Oh.

Hey, Mom.

What's up?

Oh, good. You haven't left yet.

Darling, is Lisa a vegetarian, or is she doing what they do now, gluten

-free? Does she have any unusual diet requirements?

No, no, no, Mom.

She's very easy.

I take her for steak all the time.

Okay, good, because that just occurred to me as I was baking the chicken.

No, Mom. There's nothing high -maintenance about her at all. She's the

I've really never heard you this positive about a girl before.

You know, Mom, she's not like any of the others I've been with.

There's just something about her.

We just fit without even trying.

Plus, she's a good girl.

I'm actually starting to think she's not even going to put out until I propose.

Well, good for her.

Girls are too quick these days to give guys everything they want.

It's the first time I've actually run into it, but this one seems worth the

wait.

Well, honey, I don't want to keep you. I better get back to the chicken and from

wrangling your father from the dining table. He's driving me nuts today.

Yeah, today and every day.

All right, Mom.

We'll see you soon.

All right, bye.

Hey, babe, I'm going to be there in about half an hour. Are you almost

Yeah.

Mom,

you need to pick all this up. I really need to get everything together here and

get everything set on the table. And your stuff's in the way. Come on.

I told you this before. I'm always in the way. Now, who is coming exactly?

Your son, Michael, and his girlfriend.

My son's got a girlfriend?

Yes, he's bringing a girl here. A girl? We want to make a good impression. Yes.

You sure it's my son?

Are you sure it's my son, David? Because I sometimes think he looks a bit like

the milkman to me, but anyway. Okay, don't be ridiculous.

Pick all this stuff up, and we need to make a good impression.

Oh, all right. He rarely brings a girl here. We need, look, go change. Pick

up and go change your clothes.

Anal retentive. All right, I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it for

England. Okay.

I don't have all day.

Nice book, isn't it? Yeah. Would you like some of those caps on the cover of

that? Okay, okay, okay.

Oh my goodness. Are you coming down with a clue or something? No, no, it's just

wine. Okay.

We're not going to throw this by her. It's too good for them, isn't it?

Darling, I have no response to that.

Okay, look, you look great.

Got the tie right? Yeah, you look very good.

You're missing a belt. I don't think anyone will notice. My trousers are not

going to fall down at my age. Okay, good.

Now, you need to behave.

Honestly, you really need to. This is important. My language? You mean I can't

say fuck or anything like that?

You okay?

Just a little nervous, I guess.

Don't be.

It's just dinner. Dinner with your parents.

They're probably more nervous about meeting you.

How are you?

Hi. How nice to meet you. And who is this?

This is Lisa.

Lisa, how nice to meet you.

How nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

It's exciting to have you here. Good to see you. You're very tall. How are you,

sir? It's a dorm.

You know, it's a beautiful dorm.

There's a big dorm coming here.

Of course, the weatherman's always wrong.

Look at you now, and that's the main thing. Maybe it is.

You're so beautiful.

This is a damn good wine. What do you think this wine's done?

I like it about as much as you like football, Dan.

I know, normally they say white wine with chicken, but it's really up to you.

What does it matter? It's all alcohol.

You know,

who knows what's going to happen later tonight.

Well,

let's find out more.

Letha, where did you grow up?

I grew up in Nantucket.

Nantucket. Oh, it's so beautiful there. I just love it.

Do you, my dear? Well, I much prefer Martha's Vineyard.

The coral, Martha's Vineyard.

No, Martha's Vineyard is much nicer because it has this wonderful fudge. Not

fudge pounding, but fudge.

God, it's good. Isn't it, son? Do you like it, too? That's one of the vacation

spots by where you can get the best candy.

I've been to Martha's Vineyard. I love it there. It's beautiful.

You know, they have nude bathing there. You know about that?

They sport themselves on the beach. Have you ever done that?

I've never been to a nude beach. Well, I'm only saying it because she's... Damn

good looking. We're lucky to have her. I don't care for it much because I've

been to these new beaches.

And they're so fat and they have these little ding -ding -dongs.

