"You are now also the first to change your life.

"People think being a good mother

"means you have to be there all the time,

"or be perfect, but really,

"a mother needs to just be happy.

"Tomas, I know it is hard to be..."

You know, I don't really know what to say to Tomas.

I'm sorry, I know he's your brother,

and you love him, I just...

[Ike] We weren't judging or taking sides, I thought.

Yeah, and I think your love is beautiful.

Cybil just stays right there, and judges everyone.

I want to be Cybil.

[Cybil] That's because he doesn't have a letter.

[Ike] Where's yours?

Cybil.

Wait, are you talking shared custody?

Well...

Okay. I don't think Tomas or Alis wants shared custody.

[Ike] I think we should hear Cybil's letter.

Right.

Cybil doesn't have the letter,

Cybil doesn't have a place card.

"Dear Alis and Tomas..."

Cybil has a place card if she wants one.

"We have known each other for the past ten years.

"You introduced me to my husband,

"and now, I wish you hadn't.

"I know you think you are in

"the worst possible situation imaginable, but you are not.

"I wish I was in your situation."

[Woman] I'm so sorry.

[Vineke] "Fighting with Peter

"about who will spend more time with our own son.

"This is why I want you to stop fighting.

"You wish that what you feared most

"was what you were dealing with.

"Because there's something worse

"that you could have never imagined."

(Pans rattling)

Oh my God, would you just f***ing grow up?

I'm so sick of you all.

[Ike] That's about right.

[Felice] I'm gonna, I'm gonna go.

Didn't she say no anger?

I'll do it.

Go ahead, drink your wine, I'll be back.

Finds a way to make it about her.

[Cybil] I'm sorry, I'm the a**hole.

I'll fix it.

No, you're not.

It's stressful, it's stressful.

[Cybil] I'm being an a**hole.

I'm sorry.

She's like an open wound, all the goddamn time.

[Maria] All right, she thinks Peter left her

because of Alis leaving Tom,

just give her a break.

[Ike] We need to move on to the happy stuff.

[Maria] Wine?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Wine.

And I'll write something.

[Tomas] Start celebrating without me?

Hi.

(Cheering)

Wow, you're earlier than I thought you were gonna be.

I'm so glad to see you.

Here, I'm coming up.
