[phone ringing]
[Sara] Hey, Terry, what's up?
Sara, John Masters called.
He wants to see you about
corporate legal advice.
Yeah, John Masters,
the CEO of Powerhouse?
Uh, looks like he has time
tomorrow, so I tentatively
set up a meeting at 10:00.
Patch me through to Jake.
[phone ringing]
Good morning, Sara.
Jake, so I have...
Uh, one second, please.
So, listen, I have
an appointment tomorrow at 10:00
with John Masters.
I think he's
the CEO of Powerhouse.
If you would look into that,
I will be right there
after I drop some stuff off
at my parents' house.
You got it.
Thank you.

and will be there
as soon as humanly possible.
Come on, children,

Let the jerkoffs

Come on, children,

[man weeping]
It's gonna be all right, Ralph.
It's gonna be all right.
I don't wanna leave home.
-Yeah, yeah, okay, I understand.
-Get him this one.
Look, Ralph, here's--
here's some water.
Here, take a swallow.
It'll help clear your throat.
Thanks, babe.
You understand,
don't you, Chief?
Yeah, absolutely.
Look, if you don't wanna go,
just tell your son
you're not doing it, okay?
That's what I would do.
I would've tried that,
but the truth is,
I don't wanna live alone either.
Ralph?
Ralph, Ralph!
What's going on? You're moving?
-Yeah,
-Yeah, where to?
-Pleasantville Manor.
-Oh, the manor!
That is right
down the road from me.
No, no, no, you're not gonna
be alone there, Ralph.
Promise.
I just hope
I see you guys again.
-Oh, you're gonna see us again.
-Ralph, of course
you're gonna see us again.
Right, Kay?
And look,
you're not that far away.
And I always have
my phone handy, all right?
So if you wanna do it,
just call me. It's always here.
Come on,
let me help you out, Ralph.
Anytime, he'll call you anytime.
-All the time, night or day.
-Okay...
Yeah, I have the scars
to prove it.
-[Ralph] Bye.
-[Kay] Watch your step here.
Watch your step there,
Ralphie boy.
-[Ralph, weeping] Okay.
-[Kay] I got it.
[Kay] That's it.
[sighing]
-Sara.
-He's-- Yes, yes.
Don't ever do that to us, okay?
The only way I'm leaving here
is feet-first on a slab.
[Kay] Your father's right.
Oh, yeah, you guys
are gonna stick it out,
you kids, you, huh? All right.
Well, speaking of that,
on a very timely note, here are
your wills to sign, please.
You split everything between
you and Sissy when we're gone?
Well, why would I do that, Dad?
Sissy has Todd
to take care of her.
I need to support myself.
No, of course I did.
You're kidding me. Also,
here are your powers of attorney
and your living wills to sign.
Oh, oh, no, no, no.
No living will. No living will.
-Me neither.
-Wha-- Why not?
Because I don't
want anybody else
able to pull
the plug on me, okay?
Hey, Kay, do you remember
Charlie, uh, McDowell,
and he had that stroke?
-[high-pitched whining]
-Who?
Yeah, well, um, anyway,
Charlie McDowell had a stroke,
and the doctor
got his family together
and called them together
and said,
well, he wasn't gonna make it.
-Fine.
-I'll help you.
Well, the doctor was wrong.
But if Charlie had done
that living will,
the doctor would've been right,
but Charlie would've been dead.
Yeah.
Well, far be it from me
to compete
with Charlie's resurrection.
So, why don't you just sign
the powers of attorney?
How about that?
That way I can take care
of you, Dad, okay?
In case you guys can't.
If we sign these
powers of attorney,
you can't sign
those living wills for us.
No. God, no, Dad.
Well, I wanna read
through them first, okay?
Okay. Yeah, well, that was
kind of the whole point.
All right, I gotta go to work.
Yeah, I gotta go to work, too.
I gotta see a man about a horse.
That's lovely, Dad.
[gentle music]
Sara? Sara, wait.
Have you heard from Eric lately?
Yes. As a matter of fact,
he just called last week.
-How's he doing?
-He's good.
You know, he was a big
help to us. We really miss him.
Yes, I miss him, too.
Well, moving to Oregon
seems to be about
as far away from here
as you could possibly get.
At least in the lower 48.
Does he have a job?
No, Dad, he doesn't have a job.
So, you're still supporting him.
Yeah, let's just hope
he doesn't turn out
like his old man,
that worthless b*stard.
We're still there, are we?
Well, don't worry
about Eric, Dad.
I will euthanize him before
I let him do that, okay?
Well, maybe that's
why he's there.
[upbeat orchestral music]
Gentlemen.
So, my company and I
need advice,
and our board unanimously agrees
that you're the one to give it.
Well, thank you
for your confidence.
I have worked with a few of them
before on other matters.
No thanks needed.
You have a great reputation,
and we're just here
to get acquainted.
-Okay.
-This is my team.
You'll get to know them
soon enough,
but for today's purposes,
there's only one player
you need to meet.
Donald Decker.
Donald is our general counsel.
As you can see, he is literally
and figuratively
my right-hand man.
He'll be your primary contact.
Wonderful to meet you,
Mr. Decker.
So, here's the problem.
Recently,
Trojan Capital Investments
bought a 5% position
in our company.
Our board and I think that they
may be trying to take control,
and we don't want that
to happen.
Well, it sounds like
you and your board
have very good instincts.
I do know Trojan.
I went to law school with one of
their attorneys, Ben Jacobs.
Mm.
Trojan is a predator.
They will often
target a company,
buy a large block of stocks,
and try to take it over.
If they are successful,
they will very often wring money
out of the company,
oftentimes leaving it bankrupt
and employees out of work.
That's what we thought.
We cannot let that happen.
My God.
More than 1,000 of our employees
are also shareholders
through their pension plans.
Well, they could end up losing
their retirement savings
as well as their jobs.
Right. Well, with Trojan,
that is definitely
a very real possibility.
When is your shareholders'
next meeting scheduled?
[John] Uh...
-In about six months, John.
-Um...
Generally, I like to
send an email--
Uh, excuse me.
I have an urgent phone call.
Uh, but I promise
it will be brief.
Jake, if you don't mind.
[Decker sighing]
[rock music playing]
The crisis at the border
continues to mount
as hordes of Central Americans,
including vagrants and thieves,
make their way through Mexico
-to the Texas border...
-Hello?
[sighing]
Dad, what's wrong?
Ah! Ah, I just wanted
to let you know
that my new chair arrives today,
and I wanted you to see it.
What? I will see the chair
this weekend, Dad.
I'm in the middle of
an important meeting.
Well, if it's such
an important meeting,
why did you call me?
Well, I... I didn't.
You called me.
[newscaster]
...threatened with
terminations.
Oh, thank God
for convenience stores.
You got me a large?
[Jake] I'm large, too.
It's not a big deal.
[sighing]
Thank you for
your patience, gentlemen.
Odds are that Trojan
is planning a takeover bid
before your shareholders'
next meeting.
We will certainly know
soon enough.
They will start to publicly
criticize your management
and propose new directors
for the board.
Criticize what?
The company's profitable,
and extremely well-run,
if I do say so myself.
Well, I'm sure that
is true, John,
but we do need to start looking
for vulnerabilities.
Trojan already has.
Okay.
Give Sara access to whatever
information she wants.
And give me copies
of everything she gets.
Gentlemen.
Okay, I'm gonna need
a review of all of
Trojan's other takeover attempts
In a summary, let's say,
uh, Sunday.
I have to see Mom
and Dad on Saturday.
-Got it.
-All right.
I'm gonna review
the company's financials
to see what Trojan might target.
We've got to get up to speed,
like, now.
Okay.
Oh, by the way, I owe you for
the hose in more ways than one.
I so hope that it wasn't
awkward buying them.
Could've been worse.
At least it wasn't
feminine hygiene product,
like my first month on the job.
Ha.
Impressed with the big client.
No doubt.
Maybe I'll get to play with
the big boys in the firm.
Wouldn't count on it.
They've ignored your successes
in the past.
Yeah, I think it's been
three years running.
Tell you what, it's easier
to break into the priesthood
than it is to
the executive committee here.
You're probably right.
But defending the company
will be exciting.
And I'll help
with anything I can.
Anything? Great.
Okay, my friend,
your assignment is
to get Decker to crack a smile.
Ooh. Hmm. Gonna have
to brainstorm on that.
-You can do it.
-Okay, all right.
-Catch up with you later.
-All right.
-Thank you, Jake.
-You're welcome.
...professionals throughout
the country
-against the practice.
-Dad, Mom?
In here, where I usually am.
Oh, look at that. There you are.
...intended to intimidate,
and--
Oh, my gosh.
The mute button
does actually work.
Huh. Why do you watch this,
Dad? Seriously.
Like, all this fear-mongering
stuff. It's ridiculous.
Because you have
to stay current.
'Kay, just because I'm not on
the front lines anymore
does not mean I don't need
the best intelligence.
Ooh, intelligence.
Wow. About what, Dad?
Well, for ill*gal immigration.
Crime. Huh? Drugs.
[laughs] Okay.
I'm so sorry that I asked.
Uh, look,
why don't you turn it off,
and then we can,
uh, get to looking
at this new big-boy chair
of yours. Look at that.
-Oh, here we go! Ha!
-All right!
-Can't wait.
-All right, here, sit. Here.
-Let me show you. Yeah.
-I'm sitting? I'm sit-- Okay.
Come on, have a seat. Yeah.
-Wait till you see this.
-Ooh, this is really low.
-Okay, okay. Here we go.
-Ah. Okay.
Ha-ha!
-[chair buzzing]
-Did we hit a bicycle now?
Look at this thing.
You see.
Look at this.
