Six Feet Under

Once again no rain, but mostly high clouds.

Since you got so much information, can you tell us

why it smells like skunk outside the studio

- in Hollywood here? - It does?

Sam, do you know why that is?

Okay. Okay, now!

Happy birthday!

Well, thank you.

Thank you very much.

- Happy birthday. - Thank you.

Are you excited to see all your friends at daycare? Yeah.

Did you notice anything in the bathroom?

Aside from a few new wrinkles, no.

It was right by the toilet.

Are you pregnant?

Yes.

That's great! Congratulations!

Congratulations? To whom?

- Come on, what am I supposed to say? - Nothing.

- To you, to all of us! - No no, whatever comes up in your head.

- Brenda, what's the matter? - No, nothing.

Thank you for your hearty congratulations.

- Come on, honey. - Are you sure it's positive?

There you go, honey bun. Maya's gonna be late.

Brenda, I'm happy, I...

Come on, grab hold. Come on, baby.

- Brenda... - see you tonight, I gotta get ready for work.

I'm happy, just tell me again.

Fuck!

Have you seen my ski Iraq shirt anywhere?

- You had that on last night. - Yeah, I didn't ask

whether I had it on last night, I asked whether you've seen it.

I haven't.

Shit!

What is your problem?!

Nothing,

I just don't think I can wear clothes today.

Don't you have class?

Yeah, well, nothing feels right.

Look, maybe you should like see a doctor or something.

For what?

I don't know, dry skin?

- Are you fucking serious? - Well, yeah,

look, I don't know, every day with you it's like a bigger problem.

Not everything is something that you can medicate, Claire!

I know that.

It's just my clothes are...

All heavy today...

Or something. I want my ski Iraq shirt.

Okay, I'll help you find it.

Okay, thanks.

That's all I wanted was some help.

Okay.

Okay.

Shit, I feel like I still have something on.

Mary, Keith and David have something they want to ask you.

I'm on pins and needles.

We've decided that we want you to be our egg donor

and our surrogate.

- Both? - Is that okay?

Yeah, it's just I've never been proposed to like this.

Most people are so businesslike.

You guys are so sweet.

- Whose seed will it be? - His.

So this is something that you would want to do

- for Keith and David? - Yeah, I'd love it.

- I didn't say yes? - Uh, no.

Oh, then yes yes, of course, yes!

Well, good.

Can I ask a question?

Please, David.

We're in this together. Ask ask ask.

Is there caffeine in that?

Oh, we're into that already.

Okay. It was so nice for a minute there.

No, I was just thinking... I've read some books

that say caffeine makes it harder to conceive...

Sometimes, that's all. Just curious.

Maybe you've read something different.

I get pregnant super-easily, David, trust me.

It's kind of unsettling.

- Okay. - But I assure you,

once we've signed the papers I will look forward

to working very close with you to make sure

our baby is healthy and gets conceived.

Thank you.

Gosh, I'm extra excited. Aren't you?

Well, I think we're all very excited.

- Are you finished with your eggs? - I'm done, thank you.

When I saw the built-ins, I fell totally in love,

and I put my name on the list. The owner calls me

yesterday morning, he said I could have the place.

But then he called back an hour later and said

he wasn't renting it, he was gonna sell it.

Oh, that's so annoying.

Whatever, I'll find a place, I guess.

- It's all good. - Time's up.

Oh, I was just finding my rhythm.

Next week we start our capelets,

so pick out some colorful stuff and get ready.

And remember your class fees include

unlimited knitting circle time,

so feel free to drop in whenever.

See you next time. Ciao-ciao, Victoria.

Ciao.

Suddenly one "ciao" was not enough.

She says everything twice.

So...

Give us the George report.

Well, this week has not been a cakewalk

you don't know what a relief it was

to walk in here and sit down.

What happened?

Oh, he started another round of electroshock,

because George and Maggie think it helps.

But the days after the treatments are

such a challenge for me.

He comes home so scattered. It's like dealing with a sleepwalker.

I don't know where you find the strength to deal with it.

Clearly, I don't either.

Have you signed up for next week's class?

I haven't yet, no.

Oh, Ruth, you must. You're the only version of my mother

- I can talk to. - I'll try and make it.

It's all good, right?

Yeah, it is.

Well, I have errands to run,

and Maggie's waiting.

Bye.

Lila was the most active person I ever met in my life.

I mean, I try to stay busy

with bridge and the angels.

I'm a big angel fan.

- I can see that. - But Lila,

she was a runaway train!

It's so hard to believe that she won't be outside

messing around with her flowers when I get home.

Are you sure she never married or had any children?

Oh, she was going to,

but her Beau died very young.

After that she ran a resort

up in Ojai all on her own.

There were families that came there every year,

and then their kids would come

and their kids would come

and they all kept up with her.

No one in the neighborhood

got more Christmas cards or visits than Lila.

- Sounds like a good life. - It was.

Today would have been her 95th birthday.

Hmm.

What?

Well, today is his birthday too.

Oh, how old are you?

- I'm 40. - Oh, you don't look that old.

Thank you.

- Are you doing something special? - Not today,

but my wife and daughter are gonna take me

up to big sur next weekend.

Oh. Big sur.

It's so beautiful up there.

So stunning!

I suppose I'll be gone soon too.

- Oh... - I will.

That's okay.

It happens.

Couldn't you say, "Roger, my partner and I"

plan to spend the morning together, I can't pick up

- your cat at the vet"? - David, let it go.

Why can't he get one of his Abercrombie & Fitch

party boys to do something like this?

You're a bodyguard,

and I'd like to get to work at some point today.

Do you like your new plasma TV?

I do.

Then let it go.

That cat stinks.

Keith Charles!

- And you must be David! - Yes.

Sissy pasquese.

Come on in. Roger's making kir royales.

- Sister? - I don't know.

- The kids are almost ready. - Kids? Ex-wife?

- I don't know! - How could you not know?

David, we're married,

Roger's gay, and I'm fine with it.

But we keep it quiet, because we're very private people.

Thank you.

- That's all I needed. - Honey, guess who's here.

Hello. Mr. Diaz?

Yes, who is this?

Agnes, I work for the Campbells.

Julio came home with Lucas after school.

Oh. Yeah?

Well, he kind of needs to be picked up.

Oh, okay, my wife Vanessa

should be there in a little bit, I think.

No, we called her like 10 times,

and she's not answering her phone or something,

and the Campbells left for arrowhead like an hour ago.
