and you find me

some goddamn shrimp.

Does that sound like a plan?

Thank you.

Whoever heard of a

reception without shrimp?

Henry?

Hey, Henry.

I'm Dr. Melvin.

Your mother-in-law

Julia invited me.

I just want to express

my deepest condolences.

Some urn you got there.

Can't say I've ever

seen one like it.

I designed it.

Please forgive

the crudeness of the sketch.

I didn't have time

to digitally render it.

Well, thank you so much.

Excuse me.

I didn't see no Boudin,

no croissant.

Mm, that's true.

Yeah. Uh...

Mr. Herschel.

Hey. Um...

Thank you for coming.

Um, I...I know

Pascal and me

only been working for

you for, like, a month,

and it just felt

like anything we say

wouldn't sound good anyhow,

so we got you this.

This...

Is this cannabis?

No, man, it's pot.

I don't smoke myself,

but I get it

on account of my pop

You okay, mister?

Yeah.

I mean...

No.

No.

I-I'm sorry.

You just...

You reminded me

of someone. That's all.

It's cool.

You put your finger

over the hole,

inhale, then uncover.

Pretty easy.

Oh.

Thank you.

Oh, and, mister,

sneakers are the sh*t.

Let's go.

Uhh!

All right.

Pick a film, any old film.

Any one I want?

Any one you want.

Which one sparks your desire?

Well, I want the top one.

This one?

I want the top one.

You know which one you want.

Wait a minute.

What is this?

This is Kung fu Tuesday.

Heh. Is that a thing?

It is now.

I don't have a say

when you're way out there

and there ain't another soul

for weeks around,

to know we're alive,

that we matter.
