previously on privileged
you're writing an unauthorized
biography of laurel?
if i could turn back time
and unlearn what i learned, i would.
what do you know?
your husband robert
returned from vietnam,
and you gave birth to your daughter
carolyn only 7 months later.
we're going out.
Uh, no, you're not.
we have a study session, remember?
i'm exhausted.
Yeah, me, too.
i didn't know we'd be
out that late.
i've drafted a few
pretty pathetic emails
just in case you never
call me back.
i would never
not call you back.

man: good morning, palm beach.
It's
to pour your first cup
of morning joe.
mmm, mmm! smells-
nice try, wally, but
i've been up for an hour.
morning.
hey.
'sup, will?
hey.
Well, well, well.
somebody fell out of bed
and into a makeover.
what's the occasion, red?
there's no occasion.
heh.
So
has will stopped by yet?
just wondering, um, you know, too
see if he drank all the coffee.
just, like, a fresh pot
is all i'm sayin'.
look at me.
good will hunting-
you had sex.
what?! no.
no, no, no.
No.
We just
we kissed.
Oh.
Well,
that's a little pg-13 for my
taste, but i'm happy for you.
well, don't be.
'cause i'm
not sure what it means yet.
i mean, yes
The kiss was great.
but was it
a one-time thing?
was it something that
happened spontaneously?
was it something that he had
planned on doing for a while?
is megan someone who thinks too much, or
is megan someone who thinks way too much?
ok.
These are just a few of
the questions that i have.
and the sooner i get answers,
the better, because i can't be
all heidi klum-ing it
every morning
wondering if will's here.
Will's here.
morning.
uh
Can we talk?
yeah.
Sure.
oh, please.
so Yesterday
kissing.
It was good.
it was-it was
topnotch kissing.
i agree.
we should do that again.
really? um
ok.
Good.
well, that answers
my first question.
uh, what's
your next question?
you and lily?
you know, you guys
were hanging out for a while,
and it hasn't been that long
since you've stopped hanging out,
so i was just wondering if you
and i started hanging out, that-
i get it.
But you don't have to worry.
this isn't
a rebound thing.
ok.
i mean, i've been out
with a few women
since lily and i
broke things off.
so, by definition-
oh.
uh, but you rebounded and
scored.
Look at me
using the sports metaphors.
megan
- are you still dating all of those girls,
or women, or whatever?
i mean, i wasn't expecting us to
become automatically exclusive.
no.
No, no, no.
Me,
either.
I mean, come on.
it's not like i'm canceling
any of my upcoming dates
just 'cause
we spontaneously kissed.
well, it wasn't
that spontaneous.
i've been wanting
to do that for a while.
but i don't need to hear
about all your upcoming dates,
just as long as you promise
to keep me in the mix, huh?
i'll see if
i can fit you in.
good.
i'm late for tennis.
i'm gonna need to get me
some upcoming dates.
hi, ladies.
Hi.
Hi.
oh, my god.
Jordanna, i love your bag.
who's the designer?
i am.
i took my design to
this woman, traneka.
she's an up-and-comer
in south beach,
and she made this
exclusive bag just for me.
it's one of a kind.
Oh.
That's awesome.
do you get your jewelry at
color me mine?
mrs.
Winrow: ladies and
gentlemen, please take your seats.
we have a lot of ground to cover
this morning.
I have the results
of your english final
on a farewell to arms.
nice work, sage.
though, i don't believe
the retreating italians
were as focused on the style of
their uniforms, as you suggest.
i was expecting more.
unh.
It's too early
for phones.
ohh, god.
It's gotta be megan.
heh.
megan, mandy says it's
too early for phones,
and i have to agree.
oh, mandy's there.
Good.
Good.
That's even better.
Can i talk to her?
uhh.
she wants
to talk to you.
what?
mm-hmm.
hello?
mandy! hi.
How are you?
i'm fine.
Ok, look.
So, quick question.
do you know of any
single guys my age?
uh, you mean, like, to date?
uh, probably.
looks aren't the most
important thing, obviously.
and-oh, but it would
be nice if he was tall
and with a sense of humor.
