00:00Hi. I'm the narrator.

00:02I'm here to provide facts about Ella McKay.

00:05I've worked for her ever since she finished law school,

00:08so I'm not exactly neutral.

00:11I'm nuts about her.

00:13This is how it started.

00:15Aunt Helen, I have a ridiculously serious problem,

00:18and you're the only one I can tell.

00:20I'm about to add to your problems, Ella.

00:22Your father's here.

00:24Why?

00:25We haven't seen each other.

00:27How long?

00:28You don't know either?

00:29Eddie, you promised not to be yourself.

00:32I'm a different person now.

00:33I met an incredible woman.

00:36Oh!

00:37No, no, no!

00:38The way I've never in my life felt this way about any other woman.

00:41Jesus, Eddie!

00:43Oh, I wasn't counting your mother.

00:46She's in a completely different category.

00:48And let me just say that you are truly blessed

00:51if you have never experienced other people's normal,

00:54happy families as a small stab in the heart.

00:58You're 34.

01:01You just became governor of the state you were born and raised in.

01:06Are you thinking about your mom?

01:08Yeah.

01:09Me too.

01:11Ella, your father, your brother, and your husband.

01:14Where is she?

01:15Can I tell her what it's about?

01:16It's about how she ruined everything!

01:18Alright, I'll tell her that!

01:20There's a ticking time bomb in your life.

01:23You didn't want me big sistering.

01:25But what happened to that great girl?

01:27Susan, would you be my girlfriend?

01:29A lot of time has passed, and we've been with other people...

01:32or not.

01:36You can use a scream.

01:37Scream!

01:38Alright.

01:40No.

01:41No, I might not be able to stop.

01:43It's too bad I was gonna join you.

01:44Hi, Ella here.

01:45Hi.

01:46I'm Helen McKay.

01:47Please excuse the way I talk or act.

01:48Families, huh?

01:49Absolutely.

01:50I'm really angry.

01:51That's what not screaming will get you.

01:52Hm?

01:53So, listen, Ella.

01:54You have something...

01:55Well, we should do that every afternoon.
