How much longer on this?

...phone rings...

hello.

I was hoping I might

hear from you.

Look, Im sorry about last night.

But, you know how I get.

I lash out.

No. Nothing happened

with that guy.

I was just...

I was trying to make you jealous.

I wanted you to come run after me

And tell me not to go,

but you didn't.

No, I am not gonna

leave you alone.

Because Im still in love with you

And I want to be with you.

You can't just meet me,

for one night

Just one night.

I don't care... whatever you want.

We can get a hotel room,

it doesn't matter.

I'll see you then.

...phone rings...

yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hello.

Hi, it's Dara.

Dara, who?

Dara Flynn, who's this?

This is Linda. I'm Buzzy's sister.

Who are you?

Oh, Im sorry.

I'm Katies ex-Husband.

I have this vacuum cleaner

that I have to drop back to them.

Can you let me up?

Oh, well apparently,

I am not suppose

To let men up into

the apartment.

So, maybe I just better

come down and get it, huh?

Grand, cool, thank you.

Alright, just give me 5 minutes.

You know,

my nature is my nature.

I see a beautiful woman

I react, I respond.

I just had to ask her out...

you know?

So... go ahead love.

It's almost like... ah... you know...

Hello. Good afternoon. Come.

What was it about?

I mean, she's absolutely stunning.

I mean, you could sense there was

that sort of, you know, hurt.

In those sea blue eyes of hers'.

You know, a need, you know,

for kindness.

And she had that kind of Blanche Dubois

Like quality. You know, someone who

depends on the kindness of strangers.

So to speak.

Well, you know, I was uh...

I was excited and a little nervous

To go meet miles

And uh... there was

beer here in the fridge

I figured it would be good to go get

a couple of free drinks or something.

Oh, Katie just never understood the

temperament of an artist.

You know, she just really was

never emotionally in tuned

I think, to... to really

understand where I was coming from.

Yeah, they're like,

theyre so organized

You know, they like to have

everything in it's place and stuff.

No room for spontaneity.

Yeah! Yeah! You know,

I just like to let life take me

On a wild ride.

The road of excess leads

to the gates of wisdom, type of thing.

For example I don't drink anymore...

you know, because I...

I took that to

the gates of wisdom.

Because uh... for me as an artist,

I.. I feel that...

it's just more truthful,

more honest...

and that's I...

I think that's important, you know?

Um... what kind of artist are you?

Like a painter or something?

I'm an actor. Theatre actor.

Have you ever heard of mizner?

Oh, no. Is he a writer?

Oh, no... no... mizner was um...

God. How would

you describe mizner.

He was just a god, of sort of...

the rich... of the craft.

Indulge me for a second.

We'll do a small little exercise.

Alright, just breath,

shake yourself out, try to relax.

Center yourself.

Okay, right.

Stare into my eyes, okay?

Now just breath.

And allow whatever comes out,

comes out.

Whatever time.

Like talking?

Like talking. Perfect.

Wow, this is intense!

Wow, this is intense.

Was I hitting on her?

Ah, you know...

look. It's hard to say because..

As an artist, it's what I felt

with her... was that sort of connection.

It's a very spontaneous reaction.

And looking into her eyes, you know,

it seems... appropriate for the moment.

Oh, oh, there it is.

Hey! I... just met Katies ex-Husband, Dara.

Dara? Where'd you meet him?

Here. He came by to drop

off a vacuum cleaner.

But... I did not let him up...

because Katie said

Im not supposed to have

Strange men in the apartment.

Then you spoke to Kate.

And she was a little snippy with me.

Do me a favor, don't give me

any sh*t about Katie, alright?

She is being very generous

letting you stay here.

Yeah! Well she and

I wouldn't have a problem

If you hadn't told her

anything about last night.

Of course Im gonna to tell her!

She's my wife! This is her apartment!

Yeah! But she... comes at me

with all her judgments

And everything and I don't

need that from her.

Seriously, can you blame her?

I mean, given your performance

on the kitchen counter, I think...

wow! And I really,

really don't need that from you!

What is that supposed to mean?

Do you need which

is supposed to mean?

Do you even remember at all

what it was like when we were kids?

You bringing home a new girl every night

And dad friggin'

congratulating you about it?

Yeah, I was in college.

That was acceptable behavior,

You're an adult, staying

in this apartment.

No listen to me. I'm not mad at you!

Okay? And Im not judging you.

But she is going to be on my case

If that kind of behavior continues.

Alright now look.

I am happy to have you here

I miss you, it's great to see you

But can you please do me a favor

And just... you know, chill out

a little bit while you're here.

Okay... okay.

I'll chill out a little bit.

Oh... I should tell you...

I lost Katies coat.

You lost the coat that you took?

Yeah, but um...

I said Id replace it.

Trust me, you can not afford to

replace that coat.

Alright. I will take

care of that, but um...

I appreciate you making

this easy on me.

You want to tell the story?

You know, we met... uh I was training um..

Max at the gym...

So ah... listen to me... I been

meaning to tell you. My sister in law...

She is... hot piece of ass, right?

And the other day she

mentions how horny she is,

So uh...

if you want me to hook you up?

Why is your sister in law

telling you how horny she is?

No, she told Marsha,

Marsha told me, you know.

That's marriage for you.

What's the catch?

I mean, if she's such a great

looking girl, why is she single?

Obviously, I thought there must

have been something wrong with you,

Either you're mentally unstable

or maybe have the clap,

Fortunately neither is true.

Both of which appealed, apparently.

Cause you signed right up

for the first date, so.

Yeah. And then, yeah,

we went out and um...

pretty soon after ahh...

it got very serious and then,

I impetuously...

proposed one day,

As we were coming

back from dinner.

And...

what do you say?

Yes.

I said yes.

And here we are.

Here we are.

I was... I was pregnant

Um so... it was a big surprise but...

and I remember he had this gig

at this tiny little club.

And so, we went...

And um... he was up there

and he wrote this song

For me,

You did!

It was really sweet.

And he... he um...

proposed to me right there

In front of everybody.

Yeag I... I remember

being totally freaked out.

About the prospect of

becoming a father, and then...

I don't know.

The whole thing was kind of a blur.

It just happened so quickly.

But it was still sweet.

Those were some good times.

Back then.

Yeah.

I think the thing that she's

most upset about...

is that we can't our freak on.

And the room next door...

it's true. I like to be loud.

I'm sorry.

I can't do these dinners any more,

If you insist on talking
