Where are you going?

I'm just gonna, you know.

Nicky, do you
think I should lose weight?

Uh sure. At least if you want.

Nicky, is there anything
you'd like to watch?

Nah, I gotta go.

No breakfast?

What about coffee?

Oh, kind of a mess.

You wanna spend tonight
together?

Uh, we're delivering an
episode tonight,

so it's long hours.

But, I'll catch you next time.

Right, next time.

Bye.

Don't say it like that. That's
so final.

See you soon.

We'll make it work.

I don't
know how you're gonna get

these fools to coordinate that.

Well, that's where we come in.

I mean, whenever anything
went down in Ape house,

we'd have to be the guys
organizing and nothing's changed.

You gotta pick up a little more
slack

since you still live there.

They're idiots.

Having them stagger
into a bar is one thing.

But you're asking them to sit
down like-

- Robin, gimme a second.

Hello? This is...

Yes, it is.

Um, no, I'm not on set.

Uh, well, according to
the shooting schedule,

he's off from Wednesday to
Friday.

He's supposed to go in for
ADR the following Monday.

Give me another sec.

Yeah. That Tuesday after lunch
could work.

How about 3:30?

No, thank you.

All right. I'm back.

You gonna invite Helen?

No, I'm going hiking
with her the day before.

So let's just keep this for the
guys.

Whatever you say.

Listen, I'll send you a
list of places later today.

I gotta go.
Alright.

- Morning.
- Hey, what's good, Peter?

You packed?

We'll go to the Getty when we
get back.

And I said you packed?

Oh, uh...

But I do want to go.

They got some live performances,

Beethoven's 16th string quartet.

I don't see what's so special

about some douche bag with
the same degree as you

performing in 80 degree
weather and getting swamp ass.

Says the guy

putting this shit on.

I mean, I turned down the sound
and you didn't even notice.

This is a classic. Right?

You got young Frank
Sinatra and Burt Lancaster,

both in prime form.

Oh, gay.

They don't make movies
like this anymore.

Besides we'll go to the
museum when we get back.

We gotta plan for this Ape house
reunion.

I don't think I can go.

What, what do you mean?

I'm going skiing in Vermont
the day after we land.

So...

How you gonna miss the
whole gang getting together?

I mean, even Zach's going
and he's ancient, bro.

You seeing Helen?

We're going hiking in
Tallman or Bear Mountain.

Uh, see if she wants to take
my place.

You know, she's been talking
about coming out here for,

I don't know how long.

Uh uh it's a boy's night.

Yo, you got any of those
like little liquid bottles?

Uh yeah. They're in the
bathroom.

Thanks.

Now. Where were we?

Did you recognize me
from the back of my head?

Well, not yet.

- Your show.
- Hmm.

Right? So basically these
aliens, they come to Earth,

colonize it and then people
either form a resistance

or assimilate to that lifestyle.

Inner fighting ensues.

Ah, cool.

Yeah. It's a neat
premise.

And which one would you be?

Which one?

Which side would you be on?

Hmm. That's a good question.

I might be a rebel.

Oh. So you're difficult.

Well, I mean, you wouldn't
have to wait

for the aliens to find that out.

- Really?
- Yep.

Nicky!

Hey you.

Oh, sorry about that.

How you doing man? Thanks for
coming.

Oh man. Hey, did you get the
link I sent?

Did you enjoy it?

- I did.
- But did you enjoy it?

- I loved it.
- Good.

'Cause you know Leah's in it.
Yeah.

Yeah, I saw it, it was,
it was a great short film.

- I appreciate that.
- It was great.

You know Nicky's
originally from New York.

- I know.
- Yeah man,

I'm actually getting
to know Leah right now.

- Great.
- Yeah.

Hey, Nicky,

I will be right back, but you're
still gonna be here, right?

- Of course, of course.
- Okay. Great.

Goodbye Leah.

Bro, tell you, I got
this girl coming tonight.

She's this Midwest girl
coming with some friends.

My name's Evelyn. She's
got this perfect ass.

Perfect face. I mean, mm mm.

It's great, man.

You're trying to like wife her
up or?

Ugh. God, if only right?

Us guys, you know?

Well look around.

Okay. You looking?

Yep.

There could be a girl in here
tonight

that could be having your baby.

Oh, oo.

That's crazy.

Hey, you're still working on
that show?

Yeah. 'Til... 'til March.

Oh that's great, man.

Does it put you on set a lot?

Now I'm in post production.

Right.

Hey, well listen. I'm
gonna do a few rounds.

You think you gonna be around?

- Be right here.
- Cool.

I'm gonna grab a towel.
I'll see you around.

Thanks for coming bro.
No problem.

You, you bro.

Alright, see you.

No, you.

And then she decides

she doesn't wanna hang
out with me anymore.

You here for Matt?

We are.

We?

I came here with some friends.

Ah.

I did not know that he
could run a place like this.

He didn't.

He told people to show up

and now the bartender's
ripping his hair out.

Oh yeah?

Where are you from?

- That obvious?
- Mm hmm.

Coon Rapids, Minnesota.

Mm.

So a one road town with a
coffee shop and taxidermy.

- And a pizzeria.
- Ugh, terrible.

