40 Dates and 40 Nights (2026)

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat dramatic music]

I'm kinda waiting for the one

Who keeps my heart beating

More of the one

I'm feeling right now

Keeps repeating

Never know

If I don't let go

I gotta know

There is a list of what

Is right and what is wrong

I wanna do it all

Make on this on my own

I gotta know

I gotta go

[upbeat dramatic

music quiets down]

[water runs]

-[phone rings]

-Wow.

Welcome to Bing Bop Toys,

home of the talking Teddy Bears.

This is Leah.

All right, cut the crap.

You're off the clock.

[chuckles]

Whoa, what?

What are you doing working

on a weekend, you psycho?

My Manolos don't

pay for themselves.

Where are you?

-I'm at... I'm at Buzz's.

-Oh.

The part-time

bubble soccer instructor?

He's athletic.

Is that what we're

calling it these days?

He's hot.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

-Oh.

-[Buzz singing]

-Show me the room.

-I'm not showing you the room.

-Show me the room.

-Fine.

Ew.

Ugh. Who are you dating again?

His name is Ben.

At least I think it is.

There's been a couple this

month, so it's been confusing.

Yeah, I know,

you have a menagerie of Bens.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Anyway, ew, oh,

okay, I'm hanging up.

-Bye.

-[phone chimes]

[Bianca clears throat]

Hey.

Hey, uh...

You're on the pill, right?

Why?

Uh, you know, it's actually,

it's probably fine. [laughs]

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

Uh, what's...

what's probably fine?

Okay, word.

Um...

It snapped.

It snapped?

Yeah, like... pfft.

Snapped.

No, I know what that means.

In half.

-Phew. Okay, okay.

-Cool.

We can go to the store.

We'll go to the store,

and that's cute.

We can go

to the pharmacy together.

No, I can't.

You can't?

No.

I'm getting ready

for my callback, babe.

It's like a possible

callback, so...

That's not how callbacks work,

I'm pretty sure.

Look, you're really, really hot.

Thank you.

Like I really would like

to just...

Again.

You're awesome.

Like, a solid six outta 10.

Here. It's not

a bad place to be.

But my career's kinda like

taking off right now, you know?

And I can't have anybody

getting in the way of that, so.

I mean, it wouldn't

be fair, you know?

To the fans.

To your fans?

The fans from

the background modeling job

that you did for Home Goods?

Those fans.

I got like 250 followers

outta that gig. [laughs]

I'm crushing it.

Right.

So, if you would excuse me.

I got a callback

to prep for. [grunts]

[Exhales]

[soft ethereal music]

Running a little

low over here, Tilda.

How long has it been

since we lost Buddy?

It'd be five years

this Saturday.

Sweet man.

Lord rest his soul.

He gave you

a wonderful life, Georgia.

Don't give him all the credit.

We built that saddle

company together.

-He was lovely.

-He was a prince.

Unlike my scoundrel of an ex.

Screw him and the horse

he rode in on.

I'm ashamed to say it might have

been on one of our saddles.

[all laugh]

I just love our

little gatherings.

[all laugh]

So, Marly is getting

ready for her first baby?

And you got one marching

down the aisle soon, Edith.

June 7.

Don't you forget it.

What?

What?

-Well?

-Well, what?

Come on, Georgia, how's Leah?

How's my drink, Tilda?

[Tilda exhales deeply]

[spoon clinking]

[languid guitar music]

[door chimes]

Of course.

[clears throat]

Excuse me.

Hi.

You, yeah.

Um hi, could I get a Baby Free.

Hmm?

Could...

Could I get a Baby Free?

A what?

A Baby Free.

What is that?

Could I get

into this box, please?

[chuckles]

I see you.

-Nice.

-Okay.

-Do you have the key?

-No, I don't. Uh...

I gotta get my

manager for that.

Great, that'd be great.

Scarlett?

Scarlett?

What do you need Scarlett for?

Oh, she needs the Baby Free.

Oh.

That's me.

Yeah, I don't

know where she's at.

No, me neither.

Well,

could you call her, please.

-Oh, yeah.

-Totally.

[Voice amplified on P.A.]

Hey, Scarlett,

got a customer

that needs a Baby Free.

Can you bring up the safe sex

keys for the Baby Free?

Scarlett?

It'll just be

a couple of minutes.

Yeah.

Scarlett, she's in a hurry.

We gotta get the Baby Free out.

Hey, baby!

-Hi.

-What's the brand you prefer?

Um I don't know if

I heard correctly,

but I think she might

need the Baby Free.

And I'll do the box of extra-

long Platinum Ultra-Guards.

Certainly. [laughs]

[keys jingling]

You can't wield a sword

without a shield, now, can we?

-Uh, no.

-Straight facts.

Scarlett, please.

-Oh.

-Hi.

So, do you like, party, or...?

Oh my God.

Mm-hmm.

So helpful.

Congrats.

Thank you.

I'm single if you wanna hang.

I bet he's got weak swimmers.

I'll bet he doesn't.

I took Baby Free once.

Felt like I shot a cannonball

from my lady bottom.

Oh, God.

God, you know, the things

men will never understand.

Let's egg Buzz's car and then

get you back out there.

Okay, yeah, no.

Let's just wait until after

my ovaries are done arguing

like my parents used to.

-Okay.

-Okay.

Babe, you should

really come out tonight.

I'm meeting Ben Number 3 at that

place with the sticky floors.

The sticky floors?

-Yeah.

-Wow.

No, I won't be there.

He has friends.

Good for Ben Number 3.

I mean, when was

the last time you went out?

Like, actually out, out?

I was just out

with you the other day.

No, it's been

like four months.

Okay, okay, you know what?

Maybe I'll come tonight.

-Liar.

-Yeah.

Margaret, can you

leave the rent check

on the counter in

the morning, please?

Margaret?

-[Leah knocks]

-Margret?

-Oh, no.

-[footsteps tapping]

I'm not moving in with you.

Did she get deported?

Is she from Canada?

I don't know, I literally

never talk to her.

I don't speak

to her either, clearly.

She misspelled opportunity.

And then she just left?

Yeah, she just left.

And our rent is

due on Thursday, so...

How about her

security deposit?

No, Mr. Smith already let

us dip into that last month.

Also, he keeps asking when

you'll be back, by the way.

[Gigi laughs]

Just get a new

roommate, that's easy.

Easy? Do you know how

much effort it takes

to find a sane roommate?

How about that

Craigslist thingie?

Oh, that's so depressing.

What?

What's the matter with you?

Let's see, Buzz dumped me.

After he admitted

that the condom broke, so.

Well, you're on

the pill, aren't you?

No.

No, I haven't been on the pill.

Not since I gained 30

pounds of water weight

and Veronica Summers told me

I looked like a bean bag chair.

-That's incredibly stupid.

-Okay.

Besides,

the right guy is gonna like you

no matter what shape you are.

News flash,

love, it's extinct.

It is, it's like dial-up

and the dodo bird, okay?

Do you know how marriage began?

I can tell you, marriage

began by fathers trading

their daughters for the

fattest pig in the county fair.

That was marriage back then.

Now, now, it is just,

it is a freaking desert,

I'm telling you.

You know

who survived the desert.

Jesus Christ.

Yeah, Him.

I mean, after it was over,

He went home for a minute,

but then He went

right back out into the world.

Mm-hm. And, Gigi, did you

read the rest of the story?

Because I hate to

break it to you,

things didn't work out too

well for Him in the end.

Well, he had a big following.

Mm-hmm.

You know,

I think 40's a good number.

What, 40?

-What's happening?

-[Gigi laughs]

I'll tell you what--

I have an idea.

-Oh, God.

-Okay.

You go on 40 dates

outside your apartment.

And if, after that,

you have found a guy

who's totally a keeper,

I will pay your rent for a year.

Okay, or you could

just loan me the money,

and I'll pay you back

in interest.

[Laughs] No,

we're not gonna do that.

You're gonna have

to earn it this time.

I'm not baling you out again.

And no doubling up

on these guys.

And no hanky-panky.

No hanky-panky?

-That's right.

-No...?

And I guarantee you

that at the end of 40 days

and 40 nights,

you will have found

somebody so special

that he will have you running

every red light in town

just to get a kiss.

Mm. Wow.

Okay, and then what

happens, you know,

if I find my true

love by date one?

Why go on 39 more?

Because it's not the deal.

You realize I'm only

gonna be proving to you

that men suck?

[Gigi laughs]

Is it a yes?

Wow.

[clears throat]

You can sleep on it.

