Come Into Your Own

Lirim, I'll be done in a bit.

I thought you weren't home till later?

Yeah, I only had a few accounts left to tackle

Decided to come home, finish work here before we head to Terrance and Sam's.

Taylor, where's my cardboard?

Where I have continuously asked you to place it when you leave.

So what'd you get?

Merlot.

Of course.

Well, it's user friendly.

It's the safe choice.

We're having artichoke lasagna tonight.

You should have got the Sangiovese.

Well, we can go back and get one?

No, no, no. It's my fault. Information you were unaware of.

Are you sure?

Babe.

Merlot is fine.

I'm gonna' jump in the shower, you wanna' join?

-What... Right now? -Yeah, we have ten minutes.

Lirim.

Tick, tick.

Hey babe, do you have a cough suppressant? I'm feeling a little scratchy.

-No... -God, the last thing I need right now is to come down with something.

I saw the Beltracchi exhibit!

I mean, we start publicity packages next week for three different companies and I'm getting sick right now, this is fantastic.

I saw the original forgeries.

Hey babe, get my back.

Yeah, yeah, okay, good.

Okay, turn around, I'm gonna', I'm gonna' get you.

-Alright, let's go. -Ah wait--

Hello, Hello.

-Hello newlywed, good to see you. -Welcome you two.

Looking good.

Likewise. Come in, come in.

Sam, honey.

Merlot, lovely, thank you.

Well it is user friendly.

I love the picture-

The picture is how I pick all my wines-

I like the picture, I like the wine.

Then people think you're cultured and no one knows your secret.

Well, now I know your secret.

Shhh, shhh, shhh ,shhh.

-Hey you two. -Hey good to see ya'.

-Good to see you too. -Looking good.

-Hi. -Hi.

Oh here, let me take your things.

Yeah, sure.

And I hope you too are ready because the food just finished.

Um, Terrance, would you mind helping me?

No, no. Let me. Let me grab that wine Terrance.

-What are we doing? -Okay, Great.

Wanna' see the house?

Oh, the food looks fantastic.

Aye!

Thank you.

Here, you can open the wine.

Sam.

Uh-huh?

-Sam... -Yeah.

We landed Morganstalk and Co. this afternoon. We start finance packets this week for them.

-Oh my gosh, congratulations! -I know, I know!

Oh my gosh! K, send me the numbers and I'll write you up a spread sheet.

No, Monday, Monday.

Anyway, how's the newlywed lifestyle going?

Terrible.

I've um, gained fifteen pounds and Terrance does nothing but drink and screw me.

Sounds fantastic, I'm jealous.

Don't be.

Oh, here, try this.

What do you think? As good as it looks?

Better.

Sam, I have to say, that wedding was gorgeous. Everything that I would ever dream of.

Thank you.

Oh, and how are you and Lirim?

We're great, we couldn't be better.

Great.

Uh...

I know everyone says it, but, I never expected it to be this good.

You know how it is?

Finding the person that you're gonna' be with for the rest of your life.

Aren't we blessed?

Yeah, and capitalism gives everyone an equal opportunity to forge their own bank accounts.

I mean, its also necessary to note that qualification is important when it comes to establishing competitive commerce.

-Absolutely, if I'm gonna' hire you to manage my finances, you better have an idea. -Mhmm.

Exactly, and that is the most important thing, qualification. Why are you the best?

Right, like, why should I hire you?

And there's such a lack of understanding of the importance of value circulation.

The more that goes around, comes around.

Yeah be competitive, there's always money to be earned.

Right, society created the value attached to the dollar we trade

So now it's up to society to adapt and keep up with that standard it set.

And that's why I love you baby.

You two disgust me.

Oh, you know what would have been great?

A Sangiovese.

Alright, enough talk about money.

Let's talk about you two.

Are there any wedding bells in your near future?

Absolutely, you know, when the time is right, finances and all the other adult stuff.

And... and we haven't really discussed it

-It's a huge step as you both know... -Right but when you know you know.

I mean I thought it was gonna' be so much harder to say yes to him, but

I was shocked at how easy it was.

