Four years.

What happened then?

I graduated.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Mr. Singer.

That's OK.

Well, if you had some glue...

I'm really good at gluing.

I could just glue it.

I mean, I could just

snap this back together.

No. I'll take care of it.

Thanks for coming by.

Mr. Singer,

I'm having a really bad day...

and I'm sure you know

what that's like.

I really need this job.

Thanks for coming by.

I'll let you know.

Where is my music?

Not in the refrigerator,

that's for sure.

Iforgot.

You'll have to do a marketing.

We're going to need...

We'll need, um...

I noticed there's a list

started there.

Yeah, it's my wife's writing.

I haven't wanted to...

Well, I'll just add on

from there.

You and Corrina

are going to go shopping...

for some breakfast

and pick up some other things.

The keys to my wife's car

are on the dresser.

Do you know how to drive?

I'm an old pro.

I was just testing the brakes.

It'll do your heart good

to know they're fine.

I made a slight booboo...

which I hope you won't

tell yourfather about.

But you won't

because you don't talk.

You're the short, silent type,

aren't you?

Oh, here she comes.

A hip-hap-hoppy

good morning to you.

Welcome to Terry's Diner.

So glad you came that extra mile

for breakfast with a smile.

I'll be right there!

So, what'll it be for starters?

I need a cup

of your strongest coffee.

Would you like a hot cocoa?

Pecan waffles?

What about the Slim Starter?

Ladies, I ain't got all day.

Wilma, where's your boss?

He's inside.

Why don't you slip

into the backseat.

I got to talk to my friend here.

I know what

you're going through.

I used to do this.

Come on in.

OK. Just a minute.

She's coming over the side.

You in?

All right. You all right?

Molly, I understand

that you don't want to talk.

I know you have your reasons.

But we have to figure out

a way to communicate...

so if I ask you something

and the answer is yes...

pat your nose like that.

Then I'll know.

If the answer is no,

don't do anything.

Do you want to have

the pecan waffles...

with lots and lots of syrup

and butter?

All right.

That's good, what you're doing.

Would you rather have

the Slim Starter...

with cottage cheese...

the hard-boiled egg,

and the tomato?

Honey, if it's a choice

between those pecan waffles...

and that stupid egg...

for God sakes,

pat your little nose.

Good try, Wilma.

Ah! She did it! She did it!

Mr. Potato Head.

Mr. Potato Head.

Mister...

Potato Head...

Was alone in his bed.

I love it.

I love it.

Mr. Potato Head,

the untold story.

Sid, I have

a great opening here.

I tried, uh...

I'm with you. Come on.

I know how hard it's been.
