to help George with his transition.

Speak of the devil.

- Oh.

- Oh, hi.

We've actually started looking into assisted

living, uh, communities in the area.

If there are any that you

can recommend that'd be great.

Take a deep breath in for me.

You know, there are many establishments

that I'm sure George would likely enjoy.

Uh... of course, for the same price

you can afford a live in nurse

who specializes in stroke recovery and...

can take care of George

in the comfort of his own home.

- I mean, you have a beautiful house.

- It isn't his house.

I think Mr. Lockhart seems to be

within normal parameters for recovery.

- I'll report back to your doctor.

- Told ya I was fine.

Thank you for your hospitalities.

I wish you guys all the best.

Could you do the home care?

Um, uh, for the right situation, uh, yes.

I can write you down

my number and if you...

wanna give me a call to talk about it

I can do that, um...

Okay, well... we'll discuss it

and get back to you.

Thank you again for everything.

Thanks.

- She seems good.

- What'd ya think, Dad?

- I don't like her.

- Well, that's good enough for me.

You'd rather live in a shared room

with dying, old people

than in your own house with one nurse?

She's got a lot of spirit, Georgie.

All right, hopefully this

is more comfortable for you.

- Why does he live in such a big house?

- Well, I think he built it in the hopes

that he would lure my mom

and I back here to live with him.

It is a beautiful house,

I gotta hand it to him.

Yeah, I don't know it, uh,

it didn't really do it for me.

There's a lot of death in this house.

Yeah, well, don't tell George

we're in here.

Why not, Georgie?

He's, um, he's not everything

you hoped he'd be.

But I do know that he's happy to have you

here especially on your vacation

and I, for one...

I couldn't do this on my own.

Then you can be the one to tell Mom

why I'm not gonna see her till summer.

Yeah, do you think she'd take my call?

I kinda like this home nurse idea.

Yeah, I don't know.

You said it yourself,

he built this house for you.

I think the least you could do

is give him this last chance.

What's all that you got there?

Oh, it's, um, a combination

of Western and Eastern medicine.

You know, blood viscosity's

unique to the person so...

we wanna make sure your blood is

thin enough to move but not too thin.

You're a walking pharmacy.

All right, guest room's

all yours, Michelle.

Uh, Shelby and I'll be at a motel

until the two of you decide

- whether this is a good fit or not.

- Leaving already?

We won't be long. We're gonna

come back and cook you dinner.

I don't know you.

But I would like the chance.
