Good evening, Mrs. Hicks.

I'm calling about invoice number
137.

There's a balance due
of $365 and 17 cents.

We sent a copy in the
envelope with your order.

Did you receive your order?

I do have your PO number right
here.

It's 137..

I'm sorry to hear that.

But I'm gonna have to
report to my supervisor

and let him know your intentions

in regards to this past due
invoice.

Well you have until the
13th, so enjoy your day.

Wait, Mrs. Hicks?

Can I ask you a question?

How long have you lived in
Denver?

Really?

Wow, that's a long time.

Don't you ever feel like you
just wanna...

leave?

Just let me do it.

Here you go.

I don't think I'll be coming
over anymore.

Oh fuck.

Do you think that maybe you can

just turn it back on

for tonight and I can literally

come in tomorrow morning

with a check for you guys or?

Okay. All right.

Well, thank you.

Thank you for your help.

Hey Kenny.

Audrey?

Hey, oh sweet.

Well I have to talk
to you about something.

Yeah.

Kenny's been complaining

about the noise and he said,
okay.

He says that you've been-

Fornicating?

That's it.

I don't think it's gonna
be a problem anymore.

Glad to hear it.

Hey mom.

Yeah, things are going really
great.

I just...

I've just been

you know, working and

you know

I'm not seeing anyone right now.

But...

Happy Mother's Day.

Hello, call me the regular way.

This is Teddy

one of our North American
Porcupines.

You don't do good phone work.

I disagree.

That's what it says here.

It says you better not
dealing directly with people.

But that's not true.

I'm really nice to people.

I'm sure you are.

I just don't have any-

What else does it say?

I'm terribly sorry but

we're gonna have to let you go.

Okay, cool. Got it.

Thank you so much. You
enjoy your day.

You too.

Audrey hey it's Warren

I'm supposed to call it hang on

Jesus I know

If you want someone to do
something

you can just say it

and then you can let them do it.

You don't have to keep yelling
at them.

Sorry, I'm sorry Audrey

You have to get the rent

it's normal to do that
and it's really late.

It's Warren, OK bye.

Okay so, I just adopted a dog

and I think it's already one

of the best decisions I've ever
made.

We had a sleep over the first
night before I adopted him.

And he's literally the perfect
dog.

Look at that face

how can you resist?

Surprisingly, there's a lot of
older dogs

who are in need of a
new family to love them.

Most older dogs make wonderful-

Adoptions create families.

And the desire for a family
is something we never lose.

No matter how old we are.

Adult adoption is on the rise

and it is creating families
all over the world.

If you're ready to start the
search for your forever family

please visit our website
at adult adoption.

Hi there, I've never had any
kids.

My wife and I are kind of lonely
here.

And I think it'd be helpful
for us to have someone

it's a funny thing, how it came
about.

We were thinking about going

to the humane society and
picking out an animal.

The reason why I would
like to adopt somebody is

because I feel it's very
possible

that many of us have been
in families in other lives.

And that it's possible
that we might meet one

of those family members in this
life.

But I think I could share some
joy

with an adult who maybe has
never had these things either.

If you're an adult who is
looking

for an adoptive mother,
feel free to get in-

Hi, my name's Audrey.

And I'm looking to be adopted.

It was really nice watching your
video

and I hope that we get to meet.

Wishing you the best
over here by the river.

Thanks. Bye.

So um

I used to garden.

But I don't anymore because
of the arthritis now.

No not in five years.

I mean, we have so much in
common.

The music thing for starters

how many people really
like Dixieland Jazz?

I know they say they do but they
don't.

Actually we don't like jazz at
all.

We're just being polite.

Wheat toast and some water
please.

Audrey?

Ted.

Is Nancy coming.

Nancy.

Your wife?

Oh, she's parking the car.

Parking is pretty bad
around here, I guess.

I'm really excited about this
Audrey.

I'm excited too.

So you want a daddy?

Hello, my name is Sunny.

I've never had children,
but over the years

I've watched people who do

I've seen

so much misunderstanding in
families.

