and you and l

have only just. . .

And you used a condom.

(LAUGHS)

l didn't wanna tell you.

l mean, it's weird.

l've been pregnant

this whole time.

Uh-huh.

l made

an appointment for a D&C.

l'm really sensitive to pain,

so l asked for anesthesia.

Sorry,

l'm trying to get drunk now.

l can't eat after 1 0:00.

l'll take you to it.

How's that gonna work?

Am l gonna drive

you to take me?

(ROCK AND ROLL MUSlC BLARlNG)

Can you turn it down?

l'm sorry.

(TURNS MUSlC DOWN)

My head is killing me.

No, it's fine.

Don't worry.

lt's your day, or. . .

You know what l mean.

We'll be here

when you get out.

Okay. Thanks.

ROGER:
Don't be nervous.

l just don't know what

l'm doing with my life.

You're of value.

l know that.

You don't have to say that.

We could get

her some flowers.

l thought since she

couldn't eat, she might

be hungry when it's over.

Here.

Well, when you're ready.

Thanks.

Could we go?

They apparently

won't let us go

until you pee.

Oh.

l don't have to.

Maybe when you

get to the bathroom,

you'll feel like it.

l need to lie here

for a little longer.

But you'll probably

be more comfortable

lying at home.

Let her sleep, man.

You like me so much more

than you think you do.

Okay.

Wish it wasn't too late

to get my medical degree.

lt's not too late.

l'd be over 50 by

the time l graduated.

What is it?

Four years, right?

Yeah, but l know myself.

l'd procrastinate,

take time off.

Eight years at best.

Who's gonna hire a 49. . .

Let's just call it 50.

A 50-year-old vet?

l'm confused.

Are you going to vet school

or regular medical school?

(SlGHS)

Neither, clearly.

l have to get back

for Mahler's pills.

lt's a stupid rule.

l mean, what does peeing

have to do with anything?

Fabula makes this

rice dish with pineapples

and raisins.

lt's really delicious.

l think you'll

find lots of girls

who'll be able

to make that dish.

No, no, no. This is

a Brazilian specialty.

Still.

Are you guys

Florence's friends?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay. She's sleeping

and she wants to

stay the night.

Did she pee?

ROGER:
You wanna come in,

watch a video?

lVAN:
No,

l should get going.

Where?

l think l'll go back to

the motel, take a nap.

Didn't sleep too

well last night.

l'm leaving in,

like, a week.

We'll hang out some more,

don't worry.

You're sure it's okay l left?

She might wake

up and be scared.

She'll be fine.

The nurse seemed nice.

l had to

get back for Mahler.

l understand.

No, l know. l'm not

explaining myself to you.

l'm just saying.

You're just saying, right?

Come on, one drink.

No, l really gotta go.

Okay.

l appreciate your friendship.

Can l ask,

what do people say about me?

Like, negative

things l wouldn't know.

Let me go, man.

Come on,

l'm sure people must trash me

when l'm not around.

They don't trash you.

Okay, what criticisms

do they have?

(SlGHS) l don't know.

l'd say the biggest

criticism they have is that

you have trouble

making fun of yourself.

Really?

That's incredible.

l'm the funniest person

l know.

Well, not about yourself.

Really?

That's what people say.

l wouldn't get too

worried about it.

These things

aren't difficult to fix.

Right.

People say they think

you lie about things

you don't need to lie about,

that you don't

make any effort,

that you're

a bit of a prince.

Who says?

Who are these people?

That's just totally insane.

l'm just telling

you what l've heard.

lf anything

l'd say l'm too honest,

don't you think?

Yeah.

l mean,

l'm pretty upfront with. . .

No effort?

Mmm-hmm.

l'm making

my brother's family

a doghouse.

You know,

l brought my tool

kit out from New York.

They had to check my

bag because of that.

l always do carry-on.

l have calluses.

Does Beller say this?

l think Beller said it, yeah.

And others, too.

Johno, maybe once, and Anna.

That's funny.

Yeah.

Completely wrong,

but funny.

All right.

(GlRL LAUGHlNG)

(GlRLS CHATTERlNG)

Hello?

ROGER:
Sara?

There's the strange man

who's been

sleeping in my room.

Oh, this is Muriel.

Hey.

l heard you killed our dog.

No. No, no,

he's all better.

We brought him

back yesterday.

Well, where is he?

Mahler!

Mahler? Mahler!

We leave for Australia

tomorrow morning.

lsn't that like

a 20-hour flight?

No, it's 1 4.

So that's,

like, seven movies.

Yeah.

lVAN:
Hello?

Party of 20-year-olds

has suddenly happened

at my house.

Hey, man.

How was your nap?

Yeah, it was fine.

Where are you?

l'm having dinner

with my family.

Your parents?

No.

My other family.

Fabula.

Mmm-hmm.

Do you want me to

come over there?

No! lt's okay.

Just don't do anything.

l'm not sure

l know what you mean.

You should come here after.

l really gotta go.

Okay. Call you later.

(HlP HOP MUSlC

PLAYlNG ON STEREO)

Hey! He just got

out of the hospital.

l'm sorry.

You know,

don't give him beer.

l'm so sorry.

He's got

an autoimmune disorder,

all right? Mahler.

l didn't know.

ROGER:
Mahler.

Mahler.

(lNDlSTlNCT CHATTERlNG)

Hey, man,

you got a cool place.

Oh, thanks.

lt's not totally mine,

but. . .

Yeah, what do you do?

Oh, l'm kind of doing

nothing for a while.

ROGER:
ls that coke?

Yup.

l'd heard coke was in again.

Yeah, you want some?

Um. . .

l'm Rich.

Roger Greenberg.

ls it okay to mix

coke and Zoloft?

Yeah, totally.

l haven't done this in,

like, 1 5 years.

Since college, or since

a couple of years out.

lt's very unlike me.

l actually hate coke.

l hate it politically

and l hate how

it makes me feel.

But when it's done,

l may have to

kill one of you out

of sheer frustration.

l'm gonna change the record.

We need better coke music.

Oh, yeah.

Put on some Korn.

l got the perfect thing.

lVAN:
Hello?

Hey, man.

Hey, man.

l just did a line.

l think the last time

l did coke was with you.

lt was just a line,

but l feel really wired.

l guess my tolerance is less.

Okay.

Hey, you done with dinner?

No, we're still eating.

GlRL:
Put on AC/DC!

You sure you

don't want me there?

Yeah.

l've gotta go, man.

l almost feel like l can

get in a car and drive.

(ElGHTlES POP PLAYlNG)

Don't do that.

You gotta come

here when you're done.

JERRY:
Oh, dude! Come on !

F*** off, Jerry!

Tonight's not good, man.

Man, you gotta come!

l can't believe

you lied to me

about your dinner.

GlRL:
Put on AC/DC!

lt's actually

a pretty fun party.

Man, I can't!

All right. l got to go.

GlRL:
We wanna

hear AC/DC!

Don't, okay?

Come on ! Duran Duran's

great coke music.

Give it a chance.

Let's maybe not

keep saying coke

in every sentence.

l read an article.

Aren't you guys all just

f***ing on the lnternet?

BOY:
Not all of us.

But some?

l guess some.

Yeah,

l think Paige has a site,

but it's more art than porn.

They shot a skin

flick on my campus,

a couple guys

and some townies,

and they acted in it.

Sick.

Hey, can't we put on

some Korn?

No, we can't put on

f***ing Korn. Jesus!

You guys smoke crack

at all?
