"Okay." "Babs, let's roll out." "Abby can catch up." "And if you didn't ask about the state of my marriage every time that I walked..." "Did I ask you about JD one time tonight?" "It's your marriage, Phoebe." "You can ignore it all you want." "Wow." "Thank you." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean it that way." "We're just worried about you." "That's why we hit you with the questions." "We haven't even seen you." "And we miss you." "We care about you, okay?" "[sighs]" "I just thought he would come to his senses by now and fight for me, but..." "He hasn't, so I guess he doesn't want to." " Maybe he needs more time." " Maybe he's just waiting for you to make the first move." "What do you want?" "I have to get back." "I'm sorry." "But you guys can stay, or... or not." "It's whatever you want to do." "Well, we should bounce." "Yeah, definitely." "I'm gonna get the car." "[gasps]" " Oh, my God." " What did I miss?" " [gasps] - _" "It's Philip Christede." "Of course he's here." "Dickwad among dickwads." "Go serve his ass, girl." "[phone keyboard clicking]" "We're doing this series of first-person narratives about sex and estrogen replacement therapy." " I would read that." " You should." "You should get up in that vagina research." " Ugh, save me!" " Hey." "I cannot listen to that woman one more second." ""Blah, blah, blah. 1.2 billion per episode."" "Has to spend all day opening residual checks." "Get over yourself." "Yeah, that's my least favorite "Law  Order."" "I mean, it's so rape-y." " Right?" " Yes." "Uh, Temple, this is..." "This is Abby." "And, Abby, this is..." "No introduction necessary." "Temple Hampton, I'm a big fan." "It's really nice to meet you." "Thank you." "Are you nominated?" "For a BAFTA?" "Oh, my God, no." "[chuckles] I'm a writer." "I mean, I'm a real writer, not a TV writer." "Abby just started this very cool website." " Is this the right drink?" " Oh." "It's called Lady Parts." "The website." "And we're just starting to plug it on Twitter, and..." "I should, uh, go find my friends." " It was really good seeing you." " You too." " Nice to meet you, Abby." " Nice to meet you too." "Can you taste this, please?" "Does it have sugar in it?" "Because I told them no sugar." "I can't have sugar." "So, we may have overstayed our welcome." " Any luck?" " Ugh!" "Yeah, I know." "Ooh, is that Temple Hampton?" "I love her." "Did you target her?" "I tried, but that guy that she's with..." " Cute." " Is my ex." "Shut up." "Abby." "Oh, my God." "That's our in." "Uh, yeah, no, I don't think so." "Did you ask her?" "Work that contact." "He is not a contact." "He is my ex." "It's all too embarrassing." "Embarrassing?" "Have you seen our unique viewer count?" "Let it go." "My ex." "My choice." "This is an opportunity, and we're gonna miss it because you're too proud?" "I made a decision." "That's it." "It's final." "I'm not your employee, Abby." "Did I say that?" "No." "This is one decision." "It's every decision." "You never just trust me unless I force your hand." "I didn't agree to take this risk with you so you could boss me around." "Is that how you feel?" "That I'm bossing you around?" " Yeah." " I see us as equals, and I'm sorry that I don't want to talk to Will." "I get that whatever happened with this guy was painful." "But that's in the past." "This website is our future." "And as your partner and your equal, my gut is saying, swallow your damn pride." "[music and chatter]" "Here you go." "Excuse me." "Hi." "Are you Philip Christede?" "Depends who's asking." "I think we met in St. Barts." "It was a really wild night." " That sounds about right." " Mm-hmm." "Oh, this is for you." "It's a gift." " Hmm?" " Enjoy." "Hey..." "What the hell is this?" " Here we go." " Gemma!" "Gemma!" " Phil, what's going on?" " That woman..." " He just point at me?" " She just subpoenaed me." " I didn't come here to be accosted." " I know." "Could we have these two escorted out?" "Okay." "You ready?" "Would you follow me, please?" "[concerned chatter] [mouthing words]" "Hey." "Hey." "Um, so I wasn't entirely honest with you before." "My site... it is my chance to do something important, and it is not easy launching something new, and we are struggling." "That is why we are here crashing this party tonight." "Crashed?" "How very Abby of you." "That's right." "My fancy-pants are fraudulent." "[laughs] We just need a celeb to, you know, tweet or whatever about our site, and so far, we've struck out." "So you need a holler on social media." "Someone meaningful." "Yes, and since my idea to approach Madeleine Albright was vetoed," "I thought I would ask your girlfriend." " Temple?" " Yeah." "Oh, God, uh, no, she's not my girlfriend." " Oh." " She's not my girlfriend." " Sorry." "I thought that..." " No, no, no." "We're just... hanging out." " Oh, you're hanging out." " Yeah." "Oh." "Um..." "Uh, well, she has a lot of followers, so..." "Yeah." "I think she has a person that tweets for her." "Oh, yeah, of course." "Of course." " She has a lot of people." " I bet." "However, I happen to have her phone right here." "Oh, yes, those are too big to fit in the clutch." "More importantly, I know the pass code." "Really?" "Without even asking?" "I asked you for help once." " You helped me." " Why, yes, I did." "Plus she has no idea what she tweets, anyway." "Uh, what's the website?" "[upbeat Latin music]" "I can't remember the last time I slept with someone where I could look just directly into their eyes." "I'm short but powerful." "[laughs] Yeah, that you are, my feathered friend." "I'm gonna get some water," " because Sensei says..." " "Stay hydrated."" " Yes." " Yes, I know." " Get me one?" " Yeah." "[clears throat] [sighs]" "♪ ♪" "Oh, shit." "♪ ♪" "You leaving?" "Hey." "Yeah, I got to go." "I got a work thing." "You're working this late?" "My work often... happens..." "late." "What are you?" "A vampire?" "[laughs] [both laughing]" "Okay, well, that was fun." "Yeah." "See you." "See you." "Here's to our wild success as process servers." "To a lucky break." "Mm-mm." "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity." "Sounds like something Oprah would say." "Roman philosopher Seneca said it first, actually." "Oh, I'm full of surprises." "So, where are you from?" "Local boy." "San Dimas." " Oh." " My dad owned a bar." "Law school was a ticket out." "Where'd you go?" " Harvard." " Uh-uh." " [laughs] - [scoffs] What?" " Wow." "I didn't know that." " Yeah." "Do you ever think about working for a law firm?" "Yeah." "I got offers from O'Melveny," "Arnold  Porter." "But I just couldn't do it." "Why not?" "Who wants money and power when you can have all this?" "[sultry pop music]" "I had no idea that Delia, first of all, was even..." "No, hey, it's water under the bridge, P." "Thank you so much for hosting this." "You're welcome." "What is this?" "Why have I never seen it before?" " This thing?" " Yeah!" "It's cute." "Really?" "Just..." "I don't know." "It doesn't really go with much." "JD got it for me at a bod..." "I don't know." "This little bodega in Venice." "Yeah." "It's an impulse buy." "Whatever." "Well, I love it." "Can I have it?" "Um..."
