00:00:34 her buildings painted
00:00:38 Her hills, her beaches...
00:00:42 her sleazy past
00:00:46 But now it was over.
00:00:48 His romance with the city had
00:00:52 The truth is, she was
00:00:57 Plus, he'd had it with
00:01:02 And her constant need
00:01:07 Not that he was any prize.
00:01:09 He wrote biographies of
00:01:12 A job where
00:01:14 were usually left off the page.
00:01:16 There was his first book,
00:01:19 about the homicidal
00:01:21 We ate, like, two rolls
00:01:23 and then we shot Mom.
00:01:25 You're not gonna put that
00:01:28 The part about the cookie dough?
00:01:29 There was the porn star.
00:01:31 Can we just forget about 1972
00:01:34 The grandmother
00:01:37 I'd rather you not mention
00:01:38 where I took his jar of pennies.
00:01:41 And his current subject,
00:01:43 Where the hell do you come up
00:01:46 Uh, your journal.
00:01:49 I told you, mister,
00:01:53 But the drinking problem doesn't
00:01:56 Come on!
00:01:58 I was getting blown every night.
00:02:01 His job was a freak show...
00:02:02 and his love life
00:02:04 Still, he believed there was
00:02:07 who could
00:02:09 After exhaustive research...
00:02:11 he was fairly sure
00:02:14 Oh, I'm not gonna order
00:02:16 I brought my oats.
00:02:18 By the way, did I tell you...
00:02:20 I'm getting back together
00:02:22 I'll have
00:02:25 I think you're ready
00:02:28 The truth is, he was never
00:02:31 He should have changed cities
00:02:33 but, no, here he was...
00:02:35 Iiving in the same house
00:02:38 with the same books.
00:02:39 He was never gonna break up
00:02:42 And then one night,
00:02:57 Uh...
00:02:59 Unh! Aah!
00:03:02 Ah. Oh.
00:03:27 Mom...
00:03:30 Susan, relax. I'm fine.
00:03:31 You know, you haven't asked
00:03:33 Yes.
00:03:34 -Sweetie, it was just a tremor.
00:03:36 Yeah, it was a big tremor, OK.
00:03:38 I don't know. Three at most.
00:03:40 I mean, four is for,
00:03:42 That was at least a six.
00:03:44 Dude, I'm talkin' dosage here,
00:03:47 All right? Bye.
00:03:49 Dosage. Yeah, of course.
00:03:50 No, Mom, you're not gonna die
00:03:53 Why not?
00:03:56 I got to go. Yeah. Bye.
00:03:57 You OK?
00:03:59 I'm above ground.
00:04:01 This is Donnie.
00:04:04 Donnie, could you go stand
00:04:06 Why?
00:04:08 Well, I've known Owen longer.
00:04:14 So, who's Donnie?
00:04:15 My waiter at lunch.
00:04:17 Lunch? But it's 2:00 a.m.
00:04:19 You actually spent twelve hours
00:04:20 Yeah, well, it was a late lunch.
00:04:24 Hello?
00:04:27 Eileen.
00:04:29 No, I'm fine. How--OK.
00:04:34 Right now?
00:04:36 Yeah, I still have the keys.
00:04:38 OK. OK.
00:04:44 Was that the call?
00:04:47 She wants me to come over.
00:04:48 Oh, it was the call, all right.
00:04:49 The thought of going down
00:04:52 without your soft, doughy butt
00:04:54 So then she realizes she never
00:04:57 Hey, it wasn't a dump.
00:04:59 I can't believe
00:05:00 after she dumped you.
00:05:01 Would you really take
00:05:02 Well...I mean,
00:05:05 Mm-hmm.
00:05:06 -And leave me.
00:05:07 And, you know, she made
00:05:10 Uh-huh.
00:05:12 But on the other hand, it takes
00:05:15 to make you feel that shitty,
00:05:21 I'm sorry.
00:05:23 Dude, she's right.
00:05:25 Let's go.
00:05:27 I've been thinking
00:05:29 and we can't just
00:05:32 I totally agree.
00:05:34 Yeah. I--I mean,
00:05:36 since we've been going out...
00:05:37 and I still haven't found
00:05:39 Me, neither. I--I think
00:05:43 Oh, God. I am so glad
00:05:45 I mean,
00:05:47 and watching the walls
00:05:50 and waiting for the pool
00:05:52 and obliterate me...
00:05:54 and suddenly,
00:05:57 I saw my future--the house...
00:06:00 the white picket fence,
00:06:03 but I didn't see you.
00:06:06 Uh, w-well, maybe I was at work.
00:06:09 Or the hardware store.
00:06:11 I was probably out
00:06:13 No, no. I didn't see you...
00:06:15 because you're not
00:06:17 I'm sorry, but I just--
00:06:22 with you
00:06:26 Look, I mean,
00:06:30 just a stress reaction
00:06:34 Iike when your mother
00:06:36 and you went out
00:06:38 Ohh! Owen, stop spinning this.
00:06:39 I'm not spinning this!
00:06:41 I'm simply saying that
00:06:44 and the name-calling,
00:06:47 OK, stop it!
00:06:48 This is not one of
00:06:51 where everybody gets
00:06:53 I am never
00:06:54 and you are never
00:06:57 And we are never, ever going
00:07:00 and get married. It's over.
00:07:03 It is all over.
00:07:05 There!
00:07:07 God, I feel so much better,
00:07:25 How could she break up with you?
00:07:28 I don't know what happened.
00:07:31 I am always spinning things
00:07:34 I got to face reality.
00:07:35 -Thai stick?
00:07:40 I mean, this city has not worked
00:07:43 Come on.
00:07:45 I am. I am leaving.
00:07:46 Hey, honestly, man, I think
00:07:49 Aiming high?
00:07:51 I'm talking about
00:07:53 and sitting on a plane
00:07:55 while somebody flies me
00:07:57 That is
00:07:59 but this city's got you
00:08:02 I mean, look at her.
00:08:06 You can't turn your back
00:08:08 Stand back and watch, my friend.
00:08:11 OK. OK.
00:08:15 Now, you take this next left.
00:08:16 Historically, this town
00:08:20 Even the dinosaurs
00:08:22 Dude, we live in a basin...
00:08:24 and by definition,
00:08:28 That's why there's smog.
00:08:29 Air can't even escape
00:08:31 OK, look, so it's finally over
00:08:33 I mean, look on the bright side.
00:08:34 The relationship was shallow,
00:08:37 Yeah, well, it's not just Eileen
00:08:40 It's every relationship I've
00:08:43 People hire me
00:08:45 because I make them look better
00:08:48 I lie!
00:08:50 And you're just now
00:08:51 No,
00:08:53 You can't run away
00:08:55 Your whole life is here.
00:08:56 Yeah, well, my life and l...
00:08:59 have been growing apart
00:09:00 I mean, I've been going one way,
00:09:04 We're getting
00:09:05 So, you're breaking up
00:09:06 You can't break up
00:09:08 You'll just come crawling
00:09:10 You're right.
00:09:16 First, he had to say good-bye
00:09:19 Well, I had a little slip.
00:09:20 Last night,
00:09:22 my ex said she was never
00:09:24 and I realized
00:09:27 and the people at work...
00:09:29 and everyone else in my life.
00:09:32 And so today,
00:09:35 -All right!
00:09:37 That's nice.
00:09:39 Last night,
00:09:42 rhapsodically stoned...
00:09:44 it was fucking fantastic.
00:09:47 And I realized
00:09:49 that we make here at AA...
00:09:50 I mean, we might as well
00:09:53 I mean, Keith--Keith
00:09:56 but he sent his father
00:09:58 And, Joan,
00:10:00 but she handed out Halloween
00:10:03 Anyway, take it easy.
00:10:06 I'm leaving town
00:10:09 But before I do,
00:10:17 -Such a disgrace.
00:10:25 Owen! Stop! Stop! Owen!
00:10:28 Listen to me.
00:10:30 you will drive yourself
00:10:32 Jack, relax. The world is round.
00:10:37 Next, he had to set things
00:10:39 I've made some revisions...
00:10:40 because I feel like
00:10:41 a more complete account
00:10:43 The most important thing
00:10:44 we can both be proud of.
00:10:46 Well, Shakespeare,
00:10:47 I want this book to make us--
00:10:54 "The competition
00:10:56 sizzled hotter than
00:10:59 That's good. I like that.
00:11:00 "l knew the final selection
00:11:03 "so I volunteered to pilot
00:11:06 "That weekend I was ordered...
00:11:07 "to fly some hookers
00:11:09 "The Soviets were in town...
00:11:10 "and Nixon wanted to make
00:11:12 "The rest is history.
00:11:14 "l think if Brezhnev
00:11:16 "by a little Korean stripper
00:11:19 "l might never have become...
00:11:20 the national hero
00:11:24 Just who in the fuck
00:11:27 Oh, yeah? I was gonna ask you
00:11:30 because you're definitely
00:11:35 And then came
00:11:37 the final farewell
00:11:39 What does that mean,
00:11:42 Is that one of the twelve steps?
00:11:44 No, I finally got honest
00:11:46 and everyone else in my life.
00:11:48 Cool. Well, good luck, man.
00:11:50 Yeah.
00:11:51 Hey, before I go,
00:11:53 I always wanted to tell you.
00:11:54 You remember that guy
00:11:57 who was humping
00:11:58 in the video greeting arbor...
00:11:59 and all you could see
00:12:01 Oh, my God!
00:12:03 Yeah! That was me.
00:12:06 -Ahem.
00:12:10 Remember when Allison
00:12:11 and you asked me to find out
00:12:14 Yeah. As I recall, she said
00:12:20 Actually, she didn't say that.
00:12:23 Heh. That was you?
00:12:26 Yep. Allison actually thinks
00:12:31 So I could have been
00:12:35 Oh, my God!
00:12:38 Well, if my show's the welfare
00:12:40 then what the hell's
00:12:43 You talentless fuckhead!
00:12:45 At least my cheese
00:12:48 Well, thanks, Blaine.
00:12:52 Good luck to you, buddy.
00:12:55 What the hell was that about?
00:12:57 I don't know.
00:12:58 I've started speaking
00:13:01 And in about an hour, I'll have
00:13:04 so there'll be less reason
00:13:06 Hey, man, I'm still your friend.
00:13:08 Yeah,
00:13:11 Rob, listen, you're one of
00:13:15 so I say this with true love.
00:13:19 Your girlfriend
00:13:22 She's cut you off
00:13:24 and made you take
00:13:26 that have turned you
00:13:29 who leaves parties early
00:13:31 and most likely
00:13:34 Trust me.
00:13:36 this woman has the brain
00:13:38 and a heart
00:13:40 Dump her!
00:13:41 Hey. What's going on?
00:13:43 Hi! I was just telling Rob here
00:13:46 and how dull you've made him--
00:13:48 Unh!
00:13:49 Fuck you, Owen.
00:13:53 Let's go.
00:13:57 So long, old friend.
00:14:00 I'm gonna miss you.
00:14:08 Well, this is a nice way to say
00:14:13 Well, you can't say
00:14:16 Aah. At least I leave
00:14:20 What are you gonna do
00:14:22 Well, that's the beauty of it.
00:14:26 Great. Great.
00:14:29 So, you trashed your life.
00:14:33 Ahh.
00:14:34 Well, among other things...
00:14:38 an ex-Soviet
00:14:45 I told him I'd give him
00:14:48 for free
00:14:51 Dear Mr. McCabe, I am most
00:14:56 The sooner
00:14:57 the sooner we can begin.
00:14:59 In fact, I suggest

