00:28You
00:30It's me
00:32It's me
00:35Mommy
00:36I thought you were one of dad's students
00:38You smell like a
00:40Brewery
00:41I called you like a million times
00:43Where were you?
00:47I was here all night
00:51There is something very unseemly about a woman
00:53Neglecting her only daughter
00:55So she can slobber over a married man
00:57Who was in all probability just being nice
00:59I think I fucked a man
01:01In the train bathroom
01:03You think?
01:04No, I did
01:07Willingly?
01:08Basically
01:10Sweetie, what is going on?
01:23It's fine, I wanted to
01:25Were you safe?
01:29Alexis
01:29Keep me out
01:35It's such a buckle
01:47Weren't you staying the night?
01:50I wasn't feeling up to it
01:53Sid's upstairs
01:55She came home?
01:56She's a mess, John
01:57She thought I was one of your girlfriends
01:59No, she was blind drunk
02:01She and Alexis have split up
02:02She's having a really hard time with all of this
02:05I'll talk to her
02:08Um
02:09Um
02:12I bumped into
02:13I bumped into Lynn and Steve at the Ramsdale
02:14What?
02:16Steve the president of the college?
02:18Mm-hmm
02:18The president and his wife saw you with your date
02:22At the most conspicuous bar in town
02:24It's a hotel bar
02:25I mean only tourists go there
02:26It's on Main Street
02:29She wanted a Cosmo
02:30I bent over backwards for you
02:32And you blow it because some 23 year old wanted to live out her sex in the city fantasy
02:36She's 28
02:38She's an elementary school teacher
02:40She's kind of a Charlotte actually
02:42Oh, don't don't joke with me
02:43Well, I wanted to stay in with you
02:44You told me to go
02:47Now I'm the one who's gonna suffer the most for it
02:49May I be alone?
02:52Please
03:33I'm sorry
03:35Oh my god
03:35Oh God
03:36Oh my god
03:36Sorry
03:36Sorry
03:37I wanted to ask
03:38I'm applying to this
03:40Um
03:40The creative writing program
03:42program at Brown. Right. And you need a letter of recommendation. And yes, of course.
03:48Oh, thank you. Thank you. I know you have so much going on right now. Oh, no, I'm happy
03:53to do it. Which sample are you submitting? Either a desk salad or the one about the
03:59evil babysitters. Well, you know how much I love those evil babysitters. Hi. Oh, hey,
04:06see you soon. Okay. How do you like her class? Professor Tong's class. Not a professor. It's
04:12like the highlight of my week. Like she's so down to earth, but also so brilliant. You
04:18know, and I mean, no one can compare to you. Although I'm ecstatic to know that. Where
04:24does it meet? But this time, no adverbs. Just try it, she said, encouragingly. I believe
04:34the best way to stop coveting your neighbor's husband is to make your neighbor your friend.
04:43I'm hearing good things. Oh, all lies, I am sure. Oh, no. Man loves to check in on me.
04:52Um, I wanted to see if we could grab a coffee. Fuck. I wish I could, but I have to
04:59go meet
05:00a student. Uh, yeah, these weekdays are such a blur. Oh, maybe this weekend? I feel like
05:08an idiot, but weekends are actually the worst right now. Vlad needs weekends to write, so
05:13it's a total childcare blackout for me. Not in a fun way. Well, if Vlad needs to write, would
05:21you and Fee want to come over and swim in our pool this weekend? Oh, uh, wow. Yeah, Fee.
05:27Oh, I'm coming to see you. Fee loves the water. Well, maybe someday I'll grill. I could make
05:35you a mocktail. You're so kind to offer. It's just, we have so much to fucking do. We haven't
05:43even fully unpacked, so I can't find the towels, much less our swimsuits. Well, why don't you
05:51think about it, and, God, I am so sorry, but would you excuse me?
06:06White and sweet. Thank you. That's how you like it. I guess you know the hearing is no longer
06:15being delayed. Jesus Christ. Lynn was upset. So John can't be seen with anyone who's not
06:21his wife. Let me think about it, David. It is a little 1984-y. Not really. David's an
06:26Orwell scholar. Lynn found it icky. Icky? The hearing is going to happen this semester.
06:34Thank you for your help. My help. In response to your blackmail over our old emails? Blackmail
06:39is a big word. I did go back and reread them. You did? They were pretty fun. I am fun.
06:51But I got rid of them, and I would appreciate it if you did the same.
06:57I don't know, mister. I think it's a good idea to have something to hold over you so you
07:04don't misbehave.
