[SIGHS] SOPHIA.

I WISH MR. FIX-IT WOULD
FINISH FIXING THAT DISHWASHER.



THE DISHES ARE
PILING UP LIKE CRAZY.

BLANCHE, WE COULD WASH THEM.

BEFORE DISHWASHERS, PEOPLE DIDN'T JUST
EAT AND WIPE THE DISHES ON THEIR PANTS.

I USED TO LOVE WASHING DISHES.

IN MINNESOTA, THE WHOLE FAMILY
WOULD GET TOGETHER AND WASH DISHES.

EVEN UNCLE GUSTAF, AFTER THE
GIANT SWISS ARMY KNIFE ACCIDENT,

LEARNED TO DRY
DISHES WITH HIS FEET.

WE USED TO LAUGH AND
HAVE SUCH A HAPPY TIME.

WHAT IS IT WITH YOU? YOU
ONLY HAD HAPPY TIMES?

IT'S SICKENING. HAPPY
TIMES FREEZING IN THE COLD,

HAPPY TIMES DURING A LOCUST
INVASION, HAPPY TIMES EATING REINDEER.

DEATH? DID YOU HAVE
HAPPY TIMES THEN?

WELL, YES, ACTUALLY, WE DID.

WE COULD GET TOGETHER AND
REMEMBER OTHER HAPPY TIMES.



SHE'S BEGINNING TO GET TO ME.

MA.

IN SICILY, WE WASHED
OUR DISHES IN THE RIVER.

- [DOORBELL]
- I HOPE THAT'S MR. FIX-IT.

WE USED TO BEAT THEM
AGAINST THE ROCKS.

NO, SOPHIA. YOU BEAT THE CLOTHES
ON THE ROCKS, NOT THE DISHES.

NO WONDER THEY BROKE.

OKAY, WHO WANTS TO GO SHOPPING?

IT'S EARLY FOR THAT, RENEE.

THEN WE'LL EAT. SHOPPING
OR EATING. TAKE YOUR PICK.

- YOU DIDN'T TALK TO HIM.
- I COULDN'T.

GEORGE WAS ON CALL ALL WEEKEND.

THREE HEART ATTACKS, A STROKE,

TWO ANEURYSMS
AND A SPASTIC COLON.

SOUNDS LIKE A GUY I
PLAY CHECKERS WITH.

- HI, RENEE.
- HI, ROSE.

- YOU'LL TALK TO HIM TONIGHT?
- I WILL TRY.

RENEE.

IT'S CRAZY, BUT HOW
CAN I BOTHER HIM? HE'S

DOING ALL THIS IMPORTANT
STUFF. SAVING LIVES.

I'M GONNA BOTHER HIM
BECAUSE I'M UNHAPPY?

RENEE, JENNY JUST
LEFT FOR COLLEGE.

ALL YOUR KIDS ARE GONE.

THIS IS A PERFECTLY
LEGITIMATE PROBLEM.

THE EMPTY-NEST
SYNDROME. WHEN I HAD IT, I

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
I WAS VERY DEPRESSED.

BY THE TIME I FIGURED IT OUT, I WAS
GONNA TELL CHARLIE, BUT HE DIED THAT NIGHT.

I WAS SO FULL OF GRIEF, I FORGOT TO
BE DEPRESSED ABOUT THE EMPTY NEST.

I NEVER HAD THAT
EMPTY-NEST DEPRESSION.

I COULDN'T WAIT
FOR MY KIDS TO GO.

I GOT DEPRESSED WATCHING THEM GROW
OLDER 'CAUSE IT MEANT I WAS GETTING OLDER.

THEY WERE LIKE NOISY
LITTLE CALENDARS.

THE MINUTE THEY
ENTERED HIGH SCHOOL,

I TOLD EVERYBODY THEY WERE MY
HUSBAND'S FROM A PREVIOUS MARRIAGE.

AND YOU WONDER WHY
THEY'RE IN THERAPY.

MAYBE I SHOULD GO INTO THERAPY.