00:15:04 L.A. is a doomed city.
00:15:06 Yours, Vassily Stepniak.
00:15:09 That's...
00:15:11 Wow. Ha!
00:15:13 So, I guess this is, uh...
00:15:15 this is really it.
00:15:18 Don't you have any final
00:15:23 Ha ha!
00:15:28 There are no words for you.
00:15:57 Mmm. Mm.
00:16:10 Mm. Mm. Mm!
00:16:15 Owen?
00:16:17 Owen.
00:16:20 Eileen's boyfriend, right?
00:16:21 Oh, my God. Hi.
00:16:25 Yeah, well,
00:16:27 I probably had my eyes open...
00:16:28 and my tongue
00:16:30 I knew there was something
00:16:33 Yeah. And this is Max--
00:16:35 -This is Owen.
00:16:36 Owen and I met at this
00:16:39 Ah, so you must be
00:16:41 No, I was just there
00:16:44 Heh. So, how are you?
00:16:48 Well, Eileen and l, you know...
00:16:51 I mean, we decided
00:16:55 It's complicated.
00:16:57 I got dumped.
00:16:59 Oh, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
00:17:02 Hey, darling, listen,
00:17:05 -But you have ten minutes.
00:17:08 -I'll call you.
00:17:11 Mmm.
00:17:15 -Bye.
00:17:22 So, how long
00:17:24 Oh, um, four years.
00:17:27 He, um, he just got this
00:17:31 so he's gonna try living there
00:17:34 Which is fine, really.
00:17:36 It's complicated, but...
00:17:38 I got dumped, too.
00:17:40 Really? That's great.
00:17:43 It's great?
00:17:44 Well, great, like--yeah, great.
00:17:49 Max and I don't go back
00:17:52 I mean, a woman like you--
00:17:54 you could get anyone you want,
00:17:59 You know,
00:18:03 Do you want to get a drink?
00:18:05 Yeah, I could use another.
00:18:07 OK, OK. Now, just go out there
00:18:10 because if you're honest...
00:18:12 and you say exactly
00:18:13 then she'll never
00:18:15 and you can get
00:18:18 OK. Team.
00:18:20 You were the best nine seconds
00:18:24 which is a lot more competitive
00:18:26 Heh. God, that's funny.
00:18:30 No, that's very, very sick.
00:18:34 No, I mean, that's funny,
00:18:38 I fantasized about you, too.
00:18:40 -Heh.
00:18:43 -You did?
00:18:44 Gosh, what were those like?
00:18:47 Um, they were just, like,
00:18:52 wake-up-in-the-middle
00:18:54 kind of fantasies.
00:18:56 Hmm. Heh heh.
00:18:59 Oh, shit.
00:19:01 Are you OK?
00:19:03 You know, not even close.
00:19:06 Yeah, you know, you seem
00:19:10 manic-depressive or something.
00:19:12 Well, lucky for me,
00:19:14 for excess personal baggage.
00:19:16 This is the final announcement
00:19:18 nonstop service to New York.
00:19:23 Damn. Um...that's my flight.
00:19:27 Oh.

