I Love LA (2025) s01e08 Episode Script
I Love NY
1
Oh, my God, you guys.
It feels so good to be back
in New York.
Like, shoot it
into my fucking veins.
I feel alive and free.
Oh, my God, I know.
This is so exciting.
Like, the girls are
-back!
-I know.
Guys, New York is so romantic.
This is literally the street
that my dad met my mom
when he was shooting
Kings of Chinatown.
-Aw!
-That's so sweet.
I know! Wait, and that's
the secret apartment
that he got her when he was
divorcing his second wife.
-Aw.
-They're gonna be so fucking surprised to see me.
-I love love.
-Disagree!
Love slows you down.
I'm honestly so psyched
to not be in LA.
Like, the heat
and the palm trees,
it's like fucking oppressive.
Maia!
Like, wait up!
-No, please just let
-What is she doing?
Just let her walk this off.
Walk what off?
She's obviously having
a manic episode right now.
-No, she's not, okay?
-I'm really worried about her.
She always walks fast
and talks loud.
She's just in boss mode
right now.
'Kay. I don't think
that's what's going on.
I mean, it's like Dylan
was reading my mind
because I needed space.
That's why he's so good for me.
I'm so good.
I'm I'm perfect.
-See what I mean?
-Girl, she's not good.
You're not reading her
very well right now.
-Guys, I wanna try smoking.
-Oh.
Oh, my God.
I feel amazing.
-Yeah.
-I'm, like, buzzing.
Yeah.
It's so gross.
Ah!
Wait, I've decided I'm gonna
get addicted to cigarettes.
And now that you don't have
a job and you're single,
you have, like, way more time.
-I'm not single.
-Oh.
-We're just, like, on a break.
-No, to yeah, sorry. Totally.
-No, I meant like you can smoke
-I'm just gonna text him.
Maia, don't text him.
You literally said
seven days no contact.
We have other stuff
to worry about.
Yeah, I know, but this
is just, like, logistics.
And then, after I send it,
we can focus
on your fitting with Antoine.
Okay, how about this?
"Hello, period.
"I just wanted to say
the plane didn't crash, period.
"Telling you because
we co-signed a lease, comma,
hope you're well, period."
Okay, that was
very adult of you.
I just like
I feel so much better,
'cause now I'm not worried
that, like, he's worried.
-Yeah.
-You know, I just wouldn't want him
to be stressed, like, "Did
the plane crash, like"
-No, and he's not. Like, he knows now.
-Yeah.
I'm not thinking
about him at all.
Me neither.
Oh, my God!
Dylan just thumbs-upped my text.
Just thumbs-upped my text.
What the fuck?
How 'bout another pack?
I'm sorry, but you
send a thumbs-up
to a TaskRabbit,
not your fucking girlfriend.
Okay, well, being polite
is how guys like Dylan
-show they're powerful, so.
-What do you mean?
Like, every time I come over,
he's like,
"Can I get you
a glass of water?"
Oh, because you have
to show me you're a man?
Please.
He's obviously having
a mental breakdown
on the inside.
-You're so right.
-It's embarrassing.
Ugh, it's so sad.
I'm gonna text Charlie
-and have him check on Dylan.
-Okay.
This is oh, oh.
Excuse you.
Okay.
Oui. Oui, oui, oui.
Oh, it is stunning.
It is absolutely stunning, yes.
Oh, my God, Maia.
This need to look
like it have air,
-like it's clouds, okay?
-Are you kidding me?
Is that an Erik Charlotte dress?
It's like Pagliacci,
but make it cunt.
I love that.
Hi!
My LA girls!
Tallulah, come to change.
Um
-Mai?
-Cigarette cheers?
I heard you can go
kind of cheers
-with the cig.
-Beautiful.
This is perfect.
Um, are we sure
it's, like, exciting
-Hm?
-though?
That you are invited to
the Formé dinner is exciting.
That I am dressing you
is exciting.
I think that is more
than enough excitement.
Right.
Yeah, um, it's just like,
I saw this, like,
major clown moment outside.
Obviously, we want me
to stand out, too.
Maybe we do something
with, like, a pop of color,
or like I mean, like,
this green is amazing.
This is for a model.
You're not a model.
You post your fun videos,
you get drunk, you steal things.
That is who you are,
and that is wonderful!
-Now, get changed.
-Thank you.
-Thank you so much.
-Of course. Ciao.
Fucking asshole.
And Dylan, like, keeps
saying, like, he's busy too,
but it's like,
he has some resolve.
So, it's like, I'm sorry.
Here, this is Dylan,
my boyfriend.
So cute.
And this is Clare.
Visually, like, do these feel
like two people that would fuck?
She does not seem
like a sexual person.
-You're a sexual person.
-Yes! Exactly.
Totally. Thank you.
I'm like, honestly,
a real freak.
You should enjoy your break,
like we were trying
to enjoy ours.
You're so right.
You are right.
Hi, Ben.
What is a good place
for three girls
to go out in
Hey.
-Hey.
-Come on, let's go, babe.
They seem really busy.
Hi.
-You like your dress?
-Yeah, I love it so much.
It's really chic,
black, classic.
Easy!
-Dylan.
-Oh! Jesus Christ!
-Hi.
-Charlie. Whoa.
I was knocking for
like five minutes.
What what is this?
What's going on?
Did you know that
that after six months,
-spices start to lose their flavor?
-Mm-hmm.
-You knew that?
-I didn't know that.
Let's take a break
from the spices.
Okay.
Uh, well, you know,
I'm I'm sure you know Maia
Maia's in New York.
And Dylan's in LA.
What, I'm not allowed
to come over and see
my best friend's boyfriend?
Yeah. Yeah.
Here, I brought you this,
by the way.
Andrew left it in my fridge,
like, forever ago.
It's like a pickle IPA.
I don't know, he liked
all the straight guy beer.
Andrew? Uh, okay.
Have you you guys
been talking at all?
Uh, no.
No, we're not talking.
-Mm.
-Uh, how are
you?
Um, it's, uh
I feel like I'm going
a little bit crazy.
-Ah.
-Like, you know, it
this whole seven-day rule thing,
this was my idea,
but I it's absolutely hell.
I mean, she she sent me
literally one text just saying
that she didn't die in a plane
crash, and that's it, like
What'd you say back?
I I thumbs'ed it up.
-Is that bad?
-Thumbs-up?
-Yeah?
-To Maia?
-Yeah.
-Do you know this bitch? Like
-Yeah.
-Be real. It's like, she needs affirmation.
Constant affirmation.
You're right.
Alright, I'm gonna text her.
Maia, sorry for the late
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, no.
-What?
-Delete, delete, delete.
Now, I'm understanding,
maybe, the psychology.
She she could be trapping you.
-Exactly, right?
-Yeah, it might be a trap.
That's what I thought.
Like, if if I don't respond,
then then I don't care.
And if I do respond, then it's
She'll think you're not taking
the boundary seriously.
-Right.
-I see the problem now.
Damn.
