"The Paul Newman part alone would have literally melted my brain, let alone the "I just won an Oscar for best screenplay."" "That's incredible." "Wow." "Um, that is not even the super-secret awesome part of the story." "Yeah, what's that?" "No." " Oh, come on." " It's not first-date material." "All right, well, I am not gonna tell you my "I was almost Oprah's best friend" story, because that's not first-date material either." " Wait." "Really?" " Yes."

"I'm telling you that if Gayle King had been hit by a car that weekend," "I would probably be in Aspen with Oprah right now." "That makes me very happy for the health of Gayle King." " Here we are." " Oh." " Perfect." " Thank you." "Enjoy." "I have to say that I was actually really nervous that we wouldn't have anything to talk about in person, you know, because we shared so much digitally." "Are you kidding me?" "We covered everything." " We did." " Relationship troubles." " Our jobs, our kids." " Yeah." "Our peccadilloes." " Oh, I love that word." " Yeah, me too." "But not as much as I love your actual peccadilloes." "Ooh, stop saying that word." "Peccadilloes." "Yeah, it's not really a sexy word." "No, it sounds kind of like a bird with a dildo beak." "But we digress all over the place." "You know, I knew I would have no trouble talking with you." "Do you have a problem talking with anybody ever?" " Not really." " No, I didn't think so." " Yeah." " You're a master of the word, which is why you should tell me your super-secret Oscar story." "Ooh, that was sneaky." "I know, I just brought it right back around." "Yeah, you know, my sense of narrative tells me that the Oscar story is a post-first-kiss story." "Oh." "First kiss first?" "Wait, wait, wait." "Wait." "First kiss in the jazz section of a vinyl store with a box of Kung Pao?" "That's a little too Annie Hall." "I mean, classic but dated." "But first kiss at a awesome, slightly tacky bachelor rental would work." "Are you ready?" "Yeah, I am." "Are you?" " I am so ready." " Okay." "Yeah." "Um..." "Weird." "That wasn't good." "Yeah." "Maybe we should just try it again." " Yeah." " Okay." "Yeah, you go right." " I'll go left." " Oh." "And maybe open your mouth a little bit?" "Okay." "Wow." "You really are a writer/director." "I am." "I am." "I-I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Okay, let's just go." " Yeah, let's just go." " Let's just go." " All right, all right." " Okay." "Wow." "I mean, either I'm way out of practice, or you have a weird mouth." "I-I do?" "No, no, it's not you." "It's not you." "It's, uh..." " Duh." " What?" "No, just, you know, first kiss on the doorstep?" "That's a little weak." "First kiss in the rain..." "That would be great." "That's what it has to be." "Okay." "Is that better?" "Not yet." "Not yet." "Oh." "That's..." " That's the Bronsons' car." " Who are the Bronsons?" "Um, my son was supposed to be spending the night there." "Ooh." "Oh, boy." "Stomachache..." "They're dropping him off." "Um, look, I'm just not ready for him to meet you yet." "I'm not ready to meet your kid." "I really like you, but..." "This has been tremendous, and you got to go." "Tremendous." "I'll talk to you later." "Run!" "And he made you run home?" "Classy." "No, I only ran to my car, okay?" "And it was somehow very romantic." "I mean, the kissing was weird and sort of wrong, but in a good way, in, like, a..." "In, like, a first-act romantic-comedy kind of way." "You don't want to hear this." "You mean because Nate's the guy that ruined your marriage?" "You don't really think that he's the reason..." "The whole thing is just a little fast." " That's all." " Okay, well, I can't help it." " We just click, you know." " I get it." "I-I get it, okay?" "You do seem kind of electrified." "Right?" "It's like what Jake and I didn't have, at least not in the end." "Fun, spontaneity, mutual self-sufficiency..." "Hey, you." "Oh, hi, Mariska." "Okay." "Uh-huh." "You know what?" "Could you just put him on?" "Okay." "Yeah, you know, I'm just..." "I'm gonna talk to him at home." " Thanks." " Who was that?" "That was one of Ford's assistants telling me that there's a suit sale at Nordstrom and to remind