Happy to tell you again.

-You're good? -Yeah.

Great. So you, uh... Um, I've... You...

-Are you living here now or are you...? -Oh, no, no. I'm...

I'm-- I'm here to see my sister.

-Okay. Yeah. -You remember, I'm sure. Yeah.

-Lisa-Lisa. -Yeah.

-Getting... Cooking, just... -Mm-hmm.

Some grated ginger and capers and...

ice cream.

- I didn't brush my teeth.

Um, that's why I'm licking my teeth a lot right now.

Um...

So anyway, I didn't want to hold you, obviously if you have...

-Yeah. -Cool.

-Yeah. Okay. -Um...

-All right. -Yeah.

Fuck.

-Thirteen cents is your change. -Thanks.

- Have a wonderful evening. - Thanks.

-This is my car. So... -It's...

- Too weird. - Weird.

Hey, do you want to get a coffee?

Maybe?

Sure.

- Yes. - Great.

Yeah, good.

It's good.

Good. Yeah.

I heard about your mom.

I was really sorry to hear it.

Oh, yeah, thanks. You know, she, um...

She was sick for a little bit.

So it was... You know, we were prepared for it.

-But thanks. -I know, yeah.

But, um, we've been...

We were clearing out her house a little bit.

And I think I'm gonna fix it up and... maybe sell it.

-So... -Fix it up yourself?

Yeah. That's kind of what I do.

Um...

Work on houses and stuff.

-Wow. -Yeah.

You build them? You do all the--?

I mostly do drywall stuff. Um...

-Huh. -My Uncle John runs a business.

So I got caught up with him, like...

You know, we did work in New Orleans after Katrina and then...

-It's boring as shit, but anyway... -It's not boring.

I didn't know that that's what you were doing.

Yeah, it's, it's, um... It's good. So it's steady and it's consistent.

And, um... Yeah, it's cool. It's fun.

-What? I don't know. You seem... -What? I don't know.

Yeah. Yeah. No, it's good. It's like, um...

I ended up in Tucson and, um, it's great.

It's a really nice, warm climate and I dig it.

-Oh, it's too hot. -No, it's good.

It's better, you know... It's not like here. So, um...

That's what I've been doing.

-Wow. -Yeah.

-Huh. Yeah, my parents moved to Florida. -Tucson. Warm. Good.

-To be warm. -Yeah.

-What? -They may move back.

-They may have to move back. -Yeah. What's going on?

My sister's having a baby.

Wow.

Yeah, that's-- That's the... the grandparent pressure.

-Yeah. Yeah. -You know?

-You're not married, huh? -No. No, no, no. Married to the work.

-Married to the drywall. -To the work.

Which is how I like it, you know, it's good.

It's really good for me. I think that's how I-- Yeah.

It's good and, um...

It's right for me. You know?

Are you okay?

-Yeah. -You okay?

Um...

I'm trying to get through this coffee.

--This coffee is terrible.

-The Blue Jay has gone downhill. -Yeah.

Um...

-What? -Tell me about your husband.

-Really? -Yeah.

Oh, God, I don't even know where to start.

Um...

I got really lucky.

He's a really incredibly supportive,

very nurturing, wonderful guy.

His name is Chris, and when I met him, he had two small boys.

And so...

Boom. Insta... Instamom.

And his ex-wife was... was really wonderful to me.

I don't know, their whole childhood... We had a week with them and a week off.

And so, you know, one week it's just the two of us.

We can do whatever we want, whenever we want to,

and footloose and fancy free, and... the next week,

it's Little League and soccer games, and then studying for the SAT's.

-And college tours, and, you know, so... -Yup.

--What?

-It's crazy. Right? -It's crazy. Yeah.

It's just crazy. It's great.

- Jim... What?

It's crazy. It's just crazy.

-Would you stop it? -What? I'm not doing anything.

-You are doing something with your face. -I'm not.

I'm not doing anything.

My face leaks. I don't know. What? It's fine.

It's fine. It's fine.

-Good. -Anyway...

There's a pregnant woman

-waiting for her ice cream. -Oh, yes. God.

I'll walk you to your car.

-Yeah. Yeah, come on. -Okay.

- Markum Dental, gone. - Oh, yeah?

I think I had a couple cavities filled there.

Yeah, I think you... You had nine, is the record?

-Oh, it might have been more like 11. -Yeah.

That's what happens when you live off of...

- jellybeans. - Jim.