Bitches be crazy.
It's like she just she put
these landmines out everywhere.
-Land-Maias.
-You know, and I I spent
so much time just trying to
avoid all of her her triggers,
and that I ended up just
I stopped.
I stopped sharing
any real shit at all.
Like now, I I don't even know
what I'm mad about anymore.
Well, I happen to be an expert
at making people realize
why they're mad,
and then making them way madder.
-Mm! So, my new friend, Ayako
-Uh-huh?
who's a model, um,
she and her boyfriend,
also a model,
they actually hooked up
with other people when
they were on a break,
so that when
they got back together,
there was, like, no regrets.
Okay, that makes sense,
'cause I feel like a bad thing
always has to happen
before a good thing can happen.
-Like, Babe one was just okay.
-Yeah.
But Babe 2: Pig in the City
was fucking incredible, I'm sorry.
-True.
-Yeah. Guys, I'm due.
It was like, boom, COVID.
Then, I moved to LA.
Boom, I meet Dylan.
Boom, I'm basically fucking 30.
It's like, I missed out
on fucking shitty assholes
in my 20s.
Just for one weekend,
-let me be a pig in the city.
-Thank you.
Let me play in the mud before
I become Dylan's sugar mama.
-Okay.
-Fair, like, oink-oink.
-Like, treat me bad.
-So bad.
Right? Guys, I wish I wasn't
surprising my parents tomorrow,
'cause I really wanted
to get into something strange.
Oh, my God. Like,
-that guy right there
-Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
We would fuck up
the hotel room so bad.
They would have to arrest me.
Girl, I would I would go to that
trial. Oh, my God, he's looking.
-Oh, my God. That's Ben.
-Oh, my God, he's looking at me.
Do I look okay?
-You look incredible.
-So good.
-This is like the best timing ever, are you joking?
-Maia, you look so hot.
Wait, and he's wearing
a wedding ring.
That's a good sign.
I'm glad Paul
could get you in. Hi!
-Thanks so much for hooking it up.
-Of course.
-Um, Ben, this is, uh
-Tallulah Stiel.
-Congrats on Formé.
-Thank you.
How does it feel to now be the
littlest fish in a very big pond?
Um, it feels so good.
I love big ponds so much.
-I bet. I bet.
-Maia killed it.
-Yeah, she did.
-Mm-hmm.
Alyssa's lucky.
Um, yeah, I'm actually not
at Alyssa180 anymore.
-Really?
-I'm on my own now.
I'm sorry, hi.
Hi, I'm Alani.
-Hi, Alani.
-Maia and her boyfriend
are on a break,
so we're just stepping out to
Yeah, um, so we were
just like, fuck it, let's party.
-Nice. Yeah.
-You know? Yeah.
-Do you wanna sit with us?
-Oh, no, that's sweet of you.
I'm actually about to go out
with my wife and some friends.
But I think my tab's open
at the bar if you, you know,
guys want a little night out
on the company.
Why, 'cause you're trying
to poach Tallulah?
Maybe I'm trying to poach you.
You know, it was so forgetful
of me to leave my card here.
If I could stop by the hotel
tomorrow and come pick it up?
Yeah, sounds good.
-Okay, good.
-Mm-hmm.
-Be safe tonight, guys.
-Bye.
Oh, my God!
-Oh, my God.
-What just happened?
You guys, I am fucking Ben
tomorrow.
-What?!
-Um, that was so weird
that he said that about
the little fish in the big pond.
-Like, why did he say that?
-No, I think I think that's good.
Like, fish grow bigger
in a bigger pond.
Like, more food, more room.
That's why I'm so tall.
-Uh-huh.
-'Cause my house was so big.
Oh, can you guys believe
he left his card here?
Thank God.
I maxed mine out
-on the hotel rooms.
-What?
Maia, I thought
Formé was paying.
It's fine, it's fine.
It's a business expense.
You're gonna make
our money back.
-You're killing it, okay?
-That part.
-Mm-hmm.
-I'm so proud of you.
I'm so proud of both
of you guys.
We deserve to celebrate.
-Let's get some shots.
-Oh, my God, yes.
-Shots! Should we get fucked up?
-Let's celebrate. Yes!
-Shots!
-Ready? Cheers, you guys.
-I mean, shots!
-Cheers, guys.
-Cheers to us!
-To Maia's last week of being single.
So, when you were like,
uh, describing this to me,
it sounded weird.
Um, but now that
I'm actually looking at it,
it's it's much weirder.
Can you just accept the
exercise for a second?
-Just pretend I'm Maia.
-Mm-hmm.
And tell me one thing
that you get frustrated by.
-Pff, okay.
-Hey.
Dylan, seriously.
Okay, uh,
so I I don't like it
when you you go jump
on your walking treadmill
every time I try to talk to you.
-That's fair, that
-Right?
that sounds really
fucking annoying.
-It is.
-And frustrating.
-It's very frustrating.
-Okay, go on. Go.
-What else?
-You know, I I think
there's kind of a general thing,
uh, which is that I
I don't feel that you
actually, like,
take what I do seriously.
Like, I'm I'm really proud
to be a teacher, you know?
And I I just don't think
that you actually respect
-what I want in life.
-I I really do.
I do.
Then, why does it then why
do I feel like you push me away
every time something more
important comes up, you know?
You feel
you feel that way?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know, maybe
because you, like,
see me for who I am,
and like, this town has just
like, I don't know, made me
bad, or and hard.
And I don't know,
I just feel like I'm scared
that I'm just gonna end up here
eating Christmas dinner alone
while you're, like,
off in New York
being the VP of a company
who makes curated playlists
for restaurants,
but it's like, at the
same time, like, I get it.
It's like they're sponsoring
your visa, it's like
If you miss Andrew,
you should just call him,
you know?
Yeah, maybe.
Did Maia send you
to check on me?
Duh, bitch.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
You know she, like,
cares about you a lot.
Yeah.
But you can go.
You don't have to stay
and babysit me, like, I'm fine.
I'm not babysitting you.
-I'm having fun, I'm ac
-You're having fun?
-Yeah, are you not having fun?
-Really?
I'm having fun, but like
Let's let's, like,
do something.
You're here alone.
Like, this is your week
to be a free man.
Like, let's go.
O-Okay, okay, I
I do have one fantasy.
Really?
Okay, great.
Let's fucking lock up
your daughters, Silverlake.
This man is about to murder
their vaginas two at a time.
Charlie.
My question is,
have you ever seen the
Ken Burns Vietnam War doc?
Uh, let's wa
let's watch that.
Yes! Really?
-Yay.
-Oh!
Mm.
Ugh, God.
Tallulah.
Tallulah.
Wake up, I think
you got your period.
-Oh.
-Ugh.
-Ow.
-My phone is dead.
I don't feel good.
I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
Oh, my God,
my head hurts so bad.
-I'm so nauseous.
-Wait, Tallulah.
What are you doing?
What?
-Oh, my God!
-What are you doing?
Go look at your fucking back
in the mirror.
