Privileged (2008–2009): Season 1, Episode 18 - All About a Brand New You! - full transcript

While Marco and Keith plan for their upcoming commitment wedding, Rose and Sage's sisterly relationship takes a bad turn when Rose decides to ditch their annual plans for spring break and go someplace on her own, in which Sage becomes upset. Zachary too feels that Rose is maturing rather quickly, and worries about the future of their relationship. Sage has relationship problems herself when Luis tells her that he does not believe in gay marriages and refuses to attend Marco and Keith's ceremony. Elsewhere, Will and Megan have a fight over their creative differences over Will's job and Megan's mental ability to be independent. Also, Megan finally finishes her biography about Laurel who approves it for publishing.

Previously on Privileged...

I'm going to move into my own room.

You hate me... don't you?

I just need to feel...

like I can be on my own.

Will you marry me?

Yes, I will.

It feels like we're
fighting a lot lately.

I know.

Yeah.

It sucks.



Privileged 1x18

All about a brand new you

Chapter 13 - I am woman, hear me roar

Already?

Damn.

Study time.

What is the problem?

I'm not saying that
doves aren't beautiful.

I'm just saying
they're not practical.

Right, Olivia?

Not if you want
the fireworks, too.

I can do doves.
I can do fireworks.

I can't do both
at the same time.

I had to learn that
the hard way.



Megan, we need
an unbiased opinion.

And I got a million
of 'em. Hit me.

Do doves make you
think of Jesus? Yes or no.

I never said that.
I just said they felt a little

?God bless ye merry gentlemen?

and the rabbi performing our
ceremony might not approve.

The rabbi's performing
a ceremony for two men.

Doves are the least
of his concern.

Three days, guys.
Three days here.

Ok, well, personally,
doves don't feel religious to me,

but I would worry
about the poop factor.

I mean, you guys are paying a
lot of money for the chuppah.

You don't want any bird crap
all over it, do you?

Thanks, perky!

Ok, fireworks it is.
Moving on.

Fireworks.

Hey, lady.

Ready to ibsen it up?

Or should we wait for Rose?

She's down at madrigals.

Or that ballroom dancing thing
she made Zach take with her.

I don't know.

She's taking ballroom dancing?

Yep.

Apparently Rose's quest
to becoming more independent

Has turned her into
a middle-aged divorc?e.

Hmm. Ok. Well, maybe we should
work out another study schedule.

That way I don't have
to do the lessons twice

and you guys could spend
some more time together.

I'm sure you miss her.

I'm fine.

Besides, we'll be spending lots of
time together in Aspen next week.

Oh, you guys are going to Aspen

For spring break?
That sounds fun.

We do it every year.
A couple of Thai massages

and a few seaweed body wraps,

and Rose will be back to normal.

Now, are we gonna study?
I have a life.

Ok.

Henrik Ibsen's
A Doll's House.

Now the question
that's being posed is,

is Nora a hero or an anti-hero?
Now, I wondered if--

Hero, obviously.

Ok. Well, so much for discussion.

What's to discuss?

She had a douche-bag husband
who gave her an eating disorder

and kept calling her a squirrel.

- I'd leave, too.
- Really?

I'm surprised at how quickly
you came to that conclusion.

I'm a big fan of blink.

Anyway, we don't need
to talk about this

because I'm just going to wing
the presentation,

and I'm sure I'll do fine.

I'm sure that
you'll do fine, too,

but what if instead of doing
fine, you did great, you know?

Took the time to make case,

form a reargument, maybe throw
in some bullet points.

Maybe change the minds
of one of your classmates.

What do I care
if Loretta Bernardo

agrees with me about
some stupid play?

Because the ability
to make people think

is a powerful gift, Sage.

And you are a really
strong person

with an intelligent
point of view,

and, I don't know,

you could really effect
people if you tried.

I don't need bullet points to
get people to agree with me.

I have a black
amex card for that.

Hmm, ok.

Let's talk about Mrs. Linde.

Do you think that her arrival

was a contributing factor

to Nora's decision
to leave at the end of the play?

Or do you think
that she would have

made a different decision
had Mrs. Linde now shown up?

Oh, yeah. I talk about that
on page three.

You finished your whole
report already?

Well, I have to give mine in tomorrow
since I'm leaving town early.

I already told Laurel.
She said it was fine.

