-You may end up with someone's whole life.

-l think this is my life.

-lt doesn't seem like somebody else's.

-Check.

What do you think?

-l look so--

-Dangerous? Sexy?

-Stripped down, ready for action?

-That's not what l was thinking, exactly.

Well, you are definitely gonna start

turning heads around here now.

Bobby...

-...what do you like about me?

-What?

Do you...?

-Do you like me?

-l like you. Of course l like you.

l mean, could you...?

You know, do you have...?

God, l can't believe

you're gonna make me say it.

Do you think l'm attractive?

l....

That's what l thought

you were gonna ask.

And, yes, l-- Absolutely, l do.

Good.

That's good.

Well, there's just no smooth

or sophisticated way to do this, is there?

Clare.

No, listen.

You talk too much, darling.

lf you don't shut up,

l will come to my senses...

...and realize how stupid

and self-destructive this is.

l have to tell you, l've never...

...you know...

...done this before.

-Pardon me?

-l've never...

...you know....

-Never?

-No.

Does that freak you out?

No.

l mean, yes, of course it freaks me out!

Jesus Christ.

l guess maybe we should stop.

Maybe.

Because, you know...

...l may not be the most, like...

...adept.

Oh, honey.

You think l'm upset

because you might not be adept?

-ls that what you think?

-No.

l guess.

Okay, junior...

...mama's gonna teach you

a thing or two.

Are you nervous?

Don't be.

This is the most natural thing

in the world.

All right.

lt's all right.

Sorry l missed dinner.

Where is everybody?

Jonnie...

...are you okay?

Are you okay?

l guess.

-You should go back to Clare.

-No, man...

...l don't wanna leave you alone.

You should go back to Clare.

Really.

Bobby?

Lovey, wakey, wakey!

l am not here. You never saw me.

l'm just the cleaning lady. So sorry.

You were in bed.

We tucked you in at 2 a.m.

l went out again.

-Fun?

-Sort of.

Potential?

l don't think so.

So, what do we do now--?

-See you later, babies.

-Jonnie--

Oh, it's entirely fine. There's a whole world

full of art boys just outside.

No worries. Love you.

Hey, man.

What are you doing up here?

Some queen next door's got Mozart cranked.

l couldn't tear myself away.

Opera, huh?

Clare loves you.

l love Clare.

Doesn't this all seem sort of strange?

No, man, it's perfect.

Just like this.

Bobby, l'm starting to feel a little extra.

You're essential, man.

Let's dance.

-You can't dance to opera.

-You can dance to anything.

What are you doing?

A little kiss between brothers.

Nothing wrong with that.

Jon?

Jonnie?

Clare! Clare, wake up!

What?

Jonathan...

...you a**hole! God.

We gotta find him.

Honey, he isn't lost. He left.