-Why?
-Go, Tallulah.
You got a fucking tattoo.
Shut up, you're scaring me.
No, I can't believe
you got a fucking tattoo!
-Stop! Oh, my God!
-Oh, my God!
-Why the fuck would you get a tattoo?
-I didn't mean to!
You could have fucking Hep-C!
-Holy shit!
-Oh, my God.
-Holy shit!
-"Nightmare Before Business"?
-That makes no fucking sense!
-It's really big.
What is the point of that?
I don't know, Maia!
Oh, my God!
It's Scotty from
Dragon City Tattoos.
-Ow!
-"I had to send you this legally
-because of how drunk you seemed."
-Oh, my God, Maia.
-Bitch, you need to get a tattoo.
-No!
-Please? Please?
-Maia, I don't want one.
-Like, no.
-Do it or I'll kill myself.
Then we'll match.
It's my company name.
My God.
Fuck. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, fuck.
Fuck!
Oh, my God!
-Okay.
-Oh, it's bleeding.
-Fuck. I'm so sorry.
-It's so big.
-Um
-It's okay.
-It's okay.
-It's okay.
-Yeah.
-I like it.
-Okay.
-It's random.
-It's fine. We'll get them lasered off
-Yeah.
-when we go back to LA.
-Yeah, back to LA. It's fast.
And you said your dress tonight
is, like, classic,
elegant, right?
-Like, it goes all the way up
-Oh.
-covers the back?
-Y
Okay, so like, manager Maia's
not gonna be really happy.
But I have a surprise.
That's my surprise.
It's it's a new dress.
Wait, what happened? I thought
I thought your dress was black.
Antoine was saying that,
like, my vibe is, like, messy,
and like, I couldn't pull off
something model-y,
which is so fucking rude!
Like, yes, I can.
So, I took this one instead.
To show him you're not messy,
you stole a dress?
-No, Maia.
-Tallulah!
It's the better dress.
The dress you stole is backless!
-It is so fucking backless, okay?
-Ow! Ow!
Oh, fuck.
Dad? Mom?
Oh, my God.
Mama?
Surprise.
You're not my mom!
-Oh, my God. Alani, one second.
-Who the fuck are you?!
-What are you doing in my parents' house?
-Wait, Alani, Alani.
I am so sorry
we're meeting this way.
I did not think
you were coming to town.
Who are you?
Alani,
I'm your dad's girlfriend.
But my dad is married to my mom.
Hey.
Did we fuck last night?
-What? No.
-Oh.
We watched a
a sobering indictment
-of imperial overreach.
-Oh yeah, it's it's horrible
how we treated our boys
when they got back from battle.
Mm-hmm.
And you listened to me vent,
like, a lot, so thank you.
I mean, I think I did
a little bit of venting too.
Yes.
Not to be like a whole-ass
fudge packer about it,
but, like, I don't know,
I believe in you guys.
You're my favorite couple.
It's j-just so stupid,
because I'm stressing
about not talking to her,
but she's just probably going
through the exact same thing.
You know, we should just
fucking talk, and that's it.
Uh, okay, sign.
Look, bitch, she's literally
calling me to, like
-No.
-see how it went with you, yeah.
-You think so?
-I know her. Yeah, duh.
You wanna
you wanna listen in?
-Yeah, yeah.
-Okay.
-Hey, sista.
-Charlie?
What's on your mind?
The only fucking thing
on my mind right now
is that we have a full
fucking dress disaster,
and the dinner is tonight.
-Oh, Mai.
-Like, okay.
-Sorry, give me one
-So, Antoine fit Tallulah
-in a black dress, and it's just like
-Sorry.
not a moment,
and it
-That's my whole fucking point. It's my whole fucking point.
-It's been ever since
I I can't.
Charlie, I can't, okay?
It's been it's
are you list Charlie?
Sorry, what what happened?
Quiet, Tallulah's puking
in the bathroom.
Okay, you know this world
better than I do.
Is Antoine, like,
a vengeful person,
or is he, like,
chill about stealing?
I can put a jacket over it
-and it will cover it.
-No. No.
-Maia, yes.
-We have to return the green dress
and get yours back.
Charlie said if you steal
from Antoine,
that he'll blacklist you.
Being a model seems so bleak.
Like, I don't wanna get
bullied all the time.
No, totally.
-Oh, my God.
-What?
Ben just texted me.
"I wanna talk about a role
for you at my company."
"Maybe I should come by
your hotel room in an hour."
"I need that card back."
-Maia?
-I don't know.
Oh, my God, are you serious?
It's like, you don't have
to feel guilty.
You guys are on a break.
You're allowed to fuck
other people.
And I think that when Dylan
sees how much money
you're making at Mercer,
he's gonna forget
what you guys
were even mad about.
Yeah, I mean, that job
would be so amazing, right?
Yeah, for both of us.
It's like a lot of pressure
being your only client.
It's not here.
I found it.
It's just like, I wish it wasn't
such a fucking boring dress.
Hey, you will make it
the look, okay?
You're magnetic.
You're gonna meet insane people.
It's gonna be an epic
fucking night, okay?
-Mm-hmm.
-So, wear the dress.
Okay.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Um
Do you wanna
-Uh, I have your card.
-Oh.
So, do you wanna come
or I'll grab it for you.
-You can come in. Um
-Yeah.
There is maybe
a tattoo place on there.
So, um, I am sorry
if you got a big charge
last night.
Yeah.
I got a big charge last night.
You wanna fuck me?
-Yeah.
-Yeah?
Mm-mm.
Touch yourself.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
You like that?
Uh-huh.
You gonna jerk off too?
Mm-mm.
I'm just gonna watch you.
And then you're gonna fuck me?
No.
Not today.
-Okay.
-Mm-hmm.
Well, just so you know,
this is, like
this week is, like, my main
window
in terms of fucking,
like, indefinitely.
So
Oh, my God.
You gonna cum for me?
-I'm gonna cum.
-Cum.
That was fun.
So, got some good news.
Mercer Digital has an opening.
One of our managers
went on paternity leave,
so he's fired.
I, uh, assume you're interested.
We have considerably
more resources than Alyssa did.
$380,000.
Sorry, I know you
wrote it on here
so I wouldn't say it out loud.
It's just, like, uh,
a really big number.
Well, we'd share
Tallulah together, so,
you know,
we'd spend a lot of time
implementing Mercer strategy, whatnot.
Yeah.
Um, well
I'll have to talk
to Tallulah and
think on it.
Um, but I will
I will let you know.
You're adorable.
You think you make
these choices.
What?
You like to be told what to do.
-No, I don't.
-Maia.
You quit your job, you
broke up with your boyfriend,
and you came to New York
when I called.
Imagine what I'll get you to do
when you're working for me again.
Hm?
Shit. Fuck.
Oh, wow, is this
Tallulah's look for tonight?
Um, yeah.
God, Antoine is so smart,
you know?
Show everyone your client
cleans up nice,
can sit at the big kids' table.