No, yeah,

I-I should sleep on it.

Mm-hmm.

Otherwise,

there's the county fair.

Okay.

Your grandma's literally

trying to pimp you out.

Yeah, she thinks I'm a hermit.

Well, you're on your way there.

I mean, at least

I can pay for rent with that.

I mean, all you gotta do

is swipe right on 40 randos,

be nice, and then boom.

You're pimped.

Do you wanna know

the real kicker?

What?

I have to abstain.

-Ugh. Ew.

-I know.

And, like,

what if I meet a sociopath?

I dated a sociopath once.

Oh my God, that's right.

-Crazy Pete.

-Crazy Pete.

Oh, he was sweet.

Hey, when's the last time

you really put yourself

into something?

I put myself in the car every

morning when I go to work.

I do.

Okay, hey, don't

take this the wrong way,

but you don't really

have a thing right now.

Yeah, I know.

We get it, I'm single.

Even I'm trying a new thing.

-What? You have a thing?

-Yeah.

Why didn't you tell me

that you had a new thing?

I go again tonight.

You wanna come?

Prove to Geege

you're not living under a rock.

White wine or tequila?

Girl.

-Water.

-[Leah laughs]

-Yeah, okay.

-Okay.

[Mavis] Straight legs,

straight legs, gorgeous.

Anna, not like that.

No.

Clench ladies, clench.

-Turn, spin.

-[Leah] I'm gonna k*ll her.

B?

I thought you were joking.

You should chug that.

Welcome back, Bianca!

And who's your friend?

Oh, Leah, yes, very new.

Aerial virgin. Welcome.

I am Mavis.

[both inhale and exhale deeply]

Okay, let's pop that cherry.

-Let's pop that cherry.

-Yeah, marvelous!

Oh.

Do you not remember?

I literally had to take

a special gym class

because my upper body

strength was so bad.

Veronica Summers used

to throw kickballs at me

and make me fall off

the climbing rope.

Love, we should really unpack

this with a professional.

Okay, ladies, once

you are done stretching,

we'll get to climbing.

If either of you are on

a juice cleanse or a detox,

please use the bathroom

first before you...

We just got the mats cleaned.

-Oh my God.

-Okay.

-Yeah.

-Thank you.

No problem.

Hey, you're stronger than

you were in high school!

You got it.

-Like that?

-Yeah.

Just see yourself

at the top of it.

You visualize.

-I'm just gonna run.

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

[Bianca] At least you

left the house yesterday.

[Leah] I leave the house.

Yeah, for morning-after pills.

You know, her terms

are completely insane.

It's like, no sex?

You can't even buy a car

without driving it

around the block first.

[both laugh]

I don't know,

maybe I'll do it with you.

No, really, I'll swear off

sex if you do it too.

It'll be a good

test for the Bens.

Wait, you would,

you would really wait for me?

Not for you, with you.

Why can't we just

be in love together?

Because my lower half

doesn't want your lower half.

Okay.

-Scratch it.

-Okay, okay.

[telephone ringing]

[soft pensive music]

You don't really have

a thing right now.

[cup taps]

[phone chimes]

Oh, God.

[Edith] My eyes don't

allow for this game.

But your liver spots

are glowing.

Oh.

When do these dates start?

Tonight.

You're not worried

about her going out

with all these strangers?

Ooh, what if she

meets a m*rder*r?

Well, then I'm coming

off the hook for the rent.

Have a little faith, girls.

[Edith and Gigi laugh]

[all] Cheers.

This is great.

I'm so glad we're doing this.

I'm so glad you said yes

to this.

Me too.

Have you been here before?

I've never been

here before, have you?

I have, it's really,

the bruschetta, actually.

That's amazing,

we should get that.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, yeah.

I always say

if I could suffocate on that,

it would be

a very painless death.

[chuckles]

-That was a joke.

-No, I know, you're very funny.

-Oh, okay.

-[Curt chuckles]

-Thank you.

-Yeah, let's just, uh.

See what we're working...

-Ooh. Oh my God.

-Okay.

Uh, bruschetta, right?

Bruschetta, yeah.

Or "broo-sketta."

-Yeah.

-What?

-Nothing.

-Oh, okay.

-You look beautiful.

-Should we-- Thank you.

Should we do the bruschetta

and then--

I just wanna like, I just

wanna look at you for a second.

Okay.

I'm sorry, are you cool

if we go Dutch?

Dutch, as

in the pancakes or split?

Split it.

-Just 'cause I...

-Right.

Is that bad?

-Is that, that's bad,

-No.

-That's bad, I'm sorry.

-Mm-mm, mm-mm.

It's just the apps

are, like, 12 bucks.

And I didn't even look

at the entrees yet.

-And, uh...

-Yeah, let's split it.

-Would you like another?

-Yes, please.

Just give that to me.

Thank you so much.

Are you gonna drink like that?

We should get a bottle

if that's the case.

-I'd love a bottle.

-Cheaper.

You know what else I'd love?

Let's take a photo.

[chuckles]

Oh?

Yeah, great.

That's amazing.

Stirred, not shaken.

-[phone chimes]

-Why was I shaken, just...

Well, bless your heart, honey.

[phone slams]

That's not gonna do.

-What happened?

-Refill?

Oh, yes.

You know,

Italian food's the best.

It sure is.

Do you know what

else is the best?

Wine. [laughs]

It pairs great with more wine.

You're back?

I am back, yes.

Oh...

Thank you.

Hoo.

Okay, so, how do you know Ben?

Well, we were actually

roommates for a while.

And then he wanted to get a dog.

I love dogs.

And I'm just not

an animal person.

Oh, yeah, right.

Allergies, yeah.

You know, I get allergies too.

Yeah, I'm not allergic,

I don't like animals.

You don't like any animals?

Are you a psychopath

or something?

[laughs]

I'm working on my business,

that's my focus.

Your business--

what is your business?

It's actually

edible arrangements,

but it's got a twist.

Okay, so,

a twist with fruit or...?

No, they have that, it's

various assortments of potatoes.

-Wow.

-Right?

It just hit me.

Yeah.

-Of course.

-They have the fruit.

Yeah, they have that.

-Right.

-Not the potatoes.

-No.

-No. Could we take a photo?

-I guess.

-Mm-hmm.

That's great.

That's all I need.

Can I take another?

-You...

-I think I messed it up.

No, you, okay,

I don't really care.

Just say tater tot on three.

[together] Tater tot.

[upbeat music]

[munches and slurps]

And this is Lyle

during Halloween.

He's a little dragon.

I love it he's gonna

keep me safe forever.

First birthday,

had a seven-layer dip.

Finished it like that.

-Wow.

-Okay, he's a unicorn.

-Yes.

-He identifies as a unicorn.

And you can't call

him anything else

-'cause he doesn't like that.

-Got it.

It's Lyle,

look at that tongue.

And then, St. Patty's,

we were just knocking

them back like that.

Like, he couldn't hold

his liquor, though.

He threw up a little bit.

This is Valentine's Day.

It's my sexy little beast.

I'm surrounded

by p*ssy, you know.

-Get it?

-Oh, I get it, get it.

Cats, p*ssy, surrounded?

Oh, Count Catula?

Get it?

-[Leah hisses]

-Because he's...

-Yes, [hisses]

-[Leah chuckles]

He's beautiful.

[Man] Then there's

my bro Jonathan.

He thought it'd be a good

idea to have a meeting

that could have

just been an email,

just to distract Timothy from

making his second-quarter quota.

You know what second

quarter is, right?

[upbeat music]

[Leah sighs]

I've gotta go.

I'm so tired, I'm so tired

So tired of trying

No, you need

to listen to me, okay?

Here's my problem.

I feel like everybody...

-What?

-Okay.

[laughter]

Cheers.

Cheers.

Wow, that's fast.

You know, you remind

me of my ex-wife,

except she had, you know,

smaller boobies.

So, what made you

swipe right, huh?

I just felt like

your personality

is gonna be great.

Oh, boy.

[both laugh]

Can I get another one, please?

I have to go.

-You used to make me shine

-[camera shutter snaps]

You know my vibrator

overheated last night.

I had to stick it in the fridge.

Wait, are we allowed

to be using those?

-I am.

-sh*t.

You know, you should

just take 20 pictures

with some random guys here

and send them to Geege.

No, mm-mm, mm-mm, no.

I might be horny but I do

not, I do not play dirty.

-[Bianca sighs]

-Okay.

Date number 20,

what's his name?

[both laugh]

-Who cares, doesn't matter.

