[door opens and closes]

[keys jingling] - [Woman] Just get me

the hell out of here! [engine starts] [peaceful guitar music] [peaceful violin music] [moaning] - [exclaims] No, God. [sighs deeply] - Chow down, yeah. That's what I like to see. [man savors] [dog barks] Look at you hungry dogs. - [Man in Blue] Don't

write "Dad", you moron. [sighs deeply] [phone ringing] - [Joel] Hey, Dave.

- [Dave] Hey, Joely. Who do I have this morning? - The Bennetts. - [exclaims] Damn! That's right, my

favorite couple. - Hey Dave, where's my patient

intake form on the Bennetts? - You gave it to me. - [exclaims] I gave it to you? - [Dave] Yes. - Well, did you make a copy? - No. But I have your notes! - Would you please make

a copy and fax it to me? - I'll email the files to you. - Dave! - I'll email 'em to your phone. - Email it to my phone? Well, suggest an Intimacy Night. - An Intimacy Night? I got other things I'm

gonna do with them. - Like what? - Don't worry about it, Joely! [upbeat banjo music] I suggest an Intimacy Night. - That's what I said. - No, you called

it a Date Night. - What's the difference? What's the difference? - Well, there is no difference. - Told you! - I mean, an Intimacy Night

doesn't need to be a date. - Right. Right! - I want to warm

up into intimacy. I'm not gonna wait for

you to get home from work, cook you a meal and then

bam, have some intimacy! - [Ben] Margie,

we're not teenagers, I don't want to take

you to the movies. - [Margie] See,

this is what I mean! - [Ben] What, what this? This? [growls in anger] - [Woman] Well, I'm

off to the doctor then. - All right. - I love you. - Love you too. - I just want to be happy. - Well, I'm sorry,

but I don't want to make popcorn with you and

rent a DVD and then make out. - That's just mean. - No, it's not mean,

it's realistic. It's acknowledging the fact

that we're not 15 anymore-- - You're deflecting again! - We've got respo-- [Ben] Deflecting?

- [Margie] Uh huh! - [Ben] Doctor, will you

just please talk to her-- - Some times people

just need a break. I mean, perfectly understandable that you're both upset. It's an uncomfortable

situation for both of you. But we can work this through. It's good to be open

with your feelings. - Hey, do you think that Dave

is good for Ben and Margie? - That's up to Ben and Margie. - [sighs deeply] Okay. [upbeat banjo music] - [Doctor] Of course

you can still have sex. In fact, it's very healthy

for a woman your age. - Well, you know, it's

just like been a while. - Well, have you

tried speed walking? - What? - It'll help raise your libido. - [Woman] Okay. - [Doctor] I'm gonna prescribe

you some vaginal cream. Now, use this two times

a day, two to four weeks. With your age, there's

gonna be some dryness. Smile [breathing heavily] When all is more and

more is [muffled lyric] Darling I seem to be misled To me the worst of

it [muffled lyric] When is more and

more is [muffled lyric] [humming] [phone vibrating] - [Woman] Do you still love me? - Of course. - [Woman] Tell me. - [Joel] What do you mean? - I don't know, tell me

what you love about me. - I love your laugh. - Yeah? - [Joel] It's very nice. - [Woman] Do you want to

know what I love about you? - Sure. - I think you're very

sweet and it's very sexy. Really, very sexy. - [Joel] Thank you,

thank you very much. [phone ringing] [Joel] Hey, Dave.

- [Dave] Hey, Joely. What ya' doing? - [Joel] Just going

over some patient files. - Packed for the conference? - It's in two days, Dave. - Yeah, I packed all my

things, came out to the cabin. - [Joel] What does Riana

have to say about that? - [Dave] Come down

here to the cabin. - No, no Dave, I think I'll

sleep in my own bed, thank you. - I got a six-pack

and some stuff. - Stuff? - We're going to

San Francisco, baby. - So, how did it go

today with the Bennetts? - [exclaims] Yeah. They're f***ed. - Well, could you be a

little more specific? - [Dave] Come down to the cabin. - [Joel] No, I can't do that. - [exclaims] P*ssy-whipped. - Who is it? - It's Dave, we're going

over our, some patient stuff. - Tell her that you've

got to come over and work late on our

presentation for the conference. - It's in two days and

you're the one presenting. [hushes] - Joel! You're a moron. - Goodnight, Dave, thanks. - [Dave] Lie to her

and come on down! Or I might die. And that's all I'm going to say. - Okay, no. Yep, yep, I understand,

I'll be over. - What's going on? - It's Dave, gotta work

late on the presentation. [upbeat banjo music] Where did you get

that thing from? - [Dave] Phillip. - Your son? - Yeah, yeah, it's fine,

that art school he goes to in San Francisco, they

eat this stuff like candy. - Well, I'm not in

art school, Dave. - When was the last time? - For what? - That you took some drugs, man. - I don't know, 70s maybe? - We need this, we need it! - What does it do? - Phillip says it

makes you feel good. - Good how? - Like, really good. [laughter] What we need is a big bang! We need to have fun

at this conference. You need that. - Maybe. [laughter] - When was the last

time that you had sex? - Dave? - [exclaims] Come on, you

can tell that sh*t to me. It's me. - No. - When was it? - [laughing] A long time ago. - You listen to me. You need a big bang! - I'm in all the way. - I'll hold you to it! [whooting and laughter] - [Joel] I haven't moved

like this in years. [exclaims] It feels good! [laughter] - [Dave] I told ya'! [laughter] [peaceful string music] [phone vibrating] [angelic humming] [breathing deeply] - You know, she's

not a bad person. - I didn't say she

was a bad person. - She's good to me. - She is no good for you. - Some times I'm just

not that interested. Maybe it's a little hard to feel masculine and passionate. When all I do is sit

around the house all day, doing the goddamned books. - Forget about the books,

you're really good at them. Better than I was. It suits you. - You don't like Sheryl, do you? - I like her okay, she's

just not right for you. - Have you ever met a woman who you thought was right for me? - [Dave] Stay until

the conference. - I can't, and you know I can't! - Why? - 'Cause I have to

go home to Sheryl. - Just come up with

something, some excuse. - Sheryl's sister

is coming over. You know how

self-conscious she gets. I have to be there

to support her. - I know, Layla's

got a hot body, huh? - Well, that's beside the point. - Well, she does, you

gotta admit it, she does! - Sheryl needs me, I got

to go home, okay, Dave? - Wait, at some point,

you're gonna have to decide. You're gonna have

to make a decision. - Decide what? - Whether to put

up with it or not. You know, look, look,

look at what it's doing. You're all stressed out. You don't want to deal with

it and you shouldn't have to. - I don't know. - You know, is it

worth it, Joely? - I gotta go home, Dave! I gotta go home. - It's bullshit, Joely. It's bullshit, Joel! You better be packed and ready! I'm picking you up, first

thing in the morning! [slams] - What happened? - We just got caught up in work. - [Sheryl] I stayed up for you! - I'm sorry! - Well, should I? - It's nice that you did. - No, I mean but should I? Do I expect you to not come
