Hey.
hey.
what, should I
knock first?
no, I'm--I'm sorry, Josh.
I'm just working here.
essay for the writing
seminar, ok?
mine's done.
so good,
so I hate you.
it stinks,
but it's done.
you need a third eye?
I'm a good critic.
no, thank you. I don't like
criticism this early on.
whose nuts are those?
oh, well, they're Perry's.
Perry's? Perry marks?
oh, so she's become what,
your personal writing coach?
no, she just took interest
in my writing,
that's all, so--
that's ok.
and, actually,
if I may be so bold,
I'd much rather take you
to dinner than read
your essay anyway.
I do have this right,
right?
I mean, you and that
ned guy are over.
right. Yeah, r-right.
but that--that's kinda
why I've been
in this monkish
hibernation mode.
well, that's ok.
it's nothing personal,
I just--
people--i don't feel like
being around...People.
oh, hey, there's Perry.
hey. Hey.
I am so glad to see you.
I rewrote the opening
like you told me,
and it's so much better.
would you read it again?
again? I have my own
deadline, you know.
I do write for a living.
hi, Josh.
Ms. marks.
Well, maybe
I can do something
for you in exchange,
you know, grade papers
or do your laundry.
Are you kidding?
you're kidding me.
this is it.
this is my room.
pretty cool, huh?
where are
your roommates?
oh, they both
have girlfriends,
so they hardly
ever sleep here.
wow, was that concert hall
hot, or what?
aren't you hot?
oh, I wanna see
your snake.
you were gonna
show me your snake.
right. Noah. Noah the boa.
he's right here.
mom's way of making up
for my allergies.
Noah, this is Claudia.
did you know that rattlesnakes
can have sex
for, like, 24 hours straight?
they have 2 penises
called hemipenises--
oh, no! Um...
what?
I forgot
to call Bailey.
you know what?
I'll just--
I'll use the phone
in the kitchen.
wait. You can just
use this one.
I'm gonna get some water.
Bailey. Bailey, uh, yeah.
what do you mean I have
to come home right now?
you said that I could
stay out late tonight.
but you--you
actually want me
to come home right now?
we're just gonna have
to talk about this
when I come home now.
that, uh...
that was Bailey.
I have to go.
right this minute?
yeah. He was--he was
very specific,
but I'll see you
tomorrow, ok?
ok.
oh. Here you go.
thanks.

That's good, claud.
that's really great.
thank you very much
for your consideration.
it's midnight.
no, now it's 12:20.
it's funny
how time passes
when you're waiting for
people in this house.
and I have to be
at the fish market
in, let's see, 5 hours.
I told you I was going
to that concert
in the mission.
yeah, and the box office
said it got out at 9:00.
I was worried, ok?
well, you wouldn't
have worried if you'd
just gone to sleep.
I wouldn't have been up
if I hadn't been worried.
Charlie doesn't
wait up for me.
he trusts me to come home
when I want to.
well, I'm not Charlie, ok?
and if you say that
you're coming home at 9:00
and you don't
get home till 12:00,
then how am I supposed
to trust you?
you have to hold up
your end of the bargain.
there is no bargain.
you know, you just need
to mind your own business.
this is my business.
you are my business, ok?
and it is not right
with our--with our past
to make each other worry
at night.
don't throw mom
and dad into this.
ok, you know what?
I'll make this easier
for you.
you're grounded, ok?
until I say you're
not, ok?
Hey.
hi.
if you don't change out
of those pajamas,
I'm not gonna make it
to work today.
you're up early.
I didn't even hear you leave.
I know. I popped outta bed
at, like, 5:00 this morning
with this feeling I haven't
had since...I don't know...
spring little league.
I mean, I was strutting
down market street,
smiling at people,
waiting happily
in the longest line ever
to get your favorite
vanilla whatever that is.
ooh, thank you.
and...these.
oh. Oh, I love yellow roses.
and look what else.
2 bedrooms
in lower haight
for 900 bucks.
900 bucks.
wow, that's amazing.
I know.
and it's the owner
who's renting,
so it's gonna go
in, like, a second.
Charlie, if--if this apartment
has leaky pipes
or--or olive green wallpaper,
or if it's not right for Diana,
please, please, please don't
think you have to take it.
thank you, Kirsten,
but I asked if we could
crash here for one night,
and it's been 7.
how many times do I have
to tell you that I don't mind?
hello?
yes, yes. I'm calling
about the apartment.
ok, Sarah,
here's the guest list.
