 --> 01:13:08,210
This could fix us.

could make us great.

that you wanted those lunches

01:16:39,899 --> 01:16:42,680
I'm so glad to see you all.
I really am.

1734
01:16:52,746 --> 01:16:53,913
This way.

1735
01:16:58,151 --> 01:16:59,619
(PANTING)

1736
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:03,256
SUSAN: Just a sec!

1737
01:17:03,256 --> 01:17:05,258
(BREATHING HEAVILY)

1738
01:17:07,460 --> 01:17:08,428
Hi.

1739
01:17:08,428 --> 01:17:10,296
I, uh, I should've
brought something.

1740
01:17:10,296 --> 01:17:11,965
You know, some flowers

1741
01:17:11,965 --> 01:17:14,601
or a small car
with a bow around it.

1742
01:17:15,635 --> 01:17:16,603
What?

1743
01:17:16,836 --> 01:17:17,670
I'm sorr-- I'm sorry.

1744
01:17:17,670 --> 01:17:19,839
I thought-- I just thought
of saying that on the stairs

1745
01:17:19,839 --> 01:17:22,175
as, like, a kidding thing to
you know, maybe make you laugh--

1746
01:17:22,175 --> 01:17:23,476
I didn't realize
it was, like, a joke.

1747
01:17:23,476 --> 01:17:24,911
No, it's funny.
I laughed. I laughed.

1748
01:17:24,911 --> 01:17:26,413
- I'm sorry.
- No, I got it.

1749
01:17:27,130 --> 01:17:27,914
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

1750
01:17:27,914 --> 01:17:29,683
- (CHUCKLING) Good to see you.
- Thanks.

1751
01:17:29,683 --> 01:17:32,485
- Um... You look, um...
- What? Thinner?

1752
01:17:34,254 --> 01:17:35,588
Uh, sure.

1753
01:17:35,922 --> 01:17:38,240
But I was gonna say
you look like--

1754
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:39,920
Tense?

1755
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:40,427
Um, no.

1756
01:17:40,427 --> 01:17:41,828
I mean, well, maybe.
I don't know.

1757
01:17:41,828 --> 01:17:42,862
Sorry, I'm not-- I'm just...

1758
01:17:42,862 --> 01:17:46,199
I'm not letting you finish
your sentences, and I'm just...

1759
01:17:46,199 --> 01:17:48,435
You're not. But that is okay.
Um...

1760
01:17:48,435 --> 01:17:51,371
Also, we haven't even
left the doorway. So...

1761
01:17:51,371 --> 01:17:53,206
- Sorry.
- Nope. All good.

1762
01:17:53,206 --> 01:17:55,442
- Do you want to come inside?
- Yeah.

1763
01:17:55,442 --> 01:17:56,776
Oh. Okay, yeah.

(SIGHS)

1765
01:18:01,948 --> 01:18:05,518
Um, I was, uh...
Uh... (EXHALES)

1766
01:18:05,518 --> 01:18:08,210
- What? Case.
- Really? You wanna know?

1767
01:18:08,855 --> 01:18:09,789
(SLOWLY) Sure.

1768
01:18:09,789 --> 01:18:11,624
Well, okay, then.
Well, last time I was here,

1769
01:18:11,624 --> 01:18:13,793
I got in trouble for saying
something you thought,

1770
01:18:13,793 --> 01:18:16,629
possibly correctly,
was excessive.

1771
01:18:17,297 --> 01:18:18,565
Remember? I'm just-- I'm not--

1772
01:18:18,565 --> 01:18:19,632
I'm not tryin' to jump
in your thoughts.

1773
01:18:19,632 --> 01:18:21,735
Could we catch up more slowly?

1774
01:18:22,635 --> 01:18:24,371
Slowly. Yeah. Okay.

1775
01:18:25,705 --> 01:18:26,740
(BLUSTERS)

1776
01:18:27,874 --> 01:18:28,908
SUSAN: Right. Okay.

1777
01:18:29,309 --> 01:18:31,745
Um... There is
a really great restaurant

1778
01:18:31,745 --> 01:18:33,747
a few blocks away from here,

1779
01:18:33,747 --> 01:18:35,582
and I think
you'll like the food.

1780
01:18:35,582 --> 01:18:38,151
So let's go there.
You'll like it.

1781
01:18:38,151 --> 01:18:40,153
It's not really like I remember

1782
01:18:40,153 --> 01:18:42,489
exactly what happened
way back then anyway. So...

1783
01:18:42,489 --> 01:18:45,158
Wh-- Really?
You really don't remember?

