Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[people chatting indistinctly]

[man] No, thanks.

[people chatting indistinctly]

[woman] No, thank you.

[Elliot] Excuse me, sir? Sir?

I, I think you dropped this.

Thank you, son.

[dramatic music]

[intriguing music]

[no audible dialogue]

[lighter clicks]

[Elliot exhales]

[woman speaking on phone]

Yeah, okay. That's a good idea.

Why don't you

send me the full pitch

first thing in the morning?

Okay, thank you. Bye.

[high heels clicking]

Hi.

[Sophie exhales]

I'm in room 706.

Oh. Uh, that's the kitchen.

[Elliot chuckles]

[bright music]

[elevator door rumbles]

[bright music continues]

[elevator door rumbles]

[Elliot] Uh, yeah,

can you just send me the,

the full pitch in the morning,

and then I can,

um, I can review it?

Okay. Yeah.

Uh, all right,

uh, thank you. I--

[pensive music]

[Elliot knocks]

[door clicks]

[Sophie] Mm, I was

hoping you'd really come.

[Elliot] They make us wait

till the last guest is gone

and, um, someone always lingers.

-Drink?

-Oh, uh--

Did you steal this?

The spoils of w*r.

[Sophie] Take off your backpack.

[cork squeaks and pops]

How old are you?

Oh. I thought you were younger.

Oh.

Cool.

[glasses clink]

Um, I, I'm Elliot, by the way.

Sophie.

[Elliot]

So where you visiting from?

[Sophie]

I live here in the city.

I just wanted a little, um--

[Elliot] Staycation?

Something like that. Yeah.

[Elliot chuckles]

What do you do for work?

Does it matter?

[sighs] Uh, I, I guess not.

[low dramatic music]

I, I, um,

can't say I've done

anything like this before.

[intense music]

Take your time, okay?

[intense music continues]

[shower water pattering]

[intense music continues]

[lips smacking]

[loud dramatic music]

[Sophie moaning]

[lips smacking]

[Sophie moaning]

[both moaning]

[zipper zips]

[Sophie] I have to go,

but sleep in, order breakfast.

[Elliot]

Oh, well, uh, no, that's okay.

I, I should go too.

[Sophie] I mean it. Stay.

[Sophie] You were, um,

really good last night.

I might need to see you again.

[Elliot] Might?

[Sophie whispering] I might.

I'll text you.

[door clicks]

[Elliot sighs]

[cheery music]

[keys rattling]

[door squeaks]

Mama, stop.

I know, I should've called.

[Peggy] This is unacceptable.

I was worried.

-Where were you?

-[Elliot] At, at work.

-And then making connections.

-All night?

No, I slept at a coworker's.

What if I had fallen

down the stairs?

I mean, what if you'd

come home and found me

at the bottom of the stairs?

Why would you even say that?

Don't, don't say that. No.

I'm sorry, okay?

I'm sorry, all right?

You must be hungry. Eggs?

No, I, I ate this morning.

I need a nap.

All right, well, this is stinky.

I got your laundry going.

[belt jingling]

[Peggy sniffs]

-Was it a girl?

-God, it's like

living with the CIA with you.

Gimme these.

I just thought, um,

maybe you met a nice girl.

No, Mama. No girls.

[door squeaks and clicks]

[dramatic music]

[singers vocalizing]

[bright music]

[Sophie voiceover]

Hey, Elliot. That was hot.

[Elliot voiceover]

Agree. So hot.

When can I see you again?

[Elliot panting]

[cell phone ringing]

[Sophie]

Hey, handsome.

Hey.

[Sophie]

Wanna go to Paris this weekend?

Mm, what, is Paris

some hot, new restaurant

I haven't heard about?

No. Paris, as in France.

It's for work. A few nights.

I thought maybe

you'd wanna join.

-Wait, you being serious?

-[Sophie] Mm-hmm.

You don't have some,

like, Parisian boyfriend?

Mm, maybe I want you there.

The thing is, um,

I have work this weekend.

Call in sick. It'll be fun.

I have to go into a meeting.

