- Hey, I'm here.

Thank God. Carter, this is the worst idea

you have ever had in your life.

I know.

You've mentioned that several times.

- Okay, I'm coming.

- No, you're not.

Listen, let's just give it a try, okay?

I still think this could be

exactly what I need right now.

Just kind of regroup and get in--

Someone is calling for you.

- Hello?

- Carter? Is that you?

- Avi?

- I'm in the hills now.

- Damn it, my service sucks.

- How did you get this number?

I have my ways.

Your mother gave it to me.

Listen, we have an emergency.

We gotta talk now.

You gave him the number?

Now I have to do this. I'll call you later.

I'm walking on the set.

I've got a girl in this one, tush so hot

and tight you could fry an egg.

Beside the point. She has a problem.

She doesn't understand and neither do I...

... why her character would have sex

with the guy installing her DSL...

... since she's already having an affair

with her yoga instructor.

You said you wanted a scene...

...where she seduces the guy

who's installing her DSL line?

Yeah. I don't think I can sell her that.

Anything else?

How about this, man,

she really wants high-speed Internet?

We're being funny now?

Listen, the character, Monica,

is a sexual compulsive, okay?

Because of a traumatic childhood,

she's turned on by illicit sex.

It's the only way she can orgasm,

that's it.

That's just a phase. You get over it.

Grandma, would you

get off the phone, please?

Where the hell are you?

I'm out of town for a few days, okay?

I can't talk right now.

I'll get you the new script by Monday

or Tuesday.

Listen, all right, it should have a scene...

... where the hot rookie cop

has to get down- -

Hey, buddy. My grandma's on the line.

God.

Grandma, I'm not abandoning you.

I just got here three hours ago.

- I'll put on the alarm.

- No, I wouldn't put on the alarm.

- Why not?

- Because I'll be right back.

Thank you very much.

- Bozo.

- Sorry?

The dog's name is Bozo.

Oh, hey.

Hey, Bozo.

You must be from the nursing home.

Are you taking care of Phyllis?

No, she's actually my grandma.

Your grandmother.

I didn't know she had children

or grandchildren.

Yeah, we don't get out

to visit too often, so... .

- Where are you from?

- L.A.

Oh, Los Angeles.

I was there once, a long time ago.

- Yeah. Well, you know, it gets a bad rap.

- Oh, I liked it. I liked it very much.

I'm Sarah.

Carter. Nice to meet you.

So you finally get to spend some time

with your grandma, huh? That's nice.

Yeah. I think I may be staying

for a while, actually.

See if we can't figure out some arrangement

where I sort of take care of her.

She's a handful.

I know. I'm kind of worried about it.
