What About Brian (2006) s02e07 Episode Script
What About First Steps...
Previously in "What About Brian" This would be Brian, our new agent starting today.
Brian will shadow Bridget.
If we sell this house, do you want to split the commission? Sure, sure.
I could use some cash.
Seems like we make a pretty good team.
Maybe I could get a business off the ground.
- A business? - A cupcake business.
I'm Nicole.
I'm a widow.
My friends they keep trying to make me feel better.
- They don't understand that - You don't.
- Want a lap dance? - Yes, please.
My real name It's Heather.
I'm sure Heather is a great girl, but are you really gonna throw away everything you've worked for? Okay, here we go! In the morning, you know we won't remember a thing In the morning you know it's gonna be all right wake him up, warm him up put him on the stage well, the boy can't help it, it's not his fault Are you awake? Did we get married last night? I think we definitely got married.
To each other? oh, god.
I don't do this.
- What do you do? - I follow plans.
I make blueprints, and I follow the plan.
That's what I do.
I well, I think last night you followed some part of your gorgeous anatomy.
Yes, this is true.
I do.
- Who's there? - I think it's the police.
- Well, we have been very bad.
- Yes, this is true.
We have.
We've been flouting the laws of marriage.
- Complimentary honeymoon breakfast.
- Yeah, that's - but we didn't - You hung the order on the door.
Something you should know about me anything that's free, I get it.
Great.
So, what did we order? For Mrs.
Hillman That's my mother's name.
You're not taking his name? yeah, you Are you going to take my name? - Do you want me to? - I don't know.
What's your last name now? Okay, then for Mr.
Hillman - You like eggs? - As long as they're not poached.
That's that's that's okay.
I'll adjust.
In fact, I-I-I feel like I like them now.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
So, do you want to eat at the table? In the bed? We obviously know each other so well.
Yes, yes, but we are in sync about one thing.
- Skip the breakfast? Yes.
- Skip the breakfast, yes.
I love you, Heather.
What are you doing? No one cares about the hedges.
Mrs.
Elizalde does.
So what? She's selling the house, not buying it.
The gardener he's beeslacking off so she asked me to look at 'em.
So do you always do whatever anyone asks you to do? - Nope.
- Sure, you do, but that's a good thing because I need you to start the caravan tomorrow.
I'm gonna be a little late.
Well, I thought you said you don't do open houses.
Well, a caravan isn't the same as an open house.
Open houses are for real estate groupies.
Caravans are for real estate agents and serious clients.
It's the first step to a big sale.
Then why'd you move the sign? Because if there's not one in the yard, then people will think we already have an offer, and I can guarantee we'll be in multiples by the end of the week.
Look at you, getting all excited.
Selling houses really turns you on.
- I don't get excited.
- Sure, you do.
You're all flushed, just like the other night, upstairs in the master bedroom.
See, most women don't fall for pickup lines from guys holding 10-inch garden shears.
Admit it.
You can't stop thinking about it.
Look, Brian, I am flattered by the attention, but I told you, I don't want a relationship.
I don't want to date.
I just want to focus on my career.
You can do both, you know have a career and a social life.
I do.
And that's exactly why I'm gonna find a buyer for this house before you do.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Nicole, are you home? Yeah, I'm here.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So what did you do today? I did the cupcake thing.
What did you do? You get out? No, you know, I don't get out much now that the doctor's made me stop working.
Well, you're lucky.
It's a jungle out there.
I went to all these different coffeehouses with my cupcakes, but they all have suppliers.
What, you just went in there cold? Honey, that's not how you do it.
You get that first order, and that order leads to the next, and so on, and so on, and so on.
That's the point.
How do I get my first order? Your friends.
Hello! You youyou network.
You cajole.
You don't take no for an answer.
We have to know somebody who needs cupcakes.
You get them to hire you, and then you put out those cute, little, you know, business cards.
We could do a really cool logo.
Oh, my god.
I'm having ideas.
I don't think I've had a-a single idea since since Angelo died.
You can't start a business unless you're selling something.
And you know what you're selling? - Cupcakes? - No, yourself.
It's not funny.
How many orders do you have so far? - Zero.
- That's my point.
I guarantee you, I will have your first order by the end of the night.
I'm just saying, I got the older girls, and they're always with the talking and the chitchat, and I got Carrie.
She's crawling all over everything, right? And and and now Deena wants me to watch the kids while she tries to get a first order for these cupcakes, which is never gonna happen.
Actually, she already got it.
You ordered the cupcakes? Yes, I needed something homey and sweet-smelling for the caravan tomorrow.
Caravan? What are you, Lawrence of Arabia? Nic called and asked me to order them as a favor to get Deena's company rolling.
Fantastic, and you just do what anyone asks you to do.
No, I do not.
Hey, are you still coming tomorrow? Please tell me she didn't get you to do this.
Of course she did, because Brian says yes to everything anybody asks him.
I do not.
Yeah, what is it anyway? Well, I'm trying to attract more women to the bar, so I'm having this thing tomorrow night.
It's It's speed dating for nonlosers.
So for 20 bucks, you get 3 fun-filled minutes a piece with 20 hot, intelligent women that were handpicked by me, but I was short on guys, so I had to get Brian and Jimmy.
Why didn't you ask me? Because I thought maybe you'd still be a little damaged.
- From Deena and the separation.
- Great, yeah, terrific.
And I promised the girls the guys would be available.
So you asked your husband and the poster child for commitment issues? All right.
Fine, good point.
You're in.
- Good.
Thank you.
- Congratulations.
I want you guys to hear the buzzer I got to let people know when to rotate.
You know, something loud that says, "you've known each other for 3 minutes.
Move on.
" Be right back.
Awesome.
- Commitment issues? - Dude, are you serious? - You want me to make a list? - You guys out of your minds? - This is a terrible idea.
- This is a great idea, Jim.
And you should totally bring Bridget.
Why? So I can set her up with 19 other guys? 19 other jerks.
It's gonna make you look great.
Yeah, but I don't want her.
- I mean, sure, she's hot.
- Yeah.
- And sure, she is a good kisser.
- She is? And sure, I could picture the two of us together, but really, all I care about right now is beating her.
- Dude? - No, not physically.
I meant the house.
I'm gonna sell the house before she does and shove it in her face.
Dude, you so want her.
There are my boys.
Hey, where have you been, man? - Is that the - Stripper? - Yeah, that'd be her.
- Sweet.
Mrs.
Heather Hillman.
We just got married.
Hi.
I guess you guys aren't registered anywhere yet.
Hilarious.
What were you thinking? I didn't know you were seeing anyone.
- Neither did I.
- I thought you broke up with her.
