[SOFT COUNTRY MUSIC] [DANIELLE GIGGLING] Oh, you know what? I actually have to go 'cause my friend Tammy's going to be really mad. But, you have my number. - [DAMIEN] Yeah, it's Da... - Danielle. [DAMIEN] Danielle, right. Yeah, maybe next time, you can buy the drinks. Oh, we'll see. - It was good to meet you. - [DAMIEN] Yeah, you too. Who the hell was that? And when did you start talking? 'Cause I was sitting right next to you and then, pfft, you were gone. -I'm sneaky. -[TAMMY] You all were engaged, honey, just jabbering on and on, couldn't get a word in edgewise. - You? Never. - He seemed nice. Well, charming. But then again, charming can be deceiving so, but maybe you know better, 'cause you were so engaged with him. Was he? You all going to date? [SCOFFING] I don't know. I don't know, he just seemed like a typical LA guy, you know? And besides, I don't know if I'm ready for anything at the moment. [TAMMY] Yeah, I feel you on that. I mean, you did just get out of something. Although, that was like six months ago, so. - Oh, you're counting? - I mean, now that I say it out loud, maybe it's time you get out there and explore? - [SCOFFING] Okay. - But then, again, I mean, being on your own can just be so liberating. - Yes, it can be. - You know, ya feel me? I do feel you. So we're splitting this Uber? Oh, no, actually, I'm staying at my friend Julia's around the corner, 'cause Ubers add up. Oh, yeah. You did say that, okay, well, good to see you, great to see you. Ooh, it was so good seeing you. [TAMMY] See you soon. Yes, I had so much fun. I did, too. Get home safe. Text me when you get home. [TAMMY] I will. Get kicks when we take part We go outside of the desert [DRAMATIC MUSIC] [CHUCKLING] [DRAMATIC MUSIC] [DAMIEN] Whoa! - [DANIELLE] God. - [DAMIEN] Dani, Danielle, you forgot your purse. Oh my God, I am so sorry. [DAMIEN] Yeah. Thank you. [DAMIEN] Yeah, you punched me in the fucking heart. [WHEEZING] [SIGHING] [DRAMATIC MUSIC] [ELECTRICITY FLICKERING] [DRAMATIC MUSIC] Really good on all levels, actually... [DRAMATIC MUSIC] You know? Mm-hmm. Like, the first time we had real talk we quickly communicated... - and it was amazing! - Oh yeah, I'm so sorry about New Year's that was so annoying. - No, no, no, it's okay. - Yeah, but it was annoying. Stop, I just said we killed it communicating. All right. And clearly we can be dorks around each other, so. [LAUGHING] Ew. [DAMIEN] I don't know what you're talking about. [SIGHING] Plus we have this thing where it's like you can instantly - tell when I'm feeling off. - Tell when you're off. - Stop. - Stop. - Stop it, you dork! - Stop it, you dork, ooh! God, you know what? Just forget it. Forget it, forget it. I'm kidding. But see? Well, to be fair the only reason why I could do that was because you brought that up a couple times. - [GROANING] That's so gross. - No, it's not gross. - I know it is. You hate it. - No, it's not. I don't hate it, it's sweet. [DANIELLE] Mm-hmm. It's sweet. Okay, well, in that case. Ruhro. No, no ruhros. My mom's coming into town this weekend and I told her about that breakfast place around the corner. Breakfast nook, what do... what is a nook? They were always using that, what is that? So, we're going to, we're going to that place at like 10 on Sunday morning... [DAMIEN] Mm. For breakfast. And I figured since it's right there that maybe you could come meet us? Umm... Nope, see? You were right not to use it. 'Cause it just seems like an adjacent small room from a larger room. Damien, can you meet up with us? Umm... I got to take Alan to the airport. Okay, well, you said his flight was at nine, so you have to drop him off by eight at least, so... Wow, we got an elephant over here. So. Memory-wise, obviously. Damien. Memory-wise. Oh my, come on! [EXHALING] Can you see how I feel that morning? Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to - push it. - No, no, no. I just wanted the two people I love to meet. You know? I love you. Cough, cough. [SIGHING] Fuck. Look Damien, I didn't expect this, and at this point I really feel like something needs to be done because I am starting to feel nice, I get excited to see you, and... And I get that little jolt in my stomach whenever you text me. And it feels like high school again. And I wasn't expecting to feel like high school again. How long have we been dating? - Seven months. - Three months. [DRAMATIC MUSIC] - Seven months. - Seven months, great. Put your fucking hand down. Look, you're... you're great, and we are great. Like the fucking connection, the fucking communication, the fucking, it's all great. Nothing? Okay. [SIGHING] Wait. Dani, come on. Please, wait. Just forget it, I deserve better! I deserve somebody who wants me as much as I want them, and you can't even kiss me in public! And you know what? It does not have to be some whole big thing, it is just a brunch. And you know what? I don't even have to introduce you as my boyfriend, okay, because God forbid, right? So. Oh, my God. I'm done. I am... done with not knowing where I stand with you. So, you know what? Here's your stupid fucking spare key. Goddammit. - Please don't. Please. - Just forget it! Just forget it. Actually, you should hear it, and you should let it sink in. I am not a coward, and I'm not too much of a child to deal with my own emotions. So at least I'm owning it. I love you, Damien. I love you and I feel like such an idiot. So you know what? I just hope you know this is the last memory that you have of me, goodbye. [DRAMATIC MUSIC] [ELECTRICITY FLICKERING] [DRAMATIC MUSIC] Danielle? [COUGHING] [DRAMATIC MUSIC] [HACKING] [CELL PHONE DIALING] Travis? Hey, hey, you okay? [TRAVIS] Drank a lot, no, I just want my bed. [DAMIEN] Okay. I was about to call the police. All right, Johnny, I got it, I got it. I was about to fucking call the police on you. [DAMIEN] All right, all right, get some rest. - Can we please go? - Fashion police. - No argyle after Labor Day. - Okay, okay. [DRAMATIC MUSIC] [TEXT SENT NOTIFYING] [DRAMATIC MUSIC] [TEXT RECEIVED NOTIFYING] [DRIVER] You been together for a little bit? Try two years, happily married. [CHUCKLING] Yeah, is that surprising? [DRIVER] It just seems like you guys, you start now. Near the beginning, the honeymoon phase. Yeah, you know what? That's because he actually told me about his obsession with human flesh on our one year anniversary. So you know at that point I was kind of had to accept it, unfortunately. Yeah, I just can't get enough of it, driver. Stop, stop. - I hate you. - I know. Oh, yeah, it's just right up here. [DRIVER] Great. It's nice to see two married people in LA that still look happy. [DOORBELL RINGING] [DRAMATIC MUSIC] - Hey, what's up? - Hey. I made it. Jesus, did you get any sleep at all? Ah, welcome to Hollywood. Thanks, buddy. Sorry I didn't pick you up. Oh, that's okay. Yeah, how was the Uber? Oh, really good actually, real friendly guy, who talk about chandeliers, turn out he... Dani broke up with me. Yeah, then she just stormed out. Wow, well, it's strange. Yeah, it's so strange, so strange, right? I was going to say it's strange because... Yeah, it's strange, like what is this, an ultimatum? So strange, you're not alone with the thinking that it's strange. No, what I was going to say is that in the entire time you've been out here I don't think you've dated anyone for more than two months, so. Now that's true. Yeah, I just figured you were like making up for lost time, or something. Are you going to eat? Oh no, I'm not hungry. [DRAMATIC MUSIC] So, what do you want to do? I figured we'd hit some of the Hollywood staples, you know, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Santa Monica Pier. - Yeah, we can do that. - Staples Center. Maybe tonight we just stay in and chill, watch a movie or something? Yeah, sure, yeah, you must be going through some stuff.

You know? Like... Naked and at his most vulnerable. Yet, she accepts him. Yeah, that's what we want right there. I mean, Sara was cheating on him before, so it's like different circumstances, but. Yeah, right, exactly. I guess I know what you mean. You get it, you get it. Queen that you are All right, well what do you want to do now? I don't know, man, I'm kind of wiped. I think I'm going to hit the hay. Okay. But, I really want to see some stuff tomorrow, please. Sure, sure. Um... Oh, if you wake up before me I have a...

