Europe agrees with you.
Thank you.
Traveling was the best thing I've ever done.
It opened up my mind, made me look at things differently.

- Hello.
Stuart, I was so continental.
I ate a snail.
Oh! I threw it up later, but it still counts.
Okay, so you liked Europe, you hawked up a snail.

(all) Ooh.
Everyone, I'd like you to meet Sophie.
Bonjour.
Sophie and I met on Santorini.
We didn't want to say good-bye.
And I thought I was being adventurous wearing shorts to The Vatican.
[upbeat music.]
Hey, there she is, the world traveler.
Have a seat and tell us about the trip.
Greece was amazing.
I have never seen water that blue.
It's bluer than toilet water when you throw in that cleaning pellet.
[chuckles.]
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, it's blue.
So tell us about you and the French pastry.
I know, I'm with a woman.
Crazy, right? [laughter.]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, crazy.
Spill.
Okay, so there I was on the beach in Santorini in this little taverna.
The music was playing.
The ouzo was flowing, and the next thing you know, I'm dancing with this beautiful woman.
And? And then to my surprise, I'm making out with her.
And? And then the next thing you know, we're in bed together.
And? And that's all the "ands" you're gonna get.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to pry.
It's just, this is all new to us.
Eden and I have never been with a woman, so Well, speak for yourself.
What? I've had a few ladies visit the garden of Eden.
Wait, so I'm the only woman here who's never been with another woman Oh, my God, I'm a 40-year-old her-gin.
Come on, sweetie, I'll buy you a drink which is how the last visit to my garden started.
[laughs.]
Hey, Stuart, sit down.
We didn't have a chance to catch up at the party.
Well, as host, I had my duties Circulating the hors d'oeuvres, refilling the drinks Avoiding me and Sophie.
That's not true.
Admit it, Stuart You were rattled.
You were serving red wine in white-wine glasses.
Of course I was rattled.
It it's just most people come back from Europe with an Eiffel Tower snow globe.
You came back with a Sophie.
All I can tell you is, both a lot of fun when you turn them upside down.
So should I glean from this that you're into women now? No.
No, I'm into Sophie.
She's spontaneous, exciting, loves life.
Anyway, why do you got to label what I am? No, I'm happy.
Isn't that all that matters? Of course, of course.
- Okay.
- Okay.
But you're a happy what? Okay, you want to know what I am? I'm a Nicki-doesn't-have-to- explain-herself-to-you-sexual.
What parade do I march in for that? Really, Beth, you too? So every girl in our dorm did it with a woman except me? Even Sally Tuttle with the built-up shoe? [knock at door.]
Okay, I got to go.
Let's check in again in 20 years.

Hey, uh, I got to talk to you about something.
No can do.
Game's about to start.
It's just about women being with other women.
You know, I could always check the highlights.
Oh, okay, you see, ever since Nicki came back with Sophie, I've been thinking about my own life experiences I hear "girl on girl" is in the air.
[laughs.]
Really? - We have an agreement.
- Yeah.
All right, all right.
It's just that I've never been with another woman, you know, so I'm starting to feel like maybe I've missed out.
Trust me, you have.
Here's the thing.
I just I'm starting to feel like maybe I should give it a try, you know, try the ladies' side of the menu.
I say go for it, man.
Get out your comfort zone.
Yeah, take a walk on the wild side.
- Embrace it all.
- Mm.
So have you guys experimented with other men? - No way.
- Not gonna happen.
What'd you look at me for when you said that? I wasn't looking at you.
Well, let me tell you something, pretty boy.
You couldn't handle this.
[snapping fingers.]
I would rock your world.
Hey, Eden.
What you eating? Oh, Reese's Spreads.
I'm obsessed.
I'm putting it on pretzels, crackers, apples.
It's even good on spoon.
Could I have some? You get your own.
What's up, Stuart? Oh, I'm I'm meeting Sophie here to get to know her better.
I just hope I don't say the wrong thing.
I already alienated Nicki by trying to put a label on her sexuality.
Yeah, nothing pisses off a flexisexual more than a label.
She she's a flexisexual? That's No, no, no, no labels.
Mm-mm.
I love my sister, and I'm gonna support her, no matter what kind of relationship she's in.
Wow.
You're a good man, Stuart.
Every polyamorous, bi-curious, sexually fluid woman should have a metrosexual, vagitarian brother like you.
Thank you for meeting me, Stuart.
Oh, of course.
It's about time I got to know my sister's Uh, what? What should I call you Partner, girlfriend, lady lover? How about Sophie? Ah, I like it.

You are so funny.
Nicki said you had a stick up y It's not important.
You know, Sophie, I'm really glad we got together and not just because of this incredible wine.
Yes, it's getting a lot of attention.

I think I'm gonna break up with her.
What? Yeah, I mean, in Greece, it was perfect.
It was romantic and new, but now that I've been back in the city a few days, the magic has kind of worn off.
So what are you saying? You're not gay in New York? Okay, would you stop with the labels? I mean, she's such a wonderful person.
I don't want to lead her on.
I thi I'm gonna tell her tonight.
Tonight? As in the night before tomorrow night? How could you do this to me her? Look, you need to give it some time.
- How much time? - 48 hours.
Okay, where'd you pluck that number from? You just flew all the way from Greece, and your emotions are jet-lagged.
They need at least a couple of days to get their bearings.
Mm.

There you go.
You see? There you go.
All right, I'll tell you what Why don't you and Sophie come over tonight for dinner? And you know, we'll just hang out, relax, no pressure.

I hope you didn't go to too much trouble.
No trouble at all.
No trouble? There's a frickin' boat in here.
It reminds me of Greece.

I was afraid you wouldn't get it.
Yes, Greece, where the god Eros first smiled upon you two.
Zorbatinis? Yes, I'll take one.
Question is, how many have you had? [chuckles.]
And, please, try the spanakopita.

And what's that I hear? Ocean waves crashing on the beach? [crashing waves playing on recording.]
Excuse me, Zorba, can I talk to you in the kitchen, please? Okay.
Sophie, make yourself at home.
What are you doing? Oh, I'm doing a nice calamari in a white-wine sauce, followed by a light moussaka.
No, I'm talking about the lost city of Atlantis you got going out there.
I'm I'm just trying to create a mood and remind you of why you fell in love with that beautiful woman in the first place.
Why? Why is it so important to you? Why? Why? Because you're my sister and I want you to be happy, and if that's a crime, then lock me up and throw away the key! Believe me, I'm tempted.
Just dial it down, okay? - Okay, okay, all right.
- All right.
We're back.
Maybe we should turn down the ocean a bit.
Thank you, Stuart.
So we can turn up the music.
