- Is it great?

How could it be any better

than this right now?

We got music,

it's two degrees outside,

we're having coffee.

I mean, getting laid would be

nice every once in a while.

Totally. How long has it been?

I'd rather not say.

Oh, my God.

- What?

- Oh, my God.

How many weeks?

It's been months!

- Will you stop?

- How many months?

Maybe... I don't know.

I don't have a sex calendar

where I mark off the days.

It was definitely warmer

the last time I had sex.

- Oh, my God.

- It's not that big a deal.

You remember it's like

some distant season.

In spring.

There were buds on the tree.

Will you have sex

with my friend?

Ow.

You are so in love with him.

Shut up.

I'm not in love with him,

I just love him.

There is a distinction.

You know,

he's sweet and charming,

and I just wanna see him

with a nice girl, that's all.

Maybe he doesn't want

a nice girl.

Oh, come on. Of course he does.

Who doesn't want a nice girl?

I don't know.

Maybe he likes being alone.

That's what he says, but...

I don't know. I don't buy it.

Why not?

I love that he doesn't need

to be with someone all the time.

I'm not saying he needs to

be with someone all the time.

Just, you know, some of time.

I mean, I've never seen him

with anyone except these...

creepy new-age girls

who torture him.

I mean, you would not

believe some of things

he's told me

these girls say and do,

in the name of

going with the flow.

It sucks.

I know.

Yeah?

Hmm?

You know? What do you know?

What do you mean?

Oh, my God, I caught you!

Em, I know when you're

not listening to me.

I'm sorry.

- Unbelievable.

- I'm sorry!

I'm distracted.

You know that work

is crazy right now.

So why don't you close your

computer and hang out with me?

I will in a second.

Let me just do

this one thing, okay?

I'm meeting with the election

committee woman tomorrow.

- Okay.

- What?

Nothing.

What are you doing?

- Nothing.

- Mm-hmm.

I thought you were

making us dinner.

It's cookin', good-lookin'.

- So tell me this.

- Mm-hmm.

Can your election

committee woman do this?

Stop that. That's disgusting.

Oh, come on.

- Do not be mad at me.

- I'm not mad.

I'm very, very sorry.

You did stick your tongue

in my ear.

It's kinda wet and gross.

No. You know what?

I'm not into it anymore.

Yes, you are. You're always

into it, you little nymph.

- F*** off.

- Sweetie...

I'm sorry if I'm attracted

to my girlfriend.

I was kidding.

Come on, I was kidding.

Huh?

- Huh?

- You always do this!

- What?

- No, you know what?

If I have to explain it,

just forget it.

Come on.

Don't be such

a little baby, huh?

- Can't take a joke suddenly.

- F*** you.

Why aren't you ticklish?