I'll send you some flights and

you see what you think, okay?

Okay.

What? [laughs]

[gentle music]

[singers vocalizing]

[gentle music]

[cell phone buzzes]

[Sophie voiceover]

I had to take an earlier flight.

-See you soon.

-[dramatic music]

[singers vocalizing]

[majestic music]

[door clicks]

[Sophie]

...stages of development.

Perfect. Thank you.

How was your flight?

Well, for a moment, I wondered

if I was being sex trafficked.

But once I got in that

little pod on the plane,

I didn't really care.

[Sophie] How do you know

you're not being sex trafficked?

[Elliot] Um...

You, you're, you're not even

gonna make me shower first?

[Sophie giggles]

[Elliot gasping]

[dramatic music]

[people chatting indistinctly]

[Sophie] Merci.

[Elliot] Thank you.

[Elliot sighs]

So, is this the part where

we get to know each other,

now that we got the sex

thing out of the way?

I guess so.

Well, we're here for your work,

yet I still have no idea

what you actually do.

Marketing for

pharmaceutical companies.

-Really?

-Yeah.

I'm a partner at the firm.

Is that what

you went to school for?

Yeah. Well, I mean,

uh, for marketing.

I never thought

I'd end up marketing drugs,

but you know, c'est la vie.

I didn't finish college.

-It's not for everyone.

-Still,

I do wonder what my life

would be like had I finished.

I literally went to one semester

and I just hated it.

What were you studying?

[Elliot] Business classes.

I was trying to make

my mother proud, you know?

You close?

Yeah.

[Sophie] Is she in New York?

Yeah. Um, not too far from me.

It's a blessing and a curse.

[waiter] Bonsoir.

[waiter speaking in French]

[Sophie speaking in French]

[waiter speaking in French]

[Elliot speaking in French]

-Mm?

-It's literally the one thing

my friend taught me how to say.

Thinking it could come in

handy sometime.

Well, are you?

Mm.

So when you're not stealing

bottles of champagne,

what are you passionate about?

Um, [sighs] well, I fancy myself

a photographer sometimes.

I mean, I haven't really,

like, done a lot with it.

I just, um, thought

about it a lot, I guess.

Oh, my God,

you must think I'm so lame.

College dropout. Barely a hobby.

And you met me

while I was cater-waitering.

So what?

Well, so I just imagine

that you probably

got a lot of other suitors

you could choose from.

Maybe they're not as hot.

Or maybe they just

don't f*ck good.

Maybe.

I had an older girlfriend

in high school.

Oh. Well, thank her for me.

[Elliot] I will.

So, um, do you, uh,

you know, um, family, kids?

[Sophie speaks in French]

[wine splashing]

[Sophie speaking in French]

[waiter speaking in French]

[Sophie speaking in French]

[waiter speaking in French]

[glasses clink]

So tell me about

this older girlfriend.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Nice try.

You can't avoid my question.

What question?

Um, family?

Kids? Husband?

Would it bother you?

If you were married?

Uh, I don't know.

I guess I'd feel kind of bad.

[Sophie] Why?

Why would I feel bad

f*cking someone's wife?

What if I told you that

we have an agreement

where we're allowed to

f*ck other people?

What if I told you that he likes

when I tell him about

the guys that I f*ck?

[whispering] I'm not married.

My God!

[Sophie laughs]

[waiter speaking in French]

Bon apptit!

[bright piano music]

-[Elliot] Where you taking me?

-[Sophie] You'll see.

[upbeat music]

-Merci.

-Sure.

[upbeat music continues]

[singers singing indistinctly]

[whispering]

I've been dying to ask.

Do you often fly a guy to Paris

after hanging out

with him just once?

I usually f*ck them twice

before I take

them out in public.

[Elliot] Do you have to go?

-[Sophie] Here.

-[Elliot] Oh.

-No, it, that's okay.

-Take it. Have fun.

[lips smacking]

[Elliot sighs]

[ethereal music]

[singers vocalizing]

[Sophie] How was your day?

This city is incredible.

