Hi, mom.
Oh, hi!
Oh, I missed you.
Did you have fun?
- Yeah.
Good.
What--what happened
to your shirt?
What is--
Oh, I must have torn it
on something.
Take it off.
Let's take it off.
Take it off.
Take it off.
Go ahead.
I'll fix it.
There you go.
Put that on.

Hi.
So how's everything?
Great.

No, that is--
Joanne, I don't want it.
I appreciate it,
but thank you.
No, no, you guys
have done enough already.
John, take it.
Please, I don't--no.
Look, look, take it.
Okay?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
We come to the lines
across the eyes.
Mary,
Look who's here.
Hi.
- Hello, you.
Hi, beautiful.
Hi. Hi.
Oh, gosh.
Hi.
Look at--
That is so beautiful.
No, it's not.
It's only my--
my third television class.
I'm learning portraits.
Well, it's beautiful.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Thank you for taking care
of my baby.
Well, of course.
You know,
I thought about keeping him,
But I think he got sick of me
catching all the fish, huh?
Besides, I think
you would have missed him.
Yeah.
You have to go?
I do, yeah.
- So soon?
I've got
that 4:00 meeting.
I'll say good-bye.
I can make you a sandwich--
Very important meeting?
Take that off.
Go get your bag.
Honey, I wish I could,
but I really can't.
I've got a 7:00 flight,
So I probably should
hit the road.
Yeah, because
we could visit and...
Oh, I'd love to visit.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Okay.
- Okay.
Do you want me to make you
something for the road?
Oh, no, I'm fine.
Say hello to Bill and Jimmy
and Ally, all right?
I love you.
I love you too.
Thank you.
John, we can't keep
coming out here like this.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
I didn't realize
she called you guys again.
Let me go talk to her.
Sorry, guys.
It's still happening,
isn't it?
The doctors have her
on a new medication.
She's getting better.
Go to bed.
Mary.
I made Chris meat loaf
sandwiches for lunch tomorrow.
He loves meat loaf sandwiches.
Did they check for footprints
underneath the window?
Yes, they checked.
You are sure?
No footprints?
Yes, I'm sure
there's no footprints.
Okay.
So you glad to be back?
Yeah, but there's fish
everywhere in alaska.
And you're not going to believe
what we used for bait.
What?
Fish eggs.
They smell nasty.
But not as bad
as that squid we used.
Worse.
My cousin Ally freaked out,
So I threw it at her
and her friend.
Oh, my gosh.
Hey, I got
to tell you something, man.
Your shoe's untied.
Got you.
No, seriously,
Your shoes are untied.
Hey, I'll see you
at lunch, man.
Okay, see you.
Sorry.
I didn't mean to startle you.
Bye, honey.
They were just working
