to get egg sandwiches
where you don't have to
wait in line for an hour.
You've never had this before.

It's part of it.
It's good. Thank you.
You love a lineup, huh?
What are we doing?
This is a thrift store.
This isn't a line. This
is a mob waiting to happen.
It's dollar-per-pound day.
They open the gates, you run
in and grab as much as you can.
Oh, God. This is stressing
me out. Why are we doing this?
- [PEYTON] Pull yourself together.
- Oh, God. It's happening.

[CUSTOMER] Get in there!

- We just do it? Am I doing it right?
- You're doing it right.
- Is it happening?
- Yes, it's perfect.
Is this cool? Is this shit cool?
- I don't know.
- I don't know either!
I'm so stressed out. Is this cool?
- Is this fucking cool?

What the fuck is this shit? A
bathing suit? Gross! Oh, God.
- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- What?

It's from the Oops! I

- Hey! Hey!
[PANTING]
[WILL MOANING]
- [GRUNTS] This is so sexy and so gross.
- So amazing.
- Can we get out of here?
- No.
- We're just getting started. Come on!
- Okay.
This place is a gold mine.
We're gonna have so many bedbugs.
It's fine. I've already had
them. They're not that bad.
[PEYTON] You wanna put on some music?
Yeah. What you in the mood for?
- Hmm. How about Ari Lennox?
- Ooh, yeah.
["WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS" PLAYS]
You're grooving to that
commercial. [CHUCKLES]
This isn't a commer
[STUTTERS] It's Annie Lennox.
- I said, "Ari Lennox."
- Ari Lennox?
- [SONG ENDS]
- Yeah.
- That's a person?
- Yes.
Oh, wow. I had no idea.
I thought you just said
"Annie Lennox" wrong,
I didn't wanna mansplain to you.
- I didn't know we got an Ari Lennox now.
- Oh, we have an Ari Lennox
- and she's really good.
- Wow. Good for her.
I wonder how Annie feels.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- [PEYTON] Would you look at that?
- [WILL] It's so nice, huh?
This is why I moved here from Colorado.
- Yeah.
- [CHUCKLES]
Hi. [CHUCKLES]
I just
I'm recently divorced. You
know? Very recently, and, uh,
I just have to say that
I'm not really ready
for a serious relationship yet.
We've only hung out a few times.
Yeah. Of course. Great. I
I shouldn't have said that.
As I was saying it, I was like,
"This is stupid. Don't
say it." I just
I like you a lot. You know,
I just wanna make sure
we're on the level. You know?
- Oh, my God. Is that Machine Gun Kelly?
- I don't know.
I've never seen him without Megan Fox
biting his nipples on the red carpet.
[PEYTON] He's so hot. He's
literally the hottest guy on Earth.
That guy's the hottest guy on
Earth? Other than me, obviously.
[PEYTON] What are you not
seeing? Allow yourself to see it.
No, I get it. I just don't
think that guy's my type.
I'm kinda into beefier,
like, hunkier guys.
Like, give me a "Stone Cold"
Steve Austin. You know what I mean?
That's That's my type.
No. He's grunge. He's talented.
He's a musician. Like
He look He looks like
a dead body with tattoos.
He looks like something from,
uh, the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
You wanna race to the bottom?
I'm just kidding. I
would die if we did that.
Come on. Let's go.
["WASTE MY TIME" PLAYING]
- [SYLVIA] Who are you listening to?
- Ari Lennox.
Wow. She really changed her sound.
Oh, you see, you're
thinking of Annie Lennox,
which is a very common
mistake among people your age.
By that, I mean, very old people.
- There's an Ari Lennox? [LAUGHS]
- There's an Ari Lennox now!
We gotta deal with that.
Is this supposed to be
burning my scalp this much?
That's just the dignity
leaving your body.
- You said you wouldn't make fun of me.
- What am I supposed to do?
You're a grown man bleaching
your hair. It's ridiculous.
I'm never ever asking you for
a hair-related favor ever again.
Is this for a girl?
No. There is no girl.
This is just, you know,
new chapter, new me.
It's like, uh It's like
my version of getting bangs.
- I don't know.
- It's gonna look cool.
You're gonna see it and be
like, "That actually looks cool."
How's Kirk Friedkin?
I got a job interview next week.
- Really?
- Yeah!
And I did check to see how long ketamine
shows up on a drug test. Don't worry.
Good, good. If you need a clean-pee