-Right?

-Yeah.

[ethereal music]

[singers vocalizing]

[Elliot]

How was your day?

Mm, these clients are tough.

But I think I won them over.

-Yeah, you did.

-Mm-hmm.

[ethereal music]

[singers vocalizing]

[Sophie] Nice camera.

[Elliot] Yeah. I got it today.

Is that what you

spent the money on?

Um, yeah.

I mean, sorry, is that weird?

I, I can totally pay you back

-if it's weird.

-No.

-No.

-For real?

It's cute.

[ethereal music]

[Peggy]

Baby getting flown to Paris.

Will she have more work for you?

Maybe you could be

her assistant full time?

[Elliot]

Yeah, I don't know, I mean,

it was such a random gig.

[Peggy] I'm so happy for you.

I always wanted to go to Paris.

Thanks, Mama. You will one day.

I promise. I'll take you.

In the meantime, I'll just

have to bring Paris to you.

The Eiffel Tower.

Tell me about it. How was Paris?

-Tell me about Paris.

-I will in the morning.

-I promise I will.

-Okay.

Just with the time

difference and all--

-No, the time difference.

-Yeah.

-You get some rest.

-Yeah, over breakfast.

-Yeah.

-All right.

[lips smack]

Love you, Mama. Goodnight.

[Peggy]

I love you. Paris.

[automated voice]

Your call has been forwarded

to an automatic voice

message system.

[beep]

Hey. Hi.

It's me.

How are you?

I, uh, wanted to,

uh, take you out

as a, as a thank you.

I had an incredible

time in Paris.

Why don't you let me

thank you for all that?

[slow dramatic music]

[cell phone buzzes]

[Sophie voiceover]

How about Friday night?

[slow dramatic music]

Mama?

[sirens blaring]

-[Peggy] What's her name?

-Mama.

I knew you were

hiding someone from me.

[Elliot] Yeah, well,

it's 'cause we just met.

Oh. She pretty?

[Elliot] Oh, my God, next

you're gonna ask for her

Social Security number.

Yeah, she's pretty.

[Elliot] Yeah, she's pretty.

I'm happy for you.

I'm happy for you

if she's the one.

Mama, I told you,

it's our first date. Come on.

-So you two haven't, um--

-Mama.

I think I'm getting

my strength back.

I might go out today.

Maybe even make

an appointment at the salon.

That's great, Mama.

You're so handsome.

My handsome boy.

Thanks, Mama.

[mellow music]

[Elliot] Damn.

Um, my friend's in this play

and I've been dying to see it,

and I just thought maybe

that you'd like it too.

Oh.

Now, it is all over.

I've put the keys here.

The maids know all about

everything in the house

better than I do.

Tomorrow after I have left her,

Christine will come here

and pack up my own things that

I brought with me from home.

I will have them sent after me.

[sirens blaring]

So, what'd you think?

It was good.

Let's get that drink.

[upbeat music]

I know this ain't Paris, but--

No, no, it's great.

-What?

-It's great.

-You okay?

-Yeah.

Just got work on my mind.

Get it off your mind.

-Let loose a little, huh?

-Mm-hmm.

Of everything

The black water

where you don't know

The black water

where you think you're...

What do you have on tap?

Oh, ah, sorry,

um, she'll have a--

[Sophie] Oh, can I have a vodka

martini dry with a twist?

[Elliot] I'll, I'll do the same.

[bartender] Great.

[Elliot] Hey, hey, I'm

taking you out, remember?

-[Sophie] That's sweet.

-[Sam] Elliot!

Hey, thanks so much for coming.

Yeah. You were incredible.

-Dan.

-Hi. Sophie.

Stop, what did you

really think? [laughs]

No, I, I'm serious.

You were really amazing.

Uh, Sam, this is Sophie.

Sophie, this is my friend Sam.

Hi. You were great.

Thank you so much.

Uh, can, can I buy you a drink?

Let me get you a drink

as a congratulations.

[laughs] Sure. Vodka soda lime.

Can I get a vodka soda lime

for my friend?