AT 2AM, WAITING FOR
GEORGE TO COME HOME,

I CALLED A RADIO TALK SHOW WITH A
SOLUTION TO THE MIDDLE EAST CRISIS.

GIVING THE
PALESTINIANS GREENLAND?

YOU HEARD IT?

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS
YOU. YOU WERE GREAT.

GIVING THE
PALESTINIANS GREENLAND?

IT'S A BIG PLACE.
NOBODY USES IT.

YOU'D TAKE DESERT PEOPLE
AND PUT THEM IN ICE AND SNOW?

WITH THE PROPER
CLOTHES, THEY'LL BE FINE.

RENEE, LISTEN, YOU WANNA TALK, DON'T
CALL A TALK SHOW. TALK TO YOUR HUSBAND.

BLANCHE, AT THE HOSPITAL
THEY CALL HIM ST. GEORGE.

I'M MARRIED TO A SAINT AND I
TELL HIM TO WORK LESS, I'M LONELY?

DON'T YOU THINK ST. FRANCIS OF
ASSISI'S WIFE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM?

DON'T YOU THINK SHE SAID,
"FRANK, ENOUGH DONKEYS"?

SO WHAT, I ASK GEORGE TO
CUT BACK ON HIS PRACTICE?

DON'T DO THAT.

- I CAN'T GO TO ANOTHER DOCTOR.
- SEE?

GEORGE IS THE ONLY MAN
TO EVER SEE ME NAKED.

GET OUTTA HERE.

WELL, EXCEPT FOR
CHARLIE, OF COURSE.

- GET OUTTA HERE.
- AND THE VET.

THE VET?

OUR PRIZE HEN, HENRIETTA, HAD SOME
KIND OF A CHICKEN DISEASE OR SOMETHING.

I DON'T EXACTLY
KNOW WHAT IT WAS.

CHICKENPOX.

NO, I DON'T THINK SO.

I HAD AN EARACHE, SO HE
SAW US BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.

- FOR THAT YOU GOT NAKED?
- I THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE, TOO.

YOU KNOW, DOROTHY, YOU'RE
RIGHT. I'VE GOT TO TALK TO GEORGE.

- GOOD GIRL.
- I'LL GO HOME AND TELL HIM.

I'LL COOK BREAKFAST FOR
HIM. HE LOVES WAFFLES.

NO, I'LL TELL HIM AT DINNER.

DINNER'S BETTER.
HE WON'T BE RUSHING.

I'LL MAKE SOMETHING
GREAT. I'LL TELL HIM IN BED.

- BED'S BETTER.
- IT ALWAYS WORKS.

ASLEEP. I'LL TELL HIM
WHEN HE'S SLEEPING.

RENEE!

I SOUND LIKE A WIMP. I
CAN'T POSSIBLY TELL HIM.

IF I CAN TALK ABOUT MY STOOL
SAMPLE, YOU CAN SAY YOU'RE LONELY.

LEONARD, HELP ME OUT HERE.
WHERE ON THAT DIET I GAVE YOU

DOES IT SAY CREAMED CHIPPED BEEF
AND POLISH SAUSAGE ARE OKAY TO EAT?

LEONARD, YOU'RE
5'6", YOU WEIGH 300LBS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
YOU CAN CARRY IT?

BEKINS COULDN'T CARRY IT.

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR
TOMORROW. WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT. RIGHT.

- [KNOCK AT DOOR]
- GOODBYE, LEONARD.

CHUCK.

I'M A MULTIPLE PERSONALITY. HOW
DO YOU KNOW WHICH OF ME I AM?

BECAUSE MR. FIX-IT
AND BORIS USE A KEY.

AH.

WE ALL LIVE IN ONE BODY. WHY
DON'T THEY LET ME USE THE KEY?

ISN'T THERE MEDICATION
AT THE HOME?

NO, DOCTOR SAYS I
DON'T NEED IT ANYMORE.

IT DOESN'T STOP THE MULTIPLE
PERSONALITIES. IT JUST RELIEVES ANXIETY.

