Man: PREVIOUSLY ON FELICITY...
TURNS OUT MAGGIE...
MAGGIE'S MARRIED, WHICH IS CRAZY.
I MEAN, WHAT AM I GONNA DO, BREAK UP A MARRIAGE?
I JUST WANT TO CUT TO THE CHASE, IF POSSIBLE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I WANT TO HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH YOU.
David: BEFORE I MET YOU, I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO
GET INVOLVED WITH ANYONE,
AND NOW I'M SPENDING TIME WITH SOMEONE I REALLY CARE ABOUT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS IS GONNA GO BETWEEN US,
BUT RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE A VERY GOOD THING,
AND I DON'T WANT TO SCREW THAT UP.
NEITHER DO I.
[KNOCKS]
HEY!
I THOUGHT YOU WERE AT WORK.
I BLEW IT OFF.
HI. IT'S ME.
I'M JUST LEAVING A MESSAGE FOR MY PARENTS. COME IN.
UM, YEAH, I WAS JUST CHECKING ON YOU.
UH, CALL ME BACK.
I LOVE YOU.
BYE.
I THINK THEY'RE MAD AT ME.
WHY? WHAT'D YOU DO?
UM, OH, I JUST, UH...
I TOLD THEM I WASN'T COMING HOME FOR THANKSGIVING,
THAT I HAD TOO MUCH CLASSWORK,
BUT I THINK THAT THEY THINK I DON'T REALLY HAVE THAT MUCH CLASSWORK.
DO YOU?
NOT REALLY.
SO DO YOU HAVE PLANS?
MY ONLY PLAN IS TO NOT GO HOME.
'CAUSE IF YOU WANT, WE COULD HANG OUT AT MY PLACE,
GET SOME FROZEN TURKEY DINNERS
AND HAVE A NON-CRAZY, PRESSURE-FREE THANKSGIVING.
WAIT A SECOND.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
NOTHING.
THANKSGIVING TOGETHER IS A GREAT IDEA.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOOR OPENS]
OH, WAIT. OH, MY GOD. MEGHAN!
OH, YEAH. SO LISTEN.
WE HAD A DEAL. THE POST-IT ON THE DOOR MEANS DO NOT COME IN.
YEAH, BUT, LISTEN, I HAVE TO...
MY GOD. FOR ONCE, YOU COULD RESPECT MY PRIVACY.
GOD. YOU FINALLY GET A LITTLE,
AND NOW YOU'RE LIKE SOME FREAKY SEXAHOLIC.
Y-YOU'RE CALLING ME A FREAK?
OK. NO NEED TO GET INTO...
FOR YOUR INFORMATION, NYMPHO,
I BARGED IN HERE AS A FAVOR.
A FAVOR?
I WAS GOING TO LET YOU KNOW
WHAT I JUST SAW DOWN IN THE LOBBY,
BUT SINCE YOU'RE BEING SUCH A BITCH,
I'LL LET YOU FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
COME IN!
MOM! DAD!
DEAR SALLY,
OK, SO THIS IS GOING TO SOUND TERRIBLE,
BUT MY PARENTS CAME TO VISIT,
AND I WANT THEM TO GO HOME.
I MEAN, OF COURSE I LOVE THEM.
YOU KNOW THAT, BUT I CUT MY HAIR, AND I DROPPED PREMED,
AND I'M SLEEPING WITH A PHOTOGRAPHER.
I MEAN, THERE ARE THESE THINGS ABOUT MY LIFE
THAT THEY JUST KNOW NOTHING ABOUT,
AND I'M NOT REALLY IN THE MOOD TO SHARE IT WITH THEM.
Dad: SO WE WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU
WELL, HEY, IT WORKED.
Mom: YOUR DAD AND I THOUGHT THAT IF YOU WEREN'T
GOING TO COME HOME FOR THANKSGIVING,
WE'D COME HERE AND HAVE IT WITH YOU.
SO WE GOT IN LATE LAST NIGHT.
WE GOT A SUITE AT THE REGENCY,
AND WE THOUGHT WHILE YOU WERE STUDYING,
WE COULD SHOP, SEE SOME SHOWS, AND...
HI.
I'M SORRY. MOM, DAD, THIS IS DAVID.
NICE MEETING YOU.
GOOD TO MEET YOU.
I'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT YOU.
YOU'RE A STUDENT HERE?
Felicity: A GRAD STUDENT, PHOTOGRAPHY.
I'M SORRY. YOU CAN TALK.
GRAD STUDENT, PHOTOGRAPHY.
Both: HA HA.
AND YOU KNOW MEGHAN, RIGHT?
OH, YEAH. HI.
HI.
Mom: GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MEGHAN.
HOW ARE YOU HOLDING UP AS AN R.A.?
THE HARDEST PART IS MAKING SURE
YOU'RE REALLY HELPING THE KIDS.
OH, SPEAKING OF WHICH, I GOT TO GO.
I'M STARTING A RECYCLING CAMPAIGN.
SO, HONEY, YOU PICK THE RESTAURANT FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER,
AND, IN THE MEANTIME, YOUR MOTHER AND I WILL GET LOST
SO THAT YOU CAN DO ALL THAT STUDYING
THAT YOU SAID YOU HAD TO DO.
ACTUALLY, DAVID AND I WERE GOING TO... WE SORT OF...
HAD PLANS.
UM, YEAH. ONLY SORT OF, BUT, UM...
Mom: WELL, WHY DON'T YOU COME ALONG?
NO! I MEAN, NO, RIGHT? YOU DON'T WANT TO...
IF I'M NOT INTRUDING.
OF COURSE NOT. WE ARE THE ONES WHO BARGED IN HERE.
SO, IT'S A PLAN.
