"So the corrugated metal not only reflects the beauty of the common, off-the-shelf material but also emphasizes the invisible line between the old and new construction." "Wait." "There will be a line?" "It's invisible." "Just let him finish." "Oh, sorry." "Then the windows, here, are large enough from the deck you'll see the ocean from your master bedroom." "No way." "Really?" "Oh, God, that's great." "Look, honey, it's us." "Going this high will, of course, require some special permits from the city." "Why?" "Well, because the neighbors could possibly get upset." "Well, I think we can live with that." "We want it." "We want it." "Hey, you want some coffee?" "Sure." "Yeah." "Okay." "Okay." "These shoes cost $95?" "I just" " I don't understand why she has to have these kind of shoes." "Don't know what it is." "Her feet are growing." "Exactly." "That's why we should be buying her regular $20 crap because she's gonna outgrow them in two weeks." "It's just the opposite." "When their feet are growing you want the best support possible." "How do you know this, this shoe theory?" "It's just known." "Come on, sweetie, let's go get your pajamas on." "Go to sleep." "Good night." "I know it's early but good night." "Does this shirt look weird with these pants?" "The sitter's coming." "Like it's too thick?" "Who cares?" "It feels bulky." "Why don't you answer me?" "It's fine." "Because I could put on the new striped one." "That tucks in better." "What?" "You're pathetic." "I'm putting on the new striped one." "Good choice." "This kid played at my house all day, and his parents don't know who I am." "How do you know?" "I see them at school and they smile." "They don't say anything like "thank you."" "That's insane." "lt is." "I fed him two meals kissed his boo-boos, cleaned his pee." "You think his mother should acknowledge me." "That's just rude." "Yes." "I'd wanna know everything my kid was doing." "Maybe the nanny didn't tell she took him to your house." "Parents know where kids go." "Where's yours?" "Sitting in front of Dragon Ball Z where I left him." "I think it's too violent." "You think SpongeBob is too violent." "I never said it was." "I said it was ugly." "I'm ugly." "You know, I don't get SpongeBob." "Oh, come on." "Christine." "No, I don't." "What is--?" "How do you not get it?" "Why would I say I don't if I do?" "Okay." "Hey, you guys, listen." "Franny and I bought a table at an ALS fundraiser." "Yeah." "Will you guys come?" "No." "No?" "It's at that the Casa del Mar." "What is ALS?" "It's Lou Gehrig's disease." "It's really horrible." "I mean, it's awful." "Okay." "We'll come." "My stockbroker's wife is doing it." "It will be kind of" " It will be fun." "That reminds me, did you guys find a place to donate money?" "Because I thought of a couple of ideas." "Yeah, we decided we're gonna give it to Tammy's school." "Oh, that's good." "Yeah." "How much?" "Don't ask that." "I can, can't I?" "No." "Two million." "That Shabbat shalom school?" "Jane." "The one that makes you sell challah bread." "Oh, I love that bread." "Shit." "Give the money to Olivia." "Jane." "You're a maid." "You need money." "No, I don't." "I'm fine." "Who's--?" "You're working as a maid?" "You're a teacher." "Since when?" "Is that, like, hip now?" "Cleaning houses?" "What would be hip about working as a maid?" "I don't know, like the Zen, so un-hip it's cool." "Can we talk about something else?" "Nothing wrong with a maid." "Who cares what people think?" "Our maids make really good money." "Ours goes through our stuff." "She does not." "I don't know." "Stuff moves around." "Do you go through people's stuff?" "Like what?" "Like their drawers and shit." "No." "Good, because that would be really fucked up." "Excuse me." "I'll be right back." "He still smokes?" "He didn't quit." "How can you stand it?" "Well, he doesn't make me smoke." "Does it scare you?" "Or disgust you?" "You know, there's a Tse sample sale on next week if anyone wants to go." "Tse what?" "Tse cashmere." "Can't afford that." "Oh, fast." "They wouldn't let me smoke out there." "They're so uptight." "Anyway, I'd like to make a toast very much." "To Jane." "You're wonderful and generous and talented..." "...and have always been there for me." "Happy birthday." "I don't know what I'd do without you guys." "I think about what my days would be like without you as friends and I would just wanna die." "We love you." "Happy birthday, sweetie." "What did you get her?" "This." "Good taste, Aaron." "You like it?" "He's so gay." "Every time we see them you say that." "It's like a person's sitting there with a tree growing out of his head, and nobody says anything." "I don't know." "It seems like he loves her." "So tell me what you don't get about SpongeBob." "No." "Come on." "I'm giving you the opportunity." "I'll pass." "Well, where else are they gonna put their money?" "I don't know." "Hungry people." "Us." "We've got money and you know what?" "We don't give it to hungry people." "Not that kind of money." "And, yes, we do give money away." "We gave away a lot of money last year." "That's true." "But, you know, they probably do too." "Jesus, poor Olivia." "Why?" "She's the only one not married." "Yeah?" "ls a pothead." "Is a maid." "She doesn't look unhappy, so maybe...." "Christine and David have not had sex in almost a year." "Did you know that she has never actually seen his asshole?" "What?" "It's a fact." "How is that actually possible?" "I don't know." "I guess if you didn't really wanna see it, it could be avoided." "Oh, God, it is so sad." "Should we give Olivia money?" "Oh, no." "No, not again." "Well, I feel bad." "She's cleaning houses." "Well, it's her choice." "I mean, she could be doing something else." "I know, but...." "Should we hire her?" "To clean our hou--?" "Are you crazy?" "Our house?" "God, no." "I bet she'd get really stoned and become a cleaning maniac." "I bet she's really good." "Yeah." "No, no, no." "That's much worse than giving her money." "No." "No way." "Hello?" "Hello?" "I'm kind of sick of modern." "I swear to God, I feel like as soon as we did it, everybody else did too." "You have good taste." "Or else I'm incredibly trendy." "I think it should be very minimalist." "A minimalist family room?" "Yeah." "You know, just the necessities." "Beige, gray maybe a shock of color somewhere, like an orange lamp in