I told you I don't have time to wait. |
| 00:01:23 |
Do you have any idea? What's going on? |
| 00:01:32 |
I know, honey, I'm on my way, okay? |
| 00:01:38 |
Hi. I need to check your bag. |
| 00:02:16 |
Right this way. |
| 00:02:24 |
Come on, let's go. Get out of the way, now. |
| 00:02:29 |
Hold it! |
| 00:02:33 |
Please take the ticket. |
| 00:02:36 |

I can't follow you guys. You drive too slow. |
| 00:03:26 |
Bernie. Hey. |
| 00:03:29 |
- Sad, huh? |
| 00:03:32 |
- Poor Jocelyn. |
| 00:03:34 |
- Daniel, he was her world. |
| 00:03:36 |
Oh, that's why I never wear black. |
| 00:03:40 |
Should've thought of it years ago. |
| 00:03:42 |
We celebrate a very special life |
| 00:03:46 |
as we lay to rest Jocelyn's cherished |
| 00:04:10 |
Honey, we have to stay. |
| 00:04:13 |
All I know is that if I'm not back |
| 00:04:16 |
Monday is gonna be hell. |
| 00:04:17 |
She went to every one |
| 00:04:19 |
Oh, come on. Allegra is our actual child. |
| 00:04:24 |
Do you think if Jocelyn |
| 00:04:26 |
she'd be giving her dog a state funeral? |
| 00:04:29 |
This whole thing is warped. |
| 00:04:31 |
- I find that personally offensive, Dad. |
| 00:04:34 |
I mean, I may never be married |
| 00:04:36 |
Yes, some gay women |
| 00:04:39 |
but we don't all need the same things. |
| 00:04:41 |
Can we at least agree that |
| 00:04:44 |
human beings need |
| 00:04:46 |
human connection? |
| 00:04:48 |
You know, companionship, |
| 00:04:51 |
You get those things from Mom. |
| 00:05:00 |
Can I take your car? |
| 00:05:08 |
Dad had to go. |
| 00:05:12 |
We can't let Jocelyn sit home and brood. |
| 00:05:14 |
Maybe we could all take a class. |
| 00:05:18 |
I don't think I could fit |
| 00:05:21 |
No, no, you're right. You're right. |
| 00:05:25 |
She just lives so far away from everything. |
| 00:05:34 |
Give it back, Trey. |
| 00:05:36 |
Come on. Give it back. |
| 00:05:42 |
See ya. |
| 00:05:53 |
Thanks. Take care. |
| 00:05:59 |
Hi. |
| 00:06:00 |
- Trey. Yeah. |
| 00:06:03 |
Lovers' Guide to Paris. |
| 00:06:07 |
Food Lovers' Guide. |
| 00:06:08 |
We're gonna go to Paris. My husband and I. |
| 00:06:12 |
It's his first time in Paris. Mine, too. |
| 00:06:16 |
- It's a business trip for him. |
| 00:06:18 |
They fly him business class. |
| 00:06:20 |
So we're just gonna do an exchange |
| 00:06:25 |
- That's pretty thrifty. |
| 00:06:27 |
I've never been to France. I mean... |
| 00:06:32 |
I've been to Quebec. But that's... |
| 00:06:35 |
- It's not in... It's in... Okay. |
| 00:06:38 |
Do you want me to help you |
| 00:06:42 |
- No. |
| 00:06:45 |
- Well, have fun. |
| 00:06:46 |
Send me a postcard. |
| 00:06:52 |
- Hi. |
| 00:06:53 |
Honey, I'm sorry I'm late. |
| 00:06:56 |
Oh, yeah. What do you got? |
| 00:07:01 |
- What? |
| 00:07:03 |
I thought I said something. |
| 00:07:05 |
- Yo, jeez, these guys are terrible. |
| 00:07:07 |
Been like this all game. This one guy... |
| 00:07:10 |
Paris is off. |
| 00:07:13 |
- We're not going to Paris? |
| 00:07:16 |
My boss-boss asked me to take the CEO |
| 00:07:21 |
I guess the guys at Consolidated |
| 00:07:24 |
But if it's San Antonio, it'll be over in four. |
| 00:07:26 |
Unless Tim Duncan gets hit |
| 00:07:32 |
Anyway, figure I'll be on the road |
| 00:07:36 |
Maybe 10, just depending on... |
| 00:07:42 |
Oh, what if your mom came and stayed? |
| 00:07:46 |
Ten days with my mother? |
| 00:07:49 |
Prudie. |
| 00:07:52 |
What, did you want me |
| 00:08:01 |
Always doing something wrong, you know? |
| 00:08:06 |
I have no idea what I did. |
| 00:08:21 |
I was just thinking about |
| 00:08:23 |
at Jocelyn's the other day. |
| 00:08:25 |
I don't know if it was just |
| 00:08:28 |
- Oh, don't make fun, Daniel. |
| 00:08:29 |
- That was her dog. |
| 00:08:31 |
I'm saying it affected me. |
| 00:08:33 |
- Come on. |
| 00:08:36 |
Anyway, so Allegra and I are talking about |
| 00:08:38 |
how we all need to have |
| 00:08:42 |
connection, you know? |
| 00:08:45 |
Conversation. Sex. |
| 00:08:48 |
Companionship. |
| 00:08:51 |
And Allegra says, |
| 00:08:55 |
I gotta tell you, it really made me sad. |
| 00:08:57 |
Oh, baby, she'll find somebody. |
| 00:09:00 |
No, it made me sad for us. |
| 00:09:02 |
See, 'cause I've been struggling |
| 00:09:05 |
with whether a marriage |
| 00:09:13 |
over 20-plus years, |
| 00:09:15 |
or whether it's just inevitable |
| 00:09:19 |
What are you... |
| 00:09:20 |
Maybe being with someone else can have |
| 00:09:24 |
a renewing effect, because for me... |
| 00:09:32 |
I've been seeing a woman at work. |
| 00:09:38 |
We've been together six months now. |
| 00:09:39 |
We can't think of this as a failure. |
| 00:09:41 |
We have had a very successful marriage. |
| 00:09:44 |
We've had a long marriage, by any standard. |
| 00:09:47 |
They're grown, they're working, they're... |
| 00:09:49 |
Just open the car door, Daniel, |
| 00:10:02 |
The kids, that's... That's all you. |
| 00:10:06 |
You made all the sacrifices with that. |
| 00:10:09 |
But there's a logic to us |
| 00:10:12 |
And I think that they'll be able to see that. |
| 00:10:16 |
I don't understand a single word |
| 00:10:19 |
Who is this woman? |
| 00:10:23 |
Look, I'm tired of lying to you. |
| 00:10:26 |
I'm tired of making promises to Pam |
| 00:10:29 |
She deserves better. And so do you. |
| 00:10:33 |
And I won't give her up. |
| 00:10:48 |
Syl. |
| 00:10:54 |
I really like Edmund in this movie. |
| 00:10:57 |
I love this movie. |
| 00:10:59 |
Oh, I like it, but it's not Mansfield Park. |
| 00:11:02 |
It's more of an interpretation. |
| 00:11:04 |
- Do you know the book? |
| 00:11:06 |
And I happen to teach film. |
| 00:11:09 |
- Do you like this movie? |
| 00:11:11 |
Do you know it mixes up Fanny Price |
| 00:11:14 |
Makes Sir Bertram |
| 00:11:17 |
Well, it means well. |
| 00:11:19 |
And a little Jane Austen's |
| 00:11:21 |
No. No. No. |
| 00:11:25 |
I'm married to a man |
| 00:11:27 |
who would cancel our trip to Paris |
| 00:11:31 |
which is making me a fraud |
| 00:11:35 |
A French teacher |
| 00:11:38 |
The screenplay is outstanding. |
| 00:11:40 |
Excuse me. I'd like to talk to you. |
| 00:11:44 |
You seem to know a lot about Jane Austen. |
| 00:11:45 |
I do. |
| 00:11:47 |
You know, Prudie, |
| 00:11:50 |
You're always happy at first. |
| 00:11:53 |
I've been thinking, I'd like to get married |
| 00:11:58 |
My favorite was Ben Weinberg. |
| 00:12:04 |
He produced Fred Astaire movies. |
| 00:12:07 |
We lived in a house in Beverly Hills |
| 00:12:10 |
and a bridge and goldfish. |
| 00:12:12 |
That's how I met my friend Jocelyn. |
| 00:12:14 |
- Carlos. |
| 00:12:16 |
Ben was her godfather. Her family's loaded. |
| 00:12:19 |
Who's Jocelyn again? |
| 00:12:21 |
The one I wanna start the book club for. |
| 00:12:24 |
Eat. So, book club. |
| 00:12:27 |
I can get Jocelyn and maybe Sylvia. |
| 00:12:30 |
Jocelyn put Sylvia and Daniel together |
| 00:12:32 |
They've been together ever since. |
| 00:12:33 |
Though Sylvia's gonna want Daniel |
| 00:12:37 |
but I think it should be all women. |
| 00:12:38 |
I mean, men, they pontificate |
| 00:12:41 |
- Well, I think if you... |
| 00:12:43 |
but men, they keep monologuing. |
| 00:12:45 |
And we keep listening, |
| 00:12:48 |
- But if... |
| 00:12:50 |
Women want to share, |
| 00:12:53 |
if they crack open a book. |
| 00:12:55 |
Does your husband read? |
| 00:12:57 |
He reads stuff online. |
| 00:13:02 |
You know, it's gonna be |
| 00:13:05 |
because she has to read so much already. |
| 00:13:07 |
She works at the state library. But, oh! |
| 00:13:10 |
Now, this is brilliant. |
| 00:13:12 |
We'll only do books we've already read. |
| 00:13:14 |
How do we know what books |
| 00:13:17 |
Isn't it obvious? |
| 00:13:18 |
Mansfield Park, Pride and Prejudice, |
| 00:13:24 |
- I'm leaving some... |
| 00:13:25 |
And Sense and Sensibility. |
| 00:13:26 |
since I've read Sense and Sensibility. |
| 00:13:29 |
When I get back, hot water and lemon. |
| 00:13:31 |
