I'm expecting a call.

- You've got a pager.

- I can't talk on a pager!

- Ellen, get off the phone.

- You are such a dick!

Get off the phone, Ellen!

Mom, tell Ellen to get off the phone.

- Ellen!

- Hello?

Sorry about that.

You still there?

Yeah.

Where are you?

I'll come over.

- Now?

- Yes. Why don't I come over?

- Hello?

- Hello, it's me.

The gate's broken,

so just give it a jiggle and then push.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- I'm Emily.

- I'm Oliver.

You're not Oliver.

That's it? I thought

you'd at least invite him in.

You owe me 10 dollars.

I knew he wasn't you,

you're not that good-looking.

She says you're not that good looking.

- She didn't say that.

- What did he tell you I said?

- I said you were good-looking.

- Told you.

That's what I said. You...

She didn't say that.

She's backpedaling.

- He's a little...

- He's saying you're crazy.

Yeah, I got that.

Did she honk?

Why?

- My wife. I'm going. Bye.

- Bye.

Thanks for the ride.

Have fun.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- You look different.

- So do you.

- But, good different.

- You, too. I like your hair.

Thank you.

I'm still signing.

Why? I don't know.

I'm stopping, okay.

Your brother screen

all your dates?

This is a date?

Can I get you anything to drink?

A tea or a soda?

- I'm good, thanks.

- Just gonna grab a beer.

I can't believe you assumed

this was what this was about.

You can't believe I assumed

that what was about the what?

Because I'm not the same girl

you met 3 years ago.

I mean, I'm the same girl,

but it's not the same situation.

I understand.

I don't need to sleep

with someone

after every stupid breakup

just to prove she's still got it. I...

Yeah.

What are you doing?

I am looking

for your crazy pills.

They have to be around here

for moments like these, right?

That's not funny.

What if I really was crazy?

Have you eaten today?

How can you live in LA

and not have a car?

I had a car, then I sold it.

I needed the capital for my business.

That's right.

The plan! The ducks.

It's all coming back to me now.

Only two and a half more years

until you're rich.

Is your wife gonna live

in your parents' basement with you?

- I don't live with my parents.

- Just visiting?

I was just picking some stuff up

'cause I'm moving.

"Diaperrush. Com"?

That's what it says.

We sell diapers on the Internet.

I thought the whole Internet thing

was done already.

- Just need a good business plan.

- Diapers?

- How's Bon Jovi? Does he still rock?

- Who?

Oh, him. He switched bands

and moved to Seattle.

Nice. Hope he knows how to steam milk

and make chocolate shavings.

Big talk coming from

a diaper salesman.

Okay.

And the latest breakup? What's he do?
