[Graham] Uh, what are we looking for, again?

[Phil] Pipe condition.

Obstructions of any kind.

Tree roots can be particularly problematic.

[Graham] Oh. God, this is like a horror movie.

[Phil] First floor empty?

-Yeah. -And you live alone?

-Mm-hmm. -That's great.

More people in the house is a ticking time bomb

if you have bad pipes.

Ohh. Look at him.

Jesus. Holy fuck.

[Phil] I wonder how long that fucker was in there before he died.

Can-- can we just keep the camera moving?

-Oh, no. -What?

Now, this is bad. This is really bad.

-Worse than the rat? -They're Orangeburg pipes.

AKA Bermico pipes.

That sounds awful.

How on earth have these not been replaced already?

I... don't know.

Well, my friend,

that is what's causing leakage in your basement,

right there.

-Not the rat? -Forget the rat.

I will never.

[Graham] Yeah, yeah, if you need anything,

I'm, like, always around.

[floorboard squeaking]

-Um, yeah. -Yeah.

-There's more, if you wanna-- -[woman] Thank you.

-Oh, yeah, we saw it. -You're good? Okay, yeah.

-Yeah, yeah. -Thank you.

Let us all hear from our lady of the hour,

my travel companion to Italy in the spring,

Portugal, and Nepal.

-Everyone's favorite assistant, Sue. -Portugal?

[cheering, applause]

[Sue] Thank you so much.

I've been with Jerry for 32 years.

Married to Roy for 47.

-It's time for one of them to go. -[laughter]

That is now her new favorite joke.

Maybe it isn't a joke.

[♪]

You get dimmers.

Dimmers?

You get dimmers. Your rent apartment.

Okay. Thanks, Olga.

[partygoers laughing, chattering]

[Jerry] Last call for karaoke.

Sue? One song.

-No. -We all wanna hear you sing.

-[laughs] I think things are winding down. -Come on!

All right. You have a good time?

Oh, it was a great party, Jerry, thank you.

We've put in a lot of years, huh?

[Sue] I know, right?

What am I gonna do without you?

Not my problem. [laughs]

-I'm gonna miss you. -Well, I--

I'll be seeing you around.

Well...

-Oh, goodness. All right. -Come on.

[both laugh]

-Okay. -Absolutely.

Oh! Jerry.

I--

[sighs]

-A-- All right. -[Jerry] I didn't--

Don't worry about it.

Just-- No, I'm-- I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry. -[Maureen] Ohh!

-Are you saying goodbyes? -[Jerry and Sue] Yes.

-Just saying goodbye. -[Jerry] We were saying goodbye.

[Maureen] He is gonna miss you so much, Sue.

Oh, he'll be fine.

[Maureen] Well, I better get him home.

Uh, but we'll see you next week?

Next week?

Yeah, you're coming over for dinner,

Roy and I just set it up.

Oh, great.

-[Maureen] Okay. Great. -[Jerry sighs]

-Jerry, are you okay? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Uh, yeah, we were just saying goodbye.

[Maureen] Okay.

[mellow guitar music]

[sighs heavily]

[Roy] You ready?

[Sue & Connie] Grazie.

-[man on recording] Excuse me. -[Sue] Mi...

-Mi scusi. -...scusi. Mi scusi.

[man on recording] Check, please.

-[doorbell rings] -Uh,

something per favore?

[Connie] Per favore.

-[delivery man] You Sue Landry? -[Sue] Oh my, thank you.

[Connie] Wow, who are those from?

Let's see.

[sighs heavily]

[man on recording] You're welcome.

-Uh, prego. -Prego.

[keys clicking]

[fast-paced percussive music]

Oh! [clears throat]

Sorry.

-Graham Landry? -Yes.

-Hi. Hey. -Hi.

We've got Graham Landry.

-Hey. -[Carla] Hi.

Nice to see you.

-Nice to be seen. -[all chuckle]

So, are you willing to shave for this one, Grizzly Adams?

Oh, yeah, sure.

And how's your brother?

-[Graham] Oh-- -Oh, my God.

-My mom loves his show. -Oh, who doesn't?

Will is such a charmer. And that is a good role for him.

[assistant] Uh-huh!

Okay. Should we start?

Sure. Uh, I'm reading with you, yes?

-[Carla] You read-- mm-hmm. -Yeah, okay, great.

[takes a deep breath]

[exhales softly]

I could really use a drink.

They don't serve alcohol. Family establishment.

All the more reason to serve alcohol.

[chuckles]

Okay, hold, cut. You know what?

Lose the smile.

We don't like it when men smile too much, right?

-Totally. -I know it seems counterintuitive,

but we just-- we don't trust it.

-It makes sense. -I mean,

I could get into the psychology of it, but it's stupid.

Look, I don't make the rules.

You're just the enforcer.

I didn't mean to smile just there.

-[phone rings] -[Graham] Hey.

[Will] Hey. Did you go to Mom's retirement party?

[Graham] No, I couldn't make it.

[Will] Oh, yeah, of course not.

You're too busy, right?

Did you rent the apartment yet?

Since you asked yesterday?

-Did you use my name? -Nope.

Have you had a chance to read my script?

Yes, and it's fucking great.

-Let's talk about it. -Oh, hey, uh,

the pipes need replacing.

[Will] Oh, no way.

-They're literally crumbling. -How much?

[Graham] Ten grand. I can get another estimate.

No, Graham, listen to me.

Rent the apartment. No less than 1,800, okay?

And use my name. People watch my show.

Don't even-- [muffled]

[call ending beep]

[hiss of inhale]

[gentle music]

[show narrator] Previously, on Winsome Falls...

Hon!

[Jerry] Oh, hey, I can't seem to find those Lawrence Avenue files.

They're in the new storage closet.

[Jerry] Shit. Yeah, of course. Yeah, you told me that.

-Um... -[Roy] Sue!

-Hang on. -[Jerry] Um...

Hey, did you get those flowers?

Jerry, listen.

[Roy] Show's on!

All right, I'm gonna let you go.

-All righty then. Uh-- -[Sue] Okay.

Bye-bye.

Don't call me.

[Will on TV] Honey, you're getting older,

but you can't just come and go as you please.

[Katie on TV] But none of my other friends have curfews.

-Their parents actually... -Why do I watch this show?

[Will on TV] Hey, I trust you.

[Katie on TV] No, clearly you don't.

[Will on TV] Katie, what's this really about?

Is it about prom?

[Katie on TV] No, it's not about prom.

-[Will on TV] What? -[Katie on TV] I feel like

I'm forgetting Mom's face.

-[Roy sighs] -[Katie on TV] People forget.

I just-- I don't wanna forget.

All you have to do is look in the mirror,

and mom will be there, looking right back at you.

[Katie on TV] I love you, Dad.

[Will on TV] I love you. So much.

