[chair scrapes]

[utensils scraping]

So, how're you feeling?

I feel great.

Are you sleeping okay?

Yes...

Good. Good, good.

[stammers and laughs]

What does it concern you how I sleep?

[man chuckles]

So...

[sighs]

-Steve. -[moans]

Steve!

-Sorry. -It's okay.

Steve. Of course.

What do you do?

Uh...

-Well, I'm an architect. -An architect! That's great.

In a destructive world,

the ability to build things is a very important gift.

[Steve] Mm.

My father builds homes. He's a carpenter.

Maybe you'll meet him someday.

-I'd like that. -Mm.

[utensils scraping]

So, after lunch, uh, we're going to go...

A surprise.

[chuckles]

Yeah, uh, a surprise.

Uh, we're going to both, uh...

Don't tell me! You'll ruin it.

Right.

Don't you like your food?

-It's my signature sandwich. -[Steve stammers]

It's great. I'm, uh, savoring it.

Mm.

So...

uh, are you seeing anybody special?

I would consider my wife fairly special.

Oh.

Oh, well, doesn't matter.

I'm married, too.

Oh.

Seymour?

Yes!

Do you know him?

We've met.

Oh. [sighs]

I didn't realize.

So, what are you working on now?

Oh, uh...

I am building a house that generates its own energy.

It's called sustainable architecture.

We use wind and solar energy to power the building.

Wow!

Sounds Godlike, harvesting the elements.

I'm more of a demigod, I guess.

Mortal...

...and...

...demigod.

How will we get along?

Okay, well, uh, it's time to go.

Oh.

-I'll take this. -Okay.

You won't need anything else.

[Steve] Okay. Here we are.

I'll get the...

Okay...

Okay.

I'll put this over here.

Okay.

[distant phone rings]

[Steve sighs]

[distant chatter]

All right, why don't you wait here and I'll go check in.

[chatter continues]

[bell dings]

[chatter continues]

-I'm just going to look it over. -Sure.

Vanessa, come to the front, please.

-Everything's the same? -Yes.

[papers rustling]

[pen scribbling]

[indistinct chatter]

-Hi. -Hi.

I'm Steve Goldman.

Pleasure. Vanessa.

So I brought her.

Everything went fairly smoothly.

[Vanessa] That's good.

Well, we've got her room all set up and it looks great.

I think you should just know that

we've got it from here, okay?

Great, I appreciate that.

[footsteps approaching]

[Steve] Mom, this is Vanessa.

Hi, Ruth.

It's great to meet you.

Mom?

Welcome to Bella Vista.

I'm going to show you around and get you settled in.

You're going to be staying here now, Mom.

Mom?

Yes.

You are my mom.

No.

No, I didn't want kids. I'm not a mother.

It-- It's okay, Mom.

You don't have to have any more kids.

I'm all grown up now.

Look, I know this is difficult. Um...

Maybe we can just go and see your room.

Uh, Vanessa will take us there.

I don't know if you remember this,

but we've been here before, Mom.

We came on a tour.

You said you wanted to be here if you needed extra care.

You chose this place.

Don't stay.

Mom, please...

Don't be a witness!

I just want to know that you're going to be okay.

No, darling, don't be like that.

How do you want me to be?

I would like you to be unconcerned.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm gonna go.

I love you, Mom.

I'll see you soon.

[door opens]

[distant traffic]

Ready?

Ready.

[elevator whirring]

[elevator beeps]

We're almost there.

Your room-- Your room's right down this way.

[woman] Mom?

Mom?

Hi, how you doing?

I'm going to help you to get dressed for the day.

Here I come. Are you ready to get dressed?

[Vanessa clears throat]

[woman] There you go.

Here we are.

This is...

...you.

Here we are.

-[Vanessa sighs] -[door squeaks]

Can I help you unpack your suitcase?

I can do that, thanks.

Okay.

Is he coming back?

