Ricky?

Paula, what are you doing here?Well... I

came to take care of my sweet

granddaughter. Well, you have your big

day.

Chloe's already at daycare, so it's

really sweet of you, but... Oh, well,

that's a shame. I'll see her another

time. Right. What do you have there?

Oh.

Huh It's a casserole.

No more TV dinners for you, Ricky. Can't

keep eating that way.

Let's just say Emily used to make that

casserole all the time for me.

Thank you for bringing it. Well, you

know, she she learned

that recipe from me. She wasn't

much for cooking,

which is a shame because there are so

many things I could have taught her.

I mean, I'm sorry, that was a little bit

insensitive. I'm still grieving too, you

know. It's okay.

Um, Ricky, you...

Your shirt is all

wrinkled. You can't go to your loan

appointment like this. They won't take

you seriously. It's the

only clean shirt I have. I must have just

left the laundry slip the last couple of

days. That's it's fine. It's

you know what?If I had known, I would

have done a load of laundry for you. But

we don't have time for that now. It's

really OK. You know what?Give me your

shirt. I'm going to iron it for you.

It'll make a big difference. Come on.

Wait, right now?Yes, right now.

I'll iron and you can eat that casserole.

That way you won't stain your shirt. I

really don't. Come on.

It's fine. It's the least I can do. I

want to help. OK.

Fool, and you take that.

It's just been really hard to make ends

meet since Emily passed.

I was barely scraping by before, but

without her contributing, I just. I don't

know.

I know I'm not going to have enough right

now to give Chloe a good future or a

college fund. Medical insurance.

All the things she would need.

I have spent too many years doing these

passion projects and wasting time on

nothing. I have nothing to

show for it now.

I just.

I have to get serious. I have to have

this meeting work. I have to have the

money to start this company. And

it's just I've always been good at fixing

computers, so I guess I'm going to end

up fixing computers for the rest of my

life. But

if it pays for Chloe to have the life she

deserves, then that's what I have to do.

Well, you know, I'll help you in any way

that I can. I wish I could do more, but

I'm living on a small salary

myself. I'm semi retired and

now that Harold's gone, he can't really

contribute. Paula,

you already you do enough to help us

already. You don't need to be sorry for

anything. Oh, that's

kind of you to say.

You know, I. I think it's

insane that Emily didn't

leave more of a nest egg. I mean, she

made all that money. Where did it go?

How do you find it within

yourself to forgive her for that?

It's not like that at all.

I was the one who was just fumbling away

with these projects, not contributing

anything to our family. I mean, she did

so much for us.

Of course, of course. It's nobody's fault

at all. You know, life

can just be so unfair

sometimes.

Be that as it may, it

is very important that

this lone interview goes

perfectly. And I'm going to do

everything I can to help. Your shirt

is done. Let's Let's give this a try, huh

I'll

help you. There we

go. Well, how do I look?Well, it's

definitely an improvement. But you know

what would really pull this together?Do

you still have that tie that I got you

for Christmas last year?Oh, yeah. No,

it's in our room. I know what it is. I

got it. I'll be right back.

You're tying that yourself?

Right. Yeah. Emily told me all about you,

the tradition with Harold and everything.

But she also said I was a grown man so I

could do it myself.

Really. You know, that tradition

was very important in my family. We

learned how to take care of our men. Then

I had Emily and she

grew up to be this independent woman and

spending all her money on herself. And

look where it got her, her husband and

daughter having to fend for themselves.

Anyway. Let's see. Let me just

fix this.

Yeah

Now it's perfect.

You've got the clothes handled. I'm

just finishing touches.

There we go. Well, aren't you

The handsomest guy I've ever seen.

And he'd give Harold a run for his money.

Really?Yes. I mean

it.

I mean, thank you for all your help with

everything. I guess I'll have to learn

how to do some of this on my own from now

on. Oh, no, you don't. No. I'll

always be here for you.

These acts of intimacy, the the

ironing and cooking and cleaning and

laundry, all of that is very important to

me, especially if it brings us closer.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?

I felt a spark between us. I'm sure

of it. No, no, I would

never betray Emily's memory that way. And

with her own mother?What are you

thinking?You should be ashamed of

yourself. I should be ashamed?No, no,

no, noEmily should be

ashamed. All she ever did was take,

take, take, take, take.

So ungrateful.

You know, she was a 12-pound baby. I

bet you didn't know that, did you?Huge.

Destroyed my body.

I swear she probably did it on purpose.

You know, I wouldn't put it past her. But

I lost the best years of my life

taking care of. Oh, just

what are you even saying?This

is insane. And of

anyone. Why?Why me?Out of

everyone in the world, why me?Like,

you know, when Harold passed, I was

so lonely. And of course,

Emily. was not supportive at

all.

