Happy 40th Page #3

I don't know, what are you asking me?

You want them to stay longer?

[Sophia] No, no.

Is it hard, is it...

Is it hard for you to

be in the house so much?

[Ben] You're asking me?

Not as hard as not having

sex with you anymore.

What, you wanna talk about me not

being able to go out all the time,

but you don't wanna deal with

not having sex for two years?

Why are you bringing this up right now?

I don't know, why can't

I bring this up right now?

[Sophia] (whispers) It seems like a

discussion we should

have when we're alone.

We're always alone and you

never wanna talk about it.

I thought maybe you'd wanna talk

about it now with your girlfriends around

'cause then you could talk to them later.

I don't know what to say, Ben.

[Ben] Say why you

won't have sex with me.

I mean...

What am I supposed to do with that?

Do you want me around so I

can take care of everything?

Because I will, I will always

take care of everything.

I wanna know why you don't touch me.

If you don't love me anymore,

I can deal with that.

But I think I should know.

Of course I love you.

I'm sorry, I'm just not myself yet.

(sobbing)

[Ben] Okay, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

(laughs) It's your birthday.

I'm gonna go make sure everything's ready.

(sobbing)

[Sasha] We should've

gotten a smoke machine.

Oh yeah, for a super

dramatic entrance for her.

[Sasha] Exactly.

I wish we got one of

those karaoke things so

that we could do battle

rounds like on The Voice.

That's such a good idea,

why aren't we doing that?

Because that show's ridiculous.

Thank you, and yet

you obviously watch it.

Sophia watches it.

Okay, you don't have to be embarrassed,

we all love The Voice, I love it so much.

[Ana] Honestly, oh my God, I don't have

time to watch that, but

even if I did, mmm-mmm.

[Sasha] What?!

That is the best show!

Seriously.

It's the best show ever.

Snazzy!

[Ana] Nice of you to join us.

Isn't The Voice the best show ever?

Oh it's the f***ing best.

[Sasha] I agree!

Yeah, and if I like

someone's song I watch it

- over and over.

- Over and over.

[Ana] Okay, you guys are truly insane.

Anyone want a beer?

[Sasha] Me!

[Kat] Don't tell me you don't watch it.

I don't watch that, I don't have time.

If you did, you would though.

[Ana] No I wouldn't.

I can't believe you're

telling me that you...

Have never watched my show once,

and yet you watch The

Voice over and over again.

I have watched your show.

That was the pilot,

the very first episode,

the show's been on for four years, Kat.

Well do you guys sing?

(laughing)

[Sophia] Can I come out now?

Hold on!

Okay!

[Group] Happy birthday!

(cheering)

It looks beautiful, I love it!

That's for you.

Thank you.

[Ben] Cheers.

[Group] Cheers, cheers!

(cheering)

All right, presents or,

wait a minute everybody.

You got that crazy look in your eye.

Like you got to get down.

We're gonna dance.

You need to dance.

(laughing)

(upbeat dance music)

Remember you can see a

blackbird a thousand ways

You can be a soldier,

you can be the snow

Under the boots of an

army with miles to go

And you can be white horses on that hill

You can be white horses,

you can carry Heaven until

Yesterday happened

just exactly as it did

You can't go back and undo it

You're not a knot, you're not a dead end

Don't ever forget

You are a body of work,

you are a body of work

You are a body of work, edit it

You are electric, you are electric

You are electric, so sing it

You are a body of work,

you are a body of work

You are a body of work, edit it

You are electric, you are electric

You are electric

Freedom is what you do with what

With what's been done to you

Freedom is what you do with what

With what's been done to you

Freedom is what you do with what

With what's been done to you

Freedom is what you do with what

With what's been done to you

You want more?

[Ana] Oh God, I quit.

It's all for you.

A one woman show.

It is quite amazing what you can do.

When I drink, I can't help myself.

Your legs just go up.

They do!

(laughing)

All right Sophia, you gotta open gifts.

[Sophia] You guys, you

didn't have to get me anything.

[Kat] I didn't.

- (laughing)

- [Sophia] Good, good.

[Ana] All right, open mine first.

I can't take these.

- (laughing)

- [Ana] Yes you can.

You sent me so much stuff already.

Oh come on, it's your 40th.

Aren't they gorgeous?

[Sophia] Yes!

Oh my gosh!

[Ana] Oh you're so welcome.

And you should really thank the show.

Where are you gonna wear those?

They're daily wear diamonds.

She can wear them every day.

Open mine!

(laughing)

[Ana] All right, loud talker.

(laughing)

This is beautiful.

Gosh, thank you so much, it's so soft.

[Sasha] Yay!

I love it, I love it!

(laughing)

How's it look?

[Sasha] Happy birthday!

[Ana] Because everyone wants the

world to know that they're 40.

(laughing)

I'll just wear it for 10 years.

[Sasha] Yeah, right, yeah.

Oh that's not good, that's not good.

Oh sh*t!

You have something on your nose.

Oh my God!

(laughing)

That didn't work at all, hold on.

Give me one more shot!

Wait...

There we are.

Okay.

Let's go, I'll do it.

[Sasha] You present.

[Ben] Yes.

Okay.

Shall we?

(cheering)

[Sasha] Sophia!

Happy birthday!

(laughing)

[Sasha] All right, make it a good one.

(cheering)

Woo!

Wanna lick the icing?

[Sophia] Yeah.

Yum!

(laughing)

Thank you very much.

Cheers again.

Cheers, cheers.

[Ana] I'll get the bottle.

Oh, you gonna take the bottle?

Here you go.

(cheering)

(faint soft rock music)

[Sasha] Hey.

What are you doing?

Just texting Paul.

We're still having a good time.

I will be right down.

(laughing)

That's right.

Cigarette?

You can smoke in here, I don't mind.

Here, let me open the window.

You okay?

I need to lie down.

[Ben] Damn.

We can clean in the morning.

I was just commenting on the night.

Sh*t, I forgot to turn

on the water upstairs.

(mumbles).

(door closes)

Oh my God, you scared me!

(laughing)

Sorry.

That's okay.

I need to turn on the water.

I was just going down to get some.

Let me do it.

Thank you.

Sorry I didn't do that earlier.

That's okay.

Well goodnight.

(gentle piano music)

I am doing all I can, love

But I don't understand, love

(mumbles) how we are

I have never felt before such, love

'Till I felt yours, love

Don't cut it down

Hey.

You went running?

[Sasha] Yeah.

Wow, it's not cold, you're not hungover?

It's not too bad.

It's fine once you get going.

[Sophia] Ben?

[Sasha] Sophia's calling.

[Sophia] Ben?

[Ben] I'm gonna go start breakfast.

I'll be out in a minute.

(door closes)

[Ana] Oh no, here it comes.

(laughing)

(mumbles).

He was wearing those the first

time he ever cooked for me.

[Sasha] He's a keeper.

How could you resist all of that?

(loud chatter)

[Ana] (gasps)

(laughs) These are huge.

(laughing)

I'm so sorry I couldn't find mine.

[Ana] Oh my gosh.

[Sasha] (mumbles).

(giggles)

(laughing)

[Ana] No!
