Shoulder Dance (2023)

[bunniefuu]

Don't judge me, okay?

I'm just...

I'm done.

I need a change.

Let's say you really are done.

What does that even look like?

You're just gonna wait

at home for Ira all day,

making matzo ball soup,

maybe get an allowance?

God, you're

so condescending.

I f*ck'

hated this thing!

You made the red-eye?

I love what you've

done with the place.

So I have news.

My friend, Roger's,

mother died, Lori Cooper.

Oh, no!

I'm so sorry.

Do I know Roger?

No, he was a childhood friend.

Yeah, how's he holdin' up?

He's coming to New York,

so I said he could visit.

Oh, okay.

When?

This weekend.

It's okay, isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's fantastic.

That's so great.

So great!

Shawn...

Bye.

- Ira.

- Mm-hmm.

Hi.

Hey.

Mmm.

This looks delicious.

Oh, I do have some good news.

Tell me!

I cleared my schedule, so

we can stay here all week.

- We can?

- We can.

God, I love it

when you're home.

So how was

closing night party?

Didn't go.

Again?

What does Jen say?

Same thing all managers

say, "Take the tour gig".

What?!

Well, that's a

terrible idea, no?

Terrible.

You don't have

to work, you know?

Right.

So then what do I do?

Just wait for you to come home,

make matza ball soup,

get an allowance?

I'll make some calls.

What?

Oh, god, no!

- Please, don't.

- I'm an agent.

Just one call.

This is not how I wanna do it.

I don't wanna be the

guy that gets a part

because of his

well-connected boyfriend.

- Okay, well-

- I wanna know

that my talent is enough.

It is, and I just wanna help.

And it's just not

how I wanna do things.

Please don't be mad.

I'm not mad.

So...

Roger?

Oh, he was my neighbor.

He moved to London when

his parents divorced.

We were 16.

What was he like?

Rambunctious, loud,

very touchy-feely.

He was the kinda guy that

would drink from your glass.

Yeah, but you

hate that kinda guy.

- Mmm.

- And you were close?

Roger was that one best friend

that you had an oddly

codependent relationship with

that just ended.

Yeah, I don't know.

Codependent?

I mean, that's...

That's interesting, 'cause

you've never even mentioned him

over the last 10

years, like, not once.

Josh, it was a lifetime ago.

Come here.

Really?

To Roger.

Ira, are you gettin' up?

What?

What time is it?

- It's almost 11.

- f*ck!

The guest room's ready.

Yeah?

Guest room.

Oh, thank you.

Do you have any idea what

time he'll be showin' up?

No.

But he'll...

Like, he'll call first, right,

and let us know what time?

- Probably not.

- Ahh!

That's great.

That's polite.

Coffee.

Maybe a bagel?

On the

deck whenever you're ready.

You're the best.

Hi.

Hey, babes.

Are you nervous?

No.

Oh...

A little, I guess.

I just don't want

it to be weird.

Oh, come on!

It'd be so fun to see your

best childhood friend,

who you've never mentioned

once in 10 years.

It's just one night.

What can go wrong?

- Coffee?

- Yes, sorry.

Thank you.

So is he, like, hot?

Hot?

Cute, maybe?

He's tall.

He's kinda goofy, though.

He's a redhead.

Ah, so like a five?

Mmm, seven, maybe eight.

It's hard to say.

Why'd you two

lose touch again?

Oh, my gosh!

It's almost noon.

I gotta work.

Thank you, babes.

This was perfect.

Sweetie?

Is he there yet?

Roger?

No, not yet.

Am I on speaker?

No.

So what's the 4-1-1?

- Let's see, best friend.

- Uh-huh.

Neighbor

until they were 16.

Okay, so same age.

Looks?

Tall, goofy, redhead.

Yeah, it could be a seven,

Uhhuh.

- But he could be an eight,

- Uh-huh.

but he's not sure.

Okay, so a goofy eight.

That's suspicious.

Yes, exactly!

Okay, well, maybe

I'll just pop in

and borrow a cup of vodka?

And by drop in, you mean

impose, and be generally awful,

then no, absolutely not.

- But that's my thing!

- Yes, I know.

Okay, I'm gonna go.

I'm finish this workout,

and I will text you later.

All right,

love you, sweetie.

Kiss.

Love you, kiss.

I am not this stupid.

I'm not this stupid.

Like, I'm not this stupid.

Ra?

Ra?

Oh, god!

I am this stupid.

Okay.

- Ira?

- Oh.

Well, it's Roger.

Okay.

No text, no call, nothin'?

You got that right.

Ra!

It's me!

Oh!

Look at you!

- You-

- Oh, with a beard thing!

Yeah, I can grow

facial hair now.

I like it.

And you are so much less red.

And you're so much more gray.

- Yeah.

- This is true.

This is true.

Okay, okay.

This is-

You guys all right?

This is Lilly.

Oh, my god!

- Fantastic to meet you.

- Yeah!

Hi, Roger, I'm Josh.

- It's really nice to meet you.

- Hey, Josh.

- Hi.

- Lilly Masters.

You're gorgeous.

Thank you, love!

Your hair

is just amazing.

Oh!

Come in.

I am sorry

to hear about Gloria.

Ahh, yeah, thanks, mate.

- Yeah.

- Are you doin' all right?

I think so.

I just can't get over

how different you look.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- You, too.

- All right.

- All right, all right!

