1. Oh, fuck.Copy !req
2. - Yeah?
- Miles, can you move your car, please?Copy !req
3. - Why?
- Because the roofers gotta get the truck in.Copy !req
4. - You didn't park too good. Okay?
- Yeah. All right.Copy !req
5. Hold on.Copy !req
6. Sorry. Sorry, gentlemen.Copy !req
7. Sorry.Copy !req
8. Oh, fuck me!Copy !req
9. I know I said
I would be there by noon...Copy !req
10. but there's all of this work
going on at my building...Copy !req
11. and it's just a total nightmare.Copy !req
12. I had a bunch of stuff
I had to deal with this morning...Copy !req
13. but I'm on my way.Copy !req
14. I'm out the door right now.Copy !req
15. - Hi, Simon.
- Hey, Miles.Copy !req
16. - Triple espresso, please?
- For here?Copy !req
17. No, actually.
I'm running late. Make it to go.Copy !req
18. And give me a New York Times
and a spinach croissant.Copy !req
19. Thank you.Copy !req
20. Well, hello!Copy !req
21. - Hello, Mrs. Erganian. How are you?
- Come on in.Copy !req
22. - Thank you. Is Jack still here?
- Yes.Copy !req
23. Shot on the way to the 118.Copy !req
24. Look what the cat dragged.Copy !req
25. - Hi, everybody. Sorry.
- Hey.Copy !req
26. Somebody finally arrived.Copy !req
27. You finally got here. Mr. Prompt.Copy !req
28. - Oh, remember my kids? Alex, Helen?
- Hi. How are you?Copy !req
29. We were thinking maybe you went
the wrong way, you went to Tijuana...Copy !req
30. - Right.
- And they don't let you back.Copy !req
31. - Yes! Yes!
- Daddy!Copy !req
32. - I had to bribe them.
- Hey, Miles.Copy !req
33. Hey. How are you, Christine?Copy !req
34. Yeah, the freeway was unbelievable.Copy !req
35. Unbelievable.
It was bumper-to-bumper the whole way.Copy !req
36. People getting an early start
on the weekend, I guess.Copy !req
37. Granted, I got a late start, but...Copy !req
38. Well, we're just glad you made it.Copy !req
39. Christine, why don't you
ask Miles about the cake?Copy !req
40. - Oh, good idea. Come with me.
- What's this?Copy !req
41. We don't really have time for that,
'cause we gotta hit the road.Copy !req
42. - Oh, come on! It's just gonna take a second.!
- Yeah.Copy !req
43. Jack tells us you are publishing a book.
Congratulations.Copy !req
44. Yes, congratulations.Copy !req
45. Yes, well
it's not exactly finalized yet.Copy !req
46. - So... There has been some interest, and...
- Your friend is modest.Copy !req
47. Oh, come on, Miles.
Don't be so modest. Indulge them.Copy !req
48. - Don't make me out to be a liar.
- What is the subject of your book?Copy !req
49. - Nonfiction?
- No. It's... It's a novel.Copy !req
50. Fiction. Yes.Copy !req
51. Although there is quite a bit
from my own life...Copy !req
52. so I suppose that, technically,
some of it is nonfiction.Copy !req
53. Good. I like nonfiction.Copy !req
54. There is so much to know
about this world.Copy !req
55. I think you read something somebody
just invented it, waste of time.Copy !req
56. That's an interesting perspective.Copy !req
57. - So, which one do you like better?
- Oh, well, I like them both.Copy !req
58. But if pressed, I would have to say
that I prefer the dark.Copy !req
59. Told ya.!Copy !req
60. - Bye-bye.
- Bye.Copy !req
61. - Bye.
- Bye.Copy !req
62. Bye.Copy !req
63. Where the fuck were you, man?
I was dying in there.Copy !req
64. - We're supposed to be a hundred miles away by now.
- I can't help the traffic.Copy !req
65. Oh, come on. You're fucking hungover.
You know you are.Copy !req
66. Okay, there was
a tasting last night, yes.Copy !req
67. But I wanted to get us something nice
for the ride up. Check out the box.Copy !req
68. Why did you tell them
that my novel was being published?Copy !req
69. - 'Cause you said you had it all lined up.
- No, I didn't. No. No.Copy !req
70. What I said was that there was
some interest at Conundrum.Copy !req
71. - Yeah. Conundrum.
- And that one of the editors was passing it to a senior editor.Copy !req
72. Sounds pretty good to me.
Sounds like you're in.Copy !req
73. No. It's a long shot.Copy !req
74. Besides, Conundrum,
it's just a small specialty press.Copy !req
75. I'm not gonna get my hopes up.Copy !req
76. You know? I've stopped caring.Copy !req
77. The hell with it.
I have stopped caring.Copy !req
78. It sounds like it's gonna happen this time.
I mean, I can feel it.Copy !req
79. I think this is the one.Copy !req
80. I'm really proud of you, man.Copy !req
81. - Don't open that now. It's warm.
- Why not?Copy !req
82. Jack, that is a 1992 Byron.
It's really rare. Okay?Copy !req
83. - I've been saving it. Don't...
- All right. I won't open it.Copy !req
84. Jack!Copy !req
85. Half of it gone.Copy !req
86. Hey, shut up. Okay?Copy !req
87. Here's to a great week.Copy !req
88. Come on.Copy !req
89. Yes. Absolutely.Copy !req
90. Despite your crass behavior...Copy !req
91. I'm actually glad
we're getting this time together.Copy !req
92. Yeah. Me too.Copy !req
93. I've been looking forward to this
for a long time.Copy !req
94. - Was beginning to think it was never gonna happen.
- Man! That's tasty!Copy !req
95. That's 100% pinot noir.
Single vineyard.Copy !req
96. They don't even make it anymore.Copy !req
97. Pinot noir?Copy !req
98. - Then how come it's white?
- Oh, Jesus.Copy !req
99. Don't ask questions like that
up in wine country.Copy !req
100. - They'll think you're some kind of dumbshit.
- Just tell me.Copy !req
101. Color in red wines
comes from the skins.Copy !req
102. This juice, on the other hand,
is free run...Copy !req
103. so that there's no skin contact
during fermentation...Copy !req
104. Did you read the latest draft, by the way?Copy !req
105. - Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- And?Copy !req
106. It's great.Copy !req
107. I mean, there are so many improvements.
It's much tighter.Copy !req
108. Just seems... I don't know,
more congealed or something.Copy !req
109. What about the new ending?
Did you like that?Copy !req
110. Oh, yeah. New ending
vastly superior to the old ending.Copy !req
111. There is no new ending.Copy !req
112. Page 750 on is exactly the same.Copy !req
113. Well, maybe it just seemed new...Copy !req
114. because everything leading up to it
was so different?Copy !req
115. Yeah! That must be it!Copy !req
116. Why are we getting off?Copy !req
117. - I just wanna make one quick stop.
- For what?Copy !req
118. - I just thought we could say a quick hello to my mother.
- Your mother?Copy !req
119. Look, it's her birthday tomorrow.
Okay?Copy !req
120. - And I don't feel right driving by and not stopping in.
- Okay.Copy !req
121. - It'll take a second. She's right off the freeway.
- Okay!Copy !req
122. I didn't know it was her birthday.
How old is she gonna be?Copy !req
123. 70-something.Copy !req
124. Oh. Here, hold these
for just a second.Copy !req
125. Thank you.Copy !req
126. - Surprise.!
- Surprise!Copy !req
127. - Happy birthday, Mom!
- Happy birthday!Copy !req
128. Oh, my God! Miles! And Jack!Copy !req
129. What a surprise!Copy !req
130. I can't remember the last time
you brought me flowers!Copy !req
131. Happy birthday, Mom.Copy !req
132. They're from both of us.Copy !req
133. - A famous actor bringing me flowers for my birthday!
- Right? Yeah!Copy !req
134. - Don't I feel special?
- And champagne.!Copy !req
135. - Famous actor's getting married next week, Mom.
- Oh, that's right!Copy !req
136. Isn't that nice.Copy !req
137. I hope that girl knows
how lucky she is...Copy !req
138. marrying no less
than Derek Sommersby.Copy !req
139. Gosh, that was, like, 11 years ago,
Mrs. Raymond.Copy !req
140. Well, you were wonderful in that show.!Copy !req
141. Why that didn't make you the biggest
movie star in the world is a sin!Copy !req
142. Oh, now, Miles...Copy !req
143. why didn't you tell me you were coming
and bringing this handsome man?Copy !req
144. Look how I'm dressed!Copy !req
145. I've gotta run and put my face on.Copy !req
146. You look fabulous, Mrs. Raymond.Copy !req
147. Oh, stop it!Copy !req
148. Make yourselves comfortable.Copy !req
149. - You boys hungry?
- Yeah, I'm hungry.Copy !req
150. Along with the battle casualties...Copy !req
151. Just a snack.Copy !req
152. The Germans lost almost a million men.Copy !req
153. To replace them, Hitler turned
to his last resort of manpower.Copy !req
154. This is delicious, Mrs. Raymond.
Absolutely delicious.Copy !req
155. They're just leftovers.Copy !req
156. I-Is this chicken?Copy !req
157. I could have made something fancier...Copy !req
158. if a certain someone had let me know
that a certain someone...Copy !req
159. was coming for a visit
and bringing a certain special friend.Copy !req
160. It was a surprise, Mom.Copy !req
161. And I could've already put clean sheets...Copy !req
162. on the other bed and the foldout.Copy !req
163. You are staying.Copy !req
164. Wendy, Ron and the twins are picking us up
30 to go to brunch at the Sheraton.Copy !req
165. They do a magnificent job there.Copy !req
166. - You talked to Wendy?
- Just now.Copy !req
167. She's thrilled! And the twins...Copy !req
168. No, no, I bet. I bet. Yeah.Copy !req
169. Well, you know, Jack is pretty eager
to to get up to...Copy !req
170. You know.Copy !req
171. But, yeah, absolutely.
We'll see how it goes.Copy !req
172. Well, you boys do what you want.Copy !req
173. I just thought it would be nice for us
to be together as a family on my birthday.Copy !req
174. I'll be right back.Copy !req
175. And what was that other one you did?Copy !req
176. The one where you were the jogger.Copy !req
177. Oh, that was for Spray 'n Wash.Copy !req
178. Spray 'n Wash! That's the one!Copy !req
179. Gosh. I remember the girl that was
in it with me. She was somethin'.Copy !req
180. I just remember you jogging.Copy !req
181. So, when's the wedding?Copy !req
182. Next Saturday, Mom.
Remember? We told you.Copy !req
183. And Miles is my best man, Mrs. Raymond.
My main man.Copy !req
184. Miles, when are you going
to get married again?Copy !req
185. I just got divorced, Phyllis.Copy !req
186. Two years ago, buddy.Copy !req
187. You should get back together...Copy !req
188. with Victoria.Copy !req
189. She was good for you.Copy !req
190. She was good for you!Copy !req
191. And so beautiful, and so intelligent.Copy !req
192. You knew her, right?Copy !req
193. Oh, yeah. Real well. Still do.Copy !req
194. I'm worried about you, Miles.Copy !req
195. Do you need some money?Copy !req
196. Jack.Copy !req
197. Jack.Copy !req
198. Jack, come on.Copy !req
199. A rubber bag food slinger?Copy !req
200. Are you kidding me?Copy !req
201. Our super-amazing tree house...Copy !req
202. brought about by our
two-by-four technology...Copy !req
203. Jack! No, no, no, no. She'll wake up.Copy !req
204. Who did this?Copy !req
205. - I did!
