00:00:21I
00:00:23I picked the best book.
00:00:25One at a time.
00:00:27I swear you guys are harder to wrangle than a bunch of brokers at an over-served open house.
00:00:31All right.
00:00:32Kill me, kill me now.
00:00:34First to rank everything that we've gone through so far,
00:00:35I would say The World at Midnight was the fourth best book that we've read all year.
00:00:38Well, maybe four.
00:00:40I disagree.
00:00:41Rosemary, so one-dimensional.
00:00:43No redeeming qualities.
00:00:44Uh, Henry was even worse.
00:00:46What possessed you to choose this book, Alice?
00:00:48Must have been the abstract cover art.
00:00:50It was the second best cover art this year.
00:00:51I could see The Ending coming from 30 miles away, please.
00:00:55Okay, okay.
00:00:55Everybody stop.
00:00:59About all I can stomach.
00:01:01Oh, come on, guys.
00:01:03Are we even reading the same book?
00:01:05Uh, I read four chapters in the last eight pages.
00:01:08You're welcome.
00:01:09Guys, no.
00:01:10This author's 23 years old.
00:01:13Uh-huh.
00:01:13This is her first book.
00:01:14Okay, yes.
00:01:15It does start a little slow in the beginning.
00:01:18But, oh, get to page 215.
00:01:20It's just brilliant.
00:01:21I stopped reading it.
00:01:22Page 214.
00:01:23Oof, one page shy of pure brilliance.
00:01:27All right, look, maybe I'll read it again.
00:01:29I won't.
00:01:30Sorry, Alice.
00:01:31Hard pass for me.
00:01:32You know, I have to admit, though, the way the killer was revealed in World at Midnight,
00:01:36pretty clever.
00:01:37Blew me away.
00:01:38Not me.
00:01:38I knew it was her all along.
00:01:40But, Arsenic, it's so Phil Noir.
00:01:43It was a little odd.
00:01:45We're having it in her purse.
00:01:46Well, I keep rap poisoning on me at all times.
00:01:48Don't you?
00:01:49I just have it right here.
00:01:50Look, the book was charming.
00:01:52It was just not very believable.
00:01:53Come on.
00:01:54A group of misfits coming together to form some sort of society?
00:01:58Really?
00:01:58What?
00:01:59That coming from a member of a book club comprised of ex-felons?
00:02:02Oh, whatever.
00:02:03Listen, guys, I'll take you ex-felon misfits over any law-abiding citizen any day.
00:02:09I second that.
00:02:10To the fallen angels, may we continue to spread our wings and soar.
00:02:16To the fallen angels.
00:02:17To the fallen angels.
00:02:31Hey, drinks on you?
00:02:33I swear, every time I go out to a bar with you, I always end up sitting alone.
00:02:38Boo, boo, boo.
00:02:39Can I help it if I'm so irresistible?
00:02:41I can't.
00:02:44Hey, let's do a hot dog again.
00:02:46Who?
00:02:48I think they're having an affair.
00:02:50No way.
00:02:51Abby and Michael are the perfect couple.
00:02:53Uh-huh.
00:02:53You and your ex were perfect, too, until he set you up for an epic fall.
00:02:58Hey, what are you two so hushed about?
00:03:02Rory's just bragging about his new house.
00:03:04Again.
00:03:05I keep telling him I could have gotten him more for his money.
00:03:08Speaking of which, drinks and cigars at my place, huh?
00:03:11Who's down?
00:03:12If there's some kind of snacks, you can count me in.
00:03:14You had me at drinks.
00:03:16I'm sorry, Rory.
00:03:17I'm going to have to pass.
00:03:19You got paralegal stuff, petition stuff?
00:03:21Yes.
00:03:22Just stay for an hour.
00:03:23Alice, that's all.
00:03:24It won't be any formal without you.
00:03:27Please?
00:03:27Please?
00:03:28Pretty please?
00:03:29Would you agree on that?
00:03:30You're such a baby.
00:03:32Okay.
00:03:33One hour.
00:03:33Ah.
00:03:34One hour.
00:03:35Yes.
00:03:35That's it.
00:03:36I love you.
00:03:36You know that?
00:03:37You do.
00:03:37I mean, I do.
00:03:38I really do.
00:03:39Oh, my.
00:03:40Stay up to the sun.
00:03:41I love you.
00:03:44Stay up to the sun.
00:03:46Oh.
00:03:48One.
00:03:48Three.
00:03:49Two.
00:03:50One.
00:03:52Angels.
00:03:54Did you?
00:03:55All right.
00:03:55No, that's good.
00:03:56Okay, you have to send me that.
00:03:57Oh, send it to everybody.
00:03:58And Jeffrey.
00:03:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:59Yeah.
00:04:00I'll send it to you.
00:04:00Okay.
00:04:00Okay, listen, before you guys toss back too many brandies, let me just say, I got security
00:04:06cameras everywhere, so don't get any ideas.
00:04:07No, we don't.
00:04:08Oh.
00:04:09That's good.
00:04:10Look, seriously, I know you guys think I'm over the top sometimes.