- You look so different.

Stop it!

- You're such an as*h*le.

- You love it!

Stop it, Roger.

But Ra-Ra,

- you love Ra-Ra.

- Okay, it's just-

- All right.

It's just...

It's just Ira now.

Just-

Okay.

Just Ira.

Does anybody

need to freshen up?

Uggh, desperately.

Okay, just down the

hall and to the left.

Just Ira, this is all great.

Ra-Ra?

Let's go help them

unpack their bags, Ra-Ra.

You feelin' all right?

What?

Yeah, I'm...

I'm fine.

A little feel good.

You want a glass?

Aahh, you do love me.

- Yes, please.

- Ah, we should probably

wait till they come

out to pour it, though.

That's nonsense.

I've waited long enough.

So when you told me that he

was like a seven or an eight,

you actually meant like

a drop dead gorgeous 10?

He did not look

like that before.

So what do you think

of the surprise?

God, she's

beautiful, isn't she?

- She's quite pretty.

- Yeah.

Let's get

this party started!

Is he gonna be this

loud all weekend?

I'm afraid so.

- Hello, mate.

- Hi!

Champagne?

Yes, please.

- Can I see?

- Yes.

How lovely!

- Toast.

- So soon?

Mmm, I'm raring to go.

Ask Lilly.

Always.

Is that true?

I get that sense.

Okay.

To old friends,

and good f*cking times.

- Cheers to that.

- Cheers.

Mmm!

- Mmm!

- Oh, that's good.

You love champagne.

It is Mother's milk.

I set a fine

example, didn't I?

You sure did.

Well, I'd love

to see the house.

I would love to

show you the house.

Let's go.

Let's get

you one more of those.

The

landscaping's incredible.

- So stunning.

- Yeah.

Ra help

you with all this?

This is crazy.

- No.

- How much work-

- IRA does

nothing, literally.

That's

what it seems like.

Yeah, I have to do

all the gardening by myself.

What a spectacular home!

Thank you.

Yeah, we like mid-century.

We found this one.

It needed some

work, lucky for me.

I don't know, it's the

first real serious thing

that Ira and I have

done together, so.

I mean, it's Ira's,

but it kinda feels like ours.

Well, I think you

have marvelous taste.

And I think I like you!

See?

You do have marvelous taste.

Hey!

- Come over here, eh?

- I'm good.

Come on!

All right, I'll come.

All right.

- No, no, no, no!

- Be so rough!

Hey.

Ah, joint.

Oh, yes, please!

Okay.

Surreal, eh?

Yeah, she was so glamorous.

She had the most

exquisite taste.

Yeah, she was a head turner.

So is your girlfriend.

So is yours.

I mean-

I get it.

You surprised?

Happy for ya.

Thanks.

He's really sweet,

and he tolerates

my shitty schedule,

and he never gets 100% of me.

Well,

he seems happy.

I hope so.

I bought a little

something to help us chill.

A g*n?

No, Molly.

Molly?!

- Yeah!

- God, no!

We don't do street drugs.

Oh, street drugs?

Psychedelics are, like, legit.

They're the hottest thing

in therapy right now.

To treat what?

Depression, anxiety,

post-traumatic stress disorder.

That's very fitting.

Fitting for me or for you?

That's...

I think it's gonna

be all you and Lilly.

Oh, my gosh.

You gotta stop.

Roger-

Baby steps.

- Baby steps.

- Give that to me.

I think-

We're back!

- Group hug!

- Yes!

Get in here, mate.

Let's get a photo.

- One.

- Okay.

- Two.

- Oohh,

- our first selfie.

- Three.

And...

Snap!

Ahh!

- That was a bad angle for me.

- Ahh!

So we're gonna...

Okay.

Everyone, give me your best.

Strike a pose in

four, three, two, one.

Booyah!

- Ahh.

- So...

How did you guys meet?

- You-

- Take it away.

We were at an after-party

for one of Ira's clients,

and Ira was off holding

court with producers.

I was not holding court.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, but no, he was.

I was over by a pinball machine.

I was not supposed

to be drinking,

because it was a school night,

but I was out with

my friend, Shawn,

and he was mingling and-

And pouring a round.

Ira was behind me,

and I could just

like feel his stare.

I might've glanced over.

No, you didn't glance here.

- You were full-blown staring.

- I know,

- but he gave me nothing!

- Nothing.

So I sent a drink over.

Saboteur, oof.

He wouldn't even look at me,

so I waited.

And then, about halfway

through his drink,

he started to loosen up.

Oohh, I know the feeling well.

And he started to

sway to the music.

First, it was his hips,

and then, all of a sudden,

he started to roll

his left shoulder.

- Yeah, you know.

- Oohh!

Like a little...

A little shoulder dance.

Oohh!

And then a moment later,

without moving his body at all,

he looked over his dancing

shoulder, and he smiled.

And you?

I smiled back.

And then he smiled wider,

and then-

And then he took me home

and f*cked my brains out.

- You-

- Wow!

Love that.

So...

Anybody want food?

I'm okay, actually.

I don't really feel

hungry right now.

Shots?

Yes, shots!

All right.

- Vodka?

- Yeah.

Lilly, let's make it happen.

Ahh!

You know, I was...

I was telling Lilly

about that crazy lady

who lived down the street.

Remember?

Like, she used to come

onto all the boys.

Mrs. Gailson?

Eww, Gailson

with the mustache!