- What?Copy !req
206. She was tired, silly.Copy !req
207. Our ship was so high!Copy !req
208. They need a vacation!Copy !req
209. Hamster holiday! Fun for all!Copy !req
210. Fuck! Too early in the morning for that.
You know what I mean?Copy !req
211. Oh. She's a kid, for God's sake.Copy !req
212. As if she would even be attracted
to guys like us in the first place.Copy !req
213. Speak for yourself, man. I get chicks
looking at me all the time. All ages.Copy !req
214. Dudes too.Copy !req
215. Well, it's not worth it.
You pay too big a price.Copy !req
216. - It's never free.
- You need to get laid, Miles.Copy !req
217. That's gonna be my best-man gift
to you this week.Copy !req
218. I'm gonna get you laid.Copy !req
219. Wonderful.Copy !req
220. I'm not gonna get you a gift certificate or
a penknife or any of that other horseshit.Copy !req
221. - I'd rather have a knife.
- No.Copy !req
222. You have been officially depressed
for, like, two years now.Copy !req
223. You're a negative guy anyway,
even back in college.Copy !req
224. And now it's worse.Copy !req
225. You're wasting away. Teaching English
to fucking eighth-graders?Copy !req
226. When they oughta be reading what you wrote.
Your books, Miles.Copy !req
227. - I'm working on it.
- Not working hard enough.Copy !req
228. - Are you still seeing that shrink?
- I saw him on Monday.Copy !req
229. I spent most of the time
helping him with his computer.Copy !req
230. Well, I say fuck therapy and...
What is that stuff you take? Xanax?Copy !req
231. And Lexapro, yes.Copy !req
232. Well, I say fuck that too. You need
to get your joint worked on, Miles.Copy !req
233. Okay, Jack... Jack...Copy !req
234. This week is not about me.
It is about you.Copy !req
235. I'm gonna show you a good time.Copy !req
236. We're gonna drink a lot of good wine,
we're gonna play some golf...Copy !req
237. we're gonna eat some great food,
enjoy the scenery...Copy !req
238. and we're gonna send you off in style,
mon frere.Copy !req
239. And get your bone smooched.Copy !req
240. You know what?Copy !req
241. Let's take the Santa Rosa Road exit
and hit Sanford first. Okay?Copy !req
242. Sounds good to me. I need a drink.Copy !req
243. These guys make top-notch pinot
and chardonnay.Copy !req
244. One of the best producers
in Santa Barbara County.Copy !req
245. - I thought you hated chardonnay.
- No, no, no. I like all varietals.Copy !req
246. I just don't generally like the way
they manipulate chardonnay in California.Copy !req
247. Too much oak and secondary
malolactic fermentation.Copy !req
248. You see, the reason that this region
is so good for pinot...Copy !req
249. is that the cold air off the Pacific
flows in at night...Copy !req
250. and it just cools down the berries.Copy !req
251. Pinot's a very thin-skinned grape.Copy !req
252. It doesn't like constant heat or humidity.
Very delicate.Copy !req
253. Let me show you how this is done.Copy !req
254. First thing... hold the glass up and
examine the wine against the light.Copy !req
255. You're looking for color and clarity.Copy !req
256. - Just get a sense of it. Okay?
- Okay.Copy !req
257. Thick? Thin? Watery? Syrupy?Copy !req
258. - Okay?
- Okay.Copy !req
259. Now tip it.Copy !req
260. What you're doing here is checking for color
density as it thins out towards the rim.Copy !req
261. That's gonna tell you how old it is,
among other things.Copy !req
262. It's usually
more important with reds.Copy !req
263. - Okay?
- Okay.Copy !req
264. Now stick your nose in it.Copy !req
265. - Yeah?
- Don't be shy.Copy !req
266. Really get your nose right in there.
Really...Copy !req
267. A little citrus.Copy !req
268. Maybe some strawberry.Copy !req
269. Passion fruit.Copy !req
270. And... There's just,
like, the faintest...Copy !req
271. soupcon of like asparagus and...Copy !req
272. There's a... just a flutter of, like, a...Copy !req
273. like, a nutty Edam cheese.Copy !req
274. - Strawberries. Yeah.
- Good.Copy !req
275. - Strawberries. Not the cheese.
- All right.Copy !req
276. Put your glass down.
Get some air into it.Copy !req
277. Oxygenating it opens it up.Copy !req
278. It unlocks the aromas, the flavors.
Very important.Copy !req
279. Smell again.Copy !req
280. That's what you do
with every one of'em.Copy !req
281. - When do we drink it?
- Now.Copy !req
282. How would you rate this one, Miles?Copy !req
283. Well, usually they start you on wines
with learning disabilities...Copy !req
284. but this one is pretty damn good.Copy !req
285. - This is the new one. Right, Chris?
- Just released two months ago.Copy !req
286. - Nice job.
- We like it.Copy !req
287. You could work in a wine store,
Miles.Copy !req
288. Yeah. That'd be a good move.Copy !req
289. Are you chewing gum?Copy !req
290. Do you think I'm making a mistake
marrying Christine?Copy !req
291. Do you think I'm doing the right thing, Miles?
Tell me the truth.Copy !req
292. I mean, you've been there.Copy !req
293. Well, you know, I... I think that you
waited for some good reason...Copy !req
294. and that you proposed to Christine
for some good reason...Copy !req
295. so I think it's great.Copy !req
296. It's time.Copy !req
297. I mean, you gotta have your eyes open,
that's all.Copy !req
298. I mean, look at me.
I thought Victoria and I were set for life.Copy !req
299. Christine's dad,
he's really been talking to me...Copy !req
300. about bringing me into his property
business, showing me the ropes.Copy !req
301. Which is something, considering how long it
took him to get over my not being Armenian.Copy !req
302. So I'm thinking about it.Copy !req
303. But I don't know.Copy !req
304. Might get a little incestuous.Copy !req
305. But Mike does great.
A lot of high-end commercial stuff.Copy !req
306. - So you're gonna stop acting?
- No way! No.Copy !req
307. This would just provide some stability.Copy !req
308. I could always squeeze in a commercial
or an audition here, there.Copy !req
309. Keep myself in the game in case
something really great came along.Copy !req
310. We're not getting any younger, Miles.Copy !req
311. No. No.Copy !req
312. - Hey, hey, hey.!
- Hey.Copy !req
313. - Miles!
- Sir.Copy !req
314. - Long time no see.
- Gary, nice to see you.Copy !req
315. - When's your novel coming out? We all wanna read it.
- Soon, soon, soon.Copy !req
316. This is my buddyJack.
He's getting married next week.Copy !req
317. - My condolences, man.
- What are you pouring tonight?Copy !req
318. We have got a lot of good stuff.Copy !req
319. We have the new Bien Nacido.
You want a taste?Copy !req
320. Absolument.Copy !req
321. They make their own wine here.
It's just outstanding.Copy !req
322. Very special. Thank you.Copy !req
323. So, what do you think?Copy !req
324. Tighter than a nun's asshole.
But good concentration. Nice fruit.Copy !req
325. Pour us a couple, will ya.Copy !req
326. Yeah. It's tight.Copy !req
327. There you are, gentlemen.Copy !req
328. I will leave you the bottle.
And it is good to see you.Copy !req
329. Hey, man.
Here's to my last week of freedom.Copy !req
330. It's gonna be great.Copy !req
331. Here's to us.Copy !req
332. Miles.Copy !req
333. Check out that chick.Copy !req
334. Oh. Yeah. That's Maya.Copy !req
335. - You know her?
- Sure, I know Maya.Copy !req
336. - You know that chick?
- Yes. Jack, this is where I eat when I come up here.Copy !req
337. You know?
It's practically my office.Copy !req
338. And occasionally I have a drink
with the employees, yeah.Copy !req
339. Maya's great.
She's worked here a year, year and a half.Copy !req
340. She's incredibly hot.Copy !req
341. Yes, she is.
And nice. And married.Copy !req
342. Check out the rock.Copy !req
343. Oh, that doesn't mean shit.Copy !req
344. When Christine worked at Sushi Roku...Copy !req
345. she wore a big engagement ring
to keep guys from hitting on her.Copy !req
346. Think it worked? Fuck no.
How do you think I met her?Copy !req
347. Well, this gal is married to some
philosophy professor at U.C. Santa Barbara.Copy !req
348. What's a professor's wife doing waitressing?
Obviously that's over.Copy !req
349. Jack, you don't know anything
about this woman.Copy !req
350. Calm down. Let's just eat.Copy !req
351. - Hey, Miles!
- Oh! Hi, Maya.Copy !req
352. - How are you?
- I'm good. Good.Copy !req
353. You look great.
Did you lose some weight?Copy !req
354. No, actually.Copy !req
355. But... thank you.Copy !req
356. - Busy night?
- Sunday.Copy !req
357. You guys been out tasting?Copy !req
358. Oh, you know it. You know it.Copy !req
359. Oh, this is my friend, Jack. Jack, Maya.Copy !req
360. - Hiya.
- Hi.Copy !req
361. Well, it's good to see you. Bye, Miles.Copy !req
362. Oh. Back to work.Copy !req
363. - Jesus, she is jammin'.
- Yeah.Copy !req
364. And she's obviously into you.Copy !req
365. What else do you know about her?Copy !req
366. Well, she does know a lot about wine.Copy !req
367. Now we're getting somewhere.Copy !req
368. - She likes pinot.
- Perfect!Copy !req
369. She's a fucking waitress
in Buellton, Jack.Copy !req
370. How is that ever gonna work out?Copy !req
371. You dick. Why do you have to
focus on the negative?Copy !req
372. - See how friendly she was to you?
- She works for tips.Copy !req
373. You're blind, dude. Blind.Copy !req
374. I can also recommend the ostrich steak.
Very lean. Locally raised.Copy !req
375. Hey, Gary.Copy !req
376. - Highliner, please.
- You got it.Copy !req
377. - That's on us.
- Yes, indeed.Copy !req
378. Well, hey, guys. Do you mind?Copy !req
379. - Oh, no, no, no.
- You sure?Copy !req
380. Please. Light up, light up.Copy !req
381. In fact, would you like to join us?Copy !req
382. Sure.Copy !req
383. So, how's that book coming, Miles?Copy !req
384. I think you were almost finished with it
the last time we talked.Copy !req
385. - I finished it.
- Good for you!Copy !req
386. It's getting published.Copy !req
387. That's actually why
we're up here celebrating.Copy !req
388. Well, congratulations.Copy !req
389. - That's fantastic!
- Yeah.Copy !req
390. - Cheers.
