Felicity s04e13 Episode Script
Kiss and Tell
Previously on Felicity I should've said something last night, but I'm sort of seeing someone.
Let's do it, let's call them and say yes.
- What about Zoe? - She has a boyfriend.
What about Webb? Won't it be weird to work there? Yeah, you know, in the beginning.
I gotta talk to you about something.
Lauren's pregnant.
And it's mine.
- I don't know what to say.
- I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- Delicious.
- Good.
I can't tell you how amazing it is to have dinner with my son after all that's happened.
Yeah, it is.
It really is.
So what have you and Mom been up to? Nothing.
And that's just how we like it.
I don't even have to be back at work until next month, so she and I are just gonna kick back and try to enjoy life - as much as we can until then.
- That sounds great.
It is.
Oh, that reminds me, I, er, I saw Lauren yesterday and she says hi.
Oh.
Um, how is she? Are you ready? She's pregnant.
- Oh.
- You know.
She looks great, it's just she won't say who the father is.
- I guess he doesn't wanna be involved.
- Uh-huh.
It's incredible how self-absorbed people can be.
This guy thinks his problems are more important than anything else.
It's probably more complicated than that.
It's probably more complicated, but there's a kid involved.
- You want some dessert? - No, I'm all right.
- Mind if I have some? - Go ahead.
- I'll have yours.
It's so much fun being with you.
Yeah, it is.
* Can you become * * Can you become * * A new version of you? * * New wallpaper * * New shoe leather * * New way home * * I don't remember * * A new version of you * * I need a new version of me * * A new version of you * * I need a new version of me * - Hey.
- Do you wanna go for a walk? - Sure.
- Good.
Um, let me let me get my coat.
- So what are you thinking? - About what? This whole thing.
I guess I'm still a little Overwhelmed.
Yeah.
I had dinner with my dad.
I, er, I guess Lauren told him.
I mean, he doesn't know I'm the father.
No? Felicity, I'm telling you, it's gonna be okay.
I know.
You said that.
But it is.
It's gonna be okay.
Yeah, I know.
- What are you doing up? - I'm making a sandwich.
You want one? No.
What time is it? You're making a sandwich at 2:37 in the morning? I had this dream that I was stranded on a desert island and the only thing to eat was like, you know, sand and sticks potato bugs and so on.
And I woke up starving.
What are you doing up at this hour? I I just, I couldn't sleep.
- You wanna talk about it? - I don't know.
I just feel like I just feel like everything's changing.
I know this career thing is freaking you out, but you will find something.
You are.
You said that to me a hundred times last year.
You were right.
- I have an idea.
- Where are you going? - The course catalogue.
- My problem isn't finding classes.
It'll give us some ideas.
You just need to find something that might be a possibility and you dive in.
If it doesn't work, you move on to the next thing.
- Anthropology? - This is ridiculous.
I know nothing about anthropology.
- Architecture? - Architecture.
What do you think? - That could be interesting.
- For you, yeah, it'd be great.
You know, it it combines your art with your science background.
- That's true.
- I know a guy you can talk to about it.
- You do? - Yeah, his name is Adam.
Adam Davis.
He's a friend of mine, a grad student.
He called me last week.
He's working on this model for some contest.
The person who usually helps him can't.
You'd be great.
It would be really great to dive into something right now and just get my mind off everything.
- I can call him.
- Sure.
- Okay.
Good.
- What? - Nothing.
This just helped.
- You want a bite? - It does look really good.
Thank you.
Hey, let's go out tonight.
- You gotta take see this.
- Sean, did you hear what I said? - Yeah.
No, I can't tonight.
- Why not? All right, check this out.
I don't wanna check it out, I wanna go out.
- Shoe covers.
- We never do anything.
- Just look at it.
- I'm looking at it, I see it.
- Shoe covers.
- You said that.
It looks like you're wearing - a dress shoe but you're not.
- Why? Dress shoes are really uncomfortable.
- Okay, that's the dumbest idea ever.
- This is a great idea.
If people's shoes are uncomfortable, they buy other shoes.
People love shoes.
Mariah Carey alone has 500 pairs.
Would it kill you to support me just once in your life? - Would it kill you to go out? - What is your problem? - You are my problem.
- Right back at you.
Ben Covington.
I remember you.
An A in Organic Chemistry.
- Yeah.
- I got a B.
An A is better.
We just made this appointment to make sure we're doing everything we should be to get into med school.
Well, I don't see any volunteer work.
- Volunteer work? - Yes.
Helping people for no pay.
Basically what I do.
Every day.
- We haven't done any of that.
- But we can if it matters.
- It does.
- Let's Let's do it.
What can we do? Well, let's see - There's Big Brothers.
