little party at home.

We'll have some good friends,

we'll have some drinks,

we'll dance.

Come on home.

We'll get you to feelin' better.

Yeah, maybe.

Janet said I could sleep

on the couch tonight,

if I want to.

Benny:
You know what's right.

I love you, ray.

Love you, too.

Ray, I'm in here.

- These photos are hilarious.

Oh, my god, they're so gross.

This is a good

first punishment for you.

You deserve a thousand

more punishments like this.

I know.

Who were you talking to

on the phone?

Benny.

Oh, Benny.

I like Benny so much.

He's my best friend.

Sit down for a minute.

I said it was okay to cry

in front of me.

I know. It's hard.

You're my friend, too.

Sorry I ain't treat you

like a friend.

You just keep crying, ray.

Ray:
Okay.

First, I take you out.

We go out to dinner,

have some fun.

Then, we head to my house,

have a little party,

get a little crazy.

Invite your girls.

Yeah?

What are you doing right now?

Benny:
I'm buying a new shirt.

Don't blow all your

money in one night, man.

Benny:
When you need

a new shirt,

you need a new shirt.

You remember that

shirt I was wearin'

when I stopped by this morning?

Woman:
No.

Well, I've been struggling

with it all day.

Not sure if it was right

for me, but...

I'm looking at it now

and it... it looks good.

So maybe you don't need

to buy a new shirt.

Benny:
Sometimes you just need

to have Patience,

- let it break in.

It's not a bad shirt.

I'm outta here.

Phil:
You still here?

Yeah, I'm just finishing up.

I sent you the story.

It's almost done.

Front page?

No, some guy stabbed

somebody by central park.

We might get page three.

Okay. Oh, this is Claire.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Can I go home now?

I thought you'd want to see

how the story came out.

And then maybe we could

get a drink, you know?

Decompress.

Yeah, still got

that stomachache, so...

Well, we could

grab a bite to eat.

I think I need some alone time.

I mean, yeah, the stomach thing,

but also, just got scratched

in the face by

an accused murderer.

I just wanna sit in my bathtub

and take a serious look at

what I'm doing with my life.

Ha!

You're really nice.

You did a great job today.

Think that I'm going to quit.

Phil:
You shouldn't do that.

Give it time.

Yeah, no. It's bad for me.

Think, in my heart of hearts,

I'm a...

I'm a quiet librarian.

Why am I so bad at this?

- At what?

- Getting people to like me.

Maybe this is the wrong,

you know, atmosphere

for that sort of thing.

Other people do it.

They know how.

Claire:
I don't know, maybe you

should be more yourself.

You know,

not try so hard to impress.

I mean, don't you want someone

to like you

for who you really are?

Phil:
God, you're

the perfect woman for me.

Phil, stop it!

Phil, stop!

Okay.

I'm gonna go.

Thank you, today.

Do you know who's coming

to the party tonight?

Yeah, everybody.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

All right.

I'll bet everybody's

gonna look real good.

Yeah.

Do you know what

you're gonna get?

I don't know.

Yeah, me neither. Uh...

Hey.

What's up?

I gotta say something.

- Okay.

- Yeah?

Go for it.

Yeah, I'm trying, you know?

No, I... I don't know. I...

Yeah. I got love for you.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. Big love.

A whole lotta love.

I got it for you, too.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Okay.

- That's good news.

- Yeah.