Oo, a New York boy.

Is it that obvious?

New York isn't the only
place with good pizza.

Plenty of great places in the
Midwest.

Yeah. That's like saying
Salieri is as good as Mozart.

So how long before you
head home for the holidays?

Let's text.

We could do that.

Uh, you wanted to see me?

Hey, let's, let's
go over the ADR schedule

for when we get back.

You sure that there's a...

Yeah. But before we get into
that.

Oh thank you.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm
happy to get a break.

So what's Ape house?

I've heard that a couple
times from your desk.

Oh that's that's the house
nickname

where me and my friends lived in
college.

Yeah. We threw some wild parties
and that's the name we got.

That's great.

Yeah. I'm gonna be seeing a
lot of them.

Derek and I are the only
ones that don't live at home.

Derek lives in Texas now,
but he'll be back too.

We still got it. You know.

I'm sure you got a lot of
plans.

You know it.

Ah, that's my, my New York
girls.

What could I say?

Grass is always greener.

Are you heading home?

Life's here now.

30 years now.

We usually go up to Monterey.

But this time the in-laws are
coming down.

Is that good or?

Well Cheryl's mom is
getting pretty sick.

So this is probably the last
time

she's gonna be able to travel.

Can you believe she's never
hiked the Hollywood sign.

Oh, well, sorry to hear
that you won't be going up.

It's okay. I'm glad she's
saying goodbye in her own way.

The only downside is
she's bringing the cats.

Ugh. Cats.

I'm allergic.
Mm, me too.

I mean, why anyone would
leave the bay area for this

is beyond me, it's much
prettier up there anyway.

Remember grass is always
greener.

Psst. Dom.

Dom.

- What?
- Get up.

What for?

We're switching seats.

Nuh uh.

Are you?

Switch seats with me.

What's your problem, man?

Red.

Come on.

Come on, come on, get up, get
up.

Come on, come on, come on, come
on.

Can't keep it in your
pants for one second.

Thank you.

Trying to fill that
void in your little shitty soul.

Um, wasn't someone
else just sitting here?

Um, no, no.

It's, it's only ever been me.

So all I'm saying is it
was rude.

Oh, come on.

Think you're really gonna mad.

It's how you said it, bro.

Words have meaning. Okay?

So just be careful.

Listen, have fun in Vermont.

Just break a leg. You know?

I'm going skiing.

Exactly. See ya.

I will have fun.

God.

Hey Paul.

Nicky. Good to see ya.

Come on in.

Nicky!

- Hey Mom.
- Ah.

Hey Nicky.

Hey, TJ.

Put your stuff down and come
back out.

Okay.

Lunch is gonna be ready soon.

Paul, I'm sorry I didn't
make it back in time for Pops.

Your life's out there now.

Are you seeing anyone?

No one to write home about.

You see any celebrities?

DJ!

- Yeah. Sometimes.
- Pretty sick. Huh?

TJ, that homework better be
done before lunch is ready.

I'm doing it.

And um, you still on your
show?

Mm hmm.

Yeah, show's actually pretty
cool.

It's about aliens coming down to
Earth.

They colonize it and
then people gotta decide

whether they wanna fight
back or, or join them.

I'm just gonna go finish
this in my room, okay?

No, no, no. Have a seat.

It's gonna be ready in a minute.

I mean, I don't see why
I have to be out here.

So you haven't seen your
brother the whole year

and now you're gonna abandon
him?

- Alright.
- It's fine.

Paul, how was the service?

It was fine.

I'm only asking because-

- No, your cousin, Megan

brought that really
nice boyfriend of hers.

You'd love him.

They're gonna make fine parents
one day.

Who knows, if you come to
the New Year's celebration,

maybe she could introduce you
to some of her friends and...

I'm all good, Mom. Thank you.

He shouldn't be lurching
around his cousin's friends.

Yeah. My step cousins.

We're so happy to have you
home.

So happy, sweetie.

Whoo!

It's good to see you Becky.

Oh shit.

In the past I'm so used to-

- I'm still on the pill.

Oh, okay, good.

It's a shame you're
only here once a year.

Yeah, but it'd be a lot harder

to get around... your boyfriend.

- Tim?
- Tim. That's it.

- He knows.
- He what?

He knows what I do with you.

Uh...

I always like to let
him know what I'm doing.

Sometimes I tell him
immediately after we're done.

It helps him climax.

You see? Yeah-

- I'm mean why do you
think I let you finish?

Please stop.

Nicky.

Hey.

Oh, so good to see you.

Let's sit.

Okay.

Tell me everything about LA.

Well, to start, nobody
knows how to drive out there.

I mean they have all the
attitude of New York drivers,

but none of the skill.

I'm happy you're alive.

Yeah. For now.

So you and Sam are?

We broke up, but-

- Right. Good for you.

What about the girls, you know,

you still keep in touch with
everyone and?

I do.

Emily still talks over
everything anyone else says.

And when I do speak Katrin
and Nicole look at me

like I have three heads.

They're jealous.

I mean, they're in the rat race
out here

and you're working at one
of the biggest record labels

in the country, so...

PR, I'm in PR.

So...

Yeah, but it's much cooler PR

than fucking health insurance

or for one of those crooks on
Wall Street.

