Subscene @AliEmJay
- I have spent four months
blaming the universe.
[bowl shatters]
Are you here for group?
- This is your thing.
I don't want to show up
and screw with your thing.
- Well, just come because I'm
gonna feel bad if you don't.
- You'd be happy
because you hate me.
- I don't hate anyone.
I don't want to be
negative anymore
or judgmental or sad.
I don't want to be that person.
- So are you and Danny
friends now?
- Something like that, yeah.
- What's going on?
- I'm just worried
I'm gonna lose it
and I don't want
to make this about me.
- Or you could stay,
if you can.
I think everyone would be glad
if you stayed.
- [exhales]
Do I have makeup
all over my face?
- No.
I'm just kidding.
It's everywhere.
Here, I got you.
- Do I have makeup
all over my face?
- No.
I'm just kidding.
It's everywhere.
You have, like,
some on the lower cheek,
the lower cheek,
like here.
It's cool.
I'll get it.
Right?
- Okay, great, thank you.
- Here, I got you.
- [exhales]
[cell phone chimes]
[cell phone rings]
- Hello?
- Miss Shaw?
I'm calling from
the Palms Club Hotel
just confirming your
reservation for this evening.
- Sorry?
- The Palms Club
in Palm Springs.
Looks like the package
was gifted by
a Richard and Sabrina Shaw.
- Right.
- Um, ma'am,
are we still expecting you
in Palm Springs today?
[percussive music]

- Oh, sorry, can I have
one second, please?
Thank you.
- Hi, welcome
to Palms Club Hotel.
Do you have a reservation?
- I do, under Shaw.
- Shaw?
Miss Shaw, I see you're booked
under the romance package.
Let me arrange
two keys for you.
- Uh, just one is--is good.
- Okay, can I have someone
help you with your luggage?
- No luggage.
- Got it.
And I apologize, your room
isn't quite ready yet
but we do have two pools,
a spa,
a full gym,
tennis courts.
- Okay, do you have
a gift shop?
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Can I help you
find something?
- No, I'm just looking.
- Oh, Melinda Moore,
she's the best.
- Oh, yeah?
- She's a cat burglar who jets
around the world
stealing priceless jewels.
Yeah, she once stole
a Tiffany's diamond
with a wad of chewing gum.
- [laughs]
- Her cover is,
she's a fashion designer.
Cat burglar on the catwalk.
- Well, sold.
[indistinct chatter]
- You are way too beautiful
to be here by yourself.
- Thank you.
- My name's Craig.
What's yours?
- Melinda.
- Melinda.
Let me ask you something,
Mel-inda.
Why do you look
so mel-ancholy?
- Hmm.
- Come on.
The sun's out.
There is a pool.
You should be happy.
- Married.
- What?
- Mm.
- No way.
Well, if I was your husband,
I would not leave you alone,
not for a minute.
- I'm sorry,
can you just go away?
- I was trying
to be nice.
You don't have to be rude.
- Excuse me?
- Hey, I got you that
margarita, honey.
Oh, hey.
Can I help you?
- No, no,
we're good here.
- Our tennis lesson
has been switched to 5:00.
[whispers]
Sorry.
I couldn't hear much,
but it looked like
he was bothering you.
- Yeah, thank you
for the save.
- Please.
This is probably gonna be
the most interesting
part of my day.
- [laughs]
- I've got
back-to-back meetings
and my big plans tonight
are to eat a Jammin' Jenny
burger at the bar.
I'll let you
get back to your book.
- Thank you.
[children shouting]
- Boys!
Oh, I am so sorry.
- It's okay.
- Oh, no, boys, apologize
to this lady.
- It's okay.
Really, it's fine.
It's a pool.
- If this is a sample
of your work,
you're not very good
at pick-ups.
- I know, I haven't very much
experience at it.
This is the first time I ever
tried to pick up a girl.
- Oh, see, that's too bad.
- I should be better at it.
- How's that?
[television clicks off]
- You again.
- Me again.
- How's the book?
- It's really good, actually.
Yeah.
- Great.
- I am looking for something
to wear besides this.
- Hold on.
So nothing in here is cheap.
- Yeah, I saw that.
- But this was on the mannequin
and tore the tiniest bit,
so it's marked down a ton.
Just slip it on.
Two seconds.
- Hi.
- Hi, something to drink?
- Uh, yeah,
a chardonnay, please.
- Sure.
- And do you have
a Caesar salad?
I'll have that with dressing
on the side, please.
- Great.
- Thank you.
- Well, I did a terrible job
selling the Jammin' Jenny.
- That looks incredible.
[laughs]
What--what are you doing?
I can't eat your food.
- I get them all the time.
Go for it.
Just one bite.
- Mm.
Mmm, mm-hmm.
Oh, my God.
That's delicious.
- May I approach?
- Mm-hmm.
- So standard questions:
What do you do?
Where are you from?
- I--all over, really.
I'm a jewel thief.
But my cover story is
that I am a fashion designer.
- Wow, so, wait,
how does that work?
- Well, naturally, I can't
tell you all of my secrets,
but, for instance, this looks
like a regular wedding ring
but, in fact, there is a secret
compartment on the inside
with a micro saw
just in case I ever get
handcuffed or duct-taped,
zip-tied.
I will be ready to go.
- Cool.
- Very cool.
What do you do?
- Well, I actually
own this place.
This is my hotel.
- You own
this entire place?
- I'm actually doing a sort of
"Undercover Boss" thing,
checking it out,
seeing how things are running.
- Oh, I got it.
That's fun.
- My grandfather
bought it for my grandmother
for her to have a place
for her to sing.
- An entire hotel
just for that, hmm.
- Real love story,
those two.
Sixty years of marriage.
Died within three weeks
of each other.
So that's my model
for marriage.
No pressure, right?
- Hey, man,
here comes your girl.
- [laughs]
- Okay, just a sec.
- Where you goin'?
- Oh, I have tables.
- Come on, hey,
play a game with us.
- I'm so sorry.
- Come on.
How about a party
later on at my place?
- Dude, dude.
- Oh, man.
- What a dick.
- It's too bad he doesn't have
some jewels you could steal,
teach him a lesson.
[twangy guitar music]
Hey, hey!
You were the guy
that was hitting on my wife.
- Hey, man,
it wasn't like that.
- Oh, Banks,
what'd you do this time?
- Banks, you know, I like
to know the name of the guy
whose ass I'm about to kick.
- What did she say?
- No, no, honey, honey, honey,
honey, honey, honey.
Stop. You don't have to break
the jaw
of every guy
that talks to me.
Hey, hey, come on.
I want a burger
and I want to go to bed.
- Walk away.
- I told you to distract him,
not get your ass kicked.
- Guess I overdid it a little.
- Yeah.
Excuse me, miss?
Hi, can you do a round of
drinks for everyone at the bar?
124, the name's Banks.
- Okay.
- And please give
yourself a great tip.
You deserve it.
- Got it. Thank you.
- What now?
- Come on, I'll give you
the grand tour.
- [gasps]
Ooh.
This must be where
your grandmother sang.
- Exactly.
And sometimes when I was little
I would even accompany her.
- You were
a very talented child.
- Mm-hmm.
- Congratulations.
Is this them?
- Uh, yeah.
So what's--what's their story?
- Uh, let's see, um
Before he owned hotels,
he was a boxer.
- Wow.
- He was the Golden Gloves
champion three years in a row.
When he proposed, her family
threatened to disown her.
- Like Romeo and Juliet.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, they went through hell
to get their great love story.
"Of all the people
on the planet,"
her parents kept saying,
"Can't it be someone else?
Why does it have to be him?"
- Did her family
ever get over it?
- No, she just
had to live with it.
- [sighs]
So what kind of songs did you
sing with your grandmother?
- The standards.
- Okay.
- "I'm Always
Chasing Rainbows."
Um, "Happy Days
Are Here Again."
"You Made Me Love You."
- I actually
really like that song.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- "You Made Me Love You."

