This is difficult.
Tell me about it.
Your sister needs support.
I am doing everything I can to help her.
You're angry.
Of course I am.
Well, you have to try and deal with that,
so it doesn't leak into your efforts to
care for April and help your sister.
How do I do that?
Directly.
Really?
I have known you and your sister
for a very short period of time.
But you do get the dynamic.
It's hard to miss.
There's a lot of resentment towards
you for helping her out.
So I shouldn't help her?
'course you should.
But you have to understand she has an illness.
And you have to try not to resent her
for her vulnerability.
I do resent her.
I know.
And I would too if I were you.
She doesn't-
You can say it.
It won't change anything.
It might.
She just doesn't think before she acts, she's
constantly getting herself into trouble and she's always
expected me to clean up her mess.
Not your mom?
My mom?
She's more of a child than Katie.
Susanna-
on a certain level,
every new mother goes crazy raising her child,
especially if she doesn't have support
or a job to give her some distance.
It's like being in an induced psychotic state
where bowel movements and sneezes take on epic proportions
that terrify the mother,
as much as a moment of cuddling
warms her heart in ways
most women never imagined possible.
But Katie does have--
She has it worse.
I'm now talking
about you.
About what your life is and what it may become
taking care of April
as well as your sister
and your job.
With little or no support.
I appreciate that.
But I don't feel like I have a choice.
Ok, listen I-
I have a patient waiting.
But I think you should come back to
talk about this more in depth.
Ok?
I think it would help you
and I would also like to be confident that
April and Katie are in a supportive environment.
Are you asking me to see you?
Or telling me that I have to?
Think about it.
You wouldn't see me-
I'd recommend another therapist.
Doctor-
If you were me,
would you take your own apartment
or move into Katie's?
If it's not too disruptive to your life,
I'd move into her place.
It would be less of a change for the baby.
And if that mockingbird don't sing,
I'm gonna buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring don't shine.
Hush little baby don't say a word,
I'm gonna buy you a mockingbird.
How lucky am I, hmm?
How lucky am I?
Ok.
There we go.
Hey!
Hi.
I am so sorry it's late.
Thanks.
Really, I'm very sorry.
Please don't do it again.
I live paycheck to paycheck.
I won't, I.
I have some more stuff to bring up.
Ok, great.
Hey, Mark.
Hey, where are you, babe?
I'm staying at Katie's.
It's just temporary; it's better for the baby.
Well we got peeps coming over tonight, remember?
Yeah, no the thing is--
Yeah?
I have a big dinner with Fred tonight.
Tonight? -Yeah.
When will you be back?
Maybe I can bring 'em to Katie's.
Yeah I'll be back by eleven if--
How many people?
Only about ten
from work.
Ok, great.
Mwah.
Hi, Marta.
How is she?
She's sleeping.
How long's she been sleeping?
Since you left.
That's great.
Call me if you need anything.
I will.
Ok, thanks.
Fred couldn't make it so he asked me to fill in.
I hope that's ok.
Of course.
Care for a beverage?
I bet you like wine, good wines.
Fred said you have good taste in wines
and an expense account to match.
Did he? Well,
please, choose well.
I like burgundies.
Batard Montrachet. Ramonet. '86.
Montrachet. The "t" is silent.
Montrachet. Thank you.
Of course.
It's a great year.
Pricey, but worth it.
Batard, I think that actually means ***.
It's a funny name for a wine: ***.
Fred's given me free rein to make this deal or not.
In case you were wondering.
Great, let's get down to business.
How bad do you want it?
How far are you willing to go?
As far as I can justify to management.
Well, I understand that you're under pressure
internally to produce.
Is this really necessary?
I just want to let you know that I'm aware of your hand,
and it's not strong.
But, I've always liked you.
And?
And I might even do you a favor or two.
And?
Will you reciprocate?
There's a great place, after dinner we could celebrate.
I have people coming over to my place.
I just want to know if you're willing
to go the distance if I am.
I think we should get back to the deal.
This is the deal.
Then the answer is no.
I'm confused, what's the question?
You're asking to have sex with me for the deal.
I want what goes along with the sex.
Are you or are you not asking to
screw me to make this deal?
No, no.
Are you disappointed?
What are you asking me for?
You speak French?
Un peu.
De l'argent.
Money?
I'm not asking you to pay me to have sex,
although occasionally I might be worth it.
You want me to pay you for the deal.
In a court of law if I were to ask you for money
as consideration to make a deal
that'd be considered bribery.
I never asked you for money.
But you want it.
Ball's in your court.
Yes.
