All right, son.

Open the door. Knock. See if she's home.

Hi.

Hi. Hi.

Nice to meet you. My name's Mike, and this is my stepson, Franco.

Nice to meet you.

We noticed that you moved into the neighborhood, and you're new to the

neighborhood, and we wanted to do the neighborly thing and offer you any help

you need any.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

I actually could use a little bit of help on my computer.

You know anything?

Absolutely, yeah. Go ahead. You sound great with that stuff.

Thank you. A perfect time. Look at that. Go ahead.

Is this it right here?

Yeah, I think it's perfect that you guys stopped by today because I've been

really struggling with this.

Like, it won't, it just won't turn on.

Oh, he's great with technology and stuff, you know? Oh, good.

Yeah, I'm like the least tech -savvy person there is. Oh, really? What do you

for a living?

Oh, I work in accounting.

Oh. But like bookkeeping. I do like the old school stuff, not the...

you know, computer stuff. Oh, I see, I see. I'm still on the paper.

No, that's okay. Don't worry. He's kind of a whiz with this stuff. Oh, okay.

So, all right. So, I noticed that you don't, you know, don't have a husband

around or anything like that? You're recently divorced or something?

Yep, divorced. That's why I moved in.

I didn't want to bring that up, but, you know, I'm divorced myself, you know?

It's okay.

Still good friends. No worries.

Of course, of course.

How's it coming along there?

I don't know. I'm trying to figure it out still, you know?

Just trying to get a feel for things before I try anything.

Absolutely. Do you guys know any good places in the area? Like, I like to go

skiing. Do you guys ski?

Like, snow skiing?

Oh, no.

Kind of. I'm not a fan.

I haven't gone skiing, I think, ever in my life.

What? Never?

Yeah. Do you go skiing all the time or something? Yeah, I love it. Oh, jeez.

This isn't quite the neighborhood for that, but, you know.

Oh, well, then I guess I'm in the wrong place. That's okay. They're still

traveling. Well, there's mountains, you know, like a couple hours away. You

could go skiing, you know? Oh, I suppose so.

When's the last time you used it?

Oh, it's been like down for two days. It's pretty new. I don't understand

going wrong with it.

Any luck?

Not yet. Not yet.

Hmm.

Well.

And you said it's brand new as well?

It's brand new. I guess I could take it back to the store, but I was hoping to

save myself that trip. It's kind of a ridiculous drive.

I guess, yeah.

It's probably a hassle with returning stuff.

I throw away my receipts and stuff all the time. Right.

Well, that was my next step. I was going to take it back, but since the universe

brought you guys here, I guess that works out now, huh?

Absolutely. Yeah.

What kind of work were you trying to get done on here?

Oh, I'm just trying to teach myself how to be, like, more technical, you know?

Like, I'm still using, like, a house phone, and I haven't, like, acclimated

myself yet with a computer, so.

Hey, anything your phone can do, this computer can do, you know what I'm

Like, same thing, tomato, tomato.

Oh, well, I guess I'll learn one way or another.

Yeah, no, absolutely. It's just good that you've come and decided to move

our neighborhood. Yeah.

Over here, we always try to help all our neighbors and, you know, do the best we

can to just be more of a community, you know? Wow. Well, how lucky am I to be

next door to two really smart men?

Well, you know, he's good at the laptops.

I always like coming in the neighborhood, you know? Yeah.

And then if he can't figure it out, you know, I can give it a good try. But

first of all, just let the sun deal with it, you know? And we can talk about fun

stuff, you know? Yeah.

Yeah. Here we go.

You ever go out and explore the neighborhood yet? See, meet anybody?

Oh, no, not yet. No, not yet, not yet. I plan on doing that soon.

I've just been so busy moving furniture in, you know.

Okay, let's see. No, that's not bad at all.

The stubborn shirt.

Oh.

Oh,

you just finally met us.

You know, you're the first one to come introduce yourself. Everybody's

surprised. Usually the...

Old Mary over there across the street is usually the first one to drop off

cookies. Uh -oh, I'll let her know that you beat her to it.