Let's go get some ice cream.

-[Katie on TV] Sure. -[Will on TV] Okay.

Hey, sorry, I know it's early,

but I was hoping to see the apartment.

Dana Allen?

Graham Landry!

-[Graham laughs] -Hey!

Wow. Wow.

I-- Well, yeah, come-- Come on in.

I mean, that is, if you still wanna see the place, now that you know--

Oh, that the landlord's an asshole.

-Yeah. -Yeah, okay. Yeah, sure. Why not?

-Oh, my God, you're a chef. -Yeah.

Did I even know that? Where do you work?

Station House, for now.

Yeah, I've been meaning to get over there.

It's overpriced.

When was the last time I saw you?

-Hmm. -[floorboards creaking]

The floors squeak.

How long have you lived here?

Uh, pretty much forever.

My parents moved out of the city ten years ago,

and me and my brother bought the place.

Wait, this is your childhood home?

Yep, well, my brother bought it,

and I manage it, I guess you'd say.

[clears throat]

It's nice.

You still acting?

Ah.

-Wait, isn't your brother... -More successful?

-[Dana] What's his name? -Will Benson.

Yes.

There was already a Will Landry in SAG,

which is frightening to think that two exist in the world.

He walked out of one of your plays before intermission.

-Before intermission. Yeah. -[Dana] Yes.

And because I was the House Manager,

I was the one that got to chew him out.

Oh, I-- I never knew that.

-Thank you. -[Dana] I mean, it was my job.

-Is his show still on? -Exactly.

[chuckles wryly]

You were really good in that play.

[Graham] Hey, remember when Professor Carner told us

she was gonna give the whole class an F?

-As in "fuck you." Yes. -[both laugh]

She would so be fired today.

I think I've actually used that line before.

You have not.

Oh, you don't know me now. I'm pretty frightening.

[laughs] Whoa.

-That's gross. -Oh, oh!

[Graham] Who runs this place?

So, my last place went condo, and...

I've been crashing with a friend for the past two weeks.

So I'd be looking for something ASAP.

Uh-huh. And you're really interested?

-No, I'm just being nice. -Oh, okay.

Oh! Yeah. Okay.

Okay, so this is the part where you tell me how much the rent is.

Uh, yeah, uh, 1,200.

-Stop. -No, really.

-AC? -Yeah.

-Parking? -Uh, yeah,

you can have the whole garage once I clear it out.

-Um, I don't drive. -Jesus.

I know, I'm weird. I like my bike.

No, I mean, shouldn't you be charging more?

This is a lot of space.

Uh, yeah. Yeah, probably.

Yeah.

[Roy sighs]

[phone ringing]

[Sue] You want me to come help?

Uh, no, Mom, this is your time to do, you know, you stuff.

Well, remember to wash out...

[in unison] Your brushes and paint tray.

I know. Bye, Mom.

What are we doing this weekend?

[operator] 911, what's your emergency?

There's someone breaking into my house.

[operator] Are you in a safe location?

-[thud] -[Will] Ow!

[operator] Sir, are you there?

[Will] I can't see anything.

-[heavy thud] -Oh, damn it.

I'm sorry. It's a mistake.

-It's my brother. -[Will] Ow! Fuck! Fuck!

-[operator] Are you sure? -[Will] Graham, are you awake?

Yes, ma'am. I'm so sorry.

Um, thank you for everything you do.

-[floorboards creak] -[thud]

[Will] Ow! Come on!

Hey, man! Why was this light out?

That's very dangerous.

-What are you doing here? -I texted you.

It's midnight.

Well, I just hit my head,

so I'm probably gonna have to go to the ER.

[sighs] Oh, my God.

How much did you get for the place?

-1,200. -Ohh!

I didn't wanna lose them.

Did you tell them I'm on Winsome Falls?

-People love the show, Graham. -Uh-huh.

[sighs heavily]

How was your audition?

We don't have to talk about my audition.

-I wanna talk about it. -Well, it sucked.

Good night.

Graham.

-Graham! -[door clicks shut]

[knocking]

Graham.

Um, you know you're not supposed to go to bed

when you have a concussion, and I could easily have one.

So are you gonna come out and talk to me and keep me awake, or?

You're not jacking off, right?

[Katie on TV] Hey, Dad.

Honey, I wasn't expecting you.

Yeah, I was just in the area.

Well, let's face it, she's not the strongest actor.

-[Will on TV] Well, I'm glad to see you. -No, but she's grown.

Also, stop blaming your scene partner.

-I know. I do that. -Yeah. You do.

-See? See? Right here. -[Katie on TV] Dad, I'm not a little kid anymore.

I shouldn't have gone in for the hug so soon.

Why not?

Because she doesn't trust me yet.

She's your child.

[sighs] I can't believe they didn't fire me after the pilot.

Oh, my God, you've been saying that for five years.

I know, but every year I begged them for a decent storyline,

but they gotta make it about the fucking kids.

Well, it's a show about the kids.

Yeah, but I'm their dad, you know,

people wanna know what's up with the dad.

Like, remember that time I dated that math teacher?

That could've been a great storyline.

Oh, yeah, that was charming.

-Hey, how's Noah? -Oh.

Well...

Noah is Evie.

-What? -Yeah.

-She. -Oh!

-Wow. -Yeah.

Wow.

Wait, why didn't I know about this?

She just told me, like, a week ago.

Okay.

-How is she? -She seems great.

You know, she's finally happy.

-How are you? -If she's good, I'm good.

-Claudia? -Oh, Claudia doesn't talk to me.

[scoffs]

Like, at all.

So, uh-- [clears throat]

I should probably let you know,

um, Mom and Dad are coming.

What? Here?

-Yeah. -When?

-Tomorrow. -Why?

They wanna help me get the apartment ready.

Can't you just hire a fucking painter?

[Graham] I was trying to save money.

[groans]

Are they staying overnight?

-They usually do. -[Will] God--

[Graham] Is there a particular reason you don't wanna see them?

No.

-What? -Nothing.

Okay, I mean-- [clears throat]

I was supposed to call Dad back a few months ago.

He left me a message, and I just, you know, I forgot.

Did he need money?

-Yeah. -Oh, boy.

-What? -Do you think he's gambling?

[Will] No!

Shit, I hope not.

[sighs heavily]

What? I don't even know how to do this.

Do we have an air mattress? I'm gonna sleep downstairs.

Yeah, uh, how long are you gonna be here?

[Will] I don't know.

Okay, well, as long as you're out by Monday.

-When's the new person move in? -Monday.

Well, can you just call them?

[Graham] Why?

[Will] Okay, fine. I'll go to a hotel.

-No, don't. -No, it's fine.

You weren't expecting me. I'm happy to go to a hotel.

[sighs heavily]

All right, I'll-- I'll call them in the morning.

