-[Joanne] Martin. -Hey.

Hi. Uh, there is a customer who wants a consultation at the register.

Okay, I'll be there in two seconds.

Also, you know how today is my last day before I go to med school?

-Shit, I didn't realize. -Yeah.

I'm having this thing tonight at Cha-Cha, if you want to come.

Oh, damn. Uh...

I'd love to, but I can't tonight, I've got plans, I'm sorry.

But, thank you for everything. You've been awesome.

Yeah. No, it's fine.

It's been great working for you.

-You're going to kill it. -Thank you.

[lighter clicks]

[swishing]

[Gabi] Mm.

[groans]

[moaning]

[Gabi] Two. Very good.

[patient] A little better. [inhales]

It hurts so much? [patient exhales]

You're doing so good.

[patient sighs]

Okay, you don't need me anymore.

-Just go and have fun. -Yeah, okay.

[Oren and customer speaking Spanish]

[Martin] What's up?

[Oren] Uh, well, she's... She doesn't have her insurance,

so I don't know what to do.

-Uh, is it for you? Is it... -[customer #1] No, it's for my mom.

She's really sick, and it's very expensive.

I really need it.

Hey, um, hey, I'll cover it,

and then she can pay next time or something.

-[Oren] You sure? -Mm-hm. Yeah. Have a good day.

-Thank you. -[Oren] Yeah, thank you.

[Martin] I just get on my phone,

and I just start swiping, and it was just...

[Oren] I like black girls, I like Persian girls,

I like white girls, I like Asian.

Well, I've never ventured to the Asian world as you have,

-and sometimes... -[Martin] Hey, we got a racist over here.

[Oren] I'm not racist, man.

[laughing] [Martin] Yeah, you are.

[Oren] I mean, you have your own thing too, man.

-You love Asian girls, you know... -Why...

[Oren] Bethany was clearly Japanese, you wouldn't shut up about it.

Yes, she was clearly Japanese, but I married her 'cause I loved her,

not because I was like, "Oh, I need a Japanese."

[Oren] Yeah, how many times did he say, "Bethany Takara,

Bethany Takara, Takara, Takara," the whole time?

You like their name, you say it, man.

But she was Japanese. And that's what we're talking about.

-[Martin] She's half-Japanese, yeah. -[Oren] Yeah.

-[Paul] So, that's his wife, man. Come on. -Also, my ex-wife now. But yeah...

[Oren] Ex-wife, so it shouldn't matter, because it's fine.

Well, yeah, but we don't have to talk about her like that, I don't know.

Well, let's not talk about it.

[Oren] And you're a lucky man for having an Asian girl.

-That's how it is. -Thank you.

I'll go to the bathroom, need anything?

[Paul & Oren] I'm good.

-[Martin] All right. -[Oren] You?

[Paul] Why did you bring up Bethany?

[Oren] Because I've been talking about fucking Persians

and blacks and Latinas and fucking Asians fit in that...

[Blake] So, does he have a job?

Does he work? Does he make money?

He says he's an Instagram model.

[Blake] An Instagram model?

Let's just let that hang there for a second.

-[Blake] What's that? -[Claire] Instagram model's not a job.

Show me his photos.

[Blake] Oh, my god, crazy abs.

[Claire] You have an appetite, you know that?

[Gabi] You have an appetite, too, darling.

[chuckles]

[Claire] I'm not dating as many people as you are.

I'm not dating as many people,

I'm just trying to find someone who can make me cum.

[giggles]

[Claire] I mean, we knew you would like it.

[Blake] I mean, this is a girl's night.

-Crazy Abs is texting. -[Roland] Girls?

-Girl night? How are you guys doing? -[Claire] Hi, how are you?

-Is everything okay? -[Gabi] Dinner was so fun. Don't worry.

[giggles]

[Roland] I try to make sure it's always good for you guys, though.

-You sure you don't need anything else? -[Blake] Everything's so good.

-[Claire] Bye, I love you. Be safe. -[Gabi] Bye.

[woman #2] My best friend had met her boyfriend at the time on the app,

and suggested I try it, just kind of for fun, basically.

[Martin chuckles] And I didn't even realize this,

but when I moved in the building,

my best friend at the time was sleeping with a guy on the fifth floor.

-So, she would literally go out, -[Martin] This is... I need to know...

then come to my apartment, and I would flap her hair,

then she would go sleep with him, and come back.

-[Martin] No. -And then sleep in the same...

Yeah, they tell me all about it. And so, you're not a doctor?

-No. Pharm... -[woman #2] You're a PharmD.

-Yeah. -So, what's the difference?

Well, a doctor, you know, is a doctor. [chuckles]

-A pharmacist is... -Oh, right. Right. Right.

[Crazy Abs] Oh, shit. Oh, shit. [both moaning]

[Gabi] Oh, god. Slow down.

Slow down.

[both moaning]

Slowly. Slowly.

-[Crazy Abs] Oh, shit. Fuck. -Slowly.

Slowly. [Crazy Abs moaning]

[both panting]

[both groaning]

[Crazy Abs panting]

[both panting]

-[Crazy Abs] What? -Do you want to go down on me, now?

[Crazy Abs] I, uh, I mean, we kind of just met.

Hey, let me shower real quick. All right. [grunts]

[panting]

[moans]

[smooches]

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah. I think I...

I... I took too many...

Took too many what?

Klonopin.

Yeah? How many did you take?

What? I don't remember.

I'm going to... Let me get you a glass of water.

-Okay? -Uh, no, I'm good.

-I'll be two seconds right there. -Hey, hey...

-Okay, I'll be right back. -Okay.

-Hey. -Hi.

Hey, sorry.

-How's it going? -Good.

Yeah?

-Um, I got a shot of Jameson. -Oh.

-Okay? -Perfect. Yeah.

Would it be better if... [glasses clink]

uh, we can go to my place, or...

[Gabi] Oh, yeah. But...

-[Martin] Yeah? -[Gabi] Do you want to have a beer before?

[Martin] Yeah. Yeah, yeah, of course. Modelo?

-[Gabi] Yeah. -[Martin] Is that good?

Can we, um, can we get two Modelos?

-[bartender #1] Yeah, sure. -[Martin] Thank you.

How long you, uh, how long have you been on Winx?

A while. I don't know, yeah. Yeah.

How long have you been on it?

-Like six months. -Hm.

I go through phases, though. Like, sometimes, I use it.

And then other times, I just...

-I don't know if I'm a big fan, you know? -Really? Why?

I mean, to be honest, I feel like...

Eighty percent of the time, I feel like a dildo attached to a warm body.

[Gabi laughs]

I do! That's the honest truth, people look at me, and I'm like...

[Gabi giggling] That's it.

You're from... You're from Spain, originally?

-Yeah. -Whereabouts?

From Barcelona. I came here for school.

-Oh, yeah? -And then I liked it, and then I stayed.

Yeah, nine years, I've been here.

Where were you... What were you studying, then?

I did history, and then I did two bachelor degrees,

but not, just partial, like...

-um, psychology. -Right.

And then, evolutionary biology.

Wow. [Gabi giggles]

-[Gabi] Yeah, they're very different. -It's a lot... Uh...

[Gabi] Yeah, it's a lot.

Tell me something evolutionarily...

biological. [Gabi chuckles]

[Martin] The most fascinating biological fact.

Well, one that maybe you know,

-Mm-hm. -is that, you know that, um...

the tip of the human penis, it's shaped like...

-Like a mushroom, more or less. -[Martin] Yeah?

Some penises are shaped like that. [both chuckling]

-Most, I think. Yeah. -Most? Yeah.

[both chuckling]

So, that's just literally,

because then, the penis can scoop out...

another man's sperms from inside the vagina.

-What? -Yeah, like they go there,

-and they do like... -No.

"This is my thing, this is my place, just fuck off!"

[both laughing]

It's like a weird pooper-scooper for...

-for jizz. -Yeah!

[Martin gasps] Wow.

[Martin] And then, what else?

You studied all three of those? You still in school? No?

No, no, I'm working now.

-Where are you working? -I'm a physical therapy assistant.

Okay, cool.

Maybe this is the problem, I don't know, but I really like, like, new things.

-You know? Constant newness. -Right.

When there's something new, I'm really into it,

-[Gabi] I go for it. -Yeah.

And then, after a while, I ditch it, like, I don't like it anymore,

I get bored, whatever, so...

I just feel like, "Okay, whatever," you know?

[Martin] Yeah. Yeah, I get that.

It's hard for me to really know what I want to do.

[Martin] You just got to start doing something, right?

I mean, at some point, I had to leave school and press play,

and real life.

-I had to... -[Gabi] You have pressed play?