Where's my cookies?

You know, I don't have any cookies. We offer our services.

I see that. Just general helpful, you know? Yeah.

And have you got it? Have you turned it on at all?

Yeah, I mean, it worked just fine for like two days.

And then yesterday, I think, is whenever it kind of went down, and today it's

been down, so I don't know.

Hmm.

I think I may have figured it out.

What's that?

I think you just need to charge it.

Charge it? No, she's probably writing down that, son. No way.

Wait, what does that mean, charge it? I was told that the battery would last

like a year and a half.

I think I may know what the problem is.

Yeah?

Maybe your password?

Have you tried typing that? Did you maybe change it and forget about it?

I don't think I put a password on it. Actually, I live alone. I don't worry

about those things. I don't worry about passwords and stuff.

It wouldn't be the end of the world if I lost it.

There's nothing important yet.

But he was telling me how to put a password on it and actually get it

yeah, for sure. Once we get this turned on, I can show you whatever.

Do you want to give it a shot, Dad? All right.

Let's see.

Sometimes we hold buttons down.

Yeah? Let me see.

Have you found anything fun around here to do? Like within walking distance. Is

there a park nearby?

Maybe a... Oh, yeah. There's plenty of stuff around here to do. Plenty of good

restaurants, parks.

Are you a foodie? Absolutely, yes.

Oh, what's your favorite kind of food? I love eating out, you know, all the

time.

I'm a mean pasta cut.

Do you like Italian?

I love Italian.

Italian's my favorite. I love Italian, too.

Oh, Mario.

That's good to know.

Do you have any... Just you living here? You don't have any... No kids, nothing

like that? Just me.

You're out of luck, kid.

She doesn't have any sweet daughters around.

Oh, good. Welcome to you, too.

You're embarrassed. I'm embarrassed.

I'm sure she's nice enough.

Well, that's absolutely fine. But listen, I have lots of girlfriends.

Oh, there you go. Yeah, we'll have to have a good cookout sometime. Give it a

try. I don't understand that.

Like a block party cookout?

That'd be so cute.

A block party cookout, you know, this is not a bad idea at all.

Not a bad idea.

What a stubborn computer, my goodness.

I know, you know, I'm glad we came at the right time. And, you know, if you're

trying to get more technologically advanced and stuff, this is a good start

kind of get your laptop going and stuff like that.

Well, no worries. If we can't get it going, it's not the end of the world. I

still take it back.

I saved my receipt.

I'm sure you can definitely get it going eventually, you know? Yeah.

I'll give him one more try. Then I have one more trick I have to remember in my

head. How to get that, you know, fixed.

Oh my gosh, that would be something so silly and so easy. I'd be so

Yeah.

We'll get it done.

Yeah, you know, if you have anything else around the house, stuff like that,

we're looking for.

Yeah, well, I'm sure I'll need your help eventually.

Especially if you guys have to go and help out new neighbors. It's nice.

Very neighborly.

Yeah, no, absolutely.

That's a good neighbor.

A great neighbor.

Absolutely. This is quite wonderful.

I think I may have figured it out, but you want to try your last trick? Let me

see. Maybe I have a better theory than you do. You know what I mean?

I think I have a better theory.

Definitely.

So many nice things in this house.

You get this big house from being an accountant?

You're like a forensic accountant or something? Yeah, well, I did a good for

divorce.

What did your husband used to do? Be a doctor or something? He was in law,

Well, that's funny today.

Lucky you, you know?

I give up. You give your try.

I think the problem is it just needs to be charged.

You're kidding, right?

No, not at all.

But they said the battery life should last a very long time, like a year. Like

shouldn't have to replace the battery.

That's just a selling point for these guys.

That's never the case.

Oh, okay.

So, you know, there's a problem. Just plug it in and it probably definitely

should work, you know? Yeah. Okay.

Well, we best be going.

You know, that's a problem, you know, whatever it is, just plug it in and

Oh, that's what the core that came with it is for?

Yes, yes. Oh, my gosh.