And we still have to think |
| 00:13:32 |
Six novels, six people. |
| 00:13:33 |
We'll each be responsible for one book. |
| 00:13:36 |
All Jane Austen, all the time! |
| 00:13:38 |
It's the perfect antidote. |
| 00:13:39 |
- To what? |
| 00:13:42 |
I get Pride and Prejudice. |
| 00:13:48 |
I called the library |
| 00:13:51 |
Anne Marie's moving your indigenous |
| 00:13:55 |
I should go in. |
| 00:13:56 |
Pam Gower did her law degree at Bolt, |
| 00:14:02 |
She's an infant. |
| 00:14:03 |
She joined the firm |
| 00:14:08 |
Says here she was divorced in 2005. |
| 00:14:10 |
Bitch. She went right for Daniel. |
| 00:14:12 |
She's 45. |
| 00:14:15 |
She's not even young. |
| 00:14:16 |
- Do you think he has a brain tumor? |
| 00:14:20 |
Well, I'm rooting for the brain tumor. |
| 00:14:22 |
People our age don't fall in love. |
| 00:14:25 |
- You've never been in love? |
| 00:14:28 |
I mean, I don't know. |
| 00:14:32 |
but it just all seems |
| 00:14:34 |
Well, for a fiction, |
| 00:14:38 |
on an impulse. |
| 00:14:40 |
Do you think he was thinking, |
| 00:14:43 |
"I can't wait to get out of here?" |
| 00:14:44 |
- Am I really that uninteresting? |
| 00:14:47 |
- I can't believe I'm alone at this age. |
| 00:14:51 |
And listen to me. |
| 00:14:53 |
For as many years as you've been married |
| 00:14:56 |
It's just so unfair. |
| 00:14:58 |
He can start his life over again. |
| 00:15:00 |
You know, men can do that. |
| 00:15:04 |
You're beautiful, Mommy. |
| 00:15:06 |
Yes, and accomplished and interesting. |
| 00:15:08 |
You're not without your options, Sylvia. |
| 00:15:10 |
Daniel's the one with options. |
| 00:15:13 |
Twenty-year-olds. |
| 00:15:17 |
If I tried to sleep with someone |
| 00:15:21 |
Well, yeah, that's 'cause |
| 00:15:24 |
- My body will become a museum. |
| 00:15:27 |
We'll get you a membership to my gym. |
| 00:15:35 |
I don't wanna meet someone. |
| 00:15:38 |
I wanna pull the covers over my head |
| 00:15:43 |
And eat. |
| 00:15:46 |
I'm starving. |
| 00:15:48 |
Allegra, mija, go get me a dozen eggs. |
| 00:15:52 |
- I'm gonna make a flan. |
| 00:15:56 |
Can you stay with her this weekend? |
| 00:15:58 |
- Actually, I'm moving back in. |
| 00:16:01 |
My lease is almost up and, you know, |
| 00:16:06 |
Oh, sweetie, that's... Thank you. |
| 00:16:09 |
See, that's why people have children. |
| 00:16:12 |
My father left my mom when I was 10. |
| 00:16:16 |
That's when I knew |
| 00:16:19 |
I'm gonna be at Stockton |
| 00:16:21 |
if you need me, okay? |
| 00:16:41 |
- Are you here for the Buffy conference? |
| 00:16:52 |
Excuse me. |
| 00:16:58 |
My dog has the same exact collar. |
| 00:17:14 |
- She was invisible. |
| 00:17:16 |
It's a game. They're vampires. |
| 00:17:18 |
When you see one of them |
| 00:17:20 |
you should pretend you don't see her. |
| 00:17:21 |
That's why she didn't answer you. |
| 00:17:24 |
Thanks. |
| 00:17:28 |
- My name's Grigg. |
| 00:17:30 |
Grigg, G-R-l-G-G. |
| 00:17:35 |
Oh. I'm meeting some people, Grigg. |
| 00:17:40 |
Okay. |
| 00:17:58 |
Can I have a whiskey straight up? |
| 00:18:30 |
Excuse me. Could I apologize? I'm Jocelyn. |
| 00:18:34 |
Your friend isn't coming? |
| 00:18:36 |
I'm meeting him a little later. |
| 00:18:39 |
So how do you know so much |
| 00:18:43 |
That's funny. Well, it's... |
| 00:18:46 |
I'm here for a sci-fi conference. |
| 00:18:49 |
So the Buffy contingent is a kind of, |
| 00:18:54 |
Yeah. You read much science fiction? |
| 00:18:57 |
I'm more of a Jane Austen, |
| 00:19:00 |
Oh, right, yeah. No, I never really... |
| 00:19:02 |
Read those books? Yeah. Yeah. |
| 00:19:06 |
So, where do you live? |
| 00:19:09 |
I just relocated to the Sacramento area. |
| 00:19:15 |
You know who you might like? |
| 00:19:18 |
Left Hand of Darkness. Lathe of Heaven. |
| 00:19:21 |
She's science fiction |
| 00:19:24 |
- Have to check her out. |
| 00:19:26 |
My sisters love those books. |
| 00:19:33 |
And I'm willing to be directed as well. |
| 00:19:36 |
Seriously, you know, |
| 00:19:38 |
I promise to read it. |
| 00:19:40 |
I'll give you my email. |
| 00:19:43 |
That's the old one. |
| 00:19:46 |
You know what I'm actually |
| 00:19:50 |
How do you feel about older women? |
| 00:19:55 |
Great. Yeah. |
| 00:19:57 |
I have three older sisters, so... |
| 00:20:02 |
You know, I like all women. |
| 00:20:04 |
Good. That's great. |
| 00:20:08 |
- Well, thanks. I'll be in touch. |
| 00:20:10 |
Great. |
| 00:20:11 |
- Yeah, bye. |
| 00:20:17 |
Oh, good, Prudie, you're here. |
| 00:20:19 |
Save these tables, okay? |
| 00:20:21 |
- Hi, how are you? |
| 00:20:23 |
- So what do you want, Prudie? |
| 00:20:29 |
I have to be allowed |
| 00:20:31 |
I can only do this if there's no pressure. |
| 00:20:32 |
- Hey. Mom's looking for parking. |
| 00:20:35 |
That's Prudie. Say hi. |
| 00:20:38 |
We're still only five. Too bad about Daniel. |
| 00:20:41 |
He could've filled in, although clearly |
| 00:20:46 |
For Prudie's sake, |
| 00:20:49 |
We need real discussion. |
| 00:20:50 |
I sort of invited someone. |
| 00:20:54 |
- He? |
| 00:20:57 |
He's young, compliant, |
| 00:21:00 |
I'm sure Daniel's read Jane Austen. |
| 00:21:03 |
No man who reads Austen |
| 00:21:05 |
because it's better for the other woman. |
| 00:21:07 |
Chai latte with a shot. |
| 00:21:08 |
I'm so sorry. I'm really behind. |
| 00:21:11 |
I got slammed with orders on my website. |
| 00:21:14 |
I've actually... I've started adding |
| 00:21:17 |
- What do you think? |
| 00:21:21 |
I mean, my idea of jewelry |
| 00:21:22 |
is Coco Chanel's Byzantine oeuvre |
| 00:21:26 |
Oh! Definitely. Yeah, I get that. |
| 00:21:31 |
Being the only child of a woman |
| 00:21:34 |
after changing her name to Sky Girl, |
| 00:21:42 |
There she is. |
| 00:21:44 |
Actually, I'm not so sure |
| 00:21:49 |
So, quick, while Sylvia's still in line, |
| 00:21:53 |
She's still stuck in the wounded stage. |
| 00:21:55 |
- When she's ready for anger, I am so there. |
| 00:21:59 |
My dad left my mom. |
| 00:22:00 |
Prudie is no stranger |
| 00:22:03 |
Actually, we're fine now. |
| 00:22:05 |
You're married? But no ring, huh? |
| 00:22:08 |
Yeah, it's this hand, and... I teach French. |
| 00:22:11 |
You teach French, so you wear your |
| 00:22:13 |
- It's a European custom. |
| 00:22:16 |
So Prudie, you haven't said which book |
| 00:22:20 |
Maybe Persuasion. |
| 00:22:21 |
'Cause I'm increasingly drawn |
| 00:22:26 |
- Don't think I'm doing the book club. |
| 00:22:28 |
You lead one discussion. Pick a book. |
| 00:22:31 |
Well, I just saw Sense and Sensibility, |
| 00:22:35 |
and I think, |
| 00:22:39 |
I really get that whole two-women, |
| 00:22:42 |
tight-relationship, living-together- |
| 00:22:46 |
Is it weird living back at home again? |
| 00:22:48 |
I think what Austen is actually writing about |
| 00:22:51 |
moving separately toward what |
| 00:22:55 |
Okay, but the point is |
| 00:22:59 |
Maybe if you'd read the book |
| 00:23:01 |
- I thought I might do Emma. |
| 00:23:04 |
Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park. |
| 00:23:08 |
Which one's gonna make her feel better? |
| 00:23:09 |
Because we're only doing the book club |
| 00:23:12 |
I thought the reason for the book club |
| 00:23:14 |
- Exactly. |
| 00:23:16 |
No, don't make her do Northanger. |
| 00:23:17 |
I mean, first you're going off |
| 00:23:20 |
and then suddenly it's sort of like |
| 00:23:24 |
I'm afraid this isn't the book club |
| 00:23:27 |
I mean, I find when someone in the group |
| 00:23:30 |
it just... It sets the wrong tone. |
| 00:23:32 |
Okay, I'm happy to leave. |
| 00:23:33 |
- No, Allegra. No. Allegra. No. |
| 00:23:37 |
After this day, I am so happy |
| 00:23:39 |
- Hi. |
| 00:23:41 |
Sylvia, Prudie. |
| 00:23:43 |
Oh, I'm sorry. Sylvia Avila. |
| 00:23:45 |
- So, how do you feel about Mansfield Park? |
| 00:23:48 |
- I love Fanny Price. |
| 00:23:51 |
She's such a goodie-goodie. |
| 00:23:52 |
Six books, five people. |
| 00:23:55 |