There's no way.

Oh, come on. No. No. That's not possible.

- I think it's him. - No, that's his grandson.

He was like 100 in high school.

- That's his hat. - Oh, my God.

- That's his hat. - Waynie. Travels with Waynie.

-What? -Do you think he would remember?

I'm not sure he's alive.

--I haven't seen him move yet.

- No, he's not gonna remember. - Oh.

That was our dorky thing that we did. That was...

You wanna-- You wanna put a wager on it?

I'll bet you $100 he doesn't remember.

-A hundred dollars? -I'll bet you $100.

Mm-hmm.

- No, come on. No.

-Hi, Waynie. -Hi, Waynie.

Hey. What's up?

-We were wanting to go traveling. -Oh.

Huh.

Uh, you're talking...

Yeah. That's exactly what I'm talking about.

Okay.

-Thanks, Waynie. -Thank you, Waynie.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

-I told you. -Come on. You planted that.

I did not. You owe me $100.

-I don't have $100. All right. -Well, you owe me $100.

-Mexico. -Yeah, hit me.

-Hit it. -What you got?

-Japan. -Okay.

- I've got Brooklyn. - Germany.

Hey, Waynie, do you have any Zima?

I believe they pulled it off the market.

- Off the market. - Goldschlager?

- We don't carry that anymore. - That's not good.

- Uh, Belgium. - Belgium.

Jinx.

-Yeah? -Good.

I know who you are now. You're the lovebirds.

- The famous lovebirds

And you're still together? Right?

Huh?

--What? What? What's the matter? What?

Yeah. Yeah.

- What? - Yeah. It's, you know... It's 24 years.

-Yeah. -Still going strong.

Yeah, we got married, you know.

- Oh, congratulations. - Oh, thanks.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

I'll get your jellybeans.

--All right, what do we owe you?

You don't owe me anything. Your money's no good here.

-Come on. -Come on.

Let an old man buy something, please.

- Make me happy, okay? - Okay.

-Congratulations again. -Thanks, Waynie.

- Nice to see you. - Yeah. Good to see you, guys.

- You're looking good.

- You look exactly the same. - Oh, get out of here!

- Come on, now. You're gonna make me cry.

But I remember there being a...

- Mm-mm. - Did they move them?

That's it. No, that's it. See? Because I used to put my leg...

- Yeah. - here. Watch.

- Okay. - There we go.

- Hold on. Let's see.

- Come on. There it is.

- Ha! I still got the stuff. - Uh-huh. Yeah.

So, what's next for you? You going back to Tucson or...

You working?

-You got a house you're gonna build or... -Um...

I don't know if Tucson is, um...

Uh...

And, uh, I work stuff's kind of up in the air.

-What does that mean? -So...

-Um... -Do you not like doing it?

No, it's good. It's, um...

I don't know.

I have to admit, there's this small part of me, as I was sitting...

in the old house, and thinking about fixing it up,

and I was starting to think like...

I don't know, maybe... I could stay here.

It was interesting to me.

-What would you do here though? -It was just a thought. I don't--

-I mean, it wasn't like a plan, but... -No, I know. No, I...

Don't you want...?

-Why are you grilling me? -I'm not trying to grill you. I'm...

I guess I'm a little worried about you.

-Why are you worried about me? -I don't know. You don't-- You seem...

I don't know, a little lost, or...

I haven't got it all... figured out. But, um... You know.

Isn't there something you want to do?

Amanda, I don't fucking know what I'm doing, okay?

I had lost my job, okay? I lost my job.

I had a falling out with my uncle who was stealing clients from me,

and I beat the fuck out of him, okay?

I beat the living shit out of him.

It was a really scary moment,

and I had a crack, and I feel awful about it and I'm...

I'm sorry, I didn't-- I...

Oh, um...

So I'm living in Tucson and I don't want to stay there anymore,

but I don't really know where else to go.

And it's...

I'm having a...

I'm just having a hard time, so...

- I'm sorry. Yeah. - I'm not...

I'm gonna start crying again.

-Yeah. -This is the thing with me, all right?

-I really think it's your fault, honestly. -Why is it my fault?

You used to give me the best head rubs.

And they used to really take the edge off.

Quit hogging the jellybeans. Give them up.

-Come on. -Give me some jellybeans. Okay?

That's why I'm so sad.

- 'Cause you won't give me any jellybeans.

It's also a little hard 'cause you're really impressive.

