03x01 - Blast From the Past

Post by bunniefuu »

[guzheng plays]

[Kevin] I think my takeaway is…

life's better when you're rich. [chuckles]

[Kane] Cheers!

[Kane] The Asians are here!

[car engine revs]

[Don] I put Swarovski crystals
all over it.

[Kane] I'm coming!

[Kevin] If she gets back with Andrew,
that just means that

she's in the break up,
let's make up type of thing.

[Kelly] We're in a toxic environment.
The fights just don't stop.

This rumor,
me and Andrew are sleeping together…

[Kevin] Right.

Gossip spreads like herpes in this group.

We gotta piece it together, right?

I have to say something.

So has Andrew reached out to you?

-No. Who's spreading this rumor?
-[Kane] Unless it's a secret?

Don't you get tired of gossip?

I got a phone call from a trusted friend
who told me that you wanted to end me.

If I did harm to you, I would go to jail.

Do you think you're worth it?
I don't think so.

What he should not have done
is spreading it around.

Oops.

It's probably the biggest bullshit
that I've ever heard.

He gets in everyone's business
and makes it his business.

-[woman squeals]
-Kelly's recently single.

[producer] Do you think
you start drama with gossip?

Me?

[producer] Yeah.

I don't think I start any drama
with anyone. [chuckles]

I just feel like you're being lied to.

[Kevin] He is the biggest sh*t-stirrer.

-I found out that Kevin slept with her.
-What?

Kane! What? I didn't sleep
with another girl a week ago!

-[Kane] I don't f*cking care!
-You think it's your responsibility--?

-She's my f*cking friend.
-It's not your responsibility!

You have to be careful of your words
and how they can affect people.

Okay, Dorothy, what's your point here?

I'm not sure if I wanna go there with you.

[tense music plays]

You know how much it hurts?

-[Kim] f*ck.
-[cries]

[Christine] All roads lead to Kane.

♪ It's slipping through my fingers ♪

I just wanted you.

He's in the middle of all this.

Can I tell you something?

[tense music continues]

[upbeat music plays]

[Anna speaks Spanish]

[dog barking]

[Anna] Somebody's here.

-Maria?
-[Maria] Door.

[Anna] Maria, who is it?

-[dog keeps barking]
-[suspenseful music plays]

[doorbell rings]

Drew.

Kelly's Andrew?

What's he doing here?

[dog keeps barking]

Hello.

[Andrew] It's hot.

-[Maria] It's hot?
-It's hot. You look great.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

There you are. How are you doing?

-[dog barking]
-I got these for you.

-Give me a two-handed hug?
-You look good.

-It's been over a year.
-Or two.

Can I give these to you, to you?

-[Maria] Thank you.
-We're joined the first year.

-You joined at the hip?
-[Maria] Yeah.

-These are for you.
-[Maria] Aw.

You want some? You can chew on them.
Thank you so much. Where should I sit?

[Anna] Have a seat here.
Maria was sitting here.

[Andrew] Can I ask you a question?

[suspenseful music continues]

You look gorgeous.
What do you do for your skin?

[gasps, laughs]

-Okay, so what's going on with you?
-[dog pants]

Oh man, life is so good.
I've been doing a lot of healing work,

a lot of therapy work,
a lot of charity work.

Whatever happened, to be honest with you,
I value your friendship.

I… I respect you as a human being.

Okay. I have a couple questions
because I haven't spoken to you.

When we were in Paris…

[Andrew] Mm-hmm.

I apologize for you seeing that behavior,
me acting out of character.

[Andrew] I don't wanna hear anything
but yes or no.

[screams] Yes or no! Keep it simple!

[Kelly] You're way overreacting right now.

[Andrew] Now I'm upset!

-I don't f*cking treat you that way!
-[Kelly] Okay. Bye.

[Andrew] Now you're gonna hang up on me?

Oh, phew.

I felt, like, uh, stressed

in… in different areas.

And I'm not excusing the behavior at all.

