Aims, all she did was talk about

her f***ing cases.

It was like I couldn't

get away from work.

It was, like, no escape, no island.

I started seeing someone

for a while too.

Really?

Yeah.

I, um-

Sorry. What can you do?

I mean, it's-

What?

L- It's okay. I'm not sad.

- It's not- I'm not sad.

- What are you doing?

I just don't feel like seeing you.

You- why?

Amy?

Because I feel bad about myself

when I'm with you.

I feel really bad, and I always have.

But I didn't know it.

I- I was just so used to it.

And I think...

I just thought that that was being alive.

To always feel bad and wrong and...

just insecure and invisible.

So thank you.

Thank you for ending our marriage.

- David.

- Yeah?

I really mean it.

Thank you.

Because I wasn't happy with you.

And I would never have ended it myself.

Truly. I-

And you know what?

I wanna change the papers.

I'm not a f***ing idiot.

I invested a lot of time into you...

and I just think

I should be reimbursed.

Okay.

Amy, we're having a party!

- Oh!

- They picked daddy.

- Amazing, huh?

- Oh.

- I bought the tickets for the trip.

- Come, have a glass of champagne.

- Isn't it just great?

- Yeah, it's really great.

It all worked out.

You see, Ruth?

- And you were right.

- Your mother was worried.

To Gallivanting the Globe."

To Mom and Dad,

for taking me in.

Thanks.

- Noah.

- Come here.

- Dad's retiring.

- Congratulations to everyone.

I'm gonna be my own boss.

Finally f***in' free.

- I'm so happy for you.

- Hmm.

Hey. Oh, my God.

We talked to Phil Bauer.

I think he's in love with you.

He said that you were

the greatest listener he's ever met.

Hi, Gwen!

Are you okay?

Can you- I have to go.

See? See?

That's why I never eat shellfish.

Jeremy

- Jeremy.

- Sh*t.

I didn't know that

you were gonna be here, okay?

I would-l wouldn't have come.

I was hoping that you would be here.

What are you talk- I thought-

I thought that you didn't wanna see me.

Look, okay.

This whole thing is just-

It's embarrassing for me, okay?

And I'd just rather not even talk about it.

You taught me how to be loved.

I don't think that I even knew

what that meant to be loved...

before I met you.

And you're-

you're not a kid, Jeremy, like I said.

You're not like some boy.

I just had never been

with a man before.

And I didn't know what that was like.

F***.

That was a good thing to say.

I don't want anything from you.

I don't. And I know that

we cannot be together.

I know that, but-

My God, when I'm 35, you-

- Yeah. Yeah.

- You're gonna be-

- Right. I got it.

- But I have to say...

I just f***ing love you.

I just f***ing love you.

Okay.

What are you doing?

- I have to-

- Oh, no, you're crazy.

Hey, so I'm gonna be in the sublet for,

like, two months until I find a place.

Okay.

At least I didn't screw

everything up for you.

That's good anyway.

So, retirement- that's exciting. Finally.

And the trip and-

Oh, Dad.

Huh?

Are we ever gonna talk about this?

What is there to talk about?

I gotta go.

Okay.

What can you do?

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

Yeah?

Hey, I'm leaving.

I never liked lapis.

It's just cheap looking.

I'm really sorry

about everything, Mom.

I'm glad that it all worked out

for you guys in the end...

and I'm glad that

Dad got the clients...

and I didn't completely

screw everything up.

Yeah. Well, it doesn't matter.

What do you- What do you mean

it doesn't matter?

Well, we're not going on the trip.

We're not going on the trip.

- You're not?

- No.

He's not retiring.

What?

No, he doesn't want to.

He doesn't want to, Amy.

- Mom.

- Nah.

He never wanted to.

He was never going to.

So, I thought I would, you know

sit here and just...

organize this sh*t!

There's nothing else to do.

There's nothing else to do.

- Mom.

- No.

- Oh, I'm so sorry.

- I don't care.

Mom, come on.

- Hey, Mom, I'm so sorry.

- Oh, stop.

I'm so sorry. Come here.

Come on, come on.

Oh, Amy.

I'm so sorry, Mom.

- I'm sorry.

- No.

I'm sorry for what I've done...

to you.

I'm so sorry.

We will see each other again, right?

Mmm.

You're not just gonna disappear

forever, are you?

No. No.

Okay.

So, Oberlin?

Yeah.

College is gonna be

really exciting, Jeremy.

- F*** off.

- Well, I'm just trying something, right?

I'm trying to be-

You'll fall in love,

and I will kill myself.

Yeah, that's better.

Um...

I wanted to tell you...

I'm gonna finish my thesis.

You are?

Yeah.

I'm gonna go

Gallivanting the Globe"-

- What?

- with my mom.

I'm gonna go with her and take pictures

of her next to rivers.

There are some amazing rivers out there.

The driver just got out of the car.

Well, he's-

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.