How much money did
you guys spend on this?
Not enough. Puts me right
into the starting position.
I gotta admit, Dad,
that is actually pretty cool.
Yeah, well, that's nothing.
Wait till you see this.
-There's more.
-Oh, here we go.
Ah.
Ah. You gotta get one of these.
Okay. You know what?
-What?
-You haven't even seen the best.
[whimsical music]
And the footrest is coming up.
My new command post.
Master of the universe.
Well, gotta be honest, Dad,
the whole
command post announcement
would be a lot more convincing
if it wasn't done while
laying flat on your back.
Did you, uh-- did you read
the manual, the instructions
for this command post
center of yours, Dad?
Oh, no. This--
this chair explains itself.
Does it?
Oh, it's fascinating, Dad.
Gonna go chat with Mom.
...conservative credentials
who have been fired
or threatened with termination
for simply stating
their positions...
[birds chirping]
...in order to
protect and preserve
Second Amendment rights.
Violent crime...
It's getting dark.
Oh, my goodness.
Hey, Dad, listen, Mom said
something about
some money missing.
Do you know anything about that?
She's been hiding money
all over the house
and then forgetting
where she puts it.
Oh, do not tell her
I told you that.
Oh, she didn't mention
anything about hiding it.
I don't know. I will, uh...
I will talk to her
about it next time.
I'm gonna roll out of here.
Wait, wait--
Where are you going so soon?
Well, how about I don't
really wanna spend
the rest of my evening
watching AmeriFlag?
-If you would just give it--
-[exclaiming]
I don't wanna hear it.
I work really long hours.
I live miles away, and
I would like to get some rest.
How about staying for dinner?
I don't wanna
stay for dinner-- [coughing]
Oh, come on, you only come
to see us once a week.
Oh, here we go.
You know, if Sissy lived here,
she'd be here more often.
Sissy chose to live
in Florida, didn't she, Dad?
You know what?
If you lived closer to me,
like, say,
Pleasantville Manor,
then, you know,
maybe you could see me
more often.
Oh, God, don't even
kid about that, Sara.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Come on,
-I got something for you.
-Gosh, I almost made it.
Let's see. I got, uh,
the will, power of attorney.
Oh, look at that.
Something I actually did want.
Wait a minute. You wrote
your own funeral instructions?
-Mm-hmm.
-Yeah?
Planning on doing
your eulogy, too?
I'm working on it.
[TV playing faintly]
Here you are.
[chuckling]
-Bye, babe.
-Love you, Dad.
Unsurprisingly,
g*n control advocates
have jumped to the Department
of Defense before even...
How was he otherwise?
Oh, the usual. Trying to control
everything and everyone
in his ever-shrinking world.
Tells me that I don't
visit enough, of course.
Yeah, well, just remember
how much they did for us
after Dad left
and you went to law school.
Yes, you are absolutely right.
They did a lot for me and us.
The last break from work
that I had this past week,
I spent visiting them.
And-- and you know,
speaking of work, young man...
I've got some prospects.
Don't worry.
I'll be paying my own way soon.
It's not the money that
I'm worried about, sweetheart.
It's just I can't imagine
that there are very many
sports statistician jobs
in Portland.
There's only three professional
teams there, am I right?
I'll talk to you later, Mom.
[phone beeping]
So this is where we are.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
And that is why
Jake is indispensable.
[all chuckling]
We are going to need a defense
as aggressive as that blitz.
We also believe that Trojan
is going to be attacking
the revenue drop
in the energy sector,
research costs
and management compensation.
Wait a minute. Number one,
the drop in energy product
revenue is not unique to us.
Number two, research costs
are necessary
to be cutting-edge.
Number three, management pay
is linked to performance.
All of that is true, John,
but please believe me,
we need to prepare ASAP
for Trojan's as*ault
on these areas.
Okay, okay. If-- if she's right,
we need to share this
information with the board.
Donald, set up a meeting
for next week.
As you wish, John.
[sighing] Thank you, Sara.
Oh, wow. Who got me flowers?
The firm's executive committee.
-Hmm!
-Pretty nice, huh?
Tell you what.
"Congratulations on Powerhouse.
"Let us know if there's
anything that you need."
Huh! Thank you, Terry.
Appreciate it.
Yeah.
Anything. [scoffing] Anything.
How about a seat
on the executive committee?
How about that?
Or how about a voice
in running the firm?
How about that?
Yeah, you certainly deserve it.
I mean, jeez,
you brought in at least 20%
of the firm's revenue
the last few years.
Hey, by the way,
that was a really good job
on the PowerPoint,
except for the human error,
which, of course, was mine.
Thanks. I actually
learned a lot doing it.
Things that I think the company
could do to trip up Trojan.
Oh, great.
Well, we'll get together later,
and, uh, you can tell me
your ideas.
Uh, well, Sara, I sort of meant
I'd like to present my ideas
directly to the company.
Jake, we were hired
for this job because of me.
I'm the face of the firm
for the company, not you.
You know, remember the memo
that I need for management
and the board,
so they know what to expect?
And I also would
like you to supervise
the junior associates and
the research that they're doing.
-Right.
-Okay. Thank you, Jake.
-I appreciate you.
-No worries.
[Jake sighing]
Come on, children,
rip it up
Let the jerkoffs
clean it up
[phone ringing]
Touch my body, touch--
Hello?
Hello, Miss Jones?
Yes, is this she.
This is Dr. Evans
at Memorial Hospital,
calling about your father.
Yes?
Your father's
in the emergency room.
We're admitting him to the ICU.
He wants you here.
Is he okay?
What happened? What's wrong?
He's badly injured.
We'll know more
after he's been transferred.
Okay, thank you. Um, I will be--
I will be right there.
-See you soon.
-[sighing]
Jake, listen, my dad's
just been admitted
to the ICU at Memorial Hospital.
[gentle guitar music]
Hey, yeah.
Hi. What a g*dd*mn mess.
-Yeah? How you feeling?
-Awful. I hurt all over.
Yeah. Sorry.
What happened? Mom beat you up?
-That's not funny, Sara.
-A little bit.
Ah, you should see her.
[chuckling]
Seriously, Dad, what happened?
I fell last night.
But it wasn't my fault.
[chair buzzing]
[snoring]
[thud]
Kay!
Kay!
Kay!
What have you done, Joe?
I haven't done anything.
Call 911.
Oh, you're hurt.
Okay, all right. Calling.
[sighing]
This is Kay Flynn.
We need an ambulance.
My husband, Joe Flynn, is hurt.
Yes, it's the same Joe Flynn
who was chief of police.
He fell.
You have the address, right?
Okay. Thank you. Okay, bye.
They're coming, hon.
[gasping] Oh.
You're bleeding all over my rug.
Can you believe your mother,
cleaning the carpet
while I'm lying there
bleeding and in pain?
Yeah, I-- I kind of can, Dad.
You know her motto.
Cleanliness is
next to godliness.
You kind of run a distant third.
You know that.
Yeah. Where is
the cleaning lady, anyway?
Yeah. She's home
straightening up the room.
Of course she is.
Well, on another note,
I don't suppose you know
what the instructions said about
where to put the hand remote
when you're not using it.
I didn't read them.
Yeah, and the chair itself
didn't explain it?
Oh, please, please,
don't tell Sissy.
You know how upset she gets.
I won't.
You get some rest, Dad, okay?
-Okay.
-All right.
[chair scraping]
[sighing]
[monitor beeping]
Hey. Yeah, don't know yet.
Just waiting to hear.
Um, I'd appreciate that email
when you get a chance.
Thank you, Jake.
[somber music]
[sighing]
[doctor] Thanks.
Oh, hi, Doctor.
I'm his daughter.
Sara. Hey, is that you?
-Hi.
-How are you? I, I--
God, um, you-you look great.
-Uh, wow. Thank you. So do you.
-Yeah, thanks.
I didn't expect to see you here,
but I guess I should've
put two and two together.
I know that you've been taking
care of him for years, so.
-Yeah.
-Listen, well, can you tell me
anything about his condition?
Yeah, well, he's pretty beat up.
It looks like he managed
to rupture his colon
and fracture his skull
when he fell.
Okay. He really did
manage to hurt himself.
Yeah, so he'll need
surgery on the colon.
Uh, but first we need to get
his blood pressure
under control.
Wait, wait, wait. Surgery? When?
Uh, best case,
maybe two, three days.
Uh, an-- and then?
And then he'll stay
in the hospital
until he's ready for a rehab
center or home healthcare.
Oh, okay, wow. Um...
Yeah, he's gonna need a lot
of care and attention, isn't he?
And I'm not quite sure
how I'm gonna handle that.
What do you mean?
Oh, I just-- Work is
a little crazy, and now this.
Well, if you're anything
like the girl I used to know,
I'm sure you'll figure
a way to pull it off.
[chuckles] Thank you.
Yeah. Well, it was--
it was great to see you.
It was good to see you.
Thank you so much
-for everything you do.
-Ab-- absolutely. Yeah.
Oh. Good to see you.
-Take care.
-Absolutely. See you soon.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
Oh.
[pills rattling]
[sighing]
Hey, Eric. Baby, how are you?
Um, listen, can you come home?
Hey, Jake, yeah,
the memo's really good,
but I added a list
of do's and don'ts to it, uh,
to give to
the board and management.
-Just arrived.
-Okay, do me a favor.
Please send Decker
both to circulate
to the board and the team. Okay?
Will do. Hope your dad's
surgery goes well.
-[high-pitched whining]
-[sighing]
Hey, Ma. Been here for a while.
-You sure you're okay?
-Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay.
Okay, do I need
to get you a new hearing aid,
because that one
is squealing so badly?
No. I-- I hear fine.
I feel-- feel pretty good.
