Let's Eat Cake
[ALL CHATTERlNG.]
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
For the legions who are wondering, here are my big birthday plans.
Free teeth cleaning and x-rays from my dad.
MAN: Whoo.
Oh, yeah, wishing you were me, huh? Just a little bit? [POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
Um, which one's the mineral water? Uh, that's Donna's gin and tonic, this is your water.
What is it? Your dress.
You look beautiful in it.
- Yeah.
- Yes.
Thanks.
I got that.
We'll meet you at the table, okay? Oh, thank you.
- Well, ha, ha, she had a boob job.
NOAH: You tell us.
- You're the one sleeping with her.
- Not lately.
That is why you're not happy about this, Steve.
Why wouldn't she tell me she was gonna have it done? I heard, um, they feel different.
You mean you never tried the store-bought variety? You know, I've window-shopped.
I just never brought them home.
DYLAN: Tell you what, get her back over here, we'll take a look.
Hey, come on, this bugs me.
Why would she hide something so important from me? She's probably embarrassed.
She doesn't want you to think that she is vain.
She has to know you love it.
Trust me.
CHARlSSE: Noah.
I liked things the way they were anyway.
Steve, maybe Janet's always wanted to do it.
- It's like a-- DYLAN: Mm.
--self-improvement thing, right? Because she's not happy.
She's just gearing up, getting all her ducks in a row-- Yeah, well, those are some ducks.
--before she dumps me.
[lNAUDlBLE DlALOGUE.]
That was just a small gesture of affection.
On a couple's scale of 1 to 1 0, it's like a 2.
KELLY: Yeah.
- None of my business.
Have you told him that Wayne's out of the picture? Obviously, what's the point? Well, if you want him back.
I cheated, I ruined it.
It's over.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Um, we should get going.
- After this one dance, okay? [SOFT ROCK MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
[CHUCKLES.]
Um You know, uh, we have, uh We both have cars, so if you just wanna-- Yeah, yeah.
I'm happy to follow you home, don't worry.
You know what? I'm not ready, uh, for this.
I Kelly, I was just thinking I would walk you to the door and we could say good night there, that's all.
I just need space, okay, right now.
And I need you to give it to me.
Okay.
- Okay.
- No, I mean it, Matt.
I'm sorry but-- I need it.
I need it to feel safe again.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
Here you go.
It's for the water, electric I haven't gone through the bills and figured out the total yet.
Whatever.
Hey, I heard about your, uh, 24th annual teeth cleaning.
But, uh, it's your birthday, we could probably do better.
- This is too much.
- Buy me a beer sometime.
This is too much! So buy me a 1 2-pack.
I'm just trying to pay my way.
I know exactly what you're doing.
You're trying to buy your way out of all the messes you make, just like you always do.
- What'd you see in there, David? - Wha--? Hmm? What'd you see? Anybody, uh, holding a gun to her head? - All right, shut up.
- I didn't think so.
- I'll tell you what you saw.
- Shut up.
Me getting back together with my girlfriend.
[PHONE RlNGS.]
- Hello.
KELLY: So about your birthday.
I have two days to talk them out of it.
Ha, ha.
Yeah, and miss, uh, dinner with the family at ye old Homestead? I know it's family tradition, but as a vegetarian I could protest the steaks.
Should I drive to Mel and Jackie's or we all going in the minivan? I'll pick you up, 7::30.
Great.
I can't wait.
KELLY: We're all set.
David thinks he's having dinner with his folks.
Heh.
Well, when he sees these, he'll wish he had.
[KELLY CHUCKLES.]
Oh, he was so cute before he got all handsome.
These pictures are gonna be good to decorate the party with.
You can blow them up at the paper, right? - Yeah, we have great new software.
- Good.
So I'm going to go get dressed.
I'll see you at the office.
Sure.
[STEVE SlGHS.]
Has Janet said anything about me? Nothing, uh, in particular, no.
Nothing.
You said "nothing" like it's something.
- She wants out, doesn't she? - We've been over this.
If I knew that she wanted to break up with you, I would tell you.
- Janet wants to break up with you? - You've picked up on it too? Okay, I'm gonna go take these to her so that she doesn't forget them.
Steve, you relax.
Relax.
Relax.
My girlfriend sleeps here and not in my place.
We came home after the club.
It was late and we were talking Oh, please.
Spare me with the sisterhood stuff.
Kelly's been through a lot.
Janet's been very supportive.
I just can't stand being around her thinking she's gonna break up with me any minute.
For the record, I think you guys are perfect together.
So do l.
- He knows something's up.
JANET: Hmm.
Oh, thanks for the loaner.
I couldn't face an empty apartment last night.
The baby moved this morning.
They call it fluttering.
- It's really hard to describe.
- I'm sure it's wonderful.
Probably something you'd like to share with say, Steve or your parents.
Yeah, they'll love this just about as much as Steve will.
Janet, these are people who love you.
Don't forget that.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
- Hey.
- Hey, is Steve gone yet? Yeah.
You know, I don't think you should break up with him.
He's so crazy about you.
Well, I'm glad to hear it because I'm having his child.
What? - Oh! Oh, my God.
- I wanted to tell you but, um, Kelly was there and the timing was just right and - How far along are you? - Uh, four months.
Oh.
- Welcome to the problem.
- Parenting's adult stuff, you guys.
- I think he's gonna be fine.
DONNA: Yeah.
Probably better than you'd expect.
- What if he doesn't want to? - Then you always have us.
Gina's room is empty.
Thank God.
And you're moving in.
Okay.
[ALL LAUGH.]
Dylan, you're back.
Dylan it's me, Lucy Wilson.
- Lucy Wilson.
- Ha, ha.
You are little Lucy Wilson with the retainer and the? Ha-ha-ha.
Oh.
Shh.
- Sorry.
- Well, Gina, this is, uh, Lucy Wilson.
She used to live in the hotel when she was a kid.
- Oh, I still live here.
- And now you're all grown up.
Ha, ha.
I had the biggest crush on you, okay.
Ha, ha.
[LUCY GRUNTS.]
Oh, this is Bob.
He's in a hurry.
Big-hurry Bob.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah, somehow I think, uh, "Officer Bob" is more appropriate.
Obviously you have a situation here, but she doesn't look like a dangerous felon.
Maybe you could take those handcuffs off? Doesn't quite work that way.
He tore my room apart.
Did you like going through my underwear to find a few joints? - These hurt! - Listen, Lucy, don't worry about it.
I know a lawyer, we'll meet you at the station.
LUCY: Thanks, Dylan.