Working on ourselves is the hardest thing
that anyone can do in their whole lives.

To say, "I'm insufficient," right?
I apologize that you saw that behavior.

[suspenseful music continues]

I just want to say something,
like you're my son.

No one should ever talk to women
the way you did, Andrew.

However-- And the past can be the past,
but my mother used to say,

"If you don't find closure in that page,
in that chapter in the book,

then you can't turn to the next page."

I have to apologize to you too.

-I never took you aside.
-Anna, it's okay.

It wouldn't be right
if I didn't give Drew the chance

because I have a son.

That could be Kenny or my brother.

I would hope

that they would be able to…
to explain their side of the story.

And I feel, in part, I was judging,
and at my age I should know better.

Don't play into his game.

You didn't lose respect
for Andrew in Paris?

-People are putting up with him for you.
-Mm-hmm.

There ain't no d*ck that good.

[dramatic music plays]

I appreciate it.

[Anna whispers indistinctly, laughs]

-I won't tell anyone.
-[laughs]

I would appreciate
a mutual respect to everybody.

You have such great influence.
People love you. I love you.

I feel we can just work together
in healing each other,

being friends and moving forward.

Please let Kelly know,
she doesn't deserve to have stress.

Okay.

-[upbeat music plays]
-[Andrew] We just--

-All right. One more hug.
-[Anna] Thank you.

-Maria, one more hug.
-[Maria] Thank you.

-Stay strong.
-[Andrew] I will.

Bye, ladies. Enjoy the rest
of your day. God bless.

I'm so excited to see your closet.
How long you been working on it?

-Uh, a year.
-A year?

-Mm-hmm.
-Oh my gosh.

[door beeps, unlocks]

Welcome.

My closet!

Oh my goodness!

[peppy music plays]

This is crazy, Mimi!

Wow.

Who has a closet like this?

I have over 500 pairs of shoes.
Look at my Dolce & Gabbana.

[Mimi] Check my wall.

-[Kelly] You have liquor in the closet.
-[Mimi laughs] Yeah.

[Kelly] I want to move in.

-Close the door.
-Sleep here.

-[Kelly] I'll sleep on the floor.
-[laughs]

[Mimi] I'm so excited
for spend time with Kelly,

because I think my new closet,
I don't know,

it's all blinged up, make me happy.

I'm drooling right now.
I'm literally drooling. This is so--

Look at your Birkin collection!

Oh my God, you got a Himalaya.

-This is a gift from Don?
-[Mimi] Yeah.

The Himalaya used to be a 100?
Now you could sell that for like 300k.

-[Mimi] Are you serious?
-Yes. It's like carrying a house.

-When my ex-husband…
-Mm-hmm.

…you know, like when things went south,

I actually sold most of my Birkins
for, you know, just to, like, live off.

But now I'm slowly starting to collect
my bags back, but it's like so hard.

If I get a sad day, instead of going
to therapy, can come in your closet?

-Yeah. Let's do it.
-I'll just meditate in here.

Boom! Yes!

-Let's celebrate your new closet.
-New closet!

[Kelly laughs] Oh my gosh!

-Is this your wedding dress?
-Yeah. Valentino.

Wow.

Are you gonna pass it down to maybe your…?

When I die, I'll wear it on.

[laughs] You die in wedding dress?

I told my husband when I die
I have to look pretty too.

[laughs]

-I still love it.
-I sold mine.

Huh? [laughs]

It is so nice to see Mimi and Don together
because after so many years,

they're still so happy and so in love.

I definitely hope to find
a long-lasting love like this.

Somebody I can spend
the rest of my life with.

I can't believe you've never worn this.
You still have the tag on.

I just wanna attract
somebody secure and at my level,

for I will not tolerate,
like, anything less.

-Are we gonna do a runway show?
-[Mimi cheers and laughs]

-How is it?
-[Mimi mimics sound beat]

[Mimi laughs]

Are we gonna walk?

[Mimi] Turn. [laughs]

Turn back. Turn.