I think that if parents
can try to understand

that the things they say can
mean so much to their children

even little things can mean
something big.

If I was ever lucky enough to
be a parent, I'd be the kind

of parent who thinks about
what they say to their child.

And is kind.

Hi Audrey?

I'm Sunny.

Hi.

You didn't have to bring
anything.

Oh we don't have to eat it.

Come in. It smells good.

That's the cumin.

Have a seat.

Would you like some tea?

I had a boss once who told me

I should be on medication.

I think he was trying to help.

But I don't know.

Did you take his advice?

No, no.

I don't want to mess with my
brain.

Oh, do you mind if I charge my
phone?

Here, I'll do it for you.

Thanks.

What kind of job was it?

What?

The one with the boss
and the medication.

Oh God, I don't even remember

I've had so many jobs.

You move around?

I do.

You're a seeker.

Time for dinner?

Otto, this is Audrey.

Nice to meet you.

Hmm.

Words Otto.

Hello.

What is this?

Audrey brought it.

Wasn't that nice?

I made spaghetti.

We will have spaghetti.

Dinner will be ready soon

Otto why don't you tell Mutti.

Hmm.

Mutti is Otto's mother.

He has two children, Gretchen
and John.

Otto calls him Johan, but
everybody else calls him John.

Otto is very traditional.

It's nice.

Do they live nearby?

Yes, but we hardly see them.

They have their own lives.

Otto and I met online.

We both lost our spouses.

So there was nothing bad...

It wasn't that kind of online.

Right

I have to tell you something
Audrey.

Otto doesn't know why you're
here.

I'm sorry.

I was gonna tell him but

I didn't know how.

Hi, Audrey, this is Sunny.

I'd love to meet you.

And if things work out

I would love for you to join our
family.

I'm sorry Otto, I should have
told you.

So your parents are still alive?

What's wrong with them?

Why do you need this strange
thing?

Is she here about the cable?

We don't have cable Mutti.

Television is bad enough

without the cable.

You're missing nothing.

The internet?

Endless sickening pablum.

It could be a good source for
news.

What news?

The world is still a stinking
mess.

God is still dead.

Some sites can be educational.

I don't know if you guys
hadn't gone to the internet

you wouldn't have met, right?

Hmm.

This is really delicious.

Sunny, thank you.

Otto's an engineer.

Seriously?

Yah.

I am retired from NASA.

Oh, cool.

What were you doing there?

Do you have a degree in
aeronautical engineering?

No.

So how would you
expect to understand it?

She's just trying to be polite
Otto.

Otto and his son have a
difficult relationship.

He does get along a little
better with his daughter though.

Johan lives his life as if
there are no other people.

What kind of man calls at dinner
time.

How old are you?

Mutti die stille!

Don't listen to her she's almost
blind.

Also she's losing her mind.

These symptoms are to be
expected

as an individual nears death.

Tell Otto where you were before.

I was working in Montana

I was at this little
resort and I was a cook.

How long you were there?

Well, it was a seasonal job.

So it's about three months.

How long have stayed in
Saugerties?

Pretty long like I
think it's a year now.

That's a long time?

For me it is.

What brought you here?

I was visiting a friend.

What happened to the friend?

I don't know.

Audrey was raised in California.

The beaches.

The warm sand.

We lived really kind
of far from the beach

only went there a couple times.

How do you like it here Audrey?

I like it.

I like the river.

It's very deep.

This is what enabled whaling
vessels

to sail up from the ocean.

Whales?

Yah!

In 1766, the British
parliament placed a duty

on whale oil shipped to Britain.

So a group of whalers in
Nantucket

disassembled their houses

and used them to make ships

they then sailed them up the
Hudson River.

Two miles from here they
disassembled their ships

and reassembled their
houses to create a village.

We now know as Hudson.

So they actually dragged
the whales up the river?

No.

First they stripped the blubber.

It's known as flensing.

The remainder of the carcass was

discarded

in the open ocean.

Sunny I've finished eating.

It is time to play.

What are we playing?

Pretty sad looking tree
house you've got there.

It was there when we moved in.

