No, I know, annie,
But the restaurant's closed monday anyway,
And besides, it's my stuff we're moving.
Should I say in the ad that there are 4 girls
In the rental already,
Or is that like, "calling all hound dogs,
Come in please, hound dogs"?
Sorry, stupid question.
Uh...right.
That's right. So by the time you get
Home that night,
I will basically be moved in.
Yeah.
Ok.
Ok. Me, too.
Ok. Bye. Ok, um...
So, explain to me again why it has
To be a guy.
3 People, 6 bedrooms, and dan's roommate just flaked.
Huh. Well... What kind of hound dog are you
Looking for exactly?
Well, we're going to be spending
All summer together,
So...somebody normal, you know, friendly,
Responsible,
And...it wouldn't hurt if he's easy to look at.
Hope you don't mind, 'cause mercy didn't
Write it on the order,
But I put your dressing on the side.
The vinaigrette's a little oily here,
And I just thought...
Uh, that's...
That is so responsible of you. (Giggles)
And friendly, don't you think?
Thanks, eric.
Uh, I think table 4 needs some water.
Well. What's his story?
And don't leave anything out.
Well, he's going to art school
Or something.
He's only been working here
A few weeks, so...
So he's in school?
Well, that means he gets a summer vacation,
Which means he might be interested
In a beach house rental.
I don't know, sarah.
I mean, eric?
Why not, what's wrong with him?
Well, with a name like eric?
He's got to be... Some kind of
Prepster type,
Some kind of... Rich, overeducated,
Every-hair-in-place kind of loser,
You know?
You're out of your mind.
Hi, I'm sarah.
Nice meeting you.
I'm looking for a roommate.
Would you be interested in taking over the place?
Hey.
I'm just about to make a dinner reservation
For, uh...
For the kirsten and paul thing tonight,
Any preferences?
Yes, I'll hold.
Excuse me, sir.
Do you drive a white ford pickup?
Daphne, why are you dressed like that?
You did read the liability waiver
On the back of your valet ticket,
Sir, didn't you?
Wait a second, did you just get a job parking
Cars or something?
Because I'm sorry to report
That your vehicle's been stolen.
Daphne, come on, what's going on here?
Oh!
Work with me here, charlie.
You're supposed to say, "oh, my god!"
And then you run shrieking over to the window
To look for your car.
And then the second your back is turned,
I go...
Ta-da!
Surprise!
Oh. I, uh...
I thought maybe you were getting
Into a different line of work or something.
No.
I have this bachelor party
At the oracle club tomorrow night.
And I'm telling you, these fraternity guys
Have seen it all.
The second a motorcycle cop
Or an ems worker walks through the door,
They know exactly what's coming.
Ergo...
This little getup.
Oh, I have a nun's breakaway habit, too.
Want to hear the patter I worked up for that one?
Hey.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Sorry you had to go and get those.
Well, you can't drive. Someone had to do it.
What do you need?
Water. I can get it.
No, just sit there. I'll get it.
You're supposed to stay off your feet
For a while.
Forget it. I'll do it.
Griffin, would you just--
Hey, you went and got my prescription for me. Unh!
You stayed with me in the hospital waiting room
For 5 hours,
And you got my crutches, so I can--
Ah!
Griffin... Griffin, please just sit down.
Look, the last thing we need is for you
To, like,
Injure yourself more.
Ow...
Yeah, right.
You got stuff to do.
No, I didn't mean--
No, it's...fine. It's...
You know, it's reality, so...
That's like 3 days old. Don't eat that.
I'm hungry.
Well, then I'll make you some dinner.
All we've got in the refrigerator
Is some slimy lettuce and milk.
Griffin, I can't...
I have to go to the library tonight.
Go. That's... That's fine.
I'm fine. It's...
I'm not really hungry anyway.
I'm sor...
San francisco general. It's a fellowship.
Paul's a pediatric neurologist.
