- See you.

- Goodnight. See you.

You know in street clothes,

Helen looks positively masculine.

What?

Helen. You said you were

getting a ride home from Helen.

- Were you spying on me?

- No, no. I was just looking out my window.

Then you were looking

at Dennis Riley, Andy.

He was my mother's lawyer.

He had papers for me to sign.

What kind of papers?

Something about my mother's estate.

What is this?

- Your mother's estate?

- Yes.

You told me she barely got by

on a social security check.

And now she's Lady Astor?

Come on, Andy.

There was a small account.

It handled the cemetery arrangements.

The money's run out.

Dennis wanted to talk to me about.

Now what is it you want

to talk to me about?

Sorry.

Hey, listen, would you think

any less of me if I used a fork?

I'm beginning to lose my strength here.

I can't let that happen.

Lie back. Give it to me.

Lie back. That's right.

All the way back.

- Technique, huh?

- The expert.

It's all in my hands, see?

Open. Open up.

Good boy. Delicious, huh?

Open.

That's good. More.

Look, I think your strength

is returning.

It's a miracle.

Andy.

- What?

- He's there again.

So?

He's looking at us.

Sounds like he's playing

one of those electric keyboards.

Jesus, it gives me the creeps.

Be nice. His mother works at night.

I think she's a night nurse.

He's probably lonely.

We gotta get some curtains up in here.

It's a priority.

Curtains are now the priority.

Not until we decide what to paint.

There is no point in painting if we are

gonna rip up the floors with the plumbing.

So, really, we're back

to where we started.

Jeez.

Front door was wide open.

You scared the hell out of me.

- I should have knocked but...

- Oh, no, no.

Yeah. I have been working

with all this paint remover.

Sometimes I get a headache

from all the fumes.

- You should be taking a B complex.

- Say again?

Well, a loading dose of a B-12

would help to enhance the cerebral...

- Never mind.

- No, no, no.

Why did you stop? That sounded great.

Well, no, it just occurred to me

that I was suggesting

you take a jar of vitamins,

when the smart thing to do

would be to leave the door open.

Look at that. I saved myself $5.95.

I was in the neighborhood

looking at some houses

and I thought I would take you and

your wife up on that rain check for lunch.

Great. Well, Tracy is out at her class

but I can get cleaned up

and we could go out ourselves.

- Sounds good.

- All right. Okay, I'll be right back.

So this is a real Victorian, huh?

Yeah, buried under

a hundred years of paint.

It was part of the underground railroad

during the civil war.

What it lacks in comfort,