- What's that? You'd be a mentor to young boys.
A father figure, if you will.
Mr.
Norman, is this important? Do med schools look at this type of thing? Yes.
All right, then, we'll be Big Brothers.
- Zoe.
- Yeah? - Is this weird? - What? This.
This You know, the way we just keep passing each other in the halls.
I know, it's weird.
I just I feel like I don't really know how to act around you, so I've just been avoiding you.
Me too, but I've been thinking and I don't think it has to be like that.
This is our job.
You know, we should just be professional.
- Professional? - Yeah.
- And you're okay with that? - I'm great with it.
Okay, 'cause, er my dad's gonna be out of town the next two weeks and he put me in charge of the CGG account.
- Mm-hm.
Okay.
- See, now this is weird again.
No, this is not weird.
- I didn't say anything, it's too weird.
- It's not weird.
That's your job, that's what we're here to do.
- We're professionals.
- Right.
Uh, a couple of my friends are throwing a party tomorrow night I don't know, maybe you wanna go with me? - Yeah, that'd be great.
- Okay, good.
Well, then we should definitely get back to our jobs.
Yes.
Be professional.
Professional.
Excuse me, I'm looking for someone named Adam.
- Oh, yeah, he's right over there.
- Okay, thanks.
Don't hang up, just give me five minutes.
One minute? Dina? Hello? Uh, Adam? Hi, I'm sorry to bother you.
I'm Felicity, Noel Crane's friend.
Oh, yeah.
Uh, he called about you.
- Is now a bad time? - No, no, no, now's good.
Um, I don't know how much Noel has told you, uh, about me, but I'm, um, sort of searching for a career path and we were talking, and I thought this sounded interesting.
- Can I ask you something? - Yes.
Sure.
Say you're dating someone.
Uh, she says she's in love with you and then one day, bam she wants to break up.
Yes or no, she's dating someone else? - I I don't know.
- It's the only thing that makes sense.
You know, I, I'm not really sure.
Noel mentioned that you might need help working on a model.
Yeah.
Uh Dina used to help me with that.
- Maybe Maybe I could help.
- Really? 'Cause that'd that'd be incredible.
- This thing's due this week.
- You have to show me what to do.
Definitely.
Um - Dina used to help me.
- Yeah, you mentioned that.
Dad, sorry, I thought the game was tomorrow.
Oh, that's no problem.
So we're a few minutes late, big deal.
Oh, listen, after the game I'd like to stop by Lauren's, all right? - Why? - Well, I got her some books on what to expect when you're expecting.
If this guy won't help her, I will.
- I have to talk to you about something.
- Sure.
You wanna make it quick so we get to see some of the first quarter, please! - It's about Lauren.
- Yeah? - Dad, I know who the father is.
- Who? It's me, Dad.
What are you talking about? We slept together when Felicity and I were broken up.
I know you think it's selfish - I said that, Ben, because I assumed - It's okay.
It's okay.
The thing is, I didn't find out until last week.
She waited four months to tell me, Dad.
I'm so sorry.
Maybe you're right.
I just don't know what I'm supposed to do.
Drop out of school and get a job? - I wanna be a doctor.
- I know you do.
I'm not ready for this.
You were right, it is complicated.
Yeah, it is.
What's going on.
I called you a bunch of times.
No one picked up.
I thought you were coming to my place? No, I know, I just have to work on this model.
- Well, how's it going? - I don't know, because the guy was so involved in his love life, he barely explained anything.
- How was the game? - Oh, we didn't go.
But I did tell him about Lauren.
- What did he say? - Nothing.
He just Just kinda listened, like a dad.
- That's good.
- Yeah.
So do you wanna come over to my place later? Um You know, I feel like I better work on this.
Is everything all right? Yeah.
I wanna get this done.
Are you sure? 'Cause you seem kind of upset.
I'm I'm okay.
I'm fine.
Okay.
You can show me Hello.
How's everybody doing? - Hi, I'm Noel.
- Hi, I'm Jessica.
- You just started last week, right? - I did, yeah.
My desk is two down from yours.
- Okay, uh, can we get started? Noel? - Sure.
- Could you update us on CGG Corps? - Right.
Uh, do I stand? - Standing would be good.
- Okay.
Sean and I have been working on an idea for a CGG mail-order catalogue.
- Excuse me? - A mail-order catalogue.
Did I miss something? I don't remember the company asking for a catalogue.
- They didn't, but we thought - So I don't understand.
We thought it might be a good idea for CGG - To waste money? - No.
Maybe you should look at our ideas.
- I don't need to.
- You do.
We have a whole I've heard enough.
Thanks.
Um, why don't we move this along? Kim? - So you're gonna talk to Zoe, right? - Yes.
