- Whoo!

- Whoo-hoo!

Oh!

What are you guys doing?

Dropping by?

I love it.

Nobody drops by anymore.

- Mwah.

- Mwah.

- It was nothing.

- We were in the neighborhood.

Oh, look at you two, swimming.

Oh, my God,

every time I come up here,

I think I'm gonna go in,

and then the whole time passes,

and I forget to do it.

This is...

- Ooh, that feels good.

- Whoo-hoo!

So are you going

to the "Save the Lake" benefit

on Sunday?

I think we have to.

Did you want to join my table?

Oh, we already have our tickets.

Veronika asked us

if we wanted to be her guests.

Bring this down.

That's great.

Both?

- Really?

- Mm.

Oh, did you hear that she's, um,

going to do more construction?

You're kidding me.

After everything that we went

through while she rebuilt that?

I thought you were gonna do

something more on your house.

Actually...

Malcolm and I, uh,

have talked about selling

and doing something simple.

- No.

- No.

Please don't tell anybody.

We're still not sure

if it's gonna happen.

- You're not.

- You can't.

I mean, we probably won't.

The kids should get the house

anyway.

I mean, God knows they don't

even appreciate it,

but maybe a younger family

would enjoy it more.

I wish I could be one of those

people who can just let go.

Sweetie, you can't let go

of anything.

Why not just keep the house

as an investment?

Ah, the market...

It seems decadent to own two...

vacation houses.

Celia Green.

What?

You have more money

than entire ZIP codes

in San Francisco.

You can afford

to keep both houses.

I know.

It's just...

You reach an age...

Um...

I'm... I'm so tired of my life

being safe.

Mm-hmm.

But this house...

They don't make houses

like this anymore.

Mm-mm.

I-I don't know who else

deserves to live here.

Remind me why we're here again?

What were we going to do...

Spend the weekend in Westwood?

Oh, you...

- Oh, really?

- Yeah.

Oh, okay.

I get it.

Theo Green.

So high school friend

wants a movie deal.

Is it any good?

Have you even read it yet?

Don't be a brat.

Theo just sent it to me

a few weeks ago.

I mean, what do you do

when you're staying

at someone's house,

eating their food, and you have

to critique their work?

Well, what do you tell all

the other wannabe screenwriters?

Usually, I just say,

"It's good. It's great.

I'll get back to you

with notes,"

and then I just...

don't.

Well, at least wait

until the end of the weekend

to tell him how you feel.

Yeah.

Everything's gonna be all right.

I know.

Does Mom need any help?

Uh, don't worry about it.

You work hard.

You deserve to relax.

I guess that's the thing now,

Fridays off.

All the young people

take Fridays off in the summer.