I haven't pressed play, I kinda, I just...

I unplugged the console, threw it out the window,

and just stopped playing, because I was like, "This game is rigged."

[chuckles]

-[Martin] You want another beer here or... -Yeah.

-[Martin] Yeah? -Mm-hm.

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music continues]

-The other way? -The other way.

-[Gabi] Oh, red, red. Wait. -[Martin] No, it's red. See?

That one.

-[machine] Go ahead. -Wait.

-[machine] Click an image to select. -[Martin] Which one?

-[Gabi] Hey, I love that. -[Martin] All those ones? Oh, yeah.

[bartender #2] All right, last call!

[Gabi] Oh, my god! [laughing]

[Martin] Come on, let's get out of here. Let's go.

How did you get here? You used Uber or you what?

-[Gabi] No, I biked. -[Martin] You biked?

-[Gabi] No, I hitchhiked. -You hitchhiked here?

-No, I... Yeah, I came like this. -[Martin] Okay, okay.

You walked like that the whole way here?

[Gabi] Yeah.

[Martin] I believe it. Okay, let's go. [Gabi giggling]

Come on.

[Martin laughs]

I was on another date earlier tonight.

Uh...

I thought you should know.

-Oh, did you guys... -[Gabi] Yeah.

We were safe, but, you know, it's like a...

-Yeah. -date.

I mean, I was with...

I was on a date, too, but we didn't hook up, you know.

It kind of went south before that.

Okay.

Um...

-Well, maybe I should go, and then... -Are you hungry?

-Yeah. -Do you like ramen?

There's a place around the corner, it's open, and it's kind of...

-It's like... -[Gabi] Yeah, but is this weird?

-Why? Because of the other guy? -Yeah.

-No. No. -[Gabi] It's okay?

-Are you sure? -It's not weird.

Yeah, I got my mushroom penis for you.

Okay.

[chuckles]

[tranquil music]

[Martin] So your dad is American?

[Gabi] No, my mom.

-My mom is American, but... -[Martin] Yeah.

They met in Spain, and then, they fell in love,

and then my mom moved there,

and then blah, blah, blah, boom, I'm born.

[Martin chuckles]

"Blah, blah, blah, blah, boom"? That's like this...

-That's the Spanish for baby-making? -[Gabi] Yeah.

-[Martin] You wanna have kids? -[Gabi] Yeah, I wanna have kids.

-Yeah? -[Gabi] Yeah.

But I don't want to get married.

-No? I mean, not that... -Who gets married?

-[Martin] I did, I got married. -You? You were married?

Yeah, briefly, yeah.

[Gabi] How was it?

-I don't know, brief. -It was brief?

[Martin laughs]

[Gabi] My sister just got married now.

-[Martin] Oh, she did? -[Gabi] Yeah.

In Spain. She's so in love.

-[Martin] Did you go? -[Gabi] Yeah.

But it was kind of sad, you know,

because it reminds me how much I miss them.

-What about you? -[Gabi] What about me, what?

Have you ever been in love?

[Gabi sighs]

Yeah, I think so.

I mean, when people say they are in love,

it's because they think they are in love, right?

-Mm-hm. -[Gabi] So...

Yeah.

Yeah.

[Martin panting]

[car horns honking in distance]

-[Martin] Do you pee in sinks? -[Gabi] No.

-You don't pee in sinks? -You pee in sinks?

Oh, yeah, I pee in sinks.

That's because you pee everywhere like dogs.

[Martin laughs]

[chuckles]

[giggling]

[Gabi] You let go.

[Martin] Hey, do you like soft scrambled?

Mm.

I don't like the texture.

Fried eggs?

[Martin] If I make some, will you try it? [Gabi chuckles]

Mm.

[sizzles]

[Martin] All right, how about I do some scrambled.

-Okay. -And then I'll do you a fried egg as well.

[Martin] And then, if you don't like the scrambled,

-Okay. -you got that too, right?

-Okay. -Okay?

[Gabi] Okay.

[grunts]

-Go on toast. -What?

-Go on toast. -Go on toast?

-Yeah. -It's on, it's working.

[toaster clicking]

[both laughing]

-What? -What?

-What? -I'm ticklish.

Okay. No, really, I am.

[both laughing]

-[Gabi] What? -I'm really ticklish.

[Martin] All right. Okay.

Good smile?

-It's good. -[Martin] Yeah?

-Mm-hm. -[Martin] Do you like it?

Mm-hm.

-Let's see. -[Gabi] Mm.

It's all in details, little things got them right.

-Mm. -What are you doing today?

[Gabi] Nothing.

Well...

[Gabi] What are you doing today?

[Martin] Same.

-[Gabi] Nothing? -[Martin] Mm-hm.

-[Gabi] Mm-hm? -[Martin] Do you want to hang out?

[Gabi humming]

[Martin] No, no, no. Oh, they are kind of cool.

-You know what? -What?

I'm going to give you...

I'm going to make you pick any one of these, any one in this room,

you can take it home.

-Which one? -Yeah.

-In the whole room? -Any one.

That one.

[Gabi] One of the three art options you will see

-between these two, okay? -Uh-huh.

-You have to choose one. -Yes.

Okay, you can now.

-[Martin] Now? -Yeah.

[both laughing]

[tranquil music]

[tranquil music continues]

-Hi, so this is my boyfriend, Martin. -Hey, hey.

-Blake. Hi. -Hi. How's it going?

-It's Blake. -Yeah.

Fuck, don't stop. Don't stop.

[moans]

[pants]

Damn it.

[Martin] Here you go.

Do you want to move in with me? [pants]

-[Gabi] Yeah. -[Martin] Yeah?

[Gabi] Yeah. [smooches]

-[Gabi] I've got to go. -Yeah.

[tranquil music]

[zips]

Done.

I still cannot believe you're doing this.

-[Gabi] It's just a soft move. -[Claire] Mm-hm.

-Bye, I love you. -Bye.

[tranquil music]

[tranquil music continues]

-[Martin] You've got everything? -[Gabi] Yeah.

[Martin] Oh, my god.

[giggling]

♪ You are mine, you look good ♪

[blissful music]

[blissful music continues]

-Fuck being single. -Yeah.

Fuck it.

-Fuck being single. -Mm-hm.

[both] One, two, three.

-You know this? -Mm-hm.

-It's like our little universe. -Mm.

-Like three stars, freckles. -Yeah.

These sweet little stars of the universe...

-Mm. -one day, will make me cry.

[Gabi] Because now it's like I will always look at them

and I will always remember you.

[Martin] I love you.

[Gabi] I love you.

[shaver whirring]

-[Gabi] Quinn and Paul. -[Martin] Uh-huh.

Okay.

[Gabi] Who's Paul? [Martin chuckles]

-Who's Paul? -[Martin] He's...

-now my ex-best friend. -[Gabi] Why do we have to go?

[laughter]

I... Allegedly, I had danced so much

that the shirt I was wearing actually shrank from the sweat.

I'd never had an ecstasy in my life.

-[Paul] To you. -[Quinn] And her.

-To you, guys. No, to you. -To you, guys.

-No, to you, guys. -[Paul] It's gonna be out here.

[indistinct chatter]

[Paul] Remember that you thought I forgot?

[Martin] Yeah, get in there.

[Paul] No, I'm not talking about our date.

-I'll give you credit. Girl. -Don't do it. Seriously.

Don't do it. Don't, this is... Oh, wow.

[Gabi and Martin giggling]

[Paul] Oh, wow. Oh, wow. [Martin chuckles]

-You got all of it. -[Quinn] Sweet.

-[Paul] Don't kiss my wife on the lips. -[Martin] I know. Sorry.

[all laughing]

-[Paul] See you later. -[Quinn] Bye.

[Quinn] Oh, my god. [Paul chuckles]

[Gabi moaning]

[Gabi] Wait, wait, wait.

Mm. Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

[whispering] I'm sorry.

I mean, I want you to, but...

[Martin] Oh, my god. It's just that I'm so tired.

I'm sorry, I'm just so fucking...

-tired. -Tired?

Okay.

Let's have lots of sex in the morning.

[Martin] Okay?

[alarm ringing]

[ringing continues]

[mobile phone ringing]

[Martin] Oh, my god.

[ringing continues]

[alarm ringing]

All right.

I'm out.

Bye.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[Martin] Hey. [chuckles]

-[Jeannie] Come here. Oh. -[Martin] Oh.

Yeah.

-[Gabi] Should we put more of this? -[Artie] Yeah.

-[Gabi] Like one more? Yeah? -[Artie] That's good. Yeah. Jeannie...

Jeannie likes this.

-[Gabi] Really? -[Artie] She likes the bread,

-because it's got, you see. No. -Like the seed thing?

