I booked Moby-Dick!
And all you have to do
is probably have dinner with her. She's a widow.
If you're holding onto your pills
- then I think you still have not decided. - Unbelievable.
They don't show your fetus hand on my fetus hand.
- So what did you think? - It was embarrassing.
He just needs to express himself, you said.
- Look at him! - This is a reaction to pot.
I have an appointment. I'm wondering if you can stand in for me.
- Like a free dinner? - I do not negotiate
with degenerates. I am cutting you off.
- She wants to see me again, Ray. - She said that?
Okay, guys, why don't you tell me why you're fighting.
How can I help you if I don't know what the problem is?
What's going on at the house?
- Mom saw a beaver. - She thought she did.
- What's that supposed to mean? - Nobody else saw it, so you draw your own conclusions.
Are you calling her a liar?
Well, where did it go? Beaverland?
- Guys. - Maybe one of your fat friends ate the beaver.
Yeah, or maybe mom ate one of your stupid scones and hallucinated it.
Guys, guys, knock it off.
What's up with you two?
You never used to fight like this before.
Tell your mom she can borrow my traps if she needs to.
- You tell her. - Well, your mom and I...
Are not in the best place right now.
Because she's having a baby with Ronnie?
You guys are divorced. What do you care?
I don't. I'm just trying to be helpful.
Mom, I'm excited, I'm excited. What do you want from me?
We need to celebrate life's victories.
Are you coming to my dinner or not, Tanya?
Mom, look, I think it's great that you're chair of cinema studies,
but, you know, I have a life too.
Uh, I have to go.
Hi, Frances.
Thank you so much for meeting me.
I'm, uh, so sorry.
What happened was not right and not professional.
We don't bait and switch like at.
I promised you one thing and you got...
if you'll permit me,
I would like to reintroduce you to Richard free of charge.
I'm not interested in Richard.
I understand.
I'd like to book Mike.
Mike?
You like Mike?
You guys had a good time?
Well, yes, we had a nice time under the circumstances.
Mike was very considerate
and he has a very attractive speaking voice.
I'm so happy to hear that.
So I would be willing to book him again.
That is if we could work it out on a weekend basis.
I... a weekend basis?
Let's face it, Tanya,
your hourly rate is too high.
I want a flat rate.
- Flat rate? - Mmm.
$1500 a weekend,
unlimited hours.
$1500?
Pfft, that's fair.
I will call Mike and I will...
I will let him know the details.
Good.
I'd rather not talk money with...
it's odd, but I'd be embarrassed.
Somehow it's nicer to pretend.
Yeah.
- Ah, God! - Hey!
Ray, Ray, we did it! We did it!
- We did it! We did it! - What?
- We did it! - Hey, will you put that away?
This is a neighborhood. Where'd you get that?
Mike.
Frances is very taken with Mike.
Frances wants Mike to come back.
Ray. Ray, wait.
Seriously, look at this.
Ray, come on. Come on, Ray.
- Shit. - I know, it's not what we planned.
It's not what we planned, but it's a terrific turn of events.
So Frances paid all that money for Mike?
Yes, for the whole weekend.
Ray, she can't get enough of him.
So you... you go to Mike and you talk to him for me.
And you make the introductions
and you explain to him that I'm in charge of negotiations.
You just screw Lenore, Ray.
This is a whole new business model.
This is me and you and Mike.
Tanya, I need you to give that money back.
- What? - He likes her.
He won't even take the 500 bucks for the date.
He thinks it's about dinner and being her companion.
Like a dating service. He's got no idea about the rest of it.
Okay okay. So we go to him and we ask him
and we see what he says.
He's a grown man. He can make his own decisions.
I've known Mike for 15 years.
Not gonna do it.
Okay?
You know, for the first time,
the guy's got a spring in his step.
Maybe they have a shot.
What?
Um...
Why do you want me to fail?
I don't want you to fail, Tanya.
I want us to succeed, okay?
Just not with Mike and not th Frances.
I know how hard you worked on this whale, okay?
But we can find other...
How are we gonna get other clients when you keep driving them away?
You find some reason to sabotage them all.
I do not do that.
- I try hard. - Okay.
Look at this.
Just look at... look at this.
Um, this... this is what
Mike got after one night. Okay?
This is more than you ever brought in in a whole week.
Okay? So what does he got, I'm wondering, that you don't have?
Cut it out. I think maybe he and Frances hit it off.
I mean, Mike got lucky.
- Obviously. - Yeah, you're jealous.
You don't want Mike around
because you think he'll outperform you.
- Ridiculous. - You can't stand to think
that somebody might be a better lay than Ray Drecker.
Tanya, I never got a shot with her.
Remember me?
I am the guy who gets the crazy ones
and the married ones and the pregnant ones.
Yeah, you do. Yeah, you do.
And where are all those satisfied customers now?
Where is Molly? Where's Claire?
Where's Moby-Dick?
She's with Mike, Ray.
And me and you, we're with no one.
And I just think it's time that we ask ourselves why.
Thank you, John. We will get back to you.
- Ron. - One second, honey.
- I'm getting rid of the exterminator. - What did he say?
So there's no beaver scat. There's no other indicators.
Plus this isn't even their natural habitat.
But I saw it, Ron.
There was a beaver sitting right there.
Beaver is dirty animal.
It carries giardiasis. Beaver fever.
I know what I saw, Ron. Why won't you believe me?
I'd love to, but a very competent man just told us otherwise.
- The beavers, they gnaw at foundation. - We got it, ma.
Destroy property values.
Let's just see if this beaver turns up again.
Ron, I am not bringing a baby into a house full of beavers.
It's always something with you, Jess.
Today it's beavers, tomorrow what... locusts?
It's not her fault you have beaver problem.
Ah!
Oooh.
Damn popcorn. Ay!
Frances met Mike
and she couldn't get enough of him.
Was I missing something?
What did he have that I didn't?
There you are.
- Hi. - Where is she?
She's in the back reading room.
- Okay. - Wait, Ray.
Look, I know we're acting like everything's normal,
but I sense something is up.
Are you still mad at me about Jessica?
- Did you see her? - I did.
Then I'm still mad about it.
Don't be, Ray.
I know you are having all these emotions
because she hired a gigolo and almost got you.
But that's not my fault.
How was I supposed to know Jessica is your ex-wife?
Look, I am her only friend, okay?
She needs me.
Why would I tell her about us? Why would I do that?
I'm your pimp. I protect you.
I don't get why you're being so suspicious.
Did Tanya put anti-Lenore ideas in your head?
I'm gonna be late, Lenore.
Fine, she's back there.
Second table to the left, dark hair, red flowered dress.
Thank you.
- Richard? - Hi.
Hi, I'm Liz.
You like libraries, huh?
Yeah, I love 'em.
And I figured, you know, I don't know you so...
- Yeah. - You, uh, want to walk around?