For real? Thank you.

-That's perfect. -[Graham] Okay.

Um, and I'm only gonna be here for, like, a week, tops.

Okay.

Can I ask you something? Like, for real?

Yeah.

[Will] Do you promise you'll answer honestly?

-Yeah, I-- I promise. -No, uh...

[sighs] Okay.

What did you think of the kayaking scene?

Like, athletically or artistically?

-Athletically. -[Graham] Well, you looked great.

-Ha. -[Graham] Yeah.

[gentle music]

[muffled rock music plays]

You always did treat Graham like a baby. A grown-up baby.

Yeah, well, not sure your parenting style's

a perfect ten, either, Great Santini.

I'm driving.

Remind me to never buy you flowers.

Why would you start now?

Ahh!

[snoring loudly]

[snoring, snorting]

Hey, Dana, it's Graham.

Graham Landry.

Uh, hey, give me a call when you can.

I wanted to ask you something.

No rush.

Well, somebody really wants to fuck somebody.

What? No.

Yes. It's fine.

I should, uh, get some food.

Um, text Dad to let you know when they're here,

so you can park the car.

Why don't they just park in the garage?

Well, the garage is full with all the stuff

from when the basement flooded.

Wasn't that, like, six months ago?

Well, yeah, I'm a shitty landlord.

[chuckles] Have you ever noticed how, like,

people move to the suburbs, and they just forget how to parallel park?

-It's so funny. -Will you just keep an eye out for them?

Yes, I said I would.

And maybe you can, you know, clean or something.

Never mind.

Oh, hey, uh, by the way,

-why are you here? -I told you.

[Graham] You told me nothing.

I just wanted to get out of LA for a little bit.

Hmm.

Air mattress!

Please.

-No, you didn't. -[Graham] Yes, I did.

[Sue] I-- I'm trying to concentrate, here.

Oh, get out.

[Sue] Oh, what? I was fine.

No, you weren't.

[Graham] Okay, I should let you know--

-Look who it is. -Aah!

-Hey! -Hey!

-Hello, stranger! -Look who's here!

-Look who it is. -Awww!

Look who it is. What a treat.

-Looking good, Hollywood. -Oh, my God.

-Good to see you. -Hey. You must be working out or what?

-No, not at all. No. -What's going on?

Nothing. I'm so glad to see you guys.

-[Roy laughs] -You tell me later.

-[Will] Come in here, come in here. -Okay.

-It's so good to see you! -[Will] Good to see you guys.

-Look how clean everything is. -[Sue] Oh my gosh, it's so clean.

[Will] Yeah. I've been working like a dog for so long.

This place was so messy. Oh, listen to this.

Graham has a crush on the new tenant.

-[Sue] Really? -[Will] Yes. Yes, absolutely,

-which could be a terrible-- -[Sue] Oh, for goodness sake.

-Who is it? -[Will] Oh, well, I don't know yet.

-[Sue] Oh. -[Will] But I'm gonna meet her.

So, supposedly, next season,

we're gonna find out a little bit more about Del.

You know, like some stuff about his past,

where he came from.

Why is he in Winsome Falls?

Oh, which episode will be Graham's?

Oh, yeah, that's-- that's not for sure yet.

Well, it better be for sure.

She's been telling the whole neighborhood.

What'd they think about it?

What? Oh, Graham's script?

-I gotta follow up. -Don't. It's fine.

[Roy] Well, that's just stupid.

[Sue] No, Graham, you're a good writer.

You don't want him to follow up?

-All right, Roy. -Look, do you want your story

on the goddamn show or not?

-Sure. -Well, don't tell me.

Tell him. Tell him!

Will, please follow up.

Yeah, I will. It's in the works.

[clears throat] Oh!

I got us tickets for that, uh, boat tour that you like.

You like that tour, right, Mom?

-No. -It'll be fun, we'll go, and--

Look, we got a lot of work to do.

-Just-- -Well, let's take a break,

and go out on the boat, and look at the buildings,

-and it's gonna be cool. -We haven't even started.

[Tammy] And the Wrigley Building was built to serve

as the headquarters for the Wrigley Corporation,

which was completed in 1921.

It is a perfect example of Italian Renaissance.

It was also the very first building in Chicago to have air conditioning.

-French. -What was that?

It's French Renaissance.

Oh, thank you. I didn't-- I didn't know that.

Ladies and gentlemen?

Yep, we have a celebrity on board.

-Ladies and gentlemen, Will Benson. -Oh, I'll call you right back.

Will, come on up here.

-This is so embarrassing. -I think he's coming up,

everyone, give him a round of applause.

-[applause] -[Will] Oh, thank you.

Oh, if you're gonna twist my arm. [chuckles]

Thank you, Tammy. Give it up for Tammy, our tour guide.

-[cheering, applause] -Doing a great job.

You know, on my television show, Winsome Falls,

Thursday nights at eight,

I have a TV family, but I'm here today with my real family.

My dad, Roy, and my mom, Sue,

and my personal hero, my little brother, Graham.

I call him Grammy.

He's a very talented writer, a great actor.

And, Graham, I wouldn't be where I am today without you, buddy.

-[tourists aww-ing] -[Will] I mean that.

I'm just really lucky to be blessed with a great family.

So, thank you, and thank you for having us.

-[horn blares] -[laughs]

Give it up for Chicago. Okay.

[applause]

[Tammy] Oh, my God!

[mellow rock music]

[♪]

You know, you might do yourself a favor

and hire somebody that can actually manage this place.

[Will] I don't know. I think...

I think Graham may have found his inspiration.

[chuckles] Marijuana?

[chuckles] No, more like a lady.

Hmm, okay.

You know, I meant to, um, to call you back.

[Roy] You know what, no problem.

You still need that money?

Well, you know, I mean, when you can.

So...

Sorry I didn't make it the other night.

Oh, it was small.

Oh, you know who came?

Lila. It was nice to see her.

Oh, redeeming herself for sending me on shitty auditions.

[laughs]

I'm not sure yet about Venice.

Mom, I think you should go to Venice.

Nah, that's a lot for two weeks.

You sure Dad doesn't wanna go?

-[laughs wryly] -Right.

Hey, listen, uh,

Don't tell your mother about the money, all right?

Tight-ass store won't give me a raise.

Yeah, I got ya.

[thuds, echoes]

The fuck?

Bug.

So, hey, dimmers, huh?

Tell me about her.

Uh, her name's Dana.

She's a chef.

You should invite her to dinner tonight.

[scoffs] Mom, she's a chef.

Maybe she has the night off.

No, I mean, I-- I don't wanna cook for a chef.

[sighs]

She's gonna be living here. It would be...

creepy to start dating or something.

[Graham sighs]

So, um...

Jerry grabbed me at the party.

[Graham] Wait, what?

He grabbed my breast.

He'd been drinking.

