Can I help you?
Don't mind me.
I'm using my day to take pictures
Of people who look truly happy
And I couldn't help but feel
That you are so at peace.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Would you mind leaning back
Against the railing again and just think
"new york."
No, I'm good. I appreciate it, though.
- Okay. - Yeah.
No.
Um...
Aah.
Help. No.
Bitch.
I love you.
Please.
What is wrong with you?.
Aaaaah.
Sorry.
I thought they were real.
My god. It's driving me crazy.
- I know we know him. - No, I'm telling you,
It's the guy that chartered a jet
Just to watch you scrape your foot
- With a ped egg on it. - No.
That guy was teeny-tiny.
It's not him.
Hey, um... Are you guys medicated?
- Of course. - My whole life.
That's... that's good to know.
yeah.
Just 'cause...
I feel like I've been having a hard time,
Just like, readjusting to everything.
Dory, can we just not?
Just wanna have a normal day,
Talking shit about strangers.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I think it's okay, though, that...
That we check in with each other, right?
Yeah, I love that.
I love that. I just...
I'm sort of the philosophy right now where I think
It's best to not think about it and keep moving forward and...
That's working great for me, 'cause I've never been better.
Which is exactly why I'm trying to really
Just bury myself in working on my book right now.
Speaking of which, my editor is
Introducing me to my entire publishing team today.
And... They're considering turning my life
Into a board game.
My god.
Great.
I just keep google- searching, like,
"montreal body found".
I mean, aren't you guys...
A little freaked out about getting caught,
Like, any second?
You know, I read online it takes years
To get over killing someone.
So the best we can do is just... Carry on.
Right, I just... I don't...
Have anything to get back to.
I don't have a partner.
I don't have a home.
I... Literally have
Less than I had before I started
Looking for chantal.
But...
To look on the bright side, you found her.
Yeah.
Thank you for that.
Yeah, i... I guess I just miss when my
Problems were about nothing.
What about drew?
Have you seen him recently?
No.
Mnh-mnh.
So, if you get the job, you just, like,
Live in shanghai?
- Yeah. - You want that?
It's not that different from new york, actually.
What the hell are you talking about?
Everything's chinese there.
yeah, but I am chinese.
How do you say,
"I love beautiful women" in mandarin?
my boy's ready.
What are you guys talking about?
Doy, gardner.
Job opening in shanghai.
Alan applied.
He's gonna get it, for sure.
Hey, does china have an extradition treaty?
I don't know, man.
You running away from something?
No.
Hey, my buddy says the hookers in shanghai
Are super patient and really relaxed.
Wouldn't know anything about that, man.
Shit.
Gail.
This isn't the easiest thing for me to say
Because, you know, when I quit, i...
Really wanted to... Quit.
But, um... I guess I'm just wondering...
If there's any way I could just...
Come back and be your assistant again.
Dory, you're so sweet.
But i... I can't.
I don't... I don't have the funds.
Sorry, what?
I'm out of funds, dory.
I have no money.
I mean, how?
I-I... sorry, I just don't understand.
Like, I mean, is everything okay with sundeep?
No, no. Ha.
Sundeep says that my lack of awareness
Is a "liability"
And that I could stay here as long as I want,
But he needs to cut off all ties with me.
Gail.
I-I'm, I'm so sorry.
It's terrible.
It's so... It seems so sudden.
Yeah, it was a few days ago...
When you took the car, actually.
And then, apparently, later that evening, i...
Walked uptown and fell asleep
On the steps of the met.
I feel so guilty about the car.
- No, stop. No. - Okay.
Don't feel... please.
This is not about the car.
- Yeah. - This is about me.
- Really. - Well.
Drew and I also split up.
My god. No, dory.
- Yeah. - I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Thanks.
We are gonna get through this, okay?
Let's just promise each other, all right?
Okay. I promise.
look at us.
Two single women in their late 40s.
Tsk.
And this one was listed online
As a humphrey wentletrap,
But it's actually a brown-band wentletrap.
that is gorgeous.
Portia, look at this.
Portia. Pay attention to bing.
My gosh.
Beautiful shell.
So, portia, tell me, are you acting in anything
That has room for an aging
John garfield type, such as myself?
Bing, if I was working on anything,
You would be the first to know.
- Aww. - I don't know how she does it.
She takes after her father.
he could clip his toenails
For 10 minutes and call it a full day.
