- I pray thee, gentle mortal,
sing again.
Mine ear is much enamored
of thy note.
So is mine eye enthralled
to thy shape.
And thy fair virtues
force perforce
doth move me on the first view
to say, to swear, I love thee.
-Well, methinks, mistress,
you should have
little reason for that.
And yet, to say the truth,
reason and love keep little
company together nowadays.
'Tis more the pity
that some honest neighbors
will not make them friends.
Nay, nay, nay.
I can gleek upon occasion.
- Thou art as wise
as thou art beautiful.
-Oh, not so neither.
But if I had wit enough to get
out of this wood,
uh, I have enough to serve
mine own turn.
Toodle-oo.
- Out of this wood
do not desire to go.
whether thou wilt or no.
I am the spirit
of no common rate.
upon my state.
And I do love thee.
- Jane, where are you?
We needed you back
five minutes ago.
-Oh!
-Who is that?
Hello?
I can't see,
but I know you're there.
Stage manager,
can you call security?
This is not
"phantom of the opera."
It's bloody Shakespeare!
Hey, working girl.
I've been waiting in the lobby
about 15 minutes.
Come on.
You smell like a cigarette.
- Well, sh*t.
I sprayed perfume.
It didn't help. You reek.
-Don't run and go tell mom.
- I don't run and tell.
You smell like smoke.
She asks me
if you're still smoking.
You must be smoking.
You don't smoke in your costume,
do you?
- Are you hungry yet?
I'm starving.
- You're starving?
- Yeah.
-You ate like five hours ago.
- Well, rehearsal
takes a lot out of me.
I noticed
in your work today, too, huh?
Jane? Jane?
Come on.
No, no, no.
Get away from there, please.
Hello?
I know you heard me.
Please don't act
like you didn't.
-I'm not gonna fall.
- You've gotten stitches
more times than I can count,
and I don't want to fish you
out of the river today.
- Eight times.
You can count to eight.
- Guys in the military
don't get that many stitches.
- Come on.
Let's get a hot dog.
-Where'd I meet rob?
-Yeah, where'd you meet rob?
- No, I heard you the first time,
Jane.
I was just taking a second.
Peanuts?
-You mean you don't remember?
-Cut me some slack.
My memory's not as sharp
as yours.
We were at a bar.
- Which bar?
- Romantic, right?
- Which bar was it?
Was it in Manhattan?
- Actually, no.
We were on the street
in front of the bar and...
-what street?
- Which street?
I don't know which street.
It was in the village somewhere.
-So you were in Manhattan.
East or west?
Was it near that park
with all the drug addicts?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's with all the questions,
Nancy drew?
-Nothing.
Just curious, I guess.
You're coming to my birthday
breakfast tomorrow, right?
-Have I ever missed it?
-Twice.
- Uh, is your new friend
Lucy coming?
The one from your class?
- I don't like
hanging out with her anymore.
She has three cats,
and there's always hair
all over her shirts.
-Ugh.
Hey, I'm sorry your birthday
lunch wasn't something fancier.
-No, this is all I wanted.
- Hi, mom.
- How was your trip?
- Brooklyn to queens? You make it
sound like some big journey.
- It's too bad
rob couldn't make it.
- Yeah, he's, uh,
working in the field today.
Had some interviews
with workers and stuff.
But he sends his love.
-Oh, we works so hard.
One day, they're gonna
give him the real juicy stuff.
- Mm.
- So, how's the apartment?
Everything, uh, unpacked?
- Yeah, pretty much.
We're gonna have some people
over tomorrow night
for a little
housewarming thing, so...
-You invited Jane, of course?
- Yeah, of course.
- Yeah!
Honey, you know what that means.
That means we have the house
all to ourselves.
-Mm-hmm. Mwah!
- Wait. Isn't Maggie coming over?
Or Hannah?
Does she still hang out
with Hannah?
-Yeah, she just...
Jane didn't want a party
this year.
You know how she doesn't like
all the commotion.
Honey, are those
chocolate-chip pancakes?
- Yes, they are.
- Oh, my god.
No.
Jane wanted blueberry.
- Janey asked
for chocolate-chip pancakes.
-I don't think she did.
-Where is that girl?
- Oh, my god. -Janey, honey?
We're all waiting on you.
Pancakes are getting cold.
- This is just not a good idea.
- Are you guys all right?
You seem a little on edge.
-No, we're good.
We're good.
And Jane's great.
She's so,
you know, high-functioning,
so independent, and...
Actually, honey,
now that we're together,
we really need to talk to you
about something.
- There's the birthday girl.
- Oh, there she is.
- Happy bir...
- No, no, no.
-25 years old.
I remember when you were
just a little peanut.
Happy birthday, kiddo.
- I don't need candles anymore.
I'm not a baby.
-Told you not to use a candle.
- Honey, adults love candles
on their birthday.
Right, Bianca?
- Yeah, of course they do.
-Yes, of course they do.
-These aren't blueberry.
- They're chocolate chip.
Your favorite, sweetie.
-Told you.
-I requested blueberry this year
because I am a woman
and not a child.
But that's okay.
I'll still eat them.
- So, Janey,
do you feel any older yet?
- No, mom still hung up balloons
and streamers
while I was sleeping.
-Uh, Jane,
tell your sister how much
you love working at her theater.
-Yeah, I like it.
I wish they'd let me design
the costumes, though,
