kids, we shouldn't have gotten married.

Nice.

What? I'm just saying.

We're gonna tackle the big issues tonight!

(Ryan) So, where's Ginger and Chris?

(Lisa) I told them not to come until 7:30, so that

we could have some time to discuss the situation.

(Josh) The puppet master.

(Lisa) Stop calling me that.

Wow. That picture is amazing.

They got another TV?

Check it out.

Sloppy already.

So. Chris and Ginger are coming together?

No. Separately.

What was she doing in Texas?

I have no idea because

she's not on Facebook.

People who aren't on Facebook

think they're so cool.

No offense, Bree.

But really it's just a huge pain in

the ass for anybody who loves them...

because how are we

supposed to keep in touch?

Yeah. And she never checks her email, okay?

She has this whole thing about how

email exists as a convenience to us...

and we're not supposed

to let it run our lives.

And she says we have to consciously

decide how much time we're gonna give it.

See? This is why I love her.

Who else says stuff like that?

I don't have time to consciously decide to

do anything. What am I gonna do, call her?

I don't have time to call everybody I want

to keep in touch with. I have children.

Well, she has Oliver.

Yeah, but he's 10. And there's a

huge difference between one and two.

When you have your first, you think it's so hard,

but when you have two, it's a whole other story.

You're complaining.

I'm not complaining, I'm just...

You ARE complaining.

Do you have Pepcid, or

something for stomachs?

What's the matter?

I don't know. I have

social anxiety or something?

Why? It's just us.

And George and Martha.

Who's George and Martha?

Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton.

"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"

Oh, is that a good movie?

Is what good?

Uh, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?".

I love that movie.

I've never seen it.

What's that noise?

Oh! Someone must be at the front door.

Shoot, it's 7:
30 already?

(whispers) Josh has never seen

"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?".

Hello!

Hey...

Oh my gosh!

You look amazing!

Oh... thank you! I still have a couple

more pounds to go, but I'm getting there.

No, you look awesome!

Oh, um, Lisa, this is Brad.

Hi.

Hi.

You're cute!

He's an actor.

Neat.

Uh, do you mind if I use your bathroom?

Sure, yeah.

So...

Uh, do you mind if I go, too? We came from Malibu

and you practically have to stop for snacks, you know?

Sure. Just use the

powder room, over there...

That's okay, I'll just use this one.

Okay.

Hey!

Uh...

Can we have sex?

Brad!

I wanna go down on you.

Oh my ga.

(Ryan) So, last time we talked, you and

Trey were trying to write a movie together.

(Dave) It's not easy, is it? I always tell you TV guys

features aren't just longer, they're a whole different animal.

It's hard to sustain a

story over a hundred pages.

It's done, man. We sold it last week.

Really? Who'd you guys sell it to?

Will Ferrell and Adam McKay.

That's great. That's fantastic.

Yeah, those guys are really funny.

Yeah. They're doing alright.

You're a smartass. How much?

If you don't mind me asking?

Nah, it's fine, it was in the trades. 800.

$800,000?

No, 800 dollars.

(they laugh)

Ah, man.

What's wrong? You look freaked out.

Ginger lost weight.

Really?!

Yeah. And she brought a guy. And she went to the bathroom,

and this kid... he's, like, 20... he asked if he could go, too.

And they're in the bathroom

together, right now.

They're having sex?

I don't know.

In the powder room?

Yeah.

They better not get anything

on the wallpaper, it's vintage.

See that? Rich people have problems, too. They have

to worry about guests ejaculating on their wallpaper.

If I had said that, you would've

told me I was disgusting.

It was funny. Ryan is funny.

I'm a comedy writer!

You're funny, Dave. It's just

that Ryan is used to, you know...

getting up in front of a hundred people

and making them laugh their asses off.

I can't believe you.

Oh my god!

Hi!

You look awesome!

Oh... thank you!

How did you lose the weight?

I just was so busy working.

How are you?

Josh.

I was catering a movie.

In Austin?

Yeah. That's how I met Brad.

He was part of the cast.

How's Oliver?

He's great. He's with his

cousins. I go back on Monday.

What's that noise?

Oh! Someone must be at the front door.

That must be Chris.

(Lisa) Has he seen you yet?

No.

He's going to sh*t a brick.

Hi!

Hi!

How are you?

Good. Good.

Thank you.

We haven't seen you in since...

Forever. I know.

Ahh... Ginger came, right?

Yeah, she's here.

Hey, guys.

What's up?

(Ryan) How're you doing?

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

Ah, Chris. Nice to meet you.

You, too. Brad.

Ah. How do you know Josh and Lisa?

I just met them. I'm here with Ginger.

Oh.

I thought we weren't bringing anyone?

Oh, yeah, I'm sorry.

You are wearing that outfit that I love.

Yeah... (laughs)

Who needs a drink?

(Everyone) I do.

This silverware has a

really nice weight to it.

I knew you'd notice. You

always appreciate nice things.

Yeah, I noticed it, too, I was

thinking about stealing some.

(the others laugh)

Seriously, one spoon costs $200.

I wanna hear some of your new

material. Can we, after dinner?

No. C'mon.

(Michelle) For us. C'mon.

Alright, I got some. Truthfully, I've been traveling

so much that I really haven't had time to write.

Gotta make time. No excuses.

Right. No, I wrote today though, so...

So did I.

Well, you screwed around on the Internet.

I was working.

Oh, listen, there's a service you can subscribe to that

blocks your access to the Internet for up to 8 hours a day.

Is that where we're at right now? We can't be

self-disciplined, we have to pay someone to enforce discipline?

I know. It's lame. But, it only costs

$7.95 a month. It's totally worth it.

Wow. You and Trey do that?

Ah, no. We don't have to.

We're very self-motivated.

Hm.

That's fantastic.

(Ginger) So, Ry, where are

you performing these days?

All over. Atlanta. Dallas. Pittsburgh.

(Michelle) Have you been

going with him, Bree?

No. I tape five shows a week, so...

Oh. Right.

That many?

Have you watched her

show? Oh, it's fantastic.

I keep forgetting, I'm sorry.

I don't have time for that.

(Lisa) Send me the link again.

I can't believe this. My own friends. You know, I

have strangers writing me and telling me they love it.

This one guy told me it

restored his faith in humanity.

But it's opera, right?

(Josh) That's a tough sell.

I don't have time to watch webisodes.

They're only 2 minutes long.

You know, one day Ryan and I are going to

leave L.A. and then you'll all be sorry.

'Cause you'll just be talking about

how you saw Jim Carrey at the dog park.

(Josh) Who saw Jim Carrey at the dog

park? Did you, did you see him, for real?

(Bree) I just made that up.

(Josh) Oh.

I'm just saying that your whole lives

will be one big Howard Stern conversation.

I love Howard Stern.

Love him.

That's depressing.

This chicken is very good.