You'd tell me if you were sleeping together? Sean, we're friends.
There's a lot of tension between you.
- I'm gonna talk to her.
Good, 'cause the last thing we need is for her to make our work life hell.
I get enough of that at home.
What d'you mean? I'm married to somebody who hates all of my ideas.
- Meghan hates everything.
- But this last idea was incredible.
- It's shoe covers.
- What's a shoe cover? They slip over your shoe so they look like dress shoes, There's no chafing, but you're wearing your sneakers.
no blistering.
It's just comfort all day long.
- Call 'em "shoe jackets".
- What? - Shoe jackets.
- I like that.
It's a good idea.
Shoe jackets, huh? You really You think that's a good idea? I'd buy them.
There you go.
A couple of friends of ours are having a party tonight, at UNY.
Sprows Hall.
You should come.
I could show you the prototype for shoe jackets.
- Sounds fun.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- Okay, I'll see you there.
I'm Sean.
- Clancy.
- Clancy.
Thanks, Clancy.
- What are you doing? You're married.
- That was for you.
She's really cute.
That was for me? That wasn't for me.
- I thought I made that pretty obvious.
- No.
Uh, and palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too? Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do.
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.
Scene.
- Good scene.
- Yeah, if you like saccharine schmaltz.

- I'll see you there.
- Okay.
Okay, look, nobody understands the allure of Romeo more than I do, but you're married.
Yeah, to a grandpa who's asleep by nine.
- I wasn't sure if it was exactly right.
- Will you call someone for me? - What? - I called Dina and some guy answered.
- Do you think she's seeing him? - I still don't know.
- If the guy answers, ask for Dina.
- I Uh, hello.
Is Dina there? - It was him, wasn't it? - Yeah.
- Oh, I can't believe this.
- Hello Hi, Dina, it's me.
Who's the guy? Hello? She hung up.
- Maybe you should look at this - I don't get it.
We were perfect for each other.
I guess sometimes, things just don't work out the way you think they're going to.
Yeah.
- Sometimes love sucks.
- I know, doesn't it? Yeah.
Oh, my God.
What happened? - Is something wrong? - Yeah, this is, uh, this is all wrong.

- Hi.
Nice to see you're working hard.
I'm, um, I'm doing this Big Brother thing.
Really? That is great.
Yeah, I'm meeting him today.
I have to leave pretty soon.
Before you go, I need to speak to you.
I've been thinking - about what we talked about last night.
- Yeah.
Ben, I know you're in an incredibly difficult position and I feel terrible about it.
What, Dad? I think you're making a mistake and I don't want you to do something you're going to regret.
- Dad - I know it's complicated.
No, it's simple.
She decided to have a kid and I didn't.
But that child's going to need a father.
- Are you serious? - I've been through it.
Well, you're the last person I wanna listen to about this.
Look, Ben, I know I wasn't the perfect father No, you weren't a father.
Well, I'm trying to be one right now.
Well, it's a little late.
I gotta go.
Hey, can I talk to you? - Sure.
What's up? - That's what I was gonna ask you.
Nothing, I'm just getting ready for a presentation.
No, I was talking about yesterday.
What was that? Oh Yeah, I know, I'm sorry, that was that was awkward.
I thought we were gonna be professional.
- We were.
- No, you were insulting.
If you're uncomfortable with our relationship, we can talk, - but don't take it out on me like that.
- I wasn't.
- I just didn't like some of your ideas.
- You haven't even heard them.
Listen, Noel, I know it's hard working below me, but Zoe, below you.
.
come on.
If it wasn't for me, you guys wouldn't even have this account.
Look, I really need to finish this presentation, okay? Fine.
But you should, uh, you should really look at our ideas.
They're really good.
- Is that it? - That's it.
Oh, my God, it's four in the morning.
- Sorry.
- No, no, it's, uh It's nice to have a distraction.
Yeah, for me too.
So, what are you trying to escape? I don't know, I guess just my life is kind of intense right now.
Should I not ask? No.
Hmm No.
Wait, but this was really good.
This was fun to do.
- You're good at it.
- Come on.
There's no way I would've finished this without you.
That residual space idea - I don't know what that is.
- The space between buildings.
Oh, that.
Yeah, um, that wasn't really an idea.
Yeah, it is.
I'm just saying you said you were searching for something and maybe this is it.
Maybe.
Look, I wanna take you to dinner tonight, to say thanks.
You know, uh, tonight I'm I can't.

I don't think so.
I look all right? What? I'm kidding.
- Oh, my God, she's here.
- What? I'll see you later, man.

I just want you to know I'm totally into the open marriage thing.
Can you excuse me? Hi.
