03x09 - James and the Giant Piece

Post by bunniefuu »

OK, so this is my genius idea...

to try and catch up
with my four-year plan

and get, like, a
gem on my résumé,

I've decided to try and
sell an idea to the Ice Box.

It's that Internet cartoon
site. You ever see it?

Uh, no. Oh.

My graphics professor, Mr. Morrison,
works there as one of the programmers,

and he's a great contact
for the outside world.

If I had an idea, I
could show it to him,

and if he liked it,
he'd take it to Ice Box.

Well, I mean,
this is really good.

I like how the robot
has this-this limp.

It really gives him character.

That's not a
robot, first of all,

and he's not
supposed to be limping.

Oh, he was... Um, I'm sorry.

No, it's OK.

It was just that he was stiff.

I love the elephant. The
elephant is awesome.

What elephant?

Um... Right...

The tail...

That's a mailbox.
Are you kidding me?

OK, explain it to me.

I'll watch the
whole thing again.

No, forget it. You
know what the truth is?

Maybe I'm just
being too ambitious.

Maybe I shouldn't be
a graphics designer.

Noel... No, I spent
the past few weeks

trying to get a handle on Flash.

Maybe I don't have what it
takes, namely talent and ability.

OK, hang on a
second. What is Flash?

This animation program,
which isn't that hard.

It's what makes the
non-robot look like he's walking

with some bounce, some rhythm.

OK, so your problem
is artistic, not technical.

Thanks. Are you trying
to make me feel worse?

No, I'm trying to find
out if I can help you.

I have taken Life Drawing
and Figures and Motion.

Hey, here. Please, draw.

OK, so what do I do?

It's just like a piece of paper.

I've got the manual here,
if you're really interested.

OK. Let me take a... Yeah.

Hey. Hey.

Hey.

You all right?

I... I just got a letter.

I've been asked to speak to the
University Disciplinary Committee.

What for?

I've been named in a charge

filed against Professor
McGrath by one of his students.

I've been named as one of
eight women he had an affair with.

With McGrath? That's insane.

No, it's... it's not insane.

I... I did have an
affair with McGrath,

freshman year, when
we had that class.

It's true.

I already knew.

♪ Can you become

♪ Can you become

♪ A new version of you?

♪ New wallpaper

♪ New shoe leather

♪ A new way home

♪ I don't remember

♪ New version of you

♪ I need a new version of me

♪ New version of you

♪ I need a new version of me ♪

And then my sister told me

that she always
knew that I knew,

which proves that I'm
not a very good actress.

So, anyway, it was
good to confront her,

and I probably never
would have without you guys,

so thanks.

Anyone else?

Who else?

I'll go.

The Ongoing Saga
of Molly and James.

Um...

It looks like he's
gonna get evicted.

He's usin' more and more
now, and it's not a big shock.

I mean, he's just...
he's run out of money.

Uh...

And I'm-I'm guilty, too,

'cause I've been
using more and more.

Using what?

This is so hard.

Cocaine.

cr*ck cocaine?

James has moved
on to that, yeah.

I mean, I'm-I'm trying to
stay away from it myself.

Thank you.

Hey, Alicia, can I talk
to you for a second?

Oh, sure, what's up?

This might not seem
so, uh, appropriate,

but I just gotta say that sometimes
I can't stand these meetings.

All we do is sit
around and talk.

Someone says they're
gonna start using cr*ck,

and we sit there and
we nod our heads.

You heard me tell Molly about that
other program that she should look into.

There's gotta be
something more we can do.

I wanna do something.
I wanna help somehow.

Look, you know, I
just run the meetings,

but since you feel
so strongly about it,

just be her friend.

But know that if
she rejects your help,

you gotta be prepared
to accept that, too.

OK.

OK, all right. Well,
I'll see you next week.

Hey. Hey.

How are you? How
was your meeting?

It was good. It was fine.

Come here for a sec.

What?

What's this for?

Can I ask you somethin'?

Yeah.

What would you do if you knew
someone who had an addiction,

and you knew that they weren't doing
everything they could to deal with it?

Uh, I don't know.

I guess I'd, um, just
try to listen to them

and... to be there for
them as much as I could.