Javier: OK, UH, BENJAMIN,
UM, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A LOT... A LOT OF MONEY?
WELL, RELATIVELY SPEAKING FOR YOU, OF COURSE.
WHAT, YOU WANT TO GIVE ME A RAISE?
NO, I'M NOT STUPID. THIS IS FOR THANKSGIVING.
YOU'RE NOT GOING AWAY FOR THE HOLIDAY?
PLEASE SAY NO. I NEED TO HEAR NO FROM YOU NOW.
NO. NO, I'M NOT.
[SIGH] OK, GOOD.
SO I WILL BE THANKING YOU
FOR GIVING ME THANKSGIVING A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR TIME
FOR THIS CHARITY EVENT HERE TOMORROW.
JAVIER, I DON'T KNOW.
I WAS JUST KIND OF HOPING TO KICK BACK.
KICK BACK?
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE LITTLE THING CALLED WORK ETHIC?
JAVIER, IT'S THANKSGIVING.
IT'S A NATIONAL HOLIDAY IN THIS COUNTRY.
OH, REALLY? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I'LL MARK THAT IN MY CALENDAR.
I'M DESPERATE. I CAN'T FIND NOBODY TO WORK.
OK. I'LL GIVE YOU AND ANY FRIEND YOU CAN FIND TO HELP
DOUBLE WHAT YOU GET NOW.
YOU'RE GOING TO PAY ME DOUBLE?
IN CASH, OVER THE TABLE.
IT'S UNDER THE TABLE.
OK, THAT, TOO.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL DO IT, AND I'LL ASK MY ROOMMATES
BECAUSE THEY'RE STAYING IN TOWN, TOO.
[SIGH]
DO YOU KNOW WHY I LIKE YOU?
NO, WHY?
NO, I'M ASKING.
HI. HOW YOU DOING?
Elena: YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD THEM YET?
THE PREMED THING IS NOT AN EASY SUBJECT WITH MY DAD.
HE'LL FREAK, WON'T HE?
YEAH. I'M THINKING MAYBE I SHOULDN'T EVEN TELL THEM AT ALL.
Noel: OK. NO, NO. I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER.
[HANGS UP TELEPHONE]
SO RUBY CAN'T MAKE IT BACK FOR THANKSGIVING.
THEY EXTENDED HER SCHEDULE IN THE MOVIE.
APPARENTLY THE LEAD ACTRESS FELL OFF A HORSE
AND PULLED HER PATELLA.
HER PATELLA?
YOU CAN'T PULL A PATELLA.
A PATELLA'S A BONE.
WHAT?
Elena: GREAT.
SO IT'S JUST THE TWO OF US FOR THANKSGIVING,
UNLESS...
WHY DON'T YOU AND YOUR PARENTS COME OVER HERE?
I'M MAKING TONS OF FOOD. IT'LL BE FUN.
REALLY?
YEAH, YEAH. BRING THEM OVER.
UM, DAVID WAS GOING TO COME WITH US, SO...
YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HAVE YOUR DINNER WITH THE PARENTS.
THAT'S... YOU GUYS ARE GETTING PRETTY SERIOUS.
NO. I MEAN, NOT SERIOUS SERIOUS.
Elena: WELL, IF THEY ALL COME OVER HERE,
IT'LL BE LIKE A PARTY AND LESS HOLIDAY PRESSURE.
THEN I WON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH JUST NOEL.
THANKS.
ALL RIGHT. WE'LL ASK THEM.
I GOT TO GO MEET THEM FOR LUNCH NOW, ANYWAY.
IT'LL BE FUN.
YEAH. THANKS A LOT, YOU GUYS.
BYE.
Noel: SEE YA.
PATELLA'S A BONE?
YEAH, IT'S YOUR KNEECAP.
BECAUSE I'M GOING TO CALL HER.
CALL HER.
ALL RIGHT.
I THINK.
HEY.
HEY, MAYBE AFTER THIS THING TOMORROW,
WE CAN DO OUR OWN DINNER AT THE LOFT.
OH, YEAH, LIKE A REAL THANKSGIVING?
YEAH, AS LONG AS I DON'T HAVE TO COOK.
NO, NO, I'LL COOK.
DID YOU GUYS KNOW YOU COULD DEEP-FRY A TURKEY?
WHAT?
YEAH, IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS.
OH, THANKS GOD YOU ARE HERE.
OK. I JUST HAD TWO SERVERS BACK DOWN ON ME,
SO THANK YOU.
USUALLY WHEN I SEAL UP A DEAL,
I DO IT ON A HANDSHAKE, YOU KNOW,
BUT THE LAST TIME I DID THAT,
ALL THE WAITERS WENT HOME WITH THE SILVERWARE,
A LITTLE GIFT WITH PURCHASE,
SO PLEASE, SIGN THE BOTTOM, PLEASE.
OK, I'M GOING TO NEED AN EXCLUSIVITY CLAUSE, THOUGH,
STATING THAT YOU AGREE TO PUT SMOOTHAISE ON EVERY SERVING PLATTER,
AND THEN WE'RE ALL SET.
SMOOTH WHO?
SMOOTHAISE. IT'S A NEW CONDIMENT SEAN MADE UP.
IT'S NOT SO BAD.
NOT SO BAD?
HELLO.
HEY.
JAVIER, I'D LIKE TO GO OVER THE FINAL PLANS FOR TOMORROW.
ABSOLUTELY, I WAS JUST GETTING THE WAITERS TOGETHER.
THESE ARE THEM.
HEH. OK. COME WITH ME.
GREAT.
OH, THIS IS HER PARTY?
I HAD NO IDEA, BELIEVE ME.
WHY? WHO'S THAT?
HER.