Patrick outterman,
the food critic
from the tribune,
the head of the tourist
commission.
tourist commission?
yeah.
he puts us
in the visitor's guide,
and we get all this
out-of-town business.
so you think if you wine
and dine these guys--
think? I know, I know.
you invite them over
to your home,
and they think
they're your friends,
and they wanna
help you out.
harvest did this last year,
and--what's all this?
oh, careful.
it's the proof
for my banner--
students against
sweatshops campaign.
students against...
yeah. I told you
about it.
I'm on the committee.
you know what, Sarah?
this is...Not good.
no, it's terrible.
I mean, these schools
are getting t-shirts--
no, no. I mean it's not good
that you do this
and that I don't even know
about it.
well, I'm sure there's
stuff that you do
that I don't know about,
you know, like
restaurant stuff.
it's ok.
is it, though?
'cause I don't know.
I feel like...We're not
crossing paths enough.
I mean, we live together,
and sometimes I still
feel like I miss you.
well, you're welcome
to come to one
of our meetings.
really?
well, I would love
to do that, I would.
and you could--you--hey!
what if you did
this dinner with me?
hosted it with me?
host it?
yeah.
I don't think
I'd know what to do.
oh, come on.
there's nothing to it.
you did Claudia's
birthday party.
Bailey, that was, like,
kids, nachos, music.
all you would have to do is--
is be bright and charming
and make people feel good.
come on, who are we kidding?
it's you we're talking
about here.
Bailey.
really.
and then afterwards--
afterwards,
when it's all over,
we'll kick our feet up,
and I will feed you
what's left of the oysters
and the caviar
and the chocolate poached pears
with real whipped cream...
and we'll make a night
of it.
that part sounds good.
Julia.
hi. Uh, sorry. I just--
I brought you these
Mexican wedding cookies
from a bakery in palo alto
just to thank you
for all your help.
thanks.
uh...come in,
only I've gotta be
at the Dean's
in 5 minutes.
he's having some dusty
literati gathering.
I can already taste
the cucumber sandwiches.
wow. That--that
sounds glamorous.
well, have a good time.
and, by the way, thank you
for that story you gave me.
oh. Oh, yeah.
what do you think?
it was good.
good?
uh, wait a second.
what do you mean, good?
really good. The ending was--
especially the ending.
meaning except
for the ending,
the rest was not good.
god, no, no.
no, come on.
I want your opinion.
where does the story
not work?
my opinion? Perry,
I'm the student.
you're the published--
don't you have to go?
the Dean can wait.
ok, well, if you're asking,
I thought the main
character, Sylvia,
was a--a bit of a--a snooze.
interesting word.
well, no, just that
she lacked a certain--
she wasn't proactive.
that--that was it.
you know what?
i--forget it.
I do have to be
at the Dean's.
come on.
you're coming with me.
to the literati?
yeah.
you can tell me how
to make her not
so snoozey,
if you're so
damned smart.
all right, I talked
to Princeton,
and they said that
the sit-in really
made the difference.
so if we get the artwork
for the fliers
by next year--
my printer broke down.
stop it, you two.
power of example,
always.
now, Bob, when can you
get us the artwork?
You know what?
if it's on disk,
he can just use
my printer.
but you're busy
with the banners.
I know. But I can do it
if he comes by.
so we get the fliers
out by tomorrow,
rally the troops up
by Saturday night?
wait a second.
I thought we said Sunday.
but the campus is
deserted on Sunday.
if we're gonna protest,
it would help if somebody
were around to see it.
yeah, I know,
but i--i can't be there
if it's on Saturday.
you can't. Why not?
well, because I promised
my boyfriend
that I would do
this thing with him.
what thing?
a dinner party.
it's really important
to him.
what, what?
why are you all looking
at me like that?
they're your priorities.
yeah, I know,
but I promised him.
you know what? I'm still
the head of the artwork
committee, ok?
so I will still
do the banner.
ok, fine.
l&k apparel has
to be written
in black
with a big red line
through it.
l&k apparel.
great.
naturally, this is
very flattering, but--
Kirsten, your dissertation
was one of the studies
laying the groundwork
for this kind of project.
we used your salivary
cortisol study.
you did?
of course.
that was excellent work.
god! This is...
this is...I--i don't
know what to say.
full funding,
research facilities,
2 years of room
and board.
what about--i mean, we both
know about the plagiarism.
i--i--i don't understand
how I was approved.
we were convinced
by your statement.