I was just thinki" about my dad.

Thanks. That's cool.
Thanks. See you later.

Wait a minute, hold on.
It's Carol Brady! Hey, Carol.

Hey, losers! What's goin' on?

I'm sorry. "Losers"? I didn't
quite... You called me what?

Where are you goin'?

What do you care?

What do you got there...
shopping bags? Nice.

It's Martha Stewart.

I'm a big fan. Love
your magazine.

That whole thing you did
about oatmeal... fantastic.

What's your problem?

Nothing, FFOE...
Former Friend of Earl's.

Are you joking around?

No, I'm not joking. Before
you ask why, here's the deal.

You sold out. Earl...

No, I'm gonna say these things.

You walk around making a
lot of noise like you the shiznits,

but when it comes down to it, you'd rather
wear a housecoat than leather panties.

I don't know...

You're boring, all right?

You found a guy with
a little square footage

and you bailed the scene,
which is a defining moment.

Which makes me say, you
wanna know where we're goin'?

To a club I bet you
never even heard of.

I'll see you later.

I'm sorry about that.

You don't agree
with him, do you?

Hi.

What are you doing?

Makin' oatmeal. Why?

Listen to me. We have to go out.

OK. Yeah.

Let me just finish
the oatmeal first.

Noel, something
just occurred to me.

I've changed.

Aren't you gonna say anything?

You've changed a little
bit. I love it. It's great.

No, not in a good way.

I've become... I've
become... boring.

I'm-I'm... I'm a shell
of my former self.

When you left for the store,
you were in a really good mood.

What happened to that?

I need to party.
I need to dance.

Let's go to a rave or something.

Do I have to remind you?
I just lost a testicle, OK?

The absolute last place I'm
going tonight is a mosh pit.

Listen...

For the last month,

I have been nothing but
supportive and giving and kind,

but it just occurred to
me that I can't remember

the last time I had
my hand stamped.

My ears haven't rung
from loud music in a month.

My life... it's-it's boring.

You know, I'll tell you what.

We'll throw some raisins
in here, some cinnamon,

we'll mix it up a little bit.

I'm going out.

Hey, we rented a movie.
What are you talking about?

When I'm 40 years old and
hunched over from osteoporosis,

I'll rent movies,

but tonight I'm wild, I'm
young, and I'm wearing leather.

Her name is Sabina Briscoe.

She graduated in '96.

She was enrolled in the Columbia medical
program this semester but dropped out.

She claims the two-month-long
relationship with Professor McGrath

while she was a freshman

caused her "severe
emotional distress."

She wants him fired.

How did she get my name?

It seems that McGrath's
former assistant

was sympathetic to Ms. Briscoe.

She gave her the
names of other women

she believed had
been... involved with him.

Ms. Tyler...

I want to be up front with you.

Peter's a friend.

This, as you can imagine,

is a difficult position
in which to be.

What exactly is her complaint?

That, uh,

"Professor McGrath used
his position of authority

"to coerce Miss
Briscoe and others

"into sexual relationships,

"and that, in exchange
for those favors,

he gave them higher grades."

You're unbelievable.

It's not bad, right?

You only had it for a day.

I know, but I told you, I
took Figures and Motion.

Yeah, so did I.

I tried to make him
a little more human.

I put a collar on his
shirt and fixed his shoes

and made him a bit more fluid.

Just making drawings
move, it's like art that's alive.

I love it.

It looks pretty good
against that background, too.

Your backgrounds are
great. They're not horrible.

We should do
something else together.

Yeah. Oh, hey.

What did the dean
say? I'm not gonna do it.

You're not gonna
talk to the committee?

No, there's no point.

Whatever happened
between this girl and McGrath

is totally different from
what happened with me.

You know who it is? Remember
that Sabina? That girl that we met?

Yeah, she's the one
who filed the claim.

She did have this weird...

Vibe. Yes.

I remember. What'd she say?

She said it was coercion, that he
forced her into a relationship with him.

That's not what happened
with me. I pursued him.

You don't look very relieved.

Well, while all
this is happening,

this whole time,

all I can think about
and all I can feel

is how much I miss Tracy.

You could call him.