Oh, no smokers.
ok.
I'm sorry.
I know
this is a lot to ask.
it's sort of
an emergency situation.
i'm trying to level the playing field
- not literally speaking,
but, like, emotionally
- level an emotional playing field.
uh, there is a guy
at the crab shack
who just broke up
with his girlfriend-antoine.
if you think he's nice,
then i'm for it.
set it up.
Sure thing.
bye, megan.
ugh.
She talks too fast.
why does she want you
to set her up?
mmm.
Shh.
we're going back to sleep now.
this is a very
sweet picture.
is that your father?
yeah.
how are things going with him? good.
we're having lunch
next week.
That's nice.
uh Well,
this is a little bit embarrassing for
me.
I'm not quite sure how to begin.
oh, it's just that ever since
you came across my Secret,
you brought up things i haven't
thought about in years.
and now i find myself unable
to stop thinking about them.
and frankly, you're the
only one i can talk to,
because you're
the only one who knows.
sure, sure.
Yeah.
Um,
well, that makes sense.
well, you're a writer.
you Must be curious
who the man is.
curious? not really.
No.
i took the proverb about
the cat quite seriously.
his name was miles.
Killed the cat-
just, dead cat.
miles franklin is carolyn's
biological father.
robert and i were married
right after high school
and were desperate
to get out of maine.
once we decided on new york,
i did what every young girl did
and got myself
a secretarial job at a law firm.
that's where i met miles.
he was a lawyer?
and my boss.
we flirted.
It was harmless
until robert got drafted.
and then a few months later,
he went missing.
i was inconsolable.
and then, one night,
miles was there, and
just happened.
robert returned home.
not dead.
i couldn't believe it.
Next day i quit my job.
and, well, it was only a few weeks
later, i discovered i was pregnant.
did miles know?
nobody knew.
then robert just assumed
that the baby was premature.
and i certainly
never corrected him.
i couldn't bear to.
he was the love of my life.
and miles?
miles was the flame
that never went out.
it's been 40 years,
and i have never told
a single person this story.
i never thought i could.
len is on the phone.
He says it's important.
i'll be right there.
thank you, megan.
i needed to get that
off my chest.
which of the founding fathers
lived in a house called monticello?
hint-his face is on the nickel.
like we work
with nickels.
sage
fine.
Thomas jefferson.
yes.
Ok.
Ok, which author
of the federalist papers
was killed in a duel with
vice president aaron burr? rose?
i don't know.
just think for a second.
i just said
i don't know.
ok.
Well, your history final is
friday.
Now is not the time to choke.
well, stop pushing me
and maybe i won't.
ok.
Maybe it's time
for a chocolate break.
i'm feeling s'mores.
Anyone?
super.
you go start the campfire
and we'll catch up.
look, sweetie, don't stress out,
ok? you got this.
remember how worried you were about
getting through a farewell to arms?
and you ended up
loving that book.
speaking of which,
how did you do on that exam?
we haven't
gotten it back yet.
oh.
Well, i'm sure
you did great.
wow.
ha ha!
look who's crossed over
to the dark side.
mwah.
ohh, marco,
the smell of your muffins
literally pulled me out of bed.
well, they were popovers, thank
you, but there are none left.
that's my fault.
you can have the rest
of this one if you want.
uh-
i got a job interview.
oh.
Good luck.
just so you know,
i haven't brushed my teeth.
and i had pickles on my taco last
night, so it's disastrous in here.
thanks for the warning.
I was actually waiting for you.
what are you doing tonight?
tonight?
yeah.
I was planning on giving
the proper 3-day notice,
but i snagged a reservation
for us at mizaka.
Are you free?
um, hmm.
Yes.
yes, i-
um, i'm free tonight.
for a second, i thought
that i wasn't.
it's thursday night, actually,
that i have plans.
Mm-hmm.
great.
I'll pick you up at 8:00.
ok.
Oh-pickles.
Heh.
heh.
ohh.
