Cover letter?

Typo free.

Resume?

Typo free.

Ok, let's stuff 'em.

Well, you know,

I could fax from my house.

We have one. Isn't he the best?

No, you are the best.

Well, I'd better go fax these.

I love you.

Yeah. Bye.

Hi. Bye.

Hi. Bye.

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, what's going on?

Jamie loves her.

Oh, is it the first time

For those 3 little words?

Apparently so.

They do wonders.

Hey, I couldn't decide which blue to get.

For the sky. For the backdrops.

Too many choices.

Hmm. I was just saying that.

Hey, did he tell you?

I'm starring and directing

In the musical version of pygmalion.

Wouldn't that be my fair lady?

Uh, it would be if we could afford the rights.

But the whole thing is for charity.

We donate the ticket sales

To strippers who don't have health insurance.

And me and my friend

Had to write our own songs.

♪ I've got it bad for a girl ♪

♪ Who doesn't talk so good ♪

Wow. And here I thought

You weren't paying any attention.

Fooled you.

Come on. Let's get going

Before the paint place closes.

Oh, right.

Hey, claudia.

Congratulations on the him loving you thing.

Where is she?

How come she's not out yet?

She's probably still saying good-bye

To some of her new friends.

What if it's the wrong day?

It's not.

It's not the wrong day. I promise.

What if it is?

She's gonna be out in a second. Ok?

Mommy, mommy,

Mommy, mommy, mommy!

Oh. Oh, nattie.

You know what?

I owe you a million kisses.

I missed you so much.

I know. I know, sweetie.

Me, too.

Every second.

Hey. Hey.

You look--

You look beautiful.

You look really good.

Yeah? Yeah.

Thanks.

It's good to see you,

Annie.

Is it?

Yeah.

It is.

So, uh,

We ought to...

Oh.

Wow. Look how long your hair's gotten.

You're gonna be able to sit on it, aren't you?

Oh, man.

Man, that--

That'll teach you

Not to ask me what's new.

Is it all right for me to hate him?

I mean, is that acceptable?

No, don't hate him.

I don't hate him.

Look, you weren't here.

So they let you out without any finals?

You just have 2 more papers to write?

No, no. Wait a minute.

That's--

Forget about that stuff.

We're talking about you.

I mean, why is this ok?

Why is what he did acceptable?

It's not.

I didn't say that.

But I did stuff to him, too.

Yeah.

Look, we're trying.

I love him,

And I think he still loves me,

And we're trying to find some way

To make things normal again.

But I can't, uh,

I can't listen to you

Say bad things about him, ok?

Yeah. Ok.

Um...

I have an idea.

Mm-hmm?

It doesn't involve

Either of us talking.

Not that much.

Um...

Why don't we sleep together?

What?

Yeah. That way both of you

Will have been with one other person.

You are such a brat!

Well, it's just a thought.

There was somebody famous

In my group therapy.

Oh, yeah?

Who?

Oh, um...

You know what?

I probably shouldn't tell.

So.

So.

You know what?

Um, we ch-changed the typeface

On the front of the menu.

Really?

Yeah. To what?

Uh, it's some kind of...

Script thing.

I don't know.

Is this conversation as dumb as it sounds?

I just-- I don't know if I should

Ask you about stuff that went on there,

Or if you want to talk about that?

Not yet.

It--it's just...

I want to take things slow.

Right now.

But, um...

You could kiss me.

Yeah?

'Cause I'd like that.

God...

I missed this.

I missed you.

Me, too.

Daphne: you have to. You have to do this.

All I said I'd do is paint sets.

Do you not understand?

We go up in 2 days,

And I just lost my lead.

I'm sorry, daphne.

I'm doing smurfs on ice.

I'm papa smurf.

You should have had an understudy.

I'm an optimist, charlie.

Come on! You know the play.

I know you know it.

I'm doing all this job stuff now.

I have to focus on that.

I don't have time to rehearse.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Tap-dancing for some heads of personnel.

