(laughs) No you don't.

Yes I do, I'm the exact opposite of you.

[Sophia] I don't love everyone.

Well then you hide it well.

How's your mom, is she doing well?

[Kat] Yeah.

I'm giving her something to do.

She's a sweetheart and

what an amazing cook.

Do you remember that incredible

dinner she made for us after that

Thanksgiving weekend when we were

driving back into the city?

No.

[Sophia] You don't?

Oh, it had the most delicious wine sauce.

Yum.

I'm glad she lives next door to you,

she keeps an eye on that crazy friend.

I don't have a choice.

I'm kinda stuck there.

[Sophia] Yeah.

Do you think you'll start working again?

I'll be right back.

You excited about your big one?!

(laughs) I'm excited you're all here.

I'm not too excited about getting older.

Well we're having the party of

all parties right here in this room!

We got booze, we got hookers,

we got dentist gas.

(laughing)

Hey Ben.

I'm sorry, I'm really

sorry about what I said.

Don't worry about it.

Even if...

Even if it wasn't me that you...

I mean I want you to have everything.

I know.

I do.

Hey!

Little help?

All right, we got groceries, grab these.

You get this one?

[Sasha] Here, sorry.

[Ana] You got that?

I got it.

[Ana] Thank you.

Balloons.

[Sasha] Thank you.

Can you get the cake?

Yes yes yes yes yes.

No no no!

[Sasha] Oh sh*t!

Oh sh*t!

Oh sh*t!

(laughs) Oh man!

Oh sh*t!

You guys are awesome.

Hi.

[Ben] Hey!

You really went all out with the decor.

[Sophia] I love it, I

love a single balloon.

That's so sweet.

No, come on, they just

blew away right now.

[Sophia] Aw, I'm sorry.

[Ana] You shouldn't be sorry.

(laughing)

[Sophia] It's okay, how about

I make tea for everyone?

Oh I'd love some.

[Sophia] Okay.

[Sasha] Crazy pants there.

Where is she going?

[Ana] Did you see her take

something while we were out?

No, I mean not that I know of.

She had a few mimosas.

[Sasha] I thought

she was getting better.

[Sophia] I think she needs more time.

Whoop.

Okay.

Just act natural.

[Sophia] What's happening over here.

(idle chatter)

I'm fine, guys.

Whatever.

[Sasha] Aww, beautiful.

(laughing)

Adorable.

Oh my gosh.

Oh, I think I forgot about this,

is this how he proposed?

Yeah.

[Sasha] That's so adorable.

[Sophia] Yeah, I know.

It was wrapped in a little box

and I opened it Christmas morning.

Right, right.

You're so lucky.

I mean about you and

Ben, I wasn't saying...

I wasn't saying you're lucky.

No, I know what you meant.

I am lucky.

I miss you.

Looking at you makes me

realize how much I miss you.

I'm coming here more often.

I promise you.

I would love that.

Is there something special

you wanna do this weekend?