I knew it would be something so silly.

But before you guys go, do you want to make your dinner?

Oh, no, we have our things to do right now. I've got to help him with some

projects and stuff.

We'll definitely take a rain check. Hey, listen, maybe we'll come back tomorrow

and we can have some dinner?

Great. I'd love to cook you guys some food. Okay. All right, so let's go.

see ourselves out. Don't worry. We'll just hand her the laptop and let her

with it.

All right, thank you. Thank you, guys. Thank you so much. So nice to meet you.

Yeah, absolutely great to meet you. Yeah, thank you. Great to meet you.

All right, let's go, son.

I'm so happy that you two could make it.

Yeah, you know, it's great that we're doing the Italian thing.

That's good. My favorite, I can't wait.

Yeah, you know what? In fact, Stan, why don't you help her set the table at

least?

That'd be great.

He'll find the place, don't worry. He's a good kid.

Aw, good.

So is there any, how do you use these?

How do you do your pasta? Usually I put like olive oil in mine or something.

and some salt while they're out there.

I've heard that that was the non -traditional kind of way.

So we're going to go to the stove here.

Maybe that one doesn't work.

Yeah. Oh, that one works.

Yeah. There we go. Excellent.

There you go.

Fire. Get her boiling.

There you go.

We can have a... There's three of us. You set three plates, son?

Some silverware, too?

Let me look around.

I'll let him do it. Let him do it.

I'm always teaching this kid manners and stuff like that, how to set tables and

how to properly set tables is another thing.

Forks go on the left.

That's right. Forks on the left. You hear her?

Knives go into the plate on the right and spoons next to that. Thank you. You

to etiquette school. I did, actually.

Oh, wow. That's amazing.

I know a thing or two.

That's absolutely great.

I never went to no etiquette school. I just kind of, you know, just me.

That's all I did.

You know? Yeah.

That's good.

Is there any side dishes, or do you have anything baking or something? I smell

something. Oh, yeah, there's the green bean casserole in the oven right now.

Green bean casserole and pasta.

I'll try that. Oh, you haven't had that together? I love that combination.

Yeah. I've never had that together before.

Tossing up pecan pie later. It's frozen. I didn't have time to cook it. Pecan

pie, you said? Yes.

God, that's absolutely amazing.

I'm very excited about this.

Yes. Very excited.

It is kind of an interesting combination. That's okay.

Delicious. Do you ever cook often? This is tricky.

Yeah, I cook.

I mean, I used to cook a lot more.

Now it's just me, so I like to kind of, I like to eat out a lot.

But anytime I have a chance to host.

Did you try any of the new restaurants around?

I tried the Chinese restaurant down the street. It's delicious.

And then there was a nice hole -in -the -wall breakfast place nearby. Have you

been there?

No, not at all.

Was it Tony's? Maybe I've been there. Okay, yeah, yeah.

Oh, okay, great, great. Something like that. I didn't catch the name, but it's

nearby. Those hole -in -the -walls are the best. Yeah, I think so. Their eggs

are... You know?

Hey, no worries. I'm just here, you know getting to know pristine and all the

fun things to grow with it.

Sometimes adding salt helps.

No, absolutely.

I've read that salt helps.

I don't know how to open this salt though. It's a new thing.

It's a new thing. I don't know.

It's like all the salt that the nearest grocery store had.

Oh, there you go.

Speaking about tops coming off.

Well, speaking of, look at that, the way things work out.

Yeah, no, absolutely.

I forgot what I was talking about.

I don't know, breakfast places and whatnot?

Oh, yeah, yeah, exploring the neighborhood and stuff.

Oh, here we go. Let me help you. Oh.

There you go, great.

You know I'm right -handed.

That's okay.

It's absolutely fine. Well, we want to be lucky at the time.

There you go.

I'm killing time with this pasta.

Yeah. It's always good. Oh, look at him. He's stirring the water. What a nice

boy, huh?

Yeah, getting this all thrown away because that'll help boil it. Turn up

heat right here. Turn that one up.

Turn it to the left.