And next year,
you swing for the fences.
I like it.
You better get dressed, too.
We can't have you showing up
to the Formé dinner
looking like you just
got fucked.
It's so stupid.
Like, all of the relationships
that I've sabotaged
because they weren't my dad.
Being particular's okay, Alani.
I was just waiting for a guy
that would divorce
the entire world
for his soulmate.
And now, I find out
he and my mom
aren't even soulmates.
So, it's like
all fucking bullshit?
Sorry, honey, I never meant
to break up a marriage,
but when Leon and I met,
everything made sense.
For the both of us.
D-Does my mom know?
Not yet.
He's going to tell her.
He just didn't wanna ruin
their anniversary.
Hey.
Your father's not a bad man,
Alani, okay?
Fuck. Fuck.
Um, I think that's them.
Okay, it's okay.
Don't worry. Hey, hey, hey.
It's time to just rip off
the Band-Aid.
Yeah?
I need a vacation
from that vacation.
It was great anyway.
-Hey!
-Alani!
-What are you doing here, honey?
-Hi, Mom.
-This is a great surprise.
-Dad.
Well, who's your friend?
My friend? Is that how
we're gonna play this?
-What?
-Hey, Leon. I've missed you.
Who the fuck are you?
-I'm Denise Howard.
-Oh, shit.
We're connected
by the star Polaris,
and I'm here to finally
give you a message.
Oh, shit! Fuck!
Remember me!
-Oh, fuck!
-What the actual fuck?!
-What is going on?
-What the fuck?!
-Goddammit!
-Oh, my God! My God!
-Alani, call the police!
-Call the police!
-What the
-Wait, wait, so are you
or are you not having
an affair with Denise?
What?!
Of course not!
-Oh!
-That lunatic's been following me for 15 years.
-I thought she was in jail.
-Oh, my God.
-She used to send me bullets every week.
-Oh.
-Oh, fuck!
-That Denise.
-Don't squeeze it!
-I know Denise. I'm sorry.
I knew you guys were soulmates.
I love you, Dad.
Sorry, sorry, I'm here.
Mimi's jet had a female pilot.
-Charlie!
-Hi, how are you?
I didn't think
you were gonna make it.
Is that it?
Maybe.
I cannot believe
you pulled this off.
What are you talking about? When
have I ever not pulled something off?
Can I give you credit
for a second?
You were right.
Your instinct was right.
This the black dress
was not it.
-Like, what is this?
-No. Right?
Like, what's the fucking point
of Formé
if it's, like,
not even a moment?
-Like
-No, it's not a moment.
You're sure Antoine
won't be pissed though, right?
No, I mean,
if she looks fabulous,
which she will,
he'll take credit for it,
and, you know, all will be good.
Charlie,
I'm so grateful for you.
I know. I know, love.
-I really am that girl.
-You are.
How are you?
-You fuck Ben?
-Ugh.
No, he was just,
like, a little mean
and he watched me jerk off.
-Classic.
-It's just, I don't wanna work for him.
Why? Why not?
Because the sex
was like a sneak preview
of what the job would be.
It's like, I say what I want,
he laughs, he does
what he wants.
It's like, "Ooh, what if
Alyssa was a misogynist?"
It's like, okay, cool,
my ideas get buried again,
and now I have to look at
dick pics on Microsoft Teams.
Okay, then fuck it.
Like, don't work for him.
I know but, like,
Tallulah really wanted me
to take the job.
What am I gonna say?
Like, I turned down 400 grand
because Ben was a dick?
Four-hundred grand?
That you you should take
you've always wanted 400 grand.
-Like, maybe take the
-Charlie.
Okay, okay, okay.
Here's what you do.
Just like, tell Tallulah
it was all bullshit.
There is no job,
there was never a job,
he was just trying to fuck you.
Like, lie?
"Like, lie?"
Yeah.
You could lie.
What, are you three?
Yeah, it's like,
she's your client.
Sometimes you're gonna have
to lie to her to protect her.
-But this lie feels bigger.
-Okay.
Well, it means
you're leveling up, kid.
That's good.
It's good for you.
Alright.
Now, tell that dumb fucking cunt
to get down here
and get her dress on,
'cause that bitch be late.
Don't be late.
-No, we will not be late.
-Promise me you won't be late.
-I'm gonna make her hustle.
-You're gonna kill it.
-You both are gonna kill it.
-We will not be.
I'm very proud.
I'm very proud right now.
-Thank you, I love you.
-Love you.
Wait, oh, my God.
What did Dylan say?
Like, how did he seem? I
feel so crazy not talking to him.
He misses you.
Yeah, a lot.
I'm gonna call him.
Like, fuck seven days.
-I love you.
-I love you.
-I'm proud of you.
-I love you so much.
I'll see you. Mwah.
Do you need to get that?
Um, no, it was
it was probably just a
a misdial anyway, so.
Yeah, um, I sh I should
probably get going.
I mean, I'm sure you got,
like, a bunch of work
-to get done today, so.
-No.
Why? It's Saturday.
Maybe we can go see
a movie or something.
Go for a walk.
Mm.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Maia.
This is amazing.
Ben is a fucking idiot.
Like, I cannot believe
he didn't offer you
a fucking job.
That's crazy.
I mean, he did, but only if
I dropped you as a client,
and I was like, "Fuck, no."
-You did not.
-Yes, I did.
You're my fucking family.
Maia360, here we come.
Yeah.
Okay, breathe all of the air
out of your body.
-Oh, my God, Maia!
-Sorry.
-Hey.
-Hey.
I was surprised when you texted.
Uh
I brought you something.
It might be cold.
Flew with it.
-Din Tai Fung?
-Mm-hmm.
-You bitch.
-You know, I could be basic too.
I have that capability.
You here with Mimi?
How long do I have you for?
I have nowhere else to be.
-Oh, okay, that's Maia at Tessa's restaurant.
-Oh.
Tessa's Tallulah's
new girlfriend.
Maia got a haircut, huh?
-Mm-hmm.
-Yeah, it's cute.
-It's good for her face.
-That's what I said.
It's literally what I said.
People seem stressed.
-Oh.
-Oh, sorry.
-You've been ten away for an hour!
-Excuse me.
We're gonna miss
the fucking dinner
if you don't find a way through.
Oh, my God.
Are we gonna be late
to the dinner?
I don't know,
I texted our driver,
but he said he can't
get through.
Thank you.
What the fuck is going on?
-What?
-Fuck.
Uh, hey, do you need a light?
Yeah, yeah, that'd be great.
Think I have one.
Mm, thank you.
What's going on
with all this traffic?
Some crazy stabber lady
tried to kill an actor,
-or director, or something.
-What?!
Yeah, police spotted her
in the area.
-Yeah.
-Oh, my God.
Okay.
So, the streets are, like,
completely blocked off.
We're not gonna make the dinner.
That's it.
Yeah.
If we take a car.
Okay.
-Excuse us!
-Excuse us. Sorry.
Oh! Sorry!