Okay I got it, what is the craziest customer you've ever dealt with at the ranch? Okay, yeah, this one guy, he got really drunk, he had a whole bottle of wine on the patio, and then he started drunkenly tossing the pistachio shells on the counter by the cash register. And Natalie's like whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the shit is that? No good? A guy starts throwing pistachio shells on the counter, that's terrible. Well you didn't let me finish. It became this whole scene, - the place was packed. - No, - that's awful. - A fight it's broke out. That's awful, but... [HUMMING] What's the craziest thing you and your lady do in the bedroom? [SCOFFING] I'm not answering that. Why? Are you afraid of getting real? No, I'm not, I just... Gah, come on dude, we had something good going there. - I don't love that. - Why? Because it's way too personal. But that's what this show is, it's all about being personal.

Yeah, yeah. Come on, it's me, seriously. I don't know, it's just sometimes I feel like we're hitting a rough patch. Oh, man, I'm so sorry. Yeah, I don't know, it's ever since she got promoted. We've both been so busy that things have kind of slowed down in certain areas. Okay, hmm. All right so, do you think like, would you say that you resent Natalie's promotion? Okay, I wouldn't say I resent that. You just hit record, didn't you? You pointed at me. - No, no. - Okay, but every time you done that little half point you've hit record. No, no, I was like hey, tell me what's up man, like no bullshit. You know like, without hitting record. - Well, don't. - You are, dude! Oh, man! - What the F? - We had something going there. Okay, but I don't want to talk about that, just stop. [SIGHING] Why? Because I don't want to, it's just... Okay, okay, I'm not mad, okay, first show jitters, it's fine, we'll just talk about something else. Yeah, anything else, anything else besides my sex life. Cool, cool. Oh, okay. So how's the relationship these days, is a... Do you have any resentments that could bleed elsewhere? Actually everything's great, I've never been happier. Really?

Somebody's been serving... Under age? - Yeah. - Yeah. That's Tasha, the waitress. Yeah, manager's on her ass about it though, so something will be cracking pretty soon. Thanks for looking out though, champ. You need anything else, let me know. [DRAMATIC MUSIC] [PEOPLE CHATTING] Thank you. You okay? Yeah, it's just the same shit. Yeah... You seem a little jumpy. Get yours Yeah, I mean, have you noticed anything weird about my apartment? There was some strange noises, the light was flickering. Yeah, yeah. Oh my God, this pinot is interesting. The pinot on my ranch has this rich underbelly. - It's so good. - That's what I'm saying. - Oh shit. - [ALAN] What? - It's them. - Them, who? My neighbors. [ALAN] Oh, sweet. No, it will be very unsweet. Hey! - Hey. - This is the guys. - [GREG] Oh, hoo hoo hoo. - [TRAVIS] Scoot over guy. Hey. I realize that I shouldn't come out now. [LAUGHING] - Hilarious. - How'd you get this guy to come out? Jenny Swanson. - Jenny Swanson? - She's the girl at my office that's like banged all the guys in my office. - And that's why Greg came out? - The fuck are you talking about? - No, I like this girl at my gym. - How would Greg know Jenny Swanson? - Wake up, Damien. - I don't know, you just, you started talking about Jenny Swanson, so I was just like... There's a girl at my gym that I like. He likes this girl at the gym that has banged all the other guys but won't give him - the time of day. - We all know that for a fact. Okay, so how does that correlate to Jenny Swanson? Jenny... [SIGHING] Jenny Swanson is the all subtending girl that excludes you from a shot at the opposite genes pool. Okay? Keep up, fella. You literally walked into the middle of the conversation just talking about Jenny Swanson, so I have - no reference of any... -[GREG] Just do your best to keep up. [CHUCKLING] Why do you do that? You have this weird, goofy, deer doe-eyed look. Go get us some whiskeys, dude. Four whiskeys, I'll get the first round. God. [CHUCKLING] I'm sorry, are you lost, are you looking for the party? No, I'm Damien's friend, I'm Alan. This is my best friend from high school man, it's Alan. Oh, Travis. Yeah, what's up? We actually hated each other first but our girlfriends were best friends. This is