-[Artie] It's got the seeds in the crust. -Yeah.

[Artie] She's sick.

Jeannie has dementia, and...

other issues. The dementia goes in and out.

It ain't all roses.

[Artie chuckles]

You're so sweet.

-[Artie] No. -[Gabi] Yes.

No, no. I'm kidding.

[Gabi] Hey, Artie, can I use the bathroom?

[Artie] Uh-huh. It's through the TV room.

[Gabi] Thank you. [chuckles]

[retreating footsteps]

[door thuds]

[Gabi chuckles]

[Martin] I think so.

-[Jeannie] I just need one button. -[Gabi] Yeah, I like that.

[Jeannie] One button to turn it all off.

[Artie] It's one button now on that main remote.

-Almonds, grapes? -Well, how come it's still like snow?

-Thank you. What? -[Jeannie] It's still snow.

That's because the cable is not going on, so you have to...

[Martin] You have to switch it to the cable at the top. Okay?

-[Jeannie] Okay. -Martin, do you have a sister?

-[Artie] We would like to say... -Oh, no.

-a little grace. -[Gabi] I saw the picture.

-No. -[Artie] You'd like to join?

-[Artie] Gabi? -Sure.

[Artie] We thank you, God, for this food

we are about to eat, and for the company of friends

and for all of the blessings you bestow upon us every day.

-Thank you, God. -Thank you, Lord God.

-Where's Bethany? -[Artie] Hm?

[Martin] Oh, no, this is Gabi, Mom.

-[Artie] Yeah. -[Martin] Gabriella.

[Artie] Bethany and Martin divorced several years ago.

This is Martin's new girlfriend. She's from Spain.

-Barcelona. -[Martin] Mm-hm.

[Artie] I got your special bread with the seeds in the crust.

[Jeannie] Yeah, I like the seeds in the crust.

[Artie and Jeannie chuckling]

[door clicks open]

[lighter clicks]

[Martin puffs smoke]

[Gabi] How long were you married?

[Martin] Eight months.

Talk about a pleasing...

silent treatment going home, and now you want to dig up this shit?

Your mom has said, "Where is Bethany?" [snickers]

[Gabi] I think I should know something about that.

Well, she made a mistake, okay?

Her brain is deteriorating, she can't...

figure all that stuff out.

-So you got to give her a pass tonight. -Yeah, but that's the other thing.

-You can't start... -I know that. I know that.

Because your dad has talked to me about that today.

You have not said that to me about your mom.

You have not said that you have a sister.

Well, I don't.

Just talk to me.

Do you have a sister?

No, Gabi. I don't have a sister. She's dead.

-She's dead? -Yes, please. Stop.

Sorry.

It's fine, but you keep digging, and now I...

I'm not digging!

Don't say that. I'm asking.

Because I should know because I'm your girlfriend, right?

I mean...

girlfriends know that kind of stuff.

[Gabi] Do you want to talk about it?

-You can talk about it with me. -[Martin] Fine.

I'll talk about it. Okay, look, I...

My sister died in a car accident when she was 16.

Money from the settlement paid for me to go to college.

It completely destroyed my family, and it's never been the same since then.

Is that better?

Yeah, it's better because I know.

But I don't want you to say, "It's better,"

like an asshole.

[Martin] So that's the... Okay, so now,

-Because I'm finding it out. -I talk to you, and I'm the asshole still.

-[Martin] Okay, I tried to tell you -I mean, Martin, you are talking

-something that's personal to me, -to me about that because I found out.

and then you call me an asshole? Yeah, great. Okay, perfect. Yeah, thanks.

[Gabi] I'm just saying that I'm...

right now, talking about that with you

because I'm finding out, not because you're talking to me about it.

-Oh, see? But you told me and you keep -I just want you to talk to me

-digging about it. I wanna be with you. -about everything. I'm not digging.

I want all of this with you.

But I don't fucking need to talk about everything from my past, okay?

But I'm here for that, too.

I'm not here just for fun.

-And for now, and for fighting. -[Martin] I know you're not here for fun.

I want to know everything about you.

I want to know that your mom is sick.

And I want to know that you had a sister that is dead.

And I want to know you had an ex-wife

that is so important in your fucking family.

I want to know everything about this

-because I think I should know. -Gabi, please!

-You're not talking to me about that. -Fuck! I'm trying to talk to you

-You're not talking to me about that! -but then, when I talk to you,

-it's not fucking good enough for you! -Just talk to me about that!

-What the fuck! -Everything I do is not good enough.

Gabi, I don't want to fucking talk about it. Look...

-there's just... because they're shit... -Why not? Why not?

-you don't wanna talk about. -I wanna talk about everything with you!

Let's talk about the shit you don't wanna talk about.

Let's talk about all the guys you fucked the night we met.

[Gabi sobbing]

Fucking asshole.

[Gabi] You're a fucking asshole.

[Gabi crying]

[Gabi whimpering]

[door closes]

[phone chimes]

[Paul] The very definition of humanity is changing as we know it

and that has only happened like three times ever.

-[Martin] Right. -[Paul] First,

there is our gradual transition

-from hunter-gatherer to agriculturer. -[Martin] Yeah.

[Paul] Then, this part is going to blow your mind.

There is the flushable toilet, which...

-I already fucked it up. Sorry, dude. -[Martin] No, it's okay.

Ignore my penmanship. And that is my favorite part.

"And that is what's robbing us

of our understanding of what it means to be human.

It is literally destroying our emotional spectrum.

There's only like or shame, pleasure or pain.

All extremes, no gray, which is funny,

because it was our grayness that made us human all along."

What do you think?

It's good. I like the, uh...

"emotional spectrum."

And then, that being...

The "grayness." That's cool.

As long as it doesn't get cheesy at the end.

[Martin] Like, you know, in the wrong hands,

it could get a little...

I don't know.

-How's Quinn? -[Paul] She's good.

-Yeah? -[Paul] She's great.

-I can't believe it, man. -What?

-[Paul] Ten years. That's fucking crazy. -Ten years!

[Paul] I know, next Tuesday.

Jeez.

How's Gabi?

[Martin] She's good.

-She's good. -Good?

Do you love her?

I think so.

[Martin] I think I love her, yeah.

[Gabi] It's strong enough.

Because you're so strong, maybe we have to do something...

-Hey. -[Roland] Oh, hey.

[Gabi] How are you?

I'm good. Uh...

I have a consultation appointment with Tim.

[Gabi] With Tim?

-You're not Tim. -[Gabi] Oh, no, no. He's going to be here.

-Hi, I'm hiding myself. -Yeah, I'll walk over here.

-I know you, right? -He's going to be here in a minute. What?

-Wait. -Oh, yeah!

-You're from Covell? -Yeah.

-Yeah, yeah. -You're there every night.

You meet there with your girlfriends. Yeah, well, I manage the place.

-Oh, really? -Of course, I'm there every day.

Oh, my god. I love that place.

-Yeah, sorry. -Tim is coming in a minute.

-If you wanna sit down and... Yeah? -Okay, I'll wait.

-Yeah. -Sure.

[Gabi] Okay, let's move your leg now.

Fuck, yes, out like a light.

-[Martin] Yeah? -[Paul] Yup.

You're still not on Facebook?

I'm still not on Facebook.

I think Bethany might have blocked me.

Maybe she's not on Facebook.

She was.

[Paul] Maybe she's off.

You can, like, delete an account, right?

Yeah, but...

She probably deleted it.

I'm thinking, you can't, like, delete it for good,

it's still there somewhere, I don't know.

That's what creeps me out about the Internet.

It's like everything is always still there.

Has Quinn seen her?

No.

Last I heard, she moved to Santa Monica

to like do music licensing or something?

Fuck.

I can sit here all day.

[laughs]

-[Gabi] Hey. -[Roland] Hi, Gabi.

[Gabi] Hi, how was that?

-It was good. -Yeah?

It was really good. Yeah.

Yeah, he's the best.

-[Gabi] Yeah. -He's a warrior. He worked...

-He worked me good. -[Gabi] Yeah.

[Roland] I was thinking about it when...

When I was getting my therapy, there's this...

amazing party tonight with this chef,

Charlie Dominic, have you heard of him?

Yeah, you know him?

[Roland] Yeah, he's... We're close. Let's just say we're close.

But he's having this private dinner tonight.

Do you want to come with me?

No, I have some stuff to do.

Sorry.

No. No, no, no. [Gabi chuckling]

No, no, no.

[Roland] I won't take no for an answer. I can't. I've done all this.

I feel like I almost even came here...

to see you, even though I didn't know you were here, but...

-So just think about that, and... -Okay.

make my night.

