How do you feel?

Well, I feel she should find

some other way to feel better

besides marijuana.

No, I mean how do you feel

since your husband died?

Oh.

Well, of course I feel sad.

But I don't think I'm

as stressed as Lori,

because I don't have to worry

about my career or money

because Joey, god bless him,

he set me up for life.

So I can do...

I can do anything.

I mean, like, when I go to an

action movie, I get three tickets,

one for me, one for Joe,

one for my mother.

And I don't even have

to think about it.

I don't have to worry about it.

I spend...

A lot of time by myself.

And, well, there are

a lot of hours in the day,

and so sometimes I don't know

what to do with them,

and I call Lori...

But she...

Well, she doesn't...

She doesn't want my advice

or anything.

I mean, I have nothing...

Important to say.

But basically, I feel great.

I love my apartment.

You can't beat this weather.

And who doesn't love the grove?

I mean, it's like living

on main street in Disneyland.

Anyway, call me and let me

know you got in safe.

Oh, and remind me to tell you

what your therapist said.

Very little information about the

message left behind by the serial killer

who is asking to be called

the "red ripper."

It's so good to see you

out of the house...

And on such a nice occasion.

Ah, pretzel bread!

Reminds me of my father...

Well, pretzels.

Mmm. So good.

So, listen, mom,

I have to go to New York for a

few weeks to shoot the pilot.

New York? Why?

Well, 'cause the show is set there,

so it's... it's actually good,

but I'm not gonna be reachable

for a few weeks, like, at all.

Like, somebody else is gonna be

holding my phone for me.

But I was thinking at the end

if you wanted to come

and visit the set

and we could finally think about

getting a headstone for dad,

or, you know, at least figure

out what to do with his ashes.

Yeah, well, we don't have

to talk about it now.

We can wait until, you know,

before you go and then...

I leave tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

That's really soon.

I know.

But maybe you could come over

tonight and help me pack,

and maybe even crash so you could give

me a ride to the airport tomorrow?

That'd be fun.

How about if I go with you?

If I go with you,

I could be like your assistant.

No, no.

I think, if anything,

I'd need you here,

you know, to watch the house

and look after your grand-dogs.

It's my job, mom.

Yeah, yeah. Sure, you're right.

You're right. It's great.

It's a good idea.

It's a good opportunity.

It is, you know.

It's good.

And it's really good timing

for me, you know?

I can get out of town and be busy,

and finally take my mind off things.

Jacob!
