- It's so tiny.

It's adorable.

Hey.

Hi.

What you doing?

Nothing. What are you doing?

Nothing.

Have you...

Have I what?

Nothing.

Never mind.

So, what's on

the agenda for today?

I was going to maybe

go explore some more

and you know, just...

If that's okay.

- Of course.

- What about you?

I don't know. I thought I'd maybe

just hang out here, read.

Sounds nice.

Maybe I'll come by in a little bit

and we can spend some time.

Whatever you want.

Great.

Oh, I found your phone.

- Thanks.

- Mmm-hmm.

Come on.

Hello.

I'm up here.

Watch your head, okay?

Very cute up here.

It's a little small.

What are you doing up here?

I'm feeling very big.

I feel enormous.

Um, I'm glad you're here

because there is something

I want to talk to you about.

And ifs a bit of

an elephant in the room,

and I think it's time

we discuss it.

- All right.

- Okay.

- This...

- Oh, that.

is happening.

- Oh, Well.

- Ladies first.

In that case.

- Who the f*** starts with O?

- I know.

- Who the hell do you think you are?

- It's crazy.

Goddamn anarchist.

All right.

I'll just do an X in the middle.

That's a great move.

I think I see

where this is headed.

I'm not quite sure yet.

Yeah, I'm going to

block you there.

- Where do you think I should go?

- How's it going to end?

What do you think I

should do'?

- Who's going to win?

- Oh, the suspense!

Oh, yes, and there it is.

What's your next game?

My next game is something

that is appropriate

for people

over the age of six.

I think that's a thing.

Why don't you kiss me any more?

Um, I've enjoyed

just hanging out

and reconnecting and...

I have, too.

I know, but I love kissing you

and I miss it.

Is there something I'm doing

that's bothering you or...

Oh my God, no, not at all.

Because I feel like

we're having a good time?

- We're having a great time.

- Yeah.

- Give me this.

- You're taking my chalk.

That's my...

That's my chalk.

I know it's your chalk.

Hey.

All right.

This is weird,

but I think

some of my shins are missing.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Are you sure they're not

just hanging in the closet

and you didn't pack them

like you usually do'?

Mo, no. Stuff that I packed

is not here.

- Well, that's weird.

- Yeah. That's weird.

What's so funny?

Oh, nothing, I guess.

Just a funny text.

Oh yeah?

Who's texting you?

Um...

Wait, he's texting you?

Babe, it's nothing.

It's just a text, okay?

I'm not upset.

I just think it's weird.

They have cellphones?

What plan

do they even have?

- Thanks.

- Mmm-hmm.

So nice outside today.

Um...

Can I ask you a question?

Of course.

Why did you do n?

Why did you cheat on me?

I'm sorry.

That's probably...

- That's okay.

- Not something you want to...

No, that's okay.

I have been thinking

about that a bit this weekend,

and

I have no excuse.

Of course I was insecure

and of course we were

drifting apart at the time

and instead of trying

to communicate

I lashed out and I made

a terrible decision,

and

that's...

Right.

No, let me finish.

That's no excuse.

You had every right

to abandon me,

but you didn't,

and you stuck in there with me

and you went to see that stupid

therapist that we see,

even though we didn't want to,

and you kept going,

and you kept trying,

and you met me halfway

and I was defensive

and I'm sorry about that.

And I want to say thank you

for making those efforts for us,

and I promise you

I'm going to do my best

to meet you there, okay?

I promise.

Hello.

Hey.

I didn't hear you

get up this morning.

I just came down to see

if there was anything on TV.

What, do you think

I'm lying to you?

No.

No, I was...

Just seemed to...

Is there anything

you want to talk about?

No.

There anything

you want to talk about?

Look, this weekend

is super weird...

- That's okay, right?

- Yeah.

I mean, you know,

I think it can be confusing,

but I just...

You know it's not real, right?

I mean, I'm not that guy

out there doing sit-ups...

And I could never

be really interested

in some other version of you,

knowing that my real Sophie

is here...

- Right.

- And I just...

I want to make sure

you still agree.

Yeah.

Of course.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

Okay.

- Okay. We good?

- Yeah, we're good.

- Of course we're good.

- All right.

Thanks a lot for calling me at two in

the morning. I really appreciate it.

Like I don't have a job

to wake up for tomorrow.

Maybe next time you can't

remember where you five,

you should ask your wife.

I'm not sure

what you were doing

at two in the morning anyway, but...

Hey Bunny.

It's mama.

I was just thinking about

our conversation yesterday.

I don't know.

You just didn't sound

like your usual self,

so I just wanted to be sure

you're okay...

Hey, man. The street

you grew up on was Berkman.

Hope that clears things up.

Talk to you soon.

Hey.

- Hey.

- Um...

So something really weird

just happened.

I got a bunch of voice mails

from my mom and Doug and Dave

saying I had called them

asking really weird questions,

but I didn't call them.

- That is weird.

- Yeah.

Do you think

you pocket dialed them?

I don't think the pocket dial

makes as much sense

because I was talking

and asking questions.

- I would have...

- So what do you think it was?

Oh, you think

that he called them.

Yeah, and to me

that's a logical conclusion.

He looks like me.

He sounds like me.

He's got a cellphone.

I think he might be

impersonating me or something.

Right. I just don't think that

he would do that.

Do you think

you know him that well?

Well, I mean I know him

a little better than you do.

You've never met him.

But I mean it's weird.

I can totally

ask him if you want.

No, that's okay.

- It's just...

- Okay.

- It's just a weird thing.

- Okay.

It is weird.

I'm going to go to the store.

Do you want me to get you anything?

Uh, no. I'm good.

- Thanks.

- Well, you can come if you want.

Do you mind

if I just hang out here?

- Of course not.

- Okay.

Okay.

Hey, babe.

Uh, sorry.

Great.

Hey.

Is this a bad time?

No, no.

I was, doing some sit-ups.

I need to talk to you.

What do you want

to talk about?

What happened

the last time I was here.

Yeah, that was obviously

important. Yeah.

Ethan, you're so good

at articulating

exactly what it is

that I'm feeling

in a way

that I can't even do,

and ifs everything

that I've been wanting to hear,

but now I don't know

what to do.

I can't get it

out of my head.

Well, I'm glad I said

what you wanted to hear,

you know.

Is there anything else

you wanted to see me about?

I've missed this.

Me too.

Hi.

Where are the groceries?

What?

What about the store?

What happened?

- The store was closed.

- Oh.

Hey, how about I make us

a couple of mimosas?

I'm not really in the mood

for a mimosa right now, Sophie.

Aw, come on.

It'll be fun.

We'll have a drink.

We'll relax.

Start this day off right.

Then we can talk about

whatever is bothering you.