It really is a weight that's lifted when it's all said and done.

Well

How about you two just worry about making us uncles and we'll make sure you get an invitation.

-Bye. -Thank you so much for your hospitality.

It was so good to see you.

-I'll see you Monday right? -Yes, absolutely, don't forget to send me those numbers.

Of course, of course.

-It was nice meeting you sweet heart. -Thank you.

-It was a pleasure, absolute pleasure. -Bye.

-See ya. -Ok bye, get home safe.

Mhmm.

-Are you safe to drive? -One hundred percent.

So what do you conclude?

-'Bout what? -Terrance and Sam.

Oh they're great, I'm really happy for them.

You know when I first met Terrance I thought he was gay.

He is.

Stop.

So what do you think about what they said?

What specifically, they talked about a lot?

Well, about marriage and families and knowing when you know.

What are you getting at?

Look, I know we said we'd talk about marriage once we're more comfortable financially

And, yeah, our twenties are our selfish years

But work's going great for both of us

And I don't know, I guess it just hit me tonight what they said about knowing when you know.

I feel that this would be a fantastic conversation to have tomorrow when I'm not drunk.

Please, you hardly drank anything.

I am so drunk.

Lirim?

I'm serious, are we not ready?

No.

They're right.

When you know, you know.

Good.

Well, I'm glad we're on the same page Lirim 'Cuz I know that I love you.

I mean, let's just go out on a whim here, move away, you could save the world, I'll handle the finances.

Becoming and idealist are you?

Yeah, you're right.

Not in my reality.

But that's what I love about you.

You know, me, I handle people's money.

I'm boring.

I know that.

You always seem to have both feet on the ground but

Manage to keep your head in a cloud.

Yeah.

Mhmm.

-Hey, Blair. -Hey Lirim.

Is anyone here yet?

Not really, but Sam wants you to look up these locations.

Hey Ted, do you have a phone charger?

-What kind? -iPhone.

Oh I'm sorry brother, I'm strictly a droid user

I like the cross platform nature, it makes the phone more flexible.

Oh shit, how did you destroy that screen?

Oh I don't know, it's not mine. I found it on the way here.

Oh man, whoever lost that is shitting brinks I guarantee you, I know I would be.

Hey, do you ever see those facebook posts with the fabricated statistic And the quotes that say things like:

"Why don't you put your phone down every once in a while and talk to an actual human being the results may surprise you."

And little smiley emoji faces?

Man, give me a break right?

I mean, I need my phone.

It's a technological age, do you hear me bro? Right?

Yeah, alright, right on.

-Okay. -Sorry I couldn't help you more.

Na, no problem.

Oh, but I bet there's a shit ton of nudes on there in which case do not send me any, because that would be creepy.

What if it's a guys phone?

Oh, dick pics are more your territory, so if you find that shit on there do not send them my way k?

It's okay to explore your options Ted.

I got nothin against the gays. You guys do who and what you gotta do. I'm just not gay.

-Well, are you gay? -No.

Does your mom know you're gay?

No.

C'mon Ted, that was like third grade.

Hey, you know what this phone mystery is like

It's like Sherlock Holmes right

Like, I'm Holmes and you're Watson, only less homoerotic.

I was thinking more like Cinderella and her missing stiletto and I'm the prince.

Oh my god, you're so gay.

Well if the shoe fits.

You know, the actual story of Cinderella is not glamorous at all

What if this phone belongs to my one true love and upon our meeting

We stare deep and long into each other's eye's and just know?

Okay. C-C-Cut it out, you go write your Cinderfella fan fiction down at the library

Hey, aren't you gay dating some guy named Connor or something?

-Taylor. -Yeah, Taylor.

Well, Taylor would not be very happy to know that you got your eye's on some other prince

You might become the boyfriend formally know as...

-Well, it's okay to fantasize Ted. -Good point.

One time back in High School, I was dating may first girlfriend Sabrina Miller and

Things were going kind of slow

So I have to admit

Janessa Velasquez occupied most of my alone time.