the corner or something like that, you know?" "So all the cleaning supplies are under the sink in the kitchen." "Guess I'm pretty messy." "No." "That's okay." "I mean, that's what I'm here for." "This is the kitchen." "I don't have a dishwasher." "So can you come on Mondays?" "Yeah." "Mondays are good." "And how much do you charge?" "Well, let's see." "About $65." "I was kind of hoping for 50." "I don't usually charge that little." "Right." "Okay." "Really?" "Yeah." "All right." "Thank you." "How much farther up my ass can you get?" "Fuck you!" "You're buying fruit!" "Sad, sad, sad." "So this guy is showing me his disgusting house which clearly he's self-conscious about." "Then he has the nerve to ask me to take less money." "What did you say?" "I said okay." "Why?" "Olivia." "Because" "If this guy is so pathetic he has to haggle, I should just do it." "I mean, that guy's worse off than I am." "Or you are too scared to stick to your price." "God, I don't understand how you can clean somebody else's toilet." "I can barely touch my own." "You don't touch your own." "I know it." "Now, let me ask you a question." "What's with your hair?" "What do you mean?" "Well, I mean is that goop or is that just dirty?" "No, I guess it's dirty." "lt doesn't look good." "lf I wash it too much, it dries it out." "I don't wanna talk anymore." "Gonna get a sample." "Jane?" "Hey." "Olivia, this is Maya." "Hi, Maya." "How you doing?" "Your clothes are everywhere." "Seen them at Barneys." "Yeah, we're doing well." "Hey, congratulations." "Obviously, you had your baby." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Jane, Olivia, this is Tal." "Tal?" "Hi." "We had the hardest time agreeing on a name." "What if he turns out short, Maya?" "You know, we actually thought about that." "My husband is kind of short." "He's young." "You could always change it." "He might not notice." "Okay." "Well, no, we like the name." "It's not tall." "It's Tal." "Oh, it's Tal." "You know what?" "We have to go." "It was so nice to meet you." "Yeah, congratulations." "Really." "Oh, my God." "That was awful." "I can't take you anywhere." "Awful." "lt was a joke." "What are you so angry about lately?" "I'm not angry." "Oh, my God." "Aren't those the saddest looking plants you have ever seen?" "You are." "I wanna know what you're mad about." "Jesus, that's the fucker that flipped me off." "Asshole." "Okay, you're not angry." "You fucked at Chaya Venice?" "We go there all the time." "They have great sushi." "Was it on the sink?" "No, it was in the stall up against the wall." "Does she like this?" "She starts it." "What is that?" "Public places." "I don't know." "She's into getting caught." "By whom?" "Daddy?" "Do some raises." "Ten." "I'm fixing you up with Olivia." "No, you're not." "You need someone normal." "Olivia will fuck you in a bed." "I have a girlfriend." "She's married, you idiot." "And she's weird." "You'd be lucky to have Olivia." "She's great." "All right." "Hold." "What does she do?" "She used to be a teacher." "I mean, she did until about a year ago." "And she taught at this really fancy school in Santa Monica." "She taught 1 1th grade." "You would not believe the cars that these kids drove." "And she drives up in her ancient Honda and they would give her quarters for food." "They thought it was hilarious." "She couldn't take it anymore." "It's too bad too because she was so good with kids." "She just loves them, and she's so patient and giving." "How are her tits?" "Up." "Really good." "I'm marrying Richard." "I don't care what you say." "He's so wrong for you." "You don't even like the same things." "Doesn't matter." "We have amazing sex." "You know what?" "I don't give a shit what you do." "I don't think you'd say that." "Don't type that." "I don't give a shit." "But you do." "You just wrecked the car, I made you so mad." "No, I wrecked the car because of the lap dance." "These people are in love." "Says who?" "Us, at the pitch meeting." "I don't care." "I'm mad at her." "I distanced myself." "I can't work like this." "Like what?" "You're bullying me." "I'm bullying you?" "We're having a discussion." "No, we're not." "You changed your mind and you're being stubborn." "We write together." "Why is there so much noise?" "Maybe because we're building a second story." "What?" "Not too many people could wear that color." "You could get away with it." "I don't know." "Try this one on." "You can't tell shit if you don't try it." "There are no dressing rooms." "That's cool." "They don't care." "Yeah." "Good idea." "Yeah." "lt looks good." "Think I should get it?" "Yeah." "Thanks." "I never would have seen it." "There's just so much stuff here." "Pay me back with a coffee?" "A coffee?" "Have a coffee with me." "I've gotta get back to work." "How about dinner?" "I'm" "I'm married." "Oh, well." "Lucky man." "No." "Oh, hi." "How are you today?" "Hi." "Fine, thanks." "I'm looking for this product." "I think I saw it in a magazine." "I think they said it was for lines, like Résolution D-Contraxol?" "Oh, yes, our Résolution." "Oh, yeah, maybe." "I think." "They said you were giving out samples." "Yeah, we are." "Would you like one?" "Yeah." "Sure." "Well, you use this at night." "And you'll see that the results are amazing." "Really?" "That's great." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Now, you know, your oily face could really do with some Clarifiance." "Hi." "Can I help you with something?" "I think so." "I'm looking for this lotion." "I saw it in a magazine." "I can't remember the name." "Résolution?" "Maybe." "I think so." "Anyway, they said you were giving out samples." "Is that it?" "Great." "Thank you." "You know what?" "I was-- Could I get one for my girlfriend?" "She had asked" "Not a chance." "Hi." "Hi." "You're early." "I had to get away from my stupid husband." "See?" "This is my girlfriend." "Give her a sample." "Thanks." "You're welcome." "ls this actually for me?" "Give it to me." "I just think it's dangerous." "I mean, kids get paralyzed falling off them." "You put a net around it." "I think we should just get rid of it." "I think the maid would take it." "But then her kids would get paralyzed." "Oh, yeah." "Right." "I'm worried about Richard." "He doesn't play with balls." "What do you mean?" "Well, like at the park, he has no interest in them." "Well, you know, he probably