I'm Meghan.

So, you guys have a good time.
Oh, I forgot to mention, Rocco kissed me today in theater class.
On the lips.
- You're her husband? - She's a little She doesn't know what she's talking about.
I'll be right back.
Hey Newsflash: Clancy loves the shoe cover idea.
- Newsflash: She's an idiot.
- Newsflash: I'm doing it.
Newsflash: It'll be as successful as all your other ideas.
Oh, and this just in: Rocco invited me to see his band tonight.
- Newsflash: I don't care.
- You should.
Why? You wanna be with Rocco? At least he doesn't make me feel like a grandma.
- Okay, fine, be with Rocco.
- Fine, I will.
Go be with your little coffee girl.
- Now that's a great idea.
- At least one of us has good ideas.
Hi.
Hey.
Adam.
Hey.
- How's it going? - Good.
- I didn't realize there'd be so many people.
- Yeah.
Neither did I.
Are you okay? - Yeah.
I I'm fine.
- Hey, uh - Guess what? - What? - I submitted our model.
- You did? Great.
Yeah, except I saw the other entries.
- We don't have a chance.
- You're gonna be fine.
No, not really.
Are you sure you're okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
- Do you wanna get a drink? Yes, I do.
Let's go.
So I looked at your ideas for the catalogue.
You were right.
They were good.
Thank you.
Noel I'm sorry.
We said we were gonna be professional, but I wasn't.
Hey, that's okay.
When I saw you across the room from me, I don't know I couldn't help it.
What are you talking about? The meeting.
There was a seat right next to me and you sat next to Jessica.
- Who is Jessica? - The girl you were sitting next to.
Wait, this whole thing's about me sitting next to Jessica? I know.
It's stupid.
I like you.
I don't know, I saw you sitting next to her and I don't know.
You know the only reason I didn't sit next to you was because I was nervous.
- About what? - About being near you.
Why? What did you think would happen? I don't know.
Maybe this.
That wasn't very professional.
Is that a problem? Yeah.
So what happened with you and Dina? Did it ever work out? No, she never called me back.
Sorry.
I've been doing everything I can not to call her.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What about you? I mean, what happened with your stuff? - Is it any better? - No.
- Well, you know what I think? - What? - I think you're great.
- Thank you.
Adam what are you doing? - I'm not sure.
- Adam, I have a boyfriend.
Oh, God.
Really? - Yes, and this isn't a good time for me.
- I know.
I'm sorry.
- I'm gonna go.
- Okay.
Thanks for the party.
It was really fun.
Wait here.
- This is unbelievable.
- I didn't know who else - Dad, I'm not your sponsor.
- It's just you don't understand how heartbreaking it is to see your child making mistakes.
Are you serious? Do you understand how manipulative that is? - Using this to threaten me? - I apologize Dad, your apologies mean nothing to me.
You understand me? You wanna drink? Fine, go drink.
But if you do, I will never forgive you.
- I will never forgive you.
- I don't wanna drink, all right? I don't wanna drink, that's why I called you.
- Let's go.
- Where? - I'm putting you in a cab.
- I know I am a bad father, I know you and I know you won't be able to live with yourself - if you don't do the right thing.
- Just get in the cab and go home.
You're too good a person.
- How did it go with your dad? - It was okay.
What are you thinking? - About what? - About this whole thing.
I wanna talk to you about it, but it feels like you're avoiding me.
I have been avoiding you.
- Why? - 'Cause I don't know what to say.
You can say whatever you want.
Hey I mean, I just wanna know what you're thinking.
I just keep thinking about about what you said.
About how this isn't gonna change anything.
And I'm trying to believe that.
But I don't know if I do.
I mean, I know you.
I know how you are.
And this choice that you've made, I just I don't know if you're going to be able to live with that.
Yeah, my dad said the same thing.
Did you get lucky? Did you? - No.
- Well, don't let me stand in your way.
Yeah, I think I think I was standing in your way.
I just wanna go out once in a while.
I just want you to like one of my ideas.
You know the shoes I was wearing tonight were really uncomfortable.
Really? Yeah.
Do you have anything for that? Have you ever heard of shoe covers? No.
What are those? They go over your sneakers.
Looks like you're wearing fancy shoes.
Fancy shoes Hmm.
That sounds like just what I need.
Why don't we go out tomorrow night? Can I wear my shoe covers? I'm so sorry.
Me too.
Noel? Noel.
- Hey.
- Hey, what are you doing here? Uh, nothing.
How'd things go with Adam? Good.
Good.
He's, um, a really great guy.
He called me after the party.
He felt terrible about what happened.
- Oh, yeah, it was a little awkward.
- I can believe it.
But, you know, who can blame him, right? - You doing all right? - Yeah.