- Thanks.Copy !req
391. Are you a writer too?Copy !req
392. No, Maya, I'm an actor.Copy !req
393. Really. What kind of stuff?Copy !req
394. A lot ofTV.Copy !req
395. I used to be a regular
on a couple of series.Copy !req
396. But lately it's been a lot of commercial work.
Nationals, mostly.Copy !req
397. Anything I might know?Copy !req
398. Perhaps. Do you recognize this?Copy !req
399. Now with a low, low
5.8% A.P.R. financing!Copy !req
400. That's hilarious!Copy !req
401. - You sound just like one of those guys.
- Am one of those guys.Copy !req
402. - You are not.
- He is.Copy !req
403. Consult your doctor

404. Side effects may include oily discharge...Copy !req
405. hives, loss of appetite,
low blood pressure.Copy !req
406. If you have diabetes
or a history of kidney trouble...Copy !req
407. you're dead, asshole!Copy !req
408. Yeah.Copy !req
409. So, what are you guys up to tonight?Copy !req
410. Oh, we're pretty wiped.Copy !req
411. I think we're just gonna go back
to the motel and crash.Copy !req
412. Yeah, I guess it's
kind of a long drive up here.Copy !req
413. Where are you staying?Copy !req
414. The Windmill.Copy !req
415. Windmill.Copy !req
416. The girl is looking to party...Copy !req
417. and you tell her we're going back
to the motel and crash?Copy !req
418. - Jesus, Miles!
- Well, I'm tired, Jack.Copy !req
419. - Aren't you tired?
- The chick digs you, man!Copy !req
420. She lit up like a pinball machine...Copy !req
421. when she found out
your novel was getting published.Copy !req
422. Now I have another lie to live down.Copy !req
423. - Thanks, Jack.
- Just trying to get you a little action.Copy !req
424. I would appreciate a little bit of help.Copy !req
425. Didn't seem to me like that's what
was going on. You were all over her.Copy !req
426. Well, somebody had to do the talking.Copy !req
427. And, by the way, I was right...
she's not married.Copy !req
428. - How do you know?
- No rock.Copy !req
429. When she came to the bar,
she was sans rock.Copy !req
430. What's the plan for today, Miles?Copy !req
431. Good. We head up north...Copy !req
432. Begin the grape tour up there...Copy !req
433. work our way south...Copy !req
434. so that the more we drink...Copy !req
435. the closer we get to the motel.Copy !req
436. What's your problem?Copy !req
437. What is it?Copy !req
438. I'm going to get my nut
on this trip, Miles...Copy !req
439. and you are not gonna
fuck it up for me...Copy !req
440. with all of your depression and anxiety
and neg-head downer shit.Copy !req
441. Well, now the cards are on the table.Copy !req
442. Yes, they are.Copy !req
443. And I am serious. Do
not fuck with me, Miles.Copy !req
444. I am going to get laid before I get married
on Saturday. Do you read me?Copy !req
445. Sure, big guy. Absolutely.Copy !req
446. Loud and clear.
Whatever you say.Copy !req
447. It's your party, evidently.Copy !req
448. Why don't you just...Copy !req
449. Yeah. Why don't you just go out,
and I'll catch a train back.Copy !req
450. No, Miles!Copy !req
451. Man, this is our week to get crazy.Copy !req
452. We should both be cutting loose.Copy !req
453. This could be our last chance.
This is our week, man.Copy !req
454. It's something we should share.Copy !req
455. This is our Syrah.Copy !req
456. Okay.Copy !req
457. Yeah? Like that?Copy !req
458. That's a big one.Copy !req
459. But it did sit with the skins for
about two weeks in an open-topped tank.Copy !req
460. - So that would explain all the tannins, no?
- Well, it is a young wine.Copy !req
461. - So as the wine ages, the tannins will dissipate.
- Right. Of course.Copy !req
462. - Excuse me for just a minute.
- Good stuff.Copy !req
463. Fill up there, bub.Copy !req
464. This is our estate chardonnay.Copy !req
465. Now, there's a girl who knows how to pour.
What's your name?Copy !req
466. Stephanie.Copy !req
467. Stephanie. Nice.Copy !req
468. So, what do you think?Copy !req
469. Quaff able.Copy !req
470. But far from transcendent.Copy !req
471. I like it. Tastes great.Copy !req
472. Oak-y.Copy !req
473. This is a cabernet franc.Copy !req
474. This is only the fifth year
we've made this varietal.Copy !req
475. Very few wineries around here
do a straight cab franc.Copy !req
476. It's from our vineyards
up in Santa Maria...Copy !req
477. and it was a silver medal winner...Copy !req
478. at Paso Robles last year.Copy !req
479. Well, I will tell you something.Copy !req
480. I've come never to expect greatness from
a cab franc, and this one is no different.Copy !req
481. It's kind of a hollow, flabby, overripe...Copy !req
482. I don't know.
Tastes pretty good to me.Copy !req
483. So do you live around here,
Stephanie?Copy !req
484. Yeah, up around Los Alamos.
And I agree with you about cab franc.Copy !req
485. We're just over in Buellton.Copy !req
486. The Windmill Inn.Copy !req
487. Oh, yeah?Copy !req
488. Do you happen to know a gal named Maya
that works at The Hitching Post?Copy !req
489. - Yeah. Sure. I know Maya. I know her real well.
- Yeah? No shit?Copy !req
490. We had a drink with her last night.
Miles knows her.Copy !req
491. Yes. Could we move on
to the Syrah, please?Copy !req
492. Champing at the bit?Copy !req
493. Sure.Copy !req
494. This is our estate Syrah.Copy !req
495. You are a bad, bad girl, Stephanie.Copy !req
496. I know. I need to be spanked.Copy !req
497. Excuse me.Copy !req
498. The Syrah?Copy !req
499. Hey. Hey. Get the trunk.Copy !req
500. - You have the keys.
- I do?Copy !req
501. - Yeah.
- In my pocket.Copy !req
502. - So, we're on.
- What?Copy !req
503. Yeah. She called Maya, who's not working
tonight. So we're all going out.Copy !req
504. - Wi... With Maya?
- Yeah.Copy !req
505. She's been divorced a year now, buddy.Copy !req
506. This chick Stephanie?Copy !req
507. She's got it all goin' on.Copy !req
508. Well, she is cute, yeah.Copy !req
509. Cute? She's a fuckin' hottie.Copy !req
510. And you almost tell her that I'm gettin' married?
What's the matter with you?Copy !req
511. - Nice?
- It's beautiful.Copy !req
512. Yeah. Victoria and I
used to like this view.Copy !req
513. You know,
once we had a picnic here...Copy !req
514. and we drank a '95 Opus One.Copy !req
515. With smoked salmon and artichokes.
But we didn't care.Copy !req
516. Oh, man, she has the best palate
of any woman I have ever known.Copy !req
517. She can even differentiate
all different kinds of Italian wines.Copy !req
518. Miles, there's something I gotta tell you.Copy !req
519. Victoria's coming to the wedding.Copy !req
520. Yeah, I know. You told me.
I'm all right with it.Copy !req
521. Yeah, but that's not the whole story.Copy !req
522. She got remarried.Copy !req
523. She what?Copy !req
524. When?Copy !req
525. About a month ago.Copy !req
526. Maybe six weeks.Copy !req
527. To that guy...
that guy with the restaurant?Copy !req
528. Miles?Copy !req
529. Miles.Copy !req
530. I'd like to go home now.Copy !req
531. Miles, get out of the car.Copy !req
532. Would you drive me
back to the motel, please?Copy !req
533. You know...Copy !req
534. She bringing him to the wedding?Copy !req
535. What do you think?Copy !req
536. Why didn't you tell me
about this before, Jack?Copy !req
537. Because I knew you'd get so freaked out
that you wouldn't even come on this trip.Copy !req
538. But then I thought,
this is the perfect place to tell you.Copy !req
539. We're here to forget about all that shit.
We're here to party, man.Copy !req
540. I'm gonna be a fucking pariah.Copy !req
541. Persona non grata.Copy !req
542. Everybody's gonna be holding their breath,
waiting to see if I get drunk and make a scene.Copy !req
543. No, no. No. Look.Copy !req
544. I talked to Victoria. Okay?Copy !req
545. I talked to Victoria. Okay?Copy !req
546. She's cool. Everybody's cool.Copy !req
547. I'm sorry. You've been talking...Copy !req
548. Behind my back...Copy !req
549. you've been talking about it?Copy !req
550. What are you doing?Copy !req
551. Come back here.Copy !req
552. Miles!Copy !req
553. - Come here. Give me that bottle.
- Back off, Jack.Copy !req
554. - Come on...
- Back off, man!Copy !req
555. - Give me that bottle.
- No.Copy !req
556. Miles.Copy !req
557. Miles!Copy !req
558. A lot of people
out there think they can make it.Copy !req
559. What better thing in life is to chase the
dream and not be afraid of going after it?Copy !req
560. James Lepp next to play.
Chance for a birdie and a five-shot lead.Copy !req
561. I'm gonna go for a swim,
get the blood flowing. You wanna come?Copy !req
562. No. I wanna watch this.Copy !req
563. Okay.Copy !req
564. Should start this ball one or two inches
outside the left edge.Copy !req
565. Go in.Copy !req
566. - Great putt.
- Absolutely. Great speed.Copy !req
567. Miles.Copy !req
568. Miles.Copy !req
569. Oh, Miles. Time to get up.Copy !req
570. This fuckin' chick in theJacuzzi...Copy !req
571. Oh, dude!Copy !req
572. This place is wide open.
I'm goin' fuckin' nuts up here, man.Copy !req
573. - Hey, what should I wear?
- I don't know.Copy !req
574. Something casual, but nice.
They think you're a writer.Copy !req
575. Right. Okay.Copy !req
576. Do you have any other shoes?Copy !req
577. Hey, honey.Copy !req
578. Yeah, I was just calling to check in.Copy !req
579. Miles and I are getting ready
to go to dinner.Copy !req
580. Probably stay out late, so I just thought
I'd call and say good night now.Copy !req
581. Yeah. I miss you too.Copy !req
582. Yeah. I love you too.Copy !req
583. Just try to be your normal,
humorous self. Okay?Copy !req
584. The guy you were before the tailspin.
Do you remember that guy?Copy !req
585. People love that guy.Copy !req
586. And don't forget...
your novel is coming out in the fall.Copy !req
587. Oh. Really? How exciting.
What's it called?Copy !req
588. Come here, Miles. Come here.Copy !req
589. Do not sabotage me.Copy !req
590. If you wanna be a fuckin' lightweight,
then that's your call.Copy !req
591. - But do not sabotage me.
- Oh, aye, aye, cap'n. You got it.Copy !req
592. And if they wanna drink merlot,
we're drinkin' merlot.Copy !req
593. If anybody orders merlot, I'm leaving.
I am not drinking any fucking merlot!Copy !req
594. Okay, okay. Relax, Miles.Copy !req
595. Jesus. No merlot.Copy !req
596. Did you bring your Xanax?Copy !req
597. All right.Copy !req
598. Come here.Copy !req
599. Do not drink too much.
Do you hear me?Copy !req
600. I don't want you passing out
or going to the dark side.Copy !req
601. - No going to the dark side!