00:04:12Oh, no, no, no.
00:04:13Why would we think that?
00:04:14The reason I invited you here is not to show off what I have, but to show you what's possible.
00:04:21We fought like heck to get our lives back.
00:04:24We're kicking butt.
00:04:25Gene, your blog's got thousands of subscribers.
00:04:29Indeed.
00:04:30Reena, your clothing line is growing internationally.
00:04:34Abby, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have even begun to look at multi-million dollar properties.
00:04:40Now, pretty soon, you're going to be able to take the bar.
00:04:43Your Honor, I don't object.
00:04:47Uh, Miller?
00:04:48Yeah.
00:04:50Miller, you're the smartest S.O.B. I know.
00:04:55And I don't care what anybody says.
00:04:57You jerks are the best jerks I know.
00:05:01And I wouldn't want anybody else in my corner.
00:05:06I love you guys.
00:05:08Cheers.
00:05:09Ah, love you too.
00:05:14Hey, Diamond Kroon Limited.
00:05:16$30,000 a box.
00:05:18Most expensive cigars you can buy.
00:05:20Okay, dude, I hate cigars.
00:05:21I'm going to get some air.
00:05:23Well, you know, give it to your boss.
00:05:25Hell, you know, sell it and buy yourself a nice pair of shoes.
00:05:29Did you really spend $30,000 on a box of smelly cigars?
00:05:33Hmm.
00:05:34That's what they cost.
00:05:36But not what I paid for them.
00:05:40Oh.
00:05:55Oh, let me show you the latest edition of my collection.
00:05:58I got this piece for a song.
00:06:00The artist fell in hard times.
00:06:02Died south of net zero.
00:06:04Family didn't know what they had.
00:06:09I need to get this.
00:06:11Okay, um, drink up.
00:06:13I'll be right back.
00:06:14All right.
00:06:15Oh, hey, Miller.
00:06:17Be careful.
00:06:18Fresh coat of custom oil paint.
00:06:19Takes forever to dry.
00:06:21He told me.
00:06:23Hello?
00:06:26Okay, I would not have put this place in Rory's snack bracket.
00:06:30I mean, it's got to be seven figures, right, Abby?
00:06:34What business is that of yours, Jean?
00:06:36Oh, please.
00:06:38Knowledge is power, as you very well know.
00:06:43Oh, speaking of knowledge, I'd love to know how Rory keeps up with it all.
00:06:47You know, the houses, the cars, the new girlfriends every three months.
00:06:52No, no, no, no.
00:06:52Three months is probably all they can take.
00:06:54Rory's exhausting.
00:06:56Yeah, well, all that charm can't tire a girl out.
00:06:59Charm and designer rubs.
00:07:00Yes.
00:07:01Yes.
00:07:01Well, whatever's going on with him at the moment seems pretty heated.
00:07:07Do you think it's business or pleasure?
00:07:09Well, it's Rory.
00:07:10Business is pleasure.
00:07:12No, no, no.
00:07:13You need to live in to me, okay?
00:07:16No, but then it...
00:07:18Cheers.
00:07:19Well, what do you expect me to do?
00:07:22World at Midnight to be continued tomorrow.
00:07:25Yes.
00:07:25To quote Rosemary, might as well beat it till it's dead.
00:07:28I'll see you later.
00:07:30Thank you for having me.
00:07:33Good night.
00:07:37Rory.
00:07:39Drive safe now.
00:07:41Oh, boy.
00:07:42Somebody had fun.
00:07:45Yeah, you sure had fun tonight.
00:07:47Yeah, I did.
00:07:48I sure did.
00:07:49Careful now.
00:07:50Yep, I got it.
00:07:52Well, well, well.
00:07:54Everybody just loves your book, hmm?
00:07:56I know, right?
00:07:59I, uh, thought you had to leave.
00:08:02You know, I was looking at these cigars.
00:08:05I've seen these before, like, a few years back.
00:08:10And I remember them because my friend who had them wasn't really a cigar smoker.
00:08:18And he definitely couldn't afford $30,000 cigars.
00:08:23But his was in, like, you know, a regular box, though, not a fancy humidor.
00:08:31What'd you say you got these?
00:08:32They were a gift.
00:08:33Oh.
00:08:36I guess someone in Philly likes giving away $30,000 cigars, huh?
00:08:45Sorry.
00:08:46Oh, okay.
00:08:47No.
00:08:49Hey, you can call me ten times if you like.
00:08:52But it doesn't change anything.
00:08:53Those are my terms, all right?
00:08:55No, no.
00:08:56I hold the cards here.
00:09:07Well, I better get going.
00:09:09Yeah.
00:09:10Yeah.
00:09:42Listen, Hollis.
00:09:44I know you're still bitter about what your husband did to you.
00:09:47And I'm sure you have a lot of unanswered questions.
00:09:49But at some point, you have to move on with your life.
00:09:53You have to move on to some great mystery from your past.
00:09:59Something suggests a coincidence.
00:10:01Nothing more.
00:10:03Let it go.
00:10:04Wait a minute.
