Jimmy

Are you married?

Wendy Savage

No... but my boyfriend is.

Wendy Savage

Dad has been writing on the walls with his shit!

[half asleep]

Wen, what the **** are you talking about?

Wendy Savage

Are you Simone?

Simone

I am.

Wendy Savage

I'm Lenny Savage's daughter in B26. He has a big red pillow; it's missing.

Simone

Did he have his name on it?

Wendy Savage

And his room number.

Simone

What's it look like?

Wendy Savage

Big. Red. Pillow.

Dad's not the one that has a problem with the Valley View. There's nothing wrong with Dad's situation. Dad's situation is fine. He's never gonna adjust to it if we keep yanking him outta there. And, actually, this upward mobility fixation of yours, it's counterproductive and, frankly, pretty selfish. Because it's not about Dad, it's about you and your guilt. That's what these places prey upon.

Wendy Savage

I happen to think it's nicer here.

Of course you do, because you are the consumer they want to target. You are the guilty demographic. The landscaping, the neighborhoods of care; they're not for the residents, they're for the relatives. People like you and me who don't want to admit to what's really going on here.

Wendy Savage

Which is what, Jon?

People are dying, Wendy! Right inside that beautiful building right now, it's a **** horror show! And all this wellness propaganda and the landscaping, it's just there to obscure the miserable fact that people die! And death is gaseous and gruesome and it's filled with shit and piss and rotten stink!

[about his girlfriend]

She's moving back to Poland.

Wendy Savage

What, you and Kasia broke up?

No, her visa expired.

Wendy Savage

So that's it? Her visa expires, and it's over.

It's either that or we get married and no one's ready for that.