Really? Sage didn't say anything

about you leaving
early for Aspen.

Oh, no, she told
you about Aspen?

Help!

Help!

Oh, yay, it's finally here!

Some might say
she's single-handedly

revitalizing the economy with
her shopping addiction.

Some might ask you to take that
silver lining and hang me with it.

Wow.

Ok, that's not from anthropology.

Nope.

This is a survival kit.

Oh, I'm gonna hate
this story, aren't I?

Ok, so you know how I moved into
my own room about a month ago

after I found out that you guys
all lied to me about different stuff?

You've decided to kill us

and leave our bodies
in the woods?

Wow, that's
super dark, Megan.

Actually, I think this has been
really good for me.

I've grown a lot these
past couple of weeks.

I'm writing in my journal,

I'm getting dressed
without the oracle,

and I'm even learning how
to make my own smoothies.

Well, that's great, Rose.

I know! So I figured,
why not step it up a notch

and go on a wilderness
expedition.

Well, it's gonna foster
my personal growth,

encourage teamwork,

and it's gonna teach me
how to spelunk.

Teach you how to sp-what?

Check it out.

Ten days in a northern Minnesota
frozen wonderland.

Doesn't that sound awesome?

It sounds... cold!

And not necessarily
the next step

after having just
mastered the blender.

You don't think
I can hack it?

I'm sure you can hack it.
It's just...

Well, it's not how I thought

you would be spending
your spring break.

Mainly because Sage just told me
that you were spending it together.

In Aspen.

Oh, you haven't told her yet,
have you?

Well, I was hoping maybe
that you could do it for me.

Oh, I would rather
learn how to spelunk!

But she's not gonna understand
why I want to do all this!

Ok, well, she's never
going to understand

if you don't talk to her about it.

And the longer you wait,
the worse it's gonna be.

What on earth?

What are you crossing out?

Oh, I'm just changing your
wedding vows. Don't mind me.

Well, stop it. I spent a long
time writing those vows.

Did you? Or did you rent
?Beaches? last weekend

and get all moony over Midler?

Yeah, I thought so.
Wind beneath my ass!

Uh, hey, man.

I've been meaning
to talk to you

about this weekend.

You picked the fish, guapo.

No backsies!

No, I know.

It's just that my folks
are coming in on Saturday.

They wanted to surprise me
and already booked the flight.

How sweet.

Yeah, that's adorable.
They can't come.

- Olivia!
- You want to change the seating chart again?

They can't come.

I figured, but my mom's
gonna freak out

if I don't spend time with them.

They're only coming in
for a couple of days.

It's ok.
Go be with your family.

Mm-hmm.
And you owe me $250.

You owe me new vows
tomorrow, Marco.

Seacrest out!

Mmm, smells so good in here.

Steak au poivre.
Be ready in a few.

Oh, I can't tonight.
I have dinner with Will.

Really?

Yes, really.
What's with all the eyebrows?

No eyebrows. I just haven't seen sir
William around these past few weeks.

That's because we've
both been really busy.

He's been spending all
his time at the magazine,

and I've been working
on my book about Laurel.

Wow, that's great.
I just love it

when people bury
themselves in work

to avoid relationship troubles.

It always turns out so well.

We are not avoiding anything.

Oh, no?

When was the last time you
two went out on a real date?

I told you, we are
going out tonight.

Hi, pookie!

Hey, don't be mad, but I have
to cancel dinner tonight.

Oh, no. What happened?

David called another
last minute meeting

for all the department heads, and--

Wait, did you just
call me "pookie"?

Didn't you have
one of those last night?

Yes, and the night before that,

and the night before that.

This guy David is a nightmare.

I mean, he can't make
a decision to save his life.

We've literally reformatted
the entire issue

six times already.

Well, you know what, that's ok.

I have some writing
to do anyway.

So we can just do
it another time.

Like maybe tomorrow.

I could come by
for lunch tomorrow.

Oh. Actually, I'm, um,

I'm supposed to go see
my dad tomorrow morning.

You know what, Whatever,
I will go by his house earlier

and then I will come
to see you at lunch.

Well, no, don't change
your plans if it's a big deal.

No, no, no, no,
it's not a big deal.

I miss you.

And it feels like it's been
forever since we hung out.

I know, I--
I miss you, too.

Will, can you come here?

So, yeah, come by tomorrow.

That'll be great.

