You don't like morning sex.
(SCOFFS) What? I'm fine with it.
Are you? You're not a morning person.
Well, I don't wake up

I'd take care of it myself.
Okay? (EXHALES)

- No, but but it's fine.
Do you want help?
Now?
Yeah.
No, it It's okay.
We can do that later.
It's not a big deal.
(SHOWER RUNNING)
So, Daphne and Cameron never fight!
- How do you know?
- HARPER: Because that's what they said.
If you never fight,
then your relationship
is not real. It's like, yeah,
we fight, we bicker,
but that's because we talk
about everything.
You know? We're honest.
They act like they're
on their honeymoon.
They're all over each other.
But it's bogus. It's not real.
You always do this with certain people.
It's like you have to find them
deficient in some way,
- compared to you.
- What?
ETHAN: It's like, I don't know,
maybe it's a way of soothing yourself
when you feel threatened or something.
I'm not threatened by them.
Like, you never do this with Carmen.
- Carmen? Our housekeeper?
- You're always like
(MOCKINGLY) "Oh, my God.
I love Carmen. She's so sweet".
She is so sweet. She's a sweet old lady.
But like, you're not threatened by her,
so you don't see any of the other stuff.
Like, she can just be sweet Carmen,
the sweet old lady.
(HESITATES)
Everybody compares themselves
to other people, Ethan.
Why are you criticizing me
for doing something
that everyone does?
I'm just pointing out
a personality quirk.
You do it to me all the time.
- (HARPER SCOFFS)
- Why are you threatened by them?
- I'm not.
- Kinda seems like you are.
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
But it's just, like,
are these the kind of people
we're gonna be hanging out
with now? Like, really?
Like, people that can only talk about
what five-star hotel they've stayed at.
Okay, so you're a snob?
What? I'm a snob? They're snobs.
I I guess we're all snobs
in different ways.
I was just trying to say
that I think we have
a good relationship,
but I won't do that again.
ETHAN: I agree.
Hey, Harper.
I agree, 100 percent.
Everybody does it, Ethan.
I'm sure they're over there
shitting on me right now,
saying I'm a bitch
or you could do better.
Or whatever.
