(INAUDIBLE)

(LAUGHS)

MAN:
Hi, Jane.

- Hi!

Happy, happy, happy...

Anniversary.

(EXHALES)

Some things

never change, do they?

I just thought

you might be drifting.

- He was pausing.

JAKE:
Exactly.

JANE:
Okay.

- Happy anniversary.

You two have led an

extraordinarily blessed life.

- Mmm.

- For as long as I've known you,

you've managed to always somehow

do everything entirely right.

That's so true.

But honestly, how could it be 30 years?

When did we do

that trip to Spain?

It was for both

of our what?

Fifteenth anniversaries.

God, that was

a great trip.

Yeah.

OLIVER:
Hey, guys.

How's it going? TED: Hey!

Hey, Ollie.

How was graduation?

It was fantastic.

When's Luke's graduation?

Next week.

It's in three days.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I mean, this week.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Are the girls going?

Yeah, they can't wait.

OLIVER:
How long is Luke home

before he has to go back to work?

- Um... Only a week.

- Oh!

That's it?

I know. I hate it.

AGNESS:
Hi, I'm back.

JAKE:
Hey.

AGNESS:
Here you go, babe.

(SIGHS) Well, congrats again.

Great, great party.

And I'll see

you two in New York.

Absolutely, I'm looking

forward to it.

Yeah. Good. Well...

AGNESS:
Hey, Jane, what are

you wearing to the graduation?

Oh! A suit or a dress.

Probably a suit.

Fancy. Okay. I like that.

Uh, Janey, we'll see you

there. Where are you staying?

We're at the Park Regent.

You said you were at

the Four Seasons, right?

I don't know.

Where are we?

We're at

the Park Regent, too.

Oh. Good. That's... That'll

be convenient, actually, for...

(LAUGHS)

Okay. So, well...

See you soon.

TED:
Bye, Janey.

SALLY:
I'll walk you out.

I thought it was very sweet how

well you and Jake were getting along.

- Yeah.

- Felt like old times.

We do know how to do this

by now. It's been 10 years.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- That's crazy.

- I know.

(SIGHS) Bye-bye.

LAUREN:
Gabby, stop. You are

never gonna fit all this in.

You can come back for

the rest of it tomorrow.

GABBY:
I can't come back...

Oh, God.

That is all my clothes.

This is clothes?

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, good, your mom's home.

She'll figure this out.

Gabby, you're leaving now? I thought

you weren't going till the morning.

Yeah, except all

my friends are there

and they want me to

come tonight. So...

But it's gonna be

dark soon, honey.

And you can't even

see out the back window.

It's Saturday night, people

will be on the road, drinking...

Mom. Mom, she'll be there in a

couple of hours. She'll be fine.

Okay. I'm just gonna

leave this stuff here

and come back

for it in a few days.

You want me to drive it

down in the morning?

I could be there by lunch.

We could go to that big Bed, Bath

and Beyond, get kitchen stuff.

Gabby? Gabby, can you

look up from that thing?

I got it covered, Mom.

Hey, gangster. You gonna

help me carry these?

You know it. Yeah.

GABBY:
What up?

HARLEY:
Oh, no, don't trouble yourself.

- Okay.

Why start now?

(GRUNTS)

(LAUGHING)

Mom, are you afraid to

sleep in the house alone?

- No.

GABBY:
Are you?

No, I'm not! One of you

is always moving out.

I'm just wondering who I'm

gonna watch The Hills with.

Oh! Mamacita.

(LAUGHING)

GABBY:
(SIGHS)

I'm gonna miss you.

JANE:
Mmm-hmm.

Oh, my God!

L. A!

(WHISPERS) Oh, my God!

JANE:
(LAUGHING) Stop!

- Really doing this.

- Okay. Yes, you are.

Do it.

- Oh, Mom.

JANE:
What?

You don't happen to know

where Dad is, do you?

'Cause I tried calling him

to say goodbye.

