You know,

high school to college,

it can be a big transition,

especially if you're not

from the city,

so-so we try to help out

with that transition

in a number of ways.

Wow, that's a real

accomplishment.

Congratulations.

I mean, you're not in yet,

but...

no, things are looking

pretty good.

We do an all-campus picnic,

which is a nice way

for the incoming students

to acclimate themselves

to the college.

For me, the most exciting thing

about this place is the classes.

So you don't want to go

to college?

You know, I'm not up to date

on the course catalog.

One of the great things

about this school is, you know,

you have a campus

called New York City.

Greatest city in the world,

they say.

I thought your essay was-

was interesting.

A spell-check might be nice

on these essays.

Planning on taking

your boards again?

Love those extracurriculars.

Have you heard

about the meal plan?

Fantastic.

Where do you see things going,

you know,

after-after college?

Hey!

Mm, mm, mm-hmm

Hmm, mm

Look at how life

has gone today

My sweet love is gone away

My sweet love is gone today

My sweet love

is gone away now

Mm, mm

Look at how life

has gone away

My sweet love is gone away

My sweet love is gone today

My sweet love

is gone away now

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

Yours or mine?

Mine.

You can have it if you want,

though.

Is that a new shirt?

Uh, yeah, it is.

Do you like it?

Don't ask me that.

Why?

Because it's not my job

to make you feel good

about yourself anymore.

Mmhmm

Look at how life

has drived away

My sweet love is gone away

My sweet love is gone today

My sweet love

is gone away now

Mm-hmm

That'll be all for you?

- Hmm?

- Anything else?

Oh, no, that's it.

That's a nice shirt.

Thanks.

Oh, my baby

Oh, my love

Oh, my baby, now

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

Mm-hmm,

mm-hmm

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

Mm-hmm,

mm-hmm

Hello?

Jesse Fisher?

Yeah?

It's your favorite Communist.

Professor Peter Hoberg?

Screw you.

I'm not a Communist.

How you doing?

Oh, you know.

Listen, I don't want to

take up too much of your time,

but here's why I'm calling.

Ever since I announced

that I was packing it in,

it's funny, but this whole place

has finally decided

that they don't really hate me

after all.

Now, I know Ohio is not

as glamorous as New York,

but they're throwing me

a retirement dinner thing

at the end of the month,

and they asked me to invite

any former students

that might want to lie and say

some nice things about me.

And since you're one of

the great liars that I know...

When is it?

Weekend of the 25th.

You know, check your schedule.

Okay.

Checking now.

Uh, looks like I'd have to shift

some things around, but yeah.

I'll be there.

Hi.

Look at this.

How are you?

Ah.

- Jesse.

- Yeah, hi.

Hi, I'm David.

This is Susan.

- Hi.

- Hey.

Peter warned you

that we'd be here?

He did.

He did, yeah.

We're making him take care

of us while we're here.

How was your drive?

It was good, yeah.

Pleasant, actually.

Peter, Jesse's here!

So it's good to be back?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's weird.

I drove up the hill.

I suddenly felt like

I was seeing

an ex-girlfriend

or something.

- The one that got away.

- Exactly.

Zibby loves it here so much,

she gets sad to come home

on breaks.

Zibby?

Sorry.

Elizabeth, our daughter.

She's a sophomore.

Ah.

She's in the improv group.

We came up

to see one of her shows.

- How was it?

- Hilarious.

Uh, filthy but hilarious.

So how do you guys know Peter?

He was my camp counselor.

No way.

He made us sing pro-union
