The house has a wonderful flow.

Excellent for entertainment,

or an indoor / outdoor lifestyle.

Each room is connected.

Great, right?

- The kitchen.

With all the modern appliances.

And there is a smaller bedroom.

Excellent for children.

It's peaceful here, huh?

The garden looks much work.

You'd be surprised how well

maintains itself.

The roof shows old.

The kitchen yet?

The marble is beautiful.

Thanks.

- Thanks to come.

Got my card yet?

- Yes, we keep in touch.

Thanks again.

- You too.

Bye.

Hello?

Hello? Carl?

- Hi, Alice.

I'm down here.

Have you been hiding?

How was it?

Easy.

Was it that bad?

- A difficult trade.

We can wait few months,

and see if it resolves itself.

I know you have other plans

the house had.

It's okay.

Sorry.

I am always there for you, Alice,

If you only want to talk.

Thanks, Carl.

Bye.

- Bye.

What do you think of it like this

room serves as a nursery?

I thought we would take a dog?

Idiot.

The car was a total.

- My car, do you mean?

Oscar let you drive with your

car in the snow.

I drove not.

- Who is?

Walter?

When he returned from Berlin?

- Within two weeks.

Is there still some of that wine?

You're doing great.

Have you recently talked to him?

Not really. I said

I sell the house.

Well done.

He found me irrational act.

He said:
Too emotional.

His favorite.

You can tell him you

half the mortgage paid.

Seriously, put it aside.

Maybe it's something positive.

A new beginning.

Did your therapist?

- That I can not pay.

You're such a lightweight.

Only a few dates ...

but do you really think he

can be true?

Alice, are you awake?

- I'm awake.

What I said just then?

- You have a good feeling about him.

Jennie.

Are you above?

Where are you?

Are you there?

This might be no joke.

Are you there?

Very nice.

I love the marble.

I love it.

Feeling at home.

Alice, I am.

I'll just pick up my golf clubs

the hot tub and watch.

Are you home?

I'm in Hollywood, so I'm fast.

Alice?

Anybody home?

Hello.

Hello.

- I am ...

Josh, the former Alice.

I'm Lila, just visiting.

Alice is at home?

- No, she's not there.

I had the timer on the hot tub view.

Go ahead.

What is the temperature?

Perfect.

- Great.

How long are you here?

Few days.

Maybe longer. Depends.

Would you like to fill my glass?

The bottle on the table.

Of course.

Would you?

- I'm a good start.

You somewhere?

- Not really. Some shopping.

I see.

Can you tell Alice that I had been here?

Of course.

Pleasant.

May I ask you something personal?

Yes?

I doubt whether I should

tell you something about Alice.

But first I must ask you something.

What are your true feelings for her?

- True feelings?

Are you still in love?

I still like her.

But not love.

Why?

- No idea.

Probably disappeared.

Therefore we set.

What was this information?

Come on, drink some wine.

Of a glass you're not dead.

Okay.

What have you to tell me?

You're whole business.

No, I just feel

you dolt with me.

What if so?

Anyone else know?

- No.

Nothing serious.

Why, Alice is? Is that it?

No.

Maybe.

I'm not sure.

Do you have a relationship?

- Someone.

How did you work?

- We have an open relationship.

Is that so?

And do you like?

- Yes.

First, it is depressing when you

realize you have other desires.

How do you say something against the

person you completed?

But if you enter along the border ...

and you're honest with each other ...

can you closer together.

You tell him everything?

That's part of the deal.

And you believe everything he says?

Of course.

Innocent.

Feeling guilty about something?

- No.

Neither do I.

You really ...

You owe me one of them.

What did you tell me?

I'll tell on one condition.

You need the water.

- No chance.

What if Alice sees me?

They will kill me.

She will not be back soon.

Did she not say that I

the house only?

And?

Look, all wet.

Now you have to.

We would not ...

- Stop.

David?

It's so quiet here.

I can not wait to meet the neighbors.

It was nice today, right?

Want to Set the video after dinner?

She had good taste.

It's a pretty long day.

David.

You're glad I'm back?

Goodnight, David.

Goodnight, Lila.

Bye, see you tonight.

You can do it.

Good. Move your feet.

I'm sorry that I hit you.

It does not have to be.
