My meeting with him

is on Thursday.

I have no idea

what I'm gonna wear.

- It doesn't matter what you wear.

- Of course it matters.

I have to be sexy.

It's all based on whether

or not we have chemistry.

Paul:
Clothes have nothing

to do with chemistry.

He'll think you're sexy

or he won't.

You're being naive. I have to put

some energy into what...

Oww! You stuck

your nails into my back.

I'm sorry.

I was trying not to tickle.

Why are you

so against me?

What?

I said it was an accident.

No, what you said about

my audition, my clothes.

I have a deadline.

I have to work.

That's all.

I'll call you

tomorrow.

The truth

should be known.

Mom,

what's a "lippen section"?

It's a procedure they do

to make you look thinner.

Why?

So I can look better,

feel better about myself.

It's an improvement.

I want to tear

my skin off.

What?

I want it to be

the same as yours.

You're skin's gorgeous.

But I like yours.

But mine is wrinkled

and old and saggy.

Why would you want

to have skin like that?

Mom, they're clean

already.

A man flirted with me today.

He was at the dry cleaner's.

You spend too much on dry cleaning.

You should hand-wash.

Is that really the point?

What is the point?

Nobody wants my chairs.

- Did you try a lot of places?

- Just one.

Part of me is relieved.

I think deep down

I just want to keep them.

Why does it

make you mad?

Because

you're not nine.

- Oh!

- You need to make a living.

That's probably why

you don't want to sleep with me.

First of all,

you got that bladder infection.

Then you had

that yeast infection.

Oh, God!

You make me sound so appealing.

Why don't you just admit

you're not attracted

to me anymore?

I'm still

attracted to you.

(scoffs)

I am.

(door squeals)

- Hi.

- Hi.

Annie:
Mom's getting

cut up now?

- In surgery?

- Pretty soon.

Do you want to know

what she did the other day?

What?

She was taking me

to my date with Lorraine.

She got into the car and tried to

drive but forgot to turn the car on.

- She's a mess.

- Annie:
Like what do you mean?

She's totally

out of it.

Like what

do you mean?

It's a choice.

She goes through life in a daze so

she won't have to deal with reality.

And what's reality?

Reality is what is.

It's like the facts of your life.

Mom doesn't like the facts

of her life so she tunes them out.

Annie:
What's wrong

with her life?

Nothing, if you consider

that she has one.

(chuckles)

She's not alive?

Never mind.

I'll see you in recovery.

It'll be a piece of cake.

What kind... mocha?

(chuckles)

God, I can't believe

I just said that.

He's not

interested in me.

He's probably married.

And no offense, Mom, but this man