I never said that, and I didn't tell you two guys 'cause I didn't want you to think I was overreacting about Marjorie.
Come on.
Who's gonna think that? You know, I came here to share this with my friends.
The least you could do is be happy for me.
- We can do that.
- We could be happy.
I mean, we don't really know her, but I guess you don't really know her, so You know, I knew Marjorie, and you knew Deena, and look how that turned out.
Don't do that.
Look, all I'm saying is it's, you know, it's a crapshoot.
So what's the difference? You can't compare what I had with Deena and what you just did.
I knew Deena for 13 years.
You knew her for what, 13 hours? Right? I know everything there is to know about Deena, and I miss her every day.
It wasn't a joke to me.
I took my vow seriously.
Well, maybe in 13 years, I'll feel the same way about Heather.
That's all I'm trying to say.
Come on, Dave.
- You know, you just - Okay, fine.
- you never know.
- You never know.
You you just can't say it's not a possibility.
- It's a possibility.
- Of course it is.
Of course it is.
Listen, as long as Summer H-Heather, whatever, makes you happy, she's good by us, right, guys? Yeah, absolutely.
- Mazel tov, baby.
- Mazel tov.
to Adam and Heather and a long, glorious future, right? to a long, glorious future what you said.
hey, Deena.
you look handsome in your fancy outfit.
I never thought I'd see the day.
Brian Davis with a real job.
Me either.
- Where do you want 'em? - Put 'em right there.
Okay.
- You want to hear my sales pitch? - Of course.
Start with the kitchen.
6-burner vintage stove with griddle and hood.
- Sold.
- What do I owe you? - 5.
75.
- Million? I might be just a little short on that.
- Here's a start.
- Thank you.
Thank your partner for the overcharging.
- And there you go.
- What do I do with this? Put it in the vintage oven at 350 for 30 minutes.
- It'll make the house smell good.
- Okay.
That's a good idea.
- Hello.
- Hi.
I'm early, I know, but, truth is I can't stand my realtor, so I'm gonna do a run-through before she gets here.
Not that I have anything against realtors, I just I'm not a realtor.
Thank god, 'cause that would've been awkward.
Want a cupcake? Absolutely.
Let's see here.
Looks good.
- That's a damn good cupcake.
- Thanks.
T.
K.
- T.
K.
? - T.
K.
, My name's T.
K.
Deena.
How you doing? I'm Brian Davis.
- Are you a realtor? - No.
I mean, not that we have anything against realtors.
- I'm gonna go.
- Thanks again, Deena.
Yeah.
So, how about we check out the kitchen first? There's a vintage Don't you have to be at work already? I have a deposition in Pasadena.
I'm gonna go straight there.
You need anything? Food? Tv? Crackers? No, I'm fine.
- Crackers? - Yeah.
I don't know why I keep acting like you've never been here before.
What's that? It's our marriage certificate.
It's amazing how little you need to know about someone to get married.
Name, address, social security number, photo I.
D That's it.
It's harder to get cable installed.
Well, why don't we start by giving you my office number, just in case you need to reach me? Yeah.
You know what I was just thinking about? What if I get hit by a bus this afternoon and end up in a coma? Okay, well, that's morbid.
I just realized you'd be the one who'd have to make all the decisions about what to do with me pull the plug, put me on life support, give me a feeding tube.
How weird is that? Well, not as weird as you thinking about all this the day after we got married.
Okay, so I'm gonna see you tonight, right? Unless, of course, one of us gets hit by a bus.
There you go.
actually, I don't get off work until 3:00 tonight, but I'll be here when you wake up.
Right.
Great.
So cupcakes? Hi.
That was your big plan? Well, you told me to make it smell good.
Plus, I got three potentials.
Hi.
How you doing? And you think that those people are interested because you were their friend? - Nice angle.
- What's yours? I know how to target.
I know who's interested and who's not.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I don't need cupcakes.
You probably don't even know how to bake cupcakes.
apparently, neither do you.
Are you trying to make it so that neither one of us can sell this house? - It's really not that bad.
- We can't show the house like this.
Come on.
Why not? We'll give people a wet cloth to place over their face, stay low to the ground where the air is cool.
It'll be just like "the towering inferno.
" I saw that.
You almost laughed.
No, actually, I was really just coughing from the smoke.
Can I tell you something about yourself? Is there any way I can stop you? You take things way too seriously.
Listen, I'm going to this thing tonight for a friend.
She owns a bar, and she's having this kind of speed dating tonight.
- You should come with me.
- Why? I told you, I'm not dating.
How about for fun? You know, maybe you've heard of it? Seen pictures? Listen, if you're worried I'll get more dates than you, it's perfectly understandable.
Oh, god.
That is not gonna work on me.
We are not in middle school.
Fine, don't go.
I'll get more dates than you and meet more clients.
Technically? Unemployed.
I do a lot of freelance work, though.
Really? Is there a big market for freelance urologists? rotate.
You know, kids bring so much joy to your life.
I'm not saying that they don't.
I just wish that sometimes they could drive themselves to school.
You know what I mean.
I mean, I don't know about you, but I think it's kind of stupid.
I mean, I totally understand the concept behind this, but what can you really learn about somebody in three minutes? I like to eat my own hair.
you know, maybe if I took off my ring, that would have helped.
Well, no offense, Dave, but I'm not sure losing the ring would've made much of a difference.
Not talking about your wife might be a good start, though.
Brian said you could be a real bitch.
Rotate.
Please tell me you're normal.
Okay, I'm really close with my family.
I mean, my my brother and I have a special relationship which some people think is weird, but you know what I mean, right? You probably have the same thing with your sister or maybe your mom or something.
My mouth is getting really dry.
Am I talking too much? - Hey.
- Well, hey.
How you doing? Did that feel like 3 minutes to you? Gotta go.
What's this? Just a little research I pulled together today.
"Market analysis for the specialty catering and baking goods industry"? I'm sorry it's not more organized, but there's so much data to be mined out there.
- Nic, you're out of control.
- Just read it.
Honey, I don't want to take over the world with my cupcakes.
But you're never gonna get another order this way.
It's not just gonna fall in your lap, Deena.
Yes, of course I remember.
Are you serious? no, not a problem.
I can do it.
Okay.
Thank you.
Bye.
What? Who was that? Another order just falling into my lap.
What? This guy I met at the open house He's throwing an anniversary party for his parents at his yacht club, and he wants 200 cupcakes by the day after tomorrow.
Can we even do that? Oh, my god.
What am I gonna wear? Wear? What an apron and a and a doughboy hat.
- What are you talking about? - Well, this guy, T.
K He's kinda I don't know.