me that it's trash day, and the bins should be out." "Oh." "Uh, maybe we could borrow your divorce lawyer." " Max." " I'm..." "I'm kidding." " Are you guys okay?" " Yeah." "Yeah, he just gets all "Power Ford" on me, and..." "It's fine." " I have bigger problems." " Really?" "What... what..." "What is happening?" "Cormac has no arm from center, and if Diego's thumb doesn't heal, we're screwed." "Aw." "Okay, well, I'm gonna pray to the thumb gods on Diego's behalf." "And I will pray to the love gods that you have an amazing night with Nate." "Thanks, coach." "Your shoulders and lower back are tense." "And whenever you're ready, you can turn over." "Huh, do you work on a computer at work?" "Your hands are pretty cramped." "Yeah." "I tend to point a lot and make fists." " Oh, wow." " Ow." "Bad." "That's some pretty deep stuff there." " See this?" " Yeah." "That's trauma." "We'll get at that." "Just try and relax." "Let go." "All your worries from the day ease away." " Mm." " Let your mind float away." "So how do you know Phoebe?" "Our kids go to the same school and divorce stuff." " Oh!" " Oh, my God!" " My nose." " My vagina?" "You said you were Phoebe's friend." "Yes, I am." "That doesn't..." " That's not an invitation." " Yeah, 'cause it's code." "That's what she told her friends to say if they wanted what I give Phoebe." " It's a service, you psycho." " How would I know?" "How would I know?" "How is this my fault?" "I think I'm gonna need to go to a hospital." "I'm gonna drive you." "I'm so sorry." " No, no, no." " No, no." "I won't hurt you." "It's okay." "Just not on the carpet." "Juanita!" "Yeah, but our kids are aggressively cute." "I mean, it can't be ignored." "It's like an adorable punch in the face." "Well, adorable Logan..." "He just wiped his boogers all over your phone." "Well, it's a step up from eating them." "Here you go." "One for you, for you." "Go by Nordstrom?" " I already have a suit." " Uh-uh." "I can't have my man looking all raggedy a-s-s." " Dad, I can spell." " My bad." "Sorry." "Okay, look, I'm gonna call Mariska, have her pick up a few and drop them by the house." "You can pick one, okay?" "Done." " Yeah, okay, well..." " Warn me!" "I had no idea that..." "Stop yelling at me." "Damon Cash is..." "Hey, hey, stop." "I said I was sorry." "If you call me a pimp one more time, I swear..." "Lyla, stop yelling at me." "You know what?" "I'm gonna hang up on you now." "I was trying to help you, and I am sorry, but you're being really mean." "Nightmare." "My God." "Bye, guys." " Bye, dad." " Good night, daddy." "I love you." " Hello." " Hi, mom." "How are you?" "Hi." "This is from dad." " Bye, mom." " How are..." "Bye." "What is it?" "Leftovers dad cooked..." "Special for you." "What did he make?" " Um, cheese dumpling things." " The ricotta gnocchi?" "And the mushroom stuff, your favorite." "The chanterelles with the sage brown butter and the gooey brown sauce?" " Yeah." " Mmm!" "Get over here." "It's time for me to kiss your face." "I missed you." "Okay, see you." "I'll be up in a few." "Mmm." " That was a good start." " Yeah?" "Yeah." "It was confident but not scary." " Yeah." " No, confident like Catwoman." " Oh, Catwoman." " Yeah." "Like Anne Hathaway, Michelle Pfeiffer." " No, no, no." " Eartha Kitt." " Yes, definitely." " I love Eartha Kitt." " Oh." " Ooh." " Too aggressive?" " No, no, that's good." " Should I be more aggressive?" " I don't know, just keep going." "'Cause I can be more aggressive." "Okay." " Keep going, just keep going." " Yeah, keep going." " Take these off." " Okay." "Yeah." "You all right?" " Come on." " Yeah." "Here we go." "Okay." "Oh, my God." "Yeah?" " We are having sex." " Yeah." "You know, our first kiss..." "It was weird 'cause it was weird." "It wasn't weird 'cause it was bad, right?" " It wasn't..." " Stop." "Stop." "What?" "What?" "Am I hurting you?" "Am I huge?" " No." "No, stop talking." " Okay." "Keep going." "Stop talking." "We can talk later." "Does that mean I'm not huge?" "I mean, I don't want to hurt you." "I'm just..." " We'll talk later." " Okay." "I promise." "I came." "Yeah." " You came too, right?" " Sure." "That was weird." "Weird how?" "Like, from