00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:10,Hat and noisemaker.

00:00:11,380 --> 00:00:12,Hat and noisemaker.

00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:13,Hat and noisemaker.

00:00:14,140 --> 00:00:17,All right, now remember, if you're
assisting someone with their party hat,

00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,please put yours on first and then help
them with theirs. All right.

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,Okay, everybody get ready. And remember,
when Adam gets here, you have to

00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,scream... Surprise!

00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:27,You've been practicing.

00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,I didn't know Adam had this many
friends.

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,Yeah, I invited a whole bunch of people
we went to college with. Some of these

00:00:33,660 --> 00:00:35,people haven't seen Adam in ten years.

00:00:35,420 --> 00:00:36,I remember college.

00:00:37,220 --> 00:00:40,Punching in at eight, stripping that
wire, putting together those air

00:00:40,340 --> 00:00:41,conditioners.

00:00:41,580 --> 00:00:44,Doesn't really sound like college, Joe.
It sounds like a job at a factory.

00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,Huh. That would explain why my dad was
so happy to see my report card every two

00:00:48,220 --> 00:00:49,weeks.

00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,Here comes Paige. Everybody get ready.
Hi, hi.

00:00:55,530 --> 00:00:57,Hey, where's Adam? He's parking the car.

00:00:57,770 --> 00:00:59,I'm not sure we should do this. He is
really depressed.

00:01:00,530 --> 00:01:03,It's just his usual pre -birthday funk.
Believe me, this party is going to pull

00:01:03,490 --> 00:01:07,him right out of it. No, no, it's
different this time. He is re -examining

00:01:07,570 --> 00:01:08,entire life.

00:01:08,570 --> 00:01:10,He took me through it year by year.

00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:13,I wouldn't wish his early 80s on anyone.

00:01:13,850 --> 00:01:17,Wait till you see his face when he looks
at all his old college friends. Believe

00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:18,me, this will really make his birthday.

00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:22,Some days I wish I'd never been born.

00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:23,Surprise!

00:01:32,170 --> 00:01:33,what I tell you.

00:01:37,750 --> 00:01:42,Okay, I g***t coffee and birthday cake and
somewhere else to be. Let's move it

00:01:42,530 --> 00:01:43,along. Come on.

00:01:46,030 --> 00:01:48,So, Kate, it's great to see you. What
have you been up to?

00:01:48,770 --> 00:01:51,Well, I g***t my M .D. and then I started
a free clinic in Venice.

00:01:51,950 --> 00:01:52,That's great.

00:01:52,990 --> 00:01:53,Really great.

00:01:53,890 --> 00:01:54,No greater than this bookstore.

00:01:55,230 --> 00:01:56,Congratulations, Ellen. This is
terrific.

00:01:57,150 --> 00:01:59,Oh, thanks, but I can't take all the
credits. Came in a big kit.

00:02:02,410 --> 00:02:05,Adam and Ellen, I can't believe you guys
are still living together.

00:02:05,530 --> 00:02:06,I mean, ten years?

00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:08,Twelve, actually.

00:02:08,530 --> 00:02:09,You include college.

00:02:09,750 --> 00:02:11,Hey, you know the picture I have of you
two guys?

00:02:11,530 --> 00:02:16,Sitting on the sofa every night, eating
pizza, and bickering over a noise that

00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:17,Adam made with his lips.

00:02:19,650 --> 00:02:20,That's the one.

00:02:22,190 --> 00:02:23,Okay, cut it out.

00:02:24,770 --> 00:02:26,Oh, that seems like a million years ago.

00:02:27,070 --> 00:02:28,Eh, give or take a million.

00:02:29,230 --> 00:02:31,That's what's so great about you, Adam.
You haven't changed a bit.

00:02:32,330 --> 00:02:34,I mean, you still talk the same, you
still walk the same.

00:02:35,450 --> 00:02:36,I'd swear you're wearing the same
clothes.

00:02:39,470 --> 00:02:44,Wait, it's not like he's frozen in time.
I mean, Adam is constantly changing.

00:02:44,450 --> 00:02:48,He's a, you know, I mean, sometimes I
look at him and I just scream, ah, who's

00:02:48,830 --> 00:02:49,that?

00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:55,I didn't recognize him. It's Adam. I was
just about to mace him. Oh, it's Adam.

00:02:56,190 --> 00:02:57,Now, he's a changing fool.

00:02:58,950 --> 00:03:00,Thank you, Alan.

00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:05,I'm sorry we're late. Oh, hey. Happy
birthday, Adam. Hey, Mom. How are you?

00:03:05,780 --> 00:03:06,Melissa. Happy birthday.