true. Forcing us to hang out - and get to like each other. - That's right. Yeah, but then they broke up with us. Well actually, she broke up with me, and then you broke up with Carol, right? - Right. - Right. Yeah, I was going off to college and had to get out. [SNORING] Oh, are you guys done? That was a riveting story, Alan, I'm glad you're here. [SIGHING] So, why are you here, are you going to move here? I hope you're not. Are you going to move here? No, he's actually, he's out here for one last hurrah. What? Yeah, he's going to propose to that girl. - Yeah, the same girl. - You guys got back together? After eight years apart we've now been together for three. I've never been happier in my whole life. Oh my God, I am sorry, man, you've got that weird suburbia thing going on, we're going to get you laid. [SCOFFING] - You're joking. - No, I'm not joking, we need to get you laid. No. [TRAVIS] Yeah, no, yeah, we are. That was a cry for help, I saw it. Come on, look, you're in the biggest city of uncommitted people, and you have to get laid here. It's a thing, you got to do it, we're going to do it for ya. So that's why I was convinced to come out to get my mind off the gym girl. [CHUCKLING] Why do you do that? Did you think that the conversation stopped when you left and then we just paused? Alan here is going to get married to his high school sweetheart. - Lovely. - But before he does he's going to have a little rendezvous. [CLICKING TONGUE] Is that a good idea? [ALAN] It's terrible. She's actually best friends with Damien's ex-high school sweetheart. What happened to your girl? She ended up dating some military guy. But he's always off, so I don't know, last I heard it wasn't really working out, she was over it. Oh, no dude, he's a desk pusher now. They just got engaged. Oh. Really? [DRAMATIC MUSIC] I'm sorry, buddy, I was going to bring it up earlier, but... - No. - We're here. [TRAVIS] Yeah, we're just a knock on the door away. Guys, I'm... I'm fine. It's not a big deal, it's like forever ago. You don't seem fine, but... I, really, seriously, it's whatever. [CLEARING THROAT] Did you know Damien when he was a fat kid? [CHUCKLING] He wasn't that fat. Yes, he was, I saw pictures. He was like Louie Anderson fat. Living with Louie. Hey, did you lose your glasses? - You know what, man? - [ALAN] What? - I think you should. - I should? [DAMIEN] Have one last hurrah. - Come on, you can't. - Oh, come on. Yeah, yeah, I think he's speaking truth. Yep, that's a guy with an idea. No, no dude, I've had my fun, I'm ready to settle down. This is an even more reason to have one last rendezvous. - [TRAVIS] There you go. - [DAMIEN] Greg and I are upset. - I like the girl at my gym. - Travis always wants a one night stand, so come on, let's all go in. I like one night stands, I like a lot of one night stands. I'm always up for a one night stand. Oh, there's a hand in the middle of the pot. - What does that mean? - The hand in the middle of the pot means that that's a pact. If you put another hand in the pot what happens? It's pact time. Oh, there's a third hand. [GREG] I've got a small hand so I'm going to do two hands. He's going to do two hands, put your hands in there. -Don't break the pact, don't break the pact. -All right, fine, I'll put my hand on the pact. Okay, let me tell you something, you've got long hands. But that doesn't mean... No, it does mean something. Let me tell you something, you don't know me! - I'm just kidding. But I'm not. - Okay. - I'm really serious. - All right, fine. I'm going to the bathroom, I'm glad we did this. We're cool, it's okay. - No, it's not okay. - Yeah. Do you think I like you? Oh no no Breakfast. Excuse me? Breakfast. [DRAMATIC MUSIC] [PEOPLE CHATTING] [FOOTSTEPS] [DOOR SQUEAKING] Ah, Jesus! Sorry, you startled me. Mind passing me one? Oh, yeah, sure. - Here you go. - Thank you. Do I know you? Do you? I mean, you look familiar, but I can't place it. Sometimes things are hard to place. Or be found for that matter. Okay, have a good night. Do you love her? Excuse me? Do you love her? - Do I love... - My daughter. You know, we had some good times, and had a few laughs. Stop stuttering and answer me! Is this what you want? I think I want to leave. Don't be bashful about it, own it like a man! Own it like a man? That's right. - Own what, exactly? - You're asking me for my