Yeah. Yeah, it's exactly

how it used to look.

- Why'd you take the box out?

- It's... It's interesting, actually.

I have to do a history report on a

historical figure from the last 50 years.

Really? So who are you doing?

Mom.

- Your mom's a historical figure?

- My teacher thinks it's a good idea.

- She said it's original.

- Yeah, it's original, all right.

- You know who would be really good?

- I kind of already started.

Maybe if you have time later

you can help me?

Sure, but not tonight.

I have to do payroll.

I don't have to do Mom.

- Who were you gonna say?

- Nobody, no. Mom's a good idea.

I got a call

from your math teacher today.

Says you've been sleeping in class.

I nodded off, like, twice

because he's so boring...

...and he's making

this huge thing out of it.

Well, bottom line is

it's gotta stop. Now.

So no more of those mocha things

after 5 and I want you in bed by 11:30.

We clear?

Hey.

I'm not punishing you, I just want you

to get your sleep, okay?

Now, you know

if there's anything bothering you...

...I'm here for you, right?

I know.

- Is there?

- What?

- Anything bothering you?

- No, it's the mochas. I'll cut back.

One thing's for sure.

You're just as good a cook as she was.

Dad.

Dad. We're gonna be late.

Come in.

Hello.

Surprise!

Hang on. Hang on.

It's not him. It's not him.

Hi. We thought you were

my little nephew...

...not that you look like

you're turning 10 today, but...

- Can I help you?

- Yes.

Is?

- Is this your house?

- Yes.

Well, I'm Tom Cutler.

I run the cleaning service you hired.

I'm sorry. We have a housekeeper

and we're really happy with her.

No, no, no. We're not that kind

of cleaning service.

I was saying, we did a job here

yesterday and inadvertently we...

Excuse me, sir.

We weren't home yesterday.

What kind of cleaning service

are you?

Oh, is your husband home?

Perhaps I could talk to him.

No, he's out for the moment.

You can talk to me.

Okay.

We cleaned up

after what happened.

After what happened?

- I'm sorry, Mrs?

- Norcut.

Norcut.

- Not Collins?

- No.

- Is this Ridgecrest Lane?

- Ridgewood Way.

See. There.

There's the mistake right there. Once

again, my office got things mixed up.

I'm sorry to have taken your time.

Three-Mary-four-four-

five-Charlie-three-seven-eight.

Hey. Sign these. I'm going to Betty's.

You want anything?

I'm sorry. There are no matches

for that case number.

Who called this in?

- West Trenton P.D.

- Who, exactly?

- Right there. Jones.

- Sir?

- Detective Jones, please.

- There's no one by that name, sir.

Oh, thank you.

- What happened? They stiff us?

- I'm just trying to sort some stuff out.