What was that all about? [SlGHS.]
That was a drug bust.
WOMAN 1 : I'll see you later.
WOMAN 2: Okay.
So I guess you're not hungry either? Because there's something that I really need to tell you.
But I want you to know that first of all, I wanna be with you.
I didn't make this as like, a last meal for us or anything.
So, uh, this change I've noticed-- - I just hope it'll bring us closer.
- Oh, they will.
- They? - Janet, I think you should know I was very happy with the way things were.
But, Steve, there's no going back now.
I respect the fact that it was your choice, but I think we should get a view of the situation from another angle, perhaps? Which angle? Close up, in bed.
Oh, Janet, they look great.
You think I had implants? - Oh, yeah! - That's your fantasy, Steve.
Do you know what my fantasy is? Seeing you evolve past the age 1 4.
- What? - Forget it, okay? Let's just go.
Go? [KNOCKl NG ON DOOR.]
I came to say I'm sorry.
- All right, you feel better now? - I hate how much I hurt you.
And I don't know what to say, l I wish there was one thing I could say that would make it all better.
But I know how angry you are, I know it's gonna take more.
NOAH: We went out for a year and a half.
- I took out a lease on a house for us.
- I know.
I just got scared.
I didn't know how to tell you.
So you sleep with somebody you don't even know? That got the point across.
I gotta tell you, it really did.
I thought we were happy.
Guess I was wrong.
So I talked to Lucy and she said the bail hearing went okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How's she doing? All right.
Said she'll probably sleep for 1 4 hours.
Well, that's a natural when you've been up for a week.
That's yours.
Look, Dylan, how well do you know this girl? When I was in high school, l, uh-- I lived at the hotel.
So did she.
She was about 1 2 or 1 3, always underfoot.
- Where were her parents? - They did the bicoastal thing.
- She pretty much raised herself.
- Well, that's a disaster.
- Ah, that's how I was raised.
- Exactly.
DYLAN: Caught her getting stoned.
- A little pot, crystal meth.
But she's the type of girl they might roast as an example.
How much crystal meth? She had a scale, they could have charged her with trafficking.
[SlGHS.]
So there I am trying to explain to Steve that our entire lives are about to change and all he wants to do is touch my breasts.
- Ha, ha.
JANET: I can't raise two children.
Now, it's not fair to judge Steve on how he might react to the news.
Well, he use to date a girl that had a little boy.
Oh, isn't this cosy.
Um, this is actually perfect because I have this key for you.
And I just gotta grab some of my stuff and then I'll be out of your way.
Now I'm on her hit list.
You guys, Gina's the only one we didn't invite to David's surprise party.
I know we kicked her out of the apartment but we don't have to exclude her from everything, right? - Or am I being way too nice here? - Yes, you are.
But there's an invitation on the table.
Do what you want.
I am definitely too nice.
[CHUCKLES.]
LUCY: Thanks for paying my bail.
DYLAN: No problem, Lucy.
I heard you were living in London.
God, that sounds fantastic.
You'll get there, but not doing crystal meth.
It wasn't all mine, okay? And I swear I learned my lesson.
I don't wanna go to jail.
Okay, so you're not in school.
You got a job? Doing what? Folding $90 T-shirts at Fred Segal's? Well, back to my point about school.
If Matt can get me off, maybe I'll open a restaurant like you.
No, it's just a nightclub.
You gotta aim higher.
When you were in high school, I used to follow you up to the roof.
I didn't know that.
You'd get stoned with some girl or a friend and talk about philosophy.
Well, I ran for student counsel as a nihilist and I lost.
Yeah, well, you know, Nietzsche isn't exactly a school-spirit kind of guy.
I wanted to be sitting next to you on that ledge.
You didn't miss anything.
I'm not saying I was in love or anything.
It's more, I wanted to be just like you.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
NOAH: What do you need? I came to talk about David's surprise party.
Kelly already told me all about it.
Well, I was thinking about the menu.
Well, talk to Nat, he's catering it.
Okay.
Were you, uh, planning on setting up a buffet? I'm gonna cordon off a nice private little area up here.
I've got a great band.
It's all set.
So this is it, huh? We can't even talk to each other now? I think you know the answer to that.
That's why you had Kelly come here and test waters.
Well, I guess I thought-- I thought you might say no.
She told me it's the easiest place to bring David.
I don't need you coming here for no reason.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I know I keep saying that but I'm sorry.
And every time you say it, it means a little bit less.
MAN: Can l, uh, buy you a drink? GlNA: No.
It's pretty crowded in here tonight.
Anybody out there hooking up on the rebound? Here's a little checklist that I learned from a friend of mine.
[MAN SPEAKlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY.]
A girl named, uh, Tina.
- You're really pretty.
DAVlD: Number one, they need saving.
Number two, you're the only one who can do it.
And number three, they're so grateful they could just about have sex with you, but not quite.
Well, I sure hope I've helped somebody see the light.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
- Hi, I'm Gina.
- Hi, Gina.
Anything else you wanna clear up, let's do it one-on-one.
- You used me to make Dylan jealous.
- Are you kidding me? What are you talking about? I needed a friend.
You knew that.
And you acted like one, didn't you? [DAVlD SlGHS.]
You know, David, if you did that just to get something in return, then you're the fake, not me.
Here you go.
Well, dinner was great.
But you should probably get some sleep.
I'm in no hurry.
Neither am l.
You gotta know that.
I do.
[SlGHS.]
I've been going to my, um, rape-survivors group.
And I've been really trying, but sometimes I just I can't catch my breath, you know? Well, you should know that this is not you problem, it's ours.
Help me understand how you feel.
[SlGHS.]
One time you told me that in college your apartment was broken into.
In Brooklyn, two guys tore the place apart.
They stole from you.
They destroyed things that you loved.
And even though you knew that they had been caught and they weren't coming back-- The place just didn't feel right, so I moved.
Imagine that happening to your body, and not being able to leave it.
I wanna be with you.
And I don't see you any differently.
I do.
And you'll get past this.
I don't know how.
We'll work on it together.
In fact, I have a couple of ideas if you're interested.
Sure.
Heh.
[STEVE GRUNTS.]
I told you you didn't have to work late.
We had to get the issue to bed.
[GRUNTS.]
If you don't feel well, just say so.
Don't blame it on me.
I never specifically asked for bigger bosoms.
Steve, the reason my body's different is because I'm pregnant.
- Say it again.
- I'm pregnant.
[GASPS.]
Oh, that's Unexpected.
Don't worry, we'll manage somehow.
Oh, Janet.
