[music]

[sighing]

So, what are you saying?

Sometimes taking control means just letting go.

Yeah, and now you're getting a divorce.

Neither of us are moving out.

Things will stay mostly the same.

It's just now we'll be roommates.

Dad, you're okay with this?

Yeah. I guess.

[Carol]: Nothing lasts forever.

[Sighing]

[music]

Hey.

Hi.

So my parents are insane.

I have no idea what they're doing.

Uh-oh.

They told me they're getting a divorce, so...

Oh, my God. Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I just... I can't believe they're giving up so easily.

It's so, like, mediocre.

[gasping]

Why is your Lego all over the place?

- Sorry, I... - Just clean up your shit, okay?

[sighing] You sure you're okay?

Do you want me to make you a drink?

[unzips]

Yes. And bring me, like, five pounds of cake.

Remember our flat in the 6th of Paris?

We could get treats any time we wanted?

I would sell my ovaries for a macaron right now.

You want to tell me what happened with your parents?

No, I just... I don't want to talk about it.

Okay.

Is there anything you want to do?

[inhales and exhales]

[whirring]

You don't want to tell me what happened with Matt and Carol?

They gave up. They just hate it all,

and they gave it up. But...

you know, it's their lives.

They can fail if they want to. It's not us.

No, it's not.

That's why I didn't want to talk about it.

But what I do want to talk about

is how we're going to make sure it isn't happening to us.

We've been together five years,

and I turned 30 last month, so...

Okay. All right.

Uh... okay, what can we do?

Well, like, goal-setting.

You know, like making the most out of our lives.

Striving for the best,

for ourselves and for each other.

Um...

I feel like that's maybe a bit of a superficial solution

to a problem that doesn't exist.

Tom.

Well, no, I... I'm just... Okay, I'm sorry.

Uh, all right.

Specifically, what do you want to do?

I don't know. Like...

I can...

improve my French,

and make new business plans.

And you can...

get serious about finding a job and working out.

And, you know, maybe you can make some new friends.

Uh... okay.

I mean, my friends just hang out

and talk about my old work. It's... It's...

really embarrassing. Um...

And, sorry, how am I not serious about finding a job?

I don't know.

I just...

I'm not here during the day.

I come home, and I see you drinking and playing Lego,

and... I don't know.

What do I have to do next?

Uh, add the sugar gradually.

Oh.

I just don't understand why our lives

are so inadequate all of a sudden.

I don't think that's the right word.

Okay. What's the right word?

[turns mixer off]

It's more like...

You know what? I'm just going to go to bed, I think.

- Okay, I'm sorry. - No, no, it's okay.

- No, but I said I'm sorry. - It's... It's fine.

It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

Tom.

[turns mixer on]

Oh. You're up early.

Yeah. Well, early bird gets the worm.

Oh. Uh, I packed you a lunch. It's in the fridge.

Yeah, I already got it.

Oh.

I put a French lesson on your phone.

Oh. Thank you.

- See you. Bye. - Bye.

[lips smacking]

And so this is our main shared work area here at Module 45.

Now, usually when people start out,

we recommend that they just get a basic membership,

because that gives you access to all of our communal spaces

- and amenities. - Okay.

We also have shared conference rooms on this floor,

as well as printing and scanning facilities.

And so this is our workroom.

Some of our members require more room for drafting,

assembling prototypes, or just small-scale production.

Thank you so much. Okay, we'll see you soon.

[Man]: Okay, so gather around, everybody.

Uh, as most of you know, this is my last day.

Uh, so I'll try and keep things short and sweet.

You suck!

Thank you. I love you too.

Um, so before I move on to my new life,

Uh, I would like to introduce all of you to my successor,

the new managing director of Module 45.

- David Pellini. - Uh, Paolini.

- Paolini. - Thank you.

[applause]

I think all of us know who the real

beating heart of this place is.

Yes, Miss Lauren Frank, I'm talking about you.

[cheering and applause] I wish that I had more

than compliments and cupcakes to give you, but there it is.

Take it away, David.

Well, thank you for that, Alex.

