REPAIR SHOP-DAY
[The old man from Dinner-Syd is hang by his hands and being tortured by Cha-Cha.]
Cha-Cha-You gotta tell me how you did the London job in '66. Beautiful work. Really.
"One of my bests." Admitted Five.
Syd:I swear to Christ, I have no idea what you're talking... [Cha-Cha turns on machine and electro shocks him.]
"Poor man." Said Allison. Luther looked at him with pity.
Syd: (crying) I am just a tow truck driver. I've never even been to London.
[Hazel sits behind.]
Hazel: Tuna? Delicious. You want half?
Cha-Cha: I'm fine, thanks. [Hazel bites the tuna, then stands up and hits Syd.]
Hazel: That's for no mayo. [Syd starts sobbing.]
"Hazel is such a mood." Laughed Cora.
"This isn't funny! They are torturing man!" Said Luther.
"So? It's not like i can do anything about it now." Said Cora.
Cha-Cha: Does Number Five seem like he'd be a whimperer to you?
Hazel: Not from what I heard.  [Cha-Cha takes out Old Five's photo and holds it next to Syd.]
"You kinda look alike." Said Vanya.
Hazel: That seems close enough to me.
Cha-Cha: Strong resemblance, I'll grant you that, but...  the space between the eyes is different, the chin is not quite the same.
Hazel: There's a dimple.
Cha-Cha: There is a dimple.
Syd: I am not the guy that you are look... [Cha-Cha shocks Syd again.]
Cha-Cha: No talking.
Hazel: He was the only guy in the doughnut shop, wasn't he?
Cha-Cha: Was there anyone else in the doughnut shop with you last night, Syd?
Syd: I don't know, just the waitress, woman and some kid.
Hazel: Some kid? Elaborate.
Syd: I... I don't know. Uh... He was weird.
Hazel: This isn't twenty questions, old man. Weird how?
Syd: (stammers) He said something about coming there when he was young.
"Damn it!" Said Five.
Cha-Cha: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Hazel: Italian for dinner?
"I like him." Chuckled Klaus.
Cha-Cha: Focus. I'm talking about the kid.
Hazel: What about him?
Cha-Cha: Time travel's a bitch.
Hazel: Especially without a briefcase.
Cha-Cha: What if the kid is Number Five?
Hazel: It's sort of hard to wrap your head around.
Syd: You see, I told you, I am not the guy... 
Cha-Cha: What else did you and the kid talk about?
Syd: I... I think that's it. Oh, wait, wait, wait... (stammers) What are you doing?
Cha-Cha: Jump-starting your memory. [Cha-Cha electro shocks him again and Sid groans in pain.]
Syd: All I remember is he wanted directions to some department store. That's it, I swear.
Five doesn't look pleased.
Hazel: Department store? Okay. Elaborate.
UMBRELLA ACADEMY-DAY
[Allison is talking on the phone.]
Allison: But I'm leaving for the airport. It's not a big deal if I miss one session.
Allison: Patrick, it was my father's funeral. You know, I'm pretty sure the court recognizes that as extenuating circumstances.
Allison: Is Claire there? Yes, I would like to say hello to my daughter if that's all right with you. [Vanya walks down the stairs.]
Allison: No. (voice breaking) Patrick! Don't... [Patrick hang up, so Allison puts the phone back and sighs.]
"He can't just forbide you from talking to your daughter!" Said Ben.
"He can." Said Allison.
"Sounds like a dick." Said Cora.
Vanya: Are you okay?
Allison: (sighs) Yeah. [Allison turns around.]
Vanya: Well, I've never met your ex-husband, but... he sounds like an asshоlе.
Allison: That's one word for it.
Vanya: You know what? You're probably better off here.
"Really, Vanya?" Said Ben.
"I-i- uh- i didn't mean... I..." stummered Vanya.
Allison: No, I'm probably better off with my daughter.
Vanya: Of course, um... I'm sorry. I didn't...
Allison: You know, if I wanted advice, Vanya, no offense, it wouldn't be from you.
Vanya: What is that supposed to mean?
Allison: You don't have a child. You've never even been in a relationship.
