- If anyone has just cause why this man and this woman
should not be married, let him speak now
or forever hold his peace,
Now that Karla and Jack have given their consent
and made their vows to each other,
before God and this congregation, by the joining of hands
and receiving of rings, I declare they are husband and wife,
Those whom God have joined together, let no man put asunder,
You may kiss the bride,

Same tree, different branch,
(woman giggling)
Unless, unless of course that turns you on,
in which case I am definitely one of those DuPonts,
- [Woman] Mm,

Couple days, maybe a week later,
I went to a gay bar,
One time turned into once in awhile,
and once in awhile turned into every couple of weeks,
Then, one night, bartender puts a beer down in front of me
that I didn't order,
- Looks like you have an admirer,
(light music)
(police radio chirping)
No more cars,
- So, why the waiter?
- [Jack Voiceover] He kept looking at me,
and he would brush against me, and I was drunk,
(Jack sighing)
And I wanted him, and--
- Maybe this is who you are, Jack,
You know, maybe you're a homosexual man, who's--
- Doctor, I don't wanna be a homosexual,
- Uh, a bisexual man,
- I don't wanna be a bisexual either, doctor,
- Okay,
All right,
Couple of things right off the bat,
First of all, you can call me Tracey,
You don't have to call me doctor,
For what you're paying, you can call me by my first name,
Now, tell me about Pete,
(light music) (people chattering)
- Hello,
- And goodbye,
- You have to leave?
- Yeah, cleaners closes at seven, I got no clean shirts,

- You wanna grab a cup of coffee?
Don't suppose you're hungry are you?
- Hm-uh,
- Huh, well, as it just so happens,
I don't live too far from here,
Do you have time? You're not gonna miss your train are you?
- I think I'm good,
(Pete chuckling)
- [Pete] I feel like I haven't seen you at the
Zebra bar before,
- [Jack] Uh, yeah I don't really go that much,
- [Pete] Just not into the bar scene, or what?
- [Jack] Work,
- [Pete] You're a working man, I can appreciate that,
- [Jack] So--
- [Pete] So buttons,
- [Jack] So, buttons?
What made you ask about my train?
- [Pete] I don't know, just have that look,

- [Tracey] So, you like being a husband
and a father, don't you?
- Yes,
- So why do you go back to the bar?
- They threw his ass out of the gym,
Right out in the cold, butt naked,
So, shrinkage was definitely an issue, (chuckling)