I'M NOT ANXIOUS. I MAKE
OTHER PEOPLE ANXIOUS.

- HI, CHUCKIE.
- HI, SIS.

- YOU'RE OVER HERE EARLY.
- I'M LOOKING FOR AN APARTMENT.

DOCTOR SAYS I CAN
GET MY OWN PLACE.

- OH!
- WHO CAN AFFORD THREE BEDROOMS?

CAN I GO UPSTAIRS
AND SEE THE DOG?

SURE. GO AHEAD.

RENEE, WE DON'T HAVE A DOG.

IF HE THINKS WE DO,
WHO AM I TO STOP HIM?

MAYBE WE HAVE ONE. MAYBE HE SEES
THINGS WE DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO SEE.

I READ THAT. PEOPLE WITH
MENTAL ILLNESSES ARE THE CHOSEN.

WHO CHOOSES THEM
- SHIRLEY MACLAINE?

- GEORGE, WE GOTTA HAVE A TALK.
- OKAY.

- WE HAVE MARITAL PROBLEMS.
- [PHONE RINGS]

EXCUSE ME, HONEY.

HELLO? YEAH.

HELLO, MR. SCHECTER.

OH, THAT IS GOOD
NEWS. GREAT NEWS.

I'M VERY HAPPY FOR YOU.

CONGRATULATIONS.
GOODBYE, MR. SCHECTER.

MR. SCHECTER PEED.

OH.

HE'S 97.

WE'RE BOTH VERY RELIEVED.

- A CATHETER'S NO FUN.
- SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I'D BE THRILLED
TO PEE AT HIS AGE.

- [DOORBELL]
- WHAT ABOUT OUR MARRIAGE?

- I'M WORRIED ABOUT US.
- WHAT? WE'RE GREAT.

I DON'T THINK WE'RE GREAT.

- HI, ROSE, SOPHIA.
- HI. COME ON IN. SIT DOWN.

WE'RE SORRY TO BARGE
IN. IS MR. FIX-IT HERE?

- CHUCK IS HERE.
- [TUTS] OH, DARN.

COULD HE CHANGE INTO MR. FIX-IT?

IT'S A MENTAL ILLNESS, ROSE,
NOT A MASQUERADE PARTY.

A GUY IN SICILY HAD A MULTIPLE
PERSONALITY. THEY DIDN'T GET ALONG.

ONE PERSONALITY PUT OUT
A CONTRACT ON THE OTHER.

HE HAD A SHOOT-OUT
WITH HIMSELF IN THE PIAZZA.

HE WINGED A PRIEST, A WAITER
AND SHOT DOWN THE CINZANO SIGN.

HE WAS ABLE TO BEAT HIMSELF
SENSELESS BEFORE ANYONE ELSE GOT HURT.

I REWIRED YOUR PHONE. YOU CAN
CALL ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR FREE.

EXCEPT FOR ALBANIA
AND NORTH KOREA.

AND YOU CAN USE YOUR TV
REMOTE TO FLUSH THE TOILET.

I'M GOING TO THE FREEWAY,
SEE IF ANY CARS NEED HELP.

THIS GUY KNOCKS ME OUT.

CHUCK, COULD YOU FINISH
OUR DISHWASHER FIRST?

I'M NOT CHUCK, I'M MR. FIX-IT.

HERE TO PLEASE. NO PROBLEM
TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL.

THIS IS GREAT. IT'S
BETTER THAN VAUDEVILLE.

I'M ALL EARS, LADIES.
LEAD ME TO THE TROUBLE.

THERE'S NOTHING I CAN'T FIX. EXCEPT
THIS OLD NOGGIN. THAT COULD USE REWIRING.

- LET'S GO.
- COME ON, SOPHIA.

WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE HIM.

- I'D BETTER GET TO THE OFFICE.
- WE'RE NOT DONE.

- COULDN'T IT WAIT?
- NO, IT CANNOT WAIT.

THE KIDS ARE GONE, YOU'RE NEVER
HERE. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO ANYMORE.

- WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS DO?
- SHOP, LUNCH.

SOME PLAY GOLF,
SOME HAVE AFFAIRS.

- WHICH ONES ARE HAVING AFFAIRS?
- I DON'T KNOW.

COME ON, I'LL NEVER TELL.

THE ONES WHO ARE
HAPPY FOR NO REASON.

- GEORGE, MY LIFE IS EMPTY.
- WHY DON'T YOU GET A JOB?

I THOUGHT OF THAT. I COULD
GO BACK TO SHOW BUSINESS.

RENEE, YOU WERE THE LEGS
IN THE DANCING CIGARETTE BOX.

EVERYBODY LOVED ME. I
BROUGHT JOY TO PEOPLE.

YOU SOLD CIGARETTES. YOU
BROUGHT CANCER TO PEOPLE.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK, I'LL TRY TO
GET WORK IN THE ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS.

BUT THAT'S JUST MY PART.
YOU'VE GOT A PART, TOO.

- YOU'VE GOT TO BE HERE MORE.
- YOU NEVER COMPLAINED BEFORE.

THE KIDS WERE
HERE. I DIDN'T NOTICE.

BUT, GEORGE, TIME
IS IMPORTANT NOW.

WITH THEM GONE, WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO BE TOGETHER IN A NEW WAY.

IT WAS ON A COFFEE COMMERCIAL.
I THINK TASTER'S CHOICE.

THIS COUPLE - WE'RE
SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT.

- LIKE WHAT?
- LIKE THIS COUPLE.

THEY'RE THERE, JUST
THE TWO OF THEM,

SIPPING COFFEE TOGETHER,

FOR AS LONG AS THEY HAVE LEFT.

MUST BE ONE HELL
OF A CUP OF COFFEE.

I'M IN REAL TROUBLE
HERE, GEORGE.

- OUR MARRIAGE IS IN TROUBLE.
- [PHONE RINGS]

EXCUSE ME, HONEY.

HELLO.

YEAH. DESCRIBE THE PAIN.

UH-HUH. UH-HUH.

OKAY, MEET IN MY
OFFICE. YES, RIGHT NOW.

- I GOTTA GO.
- [BOTH] I GOT A SICK PERSON.

SEE YOU LATER. I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

COME ON, A MOVIE
WILL CHEER YOU UP.

- WHAT ARE YOU SEEING?
- NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 4.

DO YOU HAVE TO SEE THE OTHERS?

NO, ROSE, IT STANDS ALONE.

- HI, EVERYBODY.
- JENNY!

JENNY, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HOME FROM SCHOOL?

- YOU'RE SICK? YOU'RE PREGNANT?
- I QUIT.

- THANK GOD.
- I THOUGHT YOU'D BE MAD.

I AM. I'M ALSO GLAD
YOU'RE NOT PREGNANT.

HONEY, WHY DID YOU QUIT?

I WENT TO BE WITH MY BOYFRIEND,

BUT HE WAS PRACTICALLY
LIVING WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.

- HE'D REPLACED ME.
- WITH WHAT?

A HAND PUPPET, ROSE.

HONEY, I AM SO SORRY.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE
TO COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.

IT'S IN NEW YORK CITY,
FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE.

A SUBWAY RUNS RIGHT THROUGH IT.

YOU WANT TO GO WHERE THERE
ARE GREEN LAWNS AND WILLOW TREES

AND YOUNG MEN IN CHINOS AND TIES

AND PROFESSORS WITH JUST A
TOUCH OF GRAY AT THE TEMPLE.

WISE, LEARNED MEN... WHO LOOK UP YOUR
SKIRT IF YOU'RE SITTING IN THE FIRST ROW.

MEETINGS WITH THEM SO
THEY CAN EXPLAIN PLATO.

AND THEY LEAN OVER
YOUR BOOKS WITH YOU

AND YOU CAN SMELL
THEIR PIPE TOBACCO

AND THEIR MALENESS.