-I don't care.

-Doesn't matter.

-I don't care.

[sighs]

Do you wanna climb tonight?

You can take out all this

frustration on your forearms.

Yeah.

-Okay.

-Yeah.

Listen, it kind of feels

like leaved being tied up.

Oh God.

-Okay, we have a meeting.

-That needs to stop, okay.

-All right.

-Love you, bye.

[low-key music]

-[all cheer]

-Oh.

[traffic rushes]

Hey, so sorry I'm late.

How'd you know I'm your date?

Funny thing happened,

I walked in, and the waiter

pointed right at you.

Do I know you from somewhere?

No.

-Are you sure?

-Positive.

-Huh.

-Weird.

-I think I do.

-You don't.

-Leah.

-Steven.

Oh, but you two definitely

know each other.

Yeah, no, we go way back.

About 20 dates.

[clears throat]

-Starters?

-That would be great.

Could we

please get the "broo-sketta"?

Yes.

You've been here before?

Yes, it's very good.

And the little numbers

on the side of the dishes,

they don't,

they don't scare you?

The prices?

No, prices don't scare me.

What about clowns?

They're only allowed

in the bedroom.

[Leah chuckles]

[Mason] There she is.

Aw, I didn't know

you could smile.

Wine, please, Steven.

-Got it.

-Thank you, Steven.

Yes.

So, what's wrong with you?

You go on dates with men

just to figure

out what's wrong with them?

No.

That sounded like a yes.

Well, it came out as a no.

Who hurt you as a child?

God, physically

or emotionally?

Pick one.

Hands down, Veronica Summers.

Well, screw Veronica Summers.

-Yes.

-Right?

Finally, somebody

agrees with me.

Totally, yes.

-She's the worst.

-The worst.

-You hate her?

-Yeah, already.

-Okay, that's good.

-Yeah.

What do you do?

Um...

I own a marketing company.

We specialize

in 3D animation models.

So, that's your thing?

My thing?

Yeah, you know,

your passion, your... thing.

No, no, I wouldn't

say it's my passion.

It's just what I do.

So, you don't

have a thing either?

I've got lots of things.

It's just marketing

is not one of them.

Cool.

So, what about family?

What about them?

First date question,

I don't know.

Okay, weird.

My mom's a workaholic.

I see her sometimes.

Not really,

I don't see her at all.

My Dad moved to

Florida years ago,

with his, like, third wife.

And it's pretty much just me

and my grandma here, Gigi.

Gigi?

Gigi.

Do you have any friends?

Excuse me?

I just...

Sorry, you just

seem kind of lonely.

Lonely? Wow.

Okay, says the single

28-year-old man.

What does my age have

to do with anything?

No, no, nothing, nothing.

Just that most men

your age are taken by now.

They're not going

on blind dating apps

and stockpiling condoms.

Baby Free Girl.

Oh my God,

you're Baby Free Girl.

Okay, you can piss off now!

-Wow, aren't you a peach.

-I am.

[Mason] That's very nice.

-[Leah] You're very nice.

-Are we ready?

No, no, Steven,

I'm sorry, we're not ready.

-Well, dessert?

-No, Steven.

Um, I think I hit a nerve.

-You think?

-Yeah, I do.

So, I'm gonna get out of here.

Got an early workday anyway.

'Cause he has a thing.

Enjoy the "broo-sketta,"

and I hope you find

your thing one day.

-Thank you.

-Have a good night.

Geez, I mean, what a d*ck.

Did you hear what he said?

Bruschetta, "broo-sketta."

[Imitating]

"Broo-sketta."

-Love?

-Yeah.

What are you getting

out of all this?

Is free rent

a good enough answer?

In this economy,

my inclination is yes.

[Leah chuckles]

What are you really

getting out of it?

Steven, do you have a thing?

Last time I checked, yes.

But it doesn't swing

in your direction.

Shame, but not what I meant.

Listen, everybody has a thing.

[Leah sighs]

[Leah sighs]

[line rings]

Hey, date 20 was a bust.

Where are you?

[Man] Coming up at Jawbone,

we have some new faces,

along with folks

we know and love.

-What's up, bro?

-Dude, thought you had a date.

I did, she was a trip.

Do not ask.

I need a drink.

Yeah, hey, can we

get two drinks, please?

[man chatters indistinctly]

-Hey.

-Hey.

-That's for you.

-Ooh, love you.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you,

thank you.

Those are for you.

All right, I gotta catch up.

-You know I'm gonna ask.

-Mm-mm.

It was so bad, don't ask.

Okay, what are we doing here?

Okay, well, you

followed me here.

Right.

I'm here supporting

Ben Number 2's poetry project.

[Man] Oh, and Ben

is gonna be with us tonight.

-Oh my God, is that him?

-Yeah.

-[Man] Stick around.

-Hi, Ben.

Hi.

So, what's the event tonight?

Um, my coworker said

that it's open mic.

A scattered wind

drifts across.

Autumn prepped to sing her song.

Such a strong song.

Have you heard this stuff

before, or first time?

-First time.

-Right. Got it.

[Ben] ...for Eve's bite.

She takes a bite.

Haummm...!

Juicy.

-[Ben] Eve is just as juicy...

-Mm-mm.

Yeah, I thought he

meant, um,

stand-up.

-Mm-mm.

[Ben] Adam's got beef.

-Shh.

-[Ben]God's got beef.

-You can't laugh.

-Sorry.

-[Ben] 'Cause you're in trouble.

I thought it was

supposed to be funny.

[indistinct crosstalk]

The girls are mad.

The boys are mad.

God, wow, it's terrible.

[Ben] And it's Eve's fault

that we learned to sew.

-[Ben] Now, it's winter.

-Oh my God.

-She's here.

-Oh my God.

-What?

-The guy from my date.

-The guy.

-[Ben] Thanks for nothing, Eve.

Don't look.

We're not looking.

-Who's here?

-My date is here.

-How is that possible?

-Where?

She's right down the bar.

That's insane.

Bro, she's hot.

Doesn't matter, she's crazy.

-Was it really that bad?

-Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, yeah.

-It was bad. A d*uche.

-Ugh.

-Okay.

-What's happening?

Okay, I'm gonna go over there.

-Oh.

-Yeah.

I don't think

that's a good idea.

No, I'm gonna go over there.

Don't worry, watch this.

Oh, she's coming.

Ah, crap.

-Hey.

-Hi.

Is this your bedtime routine?

Bad poetry and bar nuts?

How did you find me?

Oh, please, I didn't find you.

Don't flatter yourself.

Do you have a vendetta

against happiness?

No, actually, I love happiness.

I breathe happiness.

[Mason]

Careful, bro, this one bites.

-Hi.

-Hello.

You know who you remind me of?

You remind me of the kind of guy

that small little kids run from,

-screaming.

-No, no, no, no, no.

See, they run to me

because you stole their candy

-and made them cry.

-Funny.

By the way, you have some

self-tanner left on your hands.

I don't use self-tanner.

Then why did you just look?

-You're childish.

-You're childish.

-Oh my God.

-Oh my God.

Oh my God. [laughs]

Hi, hello, would you like

an autograph or something?

Um... I'm Matt.

Mm. And I'm mad.

-Okay.

-Okay.

You've got your

hands full, buddy.

That right there is why I left.

Oh my God,

don't even listen to him.

I just wanna hang

out with my friend.

Yeah, okay, so, do I.

See-- see her over there?

Yeah, hi.

That's my bestie.

Oh, so you do have friends?

Yeah, I have plenty of friends,

and I actually don't

really know why you care.

Hundreds, thousands, could

fit them all in a yearbook.

I bet two people

signed your yearbook:

one of them was your mom,

and one of them was your

school guidance counselor.

What is wrong with you?

I don't know,

plenty, apparently.

-Bye, Matt.

-Bye.

That went well.

Unbelievable.

I like her.

So, number 20

was that bad, huh?

Mm-hmm,

I owe that guy a new shirt.

Mm.

You got 21 lined up?

Uh-huh, I'm cleansing

so I'm ready, you know?

Mm.

What about you?

You have any hot

dates coming up?

As a matter of fact, I do.

His name is Frank,

and I met him at swim class.

Okay, Frank, tell me more.

Well, he's deaf in one eye

and blind in the other.

But other than that,

he's fit as a fiddle.

Okay, changing my mind

about Frank.

he sounds like a stray cat.

[Gigi laughs]

-Where are you going?

-Well, I have to meet B.

Oh, how is the fire queen?

Okay, can you stop that.

