since 2005.

Well, we've got dangerous

riptides in Malibu.

What do you need to know if you're

headed to the beach this weekend?

Well, it may be sunny...

Lor?

Lori?

Don't you bring your mail in

anymore?

Lor.

Lori?

You're not bringing the mail in?

Jesus.

Mom! You have to ring

the doorbell.

But I've got the key.

Well, what if I had company?

You mean like Jacob?

Who told you that?

Your friends at the baby shower.

Mom, please don't talk

to my friends, okay?

And you're not supposed to go as a "plus

one" if there isn't a one to plus.

But you never told me

if you were going or not.

Oh, did you get my message

about the serial killer?

The guy that's going all around Southern

California targeting young women?

Well, we should be fine, then.

Well, I was thinking that we

should get a system in place where

every time you're leaving

the house, you call me,

and then you text me

when you're home.

That's crazy.

Well, I just mean until, you

know, until they catch the guy.

And if you run into him, you

know what you're supposed to do.

It's, like, eyes,

throat, crotch.

Crotch.

Mom, maybe you shouldn't drop

around here all the time.

But I barely see you anymore.

Well, you know,

I've got a ton of work to do,

so, you know,

it requires a lot of research.

I'm just saying,

I'm not in the position to be

very entertaining right now.

I don't have any good stories.

Is there anything

you wanna talk about?

Didn't you hear

what I just said?

What I need right now

is to write.

Okay?

This is my office.

This is my desk.

These are my co-workers.

If I was in a real office, you

wouldn't come in and sit on my desk

and pet my co-workers,

would you?

No?

I've been talking to my

therapist about this, and...

I think it's time that we...

Set some boundaries.

Sure.

Yep.

I get it.

You need to write...

And I need to...

Get out of your office.

But you don't have to leave

right now.

No, it's fine. It's fine.

I don't want to be crossing

anybody's boundaries.

I don't know. She seems

so angry all the time.

You've been seeing her

for a while.

Has she always seemed so angry?

And I just, I don't...

I don't want her to hurt

herself or anything.

I mean, does she talk

to you about that?

I'm not saying that I want

to know what she says.

I'm just saying that if she

talks to you about stuff...

I hope she talks to you

about that stuff

and that you talk to her

about that stuff,

and that you make sure she doesn't

hurt herself or anything.

And, you know, maybe also tell her

to stop smoking so much grass.

I know she's in... Some stage

of grief or something, but...

And what about you?

What about me?
