Fans are for pop stars.

We call it friend mail.

Wherever you're going,

Did Peter get

Yes.

I should go talk to him.

I don't think your wife

I'm Judy.

You have been with me

What's your trouble?

I've been told
I'm a good listener

because I bleed when I talk.

Go ahead.

I'm only ears.

I have too many friends.

[robotic voice] Well,
I don't have any friends.

I used to trust everyone.

Now I see the world

to fuck you in the throat.

Wow, I'm...

truly sorry for...

whatever happened to you.

[robotic voice] That's okay.

Please, continue.

My friends need me.

I don't know how to talk
to them all.

It's like someone's...

taken away my voice.

I know how you feel.

I know exactly

But it's gonna invite

It's gonna make some people

No, I'm gonna learn

Well, I want full custody

You are completely unfit

We agreed,

No, I do not.

Okay, well,
I hired one to go

through our bank accounts
to find out what's what

and he found something
he called odd

but I call curious

and the IRS would call
illegal.

[sighs]

My books are clean.

Every year, you donate hundreds
of thousands of dollars

to a charity called

the Indica School for Girls.

I poured my heart and soul
into that institution.

But there is no
Indica School for Girls.

And while we're at it,

there's no
Sativa School for Sluts

or Heroin High School
for Horses.

There's just receipts
from hotels in Belize

I built a real school

Yes.

Well, I don't Belize you.

You've been pocketing

Oh.

We're gonna build
Listen-To-Me Pickles.

See, it's got
a microchip inside it

so kids can talk to me

and I can talk to them,

instantly, over the airwaves.

Well, it's aggressive.

I even have a tagline
for the box:

"Jeff Pickles is always
listening to you."

Uh-huh.

They're already going to sleep
with the doll in their arms.

Now I get to wish them
good night.

Mm.

I want eight inches of me

Now, I understand there may be
some skeptics out there--

privacy issues and all.

This is our way around it.

I'll, uh, call

That's okay.

I should call her.

Right. Um...

will you do me a favor?

Um, your sister needs you.

She's going through a divorce.

Will you stay with her
for a bit?

I mean, you don't want
to convalesce

in your sad little hovel,

I like my apartment.

Please, just till she gets

Huh?

- Do me a favor.

Hi, how are you?

Whatever you need.

- Your brother needs you.
- Oh.

He's going
through his divorce.

I feel it would be
a good idea

if he moved in with you,

just till he gets
back on his feet.

Oh, where is Jeff?

Inching his way
up the driveway.

Does he need help or--

Can you help me
with this little favor?

Yes!
Deirdre is here to help.

Are you okay?

Do you hear a helicopter?

No.

I'd like you to do me
another favor.

Done.

You don't know what it is yet.

I'm sure when I hear it,

I'll dig it all the way
to China.

I want you...

to take over the business.

I'm retiring.

I'm tired.

It's time for this

I thought Jeff fired you.

Does it matter
whose idea it was?

Are you sure he's okay?

Yes.

He's almost
at the planters.

Oh.

I know you're going to say

that you have no experience
with things like this.

But I believe in you.

I'm in.
I got it.

The most important thing
is to gently but firmly...

sit on your brother's
worst impulses.

Mm, mm-hmm.

[Joanne] As your friend
and your realtor,

I'm afraid I have
to advise you strongly

not to put this place
on the market right now.

When I purchased this house,

I imagined living
in a mirror image

of my former home
would be therapeutic,

healing.

Instead, it just made me yearn
for a past I couldn't revive...

promised me a future
double-dipped in melancholy.

A two-story coffin.

A shadowed canyon
where memories echo

off the vinyl siding...

and crash silently
into the void.

You seem motivated.

Let me draw up the paperwork.

We can have this up on Zillow
by the end of the week.

You do that, Joanne.

Don't apologize.

There are 16 years of magic

We should have a ceremony,

Mm-mm.

Commemorate the end
of our relationship

the beginning of it?

I'm not inviting 150 people
and 11 puppets

to a sit-down dinner
to watch us get a divorce.

How do we tell
the Dalai Lama?

He has his own problems,

like China, for instance.

I'm just gonna
