His fiance's great.

They're getting a new place

on the upper West Side,

and, you know, his life

is really coming together.

And me?

Well, yesterday I drew this.

Truth is, I don't know if I've ever met

anyone else who's quite like Michelle.

Maybe I made a mistake,

you know?

Maybe we should give it

another shot.

- I don't know.

- What are you talking about?

- We had a lot of good memories.

- Whoa, whoa, stop.

Look at me.

Focus.

You need to take some time alone

to deal with some things.

- I am alone.

- Well, all the stuff that you

and your dad are going

through right now,

the answer's not a woman, Dean.

It's you.

Yeah.

You just read that

off the Internet?

Yeah, just now.

You like that?

- Yeah, very wise.

- Thank you very much, yeah.

Wise guy.

- Ah, uh, Patrick?

- Yes.

- Robert? Yes, yes, hi.

- Yes? Yeah, good.

- Nice to meet you.

- Good to meet you in person.

- Hey, uh, this is Carol.

- Oh.

Sorry, I was just

checking out your veranda.

Oh, fantastic.

Good. Hi.

- Hi.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- Carol, it is?

- Carol, yes.

- Carol, okay.

Well, this is it.

This is the whole.

This is the, uh...

- This is the family room.

- Oh, uh...

- Carol.

- No, I...

Sometimes I react without...

But...

- No, no.

- No, this is a great house.

I've kind of let it

get away from me a bit.

Perhaps for the open house

we could do

- with a little bit of staging.

- Yeah, maybe a new sofa?

- Oh.

- Definitely a new sofa.

- Okay.

- Cat?

Oh, no, that's...

That's my son.

My son, yeah.

He's, uh,

he's an adult now,

at least numerically,

and completely house trained.

- Oh.

- That's great.

It's like my nephew.

My sister's got him

on one of those leashes,

which I'm sure

is not gonna add

to any weird issues later on.

Oh, yeah.

But he's really good

at chasing balls.

- Does he live nearby?

- Uh...

- Your son?

- No, uh, yeah, he's in Brooklyn now.

No, but I work in the city, so I see

him whenever he needs something.

- So you live here alone?

- Yes, uh, since my wife died.

It's just me.

- Oh, I'm sorry, Robert.

- No, no, it's okay.

I've got a terrific therapist.

I'm reading all the books

you're supposed to read, so...

- Yeah, there you go.

- Let me just, uh, show you the kitchen.

Uh, hold my calls.

This way.

Man, I haven't seen you

in a long time.

Yeah, I got to fly all the way to

Brett's wedding to see my friend?

- What the hell is that?

- I know.

You have got to be the oldest ring

bearer I've ever seen in my life.

Yeah, I'm not the ring bearer.

I'm the best man, but...

Sorry you didn't make

the cut, buddy.

I'm pretty sure Kevin

was the best man, right?