I, uh... I got to say,

I have nothing but admiration for the hardworking staff

and community members of Module 45.

I am so excited about working with all of you,

to maximize your potential.

[cell phone chimes and vibrates]

[sighing]

Hey.

Hey.

Are you calling with good news?

Uh...

Well, you know, sometimes no news is good news, right?

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

They said they'd get back to you today,

so there's still time.

Um, I have to go.

But I'll call you back.

Lauren. [laughing]

David.

- You're looking well. - [laughing]

Thank you. So are you.

Five years is a long time, but I can't tell.

[laughing]

Well, thank you.

I thought I would have run into you again

in one of the micro-enterprise conferences.

Oh, no. That was just something I did for grad school.

Did you know that I worked here?

- No, no. [laughing]

- You're just an added bonus. - Oh.

You and me are going to make a good team.

Um, if you don't mind,

I think it's important that we keep things professional.

It's just, I don't want to give anyone the wrong impression.

I don't mind.

It makes me curious as to what the wrong impression would be.

[laughing]

Um...

You're coming out with me tonight.

My life is really different now.

So's mine.

Um, I should get back to the...

Name a place first.

[sighing]

You're not leaving here until you name a place.

Hi.

Yes, could I speak to HR, please?

Thank you.

Hi, my name's Tom Anderson. Uh...

I was actually calling to follow up about an interview

I had there last week.

Oh, two weeks? Oh, wow. Okay, great.

Well, you know, I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks. Yeah, have a great... Yeah, day. Bye.

[sighing]

[ice tinkling]

[Woman]: You didn't really want to be manager anyway.

[Lauren]: Mm...

- [Woman]: Are we going out tonight? - [Lauren]: Of course.

[Woman]: Where you want to go to?

[Lauren]: Want to go to the Rocket Room?

[Woman]: Yeaaaah! [Lauren]: Yay. I love that place.

[Woman]: I like it when there's not, like, a loud DJ.

- Hi. - Hi.

Did the stairway smell like pee to you?

Mm...

Definitely smelled like pee.

Come see what I'm making.

Well, just let me get a drink first.

Okay, show me what you got.

Okay. So it's just underway. It's not good yet.

But this is a model of Revell's city hall.

- Mmm! - See the curvature?

I don't know what I'm going to do for, like,

the circular council chambers in the middle,

but we'll figure something out.

It's going to look great.

[laughing]

I like how you have them organized by color.

What?

Nothing. You're just cute, is all.

[chuckles]

[both laughing]

[upbeat music playing]

- Hey. - Hi.

You look really nice.

Thank you.

You'd better be more of a gentleman

than you were this afternoon.

- So, how was your first day? - Well, I don't think

anyone's too thrilled about the new kid in town.

But, they'll come around.

You're confident.

[laughing]

I thought we were going to keep things professional.

Why?

I know you're attracted to me.

Yeah, that's... it's not about that.

Well, okay, I thought this would be an issue.

Module 45 hired me instead of you, okay?

That's a setback.

But you should use this as inspiration

to ask questions about yourself.

- I'm going to be my best self at all times. - Okay... Okay...

Okay. Mm-hmm.

[laughing]

Um, I can understand

how it would come across that way.

But that's not actually what I meant.

[indistinct chatter]

You invited them?

I bet you're good in front of an audience.

- Hello. - Hi.

Hi. You didn't tell us you were bringing company.

- I'm Renata. - David.

- Pleasure. - And you are...?

- I'm Nikki. - Nikki.

- [Miranda]: Hi. Miranda. - Miranda.

Uh, Miranda is so thirsty.

And so am I, actually.

Well, I guess I'd better get the first round.

Sure thing. Don't hurry back.

I can't believe that you brought me a man.

I... I... he asked me out.

- Um, I didn't know what to say. - Yeah...

It was his first day. I was trying to be polite.

And so I told him to come here.

I'm sorry.

So he thinks this is like a date.

So you didn't bring me a man.

Okay, you can have him, because it's nothing.

And I just haven't had a chance to tell him about Tom...

yet.

Okay.

