Hello I Must Be Going Page #2

for school the next day.

Your mom would get so mad at me.

Oh, my God.

What- What are the, um, clients?

- What's the company you're trying to get?

- Oh.

Yeah. Th-That's, um- That's a big

online thing that's about to go public.

You know, if we get this client...

we could make back some of the money

we lost in the market.

I mean, we could keep the house and-

Well, I could actually retire.

Like we planned.

Your mother wants to take this trip

around the world this fail.

Gallivanting the Globe" it's called.

Oh, uh, the trip has a name?

All the best ones do.

Apparently.

Look...

would you just...

get a nice dress or something,

for Chrissakes?

Yes, I know. I- Mm-hmm.

Look, here.

Oh. No, Dad.

I'll just borrow something. Please.

Then- Then just keep it. Okay?

- Whose happiness are you buying?

- Mine.

Then I'll take it.

Take whatever you want.

- Thanks, Missy.

- Yeah.

Um-

Hey, can I try this one?

Go for it, Aim.

F***.

Oh, it's a great house.

How long have you been here?

- Well, we've been here about five years.

- Uh-huh.

And we're going room by room.

It's such a mess.

And the people before- it's as if

they had no idea they were on the water.

There was no use of the views.

And it was supposed to be

finished last week, of course.

Of course.

I mean, sometimes I think-

Aren't contractors aware...

that everybody is talking about them

in this way?

Doesn't it bother them?

- And does it bother you the way

they talk about lawyers, Stan? - Oh.

Ah.

Amy, what do you do?

Um, not much.

No. I mean, um-

Originally, a long, long time ago, um,

I was a lit major.

And then I went to grad school

for photography.

- Hmm.

- So--

I was just trying to see

how many things I could major in...

that would never make me any money.

Are you familiar with the work

of Robert Mapplethorpe?

Yeah, I am.Yeah.

Well, uh, Jeremy here is an actor...

and he recently played

Mapplethorpe in a play.

Oh, for heaven's sakes.

Oh, that's a good segue.

- Well-

- That's impressive.

But Jeremy, of course, got to know

his work very well and he loved it.

But I just find it so unsettling.

What do you think, Amy?

Um, yeah, some of the images

are shocking. Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

But I think because he gives

the shocking images the same attention as-

as he does his- his owers...

you know, that the shocking images

become really kind of...

beautiful.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I think he's a master, really. Honestly.

Amy would have made a great lawyer.

I've always told her that.

Well, I make a pretty

good lawyer, right? Right?

- Pretty good.

- Oh!

- More red?

- Yeah, thank you.

- It's good for you.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah, the antioxidants, right? Uh-huh.
