Dialogue about Relationships and Counseling

George. George. George! Andrew, what are you doing? Andrew!

Andrew! What are you, are you crazy? Stop it! Knock it off. Oh.

Did you see him? He was kissing her. Oh my God, you're bleeding. That freak was kissing her. I don't care. You gotta calm down now. George, you're a very special friend, you are,

but Rex hasn't been dead four weeks, so I think kissing on the lips is- Further than you wanna go. Exactly. I hope you don't mind. Andrew, what are you doing?

Taking out the garbage. Of course. Uh, you remember Mr. Williams? Hi, Andrew. George. Uh, well, it's getting late, so-

So let me know if you wanna go out to dinner again soon. There's a couple new restaurants I'd like to try. You know, we've been eating out a lot lately. Why don't you come over Friday for a home-cooked meal? Wouldn't that be nice? Oh, I would love that.

So are you leaving or what? We're not done talking. She said it was getting late. In case you missed that, that was a hint. Andrew, that wasn't a hint.

I'll go when I'm ready. Actually, it, it is getting late, and I am tired, so- See? You're the lady now. Take off. Andrew. Oh, it's okay. He knows I would never hit a child.

Andrew. George! Stop it, the two of you, this instant. I will not tolerate this kind of behavior. Do you understand? We'll see you Friday for dinner.

Andrew, you are not leaving the house dressed like that. I, I'm just going to meet some of the guys at the swim club. I don't care. Put this on.

Every time you leave this house, you represent this family, and the least you can do is not humiliate us. A ripped T-shirt is just a look. Yes, a bad one. I hope you haven't made plans for tomorrow

night. Look, if you think I'm having dinner with the pharmacist, you're crazy. Wait till people see that you're dating the town nerd less than a month after your

husband's funeral. I'll be serving dinner tomorrow night at 7:00. Please don't be late. I'm sorry, but I already have plans. Andrew, don't you have a meet at the swim club? Yeah. So?

Doesn't it require a large entrance fee, one that you can't afford by yourself? Are you blackmailing me into coming to dinner? Oh, you don't know the lengths I'd go to for even seating.

So I lean out way over the rail to get the shot. Next thing I know, the police arrive. People had called 911 from their cell phones. Thought I was suicidal. I can't believe how well those two are getting along. Yeah, it's freaky.

He's even laughing at George's jokes. That's why it's freaky. George's jokes aren't funny. So George, can I ask you a question? Uh, it's kinda personal. Sure. Have you ever actually been with a woman?

Excuse me? Let's be honest. I think it's obvious by the way that you talk and act that you're not a player. So I was just curious to find out if you had ever actually gotten in

the game. My experience with women is none of your business. I mean, you're dating my mom, and we both know that at your age, dating's a little more than just holding hands.

We're not dating, exactly. My parents had a great sex life. Yeah, I heard them through the wall in my bedroom once. Please shut up. She had this, this weird moan. It was kind of like, um,

"Mm. Uh." Isn't that bizarre? That's the sound my mom makes when she climaxes. Sorry, one of the dessert plates doesn't match.

I tried to replace it, but it's Spode Florence. It's a rare pattern. It belonged to my grandmother, but hopefully once you taste the dessert, you'll forget all about it.

I'm not hungry. George, you have to have this. It's absolutely scrumptious. Mm. Go to your room! George.

You heard me. Go to your room. Mr. Williams, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Bree, please back me up. Well, what did he say?

I can't say. It's too sordid, but he said it. George, I can't allow you to discipline my child if you won't even tell me what he did. George. George!

Why can't we see each other anymore? Ever since I found out what Andrew said to you, I've been doing some soul-searching, and I realize that everything that's happened is completely my fault.

No, no, no. That, that's ridiculous. No, it's not. All the things that Andrew's been saying and the way he's been acting, it's all connected to his father's death, and it's clear to me that I need

to spend more time focusing on him and his needs. You're right. You do need to focus on Andrew. Thank you, George, for being so understanding. Of course. So have you thought about counseling?

That place you sent him to, that behavioral modification camp, he got counseling there, right? But I only sent him there because his behavior at the time was so completely out of bounds.

You don't think that what he said to me was out of bounds? I, I just think if I spend a lot of time with him, it'll really help. Why not do both? Let him spend a few months with some caring professionals, and

then bring him home. That camp, it's extreme, and I mean, unless I felt like Andrew was getting really out of control, then- Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that. You know, in spite of everything that's happened,

I really like Andrew. Oh, George, really? Yeah. He reminds me of me.