He wanted to talk,

about your relationship with Pete?
- 10,
- Hey Dad, sorry I'm late,
- You were born late, I'm used to it,
What're you drinking?
- I'll have a glass of that, thanks,
- [Pamela] So, what's his name?
- What's whose name?
- Oh please, you were suppose to meet us here
the other night, you stood us up, which with you
usually means you met someone,
- No, no, no, no, we're family, you know,
No big thing, right?
It's cool,
- Are you gonna see him again?
- I don't know, maybe,
We gettin' a table?
- He's married, you did it again, he did it again,
- Hey,
I'm good, I got it,
So, is she right?
- You're going to see him again, aren't you?
I bet you a drink,
- No bet,
- Fear of intimacy,
- I do not have a fear of intimacy,
- [Both] Yes, you do,
- Dating married men, four married men,
in a town full of single, hot, gay ass is a cry for help,
What're you afraid of?
- I know what he's afraid of,
- I'm not afraid of anything,
- [Both] Commitment,
- Look, why don't you just settle the fuck down, huh?
Buy something, you got enough money,
And for god sakes, stop fucking around with these
down-low motherfuckers, you understand
what I'm sayin'? - Ron, Ron,
- Yes, sir, it's not like I'm not trying,
Are we gonna, can we sit, can we eat?
(sighing)
- Come on, Jack,
(Jack sighs, clears throat)
- She's pretty special, - I mean,
I get goosebumps, she reminds me of Diane Arbus,
- Yeah, absolutely,
- I mean, it looks like a painting,
- Yeah, it does, but--
- Uh, excuse me, your phone's been ringing,
- Oh, okay, I'm sorry, Can you just excuse me for a second?
- Sure,
- Thanks, just enjoy,
Hello?
- How is the most wonderful, beautiful,
and understanding wife in the world?
- That depends, who is this?
- Your husband, who has to go to a press run tonight,
They screwed up a bunch of pages,
it's gonna be that kinda night,
- Oh, um, you want me to come get you at the station?
- No, uh, it's gonna be late,
- You sure?
- [Jack] Yeah,
- Okay, all right, love you,
- Love you too,
- Anyway, I thought that you would love this one,
- You just lied to your wife, again,
(light jazz music)
I was in the neighborhood, and--
- No, you weren't,
- Thought I would just say hi,
- Look, you seem like a really nice guy,
but you've got stuff,
And I have history with guys who have stuff,
wives, children, I can't really see you,
Not that I don't want to, I just,
I can't,
- Yeah, you're right,
(Jack sighs)
I completely get it,
Sorry,
- No, don't apologize, really,
'Tis a far, far better thing I do today
than I have ever done before,
I'm sorry, I find obscure literary quotes
come in handy at times like this,
- I've read Dickens,
English major?
- Art history minor,
- Poli sci, English lit, double major, Penn,
- Temple,
(chuckles)
- Who's your favorite author?
- Jacqueline Susann,
- (chuckles) Wow,
- "Valley of the Dolls" is an underrated
20th century classic,
- I don't think I can call that literature,
even by mid-60s standards,
- Yeah, who is your favorite writer?
- John Cheever,
- A self-loathing, closeted homosexual who wrote about men
who felt trapped in their commuter train lives, really?
- Don't forget he was also a world-class alcoholic,
- Yeah, and she mostly wrote about fucking, a lot,
- Do you use your degree?
- Do you use yours?
- Editor, non-fiction,
- Copywriter, in-house, for a big glossy magazine
that's probably gonna fold because it's too esoteric
and too artsy,
But who has time to read a magazine anyway, right?
(light jazz music)
(beeping)
(muffled electronic voice)
- Whoa,
- [Rebecca] It's fairy dust, Daddy,
It'll make your dreams come true,
- It'll make you instantly fabulous,
- You two, go be fabulous upstairs, now,
(Rebecca giggling)
Sorry, (laughing)
Miles was here,
- Oh, how is he anyway?
- [Karla] Uh, he's allergic to his meds now, it seems,
- [Jack] That doesn't sound good,
- [Karla] No,
So,
- [Jack] So buttons,
- Where did you pick that up?
So?
- We can't keep it,
- I know, but, (inhales)
- We're not keeping it,
- That just went right in my mouth,
- Hm, if I had a nickel for every time you said that,
(Karla laughing)
Rich man,
- Where is the cord?
You know what, I'm sorry, you're gonna get mad at me,
but I need you to run to the store, I gotta make brownies,
I was just informed, tomorrow's snack,
- Okay, goin' to the store,
- [Anne] I wanna go,
- Sure, get your shoes,
- [Rebecca] I wanna go too,
- [Anne] You don't even know where we're going,
- [Rebecca] So?
- You can go too,
- [Rebecca] Where?
- [Anne] To the store, dumb head,
- [Rebecca] You're the dumb head,
- Don't call your sister dumb head,
Booger face, try that one,
- [Anne And Rebecca] Booger face,
- [Rebecca] Yeah,

- Yeah, stop,
We thought that made him queer, so you, me,
and John Palladino, we beat the crap out of him,
Remember, we were 12,
I had sex with Billy Ponder our senior year,
In Dad's Cutlass,
- Oh, god,
- In the backseat,
- God, no you didn't,
- Mm-hmm, - No, you didn't,
I've sat in that Cutlass,
- He was the first guy,
- The first, there's more?
- Yes,
I'm sorry that I never told you, but Eric,
I'm gay, and I'm in love,
- How, how is it that you're all of a sudden
just in, in love with a dude?
- He makes me laugh,
- He makes you laugh?
- Mm-hmm,
- So you're gonna, you're gonna give up your wife
for some dude who makes you laugh?
- If your father ever cheated on me, I'd cut his dick off,
This is $225, what the fuck is this?
Do we get to meet him?

- Sure, I am, our first trip,
I have to be there on Friday, come with me,
We can stay all weekend in bed, or not,

- Guys, please,
- I love him,
I'm in love with him,
There, I said it,
It's not like you didn't know,
- I didn't,
- So what do you have to say?

