Big Love

Beep-beep-beep.

- Look, I made it! - Yeah!

- Hello? - There you are.

I have been trying to get you. Where have you been?

- I'm fine, mom, how are you? - Never mind.

- They're repainting. - What?

They're repainting this stupid one-bedroom apartment.

It's three coats to cover these cruddy walls.

I can't stand the fumes.

I'm getting in my car, I'll be there by 3:00.

There where?

Your house. What the heck?

Get off my big duff, finally come see you.

Today?

No, next year.

My mom's coming.

All right.

We have to get things right this time.

Things didn't go so well with Barb's family.

Well, that was just unfortunate.

I want her to get to know Barb and Nicki first as individuals,

then we'll have the conversation.

Yes, then maybe we won't be damned to hell,

and I won't be referred to as the harlot.

I'm excited.

I'm just all...

Me too.

Hello, my darling.

Frank.

You didn't come to see me.

Why should I come to see you? I'm busy.

- Ahh. - Don't you go making yourself at home,

I'm leaving.

You know, if you'd come rub my feet...

I am not gonna rub your dirty feet.

Lydia Volmer said you had a fur coat.

Anita sees you buying a brand-new fancy snowmobile.

Looks like we've done quite a bit of decorating here.

Mama-mia, spicy new furniture.

- Where did you get this stuff, Lois? - I bought it.

Where did you get the money?

I opened a little laundromat.

And where'd you get that?

I don't owe you any explanation.

Eddie helped me.

You're in cahoots with that cocksucker?

That was 27 years ago.

Now could you just move off it?

Lois, I'm your lawfully wedded husband.

I'm entitled to 50% of all your possessions-- one half.

Here.

There's 50.

Go on, beat it.

Why didn't you tell me Roman and the Greenes were both going after Weber Gaming?

What business is it of yours who the other parties were?

It's plenty my business if you give the Greenes my name.

They branded my ass.

And I could've protected you.

Hollis and Selma Greene are terrified of Roman Grant.

Evoke that name, they run away.

Lovely, I'm sure.

But it's my company and I'm tossing it in the air.

You can all have a nice free-for-all over it.

We've got articles of incorporation before the secretary of state--

30 days and our deal's done.

I'll take care of the Greenes.

- This is Hollis Greene. - Hollis?

Bill Henrickson. I spoke with Roman.

I told him of your prior claim on Weber Gaming.

What did he say?

He refused to reconsider, despite some dissent from the board.

As you know,

many board members have historical and familial ties to Ciudad Greene.

It is an unethical corporate raid.

We have trained some spectacularly fine men

with highly unusual asset strengths.

If we don't prevail on Weber, morale will crumble.

I sure wish I could do more.

You, sir, have no need to apologize.

You, sir, are a gentleman and an honorable businessman.

Juniper Creek, however, is a sinkhole of apostasy.

What are we going to do about it?

Thanking you for your time, very truly yours, Hollis Greene.

Carter, you built Weber Gaming up from nothing.

Put it in safe hands, someone who will protect your legacy.

- That's me and you know it. - Do I?

I think there's an excellent case to be made you're all off your rockers.

No--

I'm the good guy.

Yeah.

You're playing with fire.

You're inciting them, Bill.

I'm just exploiting the bad blood between the Greenes and Roman to make the Greenes go away.

There's a fine line between that and egging them on.

I know what I'm doing.

And this is the backyard.

Oh! Lookit.

Lookit, a pool.

Looks just like the penguin's exhibit at the zoo.

You know how penguins go?

Do you know penguins, Aaron? They go like this--

"March of the Penguins."

- Did you take them to see it? - Huh-uh.

I saw it, you don't have to see it.

They go like this--

I...

I can't believe you're actually here, mom.

Had some grandsons to see, didn't I?

And my house.

I've never had a home for you to visit either.

- Kinda crowded back here. - Oh, we're very close.

I can't wait for you to meet them.

I don't know, Margie, it's not good to be so close to the neighbors.

Who knows what could happen? And then, uh...

you're on the outs.

They're great. We're gonna have dinner with them tonight.

Barb lives in this house, Nicki lives in this one.

They're kind of conservative.

- We don't drink. - Oh no!

I bought us two bottles of Stoli.

I'm pregnant, mom.

- That is an old wives' tale. - And no coffee.

No caffeine.

Well, at least you can smoke.

Jesus Christ.

Mom, no bad language. Mom, come...

But do you love him, Margie?

Tell me you love him.

I love him, mom.

Then I'm happy.

I'm happy.

"March of the Penguins."

FBI director Dillon will be in Salt Lake city today.

His visit is part of a nationwide tour of FBI field offices.

Agents say the director's visit is not specific to any one event,

however the Salt Lake office is one of the main field offices

involved in the manhunt for fugitive polygamist leader, Orlean Abbot.

So we cut out the pictures and decoupage them to the mugs.

We stenciled some plates too.

We do an awful lot of projects together.

Sounds like a load of fun.

Oh, it is.

We have such a good time.

Tell them about the time you thought you had a big head.

And then tell them what I said.

when I was in fifth grade, I thought I had a big head.

Like this. Mm-hmm.

She wore her hair to try and hide it.

What did I say?

Mom said I could have a "craniotomy."

There's no such thing.

Right? There's no such thing.

Oh, please. I love her to pieces.

Who wouldn't?

Ginger, Margie and I would like to welcome you to our home.

Are we gonna pray again?

He likes to pray.

Um... prayer is not a stranger in any of our homes, Ginger.

Well, good for you.

Nice beans, Nicki.

This can't be easy for you,

living between two such attractive single women.

Nicki has made a delicious cobbler for dessert.

I hear you're quite the baker.

Me?

Mom?

Telephone.

Oh, I almost forgot.

if I would've been invited to the wedding, I would've brought it then.

But, comme si, comme ca.

Would you look at your hair?

You have absolutely beautiful hair.

Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous, and so shiny.

Pizza stone.

Thank you.

- Hello, Barb. - Joey?

I got some good news.

They're discharging Wanda tomorrow.

Joey, that's.. that's wonderful.

I'm-- I'm really glad.

Yeah, they say she's good... now.

But I'm gonna run up to Idaho.

Do you think you could go get her and take her home?

Tomorrow?

Yeah, it meant a lot to her

when you came and visited her at the hospital.

Joey, I... I don't know.

You know how I feel about the compound.

It's just two hours there and back.

I need to talk to Bill about it.

Why?

- I've never been to the compound alone. - Oh.

Okay.

No no no.

I'll do it.

It's all right.

Barb, thank you.

Do you like Barb and Nicki?

Um...

yeah. They're okay.