Your life is really impressive.

-And so, there's a part of me that's... -Yeah.

Just saying.

I don't know. On the way here, I was getting on the plane,

and there was this family.

And this little boy,

he was so mad and just... just irate.

And, of course, he has no way of expressing any of that,

except to sort of just like scream and stomp his feet and...

He was screaming so loud, his tongue was curling to the back of his mouth,

and tears were just, like, you know, springing out of his face.

- He was leaking, you know.

And I remember looking at him and being very jealous.

- Yeah. That's my soulmate.

Me and that four-year-old.

-That's my soulmate. -Yeah.

I don't know. At some point, we just learn it's better not to do that and...

I don't know at what point.

Here.

-You ate a lot of them. -I did eat a lot.

You left me all the pink and purple ones.

Yeah. They're your favorites.

What's up?

Lisa-Lisa wants to know where her ice cream is at.

--Of course.

-Oh, God. -Does she like ice cream soup?

I'm just telling her I ran into someone.

-Oh... "Someone. Someone." -Don't take it per--

Sorry, yes. Fine, I'll tell her it's you.

-Just-- -Mm-mm.

-No, she asked me who. It's Jim. -She's gonna ask-- There it is.

Lisa-Lisa, the interrogator.

"Holy fuckity-fuck, Jim-Jim?"

-She's Lisa-Lisa'ing you, man. -Yes, Jim-Jim.

Oh. Yes.

She wants to know how you look.

She wants to know when I'm coming back.

I kinda want to see your house.

You want to see the house?

It's been really great catching up with you.

But if the reason you're spending time with me is because

you feel sorry for me...

You don't have to do it. It's okay. Okay?

Sorry. There's boxes.

-Sorry. -It's okay.

There we go.

Yeah, I've still got a lot of stuff to pack up.

Yeah.

-That's a good one in particular. Yeah. -Yeah, I'll say.

-Yeah, pretty much how she left it, so... -Mm.

I've been thinking about drywalling where the paneling is.

Maybe taking out that wall,

-so it opens into the kitchen. -Mm-hmm.

I don't know, there's also something kind of...

cozy about it the way it is.

Thinking about it.

Uh, anyway, make yourself at home. I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

I'll see you in a sec.

Oh, my God.

This is a very serious collection

- of romance novels. - Yeah.

This could not have been here...

-when we were spending time... -There were some...

I think she really started collecting when I left...

-Yes. -...and I wasn't here to...

We would have had a field day with this.

- Yeah. Well...

I mean, let's face it. In your heyday, you were pretty...

-In my heyday? -You were pretty romantic.

I'm remembering when you read Wuthering Heights and made me read it.

- And you sent me that...

I think it was four legal page letters that...

Jim, that's extreme. It wasn't...

You called me Heathcliff. You called yourself Catherine.

- "I am you, and you are me." - Will you stop it?

-Yes, so... -That's completely humiliating.

By the way, don't pretend like you're all above this.

There is a very big difference,

I would just like to point out, between this lovely array of books

and the great work of art and literature that is Wuthering Heights.

I mean, they cannot be compared.

Oh, here's something for you. Right away.

"She knew that her heart and soul belonged to Justin."

--What? What? Justin?

It's, like...

-There's no sexier name than Justin. -What? Justin.

"Oh, Justin. Do it to me, Justin."

- Oh, come on. - Sorry.

No, there's more.

"But it wasn't until tonight that she realized

Justin also owned her body."

I'm sorry. There is no comparison between this and Wuthering Heights.

First of all...

It's sacrilegious to compare...

I don't want to think about my mother reading these.

Neither do I, I have to say.

I've been staring at these, figuring out how to get rid of them.

-Why? You just... -Well, I don't know.

It's weird, like, I had this weird...

I had a strange mortality moment where I looked at them,

and I was like there's... 800 books here,

and even if I, for some reason, wanted to read all of these books,

I wouldn't be able to finish all these books before I died.

That's a weird... thing. You know, like the math of that.

-It's a pretty morbid thought. -I mean, just a...

Not to be morbid, but it's just a thing. You know?

Well...

I don't know, it's all relative, I think.

I mean, my husband, you know...

Maybe he would make it through this section,

if he were lucky.

- I don't know. - Yeah.

Can I, um... Do you mind if I go outside? I have to make a phone call.

Yeah. Yeah, of course. Yeah.

-Thank you. -You know the way.

