HI therel

Hey Morrie,

what's up?

Okay If we postponed

your vlslt a blt?

Why?

Well, I just don't think

this is the ideal time

for you to

come home.

[Pop muslc

over car radlo]

What's wrong?

Nothlng. I just

thought that you

were one of two people

who actually wanted

me to come home.

Of course. I

always want you

to come home.

I know.

I'm glad

you understand.

Jay's gonna be

here a while, at

least a month.

I would llke to

accommodate you,

I really would,

there's just

one problem.

What's that?

[Car honks]

(Ida)

It's so weird

being back here.

Because of Gary?

(Betty)

Ida, your room

Is all ready.

There's fresh

towels on the bed.

I'm gonna stay

in the basement,

if that's okay.

It's out

of control.

I don't mind.

[Phone rings]

It's too blzarre

staylng In my

old room.

Hello?

HI, Nancy.

Well, we just sat

down to dlnner,

but what's up?

Why is

it bizarre?

I don't know.

Isn't it weird

sleeping in Mom

and Dad's room?

Really? That

Is strange.

I 'll call you back when

we're done. Thanks,

Nancy. Sorry.

That was Nancy

Kennedy on

the phone.

Jay, she says you gave

her something today

on Brock Street?

Nancy Kennedy?

Is she...

the blonde with

the false chest?

I mplants?

I think so.

I wondered

about that.

I don't

remember Nancy.

The blonde with

the false chest?

Anyway. She said

Jay gave her

She said you gave

a lot of people

Is 25 a lot

of people?

You gave 25

people 20 dollars?

I hope...

I know that's not

the 500 dollars

I gave you.

Honey, why dld

you do that?

[Sighs]

Another blll for

the washer-dryer

came today.

Okay.

There's a

lot of bllls

plllng up.

Okay.

Have your new washer

and dryer made

you happy?

Yes, Jay,

they have.

Would you llke

to know why?

I would.

Because now,

I don't have to spend

twenty minutes in

the morning

before I go to work

at the bank

scraplng soap partlcles and

resldue off Morrle's

and my clothes.

Because now I have

a washing machine

that doesn't bump, or quake

or travel halfway across

the basement

when you put more

than three items

in one load.
