- Run for it! - Come on, Lisa! Go, go, go!
Go for second!
It's gonna be close.
Yeah, Lisa!
United States wins gold!
You did it!
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Yeah, Lisa!
So basically we're down to three choices for the last slot.
Lisa's here to see you. I'm glad you're meeting with her...
...because when it comes to this girl, the intangibles are everything.
She's been the heartbeat of this program.
Just let me think for a second.
She did the Olympics and two championships without an error.
- She practices, what? - Three hours every day.
She makes everyone better. Coach?
I have the benefit of being new here.
Lisa is 31.
She's 0.3 seconds slower moving towards first.
I'm tired of justifying myself because you're hung up on her as a role model.
Nobody's gonna change his mind. It's over.
- What's that? - It's your call.
Hooray! Thank you. Thank you.
At least let her know today. She'll have to redirect her life.
Everyone finds out when I post it online. No exceptions.
Because we field women athletes...
...doesn't mean we get girly when someone's time is up.
Holy crap.
I beg your pardon?
I'm sorry.
Oh, my Lord. What is to become of me?
I've lost my ability to smile at bastards.
Still got it.
Can we?
- I can't see her. Tell her I'm too busy. - How's it going?
Three, three, three!
Let's go, people!
- Faster! - Good stretch, Smalls!
- Go, baby! Attaway! - Right here!
Faster!
- Hey, whose phone? - AI right, look up.
Oh, man.
- Smalls, are you okay? - Yeah.
This better be worth it.
- You gotta watch out. - Yeah.
- Hello? - Hi.
This is George Madison.
I think you might know that Riva gave me your phone number.
No.
She thought it might be a good idea if we had dinner.
I'll call her. When did you have in mind?
No, I wasn't calling to set a time.
She didn't know that I was seeing someone.
Well, she didn't know that it had escalated a bit.
At least on my part.
It just added up for me suddenly.
So you're calling me to break up?
- You can't just walk in there. - No, I just didn't think...
George Madison.
I'm sorry. I got distracted. What was I saying?
You were saying you just didn't think.
Right, right. Thank you.
- Thank you. - Welcome.
Thank you for holding.
I just didn't think it was right not to phone you...
...once I took your number, in case you had talked and were expecting my call.
Okay. Well, it was nice of you to call, in a way, I guess.
Right.
Sorry for interrupting your day.
- Yeah. - Goodbye.
Bye.
Weirdo. I'm gonna kill Riva. Let's go.
All right, ladies, let's go!
Oh, my God.
- So you gave my number to a guy? - Yeah.
I hardly know him, but he went to business school with my brother.
So why did you give him my number?
You don't remember Wednesday night?
You said you had never dated a non-athlete.
"I should date a non-athlete, right, Riva?"
That's what you said.
Don't listen to me when I'm drinking Guinness.
It's the only time you really say stuff.
I hope that's not true.
This exercise is for next time, okay? Thank you.
George.
Didn't I say I was crashing on my book?
Yeah, you did. I'm not gonna stay.
Maybe that's better for tonight.
Look, if you're concerned about us now that we've intensified...
...we're okay. I am busy...
...so I can't demonstrate to you we're okay in the little ways...
...like paying attention to you...
...but if you could take my word for it until work lets up, that would help me.
And us.
I think I like that word better.
Us.
T... Today I...
It was nice just to see your face for a minute. It settles me down.
Great game last night, Matty. Who's your date?
You're the best pitcher.
- Can I get your autograph? - Got a pen?
- He's the cutest pitcher in baseball. - Rocking that mound!
Hold on, hold on. You guys ready? Okay.
- Here, one more over here. - Lisa!
- To the right! - The right.
- Thanks for everything. - You're awesome!
The night is so great. You look so good.
Just needed to grab you. We're here.
- Good evening, Mr. Reynolds. - Tom.
Matty, I might have to go back on what I said...
...about finally seeing your place tonight.
I just have a lot on my mind.
Okay, are you sure?
Well...
...no.
There's no pressure. It should feel right.
That's nice.
Thanks.
Why are you moving away?
I wanna give you room to think and decide.
You have all the signs of a handful.
