No it's good, it's...

I don't know.

I have to admit there's a small

part of me as I was sitting...

in the old house

and thinking about

fixing it up.

And I'm starting

to think like...

I don't know maybe...

I could stay here.

It looks

interesting to me.

What would you

do here though?

It's just a thought,

I don't...

-I mean, I've no plan.

-I know, I like...

Don't you want...

Why you grilling me

right now?

I'm not trying

to grill you, I just...

I guess I'm a little

worried about you?

Why are you worried

about me?

I don't know, you don't...

you seem...

I don't know a little,

lost or...

I haven't got it all,

figured out.

But... you know...

Isn't there anything

you want to do?

Amanda, I don't f***ing

know what I'm doing, okay?

I had lost my job, okay?

I lost my job.

I had a falling out

with my uncle

who was stealing clients

from me and I beat

the f*** out of him, okay?

I beat the living sh*t

out of him.

It was a really scary

moment and I had a crack

and I feel awful

about it and I'm...

I'm sorry,

I didn't... I...

Oh!

So I'm living in Tucson

and I don't want to stay

there anymore

but I don't really

know where else to go.

And it's...

I'm having a...

just having a hard time, so.

I'm sorry, yeah.

I'm not...

[laughs embarrassingly]

I'm gonna start

crying again.

-Yeah.

-This is a thing with me,

all right?

I really think

it's your fault, honestly.

Why is it my fault?

You use to give me

the best head rubs.

And they use to really

take the edge off.

Quit hiding the jelly beans

Hand 'em up.

Come on.

Give me some

jelly beans, okay?

That's why I'm so sad

'cause you won't [chuckles]

give me any jelly beans.

[Jim sighs deeply]

It's also little hard 'cause

you're really impressive.

Your life is really impressive.

-Yeah...

-So there's a part

of me that's...

just saying.

I was getting on the plane

and there was this family

and this little boy,

he was so mad

and just irate

and of course he has no way

of expressing any of that

except sort of just like...

scream and stomp

his feet and...

I mean, he was screaming

so loud that tongue

was curing to the back

of his mouth and tears

were just like...

you know, springing out

of his face he was...

leaking you know.

And I just remember

looking at him and being

very jealous.

You know,

that's my soul-mate.

[laughing]

Me and that four year old.

That's my soul-mate.

I don't know some point

we just learn it's better

not to do that and...

I don't know

at what point...

Here.

You ate a lot of them.

I did eat a lot.

You left me all the pink

and purple ones

[chuckles]

Yeah, they are

your favorites.

[phone buzzing]

What's up?

Miss Elissa wants to know

where's her ice-cream is at?

Of course.

Oh God!

Does she like

ice-cream soup.

[chuckles]

I'm just telling her

I ran into some one.

Don't take it person... sorry

yes. Okay fine I'll tell her

it's you just...

-She'll ask me who.

-She's gonna ask...

-there is is.

-Jim.

Lisa, Lisa the interrogator.

Holy fuckity f***!

Jim, Jim?

She's Lisa Lising you.

[laughs]

Yeah Jim Jim,

Yes.

She wants to know

how you look.

[phone buzzes]

She wants to know, when I'm

coming back.

I kinda want

to see your house.

You want

to see the house?

[Jim sighs deeply]

It's been really great

catching up with you.

But if the reason you spending

time with me is because...

you feel sorry for me.

You don't have to do it,

it's okay. Okay?

[mellow music playing]

[lock clicking]

Sorry, just the boxes.

Sorry.

[Amanda] It's okay.

Here we go.

Yeah, still got

a lot of...

her stuff to pack up.

Yeah

That's a good one

in particular.

Yeah, I'll say.

Yeah, pretty much

how she left it so...

I've been thinking about...

dry walling where

the paneling is

maybe take out

that wall,

so that it opens

into the kitchen.

I don't know there's also

something kind of...

cozy about the way it is.

Thinking about it.

Anyway, make yourself at home.

I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

Will see you

in a sec.

[door shuts]

[piano music playing]

[chuckles]

Oh, my god.

This is a very serious

collection of romance novels.

This could not

have been here...

when we were

spending all that time

I think there were some

I think she really

started collecting

-when I left

and I wasn't here to...

-Yeah...

-We would have

a field day with it.

-Yeah.

Well, I mean

let's face it,

in your hay-day

you were pretty...

In my hay-day?

you were pretty romantic.

I'm remembering...

when you read Wuthering Heights

and you made me read it

and you sent me that...

I think it was four

legal page...

-Jim, that's extreme...

-letters about...

You called me Heathcliff

and you called

your self Catherine.

-I am you

and you are me.

-Please stop it!

Yes so, by the way

Completely humiliating.

don't pretend you're

all above this.

There's a very

big difference.

I would like to point out

between this

lovely array of books and

the great work of art

and literature that

is Wuthering Heights.

I mean they cannot

be compared.

Here's something for you.

"Right away.

she knew that her heart

and soul belonged

to Justin."

What Justin?

There's no sexier

name than Justin.

"Oh, Justin!

Do it to me Justin."

-Oh, come on.

-Sorry.

No, there's more.

"But it wasn't until tonight

that she realized

Justin also owned

her body."

I'm sorry there's no

comparison between this

and Wuthering Heights.

-It really, first of all...

-It's really

sacrilegious thing...

I don't want to think

about my mother reading it.

You know what?

Neither do I, I have to say.

I've been staring

at these books

I'm trying to figure out

how to get rid of them

Why?

Well, I don't know,

it's weird like

I had this weird...

I had a very strange mortality

moment when I looked

at them and I was like this

eight hundred books here,

and even if I...

for some reason wanted

to read all of these books

I wouldn't be able

to finish all of these

books before I died.

That's a weird thing,

you know the math of that.

Pretty morbid thought.

No just...

not to be morbid

but just a thing.

Well...

you know it's all

relative, I think.

I mean, my husband

you know...

maybe he would make

it through this, section.

If you were lucky.

-I don't know.

-Yeah.

Can I... do you mind

if I go out side? I have

to make a phone call.

Yeah, yeah of course.

You know the way.

Yes I do.

[door slams]

[foot steps departing]

[water splashing]

[Amanda] I know, I'm sorry.

I meant to call you, yeah.

The minute I got there she sent

me right out to get some food.

Oh, yeah she

seems really...

she seems really good.

Yeah, she's just hungry.

[laughing]

I think we're just

gonna stay in.

Just you know...

watch a movie or...

you know and eat.

[chuckles]

Yeah.

Wait, can you just say

that again I didn't hear you.

Yeah.

This is amazing.

This is amazing,

it's like a time capsule.

It's all here.