Wow. Sf general, that is...
Their emergency room is, like, the best
In the city, man.
We do get pretty high marks.
I was doing this gig last year,
And I sprained my ankle jumping
On this piano
In 6-inch stiletto heels.
Stupid, right?
And I got rushed over there,
And everyone was so nice.
The doctors, the orderlies.
Even the maintenance guys
Were sweethearts.
The salmon looks good, don't you think?
So, daphne, do you see yourself
Doing this, uh...
Kind of work long-term?
I don't really think about anything
Long-term.
I'm having fun right now.
That's all I can say, right?
I bet you run into a lot of creeps,
Though, huh?
Well, I ran into charlie, didn't i?
(Laughter)
But actually, I meet a lot of really
Great people, like,
I was doing this bachelor party
In hayward,
And the best man turned out to be
This dermatologist
Who did this, like, laser technique,
And he got rid of this tattoo
I had on my ass for, like, free.
Should we, um...
Should we split an appetizer?
A tattoo of what? If...i may ask.
Oh.
Bashful.
Bashful?
Yeah, you know, like, as in the 7 dwarfs.
I've always had this thing for bashful.
That's--ha ha!
Well, ironic.
Ironic how? How do you mean?
Just... You know, bashful
For someone like you.
Someone like me?
No, what I think kirsten
Is saying is...
Someone who... So obviously
Isn't...bashful.
Why don't I get a waiter over here,
And we'll have him tell us the specials?
Excuse me, waiter?
Claudia?
Huh?
There's something I need to talk
To you about.
What?
Well...
There is, like, these events
In a young person's life...
That are sort of like milestones, right?
Right.
Some are sort of...
Existential, solitary events...
And some just...
Just unequivocally require the participation
Of 2 people.
Like, for instance,
A boyfriend
And a girlfriend.
Jamie, what are you...
What are you getting at?
Well...
Like, you know in the movies...
Like, you see, like, cars and--
And...drinking
And, like, these crazy nights?
Well...
I kind of thought it--
It wouldn't have to be like that.
I mean...
It could just be mellow, you know? I--
I...
I can't do it!
I can't...
I can't do it. I can't do it.
I'm, like, barely out of a training bra here.
I haven't even gotten my learner's permit yet!
I'm...i'm...
Claudia--
I'm 15 years old!
Fine, fine. You're right.
You know, i--i thought you would feel that way.
Proms are stupid.
Proms?
I mean, who wants to go
To some stupid, outdated dj dance...
Did you say proms?
With, like, spinning disco balls?
Me.
I do.
Is that--is that what you were...
You do?
But...but you just said that--
I was wrong.
I was very, very wrong.
Very very very very very wrong.
Oh...
You realize this is insane.
What? I have too many sweaters,
Don't i?
Yes, you do, but that's not...
No, I'm talking about...
You moving in here.
What...
Are you having second thoughts?
No.
No, not at all.
No. It's just...
Everything's...
I'm moving, and sarah's going away...
My head's spinning a little.
Because of sarah?
Uh, no. No.
It's not just that. It's...
It's the whole thing, you know, it's...
Moving in together...
Is a little scary.
But, hey...
I want to do this, ok?
I do.
(Telephone rings)
Here. Watch this.
Annie and bailey's residence.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello!
Nobody.
Yeah, it's probably just somebody
Selling something.
Well, if it's the closet organizers,
I hope they call back.
You know what, let's forget
About the closets
Because there is plenty of room
Under the bed.
Come here, I'll show you.
(Telephone ringing)
Annie on disk: hi, we're not here.
Leave a message.
(Beep)
(Click)
(Dial tone)
Hey...
What...
Guess I deserved that.
That would be $2.00, ma'am.
Just not your day, huh?
It's not my decade.
(Bells, alarms going off)
Hey, ha ha!
What? I didn't steal anything.
But you're about to, pal.
You're our 1,000th customer
Of the month.