Just so you know,
this is not how i wanted
to look when i see the guy
that i'm trying to be
casual about casually dating.
but mentioning your pickle
breath is a rock solid turnon.
so, pray tell, who are you
seeing thursday night?
his name is antoine.
And i
thought the worst thing about him
was that his message says, "hey, it's
antoine.
Leave a message.
Rock on.
"
there's something
worse than that?
oh, he wasn't saying "rock
on.
" he was saying "rock om,"
as in om shanti.
Cancel immediately.
i can't.
Many went
through all this trouble.
who cares? you shouldn't feel like
you have to date a bunch of people
just because will is.
Oh, he didn't say
he was dating a bunch of people.
He
said he was dating a couple people.
and i can't believe you were
listening to us yesterday.
you can't? that's adorable.
Ok, um,
this is not only about will.
I mean, yes, obviously,
that's what started all of this.
But then i realized, you know,
i gotta start dating
like a normal person.
well, there's nothing normal about
you.
That's what makes you so cute.
no, that's what
makes me so single.
usually, when i like a guy, i spend
all of my time obsessing about him.
but last night, instead of sitting in my
room waiting to see if will was gonna call,
i was on the phone
with antoine.
chanting to
the hindu god?
shut it.
Rock om.
the point is, i'm all about
having lots of eggs in the basket.
yes, yes, yes.
I might like
one egg more than the other.
but the fact that
i have other eggs
takes the pressure off the one egg
that i really like, so it won't crack.
i have no idea
what you just said.
but all of a sudden, now
i'm jonesing for an omelet.
hmm.
what time is it?
sorry.
I didn't mean to
wake you.
Go back to sleep.
oh.
What are you doing
up so early?
study group
doesn't start until noon.
yeah, i know.
I'm just getting
a head start on the day.
i'll see you at school.
rose?
wtf, dude?
i got your text.
yes.
Sit down.
Oh.
i was wondering if you would
like to resume work
on my biography.
seriously?
our talk yesterday made me
realize how right you were.
i mean, your initial take on the
book makes more sense to me now.
i mean, all great biographies
reveal secrets about their subjects.
exactly.
That's what
i thought.
i suppose that my desire
to keep my past in the past
kept me from fully
understanding your perspective.
but, well, now that
you know everything,
i say let's rip off the scab
and start with miles.
see what else you can
find out about him.
dive into the juicy stuff.
Ok.
Great.
i'll get
right on it.
Heh.
clearly, lying to megan
was just the gateway drug.
don't make me feel bad.
Uhh.
don't make you feel bad about
deceiving your sister who loves you?
suck it.
I'm about to
go postal on your ***.
i'm sorry.
I had to ditch today.
i don't care
that you ditched.
but if you're gonna
go shopping, i want in.
i didn't go shopping
Technically.
where did you
technically go?
i bought something.
but it's not anything
you want or need.
So
what is it?
come here.
i bought the history test.
you what?!
shh!
what do you mean, you
bought the test? where? how?
it doesn't matter.
And anyway, it's all fine now.
where is it?
it's in my bag.
let me see it.
Why?
uhh.
I'm not gonna copy it.
I just want to see it.
oh, my god.
i think you're taking this bad
girl thing a little too seriously.
maybe we should
start smaller-you know,
like adding some leather
to your wardrobe.
i'm not trying
to be bad, ok?
i had to buy this test, or
i'm not gonna pass the class.
yeah.
But if you get caught,
that's it.
You're expelled.
so, i'm not gonna get caught.
Ok
so, what's the plan, then? are
you gonna memorize all the answers?
i guess.
it's gonna be kind of tough to
memorize 50 random letters in a row.
are you gonna write the answers
on your arm and wear long sleeves?
i don't know! god.
ok.
You seriously need
to invest in some prozac,
because this edgy thing
is really starting to bug.
you don't understand.
english was the only
class i was doing well in,
and that "d" just totally
screwed everything up, ok?
so, i have to ace
the rest of these finals,
or my average is gonna go
down, and i'll be held back.
rose, listen to me.
you're psycho-panicking
right now.
???
i do not know what creature i
just ate, but it was fantastic.
that's squid heart.
oh, my god.
i'm kidding.