When did you find out? Look, I know this isn't what you'd want if we were discussing options, but the fact is I'm gonna have this baby, okay? I realise we're both a little shocked.
You took one of those, uh, home pregnancy tests? The pink and stripes and X's and--? - A doctor confirmed it.
- You went to a doctor? I know I've been crazy around here but I would have gone to a doctor with you.
- When did you go to a doctor? - Three months ago.
- When I first realised I was late.
- Three months ago? - That puts you in your-- - In my 1 6th week.
We've been together every day, every minute, every second for the last three months.
How could you not tell me? I'm sorry.
You who are always lecturing me about right and wrong.
- You do this to me? - I didn't do anything.
Except go ahead with a pregnancy which we didn't discuss.
It's not like I planned this, Steve.
Why don't I believe you? [CHUCKLES.]
How you doing, Janet? "I'm fine, Steve, a little pregnant.
About to wreck your life, that's all.
' Hi, I was just, uh, blow-drying my hair.
You know what? Matt can get you out of this.
Right, Matt? We can get her to take a DNA test, right? Come on, Steve, you know it's yours.
Yeah, but what does that mean legally? Financially, you're on the hook, assuming she asks.
Has she? - Actually, no she hasn't.
- Wait, wait, wait.
Maybe she's just gonna take your seed and split.
I mean, what makes you think she needs your money? Thank you.
Steve, if that happens, you could always make a case for custody.
- The kid's not even born yet.
- Steve, it's your girlfriend.
Look, I gotta meet Kelly.
If you wanna talk, we'll talk at the house later.
Thanks.
- See you guys later.
- See you.
I really didn't want this now.
You know what, Steve, don't step in this kid's life if you're gonna resent it.
You won't be doing anybody any favours.
Your father wasn't here when you came into this world, don't make-- Let me just cut you off before you say something stupid.
He's 25, he doesn't have your millions, and he's working 1 2 hours a day trying to make something of himself.
So compared to his responsibilities, Dylan, you have none.
Steve, don't get backed into this, all right? Thanks.
[DOOR SLAMS.]
All right, here's the deal, I just booked Christina Aguilera.
Kelly's picking David up at 7::30, be at the club at 7::00, all right? - I'm gonna go too.
- All right.
- Thanks for your pearls of wisdom.
- Anytime.
Party for David? Yeah.
Um, Donna's hosting.
She wants him to have a good time.
Hmm.
So we're not going, right? Ha, ha.
- You're going? - Yeah, briefly.
Let me get this straight.
David's pissed off at me because of you and you're invited but I'm not.
I've known David for ten years and this has gotta stop.
You being there is not gonna help matters and, Gina, you don't even wanna go.
No, I don't wanna go.
I know it sounds idiotic, but I was in the bookstore and I saw this guy was doing a seminar.
"David Selders, The Way Back: Finding Intimacy after Trauma.
" It's an hour.
Just hear him out? - Okay.
- Okay? All right, let's get started.
Everybody up.
Let's go.
Come on.
Everybody up, gather around.
Don't be shy.
Don't you hate that saying? All right, for latecomers, I'm Gavin Masonis and this class is Bye-Bye to Shyness.
I think we're in the wrong class.
Love the talking.
Exactly what we're going for.
Are you sure you're right for Bye-Bye to Shyness class? - Actually, Gavin, we're-- - All right, here's the drill.
It's time to get acquainted, and a great way to do that is to pass the orange.
- Now, this man is? - Um, Matt.
- Very good.
And you are? - Kelly.
Excellent.
Now, Matt will pass the orange to Kelly.
Kelly will pass it to? Um-- On second thought, we'll start with you.
Oh.
- Hold it with your chin.
- Okay.
GAVlN: Don't let it drop.
- I got it.
Kelly, chin up.
Um It's okay, just, um, turn around and bend down there.
- There we go.
GAVlN: Very nice, huh? Very nice.
All right, now Kelly to Matt.
- To me? - Yeah.
MATT: Okay, come on, we can do this.
We're all We're all over this.
Um [ALL GlGGLlNG.]
It's okay.
It's nothing.
It's Next.
Just hear me out, okay? I was scared.
I wasn't sure if I should have this baby.
Both things we could have discussed.
Or that I could even carry this baby to term.
I have a history of miscarriage in my family and I couldn't deal with the stress.
So you waited until it's too late to do anything about it to tell me you're having my child? - Too late to do what? - To discuss our options.
Would you have told me to have an abortion? Maybe if I had time to process this, I could be happy about it.
But I don't.
And now I never will.
- I'm gonna go pick up David.
- Yeah, just give me one minute.
Just really quickly.
Just like one second.
- We can do this.
- Oh, heh, come on.
- We can do this, all right? - No, no, this is ridiculous.
Come here, just try it.
[CHUCKLES.]
If you only knew how stupid you looked right now.
Please? Tell me what to do.
Tell you what to do.
Okay.
In this really unconscious way, you used to drape your arm around my neck.
Now I can't stand being touched anywhere near my throat.
Okay, I understand.
Never sneak up behind me.
That's how he attacked me.
Kelly.
But do hold me close, it makes me feel safe.
LUCY: Thanks for hooking me up with Matt.
If it weren't for you, I don't know where I'd be.
Probably in rehab.
You know, you should go anyway.
Illegal search and seizure, that's not a lucky break if you're still on meth.
I took a few drugs.
I was experimenting.
That's over now.
Replaced with what? Job? School? Lucy, you gotta get your life back on track.
You should go back to college.
Did it turn your life around? I dropped out.
Because we're not like other people.
No, we're not like other people.
I'm an ex-heroin addict and you're speeding right now.
Don't lie to me.
I can tell.
Your eyes are dilated, you're pretty much wired for sound.
God, "go to school, get a job.
' You drop by a bar you own and you call it a career.
I'll go to college the second you do.
How's that? I go to Narcotics Anonymous twice a week.
Why don't you go with me tonight? I remember you going to AA too.
Want another or is this lecture over? - Some people can handle it.
- Another thing we have in common.
[LlNE RlNGS.]
DAVlD [OVER PHONE.]
: Hello.
- Hey, David, it's Gina.
Heh, I'm so glad you're there.
Ha, ha.
- Not for long, what's up? - Oh, I got a flat tyre.
Yeah? What, so don't you have auto club or something? I don't.
Can you believe that? I mean, I've been trying Dylan and I can't get a hold of him.
You know, I'm right off Fountain, across the street from Eldin's Pizza.
- It's so close to your house.
- Yeah, bu-- It's kind of dark and, I don't know, there's not a lot of people around, I'm kind of freaked out.