You just won a freebie
To the big orange.
Hey, this is him right here. Ha ha!
Congratulations, man.
You still want the groceries?
What do you say? Paper or plastic, huh?
You're gonna have a great time down there.
Aw, man!
Is that place overrated or what?
I mean, you know how much effort
It takes
To actually ruin a baked potato?
And the service, man!
It felt like we were in there
Forever.
That's an understatement.
Well...
Next time we'll try someplace else.
Gee, charlie, could we? Maybe one of those
Greek restaurants
Where they have the plate-smashing stuff,
Or...
Oh, hey, maybe we could check out one of
Those drag cabaret acts
Down at north beach.
Are you serious?
Yeah, because the next time we decide
To spend an evening with your friends,
I'd really like it if we went someplace
Where I was not the entertainment.
Ohh...
What are you talking about?
Oh, like it wasn't totally obvious?
Those guys treated me like I was part
Of a freak show.
Their mouths were hanging open so wide
Their chins were practically
In their soup.
You're upset that they asked questions
About your job?
I mean... You have an unusual
Occupation, daphne.
They were curious.
Yeah, like people are curious
About mad cow disease.
Look, if you're going to be...
Overly sensitive about what you do
For a living--
Hey,
I'm ok with what I do.
I like what I do.
You were the one that looked like
You wanted
To just climb underneath
The tablecloth.
Some help you were.
What are you talking about?
You know how many times I tried changing
The subject?
Exactly, like you were ashamed of me
Or something.
Whoa.
Let me get this straight.
You're pissed off that they wanted
To talk about your stripping,
And you're pissed off at me
That I tried talking about
Something else?
What do you want from me, daphne?
I want you to defend me! Duh!
I want to feel like you're on my side,
Like what I do is a part of who I am,
And that you are ok with that,
And who the hell cares what anybody else thinks.
And I want you to let them know
That I have other incredible qualities
Besides being able to unsnap my bra with my teeth.
And you know what, charlie, if that's not
How you feel, then...
Well, it would've been nice
If you'd just...
I don't know...
Lied?
Hey, uh...bailey...
Yeah?
I just want to say,
I really hope this whole sarah thing
Is ok,
'Cause, I mean... If you're at all
Not cool with--
Eric, it's fine. It's fine, man.
You know, one minute I'm your employee,
The next, I'm your tenant.
My...
Wait a second, what? My tenant?
Oh, man...
She didn't say anything?
No.
God...
This is...you see, sarah, she just thought,
With you moving upstairs...
Uh-huh.
I get it.
You know what? Forget it.
If I didn't have to get off my cousin's couch, i...
But obviously you have a problem with it, so--
No.
No, not at all. I don't--
I don't have a problem at all.
I just...
I don't want you to...
To make a mistake. A mistake?
How's that?
Well...moving in with somebody
You hardly know.
I mean, sarah's a really
Great person,
She is. But...
She's got some habits.
Habits?
Nothing that's...
Really all that bad, you know,
Just...
Clipping her toenails
On the couch...
Sweating to the oldies really,
Really loud...
And conserving toilet water
With that whole "yellow is mellow,
Brown goes down" routine.
Uh-huh.
Actually...
You know what? Forget everything
I just said,
Because she hasn't done all that stuff
In a long time
Since I got on her case about it,
So...
I think you should take the room.
Really.
You sure this wasn't a mistake?
Maybe we should've hit the links or something.
No. This was great.
Remember, you're talking to a guy
Who spent the last 6 months parked
In front of the tv in his bathrobe.
Yeah, well...
If racquetball doesn't keep you young,
I guarantee you that girlfriend
Of yours will.
Daphne?
Yeah. She's great. Really great.
Never a dull moment.
Paul, you didn't, uh...
You didn't have a bachelor party
Before you got married, did you?
Probably not. I mean you don't strike me
As the type--
Sure I did.
Really?
With, you know... Entertainment?