00:03:07,260 --> 00:03:09,I'm so glad you can make it. Me, too.
The pipes in our apartment broke.

00:03:10,020 --> 00:03:11,You still room together?

00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,Can you believe it? Ever since college.

00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,Oh, you hear that? They haven't changed
either, just like us.

00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,Sorry we didn't invite you to the
wedding, but it was Vegas quickies.

00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,Wedding? Yeah, baby's due in June.

00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,We finally decided after all those years
that we were in love.

00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,Sorry about your party, Adam. I just
wanted to make your birthday special.

00:03:36,060 --> 00:03:37,the party was great.

00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,It's just me.

00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,I've done nothing with my life.

00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,Oh, come on. That's not true.

00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,It is. I'm exactly where I was the day I
graduated.

00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,Still living with you, not really going
anywhere.

00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,Stuck in a rut.

00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:57,Okay, well, shake things up a little. Go
to Vegas for the weekend.

00:03:57,300 --> 00:03:58,Take up karate.

00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,Wear more sweaters.

00:04:00,380 --> 00:04:01,I think it may go deeper than that.

00:04:02,570 --> 00:04:03,All right, kilts.

00:04:04,850 --> 00:04:05,I don't know.

00:04:06,050 --> 00:04:07,Something's wrong.

00:04:07,330 --> 00:04:08,I need a change.

00:04:09,210 --> 00:04:10,You want to give up photography?

00:04:10,870 --> 00:04:12,No, it's not that. It's this.

00:04:14,170 --> 00:04:16,Maybe it's time we live apart.

00:04:17,230 --> 00:04:18,Wow.

00:04:18,790 --> 00:04:21,Really? Well, you know, if you want to.

00:04:22,029 --> 00:04:26,No, yeah, sure. I mean, if you think
that's good, then that's a good idea.

00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,Since you brought it up. Well, I'm not
bringing it up. It just came up. But,

00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,know, since you think it's a good idea.
No, I didn't say it was a good idea. I

00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,mean, I said it's an idea. And any idea
is a good idea.

00:04:36,820 --> 00:04:37,It is?

00:04:37,980 --> 00:04:42,Yeah. I mean, sure. Since, you know, you
have an idea. And that's better than

00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:43,having none.

00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,Okay.

00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:49,So, I'm going to do this.

00:04:51,180 --> 00:04:54,Good. Good. Because, you know, really,
all these years just hanging around this

00:04:54,700 --> 00:04:56,apartment doing nothing with my life.

00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,I've been selling myself short.

00:04:58,220 --> 00:05:02,Exactly. You know, I'm really just one
big dewy ball of greatness waiting to

00:05:02,180 --> 00:05:04,happen. Oh, that a birthday boy.

00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:08,32's your year. You know, I could be
married with a red -hot photography

00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,if you hadn't been holding me back.

00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:12,What'd I do?

00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:17,Well, you made it really easy for me to
spend ten years of my life just hanging

00:05:17,220 --> 00:05:18,out.

00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,I ** kind of fun, aren't I?

00:05:22,820 --> 00:05:23,So it's agreed.

00:05:24,420 --> 00:05:25,Yep.

00:05:30,890 --> 00:05:32,Then again... What?

00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:35,Well, you know, maybe we're like Chad
and Melissa.

00:05:37,590 --> 00:05:39,Yeah, they lived together all those
years as friends.

00:05:40,070 --> 00:05:45,Until one day they realized... That they
were actually...

00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:54,So,

00:05:54,610 --> 00:05:56,you want to go look at apartments
tomorrow? Great idea.

00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,I can't believe you two are actually
going through with it. Oh, wait till you

00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,see my new place. It's great. It's g***t a
pool, sauna, rec room. It's even

00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,furnished. Not like any place, it's g***t
its quirks, but overall, it's a real

00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,find. How can you afford that?

00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,Well, they're giving me a break on the
rent because I'm also the building

00:06:15,740 --> 00:06:19,manager. You know, I collect the rent
checks, and I'm the handyman.

00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:22,Handyman.

00:06:25,580 --> 00:06:27,You know, it's moments like this I'll
miss the most.

00:06:31,150 --> 00:06:32,So, what are you going to do with this
room?

00:06:33,390 --> 00:06:36,Turn it into what I've always wanted it
to be. What's that?

00:06:36,570 --> 00:06:42,Well, like a... an office, guest room,
library, gym thingy.

00:06:44,010 --> 00:06:45,Ellen, I'm taking off.

00:06:46,670 --> 00:06:47,I guess this is it.

00:06:48,730 --> 00:06:52,Well, I'll let...
