Dinner with Friends

I thought this was supposed to be a race.

Come on, babe, what are you waiting for?

Thought you were gonna dust my ass today?

Oh. Oh, the dust ain't coming.

- It's... - Ha, ha!

Eat it, baby! Eat it!

Ah! Oh, no! Ah! Ah!

Easy, easy, easy.

- Okay. - Oh, okay.

- Can you get the other one? - Uh, yeah.

Just try, just try.

Yes. Okay.

Okay, can you make it to the kitchen?

- The kitchen? - Yeah.

- There's chairs right here. - You have to put ice.

Oh.

Okay, grab the wall. Grab the wall, thank you.

- I got it. - Okay, good. Yes.

I got it.

Thanks, baby.

Oh, fuck.

Can you believe it?

My leg just is giving out like that?

Yeah, I told you to wrap it before we left.

Now you might have really hurt yourself.

Feel like you could a just let me win,

Miss Chariots of Fire.

No, I couldn't.

You could've listened to me and saved yourself from

collapsing in

In the middle of street, and wailing like a baby.

Like a baby?

Like a baby!

I was not wailing like a baby.

Like a tiny Troy.

It's not how I, I sounded, I sounded like a man, when I...

You, you sounded hilarious.

This shit really hurts.

Yeah, you're right. My bad.

All right, I'll get you some ice.

Yeah.

Joy, call them.

You know I've tried.

Last two times, we didn't even have half of us.

I see Evie all the time anyway.

Yeah, I, uh, wouldn't take that personally.

Everyone's just busy.

You know how it is.

You know, I think that it would be good.

What?

- Good for us? - Yeah.

You really mean good for me though, right?

Joy...

Malachi...

Joy

look, I'll... ow!

Just sit, okay? You're gonna make it worse.

Exhale. Fuck.

Yeah.

Listen, all I am saying

is that we always have a good time with those guys.

We usually do.

And it's been a minute, right?

Since we've all gotten together.

You know how having something to focus on

where you can do the most

always makes you feel good.

We have two kids, Mal. I have plenty to focus on.

Oh, we have two?

I can't with you.

I think you know what I mean.

What just... one more try.

One more try.

They're our friends.

Yeah? Just fire off a message in the group chat.

You know, you almost had me before you said group chat.

Oh.

Can we rewind

and we'll say the same thing again

without mentioning the thing that shall not be named?

- Oh, my god! Hi! - Hi!

It's so good to see you.

Oh, my god, it smells amazing in here.

Thank you. How are you? How's it going?

I'm good. It's good, it's good.

Well, Josh is just like in one of his mood's again.

It's getting on my last nerve.

Oh no, is he still spicy?

Well, I've come to the conclusion

that he's someone who just likes to be angry.

So like, can you fight with someone like that.

- Did he come with you? - Oh, my god,

he's in the other room.

Wait, so how did your move go?

Sorry, I couldn't help you, by the way.

Uh, it's cool.

I actually didn't move.

What? Well, did you get your deposit back?

No, I did not.

Wait, so you lost first and last?

Yikes.

Sorry you're going through it, sweets.

Oh, it's fine. Really.

- So glad to see you, though. - So glad to see you.

Oh, my god.

And all this stuff with Josh is just like... wait.

- What? - What the hell is that?

- What? - What is that?

- This? - What?

What happened to the Portuguese tile?

Price went up like 55% that's what happened.

Yeah, I get that. But subway tile?

Baby, it's very elder millennial of you.

Oh, no, I know you did not just call me

- an elder millennial. - I did.

- To my face. - Yes. You know what?

- To this visage. - Gorgeous, baby.

But next time, take the hit. It's Portuguese tile, okay?

- Oh, oh! - Hey, Evie! Hey!

Sorry, sorry, sorry. I know I'm late.

The subway rerouted like five times.

- Am I the last one here? - Uh, no, no, no.

You know that Joy always gives you an earlier time

so you can actually get here on time?

Okay, wow.

Well, I should be offended, but I am actually grateful.

Wait, what did you say happened with the subway?

I don't know. Some like, mechanical explosion

or something.

An explosion? Jesus, this city is falling apart.

Yeah, it's all over Twitter right now.

It's trending. It's huge.

- You're on Twitter? - You're on X?

Really, Malachi, X? How January 6th of you.

Government names look,

say what you want about Elon...

Oh, my god, I can't. La, la, la.

Hello! Hi.

Did you remember the vermouth?

Oh, please say yes.

No, sorry. And I'm sorry I'm late.

It's okay, it's okay, we're still waiting on Kat.

Have you talked to her lately? Hi. Mwah.

No, I have not. Why?

Um, I just wanted to see if she'd be down

to host the next one.

You know, if we're serious about getting back

into the swing of things then I wanna lock in

who's hosting the next one.

I mean, I would do it, but next month,

it's gonna be Thanksgiving. And then it's Christmas.

And with family and the kids,

I don't think I have the bandwidth for that.

Yeah, well, I could always do it.

You don't need to sit at, like, a proper table.

Yeah, I mean, your place is... so cute.

Oh, Ty, that's so kind of you.

Hey, don't you and Josh have, like,

a really big table?

Oh, a huge table.: Uh yeah, yeah, we do.

We do. Um... but our uh... dishwasher is... broken.

- Hmm. - Yeah, there's just water,

debris, pieces...

- Gosh, that's horrible. - Everywhere.

I don't think that's how dishwashers work.

Really rough. And it's tax season?

It's the middle of fall. It's not tax season.

Well, they will be due at some point.

You know what?

Joy, you're so much better at this anyways, okay?

It's just, it's so much work. - I know. It is.

Fine, fine, fine, January it is.

Or we could just play it by ear.

Yeah, that never works.

Uh, I just said that I could do it.

Let's just see how Kat's feeling when she gets here.

Speaking of which, where the fuck is this girl?

Oh, she's probably gonna bail.

I mean, she looked really rough

- the last time we saw her. - Ty!

Well, I just mean she looked really burned out.

You know, she's obviously having a hard time

taking care of her mom and all that.

Yeah, well, it can't be very easy coming home

from being a nurse all day.

And then having to nurse your mother all night?

Mm-hmm.

Is this a new dress? It's cute.

Yeah, it's definitely

a lot to handle.

If only she had a sibling or something to help her.

Stop. Oh, wait.

Okay, to be fair, she wasn't as sick

when Tristan moved away, so.

Hmm, you mean when he completely ghosted.

Oh, my god. He had his reasons.

Plus Kat did tell us all that, you know,

he was sending money to help with their mom.

So it's not like he completely vanished.

Sure.