I hope so.
You better hang on to that energy.
Wait till you try this. Blender wake you?
It's worth it. Because these things are gonna blow your mind.
Amazing sex.
Female jocks are amazing.
Thanks, but maybe could you personalize it a little?
Oh, yeah. Right, right, right. That's what I'm saying to you, Lisa.
It's like, come on, that was... That was unbelievable.
Yeah.
Are you fishing for a compliment or...?
I'm fishing for a celebration! Come on!
It was good.
Here, come on.
- It's good. - It's great.
- There you go.
- Yeah. - Good.
I have to get going. Which way is the bathroom?
- It's just right over there. - Okay.
But I'm gonna drink the rest of this...
...because it was really sweet of you to make it.
It's great.
So you know that many female athletes?
Yeah, I do.
I mean, you gotta count cheerleaders, but yeah.
Toothbrushes are in that drawer on the right there.
Oh, okay.
No.
No. You don't have to wear that dress home.
- What? - Come here.
What size? Small or extra small?
Wait, what is that?
- What? - That. Behind you.
That is repulsive. The stack.
- No. - No?
No, no. No, it's me being classy. It's me being a good host.
No. No. No.
I feel like I'm on an assembly line that's just spitting out girls.
That's just negative. That's like...
Though if you think about it, and I never did till now...
...we're all on kind of an assembly line, just going through each other's lives.
Until one day, you close the factory down...
...take one product home and use it monogamously for the rest of your life.
- My mistake, Matty. Forget it. - No, I'm not...
It's not a mistake. I'm just saying that...
If I'd given you one and hid the rest, I'd be a great guy?
- But because I was open with you... - I said, forget it!
Matty, what am I doing?
I caught myself.
Don't judge others till you check yourself.
You're lucky if it's your fault, you can correct the situation.
I'm nervous over something that's going on with me.
I'm with an attractive guy you'd be an idiot...
...to mistake for anything more than just a fun friendship.
And, yes, amazing sex.
Instead, I give that guy a hard time for just being who he is.
Totally my fault.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
- Are you apologizing? - Yeah.
If you're really apologizing, you may be my dream girl.
I heard footsteps and I'm like:
"Okay, somebody nuts is coming back to be more nuts."
And now, an apology? You may be my dream girl.
Yeah.
They said you'd be in here.
How bad is this?
The Justice Department is investigating the company for security fraud.
- Based on what? Why are they...? - They don't have to say.
They've subpoenaed everything from abroad.
- You didn't tell your father? The worst... - Of course I told him.
- No. - Yes.
He's gonna meet us in my office right now.
- Your concern is? - I don't have one.
Well, we better go.
I agree.
- Morning. - Morning, Dad.
We need the company lawyer for whatever this is? What's going on?
- You want a kiss too? - Not today.
- You haven't read this yet? - Just once.
They are investigating us...
...for misstatement of receivables to inflate earnings.
- Stock fraud. - What do you know about it?
Nothing. But I'm responsible.
What, are you being noble?
I'm telling you what recent legislation says.
If it's true and I didn't know, I should have.
Can you ask your assistant to come in? We have to respond immediately.
Annie, could you please come on in? And bring your laptop.
All these items mentioned...
...you must have checked whether we had funds before talking to the analyst.
No. Most of them came from Dad's office, so I assumed that...
...with everyone working... - You do not assume.
- Excuse me. - You do not trust anyone.
Not him, not me.
Cynicism is sanity.
Good guidelines, I'm afraid.
I assumed that with everyone working creatively on the new line...
"Creatively."
Just a second, Dad.
- Now... - Let me finish.
No! Drivel does not get to finish. Drivel gets interrupted.
Is it possible to get the...?
So shaping the corporate culture might not bring results...
You are a fucking moron!
- Too rough. - Much too rough.
- Don't talk like that in front of Annie. - Okay! Okay. I caught myself.
Now may I get back to the...
Sorry, Annie. The fucking...
Sorry again, Annie.
- Point.
I have overlooked every limitation I know you to have.
Why? Because you are my son.
And you're a good guy, as every prick with half a brain...
...who ever took advantage of you knows absolutely.