This is so fun.
I could literally be in here all day.

There's nothing more fun than fashion,
champagne, and cheese. [laughs]

-[Guy] This is how we roll.

-You know this, come on, DJ.
-[Kim squeals]

So it's Guy's and Almar's
sixth anniversary party.

And they decided to throw
an '80s-themed skate party.

Oh my God. The last time
I went roller skating was

when I was, like, 12 years old.

So I'm not sure
how well I'm gonna do on… [laughs]

…the skating rink.

[Kevin] Hello!

[Kim] Hi!

[Guy] What's up?

-[Kim] Hi!
-[Guy] Hi.

-What's up, man?
-All of a sudden…

-Hey, Almar. Good to see you.
-Good to see you too.

[upbeat music plays]

-[Guy] Hi, Dorothy. How are you?
-Hi.

-You look beautiful. Thank you for coming.
-Happy anniversary.

-Thank you.
-Happy birthday.

-We can all come visit you.
-Yeah, we can all hang out in New York.

[Kevin] I have a place to crash
if I come back?

-[Dorothy] Maybe.
-[Guy] Hey! Thank you for presents!

-You're the only one that gives presents.
-Everyone looks so cute.

-I gave her a hug. Good to see you.
-[Christine] Oh, you look amazing.

-Christine, Mimi, let's get a group shot.
-[Christine] Yes!

[Kane] Ooh! Okay, wait, wait, wait!

-Three, two, one.
-[cheers]

Wow!

[screams] He just fell!

[screams] Oh no!

-Hi.
-[screams, laughs]

-Don't fall on me.
-[Kevin] Don't you fall on me!

[Kim] Kane! [screams]

[Kevin] Oh sh*t!

-[screams]
-Don't fall on me! Don't you--

[Guy] Anna!

[Guy laughs]

You showed up.
Thank you so much for coming.

Kevin.

[Kevin] Kane.

-What's up?
-Isn't this amazing?

-You smell great.
-Thank you.

-How are you, good?
-I'm okay. How have you been?

I'm good. [chuckles]

Go hang out with whoever.

-What?
-[laughs]

-Are you okay?
-I'm cool.

You look good.

Talk to you later.

[Kim] Did you say,
"whoever" and leave? [laughs]

I mean, obviously, there was some issues
that Kevin and I wanted to work out

but I think I need to think about it more
before I move on.

And I don't know how my relationship
with Christine's gonna be either.

I don't think I started
any drama with anyone. [laughs]

Everything I said were facts.

[Mimi] Wow! Ooh!

-[Kane] Christine, do you wanna trade?
-[Mimi] Ooh!

[all laugh]

[Christine] Don't drop that, okay?
And if you do--

-We'll catch it.
-[Christine] Yeah.

We'll make sure to be like… [laughs]

[upbeat music plays, ends]

Since the lie detector test,

I definitely needed to take
some space away from Kim.

And I think through the silence,

without having Kim there,

I realized this
is not something I can force.

I really do see
that we are better off as friends,

and now I'm a single guy in Los Angeles

and… it feels good.

-Would you like a mushroom burger?
-I'm good.

-It's mushroom.
-I like other types of shrooms.

[laughs]

I'm kidding.

-Dorothy, are you single?
-Yes.

Really? How long have you been single?

-Hi.
-Good to see you.

-Hi, Dr. Chiu. How are you?
-[Chiu] Doing well.

-[Dorothy] Good.
-[Christine] Is he flirting with you?

[Anna] Jaime!

I'm going for a walk in the woods.

[suspenseful music plays]

Hey, baby.

-There's a special guest.
-[Kim gasps]

-[Kevin] What the f*ck?
-[Kim] What?

Oh, hell no! Andrew?

Happy anniversary!

[Kelly] Wait. What?

[Kane hesitates] I didn't know about this.

-Oh sh*t.
-Yay!

I have never in a million years

think I was going to see
Andrew tonight at this party.

