get your dog

out of my room?

How is this your room?

I was here first.

See? My luggage.

Really? well,

how about my luggage?

I thought

that was laundry.

Come on, Frank, let's go play

with the squeaky squirrel.

Come on, Mozart.

Come on, Mozart.

It's okay, kitty.

Come on...

Come on, Mozart.

This whole house mix-up thing

doesn't seem to be

bothering you very much.

Yeah, well,

there's nothing we can

do about it right now.

Que sera sera.

"Que sera sera..."

Yeah,

"whatever will be, will be."

Like the song, you know...

I know where it's from.

You don't have to be rude.

I'm sorry.

It's just, well, I...

I like to plan,

and I was planning on

having some peace and quiet

to get my work done.

Yeah, well, this wasn't

exactly what I wanted

when I rented the place either.

You mean when

I rented the place.

Fine, you rented the place,

I rented the place.

So, what are we going

to do about it?

Maybe I can help?

Hi.

Who are you?

I'm Ellen.

Ellen Davis.

I own the place.

When I got the text message

from the rental company,

I came over

as soon as I could.

It's probably just

a computer glitch

or something.

That must be it,

but the problem

remains,

I have two tenants,

and only one house.

What about

another rental?

I can put in

a request for you,

but we probably

won't hear anything

until tomorrow.

And none of the hotels

in this town take pets,

cats or dogs.

What are we supposed to do?

Right, well...

I'll tell you what.

I'm going to waive

the first night's rental fee.

No, you don't

have to do that...

Thank you,

that's so nice of you.

And I'll check back

with you tomorrow,

but for

right now, I...

I guess it's

up to the both of you.

So, what do you think?

Can you get along

for just one night?

Is it safe

out here?

Frank is upstairs,

asleep in the bedroom.

It's not all

his fault, you know.

Nice camera.

My dad had a d8100.

You a photographer?

Me? No. Not really.

I just like to take pictures.

Can I see some?

No, I don't ever

show anybody.

It's just for me.

Why not?

That's for me.

I ordered a pizza.

Of course you did.

Want some?

No, thank you.

I'm eating raw

this month.

And I don't suppose

your cat wants any either?

Definitely not.

Mozart is on

a very special diet.

Frank pretty much just eats

whatever falls on the floor.

There you go then.

What do you mean?

The difference,

between cats and dogs.

Delicious.

Delicious.

Hi!

Surprise!

My gosh!

Yeah, surprise!

My gosh...

I know.

Wait, so there's

a guy in your place?

Yeah, it's just a mix-up

with the rental company.

It's fine.

Why don't you come

stay with us?

That's very, very sweet,

but I've already paid

for the house, you know.

They're not going

to push me out, don't worry.

Okay, just for one night,

and plus, I've got Frank

to protect me,

right, Frank?

All right, well,

if you ladies

will excuse me,

I've got a nursery that's

not going to paint itself.

I thought maybe

you were going

to bring David.

You guys make

such a cute couple.

Yeah, well, now he's

making a cute couple

with someone else.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

It's my fault, mainly.

He wanted a commitment,

and I just wasn't ready.

I feel like

I'm not ready for anything.

What do you mean?

I mean that

I've been out of school

for over a year,

and I just feel like I'm lost.

You know, I see you and Kenny,

and you're having a baby.

You're getting on

with your life.

And I'm still at home,

working at my parents'

accounting business.

It's a good job.

I know,

it's just, it's their job,

it's not mine.

I'm just scared

that I'm going

to wake up some morning,

and see my mother

staring back at me

in the mirror.

Okay.

So, what do you want to do

with your life?

That's just it.

I have no idea.

At all.

So, how's the house?

It's beautiful.

Right on the water,

and I am going to get

so much work done

once they're gone.

When who's gone?

Spencer...

I thought you were alone

in the house?

I will be.

It's just,

the rental company,

they messed

something up,

and they

double-booked the place.

With who?

It's just this old guy.

He's kinda smelly,

and he's got

this mutt.

But they'll

be gone tomorrow.

Well, that's good.

You really need

to concentrate, Spencer.

My father is counting on you,

and so am I.

I know, and I will.

I miss you.

Do you miss me?

Well, it's been

pretty busy around here,

but, of course, I do.

Goodnight, Spencer.

Goodnight.

I love...

You.

What?

It wasn't exactly a lie.

Besides,

they'll be gone tomorrow.

Nobody will ever know,

and nobody will get hurt.

You found

your luggage.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Good morning, Frank.

Five more minutes.

What is that?

Morning.

Yeah, it is.

I like to get

an early jump on the day.

At 6:
00 A.M.?

Yeah, best time

to do exercises.

No noises, no distractions.

I can work myself

into a calm,

meditative state.

Frank!

Just a minute!

All yours.

Hey, I'm making a Kale,

beet, celery, vinegar,

bark extract smoothie,

do you want some?

I'm fine, thanks.

That's not very good

for you, you know!

Hey...

Hello?

Could-could you turn

your music down, please?

What?

The... the music,

could you turn it down?

I'm trying to write.

Well, I'm trying

to get inspiration

for my photographs.

Could you use headphones?

No, I don't like them.

And I thought

we were going to attempt

to get along.

We were,

until you called me smelly

and my dog a mutt.

How did you...?

At least we're saved.

It's the rental company.

I'm sure they've found

something by now.

Good, you won't be

stuck with me anymore.

And you won't be stuck

with me anymore.

Hello.

Yes.

Okay, good, very well.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Well?

We're stuck with each other.

Well, I guess the best

way for us to do this

is submit our respective

meal plans,

and then divide up

the cost of the groceries.

Meal plans?

Yeah, you just decide

what you want

for breakfast,

lunch, and dinner

for the following week,

and then shop accordingly.

Are you kidding?

I never plan

that far in advance.

It's not that difficult.

You just...

Make a choice

and stick with it.

Okay, well, what if

I decide on chicken wings

for Thursday,

and then by Wednesday,

I change my mind

and I want

macaroni and cheese,

and I'm stuck?

Well, you can't just

order pizza every day.

I don't.

Sometimes, I get Chinese,

or Mexican, and Thai.

You know, that's not exactly

a healthy way to live.

Okay, fine.

I'm going to go

get some groceries.

Good.

There we go.

Graham crackers, marshmallows,

and a chocolate bar.

That's what you're

going to eat?

Are you kidding?

About what?

You've never

had s'mores before?

You take the chocolate,

and you melt it with

the marshmallow, and then...

I know what s'mores are,

thank you.

I just choose not

to put that much sugar

and whatever other

chemicals are in that

into my body.

Well, I do.

Okay, so tell me about