00:19:35 Sure.
00:19:36 Just walk away and praise God
00:19:39 Wait, Owen!
00:19:41 I almost forgot
00:19:46 -Thanks.
00:19:48 Thank you.
00:19:54 Hey, is this flight 505?
00:19:56 Yeah. We just closed the gate.
00:19:57 No, no.
00:20:00 I have burned all my bridges
00:20:02 And even if I wanted to,
00:20:05 And now, because
00:20:07 well, I met a woman that
00:20:10 and I'm telling you...
00:20:11 if I don't get
00:20:13 I might just call her.
00:20:15 I mean,
00:20:18 What if the relationship
00:20:20 Get real. It won't.
00:20:21 How do you know that?
00:20:23 I mean, what if,
00:20:25 I'm dooming myself
00:20:26 of shallow, failed
00:20:28 because I'll always be
00:20:35 Are you getting on the plane?
00:20:40 No, thanks.
00:20:45 Well, better luck next time.
00:21:18 Jesus!
00:21:22 Sorry. I don't know
00:21:23 getting into my own bed
00:21:26 OK, you can go now.
00:21:29 I'm really sorry. It's just
00:21:31 and you have
00:21:33 Stephanie, can you please
00:21:36 Get your own.
00:21:38 Well, neither do l.
00:21:43 Look, clear out, asshole.
00:21:46 OK, Owen,
00:21:50 Well...
00:21:53 I met someone.
00:21:55 You came back for a woman?
00:21:56 I know, I know.
00:21:59 Well, who is she?
00:22:01 She's a friend of Eileen's.
00:22:02 You came back