Steve?

That man.

I'm sure he'll be back soon.

But you don't know when.

I'm not sure when exactly

but I know it'll be soon.

[Vanessa sighs]

How about we find some places to put your belongings?

We're just going to take this step by step, okay?

-Where shall we put these? -Excuse me!

[Ruth sighs]

May I please have a moment alone?

I-I appreciate your help,

but I'm not one of those elderly people

you have to watch constantly.

Of course.

I know you're not.

I'll be right outside

whenever you're ready.

[both speaking indistinctly]

[laughter]

Excuse me.

I don't want to bother you, but could I look at a menu?

[woman] We'll be right with you, sweetie.

If you could just hang tight a moment longer, okay?

Did you hear what happened to Ana at Mar Vista?

[Vanessa] No, what happened?

[woman] They fired her.

One of the residents on her floor got out.

[Vanessa] No, seriously?

[woman] Yeah.

-[utensils clinking] -[indistinct chatter]

-What's this? -These are your pills.

They should help you feel better.

I feel fine.

Oh. Well, good for you.

I don't want to take anything I don't need.

[Vanessa sighs]

Blood thinner, so you don't get any blood clots.

This is for high cholesterol.

Multivitamin.

Calcium support to keep strong bones.

And this...

is to help with memory loss.

It's also a multivitamin.

-Placebo. -[laughs]

Come on. Help me out here.

-They won't kill you. -[laughs]

[pills rattle]

[exhales]

Thank you.

[sniffs]

-[utensils clinking] -[indistinct chatter]

Well, thanks for the eggs, but I didn't order them.

That's not how this works.

How does it work?

It's not a restaurant. That's downstairs only.

But if you want something special,

I can make you something. Anytime you want.

Then what is it?

It's the dining room.

Here you go, sweetie.

Snack Clip

Excuse me.

[door clattering]

Excuse me!

You have a chip clip in your hair.

So?

It's for preserving chips.

Why are we discussing potato chips?

[Ruth sighs]

[water dripping]

[distant footsteps]

Great.

Thank you, Ruth. Now...

Do you know the recipe for Borscht?

-Uh, no, I don't believe I do-- -You take potatoes and beets

thinly sliced, very thinly sliced.

You boil them in water until they're tender.

You save the water.

Meanwhile, you take two yellow onions

you chop them, you start cooking them in butter.

When they start to sizzle,

you put in a pinch of caraway seed.

Just a pinch, right?

And some salt, of course.

-Okay? -Okay.

When you can see through the onions,

you put in one carrot, one stick of celery,

half a head of let--

[stammers] ...of cabbage.

-Thinly chopped. -Mm-hmm.

You put that water that you saved

from the potatoes and the beets

over those vegetables.

You... boil them until those are tender.

Then you add the potatoes and the beets.

Now you're going to want to put in stewed tomatoes

and-- and vinegar.

Most people use apple cider,

but I like to mix in red wine and balsamic for taste.

Then there's black pepper, honey, fresh dill.

You want to save some of that fresh dill

to put on the top later.

You put a top over that. You simmer that for 30 minutes.

You taste, adjust, taste, adjust.

You put a little bit of sour cream on the top,

and there's your borscht.

Thank you for that.

Thank you, Ruth.

Now, could somebody who had, uh, you know what

have told you that borscht recipe?

Oh, Ruth, no, you don't... You know, you don't have to--

Aren't you going to write it down in your book?

I'm writing it down.

I can tell you anything else you wanna know.

Mm-hmm.

My name is Ruth Goldman.

I was born in Brooklyn, New York

to Harry Fox and Dvorah Kurtzman

on 6 March 1937.

My house is at 1356 Flatbush Avenue,

Brooklyn, New York.

Anything else?

-[ragged breathing] -Thank you. Thank you, Ruth.

[gasping]

You get a perfect score, okay?

That was great.