There you go.

Is it all the way up?

I haven't used the stove enough to understand it yet.

Oh, we'll figure it out together.

Absolutely. What kind of pus do we have here?

What do you call that?

I don't know.

It's what the grocery store had. I did my best.

No, I'm not judging. I just don't know. There's all kinds.

Yeah, absolutely.

Absolutely.

Oh, you did a great job setting the table. Look at you, son.

I try, I try.

Embarrassing me, telling me I don't know how to do it. I try to make it look

pretty for it.

Yeah, there we go.

Do we have any soup later, too?

Oh, I didn't prepare soup.

No soup?

You put bowls there.

Pasta goes in bowls, guys.

But I do have ice cream that we can toss in the pecan pie. It's better work.

Leave the bowls.

Oh, see? I love pies.

Me too.

That sounds great.

Is that water boiling yet?

Almost, almost. Almost, just a little bubbles.

A little simmer, that's good.

It's a good stove, I guess.

I can't wait.

You have such pretty eyes, too.

You think so?

Yeah, absolutely.

Have you thought of starting on the dating market again anytime soon?

Am I back into dating yet? You know what, I'm just having fun right now.

Oh, okay.

You better have some fun.

Yeah, you gotta, you know, you gotta be fun and just kind of do your own thing.

I don't know if you haven't been dating yet.

I am. I bounce around.

Okay.

Speaking about the divorce, have you still sticking with men?

Oh, I've always been a little, you know, I always swing a little both ways.

Okay.

It's a good time to just kind of kill some time, use your holes. It's great.

Yeah. There you go.

Can't wait to see what the cooking skills are like.

Hey, you know, it might come over more often if you can really cook well.

Well, I'm pretty good at pasta, but you know what? It's been a while, so we'll

see.

How's it going?

Oh, yeah.

Jesus,

you're still okay over there?

Yeah. Oh, no, it's boiling. I see it.

Oh, we're boiling now?

What do you think?

Take a look and see if it's boiling.

Here, I'll take a look.

Not quite.

It's still definitely simmering.

Oh, sorry. I made a mistake.

So that way I can keep an eye on this pot up here.

Oh, there we go.

Oh, let me help you.

There you are.

Thank you.

Yeah, I really appreciate you teaching my son about cooking and how to set a

table properly as well. Oh, yeah?

Yeah, I'm always eating out. I can very use the knowledge.

Oh, yeah.

It's always nice to have, I guess, a woman roll around and do such a thing.

Unless I want to teach my son a little sharing.

Yeah, sharing.

Yeah, sharing.

Sharing.

He's always trying to get me to share my stuff with him.

My son, you know. Everything, really.

I'm sure glad we came over.

What a day for it, you know.

Once you mentioned pasta, I couldn't wait to come back.

You know, I took it upon myself to read the manual for that computer.

I just had to plug it in.

I even downloaded an accounting program all by myself.

Oh, did you?

I did.

Oh, that's good to hear.

You know, could you be a deer and get me a chair over there?

Oh, okay. These heels are killing me.

Oh, are they? Yes.

Is it time to pour the thing in?

Would it hurt if I poured it in earlier, you think? I think it should be okay.

Just cook it a tiny bit longer.

Yeah, I see steam coming off. That should be good.

Oh, goodness.

Oh, I think I dropped one down there.

No, no, don't get it, son. Don't try to rescue pasta out there.

Let's see.

Oh, that's capable, you think? Just leave it. It'll be fine.

Okay.

I'll take care of it later. Don't worry. We'll just have one really cooked

piece. Thank you. A crunchy one.

Whoever wants it.

I'll help you stir.

This is kind of great.

There you go.

Good.

I'm glad you were able to use the, you know, figure out the laptop and stuff

like that.

Yeah. Don't worry. Let me service my son over there. I'll just kind of help stir

this real quick.

Let me get comfortable here.

Now come back here.

See, isn't she a great neighbor?

The best.

Those are there

Stir it a little bit.

That's the trick to making good pasta is to stir it.

Stir it on up.

