So dinner was fun

last night.

I'm sorry if I, you know,

seemed out of it and such.

I was just really

preoccupied with things.

I know how christian gets.

And I have to say that ryan

was a little shocked by him.

But he really liked him.

He thought he was a great guy.

Oh, really? He did?

Yeah.

Thought he was really cool.

You know, good guys are really

hard to come by these days,

- So you're a very lucky girl.

- Tell me about it.

I can't believe I actually

found someone so genuine.

He's a great guy.

Look, this was nice.

I just, um-

I'm sorry. I just wanted

to know something.

What?

Why are you off the movie?

I mean, you're not coming

to new mexico, right?

Oh, no. Yeah, I can't.

No, I can't do that.

I'm just curious because

I'm finalizing everything,

And, I don't know, you just

seemed so into it a month ago.

Yeah, I mean...

Okay, tell me something.

Do you really like movies?

Yeah!

- Really, really like movies?

- Of course!

When's the last time you went

to see a movie in the theater?

A movie that you really thought

meant something to you?

We went to the premiere

last week-

Not premieres.

Premieres don't really count.

I don't know, you know.

I guess maybe it's just

not my thing anymore.

And plus I don't wanna be

away from christian

For that long, I guess.

I get it.

I totally get it.

I wouldn't want to be away

from ryan for that long either.

No, it's just,

at the time I was bored,

And I needed

something to do.

And so that's why

I got involved, and...

You know, now I'm looking for

something else to do, so...

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm just-

I just have

a lot of stuff going.

I'm so preoccupied and...

Look, I really have to go.

Wait! Stop.

It's on me.

I can bill it

to the production.

Seriously.

Tara, it's okay.

Thank you.

Good seeing you, gina.

Um, we'll talk soon.

Bye.

Bye, tara.

Yo.

- So I just had lunch with her.

- Yeah, and?

- Nothing.

- Nothing.

Nope. Nothing.

She said really nice things

about you.

I mean, she seemed

a little tense, but nothing.

She's not coming to new mexico

because she said she'd miss you.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Christian,

I'm just wondering.

What did you think

she was gonna say to me?

Nothing, babe.

I just want the chance

For the two of you

to reconnect.

I gotta go.

I'll talk to you later.

Uh, okay.

I'll be at the office.

All right, babe.

See you there.

Oh, very good. Sexy.

Yeah. Keep it.

Ha ha.

Pick up your chin.

Yes, very good. Smile.

Muscle up. Come on.

Give me some attitude.

That's good. Profile.

Lower the chin.

Very good.

Billy, switch the lights.

He's pretty cute.

Not again, doll.

It's not gonna work.

Ryan, on your mark.

Hey, ryan.

That's your name, right?

Right. Get on the mark.

Good. Keep it right there.

Okay.

Yeah, a month. Yeah.

But zander said he would find

someone to take my place

Just until I got back.

No, jeff, zander said it was

cool if he gave me his shifts.

Jeff!

Jeff, come on, man.

I just really need the cash.

If you're gonna make me beg,

then f*** it.

I'll see you later. Bye.

- I'm gonna head on up.

- All right.

Thanks, man.

We're also handling

the leo event,

The green global thing?

Listen, I gotta go.

Ryan's here.

I know it isn't.

Yeah, I think we're all

about to find out why.

Later.

Ah! Even on his day off,

It is always a pleasure

to see my favorite assistant.

Thanks, randall, for the first

and only compliment

I'm going to receive today.

Oh, I'm sorry.

What's wrong?

I- I was just, uh-

I was just trying to get

extra shifts at the bar,

But jeff's being a prick.

Well, what can I do

to help?

Well, I was wondering

if there was anything else

I could do around here.

You know, when I offered you

this job, it was full-time.

I know, I know.

But I let you make it part-time

because you wanted it that way.

Randall, I'm going

to new mexico for a month.

They're barely paying me

anything to do this movie.

I really need the cash.

Can I ask you something?

Have you ever considered-

I don't know.

Making plans

for a sustainable future?

Hmm?

What am I

gonna do with you?

You've been really cool,

randall.

I really, you know-

You know how much I appreciate

what you've done for me.

You know you'll have

this job waiting for you

When you get back.

You know that, right?

You'll have this, at least.

I'm so strapped.

What is it?

Oh, man, I totally forgot

I have this appointment.

Yeah, of course you did.

Well, I will see you

tomorrow, ryan.

And I'll see

what I can find for you.

- Thanks, randall.

- Uh-huh.

Shh. Don't worry, baby.

Gonna be all right.

Gonna be okay.

- He in?

- Hey. Yeah.

- Let me just tell him-

- Keep an eye on that for me.

Oh-

Hey, christian.

No girls allowed.

Hey, christian.

What's that?

Going over effects

the budget will allow.

Even though my boyfriend

is the effects supervisor,

He's not doing this for free,

so we have to pick and choose.

That little b*tch.

I wanna talk to you

about something.

Yep?

What is it?

Ryan.

Ryan.

Another topic my boyfriend

loves to hate.

Really? Why's that?

Every movie I've produced,

He thinks I'm trying

to bang the leading man,

And, uh, half the time,

he's been wrong.

I want you to call ryan in

tomorrow.

Tell him he's been replaced.

What? Why?

What happened?

What's gerald's problem?

This has nothing

to do with gerald,

And ryan's not actually

being replaced.

I don't get it.

Just call ryan in

and tell him

That gerald's thinking of

taking him out of the movie.

And you, jon,

can convince him otherwise

If ryan's willing

to do something for you.

Like what?

Tell him he gets to keep

the part if he sleeps with you.

Why the hell

would I do that?

Favor to me.

You're not joking, huh?

No, I am not.

Christian,

I'm friends with gina.

Ryan is totally straight.

Really?

You think

he's totally straight?

That's what I believe, yeah.

So how did he get the job

at the hotel, huh?

'Cause he's so straight

or 'cause he's so, um, smart?

Christian, I'm best friends

with gina,

And I can't do this to her.

Jon, jon, jon.

Relax.

It's just a prank.

Test ryan,

see what his reaction is.

Afterwards, you can tell him

it's a joke.

And if he has the balls

to go to gina

And tell her about

your little prank,

Then just say,

"christian put me up to it."

Blame it on me.

I'll take full responsibility.

Chris, I don't think

I can do this.

Jon, there are a lot

of people in this town

Who call themselves

producers.

You're just one.

Okay.

Okay.

But I still don't get it.

You don't need to.

Besides, you might get lucky.

Hey, tara!

Baby!

Hi.

What'd you do today?

- I went to the gym.

- Which gym?

Equinox.

The gym that I'm a member of.

The one on westwood

or the one on sunset?

The one in west hollywood.

Why'd you go to the one

in west hollywood?

Because it was closer to where

I was meeting gina for lunch.

What time did you

go to the gym?

Tell me something,