Sunny your hips are not aligned.

That's good now go the other
way.

Oh good shot.

Come on Mutti

You are sane approximately.

A sane as you are.

So

We will call this an experiment.

Sunny and I are taking Mutti to
Bavaria

in the fall to see our old
farm before she expires.

So we're gonna conduct
this experiment until then

and at that time we
will assess the results.

Perhaps it will continue.

Perhaps it will be conclusive,
yah.

Sounds like a plan.

Of course the farm
is now a shopping mall.

We'll take her to another place

and tell her it's the actual
farm.

You don't think she's gonna
notice?

Today I'm gonna walk you guys

through doing acrylic on windows

and that is kinda what's up
with this glow right back here

this is actually blue

and I'll show you guys pictures

of the whole thing afterwards

but just a couple tips
before we get started.

Hey.

Hey.

What's going on?

Oh just getting off work.

Is that biodegradable?

The paint?

Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely.

Don't let any get on the
tomatoes.

Got it.

You know it's the seventh,
right?

Yeah.

I'm on it.

At the tone, please record your
message.

When you've finished recording

you may hang up or press one for
more.

Hey guys, it's me Audrey.

I was just calling to say hello

and hope everything's going
well.

And, um

And dad I just wanted to
check in and see how you were.

So

Yeah!

Just give me a call whenever you
can.

All right, things are
going really good here.

So

I'll talk to you soon. All
right, bye.

I call this MIYM chicken.

It means melt in your mouth.

I hope you like it.

It looks great.

It's very moist.

What's the matter with her?

I'm fine

I'm fine.

Otto would you go
see if she's all right.

A woman should go.

I think I have like a
stomach flu or something.

You don't have the flu.

Children sometimes unburden
themselves to their parents.

Yeah, so I've heard.

Still I'm objectively
interested in your difficulties.

My dad ran over my pet
chicken when I was eight.

It wasn't his fault.

It just he

was backing out of the garage

and he just ran her over.

I've heard of this
happening to cats and dogs.

No somebody got me an incubator

and two fertilized eggs
and one just sat there.

And the other one hatched.

And I had her for like a year
and a half.

It was responsive to affection.

My own father was a professor.

He knew nothing about farming,

but in Germany after the
war, there was no food.

He was forced to learn

to raise sheep.

We were told

that we were not to
become fond of the lambs

because they were to eat.

So

We will not serve chicken
while you are here.

Thank you.

Emotions.

You have grandkids right?

Two. They are seldom here.

They'd really like a tree house.

Would they?

Yeah, they would.

Hey I'm Bobby I like to make
stuff.

Today we're gonna start
building a tree house.

This is gonna be a two part
video.

And in the first part

we're gonna build a big sturdy
platform

and in the second part we'll
make it look really cool.

It's hard sometimes

we must take care of our
parents.

I'll see you later Otto.

No.

First we must unload the lumber.

You know I can stay with
her sometimes if you want.

You may have heard

there's a smooth service
called the horizon,

out of which nothing can escape.

You may have also read
there's something called

the singularity of the
center of a black hole

where everything is crushed
into an infinitesimally.

Small infinitely dense point.

Even these two simple
facts are likely wrong

or at least more complicated.

But nobody knows for sure.

If only we had the cable.

Inside there
to be a ball of string.

There could be an incredibly
compact star.

You've done this before?

Shh.

Hey

Hi.

Did you guys have a nice time?

Sunny give me two minutes to
prepare.

A hamburger you can
put it in the microwave.

Thanks.

Good night.

Good night.

Audrey its mom.

You call us again and again

and then when I call you
back you can't pick up?

What the fuck is wrong with you.

You gotta be available when we
reach out.

Come in.

Here are the tools.

You know how to use them?

Yeah, I know how to use a lot
of things.

I see.

You're trying to induce me to
say

that a woman can't operate power
tools no?

No I just sort of expected
to be said that's all.

I imagine you do, for a
moment I considered that

then I thought she's an honest
person.

She wouldn't tell me she can
use them if she couldn't.

My son one time expressed
interest in

power tools.