- Definitely. |
| 00:23:57 |
- No, you're right. |
| 00:23:59 |
We don't have to do all six books, do we? |
| 00:24:01 |
Doing all six novels |
| 00:24:04 |
and it is the only reason I'm here. |
| 00:24:06 |
- Okay. |
| 00:24:20 |
My husband has never read Austen |
| 00:24:24 |
Okay, how should we do this? |
| 00:24:25 |
Just meet once a month |
| 00:24:27 |
Or, you know, pick some central location. |
| 00:24:29 |
No, I don't think a coffee shop's conducive. |
| 00:24:30 |
I'll host the first one, we'll start with Emma, |
| 00:24:33 |
But let's not get into this |
| 00:24:34 |
Bakeoffs! |
| 00:24:35 |
- No, we'll do finger foods. |
| 00:24:37 |
And we have to create |
| 00:24:41 |
- Oh, my God. |
| 00:24:43 |
- He came. |
| 00:24:44 |
Sorry, I sat in the wrong Starbucks |
| 00:24:52 |
Golly, there are a lot of these places, huh? |
| 00:24:55 |
But they've got interesting coffee |
| 00:25:02 |
- This is Grigg, everyone. |
| 00:25:06 |
- Prudie. |
| 00:25:08 |
- Sylvia. |
| 00:25:11 |
Hi. |
| 00:25:14 |
Well, I'm excited. |
| 00:25:16 |
Never read anything by Jane Austen before. |
| 00:25:22 |
What is it? |
| 00:25:23 |
Well, I went to the bookstore |
| 00:25:26 |
and I saw this. |
| 00:25:27 |
And I thought, |
| 00:25:30 |
So, I figured it might be a good idea |
| 00:25:33 |
in case I needed to refer back. |
| 00:25:35 |
Is this the order that we read them in? |
| 00:25:38 |
Do you wanna grab a coffee, Grigg? |
| 00:25:41 |
No, no. No, I'm fine. |
| 00:25:44 |
And... I bought this and they filled it up |
| 00:25:50 |
Yeah. |
| 00:25:51 |
Oh, you said in your email |
| 00:25:55 |
Yeah. Yeah, all of us, actually. |
| 00:25:59 |
I thought we might benefit |
| 00:26:02 |
- A little testosterone. |
| 00:26:04 |
- Okay. So, none of you ladies are married? |
| 00:26:15 |
Right, so we just... What? |
| 00:26:18 |
- We're doing Emma first. |
| 00:26:21 |
Oh. Starting in the middle, huh? |
| 00:26:23 |
- They're not sequels. |
| 00:26:26 |
Well, great. We just start anywhere. |
| 00:26:31 |
- What were you smoking? |
| 00:26:35 |
I thought he'd be a distraction for Sylvia. |
| 00:26:38 |
She needs an adventure. |
| 00:26:40 |
- What happened, you pull a DUI? |
| 00:26:44 |
Where do you live? |
| 00:26:46 |
About 20 miles north. Vista Mar. |
| 00:26:49 |
- You live in what, that development? |
| 00:26:53 |
I had this software company |
| 00:26:56 |
"You gotta buy a house." |
| 00:26:58 |
So, we were right by that exit. |
| 00:27:00 |
And I said, "Pull over." |
| 00:27:03 |
Got out, went in, pointed, bought a house. |
| 00:27:06 |
- Like that. |
| 00:27:08 |
Or at least buy some furniture. |
| 00:27:11 |
Well, I guess I'll have to, |
| 00:27:14 |
Allegra. |
| 00:27:16 |
- Bye. |
| 00:27:21 |
You know, I never picked a book. |
| 00:27:23 |
Could I do that abbey one? |
| 00:27:26 |
- Perfect. Yeah, it's yours. |
| 00:27:28 |
Great. All right. |
| 00:27:30 |
- Emma. Starting in the middle. |
| 00:27:39 |
Well, you gotta hand it to him |
| 00:27:42 |
It's the shortest, that's why. |
| 00:27:43 |
- He's eager to please. |
| 00:27:46 |
He is eager to please. He likes women. |
| 00:27:48 |
- A welcome quality in a man. |
| 00:27:52 |
- Do you think Sylvia responded to him? |
| 00:27:56 |
- Bye. |
| 00:28:17 |
You're up. |
| 00:28:29 |
Go big! |
| 00:29:19 |
You okay? |
| 00:29:24 |
Hey. Hey, you. Listen. |
| 00:29:26 |
Can you make sure |
| 00:29:29 |
Just make sure they don't call my mother. |
| 00:29:33 |
Mrs. Avila? This is Corinne. |
| 00:29:36 |
- I'm a friend of Allegra's. |
| 00:29:40 |
And she's asked me to call you. |
| 00:29:43 |
We're up here in Vacaville at a... |
| 00:29:45 |
- Jewelry show. |
| 00:29:47 |
I was showing her how to use my scooter |
| 00:29:52 |
It's minor. She banged up her wrist. |
| 00:29:54 |
She doesn't need you to come. It's nothing. |
| 00:29:58 |
He says she could be a bit sore. |
| 00:30:02 |
Allegra didn't want you to worry |
| 00:30:07 |
I'll remind her. Book club Monday night. |
| 00:31:31 |
I'm sorry. |
| 00:31:34 |
We don't shop on this side of town, ever. |
| 00:31:41 |
Sorry. |
| 00:31:44 |
You can have this Whole Foods. |
| 00:31:58 |
So I was getting the wine for book club |
| 00:32:03 |
He was with her. |
| 00:32:04 |
- Oh, sweetie. |
| 00:32:05 |
They were going home to make dinner. |
| 00:32:09 |
He was wearing a jacket with a zipper. |
| 00:32:11 |
- No. |
| 00:32:15 |
I just... I walk around this house, |
| 00:32:20 |
I feel like Fanny Price |
| 00:32:23 |
- That woman is living my life. |
| 00:32:27 |
Are you all right? |
| 00:32:29 |
I know you like being alone, |
| 00:32:39 |
So what'd you think about Grigg? |
| 00:32:43 |
The book club guy. |
| 00:32:46 |
If you like him, I like him. |
| 00:32:47 |
- How about those dreamy eyes? |
| 00:32:51 |
Well, notice. |
| 00:32:52 |
Can you come early tomorrow |
| 00:32:55 |
That's my girls. That's my girls. |
| 00:32:59 |
It's a smallish world, pedigreed Ridgebacks. |
| 00:33:01 |
- "Pedigreed" is... |
| 00:33:05 |
Certain bloodlines |
| 00:33:08 |
Mine are out of Queenie of the Serengeti. |
| 00:33:13 |
I bred her to my first |
| 00:33:16 |
Sire's the boy dog. Great disposition. |
| 00:33:21 |
- I'm sorry. |
| 00:33:23 |
Miss him. But Queenie was the real star. |
| 00:33:26 |
Ridgebacks are matriarchal. |
| 00:33:31 |
Hey, hey, hey! Sahara, off! |
| 00:33:33 |
Sorry. Sorry about that. |
| 00:33:37 |
Sahara I had to have spayed. |
| 00:33:40 |
I still show her, though. |
| 00:33:45 |
- Yeah? |
| 00:33:52 |
Well, I got you those books. |
| 00:33:54 |
You know the ones I suggested? |
| 00:33:57 |
Oh, yeah. Thanks, that was thoughtful. |
| 00:34:02 |
You don't have to bring a hostess gift |
| 00:34:05 |
It's just a book club. |
| 00:34:09 |
Where's the heat |
| 00:34:12 |
There's no animal passion. |
| 00:34:13 |
Look at Frank Churchill and Miss Fairfax. |
| 00:34:16 |
You can tell they're really in love |
| 00:34:19 |
And that's good? |
| 00:34:20 |
Emma and Mr. Knightley, |
| 00:34:26 |
Still, I think Mr. Knightley's very yummy. |
| 00:34:29 |
He may be my favorite of all the Austen men. |
| 00:34:32 |
Sans passion I'amour n'est rien. |
| 00:34:35 |
- That's not Jane's theme, is it? |
| 00:34:37 |
That's cozy. |
| 00:34:41 |
What we're meant to see |
| 00:34:45 |
so much as the control of it, |
| 00:34:48 |
Après moi, le deluge. |
| 00:34:51 |
But Prudie's right, it is in all the novels. |
| 00:34:54 |
Sense and Sensibility, obviously. |
| 00:34:56 |
Oh, and then there's Maria's infidelity |
| 00:34:59 |
I forgot there's infidelity in Mansfield Park. |
| 00:35:01 |
Austen's all about keeping it zipped. |
| 00:35:03 |
Yeah, but isn't physical attraction |
| 00:35:08 |
You know, like gravity. |
| 00:35:11 |
You know, downhill, release the brakes, |
| 00:35:16 |
Yeah. Love makes people crazy. |
| 00:35:18 |
- It does not excuse bad behavior. |
| 00:35:21 |
And Mr. Knightley is violently in love. |
| 00:35:25 |
And yet, he's never anything |
| 00:35:28 |
- Yeah, a gentleman who scolds people. |
| 00:35:30 |
You know, just Emma, |
| 00:35:33 |
C'est vrai. C'est typique. |
| 00:35:35 |
A man can do whatever he likes |
| 00:35:38 |
I don't think that's what Austen's saying. |
| 00:35:40 |
Actually, Emma stops being crazy |
| 00:35:43 |
It's the event of the book. |
| 00:35:46 |
One thing that I noticed about Emma |
| 00:35:49 |
The gypsies, |
| 00:35:53 |
Mr. Woodhouse's worries. |
| 00:35:54 |
Austen's entire thesis is that |
| 00:35:58 |
I mean, Emma, she acts |
| 00:36:03 |
Yes, Grigg, I'm afraid |
| 00:36:05 |
You know, I've read that the Emma plot, |
| 00:36:07 |
the humbling of the pretty, know-it-all girl |
| 00:36:11 |
Yes, universally satisfying. |
| 00:36:15 |
Okay. Well, what bothered me |
| 00:36:17 |
was how Emma kept forcing |
| 00:36:20 |
And then she finds out |
| 00:36:22 |
and suddenly, "Ew!" |
| 00:36:24 |
I think Jane was being ironic there. |
| 00:36:27 |
- Emma's a snob. |
| 00:36:29 |
People are instinctively drawn to partners |
