in three ways.

Through their good deeds,

through the charity other

people give in their name

and, most important,

through the knowledge they

leave behind in this world

that benefits others.

Wow, that's beautiful.

Thank you.

I hope I was helpful.

Yeah, you were.

My wife, I uh, I gotta give her

a hand.

Do you mind?

Of course.

What happened?

Baseball.

Kids.

Jesus.

- I know.

You ok?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You should have called me.

I'm fine, really.

Hey.

Hello.

I'm imir shah.

Um, you must be Shane.

Yeah.

Um... my dad around, or...?

Yes, um, he's outside.

Greeting your mother.

I'm here to talk about

buying the boat.

That was my granddad's boat.

I know.

You sure you wanna buy it?

You don't think I should?

Well, I don't know, I mean,

it's just an old boat.

Hope it doesn't have termites.

Hello.

Hi.

Ellen, Mr. shah.

Mr. shah, I hear you're

interested in the boat.

I am. Please, call me imir.

It's nice to meet you, imir.

-Pleasure.

I'm just gonna put these down

and grab a drink.

Would you like something?

-No, thank you.

He already has a beer.

I also have real masala

chai tea, if you'd rather.

That sounds lovely,

thank you, Ellen.

Great. Sure.

Do you need a hand?

No, I'm fine. Thank you.

You really do have

a beautiful home.

Thank you.

Yeah, we're uh,

we're working on it.

You're coming home from work,

is that right?

Yeah.

She teaches at the uh,

community college.

What do you teach?

I teach, um, comparative

cultures.

You're an anthropology teacher.

Ethnology, actually.

You must have read Levi Strauss.

You know his work?

I was under the impression

his ideas were central

to ethnological methodology.

Well, in structuralism, yeah.

A bit out of fashion these days.

Why, are you an-

anthropologist?

Unfortunately, no.

I'm a computer engineer.

My father threatened

to pull me out of Oxford

if I switched disciplines.

Oxford?

God, I'd love to study

at Oxford.

It's not nearly as glamorous

as the brochures and films

make it seem.

We should probably get back

to the business at hand.

Um, I'll take it.

That boat.

I accept your price.

Are you serious?

Yes.

What was the price?

Sixteen.

Great. Great.

I uh, don't want to change

your mind,

but I thought we were

gonna negotiate.

Well, you seem like

honest people.

I'm sure what you're asking

is a fair market price.

Thank you.

That's nice.

That's nice, yeah.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Thank you.

I hope you enjoy it.

This tea would not be

out of place

at a cafe in Karachi, Ellen.

It tastes like home.

That's sweet of you.

I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Imir's been helping me write

dad's eulogy.

Really?

I'm surprised he mentioned it