- Drinks are on the way. - [Nikki]: Great.

What'd I miss?

The new manager is such a dick.

- Huge dick. - Oh... Kay.

Well, Mister Manager,

aren't you ashamed to be out on the town alone

with a married woman?

I am not married.

[Renata]: Well, you practically are.

That's what I was going to tell you.

I'm in a relationship.

No, I'm not even kidding.

There's an entire subculture of men who only date dolls.

[All]: Ew.

- No. - Come on, I do not understand that.

[indistinct chattering]

So no doll at home for you, then, David?

Uh, no.

What about a Mrs. Paolini?

Is she up late drinking chardonnay, waiting for you?

[laughing] No, no.

There was, but not anymore.

But I'm sure wherever she is now, she's drinking.

Well, good for her.

- Cheers. - [Renata]: Cheers to that.

- Cheers. - [all laughing]

[techno music playing]

Come on, keep your back straight.

Nice.

Four more.

Eleven. Come on, push.

Oh, you got five more in you.

Come on.

[camera shutter clicking]

[laughing]

You really don't have to walk me home.

I know.

I do it all the time.

I'm sure you do. [cell phone chiming]

Oh.

Oh! David!

David... Don't!

[laughing] What are you writing?

[cell phone chiming]

[chuckling]

Not funny.

Tell me about your young Adonis.

He's an urban planner.

Um... I don't know. He's...

between jobs right now.

He keeps getting these contracts that are, like,

six months or a year, and nothing permanent.

So he's letting you carry him?

No. No, we're committed to each other.

Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.

You're going...

you're going to have to be nicer to me

if you want me to stick around.

You don't want me to be nice.

Um, Tom's waiting for me. I've got to...

I'll see you at work.

Yeah.

[music]

Hey.

How's the city hall going?

Mm...

What's going on?

Just wasting my life in front of the computer.

- How are the girls? - They're fine.

What's wrong?

[sighing]

I lied earlier.

About the job thing.

I got an email from the city. I didn't get it.

Ugh. I thought you were so perfect for that one.

I'm sorry, I just thought with your background

on the transit city strategy, they'd hire you for sure.

- [sighing] - Well, they didn't.

They're crazy not to hire you. What are they thinking?

I don't understand how the city works.

Like, they fill these desks with dull bureaucratic yes-men

- while the city is, like... - Okay, okay...

- literally falling apart. - Come on.

Okay, come here.

You're starting to rant. [sighing]

It just makes me so fucking mad.

Like, look at you. You're so smart,

and adorable, and loyal, and funny, and...

[sighing]

We should get married.

Uh... [sighing]

Um...

Oh, you don't want to.

No, no, that's not it at all. I mean...

I was actually going to ask you

- once I got a job. - Really?

- Yeah. - Oh!

I-I-I can't imagine being with anyone else.

Me neither.

So, when should we do it?

Oh, I don't know. [laughing]

I hadn't thought that far ahead, really.

I love you so much.

I love you too.

- What do we do now? - I don't know.

I think traditionally we're just supposed to kiss for a bit.

- Oh, okay. Yeah. - Yeah.

[laughing]

You cooked.

[Tom]: Yeah. I didn't burn anything.

[Lauren]: It looks great. Yum.

- Sausage. - Sleep okay?

- Yeah. Uh-huh. - Yeah?

Mm. They're good.

- Yeah? - No, no, I have sausage mouth.

No, no, it's okay. I love sausage mouth.

Mm...

[laughing]

Gross.

You want some eggs with that sausage?

No. No, I don't want eggs!

Kiss? [laughing]

[Nikki]: What happened last night?

[Lauren]: Uh, nothing.

After you left with David, what happened?

Okay, I am going to tell you something,

but you can't tell anyone, okay?

If you slept with the only single straight man

in this entire office, I swear to God...

Okay, first of all, that is really gross,

because he's, like, 20 years older than me.

And second of all, I have Tom.

Okay, well, I wouldn't say that's gross,

because I would for sure hit that.

Okay, well, congratulations, now you can,

because Tom asked me to marry him.