00:22:07 OK, she was an acquaintance.
00:22:08 We met a few years ago,
00:22:11 Then tonight, at the airport,
00:22:12 and, of course,
00:22:14 Oh, so she ruined your exit.
00:22:16 Well, I mean,
00:22:18 knowing
00:22:19 Otherwise, I'll just be back
00:22:23 Uhh. Do you wear a 32 Hanes?
00:22:26 Oh. Yeah.
00:22:27 So, wait, what are you gonna do?
00:22:30 Well, I have to make sure
00:22:33 You know, psychologists

00:22:36 No, no. I'm putting this
00:22:40 The real me is gonna show up
00:22:41 and I'm giving her the bad news
00:22:43 I don't want to be her friend.
00:22:45 I don't want children,
00:22:47 too many parents in the world
00:22:49 And I have no opinions
00:22:51 Do you really expect her
00:22:53 Well, there's always

00:23:23 I have nothing
00:23:25 What do you say to $5,000?
00:23:27 Bucky, listen,
00:23:29 It's about self-respect.
00:23:31 I hear you. How about 7,000?
00:23:33 I said no! I quit! Period!
00:23:36 OK, fine.
00:23:38 You're being honest with me.
00:23:40 because now
00:23:43 you stinkin' little hack!
00:23:45 I am a--a historical figure,
00:23:50 And I'll show
00:23:51 Anyone can write a book,
00:23:58 Come on. There's no way...
00:24:00 you're gonna bag her
00:24:02 Besides, you've never
00:24:04 in your entire life.
00:24:05 See, I am sick of waiting till
00:24:09 I'm just gonna say to her,
00:24:11 "We both know why we're here,
00:24:14 And if that goes well...
00:24:16 we'll build toward
00:24:18 Maybe you should call
00:24:22 I hope you don't mind
00:24:24 Usually I'd act like I was busy
00:24:27 but I'm kind of experimenting
00:24:29 Damn, I thought it was
00:24:32 -Not...entirely.
00:24:34 I mean, for me, brains
00:24:37 count for at least
00:24:41 So, which car is yours?
00:24:43 Uh...the one
00:24:46 The taxi?
00:24:48 Yeah, I kind of sold my car.
00:24:50 Oh. OK.
00:24:54 So, you grew up in Glendale.
00:24:55 Yes, I did.
00:24:57 Do your parents
00:24:59 Oh, yes.
00:25:00 They're very sweet.
00:25:04 And what are their names?
00:25:06 Roberta and George. Ha!
00:25:10 I'd love to meet them sometime.
00:25:12 Well, maybe sometime you can.
00:25:15 What are they doing tonight?
00:25:19 I don't know. Why?
00:25:21 Do you think they'd mind
00:25:23 I mean, you said they didn't
00:25:26 Ha! Why would you want
00:25:30 Well, look, you know,
00:25:33 how's-the-salmon
00:25:35 or we could see if
00:25:37 and meet your family.
00:25:39 OK, this is insane.
00:25:41 Is it really? Why wait till
00:25:44 to find out
00:25:46 If there's a problem,
00:25:47 Heh. Well, they never liked Max.
00:25:52 You see? And where's Max now?
00:25:55 I mean, think of all the time
00:25:57 Tick, tick, tick.
00:25:59 Driver, we're going to Glendale.
00:26:00 Wait, l--
00:26:04 Well, we were
00:26:06 so we thought we'd stop by.
00:26:07 This is very weird, dear.
00:26:10 Would you like
00:26:12 Thank you.
00:26:14 This is really great egg salad.
00:26:16 Oh. It's the gherkins.
00:26:18 Now, you know Val from where?
00:26:20 Well, from the airport, George.
00:26:22 I was standing there
00:26:23 feeling a little depressed...
00:26:25 doggin'
00:26:26 when our eyes met,
00:26:28 you know how dogs can smell
00:26:30 that other people can't?
00:26:33 and there was this scent
00:26:34 that no one else
00:26:36 Owen's a writer.
00:26:37 What kind of writing?
00:26:39 Well, I started writing
00:26:41 Then I moved to Los Angeles...
00:26:43 where I continued
00:26:45 by lowering expectations
00:26:48 Oh. Any we would know?
00:26:50 Um, well, there's
00:26:52 Do you remember the twins...
00:26:54 who hired the Crips
00:26:55 And then some stranglers,
00:26:58 You know, son,
00:27:01 Oh, come on, Dad.
00:27:02 Don't get fresh, young lady.
00:27:04 Now, when I was a young man...
00:27:06 my dream was to build
00:27:10 I got a job at Lockheed...
00:27:12 where I worked sixty-hour weeks
00:27:15 to try and reach that dream.
00:27:17 And then one day, it hit me.
00:27:19 I was painting a new wing flap
00:27:22 when suddenly I realized...
00:27:23 my dream
00:27:26 because dreams don't mean shit.
00:27:29 That's why
00:27:32 They don't ever happen.
00:27:34 They're just figments
00:27:36 that make people feel bad
00:27:38 So, don't put yourself down
00:27:44 Yeah, but don't you think...
00:27:45 you should be
00:27:46 of the men
00:27:49 Well, we trust Val.
00:27:50 If Val likes someone,
00:27:52 even if they're not
00:27:55 Mom.
00:27:56 Roberta and l
00:27:57 that someone with
00:28:00 is not gonna put in the time
00:28:03 as a fella
00:28:05 someone who's mature enough
00:28:08 he's not gonna change the world
00:28:11 Cheers.
00:28:16 Heh.
00:28:17 Oh, thank you, Owen.
00:28:20 Yeah.
00:28:26 Yeah.
00:28:27 I don't know what to do
00:28:29 We were supposed
00:28:30 and now she says
00:28:31 The whole evening's
00:28:34 You gotta help me out, OK?
00:28:35 All right, all right.
00:28:37 Take her to the new gallery
00:28:39 and then stop off
00:28:42 Thank you. So, how's it going...
00:28:43 with your hot little
00:28:45 Oh, not so good.
00:28:48 and she does, too. It just--
00:28:50 You're never leaving.