There's a little chemistry But we are starting a business.
- We don't boff the clients.
- "We"? You could do a lot worse for a partner, trust me.
I-I don't need a partner.
I 200 cupcakes in 2 days.
Tell me you don't need my help.
Better go preheat the oven.
- Having fun on our date? - This is so not a date.
It kind of is.
Tell me your mind's not addled enough to believe that by getting me to come here, I would somehow realize what a great guy you were.
You know, why won't you just give me a chance? - Am I that bad? - You really want to know? - Yes.
- Even if it hurts? Okay.
Okay.
I have a feeling, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I-I have a feeling that you're one of those lost souls one of those guys constantly on a quest to find himself, and normally I would find that romantic, if I thought you had a chance of succeeding, but I don't.
And why is that? Because you can't stand to let anyone down.
You can't say no.
That's why everyone likes you.
That's why you'll probably get more dates than I do tonight, but you're never gonna find yourself unless you do what you want to do and not care what anyone else thinks.
So you don't care if anyone likes you? I try not to.
You know, maybe you're afraid if you care about someone, you might get hurt if you do.
Maybe but that conversation would take longer than 3 minutes.
So give me more than 3 minutes.
Can you do that? It's all I'm asking.
Saved by the horn.
Are you sleeping? No.
Can we talk? You didn't say anything earlier, but I know your friends hate me.
Are you kidding? They love you.
They're totally on board.
Everyone needs a little time to adjust to the idea, okay? You know, it was kind of sudden.
And what about us? What about us? Before I say anything else, I want you to kiss me, okay? So you know that this is coming from a good place.
Okay, you're freaking me out.
Just kiss me, okay? I think getting married may have been a mistake.
I am so glad you said that.
- Really? - Yeah, I thought it was just me.
No, I feel like we ruined this relationship by getting married.
Me, too.
It's like all of a sudden, we're acting like total strangers.
I feel like we've done this whole thing backwards.
So maybe we should actually go backwards.
Maybe.
I think we should get an annulment.
We can say we were drunk.
I wasn't drunk.
Were you? No, I don't really drink.
It gives me indigestion.
Well, then I can't say that we were drunk.
Look, I'm an officer of the court.
I can't lie in front of Jocelyn.
- Jocelyn? - Yeah, she's the judge.
That's how I got us in so quickly.
She loves me.
Nice.
- Is everything all right? - Yeah, yeah.
I just thought this whole annulment thing would take more time.
What else? Well, if you were 14, they'd annul the marriage immediately.
They'd also throw you in jail.
- Please tell me you're not 14.
- I'm not.
Look, I have been through every argument, and the only thing I can come up with is one possible claim.
What's that? Well, that I was of unsound mind when I married you.
And that won't affect your career? Pleading insanity to a judge you might try cases in front of? Temporary insanity relating to a specific time.
I experienced a deeply traumatic event being left at the altar.
I was shell-shocked.
I reacted rashly and married a girl I hardly knew on the rebound a stripper on top of everything else.
I mean, tell me, how unsound is that? Is that true? Is what true? All of it.
Do you really believe that? When you asked me out the first time, you didn't know what you were doing then either? You were just crazy? Out of your unsound mind? Why are you taking this so personally? I thought we were just trying to figure this out.
You've obviously got it figured out.
Honey, that's not, not really the right stroke.
It's more like a fluff.
You know, like a twist and a fluff.
Anyway, I have to go.
What? Wait.
Why? Where are you going? - I've got grief group.
- Grief group? Maria can help you get all this into the car.
Oh, god.
This was a bad idea.
I never should have agreed to do this.
It's gonna be okay, but remember, when you get there, be creative, okay? - Okay.
- No, I'm serious.
You can't just throw a bunch of cupcakes on the table and call it dessert.
You have to, you know, stand out, be professional.
Okay, enough, Nic.
Well, if we're gonna be partners, I just wanna make sure we're on the same page.
But I don't want a partner.
I mean, I never asked for one.
I just wanted to make some cupcakes for my friends, you know, maybe make a few bucks on the side.
- It's not a business plan.
- Yeah, but I don't care, 'cause this is my business.
It's not yours, And I and I don't want you bossing me around all the time.
Honey, I mean, can't you just get your own thing, you know, and let me do mine? Wait, honey, I'm sorry.
Nic, don't go.
I Hi, Maria.
Mrs.
Deena, I'm so sorry.
I have a big problem.
Gerald Anderson.
He's taking me to dinner tonight at 6:30.
Sushi haniwa.
I thought you don't do dating.
Well, you kinda changed my mind.
I have been a little too career-obsessed lately, and maybe a fun night on the town is exactly what I need.
I guess Gerald doesn't know how to say no either.
Well, apparently, not to me.
Yeah, well, a lot of girls said yes to me 19 out of 20 as opposed to 1.
Well, I got 20 out of 20 including you.
- What? - Yeah, full house.
No, I knew I should have left you off.
This is technically a tie.
- Why are you so competitive? - I'm not.
I'm happy for you.
Was Gerald the one who tied his sweater around his neck? Because that should be a lot of fun.
And which one are you going out with? I think the question is which one am I not going out with? Let me start at the top.
Linda Adams.
She was pretty hot.
Well, isn't she the lucky one? I'll tell Gerald you say hi.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a house to sell.
Hi there.
Hello.
Who the hell is Linda Adams? - Hi, daddy.
- Hi, daddy.
"Hi, daddy"? What the heck? Don't you ever pick up your phone anymore? - No, I was on a conference call.
- I I'm sorry.
I will never do this to you again.
I promise.
I mean, I will take care of the girls every weekend for the next 50 years if you will just do this for me.
Please? Honey, honey, I'm at work.
But Maria.
See, she had an emergency at home, and she can't sit with the girls, and I have to be at the yacht club by 5:00.
T.
K.
Is counting on me, so I have to go and - What's a T.
K.
? - No, it's a who.
It's my client.
Yeah, I'm the dessert for, like, 150 people, and I have to come up with a concept, and I have to get everything ready before I leave the house.
Deena, you know what? I can't do it, 'cause I got a meeting.
Honey, please, please? - No.
- Honey, please.
Come on! I can't count on anybody but you.
I never could count on anybody but you, and I don't know what I'm gonna do if you don't take Stop for a second.
No more crying.
Don't cry.
Not with the Just give me the girls.
- Really? - Yes, yes.
Give me the girls.
Oh, god.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- That's fine.
Okay.
- Give me a kiss.
Okay, I have to go, so be good.
Wish me luck, okay? - Okay, good luck.
- I love you, guys.
Be good.
Bye.
You have a teeny office.
And it doesn't have a door.