- What? - Yeah.

Show me the ring.

Nah, there's no ring yet. He just...

I don't know, he got down on one knee out of the blue last night

and asked me, and...

- Wow. - I know, it's crazy.

But listen, you really can't tell anyone yet, though.

Okay. I won't.

Okay.

[techno music playing]

Why are you smiling? That was terrible.

Okay, well, I'm a bit distracted today.

Got engaged last night.

Whoa.

Congratulations, man. That's huge.

- Thank you. - That's big.

Still got to squat, though.

- Yeah. - Here.

One last set.

This time, I want you to lock that core out and push.

Watch.

- See? Give it another go. - Cool. Okay.

- You're grinning. - Sorry.

Stick your butt out.

Good.

[camera shutter clicking]

[camera shutter clicking]

Hi.

Teacher, I think I might need some help

with my homework.

Um...

yeah, okay.

Uh...

[laughing]

- What's wrong? - Well, I just...

I don't know exactly what to do.

[laughing]

Sure you do.

Grownups always know what to do.

[moaning]

Are you okay?

[moaning]

[both laughing]

Fuck me.

Hold on.

[panting]

Sorry, can we just... Can we... Can you come back?

What's...

- Okay, yeah. - Works for me.

- Like that? - Yeah, yeah, like that.

- Okay. - Right there.

[panting]

Yeah.

Pull my hair.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

[moaning]

[groaning] I'm gonna cum.

Okay, hold on.

Hold on, hold on. Here.

What... What?

Cum on my face, teacher.

You sure?

Yeah.

Do it.

I'm sorry.

Sorry, I don't know if I can.

What's wrong?

I just... I don't know. I can't.

[both laughing]

- Sorry. - Aww.

I thought you would like it.

Yeah, I... I do, I do.

I like it, I just...

Yeah, I don't know.

It just didn't seem like you or something.

Oh. Well, that's kind of the point, right?

Yeah. Yeah, I know.

Okay. We don't have to do it if you don't want to.

Okay.

Do you want me to go down on you?

Maybe... like, maybe in a bit.

Okay.

[rain pattering]

[sighing]

- Hi. - Hey.

Can you make sure these go out today?

- For sure, yeah. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

[phone ringing]

Good afternoon, Module 45.

Sure.

If you email Module...

if you email memberships@module45.com,

um, they will get back to you within 24 hours.

Thanks. Bye.

Why don't you introduce yourself when people call?

Uh, because they're not calling to learn my name.

Sounds impersonal.

Okay, well, then,

I will introduce myself from now on.

It's not about that.

It's about making decisions to demonstrate your value

to the people around you.

Follow me.

David?

Close the door.

Now lock it.

[lock clicks]

Come here.

You being bad, Lauren?

When we were at the conference together,

you knew how to behave.

Do you remember how to behave?

Down.

[techno music playing]

Good. Very nice.

One, two. One, two. One, two.

Put the hand up. One, two.

[Lauren]: Hey.

Oh, hey, beautiful. [laughing]

- Oh, hey, David. - Hey.

This is my guy, Tom.

Hey. I'm her guy.

- Good to meet you. - Yeah.

I hear you're a bit of a gym rat.

Oh, um, yeah.

You know, got to get big.

[laughing]

Where do you work out?

At the boxing gym near Roncey.

Oh, yeah, I used to go there.

Yeah, I won a few provincial championships back in the day.

I didn't make it to the nationals, but anyway...

- Whoa. - Cool. Yeah.

You should show me some moves someday or something.

I think I might be in a different weight class.

Oh, yeah, right. No, I'm not sparring yet.

Well, if you're not sparring, you're not boxing.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Yeah, that's fair.

[dog barking distantly]

So that's the guy they hired instead of you, huh?

Yup.

Is he like that all the time?

Uh, kind of, yeah.

So sorry.

[Carol]: Oh, I don't know why he does this.

Your dad's texting me from the pub for updates.

- What's he saying? - He wants to know

"if there'll be any real food" That's his words.

- "At the party." - Why didn't he stay and help?

He's trying to give me space.