Please? [SlGHS.]
- Yeah, okay, fine.
- Thank you so much.
- I'll be there.
- Okay.
[AlR HlSSlNG.]
Here, I brought you that.
A course catalogue? Registration for non-matriculating students starts Tuesday.
I've got some under-grad credits so I should, uh, slide right back in.
- I was making a point.
- Yeah, I know.
The point being that I am as lost as you are.
Well, your point backfired and now I'm stuck going back to school.
- And so are you.
- College is gonna fix everything? Dropping out of college was not the only place that I went off track.
It was just the, uh, first of many.
I'll look through it.
- Heh, I can't believe you're doing this.
- Yeah, believe me, neither can l.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
KELLY: David? Are you in there? [CELL PHONE RlNGlNG.]
- Could you grab that? - Oh, yeah.
Where? DAVlD: Back pocket.
GlNA: Oh.
- Hello.
- Hi.
I'm looking for David.
Who's this? [LlNE DlSCONNECTS.]
DAVlD: Who was it? - Wrong number, heh.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
DONNA: Where's David? KELLY: A woman answered his cell phone.
DONNA: Who? - Gina.
- What? I didn't recognise her voice at first, but David left me a message saying that he was going to help her change her tyre and that I should meet him at the Homestead Restaurant.
- Call him on his cell phone again.
- I did.
It's off.
She screwed us.
Uh, can we eat the cake now? How did she even find out about the party? We were talking about it at Dylan's.
- Who's we? - The guys.
Gina.
Why am I supposed to hate her again? [SlGHS.]
You know, Gina, you should get Dylan a pager so he can be out here changing your tyre and doing all this stuff because I really don't know why I'm-- Do you have any idea how much I appreciate this? - Oh, let me buy you dinner.
- I can't.
I gotta go.
Oh, right, the restaurant, yeah.
Don't you think it's weird that I called up there - and my parents weren't there yet? - Let me buy you one drink, huh? I'll even sing "Happy Birthday" to you.
I have a good voice.
Why would I wanna hang out with you? Why would you spend the evening with me and then go home to Dylan? - That makes no sense to me.
- Yeah, you're right.
I'm sorry.
Once again, I just thought we were friends.
No, you thought you could call me and I'd come running.
[SlGHS.]
That's exactly what I did.
I'd say that this is it, and this is the last time, but the truth is if you called me and you needed me, I'd be there.
Um So you know what? You gotta stop.
I can't do this anymore.
It's late, I gotta go.
- David.
- Yeah? Let me take you for one drink.
- I can't, I gotta go.
- One small quick drink.
It's my birthday, they're waiting for me.
Please? NOAH: Ladies and gentleman, Christina Aguilera.
[ALL CHEERlNG AND APPLAUDlNG.]
[MOUTHS.]
Thanks.
[BAND PLAYlNG "GENlE lN A BOTTLE".]
[SlNGlNG.]
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh I feel like I've been locked up tight For a century of lonely nights Waiting for someone to release me You're licking your lips And blowing kisses my way But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away Baby, baby, baby My body's saying let's go But my heart is saying no If you wanna be with me, Baby, there's a price to pay I'm a genie in a bottle You gotta rub me the right way If you wanna be with me-- What do you say, where's the, uh, birthday boy? He did not show up.
The party's a total disaster.
Well, you seem to be taking it okay.
- Would you like to dance with me? - Love to.
I'm a genie in a bottle, baby, Come, come, come on and let me out The music's playing And the light's down low Just one more dance And then we're good to go Waiting for someone who needs me Hormones racing At the speed of light But that don't mean It's gotta be tonight Baby, baby, baby My body's saying let's go But my heart is saying no If you wanna be with me, Baby, there's a price to pay [BOTH CH UCKLE.]
- It's a very inventive choice.
- Yeah, well, I'm feeling a little crazy.
Oh, yeah.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Do you know you're the nicest guy I know? Even when you're trying to be mean.
And you only turn 24 once so get in there.
- What's going on with you? - Nothing.
Ha, ha.
- Nothing? No? - No.
No, I just like who I am when I'm with you.
- Huh.
- Hmm.
Too bad you're not with me.
- So you coming or what? - Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Um, you go and get us a table and then I gotta get my purse.
- Okay.
- Okay.
[CHUCKLES.]
[ENGlNE STARTS.]
Gina.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
ALL: Surprise! - Hey! KELLY: Happy birthday.
DAVlD: Thank you.
NAT: Hey, pal, happy birthday.
- Thank you.
JANET: Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday.
- Thanks, Matt.
- There you go.
- Thanks, Steve.
[STEVE CHUCKLES.]
- Speech.
ALL: Speech, speech.
Well, this is a-- This is humiliating.
And great.
Oh, boy, fair warning, I've known some of you for a long time too.
You know, every breakup, every bad haircut-- No offence, Steve.
[CHUCKLES.]
--every move we've made, we've done together in some way or another.
And this is-- This is really a surprise because I was expecting to be with my family tonight, and the weird thing is that I am.
And I couldn't be happier about it.
Thank you.
And now to start off my last set, I'd like to sing "l Turn To You.
' [CROWD CHEERlNG AND APPLAUDlNG.]
[SlNGlNG.]
When I'm lost In the rain In your eyes I know I'll find the light To light my way When I'm scared Losing ground When my world is going crazy You can turn it all around And when I'm down You're there Pushing me to the top You're always there Giving me all you've got For a shield from the storm For a friend For a love to keep me safe and warm - Gina said to say hi.
- So you were with her? Yep.
Feeling pretty good about it too.
Well, I hope this means things are cool with us now.
I'm sure you do.
MAN: Oh.
[TOlLET FLUSHES.]
If there had been a men's room and one of those near the campsite, we'd be dancing now, and your biggest concern would be your jump shot.
I'm finally acutely aware of that.
I hope so, because everything is going to change.
My body's gonna change, and in five months, I won't be able to go to the bathroom without arranging care for another human being.
[SCOFFS.]
- I just wish you told me about it.
- So do l.
I didn't plan this, Steve, but I do want it.
If you don't, I will completely understand.
[SlGHS.]
I promise I won't make a single demand on you, but it's your choice.
[SlGHS.]
[GlNA CHUCKLES.]
You did a good thing tonight.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
- Lucy? - I feel sick.
- What'd you take? - Nothing, that's the problem.
It must be all that crap getting out of your bloodstream.
There's a rehab centre in Topanga Canyon.
- You'll take me at 8 a.
m.
? - Okay.
Well, until then you can, uh-- You can stay here.
