- Hey, b*tches!

- Benji! You're crazy!

- [French Film On TV]

- [Door Shuts]

- [Lev] Want to see my room?

- [Woman] Sure.

- Hey, guys, this is Lindsay.

- Hi.

I wish we had cookies.

I wish we had Chessmen.

[Dramatic:
]

- Good show tonight.

- You too.

- You were beautiful tonight.

- Thank you.

- Hey.

- Hi. Sorry.

I'm so slow.

I have trouble leaving places.

You were great tonight.

Thanks.

Frances,

I wanted to tell you...

so you would have

some days to process it:

We won't be able to use you

in the Christmas show.

I'm really sorry.

What?

- I'm really sorry. You know what

bad shape the company's in. - I know.

We can talk about next steps

when we're back in February.

- Am I fired?

- No.

I just- I like you...

and I want to talk about the future

and make sure it's what you want.

- I want to be in the company.

- I know.

Take your time.

I will.

I can't help it.

Oh, my love!

I'm so glad you're here!

You were great.

Really great.

- Could you see me? - We were in the risers,

so we could see to the back.

- Who?

- Sorry. Had to take a leak.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Shall we all go out

for a quick drink?

"A quick drink"?

- Yeah, we have to get up early tomorrow.

- Tomorrow's Saturday.

We have to catch a flight. We're

meeting my parents in the Galapagos.

I haven't packed yet.

You know me.

- Last-minute Mabel.

- Ronald Rule-follower.

[Imitating Choking]

[Electronica]

I want us to be family,

you know?

I can be part of your family,

don't you think?

Patch, I love you -

I want to love you -

but I need you to get drunk.

- [Woman] How are we doing?

- Really good.

We'll get a bottle of your most

expensive vodka for the table...

and then all of the stuff

that comes with it.

Very good.

- Sophie.

- Yes?

- Come with me.

- Where? - Bathroom.

Really?

We're still doing this?

Patch, you got this,

money-wise?

Yep.

I was lying.

I don't love Patch.

- I do love him.

- Since when? When did this happen?

- It's been happening.

- That's f***ing bullshit. Come on!

No, you're bullshit. And you're

making me feel really bad right now.

- I want to love him if you love

him, but you don't love him. - I do.

Sophie, I f***ing held your head

while you cried.

I bought special milk for you.

I know where you hide your pills.

Don't treat me like

a three-hour-brunch friend!

I'm not talking to you

while you're like this.

- We have to go.

- [Frances] I'm going.

- We can stay if you want.

- Come on, get your stuff.

I'm going.

You f***ing sit down!

Enjoy the Galapagos.

I'm also going on vacation.

A long one.

I'll set up my e-mail

so it sends out a vacation e-mail.

My voice mail will also say

I'm on vacation...

so if you get that, don't worry -

I'm on vacation.

I'll try to give you a call

when I get back. Thanks, guys.

This was great.

- You're cleaning?

- I'm not messy. I'm busy.

I don't make the bed.

Sophie always made the bed.

I'm so happy you're home.

I had such a shitty night.

Tsk. Oh, sorry, kid.

I had a great night. I cracked the

second act of my script. I'm on page 68.

Oh, that's exciting.

Is it for SNL?

No, this is a sample script

I'm writing for the third Gremlins.

- Boy trouble tonight?

- Sophie trouble.

- Undateable.

- And I kind of-

I - I-I got temporarily fired.

I've been fired a million times.

Makes you cool.

Yeah, but if I don't have

the Christmas show...

I can't... pay rent.

Do you have any tunes?

Wait right there.

It's a jammer.

- It's great.

- I know.

- I love it. Put it on my mix.

- Aren't these headphones tits?

I just got 'em. They're super-duper

noise-canceling...

so I don't have

to hear Lev f***.

[Mock Chuckle]

- Oh, no.

- All right.

Lev and I were talking about getting

a maid to come once a week.

- A maid?

- Yeah, it's not that expensive.

It's like 400 bucks a month.

Do you know

I'm actually poor?

You aren't poor.

There are poor people.

You aren't one of them.

You'd feel poor if you had

as little money as I do.

But you're not poor.

That's offensive to actual poor people.

Yeah, I guess that's true.

You want -

- You want to hear something hilarious?

- Yes.

Lev thinks we're gonna

end up married.

I'm too tall to marry.

You are.

That's so funny.

Why does he think that?

Well, I did want to sleep with you

when I first met you.

But now - totally undateable.

I guess we are like a married couple

in a way. We talk. We don't have sex.

Yeah, we get along super well.

Sophie and I were like that too.

Right, but Sophie's a girl...

and you're both straight,

so it had less, like...

real-world probability.

Right. Well -

Okay. I'm done.

I hope I don't have the spins

when I lie down.

Just lay on your back

by the edge of the bed...

and put one foot on the floor.

It helps.

Good night, then.

Good night.

- Good luck with Gremlins.

- Three.

Open? Shut?

Shut, I guess.

- I don't know. Does it matter?

- I'll leave it open...

so if you need to throw up or cry

or something, you can call me.

Thanks, yeah. Open.

[Woman Over P.A.] Welcome

to Sacramento International Airport...

gate way to Northern California.

- Hi!

- Hi, honey. So glad you're home.

- Good to see you.

- Hi, Rosie!

[Horn Playing

"Joy To The World"]

- People are lamenting being 28, Chris?

- I know. I can't handle it.

[All Chattering, indistinct]

Bacon.

Bacon like it was chips.

I'll send it. I didn't want

to load you down with photos.

- I like this picture.

- I'll send it to you.

[Squealing]

[Laughing]

I love - I love that trumpet!

[No Audible Dialogue]

Integrity and acceptance.

[All]

Integrity and acceptance.

We seek spiritual growth.

- [Man] Intellectual stimulation.

- Intellectual stimulation.

[All]

I'm gonna let it shine

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine

It's kind of far away from her.

There aren't any trains.

What about subways?

Look, look.

These - These look good.

- Okay.

- Look at those legs.

Does that hurt?

- Nope, you're numb. Won't feel a thing.

- Will it hurt when I'm not numb?

[Indistinct Conversation]

- [Knock At Door]

- [Mother] Frances?

I'm in here.

Come on, honey.

I really, really need to get in there.

- I'll be out in a second.

- Frances, how much longer?

- Are these new cutting boards?

- Mm-hmm.

As soon as I found red ones,

there I was.

- We have to make -

- [Both] More tamales.

- I can't believe Mom gave our tamales away.

- Well, Mom, you know -

- What's this one? Did I make this?

- You made that.

Oh, here's the green ballerina.

This is the one.

- The green ballerina? - You were the

green girls, Chandra and her mother.

Right. Yeah, that was our level.

We were level green.

- Bye. I love you.

- Bye, honey.

- It was a great trip.

- Yeah, I'll call you...

as soon as I'm back

in New York. Bye.

Bye.

- Ahoy, sexy!

- Oh, hey.

Stop thanking me.

It just means a lot,
