No, it's...

Oh, my God.

It is.

Mm-hmm.

Yup. I still got it.

Oh.

Whoa. Wow.

Hi.

Hi.

Ugh.

I know. Sorry I'm late.

Chicken pad thai?

So...

what was it like...

Mm-hmm?

...when you heard Yahoo

wanted to buy your software?

Mmm.

Well, I had just

come out of Barneys.

Yeah?

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Jodi and I were arguing

about the suit

that she wanted me to buy.

I thought it was too expensive.

Well, hello? Barneys.

Yeah, I know.

Um, and then Jodi offered

to buy it for me,

because she's the one

with the...

Well, ahem, she has money.

And I was like, "No way.

Like, let's just go across

the street to Men's Wearhouse."

And she was like,

"Really? Men's Wearhouse?"

We were fighting

a little bit about it.

And when my phone rang,

it was my partner Lance.

And he told me

that Yahoo wanted

to make the deal...

for $6 million.

Holy sh*t.

Please tell me

that you walked back in

and you bought that suit.

Yeah, I did.

Ugh!

Did you call your mom?

Yes.

Did she start crying

hysterically?

Yeah.

And did she talk about the

cancer and how far you've come

since then, how maybe it was all

meant to be?

Wow, you're good.

Oh, well,

Teri and I were

in the trenches together.

Yeah.

Do Teri and Jodi...

get along?

They don't really

know each other.

Really.

Yeah.

Why?

I don't know.

I just, you know,

like to keep my mom separate

from things these days

because she gets,

you know, so emotional.

Yeah.

Listen, people take breaks

in between sets.

I've seen Pumping Iron.

Oh, you've seen Pumping Iron.

Yes.

Well, then you know in order

to keep a great physique,

you need to keep on going, Fran.

You need to continue

to push it. Let's go.

Come on, keep working, Frannie.

I'm so proud of you.

I believe in you.

Do it!

Do it, or you're going

to be a quitter like...

What the f***?

I hate his face.

All right, um, yeah.

Let's shake it out,

shake it out.

Kiwis, broccoli...

Dude, this is my camp shirt.

...strawberries.

Why do you have my camp shirt?

Brussels sprouts.

Excuse me, miss.

I've been looking for this.

Red bell peppers.

This was, like, the most

important summer of my life.

What?

This is like,

I fell in love for the first

time this summer...

What? I can't hear you.

Undoubtedly.

I'm keeping this.

What?

Okay, here we go.

Mother and daughter.

Hit and run.

Oh!

Cash in the car

real estate fraud.

January Jones.

Only one way to find out

if you're right.

Want to make a bet?

Totally, I'd do it.

How much you want?

Six million dollars.

Hi.

Hi.

How was your night?

Good.

Oh, um, I want to meet her.

Who?

Really? Meet?

Yeah.

Yeah. I think it makes sense,

doesn't it?

For us to meet.

Someone who you're spending

so much time with.

Yeah, that totally makes sense.

Um, she's in a pretty

vulnerable place right now.

It might be kind of weird.

You know, you standing around,

staring at her in her bed.

It's kind of weird.

Well, I wouldn't

be staring at her.

Um, but it's okay for it

to be weird for me,

but not for her?

No.

You're all protective

of her weirdness, but not me.

No. No, no, no.

You're right.

You guys should totally meet.

It will be good. It'll be good.

Okay. Good.

Good.

Yeah. Good.

It'll be fine.

Yeah.

Don't get nervous.

Why? Why? Why do I have

to meet her?

I know it's weird, but...

What? Why?

I thought you said she was fine.

She is, she is.

I mean, what do you mean?

She just wants to...

Like what? Check me out?

Come on. You have to admit...

Couldn't you just take a photo?

This situation is kind of weird.

Fine!

Fine.

When do I have to meet her?

I'm so sorry.

Are you kidding me?

No, no, no, no.

No, it's not funny.

Stop laughing.

I thought it would be best

just to rip the Band-Aid off.

You know that I am

completely defenceless.

And I look like sh*t.

What?

Nothing!

I cannot be... Hey, Devon!

This is not part of the deal.

We never talked about this.

Okay, the deal...

The deal is f***ing crazy.

We're going to make the deal

whatever we want to make it.

I hate you.

I just want you to know that.

Shh!

Shut your mouth.

Oh, God... Ow!

Mother...

Ow. F***ing...

So stupid.

Hi.

Okay, it's just

straight back here.

Okay.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey!

Jodi, this is Frannie.

Frannie, this is Jodi.

This is a great opportunity

for you guys to meet each other.

I've heard so much.

Yeah, and hey,

I'm so sorry

that this happened to you.

Thank you.

It's so horrible.

I thank you.

I brought cupcakes

and ice cream.

Why did I do this?

Oh!

Um, junk food always

cheers me up.

That's really nice of you.

Thank you.

Put it in the kitchen.

I'll put them in the kitchen.

Okay. Wow. Look at him.

Okay.

Mr. Host.

I'm sorry. Please, sit.

Okay. Sure.

So...

Hi.

Hi.

I know this might

be a little weird.

No. My God,

are you kidding?

It totally makes sense.

Good.

Yeah.

I mean, if my boyfriend

was suddenly like,

"Hey, by the way,

I'm going to..."

Right? Oh, I'm so glad

you understand.

Yeah, I totally get it.

Really.

So Devon didn't tell me, um,

what do you do for a living?

Or did do...?

I-I do... what I do do,

um, is I'm a special events

coordinator.

Really?

Yeah, at this PR firm.

Oh, wow.

So, yeah.

They've been really great

about holding my job for me.

Oh, good. Oh, wow.

Yeah.

Um, PR sounds great.

Yeah. You know, it...

It is pretty great.

I've been doing it

for the past couple years,

so it still feels kind of new.

What kind of events do you do?

Um, fashion shows and benefits

and big corporate meetings.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, stuff like that.

Ooh! That's really

impressive. Um...

So, what do you guys

do all night?

Um, well,

just... we watch TV.

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay. He doesn't...

Well, okay, he doesn't make you

watch the History Channel

night and day?

Or sports?

Gosh. I think he knows

I'm in enough pain already.

Here, take some more pills.

Kill myself.

Um, so...

Should we watch TV?

Yes.

Yes.

Do you want... Are you sure?

Yeah.

I mean, I love it. I love TV.

Totally.

Obsessive.

Wow. Ooh.

You know your way around her TV.

It's a remote. Yeah.

Just like we have at home.

Uh-oh. Careful, Dev.

It's Law & Order.

You better...

What?

Devon never lets me watch this.

Hates it.

Hates it.

Really?

Yeah. Yes.

He does?

Look at you watching it.

I'm very proud.

Oh, well.

He says just the sound

of their voices

makes his brain cells

start to die.

Is that what...

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, sorry. One sec.

Ugh.

Billy Crudup.

You know, I'm going to go.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

I know, this is so boring.

No, no, no, no.

I'm so sorry.

Please, this is my... No.

It's okay.

Yeah, honey, whatever you want.

Whatever you want.

All right.

Are you...

Well, it was really...

It was so nice to meet you.

So nice to meet you.

And so nice to meet you.

Listen, I hope that you

get better really soon.

Oh!

Oh. I mean, that...

That sounded weird.

I know what you were thinking.

Stop it. It's fine.
