- That's between Robin and me.
- And Celeste and Karen.
- All right.
Robin thinks that I'm too unemotional.
- Unemotional?
[laughs]
She knew that going' in.
- Thank you.
Exam... thank you.
She knew that going' in.
I haven't changed.
I'm the exact same guy
I advertised in the store window
You bet I'm unemotional.
She used to be fine with that.
It was a turn-on.
But suddenly it's not enough
for her anymore,
'cause she turned 40,
and she wants someone to panic with.
And she wants me to cry.
- About what?
- It's my choice.
She just wants me to reach down
and fall apart.
- Could you even do that?
- Are you kidding' me, Sully?
I'm a guy.
to Cooperstown.
- The Lou Gehrig speech.
So what's your plan?
- My plan is to stay separated
until she realizes
she can't change me,
gets scared that if she keeps
trying' to change me,
she's going to lose me forever,
takes me back as is,
gets used to being' 40.
We live happily ever after.
- Dismissed.

- Becket!
Beck!
- Hey!
- Don't you answer your door?
- You're a crisis addict.
Do you know that?
What is it now?
- This is your crisis this time.
Come on.
- Okay, what?
- This is your aunt's will.
- What?
No, no, no.
My aunt didn't have a will.
- Well, her good friend Martha Corn
dropped this off today,
so I checked it out.
This is your aunt's will.
She wrote it herself,
and it's completely legal.
This isnt your house, Beck.
- What are you talking about?
I'm her only kin.
I have this house through succession.
- You are her only kin.
- Then who the hell did she
leave the house to?
- The Delano Institute.
I don't know why...
- Why would she...
- But she left it to
a particular department there
run by one Dr. Warren Coven.
- Okay, what do we know about
this Coven guy?
- He runs a sleep lab.
- Which is what, exactly?
- I don't know;
I assume it's a lab where people sleep.
And now they've got your house,
I'm sure they're going to sleep a lot easier.
- So this is a sleep lab.
- Yeah, it's not a typical one.
The Institute had space issues,
and we take the brunt.
But we're very proud of our work.
We're regular contributors
to The Poly graphic Journal,
and we do treat the uninsured.
- People with problems sleeping.
- Uh, yeah.
Do you have sleep problems, Mr. Becket?
- Sometimes.
- Well, we're here to help.
Yeah, please take a look.
Ms. Carl is with us tonight.
She's a sleepwalker,
and we want to know why.
- And what was my aunt's problem?
I mean,
I'm assuming that you treated her
for some sort of sleep disorder.
Is that right?
- No, actually, she...