- Okay!Copy !req
602. Hi. Just looking for some friends.Copy !req
603. Good evening, ladies.
How are you?Copy !req
604. - Hi, Miles.
- Good. How are you?Copy !req
605. Hello, Maya.Copy !req
606. - You look gorgeous. You both do.
- Thank you.Copy !req
607. - You're not so bad yourself.
- Thanks. Thanks.Copy !req
608. So, what's good here?Copy !req
609. - What is this you're drinking?
- Oh, this is the Fiddlehead sauvignon blanc.Copy !req
610. - I see. Is it good?
- Try it.Copy !req
611. - What time did you close up at Ka... Is it...
- Kalyra.Copy !req
612. - Kalyra.
- I actually got out of there pretty good, around 5:30, 6:00.Copy !req
613. - Still had some stuff to do.
- Miles and I, we were...Copy !req
614. - That's nice.
- It's aged 12 months in oak.Copy !req
615. - French oak.
- Sauvignon blanc?Copy !req
616. Interesting. It's good.Copy !req
617. I know the winemaker.
She comes into the restaurant all the time.Copy !req
618. - What do you have to do to close up?
- I close up the register.Copy !req
619. Clean up, put some stuff away.
Then put the glasses out for the next day.Copy !req
620. - Right.
- Just... small stuff.Copy !req
621. Hints of clove.Copy !req
622. - Right?
- Yes! I know. I love that.Copy !req
623. Yeah.Copy !req
624. Sorry. It's good.Copy !req
625. - No, no. We'll get you a glass.
- Now we're thinking.Copy !req
626. Good. Okay.Copy !req
627. Oh, that's... that...Copy !req
628. Oh, he can say it,
and it's not disgusting?Copy !req
629. I didn't hear him say that.Copy !req
630. - Whenever I say something he said...
- Very good.Copy !req
631. No, actually... No. That one.
N-Not this one...Copy !req
632. I'm having that too.Copy !req
633. - Right?
- Oh, yes.Copy !req
634. That's what I'm saying.Copy !req
635. For our soup we have corn chowder...Copy !req
636. and for our entrees we have medallions
of pork dusted with black truffles...Copy !req
637. served with a root vegetable foulon
and wasabi whipped potatoes.Copy !req
638. And finally...Copy !req
639. - I have to explain my credentials.
- Yes.!Copy !req
640. Miles, what does this remind you of?Copy !req
641. "Red wine. Red wine."Copy !req
642. He was brought up on a lot of charges.Copy !req
643. - Yeah?
- I mean, with the yellow light.Copy !req
644. Right.Copy !req
645. After all, tonight
we are celebrating Miles's book deal.Copy !req
646. Published author.Copy !req
647. Miles.!Copy !req
648. Well, in that case...Copy !req
649. And then they think you have no idea.
You have no control over it.Copy !req
650. Ancient way of treating the grape.Copy !req
651. Now it's a modern way
of treating the grape.Copy !req
652. It's a traditional way of dealing with wine.
It's a controversial way.Copy !req
653. So everyone's going back to that.Copy !req
654. It's just that there's
a certain constant lapping.Copy !req
655. It's not a... It's a fishing lake.Copy !req
656. Your lips look soft.Copy !req
657. - The whole area is...
- Oh, no. You mean, like, what it was used for?Copy !req
658. What do they call the...Copy !req
659. Malibu... It's Malibu Canyon.Copy !req
660. I don't know what the hell
I'm trying to say.Copy !req
661. Hello?Copy !req
662. Victoria?Copy !req
663. Miles?Copy !req
664. Well, well, well, well, well.
Victoria. How the hell are ya?Copy !req
665. What... What's on your mind?Copy !req
666. Oh, nothin'. I...Copy !req
667. Just heard that you got remarried.Copy !req
668. Congratulations. I...Copy !req
669. Boy, I didn't think you had the stomach
for another go-around.Copy !req
670. Oh, Miles, you're drunk.Copy !req
671. Oh, just a little local pinot,
you know.Copy !req
672. A little burgundy. That
old Cotes de Beaune.Copy !req
673. - Where are you?
- A little place in Los Olivos.Copy !req
674. New owners. Cozy ambience...Copy !req
675. Excellent food too.
You should... You should try it.Copy !req
676. I thought of you at the
Hitching Post last night.Copy !req
677. Hello?Copy !req
678. - Miles, don't call me when you're drunk.
- No, it's...Copy !req
679. All right, I just...
I wanted to let you know...Copy !req
680. that I have decided
not to come to the wedding...Copy !req
681. so just in case you were dreading some sort of,
you know, run-in or something like that...Copy !req
682. well, you worry no more...Copy !req
683. because I'm not gonna be there.Copy !req
684. It's my little wedding gift
to you and what's-his-name.Copy !req
685. What is his name?Copy !req
686. Ken.Copy !req
687. Ken! Right.Copy !req
688. Ken.Copy !req
689. I'm gonna hang up now, Miles.Copy !req
690. No... You know, it's just...
I-I-I heard about this...Copy !req
691. for the first time today.Copy !req
692. Your getting remarried, that is.Copy !req
693. And I was kind of taken aback.Copy !req
694. Just... hard to believe.Copy !req
695. I guess I thought maybe
there was still a chance...Copy !req
696. for us somewhere down the road.Copy !req
697. And I just...Copy !req
698. Miles.Copy !req
699. Maybe it is better
if you don't come to the wedding.Copy !req
700. All righty, Vicki. Whatever you say.Copy !req
701. You're the boss.Copy !req
702. I don't know.Copy !req
703. Welcome back.Copy !req
704. Take it easy.Copy !req
705. - Are you okay, Miles?
- Yes. I'm fine.Copy !req
706. Thank you.Copy !req
707. - Excuse us, gentlemen.
- Excuse us.Copy !req
708. Sure.Copy !req
709. All right.Copy !req
710. Yeah. Don't take too long.Copy !req
711. - All right.
- Okay. Bye, girls.Copy !req
712. What the fuck?
What is up with you?Copy !req
713. - You remember our little talk outside?
- Yeah...Copy !req
714. - Get your shit together, Miles.
- I'm fine. I'm fine.Copy !req
715. Where were you?Copy !req
716. Bathroom.Copy !req
717. Did you drink and dial?Copy !req
718. - No.
- Why do you always have to do this?Copy !req
719. Victoria is gone. Gone.Copy !req
720. Poof! In the wind.Copy !req
721. I mean, you are blowing a great
opportunity here with Maya.Copy !req
722. Maya... Fuckin' Maya... She's great!Copy !req
723. She's cool, she's funny, she knows wine.Copy !req
724. What is this morose, come-down bullshit?Copy !req
725. These girls wanna party with us.Copy !req
726. And what was that 10-minute lecture
on, what, Vouvrays?Copy !req
727. Are you kidding me?
Who gives a fuck?Copy !req
728. Let's just say that I'm uncomfortable
with the whole scenario.Copy !req
729. Have you forgotten all the bad times
you had with Victoria...Copy !req
730. how small she could make you feel?Copy !req
731. Isn't that why you had the affair
with Brenda in the first place?Copy !req
732. Shut up. Shut your face. Shut up.Copy !req
733. Have you even noticed
how Maya's looking at you?Copy !req
734. Now, come on, man.
You've got her on the hook.Copy !req
735. Reel her in.
Let's ratchet this up a notch.Copy !req
736. Here. Drink some agua fria.Copy !req
737. Hey!Copy !req
738. Hey!Copy !req
739. Well, so
shall we get some dessert?Copy !req
740. Well, we were thinking
why don't we go back to my place?Copy !req
741. I've got wine, some insane cheeses,
music, whatever.Copy !req
742. Yeah!Copy !req
743. Waiter!Copy !req
744. Come here.Copy !req
745. One for you, three for me.Copy !req
746. You sure you wanna do this?Copy !req
747. - We're here!
- Hey.!Copy !req
748. - Hey!
- Where were you guys?Copy !req
749. Oh, we took a couple of wrong turns,
thanks to Magellan here.Copy !req
750. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
751. - Oh, Miles.
- Yeah?Copy !req
752. - Maya's in the back, just past the kitchen.
- Okay.Copy !req
753. Thanks.Copy !req
754. Hi.Copy !req
755. Hey.Copy !req
756. - Oh, has she got anything good?
- Oh, yeah.Copy !req
757. Steph's way into pinots and Syrahs.Copy !req
758. - Hey, Steph!
- Yeah?Copy !req
759. - Can we really open anything we want?
- Yeah, yeah. Anything.Copy !req
760. Except the Richebourg.Copy !req
761. Richebourg? She has a Richebourg?
Holy mackerel.Copy !req
762. I've completely
underestimated Stephanie.Copy !req
763. Oh, good Lord. Look at that.Copy !req
764. I think... this guy's more our speed.Copy !req
765. Andrew Murray.Copy !req
766. Well, okay. All right.Copy !req
767. So, what gems do you have
in your collection?Copy !req
768. Oh, it's really not much
of a collection, you know.Copy !req
769. I mean, more like a small gathering
in a cabinet.Copy !req
770. No, I've never really had
the wallet for that.Copy !req
771. I just have to live bottle to bottle.Copy !req
772. I've got things I'm saving, definitely.Copy !req
773. I guess the star would be
a 1961 Cheval Blanc.Copy !req
774. You've got a '61 Cheval Blanc,
and it's just sitting there?Copy !req
775. - Yes, I do.
- Go get it.Copy !req
776. - Okay.
- I'm serious! Hurry!Copy !req
777. All right. I would, I would.Copy !req
778. The '61 s are peaking right now, aren't they?
That's what I've read.Copy !req
779. No, that's right, yeah.Copy !req
780. It might be too late already.
What are you waiting for?Copy !req
781. Oh, I don't know.
A special occasion with the right person.Copy !req
782. It was supposed to be for
my 10th wedding anniversary, but...Copy !req
783. You know, the day you open
a '61 Cheval Blanc...Copy !req
784. that's the special occasion.Copy !req
785. So how long
have you been into wine?Copy !req
786. I got serious about seven years ago.Copy !req
787. - And what was the bottle that did it?
- '88 Sassicaia.Copy !req
788. Well, congratulations.Copy !req
789. - Yeah.
- That's very good.Copy !req
790. - Well...
- That would do it. Yeah.Copy !req
791. Oh, wow, that's nice.
That's very good.Copy !req
792. We need to give it a minute,
but that's really tasty.Copy !req
793. How about you?Copy !req
794. I think they overdid it a little.Copy !req
795. Too much alcohol.
It overwhelms the fruit.Copy !req
796. Yeah. Yeah.Copy !req
797. I'd say you're right on the money.Copy !req
798. Very good. Nice.Copy !req
799. Thank you.Copy !req
800. Is that Stephanie's kid?Copy !req
801. Oh. Yeah. That's Siena.Copy !req
802. - Oh, she's a sweetie.