And seeing Anna walking in
with him is really confusing.

How are they like friends now?
And she knows that will hurt me, so…

why is he even here?

I'm in shock right now, so I'm--

[Kane hesitates]
I promise you, I swear on my life.

-I didn't know about this.
-That's awkward.

[Kane] Seeing Andrew at the party,
it really sucks because

Kelly has definitely done work,
you know, with therapy.

I don't wanna see Kelly
slip back as a friend,

and I don't want her life to be
turned into another roller coaster.

Yeah, yeah. Oh my God.

You guys go. Both of you guys go.

-Go, go! Go. All of us will go.
-At the same time.

-[Kim laughs]
-Okay.

-Kane] One, two, three.
-[Kevin] Hi, Andrew.

-What's up?
-[Kevin] Hey.

-How you guys doing?
-Good, how are you doing?

[Andrew] Good.

I look over at Kelly. I think this is
something Kelly has to deal with.

Um, it's unfortunate.

I probably wouldn't have invited Andrew
to a party.

-Give me a hug. I'm not gonna bite you.
-[Kevin] Sure.

-[Kane] I'll hug you.
-Bring it in.

[Kane] What's up?

-You all look great.
-Thank you.

-You too.
-You look happy and healthy.

Everyone looks healthy.

-[Kim] We went at the same time.
-[Kane] Not today!

-What's up? How are you doing?
-[Kim laughs] Good to see you.

I didn't tell anybody, actually,
that Drew was going to come.

One, really, because I don't know
if Kelly would have come.

I hope that something good

comes… from Drew

coming to the party.

We roller skating?
What are you guys thinking?

We standing, being quiet and awkward,
or are we gonna have some fun?

I was thinking,
are you guys always this--?

This is bullshit.

[sighs] This is so bullshit.
I don't wanna do this.

[tense music plays]

I realize that I misjudged too quickly.

Oh, by the way, he still owes me
f*cking money. There you go.

[Anna] It was not my intention whatsoever

to try to get
Andrew and Kelly back together.

I wanted to invite him
so that he has a chance to see his friends

and make the record straight.

I've done everything I could to not have
any communication with Andrew

and not any contact with Andrew

because Drew and I have been in this cycle
of breaking up, making up, breaking up.

So-- But what Anna's doing
is stirring the pot and…

I don't know what she's trying to do.

-I don't care about him.
-Who invited him?

-Anna invited him.
-That's f*cked up.

[Kelly] Bringing my past to my present,

especially something
I've worked so hard on getting over,

it's just not very nice.
It's very hurtful.

[Kelly sobs]

[Andrew] Kelly, when Anna and I did speak,

my only term for being here
is that I don't wanna bring drama.

You know me.

I know you better than that.

[Kim] I know this sounds so crazy,

but, like, I know they still got love
for each other.

They're gonna get back together one day.
I said it. [chuckles]

Welcome. Reservations this evening?

-Right this way.

[Christine] Thank you.

[pop music ends]

-Oh, thank you.
-You're welcome.

Oh my gosh, we finally get a night out.
We need to order a drink to celebrate.

Okay.

[upbeat music plays]

Cheers!

Cheers.

[Chiu] Oh, butter all over it.

Wow!

Oh my gosh. Oh jeez. Oh my gosh.

Okay, I see fingers flying.

[Chiu] You're almost good enough
to be my assistant.

[crowd] Salt Bae!

[crowd applauds]

[both] Thank you.

[Christine] Wow,
that's quite the presentation.

-[waiter] Enjoy.
-[Chiu] Thank you.

Thanks.

Mmm.

Gabe, what's gonna happen
if all embryos take?

You put them into--

-Different surrogates?
-Yeah, later on.

That is so weird.
Our house will be like a surrogate camp.

Oh, we'd have a basketball team.

-We're very, very lucky…
-Mm-hmm.

…that we can even be, like,
celebrating and talking about this.

Now we need to audition for--
Or they need to audition.

Have you lined up
some of the questions you want to ask?