Oh, my God, Mom.

Yeah, I mean, I'm fine. I'm fine.

Don't tell your father, okay?

Okay. Yeah, I won't.

-[Sue] Don't tell him. -I won't.

I'm sorry, I just needed to tell you.

No, no, I'm glad you did.

[gentle music]

Phones, huh?

-[Will] Yes, I know. -Graham?

Mine's right there. Go ahead.

-Ah. Ah. -I know, I know.

-Okay. -Right.

-[Sue chuckles] -I know, everybody shut up. I--

Yes. Thank you.

[Sue] All right.

This looks so great.

-Yeah. Thanks, Mom. -Yeah.

-Buon appetito! -Yeah.

[♪]

I just wanted you guys to know...

The whole story, and...

She was cool with me telling you,

and if you guys have questions?

Um, well, what should we--

I-- What is her--

Her name is Evie.

-Oh, Evie. -[Will] Yeah.

[Roy] Well.

We always knew he was different.

Oh, my God.

What? I mean, a boy needs a father figure.

-What? -Really, Dad?

Well, I guess dinner is over.

[door buzzer]

I'm gonna answer that.

-Hey. -Hey.

-What's up? -Oh, I texted you.

Oh, I haven't looked at my phone.

Oh, um, my deposit.

Oh, you could have just paid me online.

Um, yeah, yeah, very true.

Honey, you know, your father.

-He can be a moron. -[Roy] I can hear you.

-[Will] Yeah. -Wait.

I thought you said you quit.

I'm sorry. I mean, I-- I did.

I-- I had.

I will.

Are you happy? You got him smoking again.

[Will] Don't tell on me. Don't tell on me.

[phone chimes]

Fuck.

[phone chimes]

[sighs]

Oh, my God.

Uh, oh, hey. I, uh, I put dimmers in.

I hope that's okay.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, who doesn't love dimmers, right?

-Really horrible people. Yeah. -Right.

Everything okay?

Yeah. My uh, my brother just took off.

-Of course. -Oh, your brother? He's here?

My parents, too. Things just got a little tense.

So how are you doing? Just, like, with all of this?

All of what?

When's the last time you checked your phone?

Uh, I don't know. A couple hours?

Okay, well,

I'd rather not be the person to show you this, but...

Um, somebody re-posted this.

My God.

This is making sense now.

[Dana] Sorry.

Hey, so, I think I'm gonna go.

Oh, yeah. Okay.

[Dana] Um...

unless...

do you wanna smoke?

[whirring]

[thuds]

[phone chimes]

Oh, for God's sake.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[sighs heavily]

[man] Moonshine! Hell, yeah!

[rowdy patrons shout and laugh]

He wants everybody to know he just won $5,000 on blackjack.

-What, on his phone? -Yeah.

-What site is that? -I have no idea.

[bar patrons chatter]

[rock music plays quietly]

I think I like writing better, to be honest.

-Surprising. -What is?

'Cause you're such a good actor.

Like, why wouldn't you get on that show?

Well-- [groans]

Oh, okay. Yep. I just remembered.

You are terrible at taking compliments.

[both laugh]

So you really have no idea what he did?

No, not more than what I saw on your phone.

Can we-- I'd love it if we could, you know, not talk about him.

I mean, tell me about you.

Like, what-- what have you been up to?

-Like, what's going on? -Yeah, um, okay.

So, about a year ago,

I realized that I was a hot-ass mess,

and that I was drinking too much.

So now I am off the sauce,

which is awesome when you work at a restaurant.

Wow, yeah, I could see where that would-- -Yeah.

-Yeah. -Mm-hmm. Yeah.

But, you know what, I'm mostly working lunch now,

so it's, like, it's easier.

Plus, you're more available for night stuff.

I am.

So, I hate to bring this up, but, um,

the reason I called this morning,

Is there any way we could delay your move-in date?

-Oh. -I'm-- I'm really sorry.

I just-- I don't know how long he's gonna stay now.

No, it's, uh, it's cool.

-Are you sure? -Yeah.

-Oh, shit. -Well...

Your father is at the bar.

Figured. [clears throat]

I need you to change Evie's name in my contacts.

-[Graham] Okay. -Hi. I'm Dana.

Oh. Sue.

Dana is her.

-Is that legal now? -Uh, yeah, it is.

-Okay. -Yeah.

Any word from your brother?

Uh, no.

[Sue] I've set up his bed.

Oh, Dana. You're moving in.

-I am. -[Sue] Ah. You went to school together?

[Dana] Mm-hmm. We did.

Did we see you in any of the shows?

Oh, no.

I thought I wanted to be a stage manager in junior year,

and then I realized I was gonna have to manage actors,

and I was like, hell, no.

So, um, then I dropped out, and I went to culinary school.

You know, carry on.

Uh, your father won't think to do that on his.

-Yeah, I'll take care of it. -Yeah.

Nice to meet you, Dana.

Nice to meet you, too.

[coughing]

[Dana] Wow.

[Graham laughs]

[Sue] Hi, honey.

No. Hi, Evie. It's Grandma.

Um... your Dad told us--

All right, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...

Um, your grandpa and I are in Chicago.

Your Dad's here, too.

And we all love you so much.

-We, um, are so proud of you. -[door bangs shut]

[Roy] Oh.

Oh! Ow!

Ah! Oh.

Your toothbrush is already in the bathroom.

-Well, where's my-- -Everything is in the bathroom.

-Oh-- -Go to the bathroom.

Okay. [clatters]

[Sue groans]

-[Roy mutters] -Carefully.

[Roy groans]

All right, I'm gonna get out of here.

Okay.

All right.

-Oh. -Okay.

I'm gonna cook for you sometime.

[Graham] Oh, you don't have to do that.

Really, that's the best you got?

Uh, thank you, Dana. That would be delightful.

Uh-huh. Good.

'Cause I hate cooking.

[Graham chuckles]

She's super cute, man.

I get it.

And I think she works out.

I'm glad to hear she pleases you physically.

Where are you going?

Why don't you ask her for a drink?

She wants to hang out.

Hey, can I talk to you about something?

[Graham] Nope.

I think Dad's gambling again.

He asked me for money.

Okay.

He didn't want Mom to know.

Well, he hasn't been able to work as much with his back.

What happened to the money that I gave him for the house?

-That was a lot of money. -[Graham] I don't know, Will.

Maybe focus on you for tonight.

[Roy grunts]

[Roy groans]

[Roy coughing]

[sighs]

I had a cigarette.

I had a marijuana.

What do you think he did?

Who knows?

Maybe she's just looking for attention.

Boost her career.

You think a woman would lie about that?

Well, all I'm saying is, we don't know the whole story.

All right, I can't have this conversation with you.

Let's just try to get some sleep.

I don't see how they can do the show without him.