I'm doing my rounds, right?
I get a 911 page to the iso ward.
They wheel in this body, and just
As I go to examine it,
This woman tears off the sheet,
Leaps off the gurney and starts dancing
To sexual healing.
Wow. Sounds wild.
Are you kidding?
A bunch of dweebs in lab coats standing around,
Hands in their pockets,
Looking like they'd rather be retaking their m-cats.
The whole point of this is to embarrass your buddy,
Not paw some poor girl
Who's trying to work her way through cosmetology school.
Why, you've never been to one?
Actually, no.
But, I mean, you watch enough
Tv talk shows,
You kind of get the impression
That they all end up with the vice squad
Making arrests.
Ha ha ha!
I bet if you went to one, you'd be
Disappointed.
They're a lot tamer than you think.
So, nat...
What are we talking about...
Doing at home, me and you
And your mom?
You moving in.
That's right.
And what happens if you feel funny
About that at all?
You won't move in yet.
And what if I don't move in yet?
Everybody will be ok.
Nobody will get mad.
Are you sure, sweetie?
Because if you don't feel ok or you
Feel funny at all,
I understand. I do.
Can I ask you a question?
Of course you can. Anything you want.
Will you still kiss me good night every night,
Even though you won't be leaving?
Of course I will.
Come here, you.
Ee-unh!
Let's get you home.
Ee-unh...
Put on your seat belt.
Look at this. Every room in the hotel
Looks out over the ocean.
They've got a swimming pool
And a health club.
And this is, like, a major place.
People pay, like, hundreds of bucks
To stay at a place like that.
Kind of just fell into our lap.
But it's this weekend?
Yeah, unless we want to wait 3 months
For the next opening.
So, there I was in the supermarket...
All these people were...going wild,
Lights were all flashing,
And I thought...
"Hmm...
Something good can happen to us."
Griffin, there's no way I can go
This weekend.
I mean, professor sinclair
Has a deadline with his publisher
Next weekend,
And I promised him I'd finish
That bibliography
By monday.
And what about your leg?
Right.
Fine. I... I should've known.
I can't believe you don't
Understand that.
I--i do.
I do.
I just--i thought that you would see this
The same way I did.
You know, like this...
Totally great thing.
If you won't say yes to this...
You might as well admit we're never going to
Allow anything good
To happen to us.
Well, maybe I can, uh...
Do an all-nighter tonight.
'Cause, I mean, you're right,
We should do it...
'Cause otherwise...
(Stripper music playing)
Yeah, oh, man! Whoo!
(Whistles) yeah!
(Cheers, catcalls)
Hey, I got a real big back seat
If you want to check it out.
Just keep your seat belt on.
Ooh, I'm an excellent tipper,
I swear to god.
Hoo hoo hoo!
Ooh, come here--
No, no, no. Stay in your chair, stuart.
Come on-- no, no, no, no, no.
You don't want to mess with the valet.
Oh, yeah, I do.
Come on, no touching.
Oh, why not?
'Cause those are the rules. No touching.
Oh, baby, screw the rules!
Hey!
Hey, you heard what the lady
Said, right?
There's no touching.
Who the hell are you?
Just sit in the chair.
Charlie--
Oh. Are you going to make me?
Sit in the chair, or she's gone.
Charlie, back off.
Hey, somebody get this guy out of here.
Back off, charlie!
Charlie, what are you doing?
Just get your stuff and let's go.
What?
Let's go.
Ok, kiddo, you got that meat loaf
Mashed up real good?
We don't want any air pockets in there.
I think it's ready.
Ok, good work. Why don't you go
Wash your hands off?
Ok.
There you go.
So how was work today? Bust up any fraud rings?
(Doorbell rings)
I wish. All I did was catch some
Little old lady
Who was trying to tell me that 5 years worth
Of dings and scratches
All happened in yesterday's
Fender bender--
Bailey: so what did you do?