Um, Ma, I wanted to
ask you something.
Dad mentioned something
about a collection bill
that-- that came in the mail.
Is everything okay?
Do you need some help?
No. I don't need help.
Now,
why would he say that, anyway?
I've been writing
the bills for years.
I handle that just fine.
[exhaling heavily]
Well, look who the cat drug in.
Hello. You're late.
Thought you were
supposed to be here at 1:00.
I missed my connecting flight
in Denver.
I had to catch a later one.
Oh, that's right. I forgot.
Portland is not only far away,
it's also inconvenient.
[scoffing] Very funny, Mom.
Portland's cool.
Surgery went well.
He's a tough guy for his age,
but he's gonna be
in recovery for a while.
Okay. Thank you so much.
So, guess I'll be
staying for a while.
[gentle, upbeat music]
I'll tell you what,
your granddad's gonna be
glad to see you.
-Yeah.
-I'm so glad to see you.
Yeah, he's gonna be all right.
Oh, yeah.
Basically, you'll work
with the company or team,
and you might not
necessarily be paid,
but it's--
it's a really good way
to get your foot in the door.
[keyboard clicking]
You still working?
Seems like you've
been in the office
or in front of this computer
the whole time I've been here.
Absolutely unrelenting.
How's Pop?
[Eric] Oh, pretty happy.
He's getting released this week
with a home healthcare worker
assigned to take care
of his personal care
until he recovers fully.
Ha! [snorts]
Don't worry. I'll meet
with the worker and Pop,
and I'll make sure it all works.
-Mm-hmm.
-[notification pings]
God-- Damn it!
This stupid thing
keeps popping up
and interrupting me all night.
-Can't get rid of it.
-[Eric] What is it?
Some dumb dating website
called Time of Your Life.
Have you ever heard of that?
Uh, yeah.
I signed you up for it.
[Sara] I'm sorry, what?
I signed you up.
It is a dating service
for singles over 50.
Okay, well,
please unsign me now,
because I certainly
don't need online dating
or-- or hooking up online. Bleh!
With my luck, I'd probably
match with Hannibal Lecter,
or worse yet, your father.
Take a look at it.
I don't wanna take a look at it,
I don't need to take a look
at it, I don't have the time
to take a look at it.
Please unsign me.
[sighs]
Sorry.
That's all it took?
I really think you need
more balance in your life.
[laughing] I need more balance?
That's hilarious.
What about you, my friend?
Have you found a job yet?
Oh! Nice counterpunch, Mom.
I actually thought
if you had a personal life,
you'd be less concerned
about mine.
Now, I've been taking care
of my business,
and I've been
making good contacts.
Yeah, but you get more hits on
the East Coast
than you do on the Northwest.
Well, maybe.
But I ain't telling.
Fine. Truce.
Okay, love, you have been
absolutely indispensable here,
and-- and I am grateful for you.
Well,
I'm glad to help when I can.
But now that Pop
is going home, so am I.
Fair.
[notification pings]
Who thought that picture
was a good idea?
Oh, too young.
[Jake] Wow, Trojan's trying
to replace the entire board.
-You called that one.
-Yeah.
Oh, look, it's attacking
the research expenses.
-You nailed that one too.
-[cell phone ringing]
Oh! Go.
Hey, John.
Yeah, we're sitting here
-reading it right now.
-[phone beeps]
I am absolutely available.
Yes,
just have Donald let me know
-when the board wants a call.
-[phone beeps]
I think that you and I should
definitely speak in advance.
Okay, thank you very much.
Uh, your mom's on the line.
My mother's on the line?
Hey, Ma.
[hearing aid squealing]
Dad, are you hurt?
[Joe] Yeah, I'm hurt.
-[Sara] Where?
-Uh, back of my head.
Mm-hmm.
Why didn't you let Mom call 911?
No, no, I don't want the EMTs in
here seeing me covered in piss.
Oh, for God's sakes,
I'm sure they have seen worse.
-Not on me.
-[Sara] God.
Okay, maybe Gabrielle and I
can change your pants.
Do you think that you can
lift your butt up enough
for us to pull 'em down?
Yeah, I think so. But...
I'm not wearing any underwear.
Huh. Well, that's not
surprising, but kind of weird.
Okay, Mom,
hand me your hearing aid
and go get his blanket.
Gabrielle, can you
get around to the other side?
Sorry, Dad.
And, uh-- and maybe get your...
hands inside his waistband.
Okay. Ouch, my knee.
Mom, Mom,
I need the blanket, please.
Mom, any day now.
Okay, there we go.
Don't wanna scar Gabrielle
for life, do we, Dad?
No. No, no.
I'm sure Mom hasn't
seen it in a while either.
Now, on three,
you're gonna lift your butt,
and Gabrielle and I are gonna--
I can't believe
I'm saying this--
pull down your pants.
-Okay?
-Okay. I think I can--
But-- but, honey,
I'm not wearing any underwear.
[Sara] No, I know. Shut up.
You've already said that.
-Here we go. You ready?
-Oh, okay.
Okay, one, two, three.
[Joe groaning] Come on!
Such a drama queen, Dad.
[Joe grunting]
[Sara] All right. Okay.
-Okay. You all right?
-[Joe sighs] Okay.
[Sara] Okay, Mom, go get
a fresh pair of sweatpants.
Please, you call 911
like we should've done
in the first place, and then
we can reverse the process
-when you get back. Dad?
-[Joe] Huh?
Just relax, okay?
I have to change a battery
and make a phone call.
-[Joe] Okay.
-You got this.
[Joe groans]
Oh, g*dd*mn it.
[Sara] So I just
talked to the ER doctor.
They don't think you're hurt,
but your blood pressure
is up again, so they wanna
keep you overnight.
Okey-doke?
Well,
whatever the doctor ordered.
Well, he did.
So what happened this time, Dad?
What do you mean, "this time"?
It's not exactly your maiden
voyage with the chair. Come on.
[toilet flushing]
[Joe] It was not
my fault this time.
Just listen!
[Joe grunts]
[gentle music]
Kay!
[Sara] Okay, so what was with
the plastic on the chair?
Your mother wanted
to keep it clean.
-Good God.
-Yeah.
How long were you
on the floor, Dad?
-Five hours.
-What?
Yeah. Yeah,
I called your mother,
but she had already taken
her hearing aid out,
so I had to lay there until
Gabrielle came in this morning.
-Yeah.
-Okay.
[TV announcer] ...have jumped
to the Department of Defense
before even
hearing the evidence.
They care only
about taking g*ns...
[Eric] Hey.
-[Kay gasps]
-[Eric laughs]
Oh, my gosh! Eric!
[TV turns off]
Oh, honey,
what are you doing here?
Oh, give me a kiss.
Joe!
[Joe laughs]
What are you doing here?
Sara never told us
you were coming.
No, 'cause I needed him for
moral and tactical support.
What-- what moral support?
To try and convince you guys
to move to Pleasantville Manor.
Hell no.
No, Sara,
we're-- we're not going.
We have told you before,
we are not leaving.
Yes. You did, Dad.
Okay, but that was then,
this is now.
Things have changed, guys.
Nothing has changed.
We wanna stay!
Yes, things have changed, okay?
Other things have changed.
You are falling more and more,
and I can't--
Mom is no help at nighttime.
Gabrielle is only here
for a few hours a day,
and I feel responsible.
I'm the only one here.
I gotta stop you from
k*lling yourself accidentally.
Listen, guys, I visited
the place. It's amazing.
Big apartment,
dinner every night,
housekeeping services,
gardens, music.
They even have birds.
I could easily live there.
Well, maybe
you should move back there.
[Kay] But, Sara,
we don't wanna leave here.
Let's at least
look at the place.
[Kay scoffs]
[Joe sighs]
[TV announcer] ...the senator
has obtained information from
confidential sources that
challenges the accuracy of...
And with the TV again.
[TV announcer]
...reports showing declines
in annual homicide rates
in those states
with restrictive
g*n ownership laws.
Charging bias against
g*n owners
among department officials...
[gentle piano music]
[belches]
We're back again.
Um, you need to sign in.
Oh, it's a bird.
-[bird squawks]
-Okay.
-[Joe] Hey, hey, hey!
-What are you doing?
What do you think of Speedy?
Did you steal that, Dad?
No! What do you think
of Speedy, huh?
My new electric chair.
You know, at first I didn't
think it was gonna work.
But now, you know,
I'm telling you,
this is perfect
for patrolling the halls.
-Just perfect.
-I'm so happy for you.
-Oh, good!
-You're kind of a menace,
you know that? Continue
on your little test drive,
and we'll just move
everything in for you.
[Joe] Yeah, good, good, good.
Do you know what
you're even doing?
[Joe] Yeah, I'm fine. Could
you hurry it up a little bit?
I gotta get down this hall, I
got a patrol to do to the right.
Why don't you carry this for me?
-It's good for you to get--
-Little help?
-No, it's fine.
-Put down your beer.
I'm not-- Ha! When did you
ever see me put down a beer?
-Go. Just go.
-Yeah.
[cell phone ringing]
Hey, Jake, what's up?
[sighs] Okay, um, meet me
in the office in 30 minutes.
All right, thank you.
-[Joe] You're leaving?
-Yeah, I have an emergency.
An emergency? What emergency?
You're a lawyer,
not a first responder.
And-- and your mother
can't handle all this.
-Yes, I can!
-[Joe] No, you can't.
-Oh, Joe.
-Mom, listen,
I know that you can, okay,
but I will be back
to help finish up, all right?
You just go and relax.
It's a lot to do.
Oh, damn it,
I forgot to pay the movers.
I'll meet them downstairs.
[tense music]
Uh, gentlemen,
please excuse my appearance.
