I never tried too hard.

I've always avoided responsibility.

I came here because I was running away.

I wanted to be alone.

Instead, I met you.

I met you, and you weren't

taking anything for granted.

I hope you get

all the moments you deserve.

I hope you go back to New York

and sit in the Met...

... in the room with the paintings

of the Hudson River.

And I hope when you do,

you take Lucy with you...

... because I know she would love it.

I'm sorry if I've made your life

more complicated.

I'm sorry for a lot of things,

but most of all...

... I'm sorry I never got the chance

to tell you no matter what happens next...

... I'll never be anything but grateful

for every moment I spent with you.

And even though I keep fumbling

for the right words...

... all I really wanted to say

was thank you.

Grandma.

Grandma.

I had one of my children's books

FedEx'd from L.A.

It's called Pandy: The Unlovable

Self-Destructive Teddy Bear.

You might really like it.

There's no pictures yet,

because you'll--

Grandma? Phyllis.

Grandma. Wake up.

Grandma?

Okay. Yeah.

Grandma.

You wrote me a letter.

It's freezing out here.

Seriously, I mean, I've heard things,

but this is ridiculous. It's-- You know?

It's depressing.

I'm gonna miss you a little bit.

Good.

Do you maybe want to go for a walk

or something?

I can't. I have to--

I have to get back inside.

Okay.

I'll see you around.

Goodbye, Sarah.

Wait.

You know, I have to have the last word.

You're welcome.

Stumped?

Yeah, I guess. I was so close.

To what?

Being finished.

Well, what happened?

I just feel like it's missing something

at the end.

You have any ideas for me?

What's it about?

My grandmother. She passed away.

- Sorry. Was she wonderful?

- Yeah. She was pretty wonderful.

- Did you spend a lot of time with her?

- Towards the end.

That's nice.

That's a really nice thing

to be writing about.

No. I got no ideas.

That's so disappointing.

It would have been so cool

if I could have just come in...

...and given you that perfect nugget

of genius, and then walked away.

It's what any decent waitress

would've done.

- Sorry. Settle for a refill?

- Okay.

I'm Carter.

Janey. Very nice to meet you.

Yeah. You too.

You know, if you're not too busy...

...I was wondering maybe do you

wanna read the scene I'm working on?

It's really rough, but I think

I could really use some fresh eyes.

Okay. But I have to warn you,

I'm a really tough critic.

Terrific.