I don't think it should be
a one-on-one interview.

I think we should take them
on a trip with us.

I think we need to observe their behavior
over a longer course of time.

I don't think we have the time.

You need to see what is their routine
and what is their--

We can ask them those questions.

They can also lie to you.

Like, I want to observe
with our own four eyes.

Uh, well, they can be done--
It can be done at our house.

We need to hire a detective
to follow them around.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

The day is almost here,

and we're just waiting
to hear back from the doctor's office.

Our eggs are being tested for viability.

And we are hoping that the news
is going to be positive

and that we might possibly be
a family of four or a family of nine.

I guess I have to go buy
that bus I've been looking at. [chuckles]

-[woman] I'm gonna interrupt for a second.
-Hey!

Oh my God. I haven't seen you in so long.

-We were having dinner--
-[Chiu] Hi, neighbor.

-Really?
-[woman] Yes.

The neighborhood misses you.
But we moved. We're like--

-I heard--
-Yeah. Your house is insane.

-It's so good.
-You should come at some point.

-How's your baby? How's everything?
-More babies.

-Yeah, we're in the process.
-Yeah.

-Yes!
-Yes. We can have play dates!

-Are you having more babies?
-Anytime.

No, we're done.
We had two, girl! Two and done!

-You can have, I've--
-Done.

Done. There's light at the end
of that tunnel. We're done.

-Okay. Congratulations on baby two.
-[Chiu] Thank you.

-I'll send you some really good juju.
-[both] Thank you.

-I'll send you good baby vibes.
-I'll take your fertility vibes.

-I'm sending them all to you.
-Thank you.

-So good to see you.
-[Mila] I'll email you.

[Christine] Okay, bye.

Aw.

You understand that
Baby G set the mark so high.

He's very smart for his age.

Let's seal the deal.

-New adventure?
-Yeah.

[upbeat music plays]

♪ Boy, why are you making me wait… ♪

-I love K-Town.
-Are you excited for boba?

I'm so excited!

I feel like sometimes
I need a psychiatrist

because all I wanna do
is eat and go shopping. [laughs]

I mean, I spent like two grand
on this jacket

and, sh*t, I look good, girl. [laughs]

-Carbs are good.
-Carbs are bad for you.

Do you? [laughs]

[Kelly] Hello, how are you?

-I should be fasting.
-How are you?

[Kane] Can I get…

[speaks Mandarin]

Ooh, pretty good at my Mandarin.

-Aw.
-And you only have one mouth.

-[speaks Mandarin]
-You only have--

-You only have one mouth.
-Shut up.

-You don't eat--
-[Kane] I want to try everything!

[Kelly] Thank you.

-This is cute.
-Where are you going?

-Going to a business meeting?
-I have to work.

-[Kane] You work?
-[both chuckle]

I work. I gotta pay the bills, man.

Um, so…

-have you talked to Anna recently?
-[tense music plays]

[Kelly] I haven't talked to her
since the party.

I really, really
don't wanna talk about it.

-I'm shaking. My hands are shaking.
-Don't shake, please.

I definitely want Kelly to focus on
something else other than Andrew.

This is obviously affecting her.
We're just gonna have good boba.

And I think, you know,
having boba takes your mind off anything.

-It's for you, Kane.
-Thanks.

You should give me a lot of things today.

-Should be really--
-Why?

-Very thankful.
-Why?

-[Kane] Very grateful.
-Why?

I'm grateful for you every day.

Okay, wait.
I don't want you to be angry first.

-[laughs]
-What happened?

I'm gonna get you laid.

[laughs]

-Did you buy me a vibrator? [laughs]
-No. Better than that.

I basically, um, set up, um…

a dating profile for you.

-On an app?
-[laughs] On an app.

Kane.

Yes!

Kelly has this pattern of, like, you know,
just always falling back with Andrew.

I've seen it, like, at least 25 times
in our friendship of like eight years

and I don't know if it's the sex

or something,
but something's luring her back.