That's what they said about Roseanne.

[sighs]

You can't ask Will for help right now.

-You know that, right? -I do.

You think you can get more hours at Miller's?

I can ask.

I can get a part-time job.

Ugh. Not the best time for me to retire,

but that's where we're at.

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

We'll be okay if we're smart.

We can be smart.

Good.

Good.

[pensive music]

[sighs heavily]

[sighs]

[sizzling]

[phone chimes]

[sighs]

[groans]

[sighs heavily]

This looks great, Mom.

I was gonna cook breakfast, but you beat me to it. [laughs]

Okay, so, I'm just gonna tell you what happened.

I had just finished a scene with Brianna, and, um,

it was a scene that she was very nervous about,

because she had to cry in the scene.

And, um...

you know, sometimes...

actresses get a little bit nervous when they have to cry,

and it becomes this whole thing,

that's all they think about, and--

What scene?

-What? Why does that matter? -For reference.

[Will] I don't know, man. [sighs]

The last episode, she's looking out over the lake,

and I go up, and I comfort her.

Interesting.

Proceed.

So she did a great job in the scene,

and I was really proud of her.

So-- [chuckles] I gave her a compliment.

And the whole thing just got really blown

out of proportion from that.

She was not offended at the time.

She was not offended, so...

You know, who knows,

if someone maybe coached her.

Coached her?

Like who?

[Will] I don't know.

[Graham] To what end?

I don't know.

Did you touch her?

No. Jesus, Dad, no.

What was the compliment?

Well, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Was it the older one or the middle one?

Yeah, the older one.

Well, that's better, I guess.

[Will] No, Dad, there's no better.

Nothing-- Nothing happened.

What was the compliment?

I don't remember.

It was something about the scene.

You don't remember?

All right, I'm gonna go mow the backyard.

Mom.

So, you don't believe me?

I guess I don't.

But who knows? Maybe she was looking for attention. Right, Roy?

I should add that, um, she's been a little flirty lately.

You should probably include that in your press statement.

That's not helpful.

Have there been any others?

-What? -Women, dumbass.

No. Zero.

So how long are you gonna stay... here?

You know what? I don't need this.

I'm gonna go make a phone call.

Well, I cooked. I'm not cleaning.

-[LeAnn on video call] You don't remember anything? -No.

You don't remember saying that she did so well in the scene that she turned you on?

What? No. No way.

Maybe you meant that she was so good that she made you better.

That's when her good acting turned your good acting on.

[LeAnn] A crew member overheard it.

-[Will scoffs] Who? -It doesn't matter.

Chad? Was it Chad?

The sound guy. He fucking hates me.

Well, that's not all they overheard.

Wha--

They overheard you invite her back to your trailer.

For a drink.

That is something that we do sometimes, the cast.

I remembered that I had a split of champagne in my trailer.

I thought it would be nice to celebrate the scene and that she just turned 21.

But you can see how the two things together might be a problem for us.

-You know what? I'm gonna call her. -Absolutely not.

-Right now, I'm gonna call her. -I wouldn't.

Yes. I'm gonna call her and talk to her.

Will, put the phone down.

[sighs]

-[cell phone ringing] -I-- Uh... oh, God.

Hang on, hang on, hang on. [sighs]

Hi, honey. I'm so happy to see your face.

Dad, what is going on?

Um, I'm just-- I'm in the middle of something right now.

Can I call you right back?

-I guess, but-- -Yeah.

-Dad-- -I'm gonna call you right back. I love you so much.

[Will sighs]

Can you please handle this

and just make it go away?

Hey, kid.

-What are you-- -The door was open. You should watch out for that.

How about that brother of yours?

I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that shit storm.

I brought a baguette.

Why are you here?

I got a very interesting email this morning, Graham.

You wanna hear about it?

-I booked a film? -What do you think?

-No. -No.

However, apparently you left my name as a contact number

on some spec script you gave some producers a while back.

Yeah? Wait.

Well, you should let your agent know about these things,

'cause the short of it is they wanna acquire your script.

Do you have any butter?

-You're kidding. -Take a look.

What about a plate?

I was thinking, "Finally. Bingo!"

Now I understand why you've been so indifferent about your acting career.

-You're a writer. -"Juggling some story changes and his script points the show

in a direction we're very excited about."

-Mm-hmm. -It's probably the only script they have

that doesn't include the Del character,

and the business trip idea gives a lot of room

-for what could've happened to him. -He could be missing.

-He could get murdered. -There could be a whole season about what happened to him.

[Will clears throat]

What, when were you gonna tell me about this?

This is so awesome! Thank you!

Fuck, Graham.

You didn't put me in your script?

Uh, I thought you read it.

I mean, I started it.

You gave it to the producers without reading it?

I didn't think my own brother

was gonna write me off my own show.

Wait. How do you explain where I am?

Look, nobody's getting written off, okay?

He flies to Atlanta for a job interview.

-But Del loves his job. -Yeah, Del loves his job.

[Graham] He's not gonna take the job, okay?

This-- this university has been pursuing him,

and he thinks, you know, he owes it to himself to at least see it out.

Okay. So I'm gonna get on a plane, leave my three kids, fly to Atlanta to "see it out."

Katie's 18. She's very responsible.

Maybe it's time for Del to realize that.

You're not her dad. I'm her dad.

Will, you hate that show! Go out in a blaze of glory.

-Butch Cassidy, Sundance Kid. -Thelma and Louise.

Um...

I think I better get going.

Three's a crowd.

Call me later.

-Thelma and Louise! -They die in that movie.

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

Do you have any idea...

the pressure I've been under the past few years to finance all of your lives?

I'm happy to do it. But it's stressful.

[Graham] I don't know what to do.

And I really hope those guys don't make a big deal about it

when they find out that you're my brother.

-Fuck. -'Cause you never know what's gonna set those fuckers off.

But at least you know you got what it takes

You can act and you can write.

Shit, man.

Good for you.

[Graham] Look, you got it too.

What about that short you wrote and directed a couple years ago?

Yeah, what'd you think about that?

[Graham] Um...

Okay. Now what?

-They're writing me off the show. -[Graham] Oh, come on.

They're just interested in the script.

They're just covering their bases for now.

And now Mom's mad at me. Fuck!

You know how she loves telling everybody that I'm on TV?

She's gonna take this really hard.

Stop! Look, take six months off. Bulk up a little.

Then if you play your cards right,

you might be able to do, uh, an action movie or a Western.

Dad, they don't cast Americans in Westerns anymore.

The point is initiative.

Now let's go out and do some drinking. What do you say?

-No, I should not be going out. -Yeah, you should.

Okay, I will.

[Graham] Should she be doing that?

Well, I'm not gonna tell her to stop.

Oh. [exclaims]

-[hoop clatters] -Sue!

Oh.

Jesus Christ, are you all right?