Oh, my god...
Did you slap her around a little?
Annie?
Who's...
Annie...
What's going on here?
Daddy?
Daddy, daddy, daddy...
Hey, sweetheart.
Oh, my god.
You're so grown-up.
I missed you so much, daddy.
Are you gonna stay with us?
Daddy, I'm so happy to see you!
Stop--stop dragging me!
We'll take my truck, all right? We'll pick
Your car later.
What the hell are you doing?
I'm getting you out of here.
Let go of me! Do you realize
That I'm probably going to get fired?
That guy's going to call the agency and--
And I will lose my job and probably
Get sued... I'm sorry.
For what you did to his nose--
Wait a second here. That's what you're
Worried about?
Don't you think the appropriate
Response
Should be thank you, thank you for saving
My ass?
I don't need you to save my ass!
Oh, really? That's funny, 'cause that's how
It looked like to me.
God!!
What are you doing here anyway?
Who told you that you could follow me around?
You know what? I came here
To try to make myself ok with it,
All right?
But I am so not ok with it,
And I don't want you doing it again.
What?
You're not stripping anymore.
It's... It's dangerous.
You have got to be kidding me!
Daphne.
Daphne!
(Footsteps, voices)
Sarah: this bedroom is a little smaller than the other one. Is
That a problem?
Eric: no, there's plenty of room.
All I've got is my clothes.
Sarah: well, then great. Do you want to take
A look at the kitchen?
Yeah. Ok.
This really isn't a good time, is it?
Um...well--
It's fine. It's a fine time.
Just go ahead and do what you have to do.
Ok. Um...
Are you planning on taking all your
Furniture with you?
'Cause there's a lot of stuff
I don't have,
And if you're thinking of, uh...
You know, uh, I'll just go ahead
And take another look at the room.
Bailey,
I can easily have him come back later.
Why?
Nothing's going on. I'm just sitting here.
I'm just sitting here doing nothing.
Ok. So why is he up there? I mean,
What did he say?
I don't know.
He didn't say anything.
Annie was so freaked out having
Both of us there,
I just left.
Are you worried?
I mean, are you worried that he's
Going to do something? I don't know.
Maybe. I don't know.
Why is he here?
I mean, I thought that they were divorced.
I thought that she had sole custody.
So...if you're getting rid of that bed,
I can sure use it.
(Voices continue)
Woman: ladies and gentlemen, in a moment, we'll start our
Beverage service.
Soft drinks, juices, coffee and tea are complimentary...
(Laughing)
Roger.
Roger, cut it out.
(Laughing)
Mmm...mmm...
Mmm...mmm...
(Giggling)
Well, I heard they're having good weather in l.a.
Oh, good. That's a relief.
Roger! Ha ha ha!
We're in a public place. Really.
Oh.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's our 20th anniversary.
You know how things get.
Whoo! (Laughing)
Yeah.
(Laughing)
Ohh...
I hate it
When we don't get to sit together.
(Woman giggling)
Excuse me.
Do you see a floor beneath these feet?
No. No, you don't.
Because there isn't one,
Because I'm...
Walking on air.
Uh-huh. And why would that be?
Jamie just asked me to his prom!
Aah!
I could just scream.
You just did.
Ok. What do we go with here, like, purple satin
Or pink taffeta?
What do you think? Off the shoulder or on?
On the shoulder, claud. On the shoulder.
Ok. Ok. But what about
The length, you know?
T-length or above the knee?
Well, personally, I think the longer
The better.
I mean, that girl looks like a...
Wait a minute. Aren't you
A little young
To even be going to a prom?
It's jamie's, st. Albans.
You know, the prep school he goes to.
He's going to rent a limo and, like, wear a tux.
Ok. Ok, claud.
Just don't have these incredibly high
Expectations, ok?
That's my advice to you.
Why shouldn't i?
A prom's supposed to be, like, this wonderful night.
