What about you, Ryan?

You'll likely see clients before anyone else.

Nope, you covered it all. Nothing to add.

Or like the worst fucking gift for my wife for Christmas.

Really? What'd you get? You know like she got me like a fucking home sign.

What do you mean home sign? Like home. Like the worst thing. You know like

laugh, love shit.

Oh, yep. Yeah, that.

And then like I had to break it the next day. I was like, I'm not gonna fucking

use this.

That's horrible.

Sorry, Mom.

Yeah.

You want to go to McDonald's?

Uh, I guess I'll go with Laura.

I'm good after.

Where is she now?

India still, I think.

It's all right. She'll come back.

Are you going to visit her?

No.

Okay.

You sure?

Yeah

Yeah, but you can smell her back there.

Did you play in school?

No, it's not very good.

We're fine.

No, you're good.

It's okay.

So how do you know Pat again?

He played basketball with my brother at UNB.

Really? Mm -hmm.

So he knew I played, but I never, like, did the typical or anything.

You've never been here before? No.

I played women's league since I moved here. It was actually a nice change.

Do you move here for work?

No, I go to U of O.

Really? What do you study?

I'm in fashion.

My last year.

I can tell.

That I'm in fashion or that I'm in my last year?

Both.

What do you want to do when you finish?

I don't know.

Good. Yeah?

What do you do?

I'm in a night sale for a lot of people coming to town with me.

You love it.

It's more than special.

I can tell.

Do you want any more? No.

So what are you taking school to?

I'm trying to learn literature.

Is that beautiful for your job?

No.

Are you guys going out tonight?

Yeah, you're not going to come?

I might.

Well, going somewhere close, I think probably Clinton.

I don't know.

All right, I think I'm gonna grab a camera.

Good idea.

What are you saying?

Nothing. Uh -huh.

Hey.

Good.

I was just thinking, like, imagine, like, you piss off your neighbor or your

neighbor's son, bullied by your son, and he gets home and he's like, I'm pretty

sure Miss Fawcett is a witch.

What?

I heard Brad got into a fight with his boyfriend at your party.

Who told you that?

It's not gossip, it's the truth.

I said something you shouldn't have.

You heard he apologized.

Yeah, you can't say sorry for everything.

Why didn't you come?

I was on a date.

With a guy?

Technically, yes.

Sounds like it turned out well.

Right.

This guy.

He came to the date in winter boots and a backwards hat.

Or do you mean a super burger?

I wish.

Did you have on white sunglasses?

No.

Luckily, it was at night, but you know what you didn't have?

Um... A sun?

Nope. A glass eye? No.

No, stop.

A peg leg.

He had a thumb ring.

That's so much worse.

No one actually wears those. I swear to God.

I swear to God.

That's the way to meet him.

Fucking Tom.

I was out with him and Ashley at a party last week, and they would not shut up

about this guy.

So I finally gave up and told them to give him my number.

Gross.

So,

where are you going out of there?

Now get this. So he messaged me last night, on Sunday, and he says, Why

don't you have a hotel room?

I don't know. Something for work, I guess.

I mean,

maybe if you would have made some kind of effort, I would have.

Fucking asked me out for a drink, and then maybe after a couple, asked me to

to your hotel room.

It was crazy.

Hey, is Brad Swiper going to be here?

He moved in, so I assume so.

What was his name?

I don't know.

What's his deal?

I don't know. We literally never talked.

What is this? It's you.

That's me?

It's the last date story you told me.

That's a compliment.

Exactly.

Hey, come in, come in.

How's it going?

Can I get you guys anything?

Hey, man.

How are you?

Oh, you brought a snack.

Thanks.

Can I get you a drink?

Hi, boys.

I'd love a beer. Hello, Vonda.

Hello. Paul, beer?

Yes.

Sorry, are we making time?

Paul wanted to walk.

Yes, they'll be in a minute.

You guys walk, dude.

It's freezing.

Hey,

sorry, guys.

Hey, man, how's it going?

You know, it's just an honor to be invited.

Kind of hard not to if you're going to be staying here.

Staying here?

I think most people would say living here.

Such an only child.

Come on, it's about to start.

Hey, uh, I just wanted to apologize because the scene at your place the

night. No, no, don't worry about it.

Okay, I just don't want to be like a thing.

It's not. I don't think anyone took it as anything.

Okay, good.

Hey, uh, what's up?

Hi.

