That's wonderful.
I mean, I'm sorry
about you and Sam.
It's just,

Speaking of which,
how is that going?

I'm just gonna stay
with a friend
until I can find my own place.

- I'm sorry.
I already told Mom that,

your house is way too far
from work and school.
And you know, I have a really
demanding lab at 8:00 a.m.
in the morning,
and there's no way
that I could go there
and back three times a week.

I saw a deli around the corner.

- I have been meaning
to tell you...
- Yeah?
- I signed the paperwork
yesterday.
The house is officially sold.
- That's good, yeah.
We can finally pay back all
those people that Dad wronged.
- And pay for you
to finish grad school.

that's the whole reason
Dad took all that money
from those people.
- I know that... now.
But there's enough money
from the sale
of that house to do both.
And I know that's what
your father would have wanted
more than anything.