All right, claud, I'm just saying, ok?
At my first prom, cindy dellafuco
Was so allergic to the corsage
I brought her
That she went into anaphylactic shock
And ended up in the emergency room.
And ben boggman puked all down the front
Of my tuxedo,
And I ended up having to buy
The stupid thing.
Wow.
I'm sorry, claud. Forget I said anything.
That is not gonna happen to you guys.
I...
Tell me when you pick a dress,
And I'll write you a check, ok?
Excuse me. Can I ask you
A question?
I'm sorry to bother you,
But...are you a poet?
'Cause I saw you looking out
At the ocean,
And you had this look on your face
Like--like you were composing a poem.
Hi.
Oh, hi.
You with her? Yeah.
Right. Uh...
Sorry to bother you, man.
Have a good one.
Excuse me, your table's ready.
Thanks. Follow me.
The hotel room's nice.
Definitely.
And clean, too.
Excuse me. Can I ask you
A question?
Sure. I'm sorry
To bother you.
Are you an artist?
Gotta give him points for being persistent.
I can't hear what he's saying.
Something like... "Did anybody ever tell you
"You have the most beautiful eyes?
"I'm serious.
I know because I'm--"
An optometrist?
Well, is that one of those people
Who always think things are gonna
Work out for the best?
Mmm, no.
That's an optimist.
Bingo.
That's not a job.
It is where I'm from.
Oh, yeah? And where is that?
Finland? Ha ha!
Finland?
Jawohl.
They don't say jawohl in finland. It's german.
(Accent) a sensitive guy like me
Has no time
For these stupid differences
Between countries.
The whole world is one big place
To a sensitive guy like myself.
So, what do you say?
You show me town before I return
To finland
And face a f*ring squad?
(Accent) you face f*ring squad?
I knock over many convenience stores
To pay for trip to los angeles.
(Laughing)
But...
It's worth it.
I meet you.
Daphne.
First of all-- first of all--
How did you get-- claudia let me in.
First of all, I don't need somebody
Spying on me
Or--or following me around,
Because if I wanted that, I could move back in
With my parents,
Which I would rather k*ll myself first
Than do.
Ok, I understand--
And, yeah, yeah, I appreciate
You sticking up for me once you got there
The other night,
Even though you should have never
Been there in the first place.
Because I'm not completely ungrateful.
But that is not my point.
Ok.
There are a lot of things
That I could say about you, too, charlie.
It someone asked me to make a list,
If would be a good, long list.
For example,
Yeah, I may strip,
But what do you do, ok?
For the last 2 months, you haven't done
A thing.
And do I say anything? No. It's cool.
You want to take things as they come,
That is your business. It is not mine.
Right. That's true, but--
And that is the way it works for us,
Charlie.
That is why it works for us.
We do not tell each other
What to do.
We do not change our lives around
For each other.
So...
No strings,
No obligations.
That is the way I like it.
Right.
I'm just...
I just want to look out for you.
Tough. That is not how it works.
So deal
Or move on.
(No audible dialogue)
Uch.
(Accent) is terrible.
World is spinning.
(Laughing)
(Accent) hold onto my arm.
I will protect you.
Ooh. Ah. Oh.
Ahh. Ah. Zank you.
I forget about my injury from ze w*r.
You are at w*r?
Uh...yes.
We are at w*r at my home.
Uh...may I ask you a very important
Question?
Hm-mm.
Why is it zat you also have
Zis heavy accent?
(Laughs)
I am very confused by this also.
Dat is good. Confused is good.
Where I'm from, we are confused
All day long.
Then maybe we are not so different.
Maybe not.
What is it?
You have sad expression.
No. No, i, uh...
(Laughs)
I am sad because...
Of f*ring squad.
Because...
Because you are very funny person,
And I have wonderful time today.
Me, too.
(Door opens) hi.
God, listen, I'm sorry about today.
You must have been freaking out.
Where's--where's natalie?