guy, I got a clean-pee guy.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
- Wow.
- [WILL] Hi.
- It's like a hair salon in here. Hi.
- Hey. Hi. How are you?
What are you, uh What
are you laughing about?
Oh, nothing. Nothing! Oh, my God.
Absolutely nothing.
A bad stupid joke.
- No, just tell me.
- [SYLVIA CHUCKLES] No! No, no, no.
How was your day, babe? You look cute.
Uh, work was fine. Yeah.
Hey, how was the open house?
Oh, I I didn't make it today.
There was a hair emergency.
- I'm going platinum, bruh!
- Yeah, bruh. We're going platinum, bruh.
[IN AUSTRALIAN ACCENT] We're gonna
go down to Bondi. Catch some waves.
Gonna go to Northcott, Lennox Head.
- Catch some waves, mate.
- [WILL LAUGHING] Yeah!
Know what I'm saying? Go up to Byron.
- [SYLVIA CHUCKLES] Come on.
- Nice. Nice.
Cool, cool, cool. All right.
[SYLVIA] Watch out for
the great whites, mate.
- [WILL] Yeah, mate.
- [SYLVIA] Yeah.
Here you are.
Thank you.
[SLURPS]
So, that was a little
weird earlier, huh?
Hmm? What?
With Will. [SIGHS]
What do you mean?
Gotta be more specific.
Oh, I mean, come on. You were fondling
a grown man's hair in our kitchen.
What's wrong with a woman giving
her friend a makeover? [SCOFFS]
It's just a little bit
intimate, don't you think?
I mean, he wasn't wearing a shirt, so
But he was wearing a
trash bag. [CHUCKLES]
[GRUNTS]
Babe, you knew I love
makeovers when you married me.
Yeah. I mean, if that were true,
how come you've never
given me a makeover?
Because you don't need one.
Because you're not having
a midlife crisis. Thank God.
Because you're perfect the way you are.
- Mmm. Okay. Okay.
- You're so cute.
Well, our Honda Odyssey is
perfect just the way it is,
and they still add new
features every year.
What's going on?
Oh, I don't know. I mean,
it's it's nothing.
It just seemed like you
guys were having so much fun.
It was hard work.
You know what's fun?
Eight hours of sleep.
- Okay.
- Come on. [GRUNTS] It's nine o'clock.
[SIGHS]
[GROANS] We're gonna crush this.
[YAWNS]
[CHARLIE SIGHING]
[SIGHS]
[LAUGHTER ECHOING]
[GOO ECHOING]
[SIGHS]
I just forgot how annoying the
two of them can be together.
It's like their friendship
excludes everybody, including me.
Look, everyone needs friendships
outside of their marriage.
No one can get everything
they need from just one person.
And just because she likes
hanging around with this guy,
doesn't mean she doesn't love you.
Yeah. And for the record,
I know it's not like
they're having an affair.
It's not like Sylvia's cheating on me.
No. Sylvia would never.
There's just this little
frisson between the two of them
where they get dressed up in
costumes and flirt with each other.
It's perfectly normal. Everyone
does it. We're doing it right now.
- We are?
- Yeah.
Except I would never have sex with you.
You're my marry. Vanessa,
interestingly, is my fuck.
- And Albert's your kill?
- Obviously.
And just to be clear, I know that
Will and Sylvia are not fucking.
But it almost feels like
they're getting off on the
fact that they could be fucking.
I don't know about that.
And I'm not allowed to say anything.
Because if I do, it
makes me seem square,
that my brain would go to that place.
I'm worried you're having
one of those brain glitches
where you get obsessed with something
like a Roomba stuck in a corner.
But they could be fucking.
And her knowing that I
know they could be fucking,
but I can't say anything.
That is so fucked.
- Roomba.
- [SIGHS] Yeah.
You know what? Maybe it's my
fault that I feel so excluded.
- I've never made an effort with Will.
- Just let it go.
Maybe I should invite him
to the Dodgers game tomorrow.
Yeah, I wouldn't do that.
It's a company event.
Yeah. I mean, how fun would that
be? Just hanging out together.
Am I in this room? Can you hear me?
Yeah, yeah. I hear you.
Will is Sylvia's friend, not yours.
And there's nothing
to worry about anyway.
You're right.
- [CELL PHONE BUZZES]
- Ah.
Sylvia's husband just
invited me to a baseball game.
Oh, shit.
- Is that like a jealous husband thing?
- Hmm.
I don't know. You have been spending
a lot of time with Sylvia, right?
Um [MUTTERS] yeah. Like,
maybe ten to 15% of my free time.
All right. And that's probably
a hundred percent of hers.
I mean, she a wife,
she got kids and shit.