And then we went to a hardware
store bought all of this.

You know how to use them?

No.

Sons want fathers to do these
things,

don't they?

I think they just want
fathers to hang out with them.

I'm not a man who hangs out.

Go on, open the next.

Okay.

Now I'm retired.

Now I'm hanging out.

And in this hanging out

I discovered a curious
effect of deceleration.

There are now gaps between my
activities.

These gaps allow me to
experience regret.

For example, activity

I wasn't a father.

Activity

I was not a husband.

Activity, I was a man who worked
too much.

Activity, I was a man who grew
angry.

It's nauseating.

All right, shall we get to work?

You ever built a tree house
before?

Yeah.

So shall we say we will
complete it

by the 4th of July so the
grandchildren can enjoy it.

We?

Hi Dad I'm just um

I'm actually building
a tree house right now.

Because he only had two worms.

Hey Kenny.

Hey, Audrey, it's Warren.

Maybe you got my message that I
left.

You have to pay the rent.

It's time to do that now.

And can you just pay it?

I'll just knock again.

I can lower the rent,
like a hundred dollars.

I can ask my mom.

Thanks Warren it's okay.

You know its time to go.

I gotta go.

For your mom?

Okay.

When am I gonna get the
deposit back?

Well we can see what's left
after I refinish the floors.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Cool.

Sunny!

Sunny the wind is predicted
to rise to twelve knots

At three forty five.

So, we have to finish the pie by
two.

So, there is time to enjoy

the Fat Daddy.

He's nervous. His kids are
coming.

How can I help?

I can peel those if you want.

Why don't you go help Otto.

Of course.

You need some help?

Some of these balls of
fire can be unpredictable.

You have to be prepared.

Okay. Got it.

Sunny, she seems all right?

Yeah I think so.

Happy Fourth of July, Johan.

John.

He's my son.

The marinate is a little sticky.

So you might wanna grease the
grill.

So is your sister coming?

Gretchen should be here soon.

She has to celebrate with
her ex's family first.

Sounds complicated.

It's a much better situation
now.

Otto loves his fireworks.

I know who calculates the
wind age prior to ignition?

The wind age?

That's the correct term.

Johan do not under cook the
steaks.

Ay you Kraut bastard.

How'd your parents die Audrey?

My parents aren't dead.

Then why are we adopting you?

Guys can we leave her alone?

She has enough problems.

So what's up with the tree
house?

Audrey's rebuilding it.

Oh is that something you know
how to do?

Yeah.

She's highly skilled.

Can I go up there?

It's too dangerous.

It'll be safe after
I finish it. I promise.

Well, better, late than never.

We gave up trying to get Otto to
fix

that tree house a long time ago.

There was never time.

We're driving down to the
Cape in Florida Monday

there will be a launch.

It's gonna be a long drive.

16 hours.

Wow.

Will you stay at a hotel?

No lift off is at dawn.

We leave the morning
before, we watch the launch

then we drive home.

Sunny enjoys

the roar of the first stage
separation.

I really do.

There is blood in the steaks,
Johan.

John.

If there is blood.
There's still bacteria.

Do you know we're
nothing without bacteria.

Otto it's all over our skin

Honey.

Everyone give the steaks to me.

Honey, please.

I'm going to finish
cooking them correctly.

Give it to me

All of them, all of them.

Give to me.

I'm leaving.

Go let him show you
how to make the meat.

Where's the thermometer?

It'll make him happy.

Doubtful.

I have the thermometer.

Okay. If you don't go,
we're all gonna be miserable.

So take one for the team.

Johan you never put it near
the bone.

Bone is much more conductive
than tissue.

It gives a false reading.

There's no bone in these.

Someday there will be bone.

You'll know what to do.

Audrey why don't you
go to the Cape with Otto

the blast is incredible.

Yeah he can teach you all

about aeronautics on the way
down.

You never know.

You might find it interesting.

And if not you could pretend.

The steaks are ready?

I think they're done.

They are not.

They're fucking hockey pucks.

All right, I need to
check on the pudding.

Can I help you?

