- I'm just trying

to get to know the girl.

- The girl?

Now, you're really

putting your foot in it.

She's a woman.

- It's fine.

- Oh my god, okay.

The woman, I'm sorry.

The last time I saw

him, he was like,

"listen, man, I'm

gonna become a monk,"

so now, you're here, and

my curiosity is peaked.

- Summer, lay off.

Lay off.

- Oh my,

lay off of what?

I'm just talking to, I'm

trying to get to know her?

- What information?

- I don't know, the basics.

- Just basics.

- - She's an actress.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

- Summer used

to be an actress.

- It was another lifetime.

I was really bad.

- So.

Acting is acting.

She used to Shakespeare

and everything.

- Thank you, and you are next,

if you don't eat your food.

I'm sorry, that was sweet.

So, do you like it?

Acting?

- Uh, I don't.

Yeah, I guess.

- Yeah?

You must be really brave?

- No, I'm not brave.

- No, I think so.

- Anybody want more wine?

- No, no,

no, I'll get it.

I'll get it.

- No, no, it's fine.

- - You sure?

- Out back, on the cooler.

- Do you ever feel like a whore?

- Are you okay?

- Huh? Yeah.

- Let me

see. Let me see.

What happened?

Does it really hurt?

- I don't know.

I think there was just

some broken glass.

- Here.

- Thanks.

I'm gonna put some

pressure on it.

- No, no,

it's okay, it's okay.

- I feel like

I'm not showing you

a good time.

I really wasn't expecting

to like you this much.

You know, when we first

met, when I gave you a lift,

I thought you were a

snob, but for some reason,

I just kept thinking about you.

Then you came into the bar, and,

I was glad.

And, I think you're

really great.

I think you're soft, and,

sweet.

I feel like you really

understand me, or something.

I feel like I could want that.

You're just a really

special person, Beth.

- You pretend to

be so f***ing helpless,

but you're actually

a f***ing liar.

- What do

you want from me?

- I bet you think

you're better than me, huh?

But you're not.

- Please, please.

and you are a horrible

f***ing friend!

- Tell me what

you want from me,

and I will pay it!

I don't know what you want!

- That's right, cry.

Cry, you f***ing b*tch.

Fake f***ing crocodile tears

from your fake f***ing

Hollywood c*nt.