a great distance." "I get that." "Is your tongue usually that cold?" "My tongue's not cold." "No, it is a little." "And your nipples are warm." "That's kind of a weird combo." "Nobody has cold nipples." "Who has cold nipples?" "My wife's nipples were cold all the time." "I don't know why your wife's nipples are cold." "Can we please just not talk about my wife?" " I didn't bring her up." " You know what?" " Just don't, don't, don't." " Okay." "Oh, this wasn't good." "I mean, is it awkward because it's our first time, or are we just physically incompatible?" "I don't..." "I-I mean, do you always narrate like that?" "Like, do you have to comment on all the proceedings?" "I'm so sorry." "It's just a habit." "You know, my wife used to say..." " Don't talk about your wife." " Oh, right." "You know, maybe it's just, like, a Rom-com obstacle, you know." "These two people, they're just perfect for each other, but they..." "They can't have sex." "We can have sex." "It just didn't go well the first time." "Yeah." "We can try again." "We could." "I'm just tired." "Me too." "Good morning, sunshine." "The light's so beautiful in here." "You know, I was thinking it was actually very romantic that the sex wasn't, you know..." "I mean, we spent so much time developing this incredibly deep connection without ever really sharing the same physical space, and our pheromones just haven't synced up yet." "Shh." "Stop talking." "Oh, okay." "Mornings aren't for talking." "They're for contemplating suicide." "Wow." "Jesus." "Oh, my God." "Abby McCarthy." "Oh, you cannot avoid me." "Oh, I'm not avoiding, just coffee-ING." "We signed contracts." "You sent me a check." "We got to get going." "I know." "I've just been so busy, on the run, on the go." "Come on, let me grab you a sec, come here." "Okay, so I got to meet Phoebe for a bite, so I can't do any divorce talk right now, but you really need to call me because we need..." "Well, hello, wait a minute." "Let me see here." "Your look this morning is just so very..." "Last night." "Oh, my God." "Is it that obvious?" "Look at you." "You got laid." "Did you think about Jake during?" "Did you feel guilty after?" "Did you enjoy it?" "Uh, okay." "Um, no, no, no." "Hmm, so was it rebound sex or not so much?" "You know when Harry met Sally?" "Absolutely not." "I hate those movies." "Well, I'm..." "I'm really not sure." "Honestly, I'm trying to figure that out myself." " That's okay." " Finally." " Is this the divorce powwow?" " Hi." "Guess who got some last night." " Nate sex?" " No." " It was Nate." " I'm not talking about it." " Nate sex." " Okay." " Dirty dog." " I'm gonna see you later." " I'm gonna see you at the gala." " Yes." "I'll see you tonight." "Are you going?" "Oh, absolutely." "I never miss the F.E.C. Gala." "And listen, you are not paying me to sit by the phone." " Right?" " Got it." " Okay." " On it." " Okay." " Bye." "I have been arm candy for half an hour." "I need a break." "Let's go to the table and mock people." "I love that idea." "So your night..." "Was it mind-blowing?" "Well, it happened." "I mean, it was a new experience." " It was unexpected." " Really?" "How so?" "He likes to talk a little more than I like to talk." "You just got to figure each other out." "First times can be weird." "Oh, are we talking about the rebound sex?" "I want the dish." "Delia, you look stunning." "Hello, Sir." "Delia Banai." "I'm representing Abby in her divorce." " It's my brother." " Max McCarthy." "Hi." "Oh, Max, as in "Max and Ford."" "Congratulations on your night." "Thank you." "Yeah, you know, I have been a supporter of the cause for some time." " Is that right?" " Absolutely." "Civil rights are civil rights." "It's so basic." "And you know what comes after gay marriage?" "Gay divorce." " That's funny." " She's kidding." "Oh, my ass I am." "Listen, just as everyone should have the right to marry, everyone should have the right to un-marry and be well represented doing so." "Excuse me." "Mwah." "I wish you all the happiness in the world." "Short of that, you text me." "Jesus, what percent of that was bull?" "None." "None percent." "She's an animal, but she's my animal." "Hi." "Hello." "How's