I'm sorry.
but i do love it when
your face does that.
so, how did
the job interview go today?
uh, it went well.
I think.
i don't know.
You never know.
there aren't that many
jobs out there,
especially when your focus
is in sports photography.
well, have you thought about
exploring other options in photography,
like, i don't know,
head shots?
just to pay the bills until
the perfect job comes along?
well, i'm not really
in it for the cash.
heh.
Right.
Billionaire.
ok, moving on.
Heh heh.
heh.
what? what's so funny?
nothing.
Um
well, that was just the first lull in
our conversation, and i didn't freak out.
do lulls normally
freak you out?
oh, yeah.
Yes.
usually, when there is an awkward
silence, my head starts to race,
and i fill it with useless,
nervous banter.
Nut, um
i don't know.
With you, i
i feel
totally comfortable.
so, you mean you're not like
this with all your other dates.
oh, well, i'm pretty new
to the casual dating scene.
it's kind of a nightmare
out there, isn't it?
i don't know.
I mean, i've always
thought dating was kind of fun.
you think dating is fun?
sure.
I mean,
think about it.
you learn all kiof
new things from people.
are you learning anything
from me?
every day.
like, did you that some
people are afraid of lulls?
heh heh heh!
mm-hmm.
i'm running 10 minutes late.
Don't wait for me.
wesn't gonna.
oh, megan
- just the person i wanted to see.
how is it going with our
project? any updates on miles?
not yet.
I sort of
hit a wall with the research.
what kind of wall?
well, the law firm that you used to
work at is not showing up anywhere,
and there's a thousand
miles franklins online.
i just-i need some more
informqtion to narrow the search.
well, uh, his wife's
name was jessica.
perhaps that will help.
oh, definitely.
I've been checking
the obituaries, and any fact-
obituaries?
you think he's dead?
well, i-i don't know.
I just-
obituaries can be a good search
engine to narrow the results.
oh.
Well, i see.
keep me posted on
whatever you find, huh?
ok.
Laurel-
um, never mind.
I'll keep working on mt.
heh.
hey.
Hi.
i figured it was safe,
since i know
what you had
for dinner last night-
no pickles.
No pickles.
by the way-
i had so much fun.
yeah? me, too.
we should do that
again soon.
i was thinking that.
yeah?
and i saw online
that there's a whole kubrick
retrospective down on las olas.
oh, yeah.
I heard about that.
Yeah.
you want to go tonight?
uh, i can't tonight.
but tomorrow is good.
Can you do tomorrow?
uh, yeah.
yeah.
Tomorrow is great.
great.
Well, i'm excited.
Too.
i'll call you later and we'll it up.
Ok.
all right.
isn't tomorrow thursday?
leave me alone.
happened to your other egg?
i'll deal with it.
crack.
hey.
hey.
What's up?
nothing.
Not much.
What are you doing?
magpie!
time, no see.
hey, sammy.
Megan, you're loooing hot.
you should iave worked
this look in high school.
i beu would have
gotten laid a lot more.
shut up, sammy.
so, when did you guys get back together?
a few weeks ago.
she just can't
keep her hands off me.
ok.
I'll see you later.
bye.
well, that's fine.
I just won't
pay my rent until it's fixed.
that's all.
oh, yeah, like you're really
gonna get lawyers involved.
hey.
Did you know that lily and
*** sammy got back together?
yeah.
Sucks, right?
very much so.
Anyway, listen.
i've got to ca my date with
antoine.
Oh, my god.
Is he here?
oh, i don't think so.
He usually works nights.
hey, megan.
Hey, mandy.
I'm gla you're here.
hey, did it go ok with bob?
is he gonna fix the pipe?
actually, no.
He hung upme.
and i think he might have
even been threatening-
shh Oot.
He is here.
what? oh, my god.
It's cool.
it's not like he knows
what you look like.
are we talking
about antoine?
oh.
Well, you want to meet him
now befoou go o]t?
uh, no, no, no.
I, um,
don't want to meet him.
i&have to reschedule.