But, Gidge, there is a bottom line here...
...which is, because of your notions of trust and creativity...
...we may be inevitably forced to crawl on by some assistant U.S. Attorney.
And if this "almost made the law review" creature...
...pins me between a choice of saving you...
...or the company that I founded and you preside over...
...I may be forced to choose the company...
...even though doing so may break my life forever, which is finally my fault...
...for handing you a job where your pathetic assumptions...
...or notions of trust can cause such calamity!
Annie!
Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. Excuse me.
What? Darling, are you crying? What's wrong?
I'm fine. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
- Charles, Annie just... - Ron.
Why don't you have Annie take down everything you need, okay?
- Okay? - All right.
You should go home now and think about interviewing attorneys.
I don't know if the company will be allowed to pay.
The company will pay.
To the Justice Department:
The individual's name is on here.
All documents relating to loan applications.
All financial statements, including general ledgers, income statements...
Oh, God.
The term "document" includes, but is not limited to, all personal files...
...telephone messages, and...
Just a minute.
Hello?
George. I have been through things like this...
...and I'd like to give you some difficult advice, if you would like to hear it.
Okay.
Accept the enormity.
Give up illusions of containment. The hardest fact...
...is that, no matter what the outcome...
...it is unlikely you can ever again be the person you have been until now.
Okay, thanks. Look, can I call you later?
Any further contact between us would be inappropriate.
Good luck, George.
Is Bryant there yet? Yeah, it's George.
Look, I need to speak with him.
Yeah, well, reach him as soon as you can.
Thank you.
Hi, this is George. I've left you four messages, all urgent.
You know I underplay, so I don't understand your failure to call back.
Thank you.
Well? Tell me. You must have some reaction.
No, I have one.
I'm just not proud of it.
It's just me being analytical.
I was thinking about my work.
Let me explain the thought.
This is for us, I swear it.
We are not well-matched for this interval in your life.
Not with me against this deadline and you being investigated.
I don't want our relationship to become cannon fodder...
...for this apparition in your working life.
I will be here for you at the end.
You can count on that.
You wanna split up until I'm problem-free?
Please, I'd appreciate...
You're breaking up with...? Oh, my... You're breaking up with...?
I'm hitting the pause button.
So that we don't waste our precious energies on stuff.
No.
No. No.
Nope. No, thank you.
Tonight I'm in
A romantic mood, yeah
Let's take a shower
Shower together
I'll wash your body
You wash mine, yeah
Rub me down With some hot oils, baby
Yeah
Hello. Hello?
Hello?
- Hi, boss. - Hi.
- How are you? It's not too late... - No.
I'm fine. It's fine. Hold on just a second.
Okay.
Hey. Thanks so much for calling.
I can't sleep. I don't know what got into me this morning.
I have never taken a swat at anybody.
Well, I do know. I'm pregnant.
You're preg... You're pregnant!
Yeah. Secret's out.
You're pregnant!
I had a hunch.
That guy that picks you up sometimes, Al?
Oh, you noticed Al.
He lights up every time he sees you.
So good, huh?
He's great. He's just been out of work lately.
So we've just been marathon worrying.
So I'm not myself lately. So when your father...
Oh, don't worry about it.
So did you tell Terry about what happened to you?
I'd rather not get into that.
She bailed? You should go call...
...another girl. Distract yourself. Right?
Forward motion.
They can't stop girls from talking to you.
My God, is that it? They're directing people...
...not to talk to me?
I had to sign a confidentiality statement where I'm liable financially if I...
With this new situation... You know what?
The hell with everything! So I lose my job.
Wait, honey, I can't. "Honey." Sorry. My medical would lapse.
I've gotta care for my baby. Al still hasn't proposed...
You won't lose your job, Annie, okay? All right? Don't tell me anything.
Sorry, boss.
Thanks a lot.
You have a good night, Annie.
I am just dying for you.
That's a little extreme.
Just be nauseous for me.
Yeah. A little morning sick for me.
Not a problem.
- Hello? - Hi. Lisa. This is George.
George Madison.
I... I'm not sure how to further identify myself.
Your voice sounds a little familiar.
I made this incredibly stupid phone call to you a few days ago.
