Alone with You

I love you.

I love you, Charlie.

I love you.

Are you scared?

I'm scared, too.

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, I love you, Charlie.

Charlie, I love you.

I love you, Charlie.

Charlie girl, that shoot was insane,

but I'm finally on a flight.

I'm gonna need a drink when I get home, or 17.

Oh shit, we're taking off.

Happy anniversary, baby.

I love you.

See you tonight.

Oh!

God.

Simone?

Babe?

Hey Barker.

Your mom will be home soon.

Oh.

Hey, it's Simone and you are apparently

someone who still leaves voicemails.

Kind of weird.

No one does that anymore.

How retro.

Hey, it's me.

I can't wait till you get home. Can you tell?

Sorry, I just, uh, want to make sure you're on your way.

I thought I heard you come in

and I got really excited, but, anyway,

I tracked your flight and it said you got in on time,

so I hope Philly was good, and the shoot.

Maybe I can be on the next one.

You know, I've been working on my airbrushing

while you've been gone, so anyway...

Happy anniversary, babe.

I'll see you soon. Okay, bye.

Oh, god.

Barker! God.

Uh Simone, could you...

Oh.

For the photo shoot.

I mean, come on, right? It's good.

It's really good.

Oh, look, it's so fucked up.

Can you imagine being done here at dark?

It's gonna scare the shit out of me.

I can't wait, I'm so stoked.

Girl.

Get to the bar and make bad decisions with me.

Right meow.

Right now, do it now.

Right now, okay?

You know what? Fuck this.

I'm calling you.

- Hello? - Uh, hello.

Yo!

The Trap. First round's on me.

Get yo shit, girl.

Are you sure it's the first round?

Whatever, your first round.

Don't fucking judge me.

I would never.

- But I can't tonight. - Why?

I'm waiting for Simone. Tonight's our-

Oh, god!

Why am I not surprised?

Oh, yeah. That's right.

It's because you wait on her

like it's your full time fucking job.

It's all you do these days, dude.

Come on. You used to be fun.

Remember? Fun.

Hm.

Hello?

Yeah, I'm still here.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, but like low key,

you know that I'm fucking right.

Like, all you do is like cry

and complain about that bitch.

Don't call her that.

I can call her whatever the fuck I want.

I've known her longer.

Remember?

Thea, it's our anniversary tonight, okay?

Which you would know if you ever listened to me.

- Hey, I- - And I don't wanna

hear anything negative about the woman I love.

I don't think that's too much to ask, do you?

Oh, okay. All right.

So where is the woman that you love right now, huh?

She is on her way home.

There was a shoot she couldn't pass up

and it was a great opportunity so she did it

and she's on her way home right now.

Yeah, see, that's exactly what I'm fucking talking about.

She's never home.

She's always somewhere else.

You're always alone.

And wait, why didn't she ask you

to come with her on this shoot?

If it's such a good fucking opportunity,

why is she hiring some fucking hack makeup artist

- out of fucking Pittsburgh? - Philly.

Whatever. It's all gross.

Listen, I know that I introduced you two, and quite frankly,

I kick myself for that on like a regular fucking basis.

Thea, cut it out.

I, dude, like, I'm glad you're having fun.

Oh my god, mom, really?

You're becoming a little butterfly

and spreading your wings.

I just wish that you hadn't moved in with that bitch.

Am I not being clear?

I don't want to hear this.

I'm just saying. Watch your back, girl.

I know the shit that she fucking puts people through.

Yeah, fucking Simone.

Her reputation precedes her.

I don't even have to say her name

and people already know who I'm talking about, yeah.

You know who I'm talking about.

Davey, you definitely know who I'm fucking talking about.

She's sadistic.

Yeah, I know.

You have told me like 20 goddamn times.

Okay.

Sorry.

Truce.

I'm not trying to hurt your fucking feelings, I just,

I have your back.

I'm always gonna have your back.

And I don't really think telling you the fucking truth

and telling you to open your eyes

- makes me a bad friend. - Simone and I are fine.

She's on her way home right now and now my...

Charlie don't do this.

Don't get all pissed off and hang up.

Come on. Don't be lame.

Look, I will talk to you tomorrow, okay?

Have fun.

Fine, bitch.

Bye.

Bye.

Shit.

Hi mom.

Oh.

Mom.

I can't hear...

Yeah, I ca...

I can't hear you.

Yeah, mom, just click, click on the...

Oh my god.

Yeah, mom.

Down.

Uh huh.

- And to the le- - That's it.

Can you hear me now?

Yes, I can hear you.

Hi Char.

Hi.

I never used this thing, but um,

I thought it would be nice to see one another.

It's been so long.

Yeah. Hi.

So how is everything?

Must be so many distractions up there.

Are you still doing your little makeup projects?

Uh, yep.

I'm working as a professional makeup artist

and things are going really well, actually.

Oh Charlene, I didn't mean anything by that, really.

- No, it's fine. - I mean...

No, no, no, no, no. No.

You were always so good at that

and I'm glad that people are appreciating what you can do.

And you're doing what you love.

Well, thank you.

I remember when you were little,

you used to put makeup on every doll

and stuffed animal that we ever gave you.

Do you remember that?

I'd come into your room and there'd be magic marker

all over them and blue eyeshadow and,

and rosy red cheeks and red lipstick.

You had the fanciest dolls in town.

Yeah, I guess I did.

I totally forgot about that until right now.

Yeah.

I...

It's good to see you.

It's good to see you, too, Charlene.

I like that lipstick color you're wearing.

What's that?

Oh no.

I'm drinking red wine. They're just stained.