Oh, don't worry, Sara,
I don't care about that.
I just want some advice
about what I can and can't do
with our shareholders.
Uh, okay, well,
we sent Donald, uh, an email
outlining all
of the do's and the don'ts.
You did send that, correct?
Yeah, I did.
It's here in my email. Yeah.
I don't recall seeing it.
Perhaps my spam filter
screened it.
Jake, send that again.
I'll circulate it.
Well, that's fine,
but I need to know now.
I've heard one
of our largest shareholders
might be inclined
to support Trojan.
Okay, so what exactly
is it that you want to do?
Persuade them not to.
I'm convinced I can,
if I can speak
with them directly. Can I?
[Sara] No, I advise you not to.
But, John, if you do,
you must be very, very careful.
If you disclose
any insider information,
not only could you
jeopardize the company,
but you could
put yourself in hot water.
So do not speak to them alone,
and don't disclose
any information
that the other
shareholders don't have.
Okay, okay. I got it.
Let's go, Donald.
Thank you.
[John] Okay, thank you, Sara!
[Sara] Wow. What a douchebag.
Spam filter, my a*s.
What is that guy's problem?
He's disliked me
from the beginning.
Look at this email,
this last one that he sent me.
-Why all caps?
-I have no idea.
And every single one that
he has sent me, I don't know,
in the last couple days,
have been in caps,
and he CCs Masters
every single time.
You know, Sara, I could've
handled this meeting myself.
[Sara] Yes, I know
that you think you could,
but, uh, I really did
have to be here.
Besides,
the move is almost finished,
and it'll be much more
smooth sailing from here on out.
Okay.
All right.
Your books good here, Dad?
-Looks great, hon, thanks.
-Okay.
[sighs] Well, I guess I'll
have to do my own medicine now.
Yeah, well,
now that you're living here,
your insurance
doesn't cover Gabrielle.
You know, it's nice to be
finally getting squared away.
Okay, but listen.
Now you have a whole
emergency response team.
Ah.
-You know how to work that?
-Yeah, I push it, they come.
[gasps]
You did not just push that.
Yeah, I wanted to see
if they'd come.
[Sara] Oh, my God!
-Dad, why--
-What?
I have to cancel this. Please,
please, please, please, please.
-[dialing]
-[knocking at door]
-What?
-I'm gonna k*ll you!
Wha--
[man] Hello,
everything okay in there?
[Sara] Hi, I'm so sorry.
Um, my dad accidentally
pushed the button.
It will never happen again,
I promise you.
We're all good. Okay, thank you.
[door closes]
Okay, Dad,
you cannot do that again.
They're gonna think that you're
the little boy who cried wolf.
Yeah,
but not a bad response time.
[sighs] Okay, listen, I...
-Mm-hmm?
-Where's Mom?
I need you guys
to look at some paperwork.
Oh, she's napping.
Just-- just talk to me. Yeah.
[sighs] Okay. It is the listing
agreement for the house.
Okay,
and who set the sale price?
Uh, the real estate agent did.
It's based on the comparable
houses in the neighborhood.
Take a look at the appraisal.
But there aren't any more
comparables in the neighborhood.
-Yes, there are.
-No, they're not.
I put a new roof on. I put a
new front door, a water heater.
Dad, that was 20 years ago.
Please, please, please
listen to the advice
of the real estate agent.
Yeah, she probably just wants a
fast sale for a fast commission.
Dad, you hired her.
She's your friend.
And listen, a fast sale
is a really good thing, Dad.
All right, I'll sign it,
but I-- I want your mother
to read it first.
-Of course you do.
-Oh, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Please don't forget that I have
my doctor's appointment tomorrow
with your old boyfriend.
[laughs]
[Sara] Not my old boyfriend.
Yeah, you keep telling
yourself that. [snickers]
-I'll be right there, Dad.
-[Joe] All right.
[Sara grunts] Okay.
Okay.
-Got my arm.
-Got it.
Got it? Watch your feet.
Watch your legs.
Okay. Make sure your butt
can make it in there.
-It's awfully narrow.
-[Joe grunts]
-Right foot.
-Right foot.
-Left foot.
-Left foot.
All right.
You're a professional at this.
Okay, here we go.
I'm exhausted already.
Okay.
-[Sara grunts]
-I hope this doesn't take long.
I got a really busy day.
-Oh, yeah, you too?
-Yeah.
How much weight
have you put on, Dad?
Oh! Are you kidding me?
-Wha--
-Hold on.
[grunts]
I'm gonna lock you for a second.
-Ah! I can't believe--
-What--
These are
my favorite shoes, man.
Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on.
[sighs]
Shouldn't buy cheap shoes, Sara.
Shouldn't buy cheap shoes.
Oh, jeez, sorry. Oh, God.
[grunts] Okay.
[grunts]
Dad, you gotta
lay off those mints, man.
[panting] Okay. Okay.
I got this.
-[wheels thump]
-Jesus Christ, Sara!
-My God!
-I'm sorry!
God!
What kind of place has
a stupid ramp like this?
I didn't see your...
-[Joe exclaims]
-[sighs] Stop being a baby.
Are you kidding?
There's no electric doors?
I'm gonna sue this place.
Ah, I'd never sue Doc McDonald.
And not only is he my doctor,
he's my friend.
[sighs] That's nice.
With friends like this,
who needs enemies?
Oh, God, help me.
Okay. Okay, I got it.
Hold the door, please.
Do something.
-Got it, got it.
-[Sara grunts]
-Come on. Come on, Sara.
-Okay. One last pull.
-Come on, Sar-- No, Sara!
-[Sara grunts]
[Joe exhales]
-Okay, Joe. Come on.
-[Joe grunts]
-Not bad for an old guy, huh?
-Absolutely.
But I still have
some questions for you.
Okay, all right.
I'll tell you what.
First, let's take
a few more vital checks.
I haven't seen you since
you got out of the hospital.
Okey-doke.
Oh! [chuckles] Don't ask.
Okay.
Nice to see you again, Sara.
Uh, how'd you make out
after Joe's surgery?
Uh, we coped. You know,
my son came over from Portland
to help out while I was at work.
Great, great.
And you're a lawyer, right?
-Uh, yes, I am.
-And what kind of law
-do you practice?
-Well, promise not to yawn.
I am in corporate mergers
and acquisitions.
Okay. Wow. I'm not yawning.
That's impressive.
All right, Joe. I'm gonna
listen to your heart here.
And now your lungs.
Just breathe deeply.
[Joe exhales]
You okay, Sara?
Yeah, absolutely.
Just a little bit of a headache.
Okay. I'll tell you what.
Let's take your blood pressure.
You look a little flushed.
-[Sara] Oh, it's not necessary.
-No, let's do that.
[gentle music]
Well...
your reading is off the charts.
Whatever you're taking
to manage your blood pressure
is not working.
Well,
I-- I'm not taking anything.
I don't have
blood pressure issues.
Well, I don't wanna alarm you,
but you do now.
And it's-- Those numbers
are high enough where
if they continue,
they could cause an aneurysm.
How long have you been
having headaches?
Uh, recently. Not long.
Just a few months.
But, you know,
my job is very stressful.
I really should
start exercising again.
I just don't have time.
[chuckles]
Well, that can't hurt.
But I'll tell you what,
at those numbers,
you-- you need medication.
Uh, Doc,
what about my blood pressure?
You are stable, Joe.
So you're good.
You're good. Let's take care
of Sara here, huh?
Can't you just give her the same
medication you're giving me?
[Michael] No, I think she might
need something stronger.
Uh, Sara, unless you prefer
to see your own doctor, um...
I could prescribe you something.
Uh, no, that would be great.
I'd appreciate it.
Don't, uh--
I don't have my own doctor.
Okay, yeah. That'll work out.
Uh, Doc, if you don't mind,
I still do have
a few questions for you.
Okay. Fire away.
All right, number one.
[line ringing]
-[Jake] Hey, Sara.
-[Sara] Hey, Jake.
Uh, John just texted me
and asked if we could talk.
So can you patch him through to,
uh, this call, please?
[John] Sure. Just hold on.
[Sara grunts]
[John] Sara,
did you see the f*cking lies
in Trojan's
so-called white paper,
criticizing our
third-quarter performance,
attacking the board
for not cutting costs?
I'd like to cut something else:
Trojan's ba*ls!
We need to respond, and fast.
Uh, well, we are ready, John.
Listen, Jake, please have
Chip at the PR firm send out
our press release today
and schedule a meeting with him
for the day after
tomorrow at 1:00.
John, if you can be there...
[John] I can. What a f*cking way
to start the holiday season.
-b*stards!
-[line clicks]
Goodbye to you too.
Oh, hi!
-[bird chirps]
-[Sara gasps] Look who it is!
Hi, Jitterbug.
You give me a kiss?
Give me kiss?
Oh, thank you.
It's good to see you.
-Good to see you.
-Thank you so much.
Bye, Jitterbug.
-Say bye!
-[Sara chuckling]
[grunts]
Hello, hello. I'm here.
-Hey, babe.
-[Kay] Hi.
Hey, Ma.
How you doing, Dad?
You settling back in okay?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Uh, your mother's writing
our Christmas cards.
Yeah, she's putting a note
in each one of them.
It's gonna take her forever.
Hey, you think you could help?
What, write the notes?
No, I can't do that.
How about the change of address
in these stickers?
I mean--
I mean, she can't do that.
It'll take her forever
to do it.
Uh, I suppose I could
ask Terry to help out.
Look, Dad, I got you
a new pair of slippers.
This way there's not
another slip and fall.
-Great, thanks.
-You're welcome.
Um, hey, Kay,
could you put away, uh,
the, uh, undies
over there for me?
Put 'em away? Thank you.