-Bye! -Bye.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[sighs]

[tranquil music]

[Oren] Oh, my god.

My baby.

[Joanne] Oh, my god, I missed you.

-I missed you. -[Oren] I missed you so much.

I'm so bored here.

-It just sucks. -[Joanne] I love...

-[Martin] Hey, how are you? -Hey.

-Good, yeah. How are you? -Yeah?

[Martin] Yeah, I'm good. Good. How come you're back?

-[Joanne] I'm just down for the weekend. -Right.

-[Oren] No, but for real, tonight, -Hm?

we...

are going...

to some salsa

-at Los Globos at 8:00 p.m. -You're heading to salsa. Okay.

[Oren] So you, buddy, you're coming with us.

-Okay? -[Martin] Okay.

I'll try. I'll do my best, okay?

Well, I mean,

-you missed my going-away party. -I did.

[Joanne] So I just want to put it out there

that you do owe me a drink.

How is Claire treating you?

Is Claire doing good or not? [phone chimes]

[somber music]

[somber music continues]

[paper rustling]

[tranquil music]

[calm music]

[calm music continues]

[birds chirping]

[dog barking in distance]

[elevator dings]

[door opens]

[Martin] Hey.

I thought you had early appointments.

I just washed those.

[Martin] I didn't know.

Do you want a tea or coffee or anything?

[dishes clinking]

Hey, what's up?

Baby?

Hey, why are you upset?

What's going on?

[Gabi sighs] What's up?

What is it?

Are you okay? [Gabi sobs]

Are you okay?

I think we have a problem.

Why? Why? What's up?

I cheated on you last night.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

[Martin] Okay.

Martin.

[gasps]

Do you want to tell me something?

Do you want to tell me something?

What?

Yeah.

I did the same.

I'm sorry.

[sobs]

[whimpering]

[Gabi] Do you still love me?

Yeah.

I've never felt like this for anyone before.

We can make this work.

-Yeah. -We can figure it out.

-Please? -Yeah.

-We can fix it? -Yeah.

[Martin] There was something...

freeing about it, I thought, "Fuck it, you only live once."

And because it was new.

It was dangerous, exciting.

[Bret] What would happen if you...

If you shared your feelings?

If you told Gabi, what you told me?

I... [clears throat]

I don't think I could tell her that.

He will think I'm...

a monster. [sobs]

She would think I was a different person.

And then, I... That I wasn't...

who she loves.

[Bret] What if you found out that she...

related...

to you? What if you found out that...

the two of you had a lot more in common?

You might be surprised.

Maybe love is not enough.

Maybe we're not in love.

[sniffles]

I am in love. I am in love. I know that.

But maybe it's not enough. [sobs]

So I want to give you guys a challenge.

When you go home, I want you to sit down,

and try to be...

a hundred percent honest with each other about anything.

[Bret] Just for an hour.

And it can be small.

In fact, it should be, to start.

It's going to take some time,

and a little bit of courage.

It takes courage to be in love.

[dishes clinking]

-[Gabi] Okay. -[Martin] All right.

You say something honest, and then you take a sip.

[Martin clears throat]

You cannot drink if you are not saying something honest first.

-Okay. -Okay.

How many people have you slept with?

[Martin] Um, that will be around... It's...

I mean, I don't keep count, but it's going to be in the high 20s.

How old were you when you lost your virginity?

So, I was 16, and I was thinking that he was so sexy

and I was so excited, then we had sex for a few times.

And then, he stopped talking to me after it.

So, I went back to Barcelona, and then, the next summer, I came back here,

and then, I saw this guy again.

And he just wanted to have sex with me again.

But, then, I...

I fucked his friend instead.

[Martin] What? Why? What?

I don't know. [both chuckling]

I don't know. I was 16.

-[Martin] All right. Yeah. -I was 16, so...

[Martin] Um, okay. When I was 9, I would...

I can't believe I'm telling you this. I would just...

I would watch my sister in the shower.

-Why do you feel bad about that? -[Martin] Because...

I can't believe you were just cool about that. That was like...

I mean, kids do that. They are curious.

[Gabi] I could just be there watching with you for sure.

It's totally okay.

[rasps]

What is it? It's always there you're grabbing.

I don't know. I remember something I like with hair.

You know, it's like, mm.

When I touch it, I feel like... [moans]

[both laughing]

I have another one.

-All right. -Uh-huh.

Okay, tell me.

I want you really, really bad right now.

-[Martin] Let's go to bed. -[Gabi] No.

[Martin] Yeah, come on.

-[Gabi] What? -Let's go to bed.

-[Gabi] No. -[Martin] Why not?

[Gabi] Let's stay here.

-Yeah, but... -What?

People will... They are going to see us.

-So what? -So, let's...

-So what? -Let's go to bed.

[Gabi] Fuck them.

[Martin chuckles] We can do it like this. We can...

Do you want to do it like this?

[both moaning]

[both panting]

[Gabi moaning]

[grunting]

[Martin] Fuck.

[moaning]

[Martin chuckling]

[both panting]

Oh, my god. That was so fucking good.

[both chuckling]

[Gabi] You say hi to them.

Hi! [laughs]

[phone beeps]

Who was that?

[Gabi exhales]

The guy I slept with that night.

Do you want other people?

Sometimes, I miss flirting with other people.

[Gabi] Do you?

Part of me does, yeah.

Which part of you doesn't?

The part that's afraid I'll lose you.

If you're honest with me, you will never lose me.

[Gabi] You just have to be honest.

Yeah, I'll always be honest.

Yeah. No secrets, no family secrets, no sex secrets.

-Okay? -[Martin] Yeah.

If you want to flirt with a girl,

you can do it.

[Gabi] Just tell me.

Okay.

-[Gabi] Are you sure? -Yeah.

[Martin] Whose party did Blake say it was?

[Gabi] What?

[Martin] Whose party did Blake say it was?

[Gabi] I don't know.

-[Martin] Hm. -[Gabi] A friend?

[Martin] It's going to be fancy.

[jazz music playing]

-[Martin] Is Blake already here? -[Gabi] Um...

Yeah, I guess so, let's look for her.

[indistinct chatter]

[Martin] Oh, boy.

-Where's the bar? I need a drink. -[Gabi] There.

-So, choose one. -Let me pick, let me pick.

[Martin] You're distracting me.

I'm going with...

Okay, there's a girl inside.

-Um... -[Gabi] Where?

[Martin] By the fireplace, in front of that...

You see in the red dress?

-[Gabi] Yeah. -[Martin] All right.

-[Gabi] You like this girl? -[Martin] Yeah.

-She's hot, right? -[Gabi] She's hot.

Mm-hm.

What about you? You can pick one.

I'm going to pick the same girl.

-The same girl? -Yeah.

-Okay. -[woman #3] Everyone!

-Do you want to pick a guy? -No. Yeah.

-I'm going to pick... -Okay.

The birthday boy will be here in about 20 minutes.

No ins or outs. We want to make sure we surprise him, okay?

[crowd cheering] [Gabi] It's a birthday party?

-[Martin] It's a birthday party. -[Gabi] Whoo-hoo!

-Hey. -What?

Why don't you go and flirt with the tall girl?

-The girl inside? -Yeah.

And I'm going to be watching you.

-Yeah, you're going to watch? -But... Yeah.

I want you to flirt like...

-for real. -Okay.

[smooches]

[upbeat music playing]

Hey, hi.

-[Shay] Hi. -[Martin] How's it going?

-Good. It's all right. -[Martin] I'm sorry to interrupt.

-Uh, hey, I'm Martin. -Hi, I'm Shay.

-Shay? -Yeah.

It's very nice to meet you. How are you doing?

[Gabi] And you can be like, very clear, you know?

-No bullshit. -[man #1] Yeah. Exactly.

[man #2] They're also using it for best friends,

-have you heard about that? -[man #1] No.

-You need to find best friends? -[man #2] Yes, I'm bummed.

Bummed. What does it mean?

[man #1] That seems a weird way to start a friendship.

-[Gabi] No, but why not? -Between guys.

-I mean, you can have sex. -Yeah.

I'm here with my girlfriend that kind of knows someone,

and then we came and...

We were kind of talking about you outside, and then she kind of,

you know, she told me to come over and have a chat, yeah.

You came over here because your girlfriend...

-Mm. Yes, yes. -told you to come over?

-That's correct. -[Shay] Okay, cool.

-Okay. -What?

Hey, could you excuse me for a second? Yeah.

-Yeah, of course. Yeah. -Great.

[Martin] Right.

-You're very hidden away here. -[Martin] Blake.

-Uh, yeah, I'm hiding. -From?

Uh, from everyone, at the moment. I just... I'm not blending in.

-You don't like my party? -No, it's great!

