The L.A. Complex

Abby: Previous on "the L.A. Complex":

Nick: Look, if you guys have any constructive criticism,

I'd love to hear it.

You should quit.

Nick: There's this girl I'm kind of in love with right now,

But she wants to keep it casual.

The casual stuff, that's my bit.

Uh, no it's not!

We came up with that bit together

When we were in bed!

I'm gonna burn your life down.

Connor: How come we're not good together?

Raquel: Who says that?

We do.

Kal: Look, I know I want youwith me.

I want to build a life, just us.

Dynasty: Hey, Kal.

What the hell are you doing?! Kal?!

Faggot!

Abby: Are you okay? Connor: Not really.

Abby: What's wrong? Connor: I'm not good enough.

Stohn: Have you lost your mind?!

Rook: He was defendin' himself!

Stohn: Defending himself?

You felt your life was being threatened,

Is that it?

Rook: The little queer tried to kiss him!

What'd he expect was gonna happen?

Pretty sure he didn't expect that!

Rook: Well, you provoke a wild dog, you gonna get bit!

Stohn: Mr. King's not a pit bull!

He's a public figure with a criminal record

Who is currently out on parole in the state of california!

Rook: It's not like the kid is dead!

If this kid talks to the cops,

He's going back to jail.

That's all there is to it!

So we find him first,

And we make sure he knows what happens to people

When they talk.

Absolutely not!

Me and kal have been friends our whole lives,

And been through a hell of a lot worse,

So I think I know how to make our little problem go away.

What are you going to do to this kid

That you haven't already done?!

Don't answer that!

We need to get him to sign a confidentiality agreement

And pay him off.

That's how we deal with this!

I'll find him.

I strongly recommend you let me handle this.

Kal, trust me, I got this. I'm telling you.

I'm telling you!

I'm gonna take care of it.

Simon: Beth, look!

Beth: That's not for us.

Simon: But I'm hungry though!

Beth: No. Get over it.

Director: Help yourself.

There's like 30 different muffins here.

Look, that's banana bacon.

It's ridiculous. You need to try it.

Yeah, what do they charge?

Five bucks for those muffins?

No thanks.

Yeah, no... Oh, you're serious!

No, no, this is- this is free.

No one's keeping track, really.

Help yourself.

Simon, I-

You have my permission.

Simon: (mouth full) Oh, this is so good!

Watch your fingers.

Thanks.

Director: No problem.

Have a good one.

Can you eat some fruit?

Eddie: So that's it?

We're gonna miss you around here.

I'm gonna miss you guys too.

Who knows, I might be back.

Eddie: I hope not!

For her sake. For your sake, I mean!

I'm sorry; that came out wrong.

You know what I mean.

I'm proud of you though. You did it,

And you did it on your own terms.

Alicia: Yeah.

Aw, geez.

You okay?

I'm going to be.

You take care of yourself, okay?

are you sure you're gonna be okay without me?

No.

Bye, Nick.

Bye.

And, hey, don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Nick: Hello?

Hey, Nick, I gotta talk to you.

Scott: (on phone) Is this Nick Wagner?

Nick: Yeah. Scott: This is Scott Cray.

I saw your set last night for the Montreal festival

And budd gave me your number.

Okay.

Nick, it's important. I just...

Scott: Listen, we're putting together a writing room

For a new late-night talk show

And I was wondering, do you have a packet?

Uh, like a... Like a writer's packet?

It's for a writers room, so that's what I'd bring,

But I don't want to clip your wings.

I have a writer's packet. Of course I do.

Eddie: Nick, it's important.

Scott: Great! I've left a drive-on for you at the Jefferson lot.

Come on by in a couple hours.

Nick: Seriously?!

Scott: No, no, Nick, this whole call is a lie.

Yeah, I like to play elaborate practical jokes

on people I've never met before.

You know, that thing that no one does.

Couple of hours, I'll be there.

Scott: All right, already regretting it.

Okay.

- Nick. - Yes, what?!

You gotta pay more rent.

What? Why?

You got two people living in your room.

No I don't.

Oh, you don't? no.

Abby: Hey, what's up?

You know the rules, Nick;

more occupants, more rent.

I want $400 more per month.

Yeah, but we're not living together.

Abby: I'm just crashing here just for a little while.

Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh!

Your commitment issues are not my concern, okay?

You're- bu-bu-bu-bu-bu!

You both live here, you pay more rent,

get over it.

I can't afford another $400 a month.

Abby: Eddie, I just booked a movie part,

so I'm about to be hundreds of dollars richer.

Could you at least give us till the end of the week?

You got a week to make the rent

or else one of you has to leave.

Are we living together?

Guess so?

it's not too soon?

I actually need to have this conversation later.

Right now I have to figure out what a writer's packet is.

I need a writer's packet and I don't know what it is.

Abby: A writer's packet.

Raquel: Thanks for coming over.

Just... Let me get this out, okay?

I'm pregnant,

and it's yours,

and I don't know what to do about it.

Hi. That's weird.

Connor: Can I come in?

Sure.

- Everything all right? - My house burnt down.

What?! What happened?!

- Bad wiring. - Are you okay?

Yeah, I never really liked that place anyway.

No, no. Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. I just was wondering

if I could crash here for a little bit?

Here?

Yeah, I don't really like the idea of a hotel.

This is a hotel.

You're right.

It's probably a terrible idea.

Sorry. Thanks for the drink.

Raquel: Hey, hey, hey, hey!

It's not that I don't want you to, okay?

You just... Caught me off guard.

You and me, huh?

Yeah. Be just like a sleepover...

with fewer clothes.