[bartender] Yeah.

-And a--

-Modelo.

And a Modelo.

[upbeat music]

[Sophie clears throat]

We, we met at work,

and this is crazy,

but last weekend

we went to Paris together.

-Wait, what?

-Wait, seriously?

Yeah, it was incredible.

It was a work trip. I figured

why not bring a companion?

-That's amazing.

-Why not?

[Sam laughs]

-Casual.

-Yeah, and, uh,

we went to this,

like, super wild show.

Um, it was like, like a cabaret,

but, um, super classy.

And there...

Thanks. There were

these two dancers.

There was a guy and a girl.

Um, the dude, he, he'd,

uh, he'd lift the girl up

above his head while

she was doing the splits.

-Yeah.

-[Sam] Hot. [chuckles]

-[Dan] That's hot.

-[Elliot] Yeah.

[Dan] Babe,

when are we going to Paris?

[Sam] Uh, when we're

both series regulars.

[Dan] Uh-huh. Okay.

-[Sam] So--

-[Dan] Soon-ish? Maybe?

Maybe never. [laughs]

Guys, wasn't she

incredible tonight?

Mm, yeah.

[Dan] And so hot. Look.

It's getting late and I had

so much work to do,

so I'm gonna

let you guys catch up.

Okay. Do you wanna go?

No, no, no.

I, I really have to go.

Um, it's really nice

to meet you both.

Congrats again on your play.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

[lips smack]

Um, uh, to you, Sam. Congrats.

[glasses clink]

-Sophie seems super nice.

-She's cool, man.

-Oh.

-Yeah.

Yeah, she's, um,

Sophie's amazing. Yeah.

But super busy, you know?

Like a, a true boss.

You know what, I just realized

I forgot to tell her something.

Um, will you hang on just

one second? I'll be right back.

I just gotta tell her

something important

-real quick.

-Yeah. Sure.

-You okay?

-Of course. Why?

Well, I don't know, you just...

Uh, I thought

we were having a night.

I, I thought we could

end up at yours even.

I have a meeting

very early in the morning.

[lips smacking]

[Sophie moans]

You feel how f*cking hard I am?

[lips smacking]

Your place.

But I can't stay long.

[door clicks]

[door squeaks]

[door clicks]

[lips smacking]

[dramatic music]

[both moaning]

[Sophie]

I'm sorry I have to run.

[sighs] Yeah, yeah. I get it.

Don't worry.

I'll call you a car.

[Sophie] No, no, no,

that's okay. Thank you, though.

[Sophie sighs]

Thanks again for tonight.

Lovely.

[Elliot]

Yeah. I had a really nice time.

[lips smacking]

Hold on a second, my, uh, sorry,

my roommate lives down the hall

and she's just a little crazy.

-The coast is clear.

-Coast is clear.

[pensive music]

-[driver] For Elliot?

-Yeah.

[dramatic music]

[Elliot sighs]

[dramatic music continues]

[intense music]

[Elliot sobbing]

[Peggy sobbing]

It's okay, it's okay. It's okay.

Oh. Oh, no.

-Oh.

-[Elliot sobs]

[Peggy and Elliot sobbing]

[woman] It offers

a platform to disseminate

information quickly, interact

directly with stakeholders,

and build brand awareness.

However, it also comes with

its own set of challenges,

especially regarding

regulatory compliance

and maintaining trust.

[man] Yeah, it's definitely

a balancing act.

We must adhere to

strict regulations

set by bodies like the FDA.

-They must ensure that--

-[upbeat music on phone]

[woman 2] Stop scrolling

if you're searching for a gift.

[man 2]

If you don't like raisins,

you probably don't like

oatmeal raisin cookies.

But you're gonna like these

because they have dried

cherries instead of raisins.

[man 3]

This is actually one of the most

confusing sentences

in the English language.

When we say "it is raining,"

what is "it"?

[woman 3] Guys,

I've got this viral mascara

that I have been

seeing everywhere,

and everyone says

it is changing their life.