Okay, Larissa, get the staple remover out of your sister's hair now, please.
Get it out of me.
Please, please, I'm just asking you to - Take it out of her hair.
- But she has knots.
Don't forget, Greco.
We've got a "Berrytown" focus group meeting in 5 minutes.
Does it look like I'm gonna be ready for a focus group meeting in 5 minutes? get it out of my hair! - Can you get somebody else? - It's a focus group for "Berrytown.
" Bring the kids.
Okay, I'll be there.
"Unsound mind"? Yes, your honor.
And you agree with this opinion? He's absolutely certifiable.
I've got to say, I'm predisposed to grant your request for annulment.
I just have a few questions.
For starters, how long have you two known one another? Only two weeks, your honor.
Is that all it's been? Yeah, if you don't include the Right.
The lap dance.
Even still, it feels like I've known her much longer.
- It's weird, actually.
- Yeah.
Have you consummated the marriage? Yes.
- Yes, it was great.
- Great.
It was, wasn't it? - When you twisted your ankle? - Right, going over the threshold.
no, during you know.
yeah.
Right.
Yes So What's the problem? The problem is the problem is, ending a marriage shouldn't be this easy.
What? I mean, we could sit here all day and try to come up with the reasons why we shouldn't be married, but the truth is, something got us to that altar.
You know? And when I was standing there with you, it It felt right.
It did to me, too.
This is very sweet.
You do know better than to waste my time like this, don't you, Mr.
Hillman? Yes, your honor.
Could you please take your wife and get the hell out of my office? Thank you.
Was that game fun? hi, hi.
You got room for two more? Absolutely.
The more, the berrier.
"the more, the berrier" That's funny.
Okay, girls.
Give me a kiss.
Bye-bye.
Have fun.
I'll be behind the mirror.
Awesome.
Sit in the room, okay? Hi, guys.
Sorry I'm late.
Sorry about that.
Okay, kids.
What we're looking for today is honesty.
Don't tell me what you think I wanna hear.
Just tell me how you feel, okay? So who wants to go first? And what's your name? Geneva Greco, 552 breeze lane.
That's my girl.
My mommy and daddy are getting a divorce.
They fight a lot.
Okay, well, Geneva, why don't you tell me what you think of "Berrytown"? My dad says "Berrytown" sucks.
Okay, that quote was taken completely out of context.
Daddy.
Daddy, are you in there? Hello? I like your old job better.
And then we got into this ridiculous fight about cupcakes, and I have no idea why.
I mean, yes, she's been going through a terrible time, too.
She's separated, and if anyone has a reason to jump in a big bowl of chocolate frosting, it's her and never come out but, you know, she's out there doing it, and I-I-I was just trying to help, but I-I-I even got her first order.
- It was - Enough! Already with the cupcakes.
This is a grief group, not a baking circle.
We have serious issues to discuss here, like grief and mourning.
Cupcake's not a serious thing.
It's a Novelty act.
It's a ridiculous, frivolous, little, just wannabe cake.
you're not talking about grief.
I'm not? No.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
I-I I haven't thought about Angelo for two and a half hours.
I haven't thought about him.
I'm sorry, honey.
You know what, guys? The truth is that sometimes distraction can be a good thing.
If I don't think about him, who will? If he doesn't live in my mind then he really is dead.
Nicole, he wouldn't want you to waste your life away thinking about him.
So does this mean we still have to talk about cupcakes? It's a cupcake anniversary cake.
What do you think? I it's a great concept.
- Yeah? - I love it.
I really do.
Just a couple more.
- Let me help you.
- Nope.
Got it.
You know, I-I noticed that you You wear a wedding ring.
I'm separated.
Well, I'm I'm newly separated.
Well, thank god I asked.
I never would have known.
So what does the T.
K.
Stand for? I mean, I just asked because my friend and I were trying to guess.
you talked about me with your friend? No, I mean, yes, but not like I don't think I know you well enough to tell you.
Guess you'll just have to hire me to cater another party.
Yes, or maybe sometime you and I could go out.
Now, you guys, do daddy a favor, okay? Everybody needs to play nicely right here and give daddy a little bit of quiet time, okay? A little quiet time for daddy.
- Quiet time! Quiet time! - Very, very funny, girls.
Daddy's glad you have his see of humor, but right now daddy just needs you to go find a really, really long movie and sit there and watch it in silence, okay? Daddy, look! No, no, quiet, please.
No talking.
But, daddy, Carrie's walking! What? Oh, my god.
Carrie, Carrie, come here.
Come here.
Come to me.
Come here.
Come here.
Walk over to daddy.
Come here.
Come here.
Come to me.
Come here.
Walk over to daddy.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come to dad.
Come to dad.
Come on.
Come to daddy, Carrie.
Come to daddy.
Oh, my goodness! Oh, you did such a great job! All right, come on! - Hi.
- Hi.
The party went really well, I think.
Mean, I came up with a great concept.
- You were right about that.
- Good.
I'm glad.
I'm so sorry, Nic.
Can we just forget what I said? I need you.
I can't do this by myself.
I don't even want to.
I'm sorry, too.
I was being so bossy.
Well, that's kinda my thing, but I realized something being your partner.
It's helping me keep my mind off things.
It's it's helping me move on.
Maybe I'll even take Angelo's stuff to the goodwill next week.
so that guy T.
K.
Asked me out.
Well, I'm not surprised.
You look amazing.
Yeah, well, I said no.
I was just trying to be professional, you know, now I'm kicking myself.
So call him.
I don't know.
I don't even really know if I like him.
I just guess it's nice to have someone ask.
Come on, sweetie.
Don't you want to walk again? Come on, Carrie, let's walk.
Let's walk one more Hey, mommy.
Come on.
- Larissa, tell mommy what happened.
- Carrie walked.
- She walked? - Yep.
- Did you walk, muffin? - She totally walked.
- Did you walk? - No repeat performance, though.
We thought maybe we'd entice her with a fruit roll-up.
Come here.
Did you really walk? She did.
She did.
it was unbelievable, honey.
I'm so sorry that you missed it.
So am I.
Where's your wedding ring? I just took it off, you know, just for all the the baking and stuff.
So I heard you did the speed dating thing at Ivy's.
How did it go? Did you get any dates? Yeah, maybe one or two.
Why don't you go on one? I'm just saying, if you wanted to, it'd be fine with me.
Maybe I will.
I should go.
All right, sweet girls.
Give me a kiss.
I love you.
Good walking today.
- All right, girls.
I gotta go.
- Daddy, don't go.
I will see you so soon.
I promise, okay? No.
You be good for mommy.
I gotta go.
Okay? - We'll miss you.