Vanya: That's not true.
Allison: So you know what it's like to love someone like this? When you're apart from her, you can't breathe? Like you would... you would die, and I... I mean actually... die... to know that she's okay and happy. You separate yourself from everyone and everything. You always have.
"Dad made me." Said Vanya.
Vanya: Because Dad made me.
Allison: Did Dad make you write that book about us, too?
"Buuuurn" said Cora. Diego smirked. Vanya looks down.
Allison:  You're an adult now, Vanya. You don't get to blame your problems on anyone but yourself. [Allison walks away.]
VANYA'S APARTMENT-DAY
[Vanya is playing mournful tune on violin. Then there is a loud knock. Vanya stops playing and puts the violin.]
Vanya: He's not here, Mrs. Kowalski. (loud knocking continues) Mr. Puddles isn't here. [Vanya opens the door and sees it's not Kowalski.]
Vanya: Can I help you?
Leonard: I'm Leonard. I'm your four o'clock.
Vanya: Oh, my... I forgot. I am so sorry.
Leonard: I swear I had nothing to do with Mr. Puddles.
Vanya: Oh, no... Sorry, it's, uh, my neighbor, Mrs. Kowalski. She... Well, she has this cat that always goes missing. She thinks I know where it is. I don't. She's older. And I should stop... talking. I'm so sorry. Please come in. [Vanya steps away to let Lenard in. Leonard goes into house and Vanya closes the door.]
Leonard: (chuckles softly) I'm guessing I look different... than your usual students. [Leonard takes off jacket.]
Vanya: Um, yeah, you can just...
[Leonard puts jacket on coach.]
Vanya: Yeah. Yeah, 20 years or so different. [Both of them chuckle.]
"This is so awkward." Said Cora.
Leonard: Well, the ad didn't say anything about age limits.
Vanya: No, no, of course not. It's... most of my students are kids. Easier to learn music when you're young. You know, like a second language.
Leonard: Ich verstehe! [Vanya tilts her head.]
"He is trying to impress you." Said Klaus.
"No, he.. he isn't." Denied Vanya.
"He is." Said Allison.
Leonard: That's German... for "I understand." I took three years of that in high school. And that's all I can remember.
Vanya: Mm. Well, it's right over here. If you wanna... Let me just... [Vanya goes to desk and looks at some papers.]
Vanya: Sorry... Oh, it's fine. ...get organized for a second. [Leonard takes Violine and plays discordant note.]
Vanya: Oh! [Leonard chuckles.]
Vanya: You're really just going for it. Leonard: Yeah.
Vanya: Um, no, I'll actually take that. And we're just gonna start with the basics.
BOXING GYM-DAY
Man: (O.S) What's up? Hey, Diego.
Diego:(O.S) Yo. What up, Nigel?
Woman: (O.S.) What's up, Diego? [Diego walks past boxing ring.]
Diego: Doing good, huh?
Man: Sí.
[Diego goes to back room. He sees door has been opened, so he brings out knife and carefully opens the door. He peeks in door, then throws the knife. Knife does unbelievable turns and scratches Luther's ear, who is sitting on coach and reading.]
"Hey!" Said Luther.
"Shouldn't have snooped around." Said Diego.
Luther: Ow! What the... [Diego turns the lighs on.]
Diego: I could smell it was you.
Luther: What the hell? [Diego closes the door.]
Luther: You could have killed me. [Luther picks up the knife.]
Diego: If I wanted you dead, you'd be dead. [Diego takes his knife back.]
"It's true. Diego's powers make sure he always hits the target. Like now." Said Cora.
Luther: (sighs) It's a nice place.
Diego: (smiles) I like it.
Luther: So why didn't you tell me?
Diego: Tell you what? [Luther shows Diego a poster, which is about Diego's match.]
Luther: That you were fighting the night that Dad died. I checked with the guys out there.
Diego: Well, I shouldn't have to prove my innocence to you... or anyone else in this family.
Luther: Yeah, you're right. But, I just thought that...
Diego: Yeah. I know what you thought. Now... you have a nice day, brother. [Luther puts the poster back.]
Luther: All right. [Luther leaves.]
