Does the word "promiscuous"

mean anything to you?

No.

It means that these men

do not respect you,

that they just want you

for one thing.

Right in the spur

of the moment,

I feel as though you're putting a lot of

social and emotional pressure right now to me.

When was the last time Will actually

included you in a conversation, huh?

See? I'm not pressuring you.

You do what you want to.

I'm not gonna force you

to be my girlfriend.

Whatever.

[door closes]

[Dorsey] Sarah and David,

you had some homework, right?

You went to the Brooklyn Bridge?

How was it?

It's kind of irritating.

[Dorsey]

Okay. Irritating how?

Sarah, what about you? What did

you think of the Brooklyn Bridge?

Well, to be very honest

with you, Dorsey,

um, even though David found it really

irritating to focus on the positive,

I had a wonderful time.

Terrific memories there.

- [Dorsey] Can anybody else relate to that?

- [man] Yeah. Yeah.

I don't envy anybody, you know,

as far as... [indistinct]

But sometimes...

[Sammy]

This is what I'll do is...

I'm as horny

As Kansas in August

[laughing]

Someone's in the kitchen

With...

[car approaches]

[electric window whirring]

[driver]

Are you getting in, Mr. Cohen?

W-What about your friends?

[David]

One, two...

[yells] Ah! Be angry!

- [game dings]

- Woo!

Wow.

- Yay!

- One more for good luck!

- [dings]

- You gonna kiss your boyfriend?

What about you, girl?

- [Sarah] I don't know how.

- [David] Here, use this, use this.

I just felt like watching.

I have very severe

diet restrictions to gluten.

I wanna make sure

there's no gluten.

I just wanna make it absolutely

very, very crystal clear.

And if it has no gluten, I would

really love the lobster salad.

Does mayonnaise

have gluten in it? No.

- [man speaking, indistinct]

- All right. Okay, yeah.

Look at this. This is fun.

[seagull crying]

It doesn't have to necessarily be

on the beach, David, you know?

Well, this is what

the beach is about.

David, I just really don't

like the sand on my feet. It...

Come on. I just want

to hold your hand.

Can't we do something else?

Like mix and match

and explore a variety...

What do you want to do Sarah? Okay?

What do you want to do? Okay?

- What I want to do David, so badly...

- We're in Coney Island here.

There's like a million things to do here.

What do you want to do?

- [David] Oh, my God.

- [Sarah] What is this ride?

- [David yells] Uh!

- [Sarah] David, look! Look at this.

I love...

This looks so exciting.

- Look at the one right here! Look!

- Uh!

David, sweetheart, this looks

so exciting and tantalizing.

- [riders screaming]

- [David] It looks like the strings are gonna break.

I don't want

you to get hurt.

We won't get hurt.

You'll protect me.

I want to go

on that with you.

[David] I just figured

you'd like the teacups,

the horsey rides, the boats.

Perfect for a lady like you,

you know?

I don't want to go on the baby rides.

I've aged out of those stages.

Do you want to go

on the sling ride?

- Where's the sling ride?

- Look at it, up in the air.

- [Sarah] The boat rides are still not appropriate for my...

- [David] Okay.

[Sarah] The boat rides

are still very babyish.

We can always go on the horsey ride,

you know, like the merry-go-round?

Everybody goes

on the merry-go-round.

- Everyone of all ages. It's not just for babies...

- Okay.

- Okay, I trust you on that. We'll do that.

- Okay.

[kids chattering]

What's wrong?

Don't you want a horse?

No, horses are not for men.

All right.

[ride clacks, whirs]

[calliope music playing]

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo! Whoo!

[snorts]

I'm having a blast, David. Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo-hoo!

[snorts] Aah!

[snorts]

Sorry.

It's my allergies.

[snorts] Aah!

[snorts] Aah!

Aah!

It's okay. It's okay.

Aah!

Aah!

[shouting, indistinct]

[shouting continues]

[shouts, indistinct]

[shouts, indistinct]

[snorts] Aah!

Aah!

[snorts]

Aah!

Uh, about that thing,

the horsey ride.

I just got real sick, that's

all, but I'm okay now, you know?

I mean, uh, I'm not contagious

or anything like...

Sarah, look at me.

I'm okay.

I mean, I've really

been getting better.

[Sarah]

By the place

Where I am lying

And kneel and say

An ave there for me

Well, I always say you can't go wrong

with a little Gilbert and Sullivan.

Gilbert and Sullivan?

For this?

How about some

Justin Timberlake?

Hey, Will.

Let's do "Mirrors"

or "Cry Me a River."

They're both

on your "best" list.

Don't tell me

That you love me

[David] I'm excited to see what

you present in the showcase.

[Will] Oh, really? I thought

you were just passing through.

Until you come

To me

[applause]

Are you

a fairy princess?

I really love

your outfit.

It's so beautiful.

I love green.

It's my favorite color.

My country, 'tis of thee

Sweet land of liberty

Of thee I sing

Hey, thank you.

Thank you.

God bless you.

Here we are.

My cousin's play.

You're just

gonna love it.

[applause]

Hey, Matt, it's David.

Um, we just saw your show.

Um, we're still at the theater,

so I don't know what to do.

You wanna meet us

at the restaurant?

Is there anything I can

help you with though?

No, I don't really

need anything.

I wanna know what your hobbies are.

What are you passionate about?

I don't...

I don't have hobbies.

I just... I just work.

Oh. What are you so passionate

about working in the theater?

What do you love

about it so much?

Nothing.

I don't love

anything about it.

Please give me a call, okay?

- Hi.

- Hey.

We're not exactly asking

for autographs.

Have you, uh,

seen Matt Cone?

I just work the door.

I'm just security.

If I show my ticket stubs, can I go in?

I really gotta see him.

You can't go

in here.

Well, they do come out

here, the actors, right?

I'm not asking

for any trouble.

I'm not a bad person

or anything. I just...

You're not getting any trouble.

There's no trouble.

You just can't go

in this door.

He's my cousin, you know?

I don't care

who your cousin is

or your brother or your

uncle, your grandmother.

I don't care.

I feel like you're

angry at the world.

Why don't you just

lighten up, you know?

I'll tell you a joke.

Shia LaBeouf was in the car

with Lindsay Lohan.

Do you know who was driving?

The cops.

You trying to get hurt?

You wanna get hurt tonight?

Being up so late,

it's gorgeous.

Well, hurry up.

The light. The light.

David, it's

so deserted here.

Like, there's... Like, there's no one.

There's no souls.

- Like, it's practically not even...

- Yeah, nobody here.

- Watch out for those bikers.

- [giggles]

- Isn't this place great?

- Oh, my God.

You know you're at a good restaurant

when the ambience is beautiful.

- [Sarah] Oh, my God.

- Take a look at the menu.

David, but the language

is so confusing.

- I mean...

- That's because it's Italian. It's another, uh, country.

David, I don't speak any Italian.

It's very confusing.

I don't either.