does other things." "He's probably just playing with the other boys that don't like balls." "Exactly." "Little gay boys." "Would it bother you if he was gay?" "No, you know, I just don't want him to have any pain." "Well, everyone has pain." "Well, then, extra gay pain." "That's not funny." "Oh, come on." "No, it's not." "Come on." "Hi, this is Olivia." "I'm not home." "Leave me a message." "Honey, hi." "It's Christine." "Listen, I just recommended you to this sort of friend of mine looking for someone to clean her house." "She's very rich and very picky but I think she'll pay a lot of money." "So if Melanie Charney calls, that's her." "Bye." "And all the thoughts of the day are going up, up, up and out the top of your head." "And everything is white and calm easy and sleepy." "I love you." "I love you too." "Here's Ralphy." "Don't turn off the light." "I really want another kid." "No way." "Why not?" "I don't know, because I'm 1 00." "You are not 1 00." "And I'm sure we could get pregnant if we tried." "There's no way we're gonna have another baby." "You can't just decide that." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Another hang-up?" "Why do you look different?" "Oh, I shaved my thing." "My beard." "Oh, my God." "Yeah, like three weeks ago." "Wow, you shaved your beard three weeks ago?" "God, I'm so sorry." "For what?" "Well, for not noticing." "It's okay." "I don't care." "Well, it looks good." "Thanks." "So Franny, who I met through Jane, my friend Jane, she designs clothing." "She's real" " They're all kind of weird." "What do you--?" "What do you keep looking at?" "I think that the girl sitting behind you is someone I went to junior high with." "Don't, don't, don't-- Hey, hey, hey." "Please don't stare." "No." "Why not?" "How do I look?" "Compared to what?" "We just met." "Oh, yeah." "So are you--?" "So you're from here?" "Yes, I grew up in the Valley." "I'm sorry." "It's so weird." "She hasn't changed a bit." "Really?" "Yeah." "Well, why don't you go say hi to her?" "Are you kidding me?" "That girl ruined my life." "What, really?" "What did she do?" "Well, we made out once in her father's basement." "And I was in love with her, you know?" "And we" " She was my girlfriend for, like, two hours." "And then she dumped me." "Yeah, exactly." "I'm sorry." "It's wild for me to see her here." "So do you work out?" "No, not really." ""We all went on safari near the Serengeti gate." "Looks like your dad's home." "We startled wary" " Wart hogs--"" "You want to do some work?" "I'm reading with Max." "We gotta work." "Okay." "We'll read more later, okay, babe?" "Maria?" "Sorry, Mama's gotta work." "When are we gonna get our tree?" "We got a whole month." "But when are we gonna get it?" "Well, we'll get it before Christmas." "I promise you, buddy, all right?" "Okay?" "Whatever." "Hey, hey." "Wait, wait." "No, no, no, I'm paying." "I'm so sorry." "We had so much to catch up." "Don't let her pay." "I'm paying." "I am a shithead!" "lt is hard enough having a blind date." "I know." "You're absolutely right." "Hey, so can we go out again?" "Please?" "I went ape shit back there because that's a girl who humiliated me in high school." "Didn't anyone ever just, you know, wreck your life and then you see them as an adult?" "It's intense." "Are you stupid?" "Kind of." "What do you do again?" "Oh, right, right, you're Franny's trainer." "What do you do?" "Franny said that you used to be a teacher." "I'm a maid." "Yeah, right." "I can't be a maid?" "No, you can't." "Not really." "That's funny." "You're really a maid?" "Yeah." "In fact, I have a job right now, so I gotta go." "Can I come watch?" "Your sister called." "What kind of fish should we get?" "Your father's had a stroke." "What kind of fish should we get?" "Your father's had a stroke." "Very funny." "I have a problem with this line." "I think Elliot would believe her." "Why would he believe her?" "He saw his father yesterday." "Because it's...." "Melanie just doesn't joke like that." "It's not in her character." "I don't agree." "God, how did we even get this far?" "We're writing two different scripts." "Every time we disagree, you fall apart." "What?" "You're eating a lot of shit lately." "What?" "I said, you're eating a lot of shit lately." "So what?" "So I can see it on your ass." "I'm just telling you because, you know I thought you'd want to me to tell if I noticed that." "What made you think I'd want you to tell me if my ass was getting fat?" "Because I guess I'd want you to tell me if I was gaining weight." "Really, you'd want me to tell you?" "Yes, I would." "Would you want me to tell you, for instance, you have bad breath?" "Would you wanna know that?" "I guess." "Well, now you know." "I'm trying to get you to drink more water not because it's healthier." "It's because your breath smells like a dead man." "Why didn't you just tell me?" "I would have got my teeth cleaned." "Because I didn't want to hurt your feelings." "It wouldn't." "Really?" "It's not like it's my fault, per se." "Man, I wish I had that mechanism." "So not only do I have bad breath always but I'm a dick because I don't take it personally?" "I can't work anymore." "I'm out." "A fat-free turkey." "She got fat-free pepperoni, fat-free milk." "Diet this, diet that." "I Can't Believe It's Not Fat." "Jesus." "Of course, vodka." "Big bottle of tequila, more...." "More vodka." "Some Ben and Jerry's in the back." "Makes sense now." "Put that back." "She has to either get drunk or really stoned to believe that she's actually eating something." "Do you smoke it?" "What, their pot?" "No." "I smoke my own." "lt wrecks your brain." "Okay." "Here, why don't you clean the inside of that." "That's disgusting." "How come you don't have a boyfriend?" "I don't know." "Ask my last boyfriend." "Okay, I'm not doing a good job." "Disgusting, I'm gonna throw up." "Who cleans your fridge?" "Manuella." "You gave me the worst job." "I so did not give you the worst job." "What are we doing?" "Well, we're dancing." "It's fun to dance." "Yeah." "Can I kiss you?" "You seriously want to kiss me now?" "Yes, I do." "Okay." "Do you want to put that down?" "Okay." "Where's the waiter?" "You think he fell off the face of the fucking earth." "He was nice." "To you maybe, he thinks you're cute." "He didn't even notice I was sitting here." "What are you talking about?" "You