- Are you gonna tell me where we're going?

- It's a secret.

Now, you're like me. You're

a married man. -Oh, yeah!

- Right?

- Yeah, yeah, totally.

It's like that expression, "Show

me a guy with a beautiful wife",

I'll show you a guy who's tired

to making love to her. "

I think what I'm trying

to say is that...

I mean, isn't it okay for us

to fantasize at this stage

in our lives and relationships? I mean,

aren't we entitled to a little bit of that?

Yeah.

It's okay for you to want to

think about doing other things

and in some cases,

consider doing those things.

Right.

You know.

- You only live once.

- Yeah.

This way.

OK. I've got something

to show you.

All you've gotta do

is look through here.

I'll be quick.

Charlotte, you're not gonna tell me

what the f*** is going on right now?

Shh! Don't ruin the surprise.

What surprise?

Charlotte, where are you going?

This is pretty weird.

Charlotte? Charlotte?

Are you f***ing...

Are you kidding me?

Charlotte? Charlotte?

I- I knew you wouldn't come if I

had told you where we were going.

I'm kind of out of my mind

right now, Charlotte.

I mean, that was... That was... That was

nuts, what happened in there, right?

Try being married for ten years, and

then you'll tell me what's nuts.

That doesn't make any sense to me. I've seen you

guys together. You have insane sex chemistry.

I wish.

I mean...

- Does Kurt know about this?

- No.

Why should he?

It wouldn't change anything.

Anyway,

it's a bummer, 'cause...

Kurt has a lot to offer.

As I'm sure, you saw.

Yeah.

You know I'm the only guy

Emily's ever been with?

- No sh*t?

- Yeah.

I mean, I guess she's satisfied. I mean, she says

she has everything she needs under one roof, so...

What?

- Come on. You're not...

- What?

Well, it's just, you know...

Well, a woman is always gonna

wonder what's going on next to her.

They're just sometimes

scared to admit it.

Scared to open that

delicious little box.

What took so long?

Was the journey a success?

Yeah. The place I usually go to was closed,

so, we had to bounce around a bit.

All right.

Did you get the stuff?

- Yeah, I did.

- Let's see.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Hey, honey.

- Hey.

- Honey. Honey.

- What?

There's some seriously weird sh*t

just went down out there. -What now?

What do you... What do

you mean, "What now?"

I mean, you think everything's

weird tonight. So, what now?

- I don't think everything's weird tonight.

- You know what?

- You brought me to California, okay?

- Uh-huh.

So I'm trying to make the best of it

and you're just shitting all over it.

- Alex.

- What?

Alex, you're really being

kind of a dick right now.

I'm trying...

Daddy, Mama!

You know what? Don't worry about it.

I'll get it.

- Okay.

- -Daddy will get that.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

All right. You go boy!

Hey, if it's Max who's crying and he doesn't

remember you, just remind him who you are.

Emily, can I get

you a stiff one?

Please.

Oh, my God!

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yes. It's fine.

Can I talk to you?

Mm-hmm. Of course.

Come and sit on my bed.

Yeah, yeah, okay.

Okay.

Right now?

Huh.

This is, uh...

You got a couch and a...

Like a love seat type

thing, I think that's...

It must be handy...

Yeah, yeah.

You know, depending on what

mood you're in, I guess, for...

For reading a novel or something,

I would imagine it's really cozy.

Yeah, and you're wearing

the perfect outfit.

This cozy robe.

That's right.

And these ones here, they just

came to me in a dream one night.

What happened was like,

I woke up one morning

and bam, a voice f***ing

yelling in my ears. -Kurt...

Yes, ma'am? -I don't wanna talk

about your paintings any more.

- What do you wanna talk about?

- I wanna talk about you.

And I wanna talk

about your wife.

And I wanna talk about

what is going on here.

Okay.

What do you do?

You are a salesman

of water filters?

And you can somehow

afford this house doing that?

Or do you make all this money

selling these paintings?

Which, Kurt, I've gotta say,

what are they?

Are they supposed to be

close-ups of a**holes or what?

That's so funny. Both you and your

husband got that immediately.

Huh.

I feel like I need to clear

some things up for you.

Yes. Please do. Clarity

sounds just great to me.

In some places, Nordic places,

where the winters are cold and

long and it gets dark early,

people like to

masturbate to this.

And not only this,

but lots of the titles that we have

available on our Mommy's Milk series.

I'm here to present you the

new Breast Pumpadella 2000.

You know, I can see in Kurt's eyes

that he really enjoys both of you.

Especially you.

- Yeah?

- Mm.

I think you're gonna

be his new buddy.

- That's great. Thank you.

- Yeah.

Emily and I are gonna

be buddies too.

Don't you think so?

Yeah. I mean, I hope so.

I'm sorry if she's like...

- Like tight or something.

- Mm-hmm.

- Do you know what I mean?

- Yes, a little bit.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

I mean, I've been

encouraging her to loosen up.

Yeah.

But there's only so much you

can do, you know. -Yeah.

- Yeah, I can totally understand that.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

But, uh...

Yeah, 'cause I really like her.

Oh, cool!

That's great.

- I really like her.

- Cool, cool, cool. Yeah. Yeah.

- Well...

- And I like you too, Alex.

Yeah. Thanks.

- Do you like me?

- Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, you know...

- Do you find me attractive?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

- Sure, yeah.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Of course. I mean,

you're very attractive.

Do you think that, um,

if we weren't already married,

that I could be someone, uh,

with whom you'd wanna have sex?

Uh, well...

Yes.

- Yeah.

- Mm-hmm?

But, you know, we can't, so...

Mm.

The milk is then filtered

from the breast shield

into the retainer.

What we have produced,

so beautiful.

Nurturing milk

for the little baby to enjoy.

- Kurt...

- Ah, Sun Tzu.

This is pretty f***ed up.

Come on, Emily. The internet's a vast

sea of depravity. You know that.

What we're producing simply fulfills a

niche without anybody getting hurt.

- No harm, no foul...

- So you're telling me

that there are hundreds of

strange Nordic men masturbating

to your wife and you have

no problem with that?

No, I don't.

And Charlotte has

no problem with that?

Something tells me you would know that

Charlotte doesn't have a problem with that.

We're buddies.

- Yeah, yeah. We're buddies.

- So, we can't...

- We're buddies.

- Yeah.

- We're buddies.

- We're buddies.

Whoo!

You are tense, sweetheart. You're

really tense. -I know, I-I...

- I thought we wanted to loosen up.

- Sorry.

Yeah, no, I do,

I want to loosen up,

but I guess I'm just wondering

what loosen up means

at this point.

It's just a friends' kiss.

- It's just a friends' kiss?

- Mm-hmm.

It's just a friends' kiss.

- It's just a friends' kiss.

- Yeah.

Hello? Guys?

Alex?

- Honey?

- Guys?

Alex?

Oh! That's the spot.

- What did that sound like to you?

- Don't know.
