Calm down, okay?

Relax?

You know what?

Let me drain your penis

and see how calm you'd be.

Listen.

You're going to be fine.

Just call your girlfriend,

explain what happened here,

go home, and get busy.

And don't stop.

Don't wait for an orgasm.

Just keep going until

your erection subsides

I don't have a girlfriend.

I am so sorry.

I'm sure he'll be here

any minute.

He doesn't show up

in five minutes,

I'll have to cancel.

Writers.

Tell me about it.

Hey.

Nathan, you're late.

What's wrong?

You sick?

Nathan talk to me.

What's wrong?

Oh, my God.

What is it?

I need to be drained.

I'll explain later.

You're gonna be all right?

Let's just get this

over with, okay?

- You walking okay?

- Yeah, it hurts.

A book came out last year,

a brutally honest portrayal

of a dysfunctional family

on the brink of implosion.

Ladies and gentlemen,

it is a great honor

to present to you the new voice

of a generation,

Nathan Meyerwitz.

Nathan.

Thank you.

"The far side of 30

and his desire

"had transformed

from a wondrous torrent

into something

curdled and r"...

Sh*t.

Sh*t.

Mother...

Oh.

"Inside a porno booth.

"A California

state-licensed architect

rooted out from the bowels

of Pee"...

There it is!

Okay. I'm fine.

No.

No, I'm not fine.

Oh.

God damn.

Um...

We're leaving.

Sorry, Jack.

We have bills to pay.

Wow.

I appreciate that you hung in

there as long as you did.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you

for all your hard work.

I'll pay you what I owe you.

I promise.

Take care of yourself, Jack.

Hello?

Mister Meyerwitz?

I'm calling to confirm

your reservation

at the Madison tonight.

12 people at 8:
00.

Yep. We'll be there.

I think your father will be

very happy with

your menu choices,

uh, Dom Prignon,

Chateau Lafite,

Beluga caviar.

I would be remiss, however,

if I did not inform you

that the market price

of the stone crab legs

have gone up to $60 a pound.

Do you still want them?

Your father does love them.

Oh, yes.

Wonderful.

We will see you tonight.

Good-bye.

Do you think he'll like it?

Of course he will.

All dads like

what their sons get them.

You don't know my father.

Mm. When are you gonna wash

this truck?

It's dirty.

Oh.

Thank you.

You know what I love about you?

My oar?

Ha! Besides that.

You are so sweet

and so thoughtful.

My husband never opened

the door for me.

He never listened to me.

Sorry, what were you saying?

Get in the car.

Almost here.

I know.

I can't believe I'm finally

gonna see your apartment.

Okay.

Here we go.

Yay.

Ooh, God.

You live here?

Well, it's just temporary,

till I, uh, move.

Yeah.

Okay.

You Wouldn't make it one day

in the army.

How about some wine?

Sure.

Okay.

Okay, baby,

this place is nasty.

It's... ew.

No, no. No, no.

Don't do that.

That's...

No, it's pine.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Lilac Valley.

Uh, yeah.

Um...

You could use order

in your life.

You need some...

discipline.

Yes, I know.

You're right.

You're absolutely right.

To order and discipline

in my life.

Better yet,

to a workin progress.

Work in progress.

Cheers.

EW.

Hey, Mary, could I talk to you

about something?

Yeah, sure.

Oh, baby, what is it?

What's bothering you?

Just tell me.

I just-

I need to ask you.

Am I anything like Jason

from the book?

No.

You know, all needy

and everything?

No. No, way.

Do you think

that I'm a loser?

No.

Why would you think that?

Who thinks that of you, Joel?

Who said that?

My father.

My Whole family.

Pretty much everyone I know.

Let me tell you something.

I don't hang out

with losers, okay?

And you know what,

You don't even have to go

to that dinner tonight

Yeah, I do.

I actually really do.

I just usually have Kimmy.

Yeah, she's very good, so...

Oh. Well, Kimmy good.

Lily better.

Here.

You have a...

I need a very good pedicure.

I am wearing

open-toed shoes tonight,

and I need to be

the prettiest girl in the room.

So...

Aw, you go out

with your husband?

No.

With your fianc?

- No my...

- The boyfriend?

No. Uh, my father.

Oh, you daddy's girl?

- Uh-huh.

Oh, that's so nice.

I don't remember my father.

He died.

My father and I are,

uh, very close.

We, um...

We're very close.

We're, uh...

basically best friends.

Like BFS.

Thank you for calling JMA.

Our office is currently closed.

Agh..

May I help you?

No, thank you.

Jack?

Spread your legs.

Jack?

Jack?

What are you doing?

My husbands in here.

Madam, this is a place

of business.

These gentlemen have a right

to their privacy.

Jack, I know you're in there.

I saw you Walk in the building.

Get the f*** out of here,

you crazy b*tch!

Jack?

You're going to have a brawl,

please take it outside.

Jack! Jack!

Gentlemen, we're having

an emergency.

The shop is closed.

Jack!

- I'm sorry, sir.

- Jack!

- Sorry, sir.

Leave. Good-bye, sir.

Jack?

Please come back again, sir.

Sir, I'm very sorry.

Madam!

- Jack!

- Madam, one second please!

Madam, please.

Sir.

The shop is closed.

I ask you to leave

your booth now.

I will count to three.

One, two...

Ugh.

Laura!

Laura, wait!

Where are you going?

We have to talk about this!

Hello?

Jack, it's Cheri.

And I need you to tell Nathan

that he cannot...

Shut up!

Laura!

Let me in.

This is ridiculous.

Let me in.

We have to talk.

I can't believe I found you

at that disgusting place,

inside one of those booths,

masturbating.

I don't jerk off in there.

I mean, that is worse

than cheating on me!

At least that's normal

if not typical.

But this...

This is... this is just...

This is ridiculous.

Honey, let me in.

I can't talk to you like this.

You said that Nate

made it all up!

How are you?

Are you gonna

tell me the truth?

Yes.

I'm waiting.

Everything in Peep World...

it's all true, all of it.

I needed to talk to somebody.

I confided in Nathan.

I didn't know he was gonna

put it in his book.

I didn't even know

what he was writing about.

When it came out, I was...

I was embarrassed.

It was humiliating.

I lied.

Laura.

What do you watch in there?

The usual.

What is that?

It's just the usual.

Laura, what's the point

of that?

How often?

Now and then.

How often?

- Now and then?

- What? Once a Week?

Twice a day?

What?

Stop it, will you?

You don't...

You just... you don't know

what it's like, Laura.

No, I don't..

I'm f***ing tired.

Okay?

Of what?

Of always having to be

the good one.

The good son.

The good brother.

I'm sick of all

the f***ing responsibility.

I hate it.

Well, um, that's

kind of too bad, Jack,

because you're gonna have

a lot more responsibility

in seven weeks.

I know.

That's what I'm afraid of.

What if I do to our son

what my father did to me?
