00:07:58,395 --> 00:08:01,315
It's Oliver. Rehearsal at his place now?
176
00:08:02,065 --> 00:08:03,901
- Guess I have to go.
- I'll be right behind you.

Wait, Oliver's texting me now.
179
00:08:07,237 --> 00:08:09,865
I am no longer welcome at his apartment.
180
00:08:09,865 --> 00:08:10,908
I am banned?
181
00:08:11,533 --> 00:08:13,827
No investigating during rehearsals?
182
00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:16,079
Whatever. I'm gonna go
check out Ben's penthouse.
183
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:18,332
Lester said that Dickie was
gonna be cleaning it out soon.
184
00:08:18,332 --> 00:08:20,334
You find someone
who doesn't have a hankie.
185
00:08:20,334 --> 00:08:23,337
Find someone who doesn't have a hankie.
I can do that. That's no biggie.
186
00:08:23,337 --> 00:08:24,713
That's a smallie.
187
00:08:24,713 --> 00:08:26,924
That's a very small thing because--
188
00:08:26,924 --> 00:08:29,510
[stammering]
189
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:31,303
I say, "Hey, a thankie for a hankie."
190
00:08:31,929 --> 00:08:33,514
[chuckles] But I'm not gonna do that.
191
00:08:33,514 --> 00:08:36,350
I will find something int--
more interesting to get it.
192
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:38,185
OLIVER: These are the pages?
Why aren't they in order?
193
00:08:38,185 --> 00:08:39,978
Well, they weren't numbered
when you sent them to me,
194
00:08:39,978 --> 00:08:41,772
and most of them are on old takeout menus.
195
00:08:41,772 --> 00:08:44,358
Oh, okay. So, the stuff written
on the appetizers page
196
00:08:44,358 --> 00:08:46,443
goes before the stuff
written on the main courses.
197
00:08:46,443 --> 00:08:48,070
Also, wh-where's Loretta?
198
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:49,446
I left two messages. Nothing.
199
00:08:49,446 --> 00:08:51,782
Well, keep trying, please, Howard.
200
00:08:51,782 --> 00:08:52,783
[Kimber sighs]
201
00:08:53,325 --> 00:08:55,452
This feels weird.
JONATHAN: Why?
202
00:08:55,452 --> 00:08:57,788
Because this production
is littered with red flags,
203
00:08:57,788 --> 00:08:59,248
and we're in our director's apartment
204
00:08:59,248 --> 00:09:01,250
instead of an actual rehearsal studio?
205
00:09:01,250 --> 00:09:03,210
Oh, hey! Hey.
206
00:09:04,253 --> 00:09:06,380
Remember those hankies that Ben gave us?
207
00:09:06,380 --> 00:09:08,006
What if we each found ours
208
00:09:08,006 --> 00:09:10,259
and just showed them to each other?
209
00:09:10,259 --> 00:09:12,261
Or me? Show them to me.
210
00:09:12,261 --> 00:09:14,638
Sorry, we're all a little distracted
211
00:09:14,638 --> 00:09:17,599
with our leading man,
you know, being dead.
212
00:09:17,599 --> 00:09:20,102
Oh, yeah.
Well, that-- that makes sense
213
00:09:20,102 --> 00:09:23,438
because losing anybody is hard.
Well, not anyone.
214
00:09:23,438 --> 00:09:25,440
Not like a Hitler or a Stalin.
215
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,484
Though, I would not want
to diminish the grief
216
00:09:27,484 --> 00:09:29,820
of Mrs. Stalin. And yes,
217
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:32,114
I know she has a name.
218
00:09:32,114 --> 00:09:34,658
Uh... Oh, Nadezhda...
219
00:09:34,658 --> 00:09:36,910
[mispronouncing]
220
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:40,205
Anyway, the point is Ben is dead!
221
00:09:40,205 --> 00:09:43,667
And I think it would be healing for us
to come up with a memorial.
222
00:09:43,667 --> 00:09:45,919
That's why I brought up
those hankies in the first place
223
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:47,588
because wouldn't it be fun--
224
00:09:47,588 --> 00:09:50,048
Oh! Not fun, but good,
225
00:09:50,048 --> 00:09:51,800
to take what Ben gave us,
226
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:56,096
those hankies,
and use them to create a...
227
00:09:57,181 --> 00:09:58,307
quilt.
228
00:09:58,307 --> 00:09:59,892

I sense a great deal
of sadness in this room.
235
00:10:13,113 --> 00:10:15,199
We've lost someone important.
236
00:10:15,199 --> 00:10:17,576
I remember when my mom passed.
237
00:10:18,535 --> 00:10:20,162
Some of you are probably thinking,
238
00:10:20,162 --> 00:10:23,332
"Isn't he too young to
have lost a parent?" I'm not.
239
00:10:23,874 --> 00:10:25,792
I lost her, and it wrecked me.
240
00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:27,961
Big time.
241
00:10:29,213 --> 00:10:31,757
But she kept teaching me from the beyond,
242
00:10:31,757 --> 00:10:33,592

243
00:10:33,592 --> 00:10:35,093
Do you know what she said?

We haven't even rehearsed it,

and there's no choreography.
713
00:31:31,141 --> 00:31:34,019
And, you know,
certainly not a showstopper.
714
00:31:34,019 --> 00:31:35,521
But it is the show.
715