- Hi.
- Hi.
- You snuck out last night.
- Yeah.
- I wanna tell you something.
- You don't need to.
- I just got out
of a nine-year marriage.
I wanna be completely
honest with you,
because I know it
was just one night,
but last night was one
of the best nights--
- Look, I--I get it.
If I am the first person that
you slept with since
you got divorced, then--
- That's not what it's about.
- You're allowed to move on.
- So are you.
I can tell you're running
away from something.
- You don't know me.
And none of this was real.
Right?
You don't--
You don't own the hotel.
You didn't sing here
with your grandmother.
I don't even know your name.
- I do own it.
I did sing with her.
Everything I said last night
was the truth.
And my name is Tripp.
- Tripp, I'm Leigh.
I'm not a cat burglar.
I'm an exercise
teacher from LA.
And, uh
Uh, this, uh,
wedding ring is
Just a regular wedding ring.
- So you are married.
- No, actually, um
I'm not.
Hi, this is me.
Thank you.

- Someone wants to publish
Matt's comic.
- But we don't know
if that's what he wanted.
- I know a really good psychic.
- We're not joking right now?
- My mom's never joking
about psychics.
- The first person that was
ever supposed to love me
abandoned me.
- You never talk to me
about your adoption.
- I don't talk about it
that much.
- Just need to know if
he did it or not.
- I don't think that either of
us are ever gonna know.
I went to his grave this week
and I stood there
and felt nothing.
- Well, maybe instead of going
where he's dead,
you should go where you guys
were alive together.