Oh, ok.
No biggie.
or cancel.
I might want to
cancel the date completely.
i'm just not really sure
that i'm into the idea
of going out on a blind date witheone.
then why did you ask her to
set you up in the first place?
because will is dating
a lot of other people,
and i thought i had to date a lot
of other people to make things even.
wait.
You're going out
with will?
i did go out witll.
It was great.
but now he's on a date
with someone else tonight,
and that is not great.
Well, if he't a date
with sne else, then why are
you canceling on antoine?
because-
because she likes will.
so, why waste
antoine's time?
it's true.
because she might
like antoine more than will.
�hat's the point of dating
more than one guy at a time.
also true.
She's not gonna like antoine
more than will.
How do you know?
because i know megan.
oh.
Well, if you wanna
break the date, go ahead.
but it just seems like a lot
of drama over this will guy
who may not be as into you
as you are into him.
just calling it
like i see it.
don't let her bum you out.
she's all about
the tough love.
no, she's right, though.
I mean, it's obvious.
i am way more into this
than he is.
maybe now, but that will
change.
Give him time.
how do you know?
because you're the kind of girl
guys fall in love with
whether you believe it or not.
mmm, charlie.
heh heh.
b
where is it?
calm down.
You're getting
all perspire-y.
you look like the help.
oh, come on.
Just give me the test.
he
and i got you a present.
just open it.
wow.
It's-
oh, it's so cute.
Thank you.
it's more than cute.
It's effective.
look at your test,
then look at your purse.
i went that that traneka woman
that did jordanna's purse
and had this made for you.
every yellow letter
is an answer on the test.
just start reading from the
bull's-eye and work your way ou
ok
oh, my god.
You're a genius!
heh heh.
nah, i've just been bad
for way longer than you.
practice makes perfect.
i thought you didn't
want me to cheat.
I don't.
but if you're gonna do it,
you might as well do it right.
you know, you can get in as much
trouble as me if you get caught.
we could both
get expelled.
i know.
but if you're going down,
i'm going down witu.
i feel really bad, antoine.
I mean, obviously,
if i knew i was going to portland
for this long, then i would never-
uh-huh.
oh.
Ok.
Well,
that's nice of you.
i- i wish you
inner peace, too.
mm-hmm.
Ok.
Bye-bye.
hey.
hi.
is everything ok?
yeah, yeah.
i
- i was actually calling to see if you were ok.
i'm fine.
Why?
n- nothing, no.
i just, um, well, we
haven't spoken in a while.
and now you and sammy
are back together and-
i didn't think
you wanted to hear from me.
you're right.
I, um, i didn't.
well, that's over.
So,
we can move on, right?
yeah.
Ok.
so, um
when did you guys
hook up again?
i mean, it's not that shocking.
We've
been on and off for, like, 3 years now.
oh.
Well-
i didn't realize.
he's not as bad as he used
to be.
Besides, me and sammy
are cut from the same cloth.
we make sense together.
yeah.
That's good.
making sense together-
that's, um,
that's hard to find.
Exactly.
it makes it so much easier
when you're on the same page
or whatever.
so, you really called just
'cause you were worried about me?
yeah.
I really did.
heh.
You want to
cook up some ramen
at my place?
you can choose whatever
chemical flavoring you like best.
what's wrong?
well, bob decided not to fix
the broken pipe in my bathroom.
but he did decide
to raise my rent,
which means that i'm probably gonna
have to find a new place to live.
what? when did
this happen?
a couple hours ago.
But you and
megan were still talking, so-
well, you should have
told me.
i'm not one to fight
for a guy's attention, charlie.
wh-where is this
coming from?
is miss zen suddenly
getting jealous?
i'm not jealous.
I'm just exhausted.
i'm working my *** off,
barely making ends meet,
and now i have to move.
So, yeah, i'm stressed.
but it would be nice
if you cared about my problems
as much as you care about
who megan's dating.
you rang, madam?
yeah, i did.
um, we gotta talk.
uh-oh.
That's never good.
ok.