I wouldn't be here making
this offer otherwise.
the university
of Chicago, though.
near your family.
I know, I know.
but...
what?
but what?
I appreciate the offer, I do.
but I'm--I'm not in the position
to take it at this time.
look, um...
I'm gonna leave
this material with you.
don't decide
until you read it, ok?
You remember
the routine, Charlie?
very, very still.
yeah, I remember.
(Diana crying)
you know what she likes?
she likes that song...
um, how's it go?
♪ the wheels on the bus
go round and round ♪
♪ round and round ♪
♪ the wheels on the bus
go round and round ♪
♪ early in the morning ♪
♪ the wheels on the bus
go round and round ♪
♪ round and round ♪
ok, Charlie,
don't move your lips.
It's just this living
together thing.
what's wrong with it?
2 weeks ago she told me
how psyched she was
to have her own place
and be on her own.
I don't get it.
I would think
you'd wanna be there.
look. The single
biggest mistake
in my life
was losing her.
and then I spend 2 years
trying not to think
of us together,
and all of a sudden
I get her back.
I mean, do you realize
how lucky I feel?
I feel like
I won the lotto.
so I just--i just wanna
take it really slow,
be really careful,
just like any couple
starting out.
and living together,
it's just--it's too fast.
it's just way too risky.
do you love her?
of course I do.
is she having
any doubts?
no.
well, then, how can it
be too risky,
jumping into a relationship
that you both want?
Ok, we're done.
done? I just wanna do
one more thing.
we've put in 10 hours.
no, wait.
but, look. I--i don't
have another inch.
I'm shrinking.
just this one passage.
I am restraining myself
from doing bodily injury
to you, Julia.
that is a sign to stop.
(giggles)
what's that throbbing?
hey, let's go
across the street
and have a drink
at that party.
no way. That frat house has
a urine trough in the basement.
oh, come on. I never got
to do this in school.
I was always on book
tours or lecturing.
poor you. I really
feel for the trauma
of your book deals.
oh, and you'd rather
sit there and obsess
about a story than...
you're having about as
much of a college life
as I did, aren't you?
'cause I don't wanna go
to an 8-keg frat party?
I guess so.
oh, come on, Julia.
don't be an idiot.
here you are in fully
equipped buildings.
no light bulbs to buy,
no bills to pay,
fully furnished.
ok, so there's this hideous
golden polyurethane oak,
but, still, for 4 years,
you're 5 feet away
from libraries,
concerts, parties.
you don't understand
the opportunity
you have, do you?
look, I took you to one
of my parties,
now I want you
to take me to one
of yours.
come on.
I showed you mine,
so you have
to show me yours.
ah, it's just a pretty
regular bedroom,
you know, a desk and closet.
pretty nice bed.
so, when did you say
your brothers were
getting home?
um...owen's here now,
and Bailey's closing
the restaurant.
so, then, um...
we can be alone.
(doorbell ringing)
how strange.
I wonder who that is?
you're just in time.
Amanda, what are you
doing here?
you said to come by.
I did? Oh, ok.
um, like, hello. Hi.
what are you--
you guys--um, Amanda...
I said to bring
a couple of people.
you said to bring
people, Claudia.
you didn't actually
say how many.
Cody?
this is kind of a bummer,
you know?
I'm not really
in the mood for a little
high school party, so...
you're not--you're not
gonna leave, are you?
I really just wanted
to be alone with you tonight.
Cody...
you guys, could you just--
could you watch...
The fish, see,
they're in the beer,
and once you swallow
them,
and the challenge is
to spew 'em back up
before they're dead.
I'm not drinking fish.
did, uh,
did it hurt?
huh?
when you fell...
from heaven?
get off my wrist.
my name's mutant.
what's yours?
get off my wrist.
just tell me
your name first.
I said get off me!
let go, man.
let go of her!
why? I like her.
are you ok?
no, that hurts.
where did he hurt you?
are you ok?
did he hurt
your wrist?
what a pig.
what a drunken, drooling
knuckle-dragging
piece of primordial slime.
he's almost as disgusting
when he's sober if you--
it's not funny, Josh.
none of this is
remotely funny.
I know. I'm sorry.
but thank you for coming
to the rescue.
that was really nice.