You need me to refer or I just sit on it?

We need too many pillows.

Really. Take it off.

Um,

we've been here for a while.

Waiting for you guys.

That's the truth.

We need a quote today, Ryan.

Okay?

It was completely unacceptable that it took so long to get back to us.

You knew that we were opening these new stores this quarter.

You've known for months.

Today, Ryan.

Today. Ryan?

Hello? You're not my only customer, Mika.

What?

I have other projects.

That's why it's taking me so long to get back to you.

Well, for the rest of the day, let's pretend we're your only customer.

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah.

Just in the car. Let me get home and I'll have something for you.

Hotspot, your fucking phone, Ryan. I don't care, okay? We have a planning

meeting tomorrow afternoon. I need these today, so I can at least review them in

the morning.

Okay.

Will that come in today?

By end of business.

Call me when you have them.

Will do.

Would you be friends with me if I voted conservative?

Hypothetically?

There's not an election on, for sure.

Okay, well, are you still practicing homosexual?

I plan to be, at least hypothetically.

Doesn't that sort of preclude you from voting conservative, then?

What are they going to do if they win, put me in prison?

Does your vote get them a majority?

Sure, I'd put them over the top.

Prison for sure, to celebrate.

But you'd still be friends with me.

I'd put you in that nice jail up by the lake, I confess, for sure.

Thank you.

Let's go back a sec. Why are you thinking about voting conservative?

Everyone at work is people of the right wing.

Sounds lovely.

You did not say anything.

Then I started pretending to agree.

Now I just might agree.

Do you actually vote?

Yeah, usually.

Wild. You still coming to Pam's birthday party, right?

When's that?

Friday. I emailed you about it.

Yeah, I got it.

So you'll be there?

I don't know. Probably.

Your friends are shit.

You have to come.

Alright, whatever.

So you'll be there?

Yeah.

Fuck I

didn't

realize you were here Last night,

you know called him sick to work this morning What

are you up to today nothing

Are you going to the birthday party for Sam tonight?

No. I think Shelly might come by later.

Oh, shit.

Yep.

What about you? Are you going to go?

I told Brad I would.

Maybe he's worried no one will show.

Then what does it matter if you go or not?

Maybe I'll see if Bonner wants to go.

She went to her parents last night.

What's the point of this game?

You just gotta walk around.

That's pretty much it.

What are you doing?

I have a fucking problem.

Why?

I don't want Brad to get all pissy.

Thank you.

Hey, thanks for coming. Hey, man. No problem. Happy birthday.

First for us.

He actually had to go away for work yesterday.

Oh, really? On your birthday?

Well, luckily, my actual birthday was Tuesday.

Oh.

Of course, it was his idea to have a party.

That's his idea?

Yeah.

I just feel like your last birthday should be your 30th.

After that, you're a real nature.

I feel like 12th would be the last, but... On your birthday?

Yeah, totally.

Like, who's excited for their birthday at this point? I don't know.

I wish none of these people were here right now.

It's all right.

No, it's okay. Don't worry about it. I told Brad I'd be here. We just got him

while I'm here.

I actually called him sick to work today.

He'd rather be pissed than available.

Really? Yeah, sorry.

Are you contagious?

No, no, I don't think so. I spent the whole day while I'm on the couch, so who

knows?

Then don't be like me to say I came here to see Brad.

No, it's all right.

It's all right.

We'll stay.

If you're sure.

But yeah, you definitely don't want to be on the other end of one of Brad's

micro -grudges.

I only agreed to this to avoid one myself.

So wait, why are we here?

At least you don't have to pretend.

You can just have your shitty time and go home. I have to endure to the bitter

end.

Lord, I can tell you're doing a lot of fake smiling.

It's not all fake.

But mostly yes.

Especially around Brad's friends.

You guys going out tonight?

Yeah, we're going to somewhere nice. Do you know what?

They do a drag show there on Fridays.

Fun, but I think it's mostly for the straights.

So I can pretend to see what it's like on the other side of the aisle or under

the dress or whatever.

Sounds like a good time.

It'll be fine.

We just don't have a lot of gay friends, so it's kind of awkward to pick a place

for everybody.

It will be fine, but I don't know.

Hope it helps. You gave me your pass on the train show.

One less person making a word to me.

Afraid? Of what?

To come?

No, of what I really do feel like hell.

Mm -hmm.

I'm not even drinking.