daughter's hand in marriage, aren't you? Had we only met. [FATHER SCOFFING] Have a good one. The answer is yes. I think you're mistaking me for someone else. Dani loves you, and that's all that matters. Welcome to the family, Damien. [DRAMATIC MUSIC] You know a lot of guys think that I just want a baby daddy, which is so far from the truth. I mean I really like my life, doesn't mean I don't want to have some fun from time to time. Who's this? [ALAN] Oh, this is our buddy. This is Damien. Damien. Oh, someone's in Cabo. Cabo? I just mean it's not a race, dude. Race, Mexican, right? Uh, normally he's very funny. - [ALAN] He has his own show. - Really? Like a TV show? So is this the male equal to Ellen? Equal parts whiskey and terror, right? Are you okay? Dude, did you see a ghost? [TRAVIS] Phantasma. Shena, you were saying. [SHENA] Was I? You were saying that even though you're a single mom you still like the D. Oh, whoa, okay, I don't know if I was saying exactly that. Hey, we all have, you know, animalistic urges. It'd be unfair to put a single mom up on like a pedestal, right? I mean you're a human being, you're like you deserve to have some, you know, the... The D! Yeah, I do deserve the D, you know, a big one too. I just, I refuse to be seen as this woe is me type woman that needs a man to take care of her. - Totally. - [SHENA] I don't need ya. [CAROL] Yeah, it's 2018, men are just sperm deposits by this point. [ALAN] Ouch. Everything is just so easy now. We have robots, self-driving cars, advancements in dildos. - Yes, gross. - [CAROL] They even have the texture down, you know. The whole hunter gatherer sense is gone. [SHENA] I have an announcement, I have yet to have a man give me an orgasm. [CAROL] That's because you don't use a dildo, I have told you. What about, what happened to compassion and love? [BOTH LAUGHING] - It's true, I do... - [LAUGHING] still like the feeling of connecting, and the feeling of weight on me, unfortunately. I weigh 185. You know, worse case scenario, I guess I have to raise my kid in this dystopian, animatronic type future. Oh you will thrive in a dystopian, manimatronic future. Is that so? Absolutely, my mother raised me. And my father couldn't hold a candle to her. Yeah, I think single parents deserve a lot of respect. Oh, were you a product of? [ELECTRICITY FLICKERING] [DRAMATIC MUSIC] No. A lot of people think that, but no, my parents are still happily married. - [TRAVIS] Really? - Yeah. Are you a commitaphobe? I would not use that term. That means yes. I just feel that everyone should love themselves. Well, you were raised in a respectful, loving relationship - so what are you trying... - We're derailing from the conversation. Maybe your parents raised you with this unrealistic idea of romance? I think people want what they can't have because it's safer and that we're all responsible for our own feelings, nobody else's. It's safer that way. And it's just, you know, it's just stress-free living all the time. I refuse to be psychoanalyzed. Carol. [DRAMATIC MUSIC] All right, I got shots. [ALL CHEERING] - Yes! - Yay. You should ID. Oh please, that line is not going to work on us honey. No, no, seriously. Just to let you guys know, we're going to be closing in about 10 minutes. [ALAN] Thank you, Jen. No one underage should be admitted in this bar. So drink up, have fun, I'll see ya in 10. Hey, hey, hey, did I hear shots? This is my kind of group. - May I join? - [TRAVIS] Yeah. [ALAN] Yes, you can have this one. [NANCY] Yeah. [TRAVIS] Hey, you know what? I think we should take this party back to Damien's house for after hours. [NANCY] Fuck, yeah! - Let's do it. - Yeah! Dame-o! I'm his next door neighbor. - Yes. - No, no, no. [ALAN] They're coming, they're coming. [DAMIEN] You left a naked, under-age girl in my bed. [NANCY] You didn't do anything, did you? - [DAMIEN] No. - [NANCY] Then what's the fucking issue? You saw some tits, we had some laughs, stop being a baby. [SCOFFING] You hooked up with an under-age girl. [GASPING] Did I? Yes, dammit. We kissed, and then we made fun of you after you passed out, we moved you into the hallway. [CHUCKLING] [DAMIEN] And her clothes came off when? [NANCY] Her clothes? [DAMIEN] Yes. Fuck if I know. When I left she was clothed. Are you sure you didn't remove her clothes? Yes, positive. Chill out, dude, I'm just fucking with you, I won't say anything. There's nothing to say. Look, I can invite her over if you're so curious. No, I just want to make sure she's okay. She's fine. She just drank a little too much. Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait, do you actually think that you're coming in here? 'Cause you're not. Duh. You're not, you psycho. You need me. Oh, and why is that? Because I'll make this fun while you go sulk in a corner. I don't... - M-hm. - I don't sulk, okay? - I'm not going to. - Yeah, you do. - You don't know that. - You do. - You do. - No. Hey, hey. - Hey. - Hey. [BOTH LAUGHING] Hey, you see this guy's apartment? But I have a three bedroom apartment. So she coming inside? Is that, it's okay? She can come inside my place. Yeah, yeah I think that's a good idea. -[LAUGHING] Yeah, it's a good idea. - You'll have fun. You guys should definitely do that. All right, have fun, okay? - I like that you share, bro. - Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey, make sure he follows the fucking pact, okay? - Okay. - Hey! [DRAMATIC MUSIC] Make sure he follows the pact. Okay, I'll do it, I'm going to go talk to him right now. Okay, just make sure he does it because it'd be good for him. Oh, hey, Greg. Dude, you should probably... She called you a hobbit, you're like a little handsome white Smurf. Okay, get some rest, good night, guys. [WOMAN LAUGHING] [DRAMATIC MUSIC] Of course I would. Yeah, he was drunk, he had a whole bottle of wine. He had an entire bag of pistachio nuts from our finest closet, he starts flicking 'em... [ELECTRICITY FLICKERING] on the counter. So just flicking shells just everywhere? - Everywhere. - Are you okay? - What? - Are you okay? Yeah, of course, why wouldn't I be? - You seem a little on edge. - Hey, where's the ice? - Oh! - Oh, my God. Security gets the suite, eh? - Oh, my God! - Great. Is he okay? He's fine, he just had a little bit too much to drink. How are you guys doing on drinks, you need some more? - Fine. - Oh, I'm okay. We just poured those. - Great, I'll get some more. - Whoa. [ALAN] Dude, what's up? What? I'm fine. Really? Because you just dumped our whiskeys out, now you're making us four new ones. I think if you keep this up you're going to turn into a big, fat [DOUBLED VOICE] loser! [DRAMATIC MUSIC] [DRAMATIC MUSIC] Who do we have here? What? Is it this important child's birthday? No, not yet. Happy birthday, fatty. [LAUGHING] [HEART BEATING] [BREATHING HARD] You're okay. You're okay. You're okay. [EXHALING] [GROANING] [EXHALING] [BABY CRYING] [DRAMATIC MUSIC] You're a father. [BABY CRYING] Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! [BREATHING HARD] Fuck. [SIGHING] [DRAMATIC MUSIC] Drives you crazy. - Yeah. - Well, man. Hey, Damien. Damien, is that you? Hey, man, [CLEARING THROAT] Alan says that he's probably not going to go through with the pact. I just feel super weird about it. But I told him that he should. And I said that I shouldn't. Yeah, and then I said to him again, "Yeah, you should." [CHUCKLING] So yeah, that's what's happening out out here. Hey, you look kind of weird. [CHUCKLING] Alan, you are going to go through with it, okay? Because we made a fucking pact, and it's not a time to be a little bitch, it's time to man up, right? Right? [LAUGHING] I'm not going to hurt you, I'm not going to hurt you, Alan. [DRAMATIC MUSIC] But you will fuck that girl. Hey, Damien, why don't you take it down a notch? Don't tell me to take it down, all right? Go hump crazy. And gentlemen... we have a pact. Are you sure? I packed 'em. Oh, yeah, you did. See, told you. A duh doi You didn't tell me anything. And that's actually not true, 'cause you were just saying something. I was? Yeah, about the girl from way back. Oh, Carol, yeah. Yeah, I guess she was the most serious thing I was ever in. [SCOFFING] Oh man, I love the way we talk about relationships. Like they're a John Carpenter movie. If we have any surprises for each other. I don't think we're in much shape to do anything about it. Best first date ever. Hollywood Cemetery, check. Aliens, check. Body snatchers, check. I would say to rephrase something from moments ago, duh doi. Hey, I just want to say thank you for putting up with my BS. Well, I've been known to fling some cow crap myself. And like I tell our friends, you and I are like Mike Meyers and October 31st. Seriously