Dad, the point
is to put them on.
No, I-- don't worry. Here, have
a seat. I got something for you.
[Sara] God help me.
-Here you are.
-What's this?
These are new
funeral instructions?
Yeah. Yeah, I-- I still want
the police escort, but I, um--
you know, I-- I don't want
the flag-draped coffin.
I'm not proud of the service
of my country anymore.
I don't know how
an 80-year-old man
can get so worked up
over the news.
You tell me.
Why?
I don't know. Ameriflag?
I'm just guessing.
Look,
all this ill*gal immigration.
I mean, the people running
all over the place.
Nobody knows what's going on.
Committing crimes.
Dad! Dad! "They," Dad?
I cannot believe
that you're saying this.
-You like Gabrielle, right?
-Yeah.
You know her parents
are from Guatemala?
-Your parents were immigrants.
-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
-but that was different.
-No.
They spoke American
like everyone else.
"American." Dad!
You mean English?
That foreign language?
Just cancel your cable
subscription
-and save us all some headache.
-Oh-h*, that's funny.
Funny, funny, funny.
[Sara] Hello, all. Here we are.
Good morning, gentlemen.
-Yeah, Sara.
-Good to see you, John.
-How are you?
-Chip.
-Good to see you.
-How are you?
-Sara.
-Thanks so much. Yes?
Chip was just giving us his take
on the market's reaction
to Trojan's white paper
and our press release.
Well, that's great.
Chip happens to be
one of the very best
in the PR field.
Yeah, I think we neutralized
the white paper in the market.
But don't we want it
to favor us?
Ah, listen, John.
The markets aren't
going to choose sides yet.
The fact that Trojan's
first play didn't work
is about as good
as it can get now.
Okay.
But let's go on the offensive.
Let's call out Trojan.
Too many companies have ended up
in bankruptcy, for God's sake.
John's right. Our shareholders,
especially those
who are employees,
should know how miserable
Trojan's track record is.
Well,
the dangers that Trojan poses
are definitely
a very real thing, Donald.
But I am just wondering
if it might be a better idea
to perhaps focus and promote the
positive visions of the board.
Of course, that is
a business decision that,
-John, you would have to make.
-[cell phone buzzing]
I agree with Sara.
Okay. Okay.
For now,
let's keep our powder dry.
[buzzing continues]
Uh, okay, great.
Well, um, if that is all,
I really do need to run.
Thank you, uh, all.
It was good to see you
again, Chip. Indeed.
Dad?
Well, emergency.
Did you call 911?
[TV announcer]
In order to protect
and preserve Second
Amendment...
[Sara] Okay, I am here.
I'm here.
What? What is so urgent?
So far today, I've had six calls
from friends asking me
how I'm feeling.
They think I have cancer.
What? Why would they think that?
Ask your mother.
She wrote it in
all the Christmas cards.
What? Mom, you-- you did what?
[sighs]
I don't remember, okay?
Okay, you don't remember telling
people that Dad had cancer?
No. He was in the hospital
all that time.
He had to be sick.
All that time he was in!
Okay. Um...
Here's Ralph's card.
Look. Right there.
-Uh--
-Right there.
Go ahead.
"Merry Christmas.
Joe has cancer.
I hope your holidays
are wonderful." Okay. Okay.
Mom?
Listen, Dad went to
the hospital because he fell
and he had to have surgery,
not because he has cancer. Okay?
You know... now I'm not so sure.
I mean, your mother's
telling everybody I have cancer.
Maybe you're hiding it from me.
Dad, I am not hiding
anything from you.
Mom just-- She forgot.
Okay? Or-- or didn't
hear things correctly.
Ha. Well, whether she forgot
or didn't hear it correctly,
she's still telling people
I have cancer.
I wanna talk to Dr. McDonald
so I can get the truth.
Well, okay.
Let's get that truth.
Gonna go back to work now.
[TV announcer] Unsurprisingly,
g*n control advocates...
[uptempo music]
[Joe grunts]
You know, we're getting
pretty good at this.
[grunts, sighs]
-Feet.
-Feet.
I'm gonna take you
up backwards this time.
-Okay?
-Okey-doke.
All right, Joe. Up you go.
Now, look, I don't even
have to examine you.
Oh.
Look, there's nothing in
your history that suggests
you have cancer,
and that's certainly not
why you were in the hospital.
Are you being honest
with me, Doc?
Completely. Hey, listen,
I'll even show you
your discharge papers.
Make you feel better.
-Yeah, thanks.
-All right?
Sara, how about you?
Uh, good.
No more throbbing headaches.
[Michael] Good. Great. Are you
taking the pills I prescribed?
[Sara] Uh, religiously.
[Michael] Well,
if that's the case,
your blood pressure's
still high.
-We may need to up the dose.
-Okay.
And if that doesn't work,
we may need some tests.
[Sara chuckles] Oh. Well...
I mean, I may have fibbed
a little bit there.
You know, when I said
"religiously," I meant, uh...
You know this is serious, right?
I know. I do. I promise that
I will be more conscientious.
I will. I know I have to.
Okay. Well, I'll take you
at your word this time.
Hey, let me ask you, um,
would you be able to meet me
just briefly about
a legal matter sometime?
Uh, yeah. I'll-- I'll see
if I can find some time.
Weekdays are not good.
Weekends are even worse, so...
I-- Well, um, yeah, maybe.
Okay. Whatever's convenient.
Joe, you satisfied?
Yeah. You know,
I-- I just can't believe
-Kay put me through all this.
-I hear you.
But, you know, Doc,
as long as I'm here,
I do have
a few questions for you.
-Okay. Okay. Lay it on me.
-Hang on.
Just a list of things
that he made up.
-Okay.
-Okay, here we go.
-Well, better safe than sorry.
-All right.
[soft music]
Thanks for suggesting
we take a walk.
I don't remember the last time
I've been outside.
And I don't remember
the last time
I've seen you in
civilian clothes.
It's been a long time since
I've seen you without
my white coat.
Has it been since high school?
I have no idea.
I don't think I remember
high school or college,
to be perfectly honest.
Was it Alzheimer's
or a busy schedule?
A combination of both.
Listen, work is really
demanding, but I think
it's more my mom and dad
than anything.
Yeah.
No, I can only imagine.
Your father is one of a kind.
To whom you bet.
And, you know, Sarah,
I'm sure it's difficult now,
but you're not going to have
any regrets when we're gone.
Yeah, probably not.
But that presupposes
that I'm going to outlive them
some day, did I wonder?
Well, it's all
the more reason to get
your blood pressure
under control.
Yeah, I know you're right,
but it's just hard to admit
that I have health issues,
you know?
-It just makes me feel...
-Vulnerable?
Yeah. [chuckling]
Okay, I guess.
Ah! Well, it's all the more
reason to, you know...
-Yeah.
-Well, look,
I didn't invite you here
to give you a lecture.
Um, the reason I did is my wife
died about a year ago,
and I need an attorney to look
at her estate and answer
some questions,
and I thought maybe you could
recommend somebody.
Yeah, well, I'm sorry to hear
about your wife.
-Thanks.
-Um...
I didn't know.
How long were you guys together?
-35 years.
-Wow.
-Yeah, 35 good years.
-Yeah.
-That's, wow, 35 years.
-Huh.
That's the exact opposite
of my marriage.
It was brief but bad.
[laughing]
Wow, well, I'm sorry.
Well, it is what it is.
So, I do have a colleague
who is an excellent
estate attorney that
I could give a call to today
and let him know that
you're going to be in touch.
That would be fantastic, yeah.
Appreciate it.
-You bet.
-Should we walk?
Sure.
Oh, Eric, my love,
I wish you could say things
are going smoother since
the move, but they aren't.
I have to take over
the finances because Mom can't
keep up, no surprise there,
and Dad likes to push
the emergency button
because he thinks it's fun.
Yeah.
At least I should be grateful
that he hasn't actually
k*lled himself yet.
Yeah, that's very funny,
love, but moving them to Florida
with Sissy is an
absolute non-starter.
No one can take care
of them like I do.
-[phone tone]
-Uh, all right, babe,
listen, I gotta go.
I will check in with you
in a few days, okay?
Uh, okay.
I love you, babe. Bye.
Hello, Doctor?
[Michael] Sarah, hey,
please dump the doctor stuff,
all right?
Listen, I'm sure
you're sure on time,
but I want to thank you
so much for introducing me
to your partner.
He was a huge help.
Oh, good.
I'm glad that he was a big help.
That's wonderful.
You're welcome.
[Michael] I'm wondering if,
as a thank you,
I can take you
to the Sharks game on Sunday.
I remember you loved
the Sharks,
even in high school.
Thought you might enjoy
seeing the game with me.
They're having a great season.
I have terrific seats.
The weather's
gonna be beautiful.
Uh, um, listen, I--
I really appreciate the invite,
but, um, I'm gonna
have to say no.
I mean, you know that
I love the Sharks.
But I really have
a lot of work this weekend,
so I'm not,
I'm gonna have to say no.
[Michael] All right,
I'll tell you what, um,
you have my number now,
so if you get free,
just let me know.
Uh, I will do. Okay,
thanks very much. Bye.
What's up?
So I'm summarizing what
the board approved on the call
this morning and outlining
next steps for you
to review over the weekend.
This weekend?
I heard the doctor asked you
to the Sharks game Sunday.
Sarah, you should go.
Uh, no, I can't do that.
I have-- I have
a lot of work to do.
No, you should go.
You're like a huge fan.
Definitely go.
I can handle anything
that happens during the game.
Uh, I-- I don't know.
I don't know.
Oh, it's only a few hours.
You deserve a break, and the
doctor seems really nice.
Okay, uh, Jake, if anything
happens, you promise me
that you will get in touch
with me immediately, right?