True.

It is nice to work with people

who actually vibe to the same
music I do

and share a cubicle
with fellow Dead Heads.

So what brings you back here,
Nicky?

I mean, what am I gonna
spend Christmas on the beach?

It's only like my second
holiday season away

and it's not like I have
foster parents out there.

You know?

You got a new place now, right?

I love it.

Congrats. Congrats.

You like all moved in and?

Getting there.

Nice.

I'd love to see it sometime.

We can go there after this.

Here we are.

Oh, nice.

I like the space.

Thank you.

Neighbors haven't been
loud, which is a huge plus.

Uh huh.

Okay.

Right this way.

Wow.

Yeah.

New plant.

Those drapes from home.

Nice, nice.

And that lamp from
junior year of college.

You made it very homey.

I tried.

Bless you.

This is nice.

Mm.

I don't remember the last
time I had an orgasm.

Oh. Sorry to hear that.

But you haven't cum once.

Yeah, it doesn't always
happen.

You know?

Really?

Yeah. Maybe it's like
desensitized.

I don't know. Don't worry.

Don't worry.

Okay.

Just cause it
didn't happen this time

doesn't mean that it
won't happen next time.

You know?

You wanna see me again?

Yeah, of course.

Okay.

And he brings us our drinks

and my mom asks if he's single.

Yo guys keep up.

Who are these guys?

Friends from high school.

This is what happens when you
never leave your hometown.

You were saying?

Right? So he's
watching, I'm embarrassed.

And my mom tells him
to give me his number.

Oh my god.

She's just living in
fear that I'm not married

and I'm alone in a studio
apartment,

which she always takes the time
out to criticize to my face.

But no matter what I
do, still never enough.

She should see my place then,

I mean I do have a couple
posters though.

- Are they framed?
- Framed? No.

That's the difference
between class and sad.

Oh yeah. What's the cut off?

22.

Ah, man, just missed it.

Oo, that's pretty.

Oh yeah, look at the trees.

Yeah, no, you don't get this
in LA.

I mean, here you get this.

Then drive down the Palisades

and you're greeted by concrete
heavens.

Shut up.

Trust me, you'll see when you
visit.

We have like six skyscrapers.

So you do wanna hang out
again?

Yeah. What do you mean?

I didn't get an invite
to the gang's dinner.

Well that's a guy's thing.

You are going to Pager's
new year's party, right?

Yeah.

So what, this, the dinner,

the new year's thing and nothing
else?

Oh, there's something else.

Who?

Not gonna believe it.

Lily.

You're kidding me?

This is such a bad idea.

This woman wrecked you.

I just want a nice moment.
Okay?

What's a nice moment coming
from a guy-

- Just something nice with
someone who gets it, who gets me.

So there's not a
single woman in your life

that stands out, not one?

I mean I'm not a gorilla

or some fucking animal
that's just looking to...

you know sometimes
it would just be nice

to have someone to come
home to, someone who cares.

Right? Yeah.

So just crave affection from the
woman

who just kept you at arm's
length.

Let's just, let's just enjoy
the view.

Okay?

Do you have a reservation with
us?

Yeah. For Leandro?

Leandro. Right, follow me.

Mr. Fiorenza, the rest
of that party is here.

You guys are late. Your
friends are late too.

Okay. So?

- Spoiled brats.
- Unbelievable.

Yo, check this out.

Huh?

Okay. Okay.

Oh my god.

Damn.
Right?

Her name's Tanya. She's fucking
dynamite.

Yeah. And she's a, she's an
older bird.

Yeah, she came from Athens,
Georgia,

like 20 years ago trying to act,

now she's in post.

Yeah and now she's working
with you.

Yes she is.

This guy showed up.

Mr. Hollywood here.

- Have a seat.
- Hello fellas.

Alright. Alright guys, guys,
guys, guys.

Look what I got.

Boom!

You still have that?

Look at this fucking shirt.

- I miss those days.
- Sir.

Yeah, man. We ran shit.

No one came close.

I'll cheers to that.

It will take all my
fingers and toes to count

how many times the cops got
called on us in that house.

Fuck 'em, fuck 'em.

Okay, okay. Listen.

So who are we taking down this
break?

I mean, we got our list.

The list!

It's filled.

So let's hear it.

I mean some you know, some you
don't.

He's a cryptic guy, cryptic.

I mean, what's the point
of me telling your girls

I went to high school with?

No, no, no, fuck that.

Tell us about the college girls.

Yeah.

- You know, actually-
- You know what?

Do you know who I saw in the
queue?

- Who?
- Lily.

Oh, Lily.

What was she doing?

I don't know. I think
she lived somewhere there.

I think 70 something.

Fuck, she used to be
bad. So bad.

She was a good pipe.

Yeah man. Forget it.

She ran through my whole house
at 481.

Matter of fact, didn't she
smash Derek on a balcony?

Yes, yes, yes.

Please tell me that one of you
guys still have that video.

Those two were banging for a
while.

Until he got tired.

It doesn't take
that long to tie Derek out.

Party for Leandro.

7:30. The reservation was
7:30.

Nicky over there had her too.

Oh yeah. I mean I had
that before any of you.

