Oh, my darling,

What do they say?

This is such

a cry for help,

I'm here to answer it,

Patsy, we don't need you anymore,

You can go,

Thank you for your help,

Mel, wake up, honey,

Well, honey,

it was my house she came to,

Well, she probably

assumed

that with your 40th

birthday coming up,

there'd be plenty

of pills on hand,

Good one, Granny,

Oh!

[Relieved

Giggles]

Mel!

Oh, God, Mel,

I am so sorry,

Where's Toni?

It's all my fault,

There are too many people in here,

and we have rules,

Melanie,

Wait, Why

are you sorry?

Come on, Sis,

Oh, God, Oh, Mel,

please forgive me,

Security!

You didn't try

to kill yourself over Bruce?

[Sobs]

Oh!

One! Just one!

Everybody else out!

All right,

We'll go quietly,

You... You get out,

Hi, Rosie,

You get out... now!

I'll be back,

You take good care

of my baby,

Bye, Rosie,

[Rosie Sobs]

That will be all,

thank you,

Yeah, If you don't

let them both stay,

you're gonna have some

more patients on your hands,

Melanie,

Please just let me

help you,

Mel, I want you

to come home,

and I'm gonna

cook you dinner,

Why does Patsy's

friendship with Melanie

bother you so much?

Melly was 3 when

my daughter Emma died,

Patsy was Emma's

best friend

and worst influence,

After Emma was gone, Patsy felt

that she should raise Melly,

and I would not

have it,

She thinks that she

could have done a better job

than I did,

But I did the best

that I could,

I wanted her

to appreciate life,

I wanted her to be

responsible,

I wanted her to understand

the essential things,

[Sighs]

You want a lot,

Is that so bad?

Say, how's your chronicle

coming along?

My chronicle,

Ha ha ha,

You know,

it's like, um,,,

it's like composing

a symphony,

I tried to write a symphony

when I was about 18,

I love music,

But I... I... I, um,

I never finished it,

Well, you should,

It's important to leave

something behind, isn't it?

I think it is,

Who is this?

Her name's Lola,

Lola,

She's a showgirl?

Vegas,

Really?

Mmm,

Ha,

She's my mother!

She is!

What?

She's got the best legs

on the line,

Oh, she's awesome,

[Laughs]

Oh!

This... This is,,,

certainly interesting,

Oh,,,

you have no idea,

Lola's had

a really rough life,

but she... Boy,

She always comes up

kickin',

She's the reason

I became a therapist,

I saw how much good

it did her,

Oh, God,

She's the best mom

in the whole world,

Hmm,

Now you make sure

that you tell her that,

I guarantee you

she needs to hear that

on occasion,

Well,,, see you

next week,

O, K,

You've been

fighting again,

Is it broken?

Is it?

All you've done

all your life is fight,

Like you haven't?
