Time to go.

Hey, Charley.

That was Pam and Diane

from the car.

They're on their way over.

I thought we were seeing them

tonight at Jill's.

They say they have

something to tell us.

Wow. That was fast.

You know, don't you?

All right, guys.

I don't know where to begin.

- Oh, well...

- So...

Look, you know, these things,

they just get out of hand.

I mean, you know,

you want to tell...

you want to get it off your chest.

And I'm sure every night

you think you will...

and it just gets

harder and harder.

We're your best friends. I mean...

I know, but, you know,

we're still that, right?

- I mean...

- Oh, God, yeah.

This doesn't change anything.

For me it doesn't.

No, but also,

trust is everything, and...

It's not just about trust.

Gil, how are you feeling?

Well... wow.

Well, I'm feeling better

now that we're facing it.

But, you know,

we're getting ahead of ourselves.

Why don't you say

what you came here to say?

It's over, OK?

The secret, OK?

We're done with that.

It's done. And now we just...

we want to be here

in any way we can.

OK? I mean,

the health system's tricky...

- and, well, you need advocates...

- Pam! Pam!

You got to let us be that for you...

Pam, can I have

a conversation with you?

Charley,

I'm gonna bring you into this.

- I need to speak to you in private.

- And Charley, too.

That should be obvious,

but you've got to let us all help you.

I'm... What are you

talking about?

- Come on, Gil. Knock it off.

- Gil, it's OK.

Look, we know you're sick,

and we want to help you.

I'm sick? I'm not... What?

- I told you not to bring it up.

- Bring what up, Charley?

I had to, man.

I mean, we're family.

- But I don't...

- Gil, your disease, all right?

Your incurable,

untreatable brain disease.

We know. Jesus. I mean,

how long are you gonna keep this up?

What? I don't know what is going on.

Look, so far we know

that it's hereditary...

it's progressive,

and asymptomatic so far...

which is good news.

OK, I didn't want to tell you

because I knew you'd be mad...

but I had a plan...

Hereditary? Jesus, Charley!

What, are you Lucy?

What kind of crazy sh*t is this?

It's not crazy. You should've

seen her face when I told her.

She was so upset.

Of course she was upset, Charley.

She's my oldest friend.

She was upset because she thought

Max would inherit the brain...

- Wait a second.

- Max? How would Max inherit it?

Oh, you're good.

You're very good.

Are you not sick?

L...

Oh, Jesus. OK.

What the hell's going on here?

Look, we know that Max

is Gil's son.

OK? You only have

to look to see that.

We know that you lied about

the sperm sample not working.

But, you know,

best friends or not...

you wanted a kid

that you didn't have to share.

Oh, you miserable little f*ggot.

Oh, that's mature.

Homophobe much?

Do you have any idea

what you've done?

And you lied to me?

About him being sick?

That's disgusting.

Jesus Christ, Gil.

Is that what you think?

No, no. I mean...

I don't know. I mean...

It never occurred

to me before, Pam. It just...

Notice that they're not denying it.

- I'll deny it.

- F*** that.

- I gotta get out of here.

- You don't deserve it.

So let's get a DNA test.

You know what, motherf***er?

Get a court order.

In the meantime,

you stay the f*** away from us.

It's me, OK? It's not you.

They'll see that.

That's the way to go with this.

Just blame me.

I'm fine with that.

I mean, they didn't deny it.

Not really.

It's interesting. I...

OK?

Yeah. Just make sure

you don't get too much...

of the treatment room, all right?

'Cause that's what we've

got to fake later at your place.

So less is better with that.

OK, OK. What if they catch me?

Are you the type people catch?

OK.

Mis-en-scene.

Don't forget... mis-en-scene.

Come in.

Do you want me to start

face up or face down?

Is this your first time here, Mamie?

- I said your name.

- That's all right.

You don't have to go

all the way out.

Just start at the door.

Can we take five, please?

Sure. Yeah.

Take five.

Here.

- Thank you.

- Sure.

Good?

Did you see my interviews?

- They were good, right?

- Yeah. A lot of acting.

Thank you.

It's a documentary, you know.

He loves it. He thinks

you're an American hero...

making depressed women

everywhere feel good.

He's an idiot.

I think he's getting

a crush on you, you know?

Right. Yeah, nothing says

"I love you" like blackmail.

So, did you really have

a sister who died?

How do you know that?

From the interview

where you're walking.

It's supposed to be Mexico.

Oh, yeah. Well,

she was the baby, you know.

She was always sick.

But I have five others.

Oh, wow.

I have a brother.

Stepbrother.

Not here.

So...

you think we could match this

at my house?

- Yeah, sure.

- Yeah?

I'm gonna take the table home

and the screen.

And the robe, so...

They're gonna be

looking at the girl anyway.

Yeah.

Well, we have 45 minutes.

You want to help me rehearse?

Make me a better actor.

We should just get this done.

OK.

- Hi.

- Hey.

I just thought

Otis might be out here.

No, he's at Lane's.

I think he's probably

gonna spend the night.

Yeah. All right.

Do you smoke?

Yeah. Pot?

Yeah, I get high all the time.

Thanks.

You know, the thing

about guys Otis' age is...

there's not a whole lot going on

in there besides hormones.

Yeah.

I think he's in love.

No way. So quick?

It happened to me.

How long did you and Otis

know each other...

before you got together?

I'm not talking about Otis.

Look at me.

Just look at me.

- I'm firing!

- You aim.

- No, I'm firing!

- I'm firing!

I'm firing! I told you I was firing.

- Look, see? Fire, fire, fire, fire!

- All right.

He's in love.

Charley...

don't feed the dog

at the table.

Come on.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I'm Shauna. You must be Mamie.

Hi. Yes, that's right. Yeah.

You're Javier's friend.

He said 1:
00, so...

Yeah, come in. That's right.

You're right. You're right on time.

OK, so...

we're zoomed in

as much as possible right now...

and all we see is your face. OK?

When she arched her back

in rehearsal, we did see her nipples.

Nipples are fine.

Are nipples OK with you, Shauna?

Yeah, sure.

It's part of the story.

OK.

OK, anyway, Javier...

let's take it from you flipping

over onto your back.

Yeah, OK.

Get the...

OK. And action.

Can I get you

on your back now, Mrs. Kline?

Do you think it's enough

with just her?

Oh, yeah. If you get more than one,

it dilutes it.

But if you want,

you could get testimonials...

you know,

clients who get it done?

Would you like

a complete massage, Mrs. Kline?

What do you mean by "complete"?

Get ready for your zoom.

Right. F***.

It's all right.

There we go.

Oh, she's so good.

She's so good.

And he's a natural.

Look at how he gives her...

so much to work off of,

you know?

Are nipples OK with you, Shauna?

Yeah, sure.

It's part of the story.

Anyway, OK, OK. So...

so as soon as Javier says,

"Would you like a complete..."