though, I know I can be difficult, and distant, you know, sometimes. But... you make me feel safe. Same. [DRAMATIC MUSIC] [KNOCKING] Should I be worried about you? Dude, you went to get us drinks and never came back like 20 minutes ago. [SIGHING] Dude, I'm so sorry, I'm a little out of it. Look, I don't want to be a dick, because I know you're going through some shit. But I'm pretty pissed off. Okay. Look, this is my first and possibly only visit to Los Angeles, maybe ever, and you don't want to do anything! And when you do, you're either disgruntled, or you fucking disappear, or you dumped out the whiskey shots. Come on man, wake up, I haven't seen you since like three Christmases ago. I just want to have fun with my old friend, and you're breaking my heart, dude. You're right, you're right, I'm sorry. Damn right. This is my LA trip. [ELECTRICITY FLICKERING] - I wanted to be a prosecutor. - God. What? Oh, nothing, I'm just going insane. Sure, the moment I realized my passion would make you go insane. No, no, no that's not what I'm saying. I'm just sorry, I... Well, we could go walk down that long hallway or, if you are going insane, then maybe we could be edgy and just stay here. Perhaps getting caught would add a little... Shit, I forgot about him. Dude, what are you doing? I was going to take the trash out, it started to fill up. , No man, I've got my trash, go sit down. I'll be right back, I'm sorry. Okay. Hey, you're doing really good with him. Just keep your confidence level high and just... Jesus Christ. [SOFT MUSIC] [CRYING] [CHILD LAUGHING] Late for kids.

Whoa, guys, a little privacy, please. Alan, I can't let you do this, okay? Everything I've said is horse shit, you deserve a real, untainted love, man. No, no, he's right, I'm sorry, Shena.

Really, a fucking girlfriend? Here I am fucking butt ass naked in your bed and you got a fucking girlfriend? I had a wonderful time with you. Oh, stop. [ALAN] Really! Oh, fuck off! - I'm sorry. - [SHENA] Fuck you! Thanks for nothing, asshole, I can't believe I wasted my night off with you. I should have known watching you in the bar last night all mopey and weird that tonight would be just as shit-tastic. She remembered me. I'm so embarrassed, you piece of shit. Wait, wait, last night? Yeah, you're buddy was there last night being just as lame and pathetic as he was tonight. [ALAN] Damien, what the fuck? I'm sorry man, okay? Like you passed out and I couldn't go to sleep. Dude, it's not just that, it's everything. The whole trip has just been one big wash with you! I know, I know, I know. I fucked up, I fucked up, I'm a fuck up. Okay, I fucked up Caroline's relationship. I've self-sabotaged every single relationship since. And, you know, I guess I did the same thing with you, and I'm sorry dude, I'm an asshole. Yeah, you did, asshole. Mainly to people I care about. Mainly to people you care about. [SCOFFING] And you don't deserve that. I'm sorry, you're my best friend, you've been my best friend my whole life, and I love you, man, and I just... Let's just save it. I love you, man, and I'm really happy for you and Natalie, like sincerely. Hey! You kept me up all night, huh? [DRAMATIC MUSIC] [SOFT MUSIC] [GROANING] [ALAN] Hey, bud, you didn't ruin my trip. If anything, you made it more interesting. Thank you for showing me just how much I love Natalie, you da man, hope you will be my best man come next spring. Love you dude, Alan. [DRAMATIC MUSIC] She Snaps like a flag In the wind And I Will never be forgiven These my sins And I'm sitting here Guess that's Natural selection But I've had nights With photograph protection But I Got a big bad love But I Got a big bad love [DANIELLE] Damien? [SCREAMING] Who is he? Who was that guy? [PEOPLE CHATTING] I Got a big bad love I've Got nothing Just words on withered pages And I've known so long that I forgot to make changes And I've had nights When sorrow's bled me dry And I I've been faced with unsayable goodbyes But I, I got a big bad love I I got a big bad love And the soles of my shoes Worn as thin as my faith And I guess I should Be heading home, honey It seems it's getting late Got to lay me down Inside my bed, uh-huh huh With these memories of you I pray someday that You could find A way to love me too 'Cause I I got a big bad love 'Cause I I got a big bad love 'Cause I I got a big bad love |
