it was important.
Well that's not all the way

That's not really true,
I just didn't tell you.

be happy to see each other.
Wanted to make it a surprise.
You made it.
Well was I right or was I right?
- You were right.
This is definitely the kind of place
where you can really relax.
- Hey Jeff I'd like you to meet Ethan.
- Hi.
So Peter tells me you two had
some wild times in school.
- Yeah.
- Uh, that's the guy I want you to meet.
- Not bad.

you're into the runaway type.
- I thought that was your only type.
- I think you're right.

Yes.
Yes.

Hold it.

- Yeah, I mean if he
finds somebody he likes,

Or if I meet someone else.

And the owner says he can move up quick.
- [Ethan] So is he gonna take it?
Is he going to go?
- I told him I'd help him
start up his own business here
but now, he's not sure
he wants to do that.
Look, uh Jeff, listen, I got some things

But I appreciate the effort.
What the hell right I might as

(laughing)
Get outta here.
Leave my chest hair alone.
- This is all Steve brought?
- Yeah.

- Jeff, since you decided I
had something going with Steve,
I felt obligated.
And you know what, it was great.
- I'm glad.
- Good.
- [Jeff] I'm really glad,
as long as you're happy.
- Yeah.
- [Dennis] Hey, hey, hey.

- We just, need to talk.
I don't wanna stay with him.

Jeff.
What?
- Hey.
What's your problem, huh?
- Nothin'.

What's, what's going on?
What was that all about?
- Wasn't about anything.
- [Ethan] Give me this.
- To worry about, hey, fuck off.
Let go of it.
Just leave me alone.
- No I'm not gonna leave you alone.
I want to know what you're so upset about.
What're you so upset about?
- I thought that if I got
you and Peter back together,
you and Peter and me and Jeff.
I didn't think there were, I
thought it was a fair trade.
- Right, okay, so you wanted
me and Peter to get back
so you and Jeff.
- [Dennis] Yeah what's so bad
about that?
- [Ethan] So they could
split up so you could get
you and Jeff together?
Right?
- [Dennis] Right.
- [Ethan] Is that it?
- Right.
- [Ethan] And so what the
fuck is Steve here for?
Tell me that, what's Steve here for?
- In case, uh, in case it didn't work.
- Oh, in case I didn't work with Peter.
Uh huh?
Come on, what's wrong with me?
Huh, what's wrong with me,
you don't think I would
knock Peter's box.
- I didn't think anyone
was gonna get hurt.
- No one's hurt except for you.
No one's hurt.
Believe me, no one's hurt, no problem.
Sorry it didn't work out for you.
- Listen um, I'm gonna
go walk around okay?
- Yeah.
(phone ringing)
(dial tone)
- [Voiceover] Hello?
(car alarm blaring)
- You know what you did to me.
And so does mom, all right?
Whether you wanna believe
that or not, she knows.
She knows dad.
Don't act like you don't remember
because I know that you do.
I'm not a little child anymore.
You can't lie to me anymore
and I know what happened
and so do you.
You can believe what you want,
you can say what you want,
all right, but I'm facing something.
I didn't know where you were.
- Hey thanks, I've been looking for this.
- Are you gonna stay here tonight?
- Nah, gotta go back to L.A.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Didn't wanna tell me who it is.
So it's pretty urgent.
- Hello?
- [Voiceover] Hey sweetheart.

- Yeah I went out of
town for a couple days.

though would you?
- What are you talking about?
- [Voiceover] Honey, you know,
you are not getting any younger.
- Hey, calm down.

be so choosy as you think.
- Look, I told you.
- [Voiceover] Don't
act stupid, okay, just,
just pay the rent.
- Listen um, why don't I come over there.
- [Voiceover] You are not worth it.
- I thought we had a deal, David.
- [Voiceover] Fuck the deal we made.
- [Dennis] That's not the
way it's supposed to be.
- [Voiceover] Screw you closet queen.
- I want you to listen to
something, listen to something
really close, okay?
Fuck you!
God dammit.
Mother fucker.
- Who was it?
- Um, listen, I'm gonna have to uh,