[man 4]

We all walk out. We seem--

[phone locks]

[Sophie sighs]

[upbeat music]

I've been in my head, yeah

Static in my bed, but

Maybe I'm the one

who struck this out

Movie in the clouds, yeah

Memory so loud, but

I can't find the knob

to turn this down

[receptionist] Hey, Sophie.

How was Paris?

[Sophie] It was great.

Brought you some chocolate.

-Well, thank you.

-See you later.

-Have a great day. See you.

-Thank you. You too.

Surprised me

Paranoia silver lining

He's denying

I can feel him trying

Love surprised me

Paranoia silver lining

Is it just a game with you

'Cause I been

running away from you

I'm afraid

I feel the same as you

The same as you

The memories I make with you

Changed me

to a saint for you

What you thought

don't make it true

So let me lie next to you

One kiss can drown

all the voices in my head

[suspenseful music]

[Sophie] Yes. Right.

-[David] What happened? I mean--

-I really don't know.

They loved

the presentation in Paris.

[David]

Yeah, well, then why are they

talking to other companies?

I'm as confused as you are.

But I convinced them

to give us another chance.

I'll have a new

presentation done

by the time

they're in town next week.

Okay, great. Well,

why don't I help you with that?

David, I've got this.

-Okay. I'll tell the board.

-Thank you.

[sighs] I am so sorry.

I have no doubts

you k*lled it in Paris.

I did.

Thanks for

swinging by last night.

Oh, yeah, of course.

Your pitch is gonna be great.

-Thanks for your notes.

-Mm-hmm.

[dramatic music]

[Sophie sighs]

[cell phone dings]

[Elliot voiceover]

Free this weekend?

[Sophie groans]

Okay.

[David] We went through

all the details today.

We anticipate having to propose

it to you pretty shortly.

When do you think

you can have that, Sophie?

[Sophie] I think we're gonna

sell this like a m*therf*cker.

-Okay, so by Wednesday?

-Yeah. Wednesday.

-Thank you for coming.

-It was a pleasure.

-Nice to meet you.

-[man] It's great. A pleasure.

-Karen.

-[Karen] Pleasure.

-Pleasure. Be well.

-Nice to meet you.

I'll walk you out.

I'm gonna walk them out, okay?

-See you tomorrow.

-Yeah.

Want to, uh,

grab a drink next door?

I hear they make

a k*ller negroni.

No, I can't. I'm sorry.

But, um, it was a good meeting,

don't you think?

Yeah, I thought it went well.

-See you later.

-All right.

Bye.

[traffic rumbling]

[people speaking indistinctly]

No one has to cry

trying to prove

How much anyone

can stand to lose

-It's okay

-[cell phone dings]

I'll just take

the wrong way home

[Elliot voiceover] Hey, sexy.

I'll have to

see it through here

And fix it if it's gone

[upbeat music]

[sultry music]

[both moaning]

[Sophie moans]

[trainer] One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Keep breathing, that's good.

[cell phone dings]

[Elliot voiceover]

Hey, are you okay?

[Sophie voiceover]

Listen, Elliot.

I had a great time with you,

but I want to be honest.

I don't think we're a match.

I wish you nothing but the best.

[car engines rumbling]

[Elliot sighs]

[intense music]

[Elliot breathing heavily]

-[Morgan knocks]

-[Sophie] Hmm?

Uh, hey, there's someone

downstairs for you.

Uh, security says

he's being kind of stubborn.

Elliot something.

Tell them I'll be right down.

-Sure.

-Mm-hmm.

[Sophie]

What are you doing here?

[Elliot] I can't believe

you'd just text me like that.

And also you lied to me.

What?

-You are with someone.

-No, I'm not.

And it's none of

your business either way.

What made you think that?

Because I just, uh,

I thought, um...

I mean,

what did I even do wrong?

Nothing.

I'm sorry if I gave you

the wrong impression.

The, the wrong impression?

Uh, gee, I don't know,

maybe when someone

flies you to f*cking Paris,

you might tend to think

that it's something meaningful.

I thought it was a fun idea.

Fun idea.