No, I'm...
I'm going on auditions and stuff,
Like a totally normal, motivated person.
I have a really big one this week, actually.
And?
And I'm probably not gonna get it,
Because it's elijah clyde, so they're probably
Just looking for a name.
Elijah clyde?.
He's a big deal.
- Yeah. - Who?
I swear, there's too many names in this world.
Yeah, I don't really know that much about it,
Other than it's, like, supposed to be very dark
And has a spanish name, so I'm probably going in
Because I'm only seen for ethnic roles.
Ohhhhh.
It's the labianca play.
This is so exciting.
Do you know your mother met charles manson
- On an airplane? - No, I think.
It's a charles manson thing?
The labianca murders were a night of barbaric killings
That he convinced his followers to do.
I think you should act like you know that,
- If you're going in. - Bless her heart.
That woman was gutted.
Hey.
Thank you.
- Of course. - Sorry. I can't drink
Out of bottles because I got braces. Hunh.
Turns out I'm a tongue thruster.
Okay, cool.
Your hair looks... Looks lovely, blonde.
Thank you.
Um, what was it that you wanted to talk about?
I don't know what I saw... In montreal...
But I know that i... Need to bring it up.
Okay.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Um, look, chantal, I think i...
I think I do.
This is all a big misunderstanding.
I... Really hope not.
What?
Drew... When I was in montreal, I, um...
I saw you.
okay.
Why is that funny?
I'm sorry. It's not funny.
It's not funny.
Wow. It's, um... It's very serious.
Okay, well, it's true.
I like you so much, it's like, tragic.
Look, I'm just not in a place at all right now to be...
No, you know what? I actually don't even...
I don't want you to say anything.
I just want you to know that i...
Think you're extraordinary.
You know, I want you to just...
Receive that.
Okay?
Okay.
I receive it. Thank you.
I think you know flicky and nyanne,
But this is rayche, lupile, georgette, nixine.
Hi, hi, hi. I think we've all been on calls before.
It's so nice to meet you.
Elliott, these are the people
That are gonna take your story
And they're gonna bring it into the world.
This... Is your team.
my god, nia,
I am walking on a cloud right now.
I just wanted to see him in the flesh.
Selena, elliott. Elliott, selena.
- Hi, selena. - Selena found wild.
Okay, this is amazing. I'm truly so inspired
Right now, I just wanna, like, hole up in my apartment
And, like, write the whole thing tonight.
you're so funny.
Please, though. Save it for the page.
- Okay. - And, speaking of which,
When can we see some pages?
We would really love to mock up a calendar.
Okay, insanely soon, but if I can just...
Take a moment, um... About a month ago,
I was lying to the world
About having had stage iv cancer.
And now I stand before you, outed.
and victorious.
But it's not just my benchmark.
This is for that little kid in west virginia
Who changes his name simply because he feels compelled to.
And that mom in dallas who says she has "three sisters,"
When, really, she just doesn't.
Let's give a voice to the many complicated liars out there.
Who's with me?
Yes.
What is not to love about him?. Okay?
What is not to love?.
Nuggie him.
Nia, you're crazy.
My god.
Eugh.
That moment when your hair falls out?
so, um, are you...
Are you and dory s-still talking?
No.
She actually kind of ruined
My entire life, so...
I'm sorry. That sucks.
yeah, it does suck.
Okay, I'm gonna be honest, actually.
Um, in montreal, i...
I could see the way that she was
Disrespecting your masculinity.
You deserve somebody who sees all of you
For who you are really are.
You keep saying that you see me.
I'm just curious, um...
When you look at me,
What is it that you see?
I see a boy Who's been hurt
And needs healing.
And...
I wanna heal that boy.
Um, you know that this would, um,
Really hurt dory a lot, right?
And that, if we do this...
That's like the worst thing possible.
That doesn't affect me at all.
Well, if it isn't the hero of the month.
Heh. Um...
I was actually calling 'cause I had a question
I wanted to ask you.
Yeah, what's up?
Um, I wanted to know if you were still,
Tutoring those kids on the side.
Um, 'cause i... I need a job.
No. Actually, the program
I was working for, it's not around anymore.
The guy who owned it tried to turn it
Into a preteen matchmaking service,
So, yeah, that thing got shut down.
Okay.
All right, well, nevermind, then, I guess.
But, hey, um...
I wanted to tell you something.
Yeah?