Oh, right. How you doing, George?
Would you like to have dinner?
- But aren't you? - No, I am not.
- You see... - You don't have to explain.
I'm sort of seeing somebody, but we can have a meal.
- When? - Anytime.
Tomorrow's clear.
- Triplo Due? - I'll meet you there.
- It's Triple Two in English. - It's gotta be early, 6:00. I'm in training.
Okay. So it's a d... It's a date.
- Okay. - All right.
- I have made a date. - Bye.
Good night.
Come on, come on.
Georgie. George.
- Let's go inside. - I have a date.
Date? Son, we are in a rapidly evolving situation here.
I must tell you, I was afraid to use the telephone.
Because?
No. No, no. Don't tell me.
I'm not ready to take on anything that I can't handle.
No, you know what? I know exactly how to handle this.
I'll treat myself like a company in trouble.
What I think is you are just indulging in a lot of neuroses.
You take on too much, it becomes about how much...
...instead of how well you handle it. That applies now.
- Stand still! - No.
You do not have the luxury of not hearing this.
Are you making me literally run from bad news?
The chickenshit board has dec...
I gotta go. I have a date.
What happened to you was horrific.
- Stop acting tough. - It's the worst move!
Look at the time.
Hey, everybody, I have to leave. I have a date.
- What? - Now, Lise?
- Yeah. - Lisa?
Nobody's buying this.
- We should protest! - We should.
Smalls, what do you want us to do?
- Lisa. - Okay. There is one thing.
When I come to visit you at training camp when you're getting ready...
...just don't feel funny talking to me.
Okay? Don't feel sad for me.
Because my biggest fear is that you won't be yourselves around me.
I've seen that, and if that happened, it would just make me feel like l...
Like I didn't know you anymore.
And I want to.
I need to.
Just say, "Okay, Lisa."
Okay, Lisa.
God. L...
I gotta go. I gotta go. He's waiting for me.
- I love you. - Love you. Love you.
- Love you too. - Go, Lise.
- Lise!
- Hi. - Name, please.
I'm meeting George...
- Madison? - I'm not sure. I forget.
Could that be him over there?
I'll bet that is him.
That's the sort of day I'm having.
You don't have to take me. Thank you, though.
George?
Are you George?
I'm Lisa.
- Very good of you to join me. - Yeah.
How you doing?
How are you doing?
I'm great.
- Yeah? - Yep.
Well, treasure it.
You okay?
No. I'm sorry, I'm not even aware that...
I have to apologize. This might not be the best first impression.
I... I had...
...an unusual 24 hours.
Okay. Well, the bad days make the good ones better.
So don't worry about it.
Is this an Italian restaurant?
Yes, it's a very good one.
Oh, yeah, it looks good.
- Let's get a drink. - None for me.
You know what? You're right. Yeah. I shouldn't drink.
- Don't let me stop you. - No, no, no.
Believe me, drinking too much two nights in a row could be a mistake.
I haven't had anything since lunch yesterday, so I'm starving.
You don't drink at all?
- I follow my father's rule on drinking. - Which is?
Never drink to feel better. Only drink to feel even better.
That's fantastic.
Yep. It's a good one.
That's great. But sometimes I think that...
...one drink can give you a little better perspective.
Not for me. I guess it depends on the person.
Look, if you wanna have a drink, have a drink. Keeping talking about it...
I don't need permission to drink. If I want a drink, I'll order one.
Jesus! Do you know I don't know you?
I'm sorry. I'm not good today.
Maybe I should say what's going on. I never talk about myself. I should.
No! Don't do that.
George, this is what I'm suggesting. That we eat.
And that we don't work at this conversation.
- Let's just cut ourselves a break... - Yes.
...and give ourselves permission to be quiet.
For the whole dinner. Completely quiet.
Can I talk to the waiter?
As long as you don't tell him about your day.
I mean, that...
That was just what I needed.
You take care of yourself.
I'm just leaving my place to go to dinner.
- Good evening, Mr. Madison. Taxi? - Yes, thank you, Tom.
Okay, Dad, I'm ready. What happened?
What if I come by later? The phone isn't...