No, no, no, no, no, no.

On the corner with

the red convertible,

like hot, big t*ts, like...

Oh, we used to call

her Mrs. Robinson.

Yes!

Yeah, Sylvia Spitzer.

- Yes.

- Yes.

- Oh, my gosh!

- That's it.

Oohh!

Sylvia Spitzer.

Oh, my god!

f*ck, I could not remember

her name for the life of me.

And my first instinct

was to call Mom.

And then I realized,

the only one I had

left to ask was you.

Ooh!

What took so long?

Baby Love!

Whoo!

A toast.

No, Lilly called it.

She's the shot master.

Is that a thing?

Actually, Ira, it is.

I suppose we don't have

to toast to everything,

so I'll keep this short.

To new beginnings

and to happy endings.

Amen that.

Blah!

Ow!

- Ooh!

- Oof!

Go ahead.

May I have a hit?

Mm-hmm.

You may, my love.

Josh, do you

mind if I change the music?

No, of course not.

So here's volume, and

there is selection.

Like this?

- Oh, gosh, no!

- Oohh!

No, no, no, no, no!

How 'bout something like this?

Ahh!

Ahh!

Ah-ha!

Mmmm!

Love?

Oh, no.

It's good.

Get a little buzzed with me.

He's not gonna smoke that.

Okay.

Just the one.

- Oh, god.

- Yes!

- All right, shots!

- You're mine.

- Whoo!

- Shots, rack 'em up.

Let's throw 'em back, come on.

Oh!

- Cheers, cheers, cheers.

- Another?

Mmm!

Oh, I gotta get this.

I'll be back.

Where's my phone?

Oh, it's charging

on the bedside table.

Right.

What are you doing?

Oh, just being

the sandwich b*tch.

So...

Seven or an eight?

How 'bout a hard 10?

What?!

And no pic?

I'm on my way.

No, please, stand by.

Sent.

Oh, my god!

She's Roger's girlfriend.

She's an actress, she's

a model, she's beautiful,

and just oozes sex.

- First name?

- Lilly.

- Last name?

- Masters.

Are you Googling her?

- Gorgeous.

- Mm-hmm.

Quite popular in the UK.

Oh, my god, she's

a natural redhead!

She is.

We need more vodka.

Whatever it takes.

What's the vibe?

Honestly, it's concerning.

Go on.

Wait, hold on.

How are you?

Do you need anything?

No, just another bottle.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Okay, so weird vibe, go on.

They're sort of just

hanging all over each other.

Roger's real touchy-feely,

and Ira doesn't

seem to mind at all.

It's weird.

Weird.

And g*y.

I told

you, he's not g*y.

Gettable, maybe?

But I don't even

know what I'm saying.

Please, let me come by.

You are being terribly

selfish right now.

I'll text you later.

- I know what that means.

- Kiss.

So fashion?

Yeah!

I wanna do more film, though.

Oh, I can see that!

- Mm-hmm.

- Here we are.

Brilliant!

Mm-hmm.

Woof.

Spanish tuna!

It's the best.

This is fantastic, babes.

Does anyone want a drink?

Ooh, water, please?

- Mmm, same.

- Mmm, yep.

You know, I did just make

fresh peach blossom tea, though.

Make that two.

Three.

Tea?

You don't like tea.

Yeah, tea would be great.

Thank you, babes.

- Yeah.

- Don't be silly.

- Ira loves tea.

- What?!

You've always hated tea.

Well, I like it now,

so tea would be great.

Thank you, babes!

This is lovely.

Thank you, Josh.

This is great.

This is Ira's favorite.

Yeah, you should see

his tea collection.

It is outrageous.

Ah, impressive!

Thank you.

Just let me know

if you want a little

vodka in that one, Roger.

Always.

You know me too well already.

So...

What's next?

How about a

little soak in the hot tub?

Roger?

All right.

Mmm, in a bit.

You go ahead.

Let's do it.

I'll be right back.

And we will see

you boys later, huh?

Mm-hmm.

You're not going out there?

No.

Come on, I.

Assume the position.

I haven't heard those words

come outta your

mouth in decades.

You still smell the same.

You were always

a good cuddler.

Remember that time that Gloria

and Marty had that big fight?

You were so upset,

and I found you in your

room sitting on the floor,

and I put my head

on your shoulder.

Yeah.

And then you pulled

me into your chest.

That was the first

time we cuddled.

Do you remember what you said?

No.

"Don't tell anyone."

I did not.

Yes, you did.

I always loved your mum.

How is she?

I still see all her movies.

She's

still self-obsessed,

and still working like every

gig is gonna be her last.

Mmm.

And Dad?

So-so.

He's gonna run that agency

until the day he dies.

That's why I opened

the New York office.

He still makes me come

back once a month, though.

Such a control freak.

The control freak apple

doesn't fall far from

- their control freak tree.

- Mmm, okay.

All right.

All right, so just stop.

Just like...

Dude, you gotta stop!

Just stop!

I'm sorry, okay?

But you can't just walk

in here after 24 years

and act like everything's

f*cking fine in two minutes,

because it's not!

It's not, and I...

I can't.

I won't do it again.

No.

No, no, I...

I need to...

To loosen up?

You gotta let go of the past, I.

Let's just have a little joint.

I

can't believe this.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Looks divine!

It's getting hot.

Set to 95.

Oh, perfect.

Do you mind?

No.

