I can barely get dressed,

but a nice brisk walk

in the neighborhood,

that might do the trick.

- You never know.

It'll get better.

- So they say.

Shh.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey!

Wait.

- I am nowhere near your house.

- Wait.

Wait.

I wanted to apologize

for yelling at you before.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

I didn't realize that, um...

- Right, the chair.

Because Tourette's is a common

side effect of spinal injuries.

Okay.

- No, I've just been feeling

really exhausted

and out of sorts, you know,

since the...

- You got your baby to sleep.

Congratulations.

- Yeah, I did.

Apparently, he really likes

going on walks.

- Me too.

You know, that's a joke

about the walking.

You can laugh.

- Right.

Okay.

- Okay.

This is my stop.

- Wow.

You live here?

Nice house.

- I accept your apology,

and in return, I apologize

if I admired your breasts

inappropriately.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Mom wanted to drop by

for dinner tonight.

Okay with you?

- Y-sure.

- This was so good.

- He's so beautiful.

- Sweet.

- He is the sweetest one ever.

And you look so beautiful,

Julie.

- He looks just like you, Kelly.

- Ooh, that is plenty.

- This was so great.

Thanks again for cooking, Mom.

- It was really good.

- Thank you.

It was my pleasure, as always.

- It's okay.

- Anybody want anything

from the kitchen?

- How was your day, Mommy?

I'm sorry.

What?

- You must be exhausted.

I was just wondering

how your day was.

- Okay.

Good.

I met a neighbor.

I...

- That's great.

- All right.

- Who'd you meet?

- You did? Great.

That's wonderful.

Remember our old neighbor

Charlie?

- You know, he's back

with his wife now.

- The old wife?

- Mary Ellen.

- Guys, don't forget

I'm taking Jackson

to my walking group on Thursday.

- Yeah, but I don't know.