Yeah. Maybe at this table.

Not in our dorm suite.

Howdy there, partner.

I missed you guys.

How was Houston?

It is pretty good.

I, I'm still at the firm

and I should get a house outside
the city in a year or so.

Nicky, you think you could get
a house

with that Hollywood money?

What?

I'm a post coordinator.

They practically give
houses away in Texas.

- So no.
- Right.

And I got this.

- What's that?
- It's my CC.

Right. Smart man.

When did you get this?

Well, it says it right there.

You got a gun?

When we talking gun,
are we talking assault?

Little shotgun?

Maybe a pistol there cowboy,
huh?

It's a Glock 17.

Huh? Standard.

What?

Fuck. Really?

I mean what would you ever need
that for?

Lots of reasons.

So when you say AR, are we
talking like-

- Name one.

For now? Fun.

I'll drink to that.

Just in case.

You see what goes on out
there in the world these days.

Yeah man. Lots of weirdos.

What? I'm just saying.

It's pretty sketch.

Well it's nice to know

that you don't care about mass
shootings.

That's a ridiculous statement,

but I mean, there's not even a
place for-

- How much do you wanna bet

the next one's gonna be in the
north?

I'll take that bet.

Hey Tommy, gimme an
over under on the west coast.

Guys. Quit.

Hey. Guy!

Hey, chill, chill.

Seriously?

Happy what you did, ruin a
nice thing?

You know, I think you'll
think about it differently

when you have a family.

You don't have a,
bro, you were too scared

to shoot fireworks on the 4th of
July.

It's different. You were
gonna blow your finger up.

Come on, all you's, out.

Next party's here.

We made a reservation.

Which half of you
fucks were late for you.

You, I want you outta here.

This bump out.

Hey douche bag, you, get the
fuck out.

Come on.

Come on, let's come on, get the
fuck-

Get outta here!

It sad.

It's truly sad.

I mean the fuck has been in
Houston a year

and he's got the balls to be
spewing

the second amendment bullshit.

I am sorry that ruined dinner.

Fucking different down there,
man.

I mean I know John Reed,

but the type of backwards
privatization

that those state's spew.

Nicky please, no one knows

what the fuck you're talking
about.

I'm saying he's living
in an urban center. Okay?

He's not living in the fucking
ticks.

I have some hope he
is getting acclimated.

Hope?

I haven't had hope since
Super Tuesday, 2020.

Every year you come
home to pomp and applause

and a, and a hero's welcome.

And this year you gotta share
it.

Finance. South of the Mason
Dixon line.

Has anyone seen my shirt?

Oh, that's not cool, man.

It's not fucking cool.

Dude. Chill out.

This is Derek.

This is the guy who used to
match you in wizard staff.

And he used to get the shitty
jelly sauce

for his mozz sticks.

Look, I'm not saying
I'm cool either, alright?

I used to be so fucking cool.

Now I'm a working stiff.

Look. I, I hear you bro.

Look, you got something to say
to him,

he's coming up on the elevator
right now.

Why is he coming here?

I asked him to come
over for breakfast stuff.

Jesus Christ. Why.

You guys are best friends.

You'll work it out.

Hey.

- Hey.
- What's up man?

No boots today?

Those were dope, man.

Yeah, man.

Saving for the party.

Ah, that's smart.

So what's going on?

What are we waiting on?

Yeah, we'll head out once
Robin's done.

Okay.

I heard I miss some of your
dogging in LA.

Yeah. You missed some like
pictures I was showing earlier.

Was there a cougar in there?

A couple.

There's this other girl too.

She's like this Southern bell
type.

- Yeah.
- Poor creature.

Fuck man.

Some things never change.

Right.

I mean if the right girl came
along.

Right, right, right.

Right, right. Totally, yeah.

I mean, it just hasn't happened
yet.

Right. Just hasn't happened
yet.

- Yeah.
- I can't believe

I lost that shirt.

Oh, I could help you look for
it.

Nah, nah.

It's all right.

I think it's like a metaphor,
you know?

Like that, that part of my life
is over.

It is a new chapter.

Yeah.

Wow.

Oh boy. We are outty
five-thoutty.

That fucking shirt.

Here you go.

- Hi.
- Hi.

How's it going?

Oh fine.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Do you have any plans for
today?

I'm actually gonna
head back into the city.

Oh. Okay.

Yeah.

Why was there something that
you-

- Oh no, no. It's okay.

I should be home tonight
though.

Yeah. Of course.

Here.

No Ma.

Here.

Oh, no Ma, really?

It's not much. Please take it.

Hey, you be good now.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Thinking about something?

Everything and nothing.

You used to be
able to tell me anything.

Yeah.

Look where that got me.

Why don't we get outta here?

What did you have in mind?

Some sights.

- Sights?
- Yeah. Come on.

Let's go.

Come on. Let's go.

Here it is.

Nicky, I love ice skating.

I mean all you had to say
was you wanted to take me.

What?

No, I don't even know how to
skate.

We're here for the tree.

Could we get going?

Uh, are you hungry?

Yeah. Sure.

Okay.

Why the hell are we by
the water?

It's fucking freezing.

Whoa, whoa.

