Sometimes, God taketh away
what God hath given.
with her loins...
...bears us always...
...and lives forever in our hearts.
Let's go talk to her now.
Just sit next to her.
Doris.
Hey, sis. How you holding up?
I'm holding up.
Supposed to hold up,
so I'm holding up.
Hey, you know,
we're all pretty devastated, so....
Anyway, Cynthia and I were thinking,
now that Ma's gone...
...maybe you could get
your own place in the city...
- ...close to your job and everything.
- You wouldn't have to ride the ferry.
You've been living in Mom's house,
taking care of her all these years.
Which was so noble of you.
- I don't know how you did it. Really.
- So noble.
And I was thinking that, you know,
once we cleaned out Mama's junk...
- Todd, all my stuff is there.
- Yeah.
All right. Um....
Look, I just....
We, uh....
Here.
Her name is Sylvia Edwards
- Help with what?
- The hoarding, Doris.
You and Mom,
you held on to a lot of stuff.
Please, sis, just meet with her.
- I'm sorry.
- Sorry. Could someone hit eight, please?
Thanks.
It's tight quarters.
- It's pretty awkward, huh?
- Yeah.
Here. These are a little....
Sorry, they were on your ear.
Is that better?
- Boy, yeah.
- Yeah.
I like your glasses.
They're cat eyeglasses?
Yeah.
They're cool.
Okay. Thanks.
Hey, Doris?
Doris?
Anne's replacing all our chairs
She's got a whole truckload.
So I'm gonna need your chair, Doris.
I like my chair. It has a back.
You know I don't make the rules, right?
I'm just the muscle.
Can I have everyone
gather around please? Over here.
Over here.
Over here.
I would like to introduce everyone
to John Fremont.
John is the new art director.
He joins us after a successful stint
in the L.A. office.
We're very happy to have him.
So let's give him
a big New York welcome.
- Speech.
- Speech.
Speech.
Okay, uh, I'll give it a shot.
So I know it's a far cry
from the sandy beaches of Malibu...
...but, um, it's really great to be here
in the city that never sleeps.
So that's it.
That's all, folks.
You're so funny, John.
Okay, everyone back to work.
Okay.
Actually, wait.
There's one last thing
that I need to say.
I met a woman in the elevator
this morning.
And we hardly exchanged
more than a few words...
...but she made a big impression
on me.
Look, lady, I don't even
know your name...
...but you set off a fire inside of me
I have not been able to put out...
...since the moment
I laid eyes on you.
Can we explore this?
Doris?
Doris?
Doris?
Hey, sorry to interrupt
whatever that was.
Just me and the cats now.
I hope I don't end up like one of those
weird old New Yorkers...
...that chokes on a peanut and dies
and no one even misses me...
...until the smell of my decomposing
- Oh, honey, I would miss you. I would...
- Get in the slow lane, ladies.
You go eat some kale.
- Fascist.
- She gave us the finger, Roz.
- Give her the finger.
- Fascist!
- Roz, no, no, no.
- Hey, hey, hey.
Yeah, you'd better run.
Run away.
Run away, girl. Uh-huh.
Will you get your friend?
Oh, Roz. For goodness sakes,
just give her the finger next time.
Look, see, she ran away.
Of course.
You scared the heck out of her.
And then after that,
John says, "Th-Th-That's all, folks."
You know, like Bugs Bunny.
And Anne goes, "ooh," you know.
I don't even think
she got the reference.