[Nikki]: So why is he texting you then?

Because he likes to torture me.

Lauren and Tom are just like you guys.

No, we're not. Um...

Anyway, so I think this is doable.

Tom's family isn't coming into town until the wedding anyway,

so we're only going to have about 30 people

at the engagement party.

I think that's going to be fine.

I mean, it's just going to be intimate.

I don't know, I'm worried that we don't have a wow factor.

You know, like do we need a theme?

No, I feel like if you just start trying to impress people,

it just comes off as being forced.

Yeah, that's true. Okay, so tasks.

Does everyone know what they have to do?

- We've only got three weeks. - [All]: Yeah.

Knock, knock. Hello, ladies.

- Hey. - [All]: Tom!

- Hi. - [Lauren]: How are you?

Hi. Good.

Oh, this looks great. Hard at work.

Yeah. You know, we've gotten a little carried away, but...

Macaron, croquembouche.

- [Lauren speaking French] - Am I seeing a theme?

Hey, this is serious bridesmaids business. No interfering.

Yeah, you just open up that wallet

and leave the rest to us.

Well, truth be told,

his wallet's a little on the light side these days.

Lauren.

It's true.

Um, so we should probably get going. Um...

You have to get to the store before it closes.

Thank you so much, Mom. I really, really appreciate it.

Um...

You guys know what you have to do, yes?

Okay, amazing. Thank you.

- Bye. - Okay, I'll see you soon.

- Bye. - Bye honey.

[sighing]

Do you want some water?

No.

[water pouring]

Are you okay?

Are you feeling sick, or...?

I don't want to talk about it.

[sighing]

No word on any of the jobs then, I guess, huh?

Yeah, I just need to sleep.

Are you mad about the party?

It's fine.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, I just... I just need to sleep, I think.

You can sleep after.

Lauren.

[sighing]

[sighing]

Hmm. Your model's looking good.

Are you going to do the arches on the square?

I don't know yet.

Where are you going?

What do you mean?

I don't know. It's Saturday.

Yeah. Unemployed people don't get weekends.

So you're going to the gym?

Yeah, going to the gym, work on some cover letters.

That kind of thing.

Okay. Well, have fun.

Thanks.

[door opening and closing]

So you're a student, you said.

Yes.

Engineering.

Hey, no kidding.

My sister's an engineer.

- She teaches too. - Oh.

- What year are you in? - Third.

- Amazing. - [laughing]

I tell you, I couldn't teach her to tie her own shoelaces,

- let alone engineering. - [laughing]

Anyway, this is it.

As you can see, it's pretty terrific.

Really clean...

- and I just put some new tile in. - Yeah.

- Wow, that's great. - Quiet neighbours upstairs.

Nice and bright.

Yeah, no, it looks perfect.

- I'm just going to... - Yeah, yeah.

Great water pressure.

Yeah, and, I mean, it's a steal.

- How much is it again? - It's $1,150.

Which is amazing, you know, for this neighbourhood.

Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

Um, well, yeah, I'd love to take an application.

Sure, I'll just grab one from the car.

Take another minute and look around.

- Okay, thank you. - No problem.

[sighing]

[door opening and closing]

[door opening and closing]

[Lauren]: Hey.

Hey.

Have you eaten yet?

No.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Just my tummy is a bit off.

Hmm.

[sighing]

Hmm, okay. Well, I bought some fresh ginger the other day.

I can make you a ginger mint tea.

Can I have acetaminophen?

You take that for everything.

It's not even going to make you feel better.

Please.

Okay, fine.

But I'm making you ginger mint too.

Okay.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

[pills rattling]

See, there's barely anything left.

Tom.

Where did you... Where did you get this?

Don't worry about it.

But how did you pay for it?

I had a new card in the mail.

You put it on credit?

Which one's your left hand?

No, I think it goes on my right.

No, no, no. It's left. I looked it up.

Okay.

Thank you.

See, I knew you'd be worried about the price of the ring,

so I decided to get the cheap champagne to celebrate.

Do men get engagement rings too? Is that a thing?