- Cute. Cute.Copy !req
803. Where is she?Copy !req
804. She's at her grandmother's.Copy !req
805. Steph's mom.
She spends a lot of time over there.Copy !req
806. You got kids?Copy !req
807. Me? No. No.Copy !req
808. No, I'd just fuck 'em up.Copy !req
809. No, that was the one unpolluted part
of my divorce... no kids.Copy !req
810. Yeah. Same here.Copy !req
811. Good.Copy !req
812. Let's go in there.Copy !req
813. Now, for a low, low
4.8% A.P.R. financing...Copy !req
814. Looks like our friends
are really hitting it off.Copy !req
815. Yeah, I would say that.Copy !req
816. Yeah.Copy !req
817. So, what's your novel about?Copy !req
818. What's my... Oh, brother.Copy !req
819. Well, it's...
it's difficult to summarize.Copy !req
820. It starts out as a kind of
first-person narrative...Copy !req
821. about a guy taking care
of his father after a stroke.Copy !req
822. It's kind of based on personal experience.Copy !req
823. But only... only loosely.Copy !req
824. What's the title?Copy !req
825. The Day After Yesterday.Copy !req
826. Oh. You mean today.Copy !req
827. Yeah. I mean, right. But it's more...Copy !req
828. So it's about, like,
death and mortality, or...Copy !req
829. Yeah...Copy !req
830. Y... Not really.Copy !req
831. I... It de... It jumps around a lot.Copy !req
832. That's what it's about, in a way.
You know what I mean?Copy !req
833. You start to see everything
from the point of view of the father.Copy !req
834. And a lot of other things happen...
parallel narratives.Copy !req
835. It's kind of a mess.Copy !req
836. And then, eventually,
the whole thing sort of evolves...Copy !req
837. or devolves...Copy !req
838. into this sort of
Robbe-Grillet mystery.Copy !req
839. You know?Copy !req
840. But no real resolution.Copy !req
841. ItCopy !req
842. Well, I think it's really great
you're getting it published.Copy !req
843. Really. I mean, I know how hard it is
just to write it, even.Copy !req
844. Yeah.Copy !req
845. I mean, like me, I've got this paper
due on Friday...Copy !req
846. and I'm freaked out about it,
just like in high school.Copy !req
847. - A paper?
- Yeah.Copy !req
848. I'm going for a master's degree
in horticulture.Copy !req
849. Sorta chipping away on it.Copy !req
850. Horticulture? Really?Copy !req
851. I didn't even know
that there was a college here.Copy !req
852. Well, I commute to San Luis Obispo
twice a week.Copy !req
853. Horticulture?Copy !req
854. So, do you want to work
in a winery or something?Copy !req
855. Maybe.Copy !req
856. So, when can I read your book?Copy !req
857. Well, I... You know, I... Well, I do happen
to have a manuscript in my car.Copy !req
858. It's not proofed or anything...Copy !req
859. so it's... it's full of typos.Copy !req
860. - If you don't mind typos...
- Oh, no. Who cares?Copy !req
861. I'm the queen of typos.Copy !req
862. Okay.Copy !req
863. You know, can I ask you
a personal question, Miles?Copy !req
864. Sure.Copy !req
865. Why are you so into pinot?Copy !req
866. I mean, it's like a thing with you.Copy !req
867. I don't know. I don't know.Copy !req
868. It's a hard grape to grow.Copy !req
869. As you know. Right?Copy !req
870. It's... It's thin-skinned...Copy !req
871. temperamental, ripens early.Copy !req
872. It's... You know, it's not a survivor...Copy !req
873. like cabernet...Copy !req
874. which can just grow anywhere...Copy !req
875. and thrive even when it's neglected.Copy !req
876. No, pinot needs constant care
and attention. You know?Copy !req
877. And, in fact, it can only grow...Copy !req
878. in these really specific,
little tucked-away corners of the world.Copy !req
879. And... And only...Copy !req
880. the most patient
and nurturing of growers...Copy !req
881. can do it, really.Copy !req
882. Only somebody
who really takes the time...Copy !req
883. to understand pinot's potential...Copy !req
884. can then coax it
into its fullest expression.Copy !req
885. And then? I mean...Copy !req
886. Oh, its flavors, they're just
the most haunting and brilliant...Copy !req
887. and thrilling and subtle and...Copy !req
888. ancient on the planet.Copy !req
889. No, I mean, you know, cabernets
can be powerful and exalting too...Copy !req
890. but they seem prosaic to me,
for some reason, by comparison.Copy !req
891. I don't know. I don't know.Copy !req
892. What about you?Copy !req
893. What about me?Copy !req
894. I don't know.
Why are you into wine?Copy !req
895. Oh, I... I think I...Copy !req
896. I originally got into wine
through my ex-husband.Copy !req
897. You know, he had this big
sort of show-off cellar.Copy !req
898. - You know?
- Right.Copy !req
899. But then I discovered that
I had a really sharp palate.Copy !req
900. And the more I drank...Copy !req
901. the more I liked
what it made me think about.Copy !req
902. Like what?Copy !req
903. Like what a fraud he was.Copy !req
904. No, I mean, I like to think
about the life of wine.Copy !req
905. Yeah.Copy !req
906. How it's a living thing.Copy !req
907. I like to think about...Copy !req
908. what was going on the year
the grapes were growing...Copy !req
909. how the sun was shining...Copy !req
910. if it rained.Copy !req
911. I like to think about...Copy !req
912. all the people who tended
and picked the grapes...Copy !req
913. and, if it's an old wine,
how many of them must be dead by now.Copy !req
914. I like how wine continues to evolve.Copy !req
915. Like,
if I opened a bottle of wine today...Copy !req
916. it would taste different than if
I'd opened it on any other day.Copy !req
917. Because a bottle of wine
is actually alive...Copy !req
918. and it's constantly evolving
and gaining complexity.Copy !req
919. That is, until it peaks...Copy !req
920. like your '61.Copy !req
921. And then it begins its steady...Copy !req
922. inevitable decline.Copy !req
923. And it tastes so fucking good.Copy !req
924. Yeah.Copy !req
925. But you know, I... I...Copy !req
926. I like other wines besides pinot too.Copy !req
927. I mean, lately
I've been really into Rieslings.Copy !req
928. You like Rieslings? Rieslings?Copy !req
929. There's a bathroom in the back?Copy !req
930. - Yeah. It's through the kitchen.
- I'll be right back.Copy !req
931. God, you are such a fuckin' loser.Copy !req
932. You make me so fuckin' sick.Copy !req
933. Oh, God. Come on.Copy !req
934. Hi.Copy !req
935. - I was just getting some water.
- Okay.Copy !req
936. - You want some water?
- No.Copy !req
937. Okay. It's getting kind of late.Copy !req
938. I should really go.Copy !req
939. So you know how to get to the Windmill?
Two rights and a left.Copy !req
940. - Got it.
- Okay.Copy !req
941. I had a nice time tonight, Miles.
I really did.Copy !req
942. Good. So did I.Copy !req
943. Okay. Well, I'll see you around then.Copy !req
944. Did you still want to read my novel?Copy !req
945. Oh, yeah. Of course.Copy !req
946. Yeah.Copy !req
947. - Great.
- Just a sec.Copy !req
948. - Here.
- Oh, wow.Copy !req
949. Well, I hope you like it.Copy !req
950. And feel free to stop reading it any time.
I will not be offended.Copy !req
951. Okay.Copy !req
952. - Well, good night, Miles.
- Good night.Copy !req
953. Oh, fuck.Copy !req
954. Oh, fuck.Copy !req
955. That fucking chick is unbelievable, dude.
Unbelievable!Copy !req
956. Boy.Copy !req
957. She is nasty, Miles.Copy !req
958. Nasty, nasty, nasty.!Copy !req
959. - Well, I'm glad you got it out of your system.
- Yeah, baby.Copy !req
960. Congratulations.
Mission accomplished.Copy !req
961. Oh, hi, Miles!Copy !req
962. Hi.Copy !req
963. Hey, you didn't invite Stephanie
to come with us, did you?Copy !req
964. Oh, listen, man. Change of plans.Copy !req
965. Stephanie's off today, so, you know,
I'm thinkin' about goin' on a hike.Copy !req
966. We were supposed to play golf.Copy !req
967. You know what? You go, man.
You go. In fact, use my clubs.Copy !req
968. They're brand-new.
They were a gift from Christine's dad.Copy !req
969. Here, I'll pay for it. Right there.Copy !req
970. And then later, the three of us,
we can go to The Hitching Post.Copy !req
971. We could sit at one of Maya's tables.Copy !req
972. She'll bring us some great wine,
you know?Copy !req
973. - Then the four of us will do something.
- No. Count me out.Copy !req
974. Oh, I see.Copy !req
975. Didn't go so great last night?
What a shocker.Copy !req
976. You mean getting drunk and calling
Victoria didn't put you in the mood?Copy !req
977. Dumb fuck.Copy !req
978. - Later, man.
- Yeah, well, maybe you should check your messages first.Copy !req
979. Oh, boy.Copy !req
980. Yeah, she's been leaving
messages here too.Copy !req
981. Yeah. Okay.Copy !req
982. - You should call her.
- I will. I'll see you.Copy !req
983. - Right now!
- Okay. Fuck!Copy !req
984. - What are you, my mom?
- Well.Copy !req
985. Would you mind waiting outside?Copy !req
986. - That was fun last night.
- Yeah. Good food.Copy !req
987. Hey, I-I talked to Maya this morning.
She said she had a fun time too.Copy !req
988. You should call her.Copy !req
989. - Where's Jack?
- Had to make a phone call.Copy !req
990. Miles. Miles.Copy !req
991. Hey, man do you have
that other condom?Copy !req
992. In my jacket.Copy !req
993. What did Christine say?Copy !req
994. Lucked out. Got voice mail.
Everything's cool.Copy !req
995. - Ha, ha.! Here I am.
- Hi.!Copy !req
996. - Ready?
- Yeah.Copy !req
997. Cannonball!Copy !req
998. Please dial your password and press pound.Copy !req
999. You have no messages at this time.Copy !req
1000. To send a message, press 2...Copy !req
1001. Not now. Not now!Copy !req
1002. Yeah.Copy !req
1003. Hey, there you are.Copy !req
1004. - Yup.
- Hey, man.Copy !req
1005. What are you drinking?Copy !req
1006. Is it any good?Copy !req
1007. Can... Can I get a glass, please?Copy !req
1008. Thanks.Copy !req
1009. Stephanie took me out
to the pinot fields today, Miles.Copy !req
1010. God, it was so awesome.Copy !req
1011. I think I'm really starting to get
a handle on the whole process.Copy !req
1012. The soil to the vine, and the...
what do you call it?Copy !req
1013. The selection to the harvest.Copy !req
1014. Then that thing they do with
the big containers where they mix it?Copy !req
1015. It's really neat, the whole thing.Copy !req
1016. Then we ate pinot grapes
right off the vine.Copy !req
1017. They were a little sour...Copy !req
1018. but showing excellent potential
for structure...Copy !req
1019. down the line, I think.Copy !req
1020. Stephanie, man.
She really knows her shit.Copy !req
1021. Where is Stephanie?Copy !req
1022. She's upstairs cleaning up.Copy !req
1023. What the fuck are you doing?Copy !req
1024. - What?