- No, I'm not getting kicked out.
I'm just.
- Well then what's up, what
do you need to stay here for?
I'm just asking a question.
- I don't wanna talk about it.
- No, I wanna know why you're staying.
What, who was on the phone?
Was he your landlord?
It was your landlord.
- Yes, Ethan, it was my landlord.
- Well then what's happening, what?
Ran out of rent or what?
- [Dennis] Nothing's happening
we had a misunderstanding.
- No, we're having a
lack of understanding.
What is going on?
Are you behind on your rent?
- Why're you asking me
all these questions,
I just said I needed to
stay here for a few days.
- [Ethan] You're not being
straight with me, all right?
- I'm not being straight with you?
- No, you're not.
You're not being straight
with me about any of this.
- [Dennis] I was straight with you.
- No you weren't, all right?
We went to fuckin' Palm Springs,
I find out at the end of
the trip why I'm there.
I'm not there because I'm your friend,
I'm there because I'm covering for you.
- We don't have to rehash that.
Did I already apologize for that?
- Fine, you apologized, now I find out
that you gotta stay at
my place, forget it.
Forget it, no, no.
- [Dennis] No what?
- Look, I'm starting to feel
like I'm just doing you favors.
- You're doing me a favor?
- [Ethan] Yeah.
- What do you think we just did?
You think that was, I
did you a fuckin' favor.
- What are you referring to?
- You have to ask that question?
I did you a favor.
Now I need a favor and you're bailing.
- That was not a favor, all right.
That was not a favor, don't
tell me that was a favor.
I don't wanna hear that.
You went over the line.
- You want me to get out?
- Yes I want you outta here.
Get the fuck outta here.
(stuttering)
You and your fuckin' favors,
I want you outta here, now.
- Wait a minute, wait a minute.
- Get off the fucking bed.
It's bullshit.
You're bullshit, you're a
bullshit artist and I want you
the fuck outta here.
- You think I fuckin'
need you or something?
- Enough, I don't wanna hear
a fucking word, all right?
I want you out.
Get your fucking clothes.
- [Dennis] Wake up, 'cause I
don't.
- [Ethan] And dress
in the fuckin' hallway.
- All right.
- [Ethan] All right,
get the fuck out.
Fuck you.
- [Dennis] See ya.
- Like I could give a shit.
- Forgot my shoes.
I'm, I'm trying to figure somethin' out.
I really need a drink.
- Yeah, I could use one.
- Go down to the bar?
- Sure I'll come to the bar with you.
What else is there to do, huh?
I'll meet you there.
Get the hell outta here, will ya?
Please, leave me the fuck alone.
I'll see ya there.
- Take a picture of me.
Take a picture.
Take the fuckin' picture.
Take a picture of me.
Come on, take a picture of me.
Please, pretty please.
(distant shouting)
- [Voiceover] Boom, boom, boom.
- Thank you.
- See anything you like?
- No, not yet.
How 'bout you?
- I sure do.
I think this time it's gonna be different.
In fact I know it is.

- Well I won't know unless I
go over and talk to him, right?
- [Ethan] That's right.
- [Dennis] Buy you a drink?
- Oh I don't.
- [Dennis] What, you don't drink?
- No I don't really drink that.
- [Dennis] Would you let me corrupt?
Go ahead.
- Maybe I'll have a little sip.
- I don't want it.
(laughing)
Want something stronger to go with it?
- Yeah, maybe.
What do ya have in mind?
- Do you have the time?
- Um, it's about 10 o'clock.
- Do you know how late

- Uh, two.
My name's Ethan.

Nice to meet you.
You live around here?
- Yeah around the corner.
- You live alone?

(bell ringing)
(dial tone)
- [Voiceover] Hello.
- It's me.
- [Voiceover] Oh, I'm a
little busy right now, uh.
- Don't hang up.
- [Voiceover] I'll call you later
- Hello?
Yeah it's me.
I wanna talk to you.
- [Voiceover] What is this about?
- About, what about.
About why, why we don't talk.
About why we can't talk to each other,
why I can't talk to you.
- [Voiceover] You're not making any sense.
- Well you never know
what I'm talking about.
I said you never know
what I'm talking about.
It's funny, isn't it.
(chuckles)
It's funny 'cause I never,
I never talk to you.
So how can you know what I'm about to.
- [Voiceover] I'll call you later.
- Would you just listen
to me for a second please?
Yeah, me.
I'm not angry, I just wanna talk to you.
(sighing)
I want to, I just, hello?
I wanna just tell you what I think of you.
Yeah, yeah, what I think of you.
Because you sit in judgement of me
but I'm only a reflection of you,
you you're the one who raised me,
I didn't raise you, I didn't
make you do the things
that you did to me.
You did them yourself all right?
And it's not my fault.
Hello?
Well I hope you're still there
because I'm still talking
to you, okay?
I remember what you did to me even if you
claim that you don't, I do.
I remember what you did to me, all right?
And I'm not afraid to come out
and tell you that, all right?
Because it's not my fault.
It's not my fault that we
can't talk to each other.
Don't you have anything to say to me?
Did you?
- [Voiceover] I can't
change what happened.
Did you hear me?
- Mhm.
- [Voiceover] Did you hear me?
- Yeah.
- [Voiceover] Don't call me again.
- Okay.
- [Voiceover] Can you do that?
- Okay, if that's the way you want it.
I understand.
- [Voiceover] Take care of yourself.
- Okay.
Hello?
Goodbye.
