"Screw the judges.

Screw the lawyers.

They don't know us."

I just came to talk.

The way we used to.

Remember?

[DOORBELL BUZZING]

Don't answer it.

JOHN:

Mary.

I forgot my jacket.

I didn't mean to intrude.

Excuse my manners.

John Guidi.

Hey, Steven. Nice to meet you.

Um, excuse me.

You wanna tell your friend

you're busy?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Are you busy?

Not really.

Not really.

I'll be in touch.

You need to get

the air conditioning fixed.

Tell that to my building manager.

I could take a look at it

some time if you want.

Thanks.

You should call the police.

You do have a restraining

order on the guy.

It wouldn't make a difference.

Only makes him mad.

Mary, listen, I can--

I can handle it.

Thanks.

I'll check that lock.

That should do it.

Gonna be okay?

I'll be fine.

All right.

In case you need anything.

Thanks. Again.

[PHONE RINGING]

I told you to stop calling me.

WOMAN:

What happened?

Are you okay?

Hi, Mom.

No, it's not Steven. It's just a crank.

No trouble?

No, she's sweet, a really nice girl.

She's a little bit down today.

Hey.

Your buddy John?

Great job fixing my lawn mower.

JOHN:

It's just a couple wires.

I'll tell you, he handled that

engine like a nervous lover.

It was really just--

A feather touch.

Hey, can I offer

you guys a soda?

Um, I gotta go.

So soon?

It was--

I really just came by

you were okay.

Everything's fine.

Bye.
