Look at the state
of this place,

It's like we're in
a Mumbaian slum.

A year ago we had a staff of 25

working the grounds
of our home,

and now we walk by a mattress
on the side of the road,

without thinking twice
about it.

Well, the good news is that
mattress is covering up

a cracked toilet seat.
- Oh, John.

John, do you remember
what Goldie Hawn told us

at that AmFar dinner?

- I dunno.

"You are the life
you accept for yourself."

Those are Goldie's words.

Or something someone said
to her in India.

Or perhaps she read it.

In any case, it has always
stayed with me.

John, I will not accept
this life.

And neither should you!

- Yeah.
- I mean, would it kill someone to plant a few peonies?!

I have a feeling
if you want peonies, Moira,

you're gonna have to plant
them yourself.

These are dark times John,
but not that dark.

*

I love how we can just be
silent with each other.

- Yeah.

I mean, I definitely feel
like we used to talk more

at the beginning,

but um, it's good that we don't
have to do that anymore.

Because now we can just express
how we feel through silence.

- What?
- Nothing.

- What?

It's just, you're talking about
how nice it is not to talk,

but you're still talking
about it.

- I mean, yeah, I'm not a mute!

Well, that is
an understatement.

Are we having some non-fight
fight or something?

because all I'm saying is that
it's nice to not talk,

but apparently I'm not allowed
to say that?!

- No fight.

It's not a fight.

All I am saying
is that you know,

You need to talk
about everything,

and I... don't.

I don't need to talk
about everything,

I'm just saying that
if I stopped talking,

then who knows when we're
gonna start talking again.

You know?

- That way.
- Thank you.

- Are those my mannequins?

- Yeah.

- Well, where are they going?!

- Oh, I sold them on eBay.
- Well, what do you mean?

But don't worry,
I'm using the money to buy other mannequins,

ones that are a little
less um...

- Fun?
- Porn-y.

Uh, I also placed
a few other orders.

Little things to scatter
around the store,

to give the space a more
directional feel.

Oh David, I saw some cute
little knick-knacks

that I thought we could pair
with the scarves.

Where are the scarves?
- Oh, I sold those, too.

Oh. Well, things are
happening very quickly.

Now the candles, are they
something that we would sell

at a blouse store?

- No, those are just decorative.

Scent is a really important
factor in defining a brand.

Alexander Wang once fired
my friend over the smell

of his cologne.

To Alex's credit,
"Curve Pour Hommes"

hasn't been the look since '97.

Well, the look and the smell
here's very woody,

very funky.

Now David, you don't have
to sell all my things off.

You can use the company
credit card.

- Yeah, I used that, too.

Oh well then,
save all the receipts,

because anything you buy
for the store is a write off.

The candles,
and the jewelry stands...

- No jewelry stands.

- No jewelry...
- Noooo! No. No.

- No, David! Jewelry stands!

I have taken a moment
out of my busy schedule,

because this poor town
is sliding into disarray.

There is a filthy mattress just
lying on the side of the road

a few blocks from here!

Oh no, that's Dick Sinson's
mattress, he's giving it away.

Ray, I have always seen you
as a sensitive,

cultured, man of the world.

You have that striking accent.

- Thank you.

And I'm sure your family
wanted more for you

when they immigrated from...

- Winnipeg.
- Winnipeg.

We deserve more, don't we, Ray?

We deserve cleanliness,
we deserve flower beds,

we deserve better lives!

You make some very good
points, Mrs. Rose.

- Thank you.
- But can I ask why are you talking to me about this?

I'm hoping to take
my complaint to council,

and I've been told you'd be
the easiest one to crack.

Too kind. And I'd be happy
to help.

- Excellent!

But unfortunately, I'm no
longer on the town council.

I resigned a few weeks ago,

too overwhelmed with
my businesses.

But uh, you're more than
welcome to take it

to council yourself,
with my endorsement.

Which won't really help,
since I resigned.

Um, and council wasn't
too happy about it.

I'm surprised you didn't hear,

I talked about it extensively
on my podcast.

I don't know how
I missed that.

- David, is that you?

- Huh?
- Hey!

Look at us, son,
a couple of working stiffs

back from the salt mines.

- What?!
- Two men, back from the mines.

- What mines? What's that mean?

- It's a figure of speech.

- Um, I don't get that.

The salt mines!
Back from when people mined.

- Uh huh...
- When miners worked in the... salt industry,

they'd come home,
after digging... salt.

I don't know what it means!

Uh-huh, you know I just got
back from a four-hour shift

that mostly consisted of me
sampling luxury candles so...

Well, that's-
that's a tough day.

- Hmm.

Why don't you grab
yourself a cold one?

You've earned it.

Working man.
- Thank you.

There's nothing in here.
- Really?

- Yeah.
- Oh, I must've taken the last one.

- Okay.

You know, for what
it's worth, son,

I just wanted to tell you uh...

how proud of you I am.
- Thank you.

I mean, you got this job
all on your own,

Nobody had to make a call,
nobody got involved,

nobody had to...
pay somebody off.

