I Iove taking baths.
Especially with you.
It's like taking a vacation
from the worId.

I hated taking baths when I was a kid.

Of course, back then, the onIy thing
I had to pIay with was my rubber ducky.

Who's that?

It's Mr. SoIis.

ReIax. CarIos is at work
and he doesn't ring the doorbell.

It's the cabIe guy.
He's three hours Iate.

Use the side entrance.

Gabrielle knew her vacation
from the world had ended,

What she didn't know was
John had left behind a souvenir,

Dad didn't come home Iast night.

- They had a fight. A bad one.
- How bad?

Like divorce court bad.

Listen to her. She aIways
overcompensates when she's worried.

If Dad moves out and Ieaves us
with her, I'll Iose my mind.

Dinner is on the tabIe.

Mom, where did Dad go Iast night?

He got a Iast minute call to speak at
a medicaI conference in PhiIadeIphia.

Take your seats.

This marriage is so over.

Andrew?

Sorry I was Iate.
The scheduIer overbooked me.

- How Iong are you going to be?
- AImost done.

What is that scent? Is that sage
and citrus? That's amazing.

Try to hurry. I have stuff to do.

Come on.

What's happening?

The cabIe guy fell. He hit his head
on the tub. He may have a concussion.

- It's aImost eight.
- He was Iate.

- Mrs. Huber.
- Hello, Susan. I made you a pie.

Oh, wow! Why?

Do I need a motive
to do something nice?

I can't wait for you
to try this. It's mincemeat.

- Actually, I just had dinner.
- That's OK. You can save it for Iater.

What's so funny?

I was just thinking of that expression,
“I'll make mincemeat out of you”.

Mincemeat used to be
an entree of mostIy chopped meat,

so it was like saying,

“I'll chop you up into IittIe bits.”
But that was centuries ago.

Today, mincemeat is mostIy made
of fruit, spices and rum.

There's no meat in it and still peopIe
say, “I'll make mincemeat out of you.”

- PeopIe don't really say that anymore.
- I do.

- So, Susan, how are you?
- I'm fine.

Good. You know,
I have a confession to make.

I wish I'd been more
supportive when KarI Ieft you.

Oh, you don't have to apoIogize about
KarI. Really, KarI and I are over.

- I've moved on.
- I know.

You've moved on to that nice Mike
DeIfino. He's quite a catch, isn't he?

- You like him, don't you?
- Ah, sure, as a friend.

Oh, Susan.

Being coy is a strategy best empIoyed
by virgins at their first dance.

For women of our age,
it's just annoying.

- You sure you don't want pie?
- No, thank you.

I hope it works out with you and Mike.
You've been so desperate to Iand him.

What? I am not desperate.

Good Iord, Susan,
you burned your rivaI's house down.

If that isn't desperate,
I don't know what is.
