because she had an infection

from a Botox injection.

- The point is, she's

not the only one.

I don't want to be 50 and

my son be in kindergarten.

I want to go out there and

throw the football with him.

I don't wanna throw out my back.

I really, really want this.

I need this, Anne.

- I know.

I hear you, okay?

Just next year.

I promise.

- You promise promise?

I promise promise.

- I mean, it's

just really weird.

Why wouldn't you

put the light switch

inside a closet?

- I don't know, maybe it

was just an afterthought.

Baby, you always do this.

You overanalyze and you

overthink everything.

Just let it go, it's

not that big of a deal.

- Yeah, but I mean, what

about the other things

that were moved,

like the furniture?

- We're just stressed out.

It's a new house,

you just finished a huge

photo shoot with Duncan.

You know how you

get on photo shoots.

You're not getting

a lot of sleep.

- I know.

- We both know ghosts

aren't real, right?

- Right.

How was your day?

Was the commute better?

- Yeah, I mean no.

It's a little bit

longer but it's okay.

It was a long day at

the office though.

I'm getting pretty tired.

Maybe we should go to bed.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Come here.

Upstairs.

- Babe.

Harold!

Harold!

Harold, please!

Harold!

Neil and your stupid stories.

- Hey.

How are you?

- I'm fine.

I'm sorry, just a new house

and Neil's stupid story and...

It's probably

just too much pizza and wine.

I'm fine.

- Good.

Those boxes, do you think

you could take 'em out?

Out to the barn?

- Yeah.

- I mean, if

you're not doing anything.

- No, it's fine, I got it.

- I just, I come home

at 12:
00 am and it's just.

- Yeah, I know.

I know, I can do it.

- Okay.

Gonna walk me out?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Bored, really?

Drive two hours.

Spend 12 hours trying

to impress the boss

because I'm a company man.

Then I get to come

home to a loving wife

that does not want kids.

And apparently is

seeing a ghost.

Must be nice being bored.

- Harold, you should really

just audio books or...

Emma!

Hey, how how are you?

Yeah, you all packed?

Aw.

I know, I really wish we

could go with you guys but

Harold has a huge project so

yeah, it's not gonna work out.

Hey, Emma, can I

ask you something?

Do you hear noises?

No, I know, I just.

Maybe it was just this old

house that needs to be updated.

But I brought it up to Harold

and we got in this

huge argument and...

Yeah, no we're fine

it's just that he said

photography isn't a...

I'm sorry, yeah he said

photography isn't a career.

Yeah, and then he brought up

the whole kids thing again.

No, yeah, you know, I do

want kids it's just that