-Thank you for inviting us, sorry. -I'm offended.

-No. That's not what I meant. -Now, get out. Get out.

-Where is Gabi? -I have no idea, I lost her. She was...

-[Blake] Hiding, like usual. -I don't know. Yeah.

I know. I mean, it's not a bad place to hide.

-No, it's good. -Do you have a lighter?

Yeah.

Thank you.

[lighter clicks]

Good dress.

Thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

[all] Surprise!

[crowd cheering]

[applause]

[Larry] All right, thank you.

[applause continues]

[man #3] Hey.

-[Larry] Hey, thank you. -[man #3] Happy birthday.

[Larry] Wow, okay. Well, thank you.

-Enjoy the party! -[man #4] Yeah!

[crowd cheering]

[Larry] Hi. Can I have a Sambuca with ice and do you have any coffee?

[bartender #3] No, sir. I'm sorry.

-No coffee. -[Gabi] Happy birthday.

[Larry] Oh, thank you.

I'm Gabi.

Hi. I'm Larry.

-[Gabi] Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

-And you came with? -[Gabi] With Blake.

-Oh, Blake. My paralegal. She's great. -Mm-hm.

-[Gabi] Yeah. -[Larry] Yeah.

Were you surprised?

I was surprised, yes.

And I don't want to seem ungrateful, but I just came off a 16-hour flight.

I would rather be in bed. [Gabi chuckles]

-You are like grumpy. -Yeah.

Would you like you some coffee? [Larry chuckling]

-Let's go and take your coffee -Okay.

because you're grumpy. [both laughing]

-If I was in... -[Blake] What superhero?

If I was in mild peril and you turned up, I would be thrilled.

I would be so happy with that. Like, it's perfect, save the day.

-Save the day? -I'd be getting into trouble purposefully.

[Martin] 'Cause you're like...

-Do I look like a superhero? -You have the presence of a superhero.

-The presence of a superhero? -The presence...

[both laughing]

-The presence of a superhero? -Fine. I just meant the composure.

The composure and the... Not like the presence.

-[Blake] The physique? -The physique as well.

Yeah, you're tall. You could be a superhero.

[Gabi] I invent games.

I go into an art gallery or museums.

-[Larry] Yeah. -[Gabi] And then,

that's something I do with my boyfriend.

We have to choose one piece of art and we have to take it home.

I thought you came with Blake Baeson.

Yeah. I came with her. I mean, she invited us.

Okay, so, what would you take?

What would you take from the kitchen?

-From this kitchen? -[Larry] Yeah.

The toaster.

[Larry] Ah. Good choice.

Very good choice.

[calm music]

[Larry] Ah! [laughs]

No, thanks for the party, it was so good.

Bye, see you later.

[Martin chuckles]

[Gabi] Did you like watching me?

-[Martin] Yeah. -[Gabi] Really?

-Yeah, did you want him? -I want you.

[upbeat music]

[phone chimes]

[Martin] What do you want?

I want to watch you get a lap dance from a stripper.

["Short Line" by Howling playing]

[Martin] I want to spy on you.

[Gabi] How?

[Martin] I want to watch you on a date.

[Gabi] Okay, this one.

-Yeah? -[Gabi] Yeah.

[Gabi chuckles]

He's handsome.

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music continues]

[Martin] What do you want to do?

[Gabi] What do you want me to do?

Take him to ours.

[Gabi] And then he put on a condom and he took me from behind.

[Martin] Where?

Against the stove.

[Martin gasps]

-Did you cum? -No.

[both panting]

[Martin] What else do you want?

[Gabi] I want a threesome.

With who?

You can choose.

[chuckles]

How about Blake?

No friends.

It's complicated with friends.

Yeah, okay. No friends.

-[Gabi] Update status. -Yes.

-[Gabi] Open relationship. -[Martin] Open relationship.

-[Gabi] And, yes, this one? -[Martin] Yes.

No.

No, no.

Yes.

Fuck, yes.

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music continues]

[Gabi] What time is it?

[Martin] It's like 10:30 a.m.

Is she breathing? [Gabi chuckles]

No, I'm being serious. [chuckling]

She hasn't moved for like, five minutes.

Oh! [laughs]

Oh, she's awake. Yeah.

[Gabi] Now, repeat after me.

I promise to always push you.

I promise to always push you.

And I promise to keep sending you in new directions.

And I promise to keep sending you in new directions.

And never stop.

And never stop.

[Gabi] And to do it together.

And to do it together.

[Esther] So the sacred cow of the romantic ideal is monogamy.

And the idea itself that it could be negotiated

means already that there's something missing.

The conversation about infidelity and the conversation

about open relationships is not the same one.

Because the essence of infidelity is secret.

It's organized around a secret.

The concept of an open relationship

is that your explorations with others are not a secret.

And that notion that when I go to look for someone else,

it's not always because I want to get away from you,

it's because I want to get away from the person that I have myself become.

And it's not that I want to find somebody else,

but I want to find another self.

I think it's at the core of a lot of affairs.

There are people who are trying to basically reconcile two sets of values,

two fundamental sets of human needs.

It's to have one relationship in which, with you,

I can have the anchor and the waves.

I can have the stability and the security,

but that I can also have the freedom and the autonomy.

And this improbable marriage between the feeling of belonging

and the feeling of freedom with one person

is probably the great challenge of modern love to date.

[crowd applauding]

[Martin] So, what do you think?

[Gabi] Do you want to ask her?

-[Martin] I don't know. -[Gabi] No?

[Martin] She kind of answered a lot of questions.

Enjoy. Thank you.

[Gabi] Hi, thank you so much.

-I'm Gabi. -Hello. Hi, Gabi.

-This is Martin. -I'm Martin.

-Nice to meet you. How's it going? -Hi, Martin. A pleasure. Good.

Thank you so much. It was amazing.

We're... We are trying to do

-this kind of open relationship. -[Esther] Mm-hm.

[Gabi] And to just listen someone recommending it, it makes you feel like,

-"Okay, it's okay." -Yeah.

Uh, just so we are clear, I'm not recommending it,

but that doesn't mean it's not valid.

[Esther] So, if you think of it as...

the thing that doesn't kill us but makes us stronger, then, yes.

But I really want you to imagine it less as a destination and more as a layover.

[Gabi speaking Spanish]

[continues speaking Spanish]

[Gabi speaking Spanish]

Gab, Gab.

Say hi for me.

[continues speaking Spanish]

He says hi.

[speaking Spanish]

[Gabi] He's always so excited when he says,

-"Oh, tell Martin, hi, hi, a kiss." -How is he?

Do you think they will come out and visit?

[Gabi] No, I was talking about...

maybe coming on Christmas, but they're like, they don't know yet.

-[Martin] That would be fun. -[Gabi] Yeah.

[Martin] I like that.

[somber music]

Excuse me, miss. Can I help you?

[both chuckling]

[Gabi] Actually, you can, because I'm quite lost.

[chuckles] Welcome.

[thwacks]

Oh! Did you see that one?

-[Martin] That was magic. It was magical. -[Paul] It must have been three yards.

If half of what you told me is true, you got to marry her ASAP.

I'm serious. Lock that shit down, man.

[Martin] It's good. We don't own each other, but...

it has made us a lot closer, you know?

And you're genuinely okay when she sleeps with other people?

It doesn't freak you out?

So far, like, no one has made it, no one has made her cum.

So, it's like, it's kind of fucking...

-It makes me feel great. -Okay.

When she comes home, I'm the one that gets her off, so...

-[Martin] It's weird. I know. -It's amazing, man.

I'm very jealous! Ah, shit.

Do you know what I did last night?

[Martin] What?

I read Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater, I changed the shitty diaper

and I fell asleep at 8:00 p.m. in a chair.

[Paul] There's something I got to tell you, man, and there's like...

no cool way to do it, so...

I don't know how to say it, so I'm just going to...

Bethany had a kid.

After you brought her up the other day,

I asked Quinn, Quinn went on Facebook,

I guess she like, had a little boy...

earlier this year with some guy who is not...

I don't think he's an ex-boyfriend,

who's not in the picture, but...

it's all Facebook info, so I don't really know what time, I just...

I knew that...

I knew that I should tell you.

I guess she did block me.

[in Italian] [Larry and Gabi] Cheers!

-[in Italian] Cheers. -[Gabi] Mm-hm.

Are you married?

Twice?

Divorced.

Do you have kids?

[both laughing]

So, does your boyfriend know that you're here?

[Gabi] Not yet, but I'll tell him.

What are you guys, swingers or something? Is that what you are?

We're like, open. We tell each other everything.

How does that work?

It works good.

It's just being honest.

What do you get out of that?