00:28:52 No, there's still some hope.
00:28:53 I'm gonna show her
00:28:55 that no self-respecting woman
00:28:57 will be able to tolerate.
00:29:07 Is this not great?
00:29:09 Yeah. And $2.17. Who knew?
00:29:12 I love buses. I mean, you know,
00:29:16 where everybody's
00:29:18 I mean,
00:29:20 we can experience life
00:29:22 I mean, look at this.
00:29:24 Nothing brings people together
00:29:30 I never liked buses.
00:29:33 Well, they're not for everybody.
00:29:46 You know, it's true, though.
00:29:49 I mean, when you drive around
00:29:51 you never get a chance
00:29:55 But at least in a bus,
00:29:58 really notice
00:30:02 Excuse me?
00:30:04 I mean, especially
00:30:05 You know, it's so clear.
00:30:07 The wind's just blowing away
00:30:10 and you can really see.
00:30:11 It's like the unveiling
00:30:17 For some reason,
00:30:20 Oh, come on.
00:30:23 And someday,
00:30:25 and kill a lot of people,
00:30:27 Heh!
00:30:32 Gonna get that? It's OK.
00:30:36 Owen! It's Jack.
00:30:37 The Fairfax meeting
00:30:40 We're all still praying for you.
00:30:42 You're still an alcoholic,
00:30:45 OK, take a look at this.
00:30:47 You see that building
00:30:49 What, the Falafel Queen?
00:30:51 No, not the Falafel Queen.
00:30:54 Is that new? I don't think
00:30:57 Isn't it beautiful?
00:31:00 It is kind of beautiful.
00:31:40 I had a really nice time.
00:31:42 Yeah. Me, too.
00:31:45 Sorry. Heh.
00:31:46 Look, l, um, I just wanted
00:31:50 and we both know
00:31:52 Zeke! Come on, Zeke! Shh!
00:31:54 Shh, shh, shh! I'm sorry.
00:31:56 No, it's OK.
00:31:58 And we've been through this
00:32:01 Zeke! Come on!
00:32:03 Uh, he's--he's an only dog.
00:32:05 -Yeah.
00:32:06 And, I mean, I think
00:32:08 Just hang on one sec.
00:32:10 Zeke, shush.
00:32:13 Ha ha ha ha! This is a great--
00:32:16 Aww. Oh, I'm sorry.
00:32:18 No, it's fine.
00:32:20 Sorry! He's sorry. So sorry.
00:32:22 -Heh. It's OK.
00:32:25 Heh.
00:32:27 Now, as I was saying, um...
00:32:31 Thanks. Call me.
00:32:33 I'd invite you in, but I'm still
00:32:36 No, it's--
00:32:37 Plus, you smell like
00:32:39 -Heh.
00:32:40 It's OK. Um...
00:32:42 Good night. Thanks again.
00:32:43 -Thank you. Good night.
00:32:45 Good night. Good night.
00:32:47 OK.
00:32:51 OK? It's not--
00:32:53 Ah, how could you say "It's OK"?
00:33:00 So, did you do her
00:33:03 No, it was a total failure.
00:33:05 Then why are you
00:33:07 Because I'm trying
00:33:09 We've done the parents thing.
00:33:10 Now it's time
00:33:12 Owen,
00:33:15 Besides which, she's not dating
00:33:18 Come on,
00:33:20 You date the package.
00:33:22 Friends,
00:33:24 I mean, the whole thing
00:33:25 One of my biggest problems
00:33:27 is that she hated
00:33:28 She thought you and Rob
00:33:32 What are you doing tonight?
00:33:34 No. I am not gonna be
00:33:37 just to make you happy.
00:33:38 Hey, did I say be a bitch?
00:33:40 Just be you.
00:33:44 Fuck a lot of girls on this?
00:33:47 I'm not selling you my mattress.
00:33:49 Why not? 'Cause I'm gay?
00:33:52 No, because you're
00:33:54 I've always wanted
00:33:55 Hey, you know what?
00:33:57 I, uh, took her to that gallery
00:34:00 So now I'm thinking
00:34:02 I don't know what to get her.
00:34:03 I was thinking maybe a piece
00:34:06 They got those nursing bras
00:34:07 -You just pop the top and go.
00:34:10 No, seriously. Look,
00:34:13 Allison and l, uh...
00:34:14 we're having
00:34:17 What does she like in bed?
00:34:18 I don't know. Breakfast.
00:34:19 Oh, what? Like guys don't talk
00:34:22 She can't keep her hands
00:34:24 but I can't make her come.
00:34:25 There's more to it
00:34:28 I mean, women are emotional.
00:34:30 -They--
00:34:32 At least, most of them are.
00:34:34 Yes, go buy her something.
00:34:36 What? Buy her what?
00:34:38 I don't know. A hat. A cap.
00:34:41 A hat. Thank you.
00:34:43 Thank you. OK, uh...
00:34:45 so, what?
00:34:47 Do you not already have a bed?
00:34:49 I've been living at my parents'.
00:34:52 Fine.
00:34:55 So, where are you moving to?
00:34:59 Aw, fuck!
00:35:01 Heh heh.
00:35:03 I can't believe
00:35:06 Actually, Rob did.
00:35:07 Well, you guys
00:35:09 What difference does it make?
00:35:11 You knew someone
00:35:21 -Can I ask you something?
00:35:23 Is this thing with Stephanie
00:35:24 You know me.
00:35:28 But she's moving in.
00:35:29 Across the hall.
00:35:31 the sex part out of the way
00:35:33 Yeah, but you never got the sex
00:35:36 You wouldn't even let me see
00:35:39 Have you even
00:35:40 about what's gonna happen to me
00:35:43 You are leaving
00:35:45 and at the moment,
00:35:47 -Ha ha ha.
00:35:49 it turns out we have more
00:35:51 She likes galleries,
00:35:54 just like you and me.
00:35:56 Well, I'm glad it's working out.
00:36:05 -Hey, Owen.
00:36:08 -Who the hell is that?
00:36:11 Hi! How are you guys doin'?
00:36:23 Aren't we moving
00:36:25 No, it only seems that way
00:36:28 and everybody else
00:36:29 Heh. No, but, I mean...
00:36:32 isn't it a little early
00:36:34 I mean, I usually don't
00:36:36 till I'm pretty sure
00:36:39 Oh, I'm pretty sure
