It's so, so embarrassing.

- It's a good story.

- Yeah, for you.

(laughs)

- I don't know.

He's funny, I guess.

- He's very funny.

- And full of himself.

- Well, it's because

he's nervous, though.

He just gets a little posture-y

when he's nervous.

He's really smart.

- So do you like him?

- Yeah, he's my friend.

- No, I mean, do you like him

like him?

- Yeah.

I think I'm in love with him.

- Wow.

- Yeah.

Do you think that's weird?

- No.

No.

- Because of Tom,

I think it might be weird.

- I don't know.

- He made this, like,

really drunken pass at me once.

And it was right after

I broke up with Tom.

And it was completely

embarrassing, but...

He was so upset

the next day,

you know, mortified.

And...

And I was kind of happy

that it happened.

So I guess I thought then

that I shouldn't...

shouldn't tell him.

Do you think that

I should tell him?

No.

- No, not no.

Uh-uh...

- He's so sweet.

- I think you should sleep

on it.

- Sleep on it?

I thought you were gonna say,

"I think you should

sleep with him."

(laughs)

- That's my usual advice.

- I just think

I might f*** everything up,

because maybe

we know each other too well,

you know?

And he'd be totally

weirded out, and...

- Sleep on it.

- Okay.

- In your own bed.

- Okay.

- I'm exhausted.

- Okay.

- I love you.

- I love you.

It's nice to see you.

- So good to see you,

Peanut.

(both chuckling)

- Okay.

(sighs)

- Hi, Stink Bomb.

- Hey.

How are you?

- What are you doing?

- Just chilling.

Reading.

- Are you not sleeping?

- I can't sleep.

Can you not sleep?

Here.

Thanks.

- Yeah.

- What do you think of her?

- I think she's great.

You know, I really like her,

and she seems great.

(laughs)

Do you not like her?

- No, I just said I like her.

I do.

- Did you... what did you guys

do last night?

- We, um...

Nothing.

You know, it was just,

like, small talk,

getting to know

each other a little bit.

And it was nice.

- Do you think

that she's pretty?

- I think she is

empirically attractive.

(laughs)

- What?

- "Technically speaking she is,

uh, pretty attractive."

- Whatever.

She's a pretty girl.

Yeah.

- She's really pretty.

- She's a pretty girl.

- This is her room.

Do you know that?

- This is her room?

- You're in her room.

- That's weird.

Why'd she put me in here?

(laughs)

She hates this room.

(laughing)

- Maybe that's why

she put me in here.

- She does.

She really hates this room.

She hasn't even unpacked.

- Wow.

- Yeah, that's all her stuff.

Sh*t.

- What is that?

- This is all her paintings.

I don't know if she even knows

they're here.

She hasn't picked up a brush

in years, but...

- It's beautiful.

- Yeah.

These are all

from around here.

And this is a nudist beach

on the other side

of the island.

- On this island?

- Yep.

- That's crazy.

- Anyway...

- Anyway.

I got to tell you something.

- What?

- I...

- What?

- I am too old to ride bicycles

to islands.

(laughs)

- Anyway,

that's my big confession

for the night.

(birds chirping)

(sighing and snoring)

(gasps)

You just put your foot

in my face,

you son of a b*tch.

- What?

- You just put your foot

in my face.

- No, I didn't.

- You did.

- Sh*t head.

(laughs)

(birds chirping)

(waves lapping)

- Hey.

- Hey.

- You were right.

- About what?

- It's just, um,

better if she doesn't know.

Cool?

- Yeah, that's...

that's good for me, yeah.

(waves lapping)

- Just like that.

- Ew, it's a gloopy.

- I prefer "eye booger."

- Oh...

- What are... what are we

in for here?

- Hmm?

- What are we in for here?

- I have no idea.

- Are you guys ready for

the best gluten-free, vegan,

soy-free pancakes

you're ever gonna eat?

- Mmm.

- Absolutely.

- Seriously,

these are delicious.

- They look really good.

- You can have a little

sad pancake.

- There's the little man.

- Look, two little

sad pancakes.

- Oh, he is a little sad.

I'll make him happy.

- Tell me if you miss

anything,

'cause I would be very surprised

if you do.

- Okay.

- Um... oh!

Maple syrup.

- Maple syrup.

- Oh, shoot.

Okay, you know what?

No maple syrup, but we do have

cashew butter.

- Mmm.

Amazing.

- They're good?

- Mm!

- Oh, my God.

I'm so excited.

- That's great.

- So good.

- They're actually even good

without it.

But I will try it with.

See how we do.

- I put that stuff on

everything.

It is delish.

- Yeah?

Mmm.

Good.

- They're good?

- Very good.

- Very good.

- I'm so happy

you guys like them.

I mean, do you miss it?

Do you even miss the butter

and the milk?

- Mm-mm.

- Mm-mm.

- They're terrible.

(laughing)

No, they're not.

- They're so bad.

- They're so good, right?

Aren't they good?

- I think "terrible"

is an extreme word.

I think that

they are challenged,

but they are...

- I think it's

a very good effort.

- It's not.

You know what it is?

The flax seeds

didn't do a good job.

I put flax seeds in

to replace the egg,

and usually I use coconut oil,

but we didn't have any.

And it's just...

- Well, you didn't have

the right ingredients.

- We didn't.

- This is what I think.

We'll have a second round.

- Okay.

- You get all

the right ingredients.

I'll make my pancakes,

you make yours,

and we'll have, like,

a pancake-off.

And then whoever wins will win,

like, a...

- Trip to, uh, IHOP.

- A trip to IHOP.

But make sure you bring

your passport,

'cause it's international,

you know.

- Right.

(laughter)

Well done.

Sorry, you guys.

- Don't be sorry.

- Do you know what

I'm so excited about?

- What?

- You.

- What do you mean?

- I'm happy you've left her.

I think that's what

I'm trying to say.

- I think I'm happy too.

- I've kind of missed seeing

your face like this.

It's the first time I've seen

you look really happy

in a long time.

That's awesome.

Despite the terrible pancakes.

(laughs)

- You do.

It's really lovely for me.

I've missed you, you know,

seeing you.

F*** Pam.

- F*** her.

- F*** Pam.

- F*** Pam.

- F*** Pam.

- F*** Pam.

Or don't f*** Pam.

F*** someone else now.

You can do anything

you want now.

That's the thing.

It's really exciting.

You can go traveling now.

You're not stuck in...

- I can.

I was thinking about that.

- You can go to India.

You can find yourself,

like Lenora.

You can do whatever you want.

You can have a baby now.

(laughs)

A baby?

- She's always wanted them.

She's always wanted them.

- That's right where

my mind goes.

Let me go have a baby now.

- No, I've been thinking

about it, that she's...

she's always wanted one

as well.

She has actually always wanted

a baby.

You should try.

Now is your time.

I mean, were you trying?

Were you even trying?

- Yeah, I mean, we had...

you know, we'd been

talking about it.

- She never wanted them,

though.

- But she said she did.

- Yeah, she said was gonna...

she said she was gonna relent

at some point.

And I don't think she ever

wanted them.
