Of Your Dreams,

Much Less Get A Chance

To Marry Her.

Guests:
Aw.

Marriage These Days,

Um, Is--Is--

As Most Of You Know,

Is Not Any Easy Thing

To Get Right.

It Takes Love

And Humor And Attraction

And A Real Willingness

To Really, Really

Let Yourself

Be Seen By Someone.

I Know People Who

Have Searched Their

Whole Lives

For What We Have,

And I'M Just Glad

To Have It With You.

I Love You, Audrey.

Oh. Aw.

Same Man:

Happy Anniversary.

Oh, And Wait. Sorry.

Arched Windows,

Wood Floors.

There Might Have Been

Some Mix-Up.

The Room You Usually

Stay In Is Occupied

Right Now,

But I Can Show You

Something On

The Seventh Floor

That'S Very Similar.

All Right.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I Don'T Want To Seem

Like A Pain In The Ass

Or Anything, But...

Woman On Tv:

Take A Big Breath In

And Exhale A Big Sigh.

Women On Tv:

Time The Other Night?

I Guess. Mark Did.

I'M So Stupid.

I Think I'M Having

A Personal Crisis.

Woman On Tv:

A Little Bit Of Space Between

Your Hands And Thumb.

I Haven'T Slept

Without A Drink

Or Sleeping Pill

Since I Can

Remember.

Join The Club.

No, Really.

I Think My Marriage

Is Falling Apart.

You Don'T Think

It'S Just P.M.S.?

No. He'S Driving

Me Nuts.

All He Cares About

Is Recognition

And Going To Parties

And Winning Awards,

Instead Of Just

Doing It Because

It Makes Him Happy.

I Mean, We Used To

Laugh About That Stuff.

G.

I'M Sorry.

It'S Just So Depressin

What'S Going On

With You?

I Got Asked Out

You'Re Going Out

With A Hotel Guest.

Are You Allowed To

Date Hotel Guests?

I Don'T Know.

Do You Think That'S Creepy?

Just Don' Sleep With Him

On The First Date.

Oh, No.

That Would Be

So Available.

I Don'T Think

It'S Like That.