07:10I scrubbed my inbox of his emails ten years ago. John, can you call me? The hearing
07:19is up, is... Oh! Discovered her greatest departmental amenity. I am not above the pods.
07:31So, what's on the syllabus this week? Rebecca. You familiar? Last night I dreamt I went to
07:40Manderley again. Nice. I love a gothic romance. You know, the fixation, the pining. My wife
07:49always says that... I have a thing for crazy girls.
08:02Well, speaking of Cynthia, could you do me a favor? I invited her and be over to swim on
08:08Sunday. Oh, but... No, I think she's worried about imposing. That's very nice. Uh... Yeah, she, um...
08:16She finds socializing tricky these days. You know, she's got to keep it pretty tight.
08:21Mm-hmm. Well, here's the thing. It'll be the last warm weekend of the year, and the water's
08:28perfect, and, and, and we'll feed them, and I, I think it'll be more nourishing than she
08:33expects. Yeah, we'll be there. No, no, no, sorry. I just, I, I, I, I just invited her.
08:39Oh. Devastating. Oh, oh, no, no, sorry. It's just, she said you needed time to write.
08:44Please, I know when I'm not wanted. Besides, you cannot get distracted. The world is waiting
08:50for your next novel. Yeah, I, I, I don't know about that.
08:53Well, I am. Thank you. Uh, yeah, I'll talk to her.
08:57Wonderful. Thank you. Um, excuse me. Um, oh, God, it's my daughter's partner. I, I, I should
09:03take this. Um, she's a bisexual woman. Great. I'm very proud. Alexis, hi.
09:19Dad, you shouldn't be going in blind. How am I supposed to prepare if I don't have access
09:23to the evidence? You don't? I sent you the report. You should. Yes, the report, but not
09:27the evidence they're using. Sid, you have to understand, this whole thing is a kangaroo
09:32court. Can you use the salad spinner? It ruins the structure. It's a lot of paper towels.
09:39Does this look right? The report is quite extensive. Will you afford it to me? You don't need to
09:45be involved, honey. You have enough going on. I'm literally a lawyer. May I ask why you're
09:49not at work? Uh, no, because I don't want to talk about that. Secrets, yay. I love them, literally.
09:56Stop. Listen, we're having people over this weekend. Who? Cynthia and her daughter to swim.
10:02Who is she? She's a new professor. No, she's not a professor. Oh, be sure to tell her that.
10:06How old's the daughter? Three. So cute. You'll love her. Oh, no, I'm not going to be around.
10:12You're going back to the city? No, I'm staying here indefinitely. I just don't want to be around
10:16for a play date with a three-year-old. You used to love being around kids. Somehow my wonder
10:20dissipated after seeing a buttload of them at Alexa's friend's parties every single weekend.
10:24Oh, sweetie. Excuse me. Do you know what's going on with her? Yes, I do.
10:47Who cares?
10:53Me likey. You make the legs so high cut these days.
10:58You know, it's been reported that Eva Longoria finally embraced the Brazilian wax because
11:03it gave her the ultimate orgasm. What are you trying to say? Just an offering.
11:09What story was said? She can tell you. Why can't you? Because it's her business.
11:15She'll tell you when she's ready. Maybe I like your little pubes. I don't want Sid involved
11:22in the hearing. Do you understand? I understand. And I agree. You run the filter on the pool?
11:27Oh. I feel like we have other things to deal with rather than entertaining.
11:32Cynthia is so interesting. I want to make a new friend. Since when? You haven't made a
11:38friend since 1997. Well, now I want to. Why? It's like a mousy-ass woman married to a toxic
11:45man. I can't relate at all. Hell yeah.
11:47I know this book is misogynist because every book written in 1938 was misogynist, even one
11:54written by a woman. But can't we connect the universality of the story? Rebecca is about
12:02an all-consuming obsession. It's a young woman fixating on her husband's dead wife who's named
12:10Rebecca. It's very relatable. How?
12:15What? You've never Googled your lover's ex? You've never spent time on their Instagram
12:23or whatever social media you use? You've never compared yourself to her style, her body? You've
12:31never fantasized about knowing about their relationship, how they talk together, their private
12:37jokes, how they, dare I say it, made love? Well, that's what this story is about. It's
12:45about the inescapable pull of your lover's lover. I don't have a lover. Well, Lauren, we're
12:51going to have to change that. Hi. Hi.
13:26Hi, Erin.
13:33You know, if Dad loses at the college, there could be a civil suit, and that could affect
13:38you. Oh, my God. There's 36 pages of forms for me to fill out for this dumb appointment.