She's with jay.
She's with jay.
She's with jay?
Bailey, calm down.
You disappear all afternoon, and you leave me
Sitting here
Without any idea what's going on?
I called you. I told you--
"Hello, bailey, we're driving up to
Mount tam"
Is not what I'm talking about.
What is going on here, annie?
You spent your life savings
Getting a judge to keep this guy
Away from you.
Now you just jump into a car
With him?
He's sober, bailey.
I mean, he's been in the program
For 8 months.
So he's sober. So what?
He moved to oakland.
I mean, he picked up his entire life
And he moved it to oakland
Just to be closer to his daughter.
And he got himself a job.
And actually, a pretty good one.
And--and this little house
That he rented...
It has a spare room.
A spare room for who?
For natalie.
Uh-huh.
And where will you be sleeping?
Bailey, it's not like that.
This is not about me.
I mean, jay's--
He wants to do right by her.
I mean, he wouldn't even let himself
Call her
Until he knew that he was sober.
So that's all it takes, huh?
Just saying that, and everybody forgets
About the year and a half
That he wasn't even around?
Bailey, she misses her father.
Yeah, well, that doesn't mean it's good for her
To see him, annie.
What happens the next time he takes off?
Do you want her to spend the rest
Of her life
Making excuses for this guy?
Because you have options, annie.
There's people in her life
Who aren't looking for the exit.
There's me.
Bailey, look.
Nat's not going anywhere.
Ok? She's still with me.
She's still with us.
But I have to listen to what it is
That she wants.
You should have seen her, bailey.
I mean, she would not let go of his hand
The whole time that we were with him.
So...
As long as he's ok enough...
I'm gonna let her have what it is
That she wants.
You ok?
Want to talk about it?
I don't even feel like thinking about it.
Look, uh...
I feel incredibly horrible even
Asking you this.
It's just--
Eric is staying at his cousin's
Apartment,
And I guess his cousin
Wants to move his girlfriend in
Or something,
So eric's gonna be out on the street
Any minute unless...
Do you know when you might be moving
Upstairs?
I sort of don't...know.
You don't have to explain.
I'll just tell eric whatever.
(Sighs)
It's just...
This whole thing, all this stuff,
Is sort of out of my league,
You know?
I mean...
Divorced people
With...kids
And custody agreements and child support.
They have all this stuff that they have to figure out,
And I'm just...
I'm just this guy who wanted to move in
With his girlfriend. Bailey, come on.
No. After all that you've done for them,
You are much more than that.
I mean-- they love you.
They want you to be around,
Believe me.
It's just--no.
I really feel like right now,
Me being up there, it doesn't help.
It doesn't.
So...i feel like the best thing
That I can do right now
Is just...
Stay out of everybody's way.
Pick up.
Daphne, are you there? Pick up.
Listen, uh, owen's still napping.
I'm gonna leave him be and take him
To a later movie.
Great.
Daph, are you there?
Are you sleeping?
She was supposed to be here like an hour ago.
She had some really late gig last night,
Some convention thing downtown.
Daphne!
She's the world's heaviest sleeper.
I'm sure she just... Overslept.
So you guys see each other
Pretty much every day now, huh?
Yeah.
Is there something you want to say about that?
No.
No.
Charlie, I have no point of view
About this.
You do what you want.
Yeah, but I want you to get it.
You don't have to explain your relationship to me.
I want to. I want you to understand.
See...what makes it weird
Is exactly what makes it work for us.
Right.
So she strips, and she sells cheese
In a mall,
And...i don't know what the hell
I want to do.
So what? I mean...
We're both in-between things right now,
And we're both ok with each other that way.
Maybe she checked in with her agency.
Hi.
Hey.
Did you sleep well?
Yeah.
Can I just say something?
You are a completely weird person.
Do you know that?
Hey, you went along with it.
Finland. Ha ha!
What can I say? I'm bad with geography.