Those are two really busy things.
And then, no shade, but
you walk into the picture
[CHUCKLES] I'm
sure he's not pleased.
- Yeah. He's gonna beat your ass.
- He's not gonna beat me up.
- No. Yeah, man. He's gonna rock your shit.
- No.
If I'm being honest with you,
he's just kind of a dull guy.
If there was a Pixar movie about
a glass of water, they'd cast him.
- I can see that.
- The little boring glass of water.
I don't know, Will. When
I meet a boring person,
I like to ask them questions.
Like, "What's the first
exhibit you go to at the zoo?"
- Which one do you go to first?
- The shrimps.
What?
Were you getting your hair done
when we were on the marketing
call with the Johnny 66 corporate?
- Was that this morning?
- Yes, sir. It was.
- No, I did this yesterday.
- [SCOFFS]
I just, uh, neglected that.
You realize it's part of your fucking
job to be on these calls, right?
- Omar had to pretend he was you, bruh.
- Yeah. And it was a
It was a really boring call too.
I don't know how you do that.
I was picking up this part
for the canning machine.
The canning machine? Have
Omar do shit like that.
Oh, I don't have a
driver's license, so
Look, bro. You're the
brew master, right?
The people wanna hear from
our fucking brew master.
Yeah, you know what? I agreed to
move forward with this Johnny 66 shit.
I did not agree to, like,
be on a bunch of boring
conference calls and stuff.
Mmm. Oh, okay.
And this whole I don't wanna
go to a baseball game, period.
Am I gonna go with a bunch
of lawyers into a lawyer box?
That's a bad That's a bad day.
Charlie asked you to a baseball
game? Oh, he didn't tell me that.
Yeah. Well, I just think it's
gonna be so awkward, right?
Oh, no. It's It's
not gonna be awkward.
You just go to the game with
him and his work buddies,
and it's no big deal.
- I mean, you guys have hung out before.
- We have never hung out before.
What about that time you
went to pick up the pizza?
That was not a hang. We went and
picked up pizza together. That's it.
Uh, he asked me if
I'd seen The Staircase.
I lied and said yes, and then got into,
like, a weird, fake conversation
where I was pretending to have
seen The Staircase the whole time.
I just It's weird that
he invited me, isn't it?
Oh, no. It's not weird at all.
All right. I I gotta go. Bye.
It's totally weird.
I told you. Eventually
Charlie was gonna get jealous.
No, but we've been married for so long.
He doesn't even remember that he
used to feel stuff like that about me.
I mean, are you jealous of your couch?
Yes. 'Cause it's always sitting.
Listen.
When you love someone,
and that person spends all their time
having fun with
somebody else, you get
What's that word that I'm looking for?
Oh, yeah, jealous!
Excuse me?
What?
You know what? Maybe I'll
say something to Charlie
just to clear the air.
- You should.
- Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, we always feel so much
better when we talk things through.
And that's one of our strengths of
our marriage, is our communication.
- Game day!
- Yeah.
- What?
- What?
- You
- Oh, nothing. Have fun.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
[SIGHS]
Now that this is happening,
just promise me you'll act cool.
'Course I'm gonna be cool.
Historically, you can just
be a little high-strung
- in moments like this.
- What are you talking about?
I'm just here to enjoy a baseball game.
Okay.
- Hey. How's it going?
- Will! Brosef! [LAUGHS]
[FAN GRUNTS]
- [CHARLIE] Oh, I'm sorry about that.
- [WILL] Oh, no. God. Are you okay?
[WILL] Here you go.
- Uh, section six.
- [WILL] All right. Yeah, good to see you.
[CHARLIE] Yeah.
Sorry I didn't bring a jersey.
Also, I don't know, uh,
jack shit about sports,
so you're gonna have to
explain to me what's happening.
The rules and stuff like that.
Well, the only rule of Dodgers
baseball is you gotta eat a Dodger dog.
- Oh.
- There you go.
Catch the fucking ball, Vivas!
- You gotta take a bite of a Dodger dog.
- I'm good. I'm okay.
- Oh, come on. You gotta try a bite.
- I'm good.
You got to. It's the
whole point of the game.
- I'm okay.
- [COLLEAGUES CLAMORING]
- You've never had a Dodger dog?
- Never had a Dodger dog.
- [COLLEAGUE] You're gonna eat that dog.
- It's okay. There's not enough

