[Sasha] I know this is private,

and you don't have to answer, but can

I ask you something really personal?

I never feel comfortable asking Sophia.

[Ben] Sure, yeah, go ahead.

What do you guys do about sex?

[Ana] Oh my God, Sasha.

[Ben] No, it's okay.

Nothing really.

We just...

We don't.

She says she can't, so...

She can't?

Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know.

[Sasha] You mean physically?

The doctors say she can.

[Sasha] Wow, so there's

a lot going on with her.

And you're okay with that?

Yeah, it's not really

that big of a deal.

[Sasha] That's a huge deal, Ben.

Two years, it's a long time.

Yeah, but I don't

know, I think anything's

worth it if you love

someone enough, right?

[Sasha] I don't think,

no, no I don't think so.

There's no way that can be enough.

Ugh, Ben, you're amazing and loyal.

[Ben] No, I'm not loyal.

[Sasha] Yes you are.

[Ana] It's pretty sexy too.

I'm not f***ing loyal, I mean

I drove the car into a tree.

[Ana] All right, all right, we don't

have to talk about it, seriously.

Wait, why we have to

stop talking about it?

[Sasha] I don't know...

No, I drove the car into, hey!

I drove the car into a tree, right?

I drove it into a tree, we all get that.

I put her in the f***ing

wheelchair, but I love her, right?

No no, it's not loyalty.

And what are you talking

about, what are you saying?

No, no, I wasn't saying anything...

I love her, it's not...

Are you talking about leaving her?

[Sasha] What, no!

I was not saying anything about

leaving her, I was just asking

what you guys, what you, how you...

I don't know, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

No, I'm sorry, you know, I...

[Sasha] No, don't

apologize, don't apologize.

It's awful, it's none of my business.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

We passed the market.

You think these people

are in love for real?

I don't know.

[Kat] They probably see

each other twice a year.

We can ask Ana.

She wishes she were that famous.

And Paul's not an actor.

[Sophia] Yeah I know, but

she knows some of those people.

Does she seem happy to you?

I mean all she does is talk

about her character and shop.

I think she's shopping all the time.

She's making a lot of money now,

maybe she's making up for lost time.

But I wanna talk about you.

How's Ethan?

Who?

Ethan, that guy you

couldn't stop talking about?

Oh yeah, that ended.

[Sophia] I didn't know that.

Yeah, like the third or

fourth date he was wearing

this necklace and it

just didn't seem right.

I don't understand, like a

religious symbol or something?

No, I just thought a

girl should be wearing it.

Oh.

I thought you really liked him.

[Kat] I don't like anyone.

I actually hate everybody.