Let's do it, let's call them and say yes.

What about Webb? Won't it be weird to work there? Yeah, you know, in the beginning.
I gotta talk to you about something.
Lauren's pregnant.
And it's mine.
- I don't know what to say.
- I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- Delicious.
- Good.
I can't tell you how amazing it is to have dinner with my son after all that's happened.
Yeah, it is.
It really is.
So what have you and Mom been up to? Nothing.
And that's just how we like it.
I don't even have to be back at work until next month, so she and I are just gonna kick back and try to enjoy life - as much as we can until then.
- That sounds great.
It is.
Oh, that reminds me, I, er, I saw Lauren yesterday and she says hi.
Oh.
Um, how is she? Are you ready? She's pregnant.
- Oh.
- You know.
She looks great, it's just she won't say who the father is.
- I guess he doesn't wanna be involved.
- Uh-huh.
It's incredible how self-absorbed people can be.
This guy thinks his problems are more important than anything else.
It's probably more complicated than that.
It's probably more complicated, but there's a kid involved.
- You want some dessert? - No, I'm all right.
- Mind if I have some? - Go ahead.
- I'll have yours.
It's so much fun being with you.
Yeah, it is.
* Can you become * * Can you become * * A new version of you? * * New wallpaper * * New shoe leather * * New way home * * I don't remember * * A new version of you * * I need a new version of me * * A new version of you * * I need a new version of me * - Hey.
- Do you wanna go for a walk? - Sure.
- Good.
Um, let me let me get my coat.
- So what are you thinking? - About what? This whole thing.
I guess I'm still a little Overwhelmed.
Yeah.
I had dinner with my dad.
I, er, I guess Lauren told him.
I mean, he doesn't know I'm the father.
No? Felicity, I'm telling you, it's gonna be okay.
I know.
You said that.
But it is.
It's gonna be okay.
Yeah, I know.
- What are you doing up? - I'm making a sandwich.
You want one? No.
What time is it? You're making a sandwich at 2:37 in the morning? I had this dream that I was stranded on a desert island and the only thing to eat was like, you know, sand and sticks potato bugs and so on.
And I woke up starving.
What are you doing up at this hour? I I just, I couldn't sleep.
- You wanna talk about it? - I don't know.
I just feel like I just feel like everything's changing.
I know this career thing is freaking you out, but you will find something.
You are.
You said that to me a hundred times last year.
You were right.
- I have an idea.
- Where are you going? - The course catalogue.
- My problem isn't finding classes.
It'll give us some ideas.
You just need to find something that might be a possibility and you dive in.
If it doesn't work, you move on to the next thing.
- Anthropology? - This is ridiculous.
I know nothing about anthropology.
- Architecture? - Architecture.
What do you think? - That could be interesting.
- For you, yeah, it'd be great.
You know, it it combines your art with your science background.
- That's true.
- I know a guy you can talk to about it.
- You do? - Yeah, his name is Adam.
Adam Davis.
He's a friend of mine, a grad student.
He called me last week.
He's working on this model for some contest.
The person who usually helps him can't.
You'd be great.
It would be really great to dive into something right now and just get my mind off everything.
- I can call him.
- Sure.
- Okay.
Good.
- What? - Nothing.
This just helped.
- You want a bite? - It does look really good.
Thank you.
Hey, let's go out tonight.
- You gotta take see this.
- Sean, did you hear what I said? - Yeah.
No, I can't tonight.
- Why not? All right, check this out.
I don't wanna check it out, I wanna go out.
- Shoe covers.
- We never do anything.
- Just look at it.
- I'm looking at it, I see it.
- Shoe covers.
- You said that.
It looks like you're wearing - a dress shoe but you're not.
- Why? Dress shoes are really uncomfortable.
- Okay, that's the dumbest idea ever.
- This is a great idea.
If people's shoes are uncomfortable, they buy other shoes.
People love shoes.
Mariah Carey alone has 500 pairs.
Would it kill you to support me just once in your life? - Would it kill you to go out? - What is your problem? - You are my problem.
- Right back at you.
Ben Covington.
I remember you.
An A in Organic Chemistry.
- Yeah.
- I got a B.
An A is better.
We just made this appointment to make sure we're doing everything we should be to get into med school.
Well, I don't see any volunteer work.
- Volunteer work? - Yes.
Helping people for no pay.
Basically what I do.
Every day.
- We haven't done any of that.
- But we can if it matters.
- It does.
- Let's Let's do it.
What can we do? Well, let's see - There's Big Brothers.
- What's that? You'd be a mentor to young boys.
A father figure, if you will.
Mr.
Norman, is this important? Do med schools look at this type of thing? Yes.
