Fred Won't Move Out Page #2

---

But I guess it was also

a lie at the same time.

So what?

That's show business.

Bob, sometimes you remind

me of Yogi Berra, you know.

Someone once asked him

what time it was and he said,

you mean now?

You know, I saw your

old tennis playing buddy

Steven the other day.

Still plays very well.

F*** him.

Dad, don't you think

it would be better

if you got some kind

of regular exercise?

I mean, you know,

therapeutic exercise?

All that stuff would be...

would be so easy.

Oh, is it time

for our vodka?

Vodka!

Not yet.

Put her on the couch.

Okay.

Okay, Susan.

She can stand.

Hold me.

Okay.

Stand Susan.

Susan, stand.

Okay.

Let her walk.

Okay.

- One step.

- She can walk.

No Fred, she cannot.

I got her.

I got her.

- Put her on the couch.

- Okay.

I got you mom.

Slow.

Okay, okay, great.

You look good mom.

Oh yes.

Yeah.

I'm alive.

Well, that's...

that's good!

Listen, umm,

do you remember when you

went to Goucher College,

remember how you used to

live in a dorm there?

Well, that's what it's

going to be like again.

You're going to be

living in a situation

very much

like a dorm.

I mean, back

in those days

when you guys

got married,

you didn't get a

chance to finish,

but now you're going

to have an opportunity

to really finish things.

It's going to be great.

Sounds good!

It is.

It really is good.

I mean, you'll

be close to me.

You'll be

close to Carol.

It's going to

be really good.

You'll see.

How is Aris?

Oh, Aris is

doing good!

Both boys are great.

Jess had some

sort of a bug,

but she's more

or less over it.

Okay.

Come on,

drink.

Yes.

I want to thank you.

Drink, drink, drink.

UP, UP, up you go.

Drink.

Come on.

A little bit of

juice, little bit.

Drink, drink.

Swallow.

My dear, swallow.

Hey, what do you think

about Susan living near us?

I like that.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

But Fred,

he's going to...

he's going to stay

where he is for now.

Why isn't he going

to move with Susan?

Well, I just think he

wants to stay out here

I mean, he's lived here a

really long time and I...

I just don't think

he's ready to leave yet.

You know, eventually he's

going to miss Susan a lot

so he'll probably

move down to the city

and he can even live in

the same building as her.

That's pretty

cool, right?

Yeah, yeah, I think it's

going to work out really well.

Dad, this is the best

possible situation.

Mom is going to be able

to get the care she needs.

You can be with her

two floors below.

You can go to the office

every single day if you want.

And listen, if you're

not happy, you can leave.

I'm not going to make you stay

there if you don't like it.

I'm too old.

Could you get me

another vodka please?

Bottled or tap?

Tap, it's all we got.

Hi sweetie!

The Captain is here

with her mom and Robert.

Oh, she's fine.

Oh, yes, she's fine.

Hold on.

I'll give her to you.

Here, take the phone.

Hold the phone, Susan.

Susan, hold the phone.

Hold the phone!

- Fred!

- Calm down, dad!

Give me that!

Sit down.

I said sit down.

Don't treat

someone that way.

Hold on.

Hide afl

Oh, I don't... umm,

me too.

You put it right

on the table.

Right there?

Oh, my shoes

are untied.

- Hello!

- Hi!

Are there anymore

bags in the car?

Oh yeah, just one.

You know what,

let me get it though,

because

I have no idea

how this kitchen is

organized anymore, so.

Okay.

I'll be right back.

Hey Susan!

Do you remember this?

That's okay.

Carol, did you

get cream cheese?

- Yes

- I love you

You want it across the board

on toasted sesame, Fred?

Sure!

How about you, Susan?

Whoop dee do!

Two across

the board

on toasted sesame

for the youngsters;

I'm going to

make a salad.

I want pie la Mode.

Aha, not until

after you finish lunch.

Okay.

So what are you guys

doing for the summer?

Actually, so

for me and Jess

have made zero

plans for the summer.

How about you

and Patrick?

What can I do?

If you don't mind,

the ones that grandpa

likes, the big ones.

You know, we are

probably going to end up

just staying

in the city.

Well, that can

be really nice.

I mean, the summertime

is really quiet

and you really

get to know people.

It's different.

Well, you make it

sound so appealing.

Oh, I'm

sincere about it,

it can be very nice.

By the way, how late are

you planning to stay?

I mean, I can

always take a train

I'm sure we're all going to

leave around the same time;

definitely before

dinner though.

Of being able to avoid

Maestro if possible,

but if I can't,

I guess I can't.

Victoria, would you mind

getting me some cream cheese

from the fridge?

Okay.

Ouch!

Jesus, that's hot.

That oil tank

is the bomb, man.

Yeah, you have to finish

help making lunch though.

I just want to see it,

then I'll come help.

All right! Uh, you're going

to help clean up afterwards?

Yeah.

But be careful there's a

lot of stuff down there.

Okay.

Umm, listen,

I think maybe we

ought to consider

packing up a lot

of mom's stuff today

so that Tuesday is not a big

ordeal, you know what I mean?

It's not going

to be a big ordeal.

I'm just going to take

the necessary things.

Really, I'd rather

just wait till Tuesday.

All right!

Hey, how did

it go with Fred?

Fantastic!

Victoria, do we have

a peeler anywhere?

Yeah.

Hold on, I'll get it.

All right! Thank you!

How do you like

the salad, Fred?

Very good!

- It's great!

- Thank you!

Pick it up.

Pick it up. Pick it up.

Hey, you can

finish your lunch

you can have

that pie la Mode.

- Great!

- Uh-huh.

When do we hear about the

schools for the Captain?

She's going to

Horace Riverston next year.

She got a scholarship.

- That's great!

- Congratulations!

- Wow, fantastic!

- Thanks!

That's so wonderful!

I'm so proud of her.

I'm proud!

Oh, you know,

well, your dad and I

are talking

about that one.

My life depends on it.

Susan, you're going to be

seeing a lot more of us

You're going to get to

see us all the time.

Will live in the same building

as you, just two floors below.

- It's going to be wonderful!

- I'm not going.

Oh! Dad, you've got

to at least try.

I'm not going

without Ginger.

Where's Ginger?

Did you see Ginger?

I'm not going anyplace

they don't allow p*ssy.

Grant me strength, idiot!

Oh, I think I

know who's here.

Maestro's here!

Okay.

Listen, I promise, I promise,

I'm going to be nice.

Okay, if you say so.

- How are you?

- Maestro's here. -I'm okay.

- Hey Bob!

- Hi Carol!

- How are you doing?

- How are you?

It's good to see you.

Nice to see you!

Did you guys have lunch yet?

Yeah. I've got

a special treat

I'm making, you might

want to sit down.

You know, Susan is resting

in the other room today

so can you come and do

the music session there?

We'll just pull my keyboard

into the room and...

Move it in.

- Lila, you'll help me, right?

- Yeah.

Okay.

Do you mind going to the

fridge and get me the...

like the nova, the cream
