Her sister says that

she's fallen on hard times.

You know, drugs, prostitution,

who knows what else.

I guess she's trying to get her

sh*t back together, but...

I blame her father.

Rich Republican prick.

But that's a pretty good way

to get back at him, I suppose.

"Hey, I'm blowing strangers

for drug money, Daddy.

"What do you

think of me now?"

This looks

like Lynne. Lynne!

Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Two Pinot Noir, please!

I don't get the Lynne thing.

Why "Lynne"?

I thought you hated "Lynne."

Excuse me.

Just let me get through.

Wilson.

Jesus Christ, man!

I'm just trying to get

my life together

and make a clean start.

Why would you show up

and say that sh*t?

I can't get over

how amazing you look.

I thought you'd be some...

nasty, skanky, rat-haired,

snaggle-toothed...

sore-infested ho.

But look...

it's like you came

through the gauntlet

without a scratch!

Wilson, you showed up at my work

and called me a crack whore.

In front of Melissa!

Well, you know what?

I didn't know!

I was afraid you were living

with a biker gang or something.

You can't imagine all the stuff

running through my head...

from the sh*t

that Polly told me.

You talked to Polly?

Yeah, I mean...

Who the f***

does she think she is?

She doesn't know the first

goddamn thing about my life.

And now she's saying bullshit

to everybody about me?

No. No!

(SIGHS)

(BREATHING DEEPLY)

I'm not doing this.

I'm not.

Because this is exactly

what she wants!

I am cooling out.

Mmm-hmm.

Doesn't know a goddamn

thing about my business.

I always told you that she

was a nightmare, remember?

Wilson, you said that

about everybody.

Was I wrong?

(CHUCKLES)

What do you want, Wilson?

My dad died and, uh...

Robert moved away,

so I'm all alone...

MOW.

I miss you, Pippi.

Yeah.

Sh*t. I wasn't...

I wasn't supposed to drink.

Huh?

Can this really be the

same Pippi who used to...

smoke and drink and

curse and fart and belch?

She was a disgusting pig.

Well, there was

never a dull moment,

that's for sure.

(WILSON CHUCKLES)

Pippi?

You were the only person

who ever bothered

to get to know the real me.

And I knew the real you.

The real Pippi.

And I think that maybe...

maybe I still know her.

It's been really hard.

I had some bad years.

I am so...

proud of you.

(EXHALES)

You're doing so good.

You're an amazing woman.

What's this?

(DOG WHINES)

No, no, no.

Pepper, down.

F***!

What?

Sorry, she's a little

bit overprotective.

Sh*t, I can't believe

you still live here.

Oh, I know, it's great, but...

you know, I can't help but think

it would've been great

if you just...

had the baby, and then we'd...