| 00:36:33 |
The pretty marry the pretty, |
| 00:36:36 |
To the detriment of the breed, |
| 00:36:38 |
God, you're such an Emma. Isn't she? |
| 00:36:41 |
You'd love to pair up the whole world, |
| 00:36:44 |
Put me together with Daniel. |
| 00:36:50 |
And you had beautiful children. |
| 00:36:55 |
Oh, no, don't get up, Jocelyn. |
| 00:37:03 |
Mom. |
| 00:37:27 |
I hope we didn't scare Grigg away. |
| 00:37:29 |
- Yeah, he sure got out of here fast. |
| 00:37:33 |
Was the book club a bad idea? |
| 00:37:34 |
Austen has a way of making you forget |
| 00:37:38 |
Well, she's all about the weddings, Jane. |
| 00:37:41 |
Yeah, "Jane." Did you catch that? |
| 00:37:43 |
Oh, Prudie? |
| 00:37:46 |
And why did she have to speak in French? |
| 00:37:48 |
And if so, couldn't she do it in France, |
| 00:37:52 |
I feel for Prudie. |
| 00:37:58 |
Okay, I will call you when I land in Dallas. |
| 00:38:02 |
Let me call you when I check in the hotel |
| 00:38:05 |
- 'cause we're gonna wanna get there early. |
| 00:38:07 |
Have fun with your mom. |
| 00:38:09 |
- Hey, Sky. Hi. |
| 00:38:10 |
Mom, you were supposed |
| 00:38:13 |
I'm gonna get a ticket! |
| 00:38:14 |
- Yo! |
| 00:38:17 |
So... Hey, what're we doing today? |
| 00:38:19 |
Well, I'm teaching. It's a school day, okay? |
| 00:38:22 |
So I'm gonna drop you at the house. |
| 00:38:23 |
Or you can take the car |
| 00:38:25 |
- No, no, I'll hang with you. |
| 00:38:28 |
They don't allow that. |
| 00:38:30 |
Mom, could you... Oh, my God, please. |
| 00:38:34 |
Okay, I can't. |
| 00:38:37 |
Mom, I'm late. Please. Come on. |
| 00:38:39 |
Oh, ditch them. Blow them off. |
| 00:38:41 |
Tell them your mother doesn't wanna |
| 00:38:48 |
What's the story with the clothes? |
| 00:38:52 |
No, I dress like a teacher. |
| 00:38:56 |
Mom, mind your stupid... For everyone. |
| 00:38:59 |
Why would anyone |
| 00:39:01 |
I hated my teachers. |
| 00:39:03 |
Well, I'm just gonna settle you at the house. |
| 00:39:05 |
No, I'll drop you at school |
| 00:39:09 |
- Should you be driving? |
| 00:39:13 |
Okay, you know what? |
| 00:39:17 |
Okay? Don't forget. |
| 00:39:29 |
I'm in Brigadoon. |
| 00:39:34 |
"Of course I'm all right." |
| 00:39:36 |
"I'd have died |
| 00:39:38 |
"I love you so." |
| 00:39:40 |
"But how can you be sure in just one day?" |
| 00:39:42 |
"I do not know, 'tis just |
| 00:39:43 |
"when a lass falls in and out of love, |
| 00:39:48 |
- What? |
| 00:39:51 |
Well, languages are my speciality. |
| 00:39:53 |
French teacher. |
| 00:39:58 |
It's your line. |
| 00:40:00 |
"Do you think you're in love with me?" |
| 00:40:03 |
"Think? What good does thinking do? |
| 00:40:04 |
"But what I feel is something else." |
| 00:40:06 |
"What do ye feel then, Tommy?" |
| 00:40:10 |
And then we kiss. |
| 00:40:14 |
Who plays opposite you? |
| 00:40:18 |
Karen Bhave. |
| 00:40:21 |
I think she only tried out because |
| 00:40:32 |
I saw you watching me in the library. |
| 00:40:34 |
- I wasn't watching. |
| 00:40:38 |
No, I was reading. |
| 00:40:40 |
- You were watching. |
| 00:40:45 |
- I was reading this book... |
| 00:40:46 |
...about some people |
| 00:40:49 |
- Austen. |
| 00:40:50 |
We're doing Mansfield Park |
| 00:40:54 |
I actually bought the book already. |
| 00:41:00 |
Delay gratification. That sort of thing. |
| 00:41:07 |
- So what happens? |
| 00:41:10 |
Well, they decide to put on a play |
| 00:41:13 |
And rehearsing it, it sort of unleashes them. |
| 00:41:17 |
Two of them actually fall in love, and one... |
| 00:41:20 |
One of them, Maria Bertram, is set... Stop it. |
| 00:41:23 |
- Is set to marry someone else. |
| 00:41:26 |
Well, I think... I think... |
| 00:41:28 |
I think what Austen is trying to say |
| 00:41:32 |
All of that intimacy backstage, |
| 00:41:36 |
and onstage you're gazing at each other, |
| 00:41:42 |
I mean... |
| 00:41:45 |
Well, you can see how it happens. |
| 00:41:46 |
Yeah, I can see it happening, |
| 00:41:51 |
So, do you wanna go over it again? |
| 00:42:22 |
Hello? |
| 00:42:31 |
- Yeah. |
| 00:42:33 |
- Hi. Hey. |
| 00:42:35 |
- So how's Mansfield Park coming? |
| 00:42:38 |
Am I disturbing you? |
| 00:42:40 |
I'm just writing an email to my sisters |
| 00:42:44 |
And Ursula Le Guin. |
| 00:42:46 |
- Did you ever read Left Hand of Darkness? |
| 00:42:49 |
Hey, listen, Bernadette and I |
| 00:42:50 |
we hope Allegra didn't |
| 00:42:53 |
- Which one is Allegra? |
| 00:42:56 |
Really pretty, really passionate, |
| 00:42:58 |
Ask him if he can make time today. |
| 00:43:00 |
You might take Sylvia to lunch today. |
| 00:43:02 |
Tell him that Sylvia and Daniel are |
| 00:43:06 |
She could use the ego boost. |
| 00:43:07 |
You have Sylvia's number, right? |
| 00:43:12 |
Would you wanna come, too? |
| 00:43:15 |
Listen, I know |
| 00:43:17 |
but I really think |
| 00:43:19 |
Sahara. I gotta go, okay? |
| 00:43:30 |
This woman I like |
| 00:43:33 |
She's sort of pushing me to date this girl, |
| 00:43:41 |
She said I should |
| 00:43:51 |
Bank assets will be divided equally. |
| 00:43:54 |
Each individual will keep his or her own car, |
| 00:43:57 |
and each will be wholly responsible |
| 00:44:01 |
The house owned by Daniel and Sylvia |
| 00:44:05 |
with both parties paying an equal share of |
| 00:44:10 |
Sylvia may live in the house. Daniel will not. |
| 00:44:30 |
As soon as Daniel hit 50, his wheels fell off. |
| 00:44:33 |
Here's what I get from Mansfield Park. |
| 00:44:35 |
That a marriage is only as strong |
| 00:44:38 |
Daniel has always wanted |
| 00:44:41 |
This is a pretty big wobble. |
| 00:44:43 |
Mansfield Park is full of wobblers. |
| 00:44:45 |
Lady Bertram lying around, |
| 00:44:49 |
Fanny Price is the rock of that family. |
| 00:44:51 |
Fanny's cousin Maria, married six months, |
| 00:44:54 |
And don't forget Fanny's father, |
| 00:44:56 |
Marry the weak link and you're screwed. |
| 00:44:59 |
No wonder why Austen never married. |
| 00:45:03 |
- I think I finally hate him. |
| 00:45:08 |
I'm home. I'm going out again. |
| 00:45:28 |
You just missed this guy |
| 00:45:31 |
who got buried up to his neck |
| 00:45:37 |
And they were real. |
| 00:45:41 |
You'd think it'd be illegal |
| 00:45:44 |
Here, grab a spoon. |
| 00:45:48 |
You have to leave. |
| 00:45:53 |
You put your things in your suitcase |
| 00:46:10 |
- Want me to... |
| 00:46:13 |
- How did you break it? |
| 00:46:15 |
Which was kind of lucky, actually. |
| 00:46:16 |
'Cause I met this girl, Corinne, |
| 00:46:21 |
Which, um, |
| 00:46:23 |
isn't so great, really, |
| 00:46:25 |
'cause if she had to choose |
| 00:46:27 |
she'd probably choose writing. |
| 00:46:30 |
But she doesn't ever have to choose. |
| 00:46:33 |
So you're a lesbian. Full-time? |
| 00:46:38 |
You mean, do I ever slip |
| 00:46:41 |
No, no, my sister Cat, |
| 00:46:45 |
She lives in Idaho. |
| 00:46:47 |
Your sister isn't Cat Harris. |
| 00:46:49 |
- You know her? |
| 00:46:51 |
I met her through my doctor friend |
| 00:46:56 |
You know my sister, Bianca? |
| 00:46:58 |
I forgot that Bianca and Cat are sisters. |
| 00:47:00 |
Those are your sisters! |
| 00:47:03 |
Our world is an English village. |
| 00:47:08 |
My topic is the long-suffering daughter. |
| 00:47:11 |
One can't help but see the parallels |
| 00:47:14 |
between the long-suffering |
| 00:47:17 |
and the long-suffering Anne Eliot |
| 00:47:19 |
I hate Fanny Price. |
| 00:47:21 |
Excuse me, we're not electing |
| 00:47:25 |
I mean, yes, if this were high school, yes, |
| 00:47:27 |
we all know Elizabeth Bennet |
| 00:47:30 |
and that Fanny would be least. |
| 00:47:32 |
- Who's Elizabeth Bennet? |
| 00:47:36 |
Don't give away too much, |
| 00:47:39 |
- You don't know Pride and Prejudice? |
| 00:47:42 |
I think I read somewhere that Fanny Price |
| 00:47:45 |
- Fanny's boring. |
| 00:47:47 |
She's Horton Hatches the Egg. |
| 00:47:50 |
She sits on that nest |
| 00:47:52 |
Well, she'd probably be easier to like |
| 00:47:55 |
if she would just |