- I'll miss you, too.
Have a good night's sleep.
Bye-bye.
- I love you guys.
Bye.
- I love you, daddy.
I'm so glad that you called.
I've done the speed dating thing a couple of times now, and no one ever calls.
Well, at least no one who I want to call, calls.
So why do you bother picking them? You know, that's a good point.
I'm sorry.
I think I have to get this.
- I'll go check the reservation.
- Okay.
You don't have a reservation for Bridget Keller, do you? No, sir.
How about a Gerald Anderson? I'm sorry, but that was I have to go to the hospital.
Wait, is this one of those things where your friend fakes an accident because you're having a bad time? It's my father.
Oh, my god.
I think I'm gonna faint.
How about we just sit down for a second? I can't.
I have to get to the hospital right away.
I don't think I can drive.
Do you think you can? Yes, I'll take you.
I'm sorry it took us so long.
Everything's gonna be okay, daddy.
I'm here to take care of you.
Would you stay with him while I go call my brother? Sure.
Okay.
Who are you? I'm here with your daughter Linda.
You want me to get her for you? Are you her boyfriend? well, "boyfriend strong.
Promise me you'll take care of her if anything happens to me.
Will you do that? Will you take care of her? Promise me I can't believe you said no to a man on his deathbed.
Well, you told me to.
You said it a man has to draw the line somewhere.
Not with someone about to die.
I told you, he didn't actual die.
What are we doing here? Celebrating.
I sold the house.
He picked me up, and on the way he said he was in the market for a new house, so we stopped by here on the way.
So you never made it to the restaurant? Nope.
He wants a quick escrow.
It was a cinch.
He offered full price, and we're done.
god, you're good.
Did you ever actually like the guy? I know a good business prospect when I see one, remember? I know how to target.
But when it comes to romantic prospects? I always pick wrong.
Maybe there's hope for me yet.
I have my key.
The old lady's probably asleep.
You want to go inside? No.
I'm just practicing.
Me, too.
I don't have my key.
To a beautiful friendship.
So you're finally doing friends.
Well, that depends on what you mean by "do.
" You made me a list? It's a questionnaire.
And remember, there are no wrong answers.
Okay.
"Number one what's your favorite frog?" Song.
What's your favorite song? 'Cause I was gonna say Kermit.
that would be a good answer, but sadly, not the question.
"Something" by Elton John, probably.
God, wrong answer.
What happened to "there are no wrong answers"? I lied.
okay, there's, like, 30 of these questions.
Do you give this questionnaire to every girl you date? Only the ones I marry.
- Hey, Dave.
- Hey.
A bunch of us are gonna go see the new print of "2001" tonight.
You want to go? That sounds like fun.
You know what? - I got a date tonight.
- Cool.
Yeah.
Maybe next time.
All right? I'm fine.
Okay, look, Now that Carrie's walking, just gotta do this in style.
Kiddo, help her out.
Brian will shadow Bridget.
If we sell this house, do you want to split the commission? Sure, sure.
I could use some cash.
Seems like we make a pretty good team.
Maybe I could get a business off the ground.
- A business? - A cupcake business.
I'm Nicole.
I'm a widow.
My friends they keep trying to make me feel better.
- They don't understand that - You don't.
- Want a lap dance? - Yes, please.
My real name It's Heather.
I'm sure Heather is a great girl, but are you really gonna throw away everything you've worked for? Okay, here we go! In the morning, you know we won't remember a thing In the morning you know it's gonna be all right wake him up, warm him up put him on the stage well, the boy can't help it, it's not his fault Are you awake? Did we get married last night? I think we definitely got married.
To each other? oh, god.
I don't do this.
- What do you do? - I follow plans.
I make blueprints, and I follow the plan.
That's what I do.
I well, I think last night you followed some part of your gorgeous anatomy.
Yes, this is true.
I do.
- Who's there? - I think it's the police.
- Well, we have been very bad.
- Yes, this is true.
We have.
We've been flouting the laws of marriage.
- Complimentary honeymoon breakfast.
- Yeah, that's - but we didn't - You hung the order on the door.
Something you should know about me anything that's free, I get it.
Great.
So, what did we order? For Mrs.
Hillman That's my mother's name.
You're not taking his name? yeah, you Are you going to take my name? - Do you want me to? - I don't know.
What's your last name now? Okay, then for Mr.
Hillman - You like eggs? - As long as they're not poached.
That's that's that's okay.
I'll adjust.
In fact, I-I-I feel like I like them now.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
So, do you want to eat at the table? In the bed? We obviously know each other so well.
Yes, yes, but we are in sync about one thing.
- Skip the breakfast? Yes.
- Skip the breakfast, yes.
I love you, Heather.
What are you doing? No one cares about the hedges.
Mrs.
Elizalde does.
So what? She's selling the house, not buying it.
The gardener he's beeslacking off so she asked me to look at 'em.
So do you always do whatever anyone asks you to do? - Nope.
- Sure, you do, but that's a good thing because I need you to start the caravan tomorrow.
I'm gonna be a little late.
Well, I thought you said you don't do open houses.
Well, a caravan isn't the same as an open house.
Open houses are for real estate groupies.
Caravans are for real estate agents and serious clients.
It's the first step to a big sale.
Then why'd you move the sign? Because if there's not one in the yard, then people will think we already have an offer, and I can guarantee we'll be in multiples by the end of the week.
Look at you, getting all excited.
Selling houses really turns you on.
- I don't get excited.
- Sure, you do.
You're all flushed, just like the other night, upstairs in the master bedroom.
See, most women don't fall for pickup lines from guys holding 10-inch garden shears.
Admit it.
You can't stop thinking about it.
Look, Brian, I am flattered by the attention, but I told you, I don't want a relationship.
I don't want to date.
I just want to focus on my career.
You can do both, you know have a career and a social life.
I do.
And that's exactly why I'm gonna find a buyer for this house before you do.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Nicole, are you home? Yeah, I'm here.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So what did you do today? I did the cupcake thing.
What did you do? You get out? No, you know, I don't get out much now that the doctor's made me stop working.
Well, you're lucky.
It's a jungle out there.
I went to all these different coffeehouses with my cupcakes, but they all have suppliers.
What, you just went in there cold? Honey, that's not how you do it.
You get that first order, and that order leads to the next, and so on, and so on, and so on.
That's the point.
How do I get my first order? Your friends.
Hello! You youyou network.
You cajole.
You don't take no for an answer.
We have to know somebody who needs cupcakes.
You get them to hire you, and then you put out those cute, little, you know, business cards.
We could do a really cool logo.
Oh, my god.
I'm having ideas.