are so blind." "The waiter's, like, in love with you." "I'm a guy and I'm with you." "I just want the check." "It's like they were up your ass to get your order then when you need the check, they go out back and smoke a cigarette or something." "Oh, here he is." "I hope everything was all right." "Can I get you anything else?" "Just the check." "No." "Honey, look, it's one of yours." "Yeah." "Don't you love that?" "She doesn't look very good in it." "Yeah, but it's yours." "You designed it." "How much?" "One hundred dollars." "That's not bad." "Whoa, hello?" "I mean, I helped." "Yeah, I mean, don't you think I should get some of the money?" "I mean, not that it's a thing, but...." "I mean...." "Cool." "You know, you could make a lot more training." "You make, like, $50 an hour?" "Sixty-five." "I'm so out of shape." "So why is he a jerk for not being upset?" "I mean, it sounds to me just like he's more confident than you." "He's a jerk because he's not upset." "Of course he's upset." "Wouldn't you be if I told you you had bad breath?" "You do tell me." "And how does it make you feel?" "Not great, but it doesn't, like, rock me to the core, you know?" "I just go brush my teeth." "Well, he told me I was getting fat." "That's much worse." "Are you?" "Aaron, why are you being such a jerk?" "Because you are just sitting there deciding that David's the schmuck." "Well, he is." "Maybe and maybe not." "I'm sorry, Christine, but maybe it's partly you." "She knows it's partly her." "I do?" "You know, I just have to be more like Franny." "She just shrugs everything off." "Right?" "No, she shrugs because she doesn't like confrontation." "Yeah, maybe she just chooses her battles." "Are we going to this fundraising thing?" "No." "Yeah." "No." "Yeah." "What is it again anyway?" "Homeless." "ALS." "Oh, that is so sad." "Oh, right." "And I get to wear the Yohji jacket I never get to wear." "You have a Yohji Yamamoto jacket?" "Yes, and he is so sexy in it." "ls he?" "Maybe if you and David had more sex, you'd get along better." "He's my husband." "It doesn't count." "Right?" "Fuck." "Well, how often do you guys have sex?" "Often." "No, we don't have sex often." "Well, I thought...." "You know who has a lot of sex?" "Matt and Franny." "Well, I would have a lot of sex if I had that much money." "I mean, nothing to worry about." "No stress." "You're crazy." "I'm not." "Listen, they are relaxed." "They never fight." "I've seen them fight." "No, not often." "You think he can't get lung cancer because he's rich?" "Probably." "You're so bitter." "I cannot believe he smokes." "And she lets him." "How does she let him?" "By accepting it." "Well, good for her." "Maybe that's why they don't fight." "That and the money." "Your hair smells so good." "Really?" "I wasn't sure that Iavender-tea-grass thing was too strong." "Oh, yes, I liked it." "lt was good." "Really?" "Yeah." "Oh, gosh." "I wonder how the blind date went." "Oh, yeah." "You know what, I don't" " I don't really see them hitting it off, you know?" "I know." "I just wanted her to have a date." "Yeah." "What exactly is the problem?" "I don't know." "She just hasn't met the right guy." "And until you meet the right one, the others are all wrong." "Boy, has she met some wrong ones." "Especially in her 20s." "My God, that was painful to watch." "I think she's still hung up on that married guy, Raymond." "Who, Mr. Masculine?" "She used to squeeze his whiteheads." "That's gross." "I know." "Well, this is sad." "Yeah." "He's single." "But there is kid stuff around." "He's really got a fantastic decorating sense." "What a piggy." "So, what does this guy do for a living?" "I think he's unemployed." "Yeah, his house feels unemployed." "And he has a maid." "That's weird." "Maybe he's depressed because he doesn't work and feels too bad to clean up." "Sounds like a real putz." "It makes sense to me." "Hey, let's fuck here." "No." "I've" " Excuse me, I've...." "I've seen you in here a lot." "Yeah, I just work up the street." "Oh, what...?" "What do you do?" "I run my own company." "Oh, tell me." "Well, it's like an organic-bath-products company." "Called Luscious." "You're shitting me." "I love that stuff." "You talking--?" "You're talking about...." "lt has the chunks of fruit in it?" "You use it?" "I love it." "Can I take your order?" "Yeah." "I'd like some Brie but on wheat bread, please." "And you?" "I'm gonna have the exact same thing." "That sounds great." "With salad." "Okay." "You want salad?" "Yeah." "Okay." "I'm Aaron, by the way." "You're kidding?" "I'm Aaron." "You're not." "I'm Aaron." "No, I'm Aaron." "Nice to meet you, Aaron." "And you, Aaron." "Yeah, what do you do?" "I'm a clothing designer." "Really?" "My wife's a clothing designer." "My goodness." "What a coincidence." "What do you design?" "Socks, actually." "I own Shock Socks." "Oh, my God." "No." "You're wearing my socks." "Oh, my goodness." "That is fantastic." "So it's like a six-week anatomy course." "Yeah." "And how much does something like that cost?" "I think it's like 1 800." "Oh, my God!" "Well, you can't get a certificate without it." "You know?" "Well, can you make $65 an hour right away?" "I can't" "It's sort of complicated." "What are you doing?" "It's a stitch." "A stitch?" "Yeah." "Oh, God." "Can I work at the place that you use to train Franny?" "You should try making it to the end first." "You know what?" "I could clean and I could train." "Okay, well, let's keep going, then." "How about that?" "Fuck that." "Everything hurts." "What?