[Gabi] What do you mean? Like, I have to get something out of it?

Well, everything is a transaction.

Okay.

Transparency.

Well, that's tough.

[Gabi] Mm. Why?

Well, in my experience...

there are some things that, uh...

you just can't see.

And maybe that's for the best.

What's the goal, then?

-The goal? -Mm-hm.

The goal. The goal is accepting that, uh, I'm alone.

I've spent so many years in my life trying to structure it,

so that I wouldn't feel alone, but...

But finally, you can't own anything. Not really.

So now, I'm...

I like to look out at the ocean.

And if somebody...

kind, smart, and attractive, [Gabi chuckles]

wants to spend some time

looking out with me,

well, then that works, too.

[in Italian] [Larry] It's a miracle.

[both chuckling] [Gabi] Yeah.

I don't know, I think it's still sad.

Somehow.

[Larry] The saddest people are the ones that don't know what they want.

Yeah. [Gabi snorts]

How was it?

He's cool.

You know, he has no bullshit.

It was fun. And the sunset was amazing.

-Are you guys safe? -[Gabi] What?

Were you safe?

No, we didn't do anything.

[Martin] And what did you do?

[Gabi] We talked and we got some drinks, spent some time on the boat.

That's it.

-[Martin] Cool. -What are you doing there?

-What? -What are you doing here?

-Are you okay? -Yeah, I'm good. I'm heading out.

-Are you sure? Where? -Yeah.

I'm going to see Paul.

-[Martin] Hi. -Hi.

Claire is Gabi's... Or was. Yeah.

-Cool. Hey. -She's always keeping you to herself. Hey.

[Martin chuckles]

What's up? What are you doing tonight? Just drinking?

Yeah. Hanging out.

[Blake] You have friends coming or you're just by yourself?

No, I'm alone. I'm...

[Blake] You said that so sad.

No, it's not like that. I was just having a night...

Do you need a friend?

-Yeah. If you want to join. -Do you want to sit?

No, I'm going to go meet the girls. Text me later.

-Okay, bye. -Love you.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you. See you later.

[Blake] What are you drinking and how drunk are you already?

[Blake chuckles] No, I'm not drunk. That's a Jameson.

No. Gabi and I are not actually that close.

We're only friends because of Claire.

Well, not only friends because of Claire, okay?

-Really? -Mm-hm.

And the guys are really into Gabi.

It's kind of infuriating. [Martin chuckles]

-It's infuriating for you, really? -Yeah. Extremely infuriating.

Because you got such trouble with the guys, really?

I'm selective.

-Selective, okay. -I'm picky.

What are you picky about?

-Hmm. Tall. -Yeah.

-Funny, sensitive. -Hm?

Ah. All right.

-We should do shots. -[Martin] Shots?

That's very out of the blue, but, yes, we should.

[Martin] Okay, all right.

[Blake] Can we please...

Can we please do shots?

[phone chimes]

[Martin] Should we wait just a minute or something?

[Blake] No. Do I have to open your mouth and pour them?

[Martin groans]

[glasses clink] [Blake] Yes!

I sound like a Valley girl.

Mm-hm. Good idea. All right.

What's up?

[Blake snaps fingers] What?

You just, like, do this thing where you go off and then you come back.

It's kind of rude.

-[Blake] Yeah, you do. -Uh-uh. I'm right here.

Come on, tell me. What's wrong?

[Martin] No. Nothing is wrong. [chuckles]

I see something above your head

and it kind of looks like a big black cloud.

[both laughing]

-No. Nice try, though. That's... -[Blake] Come on.

Tell me what's up. Don't be a pussy.

"Don't be a pussy"? You really think that's like...

[Blake] Man up.

The dark cloud is getting bigger. It's taking over the whole bar.

[chuckles]

No, no.

[Blake] Do you need another shot? [Blake chuckles]

You know, my ex-wife had this, uh...

She had a miscarriage...

a few years ago.

I'm sorry.

No, you don't have to be sorry. I'm not saying it for sympathy.

I'm saying that... [inhales]

[sighs]

just thinking that we, you know, we talked about having kids,

and obviously, she was, you know,

she was distraught when it happened, of course.

Then she asked me how I was doing, and I realized I was...

[Martin] I was kind of fucking relieved, because I...

I lost it and I ran from everything. I ran from her.

And school and whatever, but that's...

I just drove myself crazy with all the bad stuff I could be.

It's so simple. Like, now, at the back, it was so simple. I just...

I just couldn't tell her a simple truth.

You know, I wasn't ready.

I wasn't ready. I... For any of that.

For any of it.

Um...

I couldn't say that to her, so...

[sighs]

The thing is, I always believed that she...

When I was ready, she would be waiting for me.

Of course, like, I think she was the one who's going to love me most, always.

And then, like...

this morning, I found out she had a kid, and I was...

I don't even, I think...

That's great, you know. It's just so...

It's great.

[somber music]

Um...

Oh, fuck, I'm so... I did not mean to put you in this situation. I'm sorry.

-It's fine. -[Blake] Uh, what's up?

Um, do you want another shot, or...

I'm okay.

[Blake] I'm sorry. I just...

I just don't...

I don't think I'm the right person to tell.

Um, I got to go.

Okay.

-Keep safe. Bye-bye. -[Blake] Yeah, bye.

[somber music]

[whispering] [Martin] Hey, Gab.

Gab, baby.

Baby, are you awake?

[light switch clicks]

Hey. Hey.

-Hey. Can we talk real fast? -[Gabi] Hi.

-I'm sleepy. -I know. But I need to talk to you.

-[Gabi] In the morning. -[Martin] Come on, baby, please now.

-[Gabi] Come, come inside. -Yeah, I know. Can we talk first?

Please?

-Baby. -[Gabi] Come.

Do you want to do spooning?

[light switch clicks]

[Gabi] Hi, how are you?

-[Angelica] Hi. -What's your name?

Angelica.

My name is Gabi. Nice to meet you.

[Larry] Yes. Well, we actually frequent this place quite often.

[Gabi] Really?

[Larry] There's a particular fish that we like to see.

[Gabi] You have to show me the best places.

[Larry] Yeah.

I mean, this one guy is, he's like a dragon of sorts, isn't he?

[calm music]

[Larry] Well, here's my favorite guy.

-[Angelica] I like it. -Look at him.

[Gabi] I like his spots, like these different little spots.

[blissful music]

[blissful music continues]

-[Bethany] Fuck! -[Martin] Fuck! No, no, no.

Oh, yeah.

[Bethany screams] Aah, shit!

[Bethany laughs]

[Martin] You're in fucking trouble now. Oh, you're in so much trouble.

[Bethany] No, stop! [Martin laughing]

[Bethany screams]

[Martin] Man down. I'm out! I'm out.

No. No, no! [Martin & Bethany laughing]

No. [Bethany giggling]

[piano music playing]

[Bethany] You like that part?

[Martin] Yeah. [laughs]

[piano playing]

[clicks]

[Martin] And this is baby diary. Day one.

-Here's our baby. -[Martin] Yeah.

-[Bethany] I'm going to be like that. -[Martin] It's so big already.

[Bethany] I'm going to be like that in a...

Pretty soon.

Hey, and I'm going to love you. I'm going to love you so much.

[smooches]

[Martin] I felt it, it kicked.

-[Bethany] Really? This? -[Martin] It kicked.

Oh, yeah. He's going to be a little fighter, though.

[Martin laughs]

[Larry] What a little lush.

Drunk on...

on pizza and milkshake, huh?

There's some wine, if you want.

There's some Rioja.

[Gabi] Okay.

[Larry] And some Cabernet, you choose whatever you like.

[Gabi] Okay.

-[Larry] And the decanter. -Don't worry. Okay.

[retreating footsteps]

[keyboard clacking]

[phone chimes]

[tapping]

[clicking]

[clinks]

[approaching footsteps]

[Gabi] Is she asleep?

[clanks] Huh?

[Gabi chuckles]

Wow.

[in Spanish] [Larry] You like it?

[Gabi] Yes.

-[Larry] A G. -G of... G for what? Gina?

Gina, yes. Every girlfriend I have, their names begin with a G.

-Greta? -Yeah, Greta.

[soft chuckle]

It's very nice. I mean, you don't have to give me anything.

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

[Gabi] No, I'm not upset. I like it a lot. Thank you so much.

And I like you.

And I like you.

[chuckles]

[smooches]

-[Martin] Hey. -[Gabi] Hey.

What are you doing home?

-I called in, I needed a day. -[Gabi] Oh, are you sick?

-No, I just needed a day. -[Gabi] Okay.

We can spend the morning together.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Are you going to tell me what happened?

-Yesterday? -Mm-hm.

