All Happy Families

Uh, what are we looking for, again?

Pipe condition.

Obstructions of any kind.

Tree roots can be particularly problematic.

Oh. God, this is like a horror movie.

First floor empty?

-Yeah. -And you live alone?

-Mm-hmm. -That's great.

More people in the house is a ticking time bomb

if you have bad pipes.

Ohh. Look at him.

Jesus. Holy fuck.

I wonder how long that fucker was in there before he died.

Can-- can we just keep the camera moving?

-Oh, no. -What?

Now, this is bad. This is really bad.

-Worse than the rat? -They're Orangeburg pipes.

AKA Bermico pipes.

That sounds awful.

How on earth have these not been replaced already?

I... don't know.

Well, my friend,

that is what's causing leakage in your basement,

right there.

-Not the rat? -Forget the rat.

I will never.

So you just live right upstairs?

Yeah, yeah, if you need anything,

I'm, like, always around.

-Um, yeah. -Yeah.

- There's more, if you wanna-- - Thank you.

-Oh, yeah, we saw it. -You're good? Okay, yeah.

-Yeah, yeah. -Thank you.

Let us all hear from our lady of the hour,

my travel companion to Italy in the spring,

Portugal, and Nepal.

-Everyone's favorite assistant, Sue. -Portugal?

Thank you so much.

I've been with Jerry for 32 years.

Married to Roy for 47.

- It's time for one of them to go.

That is now her new favorite joke.

Maybe it isn't a joke.

You get dimmers.

Dimmers?

You get dimmers. Your rent apartment.

Okay. Thanks, Olga.

Last call for karaoke.

Sue? One song.

-No. -We all wanna hear you sing.

- I think things are winding down. - Come on!

All right. You have a good time?

Oh, it was a great party, Jerry, thank you.

We've put in a lot of years, huh?

I know, right?

What am I gonna do without you?

Not my problem.

-I'm gonna miss you. -Well, I--

I'll be seeing you around.

Well...

-Oh, goodness. All right. -Come on.

-Okay. -Absolutely.

Oh! Jerry.

I--

- A-- All right. - I didn't--

Don't worry about it.

Just-- No, I'm-- I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. - Ohh!

- Are you saying goodbyes? - Yes.

- Just saying goodbye. - We were saying goodbye.

He is gonna miss you so much, Sue.

Oh, he'll be fine.

Well, I better get him home.

Uh, but we'll see you next week?

Next week?

Yeah, you're coming over for dinner,

Roy and I just set it up.

Oh, great.

Okay. Great.

-Jerry, are you okay? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Uh, yeah, we were just saying goodbye.

Okay.

You ready?

Grazie.

- Excuse me. - Mi...

-Mi scusi. -...scusi. Mi scusi.

Check, please.

Uh,

something per favore?

Per favore.

- You Sue Landry? - Oh my, thank you.

Wow, who are those from?

Let's see.

You're welcome.

-Uh, prego. -Prego.

Oh!

Sorry.

-Graham Landry? -Yes.

-Hi. Hey. -Hi.

We've got Graham Landry.

- Hey. - Hi.

Nice to see you.

Nice to be seen.

So, are you willing to shave for this one, Grizzly Adams?

Oh, yeah, sure.

And how's your brother?

- Oh-- - Oh, my God.

-My mom loves his show. -Oh, who doesn't?

Will is such a charmer. And that is a good role for him.

Uh-huh!

Okay. Should we start?

Sure. Uh, I'm reading with you, yes?

- You read-- mm-hmm. - Yeah, okay, great.

I could really use a drink.

They don't serve alcohol. Family establishment.

All the more reason to serve alcohol.

Okay, hold, cut. You know what?

Lose the smile.

We don't like it when men smile too much, right?

-Totally. -I know it seems counterintuitive,

but we just-- we don't trust it.

-It makes sense. -I mean,

I could get into the psychology of it, but it's stupid.

Look, I don't make the rules.

You're just the enforcer.

I didn't mean to smile just there.

Hey.

Hey. Did you go to Mom's retirement party?

No, I couldn't make it.

Oh, yeah, of course not.

You're too busy, right?

Did you rent the apartment yet?

Since you asked yesterday?

-Did you use my name? -Nope.

Have you had a chance to read my script?

Yes, and it's fucking great.

-Let's talk about it. -Oh, hey, uh,

the pipes need replacing.

Oh, no way.

-They're literally crumbling. -How much?

Ten grand. I can get another estimate.

No, Graham, listen to me.

Rent the apartment. No less than 1,800, okay?

And use my name. People watch my show.

Don't even--

Previously, on Winsome Falls...

Hon!

Oh, hey, I can't seem to find those Lawrence Avenue files.

They're in the new storage closet.

Shit. Yeah, of course. Yeah, you told me that.

- Um... - Sue!

- Hang on. - Um...

Hey, did you get those flowers?

Jerry, listen.

Show's on!

All right, I'm gonna let you go.

- All righty then. Uh-- - Okay.

Bye-bye.

Don't call me.

Honey, you're getting older,

but you can't just come and go as you please.

But none of my other friends have curfews.

-Their parents actually... -Why do I watch this show?

Hey, I trust you.

No, clearly you don't.

Katie, what's this really about?

Is it about prom?

No, it's not about prom.

- What? - I feel like

I'm forgetting Mom's face.

People forget.

I just-- I don't wanna forget.

All you have to do is look in the mirror,

and mom will be there, looking right back at you.

I love you, Dad.

I love you. So much.

Let's go get some ice cream.

- Sure. - Okay.

Hey, sorry, I know it's early,

but I was hoping to see the apartment.

Dana Allen?

Graham Landry!

Hey!

Wow. Wow.

I-- Well, yeah, come-- Come on in.

I mean, that is, if you still wanna see the place, now that you know--

Oh, that the landlord's an asshole.

-Yeah. -Yeah, okay. Yeah, sure. Why not?

-Oh, my God, you're a chef. -Yeah.

Did I even know that? Where do you work?

Station House, for now.

Yeah, I've been meaning to get over there.

It's overpriced.

When was the last time I saw you?

Hmm.

The floors squeak.

How long have you lived here?

Uh, pretty much forever.

My parents moved out of the city ten years ago,

and me and my brother bought the place.