We're going very fast.

Maia.
I love you.
Love you.
Um, excuse me.

Oh, my God, you guys.
It feels so good to be back
in New York.
Like, shoot it
into my fucking veins.
I feel alive and free.
Oh, my God, I know.
This is so exciting.
Like, the girls are
-back!
-I know.
Guys, New York is so romantic.
This is literally the street
that my dad met my mom
when he was shooting
Kings of Chinatown.
-Aw!
-That's so sweet.
I know! Wait, and that's
the secret apartment
that he got her when he was
divorcing his second wife.
-Aw.
-They're gonna be so fucking surprised to see me.
-I love love.
-Disagree!
Love slows you down.
I'm honestly so psyched
to not be in LA.
Like, the heat
and the palm trees,
it's like fucking oppressive.
Maia!
Like, wait up!
-No, please just let
-What is she doing?
Just let her walk this off.
Walk what off?
She's obviously having
a manic episode right now.
-No, she's not, okay?
-I'm really worried about her.
She always walks fast
and talks loud.
She's just in boss mode
right now.
'Kay. I don't think
that's what's going on.
I mean, it's like Dylan
was reading my mind
because I needed space.
That's why he's so good for me.
I'm so good.
I'm I'm perfect.
-See what I mean?
-Girl, she's not good.
You're not reading her
very well right now.
-Guys, I wanna try smoking.
-Oh.
Oh, my God.
I feel amazing.
-Yeah.
-I'm, like, buzzing.
Yeah.
It's so gross.
Ah!
Wait, I've decided I'm gonna
get addicted to cigarettes.
And now that you don't have
a job and you're single,
you have, like, way more time.
-I'm not single.
-Oh.
-We're just, like, on a break.
-No, to yeah, sorry. Totally.
-No, I meant like you can smoke
-I'm just gonna text him.
Maia, don't text him.
You literally said
seven days no contact.
We have other stuff
to worry about.
Yeah, I know, but this
is just, like, logistics.
And then, after I send it,
we can focus
on your fitting with Antoine.
Okay, how about this?
"Hello, period.
"I just wanted to say
the plane didn't crash, period.
"Telling you because
we co-signed a lease, comma,
hope you're well, period."
Okay, that was
very adult of you.
I just like
I feel so much better,
'cause now I'm not worried
that, like, he's worried.
-Yeah.
-You know, I just wouldn't want him
to be stressed, like, "Did
the plane crash, like"
-No, and he's not. Like, he knows now.
-Yeah.
I'm not thinking
about him at all.
Me neither.
Oh, my God!
Dylan just thumbs-upped my text.
Just thumbs-upped my text.
What the fuck?
How 'bout another pack?
I'm sorry, but you
send a thumbs-up
to a TaskRabbit,
not your fucking girlfriend.
Okay, well, being polite
is how guys like Dylan
-show they're powerful, so.
-What do you mean?
Like, every time I come over,
he's like,
"Can I get you
a glass of water?"
Oh, because you have
to show me you're a man?
Please.
He's obviously having
a mental breakdown
on the inside.
-You're so right.
-It's embarrassing.
Ugh, it's so sad.
I'm gonna text Charlie
-and have him check on Dylan.
-Okay.
This is oh, oh.
Excuse you.
Okay.
Oui. Oui, oui, oui.
Oh, it is stunning.
It is absolutely stunning, yes.
Oh, my God, Maia.
This need to look
like it have air,
-like it's clouds, okay?
-Are you kidding me?
Is that an Erik Charlotte dress?
It's like Pagliacci,
but make it cunt.
I love that.
Hi!
My LA girls!
Tallulah, come to change.
Um
-Mai?
-Cigarette cheers?
I heard you can go
kind of cheers
-with the cig.
-Beautiful.
This is perfect.
Um, are we sure
it's, like, exciting
-Hm?
-though?
That you are invited to
the Formé dinner is exciting.
That I am dressing you
is exciting.
I think that is more
than enough excitement.
Right.
Yeah, um, it's just like,
I saw this, like,
major clown moment outside.
Obviously, we want me
to stand out, too.
Maybe we do something
with, like, a pop of color,
or like I mean, like,
this green is amazing.
This is for a model.
You're not a model.
You post your fun videos,
you get drunk, you steal things.
That is who you are,
and that is wonderful!
-Now, get changed.
-Thank you.
-Thank you so much.
-Of course. Ciao.
Fucking asshole.
And Dylan, like, keeps
saying, like, he's busy too,
but it's like,
he has some resolve.
So, it's like, I'm sorry.
Here, this is Dylan,
my boyfriend.
So cute.
And this is Clare.
Visually, like, do these feel
like two people that would fuck?
She does not seem
like a sexual person.
-You're a sexual person.
-Yes! Exactly.
Totally. Thank you.
I'm like, honestly,
a real freak.
You should enjoy your break,
like we were trying
to enjoy ours.
You're so right.
You are right.
Hi, Ben.
What is a good place
for three girls
to go out in
Hey.
-Hey.
-Come on, let's go, babe.
They seem really busy.
Hi.
-You like your dress?
-Yeah, I love it so much.
It's really chic,
black, classic.
Easy!
-Dylan.
-Oh! Jesus Christ!
-Hi.
-Charlie. Whoa.
I was knocking for
like five minutes.
What what is this?
What's going on?
Did you know that
that after six months,
-spices start to lose their flavor?
-Mm-hmm.
-You knew that?
-I didn't know that.
Let's take a break
from the spices.
Okay.
Uh, well, you know,
I'm I'm sure you know Maia
Maia's in New York.
And Dylan's in LA.
What, I'm not allowed
to come over and see
my best friend's boyfriend?
Yeah. Yeah.
Here, I brought you this,
by the way.
Andrew left it in my fridge,
like, forever ago.
It's like a pickle IPA.
I don't know, he liked
all the straight guy beer.
Andrew? Uh, okay.
Have you you guys
been talking at all?
Uh, no.
No, we're not talking.
-Mm.
-Uh, how are
you?
Um, it's, uh
I feel like I'm going
a little bit crazy.
-Ah.
-Like, you know, it
this whole seven-day rule thing,
this was my idea,
but I it's absolutely hell.
I mean, she she sent me
literally one text just saying
that she didn't die in a plane
crash, and that's it, like
What'd you say back?
I I thumbs'ed it up.
-Is that bad?
-Thumbs-up?
-Yeah?
-To Maia?
-Yeah.
-Do you know this bitch? Like
-Yeah.
-Be real. It's like, she needs affirmation.
Constant affirmation.
You're right.
Alright, I'm gonna text her.
Maia, sorry for the late
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, no.
-What?
-Delete, delete, delete.
Now, I'm understanding,
maybe, the psychology.
She she could be trapping you.
-Exactly, right?
-Yeah, it might be a trap.
That's what I thought.
Like, if if I don't respond,
then then I don't care.
And if I do respond, then it's
She'll think you're not taking
the boundary seriously.
-Right.
-I see the problem now.
