a total a**hole

like your father.

I know that you are courageous

and loyal in sticking by Miranda

despite her deadly

and contagious disease,

even though you know

she was never really

serious about you.

And she would've been far better

off with your brother, Richard,

with whom she has

so much more in common.

He's very good-looking,

isn't he? Hmm?

Abe, I know

that life has been

unfair to you

because it has given you

every possible advantage.

So your feelings of inadequacy

are endless and unrelenting.

Your toy-collecting,

a reflexive textbook pathology

of Western consumerist

capitalism.

But still, I am afraid

I cannot give you any credit.

No credit.

No exchange.

No refund.

But I have a receipt.

Poor thing.

You really don't get it, do you?

Get what?

Everyone has a receipt.

And it never adds up.

It's called...

[muttering]

Mom, dad, he's awake.

[Gasping]

Shh, shh, shh...

- Oh...

- Abe?

You're okay.

You had a little accident,

but you're gonna be just fine.

What... what accident?

You totaled your hummer

leaving the office.

Don't worry.

The insurance is covering it.

You had a very low deductible.

Your father's been so upset.

He's hardly slept a wink.

When did this happen?

Oh, almost two months ago.

You were leaving the office

parking lot, and I think...

apparently, you

didn't look both ways.

Abe, listen.

I don't want you to worry.

I won't give Justin your job.

You can work for me

as long as you like.

Where's Miranda?

I just texted her.

She's on her way.

She wants to know if

anyone wants bagels.

[Jack] Tell her

to bring some nova.

And some cream cheese.

I need to speak with her now.

She's coming.

- Low-fat? Regular?

- Low-fat.

Onion or garlic?

- Miranda...

- She'll be here.

Hey.

Hey.

How are you feeling?

Okay.

How about you?

Okay.

Uh... your treatment?

It worked.

I'm all better.

It's weird.

It's like I was dead

for two months.

We thought you weren't

gonna make it.

We were sure it was over.

The doctors...

but I made it.

How do you feel?

I don't know.

I have no feeling.

I mean, my legs.

My feet...

Toes.

Nothing.

It's like I'm...

And it's funny,

'cause you know what?

I feel like dancing now.

It's weird.

'Cause I had, like,

a lot of dreams.

And you know how people say that

they wish their dreams

could come true?

Well, I don't.

I prefer reality.

I prefer what's here

and what's now.

I prefer being with you.

What's the matter?

Why are you crying?

I know we hardly

know each other.

And I know we have

nothing in common.

And I know I was never really

attracted to you.

And I know how

I wasn't gonna let

any of that get in the way.

But I never knew...

I never knew I would care.

About?

I'm sorry. I have to go.

Wait.

What were you saying

that you cared about?

Care? What?

You were saying that

you never knew you cared.

Yeah.

Well, what were

you referring to?

Nothing. I'm just talking.

Being silly.

Feel better.

- Miranda?

- Yes?

My mother said that

she thinks you're...

Pregnant.

Is it true?

You know your mom.

I know.

That's why I'm asking.

Because if it's true.

If you're carrying my baby,

it's gonna be okay.

Don't worry.

I'm not.

[Medical monitors beeping]

So much could happen

on a night like this

we could make the memory

of our first kiss

we could fall in love

under the milky way

together, toge ...

you know,

the doctor said it's like

one in a billion people

that basically lose their

legs in a car accident,

come out of

a two-month coma,

and then develop hepatitis B.

Marie, could you do me a favor?

Sure, hon. What do you want?

Can you go to Toys R US

and return something for me?

Sure. No problem.

If you have to,

speak to the store manager.

I've got the receipt.

And, Marie?

Yes?

Come closer.

Closer.

Closer.

You don't have to say anything.

I know.

I've been told before.

I'm a really good kisser.

[Medical monitor beeping]

And then you wake up

look at the sky

and you thank love

you can turn to your side

and there'll you find love

telling you,

oh, that you're my love

telling you,

oh, that you're my love

oh, you're my love

you're my love

oh, you're my love

you're my love

[Sobbing]

You know, technically, he

actually died on February 6th.

"Technically" what?

The date's wrong.

It's okay. Leave it.

Your mother doesn't

need to hear.

It's not important. It doesn't matter.

No one cares.

...to finish

the spreadsheets.

[Justin] Uh, sure thing,

Uncle Jackie.

Show me what you got.

Here we go.

It's a list of all

the units on the property.

Has the nail salon paid up?

Uh, no. We're still waiting

for a final payment.

Call Phil again and

tell him to follow up.

Draw up eviction papers.

What about the bagel place?

The attorneys get back to you?

Yes. Uh, they requested that we move the

court date to the end of next month.

And the drycleaners,

are they're gonna

pass the environmental,

or they still working

on the cleanup?

The work is done. They're just

waiting for the inspectors.

Ask Phil what he can

do to speed things up.

I don't want Eastlake

to fall apart.

Oh, of course.

Of course, Uncle Jackie.