Mm -hmm.

Plus, you're the only person here that I know.

Once we got there, I doubt you'd have much time to babysit.

Well, you never know.

Thanks, but, uh... I think it'll be one less drink for you to be mad at.

I'm not mad at you.

I don't know if I'm pretty mad. I mean, forget it.

You literally ruin everything.

Everything's lame.

That's true.

You guys are the worst.

What do you think I think?

You should come.

Despite my moaning, it will be fun.

More than that, it's... All day.

There you go.

But only if you don't touch me.

Deal.

But I can't promise you I won't have to talk to someone besides me.

I can hear you now.

How was last night?

Bad.

Why bad?

Couldn't get it up? She was on her period.

I have to get you up there without having shaved.

How was your party?

Very lame.

What are you doing today?

Uh, I gotta call Laura at 11.

What time is it there?

Fuck, I don't know, 9?

Jesus. I gotta go to the library right after that.

Yeah?

Gotta finish this fucking paper by Monday.

Later. See ya.

He can't play sports anymore.

That's brutal. He's in rugby and football.

He's like a little guy, but like he's got a... Hi, I'm Ryan.

I don't think we've met before.

I think I wanted to go to Ottawa for the weekend.

So where were you?

It was my mom's birthday.

Okay, mom's birthday.

You managed to survive somehow.

Yeah, just barely.

That's true. You almost got cobbled up.

No Paul?

He's got a paper new wall.

Why, yeah.

Showering? What do you think?

I think you definitely need to shower. Oh, right, of course. Because of all the

basketball. Well, just like general, too.

What I'm saying is you should shower more.

Is that obvious?

It's not.

Damn. Why didn't anyone tell me?

Probably because you're scared of people.

Right. Because I'm so intimidating.

Well, it's because you're so fashionable, like right now.

Don't even.

Really, Cod?

Wichita?

Wichita? Yeah, like in Kansas.

No, I was going to ask you for your number later, but now I don't think I

Again with the intimidation.

Well, I was only wondering that maybe you shouldn't.

Is that right?

Mm -hmm.

And what did this Warner have to say?

You know, although I think they were mostly trying to get at me themselves.

Who was it?

Paul. Makes sense.

Somebody asked him, and he apparently has a girlfriend.

Is that true?

Uh... Like, at least in his head.

Think you could jump in there?

Yeah, sorry, dude. Mine is just... Oh, yeah. Sorry, I'll be quick.

Just jump in after.

There are towels in there.

Thanks. Ask me later.

Ask you what?

Sorry, who is this?

It's Sam.

Sam. Oh.

Are you calling me from a payphone?

Uh, yeah.

Is everything alright?

Yeah, everything's fine.

So why are you calling me from a payphone?

So, uh, what's up?

Um, what are you doing right now?

Working.

Technically.

Any chance you want to take a break?

I'm right by your place.

Yeah, sure.

So are you from here originally?

I usually just say yes, but I'd be lying.

I'm from the suburbs.

Oh, y 'all.

Yeah. I don't think anybody's actually born here.

Anyone who is is smart enough to leave.

Not your first choice?

I guess it was at some point.

I feel like the garbage strike was the closest Toronto ever got to being

Oh, yeah?

I don't know.

It's like Toronto spent so much time pretending to be things it isn't.

During the garbage strike, it couldn't pretend.

Been working on that theory for a while.

Sometimes I think I'd like to live in a small town.

Yeah?

Like, I have friends who live on a farm.

They seem happy.

But?

But then I actually go and visit them.

Completely different world.

Definitely not one I fit in.

Right.

So, can I ask?

Why did you call me from a payphone?

That's dumb, really.

Probably, but why does that matter?

Fine.

It's just, you know, Brad.

He took computer science and works for a phone company.

I just worry sometimes that he might be spying on me.

You really think he'd do that?

No, not really.

It's just, he gets so jealous, and he's away all the time.

I call people mostly.

I don't text other guys.

Even friends?

I never liked texting anyway, so whatever.

I'm sure if I was single I would, but I just don't want to raise any suspicion.

Do you have a history of raising suspicions?

No more than anyone else.

I can't remember the last time someone called me on a pay phone.

Or the last time I used one.

I only answered because I thought it was an emergency.

Well, lucky for me, you did.

Sorry, I'm not sure I know what you do.

I'm a photographer.

Really? Let me finish.

I'm a photographer for the city.