13:44I mean, why do they need to know if I have a history of mental illness? What are you getting
13:48done? I'm just getting waxed. I thought you couldn't get waxed. Well, they say it's a new
13:53kind, so let's hope for the best. Oh, sweet pea. Just a breakup. I really fucked up.
14:05I cheated on Alexis. With the train man? No. Ask Dad what happened. You tell me. No,
14:13because I don't want you judging me. I promise I won't judge you. No. No. I cheated on Alexis
14:21with an intern from work, and then she got hired, and it got messy, so I left before anything
14:26could happen. And I hated that job anyway, and I can find a new one in two seconds, so
14:30I just don't want to talk about it any further, okay? You quit your job? See, you're judging
14:34me. No, I'm not. I'm not. That is such a lie. So, okay, let's go. Let's go.
14:42You didn't know any of the people. That's students, right?
14:47It's fancy ladies? Not personally. By sight, at the most.
14:53Okay, are you sure? Absolutely.
14:55You didn't have any of them in your classes. Never.
15:20Yes.
15:21Yes. I had one of them in my classes.
15:38Stop biting your nails.
15:48I wanted to apologize for avoiding you.
15:53I shouldn't have got so angry.
15:55Hmm.
15:57You kick my car and call me a bitch.
16:01Sorry.
16:03I was feeling desperate.
16:05It's okay.
16:06What did you want to say?
16:08Okay.
16:10Oh, um, well, yeah, I'm back, obviously.
16:17Uh, now that everything has come out about John, I was just hoping you and I could, like, repair
16:24our relationship.
16:29Fascinating.
16:32Didn't you join the case?
16:33Didn't you join the... the case?
16:35Yeah.
16:37But that's what I wanted to tell you, that that has nothing to do with you.
16:42Lila, that is exactly what I have been saying all along.
16:46Are you still writing?
16:48Not really.
16:50You should.
16:51I'm sorry things have been so hard.
16:54Never feels good to be 29 and moving back in with your mom.
16:57Mm.
16:57I bet.
16:59And it's like, how many times can I take her to get the edema fluid drained before she realizes
17:04it's her responsibility?
17:05Yeah.
17:06She thinks that she's doing me some big favor by asking Trevor to move his biggest humane
17:10chair in my bedroom.
17:11Lila, I hate to do this, but I have to run.
17:13I wish we could talk all day.
17:15I'm so glad we connected, and I am so glad we're on the same page.
17:20Yeah.
17:22I wanted to say I'm sorry about what happened with John.
17:26Thank you for saying that.
17:28I...
17:31I appreciate you taking some responsibility for your actions.
17:39I have to go.
17:41Oh.
17:47Beautiful.
18:12You reach an age when, if you come across a good towel, you don't let it slip away.
18:18Do you sell these?
18:33There is great power in a hand-delivered gift.
18:38Hi.
18:39I just wanted to drop off a little housewarming present.
18:42Hi.
18:43You don't have to talk to me.
18:44I can just hand it over and get on out of here.
18:46Uh, I...
18:47Oh, um, this...
18:49This honey is from my bees.
18:52Did you know that honey is as effective as cough syrup for young children?
18:57It's for Fee.
18:58Oh.
19:00Oh, my God.
19:01That is so nice of you.
19:03These are...
19:03These are gorgeous.
19:05Sorry.
19:07Um...
19:08Did Vlad give you our address?
19:10I got it from the contact sheet.
19:12This is...
19:13This is temporary.
19:14It's, um...
19:15It's kind of a shithole.
19:16Oh, no, no, it's not.
19:18Oh, don't come inside.
19:20Uh, Fee is fine.
19:21I just...
19:22I got...
19:24Paranoid, because...
19:25People are weird about colds, and then I was like, what if they're offended?
19:28I'm very difficult to offend.
19:30Me too.
19:31No, um...
19:33God, I'm...
19:34I'm aware I'm being an asshole.
19:36No, no.
19:37Anyone who's been through half of what you did would be twice the asshole.
19:43What do you mean?
19:43I mean...
19:45I...
19:45Just...
19:46Moving.
19:48A young child.
19:51Um...
19:52I'll, uh...
19:54I'll, uh...
19:55I'll leave you alone.
19:57Um...
20:00This may sound crazy, but I think we'd get along.
20:04I...
20:05I do, too.
20:07Thank you so much for these.
20:09Okay.
20:11Bye.
20:12Bye.
20:33I wonder what domestic politics went into that text message.
20:37So what's this about?
20:40It's about growing up in Florida with Russian immigrant parents.
