after 40 years of marriage?

Insane.

We've had this same damn discussion

for a thousand times.

It's not a discussion.

Don't tell me that. It's not a discussion.

This is an argument, Alex.

All right. Argument, discussion,

whatever you want to call it.

I'm just doing

what I think is right.

Okay, fine. All right. Fine, you do that.

But I'll tell you right now,

it doesn't really matter, because I'm

sure that Dorothy's gonna be fine.

There has been no movement at this point.

The driver

appears to be missing.

The NYPD, well,

they're not saying very much, but...

NYPD has released the identity

of the suspect as Abdul Pamir.

We know who he is,

but the real questions are, where is he?

What is he up to?

And why did he run away?

Did you take your pill?

Yes, love.

Thanks, Julie.

I've already spoken with some of

the people who were on the bridge

when the tanker jackknifed.

And they said their

immediate concern was...

I'm going up to the roof.

Okay.

Do you see what I'm seeing?

Larry, no!

Happy retirement.

Thanks for nothing.

Yeah. Wishful thinking.

My God!

This is embarrassing.

What are you doing, honey?

What is it? God.

What is it going to be?

Thank you very much. I love you.

That feels a little...

Wait. There's something

strange about this.

Something doesn't...

I don't know what's going on.

No, it is!

It's trouble! It's trouble!

- It's trouble!

- Aw!

This is the trouble.

You're adorable.

What are we gonna name her?

What do you think?

I got it. I know what.

Dorothy. Yeah. Dorothy.

You're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy.

Look. My God.

I love you so much.

I love you, too.

I thought you were watching the news,

honey.

Nothing new about it.

It's all the same old

stuff over and over.

I know. But I think people feel

safer when they hear things.

Look at these.

What do you think?

Well, they're kind of puny,

but we got tomatoes.

How many did we get

last year? Six? Seven?

Eight.

Eight?

That works out to be

about nine dollars apiece.

We could have gone to the Four

Seasons for less than that.

I'm gonna

go clean up. Okay?

We can clean up tomorrow.

The people are

coming tomorrow at 9:00,

and Lily has given me a whole

list of stuff that I have to do.

Nobody is going to be

house hunting tomorrow.

We don't know that.

Would you buy

an apartment this weekend?

You know, you're just

as happy as you can be

about all this bridge

business, aren't you?

Well, of course,

I planned this whole thing,

so I could thwart

Lily's open house tomorrow.

I wouldn't put it

past you. And...

Don't forget you promised Lily

you'd clean up your studio.

It looks like a mess, Alex.