[Ruth sighs, sniffs]

Now...

-...who the hell are you? -[Brian chuckles]

[vacuum whirring]

[elevator dings]

[overlapping chatter in distance]

[wheels rattling]

[man, in Spanish] I hope you know that we are coming.

Soon.

Yes, soon.

We're going to arrive in two months, okay?

No, soon.

Two months, okay?

[in English] Yes, Mom. Okay.

[in Spanish] Don't worry, all will be well.

Yes, Mom.

CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES: ANOTHER RECORD YEAR?

"The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection,

Cal Fire,

dubbed 2018 the deadliest and most destructive wildfire season

on record in California,

with a total of over 7,500 fires

burning an area of over 1,670,000 acres.

Records are made to be broken, though.

Ranchers and homeowners,

particularly in the northern part of the state

and the central coast

are wasting no time in preparing for possible--"

Donna? Is that you?

No.

I'm not Donna.

Why don't you take over reading?

Okay.

That's the place.

"They are wasting no time

in preparing for possible evacuation orders this year,

as drought conditions persist.

Many of them live in wilderness areas,

where the danger is greatest,

and the evacuation routes are few and far between.

I'm ready.

My children are ready.

My horses are ready

and my dog is ready too."

[woman] ...from a family called phalaenopsis.

And it's the easiest orchid to grow

and it's about the only one that grows in Manhattan.

You never touch an orchid plant flower

because the oil of your hand

shortens the life of the flower.

There's a great... There are Bibles of orchid plants,

and even when I gave up my greenhouse,

I kept my orchid books.

[utensils clattering]

[clatter continues]

You wait until you're 16 years old, and you go to the prom

before a woman can indulge in wearing an orchid flower.

But if I have hundreds of them at my disposal,

she doesn't want them, she has them already.

I slept in a little bit and...

Oh, y-you're new on the line, right?

That's okay.

Let me show you how to do it.

There's a smoother way of cutting.

Hi. I'm Rudy, the cook here.

D-Did you replace Max?

Yeah, I did. A few days ago.

Well...

Welcome! Congratulations.

Thank you. It's good to be here.

I'm Ruth. Pantry.

-Where do you want me? -Um...

Let's...

Let's have you take over fruit salad.

I'll have Randall help me with some other stuff.

Okay.

[humming]

[Randall whispers] Do you want me to call Nursing?

[Rudy] It's okay. I just paged Vanessa.

[hums]

[humming]

[Vanessa] Good morning.

What are you doing in here, Ruth?

Ruth was just giving me a hand with breakfast.

-What have you got there? -Textbooks.

I've got some exams coming up.

You sit right down there and study.

I'll bring your breakfast in a minute.

[hums]

[soft clattering]

-Here you go! -Mmm.

-Brain food! -[Vanessa laughs]

Oh.

You take your time eating that,

and I will make sure nobody bothers you, okay?

Thank you, Ruth.

[tray rattling]

Here you go.

[soft chatter]

And for you.

[muted chatter continues]

[Vanessa] How's it looking out there?

[Ruth] Not bad.

-[door creaks] -[chuckles]

-Hey. Vanessa, we need you. -Oh.

-Yeah. -[Ruth] No!

No, no, no.

Don't interrupt her.

She's working on a very important exam.

Ruth, I'm her supervisor. I'm allowed to interrupt her.

Not in my kitchen.

You can sit down right there...

...and eat what I bring you,

but do not speak to her. Understand?

[Brian] Got it.

[static, woman on radio] Vanessa to room 305.

Ruth, I appreciate it,

but I really should get back out there.

Here. Oh.

Thanks. It was a delicious meal.

[chuckles]

So, how'd you become a chef?

I'm a cook. Not a chef.

So how did you become a cook?

I grew up in my bubbe's kitchen in Brooklyn.

Both my parents worked.

She watched me.

Meanwhile, I watched her and I learned.

You're not eating.

