[Knocking on the door]
- Hey... - Hi!
So how was your flight?
How was any flight? It was time spent trapped in a tin can 30,000 feet in the air.
It was fun!
- Wine ? - God, yes!
- Welcome home. - Thank you
- Hmm. So, tell me. Who is she? - What?
Lunch today. Who was it with?
How do you even know I was with a girl?
Cause it took you forever to answer and your voice got all funny the way it does when..
- you're around someone new and exciting - God, am I really that transparent?
Babe to me you're naked most of the time, so yes.
Well, if you must know, I was out with a girl.
And... yes, she's new and yes, she's exciting but she's a friend, nothing more.
A new and exciting beautiful friend.
Beautiful! 'Sounds friendly!
God, why do I even let you into in my home?
Because you love me. And because you need someone to call you on your shit.
Friends, my ass, Sera. What's the problem? Is she taken?
Oooh, sweetie!
You know, it's not even... really that important. I mean... It doesn't really matter.
I met her a few days ago at Jeri and Casey's engagement party. No big deal!
Your face tells a different story.
Oh! And Jeri and Casey! What the heck! I mean: why are they getting married?
They've been fine all these years without making it government-approved.
Not this again. Gwen, some people actually find marriage romantic and necessary.
No! Society tells us that it is necessary and anything less is not as meaningful, and that's crap!
Besides, until gay marriage is recognized everywhere, then what's the point?
Can we not debate this again?
And focus on the fact that our friends are doing something that make them happy.
Fine!
You're right!
Besides, if they get divorced, then I have at least a new client!
- Ever the optimist! - Hm, hm
- So, back to your new crush. - God! It's not a crush!
- The fact that you so vehemently deny the word... - Okay.
Stop!
Yes, she's... [sigh]
intriguing. And I'd love to explore. But like I said, she's...
with someone.
She's in a relationship, completely unavailable to be with, you know...
And... ?
And she's with someone. I'm not like you, Gwen. That kind of thing means something to me.
I'm gonna let that one go.
Because I never cheated on you or anyone else for that matter.
But I do know that "with someone" doesn't always mean "happily with someone".
I know.
The bending is the same as trying to break way.
I don't do anything that anyone doesn't want me to do in the first place.
We all make choices, we are only responsible for our own, not anyone else's.
And... can we not talk about this stuff anymore please?
I missed you
I really am sorry she's taken!
I know
I only want you to be happy
- Only ever wanted you to be happy - I know. I want you to be happy too.
Let's get more comfortable and finish this wine...
I think I still have airline seat embedded in my back.
- Hey, baby. - Hey.
- How was your day? - Same old, same old...
- You? - Good. I had lunch with Sera today.
Oh! And how is she doing?
Well, she had a bit of a thing tonight, so I hope that she is okay.
Hoo! Bit of a thing!
Yeah. Her ex.
Well, she calls her her best friend which I don't totally understand.
I think there's still some feelings there.
Weren't there always. I mean, lots of people are friends with their exes
Yeaaaaah but... best friends? Isn't it a little weird?
Sweetie... Look, just because you've never managed to maintain a friendship with anyone you've dated, doesn't make it weird!
I mean, look at me. I'm friends with lots of my exes.
Two! "Two" is not "lots".
Well, it's better than your record.
Anyway, why does it matter if she's friends with her ex?
It doesn't. I was just... worried. She seemed a bit nervous or something.
You're too sensitive sometimes.
Yeah, you're... you're probably right.
Well, of course I'm right. I am always right!
Right?
Now I'm gonna go have a shower. Okay?
When is dinner gonna be ready?
'Should be ready in about twenty.
Good
