Brothers & Sisters S2E16

"Prior Commitments"
Scotty: Nora, thank you for everything.
Nora: No, I should be thanking you for making Kevin so happy. And I get another son.

I love Scotty's facial expression when he answers to Nora saying "Okay". The way of expression of Nora is quite good. Actually for me, Nora is always troublesome though, this time she pretty lovely for me. And same time, if you think of what happen to Kevin's visitation of Scotty's folks, you can easily guess Scotty's circumstance as a gay son wasn't happy enough for him, but now he gets a much better understanding mother in low.
And at the wedding, of course the kiss scene is the best, I can't believe they have forgotten to bring rings though. They hold hands each other, face each other, then lean in, and kiss. Also I like the scene where Sarah is in tears. It's a beautiful brother & sister's love.
Then they go back to their flat.

Scotty: Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Kevin: What?
Scotty: Who's gonna carry who across the threshold?
Kevin: We don't have to do that, do we?
Scotty: Oh, if that's the way you feel about it.
Kevin: No, no, no.
Scotty: Oh God, you're heavy!
Kevin: Well, you're not gonna take me all the way to the bedroom?
Scotty: It's funny. It's our first time home as a married couple, and suddenly, I'm not in the mood.
Kevin: Yeah, Tommy warned me that would happen.

Brothers & Sisters S2E15

"Moral Hazard"

I like this scene. As it happened at YouTube, I don't know how long this clip can be seen in Blogger though, I would like to put this clip here.

This isn't appropriate probably to write here though, when they muted with my clip at YouTube I was very shocked. Because I got something like that with other clips but they were a sort of no conversations. But this time all of conversation is covered with her song, so I was very sad. Also I don't know what kind of rules they have, most of other more popular clips still have their sounds. How should I know why mine was the first one that should be muted? I know copyrights, but still I don't get it, why mine?

Brothers & Sisters S2E15

"Moral Hazard"

This clip will be audio muted soon. Unfortunately there is no way to solve the problem.

Actually it's only proposal scene. But anyone who likes Scotty & Kevin love this part. I want to be asked by Luke to marry him!!!!! That's very lovely and touching scene. I'll never forget this scene.

When I watched this scene, I don't know why, but I was very concerned about Luke's hand. He put his right hand beside his face, then on the couch, next is beside his face... It bothered me first.
Anyway, same as other people who loves them, I watched this clip many times. I love this scene though somehow Luke's hand still pulls my attention.

Also I love their lines.

Kevin: And I realise how lucky I am because I get to come home to someone who's kind and caring, and who changes the light bulbs, and..... Marry me.
Scotty: What?
Kevin: I mean it. I don't wanna wait. I don't wanna... I wanna make this official.
Scotty: Because I changed the light bulbs?
Kevin: No, no, well, yeah, kind of. Because, Scotty, that's who you are. I'm completely, completely in love with you. I even love the things about you that I hate. Because you make me feel like I don't have to be anyone other than who I am. And to me, that feels like family. And that's what I want us to be. I want us to be a family because that never ends. I'm doing this all wrong, Scotty, I am asking you, will you please marry me?
Scotty: Yes. Yes, Kevin, I will marry you.
And the song, Warm Whispers by Missy Higgins matches to this scene quite well.

Out in Hollywood 29/Apr/'08

An article from Out in Hollywood.
A chat w/Luke MacFarlane...
By Greg Hernandez on April 29, 2008 8:50 AM


He had them at mango salsa.

When Luke MacFarlane's endearing character of Scotty sat down to dinner for the first time with the Walker clan on "Brothers & Sisters," it was a big outdoor party scene where Sally Field's Nora had just humiliated her late husband's mistress Holly (Patricia Wettig). The tension was incredibly high until Scotty piped up and asked, "Is this salsa mango?"

Scotty Wandell and Kevin Walker (Matthew Rhys) had instant chemistry from the minute the financially struggling waiter-turned-chef walked into his law office on a legal matter. He cut through Kevin's veneer with quirky humor and charm and you knew he had Kevin's heart when he bit into a red velvet cupcake and smiled at the end of one of their early episodes..

"My whole experience on the show started off as just a few episodes and it's just become more and more and more and I'm so grateful for that," Luke told me Monday night when we chatted before the start of the "A Conversation With Brothers & Sisters" event at the Television Academy in North Hollywood.

Luke, 28, was among the 12 cast members who participated as he was recently promoted from recurring character to full-fledged series regular: "They are making a regular for season three. It's very, very nice. We all know in television it's hard to get a gig that lasts for a long time so when the agent calls up and says, 'You're guaranteed these number of episodes you feel very, very lucky."

Luke, who studied drama at Julliard, was previously best-known for his role as Pvt. Frank "Dim" Dumphy in the series "Over There." The Canadian actor had never given any interviews about his personal life until discussing his sexuality for the first time in an interview with the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail a few weeks ago 2008. He decided to share that not only is he playing a gay man on TV, but he is a gay man in life.

""It's been relatively simple for me," he said of the increased spotlight. "I'll say that I decided to do that interview, I decided to answer those questions in an effort to make my life simpler and that's going to contunue to be my motto. So, I'll have to say, it hasn't been that hot a light on me at all."

Even though through much of show's first season the writers had Kevin struggling with commitment issues and go on to have relationships with a closeted soap actor (Jason Lewis) and a minister (Eric Winter), Scotty had been a fan favorite from his first scene and audiences wanted to see he and Kevin together.

Said Luke: "Well, I do know that the fans had a lot to do with Scotty staying around as long as he has so I'm grateful for them."

I mention to him that now that Scotty is getting more airtime, the fans now want to get to know Luke himself a little better. He laughed a bit nervously and said, "In time."

We look forward to it.

Brothers & Sisters S2E14

" Double Negative"

Again, why Kevin always thinks something by only his side? I know Kevin doesn't mean such selfish things but it looks like he doesn't respect Scotty's feeling, I guess. But this time, Scotty mentions it's his problem not Kevin's. I like his way of thinking.

Kevin: Look, I think I figured out a way to solve your problems.
Scotty: Um, you're gonna teach me to deveine shrimp with one hand?
Kevin: Your insurence problems.
Scotty: If it involves me not having to take a third job, I'm all for it.
Kevin: Why don't we file for domestic partnership?
Scotty: Excuse me?
Kevin: It's so simple. All we have to do is fill out some forms, get them notarized, and that is that. We're then recognised as a couple by the state of California. And that entitles you to insurance from my firm. That's medical, dental, vision, dependent life, accidental death and dismemberment....
Scotty: Death and dismemberment? Yippee!
Kevin: What's with the sarcasm?
Scotty: Nothing. I said I was gonna take care of it and I will, okay, Kevin? It's my problem. Not yours.

And they come back to Kevin's flat. Then they have a cute conversation again.

Kevin: I thought I was doing a good thing.
Scotty: You were doing a practical thing.
Kevin: Well, what's wrong with that?
Scotty: Kevin, for us, domestic partnership is it. You know, our only legal option, our version of marriage. For now at least. And at the risk of sounding like a twelve-year-old girl, I want my wedding to be special. “Practical” isn't enough of a reason.
.
.
Kevin: It is romantic. But at the risk of sounding like a thirty-something straight guy. I don't know if I'm ready for that or if I ever will be.
Scotty: I'm not asking you to be.

And also my favourite line, Scotty says "We're boyfriends, not clones"

Kinsey (2004)

Bruce Kinsey
Oh, Luke. He appears less than one minutes. Actually the main reason that I watched this film is to see Luke Macfarlane as Bruce Kinsey though, and he has only a few lines. In the deleted scene, he swims.
