a Moor came here a long time ago

But then she found out
that he had a wife
and children back home.
(CLICKS TONGUE, GROANS)
So, because he lied to her,
she cut his head off.

So if you put one
of those outside of your house,
what are you saying?
If you come into my house,
don't f*ck my wife.

Screw around and you'll end up

I'll show you a special feature.

You bring your assistant

Anything you need, I'll be there. Okay?
Well, I just don't know
what the big deal is.
I mean, I don't know
why you're so bothered.
Because I said no!
Because it's supposed to be romantic.
Because it's a vacation,
in Sicily, for us.
I mean it's...

I'd see you in a week, then?

on my side of the bed.
Okay. (EXHALES) I'll sleep over there.

Also, they're so touchy-feely. Right?

married for five years?
No way. It feels fake.
You're so quick to judge people.

Look, Cameron is the kinda guy who,
if you can put up

you can put up with him forever.
He is consistent.
A consistent douche?
Yeah. He's crazy, it's funny.
- Was he like that in college?
- Way worse.
Why were you even friends with him?
We weren't friends, we were roommates.
And then, you know how it is.
You kind of become friends,
and now we're friends.
(SIGHS)
At some point, he is gonna approach you
with some kind of money-making scheme
or some kind of favor or something.
There's a reason they invited us here.
Well, that's my prediction.

Can you just please
try to make an effort?
Or else this is gonna