- With this chick.Copy !req
1025. What?Copy !req
1026. Does she know about Saturday?Copy !req
1027. Well, not exactly.
I've been honest with her.Copy !req
1028. I haven't told her I'm available.Copy !req
1029. She knows this trip
is only for a few days.Copy !req
1030. Besides, I just...Copy !req
1031. - Besides what?
- I'm... Well, you know...Copy !req
1032. - The wedding.
- What?Copy !req
1033. I... I've just been doing
some thinking about it.Copy !req
1034. Oh, you've been thinking. And?Copy !req
1035. Might have to put
the wedding on hold, is all.Copy !req
1036. Look, I know that
that could be tricky...Copy !req
1037. - for certain people to accept at first.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1038. All right?
But life is short, Miles.Copy !req
1039. I have to be sure I'm doing the right thing
before taking such a big step.Copy !req
1040. You know what?
That's not just for my sake.Copy !req
1041. I'm looking out
for Christine's feelings too.Copy !req
1042. I mean, being with Stephanie
has completely opened my eyes.Copy !req
1043. She's not uptight or controlling.
She's just cool.Copy !req
1044. I mean, she smells different,
she tastes different.Copy !req
1045. - She fucks different.
- Okay.Copy !req
1046. She fucks like an animal.Copy !req
1047. I gotta tell you, man.Copy !req
1048. I went deep last night.Copy !req
1049. Deep.Copy !req
1050. Deep.Copy !req
1051. I thought I'd get a little understanding
from you, but I'm not gonna get that.Copy !req
1052. Understanding about what, Jack?Copy !req
1053. I might be in love with another woman.Copy !req
1054. In love? Really?Copy !req
1055. Twenty-four hours with some wine-pourer
chick, and you're fuckin' in love.Copy !req
1056. Come on! And you're gonna
give up everything?Copy !req
1057. Here's what I'm thinkin'.Copy !req
1058. You and me, we move up here,
we buy a vineyard.Copy !req
1059. You design the wine.
I'll handle the business side.Copy !req
1060. You get inspired, maybe write
another novel, one that can sell.Copy !req
1061. Oh, my God. No, no.Copy !req
1062. As for me, if an audition comes up,
L.A.'s right there, man.Copy !req
1063. - It's two hours away. Not even.
- Jesus Christ. You're crazy.Copy !req
1064. You've gone crazy.Copy !req
1065. All I know is that I'm an actor.Copy !req
1066. All I have is my instinct.Copy !req
1067. You're asking me to go against it.Copy !req
1068. Hi, guys.!Copy !req
1069. Hi. Hi.Copy !req
1070. - We should probably get going.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1071. Where?Copy !req
1072. I know where all the drivers go.Copy !req
1073. All right. Here comes the tricky part.
There you go. Nice.Copy !req
1074. Nice. Okay, it's the bridge.Copy !req
1075. Golden Gate Bridge. There you go.Copy !req
1076. You know, it's a thing... I mean,
I've gotten over it. You know what I mean?Copy !req
1077. Stephanie's heard
this a thousand times...Copy !req
1078. but if I'd bought up in Santa Maria
when I had a chance...Copy !req
1079. I would've made a fortune
when they put in that...Copy !req
1080. - Home Depot.
- Home Depot.Copy !req
1081. And those stores.
And your father knew about it too.Copy !req
1082. He's such a fuckin' chickenshit.Copy !req
1083. Always was.
Just a fuckin'chickenshit.Copy !req
1084. Just too scared.Copy !req
1085. - Is this bothering you? You sure?
- It's fine. Yeah.Copy !req
1086. Hey, man. I'm gonna just make sure
that Siena and Stephanie get home safe.Copy !req
1087. - Okay.
- All right. Maybe we'll hook up with you later.Copy !req
1088. Sure. Whatever. Maybe I'll
go catch a movie or something.Copy !req
1089. - See you later, Miles.
- Thanks, Stephanie. See you.Copy !req
1090. - Bye, Siena.
- Bye.Copy !req
1091. - Caryl, very nice meeting you.
- I loved talking with you.Copy !req
1092. - Thanks.
- If you go out later, call me on my cell.Copy !req
1093. Okay!Copy !req
1094. - Okay. That's it?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1095. Actually, could I get a...
a Barely Legal, please?Copy !req
1096. Thank you. No, actually...
Sorry. The new one.Copy !req
1097. Okay.Copy !req
1098. Thanks.Copy !req
1099. What...Copy !req
1100. - Hey, Miles. How's it hanging?
- Hey.Copy !req
1101. Oh, you know me. I love it up here.Copy !req
1102. - How 'bout you?
- Busy for a Tuesday night.Copy !req
1103. We had a busload of old folks
on a wine tour.Copy !req
1104. Usually they're not too rowdy,
but tonight something was going on.Copy !req
1105. I don't know. A full moon or something.
Anyway, what can I get you?Copy !req
1106. - Highliner.
- Glass or bottle?Copy !req
1107. - Bottle.
- You got it.Copy !req
1108. Say, is Maya working?Copy !req
1109. Maya? No, I haven't seen her.Copy !req
1110. I think she's off tonight.Copy !req
1111. - You okay, Miles?
- Yeah, I'm good.Copy !req
1112. Crap.Copy !req
1113. - Did you ever get ahold of Maya yesterday?
- Nope.Copy !req
1114. No.Copy !req
1115. She really likes you, man.
Stephanie'll tell you.Copy !req
1116. - Could you just give me a little room? Please?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1117. Thank you.Copy !req
1118. In life, you gotta strike
while the iron's hot. Iron is hot.Copy !req
1119. Sage advice, Jack.Copy !req
1120. Now, remember, sit back on your heels.Copy !req
1121. All right?
Turn through the abdomen.Copy !req
1122. Abdomen.Copy !req
1123. - Oh, for cryin'...
- Nice.Copy !req
1124. What about your agent?
You hear anything yet?Copy !req
1125. - Nope.
- What do you think's going on?Copy !req
1126. - Could be anything.
- You been checking your messages?Copy !req
1127. Obsessively.Copy !req
1128. Guess I'll just have to learn to kiss off
another three years of my life.Copy !req
1129. But you haven't heard anything yet...Copy !req
1130. so don't you think your negativity's
a little premature?Copy !req
1131. All right. You know,
fuck the New York publishers.Copy !req
1132. Publish it yourself, Miles.
I'll chip in.Copy !req
1133. Just get it out there.
Get it reviewed.Copy !req
1134. Get it in libraries.
Let the public decide.Copy !req
1135. Don't come over the top.Copy !req
1136. - Stay still.
- Shut up.Copy !req
1137. It's all about stillness.Copy !req
1138. - Inner quiet.
- Shut up. Shut up. Shut up!Copy !req
1139. Jesus Christ, man!
What the hell is wrong with you?Copy !req
1140. Please, just shut up! Fuck!Copy !req
1141. - God.
- What's with the hostility, man?Copy !req
1142. I know you're a little frustrated
with your life right now...Copy !req
1143. but you can choose to be less hostile.Copy !req
1144. The fucker hit into us.Copy !req
1145. Hurry it up, will ya?Copy !req
1146. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.Copy !req
1147. Hey, that's not cool, asshole!Copy !req
1148. Nice shot. Jackoffs.Copy !req
1149. - What the hell are you doing?
- Oops. Look out.Copy !req
1150. Oh. Oh, check it out.Copy !req
1151. - This is gonna be fun. This is gonna be fun.
- Go to it.Copy !req
1152. Just don't give up on Maya. Cool, smart
chicks like that require persistence.Copy !req
1153. I don't wanna talk about it, please.Copy !req
1154. All I know is that she's beautiful,
a lot of soul.Copy !req
1155. She's perfect for you.Copy !req
1156. I'm just not gonna feel good about this
week until I know you guys have hooked up.Copy !req
1157. Don't you want to feel that cozy little box
grip down on your johnson?Copy !req
1158. Hey! Mind keeping it down, buddy?Copy !req
1159. A woman finds out how I live...Copy !req
1160. that I'm not a published author,
that I'm a liar, essentially...Copy !req
1161. any interest she has
is gonna evaporate real quick.Copy !req
1162. If you don't have money at my age,
you're not even in the game anymore.Copy !req
1163. You're just a pasture animal
waiting for the abattoir.Copy !req
1164. - Abattoir. What is that?
- Slaughterhouse.Copy !req
1165. Abattoir. But you know what?Copy !req
1166. You are gonna be
a published author...Copy !req
1167. because you're gonna get the good news
this week about your book.Copy !req
1168. I know you are. I can feel it.Copy !req
1169. Stephanie.Copy !req
1170. Hey, honey. Yeah.Copy !req
1171. Yeah. Yeah.Copy !req
1172. Yeah!Copy !req
1173. - Hey.
- Hi.Copy !req
1174. Hey, Miles. I heard you stopped by
the restaurant to see me last night.Copy !req
1175. Oh, yeah. No. I mean yeah.Copy !req
1176. I stopped by for a drink.
I didn't see you.Copy !req
1177. I had class.Copy !req
1178. Well, nice to see you now.Copy !req
1179. It's good to see you too.Copy !req
1180. Syrah.Copy !req
1181. Oldest Syrah grapes
in Santa Barbara County.Copy !req
1182. Did you know that?Copy !req
1183. You didn't know that?Copy !req
1184. The pinot noir grape
has been cultivated perhaps...Copy !req
1185. since antiquity in Burgundy.Copy !req
1186. And it is precisely this ancient...Copy !req
1187. and inherited winemaking
knowledge...Copy !req
1188. that has contributed to its success.Copy !req
1189. - I was, like, 16, 17.
- Really?Copy !req
1190. Yeah. I'm gonna die!Copy !req
1191. - Oh, God. What a drag.
- Mom?Copy !req
1192. Hey. Hi.Copy !req
1193. Is it too loud?Copy !req
1194. Sorry. Oh, UncleJack
will put you back to bed.Copy !req
1195. Come here, little sister.Copy !req
1196. We'll be more quiet, okay?Copy !req
1197. - Good night. I'm sorry.
- I'm so sorry.Copy !req
1198. My favorite, as far as ice cream...Copy !req
1199. - Chunky Monkey.
- Chunky Monkey.!Copy !req
1200. - Chunky Monkey.
- Chunky Monkey.!Copy !req
1201. You guys should come by
the restaurant for lunch today.Copy !req
1202. - Great. What's the latest we can get there?
- About 2:30.Copy !req
1203. Did you hear about this Bordeaux
tasting dinner down in Santa Barbara...Copy !req
1204. on Saturday night?Copy !req
1205. It's kind of pricey,
but if you wanted to go, I'd be into it.Copy !req
1206. Why don't you just stay
for the weekend?Copy !req
1207. No, we have to get back Friday
for the rehearsal dinner.Copy !req
1208. What rehearsal dinner?Copy !req
1209. Who's getting married?Copy !req
1210. - Were you ever gonna say anything?
- Yes, of course I was.Copy !req
1211. Just now I could've told you
some story, but I didn't.Copy !req
1212. - I told you the truth. Maya!
