That Awkward Moment
It's 2:
18 in the morningin the middle of February.
I've been sitting on a park
bench for almost Your hours.
Fm f***ing freezing.
Why am I sitting here?
Why am I still
sifting on this bench?
You know, it's
probably best if I rewind.
If I back up and explain.
Every relationship arrives
at a critical moment,
a juncture,
between moving forward
and moving on.
I call that moment the "so."
So...
Where is this going, then?
I think you're a... Like...
I think you're amazing.
I think you're
an amazing girl. I...
I think you're an amazing person.
No.
I'm breaking up with you.
I have to.
You're breaking up?
I'm sorry, Jason, I need
somebody who's ready.
I need somebody who doesn't drink
coffee out of a cereal bowl.
What?
And has a bed frame.
I wasn't confused
because she was
breaking up with me.
I'm so late for work.
no idea we were dating.
I'm not even close
to the guy you need.
The guy you deserve.
Like... I'm...
And I'm so sorry that
I can't be that guy.
In her defense,
we'd been having sex, like,
once a week for six weeks.
I'm so late for work.
But in my defense,
that's a hookup
approaching the seeing stage.
I'm sorry, Jason.
No. I understand.
I understand.
And what I understood was,
at that moment,
we were definitely not dating.
Dude, did you get my message?
Man, I left,
like, 10 minutes ago...
Come on, man. You're late. Look,
what have you been doing'?
What have I been doing?
Christy just broke up with me.
Oh, man.
Who's Christy?
Vera, you home?
Oh. I didn't know
we had company.
You're home early.
Yeah, I skipped the gym.
Oh, uh, this is my lawyer.
Oh, your lawyer.
Actually,
he's a very good lawyer.
Is everything okay?
So your wife said that she
Yes, intense.
I can't believe
she said, "intense."
That's what she said.
With a guy named Harold.
And while she said this, her
lawyer was just sitting there?
He looked like Morris Chestnut.
Who the f*** is Morris Chestnut?
From Boyz n the Hood.
Ricky?
Yeah.
Dude, I love Ricky.
Not anymore.
Who the f*** looks
like Morris Chestnut?
Yeah. That's not a strong look.
Her lawyer.
Her lawyer looks
like Morris Chestnut.
Okay, and he was just
sitting there on the couch?
Yeah, why was he just sitting
there on the couch?
'Cause she wants a divorce.
That's...
F***, man.
Are you kidding me?
I'm sorry.
And here's the kicker,
her lawyer,
the guy sitting there,
the guy that looks
like Morris Chestnut,
is the guy
she's having sex with.
Harold?
Harold!
F*** Harold.
Oh!
Oh, man.
Did...
Did he say anything?
He said he liked my shoes.
What?
He said what?
He said he liked my shoes.
Well...
He's not wrong.
They're cool shoes.
What the f***, man?
I don't deserve this.
I don't know what
we're going to do, man.
We need to get him a hooker.
We can't afford a hooker.
Yeah, we can use a coupon. Get
him a cheap hooker. It's Mikey.
No, we're not. Look. "East
Village girls for hire."
No.
Right there.
No.
Yeah.
According to this article,
most of the bars on the East
Side are filled with hookers.
You know what I love about you
is that you literally believe
every single thing that you read.
No, I don't.
Yes, you do.
No, I don't.
Yes, you do.
It's like you're nine years old.
Ooh, no, no, no. They're
like young, cool hookers.
They dress like
hipsters and sh*t.
And I'm telling you
that I highly doubt
that that is the case.
Then why would
it be in a magazine?
I don't know.
Read it.
"She dresses like any
"knee-high boots
strewn about the floor,
"and a drawer filled
to the hilt with condoms
"seemed the only indication
of her sideline occupation."
How awesome is that?
Hey guys. It's Fred.
Hey, Fred.
You know it's not
a phone. Right?
You're actually here, Fred.
We can see you.
Totally.
Oh!
So you're due to present
on the Silverman book.
So...
You guys are
prepared? Right?
We'll be in there.
That's a blank board.
That's a gold mine.
I mean, we gave you
stacks of examples.
You mean these. Right?
What you're seeing
there is exactly
what you're gonna
see everywhere else.
And we can deliver that.
But when we're talking about
The Unexpectable Princess...
Which is a great title.
It's a wonderful,
wonderful title.
But still, it's drowning
in a sea of boring pastel.
Uh-huh.
That's not what you want.
And that's not what you need.
I think I know what you need.
I think he does.
A book's cover
should hint at the stow.
But not give away too much.
This is about wish fulfillment.
Black and white.
Cool and spare.
Now, a recent study using MRIs
showed that women's brains
lit up like fireworks
when they were
showed pictures of...
A penis.
What?
No. No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Women's brains
lit up like fireworks
when they were
showed pictures of
shoes.
Shoes.
Shoes.
And nothing says wish fulfillment
like Christian Louboutin.
Ask any girl in the room.
I love it.
Dude, are you
taking a sh*t in there?
Absolutely not.
Every time you come over,
you take a sh*t in there.
I'm not taking a sh*t.
I'm using self-tanner.
Self-tanner?
Yeah. I told that
assistant at Vogue
I couldn't hang out
'cause I was in Toulon.
Trying to phase her
out of my roster.
Also, lam taking a sh*t.
Every time.
You did
the retrieve? Huh?
I just grabbed whatever I could.
Yo, Mikey! Were you
taking a sh*t in there'?
Yep.
Jesus! Every time.
We're going the f*** out.
Is that ice cream?
You bought ice cream, Mikey?
Come on.
Yeah.
That's a great flavor.
Let me see it.
Hey. We're going out. No ice cream.
No. No.
You see, whiskey doesn't
mix well with ice cream.
- I need it.
- Oh, you need it?
Yes. You need it? What're
you, a fat teenage girl?
What're you, Bridget Jones?
Really?
Name calling'? Is that
what we're doing? Yeah.
Give me the ice cream.
No.
Give me the ice cream. I know that look.
Get away from me.
Give me the ice cream.
Backup, little man.
Give me the ice cream.
Get off, man.
Nobody gets ice cream!
That was awesome.
Did you throw it out the window?
We're going out.
I mean, I bet you thought you were
never going feel this again, man.
The excitement. The energy. You
don't get this in relationships.
I've been out of
the game so long
I forgot how much I miss this.
You were never in the game.
You were a married doctor.
Ah, whatever. Hey, do
you guys want a mint?
Yeah.
Here we go.
That's for you.
That's for you.
That's a weird mint, dude.
Yeah, I know.
It's Viagra.
You've got four hours to drink like
Keith Richards and still get hard.
Every good action movie
has a ticking clock. Right?
F***ing idiots.
Idiots.
I know!
Yeah, that's right.
I can't wait to get drunk.
I can't do this.
I can't do this.
Hey, come here.
Yes, you can.
Yes, you can.
You just need to be like,
"Hey! I'm a
good-looking doctor."