It's a two-week programme and then I'm gonna go back East to Wesleyan.
But I'm gonna hold you to our deal.
Yeah, our deal.
Uh You send me your report card, and I'll send you mine.
Until then, let's just, uh, try and get you through tonight.
[THUDDlNG OUTSlDE.]
MATT: Hey.
It's 3 in the morning, man.
I know.
What are you gonna do about Janet? I don't know, Matt.
I don't know.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
For the legions who are wondering, here are my big birthday plans.
Free teeth cleaning and x-rays from my dad.
MAN: Whoo.
Oh, yeah, wishing you were me, huh? Just a little bit? [POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
Um, which one's the mineral water? Uh, that's Donna's gin and tonic, this is your water.
What is it? Your dress.
You look beautiful in it.
- Yeah.
- Yes.
Thanks.
I got that.
We'll meet you at the table, okay? Oh, thank you.
- Well, ha, ha, she had a boob job.
NOAH: You tell us.
- You're the one sleeping with her.
- Not lately.
That is why you're not happy about this, Steve.
Why wouldn't she tell me she was gonna have it done? I heard, um, they feel different.
You mean you never tried the store-bought variety? You know, I've window-shopped.
I just never brought them home.
DYLAN: Tell you what, get her back over here, we'll take a look.
Hey, come on, this bugs me.
Why would she hide something so important from me? She's probably embarrassed.
She doesn't want you to think that she is vain.
She has to know you love it.
Trust me.
CHARlSSE: Noah.
I liked things the way they were anyway.
Steve, maybe Janet's always wanted to do it.
- It's like a-- DYLAN: Mm.
--self-improvement thing, right? Because she's not happy.
She's just gearing up, getting all her ducks in a row-- Yeah, well, those are some ducks.
--before she dumps me.
[lNAUDlBLE DlALOGUE.]
That was just a small gesture of affection.
On a couple's scale of 1 to 1 0, it's like a 2.
KELLY: Yeah.
- None of my business.
Have you told him that Wayne's out of the picture? Obviously, what's the point? Well, if you want him back.
I cheated, I ruined it.
It's over.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Um, we should get going.
- After this one dance, okay? [SOFT ROCK MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
[CHUCKLES.]
Um You know, uh, we have, uh We both have cars, so if you just wanna-- Yeah, yeah.
I'm happy to follow you home, don't worry.
You know what? I'm not ready, uh, for this.
I Kelly, I was just thinking I would walk you to the door and we could say good night there, that's all.
I just need space, okay, right now.
And I need you to give it to me.
Okay.
- Okay.
- No, I mean it, Matt.
I'm sorry but-- I need it.
I need it to feel safe again.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
Here you go.
It's for the water, electric I haven't gone through the bills and figured out the total yet.
Whatever.
Hey, I heard about your, uh, 24th annual teeth cleaning.
But, uh, it's your birthday, we could probably do better.
- This is too much.
- Buy me a beer sometime.
This is too much! So buy me a 1 2-pack.
I'm just trying to pay my way.
I know exactly what you're doing.
You're trying to buy your way out of all the messes you make, just like you always do.
- What'd you see in there, David? - Wha--? Hmm? What'd you see? Anybody, uh, holding a gun to her head? - All right, shut up.
- I didn't think so.
- I'll tell you what you saw.
- Shut up.
Me getting back together with my girlfriend.
[PHONE RlNGS.]
- Hello.
KELLY: So about your birthday.
I have two days to talk them out of it.
Ha, ha.
Yeah, and miss, uh, dinner with the family at ye old Homestead? I know it's family tradition, but as a vegetarian I could protest the steaks.
Should I drive to Mel and Jackie's or we all going in the minivan? I'll pick you up, 7::30.
Great.
I can't wait.
KELLY: We're all set.
David thinks he's having dinner with his folks.
Heh.
Well, when he sees these, he'll wish he had.
[KELLY CHUCKLES.]
Oh, he was so cute before he got all handsome.
These pictures are gonna be good to decorate the party with.
You can blow them up at the paper, right? - Yeah, we have great new software.
- Good.
So I'm going to go get dressed.
I'll see you at the office.
Sure.
[STEVE SlGHS.]
Has Janet said anything about me? Nothing, uh, in particular, no.
Nothing.
You said "nothing" like it's something.
- She wants out, doesn't she? - We've been over this.
If I knew that she wanted to break up with you, I would tell you.
- Janet wants to break up with you? - You've picked up on it too? Okay, I'm gonna go take these to her so that she doesn't forget them.
Steve, you relax.
Relax.
Relax.
My girlfriend sleeps here and not in my place.
We came home after the club.
It was late and we were talking Oh, please.
Spare me with the sisterhood stuff.
Kelly's been through a lot.
Janet's been very supportive.
I just can't stand being around her thinking she's gonna break up with me any minute.
For the record, I think you guys are perfect together.
So do l.
- He knows something's up.
JANET: Hmm.
Oh, thanks for the loaner.
I couldn't face an empty apartment last night.
The baby moved this morning.
They call it fluttering.
- It's really hard to describe.
- I'm sure it's wonderful.
Probably something you'd like to share with say, Steve or your parents.
Yeah, they'll love this just about as much as Steve will.
Janet, these are people who love you.
Don't forget that.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
- Hey.
- Hey, is Steve gone yet? Yeah.
You know, I don't think you should break up with him.
He's so crazy about you.
Well, I'm glad to hear it because I'm having his child.
What? - Oh! Oh, my God.
- I wanted to tell you but, um, Kelly was there and the timing was just right and - How far along are you? - Uh, four months.
Oh.
- Welcome to the problem.
- Parenting's adult stuff, you guys.
- I think he's gonna be fine.
DONNA: Yeah.
Probably better than you'd expect.
- What if he doesn't want to? - Then you always have us.
Gina's room is empty.
Thank God.
And you're moving in.
Okay.
[ALL LAUGH.]
Dylan, you're back.
Dylan it's me, Lucy Wilson.
- Lucy Wilson.
- Ha, ha.
You are little Lucy Wilson with the retainer and the? Ha-ha-ha.
Oh.
Shh.
- Sorry.
- Well, Gina, this is, uh, Lucy Wilson.
She used to live in the hotel when she was a kid.
- Oh, I still live here.
- And now you're all grown up.
Ha, ha.
I had the biggest crush on you, okay.
Ha, ha.
[LUCY GRUNTS.]
Oh, this is Bob.
He's in a hurry.
Big-hurry Bob.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah, somehow I think, uh, "Officer Bob" is more appropriate.