-Oh, my God. -Oh, my goodness.

-What, are you making house calls now? -Oh, God.

-[Graham] Dad. Dad! No. Not in the house. -[Will] Yeah, that's gross.

Oh, come on, ladies. Don't get your panties in a wad.

-[cell phone ringing] -[Will] Graham...

would you please come out with us?

I just-- I gotta-- I gotta take this.

Come on. We'll get you a baseball cap.

-[Graham] Hey. Hi. -[Dana on phone] Hey.

[Graham] I was just thinking about you.

What are you doing tonight?

-[connection faltering] -Uh, Dana?

Uh, you're going in and out.

You should know the stairs are the worst possible place to talk on the phone.

-[Dana] So what do you think about that? -Think about what?

Um, about meeting me at the restaurant and going to hear the band?

-Hello? -That sounds great. Cool. Yes.

Hey, um, something really exciting happened to me.

I wanted to tell someone. Well, I wanted to tell you.

Dana?

Fuck.

Dana, are you there?

-Dana? -[Phil] Mr. Landry.

[Graham] Oh, shit.

Hey, thanks again for coming to the party.

-Oh, it was my pleasure. I had so much fun. -[cell phone chimes]

-Sorry. -No, no. What's going on?

-Oh, it's fine. -[call phone chimes]

Sorry, sorry.

[exhales]

-Are you sure you're all right? -Yeah. Yeah. Everything's good.

-All right, I'll leave you to it. -Okay. Good to see you.

Will you call me sometime?

Hey, actually, Lila.

What are you doing right now?

What do you have in mind?

You never called me back.

Is that right?

-Are you getting the work done? -Absolutely.

You seem like a nice guy.

But you strike me as someone who drags his feet. Am I right?

Find somebody else. I don't care. But that work needs to be done.

I don't want you to suffer what comes with further neglect.

Thank you. I hear that.

-Do you? -I do.

[Phil] All right.

-I'm walking away. -Okay.

-I've said my piece. -Mm-hmm.

I'll sleep better tonight.

You know, melatonin works for me.

Fuck melatonin. Fix your pipes.

Hey, you're coming with us, right?

-[Graham] Nope. -Come on, man.

I'm not mad about the script.

Great. I'm meeting Dana at her restaurant.

Okay, cool. That sounds awesome.

I would really appreciate it if you would come with us.

But I don't-- I don't want to.

Look, Dad invited Jerry without telling me, so if you don't mind--

Jerry? Then that's a definite no.

-Come on, he's not that bad. -[Graham scoffs]

What?

Nothing.

What?

Jerry...

grabbed Mom at a retirement party.

-What? -Yeah.

Like, grabbed her.

Don't tell Dad.

-Piece of shit. -Yeah!

-There he is. -Yep.

Let's get him.

[percussive music]

Hey, Dana. You look great.

"I love your shirt." Thank you. Thanks. It's blue.

[exhales] She's just a person. You're a person. She's a person.

You got this.

[exhales]

[♪]

[Sue] Hello? Hello?

[♪]

This house no good.

Hello?

Oh! Hi.

[♪]

[hushed] Maureen's here.

-Okay. -She's staging for me.

Oh, uh, hey, ladies. Last call for the open houses.

Uh, no, they're with me.

Ah! Hi, Maureen.

Hi, Sue! I told Jerry to tell you,

but don't worry about bringing anything on Friday.

Oh, we won't be making it Friday.

Oh. Rain check?

No.

It must be really difficult with the... allegations.

It all seems really unfair.

Oh, yeah? Which part?

Uh, well, I should go.

Jerry's making me work on my day off, so.

I know the feeling.

[laughing]

She does.

[man] Hey.

Aaron. You're Graham?

-Yep. -Compliments of Dana.

Oh, hey, just so you know, totally cool for her to crash my place a bit longer.

Okay. Yeah. Thanks for being so flexible.

Anything for Dana.

So you knew her in college, huh?

Yeah, I-- I did, yeah.

[Aaron] What was she like?

[Graham] Uh...

She's always been great.

Yeah. Well, there's no one like her.

[chuckles]

What do you wanna talk about?

You need to stop calling me.

Roy texted me and wants me to meet him.

Roy has never once asked me to hang out.

I just wanna know what I'm walking into.

I-- I'm leaving. Don't call me.

Let's go!

You have to take it. Maureen already knows I got it for you.

Tough shit.

[♪]

[knocking]

[♪]

America is hungry for a good old-fashioned wholesome family TV show, you know?

[Will] Thank you so much. That's really nice. Thank you.

[Jerry] Yeah. So good.

All right. Cut to the chase time.

[Jerry clears throat]

I need you to give Sue her job back.

I mean, and do me a favor. Sweeten the pot a little bit, you know?

I mean, like, give her another week vacation.

I mean, she deserves that.

I already hired a girl.

Tell her there's a change of plans.

-[Will] Dad... -I can't.

-Dad. Dad. -Look, look. Truth is,

had she known about Will's situation,

she probably would've worked another year or two.

Um...

no can do, pal.

Oh, my goodness, will you look at that?

Hey, sweetheart?

-[Will] Okay. -[Jerry] Another round?

Thanks.

[Will] That guy sucks.

-Thank you so much. -Yeah.

He'll come around.

Dad, does Mom know you're doing this?

Why?

I mean... maybe just let it go.

Mom doesn't wanna work for Jerry anymore.

-What do you mean? She worked for Jerry for 32 years. -Let her have that.

Maybe she wants to travel the world and see shit, or get back into singing.

Wait, what? Wait a minute. What's going on?

Jerry grabbed Mom at the retirement party.

Grabbed how?

-Like, grabbed. -[Roy grunts]

I promised I wouldn't tell you, but...

Okay, see? I shouldn't have said anything.

Jerry wasn't even supposed to come out with us.

It's supposed to just be me and you.

Get a hold of yourself, will ya?

[Will] I'm gonna go take a leak.

-[Will] Hey. -[Jerry] Hey, hey, uh...

-Will... -[scoffs]

He all right?

What are we drinking to?

[country music playing]

[cheering]

You should've looked in the bag.

-No way. -That man had the look of desperation.

There was something expensive in there.

-So you sell it on the eBay. -Yeah, sell that shit on eBay.

Thank you, Olga. That's what I was saying.

-I wish I'd seen his face. -No, you wouldn't.

Eh, you're right. I see enough of his stupid face.

[Sue] Yeah, I needed to say something to him.

-[Lila laughs] Yeah. -[man] Sue Landry.

Are you out there somewhere?

-Oh! -What's going on?

-Sue is singing! -No, Sue is not singing.

Lila used to rep the guitarist. They're conspiring against me.

[man] Well, I heard you know one of my favorite old songs,

so you need to get on up here now.

-Get on up there! -I don't even know what song he's talking about.