Uh, I don't think so, but now I definitely want one.

[laughing]

- Okay, ready? - Yeah.

Okay.

[cork popping] Oh! [laughing]

Shit. Sorry.

Sorry.

I was shaking it up all afternoon.

[both laughing]

[music]

Come over to my place tonight.

You want to fuck me twice in one day?

That could be fun.

No, I want to make you dinner,

and then fuck you twice in one day.

Oh.

I don't think I can.

[laughing]

We can still have fun now, though.

I can get sex anywhere.

But I like you.

[inhaling and sighing]

Okay, I have to go. I have to go.

I have to go.

[sighing]

[door opening]

[music]

Hey, babe.

Hey.

It smells good in here.

Yeah, I got South Indian Dosa Mahal.

Oh. Uh, did you save me some pakoras?

Of course I did. Got it all.

There's tonnes of food. Come join with me.

Great, you're the best.

Um, I'm just going to get a quick shower

before I sit down with you. I've just been running around all day.

I feel really sweaty, okay?

- Yeah. - Okay.

Oh, don't be scared.

- Hi. - Hi.

How's my girl?

- Good. - Yeah?

Yeah.

[Tom]: When am I going to get mine?

Oh, it's coming. Don't you worry.

- Yeah? Is it going to be big? - It's going to be so big.

[laughing]

[Nikki]: You're sure quiet today.

I think somebody's getting cold feet.

[Nikki]: As if.

[Carol]: Well, there's nothing wrong with changing your mind.

Who said I'm changing my mind? I'm just...

Yeah, see? They're perfect for each other.

[cell phone vibrating]

Hello?

Hi. Yes.

Um, just one second.

Hi. Yeah, sorry about that.

Really?

Um, yeah.

No, I'm... Yeah, I'm fine.

That's...

That's great. That's great news.

Yeah.

It's a great apartment.

Yeah. Thank you.

Okay, bye.

[music]

[cutlery clattering]

- Lauren, hi. - Hi.

Come on in.

[both laughing]

Uh, sorry, it's a bit messy.

It's fine. It's, um...

it's nice.

- Can I get you anything? - Sure.

Um, do you have any whiskey?

Yeah. Yeah.

You got engaged.

It's not serious.

How can promising to spend the rest of your life with someone

not be serious?

[sighing]

- Do you want me to go? - No. What do you want?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I think I know what you want.

Take your clothes off.

All of it.

[panting]

Can I get you some water?

Sure.

[sighing]

[tap water running]

Um, can you bring me my clothes, please?

Yeah. [cell phone vibrating]

Hey, Nikki.

[laughing]

Hi. Yeah.

Sorry I took off like that.

I just... I went to the park to get some air,

and then I lost track of time.

It was so funny running into Tom at the office the other day.

He looked pretty much just how I pictured him.

No, Nikki, that wasn't...

That doesn't make any sense. Um...

I will call you back in a bit, okay? Bye.

Fuck.

[sighing]

Okay, I have to go.

It was bound to happen at some point.

David...

Some people are just meant to be together.

[music]

[tap water running]

[dishes clattering]

[cell phone vibrating]

[Tom]: Hey, you coming to bed?

[clearing throat]

Oh. Hi.

I didn't think anyone else would be in this early.

So I texted you 18 times last night.

I know. I'm sorry.

Guess you're sleeping with your gross boss, huh?

You didn't think he was gross, like, a week ago.

Nikki...

What?

We met before I met Tom. Okay?

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

It was years ago at this conference in Seattle,

and it was just this really short, intense time,

and then it was over because he was married.

I never thought he would end up here.

So what?

You're getting married.

Have a little bit of self-control.

Please don't judge me, okay?

I am a person who loves you, so just talk to me.

Okay.

Uh...

so this is it.

Like, I'm going to be David's secretary

for the rest of my life.

Like, married to Tom until we get bored

and decide that we want a divorce.

Like, that's what my life is going to be?

Can't I do better?

Better than what? Better how?

I don't know, just better.

I'm going to go back to work.

[pen tapping continuous]

Lauren.

What are you doing out here without a coat?