Boy, that's fun.

That's how to live it up.

Daphne.

Great.

Then I'll just--

I'll just call the foundation

And tell them that we won't be contributing

Anything

Because we had to cancel,

Because our henry higgins

Is skating around the cow palace

In a royal blue onesie.

(Sighs)

You don't have anybody else?

I mean, maybe somebody that's done this before,

One of the guys in the chorus?

Why...

Would I settle

For a cubic zirconium...

When there is a big, shiny,

Sexy diamond standing right

In front of me?

Man, is it snowing in here, or what?

Please?

Pleeease?

No, that sounds good.

Just make sure that "walk to the beach"

Isn't, like, 18 miles or uphill or anything.

Ok, good.

Let me know. Bye.

Who was that?

Dana. We're thinking about getting

A beach house this summer.

Dana and me and janet and other janet.

Santa cruz maybe.

You know, hang out.

Get some waitressing jobs.

I can use you as a reference, right?

Would you be gone all summer?

Maybe. You know,

If we decide to do it,

Then, yeah.

Huh. That'd be weird.

Not having you around here.

Have you seen my blue tie,

The one with the little squares

All over it?

Thank you.

Well, you'll probably be too busy

To even notice.

I mean, you and annie are obviously...

I don't know what annie and I are.

Or aren't.

I mean, everything I thought of

To say to her was like,

What land mine is this gonna set off?

It was weird, because one second

She was saying how she wanted to take

Everything slow,

And the next minute

We're ripping each other's clothes off.

It's like we jumped into bed

So we wouldn't have to talk.

You know?

I'll take your word for it.

I've been reading the same page over and over

For the last half hour.

Uh-huh.

Listen, uh,

I'm gonna get out of here

For a few days.

What?

This friend of mine, lonny, from

The merchant marines,

He's got a little cabin outside of taos.

Wait. Taos?

Why are you--

Because...

Every time I walk back in this place,

It gets smaller.

Every time I go inside,

Your family,

They just give me the evil eye.

No, they don't.

You don't have to--

I'm leaving friday, all right?

The airline's running some special

Weekend deal.

I wish you wouldn't do this.

I mean, I know that things

Feel messy right now,

But if you stay, griffin,

If you just hang in there, and we keep working

On this, then...

(Sighs)

Please don't run away.

I'm not running away.

I just--i need like, 2 days of no fighting

Or blaming or feeling this...

Whatever it is.

I--i need to get out of here.

Ok. Ok, so then what if we go together?

Someplace. Anyplace. You pick.

Julia--

No, you're right. You're completely right.

It would be good for us to get away.

You don't get--

I need time away from you.

(Cockney accent) a, b, c, d--

Stop!

Listen to this, pickering.

This poor, unfortunate animal

Has been locked up for...

Uh, line.

"9 Years."

For 9 years in...

In school at our expense

To learn to speak and read the language

Of, uh...

Line.

"Shakespeare and milton."

Right.

Well, charlie, I hope you're better

At your job interview

Than you are with these speeches.

Hey, I think I'm doing ok, considering.

Give me a break.

Man, if anybody ever told me that you would

End up in a musical with...

Like, this complete lunatic from,

Like, the planet zork...

Not in a million years.

That's what happens.

Meet one person, and it changes your

Whole life like that.

Man, I haven't worn these things

In months.

They're all scuffed.

Here, gimme.

There's, uh, there's polish downstairs.

I'll miss you.

You, too.

Um, ok, fine, we could, uh...

We could have a movie marathon

All weekend.

How about that? No. I know.

I know. I know. We'll go to, uh,

People's park,

And we'll catch squirrels,

And we'll train them as our pets.

How's that, huh?

See? You like that, huh?

Or we could, uh, we could teach them

To be our little rodent helpers.

When did you get back?

Couple days ago.

Oh.

No one said.

Really? I thought i--

No. No. No, you didn't.

So--so she tell you what's going on with us?