OH, THAT'S HER.
YES, SHH.
Dad: SO THIS IS YOUR COLLEGE HANG-OUT, HUH?
IT'S SORT OF A BAR.
IT'S... IT'S MORE LIKE A CAFE.
I MEAN, THEY HAVE FOOD HERE, SO...
IS YOUR SANDWICH OK?
IT'S OK.
I'D CALL IT SORT OF A PUB.
SO YOUR HAIR IS REALLY... IT'S A DIFFERENT LOOK FOR YOU.
I MEAN, I LIKE IT.
I LIKE IT, TOO. THANKS.
HEY, SO DAVID SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY NICE GUY.
HOW OLD IS HE?
25.
25 YEARS OLD. WOW.
THAT'S QUITE A BIT OLDER THAN YOU.
Mom: SO HOW LONG HAVE YOU TWO BEEN SEEING EACH OTHER?
UM, ABOUT A MONTH NOW.
OH. WHAT?
OH, NOTHING. IT'S JUST...
YOU HADN'T MENTIONED HIM,
AND THEN YOU SAID THE TWO OF YOU HAD MADE THANKSGIVING PLANS,
SO IT SEEMS YOU'RE MOVING PRETTY FAST.
ARE YOU KEEPING UP WITH YOUR STUDIES?
MM-HMM.
HOW'S BIOCHEM?
NOW, THAT'S A HARD COURSE, RIGHT?
IS IT GOING OK?
I DROPPED PREMED.
WHAT?
WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?
MY SCHEDULE WAS SO FULL
THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO TAKE ANYTHING ELSE,
AND I REALLY WANTED TO TAKE ART COURSES,
WHICH I'M LOVING RIGHT NOW,
AND THE TRUTH IS, I JUST... I WASN'T WILLING
TO GIVE EVERYTHING ELSE UP
IN ORDER TO PURSUE SOMETHING I WASN'T EVEN SURE ABOUT.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?
YOU'VE GIVEN UP MEDICINE,
YOU'RE DATING AN OLDER MAN...
DAD, HE'S NOT THAT MUCH OLDER.
YOU CUT YOUR HAIR,
AND YOU DON'T EVEN TELL US ABOUT IT?
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT ME
YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW.
LIKE WHAT, SWEETIE?
NOTHING.
LIKE NOTHING.
JUST FORGET IT.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
IT'S JUST A LITTLE OVERWHELMING
SITTING HERE AND BEING JUDGED ABOUT MY LIFE.
I MEAN, THIS PUB AND MY MAJOR AND MY HAIR AND MY RELATIONSHIP WITH DAVID
AND... I HAVE TO GO TO WORK ANYWAY, SO I'LL JUST...
I'LL GIVE YOU GUYS A CALL AT THE HOTEL LATER.
SO JUST WRITE DOWN THE STUFF YOU WANT, AND I'LL ORDER IT.
AND GET THE STUFFING WITHOUT RAISINS. I HATE RAISINS.
I CARE.
HEY, FELICITY.
YOU'RE ACTUALLY MAKING DINNER AT THE DORM?
NO. I TOLD SOME OF THESE LOSERS
THAT WERE STUCK HERE OVER THE BREAK
THAT I WOULD ORDER SOMETHING.
THEY SAID IT COUNTS
TOWARDS MY COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS.
I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
ANYWAY, YOUR BOYFRIEND IS IN THERE AGAIN,
WHICH IS ANNOYING.
HEY. I WAS JUST LEAVING YOU A NOTE.
OH.
WHAT'S WRONG?
I JUST EXPERIENCED A TIME WARP
RIGHT BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL.
AH, LUNCH WITH YOUR PARENTS?
YEAH.
I THOUGHT YOU HAD PRINTS TO MAKE.
I DID... I DO, BUT I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU.
I WANTED TO STOP BY, SO I DID.
HMM. THAT'S SWEET OF YOU.
UM, I ACTUALLY HAVE TO GET TO WORK, THOUGH.
OK.
OH, AND, HEY, IF IT'S ALL RIGHT,
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THANKSGIVING AT NOEL AND ELENA'S,
JUST TO MAKE THINGS MORE CONFUSING.
AH. WELL, SPEAKING OF MAKING THINGS MORE CONFUSING,
MY MOTHER, WHO USUALLY TRAVELS OVER THANKSGIVING,
HAS DECIDED NOT TO THIS YEAR.
SHE'D LOVE TO MEET YOUR PARENTS.
WHAT?
YOU'RE RIGHT. I'M TELLING HER NO.
UM, BUT, I MEAN, NO. SHE CAN'T SPEND THANKSGIVING ALONE.
HAVE HER COME.
YEAH?
YEAH, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
WHY ARE YOU THROWING A PARTY WHERE I WORK?
AND HELLO TO YOU, TOO.
YOU HAVE TO MOVE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. YOU HAVE TO.
BEN, I CAN'T. ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE,
AND IT WAS MY HUSBAND'S IDEA
TO HAVE IT AT DEAN & DELUCA.
HE HAD IT THERE LAST YEAR.
IT JUST DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU THEN.
YOU KNOW, I MET HIM.
YEAH, I MET YOUR HUSBAND.
HE ORDERED A CAKE FOR YOUR ANNIVERSARY,
AND HE TOLD ME HOW MUCH YOU LOVE BUTTERFLIES
AND HOW YOU'VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 3 YEARS.
MAGGIE, HE SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY NICE GUY.
IS THAT WHY YOU HAVEN'T CALLED?
I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE.
BEN, I AM SO SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.
I NEVER MEANT TO LIE TO YOU.
IT'S JUST... MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY HUSBAND
IS COMPLICATED.
MAGGIE, THIS PARTY, IT'S GOING TO BE...
