This is for you. If you are

interested do let us know quickly,

'cause this place is going

to fly off the market.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

(gentle music)

Hera!

Goddess of Women

We did it!

I couldn't have done

it without you.

I was wondering? Hoping!

That if the peace

treaty was signed

you would let me see him again.

(gentle music)

Peace won't last

will it?

I will see you again,

sweet Goddess.

(gentle music)

(Applause)

(David) There she is.

Oh.

Hey, you were incredible.

Oh thank you.

- David.

- Fen.

(David) Nice to meet you, Fen.

It only took you until

closing night to get here.

Well I had to find a date.

Callie, this is Lysi,

my partner at the firm.

I'm boring by day,

but fabulous by night.

You were amazing.

I mean, like out of control.

Seriously just congratulations.

I would love to pick your brain

about acting...

Thank you.

She's charming.

So tell me, really, what did

you think about the show?

Well, I mean leave it to you to

create a geopolitical think-piece

complete with full frontal

nudity and dick jokes.

David, darling the dick jokes are

just to get the people in the house.

I thought it was the b*obs.

I meant what did you

think about the piece

as it relates to

the world today?

Israel, Palestine.

Russian, Ukraine.

America, and the entire f***ing

Middle East.

(David) You definitely

got your point across.

I mean, war is one of the

only constants in history.

And what can we as artists

in a time of war actually do

at a time of international

and domestic crisis

when we ourselves

are the worst stereotypes?

We revolt. We revolutionize.

We embrace peace,

and understanding,

and sex and bring it to as many

people that will buy a ticket.

(Fen) Short of storming Washington

that's the most we can do.

I liked your friends.

Yeah?

You got a little quiet there

at the end of it.

I just don't think that

geo-politics is exactly my thing.

You know what?

Forget about that.

I'm just glad that you met them.

Do you want to see that bra

that I promised you?

Okay.

You like?

I like you.

(gentle music)

Miss Rose isn't looking so good.

I'm not gonna comment

on you naming that plant.

Dude, it's all about

being sustainable,

you know, growing

your own herbs;

and if I name her,

she won't die.

Pretty sure that's

not how that works.

(Chrissie) I

have an idea.

Okay.

This is Mr. Snufflegus.

Okay and I think we can put Mr.

Snufflegus right here with Miss Rose,

and he'll watch over her,

and she won't die.

You guys are f***ing weird.

I always wanted a lot of the plants

and wildlife in my apartment, so...

Thank you.

(Chrissie) I'm

going to pee.

Now she's redecorating?

Dude, chill. All right?

I'm gonna run to the deli, and grab

some snacks. You want something?

Yeah, the jalapeo chips.

What?

That ain't right.

The f***?

(toilet flushes)

James! Help me with

these f***ing locks!

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

I got to go!

What do you mean you got to go?

Out! I got to go out.

Why? You said you'd help me

roll the coins.

You gotta stay.

And I will later, I promise.

But I have to go out

and make money.

No, it's dangerous out there.

I really don't think

you should go.

You got to stay right now.

You got to help me...

Please don't get crazy on me.

Oh crazy, right?

That's what I'm getting on you?

I'm getting crazy?!

James is crazy. That's what

you always say, right?

James is crazy! Crazy!

You know what's f***ing

crazy out there?

You wanna go?

- James, if we use everything I have,

- I don't care, go. Go.

I have to go get more.

(Cece) I'll come back!

No, don't come back.

I'll see you in hell.

Hmmm.

It's like one of those bags

from Harry Potter.

(Chrissie) What?

Yeah, like there's this character

that has this magical bag

that's actually really small

but she pulls out things

that would never fit in it.

Just a shirt.

Yeah, yeah I know.

But like...

You think you'd be carrying your

whole life in that thing

the way you carry it around.

Oh.

Okay.

Why not.

(exhales)

That makes no sense.

(typing)

Lizzie! Come here!

(gentle music)

Um, so...

I have something for you.

I wanted to make you something

because you totally inspired the

idea for my whiskey commercial,

and I'm going to kill it now

thanks to you.

You gotta open it.

It's beautiful.

Yeah? Do you like it?

You totally saved me today.

This is amazing. I can't wait

to see the commercial.

(David) You okay?

Yeah. Yeah, let's go to bed.

(gentle music)

Look what your

eyes made me do

I never wanted

Someone new

Do you have to go?

Well, I'm pretty

pumped actually.

Because Moon Drill is going

to buy my commercial,

and then I'm going to move into

this really fancy studio apartment

on the water and I just...

oh my God, I love my life.

Oh.

That's what that was

all about? Okay.

No, you're not going to go.

No.

Okay, okay come on I really...

I actually, I really have to go.

Okay, well I'm going to make you

breakfast first

because you haven't lived until

you've tried my eggs, okay?

Yeah?

Yeah.

I love that you're

cooking for me.

Yeah?

How much do you like it?

A lot.

Guys, it's early. Can we confine the

PDA to our respective bedrooms?

Hey Avi.

There better be

some breakfast left for me.

And I hope you washed your hands

'cause I don't wany

any jizz eggs.

Says you.

- Thank you.

- Yup.

These are you jizz eggs.

They are the house

specialty today.

(Avi) Mmmmmm.

Ketchup?

No, I don't need any ketchup.

What's wrong with you?

My bad.

Who doesn't put ketchup

on their eggs?

These are perfection.

Perfection.

Thank you.

They could still use

some ketchup though.

Listen, if you want to keep

some perfection,

I could stay and hang around

with you this weekend,

cook some more.

Sorry Callie, I've got kind of

like a big date this weekend

and David promised I'd have

the place to myself.

Am I right? Am I right?

(David) Yeah, yeah,

I did. I did.

Besides, doesn't your

roommate miss you?

She's super busy. I don't know.

Well, one of these days I'm going to

have to go over and force a meeting.

I told you, my place

isn't that nice.

I don't care about that.

As long as you're there.

I think I'm gonna grab a shower

before we go, okay?

Okay.

What?

Seriously?

I mean, she hasn't left our

place since you two met,

and now she wants to stay

while you're out of town.

What is that? What's with her?

Don't be jealous that I'm getting laid

every single night for two weeks.

I can't believe you

just went there.

I mean, there was

nowhere else to go.

Don't you think

it's kind of weird

you haven't seen her place

or met any of her friends

and she practically

moved in here?

No dude, she didn't move in.

Really, dude?

She left a toothbrush here,

she left an elephant.

Okay, well I'm going to go see

her place when I get back.

Happy?

Whatever man, I'm just saying

don't get stuck

with a clinger, you know?

Two weeks is a long time
