and on not being late.

What is going on?

Well, you can basically take

the last three years of my life

and light them on fire.

Company's f***ed.

My girlfriend dumped me.

People hate me.

Oh. Did you, uh,

lose a lot of money?

Oh, yeah, no, I lost, uh,

all of my money and then some,

and then I lost a lot

of other people's money,

which feels

surprisingly terrible.

Dude, can you just

take the day off?

I can't.

I-I've been out a lot lately

and my principal is tracking

my level of commitment, so...

Whatever.

You're gonna be fine, Jake.

F*** those people.

I'm done with the city.

Your shirt's buttoned wrong.

Oh.

Sh*t. Thanks.

So, if it's a couple of months,

Is that okay? Three months?

Jesus, three months?

I'm sorry I didn't schedule

my life falling apart

better for you.

That's not what I'm saying.

You just...

You show up here

with your big bag,

and you haven't been out here

for at least a year.

I was here for Teddy's birthday.

We invited you

and you didn't come.

Well, I wanted to be there,

okay?

That counts for something.

- I have to talk to Danny.

- Like ask him permission?

Like have a conversation

where I ask him

how he feels about you living

with us for three months

because he's my husband.

Can you answer me

as to why there are

so many new sconces

around the house?

We're trying to sell the house.

Could you maybe not sell

our childhood home right now?

Please?

I'm really sorry, Jake.

Look, just...

Just hang out,

and eat whatever you want,

and I'll be home tonight

and we can all have dinner.

Okay.

It's freezing in this house.

Can you get me a sweatshirt,

please?

Ah! F*** you,

you pressed wood piece of sh*t.

Oh, look who it is.

Good nap?

Yeah, I forgot where I was.

You were in my bed

with your shoes on.

- Uh...

- It's okay.

Hey, sorry to hear about,

you know, everything.

Oh, no worries.

So you gonna replace that door

with more sconces?

We're doing reclaimed walnut.

Justine and Teddy are upstairs.

Oh, I'll go say hi to them.

You know what, no, no,

don't do that.

She's pretty upset

about that nap.

Why don't you be

my little helper?

Help me take the door off.

You know I pay a guy to hang

pictures in my apartment.

Dude, it's very easy.

You just take this,

put it in there...

- Uh-huh.

- And then look.

Exciting.

- Do I need goggles?

- No, dude.

Like that?

Yeah.

Oh!

- Oh, ho.

- Lookit, lookit.

- Hey!

- Hey! Holy sh*t!

- Hey.

- Teddy!

Unky!

Look how big you are!

You're like an adult man.

I'm holding an adult man!

I have a train table.

Yeah, I just used

an electric screwdriver.

Let's go crazy!

Let's go crazy in the morning.

We just came in

to say goodnight.