I KNOW. IT'S GOING TO BE WEIRD,
BUT IT WOULD MEAN A LOT TO ME JUST...
JUST FOR YOU TO BE THERE.
I MEAN, I MISS YOU.
[WHISPERING] I do.
MOM!
NO! YOU'RE FELICITY'S MOTHER?
YES.
OHH!
OHH! OH, MY GOD, AT LAST WE MEET!
OHH!
YOUR DAUGHTER'S AN ANGEL.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE HER.
OHH!
I'M JAVIER, THE MANAGER.
I FIGURED.
OK. THIS IS SO EMOTIONAL...
FOR ME.
OK. IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, ANYTHING,
LET ME KNOW. OK? IT'S ON THE HOUSE.
THANKS, I WILL. OK.
SORRY ABOUT THAT.
DO YOU HAVE A SECOND?
YEAH. OF COURSE.
JUST, UM... SIT DOWN.
LET ME CLEAN THIS UP.
DAVID SEEMS LIKE A SWEET GUY.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE IMPLIED THAT YOU TWO WERE MOVING TOO FAST.
I JUST...
YOU WERE RIGHT. IT'S NOT MY PLACE TO SAY.
THANK YOU.
I DO WANT TO GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER.
I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SPENDING THANKSGIVING WITH HIM.
I GOT SOMETHING FOR HIM.
I SAW THIS AT THE GIFT SHOP AT THE MET.
YOU SAID HE STUDIES PHOTOGRAPHY.
IT'S A COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE 1940s.
MOM, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT.
I KNOW.
BUT I'M... I'M SURE HE'LL LOVE IT.
SO IS DAD FURIOUS ABOUT THE PREMED THING?
YOU SHOULD TALK TO HIM.
PROFESSOR SHERMAN COMING HERE?
Felicity: YEAH. I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MENTION IT EARLIER.
I'VE JUST BEEN A LITTLE DISTRACTED.
Elena: DID YOU WRITE DOWN CRANBERRY SAUCE?
YEAH, IT'S THERE.
NO, PROFESSOR SHERMAN CANNOT COME HERE.
WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?
TEACHERS SHOULD STAY IN SCHOOL.
THEY SHOULD NOT COME TO MY HOUSE.
BESIDES, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HER.
SHE IS THIS INCREDIBLY INTIMIDATING... JUST FORCE OF NATURE!
AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GIVE HER A CALL
AND LET HER KNOW WHAT SHE CAN BRING.
WHAT?
NO, I'M NOT... I'M NOT CALLING HER.
I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN MY MIDTERM PROJECT BACK YET.
I COULD'VE FAILED.
YOU'RE NOT BAILING OUT ON ME.
YOU'RE THE COHOST.
NOW, WILL YOU JUST GO PICK THE STUFF UP?
OF COURSE I'LL GO PICK IT UP. I'M THE COHOST.
SO HOW'S DAVID?
HE'S GOOD.
GOOD.
HE DID THIS REALLY SWEET THING TODAY.
HE STOPPED BY TWICE OUT OF THE BLUE,
ONCE IN THE MORNING AND ONCE IN THE AFTERNOON,
AND THEN HE WALKED ME TO WORK.
SO, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
DO YOU THINK HE'S GETTING MORE SERIOUS THAN YOU ARE?
NO. UM...
I DON'T KNOW.
JUST TODAY, IT FELT LIKE...
I KNOW THAT'S REALLY PRESUMPTUOUS OF ME.
I'M... I'M SURE I'M OVERREACTING.
SO HOW'S HE TAKING THIS WHOLE PARENT THANKSGIVING THING?
HE SEEMS OK WITH IT.
WELL, JUST SO YOU KNOW,
THE NORMAL REACTION WOULD BE FOR HIM TO BE FREAKED OUT,
LIKE YOU ARE.
MY MOM ACTUALLY BOUGHT HIM A GIFT TODAY.
OH, WELL, IF THAT DOESN'T FREAK HIM OUT, YOU'RE IN REAL TROUBLE.
YOU THINK? OH, YEAH.
A GIFT FROM YOUR PARENTS?
THAT'S LIKE SAYING WELCOME TO THE FAMILY.
SEE HOW HE TAKES THE GIFT.
IT'S A GOOD WAY TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON THE SAME PAGE.
YEAH. I HOPE WE ARE.
I MEAN, I REALLY LIKE HIM, BUT WE'RE JUST STARTING OUT.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS.
Javier: AND THIS IS WHERE WE SET UP THE BAR
AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT, TEQUILA, CHAMPAGNE,
AND THIS IS THE BLUE WATER.
IT'S NOT REALLY BLUE. IT'S JUST THE BOTTLE.
OK. LET ME SHOW YOU THE DESSERTS.
THIS IS CRAZY.
HOW MUCH FOOD'S GONNA BE LEFT OVER BY THE TIME THIS GUY...
Julie: OH, I KNOW. WELL, WHY DON'T WE SNEAK...
GUYS, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE FINE,
ALL RIGHT?
ACTUALLY, WE WERE JUST WONDERING
IF WE COULD TAKE HOME ANY LEFTOVER FOOD.
Julie: BUT WE'RE GLAD EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE FINE.
YEAH.
OH.
THAT... THAT'S HER HUSBAND.
HER HUSBAND? SHE'S MARRIED? REALLY?
COULD YOU GUYS... PLEASE, COULD YOU KEEP IT DOWN?
PLEASE?
WOW. I DIDN'T KNOW.
YEAH, I KNOW. I WASN'T EXACTLY ADVERTISING IT.
HA.
Man: HI. I'M CHARLIE SHERWOOD.
