Red Oaks

What are you doing here so early?

I thought you weren't working until later.

I was waiting for you.

Why?

Whoa.

That didn't feel like a "just friends" kiss.

It wasn't.

I don't understand.

I don't either.

This is it.

142 Sycamore.

You think she's in there?

Eh, you wouldn't understand.

You've had those parts removed.

All right.

Wish me luck.

Hello?

Hello?

- Hi. - Hi.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

I'm looking for Sun Hi Lee.

I was told that she lives here.

Oh, she did.

I'm sorry. My information is old.

Do you have any idea where she might have moved to?

Oh, she died two years ago of cancer.

Um, did you know her well?

She was my mother-in-law. Yeah.

Sun Hi had a son. Wow. Okay, okay.

- Who are you again? - I'm sorry. I'm Sam Myers.

I'm an old friend.

Who is it, honey?

Someone who knew your mom.

Hi, I'm Peter Lee. Who are you?

Sam Myers.

How do you know my mother?

We were very friendly a long time ago in Korea.

Ah. Army?

Quartermaster server, Second Infantry.

I was born there.

Is that right?

You have no trace of an accent.

I grew up on an army base.

Oh.

And then we moved to the States when I was seven.

You say, when you were seven?

Yeah.

That's when you and your mom moved here.

That was '63, right?

That's right.

So you were seven, so then you were born in '56.

Yeah.

'Cause I didn't ship out until '53,

and then...

My parents split in '65, after my dad retired from the army.

He lives in Phoenix.

Hi, I'm Sam.

Hi. Peter.

It was really fun.

I'd never been to a comedy show before,

and Margot was hysterical.

Did you guys do anything after?

Um, yeah, we hung out backstage, had a drink.

- And? - And that's it.

You didn't go back to her place?

Well, she asked me to, but I just couldn't.

Not on a second date.

I mean, I know it's 1986 and all,

but I'm just not that kind of girl.

Do you know,

when I was dating Sam,

I think I dated him six months before I would let him touch me

down there?

Well, it's okay to take it slow.

- You think? - Of course.

Okay. Here we go.

Okay.

Hello. I'm Judy Myers. Welcome.

Judy, thank you. I love it.

I'm very interested.

- You have my number. - I will call you.

Please do.

Oh.

This is her at the hospital?

Right before she died.

Pity.

So young.

Yeah.

So she went back to her maiden name after the divorce, huh?

She was pretty pissed at my dad.

So he always had a temper.

For sure.

And by the way, she went by Sunny, not Sun Hi.

She said it was easier for Americans to understand.

Sunny, huh? That's nice.

I like that. Apropos.

Hey, uh, do you know CPR?

No, why?

Stu collapsed in the break room.

How about working a TV camera?

Yeah, yeah. Come on. You're gonna learn. Come on.

Okay, rack focus, rack focus.

Stop doing that. Just rack focus.

Okay, better. A little to the left.

Just hold the camera like you're holding a woman or a wheelbarrow.

You got the hang of it. Good, good, good.

There's no wrong way to get turned on, Valerie.

If your man goes wild for duck waders,

I say find the sexiest pair you can,

strap 'em on and go for it.

Get some reactions. Get those girls.

Their reactions are terrible. Go back to Rhonda.

Our next caller is Ned from Paramus.

Ned, you're on the air.

Hey, Rhonda. Long-time viewer, first-time caller.

What's on your mind, sweetheart?

I just started dating this amazing woman,

who I've had a crush on for, like, ever.

And we made out a few times,

and it's been incredible.

Oh, so what's the problem?

Well, she wants to cook me dinner this Saturday

when her mom's out of town,

and we'll have the place to ourselves,

and I'm just worried that she'll wanna have,

you know, sex.

Oh, worried because your penis is small.

What? No!

- Oh, Rhonda. - I don't think so.

Worried because I don't have a lot of, well, experience.

Oh, are you a virgin?

No, but...

I haven't been with a ton of women,

just, like, a few.

Two.

Or I guess technically one and a half.

Anyway, I'm just afraid that I'll disappoint her.

I'm not really much of an athlete.

Okay, slow push on Rhonda.

- I wanna hear this. - It's called performance anxiety,

and it is very common in young men.

But you have nothing to worry about.

If this girl is a good person,

who is worthy of your love,

she'll be patient with you.

Good advice, good advice. Okay, three-shot now.

Okay, Rhonda.

Uh, thanks.

Bye.

All right, next up is Linda from Teaneck.

Oh, my heartfelt congratulations.

- Twenty-five years with this beauty. - Huh?

Such nachas.

- Aww. - Thank you, Herb.

You're the best.

And Fay, my condolences.

Aww.

- Sweetie? - Hmm?

Think maybe you should slow down a little bit?

I'm having fun.

- Okay. - Hmm?

Herb, what do you hear?

Do I have anything to worry about with this upcoming election?

It's hard to say.

But if I were you,

I would clear up this trial business.

- The sooner, the better. - Yeah.

I'm trying.

What kind of rubbers do you like?

My birthday isn't until April.

Ha-ha, very funny. Come on, be serious.

I don't know. Anything. Trojans. Why?

'Cause I'm meeting Misty when I get off work tonight.

Tonight's the night?

Yep. I've been watching a ton of porn to prepare,

boning up on positions and stuff.

- Sorry, bad choice of verbs. - Another, please.

You know what I mean. Anyways, it's kind of intimidating, porn.

All these dudes are super-fit and have giant dicks.

Mine's average at best, like a B, B-plus.

Just chill. Don't overthink it.

That's not easy, given that I've been thinking about being with Misty

pretty much non-stop since sophomore year in high school.

- Hey. - Hey. You made it.

Barely.

My cab broke down on the GW Bridge.

Did you say hi to your folks yet?

I am gonna need a drink first.

French martini?

French people don't drink martinis.

They will mine. I invented it.

- Let me make you one. - All right.

Hey, I'm sorry about the other night.

- I was in a weird mood. - It's okay.

Did you end up staying late?

Not there. Bunch of us went back to my place,

including that friend of Zan's that teaches life drawing

at the New School.

She offered to critique my work.

- What did she think? - She was pretty harsh.
