Your mother is the best. She's

just the be St.

All right, okay, um,

well, come visit!

You know, stop by any time,

it's your classroom.

I'm just babysitting, so...

Okay.

You okay?

Okay.

You're lucky, I was gonna

finish off your fries.

I bet you can't get fries

that good...

In any fancy New York diner.

Nope.

So, Alex, have you decided

what you want to do...

For your birthday?

It's October.

Yeah, but December 1st is gonna

be here before you know it.

Does anybody have any questions

about what's going on with mom?

This is... her body is shutting

down.

That's... that's what

you're noticing.

How's Daniel?

Good.

Good.

Working a lot.

I'm so grateful that you've

had him through this.

Yeah.

How about you?

You dating anybody?

When would I do that?

Well, what about... what's his

name, Pete?

From... the homecoming guy?

Ew. He has little,

baby corn teeth.

I loved his teeth.

How about you, David?

How's the writing going?

It's great.

Yeah, did you turn in

the ABC script?

Yeah.

That's good!

And how's Paul?

He's good. Thanks for asking.

Ooh, it's grandma.

I'll be right back.

Hey Ruth-Anne...

It's like, what the f***?

He still can't ask about Paul?

You've never asked about me

or Rebeccah.

What, Alex? Yes, I have.

Other people are sad, too.

I know that.

What ev...

So, on a scale of one to,

like, a f***ing million...

How terrible is

everyone on ok cupid?

What?

Like a f***ing trillion, right?

Well, I mean, they're not

that bad. We're on it.

Well, yeah, I mean we're great.

We're fantastic people.

But like everyone else,

f***ing lunatics, right?

It might just be 'cause

it's Sacramento.

I kind of like Sacramento.

Really?

Yeah.

I'm like, kind of drunk,

I think.

Really?

Yeah.

You know, I'm feeling good.

I'm not.

I mean, I guess I just thought

that we were like eating.

When I said 9:
00...

I just thought it was implied

it was just drinks only.

You are just trying to make

me black out.

What? No, I'm not, no.

Aren't you?

I'm kidding.

Right.

So, we are we going?

Um...

Next.

We could go watch

a movie at my place.

I got mirror, mirror at the

grocery store.

Oh, my f***ing god.

That's just all they had.

That's all they had?

I'm gonna get a pen.

Okay.

I really would love to watch

a movie with you...

It's just, I have to be up

at like 6:
00...

To help my mom,

that's not a line.

Your mom?

Yeah, she's sick.

Oh.

No, it's fine.

No, I'm sorry about that,

it's not fine.

She just started hospice, so now

is most definitely not fine.

But... it's fine.

Okay, I think I need to go

to the bathroom.

Okay.

I'm really sorry, I feel like

I'm being the weird one...

On this date, which I'm normally

the normal one.

It's okay.

On dates.

But I'll just be right back.

F***.

I'm back.

Hey.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

No, I just... I was just...

I threw up on my face.

Norman hey, it's dad.

You must be still at the gym.

Maybe boxing or something.

Anyway, would you mind picking

up some toilet paper...

And some laxatives?

Just make sure to get

the suppository kind.

Okay? Thank you!

F***.

Announcer mm.

You're listening to the lineup.

Urging you to love somebody

tonight.

This next song is going out

to Alan in Iraq.

Your fiance Trish loves you

very much...

And thanks you for all that

you do for your country.

Alan, here's "drops of Jupiter".

Oh my f***ing f***!

Where is the medicine?

Toothpaste.

Medicine!

Okay, where are the f***ing

laxatives?

What the f***? Aisle 5,

medicine, health, wellness...

I literally need something

that is all of these things.

Where the f*** is it?

Oh, my god, oh, my god.

Bunch of f***ing bouncy balls

in the medicine aisle...

But there's no f***ing medicine.

Hello? Anyone? Am I

in a ghost store?

Hi. I was just looking

for your laxatives.

Not for me.

Yeah, that'll be aisle 5.

Okay. Okay.

Go back to aisle 5...

With the f***ing medicine...

And no laxatives.

That's what I'll do, I'll look

at all the same sh*t...

I already looked at.

My god, I f***ing hate this

place.

I f***ing hate this, aspirin,

I f***ing hate this...

F***ing Robitussin, f***ing

q-tips.

What the f***, this f***ing

lady?

F***ing... oh, my god.

What the f***?

Where the f*** is it?

I'm a f***ing good person.

I'm a f***ing good person!

Where are the laxatives?

I just f***ing want

to find the laxatives.

Where the f*** are the

laxatives?

Are you okay?

Um... I was just looking

for laxatives.

They're right here...

In front of you.

Thank you.

Hope you feel better.

Hey... you okay?

I didn't get the show, so...

Oh... shoot, I'm sorry.

Yeah, this other guy got it.

I found out on Twitter.

Oh, that's frustrating.

Mike Madrigan, he's like eleven.

An eleven-year-old.

Maybe you weren't supposed

to get this job...

So that you could be here.

Everything happens for a reason.

Yeah, I don't believe that.

Listen, um...

If you wanna invite

him to dinner sometime...

Him, who?

That'd be...

Paul.

Paul?

Paul.

We broke up.

So, you're too late.

I'm sor... I didn't know you...

I didn't know you broke up.

Oh my god. Oh, my god!

I just wanted to...

We were together five years,

and he can come to dinner now?

David, I just want...

What is this? What...

You and I bought f***ing diapers

together for her today.

We sat with the hospice and

picked up medicine together.

I've been f***ing living

with you in your house...

For 10 months...

And it's been good...

Because I keep thinking, "oh, I

like the way he's helping mom".

Or "maybe he's getting more

accepting"...

But then it's like, you won't

even come up to my apartment...

Whenever we're in New York?

It's like this one little thing

and you won't do it!

You won't!

I'm gonna be f***ing

30-years-old!

And mom's gonna be dead,

and then what?

Um, are we gonna be closer then?

Like, do I still come home?

Or, what? Because I want to!

Of course, you come home.

I want to want to! But it's

just... it's been ten years...

And I will not be nervous saying

"he" or "boyfriend"...

Around you anymore,

because it f***ing sucks!

It f***ing sucks!

And I've had such a shitty,

lonely year.

And I can't bother mom

with any of this...

And I can't talk to you

about any of this.

So, what am I supposed to do?

I can't even talk to you

about the fact that I'm gay.

Of course, you can talk to me.

No, I can't.

About that, David, I've always

said, I'm available any time...

You want to debate that.

It's not a f***ing debate!

It's not a f***ing debate.

I'm sorry I keep cursing at

church, but I feel a lot better.

I don't give a sh*t.

And I haven't been working out.

I went to the gym once...

And I just sat in my car

and read us weekly.

Anything else you want

to talk about?

When mom dies, Paul's coming.

I want him here,

so Paul's coming.

Hi, Joanne! Can you see me?

Hi.

We can see you, hi!

Can you see me, guys?

Yes, we can see you, Patti,

just talk!

Can you see me?

Yes, just talk.
