Look at it from the side.
Okay? See? If I'm thinking Picture if I'm thinking.
I'll go See? Or if I'm looking I can just look.

Look.
- What purpose does it serve? - It's just hair on a face.
It doesn't have a purpose.
It just makes me look rugged.
It really doesn't.
What is this? Since when do we drink lactose-free milk? I read an article.
I love lactose.
Really? What is it? The point is, don't go making change like that while I'm gone.
- That merits a discussion.
- We didn't discuss your beard.
Fine.
Let's discuss my beard.
- Shave.
- No.
- Fine.
- There you go.
Everybody in Chicago loves it.
- Who? - Everybody.
- Name names.

Colin is his brother.
Lola.
Lola is Vernon's wife.

Ching.
- I've never heard of these people.
- This is why I have to tell you.
- We have catching up to do.
- Not until after you shave.
- That's not gonna happen, my friend.
- Fine.
So we are at an impasse here.
I guess your beard is gonna have to keep you warm all weekend.
You know what? I can hold out as long as you.
In fact, longer.
And you know why? - Because you're rugged? - Bingo.
You know what's interesting? I don't feel anything.
I feel zero.
Nothing.
Nada.
Not a thing.
There's something.
Don't cut yourself.
We speak three times a day.
Why didn't you tell me? I was afraid, if I told you, you wouldn't come home.
Yeah, well You know, it's not pâté.
You know, you've been a grouch all night.
Lisa.
No.
We meet you at the airport, and you're all grumpy.
You're all quiet and sullen during dinner.
Like I really need this.
You could go back to your apartment.
- She can't.
- Sure she can.
I told you, my windows were stolen.
See, that's what I don't understand.
How does that happen? You wanna go over there? - No, I don't wanna go over there.
- We believe you.
You believe her.
Frankly, I think she's hallucinating.
You know, you have real issues with women.
Lisa, shut up.
No, I won't shut up.

They say the storm is heading to New York.
Too bad we couldn't be snowed-in together.
That would be nice.
Just stay here in bed together until spring.

We'll go over, eat a couple pounds of brisket.
We'll come home, lock the door until Sunday.

What are you doing? - Hi.
- What is it? You got lost? No, I just The place was such a mess.
What else is new? I had so much extra food I figured, why let it go bad? That's so thoughtful.

I know.
It's a new tousled look.
It started in Europe.
Very chic.

This is delicious.
What is this? Potatoes.
Let me at least get you a plate.
- Sylvia.
- What? I wanna show you Paul's new parka.
- One second.
- I really need your opinion.
I just bought it for him.
He hasn't seen it.
I don't know if he'll like it.
You know him so much better.
That's true.
Orange is really his color.
- I think so too.
- It looks warm.
Sorry.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
It looks pretty on you.
- What was that? - What was what? Oh, that! That was next door.
They're always doing that.
They're Greek.
It sounded like it came from the bedroom.
The bedroom? The bedroom? If it came from the bedroom, then that's obviously what it was.
A sound from the bedroom couldn't really be anything other than Look at that.
Bad dog.
It's all over.
I'll get a sponge.
- Sylvia.
- What? You're so helpful.
Meaning what, honey? Bringing food over, and just pitching in, and being you.
- Well, that's my nature.
- It really is.
- I never thought you'd notice.
- How could I miss it? This is the first time you and I have been alone together.
I mean, without Paul around.
You hungry? I'm famished.
I'll get us a little something, and we'll have a visit.
Come on.
I don't want to keep you though.
Burt is taking inventory.
I have all night.
Sponge.
I'm shutting the window.
They say rain.
Hey, guess who's home! What are you? You're all over me here.
- Well, you're all over me here.
- Can we get organized, please? All right, now you pick a position.
I wanna spoon.
You know what? Reverse spoon.
Honey, honey, honey.
This is more like a ladle.
All right, come here.
I got it.
I got it.
Position 12.
Here you go.
- That's nice.
- Much better.
That better? What are you doing? - Are you letting your hair grow out? - No.
Because it's, like, harder or something.
Do you want me to move? No, this is good.
This is good.
For God's sake! Is the bed different? No, it's the same bed we've had for two years.
It's like it got smaller.
How could it get smaller? My grandmother did.
It just happens.
How have you been sleeping in Chicago? Great.
How you been sleeping here? Like a log.
- Where you going? - I'm just gonna get a drink of water.
Surprise! - Hello.
- Hey.
Hey, guess what! I finished the film two days early.
I busted my ass, and the crew hates me.
But you know what? I don't care because it's over, and I am home for good.
Hey, buddy boy.
I felt so bad about last week.
All I could think about was coming home to see you.
That is so sweet.
- Hi.
- And she said you were selfish.
- Where's my wife? - Isn't she with you? - No.
- Well, she went to Chicago.
What? She felt bad too, so she decided to go surprise you.
What happened to the lactose? Are you kidding me? - Hello.
- Are you kidding me? - How did we do this? - I don't know.
So get over here.
I can't.
I already missed the last flight.
- Well, that's great.
- Oh, my God.
Well, welcome home.
Thank you very much.
- I miss you.
- I miss you too! Well Listen, you know what? We made it this far we can probably make it one more night.
How? I don't know.
Well, what are you wearing? I'm wearing a big orange parka.
Why? Honey.
What am I wearing? Come on, your sister's in the next room.
I don't care.
I don't want this evening to be a total loss.
The truth is, and I should have said this up front I'm wearing nothing, absolutely nothing.
- Me too.
- Really? Look on the pillow.
Is there a little chocolate mint? - Yes, there is.
Here.
- Okay, okay.
Unwrap it.
Okay, now put it in your mouth and roll your tongue around - What? You're home! Tell Jamie I'm watering her plants.
Honey? Honey? I'll just see you tomorrow.
Why are they so concerned about what they're wearing? They're having phone sex.
She'll put her eye out.
I know.