Yes, I do.

I know, I'm sorry, I meant to call you. Yeah.

The minute I got there,

she sent me right out to get some food for her.

Yeah, no, she seems really... She seems really good.

You know, she's just hungry.

Uh, I think we're just gonna stay in.

Just, you know, watch a movie or, you know, and eat.

Yeah.

Will you-- Can you just say that again? I didn't hear you.

Yeah.

This is amazing. This is amazing. It's like a time capsule.

--Yeah. It's all here.

-You need the black light. -A black light.

It was 1993. You needed a black light.

-Yeah, you had to have a black light. -You want to watch some, uh, Friends?

-Seinfeld? -Seinfeld?

The other option is I could do a little, uh... Gin Blossoms.

-Yes. Would you? -Or...

Maybe Toad the Wet Sprocket?

Oh.

-I hate the sound of Toad the Wet-- -Fine. Blues Traveler.

I like Blues Traveler.

- Oh, well, well, well, well, well. Mm-hmm.

You literally have every shirt you wore in high school still.

My mom kept stuff. That's just...

God. Yeah. I remember wearing this one.

This one.

- I think this one is mine.

-I always hated this one. -I looked good in that.

You did not look good in it. You looked like a weird lumberjack.

-You say that like it's a bad thing? -It is a very bad thing.

- Well, you know, I'm sorry.

-That's private property. -Oh, really?

-Have some respect, okay? -For what?

-For your privacy? -Yes. Exactly.

-You probably read these to me out loud. -It's called privacy.

- No, no, that's private. - Oh, my--

"The winds of change are fucking blowing tonight."

- No, no, no! You don't need... - No, no, no! No.

-No, thank you. Nope. Nope. -"Amanda, Amanda!

Who knew her name was going to be Amanda.

-What a face! -Hey!

-What a spirit! -Enough!

My lips said, 'Hello, my friend,' but my heart said, 'Hello, my future.'

I don't even know myself anymore.

-Jim has been ripped in half. -Burn it!

I'm so happy to bleed, for there is Amanda."

Oh, my God.

- You want Japan or New York? - New York.

Oh, my God.

I found a picture of you that is outrageous.

You don't deserve this, by the way. Digging through my stuff.

Listen, man, you don't have a lock on your shit.

--It's bound to get broken into.

Man, I can't believe you still have all this stuff.

- Yup. - Crazy.

- Mom was a bit of a hoarder. - Yeah.

--Do you dare? Are you brave enough?

The winds of fucking change are blowing tonight, man.

- Fuck you. Fuck you.

This first classic performance is entitled, "Hanging Out," made in 1994.

Oh, my God.

- I don't know what's happening. Good luck.

- What's it gonna be? - Oh, boy.

-Oh, come on! -No! No!

-You fucking taped over it. -This is what I was recording over.

We were running out of tapes. Wait. Hold on.

--Welcome home.

Thanks, sweetheart. It's so good to see you.

- How was work? - Ew. Ew.

You know, Glen Donovan is canceling his account with us.

Twenty-three years doing business together.

Just like that. Can you believe?

-Oh, business. -Twenty-three years with Glen Donovan.

I'm sorry.

I've got a little something to cheer you up.

- Oh, come here then. Get over here. - Not that.

You are in a late night Cinemax movie.

Close your eyes.

- Why? - Just do it.

- See, I'm the boss, even then. Yeah. - You're the boss.

- What are you doing? - Would you be patient?

- I'm not patient. - Jim, come on!

Okay, open them.

- Oh, my God. - Happy 40th anniversary, lover.

Oh, my God. Look at this meal. Look what you did.

- Do you like it? - Oh. Sweetheart, it's beautiful.

I'm so thankful. I didn't get you anything.

- I'm sorry. I forgot. - It's okay. You've been busy.

- Just sit down, let's eat. - It's delicious. Oh, my God. Mmm.

Oh, my God.

Is it good? I made your favorite.

- You are my favorite. - I'd better be your favorite.

So, did you talk to Jessica yet today?

I did.

And?

And... she got it!

- Yes! Yes!

Oh, I knew she would. But I mean, two years in,

she's already getting promoted.

- But are you surprised? - No. That's our Jessica.

Ever since she was three years old,

and she started telling me what to wear,

- I think we knew not to worry about her. - I know.

Oh, now I know why poor Jason was a little...

- Yeah. - odd on the phone today.

I know. I think it's so hard when your big sister is so successful.