Ok, good.

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

So how do you like
your steak, pookie?

Cielo Prep

Hey, you want one
of my French fries?

I can't.

The brochure says that
I need to prepare my stomach

for the foods I'm going
to be eating in the wild.

Oh, like berries and stuff?

And maybe even antelope.

Which is not the same
thing as cantaloupe.

I was really bummed
when I found that out.

What is that horrible smell?

I'm literally dying.

Sorry, it's me.

It's my bug repellant.

Oh, my god!

No! I know, it's gross,

but I have to get
my skin used to it

so I don't get zits.

That does it.

I've put up with a lot of
weird crap recently,

but that's the last straw.

I mean, fleece, Rose?
Seriously?

Why not just get a perm
and call it a day? Ugh.

Jojo!

You happy now?
You're driving away

all our friends
with all your growing.

Look, ok, I know
that you're still mad--

Of course I'm still mad.

It's gonna take me
more than just 24 hours

to get over the fact that you're
ditching me for spring break.

Well, it's something
that I have to do!

You don't have
to do any of this!

You want to.

Just admit that you're changing
into someone else on purpose;

someone who doesn't need
their friends or their boyfriend

or even their sister.

At least then we can all
stop waiting for you.

Oh... you know
that's not true, Zach.

Yeah, I know.

But maybe this trip
isn't the best idea.

Maybe I should go with you.

You know, I could skip out
on my model U.N. trip,

although being in Russia,

I do get to wear the furry hat.

You don't think that I can do it.

Oh, no, no,
that's not what I was--

Well, guess what?
I'm not sure

that I can, either.

But that's the point--
to push myself, ok?

Push myself so...

I don't have to lean on anyone

like I've been doing
my whole life.

And if you don't
understand that,

then I don't want to share
my bird seed lunch with you.

Do not help me!

I am so sorry
I'm late.

I had the most
terrible morning--

Please tell me it's not Friday.

- It's Friday.
- I refuse to accept that.

- Hey, Megan.
- Hi.

Will, have you done the revisions
on the fourth section yet?

Because apparently it's Friday.

I'm almost done, but I was
just about to take a quick lunch.

You know what, go.
Go. Live your life.

Because we are never getting
this issue out on time anyway.

- Oh, yeah, we are.
- Is he always this calm?

- Yep.
- Does it drive you crazy?

Indeedy-do.

Are you ok?

You said "terrible."

Well,

my dad flaked on me this morning

and I could have been
working on Laurel's book,

which is way overdue.

Maybe we should just cancel lunch.

What? No!

Come on. I mean,
you're stressed out,

I've got a ton
of work to do, and...

let's just stick to our plan
for Saturday night.

Are we avoiding
each other?

What are you talking about?

No, I know...

That we're busy.

You're busy and I'm busy,
and I don't know.

I mean...

There's a lot of cute girls
running around this office,

and when was the
last time we had sex?

Oh, I'm glad that
you think it's so funny!

No, I don't think that it's funny,
I think it's sweet.

And I'm glad that you're worried
about all the cute girls,

even though you don't
need to be. But...

It's nice to know
that you still care.

Of course I care.

Good. So do I.

We're just--come on,
we're just in a thing.

- It's--
- Yeah.

- Yeah, and we're busy.
- We're really busy!

Right? And you know what,
as soon as this issue comes out,

we're gonna take a trip.

- We are?
- Yes.

Me and you. A week in St. Bart's.
How great does that sound?

Well, it sounds amazing, but are you
sure that you can take off work?

I mean, after the first
issue comes out,

you'll basically be going
right into the second one, and--

That's my problem.

All right, I'll figure it out,
don't worry.

Ok.

Call me later?

Call you later.

Hey, gorgeous.
I'm almost done here.

Oh, take your time.

So I heard a rumor
that someone's parents

might be coming
into town this weekend.

And as luck would have it,
I'm completely free tomorrow.

I thought that I have to meet
your parents, obviously.

No, no, no, no,
I'm sorry,

I forgot about that.

I would love to introduce
you my parents...

Except they're not really coming.
I made that up.

Seriously? Why?

Well, because I needed
an excuse to get out

of going to Marco's
ceremony thing.

I'm confused.

I can't participate in something
like that, that's all.

Something like what?

I love Marco, You know that.

I just think it's hypocritical
of me to attend something

I don't think should be happening.