Yeah. I'm the part-owner of a bar.

- Arts District. Called "Lucky Penny."
You own Lucky Penny? Dude, I've
been there. It's a cool place.
Hey, Charlie, you didn't tell us

- Thank you.
First person I've, you know,
kinda gotten into it with
since my divorce, so
- Good. Getting back out there.
- Yeah.
She's a lot younger than I am,
so there's kind of a disconnect.
- She thought Free Willy was a rapper.
- [CHUCKLES] Yeah.
But seriously, she actually did.
Don't worry about that
kinda stuff. Just
If you like her and you're having
fun, you know, see where it goes.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Very good advice. Appreciate that.
I get it. I tend to
overthink stuff myself.
Yeah?
And I, uh, end up dragging my wife's
friend to a work event. [CHUCKLES]

- Yeah, I did too.

Oh. Will, Will, Will, Will.
You should call Peyton and
tell her to come down here.
- Wait, wait. Wait, who's Peyton?
- No.
You know, Will's, uh, new girlfriend.
You know, the four of us
should have dinner sometime.
How fun would that be?
Ooh. Girlfriend?
You never told me that
you had a girlfriend.
Uh, it's it's nothing.
I-I haven't mentioned
it to anybody, honestly.
- Except for Charlie it seems. [LAUGHS]
- [WILL CHUCKLES]
Oh. Oh, wait, I'm sorry. Was
I not supposed to say anything?
- [SYLVIA] Ooh.
- [CHARLIE] I'm sorry.
No, wait, wait. Sylvia,
you haven't met Peyton?
- No. Peyton? What is she? Eighteen, 19?
- [CHUCKLES]
- She's not 18.
- No, she's 25.
- Oh, slay.
- [ALL CHUCKLING]
Oh, I feel like I asked you
if you were seeing somebody.
I'm barely seeing her, I didn't
think it was worth mentioning.
Oh. But I did ask you a direct
question, eh, which you denied.
So you did you lied to me.
- I did not lie.
- Little bit. Little bit.
I just didn't say a thing yet.
That's You know, I
don't think that's a lie.
- That's a lie.
- I don't know.
I don't know what you had for
breakfast. You lying to me about that?
Well, if you asked me
what I had for breakfast,
and I said I had Vegemite toast,
but I actually had cereal
then that would make me a liar.
It is a material omission.
- You would get dinged for it in court.
- Thank you.
Why would you lie about
what you had for breakfast?
Why would you lie about
having a girlfriend?
That's a good question. Why
would you lie about that?
- Oh, yeah, busted. [CHUCKLES]
- [SYLVIA] Ooh.
[ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]
- What is going on right now? [CHUCKLES]
- Secret. Secret. Secret.
Uh, sounds like a "barbitration" to me.
[CHUCKLES]
Right, guys? It's like an
arbitration, but in a bar.
- Ooh.
- I like that. I like that.
Calling the bar to order.
Yes, I love Franklin & Bash.
- [LAUGHS]
- [STAMMERS] No, wait.
An arbitration doesn't
happen in a courtroom,
so no one gets called to order.
- Boo.
- Oh, boo. Boo, boo, boo.
- You're turning the jury against me, babe.
- [STAMMERS]
- What are you doing?
- There's no jury in an arbitration.
Charlie, it is not an
arbitration, it is a barbitration.
Why do you not understand this?
Will the plaintiff state your gripe?
My complaint is that my friend
lied to me and told everybody else
at this bar that he had a girlfriend,
because he's a giant weirdo.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Why do you care?
Well, because it's weird.
I did not tell everybody
that I have a girlfriend.
Oh. Okay.
Everybody raise your hand if you knew
Will had a girlfriend before I did.
Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you.
I was there the night they met.
They had a magical connection.
So, in as my closing argument,
I would like to asked the defendant
why he could lie to my face
about something that he felt
so freely to be able to share
with a complete stranger
such as my husband.