| 00:47:57 |
- She doesn't allow it in herself. |
| 00:47:59 |
I didn't see what was so bad |
| 00:48:02 |
Yes. Thank you, Grigg. |
| 00:48:05 |
Well, Austen, she's always suspicious |
| 00:48:09 |
Just once I'd like to pick up Mansfield Park |
| 00:48:11 |
and see Fanny end up in the sack |
| 00:48:15 |
Yes! Yes! |
| 00:48:16 |
You can't read these novels |
| 00:48:18 |
if she doesn't have a little thing |
| 00:48:20 |
Well, who doesn't? |
| 00:48:21 |
Except for Fanny Price. |
| 00:48:23 |
Okay, look. I love Fanny. She works hard. |
| 00:48:27 |
- She puts her family's needs above her own. |
| 00:48:30 |
And she never, ever |
| 00:48:33 |
Even when he's stupid enough |
| 00:48:35 |
take up with Mary Crawford. |
| 00:48:45 |
Oh, dear. |
| 00:48:47 |
I thought Mansfield Park would be safe, |
| 00:48:50 |
I don't think we're gonna get through |
| 00:48:52 |
Reading Jane Austen is a freaking minefield. |
| 00:48:57 |
You're awfully quiet, Grigg. Any thoughts? |
| 00:49:01 |
Yeah. |
| 00:49:16 |
Yeah. Yes! |
| 00:49:17 |
The relationship |
| 00:49:20 |
They seemed like brother and sister. |
| 00:49:22 |
But then in the end, |
| 00:49:26 |
but it's in reverse. You know? |
| 00:49:32 |
he gets over Princess Leia |
| 00:49:35 |
Edmund gets over Miss Crawford and gets it |
| 00:49:48 |
Did that bother anybody else? |
| 00:49:50 |
- Weren't you gonna call Sylvia for lunch? |
| 00:49:54 |
- You know Allegra's gay, right? |
| 00:49:58 |
Oh. I love your furniture, in your house. |
| 00:50:00 |
And before we do Northanger Abbey, |
| 00:50:03 |
- Is something going on between these two? |
| 00:50:06 |
Would you come with me, |
| 00:50:09 |
If you take Sylvia to lunch. |
| 00:50:15 |
Great. |
| 00:50:17 |
Good, that's great. |
| 00:50:19 |
- Okay, see you. |
| 00:50:21 |
- Take care. |
| 00:50:23 |
I caught him staring at my titties. |
| 00:50:28 |
I like that. |
| 00:50:35 |
- I like this. |
| 00:50:41 |
I like things that are difficult. I'll take it. |
| 00:50:46 |
Wait, you just don't buy |
| 00:50:48 |
- You don't even know if it'll fit. |
| 00:50:51 |
You getting hungry? |
| 00:50:55 |
Grigg, I don't mean to be rude, |
| 00:50:59 |
do you have a lot of money? |
| 00:51:01 |
Never know how to answer that. |
| 00:51:05 |
Yeah, I have enough money. |
| 00:51:07 |
But, you know, |
| 00:51:11 |
- May I? |
| 00:51:13 |
You should bring Sylvia here. |
| 00:51:15 |
You know, she's planning |
| 00:51:17 |
- She's busy. |
| 00:51:20 |
It's hard to be alone. |
| 00:51:26 |
- Well, maybe her husband will come back. |
| 00:51:28 |
Jane Austen should write that. |
| 00:51:30 |
She did. In Persuasion. |
| 00:51:32 |
Anne Eliot is in love with this guy |
| 00:51:36 |
But her family thinks that |
| 00:51:38 |
- Right. |
| 00:51:39 |
And when he comes back |
| 00:51:41 |
- But he's no longer in love with her. |
| 00:51:45 |
- Oh, so you're enjoying the Austen, I see. |
| 00:51:53 |
- You didn't like Le Guin? |
| 00:51:56 |
How are you gonna know what you like |
| 00:51:58 |
I think at my age I should know what I like. |
| 00:52:00 |
Age? Come on, age. |
| 00:52:01 |
Age has nothing to do with anything. |
| 00:52:02 |
I was willing to read girly books |
| 00:52:06 |
She is not girly. |
| 00:52:07 |
Which I found out. |
| 00:52:09 |
So maybe you would find out |
| 00:52:11 |
- Aliens on rocket ships. |
| 00:52:17 |
All right, hurry up and finish. |
| 00:52:19 |
What you have to understand |
| 00:52:22 |
my dad and I |
| 00:52:26 |
You know, there was my mom, |
| 00:52:29 |
So there'd be like 15 girls in the house. |
| 00:52:32 |
My dad would hide out in the shed |
| 00:52:36 |
And he'd listen to ballgame, |
| 00:52:40 |
He actually died a couple years ago |
| 00:52:43 |
- I'm so sorry. |
| 00:52:47 |
I'm like 10 years old, |
| 00:52:50 |
and he shows me some magazines |
| 00:52:54 |
He says, "This is strictly guy stuff. |
| 00:52:58 |
"Tell no one." |
| 00:53:06 |
Yeah, so from then on, it's like... |
| 00:53:08 |
I don't know... |
| 00:53:12 |
These were like the first books |
| 00:53:15 |
and I never got over it. |
| 00:53:18 |
Arthur C. Clarke. He's a visionary writer. |
| 00:53:22 |
Theodore Sturgeon. Amazing. |
| 00:53:26 |
Philip K. Dick. |
| 00:53:32 |
- Andre Norton. |
| 00:53:36 |
Except, as it turns out, |
| 00:53:39 |
- a.k.a. Alice Mary Norton. |
| 00:53:43 |
- James Tiptree, Jr. |
| 00:53:45 |
Real name, Alice Sheldon. Pat Murphy. |
| 00:53:49 |
- Patrice Anne... |
| 00:53:54 |
But by that time I liked girls. |
| 00:54:06 |
You win. I'll read the Le Guin. |
| 00:54:11 |
Great. |
| 00:54:27 |
- Tell me a secret. |
| 00:54:30 |
No. You have better secrets. |
| 00:54:38 |
Tell me. |
| 00:54:42 |
Okay, but this is not something |
| 00:54:47 |
There was this special needs kid |
| 00:54:51 |
He wore his hat squashed down |
| 00:54:55 |
And he was always carrying around |
| 00:55:01 |
And, one day, I was in fourth grade, |
| 00:55:05 |
I saw that he was holding his penis. |
| 00:55:09 |
So, I just went back to my friends. |
| 00:55:12 |
Well, later my dad picked me up. |
| 00:55:15 |
And he was distracted, |
| 00:55:18 |
And I don't know why, but... |
| 00:55:20 |
I said, "Dad, this boy at school |
| 00:55:24 |
- Wait. What was his name? |
| 00:55:27 |
We actually got their address |
| 00:55:30 |
And Benny's mom answers the door. |
| 00:55:37 |
She has these two long, skinny gray braids. |
| 00:55:42 |
And she starts crying. |
| 00:55:48 |
And he says, |
| 00:55:52 |
And then right behind her is Benny |
| 00:56:00 |
And my dad just stops. |
| 00:56:06 |
'Cause he had a little brother like that |
| 00:56:11 |
Oh, my God. |
| 00:56:13 |
So we get back in the car |
| 00:56:21 |
And then he says, "I think you knew |
| 00:56:26 |
"you were leaving out |
| 00:56:32 |
And I just felt horrible. |
| 00:56:35 |
You know, I didn't really know |
| 00:56:40 |
I just wanted his attention. |
| 00:57:01 |
Have you lost your mind? |
| 00:57:03 |
I thought about... I thought about calling. |
| 00:57:07 |
- I... But I didn't wanna wake you. |
| 00:57:12 |
Somebody's gotta mow the lawn. |
| 00:57:13 |
Well, I'll pay somebody. |
| 00:57:15 |
You know? I mean, this is my home. |
| 00:57:21 |
What if I had somebody staying over? |
| 00:57:24 |
- Are you seeing someone? |
| 00:57:27 |
I didn't mean that in a weird kind of way. |
| 00:57:32 |
I just missed hearing what's going on here. |
| 00:57:36 |
Allegra, she acts like she hates me, |
| 00:57:41 |
they call from school, |
| 00:57:43 |
They're ashamed of their father. |
| 00:57:49 |
So Diego says you told him |
| 00:57:54 |
- Thirty seconds. |
| 00:57:58 |
Is there something in the house |
| 00:57:59 |
Do you think |
| 00:58:01 |
- No, no... |
| 00:58:03 |
You wanna fix things? |
| 00:58:06 |
You can't fix this. |
| 00:58:09 |
You're not my husband. |
| 00:58:12 |
- All that's gone now. |
| 00:58:16 |
- No, you cannot call me next weekend. |
| 00:58:19 |
I'll check in with you, okay? |
| 00:58:51 |
My mom said I could buy a motorcycle |
| 00:58:53 |
It's her one stipulation, right? |
| 00:58:58 |
So I work at the mall. |
| 00:58:59 |
And I have that whole Kerouac thing |
| 00:59:01 |
and now it's, "No." |
| 00:59:03 |
I'm 18 years old. |
| 00:59:08 |
But you had a motorcycle once. |
| 00:59:10 |
And you ended up hating it. |
| 00:59:12 |
Remember, Trey? |
| 00:59:14 |
Remember? You used to park it |
| 00:59:17 |
It was red and black. And... |
| 00:59:19 |
You got really tired of taking care of it. |
| 00:59:22 |
What're you talking about? |
| 00:59:24 |
That was my mom's technique |
| 00:59:28 |
She'd say, "But you had |
| 00:59:33 |
"Remember? We had a big cake |
| 00:59:36 |
"with pink icing and roses all over it. |
| 00:59:40 |
"And you hated it." |
| 00:59:43 |
And she was totally messing with you? |
| 00:59:45 |
- It got her out of giving me a birthday party. |
| 00:59:47 |
I mean, I have wonderful memories of |
| 00:59:51 |
balloons and ballerinas and rollercoasters. |
| 01:00:01 |
And it never happened. |
