That's my book.

I'm sorry. I was just skimming through it.

You were drooling.

You don't strike me as a girl that likes to read smut.

Men have become these like passive little boys.

Oh, have they?

When you get back, you have to have the talk.

I'm slowly dying here without you.

Sometimes losing control has its own kind of power.

Dillon just put Chelsea in her car-

- handcuffed and blindfolded.

Dude, it's Dillon.

I told you she's into some freaky shit.

Let's begin.

Last night was fun.

Yeah. Rafe, there's customers.

There's one customer, and we can go in the back.

Stop.

What's wrong?

I don't want to talk about this stuff at work.

We could talk about it at my place later.

♪

I'll be right back.

♪

Good morning.

Oh, yes, it is.

Why? What happened?

Rafe was pulling out of the driveway-

- when I got home this morning.

- Looks like the good girl had a bad girl night.

It's not what you think.

It's exactly what we think.

Was it that big?

It was... fine.

Fine?

Yeah, it was just fine.

Fine is shit.

Fine is not what you need right now.

I want every horrific detail,

- but first I gotta go pee.

Get me a coffee?

You didn't tell her, did you?

About what?

The surprise party.

Oh. No, I wouldn't do that.

Because she was asking if the three of us-

- wanted to hang on Saturday,

- so I thought maybe she suspected something.

No, I would never do that.

I know how to keep a secret.

Good to know. Too bad Rafe doesn't.

What can I get you?

Yeah, can I get a medium sugar free mocha-

- with almond milk?

- I need to take this.

Please tell me you sent the check.

Oh, that's nice.

No "Hello. How have you been?"

Hi, Vincent. How are you?

Put it on speaker.

Good. Getting by.

That's great.

And no, I haven't sent it.

The apartment doesn't give back security deposits-

- till both people move out,

- so I'll have to write you a personal check.

Okay. And when will that be?

Um, let me see.

Um, hold on just a second.

What am I holding on for?

I wanna check

and see when my next commission check is going through.

My wifi's really slow for some reason.

♪

Dude, get off the phone.

You have to tell me what happened.

Okay. Shh, shh.

Hey, do you just wanna call me back?

No, not really.

Hang on.

The page is opening now.

Oh, my God, I'm gonna cum.

Keep her on the phone.

Okay, well, I have to go. I'm at work.

You know what? I can get you the money by next week.

Okay, great. I will text you my address.

Don't let her hang up.

Wait, wait, wait. One more thing.

What? He's being super annoying.

- Who, Rafe? - No. Shh.

The couch we bought.

Yeah, what about it?

Do you want it or...

- Cum inside me. - No, it's fine.

You can just keep it.

Oh, my God.

What?

Oh, my God.

Vincent, I said you could keep the couch.

You're making me wait for Vincent?

What?

Oh!

Oh, my God. He's crying.

Seriously?

♪

Vincent, listen, I know we didn't end on the best of terms,

- and, you know, I really do wish you nothing but happiness.

I know. I know.

Send me the check whenever you can, okay?

Okay.

Wow. He is not taking the breakup well.

Ash.

Excuse me just one sec.

Oh, sure.

Better watch out.

I'm going to steal your husband away.

Jules just adores you.

Well, she is the best.

I will scold her-

- for not telling me how beautiful you are.

Oh, that's very nice of you to say.

And very honest.

I'd love to photograph you sometime.

Do you model?

Oh, I used to a little bit in high school,

- but not anymore.

- Would you take your clothes off?

So how was Fuckit?

Do you even care?

Not particularly.

So why would you ask?

♪

Because pretending like I care-

- gets me further with you than honesty.

You're drunk.

Not drunk enough.

It's not nudity in the exploitative sense.

It's erotic art.

Either way, I don't take off my clothes-

- in front of cameras.

Think about it. It's liberating.

And I won't even keep the digital pictures.

And you can pose with Jules.

She's been begging me to shoot her.

I think she likes the idea-

- of her pictures hanging in our living room.

I bet she does.

♪

Could you excuse me for just one second?

Of course.

♪

♪

No more hiding from Rafe.

I wasn't.

Dude, I am not blind.

I can't help it.

It's just that work has been so awkward.

It's like a nightmare.

You're making it a nightmare.

What's the worst that could happen?

He fucks you again,

- and then maybe this time you like it. Boom.

Yeah, or just makes it more awkward-

- because I don't know how I feel about him.

Don't overthink it.

Just play it cool,

- especially if there's a chance you like him.

Maybe you should play it cool.

What?

"Better watch out."

"I might steal your husband away."

Really, Jules? - What?

- You're parading him around right in front of her.

Ashley.

And she is so sweet and she really likes you.

Oh, sorry.

Have at it, guys.

Somebody at this party should be getting laid.

I was not parading him around.

Yes, you were, and if you're not careful, Scarlet's...

Birthday girl!

Get your ass in the kitchen.

The girls are doing Jager shots. Come on.

What's wrong with smut?

Exactly.

She was quite the contradiction.

She was demure, but very powerful.

She had no idea how powerful.

You know, most men just make fun of it,

- the complexities of female sexuality.

And I can't believe I just said that-

Why?

You know, I read online somewhere-

- that Keats is probably a woman, which is heartbreaking because...

He's very much a man.

How do you know that?