Just tell me. I'd rather use the rest of the night processing the information.
I'm sorry, this is private. There's still some privacy left.
The board is refusing to pay...
...your legal bills. Now... - Hey.
I think I met a great girl.
Oh, good. There is a God.
The girls needed to tell you how they felt.
It's something, isn't it?
Last time I saw that was when a kid died in high school...
...and they left this stuff by the road.
How about straight talk?
I am very sensitive to what you're going through.
You know what you need most right now?
- Yes. - What?
Insensitivity.
Yeah?
- Who is it? - It's Lisa.
Could you narrow it down?
I'm not kidding right now.
A good Lisa. Come here. Get in.
- You're alone, right? - Yeah.
I was just working up the night.
Do you want me to be here?
- Yes, I do. - Okay.
Then this is what I need.
If in the middle of the night I start crying or...
...shaking or acting enormously upset, I don't want you to ask what's wrong.
I want you to just ignore it. Is that okay with you?
- Actually, that's my preference. - Okay, good.
Have a seat. My game's coming up.
Matty Reynolds gets him. The Nationals win.
- Good mechanics. - Yeah.
Okay. Let's go, I got it.
Can you afford me?
The firm is refusing to pay my legal bills, but my father is willing to help.
You can't take money from him, not with his position on the board.
What would your retainer be?
Three hundred thousand, and another three in escrow in case it goes to trial.
- I suppose I could sell... - Everything you can.
Okay.
- Sit down. - I don't wanna lie down.
- I said, "Sit down." - I don't think you did.
Yes, I did. I never ask someone to lie down on a first visit.
- Sorry. - Okay.
So...
...why are you here?
I have a month left on my insurance and they pay up to six visits.
I meant, is there a difficulty?
Well...
I'm sorry. I'm gonna go because this is just stupid.
Not that this is stupid. But I mean...
Thank you for your time. Just for me, you know. I mean, not this.
- But thank you for understanding. - All right.
- Okay. - Okay.
You know, can I ask you just one stupid question?
No such thing.
Because I'm leaving and I'm not gonna do this again.
I was wondering if there's one general thing you've found over the years...
...to be generally true...
...in a general way that would help anyone...
...with any situation?
That's a great question.
Yes.
I'd say, figure out what you want and learn how to ask for it.
Okay.
Those are both really hard.
Yes, but you came here, which was hard for you.
And you're leaving right away, also hard.
So you're tougher than you think you are right now.
Thanks.
I appreciate that.
- Good luck. - Okay.
- I can see why people do this. - Thanks.
I'm sorry. I thought some of them were bringing their wives.
That usually changes the behavior considerably.
The rookie who lives here had this, maybe the best barbecue anywhere...
...flown in from Houston.
He bought a first-class seat so his friend could fly it in.
Wait till you taste it. Try the sauce first. That's how you judge.
- This place nails it. And you know... - No hard feelings.
You can stay, I just... I can't do this right now.
There's Christian athletes inside. We'll eat with them.
Do you ever wonder what's going on in my life? Because you never ask.
I thought I wasn't supposed to. Is that just at night?
This is... You know what? What I think I mean is...
...I should tell you what's going on with me.
I got...
Oh, God.
I got cut.
Sorry.
Let's have some barbecue and we'll talk about it. That's...
I don't wanna eat now.
I can't.
You don't wanna eat anything?
I just can't.
Well...
Okay.
I'll go with you.
Okay.
So I'm gonna go to grad school at night.
I'll have to work a few jobs, but I've got the private coaching thing...
...and I lined up this part-time retail thing.
- That's great. - That's good. I got that covered.
I just have this problem with my attitude.
It's like I have to get to the place where I appreciate what the game gave me.
And accept and even embrace the obvious...
...that the time comes for every athlete when they...
It's never gonna come for me.
You know what? Maybe we shouldn't talk.
Maybe we should watch TV or something.
No, no, no. Hold on, come here.
I hear everything you're saying.
Come sit over here. I'm gonna set you down and make you something to eat.
We get a little food in your stomach, we'll both think better.
You like inspirational stories?
Okay, I got one for you.
I knew a really good player once, and the coach cut him.