- Mmm, I have known Will for 15 years.
- Objection overruled.
You're not the judge.
- There is no judge in an arbitra Okay.
- It's a barbitration.
I was forced to confirm the
existence of my alleged girlfriend
to the plaintiff's husband
when I confirmed that
the plaintiff's husband
was telling everyone at his
work that I was your boyfriend.
- [ALL GASP]
- Oh.
- Got him.
- [ALL LAUGHING]
- What?
- It was a joke.
That's not funny.
Well, you know, people at work
think it's very funny, right?
Albert came up with it.
It's basically hilarious.
Uh, okay. So, um, walk me through it.
- Unpack the comedy. I love a good joke.
- [CLEARS THROAT]
What How did it even come up?
I am not the one on
barbitration right now.
It sounds like you are now. Yay.
I don't even understand how
that would come up at work.
Well, I don't know. You and Will
like to go out late and do your thang.
Our thang?
But that that doesn't
make him my boyfriend.
It's just a shorthand. It's
really not that big a deal.
Oh, okay. So you yourself
don't have a problem with it,
yet you talk about it so much
at work you have a shorthand.
Well, when you come home at 4 a.m.
it does tend to come up at work.
That was one time, babe.
That was his divorce party.
- It got a little out of hand. I told you
- For the people who did ketamine.
- [OMAR CHUCKLES]
- Shut up.
- What? What's up, bro?
- What did you say?
Talking about when we
did ketamine. [VOCALIZING]
- Shut up.
- Sylvia, what is he talking about?
Um,
I did a small amount of ketamine.
Ketamine?
- [SYLVIA] Yeah.
- You do realize you have kids, right?
Yes, that's why I slept it off.
It might actually It's kinda
This This actually is my fault.
You gave Sylvia ketamine?
In my defense, I thought it was cocaine.
And just so I'm clear,
that's your defense?
The defense rests.
Hey, let's go, babe. Let's
Let's talk about this at home.
Come on. Let's go.
Uh, why don't we sweep
up this glass some more.
Yeah.
- [BANG]
- Fuck!
- [GLASSES CLANKING, SHATTERING]
- [WILL] Oh, God.
- Oh, no.
- [BAR PATRONS GASPING]
- Ah. Oh, no!
- Oh, my God.
Oh, shit.
Is it bad?
Oh, no, I can't do
blood. I can't do blood.
- [SCREAMING]
- Will, go to the bathroom!
What do I do? What do I do?
What do I do? What do I do?
I'm panicking. What do I do?
I'm panicking. I'm panicking.
Do I leave it in or take it out?
Do not do that, it's dangerous.
- Oh, my God.
- I would pull it out.
Do I leave it in or take it out?
- No, God, no.
- Don't pull it out.
- I'm gonna pull it out.
- [CHARLIE] Don't pull it out.
[BAR PATRONS GASP]
Okay, I got you. I got you. I got you.
Oh. Oh. Oh, no.
- [GROANING]
- I need a first aid kit now.
- Everybody, quiet!
- Hmm.
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
- Hey, Omar.
- [OMAR] Yeah?
- Can you find some clean towels for me?
Yeah.
You need to call 911.
I got 911.
- [GROANS] Oh, no.
- It might've hit an artery.
- Omar, how we doing with those towels?
- Oh.
[OMAR] I know they're
back here somewhere.
- Okay. Ah, fuck it.
- [GRUNTING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY, GROANING]
It's all right.
I've got a ton of bar towels, man.
You didn't have to rip your shirt.
- [WILL GROANING]
- And bring those towels.
And you should sit up. Put your
head between your legs, Will.
No, no, we're gonna lift
his legs above his heart.
Don't listen to me. Just
[STAMMERS] do whatever he says.
I'm always wrong.
- Am I gonna live? [BREATHING HEAVILY]
- You're gonna be fine.
[GROANS] I'm feeling
a little bit better.
- [SYLVIA] You look better.
- I'm gonna be okay?
- Yeah.
- Oh, thank you.
- Yeah, you don't wanna look at that.
- That's yucky.
[WILL SIGHS]
[GRUNTS, SIGHS]
So you guys are going
to 7655 Uplander Way?
[CHARLIE] Yes.
[INHALES SHARPLY] Oh, shit.
[INHALES DEEPLY, SIGHS]

