Depending on how things go.

A year or two?

That's a long time.

What're you gonna do with Angie?

Angie's gonna come.

Really?

Yeah?

Managed to convince her

mother that it

would be a mistake

not to allow her this

kind of opportunity.

Her brain is like a

little sponge right now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, it's so good

for kids to travel.

They learn other

languages and cultures.

Yeah.

She's lucky to have you.

I'd like you to come.

You could spend time with

your family, your friends.

We can make new ones together.

Yeah.

It's like, I don't know,

because I have my job here,

my friends, I have like

this whole life down here.

We could have a life there.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

When is this happening?

Two weeks.

These are the best

soft scrambled

eggs I've ever had.

What did you do to them?

It's like the details.

All the details.

Yeah.

I gotta make a call.

Okay.

Okay.

That's why I

don't think they're right.

Okay.

Excuse me, I'll be one second.

Pharmacy.

Martin?

Hey.

Hey, sorry,

I didn't know you were at work.

Yeah, no no, it's good.

How are you?

I got your email,

I thought about

emailing back but,

I thought it'd be

better if we spoke.

I asked Quinn for this number.

Always flip your car over.

Daddy.

Oh hi, honey.

The TV isn't playing.

Gabi, can you?

Yeah, sure.

Thank you so much.

It was the other time

when he was in New York

and he followed all the steps.

Hey.

What's going on with the TV?

I tried but, all

it did was go red.

- Okay, let's see.

- That's all it did.

What about?

That's what I was talking about!

That's what I was talking about.

Okay.

- This is Blake.

- Blake, nice to meet you.

Does a lot of

great legal work for us.

Blake, nice to meet you.

Yeah, it's

great to have Blake here.

Would you like a glass of wine?

- Yeah.

- Cocktail?

Wine's great.

Hey!

Hey hey hey hey.

Hey, where're you going?

Why is she here?

She works with me,

I thought you guys were friends.

I want her out.

Come on, don't be

silly, she is here.

No I want her out right now.

No.

I just want her

to leave right now,

I'm right here with this.

I'm not kicking her out.

Now stop being like

a f***ing teenager,

okay, you're embarrassing

yourself and me.

Okay.

Me and Martin we only talked,

we just talked okay?

You should know that,

you should know that.

I don't care what

you're doing with Larry.

Talk to me for a second.

Thank you.

It's good to see you, Martin.

Yeah, you too.

Congratulations again,

on the baby.

Oh yeah.

Yeah, it was a

surprise, definitely.

But it was the best thing

that's ever happened to me.

Yeah?

I know that sounds cliche but,

but it's true.

No, it's not, it's not cliche,

I mean if it wasn't.

What's his name?

Dylan.

Yeah, I know.

It's a good name.

Like Bob.

I wanted to see you in person

to tell you I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Martin.

You don't have to say that,

you have nothing

to be sorry about.

I'm the one,

I should apologize.

For blaming you.

That was unfair of me.

It wasn't your fault or mine.

We were just kids playing house.

Are you happy?

I am.

But you know what

the funny thing is,

it's not very exciting.

It's kinda boring,

predictable.

I don't know, maybe

that's just adulthood.

Are you happy?

Are you happy?

You're seeing someone.

You have a girlfriend?

No.

Can I see Dylan?

Do you have any photos?

Yeah, sure.

Oh my god.

He is--

He's very alert.

Always amazed looking

and he was fat, like obese.

Oh no.

Oh my god.

Look at his arms.

He was chunky, right.

He's my heart.

He's so cute.

I'm really, really

happy for you, that's.

Yeah.

You should go back to work.

Thank you for making

time to stop by.

It's good to see you.

Thank you for the water.

It's la's finest.

You consider my offer?

You know I'm leaving soon,

it's be nice to know.

You don't think

we have to talk first?

About what?

About yesterday, last night?

Well, the way that I see it,

I invited some friends,

you felt out of place,

then Blake arrived

and for some reason you

went a little crazy and,

I'm fine with that but,

beyond that I'm really

not all that interested,

no I'm not in all honesty.

You don't wanna know what

I was doing last night?

We can run around

in circles here.

Help me help you,

what is it you need?

Why you don't take me seriously?

Seriously?

Yeah.

This entire relationship

was based upon me

not taking you seriously.

It's how you

introduced yourself.

It's what you are.

By your actions, it's

what your proving to be.

I'm fine with that, okay?

Do you wanna know how an

adult relationship works?

Do you want me to

be transparent?

This is a transaction.

I give you a necklace,

you look at the ocean with me.

I give you a place to stay,

you play Patty cakes

with my daughter

and you sleep in my bed.

We go to Europe

and you spend time

with your friends, your family

and we live like

f***ing royalty.

And you spare me whatever

perverted bullshit

you have to do in order to feel

somehow whole.

You want transparency?

You got transparency, okay?

I'm sorry, that was harsh.

That's okay.

I get what you want,

but I think you

are wrong about me.

I think you don't

care to know me

and you don't know me at all.

Okay let's talk.

No.

No, I mean.

We say sometimes things

we don't mean actually,

but I think you don't

care to know me at all,

to know if you mean it or not.

It's easy or nothing

with you, right?

It's okay.

You have your whole

life all set, right?

It's done.

I have not even started

mine and I don't know,

I don't know how

I'm gonna do it,

but I'm gonna start mine.

And I don't wanna

do it with you.

I think I want

something of my own now.

I want something serious.

I thought I didn't want it,

but I do want it.

I don't know if I deserve it,

but I want to try it,

and I think that

if I try it hard,

maybe I find a way with you.

Because when we're

together, it was magic.

You say something.

It just can't be how it was.

I know, I know.

You do?

Yeah.

If I say it, I know, I do know.

I don't want it like before,

I don't want it like before.

You know when I

said I was in before,

I wasn't,

not all of me.

I was afraid but.
