and never thought about

f***ing someone else?

Well, no, of course

I've thought about it.

I've been attracted

to other people.

God, you've only been with,

like, one person

your entire life.

Ugh! It's biblical.

It's Shari'a.

Fidelity has value.

It's why it's such

a common measure

- for evaluating a relationship.

- [Sighs]

I get that you want

to evolve beyond jealousy.

I don't think it's possible.

You want to be with Reece

forever.

Is that a question?

Do you?

No.

I would like

to be with Reece

for as long as we make

each other happy.

But yes, given that,

forever is ideal.

You remember

Shannon and Jeremy, right?

They had, like,

an open relationship.

Yeah, in college.

Yeah, and they're still

together.

They have kids now

and everything.

- Doesn't count.

- [Scoffs]

- You're still attracted to Will, right?

- Yeah, of course.

- Anna?

- Yes.

And the sex

is still good?

Yes.

I mean... I think.

- [Sighs]

- You think.

Will:

You are saying

that with all the years

you've spent with Hale,

everything you...

you have together,

the love,

the trust between you,

the intimacy,

shared belongings,

your life, everything,

is so fragile

that if he were to sleep

with someone just once,

it would erase

everything you've built?

- Yes.

- That's ludi... That is ludicrous.

Why is it such a threat?

'Cause he's mine.

You sound like a child.

That is a child's answer.

William,

I love you dearly.

This is very stupid.

I'll see you tomorrow.

[Hale whistles]

Go get him.

- What's his name?

- Oh, it's Bowzer.

He's a little rowdy,

but he's a good boy.

I meant, um...

- Oh. Yeah, Aidan.

- [Laughs]

- He's darling.

- Thank you.

This is actually

the only place he sleeps,

but Bowzer likes it,

too.

Mm.

You got any kids?

Uh, no.

No.

Uh, too busy.

I run a garden center.

- Oh.

- Plants.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

It's like having

a bunch of kids, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, well,

your dog's like a kid.

Axel, yeah,

he's my sister's.

Oh.

I'm Hale.

- Hi. Glenn.

- Hey.

[Machine clanks]

Sh*t.

Again?

Third time this year.

I hate this machine.

[Upbeat music plays on stereo]

Hi, there. Let me know

if you have any questions.

It's incredible.

The smell.

Oh, that? That's cedar.

He's, uh... He's sanding.

Well, I can smell it

all the way down the block.

Oh, really?

I have an exceptional nose,

though.

Oh.

Looks like it.

That's a...

It's a great nose.

[Laughs]

Did you make this,

this table?

Yeah, the two of us

make everything

right here

in this store.

Pretty impressive.

Thank you.

Is that your boyfriend?

That?

No, that's my... my partner.

My... My business pa...

He's my best friend.