- Don't let on I told you,
Ron is gonna ask you to be his best man,
Unless of course you wanna be my maid of honor instead,
it's entirely up to you,

- Well this is why I never leave you two alone together,
- Go ahead and gloat,
(Karla chuckles)
But I remember a night, a long long time ago at a party,
when I thought, something,
- Oh, (chuckles)
- What're you talkin' about?
- New year's eve, 2002,
You were stinking drunk, you ran up to me,
threw your arms around me, and you kissed me,
- Was there tongue?
- [Jack] I did?
- And you said, "Happy New Year," and you called me baby,
- Jesus,
- I don't remember that,
- Well I've never forgotten,
- If I were gonna share Jack with anybody,
it would've been you,
- Well anyway, it's all too late now,
Some dreams don't come true,
- Oh, never say never,
(Karla laughing)
I'm kidding, can I get a drink, please?
- I'd love one,
- So, does your boyfriend know where you are?
(chuckles) Come on, I asked around,
and everybody seems to think you're dating somebody,
but nobody knows who,
(Pete sighing)
Come on, come on, I was just joking,
Wait (laughing), I'm right,
Holy shit,
Wow, Pete, you got some real boundary issues,
- I gotta go,
(moaning softly)
- Just give me a minute, - Okay,
(moaning softly)

- Oh, hello there, you both, just look at you,
Hi, honey,
- Hi,
- [Barbara] Oh, oh, you've put on a little weight,
- Good to see you too, Mom,
- And Jack, dear, - Hello, Barbara,
- Hello,
Take your shoes off,
You know I don't allow shoes in the house,
- Can we go in the pool now?
- If you pick up your things and take them down to your room
then yes, you may get in the pool,
- Dah! (girls screaming)
- Clay, for god sakes, leave them alone,
- Mm, Jack,
Sis,
- [Karla] What're you doin' here?
- Good to see you too,
- Where's Brit and the boys?
- Back at home,
Get off of there,