He doesn't want to hear from me.

Hey.

Hey. I was actually
looking for you.

Um...

I wanted to talk to
you for a second.

Do you have a second? Uh-huh.

I really don't know how I'm gonna
say it, so I'm just gonna say it.

I really think you gotta break
it off with this guy James.

I really do.

Ben, I appreciate this.

I do. Um...

But just because you know some of
my secrets doesn't mean you know me.

I hear you talk about
him every week,

and every time you talk
about him, it gets worse.

Have you ever had an addiction?

Um...

I mean, I don't mean
the occasional drink

or chocolate or...

I mean a no-joke addiction.

No, I haven't.

Hey, you. Hey, baby.

Um, Ben, this is James.
James, this is Ben.

Hey. How are you?

How you doin'?
Good. How are you?

I'm good. We goin'?

Uh, yeah.

And thank you.
I'll see you later.

OK.

Excuse me. Elena Tyler? Yes?

I'm Sabina Briscoe.

Can I talk to you for a minute

about Professor McGrath?

Peter took advantage of
me and others, including you.

Peter never took
advantage of me.

So you won't talk
to the committee?

There's no reason for me to.

If so many women went through
this, why aren't they coming forward?

Because they're afraid of going
up against a tenured professor.

Anyone who took his classes

is either applying to or
attending medical school.

They're making a choice.

Look, having someone else talk to
the school so I'm not alone in this,

it would make
all the difference.

I need your help.

OK, this is my situation.

My relationship with Peter
was totally consensual.

I was the one who
wanted the relationship.

That's what he does. He makes
you feel like you're going after him.

But it doesn't matter because the
university has a no-tolerance policy.

But the difference is I
don't want to get Peter fired.

Ever since my relationship
with Peter ended,

I have had the
increasing realization

that what happened
between us was not just wrong,

it was harassment.

I appreciate what you're saying.

I just don't feel that
Peter did anything to me.

I was the one who
wanted the relationship,

and sometimes I think it would
have never happened at all if...

if he hadn't been going through a
difficult time and needed someone.

His ex-wife was sick, right?

Yeah.

His ex-wife is not sick.

She was never sick.

She was never his ex-wife.

I got that story, too.

You think about what I'm saying.

Just... really think about it.

Please.

OK, I'm a master at the
backgrounds. I mean, we all know that.

But what about the animation?

Is it good enough
to show Morrison?

Um, OK, can I just
ask you a question,

and you promise
you won't get mad?

What?

Um, is that an elephant?

Right there?

Are you kidding me?

What about the
concept? Just the concept!

Yeah. Yeah, a cartoon
about a boy on a farm.

I li... I like it.
You don't like it.

No.

How can you not
like the concept?

Um, can I tell
you an idea I had?

You have an idea for a cartoon?

Yeah, what?

Um...

OK, it's, uh...

It would be called, um,
Loser Pet Store or something,

and it's about all of the
animals in the pet store

that no one really buys,

so they're the loser animals.

The loser animals.

Yeah, like, there's
this one character

who is this poodle,
and he's insane.

He just got neutered, and
he's convinced he's a cat.

A cat.

I made sketches, if
you want to look at them.

It's just like... look
at, if you want.

If that's... you
know. What's this?

That's a snake who thinks he's
in this really great relationship

with this other
snake, totally in love,

but it turns out it's his tail.

He's in this
relationship with his tail.

Aren't snakes
just one long tail?

Um, and... but there's one
other character that I thought of,

which would be this really
pissed-off alcoholic goldfish,

and he always wants his
water changed to Smirnoff.

Hmm.

Uh, you think we could get
Javier to do the voice of the poodle?

You're mocking
me. You don't like it.

No, I'm not mocking you.

Look, it's better than
my lame farm boy thing.

Really? Yeah.

Can I run with this?

With the Loser Pet Store? Yeah.

Yeah. OK.

Oh, yeah, run with it.
You can do whatever you...

OK. I'll take it to
Morrison. Thank you.

Yeah! I'm glad you like it.

I do. I'll see ya. OK.

Hey. Hey.

Uh, I've been thinking

about what you were
saying about James.

Yeah?

