Regarding Us

A reading from the first letter

of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.

"Brothers and Sisters...

behold I tell you a mystery.

We shall not fall asleep...

but we will all be changed

in the blink of an eye at the last trumpet.

For that which is corruptible

must clothe itself with incorruptibility,

and that which is mortal must clothe its--"

Mr. Savino, Miss Ramos, slow down.

Sorry, Miss Hathaway.

"Here at the Immaculate Conception,

we pride ourselves in creating a welcoming environment.

However, the secretive manner

in which you've conducted yourself

and the way it has come to light,

the board

feels it is best to quash this

before the Archdiocese gets involved

and the media gets wind of it.

Unfortunately, we can't offer you any sort of severance

due to the unethical grounds for separation."

I'm sorry, we can't support your lifestyle.

Lifestyle?

I feel awful.

No, you don't.

Oh, it's all over Facebook.

I'm surprised you even came in today.

Great picture, by the way.

I don't do Facebook. That's part of my contract.

Oh, well, it's also part of your contract

that we can separate you from your employment

at our discretion.

Do I at least get to say goodbye to my kids?

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, that would cause some...

...unpleasantness.

Oh, don't you think?

After seven years?

Of the 22 students that you have,

um, 17 parents called in today

and said that their children will not be attending school

this morning,

and of the five remaining,

three of whom,

they neither speak, read,

nor write English,

and the-- uh, the remaining two

are on financial aid, full scholarship,

so they won't be-- um, they won't be speaking up.

Way it goes.

-So, now what? -Hmm.

Well, you take your things and go.

But, I mean, just FYI,

when you were, uh, applying for this position,

there were a lot of people vying for the same job

who were more qualified than you,

but we were told to be progressive,

so we went ahead with the African American woman.

You know, we just decided

we just got a little more than we bargained for.

I will fight this.

You really want to put our students,

our school, through all that?

Uh, you love it so much, you've been here seven years,

you're gonna hire a lawyer, you're gonna lawyer up.

What about the Catholic Church,

you don't think they have lawyers?

Big bad, big bad lawyers.

You understand me? How are you gonna pay that bill?

Now, I am-- I am sorry

that we are not being sensitive

to your choices,

but this is the Catholic Church.

Betsy Holland.

You said he'd be back, and he's still not back.

It's okay, you can go back to bed, please.

It's FTM, remember? You have to make breakfast.

FTM? FTM--

Female the male?

-French toast Monday. -Monday. Monday.

Oh. Thank you.

Okay, let's go. Let's go. Thank you.

Okay, let's go. Up. I love you. Let's go, let's go.

You're awake.

Frame such feeling line...

Frame such feeling line that may discover such integrity.

Frame such feeling line that may discover such integrity.

What does integrity mean again?

Uh, having an honest soul.

Oh, shit.

-Cereal's not healthy, remember? -Yes, it is.

No, it's not. It has added sugar and whatnot.

Okay, okay. How about some scrambled eggs?

-Healthy enough? -You don't know how to cook.

-I can cook. -No, you can't.

When we ate spaghetti

you burnt the garlic bread.

Oh, so you're gonna blame me till the day I die

for more kitchen blunder?

Oh, I see how it is.

Frame such feeling line...

Frame such feeling line...

Fuck me.

That may discover such integrity.

That may discover such integrity.

-Maybe I should audition. -Wish you could.

If this one doesn't work out, it's over.

-You always say that. -This time I'm serious.

Does daddy not love us anymore?

Daddy loves you.

He'll be back. He's just busy with work now.

But he's never gone away for work before.

He's just doing research.

What type of research?

He's a scientist. I don't know.

Scientific research.

-He went to France. -What?

You know how your dad is, like, super smart?

Like, he's even smarter than me.

I know.

Well, the country of France requested his expertise

to work on a top secret mission.

Now, I can't really explain it because I'm not a scientist.

-And it's top secret. -And it's top secret.

But your dad is saving lives.

Daddy is a hero.

Okay, let's not be dramatic now.

Two, three.

Good.

One, two, three.

Yes.

Go for it.

Good.

I know I was only on wine, but I also made a quiche.

-I see we have a new member. -Amber.

-Amber, that was beautiful. - You think so?

I was going to sing "Gather Us In,"

but that seemed so overdone.

And this seemed more in my range.

And I actually can't believe that you were never--

Wait a minute.

-What are you doing here? -It's Saturday.

Choir rehearsal.

You know you can't be here.

No, I didn't know that.

But I do now.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Hi, Veronica. It's Mary Ann from Park Realty.

I have a couple that are interested

in seeing the apartment tomorrow from 12 to two,

so if you could just put the key...

What?

Pizza delivery for Veronica.

Hi. Um...

uh, you're Veronica, right?

You ordered the pizza, right?

Hello?

Open up the door.

-Your pizza's here. -Not my pizza.

You're going to pay for the pizza,

and you're leaving him a nice tip.

Not my pizza.

Somebody's got to pay for the pizza.

Not my pizza.

Okay, look, this stops now.

You know, I always knew

there was something wrong with you.

Um...

Yo, Izzy.

Is it true you're moving to France with your dad?

Oui, oui, monsieur.

Liar. Your dad's not in France.

- What? -Yes, he is.