Sometimes I get worried
because I feel like she's just gonna

go back with him again.

So I think, as a best friend,

I'm just trying to nudge her a little
to put herself out there

because that's gonna distract Kelly
from thinking about

getting back with Andrew.

-I've never done online dating.
-It's time, Kelly. It's time.

-Wait, how long--
-You need to break free.

Basically, before I show you the profile,
I wanna let you know that…

I found an amazing candidate for you.

Your definition of amazing
is, like, questionable.

No. I, like, was chatting with him
and I said, like--

-Did you chat pretending to be me?
-Of course! Or he's gonna think I'm crazy.

-You chatted pretending to be me?
-Of course. [chuckle]

It's the first time
I learned the meaning of catfish. Like--

You should've… not taken me
to this tea shop.

-You should've taken me to a bar.
-[mumbles]

-I'm about to have a heart attack.
- I'm gonna get your drink.

Is the drink ready? [speaks Mandarin]

Look at me. What amazing service.

Let me find his Instagram for you.

Wait, I'm just gonna show you
a body pic first.

Are you ready for this, Kelly?

-Do I have a choice?
-No.

[Kane laughs]

I feel like you're more excited than I am.

-I'm excited for you and your children.
-He's a good-looking guy.

All right, I'll show your profile.
Read it. [chuckles]

-My mantra is, "I like it hard."
-[laughs]

Read the rest.

"Never have I had a threesome.
Would like to explore."

[laughs]

Kane, this is a public f*cking profile.

"I'll brag to all my friends
if you give me a good foot massage."

-That one is pretty good.
-It's true, right?

Thank you, Kane, for putting
this profile of me out in the universe

just in case I have, you know,
a business partner who's gonna look at it,

and, I don't know,
friends who might see it.

But it is a little embarrassing.

I appreciate you doing this,
and I know your intention's good…

-I just don't know--
-You've been single for like…

-Six months.
-A good, long time.

And-- Put yourself out there.

This might not be the one,
but at least you're giving it a chance.

Okay.

-I know he's your type, like--
-Can you at least change the answers?

-No. You're attracting amazing--
-I'm attracting the wrong people.

-They wanna have threesomes.
-No, you said, "like to explore."

-I don't wanna explore threesomes.
-I never said you had one. Have you?

[Kane laughs] Yes!

[doorbell rings]

-Jaime!
-Hello!

-Gosh, you look so pink.
-Thank you for having me over. I know.

This is like--
I thought I was overstuffed.

-[Kane] No, I'm overstuffed.
-You're very, especially the shoes.

I know, I know. I bought a new place,
so I don't have any more space left.

[Jaime] I wore cool shoes today
because I know you're into shoes.

-Oh my God, that's so cute.
-I know. They're Blue Marines, vintage.

-Spring 2013.
-[Kane] Super cute.

[Jamie] It's like all flowers.

This is cute. I like this.
I wanna… steal it.

It looks really good on you.

So I don't know
if you know about this but, like,

Christine told me
that Anna's trying to end her.

I got a call right before you came.

And it was someone telling me that…

[sniffs] …Anna is going around
telling people

that she's gonna destroy me.

[sobs]

Yeah, I heard that from Kim, and to be
honest, Anna has much better things to do.

I know, I thought that.

Anna doesn't even see
Christine as competition.

I asked Christine who said that.
Because I didn't believe it.

-Guess who she said this person's name.
-Who?

Your editor friend from a magazine.

Christine said that the only connection
I could make with Anna is you.

Christine wants our friend group
to feel pity towards her.

So she's painting herself as a victim.

But that is probably
the biggest bullshit I've ever heard.

I didn't say it to anybody
because I don't even believe it.

So why would I just randomly make that up?

You know what I wanna tell you
is this, because

Christine wants to take a little jab

at this magazine editor, possibly,
because you know what happened?

Because she said Christine
is very high-maintenance, very demanding,

and she asked for a lot,
and she's difficult to work with.

