- Big Love S02E11 - "Take Me As I Am"

Anyone getting married?

An old sorority sister... We used to be close.

'Morning Nick.

Hi sweetie! - What's up?

Nothing.

How about wild unsupervised

compound parties in my backyard?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Sorry.

Fine, but I was supervising it.

Dad, it didn't even get off the ground.

Alby shut it down before the band played one song.

Alby was here?

Just for a minute.

Where did you get the money for a band? - Wanda brought it.

Why didn't you tell me that Alby was here? What did he want?

Nothing.

Kathy Marquart.

Your dad wants her, but don't worry I got rid of him.

How?

I told him he couldn't have her.

And that he couldn't hurt us anymore now that we diversified.

I don't understand.

Weber Gaming.

It took the wind right out of his sails.

No, I can't see you.

Mother!

No no no.

Just let me talk. - I can't.

Why won't you?

Have you left him?

No!

Are you going to?

I had to read about your wedding in the paper!

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you myself.

I'm not made of steel, you know?

What about the children?

You're trying to rope me in and I can't let you.

They need you.

I can't just see them once or twice a year and send them back to that house of yours.

You shouldn't put me in a position like this.

It is so unfair.

Mommy, who is it?

You couldn't tell me either?

You have to leave her alone.

She's on low blood pressure. She's under a lot of stress.

I'm not talking to you.

There's no reason why we should be at each other, Alby.

We should be able to live peacefully in our separate spheres.

How could you think I hold any animosity?

Because Wanda tried to murder me?

Because you and your brother covered it up?

Because you humiliated me in front of my father?

Let's talk. - About what?

About Weber Gaming, I know you know.

The company you stole from us. - I acquired it fairly.

I have something that could be much more useful to you.

I will determine what's useful to me.

I'll sell you my seat on the U. E. B.

Why would you do that?

It's your toehold into our kingdom.

You can't have the power without a seat at the table.

And you can't vote Roman's until he passes.

It could be months, or years.

Alby!

I don't have the same fascination with you my father seems to, Bill.

Without a voting seat on the E.U.B., you're just a pretender.

I appreciate your interest and will take it under advisement.

"That was great!"

Who's L?

What was great?

She's my ex girlfriend.

We're just friends.

So, what was great?

Sarah, we never said we were exclusive.

I didn't think we had to.

I didn't want to rush you into anything.

You think I should just be celibate?

You could have been honest.

Ok, I'm being honest.

I think I should see other women.

Women?

Plural?

You know how much I care about you.

I can't take this responsibility.

What responsibility?

The whole virgin thing!

I'm not asking you to take responsibility for my virginity.

I don't want to put any pressure on you, I know you're not ready.

And I would never ask it of you, but

I can't live like a monk either. - Ok, forget it.

What's her name?

I'm sorry.

Flagraising tomorrow at 6AM and box seats at Pioneer Howdy Daze

Could only get the barrel with it.

Thanks, Audrey.

Pioneer Howdy Daze.

Every year going trouts out the floats.

Joseph Smith in the centre of them.

There's no sign of his 34 wives.

You don't like the floating?

I'm just tired of the hypocrisy, son.

I got to introduce Margie and your mother as my wives,

together, at a convention in Wendover.

A Albert Grand called about an atorney's valuation of a U.E.B. seat.

You're giving up our seat on the U.E.B.?

No, just a negociation tactic.

I want you to invite some of the Weber Gaming people over.

For the after parade party next Saturday.

Not a lot, just 4 or 5 people.

I don't even know the Weber Gaming people.

Sure you do. You know Larry, Sean and Phil?

Let's make it bigger than our little circle of dance family gathering.

You really think they will fit into our crowd?

I don't think Peg and Jojo will want a round of shots.

Just make the call.

I don't feel I know them well enough to call them.

How far is this gonna go, Bill?

Don't be dramatic.

Goodbye Bill.

I'll call Larry. - You don't have to.

I don't mind, we're having dinner this week.

Need to firm things up.

Who's having dinner?

Me and Bill, Larry and his girlfriend Susie.

You should come!

As an LDS woman,

how do you feel about surrogacy?

If the couple is in need.

- That's what I think. If a god-fearing couple,

I mean, a man and a woman,

can't conceive. What could be wrong with it?

They're not easy to come by.

Barb!

Margene!

Margene Heffman?

She's a surrogate.

I assumed you knew.

When she told me, I was floored.

There's only a handful of them in the state.

It's hard not to think that, living across the street from one,

isn't a sign or something, don't you think?

I mean, It would be Carl's sperm.

I never thought I'd hear myself say that.

It's allright, just Carl's sperm,

I tried to talk our Heavenly Father into letting us adopt.

That's not the answer for us.

And Carl is concerned. If I can't have his children,

Where will his spirit go? To an atheist, or an addict?

I want this so bad.

I'm prepared to offer her 50.000 dollars.

Don't rush into anything yet.

You told Bill I paid you a visit.

I don't care for that.

You and I need to have a more private relationship.

What do you want?

I'm busy, I'm in the middle of making dinner.

Your husband stole Weber Gaming from Papa.

I have memo's, cancelled checks.

I have piles of evidence,

that Papa was poised to buy Weber Gaming.

You were going to get Bill

to give the company back.

Nicky, when our Papa wakes up, the first thing he will hear,

is that you are a tithe stealer.

You stole 68.000 dollars, and the sad part is,

he will believe it. Because you are greedy and amoral,

and you know everyone knows it.

I have stolen nothing.

And there's no way I can get Bill to return the company.

You better figure out a way, you hear me?

Thief!

Don't shut me out.

All I was doing was taking control of my own destiny.

Like my story to the neighbors.

I did not want to be the unwed mother, that's all.

It's ludicrous.

I feel sorry for Pam. She even thinks it's a possibility.

What did you do?

I told Pam I was a surrogate, because

I did not want to be an unwed mother.

She wants me to have a baby for her and Carl.

I don't know if this is what I want But if I wanted it,

I want to be able to want it!

What if I did want it? That's what I'm talking about!

I am not going to have a hypothetical discussion with you

whether or not you can be a surrogate.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall when you tell this to Bill.

I've been a baby factory for you, Barb.

Is that how you feel about it?

I'm just saying you benefited. I expanded your family

when you couldn't anymore. Why not Pam's?

Because our purpose is to bring superior souls into this family.

Not give them away to every Sue, Jane and Sally on the block!

Now look at what you've done!

Hi!

You must be Ben's mother?

Yes...