- Oh, who'd you screw, Clay?
- Uh, hairdresser,
- Hers?
Oh that's shitty, that is shitty,
on a number of levels, that is shitty,
This serious?
- [Clay] No,
- What is that?
- [Barbara] Clay brought a friend home with him,
- (laughing) You're gonna love this guy,
Yo, Rich, Rich come in here for a second,
I want you to meet my sister and her husband,
- Hi, how's it, sorry about the wet hand,
- Big sister, Karla, brother-in-law, Jack,
- Hi, - Hi,
- So Rich took me in for a couple days
when things went tits up with Brit,
Then he drove me out here from LA,
and then I convinced his ass
to stay for a couple of days, so,
- And it's been a wonderful two weeks,
- Your mom though, she's been fattening me up
with her good home cooking,
(lips sputtering)
- [Barbara] That's it,
- Uh, Mom, why didn't you tell us that the house was full
because we could've just gotten a--
- I would not have you come all this way
and have you stay in a hotel,
- No, no, no, Karla no, it's no big deal,
Rich and I are staying together in the king size,
so you guys got plenty of space back there,
- Oh well, I've gotta get to cooking,
Clay, help them with their bags,
- Ah,
- Oh here, let me help you out with that,
No, no, no, I, least I could do,
It's back here, this way,
- Thanks, I-I know,
- [Karla] Two years, you invite him to the house,
For crying out loud
I came to see you, - Yeah, I know,
- [Karla] And spend some time and play,
- [Barbara] Well, I wanted to have all of ya here,
- [Karla] You know what, just put the drink down,
- No, I will not-- - Put the drink down,
- [Barbara] Put the drink down,
(kids yelling playfully) This is the only way
I get through my life now,
- [Karla] How 'bout the (drown out by kids yelling),
- [Barbara] Oh, please,
- [Clay] Who you texting there, Jackie?
- [Barbara] That's exactly right,
simple, - Work,
- If you say so, - I've tried really hard
not to bring that up,
- [Karla] You didn't bring it up, I brought it up, Mom,
- [Barbara] I don't wanna talk about it,
- [Digital Voice] Stereo,
- It's not a stereo, they're wrong,
- No, no, no, no, no honey, not until after grace,
- [Karla] It's stereo,
- Don't get mad at me,
- (sighing) Jack,
- Dear God, thank you for this food,
May it nourish our bodies,
- And thank you, God, for bringing us all together again
at last, amen,
- [All] Amen,
- Well done, Mom, - Mm-hmm,
- [Clay] So Jack, how's work?
- It's good, busy,
- No, no, no, you don't need that,
- Mom,
- Rebecca, eat whatever you want,
- So, Rich, what do you do?
- [Rich] I'm a stuntman, mostly,
- [Anne] Really?
- Yeah,
Would you like some broccoli?
- Yeah,
- Have you ever been on fire?
- Uh, I have actually, I've, I've been on fire
a couple times,
I've crashed cars, I've jumped off buildings,
- I want to,
- I don't think so,
- Would you like some meat?
- Yes,
- Have at it,
- [Jack] It sounds really interesting,
- (chuckles) It is when you're actually working but um,
when I'm not working on a show or movie,
I'm actually cuttin' hair,
- Yes, he does, and let me tell you, he is amazing,
He's got magic hands, seriously, if anybody needs anything,
(moaning softly)
- What if I wanted to be with you?
Exclusively,
(chuckles) Wait, nevermind,
This is crazy,
I should know better,
I had a lovely evening, I hope you did as well,
But, come on, goodnight, goodbye, lose my number,
(John chuckles)
- [Jack] Bah,
- [Rich] You hungry?
- Not really,
- You can't sleep, huh?
- No,
- Want a divorce?
Hey,
- Why would you even ask that?
- Takes one to know one,
- What do you mean?
- (scoffs) Look, Karla is awesome, she's awesome,
You got that big house, two kids in private school,
that's a lotta pressure, buddy,
- It is,
- Yeah, and it's gettin' to you, bad,
- Well, it's--
- Hey, hey, I don't judge, I don't judge, I get it,
I'm just sayin', I can see it,
And if I can see it, she's gonna see it,
And texting is not cool, man, come on,
What if she goes through your phone, huh?
Is that thing on the cloud?
- [Jack] Hm?
- You got an iPad?
Yeah?
You sendin' cock shots?
Course you're sending cock shots,
Listen, anything that you text will show up
halfway across town in front of your wife's face,
That's how I ended up with my shit in a shopping bag
in front of a Starbucks in Burbank,
'Cause I was iStupid,
Don't be iStupid,
Look, what I'm trying to impart to you here
is make a decision,
Be a man,
Karla, my sister, who I love dearly, deserves it,
You hear me?
So do you,
And don't you think it's better for your girls
to see you happy and living your life?
Come on,
(water splashing)
- Huzzah,
(Clay laughing)
- Oh this is perfect, ain't it?
- Oh, oh yeah,
- Come on, let's go, you gotta get in here,
- Here I come,
- [Clay] (laughing) Big buildup,
- Oh, it is nice,
- [Clay] It's not that bad,
- There he is, - That-a-boy,
- He made it,
- All right, all right, so Jack,
- Yeah,
- Oh,
- When did you figure out you were gay?
- 'Bout a year ago,
- All right,
- When did you two start?
- [Rich] What?
- Seeing each other,
- I'm, I'm not gay,
- He's not gay,
- Oh,
- Yo dude, is that what you thought?
Where the fuck did you get that from? I'm not gay either,
I love it, where'd you get that from?
- He's not even my type,
- (laughing) I love that, man,
- Come here, I wanna see it, - No, don't, don't,
- [Rich] I wanna see it now,
BJ time, BJ time,
(Clay laughing)
Let me just touch it, nevermind, just,
I wanna see it, - I'm so ticklish,
I am so ticklish, don't, - I just wanna see, I know,
- [Clay] I'm gonna fucking piss myself,
- [Rich] No, no,
- [Jack] Greetings from Palm Springs,
- Oh, a little prick, just what I wanted,
- Hey, HR hears everything,
Hi Pete,
- Hey,
- Uh, hold on, hold on,
Kim, come in here, please,
- Yeah,
- [Jack] Can you get off early?
- Me?
- Huh-uh,
Uh, well?
- How early?
- [Jack] Around 4:30ish?
- You want me to send flowers to this guy?
- Yeah, me, yes,
Come on, I haven't seen you in two weeks,
- Fine,
- That-a-boy, uh, don't be late,
Yellow roses, by the way,
- Jack,
(sighing) I know,
I know who Pete Logsdon is, I saw you two,
Together, out,
at a bar, a gay bar,
Does Karla know?
- No,
- Are you sure?
'Cause women always know,
- Why does everyone keep telling me that?
Do you think that I'm a slime ball for having an affair
with a man?
- Not entirely, no,
- Would it be worse if it were a woman?
- Apples and oranges, Jack,
I need your credit card, please,
- Yeah,
Look, natural light,
- Jack,
- Ah-ah-ah, ah,
Champagne,
Happy anniversary,
Pete, I'm not a bad person,
- I know that,
- I don't think that you do, how could you?
All that you get of me is this guy who cheats on his wife,
Who lies to his friends and his kids,
That's not me,
I want you to get a chance to know me, the real me,
Pete, I love you, I do,
And I'm leaving Karla,
- A letter, you, you can't write a letter,
- That's just, that's just what I wanna say,
I'm going to talk to her, face to face,
I just needed to organize my thoughts,
- (chuckles) This is my fault, this is--
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, - All my fault,
- Don't be silly, don't be silly, it's not,
It's gonna be okay,
- Jack, I met someone,
- What?
- I met someone and I'm seeing him,
It's not serious, yet, but it's going to be,
Or, it can be,
I want it to be,