God, no, of course not.

Whatever floats your boats.

Floats your boat.

God!

- Josh?

- Yeah?

Oh, it was just...

It's just hot.

I'll just give it a minute, so.

Oh.

Look, I mean, I can get in.

Okay.

Really?

Your home is paradise.

Thank you.

I love it here.

Can't get too comfortable,

though, right?

It can be swept

away at any moment.

You guys aren't married?

Oh, no.

Ira hates g*y weddings.

What do you mean?

We'll go to a wedding,

Ira will fidget through

the entire thing,

and then in the

middle of the service,

he'll lean over to me, and say,

"Ugghh, they're in

matching outfits!"

"Ugghh, they were

holding hands."

It's-

You don't need a

wedding to get married.

But I want it.

I guess I'm that guy.

I'm just basic b*tch.

I wanna be princess for a day.

I want calla lillies

and tiny canaps.

I want a f*ck' harp.

What about you?

Marriage?

Never.

Dad wasn't a good guy.

My parents had a

shitty marriage.

Left me a bit g*n shy.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

It made me driven.

Strong.

Gave me the determination

to be my own person.

- Actor, yes?

- Yes.

Stage, chorus.

I'm a Broadway baby.

I was born in New York.

- What?!

- Mm-hmm.

I moved to the UK

when I was nine,

but I'll always be a

New Yorker at heart.

Oh, god, I love you!

Do you karaoke?

Do I karaoke?

Do I...

I am the Gucci of

karaoke, ma'am.

Fabulous.

And Ira?

Oh, a huge ham.

Roger?

Just a huge c*ck.

Wait, really?

- Like, how big?

- Well, I'd say,

about this.

- Oh, my god!

- Gerth's like...

Oh, wow!

Wow, okay, cool.

Well, totally shouldn't

have gone there.

Big mistake, huge.

Oh!

He has risen.

Oh.

It's okay.

Do you need a minute?

No, I'll be okay.

All those nights

we went to that crazy club.

Was it The Mix?

Yes, yes, The Mix.

Great Club.

Huge.

Mm-hmm, you'd walk ahead,

because, you know,

the bouncer knew

that you were Ellie's kid.

Did we get in every time?

Of course we did.

They had the best music.

They had great drugs.

Well, okay, I think

it was the drugs

that made it seem

like the best music.

Definitely.

God, and you knew everyone.

But I didn't hang

with everyone, did I?

No.

You never lost me.

Yeah, no matter who was

there, or how crowded,

your always look back.

It was cool.

That was long time ago.

Hey, I wasn't, like,

trying to make you

uncomfortable before.

I know.

We were just always so close.

We were, till we weren't.

Baby love!

How was your dip?

Delicious, but I'm freezing.

- I've gotta change.

- Oohh!

Oh, we've got dinner

at nine at Odette's.

No!

Everyone I love is

right here in this room.

Come on, let's stay

here and party.

I'm just along for the ride.

All right, let's stay then.

Then I will call

and cancel dinner.

You guys wanna take an

hour, relax, and freshen up?

Oh.

Ira?

Well, Lilly?

Yeah, she's a doll.

He can't just do that.

He can't just roll in

here after all this time

and just act like

nothing's even happened.

Well, what happened?

Nothing.

Nothing happened.

Okay, if nothing happened,

why are you so upset?

I'm not upset.

I just...

He calls me mate.

I did notice that.

So awkward!

No.

No, no, no.

No, sir.

Awkward is him hanging all

over you like a howler monkey.

Well, better you than him.

Yeah.

Okay!

Are you teasing me?

Not in the least.

Lill!

Lill?

Baby, do you think it's odd

for two men to get married?

No, of course not.

Why?

Just curious.

Does Josh think that?

No.

Oh!

It's Ira.

- Come here.

- Whoo!

Come here.

Roger!

We're doing karaoke later.

That's right, Josh can sing!

You won't have to

do it yourself.

We're having fun.

Yeah!

What about you, Love?

Are you having fun?

Yeah.

But

Ira's being weird.

Yeah.

Yeah, still,

after all his time,

he's all, like, sad,

and mad, and just like

all in his-

The feelings, yeah.

I know.

You don't do feelings.

But if he's got something

he needs to say,

you gotta give him that.

How 'bout we just give

him some Molly instead?

- Hmm?

- Hmm!

Well, we did bring it.

That's the plan.

Make it happen.

I'll try.

It will be fun, though.

Let me see what I can do.

Okay!

Oh, Lilly Masters!

You're gonna be the death of me.

Josh?

Josh, love?

- Josh?

- Oh, my god!

Joshy?

Josh, love, fancy a drink?

Don't f*cking stop!

- Don't go!

- Oh, yeah?

Well, I'm gonna have one!

All right!

I'll be in the kitchen.

It must be Christmas?

You're welcome.

Yeah.

She...

- She...

- She...

Would not stop knocking,

I swear to god, I was

gonna f*cking strangle her.

Yeah.

She's too gorgeous

to die, though.

You really like her.

Like her?

I wanna be her.

Oh, my gosh!

No, please!

You're so adorable.

I love you.

I love you too.

It should be an

interesting night.

I told you it would be simpler

if we just went out to dinner.

You said you didn't care.

Yeah, to make it easier.

I hate when you do that.

And you know that

I hate to argue,

so there we have it.

You just...

I'm gonna shower.

Oh, yes.

