with this level.

Can we have

a few more moments, please?

That's better.

Sure,

you can finish this level.

But first you gotta tell me,

what do you think?

The dress.

Great. I actually

thought it was yours.

- Jake?

- Love it. Love the feathers.

What are you writing?

Nothing much,

only an idea that occurred to me.

An idea for a short story.

A young girl grows up on

the shores of a lake, as you have.

She loves the lake as the gulls do,

and she is as happy and as free

as they are.

And then here

you can counter.

But a man sees her...

who happens to come her way,

and he destroys her out of idleness,

as this gull here has been destroyed.

Okay, good, what are

you saying to her right now?

That's lovely, I love that.

But what are you saying to her,

do you think?

Where is it?

Why don't you come and

help me prepare dinner tonight?

Where's Mom?

Your mother had

an emergency with a patient.

She's not gonna be home 'til tonight.

- Another suicide?

- Jake!

Dad, I can't find my drawings.

What drawings? Help me cut these.

The series I made on Percy Jackson.

- The Sea of Monsters.

- Those old drawings?

Yes.

Did you look in the trunk?

Yes, Dad, I looked.

They're not there.

Well, I don't know, Jake,

maybe they got thrown away.

Why would you do that?

They're my drawings!

Why don't you just make new ones?

'Cause new ones are never

gonna be like the old ones.

Jake, we moved.

We got rid of furniture.

We threw away clothes,

gave away books.

- We got a new apartment.

- So?

Hey, let me tell you something.

It's good to get rid of stuff.

It's a little hard at first,

but then it feels really good.

Just gotta learn to let go.

I play Trigorin,

a celebrated writer

and the boyfriend of a...

famous actress...

Arkadina.

There's also Nina,

who is the neighbor's daughter,

and she wants to be an actress.

And at first we think

she's in love with Konstantin.

She ends up having an affair

with my character, Trigorin.

Sounds complicated.

Mm. Well, it's complex.

But it's also unexpected.

It has a lot of humor in it, too.

What part?

Good. You're already eating.

- Hi, Mom.

- How was it?

Fine. She's doing good.

The problem now is her husband.

The last thing I want to do

right now is talk about work.

I was telling Jake

about the new play.

I'm starving.

I thought you weren't working

with the train anymore.

I thought you were gonna do

Broadway now.

It's not that simple.

You said you weren't doing

this non-profit stuff.

That the strategy was

to reach a wider audience.

Things have changed.

You should applaud your father

for being adaptable.

It's what life's all about.

- Hey, Tony! We need one more!