- Don't touch me!Copy !req
1213. Just take me home.Copy !req
1214. Do you have any idea
what he's been saying to her?Copy !req
1215. - He's an actor, so it can't be good.
- Only that he loves her.Copy !req
1216. How she's the only woman that's ever
rocked his world, how he adores Siena...Copy !req
1217. how he wants to move here and get a place with
the two of them and commute when he has to.Copy !req
1218. I'm sure he believed every word of it.Copy !req
1219. Please believe me.Copy !req
1220. I was on the verge
of telling you last night, but...Copy !req
1221. But you wanted to fuck me first.Copy !req
1222. Oh, Maya. No.Copy !req
1223. Yeah.Copy !req
1224. You know, I've just spent
the last three years of my life...Copy !req
1225. trying to extricate myself from a
relationship that was full of deception...Copy !req
1226. and I'm doing just fine.Copy !req
1227. And I haven't been with anybody
since my divorce...Copy !req
1228. so this has been a big deal for me,
Maya.Copy !req
1229. Hanging out with you and...
and last night.Copy !req
1230. I really like you, Maya...Copy !req
1231. and I am notJack.Copy !req
1232. I'm... I'm...Copy !req
1233. I'm his freshman year roommate
from San Diego State.Copy !req
1234. There's my boy!Copy !req
1235. There he is.
But who's your daddy?Copy !req
1236. - Who is your daddy? Oh!
- Jack, come on.Copy !req
1237. - Let me love you.
- Let go.Copy !req
1238. Let me down, Jack.Copy !req
1239. I am so proud of you.Copy !req
1240. - Well, that's nice.
- Okay. All right. Details.Copy !req
1241. - I love details.
- No.Copy !req
1242. - What?
- Jesus. It's private.Copy !req
1243. You better tell me what happened,
or I'll tie your dick in a knot.Copy !req
1244. Let's just leave it, okay?Copy !req
1245. You didn't get any, did you?Copy !req
1246. - You're a homo.
- Yeah, right. Yup, I'm a homo.Copy !req
1247. Yeah. Yeah.Copy !req
1248. Just make up whatever you want,
and that's what happened.Copy !req
1249. Write out my gay confession,
and I'll sign it.Copy !req
1250. Okay? Just stop pushing me
all the time.Copy !req
1251. You're an infant, Jack.Copy !req
1252. - This is all a big party for you...
- Okay.Copy !req
1253. - But not for me.
- Come on.Copy !req
1254. I'm sorry, man.Copy !req
1255. Did you have trouble performing?Copy !req
1256. Yeah, that's it.Copy !req
1257. Don't answer it.Copy !req
1258. Don't answer it.Copy !req
1259. - Jack.
- Hello.Copy !req
1260. Yeah.Copy !req
1261. It's Christine.Copy !req
1262. Yeah. Yeah.Copy !req
1263. Hey, let me call you right back.Copy !req
1264. Miles and I are kinda
in the middle of something.Copy !req
1265. Nah, it's nothing serious. Just...
He's having one of his freak-outs. Yeah.Copy !req
1266. I love you too. I'll call you back.Copy !req
1267. This whole week has gone sour.
It hasn't gone the way it was supposed to.Copy !req
1268. I just want to go home.Copy !req
1269. I know what you need.Copy !req
1270. I know what you need.Copy !req
1271. How 'bout this one?
We didn't hit this one.Copy !req
1272. - Frass Canyon. It's a joke.
- You ever actually been in there?Copy !req
1273. - I don't have to.
- I say we check it out. We're right here.Copy !req
1274. It tastes like the back
of a fucking L.A. school bus.Copy !req
1275. Now, they probably didn't de-stem...Copy !req
1276. hoping for some semblance
of concentration.Copy !req
1277. Crushed it up with leaves and mice...Copy !req
1278. and then wound up with this rancid tar
and turpentine mouthwash bullshit.Copy !req
1279. Fuckin' Raid.Copy !req
1280. Tastes pretty good to me.Copy !req
1281. Look.
They have a reserve pinot.Copy !req
1282. - Let me use your phone.
- What's up?Copy !req
1283. - I can't take it anymore. I gotta call Evelyn.
- Okay.Copy !req
1284. Evelyn Berman-Silverman's office.Copy !req
1285. - Hi, Jennifer. It's Miles again.
- Oh, hi, Miles.Copy !req
1286. - Hi.
- Let me see if I can get her.Copy !req
1287. Okay.Copy !req
1288. - You're in luck. I'll put you through.
- Okay.Copy !req
1289. - Hi, Miles.
- Hi, Evelyn.Copy !req
1290. It's your favorite client.Copy !req
1291. - How's the trip?
- Oh, it's good, it's good.Copy !req
1292. You know, we're drinking
some good wines, kicking back.Copy !req
1293. - It's very nice.
- Right.Copy !req
1294. So what's happening?
There's still no word?Copy !req
1295. Well, actually, there is word.Copy !req
1296. I spoke to Keith Kurtzman
this morning.Copy !req
1297. Right. And?Copy !req
1298. And... they're passing.Copy !req
1299. Conundrum's passing.
He said they really liked it.Copy !req
1300. They really wanted to do it, but they just
couldn't figure out how to market it.Copy !req
1301. He said it was a really tough call.Copy !req
1302. Oh. Right.Copy !req
1303. I'm sorry, Miles.Copy !req
1304. So I don't know where that leaves us.Copy !req
1305. I'm not sure how much more mileage
I can get out of continuing to submit it.Copy !req
1306. I think it's one of those unfortunate cases
in the business right now...Copy !req
1307. a-a fabulous book with no home.Copy !req
1308. The whole industry's gotten gutless.Copy !req
1309. It's not about the quality
of the books anymore.Copy !req
1310. It's only about the marketing.Copy !req
1311. - Excuse me. Could I get a pour down here, please?
- Sure.Copy !req
1312. There's a special
on the Syrah by the case.Copy !req
1313. Hit me again.Copy !req
1314. Thanks.Copy !req
1315. Excuse me.
Could you just pour me a full glass?Copy !req
1316. I'll pay for it, okay?Copy !req
1317. Sir, this is a winery, not a bar.Copy !req
1318. Oh. Come on.Copy !req
1319. Just give me a full goddamn pour.Copy !req
1320. Excuse me.Copy !req
1321. Why don't you buy a bottle,
then go outside?Copy !req
1322. - What are you doing?
- I told you I need a drink, so I'm going to help myself.Copy !req
1323. - Okay, pal? What do you think?
- Put the glass down.Copy !req
1324. Let go of the fucking glass, fucker!Copy !req
1325. - That's that.
- Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Ho, buddy. Ho, buddy.Copy !req
1326. - It's okay.
- Get him out of here.Copy !req
1327. - Thanks a lot!
- It's okay. His... His mother just died.Copy !req
1328. So you'll write another one.
You've got lots of ideas, right?Copy !req
1329. No, I'm finished. I'm not a writer.Copy !req
1330. I'm a middle school English teacher.Copy !req
1331. The world doesn't give a shit
what I have to say.Copy !req
1332. I'm unnecessary.Copy !req
1333. I'm so insignificant,
I can't even kill myself.Copy !req
1334. Miles, what the hell
is that supposed to mean?Copy !req
1335. Come on, man. You know.Copy !req
1336. Hemingway, Sexton, Plath, Woolf.Copy !req
1337. You can't kill yourself
before you've even been published.Copy !req
1338. What about the guy that wrote
Confederacy Of Dunces?Copy !req
1339. He committed suicide before he
was published. Look how famous he is.Copy !req
1340. Thanks.Copy !req
1341. Just don't give up. All right?
You're gonna make it.Copy !req
1342. Half my life is over...Copy !req
1343. and I have nothing
to show for it, nothing.Copy !req
1344. I'm a thumbprint
on the window of a skyscraper.Copy !req
1345. I'm a smudge of excrement
on a tissue...Copy !req
1346. surging out to sea
with a million tons of raw sewage.Copy !req
1347. See? Right there.Copy !req
1348. Just what you just said?
That is beautiful.Copy !req
1349. "A smudge of excrement
surging out to sea."Copy !req
1350. - Yeah.
- I could never write that.Copy !req
1351. Neither could I, actually.
I think it's Bukowski.Copy !req
1352. Hey, baby.Copy !req
1353. - Look what I got for our favorite girl.
- Motherfucker!Copy !req
1354. - Jesus Christ!
- You fucking lying piece of shit!Copy !req
1355. You're getting married on Saturday?
What's with all that shit you said to me?Copy !req
1356. - Stephanie, stop!
- I can explain.!Copy !req
1357. - You said you loved me!
- I do.!Copy !req
1358. - I hope you die!
- Stop it, Stephanie!Copy !req
1359. Fuckface! You too!Copy !req
1360. Me?Copy !req
1361. - You fucking told Maya, didn't you?
- No, I did not.Copy !req
1362. No, I did not.Copy !req
1363. It must have been Gary
at The Hitching Post.Copy !req
1364. I think we mentioned it to him
the first night.Copy !req
1365. Oh, did we mention it?
You mentioned it, asshole!Copy !req
1366. I'm fucking hurting over here.Copy !req
1367. Keep it elevated.Copy !req
1368. No, I don't want anything.Copy !req
1369. It's Miles.Copy !req
1370. I had to call and tell you again...Copy !req
1371. how much I enjoyed
our time together...Copy !req
1372. and how sorry I am...Copy !req
1373. that things turned out
the way they did.Copy !req
1374. I think you're great, Maya.Copy !req
1375. I always have from the first time
that you waited on me.Copy !req
1376. And while I'm at it...Copy !req
1377. I guess maybe you
should know that my book...Copy !req
1378. is not getting published.Copy !req
1379. I thought this one had a chance,
but I was wrong again.Copy !req
1380. Once again.Copy !req
1381. So you see...Copy !req
1382. I'm not really much of a writer.Copy !req
1383. I am not much of anything, really.Copy !req
1384. I'm gonna have to have an operation,
maybe even a couple of'em.Copy !req
1385. They're gonna wait for my nose to
heal first, then they break it again.Copy !req
1386. Oh, Christ. Good thing
you have a voice-over career.Copy !req
1387. It's gonna fuck that up too.
I oughta sue her ass.Copy !req
1388. The only reason I won't
is to protect Christine.Copy !req
1389. - That's thoughtful.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1390. How did Stephanie know
it was on Saturday?Copy !req
1391. We didn't get into that with Gary.Copy !req
1392. That's... Yeah, let me think.Copy !req
1393. - You sure you didn't say anything to Maya?
- Yes, I'm sure I'm sure.Copy !req
1394. And just what are you implying, Jack?Copy !req
1395. I'm really pissed off at you about all
this, if you want to know the truth.Copy !req
1396. What is Maya going to think of me now,
just for associating with you?Copy !req
1397. I don't know. Sure seems fishy.Copy !req
1398. Well.Copy !req
1399. Wherever there's a fight
so hungry people can eat...Copy !req
1400. I'll be there.Copy !req
1401. Wherever there's a cop
beating up a guy...Copy !req
1402. I'll be there.Copy !req
1403. I'll be in the way guys yell
when they're mad.Copy !req
1404. What's this look like to you?Copy !req
1405. It looks like you were
in a bad car accident.Copy !req
1406. When the people
are eating the stuff they raised...Copy !req
1407. I'm hungry.Copy !req
1408. Here we go.Copy !req
1409. - Nice.