Might the dew

still be on the rose?

Oh, girl, that dew

was...

It was everywhere.

Oooh, pour me a shot of

that testosterone, honey!

Quickly.

My tea infuser.

Oh!

That is a lot of tea.

This helps with cancer

healing, lower cholesterol,

diabetes, vision,

kidney problems,

nerve damage-

Josh, love, stop right now,

because if there is a tea

that will give me bigger t*ts,

I'm gonna m*rder you

for all the money

I've wasted on plastic surgery.

Black cohosh.

Stimulates estrogen receptors.

You really love tea, huh?

I make it every day.

Ira loves it.

And you keep

everything so tidy.

Thank

you for noticing that.

Music?

I don't know

where the remote is.

Oh, I'll find it.

- Cheers!

- Hey!

- Hey, baby.

- Hi.

Have you seen Roger?

Is he up?

Nah.

Nah, I don't...

I don't track Roger.

I don't know where he is.

I'm sure he's somewhere.

All right, I'm gonna do

a lap around the house.

Okay.

Oh, she found the remote.

Oh, well, how lucky for us.

I will bring you drinks.

Vodka, and lots of it.

- Great.

- Pretty please.

Yes.

Still over here

layin' on my floor?

Yeah.

It's my little nook.

Oh, I love that you have

a little nook in my house.

Look at that.

Wow!

You used to be so

terrible when we were 16.

- That is impressive.

- Right?

It's sex o'clock.

Are we happy?

Oh, we are a heels

over head, sweetie.

Hey, what's on your

agenda tonight?

A surrogate for

one of the housewives

is having a party next door.

10:00 PM, clothing

optional, be there.

I am dying for

you to meet Lilly.

Oh, my god, me, too!

Please make it happen, sweetie.

I'll try, I'll try.

I can't confirm now,

but I'll text you later.

Okay, love you, sweetie!

Kiss.

You know, we were supposed

to go to college together.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was the plan.

Mm-hmm, we had a lot of plans.

- Hey.

- Mm-hmm?

I think we should

do the Molly.

That's gonna make

everything better?

Mmm, for one night, yes.

Who's here at

an awkward moment?

Yeah, it would

appear that's us.

I got shots!

- It'll be fun.

- Always...

At my service.

Okay, now, I know

it's been a long time,

a lot of history, and a lot

of regrets, well, a few,

but we're all together

right here, right now,

and I really want

tonight to be special.

One night for all of us to

let go and enjoy each other.

Now, I know we

could do it without,

but we bought some

really good Molly,

and I think it's exactly

what we all need.

Well, that sounds perfect,

but we don't do Molly.

It's just the one line

we haven't crossed.

But you guys should

definitely do it, though.

Yeah, you guys.

Wait, you've

never done Molly?

Let me think about

that for a second.

No.

You just feel euphoric,

happy, and tingly all over,

and nothing feels bad.

I know that you'll love it,

but we won't do it without you.

All for one.

No, no, no!

This is unfair pressure.

Okay.

Really?

Fantastic.

I'll be right back.

Josh, love, could you

grab me some tape?

Tape, tape, why

are we getting...

Don't ask questions, Josh.

How long does it last?

About six hours,

unless you do more.

Six hours,

that's a commitment.

sh*t!

Girl, you travel with that?

Don't ask questions, trust me.

It was safe.

Yeah, I don't

think I wanna know.

This is insane!

Tape?

You could just put

it under your tongue,

but it's better to swallow it.

It tastes like sh*t anyway.

Lilly, this is,

like, a full procedure.

So did you, like, take

a drug mule class,

or how do you know

how to do this?

Doesn't take much, eh?

Nope, and you're

ready for take off, right?

So...

Smaller doses for the virgins.

Oh, I am impressed.

And a bit more

for the seasoned.

If you want more

later, it's here.

Bye!

Well, tell my

kids, I love 'em.

Cheers?

- Cheers.

- Cheers!

Mmm.

You're the Molly whisperer.

You're the f*ck'

Molly whisperer.

Mm-mmm.

How long does it

take to kick in?

You don't say?

About a half hour.

Come here.

Yeah.

I started singing

after modeling school.

They said the ballet training

was why I was so

good on the catwalk.

Wait, why do they

call it a catwalk?

Is that a p*ssy illusion?

How you feel, I?

Anxious.

Could you stop asking, please?

Oh!

Baby, what was I saying?

Oh, right, p*ssy illusion!

Lill, look at me.

You're rambling.

But that is a great band name.

I think p*ssy Riot

got there first.

- They did.

- Ah, f*ck!

I'm pissed!

That was my big idea.

What?

Wait a second!

What if p*ssy Illusions

opened for p*ssy Riot?

I f*ck' love you!

Is it the Molly that

makes you say f*ck so much?

f*ck yes!

Okay.

- Where's the remote?

- Mmm.

- I see it there.

- Oh!

It's not working.

Let me see it.

Oh, I think it...

It's dead.

Oh, no!

What do we do?

You wanna go on a

battery hunt with me?

I love batteries!

Let's go find some.

Where's Josh?

It's okay.

- It's okay.

- He went to change the music.

I'm here.

I'm so tingly.

It hasn't changed,

though.

It's amazing, yeah?

- It's intense.

- Mm-hmm.

Don't worry.

Just roll with it, mate.

Okay.

Okay.

Whoo, it must be working,

because mate isn't

annoying the f*ck outta me.