Yeah. Didn't you have fun?

Of course I had fun.

That's why I'm upset.

There's no reason to be upset.

We both had fun.

And it's a great memory.

And now we move on.

I don't wanna lose you.

And now we move on, Elliot.

[Elliot voiceover]

I can't believe you blocked me.

Well, here's my new number.

-[receptionist] Sophie.

-[Sophie] Morning.

A young man left this for you.

He was in and out,

didn't leave his name.

[automated voice] At the tone,

please record your message.

[beep]

Listen up. You do not wanna

f*ck with me, you understand?

[phone slams]

[slow dramatic music]

[Sophie] I'm sorry I'm late.

Don't be sorry. You're here.

[Sophie]

Thank you. I needed this.

-How was Paris?

-Mm. Ah, busy.

But, you know,

beautiful as always.

Take me next time.

I would love you to come,

but the trips are so short.

Speaking of short trips,

do not make me visit Mom alone.

sh*t. Is that this weekend?

-Yes!

-Oh.

Well, I have this,

I have a huge

presentation I have to do.

You always have

something you have to do.

I know, I know.

But this account can

make me a senior partner.

Oh, yes.

Look at this sh*t.

What is up with you?

It's like you're always

sh**ting off this sexual energy.

I can't help it.

Well, why don't you

take him home?

No, I never take them home.

Yeah, he's probably

too old for you.

Mm, probably.

Don't you wanna find somebody?

Oh, Lord.

I just want you to be happy.

I know you want me

to be happy. I am happy.

Mm.

You know that

meditation you sent me

about self-love

and feeling whole?

I don't need someone

to make me feel whole.

And it's not like

I'm not looking.

I hate the way

you just f*cking turned

my positive energy

meditation against me.

That was good. [chuckles]

What do you think about that,

um, ketamine therapy

I was talking about?

-I texted you.

-Um...

Oh, yeah. No, I, I've heard

good things about that.

A what?

-No, I--

-What, are you thinking

-about taking him home or--

-No, sorry.

-[chuckling]

-I just, there's,

I just, it's the presentation.

No work talk tonight.

It's girls' night out. [laughs]

Hey, you wanna go

skydiving again?

Again?

[deep orchestral music]

[cell phone dings]

[Elliot voiceover]

Look, I f*cked with you.

What are you gonna do?

[deep orchestral music

continues]

[object rattling]

[foreboding music]

[elevator door clangs]

[foreboding music continues]

Did you just

send my elevator up?

No.

That's so weird. It just

opened without me calling it.

That's never happened before.

Well, I'll, I'll look into it.

-Okay. Thank you.

-Also, uh, this came for you.

I didn't let anybody in.

It was slipped under the door.

-Okay.

-Okay.

I don't know what to tell you.

[deep orchestral music]

[inaudible dialogue]

[Sophie voiceover]

Let's meet up and talk, okay?

Same bar

we went to after the play.

Um, do you, uh, you

need me for anything else?

-The floor is cleared?

-Yeah.

[cell phone dings]

[Elliot voiceover]

I'm not coming into the city.

You'd have to come to me.

[Jane sighs]

All right. You can leave.

-All right. Thanks, Jane.

-Yeah. Thank you.

[singer singing indistinctly]

[upbeat music]

[singer singing indistinctly]

[people chatting indistinctly]

[Sophie gasps]

[Elliot laughs]

sh*t. Jesus. What the f*ck?

[Elliot coughs and laughs]

Well, now you know

what it's like to wait.

[Sophie] What?

What it's like to wait.

When I waited to hear back

from you, it was like t*rture.

Okay. Well, why don't we sit

down and talk like grownups?

-I need a drink.

-I think you've had enough.

The spoils.

I missed you.

-Elliot, listen.

-Shh.

None of this, "Elliot, listen."

So astute, so serious. Relax.

-What is going on?

-Oh, aggressive. Oh.

Um, I'm good. Thank you.

Cater-waitering. Taking photos.

I think I'm getting pretty good.

Well, you've seen my best work.

[bartender] Hey, how's it going?