All right, then, we'll be Big Brothers.
- Zoe.
- Yeah? - Is this weird? - What? This.
This You know, the way we just keep passing each other in the halls.
I know, it's weird.
I just I feel like I don't really know how to act around you, so I've just been avoiding you.
Me too, but I've been thinking and I don't think it has to be like that.
This is our job.
You know, we should just be professional.
- Professional? - Yeah.
- And you're okay with that? - I'm great with it.
Okay, 'cause, er my dad's gonna be out of town the next two weeks and he put me in charge of the CGG account.
- Mm-hm.
Okay.
- See, now this is weird again.
No, this is not weird.
- I didn't say anything, it's too weird.
- It's not weird.
That's your job, that's what we're here to do.
- We're professionals.
- Right.
Uh, a couple of my friends are throwing a party tomorrow night I don't know, maybe you wanna go with me? - Yeah, that'd be great.
- Okay, good.
Well, then we should definitely get back to our jobs.
Yes.
Be professional.
Professional.
Excuse me, I'm looking for someone named Adam.
- Oh, yeah, he's right over there.
- Okay, thanks.
Don't hang up, just give me five minutes.
One minute? Dina? Hello? Uh, Adam? Hi, I'm sorry to bother you.
I'm Felicity, Noel Crane's friend.
Oh, yeah.
Uh, he called about you.
- Is now a bad time? - No, no, no, now's good.
Um, I don't know how much Noel has told you, uh, about me, but I'm, um, sort of searching for a career path and we were talking, and I thought this sounded interesting.
- Can I ask you something? - Yes.
Sure.
Say you're dating someone.
Uh, she says she's in love with you and then one day, bam she wants to break up.
Yes or no, she's dating someone else? - I I don't know.
- It's the only thing that makes sense.
You know, I, I'm not really sure.
Noel mentioned that you might need help working on a model.
Yeah.
Uh Dina used to help me with that.
- Maybe Maybe I could help.
- Really? 'Cause that'd that'd be incredible.
- This thing's due this week.
- You have to show me what to do.
Definitely.
Um - Dina used to help me.
- Yeah, you mentioned that.
Dad, sorry, I thought the game was tomorrow.
Oh, that's no problem.
So we're a few minutes late, big deal.
Oh, listen, after the game I'd like to stop by Lauren's, all right? - Why? - Well, I got her some books on what to expect when you're expecting.
If this guy won't help her, I will.
- I have to talk to you about something.
- Sure.
You wanna make it quick so we get to see some of the first quarter, please! - It's about Lauren.
- Yeah? - Dad, I know who the father is.
- Who? It's me, Dad.
What are you talking about? We slept together when Felicity and I were broken up.
I know you think it's selfish - I said that, Ben, because I assumed - It's okay.
It's okay.
The thing is, I didn't find out until last week.
She waited four months to tell me, Dad.
I'm so sorry.
Maybe you're right.
I just don't know what I'm supposed to do.
Drop out of school and get a job? - I wanna be a doctor.
- I know you do.
I'm not ready for this.
You were right, it is complicated.
Yeah, it is.
What's going on.
I called you a bunch of times.
No one picked up.
I thought you were coming to my place? No, I know, I just have to work on this model.
- Well, how's it going? - I don't know, because the guy was so involved in his love life, he barely explained anything.
- How was the game? - Oh, we didn't go.
But I did tell him about Lauren.
- What did he say? - Nothing.
He just Just kinda listened, like a dad.
- That's good.
- Yeah.
So do you wanna come over to my place later? Um You know, I feel like I better work on this.
Is everything all right? Yeah.
I wanna get this done.
Are you sure? 'Cause you seem kind of upset.
I'm I'm okay.
I'm fine.
Okay.
You can show me Hello.
How's everybody doing? - Hi, I'm Noel.
- Hi, I'm Jessica.
- You just started last week, right? - I did, yeah.
My desk is two down from yours.
- Okay, uh, can we get started? Noel? - Sure.
- Could you update us on CGG Corps? - Right.
Uh, do I stand? - Standing would be good.
- Okay.
Sean and I have been working on an idea for a CGG mail-order catalogue.
- Excuse me? - A mail-order catalogue.
Did I miss something? I don't remember the company asking for a catalogue.
- They didn't, but we thought - So I don't understand.
We thought it might be a good idea for CGG - To waste money? - No.
Maybe you should look at our ideas.
- I don't need to.
- You do.
We have a whole I've heard enough.
Thanks.
Um, why don't we move this along? Kim? - So you're gonna talk to Zoe, right? - Yes.
You'd tell me if you were sleeping together? Sean, we're friends.
There's a lot of tension between you.
- I'm gonna talk to her.