00:36:44 So, then Adam and Sue say, "Are
00:36:47 And I say, "What wedding?"
00:36:48 And they look at me
00:36:49 who doesn't know
00:36:51 When are you gonna get over
00:36:52 I mean, you can't blame
00:36:54 because Rick didn't tell you
00:36:56 -Who are Adam and Sue again?
00:36:59 Um...no.
00:37:01 Neil was a friend
00:37:03 He lived with Adam and Sue
00:37:04 and introduced Allison to Rick,
00:37:06 I just can't believe
00:37:08 All my Stanford friends
00:37:10 -Are we back on Rick again?
00:37:12 Wait a second. You went to
00:37:15 '97. I mean, here's the thing.
00:37:17 Even though I wouldn't go,
00:37:20 I was '96.
00:37:21 I mean, you broke up with Rick
00:37:23 Exactly. Move on.
00:37:24 I have moved on,
00:37:26 This isn't Rick Labutier
00:37:28 No, it's just some freak
00:37:30 -You know Rick?
00:37:33 Yeah, we dated junior year.
00:37:35 Oh, my God.
00:37:39 You're not the girl
00:37:41 at his parents' Christmas party,
00:37:44 Yeah, because he was screwing...
00:37:45 some stupid little groupie
00:37:48 -That would be me.
00:37:51 Yeah. I'm not a big fan
00:37:55 You know, l, um, I always
00:37:58 so I could look you
00:38:01 thank you for saving me
00:38:06 Oh, my God. Wasn't he?
00:38:08 Wasn't he?
00:38:11 -Oh, I hated that van!
00:38:13 OK, can you imagine spending
00:38:16 OK, do you remember
00:38:17 Oh' you mean the--
00:38:18 The--the what?
00:38:21 Wait a second, wait a second.
00:38:22 Did you know
00:38:24 Do you remember Dan? He was
00:38:26 Oh, God! Me, too!
00:38:28 As a matter of fact,
00:38:29 Oh, my God. You slept with Dan?
00:38:31 Oh, my God! Ha ha!
00:38:33 Wait, Dan who?
00:38:34 I always wanted
00:38:36 but I was just kind of
00:38:38 Who the hell's Dan?
00:38:39 OK, you can stop wondering.
00:38:41 Oh, my God. Will you really?
00:38:42 Excuse me. OK, start
00:38:47 Unbelievable.
00:38:50 She does have a hell of a rack.
00:38:52 When you go,
00:38:55 Would that be possible?
00:38:59 I really liked your friends.
00:39:01 Yeah, they liked you a lot, too.
00:39:02 Of course, they were mentally
00:39:06 Heh.
00:39:17 Whoa. Heh. I really wasn't
00:39:21 -Were you?
00:39:24 Ha!
00:39:25 The catch?
00:39:27 Yeah, you know, like,
00:39:29 or you have three balls
00:39:31 Well, negative to both...
00:39:33 but please
00:39:34 Ha ha! Seriously. I, um...
00:39:38 I really feel like
00:39:39 Inside would be nice.
00:39:41 Heh.
00:39:44 I just--I just came off
00:39:47 And I wasn't really looking
00:39:49 Perfect.
00:39:51 Until the last couple of days.
00:39:53 I guess I just think we should
00:39:57 Otherwise, it's just gonna be
00:39:59 that just go down in flames,
00:40:02 Yes, I totally agree.
00:40:03 Right. Mm...mm...
00:40:06 Hey, hey, hey!
00:40:08 I say I want to take things
00:40:11 I was disagreeing with you.
00:40:12 Well, thank you.
00:40:16 but I'm not ready.
00:40:19 Why? Why is waiting a good idea
00:40:23 Because when it comes to
00:40:26 I mean, my whole life,
00:40:28 for things that never came--
00:40:30 Santa Claus,
00:40:32 the right time to quit my job...
00:40:35 phone calls from friends
00:40:39 Waiting is death, and I'm
00:40:45 Well, then maybe
00:40:52 'cause I don't think
00:41:22 Ahh! Shit!
00:41:26 Ah! Come on!
00:41:39 Hey. Dude, come here.
00:41:44 Sorry, I'm not in the mood
00:41:45 Look, she loved the hat.
00:41:50 What now?
00:41:54 Do you know any nice walks?
00:41:57 Rock Springs Ranch.
00:42:00 It's in the desert,
00:42:02 Iike you're in Cascais.
00:42:15 Hi.
00:42:19 You want a waffle?
00:42:20 Uhh.
00:42:21 Shouldn't you be, uh,
00:42:27 Actually, I think
00:42:30 or the embarrassing silence
00:42:32 Hmm. What happened?
00:42:34 You know...
00:42:36 she's not ready, take time,
00:42:40 Too bad.
00:42:43 Yeah. For a minute there,
00:42:45 who could make it
00:42:48 Wow. One of those.
00:42:53 When was the last time
00:42:56 Been a while. You?
00:42:59 Ah. I don't think
00:43:04 Good night.
00:43:08 Good night.
00:43:12 Yeah, well, maybe it's just as
00:43:14 I mean,
00:43:17 that Grant and Nancy sent me.
00:43:19 What e-mail?
00:43:22 Check out that ass.
00:43:23 Well, does it look fat
00:43:25 Well, I mean, you could've
00:43:28 Well, fuck, how many people
00:43:31 A few friends. It--
00:43:34 Aw, cheer up. Want some "X"
00:43:38 I don't need it anymore,
00:43:44 Waah-ha-hoo! You are doing it.
00:43:45 -Yes!
00:43:48 Yeah, four days, nine
00:43:50 I'm getting out.
00:43:51 Yes, you are. Yes!
00:43:53 Damn it!
00:43:56 Hey, come out and meet me
00:43:59 You can probably get here in
00:44:01 God, Goddess, Grace...
00:44:02 Prayer Father, Holy Mother,
00:44:07 -All right, where were we?
00:44:09 Right. Right!
00:44:14 Thy will, not mine, be done.
00:44:16 No, my will, not thine.
00:44:19 You're doing it, man!
00:44:22 Fuck you, city!
00:44:24 -Yeah!
00:00:02 I'm not coming back.
00:00:05 You can go fuck yourself,
00:00:07 -Owen?
00:00:11 -Hi.
00:00:13 I'm sorry. Are you
00:00:15 Um, well, actually, at the end.
00:00:19 Well, I was just calling...
00:00:21 because I was thinking about
00:00:24 and, um...
00:00:26 how we're not supposed

