father issues another time.

And you must be...

I'm Linda.

Linda.

Hi. Oh.

You smell like walnuts and suede.

Walnuts and suede.

Welcome to Elysium. Come on,

I'll show you around.

That's a God's eye. I made

it myself, last Kwanzaa.

I love what you've got going here.

Honest, I feel like I can breathe

for the first time in I

don't know how long.

It's incredible!

How long has the house been here?

I bought this house in 1971

with nine of my friends.

Jerry Beaver, Stephanie Davis, Ronny

Shames, Danielle Meltser,

Janie Brody, Billy Marcus,

Glen Stover, Tony Piloski,

and Janice Woo.

Meet Carvin. He's kind of the

lion around these parts.

So, have you lived here

this entire time?

Yeah, ever since I bought

the place in 1971.

Right. With nine of my friends.

Jerry Beaver, Stephanie Davis, Ronny

Shames, Danielle Meltser...

Those are the names you just said.

Yeah. Billy Marcus, Glen

Stover, Tony Piloski...

Those are all people you've

already named.

So, you don't have

to say them again.

Any of those people

still live here?

No, no. They're mostly dead.

Pretty much dead.

I'm going to go to bed.

Good night.

Dead but not forgotten.

I mean, who knows how many days

any of us have left on this Earth?

Right.

That's why I choose to fill my

life with nature and laughter

and friendship,

love.

This is some commune.

"Commune"?

Boo, hiss. We prefer the term

"intentional community. "

When you hear the word "commune,"

you think of a bunch of hippies

sitting around, smoking

pot and playing guitar.

Hey!

I'm Eva! Hi!

I hear you guys are from New York.

Fellow New Yorker.

Oh!

Yeah.

What do you know?

We're from the West Village. Yeah.

Waverly and Christopher.

The best neighborhood!

I know!

I know New York is a great city

but I do not miss that

lifestyle at all.

It was just stress and BlackBerrys

and sleeping pills.

I used to drink a triple latte

every morning just to wake up.

I see your point,

but I kind of value

the sleeping pill

and the BlackBerry and the latte.

You know, you can really get

trapped in that web of

beepers and Zenith televisions

and Walkmans and Discmans,

floppy disks and zip drives.

Laserdiscs, answering machines

and Nintendo Power Glove.

Wow, you know so much

about technology.

All right, the pond

behind the house

is just begging to be dipped in.

Skinny style.

Let's do it. Let's do it.

Yeah, let's...

You're unbelievable.

Skinny style!

George! George! Jump in, George!

Atta boy, baby!

I cannot believe...

I'm naked! I'm naked!

I'm sorry. My bad.

A lot of magical things

have happened

since you walked through

those doors.

Amen. My menstrual cycle

started back up again.