Where's the bench?

There's a bench over there.

Yeah but this is the
bench from the movie.

For what?

Well I thought it'd be
nice to, you know, sit here.

Watch the sun come up.

That doesn't sound like...

Would've been nice.

Look, look it's cold.

So why don't we...

Oh.

Wow.

Did you finish?

Uh uh.

Is there anything I can do?

No, no, no.

I'm okay. Just need a little
time out.

There's gotta be something.

Nah I'm, I'm really, I'm good.

I just, you know, takes me a
while.

But it's the second time.

It's, it's just how my body
works.

Okay.

You have like a, like a
towel, I could dry off with?

Top rack.

Thank you.

Sorry.

This is a nice jacket.

Who's is this?

It's Sammy's.

Sammy's, wow.

You two not cool anymore?

Nice though, wouldn't want
his stuff lingering around me.

He's not the first person
I think about hitting up.

Yeah. Well what does it matter

what you say about the people?

Orson Wells?

"Touch of Evil"!

No?

Okay.

What about the cat?

What about it?

That was a gift from him.

Can't have joint custody over
it.

So uh, I mean, I've been
thinking

and I mean there's something
here, right?

I, well, I, I really
see a future with you.

You know, like us together.

I don't know.

I'll tell you what, you know
that party

at Paige's next week?

Mm hmm.

Well, why
don't you come with me?

Why do you want that?

I don't know. It'll be fun.

Maybe.

Come on, how many chances

are we gonna have to go
out all fancy together?

I have feelings for you.

It's just that if you
were going to stay here

and you wanted to continue this,

I would leave him for you.

Nicky Leandro.

Never thought I'd have to see
you again.

Stephanie.

Nice to see you.

Taking a break from being

a non-committal
philandering prick out west

and thought you'd drop by?

Uh huh.

I'm so sorry he brought
you to this, honey.

You can do a lot better
than this fuck boy.

Stephanie, meet the reason

I'm a non-committal philandering
fuck boy.

Lily, this is Stephanie.

Charmed.

Yeah.

Well the wine's a hit.

- Oh, there he is.
- Dude.

- What's up?
- How you doing?

Good. Hey.

You still listen to weird
shit?

Um, yeah.

- You know Derek's-
- Yeah, I'm gonna say hi.

I'll be right back.

- Hey buddy.
- What's up?

Oh, it's good to see you.

You too. You too.

Oh my god. I am so sorry
about the other night.

Bro, don't even mention that.

Oh my god.

No, no, look, I gotta tell you
something.

What's up?

This, this, this whole moving
thing.

I, I, I, I don't know if I can
do it.

What's that now?

Yeah. Houston.

I, I, I don't think I can make
it there.

Like being this far away from
a home, it's getting to me.

No, no, no, no, no, no,
listen.

You're on an adventure being out
there.

You're spreading your wings man.

You're, you're flying.

Okay?
Yeah.

I'm thinking about moving back.

How can you do that?

You got such a good job.

You know you got, you got
all these things going.

Yeah, but I can do that here.

No, no, no you can't man.

'Cause you gotta, you
know, you gotta, I mean,

where's, where's your grit, you
know,

you're growing hair on
your chest being out there.

I need to speak with you.

Uh, just one second. So I
don't-

- Come on.

What are you doing with her?

Get off of me.

Yeah and you're gonna
cry on my shoulder later.

You brought the girl who
ripped your heart out to this.

Keep your voice down.

No one knows, but I'm telling
you

you're gonna die alone in a
barren home

with no art on the walls

'cause you're a shitty interior
designer.

I don't need this.

Hey girl.

Uh hey guys.

Long time no see.

Hey you're looking nice.

Thanks.

Something he'd like for sure.

Oh.

Hey, you could be doing a lot
worse.

So could he.

See you around.

You've got a man among men.

Hi Helen.

Couldn't get enough, could
you?

They fuck their cousins down
there.

You turning into a cousin
fucker?

That's the Midwest.

Same fucking difference.

Okay look, they're the country's
biggest producer in oil,

cattle, sheep, minerals, you
know?

Yeah but why not Louisiana or
Tennessee?

Tennessee?

What the fuck are you
talking about, Tennessee?

What do you mean? They
got Nashville down there.

It's a sick town.

- Nashville?
- Yeah.

Next to a state that
has Dallas, San Antonio,

Austin, Houston.

Man. You don't know
who you're talking about.

I don't know what I'm talking
about?

That's such a downgrade,
alright?

That's like saying Roger
Moore is a better 007

than Sean Connery.

I mean it's ridiculous.

What, you mean Daniel Craig

is a better Bond than Pierce
Brosnan?

Dan Craig. Are you fuck?

I can't. I can't.

Whatever man, you're a fucking
ass.

Stupid, man.

Fuck.

He hasn't bothered you
in who knows how long.

He didn't have to see me
again.

And he hit you up all the way
from LA?

I don't know what
you're so bothered about.

I know more than these other
assholes.

Hey guys, what's up?

The hangs back in town. Huh?

Yeah, most of us anyway.

Yeah, but don't worry about
the guys

who run here are herbs, man.

You guys, happy you're back.

It is good to be back.

Nicky, how's it being
back your mom and dad's.