If you can't tell, I'm a
bit of a mess right now,
and I just I'm sorry.

Oh, my God. I've done
it again. It's perfect.
- You wanna know the secret?
- What?
Two flavor packets.
- Mmm.
- Right?
- That's so fucking good.
- I know.
- You want more? [CHUCKLES]
- That's real tasty. Yeah.
Mmm. That's very good.
You're good at this.
- [CHUCKLES]
- That's fucking tasty as hell.
- Your hair looks cute.
- Thank you.
- We match.
- Yeah, it's perfect.
We're like children of the corn.
We're like a Mormon family.
It's adorable. This is the
least Jewish I've ever felt.
[CHUCKLES] You're gonna
change it back though, right?
No, I've been getting
a lot of compliments.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
I don't get that many compliments.
I've been getting 'em.
[SYLVIA BRUSHES TEETH]
[FAUCET RUNNING]

I remember this kind of
night from when we first met.
- [CHUCKLES] You were so wild back then.

That's one of the parts
of you I fell in love with.
[INHALES DEEPLY, SIGHS]
I love our family. I love
our kids. [INHALES DEEPLY]
I love this tiny house, but if I'm
being honest [INHALES DEEPLY]
I miss that side of you, and
I hope that I didn't take it away.
What? No. No, you didn't
take anything away.
You're the best thing
that ever happened to me.
I know it sounds kind of stupid,
but I've been feeling kind of cut out.
I'm sorry that I ever
made you feel cut out.
That's my fault. It won't happen again.
Okay. Mmm.
[MOANS] No. That's not
what we're doing tonight.
[INHALES DEEPLY] It
made sense in the moment.
What moment?
Knock, knock. Special delivery.
W-What the fuck?

- [CHUCKLES]
Um, actually, this is yours.
Oh, right. Thanks.