And the guy just felt... He felt impotent.
Now you're probably feeling whatever the female version of that word is.
It's the same word.
Don't let what's going on with you make you give me a hard time.
Because that's not productive.
I'm not. It's the same word for women.
"Impotent"?
Okay. Tie goes to the pretty one.
Same word. He was feeling impotent, just like you may be feeling.
I don't think that's how I feel...
Can I finish my thought?
Maybe it'll help, maybe it won't, but I'm trying.
I'm sorry.
- That's all right. - Go ahead.
Okay. So his girlfriend had a cat and he started to save the cat's shit...
- A little trust. - Okay.
He started to save all the cat's shit, and every few days or so...
...he'd take a little amount and wrap it in a different package, like a gift...
...or a magazine roll or something you order online.
Every few days for eight months...
...he would send these cat turds to the guy who cut him.
Is that it?
Yeah, that's it. It's a great story.
Did you understand it was the coach he sent it to?
To the guy who cut him? He felt impotent, and then he...
File it away. It worked for this guy.
No, so he stopped when his anger went away...
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, the cat died.
Oh, God.
There, a smile.
That's horrible. I didn't know the cat was gonna die.
You feel better.
Great. I hated seeing you touch bottom.
That was sweet.
Yeah, you're right.
It's okay.
- You are amazing. - You were great.
- It takes two, you know? - At least.
Creep.
Oh, boy.
You clap to bring on the lights the minute we finish?
Why? What's the matter?
Just clapping your hands and those dumb lights makes me feel like...
Wait, wait, let me guess. I think I can get it.
Like I'm not thinking about you.
Look who got it.
- Yeah, look who read your mind. - God.
Yeah. What should I do?
God. Turn them off!
You wanna do it? Come on. Oh, it's fun.
Grow up.
No.
It was kind of fun, wasn't it?
I'm gonna teach you how to have fun.
- You didn't see that? - What?
Let me ask you something. How do you know when you're in love?
- Intriguing. - Ryan. Get loose.
Well...
- What? - I got a way.
Whenever this one thing happens, I know I'm done.
It's personal. I don't want anyone making fun of me.
No, no one's... Go!
I'm in love with somebody when I wear a condom with the other girls.
Holy shit, I'm in love.
Hello?
You up for a crazy idea?
Yes.
Maybe it'd be fun if you kind of move in with me.
Hello? Are you there?
Barely.
- Are you serious? - I know.
I told you it was crazy.
Can you give me a minute to form a thought?
- Yeah, yeah. Take your time. - Okay. Thanks.
Okay, I'll call you back.
That was quick.
I know, but, Lisa, listen. Today I caught myself...
Thanks, Bobby.
Today I caught myself wishing you were in the bullpen with me.
Literally having a daydream. I mean, that's serious.
Li... Are you there?
Hello? What are you doing?
I think I'm thinking.
Don't! You shouldn't have to think about a great idea.
You said this was a crazy idea.
I know, I think it's both. I think part of the greatness is how crazy it is.
What first popped into your mind?
That I don't know what to say and it makes me feel stupid.
Second thing.
That I've never lived with anyone before.
Great. No one's had a chance to ruin you.
Have you ever lived with anybody?
With me you get into what does "living together" mean...
...and duration is a factor.
But listen, is...? Do you think...
...this is something? Do you wanna do this?
- Hello? - I honestly...
- Yeah? - I don't know how to figure this out.
Is there tingling? Do you have goose bumps?
Maybe I need to work my voice a little bit until you get them.
I think I just got them.
What?
- I think I just got them. - Yeah.
I really like you, Matty.
Okay.
- Good phone call. - Good phone call.
- Right? Yeah. - Thank you.
This is such a mistake.
- Overstepping alert. - You sublet your apartment.
You told me don't do anything halfway unless you're willing to be half happy.
Don't make important life decisions when you are mush. It's too dangerous.
Fight low self-esteem, don't give it the wheel.
I am packed here. I am doing this.
So back off, or do what you always do for me, pull out some damn positives.
I'm sorry, honey.
Positives.
Hell, the guy has a 94-mile-an-hour fastball.