YOU GUYS ARE THE WAIT STAFF FOR TOMORROW EVENING, RIGHT?
YEAH. HI.
THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF STUFFY RICH PEOPLE
HERE TOMORROW EVENING,
SO I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR THEIR BEHAVIOR.
MY WIFE'S A CATERER.
I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DEALS WITH THESE PEOPLE.
GREAT.
I'M SURE YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
HEY, UM, YOU'RE THE KID WHO SOLD ME THE CAKE LAST WEEK, RIGHT?
YEAH.
YEAH. THANKS AGAIN.
MY WIFE LOVED IT. IT WAS FANTASTIC. THANKS.
GOOD. GOOD. YEAH.
ALL RIGHT. I'M READY FOR THE PUMPKIN.
OK.
THANKS.
YOU KNOW, I SHOULD WARN YOU,
MY PARENTS ARE A LITTLE TOO EXCITED ABOUT GETTING TO KNOW YOU.
I DON'T MIND. I REALLY LIKE THEM.
REALLY?
HMM.
PROOF. THIS IS FROM MY MOM TO YOU.
A GIFT?
I KNOW. IT'S SO CRAZY, BUT...
I GOT THEM SOMETHING, TOO.
IT'S THIS BOOK ON NEW YORK...
PLACES TO SEE, THINGS TO DO... FOR WHENEVER THEY'RE VISITING.
WOW.
THAT'S SO SWEET OF YOU.
UM...
DAVID, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS,
I MEAN, BE SO NICE ABOUT MY PARENTS.
I WON'T BE UPSET, LIKE, AT ALL IF THEY DRIVE YOU CRAZY
AND YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO ADMIT IT.
HA HA HA.
YOU CAN TELL ME.
HOW COULD I NOT LIKE YOUR PARENTS?
THEY'RE PART OF YOU,
THE PERSON I'M FALLING IN LOVE WITH.
LOVE? I MEAN, HE SAID THE WORD LOVE?
WOW! WHAT'D YOU SAY?
NOTHING. I MEAN, I... I WAS JUST IN SHOCK.
LOVE.
I MEAN, I THOUGHT THINGS WERE GOING SO WELL.
WE HAVE A GREAT TIME JUST HANGING OUT.
I REALLY LIKE HIM, AND... I REALLY LIKE SPENDING TIME WITH HIM.
LOOK AT YOU, OUR LITTLE FELICITY.
OH, GOD. ALL THOSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE AT MY APARTMENT ANY MINUTE.
I TOLD NOEL THAT WE NEEDED MORE SALAD STUFF,
BUT HE NEVER LISTENS.
THE THING IS, I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH DAVID,
AND I THOUGHT THE TWO OF US
FELT THE SAME WAY ABOUT THAT.
I THOUGHT THINGS WERE JUST KIND OF CASUAL.
HE'S THE SWEETEST GUY, AND I'VE COMPLETELY MISLED HIM.
I'M A HORRIBLE, CALLOUS PERSON!
THAT'S A LITTLE EXTREME.
I MEAN, YOU DIDN'T KNOW HOW STRONGLY HE FELT UNTIL LAST NIGHT,
AND HE IS MOVING A LITTLE QUICKLY.
OH, MY GOD! I'M THE BEN OF THIS SITUATION.
DAVID HAS ALL THESE STRONG FEELINGS, AND I LED HIM ON.
COME ON. YOU'RE NOT BEN.
I AM. I'M BEN.
THAT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THING.
CAN YOU GRAB A COUPLE OF TOMATOES?
WHAT AM I GONNA DO?
EVENTUALLY, TALK TO HIM,
BUT RIGHT NOW, HELP ME GET THE REST OF THIS STUFF
SO WE CAN FEED THOSE PEOPLE.
YOU'RE RIGHT. I HAVE TO TALK TO HIM,
BUT I HAVE GOT TO TALK TO HIM RIGHT AWAY.
LISTEN, YOU CANNOT TALK TO DAVID TONIGHT,
NOT DURING THANKSGIVING AT MY APARTMENT,
WHERE I AM HOSTING YOU, DAVID,
YOUR PARENTS, AND HIS MOTHER.
PROMISE ME YOU WON'T DO IT TONIGHT.
Man: ♪ YOU'RE ALWAYS SAYING
♪ YOU'RE AFRAID TO LOVE, YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH ♪
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
♪ YOU GOTTA GIVE IT UP
PROFESSOR SHERMAN, HI.
CAN I COME IN?
I'M CARRYING 5 HEAVY BOTTLES IN THESE BAGS,
AND I NEED TO USE THE LOO.
THE LOO AS IN THE BATHROOM. YEAH, OF COURSE.
UM, COME IN. IT'S RIGHT OVER THERE. HERE.
THANKS.
SO, HOW ARE THOSE MID-TERM PROJECTS COMING?
Sherman: FINE, THANKS.
GOOD. MR. AND MRS. PORTER, HI.
HELLO, NOEL. HOW ARE YOU?
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU. UM, YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU CAN PUT YOUR JACKETS
IN THE BACK ROOM BACK THERE.
GOOD TO SEE YOU. HOW'VE YOU BEEN?
GOOD. FELICITY AND ELENA WILL BE HERE ANY MINUTE, OK?
[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
HOLD ON. WHAT ABOUT THAT SAUCE, HUH?
HOW IS IT?
HOW 'BOUT SOME WATER WITH THAT?
[CHOKING] THANK...
HOW'S IT GOING?
GOOD. GOTTA KEEP MOVING.
I REALLY THINK THEIR PALATES
ARE ADJUSTING TO THE TASTE
OF THE SMOOTHAISE.
HOW'S IT GOING WITH YOU?
UH, IT'S FINE.
YEAH? YEAH.