Yeah, must be. But he's so wonderful in his own way.

- So wonderful. - He's gonna find it. I know he will.

- And he's got your eyes. - He's got your heart.

We've got a great couple of kids.

Well, they got a great mom.

Best mom in the whole world.

- Best dad in the whole world. - Oh, come on!

It's kind of funny, like...

having the house to ourselves again, isn't it?

All those years with the four of us running around,

- bumping into each other and...

Just back down to the two of us.

Yeah.

- But it's nice. - It is nice.

Hey, I'm really sorry...

- I forgot to get an anniversary present. - It's okay.

I feel really bad. I'm going to go to the bathroom real quick.

What?

Jim! What are you doing?

Oh, just nothing. Here. Open it. Open it.

Stupid.

You got us tickets to see Annie Lennox?

Yes, I did. Happy anniversary. Do you like dancing?

You, son of a bitch! You tricked me!

Hey, I still got a few tricks left up my old sleeve here.

Come here.

- I love you, Amanda Henderson. - I love you more.

- You were so good!

How can I believe you?

- The surprise of the tickets. - You seemed like an old man.

I actually believed that you could really cook.

- Kiss me. - Hey.

- Here's to 80 more. - Yeah, 120 more.

- Yeah, we could do that, right? - Yeah.

- We weren't very cool. - No, we were deeply uncool.

-That was so... Oh... -That was really...

Yeah.

Mm.

I wonder where that plane is going.

- It's not coming here.

He's like, "That town down there...

-"Sucks." -sucks."

Although, you know what, the fact that it's dark,

- you can't quite see the shithole-ness. - That is right.

- And actually, right now... - It does look pretty.

-It's kind of nice, right? -Yeah.

Not so bad.

What's on your mind, eh?

Is it that obvious?

That was really...

a little unnerving...

back there, listening to all that stuff.

- I mean... I seemed quite, um, fun.

-First of all. -Your rapping career didn't turn out...

the way you hoped it would, I think. I understand.

Hmm.

It's almost like I don't know who that person was on the tape.

I remember her really well.

-She was really fun, wasn't she? -Yeah, she was great.

-Yeah. -And I...

Don't get me wrong. It's not that my...

life isn't that. It's... I just...

-Amanda? -What?

I understand.

- You don't have to explain it to me.

Would you like to have some fun tonight?

Like just some...

stupid ass fun tonight?

Well, now I'm scared. What are you going to do?

- Do you trust me? - I don't know.

-It's been a long time. I don't know. -It's a good question.

- Yeah, it has been a long time. - I really don't know.

-Got to say fuck the ice cream, though. -Mm.

Fuck the ice cream!

Is that your new rap?

Fuck the ice cream.

-Fuck. Fucka-fucka-fucka... -Fuck the... Fucka-fucka-fucka...

Fuck the ice cream.

--Honey, I'm home!

Hi, sweetheart.

You have to close your eyes. Please just stay right up there.

Do not come down here, and close your eyes.

- Why do I have to close my eyes? - Because...

-What's going on? -Because it's a surprise.

-Please, sweetheart. -Oh, a surprise. Okay.

-Did you have a good day, Mr. Henderson? -Well, there's a lot to talk about.

How was your day, Mrs. Henderson?

I have something very exciting to tell you as well.

Wow! That sounds like we should maybe have dinner

and talk about our days.

-Do me a favor and please be patient. -Okay, I'm being patient.

-I'm closing my eyes. -Okay, keep them closed.

You know I'll do anything for you, Mrs. Henderson.

I'm counting on it. Okay.

Something smells delicious.

-Hello. -Hello, Mrs. Henderson.

Hello, Mr. Henderson.

-Keep your eyes closed. -Okay.

-Come with me. -Yes.

-Hold on to the railing, please. -Okay.

Okay.

It's very exciting.

-I can't wait to hear... -I love surprises.

-...all about your day at work. -Okay. Okay.

On the count of three, I want you to open your eyes.

Okay.

Okay, go for it.

-One, two... -Mm.

- Three. - Oh, my God!

Look at this meal! It's gorgeous!

You made all this? You cooked all this?

Have you been taking cooking classes on the sly?

-Maybe, Mr. Henderson. -Oh, my gosh.

- Mrs. Henderson, this meal is beautiful.

It's elegant.

-Very French, Mr. Henderson. -But I have a question...

-What's the special occasion? -I can't believe you forgot.