He's got his own problems,

but he sure as shit didn't play
with you.

Are you fucking kidding me?

You know what kind of a
jackass I'd have to be

to take it seriously with a guy
like him?

At first. Yes.

But for three years after
he didn't show you enough?

Everyone knows what he is.

Fucking Robby Bones
is gonna be a doctor.

Nick how's acting going?

I'm not an actor.

You know, I thought about,
I should probably act too.

What do you think?

Yeah. You know, I thought
about trying out brain surgery,

you know, I think I have a knack
for it.

I might take it up still.

Look, if I had known all of
his friends

were gonna gimme grief,
I would've stayed home.

But you didn't.

You're here with him.

We're just trying to have a
good time.

You know what he thinks this
means?

And I'm gonna tell you
something.

When you moved on from him,

it was pretty fucked up
complaining about

all the other men in your life
to him.

He didn't have to respond.

You fucking used him.

He would've done anything for
you.

And maybe instead of being
thrown around

by a bunch of douche bags,

you could have had something
nice.

I was the one he asked for
help in dealing with you.

I had to hear about how you
threw that Derek shit to him.

If you don't leave, I will
fucking kick your ass.

Nicky, come here.

Come here.

Listen, will you tell this
beautiful girl over here

that she doesn't have
to move to Los Angeles

to be an actress?

I mean, come on you live five
minutes away from Broadway.

You know, this reminds
me of an old joke.

Group of actors from New York,

head to the promised land of
LA to make it in the movies.

At the same time, a group of
actors in LA head to New York,

'cause they know that's
the place to make it.

When they're passing
each other in Chicago,

they both yell out of their
cars.

"Yo, you're going the wrong
way."

Hey, what's up?

I'm sorry about that.
I had to, you know...

I have to go.

Go, go where?

You have my jacket?

Uh, hold on.

Whatever, whatever.

You guys.

Guys, guys, guys.

The ball's about to drop.
Ball's about to drop.

10, 9, 8, 7,

6, 5, 4,

3, 2, 1.

Happy new year!

Hey, so you live in LA?

So I'm looking to move out
there.

Do you have any pointers?

Actually, there's a lot
of things you need to know

before you go out there.

Why don't we sit down?

I'll tell you.

Happy new year.

You know what time is?

Jesus fucking Christ.
I'm not in high school.

Hey, you're in our house.

Act like a proper guest.

I've always been a guest in
this house.

You don't have to stay here.

Tell her that.

You're just not gonna say
anything to him, right?

What else is new?

You're still a child.

Yeah, you're still a grump.

You know, this is the longest
conversation we had in years.

And what are you silently giving
me shit

for missing your dad's funeral?

I had to work.

What, was I gonna take four
flights in three weeks?

I want nothing from you.
Nicky.

No time lost here.

Everybody's got their life to
live.

That's just fine.

The day they moved Pops to
hospice

was the day of my final exams.

Instead of leaving, I stayed.

He died before the test time was
over.

Fine. I gotta live with that.

You wanna be away from
your brother and mother?

That's fine too. You do you.

I know this family's no stranger
to loss.

I get that. Trust me.

For over a year my father
battled that cancer every day.

So what's so different
about the two of us?

And why the fuck are you
the one with the attitude?

How many years did you
get with your father, Paul?

Huh?

How many years did I get with
mine?

How many chances have you had

to not be a condescending?
Whoa, whoa!

What is going on with you two?

Screw this.

Hey sweetie.

Hey. I'm almost done here.

I'm gonna head out in a couple
hours.

Okay.

Well I hope this was a good
trip.

Yeah, it was great.

Because you know, we
hadn't talked about it.

So...

What?

That look you just did.

Your dad used to do that.

We used to dance to some
of these records here.

And he gave me that look.

What happened to these?

Water damage.

Is that a dancing album?

Oh, you can dance to anything

if you've got your own rhythm.

You know, love isn't just
all hearts and chocolates.

Sometimes it's leaving a note
for someone

or a kiss on the forehead.

It's been great having you home.

Goodbye.

Now, don't say it like that.

I'm gonna call you when I get
home.

Do you remember?

That was good.

Do you remember?

Huh?

Oh yeah.

And Mike forgot
to bring the drinks.

No, you know, I gotta say,
man,

I didn't see much of you this
time.

You know?

He's right.

Not enough time with the home
squad.

I don't know, guys, times
are changing, you know?

Not if I can help it.

To that.

Yeah.

You know, that's just the
thing.

Now you, you try to hold onto
something

and then it's just gone, gone.

And the next day we're
getting the queen in

to do her lines.

What's wrong?

Oh, I'm good.

Uh yeah, she's in for
the rest of the week.

No problem.

Break go alright?

Yeah, of course.

I know it's hard being
away from loved ones,

parents especially.

I was.

Why did you already have the
review?

I told you 3:00.

Oh I, well, Alan did-

- Next time I tell you
- 3:00, make sure it's 3:00.

Now I have no idea what happened
in there.

Oof, little more backbone
Tommy.

Morning.

Ah, oh fuck.

Oo.

Here. Let me just.

Just, just gimme a minute.

Okay.

Here.

Eh, slowly, slowly, slowly.

