I'm telling you, G,

if my life was a movie, it'd be a fucking classic.

Your typical rags-to-riches tale.

Mm-hmm. [CHUCKLES]

We eat organic. We have coffee colonics.

I can't believe I used to drink that stuff.

I should've just been putting it up my ass.

Stool so firm, if I threw it at you, you'd catch it.

-GLORIA: Hmm. -Nothing on your hands.

Mm-mm.

COSTELLO JONES: Got lots of free time to write my book

COSTELLO: And all the celebs live around here.

Stood behind Nicolas Cage in the post office

COSTELLO: I've even got a job in a bookshop that sells candles

-and tote bags. -[GLORIA CHUCKLING]

Ugh. It's everything I ever wanted.

Protection, polished wood floors.

Every Le Creuset pan in volcanic orange.

to come down here, didn't I?

-Mm-hmm. [CHUCKLES] -Lovely to see you, Gloria.

-Bring Paul next time. -IRIS: Hmm.

[WHISPERS] Cannot believe she just hugged you.

Where is Paul? Thought he'd moved in with you?

[GROANS]

Yeah, I don't know how much road there's left to run.

You know me. Six months and I'm gone.

We should start the adoption soon?

[UTENSILS CLATTER]

-Yeah we should. -She'd like that, wouldn't she?

COSTELLO: She'd love that!

And neither of you will ever have to worry about money,

ever again. I presume at some point,

Allegra will actually die,

[WHISPERS] I wish she was mine.

[WHISPERS] Me too. [GULPS]

I love her. So why won't they let me adopt her?

Because you went to prison for a year

for nearly killing a man.

And the adoption people have a very dim view of that.

Well, look at what your family did to you.

No one stopped them being parents.

You love her.

-That's all that matters. -Is it?

This family isn't real.

It's a wonderful lie.

Went on one of my long drives, ended up at the Farmers' Market.

Asparagus. I just do not eat enough.

Lightly fried in extra virgin, pinch of pepper, pink salt.

Just simple.

But digestion is tricky, isn't it?

Stomach breaks down the acid, you see

and converts it to sulfur.
