Alice, Darling

Hi!

Hey! Sorry I'm late.

No! Rude.

I'm so sorry. No, it's fine.

It's fine.Ladies.

Hey.Hey.

Um, we'll have

a bottle of the chardonnay

and three glasses, please.

Sure. Oh, no. Actually,

a vodka soda for me, thank you.

Uh, the waiter's in love with you.

I mean, I really feel like he does not know

the definition of the word "boundaries."

Yeah, because he sent you, like, 14 dick pics.

Oh, and... he waxes.

Wow.Yeah.

No! Like, the whole...

Really? But why?

I don't know.

Oh. Alice's guy from the swim team?

Okay, we don't have to talk about Dolphin Dave.

I want to have a nice night, thank you very much.

Like, I don't think that shaving his body hair was

gonna make the difference between Olympic trials

or not.

Oh, God.

Sorry.

Okay. Thank you.

Oh, thank you! You're very welcome.

Sophie.

The bottle.

And vodka soda.

Oh.

Yeah, you're welcome.

He's obsessed with you. Sophie, stop.

You don't see it? Don't tell me you don't see it.

I have a boyfriend.

Sophie, leave her alone.

Yes, thank you.

Sorry, it's just Simon.

Um, actually, he has a gallery opening on Friday,

he wanted me to invite both of you guys. Oh!

That'd be great. That... Yeah. Yeah?

Yeah?

Yeah, definitely.

I just know there's, like...

collectors coming and so he was saying

how much he would love to introduce you.

Well, I'm not really working in traditional media anymore.

Oh. That's amazing, that's awesome.

It's new, we'll see.

Yeah. Uh...

Well, cheers.

Cheers.

Good to see you. You too.

Okay, so, for my birthday... Yes.

No. No, no. Your 30th.

We were thinking the three of us could go

to my parents' house up north.

Don't worry, Don and Sylvie are in Florida,

so they will not be gate-crashing the party.

Okay. You're gonna come, right?

You gotta come, it's gonna be fun. And I demand it.

I will definitely see.

Oh.I should just go soon.

Hello?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I didn't think you'd be so jumpy.

How was your night?

I liked your picture.

Just one, huh? We were at dinner!

Well, we're home now.

Oh, you must be feeling bad this morning.

Feeling bad?

I'm feeling good, but I didn't

go hard on the cocktails last night.

I did not go...

Never just a quiet night with them two, is it?

No.

Do you want a cardamom bun

or a Danish?

I thought we were cutting back on sugar.

Well, we are, but, you know,

we're good all through the week,

we can treat ourselves every once in a while,

can't we?

Okay, whatever looks good.

Excuse me, can I just get two coffees...

Yeah, it just came up.

Just came up.

Just came up.

Do you remember that sales thing?

Well, I think it'd be bad if I missed it.

Oh, so Colleen texted me.

Okay. Good to see you, take care, bye!

Yeah, it just came up.

They never remember me in there.

Like, I come in here every week,

it wouldn't kill them to say hello.

They're so weird in there.

Okay, what do you want?

Danish looks all right.

It looks like fresh out of the oven.

Oh, so Colleen texted me

this morning about that sales thing,

Do you remember this thing I told you about?

Well, anyway, it turns out now they do need me to go.

Why?

Just, I came up, I guess.

I mean, it's gonna be boring, you know?

A trip to Minneapolis,

but I think it'd be bad if I missed it.

I guess you just give me the impression

that you didn't really care about that job.

I think you can do better than that.

A blank canvas can be intimidating.

How do you get started?

Uh, experimentation, you know.

Well, you know, I try to be free with it.

I just... I'm boring myself.

I show everything to Alice at a very early stage.

Oh, I'll be right back.

Hi! Oh, my God.

Oh, God, I feel like a potato.

You couldn't be a potato.

You look nice, though.

Oh, yeah. Simon got it for me.

It's expensive.

Uh, where's Tess, I thought you were gonna come together?

Um, so, she's...

Okay, she's not coming.

It's just... yeah, she said she would,

so I put her on the list, and I... I know.

Please don't be mad at her. No, I'm...

It's fine, it's fine. You know what she's like

when it comes to work stuff. I know.

She gets all in her head and...

you know. I'm sorry.

It's fine. Hey!

Hi, Sophie. Hi!

Thank you! Oh, my God, I need this.

You learn pretty quick

that the non-profit world,

it attracts nearly as many narcissists and sociopaths

as, like, the corporate sector does, so...

Well, I think that what you do is amazing.

I do, I do. I think it's incredible.

It's like a million times more important

than any of this, but... Oh, my God.

Thanks for coming anyway.

Stop it, this is amazing.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Thank you for inviting me.

I hope it's a huge success.

I'm so glad you could make it,

it's great to see you.

Thank you.

Hey!

Mmm.

Mini pork bun? Oh, I'm fine.

You sure? I'm fine.

Alice, Uber's here. I'm sorry we didn't

get to hang out all night. It's okay.

It's a big night for him.

So,

you are gonna come to the cottage, right? I promise, I promise.

Alice! I'll see you tomorrow,

good night. I love you. Come on.

Let's go! Goodnight. Love you, too.

It was a complete fucking train wreck.

No one even showed up.

There were, like, a hundred people there.

I'm talking about important people.

You still don't understand this business.

It's cutthroat.

If people aren't coming to your shows,

it's because you're washed up.

You have to be the best

or you're nothing.

You are the best.

You are to me.

Oh, my love. I wish you could see what I see.

My perfectionist.

You're so brilliant.

You're amazing.

Hey.

Hmm.

Hey! Thank you.

Sophie, um, can you pull over?

You okay?

Fuck. Sorry, guys.

You okay? Yeah.

- Oh, God. - Oh, no.

I shouldn't have looked at my phone, it's my bad.

You're all right.

All right. TESS: I want birthday pancakes

with real syrup.Okay.