20:44Oh, he's a naval gazer.
20:46No, it's excellent.
20:48I'm out.
20:49Where are you going?
20:50I'm going to see my friend at Cornell.
20:52I think I'm going to stay the night.
20:53Oh.
20:54What kind of friend?
20:55She's an expert in Title IX.
20:57Sid, I'm serious.
20:58I don't want you involved.
20:59I'm going to take the Volvo.
21:01Be careful.
21:02Why'd you buy lettuce?
21:03I have a bumper crop.
21:04Because I need it as a wrap.
21:06I thought we were grilling.
21:07The steak is grilled.
21:09What are these for?
21:11A mocktail.
21:12A mocktail?
21:13Ugh.
21:15What's happening here?
21:17It's my stupid wax.
21:19I'm inflamed.
21:20It's fine.
21:21It's what I deserve.
21:24Why do you have this?
21:26It got mixed up in my mail.
21:29Looks like a paycheck.
21:30Yes, I will give it to her when she arrives.
21:33Did you get rid of the deer netting?
21:35We're not hosting a wedding.
21:36It's suburban.
21:45Hey-ho.
21:47Hi.
21:48Hi.
21:50It's you.
21:51We don't go near the water unless Daddy's there, right?
21:54And stay away from the bees.
21:56What bees?
21:57What?
21:58You don't keep bees?
21:59No.
21:59Oh.
22:01Is Cynthia not coming?
22:03She has a migraine.
22:05So you'll have to make do with me.
22:07Fee!
22:08Fee!
22:08I told you no running by the pool!
22:11Oh!
22:25Well, I tried.
22:44I need, I need, I need you.
22:51I, I, I, I, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need you.
23:00I need you.
23:04Come on, come on.
23:06I never said I wasn't gonna tell nobody.
23:14You're very sexy, Vladimir.
23:17God.
23:18I know.
23:20How do you come by this physique?
23:22Oh, that's invasive.
23:23It's a nice question.
23:24It's a lovely question.
23:26I don't know.
23:28Grappling wild beasts?
23:29As you do.
23:30Like wrestling bears.
23:32Exactly.
23:33No, I, I go to the gym.
23:35It's like the only thing that I do.
23:38I need the outlet.
23:40Well, it's a healthy outlet.
23:41It sure is.
23:43I'm a simple fellow.
23:44I lift, write, work, eat, fuck.
23:50You wasn't saying that.
23:51John.
23:52It's just a natural progression.
23:54No, but, you know, who were all those writers who had all that time for hobbies?
24:00Like Hemingway and his bullfights.
24:01Oh, well, Hemingway didn't do bedtime.
24:03That is true.
24:05He did miss out on that.
24:07Oh.
24:12I like your smile.
24:18He's just being nice.
24:23Here you are.
24:25Oh, thank you.
24:26And, cheers.
24:28Cheers.
24:31I have a confession.
24:33You do?
24:35Yeah.
24:37I haven't started reading your book yet.
24:41Oh.
24:44No problem.
24:49Hey.
24:51My wife seems to have come across a piece of Cynthia's mail.
24:56Oh, I meant to give it to you.
24:57I think it landed in my box by mistake.
25:00Yeah, it's probably the only way she'll get it.
25:03Never known that woman to check a mailbox.
25:12I worry about her.
25:15You do?
25:17No, Cynthia was, uh, she was hospitalized after the suicide attempt.
25:22Oh.
25:23Yeah, for six months.
25:25She didn't have a mother, just a nanny and me.
25:32But you're together now.
25:35Yeah.
25:36And she's doing all right.
25:38Yeah, much better.
25:39Thank God.
25:45Cynthia doesn't have a migraine.
25:48Oh.
25:49Yeah, we had a fight.
25:50About me?
25:51Uh, no.
25:53No, I, uh, I did something bad.
25:58I'm being a jerk.
25:59Just forget I said anything.
26:00Um, no, no, no.
26:02What's that thing that people say?
26:04Um, marriage is hard.
26:08Divorce is hard.
26:10Choose your heart.
26:20Choose your heart.
26:28Can I get rid of you?
26:29Of course.
26:40Oh, I'm sorry.
26:42Here we are.
26:45Here we are. I'll see you out.
26:55Good night.
27:07You in love?
27:08You in love?
27:17You in love?
27:21You in love?
27:31You in love?
27:33You in love?
27:35You in love?
27:51You in love?
27:54You in love?
28:00You in love?
28:12You in love?
28:19You in love?
28:20Oh, oh.
28:22I'm sorry.
28:27I'm sorry.
28:42You in love?