-Yes, you do. -I don't remember the words.

Yes, you do. Yes, she does.

Come on, now. You don't wanna break my heart.

-[Lila] Ohh! -[Olga] Drink!

[Lila] Yeah, drink, drink, drink.

-Now move your ass. -I'm gonna get you for this.

[chanting] Sue! Sue! Sue!

[all chanting] Sue! Sue! Sue! Sue!

[crowd cheering]

-Hey, do you need a hand with that? -Oh, I'm good.

I love your show.

Oh, come on. For real? -[laughs] Yeah.

-Thank you. That's so nice. What's your name?

-Uh, Maggie. -Maggie. Will.

Will. You're, like, the perfect dad.

-People say that. -[both chuckling]

It's too bad you're such a fuckin' dick.

I'm not the dick. You're the dick.

Hey, Evie.

Hi, sweetie.

-Hi. -It's Grandma. Hi.

Graham. I've been calling you.

It's really rude when people don't pick up.

What are you doing here? Where's Dad?

[sighs] That's a long story.

Oh, man. He's calling me again.

Well, maybe you should answer it.

No way. Where are you coming from, a Sears audition?

Wow.

There is something very hot about a woman in charge.

Wait a second. Who's this douche?

[Graham] Aaron.

[Will] Aaron? McConaughey's short little brother?

-This fucking guy. -[Graham] All right.

What is she laughing at? He's not funny. You're funny.

-What-- -Stop staring.

-Don't talk to him. Stop talking to him. -Just-- Stop-- stop it!

-Stop talking to Aaron! -Stop staring.

-Stop staring at them. -I'm not. I'm not, I'm looking.

-I'm staring at you staring at them. -I'm not!

-Stop staring at me! -Look down. Look down.

[Will sighs]

Hey. Okay, talk to me.

-Are you on coke? -No, I don't do that shit anymore.

Look, man, I wanna have a real conversation with you right now.

Okay. Do it.

I wanna leave.

-I think that would be stupid. -I know! Help me.

What-- what am I even doing here?

All right, calm down. First of all...

-put this on. -No.

-Yes. -No.

-Put it on. -No!

-Stop it! Stop it! -Stop.

Put your hand in the thing. Have you never worn a jacket before?

Now look at you. You look like a man.

-Okay. -Okay.

In your right-hand pocket, there's a small bump of cocaine--

-Oh, my God. -That I don't do anymore, okay?

Don't think. Go to the bathroom, it'll take the edge off.

Don't think, Graham. Do it.

-I hate you. -I love you.

So, where is he?

Oh, honey, I don't know.

All right. I have some leftover pasta.

-[Evie] I'm fine. -I can make you a sandwich.

-You've gotten so tall. -[Evie chuckles]

Hey.

You want a sip?

I'm 16.

Well, I used to let your father have sips when he was your age.

How'd that turn out?

I'm sorry.

How long have you been driving?

-Six months. -Wow.

-Have you thought about schools? -You don't have to do this.

-Do what? -Make up for him.

[indie rock playing over speakers]

[clears throat] Hi.

-Hi. -Hi, I'm Graham's brother.

We all know who you are. You can't be back here.

Oh, for real? This will only take a minute.

Okay. Um, let's just go over here.

Okay. Wow, it's so hot back here.

-Yeah. Mm-hmm. -It's crazy.

-So what's up? -So, listen, um, my brother Graham, he really likes you.

-Mm-hmm. I like your brother. -Yes!

But I don't think you should move in.

-Okay. -Here's why.

He does this thing where he'll put roadblocks in his path to success,

and him wanting you to move in is just another example of that.

Because really, deep down, he understands that you don't wanna shit where you eat, right?

-Mm-hmm. -That's a bad metaphor. Sorry.

Mm-hmm. Okay. So I shouldn't move into an apartment

that I wanna live in 'cause your brother has a crush on me?

Could be more than a crush.

Okay. I'm down a cook and I'm really busy,

-so I'm gonna get back to work. -Mm-hmm.

-So we good here? -Yes. Sorry.

-Okay. Yeah, no worries. -Sorry, guys.

-[Dana] All right. Thank you. -Sorry, guys.

Everything smells great, by the way.

I'm a big fan of... restaurants.

Hey. Wow, that's a cool tattoo. Where'd you get that?

You know what? I don't care. I don't know why I even asked.

[♪]

-[ice shaking] -Dear God.

Holy shit.

You know what I like most about her tits?

Everything. Look at 'em. They're like little lemons.

They just fit perfect in my hand--

Hey, what the fuck?

Yeah, Roy! What the fuck?

-Ow! -How's that for a fucking lemon?

Ah! Fuck!

Does your mother know you're here?

Not really.

Call your mother.

[Evie] She won't understand.

-No, no. Call her. -Grandma, don't! Please.

I'll call her.

Didn't even know you had her number.

Oh, I'm full of surprises.

Hey, Evie?

Why are you here? Really.

I need $30,000 for affirmation surgery.

-Okay. -And...

I'm sorry to have to tell you this now,

-but I'm messing with you, Grandma. -Oh!

-You can relax. -[laughs]

You had me.

-[chuckles] -[cell phone ringing]

[groans]

-Jerry, I told you not to call me-- -[Jerry] He hit me!

Roy hit me. A few times.

-Where is he? -I don't know. He left.

What bar, Jerry?

[percussive music]

Get in!

[crickets chirping]

[water dripping]

[Graham] Fuck.

[cell phone ringing]

-Hey. -[Dana on phone] Hey. So, I'm here.

I'm ready to go out.

You're not here.

[Graham] Sorry.

[Dana] What's going on?

I can't talk right now.

So I should just hang up, then?

Sure.

[call ends]

[screaming]

[Will] The shit?

Hey. What the hell happened to you, man? Why'd you leave?

What are you, twelve?

Evie's here.

Who?

Oh.

How does he look?

What?

What?

-What are you doing? -[Graham] What does it look like I'm doing? I'm throwing you out.

-Okay, except it's my house. -[Graham] Yeah.

Doesn't make sense on paper, but I just did some coke at your urging, so.

Okay. Just stop, please.

No. Dana is moving in on Monday. The end.

How about instead of her moving in, you just ask her out?

Oh, you mean break a contract so I can date the tenant?

We could get sued for that, Will.

Or maybe-- maybe that's, like, your thing, you know,

being inappropriate, or misconduct, or whatever the fuck it was.

Okay, Graham, stop, okay? Dana likes you.

-What? -Yeah, I talked to her.

She's, like, really into you.

Look, do me a favor, okay?

Do not talk to her ever again. Don't even mention her name.

I'm not-- I'm not taking dating help from some guy who preys on women.

I'm not a... "preyer."

[Graham scoffs] Just stop it. It's embarrassing.

And it's "predator."