Delia?" "Max, welcome." "This is the table where they stow the divorced ladies." "Come on, Max and Ford are sitting here too." " Oh, great, great." " Sorry, that was from before." "So they can rub their perfect marriage in my face." " Hey." " Hi, honey." " You look amaze." " Thank you so much." " Congrats." " Hi." "Hey." "Where were you?" "Mayor Garcetti wanted to talk Dodgers." "I'm sorry." "Good evening, everybody." "Thank you all for being here, and welcome to the Family Equality Council's" "15th Annual Gala." "We've had an exciting year, and we're gonna have an exciting evening celebrating those brave pioneers who help us lead the fight for our most basic civil rights." "You have the civil right to then fall out of love with whom you have chosen and question every choice you've made prior to that." "Please welcome last year's recipient," "Lieutenant Adele Northrop." "Thank you all." "What a warm welcome." "You have the right to be miserable." "I'm so sorry." "I am so sorry." "There she is." "You are a menace, lady." "You are a pimp, lady." "You punched Damon Cash in the face." "He tugged at my labial flap." "I was trying to get you some relief, but obviously, you are impossible to relieve." "What about picking up my dry cleaning?" " How about a Vicodin?" " You know what?" "You are such a pain in the ass." "Can you please do something?" "I won't try to help anymore." " Quiet down." " Come on." " Let's go." " For what?" "A gift card for Barnes  Noble." "Shore up our ranks with their financial generosity, but who present our best face to the world." "Just take it easy." "And then she punched my friend in the face." "I didn't punch him." "It was a reflexive backhand that connected with his nose." "Well, his nose is broken." "Oh, my God, from an unsolicited sexual encounter." "I understand." "I know for you, all are welcome." "You know what?" "That is unfair." "You have no idea what's happening with Vika and I." " Do not turn this around on me." " Okay, guys." "You have no idea what's going on with me." "At least I'm not home-wrecking." ""Home-wrecking"?" "How about your home, Lyla?" "How about you?" "How about your family?" " That's home-wrecking." " Oh, my God, so clever." "People are finding each other, falling in love, and getting married." "So, for the first time, the Family Equality Council's Leadership Award goes not to an individual, but to a couple." "Ford Phillips has been a master of the marketing universe for over a decade." "You know what?" "I'm done helping you." "I'm so done helping you." " Max, come on, we're up." " Okay, I'll be there..." "I'll be there in a second." "Max, please, come on!" " Go, go, go, go." " Max, it's all right." "Why don't you figure out what's making you" " so goddamn angry?" " That makes me angry." "Stop me telling me I'm angry." "What is there to understand?" "They're about to call our names right now." " I heard you." " Max, please, come on!" "Right now!" "Please just go." " Go back inside, please." " Max!" "Ford, I'll be right in!" "Can you really not understand?" "No, we don't." "We don't." "'Cause, Lyla, you know best, right?" "I do!" "In this case, I do." "So figure out a way to dial it down." "Take care of yourself so you're not taking it out on everybody else!" "This is important." "I know it's important." " I'm..." "I'm not an idiot." " Who said you were an idiot?" "You!" "You said I was an idiot!" "Everything that I do, everything, everything... the coaching, working, making dinner, it's not important to you." "You don't..." "You don't take anything that I do seriously unless it's about you." "Do you really not understand?" "Dan is gone." "We used to take care of each other, and now he's possibly gonna take my children." " I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." " No." "No, no, no." "Please, don't... no!" "You got the big job, and you got the big life, and you... you just want me to show up and look good." "That... that is crazy." "Sometimes I feel like you just want to be married." "But do you want to be married to me?" "Ford and Max are not an example of what a gay family should look like." "They're an example of what all families