And, uh, he's a problem,

and I don't know
what to do next.

I met James last year in London.

At the pub.

He was, uh, he was
there with his brother Tripp.

I kinda came to
New York for him.

You know, I'd had crushes
on boys before and stuff,

but James is like...

I mean, he smiles at me,

and I know I'm in, like,
serious, serious trouble.

He-He's so charmin', you know?

Everybody loves him.
My mum adores him.

I mean, she hasn't got a clue
what he's really about, but...

And she still calls
herself psychic.

You're kind of
the first person...

that's ever cared enough to
say anything, so thank you.

You don't have to thank me.

And I know how hard
it is to keep it a secret,

so I really, really do appreciate
you not sayin' anything to Felicity.

Yeah, well, you're
tryi" to get some help,

so I'm not gonna say
anything. I really won't.

But does James
know that you're here?

No.

Uh...

When I, uh, asked you before

if you'd ever had an addiction,

I wasn't talking about dr*gs.

I was talking about him.

I have this horrible feeling

that givin' up coke's
gonna be really, really hard.

But giving up James,
I can't even imagine.

Tracy. Hey.

Hey. Um, what's up?

Um... so what'd you get?

Um, 78. What'd you get?

95. Wow!

Yeah. Good goin'.

Yeah. Well, I gotta go.

Um, how are you?

I'm fine. I gotta go.

OK.

Everything good I've gotten in
the last two years, I don't deserve.

Elena, you're being crazy.

Am I? I didn't deserve that
grade I got from McGrath.

I saw it. He changed it.

It was a B-minus
before we slept together

and an A afterwards,
and I didn't say anything.

And based on that grade, I
got into upper-division courses

and then I got on
the Dean's List.

Wait a second. You didn't get all of
those things because of one grade.

It's not like you
were failing that class.

If I hadn't gotten that grade, I never
would've gotten into those courses.

And I never would
have met Tracy. So?

Because once we started working
together, my grades sh*t up.

And I never would
have gotten that chance

if I hadn't taken that grade.

So what it comes down to is,
I'm not who everybody thinks I am.

I'm a fraud. Elena, come on.

And that thing that
happened to that girl Sabina...

That's exactly what
happened to me.

So what are you thinkin',

that you might testify
against him now?

What if this grade
thing comes out?

My teachers will know.

It'll be on my transcript.

I'll never get into
medical school.

Yes.

Hello there.

Oh, hey.

Hey, have you, uh... have you
ever met Earl? What's up, buddy?

No, I don't think I've had
the immense pleasure.

OK. What's your problem?

Where have you been?

Out.

Out? All day and all night?

Yeah, I told you
I was going out.

Yeah, but with him?

Excuse me. Standing right here.

I'm sorry if I couldn't spend
every waking second with you,

but I had a life
before you, you know.

Oh, congratulations. OK, listen.

I'm not asking you go to back
in time and erase what you did.

I thought we were a couple.

We're a couple losers that
sit around and do nothing.

Hey, man, I heard about
the whole dealie with the...

That's gotta... Sorry.

Could you leave, please?

Uh, all right.

See ya later? Nice meeting you.

Goodbye.

What's going on?

I mean, it's like you're this
entirely different person.

No, actually, this is who I am,
but, see, I've changed for you.

I've-I've worked so we could be a
couple, but have you done anything?

Have you tried at all?
No, and I'm sick of it.

I lost a testicle!

That ball can
only get you so far!

Hello? Hey, we're back here.

Hey, what's goin' on?

So guess what. What?

We have a new roommate. Molly's
boyfriend's moving in for a little while.

She's had a boyfriend for, like,
two months and hasn't said anything.

Can you believe that? Hey, man.

Hey. How are you?

Good. How you doing?

Hey, you. Hey.

You know, I understand
raising the rent.

I mean, if I owned the
place, I'd do the same thing.

But $1,200 a month?

It wasn't that
bad. Yeah, it was.

I'll be right back.

Don't listen to her.
This place was a mess.

I mean, come on. The
bathtub was in the kitchen.

Actually, Ben and I had
an apartment like that.

Well, almost.

The cockroaches were
huge. I hate those things.

