instead of sewing rips

and hanging stuff.

- That was good of you

to help her with, Bianca.

- I didn't pull any strings.

I just told her about it,

and she did the rest

all on her own.

- Did they tell you yet?

- Tell me what?

- You know what, Janey?

Uh, now's not the time.

Maybe, uh, later,

after pancakes.

- Yes, everybody

eat their pancakes.

- Whatever it is,

Jane already knows, so...

-Bianca, eat your pancakes.

-You know what?

Everybody just calm down.

-I'm calm.

Jane, you calm?

We're calm.

What is it?

-Uh, we're moving to Jersey.

-I think I'm gonna puke.

-You're so dramatic, Bianca.

- I'm dramatic, too.

- Of course you are, honey.

-Wha... I'm sorry, Jersey?

Why in god's name

would you move to Jersey?

-The countryside.

It's only like an hour

outside Philly.

There really are

some lovely areas.

-Please, mom.

You can't put lipstick on a pig.

- Watch your mouth.

- What did I say?

- Your mother and I have been

wanting to get out of the city

for a long time,

go someplace quiet.

- Why can't you put lipstick

on a pig?

-I can work on my book.

Mom can find a teaching job.

-Yoga. Mm-hmm.

- Besides, we can't afford

the area anymore.

- Please tell me

you're not selling the house.

Wha... j-Jane's okay with this?

You're okay with this?

What about your internship

and your class and her routines?

You guys know how important

her routines are to her.

W-what about Maggie and Hannah?

And what happens to Jane?

- They want her

to move in with us.

They want her to live with us.

Can you believe that?

I mean, I guess she wants to, as

well. I can't really blame her.

It's a hell of a housewarming gift...

- A beautiful bird.

- Bringing home my autistic sister.

- Make a man cry it's so beautiful.

Flies through the air

like an angel.

-Could you hold that thought?

- Yeah. Sure, pal.

Take your time.

We're just talking birds, okay?

- Thank you.

- All right.

- Hey.

- Babe, did you hear

what I just said?

-Uh, yeah, I heard you.

-And what do you think?

- Ugh!

Jesus Christ.

-What do you want to do?

- I want to be with you,

you know?

Focus on us.

- Yes, right. Yes.

I love Janey to death.

She is the best.

I just...

I don't know

that I would be comfortable

with that responsibility,

you know?

- Yes. Exactly.

That's what I told them.

- You told your parents

I didn't want her moving in.

That's not good.

Thanks.

- No, babe.

I just said that you might not

be 100% cool with it.

They were grilling the sh*t

out of me,

and I had to say something.

- Okay, yeah, right.

Listen, no problem.

Um, I have to finish this,

uh, interview

with this insane person

that Hewitt put me up to,
