"You're gonna be my little nurse." "I have a lot of work to do, and I just can't do it here." "I can help you with that, just come on." "I mean, that's-- I know, bring-- I'll bring food." "No, please don't leave me alone with my thoughts." "Maura:" "and I'll be back." " Bye." " Okay." "Love you." "Love you, too." "Josh:" "How was your room?" "Shea:" "Well, I'm pretty sure I didn't get bedbugs." "Oh, congrats." " Are you hungry?" " Yeah." "Yelp says there's a diner with a strong waffle game about a mile up." "What makes a strong waffle game?" "Well, honestly, uh, you know, a waffle is just a delivery system for the butter and the syrup, so I'm gonna go with the butter and the syrup." "[laughs]" "I've never actually called out before today." "Whatever." "If he fires me, I'll just go somewhere else." "It's not like there isn't a million places I can go dance." "It's kind of like being a nurse." "I" " I'm pretty sure what you do is a little more interesting than that." "It's actually way less crazy than everyone thinks." "It's mostly just sad guys with cocaine problems." "Sounds like the music business." "Come on, you guys probably sit in swivel chairs, and eat ice cream sandwiches all day." "We do not." "We sit in swivel chairs and drink coconut water all day, okay?" "[chuckles]" "I like coconut water." "Me, too."

"All right." " Did it sound good?" " Sounded great." "The best ever." " Oooh." " [laughing]" "Oh." "This is some camera." " Yeah." " How much did it cost?" "Uh... a little over a thousand bucks." "Look, Shell, this is prosumer." "With a couple of good lenses, we can compete with movies in theaters." "Well, I don't see why we couldn't have just borrowed a camera from Sarah and Len." "They got that really nice one for Zachary's bris." "A few years ago, but still" "I mean, and I thought that trial take that we did on my phone," "I thought that looked really great." "Babe, this is an investment in you." "You deserve this." "You deserve this." "[typing]" "Buzzy, sweetheart, I don't want to be a noodge, but, uh, you've racked up a lot of electronics on my credit cards recently, and I don't want to max them out and pay a lot of interest." "Relax, babe, I got a system." "Yeah, what system?" "I enrolled you in a points program." "It's free to join and everything you buy gets you points." "And then we return the stuff, keep the points." "All these points are good for travel." "It's amazing more people haven't figured it out." "What if this stuff gets damaged and I'm stuck with it?" "I'm not an amateur, Shell." "It's just so complicated." "You know what?" "I" " I can't stand to see this-- this long face." "Come here, come here." "Wait!" "What are you doing?" "I'm gonna let you in on my-- on my little surprise." "I'm working up to a big reunion, and I almost have enough points with everything we've got." "A big reunion with what?" "Cruise tickets for the entire family." "Really?" "Oh, my" "There's that beautiful smile." "Oh, G" "Don't move." "[laughing] [laughing]" "Give me your glasses." "Take my glasses, babe."

"Please tell me that he pays rent, at least." "He's paying you rent." "You're not taking care of him, are you?" "Oh, that is a very sexist thing to say." "If I were an older man, and he was a booby blondie, nobody would think twice about my supporting him." "Would they?"
