Garden State
Los Angeles Tower,
this is Transworld 22 Heavy.
We are going down!
Repeat, engines two and...
L.A. Tower, this is...
Mayday! Mayday!
22 Heavy, pull up! Pull up!
Andrew,
this is your father.
Hello?
Look, you don't call me back,
so I don't know how to do this.
If you're not gonna
return my calls...
then there's no way
for us to communicate...
Look, I don't know
how to do this...
but you're gonna need
to come home now.
Last night...
Your mother died
last night, Andrew.
She drowned.
Last night,
she drowned in the bath.
Ten rsums just today.
They come in every day
from Idaho or Milwaukee or Florida.
And you know what they want even more than
a guest spot on Everybody Loves Raymond?
They want your job. This cannot happen again.
You have two tables.
You are 30 minutes late.
And if I ever say this again,
your job will go to...
Todd Slauson
from Duluth, Minnesota.
Sparkling or flat?
Waiter 10,
do you have your earpiece in?
for Table 101.
What the f*ck, man?
What, are you on break?
Nah, I'm just
messin'with you.
Uh, we'll have four
Ketel Red Bulls and...
And I'll have a Ketel cosmo
with a Red Bull and some bread ASAP.
We don't have bread.
What do you mean?
How can you not have bread?
Uh, we're a Vietnamese restaurant.
We just don't have bread.
But you're
not Vietnamese.
No, I'm not.
Can I have something to chew on?
F*ck. Bamboo, whatever.
I'll see what I can find.
Waiter number 12...
Flight Number 121
with nonstop service...
to Newark International
will be departing from Gate 32.
Shit, yo.
Holy shit.
What's up, man?
Largeman, what are you
doing here?
Uh, that's my mom.
- F*ck.
- Oh, f*ck.
Sorry.
Yeah.
So, welcome back home.
Thanks.
So what have you
been doing?
You still, uh,
acting and shit, right?
- Yeah.
- L-In L.A., right?
- Yeah.
- That's cool.
I hear that place
is, like, fucking crazy.
My cousin's a writer out there.
Says that place is mad crazy.
He's, like, writing a movie
about snowboarders or some shit.
I don't...
I don't know.
Um, but I should
introduce you to him, Largeman.
Maybe you two
could do something together.
Yeah, definitely.
What are you
doing tonight, man?
Uh, nothing.
No real plans.
I'm just in town
for a couple days, so...
You should
come out with us.
We're gonna go over the Gleasons' house.
They're having some...
fucking huge party
or something.
- Supposedly.
- Well, yeah. Supposedly.
- Really?
- He lives up on the hill.
We'll probably go over there
after we bury your mom.
- Well, I got to shower.
- Same.
Do you know your mother
redid the hallway bathroom?
What?
I'm sorry. What?
Since I met her,
she never showed an interest in anything.
All of a sudden,
she wants to redecorate
a bathroom.
I helped her.
- Oh, must have been fun.
- Well, I sew.
I made you something.
It's a shirt.
That's... That's good.
Thank you.
Will you try it on now?
Now?
In case I have to fix it
before you leave again...
and we don't see you
for another nine years.
I wanna make sure it fits.
Oh. Okay.
You're gonna
love the material.
I used the leftovers from
your mother's design. Gorgeous.
Hi.
- Hello.
- How you doing?
"Well, besides that,
Mrs. Lincoln, how was the show?"
You know, I'm not really sure what
to say here, Dad, so I'm sorry.
Mm.
How are you?
I'm okay.
I've been getting these
really bad headaches though.
Um, they're really quick.
It's like a... just a little
lightning storm in my head.
Just for a second,
