- Have a good day now.
- Oh my god I'm so sorry.
- No it's okay.
I needed to cool off, i guess I didn't know it.
- Will say you're sorry to the nice lady.
Will, you sprayed her with the hose say you're sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay, really.
- I'm Jessica.
- Hi, I'm Mary.
- When did you move in?
- We bought the house a month ago
but we haven't fully moved in.
I've been here for a couple days.
Just barely in furniture just the boxes I brought
on my drive here.
My husband is in Seattle with the kids
for another week.
They're just finishing up school.
- Oh they must finish late out there.
- Yeah it's a charter school.
- How old are your kids?
- 13 and five.
My, my oldest is from my first marriage,
I was so young.
- Oh.
- I'm from here originally, I grew up here.
Lot of memories.
- I don't mean to pry but why the move back?
- My husband works for a tech company
and they opened up an office downtown.
- Do you still have family here?
- No.
I thought my kids might like growing up in the suburbs,
you know, small town life.
- I sure do.
Do you work Mary or just inside the home.
- I am a freelance writer.
Mostly editorial blog stuff.
- Oh like the huffington post.
- Yeah kinda.
- Will.
- Okay I should get going.
I've got furniture being delivered today,
I should get changed.
- Sorry again about that.
I hope you and your husband
can come over for dinner sometime.
- Yeah.
Yeah that sounds nice.
Okay.
- Welcome to the neighborhood Mary.
- Hi, how's everything? - Hey.

What are they like?
- I can tell she's gonna be real fuckin' nosy.
- Making friends already.
What's her name?
- Jessica.
- Very nice.
- Her son sprayed me with a hose.
- On purpose?
- No not on purpose he's like four.
- Oh well yeah.
- Did you know that we had an ice cream truck?
- Oh great, that's what they need, more sugar.
Well, it'll help with the transition I guess.
- No it was super weird.
Felt like I was in a time warp or something.
Dunno, something about him was so creepy.
- Ew, how was the ice cream?
- No I didn't get anything.
- Well look we've gotta try it
when we get there.
- Eugh, I can't wait for you guys to get here.
- Us too.

What'll it be?
- Um, what do you have?
- Oh we've got it all.

- I'm afraid not.
I'm a purest.
Just regular old ice cream.
Cups, cones and shakes.
No store bought confections here.
- Wow really?
- This is the real deal.
So.
What flavor?
- Uh I don't know.
I usually just get the bars,
I'm not really an ice cream person.
- Well, today's you're lucky day then isn't it?
Time to try something new.
- Can I take a look?
- Sure.
Come on up.
- Rum raisin's my favorite.
- Ew what is that?
- It's probably more of an old fashioned flavor.
But then again I am an old fashioned guy.
- Oh what's this one?
- That's rainbow sherbet.
- Yum.
- There are a lot of choices.
- Oh this one looks good.
- Does it?
- What are you doing?
- Just giving you the personal experience.
- Yeah, no thanks i think I'll just go.

- This isn't quite your scene is it?
- Sure it is.
Just takin' it all in.
- You miss your husband?

find my kids.
- Hey mom.
How's it going?
- Oh it is going.
- Suburbs.
Weird huh?
- Yeah, I forgot how much.

- I can't wait to get outta here.
- Don't be in too much of a rush.
Crazy resides everywhere.
- Yeah right.
- Where are you going to school?

- Another bubble, a bigger bubble.
- Bigger is always better right?
- Not always but you'll figure that out.
- Yeah?
- Not at first but you will.
- Hey have you seen Tracy?
- No.
Not since the best part of my night.
- Come on over here.

- He looks like an uncle.
- Well, to be continued.
Come on uncle west let's get you a nice tall water.

