Well, where is he?

He's in Chicago

at a partners' meeting.

He's a partner.

He's a lawyer.

- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

- Wow.

- Older?

- Yeah.

- How much older?

- Older.

OkY-

How'd you meet?

L-- I sold his house.

Okay, let me guess.

He's divorced?

Okay, he's divorced.

The wife got the kids,

he got the house.

But he thought

it was too big for him, right?

So he just wanted like, a cooler,

smaller bachelor pad in the city,

somewhere in a high-rise?

' One.

. No?

No, no.

His new house is much bigger.

( Music plays)

- Nick:
Those are different.

- ( gasps )

- Stop.

- It's this machine.

Are you getting everybody

on that, by the way?

- I'm trying to.

- 'Cause I just--

I can't just have it be your clique.

I need everybody.

You're right. You're right. And I think

there's a lesson in there for me.

Julie:

Oh, good.

Anna:
Is that

his mother's earring?

Look, it looks like

a mother-of-pearl.

- He got away with that. Nobody ever--

- I know, right?

Back then it was, like,

that's how cool he is.

He could wear, like--

he could dress like a Village Person

- and still be cool.

- ( Anna laughs)

You had this amazing glow

in high school.

Yeah.

All these pictures. Crazy.

Well, I'd like to think

I still have that glow.

- You do, I think.

- That's not what I--

- I think you do.

- AJ:
That's not what I meant.

Oh, man.

Oh, no.

- Yep.

- Can we not?

That was senior year.

- That was four days ago.

- Look how tiny you were.

- ( AJ laughs )

- Isn't it sad?

I was a tween.

I was still a tween.

I remember that day.

I got my first pube

and I thought I was turning into

a fly-human hybrid

'cause I watched

too much science fiction.

- You're so funny.

- Well, thanks.

Clearly you had a much better time

in high school than I did.

I had a much better time

in high school than you did.

In fact, I think I had a much better

time in high school than anybody did.

What was the secret?

My mother actually--

she taught me very early on

how to have a very good time.

Wherever she is now,

she's probably drunk, having a blast.

Julie:

Photo op!

That's why

whatever high school taught us,

I'll always remember

my very first lesson.

- Cheese.

- Yay!

- Can I get a copy of that?

- Let me see it.

- Should be one more.

- Oh, I gotta take this off.

- No, that's beautiful.

- And my eyes are a little closed.

- Do you want a hand with that?

- Here, I got it. I can get it.

OkY-

- All right. All righty.

- Okay.

- So much better.

- Julie:
Gorgeous.

- Ready?

- Julie:
All right, guys.

One, two, three.

Julie:
Cheese.

Oh, love it!

Can I get a fresh one?

You have a TV out here

or just the one back at the bar?

I'm sorry, sir.

The TV's actually in the bar.

OkY-

You ain't no Jake, bro.

Hey, honey.

Thanks for getting me a drink.

- Is he kidding?

- Let me get you a drink.

- No, it's fine.

- You sure?

Yeah, no. I just would like my husband

to ask me if I'd like a drink.

- It would be a nice gesture.

- You're the one that let him drink.

Let him drink? He's a big boy.

I'm not his babysitter.

Oh, come on. You know you're

his babysitter, so don't even--

- let's go look at pictures.

- Why don't you go be his babysitter?

- So I can have a night off.

- I think we're gonna--

babe, we' re just gonna stay here

and have a little girl time.

- Okay. All right.

- Love you.

Wait, wait, look. This is Andre.

- That's funny. Yeah.

- He's dancing with his sister.

Garrity:

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my God.

Is that you?

Yep, that's me.

Well, there it is.

Garrity:

Yep. There it is.

"G-Money."

Garrity:
That's my friend,

Brock, right there.

And with the "B.U.M. Equipment"

is Ross.

- Where'd you go?

- Olivia:
Oh, I'm just...

seeing if I can get

any more "G-Money."

(sighs)

Hmm.

Sh*t.

Why's it feel so long ago?

( Chuckling )

Uh-huh.

Sassy.

Look at that.

Was that Christmas?

Mary:
Yeah, it was.

And this was prom.

I guess so.

You know, I got my tiara like,

two, three weeks later.

Sorry you didn't get to wear it.

I wore it.

It was only in my room, but...

- ( chuckles )

- I wore it.

No, sorry.

No.

You don't wanna go over there?

No.

Do you wanna go over there?

I love you.

- Right?

- Mm-mm.

No.

I love each and all of you.

Thank you for accepting my apology.

Allowing us to be

besties again...

for the first time.

- Peter:
It's fine.

- It is fine. It's great.

It's better than fine.

It's awesome.

Because if you didn't accept my apology,

I would have to force you to.

But I wouldn't use my fists,

'cause I ain't like that.

- I'd use my tongue.

- Sorry.

Cully:
Not only that,

it wouldn't be violent.

It would be tender.

( chuckles )

You would be like my cell mate.

- And I would swallow...

- Oh, God.

"W pride.

Sicko.

Get your little funny-shaped head

out of the gutter there, chipmunk.

- What is your problem?

- Honey.

What? He knows I'm joking.

He know-- come on, come here.

You know I'm kidding, right?

Man:
No, no. No, no.

Please--

- Come on, hug it out.

- Honey--

Cully:
I don't think you look

like a chipmunk.

( Groans )

I just can't--

Hey, hey, Peter.

Hi. I'm sorry that--

thanks for being

such a good sport.

L-- you know- I know he can be

a little aggressive and,

you know, he's had

one too many drinks.

But he really means well

and he really is

such a sweet guy.

And I know it was really important

to him to talk to you.

No, no, no. It's--

I'm sorry.

'Cause you must have

to say this to a lot of people.

Huh?

L-- I have to go.

Reeves:
So, if I want a new house,

I should call you.

Whatever.

I'm sure you need all sorts of houses

for all those baby mamas

and groupies.

Baby mamas?

No, baby mamas get

their own baby mama condos,

typically, and the groupies

are more of a road thing.

Please, can I see your tour bus?

"Never Had" is, like,

the best song of all time.

- Yeah?

- Totally. Totes.

- Best song?

- Ever.

That song...

I wrote it in like, two hours

and it barely made the album.

It's kind of crazy

how people like it so much.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Have you never heard the song?

Yeah. What?

( laughs )

I-- I mean, you just

have to understand that...

lam in the car all the time

'cause of my job.

- Uh-huh.

- And I've got satellite radio,

but I'm more of a talk radio

kind of girl.

Uh-huh.

You know what? I bet if I heard it,

I would recognize it.

I'm sure.

I'm sure if I heard it, I'd know it.

The truth is,

I was only distantly aware

that you were a musician.

It's okay. It's all right.

You're just-- you're just telling me

that you're not with it.

- Right?

- Sorry,

It's all right.

Don't apologize.

Hey, I really would love

to hear you play.

It's pathetic

that I haven't heard you.

It's not. No, it's not.

It's not pathetic.

It just means that--

that you're one of the few people here

that's talking to me

because of who I was,

not because of who I am.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

So...

how many times

has he been divorced?

- Twice.

- Twice?
