Hi.

Get in, get in.

Dan's girlfriend,

come on, get in the pool.

Yes, do it.

Whoo-oo-oo!

Can you get me a beer?

You got it, yeah.

Dan, get us

a lot of beer.

Just keep it coming.

- Hey.

- Hi.

How are ya?

I'm all right.

Um, are we gonna go?

Right now?

You said one drink.

Oh.

You're not having fun?

I'm just tired of dealing.

School.

I understand.

I just -

I feel like it's important

that I'm here

with these people.

For work, you know?

Yeah.

That's cool. I mean,

you stay, I'll go.

- You sure?

- Yeah, it's fine.

Can you just text me

when you get home,

so I know you're safe?

I love you.

I love you.

See ya, kid.

Oh, look at them!

Shut the f*** up.

Are you gonna get in?

Come on,

let's go swimming!

Come on, get in.

Come on,

let's go swimming.

I gotta go.

Sorry, I gotta go.

But nice

to meet you guys.

It was so nice

to meet you!

- Have a good night.

- Bye!

Do you think

we're gonna get sick

because of how Mark

threw up in the pool

only about three weeks

ago?

I totally forgot

about that.

A lot of hot dogs.

Projectile-vomit hot dogs.

-15 hot dogs.

- Just whole hot dogs.

Sliding in.

It was horrible.

It was impressive.

I was - I was impressed.

Yeah, no wonder

your girlfriend

didn't want

to hang out with us.

No, but why did she go?

She has class

in the morning.

Yeah?

I mean, I have f***ing class

in the morning, too,

but she's a good student

and I'm just a fuckup.

- Yeah.

- I'm just f***ed up.

How long have you guys

been together?

6 years.

Whew!

What is that?

"Whew!"

Everyone says, "Wow,"

"whoa. "

'Cause it's really

a long time.

I know.

Wait, does that mean

that she is

the only girl you've

ever had sex with?

What?

Uh...

Well, well, well.

Wait, uh, can I ask you

a personal question?

When you've been

seeing somebody

for that many years,

is the sex still any good

or is it, like,

pretty boring?

Don't even ask me that,

please. I -

There's no way to -

just don't.

Oh, I've just been single

for so long

that I cannot even imagine

what it's like

to be with, like

in a long-term,

one-person, committed.

Just don't know.

I really can't.

You know?

Wait, I'm just gonna

speak freely here.

Just speak freely.

Okay.

The thing is that,

when -

whenever I'm dating anyone,

even if it's like

for like three months

or a month,

or even a week -

I just like, I get

so addicted to the sex.

All I can think about,

all the time.

I can't get

anything done.

I become terrible

at my job. Seriously.

And then,

when I'm single,

I just pretty much forget

that sex exists

altogether.

Really? Wow.

- I know.

- Whoa.

Oh.

I don't know why

I told you that.

Brrr!

I'm cold.

Oh, God.

F***.

I'm sorry I did that.

That's okay.

- I'm really sorry.

- That's okay.

I don't know.

I don't know.

No, it's okay.

It's okay.

- I'm so sorry.

- It's totally okay.

- F***. I'm so stupid.

- Dan.

Real smooth, you know?

F***!

It's okay.

It's not like I haven't

thought about it before.

It's fine.

Look, I like - really like you,

but I really like you

as a friend and I,

you know, I don't think -

I don't want things

to get too confusing.

Yeah, totally.

It's fine. We're fine.

We're friends, yeah?

Yeah.

Okay, I'm gonna go now.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

All right.

Mmm. Hi.

You got me breakfast?

Mm-hmm.

Wait, why didn't you

come back here last night?

I had texted you

and you didn't respond.

I didn't want

to wake you up.

Are you going

to the record label?

Mm-hmm,

but I don't think

they're gonna need me

for that long, so...

Okay.

Can we hang out when

you're done with class?

Mm-hmm.

Hey,

was that party any fun

last night after I left?

No, it was stupid.

I should've just

left with you.

Obviously.

Thanks for bringing me

breakfast.

You're so sweet.

Why are you the best?

I don't know.

Hmm.

I gotta go.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

What's going on?

Nothing.

So, you know,

how was your night?

Oh.

The lady.

What was her name?

Michelle.

Oh, it was good.

We went to dinner

and I took her

to a movie,

that whole thing,

and then, we had sex.

Nice, dude.

You got laid.

Yeah.

Yeah, I got laid.

"We had sex. "

- Was it a nice date?

- It was very nice.

You gonna call her?

Um...

Was she a babe?

Was she a smoke show?

- Stop!

- She was quite a smoke show.

Where's Becca?

I don't know. I called her.

She didn't answer.

You got pictures?

Wait, why the f*** isn't

Becca here right now?

Why - Why isn't Becca here?

Mnh-mnh-mnh.

Hold on. Shh!

F***, my phone's dead.

Can I borrow your phone?

Mm-hmm.

Where is it - oh.

It's in there?

Yes.

You got it.

Where the f*** is Dan?

What?

I think he went over there.

What's the matter?

Here's your

f***ing phone.

Uh...

Hey, Mel?

Mel?

Mel.

Mel, what's going on?

Mel. What's up?

Amanda, really?

What are you

talking about?

I can't -

Mel, what's going on?

Stop. Stop

f***ing pushing me.

F*** you. Agh!

Don't touch me!

Just don't touch me.

Mel.

Mel, why don't you

just talk to me

and tell me

what's going on?

What the f***, Dan?

You kissed her.

You kissed her.

She kissed me, okay?

And I didn't think

it was a big deal.

I should've told you.

It was a mistake,

but I just -

it was nothing.

That's why

I didn't tell you.

I said don't touch me!

Why don't you just listen to me,

okay? It was not -

What?

I didn't think

it mattered, okay?

It was just

a stupid mistake.

Then you would've told me!

You would've told me

this morning, but you're

a f***ing liar.

Because you -

you kissed her!

You kissed her!

F***.

Mel, I'm sorry.

I f***ed up, okay?

I'm sorry, but I'll

never do it again, okay?

- Did you f*** her?

- I love you.

Answer the question.

Did you f*** her?

I didn't f*** her.

Yeah, but you want to.

- Stop it! All right?

- You want to!

Stop it! F***ing stop

hitting me, all right?

Ow! F*** you!

Get off me!

Get away from the girl!

Get away from the girl!

Step away.

Get on the ground!

Get on the ground!

You, over there! Put your

hands behind your back.

I just thought we were coming

here to bust up a party.

Do you have

any weapons on you?

- Do you have any weapons on you?!

- No!

- What are you doing here, huh?

- I wasn't doing anything.

Mel, please!

You been drinkin'

tonight?

Get up!

Mel, say something!

Keep them separated.

Keep her down!

Sit down!

What the f***?!

You have the right

to remain silent.

Anything you say

can and will be

used against you

in a court of law.

Wait! No!

You can ask

for an attorney.

If you cannot afford

an attorney,

one will be provided

for you.

Do you understand these rights

as I've read them to you?

Yes. Yes.

Wait.

What are you doing?

- No, this was a mistake.

- Ma'am, please, take a seat.

I'm sorry, no.

We were just talking.

This is a big

misunderstanding.

Keep her down!

Sit down!

Shut up

and take a seat.

Ahhhh.

Can I help you?

Uh, yeah, do you know