AND THEN THEIR ARM ACCIDENTALLY
BRUSHES AGAINST YOUR BOSOMS

AND THE ROOM IS FILLED WITH
THE HEAT OF A TABOO LUST.

WHERE IS THIS SCHOOL?

JENNY, WHAT HAPPENED?

- HE MET A THIN, BLONDE GODDESS.
- UH-HUH.

ONE OF THOSE GIRLS WHO
HAS EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW.

LOOKS, MONEY, BRAINS, A
BODY, AND NOW MY BOYFRIEND.

HONEY, I'VE BEEN IN THAT
POSITION MORE THAN ONCE.

YOU'VE BEEN IN EVERY
POSITION MORE THAN ONCE.

- MY POSITION?
- OH, GOODNESS, NO.

THE GODDESS' POSITION.

WE HAVE OUR PROBLEMS, TOO.

ESPECIALLY WHEN THE
GODDESS IS NOW TWICE THE SIZE.

HONEY, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
FEELING. EVERYONE'S BEEN REJECTED.

AND, HONEY, THE LOSS OF YOUR FIRST
LOVE IS THE WORST, THE VERY WORST.

I KNOW. I REMEMBER MINE.

IT WAS PROBABLY A COW.

HOW ON EARTH DID
YOU KNOW THAT, SOPHIA?

WILD GUESS.

MINE WAS LARRY RAGANETTI.

OH, HOW I LOVED HIM.
HE WAS GORGEOUS.

HE LEFT ME FOR COOKIE KELLY.

SHE KISSED WITH HER MOUTH OPEN.

WHY NOT KISS WITH
YOUR MOUTH OPEN?

I WAS EIGHT.

SO?

IT'S HAPPENED TO ALL OF US,
SWEETHEART. WE'VE ALL SURVIVED.

- NEVER HAPPENED TO ME.
- OH, COME ON.

YOU WERE NEVER REJECTED?

- WELL, ONCE. BUT JUST ONCE.
- BY WHO?

WEIGHT WATCHERS
FOR BEING TOO THIN.

COME ON, GIRLS.

- THANKS FOR COMING OVER.
- BYE, HONEY.

[ALL CHAT AT ONCE]

- HI, GEORGE.
- HELLO.

- BYE, GEORGE.
- HI, GEORGE.

- SOPHIA.
- HI, GEORGE. BYE, GEORGE.

HI, HONEY. SWEETHEART! OH!

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOME?
- SHE'S NOT SICK OR PREGNANT.

- IS IT THANKSGIVING ALREADY?
- DENNIS DUMPED ME.

OH. SUGAR, I'M SO SORRY.

I WISH I COULD SAY SOMETHING
TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.

- WHAT IF I SAID I HATED HIM?
- OH, DADDY.

I KNOW HOW MUCH
IT HURTS, DARLING.

BUT YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN REJECTED
MANY TIMES. SO HAS YOUR DADDY.

I CAN'T GO BACK. I
CAN'T. I JUST CAN'T.

WHAT IF I RUN INTO THEM?
I'LL DIE OF EMBARRASSMENT.

NO, YOU WON'T. I'M A DOCTOR

AND I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE
DIE OF EMBARRASSMENT.

IF IT'LL MAKE IT EASIER, I'LL GO
WITH YOU AND HELP GET YOU SETTLED.

- WILL YOU?
- ABSOLUTELY.

- HI, EVERYBODY.
- HI, OLIVER.

YOU WANNA KNOW WHO
I SPENT THE NIGHT WITH?

- NO, OLIVER.
- THE CABIN CREW OF LUFTHANSA.

- I HAVE TO GO?
- YOU'RE 18.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
WE WON'T FORCE YOU.

WE'LL CUT YOU OFF WITHOUT A
DIME AND NEVER TALK TO YOU AGAIN.

- SO YOU STRONGLY RECOMMEND.
- YES.

OKAY.

- I OWE YOU A BEER.
- I'LL MAKE SOME CALLS

- AND SEE SOME FRIENDS.
- WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

- BACK TO SCHOOL.
- FLYING?

