Oh I'm sorry.
See you later.
You know it.
Ronnie, you just went through
Don't you think you need
a little time to heal?
Heal from what?
My relationships always
have an expiration date.
It's a matter of when, not if.
And you don't see
anything wrong with that?
Okay, you know what your problem is?
You're emotionally claustrophobic.
Look,
I'm not looking for a relationship.
Lord knows the drama
that comes with one,
I have right here with you.
Oh, okay.
Gorgeous.
Thank you.
Sorry I'm late, life.
Excuse me, sir.
Scotch neat, please.
So, tell me,
what changed your mind?
Oh, I see.
Well I'm sorry it didn't work out.
That's the last lie you're
ever going to tell me.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Sure.
Are you okay with the
fact that I'm not yours,
and I never will be.
I know my place and I'm
comfortable with it.
Else, I wouldn't be here.
Cheers?
Cheers.
Aside from my wife?
No.
Let me lay it out for you now.
Do, please.
I have been mad about you
since the day we met,
and I can't stop thinking about you.
I'm not leaving my wife.
But I have to be with you.
You are very quiet this morning.
I just wish someone knew
how I really want it to be.
Do tell.
Well, I know it sounds selfish but,
there are times when I wish a guy
would pay attention to my needs
as much as he pays attention to his.
So, safe to say that Adam
will only be filling our
shelves from now on.
No, I don't know about that.
Look, what you need,
is a guy that isn't
splitting his focus,
like Brandon.
Trent, you know me,
as soon as I get into a
relationship I push them away.
It's how I'm wired, it's who I am.
And I don't want to
do that to Brandon.
Well if Brandon is any evidence
of how you push people away,
then you my dear are very bad at it.
I tried, he just wouldn't leave.
I've grown to love our friendship.
But that was him, it's all him.
So I guess we are back to square one.
Well,
can we see this when we're up there?
Oh, butterflies.
It's gonna add a couple
hours to our trip.
I'm not in any hurry to get back.
All right, we'll see.
Hi.
Hi, sleepy head.
Where are we?
Come on, I'll show you.
Oh my God, the butterflies.
Thank you.
Now I feel bad about falling asleep.
I wonder how many
butterflies come here.
I don't know about that,
but at least 100,000
humans come here each year.
This is unbelievable.
Did you know that these butterflies
have a lifespan of six months,
whereas the common monarch
only lives for six weeks.
Wow.
Say cheese.
Cheese.
Oh it's pretty.
Wow.
Hey, your clothes, can we move them?
That's my bed.
Sorry.
Hey, you hungry?
Yeah, I could eat.
You want to go out or you want
to get something delivered?
then we can watch a movie on TV.
Oh, that's a good idea.
I'm sure there's a
God, not pizza.
You love pizza.
I've eaten a lot lately.
Okay well,
I guess that only
leaves us one option.
Dinner is served.
And don't say anything,
you wanted to see the butterflies,
so that's what you get.
Otherwise you would
have been home by now.
Well, it was worth it.
I know you're used to fine cuisine
at five-star hotels,
but this is as good
as it's gonna get.
What do you got there?
Rollos?
Maybe.
Okay, catch.
Thanks.
Can I ask you something?
Yeah, anything, what?
I get the VIP treatment,
What do you see in these
guys that you go out with?
Well, they fit into my schedule,
and they don't ask questions.
Is that enough for you?
Well, it has been so far.
I like my independence,
I liked deciding
what I want to do and when,
and I like having the freedom
of not being tied down.
So that's it?
Yeah, that's it.
I like my life the way it is.
It's not complicated.
And besides the most honest
relationships I've ever had,
have been when I've been a mistress.
But...
don't you want emotional intimacy?
I know you, you have the
most beautiful soul Veronica.
I just don't get it.
I have just learned not to need it.
Besides I have friends for that.
I have Trent, I have you.
And I have Steve.
So it's all about the
physical with these men?
No, it's about making my life easier.
I don't have to invest.
I can walk away when I want to.
Well, that's a pretty
pathetic way to live.
I mean sure maybe you don't
get hurt along the way,
but years from now?
Don't you judge me,
I mean you fix your insecurities
with the occasional woman
who feeds your ego,
and I fix mine by not letting
anyone know all about me.
I mean we're basically
doing the same thing,
but in different ways.
And yes, it can get tiresome
to always have to
stay on my game but,
beats the alternative.
And the alternative is what?
Having a meaningful,
valuable relationship
with a man that you're intimate with?
Look I know, I've been
guilty of feeding my ego.
But in the meantime,
I know deep down what I really want.
Do you think for a second
there haven't been some
of these one-nighters
that I didn't have some
hope that maybe, just maybe,
I'd meet somebody special?
No.
No?
To me,
the alternative's being vulnerable
and being vulnerable,
vulnerable people get hurt,
and I just don't want
that to happen to me.
And are you really so
deluded that you think
that a one-night stand could
be any more than that?
By very definition it's nothing more
than a one-night affair.
I'm not trying to
pick a fight with you.
We just have never had
this discussion before.
I'm just trying to understand.
Chalk it up to being a better friend.
And you're right,
a one-night stand is just that.
I've just never known
anyone like you, that's all.
And since we're sharing,
why don't you tell me the
story about your divorce,
and why haven't you ever told me?
Well, we met in photography school,
and...
as soon as we graduated
we really struggled to find work.
But I just kept feeding
my passion for shooting
landscapes and coastlines,
and in the process I built a career,
but she was still floundering.
She couldn't find her voice,
you know?
Well that's a dangerous
place for an artist.
And time went on and,
I was being published,
and her career was stagnant and,
more and more, she just
wouldn't even look at my work,
like she resented me.
I think she fell out of
love with photography,
and in the process,
fell out of love with me also.
It's sad.
The one thing that brought
the two of you together,
is the one thing
that drove you apart.
And I didn't tell you because,
even though you weren't
the cause of my divorce,
you were definitely a symptom
of the erosion of my partnership.
What are we gonna watch?
Hitchcock.
Hitchcock, he made a lot of movies.
Hitchcock, the movie.
You'll like it.
Scooch over.
You ready.
Darling, we've watched