| 01:00:07 |
"We certainly can't have a big party |
| 01:00:14 |
So, when did you finally figure it out? |
| 01:00:18 |
Well, by then she had this other trick. |
| 01:00:26 |
So suggest something to me. |
| 01:00:31 |
Okay. Um... |
| 01:00:36 |
Let's get a room. |
| 01:00:39 |
Let's not get a room and just say we did. |
| 01:00:43 |
Then we give up? |
| 01:00:50 |
You weren't a very persistent kid, were you? |
| 01:00:52 |
- Trey, you really shouldn't come on to me. |
| 01:00:55 |
Because you're a teacher? |
| 01:01:07 |
I... We can't do this. |
| 01:01:18 |
Let's get out of here. |
| 01:01:22 |
We'll go back to my place. We'll just talk. |
| 01:01:24 |
Let's not and just wish we did. |
| 01:01:29 |
I don't wanna pretend. |
| 01:01:39 |
Um, we're late. |
| 01:01:44 |
Just give me a second. |
| 01:01:48 |
God. |
| 01:02:23 |
- Does this place seem creepy? |
| 01:02:28 |
- Wow, Sylvia, you look great! |
| 01:02:30 |
It's the new me. |
| 01:02:33 |
- Hey, how's Corinne doing? |
| 01:02:35 |
So, are we up for Grigg's amazing insights |
| 01:02:38 |
Stop it. He might surprise you. |
| 01:02:40 |
- I hope his couch has arrived. |
| 01:02:43 |
- Passing around cans of aerosol cheese? |
| 01:02:46 |
Grigg is a grownup. |
| 01:02:50 |
All right. |
| 01:02:53 |
Welcome. Please come in. |
| 01:02:55 |
- Whoa. |
| 01:02:59 |
Apparently, he thinks it's Halloween. |
| 01:03:06 |
- No, it's Northanger Abbey! It's Gothic! |
| 01:03:16 |
No one gets out alive! |
| 01:03:19 |
- I don't like this. I don't like this. |
| 01:03:22 |
- Grigg? Grigg? Grigg? |
| 01:03:27 |
- He's just having fun... |
| 01:03:29 |
It's okay. It's all right. |
| 01:03:32 |
- Look. |
| 01:03:38 |
- It's a program. |
| 01:03:39 |
This is my remote. |
| 01:03:43 |
Prudie? Oh, hi, Dean. |
| 01:03:47 |
- What do you do on Halloween? |
| 01:03:49 |
Halloween is much, much bigger. |
| 01:03:52 |
- Wait. |
| 01:03:54 |
I got inspired reading |
| 01:03:56 |
You know, the book in Northanger Abbey |
| 01:04:00 |
- You read The Mysteries of Udolpho? |
| 01:04:02 |
- Hey, Grigg, that color almost works. |
| 01:04:05 |
- He read The Mysteries of Udolpho. |
| 01:04:07 |
Wait, that book they were reading |
| 01:04:10 |
Yeah, with the black veils |
| 01:04:13 |
- Didn't you think that sounded great? |
| 01:04:17 |
Dean, I'm so sorry. |
| 01:04:20 |
Prudie said to ask you. |
| 01:04:21 |
She's supposed to talk or something, |
| 01:04:24 |
Persuasion. |
| 01:04:26 |
We don't know how long we're gonna be |
| 01:04:29 |
She may have to cancel. |
| 01:04:30 |
Tell her we'll save Persuasion for the end. |
| 01:04:32 |
It's better to do it last, anyway. |
| 01:04:36 |
I thought Northanger Abbey was |
| 01:04:38 |
- Written first. Published last. |
| 01:04:41 |
- Why? |
| 01:04:43 |
'Cause it's a novel about novels. |
| 01:04:44 |
You know? You see Austen as |
| 01:04:49 |
"Who's a heroine? |
| 01:04:52 |
"Are novels a waste of time? Am I |
| 01:04:55 |
- I like that. |
| 01:04:59 |
Thanks. |
| 01:05:01 |
Prudie's mother died. |
| 01:05:03 |
- What? |
| 01:05:06 |
She got into her car yesterday, |
| 01:05:10 |
She made a left coming out of a parking lot |
| 01:05:15 |
- Jesus. |
| 01:05:16 |
- Were Prudie and her mom close? |
| 01:05:25 |
What do we think? Is Persuasion |
| 01:05:28 |
with the dead mother and everything? |
| 01:05:30 |
She doesn't die on the page. |
| 01:05:32 |
Even Sense and Sensibility, the dad dies. |
| 01:05:35 |
What about Pride and Prejudice? |
| 01:05:37 |
I could use a little encounter in the woods |
| 01:05:41 |
- Are we all up for a little romance? |
| 01:05:44 |
I think we're all overdue. |
| 01:05:49 |
I still can't believe you read |
| 01:05:53 |
- Bravo, Grigg. Bravo. |
| 01:05:56 |
- You can move in with us any time, Grigg. |
| 01:06:02 |
She loves these. |
| 01:06:05 |
Are you and Grigg seeing each other? |
| 01:06:08 |
No. He's interested in Sylvia, obviously. |
| 01:06:42 |
I don't wanna fight, okay? |
| 01:06:43 |
I don't know why you didn't |
| 01:06:45 |
and have sex with her. |
| 01:06:50 |
I talked to her... |
| 01:06:52 |
Longer. Longer, Dean. |
| 01:06:54 |
And with those ridiculous plastic boobs. |
| 01:07:01 |
Prudie, you know, |
| 01:07:03 |
Okay. Chloe Baher is not my friend, Dean. |
| 01:07:07 |
Chloe Baher came to my mother's funeral |
| 01:07:12 |
And you hit on her! |
| 01:07:13 |
- I do... I do... |
| 01:07:15 |
I was not hitting on her. |
| 01:07:33 |
You know, when I was in the 10th grade, |
| 01:07:35 |
I wrote an entire paper on Julius Caesar |
| 01:07:40 |
And Chloe Baher removed it from my locker |
| 01:07:47 |
And everyone laughed at me. |
| 01:07:52 |
Baby, high school's over. |
| 01:07:55 |
High school's never over. |
| 01:08:07 |
"And turning 'round, |
| 01:08:10 |
"till catching her eye, |
| 01:08:14 |
"'She is tolerable but not handsome |
| 01:08:18 |
"'I am in no humor at present to give |
| 01:08:22 |
"'who are slighted by other men. |
| 01:08:23 |
"'You had better return to your partner |
| 01:08:26 |
"'for you are wasting your time with me."' |
| 01:08:33 |
You know, I don't know if we can |
| 01:08:35 |
because it's the library dinner. |
| 01:08:36 |
Well, we need to go for Sylvia. |
| 01:08:39 |
- That's so unnecessary. |
| 01:08:42 |
- His firm's buying a table. |
| 01:08:44 |
All of us, the book club. |
| 01:08:46 |
- Show up in force. |
| 01:08:48 |
"The Central Valley River City |
| 01:08:53 |
is what Grigg calls it. |
| 01:08:55 |
He's so funny. I'm so glad |
| 01:08:57 |
He's taking her to lunch. |
| 01:08:59 |
I sure hope there's some dancing |
| 01:09:02 |
I'm trying to diet. |
| 01:09:05 |
My husband is bringing a date |
| 01:09:09 |
Yeah, re-reading Pride and Prejudice again, |
| 01:09:11 |
I keep thinking, |
| 01:09:13 |
- Where's Austen's novel on divorce? |
| 01:09:16 |
Depends who you're courting, I guess. |
| 01:09:19 |
- Does Jocelyn ever go out with anyone? |
| 01:09:25 |
She used to date my husband |
| 01:09:27 |
Then she sort of gave him to me. |
| 01:09:31 |
Daniel's the one |
| 01:09:34 |
- She traded your husband for a dog? |
| 01:09:40 |
If loving is letting go, |
| 01:09:43 |
then whoever wants Jocelyn is going to |
| 01:10:01 |
- Hey. |
| 01:10:04 |
Hey. |
| 01:10:05 |
Do you know Lynne from my writing group? |
| 01:10:07 |
- I don't, actually. Allegra. |
| 01:10:09 |
Listen, I just have to say, |
| 01:10:12 |
Ever since you two have been together, |
| 01:10:14 |
Didn't you just love that story |
| 01:10:17 |
Well, Allegra and I don't discuss |
| 01:10:23 |
Okay. |
| 01:10:31 |
"Dear Ms. Corinne Mahern, we regret |
| 01:10:35 |
"that we must decline to publish |
| 01:10:38 |
"Benny's Basketball" is strong narratively, |
| 01:10:41 |
"but the depiction of your penis-waving |
| 01:10:47 |
"And isn't the title |
| 01:10:52 |
"as a metaphor for your parents' divorce? |
| 01:10:54 |
"Yet we confess that "Skydiver" |
| 01:10:58 |
"Why would a beautiful, self-centered |
| 01:11:11 |
I thought we could drive together. |
| 01:11:14 |
We should hurry. |
| 01:11:17 |
- Sahara, off. |
| 01:11:19 |
- She said she had to get there early. |
| 01:11:22 |
No, she happened to mention it at lunch. |
| 01:11:27 |
That's a great dress. |
| 01:11:31 |
Stay. |
| 01:11:32 |
I converted it to biodiesel. |
| 01:11:40 |
This is so great. I never get to drive it. |
| 01:11:45 |
Or vacuum it, apparently. |
| 01:11:52 |
I like your hair. |
| 01:11:55 |
You need to dance with Sylvia tonight. |
| 01:11:59 |
- You do know how to dance, don't you? |
| 01:12:02 |
I have three older sisters. I can dance. |
| 01:12:05 |
Wait, if we stay in this lane, |
| 01:12:07 |
Given that I have to convert |
| 01:12:10 |
every time I fill up the tank, |
| 01:12:13 |
We're barely moving. |
| 01:12:17 |
You ever read those Le Guin books |
| 01:12:20 |
I prefer books about real people. |
| 01:12:24 |
Okay, so Elizabeth Bennet is real |
| 01:12:29 |
Is that it? |
| 01:12:31 |
Science fiction books have people in them, |
| 01:12:34 |