Hey, what the hell's going on?

We had a long talk. I thought
you were gonna break up with him.

No, I said I was gonna talk to
him. And we've made a plan.

He's gonna come with me to my
meetin' today at the clinic at three.

Wait, listen,
listen, listen to me.

My dad, he would
pull the same crap.

He'd get drunk. My mom
would thr*aten to leave him.

He'd promise he'd never
touch a bottle of Scotch again,

and then the next week,
the same cycle all over again.

That's not what this is.

I really think it is
the same thing.

It is.

Hey, what's going on?

Nothing. We're just, you know,

talking about all four
of us going out tonight.

That could be fun. Yeah.

Um, listen, you know how Elena's

kind of going through
this tough time right now?

Yeah. I was thinking
of maybe telling Tracy.

Yeah, it could be
good. I guess, yeah.

That's what I was thinking.

Hey, by the way,
our room's fine.

Oh, thank you.

I'm sleeping at
your place tonight.

Good. OK.

Listen, you're right.

You're right!

I've been a selfish
pig. I have been.

And all month long, you've been
doing nothing but devote yourself to me.

And I've done nothing in
return. But you know what?

That's all about to change because
tomorrow night you and I are going out.

"Catch a Rising Star."

Yeah, it's a comedy
club. I know what it is.

How is this you doing
something for me?

Well, you wanted to go
out, so we're going out.

This isn't where I want to go.
This isn't where anyone wants to go.

Why don't you give me a hint,
then? Where do you want to go?

The Fetish Ball.

What? I went last year.

It was un-frickin'-believable.
It's tonight at a*mo.

It's tonight? Yeah. I'm
going as a pregnant woman.

Oh, my God, you could
go as a giant stiletto heel.

Yeah, I can't go
tonight. It's the Sabbath.

You're kidding, right?

No, it's Friday night, Megan.
You know that I'm observing.

Yeah, and you know what I'm
observing? Megan, it's my religion.


It's Friday night, Sean! This is
the problem in our relationship.

You're willing to
do something for me

as long as it's
convenient for you!

For me? This has
nothing to do with me.

This is about God,
OK? This is his night.

Well, why don't you tell God

that your ex-girlfriend is spending
his night at the Fetish Ball?

Hey.

You wanna come in?

Yeah. OK.

Thanks. Please.

Thanks.

Um, listen, I know, uh,

what's going on with you
two is none of my business.

There's nothing
going on between us.

I know, um...

but there's a lot
goin' on with Elena.

She's really...

She's really not handling
this McGrath thing very well.

Is it true she took grades?

She didn't take grades.

There was one grade. She
didn't ask for it. He gave it to her.

And she accepted.

And now she's suffering for it.

Look, that's why I'm here.
I'm just worried about her.

Look, she was holding
this thing in for two years.

It's finally out, and
she feels like a phony,

like somehow being with
McGrath, getting that grade

made everything
else in her life possible,

including you.

She wouldn't have gotten into O
Chem if it weren't for that grade.

Why are you telling me this?

Because I've
tried to talk to her,

but it didn't help,

and I think hearing
from you might.

Oh, um, uh, I'm sorry.

Look, I miss you guys,
and I miss her in a way, too,

but... I can't, no.

I'm sorry.

She needs you.

Hey, don't you think the
Molly thing is really weird?

Why? Just, I mean... Thanks.

She's been dating
this guy for two months

and she hasn't said a thing?

Don't you think that's a little
bizarre? What did she say?

Just that they wanted to wait to
tell people until it was more settled.

I've been thinking about it,

and she could have introduced
him as a friend, anything.

Yeah, it is a little weird,
yeah. It's weird, right?

Yes, it is. Thank you.

What time is it
there? Ten to three.

Ten to three? I gotta
go. Can you cover me?

Yeah, where are you going?

I have, uh, like, um...

My Poli Sci professor was out sick
last week, so I got a makeup lecture.

A makeup lecture?

I know, it's kind of
intense. Intense guy.

Can you cover for me? I'll
see you tonight at the loft.

OK. OK.

OK, thanks.

OK, I didn't know the rest was
gonna be on here, but it is, so...

Hey. Hi.