- YEAH.
- YOU'D BE SAFER HITCHING.

- OLIVER, DON'T START.
- I'M A TEST PILOT.

- I KNOW WHAT GOES ON.
- I DON'T NEED TO HEAR THIS.

OR WHAT GOES ON IN THE COCKPIT.

- HEY, COME ON.
- GOODBYE, OLIVER.

- BYE, JEN.
- POOR KID.

- BUT WE DID THE RIGHT THING.
- ABSOLUTELY.

- YOU REALLY THINK SO?
- I DON'T KNOW.

GEORGE, WOULD YOU
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS?

THIS IS A FAMILY
DISCUSSION, OLIVER.

HEY, THAT'S NICE. I
WISH I HAD A FAMILY.

- I THINK IT'S SKIN CANCER.
- IT'S NOT.

WE'RE RIGHT. SHE HAS TO GO BACK.

IF SHE ACTUALLY DIES OF
EMBARRASSMENT, I'LL NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF.

- SO, WHAT IS THIS THING?
- A LIVER SPOT.

OH-HO-HO, NO.

OH-HO-HO, GOD.

- A LIVER SPOT?
- IT'S BENIGN.

MY FATHER HAD LIVER SPOTS.
HE LOOKED LIKE A DALMATIAN.

SO, WHAT'S THIS FAMILY
TALK ABOUT, GUYS?

- IT'S PRIVATE, OLIVER.
- OH, I SEE.

- SO WOULD YOU PLEASE EXCUSE US?
- SURE.

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!

- OH, YOU MEAN GO?
- YES.

- WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY? BYE, GUYS.
- YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

- WHAT'S THAT?
- OLIVER!

WHAT?

- WE WERE GREAT WITH JEN.
- WE WERE.

WE WERE A TEAM. GEORGE,
I WANT US TO BE A TEAM.

DOES THAT MEAN WE
SHOULD GET UNIFORMS?

OH, COME ON, GEORGE. IT MEANS THAT WE
DID SOMETHING TOGETHER AND IT FELT GREAT.

WE'VE GOTTA DO THAT WITHOUT
THE KIDS, BUT YOU'RE NEVER HERE.

- WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
- CUT BACK ON YOUR PRACTICE.

DO I TELL A GUY IN CARDIAC ARREST,
"SORRY, MEETING MY WIFE FOR SUSHI"?

GEORGE, DO YOU KNOW WHY I'M
GOING TO NEW YORK WITH JENNY?

NOT JUST TO HELP HER. TO BE
WITH SOMEONE WHO NEEDS ME.

THINK ABOUT IT.

THINK ABOUT THAT.

I'VE GOT THE SECOND HALF
OF MY LIFE TO TAKE CARE OF.

AND I DON'T WANT TO DO IT ALONE.

THEN RENEE CALLS AND
SAYS SHE'S GOT AN AGENT.

- OH, NICE.
- NOT NICE, OLIVER.

WITHIN SIX DAYS SHE HAS AN
AGENT WHO'LL GET HER COMMERCIALS.

WHO KNOWS WHAT
THE HELL SHE'LL DO?

IT'D BE FUNNY IF SHE
NEVER CAME BACK.

THIS HOUSE IS SO EMPTY
WITHOUT HER. I'M LONELY.

THAT'S WHY I NEVER GOT MARRIED.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE LONELY.

AND I DIDN'T WANT SOMEBODY ELSE
DRIVING MY CAR. YOU'RE OUT OF PERRIER.

THIS IS WHAT RENEE WAS
TALKING ABOUT. SHE WAS LONELY.

YOU'RE OUT OF BEER
AND PEANUT BUTTER.

HELL, GEORGE, GET HER BACK.
I'M GONNA STARVE TO DEATH.

OH, DOROTHY. WHAT
A NICE SURPRISE.

FOR YOU MAYBE.
GEORGE, I WANTED TO TALK.

DO I DETECT A NOTE OF HOSTILITY?

A NOTE? HOW ABOUT A SYMPHONY?