No, I'm sorry, sir. I'm just trying to make conversation with this delightful

lady.

A beautiful girl like Lisa would be harassed left and right, I'm sure.

Sure, sure.

Anyway, let's just talk about something more personal. Thank you.

Lisa, what do you do?

Michael hasn't filled us in on all the details, so forgive my curiosity.

I'm a publicist for Mary Jacobs, her retail line.

A different agent handles her couture.

Oh, not that frightful chap who got into trouble for tax evasion.

They cleared that up.

No, seriously, that's a very good job for a woman, working for a fashion

designer. Lots of gay men around, and of course, they're not going to hit upon

you, are they?

I don't know. I don't, you know, I don't really keep track of who's gay. You

know, it's kind of private information.

Well, fair enough.

You know, I really understand this about sexual harassment. I mean, if I was a

woman, which thank God I'm not, but if I was a woman, then I wouldn't care for

it at all. Now, you, Nancy, you really do enjoy working among these gays, don't

you?

Oh, please.

Wait, so that must be wonderful.

It must be very glamorous.

She's an excellent writer.

I read her press releases all the time, and they're fantastic.

That's one of my biggest cheerleaders.

Yes, he thinks the world of you.

And what do you think of him? You know, he can be a bit of a bugger at times. I

mean, really. Because he takes off to me. What do you think of him?

Oh, he treats me wonderful.

Make it easy.

Well,

I mean, why don't you all stick around for a while? I mean, I'll entertain you

with a few faulty ukulele songs.

Oh, brother.

What a country.

Have a martini.

Put two olives in.

Don't eat a meanie.

Fill it up to the brim. It's a funny song.

Whether it's vodka.

Come on. Or whether it's gin.

Don't be ashamed of your father.

Have a martini.

I just got the weather report.

The storm's going to last all night.

Wow, is it really that bad?

Everything's flooded.

The roads are closed off because a tree fell.

Well, I guess you'll have to stay here the night, won't you?

You can't impose.

It's not my position at all, sweetheart. We have a guest room and a bath, and

it's very private.

And I can lend you a nightgown.

Don't worry. I'll sleep on the couch.

Thank you. That's very kind of you.

Hey, you doing okay?

All right. You seem a little tense at dinner.

I know my dad's a lot to take.

No, your parents are both amazing people.

You're lucky.

Is it just too much meeting the family?

I just want you to know that I'm serious about you.

I know.

Well, do you not feel the same way about me? Is that what's wrong?

No.

That's not it.

That's not it.

Talk to me, baby. I can tell something's really bothering you.

There's nothing we can't talk about.

I would have been struggling with.

Whether you can talk to me?

Well, I just didn't expect our

relationship to move so fast.

And the more time that we have spent together, it's like,

made it even harder to find a... the right time to

talk to you.

I just keep putting it off because...

Talk to me

about what?

About me.

You can tell me anything, Lisa. I would never judge you.

Love you listen to me

You're the woman I want to be with

What do you like?

Oh, fuck.

Wow.

Thank you.

Good.

Can I help you find something?

Oh, just the file I gave Sarah the other day.

She didn't give it back to me before she went on vacation.

Yeah, she was kind of in a rush to get out of here.

I noticed.

Can you blame her?

Listen, if you need any assistance while she's gone, I don't mind helping out.

Thanks.

That's really sweet of you.

I just want to take you up on it.

Please do.

There it is.

Thank god.

I'm really glad you found what you're looking for.

Hey, taking off, huh?

Uh, yeah.

Going to, unless there's anything that you need.

I meant what I said about helping you out while Sarah's away.

So don't be shy.

Well, hey, I was just about to head out myself. Go grab a drink.

De -stress a little.

Hey, do you want to come with?

Since we're both leaving, if you're not in a rush to get home or anything.

No, actually, I'm in no rush at all.

I would love to.

then I finally got the courage to leave and I finally moved out here.

So why did you choose LA? Did you want to be a model actress or something?