Real people are complicated. |
| 01:12:35 |
Well, there's all kinds of science fiction. |
| 01:12:37 |
When you've read some, |
| 01:12:41 |
- Why are you getting off here? |
| 01:12:45 |
What are you, Mark Twain? |
| 01:12:47 |
Now we're gonna get stuck at every light. |
| 01:12:57 |
Look at the talent in this room. |
| 01:13:00 |
Half the Silicon Valley is here. |
| 01:13:05 |
To romance. |
| 01:13:06 |
- Hi. |
| 01:13:10 |
I'm planning on meeting a software baron |
| 01:13:12 |
Well, everyone knows a rich man |
| 01:13:18 |
- Hi. |
| 01:13:21 |
I'm Dean. |
| 01:13:22 |
Yeah, he's not doing book club with us. |
| 01:13:24 |
Uh, moral support. |
| 01:13:26 |
- Well, you're welcome to join in, Dean. |
| 01:13:30 |
I think I'll just head to the bar. |
| 01:13:34 |
There is no bar. It's a library. |
| 01:13:37 |
- Serving liquor. |
| 01:13:39 |
You guys need anything? |
| 01:13:43 |
We had this big fight on the way over here. |
| 01:13:46 |
- Have some champagne. |
| 01:13:51 |
I broke up with Corinne. |
| 01:13:54 |
Oh, my God. Honey. |
| 01:13:57 |
- Nice. |
| 01:14:20 |
Honey, whatever happened between |
| 01:14:23 |
- You don't even know what she did. |
| 01:14:28 |
Did she say cruel things? |
| 01:14:30 |
You are so quick to love. You're too quick. |
| 01:14:34 |
You jump in, you jump out. |
| 01:14:38 |
"It's not working? Well... |
| 01:14:42 |
We don't just dispose of people we love. |
| 01:14:47 |
Okay, you know what? |
| 01:14:50 |
This is Corinne. The difference being |
| 01:14:53 |
So you go repair. Power on. |
| 01:14:55 |
Maybe Daddy'll give up |
| 01:14:58 |
- Allegra. |
| 01:15:05 |
- We're gonna be so late. |
| 01:15:08 |
I will not let Sylvia be alone when Daniel |
| 01:15:12 |
You got your phone? |
| 01:15:18 |
I'll find a payphone. |
| 01:15:20 |
Are you attracted to Sylvia? |
| 01:15:23 |
Yeah, she's, um... She's nice. |
| 01:15:27 |
She's more than nice. |
| 01:15:30 |
- And she's in love with her husband. |
| 01:15:36 |
Why don't you stop interfering? |
| 01:15:39 |
It's interfering |
| 01:15:41 |
If that's interfering, I hope I never stop. |
| 01:15:44 |
What about me? Am I your friend? |
| 01:15:47 |
Or am I just some widget to help you |
| 01:15:52 |
Why did you invite me |
| 01:15:54 |
What went through your mind |
| 01:15:56 |
"There's a man who is dying to read |
| 01:16:00 |
- Is that what you thought? |
| 01:16:02 |
But I thought, "What a beautiful woman. |
| 01:16:06 |
I thought if I read your favorite books |
| 01:16:09 |
But, no, no, no. You just wanna be obeyed. |
| 01:16:14 |
That's why you have dogs. |
| 01:16:19 |
For such a famously romantic story, |
| 01:16:22 |
Pride and Prejudice is a parade |
| 01:16:26 |
I've had every marriage in this book. |
| 01:16:29 |
My first husband was a politician. |
| 01:16:32 |
He said I was rude and loud. |
| 01:16:35 |
"Stop pointing your breasts everywhere," |
| 01:16:40 |
I was 17. I was Charlotte Lucas. |
| 01:16:43 |
I married the first man who looked at me. |
| 01:16:45 |
Tout le monde est sage apres le coup. |
| 01:16:50 |
You don't see your own marriage |
| 01:16:54 |
So, um... I actually thought |
| 01:17:01 |
Really, I think that when she tells Lizzie |
| 01:17:05 |
I think that's what she means. |
| 01:17:07 |
Charlotte Lucas is not gay. She's not. |
| 01:17:11 |
Wait. Austen meant Charlotte to be gay |
| 01:17:13 |
or Charlotte is gay |
| 01:17:16 |
I just love the idea |
| 01:17:20 |
that the author doesn't even know about. |
| 01:17:22 |
You know, frankly, |
| 01:17:25 |
for looking at her situation |
| 01:17:27 |
I mean, yes, yes, she knows |
| 01:17:31 |
but that's okay. |
| 01:17:33 |
That is exactly the reason |
| 01:17:35 |
Jocelyn has contempt for anyone |
| 01:17:36 |
who settles for anything less |
| 01:17:38 |
You know, it's probably why Jocelyn |
| 01:17:42 |
My apologies, everybody. |
| 01:17:46 |
- Hello. |
| 01:17:50 |
We ran out of donut grease. |
| 01:17:55 |
- Grigg Harris. |
| 01:17:57 |
- Wait, Grigg... Grigg from the book club? |
| 01:18:01 |
No, it's just Prudie would say "Grigg," |
| 01:18:05 |
So you thought Grigg was a girl? |
| 01:18:09 |
Dean thinks "Austen" |
| 01:18:15 |
Wow. |
| 01:18:18 |
You'll notice that Jane, |
| 01:18:21 |
she never shows what happens |
| 01:18:25 |
Maybe Elizabeth and Darcy |
| 01:18:29 |
Maybe Lizzie went off to Pemberley, |
| 01:18:31 |
and she turned into this crazy person, |
| 01:18:34 |
because our mothers are like time bombs. |
| 01:18:37 |
They just... They tick away inside of us. |
| 01:18:40 |
Let's not give Mrs. Bennet |
| 01:18:46 |
- You know, I mean, what about the father? |
| 01:18:50 |
You know, my mom showed me |
| 01:18:55 |
Well, maybe she made him up. |
| 01:18:58 |
Or maybe she bought it at a garage sale. |
| 01:19:01 |
And I kept it in my room, this... |
| 01:19:08 |
I kept it in my room. |
| 01:19:12 |
Let's not do this now, okay? |
| 01:19:28 |
Dean, I got it. |
| 01:20:10 |
Bernadette. |
| 01:20:11 |
Daniel never came. |
| 01:20:15 |
Good. |
| 01:20:34 |
I'm in love with one of my students. |
| 01:20:41 |
But I mean, nothing's happened. Much. |
| 01:20:46 |
But it could. |
| 01:20:49 |
It could, if I let it. |
| 01:20:53 |
I fantasize about him constantly. |
| 01:20:57 |
Sweetie, your mother died. This is grief. |
| 01:21:01 |
He looks at me like he's the spoon, |
| 01:21:13 |
It's a good thing we're reading |
| 01:21:33 |
- I love you so. |
| 01:21:36 |
I do not know. 'Tis just when a lass falls in |
| 01:21:43 |
- You think you're in love with me? |
| 01:21:47 |
What good does thinking do |
| 01:22:21 |
- Hey, you got your cast off. |
| 01:22:22 |
- How does it feel? |
| 01:22:24 |
You can reach it. |
| 01:22:29 |
There you go. |
| 01:22:34 |
You can do it, there... Can you put your... |
| 01:22:36 |
Can you put your right foot |
| 01:22:39 |
It's gonna be fine. |
| 01:22:40 |
- Here, hang on. |
| 01:22:43 |
- Just reach up. |
| 01:22:45 |
It's okay. You're doing good. |
| 01:22:58 |
I'm totally okay. I'm not even hurt. |
| 01:23:02 |
I'm sorry, I have to stop you here. |
| 01:23:04 |
It's not likely to be anything |
| 01:23:07 |
I'd like to keep Allegra under observation |
| 01:23:10 |
And if you need to reach me, I'm Dr. Yep. |
| 01:23:17 |
How many times have we had to come here |
| 01:23:21 |
- It's always Allegra, never the boys. |
| 01:23:23 |
who goes mountain climbing |
| 01:23:27 |
It's a miracle she never tried parachuting. |
| 01:23:32 |
She's so extreme. |
| 01:23:36 |
One minute she's crazy in love |
| 01:23:39 |
the next minute she's never |
| 01:23:46 |
- She's gonna be okay, right? |
| 01:23:48 |
She just took a knock on the noodle. |
| 01:23:54 |
This is gonna sound, probably, horrible, |
| 01:23:57 |
she's got this lump on her head, but... |
| 01:24:02 |
It's great to have us all |
| 01:24:06 |
Just feels so normal. |
| 01:24:14 |
Normal, yeah. |
| 01:24:25 |
You know, I haven't been seeing Pam |
| 01:24:29 |
So, that must be a big change. |
| 01:24:34 |
You know, I was thinking just this morning |
| 01:24:36 |
about this book club that we're in, |
| 01:24:40 |
The first meeting was... |
| 01:24:43 |
Yeah, we had just been separated. |
| 01:24:48 |
And I was realizing how different I feel. |
| 01:24:55 |
I don't think I'm the same woman |
| 01:24:57 |
I can see that. I so see that. |
| 01:25:00 |
Well, it's probably the same for you. |
| 01:25:03 |
I guess that's what happens |
| 01:25:09 |
We did a good job taking things apart. |
| 01:25:15 |
I'm kind of proud of us. |
| 01:25:20 |
I'm warning you, if Grigg starts |
| 01:25:23 |
You two just keep it together |
| 01:25:26 |
I wish he'd just drop out of the group. |
| 01:25:31 |
Austen sets up this juicy triangle |
| 01:25:35 |
And then at the end, she practically |
| 01:25:39 |
to make Lucy Steele run off |
| 01:25:41 |
- Yeah, that requires some hand-waving. |
| 01:25:44 |
To me, the part that seems forced is |
| 01:25:49 |
- Anyone else feel that? |
| 01:25:52 |
He rides up on a big stallion, |