You got a minute?
Uh, yeah, sure.

Sorry. How's it goin'?

I'm OK. Thanks.

I know what's going
on with McGrath.

How do you know?

I just do.

And I wanted to tell you

that I didn't get into McGrath's
seminar freshman year.

You didn't?

I'm serious.

You should've been
accepted instead of me.

Elena... you're the
smartest person I know.

Look, I am not. Yes, you are.

OK, whatever.

I'm pissed as hell at you.

You think I'd be telling
you this if I didn't think it?

It's not like the smartest people
can't do the stupidest things, now.

Don't start feeling
sorry for yourself,

imagining you don't deserve the
things you've done the last two years.

Felicity talked to you, right?

If testifying against McGrath
is the right thing to do,

you can't not do it

out of fear of being found out,

because you got it all.

Not everything is cool with us.

It's not water under the bridge.

As a matter of fact,
there's no bridge,

not yet.

But I'm a man of faith, and
God's about forgiveness,

so I'm working on it.

Thanks.

Come on, you.
We're gonna be late.

Um, that's OK, I...
Just gimme a second.

Uh, Morrison loved it.

Loved... Loved Loser
Pet Store? Yeah.

Oh, my God, he
loved Loser Pet Store.

I went to him after class
and told him about it.

He wants to take it to Ice Box.

No! Oh, my God, that's so
exciting. I'm so happy for you.

Happy for us, I mean,
because we did it, you know.

And we should... Look,
we should keep doin' it.

I wanna do Loser
Pet Store with you.

I mean, if Ice Box
decides they want it.

You, um... But I mean...

We'll do it together, you know?

And it was your idea anyways.

Yeah, but you're the one who
actually did something with it.

We both did. It's ours.
So... So let's do it together.

Really? Yeah.

Um, oh, my God.

Yeah! I would love
to do that with you.

Good. Good.

Hey, man... Hey.

Good to see you.

Hello?

Ben? I'm in here.

Hey. Hey. Look at this.

Whose hair is that?
I guess it's Molly's.

Is she here? No, but I mean...

She could have at
least cleaned it up.

Don't you think
this is weird? Yeah.

You know what? I just... I really don't
want this guy staying here anymore.

What are you talking about?

There's something about
him I don't like, all right?

Wait, Ben. What are you doing?

Molly's... Molly's in
my Al-Anon group.

Why didn't you tell me?

I wanted to, but that's the
whole point, that it's anonymous.

OK, I don't understand.
James goes to the...

No, she just... She
talks about him a lot.

And...

He and Molly...

He's using cr*ck and
I don't know what else.

And she's... Well, she's usin'. I don't
know what she's usin', but she's usin'.

So you knew that my roommate
was doing serious dr*gs,

and you didn't tell me?

I'm sorry. I should've
told you before. I'm sorry.

Oh, my God.

I mean...

This is crazy.

I know it's crazy.
Uh... this guy James.

You know that's the reason
she came to New York?

I don't know anything about him, but I
don't want him living in this apartment.

No, and we'll tell him that as soon as he
gets back here. We're gonna kick him out.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
I should've told you before.

It's OK.

What do we do with the g*n?

Did Professor McGrath promise you a
better grade if you went out with him?

No.

He never hinted
at that in any way?

No.

When you were in his
class, did Professor McGrath

initiate a personal
relationship?

No.

We had a personal relationship,
but he didn't initiate it.

I don't know if this matters
or if it'll affect what happens.

I came on to him. He
didn't come on to me.

And he accepted your initiative?

Yes.

In other words, while you
were an 18-year-old freshman,

you and then-44-year-old
Professor McGrath

had a sexual relationship?

I didn't know his
age at the time.

Nevertheless, you did have a
sexual relationship with Dr. McGrath?

Yes.

Excuse me, Dean? Yes?

There's, uh, one more thing that
didn't come up in the interview.

The grade I received
in McGrath's seminar...

I didn't earn that grade.

You said he never
suggested an exchange.

Yes, sir, but that doesn't
mean that one didn't happen.

Elena, the records show
you're an exceptional student.

The records are wrong, and I can't
let this go on until I set it straight.

I'd like to take
that class again.