Two dudes getting married?
Come on.

I don't believe this.

It's not like I'm the only one

in the world who feels that way.

Most of this country
agrees with me.

I'm not dating
most of the country.

And you know what,
most of the country

thinks it's ok to wear mini skirts
with cowboy boots,

but you know what?
They're wrong!

And you're wrong!
And I can't believe

how idiotic you
sound right now!

Hey!
Forget it.

I got it!

Wait, no,
I don't got it!

Oops.

Hello, Zach.
I think Rose has just landed.

Wait, what?

Hey.

Um, so listen,
listen.

I feel really bad about
what I said yesterday.

Mainly because
I didn't mean it at all.

What didn't you mean?

I'm not worried about you
getting hurt in the woods.

I mean, yeah, I do worry
about your safety,

generally speaking,

but that's not why
I don't want you to go.

So why don't you
want me to go?

'Cause I'm afraid.

Some of what your sister
was saying is true.

You know, You are changing.

And not in a bad way,

but I'm just nervous that
if you change too much

you might change into someone
who doesn't want to date me anymore.

Oh, Zach!

Look, I just don't
if I'm ever going

to be the kind of guy who
can go number 2 in the woods.

And after 10 days of
wilderness expedition,

you might want a sportier guy,
or, I don't know...

You may be right.

Look, I don't know what I'm going
to be like when I get back,

or what I'm gonna want.

I guess anything is possible,

and that's what makes
it so exciting.

But...

I really hope we still want to be
together when I get back.

'Cause I like you a lot.

Lynn, I can't control the market,

so what the hell
do you want me to do?

That is not an option.

I just said I'm not interested.

Because I'm not, that's why. Oh!

I could come back
at a better time.

Oh, well, if I would have
believed my associates,

there may not be
a better time.

What are you
holding there?

Well, actually--
is this my book?

The first hundred pages.

I included an outline
for the remainder oft.

This is exciting.

I hope you like it.
And again, it's very rough.

And it's just the
first third of it, so...

Oh, uh,
excuse me, Laurel,

it's Will.

Hey, Will, what's up?

I'll be right there. Um...

I'm sorry, Laurel, but, um,

Will needs me to come over.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Olivia: and 1, 2, 3,
1, 2, 3,

Who sucks more?
I don't know.

Ugh! You're not
listening to the rhythm.

It's hard to dance properly

when somebody stuck shrimp
onto the menu without telling me.

For the last time,
we are not kosher!

Well, my parents
don't eat high trife!

What the hell is high trife!

All right, now listen,
gays, and listen good.

The only reason I signed
on for this shindig

is because, when I met you two,

you both seemed
so stupid happy,

it actually restored
my faith in love again.

If I wanted to participate
in a craptastic marriage,

I would go to my
parents' house for dinner

so get it in gear,

or you're gonna have
yourselves a red hag walkin'.

Both: sorry.

I'll go talk to her.

I'll talk to the caterer.

You need anything, honey?

Oh, no.
What did you do?

Nothing!
I didn't do anything.

Well, maybe I did.

See, I just found out
that a friend of mine

lied to another
friend of mine.

And I don't know
if I should tell him,

because it's probably going
to hurt his feelings--

I mean, her feelings--

And it's not really my place
to get involved, and--

and you really don't want me
to fire Luis over it.

Exactly. Wait--

I know Luis' parents
aren't coming to town.

Honey, I've boogied down
the homophobic block many times.

Luis couldn't even
look me in the eye

when he was making up
that doozy.

I'm so sorry, Marco.

Obviously, I disagree with him

about the whole thing.
I can't wait to come tomorrow.

I know. And I can't wait
to see what you're wearing.

It's just so awful
that he feels this way.

I mean, how am I supposed
to date him now?

Obviously, we have to break up.

No, no, no, don't go
all Norma Gay for me.

This is not something
to break up over.

You have a difference of opinion.

It happens all the time.

Yeah, but it's a big difference.

It bums me out that
he thinks this way.

Well, he's young,

he might change his mind.

And being with someone
as smart as you

might be the reason he changes
his mind. You never know.

Thank you, sweetie.

I love you, too.

Are you going
to say something soon?

Yeah, hold on a sec,

I'm just trying to read my
handwriting, and it sucks.

I can't read my bullets.

I'm not in the mood
for a lecture.

It's not a lecture.

