'Cause that's the thing

that is so important to me.

Yes.

They're all accepting it, babe.

You did good.

Really?

- We were known as the Smash Crew.

- Olivia:
Mm-hmm.

When we weren't smashin',

we were sleeping.

And we always went to sleep

after we smashed.

No cuddling.

Tell her about it, baby.

- Garrity:
Smashing was dancing.

- Boom, yeah. That's what they call it.

- Look, I-- cheers.

- Andre's kidding. It's like dancing.

No, it's funny.

I think it's funny.

I married a former wigger

and I had no idea.

It's hilarious.

Yeah, you might wanna "achay"

on the "worday," you know?

"The worday"?

What word?

Wigger?

- Yep, that one.

- ( Dre laughs)

I think, uh,

it's kind of offensive.

- Is it?

- Dre:
Who's offended? We ain't.

- Man:
Not at all.

- They're not offended.

- Dre:
Boom.

- I know, but it's two words

squished into one word,

and the one word would be offensive.

Dre:
Ooh-whee, time-out.

Twenty seconds.

Excuse me, ladies.

Where are you guys sitting?

I don't know.

You got a spot for us?

I have a gentleman here who's willing

to open up two seals for you.

- Yay.

- Oh, ladies. Please sit down.

- Would you like to be our guest?

- Have a seat. Have a seat.

All right.

Wait. Wait. Time-out.

Switch.

- Woman:
Are you kidding me?

- What?

- Ouch.

- What?

You coulda just said

you wanted to see--

Dre:
I just wanted to see you

across the table.

- Uh-huh.

- Sit down, girl.

- Well, hello.

- How you doin'?

- Good, how are you?

- Mm.

- Mm-hmm.

- Can I call you Snuggie?

Sure.

- Uh, you want a beer?

- I'll get it.

- You sure?

- You okay?

- I'm good, thank you.

- Paul:
Honey?

- I'll just do water now.

- Water.

Yeah.

- I'm sorry. What?

- Yes, I'm drinking water.

Yes, sorry. I lost the coin toss.

Designated driver.

Sam:
Jess, you have to come look

at this baby's face.

- You're gonna die.

- I'm gonna go over there.

- I'll be back.

- All right.

Honey, look at this baby.

Look at that face.

Woman:

She is too much.

Oh, my God.

Seriously, why don't

you just stay here?

No, we live-- we're just 45 minutes

out of town.

It's not that bad. It's so nice to...

sleep in your own bed.

( laughs )

It makes me happy.

I'm really kind of shocked.

I didn't think

you were gonna show.

- Sam said you weren't coming.

- I wasn't, actually.

These things can kinda--

he convinced me last minute

to come by.

I think he's right.

I would've regretted it more--

- Ah. Convinced you.

- ...had I not come.

It's really good to see you.

- You, too.

- Yeah, I tried to find you online.

- Come on.

- There's a lot of Jake Staffords.

I'm just saying.

Shocking.

You know I can't do any of that at all.

- I'm technologically ignorant.

- Yeah.

I don't have any of those things,

either, but I really--

No, I know. I know.

I looked.

You're not there, either.

You're married, man.

- That's a--

- Yeah.

Well...

- Thank you.

- Sure.

- Thank you, sir. Appreciate it.

- Cheers.

Look who finally

decided to show up.

- I know.

- Looks so awkward.

It really is.

I'm so glad I never dated anyone

who went to our high school.

I could never handle that.

- No?

- Mmm.

Weren't you seeing someone

that whole year we had physics together?

Mm-hmm.

Randie Rustenberg.

- Where is she?

- She's in Bolivia.

- She...

- Wow.

Yeah, she's a Jew for Jesus now.

She's down there doing missionary work.

- She seemed so punk rock.

- Yeah, she was.

I think that...

you date who you're supposed

to like in high school.

Not who you actually like.

- Did you like your boyfriend?

- I loved my boyfriend.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Even after

he moved to Austin?

Woman:

Ahem--

- Oh, hello.

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

- How you doing?

- Good.

I just had to come

and tell you that "Never Had"

is one of my top ten

favorite songs.

Wow, thank you very much.

Thanks.

- Yeah.

- Nice to meet you.

Most favorite song ever.

Ah, well. Let's not go crazy.

All right.

So how did you remember

that he had moved to Austin?

I don't know.

Do you have a cigarette?

- Yeah, I do.

- I'm not just saying that

- because we were classmates.

- Oh, no. Don't worry. I believe you.

Can we smoke that?

Yeah, okay.

- Bye.

- Nice to see you again.

- Yeah, bye.

- All right, bye.

- He wanted to date me and I-

- Nick:
You were dating somebody

- you were cooking with.

- That's not the way it was.

- That's what you were doing.

- He wanted to date me

- and I was with somebody already.

- And what happened?

She left her purse over here.

She was here?

Yeah, well, you were sitting

at the buffet and--

What? Okay, did she say anything

about being single?

- Why wouldn't you tell me that?

- Well, she didn't have a ring

on her finger.

You looked at her finger?

You're a married man.

- You looked at her finger.

- I did a ring check, I mean--

Oh, a ring check.

Is that something guys do?

You check you always

check the ring, right, Scotty?

Urn, you know, I don't--

I don't really--

- I don't-- yeah, I checked.

- What?

- Yeah, I checked.

- Is this a thing--

Well, it's Anna. I went pretty hard

after her in high school, so I just--

- I was curious.

- Okay, I gotta go talk to her.

- I gotta go make a move.

- Let's get her over here.

- We can ask questions.

- Oh, no, no, no.

- No, no, no, it'd be good.

- No, no, no, don't do that.

I'm gonna have one more drink

like a gentleman.

- I'm gonna walk over there--

- Let's get her over here.

- I think you're on the wrong page--

- Let's get her over here.

- Anna. Anna.

- You're an a**hole.

What are you doing?

You forgot your purse.

- You're crazy. Get over here.

- What an a**hole.

You know Marty.

You remember my friend Marty.

- Don't say it to me like I'm retarded.

- You forgot your--

Marty:
In your falsetto,

condescending voice.

AJ:
Get over here.

You remember my little friend Marty.

- Reeves:
Wow.

- Elise:
You're in luck.

- I don't even smoke.

- What? You used to smoke like a chimney

- in high school.

- I know. I quit.

I don't even remember

the last time I bought a pack.

Well, Why'd you buy that one?

I don't know. I woke up this morning

and suddenly had the urge.

- No, no, thanks.

- Are you kidding me?

You just asked me if I had one.

Yes, because I wanted to get out

of there and I knew that you smoked.

- I don't smoke.

- No?

Mm-mm.

Come on.

- Just take one.

- Just be a bad influence, now.

Loser, everybody's doing it.

I've-- honestly, I've never had

a cigarette in my entire life.

How is that even possible?

Aren't you supposed to be like,

this rock star?

I'm not a rock star.

I'm just a musician.

Traveling minstrel.

Nice.

So where's the Austin guy?

Huh?

- Where's he at?

- I don't know.

- We haven't spoken in years.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's in the past.

And what about the present?

- What about the present?

- Do you have a boyfriend?

Uh-huh.

- Long distance again?

- No, actually. Same city.