Perry, can we go?
this is exactly why
I didn't want to come.
yeah, sure, now that
I've had a drink.
so I guess I'll
see you in class?
can we go get some coffee,
just the two of us?
yeah.
What the--
who are these...
Oh, no.
Claudia?
Oh, god, don't be sick.
don't be sick.
calm. Calm stomach.
let her go. She's 16.
she's 16.
Claudia?
Bailey?
thank god.
what is this? What, is this
your way of punishing me back,
having the party come to you?
it's not my fault,
Bailey.
what are these,
Cody's friends?
no, he left.
he had nothing
to do with this.
so then you invited
these people over?
I invited a few of them.
it's for a good reason,
I swear it, Bailey.
there are 50 drunk teenagers
trashing all the stuff
for my party,
so tell me, Claudia,
tell me, please.
I can't.
Congratulations.
I, uh, I know I
shouldn't have read it,
but you left it wide open,
and I couldn't help it.
left what?
the offer.
I read the offer.
it's your dissertation,
isn't it?
yeah.
yeah. But, uh,
I turned it down.
you turned it down?
yeah, of course.
please don't tell me...
tell you what?
it's not because
it's Chicago, right?
it's not because
of me, I hope.
why? What would be wrong
with that?
because we can commute.
I mean, we can fly
back and forth
and--and I have
next summer off.
wait a minute.
just a second.
3 weeks ago,
when we were friends,
you said not
to go to Africa.
Africa is 9,000
miles away, Kirsten.
Chicago is 3 hours,
and this is the best
thing that's happened
to you since--
who are you
to decide that?
well, correct me
if I'm wrong,
but in the not too
distant past,
you had worked
4 years undergrad
and 3 years
into a ph.D. For this,
and I'm the reason that
that went to waste,
and I'm not gonna make
that mistake again.
what mistake? Wh-what
mistake did you make?
if I hadn't have let
my stupid, stupid
fear get in the way
on our wedding day,
you would have never
gotten depressed,
and you would have
finished your degree.
is that what you think
of that?
do you blame yourself?
of course I do.
it's my fault, Kirsten.
and you giving up
something great
like this
is exactly what I don't
want to have happen.
it's--it's too much
to ask,
and I'm not gonna
let you do it.
I won't let you give
this up for me.
What I want to know is why
I'm, like, this walking target
for drooling jerks.
I mean, he could
have grabbed you,
and he didn't,
and you know why?
because you, like, exude
"don't mess with me."
oh, give me a break.
no, you do.
you're so self-sufficient,
even in your work.
I, on the other hand,
have a sign on my back
that says, "come torture me.
make my life miserable."
oh, don't be so insulting.
I am tortured, too.
are not. You're like this
together, competent
literary monolith.
I am plenty tortured.
the reason I don't
seem tortured
is because I have no life
outside of the convent.
I'm a literary nun.
I work, work, work
so I don't have
to contend
with the physiological
reality
of not having been laid
in a year.
ouch.
so I don't have to deal
with the issues of love
and rejection, rebound,
except when it comes
to my own work
being published.
can I see these?
you have, like,
the best jewelry.
what stone is this?
citrine.
hmm.
and this one?
tanzanite.
I guess I should get
these printed up.
(Knock knock)
hey.
um, listen,
I'm late for a jam session
at Keith's, so...
I just wanted to talk
to you about last night.
why I invited
those people over.
(zipping case)
I don't know
if I'm ready
to be alone in bedrooms
with you.
what do you mean?
ok. It's like this novel
I read, right--
on the highway,
a romantic fright tale.
it's about this girl
on Cape Cod who
dates this guy,
and he goes nuts.
he locks her
in his trunk,
and he drives her around
in the countryside
for, like, 2 weeks.
but she's really smart,
you know,
'cause she writes, like,
"help" in the rest room,
you know,
mirrors, and--
and...oh,
what's my point?
what, are you afraid
I'm gonna attack you
or something?
rip your clothes off
and force you to do stuff?
not exactly.
it's just...
we've never done
this stuff before.
is that what you
think about me?
'cause that...
that hurts my feelings,
Claudia.
So I told my wife
she was a no-roll,
and I'd have to make a chart
with her tip weight.
um...
I don't--
I don't get it.
uh...meat packers have
these yield codes
for sirloin,
and they're based on
the fat marbling.
so he's saying that
his wife has...
maybe gained
a little weight.
huh.
well, um...
you know what,
I should probably
just go check on
the hors d'oeuvres.
waitress.
could you, please?
just a splash.