00:09:14 Just so you know, it wasn't
00:09:18 The guy's a mess.
00:09:23 And you know what else?
00:09:24 I didn't even want
00:09:26 I thought
00:09:28 the two of us--you know, talk?
00:09:30 But, no, you drag me
00:09:32 where I don't know anyone.
00:09:34 I don't see you,
00:09:36 smiling and nodding
00:09:40 And you're down here
00:09:42 that I'm cheating on you?
00:09:43 I mean, are we even dating?
00:09:46 Wait, where are you going?
00:09:48 I'm going home. Take the bus.
00:10:23 No matter what you do
00:10:30 I've given up on you
00:10:38 No matter what you say
00:10:45 I'm leaving you today
00:11:01 Hey.
00:11:03 Can we talk?
00:11:35 You got a fax.
00:11:37 Dear Mr. McCabe, I am sorry
00:11:41 to work from Los Angeles.
00:11:43 You must make a choice.
00:11:45 Like the atom,
00:11:48 unleashes uncontrollable chaos
00:11:51 The man does make a good point.
00:11:53 There's only one problem.
00:11:56 She chose you over Rory?
00:11:58 I know. I was shocked.
00:12:00 I thought
00:12:03 No. I wanted her to be
00:12:07 I could walk away from
00:12:08 and of course
00:12:09 some beautiful, charming,
00:12:14 You know, I'll still respect you
00:12:18 Yeah,
00:12:20 we'll just think
00:12:21 I mean, there's just
00:12:23 I need to know, and I just--
00:12:24 What?
00:12:27 the parents test,
00:12:29 What other tests are there?
00:12:30 Sex.
00:12:33 the "can I spend a weekend
00:12:35 Of course,
00:12:36 on her passing
00:12:38 because right now she hates me.
00:12:40 Well, talk about plans
00:12:42 I mean, I'm supposed
00:12:44 to some animal rights thing
00:12:45 only she's not calling me back.
00:12:46 So, what are you going to do?
00:12:48 Go anyway. I mean,
00:12:50 I'll invite her
00:12:52 at Rock Springs Ranch.
00:12:53 It's this place
00:12:54 but it's got a breeze
00:12:56 And by Sunday,
00:12:58 Rock Springs Ranch--isn't that
00:13:02 Uh, no, I don't think so.
00:13:06 Yeah, no, I remember.
00:13:07 You described it the exact