I'm just saying,

y'all out there on the porch

smoking a joint

and almost burnt it down.

I know, and I've

apologized many times.

-Just saying.

-It was the joint. It wasn't me.

Okay, where are you going?

-Silks class.

-Oh, oh!

Oh, that curtainy thing?

Yeah, yeah,

you flip and stuff.

No kidding, can you flip?

No, no, I can't flip.

I'm just trying to get

my feet off the mat.

That's, like, hard,

but I'm doing it, you know?

It's a thing,

and it's good, and I like it.

-Well, it's a goal.

-It's a goal, it's a thing.

-Flipping.

-Flipping.

[Gigi laughs]

I'm getting more flexible.

-Yeah, look at you.

-Ow.

-I'm really sore.

-God, you need help.

-Okay, I love you.

-Bye, honey.

I'll see you.

Leah, remember,

grip, step, step.

Like an inchworm

ascending her destiny.

Right.

Hey, Leah, maybe you'll

find love at the top.

[Leah laughs]

Okay, I got this.

Veronica Summers

can suck my d*ck.

[upbeat vocal music plays]

It's okay.

[Leah shrieks]

[Leah laughs]

[Bianca] Keep going,

keep going.

Fudge it, oh sh*t.

Oh, oh, oh.

[body thuds]

-Ow.

-Are you okay?

Yeah, she's fine here.

Hey, Leah, wanna

go to drag brunch?

Mimosas?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

I don't like being

fed like a baby.

Okay, no.

That's okay.

-But my mother likes it.

-Good for her.

Oh, oh.

Oh God, oh.

Oh, okay, okay.

Okay.

That was weird.

So, that's unfortunate.

Okay.

Oh, oh, I don't...

Holy sh*t!

-Oh.

-Oh.

-Sorry, I'm so sorry.

-I'm so...

-[Mason chuckles] Great.

-You again.

Wow, I'm really happy to see you

getting the help that you need.

Are you lost? The children's

section's that way.

Very funny.

You know I actually had to

get that shirt dry cleaned,

so that'll be 40 bucks if

you wanted to make it up to me.

I will, when you apologize.

Me apologize?

No, no, no, no.

It wasn't me that was making

us both miserable that night.

Look, Mason, I...

[beat-driven music]

[whistle blows]

[bonk]

Veronica Summers.

Is that like your alter ego?

No, it's mine.

Leah Jones,

as I live and breathe.

[unamused chuckle]

And look,

you finally filled out

your training bra. Cute.

-Thank you.

-Oh, Ronnie, Ronnie...

Veronica Summers?

In another life.

When Leah and I went

to high school together.

Oh.

Oh, sure.

Well, at least it's not

those weird comic books

you read backwards.

It's manga. You're--

you're referring to manga,

but... you knew that.

Hey, I like manga.

You know, Leah used to get

in trouble all the time

for drawing her goofy

little characters

instead of paying

attention in class.

Well, I mean--

You know.

You totally broke

the stereotypes.

Because most nerds,

they make good grades.

Except my brother always said

he always used to see you

in summer school.

Yeah, well, you know,

your brother and I

had a lot in common, Ronnie.

-Did you?

-Mm-hmm.

See, I don't recall my

brother catching our daddy

in bed with his secretary.

-Whoa.

-Oh, wow.

-Okay.

-That's a bit much.

Oh, I'm just playing.

She and I banter like this

all the time, don't we?

Yeah, yes, I've missed it.

Don't worry.

By the way, you two

make a perfect couple,

so just best of luck.

Yes, and namaste.

-Oh.

-[books thud]

They should move that.

-She's so cute, isn't she?

-[footsteps recede]

Hm.

I thought Veronica Summers

moved to like

Australia or something?

Oh, yeah, well, she

moved back, apparently.

-Ugh.

-Yeah, I know.

Well, as much as I love

to trash Veronica Summers...

Me too.

...I sort of came here

for some trash reality TV.

Whoa.

-Okay, blast from the past.

-I know.

-What is this?

-I'm on one today.

-[Leah chuckles]

-Ohh.

Wow.

I don't know why

you ever stopped.

These are good.

I don't know, I think it was

after my mom left, you know?

I just sort of started

freezing in class.

I hate she did that to you.

I hate it too.

[soft melancholic music]

-Leah...

-I know.

You don't have to say it.

It's not high school anymore.

Yeah.

I need a really good

dress for tonight.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Like a really good one.

That's my girl.

I'm thinking like

a little side boob.

-I love side boobs.

-Not too much.

-Just a little...

-A tasteful side boob.

-Tasteful side boob.

-Yeah.

-Classy, slutty side boob.

-Hot.

Thank you.

-Hey.

-Yes.

This is good.

Thank you.

-Lucky number 26?

-[Leah chuckles]

You've been

counting too. [laughs]

She's an artist, I see.

She is a doodler.

When I was a kid, I used

to steal my sister's crop tops

and sing show tunes

in the basement.

And when my dad caught

me, you know what he did?

He bought me a pink

karaoke machine for Christmas,

complete

with a rhinestone microphone.

Hell yeah.

He never missed one recital.

It's okay

to let people know you.

[upbeat dramatic music]

Holy sh*t.

Girl, even my panties

are in a bind right now.

-Goodbye.

-Welcome!

Hi, I'm Jackson,

Frank's grandson.

Leah, Gigi's granddaughter.

Can we have two glasses

of Veuve to start.

Hope that's okay.

I like to kick dinner off

with a little champagne.

Oh, no, that's more than okay.

I actually happen

to be a huge advocate

for alcoholic appetizers, so.

Oh, I can already tell

you're a load of fun.

Mm.

Oh, you have no idea.

Let's hope you can keep up.

Oh, challenge accepted.

Okay.

Where have you been

all this time, Leah?

I think the question is more...

where have you

been all this time?

Let's get some

oysters goin', huh?

Absolutely.

[upbeat dramatic

music continues]

Welcome to Bing Bop Toys.

Home of the talking teddy

bears, how may I help...

[sighs] You.

Hi.

I'm here to see Bailey Wakemore.

Who I just realized

is your boss.

Yeah?

Yeah, wow.

Why are you here?

I'm just pitching

a few ideas for our subsidiary.

Hm.

Nice tie.

-Thank you.

-Yeah.

You can have a sit,

uh, in that one.

Over there, not that one,

the one that's farthest from me.

-Oh, the furthest one, right.

-Yeah.

Bailey know that

you are so hospitable?

Look, all complaints

are actually dropped

in the empty tampon box, which

is right by the water fountain.

If you need an extra pen,

let me know.

Nice.

-Might take you up on that.

-Perfect.

-Psst.

-Oh God.

Psst?

Psst?

-Leah?

-Yeah.

Oh, you did hear, okay. Um.

I just wanted to say, the,

that thing Ronnie said to you,

at the bookstore the other day.

That was not cool.

In fact, beyond not cool.

It was extremely mean.

So, I'm sorry that

she said that to you.

I appreciate that. Thanks.

Yeah.

I didn't. Haven't

thought about it since.

-But thank you.

-Yeah.

[Bianca]

You can send him

to the conference

room now, Leah.

Well, well, that is your cue.

That's my cue.

Wait.

What?

Oh, God, okay.

Take off your tie.

-What?

-Your tie, take it off.

Uh, why?

Because.

Because Bailey hates ties.

Like, hates ties.

This isn't a prank?

Her dad was a funeral director,

so ties make her think

about dead bodies.

-Dead bodies?

-So, you--

That is so dark.

I know, well, look,

I didn't choose her childhood.

Wow, okay.

-That's her life, so.

-Feels like a prank, but okay.

-It's not a prank.

-I'll go with it, yeah.

You want the job,

or you don't want the job.

-Sure.

-Okay, that's good.

-Choosing to trust you.

-Yeah.

All right. Better?

Oh, no, oh God, okay.

Oh, thank you.

-Appreciate that.

-Why would you button this too?

-Can you breathe in them?

-Not while you're choking me.

-Okay.

-Thank you.

[Leah sighs]

-It's like you can breathe now.

-Yeah.

Better?

No, yeah, no,

it's better, it's good.

You look good, you look worthy.

Worthy?

Worthy for the job.

Why are you suddenly

being so nice to me?

You know, who knows?

Mercury just fell

out of retrograde.

-Really?

-It came back.

The Saturn returned,

I don't know. Go.

-Thank you.

-Yeah.

[soft guitar music]

[door opens]

-[keyboard clacking]

-[Leah sighs]

-Hey.

-Hey.

