The first 200 lines.
This heat wave expected
to continue for at least another three days.
Stay cool however you can and make sure
you're drinking lots of water.
Happy birthday, bear.
Wake up.
Surprise.
Make a wish.
You didn't have to do that.
- Don't get too excited, they're whole wheat.
Yikes.
Mm, yikes.
Ta-da!
What is this?
You already got me the trip to Miami.
It's just a little something.
You know, for inspiration while you're writing.
Open it.
Oh, thanks, tiger.
You like it?
Yeah, it's really cool.
Good.
Hey, guess what I started taking this morning?
What?
The prenatal vitamins.
- I thought we weren't gonna start trying 'til September.
Yeah, that's next month.
Oh, right.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Wait, can you just lie down here for a second.
- I'm late for the photo shoot, remember?
And you should actually start packing soon for your flight.
I left you the shirt for Carol's wedding in the bathroom
so just don't forget it.
Okay.
Wait, can I just smell you before you go?
Mm.
You sure you don't wanna just come with me now?
I can't, baby.
It's just two weeks.
It'll go by fast, okay?
Diego. - Hm?
Happy birthday.
I love you.
I love you.
Call me when you get in, okay?
- Okay. - Okay.
How ya doin'?
Welcome.
- Hey, checking in for Diego Diaz.
Okay.
Hey Vanessa.
Okay, you're all set, sir.
Here's your room key.
Thanks.
- Hello? - Hey.
Hey. You there?
Just checked in.
So, how is it?
It's great.
You picked a good one.
They got a pool and everything.
- So, what's your plans for the rest of the day?
I don't know.
Was thinkin' about maybe callin' Dave,
maybe goin' out tonight.
Or maybe just laying low so I can
wake up fresh tomorrow and write.
- Bear, I'm sorry I couldn't be there
with you on your birthday.
It's okay.
How'd your shoot go?
Good...
Oh, can we talk later?
That's actually Callie calling.
Yeah, I'll call you later.
Okay.
Ciao, Chulita.
Adios, guapo.
Happy birthday.
What's up?
How you doin'?
Good.
It's casual, but...
Oh, this is Miami casual.
Want a cerveza?
Sure.
Oh, this is a nice place you got here.
Yeah, Mariana hooked it up.
Where is Mariana?
- She's coming next weekend for Carol's wedding.
You remember Carol, right?
- Yeah, that was that blonde, right?
No, Mariana's ex-roommate.
Oh yeah, that's right.
Let's have a toast to your 30th birthday, my friend.
- Thank you. - Salut.
So, what you doing nowadays?
- I'm working at a hedge fund right now
that Mariana's dad hooked me up with.
It's cool.
It's keeping Mariana off my back
and I'm making three times more than I was waiting tables,
but they want me to climb the corporate ladder
and take my series 7.
- So what kind of medication is that?
Exactly.
So I came down a few days early to finish my book.
- Yeah, yeah, the brothers from queens.
That's the one.
Well, that's blade.
It's time to go, my friend.
Already?
Let's down it.
Cheers.
Hey.
Hey, dude.
Dude, wake up.
Looks like you're gonna need some of this.
You can get pretty fried out here.
Thanks.
Rough night?
You could say that.
I'm Vanessa.
Diego.
That's okay.
So, you in town visiting?
I saw you yesterday with your luggage.
- Yeah, a little summer vacation.
Sweet.
Where are you from?
New York.
- Oh, that explains your pastiness.
Where are you from?
Oh, no, I live here, yeah.
I actually work at the bar here at the hotel.
Just came by to pick something up.
Thought you needed a little rescuing.
- Thanks. - Mm-hm.
Oh, keep it.
I've got plenty.
See ya around.
See ya.
Fuck.
Hey.
You again.
Hey.
- Didn't your mom ever teach you not to shop
on an empty stomach?
- Didn't your mom ever teach you not to stalk people?
Thanks for saving my life earlier.
Ooh, are you sure about that?
Ouch.
No.
- So, I know you got enough food to last you a lifetime,
but I'm having a little dinner party at my place
if you wanna come by.
- Thanks, but I got a lot of work to get done
before my wife gets into town, so...
All right.
In case you change your mind.
Alrighty then.
See ya.
Dude.
Diego!
- See ya. - See ya.
You made it.
- Yeah. - It's perfect timing.
Everybody, this is Diego.
Mauricio from college.
And this is Giaco.
- Giaco. - Diego.
- Dortea. - Diego.
- And Lance from my music video days.
Diego, nice to meet you.
Let's get you a drink.
All right.
Sorry for the half bottle.
Are you kidding?
It's perfect.
It's a pretty nice place.
You live here by yourself?
- I'm house sitting for a friend.
He's away on business, so...
I didn't think you were gonna make it.
I was tryin' to be good.
But you can be good tomorrow.
Yeah.
Where's the bathroom?
- Just right through those doors.
Hi.
Hey, tiger.
Sorry, I saw that I missed your call.
It's okay.
Where are you?
- Dave's friend's having a get together.
Oh, cool.
Did you get a lot of writing done today?
Yeah, I did.