- Well if you want anymore, you know,
just tell me mom you want yard work done.
She'll let me know.
- You're a grass worker.
- Yeah I guess, I guess I am.
See you later Mary.
- I could've sworn i left that light on.
- Good morning Mary.
You're a runner?
- More or less.
- Oh how do you find the time?
- Well my family's across the country
so you can find time for lots of things.
- Ah, so it would seem.
- Oh you know i found this hairpin
on the ground over there.
I think it's um, is it Tracy's?
Max's girlfriend?
- Why do you think it's Tracy's?
- I remember her wearing it the other night at the party.
I dunno I just remember those things.
Okay, uh yeah well hey.
If you see her.
Ask he if she lost a hairpin?
- Okay sure.
How are things going in the house?
- Oh,

You know, I drove down with all these boxes
to set everything up for the kids before they got here but.
- You drove, alone?
- Yeah.
- Weren't you afraid?
- No.
I uh, I was looking for
writing inspiration
and I was listening to these great podcasts.
- Well I hope you were carrying a gun at least.
- No, I don't own a gun.
- Well you need to go get one.
There's a lot of crazies out there you know?
- Yes, yes there are.
Mhm.
Uh anyway, I can't wait for the cable company
to come and hook everything up
because I'm losing my mind in there.
- Yeah.
- And the yard's a total mess.
- Well we know.
- Wait, Max does yard work right?
- Yeah he does.
- No really I need somebody to clean up the yard.
So how would I book him?
- I'll just have him and his friends come by.
- Oh great, thank you.
I'm just so fuckin' tired of doin' yard work.
Sorry, uh sorry.
- 'Kay, well I gotta run,
gotta go get carpool started so.
- See you later.
What is it about the suburbs?
Hi Jessica.
How are you doing this morning?

Your husband coming soon?
- Not soon enough.
Still two more days for me to get into trouble.
- Hi Mary.
I heard you needed yard work.
- Yes, yes I do.
Oh no.
I actually do need yard work.
- Oh, sorry.
- No it's okay.
I'll take that too.
- This is Nick and Joe.
- Hey guys.
- So what did you need done?
- I don't know.
Just the front yard cleaned up a bit.
Lets go take a look.
Yeah it's not too bad.
There's barely any lawn.
I can go check the backyard
and see if there are any weeds to pull.
- That's easy enough.
- How much do you guys charge?
- 100 bucks.
- Hey we'll throw in a little Greens for the deal.
- Alright cool, sounds perfect.
So um,
how's Tracy?
- I don't know.
I haven't heard from her.
She's probably just mad at me.
- Really?
Why?
- Well she won't text me back, she bailed on my party.
- Does she have a reason to be mad at you?
- Eugh, yeah probably.
- He told her he wants to be single in college.
- I'm just bein' honest.
- Yep well there you go.
Uh let me think,
what else can I have you guys do while you're here, um.
Do you guys clean pools?
Just kidding, alright let me check the back.
- Not feelin' it today boys?
- It's too fuckin' hot for this shit man.
- It's called summer.
- Just got a text from brie, I'm outta here.
- What?
- Just take my cut of the money.
- Yeah but that's twice as much work for both of us.
- Gotta get some ass, later dudes.
- Oh thanks a lot.
- Nick, c'mon. - Sorry.
- Where's he goin'?
- What do you call the opposite of a gentlemen caller?
- Oh.
- Hello there young fellow.
- Are you kidding me?
- Am I kidding you about what?
- Uh, your shtick.
- You know, some things in this life are sacred
the ice cream truck being one of them.
Is it so wrong to make it more special for the little kids?
- So what you're always in character?
- I guess you could say that.
So, what'll it be my friend?
Come on up,

- What have you got?
- Beer, vodka.
Wait a second, I can't give you any of that.
- Oh come on spare me, like you didn't drink in high school?

Being around you guys,
it's like a constant reminder of my high school days.
- I bet you were cute.
- Stop it, I am not giving you alcohol.
- Suit yourself mom.
You know technically I'm in college now.
- How about we just smoke some pot.
And then I have to go.

Oh hey.
It's for you.
- Ah thanks, it's exciting.

Come on you're cool and hotter
than most of the girls my age.
- You're bad.
- Am I?
Come on Mary.
- Oh okay, yep.
You are too young to know how to dance like this.
- No I'm not,
I was raised on dancing with the stars.
- Don't remind me.
Okay it's time for you to go trouble.
- Trouble is relative.
- I'm not even gonna respond to that.
- Mary Mary quite contrary.
- Goodbye my friend, maybe in another lifetime.
What?
- I don't have your number.
- Why do you need my number?
- Just in case.
- Just in case what?
- Look you could have mine too,