Um
i'm just gonna
lay it all out there.
i like you
too much to date you.
that makes no sense,
even for you.
wait.
Is this
because of last night?
no.
Well, yes.
but, no
look, i know you went out
on a date last night.
but i canceled my date tonight
to go out with you.
you did? i thought you said
- no, i lied.
because i like you
and i hate dating.
and i can't be sitting around
here not seeing anyone else
while you're dating a bunch of
people.
I'd end up resenting you.
so, you want me to stop
seeing other people?
no.
No.
That would be crazy-
well, for you.
Not for me,
which is why we probably ultimately
wouldn't work out in the end.
we're too different.
Megan-
we're cut from
different cloths.
look, will, i think that
you are a terrific guy,
and your friendship
means the world to me.
last thing
i want to do is ruin that
by forcing each other
to be people we're not.
wow.
i got to say, i did not
see this coming.
well-
i'm sorry.
I should take this.
hello?
mrs.
Winrow: is this megan smith? it is.
this is mrs.
Winrow,
rose's english teacher.
i wanted to follow up with
you about rose's test results.
oh.
I was under the impression that
she hadn't gotten them back yet.
she did.
She got a "d.
"
um, i'm sorry? i couldn't
Understand you through all the chewing.
did you say
she got a "d"?
i was surprised, too.
She
had been doing so well.
in any case, mr.
Cassidy told
me to alert you specifically
if there was
any cause for concern-
ok, well, it's just one test.
I
mean, you can't possibly recommend
holding her back an entire year
after all the work that she's done.
no, but i would recommend
you talking to rose
and making sure
this doesn't happen again.
it goes without saying, the
remainder of her finals are crucial-
i- i get it.
um I'll take care of it.
megan! hey.
you got a "d"
on your english final?
how did you know?
mrs.
Winrow just called.
i was gonna tell you,
i swear.
I just-
well, i just thought that if
my other grades were better,
then it might make
that one look less bad.
so, instead, you lied to me? after
all the work that we put in together?
i'm sorry.
you're falling into
your old habits, rose.
you're partying with sage,
choosing your publicist over school-
oh, no, no, no.
The
publicist-that was all sage's idea.
this isn't about sage.
this isn't even
all about you, rose.
it's about us, ok?
i thought i could trust you.
you can.
No, obviously, i can't.
and i don't know how you plan
on getting your act together,
because you're not even
studying right now,
and your history final
is tomorrow.
i know.
I-
you know what?
i don't even want
to hear your excuses anymore.
you really, really
disappointed me, rose.
i don't even know
what else to say.
you don't have to go
through with this, you know.
you're probably more
prepared than you think,
considering how hard megan's
worked you all semester.
maybe, but i can't
take that chance.
this test, it's
Way too important.
why? you know they can't
hold you back now.
it's not just that.
I don't want to let megan down.
if i fail,
it's like she failed, too.
what?
well, you know,
like, if my grades are bad,
laurel will just fire her
and find somebody else who
she thinks can do a better job.
and megan-she moved her life
for us, and she's worked so hard.
i I don't want her
to have to go.
so, this is
all about megan?
it's not
all about her.
But-
i put my *** on the line
so she won't get in trouble
for sucking at
her stupid job?
well, no.
You were helping me.
yeah, so you could
help her.
uhh.
I can't
believe this.
sage-
no, forget it.
i don't want
to talk about it.
i found miles.
he lives in santa barbara, california.
his wife jessica passed
away about a year ago.
and his daughter elise is a
lawyer who lives in new york.
wonderful work, megan.
so, is this how you want
me to start the book,
or should we save it
for a later chapter-
we can decide that
as the project takes more shape.
i agree.
Either way, we shouldn't
let anyone see these pages
until you've spoken
with the girls.
you do realize that
all of this stays between us
until i'm ready
to move forward.
you are not to tell the girls
any of this.
of course.
???
???
oh, my god.
go away!
i'm armed, and i'm
Trained in krav maga!
megan, stop yelling.