Celebratory drink?

You sold the design?

I did.

What? Wait.

Wait, that means

I sold the design.

How did you possibly

sell the design?

Because if you had

worn the tie, then you--

Oh, then I would have

looked like a dead body.

-Yes.

-Gotcha, yeah.

-Oh, this is really exciting.

-This is great for us.

We should go

get a celebratory drink.

What? Oh.

Yeah, no, I'm okay, thank you.

I don't really feel like being

run over by your girlfriend.

-Girlfriend?

-Yeah, Veronica.

Uh, no, she's old colleague.

I was getting a second opinion

over coffee, that's all.

Oh, yeah.

She looked

a little hot for a coffee.

Trust me, not a date.

Did she know that?

I would say that her wife

was plenty aware of it.

Yeah.

Plot twist

Wait, so, do you

think she was mean to me

because she thought

I was pretty?

Definitely.

Holy sh*t.

-Yeah.

-That changes everything.

It's wild, huh?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, mind blown.

-So, a drink?

-Oh.

-Not a date.

-Not a date, just a whiskey.

Okay, good, yeah,

'cause I can't,

I can't go on another

date with you.

That's fine,

I can't date you either.

-What?

-What?

Boheme at 5:15.

See you there.

[phone taps, phone chimes]

[phone dings]

-[phone chimes]

-[Bianca chuckles]

[phone chimes]

[phone chimes]

[phone chimes]

[soft guitar music]

So, why can't you go on

another date with me?

If we wanna call it that.

Mm.

Come on, tell me.

Come on.

Okay, okay, screw it.

My grandmother, Gigi,

made a bet, if you will.

She bet me

a large amount of money

that I could find love

in 40 consecutive dates.

-No way.

-Mm-hmm.

I'm one of your 40 dates!

Ha! Yeah. I mean,

if you wanna call it that.

I do wanna call it that.

Wow.

What number was I?

-20? What are we on?

-Damn!

-Mm-hmm.

Whoa. Are you sleeping

with any of these guys?

Wow, that is none

of your business.

Valid, sorry about that.

[glasses tapping]

Another round?

Um... yes, but...

Hm. 27's waiting.

-Shame.

-Yeah.

Before you go, open that up.

Why?

Humor me.

I case you need

an emergency call

in any of your terrible dates.

Feel free to hit me up.

I took drama in high school,

so my fake crying

is actually pretty on point.

Oh. But boys don't cry.

Oh, they do, it's

just, it's in the shower

where no one can see it.

Got it. How much?

No, no, no, don't worry

about it, I got this.

-You sure?

-Yeah.

-Not a date.

-Not a date.

-Not a date.

-Not a date.

-Okay.

-[Mason laughs]

[footsteps tapping]

Oh, sh*t.

Ah, yes, thank you.

Aw.

27 is in good hands.

-[Mason laughs]

-[footsteps tapping]

[soft beat music]

How was lucky 27?

Oh, he was lucky all right.

[Mason] Oh, he was lucky?

Yeah, he was,

he was a photographer.

Mm-hmm.

Photographer.

-Question for you, though.

-Yeah.

Would you take photos

of used underwear?

Absolutely I would.

And I'll tell you all

about it over lunch.

Oh, yay.

Did you draw that?

No, no, Mason, no.

The little office elves

that run around here, they

actually broke in last night,

they drew this.

Leah, that's really good.

Okay, thank you.

Lunch?

As in a date?

Aww. That's cute.

It was a good try.

So, pictures of underwear,

like Fruit of the Loom?

Yeah, like who's even

into that, you know?

-No idea.

-I wear the cute kind.

Lots of cheek, lots of lace.

Leah Jones?

-Jackson, hi!

-Hey.

Oh my God.

God, you look amazing.

Oh, no, I mean,

I just, like, threw this on, so.

What's up, I'm Mason.

Oh, hey, yeah, Jackson.

Look, I had a really

amazing time the other night.

I'm sorry I haven't texted.

I've just been

slammed volunteering

with Frank's underprivileged

children's reading program

and teaching night

courses for first gen

non-English speakers

with disabilities.

Oh, yeah, no, I mean,

I, like, love languages, so.

Let's get together soon.

Sounds amazing.

-Amazing.

-Amazing.

-I'll text you.

-Okay.

Big dog.

Ohh.

Did you know that

you have two voices?

Huh?

You have two voices--

normal voice, secretary voice.

You totally just used

your secretary voice on him.

I did not.

-You 100% did.

-No, I didn't.

-Yeah, you did.

-Whatever.

-Besides, you can't date him.

-And why not?

-He's not your guy.

-Who says?

Let's just say that

your chemistry is amazing.

Shut up.

-Amazing.

-Stop.

He makes me flustered.

He gives me butterflies.

He does.

-Just saying.

-Come on.

How many people

have you been in love with?

-It's been a few.

-Great.

And?

It didn't work out, obviously.

-Obviously.

-Yeah.

-Look at you.

-[Mason laughs]

It just wasn't right.

What?

What?

No.

-What?

-No.

You were about to give me the

whole "she wasn't the one" talk.

-No, no, no, no, no.

-Yes.

See, I don't believe

in the one.

I believe that love is part

nature and part decision.

And it doesn't happen overnight.

It happens over

long stretches of time.

Thank you.

God, I could kiss you right now.

No one ever agrees with me.

Oh, sh**t, I gotta go,

lunch is up.

All right, yeah.

Um...

Do I, like, really

have a secretary voice?

Yeah, you sure do,

and it doesn't fit you.

It's entirely too pleasant.

-God.

-[both laugh]

What up, b*tch, I got fries.

[Bianca sniffles]

Oh, wow, what's...

Okay.

I'm getting fired.

What?

Yeah, no,

I'm getting fired today.

No, no, no, no.

Whose laptop is that?

Bailey's.

That's fine.

It's not fine.

Because I had all of the new

Bing Bop designs on there.

-Right.

-And I didn't,

I didn't back it up.

-Okay.

And, so, now,

they're gonna be gone.

-And we present on Monday.

-Oh.

-So.

-Monday?

-It's just like...

-Yeah.

Well, that's--

it's not Monday yet.

Okay, well, here's no, no,

no, no, here's the good

news, you want the good news?

I'm gonna fix it.

I'm gonna fix it.

-No, you're not.

-Yes, I am.

-No, you're not.

-I remember

what they look like

really good, by the way.

Really cute.

I can do it, this is easy.

I could--

Let me do this for you.

You don't remember

what they look like.

Yeah.

Come on, when have

I ever lied to you?

You lie to me, like,

all the time. [sobbing]

What?

Oh, not on the fries,

it's so bad for your skin.

[Bianca sobbing]

Hey, hey,

look at me, look at me.

[hand slaps]

You need to pull

yourself together.

[hand slaps]

Okay?

-Okay.

-Okay.

-Okay. That was crazy.

-Yeah, that was wild.

That was crazy. Thank you.

I'm gonna fix it, though.

I'm sorry for lying in the past.

It's okay.

[soft piano music]

[keyboard clacking]

[upbeat piano music]

B?

Is that right?

Yeah.

Yeah, it looks great.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Okay, you're a lifesaver.

-You're good,

you can breathe now.

[soft piano music ends]

Ah, crap!

[phone dings, phone chimes]

[phone chimes]

[Leah chuckles]

Mason's coming over.

You owe that guy a shirt.

[Mason knocks]

[door opens]

Thank you, you're my hero.

You are welcome.

-Hi, Bianca, good to see you.

-Hi.

So, what, no date tonight?

No, already handled.

-[rackets tapping]

-[man groans and grunts]

-[racket tapping]

-[man grunts]

[man screams]

-Yikes.

-Yeah, he was a real keeper.

Oof, that's a lot.

Yeah, what are you doing,

where are you going?

I have to finish this proposal.

We were gonna watch a movie.

And I have errands to run.

-So, you're in charge.

-Nice.

Before you go, I emailed

you some ideas that I had

when I was working on

the other Bing Bops.

So, I was just wondering

if you could, like--

Okay.

I can show Bailey tomorrow.

-Thank you.

-Mm-hmm.

Okay.

-You two have fun.

-[Mason chuckles]

-Don't die.

-[Mason chuckles]

Love you so much.

-Love you, bye.

-It's good to see you.

[door closes]

What was that all about?

-It is Ouija board time.

-No, it's not.

-Yes, it is.

-No, it's not.

-No.

-Stay at my house...

I make the rules.

-I was put in charge.

-So...

No, you weren't.

