Oh, I'm sorry.
It's so hot in here...
and I can't figure
this stupid thing out.
I signed the papers.
Wow.
How are you feeling?
Terrible.
Francis was there.
Obviously, he was there.
It was really hard
to see him.
And he signed so fast.
I at least pretended to look things over
one last time.
He sounds terrified
to me...
It's going to
take a while.
I mean,
nine years, Rafi.
You can't just walk away
from that kind of time.
The crazy thing is...
I'm out of this marriage,
what, five minutes...
and all of a sudden
I just...
I find myself
thinking about...
a baby.
Why now?
And why didn't I think about
this when I was married?
Well, I mean, you know...
on a certain level,
you knew this was not the right man.
So you were protecting yourself
in that way.
That was a good thing.
Oh, Rafi,
you're coming alive again.
You know, you just want
all the things...
that you had to forget
that you could have.
That's a very good place
to move into.
And the baby thing
will happen...
when it's the right time.
But just focus on the now.
For now.
Hey, Dave, it's Morris...
Listen, I got a favor
to ask you.
I went out with this girl
the other night.
And she told me never to call her again.
You know how that goes.
So I'm gonna need you
to come with me this time.
Don't freak out, all right?
I don't know how to get to Bay Ridge.
I'm not sure.
Bye.
I don't understand
why I have to be a part of this.
You have
an incurable sickness.
It's okay, though.
I understand.
But why am I
being involved?
- How are you being involved?
- Because I'm in the car.
I'm going to be a witness to this.
That makes me an accessory.
- What, like a handbag?
- Morris.
So who's it this time?
You know what? Don't...
I don't wanna know. Don't tell me.
Her father's probably in
waste management or something.
What I would like to know is why
no girl will go out with you twice.
One date, it's over.
What do you do? What do you say?
You know,
it's a mystery to me, too.
Are you a hermaphrodite?
Do you have hantavirus?
This is it. Come on.
All right,
just make this quick.
I gotta meet Michelle
at the movies a little later.
- Michelle? God.
- Just make it quick.
- Hi.
- What the hell are you doing here?
I told you I never wanted
to see you again.
I just want to talk.
Just come out here
and let's talk.
I can't believe
you came to my house.
- You have no respect for women.
- I don't, I'm sorry.
You hurt my feelings, okay,
you piece of sh*t.
- Okay. Okay.
- I can't believe you're here.
Okay? Okay?
- Mikey!
- Okay, I'm gonna go.
Joey, come out here!
- Mikey! Joey! Come out here! Mikey? Joey?
- Go! Get in the car! Get in the car!
Go, go, go!
Oh, sh*t!
It's not funny.
- Meeting Michelle.
- Yeah.
What are you going to see,
Beaches?
You're the wind
beneath my wings, Mo.
Hey, did you ever know
you were my hero?
- Have fun.
- All right, man.
Dave.
Randall.
Ah, right, I remember your name.
How you doing?
Hi.
- What's going on?
- Nothing much.
This is my friend Katherine
and this is my friend Rafi.
Hi.
Hi.
So what are you
doing here?
- Well, I thought I'd see a movie.
- Right.
Why? Are you embarrassed
to be seen with me?
- What?
- It's okay. Just tell me.
My God, this kid is funny.
Where did you get him?
Well, he works at Travelart
and we met that client through this...
Hey.
Hey.
- Randall.
- I'm sorry.
- Hi. Michelle.
- Michelle.
You have your tickets yet?
No, we're gonna get tickets.
- Are you seeing this?
- Yeah.
- You are?
- Yeah.
That's great. We're...
- I'll see you in there.
- Okay, good. We'll be in...
Get in the bun.
Get in the bun.
It's locked.
What?
The door. It won't open.
So, does this
happen to you a lot?
Actually, not often enough.
So what are we gonna do?
Wait till somebody comes out.
Right.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
So, how long
have you guys been dating?
- Couple of weeks.
- We're not dating.
Okay. Next question.
I mean, we only went out twice
before this.
- Do you consider that dating?
- I guess I did.
I'm sorry.
I mean, to me,
dating sounds more serious.
Like you've already been
going out for a couple of months, like...
Maybe you don't
live together...
but you definitely stay over
a couple of nights a week.
You don't worry about
who paid for the last meal anymore.
You've seen each other pee,
you know?
More serious kind of stuff.
Then what do you call this?
Well, that's it.
There are officially
no cute boys left here.
All right.
It's so nice to get out.
It was nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
Dave. Very nice to see you.
Good night.
Bye. Nice to meet you.
One, two, three, four.
Just f***ing call her.
Hello.
Hello?
-Hello?
- Hi. It's Dave...
Bloomberg.
Did you just call me?
Yes.
We get disconnected?
No.
Did you hang up?
Uh-huh.
They say it's better
to lie sometimes...
but I can't really do that
when I'm this nervous.
I think I need to be
in a better place.
I like it better this way.
I've been around enough lying to say so.
You had a lot of liars
in your life, huh?
- What?
- Sh*t.
Would you like to go out
to dinner with me tomorrow?
David, I'm making a sandwich.
Do you want one?
No, I'm fine!
- Who's that?
- That's my roommates.
So, do you want
to have dinner?
- Yes.
- Yeah?
I'll call you tomorrow.
Okay.
Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Okay, Grandma.
So, what kind of sandwich
are we talking about?
Hi, I'm here to see
Rafi Gardet. My name's Dave.
Raphael. It's Damien.
Yeah. There's a...
It's Dave.
Dave here to see you.
Okay.
She'll be right down.
Bubbles here, I like that.
It's a good touch.
Is that wool?
Looks itchy. Is it itchy?
I think it's the biggest
contradiction in the world.
Jews eat carp, okay?
Who eats carp?
They don't serve it in restaurants.
Have you ever seen carp
on a menu in your life?
Please, answer me honestly.
- No.
- No. You know why?
Because it's disgusting.
But for all this
terrible food...
you've never seen a people
so obsessed with it in your life.
It's a remnant.
I'll bet every immigrant group...
that was displaced by World War II
puts a lot of emphasis on food.
I mean, it was scarce.
Carp is cheap, right?
It was probably a staple of their diet.
What is this, the History Channel?
You trying to kill this for me?
- Come on.
- Sorry. Fine, go ahead.
Okay,
so my friend Morris...
So I think you're gonna love this place.
It's beautiful.
No one's ever there.
- Can I see some ID?
- Sure.
- Love when that happens.
- Yeah.
I wish
I still got carded.
- Excuse me, Dave.
- Yes.
Quick question for you.
How old are you?
Actually, I don't speak Vietnamese.
Why do you ask?
- Are you being evasive?
- I am trying.
You know,
I don't tell my age.
I think people get way
too caught up with the number.
I'm 37. Did you know that?
You know, I hadn't really
thought about it.
Sure you hadn't.
Look, I know
you're a lot younger than me.