- What?
- And you're looking very, very sharp.

- Well...
- Is that a new sweater?

- Uh, it is.

- Well, word to the wise, son,

don't spend all your money
at once.

- I thought you weren't getting involved.
- No, I'm not.

I'm not, I'm just saying,
word to the wise, is all.

Okay, what does
"word to the wise" even mean?

- Word to the wise.

When you're speaking
to somebody wise,

you lis- you're cognizant
of what they're saying.

A wise person telling you...

Anyway, just-just uh,
keep that in mind, and um...

Keep up the good work.

Thanks so much. I'm just
gonna use this now. So...

Wake up sleepy head,
nap time's over.

Honestly, honestly,
I have no money,

and an empty purse
from two seasons ago!

- Alexis, it's me.

- Oh my God! Your face!

- Yes, you can see it now!

- You shaved!

- Are you-are you crying?

- No!

- No, um, when did you do this?

Just now, I felt like
a change.

And you didn't talk
to me about it.

- About me shaving my beard?

- Yeah.
- Okay, what would we have talked about?

It's my face.

- Um...

- You'dve said, uh,

"Wow Alexis, I'm thinking
about shaving my beard."

And then I would've said,

"hm, no Mutt, I don't think
that that's the right journey

for you at this point in time."

Well, then I would've said,
"too bad."

I shave like, every six months.

Okay, you try growing a beard!

I was a beard for a very
well known actor,

And I get it,
it's uncomfortable.

But your beard is like,
my favorite thing about you!

My beard is your favorite
thing about me!

- I said one of my favorite things.
- No, no, no, no.

- You said, "favorite thing!"

I just woke up,
and you have a different face.

So there's just a lot
going on right now!

Yeah, tell me about it,
I just found out

that my girlfriend's
favorite thing about me

is the hair that grows
out of my face!

- I'm just saying...

that I think that
that was a decision

that we needed to make
as a couple.

Okay? We need to communicate
more.

I really didn't think
that "this" was a thing

we needed to talk about.

I thought we had a deeper
thing goin' on.

That's not what this
is about.

This is about me being
left out of the loop.

I do need to talk.

And maybe if we had talked more,

I could have prepared
myself for this.

Look at your little doll lips.

Thank you for installing the
ramp at the post office,

but it's a little steep.

I've tried it twice,
and both times,

I've been sort of shot back
into traffic.

Yeah, but see the thing
with a ramp is,

it's kind of a momentum thing,

You really gotta you know,
give it a...

Attention please,
council!

I have a concern.

I was just hoping
to be interrupted

by a concerned citizen.

Would you like to be added
to the agenda, Moira?

No need, I'm prepared
to speak now.

Well, that just doesn't
work, I mean,

we have a list, uh...

Bob, just concentrate
on the minutes, okay?

I can tell right now
you're behind.

Okay, typing is not
my strong suit.

Ray could type without
looking at the keys.

- This will take but a moment.

I can't imagine you have anything
more pressing this afternoon.

Well, actually,
Jennifer had the floor.

- Hello.

You could've spoken up.

Excuse me.

David, if you're going
out again,

can you pick up some new
toilet paper?

I cannot use the stuff
the motel provides, okay?

It's like a birthday streamer.

You-you-it stretches,

and then-and then you pull it,
and it just snaps, okay?

That-that whole thing
just fell off the roller!

Wow, um, Dad,
you remember Stevie.

- Yes, yes, I remember Stevie.

I know Stevie.
I knew Stevie was here.

That's why I came in with something funny.
- Hmm.

Oh yeah, I'm sure.
- What's this? Looks expensive.

- Oh, this is some new bedding.

David, didn't I just...
tell you to save your money?

- Uh, yeah.

I am testing this out
for the store,

so work is paying for it.

Work is paying for your
bedding?

I was gonna leave,
but now I don't want to.

What is that?
Is that a new lamp?

Yeah, I'm thinking
of bringing homeware

um, into the store,
so that's a write off.

- That's a write off?
- Yeah.

Do you even know
what a write off is?!

Uh yeah, it's when you buy
something for your business

and the government
pays you back for it.

- Oh, and who pays for it?

- Nobody, you write it off.

- Who writes it off?!

I don't know, the govern...
the "write off" people!

Why are we having this
conversation?

So if I need booze
to get through my day,

I can just write that off?
- That's a stretch.

But the skin care products
you got this morning,

those are a write off.

What skin care products? You
purchased skin care products?!

Okay, okay.
I am the face of the company.

If I have acne, what does
that say about the legitimacy

of the store?

- That's not a write off!

That's not a write off!

This?! Not a write off!

Oh, well, the bedding's
non refundable, so.

David, a write off
is a business expense

used to reduce your taxable
income!

Okay, well then why isn't it
called a "tax write off?"

- It is!

It is, you can't just buy
things for yourself,

and write them off!

Well then, I'll return some
things.

There's not enough space in here
for the massage chair, anyway.

I should get back
to work.

Just in case any more
of your packages arrive.

