Two?

A scene of explicit

Sexual activity.

How old are you, tyler?

You still live at home?

How did you know?

I called you yesterday,

An older woman answered.

Your mom?

There's nothing to be

Embarrassed about.

I lived at home till i was 35.

It's common in italy,

for example.

Are you italian?

Do i look italian?

No...

Let's continue.

"D"?

Ah... d...

Explicit and gratuitous

depiction of urination,

Defecation or vomiting.

"H"?

A scene where an animal has been

abused in the making of a film.

Good.

I like the way you recited

the guidelines, tyler.

The slight hesitation

in your voice...

Your tone seemed to indicate

A certain flexibility.

It's important.

Our role here has changed recently.

We're here to classify.

Censorship is not a priority.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Please...

I can't tell you

How helpful these are.

A friend took them last year.

This couch?

About... $800.

Was it a... foldaway?

Yeah.

This was a guest room?

I suppose.

These butterflies,

they're pictures?

They're butterflies.

They're real butterflies?

Yeah, mounted.

Wow!

What would be

The approximate value?

Hum...

That blue one, 60;

That one, 80...

340...

340 for the whole thing...

With the frame...

The certificate?

That's my diploma.

What did it cost to frame?

50... 50 $ .

50 $...

Let's try to itemize

The stuff on the fireplace.

They're mostly personal things.

The more we could list,

the more you could get back.

Okay...

Was this a purebred?

How much did you pay

for it, 500, 600 $?

What was...

The approximate value?

Noah?

Yes?

Any word about the claim?

Not yet.

What's the problem?

It's complicated, lorraine...

When you live

At your place of business...

Sorting inventory from

personal belongings...

I've been through that

Weeks ago.

I'm as anxious as you are.

The sooner we get this settled,

the happier we'll both be.

It'll work out.

We owe you so much.

No, you don't.

Yes, you've done so...

You are two wonderful people

Who had the bad luck

To meet with a catastrophe.

It's my responsibility

To get you back on your feet

As quickly as possible.

Okay?

And you'll be.

Say hi to tim.

What exactly are we

listing here, noah?

Your valuables, arianne.

Of a certain lifestyle.

Once that lifestyle's

been destroyed...

You build it up again.

From what, noah?

To what?

To what it was.

Why?

Because that's what you had.

That means that's

what i have to have.

That's what your

claim was based on.

What you need to...

Return things to normal.

Which is?

Whatever you need

To feel like you're

functioning in the right way.

This is where it started.

I know.

How?

The inspector told me.
