It's your meeting.
(Chuckles)
Eight years ago, I was, um, pregnant for the first time.
And Randall was vying for partner at his firm.
We'd just bought this house on faith,
even though it needed a lot of work,
even though we couldn't afford it whatsoever.
Then Randall made partner.
He did all the work on the house himself,
so we didn't have to spend a penny.
And he made sure i didn't lift a finger
during my pregnancy.
He's a good man.
No, he's not good.
He's perfect.
Problem is, he stopped sleeping.
And then one morning, i was in the bathroom,
and he called out to me.
And he was confused, you know?
He was confused because he...
Couldn't see anything.
My husband-- my Mountain of a man--
could literally no longer see things through his eyes.
It was as if 28 years of being that perfect
had all caught up to him that morning.
And he, um...
He pulled himself out of it.
He self-corrected,
'cause that's what my man does.
Randall is not free of vice, William.
His vice is his goodness.
It's his compulsive drive
to be perfect.
It's why I love him...
But it's also why I have to protect him sometimes, you know?
So now, I'm gonna have to ask you a couple questions,
questions he would probably be too polite to ask himself.
Ask away.
(Inhales sharply) The money you borrow.
You use it for the bus?
Yes.
Where do you go?
You're gone all day, every day.
My place in Philadelphia, it's a long ride.
Why?
Are you using drugs?
Are you getting drugs? Mm-mm. No.
Are you really sick?
Yes, I am.
Beth, I said it before, and I really meant it:
If I'm overstaying my welcome,
I wish you would just say it.
William, you are overstaying...
Randall: Beth.
What are you doing?
Somebody has to ask the questions here, baby...
It's a cat.
I have a cat.
It's all I really have.
His name's Clooney.
One of those ironic names, 'cause he's a pretty ugly cat.
I go back and forth to feed him.
Three hours on the bus each day.
Why wouldn't you just tell us you had a cat?
Nah.
The little one has asthma
and I knew if i brought up the cat,
you'd tell me to bring it,
that would cause problems.
And I don't want to cause any problems,
'cause if I cause problems, I'd have to leave.
And...
And I don't want to leave.
Six months ago, some doctor told me I had three to live.
But for some reason, i don't feel so bad lately.
Maybe to do with this house.
I don't know.
Truth is, I'd never thought
I'd have anything to care about again
besides an ugly cat, so...
Well, now I feel like a bitch.
(Randall laughs)
(William chuckles)
It's not funny.
It's not.
(Chuckling) It's not funny.
(Laughing continues)
I'm about two hours away from throwing up violently.
Mm.
Are you gonna hold my hair for me, Toby?
No. I-I'm still gonna be at this party,
trying to bang a gilmore girl.
(Laughs)
Well, go for both.
Gil-more the gil-merrier.
It's always gonna be about the weight for me, Toby.
(Sniffs)
It's been my story ever since i was a little girl.
And every moment that I'm not thinking about it,
I'm thinking about it.
Like...
Will this chair hold me?
Will this dress fit me?
And if I ever get pregnant, would...
Will anyone ever notice?
It's just at the core of who I am, it's just deep inside,
and eight Tequila shots can only mask that for a couple hours.
So... I know.
And it was ten Tequila shots,
but I... I get it. I know.
And just for the record,
um, this dress is fitting you in all the right places.
(Purring)
This old thing? Uh-huh.
I mean, i-i just threw it on.
Oh, you just threw it on? Mm-hmm.
I didn't even think about it.
(Chuckles)
(Sighs)
There he is.
I told 'em to go screw themselves.
And what'd they say?
A lot of mean, scary things.
I'm gonna do theater.
You know?
I'm moving to New York.
(Whispering): Show business.
(Sighs) What are you doing out here?
I don't like sleeping far away from you.
No more drinking.
You can't just stop...
I can.
For you, I can.
I will.
(Sighs)
You know, when I was a little boy,
I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up.
(Inhales, exhales deeply)
Adults always ask little kids that.
You know?
I never had a good answer.
Not until... not until I was 28.
Till the day that I met you.
That's when I knew exactly what i wanted to be when I grew up:
I wanted to be the man that made you happy.
(Sighs)
You make me happy.
Not always.
(Scoffs) Not lately.
From here on out, I'm gonna be an 11 for you, baby.
No...
Screw that.
I'm gonna be a 12 for you, from here out.
I'll be an 11 for the kids,
but you get a 12.
Do you forgive me?
You slept outside our bedroom door like a labrador.
Of course I forgive you.
Can I still give you my gift?
If you insist.