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Are you totally blind?" "What are you talking about?" "Marcus, hi." "I'm Wyatt's mom." "Oh, hi." "What's going on here?" "Let's see." "Well, you stole my parking place, obviously." "And you know what?" "Your son had a play date at my house last week." "He did?" "He did, yeah." "His nice nanny brought him over." "Who are you?" "Wyatt's mom." "Oh, okay." "Hi." "Hi." "Hi." "He had two meals, you know, big ones broke a mug and he told us that you let him watch Desperate Housewives." "Yeah, thought you might wanna know." "Buckle up." "And yeah, you're welcome!" "ldiot." "What about my gum?" "Not now." "Take your time, sweetheart." "So it's a six-week course..." "...and when it's over" "You have to take a test." "But when I'm done, I get a certificate that tells me I can work in a gym." "How was the sex?" "It was fun." "He doesn't look at me, though." "Hate sex?" "No." "Anyway." "So the course is $1 800." "And I'd pay it back over a period of time." "That's a lot of money." "But I'd make it back." "Why don't you just go back to teaching?" "Teach poor kids." "It's not my calling." "Miss Franny, I'm going home now." "Hi, Olivia." "Hi, Teresa." "You know what?" "I'm doing what you do now." "I'm a housekeeper." "Cleaning houses." "Okay, good night." "Bye." "That was so stupid." "I'm just sort of confused because you're my only friend who doesn't like to exercise, and you're gonna be a trainer." "What?" "I don't understand." "What's the--?" "I mean...." "Do accountants have to love numbers?" "Do nannies have to love children?" "Yeah." "Franny, if you had to work, then what would you do?" "I feel like I work." "I feel like taking care of my kids is work." "But you have full-time help." "It's true." "Are you trying to make me feel bad?" "No." "I don't think." "I'm sorry." "What about Christine?" "I know." "What are they doing to that house?" "It's sort of sad." "Yeah, I mean they should be in couples therapy, not expanding their home." "You know I would feel a lot better about giving you the money if you went to a therapist and figured out what you really wanna do." "Is that a "no" on giving me the money for the training?" "No, I'm not saying that." "I mean, I have to talk to Matt about it anyway." "Do you have to check with Matt on lending me money for therapy?" "Well...." "Franny, you know you buy your 2-year-old daughter $80 shoes from France and you're giving me a hard time." "That's" " That's Matt." "That's not me." "I gotta go." "You're leaving?" "You know, you just-- You don't understand what it's like." "Before Matt, you would've lent the money." "It's not even his money." "It's your money." "Of course it's his money." "We're married." "So we thought we'd do something tomorrow afternoon, if that's okay." "Are you kidding?" "You need friends." "Go." "Is he married?" "I guess so." "He's got a ring." "Come here." "You're my best friend." "Hey, I'm sorry." "I don't know what's wrong with me." "You're just tired." "Yeah, I am." "It's okay." "I don't feel like myself." "I think this birthday was hard for you." "Forty-three." "What's the difference?" "Yeah, but you're in your 40s now." "It's real." "It's like we're just waiting to die." "You're serious." "That's so depressing." "Hon, your hair, your" "Does it feel greasy?" "I don't feel like washing it." "My arms get tired." "So do you think Christine and David are gonna split up?" "Do you remember that fight they had at our wedding?" "No." "They were yelling at each other in that only downstairs bathroom." "Oh, yeah." "She was mad because he made some crack about her dress." "Do you remember that weird dress?" "It's like they keep having the same argument." "And they weren't even married yet." "You think they shouldn't have gotten married?" "I don't know." "Maybe it was right at the time." "Yeah, but that's not enough to get married, is it?" ""Right at the time."" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Who is this?" "Why do you keep calling?" "Hey." "I know you." "No, I don't think so." "Oh, look, there's Sammy's mom." "Hi, Sammy's mom." "Hi." "We're just bringing you some cookies." "We heard you got a new kitten." "Yeah." "Max would love to come over and see it soon, wouldn't you, babe?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Want a cookie?" "No, thanks." "Marla, sorry about the construction." "I know it's been really noisy." "See you." "You care too much what people think." "But we're friends." "It's" "We've had so many play dates together." "It was crazy." "So she's in a bad mood." "Who cares?" "I care." "Just because you can remove yourself to feel superior, doesn't mean I can." "What the hell is that?" "It's what you do so you're never affected by people." "I can take the next customer." "No, no, no." "Wait." "Excuse me." "I was next." "No, you weren't." "But you can't do that." "Hey." "I was waiting in line." "It's not right." "Let me help them, then I'll help you." "You see that?" "Were they in front of me?" "No." "This is crazy." "I've been waiting in line." "How important could being in front of me be?" "Calm down." "Really." "What kind of person are you?" "Feel you got away with something?" "Is this really worth it to you?" "Sorry, could you step over there, wait your turn?" "Seriously." "ls there a manager here?" "ls there a manager here?" "I'm the manager." "How can I help you?" "Everything all right?" "Everything's not all right." "These two people cut in front of me." "Everyone is letting them get away with it." "Them." "There." "Those two people with their stupid fucking faces." "I'm sorry." "I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the store, ma'am." "Me, you kick out, and to them you do nothing?" "Let's go, ma'am." "I'm sorry." "Just let me buy what I need." "I don't think that's going to happen." "Well, then take it all, then!" "On top of it, I don't get the part where the guy tells the other guy not to come to the house." "No, no." "I don't think you're supposed to get it." "It's like" " It's deliberately confusing." "Really?" "You sure?" "I" " I don't know what I'm saying." "Are you hungry?" "Yeah, I'm starving." "Let's" " Should we go and find somewhere to eat?" "I actually" " Just earlier today I went to a farmers' market." "I live right up the street." "So, I mean, I could make us something." "Oh, listen, I don't want to impose." "No." "Please, I love to cook." "I would" " It would be my pleasure." "You've got such a great place." "Your paintings and stuff." "Did your wife decorate or did you?" "You know, my wife pretends to be interested in that stuff, but she's not." "I ended up doing the whole thing myself pretty much." "My wife's into her designing, but I did the house." "I think we're ready." "Do you mind grabbing that?" "No." "Thank you." "So how long have you guys been married?" "Eight and a half years." "Really?" "Yeah." "Us too." "No." "Yeah." "You have kids?" "No." "No." "You guys?" "Yeah." "We have a son." "Was that a--?" "Like a conscious decision?" "We" " We tried actually, for years." "But at this point, it looks like it's not gonna work out." "Sorry." "Yeah." "It's actually been a huge strain on our relationship." "How so?" "You know, just not being able to get pregnant and...." "You know." "I'm sorry, this is weird." "Maybe l" " I mean, maybe I'm being too intimate." "No, no." "It's okay." "It's funny, I just feel-- I feel really comfortable with you, so...." "Me too." "I'm glad." "Usually, when I become friends with a guy, he thinks I'm hitting on him." "Just because you care about what you wear..." "...doesn't meant to say you're gay." "Exactly." "I love your shirt, by the way." "Her hair alone should have been a sign." "You think she just stopped bathing?" "No, just shampooing." "Maybe she's upset because her husband's gay." "God, why do you always say that?" "He's not gay." "But what else could he be?" "Well, he's not." "He's just Aaron." "Hi." "I can't believe I had my phone off." "I was at the movies and forgot to turn it back on." "She's not out yet." "ls she okay?