Everybody wants to live Like they wanna live And everybody wants to love Like they wanna love And everybody wants to be Closer to free Closer to free There was somebody famous in my group therapy.

So.
So.
You know what? Um, we ch-changed the typeface on the front of the menu.
Really? Yeah.
To what? Uh, it's some kind of Script thing.
I don't know.
Is this conversation as dumb as it sounds? I just I don't know if I should ask you about stuff that went on there, or if you want to talk about that? Not yet.
It it's just I want to take things slow.
Right now.
But, um You could kiss me.
Yeah? 'Cause I'd like that.
God I missed this.
I missed you.
Me, too.
Daphne: You have to.
You have to do this.
All I said I'd do is paint sets.
Do you not understand? We go up in 2 days, and I just lost my lead.
I'm sorry, Daphne.
I'm doing smurfs on ice.
I'm papa smurf.
You should have had an understudy.
I'm an optimist, Charlie.
Come on! You know the play.
I know you know it.
I'm doing all this job stuff now.
I have to focus on that.
I don't have time to rehearse.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Tap-dancing for some heads of personnel.
Boy, that's fun.
That's how to live it up.
Daphne.
Great.
Then I'll just I'll just call the foundation and tell them that we won't be contributing anything because we had to cancel, because our Henry Higgins is skating around the cow palace in a royal blue onesie.
You don't have anybody else? I mean, maybe somebody that's done this before, one of the guys in the chorus? Why Would I settle for a cubic zirconium When there is a big, shiny, sexy diamond standing right in front of me? Man, is it snowing in here, or what? Please? Pleeease? No, that sounds good.
Just make sure that "walk to the beach" isn't, like, 18 miles or uphill or anything.
Ok, good.
Let me know.
Bye.
Who was that? Dana.
We're thinking about getting a beach house this summer.
Dana and me and Janet and other Janet.
Santa Cruz maybe.
You know, hang out.
Get some waitressing jobs.
I can use you as a reference, right? Would you be gone all summer? Maybe.
You know, if we decide to do it, then, yeah.
Huh.
That'd be weird.
Not having you around here.
Have you seen my blue tie, the one with the little squares all over it? Thank you.
Well, you'll probably be too busy to even notice.
I mean, you and Annie are obviously I don't know what Annie and I are.
Or aren't.
I mean, everything I thought of to say to her was like, what land mine is this gonna set off? It was weird, because one second she was saying how she wanted to take everything slow, and the next minute we're ripping each other's clothes off.
It's like we jumped into bed so we wouldn't have to talk.
You know? I'll take your word for it.
I've been reading the same page over and over for the last half hour.
Uh-huh.
Listen, uh, I'm gonna get out of here for a few days.
What? This friend of mine, lonny, from the merchant marines, he's got a little cabin outside of taos.
Wait.
Taos? Why are you Because Every time I walk back in this place, it gets smaller.
Every time I go inside, your family, they just give me the evil eye.
No, they don't.
You don't have to I'm leaving Friday, all right? The airline's running some special weekend deal.
I wish you wouldn't do this.
I mean, I know that things feel messy right now, but if you stay, Griffin, if you just hang in there, and we keep working on this, then Please don't run away.
I'm not running away.
I just i need like, or blaming or feeling this Whatever it is.
I i need to get out of here.
Ok.
Ok, so then what if we go together? Someplace.
Anyplace.
You pick.
Julia No, you're right.
You're completely right.
It would be good for us to get away.
You don't get I need time away from you.
A, b, c, d Stop! Listen to this, pickering.
This poor, unfortunate animal has been locked up for Uh, line.
"9 years.
" For 9 years in In school at our expense to learn to speak and read the language of, uh Line.
"Shakespeare and Milton.
" Right.
Well, Charlie, I hope you're better at your job interview than you are with these speeches.
Hey, I think I'm doing ok, considering.
Give me a break.
Man, if anybody ever told me that you would end up in a musical with Like, this complete lunatic from, like, the planet Zork Not in a million years.
That's what happens.
Meet one person, and it changes your whole life like that.
Man, I haven't worn these things in months.
They're all scuffed.
Here, gimme.
There's, uh, there's Polish downstairs.
I'll miss you.
You, too.
Um, ok, fine, we could, uh We could have a movie marathon all weekend.
How about that? No.
I know.
I know.
I know.