- It's Evelyn.
- Right.

Mm hmm.

- I knew that.
- Mm hmm.

Where am I?

My college.

College? You're in college?

Yeah. We're in Claremont.

Oh fuck me.

Why?

Well, it wasn't my first
choice.

But considering that my number
one was-

- Uh nope, not what I meant at
all.

Oh god.

I slept here?

So you don't remember driving
here

in the middle of the night?

- I drove?
- Yeah.

You stood outside my
window shouting my name.

Well after the first few failed
attempts.

Oh fuck me.

I thought it was sweet.

Kind of like that play with that
dead guy.

Coffee. Coffee, please.

We're almost there now.

It's a nice place you got here.

I think so.

Creative drawings and whatnot.

This one with the
rose in the hand in the center.

Yep.

It used to be a gun
shooting out flowers,

but a year ago, student council
sent a letter to the board

saying it was emotionally
triggering to African Americans.

This is why we need bullies.

- Nope.
- Yep.

- Definitely not.
- Non debatable.

You're wrong, so.

Cold enough?

Yeah.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Doesn't seem like nothing,

Hey girl, who's this?

This is Nicky.

Well hello Nicky.

Hi.

You're lucky to be with her.

Yep. Sure am.

Odd, the accent is cute.

I don't have an accent.

The rest of the family
sounds like that too?

What? No, I, we speak normal.

I think my stepfather
sounds like a cougine

and my mother straight off the
boat.

Just a century late.

What's got you down, hun?

What is this? An inquisition?

Girl trouble.

Yeah.

Oo, girl trouble.

What'd she do to you?

You can tell us.

It's a, I mean, you know
when you like someone and-

- And you're getting blown off.

Yep.

Well, tell her how you feel.

Uh, there's a give and take,
you know.

You gotta do like this,
this delicate dance.

I don't wanna come out guns
blazing

and just make something out of
nothing.

What is there besides
something out of nothing?

Wait, but not over text.

You should do something
for Valentine's day.

You wanna help me out
with your friends here or?

Well.

Nevermind. You got
other things on your mind.

I'm making something outta
nothing.

You can put whatever you wanna
see in it.

Right? Well just gonna.

Uh, ladies.

I'll see you soon.

Yeah.

How's it going, Tommy?

Pretty good.

Well take a load off.

You've been running around all
day.

I will. When the review's
over.

Yeah. That's, that's
an interesting tattoo

you got going on there.

Oh yeah. I've
had it for a while now.

It's for my girlfriend.

Oh, that's nice.

Yeah. We first met at
a tarot card reading.

She had problems growing up,
depression and those things.

She was down in Florida
to see her parents again,

it, it went bad and she called
me from her hotel room manic.

I tried calming her down
saying anything and everything

I could to make her feel better.

I was on the phone with
her for over two hours,

long enough until I, I felt
like she was gonna be okay.

Well you did the right thing.

Her dad called me the next day

telling me that she jumped

from the window of her hotel
room.

Oh my god.

Tommy, man. I'm so sorry.

I got this to mark the
first year anniversary.

It's been four years now.

Wow. Four years?

I wouldn't trade the six
months we were together

for the world.

Six...

Oh.

Uh huh.

Hey! Look at you.

One of us had to dress
up for the occasion.

It's just, I was swamped at
work and.

Oh, forget it.

It's fine.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

Hold on a sec.

Really?

What?

Do you, you really want
me to go get a glass?

Who are we trying to impress?

Okay. But what about the rest
of it?

Oh that, I'm
really not all that hungry.

What do you mean you're not
that hungry.

I ate at work.

Why would
you eat before this? I.

This isn't doing it for you?

You're right.

It doesn't matter so long as
we're here

talking to each other right now.

You know I really wish

we could have done something
like this in person.

Yeah.

Well maybe we can when you
visit.

Did you hear me?

Yeah.

Yeah. You want me to come visit.

I know. And I do.

It's just...

Is it a money thing? 'Cause
I'll just-

- No, it's not.

Work is really busy right now,
you know?

Well, I could come back.

I don't even know when I'll be
able to.

All I'm asking for is a
weekend.

I know, but it's different.

Maybe next time.

Jesus Christ, Nicky.

What?

You! I knew this wasn't a good
idea.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

All of it. You and me, it's too
much.

Too much?

Yes.

You come back East

and expect everyone to
drop everything for you.

You expect more than what I can
give you.

Do you really need that much
attention?

You need to turn a vacation
into a fucking conquest?

And for what?

You want me to relocate to
California, lock me down,

make us a thing?

What's next, huh?

Get married?

Does that about sum it up?

No.

So let's just be done with it

and call it for what it is, a
fling.

Fuck!

Come on in.

Nicky, do you think that
with you coming over tonight,

um, does that make us...

Where do you see us going?

Alysse, I, I don't see us like
that.

I'm sorry, I didn't know that...

I should have never left home.

I was really hoping with you.

I really wanted to come
home to someone every night.

Alysse, Alysse,

I promise you, you can get that.

And I'm sorry that's not me.

You're such an asshole.

Look at you.

Doing all right, babe?

Sure.

You know, I never did
get that Christmas present.

Let Tanya give you what you
need.