| 01:25:59 |
From the time Colonel Brandon |
| 01:26:01 |
he just lavishes all this attention on her. |
| 01:26:03 |
And meanwhile, |
| 01:26:05 |
Willoughby is a player. |
| 01:26:07 |
Women never go for the nice guy. |
| 01:26:08 |
Please. Men say that, but you get to know |
| 01:26:11 |
you find out they're not as nice |
| 01:26:15 |
Okay. You know what struck me? |
| 01:26:17 |
Is that Colonel Brandon is only |
| 01:26:21 |
Well, why does he take up with |
| 01:26:23 |
Yeah, why not Mrs. Dashwood? |
| 01:26:25 |
Maybe Mrs. Dashwood |
| 01:26:28 |
- The book is about the young people. |
| 01:26:31 |
that nothing interesting can happen |
| 01:26:34 |
When actually, a novel about a woman |
| 01:26:40 |
just yields so much more. |
| 01:26:43 |
Well, then maybe Mrs. Dashwood |
| 01:26:46 |
Why not? |
| 01:26:48 |
It's a long, hot summer. |
| 01:26:50 |
Maybe Mrs. Dashwood |
| 01:26:52 |
Okay, can I just point out, |
| 01:26:55 |
Sex is messy. |
| 01:26:57 |
Maybe Mrs. Dashwood |
| 01:27:00 |
Maybe that's why |
| 01:27:03 |
- I think if you read Austen's novels... |
| 01:27:06 |
You wanted me to, and I did. |
| 01:27:07 |
I think you'll see she always writes |
| 01:27:11 |
- Nothing unwise. |
| 01:27:14 |
Okay, so, this is... |
| 01:27:17 |
We could do worse. |
| 01:27:18 |
I think Jane Austen wrote about women |
| 01:27:21 |
Oh, you couldn't be more wrong. |
| 01:27:23 |
Austen lived a very full life. |
| 01:27:27 |
- She almost did. |
| 01:27:28 |
- But she decided not to. |
| 01:27:36 |
His name was Harris Bigg-Wither, |
| 01:27:40 |
"Oh, Harris Bigg-Wither!" |
| 01:27:45 |
I understand why Colonel Brandon |
| 01:27:48 |
And it's not 'cause she's young. |
| 01:27:50 |
It's because she's generous with herself. |
| 01:27:57 |
She's willing to risk her heart. |
| 01:28:03 |
- And Willoughby tramples her. |
| 01:28:08 |
No rules, no fear. |
| 01:28:12 |
I like that. |
| 01:28:43 |
- Hi. |
| 01:28:46 |
It's Bernadette's idea to do this beach day, |
| 01:28:50 |
'cause in the novel they all go to Lyme, |
| 01:28:53 |
which is, you know, |
| 01:28:57 |
This is your last one, right? |
| 01:28:59 |
I think we're gonna do some more books |
| 01:29:27 |
Prudie's gonna be hours late |
| 01:29:33 |
Thank God it's the last meeting. |
| 01:29:35 |
Yes, there's getting to be |
| 01:29:38 |
Not that I blame Grigg. |
| 01:29:39 |
Something about reading Austen |
| 01:29:44 |
Hi. |
| 01:29:47 |
Started reading it with Allegra |
| 01:29:51 |
Are you joining our discussion? |
| 01:29:54 |
- Am I? 'Cause I'd like to. |
| 01:29:57 |
- Daniel wants to join us. |
| 01:30:00 |
Oh, come on, this is my favorite Austen. |
| 01:30:05 |
It's all about mistakes and second chances. |
| 01:30:11 |
Yeah, you can stay. |
| 01:30:15 |
Glass of wine? |
| 01:31:28 |
I can't believe he brought a date |
| 01:31:33 |
- I kinda had him in mind for you, as a fling. |
| 01:31:39 |
Honey, I took your boyfriend away from you |
| 01:31:42 |
Look how that turned out. |
| 01:31:45 |
- Hi. |
| 01:31:47 |
- How ya doing? |
| 01:31:49 |
- Hello. |
| 01:31:52 |
Oh, God, that's wonderful. That's so... |
| 01:31:58 |
You're Grigg's sister. |
| 01:32:00 |
- How are you? |
| 01:32:01 |
- Good, thank you. |
| 01:32:05 |
- I don't believe it. |
| 01:32:08 |
- You look great. |
| 01:32:10 |
Thank you. |
| 01:32:12 |
- Wow, are you visiting from Idaho? |
| 01:32:15 |
We kept seeing these emails. |
| 01:32:19 |
"do these women have |
| 01:32:23 |
Just thought I'd check it out. |
| 01:32:28 |
Well, sure. |
| 01:32:32 |
Excuse me. |
| 01:32:40 |
Bernie! Mom! Hey. Hey! |
| 01:32:44 |
- Hi. |
| 01:32:47 |
Samantha. Thank you for inviting me. |
| 01:32:49 |
- I'm sorry we're late. |
| 01:32:54 |
Is that Dad? |
| 01:32:59 |
- Let's say hi. |
| 01:33:02 |
A doctor. |
| 01:33:06 |
Nothing in haste. |
| 01:33:08 |
- Dad! Hi! |
| 01:33:19 |
Would you do me a favor? |
| 01:33:22 |
Would you read this? |
| 01:33:25 |
Please. Right now. |
| 01:33:28 |
Isn't that what your |
| 01:33:34 |
I really want you to read it. |
| 01:33:38 |
Please, Dean. |
| 01:33:45 |
It doesn't... They don't... |
| 01:33:47 |
Prudie, I feel like you want me |
| 01:33:50 |
I just walk around being me. |
| 01:33:54 |
I'm the guy who thinks "Austen" |
| 01:33:56 |
I shouldn't have said that. That was mean. |
| 01:33:59 |
You just set me up for a test |
| 01:34:01 |
No, no. This is not a test. |
| 01:34:05 |
This is something to share. |
| 01:34:07 |
Why don't you just tell me what it's about? |
| 01:34:11 |
It's about these two people |
| 01:34:18 |
And they don't anymore. |
| 01:34:21 |
And it's how they persuade themselves |
| 01:34:26 |
Look, I can get you started off. Okay? |
| 01:34:30 |
- "Sir Walter Eliot... |
| 01:34:32 |
"...of Kellynch Hall in Somersetshire |
| 01:34:35 |
"for his own amusement, never took up |
| 01:34:37 |
Come on, you're really not gonna |
| 01:34:47 |
One page. |
| 01:34:50 |
"There he found occupation |
| 01:34:54 |
"and consolation in a distressed one." |
| 01:34:57 |
- Come on. |
| 01:34:58 |
that moment in Persuasion when |
| 01:35:02 |
just began to stop hating each other. |
| 01:35:06 |
Maybe it's when they went |
| 01:35:08 |
After Louisa Musgrove fell. |
| 01:35:10 |
After Wentworth used her |
| 01:35:13 |
You think he was using Louisa? |
| 01:35:14 |
Yeah. That's one interpretation. |
| 01:35:18 |
- I think the guy was just trying to feel... |
| 01:35:21 |
It was a bonehead move. |
| 01:35:23 |
I mean, he knows he's nothing |
| 01:35:25 |
He loved her then, he loves her now. |
| 01:35:28 |
I like how Austen always lets the men |
| 01:35:32 |
Darcy writes a letter to Elizabeth Bennet |
| 01:35:34 |
and Frank writes to Emma. |
| 01:35:36 |
Yeah, in Persuasion, everything hangs on |
| 01:35:40 |
- when everybody's talking all around them. |
| 01:35:45 |
No, smart guy. Perfect timing. |
| 01:35:48 |
Yeah. |
| 01:35:51 |
Let us never underestimate the power |
| 01:35:56 |
Grigg has always loved dogs. |
| 01:35:59 |
You know, we were never allowed |
| 01:36:01 |
Dogs and books. That's our Grigg. |
| 01:36:05 |
Okay, he'd kill me for saying this, |
| 01:36:09 |
I'm figuring he'll never tell you. |
| 01:36:13 |
My sisters and me, |
| 01:36:18 |
but he's just way too considerate |
| 01:36:23 |
- Hey. |
| 01:36:25 |
I was just wishing that Austen |
| 01:36:30 |
I'm gonna miss this. |
| 01:36:32 |
"All of the ladies were contented to pass |
| 01:36:35 |
"excepting Louisa. |
| 01:36:36 |
"She must be jumped down them |
| 01:36:39 |
"She was safely down and instantly, |
| 01:36:42 |
"ran up the steps to be jumped down again. |
| 01:36:44 |
"He advised her against it, but no..." |
| 01:38:19 |
Shoot. |
| 01:39:18 |
I'm so sorry. I should've called first. |
| 01:39:22 |
I love them. |
| 01:39:24 |
I couldn't stop reading. |
| 01:39:25 |
I went to the all-night newsstand on |
| 01:39:29 |
- but they didn't have it, and... |
| 01:39:32 |
I mean, I have... You know, there... |
| 01:39:36 |
There are other writers that you might like. |
| 01:40:11 |
Hey. |
| 01:40:14 |
Hi, honey. |
| 01:40:16 |
I didn't expect you back so soon. |
| 01:40:32 |
Wait, wait, wait. |
| 01:41:10 |
Hey, has anyone read those |
| 01:41:13 |
- British Navy. |
| 01:41:16 |
Yeah. But aren't there, like, 20 of them? |
| 01:41:18 |
- There's more of us now. |
| 01:41:23 |
- Oh, my God, is that Bernadette? |
| 01:41:27 |
Buenas noches, everyone. |
| 01:41:32 |
- Hola. |
| 01:41:33 |
- Hello. |
| 01:41:37 |
- I'm working on my Spanish. |
| 01:41:41 |
And so far I have te amo. |
| 01:41:45 |
And mi esposo. |
| 01:41:46 |
- Oh, my God! |
| 01:41:48 |
- That's incredible! |
| 01:41:52 |
- Oh, it's gorgeous. |
| 01:41:54 |
- I'm so happy for you. |
| 01:41:55 |
- Dad, check it out. |
| 01:42:04 |
- Don't be gone too long. |
| 01:42:06 |
- What? |
| 01:42:11 |
Hey, guys. Guys. |
| 01:42:13 |
He hasn't read a word of Austen. |
| 01:42:18 |
Oh, poor man. |
| 01:42:20 |
Ah, yeah. We'll fix that. |
| 01:42:26 |
- Cheers! |