[soft ethereal music]

[Leah sighs]

Yep.

-That's a lot to take in.

-Mm-hmm.

[soft ethereal music continues]

[Mason] That's an odd visual.

-Are we done?

-Nope, can't stop staring.

Okay.

Ah, there's my little spy.

I need a full report.

[Bianca sighs]

Well, there is a boy.

Oh.

I think it could

really be something.

So, there's reason for hope?

She seems... different.

Well, I'm optimistic.

How are you doing?

Me?

No, the other best friend.

Yes, you.

I'm fine.

You two are like

peas in a pod.

[Bianca laughs]

How about dinner?

I just happen to have

lasagna in the oven,

and I can't eat it by myself.

Yeah, yeah, I could eat.

Yeah.

[Angus]

Oh, Honeysuckle!

I could never live

another day without you!

Every second of

every minute of every day,

I think of

your rose petal lips.

[Honeysuckle] Oh, Angus,

how you've swept me off my feet

like a one-bedroom farmhouse

in a Kansas tornado!

-[Honeysuckle] Kiss me!

-So stupid.

Stupid? Are you mocking

their love?

-Absolutely.

-Why?

Because.

Come on, stuff like that

doesn't happen in real life.

Yes, it does.

Wait, wait, wait, are you saying

that with all these guys,

you've... what, you haven't got,

like, a text back?

Oh, no,

I've received texts back.

-You've gotten texts?

-Plenty of texts.

We both know

why I am dating so hard.

-So.

-Thank you.

Pass it on to you.

Why are you?

I'm really not.

-Oh, come on.

-I'm not.

Mr. Midday Condom Retrieval.

No, no, no, no, no, see,

those were not for me.

Those were for my buddy, Matt.

Matt?

Matt's real,

you met him at the bar.

Matt's not old enough

to buy his own condoms?

[sighs]

They were a gag gift.

It's for his birthday.

But I think your ex needed one.

Oh, no.

No, no, my ex had,

he had plenty.

He actually kept them,

he kept them in a fishbowl

of sorts by his bed.

This is a true story,

I'm not messing with you.

This is terrible.

-I know.

-That's terrible.

-Yeah, it's embarrassing.

-Oh, wow.

Wow, he sounds great.

Real genius, that one.

Yeah, yeah, your ex was--

she was a brain surgeon?

[Mason laughs]

No.

And?

Just... just happened.

Oh, no, come on,

there's always a moment.

What was it?

-Okay, funny story.

-Oh.

I came home from work one day,

and she'd moved

everything around.

In the kitchen,

the pots, the pans,

plates, silverware, everything.

It was just like, I couldn't

find any of my stuff.

No.

The plates were,

like, on the top shelf.

Totally out of reach.

And it didn't bother me at

the time, it really didn't.

But right after that,

we had started

just having, like,

problem after problem.

I just, I don't know, I just,

it's the beginning of the end.

Anyway, like, three weeks later,

she was gone, we had broken up.

And I put everything

back the way that it was,

the way it was supposed to be.

Of course.

I guess, my question

that I'm still kinda like

playing with my head is what,

like if she needed

like a change,

why didn't she just talk

to me about it, you know?

-Why not just ask me?

-Yeah.

You wanna know something

a little shitty, though?

I love shitty.

-Oh, you're in luck.

-Okay, hit me.

I...

[chuckles]

It only took me

about three weeks...

to forget that she had

ever lived with me.

-Oh, God.

-God.

-That's really bad.

-Terrible.

It's even worse

when I said it out loud.

But she rearranged

the pots, so.

-She was asking for it.

-She did?

-She did.

-She was asking for it.

-Yeah, she did do that.

-Yeah.

You gotta tell me something.

-What?

-Tell me something...

-Tell me something real.

-Okay, okay, okay.

-Okay.

-Come on.

For me, I just feel like

it's been a series of people

letting me down.

Not just guys,

like, my mom and my dad

and just people in general.

Yeah.

And so, I feel like

I sort of just...

retreated.

Yeah.

But the last few weeks,

although insane,

I feel like I've

caught my breath again.

Or at least I'm...

[exhales deeply]

...breathing again.

Well, that's good.

-It's good to breathe.

-You have to breathe.

I do.

I mean, I'd die without it, so.

Yes, you would.

[soft pensive music]

I don't know if that just

made any sense. [laughs]

Totally does.

I don't know, I, okay.

I guess what I'm trying

to say...

is I get it.

You know, in terms of us...

putting ourselves

back out there.

Thanks for the ear.

Any time.

[birds chirping]

[soft piano music]

Whatcha doing?

-Don't move.

-Okay.

Okay, if you move,

then I can't play my game.

Okay.

[Leah] How'd you sleep?

I slept really, really good.

Good.

Do not move.

Okay.

I'm gonna be so...

-[Leah laughs]

-[blocks clattering]

I'm so sorry.

-That was so close.

-I got so excited.

[both laugh]

Do you need coffee?

I would love some coffee.

Okay.

-Get up, then.

-Okay. [grunts]

Let me run to the bathroom.

Toothbrushes are

under the sink.

-Is that a hint?

-Yeah, you're disgusting.

[Mason laughs]

[hand taps]

A fruit so forbidden

A mask to be hidden

But we share the moon

As if we were free

Well, if I knew then

What I know now

These shackles here

Would be unbound

'Cause

[Mason] Any, uh,

big plans for the day?

-Here's your coffee.

-Oh, thank you.

Uh, yeah, actually,

I am gonna over to Gigi's.

Mm.

Gigi, yeah.

-Do you want cream cheese?

-Cream cheese would be great.

-Am I in the way?

-Mm-hmm.

Um... I'll take you.

No, you're fine, it's like

all the way across town.

I'm just gonna Uber.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

-No, it's fine, I can take you.

-You don't have to take me.

You don't have a car?

I-I do have a car.

Where's your car?

Um, it's in the shop.

-In the shop?

-Yeah.

What happened to your car?

Um...

-Mm, that's good.

-I know.

-There was a squirrel.

-There was a squirrel?

So, I swerved.

-Oh, no.

-Don't judge me.

I'm not judging you,

I'm waiting for you to share.

And then I hit a lamp,

but it's fine.

It's a squirrel, lamp, cool.

All righty, well, I'll take you.

Okay.

You'll like her.

-I'm excited to meet her.

-She's kind of crazy.

-Who's not?

-That's true.

-Hey, I got that.

-What?

-Yeah.

-I'm strong.

No, it's nothing, really.

-Okay.

-No problem.

-Thank you.

-Yeah.

-It's beautiful.

-I know.

I don't know

why I can't move in.

Oh, good, I just made cookies!

Oh, since when do you bake?

Since you've been

a very good girl.

So, last week?

Around then.

Who is this?

Mason Davis, ma'am.

Date number 20.

Oh, oh, so, you know

about our little agreement?

I do,

and I find it very refreshing.

Well, that means you have

a good sense of humor. [laughs]

Okay, this is nice.

Mason, thank you.

You can leave now,

you don't have to stay.

-That's okay.

-Actually,

it would be great if he could.

I have a very long

list of to-dos,

and I could use a little muscle.

She's joking.

You're joking.

-I'm not.

-Just tell me what to do, Gigi.

I would love to

tell you what to do.

This one's helpful,

but she's a little slow.

-Slow?

-I'm not slow.

-You coming?

-Yeah, I'm coming.

[hammer taps]

How's that, right there?

Yeah, um...

No, that's crooked.

It's not crooked,

it's perfect.

No, it's crooked.

It's not crooked,

you're crooked.

Step back.

Look, just a little bit crooked.

Yeah, you're right,

it's crooked.

[Leah laughs]

What'd you say?

I think I said something along

the lines of you were right,

and it was crooked.

There we go.

How's that?

-It's much better.

-What? I said you were right.

-I know.

-[toolbox clatters]

-[body thuds]

[Leah grunts]

[Mason laughs]

You okay?

-Yeah, are you okay?

-Yeah, I'm good.

I'm so sorry.

That's okay.

[Leah laughs, Leah sighs]

-I did try to get you up.

-Yeah, you did try.

You're clumsy, though.

Oh, I am a bit clumsy.

Mm.

[soft piano music]

Mason, I have more dates.

Yeah, right.

-That's right.

-It's just the dates.

No, it's okay, yeah.

I understand, you gotta

do what you gotta do.

Please, I don't, I don't

want you to be mad, okay?

I'm not, no, I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm really not.

-It's okay.

-Please, I'm...