Nothing. We went to the aquarium. [water sloshing]

With his daughter. She's super sweet.

-Yeah? -She's so cute. She's amazing.

And then, we went to his place, and then we opened some wine, we got...

We got a little bit drunk.

[clatters]

[Martin] And that was it?

No, we had sex.

Did you come?

[dishes clink]

Yeah.

-[Gabi] You okay? -Mm-hm.

[smooches] Are you sure?

[Martin panting]

[Gabi moaning]

[grunts]

[both panting]

[Gabi moaning]

[Martin grunting]

[thumping]

[Gabi moaning]

[Martin panting]

[thumping]

[glasses shatter]

Fuck.

[panting]

[Martin] Fuck.

[clatters]

So, when are you going to see him again?

All right.

[Larry] I'm having a...

A dinner at my house, weekend after the next.

I was wondering if you were around,

if you might want to come.

[lighter clicks]

-Yeah. -Yeah?

Maybe, yeah. [puffs]

Ah! [both chuckle]

[puffs] Ah!

[chuckles]

[lighter clicks]

[clears throat] [Gabi] I have to check with Martin.

I don't know if we are going to do something.

Yeah.

[Gabi] Okay. Maybe, I'll come.

-[in Spanish] You want? -[Gabi] Yeah.

[in Spanish] Thank you.

Does, um...

Does he wear protection?

-[Gabi] Martin? -Mm-hm.

No.

I would like it if he did, you know.

[exhales]

[puffs]

[Gabi blows raspberries]

[Larry snorts]

[both laughing]

Martin is my boyfriend.

And what am I?

You're my boatman.

-Your boatman? -Holy shit!

[Gabi groans]

-[Larry] Oh, no. Not another cramp. -Yeah.

Ah. That's it, that's it.

-[Larry] Cold feet? -[Gabi] Yeah, cold feet.

[Gabi groaning] [Larry] Warm heart.

[chuckles]

[smooches]

[both chuckling]

[exhales]

[Claire] She... She told me about all of his ex-wife drama.

I didn't even know he had an ex-wife, so...

What drama?

He has an ex-wife. So, what?

She implied that there were maybe regrets and issues.

[Claire] It just seemed like there was a lot of baggage.

That he had issues with his ex-wife?

[Claire] I mean, what do you think, are there any issues between you and him?

No, of course not. But why is he talking about that to Blake?

-[Claire] I don't know. -Why is Blake talking about that?

-To you. -[Claire] I think you need to ask him.

-Are you okay? -[Gabi] Yeah.

[Claire] Do you wanna watch a movie or something?

-[Gabi] What? -Do you want to watch a movie?

[Gabi] Uh...

No, you go, you go. You watch.

[door closes]

[somber music]

[sniffles]

[exhales]

[somber music]

[door opens]

[piano music playing]

[Martin chuckling]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[Gabi] "You are constantly on my mind.

Anything I think or do is just a reflection of our time together

-and that makes miss you constantly." -What the fuck are you doing?

-Hey. -[Gabi] "I should... I think..."

-[Martin] Get... -[Gabi] You are...

You can't go through my fucking shit! [thuds]

[Gabi] Why are you mailing her? What is going on?

Why are you mailing her? Why are you watching her videos all the time?

[Martin] It's my fucking personal shit. You shouldn't go through it.

-It's your shit? It's your fucking shit? -Yes, it's my fucking personal shit.

You have to talk to me about your fucking shit, okay?

-I don't need to talk to you about it. -Why are you not opening up about her?

-I tried to fucking talk to you. -When did you try? When did you try?

-Gabi, please. Don't fucking start this. -When? What? No!

-No! Tell me! When did you try? -You can't go through that shit.

-No, no. You know what? Okay. -You don't wanna talk to me about that.

-Do you know what we need to talk about? -What?

-Let's talk about this. -I didn't know how to react to that.

-You didn't know how to react to this? -No, I didn't.

But you didn't have a problem fucking accepting it, did you?

You didn't have a problem fucking keeping it, did you? Is this from him?

You can tell me about it, Gabi.

You can tell me all about this because that's how we work.

That's how this works. That's how we work. Please.

Tell me about this fucking necklace you got given, please.

Because I don't fucking know about that.

-Is it from him? -It's just a fucking necklace.

-Do you love him? -No!

-No. Do you love her? -No, I don't fucking love her.

-She's in the past. You have nothing to... -She's a fucking ghost!

-She's a fucking ghost inside of you. -Gabi, she's not a fucking ghost.

-She's fucking here! -She's not a ghost.

-She's in the past, Gabi! -She's fucking here all the time!

-Get the fuck out of here. -She's not! She's here! Okay?

-In the breakfast! -Do you think I wanted any of this?

Do you think I wanted any of this, knowing you're with another guy half the time?

You're with another fucking guy! Because you're so fucking self-entitled!

You knew I loved you, so you fucking dragged me along for your fucking games.

I didn't want any of this!

-You didn't? -No!

-You're fucking me the most. -Yeah! Entitled little...

You're the self-deceptive person I've ever met!

Yeah. And you're the most self-destructive so I guess we're even, right?

[Gabi whimpering]

[somber music]

[sniffles]

[door slams shut]

Fuck! [phone smashes]

[sighs]

[gloomy music]

[gloomy music continues]

[Martin] I don't know. I guess she went home, or...

she might have moved in with him.

-I'm sorry, man. -[Martin] Oh.

You know, my grandparents were together for 57 years.

The night that I proposed to Quinn, I called them up, my grandpa.

And I asked him what the, uh, what the secret was.

And he kind of, like, thought about it for a really long time, actually.

And then he said...

"Love is two people who don't give up on each other."

-[Paul] Simple as that. -You're saying it's a choice.

[Paul] I feel like if you think too hard about it,

you're just kind of complicating it and fucking it up.

But you got to stop thinking.

And you got to get your broke-ass phone fixed.

[Martin chuckles]

Or get, like, a fax machine or something.

[Martin chuckles] [Paul] Get a beeper.

I would love a beeper. I think that's more of my vibe, you know.

You would look good with one. It will complete your look, man.

[Martin laughs]

Fuck.

I don't know, man. Whatever will be will be.

[Paul] No, man. No.

See, for love to work and for happiness to work,

and for you, if you want to have a family someday,

you have to actually pursue it.

You know? Don't leave it up to fate.

[door opens]

[door closes]

-[Gabi] Hey. -Good morning.

[Gabi] Oh, my god. You're an early bird, right?

[Gabi sighs]

Is your daddy up?

-No, not yet. -Not yet?

Do you want to make some breakfast for him?

-Yeah! -Yeah?

-You will help me? -Mm-hm.

[Gabi] And so... [eggs sloshing]

[both giggling]

[squelching]

Oh, my god.

[footsteps approaching] He's coming.

-[Gabi] No. You cannot come here. -[Angelica] No, no!

-Oh, my god. What is going on? -[Gabi] You can't come here.

-Stop him. -[Larry] All right, okay.

-Stop him. -All right. I won't look.

-All right, okay. -[Angelica] No! No!

[Gabi] Stop him. [chuckling]

Okay.

[Gabi] Well done.

[Larry] Did you, uh...

-Did you have any dreams last night? -[Angelica] Yeah.

I was in another dimension,

-and it was in 2040. -[Larry] Wow.

And then I was, like... And then I saw my future self.

-Wow. -Yeah, and I was like...

"Who are you?"

And then, my future self was like, "Who are you?"

[all laughing]

-[Angelica] Can I play on my iPad? -Yeah, sure you can.

But don't get the iPad sticky with all the maple syrup.

-Can you wash your hands first? -Yeah.

-Yeah? -Okay.

Okay. See you later.

-[Angelica] Bye. -Bye.

[Gabi chuckles]

I've been meaning to tell you that I have this offer...

that would take me to Europe for a while.

-Really? -[Larry] Yeah.

-For work? -[Larry] Uh-huh.

Munich, Milan, and Barcelona.

That's good.

Barcelona is good.

[Gabi] How long?

A year, two years. You know, depending on how things go.

-A year or two? -[Larry] Mm-hm.

-[Gabi] That's a long time. -Yeah.

What are you going to do with Angie?

-[Larry] Angie's going to come. -Really?

-[Gabi] Yeah? -I managed to convince her mother

that it would be a mistake not to allow her this kind of opportunity.

You know, her brain is like a little sponge right now.

Yeah.

Yeah. No, it's so good for kids to travel.

They learn other languages and cultures and...

-[Larry] Yeah. -She's lucky to have you.

Um...

I'd like you to come.

You could, uh, spend time with your family, your friends.

We can make new ones together.

Mm-hm.

Yeah.

