You know...

[Oakley exclaims]

Are you doing anything?

You guys know kombucha

is good for you, yeah?

Get those bowels moving.

Gotta ride on

the 'bucha train.

Sweetie, delete that.

- Abby?

- Franky!

Well, how did it go?

Oh. Yeah, no.

I didn't audition.

I'm not up for this.

Oh.

What are you

doing here?

I help out here

when I have the time.

Danielle?

Go get 'em.

["Two Of Us On The Run" playing]

There are two of us

On the run

Going so fast, every doubt

We had is coming undone

And falling behind with

Everything we left there

We held on

For far too long

And now we pass so many

People on the road

Franky!

[music continues

over headphones]

[incoming call]

Hey, J,

do you have a minute?

Hey, yeah.

What's up, Tash?

I'm just plugging away

on a deadline.

Um...

We've become friends over

the past few months, right?

Yeah.

What, are you trying to

tell me it's over now?

No. No.

It's just... Well, you know,

I don't want you to get hurt

is all.

[Jed] Well, why

would I get hurt?

Well, you know because of

Franky's situation or whatever.

No, I don't know.

[Tasha] Her being married?

I...

I didn't know Franky

was married.

Sh*t.

I just thought you knew.

Um...

J, it's not your fault.

She doesn't have a relationship

status on her Facebook profile,

so really there's no way

you would have known.

[Oakley] Tasha,

get your ass over here.

Listen, I gotta run, but...

talk later, okay?

[line disconnects]

Thank you.

What's the temperature

in there?

Frigid.

This is my fourth

audition today,

and I feel like I've bombed

ever single one of them.

You'll do great.

Thanks.

[knock on door]

Good to see you.

Hey, Jed, I know I wouldn't

normally say this,

but, please put on

some pants.

It's just been tough to

do much today.

Here you go.

Whoo! All right.

What are we doing tonight?

Um, I think I'm gonna...

sleep.

Okay, I get it. I'm sorry

that this girl was married.

I feel terrible for you,

seriously.

It's my job

to take you out

so you can

forget about it.

Besides, do you know

how hard it is

to get a same day bro pass

from your fiance?

It's unheard of.

I wouldn't,

'cause I'm not married.

It's impossible.

[cell phone vibrating]

That's where you

keep your phone?

Yeah, I'm not

gonna get that.

- What?

- I'm not gonna get it.

- Jed, you are gonna get that.

- No, I'm not gonna get it.

This is the universe reaching out

to you in the form of Usher.

You don't screen

Usher's phone calls.

You can screen

CeeLo's phone calls.

- I'm not picking it up.

- You pick that phone up.

No, I'm not gonna

pick it up.

Okay, I...

I hear you.

You just kinda wanna be

sad, sad Jed tonight.

I'll leave you be.

[Usher] Dude,

"Hashtag discover Franky."

Genius, man.

[whispers]

I'll f***ing kill you.

Hello?

Hello? Jed?

Hello.

- Jed.

- Hey, Usher.

[whispers]

I don't know what to say.

You're trending again, bro.

[whispers] Speaker phone!

You gotta get off

your phone and get out.

Let's get out, man.

Yes. I'm actually with

a friend now, so...

Great. Bring him.

Is he down?

Uh, let me check.

Uh, are you down?

- What?

- I don't know. Just generally speaking.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I'm down.

Yeah, he's down.

- Almost too down.

- Way down.

All right. Listen, I'll

text you where we'll be.

Just come straight to

the VIP.

Okay now, then.

Um...

- [whispers] Bye!

- Bye.

- Okay, Jed?

- Yeah.

What did international

pop superstar Usher

have to say?

He...

just wants to see if we

wanna go hang out with him.

Oh, he wanted to see

if we're gonna...

Yeah, if we wanted

to hang out?

Yeah.

In case we didn't want to

hang out with Usher.

Yep.

- Usher?

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I feel like

we should.

I just don't wanna make it

a crazy night.

No. Okay. Yeah.

All right.

Well, we better, uh...

cover this up, huh?

Let's get some pants.

[door opens]

[door shuts]

I am so sorry.

Um, actually...

there's something

I wanna say.

No, you don't have to.

I was a dick.

I...

Please let me say it.

Okay.

Franky, it's...

become...

very clear to me

that we want

different things in life.

- I know what you're gonna say, and you don't...

- Franky...

And it is unfortunate

that it's taken till now

to figure that out.

And, um...

you know that I have

so much love for you.

I can't be with someone

who is wondering if their

life would be more fulfilling.

I... I just...

I wanna be with someone

who wants the same

things I want.

But I want the same things

you want, babe.

I do. It's...

all I want.

And today I realized

that was a dream

I once had.

What about in 12 months?

You start to get

that itch again,

and you start

wondering what if...

I won't. I just...

We're gonna have a baby

by then anyway.

In fact, you know,

maybe I'm not...

making myself clear.

I think it would be...

irresponsible

- to bring a child...

- [cell phone rings]

[exclaims]

- I'm turning it off.

- No, just take it.

- No, I'll put it off.

- Please take it.

I need a breather.

Hey, Abby,

let me call you back.

Hey, I'm so sorry about

my behavior earlier,

and you can cut me out

later for it, but first,

you ought to get

your tits behind a bit

because it's between you

and another girl.

What?

Good night. Good night.

Good night.

You heard me, b*tch.

This isn't funny, Abigail.

It's no joke.

They're gonna

call you tomorrow.

Girl, you were amazing.

I told you. If you come to the

city, you'd totally tear it up.

I told you that, right?

You remember?

I can't believe this.

Oh, my God. Um...

Abby, let me call you back.

No, you better take me

as your date to the Tonys.

Stop talking.

Stop talking.

Okay...

Bye.

[techno music playing]

[Jed] Oh... Oh...

Get down.

There you go.

[Will] Is this the after-party?

This place looks

like sh*t.

[Jed] No, this is the after

after-party, buddy.

Okay.

Let's get you down here.

- Here.

- [grunts]

Ah, there you go.

Okay.

Oh.

[sighs]

Will...

- Will.

- Yeah?

Why didn't you tell me

that you and Dave met

on the Internet?

I was embarrassed.

I...

I didn't...

want you thinking that I

couldn't get a guy like Dave

in real life.

But it's only

been better, man.

Because

things were staggers...

- No, it's...

- Stag... Stag...

Staginart.

Stagnant.

Things were stagnant.

And then, a couple of guys

reached out to me

on Grindr.

I left it open,

and Dave saw.

And he got crazy jealous

and then he locked it up.

Smooth sailing.

[Will snoring]

[clicking]

[birds chirping]

[melancholy music]

[sighs]

No, no, no, no, no.

No, no!

No!

Sh*t!

[knock on door]

What the f***?

So all of this

happened overnight.

It was the last

four hours really.

And you decided it was a

good idea to use my picture?

I told you. I don't remember

anything from last night.

Yeah. Well, they're picking

apart all of your posts.

Every photo, every tweet.

All that we built.

How could you

let this happen, J?

What were you thinking?
