Jason.

It's not a problem.

- I should go.

Good night.

Yeah?

Really?

- Yeah.

- OK.

Good night.

Yep.

She wants it.

Meghan!

You're back late

from work, huh?

I... I really enjoy these...

these conversations

we're having these days.

Nice and short.

Bam! Whoa! Super fast!

- And mirrors, a whole bunch

of mirrors.

- Um, I guess, but maybe it's

a woman that's driving.

- Hot!

- Totally hot. She's blonde.

- Sir, I can't help you if you

don't stop watching the TV.

Sir, please!

Here!

Hello.

- Make yourself heard.

Thank you.

- With bad guys,

and a helicopter!

- Right. Yeah, all that stuff.

It's right...

- So, we were discussing rehab

programs. Now, there is

a great place upstate;

it's called Garden Meadows.

Well, it's more of a resort

than a rehab centre, honestly.

And it's as good as it gets.

But you have to make the

decision to go there yourself.

I can't make that decision

for you. Do you understand that?

Let the journey begin.

- OK.

- Hi, Susan.

- Hey, Karen. What's up?

- Just thought I'd drop by

and see how

the new patient is doing.

- You two know each other?

- Yeah, we're kind of old friends.

Did I overhear you mention

Garden Meadows?

Yes. I thought that that would be a

great place for Adan, if he chooses to go.

But unfortunately they don't have

a space for another week or so...

- Well, if there's anything

I can do to help, just let me know.

- Yeah, well, he needs a place to stay in

the interim. I mean, I would keep him here,

but as usual, we need every bed

we can get, and...

- Oh, I-I-I didn't mean help out

that much. I meant I... I mean,

I'll help, but, you know, it's

just part of the conversation.

I didn't mean it, you know?

- OK.

I know you didn't mean that.

- OK.

- You don't have to take him in.

- OK.

- Unless... well,

unless you want to.

- Only you can prevent

forest fires.

- Look, you know what,

if you don't want to do this...

uh, something else will

work out.

- It's just for a few days,

right?

- Yeah, it's just

for a few days.

- Or your money back.

- You mean you'll pay me?

- And we'll include

a Ginsu knife.

- Well, I already have one.

OK, twist my arm. I'll help. I'll help.

- Oh, my god, Karen,

you're a saint!

Saint Karen.

I like that.

I like that a lot.

OK.

I'll get my things.

- Only you can prevent

wild fires.

Mr. Foster? Hi.

I am at the hospital.

Yeah, I'm sorry, sir,

but he's gone.

No, he's not dead,

he's just been discharged.

Yes, sir, I'm on it.

Listen, I will get back to you.

Ah.

- Now, Adan, um, I have

a confession to make.

I have actually followed

your career over the years.

I'm kind of a groupie.

Some people are

into comic books.