You know, I hear that they have, uh,

Some really nice art galleries

Up in taos.

I don't know if I'm going anymore.

I don't think right now would be the best time.

It is so nothing compared to what you did

For me and natalie.

I actually feel a little silly.

No, it's sweet.

Bailey, look what annie made me.

Yeah, I know. I got a lanyard.

Which meeting are you going to tonight?

1:30. Then I can pick nat up

From school after.

Huh. 1:30.

Well, maybe if I can get the chicken guy

To come a half hour early,

I can swing by after and get you.

If I had his number here, I'd give him a call.

Um...

Or...

No. Actually, we could just--we'll catch up

Later on tonight,

Depending on--

No, no. Tonight's good.

Can we do dinner?

Yeah, dinner.

Yeah, i--i'll bring by some...

Um...

You know, we'll figure it out later.

Ok. So I gotta get going.

I'll see you later.

Bye.

Yikes.

Somebody should definitely switch to decaf.

He's terrified...

You know, of, uh, of doing the wrong thing or

Saying the wrong thing.

And it's not just him.

It's me, too.

I'm scared, too,

'Cause it would be so easy to...

You know, I'm sorry.

Is this awkward for me to be talking

About this to you?

No.

It's, uh...

No.

Ugh. This is so hard.

You know, if only we could stay

In bed all the time.

You know what? We'd be fine.

We would be perfect,

Because there, we're like 100%

Completely in sync.

Uh-huh.

And when we're...

Well, it's not like he's just doing for me.

It's--it's mutual.

Wow. Ahem.

You know what? It really helps

To talk to you.

Here. Don't forget this.

Look...justin,

You don't have to--you don't have to baby-sit me all day.

You can go home. I'm not depressed

Or anything.

You sure?

'Cause I'd be.

I mean, I can't believe

What a jerk he was to you before.

Actually, no, that's not true.

I can believe it.

Ok, for the last time, that doesn't help me.

You saying stuff like that doesn't help me.

I'm trying to save my marriage, justin.

I don't need--

Why? Why are you trying to save it?

I told you already.

I still love him.

I'm not ready to give up yet.

God.

I don't want to be 19 and have to check "divorced"

When I'm filling out a form for a credit card

Or--or a driver's license renewal.

Yeah, kind of messes up your permanent record,

Right?

Something like that.

That's so you.

"I can't fail my road test."

"I can't fail my midterms."

"I can't fail my marriage."

Well, it's true.

If i...

If we split up, no matter what I do

For the rest of my life,

I'm gonna have that.

I'm gonna have that mark against me.

I would have an ex-husband.

I'd be an ex-wife.

Yeah, well, so what?

You know, people fail things, julia.

People make mistakes.

It happens.

Nobody's gonna judge you for it.

Nobody that you love is gonna love you

Any less.

You know, you spend a hell of a lot of time

Trying to prove to everybody

That you and griffin aren't a mistake.

No, I don't.

Yeah, you do.

Look...

If you're gonna stay with him,

Just do me a favor.

Make sure it's for a good reason

And not because you think it

Looks bad to leave.

Charlie. Hey, man.

Joe already signed these.

They're the transfer documents for the liquor license.

So, whenever you get a chance.

As soon as we're done here.

Cool.

What is this guy brian, a gorilla?

Oh, the hell with him.

(Cockney accent) you're my 'enry 'iggins

Now, lovey.

Hey.

How'd the interview go, charlie?

Oh, right. I forgot about that.

Daphne: so?

Um, it's an interesting place.

I might go back there next week. We'll see.

You know what I hate?

When you go into some offices

And you look at those chairs

With those butt imprints

On them.

It's, like, 10, 20 years

Of sitting, sitting, sitting.

God, I know.

It's to be avoided at all costs.

Right, 'cause it's not like he has

A family to support

Or bills to pay or anything.

Well, I've got a hot date with the sewing machine.

Oh, and we changed rehearsal to, um, 2:30, ok?

