Love Is Strange Page #2

they charge an administration fee?

- To discourage rentals in the building.

- I hate co-ops.

- Hard to find a condo in Manhattan.

- Not true anymore.

Anyway, we're trying to explain why

renting doesn't help us because...

You've been to my house, right?

You know how much

my real-estate taxes are?

Three thousand. For the whole year.

It's Poughkeepsie, Mindy.

Renting would leave us owing

about a thousand a month.

If we find a studio for, say, 1500...

And that's very hard.

I mean,

we're starting each month at 3000.

And you can't afford that?

Well, with my private lessons

and Ben's pension...

Why did you guys go

on such a fancy honeymoon?

Mindy! It's none of your business.

Of course it is.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be here.

I'm just saying. There's nothing wrong

with Provincetown.

- Have a seat.

- Everything okay?

Yeah. Just wanted to talk to you.

Now, we invited you all here today

because, well, you're family.

Are you telling us

you're getting divorced?

- That's what I thought too.

- No.

We...

We have to sell the apartment.

And we found a buyer already...

...so pretty soon

we're gonna have to move out.

Now, it won't be long

before I get another job...

...and it shouldn't be long

before we find another apartment...

...but in the meantime...

It's just a transition phase.

Probably just a week or two.

We need a place to stay.

Wait a minute.

Did I miss something here?

These last weeks

have been tough on us, Elliot.

Losing the job,

looking for health insurance.

- We need a breather.

- Yeah.

Moving out of here

is the last thing we want to do.

It's only temporary.

We'll find a new place. Very soon.

Uncle, I'm sorry

I was a little bit rough in there.

- Let's go. Elliot.

- Think positive, Ben.

Thanks for the beer.

I love you guys.

I'll call you during the week.

We're right here.

- Good night. Bye-bye.

- Bye, Mama.

I feel bad that I can't help out,

but you've seen my apartment.

It's okay. They can stay with me.

I had a feeling that they were hoping

to stay with one of us here in the city.

- Didn't you see the look on their faces?

- What are you talking about?

I'm saying

they don't want to go live upstate.

Country boys all of a sudden.

I can't see that.

- It's temporary.

- Honey's right.

Maybe there's something

that we can do.

- I thought we figured it all out already.

- Mindy.

I'm the only one

with the extra bedroom.

No, it's not about that, Mindy.

It's Poughkeepsie.

- When were you there last?

- That doesn't matter.

George has his private students here.

Ben has his galleries.

They need to look

for an apartment.

Doesn't make sense

to live two and a half hours away.