Obviously you have a situation here, but she doesn't look like a dangerous felon.
Maybe you could take those handcuffs off? Doesn't quite work that way.
He tore my room apart.
Did you like going through my underwear to find a few joints? - These hurt! - Listen, Lucy, don't worry about it.
I know a lawyer, we'll meet you at the station.
LUCY: Thanks, Dylan.
What was that all about? [SlGHS.]
That was a drug bust.
WOMAN 1 : I'll see you later.
WOMAN 2: Okay.
So I guess you're not hungry either? Because there's something that I really need to tell you.
But I want you to know that first of all, I wanna be with you.
I didn't make this as like, a last meal for us or anything.
So, uh, this change I've noticed-- - I just hope it'll bring us closer.
- Oh, they will.
- They? - Janet, I think you should know I was very happy with the way things were.
But, Steve, there's no going back now.
I respect the fact that it was your choice, but I think we should get a view of the situation from another angle, perhaps? Which angle? Close up, in bed.
Oh, Janet, they look great.
You think I had implants? - Oh, yeah! - That's your fantasy, Steve.
Do you know what my fantasy is? Seeing you evolve past the age 1 4.
- What? - Forget it, okay? Let's just go.
Go? [KNOCKl NG ON DOOR.]
I came to say I'm sorry.
- All right, you feel better now? - I hate how much I hurt you.
And I don't know what to say, l I wish there was one thing I could say that would make it all better.
But I know how angry you are, I know it's gonna take more.
NOAH: We went out for a year and a half.
- I took out a lease on a house for us.
- I know.
I just got scared.
I didn't know how to tell you.
So you sleep with somebody you don't even know? That got the point across.
I gotta tell you, it really did.
I thought we were happy.
Guess I was wrong.
So I talked to Lucy and she said the bail hearing went okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How's she doing? All right.
Said she'll probably sleep for 1 4 hours.
Well, that's a natural when you've been up for a week.
That's yours.
Look, Dylan, how well do you know this girl? When I was in high school, l, uh-- I lived at the hotel.
So did she.
She was about 1 2 or 1 3, always underfoot.
- Where were her parents? - They did the bicoastal thing.
- She pretty much raised herself.
- Well, that's a disaster.
- Ah, that's how I was raised.
- Exactly.
DYLAN: Caught her getting stoned.
- A little pot, crystal meth.
But she's the type of girl they might roast as an example.
How much crystal meth? She had a scale, they could have charged her with trafficking.
[SlGHS.]
So there I am trying to explain to Steve that our entire lives are about to change and all he wants to do is touch my breasts.
- Ha, ha.
JANET: I can't raise two children.
Now, it's not fair to judge Steve on how he might react to the news.
Well, he use to date a girl that had a little boy.
Oh, isn't this cosy.
Um, this is actually perfect because I have this key for you.
And I just gotta grab some of my stuff and then I'll be out of your way.
Now I'm on her hit list.
You guys, Gina's the only one we didn't invite to David's surprise party.
I know we kicked her out of the apartment but we don't have to exclude her from everything, right? - Or am I being way too nice here? - Yes, you are.
But there's an invitation on the table.
Do what you want.
I am definitely too nice.
[CHUCKLES.]
LUCY: Thanks for paying my bail.
DYLAN: No problem, Lucy.
I heard you were living in London.
God, that sounds fantastic.
You'll get there, but not doing crystal meth.
It wasn't all mine, okay? And I swear I learned my lesson.
I don't wanna go to jail.
Okay, so you're not in school.
You got a job? Doing what? Folding $90 T-shirts at Fred Segal's? Well, back to my point about school.
If Matt can get me off, maybe I'll open a restaurant like you.
No, it's just a nightclub.
You gotta aim higher.
When you were in high school, I used to follow you up to the roof.
I didn't know that.
You'd get stoned with some girl or a friend and talk about philosophy.
Well, I ran for student counsel as a nihilist and I lost.
Yeah, well, you know, Nietzsche isn't exactly a school-spirit kind of guy.
I wanted to be sitting next to you on that ledge.
You didn't miss anything.
I'm not saying I was in love or anything.
It's more, I wanted to be just like you.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
NOAH: What do you need? I came to talk about David's surprise party.
Kelly already told me all about it.
Well, I was thinking about the menu.
Well, talk to Nat, he's catering it.
Okay.
Were you, uh, planning on setting up a buffet? I'm gonna cordon off a nice private little area up here.
I've got a great band.
It's all set.
So this is it, huh? We can't even talk to each other now? I think you know the answer to that.
That's why you had Kelly come here and test waters.
Well, I guess I thought-- I thought you might say no.
She told me it's the easiest place to bring David.
I don't need you coming here for no reason.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I know I keep saying that but I'm sorry.
And every time you say it, it means a little bit less.
MAN: Can l, uh, buy you a drink? GlNA: No.
It's pretty crowded in here tonight.
Anybody out there hooking up on the rebound? Here's a little checklist that I learned from a friend of mine.
[MAN SPEAKlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY.]
A girl named, uh, Tina.
- You're really pretty.
DAVlD: Number one, they need saving.
Number two, you're the only one who can do it.
And number three, they're so grateful they could just about have sex with you, but not quite.
Well, I sure hope I've helped somebody see the light.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
- Hi, I'm Gina.
- Hi, Gina.
Anything else you wanna clear up, let's do it one-on-one.
- You used me to make Dylan jealous.
- Are you kidding me? What are you talking about? I needed a friend.
You knew that.
And you acted like one, didn't you? [DAVlD SlGHS.]
You know, David, if you did that just to get something in return, then you're the fake, not me.
Here you go.
Well, dinner was great.
But you should probably get some sleep.
I'm in no hurry.
Neither am l.
You gotta know that.
I do.
[SlGHS.]
I've been going to my, um, rape-survivors group.
And I've been really trying, but sometimes I just I can't catch my breath, you know? Well, you should know that this is not you problem, it's ours.
Help me understand how you feel.
[SlGHS.]
One time you told me that in college your apartment was broken into.
In Brooklyn, two guys tore the place apart.
They stole from you.
They destroyed things that you loved.
And even though you knew that they had been caught and they weren't coming back-- The place just didn't feel right, so I moved.
Imagine that happening to your body, and not being able to leave it.
I wanna be with you.
And I don't see you any differently.
I do.
And you'll get past this.
I don't know how.
We'll work on it together.
In fact, I have a couple of ideas if you're interested.
Sure.
Heh.
[STEVE GRUNTS.]
I told you you didn't have to work late.
We had to get the issue to bed.
[GRUNTS.]