No, not really. I'm not that type of girl. I just want to be somewhere sunny

cheerful.

Growing up in Alaska, I had enough dreary weather to last me a lifetime.

Well, what type are you then if you're not the model actress type?

I don't know.

Bookworm, I guess.

I've always been more concerned with my grades than my looks.

That's very refreshing, actually.

A lot of other girls only care about their look, their image.

They're beautiful, but they don't have nothing to offer besides that.

Maybe that's enough for most people.

A pretty face seems to go a long way out here.

Maybe at first.

But for me...

I need a little more than that to keep me interested.

I guess that's why I was always curious about you.

It seems so different compared to most of the girls I meet out here.

I'm sure you have a lot of women throwing themselves at you all the time.

I mean, look at you. You're this gorgeous, successful guy.

You're like the poster boy for Mr. Right.

Oh, I have plenty of flaws. Trust me. It's hard to find someone, you know, who

wants you for the right reasons.

Yeah.

Sure is.

You know, you're pretty unusual for an L .A. guy yourself.

Most of them look right past me if a fake blonde with big boobs walks into

room.

Been there, done that.

No thanks.

Actually, I heard that you're still doing that.

Hmm?

You know, the blonde Barbie doll thing.

Not that I gossip or anything.

But you know how secretaries talk.

And Sarah told me that you have a very beautiful girlfriend.

And that she's a model.

And she even showed me a picture.

It's complicated.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to raise a bad topic.

Brittany, I don't want to sound like another wannabe player trying to run a

on you.

But I haven't found what I need yet.

That relationship with her is... over.

I'm leaving her.

I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to pry.

No, I'm...

I'm glad it came up in a way.

Actually... I'm kinda glad too.

and take me somewhere.

Okay. Cool.

Ugh.

Oh.

um um

Thank you.

Yeah.

Shh.

oh

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

Okay. No problem.

No, I understand. You have a big case going on.

I expected you to work late this week. No biggie.

Uh -huh. Okay.

Bye.

So when are you going to do it? When are you going to tell him?

Soon.

Soon meaning when?

Soon meaning soon.

What do you need an exact date and time?

That'd be nice, yeah.

Soon.

I don't like knowing that you're sleeping next to him after I make love

That's all we're doing.

Sleeping.

We haven't had sex in months.

We're like roommates.

So then what's the big holdup? Just end the damn thing.

It's complicated.

He lives here.

We have a joint bank account.

It's like a divorce.

Forget divorce.

People do it every day.

You talk too much. You know that?

Why don't you put that meal...

Yeah? Like how?

You're pretty smart.

You can figure it out.

Mm.

Do you want to kiss a little more?

Thank you.

Hmm.

Ah.

Ruby, be...

It's fucking slimy.

Yeah.

How do you feel?

Thank you.

Wow, when you said you were working late, you weren't kidding.

Are you still up?

I thought you'd be asleep all night.

I like to wait until you're still up beside me.

It makes me feel safe.

Are you going to give me a hug?

Yeah, baby.

In just one sec.

I've been waiting long enough.

What's wrong with your shirt?

I'm just taking it off.

Give me a second here. Damn.

What happened to the fucking buttons?

Serena, don't get all crazy now. It's late.

Turn the fuck around.

Happy?

Where the fuck were you?

I'll tell you when you tell me who was in my bed when I was out working my ass

off for you.

Nobody was in this bed but me.

Sitting here, waiting up for you until, what is it now, two in the morning?

Oh yeah?

Well, maybe you could tell me when you started wearing men's cologne.

I can smell that shit as soon as I walked in, and I know it ain't mine.

Fuck you, okay?

You don't give a shit about me.

Fuck you.

Everything I do, I do for you.

Do you know that?

I work my ass off to give you everything you could ever want.

And nothing is ever enough.

What does it take, huh?

What do you want?

You're listening to my baby.

I hate it when we fight.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Hmm.

Mmm.

Yeah baby, it's your turn.

Hmm.

Mm.

Amen.

Thank you.

All right.

So much coffee.

Me too.