I just want to...

encourage an open dialogue about
an issue that is important to me.

First, I'd like to apologize

for my behavior yesterday.

I didn't mean to call you idiotic.

That was immature.

Thank you.

I've given a lot of thought
to what you said,

and I'd like to propose
a counter-argument.

And my first step
in this argument

will be a screening
of Sean Penn's ?Milk?.

Forget it.

What's wrong with Sean Penn?

I'm not interested, Sage.

Not interested in what,
having a discussion?

Yes. I don't need
to discuss everything.

Some things just are.

But that's crazy.

If it's not up for discussion,
then what's the point?

The point is to be
grateful for the things

we already know
the answers to.

It's the people who
challenge every tiny notion

that are unhappy in this world.

I'm not unhappy,
I'm involved.

Ok.

When you wanted me
to go to church,

I didn't want to,

but I went because I knew
it was important to you.

And I'm so glad I did, because
I found out all this stuff about myself

and I'm better for it now.

But you won't even sit down and
watch a stupid movie with me?

Because I don't need to.
I feel the way I feel,

and I don't understand why
it has to be such a big deal.

It doesn't. I--

I just wanted
to talk about it,

but if it's making
you that upset, then...

we don't have to,
we can skip it.

Ok.

So, if you want to see a
different movie, I'm up for that.

I probably shouldn't.

It's getting late,

and I have to get up early.

Ok.

Well, have fun tomorrow.

I will. Thanks.

Will: No, I hear what
you're saying, man,

but if you want to
change the entire layout

before we go to print,
that means--

No, it's not that
I can't get out of it,

I just don't know
that it's necessary.

Ok, look, let me
call you back, ok?

Ok.

What's going on?
It's the same thing!

He keeps changing his mind
about this layout or that picture

or which article
goes where,

and it's like... who cares

It's a frickin' indie magazine
that five people are going to read.

So he wants you to go
back to work now?

What he wants
would take all night

and then all day tomorrow.

And I'd miss Marco's wedding.

Oh...
Yes, exactly.

Screw that noise.

Well, what is it that he
wants you to do?

It's a totally lateral move.

The whole thing
was better on Monday.

So you don't like
the way it looks either.

Well, that's good.

What's good about it?

Well, at least the work that you'll
be doing will make it better, you know,

something that you
can more proud of.

I'm not going in, Megan.

Will...
What?

You can't not go in.
He's your boss.

Well, if he would have
listened to me on Monday,

then we wouldn't be in this
situation in the first place.

Ok, but you are in it,
and it's your job,

and you're really lucky
to have it, so suck it up.

Excuse me?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean
for it to sound like that.

I'm just--I'm just saying,

it is the first issue, and it
sounds like he's stressing.

Wait, are you
taking his side?

No, of course not.

You just sound like you're
taking this all for granted,

and it's a little hard
for me to swallow,

because I would kill to be
in your position right now.

You could have been in
my position, you opted out.

I did not opt out!

It would have taken one
phone call from my dad,

but, no, you were
too good for that.

I didn't want to get
the job that way!

Why not? Lots of people
get jobs that way, Megan.

That's life.
It's not always

about being cautious, or climbing up
some imaginary ladder.

Oh, I love how you're going
to tell me how life works

when you were just
sitting here saying

Um, screw my boss,
I'm not going in,

let's fly off to
St. Bart's for the week!

Don't do that.

Then don't tell me that
I didn't want that job,

because I wanted it.

I was never going to get it

because David had to choose
between you and me,

and the decision
was made before

I even started to pitch.
What are you talking about?

He didn't want
both of us there

because we were dating,
and fighting, and--

Who told you that?
He did, ok?

he told me that.

And you didn't
feel the need to share

that bit of information with me?

What good
would it have done?

You don't get it.

All of this, it's normal to you.

Things come easy to you,

and you never even
stop to ask why

because that's how
your life is.

Maybe that's why you
don't know what it feels like

to take pride in your work
or appreciate the process,

because it's never been earned!

Oh, god, let it go, Megan!

Stop analyzing me and reducing me
to some dumbass stereotype!

That's not--

You know what,
I don't care what you think

because I am done apologizing
for who I am and where I come from.

All right, it's obvious that I am
never going to be enough for you,

and to be honest with you,
I am so over it.

I am sick of all
of your rules

and your whole type "A"
approach to life.