- I decided at a very early stage
that we were going to do Christmas at least once
on the East coast, bitter cold, bitter cold,
But of course, that only means that we had to have
a Christmas tree, right?
You know, you can't have a real family Christmas
without a Christmas tree, of course,
So imagine it, my mom, fur coat, drunk to the tilt,
we now know why, (group laughing)
Dad's there bitching the entire time,
but we get the real tree and we get it inside
and we're happy, and we do what we can with decorating,
It was our one and only, not a lot of experience
in that market,
And it's Christmas eve and we realize
it doesn't have a star,
So I tell my dad, "We need a star on the Christmas tree,"
He says, "Star, you're lucky we got the fucker in here,"
(group laughing)
So, you can imagine how that Christmas went,
First, last, and only East coast Christmas for us,
Come on, we're going,

You're perfect, you both are,

You have the perfect apartment in the perfect neighborhood,

- Christopher,
Why are you here?
- I do Pamela's hair, remember?
- Looks great,
- Thank you,
So,
where's your husband?
- If you mean John, he was called away by his mommy
for some family business this morning,
but we're not, we're not married,
- And why's that?
- I don't see why we need to be,
He did ask me,
- Did he?
- Yeah, last night, at the rehearsal dinner
in front of my whole family,
- On his knees, I bet,
Congratulations, (chuckling)
- Fuck you,
(Christopher chuckles)
I don't see why we need to get married,
Why do we have to do everything the way they do it?
- No, we don't, we uh,
we make our own rules, Pete,
- You're touching my dick,
- I am, and I'm just making a point,
(people chattering) (jazz music in background)
- The requirements, - Hello
How are you?
Mm, mwha,
- Hello,
- Hi, - Hi,
How are you?
- I'm good, how are you?

Come on, Pete, what? - Christopher,
- What?
- Stop,
- I don't wanna stop,
Pete, please,
What, come on, Pete,
(Pete grunting)
- Oh!
- Was that the first time?
Why do you get caught up in all this fly-by-night shit?
It's not love, it's chaos,
Why can't you just be happy?
- If Bruce comes tonight, which he probably will,
please don't get into it with him,
especially if he brings the new guy,
Oh, what's his face?
I know I know his name,
Nevermind,
But, supposedly he's been with this guy
a little bit before him and Patrick were over,
Michael Smith said we all met him that weekend in Rehoboth,
Do you remember that?
I didn't,
I asked you a question,
- Why are we discussing this?
- Why not, it's just news,
- No, it's not,
- Are you gonna get ready tonight?
- I don't think I wanna go,
- Fine, you cancel, he's your friend,
- I thought he was our friend,
- Whatever, I'll do it,
- No, wait,
(sighing) I'll get dressed,

Oh my god, you reek, you've got pot, I need some,
Where is it?
All these rich people make me nervous, sorry,
but I'm about to jump outta my skin,
Do you have any?
- John does,
- Please sir, can we, now?

It's her gallery,
- Hi, nice to meet you, - Hi, nice to meet you,

I've been meaning to call, I just--
- I wish you had,
I miss you,
Do you think we could uh--
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
I'm with John, we live together, I'm engaged,
It's a bad idea,
- I was just gonna say have lunch,
- That's how it starts, right?
Bye, Jack,
- Gross, when?
- John, can we head out?
- Uh, this morning,
- What?
- They found Chris Randolph this morning,
- He yeah, overdosed,
- What?
- Tina will take you down, child, it is messy, messy,
- Well you seem to know an awfully lot about him,
Did you two?
- Uck, not me,
- What?
- David,
- Peter, - What?
- When? - Never,
- Oh my god,
- [Pete And John] What?
- Guess who's here,

