Where did you get these?

Where you hid them.

Your mother and I weren't on

speaking terms with Greta.

-It was in your best interest--

-My best interest?

What, to make me think

my own grandmother didn't Iove me?

You had no right to do that to me!

I had a right, Bridget.

I'm your father.

It's my job to protect you.

Protect me? From what?

I can take care of myseIf, Dad.

In case you hadn't noticed,

I've been doing it for years.

[JULIA LAUGHS]

Ladies.

Sorry.

...and have the great good fortune

of working very cIoseIy with me.

...9 a.m.?

By my troth, an hour I know not weII.

[LAUGHING]

I wouId Iike everyone to prepare...

...a monoIogue or

a scene from the pIay.

Oh, God, I couId vomit, I'm so nervous.

Are you kidding? You're gonna be fine.

I'II run Iines with you.

Thanks.

HeIIo and weIcome.

Pardon me?

To figure drawing, I mean.

Nervous? No.

Oh, God, no.

I've never officiaIIy

Okay.

ANNIKA:

Okay, that's it for today.

Thanks, Leo.

He's a nude modeI,

Lena, not a porn star.

Hey, Tibby? The return box is so jammed,

nothing'II fit through the sIot, do you mind?

Yes, I absoIuteIy mind.

It's inconsiderate of the customers...

...and interferes

with the timeIy coIIection of Iate fees.

I'm gonna caII you back.

-But, Tibby--

-Just send the sketch.

-Hey.

-Hey.

-ShouId I have caIIed?

-No, I Iove surprises.

-Good, because--

MAN:
Tibby!

I'm with a customer!

Hi.

Happy anniversary.

It's 1 0 months today. And I thought...

...we shouId ceIebrate.

You have a good memory.

I'm a romantic guy.

And I have a caIendar on my ceII phone.

[PLASTIC CLATTERING]

MAN:
Tibby!

-Oh, God.

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS ON STEREO]

You convinced your boss

to give you the weekend off?

I toId them the creators

of ''Dragon's Lair'' ...

...were giving me a Iifetime

achievement award.

-No, seriousIy.

-I toId them the truth.

That I had to see

my favorite person in the worId.

Oh, and you too.

WeII, your favorite person in the

whoIe wide worId is cIearIy incompetent.

HeIp.

You have to-- WeII....

[LAUGHS]

Okay, that was way too simpIe.

How's everything so simpIe for you?

Everything's simpIe.

I mean, you don't pIay games...

...you don't take three days

to caII a girI back.

WouId you Iike me to give you

a simpIe answer?

Go on.

Because...I Iove you.

-That simpIe, huh?

-Yep.

-It's that simpIe.

-It's that simpIe.

So you just use the L word

and I'm supposed to...

...swoon?

Get a IittIe emotionaI?

That'd be nice.

Okay.

I'm not gonna fight you here.

I know you reaIIy want me to, but I can't.

-You sure?

-I think so. Okay.

TIBBY:
So now that we have

a new anniversary to ceIebrate...

...I just want you to know

that even though I am a feminist...

...I stiII do enjoy a nice box

of chocoIates.

And I don't hate aII poetry.

You okay in there?

What's wrong?

Uh.... I think, um....

I think we had a maIfunction.

It's not a computer. What do you mean?

It broke.

I don't understand.

Those things Iast forever in IandfiIIs.

-When did it break?

-I don't know.

Look, I mean,

I was a IittIe preoccupied, you know.

-Are you sure that it was a reaI one?

-Of course it was reaI.

My uncIe gave it to me for graduation,

you know. I was saving it.

For two years?

Brian....

God.

What was I, just Iike the first girI

to say yes?

Of course not.

I wasn't the first girI?

No, I mean, of course you are.

Bathroom.

[DOOR OPENS]

Tibby...

...Iook, I understand that you're worried.

I'm not worried.

I just have to work on my script,

you know, because it's due soon.

It's okay.

You sure? Okay.

MAN:
It's gotta come down at Ieast

six inches. It's gotta cIear it.

Can we hoId the work, pIease?

And the rest is siIence.

Ian, it's your time.

What you do stiII betters what is done.

When you speak, sweet,

I wouId have you do it ever.

[CLICKS]

And for the ordering your affairs,

to sing them too--

KERR:

Ian?

CARMEN:

Oh, my God, I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

Are you okay? I don't know what

happened. Are you okay?

As Iong as it wasn't

a comment on my acting.

No, I wasn't even watching you.

-Now, that hurts.

-No, that's not what I meant.

KERR:

Where the heII is the technicaI director?

-Okay, you're fine.

-I'm fine.

-Okay.

KERR:
Go around. Go around. PIease.

Okay. Sorry.

KERR:
Ian?

-I'm okay, BiII.

MAN:

I think it's a jaw.

BRIDGET:

Oh, awesome.

See? ShouId've brushed more.

Hey, guys. Cheese!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[LAUGHING]

Have a seat. Good day in the dirt?

Great, I aImost have Hector

aII the way out.

Hector. Very heroic name.

What makes you think it's a he?

The size of the skuII.

We found a femaIe skuII Iast week.

And what did you name her?

CIeo.

I've been searching for the Iast few bits of

her because her skeIeton's aImost compIete.

It reaIIy doesn't get to you, does it?

No, why wouId it? I mean,

these peopIe are way Iong gone.

And what is ''way Iong''?

How do you caIcuIate the moment

when a person's death becomes scientific...

...rather than emotionaI?

I don't know. I guess when the Iast person

they knew died.

Then you, my friend, have a thing

or two to Iearn from the Greeks.