Charles: SORRY TO INTERRUPT ALL YOUR CHEWING AND TALKING,
BUT I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING
TO THE BENEFIT FOR THE LEROY STREET SHELTER.
OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE TWICE AS MUCH MONEY AS WE DID LAST YEAR,
AND THANKS TO YOUR GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS, WE'VE DONE THAT.
UM, SO ON BEHALF OF THE FAMILIES AT THE SHELTER,
THIS REALLY IS A THANKSGIVING.
NOW, I'D PERSONALLY APPRECIATE IT
IF YOU'D ALL HAVE A GOOD TIME AND ENJOY THE FINE FOOD.
THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
BEN, I NEED YOU TO GO TO THE BACK
AND GET SOME MORE OF THE DUMPLINGS. THEY'RE A BIG HIT.
OK. OK.
THANK YOU.
OK, AND YOU NEED TO KEEP MOVING, BIG BOY, OK?
BECAUSE THE SHRIMP HAVE TO GET TO THE PEOPLE AND NOT VICE VERSA.
MM-HMM.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK HERE?
YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE?
MAGGIE, YOUR HUSBAND IS RIGHT OUTSIDE.
WHAT, DO YOU THINK I'M GONNA THROW YOU
RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND HERE OR SOMETHING?
JUST WANTED TO SAY HI.
HI.
LOOK, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING.
I MEAN, I GOTTA GET BACK OUT THERE.
WELL, I'M SURE THAT IT'LL BE OK
IF WE JUST STAY BACK HERE
FOR A MINUTE... OR TWO.
[MAGGIE GIGGLES]
[KISS]
I HATE TO INTERRUPT,
BUT I THINK YOU GUYS SHOULD PROBABLY
GET BACK OUT TO THE PARTY.
YOUR HUSBAND'S LOOKING FOR YOU.
A LITTLE BIT OF VODKA...
OH, THAT'S VERY NICE.
AND THEN PUT A LITTLE BIT OF SHERRY.
YOU MIX THOSE TOGETHER?
THAT'S RIGHT.
AND, OF COURSE, RASPBERRY.
OH, OF COURSE.
AND IT'S JUST THIS WONDERFUL POLISH RECIPE.
ELENA, FELICITY, UH...
HI.
Noel: HEY.
HELLO. WHAT?
Mom: MEGHAN, OH, I'M SO GLAD YOU COULD COME.
WHEN I CALLED FOR YOU YESTERDAY
AND MEGHAN ANSWERED THE PHONE,
I INVITED HER TO JOIN US.
I GUESS I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT.
OH, THIS'LL BE GREAT.
ANNIE IS WHIPPING UP QUITE A PUNCH BACK THERE.
IT SMELLS LIKE PURE ALCOHOL.
Annie: BARBARA, WOULD YOU LIKE SOME OF THIS?
SURE.
MOM'S GONNA GET TOASTED.
THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT.
DAVID CALLED. HE'S ON HIS WAY,
AND HE SAID NOT TO WORRY.
[SIGH] FROM THE MOMENT I MET YOU,
I KNEW YOU TWO WOULD MAKE A WONDERFUL COUPLE.
I WAS RIGHT.
YEAH.
I HAVE TO TELL YOU, I HAVEN'T SEEN DAVID
THIS HAPPY IN SUCH A LONG TIME.
THANK GOD YOU TWO FOUND EACH OTHER.
IT'S LIKE HE'S COME ALIVE AGAIN.
I'M... I'M GLAD.
HEY, UH, THANKS FOR BEFORE.
HEY, NO PROBLEM.
I ALWAYS LOVE HELPING OUT WITH ILLICIT AFFAIRS.
SO YOU'RE MAD.
NO, I'M NOT MAD.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO RUN INTERFERENCE
FOR YOU ANYMORE TONIGHT.
I KNOW, I KNOW. I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
IS SHE REALLY WORTH IT?
I DON'T KNOW.
IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT, NOT TALKING TO DAVID UNTIL TOMORROW.
HAVE SOME OF THAT 200-PROOF PUNCH.
IT'LL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.
THANK YOU.
WELL, FELICITY WAS TELLING ME
HOW MUCH SHE LOVES YOUR CLASS.
SHE'S A WONDERFUL STUDENT.
SHE'S VERY COMMITTED TO HER DRAWING, AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW.
YES, I DO.
Dad: OH, BOY, THAT LOOKS GOOD.
HER PARENTS AND HIS PARENTS ARE ACTUALLY GETTING ALONG.
ISN'T SOMEBODY GONNA FIGHT SOON?
HEY, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT DINNER
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DO AT THE DORM?
OH, YEAH.
I'M STARVING!
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
HEY. HEY.
OH, I'M SORRY I'M LATE.
I HAD A CRISIS WITH THE PUMPKIN PIE.
IT'S A LONG STORY.
HEY, DAVID'S HERE!
HI, SWEETIE. HELLO.
YEAH. UM, WHERE SHOULD I PUT MY COAT?
UM, BACK HERE. I'LL SHOW YOU.
Noel: COME IN, DAVID. RELAX.
YOUR MOM'S HERE.
Noel: HI, DAVID.
I LIKE DAVID.
HOW ARE YOU?
I'M GOOD. FINE.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO OVERWHELM YOU LAST NIGHT,
BUT I WAS TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW I FEEL.
Meghan: ARE YOU GUYS FIGHTING IN THERE?
IF YOU ARE, TALK LOUDER.
I GUESS WE SHOULD GO OUT THERE,
BUT, UM...
WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT LATER.
OK.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
NOT REALLY.
LOOK, IF YOU WANT TO TALK SOMETIME,
I MEAN, MAYBE WE COULD GO FOR, LIKE, A COFFEE OR SOMETHING.
