Thank you, Your Honor.
Thank you, Your Honor.
- Frank Evans.
- Alex Vetter.
- This is my colleagues Josh Williams.
- Hey, man, nice meeting you.
Thank you for bringing the problem
to my attention. I'll see what I can do.
- You can stop building your spa.
- Nah.
I'm serious.
I'm sure we can find a great compromise.
Okay, we've got a lot of work to do.
I... I bought it.
I bought it. I did, I did.
Wait, please.
Director's kind of a dick.
You look familiar.
Well, I was... I was on
a television show for a long time.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
That must be it.
You know this is Chekhov, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Well...
I have some... I trained
in the theater and so...
that's how I started
in the theater and stuff.
- Great.
- Yeah.
Great, well... thanks for coming in today.
We're only going to take a look
at the first scene. And...
- You know, whenever you're ready.
- Okay.
This is Mel. She's going
to be reading with you today.
- Okay. Hi, Mel.
- Nice to meet you.
Just a second here.
I bought it.
I did it. I bought it, I...
Wait, wait, ladies and gentlemen,
please don't go. I...
I am a little... dazed. I'm confused, I...
I'm going to stop you right there.
It's great, it's really, really great.
Would you... would you mind
taking a look at another part?
- Sure. Yeah.
- It's okay?
Would you mind taking a look
at the part of Firs? It's the servant.
- The really old one?
- Yeah.
Okay. Sure.
What's up with you?
You seem off.
Oh, I'm sorry, no.
I'm... I'm totally fine, I...
- Everything's okay?
- Everything's good. I have a small...
Just a blip of a thing
happening at home, but it's...
But you're up for this?
- I need you to be up for this.
- I'm...
If you're not, just tell me.
I'll get someone else.
- No, I'm up for this.
- Don't bullshit me.
Alex, Dakota's school, line one.
- Yes.
- Can I just take... just the... okay.
Hello?
I am so, so sorry.
I don't know what happened.
My husband's out of town and I asked
my dad to come and pick him up,
and I can't get a hold of him. I'm...
Please, don't worry. Everything's fine.
Dakota's fine, that's what's important.
And it gives us the opportunity
to check in with each other
- since we missed you at parents' night.
- Right, well, I had to work, so...
I talked to him about your encouraging Dakota
to reach out to some
of the other students?
Right.
Yeah, he did mention it
and we're working on it.
Oh, that's great.
- Such a sweet boy.
- Well... yeah, so I should get him home.
- But thank you so much.
- Okay. Bye.
- Bye.
- Don't be a stranger.
Alright.
- What happened?
- What do you mean?
You were supposed to pick up Dakota
after school. You don't remember?
- You don't remember that?
- Oh, sh*t.
What, you just forgot?
Is that what happened? You just forgot?
W... you should've put it in my phone.
- I shouldn't have done anything.
- I need it in the phone.
I asked you to pick him up,
and that's all I should've had to do,
and you're smoking and you're not thinking
and you're not remembering a word I say.
George always puts it
in the phone so I don't forget.
- This is exhausting.
- I'm sorry, kid.
I'm so... Grandpa wouldn't have left you
hanging like that. It wasn't in my phone.
Party's here.
- Oh, my God.
- See?
- Oh, my God... Lily.
- I was bringing in your sister.
I was trying to do something good.
No, Dad, it was so good, so good.
But, if you say you're going to pick up
Dakota, you have to pick up Dakota.
I'm so sorry, boo.
Daddy told me what happened.
Men are such d*cks. All of them.
- So...
- No, Dakota, what happened to him?
You're f***ing gi-normous.
You look like a grown man, come here.
Give me a hug, oh, my God,
what the f*** happened to him?
- Two years happened.
- You already had your first kiss I bet?
Okay, he's only ten, so let's just...
- Oh, f***, I'm so...
- The language.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
Good to see you.
Oh, it's good to see you.
She looks good?
I think your butt got a little bigger.
How can you say that to me?
You're my daughter,
I can say whatever I want.
- No.
- Yeah.
- No.
- Yeah.
So Dad says you're working
on becoming a masseuse.
Oh, no, not anymore.
But I had this client. I think he thought
I was like a different kind of masseuse.
- Sh*t. Really?
- Yeah.
But you know what?
My line is totally coming together.
I have an investor all lined up
and they're just waiting on me,
so it's going to be so great to be here,
'cause I can focus on my designs
and draw every day and...
Speaking of which, did you ever wear
that dress I sent you for Christmas?
- Yeah.
- Did you look so money?
I looked so money.
- Alex, this is really f***ing weird.
- What?
That you sleep in their bedroom.
It's not that weird, I just...
it made the most sense.
So, what's happening with Dakota?
What do you mean?
I mean, have you told him
that his dad is a f***ing a**hole?
I'm not going to make Dakota upset
when we're just going to get back together.
You know what? You keep sh*t from kids...
He's ten. They get all f***ed up.
Thanks, Lily, but I can handle
my own ten year-old.
I know that. I wasn't saying
you weren't a good mom.
No, I know you weren't,
I know you weren't.
I am behind at work, so, I'm going to...
get to bed.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Where are you going to sleep?
- Right here.
It's going to be like old times.
Yeah.
Hey, Lee.
Yeah.
Okay.
Right.
Well, that's... perfect.
That's great.
Yeah, okay.
- I got the part.
- You got... you got...
- In the... in the play.
- You got Firs?
Yeah.
That's the greatest p... I'm...
Firs is the greatest part there is.
George? You said that you were going
to be here today,
so if you're not coming, can you just let me
know either way? Alright? Okay, thanks.
- Do you need help with those?
- What, you know how to do this?
No, but I'll figure it out.
Should you be drinking that?
It's just beer. It's like water.
Hey, Dad.
Hope you're having a good trip.
Miss you.
When you get back,
I have a surprise for you.
Not going to tell you
what it is right now.
You have to see it.
Alright? Call me back.
Hey, Friday.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, this is George, leave a message.
What the hell is going on, George?
You're not even going to text me back?
I can't believe you're doing this to us.
Dakota waited for you all day, George.
And everybody was out there asking me
where you were. What am I supposed to say?
- Just f***ing call me back.
- Ignition.
And we have liftoff
of the Voyager 1 spacecraft,
on its deep space expedition.
Launched in September, 1977.
Voyager 1 was sent by NASA
to study the outer solar system.
New York is a crazy place.
I used to take the subway all the time,
but then last month
I was waiting for the train,
and I'm sitting next to this
And I thought 'oh,
what a cute little old man.'