Not in any kind of a meaningful way. And

then she brought you home, and I saw you

standing in the doorway like an angel.

You were so handsome and

kind and attentive and

such an interesting and creative guy.

And then you guys had Chloe, and I saw

what an amazing father you were.

And I-- II was jealous.

I just knew that I should

have been the one that you married, not

her.

She was just so, so

so selfish. All she ever

did was think about herself. She never

did anything for you.

You're only referencing the worst

parts. There were great things about her,

too, and I surely was not perfect.

I mean, you're right. We We should not

speak ill of the dead. It's It's so

gross. But we can't

wallow in our misery forever.

We can't bring Emily back, you know, no

matter how badly we'd like to.

We have to move on. And I

feel like we we can move on together.

You, you're my dead wife's

mother.

Ricky, you

know,

you know that I can take care of you.

I think I proved it today. Look, I came

over with a a nice home-cooked

meal. I

came to the rescue with

ironing your shirt.

I was here to look after Chloe.

I think you can see how much I have to

offer.

I... I appreciate

the help that you've given us, but if I

had known that it would lead you to this,

I would have never accepted your help.

Ricky, let's not

trivialize this.

Bottom line is I would

be here for you anyway to help

in all of these different ways. It's

just I know. that you

need intimacy, you need companionship.

It's It's not just about the chores.

It's about having something

familiar to come home to.

Look, you you have this important

loan interview in a couple

hours.

I think it would help if you

released some of this

pent upfrustration that you

have inside.

Think about how relaxed you'll

be. I feel

it too.

I feel that need as well, that need

for touch. And

I know that Chloe

sure misses having a mother figurearound.

I do miss being touched.

No, I just, I I couldn't, she's,

I would just be thinking of her the whole

time.

Maybe that's not such a bad thing. Maybe

if you close your eyes, you

can imagine that I'm her.

I mean, she is a

product of me. It's

basically the same thing, only better.

Just a better version of Emily.

Right here, for you.

It's the same thing. Only

better.

Yes.

I know something that you might like.

I've wanted this for so long.

Yes.

Oh, fuckOh,

you just do that like Emily did.

Yes.

Oh, so good though. So good. Oh,

fuck

Yes.

I

told you I would take care of you.

Yes, please.

But

Emily never did that. No.

Ah

umm Would you

like to answer?No, yes.

Back here.

Right

Oh, yes,

but a little better.

Yes. YesI told you. She needed this. I

much. Oh.

than I thought. Yeah.

Yes.

Yes

There we go. Yeah, right there. Yes.

Oh... Come for you. So

badly. Come for you, Emily. I want you to

come for me. I want you to come on my tits

Yes. Okay?I want to

see that big... load.

Oh, it's you, Emily. Yes. YesYes

YesYesYeah.

Oh, get him, get him, he's for me.

Oh, yes. Yes

Yes

ah

ohh I told you, this is

what we both needed.

You know, I just...

Can we do the right thing?I mean...

I I wouldn't worry. I I know that that

Emily wanted me to take care of you in

any and all possible

ways. I just

wish there was some way I could know that

for sure. Well, I mean, that's

that that was the last thing she said to

me.

The last thing she said to you?I I

mean, I-- Wait, wait, waitYou

You never said anything about last

words. What I

misspoke, I'm sorry, I'm a little--

No, no, no, you told me

when you got here, there was

just, she was already dead. You

told me she was gone, how did she tell

you to take care of me if she was already

gone?I I'm

it's no. I mean

it's it's it's what I know she wanted.

It's she you know you. No, no, no, no, no

You you said that there was

so much blood and that there was no

reason to even call 911 because she was

already dead.

She OK, now you're you're just

you're attacking me and I I'm I'm

confused. You're confused or are you

lying?I'm not because I'm

not lying. I wouldn't. I would never lie.

I I did. There's just nothing. There was

there's nothing anybody could have done

for her. There there was nothing anybody

could have done. But you you didn't even

try. I mean you didn't even call

911 to try and. Someone to save

her?It was, it was, it was pointless. I

mean, there was, there was so much blood.

The blood loss was was insane. There's

nothing, no one would have been able to

save her. It was too late.

I would have tried if there had been a

chance. You didn't, did you,

did you, did you

leave her there on the

floor?You left your own

daughter to die?No. I would

never, ever do something like

that if there had been a way. If there

had been any kind of a way, I I would

have done something. All

day. All these these things you've been

saying about me, about her, how you

felt.

You do that on purpose?

No. No

What kind of a person do you think I am?I

would never. That was my daughter. I

would never do anything to

intentionally hurt her.

Ricky. Look, I

don't ever want to see you again. If

you come after and talk to me or Chloe

ever again. Never. Ricky.

Wait. Ricky,

I love you. Please,

I...