Oh, my gosh!

Where's Josh?

Changing the music.

I don't want him to be alone.

He's not alone.

He's with Lilly.

Oh, he's been gone forever.

No, Ira, he's been

gone like five minutes.

No, no!

- It's been so long!

- Look at the clock.

No!

All right.

Oh, my gosh!

It's only nine o'clock?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, god, that feels good!

Oh, my gosh!

What am I doin'?

Oh, my gosh!

That took forever.

Look at the clock.

Oh, my gosh.

I feel so good.

But my lips are so f*cking dry!

Moist.

Oohh, I feel like

I have not a single f*ck

to give about a

single f*cking thing.

What did you give me?

Think of the world.

Aww, I love this!

Ira, something hard to suck on.

Oh, yes!

Agua for the Queen.

Screw these.

I got watermelon.

Just suck

it for a little while.

"Things Men Never

Say" for 500, Alex!

Oh, I love this!

Do it, do

it, do it, do it, do it, do it!

Yes, Lilly!

You are the sexiest

woman alive, baby love!

I think I have to pee.

Mmm.

Come on, mate.

Hurry back!

Joshy, come dance with me!

Oh!

Mmm, mmm!

Oh, my god!

Sex!

- Yes, mm-hmm.

- Wow!

Oh, my gosh!

Oh!

Okay.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my goodness, what is this?

This feels so good.

I feel so good.

Why?

Okay.

What is this stuff?

Hi.

Hi!

I just had the best

pee of my life!

Joshy, are you

still sucking on that?

Mm-hmm.

Well, I was.

It was three doses.

Wait, that was pot candy?

Yeah.

That's more than

he's had in his lifetime.

Oh, well.

Okay, tonight, we are

doing full-on karaoke.

Okay, but no recording,

'cause we are too high.

Start thinking about

what you wanna sing.

Oh, I know what

he wants to sing.

Something kinda basic, one

octave, like James Taylor.

I don't know, maybe Elvis?

Roger will sing some

person from the '80s.

I forget.

Are they talking about us?

They think they know us.

I can't.

- I don't know.

- Roger?

We can hear you.

I'm making a playlist.

What do you wanna sing?

I am going to decline

submitting a playwrist.

Playwrist?

Playlist.

Playlist.

Then we will decide

when we're ready.

Yeah, what he said.

Okay, well, listen, boys,

you have 60 minutes,

because then it's showtime.

- Lil-lay, let's go.

- Oh, yeah!

She sings too?

Ahh, she has many

special talents.

How do you feel?

Free.

Hey, you pushed

me away before.

I know.

I just wanted to be close.

Oh, I know!

I just...

I just never

thought I'd see you again.

I was so happy

you when you called.

I was...

I was so nervous.

Yeah, me, too.

Oh, my gosh!

How do you feel?

High.

We won't be peeking

for another hour or two.

Wait, seriously?

Mm-hmm.

So I feel like singing something

really high energy, like upbeat.

Huh, let me think about that.

'Kay.

Okay, I have to

tell you something.

When Ira talks

about his childhood,

it's like I cannot relate,

like, at all, actually.

But when he and Roger

talk about his childhood,

it's like they relate on f*cking

everything over it nonstop.

Mm-hmm.

They come from a

different world.

They speak a different language.

They speak bougie.

And we speak poor.

And occasionally, wh*re.

Yes!

That's a fierce extension.

Thank you!

Did you take dance?

Don't you remember

me telling you?

Yeah, you did.

Ballet, jazz, modern.

What's this?

Wigs?!

So cute.

That's what's up.

Do you think this is

my color of brunette?

Oh, wow, it

changes everything!

You need.

I still don't

have the hang of it.

Okay.

Oh, yes, that's everything!

This is fun.

Very K-pop.

Is there anything else?

- Ra?

- Mm-hmm?

Mmm, that was

weird on the lips.

But no, I don't

think anything's weird.

Right.

What are you doing?

Roger, they're in

the other room.

I don't care.

You just kissed me.

Uh-huh.

On the lips.

Yeah.

In two minutes!

I'm so f*cking high!

Just roll with it, mate.

Shh.

Ira in, too,

- Oh, yay.

- So this can happen.

Yeah.

I need to walk.

No, no, no!

You just danced your a*s off

for like 10 f*cking hours.

You know me, babe.

I have to move.

- Joshy?

- Mm-hmm.

Do you have any cigs?

You smoke?

- Only when I'm high.

- Mmm.

You know, there might

be a popup party.

There'll be plenty

of cigs there.

This smells like Shawn.

Aww!

I'm peeking!

Baby love, you're

so f*cking cute!

Oh!

I need a sweater.

No, girl, you need a pashmina.

Oh, my god!

I do need a pashmina.

I don't have a pashmina.

This is White girl problems.

- How do you feel...

- Yes?

- About...

- Yes?

Cashmere?

So many feelings.

Oh, that one's mine.

I know.

Yours tastes better.

Wait, you can't

go to a party now.

You're too high.

Yes I can!

I feel fine.

And Lilly, do you

have more of these?

- No.

- Yeah.

No, that's too

far for you to walk.

It's too far for you to walk.

I walk to Shawn's all the time.

I'm going.

- No!

- Oh, my god!

Lilly!

I'm okay.

- Careful.

- Okay.

Oh.

Take water with you.

Take your phone.

I love you.

Text me if you need me.

