Hey, Scott, it's me.
Now I'm getting worried,
so can you just at least text me so I know you're okay?
Happier now?
Much.
Although, you know, it's a little empty
without the boys playing football,
running around like idiots out here.
If you keep that up, it's going to be
a very long weekend. What?
Torturing yourself because they're not here.
All right.
Oh, shit.
Hi, Eve. How are you?
Hey, Mags.
Um, are you with Nick by chance? Yeah.
We just got up to the country. He's unloading the car.
What's up? I'm not sure.
I just haven't heard from Scott in a few days,
and I'm just a little bit worried.
Um, I thought maybe Nick might have heard from him.
Hold on. He just came in. I'll ask him. It's Eve.
She hasn't heard from Scott in a few days.
Have you heard from him? Nope.
Scott, though, probability is,
he's passed out in his own vomit somewhere.
I'm just saying.
I'm so sorry, Eve.
No, Nick hasn't heard from him either.
I'm sure everything's fine.
Scott's been trying to stay sober again,
so I... I can't help but imagine the worst.
Well, um, thank you.
Uh, you know, I'm sure you're right.
I'm sure it's nothing.
All right. Bye. Okay, bye.
Oh, my God. Talk about disaster.
I don't know how my sister puts up with him.
Oh, you know, it's easier to ignore the truth
than to face it.
Hey, Eve. What's going on?
Uh, I'm just curious. Have you heard from Scott?
At this hour, no.
Have you ever known him to get up before noon?
I know. I just... You know, I didn't hear from him
yesterday or the day before.
And I know you're gonna tell me I'm paranoid.
I just... This time, I'm just I feel worried, you know?
Yeah, but isn't he back on tour?
Yeah. They're in Portland or Seattle. I don't even know.
All right, well then I wouldn't worry about it.
All right? He probably just got busy after the shows
and probably just didn't call
because of the time difference.
Yeah? Yeah, maybe. Um...
Yeah. Okay. Well, if you do hear from him,
will you please tell him to call me?
Yeah, yeah, of course.
But trust me, you're gonna hear from him long before I do.
All right. Thanks, Andy.
All right? I'll speak to you later. Bye.
Sorry about that. It was my little sister.
She hasn't heard from her husband
in a couple of days, and she's worried.
Oh, no. Should she be?
Eh, it's kind of par for the course
for those two, so...
But as for us, I got to tell you,
I'm getting very excited about this weekend.
- Me too. - Good.
We should talk about what happened last night, though.
Yeah, last night.
So that wasn't a bad dream I had.
Oh, no. That really happened. What do you think?
Do you want to talk to her? Do you want me to talk to her?
You know, I think it's probably best if I talk to her.
But before I do,
you and I should probably have a conversation first, right?
Well, what about?
Well, about us, this, what it is we're doing,
where we think it might be going.
Why, are you having second thoughts?
No, no. Seriously, just the opposite.
This past month, since we've been together,
has been the happiest I have been in years.
But like we saw last night, it is complicated.
The fuck was that?
- You just hear that? - Hear what?
I think somebody's in the apartment.
Andy! It's me.
Oh, are you fucking kidding me? It's Tina.
What? What the fuck is she doing here?
I have no idea. I'll be right there!
Okay. You got to do me a favor.
Please, just don't come out and stay here.
I'm not just gonna hide in here. Why not? All right?
Just give me a minute to get rid of her.
Oh, we've got to tell her eventually.
Yeah, I know, but not like this.
Andy. Get out here.
Okay. I'm sorry. All right, please.
Just stay here, and we will tell her another time.
Oh, Tina.
Oh!
What the hell? What's going on?
I'm sorry. I dropped the bottle.
Yeah, I can see that.
Oh, watch your feet. Watch your feet.
All right, don't worry. I will clean it later.
Okay. What are you doing?
What are you doing here?
I was in the neighborhood... having dinner.
Your name came up.
I was gonna call you, and then I realized,
aha! I still have keys.
So I thought I would surprise you.
Surprise!
Nice. But guess what? You can't just do this
and show up unannounced, all right?
So I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
I'm sorry. Now, come on, let's go.
I just got here.
The place looks great, by the way.
You haven't changed anything. It's like I never left.
Yeah, well, I haven't gotten around to redecorating yet.
- So please, come on, let's go. - Are you busy?
Living a bachelor life, chasing some girls?
Hey, don't try and pretend like any of this was my doing.
Remember you're the one who asked for a separation,
not me.
What if I told you I wasn't seeing that guy anymore?
It wouldn't matter to me one way or the other.
I would still want you to leave.
Really?
You know? I don't think you're being honest with me.
You know why? Because I know everything that happens
in that little head of yours.
Yeah, yeah, I know you do.
But guess what, I'm gonna get my phone,
I'm gonna call you an Uber, and you're gonna go.
But thank you so much for stopping by.
Wait. Listen.
What if I told you I think I made a mistake?
Come on. Really?
What the fuck is that?
Do we have company?
We do have company!
Please, Tina.
She's got style.
Where is she? Huh? Is she in the bedroom?
She's nowhere. She's...
Is she in there? Don't go in there.
You are not going in the bedroom.
- She's in our bedroom! - Come on.
I'm gonna go find her. Hello!
Knock, knock, little whore. You in there?
Come on, you little whore. Are you hiding? Come on out!
- Hi, Tina. - Are you fucking
kidding me?
You and you.
Okay. I don't even know what to say.
W... why don't we start with
how and when did this fucking begin?
Do I talk to Tom? No. No. Tina was your friend.
So after the divorce, we went with you.
Oh, is that how it works?
Apparently so.
So now I have to pick one of you two.
So you heard about us, huh? Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Yeah, sorry about that.
You okay?
Eh, you know, what are you gonna do?
Fifteen years was a good long run.
But if you want,
I guess you could be friends with both of us.
Mm. What if I like you more?
Did to one another, like... You know what? Shh.
I don't even want to fucking hear it.
Forget it. You two disgust me.
I'm so sorry. It's all right.
Fuck. I'm sorry.
Hey.
You want to explain why I haven't heard from you
in over 48 hours?
What are you talking about?
I texted you when I landed in Sacramento.
That was three days ago.
Then I haven't heard a peep from you since.
- I was scared. - Of what?
I was working.
You know what a pain in the ass these guys can be.
It's like dealing with a pack of children.
Oh, yeah, I know what that's like.
You didn't make any coffee?
Three hours ago.
Three hours ago. Oh.
Where the hell is the Advil? My head is killing me.
It's where it always is. In the bathroom.
Upstairs.
Welcome home.
