be your mother...

- Wait. My mother?

- She said she was.

I wouldn't know,

I didn't know you had parents.

Get her on the phone.

There's just an address.

Stop by after work.

After work?

I've got seven layouts.

- Okay, Rog?

- Yes?

- We can't break this long.

- Break's over.

Thank you.

Now start nodding.

The client sees me telling you that the

smoke is not gonna cover the product.

Find out exactly where this is.

I rented the upstairs apartment

from Lucille.

You remember Lucille, she was

our cleaning lady when you were 6.

Oh. My mind was so cluttered

when I was 6.

Say hello to Lucille, David.

- Oh, hello, David.

- Hi.

- So good seeing you.

- Nice to see you.

- Meet my husband, Arthur.

- How do you do?

Oh, yeah, I remember Lucille.

I just thought she

was a little taller.

After 36 years of being married,

you pretend the whole

thing didn't happen?

Is that it, Mom?

Is that what your father said?

I just walked out

all of a sudden?

No, he didn't say anything.

We just looked for ketchup.

Well, I'll tell you

what happened.

You have no idea what it was

like since you moved away.

I mean, there was

nobody to talk to.

He'd come home and there

was still nobody to talk to.

I'd check his club chair.

That's how I knew if he was home.

I didn't leave because of the yelling.

I left because of the silence.

It's okay. You don't have to

tell me the whole thing.

David, it took every ounce of courage

I could muster to walk out that door.

That's right.

Who is to say that amoebas

don't make noise?

The whole point of this acting exercise

is uninhibited body motion,

uninhibited speech, sound.

Open it up.

Open it up.

Michael over here is making

very, very good amoeba noises.

- Zachary, Nancy, what are you doing?

- Making baby amoebas.

You wouldn't know how.

I would prefer asexual reproduction,

if you don't mind. Thank you.

Is this a required class,

Amoebas 101?

David.

Professor Donna Martin.

Fancy seeing you here,

or anywhere.

Whoo!

Open it up.

Open it up.

Use your vocal capacity.

Did I forget something?

You promised you were going to

come to my play, David. Remember?

Why don't you just admit to me

that you hate experimental theater?

- No, that's not true.

- You do, David.

I was doing an experiment to

see if I could enjoy it without

- actually being in the theater.

- Actually being in the theater.

I'm sorry.

No foreign amoebas, please.

Better.

Are we working you

too hard, Bubba?

- All right, take five.

- I gotta go to the bathroom.

There's a lot I'd like to

get through this hour.

Let's make this only a

15-minute "take five. "

Good work. Very nice.

Good amoeba-ing.
