You know, you can't

find them in France.

No.

And there's so many

ways to eat them.

Mmm. So many tasty combinations.

You know, I never thought that

I would be surrounded by boys.

Hmm. I know the feeling.

- Don't get me wrong.

- Mmm-hmm.

I love it. I think it's great.

I just think that it can be

just downright kind of

nasty sometimes. Like...

I really find myself

craving feminine energy.

What's this area?

This is just another

creative spot in the place.

- Um, it's a photography zone.

- Oh, cool.

It's where I take all the pictures

of the models who come in to, uh...

The people that pose for the...

Yeah, they come in, take the

photos, print the photos.

I can blow them up

to any size I want,

'cause as you can see,

it's extremely detailed.

You just paint based off

of the photos? -Yeah.

- That makes sense, yeah.

- Yeah.

Or I'll have them come in

and take pictures of me.

Oh, right, when you...

Yeah, a lot of them

are self portraits.

You want my advice, Emily?

Yeah.

You need to create

your own space.

One that is only yours.

- Mine, is this bedroom.

- Mm-hmm.

And Kurt's okay with that? He's okay

with all the girly stuff in here?

Ah, no, no, no, no.

This isn't Kurt's bedroom

at all.

No. This is my bedroom.

Oh, I'm sorry. I just assumed

that you guys were...

It's totally fine, you know.

It, it all started with him taking too

much time in the bathroom and then

I couldn't sleep with his

breathing noises but it's,

it's all for the best.

I love it.

- You love it?

- Mmm.

So you sleep in here alone?

This bedroom is mine.

It's only mine.

Mm-hmm.

And there are things that I do in my

bedroom that no one needs to know about.

You know you've got

a really great look.

- Uh...

- Anybody ever tell you that?

No.

You gotta a really neat thing

going on.

Mind if I snap a couple?

Um...

I think I might

need some direction or...

You don't. Just do whatever you

were just doing. It was great.

- Really?

- Yeah.

That's great. Relax.

- Like that?

- Yeah.

- Wait.

- Okay.

Your shirt's kind of blending

in with the backdrop.

Would you take it off, please?

- My shirt?

- Yeah.

All right.

You know, I would put money

on my husband just being

passed out on the floor

right now.

He usually has a bit of trouble keeping

it together when he smokes weed.

Oh, he seemed fine to me.

We'll see.

- One time in college...

- Mm-hmm.

He thought that he was breathing out

of his ears and he had a panic attack.

Be careful. Careful.

I'm serious. He did that.

- Like that?

- That's great, yeah.

That feels weird, like...

But you know what, it's weird in

real life, it's great on camera.

Yeah. You're looking for...

Hey!

- Oh, hey, guys. Hi.

- -Hey!

Hey.

- Um, what's up?

- -See?

I told you that he was gonna...

It's okay. Don't worry.

- What's up?

- Hey.

What are you...

What are you guys... -What we were doing

was just getting to the good part.

You were getting to the good part?

What does that mean?

Oh, it's okay.

It's just painting.

Yeah, hun, did you know

that Kurt was a painter?

No! Painted all these

beautiful paintings. Yeah.

I didn't know that.

And, uh, he's a

photographer too, which is...

Why were you on the ground?

There's nothing to worry about, Emily.

We were just free styling.

We got into a mood and

just went with it. -Yeah.

You're ridiculous.

Hey.

I've got a proposal to make.

My proposal's this.

That swimming pool out there has about 10,000

gallons of the freshest filtered water imaginable.

You can drink it.

It's got healing powers.

Now I think we all need to get in that

pool and let the f***ing healing begin.

I mean, who's with me? What do

you guys think? -I am with you.

Come on! -Come on, guys!

Let's go!

- Come on.

- Okay.

Hey!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Oh, whoa!

I'm coming, baby.

Come on, you guys.

- Normally, we would...

- -Yeah.

We forgot to bring

our suits with us.

No suits in the house,

au naturel.

Oh, my...

- Okay.

- -Feels so good.

You've got good form

on that, um...

I don't know.

There's nothing to discuss.

House rules. -Um...

All right, we'll probably come in.

We, we just need to, like...

- Take a minute.

- Um...

Just... We just need

to take a minute.

We're gonna have

a conversation, super quick.

Okay, look. Listen,

I'm like super f***ed up

right now.

I know.

- Are you f***ed up?

- Yeah.

Come in here.

I... I need to talk to you

about something serious.

What? What's going on?

I can't go skinny dipping

with them.

Why? I think it'll be

very exciting,

to be in the water with

Charlotte's ta-tas.

That's not what I'm talking

about and you know it.

I... You know, I can't... You know what...

You know what I'm talking about.

Oh, oh-oh-oh.

- Well...

- Honey.

How many times do I have to

reassure you about that?

Come on, guys.

This isn't the G8 Summit.

It wouldn't be so bad if we just have

to see his giant goddamn horse cock.

- You know?

- It's pretty big.

It's really, really big.

- Listen.

- Okay.

Listen,

if you're uncomfortable,

I will absolutely

follow your lead.

Okay.

You don't have to do

anything you don't want to.

Well, I'm not going to.

So, we talked and, um...

We don't wanna disrespect

your house rules, but...

We are not French.

- No.

- So we've never done this before...

Ever.

And we, we're just hoping

that underwear is...

Because that's as good

as we can...

Yeah. So we hope, we hope that

that's okay with you guys.

Absolutely, as long as

it's negotiable.

What are you doing?

You all right? -Yeah.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

- I'm fine.

- Should we race?

Go.

I feel weird.

Who's pool is this?

All right, that's a joke.

I don't know if that's...

I'm okay! I'm okay!

- Oh, my God.

- Whoa! Whoa, buddy.

Overboard. Over...

- Alex!

- Charlotte, help me.

I've got you, Alex.

I've got you. Come.

I've got you.

I've got you, Alex.

It's okay. Don't worry.

Everything's fine.

I've got you, Alex.

- Honey, are you...

- Oh, God.

Everything is gonna be fine.

Are you okay?

God. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- It's okay. Don't worry. It's fine.

- I'm so sorry.

Hey. Hey, stop that nonsense. You think it's the

first time somebody has yacked near the pool?

No, it's not.

Honey, you wanna

go home, honey?

No. I wanna stay here forever.

Are you sure, honey? I think you

kinda almost died in the pool.

I ruined everything. I don't

wanna be a party pooper.

No, you didn't.

No, he's right. He doesn't

wanna be a party pooper.

You know what? I've got the

perfect thing for you.

We're gonna get you cleaned up

and calmed down, okay?

Yeah. -Let's get him up,

let's get him up over here.

Oh, thanks, man.

Oh, sweetie. Are you sure, are

you sure that's a good idea?

Yeah, puke and rally.

- Remember?

- Right.

Puke and rally was our slogan in college.

First year, puke and rally.

That's my guy, everybody.

Mr. Puke and Rally.

Just do us a favor, okay?

And if you're...

Listen to your body, and if you're starting to feel