Of course.
Okay, maybe I will.
No, I'm-- maybe.
You know what?
Just leave me alone.
Oh, Sarah, I almost forgot.
The real estate agent called.
She has an offer on
your parents' house.
-Oh.
-The asking price, I think.
Well, that is good news.
No, seriously, leave me alone.
[all] Sharks by land!
Sharks by sea!
Sharks lead us to victory!
-[cheering]
-Whoo!
[man] Good to see you.
Oh, thank you.
So this is Sarah.
-Hi. How are you?
-The famous Sarah.
-Hi. Nice to meet you.
-This clown over here
-is Bernie Sanders.
-How are you?
-Hi, Bernie.
-Hi. The Sarah?
-This is the Sarah.
-Oh, this Sarah.
I've been talked about before.
[Michael] I love the hat.
-Looks good, man.
-Oh, thanks, yeah.
It's-it's breathable.
Just ignore him, okay?
Pretend you're not with him.
[Sarah] Okay. I've no-no--
I mean, I don't
want to ignore you.
-Oh, my bad, my bad.
-Ridiculous, isn't it?
[Bernie] Oh, come on.
Well, then, here.
This is-this is my whole face.
-Thanks.
-He's always there for me.
Hey, did I mention
he's my partner?
That's awesome. Yes, you did.
-Some drinks, maybe?
-This is great.
-Drinks.
-Look at this people!
-Drinks. Drinks.
-Drinks, man.
-What are we drinking?
-Let's do it.
Okay, get me the dial-in
number for that,
and I can be on the call
in ten minutes.
Thank you, Jake.
Uh, I am so sorry, Michael.
It's work, and, um,
I would invite you in,
but I just--
It's gonna be a while.
No, you warned me.
At least it didn't
intrude during the game.
This, too.
Um, I can't thank you enough
for, um, a really good day.
I don't know when
the last time was that I had
such a-- such a fun time, so...
-Yeah, me neither.
-Okay.
-And we won.
-Yes, yes, we did.
Yeah. Hey, it's a shame
the playoff game is
-out of town next week, but...
-Is it?
How about if we go
to a concert next weekend?
You pick the show.
Oh, man. I don't--
I don't know about that.
Uh, I've got a really busy
work week,
a big important meeting,
and, you know, stuff to do
with my mom and dad's house,
but, um,
yeah, I'll see if I can get some
time off maybe next weekend.
-I'll let you know. Okay?
-All right, cool.
-Sounds good.
-All right, um...
How did you know that a concert
is pretty much the only thing
other than a football game
that would tempt me?
Well, unlike you, I have an
exceptional long-term memory.
-Do you?
-Yeah.
-I'll remember that.
-Please do.
-All right. Thank you.
-Talk soon.
-Bye.
-Bye.
[driving music]
Sarah, we are on offense now.
We just need to keep up
the momentum
on our drive
to the goal line.
I have to get to another
meeting, but I want you to know
how much your advice
has meant to me, personally.
As you might imagine,
it's taken a huge effort for me
to get to this position.
Thank you.
Miss Jones? I'd like to have
a word with you in my office.
Uh, yes, I think I have
some time if I need to leave.
Jake, do you want to stay
or take off?
Actually, Sarah, I have
an appointment this afternoon.
Um, I'll catch up with you
at the office later.
Okay. Just sh**t me
a text when you're free.
One of my jobs is to review
bills from law firms before
we pay them to make sure
they're reasonable.
When I looked at yours,
I was utterly shocked.
You've got four lawyers
working on this engagement.
Frankie, you've completely
overstaffed it.
You and Jakey boy
should be doing more
of the work yourselves.
Well, have you actually looked
at the hours Jake and I are
putting in?
I have, and I think
you can do more
on the drive
to the goal line.
You're familiar with American
football terms, I presume?
As a matter of fact, I am.
But to be perfectly honest,
Jake and I are working
at full capacity.
-Really?
-Yes.
No time off the clock at all?
Well, I will see
what we can do,
but I won't put the future
of the company in jeopardy.
Again, really?
Perhaps you should have
considered that
before we hired you.
Hey, Ma, how long
has he been asleep?
What did you say?
I said, how long
has he been sleeping?
Oh, uh, not long.
We just got back
from the dining room.
Okay.
Hey, Dad.
-Dad?
-Yeah?
-Hi, sorry to wake you.
-That's okay. What? What?
I just want to talk to you
and Mom about the offer
that we got on the house.
Well, what about it?
Well, it's great.
We have an offer at lift price.
Well, we should have asked
for a higher price.
We should have asked
for more money.
Look, we can't do that.
We can't ask the buyers
to give us more money
unless we had a higher
counteroffer, which we don't.
Couldn't we wait for one?
Okay, but, Dad,
that may never materialize,
and in the meantime,
we could lose this offer.
Also, in the meantime,
you would be paying property
taxes and insurance, water,
electricity, while we waited.
Joe, I think
we should listen to Sarah.
You can hear her?
Yes, I can hear her.
Okay. Fine.
-[sighing]
-Thanks, Mom.
Okay. I will leave this here
for you guys to peruse.
[indistinct], hon?
Are you good?
Dad? Dad?
Damn candies.
Are you ready?
Oh, geez.
-I get it?
-Yeah!
-Yeah, yeah.
-Oh, dear God.
Damn candies.
On the rug again, Joe.
-Oh, my God.
-Look at this.
Oh, my back.
Oh. [exhaling]
With the exception of the
north side, total infestation.
Oh, my God.
Okay, well, what do we do?
Well, let's take a look.
Oh.
[laughing]
Okay. Is it that bad
around the entire house?
[exterminator] Pretty much.
But the most interesting
thing about this infestation,
these are not your
regular run-of-the-mill
subterranean termites. Oh, no.
We have the Formosan variety.
Look at that little guy.
Uh-huh. And if you're a fan
of the old SNL skits like I am,
we have your conehead variety.
Coneheads, co--
Remember the coneheads?
-Well, thank you. We're gonna...
-Yeah, just...
-Where did you find him?
-I don't know.
Okay.
All right. Did you get
an estimate for that?
-40 grand.
-What?
-Including his work.
-Him?
Oh, my God. I cannot believe
I'm gonna say this,
but I guess my father was right.
There probably isn't
a comparable house
in the neighborhood.
Great. All right, um...
I guess I'm...
I'll go ahead and sign and...
and just pay it.
Look, you know you can be repaid
from the sale proceeds.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
My father already thinks
that the listing was
too low as it is.
I'll never hear the end
of it if it was any less.
-Really?
-Yes.
Because I've known Joe 30 years.
He always seemed like
a reasonable man.
That's probably
because I wasn't involved.
I never seemed to do
anything right with him.
Funny.
He always brags about you.
Mm.
Okay.
I got to tell you, he's weird.
I know.
What did the chiropractor say?
[sighing] Sciatica.
Says that I have to do
physical therapy, of course,
like I have that time.
-Sarah.
-Hmm?
I can do more,
especially while you deal
with your back
and blood pressure.
No, you have enough work
of your own plus the work that
we're giving to our associates.
Oh, my gosh.
You know another thing?
Decker called me out on
the fact that I said
that you and I were
working to capacity.
I'm telling you,
he saw me at the stadium.
I really shouldn't go
to this concert with Michael,
but I refuse to believe that
Donald has a musical bone
in his creepy, creepy body.
-[rock music playing]
-[singer] Come on, baby!
[indistinct]
They got no time for me
Livin' in the city
Livin' on the bad streets
Sleeping in a balcony
They don't know
we've been doing
They don't know...
what we believe
We're getting down
here with the people
-This is great!
-Yeah, this is great, yeah?
Oh, my God,
there is Decker again.
What?
Decker, the creep
who keeps trying
to undermine me
at the company.
He's right there.
-Where?
-And he's gone again.
Are you kidding?
[indistinct lyrics]
Wow, okay, I am gonna claim
that you kidnapped me
and held me for ransom,
and that's why
I had to come here.
Guilty as charged.
-Works for me.
-All right.
-Cheers.
-They're amazing!
- Me and little Anthony
-Where do we live?
We live in South Philly
We're livin' with Marie
[both laughing]
How about that last song
I made before?
Oh, it made it so worthwhile.
Let me tell you,
it was exhilarating.
Although, I gotta say,
the Decker sighting certainly
made things kind of awkward
and like a buzzkill, you know?
Yeah, well, I think this show
still deserves a toast, huh?
You don't think
he's tailing me, do you?
That or maybe
he has a mole planted.
Awful.
That's not funny at all.
A toast?
Is that what you said?
I'm so sorry I interrupted you.
Yes, I think
I could use a drink.
-Great.
-I'll get us some bubbly.
-Do you think that's okay?
-Perfect. I would love that.
Okay, let me do that.
[soft music]
-Oh!
-Hey!
-So, you found the fireplace.
-Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, uh,
it's not the finest bubbly.
It's just what
I had in the fridge.
Good. You never turn down
a glass of champagne.
[both chuckling]
-Yeah.
-I hope you don't mind.
I just, it's a little hot
with that fireplace, so...
Well, you know,
if you're planning on putting
that back on when you leave...
Ah, well, not necessarily.
It might tempt me
to take off even more.
Oh!
I guess I should be careful.
You be.
Um, I'm so sorry.
I should have poured that
in the kitchen.
No, all good.
-Perfect.
-Oh, sorry.
-I had to get helped out.
-It's okay. No.
No worries.
Thanks for your help.
-That's good.
-Okay, great.
I get the best kind
of drunk on champagne.
Good to know.
Hey,
here's to live music and us.
Right?
Okay.
Live music.
Sounds good.
And your place is great.
Beautiful.
Thank you. Yeah.
