please, ryan.
something soft.
sally?
we could hardly say no.
ryan.
ryan!
he always has two or three going.
i think ryan needs a new publisher. i think he's outgrown him. they're just not doing their job.
yes, great! it's a beautiful house.
yes.
well, whoever did this is amazing.
and for us.  truly.
you will never know.
cal gold?
i'd be thrilled.
monica.
we live next door.
excuse me?
you have?
your eames table is incredible. and the b&b. i just put that in a client's home, actually, but in red.
sally did all this herself?
mmm. it says something about the two of you maybe.
oh, yes. you know ryan's been sober eight years. and it's difficult if i.  you know. it's better if i don't.
i'm a little nervous, so.
a little out of my element.
well, yes. yes, in fact. a little on the outside, yes. and there's been all this friction.
i don't know why, but these misunderstandings have a way of escalating.
i think a lot of this could have been avoided if sally made more of an effort.
but you're very private people. you know, there's a kind of elitism.
the wrong word, maybe. delete that. and, you know, the dog barks incessantly.
and ryan works at home.
well, that's what ryan thought. i was more generous, actually.
alright.
alright. please don't tell ryan i'm drinking.
i'll be your best friend.
would you sign it for me. i'm sure this is inappropriate.
i'll treasure this.
i will treasure this.
the katzenjammer kids.
you know. it's the funnies. the katzenjammer kids. it's my mother's favorite charade's clue. no one ever gets it.
with a "z." k. a. t. z.
i want to try it, ryan.
i love it here. don't you love it here, ryan? i love it here. and i love tonight. and i love these people. and this feels utterly fantastic, ryan. utterly fantastic.
do you want to go home, ryan?
i think you should then. you should look in on sheila.
they're really nice people, ryan. they're like us.
i think you need to speak for yourself, ryan. but i think you're really nice people.
there's only you, ryan. you know what, ryan? you're beautiful. i love you so much.  you need.
you need a good review and you'll be fine. the whole color of the world will change, mark my words.
i'm going to go get my swimsuit. i do know, ryan, this is non addictive so you mustn't worry. ryan, you're a great man.
i don't think so. i feel. i feel a bit funny.
i've never done this before.
i'm a little in the puke zone.
what am i, five?
okay.
lemon.
ryan's really angry with me.
it's really not the same thing. he was really nicer when he drank.
eight years, though. that's quite an accomplishment.
medallions.
yes.
he has to find non-smoker's meetings that used to be almost impossible, you know? it's gotten much better.
nine. nine, yes? nine years, just about.
oh yes. nineteen. just. i'm cold.
that's very nice.
i'm so glad. you know, i recognize that passage in your book. the bit about us running into each other in the movie theatre.
i know you changed it to a bookstore. and the color of my hair. but the moment was exactly the same. the same, you know, dynamic. and almost verbatim, wasn't it?
i think it's great that i made an impression at all, you know.
i'm sorry.
i'm so sorry.
i'm so sorry.
ryan, you've got to come! you've got to help me find the dog! i let their dog out. we need to find the dog.
i left the gate open and otis got out! he could get hit by a car!
we have to find the dog, ryan.
because we're nice people, and because what goes around comes around. because, god help you if something happens to that dog?
all the ugly phone calls? we're not the only people with a tape recorder, ryan. they've gone to the canyon, we should go towards the pch.
don't go in, ryan.
let's just go home, okay?
