chance to talk, it's bullshit.

Yeah, you know you're still on

my sh*t list. You don't get to

joke with me.

Okay well we're going to go

dance because Emma took some

dancing lessons.

Stripper!

Love them. How long have they

been married?

Eight years. You guys get

reminded of your wedding at

these?

Not really.

It was so romantic she blocked

it out.

Yeah.

What's wrong with you? He was

there the day we were betrothed?

I was.

You use that word every chance

you get.

Betrothed?

Yes.

Betrothed?

Yes.

Betrothed?

Yes. I get your joke Paul,

you're very funny.

I'm getting another cocktail

does anybody want anything?

I'll have a beer.

I'll have one too.

Honey?

I'm good.

Do you have any singles?

What do you want it for?

Nothing.

Honey, this is a formal event.

You don't have to tip the

bartender.

Bartender didn't have a problem

with it.

It's not done.

Of course it's done I've done

it.

I don't want to argue about this

with you.

I'm asking you nicely.

And I appreciate that. But this

isn't one of your cousin's

weddings.

You don't tip the bartender.

Okay. You gonna give me the

singles or not?

Absolutely not. Look I

understand that you think you're

being a good person,

and you are, but it's

embarrassing and I don't want

you doing it.

Are you like my keeper now?

Listen. I'm not going to open

my purse and support something I

don't believe in.

Do you understand that? Now if

you want to go get singles and

give them to the bartender

and embarrass yourself, fine.

But I'm not going to help you

make an ass of yourself.

Fine! I forgot, what kind of

beer you want?

Uh, Stella would be fine.

Oh yeah.

I mean, unbelievable.

Is it me? Is it me? Just tell

me if I'm wrong, tell me if I'm

wrong.

Yeah. No. They're, uh, I mean

I've seen like a few people

doing it but, no.

Right. He expects me to just -

Jesus - he's over there asking -

What was that?

I don't know.

It's awesome though.

Don't say that we're like that.

We're not. We are not like that

at all.

What are you doing in my closet?

Nothing.

Oh. Here we go. You should

wear this one.

Good one.

What?

Shut up Vandy.

You shut up. I'm serious, you

should wear this one.

It would look really nice with

the gray suit.

Are you f***ing kidding me?

No I think you should wear it.

Okay. I'm serious, go back to

bed.

What's the matter. Poopy

doesn't want to wear a purple

shirt?

Poopy afraid he won't be a real

man if he's wearing a purple.

Poopy doesn't want to be touched

okay?

Don't get all tense already.

I'm not tense.

Stop acting like such an

a**hole.

Why don't you go back to bed?

It's early you don't need to be

up yet.

So you feel good?

What?

I mean do you feel like

yourself?

What are you talking about?

Well you said before you don't

do well in interviews,

that you go into a trance or

something, and you never end up

acting like yourself.

So are you feeling like

yourself?

Yeah. I'm feeling like myself.

Good. You're gonna be fine.

This tie is shorter than normal

ones.

Want me to do it?

So. Do you have things you know

you want to talk about?

Or are you just going there and

wing it? Or.

No I just answer the questions.

Oh.

Why?

Just wondering.

Are you okay?

Just can't believe this is

happening again.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

What?

I. I hate interviews. I suck

at them.

I go in there and I apologize

for myself

and I just didn't think it was

going to happen this time.

I thought I was done being a

jerkoff. F***!

Hey now, come here. Oh my baby.

Angel. You're gonna be great.

I'm just so tense.

Would you like for me to help

you relax?

What do you mean?

Just sit back. Let me do the

work. Hey. Who's the best

interviewer in the world?

I am.

That's right.

Thank you for saying that.

You mean the toast?

Yeah. No, I meant the wine.

Oh. Yeah I figured you meant the

toast but maybe you spent a lot

of time picking the wine.

No I got the wine from my dad I

- I meant the toast.

Thank you.

You're welcome? I'm sorry If I

Don't. Can I ask you something?

Course

Because we said we were going to

be honest with each other.

Right.

What are you thinking about?

Right now?

Or just a few seconds ago.

Um, I'm not sure what I was

thinking a few seconds ago.

Um, as for now, honestly, I'm

angry that you would ask me

that.

I feel like sh*t.

What else would I be feeling?

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I was just trying to be close.

It's fine.

I don't know why I asked.

It's okay, it's okay.

I like the way you do things.

A lot. So.