He was at Ted and Sally's.

He was? How was that?

You and the two

of them at the same...

I mean, that must've...

(HARLEY CHUCKLING)

HARLEY:
How was that?

It was...

Whatever. It was fine.

Was her lunatic child there?

(LAUGHING)

Not this time, no.

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

Now, listen to me.

Call me as soon

as you get there.

(GASPS)

Do not forget. Gabby!

I will! I'll call you.

You knock 'em dead,

little one.

Hey, and call us

when you get there, too.

None of this

on the road. Dangerous.

Right. Thank you.

Okay. Bye!

JANE:
Bye.

GABBY:
I love you, guys.

HARLEY:
Bye.

They grow up so freaking

fast, don't they?

I just hate it.

I hate it.

Mom, maybe you

should get a dog.

Oh, my God.

Goodbye, you two.

Bye. Love you, boss.

Love you.

LAUREN:
Bye, Mom!

Here you go.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

JANE:
Reynaldo.

- Yeah? Too much sugar.

- (CHUCKLES) Little bit.

- I know.

- Have you been helped?

Hey, who wants coffee

while you're waiting?

- Everything okay?

MAN:
It's great, thanks.

JANE:
(CHUCKLES) Good.

Go check on table five,

would you?

Sure.

JANE:
Thanks.

- Hello.

- Hi.

PETER:
Jane!

Peter. Hi!

Hi.

How are you?

Hi!

I can't remember, have you

ever met Adam Schaeffer?

- Yes.

- No.

Well, it was...

It was quick. Well...

Look what we've got.

Your plans.

(GASPS) I'm so excited!

(GIGGLES)

I've been thinking

about this addition for...

Ten years.

Ten years? I know.

(CHUCKLES) Mmm-hmm.

(JANE EXCLAIMS)

Ooh! This is nice. I like

this wall of windows, Peter.

That was Adam, actually.

Oh!

And I love where you've put

the stairs. That is so good.

Adam's idea.

(EXCLAIMS)

I'm finally getting

a real kitchen

with four walls and place

to put everything I want.

You actually understood

what I wanted.

All Adam.

I'm happy you like it.

I'm so... Hi.

(LAUGHS) Hello.

So, you read all my e-mails.

All 47 of them, yes.

- Jane, it's 10:
15.

- Yeah?

Oh, it is.

Sorry, I have an appointment,

a dentist appointment.

Sure.

And, could you

just leave those here

so I could make

a few notes and...

Oh, actually, I do have

one tiny note now.

In my bathroom,

no "his-and-her" sinks.

Oh, okay. Sure. No "his."

Just "hers."

And you don't think in the

future you might want a "his"?

(LAUGHS) Oh, God, we're

talking code about my life now.

No, no,

I didn't mean to be.

The truth is, in my current

bathroom I have two sinks

and sometimes, the other

sink makes me feel bad.

One sink. Not a problem.

But we should schedule another

meeting. Is Tuesday good for you?

Tuesday's great.

8:
30 too early?

- At the house?

- I'll be there.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

- Hi.

- Hi.

Hello, I'm Dr. Moss.

Hi, I'm Jane Adler.

So, what brings

you in today?

(CHUCKLES) Well... Please

don't take this the wrong way.

But I'm the type of person

who kind of makes fun of

people who get plastic surgery.

Well, I understand that.

- You do? Good.

- Mmm-hmm.

Because, you know, some women can

look a little fake and plasticky.

And, I don't know, just,

in my opinion, worse.

I agree.

Well, good.

Because... Okay.

So, as against the whole

thing as I... As I am,

(STAMMERS)

I do have a problem

that's really bugging me.

My left eyelid

is really saggy

and sometimes I find

myself holding it up

when I'm watching TV

or reading or...

I was just wondering if

that's something you could fix.

Look straight ahead. Okay.

Well, you have the same amount

of excess skin on both sides.