City.

Municipality, yeah.

So you take pictures of what buildings?

If I'm lucky.

Park. Or beaches on a good day.

Subways and compliance photos on a bad day.

And today?

I took photos of a scrapyard this morning.

Good. Better than I'd hoped.

Afternoon?

Tonight. Streetcars.

One after another after another.

It wasn't a date.

But you went out, just the two of you.

Yeah.

How? I don't understand.

You just called me.

Out of nowhere?

Yeah.

Went out? Yeah.

That's weird.

Why? I go out with just you.

Yeah, but we're friends.

We weren't always.

And we didn't go out when we weren't.

Don't you think this is weird?

Dan seems like a nice guy.

So you guys are going to go out again?

I don't think so.

But maybe.

No, we'll probably never go out again.

Throw him off.

Like, what did you guys even talk about?

Why do you care so much? It's just so weird. He isn't our friend. Yeah, he is.

No, he's Brad's boyfriend.

He's like, okay, he's like our friend, yeah, but he isn't our friend.

His number isn't even in my phone. Is it in your phone?

What? Sam's phone number. Is it in your phone?

No. See?

I don't like adding people's numbers.

We have enough friends already.

I mean, you know what I mean? Who wants to make new friends?

Wait, are you single?

Like, are you going to start inviting him to stuff?

Well, I wasn't going to, but it seems like you really want me to.

It's just so weird.

Him and Brad are coming with us to the zoo. Are you going to be able to contain

yourself?

Brad's our friend, so yeah.

Oh, as long as it makes sense to you.

I just don't get how you don't see this as weird.

Can't two people have coffee?

No.

Coming tonight to the party?

I have an early class tomorrow.

Aren't you like 20?

I'm a very old 21.

Ancient. Basically 22.

Hey, when's she supposed to call me?

I think you were supposed to call me.

Oh, is that how it works?

I mean, I clearly don't know. Why don't you tell me?

You really don't know?

I guess not.

Okay, so you call me, ask me to dinner, I tell you I'll think about it,

and then you call back again, desperate, and I get in.

Then what?

Go to dinner?

Maybe.

Seems like a lot of work.

Yeah, definitely.

Totally worth it.

You're sure?

You aren't?

How about that? You just come to my house for dinner.

You can cook.

Guess we'll find out.

Wednesday.

Finally. What's up?

Brad isn't coming.

Why? He's going away to work tonight, and he says he's back.

What a few.

What time's his flight?

Late. I don't know when exactly.

Well, what did he even do last night?

Nothing. Why didn't he pack then?

I can't say. Why didn't he pack?

Just tell him to come. We aren't going to be back late.

He won't change his mind. He'll spend all day patching. I understand.

Well, let's just go then.

I thought this whole thing was his idea, though.

You're still going to come, right?

I mean, I don't want to impose.

No, no, come on. Okay, I'm going to call him.

Trey's leaving.

People are just upset.

Like, I don't get it. Who cares?

Just, like, grab a handful of underwear, toss it in a bag, jeans, shirts,

whatever. Should take less than 10 minutes.

Sorry.

Sorry. And if you want to dress nice.

Like, who's he even seeing this week?

Sam. What, sorry?

Who's Brad seeing this week?

He's, uh, going to Oakland.

Oh. Oakley, anyway. He's meeting people from some startup.

See? They'll probably all be wearing cut -off jeans and shirts and hope for the

day picking out a tie. It's crazy.

Totally. Like, no one cares how you dress anymore, unless you're an eye

and then... And then you have other problems. Thank you.

Uh, it's just like, why?

Why would you rather be in a closet than with your friends?

I guess it's tough.

You dress for the Bay Area.

I just think it's crazy.

Love away, Dixieland Love away, Dixieland

I'm not gonna go.

Why not? What difference does it make?

Brad is not gonna be there. It's gonna be weird.

Yeah, we'll all still be there.

I'm not going.

It's in his apartment.

Yeah, with his boyfriend who lived there.

So what, you're just not gonna watch?

Whatever, I'll just download it later.

What if we watch it here?

You can still go.

Yeah, Paul will bail if you do.

I don't want to go over there alone.

I'll call you back.

Ah, fuck Ryan, man, I don't care.

I don't care, man.

So you're cool if we watch here?

I don't know.

Why don't we go see a movie?

We always watch on Sunday.

I know, but, like, it'll be online in an hour.