With your course load, your
other work is bound to suffer.

I don't care, as
long as it's my work.

You don't have to do this,
Elena, not for the administration.

I know.

I need to do it for me.

What the hell are you doing?

Rubbing your belly.

Did I ask you to do that?
Did I invite you to do that?

No. No, I didn't.

So take your hand away, turn
around, and get outta my life.

What?

Nothing, nothing. Welcome back.

I didn't go anywhere.

This Sean thing, your whole
brush with the bourgeoisie...

I am just glad it is over.

Well, I'm glad you're glad.

I do not blame you for trying
out the creature comforts.

Can we just drop this?

In the end, we both know this guy
would bore you to death. What's up?

What?

You're wearing
nipple rings. Yeah, so?

You're criticizing my boyfriend,
and you're wearing nipple rings.

Wait. Boyfriend? I
thought you guys broke up.

It's what we do. It's our fetish.
Megan, this guy is a loser.

Hey, excuse me.
I don't date losers.

I just hang out with them.

Hi.

Hey.

Um, I... I testified
against McGrath,

and he's... he's gonna be
fired over what happened.

You feel bad about it?

Well, I mean, I feel bad
that it happened at all.

Um, about what
happened yesterday,

about what you
said to me, you know,

about, um...

telling the truth and...

and not being
afraid of who I am...

Thanks.

You have no reason
to doubt yourself.

I miss you.

I hope so.

Um, OK.

OK.

Is Sean here?

Uh, no, but do you want
to see somethin' cool?

What? Look.

OK, he's delusional,
he's half-blind,

his fur keeps falling out, and
he keeps gluing it back on,

and he's tellin' all the other animals
that he's been to all these places,

but the truth is, he's
never been anywhere,

and the only one who knows his
secret is the Chihuahua in the next cage.

That's the cool thing?

It's gonna be animated.

Where did Sean go? I...

Hey, I rented some...

Tell me you didn't just
wear that to temple.

No, I wasn't at temple.

I was at the Fetish
Ball, looking for you.

Oh, that's nice.

No, Sean, that's so sweet.

I don't want to talk right
now, OK? I just wanna change.

Oh, ass-less pants. Yeah.

Sean...

You know what? I gotta
go to bed. Let's go to bed.

I don't know if I should
be angry or worried.

Come on, let's go
to bed. Help me.

Hey. Hey.

Hey.

Where's, uh... Where's James?

Oh, um, he just went back to the
apartment to get the last of his stuff.

But I told him not to make too
much noise when he comes back.

And thank you so much
for lettin' him stay here.

I mean, he loves you
guys. Felicity knows.

Felicity knows what?

She knows everything.

She knows the things we
talked about in secret, Ben,

the things we
talked about in trust.

You were supposed to help me,
Ben. What are you talkin' about?

I was waiting for you today at the
rehab center. You never showed up.

I know how that looks, but
just give it time, and you'll see...

No, you want to
know what I think?

I think he's dealing again, and I
think you know he's dealing again.

No. No, he's not. He
told me that he's not.

Guys, I'm so tired.
Um, it's really late.

Can I just... Can we
just get some sleep,

and then tomorrow...
tomorrow morning,

we'll talk about
it, all four of us...

No, that's not gonna happen,
'cause he's not gonna stay here.

This isn't your apartment, Ben.

He's got a g*n.

Do you know that? Do
you know he's got a g*n?

Molly, I don't feel comfortable
with him staying here...

So not only do you
betray people's trust,

you look through their
personal things as well?

Nobody was looking through
his personal things, all right?

You gotta go back to the clinic.

I don't care if it's with James
or not, but you gotta go back.

And what if I don't?

Then you can't
stay here, either.

Wait, Ben... No, I'm sorry.

She said she was gonna
go, and she didn't go.

And you're the person
that talks about trust.

Is-Is that what
you want, Felicity?

You want me to go?

No, I...

I want you to get help.

And that's how you're gonna
help me, by kicking me out?

No, Molly, wait.

You know what's funny, guys?

You're standing there,
and you're judging me

like I'm the person that's
done something wrong,

like I'm the person
with the problem.

And this is the kind
of people that you are.
