Yeah, she's just taking some time to

figure out what she really wants to do,

which I respect a lot more

than some people...

who just pick some path right out of

school because they need stability.

Oh, do you need to slow down?

No. Do you?

No.

I'm fine. I'm good too.

Good. Good.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Hey.

Why can't you just

pay for the damage?

You were parked in our driveway.

You hit my car. You hit my...

- Okay, let's just... Let's calm down a second.

- It's okay, Tim. I got it.

You know what? The insurance companies are still

trying to determine who was at fault here.

Okay, you know what? I'm a nice guy, okay?

I'm a f***ing dad.

I'm not... I'm not trying to rip you

off here. I just want what's right.

I'm sorry that you feel

wronged in this situation.

Okay, you're unbelievable. Don't run over my

kids next time you're texting and driving.

I do not text and drive.

Seriously?

Dude, she does it all the time.

I see her.

You... Da-da-da-da-da,

da-da-da-da-da. You.

Jesus.

Maybe I was entering

something into my G.P.S.

Maybe.

Wait...

Hey. What's up?

Maybe we should just pay him.

What?

Well, we don't need to be in a

fight with our neighbor over this.

Maybe we just give him a couple hundred bucks,

you say you're sorry, we'll be done with it.

But I didn't do anything wrong.

I'm not saying you did.

I mean, although you're not really supposed

to use the G.P.S. while you're driving.

Oh, so you do think

it's my fault.

I don't know whose fault it was.

I wasn't there.

So, great. Good to know that when

in doubt, you're not on my team.

- Paige.

- Just go. You're gonna be late for golf.

- You can't really be late for golf.

- Whatever. Just go.

Okay.

That feels good.

Yeah? You like that? Yeah.

It's my signature move.

"Signature move."

Yeah.

- You and Vanessa?

- Shh. no.

No. I...

Not yet. Nothing happened yet.

We've just been talking about it.

Good. You scared me.

You think Jenn

would really freak out?

Sasha, Jenn would die. Okay.

Okay. Fine.

I won't hook up with her then.

You know you can trust me

with this stuff, right?

What do you mean?

I mean, like, if something

has already happened...

between you and Vanessa,

and you wanted to confide

in me, you totally can,

and I promise I won't tell Jenn.

I have been hooking up with

Vanessa for a little while.

Okay. No judgment.

Seriously?

Come on. If lesbians

weren't allowed to date...

anyone their friends have already

dated, then we'd all be celibate.

Oh, my God.

Hey, Jenn. I was just with other Jen.

F*** you.

Really, Sasha? Vanessa?

After I cried for months on your

shoulder about how badly she hurt me?

Oh, God. Oh, my God.

You weren't supposed to

find out like this.

What? So now that

Paige ditched you,

you're just gonna f*** anyone over

so you don't have to be alone?

Paige didn't ditch me.

Oh, please.

Wake up. You've been replaced.

And you know what?

You deserve it, because I have

never been this betrayed.

Oh, really, Jenn?

You've never been this betrayed?

Even when two of your exes

started f***ing each other?

And, please, you're not some saint. You

slept with a married girl last year.

Cameron was in

an open relationship, okay?

You know what? This isn't about that.

This is not about that.

This is about our friendship,

which is over. So good-bye.

Oh, and you know what? Vanessa

doesn't shave her p*ssy hair...

or even trim it,

so good luck down there.

Oh, well, guess what.

I already know that.

I'm not even gonna...

Oh, my God. Jen...

Sasha, what's up?

You f***ing told Jenn?

Hey. Hi.

Look, I'm sorry about earlier, okay?

I did not mean to take a side.

I don't know that guy.

Thanks.

Don't be like that. Like what?

"Thanks."

I didn't say it like that.

Okay. Never mind.

Enough!

I miss you, okay?

Okay.

Golfing was great.

Thank you for asking.

You're a f***ing b*tch.

Nora, hi.

I'm sorry that you heard that.

I was on...

I was, uh, researching our properties,

and someone said something...

This package needs to go out

to our China office immediately.

Right. Okay. I'm sorry.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

Look what I found

in the conference room.

Oh. Hi.

Hey.

Is it already 6:
00?

Have you been here all day?

Yeah.

I just got totally absorbed

in my short story.

Pete stopped by to give me his notes, and they

just sent me in this whole new direction.

And Pete is the guy that you

met in the coffee shop, right?

The writer guy? Yeah, yeah.

And he teaches part-time

at the university.

They gave him this amazing

fellowship that, like, no one gets.

He has all these ins

at The New Yorker,

so he's gonna help me

submit this once it's done.

Cool.

Oh. Were you having wine?

Oh, yeah. Actually, it's... it's gone.

Pete just brought some earlier.

Oh. I thought it was

a work meeting.

It was, at first,

but then we hung out, and...

I don't know. I guess I hadn't told

him that I was gay or something.

People don't normally assume I

am, because I'm really feminine.

But, um,

at one point, he... kissed me.

What? Oh, my God.

Awkward.

Yeah. That's what

I would have thought.

I don't know how to

tell you this, but...

there was something there.

But...

you're gay.

I mean, I don't know.

I don't know. I feel like I've

been saying I'm gay for so long...

that maybe I just stopped getting

in touch with where I actually am,

you know, in the spectrum.

All I know is I owe it

to myself to find out.

Okay. Got it.

And I owe it to you

to be honest.

Not that I could have lied.

I'm just one of those people who's

not capable of a false moment.

All right. I got a cake mix, I got a

bottle of scotch, I got a face mask...

and a really weird jewelry-making

kit that I found at CVS.

So what are we doing first?

You think two N's

will ever forgive me?

Yeah. I mean, she'll probably hold

a grudge 'cause she loves drama.

Yeah, but so does one "N,"

even though she keeps saying she

doesn't want to get in between us.

As soon as two N's gets a girlfriend,

she's gonna forget all about this.

She was so mad.

You know, maybe I should

remember next time that...

if it starts off

with a ton of drama,

maybe I shouldn't go there.

That's probably

a good rule of thumb.

"Rule of thumb." Shut up.

No, I don't know.

Maybe I should date someone a

little bit more... More mature?

Okay. I was gonna say

more, you know, sure she's gay,

but, yeah,

what do you really think?

No, I just...

I think that you deserve to be with

somebody who's got their sh*t together.

Yeah, no, you're right.

Or at the very least someone

who doesn't go on and on...

about how good she is in bed...

while we're in bed.

What? Yeah, I know.

It's kind of hard

to stay in the moment...

when your partner keeps telling you that

everything she's doing is her signature move.

She did not. No. She did a lot.

Oh, my God.

Oh.

It's so late. I should

probably get going.

No, don't go. We're having fun.

I know, but Tim doesn't like it

when I drive home late at night.