Come here.

Open.

Tastes like sh*t, I know.

Just do a touch more.

I miss us.

Me, too.

That wasn't planned, you know?

It just happened.

You're making it like

it was all about the sex.

It was all about the sex.

Was it?

No.

Not to me, it wasn't.

I mean, you were my best friend,

and I fantasized about it,

for f*ck's sake, but...

To me, it would've

been everything.

How would I have known that?

What do you mean?

Well, f*ck, I

suspected, but...

You never told me,

like, you were...

What?

You knew.

No, not really, because

you never said it.

Well, what would

you have done?

I mean, if you had

known, if I had said it,

if I told you that sex

would've been everything to me?

I would've done it.

You would have?

Like, you would've

wanted it, too?

No, but I would've

done it for you.

You were always there for me,

and I would've done

anything for you.

Not like I haven't thought

about it maybe, like, once.

That...

That is a plot twist I

was not prepared for.

- Ra!

- No!

I thought you didn't want me?

Not true.

I have to pee.

Me, too.

- Let's pee.

- Together?

No, not together.

No!

Of course not together!

Oh, my...

Enough.

You all right, mate?

I don't know!

My god,

just go, get up.

Oh, my gosh.

Hi.

Hi.

Whoa!

This is insane.

Oh, my gosh!

I need a pound of this.

What is this?

What did I come in here for?

Why am I here?

Oh!

It's Grandpa's ring.

Hi, Grandpa.

I miss you.

I love you, Grandpa.

His hands were so big.

I am so hot.

Ra?

What is he doing?

What is he doing?

It's just sex, right?

It is this time.

Oh, any hot guys for me?

Super unlikely.

Girls?

Really?

Not so crazy.

We're all a little

bit g*y, are we not?

Darling!

Oh, my god!

- Hey, babes!

- Hi.

Lilly Masters?

Are you obsessed

with her or what?

Oh, my god, give us

a spin, sweetheart.

Flawless!

I love this vibe.

I know, right?

Sushi bar, vegan

sushi bar, bar bar.

Botox by Barry, but

probably expired,

so at your own risk.

Nude yoga, but more

nudity than any yoga.

And reiki with undertones

of hysterical crime,

because Mark broke

up with Tony again.

I didn't know they

were still together?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I love this!

Come and dance.

- Love her!

- Yeah.

So what are we drinking?

Can I get five shots

of vodka just for me?

- He's gonna want his own.

- Eeww!

Josh?

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Plan B is here.

Oh, god, Shawn,

why do you do this?

Did he ask for me?

He certainly did.

He seems to be alone, too.

Should I go talk to him?

- Now?

- Yes!

Are you good?

- Ra?

- No.

Ra?

No, not one word, please.

You don't even know

what I'm gonna say.

It doesn't matter.

Words are only gonna mess it up.

That's a compliment.

Geez, what did I just say?

Okay.

Mm-mmm.

How long do they stay?

- They leave tomorrow.

- Mmm.

What an imposition.

- I hate people.

- Yeah, I know.

It's just a night, though.

- It's not that bad.

- Mmm.

Josh, you're so...

Pretty.

Let's go for a walk.

- Come on.

- No, no, no, no.

No, no, you don't do that.

That's that's not fair.

Not fair?

We never got a fair shot.

- I have to go.

- Come here.

Seriously.

It's, like, getting late.

- I have to go check back in.

- Oh.

Mm-hmm.

Marry me.

Ahh!

Oooh!

Eww!

Um...

Tony...

Don't stop asking.

- Aren't they fabulous?

- Yes.

Are they real?

I'll be the judge of that.

Okay.

Fake.

Nice work, though.

You really know

your way around a tit.

Oh, my gosh!

This was too much fun.

It's time to go.

Aww.

Call me!

Can I get her number?

Your friends are so fun.

I'm so glad you

got to meet Shawn!

He's funny.

Most of the time.

You know what I've

always wanted to do,

but actually, it terrifies me?

What?!

A one man show.

Yes, I love it!

Have you told Ira?

No, but I will when I'm ready.

Aww!

He loves you.

Does he?

Ah, man!

Sometimes I believe he does,

and then sometimes I'm like,

I just don't know.

We've been together

for 10 years,

and yet, I'm still single,

and I'm also not married,

so it's like my life has

no certainty.

And let me just remind you,

we started dating when I was 25.

I'm 35-years-old.

Like, I've given him

the best 10 years I can.

Oh, god!

Like, what if he wakes up

one day, and he's like,

that's my Josh; he's past his

expiration date?

What if he does that?

He only holds all the

power if you let him.

I know, but, Lilly,

I can't pressure him.

Maybe he

just needs a nudge?

Yeah, maybe?

And maybe this whole Roger thing

is just making me

feel f*cking crazy?

I feel insecure

for the first time.

Roger was nervous

about coming.

So was Ira.

I wish I knew why they

never spoke again.

I probably shouldn't say,

but a week before

Roger left for London,

Ira caught him

getting a blowjob.

Really?

And?

He was on

the football team.

He?

Oh, and he had braces.

Oh, god, no!

Yeah.

They were kids.

But Roger said Ira went

insane with jealousy.

That's

on brand for Ira.

Said he was never gonna

talk to Roger again,

and he didn't till now.

Wow!

Okay, yeah.

Yeah, no, ouch.

- It's a guy.

- Yeah.