00:13:22 Have you been to Cascais?
00:13:24 -Uh-huh. Yeah.

00:14:02 No. I like you.
00:14:06 I'm sorry. It...
00:14:08 I mean, you were
00:14:09 I was staying in L.A...
00:14:10 and I knew that if
00:14:12 I wouldn't be able
00:14:15 Well, I guess you were wrong.
00:14:16 You never even left
00:14:20 -Wait, I can explain.
00:14:25 Allison!
00:14:46 Well, a gift of just $2,000...
00:14:48 will provide an operating room
00:14:51 so anything you could give
00:14:53 Well, we did want to do
00:14:55 -to commemorate Ronnie.
00:14:57 He bit a three-year-old
00:15:00 -He didn't mean it.
00:15:03 Well, maybe--maybe you'd like...
00:15:05 to buy a commemorative plaque
00:15:08 I think Ronnie--
00:15:10 Excuse me for one moment.
00:15:14 What are you doing here?
00:15:16 Look, I wanted to say that
00:15:18 OK, Owen,

00:15:23 Look, I want to be here for you.

00:15:26 Oh, Mr. Brandt, hi!
00:15:29 -You know this guy?
00:15:32 I was about to make a donation.
00:15:34 Oh, I'd be happy
00:15:36 as soon as this little prick
00:15:38 -Excuse me?
00:15:41 Five hundred bucks?

00:15:47 Besides, I'm not contributing

00:16:21 Go shove this pledge
00:16:26 It's still a lot cheaper
00:16:29 I'm sure her version
00:16:32 is a little different
00:16:34 I think the journal entry
00:16:36 "When everyone was singing
00:16:38 "l was banging Suzie Shapiro
00:16:41 "She was an oversexed
00:16:43 and why she was dating my son

00:33:19 I was in the city, and
00:33:23 So, hi.
00:33:25 No, no, I'm really glad you did.
00:33:27 What are you doing here anyways?
00:33:29 Interviewing
00:33:33 You're kidding.
00:33:35 Well, my interview at
00:33:38 didn't go so well.
00:33:41 How's Stephanie?
00:33:42 We broke up.
00:33:44 Really?
00:33:46 What--what happened?
00:33:48 Well, l, um...
00:33:51 I--I realized that
00:33:55 weren't hers, they were yours.
00:34:01 You know, what you did to me
00:34:04 Well, if it's any consolation...
00:34:06 your little intervention
00:34:09 So, I guess we're even.
00:34:14 OK.
00:34:17 Have you heard anything
00:34:20 Not a word. You?
00:34:22 She's moving to London.
00:34:25 What?
00:34:26 She got a job with an animal
00:34:29 There's a--
00:34:32 There's a going away party
00:34:34 I'm throwing it.
00:34:35 We kind of became friends, so...
00:34:43 Oh, that's great.
00:34:45 I mean, I can't believe
00:34:47 that she's leaving the country
00:34:50 I mean, nothing--not even
00:34:53 "Changing continents.
00:34:56 Look, if you've been
00:34:57 maybe--maybe
00:35:01 Forget about it.
00:35:02 God, you know,
00:35:05 You wait and you wait, and then
00:35:08 Come on, I did that once--
00:35:11 And us.
00:35:16 Yeah.
00:35:22 Yeah, I always thought
00:35:24 I wonder what happened.
00:35:26 Well, I think we were saving it
00:35:29 only it's L.A.
00:35:32 It never rains.
00:36:13 That morning began
00:36:15 I walked into the office,
00:36:17 and started reading
00:36:19 It was then that it hit me.
00:36:21 And at that moment,
00:36:23 what the writer
00:36:24 I had a brilliant mind,
00:36:27 greedy little man
00:36:29 was nothing more than one boring
00:36:39 Well, this truly is a fine
00:36:43 You've made this explorer proud.
00:36:45 Can you please
00:36:47 Ha ha. Done, amigo.

00:36:57 Ha ha. Well, of course
00:37:00 You're a young man.
00:37:02 As you grow older,
00:37:03 that all those feelings of guilt
00:37:08 all that shit we learned
00:37:12 Gradually, we heal.
00:37:14 How can you say that...
00:37:16 when your lack of morality
00:37:18 your family,
00:37:20 OK, so I did a few bad things,
00:37:25 I paid my debt.

00:37:32 Thank you.