- Nevermind, bye,
David is just, wow,
- I wasn't--
- I guess we're leaving,
- Bye,
- Hey mama, am I rich yet?
(David and Karla chuckling)
- Well, I think I just sold another one for you,
- Oh, all right, - Mm-hmm,
- Mwha, that's awesome,
To who?
- Whom,
- Yes, whom, - Whom,
Pete Logsdon,
- Oh, no,
- Yeah,
- No, Karla, he left,
- Oh, shit,
- That's all right, I'll call him,
(Karla sighing)
I have to anyway, he wasn't having a good night,
- Oh, - Plus he looks like shit,
He left because he ran into some ex-trick,
Well not really trick, boyfriend with a lotta baggage,
(sighing) They were together for what,
like a year and some change,
which is like 10 years to the gays,
(Karla laughing)
And I'm sure they ran into each other,
I'm sure about Pete, and I'm sure he was trying to avoid
any sort of conflict with the ex and the current,
who is smokin' hot, by the way,
with control issues,
- Uh-huh,
- I think the uh, ex is probably worse though, he's married,
to a woman, with a vagina,
(Karla laughing)
I know, people have told me about that crazy stuff,
I don't even know what that is,
- What is wrong with you? - But they're,
they're frightening,
(David and Karla laughing)
Oh, there's married guy now,
- Where?
- Oh, okay, you want drama?
- Yes, I do, - Okay,
- I may need a little drama, - Stay, stay there then,
- Okay, okay, okay, we'll don't--
- I won't be surprised, - Oh,
(slow, somber piano music)
(Karla sighs)
(slow, somber piano music)
- What is it, honey?
What the hell?
What, stop,
Stop,
- Fuck,
(Jack breathing heavily)
I'm sorry, I just, I, I, I had to,
I need to ask you something and it's very, very important
that you tell me the truth,
- Okay,
No more hitting,
- I heard (laughing), this is, this is almost funny,
I, I heard you're having an affair,
Or had one, with a man,
- Karla,
- I shouldn't, I shouldn't a hit ya,
- No, Karla,
- No, no, I don't wanna hear this,
Just shut up, just shut up, (crying)
Oh my god, I need to think,
I gotta think, I need, oh, I,
I need, I need to think, I can't think,
I need to think, (crying)
(Karla yelling)
(Karla breathing heavily)
Were you safe, did you use condoms?
- For god sakes,
- Answer me!
- Yes, always,
- Thank you,
- It was just Pete,
It was only a year, I promise you,
- Did you love him, Pete?
- (sniffling) Yes,
- Oh,
Well,
All these months, I mean, I knew something,
I just, I, I, I really thought it was a woman,
- [Jack] You knew?
- I'm not stupid, Jack,
(laughing)
- Why didn't you say anything?
- (laughing) You came home, every night!
(laughing) I should've known, I, I, I should've known
it was gonna,
Miles told me about you two in school,
Little more than a kiss, wasn't it, Jack?
- When?
- I don't know, sophomore year, I think,
- So you knew before we were married,
- Way before,
What?
I thought you knew I knew,
- Do you know how long I've struggled with this?
Do you have any idea, any idea what it's like
to struggle with this?
Why did you not ever think to help me?
- Help you?
I married you!
I have your fucking children!
(Karla gasping in pain)
- What?
- No, it, it kicked, that's all,
Oh fuck, it has, it has my temper,
- The baby, we're having a baby,
And then,
- We'll raise him, we'll love him, and we go on,
(jewelry clinking)
What do you think?
- I love you,
(gentle music)
I gotta go,
- Jack,
(door clicking shut)
Jack!
(gentle music)
(Karla sobbing)
(gentle, somber piano music)
- Can you sign those, so we can get outta here,
(door clicking shut)
(footsteps clicking)
Here's to your first time,
Trust me, it never gets easier, just more expensive,
- Well I'm not getting married again,
- Oh, you never know,
It's legal now,
(laughing) Don't look at me like that, I'm on your side,
Marriage equality, fuck yeah,
(sighs)
- Hot towels, too, classy dude, Pete,
Where you want this?
- On the floor, I'm gonna do laundry,
- [Man In Bed] Gotta clean up the evidence?
- No, just doing laundry,
- Uh-huh, this a big-ass loft,
About twice the size of your old place,
- At least,
- You like living up here?
- Yes,
- [Man On Bed] It's so white though,
- What does that mean?
- You know, across from Liberty Hall and shit,
- There's an African-American exhibit right down the street
on the corner-- - You sound white
when you say African American,
Why'd you call me, Pete?
It's been three years, thought you were married,
- Not yet, June,
