[Older Man] Of course,

I'll get you one right away.

[Anna] We should go soon.

- Yeah.

- It's early.

He's got surgery

in the morning.

He needs to get some sleep.

It's still early.

[Steven] We've have got

surgery in the morning.

Fine, okay.

How are the kids?

They're doing very well.

Bob has started piano lessons.

The teacher says

he's very talented.

Now we have to get him one

so he can practice at home.

I just haven't gotten

around to it yet.

I'm renovating the clinic.

I'm on the phone all day.

Our daughter started

menstruating last week.

- Great.

- Yes.

She was a little scared

but she's okay now.

You haven't seen her in ages.

Not since last summer

at the school choir.

Recital.

You and Mary should come

over one night for dinner.

You really shouldn't

stay late, either.

Drink that cocktail you've

ordered, get yourself home.

You've gotta be at the

hospital in six hours.

- Time to go, darling.

- Yes.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight, Matthew.

- It was a good night.

- I think so.

(eerie music)

[Steven] Do you

have many friends?

[Martin] Not that many.

I don't think people can

have a lot of friends.

I mean, it's difficult.

The most important thing in life

is to have good friends,

not lots of friends.

That's what my dad used to say.

Your father was

absolutely right.

Yes, I know.

I have a very good friend who

plays basketball in school.

Sometimes we play it together.

I also consider my

mom to be a friend.

I know it might sound strange,

but ever since my father died,

we've been very

close, me and my mom.

We talk about things,

lots of things.

And she helps me as much as

she can with a lot of stuff.

I help her, too.

I'd like to ask you a favor.

Only if you want to, of course.

I don't want you to feel

pressured or obliged.

It just seemed to me like a

good idea, so I thought I'd ask.

I'd like you to come

by my house one day.

To meet my wife and children.

I think you'll get along great.

What do you think?

(eerie music)

(doorbell rings)

[Anna] Good afternoon,

you must be Martin.

[Martin] That's right.

- You must be Anna.

- That's right.

[Martin] These

flowers are for you.

Your husband told me

you like orchids but

I couldn't find any fresh cut

ones so I brought you roses.

How do you like roses?

Thank you very much,

Martin, I love roses.

That's very kind of you.

Come on in.

Steven is waiting

for you in the yard.

(dog barking)

- This is Bob.

- Very nice to meet you.

[Steven] And this is Kim.

[Martin] Very

nice to meet you.

I brought you some little gifts.

[Steven] That's

very kind of you.

It's a key ring with a

musical note on it for Kim,