I'm really sorry, um...
I feel like I should
thank you for tonight.
Oh, please.
There's no need. Really.
I mean,
unless you really want to.
I guess.
Thank you.
Your welcome.
We're not going to get
in trouble or anything.
-No, I know.
-Our parents won't know.
That's funny.
You're cute.
I-- I'll call you.
[sighing]
-Sarah?
-Yeah?
I think you better
check out Business Network News.
Oh, my God.
"Anonymous sources claim
that Powerhouse CEO John Masters
"provided insider information
to select shareholders in order
"to gain support
for Powerhouse board."
That's great.
Just what I told him not to do.
Will you please get
Masters on the phone?
[phone ringing]
Oh. Speak of the devil.
I think that was definitely
the place to start.
-I think so, too.
-All right.
But, Sarah,
I convinced the board.
-But did I convince you?
-Yeah. John, you know what?
Listen, the accusations
are wildly distorted.
I also think that we might
want to possibly explore
the alternative game plan
that you and I had discussed.
Oh, sure.
Yes, yes. Yes, we can.
But first, I need you
to squelch these rumors.
Donald, I need you to confer
with Chip and arrange a meeting
with this PR firm
and get a retraction
from Business Network. Now.
Chip, I got
a quick question for you.
Can you walk with me, please?
Thank you, Sarah.
Tell me, Ms. Jones,
this alternative game plan,
was it inspired by
an alternative rock show
or American football game?
[pensive music]
Sarah,
do you have time to talk?
Yeah.
Sorry to startle you.
It's okay, it's okay.
Come on in.
Sit down.
What's up?
I want you to be the first
to know I've accepted an offer
from another firm to co-chair
its Mergers and Acquisitions
group.
What?
I wasn't looking to leave.
I've really liked working
with you these last eight years
and I've learned so much.
But Decker put this firm
in touch with me
and their offer is
too good to refuse.
Wait a minute.
You've accepted an offer
that Decker found for you?
Are you kidding me, Jake?
I-- How can you do this just
when I needed you the most?
Huh?
After all
I have done for you,
where's your loyalty,
for God's sakes?
-Loyalty?
-Yes.
I've been loyal for eight years.
I've done everything
you asked of me.
And in turn, you generously
promoted my development.
But once you were hired
by Powerhouse, you had to do
everything significant
by yourself.
You stopped being generous
even though I remained loyal.
Oh, did you?
And let me ask you this.
How is it that Decker knew
that I was going to a concert
and a football game, huh?
Was that just mere coincidence?
-Oh, here, let me help you. Sit.
-I'm okay.
Don't. You've helped.
You're finished helping.
You just go.
Just-- just-- go.
Okay, Sarah.
Have it your way.
Again.
Terry?
Terry, can you get my pillow
out of my bag, please?
Oh, here you go, Sarah.
There's one left.
Can you get my water,
too, please?
Thank you.
These needed to be refilled
two weeks ago.
Did you stop taking them?
What am I going to do?
What am I going to do
with him gone?
So, how'd the meeting go?
It went well. There
is a very likely opportunity
to speak with Trojan.
I can confirm tomorrow if that's
what you would like to do.
Should we?
Personally, I would,
but that is a business decision
that is not mine to make.
You have to get
the board to agree.
The board won't be a problem.
I'll get them to agree.
Then we'll arrange
a meeting with Trojan
at some godforsaken spot
so word of it doesn't leak out.
So who would you like to go?
You, me, and Decker.
Decker?
I hesitate to tell you this,
John, but I have to be honest.
I have felt from
the very beginning that
he has been trying
to sabotage me.
The last straw for me was
the fact that he got
my right-hand man, Jake,
a job at another firm.
I do not want him trying
to undermine what I arrange.
I'm surprised.
Decker's very loyal
to the company.
Why wouldn't he support you?
He--
You know, come to think of it,
Decker did want
the board to hire his wife
and her firm for your job.
Really? Well, for me,
that doesn't explain
all of the antagonism, just
because his wife wasn't hired.
Did I
say new young trophy wife?
Yeah.
[laughing]
-[soft music]
-[Sarah laughing]
[Michael] What did you say
you look like?
I didn't know who that was.
You don't know
what a Rembrandt is?
-No, what's a Rembrandt?
-Holy moly.
-By the way...
-I know, I'm such an innocent.
By the way, I have to go out
of town for work
the day after tomorrow.
And how long will you be gone?
A couple days.
And what will you be doing?
Oh, now see, if I told you
I would have to k*ll you,
it is a deep, dark,
confidential secret.
Hmm.
I'd like to do something deep
dark and secret right now.
-Would you?
-Yeah.
Like?
Well, I'd rather do it
than say it.
[phone ringing]
-I'm sorry.
-Yeah, yeah.
Hello?
Yes, this is Sarah Jones.
Okay.
Thank you.
I'll be right there.
Well, dad is in the ER again.
-What's the matter?
-I don't know.
One of his infamous
chair accidents,
I have no doubt.
His timing is always so bad,
but this could not be worse.
-What can I do?
-I have no idea.
I'm thinking,
think, think. Uh...
No, Eric cannot come home
because he just started work
with the Portland
Steamers today.
So, I don't know.
Um, I am so sorry.
Don't apologize. Look--
Here comes the plane, Dad.
-[imitating plane engine]
-Sara. Sara.
Ow.
Sara.
How long do we got
to be in here?
Uh, several days.
They're worried
about your heart, Daddy.
My heart? It's my shoulder
that's k*lling me.
It's because you fractured
your shoulder, Dad.
So, dish. What happened
this time to mangle you?
What do you mean, this time?
Come on, Dad.
You've had more falls
than a stuntman.
This is the third one that's
landed you in the hospital.
You know that.
I've been keeping count.
Not to mention the time
that you fell off the toilet
and you blocked it,
so we had to take the door off
in order to get to you.
I mean, I--
I'll go on,
but I don't think I have to.
My point is made.
So, what happened?
All right.
There I was.
-[vacuum whirring]
-Kay.
Kay! Kay!
[Kay] What?
Close the door.
I'm going on patrol.
-[upbeat music]
-[chair whirring]
Hello, love.
Not a bad job, huh?
[elevator opening and shutting]
Ah!
Ah, God damn it!
[panting]
[Sara] So, who do you think
was to blame?
The elevator or Speedy?
-Both.
-Oh.
And the response time
was terrible.
Was it? Where was
the seatbelt?
-It was there.
-Uh-huh.
Then, why'd you fall?
I wasn't wearing it.
Dad, I don't understand.
Do you have some kind
of secret death wish?
Listen,
I have to leave tomorrow
on a business trip
for two days.
Now, listen to me.
Michael has promised
to check in on you
and everything,
but I can't be here.
You have to be careful.
-Two days?
-Yes.
Well, how about
if something happens?
I mean, your mother
can't handle anything.
-I know, Dad.
-You're not going.
-You're not going.
-Dad, Dad, I can't not go, Dad.
Just relax, okay? Look at
your heart rate. Please, relax.
I will figure something out.
You're in good hands here.
Look, here she comes.
Please, get some rest.
Would you?
We'll dim the lights for him
when we're done here.
[Sara]
Okay, thank you.
I wouldn't mind
if you dimmed his lights.
-[nurse chuckling]
-You're not going.
[upbeat music]
[reporter] Violent crime
continues to rise
in Mexican towns
bordering Texas.
This is disgusting.
Why can't we learn
from our mistakes?
Our mistakes?
They're the one
making the mistakes.
Why don't they just stay
in their own country, huh?
A lot easier that way
if they just stayed in
their own count--
That should keep you shut
for a while. Okay, listen.
Listen, you are going
to be in and out of the room
all day long with tests.
I am going to go.
Please do me a favor. Behave.
And listen, Dad, okay?
Call, don't fall.
You'll be great.
Sara.
I'm sorry.
The board
made a last-minute decision
to have Decker's wife
handle the negotiations.
I tried calling you,
but you didn't answer.
What?
They're concerned that
with your father in the ICU
and Jake gone,
you won't be up for the job.
And someone heard about
a fainting incident
in your office, too?
That didn't help matters.
There's nothing you
can say that will help.
I can't change the decision.
[Joe] Yeah, I had
some more tests today,
and-- and I'll
get the results tomorrow.
Oh, yeah, thank you, babe.
Thank you, sweetheart.
I love you. Bye.
[Joe chuckling and sighing]
Oh, I didn't even know
you were still here.
Uh. That was Sissy.
Yeah. She remembered.
She called
all the way from Patagonia.
You know, she is one special
daughter.
Are you serious, Dad?
That's a special daughter?
Really, Sissy?
I have always been here
for you, Dad. Every single day.
I just lost my biggest client
because of you,
and I don't get a thank you?
Much less an "I love you?"
Okay. Really!
Sweetheart. Special.
You know what? I'm out.
This just sucks, Dad.
-Sara!
-What?
You shouldn't talk
to a sick old man like that.
[somber music]
Michael?
Michael?
What?
Um, I can't-- I can't--
I can't do this.
Can't do what? We're not
doing anything at the moment.
Um, I-- I can't have you
stay the night.
I thought I could, but I--
I just-- I can't.
Could you maybe
go home, please?
No.
Yes.
Why? You called me.
You told me
you needed company tonight.
And I did. I did. I'm just--
I'm really exhausted
and I'm-- I'm upset about
getting fired from my job,
and I just--
I can't sleep with you in bed.
Sara, I know that you're
tired
and you're rattled
about the job,
but, look, just talk to me.
Let me help you.
No, don't kick me out.
Sara, you know I've
been patient about
not staying every night
and having to leave,
but I figured it was
just because
you're stressed, you're tired.
But that's--
that's not the case now.
I want to help you.