Good, 'cause the last thing we need is for her to make our work life hell.
I get enough of that at home.
What d'you mean? I'm married to somebody who hates all of my ideas.
- Meghan hates everything.
- But this last idea was incredible.
- It's shoe covers.
- What's a shoe cover? They slip over your shoe so they look like dress shoes, There's no chafing, but you're wearing your sneakers.
no blistering.
It's just comfort all day long.
- Call 'em "shoe jackets".
- What? - Shoe jackets.
- I like that.
It's a good idea.
Shoe jackets, huh? You really You think that's a good idea? I'd buy them.
There you go.
A couple of friends of ours are having a party tonight, at UNY.
Sprows Hall.
You should come.
I could show you the prototype for shoe jackets.
- Sounds fun.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- Okay, I'll see you there.
I'm Sean.
- Clancy.
- Clancy.
Thanks, Clancy.
- What are you doing? You're married.
- That was for you.
She's really cute.
That was for me? That wasn't for me.
- I thought I made that pretty obvious.
- No.
Uh, and palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too? Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do.
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.
Scene.
- Good scene.
- Yeah, if you like saccharine schmaltz.

- I wasn't sure if it was exactly right.
- Will you call someone for me? - What? - I called Dina and some guy answered.
- Do you think she's seeing him? - I still don't know.
- If the guy answers, ask for Dina.
- I Uh, hello.
Is Dina there? - It was him, wasn't it? - Yeah.
- Oh, I can't believe this.
- Hello Hi, Dina, it's me.
Who's the guy? Hello? She hung up.
- Maybe you should look at this - I don't get it.
We were perfect for each other.
I guess sometimes, things just don't work out the way you think they're going to.
Yeah.
- Sometimes love sucks.
- I know, doesn't it? Yeah.
Oh, my God.
What happened? - Is something wrong? - Yeah, this is, uh, this is all wrong.

- Hi.
Nice to see you're working hard.
I'm, um, I'm doing this Big Brother thing.
Really? That is great.
Yeah, I'm meeting him today.
I have to leave pretty soon.
Before you go, I need to speak to you.
I've been thinking - about what we talked about last night.
- Yeah.
Ben, I know you're in an incredibly difficult position and I feel terrible about it.
What, Dad? I think you're making a mistake and I don't want you to do something you're going to regret.
- Dad - I know it's complicated.
No, it's simple.
She decided to have a kid and I didn't.
But that child's going to need a father.
- Are you serious? - I've been through it.
Well, you're the last person I wanna listen to about this.
Look, Ben, I know I wasn't the perfect father No, you weren't a father.
Well, I'm trying to be one right now.
Well, it's a little late.
I gotta go.
Hey, can I talk to you? - Sure.
What's up? - That's what I was gonna ask you.
Nothing, I'm just getting ready for a presentation.
No, I was talking about yesterday.
What was that? Oh Yeah, I know, I'm sorry, that was that was awkward.
I thought we were gonna be professional.
- We were.
- No, you were insulting.
If you're uncomfortable with our relationship, we can talk, - but don't take it out on me like that.
- I wasn't.
- I just didn't like some of your ideas.
- You haven't even heard them.
Listen, Noel, I know it's hard working below me, but Zoe, below you.
.
come on.
If it wasn't for me, you guys wouldn't even have this account.
Look, I really need to finish this presentation, okay? Fine.
But you should, uh, you should really look at our ideas.
They're really good.
- Is that it? - That's it.
Oh, my God, it's four in the morning.
- Sorry.
- No, no, it's, uh It's nice to have a distraction.
Yeah, for me too.
So, what are you trying to escape? I don't know, I guess just my life is kind of intense right now.
Should I not ask? No.
Hmm No.
Wait, but this was really good.
This was fun to do.
- You're good at it.
- Come on.
There's no way I would've finished this without you.
That residual space idea - I don't know what that is.
- The space between buildings.
Oh, that.
Yeah, um, that wasn't really an idea.
Yeah, it is.
I'm just saying you said you were searching for something and maybe this is it.
Maybe.
Look, I wanna take you to dinner tonight, to say thanks.
You know, uh, tonight I'm I can't.

- Oh, thanks.
Are you gonna hang out in the bathroom all night or can we dance? - We could both hang out in here.

- Yeah, probably.
Way too high.
- 50 percent tops.

I don't think so.
I look all right? What? I'm kidding.
- Oh, my God, she's here.
- What? I'll see you later, man.

- Isn't it way past your bedtime? Uh, no, looks like I'll be staying out late tonight.
Very late.
I just want you to know I'm totally into the open marriage thing.
Can you excuse me? Hi.
I'm Meghan.
- Clancy.