Damn.
Bitches be crazy.
It's like she just she put
these landmines out everywhere.
-Land-Maias.
-You know, and I I spent
so much time just trying to
avoid all of her her triggers,
and that I ended up just
I stopped.
I stopped sharing
any real shit at all.
Like now, I I don't even know
what I'm mad about anymore.
Well, I happen to be an expert
at making people realize
why they're mad,
and then making them way madder.
-Mm! So, my new friend, Ayako
-Uh-huh?
who's a model, um,
she and her boyfriend,
also a model,
they actually hooked up
with other people when
they were on a break,
so that when
they got back together,
there was, like, no regrets.
Okay, that makes sense,
'cause I feel like a bad thing
always has to happen
before a good thing can happen.
-Like, Babe one was just okay.
-Yeah.
But Babe 2: Pig in the City
was fucking incredible, I'm sorry.
-True.
-Yeah. Guys, I'm due.
It was like, boom, COVID.
Then, I moved to LA.
Boom, I meet Dylan.
Boom, I'm basically fucking 30.
It's like, I missed out
on fucking shitty assholes
in my 20s.
Just for one weekend,
-let me be a pig in the city.
-Thank you.
Let me play in the mud before
I become Dylan's sugar mama.
-Okay.
-Fair, like, oink-oink.
-Like, treat me bad.
-So bad.
Right? Guys, I wish I wasn't
surprising my parents tomorrow,
'cause I really wanted
to get into something strange.
Oh, my God. Like,
-that guy right there
-Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
We would fuck up
the hotel room so bad.
They would have to arrest me.
Girl, I would I would go to that
trial. Oh, my God, he's looking.
-Oh, my God. That's Ben.
-Oh, my God, he's looking at me.
Do I look okay?
-You look incredible.
-So good.
-This is like the best timing ever, are you joking?
-Maia, you look so hot.
Wait, and he's wearing
a wedding ring.
That's a good sign.
I'm glad Paul
could get you in. Hi!
-Thanks so much for hooking it up.
-Of course.
-Um, Ben, this is, uh
-Tallulah Stiel.
-Congrats on Formé.
-Thank you.
How does it feel to now be the
littlest fish in a very big pond?
Um, it feels so good.
I love big ponds so much.
-I bet. I bet.
-Maia killed it.
-Yeah, she did.
-Mm-hmm.
Alyssa's lucky.
Um, yeah, I'm actually not
at Alyssa180 anymore.
-Really?
-I'm on my own now.
I'm sorry, hi.
Hi, I'm Alani.
-Hi, Alani.
-Maia and her boyfriend
are on a break,
so we're just stepping out to
Yeah, um, so we were
just like, fuck it, let's party.
-Nice. Yeah.
-You know? Yeah.
-Do you wanna sit with us?
-Oh, no, that's sweet of you.
I'm actually about to go out
with my wife and some friends.
But I think my tab's open
at the bar if you, you know,
guys want a little night out
on the company.
Why, 'cause you're trying
to poach Tallulah?
Maybe I'm trying to poach you.
You know, it was so forgetful
of me to leave my card here.
If I could stop by the hotel
tomorrow and come pick it up?
Yeah, sounds good.
-Okay, good.
-Mm-hmm.
-Be safe tonight, guys.
-Bye.
Oh, my God!
-Oh, my God.
-What just happened?
You guys, I am fucking Ben
tomorrow.
-What?!
-Um, that was so weird
that he said that about
the little fish in the big pond.
-Like, why did he say that?
-No, I think I think that's good.
Like, fish grow bigger
in a bigger pond.
Like, more food, more room.
That's why I'm so tall.
-Uh-huh.
-'Cause my house was so big.
Oh, can you guys believe
he left his card here?
Thank God.
I maxed mine out
-on the hotel rooms.
-What?
Maia, I thought
Formé was paying.
It's fine, it's fine.
It's a business expense.
You're gonna make
our money back.
-You're killing it, okay?
-That part.
-Mm-hmm.
-I'm so proud of you.
I'm so proud of both
of you guys.
We deserve to celebrate.
-Let's get some shots.
-Oh, my God, yes.
-Shots! Should we get fucked up?
-Let's celebrate. Yes!
-Shots!
-Ready? Cheers, you guys.
-I mean, shots!
-Cheers, guys.
-Cheers to us!
-To Maia's last week of being single.
So, when you were like,
uh, describing this to me,
it sounded weird.
Um, but now that
I'm actually looking at it,
it's it's much weirder.
Can you just accept the
exercise for a second?
-Just pretend I'm Maia.
-Mm-hmm.
And tell me one thing
that you get frustrated by.
-Pff, okay.
-Hey.
Dylan, seriously.
Okay, uh,
so I I don't like it
when you you go jump
on your walking treadmill
every time I try to talk to you.
-That's fair, that
-Right?
that sounds really
fucking annoying.
-It is.
-And frustrating.
-It's very frustrating.
-Okay, go on. Go.
-What else?
-You know, I I think
there's kind of a general thing,
uh, which is that I
I don't feel that you
actually, like,
take what I do seriously.
Like, I'm I'm really proud
to be a teacher, you know?
And I I just don't think
that you actually respect
-what I want in life.
-I I really do.
I do.
Then, why does it then why
do I feel like you push me away
every time something more
important comes up, you know?
You feel
you feel that way?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know, maybe
because you, like,
see me for who I am,
and like, this town has just
like, I don't know, made me
bad, or and hard.
And I don't know,
I just feel like I'm scared
that I'm just gonna end up here
eating Christmas dinner alone
while you're, like,
off in New York
being the VP of a company
who makes curated playlists
for restaurants,
but it's like, at the
same time, like, I get it.
It's like they're sponsoring
your visa, it's like
If you miss Andrew,
you should just call him,
you know?
Yeah, maybe.
Did Maia send you
to check on me?
Duh, bitch.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
You know she, like,
cares about you a lot.
Yeah.
But you can go.
You don't have to stay
and babysit me, like, I'm fine.
I'm not babysitting you.
-I'm having fun, I'm ac
-You're having fun?
-Yeah, are you not having fun?
-Really?
I'm having fun, but like
Let's let's, like,
do something.
You're here alone.
Like, this is your week
to be a free man.
Like, let's go.
O-Okay, okay, I
I do have one fantasy.
Really?
Okay, great.
Let's fucking lock up
your daughters, Silverlake.
This man is about to murder
their vaginas two at a time.
Charlie.
My question is,
have you ever seen the
Ken Burns Vietnam War doc?
Uh, let's wa
let's watch that.
Yes! Really?
-Yay.
-Oh!
Mm.
Ugh, God.
Tallulah.
Tallulah.
Wake up, I think
you got your period.
-Oh.
-Ugh.
-Ow.
-My phone is dead.
I don't feel good.
I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
Oh, my God,
my head hurts so bad.
-I'm so nauseous.
-Wait, Tallulah.
What are you doing?
What?
-Oh, my God!
-What are you doing?