I just needed some air.

Hey, I have a great idea.

Why don't we go away to Niagara this weekend.

Think about it.

Why don't you meet me in the storage room in 15.

Okay.

Everything all right?

Yeah.

Don't catch a cold.

Hey.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry, I can't do this anymore.

Please don't make me chase you anymore.

David...

- I'm getting married. - No, you're not.

You're smarter than that.

It's what I want.

You don't know what you want.

Just...

[music]

Lauren, is this a new draft?

[phone ringing]

Hey.

Guess what?

I know this is going to sound crazy,

but I quit my job today.

What?

What's wrong?

Are you sleeping with David?

He texted me like a half-hour ago.

Well, he's lying.

He sent me a picture of you in that schoolgirl outfit, so...

I...

- What's that? - Um...

Don't stop. If there's an explanation for this,

I'd love to hear it.

Um...

we met years ago at a conference.

- Okay. - And I'm sorry

I didn't tell you that before.

I...

Tom.

Tom, I'm really sorry.

No, don't be.

You upgraded.

I told him that it was over.

I'm sorry, I don't know what I was thinking.

I know exactly what you were thinking.

Can we just talk about this?

Please?

[techno music playing]

Hey, little buddy. What's up?

This guy's getting married.

I want to spar.

Yeah, we're getting there, man. I'm not going to fight you...

No, I want to do it tonight. I'm ready right now.

Have you been drinking?

What if a fight started and you couldn't stop it?

- I could stop it. - Yeah?

Let's just sit down...

[grunting and coughing]

- Go home, Tom. - [panting]

[groaning]

I'm not going to help you back up if you try to punch me again.

[streetcar bell clanging distantly]

Okay, so we'll just get you to sign...

here and here.

Okay.

Everything okay?

Yes. Perfect.

Great.

Um, I'm actually not feeling very well.

- Can I just use your... - Oh, of course.

Thank you.

[vomiting]

[timer ticking]

[timer ringing]

[Answering machine]: This is Nikki.

If you know me, you know I don't check my voicemail.

If you don't know me, then...

I'm just getting a few things. I'll be just a little bit.

Just stay as long as you need to.

What happened to your face?

I got in a fight.

Where?

[zips bag]

[sighing]

Sorry, it just seems really unlike you.

Yeah, well, maybe this is what I'm like now.

Um...

I got you Scotch and macaron.

You can't gift your way out of this.

Okay. Um...

I'm just going to make you a drink.

No, Lauren, can you please cut that shit out?

[drawer closes]

Okay.

Um...

so I'm...

pregnant.

I don't believe you.

Okay. Um...

Here.

What? What does that prove?

Well, they're positive...

Why would I ever believe anything

that came out of your mouth ever again?

Tom, I wouldn't lie about this...

Well, do you have any more of those?

Tests? Yes, tests.

- Yeah, like one. - Great, where?

- In the bathroom. - Perfect.

Tom...

- What, you want me to... - Yes.

I want you to piss on one of those things and show me.

[scoffing]

Okay.

You're just going to stand there?

Okay.

I can't with you watching me.

Well...

Fine.

[urine tinkling]

- Okay, give it to me. - Oh, it's all wet.

Ugh.

[ice tinkling]

Okay.

So...

I mean, you fucked David too, right?

So who knows?

Um, we always used condoms.

I was really careful about that, so...

Oh, that's sweet. That's very sweet.

What about other guys?

No.

It was just him. I promise.

Said the cheating liar.

Are you just saying that, because you think that's what I want to hear?

No. It was just him, and it's over.

Well, that's...

Good?

Yeah, it's good. It's very good.

Yeah, you just fucked the one guy,

but you always used condoms, so everybody wins.

[sighing]

What are you going to do?

You going to keep it?

I like the way our life is right now.

- That's bullshit. - I do.

You'd make a good mom.

You take good care of me.

Oh... well, you like being mothered a little bit.

I don't need you to be my mom.

But you like it when I pack your lunch,

or make the bed.

Or, you know, like write you a shopping list.

- You like that. - I hate that shit.