We'll go to, uh, people's park, and we'll catch squirrels, and we'll train them as our pets.
How's that, huh? See? You like that, huh? Or we could, uh, we could teach them to be our little rodent helpers.
When did you get back? Couple days ago.
Oh.
No one said.
Really? I thought i No.
No.
No, you didn't.
So so she tell you what's going on with us? You know, I hear that they have, uh, some really nice art galleries up in taos.
I don't know if I'm going anymore.
I don't think right now would be the best time.
It is so nothing compared to what you did for me and Natalie.
I actually feel a little silly.
No, it's sweet.
Bailey, look what Annie made me.
Yeah, I know.
I got a lanyard.
Which meeting are you going to tonight? up from school after.
Huh.
1:30.
Well, maybe if I can get the chicken guy to come a half hour early, I can swing by after and get you.
If I had his number here, I'd give him a call.
Um Or No.
Actually, we could just we'll catch up later on tonight, depending on No, no.
Tonight's good.
Can we do dinner? Yeah, dinner.
Yeah, i I'll bring by some Um You know, we'll figure it out later.
Ok.
So I gotta get going.
I'll see you later.
Bye.
Yikes.
Somebody should definitely switch to decaf.
He's terrified You know, of, uh, of doing the wrong thing or saying the wrong thing.
And it's not just him.
It's me, too.
I'm scared, too, 'cause it would be so easy to You know, I'm sorry.
Is this awkward for me to be talking about this to you? No.
It's, uh No.
Ugh.
This is so hard.
You know, if only we could stay in bed all the time.
You know what? We'd be fine.
We would be perfect, because there, we're like Uh-huh.
And when we're Well, it's not like he's just doing for me.
It's it's mutual.
Wow.
Ahem.
You know what? It really helps to talk to you.
Here.
Don't forget this.
Look Justin, you don't have to you don't have to baby-sit me all day.
You can go home.
I'm not depressed or anything.
You sure? 'Cause I'd be.
I mean, I can't believe what a jerk he was to you before.
Actually, no, that's not true.
I can believe it.
Ok, for the last time, that doesn't help me.
You saying stuff like that doesn't help me.
I'm trying to save my marriage, Justin.
I don't need Why? Why are you trying to save it? I told you already.
I still love him.
I'm not ready to give up yet.
God.
I don't want to be 19 and have to check "divorced" when I'm filling out a form for a credit card or or a driver's license renewal.
Yeah, kind of messes up your permanent record, right? Something like that.
That's so you.
"I can't fail my road test.
" "I can't fail my midterms.
" "I can't fail my marriage.
" Well, it's true.
If I If we split up, no matter what I do for the rest of my life, I'm gonna have that.
I'm gonna have that mark against me.
I would have an ex-husband.
I'd be an ex-wife.
Yeah, well, so what? You know, people fail things, Julia.
People make mistakes.
It happens.
Nobody's gonna judge you for it.
Nobody that you love is gonna love you any less.
You know, you spend a hell of a lot of time trying to prove to everybody that you and Griffin aren't a mistake.
No, I don't.
Yeah, you do.
Look If you're gonna stay with him, just do me a favor.
Make sure it's for a good reason and not because you think it looks bad to leave.
Charlie.
Hey, man.
Joe already signed these.
They're the transfer documents for the liquor license.
So, whenever you get a chance.
As soon as we're done here.
Cool.
What is this guy Brian, a gorilla? Oh, the hell with him.
You're my 'enry 'iggins now, lovey.
Hey.
How'd the interview go, Charlie? Oh, right.
I forgot about that.
Daphne: So? Um, it's an interesting place.
I might go back there next week.
We'll see.
You know what I hate? When you go into some offices and you look at those chairs with those butt imprints on them.
It's, like, 10, 20 years of sitting, sitting, sitting.
God, I know.
It's to be avoided at all costs.
Right, 'cause it's not like he has a family to support or bills to pay or anything.
Well, I've got a hot date with the sewing machine.
Oh, and we changed rehearsal to, um, 2:30, ok? Later.
Bye.
Julia, you have something to say? Not particularly, no.
Yeah? 'Cause you were kind of pissy with Daphne just now.
Well, does she have a say in your life now? I mean, that's who you're going to for career advice, someone whose main source of income is taking their clothes off? Excuse me.
She happens to be my friend.
Well, is she more than a friend? Heh.
