- sorry. -You know,

it's no big deal,

but, can you not keep

calling me "babe"?

Sorry, force of habit.

Oh, I got a call

from the wedding planner.

The hotel's gonna give us back

50% of our deposit.

Ooh, 50%, how generous of them.

You really thought

we were ready to get married?

- I thought I was, yeah.

- You really think that?

You were out at clubs

every night.

You know, you were gone

on the weekend.

I rarely book weekend gigs.

- Very rarely.

- Okay, just, all right.

Anyway, whatever. I'm sure you'll

be very happy here with...

- Rob?

- Ron.

Ron, the DJ.

Grandmaster Ron, right?

The Yankees fan.

He's not a Yankees fan.

- Okay, he just likes the hat.

- That's even worse.

What about your vintage

Milwaukee brewers jacket?

In Boston, no one gives a sh*t

about the Milwaukee brewers.

They're in different leagues.

It's not a competition.

That's what makes it ironic.

What's his DJ name anyway?

- He doesn't have a DJ name.

- Too cool for a DJ name.

- No.

- He's above that.

- DJ no name. -Look, he is

a nice guy, all right?

He's happy.

He's not tortured.

He doesn't get angry at me

if I order pour over coffee.

That one BARISTA was a prick.

- Okay, look...

- With his little spout.

Okay, look, I want to be

with somebody who doesn't

feel the need to categorize every

known flaw in the material world.

I'm an observational comic,

babe. Emily.

- Okay? It's what I do.

- Is it?

- Yes. -Is it? Because

the comedy clubs

don't seem to appreciate

how funny you are.

They barely pay you.

You know, in advertising,

people knew

how talented you were.

They did.

They gave you awards.

I mean, they still ask about you

down at the agency all the time.

Well, you can tell them

I'm still paying my dues.

Hey man.

How did it go?

Good.

Really good.

Good, that's good.

Good.

What she wanted was stability.

That's what she wanted.

She wanted stability.

She wanted comfort.

She wanted reliability.

She wanted a sturdy foundation

to build a future on.

And I get it. That's what I wanted, too.

I can't blame her for that.

Yeah. Let me ask you

a question.

Where do you think

that comes from?

Certainly doesn't come

from being with somebody

who doesn't believe in you,

and I believe in you.

And you used to believe

in yourself

and that's why we're going

on this tour.

That's why we're gonna go to

Philly, we're gonna go to D.C.,

we're gonna go all the way

down to Georgia, man.

And it's gonna be great.

We're gonna get your mojo back.

- Mojo?

- Yeah!

I'm not looking

to date anyone, Jason.

Who said about dating anybody?

This is the road, okay?

Commitments run light.

Sh*t, get this man a beer.
