It costs the same price.

Come on.

It's easy,

just click the button.

- Hello?

- (CLEARS THROAT)

Wow. You're...

- You're really hot.

- (NINA CHUCKLES)

That's very sweet.

You're... You're smokin '.

Please. My God.

You could be my little brother.

God, you are...

You're a MILF.

I'm a MILF?

No, maybe you're

not so much a MILF.

Like, you're not a cougar yet,

'cause you're not that old.

- You're like a puma.

- What's a puma?

It's like the step

before a cougar.

That's really depressing.

You know what? Let's play a game.

For a million dollars,

would you f*** a dirty,

smelly, hairy homeless guy?

Oh, my God, no.

- No? For a million dollars?

- No!

- Okay, two million.

- No.

Bullshit. Come on.

Five million. Five million.

Five million? Okay.

(LAUGHS)

You see,

everybody has their price.

Okay, this is what he wrote.

"Hey, thanks for

liking my song.

"I was nervous

about posting it. I know, I'm weird."

(BOTH LAUGH)

- Okay, say...

- Jason.

What's up, Billy?

Say...

- "I think weird is sexy."

- Oh, yeah, that's good.

Perfect. Okay.

- Did he get it?

- He got it.

He's smiling!

Mom, oh, my God,

the f-ing funniest thing happened today.

Abigail, would you

stop that please?

What?

- F-ing. The f-ing thing.

- ABBY:
Sorry. Anyway...

- You know that girl Malinda Goodman?

- RICH:
No.

Yeah, well, she had, like, this laser

treatment thing, you know, hair removal.

Anyway, there can be this side effect

sometimes where you grow more hair.

(LINDA GASPS)

I know. I swear, the girl

has a f***ing beard.

- Hey.

- Sorry.

Okay. That's enough.

Hey, Ben.

Can you please not do that at the table?

He is.

This is an annoying client, that's

what this is. Dad is working.

What is it, your girlfriend?

RICH:
His what?

Girlfriend? Ben!

BEN:
It's just a friend.

You type away.

Now, is this

a friend from school?

It's from Ridgewood.

Freakwood.

Guys, come on,

you're boring your mother and I.

It's okay, I'm out, anyway.

- What? Come on.

- Yeah. Me, too.

Okay. Well, you're excused, both of you.

- Well, Ben's officially there, huh?

- Where?

He's at that age where

you have to pull every word out of him.

(PHONE BUZZING)

He's 15. Oh.

I gotta take this.

I was 17 before I started talking,

you know? Hey.

Henry, I understand that. Listen,

that's your job, okay? Yeah, exactly.

(INDISCERNIBLE CHATTER)

MAN ON TELEVISION:

So what do we talk about?

State Senator Crisswell, who's backing

plans to stop the sign program

and would join a dozen states

to stop using the sign.

(DOG BARKING DISTANTLY)

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

- Hey.

- DEREK:
Hey.

- How's El Paso?

- Oh, it's great.

Um, have you used

the MasterCard for something?