I am here to address
an issue that I believe

pertains to all of us:
self-respect.

I don't think we can help you
in that department.

I'm speaking about
what we have allowed

to happen to this town.

Everyone leaving their old
things here and there,

like some city-wide
garage sale!

I deserve better!

We deserve better.

A baby born in a prison cell
does not know

that a toilet should not
be in the same room

as its bed, but we do.

I didn't know you'd been
in prison.

What? No, I'm illustrating
a point.

Okay, picture all of you
living in a cave,

having never seen the outside
world...

and then I show up.

No, this is not what
I'm trying to say.

- What are you trying to say?

That we should strive
for something

that sets us apart
from the prison baby.

Greenery! We need greenery!

Flowers, boxwood trees!

Two sets each for the cafe,
and the motel.

And then a citywide clean up,

and I will not take no
for an answer.

Yeah well, I was actually
just gonna suggest that

before you suggested it.

- Thank you.

So there was just one baby
in prison,

or there were more?

- Did you lose weight?
- I shaved my beard.

Oh, I like it.
You look younger.

Thank you, Twyla.
That means a lot.

- So, what can I get you guys?

- Um, what's the cake today?

I'm sorry, did you just
ask for cake?

I'm not used to you
ordering solid food.

Yeah, I'll just have
a slice of whatever.

I guess I'm having cake.

- Everything okay?
- Yeah.

I don't know, I just feel like
something's changed...

with us.

- Huh.

- What are you thinking?

I don't know if anything's
changed.

I think maybe we know
each other better now.

Maybe that's the problem.

No, no, I'm not saying
that there's a problem,

I'm just saying that there
are definitely a few things

between us that need
to be adjusted

in order to make
this work for us.

Like maybe I need to talk less
and listen more,

and you need to talk more,
and listen less.

And are you willing to make
these adjustments?

- Well...

Are you?

Uh...
I brought two forks.

Just in case you wanted
to share.

S...

Hmm.

Yeah.

- Be careful on those stairs!

Hey, next order of business,
we install a ramp here.

- Hey!
- Hmm?

You really put Roland
on the spot there.

I was simply exercising
a basic human right.

Yeah, and I don't disagree
with you.

I've always known
you were on my side.

I wouldn't go that far.
But I will say this,

usually these council
decisions, they take weeks.

Oh, I won't wait
for anyone's decision.

I once got Winnie Mandela
to RSVP

to an "Artists Against Eczema"
benefit within the hour.

You're a pain in the ass,
but you get stuff done.

- A delightful compliment.
- Hmm, but those boxwood trees?

- Oh yes, two sets,

and if you know a good
ceramicist...

I would lower your
expectations.

You're lucky if you get
some daisies in a planter.

But good work.
- Thank you.

- Eczema benefit?

Yes, you try enjoying
a puff pastry

with everyone around you
scratching.

- Ew!

- Ugh!

- What's going on?

I think Mutt and I
ended things.

You think? Okay, here's
a serious question:

are you capable of making
an executive decision?

- It's done.

- Um... what happened?

I don't know, like, we were
talking, and then we just...

like, didn't talk
for a long time.

- Okay. And that's it?

No, and then we talked about
why we weren't talking.

And then we both agreed that
even though the sex was amazing-

- Mhmm.
- Like, amazing!

There was this time in the barn where
I climbed up onto this rafter...

But yeah, no,
I think-I think we're good.

Yeah, anyway, we both
agreed that we'd just been

lusting after each other
for such a long time

that that's what we were
holding onto,

and not what was right
in front of us.

- Which was what?
- What?

What was right
in front of you?

- When?
- Okay.

- Okay. So anyway, it's done.

And it's just really weird,

because I've never felt
anything after a break up.

- Mhmm.
- Like, nothing.

Like, I've been to doctors
about it.

- Mhmm...
- But this time, it's different.

- Well, that's good.

- I think he changed me a bit.

Like he knows me.

I let him know me. You know?

I think I need a hug,
or something.

- W-You what?

- I need a hug.

- Uh... uh...

David, will you please
give me a hug?

- Oh, okay, yes, yeah.

- Did you get new bedding?

- Um, yeah, I did.

But it's a write off,
so I don't...

Anyway.

- David, Alexis!

Could you come out here, please?

David, Alexis!

Come see this!
- What?

Honestly, John,
it's not worth it.

Your mother has done something
we can all be proud of.

Oh, did you pick up
that random condom

that was on the grass there?

- Ew, yeah, whose was that?
- I have no idea.

- No, that's not it. Not it.

- They'll never see it.

Throw it on the long list
of things I've done

for my children
they don't appreciate.

Your mother had these
boxwoods put in.

- Weren't those here before?
- No, there was literally nothing here.

It was a wasteland.

Weren't there more plants
here before?

No, there weren't!
And there are more around town.

- Thanks to your mother.

- That's great.

Okay.

- Are we good with the plants, or?
- Can we go? Yeah.

Yeah, we're good.
Okay.

Oh, there's the condom
right there, David.

- Ew!
- Eww!