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Well, you know, she always did want a nose job." "It's not funny." "Hi." "How bad is her face?" "My God." "She broke her nose." "Was she in a lot of pain?" "Actually, she couldn't stop laughing." "When she was conscious." "What's even weirder is that she hates Old Navy." "I mean" "I love Old Navy." "That's good." "So where were you?" "I was at the movies with a friend of mine." "Which friend?" "New friend." "This guy I met." "So, Olivia, are you gonna talk to me or what?" "You know" "Look, it was a really stupid idea." "Let's just forget it." "No, I won't." "I can't believe you won't talk to me because I asked you two questions." "It wasn't just about two questions, Franny." "It was your tone." "What happened, huh?" "She" "She wants to be a personal trainer." "Oh, you know what?" "Fuck all of you guys, all right?" "Look, I'm sorry I don't have my entire life figured out." "Olivia, we love you." "We're the ones who love you." "It's not like we have all our lives figured out." "Oh, that is such bullshit." "You chose to quit your job." "That job was intolerable." "That's still you." "Wheelchair to Admitting." "Wheelchair to Admitting." "Well, I hope Jane will be okay for the benefit thing." "Shit." "What am I gonna wear?" "My God." "I don't understand" "I don't understand these fundraisers." "I mean, they waste all this money on the these parties." "Why don't they just give the money to the scientists or to the sick people?" "But you know what?" "They don't." "They throw a party so rich people like me can spend $1 0,000 on a table and then they give it to the sick people." "Okay?" "That's how it's done." "Hello?" "Hi." "It's Olivia." "You cannot call me here." "Come on." "You know." "I really-- I really, really need to see you." "That's not possible." "Yeah, but don't you miss me at all?" "I have to hang up." "Come on." "Just answer me." "I gotta go." "I'll see you." "Hello?" "Hi." "This is Olivia." "Olivia?" "My husband's one-night stand?" "Yeah." "I guess, if you consider two months a one-night stand." "Could you please put him on the phone?" "Olivia, why don't you go find a husband of your own." "I would if I fucking could, Edie!" "Fuck off!" "Hey, what about this one, honey?" "That one, Christine, is scrawny and dead." "I'm not spending $1 00 on that." "They're all $1 00." "It's disgusting." "Why?" "You'd spend it on something else, why not a Christmas tree?" "Because we throw them away." "That's crazy." "No, $1 00 on a Christmas tree, that's what's crazy." "What's that?" "Nothing." "I'm just trying to be more like Franny." "Not annoyed." "Good." "So let's not get one." "Fine." "But I want one." "All right." "Sorry, honey." "That one's more money." "Fuck it." "See, there are a lot of things that are wrong and right." "As you get older, you try to figure out which ones are which." "And some are big and obvious like don't kill anybody or hurt anybody on purpose." "And some are trickier." "And sometimes you do the wrong thing before you know you're doing the wrong thing." "Want some?" "These are cute." "Like what?" "Oh, I don't know." "Okay, say you're taking a test, and you don't know the answer." "So you look at the guy's paper sitting next to you, and you copy his answer." "That's bad, right?" "Right." "You should not do that." "But while you're doing it, you're thinking to yourself:" ""Well, this doesn't hurt anybody, what difference does it make?"" "Well, it does make a difference because those little things add up." "So, Wyatt, what you should understand" "There are a lot of injustices, a lot of things aren't fair." "When people make it worse by doing the wrong things like taking your parking space or cutting in front of you in line at a store and then they're just making the world an uglier place." "I figured out why Christine always thinks Aaron is gay." "Because she wants someone else to have as bad a marriage as she does." "And then she just gets mad because she thinks Jane's in denial." "You know, I have no idea what you just said." "Don't you think we have enough?" "A couple more." "Well, they won't know what hit them." "Yeah, well, isn't that the point?" "Hey, lookit." "Lookit." "Hey, stop" " Don't go through her stuff." "Well, she leaves it right here." "Well, it's her house." "Where else is she supposed to put it?" "I don't know." "Hidden somewhere." "Isn't she scared you're gonna find it?" "I didn't." "You did." "Did you clean those shelves?" "Yeah." "I got you a Christmas present." "Hey." "You" " You missed a spot over there." "Get it." "Back here." "Yeah, back here." "Faster." "Faster." "Okay, turn it off." "What?" "Put the vacuum down." "You're done with that now." "Dust" " Dust" " Dust the trellis." "And don't" " Don't miss any spots." "It's delicate." "It's very delicate." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yes." "Yes, what?" "Yes, Mr. Mike." "Yeah." "Get the lower bits." "Don't be sloppy." "They're delicate" "All right, you know what?" "I thought this maid's thing was about sex." "lt will be." "When?" "I'll be right back." "Well, what the fuck did you think?" "That somehow we could all just see through it?" "Excuse me." "You guys have to stop, okay?" "You have to stop working." "Guys, you have to stop, okay?" "You have" "Everybody, the job's over, all right?" "No more work." "Please." "Go home." "You guys can go-- Does anybody speak English?" "Anyone?" "No work." "You can all go home." "You understand?" "No work?" "No work." "Exactly." "No work." "You can all go home, okay?" "Adiós." "Go home?" "Hey, hey." "Hey, what the hell are you doing?" "We have completely ruined our street." "Do you know what we've done?" "Guys, go back to work, please." "Yes." "No." "No, you have to stop." "Please." "No, David." "Listen." "I just came from Marla's house." "We've completely ruined her view and everybody else's." "Our house is so fucking huge no one can see the sky anymore." "Are you serious?" "You didn't know?" "Right." "Know what?" "That we were doing something really, really gross?" "No, I didn't." "What planet are you on?" "Everybody in the neighborhood is doing this." "Marla's trying to make you feel guilty." "You're the one that wanted the view." "How the fuck else would you see the ocean from the bedroom?" "Hi, Christine." "This is Melanie Charney." "You know that maid you recommended?" "I'm sure this isn't the case, I wanted to know how well you know her because, I don't know, this is silly but I'm missing a $75 jar of face cream." "And I just can't imagine where it went." "I mean, what kind of person would steal someone's face cream?" "Will you give me a call when you can?" "We're more than halfway through." "We're not stopping now." "You don't care about others." "You knew." "You just didn't want to pay attention." "I didn't know!" "You notice what you want." "Shit!" "I'm going out for a while." ""You all right?" "Did you burn yourself?"" "What are you talking about?" "Nothing." "I just burned the fuck out of my hand and I politely asked myself if I was all right." "It's something you seem to be incapable of doing." "What?" "I just burned my hand." "Did you notice?" "I don't" " I don't know." "Yes, I guess so." "Does it ever occur to you to say, "Are you all right?"" "You are all right." "But does it ever occur to you to ask?" "If you're all right, which you clearly are then what the fuck is the difference?" "If you want me to know you're all right, why don't you tell me?" "Okay." "So say I scrape the fuck out of my arm." "And I yell:" "And you don't say anything." "I should say, "Don't worry, honey, I'm all right."" "Yes." "What's wrong with that?" "So I'll speak to you soon." "I had a good time." "I thought we were gonna go to dinner or something." "I can't." "I can't." "I wish I could." "I already have a plan for dinner." "I'm sorry." "Thanks for my present." "We" " We almost forgot." "My cut." "You really want this money?" "I helped." "You're a fuck." "You just will." "People do." "But how?" "I can't even imagine." "Does one of us move out?" "Him or me?" "Him." "I can't believe I'm talking about this." "I'm sorry, Aaron, you can have your wife back." "I just" " I should go anyway." "Just take your time." "Hi, my name is Olivia and I am the lady that cleans your house." "And I'm calling to say that I'm not going to be able to come to work anymore." "Actually, I got another job." "I'm...." "So I'm very sorry." "Hey, it's Marty." "Leave a message after the beep." "All right." "Hi, this is Olivia." "I'm the lady that cleans your house and I'm calling to say that I'm not gonna be able to" "Hey." "Oh, hi." "You're there." "Yeah." "I'm calling to tell you that I'm not gonna be able to do it anymore." "Well, how come?" "Be" " Well...." "Because I just...." "Well, actually, I got a job." "What is it?" "In cosmetics." "Yeah." "Hey, what do you do?" "I am presently not employed at the moment." "Well, what did you do?" "A little bit of everything." "A lot of nothing." "Do you wanna go out sometime?" "Sure." "Good." "Pretty good, huh?" "That's very nice." "Very pretty." "God." "Is this too dressy for homeless people?" "ALS, ALS." "Why do I keep forgetting that?" "Oh, wow, this is soft." "When did you start working with this fabric?" "lt gets little holes in it, though." "Really?" "I'm kind of afraid to move." "It looks cuter when it gets little holes." "Jesus, not when you're paying 800 bucks for it." "Well, you're not paying for it." "I didn't mean anything by that." "It's okay." "I know it's overpriced, but it has to be." "I'm paying for mine." "Shut up." "I will." "Just shut up." "Why shouldn't I?" "Because it's a gift." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "All right." "Thank you." "I don't know about that." "I know." "This?" "Take it off." "Take it off, take it off." "Oh, thank you so much." "I" " It's just a little runny." "Oh, sorry." "I'll make it again." "You should not apologize." "He should be apologizing." "You should've order them over-medium, honey." "No, then they come back dry." "Always." "Especially here." "Oh, we've never been here actually." "Who picked it?" "I did." "I really like it, I really like it." "So do I." "There's such" "What do you do?" "Oh, we run the company together." "Yeah, yeah." "Aaron's the artist, and I'm pretty much the bookkeeper." "No." "I always give socks as presents." "Really?" "I have for years." "So did we, but you can only give your wares away for so long and then you actually have to buy something." "Didn't I ask for coffee an hour ago?" "Excuse me." "Could I have some more co--?" "Fell off the face of the fucking earth." "What do you have to do--?" "They have one job and they can't do that right." "Jane." "Please." "What?" "What?" "Will you not have one of your fits." "I mean, we're having a really lovely time." "Okay?" "He's gay." "He's not gay." "Oh, okay." "You just met his wife." "Who has a serious bug up her ass..." "...and has a reason." "She does." "What does she have to complain about?" "Do you know how much her clothes cost?" "They're hideously overpriced." "Sweetheart, you buy them." "Oh, they're gorgeous." "Who cares if you don't get another coffee?" "Was it worth making us look like crazy people in front of our new friends?" "Just tell me." "What horrible injustice was done to you that you have to act this way?" "What is it that you don't have that you have to walk straight into a plate-glass window?" "Or that you can't get up the incentive to wash your fucking hair." "I wash my hair." "Yeah, when?" "Have you seen it recently?" "Just tell me, are you intending to go to the benefit looking like that?" "What's the point?" "It gets dirty and you have to wash it all again." "That's what civilized people do." "They get up and they wash their hair." "And when it gets dirty, they wash it again." "Well, I don't