What if she is? Do you have a problem with that? Julia, come on.
So what if she's a little Wacky.
There's there's a lot of people, it's not obvious why they're together, but they make it work.
Wacky? No.
No, you're wrong.
'Cause if it's not obvious why 2 people are together, bay, like you said, and pretty much everybody thinks it's wrong that they're together, and you have this voice that you keep trying to drown out, but it's saying the same thing, too, you know what? Maybe you are wrong for each other.
I think I'm allergic to your aftershave.
Really? I'm sorry.
No.
No, no, it's ok.
It's it's good, actually.
At least we're talking.
You're right.
It is good.
So What were you thinking just now? Actually, I was thinking that the thing that you did before with your tongue in my ear Yeah? I kind of didn't like that.
It made me feel like I should go get a q-tip or something.
All right.
All right.
I i That was honest.
I can accept that.
One other thing, besides that aftershave I was I was thinking, um, I'm surprised that you're here.
With me.
Now.
I Well, i you know, I didn't necessarily expect that you would be here for me when I got back.
Really? You really thought that? Bailey, you did leave before.
Well, yeah, I did, but but When you look at it now, it's like I did you a favor.
Well, how do you figure that? Well, I mean I left, and you got help.
It's like you waited until I was out of here and then Wait.
I got help when I could face that I really needed it.
I mean, isn't that what you wanted? O-ok.
Ok, fine.
Oh.
You know what? I see.
What? Are you mad 'cause I didn't let you rescue me? No.
No.
Is that it? That's not it.
I'm not mad.
I'm I'm I'm not mad at you.
Look This was a bad idea.
Let's just What? What, another roll in the hay? We can keep our mouths busy so we don't have to say anything? No, that is not Look Maybe I should go.
Why don't you? We have therapy in the morning.
At 11:00, I think.
Since you're not going away.
Uh-uh.
I'll pass.
You're not gonna come? That's what I said.
We can't get our money back for the appointment.
It's too late.
Yeah.
Whatever.
Griffin, do do you care about this relationship or not? 'Cause every day that goes by that you're like this, cold and and distant like you are now, it's only gonna make it harder to ever be ok again.
I mean, you know that, right? Is that your theory or Justin's? What? You just had to go tell him, huh? You just had to run and tell him everything.
He's one of my best friends.
What was I supposed to do, lie? Man, just the idea of this smart-ass guy that you slept with knowing what's going on with us And having an opinion about it.
I hate that.
What is this? Everything is a fight all the time My friend.
Your trip.
Do we go to therapy? Don't we go to therapy? I mean, we can't have one conversation without it turning into an argument.
Why is that? Why is that, Griffin? I don't know.
Why don't you go ask Justin? I'm going to sleep.
I've got it bad For a girl who doesn't talk so good She fills my soul with her yammering, stammering My heart is clamoring 'E thinks I'm low She doesn't know Pitiful and slow No, no, no Common as the dirt that is under 'is shoe Oh, but how can you think that I think that of you? Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Can we stop? What's the matter? It was going great.
It doesn't make sense.
The song doesn't make sense.
Sure it does.
How come he can hear what she's saying, and she can't hear what he is? It's a song, Charlie.
It doesn't have to be logical.
Well, I don't get it.
Ok, you're just nervous, which is ok.
It's ok.
I mean, god, I remember the night before my first bachelor party, I threw up, like, 6 times.
Which is great, actually, 'cause I looked really skinny in my g-string.
I didn't say that I was nervous.
Ok.
Fine.
You're not nervous.
Can we keep going then? No.
No, 'cause it would be this giant help if I knew what we were singing about.
You are singing about a man who is such a pain in the ass that when he's with the woman that he loves, he acts like such a jerk that she thinks he hates her.
Yeah.
Like those 2 people are ever gonna end up together.
Well, honey, that's kind of the point of the entire play.
So either you buy it or you don't.
Can we take it from the top, please? Do you like it? Yes.
You look very pretty.
You have a dress this color.
Yes, I do.
Go try on the other one.
She insisted that you come with us, so there's no getting around it.
You now have a little sister.
Well, I've always wanted one.
Um Did he say anything to you, uh, about last night? He Bailey? No.
You know, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't.
It's not junior high school.
Never mind.
Did something Did something happen? Well, we're in bed, needless to say, and we try, you know, we attempt to have a conversation that's more than just, "ooh, ooh, yes, right there.
