Bridge? Grandma and Gramps are here.
Is Dad with them?
No.
Well, then I really don't give a damn.
S2Goodbye (1)
NNick
(to Cate) You know I have four daughters, I couldn't in a million years work at home. Paul said he never knew how he did it, he just knew why, he loved his family.
S2Goodbye (2)
The last words I said to Dad were, "I hate you."
Oh...
(guilt-ridden) He wouldn't let me borrow his stupid car, and I said "I hate you." I had my dad, and the last thing I ever said to him was "I hate you."
Aw, honey. I think those were the first words you said to him, also.
My last words were an insult, too. He was wearing his Michigan sweatshirt with chinos, and I told him there weren't enough Queer Eyes in all of San Francisco to help him.
(Cate chuckles)
Well, I sent him to the store for milk, so the last thing he heard out of me was, "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah." You know what his last words to me were? "Hasta la vista, baby."
S2What Dad Would Want
Cate (to Rory): You know a lot of times people take orange balls similar to this one outside and throw them at basketball hoops.
Okay, but bring it back.
Jim (to Cate): They mean well, honey.
Yeah, I know they mean well, but I'm starting to feel like I'm in some kind of circus where the price of admission is a casserole. Step right up and see the grieving widow.
S2The First Thanksgiving
Cate (to Rory): What is going on with you and your sisters?
I'm trying to protect them.
Aww, that's sweet.
I'm afraid that they are going to turn into big fat whores!
OK. Not so sweet.
Cate (to Rory): Honey, your job is to be a 14-year-old boy and a pain in the butt.
I can do that!
Kerry (to Bridget): So, that's all you can think of to be thankful for? That you got the good hair?
No, I said it's what I'm most thankful for.
And, what about you, Cate? What are you thankful for?
Well, I'm thankful for my wonderful children, and for my great dad and my mom even though she couldn't be here.
That's what I'm thankful for.
S2The Story of Anne Frank and Skeevy
(Bridget has scored the lead role of Anne Frank, and Kerry isn't happy)
(to Kerry) Now look, we should all be supportive. We should be celebrating. Your sister got the lead in... (in disbelief) Anne Frank?
Jim (to Rory): Aren't you a little old to be playing with a dummy?
SSkeevy
Aren't you a little old?
(Cate finds a sullen Bridget in the attic)
Hey, Bridg. I thought I heard something up here. What are you doing?
Reading The Diary of Anne Frank. Mom, I don't think I can do this.
Well, honey, when you get to a word you don't know, just sound it out.
I mean, how could I have taken on the role of Anne Frank? She's just so incredibly wise and brave. I mean, I came up here to see what it was like to be her. I just can't do her justice. I can't.
Of course you can.
I know you never see this side of me, but it's true. Sometimes I can be a little bit superficial. I'm just not Anne material. Think I should quit? Because it's not like I'd be letting anybody down. There are tons of girls that could do a way better job than I can. I should quit, right?
Well...do you want to quit?
No. I don't wanna quit. But I don't wanna embarrass myself. I don't wanna embarrass you either.
Oh, that's just crazy, honey. But do you want to quit?
I don't know what else to do. I'm out of my depth.
Wow, you really did read the book. Well...I don't think you should quit. I think you can do it. I know you can do it.
It just doesn't seem right that I play Anne. We're nothing alike. I mean, we have a nice attic, and a nice house...I can go to sleep at night when it's dark, in a warm bed...I can leave whenever I want...I don't know, my life is easy. I just have not experienced that kind of hardship.
Well, I can't imagine anyone playing the part has that kind of experience, but an actor finds things to draw on. You know, you have had your share of sadness. Start there.
S2YMCA
Dad, don't go looking for trouble!
I don't. Trouble finds me.
Rory (to Jim): I've got this friend who keeps showing up when he's not wanted.
Ask him to leave.
I can't. He doesn't have any ears. I mean he shows up all the time. He's there in the morning. He's there in the shower. I understand why he's there when Missy Kleinfeld walks by. But Hunter and I were haveing cheeseburgers and he was there too.
Oh, yeah, yeah. You know when I was your age, my friend kept showing up too. We were like Hope and Crosby.
Who? You do realize I'm talking about my—
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're talking about the same thing, son. What you're going through is perfectly normal.
How can this be normal? I can barely walk.
Calm down. See this is what happens with a boy your age. Well, in time it will pass. It's a phase. Usually when you get married it will go away completely.
So it's normal. Good thanks. So what am I supposed to do in the meantime?
Well try to avoid any situations where your friend, you know, tada. You know I'm always telling you to stand up straight, don't hunch over and get your hands out of your pockets.
Yeah.
Well hunch over and put them back in.
Bridget, you're not going back to that job.
You're not my parent. You're my grandparent. You're supposed to give me money and presents and be cute.
S2Get Real
(to Grandpa Jim) Oh my. Is that my Gampy? Is that my Gampa? Gaga, it's me! (Jim stares at him) Please, don't get up.
