mmm-mmm-mmm.

Is it too sexy?

Almost too sexy.

Harvey, am i

a gay man in the '60s

looking to bone?

-All right, fine.

-I mean, come on.

You know what?

You wanna be a goddamn pill,

be a goddamn pill.

I'd rather take one

than be one.

What?

What did you just say?

I said

I'd rather take one

than be one.

Why does everything gotta be

a quip, a little dig?

It's-- it's--

it's unpleasant.

I'll tell you that.

Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm,

mmm-mmm-mmm.

Oh, my god, please.

Are you going to take

the helmet off for dinner?

I don't know.

Is it safe?

What?

I don't know if it's safe

to take it off.

Because I feel like--

we're in a fricking

restaurant, Harvey.

Danger zone here.

I might need it

for some sort of protection.

Well, just so you know,

you do look

mentally challenged.

Well, that's fine.

Because you know what?

It's the opposite of sexy.

Being married to you

is challenging

in so many ways--

mentally, emotionally,

physically--

that, to me,

it seems fitting

that I would look challenged,

sitting here with you.

-Mmm, I'm sure.

-Okay.

I am gonna

take a leak.

Order me

the French dip.

Hello.

I'm so sorry

to bother you.

Two French dips,

side, creamed spinach--

-no, I'm not a waitress.

-Okay, well, I'm broke.

-And I'm not interested

in what you're selling.

-I'm not soliciting anything.

Okay, well, I don't think

you think I'm a hooker,

unless you're an idiot

or a very hopeful lesbian.

Oh-- oh, god.

I didn't know

you were lesbians.

No, no, we're not lesbians,

nor hopefuls.

Well, actually, she is.

I'm not.

-Hi. I'm Vivian prudeck.

-Hello.

I'm in the area

making a documentary

for BBC films

about the concept

that marriage--

how much?

Should be a contract

that expires after seven years--

married 31.

How much?

Well,

it's quite a modest budget.

But it's more the cachet

of participa--

20k, five percent.

3,000, two percent,

and that is more than generous.

Seventeen and three,

and I'll throw in

some domestic abuse.

Four and 2.5,

and that's my final offer,

with the domestic abuse.

Twelve and four,

and I'll give you

a trial separation

at some point mid-shoot.

-You're bluffing.

-Bluffing is for children.

Don't insult me.

I'll give you 10,000

and three percent

if you deliver

all of the above

and... Divorce papers.

You've been listening

to widespread panic radio.

To build your custom blinds,

say "yes" to

rightnowblinds.Com.

It's just

seamless and easy.

There it is.

What's wrong?

Our accountant says

we have to file.

For what?

Uh, for chapter 13.

So, uh--

but don't worry.

Lenny says

it's just to reorganize

so we don't have to

lose the house.

Lose the house?

What?
