but you seem

to have come through it,

maybe with a-

a hard-won wisdom.

- I don't know.

L'm-l mean,

it's the only experience

I've ever had, you know.

[laughing]

So that's it.

II:

- Think you're

talking to, Regan?

- Do you Want me

to answer that?

- Hey, Len.

- Hey.

- I figured out the ground

shield situation.

It was connected at the source,

causing a ground loop,

and the links

were stuffed inside

an old Burger King container.

- Right.

- I replaced the links,

and I threw out

the Burger King container.

I hope that's okay.

I didn't know if you were

saving it for any reason.

- No.

That sounds like

the right decision.

- Hi.

- Hey, I'm Max.

Len's son.

- Oh, Max, this is William.

He lives down the road.

He comes in once in a while,

checks I'm not dead.

He's in charge of general

maintenance, house morale,

that sort of thing.

Got an office in the barn.

- Mm.

- L, uh, stacked the cables

at the studio door.

- All right.

You have fun.

- Yeah.

See you tomorrow.

It was nice to meet you, Max.

- Good to meet you.

- Cheers, William.

[door closes]

- Where'd you find him?

- Tessa.

[muffled television]

- A little bit awkward.

- He is, a little bit.

Or "real" is a better way

of putting it.

- I have to ask you

about Len Black,

your longtime collaborator

and producer.

Were you as caught off guard

as everyone else

by what he did

at the award show last month?

- Yeah.

I was, for sure.

- What do you think

prompted that?

- Can I use your pen?

- Yeah.

- Thanks, man.

[murmuring]

Ask Len...

Why he didn't want award.

[clicks tongue]

Awesome.

It was good talking to you.

Um, I have to go.

I'm gonna use

the little girls' room.

- Evenings I work in a pub.

H's just off the Rye.

One of our regulars

is a man named Presser.

- Alec Presser?

- That's him.

- Alec Prosser

is a bent lawyer.

He was struck off years ago.

He's a sort of first edition

Bernard Driscoll

without the humor.

- About three weeks ago,

who Walks in with Presser

but Frank Kemble.

He didn't recognize me.

- Have you ever thought

about getting Apple TV?

- What's that?

- It's like this little box,

and you just hook it up

to your TV,

and you can stream

pretty much anything.

It's, like, so you don't have

to keep getting these DVDs.

- Scout's honor.

- Sounds complicated.

- Oh, it's not.

I think you'd like it.

- What's that?

- Fruit cocktail.

- Hmm.

- Do you remember

those parties that you and Mom

used to have at the apartment
