Have a good night.

Thanks. Okay.

And, um, good luck.

Pfft. Whatever.

Hi, honey. Beth.

Hi. Hi.

Wow, you're really out of breath.

I'm sorry, did you f***ing run here?

From your house? Yeah-

I started running. It's really fun.

Okay, you're sopping in sweat.

Isn't that like 12 miles?

Thirteen-point-six.

But it's good because it just, like,

really gets my endorphins up.

It helps me clear my head.

The Riley account is a handful.

I have been so swamped.

Good. I'm glad you've been so busy.

Have you spoken to Jesse?

I actually ran into him,

and I thought he was looking a little fat.

Really? I feel like when I saw him,

he was looking kind of fit.

So you saw Jesse? Hmm.

Yeah. Yeah, I have. I've seen him.

And you've hung out

with what's-her-name?

Veronica? Yes, I have.

Mm-hm.

Can I get a rush delivery on that?

She's dumb, right?

No, she's not dumb. She's, um...

She's simple.

Does 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

work as a window for you?

Simple means dumb, though.

No, actually.

Simple in a really elegant way.

Elegant. Oh.

I think we're done here.

Yeah, that window is fine.

I thought you would be happy for Jesse.

Oh, no, I totally am.

I just didn't realize

that Monica was elegant.

You know her name's Veronica. And

honestly, honey, you'd really like her.

Okay, don't do that.

Are you having regrets about Jesse?

What? No. Not one.

Mm.

Will you let me drive you home?

I'm afraid you'll drown.

Okay. I actually have a date tonight.

I should probably shower, right?

Yeah, I would. Yes, shower.

Who's the date?

Rupert Bates.

Rupert Bates. The Gap model?

Mm-hm.

Oh, my God. He's so hot.

But he's like 11 years old.

He's actually 22.

Skillz set me up with him.

He's gonna be a star.

He's filming 20,000 BC right now,

which is the prequel to 10,000 BC.

Oh, f***, I love that movie.

I know.

Yay. That was so good.

I wrote it for my mom.

Lucky lady.

Why do you wanna follow your mom

to the moon?

She's the best. You'd love her.

Yeah. I bet.

So how do you know Skillz?

Skillz provides me

with the happy smoky green treats.

Awesome.

I'm sorry, but you are just...

Oh. Oh.

Hello, special one.

Mm. No. Ahem.

This is crazy, but I just totally forgot

I left a candle burning at my house.

I have to go.

No, of course.

I'm so sorry.

I'll send you a copy of the song

when it's done.

Oh. My hair is so dry. It looks like straw.

Here, do you want an Adderall?

No, that sh*t makes me feel like a robot.

Speaking of robot,

who designed this place?

I feel like Spock

is about to walk around the corner.

Hi, Riley. I'm Celeste.

I'm a partner at Pop Form.

I just wanted to introduce myself.

Wow. You're kind of pretty.

Thank you.

I'm just gonna sneak in here.

Why am I breaking out?

Too much sugar, coffee, alcohol. Oh.

Mm. I think it's my new skin regime.

Yeah.

It's, uh, "regimen."

What?

A regime is a system of government.

The word is-- The word's "regimen."

Oh. Thanks, Scrabble.

It was really nice to meet you.

In thinking about your brand, we wanted

a sense of where you currently exist.

We set up a number of focus groups.

You test really high in the Midwest,

which is wonderful.

We'll be rolling those out

to a few different cities.

Celeste has come up with a number of

ideas for logos, which are looking great.

Celeste, you wanna...?

Yes. Yes. Here.

Our first round is based heavily

on a kind of hip-hop,

retro, throwback, industrial flair.

The one I was talking

to my girl Savannah about.

Really trying to get the

urban avor in there for the tweens.

Do you guys have any snacks?

Like sushi?

Hello, special one.

Ugh.

Sounds so awful.

It was so awful.

I mean, where are the guys

who don't wear makeup for a living?

How about a little intellect?

Intellect never hurt anybody.

Wait. You never met Nick, right?

Nick?

Nick Moran.

The photographer?

No. You know him?

Yeah, we went to school together.

This could be perfect.

I'm uncomfortable with

dating, and I don't really like any of it.

Trust me, you will like him.

And also, I love cock.

You gotta work a little

harder to integrate the gayness, Scott.

Yeah.

Good night.

Night.

Great.

I'll hook that up tomorrow.

Oh! Nailed it. Way to go, Becky.

Go, team, right?

Yeah!

What the f*** is a BabyBjorn?

It's a very, very tiny Swedish man.

A child carrier that allows the baby

to benefit from intimacy

without the confinement of a stroller.

How do you know that?

Beth.

Yeah, we go to a lot of baby showers.

I put a lot of babies in the ladies.

How's Celeste?

Who?

Celeste.

She's all right.

I'm kind of fine-tuning her cannabis

levels right now, but she's okay.

She doesn't smoke weed.

She does now. She loves that sh*t.

F***ing Snoop Dogg-

Birthing towel, breast pump,

Diaper Genie? F***.

I'm seriously having a baby.

You'll do great, man.

Hey, Skillz. Who's your buddy?

I thought he was your friend.

Really?

Not with me

I don't know him.

I waited like 21 hours,

three of them soaked in my own pee.

Oh, my God.

But I finally got the shot of Gaddafi.

My God, I've totally seen this one.

You've seen it?

Yeah.

I'm such a big fan. That's so cool.

Thank you.

I feel like he's kind of smiling.

He is.

I mean, I think the piss stain running

down my jeans made him laugh.

Seriously, I was soaked.

The world will think you're brilliant.

I'll be the only one who knows.

What? Oh.

We missed our reservation for 8:30.

Oh, no.

You want me to call down,

see if they can still take us?

Should l just, like...?

You guys still take us

for like 9, 9:
15?

I don't think anybody--

Is that cool?

You can't do that?

You can.

I just don't think anybody will hear you.

You know what?

I actually would be cool--

Let's just get room service.

Room service?

Yeah.

Okay. I could do room service.

Cool.

That sounds good. I like that.

I'm so happy this worked out.

It's so nice to meet you.

Can't remember the last time

I felt like this.

Yes.

What are you doing?

What do you think I'm doing?

No, no, no. Don't do that.

Things were going so well.

Shh. I want you to watch me.

There's no watching.

I'm almost there.

Where? Don't. No. I can't--

Almost there.

Um... Ooh.

Yeah, come on. That's it.

Move.

Yeah, it's coming.

Here it comes. Here it comes.

Hey. So I'm glad we can meet up.

There's this place by me, Vegan Vittles

on Elysian Way. Call me if you get lost.

What the f*** is a vegan vittle?

Just tell her to be here tomorrow.

Hey.

Sorry, one second.

Just have to send this e-mail.

There. Hi.

Hi. What's up?

Ugh. A lot.

Can I get some coffee, please?

We have yerba mat.

Oh. Um... Green tea?

We have decaf green tea.

I'll just get some water.

Okay. Anything for you?

- I'd like the veganchilada, please.

- Sure.

- Cashew-cheese sauce on the side.

- Yeah.

I'd like to take a look

at your seaweed menu.

Yeah. There you go.

No, I'm good, thanks.

Oh. Awesome. Baltic kelp.

Yep.

Ha-ha. I'll have that. Thank you.

Wow.

You look good.