If you don't feel well, just say so.
Don't blame it on me.
I never specifically asked for bigger bosoms.
Steve, the reason my body's different is because I'm pregnant.
- Say it again.
- I'm pregnant.
[GASPS.]
Oh, that's Unexpected.
Don't worry, we'll manage somehow.
Oh, Janet.
When did you find out? Look, I know this isn't what you'd want if we were discussing options, but the fact is I'm gonna have this baby, okay? I realise we're both a little shocked.
You took one of those, uh, home pregnancy tests? The pink and stripes and X's and--? - A doctor confirmed it.
- You went to a doctor? I know I've been crazy around here but I would have gone to a doctor with you.
- When did you go to a doctor? - Three months ago.
- When I first realised I was late.
- Three months ago? - That puts you in your-- - In my 1 6th week.
We've been together every day, every minute, every second for the last three months.
How could you not tell me? I'm sorry.
You who are always lecturing me about right and wrong.
- You do this to me? - I didn't do anything.
Except go ahead with a pregnancy which we didn't discuss.
It's not like I planned this, Steve.
Why don't I believe you? [CHUCKLES.]
How you doing, Janet? "I'm fine, Steve, a little pregnant.
About to wreck your life, that's all.
' Hi, I was just, uh, blow-drying my hair.
You know what? Matt can get you out of this.
Right, Matt? We can get her to take a DNA test, right? Come on, Steve, you know it's yours.
Yeah, but what does that mean legally? Financially, you're on the hook, assuming she asks.
Has she? - Actually, no she hasn't.
- Wait, wait, wait.
Maybe she's just gonna take your seed and split.
I mean, what makes you think she needs your money? Thank you.
Steve, if that happens, you could always make a case for custody.
- The kid's not even born yet.
- Steve, it's your girlfriend.
Look, I gotta meet Kelly.
If you wanna talk, we'll talk at the house later.
Thanks.
- See you guys later.
- See you.
I really didn't want this now.
You know what, Steve, don't step in this kid's life if you're gonna resent it.
You won't be doing anybody any favours.
Your father wasn't here when you came into this world, don't make-- Let me just cut you off before you say something stupid.
He's 25, he doesn't have your millions, and he's working 1 2 hours a day trying to make something of himself.
So compared to his responsibilities, Dylan, you have none.
Steve, don't get backed into this, all right? Thanks.
[DOOR SLAMS.]
All right, here's the deal, I just booked Christina Aguilera.
Kelly's picking David up at 7::30, be at the club at 7::00, all right? - I'm gonna go too.
- All right.
- Thanks for your pearls of wisdom.
- Anytime.
Party for David? Yeah.
Um, Donna's hosting.
She wants him to have a good time.
Hmm.
So we're not going, right? Ha, ha.
- You're going? - Yeah, briefly.
Let me get this straight.
David's pissed off at me because of you and you're invited but I'm not.
I've known David for ten years and this has gotta stop.
You being there is not gonna help matters and, Gina, you don't even wanna go.
No, I don't wanna go.
I know it sounds idiotic, but I was in the bookstore and I saw this guy was doing a seminar.
"David Selders, The Way Back: Finding Intimacy after Trauma.
" It's an hour.
Just hear him out? - Okay.
- Okay? All right, let's get started.
Everybody up.
Let's go.
Come on.
Everybody up, gather around.
Don't be shy.
Don't you hate that saying? All right, for latecomers, I'm Gavin Masonis and this class is Bye-Bye to Shyness.
I think we're in the wrong class.
Love the talking.
Exactly what we're going for.
Are you sure you're right for Bye-Bye to Shyness class? - Actually, Gavin, we're-- - All right, here's the drill.
It's time to get acquainted, and a great way to do that is to pass the orange.
- Now, this man is? - Um, Matt.
- Very good.
And you are? - Kelly.
Excellent.
Now, Matt will pass the orange to Kelly.
Kelly will pass it to? Um-- On second thought, we'll start with you.
Oh.
- Hold it with your chin.
- Okay.
GAVlN: Don't let it drop.
- I got it.
Kelly, chin up.
Um It's okay, just, um, turn around and bend down there.
- There we go.
GAVlN: Very nice, huh? Very nice.
All right, now Kelly to Matt.
- To me? - Yeah.
MATT: Okay, come on, we can do this.
We're all We're all over this.
Um [ALL GlGGLlNG.]
It's okay.
It's nothing.
It's Next.
Just hear me out, okay? I was scared.
I wasn't sure if I should have this baby.
Both things we could have discussed.
Or that I could even carry this baby to term.
I have a history of miscarriage in my family and I couldn't deal with the stress.
So you waited until it's too late to do anything about it to tell me you're having my child? - Too late to do what? - To discuss our options.
Would you have told me to have an abortion? Maybe if I had time to process this, I could be happy about it.
But I don't.
And now I never will.
- I'm gonna go pick up David.
- Yeah, just give me one minute.
Just really quickly.
Just like one second.
- We can do this.
- Oh, heh, come on.
- We can do this, all right? - No, no, this is ridiculous.
Come here, just try it.
[CHUCKLES.]
If you only knew how stupid you looked right now.
Please? Tell me what to do.
Tell you what to do.
Okay.
In this really unconscious way, you used to drape your arm around my neck.
Now I can't stand being touched anywhere near my throat.
Okay, I understand.
Never sneak up behind me.
That's how he attacked me.
Kelly.
But do hold me close, it makes me feel safe.
LUCY: Thanks for hooking me up with Matt.
If it weren't for you, I don't know where I'd be.
Probably in rehab.
You know, you should go anyway.
Illegal search and seizure, that's not a lucky break if you're still on meth.
I took a few drugs.
I was experimenting.
That's over now.
Replaced with what? Job? School? Lucy, you gotta get your life back on track.
You should go back to college.
Did it turn your life around? I dropped out.
Because we're not like other people.
No, we're not like other people.
I'm an ex-heroin addict and you're speeding right now.
Don't lie to me.
I can tell.
Your eyes are dilated, you're pretty much wired for sound.
God, "go to school, get a job.
' You drop by a bar you own and you call it a career.
I'll go to college the second you do.
How's that? I go to Narcotics Anonymous twice a week.
Why don't you go with me tonight? I remember you going to AA too.
Want another or is this lecture over? - Some people can handle it.
- Another thing we have in common.
[LlNE RlNGS.]
DAVlD [OVER PHONE.]
: Hello.
- Hey, David, it's Gina.
Heh, I'm so glad you're there.
Ha, ha.
- Not for long, what's up? - Oh, I got a flat tyre.