Sarah.
hey, um, bauman's
got this joke
he wants
everybody to hear.
will you
come back in?
Bailey, do I have to?
I don't get
any of his jokes,
and I don't know anything
about meat packaging
and stock trends
and zoning permits.
Sarah, you are
doing so great.
everybody in there
loves you, ok? So...
so come back in.
will you?
come on.
(sigh)
Laundry sucks, huh?
I was going through and
checking the pockets.
and you know your jeans,
those...khaki jeans?
yeah?
you left this
in the pocket, Charlie,
this receipt
from the hospital
from tests this week.
what tests?
why didn't you tell me
that you were
taking tests?
see, this is what
I'm talking about.
this is exactly what
I didn't want
to have happen.
what? 'Cause you
didn't want me
to see this, right?
why, Charlie?
are you sick again?
I mean, why--why are
you holding out on me?
they are standard tests
that I have to do
twice a year
for the next 6 years.
so you're not sick?
I feel fine.
I haven't gotten
the results back yet,
but I'm sure I'm fine.
well...well, are you--
aren't you even a little
bit scared, though?
a little it, yeah,
but that doesn't mean
you should be, too.
but that's not your
decision to make.
maybe I want to be
scared with you.
it's my choice.
if I want--
listen. I'm just trying
to protect you, Kirsten.
well, I don't wanna
be protected.
I just wanna be allowed
to love you.
and if that means
being scared with you
or being sick with you
or--or turning down
that job for you...
I thought we agreed--
no.
you cannot dictate
how much or how little
I can love you,
or otherwise we might
as well just end it
right here, ok?
ok.
(sigh)
(crying)
ok.
hey.
listen...
I hear what
you're saying.
so, um...
will you please come
to the hospital
with me tomorrow?
yeah.
What you do
is you wall off
social security,
insulate us
from the democrats.
I'm sorry. I need
to borrow her
for 2 seconds, ok?
I know.
hey, this guy over here
says he's gonna make us
hats for salinger's
with the logo on them.
and since you're the one
with the taste,
you pick out the color.
Mr. Briggs,
this is Sarah.
Sarah, Mr. Briggs.
pleasure to meet you.
Mr. Briggs makes
those, uh...
those sneakers
that Claudia has.
you know, the ones
with the really
thick shoelaces?
the ones...That I
made her take back?
um...no.
no. That must have been
a different pair.
no. The...The pink ones.
the l&Ks.
we thought we'd
make some caps
for salinger's.
well, we don't want caps
from l&Ks.
Sarah?
Bailey, this company,
they exploit
factory workers.
Sarah--
no.
for every cap
that costs 20 bucks,
8 cents
goes to the worker.
do you know
that they have 6-year-olds
and elderly people
working overtime?
all so that they can give
money to rich Americans
who make hundreds of
thousands of dollars a year.
I'm sorry,
but I cannot stand here
and smile and laugh
and pretend that that's ok.
So, here's the deal
about my story.
I felt that, uh,
your input
was ultimately
really helpful.
really?
yeah. I mean, it was
really brave of you
to keep bugging me.
and so, I guess
by way of thanks,
I spoke to an editor
friend of mine,
and I told him
about your essay.
mine?
and I read him
a few paragraphs,
and he said
he's interested.
interested in--
in what?
in publishing it?
well, maybe.
you know, who knows?
this is amazing.
so, um...I guess I should
mail yours, too.
yes. God, yes.
I can't believe
you did this for me.
well, you know,
somebody gave me
my first break.
this is so...
thank you so much.
P-Perry, wait.
you know there are no
guarantees, right?
it still has to go
to the editor above him.
If you didn't want
to do this tonight,
you should've said no.
I didn't know
I was going to have
to act all fake.
this was business, Sarah.
this was for business.
yeah, well, I wasn't
gonna just stand there
and not say anything
because we wanted
something from him.
but he was our guest.
he didn't come here
to get attacked.
I'm not gonna apologize
for what I said.
no. It's not
what you said.
it's how you said it
and when you said it
and the fact
that you said it
without considering
how it affected me at all.
I'm gonna go get
that wine stain
on the couch.
thanks for sticking
around last night.
I was wiping beer
off the floor till 3:00.
I'm sorry.