It's me.
will?
what in the heck are you doing
climbing up onto my balcony?
i, um
Uhh.
in my head,
this was romantic,
but now i see that
it's just creepy.
and for the record,
you're on the ground floor,
so there wasn't any
actual climbing involved.
what are you doing here?
i don't want
to see other people.
that's sweet,
but you can't change for me.
i mean,
resentment is a 2-way street.
i'm not doing it
for you.
i went out with this
woman tonight, gia,
some model that i met at
my friend bill's place.
model.
Yay.
Good for you.
so, we're sitting
at dinner,
and she's in the middle
of this inane story.
and all i could think
was, "why am i here?"
i am bored
out of my mind.
and then the lull hit.
oh, the dreaded lull.
Heh.
Exactly.
and i started smiling,
thinking about us.
and then i realized
that there is no point
to going on a lot
of dates with people
if they're not as fun as the
dates that i have with you.
well, it was one date.
I mean
we've only been
on one date.
it was a good date.
Well, i'm delightful.
yes, you are.
so, why am i wasting my
time going on boring dates
when i could be
going out with you?
i don't know.
me, neither.
???
hey.
ok.
Before you
say anything,
i just want to say
i'm really sorry.
that person that hauled
off on you yesterday
and got all jealous,
that's not me.
I know.
i love that you're such
a good friend.
it's part of
what makes you so cool.
i was just having
a crappy day,
and i dumped it out on you.
No.
you didn't dump
anything on me.
i want to be here for you-
which is how i came up
with my weird idea.
what weird idea?
i was thinking about
your apartment situation.
mm-hmm.
And i thought,
???
i know, i know,
it sounds crazy,
but just hear me out.
all right?
ok.
we have a great time
together, right?
yeah.
You're here almost every night,
and i've got plenty of room,
and we would both save,
like, a ton of money.
are-are you sure
you want to do this?
this isn't you trying
to prove anything?
i got nothing to prove and only
screw it.
I'm in.
great!
wow.
Heh.
megan: hey.
You off
on a business trip?
oh.
Well, actually, this is
more of a personal nature.
oh.
Where are you going?
somewhere good?
i'm going to
santa barbara.
oh, my god!
shh!
keep your voice down.
you're gonna go
see miles?
no.
I'm going to
santa barbara for the weather.
and you're being
sarcastic?
you totally played me.
what? you think you're the only one
who knows how to beat the system?
i invented the moves
you're working.
what moves?
i have no moves.
too bad, because i do.
keep an eye
on the girls for me.
and, uh, i'd focus your time
on that second chapter-
still feels muddled.
wha-laurel, does that-
does that mean we're
still doing the book?
heh.
Well, i'm gonna
take that as a yes.
hey.
I was just coming
to find you.
you're not gonna
believe what happened.
megan: hey, girls.
Good luck today.
are our protein shakes
ready? we're gonna be late.
here you go, ladies.
Thank you.
so, listen-
can you Just
hold on one second?
hey.
Rose, look,
i know we have some stuff to work
out, and we can talk about that later.
but right now, i just want you
to focus on nailing that test.
ok?
you gonna do great.
I believe in you.
yeah.
Yeah.
Thanks, megan.
is she ok? she seems a
little nervous, even for rose.
???
what are you
talking about?
it's too much pressure.
She's not built like you.
she can't handle this.
She's gonna do fine.
no, she won't.
You have to do something.
please, megan,
you have to help.
sage, what-what
do you mean?
ahem.
sage
look, megan, i really need
to tell you something.
i'm sorry.
something is off.
just-hold that thought.
???
whoa.
That's
an expensive purse.
heh.
???
look, megan, there's something-
will, i'm sorry.
can we talk later?
i gotta go get my keys
and catch rose before she makes
the biggest mistake of her life.
megan, we need
to talk.
i got a job.
the call came early this morning,
and i wanted to tell you right away.
that's-that's great.
i- i promise that
we'll celebrate later, ok?
the shoot
is in brazil.
oh.
uh, for how long?
a few months
probably 6.
whoa.
um
look, can we talk later?
absolutely.
Go.
mr.
Karp: ladies and gentlemen, put
away all of your outside materials.
???
your time begins now.
???
