I am, really.
It's just she's been the focus for a while.
Not the focus.
You know what I mean.
To tell you the truth...I'm excited.
You are...
To get my life back. To have some time for myself. Some time for us.
You did a great job. She's a good kid.
We did.
It's just us now.
I know.
Tired?
Nope.
Wanna fool around?
Yup.
Did you...
Shhh.
And we moved out here for the quiet.
Mmm.
Maybe we should just...
Tomorrow.
I'm finished at three. No. Squash with Stan.
After that.
I'll be there.
Of what?
Of him I think.
Did she say that?
More or less.
Honey, they're young. They're probably newlyweds.
I'm telling you. There was something in her voice...
Remember how we were?
Not like this. We were never like this. I want to go over there. After dinner, we can
Why?
To make sure she's all right.
Claire, honey, we are not going to march next door and accuse our new neighbor of

But what if something happens?

Nothing's going to happen. Besides, I have to work tonight. The conference is in less than two weeks. I've got to stay focused on that for just a little longer. This is...
I know.
It's what I've been working for.
I just wish you could have heard her.
Look, I'll call Harvey Tomes in the Psych department, see what I can find out.
Promise?
Norman, you have to look at this!
Mmnph.
Hurry...
Nothing. There was...I thought I saw something.
Is it gone?
Hi.
I'm stuck here for another couple of hours.
Oh.
Unless you need me to come home...
No, no. It's fine.
Claire?
Huh? Absolutely. Take your time.
What are you doing here?
There were some noises. I didn't want to disturb you.
What do you mean? Some noises where?
In the house. I was scared.
Did you call the police?
No. Can you drive me home? I'll bring you back in the morning.
Of course.
It was there. This angry music all by itself. And I heard whispering.
What kind of whispering?
I don't know. Just...whispering.
I've got the conference next week. I want you to feel safe.
I do, I do. I'm sure I'm just...how was your day?
Think I may have cracked it.
Really?
I think so. Maybe.
You are so brilliant.
Yep.
Madame Curie, Jonas Salk, Norman Spencer...
You know what that does to me.
Ohmigod. You'll never believe...I saw Schumway...
You're kidding.
He's here giving some arcane spiel for the physics department, so Bob Shine introduces us...
Wow.
And he says...you'll fucking love this, he says, "Doctor Spencer, I am a great admirer of your work..."
Well, that's nice.
"...especially Spencer's Theorem..."
Oh, no...
"...of Perpetual Distances." Everybody's checking their shoelaces. Pins drop. "I'm afraid you've mistaken me," I say...
That's...
"...for my father."
I'm so sorry.
Didn't know he was dead, every stinking paper on the globe.
That's just mean. Oh. Jody wanted to know if I could get her some.
Did you tell her?
What? No. No.
You didn't?
Norman, you are so funny about that. No, I didn't.
Sorry. You understand.
Did you call about the Feurs?
Oh, right. Yes. Harvey says the guy's a sweetheart. Wouldn't hurt a fly.
Huh.
Get down! He'll see.