I don't think I've had a-a single idea since since Angelo died.
You can't start a business unless you're selling something.
And you know what you're selling? - Cupcakes? - No, yourself.
It's not funny.
How many orders do you have so far? - Zero.
- That's my point.
I guarantee you, I will have your first order by the end of the night.
I'm just saying, I got the older girls, and they're always with the talking and the chitchat, and I got Carrie.
She's crawling all over everything, right? And and and now Deena wants me to watch the kids while she tries to get a first order for these cupcakes, which is never gonna happen.
Actually, she already got it.
You ordered the cupcakes? Yes, I needed something homey and sweet-smelling for the caravan tomorrow.
Caravan? What are you, Lawrence of Arabia? Nic called and asked me to order them as a favor to get Deena's company rolling.
Fantastic, and you just do what anyone asks you to do.
No, I do not.
Hey, are you still coming tomorrow? Please tell me she didn't get you to do this.
Of course she did, because Brian says yes to everything anybody asks him.
I do not.
Yeah, what is it anyway? Well, I'm trying to attract more women to the bar, so I'm having this thing tomorrow night.
It's It's speed dating for nonlosers.
So for 20 bucks, you get 3 fun-filled minutes a piece with 20 hot, intelligent women that were handpicked by me, but I was short on guys, so I had to get Brian and Jimmy.
Why didn't you ask me? Because I thought maybe you'd still be a little damaged.
- From Deena and the separation.
- Great, yeah, terrific.
And I promised the girls the guys would be available.
So you asked your husband and the poster child for commitment issues? All right.
Fine, good point.
You're in.
- Good.
Thank you.
- Congratulations.
I want you guys to hear the buzzer I got to let people know when to rotate.
You know, something loud that says, "you've known each other for 3 minutes.
Move on.
" Be right back.
Awesome.
- Commitment issues? - Dude, are you serious? - You want me to make a list? - You guys out of your minds? - This is a terrible idea.
- This is a great idea, Jim.
And you should totally bring Bridget.
Why? So I can set her up with 19 other guys? 19 other jerks.
It's gonna make you look great.
Yeah, but I don't want her.
- I mean, sure, she's hot.
- Yeah.
- And sure, she is a good kisser.
- She is? And sure, I could picture the two of us together, but really, all I care about right now is beating her.
- Dude? - No, not physically.
I meant the house.
I'm gonna sell the house before she does and shove it in her face.
Dude, you so want her.
There are my boys.
Hey, where have you been, man? - Is that the - Stripper? - Yeah, that'd be her.
- Sweet.
Mrs.
Heather Hillman.
We just got married.
Hi.
I guess you guys aren't registered anywhere yet.
Hilarious.
What were you thinking? I didn't know you were seeing anyone.
- Neither did I.
- I thought you broke up with her.
I never said that, and I didn't tell you two guys 'cause I didn't want you to think I was overreacting about Marjorie.
Come on.
Who's gonna think that? You know, I came here to share this with my friends.
The least you could do is be happy for me.
- We can do that.
- We could be happy.
I mean, we don't really know her, but I guess you don't really know her, so You know, I knew Marjorie, and you knew Deena, and look how that turned out.
Don't do that.
Look, all I'm saying is it's, you know, it's a crapshoot.
So what's the difference? You can't compare what I had with Deena and what you just did.
I knew Deena for 13 years.
You knew her for what, 13 hours? Right? I know everything there is to know about Deena, and I miss her every day.
It wasn't a joke to me.
I took my vow seriously.
Well, maybe in 13 years, I'll feel the same way about Heather.
That's all I'm trying to say.
Come on, Dave.
- You know, you just - Okay, fine.
- you never know.
- You never know.
You you just can't say it's not a possibility.
- It's a possibility.
- Of course it is.
Of course it is.
Listen, as long as Summer H-Heather, whatever, makes you happy, she's good by us, right, guys? Yeah, absolutely.
- Mazel tov, baby.
- Mazel tov.
to Adam and Heather and a long, glorious future, right? to a long, glorious future what you said.
hey, Deena.
you look handsome in your fancy outfit.
I never thought I'd see the day.
Brian Davis with a real job.
Me either.
- Where do you want 'em? - Put 'em right there.
Okay.
- You want to hear my sales pitch? - Of course.
Start with the kitchen.
6-burner vintage stove with griddle and hood.
- Sold.
- What do I owe you? - 5.
75.
- Million? I might be just a little short on that.
- Here's a start.
- Thank you.
Thank your partner for the overcharging.
- And there you go.
- What do I do with this? Put it in the vintage oven at 350 for 30 minutes.
- It'll make the house smell good.
- Okay.
That's a good idea.
- Hello.
- Hi.
I'm early, I know, but, truth is I can't stand my realtor, so I'm gonna do a run-through before she gets here.
Not that I have anything against realtors, I just I'm not a realtor.
Thank god, 'cause that would've been awkward.
Want a cupcake? Absolutely.
Let's see here.
Looks good.
- That's a damn good cupcake.
- Thanks.
T.
K.
- T.
K.
? - T.
K.
, My name's T.
K.
Deena.
How you doing? I'm Brian Davis.
- Are you a realtor? - No.
I mean, not that we have anything against realtors.
- I'm gonna go.
- Thanks again, Deena.
Yeah.
So, how about we check out the kitchen first? There's a vintage Don't you have to be at work already? I have a deposition in Pasadena.
I'm gonna go straight there.
You need anything? Food? Tv? Crackers? No, I'm fine.
- Crackers? - Yeah.
I don't know why I keep acting like you've never been here before.
What's that? It's our marriage certificate.
It's amazing how little you need to know about someone to get married.
Name, address, social security number, photo I.
D That's it.
It's harder to get cable installed.
Well, why don't we start by giving you my office number, just in case you need to reach me? Yeah.
You know what I was just thinking about? What if I get hit by a bus this afternoon and end up in a coma? Okay, well, that's morbid.
I just realized you'd be the one who'd have to make all the decisions about what to do with me pull the plug, put me on life support, give me a feeding tube.
How weird is that? Well, not as weird as you thinking about all this the day after we got married.
Okay, so I'm gonna see you tonight, right? Unless, of course, one of us gets hit by a bus.
There you go.
actually, I don't get off work until 3:00 tonight, but I'll be here when you wake up.
Right.
Great.
So cupcakes? Hi.
That was your big plan? Well, you told me to make it smell good.
Plus, I got three potentials.
Hi.
How you doing? And you think that those people are interested because you were their friend? - Nice angle.
- What's yours? I know how to target.
I know who's interested and who's not.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I don't need cupcakes.
You probably don't even know how to bake cupcakes.
apparently, neither do you.
