kind ofthing.

That's better.

Please don't be afraid of me.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Come on, come on.

Good night, darling.

You won't believe who's here.

Who?

Oh, my God.

Michael--ha ha ha--hi.

Jeez, I--I thought you knew

it was a barbecue.

I wanted to tell you personally.

I've been on the phone

with the lawyers.

Robert Levansky wants

to speak with you.

You're kidding.

There's a meeting.

There'll be an exclusive.

You're part ofthe deal.

Very good.

But why?

I don't know.

Frankly, I don't care.

Maybe something in the article

impressed him.

Ah, yes.

Um...here.

A gift.

Oh...

thankyou.

That's a very fiine bottle ofwine.

I'd let it breathe

for at least an hour.

As you were.

''As you were''?

Well, uh...

wine and marshmallows, anyone?

- Yay!

- Yeah!

- Yay!

Here. We need some sticks.

Okay. I'll scout the orchard.

[Click]

Ow.

[Buzzing]

Ahh!

F***.

Hi.

You scared me.

What are you doing?

Um...

sticks for marshmallows, you know?

But those bees.

Wasps.

Yellowjackets...

genus Vespula .

They all sting.

Bees won't botheryou

unless you bother them.

Wasps are different.

They're territorial,

and they're social.

Social?

Like they want to be friends?

Like they attack in groups.

We should leave.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Hey, looks like Nick

made a friend.

She's pretty.

She's like a model.

Ifyou like that kind ofthing.

Oh, don't worry, Amy.

Some guys really like girls

with small breasts.

What's with your friend Adrian?

I thought you guys

were hitting it off.

Yeah. I know,

but she gives me the creeps.

She'sjust a kid.

She's got a crush on you.

Don't be silly.

[Adrian] Hi. lt'sme.

Just thinking ofyou.

God, thatsounds corny.

Callme whenyou

get a sec, okay?

SayhitoAmy. Bye.

Nick, I've been there.

You have to be the adult.

You can't blur the line.

Are you saying I did something

to provoke this?

Well, did you?

No. Ofcourse not.

[Telephone Rings]
