Stir 'em up.
Watch the tea!
Watch my China!
Four crack.
East.
So who was that
young man you were with
the other day,
quite a studmuffin.
One of my young
lovers of course.
Five bam.
But you have so many,
it's like a revolving door.
You know people are
beginning to talk.
Yes, we are quite
notorious here.
Well if only that were the case.
Rebecca and I would be
having much more fun here.
Two flower.
Still though, all
those young men.
Keeps you young, doesn't it?
You'll never tell, I know.
Oh, we don't want that from you.
I never saw this coming.
I guess I was confused.
It's all about love, after all.
For 50 years, never
had a babysitter.
It's a caretaker, mom.
She's not here to babysit you.
Listen ma, it's not
even about the stairs.
Do you remember what happened
last time you mixed up
a caretaker can help you
keep 'em all straight.
What was wrong with
Carol, I liked her!
She wasn't qualified, and it
really doesn't even matter
if you liked her, we're
not doing this for
a rent-a-friend here.
I guess my choice means nothing.
No, that's not it, mom.
I just meant...
you know better than
your senile mom, right?
That's not it.
I hire people all the
time, it's what I do.
I just know what I'm
looking for, that's all.
Come on ma.
What time is your flight?
Mom.
Never mind.
Thanks again for coming.
The pleasure is all mine,
it's great to meet both of you.
I understand how
this could be...
Awkward for you.
I'm here to help.
Well I'm glad to
hear that, thank you.
You have a wide
breadth of experiences.
Yes, I guess I'm a collector.
A collector?
Collecting
professions, as it were.
Excuse me, a moment.
Sorry about that, work.
Where were we?
Oh yes, a collector?
Now that's an interesting
way you put that.
Let's see here, you've
worked in health care,
it, entertainment and...
Excuse me, mortuary?
Yes.
I did that in college.
It was interesting,
but not really for me.
So, what brings you to Haley?
I've spent a lot of
time in big cities,
east coast, west coast...
I wanna get out of the rat race.
I just wanna go somewhere...
Simple.
Friendly.
Quiet.
Somewhere I can take
care of someone and...
Figure out my next step.
Do you uh...
Do you have any
questions about the job?
No, I think the job
description was pretty clear.
Similar to other jobs I've had.
Not to interrupt,
I just wanna say,
that although the
job is similar,
being a caregiver is
a huge responsibility,
and it's different
from place to place
and person to person.
I will do my best to
fit into your life
and to make it better.
Well thanks, I'm sure that...
have you ever been married?
Mom!
That, that has...
no.
It is a fair question.
If I'm gonna move in,
she has the right to know
than what's on my resume.
I've never been married.
I've been close a few times.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm not the
relationship kind.
Well I'm sure a pretty
woman like yourself
has had her chances.
Thanks, I suppose so.
Things just always
seem to fall apart.
I'm better single, I guess.
Well, I can understand that.
I don't know about her.
What's not to like?
She's got, she's got experience.
A great background,
good references.
I don't know.
She just seems too good.
Are you kidding me?
You don't want her here
'cause she's too right
for the job?
I don't believe this.
You know, mom, it
doesn't even matter.
I offered her the
job, she accepted.
We signed an agreement,
you do remember that right?
It was your agreement, not mine.
Dammit, I'm just trying to help.
You can't live here alone.
So you say!
You're damn right!
Look, you need help
and now you've got it.
Case closed.
I gotta go.
You always do.
I will call you next week, okay?
Everything will be
great, I promise.
This is some
house you have here.
How long have you lived here?
53 years.
Wow.
You don't see people
set down roots like that
much anymore.
Why did you move to
Haley in the first place?
My husband was a doctor.
You don't really
want me here, right?
It's nothing
personal, I just...
don't think you need help?
Maybe you don't.
And maybe your son
pushed you into this?
No, I didn't say that, i...
I know.
But I have eyes.
Listen, I really am here
to make your life better.
Really.
Is that your husband?
12 years ago this month.
I'm sorry.
Part of life, death
comes to us all.
Next stop.
This will be yours.
Thank you, it's very nice.
Oh no, it was a family friend.
Kind of ghastly, actually.
I don't know.
I rather like them.
Pretty, well-preserved.
Oh, you don't need to
go down those stairs.
No need to take
unnecessary chances.
I'm fine, it's no problem.
Did you know that trips
and falls are statistically
the most common injuries
among the elderly?
I can take a quick
look around myself.
Really, I'm fine.
And I insist.
What's down there?
Well, okay.
There's a doctor's old office.
Another bedroom.
Now let's see uhm, a workshop.
Storage, oh and
the new basement.
New?
Oh, of course new is relative.
We added it on the
house years ago.
I guess I'll make some tea.
Would you like some?
A lovely idea, please.
I'll be right back.
Perfect.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
A very spacious
basement you have.