Later.

Bye.

Julia, you have something to say?

Not particularly, no.

Yeah? 'Cause you were kind of pissy

With daphne just now.

Well, does she have a say in your life now?

I mean, that's who you're going to

For career advice,

Someone whose main source of income is

Taking their clothes off?

Excuse me. She happens to be

My friend.

Well, is she more than a friend?

Heh. What if she is?

Do you have a problem with that?

Julia, come on.

So what if she's a little...wacky.

There's--there's a lot of people,

It's not obvious why they're together,

But they make it work.

Wacky?

No. No, you're wrong.

'Cause if it's not obvious why 2 people are together,

Bay, like you said,

And pretty much everybody thinks it's wrong that

They're together,

And you have this voice that you keep

Trying to drown out,

But it's saying the same thing, too,

You know what?

Maybe you are wrong for each other.

I think I'm allergic to your aftershave.

Really?

I'm sorry.

No. No, no, it's ok.

It's--it's good, actually.

At least we're talking.

You're right. It is good.

So...

What were you thinking just now?

Actually, I was thinking that the thing

That you did before

With your tongue in my ear...

Yeah?

I kind of didn't like that.

It made me feel like I should go get a q-tip

Or something.

All right.

All right.

I--i...

That was honest.

I can accept that.

One other thing,

Besides that aftershave...

I was...

I was thinking, um, I'm surprised

That you're here.

With me. Now.

I...

Well, i-- you know, I didn't

Necessarily expect

That you would be here for me

When I got back.

Really?

You really thought that?

Bailey, you did leave before.

Well, yeah, I did, but--but...

When you look at it now, it's like I did you a favor.

Well, how do you figure that?

Well, I mean...

I left, and you got help.

It's like you waited until I was

Out of here and then--

Wait. I got help when I could face that

I really needed it.

I mean, isn't that what you wanted?

O-ok. Ok, fine.

Oh.

You know what? I see.

What?

Are you mad 'cause I didn't

Let you rescue me?

No. No. Is that it?

That's not it. I'm not mad.

I'm--i'm...

I'm not mad at you. Look...

This was a bad idea. Let's just--

What? What, another roll in the hay?

We can keep our mouths busy

So we don't have to say anything?

No, that is not...

Look...

Maybe I should go.

Why don't you?

We have therapy in the morning.

At 11:00, I think.

Since you're not going away.

Uh-uh.

I'll pass.

You're not gonna come?

That's what I said.

We can't get our money back for the appointment.

It's too late.

Yeah. Whatever.

Griffin, do--do you care about this relationship or not?

'Cause every day that goes by that

You're like this,

Cold and--and distant like you are now,

It's only gonna make it harder to ever be ok again.

I mean, you know that, right?

Is that your theory or justin's?

What?

You just had to go tell him, huh?

You just had to run and tell him everything.

He's one of my best friends.

What was I supposed to do, lie?

Man, just the idea of this smart-ass guy

That you slept with

Knowing what's going on with us...

And having an opinion about it.

I hate that.

What is this?

Everything is a fight all the time--

My friend. Your trip. Do we go to therapy?

Don't we go to therapy?

I mean, we can't have one conversation without it

Turning into an argument.

Why is that?

Why is that, griffin?

I don't know.

Why don't you go ask justin?

I'm going to sleep.

What's the matter? It was going great.

It doesn't make sense.

The song doesn't make sense.

Sure it does.

How come he can hear what she's saying,

And she can't hear what he is?

It's a song, charlie.

It doesn't have to be logical.

Well, I don't get it.

Ok, you're just nervous,

Which is ok. It's ok.

I mean, god, I remember the night before

My first bachelor party,

I threw up, like, 6 times.

Which is great, actually, 'cause I looked really

Skinny in my g-string.

I didn't say that I was nervous.

Ok. Fine.

You're not nervous.

Can we keep going then?

No. No,

'Cause it would be this giant help

If I knew what we were singing about.