It's too hard.
You make it too hard, Megan.

What are you saying?

I'm saying...

I don't want to do
this anymore.

I'm done.

I'm getting married!

Congratulations, Mrs. Giordiani.

You must be
very excited!

She can't hear you.
Also, she's blind as a bat.

So ix-nay on the eith-kay.

Just kidding.

Noni's the first person
I came out to.

Isn't that right, Noni?

The deaf part was true.
Where the hell is that boy?

Don't worry,
he's coming.

Oh, and I'm sorry about Will.

What?

Well, he told me he wasn't
going to be able to make it today.

Oh, honey, don't worry.

I'll make sure you have
plenty of dance partners.

Olivia:
Ooh, all right.

Remind me never
to do a wedding again--

Where the hell are we?
Florida.

Yeah, thank you. It might actually
be too moist for love.

Ok. You've gotta take your seat.

Grandma, center stage!

Ok, boys, make me proud.

This is it!

Rose, start the singing now!

Rabbi: Marco,

Keith,

this day's been
a long time coming.

You're not dancing.

I'm not really good
at the free style.

Reckless abandon,
not really my thing.

I read your pages.

I think they're wonderful.

It's funny, thoughtful.

Tad over-written in places,

but we can work on that.

Well, I'm glad
you liked them.

Well, let's be serious.
It's a book about me

I'm your target audience.

I must admit,
it is something

seeing my life
all typed up like that.

I never realized
how many times

I had reinvented myself
over the years.

It's pretty impressive.

Where's William?

Oh, I would--

Well, hmm.

We broke up.

Oh, no.

I'm so sorry.

What happened?

I don't know. Uh...

Something about me
making life too hard

with my rigid, type "A"...

I don't know.

It's who I am.

It's who I always
have been.

And do you like
who you are?

I don't know.

Sometimes I wish I could
be more impulsive.

Not worry so much about the
rules and the consequences.

But... I just don't think
that's in my DNA.

Well, change isn't something
that just happens, Megan.

It's something
you make happen.

Chapter 3-- My Turban Phase.

You think that came naturally?

Oh, perhaps you should practice

a little impulsive
behavior right now.

Maybe some free style.

I'll go if you come with.

What the hell?

Yes!

Yeah, you think?

You nailed it.
This is exactly right.

Yeah? I mean, I couldn't figure out
what you meant before,

but when I started looking
at the copy side-by-side--

it changed your
perspective, right?

Sometimes I think
I'm going crazy

looking over the same
piece of copy 60 times,

but when it's right,
you just know it,

and it feels great, right?

Yeah. It does.

Look, man,
I'm sorry if I've been

a little bit hard on you recently.

It's just that this is--

this is a huge
opportunity for me,

and I don't want
your dad to think

that he made a
mistake in hiring me.

Oh, I'm sure that he doesn't.

Yeah, well, I don't have
the luxury of being sure.

I just have to be great.

You're lucky.
You get to be both.

What do you mean?

You don't have
to be talented, man.

But you are.

And I really appreciate how
hard you've been working.

I'm lucky to have you
as a member of my team.

Well, I'm lucky
to be here, David.

Do you want to help me
pick out my cover choice?

I'm down to my top 8.

I'm in.

This is...

Yeah.

I was hoping you would
come home first.

Yeah, I got that oral
report to do tomorrow,

and I still have
some work to do, so...

What are you doing here?

I was waiting for you.

Really?

I didn't like the way
we left things last night.

I thought we'd go out,
have some coffee.

Yeah, that sounds good.

All right, you go
change and I'll wait.

Ok.

You didn't ask me
how it was.

Oh, right, right.
How was it?

It was amazing.

Marco and Keith
were so happy,

and the ceremony was so
touching, I actually cried.

Can you believe that?

Yeah. That's great.

Yeah, it was.

And you missed it.

Yeah, well, that's ok.

You're gonna miss
a lot of stuff, huh?

I mean, probably.

I mean, you've already
made up your mind

about so many things,

it's hard to be open to all
the new experiences out there.

I'm good with
the experiences I have.

It's enough for me.

Maybe.

But it's not enough for me.

I guess I just want
to be with someone

who wants to explore with me.

Someone who wants
to see everything

and ask questions

and change my mind
and let me change theirs.

I want to have as much
doubt as I do certainty.

And--and you...

And you don't.

No, I don't.