Right after it plays.

We can go see a movie, and we can watch it later.

All right, well, Xander, we'd watch here.

I know, I just don't see why it matters.

I'll get back.

Whatever, man. Cry.

Okay, I'll text Vonda to tell her it's a wolf.

I was having a fucking crazy dream.

Hey.

Did I catch you at a bad time?

Oh, okay.

Do you need to call me back from a payphone?

Oh, okay.

I was just going to, um, let you know I think we're gonna watch here tomorrow.

Yeah, I know. I know.

Well, we just figured it sends us two of us here, it makes more sense for

everyone to come here.

Yeah.

Hope you can still come.

Okay.

Like I know how to skate, just not proper, you know.

Never learned how to stop.

What's a proper skater?

People who know how to stop. Oh, you don't know how to act? You don't know

to stop?

Like, I know how to stop. I just... I've never really achieved the stop. Like

the... Yeah.

Hey.

Hey.

I brought wine. Amazing.

Thank you.

I, uh, don't really know anything about wine, but that one was in the vintages

section. Hmm, sure is great.

Uh, grab a seat in Iowa Forest Town.

You're a vegetarian, right?

No. Why?

Why are you a vegetarian?

Uh, what'd you do with Paul?

I gave him $5 and told him to come back in the morning.

Really? No, not really.

He counted in his room.

Really?

No, not really. I don't know where he is.

I've never seen your place this clean.

Or empty.

I guess it looks a lot bigger when there's not 20 people in it.

And you're sober.

Sort of sober.

No, totally. Me too.

Do you like the wine?

It's good.

But honestly, I don't know anything either.

So, you're saying I could've got a $10 bottle?

$5. Max.

Damn it.

Not totally done in or so.

Why don't you come supervise, but also look up pizza plates on your phone for

when this all goes horribly wrong.

Ah, well, no worries.

I know all the best pizza plates.

Best in the city?

A motto.

Get out of here with that.

No, where then?

Tiki, obviously.

Thanks again for cooking.

Trying to cook.

I hate picking restaurants.

Anyway. What? You stress over picking restaurants?

I just be thinking whether you like dinner or not the whole time.

So you're not worried about your own cooking?

Sure, but you seem nice enough to pretend no matter how it turns out.

Oh, yeah?

Mm -hmm.

So, are you gonna cook or... They have this, like...

100 -foot water slide in my summer camp. Oh, really?

Yeah, I was, like, going down it, and I remember it was, like, so intense, and I

remember that I went down it, and then I was swimming back to the dock to, like,

where my friends were.

And I was like, oh, it's so fun.

Everyone was, like, looking at me like, oh, my God, what's going on?

I, like, pushed myself up onto the dock, and my nose was just, like, because,

like, the slide was, like, so fast, and my nose was just, like, bleeding, like,

all over my face.

Oh, really?

Yeah. I was like, yeah, I was swimming up and I was like, oh my god, what's

going on?

Or you just had no idea. Yeah.

No, I didn't feel like that. I was just like wet and I was swimming or whatever

because I didn't notice. And then I was just like covered in blood and they were

all like, oh my god.

So how is the fashioning of things going?

Good. It's been my last year trying it all done, you know?

You've made it this far. Everyone just wants to see you make it out properly.

Yeah. We're doing like an end of the year show.

whatever show, yeah, in like a month or two, so that should be good.

What are you showing?

I made a small photozine about fashion in Finland.

Finland has fashion.

It does, yeah, it's cool. It's kind of its own little thing.

Not European, but not totally Nordic.

Interesting.

So what is it all about?

I have the original Lido, but I'm just getting a bunch printed, and then I have

to pick colors.

Shouldn't it be blue and white like their flag?

Yeah, maybe.

I'd like to see it.

It's in my studio at school, but I can bring it home for you to see. Yeah.

So, do you have any wisdom to share with someone graduating school?

It's not good.

I'm impressionable.

All right.

I would say...

Remember that traveling doesn't make you interesting.

What do you mean?

Okay, so like, a lot of people think that if you travel, then you're

automatically interesting.

You aren't.

So you think people shouldn't travel?

No, for sure, travel. Everyone should.

What I mean is, like, a lot of people think, you know, went to Thailand,

at photos on the beach, look at me, now I'm interesting.

I don't really understand what you mean.

Sorry, I'm not explaining myself well. Um, no, it's like, I mean, care about

real things.

