the film a hundred times.
She doesn't blink.
What?
Nothing.
Okay.
What?
Nothing, shhh watch the movie.
So with very little effort,
and the reflex time
of a garden snail,
how does a tortoise's
day compare to ours?
In the time it takes
us to drive 10 miles,
move about 100 feet.
While we eat an entire meal,
he has nibbled on some vegetation.
And as we spend a day filming
another sequence,
for him, it's time for a nap.
The tortoise's way of
making up for that,
isn't to eat more, but to do less.
Good morning, sunshine.
Hey.
I know you're like a
bear with a sore paw
when you don't get
your caffeine fix so.
Thanks.
You know they say this stuff
is actually flammable.
You missed a call.
Thanks.
Voicemail received.
Yeah, I'm just gonna brush my teeth,
and then the bathroom's all yours.
Okay.
You all set?
Why haven't you told me about her?
Excuse me.
Who's Kristen?
She's just a woman I know, why?
I think it's a little
bit more than that.
Okay.
Seriously, Brandon?
I mean you're not gonna
tell me about her?
I knew it, I knew it,
that day in the store
when you picked up that text message,
I knew something was up.
Why couldn't you tell me?
What do you want to hear Veronica?
I saw a picture of
you and her kissing.
Is this new, how long
has it been going on?
So you woke up and
you went to my phone?
No Brandon, the phone woke me up,
and I was startled by the picture.
Startled, really?
Isn't that a little bit extreme,
Ronnie?
To wake up in a bed
that I shared with you
to that picture,
you tell me.
We didn't share the bed, Ronnie.
We fell asleep watching a movie.
What?
Just,
just get me home.
Hi honey.
Hey.
Welcome home, hotshot.
Oh, thank you, sorry I'm late.
Traffic was hell.
Of course.
God I missed you.
and so do you.
What's this?
That is a birthday present
for your grandnephew.
I figured with all the traveling,
you wouldn't have time,
so I picked it up for you.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Why don't you open up that bottle
of wine right there, do you mind?
I tried but I couldn't.
So, how was the trip?
Got some good shots.
I think the publisher's gonna
like the direction it's going.
Can't wait to see it.
What?
Nothing.
Okay.
Would you mind lighting the candles?
Sure.
You know how I am with fire.
I can't believe that he's been
seeing her for six months,
and he's never mentioned
her to me, not a word.
I mean, I mean call me crazy but,
when you know someone
that long and that well,
doesn't it seem odd,
and why has he never
introduced me to her?
I don't care.
Come here.
You are fantastic.
Stay with me tonight.
No.
She's out of town on business.
I can't.
I don't want to get used to this.
Well, I guess that's something
I'll have to get used to.
You know there's something
I've been meaning to ask you.
I have a client who's
looking for a rare book,
and we can't seem to find it.
What is it?
It's called the Emerald Whaler,
written by William Jr Lowbenstein.
Lubby.
Oh, you've heard of him?
Maybe.
Well, I need a first edition,
1960, signed copy.
Can you find that for me?
It'll be rare, expensive,
and if I say yes will
that persuade you
to stay with me tonight?
No.
But it'll make me very happy.
Can I help you find something?
Oh hi, yes thank you.
Well I'm looking for a book about
dating after divorce.
Hmmm,
well I'm not sure reading a book's
really gonna help you.
What would you look for in a man?
Well that varies actually.
But he doesn't have to be
a saint though, does he?
I tell you what, why don't you
make me a list of attributes
that I might possess,
which will be attractive to a woman,
such as yourself.
Trent.
Need your help.
Someone will come and help you.
I can wait until you're through.
I'm sorry.
No it's just that I've
been married for 30 years,
and now, newly single.
Well, being a gentleman
never goes out of style,
and women love honesty.
Brandon?
Hey.
Hi Trent.
What?
Let me take care of this guy.
Why?
He's cute, he's single,
I thought you'd be thrilled
that I'm talking to him.
He's gay.
No.
Trust me.
He is?
I know it.
Worked it out with Brandon,
he's cuter.
Fine.
Hey.
Seriously?
You pitch a fit up in Pismo
and now you're not taking my calls.
Ronnie, clearly you're upset,
but I haven't a clue--
Don't you understand why I'm upset?
Please, please, tell me what exactly
I'm dealing with here.
You lied to me, you kept secrets.
I lied?
What did I lie about?
Okay, I haven't mentioned
Kristen to you, but lied?
It's a lie by omission.
A what?
If you lead someone
to believe one thing,
based on your words and your actions
and then it turns out to be
something completely different,
that's a lie.
I still don't get it.
Of course you don't.
I didn't lie, I just didn't tell you.
Yeah, well that's just
guys' slight of hand.
Where am I going?
Goodbye Brandon.
We're not done here.
Yes we are.
I'll call you later.
He didn't technically lie to you.
Don't you start now.
Veronica,
he doesn't owe you anything.
He owes me respect.
I couldn't care less that
he's seeing somebody,
but hiding it from me?
Telling somebody that
you've never lied,
asked a specific question,
doesn't somehow make the truth.
Wasn't Trent fantastic
the other night?
Oh, the show was great.
I'm so proud of you.
Thank you, not too blue?
No.
Well, you did push the
envelope a little bit,
but yeah, it was really good.
Why didn't you do your bit
about the royal family?
Well I like to think
I have a little more
originality than that.
Huh.
Huh?
You know I was laughing so much
I had tears rolling down my cheeks.
Really?
You know you should do more comedy.
I think you may have
missed your calling.
Maybe I will.
Still not speaking with him?
No.
- Who?
- Brandon.
What did he do now?
Well he didn't do anything wrong.
You tell it, what did he do?
Is a lie by omission a lie,
or is it the truth?
But there's no truth in a lie.
But it's not a lie if no
one actually said anything.
Schschm...
Is what Brandon didn't tell you,
not said maybe to
spare your feelings?
Look it doesn't matter how I feel.
I thought we were closer than that,
each other everything.
Now I, I don't trust him anymore.
Bring me up to speed here.
Okay, here's what happened.
Ronnie found out that Brandon
has been seeing someone.
So?
For over six months?
Oh honey, he has feelings for you.
He's been single for
almost five years.
He's never made a move on me.
He's never even offered
me any kind of affection,
other than friendship.
And we've always had this
open line of communication
when it comes to dating.
I mean, we practically
tell each other everything.
So you were closer with
Brandon than anyone else?
Don't you think it's kind of odd
