I don't normally...

I don't do one-night stands.

[PATRICK] Well, good thing it's daytime.

Open your mouth.

Oh, my God!

Yay, you wrote this, Gia Lombardi.

- Wow.
- Oh, my God.

That's pretty f*cking cool.

That's so f*cking cool!

But you're not, like, in love

- with the movie star, right?
- No, God, gross.

Sure, okay.

- Shut up.
- Yeah, great, no.

Damn it. Thank you.

What am I doing? I should
be shopping at Kmart.

Okay, I will be at the bar.

- sh*ts?
- Yeah.

[RODY] Gia!

Hey.

Look at this.

- Hi. I know.
- Congratulations.

- Thank you.
- Mwah.

- Did you get my messages?
- Uh, yeah, sorry.

I just, I knew I was
gonna see you here, so...

Um, what'd they say?

We'll talk about it tomorrow.

What's wrong? What...

Tomorrow.

f*ck, Rody, what?

They're not happy.

They're... What do you, what
do you mean they're not happy?

It's 200,000 words on a p*rn
castle and swinger's clubs.

What-what exactly did they say?

That it's a bit... boring.

Oh, uh, I have some good news.

Gay Talese has, uh, has
agreed to mentor you.

A mentor? I don't need a mentor.

You're starting from scratch, Gia.

"Scratch"?

You wanted to update Thy
Neighbor's Wife, right?


No, no, no. The last
section of that book

is him literally talking about
himself in the third person.

I mean, for f*ck's sake, that's the
kind of sh*t only a man would do.

Well, then you do that, too.

You can write like a man, Gia.

I don't want to write like a
man. I want to write like me.

- [LIVELY CHATTER]
- [WHOOPING]

Oh, look at that.

- Hey, you.
- Hey.

Hi.

- Congratulations.
- Mm, thank you so much.

- God, you look incredible.
- Thank you.

- You look great, too.
- Thanks. Anya?

Hey, this is Gia Lombardi.

Oh, my God, Gia.

- Hi.
- You captured this man perfectly.

[PATRICK] Nobody has
condensed me so well.

Best writer I've...

worked with, really.

[GIA LAUGHS]

[WOMAN] Patrick, we need you over here.

Okay. Hey, lock her down, Roddy.

- Before she gets too famous for you.
- I will do that.

Rody is on it.

- [PHONE BUZZES]
- [RODY] Uh, hold that thought.

I will be right back, be right back. Hi.

Yeah.

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [MUSIC PLAYING QUIETLY]




Uh, listen, one more thing?

Oh, okay, there's more.

I just want to remind
you that Elizabeth Wurtzel

sold millions of books, right?

Millions, and Penguin
is still gonna sue her

for being late on the latest one.

- Well, f*ck Penguin, then.
- No, that's... that's not the point.

This is big business, Gia.
This is not Golf magazine.

FSG just bought another sex book, too.

And it is making them very anxious.

If that one beats you to market
with a three-year head start?

What?

What, what?

Gia, what you turned in was not good.

So go see Gay.

Figure it out.

- This is your last chance.
- Mm-hmm.

[RODY] All right.

[SOMBER MUSIC]



Well, what do you want me to say?

[SIGHS]

It's a little, um...

I don't know the word in English.

Boring?

Yeah.

Boring.

[GIA] Mothers.

She wasn't a bad mom.

She was actually a great mom.

I really think what I wrote was just...

boring.

[TALESE] You need to f*ck people.

A lot of people, married people.

Married people hold the
key to sex in America.

Why do you even want to
write a book, fame? Money?

- No.
- Your-your dead parents?

Uh, yeah.

- Yes? Your dead parents are the reason?
- Well, no,

no, I mean, they didn't
think I could do it,

you know, and I wanted to prove
to them that I can make money

- doing it...
- Oh, I see.

What? What, what do you see?

- [SMACKS LIPS]
- [EXHALES]

You should drive, too.

- What?
- When you're f*cking the men. You should drive.

Airports don't have a lot to
offer in terms of the culture.

I understand that you
don't have a lot of time,

so you have to travel
slow in order to work fast.

And you should f*ck the
women, too, for Christ's sake.

I'm not f*cking anyone to write a book.

[SIGHS] The work.

The work is the only thing that matters.

Oh, you think I don't know that?

Oh, you're emotional.

We'll discuss this more at dinner.

Oh, well, I'm not staying for dinner.

You-you don't have to leave.

The guest room is made up and, um...