You are singing about a man who

Is such a pain in the ass

That when he's with the woman that he loves,

He acts like such a jerk that she thinks he hates her.

Yeah. Like those 2 people are ever gonna

End up together.

Well, honey, that's kind of the point

Of the entire play.

So either you buy it or you don't.

Can we take it from the top, please?

(Piano begins song)

Do you like it?

Yes. You look very pretty.

You have a dress this color.

Yes, I do.

Go try on the other one.

She insisted that you come with us,

So there's no getting around it.

You now have a little sister.

Well, I've always wanted one.

Um...

Did he say anything to you,

Uh, about last night?

He bailey?

No.

You know, I'm sorry. I shouldn't.

It's not junior high school.

Never mind.

Did something...

Did something happen?

Well, we're in bed,

Needless to say,

And we try, you know, we attempt

To have a conversation that's more than just,

"Ooh, ooh, yes, right there."

You know?

And then, 2 seconds later,

We are having this insane fight,

And he's leaving.

God.

You know, and on top of that,

He tells me that he doesn't like this thing

I do with my tongue.

Oh, you know what?

I'm gonna see if they have this

In long sleeves.

I need you to get the hell

Out of our lives,

All right? You need to butt out,

'Cause, uh, you don't have a vote

With us, all right?

You don't have a vote on whether julia and I

Get to stay together or not.

Mmm.

You love this, don't you?


You love that we're having problems.

Now you get to be the big supportive

Friend. "Don't worry, julia.

I'll take care of you."

You're just waiting for your chance

To get back with her.

Excuse me, but none of this

Would be going on

If you hadn't gone and done it

With someone else.

Hey.

"Hey"?

You know, julia's walking around

Like this is her fault.

You go and you-- you sleep with some bimbo,

And your wife is feeling guilty.

How'd you manage that, huh?

Did she tell you this,

Or is this your personal interpretation?

Why don't you tell me one thing that you have done

To deserve her?

What?

What does she get from you?

I mean, what do-- what do you give her?

Loyalty? No.

Support? No.

Intellectual stimulation--

Shut up!

You know, she is sad all the time.

You know what the one thing you could

Do for her is?

The biggest favor you could give her...

Is go on your trip and don't come back.

Oh. Hey.

Hi.

Charlie forgot these.

Is he around anywhere?

Uh, he took a walk.

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh, I bet he's got stage fright.

Hmm.

Probably.

Is your boyfriend here?

Oh, yeah. He's saving us seats.

He's a cutie.

Yeah.

A little intense, but...yeah.

Well, I think you guys are really sweet together.

Thanks.

Thanks. You know, so are you and charlie.

I know not everybody gets it,

'Cause he's so him, and well, you're so...

You, and it's just not like you're exactly

The girl next door,

But hey, I'm rooting for you.

I should, um, ahem,

Finish getting ready.

All right.

Well, good luck.

You're not supposed to say that

To an actor.

Sorry.

Too late.

Put out the lights, eliza,

And tell mrs. Pearce not to make me coffee

In the morning.

I'll take tea.

What the devil have I done

With my slippers?

Here are your slippers!

And there, take your slippers,

And may you never have a day's luck

With them!

(Forgets accent) what on earth?

What did you throw those slippers at me for?

Because I wanted to smash your face!

What's the matter?

(Whispering) jamie, we're not

At the movies.

...where you picked me out of,

In the gutter?!

You thank god that it's all over

And you can just throw me back again

There, do you?

Are you finding this really sad?

You mean charlie's acting?

Nice sh*t with the slippers.

♪ You taught me how to speak ♪

♪ You taught me how to feel ♪

♪ I owe ♪

♪ My life ♪

♪ My love, my life ♪

♪ I owe my life to you ♪

What are you so pissed off about?

You don't think henry and eliza

Should be together.

Charlie, who are you talking about?

Change the names.

What, you mean us?

Probably you think, "hey, when I'm done,

I'll just toss her and move on."

