Life in Pieces

You guys insisted we take our finances seriously,

And renting out the tiny house is the perfect way

for us to pay off our debt.

Uh, where are you two even gonna live?

Our friend Cheese is paying us to house-sit

until he finds what he's looking for in Thailand.

Well, I guess you guys have given this some thought.

We have. Oh, and if you ever want a night away,

we're marketing it as a tiny escape

from your big problems.

Well, my big problem is that my son and his wife

- have a tiny house in my backyard. - Yeah.

Yeah, then this escape might not be for you.

No.

This is IRS Officer Richardson

with final notification against...

Scam call. It's just like that porn site

that started billing us for a membership

we never even signed up for.

Yeah, that was weird.

Someone's in the house.

No, they're not. You always think there's

someone in the house, and there's never anything.

Does anyone live in this house?

Someone's in the house!

Mother...

Hi.

Sorry, I didn't know which of these doors

was the soaking tub.

Who the hell are you?

I'm Mavis.

I'm renting the tiny house.

- Tiny house is outside. - Yeah.

- Unless it rolled away. - Again...

No, it's there. It's so cute.

But the listing said I would have access

to the tub in the main house.

Oh, the listing says that, does it?

Y-Yeah, it should not say that.

Oh, well, maybe you should take that up with the management.

Yeah, the only tub in the house

is in the master upstairs.

Oh.

Oh, thanks. I would tip you,

but I left my wallet in my other towel.

She thinks we work here.

I think I didn't flush.

I cannot believe that you guys

told this woman she could use our tub.

Look, that's just good marketing.

We had to get creative with the listing

to set us apart.

Yeah, Mavis could have rented

any tiny house, but she chose ours.

Yeah, yeah, she did, because you say here

that there is a nightly turndown service.

Who do you think is gonna do that?

Sophia.

What? It said "tips encouraged"

so I took a gamble.

Okay, I cannot believe that you dragged

your little sister into this.

Okay, don't worry, we'll take care of it

and make sure she doesn't bother you again.

Fine.

And?

What?

You're proud of us?

Hello? Can someone help me?

Oh. Mavis...

- Oh, my gosh, what happened? - Hi.

Okay, the sprinkler's shooting directly into the tiny house.

It is like the Titanic in there,

but without a hot guy or an old lady.

- Yeah, 'cause we're in here. - Oh, thanks a lot, Tim.

I've been meaning to tell you that the faucet drips,

but now everything's dripping.

Okay, well, listen, you know what... oh, you're so wet.

Actually, you should call Tyler and Clementine,

because it's their responsibility.

Oh, aren't you the on-site caretakers?

Okay, you know what? This is ridiculous.

I'm calling Tyler.

I'm assuming you're not gonna need

turndown service tonight.

Antarctica...

Oh, my God, it's my mom.

I'm too messed up to talk to her.

- You have to talk to her. - To who?

To my mom.

Tyler. I-I know, I'm your mom.

Oh, shoot, uh, hello?

Tyler, listen. Mavis is here.

She's... hi, yeah. She's soaking wet.

The sprinkler is broken.

You need to come over here and fix this.

Wait, is it water?

Mm, no, it's an energy drink.

Way better for you.

Uh, we, will... we will take care of it.

Okay, so you're-you're coming over here right now?

Yeah.

We are on our way.

Uh, what's the address?

Oh, my God. Are you high?

No, but Clementine is.

I said that you were crying.

Am I?

Where were you last night?

You were supposed to come over and fix the sprinkler.

Yeah. Sorry we missed your call,

we were sleeping.

I-I talked to you.

You said you were on your way over.

I said that?

No, no, he said that.

Ugh!

Guys, come on.

You said you were gonna be responsible for this.

Your dad and I have done everything.

- Yeah. So I fixed the sprinkler. - Yes.

And I moved all the cars so Mavis had a place to park.

And I even turned the tiny house around

so the sun wouldn't shine in in the morning

and wake her up, and I made

three different dinner reservations.

Then I had to highlight a map with directions to Six Flags.

Heather, name all the things you did.

Uh, um... wow.

I'm just saying wow 'cause it's a lot.

- It's that... all of that... - Right.

And then... more.

- Very good. - Thank you.

So, you two

need to get your act together.

Or you and your tenant are gonna be finding

somewhere else to live.

And we will post a no-star review

saying that your little tiny house

is on a burial ground and Sophia has been dead

for ten years.

You wouldn't.

- Yep. - Oh, yeah, we would.

Oh, I feel like

our talk with Tyler and Clem really worked.

They fixed the sprinkler,

and not just, like, threw an outdoor cushion

on it, fixed it all half-assed.

I mean, they, like, really fixed it.

You told me to use the cushion.

Great news. Mavis gave us a five-star review.

- Oh... - Yeah. She said, "You can't beat

their tiny house-pitality."

Well, I am very proud of you two.

Thank you.

Now, was that so hard?

And we're really sorry

about, uh, putting all the responsibility

on you before.

Oh, you two...

Oh, you didn't have to do that.

I mean, you two acting like grown-ups,

that is gift enough.

Let's see what you got us.

Oh, no, no, this isn't a gift,

this is our living room.

We're moving back in with you.

Yeah. Mavis loved our tiny house so much

that she booked it for six months.

Heather, what's happening?

- Come on. - Six months...

Works for me. She tips in cash,

so I don't have to declare anything.

I don't know... we'll be okay.

My art isn't about law or copyright.

It's about not those things.

Well, Erikson, you did infringe

upon the fast food company's logo.

Oh, come on. You cannot own shapes

and letters and creative ways to put them together.

No, you can. Yeah.

That's literally what a logo is.

But, um, the good news is, I got them to drop the case.

How can I ever repay you?

Oh, well, you don't need to repay me,

you just need to pay me.

Can I pay you with a painting?

What?

Money is so passé.

- Art is the currency of the woke. - Uh-huh.

Also, I don't have any money.

Wait, so, like, an original Erikson?

For what you have done for me...

For the people, as a whole, who love me...

I will paint whatever you want.

Wow. Ooh!

Well, paint me excited!

- Bring it down. - Okay.

- Except for birds. - Oh.

Never ask Erikson to paint a bird.