" You know? And then, 2 seconds later, we are having this insane fight, and he's leaving.
God.
You know, and on top of that, he tells me that he doesn't like this thing I do with my tongue.
Oh, you know what? I'm gonna see if they have this in long sleeves.
I need you to get the hell out of our lives, all right? You need to butt out, 'cause, uh, you don't have a vote with us, all right? You don't have a vote on whether Julia and I get to stay together or not.
Mmm.
You love this, don't you? You love that we're having problems.
Now you get to be the big supportive friend.
"Don't worry, Julia.
I'll take care of you.
" You're just waiting for your chance to get back with her.
Excuse me, but none of this would be going on if you hadn't gone and done it with someone else.
Hey.
"Hey"? You know, Julia's walking around like this is her fault.
You go and you You sleep with some bimbo, and your wife is feeling guilty.
How'd you manage that, huh? Did she tell you this, or is this your personal interpretation? Why don't you tell me one thing that you have done to deserve her? What? What does she get from you? I mean, what do What do you give her? Loyalty? No.
Support? No.
Intellectual stimulation Shut up! You know, she is sad all the time.
You know what the one thing you could do for her is? The biggest favor you could give her Is go on your trip and don't come back.
Oh.
Hey.
Hi.
Charlie forgot these.
Is he around anywhere? Uh, he took a walk.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh, I bet he's got stage fright.
Hmm.
Probably.
Is your boyfriend here? Oh, yeah.
He's saving us seats.
He's a cutie.
Yeah.
A little intense, but Yeah.
Well, I think you guys are really sweet together.
Thanks.
Thanks.
You know, so are you and Charlie.
I know not everybody gets it, 'cause he's so him, and well, you're so You, and it's just not like you're exactly the girl next door, but hey, I'm rooting for you.
I should, um, ahem, finish getting ready.
All right.
Well, good luck.
You're not supposed to say that to an actor.
Sorry.
Too late.
Put out the lights, Eliza, and tell Mrs.
pearce not to make me coffee in the morning.
I'll take tea.
What the devil have I done with my slippers? Here are your slippers! And there, take your slippers, and may you never have a day's luck with them! What on earth? What did you throw those slippers at me for? Because I wanted to smash your face! What's the matter? Jamie, we're not at the movies.
Where you picked me out of, in the gutter?! You thank god that it's all over and you can just throw me back again there, do you? Are you finding this really sad? You mean Charlie's acting? Nice shot with the slippers.
You taught me how to speak You taught me how to feel I owe My life My love, my life I owe my life to you What are you so pissed off about? You don't think Henry and Eliza should be together.
Charlie, who are you talking about? Change the names.
What, you mean us? Probably you think, "hey, when I'm done, I'll just toss her and move on.
" Would you stop putting words in my mouth? Talk about typecast! Did she remind you of anyone That character, the girl? Like Annie maybe? No.
Huh.
'Cause she had that whole Tough-yet-vulnerable thing, you know, like her life was really hard, but she didn't let it ruin her.
Kind of reminded me of Annie.
Bailey, your socks remind you of Annie.
Well, yeah, that's because she got me these.
You know what? That's it, ok? What what are you doing? You're driving me crazy.
That's what I'm doing.
Wait a second.
Sarah.
Sarah, why are we hey.
You know, when you asked me if I minded you talking to me about him, well, I lied.
I mind.
And you, you are obsessed with her.
And you're obsessed with him, so you know what? Talk to each other, ok, and if that doesn't work, try again.
And if that doesn't work, then get over it, because I resign.
I'm done, and I'm not gonna be in the middle anymore.
Hmm.
Wow.
His stuff is gone.
He must have gone.
It feels weird.
It feels bad coming home to an empty house.
Except it feels empty even when he's here.
Well, I guess you gotta Decide which feels less bad.
I have to leave him, don't I? I, uh I kind of think you do.
That wedding Charlie made for us.
We we renewed our vows in front of everybody.
How did this happen so fast? I don't know.
Stuff happens.
I don't know how to do this.
How do you stop being married? You, uh You know, I think it probably doesn't hurt forever.
You'll help me? Yeah.
Of course I will.
You won't think I'm a loser? No.
Never.
I couldn't think you're a loser.
I meant them, you know My vows, when I said them.