But you ask my opinion about, like, every little decision.

Yeah, because I know you want to be in control of everything.

No, I really...

That is such, such a lie.

I hate that you have doubts about us,

because I never had doubts.

[sighing]

I hate that I'm pregnant.

No, you don't.

On, like, our third date,

you were like, "I want to have two kids."

And I remember vividly,

because it freaked the shit out of me.

- What? - Yeah. You don't remember that?

No, I don't want one. I've never wanted one.

That's actually kind of a relief.

Um...

so I'll make an appointment...

this week.

So is there anything else that I don't know?

I got my own apartment today.

- What? - I'm sorry.

I...

How could you just make that decision

without even talking to me about it?

[sighing] I'm sorry. I'm...

I'm an idiot,

and I was trying to be prepared...

- Prepared for what... - I don't know.

So you just had this whole other thing.

- You need to go, Lauren. - No... Can we talk about this?

No. You have your own apartment.

You can go enjoy that.

But, Tom...

[door closing]

[alarm beeping]

[alarm silences]

[sighing]

[cell phone vibrating]

Hello?

Uh, yes, this is Lauren Frank.

Yes, I'll be there on Thursday.

Um... yup.

Oh, um...

what if no one can be there to pick me up?

Okay. Um...

Like, can I call a cab?

Okay.

Yeah, no, it's okay. I'll figure it out.

Thank you. Bye.

[music]

[knocking on door]

- Hi. - [Carol]: Hi.

[Lauren]: How did you know I was here?

[Carol]: Tom told me.

Can I come in?

[Lauren]: Uh, of course. Yeah.

Um, I know it doesn't look like much right now,

but I'm cleaning, and it's cozy.

Well, I can sweep, or wipe, or clean the cupboards.

Oh.

No, don't worry about it. It's really...

I'm almost out of cleaning stuff anyway.

But, yeah, have a look around.

So you and Tom are finished then?

Is that what he said to you?

Well, you sure gave up quick.

I don't think that's really what happened.

Well, better now than 20 years from now.

You've never liked to change course mid-stream.

Huh.

Maybe you're growing up.

[punk rock music playing]

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

Hi.

Look, I know you don't want to talk to me right now,

but my appointment at the clinic is booked for tomorrow.

[Carol]: Who are you talking to?

I need someone to pick me up.

Why don't you call Nikki?

I can't. She wants a baby so bad.

How about your parents?

I'd really like it to be you.

Tom?

Hold on.

What time?

4:00 p.m.

Got it. I'll meet you there.

Okay.

Okay.

[sighing]

[sighing]

Thanks.

You okay?

Yeah. I'm okay.

How are you?

[sighing]

Not great.

Um, so your new place is on Roncey?

Yeah. Um, I was actually wondering

if I can come home with you for a bit,

because I don't have a real bed yet.

Um...

Is that okay?

Yeah. Yeah, no problem.

Thanks.

[door closing]

Are you okay? Do you want to...?

Um, is it okay if I go in the...?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's just, I think I need to lie down.

- Sure. - Okay.

- Here, I'll take that. - Thank you.

Thanks.

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

Speaking.

Oh, yes. Okay, yeah...

Mm-hmm.

Right. Oh, wow.

[muffled]: Uh, okay, yeah. That sounds great.

Um, yeah, of course. I can start on Monday...

No problem.

[sighing]

[crying]

[knocking on door]

[door opening]

Hey.

[door closing]

Are you, uh...

Are you having second thoughts about it?

No. No.

You sure?

Yeah.

I'm so sorry.

I know you have no reason to believe me,

but...

but I feel sick when I think about how much I hurt you.

I want to say that everything's going to be okay,

and that we can just sweep everything under the rug.

But you're supposed to be my partner,

and every decision you made, you made without me.

Well, I just...

[sighing]

You're...

you're right.

I know that I'm not supposed to say this,

because it's too late,

but I really miss you.

Lauren...

- I... - I'm sorr... I should...

- I should go. - No, no, don't.

Don't, please. Just stay.

I want you to stay.

[sniffling]