Would you stop putting words in my mouth?

Talk about typecast!

Did she remind you of anyone...

That character, the girl?

Like annie maybe?

No.

Huh.

'Cause she had that whole...

Tough-yet-vulnerable thing, you know,

Like her life was really hard, but she

Didn't let it ruin her.

Kind of reminded me of annie.

Bailey, your socks remind you of annie.

Well, yeah, that's because she got me these.

You know what? That's it, ok?

What--what are you doing?

You're driving me crazy. That's what I'm doing.

Wait a second. Sarah.

Sarah, why are we--

Hey.

You know, when you asked me if I minded you

Talking to me about him,

Well, I lied. I mind.

And you, you are obsessed with her.

And you're obsessed with him,

So you know what? Talk to each other, ok,

And if that doesn't work, try again.

And if that doesn't work, then get over it,

Because I resign. I'm done,

And I'm not gonna be in the middle anymore.

Hmm.

Wow.

His stuff is gone.

He must have gone.

It feels weird.

It feels bad coming home to an empty house.

Except it feels empty even when he's here.

Well, I guess you gotta...decide

Which feels less bad.

I have to leave him, don't i?

I, uh...

I kind of think you do.

6 Months ago...

6 Months ago, we did that...

That wedding charlie made for us.

We--we renewed our vows in front of everybody.

How did this happen so fast?

I don't know.

Stuff happens.

I don't know how to do this.

How do you stop being married?

You, uh...

You know, I think it probably doesn't

Hurt forever.

You'll help me?

Yeah. Of course I will.

You won't think I'm a loser?

No.

Never.

I couldn't think you're a loser.

I meant them, you know...

My vows, when I said them.

(Brooklyn accent) hey, how you doing, eh?

Give us a bottle of champagne,

The best you got.

Hey, you.

Quit hogging the pretzels.

They're all yours.

Come on, grab a glass. Toast with us here.

I can't do that. Thanks.

Come on. You, too. Want some?

Pour him a glass.

Sure. What the hell?

My flight's delayed anyway.

Damn fog.

So what are we toasting?

Well, pam and me, we got married

2 Weeks ago.

Yeah, and we're just coming back

From hawaii.

Yeah. No kidding.

Well, here's to you, babe.

Mmm. To you, baby.

Good luck. I give it a year.

(Stammers)

W-what'd you say?

I said I give it a year until she

Gets sick of you.

Hey. Andy, please.

No, no, no. Whoa, whoa.

Do you love him? Do you love him?

Yeah, you love him until he, uh...

Messes up a couple of times

Or blows some bucks,

Doesn't live up to your damn expectations.

You know what?

Why don't you get out of here, huh?

Hey, come on. Tell the truth

There, miss...

Big hair.

Oh, excuse me, mrs.

You know it, and I know it.

As soon as this jerk messes up once,

You're gonna dump him in a second.

Hey! Andy,

Stop it!

No!

Andy, please!

What's the matter with you, man?

Get off.

Aah! Aah!

You're an idiot, you know that?

You're a real idiot.

(Moaning)

You want to tell me what this was about?

No.

You want me to, uh...

I got it.

Morning.

Hi.

What's in there?

Nothing.

Claud, what's in there?

A review of the play.

God.

I hope they didn't slam daphne.

Oh, they didn't.

Yadda, yadda, yadda...

"Her eliza doolittle was a gem."

Good.

"But what in the world did she see in that

Henry higgins?

"A word to charlie salinger,

"Who, according to the program, was making

His stage debut:

"If you have a day job, sir,

"I beg you not to quit it.

And if you don't have one, please

Get one immediately."

I, uh...

Didn't want to show it to you.

Here. These are for you.

You might want to stay away

From your neighbor across the street

For a little while.

Jamie, we...

We have to talk.

How long have you known me?

2 Incredible weeks.

And in that 2 weeks,

How many times have we seen each other?

I don't know.

14 Times in 2 weeks.

You know what that is?