Why don't you just let me in?
You know what I think
the problem is, Sara?
This is not
about you needing sleep.
This is about you needing
emotional boundaries.
Maybe you
should ask yourself why.
[footsteps receding]
[door closing]
In fairness, Mom,
they're entirely at fault.
Really? How is that?
[Eric]
Well, you were the one
who wouldn't give
Jake a bigger role.
Well, I couldn't,
because they hired me.
You were the one
who sent Michael off
so you could deal with
your feelings alone.
Okay, but I couldn't sleep.
It was just one night.
I didn't mean forever.
[Eric] And you were the one
who chose not to consider
sending Pop and Mom
to Florida with Aunt Sissy.
No, no, no, no, no.
That is not fair.
I-- I'm--
I'm the victim here, Eric.
Okay, maybe you are the victim,
but you're also
a victim of yourself,
what with your control issues.
What are you talking about?
I don't have control issues.
You do, and it might help
if you could acknowledge them.
Well, I don't.
Look, Mom, why do you think
I live 3,000 miles away?
[melancholic music]
[Sara sighing]
Wow. What a mess.
This looks
like my place, not yours.
[bells ringing]
What are you doing here?
I'm worried about you.
You haven't answered calls
or messages from anyone
in almost four weeks.
We need to talk.
Go away.
You're not gonna
get rid of me that easily.
I'm gonna grab
the trash cans in the kitchen.
Well, at least
you've been hydrating.
God, I mean, it's--
it's nearly February.
What are you doing?
Are you preparing
for Christmas in July?
Christmas is
my favorite holiday.
Be careful.
Okay, you know what?
I'm gonna put the trash out
by the curb,
and then I'm gonna
order us some eats.
No. Garbagemen'll stage
an intervention.
[Eric chuckling]
Mom...
it's a start.
I'm gonna get you some
water from the kitchen.
I think there's
some ros out there.
That's a morning wine--
Afternoon.
What time is it?
It's time to end your isolation.
Yeah, well, guess what?
Maybe I'm not ready to
deal with the real world, okay?
I've been so angry.
So angry at everybody,
especially you, Eric.
Well, I kind of noticed
my photos
were buried face down
around the house.
Just been schlepping
around this house, you know?
Feeling sorry for myself.
Feeling like
I'm just underappreciated.
I give so much and I-- I--
I deserve to have just as
much given back to me
as I do for other people.
It's true.
-You are a giver.
-[Sara] Yeah, but you know what?
If I control
everything and everyone,
then how does that give anybody
the chance to give back to me?
Right? So you're right.
I do have control issues.
And I'm sorry.
And I'm sorry, too.
I-- I'm sorry for being so harsh
about it when we talked.
You have nothing
to be sorry about, okay?
I know you think I'm an
old fart,
and you can't teach
an old dog new tricks,
but I'm gonna try, okay?
I need to try with you.
My dad?
-[Sara laughing]
-[Eric] Oh.
Do you know he's the only person
I have never
been able to control?
Well, I say
we're gonna
worry about him tomorrow.
And in the meantime,
just have some more soup.
I love you.
Hey, Mom!
I'm ready to go see
Pop and Mom
before we have
to get to the airport.
[Sara] Cut me some slack, kid.
Give me a minute.
[phone vibrating]
Hi, Gabrielle. What's up?
Oh, sh*t.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, um,
we're-- we're on the way,
we're on the way.
-Who's that?
-That was Gabrielle.
She's calling from the hospital.
Pop's in again.
Oh, my God, you're kidding.
Did she say why?
No, just that
he's on his way to the ICU.
She's upset. God, she
has been amazing with him.
Well, I guess I know
what I'm doing with Dad now.
And I'm on the way
to the hospital again.
Do you want to come with
before you catch your flight?
Yes, yes. I-- I have to see him.
Look, I can always
fly back later.
All right, yeah.
[Sara] Hey, Dad,
you're going to be fine.
You've been through worse.
Uh, this is different.
I don't think
I'm going to make it.
Yes, you will, Pop.
I'm going to try to
track down one of the doctors
-and see what's going on.
-Okay.
Hey, where's Mom?
Uh, Miss Kay
is at the apartment.
She was confused.
I thought it'd be best she
be in a familiar place.
-[Sara] Okay.
-Promise me you'll take care of
your mother when I'm gone.
Of course, I will, Dad,
but now's not the time for you
to be worrying about Mom, okay?
Tell me what happened.
Tell her, Gabrielle.
[Gabrielle]
Well, Mr. Joe was asleep.
[vacuum whirring]
Gabrielle? Gabrielle!
What is it, Mr. Joe?
What do you need?
I-- I'm not getting any air!
There's no air! There's no air!
Ah. Oh, come--
I told you it wasn't my fault.
I just need to check the IVs.
Okay.
Uh, listen, Dad,
while the nurse is here,
I'm going to go to
the bathroom, all right?
I'll be right back. Okay.
[doctor] Your father's colon has
ruptured again,
and this time,
he's developed septic shock
and is in critical condition.
I heard about the oxygen loss.
You know,
neither the rupture
nor the sepsis
was caused by that.
Now, the sepsis,
which at this point,
is well on its way to becoming
a system-wide infection,
is the real threat here.
It probably developed
over the course
of a few days after the rupture.
What can you do about it?
The options are surgery,
followed by an extended period
of antibiotic aftercare,
or palliative care.
Uh, I know what surgery is.
What's palliative care?
Basically, we remove
all medical support
and provide painkillers
until the patient
passes away from the infection.
In Mr. Flynn's case, it would
probably be a few hours.
That's not really a treatment.
I mean, what about surgery?
He had that before.
In the case of
an infection like this,
surgery is very risky.
The probabilities are
that he wouldn't survive.
And if he did,
you're looking at months,
if not years, of recovery.
You're gonna have to
make a decision soon.
Surgery can't wait.
Let me know if you have
any further questions.
You okay?
Yeah.
Well, I'm not
gonna make this decision.
Every choice I make
these days seems to be wrong.
So, I'm just gonna call Sissy.
And of course,
there is no answer.
Voicemail is full.
Just send her a text.
I don't want-- I don't want
to make the choice either.
What does Pop's living will say?
He doesn't have one.
I'd try,
but he doesn't trust anyone
to make the right decision.
So, he refused to sign it.
Well, then...
he should be the one
to make the decision.
[somber music]
[heart rate monitor beeping]
Sara?
-Yeah, Dad?
-Have you heard from Sissy?
No, we've-- well, we left some
messages and texts for her,
but we haven't heard
anything back, okay?
Have you heard from the doctor?
Um, messages for him, too,
on all of his phones,
and sent him a text on his cell.
Sara, I have to talk to her.
This is k*lling me. Please.
I know. Sh. Okay. Okay.
Dad? Dad?
Hello, my friend.
Heard you wanted to see me.
Do you know about my decision?
Yes, I do.
Is it the right one?
Joe, it's the decision I would
want my own father to make
if he were in this bed.
Okay.
Sara! Sara, get the nurse!
[Kay shakily inhaling]
Okay, thank you.
-[Michael] Hey.
-Oh, hi.
-Uh, thank you for coming.
-Yeah.
Yeah, he'll be much
more at peace
-with his decision. You're here.
-Yeah.
Joe is such a special guy.
He, uh...
To be honest with you,
I wanted to see you.
I know how hard this can be,
and I just-- I just wanted
to be here to help you.
[Sara sobbing]
Promise me you'll help
Gabrielle.
Gabrielle? Why, Dad?
Because she's a Dreamer.
Her parents are here illegally.
You've got to help her stay.
Please. She was so good to me.
She was?
You know what, Dad? I will.
I'll do anything I can.
Okay?
Okay.
Eric, Eric, give your mother
the envelope.
[Sara chuckling]
You're kidding.
New funeral instructions.
Please promise me
you'll follow them.
I will, Dad, I promise.
I'll do anything for you.
Listen to me.
I am so sorry that I got angry
with you.
Oh, baby. Oh, baby.
It wasn't your--
I'm sure
you had your reason.
And...
there's one thing
you have to know.
That you
were always my favorite.
Really. Yeah. You were just
like me. You got things done.
Oh, God.
Promise me one more thing.
Now that I got
the doctor back,
you'll make sure you keep him.
I love you, Daddy.
I love you.
I love you, too, baby.
Thank you.
I'm so sorry. Mr. Flynn has
passed away.
What-- what did she say?
Dad's passed, Mom.
What am I gonna do?
We're gonna
take care of you, Mom.
Oh, no.
Let's say goodbye to Pop.
-Okay?
-Oh.
Oh, Joe.
What's the point, Joe?
Oh, Sara.
What am I gonna do?
[Kay crying]
Oh. Oh, Joe.
Oh.
-Oh.
-Let's get Gabrielle.
She and I are gonna
take you home, okay?
Oh.
Okay. Oh, Eric.
Oh, honey.
I got you.
[piano playing]
I feel it comin'
Bad news down the line
I heard you laughin'
[phone ringing]
Laughin' to keep
from cryin'
You hit the ceiling
With all the troubles
you see
All through this evening
You get no troubles from me
Stay with me a long time
Stay for just one night
Stay as long as you desire
You can stay
as long as you like
You can stay
as long as you like
Ready, Mom?
Take off your makeup
You can have a good cry
There's gonna be a shakeup
It might be hard to survive
They take
all these sweet things
And throw them on a pile
But you and me,
we don't need things
You and me, we got style
Stay with me a long time
Stay for just one night
You can take
your sweet a*s time
You can stay as long
as you like
You can stay
as long as you like
Alright
Woo hoo
Stay with me a long time
Stay for just one night
Stay as long as you desire
You can stay as long
as you like
You can stay
as long as you like
[applause]
