be the rich one and

you're gonna be the

housewife of New Jersey.

I thought we agreed on that.

Because I kind of want one.

You want a prenup?

Is that okay?

It's a little pessimistic,

don't you think?

Well, I guess it was

more my dad's idea.

I knew it was your dad's idea.

I knew it the second

you brought it up.

I knew it was something your

dad planted in your mind.

What percentage

of this decision

is from something you feel or

something that your dad has told you?

Mmm-hmm.

And 20% my dad.

And...

I guess the other 20% is just

like societal influences.

Okay.

I'm glad you brought it up.

I really, really love you.

I love you, too.

That hair's

gonna light on fire.

- We're not rolling yet.

- Not very careful.

I need my lawyer here

right now.

How's that

water? Is it warm?

It is muy buenos.

Come on, are we almost ready?

I think we're about ready to go,

but we're gonna need

a half an hour longer.

Would you mind just

staying where you are?

I'm gonna be all pruned.

Want a book?

A magazine?

Flippers or goggles?

Manual freeze.

Nip slip number two.

- All right, mark that, but, uh...

- Marking.

This is fun and all, but we

should really get back to cutting

more minorities

out of the film.

What do you say?

This girl must have some daddy

issues if she's into you.

No offense.

She must have

some problems, though.

My impression of her is

she's lonely, she's bored,

she's going

through a break-up,

so there's some transitional

thing going on.

But, yes, she has shown an unclear

but obvious interest in me.

F*** you, man.

I was editing that day.

It should have been me.

It's weird. I've never

had anyone like that

be kind of

interested in me before.

All right.

Let me be your

conscience for a second.

Do it.

I would definitely do it.

Amy's cool as hell,

but I would definitely f***

this girl if I had a chance.

Maybe even if I was married,

which you are not.

And not just because she's hot.

Because she's famous and hot?

Exactly.

I just feel like, you

know, we have one life.

You know, like there's only one

spin on this merry-go-round.

And I know we disagree

on this a little bit.

Even though all evidence

supports my side of things.

- That's not true. It's not true.

- It is true, but...

- In my opinion...

- Fine.

There's nothing waiting

for us after we die.

In my opinion, that's it.

Like, that's

fade to black forever.

And if so, what we're talking

about here essentially is

a victimless crime.

Okay.

Now, on the other hand,

and I know you're probably

gonna disagree with this

because you don't

believe in God.

You're probably gonna

roll your eyes.

- I'm listening. I'm listening.

- Like you're doing.

But what if this is God

testing you?

Maybe this is God rewarding me.

I can't hear

what you're saying.

Just calm down.

What?

Yes, this is... I couldn't

leave any earlier.

This is as quick

as I could leave.

I'm trying.

I'm trying to get a cab.

I'm going as fast as I can.

It's rush hour. It's not

that easy to get...

Okay. Relax.

Let's just calm down.

Hey. What happened?

What's going on, Amy?

What's going on?

Hey. Hey.

It's okay.

It's okay.

What happened?

Is it family stuff?

Mmm-mmm.

- Is it work stuff?

- Yes.

Did you get fired? No.

- No.

- What happened?

I got a promotion.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

On the bright side of things,

and I think there

is a very bright side,

you're the youngest person in the history

of the company to get the promotion.

You're getting an assistant

all to yourself,

and you're gonna be

frigging rich.

You know?

You almost ready?

Yes, I just need, like,

That's what you said

Okay, but I actually

need 10 more minutes

of you not talking to me,

and I just need

to send this e-mail.

And if I can send it really

quickly, then I can go.

I just need you

to leave me alone.

What?

Amy, can you look

at me for a second?

Amy, I'm proud of you.

Okay?

You make me feel like a jerk

'cause I just want to go out

and celebrate great news.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

- Let's go and celebrate.

- I will.

I just need to finish this.

How long is it gonna take?

It's gonna take two seconds...

Who's that?

What?

Can I stay here tonight?

Really?

No. Fine.

- Fine.

- What happened?

She kicked me out, man.

So, go home.

Go home?

Home's mad far, man.

I gotta go all the way

back to Brooklyn?

- This is right next to the office.

- Is that Darryl?

Hey, Amy.

Hey. Do you have

any weed?

- I do.

- Yes!

All right. Just come in

for a minute.

Don't get too comfortable.

Baby, look,

all I did was ask about

the night with that guy.

All right? If you walked

me to some girl's car,

at 12:
00

in the morning,

and I didn't get back to

you until the next day,

you would have

some questions, too.

How do I know

what you've been doing?

I haven't been doing anything.

I've been thinking about you.

I am not stupid. Okay?

I'm not stupid.

I just got jealous.

Okay?

Like you get jealous sometimes.

All right?

And I think

that's a good thing.

Just be really, really sweet.

And I wanted to tell

you that I love you.

Okay.

Okay?

I don't get you, Darryl.

You know what the

definition of insanity is?

You.

It's doing the same

thing over and over,

thinking that something's

gonna change.

I'm pretty sure that's not

the definition of insanity.

You don't respect me.

You talk to me like I'm nobody,

and, honestly, I am

sick and tired of it.

Baby...

Did your friend come?

What friend

are you talking about?

The friend that comes around a

couple of days every month.

Um, what are you asking me?

I think I'm being

pretty, pretty delicate

with the way I'm saying it.

Did your friend come,

she usually comes around a

couple of days every month,

and brings a pad with her?

Are you asking me

if I'm on my period?

I didn't say it like that.

Baby? Liana?

Baby?

Muffin?

You're misunderstanding what I'm saying.

What I'm saying is,

the sooner you acknowledge

that it's over...

It's not over.

The sooner you can allow the

healing process to run its course.

There's no healing, there's no course.

This is what we do.

We fight and we

get back together.

Sorry.

There's towels in there.

And there's a washcloth

and there's also

clean toothbrushes, so help

yourself to whatever you need.

And help yourself to coffee

or breakfast in the morning.

Awesome. Thanks, Amy.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

I'll be right there.

- Amy's the best.

- Mmm-hmm.

She is. All right,

you need anything else?

Nah, I'm cool.

Um, just a bedtime story.

A bedtime story?

Yeah. Tell me a...

What kind of bedtime story?

Something entertaining, man.

Something good. Come on.

All right, I got

a bedtime story for you.

Once upon a time,

in a land not that far away,

there was a young girl who

wanted to be a famous actress.

The most famous actress

in the whole world.

But to make ends meet in this

magical and expensive city

known as New York City...