Yeah? What, so don't you have auto club or something? I don't.
Can you believe that? I mean, I've been trying Dylan and I can't get a hold of him.
You know, I'm right off Fountain, across the street from Eldin's Pizza.
- It's so close to your house.
- Yeah, bu-- It's kind of dark and, I don't know, there's not a lot of people around, I'm kind of freaked out.
Please? [SlGHS.]
- Yeah, okay, fine.
- Thank you so much.
- I'll be there.
- Okay.
[AlR HlSSlNG.]
Here, I brought you that.
A course catalogue? Registration for non-matriculating students starts Tuesday.
I've got some under-grad credits so I should, uh, slide right back in.
- I was making a point.
- Yeah, I know.
The point being that I am as lost as you are.
Well, your point backfired and now I'm stuck going back to school.
- And so are you.
- College is gonna fix everything? Dropping out of college was not the only place that I went off track.
It was just the, uh, first of many.
I'll look through it.
- Heh, I can't believe you're doing this.
- Yeah, believe me, neither can l.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
KELLY: David? Are you in there? [CELL PHONE RlNGlNG.]
- Could you grab that? - Oh, yeah.
Where? DAVlD: Back pocket.
GlNA: Oh.
- Hello.
- Hi.
I'm looking for David.
Who's this? [LlNE DlSCONNECTS.]
DAVlD: Who was it? - Wrong number, heh.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
DONNA: Where's David? KELLY: A woman answered his cell phone.
DONNA: Who? - Gina.
- What? I didn't recognise her voice at first, but David left me a message saying that he was going to help her change her tyre and that I should meet him at the Homestead Restaurant.
- Call him on his cell phone again.
- I did.
It's off.
She screwed us.
Uh, can we eat the cake now? How did she even find out about the party? We were talking about it at Dylan's.
- Who's we? - The guys.
Gina.
Why am I supposed to hate her again? [SlGHS.]
You know, Gina, you should get Dylan a pager so he can be out here changing your tyre and doing all this stuff because I really don't know why I'm-- Do you have any idea how much I appreciate this? - Oh, let me buy you dinner.
- I can't.
I gotta go.
Oh, right, the restaurant, yeah.
Don't you think it's weird that I called up there - and my parents weren't there yet? - Let me buy you one drink, huh? I'll even sing "Happy Birthday" to you.
I have a good voice.
Why would I wanna hang out with you? Why would you spend the evening with me and then go home to Dylan? - That makes no sense to me.
- Yeah, you're right.
I'm sorry.
Once again, I just thought we were friends.
No, you thought you could call me and I'd come running.
[SlGHS.]
That's exactly what I did.
I'd say that this is it, and this is the last time, but the truth is if you called me and you needed me, I'd be there.
Um So you know what? You gotta stop.
I can't do this anymore.
It's late, I gotta go.
- David.
- Yeah? Let me take you for one drink.
- I can't, I gotta go.
- One small quick drink.
It's my birthday, they're waiting for me.
Please? NOAH: Ladies and gentleman, Christina Aguilera.
[ALL CHEERlNG AND APPLAUDlNG.]
[MOUTHS.]

[SlNGlNG.]
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh I feel like I've been locked up tight For a century of lonely nights Waiting for someone to release me You're licking your lips And blowing kisses my way But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away Baby, baby, baby My body's saying let's go But my heart is saying no If you wanna be with me, Baby, there's a price to pay I'm a genie in a bottle You gotta rub me the right way If you wanna be with me-- What do you say, where's the, uh, birthday boy? He did not show up.
The party's a total disaster.
Well, you seem to be taking it okay.
- Would you like to dance with me? - Love to.
I'm a genie in a bottle, baby, Come, come, come on and let me out The music's playing And the light's down low Just one more dance And then we're good to go Waiting for someone who needs me Hormones racing At the speed of light But that don't mean It's gotta be tonight Baby, baby, baby My body's saying let's go But my heart is saying no If you wanna be with me, Baby, there's a price to pay [BOTH CH UCKLE.]
- It's a very inventive choice.
- Yeah, well, I'm feeling a little crazy.
Oh, yeah.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Do you know you're the nicest guy I know? Even when you're trying to be mean.
And you only turn 24 once so get in there.
- What's going on with you? - Nothing.
Ha, ha.
- Nothing? No? - No.
No, I just like who I am when I'm with you.
- Huh.
- Hmm.
Too bad you're not with me.
- So you coming or what? - Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Um, you go and get us a table and then I gotta get my purse.
- Okay.
- Okay.

You know, every breakup, every bad haircut-- No offence, Steve.
[CHUCKLES.]
--every move we've made, we've done together in some way or another.
And this is-- This is really a surprise because I was expecting to be with my family tonight, and the weird thing is that I am.
And I couldn't be happier about it.
Thank you.
And now to start off my last set, I'd like to sing "l Turn To You.
' [CROWD CHEERlNG AND APPLAUDlNG.]
[SlNGlNG.]
When I'm lost In the rain In your eyes I know I'll find the light To light my way When I'm scared Losing ground When my world is going crazy You can turn it all around And when I'm down You're there Pushing me to the top You're always there Giving me all you've got For a shield from the storm For a friend For a love to keep me safe and warm - Gina said to say hi.
- So you were with her? Yep.
Feeling pretty good about it too.
Well, I hope this means things are cool with us now.
I'm sure you do.
MAN: Oh.
[TOlLET FLUSHES.]
If there had been a men's room and one of those near the campsite, we'd be dancing now, and your biggest concern would be your jump shot.
I'm finally acutely aware of that.
I hope so, because everything is going to change.
My body's gonna change, and in five months, I won't be able to go to the bathroom without arranging care for another human being.
[SCOFFS.]
- I just wish you told me about it.
- So do l.
I didn't plan this, Steve, but I do want it.
If you don't, I will completely understand.
[SlGHS.]
I promise I won't make a single demand on you, but it's your choice.
[SlGHS.]
[GlNA CHUCKLES.]
You did a good thing tonight.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
- Lucy? - I feel sick.
- What'd you take? - Nothing, that's the problem.
It must be all that crap getting out of your bloodstream.
There's a rehab centre in Topanga Canyon.
- You'll take me at 8 a.
m.
? - Okay.
Well, until then you can, uh-- You can stay here.
It's a two-week programme and then I'm gonna go back East to Wesleyan.
But I'm gonna hold you to our deal.
Yeah, our deal.
Uh You send me your report card, and I'll send you mine.
Until then, let's just, uh, try and get you through tonight.
[THUDDlNG OUTSlDE.]