Do real things.

Traveling is cool, but not like, it just disappears.

And if that's all you care about, then you're just a person with nothing to

about. So, just care about things.

Sure, I just think that there are a lot of things that should happen on the

margins of your life that wind up being what people lean on.

Okay.

It's like pictures on a phone aren't interesting.

I just think, like, if you remember that, then you're going to be happy.

Because you're happy.

Exactly.

Hello? I think I know who this is.

Dad?

Um...

I mean my computer is open, but I guess I'm working.

Doing what?

Yeah.

When?

Do you want to come back to mine?

Is that, like, some coffee or something?

It's just so cold.

What do you want?

Nothing.

Oh.

Need a hot shower.

Thank you again for today.

So your work won't care?

No, I'll be fine.

Good.

I feel like I haven't, uh, been right around lately.

Yeah.

Doing okay?

Good.

How's the living here going?

Nice.

But I never really thought I'd live in a building like this.

Don't like it?

Not really.

Are you seeing anyone right now?

I don't know.

Not really.

No?

I dated someone for a long time.

I haven't felt like getting back into something like that.

Hmm.

Not very easy.

No. Not really.

Sometimes I think people just date someone so they don't have to get

Rejected how?

I don't know. Just...

Being in a relationship doesn't stop you from meeting people.

You just know you don't have to go home to an empty bed.

Yeah, that's true, I guess.

I don't know. Maybe it's just me.

No, I get it.

Well, why?

What'd I do? Look,

it's already red.

I didn't do that.

So, uh, where was the party that you went to then?

It wasn't really that party, it was like... We went to, um, the party

for years.

Oh, okay, cool.

I told you about that. Yeah, I remember.

It was a really fun time.

It's not like anyway.

I really want to try that stuff.

Hey. Hey.

What's up?

Just at the mall.

Weren't Brad.

He's around.

To high shopping.

You know where we are?

Yeah, pretty much.

I don't recognize anything.

Yeah, but the trail slopes this way.

It means we're heading towards the lake.

I've never noticed that before.

I'm sure you have.

I just never thought about it.

You ready?

Could have gone to my place.

We could have.

Or we could have gone out.

Could have.

What do you want to do?

Doesn't matter.

Okay, well, I don't really want to just sit around here.

You want to go? Go see a movie?

I don't really like movies.

Don't go smoke?

Who are the guys out there?

Paul's friends from work.

Okay, we can hang out with them.

Nah.

Okay.

You missed Paul on Thursday.

Yeah, I had to write a paper.

Let's walk down to T .G. and get a slice.

Are you alright?

Where are you?

I'm gonna go out for a bit.

Yeah. I'm gonna go meet a few people from work.

Yeah, no worries.

We

need

to have rules.

Like what?

Like we can't do anything at each other's apartments.

Sounds good.

Um, and we can't do anything stupid.

Like this?

This is just old -fashioned.

Hey.

I know.

Do you have any rules?

No. I mean, I don't know.

What do people do that you hate?

Drunk dialing.

Okay.

Deal.

Nothing else?

No.

No, no, no, no, no, not here.

Sam,

Sam, there's someone there.

Sam, Sam, he's watching, he's watching.

Who?

Don't worry.

In fact, that was very good.

Goddamn steering wheel.

You okay?

Ready to go?

Take me home, aren't you?

I don't need to go home. Let's just drive for a bit.

Relax. We're on our way.

Okay, though?

Fine.

If you're going to take me home, just let me out here.

Yep.

Yeah. What are you doing on Monday night?

About to go to Thumbtanner.

Brad's gotta go to Montreal for the night.

I'm gonna get us a hotel.

Okay.

Hey. Oh.

You doing okay?

Yeah, good.

Goodbye.

Let me help you with this.

What are you doing?

Gotta go to that dinner.

You're actually going?

Said I would.

What am I supposed to do?

I don't know. I told you I had a dinner.

Yeah, I didn't think you'd actually go.

Well, I have to.

Alright.

You're not gonna shower?

You stink.

Whatever.

I'll come back.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Stopped knowing.

Yeah?

Must have been a game tonight.

I shouldn't have gone.

Okay. Just dumb.

What'd you do?

Went to the train station, walked around.

Yeah.

You can wash your hair so much.

I'm just saying, it's not good for your hair to wash it so often.

Yeah.

Fuck.

Fuck! Got my overnight bag.

Use my stuff.

