So I'm raising equity for a new startup.

We're in our very first round of financing.

I thought it might be something

you'd be interested in.

Okay, what's the company?

It's not so much of a company per se

as it is seed money.

Investing in the daily cog of my life.

What you'd be investing in is my expertise.

Your expertise?

You're a trust fund kid, Ellis.

I wouldn't know your expertise,

if you put a handgun to my head. Anyway,

a high percentage of these startups fail,

and there's always the risk of losing

your friend's money and the friendship.

I'm just asking for a little bit of help.

Look, Ellis, the last thing that I want

is for these family reunions to turn

more into what the startup is doing

than about catching up

with friends and family.

I just don't think I'm the right guy.

Yup.

Yup, well, your loss.

Bees! Bees!

Bees!

Did he call?

- No.

- He's such an a**hole.

We were supposed to play

the small ball tonight.

Hey, at least we have each other.

Right?

I got attacked by a whole

goddamned swarm of bees.

It's this f***ing shirt.

Jesus, it's like they think they can

smell nectar on me or something.

Bees can sense fear.

Sorry. Sorry.

He did this on purpose.

Did what on purpose?

Give me a shirt that was meant to kill me.

- That's ridiculous.

- Is it?

Jay's coming back tomorrow.

Let's just let it go for now, okay?

Oh, that feels good.

You're very pretty.

Thanks.

- Come on.

- No.

- Come on.

- I'm not in the mood.

Then how about just doing it for me?

- I don't want to.

- Come on, Wendy.

Ellis, I don't want to.

- Are you still in love with him?

- With who?

Saul. Saul, Wendy.

No. Why? Did he say something to you?

No.

No, he didn't say anything.

I could see it with my own eyes.

Look, maybe I'm the small person here

but this whole being friends

with the ex-husband thing, it's weird.

I have a child with him.

I mean, what do you want me to do?

I want to feel like you love me the most.

I don't want to talk about this right now,

okay? We have a full house of guests.

- What more can I do?

- Ellis.

- What... what more can I do?

- Ellis.

- Huh?

- I can't do this. I'm sorry.

No...

How much rejection am I supposed to take?

What's the best nap you've ever taken?

When I was little,

I used to pretend to be asleep

so I could hear my mom

and Dad talk about me.

They would say, "That one's a goner"

and then my dad would pick me up

and carry me to bed.

- Yeah?

- How about you?

I haven't really fallen asleep

in a long time.

Hey, buddy.

Do you think a kitty hurt it?

Baby birds fall or...

and sometimes they get pushed

from their nest.

- Why?

- To learn to fly.

That's mean.

No, it's normal.