So Christine knows that
this editor was working with me.

And I guess she didn't like
how she was happy to work with me

-but didn't want to work with her.
-Yeah.

-And…
-[Kane] This is a way of getting back.

-It's a way for her to get back
-That's stupid.

Honestly, Christine sees
everything as competition.

But she's competing
with herself, honestly.

Like, she just pretends, she likes
to stir up random sh*t about things.

-Yeah.
-She's never done anything to me.

-She's been nothing but nice to me.
-Right.

But the sh*t that I hear her do
and say and whatever, and to other people…

it's like, I can't.

Christine is as fake as a cubic zirconia.

[rap music continues]

Hi, babe. What are you doing?

Getting my hair done.

Oh. I'm at the restaurant.

-I'm about to meet Anna.
-Oh my goodness…

-I'm really nervous.
-Are you okay?

You know what you should do now?
Take a shot, girl.

My palm is sweating.

Will you stay on the phone?
I'm gonna go to the bar, okay?

-Come with me.
-[Kim] Okay.

All right.

Anna and I finally decided
to get together and talk

about what happened
at Almar and Guy's party,

and how come she invited Drew
without telling me?

What happened to our friendship?

Does she care we have or had a friendship?
I thought we were better friends.

-You got it, girl.
-Cheers.

-[laughs]
-Okay. Here it goes.

Yes!

-You go, girl.
-I might… need another one.

-All right, wish me luck.
-You got this.

[Kim] Okay, I got you.

-All right, I love you.
-I love you too.

-Bye.
-Bye.

[tense music plays]

Do you think it's rude to start eating
before someone gets here?

No, it's okay.

Of course, she's late. [sighs]

Yet again.

I feel like being late, it's like there's
a grace period of like 15, 30 minutes.

But the fact that she's always constantly
two hours late or more,

it's disrespectful
for other people's time.

-Hi, what are you doing?
-[Kane] Hi. How are you?

I'm… driving up West Third street.

-I'm meeting Anna for lunch.
-Are you serious?

Right now.
Should I hide the knife from her side?

-[Kane] What?
Should I hide the knives from her side?

He hung up on me.

Kelly.

-Hi, Anna.
-Hello, Kelly.

-How are you?
-Fine.

-I ate all the bread.
-Oh, good. Keep eating.

[laughs] I ate all of it because I was
waiting for you. Two hours exactly.

Yes. Is there somebody that can get us
some juice or something?

-You want a "drink" drink?
-I have some vodka.

In the afternoon?

-Hi.
-[waiter] Hi.

-Can I have my lemonade, please?
-[waiter] Yes.

Thank you. Two.

-[waiter] Two. I'll be right back.
-Yes. Thank you.

So, what's new?

What's new? Um…

I don't know what happened
or why you invited Andrew.

Um…

[tense music plays]

Because during our relationship, you were…

you know, you were giving me advice
to break out of the cycle

and break out of a toxic relationship.

How-- What changed? All of a sudden,
like, you guys are friends now?

-No.
-You guys are not friends.

Can you answer the question, then,
why did you bring Andrew to the party?

Because I felt bad.

You felt bad for what?

Andrew.

-You felt bad for Andrew?
-Mm-hmm.

-When Andrew came to me to apologize…
-Okay.

…I realized that I too was wrong.

So I needed to apologize to him.

Okay, so what does
that have to do with me?

I never took the time to say,
"Andrew, talk to me."

[Kelly] Mm-hmm.

So it's not fair.

-So I wasn't fair to him.
-Okay.

And I felt bad because I felt that
I was the cause of that by saying,

"Okay, there ain't no d*ck that good,"
and, "Kelly, what are you doing?"

And that's why, when we talked,

I said, "Do you wanna go?"
Because he really, sincerely, I felt…

I felt…

wanted to see you and talk to you

to say, "I am sorry."

You got to remember, Anna.

I looked at you as a friend
and I still do.

That's why we're having this conversation.
At the same time,

for me, I would've loved a heads-up.