Hey, how you doing, eh? Give us a bottle of champagne, the best you got.
Hey, you.
Quit hogging the pretzels.
They're all yours.
Come on, grab a glass.
Toast with us here.
I can't do that.
Thanks.
Come on.
You, too.
Want some? Pour him a glass.
Sure.
What the hell? My flight's delayed anyway.
Damn fog.
So what are we toasting? Well, Pam and me, we got married 2 weeks ago.
Yeah, and we're just coming back from Hawaii.
Yeah.
No kidding.
Well, here's to you, babe.
Mmm.
To you, baby.
Good luck.
I give it a year.
W-what'd you say? I said I give it a year until she gets sick of you.
Hey.
Andy, please.
No, no, no.
Whoa, whoa.
Do you love him? Do you love him? Yeah, you love him until he, uh Messes up a couple of times or blows some bucks, doesn't live up to your damn expectations.
You know what? Why don't you get out of here, huh? Hey, come on.
Tell the truth there, miss Big hair.
Oh, excuse me, Mrs.
You know it, and I know it.
As soon as this jerk messes up once, you're gonna dump him in a second.
Hey! Andy, stop it! No! Andy, please! What's the matter with you, man? Get off.
Aah! Aah! You're an idiot, you know that? You're a real idiot.
You want to tell me what this was about? No.
You want me to, uh I got it.
Morning.
Hi.
What's in there? Nothing.
Claud, what's in there? A review of the play.
God.
I hope they didn't slam Daphne.
Oh, they didn't.
Yadda, yadda, yadda "Her Eliza Doolittle was a gem.
" Good.
"But what in the world did she see in that Henry Higgins? "A word to Charlie salinger, "who, according to the program, was making "if you have a day job, sir, "I beg you not to quit it.
And if you don't have one, please get one immediately.
" I, uh Didn't want to show it to you.
Here.
These are for you.
You might want to stay away from your neighbor across the street for a little while.
Jamie, we We have to talk.
How long have you known me? And in that 2 weeks, how many times have we seen each other? I don't know.
You know what that is? Every day? It's a lot.
It's It's too much.
Look, I like you.
I I mean, I really like you.
All I'm saying is something about a relationship that's fun is It's fun to miss somebody sometimes.
You know? I want to miss you.
Go away so I can miss you.
And Last night, there was this moment in the second act when I thought I was gonna go up.
But then I felt everybody's energy and good vibes And all of a sudden, I remembered my lines.
So Thanks.
I love you guys.
Charlie: Uh, before we go, um I, uh I'm sure some of you read the review in the paper today, although everyone was kind enough not to mention it.
And I just hope that, uh What I hope is that people who read it don't get swayed by it and not come here.
Because, you know, somebody says something a little negative and it kind of grows in your mind until you start to think maybe it's your opinion, too.
And you do that, and you start to close off to things, you start to miss out on things Things that could bring something really good into your life, things that could make you really happy If you're not so dumb that you walk away from them.
Anyway I wasn't that horrible, was I? Daphne: No, you weren't.
Just now, you weren't.
I don't think this is gonna come out.
Toss it.
I don't care.
Whatever.
I'm gonna I'm gonna call my old man.
I'm gonna go crash over there.
I'll stay with him.
This really must be the last place on earth you want to be if you're thinking about going there.
Just look at me.
I can't work.
ICan't even move.
I just don't want you doing all this stuff for me.
I'm doing it, Griffin.
Hey.
Hey.
How was the matinee? Well, I think I stunk a little bit less, so that was good.
How's he doing? Is he doing all right? I guess.
Well, listen, um I know you're gonna think this is nuts, and if it were you, you'd do it differently, but That job They wanted me to guarantee them 2 years And I'm not ready for that.
I don't know if I'm ready for any full-time thing right now.
I don't want to be tied down yet.
I don't want to get stuck, you know? Yeah.
I feel like I've got this big second chance, like me getting sick and then getting better was god's way of saying, "hey, Charlie, there's other stuff out there.
Other people.
" Like Daphne? Yeah.
And I don't know where things are going with us, but I like her A lot.
I feel good with her.
And I'm not saying you have to like her, jule.
I mean, I think you might if you gave her a chance.
But, in any case, do me a favor.
Don't dislike her out loud, ok? Ok.
Thanks.
And I bet Charlie could get us a good deal on that.
