- Oh, that's so great.

Oh! Did you see that?

Would you mind

just taking a photo?

[sighs] I hate my life.

It might take

a little bit of time,

but you're gonna love it

here in Arizona.

- I don't...

- Let's face it...

You being here

makes more sense for all of us.

We can't jump on a plane every

time something happens to you.

What are you talking

about, "happens to me"?

You could slip and fall

at any moment.

I don't want

to overstate the dangers

for a woman your age

living alone,

but I did research online,

and it's pretty alarming.

But you do know, I mean,

I'm really not that old.

Well, no, you're not, Mom,

but neither was Dad.

I know, honey, I know.

I need a coffee.

Well, the good coffee

is all the way upstairs.

Mom, why don't you

wait down here?

Wait down here? Sure.

God forbid, I can't go up

an escalator at my age.

But hurry back. I could slip

and fall at any moment.

- Just sit there, Mommy.

- Ooh!

- I'll get you a chamomile?

- [sighs] Oh, God. Yeah, thanks.

- Be careful!

- Uh-huh.

[old man] They brought

the kids to see you?

- Yeah.

- [old man] That's good.

- Oh, God, what?

- [cell phone ringing]

- Hello.

- [Carol] Have you ever been spanked?

- What?

- As an adult, sexually.

I mean, is this

what people are doing?

Carol, it's Diane.

You dialed the wrong number.

No. Have you not

read the book?

[Diane] Yes. I've read it.

Of course I have.

- And?

- I don't know who her lawyer is,

but she should not have

signed that contract.

Look, clearly,

we have things to discuss.

I'm gonna call

an emergency book club.

That means you got to

get back here, pronto.

I'd come back

for an emergency colonoscopy,

but it's just a little bit

more complicated here.

Oh, God.

How is life in Scottsdale?

Well, I don't know,

I feel like I'm...

- [snoring]

- ...in an episode of The Walking Dead.

Wait a second. You sound

out of breath. Where are you?

I'm going to a... a dance

rehearsal and I'm late.

- You're late? You're never late.

- I know!

This book has got me in a total tizzy.

Just get back here.

I'll get back there. Bye.

[sighs]

- [Carol] Wow.

- Chin up.

[Latin music playing]

And one, two, three.

Go, two, three.

- One, two, three.

- One, two, three. Wait.

- Stop!

- [music stops]

Stop, stop, stop!

Honey, I think we're supposed

to go this way.

To the left.

Right. Which is what I did.

His left. This way.

Back, two, three.

Side, two, three.

Okay, I got it. I was wrong.

I was wrong, you were right.

My little Fred Astaire.

I will follow you

wherever you want to go.

- How about lunch?

- We start again.

You know what?

I'm wondering...

Do you think it would be

possible for us
