me for like 10 minutes?

I'll owe you,

and I know I already

owe you for the beer,

but I will really, really owe you.

But, but I don't look related to you.

Maybe I'm adopted. What

the f*** does she know?

Probably not much.

So will you come?

- Hi.

- My God, you actually came through.

And you have the fake wedding ring.

Nice touch.

Mrs. Hunter?

Hey.

Hello.

So, I'm becoming concerned that

Annika is not taking

steps towards her future.

Got it.

Well, I'll be sure to talk

to her about it at home.

So, we're good here?

Mrs. Hunter, I realize you must

have a very busy life. But...

I was hoping that we could

all come up with a plan today.

Okay, sure. A plan. Do you have one?

Oh, uh...

I don't know. I mean...

It kind of seems stupid

to plan that far in advance

when you're just gonna change

your mind anyway, right?

I mean, say you had a kid,

and then you realize you

didn't really want the kid.

Was there a pregnancy?

No, she's talking about her mom. Me.

Her mom.

And as her mom, I'd say that...

I'm sure it does seem kind of stupid

to make some sort of rigid

plan for the future. But...

It's stupider not to start

paying attention to who you are

and what makes you happy.

Otherwise, you just float.

So...

There's the start of her plan.

Good meeting, Mrs. Halpsky. You've

given us a lot to think about.

Yes, well... Yes.

So this is kind of an

interesting job to have, huh?

What kind of licensing does it take?

Are you questioning my qualifications?

No. No. Never mind. I...

I was just curious. Come on.

You worked her over.

You can take that stuff off now,

you know. She totally bought it.

Remember half an hour ago when

you said you'd really owe me?

Holy sh*t. You collect fast.

I need to lay low for a

week. Your dad works, right?

So, my dad usually

comes home around 7:00,

but he's going to some lame,

divorcee mixer, so he'll be late.

This is the living room.

And this...

Ooh, this is Lynn.

- Jesus Christ.

- Yeah...

My mom bought her when

she was Finding Nemo

'cause she thought that

turtle was cute, but...

Then she realized that

this kind doesn't swim.

So she ditched you,

too, didn't she, Lynn?

You don't really have

to do anything for her.

Just don't step on her.

She likes to hide back here.

Do I need to feed her?

Um, you can try, but we're

pretty sure she's an anorexic.

Cool pet.

So, this is the kitchen. You can

basically eat whatever you want.

But this is his box of wine.

So if you have some, use the funnel

with the Tupperware and fill it

up with a little bit of water.

It's what we do. I don't

think he really notices.

And tonight, this guy Dan

has invited some people over
