...one she promises
not to fornicate with.
And that's about it.
How are you guys doing?
You know, we're doing good.
Right? I mean-
- So what do you think about that?
- About what?
About doing what Harry and Hilary
did, going to a marriage counselor?
Do you think I'm a f***ing moron?
How long have you
been cheating on me?
Wait. Honey, wait.
- Look, I love you.
- No, you don't love me.
Love means respecting
and caring about someone.
It doesn't mean sneaking around
and f***ing some slut!
Shut up, okay?
I want someone who's gonna love me
and who thinks I'm great...
...and who'll make me feel beautiful...
...and who will wanna hold me,
the way you used to.
But not now when you think
I'm a nuisance...
...if I want to make love
or even talk.
I'm f***ing tired of it.
I know you're having an affair.
But it's over...
...and I want a divorce.
Wait a minute. Wait.
And to answer your question...
...no, I would not
describe it as big.
I didn't even know I was gonna
do it, but I went with it.
I just said, "What the hell," and I
said it and I've never felt so good.
I didn't even know what I was
gonna do, but I just felt relief...
...like this huge weight
was lifted off my shoulders.
I felt so good.
You're looking for Tommy?
Sure, come on in.
Is he here?
Well, you see, Tommy did live here,
but he doesn't live here anymore.
He moved out about a week ago.
You must be Maria.
Yeah.
You must be-
The man who taught him
everything he knows.
I kind of have something
really important to tell him.
- Do you have his new address?
- Yeah, I do have his new address.
But can I offer you a drink?
No, thank you. I really-
Does he live around here?
You hungry or want to listen to some
Montovani, or something like that?
No, thank you.
The address will be fine.
All right.
I'll give you his address, but...
...if it doesn't work out
with the kid...
...well, you know where to find me.
You just have to ask
yourself one simple question:
Do you want to sit up
on the porch with the pup...
...or do you wanna run in the yard
with the big dog?
The address, please.
That would be great.
You got it.
- Carpo.
- You got it.
Carpo.
What are you doing here?
I got your address from Carpo.
I wanted to tell you something.
Regarding what?
Us, I guess.
Look, I gotta be honest with you.
I mean, I can't say that I'm
really so interested anymore.
You know? I mean, it's just-
After I saw you at the video store
and you asked me to call you...
I called you a bunch of times...
...and I never heard back
from you, again.
Yeah, I wanted to-
I don't know,
apologize for that.
- I'm sorry for not calling you.
- Look, I'm sorry too.
So what is so important
that you needed to talk to me?
I wanted to tell you
that I'm leaving.
I got this out-of-town job
teaching.
It's great.
I'm leaving. I'm moving.
That's it.
I don't know what to say.
I guess, good luck?
Yeah.
Thank you.
I'll see you around.
Yeah.
Or maybe not, right?
Good luck.
I just realized
I don't even know your last name.
It's Reilly.
What about you?
Tedesco.
We probably should have gotten that
out of the way a little earlier.
- Yeah.
- Good luck.
Yeah, you too.
Take care.
So why didn't you tell Tommy
you're pregnant with his baby?
I showed up at his door.
I was gonna ring the buzzer
and go up there...
...and, you know, tell him.
Then I realized
I didn't know his last name.
I didn't know what buzzer to press.
Reality is that we were supposed
to have a one-night stand.
It went a little awry.
I got pregnant.
But that doesn't mean
that we should be together.
It was weird when she
showed up at my apartment...
...to tell me she was moving
out of town.
I don't know what that was about.
What's with you?
I'm tired of looking
at your sour puss.
What's my horoscope say for today?
"Today would be a good day
to get up off your ass...
...and admit that you're a coward...
...and make up with the special someone
who'll make you very happy. "
Does it really say that?
Does it matter?
What are you doing here?
- Do you hate me?
- No. No, just the opposite.
- Do you hate me?
- No, I don't hate you.
- Do you love me?
- Yes.
Every night I'm crying.
I can't eat.
I'm sorry.
You gotta eat.
I love you. You know that?
You know, you paid for an hour.
Is there anything else
you want me to do?
Would you mind doing the dishes?
- F*** you.
- Wait. I'm only kidding.
Come here. I'm only kidding.
You wanna stay and talk
for a little bit?
No.
It's okay.
Just call him up and ask him out.
Maybe I should just wait
until I show him an apartment.
Why would you wait?
What's his number?
I'm not gonna call him now.
Yes, you are.
What's his number?
You are not gonna call him.
Give me the number.
If you really want me to call,
I'll call him.
Do it.
Thomas Reilly.
- It's Annie.
- Annie?
- Annie who?
- Annie from the real estate office.
- Yeah. Hey, how you doin'?
- Good. How are you?
I'm good. I meant
to call you last week...
...because I found an apartment
through a buddy of mine.
So I'm not gonna need
to look at any more spaces.
Well, you know, what's up?
Well, I was just wondering-
I had this really great apartment
that I really wanted to show you.
But if you've already found
a place, then that's okay.
I'll talk to you soon.
What the hell was that?
I just didn't feel right about it.
You're such a wimp.
I'm gonna call him.
No, don't call him. Please.
I'll call him later, I promise.
Thomas Reilly.
It's Annie again.
Listen, the real reason
I was calling is...
I wanted to know if you would go
to dinner with me on Saturday night.
What happened with your husband?
- Are you still with him?
- No.
He was an a**hole.
And he has a small dick.
All right.
Well, in that case, yeah.
I'd love to go out to dinner.
Great. I'll call you Friday.
Gotta go.
Call him Friday.
The date's on Saturday.
Yeah!
After you get divorced,
it's like...
...you never think
you'll fall in love again.
You never think you'll find
this kind of love.
I look back on
my relationship with Griffin...
...and I realize definitely that I was
in a bad place at the time.
Very bad. But if I didn't go through
that, I might not be ready for this.
There are no wrong choices.
As long as you have
the faith to make a choice...
...then it's gotta be right,
- I chose wisely, I think. Right?
- I think so too.
- Is that all you need?
- Is that okay?
Well, after I got over
the initial shock...
I knew I wanted this baby.
Everyone was telling me
I shouldn't do it...
...but I'm tired of listening to
everyone else telling me what to do.
I did the marriage thing. I'm not
gonna wait around for someone.
I already have someone.
So, it wasn't much of a decision.
What? What else do you wanna know?
Is there anything else
you wanna know?
What I don't like
about love or sex?
Is that what you wanna know?