He makes 14 million a year. Go get him.
- Got your bag? I cleared some space. - Yeah, I just...
- Yeah, come on in. - Okay.
Okay, I can get rid of both of these things right here.
I'll talk to the guys downstairs. They have storage space.
It's okay.
We'll make it work.
Hey, boss, it's me.
- Annie. - Hi. Did you call that girl?
No. You don't have to bring me food. It's enough that you found this place.
That was selfish. You dress up my neighborhood. Love your window?
It's great.
This is...
Cooking relaxes me when I can't sleep. So why not just call her?
Honestly? Because my first impression wasn't great.
I'd rather be more myself when I see her next.
What if someone beats you to her?
Optimism is sanity for me right now.
Please, sit down. Make yourself comfortable.
Relax.
Look.
I'm in a funny position...
...but I know stuff about what happened at work.
I can't tell you because of that thing I signed...
...but if you start guessing, I can't help it if this face is an open book. Look!
Stop. You'd get in trouble, and just listening could be wrongdoing for me.
This information is killing me!
It's like I know someone is gonna shoot you and I can't scream:
"Watch out! That man's gonna blow your frigging head off!"
Please play this game with me, or I'll just tell you!
- No! - For God's sake, let me unburden!
Stop! Stop! Annie, sit down, please. Sit down.
Careful. You have to understand what this is like for me right now.
Picture a very angry ocean. A storm. And I'm on this little tiny boat.
And miraculously, this boat is still afloat.
And that boat is that I haven't done anything wrong.
Like letting you say something you're legally constrained from revealing.
Not doing anything wrong is what's keeping me afloat. All right?
If I lose that, I'm gone.
Don't rock the boat.
- I know about the boat. - Stop!
- It's a terrible boat! Get out of the boat! - Respect me on this!
For what it's worth, it doesn't matter.
I think I've guessed the same stuff you know.
I think I know what you do.
Nope.
You couldn't function if you knew what I'm talking about.
Oh, I think I could.
I think I am.
- Leave it. - What if I give you a hint?
No, don't! Don't make me leave my own apartment. Please.
Okay. Eat something.
Thank you.
The lasagna looks amazing, by the way.
- Hello, Dad. - Are you coming to my place?
- Almost there. - Good.
I have some disturbing news.
- What? - I'll wait till you get here.
Tell me. It'd be nice to get one piece of bad news...
...without someone studying me to see how I take it.
Anger can be useful. Watch out for the bitterness.
What's the news, Dad?
There are strong indications that they are going to indict you.
I have canceled everything I've got...
...and I am dedicating myself completely to this.
George?
Oh, God, please don't kid me.
How are you?
Really...
- Good to see you. - Yeah.
That's so funny.
Thanks.
- You didn't have to do that. - Yeah, I did.
So do you live in this building?
Did you leave?
Are you still here?
Yeah. Absolutely.
- Here I am. - Okay.
Sorry I'm not more hospitable. I'm in a hurry.
Can I go first? I want to explain why I haven't called.
I don't understand.
I think I've made a bad assumption that we've been on the same wavelength.
That didn't come out right at all. I didn't mean...
I didn't quite mean to say that either.
You ever wanna delete every sentence you say, even as you say them?
- No. - No?
You're funny. You know, I'm really glad I ran into you.
I bit your head off at dinner.
I have this thing about rudeness, so I'm glad I could say I'm sorry.
- No... - Lisa!
Yeah! I'm in the kitchen!
Hey, babe.
George, this is my boyfriend, Matty.
Nice to meet you.
- Who is he? - You didn't even say hello.
I think you should check with me before inviting some guy over...
...so I'm a little too pissed off to just say hello.
Can I talk to you?
- Why would I check with you? - Want me to state the obvious?
I have to check with you before inviting someone up who carried our groceries?
I didn't know about the groceries. Maybe that changes things.
I think it does.
- Good talk. - Wait. No.
What's this obvious thing I'm missing?
Let's forget it. Otherwise, you want me to put my foot in the trap? Okay.
There's no trap. But let's show up here. What am I missing?
Okay. That this is my place.
This is my place.
Oh, boy.
So long, Matty.