- I wanted to date you back then,
- I-- - Couldn't date a black dude?
- That's not true at all,
- I didn't say "fuck," I said "date,"
Get to know, settle down with,
(scoffs) Nevermind,
You wanna do this again?
- Yes,
- I would, probably, maybe,
- Don't forget your sweater,
(sirens blaring)
What you covering for?
- I wouldn't bother, they're just gonna go in the trash,
Do you want a glass of wine,
or are you against day drinking?
You should at least have some water, you must be thirsty,
- How long--
- That was an arch conversation,
after the hot, odd sex,
- I'm, I'm sorry,
- Do you need one of your little pills,
or you all prepped up?
Found 'em in your gym bag three weeks ago,
Do you have anything to say?
- Would you believe me?
- That's a good question,
No,
Ah, I feel like my mother, that sucks,
Say something, goddammit,
- I fucked up,
- Oh, big time, mister,
Why?
- I--
- Why, why would you cheat on me?
Am I not enough?
Is my cock too small, is it too big?
(chuckling) Am I not here enough?
Am I too close?
I'm too wild,
Too much vanilla,
- I'm sorry, I, I really--
- You don't get to be sorry, asshole,
We're getting married in six weeks, 200 people,
In the fucking ballroom at the Bellevue,
Do you have any idea how many times
I could've fucked around on you and I did not?
(John sighing)
It's been going on for awhile, yes?
Did you fuck any of my friends, our friends?
- No,
- Who knows about this, does David know?
- Maybe,
David knows I'm not happy though,
- Then why the fuck stay?
- Because I know I should be,
It's insane that I'm not, I know that,
You are everything to me, John, and I, I--
- Apparently not,
I thought we were perfect, well not perfect,
no one's perfect, but, ooh we were good together,
We looked good together,
Oh (chuckling), shit,
I am my mother,
- No, you're not your mother, she's--
- [John] Cold and bitter, I know,
But that's how I feel,
- How can I make it up to you?
What do you need from me right now?
- Well, you can start by showering what's his name
off of you,
Then get dressed,
And pack,
And get the fuck outta my house,
I'm going to get more pinot, this one sucks,
When I get back you better be fucking gone
or your shit's going in the alley,
(door clicking open)
(door slamming shut)
(copy machine whirring)
- Oh,
Hey,
Karla's here,
(gentle piano music)
- Picking the girls up,
- Oh, - I appreciate that,
- Is, is Michael sleeping?
- He is sleeping,
He was, he was up, I got him to sleep about
six hours the other night,
- Good job, - Yes,
I'm really gonna have to use the Preparation H,
(Jack and Karla laughing)
Thank you,
Oh, listen, um, Miles had a really, really bad episode,
He's in the hospital,
- What's this?
- Go ahead,
- Fairy dust, - Fairy dust,
When they brought him into the emergency room
he had some in his fist,
He started throwing it around,
albeit weakly, yeah, - Oh!
- There was much more, but you know,
if he was goin' out, it was gonna be festive,
One had to pin his arm down to get the catheter in,
He was fighting and, pulls his oxygen mask off,
Then he yells at me, "Lighten up, bitch!"
He's better,
Still in the hospital but um,
he asked me to give that to you,
You should go see him,
- I will,
- He'd like that,
(gentle, melancholic music)
- Thank you, - You got it?
(David humming)
(Pete sighing)
Are you ever gonna let me paint you nude?
- No,
Definitely not anywhere as cold as this, fuck David,
- This building is 175 years old,
The cold is part of its charm,
- [Pete] No, it's not,
(Pete clears throat)
(Pete sniffles)
- So, New York, huh?
- Yep,
- It's gonna be a lot more expensive,
- I know, I don't care,
Well, that's a lie,
I'm terrified, but,
I found a six month sublet and it's actually got a terrace,
- Don't go,
Please,
- I can't stay here, David,
I burned this place to the ground,
- (laughing) It's not that bad,
- [Pete] Yes, it is,
(David sighs)
- I'm gonna miss you,
- It's 45 minutes by Amtrak,
- I hate trains,
(David chuckles)
(Pete sighs)
So, it's good, right?
- [Pete] It's beautiful,
(David laughs)
- Mm,
You ever think about calling Jack?
- Why would I do that, god no,
- Well, why not?
I mean, his wife knows now, (laughing)
- (laughs) I still can't believe you did that,
- I wanted to die,
- Yeah, join the club,
- Oh my god, I'm so sorry,
Oh, (laughs)
You should call him,
I mean, they probably broke up already, right?
I mean, how could she stay with him?
