You were working, I think...

You know that I think

she's really cool.

And I told you I would like

to meet her if I could.

I don't know. It was

a last-minute thing...

And Darryl had to...

I don't know, okay?

I don't know.

What is there to not know?

Look, I never cheated on you.

Okay?

- It doesn't matter if you...

- It does matter.

Okay? It matters a lot.

So you didn't cheat on me,

but what you're doing

still hurts my feelings.

And it doesn't

feel good at all.

And I would never do

anything like that to you.

Look, being a guy

isn't always easy.

Okay? There are...

There's...

That's not the approach

I want to take.

No.

Look, I'm sorry.

Okay? I'm sorry.

Put this mother f***ing

dog on a leash.

- Going well?

- Yeah, man. Yes.

Better than the last time.

- Good.

- So good, man.

A lot of laughs.

Maybe a couple

of tears to come.

The taxi scene

f***ing killed, man.

I'm telling you.

Good.

I mean, it's not gonna win

any Academy Awards.

But the producers

are happy, right?

It's leading to more work.

What else can you do?

Mmm-hmm.

What else can you do?

Well, we turned

this ship around, right?

Sort of.

Sort of, right.

I'm gonna go in.

Yeah? You gonna watch?

I've got to sit with Amy.

What's up?

I've been a bad boy, Darryl.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- How's it going?

- Fine.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah. You wanna get a drink, or...

Yeah. I'd love to.

- Well, hello!

- Hey, how's it going?

Hey, stranger.

Good to see you.

Yeah, good to see you, too. This

is my girlfriend, my fiancee, Amy.

Amy, Jamie.

Jamie, Amy.

- Hi.

- Jamie, Amy. Amy, Jamie.

- I've heard so much about you. It's nice to meet you.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

- I haven't. My name's Sebastian.

- Hi.

- This is my boyfriend, Sebastian.

- You look lovely. Beautiful dress.

- Thank you.

- Nick, it's good to see you again.

- Yeah.

Good to see you, yeah.

It's good.

Um, great work.

Yeah, you too.

Right back at you.

I think it played really,

really well tonight.

Well, I have you to thank.

I think you're just good because you're good.

It's what you do.

Amy's trying

to play it cool here,

but she actually... She goes retarded

bananas every time your show appears on TV.

Big fan.

That is so cute.

Listen, I need some vino.

Do you want to grab a drink?

- Sure.

- Yeah, you all got a lot to talk about, I'm sure.

Thank you, again.

It was really great.

Yeah, thanks.

Yeah, of course.

Good to see you again.

Thanks, man. Thanks for coming out.

I appreciate it.

Who would have thought?

Who would have thought what?

- Good talk. See you around.

- Okay.

Well, to be an editor,

you're kind of the person

who assembles the film

on a level.

And then, on other levels

you're refining the film.

You're, uh, creating tones. You're worried

about pacing. You're cutting the fat.

- What's the fat?

- The fat, well...

I think you can tell by the way I look.

I know how to trim the fat, right?

But seriously, we're sorta like

surgeons, in a way. You know?

We get in there, and we

cut out the malignant cells.

You know, we operate on the

actual intricacies of...

I don't know what I'm

talking about anymore.

Did you work on the film?

No, my boyfriend worked

on the film, actually.

Ah, okay. Your boyfriend.

Cool, awesome.

- Who's your boyfriend?

- Oh.

Babe, this is Darryl.

He edited the film.

Rodney. Rodney the Doorman.

Nice to see you, man.

So you're the one who cut

my scene out of the film.

Well, the film was running

a little long, okay?

Two scenes long and

no one f***ing told me?

- Just messing with you.

- Okay.

- Let me introduce you to my family.

- You brought the whole family.

- That's my cousin June Bug.

- Hey, June.

This is my other cousin. This

is the editor of the film.

Well, assistant editor

of the film.

Babe, he told me

he was the editor.

- I think I said, "An editor."

- You trying to f*** my girl?

- Absolutely not. She asked me...

- Just messing with you, man.

Okay. Okay, you're

a good actor, man.

Wow, that's beautiful.

- That is gorgeous.

- Thank you.

Yeah. So, how long have you

and Nick been engaged?

We've been engaged

for, like, six months.

So, like, right around the

time he started this project.

How'd you guys meet?

We don't really have a good story.

We met online.

- Really?

- Yeah, like an online dating service.

Oh, no... I've never

done online dating.

Yeah, well, I imagine you

wouldn't need to. So...

That's not what I meant. I actually would

really like to try it. It sounds fun.

Yeah.

It's fun.

I sound sarcastic

when I don't mean to be.

But I really mean it.

I think it sounds cool.

Well, you should try it.

Yeah, maybe.

Um, so do you guys have a date?

Or a venue, or...

I'm actually gonna go to the

bathroom if that's okay.

Yeah, it's right over there.

Hey, man.

Hey.

- What's up, man?

- How's it going?

Good, good.

You're up.

Yeah, couldn't sleep.

Yeah. Footage man is

coming up with the drive.

The first drive.

Cool. Exciting.

- It is exciting.

- It is.

Brand new start, you know.

Mmm-hmm. I know.

I'm not being sarcastic.

I partitioned the drive,

and I, um...

I labeled all the bins and

everything so we're ready to go.

Good.

Hey, I was thinking maybe I could crash

on your couch a couple nights a week.

- Don't do that, man.

- No, I'm saying since...

Don't f***ing pity me.

Since I live so far

from this office, man.

Brooklyn's, like,

I'm asking you for rent-free

hospitality, man.

You gonna help me out or not?

- Sure. Sure.

- All right.

You and me, and Pizza the dog.

Two bachelors,

and a bachelorette.

Sure.

All right. Footage kid's

on his way up. Right now.

Let's do this

project better, man.

I could do better.

Me, too.

We're getting there.
