it detailed. Watch the door.

- I'm trying my best. I'm fine.

- Watch your foot... Okay.

Dad? You know what, I'm just going

to make a phone call really quickly.

What phone call?

We just got here.

It's going to be really quick...

Carol, you always do this.

Come on.

Listen, make sure you

find us when you're done.

- All right?

- I will. I will.

Hello. Yes, I'd like

a cab to Reseda.

How long is the

wait on that ish?

- Carol, hey. How are you?

- Louis.

- Hi.

- Nancy is who I am.

Yes. This is true.

You look great.

Thank you so much.

Were you waiting for someone?

Or should we go in?

I'm just here with my dad.

- Oh, really! Let's go in.

- Yeah.

I was doing a gig, and we

were like on the 22nd take,

and so the producer says,

"On the next take"

"can you give me a

little bit more energy?"

And I said, "Well, why don't

you go back to take one."

You decided to come.

Oh, yeah. Nancy wanted to come.

I thought, you know, "Maybe

I'll run into a friend."

This place is rich.

Drinks stat.

- You want to come?

- No. I'm good.

Are you sure?

Yeah. You go and

get your drink on.

Used to be Don, Hal Douglas and Sam

here who had the lockdown on the epics.

Sam, you weren't doing

epics until Don passed.

I mean, no disrespect.

None taken.

By the way, how's the Just

for Men working out for you?

Sam, by the way, congratulations

on the Lifetime Achievement Award.

That was very, very

well-deserved, my friend.

Very kind of you, I

appreciate that.

It is such an honor.

It'll be a great way to get

Sam's whole family together.

Bittersweet, though,

isn't it, Sotto?

I mean, you reach the peak of your success,

and you only have one way to fall.

Listen, you're just on edge,

Graue, because you're getting old

and Gustav's closing in on

that "In a world..." gig.

- Well, let's hope so.

- I'm not sure about that.

I think that they're gonna

make you fight for it.

I'm surprised they didn't

go to you on this one, Sam.

Well, gee, Marc, what makes

you so sure they didn't?

Wow. That is not feminine.

Gym bag.

That's your spot.

Always has been.

- Pretty cool, right?

- Yeah, it's impressive.

What part? The map?

Or the world?

You know, both are good.

That's correct. Both are good.

Gustav Warner.

Yeah, I know. I know.

This is your...

My house and my party.

I don't know who you are.

Would you care to indulge me?

- I'm Carol Solomon. - Carol

Solomon. You're very pretty.

What?

You're very pretty. You're

really, really pretty.

I saw you come in with some randoms and

I've been clocking you out all night.

You're just really pretty. I

just wanted to tell you that.

Thank you.

You don't have to

return the compliment.

I get it. I have a

face for radio.

But enjoy the map.

Or the world.

- Mimi?

- Alla?

- What are you doing here? - My

God, what are you doing here?

- I am working here dummy.

- So, is he a good boss?

He can be a sh*t, but he

overpays me so who gives a f***!

Jesus.

Bye!

Amazing, right?

You got to take that thing out of

here before she strains her milk.

Oh, no! Oh, sorry!

Could I just have a water?

It's me again. Same message.

Let's see what you got, mate.

Just people who have a flustered

vendetta for the unavoidable.

And you, actually.

Yes! You make me laugh.

Just looking at you.

I'm sure you're a strong woman.

And you're a toughie

with your friends.

But I'm looking at you now,

and you're shakin' in your

knickers like a little girl.

I just wish I could do something

to make you feel more comfortable.

I'm fine. I'm not shaking in

anything. So comfortable.

Do you have a boyfriend?

No.

Hello, nosy.

Hey! God!

I'm sorry. I'm in this...

I'm really sorry about being here.

This is clearly off-limits to guests.

Oh, no, no. All of my guests

have left at this point.

They have?

So either you're an intruder,

a figment of my imagination

or you're my new roommate.

I would be your roommate if

I could live in this room.

This is really...

This is cool.

I built this special

room for me.

This is my private space.

Oh, sorry.

- I'm glad you like it.

- I like it.

My parents died when

I was very young,

and they left me a

large inheritance

and I used that to travel the

world, so I never went to college.

I guess you can say that

culture was my education.

But now,

whenever I find myself

wrapped up in the industry,

I know this sounds crazy,

but I like to come to this

room, take off all my clothes,

and just remember what it feels

like to be uncomfortable.

I'm only telling you this because

there's something about you

that reminds me of me.

You know?

I'm sorry, I don't mean to

unload all of that on you.

It's just that I look at you in

this space and you're so pretty.

And I just want to

kiss you right now.

Sweetie, I am so sorry

that our entire date night

got totally screwed up.

Lizzie's nephew had some kind

of procedure or something.

I don't know. He's

like a kid to her.

So she wanted me to cover

for her 'cause her sister,

whatever, is like, in AA,

or she now is in AA,

and everybody's trying

to clean up over there.

And she had to take care of him.

I guess we could just go get

Greek food if you want.

Get takeout because

they're gonna...

But I'm looking at you now,

and you're shakin' in your

knickers like a little girl.

I found it behind the sink.

Wait. Wait.

Wait.

Wait.

Hey.

It's a nice day, huh?

Thank you.

It was really...

Nice.

Oh, my God!

Did we sleep together?

No.

Did I sleep with anyone?

Nope.

Who did you sleep with?

Nobody.

Hello, Bell Cab.

- Yeah, hi, can I get a

taxi cab... - Please hold.

Yeah, I'll hold.

I'm just going to

use your bathroom.

Sorry about your sheets.

Guess who's a slutty whore?

Dani?

Danielle? What's going on?

Are you okay?

What's wrong?

Okay.

So where were you last night,

man? I didn't see you.

No, I was talking to some redhead with

a shitty voice but a killer rack.

I know who you're talking about.

Yeah, so, what's

the word, Chief?

Listen, I got a little

gossip for you.

I found out the name of the

broad who snagged that gig.

Spill it.

Forget it. She's a nobody.

She's a two-bit vocal coach.

But now, she booked two

more movie trailer gigs.

Get this. They're all

children's movies, but still.

Her name's Carol Solomon.

What?

Carol Solomon. She's not

gonna keep working,

if I have anything to do

with it. Little thief!

She was at the party.

What're you talking about?

Who f***ing brought her?

I don't know.

He came in and he walked

up with this puppy.

He gave Erin a puppy?

What kind of puppy?

I didn't even sleep with

the stupid Irish schmuck.

Are you serious?

- Not that it matters. It doesn't

matter. - It does matter, Dani.

That makes it... It's a gray area, but

I think that makes it a lot less...

No, we just kissed.

That's pennies.

And then I ran out of the room.

We made out for like 25 minutes.

That's not hideous.

- He tried to put the tip in.

- Okay.
