What do you want?

What do you want?

Just tell me.

-I want out.

-OK.

-Not out of this

marriage, Jeff.

I want out of this head!

I want out of this life.

-I get it.

It's fine.

Your wish is granted.

I am leaving.

[crying]

-Come here.

Come on.

Come here.

Come here.

[crying]

-Hey.

-Hey.

-So, I'm glad I saw you, I

really wanted to reach out,

but I also just wanted to

give you your space.

Also, tell you I'm so sorry.

-You know what, Rachel, I

haven't really been living in

Silver Lake that many years, but

where I come from in the

Palisades woman have

each other's backs.

-I think that's why I thought

that I could help her.

-OK, Rach, but you had

to know better.

Um, I meant to email you about

your room at Big Bear, for

your family.

I'm giving it to Amanda's family

because, you know, it's

gonna be awkward for the boy's

this time at the lake without

their dad, so just kind of have

to be really strong for

them, and I can't really do

that if you're there, so.

-Amanda.

Hey.

-Hi.

-I know I got really drunk the

other night and I know I said

some pretty awful things.

I didn't mean to call you--

-Kosher Amanda.

I'm actually not kosher.

-Oh, I think I just assumed.

-Sam keeps kosher, but

I love to cook.

I love to cook.

And there are so many things to

cook that are not kosher.

-But I do light the candles

on Friday nights.

I don't know why that gives me

such a bad rap around here.

Anyway.

So, I'll see you.

-I'm sorry.

You've reached Jeff.

Leave me a message.

[beep]

-I miss you so much.

Please come home.

-Did that feel better?

To be a pariah?

-I never felt like I fit in

with those moms anyway.

I mean, they don't work.

-You don't work either.

-I used to want to be

a war reporter.

-I remember.

-You do?

I said that, didn't I?

-Yes, you said it.

-Jeff acts like he

doesn't remember.

-Well, if you need evidence,

I take copious notes.

Sure it's in here.

-Jeff has been sleeping in Bo

and Stephanie's garage.

-Are you afraid he's

going to leave you?

-Yes.

-May I share something?

Portia and I broke up.

And I know this is

inappropriate.

-You know how you can be living

with someone and take

them for granted?

I did that with her.

The moment I met her, I said to

her, I want to be looking

at your eyes when I die.

-That is a lot for

a first date.

-That was the truth.

I didn't know what I

had when I had it.

I don't wanna start all over.

[sobbing]

-I don't wanna start all over.

[phone ringing]

JEFF (VOICEMAIL): Uh, hey.

You've reached Jeff.

[knocking]

-Jeff.

Je--

Hi.

Nice digs.

I'm sorry I threw a bomb in

the middle of our life.

Our beautiful life.

Does Bo have any weed?

Oh my god.

-Hey, Rach.

Um, in my head, I kinda put this

all on you, but I think I

was asleep, so I'm sorry.

-What day is it?

-Friday.

-Oh, we should light candles.

[singing in hebrew]

-What are you saying?

You have no idea what you're

saying, do you?

-You're supposed to

cover your eyes.

That I know.

-Both of us?

-Mhmm.

-OK.

Eyes are covered.

-It's for you.

I put that together.

Do you wanna know how

long that took?

-No.

-Long time.

All right, Mr. Giraffe.

Have a safe trip.

Don't be too scared.

RACHEL (OFFSCREEN): Send

us a post card!

[MUSIC PLAYING - DIRTY

"IMPREGNABLE QUESTION"]

STEPHANIE (OFFSCREEN): I can't

believe he didn't talk to her.

That's crazy.

RACHEL (OFFSCREEN): There

was nothing to say.

-How'd she look?

-She looked good.

-Yeah?

-She looked, well, the same.

She seems happy.

-Well, that's good.

Good.

Still dancing, huh?

-Still hoofing it.

JEFF (OVER PHONE): Hey.

-Hi.

JEFF (OVER PHONE):

What's going on?

-What are you up to?

You wanna meet me at home?

JEFF (OVER PHONE): Uh, yes.

-I'll see you in like

seven minutes.

JEFF (OVER PHONE):

See you soon.

-We should put Bonnet out.

-Nah, let's let him stay.

Bonnet, this is how

humans do sex.

[MUSIC PLAYING - DIRTY

JEFF (OVER PHONE): Faster.

-Look in my eyes.

Look at me.

I'm here.