Gay Talese is inviting you to stay.

Well...

Gay Talese...

[LAUGHS]

[PUTS GLASS DOWN]

I won't touch you, if that's
what you're worried about.

[EXHALES QUIETLY]

[EXHALES]

[QUIET, EXPANSIVE MUSIC]



f*ck you, New York!

f*ck you!

f*ck, g*dd*mn it.

[EXHALES]

g*dd*mn it.

Oh, really?



[INDISTINCT CHATTER OUTSIDE]

- [LOUD MUSIC PLAYING]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]


- How we doing? We still working?
- [CLEARS THROAT]

- No, I'm good.
- You sure?

- Yeah, thank you.
- Got it, okay.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]



[WOMAN MOANING ON VIDEO]

[MAN] Oh, that's it.

- Oh, Dad, Mom!
- Oh, my God.

- I'm sorry, sorry.
- No, no.

Do not apologize, do not apologize.

I told them do not record something

that they didn't want
the whole world to see.

Oh.

Hey, bud, can I, uh...
can I get a glass, please?

- Here you go.
- Appreciate you.

Oh, sh... uh...

I'll pay you back.

I'll pay you back for that.

[CLEARS THROAT] But we can, uh...

toast, just...

- To my parents.
- [LAUGHS]

And all their sexual endeavors.

[GLASSES CLANK]

So where'd you get this sch-schtick?

Drinking nice wine?

That's a statement bottle.

I'm celebrating.

Oh, what, like, uh...

an engagement or... ?

Do you prefer to be wrong
or annoying? Just curious.

It's more of a numbers game, really.

It's like, uh, you know,
if I get half of them right,

then you'll think I'm really
smart, but if I get, like, zero,

then, uh, it's kind of funnier

- the more I get wrong.
- So it's an-an act?

Yes.

A balancing act, yes.

Oh, God, you're a f*cking actor.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Pardon me, but I noticed
what you were eating earlier.

Uh, what pays enough for solo tartare?

Don't, uh, nope, let me
pad my assumptions. Um...

Lawyer?

Uh, commercial real estate?

No, you're really bad at this.

My parents are p*rn
stars. What'd you expect?

[LAUGHS]

I work for Esquire magazine.

- Publicist. sh*t.
- No.

Man, it was the
independence that threw me.

- No.
- f*ck it, all right, okay.

Accounts payable?

You know, I've-I've honestly had
enough misogyny for one evening, so...

Uh, yeah, no, no, no.
No misogyny, I got it.

Editor.

- Done. Won it.
- Hmm-mm.

- There's literally nothing else.
- A writer!

- Oh.
- Mm-hmm.

- That's cool.
- Yeah. You're surprised.

Well, I always knew you were smart.

'Cause I'm...

attractive.

- Yes.
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

- So now...
- Mm-hmm?

... you're a writer for Esquire...

and you're writing p*rn.

Writing about por...
You're writing for p*rn?

No, I...

I am traveling the country

f*cking married men.

- Married?
- Mm-hmm.

Why married?

Because I am boring.

And f*cking married
men isn't... apparently.

- I'm not married.
- Then I'm not f*cking you.

Well, that's f*cking boring, isn't it?

I told you.

That's it, huh?

That's it.

Makes sense.

Well, then...

have a good one.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[LAUGHS]

[SNORTS]

Hey, uh, Bri, can I
get the check, please?

Actually... Slick put it on his tab.

[GIA] Like, the whole thing?

Well, uh...

Thanks, but, um...

no thanks.

- [LAUGHTER]
- [CLAMORING]

Oh, my God!

[JACK] Hey!

Hey, wait up!

Where'd you learn that
move, huh, book for virgins?

You know, most women in America
appreciate a little chivalry.

Yeah, well, this isn't
America. This is New York.

You seemed like you
wanted to be left alone.

I did. I did want to be left alone.

See, I knew it.

Okay, well, that's not the point.
The point is that I-I, you...

you made a move to destabilize me.

I don't really think
in terms of strategy.

That's why I chased you down the street.

So then why did you, then?

I don't know.

Oh, uh... to give you my number.

You know, so you can take me out
to dinner before I go back to L.A.,

if you're up for it.

I'll be married by then, I promise.

[CHUCKLES]

Call me.

m*therf*cker!

[GIA SCOFFS]

[GIA] That article's,
like, ten years old.


I know.

I read all your sh*t.

- Oh, my God.
- And your dad calls you Clementine.

Like the song.