1784
01:18:45,558 --> 01:18:47,260
Would it help
if I repeated the key parts

1785
01:18:47,260 --> 01:18:49,262
- of our last conversation?
- No!

1786
01:18:49,262 --> 01:18:52,665
No, it actually--
It would not... help. Um...

1787
01:18:53,767 --> 01:18:57,300
I think I thought
today would be a little more,

1788
01:18:57,300 --> 01:18:58,938
(BRIGHTLY)
"Hey, how things been?"

1789
01:18:58,938 --> 01:19:01,608
(IMITATING CASEY) "Really
normal. I've been so normal."

"Oh, my gosh. Me too."

1791
01:19:03,900 --> 01:19:04,944
I'm actually not sure
I can do that, Susan.

1792
01:19:06,780 --> 01:19:08,810
You know,
I've given a lot of thought

1793
01:19:08,810 --> 01:19:09,115
to what I wanna say
about last time.

1794
01:19:09,115 --> 01:19:13,190
And I know I can't just pick up
on a year-old conversation.

1795
01:19:14,354 --> 01:19:15,255
- Okay.
- Great.

1796
01:19:15,255 --> 01:19:16,456
- Fine.
- Cool.

1797
01:19:16,456 --> 01:19:17,624
Cool.

1798
01:19:17,624 --> 01:19:18,858
Listen. I'm gonna get my coat,

1799
01:19:18,858 --> 01:19:20,627
and you're gonna
like the place. Cool?

1800
01:19:21,294 --> 01:19:22,429
Mm-hmm.

You know,
you don't get to act like this.

1803
01:19:30,603 --> 01:19:31,971
You're the one that
changed your number.

1804
01:19:31,971 --> 01:19:32,872
You did that!

1805
01:19:32,872 --> 01:19:34,107
Yeah, because
I didn't want to be aware

1806
01:19:34,107 --> 01:19:36,276
you weren't calling me. Okay?

1807
01:19:38,878 --> 01:19:41,114
(GASPS) You wouldn't have known
I changed my number

1808
01:19:41,114 --> 01:19:43,216
- unless you called.
- Yay, genius.

1809
01:19:43,216 --> 01:19:44,784
What were you gonna say
when you called?

1810
01:19:44,784 --> 01:19:45,719
What were you gonna say?

1811
01:19:45,719 --> 01:19:48,288
That I was very worried--
At the time.

1812
01:19:49,656 --> 01:19:52,325
Can we please stop? (GRUNTS)

This is weird,
a-a-and I am drained,

and you are still...

Yeah, yeah.
I think I know what you mean!

1823
01:20:21,488 --> 01:20:22,989
All you asked for
was a little time to adjust,

1824
01:20:22,989 --> 01:20:24,424
and I couldn't do it for you.

1825

Y-Yeah.

1826

I still can't, Susan. I...

...still can't.

1828

01:20:33,366 --> 01:20:34,267

Hey, hey, hey.

There's a "but," okay?
There's a "but."

of the conversation

1834
01:20:43,343 --> 01:20:44,377
we were almost having.

1835
01:20:44,377 --> 01:20:46,279
Well, we were talking about
how last time I was here,

1836
01:20:46,279 --> 01:20:48,448
I asked you a question
in a very complicated way.

1837
01:20:48,448 --> 01:20:51,117
And I, you know, I know you'd
rather not deal with that again.

1838
01:20:51,117 --> 01:20:54,287
I strongly believe if I could
just ask in a more simple way,

1839
01:20:54,287 --> 01:20:55,555
you know, it'd clear the past,

1840
01:20:55,555 --> 01:20:57,123
and we could go out,
and you know,

1841
01:20:57,123 --> 01:20:58,458
we could go eat and...

1842
01:20:58,458 --> 01:21:00,794
Hey! We could have some fun.

come here please?

maybe sit down in the--

instead of talking about it,

I'll just, uh...

Yeah, I'll just do it, okay?

Okay.

01:21:29,989 --> 01:21:32,659
Well, the, um, question
I actually

1856
01:21:32,659 --> 01:21:34,561
wanted to ask way back then
and, uh...

just as much now is, um...

would you be my girlfriend?

No, uh...

a lot of time has passed.

Um... Or not. I didn't-- That's--

What I mean is...

1872
01:22:31,117 --> 01:22:32,786
You know,
if you had asked me back then

1873
01:22:32,786 --> 01:22:34,154
the way that
you just asked me now,

1874
01:22:34,154 --> 01:22:36,790
I mean--
Would things be different? I...

I mean, I don't know. Maybe.