Every day?

It's a lot.

It's...

It's too much.

Look, I like you. I...

I mean, I really like you.

All I'm saying is something about a relationship

That's fun is...

It's fun to miss somebody sometimes.

You know?

I want to miss you.

Go away so I can miss you.

And...

Last night,

There was this moment in the second act

When I thought I was gonna go up.

But then...i felt everybody's energy

And good vibes...

And all of a sudden,

I remembered my lines.

(Laughter)

So...

Thanks.

I love you guys.

(Laughter)

Charlie: uh, before we go, um...

I, uh...

I'm sure some of you read the review

In the paper today,

Although everyone was kind enough

Not to mention it.

(Laughs nervously)

And I just hope that, uh...

What I hope is that people

Who read it

Don't get swayed by it and not come here.

Because, you know, somebody says something

A little negative

And it kind of grows in your mind

Until you start to think maybe it's your opinion,

Too.

And you do that, and you start to

Close off to things,

You start to miss out on things...

Things that could bring something really good

Into your life,

Things that could make you really happy...

If you're not so dumb that you walk away

From them.

Anyway...

I wasn't that horrible, was i?

(Laughter)

Daphne: no, you weren't.

Just now, you weren't.

I don't think this is gonna come out.

Toss it.

I don't care. Whatever.

I'm gonna...

I'm gonna call my old man.

I'm gonna go crash over there.

I'll stay with him.

This really must be the last place on earth

You want to be

If you're thinking about going there.

Just look at me.

I can't work.

I...can't even move.

I just don't want you doing all this stuff for me.

I'm doing it, griffin.

(Slams door)

Hey.

Hey. How was the matinee?

Well, I think I stunk a little bit less,

So that was good.

How's he doing?

Is he doing all right?

I guess.

Well, listen, um...

I know you're gonna think this is nuts,

And if it were you, you'd do it differently,

But...

That job...

They wanted me to guarantee them

2 Years...

And...i'm not ready for that.

I don't know if I'm ready for any full-time thing

Right now.

I don't want to be tied down yet.

I don't want to get stuck, you know?

Yeah.

I feel like I've got this big second chance,

Like me getting sick and then getting better

Was god's way of saying,

"Hey, charlie, there's other stuff

Out there.

Other people."

Like daphne?

Yeah.

And...i don't know where things are going

With us,

But I like her...

A lot.

I feel good with her.

And I'm not saying you have to like her,

Jule.

I mean, I think you might if you gave her a chance.

But, in any case, do me a favor.

Don't dislike her out loud, ok?

Ok.

Thanks.

And I bet charlie could get us

A good deal on that.

(Door opens)

Hey.

Hi.

So...

No dead bodies.

Uh-uh.

Turns you out you knew us better than we knew ourselves,

Because what you did

Was exactly what we needed.

Yeah?

Yeah.

We talked...

All night till, like, 7:00 in the morning.

Well, it was a little hairy there

For a while, but...

Whatever. You know what?

We promised that we were not gonna bore you with

All of our stuff anymore.

Right. Right, right, right. That was...

Rule number 12?

Anyway, uh, I gotta pick up nat

From melissa's.

I'll see you later.

Thank you.

See ya.

Annie: bye.

(Door closes)

(Sighs)

Oh, god, I'm b*at.

I'm gonna hop in the shower

And get to work.

Bailey...

I was, um...

I was just at dana's,

And I told her to go ahead

And put a down payment on this beach house

That she found.

So I'm gonna-- I'm gonna go ahead

And do that.

That is great.

That is really great.

Really?

I was going to talk to you

About this.

Um...

Annie and me are talking about

Me moving upstairs.

I'm gonna move in with her and nat.

Wow.

Yeah.

And so if you're not gonna be here,

We might as well just let this place go.

And then you can figure out what you want to do

In the fall.

Unless...

Does that work for you?

Yeah.

Yeah, sure. That's, um...

Ok.

Good.

Yeah.