- Is that it?
- Oh, yeah, there she is.

[JACK] sh*t, man. You're
really gonna eat the road.

- [GIA] "Eat the road"?
- Yeah.

It's, uh, it's what my
dad calls road trips.

You know, like, uh,
on those long, boring,

low-energy stretches, and
I'd be, like, falling asleep,

and he'd be like, "Eat
the road, eat the road!"

I have no idea what it means.

Well, I have no f*cking
clue what I'm doing, so...

The f*ck you talking
about? Yeah, you do.

Unless you mean, like, your
sugar daddy can't hang onto

- your place while you're gone...
- Oh, shut up.

I actually think my friend, um, Cara

is going to sublet it for me.

- Oh!
- Which would be really convenient.

[SIGHS] It's good to have friends.

Yeah, it is.

Before my dad d*ed, we, um...

we were gonna go to
a dude ranch and learn

to ride horses and, like, rope steer

and eat, uh, racks of ribs.

- And...
- Yeah.

Yeah, he listened to country music

his whole f*cking life and
he never went to a rodeo.

- That's absurd.
- And there's a sushi restaurant in Whitefish...

- I know it sounds weird, sushi in Montana.
- Yeah.

But I read it in Departures
magazine and, um...


it's just like... it's like a snow globe

with a sushi restaurant
inside of it and there's, like,

cherry blossom lanterns...

and it's just, like, so cute.

Then you got to go.

And you ride them horses

and you eat that sushi in Whitefish.

I will.

Yeah, you will.

Yeah.

Tonight was fun.

Tonight was fun.

It was a fun night.

Subtle.

[SIGHS] Thank you.

[LAUGHS]

You want to go in there?

To have sex?

- No. Move.
- Oh.

Well, then, yes. Yes, of course.

[GIA] All right.

[GIA GRUNTS]

[JACK] Hot damn!

- [MOANING]
- [GRUNTING]

[JACK CHUCKLES]

- Hey.
- Hey. Did you, uh, did you cum?

Uh, no.

- Sorry.
- It's okay.

What?

The condom came off.

What?

Uh, where is it?

Like, how does a condom just come off?

I think...

- I think, I think it's still in you.
- No.

Yeah. Like, when I pulled out.

- Really?
- Yeah, I think so.

- I mean...
- For real?

- Yep.
- f*ck.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

- f*ck, I can't find it.
- Sorry.

I'm not trying to laugh. It's all right.

I mean, it's not like I have any STDs.

I was literally tested last month.

I mean, the only
questionable thing I've done

in the past couple weeks is, like...

... jerk off without washing my hands

- when I got home from work.
- Oh, my God that is disgusting.

Oh, I know. I've been
thinking about it ever since.

Oh, and I attended an orgy.

- What?
- Just kidding.

- Dude, that's not funny.
- All right, sorry. I know.

I know, sorry. No-no jokes, come on.

Uh, I can, I can get it.

- Oh, my God, I can't f*cking find it.
- I can get it.

What do you mean you can get it?

If you just get doggy style
and I'll, I'll get in there,

I can get the right angle
and I'll take care of it.

- Okay, you ready?
- Yeah, yeah.

All right, go.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, just stay still.

Are you looking up?

Just get it the f*ck out, man!

- Look at my dad, okay?
- I'm looking at your dad.

But you also have two photos
of Joan Didion up here.

Oh, ooh-ooh!

Ah, there it is. Okay, you okay?

- Go! Go, go, go!
- All right. Ready.

Slowly, slow, slow, slowly. [EXCLAIMS]

Oh, my God, thank God.

- Yep, there we go.
- Oh, my God.

f*ck.

Thank you.

- Excuse me.
- All right.

I promise I don't have any STDs.

- Okay.
- You can watch me sleep.

- I sleep very healthy.
- No, no, no, no.

You have to, to go. You
can't stay the night.

- Oh.
- Sorry, but you have, you have to leave.

[GIA] When I was a kid,
my dad stuck himself


with a needle used on
a patient with HIV.


I heard him tell my
mother in the kitchen


while I was hiding in the stairwell.

It was the '80s and it
was a death sentence.


And the scariest thing was that
I couldn't ask them about it,


because I wasn't supposed to know.

My dad didn't get AIDS.

He d*ed in a car accident instead.

Because I hadn't worried
about that one enough.


You know, there weren't that
many people at the orgy. Just...

so...

[GIA] Anyway...

there was something about this man...

this boy...

I knew right away I could
tell him stuff like that.