What can I get you?

Um, two martinis. Vodka twist.

Vodka preference?

[whispering] No.

All right.

[singer singing indistinctly]

It was Sam, wasn't it?

I shouldn't have taken you

to a friend's show,

and then her and her

lame-a*s boyfriend showed up.

And I guess that made

you uncomfortable and--

I wasn't, uh, expecting

a double-date, yeah, situation.

Here you are.

Wanna start a tab or?

[Sophie]

No. Close it out, please.

Here.

[people chatting indistinctly]

[glasses clink]

I felt you pull away that night.

And it happened so fast.

Just one of those

things that happens.

Surely you've liked someone

and then changed your mind.

I doubt it.

We're in different

places in our lives.

Can we start over? Look.

Hi.

Hi. Hi, I'm Elliot.

It's nice to meet you.

I need you to promise me

that you are gonna stay away

from my work and my home.

You're way hotter

than your sister.

You're not promising me.

I don't need to make promises!

I'm not a child.

We're starting over. Remember?

Hi, look, hi. Hi.

I'm Elliot.

It's nice to meet you.

Hi, Elliot. Nice to meet you.

I'm Sophie.

I'm a huge fan of your work.

In fact, I'd like to buy

some of your photos.

They're not for sale.

Here. Take this and go away.

[upbeat music]

You think you can buy

anybody, don't you?

Elliot, there are tons

of women in this city

who would love

to go out with you.

Go find them.

[high heels clicking]

[upbeat music]

[car horn honks]

[envelope thuds]

You are being insane!

Don't call me insane!

[gasps] I'm not insane.

-Let's just f*ck right here.

-What?

-Elliot!

-So I can fix it.

Let go of me! Let go of me!

[Sophie shrieks]

[Sophie grunts]

[Elliot groans]

[intense music]

[Elliot coughs]

[intense music continues]

[singers vocalizing]

[Morgan] Hold, please.

[phone rings]

-[Sophie] Yeah?

-Derek from Biochem.

Who?

Sure. Put him through.

Yes?

[Elliot] I just jerked off

thinking about last night.

I don't want the other

women in this city.

I want you.

And I know you want me too.

Think about what we had.

So beautiful, so perfect.

We can get there again.

I think you just need to be

a little bit more open-minded.

And maybe we should

go back to Paris.

No matter what, I won't stop

trying to make this work.

I know you'll come around.

Anyway, you're probably

just busy at work,

so I'll let you go,

but I'll see you real soon.

-[Sophie] Elliot, no.

-Okay.

-I have made myself

-Bye.

very clear, when we--

[singers vocalizing]

[Elliot giggling]

[intense music]

[Sam] Sure,

he's strange sometimes,

but I didn't peg him

as a stalker.

Although we're not super close.

Do you want me to talk to him?

Oh, no. Thank you though.

But I, I think that that

would trigger him even more.

I mean... [sighs]

I guess

I'm just trying to find out

if he's done anything

like this before,

because I'm handling it myself.

But if he's, you know,

if he's been dangerous...

Maybe you should go to the cops.

They're not gonna do

anything about it at this stage.

How do you know him?

Cater-waiter gig.

I had a bit of a crush.

He wasn't interested.

[Sophie] Lucky you.

[Sam]

I guess I feel bad for him.

I mean, sure, he's hot,

but I don't think

he has many friends.

What about his roommate?

What's her deal?

Roommate? He lives with his mom.

She has some kind of autoimmune

thing or chronic fatigue.

I don't know.

She's a total agoraphobe.

Maybe this episode

was just a one-off.

I mean, I can see him

falling for you hard.

Like, you did take him

to Paris for a second date.

I go all the time.

It didn't seem that wild.

Well, it's a big deal

for someone like him.

[dramatic music]

[blankets rustling]

[dramatic music continues]

[fists thudding]

[trainer] Yep.

[dramatic music]

[cell phone dings]

[Elliot voiceover]

Hey, baby. You look sexy.

[suspenseful music]

[cell phone dings]

Come find me.