I MEAN, I KNOW OBVIOUSLY NOT TONIGHT, BUT...
Charles: MAGGIE, COULD YOU COME HERE?
UH, THERE'S SOMEBODY I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET.
ACTUALLY, I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET SOMEONE, TOO.
THIS IS BEN.
I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD MEET THE PERSON I'VE BEEN SLEEPING WITH.
YOU'RE DRUNK, AND THIS ISN'T THE PLACE FOR THIS.
WHAT, YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON ALLOWED TO CHEAT, CHARLIE?
SO YOU WEREN'T EVEN SURPRISED?
ONLY THAT YOU DIDN'T TELL US.
I KNEW YOU WERE WAVERING A LITTLE BIT LAST YEAR,
AND I HOPE YOU GET PAST THAT,
BUT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH YOUR DECISION.
I AM.
CAN'T SAY THAT I'M REALLY THRILLED ABOUT IT,
BUT I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE HAPPY
WITH YOUR CLASSES AND WITH DAVID.
I REALLY DO LIKE HIM.
THAT'S GOOD.
AND HE AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY
OF HIM COMING OUT TO PALO ALTO FOR CHRISTMAS.
OH.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
[OVEN DOOR CREAKS]
Annie: GOT IT?
YEAH.
ANNIE, ANNIE.
WHAT'S IN THE PUNCH?
NOEL, I'M NOT GONNA ANSWER THAT AGAIN.
I ALREADY ASKED THAT?
TWICE.
OH. I'M GONNA GO LAY DOWN FOR A SECOND.
Dad: SO WHAT ARE YOU UP TO IN ORGANIC CHEM?
UM, RIGHT NOW WE'RE STUDYING STEREOISOMERS
AND THEIR SUBCLASSES.
PRETTY TEDIOUS STUFF.
Dad: I PROMISE WHEN YOU'RE IN YOUR RESIDENCY,
THE LAST THING YOU'LL HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ARE STEREOISOMERS.
[EXHALES]
Noel: HI.
SORRY. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE IN HERE.
NO APOLOGIES NECESSARY.
I WAS JUST GETTING THAT SPINNING-ROOM SENSATION.
I HAD TO GET OUT OF THERE FOR A SECOND.
YEAH. I'M FEELING A LITTLE SPINNY MYSELF.
[CHUCKLES]
WHAT?
NOTHING.
I WAS JUST, UH, THINKING ABOUT THANKSGIVING LAST YEAR.
REMEMBER JAVIER AND HIS TURKEY?
OH, AND THOSE EXPLODING SWEET POTATOES.
GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WAS A YEAR AGO.
OH, I KNOW.
IT FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY.
REALLY?
YEAH.
I DON'T KNOW.
FOR ME IT SEEMS LIKE A MILLION YEARS AGO.
HMM.
Annie: I THINK I LEFT MY MATCHES IN MY COAT POC...
[DOOR CLOSES]
THAT WAS PROFESSOR SHERMAN.
UH-HUH.
[ALL TALKING AT ONCE]
David: MRS. P. Mom: THANK YOU.
ACTUALLY, I'M TRYING TO STAY AWAY FROM CARBOHYDRATES.
David: OOH, THE BEANS LOOK GOOD.
Mom: EVERYTHING LOOKS SO GOOD.
COULD I PROPOSE A TOAST?
IT IS WONDERFUL TO BRING TWO FAMILIES TOGETHER LIKE THIS.
TO HAVE GOOD FRIENDS HERE MAKES IT EVEN MORE SPECIAL.
THANK YOU, NOEL AND ELENA, FOR HOSTING SUCH A LOVELY DINNER.
MM-HMM.
Dad: THANK YOU.
Noel: THAT WAS VERY NICE.
THANK YOU.
COULD YOU PASS THE BREAD?
SURE. THANK YOU.
I'M REALLY SORRY. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THAT CAME FROM.
ME, TOO.
Noel: WE SHOULD, UH, WE SHOULD TALK,
MAYBE WHEN THE PUNCH WEARS OFF SOMETIME IN FEBRUARY.
THAT'D BE GOOD.
THANK YOU.
MMM, THE TURKEY'S DELICIOUS, ELENA.
MMM.
David: IT'S REALLY GOOD. THANKS.
CAN I KEEP THE BONES?
SURE.
SO, ANNIE, UH, I HOPE MY DAUGHTER
GETS SPECIAL TREATMENT IN CLASS
CONSIDERING SHE'S DATING YOUR SON.
[LAUGHTER]
NO SPECIAL TREATMENT.
David: BUT I'M WORKING ON IT. SO, MOM, YOU KNOW...
IF I CAN GET THAT SET UP...
YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T THAT BAD A JOKE.
CAN I TALK TO YOU A MINUTE?
UH-UH.
RIGHT NOW.
LOOK, DAVID HAS ALREADY HAD HIS HEART BROKEN ONCE THIS YEAR.
I HOPE YOU HAVE THE DECENCY TO BE HONEST WITH HIM
AND TELL HIM ABOUT YOU AND NOEL.
YOU AND NOEL?
WE HAD A LITTLE TOO MUCH PUNCH
AND... IT WAS JUST STUPID.
WE, UH, HAD THIS SORT OF... THIS LITTLE KISS.
YOU KISSED NOEL?
YOU KISSED NOEL AGAIN?
AGAIN?
WHAT ARE YOU...
WHAT? I WAS JUST COMING IN
TO GET MY LACTAID OUT OF MY COAT.
Dad: UM, IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
Meghan: YEAH. FELICITY AND NOEL
WERE MAKING OUT OR SOMETHING.
MEGHAN!
