Come on in.

l got a surprise for you.

Come on.

Come here.

Girls, l'd like you

to meet my friend Dave.

Dave, this is

Molly and Annette.

-Actually, l'm Annette.

-l'm Molly.

Nice to meet you both.

Molly and Annette

are flight attendants.

Oh, so then if this

was the seventies...

we'd go off and have an orgy.

You look like you could

use a fresh one, Molly.

Shall we?

Yes. Come with me.

Go ahead and sit down over here.

l could use a fresh drink.

Go, sit down.

You're all right.

Sit down on the white couch.

She won't bite.

So you're just in

for a few days, l guess.

Yeah. Looking

for a good time...

in the city

that never sleeps.

Do flight attendants

have a certain route...

that they fly?

lt must be fantastic...

to travel to such exotic

places like you do.

lt can be hectic,

but every now and then...

l get to do

a little adventuring.

What's been your

favorite so far?

l was flying

in and out of Rio...

and l got to spend

some time on the Amazon.

That was incredible.

See, that's my dream.

l would love to just go down

there and shoot full-time.

You're a photographer?

Yeah. l do mainly

fashion photography...

like this, but my heart...

my heart is in nature

photography, really.

ln fact, l'm talking

to the people...

at ''National Geographic''

as we speak.

Really?

l've been to the Amazon...

like, l don't know,

three or four times.

You know, to be able

to go down there...

and capture flying fish

just kind of...

leaping out of the river...

just to grab a little

nibble of food...

you know, it's...

it's humbling.

Do you like tequila?

l think it's a great

idea to have kids...

but there's so many ways

you could screw it up.

l was having this conversation

with my wife, and--

Wait. You're married?

-Yes, l did.

-No, you did not.

Cal is a photographer,

and he has been telling me...

the most amazing stories

about the Amazon.

To be honest with you,

swimming with piranha...

is not as dangerous

as it sounds.

As long as you

don't have an open wound...

you can just jump right in,

swim right up to them...

pet them if you like.

You can pet them?

You heard me.

That is so amazing.

Totally.

Yeah. Almost unbelievable.

That's great.

Dan was just telling

me about his wife.

Or Dave.

Did he tell you what

happened to her?

-No.

-What happened?

She died.

What?

Oh, my God.

l'm so sorry.

l feel awful.

How did she die?

Mountain climbing.

That is so tragic.

Well, nature has

its savage side.

She's not dead.

He keeps telling

himself that.

He's having a hard time

coming to grips with this.

lt must be really difficult.

Wow. You are so brave.

Honestly, ladies,

the strength...

that this man

has exhibited is...

it's awe inspiring.

-lt really is.

-Totally.

All right, l got an idea.

l have this groovy

little rooftop terrace...

with a beautiful

little Jacuzzi.

l say the four of us,

we go up there...

we drink

a little more tequila...

we play some music.

What do you say, girls?

-Sounds great.

-Great!

Oh, we don't have

our suits.

lt doesn't matter.

l have a ''no suit'' rule

in this place.

We don't need them.

Don't need them.

l have some robes over there.

You guys can throw

those things on...

and we'll head upstairs.

OK. Sure.

All right? Good.

lt's right there,

that gray door.

How can you make

this stuff up about Greta?

What is this sh*t

about the Amazon?

You tell them

what they want to hear...

and you speak with passion.

Now, you're coming up, right?

l don't want to do this.

l really don't.

l just want to go home.

You hear that?

That's opportunity knocking, OK?

And unless you answer

the f***ing door...

it's going to play

ding-dong ditch.

What the f***

is ding-dong ditch?

lt's when you

ring the doorbell...

and you run before

they answer the door.

Didn't you ever

play that as a kid?

Yeah. We called it

ring and run.

Well, we called it

ding-dong ditch, OK?

All set!

Oh, those are cute.

Thank you.

Ready, Dave?

Unfortunately, girls,

Dave is not going to

make it to Jacuzzi time.

Oh, sure.

We totally understand.

She's in a better place now.

Our condolences.

F***ing meet somebody, OK?

You take care of yourself, baby.

Come on, girls.

All right.

You know, l've been

thinking a lot about this...

and l'm ready to have kids.

What?

Well, isn't that

what you wanted?

Yeah, but because l felt like

there was something missing...

in my life.

You weren't happy?

l haven't been happy

for a long time.

Why don't we just forget

this ever happened?

You think you can just

forget this happened?

Well, not on my own...

but if you hit me

in the head really hard...

maybe we'll get lucky.

Are you in love with her?

l don't know.

Oh, my God.

l'm sorry, Dave,

but unlike you...

l don't carry

around a manual...

that explains what comes next.

So now l'm just

Mr. Boring Guy...

who follows a script.

l can be different.

ls this something...

we could incorporate

into the marriage?

What, like we all

have sex together?

Greta, you are too old

to be doing this.

l mean, if you really wanted

to be...with women, l mean...

shouldn't you have done it

when you were in college...

like everyone else?

l mean, come on.

You went to

an all-girls school...

for Christ's sakes!

Greta. Greta, don't--

Greta, wait.

Sh*t! Damn!

Come in.

David Siegel?

Yeah.

This is for you.

Thanks.

What the f***?

Hey, Dave, have you seen

the numbers...

on the Wilson account?

This is nuts!

Hey, hold the elevator!

Mister...come on.

l think this is a mistake.

-Are you David Siegel?

-Yeah.

Then there's no mistake.

Yeah, but these are

divorce papers.

l deliver them, pal,

l don't write them.

l mean,

this can't be possible.

l'm sure you two have a real

fairy-tale romance, OK?

No, you don't understand.

See, this is just a phase

that she's going through.

Looks like a pretty permanent

phase to me, buddy.

F*** you.

You're taking these back.

l'm not taking them back.

Yeah, you are taking them back.

Hey, back off,

you f***ing psycho!

No wonder your wife's

divorcing you.

You son of a b*tch!

Oh, my God!

Now you're messing

with the bull.

You're gonna get the horns.

l'll kill you!

-l'm gonna kick that guy's ass!

-Do it!

You want to dance?

-You want to?

-So let's do it.

Come on. Relax. Relax.

What's going on?

Run away, Nancy boy.

You're not a nice man.

Yeah. Hey, say hi

to your wife for me.

F*** you!

Who are you?

Just a guy doing his job.

Taxi!

This is it.

Right here.

You forgot to pay me!

You can't go in there!

You f***ing b*tch!

l'm sorry.

He just barged right in.

lt's OK, Sheila.

Well, Dave, to what

do l owe the pleasure?

Don't play coy.

OK, but l think we

should try our best...

to be civil about this.

You know what?

My wife is divorcing me!

You can shove civil

right up your ass, lady!

All right, fair enough.

Why don't you have a seat?

l don't want to sit down!

God damn it!

OK, stand.

What did you do? You cast