Are you trying to make it so that neither one of us can sell this house? - It's really not that bad.
- We can't show the house like this.
Come on.
Why not? We'll give people a wet cloth to place over their face, stay low to the ground where the air is cool.
It'll be just like "the towering inferno.
" I saw that.
You almost laughed.
No, actually, I was really just coughing from the smoke.
Can I tell you something about yourself? Is there any way I can stop you? You take things way too seriously.
Listen, I'm going to this thing tonight for a friend.
She owns a bar, and she's having this kind of speed dating tonight.
- You should come with me.
- Why? I told you, I'm not dating.
How about for fun? You know, maybe you've heard of it? Seen pictures? Listen, if you're worried I'll get more dates than you, it's perfectly understandable.
Oh, god.
That is not gonna work on me.
We are not in middle school.
Fine, don't go.
I'll get more dates than you and meet more clients.
Technically? Unemployed.
I do a lot of freelance work, though.
Really? Is there a big market for freelance urologists? rotate.
You know, kids bring so much joy to your life.
I'm not saying that they don't.
I just wish that sometimes they could drive themselves to school.
You know what I mean.
I mean, I don't know about you, but I think it's kind of stupid.
I mean, I totally understand the concept behind this, but what can you really learn about somebody in three minutes? I like to eat my own hair.
you know, maybe if I took off my ring, that would have helped.
Well, no offense, Dave, but I'm not sure losing the ring would've made much of a difference.
Not talking about your wife might be a good start, though.
Brian said you could be a real bitch.
Rotate.
Please tell me you're normal.
Okay, I'm really close with my family.
I mean, my my brother and I have a special relationship which some people think is weird, but you know what I mean, right? You probably have the same thing with your sister or maybe your mom or something.
My mouth is getting really dry.
Am I talking too much? - Hey.
- Well, hey.
How you doing? Did that feel like 3 minutes to you? Gotta go.
What's this? Just a little research I pulled together today.
"Market analysis for the specialty catering and baking goods industry"? I'm sorry it's not more organized, but there's so much data to be mined out there.
- Nic, you're out of control.
- Just read it.
Honey, I don't want to take over the world with my cupcakes.
But you're never gonna get another order this way.
It's not just gonna fall in your lap, Deena.
Yes, of course I remember.
Are you serious? no, not a problem.
I can do it.
Okay.
Thank you.
Bye.
What? Who was that? Another order just falling into my lap.
What? This guy I met at the open house He's throwing an anniversary party for his parents at his yacht club, and he wants 200 cupcakes by the day after tomorrow.
Can we even do that? Oh, my god.
What am I gonna wear? Wear? What an apron and a and a doughboy hat.
- What are you talking about? - Well, this guy, T.
K He's kinda I don't know.
There's a little chemistry But we are starting a business.
- We don't boff the clients.
- "We"? You could do a lot worse for a partner, trust me.
I-I don't need a partner.
I 200 cupcakes in 2 days.
Tell me you don't need my help.
Better go preheat the oven.
- Having fun on our date? - This is so not a date.
It kind of is.
Tell me your mind's not addled enough to believe that by getting me to come here, I would somehow realize what a great guy you were.
You know, why won't you just give me a chance? - Am I that bad? - You really want to know? - Yes.
- Even if it hurts? Okay.
Okay.
I have a feeling, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I-I have a feeling that you're one of those lost souls one of those guys constantly on a quest to find himself, and normally I would find that romantic, if I thought you had a chance of succeeding, but I don't.
And why is that? Because you can't stand to let anyone down.
You can't say no.
That's why everyone likes you.
That's why you'll probably get more dates than I do tonight, but you're never gonna find yourself unless you do what you want to do and not care what anyone else thinks.
So you don't care if anyone likes you? I try not to.
You know, maybe you're afraid if you care about someone, you might get hurt if you do.
Maybe but that conversation would take longer than 3 minutes.
So give me more than 3 minutes.
Can you do that? It's all I'm asking.
Saved by the horn.
Are you sleeping? No.
Can we talk? You didn't say anything earlier, but I know your friends hate me.
Are you kidding? They love you.
They're totally on board.
Everyone needs a little time to adjust to the idea, okay? You know, it was kind of sudden.
And what about us? What about us? Before I say anything else, I want you to kiss me, okay? So you know that this is coming from a good place.
Okay, you're freaking me out.
Just kiss me, okay? I think getting married may have been a mistake.
I am so glad you said that.
- Really? - Yeah, I thought it was just me.
No, I feel like we ruined this relationship by getting married.
Me, too.
It's like all of a sudden, we're acting like total strangers.
I feel like we've done this whole thing backwards.
So maybe we should actually go backwards.
Maybe.
I think we should get an annulment.
We can say we were drunk.
I wasn't drunk.
Were you? No, I don't really drink.
It gives me indigestion.
Well, then I can't say that we were drunk.
Look, I'm an officer of the court.
I can't lie in front of Jocelyn.
- Jocelyn? - Yeah, she's the judge.
That's how I got us in so quickly.
She loves me.
Nice.
- Is everything all right? - Yeah, yeah.
I just thought this whole annulment thing would take more time.
What else? Well, if you were 14, they'd annul the marriage immediately.
They'd also throw you in jail.
- Please tell me you're not 14.
- I'm not.
Look, I have been through every argument, and the only thing I can come up with is one possible claim.
What's that? Well, that I was of unsound mind when I married you.
And that won't affect your career? Pleading insanity to a judge you might try cases in front of? Temporary insanity relating to a specific time.
I experienced a deeply traumatic event being left at the altar.
I was shell-shocked.
I reacted rashly and married a girl I hardly knew on the rebound a stripper on top of everything else.
I mean, tell me, how unsound is that? Is that true? Is what true? All of it.
Do you really believe that? When you asked me out the first time, you didn't know what you were doing then either? You were just crazy? Out of your unsound mind? Why are you taking this so personally? I thought we were just trying to figure this out.
You've obviously got it figured out.
Honey, that's not, not really the right stroke.
It's more like a fluff.
You know, like a twist and a fluff.
Anyway, I have to go.
What? Wait.
Why? Where are you going? - I've got grief group.
- Grief group? Maria can help you get all this into the car.
Oh, god.
This was a bad idea.
I never should have agreed to do this.
It's gonna be okay, but remember, when you get there, be creative, okay? - Okay.
- No, I'm serious.
You can't just throw a bunch of cupcakes on the table and call it dessert.
You have to, you know, stand out, be professional.
Okay, enough, Nic.
Well, if we're gonna be partners, I just wanna make sure we're on the same page.
But I don't want a partner.
I mean, I never asked for one.
