shit! sold out!
i am so sorry.
i could just kill him! this is not the first time he's done this, either.
cooked up some phony emergency, right as i'm getting on the elevator.
we're talking about the most self-centered man i have ever met. god forbid i should have a life, right?
ruin my evening. our evening.
okay. i'm taking a breath.
i like you. have i told you that?
you know what i want to do? i want to go shopping.
for a house.
look at the detail on that one. wow. every one of these is a gem. makes the stuff i work on look pretty shabby by comparison.
what's this?
obviously, not for me.
maybe we can find out whose it is.
lorna. that's a name you don't hear very much. lorna. like the cookie.
terri and lorna. sisters, maybe? lovers, more like it. or. witches. and this bracelet is some sort of talisman.
or. perhaps terri killed lorna, and this "gift" provides her with an alibi.
what, aren't you a little curious?
i want it to work, too.
what? get it over with?
don't you think it's better to be sure of each other first? to have a little bit of trust?
i know, i know.
it's not such a strange thing to ask. sometimes relationships. overlap. i just need to feel--
you haven't asked me if i'm seeing anyone.
it's silly, i know, but it makes me feel like you couldn't imagine anyone being interested in me.
hmm. ask me, anyway.
absolutely not.
i do want to make love tonight.
i think spontaneity is overrated.
todd, the light.
wait. don't say anything.
what were you going to say?
oh.
no, don't say that. let's get under the covers.
let's go slowly.
oh. oww!
dammit. my foot. i've got one of those. what's the word?
not a bunion. a spasm.
oww! no, stop! it hurts! i hate this!
nothing, it's fine, it's fine. lemme just walk it off.
i am so embarrassed. trust me, this doesn't happen all the time.
todd! shhh.
these walls, they're paper-thin. this building is so poorly built. everyone can hear you.
yes, the walls are. what are you saying?
of course, i am. i'm sorry if i'm not vocal enough for you.
there's no right or wrong way to do this.
todd, i don't expect you to do everything right the first time. sorry, that didn't come out the way i meant it.
no, i didn't say that. i was just. let's be still for a while. alright?
everyone expects fireworks the first time you do it. but that's just a myth.
let's not be too hard on ourselves.
our expectations were a little high, that's all.
true. what do you mean?
right.
morning, pappy. how's she doing today?
maybe they know something you don't.
nan.
oh, please.
i wish i had a story to tell.
all you want is dirt, nan. admit it.
i. i'm sleeping with two different men.
one of them is a good man. he's good for me.
sort of. the other one, he can be a complete ass. a total jerk.
he does. and i hate it. i hate him. and, on top of that, i can't have him.
he hasn't moved.
why?
don't worry. he's not moving.
did pappy see it?
no small feat.
you lied.
and you've never been tempted to.
right.
i wonder what became of that boy.
i was, in fact.
i don't believe it. you're actually asking my opinion. you really want to know what i think?
you'd have to pay me to live in that neighborhood.
to paraphrase you, this is going to give them a major hard-on. not the women, of course.
done. dom perignon. fifteen cases.
a messenger is meeting us at the site with the proofs.
stop it.
have you never heard of the phrase "impulse control"?
people are starting to notice, josh. i work very hard to act completely indifferent toward you. the least you could do is to keep your hands to yourself.
what?
josh, just for the sake of variety, could you take me seriously for a moment?
please, don't.
yes. i think we should.
i'm going to take the stairs.
i can't put my finger on it. i just don't feel it's happening with us.
i do. i mean, i did. it's no one's fault. it's chemistry.
do you want your pickle?!
i'm sorry. it's just not happening for me.
guess i'll be heading back.
no. in fact, i want to thank you.
for sparing me from the most unhealthy relationship i've ever had in my life. for that, i thank you.
are you having seconds thoughts?
let's seal the deal. shake.
what?
oh, the bed. let's put it against this wall. away from the morning sun.
not enough height for bunk beds.
there has to be. they need to keep each other company.
definitely not enough space for two people to cook.
oh, no. i wouldn't put the ottoman there.
it needs to go over.
hmmm.
we have another problem.
what do we do with the elephant in the room?
we shouldn't be rude to an elephant.
they can get very annoyed. if you ignore them.
josh. the door.
it was, wasn't it?
still dressed in the clothes she wore earlier. she holds a small paper bag.
i brought you something.
oh. sawdust. lots of sawdust at the job site.
hey, you two. todd, this is my boss josh, and his wife gwen.
it's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it.
he can be tough.
you're welcome.
we've only known each other a few weeks.
you knew what?