-What? -Mr. Henderson...

Cinemax.

- Happy 20th anniversary, lover.

Of course I didn't forget. I was just playing.

Happy anniversary, sweetheart.

--I'm... I'm going here.

-Oh, let's eat. -Oh, let's eat.

- These eggs are really something. - Really?

And the noodles, are they Asian?

--They're really fantastic.

Yes. That I slaved over for a very long time.

- Hard to make. - No, I...

-Very, very hard to make. -You can really taste it in there.

-It tastes-- -How was your day, sweetheart?

Well... Glen Donovan was at it again, honey.

Oh, Glen Donovan, he's always giving you a hard time.

I don't know if I can take another day.

I mean, it's good stable income

until your career takes off, of course, but...

Well, it's funny that you should mention that

because I got a very exciting phone call today.

You did? What was your phone call?

-I got a call today... -Mm-hmm.

saying I got the opening slot.

Opening... You got the opening slot?

I am going to

open for...

-Oh, no. -Oh, yes. Oh, very seriously.

Are you going to be the first female white rapper to open for Public Enemy?

- Booyah! - I knew it!

--I knew you could do it, honey!

-Mrs. Henderson, they loved your demo. -They loved my demo.

- They thought it was so fresh. - I'm so impressed. Come here.

- Cheers to you, Mrs. Henderson.

-Thank you. -I can't believe it. Oh, no!

But you'll be on tour and I'll miss you. I'll be so sad.

-What do we do? -Well...

What do you think about saying, um... "Fuck you" to Glen Donovan?

I do it inside of my head every day, darling.

- I'd love to out loud.

-Tell me what you have. Tell me. -Honey...

-Okay, but you promise not to laugh? -I won't laugh.

I'd never laugh at you, honey.

I think it could be really, really romantic...

and also an opportunity to kind of like...

find ourselves and be adventurous. We rent an RV.

-Can I drive? -You can drive.

- Can we get matching hats? - We can get matching hats.

Laminated maps.

We can go from town to town, exploring things

and sleeping outside under...

-Rapping by night. -the stars.

-Rapping by night. -Adventuring during the day.

-Yes. -We're going to go look for hot springs.

Hot springs and zip lining, and weird food and diarrhea...

We can go all over the country! We'll see all our people!

All our friends, and people that used to live here and moved away and...

Yes!

Jessica and Jason will come and visit us. It will be so magical.

Don't you think?

- Honey? - What?

If you don't want to do it, we don't have to do it.

It's just, I think it could be really romantic.

Now, you listen to me, you son of a bitch.

This is the greatest thing that's ever happened to us.

-Honey. -What?

-I got egg in your beard. -Did you get some eggs all over my beard?

It's okay. It's okay. You know why?

- Honey, that was really funny.

But in all seriousness, hon...

--You are a brilliant planner.

- You're a wonderful cook. - Sweetheart.

You're the greatest rap artist I've ever known.

It's the only true thing you just said.

And I think it's time for me to unveil my anniversary surprise.

You didn't.

-I did. -You didn't.

--I did.

You didn't.

I did.

Watch the... Watch the one eyebrow raise. Watch this happen.

You're not doing it, honey.

-There it is. Nailed it? -Not at all.

-There's two. -You have to do this. No, no.

- Did I do it? - Well, now it's...

Now, it's turning into something else.

I'm really sorry I got egg on you, honey.

It's a very sweet thing after all these years

you could still make me laugh like that.

-Twenty years. -Twenty years.

Let me give you your surprise.

Jim... did you really do something?

- I did.

Jim.

Jim, Jim, Jim.

Jim. What are you doing?

- You leaving room for Jesus? - You know it. Catholic school forever.

♪ I used... ♪

It's so good.

-♪ From the gracious days ♪ - ♪ Oh ♪

♪ I used to be woebegone ♪

♪ So many restless nights ♪

♪ My aching heart would bleed ♪

♪ For you to see ♪

♪ Oh, but now ♪

♪ To make me cry ♪

♪ No more "I love you's" ♪

- Hi. - Hi.

-Mrs. Henderson. -Hello, Mr. Henderson.

It's a very good present.

I'm okay.

-You crying? -I'm all right. I got this.

-It's like our prom all over again. -I know.

It's really a long song. I forgot how long this is.

Surprised we had attention spans that would last long enough.

-I know. It is good. -But the song's so damn good.

Yeah, there it is.