And watery diarrhea.

Dump the scheisse.

Enjoy.

I want to go inside now.

Danke.

Remote?

Want to get something to eat?

Something with a lot of
bacteria.

You buying?

Wow.

How do you like my father?

I think Otto's great.

Has he taken you fishing yet?

No. I didn't know he fished.

Well he doesn't, but
when he takes you fishing

he'll set you up at the end of
the pier

and then he'll sit down

and count the number of casts
you make.

And when you've hit 26,
it'll be time for you to go.

Whether or not you caught a
fish.

Why 26?

He did a time and motion study

and determined that if
you don't catch a fish

after 26 casts that you never
will.

Once I figured out the system

then I'd wait longer and
longer in between each cast

because I wanted it to

last.

At least he you took you
fishing.

It's nice.

During the summer months

when ticks are most active.

But first thing you can do is
wear light colored clothes.

If you're gonna come across a
tick

you're gonna wind up being able
to see

that tick crawling on your pants

or crawling on your shirt.

Even better than that would be

if you're wearing socks

you can tuck those pants into
your socks.

Ooh.

No, you're right.

Cause it'd be like incest.

Stop talking.

We could go to one of
those states where it's legal

or at least they look the other
way.

Just stop saying words.

You're not gonna drive, right?

No.

Good.

Good times.

Yeah.

Johan.

Oh shit.

Johan where did you take her?

He just took me to get some
food.

You have been drinking.

Why is it that immigrants
have more respect

for the national holiday?

What are you talking about Otto?

You are having a
celebration and you left.

I actually really like the 4th
of July.

I just thought you and
Sunny needed a little space.

We are not going to the Cape.

Otto

his name is John.

He prefers John. He's a nice
guy.

What's that mean?

Is that what a man wants
on his grave marker

he was a nice guy?

Better to say he was adequate.

It's not safe to drive with him.

John?

No in general. You must be
vigilant.

Also it's a holiday.

People drink.

They fire guns in the sky.

Otto I've been taking care
of myself for pretty long now.

Listen to me, the world is
dangerous.

I'm talking to you as if you are
my child.

I've forgotten.

How disagreeable that is.

Hi it's Warren's phone.

Please call me back.

I mean, I will call you back
when you leave a message here.

Thank you. Okay, bye.

Hey Warren, it's Audrey.

I really need my security
deposit back.

And if I could get it in cash,
that would be preferable.

Just call me when you can

or you can text me and we can
meet up.

I hope you're well.

If you have ever thought

about moving to Vermont
Governor Phil Scott

just signed a law that may make
it

a little more enticing

workers who move to Vermont

and make it their home will be
eligible

for up to $10,000 in moving
expenses and other costs.

State officials hope that the
money

and Vermont's high
quality of life will lure

out of state workers to
trade their office work.

You coming up?

Yeah.

Looks like there's much more
work to do.

No, I'm actually almost
finished.

No this section, for example
requires more support here.

It will stabilize it.

Otto I don't have any more
lumber.

You can get more.

If I did that all the way
around.

That's another like day, two
days of work.

Oh three, I think.

And you have pride in your
labor.

All right.

Lithium is present only under
the salt plains of Bolivia

some day it will run out.

Which is why another
battery material is needed.

Manufacturers are not
willing to knowledge this.

What the fuck?

Hey Audrey.

Hi

So I brought the money.

My deposit, thank you.

Yeah, it's in cash like you
asked.

I needed this.

Where do you live now?

Just

you know, around.

I'm fine.

I'm on my way out of town
actually going to be leaving soon.

I'm just ready.

You ever feel like that?

Where you're just ready
to see something else.

I mean

volcanoes

But I live here.

It's my home.

But you could live anywhere.

Your home could be anywhere.

Not really.

It's where you live,
where your family lives.

Me and my mom live here.

Yeah I get it.

I would rather that you didn't
leave.

Thank you, Warren.

What do you have there?

I brought you some tomatoes,

from my tomato garden.

Thanks.

Here you go.

I did this whole thing for Otto.

I figured that.

I'm sorry I misled you.