Nah.

Put it on in the concierge then. I'm not a little kid or whatever.

Yeah?

I'm gonna play it like this for sure.

Are you awake?

Yeah.

Are you hungry?

Would it be possible for you to bring up a couple bowl of ice cream?

Flavor? Vanilla.

A strawberry and a vanilla.

Thanks.

You or me.

And unless you do it now, it'll be you.

You have to work today, do you?

No. Don't let me be on late.

Check out set 11.

So is this kind of like a trial run before I invite a real couple over?

Except you guys are the first.

You think they were the first?

Me?

That makes you guys happy.

Dinner's almost ready.

You know when you asked me to come and you said dinner?

I meant like a bunch of people for dinner.

Like who?

Good.

Yeah, perfect. Well, a toast then to the first dinner club.

What have you guys been up to lately?

Nothing.

Nothing? No, actually, nothing. Like I go to work or go to the gym and I come

home. Winter.

What about you, Roy?

Not much either. Working a lot.

Is that right?

Yeah, lots of work.

Anything good going on?

Same shit. How'd he go to town recently?

Yeah. What?

London.

How was it?

Wet.

What about you, V?

Uh, he and I are supposed to be going to South America at the end of the month.

Where in South America?

Um, Belize for sure, and then maybe like Paraguay?

I don't know for sure.

What's in Belize?

Sure this is fine?

Yeah, my parents in Florida.

Want a drink?

No, I'm good.

I know.

Funny.

Here, come on.

Do you have a room here?

Yeah. comes in handy.

So is this where you grew up?

No, nearby.

They moved here after I went to school.

Hey, what's going on?

Nothing, just laying on my couch.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, Darcy's making me a grilled cheese.

Nice, hungover?

Not really.

Good, that's good.

Yeah.

So, what are you doing tonight?

I'm supposed to go to a concert with my friends Owen and Susie.

Oh, cool.

Yeah, sure, that'll be fun.

Yeah, hopefully.

I was actually just calling to see if you wanted to go out tonight, but, um,

don't worry about it.

I mean, honestly, Ryan, do you even want to?

Yeah. Like, it's fine.

I don't know what's going on, but, like, it's cool.

Don't feel like you need to call and ask.

I want to.

I'm sorry.

I just... You never called.

Or texted.

It's fine.

Oh, okay, okay. Let me make it up to you.

No.

Not today.

Or tomorrow. Just, like, let it be for a while.

Call me again after you've thought about it.

Okay, I will.

Darcy's here with the food, though, so... Yeah.

Get that craziness out of here.

You've gone to see a nude show with business associates.

The next day, your spouse asks how you spent the evening. Do you tell the

Where are you at a nude show with business associates?

Uh, networking? I don't know.

Addendum to that. Yeah.

What? You break your legs, right?

And it's your favorite sister.

Uh, geez.

You could go anywhere. Where would you go?

I've always wanted to go to Japan.

Yeah.

I think I'd really jive with the culture.

Sorry guys, give me a minute.

There's beer in the fridge.

Where do you guys want to go?

Doesn't matter.

What?

What, sorry?

I said I don't care.

I just don't want Chinese.

I had it yesterday.

What about that new verbal place on DuPont?

Blockable.

What are you up to?

Just leaving a friend's place.

I'll zip behind.

Oh, really?

Uh -huh.

I don't recall saying you could finish.

It's sexy.

I need to go home.

Get dressed.

Bye.

Paul. Ryan.

What's up?

Gonna play squash with Kent.

Where at?

Just at the AC.

I think this guy could go last night.

Uh, he, uh, threw up.

Things really got better from there.

Jesus. Yeah. Failed for a bit, but had to get the fuck out of there. Yeah, no

kidding.

What happened with you last night?

Um, nothing really.

No? That girl from work came over.

Hmm. How was that?

Pretty standard.

Good to hear. Good to hear.

Well, gotta go. All right. See you there. Yeah.

Hello? Sorry. I had to wait for Brad to go out.

Paul came home last night.

When?

I don't know.

He was here when you left.

So?

So he knows.

Knows what?

About us.

Did she say something?

No. But how could he not know?

What did you tell him?

Some girl from work came over.

I had to tell him something. What if he tells Brad?

Why would he?

We're supposed to be friends.

You won't tell him.

It's gonna be fine.

Can't do this anymore.

What?

Any of it.

