So much to be done.

Out with the old, though,

isn't that what they say?

Yeah, I'll tell her you called.

I'll give her that message.

Hey, you know what?

You should write her one of your letters.

You know how much she loves

to get your letters.

My first thought was to

replace the carpeting,

but I think I'll just leave that be.

I'm gonna paint Mother's room

and this, the dining room,

but there is still just so much to be done.

But I have to be realistic.

Edward's gonna be here in a few days

and I just can't have the house

be in a state of utter chaos.

I just... I just can't.

I have to be done by Thursday

at the very latest

so I can begin preparations for our meal.

I think I've settled

on the trout recipe,

but I still haven't decided yet

on the other courses.

And believe it or not,

I haven't even thought

about dessert!

I know! It's just ridiculous!

Anyway, the Good Lord will take my hand.

He always does.

In the meantime,

your comments are very welcome.

I'll call you Adam,

and I'll call you Eve.

Tropical fish,

they've been Edward's favorite

since he was a little boy.

They were his abiding passion.

But he doesn't have any of his own

because Gloria says they're

too expensive for a young family.

So, look what I got!

I don't care about the money.

I don't care about that at all.

I want this to be Edward's sanctuary.

Aren't they beautiful?

The pretty one is Eve

and the other one is Adam.

He just left his wife.

Isn't it romantic?

It's like Titanic,

only the lovers have

survived the catastrophe

and learned to live together

forever underwater.

No one can stand between them now

or tear them apart.

They'll be happy for the

rest of their lives.

Sh*t!

F*** anus!

I know it's in here somewhere!

Where the hell have you put it?

This is f***ing ridiculous!

Edward and I both enjoy

a nice espresso after dinner.

We have a beautiful machine here for that,

but Mother, in one of her spiteful moods,

has hidden it somewhere.

She is a bitter, spiteful old woman!

Hello?

Yeah, I would like to buy

your espresso machine.

B25-8261.

Yes, but before I order,

I just need to know something for certain.

If I order it today,

will it be here by Friday?

I don't care about how much that costs.

That doesn't matter to me.

Okay, great!

Yes, that will be perfect!

Let me give you my credit card number.

It's a perfectly good number.

Just try it again.

Okay, fine, whatever!

Just... Thanks for nothing.

It's a f***ing conspiracy.

Yes, yeah, yeah, I did...

I did make those purchases,

but can't you just increase my limit?

No, this is... This is an emergency.

I mean, don't you care

about your customers?

I mean, what am I supposed to do?