Okay.

You'll be leaving soon?

I hate rockets.

Really?

You can tell.

Oh yeah.

Audrey.

You found me.

Yeah.

Sunny, she told me you are
leaving.

Do I smell cumin?

You want some?

Yeah.

Good

Sit down.

I see that you have prior
experiences.

The wheels come off every now
and again.

And I do this for a bit

and then I get things back on
track.

So you will finish the
tree house before you go?

This is for you.

Mutti give it to me. It
was to help me sleep.

Shouldn't you give that
to like Gretchen or John?

They say this is music for
Nazis.

My parents were not Nazis.

This helped you sleep?

Of course not.

Listen to it.

One of the awesome things

about living here in Vermont
has been just the number

of friendships I've
been able to establish.

So today's gonna be a big day

for doing some work on the barn.

The term meteor in fact
refers to the streak of light

caused by a meteoroid as it
collides

with the upper regions
of the earth atmosphere.

Most of meteoroids are only the
size

of a grain of sand.

Is that right?

Space dust.

Measure twice cut once.

We're here.

Hey.

We're finishing up the tree
house for my grandchildren.

I told you they can't go up
there.

Audrey is making it safe.

It's more than sufficient
to meet the demands

of the County Building Code.

Tree houses don't have
building codes.

If there was, it would
pass there's no doubt.

Sorry can you stop that.

When you were a child, you
often asked me to fix it.

Yes, I did.

Look at it now you can use it.

Fuck.

I cannot understand
when she was a child.

She was the stable one, a fixed
particle.

Maybe you should go talk to her.

Is that appropriate.

Yeah, it's appropriate.

What do I say?

Just go in there and listen to
her

and try not to teach her
anything.

Hey Audrey?

Fuuuuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Are you okay?

Goddammit you little fucker.

Hey what did you just call him?

What the fuck?

What is the matter with you?

Oh my God.

Oh shit.

My finger I don't know where it
is.

Right there get in
the house in the house?

Oh God.

I'll get the first aid kit.

We need the big one.

I think it's time for me to go.

Yeah

Yeah

Scheisse

Where are you going now?

I have some friends in Vermont

who are

her barn is needing some repair.

How will you do that?

You're missing a finger.

Do you have insurance?

I will pay.

This is an emergency room Otto.

They fix you whether you can pay
or not.

That's how it works.

What do we got here?

We got a finger.

You sure do.

Let's see what we can do with
it.

Good.

It's gonna be a really long
time Otto.

I think you should probably go
home.

I will wait.

It's okay if you come in.

You're her dad, right?

Just go home.

Hey mom.

Hi Audrey.

Come in.

Who has a shot at a million

the rest can still win the
overall

but they would get on the grid,

the riders in the game, 22

but there's only one with a
shot at a million dollars.

And that's Eli Tommack
he has to win this race

right here to continue
that quest to a million.

Can he do it again he did it
last year.

How about the Toyota
Whole shot it's the rider

whose been out for 16 months.

And then just like the 64.

How are the kids?

I don't have kids.

Hey Dad

Why did you and mom get married?

She had air conditioning.

Makes sense.

Can I tell you something

about me dad?

I move around a lot.

In the past two years, I've
lived in four different places.

I've had like six, seven
different jobs.

I get someplace and it's great.

Things are working out and then
they just

stop working out.

I think once people get to
know everything about me

I just got to keep moving.

Why do I do that?

I don't know.

I was driving to the library

to return "A Theories on Dark
Matter."

And I saw your minivan.

It's a distinctive car.

Yes it is.

May I see it.

Yeah.

Is there nerve damage?

I mean I can't feel a thing.

Careful around hot objects.

It will burn before you're aware
of it.

I know Otto.

You didn't go to Vermont.

No.

No, I was already to go and
packed up.

I came in here to get some
propane and I saw they're hiring.

So I thought I'd give the old

staying put, a try.

See what that was like.

And what is it like?

So far so good.

I like it here.

Do you have friends?

I'm working on it

To have friends is crucial

to regulating blood pressure.

So?

Yeah.