[Gabi] So I got to know because I have my job here,

my friends, I have this whole life down here.

-[Larry] We could have a life there. -Yeah.

[Larry] Yeah.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

[Gabi chuckles]

-[Gabi] When is this happening? -[Larry] In two weeks.

These are the best soft scrambled eggs I've ever had.

What did you do to them?

It's like the details.

-All the details. -[Gabi] Yeah.

-I got to make a call. -Okay.

[somber music]

[somber music continues]

[Martin] You should take them with...

[customer #2] Yes, yes.

-[Martin] Okay. Um... -[customer #2] Mm-hm.

That's why I don't think they are right.

[phone ringing] [Martin] Okay.

Uh... hang on. Excuse me.

-[Martin] I'll be here one second. -Okay.

[phone continues ringing]

Pharmacy.

[Bethany] Martin?

Hey.

[Bethany] Hey. Sorry, I know you're at work.

Yeah. No. It's good. How are you?

[Bethany] I got your e-mail. I thought about e-mailing back,

but then, I thought it would be better if we spoke.

I asked Quinn for this number.

[indistinct chatter]

[Larry] Oh, god.

When I, when I... That's...

That's when Alex flipped the car open.

-[man #5] Oh, yeah. -That's when he flipped it open.

-[Larry] I believe he said... -Yeah, yeah.

-[Angelica] Daddy. -Oh, hi, honey.

[Angelica] The TV isn't playing.

-Oh, okay. Gabi, can you... -Yeah, sure.

Thank you so much. [laughs]

There was the other time when he was in New York,

-and he fell off all the steps. -[Gabi] Hey.

[Larry] But he was like sort of...

-[Gabi] What's going on with the TV? -I tried, but all it did was go red.

-Okay. Let's see. -That's all it did.

Um...

[Gabi] What about... Okay.

[Angelica] That's what I was talking about.

That's what I was talking about. [Gabi laughs]

[Larry] She came away with this Wonder Woman plot.

[wine sloshing]

[Gabi] Okay.

-Is this one okay? -[Gabi] Yeah.

[man #6] Okay.

-[Blake] Hi. -[Larry] This is Blake.

[Blake] I'm Blake. It's nice to meet you, and you are?

Blake has done a lot of great legal work for us.

-And Henderson. -Hi. I'm Blake. Nice to meet you.

[Blake] Hi. How are you?

[Larry] Yeah, it's great to have Blake.

-Would you like a glass of wine, -Yeah.

-or cocktail or anything? -Yeah. I'll have some wine.

-Wine is great. Wine is great. -Okay.

Hey, hey, hey. Where are you going?

[pants]

Why is she here?

She works for me. I thought you guys were friends.

I want her out.

-Come on. Don't be silly. She is here. -No, no. I want her out right now.

-No. -I just want her to leave right now.

[Larry shushes]

-I'm very clear with this. -I'm not kicking her out.

Now stop behaving like a fucking teenager, okay?

You're embarrassing yourself and me.

-Okay. -Now, go.

Okay. Yeah.

[door opens]

[tense music]

[door closes]

[Blake] Gabi. Don't leave. Don't leave.

Me and Martin only talked. We just talked, okay?

You should know that. You should know that.

I don't care what you're doing with Larry.

Gabi, talk to me for a second!

[tense music]

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music continues]

[somber music]

[somber music continues]

[gloomy music]

[gloomy music continues]

[water trickling]

[gasps]

[Bethany] Thank you.

-It's good to see you, Martin. -[Martin] Yeah. You, too.

-Congratulations again on... -Yeah.

-On the baby, yeah. -Oh, yeah.

[both chuckling]

Yeah. It was a surprise, definitely.

But it's the best thing that has ever happened to me.

-Yeah. -I know that sounds cliché, but it's true.

No, it's not cliché. That's... I mean, if it wasn't...

Mm. [Martin chuckles]

Um...

[clicks tongue] [Martin] What's his name?

Dylan.

Yeah, I know.

It's a good name.

-[Bethany] Yeah. -Like Bob.

I wanted to see you in person to tell you I'm sorry.

[Bethany] I'm sorry, Martin.

No, you don't have to say that. You've nothing to be sorry about.

-I'm the one who should apologize. -[Bethany] No. But I... For blaming you.

That wasn't fair of me.

It wasn't your fault or mine.

We were just kids playing house.

Are you happy?

[Bethany] I am.

But you know what the funny thing is?

[inhales]

It's not very exciting. [laughs]

It's kind of...

boring, predictable.

I don't know. Maybe that's just adulthood.

Are you happy?

[somber music]

[Bethany] Are you happy?

You're seeing someone?

Do you have a girlfriend?

No.

Mm...

[Martin] Uh...

Can I see Dylan? Do you have any photos?

[Bethany] Oh. Yeah, sure.

[both chuckling]

Oh, my god.

-He's cute. -[Bethany] He's very alert,

-always amazed-looking. -Mm.

-And he was fat, like, obese. -[Martin] Oh, no.

[Martin laughs] [Bethany] Yes.

-[Martin] Oh, my god. -[Bethany] Look at his arms.

[Martin chuckling]

-[Martin] He is chunky, right? -[Bethany] Mm-hm.

[Bethany] He's my heart.

He's so cute.

I'm really, really, really happy for you. That's...

[Bethany sniffles] [Martin] Oh, my god.

[Bethany sighs]

Yes. I should go back to work.

All right. Thank you for making time, some time.

[Martin] It's good to see you.

Thank you for the water. [Martin chuckles]

[Martin] It's all right.

It's L.A.'s finest, you know.

-Bye. -Okay.

[Bethany sniffles]

[somber music]

Okay.

Oh. [both chuckle]

[gloomy music]

[gloomy music continues]

[Larry] You considered my offer?

You know, I'm leaving soon. It would be nice to know.

You don't think we have to talk first?

-[Larry] About what? -[Gabi] About yesterday, last night?

Oh, well, the way that I see it,

I invited some friends, you felt out of place,

and Blake arrived, and for some reason, you went a little crazy, and...

I'm fine with that, but...

beyond that, I'm really not all that interested.

No, I'm not, in all honesty.

You don't want to know what I was doing last night?

We're running around in circles here. Help me help you. What is it you need?

[Gabi] Why don't you take me seriously?

-Seriously? -[Gabi] Yeah.

This entire relationship is based upon me not taking you seriously.

[Larry] It's how you introduced yourself.

It's what you are by your actions.

It's what you have proven to be.

And I'm fine with that, okay?

Do you want to know how an adult relationship works, huh?

-Do you want me to be transparent? -Yeah.

This is a transaction.

No.

I give you a necklace, you look at the ocean with me.

I give you a place to stay,

you play patty-cakes with my daughter and you sleep in my bed.

We go to Europe, you spend time with your friends, your family,

and we live like fucking royalty.

[Larry] And you spare me whatever perverted bullshit

you have to do, in order to feel...

somehow whole.

You want transparency?

You got transparency, okay?

[water sloshing]

I'm sorry. That was harsh.

It's okay.

[zipper rasps]

[Gabi] I... I get what you want.

[Gabi exhales]

But I think you are wrong about me.

I think you don't care to know me, and that you don't know me at all.

-[Larry] Okay, let's talk. -No.

No, I mean, sometimes, we say things we don't actually mean,

but I think you don't care to know me at all,

to know if you mean it or not.

[Gabi] It's easy-or-nothing with you, right?

And it's okay.

I mean, you have your whole life all set, right?

It's done. But I...

I have not even started mine, and I don't know...

[sighs]

I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I...

But I'm going to start mine.

And I don't want to do it with you.

[somber music]

[somber music continues]

[gloomy music]

[gloomy music continues]

[sighs]

I think I want something of my own now.

I want something serious.

I thought I didn't want it, but I do want it.

I don't know if I deserve it, but I want to try it.

And I think that if I try hard, maybe... [sobs]

I'll find a way with you.

[Gabi] Because when we're together,

it was magic.

[sighs]

[sobs] You say something.

-It just can't be how it was. -[Gabi] I know. I know.

-[Martin] Do you? -Yeah.

If I say I know, I know. I do know.

I don't want it like before. I don't want it like before.

You know, when I said I was in before?

And I wasn't. Not...

[Gabi whimpering] Not all of me.

I was afraid, but...

I really want you, only you.

I want you.

[chuckles]

[sniffles]

[blissful music]

What?

I think we're...

We're going to get bored of each other.

But that's okay.

You know, bored is okay.

We'll grow to resent each other, too.

We will remind each other why we are worth it.

[inhales]

I will disappoint you.

I'm going to disappoint you. [chuckling]

-[Gabi] You promise? -Mm-hm. Yes.

You promise me?

I promise you.