want to." "Jesus." "Is this your idea of rebelling..." "...against the way things are?" "I'm not rebelling." "What are you doing?" "I'm just tired." "Of what?" "I just guess I feel like there's no more wondering what it's gonna be like." "Like what's gonna be like?" "My fabulous life." "You don't like your life?" "No, I do." "I like my life." "Good." "I hate black tie." "You know, Olivia's bringing some guy again." "We're buying some guy a $1 000 dinner?" "I know." "At first, I was kind of annoyed." "But then I just feel so bad that I introduced her to Mike." "I mean...." "I had no idea he'd be such a dick." "And then she knew David wasn't coming and there's an extra seat, so you know." "Still have to talk to him." "Well, just sit at the other side of the table." "It's for a good cause." "What?" "ALS or Olivia?" "Wow, you look amazing." "Thank you." "Maybe this guy will be the right one." "It only takes one." "Do I have a smudge?" "No." "It's just, I think you might be a little casual." "Do you have a tie?" "I" " Oh...." "So, what's he like?" "He sounded kind of nice." "More like her than her other boyfriends." "Isn't it weird how they throw these fancy parties for money?" "Why don't they give the money to the sick people directly?" "It seems like such a waste, right?" "Anyway...." "You know, I don't think the two of you have much in common." "I know." "I sometimes wonder if we met now if we'd be friends." "Not likely." "Probably not." "That's good." "That's so true." "Yeah." "That is so true." "You're funny." "Max?" "Yes?" "Do you like these shoes?" "Or are they too clunky?" "What's "clunky" mean?" "lt means, you know, heavy." "Not delicate." "Like chunky." "You're not gonna give me any help, are you?" "Good boy." "When we met, I had like 400 different kinds, remember?" "Yeah, I do." "I was obsessed with shampoo." "I thought if I could find the right one my hair would be the hair I always wanted." "Like, every time I washed it was a new opportunity." "A new chance to be pretty." "Just right." "Then I married you and I found out they all have the same shit in them." "You guys I love this stuff." "This is amazing." "Lookit, this is expensive stuff." "Oh, my God, would you smell that candle." "Vomit." "What?" "Here." "Oh, please." "You serious?" "Yeah." "You know what?" "Give her the whole thing." "Thank you." "Oh, my God." "Listen, I'm keeping mine." "It's what you put in this bag anyway." "If you want to, you could just donate that directly to ALS." "Oh, fuck you." "How is Max?" "He's okay." "He's gonna go to a shrink." "I think it'll help him." "Yeah, that's good." "ln case you're wondering..." "...my husband and I just split." "I know, Olivia told me everything." "Sorry." "I'm divorced too." "It's really hard at first." "Marty has a daughter." "And I actually saw a picture of her." "She's so cute." "She's 1 0." "She's beautiful." "Really?" "What's her name?" "Ivy." "Ivy." "I love that name." "So, Marty, what do you--?" "What do you do?" "I mean, for a living?" "I dabble in some stuff and opportunities, investments." "I get stuff done." "There's so much stuff in this auction." "Yeah, there are." "Reese Witherspoon will knit me a sweater." "Sweetheart, look at this." "So weird." "Tandem bike." "We could get that and ride that." "How long would that take?" "Does anyone know what a Donzi boat is?" "I don't." "Oh, my God." "Who would pay to walk on Nip/Tuck?" "Oh, God, I would." "I'd be there in a shot." "That surprises me." "Why?" "Is this pretty fucking small for 1 000 bucks." "Jane, please." "Before we start eating our really small food I wanna make a toast to the fact that, you know, we don't have ALS or anything horrible." "Yet." "Jesus, Matt." "No, no, no, it's true." "This is when starts." "This is the age." "No shit, man." "I just found out I have 1 5 percent bone loss." "Which bone?" "What is bone loss?" "It's absolutely normal." "It's like kind of before osteoporosis sets in." "Welcome and thank you all for being part of this very important evening." "Project ALS is driving scientific research forward." "And tonight, we are paying tribute to the individuals...." "You were the prettiest one there." "He was actually really nice." "And did you see his jacket?" "It was" "It was really quite beautiful." "Whose?" "Olivia's boyfriend." "The fabric, it was quite gorgeous." "Oh, I don't think so." "And I know fabric." "No, no." "I felt it on the way out." "It was cashmere." "Pretty expensive." "He does seem nice, you know?" "And she looked sort of happy." "And the girls just looked great in your clothes." "You were the prettiest one there." "Hi." "Hi." "Did he go to sleep okay?" "Yeah, it was fine." "Good." "Thanks." "Good night." "Good night." "I know they're a really depressed group of people." "No." "That's probably why I was so comfortable around them." "Really?" "You liked them?" "Yeah." "I'm sorry about Matt." "God, he asked all those questions about, you know, your work." "I don't usually tell people this unless I've known them for a long time but I don't work." "Yeah." "I don't blame you." "I mean, if I could figure out a way not to do it, I wouldn't either." "I mean, right?" "No, I mean I'm really rich." "Yeah, you wish." "No, I mean it." "My family, my father actually was incredibly wealthy, and I inherited all his money." "I don't need to work." "So I don't." "Well, that's" " I mean, that's great." "Good for you." "I just can't take the in-laws anymore, Richard." "They're wearing down my nerves." "Well, what do you think it's like for me?" "Your sister with those spaghetti dishes." "I thought you liked the way my sister cooked." "She...." "You okay, Miss Christine?" "So I was thinking, like, a nice armoire over there." "Oh, yeah." "You know?" "I like those." "And maybe some new curtains." "I always-- I always wanted to get this..." "...but I just don't know where to go." "Oh, I know where to go." "Really?" "Yeah." "So you'll help me?" "Oh, yeah." "That would be great." "Yeah." "No, there's...." "Hey, can l--?" "Can I ask you something?" "You know, remember when we first met?" "And you bargained down my price?" "Yeah?" "Why would you do that?" "I mean, when you have a lot of money." "I'm sorry." "That's...." "I just...." "I" " I guess I have some issues." "You do?" "I" " You know, people sort of problems." "I have them." "That's okay." "I got problems."