should look like." "Ladies and gentlemen, it is my sincere honor to present this year's" "Family Equality Council's Leadership Award to Ford Phillips and Max McCarthy." "Ford Phillips and Max McCarthy." "Thank you." "Wow." "Catching my breath." "Okay." "Thank you, and thank you, Adele." "My husband is, uh..." "Having a wardrobe malfunction." "So just imagine a handsome man in a perfectly fitting suit standing right next to me, okay?" "Max and I thank you all for coming and thank you for battling alongside us in the fight for family equality." "You know, when Max and I first met, the idea of getting married..." "That fantasy didn't exist yet." "Well, I mean, I was fantasizing about doing other things..." "But not marriage." "But then as we really got to know each other, I fell hard." "I knew this man and I..." "We just fit." "This man made me dream about forever." "I mean, look at him." "But we all know that isn't enough." "I mean, you should see him with our boys." "I dare anyone to see that and question his right to be a dad or our right to be a family." "But I will say this." "Now that we are legally man and man and kid and kid, the gets real, y'all." "Whoo." "Marriage..." "I mean, it's messy, and it's hard, and it ebbs and flows, but that's because it is alive, and that is a good thing." "That's what taking that vow is about, that when the fantasy is behind you, you look your spouse in the eye, and you say, "I do."" "I do, again and again." "Max..." "I do..." "Always." "Thank you." "Now, for God's sake, can we dance now or what?" "_" "Nate?" "Nate?" "Nate!" "Abby." "Hey, Nate." "Sorry." " Hey." " Hi." "Oh, freeze!" "Everybody, go..." "Go back to one, please." "And... and do it quietly." "You people are noisier than what's going on in my head." "Sorry." "Let's go, everybody." " Move it." " Could you find me a sandwich?" "Just nothing with pink meat." " Do you want anything?" " No, thank you." "Okay." "Come with me." "Hoo." "Wow." "So?" "Hello." " Hi." " Ahh." " Um, this isn't working." " We don't fit." "I mean, you can't blame us for trying, though." "Those were really good emails..." "Emails, yeah." " And really bad sex." " Terrible sex." "Awful." "Horrible kissing." "Really bad." "Oh." "I just want to say thank you." "You're welcome." "What'd I do?" "For us..." "Getting close." "You know, things we said, the way it made me feel..." "It just..." "It was a big part of my..." "It really helped me realize that my marriage wasn't in trouble." "It was over." "Likewise." "I mean, it was good." " It was good in a lot of ways." " Yeah." "The secret Oscar story..." "We are now not only post-bad kiss, but we are post-bad sex." "Change of subject..." "Very smart." "Um..." "Okay." "So..." "Blah, blah, blah, I get up onstage." "I go to shake Sidney Poitier's hand." "Sidney Poitier." "And I pooped my pants a little." "I mean, not a shart, no fart..." "I accepted the award." "I went back to meet the press, and I stink up the place." "It was hilarious." "Oh." "Let's never, ever, ever have sex again." "Classic story of married boy meets married girl, and they get divorced and have terrible sex." "It is a classic." "When Harry met Sally and Harry talked about pooping in his pants." "They should have made a sequel." "What would the sequel be?" "I don't know." " He's so great." " Nate?" " Really?" " No, not Nate." "I'm talking about your brother." "Oh." "Yeah." " You're both great." " Good stop!" "Oh!" "Ah!" " Yes!" " Yeah!" "What just happened?" "There you go." "That's what I'm talking about." "Do you not know the rules?" " I can walk you through it." " No clue." "There's nine players on field." "The pitcher throws to the catcher." "You know what?" "Actually, I don't even care." "I just want to watch my husband do his thing." "Okay." "Here we go, Jamie." "Go get 'em, baby." "There you go!" "There you go!" "Special order ricotta gnocchi, chanterelles, and sage brown butter." "Thank you." "It looks perfect." "My friends are onto us." "I'm not a home-wrecker." "I think we should come out to the world." "Oh, do we have to?" "Can't it just be our fantasy for a little bit longer?" "Okay." "Yeah, that's fine." "That's a good idea."
