a weird thing to do.

Um...

Ahh.

What do you want me

to do, Nadine?

I want you to think about

how shitty this is for me.

I know.

What if I did this to you?

What if...

What if...

What if I liked your dad?

What if I gave

your dad a hand job?

Oh, Louis, wow, you look so hot

with that belt-phone of yours.

Wow. Oh, Krista, you're home early.

Okay.

Why... mmm. Why? Why?

Why do you even like him?

I don't know.

Yes, you do. Yes, you do.

Is it a girl thing. You hooked up with

him so now you're emotionally attached?

- No. -Are you unconsciously

mad at me, maybe,

and this like

some kind of revenge?

Nadine... are you unconsciously

mad at yourself

and this is some

kind of self-punishment.

'Cause if that's what it is...

will you... will you stop talking?

Because you're

driving me insane.

Please.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

He invited me

to a party on Friday,

and I want you to come with us.

Like, you're gonna go with him and

I'm gonna tag along. Yes. Will you?

I'm gonna have to see

if I'm around.

Yeah.

Okay.

Thank you for coming. What? No, no.

I'm having a great time.

Oh, hey. Look, maybe you guys

can f*** on the lawn later.
