Wowie, wowie.
Ring the bell. The queen is home.
You walk over here like this
and no one beat the fuck out of you?
You don't think that's a little meshuggeh?
Actually, I'm-- I'm fine.
I have the transvestite pass.
No one can arrest me.
I am protected by the city.
It actually says there that I'm not meshuggeh.
What's transvestite? That's like faigele, right?
No. Me. I'm-- I'm a transvestite.
You look like Aunt Esther in this.
Magnus had the city issue them to all of us.
Who's Magnus? He's your gay lover?
- Uh, no. Uh, Magnus-- - I mean, not my gay lover.

You know, Ma, if you got out more often,
then you might not hate Berlin so much.
It's actually quite a lovely city.
I think it's a fantastic city.
If it wasn't for all the Germans living in it,
it would be great.
Chosa, I was hoping tomorrow morning
you would teach me how to use the U-bahn
like you've been saying.
I'm afraid of the turnstile
because I've been hearing nonstop
about how it's been breaking women's pelvises.
Did you hear about Sheila's sister?
She had to give birth through her face.
So stay home tonight,
and tomorrow you can finally teach me--
I'm actually-- I can't tomorrow morning.
When are you coming home, huh?
I'm going to stay with--
I'm going to stay with Gittel.
Stay here tonight, Chosa, please.
Stay-- Chosa, stay here.
Stay here with Mommy.
Bye, Mommy.

Well, so far for me, the hardest thing about the Jewish New Year
by far is that I keep writing 5775 on my checks.
I'm pretty sure you used that same joke in 5774.
Okay.
I don't want to start a whole thing,
but I'm keeping a little bit in my head
just about the--
the talk. The whole polyamory idea
is freaking me out.
Don't-- That's the wrong word.
It's not about other people at all.
It's about me and you.
It's about how incredible this is

and expanding and getting closer and closer to that,
and I know that I will just start shutting down

A month? Is that hard for you to think about?
A whole month with me or a week?

I'm not going to the festival,

So figure it out.
I don't know where I belong here,

Well, there's a lot, you know.
We have a variety of opportunities.
Uh-huh.

It's mostly suicidal teens.
Wow. That's important.
Yeah. And, you know,
the people who do it, the Life On Uppers,
they go through a rigorous training program.
Mm. Is the graveyard shift the only opening?
We don't call it the graveyard shift

Hi.
Hey.

Let me take you to your Uber, babe.

You know, I kind of guess
that Leslie harbors a little disdain
for the aging female body.
So it seems like the age gap
just keeps getting bigger.
I mean, the girls, they just--
they keep getting younger?
Well, like, Leslie keeps getting older,
and they all stay 21.

Now, the base model on this one starts at 39.5.
So, right off the bat,
what's the lowest you can go?
Just no fucking around.
Um...I might be able to swing, uh, 38.
- No. - But that's really--
That's as low as I can go without losing my job.
38? Okay.
Uh, where you from?
Encino. You?
Pacific Palisades.
Really?
We got two Cali boys here.
- Two Cali boys! - There we go.
That's what I'm talking about.
What can you do for a fellow Angelino?
Because I think you can do better than 38.
I know you can do better than 38.
I-- I really can't.
Like 32.
[snapping fingers]
Okay.
That's physically not possible.

Isn't that Leslie woman there?
Yeah, but that's exactly why I don't want to go by myself.

