me about everything.

I'm not digging!

I want all of this with you

but I don't f***ing

need to talk about

everything from my past, okay?

But I'm here for that too,

I'm not here just

for fun and for now.

I know

you're not here for fun!

And for parties.

I wanna know

everything about you.

I wanna know your mom is sick

and I wanna know you have

a sister that is dead

and I wanna know that

you have an ex wife

that is so important

in your f***ing family.

I wanna know everything of this.

Because I think I should know!

Gabi, please!

You're not talking to me

about that.

I tried to talk to you

but then--

You're not

talking to me about that!

It's not f***ing

good enough for you.

Just talk to me!

Everything I do

is not good enough.

Gabi I don't wanna

f***ing talk about it.

- Why not!

- Because there's sh*t--

- Why not!

- There's sh*t you

don't wanna talk about.

I wanna talk about

everything with you!

No, let's talk about the sh*t

you don't wanna talk about.

Let's talk about all

the guys you f***ed

the night we met.

F***ing a**hole.

You're a f***ing a**hole.

The very definition of humanity

is changing as we know it.

And that's only happened

like three times ever.

- Right.

- First.

There was a gradual transition

from hunter gatherer

to agriculture.

Yeah.

Then, this part's

gonna blow your mind,

there was the flushable toilet,

which, I already

f***ed up, sorry dude.

No, it's okay.

Ignore my penmanship,

and that is my favorite part,

and that's what is robbing us

of our understanding

of what it means to be human.

It is literally destroying

our emotional spectrum.

There's only like or shame,

pleasure or pain,

all extremes no gray,

which is funny, because

it was our grayness

that made us human all along.

What do you think?

It's good, I like

the emotional spectrum

and that being the

grayness, it's cool,

as long as it doesn't

get cheesy at the end.

In the wrong hands it

could get a little.

How's Quinn?

She's good, she's great.

Can't believe it, man.

What?

10 years, that's f***ing crazy.

- 10 years.

- I know next Tuesday.

Jeez.

How's gabi?

She's good.

Good.

Do you love her?

I think so.

I think I love her, yeah.

Strong enough, because

you're so strong,

maybe we have to do something.

Hey.

- Oh hey.

- How are you?

Good.

I have a consultation

appointment with Tim.

- With Tim?

- You're not Tim.

No no, he's gonna be here,

hi, I'm hiding myself.

I'll go over here.

I know you right?

- What?

- Wait.

- Oh yeah.

- From covelle.

- Yeah.

- Yeah yeah.

You're there every night.

You eat there with

your girlfriends.

Yeah, well I manage the place.

- Oh really?

- So I'm there every night.

Oh my god I love that place.

Tim is coming in a minute,

if you wanna sit down.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

- I'll wait, yeah.

- Sure.

Okay let's move your leg now.

F*** yes, out like a light.

- Yeah?

- Yup.

You still not on Facebook?

Still not on Facebook.

Bethany might have blocked me.

Maybe she's not on Facebook.

She was.

Maybe she's off.

You can delete an

account, right?

Yeah, but.

Probably deleted it.

I don't think you

can delete it for good,

it's still there somewhere.

That's what creeps me

out about the Internet,

it's like everything

is always still there.

Has Quinn seen her?

No.

Last I heard she moved

to Santa Monica to like

do music licensing or something.

F***.

Could sit here all day.

Hey.

Hi gabi.

Hi, how was that?

- It was good.

- Yeah?

It was really good yeah.

Yeah, he's the best.

He worked me good.

I was thinking about when

when I was getting my therapy,

there's this amazing party

tonight with this chef

Charlie Dominic, have

you heard of him?

Yeah, you know him?

Yeah we're close,

let's just say we're close,

but he's having this

private dinner tonight.

Would you wanna come with me?

No, I have some

stuff to do, sorry.

No, no no no.

No no no, I won't

take no for an answer.

I can't, I've done all this.

I feel like I almost

even came here

to see you, even though I

didn't know you were here but.

I just think about

that, and make my night.

Bye.

Bye.

Oh my god.

My baby.

Oh my god I missed you.

I missed you.

I missed you so much.

I'm so bored here.

Hey, how are ya?

Hey, good yeah, how are you?

Yeah good good,

how come you're back?

Just down for the weekend.

Right.

No but for

real, tonight we are going

to some salsa at los

globos at eight P.M.

So you buddy, you're

coming with us, okay?

I'll try.

I'll do my best.

Well, I mean you missed

my going away party.

- I did.

- So I just wanna

put it out there that

you do owe me a drink.

How is Claire treating you?

Hey.

I thought you had an

early appointment.

I just washed those.

I didn't know.

Want a tea or

coffee or anything?

What's wrong?

Baby.

Hey.

Why're you upset?

What's going on?

What's up?

You okay?

I think we have a problem.

Why what's up?

I cheated on you

last night, I'm sorry.

Martin.

Do you wanna tell me something?

Do you want to

tell me something?

What?

I did the same.

I'm sorry.

Do you still love me?

Yeah.

I never felt like

this for anyone before.

We can make this work.

We can figure it out.

Please?

Yeah.

We can fix it.

Yeah.

It was something

freeing about, I

thought f*** it,

you only live once.

Because it was new,

and it was exciting.

What would happen if you,

if you shared your feelings?

If you told gabi

what you told me?

I don't think I

could tell her that.

He will think I'm

a monster.

She'd think I was

a different person,

that I wasn't who she loves.

What if you

found out that she related?

To you, what if

you found out that

the two of you had a

lot more in common?

You might be surprised.

Maybe love is not enough.

Maybe we're not in love.

I am in love, I am

in love, I know that,

but maybe it's not enough.

I wanna give you

guys a challenge.

When you go home I want

you to sit down and

try to be 100% honest

with each other

about anything,

just for an hour.

And it can be small.

In fact it should be to start.

It's gonna take some time

and a little bit of courage.

It takes courage to me in love.

- Okay.

- Alright.

You say something honest

and then you take a sip.

You cannot drink if you are not

saying something honest first.

Okay.

Okay.

With how many people

did you sleep?

That'll be around,

I mean I don't keep count,

but it's gonna be high 20s-ish.

How old were you

when you lost your virginity?

I was 16 I was

thinking that he was

so so sexy and I was excited

and we had sex a few times

and then he stopped

talking to me

after it, so I went

back to Barcelona

and then next summer

I came back here

and then I saw this guy again

and he wanted to have

sex with me again

but then I,

I f***ed his friend instead.

Why, what?

I don't know.

I don't know, I was 16, so.

When I was nine I would,

I can't believe I'm

telling you this,

I would watch my

sister in the shower.