Okay, you're a 42-year-old man

that still has Mommy come over to mow the grass.

-You do need help. -Why are we acting like any of this is about me?

Because it is about you.

Why is it that when anything, anything is going

even remotely right in my life,

you're right around the corner to fuck it all up?

-Again, that's you. -No, Will, it's you!

Have you even told your daughter what really happened?

Because I'm sure she, like the rest of us, is pretty fucking curious!

I'm telling you right now...

[Graham] I'm talking about Evie, by the way. Your real-life kid,

not the one you're paid to pretend you love and then try to fuck.

Fuck you, you fucking asshole.

-You fucking baby! -[both grunt]

[Roy] I went to see Jerry to get your job back.

-You did what? -I had to do something.

So you went behind my back?

Well, you went behind mine,

with the vacations and what he did to you.

You have completely lost your mind.

Look, why didn't you tell me what he did to you at the party?

Why did you go behind my back? Why did you hit him?

You want me to just let it slide?

Let what slide? I handled it.

No, you hitting him was about you.

You know, you not telling me really makes me wonder.

-What? -If this has ever happened before...

-Oh, my God. -...and what the hell is going on over at that place, huh?

Tell me something. Is this the only time that Jerry has done that?

That-- I mean, I--

You know, gambling is online, you know, and--and, uh,

I had the damn thing downloaded and everything,

and I-- I had to do something, and...

that's why I called Jerry.

I was just trying to help. Us.

[distant yelling, thumping]

The hell is that?

[overlapping arguing, grunting]

-You fucking-- You-- -[Sue] What on Earth?

-Boys! Stop it! -All right, that's enough!

-Boys! -Let them work it out.

No, they're killing each other!

-[Will grunting] -[Graham exclaims]

You hit your mother, dumbass!

-I didn't mean to. -[Will] Mom.

No, I'm fine!

-You fucking dumbass! -Dad! Stop!

Honey... how are you here?

Are you sure you're okay?

I can't believe this is my family.

[Will breathing heavily]

If this is any example of being a man,

I don't blame you for wanting to be a girl.

-Uh-- -Come on, let's put ice on it.

[Claudia on video call] I'll fly up this afternoon.

Mom, I drove all the way here myself. I can drive back.

[Claudia] What part of this feels like a discussion to you?

[Evie sighs]

Honey, can I ask...

what did you want from him?

I don't know.

[Claudia] You drove eight hours, and you don't know?

I guess I wanted a fight?

But they were already fighting, so.

[Claudia] You haven't spent a whole lot of time with them in a while.

So it may take them some time, you know, to, like, get it.

-Evie? -Grandma wants to say hi.

Oh. Uh, hi, Claudia.

Hi, Sue.

Why don't I drive back to Nashville with her?

-Grandma, you don't have to. -No, I want to.

[Claudia] Sue, are you sure?

Yeah, sure I'm sure. Girls' road trip.

[Claudia] That would be amazing.

But you have to stay for a few days.

I think I'd like that.

-Bye, Mom. I'll text you when I get there. -[Claudia] Love you, honey.

I'm gonna kill you when you get here.

[Evie] Sounds good.

How's your...

Oh, um, I'm-- I'm fine.

Where's Grandpa?

I'm not sure.

Any word from your dad?

Nope.

Good morning.

-He seems good. -[chuckles]

-That's pretty. -[Evie] Thank you.

Um, what's your style?

Okay, perfect. You want it between 32 and 35, so that's great.

So, um...

I'm guessing you didn't get what you wanted out of this trip.

[chuckles] Is this the uncle talk?

Sorry. Yeah.

-Should've warned you. -I can roll with it.

I'm really sorry you had to see that with me and your dad last night.

[Evie] It's-- it's whatever.

Also, what Grandpa said?

I hope you know that's not how the rest of us feel.

It's actually-- it's probably not even how he feels.

Like, at all.

-He can... -Suck.

Yes, he can suck.

Runs in the family, I guess.

-Here. -Oh, no, keep it. It's yours.

Thanks.

[Graham] Uh... hey.

Mom's inside.

These are for you, Evie.

Uh, last night...

was, um--

wasn't a very good night for me.

I'm sorry.

Thank you, Grandpa.

[tender music]

I'm, uh, driving back with Evie.

-[Roy] To Nashville? -Yep.

I left her things upstairs.

Well, I'll go with you, help out with the drive.

We'll be fine.

Okay, but call me when you get there,

-let me know you made it okay. -Okay.

[Roy] Hey, did you check the tire pressure?

We did.

[Sue sighs]

-Is everything okay? -Yeah. Everything's fine.

You know what I think?

I think we need to stop wasting time.

[♪]

I'm gonna go try to make some sense out of that garage.

Mind if I smoke in there?

Go crazy, Dad.

It's good she sing again.

Huh?

Yesterday. She sing at pub.

-In front of people? -Many people.

They tell her, "Come back, sing again."

[humming]

Excuse me.

[Olga continues humming]

[intense music]

-Hey. -Let me see the damage.

I need you to do something for me unrelated to plumbing.

I need you to take me somewhere.

It's important. It's an emergency.

-Worse than a flooded basement? -Possibly.

Uh, 1625 West Catalpa.

Dana! Hey, hi!

Hey.

-[Dana] Hey. -Hey.

-I'm so sorry about last night. I am-- -You're having a week.

-Yeah, I'm having a week. -Yeah, I know.

But that's not why I'm here. I--

I really like you, and I-- I wanna spend more time with you.

Look...

I should tell you, I've been really stuck the last couple years

in, like, every way.

And I don't know, something about seeing you last night,

it just really threw me off, you know? You in your element.

Okay, well, um, I should let you know that I'm a reformed drama seeker,

so I really have to decide if it's you

or if it's the drama that I'm so drawn to.

-Seriously, I am so boring. -Oh, no.

I don't know about that. I don't know.

Well...

when can you let me know?

Um, I see my therapist at noon.

-Noon today? -Yes, noon today.

Okay. Okay.

[gentle music]

-Just wanted to give you something to talk about

-for your session. -Thanks.

Well, I'm always concerned

about getting my money's worth, so.

-Yeah. -Thank you.

[♪]

But I do have some real family shit that I need to talk about as well, so.

-Yeah, no idea what that's like. -Oh, I'm sure.

[Aaron] Get it, Dana!

-Hey, Graham. -Hi, Aaron.

Okay. I should-- I should probably go.

Okay.

Okay. All right.

[Phil] That was real cute!

Thanks. Thanks for sticking around.

[Graham sighs]

Where to now, Romeo?

Uh... what do you say you let me take you out for breakfast?

Mmm. I eat breakfast at home before I go to work.

-Like a normal person. -Huh.

-Smart. -Yeah.

-[engine starts] -You love her.

-You kissed her on the mouth. -I might. I did. I did.