Yeah, don't be lazy and put a bunch of olive oil in there. That's a lazy way.

What kind of sauce are we having?

My own special concoction.

Me and my dad can throw in our own little flavor to it.

Absolutely do that.

Any plans for the weekend?

No. I'm looking for a nice hiking place if you can recommend one.

Have you been to the beach around here?

Actually, yes, I have. I stung by there recently.

Let me kick these off.

There we go.

You went to the beach recently?

Yeah, I did.

Oh, that's pretty cool. The one off of the 26 over there?

Uh -huh, that's the one.

Oh, perfect, perfect.

Oh,

now it's boiling.

Now it's got that rolling boil going on.

Oh, that

feels

nice.

Good, I'm glad.

Yeah, buddy.

Give me your hand right there.

See,

this is what good neighbors think about, you know?

Especially in this world.

That's right. Come right here inside me.

I don't need a mess to clean up later, you know?

Well,

you know, pasta's almost done. Just come here real quick.

I'm just going to finish up here.

Son, why don't you start getting the plates and all that stuff and just keep

your leg down here.

If you like them crunchier in the first recipe, we could do a little crunchier.

Crunchy pasta.

Crunchy pasta.

Thank

you

so much for leaving us.

All right, so I want you to sit at the table.

She's going to stir us a little longer, and then I'll find the strainer, okay?

Yeah, thank you. All right.

So what seems to be the problem today? Well, it's just not working.

Is it not working or is it leaking? Well, it's hard to work without the

Son, come on.

Is that not how it works? No, you're going to have to learn about plumbing

of these days.

You mean it's not working?

Yes, absolutely. So what's the problem that's tough? Does it leak?

Where's the leak coming from?

Well, it's like one works. Like, I turn it on, but like this doesn't work.

But does it hold water?

No. So it's leaking. Okay.

Get in there.

Don't worry.

Crawl down there, son.

Let's see if you can find it.

You know, after that wonderful dinner you made us the other day, you know,

anything you need, don't hesitate to call us.

Well, you guys came over pretty quickly.

I mean, only a few houses down anyways.

All right, the trick to looking for leaks on, it's going to be very hard

they're very, it's going to be like a hairline leak, you know? Yeah, there's a

couple screws down here, but I'll see what I can do. It wouldn't be coming

a screw.

All right.

They're kind of like a... hairline fracture kind of thing. So if you use

good eyes, my eyes aren't that great.

Since I moved in, I haven't tried to use the television this morning. I didn't

realize the problem, you know.

Whoever had it before me.

Well, I'm glad you were able to at least call us over and call us over

and stuff. You know, we're here to help.

Thank you very much. Appreciate that.

We're going to find the problem exactly.

We're going to figure it out, okay?

It kind of has like a steady leak,

so follow the leak up.

Am I going to tell you right now? Am I going to show you? I don't know.

I'll figure it out. Don't worry.

Yeah, he's, you know, don't give him too many hints. He's got to figure things

out and be his own man one of these days.

Still nothing?

No, nothing yet. I'm feeling down here.

I'm certainly feeling it.

Well, you stay down there until you have it. She says there's a leak. There's a

leak, okay?

Porcelain has a very, it's very tricky with porcelain.

The leak would more likely come around the pipes rather than, you know, the tub

itself. Mm -hmm.

You know, I'm trying to get more of a look in there, you know. Mm -hmm.

Can you, like, put two liters of cock on it?

No, that doesn't work like that. Here, son, I'll start filling the tub.

Yeah,

try that.

Is there anything from the telephone part?

It's not coming out of the telephone part, okay?

It's coming out of the side of the top. The wire's almost there. Let's see.

Are you sure you know how it works?

Yeah, we're going to fill it up, and once you start seeing leaks, then we'll

know, okay?

Okay, let's see how long it holds water.

Now keep your eyes open.

I'll see where it's coming out. Don't get distracted either, okay?

Yeah, no distractions at all.

This edge has been very nice to let us use for holes while we work, so okay.

I'm trying to find the hole, Dad, okay?

