Oh, hey

Do you like movies?

I love them

Oh my god

You should tell her your idea,

Myron.

Lt. Tom Dawson gets infected by

Agent Orange-infected malaria

Oh, come on.

Oh my god.

Clare, I'm so sorry.

That does Bad!

Hello?

Is your mother there?

That I'm warning you,

you might be kicked

anger Never mind,

I hear my answer

shitting on your floor.

OK. What's going on?

She said you got in a fight,

but every time I asked for

the answers.

She ignores me.

How should I know?

We're handing out

candy one minute

and the next she's yelling at me

in that ridiculous pumpkin suit.

What did you do?

Just put her on the phone.

Mom

No, I am not getting him

on the phone.

She doesn't want to talk.

That's a first.

Who is it, Gene?

Is it her?

No, it's your unemployed

grandson.

What's that have to do

with anything?

I'm just stating the facts.

I guess not everyone's

lucky enough

to work at the post office

their whole lives.

It's not luck when you earn it.

Look, whatever.

She's staying here tonight.

You guys can talk tomorrow.

Don't bet on it!

She just fell, didn't she?

Yep.

I hope I'm not

putting you out, Myron?

No. I'll be fine on the couch.

Spit it put, Sammy Higgins.

Spit it out and we'll see.

So all these guys

have the same name?

They're part of

my home dog rescue.

I have average about forty a year,

and that's why I call

everyone Sammy Higgins.

It's easy to remember

and it helps me

keep a detached professionalism

when they get adopted.

Right on.

Well, I hope you feel better.

I'll see you in the morning.

I guess.

Wonderful.

Good luck at that

writing seminar tomorrow!

Thanks!

OK:

Bye. Myron

Myrilan, Is this yours?

It was just laying on

the living room floor.

Thank you so much.

It must have fallen down of my bag.

What the hell is that thing?

It's just a lighter, Relax.

Do you know what I do?

I used it to scare people like you

if you sneak up on me.

Wouldn't it be safer

just carrying some mace?

I tried that once,

but I ended upmistaking it

for my Binaca.

Come here.

No, I'm going to sleep.

You're going to sleep?

Oh, I'll see you tomorrow morning.

Please tell me

if everything you want.

Call me if you want this turkey.

Gosh, you know what's funny?

Yes. I do.

What's funny is my head's

still throbbing,

but the fall snapped

my shoulder back into place.

I got to to remember to

tell my Pain Pals

about that right now.

Yeah, Mom,

maybe you should go to bed

because it's getting late.

And it's been a long day.

You want to play Scrabble?

I brought my dictionary.

Oh, no.

But maybe tomorrow.

Okay,

OK. Good night.

Noah, hug me as hard as you can

and show me how much you love me.