No. I, uh, I invited him,
but he's still a little depressed.
Yeah. So am I.
I thought Raquel was going to be my sister-in-law.
- It's awful. - It's tragic.
We all thought it was gonna work out differently.
Is that a margarita machine?
Yes, Buzzy bought it for me.
- Hi, Buz. - Hey, girls.
Wow, a new grill.
Yes, he bought that for me, too.
He loves his meat.
I love his meat.
Oh, Mom, ew.
Can I get one of these?
Yeah, in a minute.
I made the plates too small.
I have to do with my finger.
Did he move in?
He lives on a houseboat on Lake Havasu,
and the commute was getting to be too much,
so he has a drawer.
I don't know how to work this yet. Here.
Oh, a yellow watermelon. This is very exotic.
I knew you'd like that.
Thanks for bringing this.
I wonder if this is an aphrodisiac.
Whoo, I hope so.
I just feel like no one understands me.
Well, I felt like that,
and I know what you're saying.
You know, there's always darkness before the--
the storm? Dawn?
And I'm dead.
- This is hard. - I know.
It's really hard.
I know. It's okay, though.
You just have to get in there
and intercept what they're feeling.
They're-- They're about to harm themselves.
You have to keep them from harming themselves.
Okay.
- Okay? - Yeah.
This is harder than I thought.
[writing]
I've had those thoughts.
This is you.
Oh, my God.
Suicide and--
Sometimes I just feel like it would be easier
is I just wasn't here.
When was this?
Uh, freshman year of high school,
sophomore year-- Hmm.
All of high school and into college.
Pretty much until about three years ago
when, uh, I don't know.
I guess I still have my days.
Still?
Now you listen to me.
If you ever have those thoughts,
you call me, all right?
I mean, even the slightest thought like that,
I mean, really, you call me
because I'll come over,
and I'll tell you how fantastic and wonderful
and unique and what a gorgeous soul you are
and what a crappy, fucked-up world
this would be without you.
Do you understand me?
You're such a good mom.
Okay, who likes them bloody?
- Ooh! - Let's go, let's go.
- They're perfect. - Wow.
That is a lot of meat.
A lot of meat.
Does that say something?
An artist always signs his work.
Wow. "Buzzy meat."
Yeah, yeah. It's from Sky Mall.
They have all kinds of nifty gadgets there.
Do you want one? I can get you one.
Okay, everybody, you are looking...
at the new president of the condo board.
- Wow. - Yeah, hurray.
It was a landslide victory.
- But guess what. - What?
After the first meeting,
I wanted to quit.
Yeah. Sitting around listening to a bunch of alte kochers
talk about what color they should paint the facackteh speed bumps.
[speaking Yiddish]
So Buzzy says to me--
So I told her you need to do what you want in this life,
not what you feel like you should be doing.
Just quit.
- Just quit. - Just quit.
So you quit after the first meeting?
Yes. Tell them about the cruise.
I'm taking your mother on a five-day Alaskan cruise.
Five days. And you know what?
If you look in the brochure,
there is a picture of a buffet--
you know the raw bar buffet--
with clams, oysters,
uh, sh-shrimp the size of your arm,
and-- and-- and scallops the size of footballs.
And it's all-- it's all for free.
Okay, you know what? I got to go wash my hands.
- Ali: Yeah, I got to pee. - Where are you going?
- What is going on? - I don't know.
What is that person?
I don't understand.
That's a plant.
These aren't real.
- Yes, it is. - No, it's not.
It's real, and it's alive.
Oh, my God. She's--
she's fucking watering plants?
There's a clean faucet.
She's in limerence.
It is so clean in here.
She's in limerence.
She's in what?
Limerence.
What's limerence?
Puppy love, early days.
It makes you clean your cabinets?
She got a bidet.
Oh, my God, I love those things.
It's so clean and neat and organized.
These are, like, $500.
I guess Buzzy likes his taint cleaned.
It's got pulsate, oscillate--
Where is all the shit?
...high, medium, low.
Cold, hot.
Where's my Kleenex cozy I made for her
in fifth grade? I can't--
- [water gushing] - [gasp]
Oh, my God.
She threw away my needlepoint Kleenex cozy?
Mom!
This is so warm and wet.
Als. Als, close the door.
What?
Close the fucking door.
I gave it all to the Hadassah League.
I got rid of all those boxes
of moldy clothes and toys in the garage, too.
I-- I can breathe.
Mama, my artwork was in those boxes.
What artwork?
All my old artwork
from my freshman year at Bard.
My-- My paintings and my collage
and my video pieces.
Buzzy says
that if you hold an item in your hand
and it doesn't give you joy,
you should get rid of it.
I didn't want to be like one of those hoarders on television.
See?
Jesus, Mom.
Everything is gone.
You didn't want to keep anything, Mom?
Nothing?
None of the artwork I made for you as a kid?
What about the painting of you holding that baby?
That painting did not give me joy.
It was very unattractive. I looked so angry.
Whose baby was that anyway?
It was a symbolic baby, Mom. It was a painting.
Well, anyway, I've been telling you kids
to come pick up your stuff for months.
- Uch. - I am not a storage facility.
Your father is the one with the enormous house.

Not really. My--
our mom threw out all of our stuff,

Could you be a little gentle, please? Just--
- Sorry. - Thank you.
Good hunting.
Okay. Thanks.
You know, I could have been a painter.
Probably should have been a painter.
My teacher said I had unusual raw talent.
Someone gave their Bible away.

I'm losing faith
