What?
[]
F***ing.
Without commitment.
Without conversation.
Without conscience.
Shameless.
Faceless.
Soulless.
Loveless.
Here...
is f***ing.
Anything you want.
What do you think
of that, Samir?
[GASPS]
[BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY]
There he is.
There's Kenny.
Oh, let's go and say hi...
Um... Let him come to us.
It's better.
Okay. He's coming.
Does he look like
a man bearing good news?
He's beaming.
'Cause he spotted
a hot French babe.
A hot French babe
who still needs
two crowns
and another root canal.
Ken Yates, American theater's
most eligible bachelor.
Ha, ha, that's
a dubious distinction.
Bonsoir, Sandrine.
You look fantastic.
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]

[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
What do you know? The good
doctor speaks the French.
With a perfect accent,
I might add.
- I grew up with a French nanny.
- That fires the imagination.
Stop it.
Look, Adam, I bring bad news.
I presented your idea
of reviving Pipedream
to the group,
but it didn't take.
They're intent on getting
behind a new play.
Thanks for running it up
the flagpole.
Fear not, Ken.
You know me.
I'm always hard at work
on the next thing.
when you're ready.
Splendid.
- I'll see you both this weekend?
- Um...
At my benefit
for the Lincoln Center?
- Wouldn't miss it.
- Better not.
- How are you feeling?
- Much better, thank you.
- Great.
- Thanks.
WALTER:
What have youbeen up to, Weller?
Still dusting off your
old chestnuts for a revival?
God knows you haven't
done much lately.
Well, I've been busy
writing a one-man play
based on your
brilliant career, Walter,
but I'm stuck on act one.
- Oh.
- [PHONE RINGING]
- Ooh!
- Oof.
Someone get Walter a refill.
He seems to have lost
his bark.
Sorry, babe.
It's Eleanor again.
Let me just see what she wants.
Yes, Ellie, what's up?
ELEANOR:
I'm afraid Ihave some bad news.
Okay. What? What is it?
ELEANOR:
Ruth passed away last night.
That's impossible.
I saw her a few weeks ago.
- She seemed fine.
- ELEANOR:
Well, it seemsher cancer returned
several months ago,
and she never told anyone.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe it.
I can't believe
she's gone.
ELEANOR:
She's gone. She's gone.
So I guess
there'll be a service.
ELEANOR:
I suppose you'll speak.I suppose you'll be the star.
Really, Eleanor?
Is that necessary?
ELEANOR:
No, it's not. I...
- Forget it.
- ELEANOR:
I apologize.Okay, well, thanks for the call.
I need to hang up now.

ADAM:
I spent a lovely afternoonwith Ruth just a few weeks ago,
and she spoke with such pride of
her children, Shelly and Ethan.
And her fierce dedication
to her beloved Vincent
is a lamp she kept
trimmed and burning.
We are all richer
with someone so imbued
with the sum
and substance of love.
Ruthie,
we miss you already.
This isn't the best time,
but I've gotta tell you.
I have some
disappointing news.
London isn't gonna happen.
Don't say it.
They cancelled Pipedream.
There's been a shake-up
at the company.
It seems like
they wanna move in
a new direction,
or something like that.
I'm sorry.
Bravo, Weller.
into the room.
I only wish
I could've done more.
What more could you have done?
She had cancer.
Well, I could've
been a better friend.
We do what we can do.
I suppose so.
So you're looking very well.
How are things?
Anything new and exciting?
No. Nothing new
or exciting.
- Heh, heh.
- And you?
How's the writing going?
Well, same old grind.
Just trying
to stay optimistic
in this depraved cultural
moment we're living in.
Well, I'm sure things
will work out for you.
Maybe, maybe not.
I fully embrace
the randomness of the universe.
Well, enjoy your food.
Yeah.
Shelly, how you holding up?
I can't believe it.
I thought she'd be here
to take care of me forever.
- [CRYING]
- Aw. There, there. It's okay.
No, no, no.
We're all hurting.
I should show you the things
that Mom wanted you to have.
Sure, yeah.
SHELLY:
Everything hethought was worth keeping.
I never read
any of his work.
His writing was
always over my head.
No. Don't be
so hard on yourself.
You were a terrific daughter.
They were both
very proud of you.
Thank you.
[]
And don't worry
about the trunk.
I'll go talk to
SHELLY:
You're a lifesaver.
I am a mess.
- I should get back.
- ADAM:
Of course.Stay strong, Shelly.
This too shall pass.
Excuse me.
I'm gonna have to say goodbye.
- Bye.
- Take care.
[]
My goodness, Adam,
what's going on?
I've been calling for hours.
Oh, sh*t. I...
I must have left my ringer off.
You're not ready? We're supposed
to be there in 15 minutes.
- Be where?
- Ken's benefit.
- What? Who?
- Ken Yates.
Dr. Yates,
Lincoln Center.
Oh, Christ! Heh, heh,
was that tonight?
Are you okay, Adam?
You're acting very peculiar.
- Have you been drinking?
- No. No, no, no.
Nothing like that.
I'm really on to something.
This is the best thing
I have written in years.
I... I gotta keep going.
Oh, Adam, we said we'd go.
We have to go.
I'm all dressed up.
And you look fantastic.
- You should go. Yeah.
- Alone? I don't know anyone.
Come on, you know Ken.
Listen, baby, I need you to go.
Tell him I did it,
I cracked it.
It's the play
he's been waiting for.
Adam, that's awkward.
Tell him in French.
He'll be charmed.
He's charmed by you.
Oh, yeah.
You see the way
he looks at you.
What are you
talking about?
- No.
- Get him excited.
Get him excited about the play.
I need you to do this.
- Okay. I'll go.
- I need you to do this.
Thank you. Go.
But this better be good.
Or I'm sending you to Toulouse
by yourself.
and your cousins from Avignon.
My cousins are
from Montpellier.
Tell them to move to Avignon,
it's easier for me to say.
Ha, ha, funny.

[MAUD & SAM BREATHING HEAVILY]
MAUD:
I know something thatyou don't want me to know.
You wake up rock hard
thinking about me.
sucking your cock.
I'm your home, Samir.
Look at me.
I'm your home.
[BOTH PANTING]
"I wouldn't mind if
it never appeared.
The night is astounding
just as it is."
We did good, Vincent.
[EASY-LISTENING MUSIC PLAYING]
Where did you get it from?
Huh?
The idea behind
your dissertation.
And why is it
so important to you?
Um...
"Out of the crooked timber
of humanity
no straight thing
was ever made."
- What?
- That's a Kant quote.
I'm... I'm interested in finding
out why we are the way we are.
That's a good quality.
Yeah.
You're ruining my practice.
at my watch.
You got 10 minutes
till your next patient.
ELEANOR:
Then we better get busy.
No foreplay?
No afterglow?
You're the boss. Oh!
