This Is 40 Page #5

This isn't fun.

Just listen to these words, okay?

Just listen to the words.

I don't understand the words.

This is lyrics.

This is poetry.

This is what is going to

survive in a hundred years.

It just doesn't

make people happy.

Makes me happy.

I can dance to it.

But you're the only one

in the room who's happy.

Sometimes I wish just

one of you had a dick.

Well, we don't want one.

Is there something that you can

do to be helping me right now?

Yeah, I'm ready to help.

Just tell me what to do.

Can you go get

a lunch box or something?

For me or for them?

Charlotte!

I've got a test!

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Charlotte, I'm going to kill you!

Hi, Debbie.

Hi. Any day now, huh?

Not really.

Three months, still.

Hi.

Hi.

Katie's dying for a play date.

Let's hook these two up.

That would be great. Okay,

I'll call you. Great.

Okay, great.

No.

No, what?

No.

What?

No.

She's sweet.

She's evil.

Hello. Hi.

Hi.

Listen, Charlotte really

needs to get here on time

because she needs the extra

time to just settle in.

Oh. We are on time.

Being on time

means being early.

Okay.

It's nice to see you in class.

We'd like to see more of you.

I come to...

Hi, Debbie.

Grandma Molly.

How are you? I'm so happy

about the science fair.

Thank you for coming.

It's going very well, I heard.

Yeah. I love you. You

look so beautiful!

Happy birthday. I just

learned that you're 40.

Are you 40?

Yeah.

I remember when I was 40,

and then I blinked,

and there I was,

going to be 90.

My God, where did it go?

One day, you're going to blink

and you're going to be 90.

And I won't be around to see it,

and that makes me very sad.

I'm telling you.

I'm warning you.

Don't blink. Don't blink.

And then

you missed the mortgage payment,

and that's the second mortgage.

You gotta tighten your belt.

You gotta go home, sit down,

look at your expenses,

come clean with Debbie.

Oh, God.

I can't tell Debbie.

You've got to tell her, Pete.

I mean, she knows it's bad, but

she has no idea just how bad.

If you sell the house, it'll

really buy you some time.

No, Debbie's not really

into selling the house.

As your business manager and your

friend, I can't recommend that.

Hey, how funny would it be

if I bought your house?

Okay. Bye.

Hang in there.

From the

retro label, Unfiltered,

comes the first Graham Parker &

The Rumour record in 30 years.

When we play together,

the magic was just ridiculous.

And I think what we've

got is just so great.

What are you doing?

I'm contextualizing him as one of

the great figures in rock history.

You can't show him

in his prime in '77,

and then jump straight

to him as he is now.