No, you're trying to find the leak, smartass.

I don't really appreciate all the help when you do.

Of course. This is what neighbors do for each other.

This poison feels so good.

Oh, it's supposed to be smooth. Now listen, do you see the leak or not?

Yeah, I do, actually.

Okay.

All right.

Well, here's the problem.

Yeah, you're going to need a specialist for this. This is beyond us.

You know what I mean? The door is closed anyway.

Even if we had the tools, I don't think we're qualified enough to, you know, fix

your tub. I'm sorry.

Yeah, I was worried about that. That's fine. I'll call a plumber.

You know, when you buy a new house, it's always something.

Yeah, let me strike you. Damn it, sons. Quit screwing around.

All right.

Well, are we going to be doing anything?

Oh, yeah, I've got some work to do. I'm counting to catch up on.

All right, no worries. We're probably just going to hang out a little bit. So

you can go ahead and, you know. Yeah, stick around. Yeah, we're going to clean

up here while you do your thing. No, we'll be there in a minute.

All right.

We'll see. It's going to drain. So this is no point of draining anyways.

Yeah, that'll get there. That's quite dirty too. She needs to clean it. All

right. You don't mind us hanging out, right, Christine? No, stick around as

as you like. Okay, I just got to get your work done.

Yeah, I wish I could host a little more, but you know.

Oh, it's fine. We'll just keep ourselves occupied.

Okay.

Absolutely.

What are you doing anyways?

Oh, just catching up on the bookkeeping.

Especially now that I have the computer working.

Hey, you hear that, son? Her computer works. I'm still getting the hang of it.

but I'm learning how to use spreadsheets and such. Oh, okay. That's good.

Oh, man.

Yeah, don't mind us. Just keep doing your work over there.

Yeah,

I have a deadline for this.

It's kind of important.

Oh, that's okay.

tight squeeze.

I got you in the leg. I'm sorry.

No worries.

Don't mind us. Just you keep doing what you're doing. Focus on your deadline.

Yeah.

We'll be out of here soon enough, you know.

Or in your hair.

I don't know.

What did I tell you about sharing, son?

Oh, dad.

I can't get much work done like that.

Anyway, I need to be more comfortable.

There we go.

Is that like a TPS report or something?

It's a personal budget for an account that I have.

Okay, fair enough.

How long have you been a accountant anyways?

Four years.

Makes sense.

She knows what she's doing, you know?

Complicated stuff, yeah.

Looks like she's multitasking on here.

Yeah. There's a couple things going.

What is the one account that I need to get done?

I think there's a couple things you need to get done, but I don't know anything.

I just need to figure out how to cut down their budget.

It's a household, an entire family household.

the problem with this family is that they they're definitely spending more

than they are bringing in so we gotta find ways to cut expenses and write with

doable budget for them i'll not set them up too

budgets

feel so good

You're really good at this.

I feel like maybe they can also cut back on what they're putting into savings. I

hate to give that kind of advice, but when money's not there, you know, you

have to adjust, right?

You have to adjust somehow, yeah.

And I'd love for them to get the compound interest, but right now they've

money at least until they can readjust their budget and make it work for them.

I mean, all those key factors right there alone could definitely put Amari

track, you know?

I think that's all I have to do.

Do whatever you'd like.

I think you should take a break from all this accounting.

You think so?

Yeah, just until we finish up here. Why don't you lie on your back?

Yeah, sometimes stepping away from the project helps.

I hope so.

Recalibrate my brain, you know?

Absolutely.

Let's see here.

Yeah,

let's go just take a break from...

You're counting and stuff.

Yeah. Let us finish up and we'll be out of here. Yeah, of course.

Do what you need to do.

You guys have helped me out so much, you know.

Don't let me forget to call the plumber.

Oh, yeah.

Mm.

Mm.

Thank you.

Well,

you go ahead first, son, and then I'll be right after you.

There you go.

Now

daddy's

turn.

I guess I should call that plumber, huh?

Yeah, definitely. Well, thanks for having me and my son over again.