I'm sorry that I implied
That you couldn't find chantal.
I think it's pretty cool that you proved me wrong.
Thanks.
And I was wondering, would you be down with,
Like, me doing a piece about the whole thing?
No, I don't...
You know, like a young hero's profile?
I...
I n... i... i see why you maybe want to do an article,
Right, 'cause it's... It's a story.
But I just... i don't think there's that much there.
And, hey, dory, if anything, you know,
It would be a really cool excuse
For us to hang out.
Um... I'll think about it - Yeah?
- And call you back. - Okay.
Um, but... Hello?
Hello?
Um, could you... Could you not, though,
- Julian, for now? Just don't. - Well...
Okay, well, look, dory,
It will take, you know, 10 minutes tops.
Just don't.
yeah, baby, yeah.
Finish big, drew.
Get it all up in there.
I want a twist ending.
Aah.
Ooh. There's, like,
- A lot missing. - I'm aware, marc.
God, when I pull like this,
So much more comes out.
- Put it back in. - That's not how hair works.
Well, then stop touching it.
Okay, I feel like we should just, like,
Get all the loose hair out and then we'll see
- Where we're at. - No, no, no. No, let's just
Let the loose hair rest in place
And then I'm gonna wear hats until this is over.
You know what? I'm fine.
Everything's fine.
Babe, are you hiding something from me?
what?. No.
It's probably your book.
Yeah, it's too much.
You gotta go easy on yourself.
It's a marathon, not a sprint.
it's not the book, marc.
I'm fine.
That was yummy.
Um...
My chest is falling asleep, actually.
Do you mind getting all the way off the couch?
- Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry. - Okay, yeah.
Ooh.
Ooh, that's better?
Are you starving?
I'm starving.
You know what I'm craving, actually?
I'm craving microwave s'mores.
Is that just me?
I don't know.
I've never had that kind of food.
I like taking care of you.
shit.
Hey, chantal, do you mind doing me a favor?
Can you just, um...
Just hang out in here for a second
While I go do something?
Yeah. Where are your graham crackers?
Maybe I'm out, or maybe they're in a cupboard or something.
but if you just stay in the kitchen
And don't make a sound.
- Okay. - Okay?
You understand?
Okay. Okay.
- Hi. - Hey.
What is it?
Um, can we just talk for a second?
Yeah, I don't really think that's
Such a good idea, dory.
Wait.
Do you have a girl in here with you?
No.
No, I don't.
All right.
I've just been feeling emotionally,
All over the place right now, so,
It would just be really helpful
If we could just talk for, like, one second.
Yeah, well, maybe you should just
Go get a bite to eat and then you'll feel better.
Hey.
What's going on?
I know things are really weird between us right now,
But, like... This is bigger than us, drew.
Um, you know what?
We don't do this anymore.
Why do you have this?
This is the award from agnes's
Aunt noni's house, so...
Wh-why is it in your apartment?
Because I took it.
Yeah. I can see that.
Yeah, um... I took it 'cause it's broken.
You can see right there, there's...
A crack in it. Um...
I think matthieu did it, and I wanted to take it
And bring it home and get it fixed
Because I knew that you weren't supposed
To be in the house, so I took it, um...
So... so that you wouldn't get in trouble.
drew.
That's so sweet.
You didn't have to do that.
Come on. No, I wanted to.
I wanted to do that for you.
I guess you saved me two times, then.
yeah.
Yeah, I guess I saved you twice.
Gail?
It's dory.
Sundeep?
No, it's... it's dory.
Dory. Hi. Hi.
Dory, how are you?
Did you, um... Did you take your pills?
Yes.
I took them all up.
Is it still raining out? Ooh.
No, it's not.
It didn't rain today, actually.
Good, good, good.
Gail, I'm gonna stay with you
For a little while, if that's all right.
Yeah. Yay.
That makes me happy, dory.
And I'll remind you again in the morning
So you don't forget, okay?
Perfect. Thank you.
gail, could I tell you something?
Of course.
I killed someone.
No-o-o.
Yeah.
I killed a man.
And he didn't deserve it.
No, I'm sure he did.
No, he didn't.
And I'm really scared.
There's nothing to be scared of here.
You're attractive.
You're gonna live a fine life.
I just keep trying to leave it behind, but...
I can't stop thinking that it's just not gonna end well.
You don't know that.
what's gonna happen to me?
