I don't know what

you're talking about.

You do know!

What do you have

that I don't?

Nothing.

Don't walk away from me!

What do you want me

to say to you?!

Why are you

better at this than I am?

We talk, laugh...

We listen.

No, no, no.

How do you f*** her

better than I do?

Stop.

- How do you f*** her?

- I don't.

You can't!

You don't even ha...

- I can.

- How?

It's different every time.

You f***in' dyke!

Greg!

I would do anything for her!

- Greg! Get off her!

- Let her go, dude!

Get off her!

Bridget!

Sh*t! Bridget!

Bridget, wait!

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

No.

- Did he hurt you?

- No.

- What is wrong with me?

- There's nothing wrong with you.

Why is she still with him?

They have a past. I get that.

Look at Trip.

There's nothing wrong

with Trip, Chloe!

Trip just saved my ass, okay?

And that is what girls want.

They want their

schmuck of a Heathcliff

to come in from nowhere

and 'Linton' them.

What?

Sorry, I'm trying to

Linton-like the verb.

Are you making casual

"Wuthering Heights" references?

- Yeah.

- It's weird.

I can be both.

I mean, I can be.

I can be the...

the unreliable douche nozzle

who grabs her ass in public

and wears work boots,

but I can also be the one

who holds doors for her

and tucks her in at night

and buys her f***ing gerber

daisies for no goddamn reason!

I know you can.

I'm gonna go

kick his ass right now.

No, no, no, no.

Come on, Bridge.

No. I'm done with this!

Don't say that.

I just did.

Did she go home with him?

- I don't know.

- F***!

You f***ing straight girls!

You're all just a bunch

of f***ing closet cases!

Maybe we should all

just date guys.

I mean, maybe I should

have a f***ing boyfriend!

My heart is, like,

on the floor right now!

I wish a car would just

come and f***ing hit me!

- Want me to hail a cab?

- No, I'm talking bus!

- Goddamn it, I hate her.

- No, you don't.

Yes, I do. I hate her!

I hated her from the

second I saw her!

I hate her! I hate her!

I hate her! I hate her!

I...

don't hate her.

I had nothing to say to her.

Right.

I think I actually said to her,

"You're completely welcome."

"You're completely welcome."

Who says that?

No one.

Thanks.

What?

What do you mean, what?

I lost her.

I can't believe

that I lost her.

She just... got me.

You know?

It was easy.

It never felt like we had

to try or anything.

We just fell into this thing...

We could always just be ourselves.

Are tears really made out of

the same things as boogers?

Yeah.

I taste the boogers, you know.

I like the way

that Chloe looks at me.

You should be

with the person that...

Gets you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

[Cell phone vibrating]

Hey.

Is everything okay?

Good.

A**hole.

F***er.

?

Hey.

Hi.

I like the way we feel together.

We fit.

I've... I've never fit with

anyone the way that we do.

I don't know what I'd do

if I thought you'd

never kiss me again.

I love the way you kiss me...

Like... like you don't want

anything but to kiss me.

But...

It isn't that easy.

Is it?

I really do need someone who

chain-smokes on street corners

and talks about Bronte until

I also need

someone who wants

a family and that whole life.

I tried.

I'm - I'm trying.

I know.

That's why I'm here...

with you right now.

God, there was so much

that I wanted

to say to you last night...

But I couldn't.

Um... I can't.

You keep me interested.

That's what I wanted

to say last night.

You...

You keep me

completely interested.

That look.

It means 'I love you.'

So...

So...

?

She earned the Maverick Award from the Los Angeles Women's Theatre Festival in 2016.In an interview, she described her interest in writing as stemming from her time at NYU. She and her friends figured that "you have to make your own work." And so she wrote her first script for them to workshop as actors. As for her thematic interests, she recounts what happened after The Four-Faced Liar got released: "I had the opportunity to go into meetings with crazy big people. The one question that came up repeatedly was 'what kind of work do you want to do for the rest of your life?' The first time someone asked me that, I answered it so truthfully that I shocked myself. I said, 'I just want to write dark comedies for women that don't ostracize a male audience.'"Ryan wrote and directed the film 6 Balloons, released in March 2018, and is drafting the reboot of Splash starring Channing Tatum and Jillian Bell. She has been tapped to spearhead the sequel to The L Word, currently in development at Showtime, as executive producer and showrunner. more…
