complaint is not that I screwed

someone; it is who I screwed.

That's what it's about, right?

So much like the

counter-intuitive plan to

secure an exclusive

relationship with a guy that

you don't actually

want to date - moi,

your issue with me and Sarah...

- Do not say her name!

- Your issue with us is purely

driven by a societal insecurity,

not to mention a culturally

infused female competition.

My heart goes out to you ladies.

Baby. You're a bad liar.

You're not stupid.

And she can't hold

a candle to you.

Can we please go home?

Please?

You know, get out of

these wet clothes.

Dry each other off

using friction.

Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Good,

You got a girlfriend, Charles?

No.

Playing the field, huh?

Be careful, you know.

Why?

I don't know if I have

time to answer that.

Wow. Bathroom f***ing stinks.

Um, what were we talking about?

So I said to Jack-

I said Jack, Lainey and I,

we're looking to buy.

Maybe have a kid.

I hope it's okay that

I said that by the way.

I mean, you haven't changed your

mind or anything, have you?

Because I know you don't want

to get married, but you know,

I do think it's important to

make some sort of commitment to

each other and I think buying

a place, maybe Kensington,

maybe Prospect Heights.

What's up little nugget, what

are you doing with the notebook?

Sam. I have to read

you something.

You've been writing again?

- Sweetie, that's great!

- No... I was never writing.

- Honey, yes!

- It was one short story...

- Yes, that is great!

No, listen. Listen.

I want to tell you something;

look at me. Look at me, okay.

I know you love teaching,

but that's not a real thing.

I mean, this is great.

- Can you just please not

interrupt me while I read this,

please. Just listen to it.

Let me get through all of it.

- I don't think

interrupt you, but go on.

- Don't.

- I don't.

- Please don't interrupt.

- I would love to hear it.

- Okay, mister.

- Wow me.

- Sam...

- Lainey.

My therapist suggested I

attend a twelve step program,

for recovery from a love

addiction and romantic obsession

- I'm sorry um, hello...

Did you say love addiction?

And romantic obsession...

- Sweetie, you might

as well face it,

you're addicted to love.

Huey Lewis.

- No, it's Robert Palmer.

...that I've had for the last

ten years. As a result I have

been able to stay faithful to

you -for the past six months-

- Okay, let me just stop you

because... I feel like...

- Sam, I'm trying

to tell you something.

I know.

I would love to hear

what you're telling me.

Can you listen to what

I'm saying to you?

- I'm trying to...

Yeah, I'm listening.

I want to move forward in our

relationship in an honest way.
