That's what happened

for me and Charlie.

We started out that way

and that was the most meaningful

relationship of my entire life.

And you know what?

I didn't even appreciate what I had

until Charlie passed.

It wasn't until after.

And I... I...

I just don't want you to f*** it up.

I don't want you to f*** it up.

All right.

- Just appreciate.

- Mm-hmm.

Okay?

- All right, cheers.

- Gratitude.

- Gratitude and appreciate.

- I adore you.

What time's your first victim?

- Oh, 10 minutes ago.

- Okay.

Here, take these, take these.

I mixed these for you.

This is my special blend,

very proud of that.

- Love it.

- I'll bring the tonic down later, okay?

Thank you.

You're a rock star.

Oh, and I will put

your check in the box.

Oh, yeah.

Two months.

I know, two months.

I'm sorry.

- Can I help you?

- Um, yeah. Jenny sent me.

She said I could get

a free cleaning.

Oh. Uh, okay.

- Um, Jenny. -

- Oh, Henry.

- Hey.

- You came.

Yeah, it's okay.

Come back.

Okay.

- Okay, you ready?

- Yeah.

All right. Open up.

Wait, what... what are you doing?

- Oh, hey, Dad.

- Hi.

This is Henry.

He... we know each other

from Cafe Fiore.

- Hello.

- Hello.

You know each other how?

Oh, I work there.

He makes my coffee

every morning.

Oh.

Yeah, I just figured

that the chair was empty,

so I'd just give him a quick polish.

What do you mean?

Well, I didn't want

to bother you, you know.

He's my friend.

I was just doing him a favor.

He hasn't had a cleaning in a while.

That's not right.

What do you mean?

You don't have the training.

Yeah, but I've seen you do it,

like, a thousand times.

Well, I think it'd be better

if you stayed on your side.

Don't you?

So, when was the last time

you saw a dentist?

- About five years ago.

- Oh, five... well, you're due.

G3.

The mirror.

Okay, let's open up

and take a look.

All right, what have we got

going on here?

Uh-huh.

I'm gonna start you facedown

under the top sheet

and you can hang

your things here.

- I'll see you in a second.

- All right, thanks.

All right, thank you.

- Does it feel warm enough in here?

- Uh-huh, it's nice.

Good.

I'll start with light pressure

at first, okay?

You tell me if you want me

to adjust it.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

How's it going?

Okay.

How's your day?

Shitty.

Well, why don't you come over here

and I'll give you a back rub?

Aw.

That sounds nice.

It's tempting, but...

I have so much packing to do.

Oh, okay.

Um, I'll see you tomorrow, then?

Yeah.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.

I'm just, uh...

I don't know.

I'm just in a funky mood

or something.

I'll call you in the morning, okay?

Call me when you get up.

I will.

I love you.
