Hmm?

What? Not even a hello?

What was she

doing here?

Every time I turn around,

she's here.

Are you inviting her?

She dropped by

after work.

Yeah.

Maybe she has a crush

on you-- whatever.

but that doesn't give you the

right to be rude to people.

I just worry about

you and strangers.

She's not a stranger.

This is my home,

you're a guest in it

just like Linda

is a guest in it,

and I expect my guests

to be nice to each other.

I'm sorry.

I'll see you.

Linda.

Jeff, hi.

I want to apologize

for the other day.

Apologize?

I was rude to you.

It's okay, I mean,

I surprised you

and--

after the other

night and all.

Well, have a nice day.

Damn, I've been

doing that all day.

Can you help me

find a vase?

You were right. I was

rude to Linda yesterday.

So, I went over

to apologize.

That's sweet of you,

Jeffrey.

I was too hard

on you.

I upset you, so--

Thanks.

Vase, vase--

God, I've been

so off today.

I put rice in my bowl this

morning instead of oatmeal.

Thank God I've got

you around.

Don't know what I'd

do without you.

Here's one.

Oh, thanks.

I'll get it.

What do you think?

Nice.

So, what was the delivery?

Binoculars, telescope,

reading glasses?

I don't think

you should see it.

Oh, don't tease.

Seriously, Ali,

I don't know.

What are you

talking about?

It's the personal effects

from your accident.

What do you mean,

"personal effects"?

What's in it?

Some children's shoes.

A few purses, a handkerchief,

a camera.

Oh my God...

There's a letter.

Who would send this?

Who the hell would send this?

It's the insurance company's

policy

to release the items

once the--

Give this to me.

It's just unbelievable

how it hit me.

I'm a little stunned,

I guess.

Thanks, Linda,

that's why I called.

I just wanted to hear

a friendly voice.

Yeah, he's here

but you know how it is.

He's a man,

it's just not the...

Yeah, you got it.

Bye.

What are you doing?

Just making sure

the camera still works.

What did I hear?

It was some things

you had recorded.

Here, take it.

No, I don't want it.

Just promise me you'll

erase everything on it.

You sure?

Ali?

Can I get you

anything?

Ali?

Ali?

Wake up!

Ali, come on.

You should go up

to bed.

Jeffrey?

Get ready for bed

and I'll go get

your pill, okay?

Mind if I come up?

There you go.

I'll see you in

the morning.

Bye.

Ali?

Ali?

Are you awake?

You are so beautiful.

What's the matter?

Nothing,

I'm just restless.

Tired of sitting around here

all day and doing nothing.

Well, why don't we go

for a walk

when I'm done with this?

No.

Is Linda home?

I don't know.

Give her a call.

No, I want to

surprise her.

I could tell her