- Please stop, you're just compounding the guilt,
Which is why I'm moving to New York,
- Running away,
- As far as I can,
At least I'll have a decent magazine job,
(gentle piano music)
(opera singing in foreign language)
(pen clicking)
(pen thudding)
- There you go, judge,
- Thank you,
- [Robert] Where the hell is she?
- Just calm down, she'll be here,
(door clicking open)
- [Eric] No, that's okay, it's fine,
You go ahead,
- [Judge] Ah, Mr, DuPont,
- My apologies to the court, Your Honor,
Uh, my client, Mrs, Washington and I, had to confer,
We were as quick as we could be,
- Your Honor, if Mr, DuPont is finished conferring,
can we proceed?
- Wait for me--
- What're you gonna do, what're you gonna do, huh?
Oh that, that punk that's a lawyer?
- Well, that went well,
- At minimum, you put your foot in that,
- Wasn't my foot,
(Ron laughing)
Want some lunch?
- You buying? (laughing) (Washingtons arguing)
- That judge hates me,
The feeling is mutual, he presided over two of my divorces,
Asshole,
You married?
- Yeah, second time, recently,
- You get burned too?
- My first wife died,
- I'm sorry,
Kids?
- Yeah, a son, Pete,
Thank you,
- I like kids, I wish I had 'em,
- Well, they don't always turn out the way you expect 'em,
but you have to deal with what you get,
- Sounds like you're disappointed in your son,
- I didn't say that,
I love my son, a lot, I just don't always like
the things that he does,
- Drugs, jail?
- Fucked up relationships,
He's in New York right now, starting over again,
- Baby mama drama,
- (chuckles) He's gay, no baby mama,
- My best friend just turned gay,
- I think he was born like that,
- Married the hottest girl in our class,
Had two beautiful kids,
One day it's like, he just fell on a dick,
and liked it,
(Ron laughing)
- [Ron] Well I'll be goddamn,
- What's that, you know Jack?
- Yeah, my son introduced us,
They were together,
- No way,
- Yeah, I feel really embarrassed about the way that we
acted in public, I really went after him about it,
- You know that he was gonna leave his wife
for your son, right?
- What?
- I got an idea,
I got a terrible idea,
Hey Jackie,
- Hey Eric, kinda got my hands full right now, what's up?
- [Eric] You didn't tell me Pete was black,
- Just tell me, is this nuts?
- Well, nuts isn't exactly the word I'd use but um--
- [Jack] Tracey, please,
- I mean, it is kinda nuts,
But you're gonna do it anyway, right?
- [Jack] Yeah, I am,
- Well good luck, Jack,
- This is so nuts,
- And uh, yeah, it's more expensive to live out here,
What're you grinning at?
- [Ron] He's kinda cute, huh?
- (chuckles) You never give up, do you?
I don't understand
these people, - I hate cats on the counter,
Jesus Christ, I mean how do people eat and, you know,
mess with cat hair
and fur balls, and, - I don't know,
You want somethin' to drink?
- [Ron] Uh, water's good,
- [Pete] I bought beer,
- Oh, okay, that's cool,
(gentle music)
Hey, girl, (chuckles)
Not a day goes by that I don't think about her,
- Me too,
- You know, after your mother died
and I started seeing Pamela,
I took her to see your grandfather,
- Ooh, how did that go?
(Ron laughing)
- Oh, he had a fit,
I don't see why you gotta be takin' up
with that white woman,
- That sounds like granddad,
- Wasn't prejudice,
It was fear,
When he was young he had to step off the sidewalk
whenever a white woman walked by,
Till the day he died, he, he carried the fear
that I was gonna get hit in the head
because I was an uppity nigger,
He never understood the choices that I made,
Be a lawyer, leave Louisiana,
How could I allow myself to fall in love with Pamela?
Most parents are terrified at the choices
their children make,
Deep down inside, all we want is just to,
is for you to be happy,
I'm sorry if I ever got in the way of that,
- You aren't so bad,
To being happy,
(bottles clinking)
- To being happy,
- [Pete] Oh, shit,
- What, what's wrong?
- [Pete] Forgot to stop by the dry cleaners,
I don't have a clean shirt for Monday,
- Oh, hey well,
damn, - No it's cool, I can make it,
I'll be right back,
15 minutes, 20 tops,
Be thinking about-- - Yeah, but,
- [Pete] Where you're taking me for dinner,
- Oh, man, shit,

- I didn't just bump into you,
I came here specifically to tell you that,
Your father and my best friend, they're both lawyers,

No, I want the uh, the uh chance that you didn't give me,