I'll finish up
for you.
so, what's the deal,
claud?
why did you have
that party last night?
you're gonna think
I'm crazy.
I'm scared...
to be alone with Cody.
why?
why? What's that
all about?
we start to fool
around, and...
I just get
all wigged out.
I don't know what
he expects from me.
well, have you tried
to talk to him about it?
I tried to,
but I don't know how.
and like some moron,
I launch into
some stupid story
about highway kidnap,
comparing myself to
the girl in the trunk.
you didn't.
I did.
look...
Claudia,
whatever you're feeling,
you should just tell him
straight up.
but I'm scared to.
I mean, I tell him
to slow down,
and he thinks that
I don't like him
anymore.
doesn't matter.
doesn't matter 'cause you,
you're your own person.
you weren't just
put on this planet
to serve his needs.
don't be afraid
to talk to him.
just be
up front and clear
and just be
completely honest
at all times.
and how he responds,
well, that's his problem.
in Josh's first draft,
I felt that his characters
lacked a certain clarity
of intention.
I didn't know
why the characters
were so filled with fear.
but in his second draft,
he really got into that loss,
a very poignant sense
of loss.
and after the war,
they buried their brothers
on foreign soil
and then left them behind.
I don't...
I'm not really helping
very much.
Ok.
ok.
So do you understand
what I'm saying?
I mean, I'm trying
to be clear.
i--i think I do.
you're saying that
you're just trying
to create boundaries
as you come to terms
with your sexuality
in a pluralistic culture
with complicated sexual
paradigms, is all.
i--i think I understand.
so we'll just--
we'll just
talk it all through...
one step at a time...
like...like this here.
what if I were to ask you
if I could kiss you here?
would that be all right?
And...
how about here?
Now, how about right here?
(Giggles)
hi.
was it something I said?
no, no, no.
excuse us.
so, Charlie...
your white count is low.
l.a.p. Levels are low.
what can I say?
you're in perfect health.
Thank you so much.
I know I don't seem
very happy right now,
but I am.
Hey.
hi.
may I...
may I sit?
sure.
I owe you an amends.
big time ninth step.
no. I'm the one
who should be sorry.
no.
you know why?
I've been thinking about it
all morning.
I was seeing myself
in, like, 10, 20 years,
all grown up
at those kinds of parties,
and I saw you there
sitting next to me.
and you hadn't
changed a bit.
so...i was telling off
the guests.
no.
you were sticking up
for yourself,
just like
you told Claudia to.
and by the way, thank you.
thank you for that.
she really needs that
without my mom here.
I was just saying it
as a friend.
Bailey, I'm only
3 years older than her.
it's more than that.
you're gonna make
a really great mother
someday.
you know that?
yeah, in, like,
80 years, maybe.
I can see it already.
Well...
hope they adopt
the code.
well...
we'll sit here
until they do.
together.
right?
Hi.
hi.
have we, um,
have we been
avoiding each other?
because...
well, I've been
avoiding you.
I was just leaving.
I just wanna
talk about it, Perry.
oh, I know you do.
you always do.
I'm feeling
a little confused and--
which is why...
why I don't want
to talk about it.
what do you mean?
Julia,
why did you kiss me?
why did that happen?
can you tell me that?
I don't know, exactly.
I just...
is it because
you're gay?
because you suddenly
realized you're gay
or something?
no. I'm--
I don't think so,
but I...
'cause guess what. I am.
and what we did...
that means something,
Julia.
it does to me, too.
but it's not the same.
look...
I don't know...
I don't know what's going on
in your head right now,
but I do know
where you've come from,
and I know that you've had
some bad times with men,
but that's not me.
I'm not gay because
I don't like men.
I'm gay because
I like women.
and I like you.
Julia--
no, I mean it.
that's what it is.
I like you, Perry.
being around you
the last couple weeks,
you make me feel
so great and so safe,
and I don't wanna
lose that.
Julia, you kissed me.
whatever that means,
whatever you're
going through now,
I just...
I'm not letting you
get there through me.
(Telephone rings)
it's for you.
Hello.
oh, yeah. I'm sorry.
I was supposed
to call you back.
no, no.
I loved the view.
the view was great.
no, it wasn't
the price, either.
the price was fine.
listen, uh,
I found another place.
yup.
this morning.
no. Actually, there, uh,
there wasn't a fee.
it was, uh...
it was through
a friend.
well, thank you anyway.
I really appreciate it.
ok. Bye.