I agree last night was stupid, but... Aren't you worried?

He won't say anything.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

What?

Why aren't you freaking out?

Jesus, if he tells Vaughn it's over...

People are gonna get hurt behind this.

Like you.

Yeah, or like fucking Brad.

Meet me at the cafe.

Should we be seen together?

Would you relax?

When can you meet?

Hey. Hey.

Do you want anything?

No, I'm fine.

You alright?

Come on, you know what I mean.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine, beyond the obvious.

Have you spoken to Paul?

No, he didn't come back this afternoon.

So, you don't know anything for sure.

I am.

What?

He might not have noted.

Your fucking clothes are all over the living room.

Yeah.

Thanks.

So he obviously noticed.

He might not have.

He did.

Okay.

So?

What are we gonna do?

What can we do?

I can't see you anymore.

Relax, really.

Everything's gonna be fine.

No one's gonna care.

It's not fine.

I know.

It's not right now, but it will be.

No.

Really, Rai? Just...

Give it a few days.

You're just freaking yourself out.

Come on.

Tomorrow, it won't seem so bad.

Never should have done this.

What's wrong with Mr. R?

Wrong. It's what Paul tells people.

What?

That you're gay?

Don't. Please.

Don't pull this shit.

I'm not fucking gay.

What was it then?

A mistake.

I fucked up.

This is like... Really pathetic.

Just don't call me anymore, okay?

It didn't happen.

Is that what you're gonna do? It didn't happen.

I know you have feelings for me.

I don't.

I know you do.

Come on, Rai.

Don't do this.

I promise.

Things will be fine.

I'm gonna go.

Meeting was a bad idea.

Right, month, date.

Please.

Forgot my number.

Deleted.

How's a guy going to go around loving the kind of neighbors we've got? Old

Sourpuss, for instance.

You see, Sourpuss Smith is a guy who lives all alone next door to us.

He's a cranky old man and runs a second -hand furniture store. We haven't spoken

to him for years.

Canada.

Me too.

Cool.

Toronto? Yeah, you?

Yeah.

We should meet up sometime.

Yeah, totally.

You've been busy lately.

Yeah.

Doing what?

Go around the thigh.

but I fucking leave him alone.

What? Can you not come on to me in my backyard?

Sorry. You need to go, Stan.

I'm gonna end it with Brad.

If that's what you want, we aren't gonna date.

Not right away.

Not ever.

Brad will get over it.

It wasn't a party after the game last week.

So? So.

Paul probably told everyone.

Fuck them.

We can make this work.

I don't date men.

Right. This is a mistake.

It could be the start of something really great. It won't be.

Just give it a little time.

I may have thought what was going on was some emotional thing, but it wasn't.

Not for me.

I don't have your problem.

You don't.

I was bored.

I was bored and you were there.

You're such a coward.

Listen. Sam!

Sam! Don't tell Brad!

Hey.

What are you doing tonight?

I didn't know you dressed up so much for work.

Well, I don't usually, but I'm trying this new thing where I don't dress like

I'm homeless.

How's it going?

Fine. I just started.

I used to dress like a grown -up. I don't know what happened.

Where's Tiff?

Oh, no, girl.

She's dating this married guy.

Really? Yeah. They do weird things. Like, they go out every night, but,

to play pool because they think they won't get caught.

They come back here all the time?

No, I don't know where they say. She's like never here.

Weird.

Keep talking. I'm just going to get changed.

Okay.

Switch the luggage.

I'm going to believe you in a couple days. Didn't I tell you?

No. Who with?

Just did.

That'll be fun.

Yeah, you wanna come?

Think I'll pass.

You're lost?

For sure.

Actually, do you mind if I pass?

Can I ask you a random question?

Yeah.

You want to ask back?

Like right now?

Sure.

Okay.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You could have asked earlier. I'm tired now.

Sorry, I think you said no.

What the fuck was that?

This is it.

She does that when she wants me to get up.

What?

Just ignore her.

You fucked Vanda, eh?

Yeah. That's pretty fucked up.

Why?

You know she liked you.

Yeah, maybe.

You know, just because you're fucked up doesn't mean you're messing with her.

to the house unless I know where she's going.

If for any reason I can't be found, she's to be detained no matter on what

pretext. Understand, sir?

Yeah.

I need you to come meet me.

I can't.

Come to the beach.

I can't.

I just really need your help, okay?

I can't.

Yeah.