But man, like all of this

over an unrequited blowjob?

Like, really?

Might not be so

unrequited anymore.

In fact, it might be

quite requited by now!

What the f*ck, Lilly?

That's not funny.

That's...

Why would you say that?

Josh?

It was just a bad joke!

Oh, come on!

f*ck!

You piece of sh*t!

Whoa.

Okay.

Shawn?

Shawn, what are you doing here?

I'm here for brunch.

Says who?

Lilly.

She invited me last night.

I bought bagels.

Gosh, we were so high.

- She did?

- Girl, you were high.

I know.

And no, now is not

a good time, though.

But I need

to meet Ginger Roger!

You're not meeting

him today, sweetie.

What, are they gone?

No, they're sleeping.

- But-

- No!

Dude, I will fill you

in later, I promise.

It's a lot.

Oh, my god, I'm having

of my parents disowning me.

Oh, my god, Shawn,

that is so dramatic.

It is not a good time.

Fine!

All right, but don't forget.

- Kiss.

- Kiss.

You know I love you.

My gosh.

Oh.

Okay.

Oh, god!

Oof.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Man, I slept like a rock.

You did?

You didn't?

No, I had take a pill at five.

Ah, thank you.

I am so dehydrated.

They're still sleeping.

Yeah, I feel like sh*t.

But f*ck, man, that

was so worth it.

What's wrong?

No, nothing.

You didn't love it?

Josh?

I didn't do it.

What?

I didn't do it.

What do you mean, babes?

What are you talking about?

I didn't take the Molly.

What are you talking about?

I saw you.

We did it together.

I watched.

No, mm-mmm.

I faked it.

No, we talked about this.

We agreed.

I only did it

because you said yes.

Why?

Because I knew

you wanted to do it.

And I knew that you wouldn't

do it unless I did it,

so I said yes.

No, I...

I can't believe this!

We agreed that it was something

we would only do together.

Together?

And what exactly does

together mean to you, Ira?

What?!

I don't know, Josh.

Oh, you don't?

You don't know?

Oh, why don't you

think about that?

What are you so afraid of?

Besides yourself.

Josh, wait!

Like, what happened?

Ira, man, he was

ravin' about the Molly.

I couldn't not tell him.

Like, I felt guilty,

and he was upset,

and I was-

All right, slow down.

Tell him what?

That I didn't do it.

Didn't do what?

The Molly.

You didn't do any Molly?

No.

Wow!

I knew Ira wanted to do it,

and I knew he wouldn't

do it unless I did,

- so said I would.

- Huh.

Why didn't you wanna do it?

Honestly, I'm not even sure.

I was afraid.

And

I hate to argue,

so I just went along with it.

I overheard the

together thing.

Yep.

Yep, that slipped out,

but I'm glad it did.

Yeah.

I have the right to

ask for what I want.

Yes, you do.

Been together for

10 f*cking years!

- I mean, right?

- Yes.

I'm sorry I dragged

you into this mess.

No worries, love.

I love messy.

And don't worry about Ira.

He'll come around.

Oof.

What ya thinkin' about?

You, me, us.

How I blamed you.

How I held onto my anger

for all these years,

and then you show

up outta nowhere,

and surprise, it's me all along.

So comfortably uncomfortable

in my own skin.

I couldn't be honest with my

best friend, let alone myself.

Well, you're being honest now.

Roger, I have to

tell you something.

Say it, mate.

I'm g*y.

Well, it's a good

thing I didn't know.

I might've taken

advantage of you.

Yes, that's exactly

what I was afraid of.

This weekend was good, Ra.

It was.

Josh really loves you.

I know.

I love him, too.

So I was wondering...

No, no, it's so stupid.

Say it, Ra.

Not that it matters,

but it's been 24 years,

there must've been some

other guy that you just...

No, Ra, just you.

Okay, good.

It mattered.

I know.

Where the f*ck is Lilly?

Oh, on

the beach with Josh,

salvaging my

relationship, I hope.

Well, we gotta head out, mate.

I know.

We said

goodbye at the beach.

All those lost years...

Are you okay?

My relationship

with Roger fell apart,

not because of what

I said or what I did,

it was what I didn't say.

All right.

I'm not gonna make

that mistake again.

I love you, Josh,

and I don't wanna lose you.

That is your

grandfather's ring.

- Yes.

- Yes, yes, I know it.

It's beautiful.

I was looking

at it last night.

I promised I would always

keep it in the family.

Oh, my god!

But no creepy vows.

No creepy vows.

No matching outfits.

No matching outfits, why not?

Because you're gonna look

so much better than me.

Oh, possibly.

And no f*cking herbs.

I don't give a f*ck.

Just ask me the

f*cking question.

All right.

Joshua Steven Stone,

will you g*y marry me?

Wait, really?

Like g*y-g*y married?

No, come on!

No, no.

Just...

Just one g*y.

One g*y is good enough for me.

Of course.

But we can't be

afraid to disagree,

and no fibbing,

even little white lies.

Oh, I am sorry, I should've

been honest with you.

No, it's okay.

But there's something

that I have to be

honest with you about.

Is it about Roger?

Yeah.

Do you love him?

What?

No, I'm in love with you!

Then that's all

I need to know.

I love you.

I love you.

However, a moment of truth.

Tea?

Awful.

g*dd*mn, sh*t!

I owe Lilly $100.

So if you didn't

take the Molly,

where exactly is it?