- Thank you.Copy !req
1410. And here is your Handi Wipes.Copy !req
1411. So that's what those are. For a minute
I thought you were promoting safe sex.Copy !req
1412. That's a good one.
I'll have to remember that one.Copy !req
1413. - I'll be right back with your corn bread.
- All righty.Copy !req
1414. Bet you that chick's two tons of fun.Copy !req
1415. You know, the grateful type?Copy !req
1416. I don't know.
I wouldn't know about that.Copy !req
1417. Here you go.Copy !req
1418. Nice technique there... Cammi.Copy !req
1419. Thank you. All in the wrist.Copy !req
1420. You know,
you look really familiar to me.Copy !req
1421. - Are you from around here?
- Actually, we're from San Diego. Why?Copy !req
1422. I don't know.
You just seemed really familiar to me.Copy !req
1423. - Never mind. Enjoy your meal.
- Hang on. Hang on.Copy !req
1424. Did you ever know
a Derek Sommersby?Copy !req
1425. Dr. Derek Sommersby
from One Life To Live?Copy !req
1426. Just have to imagine him
with a bandage and shorter hair.Copy !req
1427. No way!Copy !req
1428. No way! Oh, my gosh!Copy !req
1429. That's great.! Oh, my goodness.!Copy !req
1430. Could you tell me where
the bathroom is, please?Copy !req
1431. Oh, yeah. It's right over there,
right past the buffalo.Copy !req
1432. Oh, my gosh. I can't believe
you're sitting at my table.Copy !req
1433. Listen, man, Cammi gets off
in an hour, so I was thinking...Copy !req
1434. I'd just hang around, have a drink.Copy !req
1435. You know, make sure she gets home safe.Copy !req
1436. You're joking, right?Copy !req
1437. No.Copy !req
1438. Un-fucking-believable.Copy !req
1439. Can't we just go back to the motel
and hang out...Copy !req
1440. get up early,
play nine holes of golf...Copy !req
1441. before we head home?Copy !req
1442. Listen, man, you're my friend...Copy !req
1443. and I know you care about me.Copy !req
1444. I know you disapprove,
and I respect that.Copy !req
1445. But there are some things that I have to do
that you don't understand.Copy !req
1446. You understand literature,
movies, wine...Copy !req
1447. but you don't understand my plight.Copy !req
1448. Yeah?Copy !req
1449. - Holy shit! Jesus Christ!
- Fuck. Fuck.Copy !req
1450. God, it's fucking freezing out there!Copy !req
1451. - God, yeah.
- Vicodin. Where's the Vicodin?Copy !req
1452. Here.Copy !req
1453. Fucking chick's married, man.Copy !req
1454. What?Copy !req
1455. Her husband works the night shift, and he
comes home and catches me on the floor...Copy !req
1456. with my cock in his wife's ass.Copy !req
1457. Oh, Jesus Christ. Jesus. Jack!Copy !req
1458. - And you walked all the way from Solvang?
- No, ran.Copy !req
1459. Twisted my ankle too.Copy !req
1460. - That's five klicks, Jack.
- Fuckin'-A right, it's five klicks.Copy !req
1461. At one point I had to cut
through an ostrich farm.Copy !req
1462. Those fuckers are mean.Copy !req
1463. We gotta go back.Copy !req
1464. What?Copy !req
1465. We gotta go back. I left my wallet.Copy !req
1466. Credit cards, cash, my fucking I.D.Copy !req
1467. - Everything. We gotta go back.
- Big deal. It's fine.Copy !req
1468. Don't worry about it. We'll call now
and we'll cancel your cards.Copy !req
1469. No, Miles, you don't understand.
The wedding rings.Copy !req
1470. The wedding rings are in my wallet.Copy !req
1471. Fine, they're in your wallet, and you
left your wallet in some bar, okay?Copy !req
1472. - Christine will understand.
- She had to order them special.Copy !req
1473. It took her forever to find 'em.Copy !req
1474. They've got this design of dolphins
and our names engraved in Sanskrit.Copy !req
1475. We gotta go back, man.
Christine will fucking crucify me, Miles.Copy !req
1476. No way, no way, no way.Copy !req
1477. Please. Please!Copy !req
1478. Forget it.
Your wallet was stolen in some bar.Copy !req
1479. - It happens every day.
- No, we gotta go back and get my wallet, Miles.Copy !req
1480. I'm telling you,
those rings are irreplaceable.Copy !req
1481. Look, I know I fucked up, okay?
I know I fucked up.Copy !req
1482. - But you've gotta help me.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1483. You've gotta help me, Miles,
please.! Please.!Copy !req
1484. I can't lose Christine, Miles.Copy !req
1485. I just... I can't.
I can't lose Christine.Copy !req
1486. I know I fucked up.Copy !req
1487. I know I did a bad thing, all right?
And I know I'm a bad person.Copy !req
1488. I know I am. But you gotta help me!
You have to help me, Miles.Copy !req
1489. Okay? Tell me you'll help me.Copy !req
1490. If I lose Christine, I-I-I...Copy !req
1491. I'm nothing.Copy !req
1492. I just have... I'm nothing.Copy !req
1493. God.Copy !req
1494. - Did she tell you she was married?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1495. So what the fuck were you thinking?Copy !req
1496. Wasn't supposed to be back till 6:00.
Fucker rolls in at 5:00.Copy !req
1497. Cutting it a little close, don't you think?Copy !req
1498. - This is the block.
- You sure?Copy !req
1499. Yeah.Copy !req
1500. That's it. That's it.Copy !req
1501. That's the one right there.Copy !req
1502. - Yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1503. Okay.Copy !req
1504. All right.
Okay, so what's the plan?Copy !req
1505. The plan is...Copy !req
1506. you go.Copy !req
1507. - Me?
- 'Cause of my ankle.Copy !req
1508. Still hurts. Just go explain
the situation, Miles.Copy !req
1509. Explain the situation. Yes.Copy !req
1510. "Excuse me, sir. My friend was the one
balling your wife a couple of hours ago.Copy !req
1511. "Really sorry. He seems to
have left his wallet behind.Copy !req
1512. I was wondering if I could come in
and just poke around. I don't know."Copy !req
1513. - Yeah, just like that. That's good.
- Oh, for Christ's sake.Copy !req
1514. Oh, fuck it! I'll go.
I guess I have to do everything.Copy !req
1515. No. Hold on.Copy !req
1516. You think I don't fuck you, bitch?
I'm fucking you now.Copy !req
1517. I'm a bad girl. I'm a bad girl.!Copy !req
1518. You picked him up and you fucked him,
didn't you, bitch?Copy !req
1519. Yeah, I picked him up and I fucked him.

1531. that was really happening

invite Maya to the wedding.Copy !req
1541. Somehow I think
inviting Maya to the wedding...Copy !req
1542. is not the right move
at this juncture.Copy !req
1543. I don't know.Copy !req
1544. In fact,
after all of your shenanigans...Copy !req
1545. it's gonna be hard for me
to ever go to The Hitching Post again.Copy !req
1546. You know, there was a nice way
to respond to that.Copy !req
1547. - Come on. Let me drive.
- No, I got it. You should rest.Copy !req
1548. You know what? I feel like driving.Copy !req

1594. - He's very considerate.
- That's great.Copy !req
1595. So how are you doing?Copy !req
1596. Since the last time we spoke?
I don't know.Copy !req
1597. Could be better. Could be worse.Copy !req
1598. - So what's happening with your book?
- Universally rejected.Copy !req
1599. - Strike three.
- Oh, Miles, that's awful.Copy !req
1600. What are you gonna do?Copy !req
1601. Back to the drawing board,
I guess. Or not.Copy !req
1602. I don't know.Copy !req
1603. So, anyway, you're married.Copy !req
1604. Congratulations. You look happy.Copy !req
1605. - I am.
- Good.Copy !req
1606. Seems like everybody's getting married.Copy !req
1607. Last year was all divorces.
This year it's all weddings.Copy !req
1608. - Cyclical, I guess.
- I guess.Copy !req
1609. Well what do you say
we hit the reception?Copy !req
1610. Have some champagne,
toast the newlyweds?Copy !req
1611. Not me. I'm not drinking.Copy !req

1616. Well, congratulations again, Vicki.Copy !req
1617. Boy, that's wonderful news.Copy !req
1618. - See you over there, Miles?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1619. "'The marrow of his bone, '
I repeated aimlessly.Copy !req
1620. "This, at last, penetrated my mind.Copy !req
1621. "Phineas had died
from the marrow of his bone...Copy !req
1622. "flowing down his bloodstream
to his heart.Copy !req
1623. "I did not cry then or ever about Finny.Copy !req
1624. "I did not cry even when I stood...Copy !req
1625. "watching him being lowered into
his family's straitlaced burial ground...Copy !req
1626. "outside of Boston.Copy !req
1627. "I could not escape the feeling
that this was my own funeral...Copy !req
1628. and you do not cry in that case."Copy !req
1629. Should I keep reading
the next chapter, Mr. Raymond?Copy !req
1630. No, no.
We'll pick up there Monday.Copy !req
1631. One new message.Copy !req
1632. Hello, Miles. It's Maya.Copy !req
1633. Thanks for your letter.Copy !req
1634. I-I would have called sooner...Copy !req
1635. but I think I needed some time to think
about everything that happened...Copy !req
1636. and what you wrote to me.Copy !req
1637. Another reason
I didn't call you sooner...Copy !req
1638. is because I wanted to finish your book,
which I finally did last night.Copy !req
1639. And I think it's really lovely, Miles.Copy !req
1640. You're so good with words.Copy !req
1641. Who cares
if it's not getting published?Copy !req
1642. There are so many beautiful
and... painful things about it.Copy !req
1643. Did you really go through all that?Copy !req
1644. Must have been awful.Copy !req
1645. And the sister character...
geez, what a wreck.Copy !req
1646. But I have to say that, well,
I was really confused by the ending.Copy !req
1647. I mean, did the father
finally commit suicide, or what?Copy !req
1648. It's driving me crazy.Copy !req
1649. Anyway...Copy !req
1650. it's turned cold and rainy here lately...Copy !req
1651. but I like winter.Copy !req
1652. So, listen, if you ever do decide to come
up here again, you should let me know.Copy !req
1653. I would say stop by the restaurant,
but to tell you the truth...Copy !req
1654. I'm not sure how much longer
I'm gonna be working there...Copy !req
1655. because I'm going to graduate soon.Copy !req
1656. So I'll probably want to relocate.Copy !req
1657. I mean, we'll see.Copy !req
1658. Anyway, like I said,
I really loved your novel.Copy !req
1659. Don't give up, Miles.
Keep writing.Copy !req
1660. I hope you're well.Copy !req
1661. Bye.Copy !req