I'm really just trying to get

through these dates, and, uh,

I'm trying to figure it out.

-I know.

-Trying to commit to it.

Yeah.

It's good. No, you should.

-Right.

-It's okay.

It's okay.

Okay.

I should get going.

-It's all good.

-Okay.

So, you're on the floor

Shook to the core

'Cause I know you care

'Cause I was there

What am I doing?

I saw your eyes

[envelopes rustling]

Hey, it was really great

to meet you, I'm headed out.

Oh, Mason,

before you get away,

I have a little something

for ya.

Oh, um, Gigi, I--

Listen...

Leah's wasted a lot of time

on a lot of jackasses.

And you, my dear,

are not a jackass.

[chuckles]

Thank you. [chuckles]

And thank you for this.

I hope you come.

Hope so too.

[footsteps receding]

[door opens]

A handsome man has just

stepped out the door.

Yeah, yeah, no, I know.

Plenty of fish in the sea,

as mom would say, right?

I thought we weren't

talking about her anymore.

Yeah, but I really don't

wanna be like my mom, Gigi.

I think I might have screwed

up with her a little bit.

I don't know.

Maybe I was too harsh, or...

little of this, little of that.

But you know,

all any of us can do is

just to try as best we can.

[soft melancholic music]

But I think

I got it right with you.

You think?

[Leah sniffles]

Even though I almost burnt

the porch down that one time?

Baby, you could've

burnt the whole house down,

and I'd still love you.

Thank you.

[keyboard clacking]

-Hey.

-Hey.

Hi, sorry, wait.

[Leah clears throat]

I, uh, I got you something.

It's a b*mb!

-Whoa.

-Surprise!

-Thank you.

-Yeah.

I also wanted to say that

I am sorry for the other day.

You could have just texted.

Yeah, no, no, I could have,

I could have just texted,

but a b*mb is way more fun.

So much more fun.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, entirely.

I'm also really sorry

for not wrapping it.

It is wrapped, it's in a box.

-Sure, yeah.

-It's perfect.

-Okay.

-Thank you.

Well, you should go work.

-Gotta go work.

-Yeah.

-[camera mechanism whirs]

-[soft beat music]

-You got this.

-Grip, step, step.

Grip, step, step.

Grip, step, step.

Grip, step, step.

Yes.

[Leah shrieks]

-Okay, okay.

-Grip, step, step.

Yeah.

-Let's go, let's go, yeah!

-[all applaud]

-[Leah laughs]

-[all cheer and applaud]

[Bianca laughs]

Oh my gosh.

[all cheer and applaud]

Oh, wow, I'm so high.

I'm so high.

-Oh my God!

-Holy sh*t, how do I get down?

What do I, wait, what do I do?

-Slide down.

-Okay, okay.

Just slide down.

-Okay.

-Yeah.

-Yes.

-Just what?

Fall down?

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

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

No, no, no, hold on, hold on.

-I'm coming down.

-Like a waterfall.

Okay.

-You need to slide.

-Slide, slide down.

-Slide down, okay?

-Okay.

-Yes.

-Okay.

-Okay.

-Yeah.

-Yes.

-You got it.

Yes.

Okay.

[all cheer and applaud]

Oh my God.

Oh, oh.

You don't look so good.

Oh, no. Oh.

Oh God, oh.

I'm totally fine.

No, no, no, no,

she's not, she's not okay.

Oh.

[Leah heaving]

Oh.

I'm not gonna scream.

I'm gonna walk away slowly

and cry in my car.

Okay, okay.

[soft beat music]

[soft melancholic music]

-Hey, Mason.

-Uh, hey, um...

Have you seen Leah?

Oh.

I'm sorry I have

to tell you this.

What happened?

It was a long

night for all of us.

Bianca, please,

just tell me what happened.

She's at Gigi's.

She's at Gigi's?

Yeah, she got some really

gnarly food poisoning.

You made that sound

so much worse than it was.

I know.

-Oh, you did that on purpose?

-Mm-hmm.

-You're funny.

-Yeah.

Wow, you got me. Um...

Why aren't you with her?

Because I don't

do well with vomit.

Okay.

But she's accepting visitors

if you wanna cheer her up.

Good to know.

-Okay, I'll see you later.

-Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

[birds chirping]

[Mason knocks]

[soft percussive music]

Ah, crap! [chuckles]

-Hi, there.

-Hey.

How can I help you?

I heard there's

a sick girl here.

Yeah, yeah, she and Gigi

have seen better days.

My grandpa's here

helping out as well.

Very kind. Um...

If you could just

give this to her.

That'd be great.

It's an inside joke, kind of...

It's really sweet.

Yeah.

And if you could let her know

I came by, that'd be great.

Mason.

-Big dog.

-Yeah, that's me.

-All right.

-Yeah.

-Later.

-Later.

-[percussive music continues]

-[door closes]

[footsteps receding]

Hey, how's the patient?

The patient is dead.

Some guy just

brought this over.

Mark or something.

-Mason?

-Yeah, him.

He a coworker?

Um...

No, no, he's number 20.

-Ow.

-Number what?

[Leah laughs]

Gigi and I made a deal,

that I would go on

40 consecutive dates

and prove to her

that love is a sham.

This was a long time ago?

No, this was like a month ago.

So, I was one of your dates?

Mm-hmm.

You were going out

with 39 other guys?

What?

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

It was more like in a row.

-In a row?

-Yeah.

And trust me, it was not

as easy as it sounds.

No, no, no,

it takes a lot of stamina.

Stamina?

What were you doing

with these guys?

Oh God, what weren't we doing?

I mean it was like

nonstop, you know,

it was like all over the city.

This one guy,

he took me to a church.

I-I-I can't hear any more.

What?

No, don't worry,

we didn't make it inside.

You did it outside of a church?

No, I ran away

once he took the blindfold off.

How else am I

supposed to make rent?

You have a very messed-up

relationship with your family.

Okay, I was just having fun.

With 40 other guys?

Geez, ow, yeah, and?

It's been nice knowing you.

[footsteps receding]

[Leah grunts]

-[plastic crunches]

-[Leah heaving]

[soft guitar music]

[line ringing]

Oh God, Leah.

Hey.

Hi.

You feeling better?

No, but I have a question.

-[Mason] Okay.

-Um...

What was in the bag?

Why?

It suffered a casualty.

Would you just tell me?

I'm curious,

but it was just

bath bombs and stuff.

All the girl stuff

the store could offer.

A b*mb for a b*mb.

Yeah.

It's funny.

I'm glad you

think so, I did too.

Get some rest.

Text me later.

Okay.

Okay.

Bye.

Okay.

Okay, thank you,

I'll be right there.

What's going on, it's good?

Uh...

Bailey wants to see me.

Okay.

-In her office.

-Good.

-Right now.

-Good, yeah, this is good.

-Yeah.

-[both] That is good, right?

-Yeah, I think it's good.

-Yeah, yeah, good news.

Yeah, no, I don't,

I haven't done anything bad.

-You haven't done anything.

-I don't think I have, I mean...

-No.

-No.

-There, no.

-No?

-No, it's fine.

-You're fine.

Yeah, you're fine, no, no, no.

don't get worried about it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't

freak out, don't freak out.

-I don't even know.

-Confidence. Yeah, you're good.

-Okay, stay there.

-Yeah, I'm not going anywhere.

-I'll be right back.

-Good.

-Good vibes, good vibes.

-I'm fine.

Yeah, yeah,

yeah, chill, chill.

[Bianca] I'm easy.

[phone dings]

She loved my designs.

She wants to see

more of my designs.

That's awesome.

Congrats.

-[footsteps receding]

-[soft guitar music]

Congrats, Leah.

Ooh.

[soft guitar music continues]

-[footsteps tapping]

-[indistinct chatter]

Well, what's up?

Look, I wanna give you

a second chance.

A second chance?

You know, I'll admit that

sleeping with 40 other men,

it throws me a little bit.

Jackson?

I've decided to look past that

'cause I see myself

as a very forgiving person.

Jackson, um...

Yeah, not that it's

any of your business,

but I wasn't sleeping

with any of them.

-But you said--

-If you could stop, just stop.

It's not what I said.

It's what you thought of me.

And...

yeah, you don't

really know me.

No, but I want

to get to know you.

You check so many of my boxes.

I'll see you later, Jackson.

So, no?

That's a hell no, baby.

What?

-Oh.

-Oh my God.

-Sorry.

-I'm so sorry.

Oh, hey.

You know, we really

gotta stop doing that.

We're gonna get hurt.

-Yeah, seriously.

