- Awesome.

That's how I know it's not him."

But they couldn't arrest her,

because he was standing...

right there in front in them.

Do they have any theories of why?

Think how lucky she is.

She gets to kill him again.

Clearly she wants to kill this man.

- It's just the Finnish.

- The Finns.

The Finns or Finnish?

- You guys remember Halley's Comet?

- Yes.

I mean, it was such a big deal.

I remember at my school, we all had

to, like, reenact Halley's Comet.

So, they assigned each of us

something celestial to do.

My sister got to be Halley's Comet.

I was very jealous.

I've never met your sister.

Have you guys met her sister?

There's a picture of her right

over there on the mantel, but...

- She's only a fleeting comet.

- she looks a little ridiculous.

- That's your sister?

- But why did you put it...

It's the door to nowhere.

In feng shui, a useless door,

which this is obviously

a useless door,

you put a picture of someone...

you have unresolved issues with...

and it causes all of

this weird energy flow.

I don't even like being over here.

- It's freaky.

- You shouldn't be over there then.

- Every time you're...

- I'm sort of an empath.

- Sort of an empath.

- And I can feel it. It's like a vortex.

When was the last time we

were all together like this?

I was thinking, right

before Thanksgiving,

most of us were there, but

not everybody could be.

I don't think Laurie... Laura?

- Laurie.

- Laurie.

Sorry. We're gonna tell

all these stories.

We do that when we get together.

So Laurie, what are

you doing these days?

- Well, I'm...

- Keeping yourself busy?

I'm keeping busy.

I'm actually working with some

outreach programs in Silicon Valley.

We work with at-risk youth.

Oh, wow. Didn't you...

No, no, no.

Are you still teaching the yoga?

The Spanish Yoga? The Spoga?

- No. Not me.

- Are you sure that...

Oh, that must've

been another girl...

that Kevin dated that

Amir is hooking up with.

Wow. Let's give him a shovel.

What are you doing?

What do you do for a living?

I act. Shut up, guys.

I didn't remember you were an actor.

- So, you do mainly theater?

- Well, I did.

Since I moved down here to support

my wife and her Skyping career.

Um, but, no, I was in a TV

show for about four years.

- Yeah? What was that?

- It was called Roswell.

Oh, my God. I love Roswell.

When were you on Roswell?

What episodes were you on?

I was on all shows. Produced.

- What do you mean?

- I was a series regular on that show.

Yeah, he was, like, the main guy.

What character did you play?

- Joe.

- Did you have different hair, or something?

I had the same exact hair.

I'm sorry. Maybe it's one of

those things where you know...

the character for so long, then you see

someone in person. It just doesn't compute.

I don't know.

- He's sort of grown into his face.

- You really have.

Check it out again.

I'm sure, you know, like the downward

dog probably gets to your head.

- I didn't do yoga. That wasn't...

- Well, hey, listen.

Thanks for enjoying the show.

I think you are a

really good actor...

and I think you should

continue doing it.

- Thank you very much.

- I think it would be well worth your time.

What are you up to these days?

Last I remember, you were, like,

taking the dance world by storm.

Um, I guess the last

time I saw you...

must've been when I was

creating the dance show.

It was going really,

really well for a while,

but then, right before

the, um... the premiere,

they brought in Svetlana Aserrano...

who is the best dancer

in the world really,

and they just offered

me the understudy.

She should've been the whole thing.

She created it. She should be...

- the prima ballerina of the San Francisco Ballet.

- That's terrible.

You know, you hear these

stories sometimes...

about people being shut out

of things they created...

and I think it's horrible.

I'm sorry.

But I mean it's a good lesson

that I had to learn, because...

You know, because of my

pride, I didn't want...

to take the understudy

and I took too long...

to think about it and then

I lost the understudy job.

And they gave that to

Katherine Meriss and...

And she sucks.

- She sucks.

- No, she's good, guys.

Anyways, the reason that

she's really big now...

is because she ended up going up.

Svetlana pulled out last minute...

and Katherine ended

up doing the show.

- Katherine Meriss?

- Exactly.

As soon as you said that,

I thought, "Katherine Meriss...

that's pretty much the only

person in dance I'd know."

Right. Well...

So, she basically stole

your... your whole thing?

Katherine Meriss has

your life, basically.

- Career.

- You have your life.

It's a shame that it happened.

She doesn't hold a candle to you.

Then, here's to the

life that we do lead.

- Yeah.

- Well said.

- Here's to the comet.

- The comet. And the comet.

Anybody have a happier story?

Kevin, tell a crazy story, first

one that comes in your head.

No. All right.

Um... Sorry.

I was going out with Laurie.

We were drinking way

too much at a bar.

I passed out and I

started dreaming...

this big black bear...

was up on its hind legs

sort of mauling me.

Slowly. Tenderly.

Anyhow, we go to some party...

in Santa Cruz and as we walked in,

this huge dog comes

running straight at me.

Jumps up on its hind legs

and starts pawing me,

exactly like the dream,

and this guy yells,

- "Bear, get down, Bear."

- What?

Wow. You have a gift.

The way you told that

story, I thought...

somebody was going to die.

You know Bear is the

most common dog name.

Oh, that makes it a much

less interesting story.

Thanks for that, Lee.

Most common bear name? Henry.

- Look.

- Oh, my God.

- What?

- This is like your phone.

Oh, my God. That happened

to my phone tonight.

And I was just holding

mine in my hand.

- Exact same thing.

- Shattered?

Yeah. This is what they were

talking about on the news.

Yeah. Yeah.

It must be the comet.

- The chicken tastes like tuna.

- All right.

It must be Miller's Comet.

So, nobody's phone works?

I haven't checked mine,

but I assume it doesn't.

Everyone else's is

in the other room.

- Do you guys have a landline?

- No. We're wireless, baby.

All right. I need to get

ahold of my brother.

- What about, um, your deal...

- The computer.

- Good idea.

- It's in the office.

- Could I?

- Yeah, yeah. Thanks.

- What's wrong with your brother?

- Nothing. He's fine.

He just, um... You know Brian.

He hangs out with all those, you

know, theoretical physicists.

- No Internet.

- No?

- On the computer.

- How is there no Internet?

- You run Skype. You tell us.

- I know.

What are they saying

about the comet?

Nothing... Nothing

to get upset about.

He just said to give him a call,

you know, if there was

anything weird going on.

Like, why? What did

he think it could do?

Why didn't you tell me this?

Because of your feng shui...

- and granola candles, and I didn't want to...