- She runs the coffee cart outside work.
How cute.
Sean's my husband.
So, you guys have a good time.
Oh, I forgot to mention, Rocco kissed me today in theater class.
On the lips.
- You're her husband? - She's a little She doesn't know what she's talking about.
I'll be right back.
Hey Newsflash: Clancy loves the shoe cover idea.
- Newsflash: She's an idiot.
- Newsflash: I'm doing it.
Newsflash: It'll be as successful as all your other ideas.
Oh, and this just in: Rocco invited me to see his band tonight.
- Newsflash: I don't care.
- You should.
Why? You wanna be with Rocco? At least he doesn't make me feel like a grandma.
- Okay, fine, be with Rocco.
- Fine, I will.
Go be with your little coffee girl.
- Now that's a great idea.
- At least one of us has good ideas.
Hi.
Hey.
Adam.
Hey.
- How's it going? - Good.
- I didn't realize there'd be so many people.
- Yeah.
Neither did I.
Are you okay? - Yeah.
I I'm fine.
- Hey, uh - Guess what? - What? - I submitted our model.
- You did? Great.
Yeah, except I saw the other entries.
- We don't have a chance.
- You're gonna be fine.
No, not really.
Are you sure you're okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
- Do you wanna get a drink? Yes, I do.
Let's go.
So I looked at your ideas for the catalogue.
You were right.
They were good.
Thank you.
Noel I'm sorry.
We said we were gonna be professional, but I wasn't.
Hey, that's okay.
When I saw you across the room from me, I don't know I couldn't help it.
What are you talking about? The meeting.
There was a seat right next to me and you sat next to Jessica.
- Who is Jessica? - The girl you were sitting next to.
Wait, this whole thing's about me sitting next to Jessica? I know.
It's stupid.
I like you.
I don't know, I saw you sitting next to her and I don't know.
You know the only reason I didn't sit next to you was because I was nervous.
- About what? - About being near you.
Why? What did you think would happen? I don't know.
Maybe this.
That wasn't very professional.
Is that a problem? Yeah.
So what happened with you and Dina? Did it ever work out? No, she never called me back.
Sorry.
I've been doing everything I can not to call her.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What about you? I mean, what happened with your stuff? - Is it any better? - No.
- Well, you know what I think? - What? - I think you're great.
- Thank you.
Adam what are you doing? - I'm not sure.
- Adam, I have a boyfriend.
Oh, God.
Really? - Yes, and this isn't a good time for me.
- I know.
I'm sorry.
- I'm gonna go.
- Okay.
Thanks for the party.
It was really fun.
Wait here.
- This is unbelievable.
- I didn't know who else - Dad, I'm not your sponsor.
- It's just you don't understand how heartbreaking it is to see your child making mistakes.
Are you serious? Do you understand how manipulative that is? - Using this to threaten me? - I apologize Dad, your apologies mean nothing to me.
You understand me? You wanna drink? Fine, go drink.
But if you do, I will never forgive you.
- I will never forgive you.
- I don't wanna drink, all right? I don't wanna drink, that's why I called you.
- Let's go.
- Where? - I'm putting you in a cab.
- I know I am a bad father, I know you and I know you won't be able to live with yourself - if you don't do the right thing.
- Just get in the cab and go home.
You're too good a person.
- How did it go with your dad? - It was okay.
What are you thinking? - About what? - About this whole thing.
I wanna talk to you about it, but it feels like you're avoiding me.
I have been avoiding you.
- Why? - 'Cause I don't know what to say.
You can say whatever you want.
Hey I mean, I just wanna know what you're thinking.
I just keep thinking about about what you said.
About how this isn't gonna change anything.
And I'm trying to believe that.
But I don't know if I do.
I mean, I know you.
I know how you are.
And this choice that you've made, I just I don't know if you're going to be able to live with that.
Yeah, my dad said the same thing.
Did you get lucky? Did you? - No.
- Well, don't let me stand in your way.
Yeah, I think I think I was standing in your way.
I just wanna go out once in a while.
I just want you to like one of my ideas.
You know the shoes I was wearing tonight were really uncomfortable.
Really? Yeah.
Do you have anything for that? Have you ever heard of shoe covers? No.
What are those? They go over your sneakers.
Looks like you're wearing fancy shoes.
Fancy shoes Hmm.
That sounds like just what I need.
Why don't we go out tomorrow night? Can I wear my shoe covers? I'm so sorry.
Me too.
Noel? Noel.
- Hey.
- Hey, what are you doing here? Uh, nothing.
How'd things go with Adam? Good.
Good.
He's, um, a really great guy.

- I can believe it.
But, you know, who can blame him, right? - You doing all right? - Yeah.
