Hello I Must Be Going

Which boxes?

Those are-

Those are my photos, my negatives.

Okay, well, that's because it

used to be my closet, David, so-

What do you need the closet space

for anyway? Is she moving in there?

Hello?

Amy, are you up?

It's almost noon.

So I ordered these big Wanguni lips-

the sculptor-

three months ago for the new room.

It's a glass sculpture by Bob Wanguni.

These giant lips-

He's known for his lips, Wanguni.

So today I get a call- it's gonna take

another 10 weeks for them to get here.

Ah.

So we're having a dinner...

for a possible client and his wife.

Okay.

They're staying here for the summer,

with their son.

- Mmm.

- And, um...

I'm not saying you-you can't come.

- What are you not saying?

- Well, I'm not not saying anything.

I'm saying, of course, you can come.

You're living here.

- I'm staying here.

- Well, at some point...

I don't know what the difference is, hmm?

Look, honey, I need you to...

shape up a little.

- What?

- I need you to get something nice to wear.

Oh, Mom, I'm-

Look, I have offered

to take you shopping many times.

I cannot have you walking around at

this dinner party in the same shabby T-shirt.

Come on.

I need you to make an effort.

I just don't really feel like

going shopping right now.

Do you think that Daddy

feels like wining and dining...

some New York lawyer at his age?

I'm just kind of having

a hard time at the moment, Mom.

I know.

Look, I-l talked to Phyllis Nagel.

You know jennifer.

Jennifer's really having a hard time too.

Her new, uh- second novel...

is being published by some dinky press.

She's very distraught.

So she's taking something for it.

Some...

antidepressant or something.

Just to help her with the difficult transition.

Amy, you haven't left

the house in three months.

It's so good to see you

out of the house, Amy.

Caley is gonna be so excited.

She insisted that you come.

- Hmm.

- Did she?

Oh, Aims, I-l ran into, um...

Monica Cohen,jessica's mom.

She told me that Jessica

is taking a yoga teacher training.

I thought that might be something

you could do.

- Huh?

- I don't even take yoga, Mom.

Well, you could try.

You know, uh, Noah and Missy...

are gonna want you to babysit for them.

- Pull over.

- What?

- Oh, God.

- Oh, God.

- Hi.

- Hey. Get a bucket.

- Huh?

- Some water, ammonia, some rags.

Oh, God. It's awful.

Where's Amy?

It's totally genetic.

Noah always gets carsick when I drive.

Hear about this big client

we're trying to get, Amy?

I told her she has to get something

to wear for the dinner.

She knows, Mom. She's done

a thousand of these things for David.

- Noah.

- What? What, I can't even say his name?

Hi.

- Oh, there she is!

- Hi.

Ooh, I'm gonna get you.

I'm gonna get you, get you, get you.

- Don't get me, Granny!

- I'm gonna get you!

Amy, seriously.

You gotta snap out of this thing for the party.

Look, if the office gets this client,

Dad gets to retire.

He's gotta retire, Amy.

I am suffocating.

Just get something nice to wear, okay?

Something to wear.

- Hey, Amy.

- Hey, Gary.

Your mom said to tell you

that she took the Infinity to work out.

F***.

- Can I help you?

- Oh. Yeah.

I just need a new T-shirt.

We've got some new

super soft Pima cottons in today.

Okay. Thanks.

Sh*t.

Oh.

- Can you just take the shirt off?

- Sure. I'm-

Yeah. Okay. Okay. I'm sorry.

I mean-

I'm not stealing it.

Hey, Karen.

It's Amy Minsky.

Oh. We, um, went to

West Farms together.

I took the yearbook pictures of

the soccer team when you were cocaptain.

Oh, yeah.

Did you have glasses then?

Yeah.

And were you-

Bigger.

- That was you?

- Yeah.

Oh, I can't believe it.

- Look at me.

- Oh, wow.

Can you believe it?

And I already have two kids.

- I'm like, Scotty, get off."

- Mmm.

- Do you have kids?

- No, I don't. No.

Wow. It changes everything.

Mmm.

So, are you married?

Um- Well, I got divorced

a few months ago.

That's so sad. Who was he?

He-l mean, he's not dead.

- Oh.

-just, like-

- We're still friends and-

- That's awesome.

If only it were true.

Hey, a bunch of us still go out to Viva's

on Thursday night and get drunk.

You should come.

Girls' night.

Amy!

Honey, are you- Oh.

Come on. How can it just be stress?

What does she do all day long?

I-I-I don't see where this is going, Stan.

She made a big mistake,

not taking alimony from David.

No, no, no. She felt humiliated.

She didn't want to take from him,

and I can take care of her.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

What if we can't stay in this house?

Are we all gonna move in

somewhere together?

- Well, she doesn't need him.

- Well, she sure needs something.

She left all of her stuff there

like a crazy person.

I don't-l don't know where this comes-

She's uneducated, unmotivated-

She's not uneducated.

Well, that liberal arts degree

with that phony master's-

Where's that going to get her?

Yeah?

You know she doesn't mean it.

I just wish I didn't agree with her.

Oh, come on.

You just had some bad luck.

You know I'm not good

at talking about things.

You know-

What can you do?

That's all I know how to say.

But it's kind of true too.

Thanks, Dad.

It's his loss.

Eh.just, you know, stick to the-

- What can you do?"

- Yeah.

Remember when we used to...

stay up late and watch all those

Mam Brothers movies together?

Huh? When you were little?

And you could never get up

for school the next day.

Your mom would get so mad at me.

Oh, my God.

What- What are the, um, clients?

- What's the company you're trying to get?

- Oh.

Yeah. Th-That's, um- That's a big

online thing that's about to go public.

You know, if we get this client...

we could make back some of the money

we lost in the market.

I mean, we could keep the house and-

Well, I could actually retire.

Like we planned.

Your mother wants to take this trip

around the world this fail.

Gallivanting the Globe" it's called.

Oh, uh, the trip has a name?

All the best ones do.

Apparently.

Look...

would you just...

get a nice dress or something,

for Chrissakes?

Yes, I know. I- Mm-hmm.

Look, here.

Oh. No, Dad.

I'll just borrow something. Please.

Then- Then just keep it. Okay?

- Whose happiness are you buying?

- Mine.

Then I'll take it.

Take whatever you want.

- Thanks, Missy.

- Yeah.

Um-

Hey, can I try this one?

Go for it, Aim.

F***.

Oh, it's a great house.

How long have you been here?

- Well, we've been here about five years.

- Uh-huh.

And we're going room by room.

It's such a mess.

And the people before- it's as if

they had no idea they were on the water.

There was no use of the views.

And it was supposed to be

finished last week, of course.

Of course.

I mean, sometimes I think-

Aren't contractors aware...

that everybody is talking about them

in this way?

Doesn't it bother them?

- And does it bother you the way

they talk about lawyers, Stan? - Oh.

Ah.

Amy, what do you do?

Um, not much.

No. I mean, um-
