You embarrassed me.

How did I embarrass you?

I proposed to you.

I got you this ring.

I got you these flowers.

As much as we fight, do you really

think we should be getting married?

Yes.

Look, think about it.

We're good, like,

That's better than

most couples.

And now you're pulling

numbers out of your ass.

I think that it shows some

major insecurity on your part

to compare us to other couples.

Marry me.

Okay? We don't have to get

married right now. We can...

We can take some time. Some people

are engaged for, like, years.

Then why do we even have

to get engaged?

Why can't we just have fun?

And enjoy the time

that we have now.

What does that mean?

You always say these things. I have

no idea what you mean by that.

Do you want to be with me,

or what?

- Honestly, Darryl?

- Yes.

I never saw myself marrying

someone like you.

And I don't want

to lead you on,

because I really think

you are a nice guy.

But I think that you have

some major issues.

Please don't cry.

- Don't cry.

- I'm not crying.

I'm gonna go back to work.

Hey, Mom. How are you?

This is Nick.

Your baby boy. I'm just calling to

wish you a very, very happy birthday.

And I hope you're

having fun with, um...

Marty. And if you, uh...

Oh, that's actually you

calling on the other line.

Anyway, I'm just calling

to wish you a happy birthday.

And if you want to get together for

lunch or something I'd love to see you.

Um, the next week or so

is good for me

because I am actually literally just

exporting the final file of this film

that I've been working on.

So I'll have a little bit of free

time, and would love to see you.

All right. I hope you're doing

well and I will talk to you soon.

Bye.

How're you doing, buddy?

Hmm? How're you feeling?

F*** everything, man.

Exporting the final file

of this movie.

We're all done.

That exciting, buckaroo?

Feelin' a little better?

Listen, if you need to take

the rest of the day off

I can finish this up on my own.

F*** you, man.

No, really I can...

Yeah, really.

I'm serious. F*** you.

- Why don't you go home and just take...

- I need to be here.

Okay.

Listen, I was going to wait

to tell you this, but, um...

- I spoke to Mike.

- What did he say?

He agreed to let us work

together on his next film.

I told him I couldn't work without my

right-hand man. Turned him around.

Just like that.

How's that for loyalty? I don't care. I

really don't care about that anymore.

Isn't that exciting?

Hmm?

New characters, new stories.

I don't care.

I'm excited.

I think it's going to be great.

How much did they say

they were going to pay?

Shh.

...this is the third time

I've come here,

the first time you

actually show up.

We're working today, okay?

Listen to me.

You're f***ing with

other people's work.

Do you understand? My work.

My team's work.

The talent.

I'm the director.

I shot the goddamn movie.

It's my work, too.

And it looks like f***ing mud.

I'm the director, and that's

the end of this conversation.

Say it again.

- Say it again.

- I'm the...

- Say it again! Say it again!

- I'm the...

- Hey! What are you doing, man?

- Who the f*** are you?

I'm the assistant editor,

mother f***er. Who are you?

I'm the director.

I'm the DP.

Okay.

Why don't you take a step back, bro,

'cause this has nothing to do with you.

- It's between me and him.

- Or what? Or what?

- What if I don't? What if I don't?

- Relax, man. Relax.

- Relax.

- Why don't you apologize to him?

I got this.

You apologize to him, man.

- Talking to him like that.

- Are you crying?

That has nothing

to do with this.

We're a f***ing team, man.

- Yeah, that's right.

- We got different jobs.

But we're all a team.

You like his job?

You wanna do his job?

Next time, step up

and take it first.

Until then,

work for this guy, man.

He pays you.

It's making movies, man.

It's supposed to be fun.

We good?

I'm gonna go smoke a cigarette.

- Go do that.

- Smoke a cigarette. I'm the director.

Thanks a lot.

I'm glad I know that, Adrian.

How're you doing?

Lighting in here

looks like sh*t.

Hey. I ordered you a spicy tuna

roll, and me dos mojitos.

We should hurry, though, because the

screening's gonna start pretty soon.

Okay.

Look, I just wanted

to apologize to you again.

For everything I said

to you the other morning.

What?

Can you hear me? I'm trying to

apologize to you over here.

No.

What's wrong?

Did you get another promotion?

No.

What is it, then?

You're scaring me over here.

Talk to me.

It's bad.

Like, we might break up.

Is it something I did?

Something you did?

That's a little bit better.

What happened? Talk to me.

Well, a friend of mine

sent me this picture

that she saw

on the Internet of you,

and you were walking your

dog with Jamie Kirkland.

We work together. She came

in for an ADR session.

We took a break and

walked Pizza in the park.

I thought it was

something you did.

Well, I got

really jealous and I...

I decided to go home on my lunch

break and I went onto your computer.

And I know it's really f***ed up

and I've never done it before,

but I read through

your e-mails.

'Cause I wanted to see if you'd been

e-mailing back and forth with her.

Nothing happened

with me and Jamie.

Okay, nothing.

Um...

Who's Allison?

Allison's a girl

I used to date.

She's a friend.

She's a girl that you dated

while we dated?

She's a girl I dated

when we met.

Okay? I didn't date her after

we committed to each other.

Okay. Do you still

see her, though?

You know the answer is yes.

Yeah. She's in the business,

we're old friends, we hang out

for coffee and sh*t, and talk.

She's a friend.

She's an old friend.

Okay, but a lot

of your e-mails

seemed like they were

more than just friendly.

I don't know. I can't tell.

From what I can tell,

it doesn't seem like

you're still doing

sexual things with her.

I'm not having sex with her.

Absolutely not.

But you're, like, seeing her

and you're not telling me.

And then you're telling her

you're not telling me.

As if you guys

have this inside joke.

- It's not...

- I read through all your e-mails.

I saw what you said. You're talking

to her about how you like sex.

And she's telling you

how much she likes sex.

That doesn't sound like

you're just friends.

You're, like,

saying all this stuff.

I've never heard you say

anything like that to me.

And, like,

what about Jamie Kirkland?

- What about Jamie Kirkland?

- I don't know.

Are you hanging out with

her and not telling me?

Nothing happened

with me and Jamie.

I'm telling you. Nothing happened.

We never hooked up.

Nothing happened...

Well, have you ever hung out

with her and not told me?

She's part of the movie,

you know? Like...

Yes.

When did you do that?

Last week.

Last week, she had some friends

over for dinner at her place.

She invited me and Darryl over.

We had a few drinks.

We hung out.

Why didn't you invite me to it?

I don't know.