Go look at your fucking back
in the mirror.
-Why?
-Go, Tallulah.
You got a fucking tattoo.
Shut up, you're scaring me.
No, I can't believe
you got a fucking tattoo!
-Stop! Oh, my God!
-Oh, my God!
-Why the fuck would you get a tattoo?
-I didn't mean to!
You could have fucking Hep-C!
-Holy shit!
-Oh, my God.
-Holy shit!
-"Nightmare Before Business"?
-That makes no fucking sense!
-It's really big.
What is the point of that?
I don't know, Maia!
Oh, my God!
It's Scotty from
Dragon City Tattoos.
-Ow!
-"I had to send you this legally
-because of how drunk you seemed."
-Oh, my God, Maia.
-Bitch, you need to get a tattoo.
-No!
-Please? Please?
-Maia, I don't want one.
-Like, no.
-Do it or I'll kill myself.
Then we'll match.
It's my company name.
My God.
Fuck. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, fuck.
Fuck!
Oh, my God!
-Okay.
-Oh, it's bleeding.
-Fuck. I'm so sorry.
-It's so big.
-Um
-It's okay.
-It's okay.
-It's okay.
-Yeah.
-I like it.
-Okay.
-It's random.
-It's fine. We'll get them lasered off
-Yeah.
-when we go back to LA.
-Yeah, back to LA. It's fast.
And you said your dress tonight
is, like, classic,
elegant, right?
-Like, it goes all the way up
-Oh.
-covers the back?
-Y
Okay, so like, manager Maia's
not gonna be really happy.
But I have a surprise.
That's my surprise.
It's it's a new dress.
Wait, what happened? I thought
I thought your dress was black.
Antoine was saying that,
like, my vibe is, like, messy,
and like, I couldn't pull off
something model-y,
which is so fucking rude!
Like, yes, I can.
So, I took this one instead.
To show him you're not messy,
you stole a dress?
-No, Maia.
-Tallulah!
It's the better dress.
The dress you stole is backless!
-It is so fucking backless, okay?
-Ow! Ow!
Oh, fuck.
Dad? Mom?
Oh, my God.
Mama?
Surprise.
You're not my mom!
-Oh, my God. Alani, one second.
-Who the fuck are you?!
-What are you doing in my parents' house?
-Wait, Alani, Alani.
I am so sorry
we're meeting this way.
I did not think
you were coming to town.
Who are you?
Alani,
I'm your dad's girlfriend.
But my dad is married to my mom.
Hey.
Did we fuck last night?
-What? No.
-Oh.
We watched a
a sobering indictment
-of imperial overreach.
-Oh yeah, it's it's horrible
how we treated our boys
when they got back from battle.
Mm-hmm.
And you listened to me vent,
like, a lot, so thank you.
I mean, I think I did
a little bit of venting too.
Yes.
Not to be like a whole-ass
fudge packer about it,
but, like, I don't know,
I believe in you guys.
You're my favorite couple.
It's j-just so stupid,
because I'm stressing
about not talking to her,
but she's just probably going
through the exact same thing.
You know, we should just
fucking talk, and that's it.
Uh, okay, sign.
Look, bitch, she's literally
calling me to, like
-No.
-see how it went with you, yeah.
-You think so?
-I know her. Yeah, duh.
You wanna
you wanna listen in?
-Yeah, yeah.
-Okay.
-Hey, sista.
-Charlie?
What's on your mind?
The only fucking thing
on my mind right now
is that we have a full
fucking dress disaster,
and the dinner is tonight.
-Oh, Mai.
-Like, okay.
-Sorry, give me one
-So, Antoine fit Tallulah
-in a black dress, and it's just like
-Sorry.
not a moment,
and it
-That's my whole fucking point. It's my whole fucking point.
-It's been ever since
I I can't.
Charlie, I can't, okay?
It's been it's
are you list Charlie?
Sorry, what what happened?
Quiet, Tallulah's puking
in the bathroom.
Okay, you know this world
better than I do.
Is Antoine, like,
a vengeful person,
or is he, like,
chill about stealing?
I can put a jacket over it
-and it will cover it.
-No. No.
-Maia, yes.
-We have to return the green dress
and get yours back.
Charlie said if you steal
from Antoine,
that he'll blacklist you.
Being a model seems so bleak.
Like, I don't wanna get
bullied all the time.
No, totally.
-Oh, my God.
-What?
Ben just texted me.
"I wanna talk about a role
for you at my company."
"Maybe I should come by
your hotel room in an hour."
"I need that card back."
-Maia?
-I don't know.
Oh, my God, are you serious?
It's like, you don't have
to feel guilty.
You guys are on a break.
You're allowed to fuck
other people.
And I think that when Dylan
sees how much money
you're making at Mercer,
he's gonna forget
what you guys
were even mad about.
Yeah, I mean, that job
would be so amazing, right?
Yeah, for both of us.
It's like a lot of pressure
being your only client.
It's not here.
I found it.
It's just like, I wish it wasn't
such a fucking boring dress.
Hey, you will make it
the look, okay?
You're magnetic.
You're gonna meet insane people.
It's gonna be an epic
fucking night, okay?
-Mm-hmm.
-So, wear the dress.
Okay.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Um
Do you wanna
-Uh, I have your card.
-Oh.
So, do you wanna come
or I'll grab it for you.
-You can come in. Um
-Yeah.
There is maybe
a tattoo place on there.
So, um, I am sorry
if you got a big charge
last night.
Yeah.
I got a big charge last night.
You wanna fuck me?
-Yeah.
-Yeah?
Mm-mm.
Touch yourself.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
You like that?
Uh-huh.
You gonna jerk off too?
Mm-mm.
I'm just gonna watch you.
And then you're gonna fuck me?
No.
Not today.
-Okay.
-Mm-hmm.
Well, just so you know,
this is, like
this week is, like, my main
window
in terms of fucking,
like, indefinitely.
So
Oh, my God.
You gonna cum for me?
-I'm gonna cum.
-Cum.
That was fun.
So, got some good news.
Mercer Digital has an opening.
One of our managers
went on paternity leave,
so he's fired.
I, uh, assume you're interested.
We have considerably
more resources than Alyssa did.
$380,000.
Sorry, I know you
wrote it on here
so I wouldn't say it out loud.
It's just, like, uh,
a really big number.
Well, we'd share
Tallulah together, so,
you know,
we'd spend a lot of time
implementing Mercer strategy, whatnot.
Yeah.
Um, well
I'll have to talk
to Tallulah and
think on it.
Um, but I will
I will let you know.
You're adorable.
You think you make
these choices.
What?
You like to be told what to do.
-No, I don't.
-Maia.
You quit your job, you
broke up with your boyfriend,
and you came to New York
when I called.
Imagine what I'll get you to do
when you're working for me again.
Hm?
Shit. Fuck.
Oh, wow, is this
Tallulah's look for tonight?
Um, yeah.
God, Antoine is so smart,
you know?
Show everyone your client
cleans up nice,
can sit at the big kids' table.