Noel: NOW, THAT'S REALLY A MISREAD OF THIS SITUATION.
DAVID, I'M SORRY.
Annie: WELL, YOU SHOULD BE.
ANNIE, WHY DON'T YOU LET THEM WORK IT OUT?
MOM, PLEASE. IT'S NOT LIKE FELICITY AND I ARE MARRIED.
IT'S VERY CASUAL.
Annie: IT'S A TERRIBLE WAY TO TREAT SOMEONE.
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.
DON'T TALK TO MY DAUGHTER THAT WAY.
IT'S MY FAULT. I'M THE ONE WHO KISSED HER.
I HAD A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH TO DRINK, AND I JUST...
Elena: YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE CO-HOSTING...
DAVID... CAN DAVID AND I JUST HAVE A SECOND ALONE?
JUST... PLEASE.
OF COURSE. YEAH.
ALL RIGHT.
DAVID, I'M SORRY.
I... I WAS GONNA TALK TO YOU LATER, WHEN WE WERE ALONE.
YEAH, GOOD TIMING ALL AROUND.
I DON'T GET IT. YOU SAID YOU WERE OVER NOEL.
I AM.
OHH.
LOOK, THIS ISN'T ABOUT NOEL.
IT REALLY ISN'T.
THAT'S HARD TO BELIEVE RIGHT NOW.
DAVID, IT'S TRUE.
LAST NIGHT, WHEN YOU AND I WERE TALKING...
IT TOTALLY FREAKED YOU OUT WHEN I SAID THE WORD LOVE.
I REALLY LIKE YOU.
THE KISS OF DEATH.
NO, STOP IT. I JUST...
I GUESS I WAS BEING SELFISH
BECAUSE I ASSUMED THAT YOU AND I FELT THE SAME THING.
IT'S JUST THAT WE SAID, YOU KNOW,
NO PRESSURE, NO EXPECTATIONS,
AND... I JUST BROKE UP WITH BEN TWO MONTHS AGO,
AND I SPENT ALL LAST YEAR
FOLLOWING BEN OR FOLLOWING NOEL,
AND... NO MATTER HOW MUCH I LIKE YOU,
I NEED TO NOT BE IN A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP RIGHT NOW.
I'M SO SORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING.
YOU COULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING SOONER
SO I DIDN'T MAKE A FOOL OF MYSELF.
I DIDN'T KNOW, AND...
I'M SO SORRY.
Sean: I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE THIS.
Julie: THIS IS GREAT.
YEAH?
NO OFFENSE, BUT THIS TURKEY TASTES REALLY WEIRD
OH, THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S TOFURKEY.
WHAT?
TOFURKEY. TOFU TURKEY.
WELL, THE GUY PROMISED ME IT TASTES EXACTLY THE SAME,
BUT IF YOU DON'T THINK SO,
WE CAN ALWAYS SLATHER IT WITH SMOOTHAISE...
NO, NO, NO, NO, THIS IS GOOD, THIS IS GOOD, RIGHT?
TOFURKEY IS GOOD AS IS.
YEAH?
SO, ALL IN ALL, I THOUGHT TONIGHT
WENT REALLY WELL, DIDN'T YOU?
[LAUGHTER]
OH, YEAH. NO, NO, IT WAS PERFECT. A PERFECT EVENING.
YOU KNOW WHAT? PERSONALLY, I THINK
YOU ARE BETTER OFF WITHOUT HER
BECAUSE SHE'S OBVIOUSLY CRAZY.
YEAH, AND I KNOW YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS RIGHT NOW,
BUT IT'S GOOD FOR EVERYONE TO GET THEIR HEART BROKEN AT LEAST ONCE.
NO, NO. MY HEART WAS NOT BROKEN.
IT WAS JUST, LIKE, A FLING, SEAN.
NO, I KNOW. THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT.
I JUST MEANT THAT, UM...
YOU CAN PROBABLY LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS.
YEAH.
TO WHAT, TO NEVER TRUST ANYBODY AGAIN?
HOW ABOUT THIS? NEVER WORK A PARTY ATTENDED
BY YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND HER HUSBAND.
VERY GOOD, AND THIS.
THE NEXT TIME AN ATTRACTIVE BLOND
EVER WANTS TO BUY A LOT OF MUFFINS FROM YOU, SAY NO.
NEVER DATE A CATERER.
YOU GUYS ARE HYSTERICAL. YOU'RE A BIG HELP.
WELL, WE TRY.
YEAH, YOU DO. THANKS.
WHAT ABOUT A TOAST?
MM-HMM.
YEAH.
TO, UH, TOFURKEY.
TOFURKEY.
HMM. THE SNOW IS NICE, HUH?
YEAH.
OK, YOU GUYS CAN SAY SOMETHING
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
OK.
GOTTA GET THE RECIPE FOR THAT PUNCH.
[LAUGHS]
GOD, I'M SUCH A DISASTER.
I'M SO EMBARRASSED.
DON'T BE.
THANKS FOR HELPING.
I WANTED TO HIT YOUR TEACHER.
JUST DIDN'T WANT TO SCREW UP YOUR GPA.
IT'S TRUE. I PRACTICALLY HAD TO HOLD HER BACK.
I ACTUALLY DON'T BLAME PROFESSOR SHERMAN.
I'M JUST NOT REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HER IN CLASS.
DO YOU GUYS WANT TO MEET FOR BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING?
THAT'D BE GREAT.
SEE YOU LATER.
SO, UH, WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN WITH YOU AND NOEL?
I DON'T KNOW.
FEELS SO NICE TO BE A PART OF YOUR LIFE AGAIN,
EVEN IF IT'S JUST FOR A MOMENT.
