So, how long have

you been married?

- Uh, six months.

But we've been together

for, like, six years.

- Oh, so the honeymoon's

already over.

- Not really.

- She must be a pretty

cool woman if she lets you

come down here all by

yourself to do writing.

- Yeah, she's really

supportive of my career.

I'm a pretty lucky guy.

- I'm gonna go for a swim.

- I'll be right there.

That was the best Cuban

sandwich I've ever had.

- I told you.

- So, what's the deal

with mystery dude?

The guy you're living with.

You guys dating or what?

- Tomas?

No, I wouldn't call it dating.

- Tomas.

What would you call it?

- He's nice.

We have fun.

I kinda wanna end up with

somebody closer to my own age.

- Why?

How old is he?

- I don't know,

like, 52 I think.

- 52?

- He just got recently

divorced as well.

You know, his wife got

the house and kids,

he got the beach property.

- And you.

- Sure.

But whatever, he's always out

of town anyway for work, so.

- You get the place to yourself.

- Yeah.

- That's a pretty sweet deal.

- I like it.

- So, how long you

been workin' here?

- Not long, like, a year.

I used to dance.

- Oh.

- Not like that.

No, like, music videos

for local artists.

I got to do a cruise.

It was fun.

But with my knees, you know,

getting old, so I had to stop.

But whatever, I'm making

my own jewelry now.

- You made these?

- Yeah.

- It's cool.

- Thanks.

What time is it?

I should probably

get ready for work.

Do you wanna stop by later?

Have a drink?

- Sure.

- Cool.

You can finish my

sandwich if you want.

- I will.

I'm not changing the plans.

I met a girl who

works at the bar

who asked me to come

by for one drink.

Can we do one drink?

- Okay, one drink.

That's it.

- Thank you.

That's all I ask.

- I think I've worked

enough with some of

the biggest directors

and I'm still not

a household name, so...

I'm a little

frustrated about that.

So say goodnight

to the park guy.

That's the last time

you gonna see a park guy

like this, let me tell ya.

- Do more.

More, more, more, more.

- Let me tell you something!

- All right.

That's it.

- Hey, it's Diego.

Please leave a message.

- Did you reach him yet?

- No, he's probably

out with Dave.

- So, anyway...

- So, do you wanna

go check out some

really cool artwork?

- I would love to.

- It's caused a

lot of headaches,

but I wouldn't change a thing.

Buying a house was the

best decision we ever made.

- No, I'm really

happy for you guys.

Hey, one second,

I'll be right back.

- All right.

- Hey, mister anti-social.

What are you doin'?

- Just gettin' some fresh air.

- Why don't you let me take

you around the city tomorrow?

Could show you around.

There's a lot more to Miami

than just south beach.

- I don't play bingo.

- Seriously, come on.

Aren't you a writer?

Where's your sense of adventure?

Do I need to ask your

wife for permission?

- No.

Let's go.

Where are we goin'?

- It's a surprise.

But I promise I'll

show you a great time.

- Okay.

- Hey, tiger.

- Hi.

Did I wake you?

- No, I was just getting

some writing done.

- Oh, good.

How was last night?

I tried calling you.

- I called you back.

I left you a message,

you didn't get it?

- Yeah, sorry.

Actually we were at Vaughan,

but I don't have

reception in the basement.

- Oh, that's all right.

Did you have a good time?

- Yeah, but I'm bored now.

So, listen, I was thinking

to change my flight.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah.

The office is so dead right now.

Kelly's in Paris,

Olivia's on maternity,

and everyone else

is in the Hamptons.

- Sounds like a great idea.

- Yeah, so I'm thinking

I might come tomorrow.

You don't mind, do you?

- No, of course not.

I miss having you asleep

by my side while I write.

- Okay, I promise I won't

disturb you during the day.

I'll hang out with Carol.

- It's okay, really.

- Okay great, then

I'll change my ticket.

Yay! I'm so excited!

- Me, too.

- Okay, I'll

talk to you later, bear.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Hey.

- Hey, are we

still on for tonight?

- I was actually

just gonna call you.

- Uh-oh, you better

not be canceling on me.

- I appreciate the

invite, but, uh...

Mariana's coming

into town tomorrow

and I have a lot of work to do.

- Are you seriously

gonna blow me off?

I got my shift covered

and everything.

- I don't...

- just...

Come out for one drink.

- One drink.

One drink? I can do one drink.

- Okay, cool.

I'll pick you up at nine.

- I'll see ya at nine.

- So, where are we going?

- Just relax.

It's right over here.

Hi.

- Vanessa.

- How you doin'?

- Two Tequila shots.

Hi!

- Hi!

- Cheers.

You'll see, it's

gonna be awesome.

I'm sorry.

- Shh.

- Shh.

- You have to shh.

There's people living here.

- We've got neighbors.

- Oh, it's so nice in here.

- Do you mind?

- Not at all.

Mm.

- Much better.

I'm so sad.

- Why are you sad?

- I've been having so much fun

with you the past few days.

Don't want it to end.

- Why does it have to end.

Because Mariana's coming?

We could all hang out.

- I'm just really

glad I met you.

- I'm really glad

I met you, too.

I can't do this.

- You want to?

- Hmm.

Of course I want to.

- So...

- Hold on.

No.

- Maybe you should go.

- Hey.

- I missed you.

- I missed you, too.

Thank you.

- How was the flight?

- Good.

- I'm happy you're here.

- Me, too.

Aye!

So pretty.

- Right?

- Yeah.

- Come here.

Say hello to my little friend.

- Huh?

I ordered a king bed.

- It's okay.

- Yeah.

Ah, look at the view.

We should go for a walk.

- It's a little hot for that.

- Later.

Like, for dinner maybe?

- Okay.

- Hey, you know

what I was thinking?

Maybe we could start, you know,

doing it without anything.

- Yeah?

You sure?

- Yeah.

What do you think?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- I think I'm just tired.

- It's okay, baby.

We have plenty of

time for that later.

I'm gonna get my

bathing suit on, okay?

- Okay.

- Hey, we should invite

some friends over tonight.

I wanna see Carol.

- Okay.

All set.

- Thank you.

This is so amazing.

Couldn't you just see

us here in a big house

with kids running around in

the backyard, playing tennis?

Hm?

- I like the tennis part.

What kind of skirt

would you wear?

- I'm serious.

- I am, too.

Ow!

Tiger.

Bad girl.

I think I'm gonna quit my job

when we go back to New York.

- Baby, we've had this conversation,

like, a million times.

You don't like anything

else besides writing

and, I mean, this

job finally gives you

that opportunity of writing

in your spare time, so...

What are you gonna do?

Go back and wait tables?

- No.

Guess you're right.

- Hey, you wanna

go in the water?

Yeah?

Let's go.

Oh!

Oh my god!

Let's get MOJITOS!

- I thought we were

gonna go to dinner.

- I know, but it's

still early, so we can...

- we'll get a drink

at the restaurant.

- But then it's not

gonna be happy hour.

Just one, I just got here.

Hi.

Can I have a mojito, please?

What do you want?

- Mojito is fine.