-That was a very, very nice touch. -It was good. It was good.

What's next?

Oh, yeah.

Oh!

-I'm scared. -Heads up.

--Oh!

Mm. Backwards!

-This is my Molly Ringwald. -I like that.

--Oh, God.

--Oh!

Shit, yeah.

Oh!

Jump, jump, jump!

Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay.

-Enough with the moaning. -God, I forgot how good it feels.

- Enough with it. Take it easy. - Oh, my God.

You know, I was kidding when I was on the rocks. But, seriously...

I don't want to punch anybody. As long as you rub my head, I'm good.

Oh.

No, that means it's ending. Don't do that. Don't do that.

- I don't want it to be over. No! - Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

-That's enough for you. I think it is. -No, it's not.

-Keep going. -No, I'm not gonna keep going, Jim.

I have done this for you like a million times.

You've never done it for me once. Not once.

-All right. Stretch it out. -Are you kidding me?

Are you kidding? Could we please get on with the rub?

I've waited a very long time for this.

You can't rush greatness, okay? Take it easy. All right?

If you want to experience the ancient art of phrenology,

you really need to wait and get it done right.

-Come again? -Okay, well, if you had seen Men at Work,

the classic Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez film from 1990,

you would know, it's when you...

you know, feel and interpret someone's skull features,

and see what's going on in there.

See, I get up in here and I say...

See that knot right there? That says you're a terrible cook.

- Okay? You're shitty. - Shut up.

This... Um...

And I'm getting this straight from the skull features,

you are a lover of animals.

Yeah, you knew that already because I told you that I run a dog rescue.

Tell me about your doggies.

I haven't really heard you talk about it much.

-It was Chris's idea actually. -What's that?

That I open the rescue.

-Yeah. -That's cool.

-Yeah. -I love the idea of you

kind of hanging out with little Freddy-like greyhounds

and taking care of them. I miss Freddy.

We don't really... We don't do the greyhound thing.

What do you mean? You were like the greyhound queen.

Yeah, they're just, you know, they're not practical.

Chris pointed out and he's right that, you know...

They have a lot of special needs. They take a lot of work.

We have a small organization, and, you know, it's manageable.

I guess I just...

You love greyhounds. I don't... I mean...

Yes, I do.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

I always think of them as people wearing a fur coat.

I don't know. I just always have felt understood by them.

That makes sense.

I don't know. They want to be around people, but...

I don't know, feel what they feel. I can't explain it. It's...

I can tell that they know that being out in the world is hard.

Yeah.

And they feel it and they just want to be, like, nuzzled up in...

They want to make you feel better.

They have that instinct of wanting to be close.

And I don't know. I just...

And you can take a greyhound, even with all of the things

that come with owning them or caring for them,

or rehabilitating them.

You take the oldest, neediest, most anxious,

broken down greyhound, and if you take that dog to the beach,

and you take off his collar,

he will just fucking run.

-Like he was still young. -Yeah.

Just tear down that beach.

And there's like sand flying and tongue is hanging out his mouth,

and he's just so...

I don't know, it's so beautiful.

I think you should think about working with greyhounds.

Yeah.

- A decent amount of stars tonight. - Hmm.

- Can I tell you something? - Anything.

I've...

I've been taking anti-depressants...

for awhile.

And...

I haven't told anyone, you know. Not even Chris.

And I don't know why...

I feel so embarrassed

about taking them.

It's probably because there's nothing, you know,

there's nothing wrong with my life.

I should be happy.

But there's this...

sadness.

And I don't know where it comes from.

I can understand that.

The drugs, they're... they're weird.

- I mean, I've... - Yeah.

I literally haven't cried in five years.

Yeah, I don't have that particular problem myself.

-Can I ask you something? -Anything.

Why don't you talk to Chris about it?

I...

I don't know.

I think there was a time when I would have.

But things...

Things are just kind of changing. They're just... changing now.

How so?

Bryce is off to college and Theo is right behind him and...

Chris is... Chris is almost 64 now.

Uh, wow.

What?

I mean, I knew he was older. I didn't realize he was that much older.

-Yeah, well, you know... -It's...

-It's not nothing. -Yeah.

-I... -But...

I have loved...

I have loved being a mom to those kids, you know?

I just, I...

I do not know what it's going to be like when they're gone.

And sometimes I look at Chris, and I think...

"Oh, my God.

Am I going to be taking care

- of an elderly person soon?"