I just wanted to make some cupcakes for my friends, you know, maybe make a few bucks on the side.
- It's not a business plan.
- Yeah, but I don't care, 'cause this is my business.
It's not yours, And I and I don't want you bossing me around all the time.
Honey, I mean, can't you just get your own thing, you know, and let me do mine? Wait, honey, I'm sorry.
Nic, don't go.
I Hi, Maria.
Mrs.
Deena, I'm so sorry.
I have a big problem.
Gerald Anderson.
He's taking me to dinner tonight at 6:30.
Sushi haniwa.
I thought you don't do dating.
Well, you kinda changed my mind.
I have been a little too career-obsessed lately, and maybe a fun night on the town is exactly what I need.
I guess Gerald doesn't know how to say no either.
Well, apparently, not to me.
Yeah, well, a lot of girls said yes to me 19 out of 20 as opposed to 1.
Well, I got 20 out of 20 including you.
- What? - Yeah, full house.
No, I knew I should have left you off.

That's my girl.
My mommy and daddy are getting a divorce.

And then we got into this ridiculous fight about cupcakes, and I have no idea why.
I mean, yes, she's been going through a terrible time, too.
She's separated, and if anyone has a reason to jump in a big bowl of chocolate frosting, it's her and never come out but, you know, she's out there doing it, and I-I-I was just trying to help, but I-I-I even got her first order.
- It was - Enough! Already with the cupcakes.
This is a grief group, not a baking circle.
We have serious issues to discuss here, like grief and mourning.
Cupcake's not a serious thing.
It's a Novelty act.
It's a ridiculous, frivolous, little, just wannabe cake.
you're not talking about grief.
I'm not? No.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
I-I I haven't thought about Angelo for two and a half hours.
I haven't thought about him.
I'm sorry, honey.
You know what, guys? The truth is that sometimes distraction can be a good thing.
If I don't think about him, who will? If he doesn't live in my mind then he really is dead.
Nicole, he wouldn't want you to waste your life away thinking about him.
So does this mean we still have to talk about cupcakes? It's a cupcake anniversary cake.
What do you think? I it's a great concept.
- Yeah? - I love it.
I really do.
Just a couple more.
- Let me help you.
- Nope.
Got it.

So what does the T.
K.
Stand for? I mean, I just asked because my friend and I were trying to guess.
you talked about me with your friend? No, I mean, yes, but not like I don't think I know you well enough to tell you.
Guess you'll just have to hire me to cater another party.
Yes, or maybe sometime you and I could go out.
Now, you guys, do daddy a favor, okay? Everybody needs to play nicely right here and give daddy a little bit of quiet time, okay? A little quiet time for daddy.
- Quiet time! Quiet time! - Very, very funny, girls.
Daddy's glad you have his see of humor, but right now daddy just needs you to go find a really, really long movie and sit there and watch it in silence, okay? Daddy, look! No, no, quiet, please.
No talking.

I'm so sorry, Nic.
Can we just forget what I said? I need you.
I can't do this by myself.
I don't even want to.
I'm sorry, too.
I was being so bossy.
Well, that's kinda my thing, but I realized something being your partner.
It's helping me keep my mind off things.
It's it's helping me move on.
Maybe I'll even take Angelo's stuff to the goodwill next week.

K.
Asked me out.
Well, I'm not surprised.
You look amazing.
Yeah, well, I said no.
I was just trying to be professional, you know, now I'm kicking myself.
So call him.
I don't know.
I don't even really know if I like him.
I just guess it's nice to have someone ask.
Come on, sweetie.
Don't you want to walk again? Come on, Carrie, let's walk.
Let's walk one more Hey, mommy.
Come on.
- Larissa, tell mommy what happened.
- Carrie walked.
- She walked? - Yep.

We thought maybe we'd entice her with a fruit roll-up.
Come here.
Did you really walk? She did.
She did.
it was unbelievable, honey.
I'm so sorry that you missed it.
So am I.
Where's your wedding ring? I just took it off, you know, just for all the the baking and stuff.
So I heard you did the speed dating thing at Ivy's.
How did it go? Did you get any dates? Yeah, maybe one or two.
Why don't you go on one? I'm just saying, if you wanted to, it'd be fine with me.
Maybe I will.
I should go.
All right, sweet girls.
Give me a kiss.
I love you.

I'm so glad that you called.
I've done the speed dating thing a couple of times now, and no one ever calls.
Well, at least no one who I want to call, calls.
So why do you bother picking them? You know, that's a good point.
I'm sorry.
I think I have to get this.
- I'll go check the reservation.
- Okay.
You don't have a reservation for Bridget Keller, do you? No, sir.
How about a Gerald Anderson? I'm sorry, but that was I have to go to the hospital.
Wait, is this one of those things where your friend fakes an accident because you're having a bad time? It's my father.
Oh, my god.
I think I'm gonna faint.
How about we just sit down for a second? I can't.
I have to get to the hospital right away.
I don't think I can drive.
Do you think you can? Yes, I'll take you.
I'm sorry it took us so long.
Everything's gonna be okay, daddy.

You want me to get her for you? Are you her boyfriend? well, "boyfriend strong.
Promise me you'll take care of her if anything happens to me.
Will you do that? Will you take care of her? Promise me I can't believe you said no to a man on his deathbed.
Well, you told me to.
You said it a man has to draw the line somewhere.
Not with someone about to die.
I told you, he didn't actual die.
What are we doing here? Celebrating.
I sold the house.
He picked me up, and on the way he said he was in the market for a new house, so we stopped by here on the way.
So you never made it to the restaurant? Nope.
He wants a quick escrow.
It was a cinch.
He offered full price, and we're done.
god, you're good.
Did you ever actually like the guy? I know a good business prospect when I see one, remember? I know how to target.
But when it comes to romantic prospects? I always pick wrong.
Maybe there's hope for me yet.

The old lady's probably asleep.
You want to go inside? No.
I'm just practicing.
Me, too.
I don't have my key.
To a beautiful friendship.
So you're finally doing friends.
Well, that depends on what you mean by "do.
" You made me a list? It's a questionnaire.
And remember, there are no wrong answers.
Okay.
"Number one what's your favorite frog?" Song.
What's your favorite song? 'Cause I was gonna say Kermit.
that would be a good answer, but sadly, not the question.
"Something" by Elton John, probably.
God, wrong answer.
What happened to "there are no wrong answers"? I lied.
okay, there's, like, 30 of these questions.
Do you give this questionnaire to every girl you date? Only the ones I marry.
- Hey, Dave.
- Hey.
A bunch of us are gonna go see the new print of "2001" tonight.