WE THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
LIKE TO JOIN US FOR DINNER.

I GET THE FEELING YOU
MIGHT BE MAD AT ME. WHY?

HOW ABOUT STOPPING BY NEW
YEAR'S EVE WITH THREE NAKED WOMEN,

THROWING UP IN THE POOL,
PASSING OUT IN THE PUNCHBOWL,

AND RELIEVING YOURSELF
IN THE LINEN CLOSET?

THAT WAS SIX MONTHS AGO.

GEORGE, WHAT DO YOU SAY?

- WE'D REALLY LOVE TO HAVE YOU.
- MAYBE SOME OTHER TIME.

WHAT ABOUT FORGIVE
AND FORGET, DOT?

I AM NOT "DOT". GOODBYE, GEORGE.

GOODBYE, DOT.

- WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
- NEW YORK.

- GREAT, LET'S DO IT.
- YOU'RE NOT INVITED.

- I'M GOING ALONE.
- YEAH, BUT WE COULD...

HI, MA. HEY, HOW'D
YOU LIKE TO HAVE...

COME ON, THAT WAS THREE
OR FOUR MONTHS AGO.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

COMING.

THANK GOD. I WAS A WRECK.

I SAT THERE EVERY NIGHT
WITH OLIVER, LONELY AS HELL.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING
ON. I THOUGHT, "WHAT IF I LOSE HER?

WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT HER?

I WANT HER HERE WITH ME AND
I WANT TO BE THERE WITH HER."

SO, HERE I AM. AND THERE'S GOING
TO BE SOME CHANGES. AND I LOVE YOU.

WHY THE HELL ARE YOU OPENING A
DOOR WITHOUT SAYING, "WHO'S THERE?"

I WASN'T GOING TO
STAY HERE, GEORGE.

I MISSED YOU. I
COULDN'T STAND IT.

AND I REALIZE I'VE BEEN
GOING TOO FAST FOR YOU.

YOU CAN'T CHANGE OVERNIGHT.

I'D LIKE TO TRY.

HERE'S STEP ONE. I DREW
A SKETCH ON THE PLANE.

I'VE DECIDED TO MAKE
AN OFFICE IN THE HOUSE

AND MOVE MY PRACTICE THERE.

- NO?
- YEAH.

AND I GOT MAZ LANSKY TO
TAKE PART OF MY PATIENT LOAD.

I GOT HIM TO TAKE IT
ALL FOR THREE DAYS

WHILE WE'RE HERE ON
OUR SECOND HONEYMOON.

[TEARFUL] GEORGE, I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

BUT, HONEY, THIS ISN'T
OUR SECOND HONEYMOON.

IT'S OUR THIRD?

- WE NEVER HAD ONE.
- OF COURSE WE HAD ONE.

GEORGE, YOU WERE AN INTERN.

TWO HOURS IN A HOSPITAL BED NEXT
TO A MAN IN A COMA ISN'T A HONEYMOON.

- I LIED. HE WASN'T IN A COMA.
- OH!

- WHAT IF I MAKE IT UP TO YOU?
- HOW?

OH, GEORGE. WHAT
A GREAT THREE DAYS.

THIS HAS BEEN A
WONDERFUL HONEYMOON.

IT SHOULD BE. YOU
WAITED LONG ENOUGH.

MM.

YOU THINK WE'LL STAY
LIKE THIS ALWAYS?

I THINK EVENTUALLY WE'LL
HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM.

- AND YOU'LL LOVE ME ALWAYS?
- ALWAYS.

BECAUSE I WON'T
ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THIS.

HONEY.

YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE
YOU DID TEN YEARS AGO.

PROMISE ME YOU'LL NEVER GET YOUR TEETH
BONDED AND RUN AROUND WITH STEWARDESSES.

I PROMISE.

- YOU SWEAR?
- I SWEAR.

[RENEE] I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU TOO, SWEETHEART.

- GEORGE.
- HM?

PROMISE ME ONE MORE THING.

WHAT?

PROMISE ME YOU'LL NEVER DIE.
