Yeah. No, I just mean, you know.

I remember when flying

was a treat.

People got dressed up even.

Now I see these young girls

in the airport

in their jammy bottoms.

Yeah. Well, I can see

you still put in the effort.

Thanks, Pete.

This is some place.

This is like a mansion.

Thanks. Yeah, well,

double-height entry

and Maureen had

to have palladian windows,

so we put those in.

Very classical.

Yeah. I feel like

Jefferson at monticello.

I'll go tell Julie you're here.

Heh, heh.

Okay. I'll just

have a look around.

Okay. Julie?

Oh, my god.

Look at this place.

Mm-hm.

Mm-hm.

Mm. My, my, my...

Wow.

Man.

Uh, Julie's pretty tired.

But she's glad you're here

and looks forward to seeing

you in the morning.

Wrong. No, no, no.

Julie is not

looking forward to sh*t!

Hey, ju-jee.

Nice of you to grace us

with your presence.

Couldn't make the wedding,

but here you are

right in time for the divorce.

Okay. Nobody wanted me

at that wedding.

Do you have a gig

or do you always dress

like a hooker from night court?

Going through a separation,

it can be a crazy time.

I'm not crazy, dad.

I've actually

never felt such clarity.

Well, there's actually a book

called crazy time.

Oh, shut up, Pete!

Honey, listen.

This whole thing

is not a big deal.

I read something in parade magazine.

No big deal?

A lot of women your age having

starter marriages and...

This was not

a "starter" marriage.

I was gonna marry Max,

stay with him, have his kids,

and actually raise them

to adulthood.

Oh, okay. Julie,

just take it easy.

Why are you defending her?

- She is your Max.

- What?

She walked out on you...

Hey, no.

Just like Max walked out on me.

But I was

never unfaithful, Julie.

Ju-jee.

So, um...

We'll try again in the morning.

Yeah, of course.

I'll, uh, give you

a ride to the hotel.

Oh...

Oh. Ha-ha-ha.

I... I'm so sorry.

I could hardly afford

the plane ticket, you know?

And, uh...

Well, you know, I lost my car.

Yeah.

I'm filing for chapter 11.

I know.

So I just thought since you and

Maureen built this big, new house

that it wouldn't be a problem.

It's not a problem, space-wise.

It's, uh...

It's just...

I don't know, a boundary thing.

But it's fine. Mm.

Hope Maureen doesn't mind.

No, mo's very chill.

I'm the one that tends to get

worked up about certain things.

Maybe Julie gets that from you.

The bathroom is en suite.

Oh. Okay.

So, um, welcome.

Sigma, come.

Come.

I trained her myself.

Heh-heh-heh.

Okay, well...

Welcome. Okay.

Good night, Linda.

Good night, Pete.

Linda.

Linda! Huh?

I was a real b*tch

last night, huh?

Well, it was late. Heh.

My therapist has me on Effexor,

and we need to titrate
