- I'm gonna tell her.

Are you sure

you're not gonna scare her off?

I mean, does she know

who you really are...

your birding, your loud mouth,

your silliness?

I mean, I love all that, but it

does take some getting used to.

She accepts me for who I am.

Well, if you feel it,

you can tell her.

Set my silly little heart

on fire

became my desire

you stood me up

What are you...

Do you think I'm the only girl

that likes you?

- What do you mean?

- I just rejected a girl.

Oh,

so you're feeling confident,

or you want to

make Mila jealous.

Am I not successful enough

with women for you, too?

Is that it?

No, you're a romantic.

You want to find the one,

and... Watch movies together

when it's raining,

make breakfast for each other

on Sunday mornings.

It's just, that's not me.

It's not what I want.

You stood me up

you stood me up

Hi.

I'm sorry about before.

Mm-hmm.

Oh!

- Oh, um, I'm sorry.

- Did I do something wrong? I did.

No, but your hairy tongue did,

so...

Should I go and shave it?

No, just cut it off, maybe.

And send it to you in the mail.

- Or just swallow it.

- Either way.

Uh...

Enjoy.

Mila said you really like

birds, so I brought you here.

I appreciate it.

Would've paid extra

for the Turkey if you wanted.

Poultry's poultry.

Turkey seems

a little bit more festive.

Did you have

a cerebral aneurysm

associated with your arrhythmia?

Huh?

A period where your brain

goes without blood.

How would I know that?

There's a test they do.

Oh, then, uh,

definitely don't have that

'cause they didn't do the test.

That's good.

So, um, thank you

for taking me to the hospital,

and I'm sorry

that I was a butthead.

That's okay.

You're not...

You're not gonna say

that I wasn't a butthead?

You were a little bit

of a butthead.

- No. No, I was not.

- Okay.

No.

Man, you really don't know

when to back down, do you?

- And you do?

- Yeah.

What about now. Uh,

is now the time to back down?

For me or for you?

I just...

Neither, man.

Boom!

Out this way.

You have anything

other than chicken?

Oh.

- Astor.

- Ah! What?

Hey.

- And you are twins.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, trinity, divinity.

Trinity and divinity.

I suppose you have a sister

named naivete, too.

Or that's just me.

- We're twins, not triplets.

- Right. Okay.

So, it was you

that I was presumptive with.

Yeah. Trinity told me that

she didn't know anyone here.

Yeah, I was kind of

keeping you a secret, too.

I just thought you were creepy.

Sadly,

I have that effect on women.

Well, I think

you're pretty charming.

- Oh. Well.

- And I was, um... I don't know

if you wanted to have dinner

tonight or something?

Yeah. Yes. Great.

Let's all three have dinner.

Yeah. Sure.

Can I ask you guys

a silly question?

- Sure.

- Sure.

Have you two ever kissed?

She was born a Cali girl

the sun and surf,

it was her world

till mom and dad

had split apart

a broken home,

a broken heart

and then

she walked into my life

I swore one day

she'd be my wife

and I'm not sure

if I was wrong

and that is why

I wrote this song

about the girl I met one day

who took my heart

and went away

and left me there

to dream again

of all the things

she ever meant

of battleships

and butterflies

and all the tears

we ever cried

and hours and hours

of sunny smiles

Oh, God.

Okay.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Hi.

Uh, yeah, uh...

Jake and I broke up.

How did he take it?

Well,

he didn't have a heart attack.

It was... it was really

wonderful what you did for him.

Oh, well, I had to put all that

studying to some sort of use.

He's really appreciative,

and...

Yeah. Yeah. He bought me

that chicken dinner.

Can I just come in?

Can... Can we talk tomorrow?

Are you okay?

- I'm... Naked.

- Yeah.

- But otherwise, I'm good.

- Okay.

Yeah, that's fine.

Let's just... let's just

catch up tomorrow. Okay.

Hi. Who are you?

Who am I? Who are you?

Who's she?

Ah. Who are they?

Trinity and divinity.

Right?

Yeah.

Okay, guys. Here, let's...

- Bye-bye.

- Bye.

- Ah!

- You all right?

Bye.

- Mila, please.

- What?

- Let's talk.

- Your twins are waiting.

They don't matter to me.

And that's why you're a slut.

- Those girls and I just kissed.

- That's it.

Do you know how many girls

I've ever slept with?

With or without

significantly different DNA?

One is the answer. Just you.

You were my first,

and you didn't even care.

- That's not fair.

- You suffocated me.

I felt like a kitten

in a plastic bag.

We had no chance.

But if you come home with me

now,

we can start again.

Did you break up with Jake,

or did he break up with you?

Why does that matter?

You only want me now

because other girls want me.

Then go sleep

with those other girls.

I might. I'm single.

That's a pretty big opportunity

for me.

I'm offering you

a second chance.

The timing is not ideal.

You sleep with those clones,

and we might not

even be friends.

Come on in. Water's fine.

I bet it is.

Don't be shy.

Cali.

Oh.

It's too late, Franck.

What about your girlfriend

in Paris?

Fini.

I don't believe you.

You never called,

and when you left,

you said

you weren't coming back.

I was taken by surprise.

I had to see you again.

Right.

Well, you're a phony,

just like the rest of them.

You're half a man.

Like your friend, uh, Astor.

He's more of a man

than you'll ever be.

In fact, he's about

the only real guy I know.

- What about George Clooney?

- He's a real guy.

Later, Franck.

Cali, I'm birding.

You want to join?

Hi.

It's so great

to be birding again.

I think I'm a convert.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Isn't this a funny thing to do?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Okay. Okay. Okay. All right.

Have a look in that tree.

A great horned owl.

Isn't he majestic?

- Yeah. I love it.

Yeah. Here.

It's beautiful.

You're beautiful.

They all kind of look the same

to me.

Not for me.

Birding's my passion,

like medicine is for you.

I can't wait to be a doctor,

to be taken seriously

for a change.

It won't be Mila or miss Klein.

It'll be, "yes, Dr. Klein.

Would you like a free upgrade,

Dr. Klein?"

Yes, I would, thank you.

"Is there a doctor

in the house?"

That'll be scary.

I don't know what I'd do

if that happened.

Wouldn't it be your duty?

I'm not gonna give

mouth-to-mouth

to some dirty homeless guy.

I guess that's beyond the call.

You're not gonna spend the

whole night flirting, are you?

- Of course not.

- Just that Cali's told me

that you've kissed

a lot of girls recently.

Cali told you that?

Is it true?

Excuse...

Busy bee.

Uh... I kissed a couple.

I mean, two separate people.

Not a guy and a girl, like...

Did she tell you that

before we got back together?

- I don't know.

- Does it matter? Oh, by the way.

You should probably

have a little more practice

before you dance in public.

Boop.

Shall I enroll

in some samba classes?

Hey.

Jenny!

Astor!

Hey.

Sorry.

You look awesome.

Who's a good boy?

Who's a good boy?

Come here.

Come on. Come on.
