Way hotter than

the pics you sent me.

Have a drink.

Relax.

Be comfy, man.

You wanna see something

better than that.

How does he have

all that money again?

Uh, trust fund.

His grandparents own like

half of thousand oaks.

She's beautiful, tara,

don't you think?

She's okay.

Don't go there, babe.

I'm not doing that with you.

Doing what?

That whole "is that girl

prettier than me?" thing you do.

I mean, why are you

asking me that?

Look, you never even

mentioned her.

You never told me about her

for a year.

You didn't even mention her

by name.

It was just

"christian's girlfriend."

And you really didn't tell me

what a douchebag that guy is.

Christ!

The reason I never mentioned her

is that we never really hung out

Until she started

helping me with the movie.

Why was she even

helping you out?

She was bored.

She needed something to do

besides shopping and f***ing.

I mean, jon and I

did most of the work,

But she helped out a little,

I guess.

She did push you

for the part.

I know it was probably a favor

to me and christian,

But without her, I don't know

what would've happened.

And then after casting,

she just disappeared.

She just stopped coming by

the production office.

I haven't seen her

in like a month.

Hey.

Thanks.

I told you not to text me.

Why can't I text you?

Because he looks

at my phone.

Why can't we meet

at my place?

That's not gonna happen

anymore.

So that's who you're with.

Jesus.

Who'd you think you were-

So this is the guy

that gave you the mercedes

And has a private jet

and takes you to maui

And lives in the f***ing

mansion in malibu.

Ryan, please.

Last night killed me.

Why?

Because I finally saw you

with him.

I know you better

than he does.

You're not happy, tara.

Who said anything

about happy?

He takes care of me,

and he's in love with me.

It's serious.

F*** it, ryan. Who's happy?

Who's really happy?

- Tell me.

- Gina.

- Oh, of course.

- Gina is. Gina's happy.

Right, another reason why I

couldn't stand being around her.

And-you really do

all that sh*t?

Couples?

Random guys f***ing you?

- Jesus, tara.

- Ryan, stop.

This isn't

going anywhere, okay?

So there's no point

in having this discussion.

This has to end.

We can't do this anymore.

Why are you asking me

all this now?

Because I hadn't met him before,

and I do care.

I think about you all the time.

I can't help it.

And it makes me sick.

Can't get the things he

makes you do out of my mind.

- Ryan-

- How do you think I felt

Watching him flashing pictures

on his f***ing phone

In front of me?

Last night made me sick.

It made me f***in' sick.

We can't do this anymore.

This has gotta end.

What's gotta end, hmm?

What?

F***ing me

for the last four weeks?

You wanna end that?

Stop, ryan.

You ever tell him about me?

Did you ever tell him

That you fell in love with me

three years ago?

That you dumped me

when you realized

I was the guy

who might not make it,

That you essentially

abandoned me

For a bunch

of rich douchebags?

- And now that a**hole?

- Ryan!

Who are you, ryan?

You're still bartending.

You're still working for randall

as a part-time assistant

At a f***ing hotel.

This dumb little movie's not

going to do anything for you.

- Then why push me for it?

- Oh, I don't know.

Because I care about you

and knew how much you wanted it?

See, that's what

I'm saying, baby.

I loved you so much, baby.

We had so much fun together.

I never got over it

when you left.

It killed me, and I tried

so hard to let it go.

I tried so hard

to let go of it.

And just when I think I'm

gonna make it without you,

Gina suddenly started talking

about her boss's girlfriend.

But this girl she described

didn't sound anything like you.

And then when I saw you

at that audition...

I'm still

so in love with you.

I don't f***in' want to be,

but I am.

I'm with him now.

I'm with him.

What are you thinking?

You think you're gonna nail

this guy, move in with him?

You think that creep's

gonna marry you?

Ryan, don't go there.

It's hard for me, too, okay?

It's hard for me, too.

That's why I tried helping you

with the movie 'cause I care.

But you don't have to go and say

things that are gonna hurt me.

- Leave him. Get out of there.

- And do what?

I don't know. Come back to me.

We'll get a job.

- We'll move in together.

- Get a job and do what, ryan?

Do you not remember how hard

we were busting our asses?

Do you remember those days?

No, wait. Probably not because

you're still living them.

I'm not going back

to that, ryan.

I'm not going back

to going on auditions

For jobs I'm never gonna get.

For bartending

for 8 bucks a f***ing hour.

I'm not gonna do it.

Do you remember

how hard it was for us?

We were always f***ing broke.

We were busting our asses.

We couldn't even pay

the f***ing rent, ryan.

We couldn't pay

the f***ing rent.

That wasn't fun for me.

I'm not going back to that.

And I need someone

to take care of me.

And I needed someone

to take care of me.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Want me to get you

something to drink?

Yes. Water.

Oh. How was your day?

It was fine.

Why don't you tell me

about your day instead?

Okay. I got up, and I taught

two yoga sessions this morning,

And then, oh, I went

to that audition,

You know, the one that

I told you about last time.

It was awful.

I definitely didn't get the job,

but whatever.

Oh, my god,

and then sheely called me,

And she started telling me

all about this guy.

- Goddamn it!

- What?

What's wrong?

Why the f***

did you do that? Why?

I just get into it

with you, okay?

I'm sorry.

I can't help it.

Look...

This... Is just this.

What does that mean?

I think you're hot.

I have fun.

But it's not changing

my situation.

Okay, what's really

going on here?

I think tara's

seeing somebody.

Oh, Jesus.

Christian, what does that

even mean, okay?

Considering what you guys do.

I mean, do you even care?

Yes, I care.

I care a lot.

What, you think

she's cheating on you?

She was acting really, really

strange at dinner last night.

I couldn't figure out why.

And then today she met some guy

in the morning for coffee.

- It's just, she-

- Okay.

I mean, how do you know

that she met someone?

- What, did she tell you?

- No.

Okay, did-

what, did the guy tell you?

No.

Um...

I've got some stuff

I have to do today.

I think you better leave.

And I don't think

you should come back here.

And why's that?

I can't handle this anymore.

Need some cash?

No. Christian,

I don't need any cash.

Just-just get out.

Come on, cynthia.

Get the f*** out.

Get the f*** out of here!

I'm really sorry that

I didn't congratulate you

On starting

your own pr company.

I mean, that must be

really exciting.

Don't congratulate me just yet.

It hasn't really taken off.

But you know,

if it wasn't for christian

I'd never have been able

to start it.

Yeah. Christian can be

very helpful that way.
