The Wrong Neighbor

Open this door!

Open up!

Open the door!

Let me in! I'm family!

She's crazy.

Please hurry!

They're on their way.

Why is she doing this?

I don't know.

We've called the police.

Let me in!

I thought I heard you up last night.

Yeah, I had a nightmare.

What was it about?

I don't remember.

Am I taking you to school or not?

Not.

Fine. I'll pick you up at 3:30

and drop you off at Dr. Fischer's office

like a good Uber driver.

Can't wait.

Lisa, look at me.

This isn't my fault.

Spoken like a true lawyer.

What's that supposed to mean?

That there's no arguing with you.

My God, Lisa, where have you been?

I texted you like 20 times this week.

Sorry, Penny, I just haven't been in the mood.

To talk to your best friend, really?

I said I'm sorry. My parents just split up.

Can I get a break?

That's like half the kids in this school.

It's no reason to drop your friends over it.

I just have a lot on my plate right now, okay?

You know what, Lisa? I hope you clear it.

So, Mr. Clark, how can I help you today?

So what exactly does a tax attorney do anyway?

Well, in your case, I provide legal counsel

for the structure and tax treatment of your business.

What kind of company are you starting?

Security.

Turned in my shield after 20 years.

I wanna live a little bit larger than my pension allows.

It's dangerous work. They should pay you fellas more.

Hey, you're the preacher, I'm the choir, Miss Sullivan.

It's Missus.

Sorry. I didn't see a wedding ring.

I just assumed.

Let's get started, shall we?

Hey, Nate.

Hey, Tim, what's up? You moved in yet?

Staring at my immediate fate as we speak.

Me too. I never thought I'd own my own restaurant.

Well, I never thought I'd be the head chef of one.

Well, I did, ever since you catered

my parents' big anniversary party when I was 10.

I appreciate you taking this chance on me, Nate, really,

even if it blew up my life.

Yeah, look, I'm sorry about you and Heather separating.

Well, you offered me my dream, and I accepted it.

I just hope I don't let you down.

Have you tried your food?

Just relax tonight.

While you're relaxing, you mind coming up with

a new dessert or two?

Yeah, I'm gonna can the zabaglione.

No one knows what the hell it is.

Hell, I don't think I do.

Okay, all right, I'll see you in the morning.

All right.

All right.

I'll get some lunch.

Okay, hold on, hold on. I know it's in here.

Just give me a minutes.

Yeah, you said that two minutes ago.

Come on!

Yeah, we haven't got all day!

Okay, it was on the kitchen counter this morning,

and then I put it in my bag.

It's just-- Damn it!

Everything okay?

Yeah. I'm just having the worst day of my life.

How are you?

If leaving your wallet at home

is the worst thing that's ever happened to you,

you've had a pretty damn good life.

How obnoxious do I sound right now?

When you guys get a chance, can you let me know

if this is gonna be lunch or dinner?

All right, how much?

- 10.65. - No, no, no, I can't--

No, please. Help out a pretty woman

and teach a lesson in manners at the same time?

Whatever, man, it's your money.

And your attitude.

- Um, thanks. - Sure.

- Jamie. - Tim.

Next.

Finally.

Ladies, what can I get you?

Thank you. You saved my life back there.

You don't have to walk me to my car.

I don't mind.

Your wife's a lucky lady.

It's, uh, it's complicated.

Hmm. Do you have kids?

Daughter Lisa, she's 16.

How's she handling the complication?

It's been hard.

She feels like she had the rug pulled out from underneath her,

but she knows I would never hurt her.

So what do knights in shining armor do nowadays?

Oh, uh, you know, whole lot of riding white stallions.

Generally, a lot of jousting is involved.

Actually, I'm the head chef at a new restaurant

opening up on Lake Drive.

- So you cook too. - Yep.

You're just like some sort of unicorn.

Yeah. What do you do?

Nothing right now. I just moved into town.

I'm living in the Deer Hill Apartments down the road.

- Are you kidding? - Mm-mm.

I just signed a lease there today.

Wow. Building two.

Three.

That's crazy.

Well, I guess it was fate that we met, huh?

Yeah.

Oh, let me get it.

Watch out, hero. I got this one.

Oh, don't get shy on me now, Tim.

Yeah, I guess I should go, huh?

Okay.

Okay, see ya.

- I'll see you around, neighbor. - Okay, yeah.

Better hurry. Jaworski's gonna chew you ass off.

I know.

What are you doing in here?

I've been looking for you all day.

Hey.

What, are you mad at me?

I just need some space.

Look, Lisa, I know you're having a really hard time

with your parents' breakup,

but I can't help you work through any of it

if you won't talk about it.

I can't help how I feel.

You think that I can't?

Steven, let go.

Look, Lisa, I'm just trying to help.

Well, now is not the time.

Ow.

I'm sorry, I--

Sullivan, get out here now!

You better get out of here before Jaws catches you.

Okay. Can we talk about this later?

Maybe, but right now you just have to go.

Sullivan!

Where do you think you're going?

You've been swimming here for me for four years,

and you still don't know there's no running at the pool?

Sorry, Coach.

I know you're going through a lot at home,

but it's not a good reason to slack off over here.

And you're late.

- Why do you ride on me so hard? - Because you're good!

'Cause you're the best I've ever seen.

You're better than them.

You start going half ass, everybody's looking at you.

Your times have been really slow this month,

so what are you gonna do about it?

Uh, swim faster?

That'd be a good idea.

And, Sullivan, at the end, I want 20 extra laps.

I'm gonna be late for class. I can't--

No! 20! That's it!

Okay, 20.

You've given me the silent treatment this entire ride here.

You're taking me to a therapist.

How much talking do you want one girl to do?

As much as you want.

Let's not pretend what I want is up for discussion, Mom.

Look, I am not the one who wanted change.

You can blame your dad for that.

Blame. Another lawyer word?

That's right, Lisa, I'm a lawyer.

And I worked really hard to become one.

And I work harder every day to pay for our house,

this car, your clothes.

I thought change was supposed to be a good thing.

Yeah, it's been a blast so far.

Hey, I'm the one who has to pack a bag every weekend.

It's not like I'm in high school,

trying to figure out my life or anything!
