This is what you get for following

the black sheep across the country.

Well, if you're black sheep,

then I'm a black sheep.

We're two black sheeps.

It's me.

It's ringing.

Hello?

Ma?

Hi.

Thank you.

Hey...

Hi. I didn't know...

Joey, I don't know

what you want, but...

This is all I can do.

Ma'am!

You gotta be kidding me.

What is that you're doing

down there?

Nothing!

Ma'am, it's illegal

to be doing what you're doing.

I need you to step

out of the water, okay?

I'm a resident

of greater Los Angeles,

and if you want me

to get out of this ocean,

you're just gonna have to come

in and drag me the hell out!

You think about who

your one phone call is.

Well, thank you very much.

It was my absolute pleasure.

Here, I'll take that.

Yeah.

Um...

Do you ever listen to Beyonc?

'Course.

Yeah, you know, she has

this song, "I was here."

Do you know that one?

I don't think I do.

Well, it goes,

"I wanna leave my footprints

in the sands of time.

"Know that I left

something behind.

"When I leave this world,

I leave no regrets.

"To know I left something

to remember,

so they won't forget."

That sounds like a good one.

Yeah.

Well, um...

When you bailed me out,

did you do that

because you're

an officer of the law?

No, that's actually the

opposite of what I usually do.

I bailed you out as a friend.

Um...

You wanna go

to an action movie sometime?

Definitely.

Mom, where are you?

You left in the middle

of the night and I got worried.

Are you okay? Can you call

me when you get this?

Love you.

Hey, it's me.

I hope you're not mad at me.

Maybe just text me and let

me know that you got this.

Okay, love you.

Okay, I'm officially worried.

Where are you?

Call me. This is weird.

This is your daughter.

Hey, Marnie, it's Jillian.

I was wondering if you could

watch Tehya for me today.

Dani and I have

a thing at 7:
00.

You're a lifesaver. Thank you.

Dani, we're leaving.

Grandma Marnie's here!

Here she is. Here's my girl!

Guess what? We're gonna get

to play all night.

Oh, bye.

She's so sad to leave us.

- She's distraught.

- Yeah! Yeah!

Well, we're matching.

This is like the second time.

What should we do?

How about a story?

Okay.

Yes, would you like that?

Hey, it's Lori.

Leave a message.

Anyways,

I just thought I'd check in

and see what you're up to

and how your date

went last night

or whatever it is you

wanted me to call it.

I don't know how much longer I'm

going to have cell phone reception

'cause I'm going to Topanga to

see my friend with the chickens.

And then, a Jason Statham

movie... his new movie,

the one where he plays

the guy who stops time.

It looks fabulous.

And then tomorrow,

I told Jillian

that I would babysit for Tehya,

so I'll be in the neighborhood, if

you want me to bring by bagels,

or look at whatever you're working

on or whatever, you know.

Because next weekend, I think

I'm gonna go to the desert.

I'm thinking... I don't know...

If I'll actually stay the night,

but I'm thinking I'd maybe

like to see the desert.

I mean, it's right there, right?

Anyway, call me.

Love you!

Oh...