I knew it. You know, I knew it going in, but somehow...

being faced with just the two of us, alone in a house and...

-I don't know. -It's real now.

-Yeah. -Yeah. I get it.

-Hey. -Hey, what?

I want to say thank you.

Why do you--? What for?

For tonight.

For remembering my pink and purple jellybeans.

You know.

For never making me feel wrong about who I am.

What?

-I just... -You're embarrassed on my behalf?

--No, no, I just had a thought and it's...

-What? You have to tell me. -Nothing. No, it was...

I just told you something that I've never told anyone,

- and I think that you should just... - I was thinking about...

our first time... in the back of this truck at the lake.

Mm.

- All 38 seconds of it? - Oh, shut up.

I was excited. I was 16, okay?

I've developed some serious skills since then.

-I'll have you know. -Oh, yeah.

In fact, I've been servicing the entire Tucson, Arizona area with...

- What are you, a plumber?

It's funny though, 'cause...

It's never really been like it was with us, for me.

I mean, you know, that's a nostalgia thing.

-You know, that's how it's... Yeah. -Yeah. Yeah.

It's the same for me.

-Really? -Yeah.

- There's something about those dumb kids.

-Yeah. -They knew something.

Yeah.

-Magic. -Magic, that's right.

-Jim? -Yeah.

Will you kiss me?

I know what I'm asking.

I love you.

I have to go, Jim.

-Jim, please. -Amanda...

-Hey, listen. I don't want you to go! -Please, please!

-Will you just please give me a minute. -Okay, okay, okay. Listen.

It's confusing, I get it. Okay? I just want... We can talk about it.

I don't want to talk about it! I don't want to talk about it.

I shouldn't have let this game go on for so long.

-This is not a game to me, though. -Do you understand that I am married?

-I understand. -You know what that means?

-I belong to someone else! -I understand. I'm just trying--

Will you please just give me a little bit of room.

Where the fuck is my coat?

Where did you get this?

It was in your closet.

And you just took it?

Yeah.

-Why? -It's addressed to me, first of all.

And second of all, I wanted to read it.

Well, if this is just a game to you, Amanda,

then why do you need to read a letter that I wrote to you 22 years ago?

What is this--? What could this possibly mean to you?

You know, I don't know. I just wanted to read it.

Well, this is my letter.

-I know that and I'm sorry. -No! I don't think you understand that.

I think you need to understand something, that this is my letter.

Okay? This belongs to me.

And you can't come into my house, and just take this,

and do whatever you want with it without asking me, because it's mine too.

You understand me?

-What is this--? -That was my baby, too. Okay?

It was ours!

-What--? -It was ours.

You just fucking...

Why did you...?

Fucking...

-Why did you do that? -Jim.

Why did you do that?

- You... - I was a scared kid!

I didn't know how to handle it!

You had to give me a minute! You fucking went away and you...

You were the one who told me that we were too young--

I was scared! Why'd you fucking do it?

-Oh God... -It was our life!

Fuck!

We were gonna be so happy.

We lost it. We lost everything.

Jim.

Fuck.

Oh, God.

Shh.

- Breathe. Breathe.

Okay. Okay.

Take a deep breath, please.

- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry too.

-I'm really sorry. -I'm really sorry, too.

Okay.

I need you to understand something.

I didn't just irrationally make the decision to do what I did.

And I know, I see now that it was incredibly hard on you.

But I was the one who had to go in there and actually do it.

Actually go through with it, you know?

And I do get that I didn't handle it well. I didn't...

I just... I tortured myself

going over the options alone, in my bedroom.

Going over and over what I should do.

And then you sent me that stupid note.

Making all those... those weird, sarcastic jokes and...

And then you sent me that stupid "Get Well Soon" balloon.

A balloon, Jim.

I don't know, there was just something about it

where it became so clear to me that, that you were too young to handle it.

We were too young to handle it.

And I knew that I was gonna have to go through it alone

and I knew I couldn't... do it alone.

And, you know...

Do I have regrets? Yes. Yes.

But, I...

What can we do?

Here.

Please.

Will you just read it?

"Amanda,

I know we can get through this together.

You are my world.

I will never stop loving you."

It was the first version that I wrote to you.

Why didn't you send this to me?

I was scared. I didn't...

I was just stupid. I'm sorry.

-I'm contagious. -Apparently.

- It's okay. It's okay. - Now it's just never going to stop.
