but he's trying to turn his life around,

and digging up the past

is not gonna help him.

Wait a second.

I thought you wanted me to...

Not like that.

To keep going over and over it, Tommy?

I mean, come on.

If you have doubts about your decision,

you need to leave that sh*t back there.

Come on, Angela. You know

that's not what's happening here.

So, what did he tell you?

Angela, what did he say?

Look, all I know is

if you're not helping,

you're hurting.

Thanks for the drink.

Yes, I know

Trying to move...

Ah, don't say it.

Don't... don't say that word.

What word?

"Work."

Look, I know, but I really...

What did I just say?

No, I got it.

It's fine.

So, what's with all the new bags?

Did you listen to my message?

Yeah.

All of it?

Colin Waters.

The Colin Waters Gallery.

No, no, I know.

Colin Waters. That's great.

Do you know who Colin Waters is?

Are you serious?

Yeah, of course I know

who Colin Waters is.

Come on.

There is no Colin Waters.

It's just a bunch of guys who

call themselves Colin Waters,

but they have a gallery in Bushwick,

and they want to give me a show.

That's great.

And they have a studio

above the gallery where I can work.

In Brooklyn?

Yeah.

Do you know how hard it is

for a figurative painter

to get a solo show these days?

No, I... I know.

That's great.

That's great news, honey.

Congrats, really.

Oh, Jesus.

They got here before me.

I need to bring some work

and other things down there.

You should have listened to the message.

Hey.

What's up, Lauren?

This is Tom, my husband Tom.

Ah. Hey, man.

What's happening?

The chair?

Well, I need a place to sit, right?

It's just...

I mean, it's just

a kitchenette right now.

It's an empty space.

It feels like you're moving out.

Well, only if you don't come with me.

Tom.

The city, a room,

kind of like when we first met.

We didn't leave your

apartment for a month.

The show's not until June.

We have over a month.

You're shaking your head.

Why are you shaking your head?

Am I shaking my head?

Yeah.

I think this book is getting to you,

all those stories about kids.

You know what?

You're right.

This is a really good

opportunity for you.

I'm so tired.

Put me to bed, will you?

Mm-hmm.

Oh! I need to stop at the bakery.

I want to get something

for the guys at the gallery,

you know, those muffins that we love.

Sure.

Who was that?

Ian. Isn't that crazy?

What did he want?

I don't know.

I couldn't tell you.

I was too distracted by his charm.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Whoa, what is going on with you?

What's going on with me?

What's going on with you?

You think you can hang out with

someone your own age for once?