You're an amazing guy, Luis.

But I just don't think
you're the right guy for me.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

I hope you get
everything you want.

Is it just me, or did the party
get a whole lot smaller.

It's not just you.

Right.

Well, I guess that means
I shouldn't order another cocktail.

Well, they're still free, right?

Scotch and soda, please.

I'll have a champagne, please.

So, um, groom or groom?

I am friends with Marco.
Are you?

Keith used to live
next door to my family.

In England?
Oh, no.

So is that a fake accent?

No.

Ok.

Where are those
crazy lovebirds?

You know? 'Cause I wanted to
say good-bye before I left.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure
they left already.

Oh. Ok.

Must have missed that one.

Mmm, well, you know.

When the wedding party
leaves the party,

I guess the party
is definitely over.

Agreed. But I hear
some of the guests

are gonna go to the breakers.
Do you want to--

No, I can't. Mm-mmm.

Although,
maybe I should.

No.

No, no.

No, I can't. No.

But, uh, well, you know,
it was a pleasure meeting you.

You, too.

Toodles.

We're on the same shuttle.

Right.

You know, I'll take the next one.

Come in.

Hey.

I just--
I wanted to say bye.

My flight leaves super
early tomorrow morning

and I didn't want
to wake you, so...

Wait, have you been crying?

Oh, my gosh, what's wrong?

Oh! What happened?

Luis and I broke up.

Oh, no! Why?

I don't know!

I guess at the end,

we just really were too different,

just not for the reasons
everyone thought.

God, I'm so sorry.

Me, too.

Forget it, I'm not going.

What?

I cannot leave you like this.

Oh! This is your
first real break-up.

You are going to need
hugs and ice cream

and oxygen facials.
No, I'll be fine.

Sage...
I promise.

Obviously this trip
is really important to you,

and maybe I don't understand
all the reasons why,

but... I'm so proud
of you, Rosie.

I think it's really brave.

You do?

Yeah.

I do.

I'm freaking out.

What?

I mean, I am balls
to the walls terrified!

I'm pretty sure that
there's a good chance

that I'm gonna get eaten
by a cantaloupe!

Antelope.

Right. Oh, my god!

I think you'll be fine.

I think we'll both be fine.

At least I hope so.

Me, too.

And all this personal
growth stuff is so stressful.

It's--it's hard figuring out

the kind of person
you want to be.

Frankly I don't know
why we started trying.

Things were a lot easier
when all we did was shop.

I blame Megan.

Totally.

Oh, well,
speaking of Megan,

are you done
with your report?

I'm so bummed I'm
gonna miss it tomorrow.

I think so.

Took me a while
to finish, actually.

I think the question
was kind of hard.

Hmm. Well, do you want
to practice on me?

Yeah, it'll help get your
mind off Luis for a little bit,

until we get our
ice cream sundaes.

Oh, yeah, we're getting
ice cream sundaes.

Ok.

In Henrik Ibsen's play
A Doll's House,

We're being asked to decide
whether or not we think

the protagonist Nora
is a hero or an anti-hero.

Now, one might look at her
choices of lying to her husband

and abandoning her family
as only an anti-hero would do.

And some might argue that
those very same choices

were courageous for a
woman of that time,

leading you to believe
that Nora is actually a hero.

But I don't think that either one
of these things are true.

I think people are complex.

They're not good or bad,
black or white.

I think labels are destructive.

Unless, of course,
it's a Chanel label.

The choices we make,
especially when we're young,

don't decide who we are.

They just add to the
people we're becoming.

So I reject the idea
of hero or anti-hero.

I challenge the question itself.

Hello?

I'm sorry,
did I wake you?

Oh, no.

No, no, no, I was just--

I was just getting up.

I want to apologize.

All right, I said a lot of things
the other day that I didn't mean,

and I was frustrated
and tired,

and I didn't really get
what you were saying.

What I was saying?

But last night,
we finished the magazine

and it was amazing.
And I was so proud.

Like, I really contributed
to something,

and--and you were right,

I never really knew what
that felt like before.

And had you not said it,
it might not have registered.

That's great. But--

I need you, Megan.

I love you.

You do?

Look, I know we have
our problems,

but I really think
that we can work it out.

Can I come over?

I want--
I want to talk.

Ok, great.
Yeah, come over.

I'll see you in 10.

Morning, sexy.
