Then he has the nerve

to ask me to take less money.

-What did you say?

-I said okay.

-Why? Olivia.

-Because--

If this guy is so pathetic he has

to haggle, I should just do it.

I mean,

that guy's worse off than I am.

Or you are too scared

to stick to your price.

God, I don't understand how you can

clean somebody else's toilet.

I can barely touch my own.

-You don't touch your own.

-I know it.

Now, let me ask you a question.

-What's with your hair?

-What do you mean?

Well, I mean...

...is that goop or is that just dirty?

No, I guess it's dirty.

-It doesn't look good.

-lf I wash it too much, it dries it out.

I don't wanna talk anymore.

Gonna get a sample.

-Jane?

-Hey.

-Olivia, this is Maya.

-Hi, Maya. How you doing?

Your clothes are everywhere.

Seen them at Barneys.

Yeah, we're doing well.

Hey, congratulations.

-Obviously, you had your baby.

-Yeah. Yeah.

Jane, Olivia, this is Tal.

-Tal?

-Hi.

We had the hardest time

agreeing on a name.

What if he turns out short, Maya?

You know, we actually thought about

that. My husband is kind of short.

He's young. You could always

change it. He might not notice.

-Okay.

-Well, no, we like the name.

-It's not tall. It's Tal.

-Oh, it's Tal.

You know what? We have to go.

It was so nice to meet you.

Yeah, congratulations. Really.

-Oh, my God.

-That was awful.

-I can't take you anywhere. Awful.

-It was a joke.

-What are you so angry about lately?

-I'm not angry.

Oh, my God. Aren't those the saddest

looking plants you have ever seen?

You are.

I wanna know what you're mad about.

Jesus, that's the f***er

that flipped me off. A**hole.

Okay, you're not angry.

You f***ed at Chaya Venice?

We go there all the time.

-They have great sushi.

-Was it on the sink?

No, it was in the stall

up against the wall.

-Does she like this?

-She starts it.

What is that? Public places.

I don't know.

She's into getting caught.

By whom? Daddy?

Do some raises. Ten.

-I'm fixing you up with Olivia.

-No, you're not.

You need someone normal.

Olivia will f*** you in a bed.

-I have a girlfriend.

-She's married, you idiot.

And she's weird.

You'd be lucky to have Olivia.

She's great.

All right.

Hold.

What does she do?

She used to be a teacher.

I mean, she did until about a year ago.

And she taught at this really fancy

school in Santa Monica.

She taught 11 th grade.

You would not believe

the cars that these kids drove.

And she drives up

in her ancient Honda...

...and they would give her

quarters for food.

They thought it was hilarious.

She couldn't take it anymore.

It's too bad too

because she was so good with kids.

She just loves them,

and she's so patient and giving.

-How are her tits?

-Up.

Really good.

I'm marrying Richard.

I don't care what you say.

He's so wrong for you.

You don't even like the same things.

Doesn't matter.

We have amazing sex.

You know what?

I don't give a sh*t what you do.

I don't think you'd say that.

-Don't type that.

-I don't give a sh*t.

But you do. You just wrecked the car,

I made you so mad.

No, I wrecked the car

because of the lap dance.

-These people are in love.

-Says who?

-Us, at the pitch meeting.

-I don't care. I'm mad at her.

I distanced myself.

-I can't work like this.

-Like what?

-You're bullying me.

-I'm bullying you?

-We're having a discussion.

-No, we're not.

You changed your mind and you're

being stubborn. We write together.

Why is there so much noise?

Maybe because we're building

a second story.

What?

Not too many people

could wear that color.

You could get away with it.

I don't know.

Try this one on.

You can't tell sh*t if you don't try it.

-There are no dressing rooms.

-That's cool. They don't care.

Yeah. Good idea.

-Yeah.

-It looks good.

-Think I should get it?

-Yeah.

Thanks. I never would have seen it.

There's just so much stuff here.

-Pay me back with a coffee?

-A coffee?

-Have a coffee with me.

-I've gotta get back to work.

How about dinner?

I'm--

I'm married.

Oh, well. Lucky man.

No.

-Oh, hi. How are you today?

-Hi. Fine, thanks.

I'm looking for this product.

I think I saw it in a magazine.

I think they said it was for lines,

like Rsolution D-Contraxol?

-Oh, yes, our Rsolution.

-Oh, yeah, maybe. I think.

They said you were

giving out samples.

-Yeah, we are. Would you like one?

-Yeah. Sure.

Well, you use this at night.

And you'll see

that the results are amazing.

Really?

-That's great. Thank you.

-You're welcome.

Now, you know, your oily face

could really do with some Clarifiance.

-Hi. Can I help you with something?

-I think so.

I'm looking for this lotion.

I saw it in a magazine.

-I can't remember the name.

-Rsolution?

Maybe. I think so.

Anyway, they said

you were giving out samples.

Is that it?

Great. Thank you.

You know what? I was--

Could I get one for my girlfriend?

-She had asked--

-Not a chance.

-Hi.

-Hi. You're early.

I had to get away

from my stupid husband.

See? This is my girlfriend.

Give her a sample.

-Thanks.

-You're welcome.

-Is this actually for me?

-Give it to me.

I just think it's dangerous.

I mean, kids get paralyzed

falling off them.

-You put a net around it.

-I think we should just get rid of it.

I think the maid would take it.

But then her kids

would get paralyzed.

Oh, yeah. Right.

I'm worried about Richard.

He doesn't play with balls.

What do you mean?

Well, like at the park,

he has no interest in them.

Well, you know,

he probably does other things.

He's probably just playing with

the other boys that don't like balls.

Exactly.

Little gay boys.

Would it bother you if he was gay?

No, you know,

I just don't want him to have any pain.

Well, everyone has pain.

Well, then, extra gay pain.

-That's not funny.

-Oh, come on.

-No, it's not.

-Come on.

Hi, this is Olivia. I'm not home.

Leave me a message.

Honey, hi. It's Christine.

Listen, I just recommended you

to this sort of friend of mine...

...looking for someone

to clean her house.

She's very rich and very picky...

...but I think she'll pay

a lot of money.

So if Melanie Charney calls,

that's her. Bye.

And all the thoughts of the day...

...are going up, up, up

and out the top of your head.

And everything is white and calm...

...easy and sleepy.

-I love you.

-I love you too.

Here's Ralphy.

Don't turn off the light.

-I really want another kid.

-No way.

-Why not?

-I don't know, because I'm 100.

You are not 100. And I'm sure

we could get pregnant if we tried.

There's no way

we're gonna have another baby.

You can't just decide that.

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

Another hang-up?

Why do you look different?

Oh, I shaved my thing.

-My beard.

-Oh, my God.

Yeah, like three weeks ago.

Wow, you shaved your beard

three weeks ago?

God, I'm so sorry.

-For what?

-Well, for not noticing.

It's okay. I don't care.

-Well, it looks good.

-Thanks.

So Franny, who I met through Jane,

my friend Jane, she designs clothing.