Ahh...
I just had the worst thought.
We have to leave for the plane
In a little while.
Yeah, I know.
Griffin, let's not.
Let's not go home.
Let's find a cheesy little motel
On the beach
And stay here for a while.
You know?
Go for a tour of the stars' homes
Or go on a whale watch.
Jule-- I'll work something out
With professor sinclair.
Maybe I can do a little research here
Or...
(Sighs)
I don't know, griffin.
It's just, as soon as we get home,
Everything's gonna hit us.
My job, your job,
Where we live.
I know we can't afford it,
But, hey, we already have
So much debt,
What difference is it gonna make?
I'm such a sap.
All the crap that we've been through,
You say you want to be with me,
And I just...
Start doing cartwheels down the beach.
Now we're going to be paying for this
For the next century.
Mmm...
Sorry to, uh, show up
In the middle of your work
Like this.
Forget it.
What can I do for you?
Uh...
Well, I just, uh,
I wanted to thank you.
Annie said how great you've been,
And, uh, you know, how you, uh,
Pushed her to move up at work,
And how you're taking care of nat.
I really appreciate that you want
What's best for her.
Both of them.
I mean, uh, you and me, we might never be
Friends,
But at least we have that in common.
Don't you think?
Sure.
Uh...
Uh, the thing is, uh...
I think we have different ideas
Of what that is--
What's best for them.
You think it's you,
And I think it's me.
I'm sorry?
I want them back.
I want my family back.
Ok, wait-- wait a second.
Wait a minute.
I'm sorry you had to get caught up
In the middle of this.
Well--hang on a second.
Are you actually...
What do you think that I'm gonna do?
Do you think I'm just gonna step aside?
We're married, bailey. Annie's my wife--
No, she isn't. She's still paying
For your divorce.
I never signed those papers.
I refused.
You what? You-- yeah.
Wait...
Where...do you get off
Thinking you can just drop back into her life
Like this, huh?
After everything you did to her?
I had some problems.
I know that.
I messed up very badly.
But I never stopped being married to her.
Not in my heart.
And I'm not stopping now,
Not until annie tells me otherwise.
Not until she tells me that there's no hope
Left at all.
You can do what you want.
You can say what you want.
But I'm asking her to come back.
I'm asking my wife to take me back.
(Children shouting)
I'm going to spin you around
And make you really, really dizzy,
But I don't want you to throw up, ok?
Here, now...
Take it back and hit the pinata,
And it's right in front of you.
Ok. Go.
(Children cheering)
Charlie, what are you, checking up on me again? God!
Hey. We were supposed to hang out this afternoon,
Remember?
You never showed. I was worried.
Yeah, I was just-- ooh, tyler--
Daphne: over here.
Ok, this way.
Good.
Look, now is really not a good time, ok?
The mom's kind of giving me the evil eye.
Ok, who's next?
Ok, come on.
So, um...
When can I see you? When do you get off?
Well, I've gotta go straight from here
To the appliance show at the cow palace, so...
So I'll drive you.
Um, that's ok. I've got my car.
How about if I drive you anyway?
I got time.
I could walk around, check out the show, then I'll drive you
Back here to pick up your car when you're done.
I don't really think that's gonna work.
Ok. Try smacking him right between the eyes.
Why not?
Look, just stop, charlie, ok?
Stop what?
Could you just give me a little space here, please?
I've got a lot of stuff to deal with right now,
And I don't want to get into this with you
Right now.
Get into what?
Nothing. Never mind.
Ok, everybody, I think it's the birthday girl's
Turn next.
No. I want to know.
Can we do this later, please?
I'm fine with later, but apparently later's
Not good for you.
I've got a job to do.
Come here.
What is going on here?
Did I do something? You gotta tell me,
What did I do?
Ok...
It's not what you did, ok?
It's what we did, you and me together.
I'm pregnant, charlie.
Ok?
(Children cheering)
