Mother, Couch!

Mom!

Oh yes...no, not always.

I mean I have a cooker,

I used to kick it.

I mean I had to kick it, just to make it work.

But what are you gonna do?

Did you find it?

The dresser?

- No. - Oh...

- Hi! - This is Bella.

Oh hi, look Gruff, I don't have much time...

Running the place for 30 years now,

can you believe it?

Not me, it's a family thing.

- My dad and his brother run it now. - Oh, okay.

- Where's Mom? - I can show you around if you want.

It's really a neat space.

- That'd be great... - No, that's fine, thanks.

Great.

- C'mon... - I don't have the time to...

- Let's go and see the shop. - No!

My papa wanted to re-create suburban living as much as possible in '87...

Kinda like IKEA sort of thing?

I've never been to IKEA.

He figured that people would connect more to it,

than if he'd just set it up normally.

It's beautiful. This is great.

Dave!

Dave, have a look at this space.

I mean it's incredible, the details, it's fantastic.

- Papa wss so good at that. - Yeah.

He made people feel real connection.

- Let me show you upstairs. - Thank you, thank you.

Dave, come through.

You know, we actually have plenty of cases

where clients stayed over night.

To Papa, it was a testimony he did something right, you know?

Okay. That'd be nice.

We actually encourage them to leave though.

You can easily get confused in a place like this.

- What an entrance! - It's so big, you know?

Oh, wow!

I feel at home.

Well, feel free to stay if you want.

Oh, thank you.

What were you looking for anyway?

I'm looking for a Bennet. I think it's a dresser.

Some type...

I don't know about a Bennet.

We're officially closed.

We just went out of business unfortunately.

Oh, no, I'm really sorry to hear that.

No, it's fine, we go in and out of business all the time.

Oh really?

Are you ready to leave Mom?

EAhm, I'll leave you to it.

Give me a shout. I'll be downstairs.

I'm not coming, David.

Why? Are you alright?

I'm fine, I'm...

I'm just not going with you.

Ahmm...

Can you go upstairs and check on Mom?

Did she find something?

Yes, she did actually. A couch.

A couch?

- Wait, the big green one? - Yeah.

What brand?

It's Viridi.

- That's a premium bed, really. - Oh, really?

She always had good taste. I mean there was this time...

Can you just go and check on her, Gruff?

What, now?

Yeah.

Fine.

So you're 48?

Huh?

How old are you?

Oh, forty-eight.

Huh!

That's Gruff, my older brother. He's fifty-five.

Married.

Wow, he looks a lot younger.

And that's your mom up there?

Eighty-two.

God, I'm sorry.

I mean my grandpa was 82 when he passed.

Oakbed Furniture. Bella speaking.

What did she say to you?

She said she wanted to stay.

And you?

Same.

Then you are in the right place: model 2000, let go of your mother...

You think she's hungry?

No, I don't.

I am though.

- Hello? Yeah? - Hey, where are you?

Oh yeah, we're on the way now.

Great, do you have the cake?

What the fuck?

Manolo's just called and said you haven't picked it up yet.

They got concerned.

Yeah, actually, I'm actually...

I'm getting them.

I could also bring some...

I could also bring some Chinese food if you like.

Thank you...

No, I don't need Chinese food, I need you to come to the party, please.

Hey, Lincoln!

No!

Alright, well listen, I...

Did you hear anything?

About what?

From?

Did you not go up and check on her?

I got you some food, Mom.

What do you say we just eat and then...

And then we're gonna leave, okay?

I know what's going on.

Do you?

Because I'm pretty sure I don't know...

Did you pay them?

Did I pay who for what?

For the couch?

Do you want the couch? Is that what it is?

We can maybe get you the couch.

We can...

There's some really nice stuff downstairs

that we could check out also.

Huh.

Look, we can't just stay here...

Gruff and I, we gotta go, you know?

Your brother sounds like he's doing very nicely with that little lady downstairs.

Jesus Christ, Mom!

Mom!

You gotta help me out here.

What's happening?

Hmm?

Ah, there you are...

There you are!

Look, it'll be nice.

I'll drive us there, and we can have some cake.

And then I'll drive us home.

Hmm?

The kids haven't seen you in so long. They really miss you.

Well, I'm not too sure I miss them.

Here, I want to give you this.

I wanted to give it to you before, actually.

If I can get it out.

There.

What is that?

Do I need this?

It wouldn't be right to give it to anyone else.

Well, where does it go?

The dresser.

I'm sure you'll find it.

Gruff...

Yeah?

What do you know about this dresser?

No more than you.

Cherry or dark oak, I think.

Ivory top, I think.

Ivory?

Marble?

I think we should find it.

Is there something wrong?

Do you think we should call Linda?

- Huh? - Yeah...

I think we should call Linda.

Is she coming?

Oh, ahh...

I don't know.

They don't serve anyone. They don't care for these support dogs.

not even if it's

a chihuahua, he says to the blind man.

And the blind man says: "What?"

"They got me a chihuahua?"

Ahm.

So here's what we'll do...

Mom, why don't I drive us home?

And then Gruff and I will stay with you for the whole rest of the day.

- Won't we Gruff? - Yeah, sure, if that's what you want.

Hmm?

Mom, we're gonna have to carry you out of here

if you don't wanna leave by your own...

Oh, good luck with that!

As soon as you grab my arms and legs, I'll throw myself all around...

And I'll bite you and I'll kick you...

And if you get as far as the stairs,

I will fall and hit my head so hard it'll burst!

Oakbed Furniture, Bella speaking...

You don't want that, do you, David?

Gruff!

Gruffudd!

Yeah?

Someone's on the phone for you!

Oh, if you'll excuse me.

Gimme the phone.

Gimme the phone, you little stinker!

Okay, here's Gruff.
