Yes.

A spa day.

Or... we could do a colonic.

Come on, it'll be fun.

- Will it be?
- Yeah.

They jet asparagus juice

And it's not just about
cleansing your body;

it's also very good
for short-term memory.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, uh, hi.

Here you go.

Oh, bless your heart.
I've been looking everywhere.

- Where did you find it?
- Uh, on the subway.

Oh, darling, you brought it

Will you like a...
a cup of coffee?

It's already on the pot.

It-it would mean a lot to me.

- You've been so kind.

Yeah, sure. Why not?

You can put your umbrella here.

Okay. Thank you.

Are you from New York?

Uh, no, I'm actually

Thank you.

- No, my roommate from Smith.

My husband.

Liszt was his favorite.

Then he began
fluffing the notes.

His left hand.

He thought it was arthritis.

Six months later, he was gone.

They are with you,
and then they are gone.

The ones we love.

"Liebestraum."
Do you know what it means?

A dream of love.

Because that's all
love leaves us with.

A dream. A memory.

(SIGHS)

I'm sorry.

It's my only company
these days.

Is that your dog?

Oh, yes. Jojo.

Long gone as well.

Well, have you considered
getting another?

Oh, no, I couldn't.

(CHUCKLING):
I wouldn't know how to choose.

Well, I could help you.
If you wanted.

- Are you a dog person?
- A little bit.

My mom actually
used to breed them.

Thank you, sweetheart,

but I don't think
I could manage a dog right now.

I hope you are not offended.

Not at all.

But if you change your mind,
just, uh, let me know.

Do I have your phone number?

No. (LAUGHS)

how to work these things.

Here, let me help you.

Hey.

GRETA: Sorry to bother you,
sweetheart.

Am I calling at a bad time?

No, no, not at all.
How are you?

I've been thinking about

what you said
about the dog, and...

I thought, if you wouldn't
mind coming, it...

it might not be
such a bad idea after all.

Yeah, of course.

When, uh...
when do you want to go?

GRETA:
Saturday morning?

Is 10:00 too early?

Uh, no, 10:00's fine.
I'll see you then.

Did I just snort crystal meth,

or did you just offer to go
dog shopping with an old lady?

I know.

This city is gonna
eat you alive.

(CHUCKLES)

GRETA:
So, how long

- do you keep them here?
- (DOGS BARKING)

- Five days.
- And then?

If nobody claims their dogs,
they're PTS.

- PTS?
- Put to sleep.

Oh. What a dreadful euphemism.

And so, which of these
is next for the...

PTS treatment?

Um...

This is Morton.

Today is Morton's last day.

GRETA:
Oh.

- May I come in?
- Mm-hmm.

Come on.

Come on, Morton.

Greta to have dinner.

Seriously?

Yeah, well, unfortunately,
it's not that easy,

especially if
they don't want to go.

And do you want to know

What's the kicker?

The crazier they are,
the harder they cling.

Don't tell me that.

Then I also won't tell you

Goddamn it, why didn't I just
listen to you?

You never do.

Well, from now on,
I swear to God,

I'll do whatever
you tell me to do.

There's somebody
asking for you.

- Who?
- A woman.

Oh, my God, Erica,
I think she's here.

- Shit.
- I'll call you later.

Can you get rid of her?

I tried.
She said she needed to see you.

I don't want to talk to her.

Just get rid of her.

And I don't want a scene.

Um... yeah.

You called me about Nicola?

I'm Alexa.

Alexa Hammond.

Do you want to...?

Nicola Hideg is dead.

She killed herself
four years ago.

Uh, I knew her from A.A.

I was her addiction counselor,

and then her partner
for six years.

- But, uh, I could nev...
- Um...

I-I'm sorry, but...

what about Paris?

- Paris?
- Yeah.

Greta said that she studied at
the... the conservatory there.

Nicola had never been
to France.

Listen, that whole
French shtick of Greta's

is an affectation, all right?

She's from Hungary.

You know, Greta...

she still pretends
to talk to her.

On the phone.

She's a very ill woman.

So, Nicola never studied
the piano or anything?

She used to play
till her knuckles bled.

You can't save people.

You know, I couldn't
save her from...

whatever it was
that had been done to her.

You know, maybe she just
couldn't survive the box.

The box?

I used to think
it was a metaphor.

You know, the box
in which she was confined

as a child or whatever.

But I came to realize
before the end...

...that maybe I was wrong.