Mmm.

You know I did my fair share

of growing up in my grandma's kitchen too.

Huh.

"Huh" what?

Well... she appears to have done a good job.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[waves pounding]

[Brian] Ah, I only know that John is the one to help today.

I only know that John is the one to help today.

[Brian] Very good.

Very good.

And now,

Thank you, and if you can loosen it up just a bit.

Okay.

[indistinct chatter]

[man chuckles]

[Vanessa] ...and it always kind of reminds me of my mom, you know?

Like...

...I just get a little glimpse

and then she's in the room with me, you know?

How's your mom?

-[Brian] She's all right. -Mmm.

Still taking care of my grandma, you know,

Doesn't want a geriatric country club like this.

He is very active in the Civil Rights protests.

Uh, you know, I think I'm... I'm good.

Oh, here, I got you.

-I've got it from here. -Okay! Go get 'em.

[announcer] Thank you for coming, everyone

for our speed dating evening.

It's time to find a seat,

so get where you want to be.

Hello, Ruth.

Hi.

First time, right?

-Do you know the rules? -What rules?

Only date men from floors one, two and four.

And stay away from our floor.

I don't play for real because I'm married.

But this is my recommendation to you.

What's on our floor?

We're floor three, or Memory Lane, as it's popularly known.

A memory care unit.

Okay, everybody! who's ready to go on a date?

-[cheering] -All right.

Well...what about twenty dates?

[cheering]

[announcer] Who's ready to fall in love?

[cheering]

[announcer] All right, so, here we are again.

Welcome to Bella Vista's fifth annual Valentine's Day Speed-Dating.

Each of you will look at the first...

-When's the next meeting? -[Vanessa] Friday.

They arrived just in time for the union drive.

-Why didn't you tell me why I'm here? -I--

I still have a right to the truth.

Yes, you do, it's just... [sighs]

...your truth and ours are just a little different.

And that's okay.

-I trusted you! -Yes, and I trusted you!

And you running away puts me in a very difficult position.

You could have gotten me fired. Bella Vista pays for my school!

Vanessa, I don't think that--

No, no, no. She wants-- She wants to know the truth.

Sure, but I don't think--

No. She's right.

-I'm sorry, Vanessa. -[Vanessa sighs]

I didn't realize.

No, it's...

I'm so sorry.

It's okay, it's okay, Ruth, I...

I know you didn't mean to.

I know.

I'll live here for the rest of my life?

[sighs] Yes.

[sighs]

-[Brian] Hey, where are you going, Ruth? -Home.

[Vanessa] You are home.

Can we take you to your room?

[chuckles]

[speaking Yiddish]

Hmm.

[birds tweeting]

[airplane whirring in distance]

So, it's going to be everything in here.

You can leave this alone, I'll handle it later.

Excuse me.

Uh, and then as far as the hallway closets go,

just box everything up and label it.

It doesn't have to be super specific.

It should say "hallway closets" and...

You don't have to inventory it. Just box it.

Okay.

[inhales, sighs]

And everything in here, and that'll do it.

-I'll be in here if you need me. -Cool.

Thank you.

Do you think it'll be all right if I borrow this one?

You can take it if you want it.

God, I bet grandma was a babe!

Yeah, I guess she was.

[men clumping in distance]

You know, you look just like her.

[inhales] I'm gonna keep it.

-Good choice. -[chuckles]

It suits you.

Would you like some cake?

Oh, no. You-You enjoy yours.

No, I don't want it.

I'd hate to lose my figure

over the birthday of some schmucks I barely know.

[chuckles]

-It's store-bought! -Oh no.

-[sighs] -What brings you here?

-I heard there was some store-bought cake. -[both laugh]

Actually, I brought something for you.

-My books! -Yeah.

Where did you get them?

I stopped at your house.

You did?

Yeah.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

[record starts]

Pearl?

I thought you'd never ask! [laughs]