[Sophie voiceover] Why are

you hiding, you little b*tch?

[foreboding music]

Hey!

Stop, stop! What the f*ck?

I'm, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I, uh,...

I, um, don't know

what's going on with me.

I've never experienced

anything like this before.

I always dreamed of

feeling like this,

but I never thought

it was possible,

because I work these sh*t gigs,

paycheck to paycheck,

and I have nothing else

going on for me.

But then I met you and I could

see you being my whole world,

and I can't stand to think

that you're done with me.

I love you, Sophie.

Please give me another chance.

-I can't.

-You can.

I don't want to.

[shouting] f*ck, you're being

such a f*cking b*tch!

[Sophie shrieks]

[intense music]

[line ringing]

-[receptionist] Hi, Sophie.

-Did you just send

-someone up?

-No.

The elevator door

just opened again.

-I'm so sorry, I'll--

-[Sophie sighs]

Okay. Get this fixed.

[suspenseful music]

[foreboding music]

-[Sophie grunting]

-[trainer] Get it. Keep going.

There you go. Yeah.

Get mad, mad. Get it.

Come on, yeah. Come on.

One, two, one, two, one, two.

[dramatic music]

[Sophie and Peggy giggling]

[Peggy] Yeah, 'cause you know,

I went out last week,

and my neighbor,

you know, he said that, uh,

chronic fatigue isn't real,

and that, uh, you know,

I'm psychosomatic and that

I'm just your garden variety

agoraphobic or,

you know, whatever.

Oh, well, what does

your neighbor know?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

And then the,

you know, there's radiation.

I mean, like, with the cells

and the Wi-Fi and all of that.

-[door squeaks and slams]

-Mm-hmm. That's interesting.

Oh, hey, baby. Hey.

Oh, uh, this is Sophie.

Um, this is my son, Elliot.

Sophie is from a big medical

research company and--

-[Sophie] Yes.

-She does house calls.

[Sophie chuckles]

Uh, she thinks that,

um, I, I, I'd be

a good candidate for a, um...

[Sophie and Peggy]

Clinical trial.

-Yes.

-[Sophie and Peggy laugh]

-Can you believe the luck?

-Yes.

But I was just leaving.

It was so lovely to meet you,

and I can't wait

to talk to you more

when you contact my office.

-[Peggy laughs]

-Okay?

Elliot. So nice to meet you.

-Bye, Peggy.

-[Peggy] Oh, bye.

-Bye, now. Bye.

-Bye.

Honey, you,

uh, you look exhausted.

You, you ran too far.

Baby. Baby, look. [laughs]

I'm, I'm, I'm gonna

make you a protein shake

with some, um,

strawberry-mango flavor.

Okay? That's a new one.

[dramatic piano music]

[cell phone dings]

[Elliot voiceover]

You win. Leave Mama alone.

That's right, m*therf*cker.

[Sophie laughing]

[dramatic piano music]

[singers vocalizing]

[high heels clicking]

I just heard! I am so sorry.

[dramatic music]

[David] The French are gonna

be here in an hour and a half.

Thank God

they didn't see anything.

So what?

Sophie, you're gonna

f*cking hate this,

but I'm gonna lead

this presentation.

No, you're not.

I've been working night and day

on this new presentation.

This is my account,

David. It's mine.

-I'm sorry.

-They're expecting

-me in there.

-As senior partner--

-You need me.

-I'm making this call.

[Sophie sighs]

[fists thudding]

[shrieking, voice cracking]

I told you not to f*ck with me!

[dramatic music]

Sorry I'm late.

Nice to see you again. Bonjour.

Thank you, David,

for filling in for me.

So lovely to see you.

[deep dramatic music]

[Sophie continues inaudibly]

[door squeaks]

[Peggy gasps]

Oh, my Elliot. What?

What? [sobs] Oh.

Elliot. Elliot. [sobs]

Oh my God. Elliot!

Oh, Elliot! Elliot!

-Mama.

-Oh, oh, oh. [whimpers]

I found someone,

Mama. She's the one.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Mama, she's the one.