[both chuckle]

Did you just crawl out

of the sewer or something?

No, this is-- this is my office.

Yeah, no, that

makes more sense.

-Mason, were things weird--

-Do you remember...

what you said on our first date?

About having a thing?

Oh, yeah, yeah,

yeah, that thing.

Have you found a thing?

I don't think that people

can find a thing in a month.

[chuckles]

So, Jackson is...?

Jackson?

-What?

-No, Mason.

Jackson's not...

in the picture.

-He's not?

-No.

Okay.

Okay.

Um...

Before I met you, I had, like,

a vague idea of what I wanted.

But, Leah, now,

I wake up in the morning,

and you are the first thing

that I think about.

Okay, um...

Mason, we can't.

We can't have this

talk right now.

The dates?

Okay.

I get it.

I get it.

[soft melancholic music]

-[indistinct chatter]

-[footsteps approaching]

He was supposed

to be here at 5:30.

-What time is it now?

-6:00.

Ah.

I think Mama got stood up.

I think you're right.

Tonight was date number 40,

Steven.

Ohh.

You wouldn't wanna?

-To, oh...?

-Yeah.

Well, I have been

waiting for this moment

for the past 39 dates.

-Best date yet.

-[both laugh]

Should we take a picture?

Oh, yes, and I came prepared.

-So, I'm just gonna, yep.

-Oh.

Where has this been?

Special occasions.

-Here we go, ready?

-Of course.

Men of a certain age.

And straight face for grandma.

There we go.

She's gonna want me to date you.

-I'm down.

-What do we do?

-We eat bruschetta.

-[Leah laughs]

And drink copious

amounts of wine.

[Leah laughs]

Deal.

[Host] We'll be right back to

Murders, Murders, Murders.

There she is, my little angel,

home from her 40 dates.

-Hey.

-How you feeling?

A month and a half older.

[Gigi laughs]

Did you cash your check?

No, I lost the bet.

What are you talking about?

You didn't lose the bet.

I didn't find anybody.

I think you might

have lost your mind,

but you didn't lose the bet.

I did, it's okay.

-Leah?

-What?

-Leah?

-What?

Are you blind?

No.

Mason...

-I don't wanna--

-Mason is crazy about you.

Do you not see

how he looks at you?

Do you not know what you look

like when you look at him?

What if you found out that

you could never see him again?

How would you feel then?

He's the keeper, honey.

He's the keeper.

Can I borrow your car?

Mm-hmm.

Sure.

-Okay, okay, okay.

-Yeah, hurry up.

Oh, sh**t, I think I might

have forgotten to plug it in.

-What, again?

-I'm old, okay? I forgot.

Just make a run for it.

I love you, thank you.

I love you.

I look fine, right?

Go!

[door closes]

Don't want to have

To say goodbye for the night

This feeling is so heavy

And it takes a bite

At my heart that you're

Holding with your left hand

And I can't understand

If we are breakin' up

We go where no one

Knows where we go

[Leah panting and coughing]

God. [panting]

The anxiety is killin' you

Oh, sorry, sorry,

sorry, excuse me, sorry.

But we can't go deep

Hi, sorry.

In the in-between

We're holding on to

[Leah panting]

Oh God, oh God, oh God, okay.

Okay, I can do this.

[Leah knocks]

Mason?

[Leah knocks]

Come on, I know you're awake.

Please. [panting]

Okay, look, um...

God, if you could,

if you could just please

just let me in, okay?

I would really like to see you.

And talk to you.

And, uh...

I also totally get it

if you don't want that.

And that's so valid. But I...

Are you out of breath?

Yeah.

Why? [chuckles]

I can tell you about it

if you let me in.

[door opens]

Hi.

Hello.

-Come in.

-[footsteps approaching]

Okay, uh...

[panting]

I um, I lied.

I lied the other day,

and I shouldn't have.

I shouldn't have done that,

and I hate that I did.

And I know that I...

that I have screwed up.

A couple of times. Um...

[panting]

Do you have water?

-Water? Yeah, I have water.

-Yeah, yeah.

-That would be great.

-Yeah.

You kind of live far away.

-Here.

-Okay.

-Yeah.

-Mm-hmm. Mm.

-Mm.

-Mm-hmm.

Wow, it's really good.

-Really good, yeah.

-Really good water.

Okay, um.

Okay.

Okay.

Here's the deal. I, uh...

-I really liked our date.

-Yeah, okay.

No, don't laugh, I mean...

I'm being really

serious right now, okay?

I really liked it.

And then...

And then you come,

here you are, you know,

you're walking on in to...

to work,

and my stomach does like

this really weird thing

that I've like never,

like I've never felt before.

And, um,

you know what I've realized?

I've realized

that I don't think,

like, at all, when I'm with you.

I just... I kind of exist.

And oh, okay, yeah, I'm done.

And then I...

I just kind of melt.

And look, Mason,

I know that it's...

Um... I know that it

sounds like an excuse,

but I... I don't know,

I think I've just been so

terrified of this feeling,

the truth is I, I'm just

scared of it stopping.

And, um, God... um...

[soft pensive music]

So, I guess, I'm trying

to say that I wanna go on...

Oh, God, I wanna go

on a date with you

and have it not be for,

like, a bet.

That's, yeah, that's all.

That's why I've run here to you.

[soft piano music]

God, why didn't

you do that sooner?

-Oh, shut up.

-Well, you should have tried

-like to move me or something.

-I tried.

What do you think?

I mean, this is silly.

[laughs]

-This is like all mine?

-Yeah.

Like forever?

They're not gonna take it down?

Unless you get fired.

That won't happen.

Wait, do I have

to call you boss?

-No, ew, weird.

-Okay.

Look at me. Me.

Leah Jones, junior designer.

Promoted looks

really good on you.

Hey, I'm proud of you.

Thanks, B.

I'm proud of you.

Okay, you've got...

What's going on with you?

-Me?

-You've got some like--

I don't know,

I'm like totally normal.

Oh my God.

Did you?

I don't know, maybe.

Who knows?

I don't know, but...

Congratulations.

Yes, a pleasure, thank you

so much. Make an appointment.

-Anytime.

-Anytime.

In my office.

-See me in my office.

-I'll see you in my office.

Oh, okay.

Hi. [laughs]

[footsteps receding]

-Okay.

-This is the perfect cake.

[Leah] I know.

-Good choice.

-Kind of k*lled it.

Yeah.

-Can you fix my hair?

-Okay, oh, yeah.

-Wow, kind of sexy.

-You look great.

-I know, let's go in.

-Let's talk about that later.

Okay.

-Hey, now.

-What?

[indistinct chatter]

-[all cheer]

-Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Gigi

Happy birthday to you

[all cheer and applaud]

Make a wish, make a wish.

[all cheer and applaud]

[soft guitar music]

[soft guitar music ends]

Okay, um,

what is your purgatory?

What do you mean?

Well, you know, like

mine's being trapped in,

like, an elevator with, like,

endless Christmas music playing.

Okay, okay, I'm on board, um...

stuck upside down

on a roller coaster.

Yeah, no, that'd be terrible.

-Right?

-Yeah, really bad.

Awful.

Okay, your idea of heaven?

Endless tacos and no traffic.

Yeah, agreed.

You?

Thunderstorms.

But like, on command.

-Oh, nice, just like...

-Like I'm commanding them.

Yeah.

Just like heaven, nice, okay.

Okay, you should know this:

I have a fear of ants.

-Okay.

-I don't like 'em.

-It's good to know.

-Mm-hmm.

For me, it's clowns.

-What the hell?

-I lied to you.

-I knew it.

-[both laugh]

-I freaking knew that.

-I totally did.

I totally lied to you.

Sorry about that.

That's okay.

-Allergies?

-Douchebags.

-Naturally.

-Mm-hmm.

Dating apps?

Deleted.

Weeks ago.

-Nice. [laughs]

-[camera lens shutters]

You're contagious

Never seen nobody

Move so dangerous

And the fact is I ain't

Never gonna shake this

Oh no, no, oh no, no, no

I'm getting sick of like

A love temptations

So fair like the juice

I'm craving

And the fact is

You're a little contagious

Oh no, no, oh, no, no, no

Moving sweet and sultry

If I may

I'm moving in

I got the diagnosis

Doc says my heart

Is craving

A daily dose for saving

I just wanna be the one

Gotta be the one you call

Wanna be your front mind

Yeah, I need to be

The one you sleep with

The one you wanna be with

The one

You're getting tired

[upbeat dramatic music]
