Those Left Behind

- Am I gonna see you this weekend?

I don't know, mom.

- Noah told me he's really excited about coming up.

He is

with me.

Shelly,

it's been 25 years.

Wow!

I love this house.

Is this you?

Mom?

Uh, let's put it down, guys,

your grandparents are still asleep.

Sorry.

So, where are we sleepin'?

- Lauren is sleeping in the guest room,

just down the hall on the right.

Thank you.

Sleep well.

You too.

Me?

Downstairs, front room.

- Right. - - Hm.

Sleep well.

Jaime!

Jaime!

Jaime!

I'm tired, shel.

Jaime!

Jaime!

Mm, when did you get in?

Dawn.

Hey, let me help you.

Sure,

- oh, thank you, sweetheart. - - Is it okay here?

- Careful. - - Mm hm.

You can have coffee, right?

They didn't say I couldn't.

Alright, then you can.

Is there pain at the incision site?

- No pain, just itches a little bit.

Oh.

Who's covering the practice?

My partner,

I do it for her all the time.

Hm.

- How come we never sold this place, mom?

Your father wanted to.

I never did.

How's dad?

Himself.

He took a fall yesterday while he was on his run.

Is he okay?

- What time do you think Noah and his girlfriend'll get up?

Never, unless we wake them up.

You hungry?

How 'bout some oatmeal, keep the arteries clean?

- I'd rather have pancakes and syrup.

We'll see about that.

Alrighty then.

Daddy look!

Ooh, nice work.

There's a couple lumps right there,

I'd get rid of those guys.

Oh, okay.

Can I do it now?

You'll ruin it.

How do you ruin batter?

I'm sorry, sweet pea,

let your kid brother have a shot, alright?

Oh, are those pancakes?

- Noah, these are for your grandmother.

Come on!

What,

here, why don't you bring these to her?

Uh, sure.

- Okay, don't forget to introduce Lauren.

I'd introduce myself if he forgot.

Hey.

Yeah.

- I made some pancakes, you want some?

I'm an oatmeal guy.

- Yeah, but the oatmeal's from 2003.

So?

Is your, um, foot cramping?

Sorry?

- You have a cramp, is your foot cramping?

Ah, it happens after I run.

- Well, it's probably uh referral pain, you know,

it's probably from somewhere else,

maybe your calves are tight.

Maybe my feet are just old.

Uh,

mom told me you fell.

- Oh, your mother never could keep a secret.

It's not a secret, dad,

you have this big bandage, let's see.

It's nothing.

Where's Noah?

- He took mom the pancakes I just made her.

Pancakes?

She just had heart surgery, Shelly!

- Why can't I be in the stern, daddy?

Because you need to learn how to steer first.

I know how to steer.

- Oh, you know how to steer, huh?

- Mm hm. - Show me your j stroke.

No, you gotta dig in like this, uh!

Just like that.

That's what I did!

- Yeah, but this time when you do it,

put a little more back into it.

My arms are tired.

We just got out here.

- This is stupid, we're not going anywhere.

Show me your sweep,

maybe we'll get somewhere.

I'm hungry.

Okay, I give up,

let's go in.

What's your sport?

Lacrosse.

Hm.

She's good.

- Well, lacrosse is the way I'm paying for college.

Oh, what do you wanna study?

Sports medicine.

I'll bet you'll be good at it.

Thank you.

Love this house,

the lake and everything.

I've always loved this house.

- I would stay here every weekend if I could.

- Me too, my mom would never take me.

- Noah, did you eat your grandmother's breakfast?

I had plenty.

Kinda still hungry.

I haven't eaten at all.

- We're gonna need some food in this house.

- Alright, I'll go get something.

You guys stay and uh,

help your grandmother.

Shelly!

Humor me.

I'll get some new flowers too.

Uh, grandma,

sure you're supposed to be doing that?

- Probably not, but it's never stopped me before.

Go find your grandfather, he can't wait to see you.

Alright.

Hey, grandpa!

- Oh, I didn't recognize you there

for a moment.

This is my girlfriend, Lauren.

- Oh. - Hi.

Pleased to meet you.

You too.

Hey,

what happened to that wrist?

- Bah, you should see the other guy.

Are you all right?

Ah, right as rain.

What's that stuff?

Stuff?

This, Noah, is fishing gear.

You ready to fish?

- Uh, sure. - Yeah?

I guess, yeah.

- Well, then, get your fishin' clothes on.

Fish wait for no one.

- Wait, you put those blankets away, right?

Yeah.

Okay.

Oh!

Come on.

Alright, yeah.

Noah, this is...

uh ho, I like that!

That was pretty nice.

You got the full arm there.

Okay, your turn.

Oh, not so much. -

it hit the fence down there.

- It hit the tree, and then it hit the fence.

Oh, oh my gosh!

That's not funny.

If I go down, you're coming down with me.

It is pretty funny.

Uh ho, I like that!

That was pretty nice.

You had the full arm there.

Jaime, where are you?

Jaime!

What are you doing?

Hiding.

From who?

Dad.

Why?

He wants me to fish.

I hate fishing.
