You totally blew this out

of proportion, babe.

I just can't believe that this

happened this quickly.

Two days ago we were happy...

And now ah... she's questioning

Whether or not she knows me.

I don't... you know... I don't even...

Im at a loss for words.

Hey. Good morning.

Morning.

You want a coffee?

Thank you.

Sure. Great.

How'd you sleep?

Not so good.

I had a shitty night.

Well buzzy was out,

early this morning.

Yeah. He um... he trains a lot of clients,

before they go to work, so.

Do you want to hear something really funny?

Last night, I was totally teasing him, and I

told him that um... I was gonna go to a bar

And pick up some guy

and screw him in the bar.

Anyway, I just wanted to get

him back his stupid sex talk, but...

He hated it!... it was so funny!

Oh my god. So funny.

Yeah, you know what, Marsha?

It's not gonna work to have you stay here.

Right now. What? Whoa?

Where's this coming from?

You don't like buzzy, and

buzzy doesn't like you,

And I just got rid of his sister

And that drama, and I can not

have more drama

In my house, Im trying to

Make my marriage work.

So you're taking his side in this?

Yeah, I am, because

he's my husband

And we're trying to

work through something

And I have to make

that the priority.

Well, absolutely not!

You know, you stayed with

me when you needed a place.

And now I need a place,

so Im staying!

I'm staying!

Okay.

I'm gonna go back to bed.

Okay.

You know, Im going through a divorce!

I have problems too, you know.

I just took out, you know,

Look, she's got to get back to

L.A. And I don't even

Know what kind of life she's got in L.A.

So... better that she uh... has a little

money in her pocket when she gets home.

Alright? This is 2000 dollars.

Do me a favor? Don't

tell Katie I gave you this.

I don't need this much.

Yes, you do, alright.

It'll cover your flight

And then if you ever decide

to come back to new York...

Your gonna to buy yourself a nice coat

before you show up here. Alright?

I remember when

I was a kid, you'd

Come home and your life was a mess

How did you... how did you turn it around

and become a good guy,

With a normal life.

When I was in my 20's,

I was a complete screw up too.

I recognized...

if I continued with that kind of behavior...

I was gonna end up alone.

Alright, and I see you now,

and I see your behavior

And the same thing

is gonna happen to you.

Because, you know,

you're hurting yourself,

And youre hurting the people

that care about you.

Like me.

I really f***ed things up for you,

didn't I?

A little bit, yeah!

But, you know,

in a weird way, um...

A blessing in disguise.

Oh yeah. Like how?

It forced me...

to reevaluate some things...

you know, I need to make

some changes in my life.

Yeah, maybe...

maybe I feel a little guilty

I mean, Im her big brother and I

have no relationship with her.

You know. Ah...

I haven't seen her in years and...

I make no effort

to stay in touch, but ah...

I think now,

what Im gonna do is...

make more of an effort.

And try and check

in on her periodically

And maybe even get

out to L.A. and see her.

You're still here. Where's Katie?

You know, she's still sleeping.

Obviously, she's very upset

about something.

Oh. So you're... you're leaving?

You know, I had you pegged

from day one!

Coward!

Men are cowards.

I think max is a coward.

I think uh...

Katies first husband, Dara

Was definitely a coward

And I... I think buzzy...

you know, could be a coward too.

I mean, I think if things

get too complicated he'll...

he'll split.

And she'll be devastated.

What are you doing?

Oh, hey, you're up.

I um... Im packing a bag.

Why? What's happening?

Hey. Do you think you

have any underwear left?

Or did my sister

steal everything?

Buzzy, stop! What...

what are you're doing?

I need to get out of town.

And I would love it...

if you'd join me.

So... the car is parked outside.

I can't go anywhere.

I have to work!

On my first thought,

after I said "I do"

I... wished that

my parents were still alive.

To see it.

They were at my first wedding

Which... didn't work out.

Ah... and I think... I think they

would really like buzzy. A lot.

Uh... my first thoughts,

after we said:

"I do", well, I was pregnant

When we got married.

Um... 4 months pregnant

And I couldn't wait

to get my dress off.

Me too.

Yeah, but not for

the same reason.

My heart was thundering, pounding.

Boom, boom, boom!

After I said "I do"

I was genuinely happy.

You know, I got a...

I got a great girl, she's beautiful

She's very different, from Linda!

I mean the opposite,

complete opposite.

From Linda. Responsible...

responsible and loving...

you know, my real first thought...

Was... there's one more

blow job I could've got.

I... you know... my...

my whole life prior to meeting Katie

Was always... somewhat chaotic.

My childhood,

my college years, my twenties

Certainly my first marriage.

And... after meeting Katie

A peacefulness. Finally

entered my life.

So, I think the first thought I had

After I said "I do"

Was probably... a sense of...

tranquility or serenity?

You know, Katies a rock

And that is really what

I needed in my life.

I guess I finally felt...

at peace.

So... where to?

I have no idea, but I think

we need to get as far away

From any of our

relatives as possible.

And then what?

And then we'll talk.

Maybe work on getting to know

one another a little better.

Sounds good... let's go.
