Familiar Touch

Hm.

- May I? - Oh, of course. Thank you.

Great.

Hmm.

Oh.

Thank you.

So, how're you feeling?

I feel great.

Are you sleeping okay?

Yes...

Good. Good, good.

What does it concern you how I sleep?

So...

Steve.

Steve!

- Sorry. - It's okay.

Steve. Of course.

What do you do?

Uh...

- Well, I'm an architect. - An architect! That's great.

In a destructive world,

the ability to build things is a very important gift.

Mm.

My father builds homes. He's a carpenter.

Maybe you'll meet him someday.

- I'd like that. - Mm.

So, after lunch, uh, we're going to go...

A surprise.

Yeah, uh, a surprise.

Uh, we're going to both, uh...

Don't tell me! You'll ruin it.

Right.

Don't you like your food? It's my signature sandwich.

It's great. I'm, uh, savoring it.

Mm.

So...

uh, are you seeing anybody special?

I would consider my wife fairly special.

Oh.

Oh, well, doesn't matter.

I'm married, too.

Oh.

Seymour?

Yes!

Do you know him?

We've met.

Oh. I didn't realize.

So, what are you working on now?

Oh, uh...

I am building a house that generates its own energy.

It's called sustainable architecture.

We use wind and solar energy to power the building.

Wow!

Sounds Godlike, harvesting the elements.

I'm more of a demigod, I guess.

Mortal...

and...

demigod.

How will we get along?

Okay, well, uh, it's time to go.

Oh.

- I'll take this. - Okay.

Okay, then.

Huh.

FAMILIAR TOUCH

I left my jacket inside, I'll be right back.

Okay.

Okay.

You packed a bag.

Yeah.

If I'd known, I'd have prepared--

That's-- It's okay.

You won't need anything else.

Is this a...?

Um...

Give me a sec.

Good afternoon, sir. Checking in?

- Yes, hi. Goldman. - Goldman?

Okay. Here we are.

I'll get the...

Okay...

Okay.

I'll put this over here.

Okay.

- Do you wanna sit? - Yeah, sure.

Alright, why don't you wait here and I'll go check in.

- I'm just going to look it over. - Sure.

Vanessa, come to the front, please.

- Everything's the same? - Yes.

- Hi. - Hi.

I'm Steve Goldman.

Pleasure. Vanessa.

So I brought her.

Everything went fairly smoothly.

That's good.

Well, we've got her room all set up and it looks great.

I think you should just know that we've got it from here, okay?

Great, I appreciate that.

Mom, this is Vanessa.

Hi, Ruth.

It's great to meet you.

Mom?

Welcome to Bella Vista.

I'm going to show you around and get you settled in.

You're going to be staying here now, Mom.

Mom?

Yes.

You are my mom.

No.

No, I didn't want kids. I'm not a mother.

It-- It's okay, Mom.

You don't have to have any more kids.

I'm all grown up now.

Look, I know this is difficult. Um...

Maybe we can just go and see your room.

Uh, Vanessa will take us there.

I don't know if you remember this,

but we've been here before, Mom.

We came on a tour.

You said you wanted to be here if you needed extra care.

You chose this place.

Don't stay.

- Mom, please... - Don't be a witness!

I just want to know that you're going to be okay.

No, darling, don't be like that.

How do you want me to be?

I would like you to be unconcerned.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm gonna go.

I love you, Mom.

I'll see you soon.

Ready?

Ready.

We're almost there.

Your room-- Your room's right down this way.

Mom?

Mom?

Hi, how you doing?

I'm going to help you to get dressed for the day.

Here I come. Are you ready to get dressed?

There you go.

Here we are.

This is...

you.

Here we are.

Can I help you unpack your suitcase?

I can do that, thanks.

Okay.

Is he coming back?

Steve?

That man.

I'm sure he'll be back soon.

But you don't know when.

I'm not sure when exactly

but I know it'll be soon.

How about we find some places to put your belongings?

We're just going to take this step by step, okay?

- Where shall we put these? - Excuse me!

May I please have a moment alone?

I-I appreciate your help,

but I'm not one of those elderly people

you have to watch constantly.

Of course.

I know you're not.

I'll be right outside

whenever you're ready.

There's one here.

Excuse me.

I don't want to bother you, but could I look at a menu?

We'll be right with you, sweetie.

If you could just hang tight a moment longer, okay?

Did you hear what happened to Ana at Mar Vista?

No, what happened?

They fired her.

One of the residents on her floor got out.

No, seriously?

Yeah.

- What's this? - These are your pills.

- They should help you feel better. - I feel fine.

Oh. Well, good for you.

I don't want to take anything I don't need.

Blood thinner, so you don't get any blood clots.

This is for high cholesterol.

Multivitamin.

Calcium support to keep strong bones.

And this...

is to help with memory loss.

It's also a multivitamin.

Placebo.

Come on. Help me out here.

They won't kill you.

Thank you.

Well, thanks for the eggs, but I didn't order them.

- That's not how this works. - How does it work?

It's not a restaurant. That's downstairs only.

But if you want something special,

I can make you something. Anytime you want.

Then what is it?

It's the dining room.