And next year,
you swing for the fences.
I like it.
You better get dressed, too.
We can't have you showing up
to the Formé dinner
looking like you just
got fucked.
It's so stupid.
Like, all of the relationships
that I've sabotaged
because they weren't my dad.
Being particular's okay, Alani.
I was just waiting for a guy
that would divorce
the entire world
for his soulmate.
And now, I find out
he and my mom
aren't even soulmates.
So, it's like
all fucking bullshit?
Sorry, honey, I never meant
to break up a marriage,
but when Leon and I met,
everything made sense.
For the both of us.
D-Does my mom know?
Not yet.
He's going to tell her.
He just didn't wanna ruin
their anniversary.
Hey.
Your father's not a bad man,
Alani, okay?
Fuck. Fuck.
Um, I think that's them.
Okay, it's okay.
Don't worry. Hey, hey, hey.
It's time to just rip off
the Band-Aid.
Yeah?
I need a vacation
from that vacation.
It was great anyway.
-Hey!
-Alani!
-What are you doing here, honey?
-Hi, Mom.
-This is a great surprise.
-Dad.
Well, who's your friend?
My friend? Is that how
we're gonna play this?
-What?
-Hey, Leon. I've missed you.
Who the fuck are you?
-I'm Denise Howard.
-Oh, shit.
We're connected
by the star Polaris,
and I'm here to finally
give you a message.
Oh, shit! Fuck!
Remember me!
-Oh, fuck!
-What the actual fuck?!
-What is going on?
-What the fuck?!
-Goddammit!
-Oh, my God! My God!
-Alani, call the police!
-Call the police!
-What the
-Wait, wait, so are you
or are you not having
an affair with Denise?
What?!
Of course not!
-Oh!
-That lunatic's been following me for 15 years.
-I thought she was in jail.
-Oh, my God.
-She used to send me bullets every week.
-Oh.
-Oh, fuck!
-That Denise.
-Don't squeeze it!
-I know Denise. I'm sorry.
I knew you guys were soulmates.
I love you, Dad.
Sorry, sorry, I'm here.
Mimi's jet had a female pilot.
-Charlie!
-Hi, how are you?
I didn't think
you were gonna make it.
Is that it?
Maybe.
I cannot believe
you pulled this off.
What are you talking about? When
have I ever not pulled something off?
Can I give you credit
for a second?
You were right.
Your instinct was right.
This the black dress
was not it.
-Like, what is this?
-No. Right?
Like, what's the fucking point
of Formé
if it's, like,
not even a moment?
-Like
-No, it's not a moment.
You're sure Antoine
won't be pissed though, right?
No, I mean,
if she looks fabulous,
which she will,
he'll take credit for it,
and, you know, all will be good.
Charlie,
I'm so grateful for you.
I know. I know, love.
-I really am that girl.
-You are.
How are you?
-You fuck Ben?
-Ugh.
No, he was just,
like, a little mean
and he watched me jerk off.
-Classic.
-It's just, I don't wanna work for him.
Why? Why not?
Because the sex
was like a sneak preview
of what the job would be.
It's like, I say what I want,
he laughs, he does
what he wants.
It's like, "Ooh, what if
Alyssa was a misogynist?"
It's like, okay, cool,
my ideas get buried again,
and now I have to look at
dick pics on Microsoft Teams.
Okay, then fuck it.
Like, don't work for him.
I know but, like,
Tallulah really wanted me
to take the job.
What am I gonna say?
Like, I turned down 400 grand
because Ben was a dick?
Four-hundred grand?
That you you should take
you've always wanted 400 grand.
-Like, maybe take the
-Charlie.
Okay, okay, okay.
Here's what you do.
Just like, tell Tallulah
it was all bullshit.
There is no job,
there was never a job,
he was just trying to fuck you.
Like, lie?
"Like, lie?"
Yeah.
You could lie.
What, are you three?
Yeah, it's like,
she's your client.
Sometimes you're gonna have
to lie to her to protect her.
-But this lie feels bigger.
-Okay.
Well, it means
you're leveling up, kid.
That's good.
It's good for you.
Alright.
Now, tell that dumb fucking cunt
to get down here
and get her dress on,
'cause that bitch be late.
Don't be late.
-No, we will not be late.
-Promise me you won't be late.
-I'm gonna make her hustle.
-You're gonna kill it.
-You both are gonna kill it.
-We will not be.
I'm very proud.
I'm very proud right now.
-Thank you, I love you.
-Love you.
Wait, oh, my God.
What did Dylan say?
Like, how did he seem? I
feel so crazy not talking to him.
He misses you.
Yeah, a lot.
I'm gonna call him.
Like, fuck seven days.
-I love you.
-I love you.
-I'm proud of you.
-I love you so much.
I'll see you. Mwah.
Do you need to get that?
Um, no, it was
it was probably just a
a misdial anyway, so.
Yeah, um, I sh I should
probably get going.
I mean, I'm sure you got,
like, a bunch of work
-to get done today, so.
-No.
Why? It's Saturday.
Maybe we can go see
a movie or something.
Go for a walk.
Mm.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Maia.
This is amazing.
Ben is a fucking idiot.
Like, I cannot believe
he didn't offer you
a fucking job.
That's crazy.
I mean, he did, but only if
I dropped you as a client,
and I was like, "Fuck, no."
-You did not.
-Yes, I did.
You're my fucking family.
Maia360, here we come.
Yeah.
Okay, breathe all of the air
out of your body.
-Oh, my God, Maia!
-Sorry.
-Hey.
-Hey.
I was surprised when you texted.
Uh
I brought you something.
It might be cold.
Flew with it.
-Din Tai Fung?
-Mm-hmm.
-You bitch.
-You know, I could be basic too.
I have that capability.
You here with Mimi?
How long do I have you for?
I have nowhere else to be.
-Oh, okay, that's Maia at Tessa's restaurant.
-Oh.
Tessa's Tallulah's
new girlfriend.
Maia got a haircut, huh?
-Mm-hmm.
-Yeah, it's cute.
-It's good for her face.
-That's what I said.
It's literally what I said.
People seem stressed.
-Oh.
-Oh, sorry.
-You've been ten away for an hour!
-Excuse me.
We're gonna miss
the fucking dinner
if you don't find a way through.
Oh, my God.
Are we gonna be late
to the dinner?
I don't know,
I texted our driver,
but he said he can't
get through.
Thank you.
What the fuck is going on?
-What?
-Fuck.
Uh, hey, do you need a light?
Yeah, yeah, that'd be great.
Think I have one.
Mm, thank you.
What's going on
with all this traffic?
Some crazy stabber lady
tried to kill an actor,
-or director, or something.
-What?!
Yeah, police spotted her
in the area.
-Yeah.
-Oh, my God.
Okay.
So, the streets are, like,
completely blocked off.
We're not gonna make the dinner.
That's it.
Yeah.
If we take a car.
Okay.
-Excuse us!
-Excuse us. Sorry.
Oh! Sorry!