I was really hurt when,
you know, you invited him to the party

without letting any of us know.

But there is a good side of him that,
unfortunately, a lot of people didn't see.

You know. So, I'm really happy that
you're seeing the other side of him.

-Me, I think about things.
-Yeah.

Because if you don't,
you don't learn from mistakes.

[Kelly] I'm all about second chances.

If Anna wants
to give Andrew another chance,

that's their business,

but I don't really need to give him
any more chances.

That's my choice.

-Thank you.
-Let's cheers first.

[Anna] Oh.

Cheers "truth"?

Truth. Okay.

-[Jamie] Hi.
-Hello.

-You look so pretty.
-Thank you. I like your dress too.

Thanks. This is vintage as well?

-It is. Are you wearing vintage?
-So cute.

-No, I'm not. Nice to see you.
-Okay.

Good to see you.

[Jamie] It's so pretty.

-Thank you.
-Okay.

[Christine] Have you been here?

I have never been here. Have you?

-Yes. I come here with Baby G a lot.
-Yeah?

Oh nice. It's like
an Italian pizza place, right?

Yes, but like the best pizza ever.

-The best? Okay.
-Yeah. Have you had pizza recently?

I'm not a pizza person. I'm not a pizza,
burger, or pasta person, honestly.

-I know it's weird.
-Huh. You're gonna need an alternate menu.

I'm gonna need the dessert menu.
No, I'm kidding. But yeah, so--

I called you here today because

I felt like ever since you…
knew my family background,

or you knew who my father was, that--

-I didn't know your family background.
-I know, but--

Here's the thing. I'm gonna speak,
and I'm gonna ask you to not interrupt.

I just wanna say it and then,
of course, you can speak after.

So, I feel like maybe it's not direct,
but I feel like there is some sort of,

almost like a bit of jealousy there.

-[laughs]
-And the thing is what you said about--

Me saying this phrase
regarding what this editor said.

Anna never said those words to me.

She said she never said
those words, like, period, to anybody.

I mean, I just don't really appreciate
myself to be dragged into this situation

that I feel like I shouldn't be…

have been involved in in the first place,
because, I mean, yeah, I don't know. So…

-My turn to speak?
-Yes.

-Okay. Let's address things one by one.
-Yeah.

I am not jealous of you.
Let's be really clear.

I've always supported you.

I love watching your fashion,

and I love supporting your rise
to the top in the world of fashion.

Secondly, I didn't drag you into this.
I didn't drag her into this.

It wasn't until I found out
that Kane was going around telling people,

not in a nice way
that I would've imagined,

because I thought he was my friend.

It wasn't until that time,
when push came to shove,

just to prove that I wasn't making sh*t up
when I said her name.

Who said it? I don't know who said it.
I don't think you're gonna share.

You actually know her.
It's the magazine editor we both know.

How does she know Anna?

I only know one person
who's connected to Anna.

-I also--
-Jaime?

I mean, that was the first time
that I said it, and I didn't want to,

but I also didn't want to be known
as a manipulating liar

that he was saying that I was.

So that's why I got involved. I--

And then I called her
and spoke to her extensively.

And I can, like-- I'll bet my entire life
and Baby G's and Dr. Chiu's,

everything, every ounce, everything I own,
on the fact that she said you said it.

I do not like people that drag others
into situations that they

were not even a part of at all.

I was just trying to make a point
that I wasn't making this up.

That was all.

But it kind of is made up
because where did it come from?

Talking to Christine is like talking to…

a wall with plastic surgery.

Are you not listening, Jaime?

I'm listening.
I didn't speak because I was listening.

Great. You're asking questions
that are indicative of your not listening.

Then you kind of threw me under the bus
by not verifying with me first.

That was inappropriate
for you to use my name--

It's not inappropriate because they asked,
"Who did this person say it was from?"

What should I have said? "I don't know"?
Because if I said I don't know,

then I would've been lying.

I think you've been lying this whole time.
That's the thing.