Call from Nick-

- Hello?

Hey Paul. How's it going?

Pretty good.

Um, is Mom home?

No, she's out.

What's up?

Nothing. You know, just
getting back in routine.

Uh oh.

Trying, you know.

Actually I'm, I'm struggling
over here.

What's going on?

There's this girl.

I, I can't get her outta my
head.

Where'd you meet her?

She's actually in New York.

She's over here?

What are you doing getting
involved with someone over here?

Sometimes the heart wants what
it wants.

Look, people are messy
and affection could be hard,

but in the end it's gotta
make some kind of sense

on some level.

Yeah, that sounds nice.

You'll get over
it. You got plenty of time.

Well, I don't feel it.

Wait 'til you're my age.

And you start looking at family
photos

where you look like an older
version of your grandfather.

You mean younger?

- No.
- Oh.

Listen. When I
was young, I got this job.

I was like 16 at the movie
theater.

Yeah. That one in Suffern.

Right.

I started going out with
the girl at the box office

and we were going out
for a couple of months

and all of a sudden,

the owner decides he's gonna
hire this assistant manager.

This guy comes in. He's like 19.

All of a sudden he starts
paying a lot of attention

to my girlfriend.

- Uh oh.
- And my girlfriend

starts paying a lot attention to
him.

Oof.

I'm like 16. So I say, what
the fuck?

I don't know what's going on.

So, I break up with her and she
winds up going out with him.

Well, you used your head.

Plus, who knows if that girl

and that manager even worked
out.

I'd say it worked out.
Those were your parents.

I didn't know things were gonna
play out the way they did,

but if those choices hadn't been
made.

You wouldn't be around.

Wow.

Don't get so hung up on this.

You could be stopping her

from something that
works for them or worse.

You could be stopping you.

Yeah. That's, that's
actually sounded advice, Paul.

Good.

Alright, you're clear with that
then?

My show's about to start.

Yeah, you got it. Be good.

Alright. Take care.

That some heavy
stuff for the holidays.

I don't mean it to be.

It's who you are.

Yeah. I'm heavy?

The heaviest, but it's okay.

I like you,

Your friends see all the
extra work you put in,

but don't think for one second,
that all that extra work,

isn't for you too.

Extra work, so like me
driving all the way out here

when I live on the other side
of town, does that count?

Of course.

You never know what's
right under your nose.

You know I've never been here?

We'll get you out more.

What is so funny?

Uh you.

Yeah?

Funny all of a sudden.

No, it's just the way you
talk, like balancing your work,

fun, friends, your girls.

Yeah. A real laugh riot.

You don't see me making fun of
your life.

Mm. You never ask me about my
work.

Your school work?

My art work.

Oh, oh, well, I can actually
see that overlapping with,

with what you study.

- Mm.
- Mm.

Mm. Mm hmm.

- Let's see.
- Alright.

Oh wow.

I thought you'd like.

You got skills.

Well, the composition is great.

I took this after...

I, I...

David and I were together for
four years.

We knew each other most of our
lives.

It was uh, it was a bad
breakup?

Uh, it happened after last
semester.

I don't know how or why, but
this photo,

this whole shoot made me think
of David.

And then I took this and I felt
better.

It's really bad when you
expect a future with someone.

I mean, don't you get mad?

I was, but I'm better now
than I was when I took this.

He was a huge part of my growing
up.

And then they're no longer
there.

And that's okay.

You have to heal in your own
way.

Hey, it got me to meet you.

That's true.

This house
feels like it's falling apart.

The bathroom door is broken.

Hey, how's it going?

I never get any privacy.

Oh, I'm good. How are you?

I'm good. I'm in
a bit of a rush, but good.

Yeah. That looks good.

Yeah. It's pretty good so far.

Well, watch it
together when I get back.

Yeah, sure.

What are you guys doing?

Chillin' like a villain.

How 'bout a thing

of popping each other's
assholes.

You help me figure out how we're
gonna

pay the rent next month.

Hey man. You doing alright?

You seem kind of...

Yeah. Perfectly fine.

Just got a plane to catch is
all.

Plane?

Yeah.

Okay. You're freaking me out,
man.

Relax.

I will.

As soon as I get back.

Hey Alysse.
I got your message.

And there's something that
we really need to talk about.

Listen, I'm really sorry,

but I actually won't be able
to take you to the museum.

He's got a plane.

What am I supposed to do?

You know, as it turns out,

Alysse was actually an art
history major.

So maybe she'd make a great tour
guide.

I gotta go. I'm sorry.

Uh. Wow.

Yeah.

Uh yeah.

Special delivery.

Nicky?

Did you miss me?

What are you doing here?

Well, I wasn't getting you out
West

anytime soon and I
really wanted to see you.

Do you know how crazy this is?

I'm getting used to it,

but I really came to
give you a dance lesson.

But there's no music.

Let's pretend.

Oh wow.

I gotta go.

- Where?
- Back home.

You came here just for this?

Yes I did.

So the airport?

Yeah, I got it covered.

I had a lovely night.

I couldn't ask for anything
more.

I'll let you know when I land.

Yes.

Let's see what happens in a
month.

And there's always this summer.

Goodbye.
