I would love to.

I've always thought you'd be

great running your own practice,

you know that.

But you haven't had

the most stable job history.

This is a lot responsibility.

Wow, I haven't thought that.

Thank you.

Maybe that's

because you were too busy

trying to avoid accountability

by making a joke of everything.

Does it feel like

the HonestyZone's not quite

as constructive as it used to be?

You know, look,

I support you no matter what.

I just want you to be sure

this is the right time.

I think I can really do

something great with this.

And it'll only take a few months

to get started,

so in the meantime, honey,

I can call Donnie to get my

old job back so we don't starve.

Ewww, Donnie?

Are you sure?

He said I could come back

if I wanted to,

the hours are flexible and

the pay's not terrible.

Okay, and that's the plan.

I like you.

Trick or treat!

Mom?

Marilyn, what's the matter?

I'm fine, I...

You know I'm probably happy,

I don't wanna bother you.

Hey, where's Dad?

Oh, him. He's at home.

We had a really big fight

but Don't worry about me

because I'm absolutely fine.

I'm just going to a motel room.

I'll find one.

Maybe you should stay here tonight.

Or come in for some coffee and

we'll call around for vacancies

And somehow the night's... No...

I don't really want to

intrude you, darling.

I just stopped

by to say hello to you.

Just sort of to give you

the thumps up of everything.

You know what I'm saying.

It's no big deal and come on in

and use the phone.

Check hotel for vacancies.

We're not taking no for an answer,

You're staying with us tonight.

That's so sweet.

Alright, Hartanto, we can stay!

Go Sammi.

Go. Out of the car.

Sammi

Oh... Great... Great...

Where is...

Oh, don't worry.

We will gather

You are such a sweet and

little blessing, Hartanto.

It's Hoo Nong Yo, not Hartanto.

That's OK.

Don't worry about it.

Just place them everywhere.

But be careful that.

That's glass one.

Be careful though.

Don't worry. It's OK.

It's fine.

I'll come back with other ones.

This guy is not too smart.

I realize you only brought

the essentials.

I think. That's good.

Yeah, I know.

Honey, what are you supposed to be,

a French vampire?

Check it out, your neighbor's

giving away King Size Snickers.

Hello.

Hi, Clare! My goodness.

It's really happy to see you.

Anyway, I'm feeling

a little cooped up.

Is anyone hungry?

My treat.

When was the last time

you washed your hair?

It looks kind of greasy.

I think it's

your diabetic retinopathy.

To be honest.

Oh.

It's not greasy.

Look, how succulent

everything looks.

OK, sweetie, I'll take that.

Yes, egg salad is for me.
